Now that I’m free and that my iPad is about to die, I do have thoughts about the tws/t anime
Like first, I hope they’ll keep the voice actors because that’s exactly why I started the game. Itokawa Yojiro and Futaba Kaname mostly, but I appreciate a lot of them.
Now will they do the regular story or will it be like that Heartslabyul manga?? Like… the story is not finished and ngl if it takes them a year to complete a chapter, I wonder how much it’ll take for the anime to come to that point. But lol I’m not fan of that manga, so idk what I’d prefer.
And Yuu… I… have low expectations about them. Probably unpopular opinion but I don’t like what they did w Yuuken. But ?? How will they manage a blank avatar?? What TR did in Hanamaru was not including them directly and the characters only spoke to the camera as if that was the saniwa. And I liked this approach but it won’t work here because Yuu is actually part of the story. What TR did in Katsugeki was making an original character for them but… I didn’t like him at all. If Yuu is included they’ll have to give them an appearance which means also a gender and honestly I don’t want to see the fandom when it comes to that.
And the last one is exactly about the fandom. I don’t wanna sound elitist nor gatekeep anything but like…. The fandom will become insufferable…. I remember all the issues when the game just came out. People calling it an otome, people making fun of the animefied characters, the discourse. I can even see shipping wars forming. It’s already hard enough as it is, more people will just make it more insufferable :’) especially since it’s Disney which brings a different kind of insufferable fans.
Now, of course I’m excited (even tho certain things will kill me again if I watch them!!) and I’ll try to watch even if I know games don’t translate well into anime, but I simply can’t have high expectations.

Hey! Hi, so I have seen that you ship Kevin and Aaron very much. Now, I read your 9th part of the foxes + onesies series and well now I'm craving more Kevaaron. I love them so much, but I have the hardest time finding good fics for them. So could you recommend me some of your favorite Kevaaron fics? (you can give however many you want, but no more than 10, cause I know you are going to give good recs and if I start reading one, I won't be able to stop until I finish all of them.)
Well hi!!!
I read (and publish) all my fics on ao3, so I hope this won’t be a problem! Also, most of these Kevaaron fics, if I remember well without the tags, are rated Mature or Explicit, so I’ll try to diverse my recs a bit but if these are too much for you (or any of you) please don’t hesitate to ask again for more sfw/G-rated fics, and I shall answer your call! And, I’ll only suggest completed fics, because I’d hate to leave you hanging.
The only fic I will recommend that is not on ao3 is the first one. 
Kevaaron Fic Recs
Twilight & Daytime - @ukamushu_the_bibliophile on Instagram
This. This fic. I have followed the chapters since day one. It is now complete. What was even better than this fic is the friendship I’ve been blessed to form with its writer, Kammy. She is an amazing woman and a wonderful writer who gave each character of our beloved series a new and unique twist, and much more depth. Kevin and Aaron are lucky to have her writing them, and we are lucky to have her for reading her sweet, heartfelt and honest story. This fic is an emotional journey, but a welcomed one. I urge you all to read her story and encourage her and show her some love!
(44 parts, completed, TW at the beginning of each posted chapter)
* Summary to be added once I get it from Kammy *
coming loose - dhedy on ao3 
I mean... I think we all started there... 
(13 chapters, 26,300 words, completed, G)
“  “What are you doing?” Aaron heard the door shut and closed his eyes. Even his eyelids were sticky. “It’s hot,” he said, the effort of peeling the words from his lips lingering in the form of sweat dripping down his face. “I was asking Andrew.” From somewhere near his feet, Andrew said, “It’s extremely hot.” - it's hot, and the twins are disgruntled, and aaron can't stop hoping for things he can't have. “ 
twin high maintenance machines - thisnightsrevels on ao3
This is slowburn af but god is it good.
(1 chapter, 17,500 words, completed, G)
“ Healing was never going to be easy, but maybe together they could find a way
Kevin and Aaron have grown sick of living under Andrews thumb, and slowly they're coming to realise that there are better things to live for beyond the bottle he shoves in their hand. “
The Thing About Andrew - aristotlethecat on ao3
This shit gets heavy but... so worth it.
(11 chapters, 10,300 words, completed, M + TW + Explicit)
“  Kevin is ignoring Andrew after canon events because of the choking thing and he finds solace in late night talks with the more sane of the two twins who has also suffered at his brother's hands. “
all of the things (that i’m not) - vertigo on ao3
Oh boy, this? This is a heartwrenching AU, slowburn-y and angsty and. ugh.
(5 chapters, 47,500 words, completed, M + TW + Explicit)
“  It took three swats of his racquet (heavy, short in length, shallow net depth, one parallel red mark on the middle of the body) to break Kevin's hand and spirit. “
or; Kevin never really heals from his hand injury, never goes to PSU, moves to Cleveland to co-coach its Exy team that just happens to have Aaron as one of its backliner...
Honey, You’re Familiar - OfficialStarsandGutters on ao3 
I don’t have words for this. A comfort fic of mine for sure.
(1 chapter, 18,300 words, completed, M + TW + Explicit)
“ Kevin is so warm, and solid, and bright. He is Enjolras, Achilles; the blazing hero, self righteous and certain, and Aaron is just a lost companion stumbling in his wake, grateful to be in his presence.
When the fuck did he become a Kevin Day fanboy? Because fuck that. “
I Wanna Make You Move - sheerpoetry on ao3
It’s NOT just smut, okay? It’s not. There are feelings.
(6 chapters, 9,600 words, completed, M + TW + Explicit)
“ Kevin is drunk. Aaron is drunk. Andrew is oblivious.
(Kevin hits the dance floor after hitting the bottle. He finds Aaron, who actually doesn't mind his company.)
[Then neither of them wants to let it go and it's a journey for everyone.] “
Only Fools - Moth2Flame on ao3
Oh this is dark. But it gets better. Promise.
(1 chapter, 12,400 words, completed, M + TW + Explicit)
“ Aaron was just going along, minding his own business, content in his life and then... feelings.
Unwanted ones. Bad ones. Ones he shouldn't be having and ones he definitely shouldn't be having about Kevin fucking Day.
The thing is, Aaron's not particulary good when it comes to feelings.
In fact, he could almost give Andrew a run for his money when it comes to being self-destructive in his stubborn determination to deny them
Set post-canon, and AKA: Aaron is an angry prickly cactus and Kevin just wants to hug him (but with angst) “
(don’t matter what) people say - psychOmidget (cominupforair) on ao3
We all need therapy, especially Kevin and Aaron. 
( 1 chapter, 8,000 words, completed, M + TW)
“ Aaron knew he was bi.
He had long come to terms with it, but he believed that he could pretend he was straight as long as he kept dating girls.
But then Kevin happened. That’s where Aaron’s carefully constructed world really started crumbling. With him and Kevin kissing on his bed, legs tangled and hands roaming each other’s bodies. “
And so I’ll stop there, even if I got more suggestions... You know where to find me if your life lacks some Kevaaron again!

Thoughts on RNM 2x13
Howdy partners! Well here we are at the end of the season. Even though I didn’t have to work today and was able to watch last night, I needed time to process what happened. I also was very interested in all the diverging opinions last night and today over everything that happened with Malex. I am still smiling when I think about all that went down. (And I know I keep harping on this, but I am NOT a positive person outside of this show. Every time I talk about how hopeful I am to my two friends at work who are are fandom junkies, they are like Damn Dawnita, when’d you get so positive! But I digress.) All in all I was very pleased with this episode. And it sure as heck was loads better than last year’s finale. So without further ado, let’s dive in shall we!
Things I Liked:
 -Badass science goddess Liz saving the day! She’s amazing. I love her. And Isobel also being a badass containing the fire! That’s my girls!
 -Glad Charlie was rescued! At least Helena did something right.
 - Gregory Manes is bestest brother to ever brother and I would take a bullet for him. And even thought I really love Trevor St John and thought Jesse was a very compelling villain, I am glad Jesse’s dead. It was time for him to go. He was getting too comic book villain. 
 - Even though I have some issues with Max, I am glad he’s ok. I did not want to revisit the save Max at all costs storyline. 
 - Liz getting recognition for her brilliance is nice, But we know Diego shady, so.......
 - “Witch serum” made me snort. Also, Maria knows what’s what. I still maintain she’s feeling Michael’s leftover emotions from Alex’s kidnapping now that she’s not wearing the bracelet.
 - Well, it took several episodes, but Max finally was supportive of Isobel without making it all about himself. She is pretty amazing and it’s about time he told her.
 - Isobel acts all hard and tough, but she wants to find real love so badly!
 - They FINALLY faced their trauma from the tool shed! Michael handing Alex that hammer was so symbolic. Alex angry screams. God baby I wanna give you all the hugs!
 - Of course there was a dead body! Poor Tripp!
 - I am totally loving the brotp of Max and Cam. She gets so much joy dragging him. They make me laugh every time they are together.
 - I think the M!luca I love you’s were handled well. I’m not upset that she got an I love you before Alex. I mean haven’t we gotten these epic declarations from Malex over the last two seasons? I’ll take and I never look away, not really over a simple I love you any day of the week. And what’s so wrong with them actually loving each other? Maria KNOWS she’s not Michael’s cosmic love. She realizes that, yes, Michael would have risked his life to save her. But I think he would have gone to the others first and not just dropped everything to save her. And it’s not a bad thing to love someone but know that in the long run they are not the one you’re supposed to spend your life with. I have an ex-boyfriend that I still think is one of the finest people I’ve ever met and I love him dearly. But we just weren’t meant for the long haul. I think this is what Michael and Maria will be to each other.  (Ok, enough of that.)
 - Tripp and Nora (sigh!) I just love their romance. The fact that Tripp used the word cosmic just melted my heart. And the Malex look when Alex read that. I just died a little. Such a beautiful parallel. 
- Drunk acting Jenna is perfection. And she’s right! Women should tell other women when they’re beautiful!
 - So what’s wrong with Max’s heart? I want to see that x-ray Kyle. 
 - I like that Isobel ships Tripp and Nora. Same girl. Tell me more boys.
 -”Can we all cowboy up and focus please?” I love it when Isobel sasses. She’s the best. And can we have more bro moments between Max and Michael please? It’s some of the few times Max doesn’t get on my nerves.
 -How many times are the Manes/Truman couples going to break my heart? Tripp had to leave her. (SOB) He doesn’t a family without her! 
 -I really want to know about the date June 14, 1997. Why will they be safer 50 years from then? 
 -Loved the Jenna/Charlie reunion. Glad Charlie decided to stick around. 
 - This Echo fight has been too long coming. They have held things back from each other every single time they had any kind of conflict. It was bound to boil over. And they are both right. Liz was taking things too far. Max makes decisions without consulting anyone else. They both needed to be called out on their behaviors.
 - I adore the sisters Ortecho. I would watch a whole show just about Liz and Rosa. (With plenty of Arturo moments.)
 - Finally some Kylex! It was flawless. It gave us hope for Flint’s redemption and acknowledged how Alex has forgiven Kyle. In Alex’s mind, if Kyle can change, then anyone can. Give me more of them in season 3 please and thank you.
- Alex’s song! It just gutted me. Tyler is so incredibly talented. And the look on Michael’s face when he realized it was Alex singing. Then when Alex saw Michael. These two goobers! Ugh! (Ok I’m going to delve into more of this at the end.  I have a lot to say.)
 - Rosa telling Helena loves her but she needs to leave them alone was beautiful. This is Rosa growing up. She’s not the angry teenager anymore.
 - “We are sick of being pissed at you for being obnoxiously yourself.” Same Michael, same.
 - I’m not sure if I like or don’t like Max 1.0. Although I will be obnoxiously saying Howdy partner from now on. And I want to know about him being the stowaway. (Hey, we got an answer to something!)
Things I Didn’t Like:
 - Gotta say I didn’t enjoy Crash Con. Glad it was over and done with quick.
 - So did anyone wonder what was actually wrong with Maria at the hospital? Michael said she had surgery, but for what? I’m assuming it was for internal bleeding, but most people don’t just spontaneously start bleeding internally. 
 - Of course Jesse gets to die a hero. But who covered it up? Was it Alex? Is there someone else involved int PS that we don’t know about yet?
 - Diego, you are just shady and I don’t like you. I was rooting for you too. Shame.
- Is it bad that I really don’t care about Steph? It is? Guess I’m resigned to just being bad. Cause I just don’t care. Congratulations you didn’t die. 
 - Max! You couldn’t have just taken everything, or called Liz or even Alex? Wrong move dude. Seriously dude.
 - That’s the building you blew up? I am not impressed. That was a waste of f/x.
 - No romantic gesture from Max to try to get Liz to stay. Just goes to show how off the deep end Max really is at this point. 
 - The stowaway’s beard upsets me. 
Malex:
 Ok here’s where I’m going to dive into the deep end of my Malex feels. First of all, I did not take Alex performing as his big love declaration. He didn’t tell most people that he was going to sing. Even Kyle didn’t know. He had no idea that Michael was going to walk in at that moment. And since it’s been at least a week, maybe more, since Crash Con, I think Alex and Forrest were already seeing each other casually. Obviously, since Forrest at least knew he was singing, they have had some kind of contact. And Michael’s reaction was probably the most Michael thing he’s done all season. Michael sacrifices himself for other people’s happiness. When he looked over and saw the besotted look on Forrest’s face, he knew that Forrest could give Alex something in that moment that Michael couldn’t. Stability. Michael is just now realizing that he can’t blame all of their problems on Alex walking away or the despicable acts of the Manes family. He knows that if he’s going to good for the one person in this world that he wants to be good for, then he’s going to have to work to get there. He can’t hide in his relationship with Maria anymore. He has no choice but to face his problems head on and change for the better. I’ve seen so many people upset that they didn’t have a conversation after the song, but did they need to? They have hashed this out over and over again almost every episode this season. Despite talking in past tense, they know how much they love each other. Michael built a bomb that would kill himself and every alien on the planet just to save Alex. Alex wrote and performed a freaking love song about Michael. Michael knows that he has to deal with his traumas before he can be with Alex. But for the first time in forever he’s confident that they will find their way back to each other. And he would be a complete hypocrite if he asked Alex to wait for him and not get involved with Forrest. Michael wasn’t exactly celibate during the lost years. Also, I don’t think we’re going to get the big love triangle that we got this season. I don’t think Forrest and Alex are going to be a super heavy romance. As far as we know Forrest isn’t looking to lose himself in a relationship like Michael and frankly Maria were. So I’m not worried about them at all. And with a big time jump to deal with Covid-19, they can even have the relationship end organically. Alex could get deployed somewhere and they realize that they are better off as friend. Then Alex can come back and Michael will have worked on being a better person and they can start over again. And it will be glorious, because once those two work it out, that’s it. They are going straight into domestic bliss. They might even start a little dad band!
So that’s all I’ve got for now. I have many more thoughts, but this is probably the longest review yet, so I will be back with more theories and such at a later date. I am planning on a little project for the lengthy hiatus where I write my thoughts on each individual character. Some will be short because they are minor characters without much backstory. Some will be huge and no one will finish it because Dawnita says way too much about certain things! But until then, I hope you all stay safe and healthy. Till later my lovlies!

