~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All you could see was blood.

Granted, your vision was blurry in your right eye, and your left was swollen shut, so the only thing you could really make out was the vibrant red and some malformed shapes; one of which you recognized as Zoro by the shock of green against red, and panic gripped your heart when you realized he was the only one still standing on deck, surrounded by the fallen bodies of Marines and your crew mates alike. With your poor vision, you couldn’t tell if they were breathing or not, but the amount of blood soaking into the planked deck of the Merry was extremely concerning, and you drew in a deep breath as your heart lurched into your throat.

The blurry, unmoving figure that concerned you the most was the one only mere feet away from yourself; the red vest was darkened with blood, and the signature straw hat was crumpled and laying flat on the deck a few inches away from Luffy’s body. Your heart cinched painfully as you remembered the way Luffy had taken the full force of a swinging blade for you, leading to his chest being horribly slashed and ultimately contributing to his defenseless state. The others weren’t too far away from him — Nami was slumped against the left stairs, and Usopp was at her flank, lying face down, and Sanji was crumpled and clutching at his side a few feet away from the two. The only one still fighting was Zoro, but you weren’t sure how long he’d last against the onslaught.

I need to do something! You thought desperately, guiltily, wracking your brain and tired body for some sort of solution, but you didn’t really know what you could do in your current state. Your right leg was bent at an odd angle and pain resonated up the entire length, telling you that it was clearly broken, and your ribs hurt with every breath you pulled in — your body was in excruciating pain and you could hardly breathe, let alone move — but your crew mates were hurt, they could be dying, and they needed you. Luffy needed you.

Your entire body seized up with fear when Zoro let out a pained yell and you watched helplessly as his blurry shape fell to the deck, a Marine standing over him with the tip of his sword dangerously close to the man’s throat. With Zoro down, there was no one left to oppose the Marines, and everyone was now in major risk of truly losing their lives.

“Zoro,” you rasped out, desperate for him to rise again, but your voice was quiet to even your own ears, and you knew there was no way that it could have reached Zoro — and even if it had, what good would it really do? You were useless anyway; you knew your own crew mates felt this way, too. It was the whole reason they had tasked you with guarding the Devil Fruit when the Marines attacked. You were poor at fighting, with little to no experience in it, and you’d only be a liability on the battlefield — a point that was blatantly proven the minute you exited the protection of the galley. But you knew the crew was being overrun; even with the impressive fighting abilities they bolstered, it would be nearly impossible for anyone to take on a hoard of Marines at the same time, and you only wanted to help. You wanted to be useful to them, to save them, because you loved them. They were your family.

Helplessness washed over you with an alternating wave of anger, and when you clenched your fist against the deck, your fingers dug in to something wet and crumbly. With momentous effort you turned to the side to look at your hand, where your fingers where digging into the soft flesh of that damn fruit, and a fleeting fire of hope sparked inside your chest.

These things grant power, don’t they? You thought to yourself, gazing at the bright lavender skin of the misshapen fruit. Trepidation fluttered in your chest and your stomach rolled at the mere thought of consuming the fruit — none of you had any idea what abilities it would grant, and there was a chance you would be stuck with one that wasn’t even useful for the current situation, — but it was the only hope you had, and you weren’t about to abandon it and your crew’s only chance.

From your periphery you saw Zoro harshly kick the Marine’s ankle, and relief pooled in your gut when the man yelped and fell to the deck, his sword no longer near Zoro’s neck. Zoro raised to wobbly feet, and your relief was quickly swallowed by foreboding as three Marines immediately descended upon him. There was no time for hesitation or regret. Without giving it much thought, you brought the fruit to your mouth and sunk your teeth in, cringing at the utterly rotten, dry taste against your tongue. It was like sandpaper sliding down your throat, but you forced yourself to consume the entire thing; it was thankfully fairly small, and you were able to finish it in roughly ten bites.

At first, nothing happened; you felt no different, and panic gripped your heart as multiple thoughts flooded your mind. What if it hadn’t worked? What if the power was completely useless? What if your crew mates died before you could fully use the power?

Then, a single thought echoed into your head and made you heart ache fiercely.

What if Luffy died before you could save him?

Suddenly, as if your blood had turned to lava within your veins, your body heated from the inside out, and suddenly, you were no longer on the deck of the Merry; you were floating above it.

You also noticed that your leg no longer hurt, and the odd angle it had been put in was cured; your body felt as if it weighed nothing, and when you looked down, you realized with a start that your body truly did weigh nothing — because your physical body was still on the ground, slumped and lifeless-looking, and panic gripped your heart with a ferocity much stronger than before.

Were you dead? Had the Devil Fruit killed you, and now your spirit had vacated your body? Horror filled your veins with ice as you thought of the implication — your only chance at saving your crew mates failed, and now you’d be able to do nothing but watch as they were slaughtered and their remains dragged to the nearest Marine headquarters.

