#seasons 3 and 4 of castle are still my favorite because their angst was so delicious

[dancing-mylife-away]

bones confirmed that one of them knew they had feelings for each other in season 4 (mayhem on a cross my beloved) and then revealed it was booth who knew about his feelings for brennan in the season 4 finale and they didn’t get together til the season 6 finale (and also gotta shoutout the parts of the sum of the whole in this arc)

NCIS: LA made it pretty obvious deeks had feelings for kensi in…..season 3 at least (i think, it’s been a while since i’ve watched it), then they kissed in the season 4 finale, had important conversations about their (not quite yet) relationship and feelings in 5x11 and then didn’t get together til about midway through season 6

on castle, you had a bunch of outsiders (agent shaw, martha, beckett’s friend, the DHS agent, etc) make comments about if there’s something between them, and castle told beckett he loved her in the season 3 finale (after she’d been shot by a sniper ahahahah) AND beckett told her therapist she remembered everything from the shooting in like 4x01 and they didn’t get together til the season 4 finale

the mentalist made it clear that jane had feelings for lisbon but didn’t want to start anything with her til red john was caught (i think that was something like the season 4 finale? i haven’t watched the mentalist since it was airing lol)

anyway and yes that in between time when you know one or both of them have feelings for each other but they aren’t together is sooooo good

Anyway, I am going to be even more annoying in my desire for some sort of season finale "we're in love, we still need time before we're ready to be together, but we're in love" resolution. It's been 84 years.

CHARACTER ASK GAME: Kate Beckett, 1-14 (all) + 25., if it's not a problem. :) Thank you!

I'm not gonna lie, I 100% wanted someone to send me this ask about Beckett! Sorry it took a little bit to answer, I'm on vacation so I've been occupied. But here we go!

1. I like this character because she's not perfect. She has flaws, but she still always tries to do the right thing. She's badass. She's strong. She's independent. She's incredibly well written because real people aren't perfect. There are qualities she has that I share. There are qualities she has that I admire and strive to emulate. And... not gonna lie...Stana's portrayal I'm sure has something to do with it as well.

2. Fav canon thing... um...I love that she was a fan of Castle's before they began working together. I also love that she was the youngest woman in the history of the NYPD to make detective. I also love her motorcycle though we never really saw her ride.

3. Least fav canon thing... that she felt she had to try to be separated from Castle in Season 8 to protect him... also she's not great at communication in relationships, like with Castle. Use your words!

4. Any other media... not gonna lie, I would LOVE a SVU/Castle crossover where Beckett and Benson shared time together, either with Benson as her captain, or as the two captains dealing with the men in their lives or their precincts.

5. First song that comes to mind...Superman by 3 Doors Down

6. Something Beckett and I have in common... we both suck at talking about our feelings.

7. Something the fandom does that I like... use her hairstyle to tell the season and sometimes the episode... does that count? This one was hard, lol

8. Something the fandom does that I despise... say her eyes are green in fics. Also there is a fair amount of Beckett hate inside the Castle fandom...I don't understand it.

9. Beckett and I would probably be okay roommates. I keep to myself the way she does. I'm slightly more messy I think than she'd probably like, but we'd most likely get along ok.

10. I could totally be best friends with Kate Beckett! Similar personalities... similar likes...we'd get along great.

11. Um...no. If I'm dating anyone from the world of Castle, it's Castle himself.

12. Headcanon I have...She made her Detective rank in vice. I'm reasonably sure this was never stated in the show, but it's just a strong feeling I have. She's too good at certain aspects of her job to not have come up through the ranks in vice before she became a homicide detective. Also that she was a chronic dater before Castle came along.

13. Emoji... nothing reminds me of her, but if I had to pick one she probably uses a lot, it would be the facepalm because... well... she did marry Castle. And I feel he requires that one a lot.

14. Fashion aesthetic... leather jackets

15. Favorite ship... uh, Caskett, duh!

16. Least fav ship...Josh. Definitely Josh. He was a serious problem who hung around way too long. And I KNOW Marlowe kept him around solely as the reason Castle and Beckett didn't hook up at the end of season 3 in episodes like LA

17. Ship that I don't hate but am fine with...um, there isn't one. She's Castle's girl. I don't like her with anyone else... I'm not fine with her with anyone else.

18. Canon relationship I admire with another character...I love her relationship with Martha. I also love her relationship with Espo, especially in episodes like Kill Shot. And I LOVE Lanie and Kate screentime!

19. Relationship from Canon that I don't like... I don't know that there is one outside of the guys she dated. Not a fan of her dealings with Sorenson, Demming or Josh, but I feel that's pretty standard.