GOT: The exhausting march towards the dramatic TWIST
I think I’m going to shock people with this statement but ... out of all the season 8 episodes we’ve seen so far, episode 4 is by far my favorite. 
Now don’t get too excited by the seemingly warm tone ... what I mean by favorite is that I hated it less than episode 1 through 3, which is about as high a praise as I’m likely going to have for this debacle that is season 8. 
General impressions:
There are two reasons why I felt this episode was better than the last 3: 
1. It was more focused, with 3 clear storylines: D*ny’s war for the crown (story A), Jon’s and his family continuing to be dead inside (story B), Jaime’s return to his sister-lover (story C). This kind of focus and definite structure should be a given. However GOT decided to go all yolo on our asses this season and as we’ve already covered in my other reviews, it’s gotten to the point where I’m genuinely shocked to see an episode that doesn’t jump from plot point to plot point like an enraged orangutan on ecstasy. 
2. It was centered around this woman: 
Tumblr media
Look at that face... Holy Shit! She’s going to give me nightmares!
Now, normally an episodes focused on D*ny would be bad news for me because I don’t particularly care for her, as half of my list of metas can conclusively prove. 
However, since she’s the only character whose POV isn’t hidden and her scenes aren’t cut short or drained of any and all possibility of actual human emotion, she’s become the only character that I can watch without feeling frustrated, confused or on the verge of an anxiety attack. I actually like to know what the hell is happening on screen and what the character wants in any given scene. Call it a pet peeve of mine. 
Although even D*ny, as well rounded a character as she is, suffers from the Ds oscillating trend this season. Last episode, D*ny stood her ground against the NK, committed herself and her armies to the defense of the realm and saved Jon’s life. This episode, she’s back in full Mad King’s daughter mode, with a pinch of Viserys on the side. 
But that’s a quibble, honestly and you can always argue that Jorah’s death really pushed D*ny into a dark place in which the crown of Westeros and her war against Cersei becomes more important than her own humanity. 
However, what isn’t a quibble is that death seems to have become a shorthand device the Ds employ to signal D*ny’s eventual rise as Queen of the Ashes. She loses Jorah in episode 3 and by the end of episode 4, she loses both Rhaegal and Missandei as well, leaving her in a seeming cliffhanger over whether or not to put the Red Keep to the torch as revenge. 
The problem is that D*ny had been chopping at the bit to burn down King’s Landing since season 7 when she had to be talked out of doing just that TWICE. This episode Tyrion once again has to put the breaks on D*ny’s fiery fantasies. 
youtube
This scene right here is a treasure trove of Mad D*ny clues. But let’s focus on two of them. Firstly, the impetuous to burn KL is stil there: 
D*ny: We will hit her hard. We will rip her out root and stem. 
Tyrion: The objective here is to remove Cersei without destroying King’s Landing. 
Tumblr media
That is not a happy face ...
As D*ny put’s it, they need the capital because otherwise Cersei can continue calling herself the queen of the 7 kingdoms. 
That’s D*ny’s priority, folks: the acquiring of that stupid title. 
And if she has to march her weakened army, her sick dragon/child for thousands of miles and burn thousands of innocent people to get that title, she’ll do it. 
Considering this set-up, why exactly did we need Missandei and Rahegal to die? One day into Tyrion’s proposed blockade and D*ny would be roasting giant marshmallows in the Red Keep gardens. 
In my opinion,  the reasons for killing Rhaegal and Missandei are not tied to the dark!dany arc at all. Instead, Rhaegal gets killed because they want to make the D*ny/Cersei conflict as even as possible so they’re eliminating one of D*ny’s weapons of mass destruction. 
And Missandei ... poor Missandei gets killed in order to shock the audience. There is absolutely no reason to kill her in this way ... If she was to die, the time for that would have been in episode 3. They have to actually push the suspension of disbelief in order to convince the audience that somehow Euron got a hold of this girl from an armada of wrecked ships, instantly knew how important she was, dragged her back to the Red Keep and then brought her up on that wall expecting .... what??! 
Euron and Cersei are far too smart to believe D*ny will give up her war for Missandei so why kill her so publicly? To intimidate D*ny? They didn’t need Missandei for that. They could have just as well beheaded all of the hostages they took from the ships. 
They kill Missandei because that’s the easiest way for the Ds to surprise the audience and for them to garner some sort of sympathy for D*ny when she eventually does end up going all Pablo Escobar on a city filled with a million people. 
The other glaring Mad D*ny moment in the scene and one that plays straight into political Jon, is this: 
Sansa: The men we have left are exhausted. Many of them are wounded. They will fight better if they have time to rest and recuperate. 
D*ny: How long do you suggest? 
Sansa: Can’t say for certain. Not without talking to the officers. 
D*ny: I came North to fight alongside you. At great cost to my armies and myself. And now that the time has come to reciprocate, you want to postpone?
Tumblr media
Jon: The Northern forces will honor their promises and their allegiance to the queen of the 7 kingdoms. What you command, we will obey. 
I’ve seen a lot of people being angry at Jon for “taking D*ny’s side” in this conflict but in order to understand how this plays into political Jon, there are 2 things you need to keep in mind: 
The first is exactly when Sansa intervenes in the conversation. She steps in directly after both Tyrion and Jon manage to convince D*ny not to burn down King’s Landing. D*ny reluctantly agrees to the blockade because that would mean having to wait to take the crown and as she puts it: 
D*ny: The longer I leave my enemies alone, the stronger they become.  
Now Sansa wants to delay her even further. This is not acceptable to D*ny. 
In addition to that, I don’t think Sansa appreciates just how dangerous and volatile D*ny is. She doesn’t know about the men being fed to dragons, or the 163 crucified masters or how close she was to jumping on a dragon and burning down KL in the past. 
Jon, however, does understand D*ny quite well by this point. I don’t buy his speech as him agreeing with D*ny at all in this scene and considering this is the face he puts on to silence Sansa: 
Tumblr media
I’d say this is a guy desperately trying to keep a bomb from exploding directly in the face of someone he cares very deeply about. 
Narratively, I believe this is supported by the Sansa/Tyrion scene later on when Sansa is surprised to realize that Tyrion is actually afraid of D*ny. She simply hadn’t considered that people are scared of what D*ny might do. 
As interesting as D*ny’s descent into madness is (despite Missandei’s useless death), it’s counterbalanced by the shit show that continues to be Jon Snow. 
Watching Jon’s arc this season, and by extension all the Starks, is like banging your head against a concrete wall over and over again, without making a dent. It’s pointless, exhausting and painful. 
At this point I don’t care if he’s in love with D*ny or Sansa, if he’s pol!Jon or idiot!Jon, if he wants to be king or fuck off beyond the wall. I genuinely don’t care anymore. What I do care about is being given access to Jon’s story enough to figure out what the hell he wants and what he’s doing. 
It’s one thing to keep a character’s POV hidden for an episode but we’re going on almost 2 seasons now. And Jon isn’t a secondary character like Littlefinger where you can get away with hiding the POV because he’s not as big a part of the plot as a main character is. 
But Jon is a main character and this effort to keep him enigmatic and mysterious isn’t only wreaking havoc on his arc but it’s also affecting the rest of the Stark family. Case and point: 
youtube
In case anyone is keeping score, this is actually the first and only scene all the Starks have together in 4 episodes, amounting to 5 hours of footage. 
And just look where they decide to end this scene! Right when we’re going to see Arya and Sansa react to the parentage reveal and see what they and Jon discuss next. They gave us the mere bones of this scene and left us without the meat. 
The important part of the scene, the emotional underbelly, the opportunity to see these people come together and support and embrace Jon as the Stark they still think he is, is taken away from us. Because that would chip away at the mystery surrounding Jon’s arc this season. 
I’d argue depriving Jon and the Starks of the emotional bond they share is way too steep a price to pay for what is essentially a cheap thirll that becomes cheaper and cheaper by the minute considering they’re delaying whatever reveal they’re planning on making past the point of me giving a shit!
This episode did, however, give me the perfect visual way of describing Jon’s storyline right now. Jon is basically stuck between: 
Tumblr media
and 
Tumblr media
and he chooses neither. 
He sends Ghost away (without patting him because having KH and the wolf in the same frame would be too costly for the overly expensive GOT) and refuses to ride Rhaegal because ... reasons. 
So instead of seeing him choose between being a direwolf and a dragon, we’re seeing him do nothing, while looking overly enigmatically blank for 5 hours straight. I just .... I’m sooooo tired of this. Can this be over now?
PS: I’d discuss Jaime’s storyline this episode but I don’t want to say: I told you so ... Well ... ok, if you insist:
a little sour milk dribble on Tormund’s beard and a silly giant story isn’t going to make me forget that Jaime has arrived in Winterfell on the coat tails of a 20+ year toxic relationship with a woman who is not only his twin sister but is also currently pregnant with his baby.
Also:
Jaime: She (Cersei) has always been good at using the truth to tell lies. Don’t be too hard on yourself. She’s fooled me more than anybody.
Tyrion: She never fooled you. You always knew exactly what she was. And you loved her anyway.
Yeah …  Imagine entering a relationship with a guy exiting THAT. Dealing with sour milk beard is mild by comparison.