“(Y/N)? What the hell is going on?”

Zoro’s voice broke through your haze of muddy fear, and your heart lightened as you snapped your eyes to his and noticed he was staring right at you — not your physical body, but the one currently floating in the sky. Zoro wasn’t the only one staring at you; the Marines had ceased their attack, and were now staring at you with wide eyes.

They can see me! That’s a good thing, right? You thought, but then another reality crashed into you and nearly knocked you off balance — if you were separated from your body, but not dead, that could only mean one thing: the fruit had worked, as you’d hoped, but the power you were granted was completely useless. Not that you truly understood what your new power was, but separating your soul from your physical body surely wasn’t useful for fighting, was it?

“(Y/N)! Answer me!” Zoro barked, and for the first time you noticed the true fear swirling within his eyes, mixing fluidly with pure confusion, and you realized that maybe Zoro himself thought you were dead, and that he was seeing your spirit.

“I don’t think I’m dead,” you croaked out. “I’m just… separated.”

That didn’t exactly help curb the confusion or fear in Zoro’s eyes, and one Marine used his moment of hesitation to lunge forward. Panic gripped your body (was it still a body?) as the tip of the Marine’s sword dead-eyed for Zoro’s chest — he was going to kill him, you had to do something —

That hot, molten lava once more burned your veins, and in the literal blink of an eye, you were no longer floating above the deck, and instead you were directly in front of the Marine, staring into his wide, terrified eyes. There was a strange feeling in your chest, as if there were some sort of rod of pure electricity stabbing through it, and when you looked down, you choked out a scream as you registered the view of the Marine’s sword piercing straight through your chest.

Despite the clear evidence of being stabbed, there was no pain or blood — and though your body was semi-translucent, the sword held fast in your chest when the Marine yelped and released the hilt, as if your body still held the physical consistency of a normal body.

What the fuck?

“What the hell are you!?” The Marine yelled out, hand flying to his hip to yank a revolver from the holster and point it at you. Despite the fact that you were just as confused and frightened by your strange composition as the Marine, you flashed him a cocky, condescending smile.

“Honey, you just tried to stab me, and that clearly didn’t work. What makes you think a bullet will?”

You were thankful that your voice came out much more confident and snarky than you felt, and the faux disposition you displayed made the Marine take a few more steps back. Hope once again flickered in your chest as you looked around and noticed the other remaining Marines had also backed away from you, hesitant and cautious and confused.

Maybe if I can convince them I actually know how to use this power, it’ll be enough to scare them off.

“You guys look a bit confused,” you said loudly, watching cautiously your surroundings. “I guess they didn’t inform you that there are two Devil Fruit users on this crew?”

The Marine, the one who had stabbed you, sputtered indignantly, “That’s not possible! Headquarters has the record of every single member of the Strawhats, and the only one listed to be a Devil Fruit user is Monkey D. Luffy!”

Your heart skipped a beat, and you began to feel anxious, but you rolled your eyes and popped out a translucent hip with much more confidence and sass than you thought could be possible for yourself in your current state of panic. “Does it look like he’s the only one?”

The Marine faltered and his hand shook against the holster on his hip. He seemed to be contemplating something, his body completely rigid, but you had the strange feeling that the man wanted to lunge at you and prove your internal bluff — fear gripped you tightly, but it eased when the Marine took another step back and addressed his men loudly.

“Retreat, men! We are not equipped to handle an unknown Devil Fruit power! I repeat, retreat!”

There was a flurry of feet beating against planks, and relief washed over you as the dark blue uniformed men quickly ran back to their own ship. Your shoulders slumped, and you felt exhausted. Soon enough, the only bodies left on the bloodied deck were your fallen crew mates, some of who were now groaning in pain, and the only thought you could fully latch onto before everything faded to black was thank god they’re alive.

You could hear voices, but they were faint and the words within indecipherable, but you were pretty confident that they belonged to Nami and Luffy. Your heart skipped a beat at the latter’s adorable lilt, but it then sunk at the clear worry etched within when your brain could finally decipher the words.

“When will she wake up?”

“I don’t know, Luffy, I’m not a doctor. She was pretty badly hurt even before she ate the Devil Fruit. There’s no telling what kind of toll it could have taken on her body given her condition when she ate it.”

You hated it when they worried about you. It made you feel even more useless to them, like salt to a wound, and the reminder of the choice you’d desperately made just cut a little deeper — it was something you never fathomed doing. The exchange was too steep, and the powers granted by Devil Fruits were just too inhuman, it wasn’t natural. In your mind, no one should ever wield powers like that, and the only person you’d ever accepted to wield them was Luffy, but that was for another reason entirely that you didn’t really want to think about given the state of the situation.

“‘M fine…” you grumbled, and you wanted to wince at how scratchy and weak your voice sounded.

