(Khajit 💰🪙👛🪙🪙👛 hi!!)

Luna had decided to stay here with the princess after the incident involving the child's birthday, giving her advice, teaching her some of her royal duties (albeit scaled down for her age) and in general trying to act as a shield between the child and her supposed family of blood.

Luna would never admit just how much joy she got out of scaring away the oldest sister and the grandmother when she saw them coming to harass her princess, or if she saw them making her princess upset. If a few incidents had the senshi snickering and the Queen giving her some nice scritches and a few extra treats...well no one had to know.

So it stands to reason that as soon as the first night fell after the new babe, Antonio, had been shoved onto Mirabel Luna was out to the weather woman's room to shred several things. What kind of mother was she?!? Foisting her baby off on a child?!

When she returned feeling much better she paused in the doorway. There her princess was holding the awake baby framed by the moonlight of the window. She was near glowing in the moonlight, her lunarian mark visible upon her head...what caught Luna's attention however was the fact that the babe had the same mark upon his head.

Luna bound over and her breath caught as she looked into a pair of familiar eyes.

"The little prince." She breathed out softly and her princess made a questioning hum noise.

"Tomorrow we shall call for your mother or one of the others princess. They will be thrilled to know the prince was reborn as well...although upset with these Madrigals."

LUNA‼️‼️ SHES SO RAD FOR THAT 😮‍💨

Also a DAY?? Not even giving it a week is insane, but a day is just. Not even trying. Like damn 💀 it’s cool tho. Imagine the excitement Usagi (and Neptune) will have when she sees Antonio. And by the looks of it, Mirabel hasn’t really noticed, so she’ll probably even more excited 🦈💨💨💨

I LOVE THEM ☹️

I still can’t draw cats

[kxinv]

I finished iwwv a few days ago, and obvi cant stop thinking about it. Here are my thoughts.😵‍💫

‼️Spoilers‼️

Specifically, I can’t stop thinking about James and how upset he must have been, for all the multitude of reasons he would be.

Everytime I think about how he didn’t want to stay in the Castle, and def didnt wanna stay in his and Oliver’s room alone (whenever oli stayed with Meredith), always on walks or somewhere else we don’t know, I felt sooo bad for him.😭 And how Oliver explained that he hadnt seen or barely saw James for a couple days before the combat class.

I was so upset I felt sick.😫 Like— James is grappling with keeping two secrets from Oliver: one, that he’s in love with him, and two, the murder. So he watches his best friend end up with Meredith and he can’t do anything about it. And then there’s the fear of letting the truth out about Richard and potentially not being accepted by Oliver anymore, not as a friend, let alone as a lover.

Just… how isolating that must have been for him. Not being able to tell—I assume—the only person in the world he’d want to speak to about what happened, and also how he clearly felt unworthy of Oliver bc of what he did. While oliver didn’t believe that he was worthy of james as well—always the sidekick. GOD I HATE IT😖😖

(Sidenote, that point when Oli realizes why James was never at the house, and didn’t want to be alone in their room, bc James asks Wren to come to bed with him. Like yeah, Oliver, catch up. That shit fucking hurt.)

For context, I read through the whole book wondering when they would kiss bc I read a spoiler about it and I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR IT TO BE 16 PAGES FROM THE END WTF. So many times throughout they were literally this close 🤏 from each other and I was like, “this has got to be it, right??” lmaoo

And I’m sure that for both of them, maybe more James than Oliver, they were afraid of messing up their friendship or afraid of being rejected by the other. Which I usually love that about the friends-to-lovers trope, but I could not handle the angst in this fucking book, i was, and still am, distraught😭😭

“‘I never wanted you to look at me the way you’re looking at me right now.’”

FUCK

And then Oliver calling James a prince in that iconic line!!

(seriously tho, Richard used the term “prince” numerous times and meant it in a derogatory way, but Oliver saying it with acceptance, forgiveness, and affection, I—🫠)

Then when the both of them notice Colborne is off to the side, they know things are not going to be the same, and James realizes he might not see oliver again (at least not out of prison, knowing he would be forced to confess im sure), so he cant hold back anymore and kisses oliver. And in that one moment, they experience all the pain and emotion of this is our first kiss, but also (likely) our last.☹️☹️☹️

I get the point of the slow burn and gay tragedy, but MY GOD I just wanted these two boys to be happy.