Favorite scenes
The “If you love me, you’ll erase yourself” scene: 
youtube
There is something so deeply disturbing about this scene that I can’t help but be fascinated by it. The J0nereys relationship has always been toxic and this scene right here encapsulates just why: 
In order to be with D*ny, Jon needs to give up everything that makes him who he is. In season 7, he was forced to bend the knee and suffer the ire of the entire North for it. Now D*ny is asking him not only to give up his claim but also lie about who he is and separate himself from his family in order to make sure that D*ny gets to be queen. 
No one, not one person in this world, no matter how beautiful, rich, good in bed or seemingly in love with you, is worth you giving up who you are and removing yourself from your family (provided said family is not toxic, of course). And anyone that would ask you to do that, should be dumped on their asses pronto.
Jon can’t do that, unfortunately. Because he’s brought D*ny here to fight “his war” and pretended to be in love with her. And also because D*ny simply isn’t rational anymore. So he’s stuck apologizing for people liking him (just think about that!) and having to put up with her saying things like: 
D*ny: It doesn’t matter what you want! You didn’t want to be king in the North! What happens when they demand you press your claim and TAKE WHAT IS MINE? 
Except the crown isn’t D*ny’s. It never was. Logistically speaking, the crown belongs to Cersei right now. Legitimately, the crown is Jon’s. It’s D*ny that is actually taking what is his, not the other way around. Imagine making someone apologize for you doing that to them. That’s all kinds of messed up. 
Speaking of which: 
Jon: You are my queen! I don’t know what else I can say!
D*ny: You can say nothing! To anyone! Ever! Never tell them who you really are. Swear your brother and Samwell Tarly to secrecy and tell no one else!
You know what she sounds like? Like Tangled’s Mother Gothel convincing Rapunzel that she’s better off being her prisoner. 
Tumblr media
Yikes! She’s genuinely terrifying!
Also: 
D*ny: Sansa will want to see me gone and you on the Iron Throne. 
Jon: She won’t. 
D*ny: She’s not the girl you grew up with. Not after what she’s seen. Not after what they’ve done to her. 
2 things: 
1. I hope every D*ny stan in the universe either denounces D*ny for victim blaming or closes their mouths about feminism, misogyny and pitting women against women for the rest of time. If you support this woman and consider her a positive role model, you are not allowed to discuss these subjects in public ever again. 
2. Can you really blame Jon for taking D*ny’s side against Sansa in the council meeting? He already knows just what D*ny thinks of Sansa and what she’d like to do to her if she is given the opportunity. Hurting Sansa’s feelings is preferable to her losing her life. 
The “This better not be unrequited love, Ds!” scene: 
youtube
This face right here ... this face: 
Tumblr media
It’s heartbreaking. And what really angers me about this scene is that it could have been all the more meaningful had the parentage reveal been played in full. Actually seeing Sansa reacting, hearing Jon’s fears or his anguish, would make her fighting for his crown when he refuses to do so even more powerful and romantically charged. 
Still, this scene comes in direct contrast to the Jon/D*ny scene. While D*ny wants to force Jon to live a lie for the rest of his life, to humble himself and make himself small so she can have all the power and the love of the people, Sansa not only shoots down the possibility of her being the only one in charge of the North and holding steadfast to the idea that Jon will stay in Winterfell. She goes as far as tell Tyrion Jon is the rightful heir when she realizes that despite his supposed loyalty to D*ny, Tyrion is actually afraid of her. 
She sees an opening to ensure Jon’s freedom and she takes it without hesitation. 
If, at the end of all of this, Jon ends up going beyond the wall instead of staying with a woman who loves and values him this much, then Westeros truly is a cruel and horrible place and I’ll be sorry I invested so many years of my life to it.
Episode MVPs
Euron “Best General in fucking Westeros” Greyjoy: 
Tumblr media
Euron gets to be MVP this episode because in one fell swoop he destroyed D*ny’s fleet and brought down one of her dragons. What can I say ... Competency really turns me on. 
Too bad Cersei doesn’t love him. If these two actually cared about each other, they could be the McBeths of Westeros. Nothing could stand in their way!
Lord “What an Icon!” Varys: 
Tumblr media
What can one say about this glorious man? He is MVP for the second time in 4 reviews and somehow I think he’s not done yet. 
Varys and Tyrion got down to some realpolitick this episode. But Varys had some truly outstanding lines, like: 
Varys: How many others know? 
Tyrion: Including us? Eight. 
Varys: Well, then it’s not a secret anymore. It’s information. If a handful of people know now, hundreds will know soon. 
It’s so rare to find a man that understands gossip so well!
Varys: I’ve served tyrants all my life. They all talk about destiny. 
As a person born under a communist regime, I concur, Varys. 
And my personal favorite:  
Varys: You know where my loyalty stands. You know I will never betray the realm. 
Tyrion: What is the realm? A vast continent, home to millions of people, most of whom don’t care who sits on the Iron Throne. 
Varys: Millions of people, many of whom will die if the wrong person sits on that throne. We don’t know their names but they’re just as real as you and I. They deserve to live. They deserve food for their children. I will act in their interests, no matter the personal cost. 
Tumblr media
If this show doesn’t end with a 7 foot, cockless statue of Varys presiding over the whole of Westeros as the ICON that he is, what was even the point?!?!?

You’ll Get Yours
Please leave a comment on Ao3 if you like it!
Thanks to @spiky-lesbian and @minky-for-short
Molly is now the proud owner of Summer's Dance. And the person who gave it to him deserves a reward.
--------
Molly wasn’t used to holding himself still but he made an effort now.
So much of his life so far, what little of it there had been, had depended on his knowledge of other people, his ability to know them quickly and make predictions about their behaviour. In fairness, this was hardly a life or death situation, there was very little at stake from his point of view. A bit of embarrassment, maybe. Having to eat a fair amount of crow for Yasha.
The tension he felt as he held very still under the thin, slightly damp covers was for someone else. That was something relatively new to Mollymauk; having a dry mouth and rapid heartbeat on account of someone else’s feelings.
He tried not to think about what that might mean.
His ears picked up, hearing footsteps passing the door to his room. Hard footsteps, almost angry but with a quality that suggested they could quickly become silent if they needed to. Beau. Not long after, lighter ones with a gait to them almost like skipping. Jester. Scrabbling ones, skittish and rapid. Nott. Molly listened carefully, hoping in silence. And finally, all three sets fell silent at the same time, muffled behind a creaking door not too far away. Yasha’s most familiar footfalls came soon after, going the other way down the hall.
Molly grinned. He didn’t know what Caleb had said to Nott, to get her to room with the girls. He’d thrown him a quick, exasperated look across the table when he’d grabbed the ‘feeling sick and needing to go lie down’ excuse first. That was Caleb’s go to. But Molly felt this whole thing would soon become less fun if they didn’t challenge themselves.
Soon there came heavy footfalls, easy and rolling. Fjord. This bit would be slightly tricky but Molly felt some confidence. Fjord seemed to have taken their trip into the swamp harder than the others, likely something to do with the gemstone eye.
Something about that whole episode worried Molly, a feeling he was certain the others shared. But that would have to come later.
Molly stayed with the covers pulled high over his head, as the door to their room creaked in protest at being opened. Fjord’s breathing seemed a little heavy as he moved around a little, tossing armour to the floor with a leather and metal thump, hanging his sword up on the wall. It wasn’t long before there came the heavy material sigh of him nearly collapsing into bed.
A little more anxiousness for his roommate plucked at Molly but he waved it away. Now wasn’t the time.
While he was waiting for Fjord’s snores- Molly held a lot of pity for whoever had to share close quarters with him on that ship of his- there came the last set of footsteps he’d been waiting for.
They were quiet, like everything else about him, trying hard not to be noticed. As quiet as the four other little feet that followed on his heels, along with the sound of a fluffy tail sweeping the dusty boards.
It may have been Molly’s imagination, but he couldn’t help but notice the slight hesitation in those footsteps outside his door. Just one missed beat. Almost as if Caleb was hesitating, looking towards their room, before moving on to his own.
Thinking about him? Wanting him, enough to resent even the short amount of time between this moment and the one where Molly would steal into his sheets?
He bit his lip under his nest of covers. He didn’t know what he was supposed to want.
Eventually, that hacking snoring he’d actually come to find kind of comforting started up from the bed across the room. Molly counted another two minutes, feeling them stretch on for a minor eternity, before he felt safe enough to carefully fold back his blanket and stand. Nothing from the lump of scratchy wool in the other bed. He’d mapped out where the noisy floorboards were on his way in and knew how to step lightly and avoid them.
Still, he didn’t relax until the door softly closed and the sound of Fjord sleeping was dampened to nothing. Molly allowed himself a triumphant little smile then, happy to know his talent for sneaking out to go meet lovers wasn’t diminishing with time.
He counted the doors on his fingers as he quickly crossed the corridor, making doubly sure he was about to open the right one. He’d have a lot of explaining to do if it wasn’t.
Molly checked that the belt around him was secure, that the magnificent golden scimitar rested just so against his bare leg, the metal cold enough on his naked skin to start getting him a little excited. He felt like a character in one of those trashy romances Jester was getting such a taste for. And, of course, he loved it.
After a soft rapping of his knuckles against the wood, Molly turned the knob and slipped inside. Immediately he felt the lovely prickle of Caleb’s eyes on him and when he turned, they were so satisfyingly wide, stunned and hungry.
“I said you’d be getting yours, Mr Caleb,” he purred, voice low and smoky, “Ready to have it?”
“Fucking hell,” came the raspy reply, the accent heavy in his sleepy, distracted state.
“Looks good, doesn’t it?” Molly let the gorgeous golden sword swing at his side as he steps languidly towards him, aware of some other things swinging too. He prayed it looked sexy rather than ridiculous, “Thank you for it…”
“It just seemed meant for you, Molly,” Caleb’s cheeks turned bright red in that adorable way they always did and he shuffled under the blanket, the one Molly was itching to rip away and find him naked under.
“Ah, ah, ah,” Molly admonished, close enough to raise his leg on the bedpost and lean against it which, of course he did, “Don’t think you can so casually call me Mr Mollymauk and think that isn’t getting brought into our bedroom, love.”
A giggle burst out of Caleb, lighting up his face, “Okay. Mr Mollymauk.”
Yep. It still gave Molly the same wanting lurch in the very pit of his stomach, same as back in the cave.
“You look like a pirate,” Caleb was still giggling, looking like he didn’t quite know where to put himself with all of the energy inside him.
Molly grinned, his teeth flashing. He drew the sword in one hand, letting it flash and sing through the air before coming to rest at a very safe, playful distance from Caleb’s face.
“Oh? And who are you, the treasure I’ve come to carry off at swordpoint?” he murmured, eyes glowing like embers.
Caleb looked like he was going to struggle to form words until he managed to choke out, “I’d like that.”
Molly nodded, some curls falling artfully in his face, making sure to still show his teeth and keep up this character he’d stumbled into, “Then on your back. Legs up,” he let his smirk billow out, “Surrender.”
The noise Caleb made was heaven itself. It made the newly acquired Moonweaver symbol around his neck feel warmer than any metal had a right to.
The sword, the beautiful, wonderful sword, was cast aside with half a thought. Caleb’s thighs and what was between them proved much more interesting. Molly bent down between them, breath hot against skin which soon flushed accordingly, as if the red blush that spread there was actually his breath etched onto the inside of Caleb’s leg.
Sex with Caleb was always different, each and every time. Sometimes he would be tense and it would be Molly’s task to undo the knots inside him with his tongue, his hands, his cock. Sometimes he would be whimpery and wanting, unable to find words but showing in other ways how desperately he wanted to be made to come over and over until he was boneless and blissed. Sometimes he would giggle a lot as if amused by his own responsiveness, his body’s own hunger, utterly bemused.
Sometimes Molly would draw back and find Caleb crying. It had terrified him at first but when he’d asked if he should stop, Caleb had looked and sounded as if his heart might break if he did.
It was always different but every time Molly would get the strong sense that everything Caleb hid so carefully behind his deadpan voice, his guarded nature, even his enormous, patched coat, was all coming out in one desperate release.
And Molly would take it all ravenously. There was something so thrilling about seeing sides of Caleb that no one else did, like every time they fucked he was being given secrets along with the touches and tastes and screams. And Molly positively adored secrets.
Tonight, Caleb was unrestrained and noisy. Molly’s breath had barely kissed the skin between the base of his cock and his ass and already he was audibly keening, shaking all over.
“Easy,” Molly soothed, realising very quickly that his task tonight would be to relax him, give him a way to shut out everything clanging and jangling inside him, “I’m here, love, it’s alright. Just focus on right now, yes?”
Caleb gave a tight, rapid nod. He would get there.
Satisfied, Molly rested on his stomach and stroked Caleb’s leg with one hand, “Well, prepare to be boarded, Mr Caleb.”
That got a groaning laugh out of him, “Gods above, Mollymauk…”
Cackling at his own ridiculousness- his favourite pastime- Molly leaned in and lost himself. He ran his tongue in a broad stripe across Caleb’s perineum, tasting the heady muskiness of the wizard’s skin, a taste he’d so quickly become addicted to. He was rewarded with a whimper, a sound like Caleb was about to burst, so he saw no reason to wait. His mouth wandered down, to where he grew tighter, warmer, tongue pressing gently for entrance.
Shuddering and keening, Caleb yielded to him eagerly, allowing the tip of his tongue to press inside and seek out the bundle of nerves he knew would very quickly get them where they needed to go. As his mouth worked, Molly’s hands lightly skated up and down Caleb’s legs, anchoring him, keeping him in the here and now. Every so often, he’d let his nails bite in a little, just to feel him jump and hear him groan.
Soon, Caleb was utterly lost, riding Molly’s mouth in earnest, making the headboard thump rhythmically against the wall. The tempo picked up pace, gradually getting faster and more frantic, as the flush spread to Caleb’s chest and soon he was cursing in his own harsh language, muscles tensing for a new reason.
Molly knew how to read the signs, even as drunk as he was on Caleb’s body. And just before his wizard would be in real danger of tipping over the edge, he drew his tongue back and pulled away, panting.
Caleb positively howled, “Molly!” He threw himself into a sitting position, eyes wide and wet, pleading.
Molly laughed gently, “Come on, Caleb, it’s okay. I just want to switch it up is all. You’ll get yours, I promised, didn’t I?”
Caleb relaxed a little, “You promised…”
This was Caleb on the very edge, short sentences, repetition, a thicker accent.
“I did and I never let you down,” Molly nodded, horns jangling, “Now keep your voice down before Nott hears and thinks I’m murdering you.”
He didn’t think it was possible for Caleb to go redder than he already was but he was wrong.
Molly soothed him further with a lingering kiss while he lined their bodies up, now aware of his own need, so strong it was a shade away from painful. He could feel Caleb in a similar state, hard, hot muscle pressing against his lower belly. Kissing wasn’t something they’d done a lot of since they started sleeping together but whenever they did, Molly could never figure out why. Kissing Caleb was deliriously good, feeling his stubble scraping against his chin, his quickened pulse in his throat.
He would always remember why later, when he felt the pang, the one that accompanied the realisation that kissing was too close to something like a relationship. But in the moment, it was always so good.
Caleb always kept a vial of oil in one of his many pockets these days and he summoned it to his fingers from across the room with a mumbled word. It always amused Molly greatly, to see him using his brilliant, hard won magics just so he could get fucked faster. This one was teardrop shaped, wrought in red glass and the liquid inside smelled like spiced cherries when Molly yanked the stopper out with his teeth and let it drip onto his fingers. He’d never concerned himself much with how his lube actually smelled but he knew Caleb got hooked on certain scents, the same way he did with certain textures. Molly wondered if anyone else in the Nein knew that Caleb kept scraps of velvet or polished chunks of sea glass in his pockets, not for any spell work but just to hold when he felt nervous.
“Take it your good and ready for me?” Molly purred, running his slick fingers up and down his erection.
“Thanks to you,” Caleb murmured, voice husky and low and unbearably sexy.
Molly gave a light laugh and bent to kiss him again, just because he was a glutton for punishment. But then Caleb’s legs fell open and his hips moved just so and suddenly Molly was in him, sharing his body, and nothing else mattered. Not even the thorny truth that the more they kissed, the more it felt like they were playing at something else rather than living what they had.
“Mollymauk…” Caleb gasped. The way he said his name was darling, the way the first two syllables ran into each other and the whole thing softened.
“I’ve got you,” Molly whispered back against his lips, sending the words right down his throat, “It’s all yours.”
At those words, Caleb took it. His hips fell into an easy rhythm with the tiefling’s, their bodies knowing by now how to fit and work together. The rough heels of his feet pressed into the small of Molly’s back, urging him on, locking them together like neither could bare even an inch of space between them. Molly sucked hard at Caleb’s neck in answer to every moan and whimper he was given, leaving marks he knew would be covered by the high collar of his coat but would prickle all day tomorrow and leave Caleb thinking of him.
Soon there was so much slick between them that Molly had to fight to keep on top of things, bracing his hands either side of Caleb’s head, panting heavily. Caleb’s cries grew more ragged and desperate, wavering with the force Molly was slamming into him with. All the taut, wiry muscle he used to whirl his swords fast enough to cut the air itself was focused utterly on hitting that sweet spot inside of him.
“Molly,” Caleb’s voice cracked, “I’m gonna…”
“It’s yours, love, it’s yours to take,” Molly gasped back, going slow but deep now. He drew back enough to watch Caleb’s face, wanting to memorise every flicker of muscle.
He finally came, from nothing but the pressure inside him, with a throaty groan and an expression of hard won bliss on his face. Molly was so lost in Caleb, his own orgasm gripped him and he cried out in shock more than anything. And in the last second, it became Caleb’s name.
That hadn’t happened before.
Caleb was in pieces beneath him but Molly helped him get back together, kissing his cheeks, his nose, his chest, picking up his hands and kissing every one of his knuckles.
“Look who's back,” he laughed raspily as he saw awareness dawn in those harsh blue eyes.
“Ja,” Caleb laughed back, sitting up a little and moving back so Molly could pull out, “That was pretty amazing.”
“Well, it was a pretty amazing sword,” Molly smirked, hoping that would take the edge off him saying Caleb’s name. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do with that yet.
It made his wizard laugh in any case, only making him look even more gorgeous in the rumbled, tumbled way he always looked after they fucked. Molly found himself laughing too, giving him more kisses. Each one a low grade bad idea.
While Caleb came back to himself, Molly stood completely naked in the middle of the room and practised with the sword, testing the weight of it, watching how the light played off it when he swung it. The gold wouldn’t hold up much in a fight but it was a gorgeous decorative piece.
“Summer’s Dance,” Caleb murmured, watching from the pillows, “It’s a lovely name.”
Molly nodded, holding the name in his mind. He thought of summer. He thought of warm nights, sleeping on top of his circus caravan with Yasha. He thought of the taste of that cherry wine he could only find in summer. He thought about the hot days, where Caleb would shrug off his coat when he thought no one was looking, rolling his shirt sleeves up to his elbows. When his long hair would stick to his forehead and he’d wipe it away, tuck it behind his ears and look so beautiful doing the simplest things. When he’d lie back and look at the stars and once, when Molly asked, he told him all of the constellations, so clear and bright in the darkness of the summer night.
“It is a lovely name.”