“(Y/N)!” Luffy nearly shouted, and you barely had time to prepare yourself for the onslaught of pain in your body as the bed rocked and Luffy crushed you under his own weight. You wheezed before breaking off into coughs, and the weight was lifted from your body with a rather shrill yell from Nami.

“You idiot! She has a broken leg, are you stupid?”

Nami wasn’t entirely wrong, and her verbal observation brought the aches and pains to the forefront of your mind; your leg was now aching something fierce, but that wasn’t really what you were focused on. What you were focused on, however, was the pleasant tingle currently zinging beneath your skin from the brief physical contact you’d had with Luffy. Your face heated as your coughs eased, and when you finally cracked open your eyes you were greeted with the sight of Luffy’s dazzling grin, not even the least bit dimmed by the rather irritated looking Nami at his side; Luffy’s eyes were bright, crinkled at the sides in the way they always were when he smiled, and your heart stuttered briefly in your chest at the sight.

Feeling slightly awkward but still buzzing from the warm embrace he’d pulled you in, you sent the rubbery boy the most convincing smile you could given your current state.

“Heya, captain.” You murmured, and Luffy’s smile just widened even further, and, fuck, that looked too good on him.

“How are you feeling?” Nami cut in, and your eyes snapped to her face. Her brows were furrowed, and truly you hated the way her worried frown shadowed her beautiful features. Wanting desperately to wipe it away, you smiled at her, and croaked, “I’m doing okay, I think. A bit thirsty, though.”

Nami didn’t look fully convinced, but her shoulders slipped down ever so slightly, and her lips uncurled from a frown to a straight line. She gave you a hesitant nod, and with the assertion that she was going to let the others know you were awake and fetch you a glass of water, she flitted from the room, leaving you alone with a still-smiling Luffy. Without the distraction of Nami in the room, your attention was forced to be held only by Luffy, and jittery nerves erupted under your skin. The nerves intensified when Luffy reached forward and plucked your hand up, encasing it within his own.

“Are you truly okay, (Y/N)?” Luffy asked, and despite the eye crinkling smile still on his face, his words dripped with nothing but seriousness — there was concern etched in there, too, but you could tell that it wasn’t just pertaining to your physical state. Luffy was asking about your mental and emotional state, as well; and given the circumstances, you could understand why.

From the moment you’d agreed to join his ragtag group of outcasts, you’d made your stance on Devil Fruits and their users quite clear; you’d never treated Luffy with anything less than respect, and though you had never considered Luffy to be a menace as you did most Devil Fruit users, your opinion on them had hardly swayed. There was no doubt in your mind that Luffy, as well as the rest of the crew, were more than likely incredibly confused and shocked by your decision to consume the fruit that Luffy had suspiciously secured days prior.

You tossed Luffy’s question around in your head, and thought heavily about it. Were you okay? All in all, aside from suddenly being able to literally exit your own body, you hadn’t felt any different; you felt human, normal, and you hadn’t grown any strange appendages — that was a plus. So, aside from the cramps and aches and general fatigue, physically you were okay. But mentally…

You were still pretty okay.

Of course, you still had some reservations about your choice to consume the fruit; the powers you’d been granted with definitely were not natural, and the act of going against every single fiber of your own personal code rubbed you in a way that wasn’t pleasant; but seeing Luffy before you, a little bruised and cut up, but alive, and armed with the knowledge that the rest of the crew was still alive, you couldn’t find it within yourself to hold any ill-feelings or regret towards your decision. You were okay. Giving Luffy a true, genuine smile, you asserted as much to him.

“I’m okay Luffy, truly.”

The smile that Luffy sent you was face crinkling and nothing short of absolutely dazzling, and for a mere second you felt as though you were looking into the literal sun.

“I’m glad. Because I’m okay, too.”

A silence suddenly fell over the two of you, the only sounds decipherable being that of the gulls crying outside and the slap of waves against the hull of the Merry. Luffy still had your hand clasped in his, and the realization of it had your body honing in completely on the sensation. Luffy’s hands were warm, insanely so, his palms calloused and slightly rough but also with a touch of soft, and his fingers were long, so long, and your body heated from the inside out.

You didn’t have long to build up jittery nerves over the intimacy before the door slammed open, startling you so badly that you jerked your hand out of Luffy’s as if it had been burned. Guilt gnawed at your insides at the way the rubber man’s face fell, but you didn’t have much time to mull over it before Usopp was springing across the room to shove his face into yours.

“(Y/N)! You’re awake! I’m so happy — you did amazing out there!” Usopp ushered out, words slightly melding together in the fast pace he was spewing them out. You couldn’t help the way your cheeks flushed at the compliment — you hadn’t really done much, close to nothing at all. All you’d done was bullshit the Marines away. That hardly counted as ‘amazing’ in your book.

Your flush deepened as you caught sight of Zoro, Nami, and Sanji entering the room as well, and honestly, this room was much too small for six people, and was it just you, or was it extremely hot at the moment?