So I am on the delusional side of things; they deserve a happy ending. James HAS to be alive, plss omgg. (i love reading the theories in fanfics of where ppl believe James disappeared to.) (Also, didnt realize he drove all the way to washington state to drown himself btw, didnt consider where the san juan islands were, just something i looked up and thought was interesting, anyways)

They’re so in love😭😭 I can’t stand it. Espec James. I feel so fucking bad for him, just thinking about how much he was struggling.

Moments that broke me:

- When James showed up at Oliver’s house unannounced. (which ofc he would, where else would he go, who else would he go to or want to be near.)

- Alexander said James couldn’t pick himself up off the floor for like half a week when Oliver was first arrested.

- The kiss on the hand, the last time they saw each other.

- The hope in Oliver when he’s finally out and all he wants is to see James.

- Oliver breaking down at Meredith’s place.

\\

Okay, now this is just a few other notes I had on the story.

First is just a theory of mine, but I don’t believe James and Wren had any kind of romantic or sexual relationship. I believe it was always platonic / protective. Bc I think that James knew he was in love with Oliver way early on in their friendship, and just didn’t want to admit it for obvious reasons.

(I also think it’s possible James could have resented his feelings for Oliver bc of how Richard taunted him being the smallest of the boys and, perhaps, for being a little fruity and whatnot, so when Oliver ended up with Meredith, I think maybe he focused on Wren as a distraction, the way Oliver used Meredith.)

Also, I dont think oliver is bi, i think he is gay. I thought he was bi at first because—well clearly he’s with meredith, but i started to reconsider when I remembered how he said he’s never brought a girl home before, and he only seems to like meredith bc everyone does and everyone’s supposed to. She’s the conventionally attractive one, and yk, that’s what a lot of queer ppl veer toward. A sort of, idk if its performative heterosexuality or what, but Oliver ends up following the social script for how a presumably straight/cis person is supposed to act. Maybe there’s also the attention from someone like Meredith that feels enticing to him. How she’s considered to be “the hottest girl” at their school and all that, and what being with her would mean for him. I just think Oliver is oblivious to his superficial feelings for her.

Another thing I wanted to mention is that I feel the story lacks in-depth characterization.

Maybe that was a choice to focus on the characters’ archetypes, how they get pigeon-holed to play certain people, but I personally thought it made them feel empty and I couldn’t connect to them. I felt like I didn’t get the full or clear picture of who each character was. Meaning sometimes they didn’t feel like an actual, real person I could meet.

I wish there was more complexity to them, I wish we got to see how each of their internal conflicts—how they deal with their archtypes and their struggle to go against it or accept it, how it causes them distress. I think more explicit examples of that would’ve helped fill in the gaps of their personalities for me. There should have been more moments in the book to show the full depth of who they are, maybe compared to who they want to be. (Not to mention, some characters def got more development than others.)

To be honest, a lot of the story felt disjointed, broken, and put together with pieces missing. Apart from the lack of individual character depth, the dynamics and relationships between the friend group felt somehow superficial and empty as well. I kept thinking how they’ve been friends for three years, but it seemed as though they didn’t really know each other sometimes.

Anyway, that’s all I can think of right now, idk if anyone else felt this way. I’d like to know if someone did/does, bc I honestly felt like there should’ve been more to the story, as I said above it seems like pieces are missing that i beleive if expanded upon would have helped to really develop the characters’ identities, their relationships between each other, and also helped to connect with the audience better.

But maybe I’m just picky🤷 tbh the story resembled one of those average netflix original tv shows most of the time I read through it lol.

[sunghun]

enhypen when you don’t say “i love you” back

requested; no :]

warnings; cursing, mentions of food

note; i’m slowly getting over writer’s block and this just randomly came to me, so :)

희승 | heeseung;

“see you later babe, love you!”

“okay.”

literally just like . freezes lmao

bc surely he just didn’t hear you say it right?

right???

probably just stands outside your front door overthinking the whole situation

you’ve always said it back

and he doesn’t remember doing anything wrong

so what’s wrong??

comes back inside after standing out there for like 5 minutes

“i thought you left al-“

“you did say you love me too right????”

but you just shrug

“idk i don’t remember”

and his face just goes 😧

what do u mean you don’t remember

cautiously walks back over to the door

“okay well….i guess i’ll go now….love you…”

and you decide to stop messing with him

“love you too honey.”

let’s out the BIGGEST sigh of relief lmao

제이 | jay;

“hey y/n”

“yeah?”