Why I stopped liking Misha after eight years.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I loved all the guys at one point.  I don't stan anyone.  Some people may think I am crazy about J2 only.  Well, yeah.  I loved everyone, once upon a time, until they gave me a reason to hate them.  Now only the Js are left and despite being flawed [like every human being on earth] they are still decent human beings.  They are not manipulators or provocateurs.  They are just flawed.  So my admiration has gone back to season 1 to 3, when it was just J2 and they were enough.  With some side order of John.  I like all the Winchester boys, but not blindly.  Even if one of my boys do something wrong, I will acknowledge it.  I wont ignore it, or make excuses for it.  Nor will I dog him down for it.  Unless he is a repeat offender, like Misha.  Misha is not one of my boys.  He is barely a man.   
Before I started to really hate Misha, I had a soft spot for him.  I didn't ship him.  I don't ship.  I mix and match according to my mood.  That is how classic slashers used to do it.  Because pinning your happiness on one ship, when the are a bevy of beauties out there, is a silly thing to do.  I was going to write an epic story for Jared and Matt, where Misha was going to play a pivotal role as Matt's brother because I always felt Matt and Misha had similar fraternal features.  It was going to be an epic.  I was also going to do a suspense-ish story with Jared and Misha, where the epilogue was going to be Misha brutally killing an old woman, but he was the hero of the story.  That story was actually close to my heart.  Unfortunately I got sick, and didn't write anything for years, which is a good thing because I would have regretted wasting such a nice story on that leech. 
I was going to write a Cockles story about two years ago, with Jared, JDM, Gil McKinney and Tahmoh playing supporting roles.  I am meh! about destiel, but never begrudged others who liked it.  Hey, different strokes right?  Its all fantasy anyway.  Or so I thought.   I heard some canon talk on YouTube, here and there, and thought that ''this girl doesn't understand slash''.  How was I to know the majority of them don't understand slash.  Then the hellers started to really misbehave in YouTube comment sections, on Twitter and at cons.  You had to blind not to notice it.  And I was shocked.  I said, ''I wish I could meet Misha.  I will tell him about these fans.  They are giving him such a horrible name.''  I liked him and thought he would make everything better.  How stupid I was. 
Then I realized that everyone else is a either a jerk or leeching off J2's fame.  I realized that Speight was a Trump supporter and that put me off.  Misha blurted it out on a panel and Richard looked angry about it.  Its the first and last time I appreciated Misha having a big mouth.  At that time though, I still liked Misha.  I realized Matt was following a heller on SM, who was bashing Jared continuously, so he can get lost.  Osric was nice and I paired him with Jared mostly, because the big and small thing does something to me.  Sevin was my jam.  This was my honest thoughts when I encountered Kevin zig-zagging and outrunning Sam "Oh, let this cutie be Sam's pairing.  Poor Sammy is so left out because of destiel.  At least now he will have his own stinking cute pairing''.  Not even knowing how I was going to come to regret supporting destiel.  
I felt sorry for Misha, because he was poor and lived on handouts.  I remember him saying that Random Acts was inspired by a woman who bought gifts for him, his brother and mom on Christmas Eve when he was very little.  I felt sad that he cut himself, because he was a bullied teen.  I was furious when he got mugged.  I wanted those pigs caught.  ''Ok, fine, steal his stuff, but there was no need to hit him''.  In other words, I believed everything he said.  I was a sucker.  And I was livid when I realized that he played me and all his other fans. 
The first thing he did, which I didn't like, was bashing the Bible.  I am a Muslim and found that very offensive.  That made me think back on that lady who showed him kindness as a child.  Why would he bash her beliefs when she was so nice to him?  But I thought, first time offence, and let it go.  Then I realized that he was too provocative on stage.  Whether it was swearing or talking abut sex, he didn't care whether children were in the room or not.  I am fairly sure he curbed his language when West was on stage with him.  I cant remember though.  When it came to slash, I was always baffled at why he was talking about it at cons.  As far as I knew, slash-related questions were banned.  Later I realized it was because he was breaking the rules, which was essentially making Jensen look bad. 
Once there was a heartfelt complaint from a minion that fans were asking Misha very sexual questions in a panel.  I was angry.  Why are fans being vulgar with an actor?  He's not your boyfriend.  Later, when I checked for myself, I realized he was being provocative too.  He also made some blasphemous remarks.  Later he complained to one of the handlers ''I didn't know where to draw the line''.  I forced myself to give him the benefit of the doubt even though, that incident stayed with me for all these years.  So he creates the environment that he is complaining about, to make himself look like a victim.  Well sow it and reap it, hypocrite. 
Jaxcon 2017 is where I started to pay attention to Misha and his hellers, and Jibcon was where my mind are fairly made up.  It was only when I looked into Travis Aaron Wade's case that I fully made up my mind, that Misha might be a shadier character than I thought.  Misha has said some very scandalous things about Jensen and Dean followed by ''oh, I am going to get a phone call about this.  I just know it''.  If you have been told not to do something, then why do it?  It was Jensen's death threat that made me really hate this guy.  When I first heard about it, I thought, ''Misha is going to give them a stiff kick for threatening Jensen''.  Months went by.  When Misha kept on pandering and pandering despite the abuse online, that is when I realized that this man is a manipulative, heartless creep who only thinks about himself.  I regret my Misha admiration and I feel a little ashamed that he suckered me.     
Edit:
A reader added this and it thoroughly surprised me:
Agreed on all, but one point I think is off and I’m almost certain I’ve heard that Mishas kids actually swear and he’s ok with it; jokes about it in his panels. I saw a clip once where J2 and MC are on stage and he talked about it and J2’s reactions were almost comical.
If anyone knows which panel that was, please let m know.  I want to see J2's reactions.  And what Misha said.