Usopp was still spewing praises and, weirdly, declarations of love in your direction, and the other three were simply looking at you with warm smiles, and as you met the eyes of every one of your crewmates, your heart began to resonate with a familial warmth.

But then your eyes connected with Luffy’s, and there was such raw emotion and pure love swirling within those chocolate orbs, and when he sent you his lopsided smile, breathing and alive, there was only one thing you could think;

If I was to do it all over again, time and time again, I would still make a deal with the devil for you.

May the Firth 2024

Here's what I watched with Colin Firth in it during this May, ranked by his sexiness, not movie quality, and with a handy guide to how often he wears white shirts and whether he gets wet, since that's his Thing.

The Last Legion

Sexiness score: 7. Grimy!Colin is not as sexy as refined!Colin, but he's still pretty hot. And he has a sexy sword fight with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who played the Elizabeth-equivalent in Bride and Prejudice, which I am tickled by. But I still cannot recommend watching this movie.

White shirt amount: 80% but it's mostly covered up

Wet: ✅

Rye Lane

(Okay technically I cheated and only watched the Colin Firth cameo in this movie...)

Sexiness score: 5 because he's scruffy and sad but you can see his nipples through his t-shirt and he's making burritos and burritos are sexy

White shirt amount: 0% but I could argue a Love Guac'tually t-shirt is even sexier than a white shirt

Dorian Gray

Sexiness score: 4. He's a scummy person, and I'm not a fan of facial hair on Colin, but he does wear a lot of nice suits and do a lot of sexy smirking.

White shirt amount: 98%, but they're always covered up with like 12 layers of other Victorian clothing so it's wasted booo

Easy Virtue

Sexiness score: 3. Awful personality, clothes, and hair, but he saves it in the end by wearing a tuxedo and doing a sexy tango. (Side note: I do not like him playing Ben Barnes's dad because I am the same age as Ben Barnes and I do not like being reminded that I could technically be Colin Firth's child.)

White shirt amount: 15%

Fever Pitch

Sexiness score: 3. He's an annoying frumpy loser and I don't get why the FMC goes back to him. But I'll give him a couple points for having wonderfully floppy hair and getting to see him in silly boxer shorts. I would have given him even more points if he had kissed Mark Strong.

White shirt amount: 2%

That's it for 2024! I was dealing with a health problem this month, so didn't get to watch as much as I wanted. But over the course of my life, I have now watched 35 of Colin Firth's 91 acting credits on IMBD.

Here are my 2022 and 2021 roundups of Colin Firth movies!

[x-authorship-x]

10 Fandoms, 10 Characters, 10 Tags

Thanks for the tag @tsarinatorment 🥰

Im not going to try to really put them in any order but...

Uchiha Shisui (Naruto)

We all been knew 🥴 to me, Shisui is just the perfect kind of character to play protagonist with, with enough badassery and charm to come out on top but with the sweetness and the last scraps of his idealism to soften his edges. Kishi, however, threw him down the toilet at the nearest opportunity (which was just so 🤌bullshit🤌 I'm almost - almost- impressed) because he realised he Gone Fucked Up making this amazingly powerful character with no hint of him in prior work so 🤡 canon is dead, Shisui lives forever

Finn (Star Wars movies)

Anyone who's had the misfortune to follow me or has browsed my AO3 bookmarks knows I'm a wreck for Commander Cody and for Obi-Wan but I'm not choosing either of them? How??? Because Finn... FINN, he was literally raised to be canon fodder but he had this deep rooted fear that what they were doing was wrong and he didn't shoot and he took that fear and he knew he had to run. So often we wanna be brave in those moments but in actual fact we just panic, which is what Finn did... And yet he was so brave too? He saved Poe, he fought viciously for Ray, he joined the Rebellion, he met these people for minutes at a time but had already impressed them on his soul, on who he was going to be (and he'd only had a name as of that day???). Finn should've been the protagonist of that trilogy, the sequels were just...well, and I'll die on this hill that Finn's force sensitivity reaalllly should've meant something 😩 I love so many SWs characters but Finn is really the one that got me to actually attempt my own Fics too!

Obi (Akagami no Shirayukihime/Snow White with the Red Hair)

Do I Have a type? .... Next question.