“i love you”

“cool.”

bitch you did NOT

will get Extremely offended

is gonna stare at you like 😐

“say it back.”

“say what ba-“

“Say It Back.”

may get extra petty and ignore you until you say you love him too

“hey baby can you-“

“sorry what was that? i can only hear people who LOVE ME.”

“jay i can’t reach this could you-“

“hmmm idk…..i mean i probably could if you loved me but since not….”

and at this point you are Very Much fed up w him

bc it’s been like two days lol

“ALRIGHT i love you, dumbass. now hand me the cup.”

“of course babycakes. love you too 🥰”

제이크 | jake;

“okay bye honey! i love you!”

“mhmm.”

you did it over the phone

at the end of ur conversation

and then hung up right away

and you can bet your whole ass he called you back like

“is something wrong?”

“no.”

“did i forget anything?”

“no.”

“are you upset?”

“no.”

is low-key distressed

but then is all like

“i’m sorry if i did anything wrong. if you tell me what it was i can apologize properly.”

and you can hear the ☹️🥺 in his voice

yeah good luck not showering him in “i love you”s after that

성훈 | sunghoon;

“i love you.”

“hmm.”

literally just stands there like🧍‍♂️

like he doesn’t wanna make a big deal out of it

but he also wants you to say it back??

ice prince needs that ego boost wbk

would try to be all cool and act like he doesn’t care

but that only lasts a few hours

and suddenly he’s all up in ur space like

“why aren’t you saying you love me too 🤨“

“idk what you’re talking about”

sighs really loudly and rolls his eyes

if this goes on for more than a day he might try to bribe you into saying it back lmao

“hey y/n you want some chocolate?”

“yeah sure”

“say you love me first”

spirals further into losing his mind until you finally say it back

and then he’s just like “of course you do 🙄😘”

선우 | sunoo;

“i love you baby”

“cool.”

literally goes from 🥰 to 😐 to 😑

knows somethings up right from the start

so he doesn’t say anything abt it for a while

but he Will act a little passive aggressive

“hey sunoo can you bring me some water?”

“i don’t know, CAN i?”

“i wonder why they did that?”

*slowly turns to look at you* “i don’t know. sometimes people do dumb things”

eventually he can’t take it anymore and goes up to you like

“hey y/n 😳 is there something you want to say to me 😳😳”

“uhm…. i love you….”

gets all smiley and happy

“aww i love you too sweetie ☺️”

정원 | jungwon;

“i love you!”

“yeah.”

pauses right outside the door like

wait a minute…..

walks right back in lmao

“i said i love you.”

and you just look up from your phone like 🤨

“yeah i know.”

stares at you for like 5 minutes straight

before going “okay.” and walking back out lol

bc his aquarius ass is PETTY AF

and he knows Exactly what you’re doing

two can play at that game 💅🙄

reverts to calling you by ur government name and won’t hold your hand

which honestly kind of backfires on him

bc calling you “love” and “baby” is like a second nature to him

and no hand holding = a very sad wonnie :(

so you’re both gonna be kinda miserable :/

until u finally break like “ALRIGHT i love you now please hold my hand”

and he’s secretly even more relieved than you are lmao

니키 | niki;

“i love you y/n.”

“thanks.”

malfunctions a little bit

did you really just…..?

probably repeats himself

just to make sure you actually heard what he said

“i…..love….you….”

and you’re just like….?

“thank……you….?”

wouldn’t say anything bc he doesn’t wanna look like a baby

but it Will eat away him

low-key questions everything about your relationship

is it bc he made fun of you for crying over that movie yesterday?

or because he left the toilet seat up??

are you getting ready to leave him and run away to france with man named pierre???

WHAT IS IT

finally breaks down after a couple days in the most d r a m a t i c way ever

“IM SORRY I CALLED YOU A CRYBABY PLEASE DONT RUN AWAY WITH PIERRE I PROMISE ILL LEAVE THE TOILET SEAT DOWN.”

and you’re just like

….tf?

until u finally realize what’s wrong

and then you just roll your eyes like

“i love you too, drama queen.”