Thank you so much for making my day with these fics! I’ve been sick at home the past couple days and your stories always cheer me up! May I request 51 and 22 for the boys? I loved this show called firefly so I always look for space aus in fandoms.
51. Accidentally Married & 22. Space AU
Anon, I hope you feel better!  And let me tell you, I love Firefly!  When I started this, I was telling one of my friends that I really hoped someone would ask for a space AU because I would 100% go with a Firefly-style space cowboy AU.  So you have completely made my day by not only asking for number 22, but mentioning Firefly. ♥
All right, given this combination and the mention of Firefly, I feel like it’s natural that I go with an “accidental marriage” similar to the style of Mal and Saffron.  For those of you unfamiliar with Firefly, first of all, I highly recommend.  But essentially, the captain of the ship ends up married to Saffron, a girl who is posing as a local on the border planet where they are stopped, when he is drunk and he participates in what he does not know is a marriage ceremony.  Mal doesn’t accept her as his wife later on, and eventually he finds out she’s a con artist anyway, but that’s beside the point.
I’d go with a bit of a different set up.  So, first of all, because I immediately ended up thinking way too hard about this, here’s who all is on the ship:  Midoriya is the captain, with Iida as his first mate.  The pilot is Uraraka, with Todoroki as the ship’s doctor and Momo in the engine room.  Bakugou’s presence is very much a Jayne-like character: he challenges Midoriya, and is mostly there for the fighting.  Kaminari and Kirishima are passengers.  Kirishima’s role would be similar to Shepherd Book—not as a preacher by any means, but merely as a bit of a peace keeper who ties everyone together.  And then throw in Tokoyami as a River-esque character—just think of his occasional comments that are a little disarming.  I mean, it fits, doesn’t it?
Also, I’m gonna call their ship the All Might.  Because Midoriya would.
Anyway.  Kirishima and Bakugou are definitely pining after each other and dancing around each other with their flirting, but never quite do anything about it.  Eventually, they end up on some border planet—basically, a planet where many people will take part in dirty dealings because they’re just far enough away from the Core and the Alliance.  This particular one is a small moon—it’s got a very small-town almost backwoods sort of feel.  The whole crew of the All Might are enjoying the festivities they have going on in town that night, and are enjoying the company of the friendly locals.  So of course, since they’re enjoying themselves, they do as the locals do.
In Kirishima and Bakugou’s case, this means accidentally participating in a ritual that is essentially a marriage ceremony.
The next morning is when some of the locals say things, congratulating the newlyweds.  Cue a very confused Kirishima and Bakugou, who have no idea what the hell is happening.  Then, probably Iida mentions something along the lines of, “Ah yes… now that I think about it, I do remember hearing about a certain ritual on border planets like this…”  Bakugou, of course, gets annoyed at him.  He yells at him, asking him why the fuck he wouldn’t have said something before, then, “so I wouldn’t have ended up in this fucking mess—”
The minute he’s said it, he knows it’s wrong.  He knows he said it in a way he didn’t intend.  Because suddenly Kirishima looks so hurt and Bakugou just knows that he’s fucked up.  Kirishima excuses himself and walks off, and Momo and Kaminari go after him.
Bakugou ends up sulking a bit before Uraraka tells him to stop being an idiot and say something to Kirishima.  Bakugou is, of course, torn between telling her he has no idea what the fuck she’s talking about and being impressed with how she stands up to him in times like this.  In the end, he decides to take her advice.
He basically forces his way into Kirishima’s bunk, despite any and all objections Kirishima makes.  He is already frustrated and angry with Bakugou, not to mention still hurt, but this time Bakugou’s not backing down.  And maybe they argue a bit about it first before Kirishima just finally, in the heat of the moment, asks him, “Is it really that terrible of an idea to be married to me?”
And Bakugou looks like Kirishima’s slapped him.  His eyes are wide and his lips are parted and he’s staring at Kirishima as if he did actually hit him—not necessarily angry, but in shock because, well, he hadn’t expected that question.  But then Kirishima is looking horrified that he’s said anything and he’s trying to backtrack, saying he didn’t mean it like that, but he’s stumbling over his words.  And Bakugou just... gets it.
So Bakugou’s response, of course, is to grab the front of Kirishima’s shirt and yank him forward so he can kiss him.  When they finally part, Bakugou still doesn’t let go.  Kirishima is staring at him, as though trying to figure out Bakugou’s intention.
Bakugou probably tells him that, no, it isn’t that the idea is terrible, but it just wasn’t how he imagined it.
Kirishima grins at this because, “You imagined it?”
It’s Bakugou’s turn to get flustered now, but Kirishima laughs and presses his hands against his shoulders.  He tells him that he cares about him.  And Bakugou presses a less desperate kiss to his mouth and tells him that he feels the same way.
Kirishima sighs and rests his forehead against Bakugou’s.  He smiles and points out that they’ve done this all out of order, that usually you don’t start out by getting married…  But that doesn’t matter.  They can’t change what’s happened, right?  So all that matters is where they go next.
And they’ll figure that out together.

ALL THE ODDS FOOOOOR- uh- Kiseki owo
Ask me about my oc~ (I’m willing to give a list of them if people want lol)Revenge, my dear? 1: Origins! How did you come up with the concept for your OC?Kiseki... Gosh. She was created originally to be a love interest for @gamerlux​‘s take on Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou KID from the DCMK series. Waaay back when I first got into trying to rp, which means her og concept is hella bad. HELLA. lol A high school girl with a crush on a mysterious phantom thief in a household that was terrible. And of course she’d get the guy because we were predictable high school children. She had so many paintings of KID. 
As more of our friends at the time became involved and we learned more about story telling (still not the best at story telling but ya know), she evolved and changed and then- as things happened and the story changed she became hard to work with. Honestly, probably unstable as a character who didn’t know how to move on so she got put to the side. As, pretty much my first oc I couldn’t just throw her to the side, ya know? So I kept her close and waited for a chance to make her into something great again. And it came in the form of needing a sort of adult/role model character and from there a joke about shipping and, well, the Kiseki that’s active now is one I feel very comfortable with. One I want to share with the world! If I could get past not really being one to talk about things lol. Maybe one day I’ll write her story. (please don’t hesitate to make me talk about her. she’s also pretty flexible! i could throw her just about any where). 
3: Has your OC gone through different incarnations during their stay on Tumblr? Were they reimagined or have they stayed the same all this time?She’s had two iterations on tumblr, though I don’t play either on tumblr because I can’t entirely handle it anymore. There was an attempt to bring a revamp younger Kiseki to a working thing but she ultimately didn’t get much attention outside of like, her bestie. Which is fine lol but it wasn’t working too well anyway. So once Kiseki made the character move to Momshine she got a tumblr. She’s pretty much stayed the same since she became Momshine. 5: Were you nervous about putting your OC out there? How long did it take before you decided to play your OC here on Tumblr.I totally was nervous, forever nervous honestly. And part of it is because I have tried putting my ocs out there before and they garnered no interest. Kiseki herself didn’t garner much interest either which reinforces my anxiety but that’s a whole other thing lol. It took some time after coming back from my first hiatus of my Shinichi muse to bring in the first attempt at a Kiseki tumblr to first broach her. And then Momshine!Kiseki as brought in after attempting to come back from a second hiatus of Shinichi muse. This time I tried to work her and Shinichi into a merged storyline for ease and an attempt to maybe make Shinichi stand out and garner interest once more but. *shrugs* Neither worked too well.7: What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?Considering the ages of most ocs in her main fandom... Friends aren’t a thing entirely? Cause like, who wants their teenaged characters to be friends with someone who’s old enough to be their mom. Ideally though... she.. Honestly she doesn’t know and I don’t even know lol. She’s too busy hiding from the criminal syndicate she was forced to grow up into to make friends. And she’s afraid of getting hurt through friendships again so... *shrugging noises* I guess, ideally, as long as no one tries to be too holier-than-thou or push their agendas on her? She’ll take drinking buddies I guess? Don’t pry too much either. She’s a Scorpio, if that says anything about her (and believe me, it does).9: What is your OC like when at work? Are they diligent? Slacker? Do they get along with their co-workers?LOADED FUCKING QUESTION MUCH??? God. Um. We don’t talk about her syndicate job, she’s presumed dead by them for the moment so. Currently in her hiding out life she owns a jewelry store called Pandora’s Box and.. it’s mostly her? Like it’s a tiny jewelry store so she doesn’t entirely need associates. But she would get along with co-workers because she can be a very friendly lady, but she’s also kind of a hard ass and it’s her rules sort of thing. When she worked for the syndicate, of which her dad was her boss (or grandfather depending on the parental verse), she was a very yes sir/no sir sort of woman who always asked how high when told to jump. She wasn’t really allowed to be a slacker because that usually ended with death. There was also a demand to get along well enough with her co-workers though she didn’t have to (and definitely did not with most of them) like them. It was kill or be killed (sometimes literally) so you do what you have to when it comes to your survival. 
11: Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?Tokyo Tower or a certain high rise where she first met a rival thief in her thieving days of young. Sometimes it’s the old theater where her greatest love lost his life. Mostly it’s at the Blue Parrot with a bottle of whiskey. 
13: Do they have any favourite foods? Would they eat it all the time if they had the chance? What do they hate to eat?Homemade ramen with pork cutlets. Usually she gets it from this ramen place not far from her apartment but she does like to make it herself on occasion. It’s just hard to cook when it’s only one person. She doesn’t have too much she doesn’t like to eat? She’s not overly fond of bitter things, in all honesty. 15: Does your OC have any awful fears? Do they get paralyzed with fear or can they work through their fears?She’s fearful of love, of letting people back into her heart. She can’t bear that sort of heartache again, nor can she stand the idea of losing them as she’d lost her greatest love. I think the only thing that really makes her stop in fear is her father? Even then, though, she more tends to get angry because of a history of abuse and the fact he had her mother killed. 17: Do they have any guilty pleasures? They embarrassed about them? Do they flaunt them?There is no such thing as a guilty pleasure when it comes to Kiseki. Life is too short to worry about feeling guilty about things that give her pleasure. YOU CAN PRY HER LACEY GARMENTS AND WHISKEY FROM HER COLD DEAD HANDS.19: Have they ever been injured? Sick? How do they deal with it?
Plenty to both of those. But in her previous line of work you suck it up and deal with it because you have a job to do. Unless the injury or illness is really bad, then there’s no point in working because you’re a hazard until you get better. But you just suck it up and deal and that’s what she’ll do to her dying day. 21: Name an embarrassing situation that your muse has been in.The entirety of her young crush on another syndicate member after she was pulled away from playing rival thief to her first love. She refuses to discuss any of it or acknowledge it was a thing. Don’t ask. 
23: Any ships for your OC?Kiseki x Happiness? But nah, I got like... two. Kiseki x Toichi/OG Kaitou KID and Kiseki x... @nightmarette‘s phantom thief oc who’s name escapes me because I’m fucking terrible. Kiseki has a thing for phantom thieves, okay? She has a type.
25: What are your plans for your muse in the future?
*shrugs* Keep doing things with Kiseki. Keep letting her live and enjoy life even if it’s... not the best? lol Nah, I mean she’s not dead so. She makes me suffer in return for her suffering so we’re pretty even here lol