Obi is just ✨🤌 ✨ badass with a mysterious background? ✅ Loyal but sassy? ✅ Pining for the 'lady' he is sworn to protect?✅ Is also her partner in life and crime? ✅ Low self worth but flirtatious? ✅ Gorgeous but dangerous? ✅ .... ✨💕

Yor (Spy x Family)

She is literally the best mother oh my God just kiss your husband though (and maybe get some space from your brother-)

Fíli (The Hobbit)

I JUST-

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 little golden lion prince, heir to his uncle, to a kingdom only told in stories of grandeur he's never seen and with all the hope and grief of his displaced and hurting people.... Mischievous but sensitive, funny (the hidden knives hehe), determined to do his family and people proud (cut down far too quickly, deserved better... Oh god I have a type-)

Boromir (The Lord of the Rings)

Why do I keep listing dead guys 😭 do I need to spell it out? Honor, desperation, valour, love of his people, he is high-key aroace rep, his resentment-to-love bromance with Aragorn that was ROBBED from us, I cannot tell if Merry and Pippin wanted to queerplatonic marry him or if they wanted him as their "getaway horse" for the rest of their lives but dammit 😭✨🤌

Evelyn Carnahan (The Mummy)

Do I need to even give reasons????? She's miles ahead of all those other scholar bitches, she's out there winning desert camel races, she's a reincarnated princess with daggers, she has the most gorgeous hair and eyeliner I swear to God, she is THE moment… For all time. She's a LIBRARIAN

Din Djarin (The Mandalorian)

*flips desk through solid concrete wall* HE'S THE PERFECT MAND'ALOR

PERFECT FATHER

COOLEST INTROVERT IN THE GALAXY

He is SOFT and SOFT-SPOKEN

He is STERN (except in face of baby's wet eyes) and LOYAL and he has an HONOR CODE DAMMIT STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE HIM

This doesn't count as a star wars pick, which I gave to Finn, because we are, as usual, swerving completely off canon (and this is a TV series, not the movies ha!) because you cannot convince me that Din, the wandering bamf who just wants to get credits for all the kids in his covert and provide for his home but cannot participate in the maiming of an 'alien' child so gets landed in so much shit, wouldn't be exactly what the Mandalorians need for a fucking Renaissance dammit 😤😤😤😤

Hawks (Boku no Hero Academia/ My Hero Academia)

*covers my face in shame* ffs it's so transparent lol

FINAL PICK - WILDCARD: Éowyn(The Lord of the Rings)

Ohhhhhhh and it's the Shieldmaiden of Rohan with the steel chair! The Witch King goes down, and he's not getting back up-! 3! 2! 1! And the crowd goes BALLISTIC!!!

I want to write a fic about her 😐 I want her to have a whole alter ego as one of the Rohirrim's best warriors 😳 I want her, seventeen and coltish, to down her first orc, standing in defense of another, and to know with absolute certainty that she wanted to protect everyone she could… 👁️👁️ yes I know I already did lotr but you're what??? Gonna stop HER???

Monthly likes/dislikes

❣️ Moonlight Chicken - one of my most anticipated shows over the past year and admittedly the first 2 episodes had me a bit unsure about the pacing and the characters as it was so divergent, which changed rapidly with episode 3 though and by episode 4 I was hooked lol. The storytelling approach is unconventional and so many nuances about the characters and their lives feel so real that it hits home hard lol and the realism + minimalism is a very nice change of scenery coming from gmmtv. The cast is superb to say the least and also the ppl behind the scenes deserve tons of praise because it’s obvious that it takes a good amount of life experience as well as in directing and writing to narrate these stories in the distinct way that they do and I applaud everyone who’s part of it because you can tell they put their heart and soul into this production. 9/10.

👎🏻 609 Bedtime Story - this is a bummer because I was really excited for this one, also since it’s from the eclipse director, and it had a very promising start but then it got real weird. Like why make it so complicated? there’s no need for that. We get the idea and what you’re trying to tell us. So why make the plot so tangled? sigh. On the other hand I really liked Ohm in this role and it might be his best one yet. He was finally able to showcase that he is capable of more than just 1 facial expression lmao so I liked him as Mum but unfortunately he wasn’t able to save the plot. what a shame. 6/10.

He said him and G. have not spoken in over 2 years and told his fans to finally move on, as their obsession is having a negative effect on both their personal lives.

what are your favorite bridgerton books and why? sorry, this sounds like a hw question, but i’m curious bc i enjoy hearing ur perspective on these things!

Full disclosure, I’ve only read Benedict, Francesca, Colin, Anthony, and Gregory’s books (and I’m currently reading Hyacinth’s book, which I am enjoying). So I can't talk about the other three obviously, but that being said:

1. An Offer From A Gentleman. I’ve read it four times now and I fall more in love with it with each re-read.

I know I compare everything to Jane Eyre, but it’s very Jane Eyre esc:

Orphaned girl raised by a family who treats her poorly ✅

Working-class woman who catches the eye of a man above her station ✅

Said man above her station asks her to be his mistress✅

Forces out of their control keep them apart, but eventually love conquers all✅

I love that Benedict is such a mess. I love that Benedict always wanted Sophie. I love how much he loves her. I love that he apologized to her for what he put her through when he finally got over himself.

I love how much Sophie wants to be with Benedict and how much she sticks up for him yet she’s not willing to compromise her morals for him. She's so kind and has so much integrity. She went through hell and she still comes out of it good-natured. She truly deserves all of the love in the world(and Benedict gave her that).