“oh thank GOD.”

might tear up a bit

now who’s the crybaby?

blurry Tap with his beautiful smile

Fahlanruk - episode 6 Trashwatch:

~ I really like this opening credits sequence and the theme song. The montage looks like an interesting show!

~ Ok. Getting tired of this cute boy page stuff

~ Sher's drinking is getting pretty concerning. I still can't tell if it's going to be shown as a problem to be addressed or if the show is testing it as fine.

~ I think LITA and all the analysis I've been doing of it has made me more bothered by stalkery behavior than I was last week. It doesn't feel out of place in this show in the same way, I'm just more sensitive.

~ Tap is so adorable. His shy little smile.

~ I like this girl, she's an assertive flirt without being a creep about it. (A line many shows find difficult to manage with their female love rivals.) But poor Ping 🙁 Oh I see! Tap stops and looks guilty as soon as Ping sees him, lol.

~ I continue to love Sher's dancing.

~ 💙PingTap💙 This whole silent scene is legitimately wonderful, actually, if too brief a time with them.

~ Ooh, insight into Sher and Prince's codependency thing.

~ Poor Gear. "Another friend." Is Prince oblivious, uninterested and pretending to be oblivious, or interested and scared?

~ This poor girl. She just wanted a nice date with a cute guy and then his two friends show up at their table and proceed to get wasted. Lol, and then the cute guy is upset about them leaving him along with her. Although maybe she'll get a fun night out of it after all.

~ ☹️ heartbroken Ping 🥺

~ Oh! Tap couldn't go through with it! He's in love back, even if he doesn't know it yet. Hooray for Ping! Sorry your night was disappointing, assertively flirty girl. Hope you find other cool people to sleep with, you deserve it.

~ Who is this guy spying on Fah in the showers and then gossiping about it? (Creepy, btw) Should I recognize him? I don't care enough to go back and check.

~ Oooh, hints of Sher's (tragic? angsty?) backstory!

~ Damn. Sher is really in a punching mood these days.

~ Ooh and the mysterious bearded man appears!

~ More Anna! But at what cost? (The cost is that she hangs out with the creepy gossips.)

~ Wait WHAT?! Is Tam really scheming like that? Or is Sher making this up for some reason? Well, planned or not it did get mysterious bearded man's attention. What a weird family.

~ Lol, they didn't even need to change the wound makeup on Sher/Tam's actor. Convenient. Also, is dabbing at bloody wounds with a q-tip a thing outside of dramas? Is it universal medical practice? Or at least Thai medical practice? I dunno, it seems generally inefficient to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

~ I was so distracted by musing about wound tending that I forgot to look for insights into mysterious bearded man. Let me go back. Ok. He and Tam sit very close and stare longingly at each other for 15 seconds. That's all we get. So I'm guessing history, mutual pining, some real or imagined obstacle? Exes? Friends who are scared to be more? Family enemies á la Romeo and Juliet? The people demand answers!

~ Tap has such a lovely smile.

~ Oh! An ex! I have to say that was my favorite theory. And a name! Hello Chama.

~ And legitimately mysterious. A disappearance, ooh. Oh wait. He has amnesia?! And a house full of paintings of Tam?! This storyline has gone full soap opera. None of this makes sense, but sure. Let's go with it.

~ Jesus, how many people were spying on Fah in that bathroom?

~ But I don't understand why Fah didn't just go home? Is the gym floor his favorite crying spot?

~ Ah, parents's bad example is the tragic back story, the reason Sher is afraid to love and be loved. Ok.

~ I kind of appreciate the actors lack of commitment to making these ads feel realistic or natural in any way.

~ "Being nosy makes people crazy." Thesis statement of the show? I honestly cannot begin to parse what this show is trying to say about prying and gossip.

~ Gear, baby, walking off to hide behind a wall because you accidentally confessed to your crush. I love it!

~ Next week: More drinking (seriously, what is the show trying to do with this?), the return of the white towel as Ping gets to gently caress Tap's feverish naked body, and Ping worries that his crush is obvious.

I'm not really taking about Sher and Fah because I don't have much to say that I haven't already said. The bones of an interesting story are there, and some nice moments, but sadly this particular execution still isn't working for me. They don't bother me anymore, I just kind of half zone out for their scenes. Really I'm in it for PingTap at this point.