Rokuhoudou 1 - 12 (REWATCH) | Fruits Basket 25 (FINAL) | Demon Slayer 25 - 26 (FINAL) | Mob Psycho 100 II OVA | Cop Craft 11 - 12 (FINAL) | Dr Stone 11 | Ahiru no Sora 1 | Shinchou Yuusha 1
New anime of the season, here we go!
Rokuhoudou 1 (REWATCH)
I’m doing a new project where I rewatch some of my favourites to test their integrity in that regard. Here’s the first show - Rokuhoudou. So what I remember about Rokuhoudou is that it’s very simple – the guys make food and help people, occasionally there’s cats – and that was enough to help me through a mental rough patch I was going through at the original time of airing.
Being sick and watching with a cinnamon roll really brings home the idea of Rokuhoudou as “comfort food for the eyes”…No, it’s not what you think. I’m eating a cinnamon roll.
I always assumed the title was translated to “Four-Coloured Daily Life at Rokuhoudou”, because that would be the best translation if the title was fully in kanji. It’s not though, so the hiragana-rendered parts could mean anything.
Rokuhoudou almost gives you this sensation of being spirited away by good food (and Good Boys).
Sui sometimes reminds me of Kunikida (BSD)…must be the glasses.
Gure’s such a tease, LOL.
Tokitaka’s so refined, yet also has the heart and patience to help old people, plant things and make pottery. I love him~!
“You don’t need to show appreciation with bodily functions!”
I only just noticed it…but Gure has a nice eye colour.
Oh…I just realised this since I now know Tokitaka grows the veg and herbs out back, but Tokitaka must’ve grown them.
Hmm…I was wondering why you’d need a spoon for chazuke, but then I realised it’s because of the soup…D’oh.
I wonder if Tokitaka also made the chopstick holders…
Update: The ikura reminds me of Hinamatsuri…
Rokuhoudou 2 (REWATCH)
(Sorry, I had a note, but I didn’t write it down fast enough so I don’t have any for this ep…)
Rokuhoudou 3 (REWATCH)
Tokitaka has a flower in his hair (during the pottery wheel scene)…cute~!
Rokuhoudou 4 (REWATCH)
“You need to chill out.” – More like “you need to calm down”, amirite??? (LOL)
Look at how badass my bois are!
Now that I’ve been seriously working on my customer service skills, I sort of get the ethic behind the Rokuhoudou workers in general.
Rokuhoudou 5 (REWATCH)
Oyaji ga Susumeru Café Iko! – “The Old Guy Recommends Cafes to Go To!”, literally speaking. However, it’s quite slang and seems to be hinting at the positive connotations of an oyaji (fondness, the sort you’d have for your dad), so I approve of the chosen translation “Daddy-o’s Café Go!”.
Oh yeah…this is the weird delusion from Isago, isn’t it? I still rmembr writing a blog post about it!
Why does Tokitaka look so evil in this one scene (where he’s helping Tsubaki), anyway?
Rokuhoudou 6 (REWATCH)
(no notes, sorry!)
Rokuhoudou 7 (REWATCH)
(no notes, sorry!)
Rokuhoudou 8 (REWATCH)
I love how Gure gets all fired up just to pedal a duck boat.
Is it just me, or does young!Gure look like he was designed by Rihito Takarai (creator of Ten Count)…?
I can’t believe this…my stomach grumbled in the middle of an espresso episode…
“Who else could it be for?” – The dog?...I’m kidding, man…don’t get so angry at me, dog lovers.
I think this might be the 2nd time I thought the kid was called “you” (2nd person pronoun), but his nam is “You” (given name).
Oh! I don’t think I noticed this special ED the first time around.
Update: Gure is a happy drunk, LOL. Also, Gure is half-Italian, with his father being Japanese. (see ep. 1 of original watch-through for corresponding notes)
Rokuhoudou 9 (REWATCH)
Is the land of love France or Italy…?
Shinchosha is real…in fact, they’re the ones who publish Rokuhoudou’s manga!
Oh, seriously, I ship it now! Isago x Hayashi, that is…and Sui x kittens.
Update: Somehow I only just ralised it…but the titular “Mont Blanc Boy” is Tsunozaki, even though technically the only boys we see in this episode are young! Kyousui and Yakyou.
Rokuhoudou 10 (REWATCH)
The Napolitan episode…this is where Astral’s post comes from.
I get the feeling this segment’s title is a shoutout to “You Don’t Know Gunma Yet”, which is in…Kurage Bunch, also by Shinchosha, if I’m remembering correctly.
Gure and Tsubaki are like children sometimes, I swear…
Kuromitsu = brown sugar. (It means “black sweetness”, literally translating and it used to confuse me so much that I want to mention it here.)
VAINO computer, eh?
Tokyo NX, LOL. (Parody of Tokyo MX, which has a lot of anime.)
Short-haired Tokitaka!
I think Koto(ko…?)’s words, in particular, were one of the best monologues in this series when it comes to relaxing by realising I wasn’t alone in my doubts of the world. “Can I make it to my dreams?” I was asking the first time I saw this and even though I haven’t achieved the dreams of past me, I just had to adjust my expectations, make some new dreams and keep on going.
Rokuhoudou 11 (REWATCH)
Good heck, Gendo-I mean, Kyousui. (re: finger tenting)
Also, there is one univeral truth about this show: don’t watch it on an empty stomach…I had to go get some food a few eps. back in this rewatch because my stomach grumbled…
When I thought of “something rich”, I thought of a pudding too. Maybe my memory is better than I thought, huh?
I thought there was something dirty on my screen…turns out it was just Gure’s beauty spot.
Rokuhoudou 12 (FINAL, REWATCH)
“I’ll wake you up, then.”
I learnt this from the manga, but Itou is the old tea vendor.
Gin-chan reminds me of the inventor Logicalist from Hina Logi.
Karamimochi. By the way, from earlier in the ep…ankoro mochi.
Neneko was meant to be into kimonos, wasn’t she…?
Nion (sic) camera, LOL.
Okay, that’s the end of my first rewatch. It’s a keeper!
Fruits Basket 25 (FINAL)
Shihan = shisho = instructor.
Notice the Jizo, protector of children.
“…didn’t have to block…”
LOL, Tohru’s shocked face going from Kyo to Yuki.
Ooh, Makoto Takei and Machi Kuragi…
Isuzu!!!
Okay, that’s the end of that. See you next time!
Demon Slayer 25
So the other butterfly mansion girls (aside from Aoi, Shinobu and Kanao) are called Naho, Kiyo and Sumi, huh?
Tanjiro is seemingly a freakin’ masochist right now to those girls…
Ooh, there’s a butterfly in a chrysalis on the title card!
It seems, based on the kanji for Tsuguko, the word literally means “inheritor”, “successor” or “one who makes [another person’s role flourish by being in it]”…Like a Legacy Character from TV Tropes. Also, “Tsuyuri” literally means “chestnut flowers fall”, if I understand the characters right.
Kanao does the Naruto run. She wants to see them aliens too!
“Putting in effort isn’t my thing.” – Now there’s a sentence after my own heart!
Why does Kanao not talk???
Kanao’s coin says “front” and “back” instad of heads and tails.
Hmm, hmm…very heterosexual reading of Kanao here. It almost makes me lose hope in the “gay Shinobu” department (not that I’m angry about that).
This guy with the hat…I swear he looks like a jellyfish…
Why do all the swordsmiths wear that mask???
There’s one thing I realised this episode…anime humour means I expect exaggerated reactions to a lot of things, such as Inosuke chipping his swords like that.
I remember being a bit annoying about the interchangeability between the translation of honoo as “fire” and “flame” when I was a Boueibu rookie...*sighs happily* good times.
Okayyyyyy…Tanjiro’s gone cuckoo…
Nezuko, Inosuke and Zenitsu, huh? There’s a combo I’ve never seen!
Mob Psycho 100 OVA
Isekai hot springs, LOL.
I think I can see Saitama’s bald head, LOL.
I think there might be CGI on this hot springs establishment…
This is Reigen, king of bulls*%$, everyone!
Nanbanzuke.
“[P]air of plumbers”, eh…?
Ooh, 8-bit graphics! Remember season 2’s early scenes? That 8-bit one was good.
Dude, Reigen…just leave the train already…then you’ll get out.
LOL, “Mobpis”...Mobpis 100, maybe?
Strangely, Teru looks vaguely hot in one frame of one scene where he has his eyes closed.
Why do I get the feeling the capybaras on TV will be relevant later…?
Now, this parallel world brings a new meaning to “Infinity Train”!
Nice callback to the opening words of s1 and 2.
…and randomly, Dimple can be seen in the red waves.
It seems Dimple likes sprouting legs these days.
Cop Craft 11
Tourte’s career…almost sounds like Trump’s…
“No one treats me like an alien.”
Don’t bring a sword to a gun fight, Tilarna…
The name “transitional crises” is perfect for this episode…geesh. Just like episode 1, there’s a cliffhanger.
Dr Stone 11
Notice the focus on E=mc2 when Senku talks about passing on knowledge.
Ahh, science…the cliché says it’s for loners, but truth be told, science works in tag teams just like anything else. (Yes, even IT, if you look at it a certain way – such as how creating your code builds upon the people who built that code and the people who made the programs you code in.
Why do all the villagers have platform shoes anyway???
Demon Slayer 26 (FINAL)
Is that woman (not the Biwa player, the other one)…Muzan?! Update: Yes.
Genya…he got so tall in 2 years(ish)…poor Tanjiro. He’s fated to kill Kibutsuji, but he’s also fated to be short.
Does every girl in this series have to fall in love with Tanjiro?!?! (or be implied to be shippable with him, even Nezuko???) I obviously don’t like that kind of direction, as you can see.
Ah, Kanao speaks…for once.
I guess Nezuko has a really loud heart voice, to contrast Kanao’s tiny heart voice, so to speak.
How does Inosuke eat anything through the boar head if he’s taking it off all the time now to do things with his mouth???
Darn that ninja Giyu, leaving as soon as he feels sentimental. (LOL)
*starts yelling at top of lungs* MU-GEN TRAIN! (roughly to the tune of TM Network’s Love Train, which I heard about a few months before this)
I just realised Tanjiro’s probably never seen a train, considering the only transport he’s ever known is maybe a carriage/cart…or maybe just his legs.
As Zenitsu’s struggling to keep up with the train, I almost expect the Harry Potter theme to play and a flying car to appear in the distance…okay, I’m kidding about the car, but I did wish for a second the Harry Potter song would play. Nur-nurr-nur-nurrrrrr-nur-nurrrrrr-nurr…(or something)
Cop Craft 12 (FINAL)
“…taking the lead in the mayoral lead.” – That sounds redundant.
Hey! It’s that one Demon Slayer joke again! (i.e. Kei used his head.)
Dead Randall: too much for TV.
I still can’t believe they properly managed to incorporate the porn case into the finale…
I watched Hellsing today and all this “Sir Matoba” this and “Sir Matoba” that made me wonder…why is Integra a “Sir” as well…?
Zelada does look like Alucard in some senses…hmm.
I think the large bruise over Kei’s eye disappeared in one of the scenes…Now it’s just under his eye.
Wait, Tilarna has a sibling??? Wuh???
I like how they transitioned into the OP, but man…talk about a fast ending. That’s a Hellsing kinda ending fo’ sure. Oh well, see you next time.
Ahiru no Sora 1
New season, new faces, new series. Let’s get into it.
Man, this sparrow freaks me out…
Lyrics from the outset. This must be something special to warrant such a thing.
I always thought Kuzuryuu (“nine-headed dragon”, literally translating) was a cool surname to have! Or just a place name, in this case.
LOL, his name is Momohara (peach field).
The arcade machine says “fist” in the back.
Uh-oh…nothing ever goes right when a boy tries peeping into the girl’s locker room…
*sigh* The male gaze…geesh.
“What are you doing?!” (Nani yatterun da?!) doesn’t translate to “This isn’t the circus!”.
Oh right…Momo = 100, chi = 1000, haru = spring, aki = autumn.
Hey, Chiaki actually got Sora’s name right for once…
Basically everything I know about basketball is from Kuroko no Basuke, so…uh…Sora’s reminding me of Kuroko right now.
Shinchou Yuusha 1
I just call this “TUEEE” instead…don’t mind me. Obviously, my target here is Ume…y’know that, right?
Most of these gods and goddesses look suckish, but I wouldn’t mind an anime about the one with the long hair and Monkey King headband.
Ristarte’s already a bundle of fun…although her leg jiggling’s a bit annoying…
(mocking) There must be a downside to this, right, Listarte…?
Can we not with boob storage??? I bet no matter how big a woman’s knockers are, you can’t store anything between ‘em in real life! (I think we’d need an anime Mythbusters for something like that…make it happen, someone!)
YesyesyesyesYES! OOH, Ristarte, you sure know how to pick ‘em! The fact he’s over 180 cm in height is…well, it’s bad for trying to kiss him, but otherwise it’s just a cherry on the cake of smokin’ HOT!
“[F]ish story”??? You mean “fishy”, right? (Oh well, seems like synonyms work too…)
I…don’t quite get this song…but I think I saw a hot guy (might’ve been a woman, but I’d like it to be a man since there are already so many women in the OP as is) about halfway through the OP. It’s a real 2 for 1 bargain here, people. Update: Argh…that’s a woman after all…
Argh! *is suddenly sabotaged by one Ariadoa* If you’ve read the Spellbook, you’ll know one of my aliases is “Aria Noyed”. It just happens to be the same as an anime and manga already, but now I have it ruining my fun here too…
LOL, did you hear that “ba-bing!” acquistion sound when Rista produced the money?
To be honest, I think regular Seiya (with the purple-highlighted armour as you see here) looks pretty hot anyway (plus Ume’s voice, which I came for), so I think I have a lock-in for the season right here.
The sakuga in this show is way too good (according to all the cubes of soil I keep seeing)!
This ED is a pretty cool bop, yo.