Their love story hits all the tropes for me.

2. When He Was Wicked. I have to go back and read this one because it’s do for a re-read, but it’s arguable the best written Bridgerton book.

It’s more of a mature novel and it’s much more spicy than the others. I absolutely adore the setting. I realized now I don’t really like the ton so the fact that a large portion of this book takes place in Scotland away from the ton is everything.

Like with AOFAG, Michael(Kedar Williams-Stirling was born to play him) falls in love with Fran first and he never stops loving her. The pining and the longing, again it just hits all those tropes for me🔥

3. On The Way To The Wedding. I debated where to put this one because I actually only like half of the book. The second half(and the epilogue which just melts your heart) really saves this from being at the bottom of the list because the first half is so boring. I do not like the house party setting. It drags on incessantly to the point where I almost quit reading this book. Gregory is kind of just a meh protagonist. Lucy kind of needs to grow a backbone. Hermione Watson kind of doesn’t need to be there. Honestly, this book would’ve been better if we cut out Hermione Watson and began the main events at the back half of the house party 🤷🏽‍♀️

4. Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. I don’t like Colin. He’s a jealous whiny baby. The only reason this book isn’t dead last is because of Penelope. She is quite sympathetic in comparison to her show counterpart and I did find myself relating to her a lot more than I expected to.

5. The Viscount Who Loved Me. I know everyone loves this book, but I do not like this book. I came in with low expectations and my expectations were still not met. People talk about Benedict being an asshole, but Anthony is a thousand times worse. He doesn’t seem sorry for what he put Kate through(unlike Benedict) and I don’t find book!Kate that compelling of a character either. Quite frankly I don't care if I never read this book again.

Okay, don't get me wrong I love the take of wenclair giving Starfire and Raven vibes but may I present y'all with BBRae? Beastboy and Raven because the parallels y'all, no one cannot tell me they don't have the same vibes. I need a wenclair au now. I mean Wednesday getting referred to as a raven just set me off.

Guess I'm writing it once I actually have time for something other than work 💀

Opposites attract trope ✅

Cannot smiling + Barely cracks a smile ✅

Literal sunshine + Grumpy rain cloud ✅

Have they both ruined my life? ✅

They both learn a lot from each other but also firmly stay true to themselves. Him saving her in a sudden transformation as a beast from another beast. Having a heart to heart under the night sky. Raven being manipulated by a love interest for Beastboy to be there to let her know she's not alone and they hug. They had one of the sweetest damn platonic relationships and had such beautiful potential for a truly healthy relationship (and they do have one in other adaptations). The idea that "oh why can't they just be friends" was often thrown around with this ship. "Just friends" always sounds so damn dismissive to me as if friendships aren't that important. I've mentioned this before but as someone who is demiromantic, that emotional bond is very important to me. It should be important for any relationship really, because some of the most loving relationships that last occur when the couple is first friends then lovers. Even if the close friendship never turns into something romantic that bond's importance does not diminish, love is powerful and doesn't always need to be sealed with a kiss, it can be sealed with a hug. If Wenclair becomes canon freaking amazing, beautiful, love to see it. Slow burn all the way even, i wanna see how their friendship continues to build, all their dynamics, the slow realization of what they mean to each other and if that turns romantic poetic cinema. And if it doesn't, that's okay too. But dear God Wednesday as a character needs that emotional growth with a partner, especially after this season. I cannot accept another love interest if it is not built on strong emotional grounds for her because honestly, this is Wednesday Addams we're talking about. A show focused on her needs to build her very careful and I think they did that beautiful with Enid as well as her friendship with Eugene. Eugene is a very sibling like bond and I absolutely love that for her. She goes out of her way to visit him at the hospital and even opens up in his presence because it's comforting. And Enid, just wow, she truly managed to gain Wednesday's trust. And same for her. That hug being the climax of the series and not a romantic kiss just spoke to me. I can't wait to see how their friendship grows. If romance is to bloom, I'd be happy with Season 2 end being a realization of what their bond means to each other, Season 3 subtle mutual pining and treading waters, Season 4 canon at the start finally and a lovely full season of them figuring their relationship out whilst adventuring together. That way we get a proper romantic development between the two that isn't rushed in the last season or just the last episode and realistic for Wednesday's character, whilst not risking Netflix cancelling the show (precautionary but at this point it really does feel like Netflix just cancels anything with canon wlw).

I also am for queerplatonic relationship wenclair, trust me my aroace spec self loves this idea too 😭 just saying how I'd love to see it play out if they went with romance. (Still have my sapphic demiromantic asexual Wednesday HC 👌🏽✨ )

Lastly, I leave y'all with this.

Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture:

NAMASKAR , MY DEAR AMIT JI 💋

My beloved

Amit ji ♥️, you are a very happy Person , because you have time and you can "pull the Cat by the tail" for a very long time , hoping that everything will be resolved by itself , or with the help of Higher Forces 😇 ...