Behind the Screens Ch 8- Playwright
(Cam. Airl- Written Draft 2)
The paracetamol didn’t seem to be doing anything to help Layla’s headache. She had been lying on her bed for nearly twenty minutes now staring at the patterns of her ceiling, and had achieved nothing. She knew exactly why she had this thumping pain in her skull. A combination of her forgetting to drink any water today, and the stress brought on by her shouting match with a movie studio for script she was writing for them.
The script was an adaptation of a story entitled “The Final Race.” A sci-fi about the human race discovering that they are the last race in the universe. She had read the book herself before being assigned the project, and had really liked it. So, when she came to writing this screenplay she had tried to be as faithful to the book as she could. However, such dedication was lost upon the studio’s executive heads. They were worried about the film not bringing in enough of a crowd to make the film break even at the box office. Thus, came out the dreaded focus group analysts. They were concerned about certain elements being too extreme for audiences so suggested some “minor changes” as they put it. These changes, however, were not minor in the slightest, and Layla had gotten into several shouting matches with them over this.
First, they suggested that the child character Evie Malone shouldn’t die, and instead should live to say the films closing remark about how the human race was good. Two problems with that request. The first was keeping Evie Malone alive. Her death in the book was one of the most traumatising moments for both the reader, and the protagonist. In fact, it caused another character to give up, and commit suicide. Second, the closing remark about the human race being good missed the point of the ending completely. The ending of the book was quite a downer, and it fit the narrative perfectly. In her screenplay she thought she had captured this to the best of her ability. This statement about wanting the human race to be seen as good would come across as unbelievably forced. It made her think they didn’t care about the story at all.
Today she had received another order. The studio wanted a point where they could play some bland pop song that all the teenage girls were apparently in eating up. A song called “I Love You Baby” by a band called the Tweenage Boppers. This again had multiple problems. First that song was about love, and had several sly remarks that translated to I want to have sex with you baby. There was also no love interest in the original book, and again it would come across as tortured compared to the visuals. Second this would indicate they are aiming the film now at the teenage girl market. Sure, she thought, popular teenage girls love stories that end by reminding people of how they are an insignificant speck in the grand scheme of the universe.
She had pointed out these problems these problems to their faces, but they didn’t seem to care. They just filled her head with talk about how it had worked for other movies, and would thus work perfectly for this one. That logic was so backwards that she left that meeting telling asking if they had even written a story before. All the could muster was blank stare before they returned to the comfort zone of their focus group study.
Layla now dreaded them trying to contact her at home because she knew that it would be another bone headed idea that just wouldn’t work. Not to mention the fact that she only had two weeks left until pre-production began. By then they needed a decent script.
Layla took a deep breath, and got up from her bed. She thought about what would be the best way to calm down. She had heard some video games had helped with this type of stress. She had never tried playing one before, but then again you were never too old to do something like that.
She went to her computer, and logged onto it. There she saw that she had received an email from the studio. Fearing the worst, she opened it, and saw that it was from the studio demanding that they call her as soon as she saw that message.
Layla had of course turned her phone off, because she was in such a rage. Now though she figured that she had to hear what they had to say otherwise they might hand it off to somebody who was much more willing to play ball.
“Layla. We’ve got a few more requests that will make this the best script in the world.” The voice on the other end of the line said.
“That’s what you said about the last batch of changes, and I pointed out how that would ruin the script.” Layla said. It was best if they didn’t know how angry she was right now.
“These will be different I promise. Look we’ve further analysed our focus study, and we have two more changes that will work. First, you should ditch the space entity, and replace them with aliens who are pure evil.”
Thus, it began again. The enemy in The Final Race was a mysterious entity. The book never revealed where it came from or why it wanted to wipe out all life in the universe. That was what made it so terrifying, and matched the feel the book had of feeling helpless in the face of god like entity. Replacing it with a race of evil aliens turned it into another bloody film about clear cut good versus evil.
“The second thing that should change is they shouldn’t destroy earth in the end, like in your script. Instead we should defeat them in a heroic manner.”
So not only did they want to go ahead with good versus evil plot, but they wanted to continue that by having good win with no consequences. Even though the protagonist was an illegal scavenger who kills several innocent people at the beginning, so she didn’t get arrested.
“That wouldn’t work at all.” Layla said before telling them her reasons. It was while she in the middle of this that a thought crossed her mind. “Are you using “The Galactic Saviours” as a model for your statistics?”
The Galactic Saviours was the last film that the main stream audiences had latched onto. It was about a group of rugged, doll-like, heroes saving the earth from a group of aliens that may as well have been space Nazis. Layla thought the film was a bland piece of grey goo, but it turned in a massive profit that looked exceptionally good for the studio who made it. Ever since then multiple studios had tried to copy it, or at least try to crowbar in scenes to movies that didn’t need it. Layla was sick of it at this point. She believed that that movie only worked once, and it was best if she, and everybody else in the film industry, made no attempt to copy it.
“No.” The voice on the other end said. Failing to their obvious lying tone.
“You can’t keep copying that movie. All pieces of that pie are gone. Your best bet is to move on, and try something new.” Layla told them.
“But, what if it doesn’t make enough money?”
“Who gives a shit if it doesn’t makes bucket loads of money.”
“Excuse me!”
“The only audience cares about is if the movie is good. If it is then it doesn’t matter how much money it makes so long as it breaks even.”
“No! Audiences want something familiar not something new that makes them feel depressed.”
Layla slammed her fist down on her desk.
“God-damn it that’s not how it works. Answer me this. Would like the movie to be forgotten immediately or remembered for years to come?”
Silence on the other end of the line.
“We’ll continue this tomorrow. Right now, I’m tired. Goodbye” Layla said hanging up the phone.
Layla put the phone back on her desk, and let out a lengthy sigh. She wondered how much experience that trend studier actually had in writing stories. She figured it was not an awful lot. Their area expertise was numbers, and making them say exactly what they wanted. For Layla numbers like that had place in the business of storytelling, or anywhere in the arts for that matter. But, here they were, and it was making her life a living hell. Then again, she had enough experience to not be bullied or intimidated by people like that. The only people she let tear her work apart like that was critics, and that was because it was the only way she learnt how to hone her craft.
She quickly closed down the email box, and opened the news sight. She began to skim when suddenly a single thought entered her mind. She looked down at her wrists, and saw that her hands were starting to shake. She knew she didn’t need it, and it was only that part of her brain that was addicted that was demanding she do it. Her breath increased. Her mind became a blurry haze clouded by one single thought.
She opened her desk drawer, and there it was a small little packet of that familiar white powder. Now her mind was screaming at her, and finally she caved. She took two pinches of the powder out of the bag, and snorted them up her nose.
Her mind was clear again, but now she felt like garbage. It wasn’t something she wanted to be addicted to, but it was something she used frequently in her twenties as a way of showing rebellion against the system. However, once her mind matured she realised that she didn’t have anything to rebel against, but her mind was still addicted to cocaine. Her one shame in life that nobody should know about except for the man who gave her the stuff.
As her mind cleared she looked back at the screen. There were the usual articles about drama with the politicians, some famous person donated money to charity, and a cruise ship had been quarantined due to someone being on board with measles. She then saw a box that flashing, and trying to get her attention. “Police press conference on apartment killer live in 20 minutes” the message in the box was saying.
Layla stared at this box with intent. Like everyone else in the city she was both curious, and terrified about the killer. She was terrified because he hadn’t been caught, and had killed god knows how many people. She should be extra terrified because he exclusively hit apartment buildings much like the one she lived in, but Layla’s inner writer got in the way of that. It felt like something that she herself would possibly write about herself in a work. Except this wasn’t fiction it was real life. A fictional story playing out before her. The idea bizarrely excited her even though people were dying.
She removed that thought, and closed down the news tab. She then logged onto a game store, someone at work had set up for her once as a joke, and began to browse through their selection.

i was tagged by @idyllicism <333
[ 1 ] how would you explain your muse to someone who knew nothing about them ??
depends on which one, but let’s use mark bc im always feelin him. mr. darcy 2.0. okay, so this guy is a lawyer, right? he’s a human rights lawyer, which is pretty cool actually, and he cares deeply about people. however, he keeps so manY THINGS INSIDE. he just bottles shit up, and he’s honestly a huge snob, but that’s also bc that’s what he feels like he should act like, and he loves bridget rose jones to the end of the earth. also he’s one of those “fight me” ppl - would not recommend getting him angry bc he’ll be like “let us go outside for a duel,” and actually it’s pretty funny, so if u need a good laugh, challenge mark darcy to a fight
[ 2 ] what’s your all time favourite movie ??
i don’t think i have one all time favorite, but i really can watch bridget jones’s diary over and over again. it’s my sick movie, my sad movie, my happy movie. it’s comfort food for my soul. 
[ 3 ] you have to marry a fictional character. who is it ??
this might sound weird, but i’ve always thought i’d do well with an entp spouse. so, like, any character who’s an entp really (look at this pic for reference altho i’d never marry certain characters on there, but u get the gist)
[ 4 ] favourite thing about yourself ??
i don’t really know at this point, it’s been a rough couple of days
[ 5 ] who was the first muse you ever wrote ?? would you consider writing them again ??
okay, so is this tumblr rp or other rp? bc the first rp i was ever in went way way back to when i was in middle school. it was on this forum, and it was this hayden panettiere oc who was a siren (she went to school with a ton of magical creatures), and i think her name was ariella bc i was obsessed with that name back then. and she was, honestly, the_worst.mp3. like i wanted her to be with this guy who was starting to see this other girl and so when they had play rehearsal (for legally blonde, she was cast as elle), i had her start to have a heart attack?? bc i was like ‘this will work, this will get him to love her’ and whoa, what a twisted time, my friends. i don’t think i’d write her again unless i revamped her - and actually that could be really fun hm...
[ 6 ] what is one television show that’ll never get old for you ??
the office
[ 7 ] what made you decide to start roleplaying in the first place ??
i think my cousin introduced me to forums? and it just stuck
[ 8 ] you can only eat one thing again for the rest of your life. what do you pick ??
steak
[ 9 ] your usual starbucks order ??
some kind of latte with an extra shot of espresso (lately i’ve been getting raspberry bc i like the idea of me drinking a pink latte)
[ 10 ] your best rp experience to date ??
okay, buckle up, bc this is gonna be a ride. so, four years ago, i applied for this disney rp, not knowing anything about tumblr rp tbh, and my character was the daughter of tarzan and jane. and the rp was set up that all interactions were online - like the charaters had tumblrs or whatever and that’s how they interacted (unless you decided to para, and then that was in person. it was actually a pretty genius way to get ppl to para bc whenever u wanted to do something in person, you had to write it out), and tbh sometimes i forgot about that and i think other ppl did too. anyways, when the rp first started, there was this skype chat made, and we all bonded and it became like a family. for a long time, those ppl felt like my family, we called ourselves an ohana bc it really felt like that (and honestly, i still think of ppl from that rp as fam, inky & zoe, if ya’ll are reading this i love you so much okay <3333). i got so invested in that rp, and it became my life in a sad way. granted, this was when my depression was at its worst, so this rp was a way to cope and yeah. but the friendships i made with other people were so deep and precious, and the drama in character and out of character added much needed life to me at a time when i needed it most. also, my favorite ship of all time came out of that rp, so it honestly gave me so much, and i’m thankful for it.

SPECIAL SAIKOU!: Japanese Super Hero Showcase: Yatterman
Tumblr media Tumblr media
youtube
Ooh~ wan, wan, wan - Ooh~ jin, jin, jin!
{Yatteman No Uta: One of the many catchy classic 1970s anime tunes)
The year is 1977:
Osamu Tezuka debuts Jetter Mars, an Astro Boy-like character, on television.
Jimmy Carter is sworn in as President of the United States.
Apple Computers is founded and debuts the Apple II computer to the public.
Enterprise undergoes a battery of tests in flight for the sake of its sister ships-to-be to ensure Space Shuttles can fly safely.
Star Wars: A New Hope debuts in theaters as a smash hit and makes George Lucas a household name in the movie biz. The War in Space a tokusatsu space film, tries to capitalize on the success of Star Wars (like pretty much everything was trying to capitalize on Star Wars)
Shotaro Ishinomori and Tohru Hirayama debut Daitetsujin 17, Ishinomori’s only time dabbling in the Super Robot genre and in a way an homage to the works of Mitsuteru Yokoyama such as Giant Robo in terms of story formula. (Boy with a giant robot he can control remotely fights evil.)
1977 was a bittersweet year for Tatsunoko. The popular Time Bokan Series was in its second show and Tatsuo did his best to make it memorable by supervising the project. It succeeded as Yatterman lasted an astounding 108 episodes and left an impression that has endured due to its humor, wacky mecha designs and fun and simple charm.
Some have even considered it a standalone, a distinct installment of the Time Bokan series as it deviated from the formula by being a globetrotting adventure-comedy rather than a time travel sci-fi comedy as a good majority of the installments did.
Then the news hit.....Tatsuo Yoshida was diagnosed with liver cancer. Like many who have been taken from us by the many variants of this terrible illness, he tried his best to fight it. But ultimately... the cancer won. On September 5, 1977, at only 45 years of age, Tatsuo Yoshida died from his illness, his final work being the anime Temple the Balloon Girl.
But, Tatsunoko pressed on as Tatsuo’s younger brothers took charge, with his youngest brother Kenji taking over as president until he eventually stepped down 1988. Tatsunoko continued to follow in its founder’s philosophy of collaborating with the best and brightest in animation to produce quality television.
Incarnations
The original ‘77 series
Tumblr media
Gan Takada and Ai Kaminari are the proprietors of the Takada Toy Shop, but are secretly the superheroes Yatterman 1 and Yatterman 2. They protect the world's treasures from the evil Doronbo Gang and keep them from obtaining parts of a mystical artifact called the Dokuro Stone, a mystical skull-shaped crystal that is said to contain a map to the world's greatest treasure; a massive deposit of gold.  The show follows a basic formula, Doronbo gets ordered by their boss the mysterious Dokurobei to find the Dokuro stone, tries some scheme to get it, Yatterman gets involved and hijinks and mecha battles ensue.
What makes the show stand out though is its use of sheer zany insanity, Dokurobei’s skull comes out of random objects to give orders to his subordinates, Doronjo suffers wardrobe malfunctions at the most awkward moments, parodies of cities and events in global pop culture and the “Surprise Mecha” of the week the Yatterman would summon to defeat the Doronbo gang’s mecha.
Speaking of which, let’s talk about them as they are the real stars of the show.
Tumblr media
While the heroes are good, there is not a lot of depth to them. This series fleshes out the villains more. Doronjo, Tonzura and Boyacky.
Doronjo (Real Name: Hiroko Sasagawa) is a vain thief who is more used to giving her subordinates all the grunt work and uses her cunning to try and stay one step ahead of the Yatterman.
Tonzura Sutakora is the muscle of the group and gets along well with Boyacky, he speaks with a Kansai accent and usually does all the heavy lifting. But he is cowardly when danger comes.
Boyacky Butsukusa is the tech genius of the bunch, a lecherous, clever and crafty man who builds the Doronbo Gang’s mechas. He is married and owns a noodle shop, which he returns to working at whenever Doronbo disbands in the franchise.
While these three are bad guys, they never try to do anything that goes way too far like destroy the world. They are just simple crooks who want the Big Score and for Yatterman to stay out of their way. And when they put the masks away at the end of each installment, they go back to doing their honest livings but stay close friends. What was even better is they had been voiced by the same actors for over 40 years: Noriko Ohara, Jōji Yanami and the sadly now late Kazuya Tatekabe who passed away in 2015.
It should be noted that the popularity of these characters had a massive cultural impact in the form of the Villain Trio trope. Let’s just say without these guys or the Time Bokan series, you possibly wouldn’t have a certain other trio from your childhood....
Tumblr media
Time Bokan OVA
Tumblr media
Mr. and Mrs.Takada save Jun the Swan.
The Time Bokan OVA features the Doronbo Gang as the stars of the show, first competing in a Wacky Races style adventure against their Time Bokan counterparts. Another involves them invading the Tasunoko Kingodm, which consists of old Tatsunoko superheroes, only to be foiled by the now older and married duo of Yatterman 1 and 2.
2008 Reboot
Tumblr media
Like Casshern, Yatterman was rebooted more or less to celebrate 45 years of Tatsunoko. Evidence of this is in the fact that during the first half or third of the show, there are random background appearances by other Tatsunoko characters or  the characters interact with them like the Doronbo Gang being foiled by Go Mifune chasing them in the Mach 5 in episode 12!
Unlike Casshern, the series stayed true to its roots with some updates including a few brand new mechas and mecha designs. The premise was now on the Dokuro Rings rather than the Dokuro Stone and one or two new characters were added. It still kept its satire, with the series poking fun at the pop culture of the aughts (namely Hollywood films) and mocking the media circus surrounding the then-current 2008.... US... presidential... elections.
...
Heh, heheheh.....HAHAHAHAHHAHA!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sorry...blacked out for second. What was I talking about?? Oh yes, Yatterman ‘08
The series even poked fun at itself, such as characters breaking the fourth wall noting how bizarre something was or referencing past events from the previous show like the now strict censorship laws on nudity in the Monday kids time slot (Doronjo has her wardrobe fall off and the boys cover her up only to comment: “Whew, safe! Back in the day we would have shown it proudly!”)
Gan is more of a genius ditz in this version and oblivious to Ai’s unrequited love. Ai on the other hand is the brains of the outfit and has a quirk of speaking how she feels in percentages. (Ex: 67% terrified, 100% angry etc. )
In 2009, the show also had a feature film which debuted movie exclusive mecha and the creation of the re-designed Yatterking, created by Brave series and Gundam series artist Kunio Okawara (Who also made the original mechas back in ‘77!):
Tumblr media
With the live action movie the following year, the anime did a Real Ghostbusters trick, in that the upcoming film was “inspired” by the fictional characters lives. They even got the cast of that movie in the recording studio to play the “actor” versions of the characters.
The 2008 series and its ‘77 predecessor did try to get a US release via Anime Sols, but sadly that experiment died due to lack of funding and no future plans are being made to bring it over at this time.
2009 Tokusatsu Film
Tumblr media
The film starts out as a typical Yatterman episode, or rather the end of one. The movie then changes into a live action variation of the final battle between Dokurobei and Yatterman with a possible hint of romance between Doronjo and Gan. Of course this leads to problems and Ai getting jealous, but everything works out in the end.
This film was directed by Takashi Miike...
Yes, as in Ichi The Killer Takashi Miike
Yes, it is as bizarre as his films are known for being at times, but fits the style of the world Yatterman is.
Yatterman Night
Tumblr media
Created to celebrate 40 years of the Time Bokan Series, Tasunoko sought to rectify their mistake of not making a dark Yatterman in 2008 by making a dark Yatterman with a 12 episode series in 2015.
WARNING: SPOILERS!
During one of the battles of Yatterman vs. Doronbo, Dokurobei got so fed up of losing that he went a step way further. He destroyed the moon, killed dozens of people and when the dust settled...his enemies the Yatterman were slain. He then orchestrated to ruin the Yatterman’s legacy and exiled his incompetent minions into isolation. Dokurobei then turns the world into a nightmare Police State, with robot duplicates of 1 and 2 enforcing his rule and the Yatter Mecha reprogrammed into mindless servants of destruction.
Jump ahead a few generations into the future and a woman named Dorothy is sick and needs medicine from the Yatter Kingdom. Her daughter Leopard and her friends Elephantus and Voltkatze go in a boat to get help. They are greeted by the “Yatterman” who open fire on them and drive them away from the wall surrounding the Yatter Kingdom. Dorothy dies and the three plan their revenge on the cruel Yatterman. They soon learn they are the descendants of the Doronbo Gang and take on their ancestor’s roles to “punish��� the Yatterman.
So the roles are reversed. The big payoff though is seeing the True Yatterman heroic duo come back in the form of two kids who take up the mantle.
A “Yatterman Beyond” if you will.
Tumblr media
Yatterman 1 and 2′s Abilities:
No superpowers, just highly skilled young prodigies in electrical and mechanical engineering. They are also skilled in toymaking, as Gan and Ai own a Toy Shop called Takada Toys (a parody of a toy company, Takara) when they are not moonlighting as superheroes.
As far as weapons, Gan wields the Kenda Magic, a special kendama he uses as a flail weapon or grappling hook (The Yatterman Night version has super strong steel wire with an automatic reel-in feature and can discharge an electric shock). Ai is armed with the Electric Stick, a telescoping baton which can shock her opponents (Yatterman Night Version can discharge a large amount of electricity to the point it can create bolts of electricity that can fry a mecha’s circuits).
And of course before we leave Yatterman, I can’t forget the trusted canine companion and his upgraded form....
Yatter Wan
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A combination of a firetruck and a dog robot, Yatter Wan was the unfinished work of Tokubei Takada, Gan’s father. Gan decides to finish building the mecha as it was intended to protect the world and the people in it according to the dog when it first comes online. Yatter Wan is equipped with rocket boosters that allow him to move blindingly fast to get where the Yatterman need to go. It is also armed with a cannon in its nose, flame breath via a flamethrower in his mouth and fire hoses for putting out fires or itself when he catches fire.
Whenever he gets beaten by the Doronbo gang’s mecha, in true old fashioned Popeye formula, he eats a “Mecha Tonic Bone” and gets stronger. The bone then is converted into energy that creates mini-robots aka “Surprise Mecha”.
However despite the lovable mutt beating Doronbo many times with his mecha companions, he eventually gets destroyed at some point or goes offline due to heavy damage. He is then upgraded too...
Yatter King
Tumblr media
The original Yatter King was modeled after a dachshund and served as a Mecha Carrier. It was much larger than Yatter Wan and was armed with another water cannon on its tail and the ability to hurl projectiles.
Tumblr media
The 2008 version was more of a combat mecha and took more of a Gundam approach, able to change from a carrier mode to a humanoid battle mode. It was equipped with: rocket boosters, shoulder mounted high pressure water cannons that could detach into a hand blaster, a chest plate that could detach into a shield, extendable ladder arms that could be used as battering rams, a water barrier shield and a fire hose that could be used as a super high pressure water sword.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The live action version didn’t get to do much, it rocketed to the location of the final battle and had one mecha fight which didn’t go well and the Yatterman only won due to the incomptence of their enemies.
So now that you know about Yatterman: Shōri no pōzu!

Up Next: It is finally time to Soar into The Light.....

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY: 
Groing up in Westerville, Ohio, as a trust fund baby in the Anderson family, wasn’t always as easy as it seemed. Blaine’s parents were well-known around town, both for their charity work and being frequent Country Club attendants, as well as the fact that his father was a successful neurosurgeon at Riverside Methodist Hospital. His brother, Cooper, was six years older than he was, and no matter how much Blaine tried to make his parents and Cooper proud of him, in Blaine’s eyes, his older brother always seemed to do everything just that little bit better. The two didn’t really get along because of this, but Blaine still looked up to Cooper. He wanted to be like him, and when he was younger, he tried to copy Cooper in every way he could. His older brother’s advice, however, felt like constant criticism to Blaine – he felt like he could never do anything right in Cooper’s eyes. Despite his struggles with his older brother, and the desperate need he felt to be praised for his actions, Blaine was a cheerful kid. He found it hard to sit still, and  almost every week, the boy would want to try something new, from tennis and polo to painting and crafting. Now that Cooper had moved out, he couldn’t simply do what Cooper did anymore, and he tried his hardest to find something that could hold his attention for more than just a few weeks. When he curiously tried the grand piano in the living room for the first time, that had mostly just been a piece of decoration until then, he was immediately sold. He still made time to climb trees and play football with the other kids, but he also made sure to practice his piano skills every single day, now that his parents had allowed him to take lessons. He also ran around being dressed up a good amount of time, singing along to the radio as he pretended to be a Disney Prince or a superhero. 
At a certain age, he noticed how the other boys started to get interested in girls more and more. They would talk about kissing girls and holding hands with girls, which were things Blaine had never felt like doing. The more Blaine heard the other boys talking about girls and sex, the more he started to realise that he wasn’t interested in girls at all. Sure, they were beautiful and they could be very nice, but he never had wanted to kiss them, or hold their hand. It was boys he liked; Disney princes, Cooper’s friends and the boy with that cute puppy that he often saw at the park. One day, when someone had asked his opinion about a girl, and he’d just shrugged, the other boys had asked him if he were gay. Blaine knew it had just been a joke, but he simply couldn’t get the word out of his thoughts. He knew he probably wouldn’t get the information he wanted from his parents, and he hadn’t talked to Cooper in ages, so he decided to ask Google for help. Suddenly, it made sense to him why he had always liked the Disney Princes better than the Princesses, and what the strange feeling in his stomach he’d gotten whenever he’d seen the cute guy with the equally cute puppy in the park had meant. He wasn’t sick, or weird. There was nothing wrong with him. He was just gay.
Blaine felt relieved now that he had finally figured that out, and decided to tell his parents not much later, in the summer before his Freshman year. His mother’s response was positive; she told him the only thing that mattered to her was seeing him happy, and if being with a guy would make him happy, then that was completely fine. Cooper didn’t really seem to bother either, although Blaine wasn’t entirely sure if his brother had even been listening at all. His father’s reaction, however, wasn’t as positive, if you could even call it a reaction at all. When Blaine had told him, he hadn’t said a word, and had walked out of the room instead. But his father’s actions spoke louder than words anyway. The two slowly became more distant, and Mr. Anderson would try to subtly introduce his son to his colleague’s daughters at the fancy parties the Andersons frequently attended, and made Blaine help him fix a car. He hoped his youngest son was just going through a phase and that these things might help him turn straight. Blaine didn’t understand why his father had to make things so complicated, and why things couldn’t just be like they used to. He hated the way his father seemed to just ignore what Blaine had told him most of the time, like it would go away if he didn’t acknowledge its existence. The two simply did not understand each other, which caused damage to their relationship. The only times his father spoke about it, were the times he told Blaine not to tell anyone outside of the family about his sexuality, a desperate attempt to keep the Anderson’s reputation clean.
Of course, Blaine knew better; this wasn’t a phase, this was simply part of who he was. So, despite  his father’s wishes of keeping his sexuality to himself, he came out at school as well. The reactions there were even worse, though. People started picking on him, and the few people he thought were his friends turned their backs on him. He did not fit in at all, and it seemed like every single one of his classmates was determined to make his life a living hell. Blaine only had one friend, and he often came home with bruises and nasty words echoing through his mind. He was a small boy, so no matter how hard he tried to stand up for himself, he couldn’t get the bullying to stop. In fact, it only got worse, and things escalated eventually. Blaine and his friend, who happened to be his date that night, became the victims of a severe beating when they attended their school dance together, not long after Blaine came out. His injuries included broken ribs, a concussion and several other cuts and bruises.
In the weeks of recovery that followed, Blaine couldn’t help thinking that this was somehow his fault. He had been the one to convince his friend to be his date, and said friend had broken all contact since the night of the beating. For the first time since his coming-out, Blaine wished he would have listened to his father. So, once he started at McKinley High, after  the decision had been made that it was best to transfer and have a fresh start somewhere else, he started to pretend like nothing had ever happened. Not once was his sexuality mentioned again at home, and at school, he pretended to be straight. How hard could it be, right? Well, a lot harder than Blaine thought it would be. Although he was known as a cheerful person, someone who was always smiling, he felt extremely confused and lost on the inside. He had hoped things would have gone back to normal, to the way they were before he ever came out. But the relationship with his father was still strained, and Blaine found himself more confused than ever. Especially when the rumours started, and with that, the name-calling and shoves into the lockers. These actions no longer seemed to have the impact they used to have on him, though. Blaine was more angry with his father and himself now, feeling as though he somehow deserved all of this for not being honest with the world. Part of him was tired of hiding who he was, but the part of him that was afraid history might repeat itself seemed to be stronger. So he remained silent, while constantly asking himself if he’d really made the right decision.

AU Masterlist
Any and all asks for these AUs are more than welcome.
Kwaminette AU- AU where Marinette is Plagg and Tikki’s daughter. She’s a Kwami instead of a human, but she prefers to take on a human form because she likes interacting with humans.

This one takes place within the show.