Unfortunately , even with all my desire , my time is very limited , and it does not depend on me ...

You should definitely Read this Letter and find out the whole Truth , because maybe this will be my last Message for you ...

💚💚💚 As you remember , I wrote to you several times about my Extreme difficult Life Situation , and I begged you for Help and Salvation ♥️🙏 🕉 ...

But I was frankly Shocked that My Beloved Amit ji🌹 did not allocate a few minutes for me , and did not even express his Moral Support to me , did not even support me with Words of Support ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

You could tell me that everything would be fine and support me in the most difficult and terrible moments of life , BUT YOU DID NOT IT ‼️‼️‼️

And your Support Means A Lot To me 🕉 😇💝🌹💝 😇 🕉

And now I"m asking myself a Logical Question ~ What kind of Man and Person DO I LOVE 💟 ⁉️❓⁉️❓⁉️ 💟

I LOVE A PERSON who absolutely does not care whether I am alive or not , how I feel , and what is really happening to me ?

Why do I and MY LIFE have no Value and Significance for my Beloved Man ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️

Amit ji 💜 can support anyone and express his compassion or regret , but for some reason I did not wait , did not see or even heard a single Word of Support from you , Mr . Tiger 🐯 ...

YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND DO NOT EVEN GUESS HOW PAINFUL & TRAGIC IT IS FOR ME ‼️‼️‼️

I sincerely and with all my soul believed that you would Save Me , my dear Amit ji 💝🙏💝

And yes , now I feel not only Alone in this World , but also an absolute Stranger on this Planet Earth 🌎 , and my only Wish now is for a Spaceship to arrive and take me to Another Planet ‼️

💜🎵🌹🆎️🌹🎵 💜

You didn"t even Congratulate me on my Birthday 🎁 on October 7️⃣ th 🎀

You wish everyone a happy Birthday .

But apparently

I don"t deserve your personal Congratulations ...

Okay , never mind ...

In fact , I have no complaints 🌺

🦋🐬🦚🌳🦚🐬🦋

And now about what is happening at the moment in my life ...

As you know , the so-called "Family" ~ fake "mother", "father" and younger "sister", three perverts and jerks , crazy freaks , obsessed with hatred , greed & envy , dreamed of depriving me of my only home , and

I had to defend myself in 2 Courts 😱‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😈

Yes , the last

2 times , the Court closed the Case , but these damned bastards did not calm down , and AGAIN WENT TO COURT FOR THE THIRD TIME , PAID A LAWYER & ARE GOING TO EVICT ME FROM MY APARTMENT TO THE STREET AT ANY COST , LIKE A STRAY DOG 😈‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😱

My room is in a small apartment measuring only three by four meters , and even that is going to be taken away from me ‼️

THESE SNAKES 🐍🐉 believe that I have no right to live as a Person in an Apartment , and should live on the street like a Dog 😱

You can"t even imagine what crazy hatred , poison and evil 😈 these Murderers are filled with ‼️‼️‼️

I am afraid to be even in the same City next to these Moral and Spiritual Freaks 😡🤬🤢

THEY HAVE ALREADY ROBBED ME , STOLEN AND SOLD MY PROPERTY , APPROPRIATED MY MONEY 💰💲, POISONED & DESTROYED MY PRECIOUS LIFE FOR MANY YEARS ‼️😱‼️😱‼️😱‼️

But even this is not enough for them !

Now they dream of Taking away and Selling my Home and Enriching themselves with money 💰 , due to my complete physical destruction ‼️‼️‼️

I know that this is an INCREDIBLE SURREAL WHEN the so-called native "mother" wants to take her daughter"s life , but YES ✅ , THIS IS A TERRIBLE REALITY , LIKE IN A HOLLYWOOD HORROR MOVIE !!!

💰 💵💲💳💲💴 💰

IF I HAD 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ THOUSANDS DOLLARS AVAILABLE NOW ~ I WOULD BUY A NEW HOUSE IN THE CITY , MOVE MY THINGS THERE & BE FREED FROM THE TYRANNY OF THESE BANDITS , AND WOULD BE COMPLETELY SAFE 🕉 ...

OR ALTERNATIVELY ,

I WOULD BUY MY HOUSE FROM THESE FREAKS , AND AFTER RECEIVING THE MONEY , THEY WOULD FORGET ABOUT ME & DISAPPEAR FROM MY LIFE FOREVER ...

🆘️ AFTER THAT ,

I COULD EASILY & CALMLY BE GOING TO MOVE TO LIVE

IN INDIA 🕉 🇮🇳 ♥️

OR ANYWHERE 🙏

MOST IMPORTANTLY , I WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED 🕉

Unfortunately , at the moment I don"t have this money 💰 , and I can"t solve this damn problem ‼️

And when I find myself on the Street in the status of a Stray Dog or Cat , it will be too late to change anything ‼️

MY LIFE WILL JUST END 😰‼️🥶

I received a Postal mail today ~ Notification that they want to evict me from my home !

♥️👑♥️👑♥️👑♥️

And I have a Question ~ WHERE IS GOD 😇 and

MY AMIT JI ♥️ ⁉️

Apparently , I will never know the answer ...

⏰⏳TIME , time decides everything , but I DON"T HAVE IT ‼️

🎵 ♥️🅰️💋🅱️♥️🎵

I HAVE THE MOST CHERISHED DREAM ~ TO MEET YOU AGAIN , MY BELOVED

AMIT JI 💋💋💋...

But apparently my Dream will die under a Layer of Ashes after the Universal Fire that destroyed my LIFE ...

💚 🌸⚘🌸⚘🌸 💚

GOD , I only want THIS NIGHTMARE TO END , SO THAT I CAN BE SAVED AND FLY AWAY TO LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE WHERE

I WILL BE FREE , CALM & COMPLETELY SAFE 😇 🙏 🕉

God , either give me a New Life , a New Home , or end this Horror & take me to Heaven , which I rightfully deserve 🕉 🙏 ‼️

🅰️♥️🍎💚🍎♥️🅱️

My Dearest

Amit ji 👑 , for the last time I beg you ~ SAVE ME 🙏 🕉

✅ If you don"t want to be my Savior , then tell other People of Charity or Benefactors about me who are able to help me and save me ASAP 🙏 ...

You can give these people my Contacts , and they will be able to contact me & to help me ...

⁉️ 💜 ⁉️ 💜 ⁉️

My Dear Big 🅱️ , what do you want to offer me ~ to seek help from other Strangers

or from

OTHER MEN ⁉️ ⁉️

But I DON"T HAVE OTHER MEN ‼️‼️

WHERE DO I LOOK FOR HELP & SALVATION , TELL ME , AMIT JI❓

MY PHONE 📱 NUMBER IS TEMPORARILY BLOCKED BY THE MOBILE OPERATOR , IT IS NOT YET POSSIBLE TO CALL & SEND SMS .

✅ BUT YOU CAN FIND ME & CONTACT ME VIA WHATSAPP , VIBER , TELEGRAM ,

E - MAIL , TUMBLR .

♥️ MY PHONE 📲 :

7 920 897 19 89 .

SONALI RICHARD .

MY E~MAIL :

mj_love9@mail.ru

I am waiting for Your Appearance , Call or Message every minute , every day and night , at any time .

I feel that You have been preparing many times and were going to Call and Write to me , but each time you postponed it for later ...

The X - Hour has come and I can"t wait any longer ...

These bandits come , kick my door , knock and ring the doorbell , blackmail and threaten to deprive me of housing ‼️

I don"t feel safe behind an iron door and two locks ‼️😈

I no longer want and cannot live in Fear , Anxiety and Stress , do you understand , my dear❓

🍎🍒🍓🍓🍓🍒🍎

MY DREAM IS TO LIVE A HAPPY STABLE PROSPEROUS LIFE

IN LOVE 💘💘 , HARMONY & SECURITY ...

I PRAY 🙏 TO ALL THE GODS & ANGELS THAT THIS TIME YOU WILL HEAR ME &

I WILL REACH TO THE VERY DEPTHS OF YOUR LOVING HEART ♥️, MY LOVE 💘 ...

I WILL BE HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE AGAIN 💋...

Thank you for your attention and understanding 🙏

I hug and kiss you with love 💘

Your Babe ♥️

The Merchant of Venice River North

Do I think there are parallels between The Bear and The Merchant of Venice? Yes. ✅

Are those parallels good Sydcarmy signs? Yes. ✅

Am I prepared to do a in depth analysis on those parallels to prove my point? No. ❌

Could I just say that Carmy could be Bassanio, Cicero could be Shylock, Syd could be Portia (the one who saves the day), Jessica could be Sugar, and Tiff and Frank’s wedding could be one of the 3 weddings that mark the happy ending of the story, once the debt has been condoned or deemed unplayable, and the other 2 weddings are gonna be Jess and Richie’s and of course, last but not least, the final act could be the Sydcarmy wedding, and just leave it at that? Of course I could. ✅

The merchant of Venice is about a poor guy who was willing to do anything to win the hand of his beloved’s and dragged down with him a lot of ppl in the process, even when his ❤️ was in the right place.

Moral of the fable: Love can make you do crazy things and friends (found family) are willing risking it all for.

"One half of me is yours, the other half yours - Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, and so all yours."

The Merchant of Venice

I say The Bear is Austenian, and you guys say it's Shakespearean.

OK, let's go full Shakespeare then.

Here you have it. Carmy is a merchant restauranteur and also Italian, so... it fits.