20. Ideal best friend... Lanie is a pretty great girl best friend. Castle is a pretty great guy best friend... which is good considering they got married.

21. Fav thing to do when writing for Beckett is angst. I can't help it...Stana was SO great with those heavy emotional scenes on the show, I love worrying then with her in my head! Something I don't like writing for her is actual police work. I HATE it so much. Also, the few times I've had to write her with Josh drive me crazy too.

22. Something I like in fics when it comes to Beckett is having her call Castle "Rick" sparingly. He calls her Kate way more than she calls him Rick... it should start like that in fics. Something I don't like... and I touched on it earlier... is when writers say she has green eyes. Her eyes are not green. Also, when writers have her just stay crying over everything... Kate is not a random emotional crier. You have to do a lot to get her to re m that point... she's not going to cry over an argument or something small.

23. Fav pic... oh no. No way can I narrow this down.

24. I'm not sure there is another character from another fandom that reminds me of Beckett. She's pretty one of a kind. She's definitely one of the best written characters in TV history, and she towers over everyone else in my list of favorite characters because she's so unique.

25. My first impression of this character was that she has great hair, awesome leather jackets that I want, and that she's a badass hero who at times I see a lot of myself in. Also that she's a fighter. Now after watching the show beginning to end, my impression was pretty spot on. Though I would add I discovered her softer side (I initially saw the show before they got together, so before the Kate side of her personality was really fleshed out). And she's stronger than I initially realized.

These were fun, thanks for asking!

Sometimes I remember that this funky lil kid's show about fruity Lego people who spin fast canonically features a scene where one character has such an intense case of survivor's guilt that he falls into a downward spiral of self-destruction and implied alcoholism, wasting away in a fight club because he's spent so long fighting bad guys that he doesn't know how to cope with his trauma in a non-violent way.

Like this is a thing that actually happened. I'm not even exaggerating. This is canon. It takes place in the first episode of season 4. Here, I took screenshots to prove it.

"He's gone, but I'm still here. Who cares about honor? It should've been me." Yeah that line lives in my head rent-free.

It's scenes like this that have slotted season 4 - "Tournament of Elements" - as one of my all-time favorite series installments (right up there with Decoded, Master of the Mountain, Prime Empire, Possession, and Hunted).

An evil fight club that steals the magical powers of whomever loses? Hell yeah. A fight-to-the-death roller derby where the leader of the losing team gets sent to work in a noodle factory? Amazing. A bizarrely subversive (and kinda gay) resolution to an otherwise cliche love triangle? Sign me up. A fantastic ensemble cast of supporting characters who are all iconic and memorable in their own right?? A shit ton of angst??? The gayest dungeon reunion scene since Gwaine and Merlin escaped Jarl's castle in season 3 of BBCM???? Yeah. Season 4 does all that and more. God I love Tournament of Elements.

But like. This was just supposed to be a silly funny goofy show designed to sell toys to children. Why does it have to be so angsty???? Not that I'm complaining or anything. Just confused.

Anyway, I'm done talking about Legos on my BBCM sideblog (for tonight, anyway). Your regularly scheduled bullshit will resume as normal.

[smellsfaintlyofvanilla]

Words: 3.9K

-------

You had no time to process what had happened. Ymir was a titan, Christa was Historia, and Zeke has finally made his appearance.

You sighed and leaned against the rope tethers of the pulley system, regaining your bearings on the platform as you were pulled up and over the wall. The battle of Utgard castle had been tough—and many secrets were uncovered.

So, Ymir was the titan that ate Marcel all those years ago... You recounted in your head, sighing as you held your face in your palms. And now Zeke is here. We must’ve been too long without any sign of progress. We’re in big trouble. If we get back without Annie and Eren, it’ll be all over for us. Magath is gonna—

“Y/n!” A cheery voice brought you out of your slump, and you looked over your shoulder to see Sasha standing behind you, an arm outstretched as an offering of help.

You smiled at the sight of your girlfriend, and you slowly rose from your spot on the makeshift elevator, taking her hand and pulling yourself up onto the wall. “Thanks, Sasha.”

As soon as you stood up straight, Sasha lunged at you and wrapped her arms around your shoulders, lifting her feet off of the ground as you leaned all of her body weight onto you.

“I’m so glad you’re okay...! I was so worried!” She buried her face in your neck as she spoke, and you wrapped your arms around her lower back, putting your hands on her butt as support so she could wrap her legs around your waist.

You giggled at her, cuddling closer into her embrace. “I’m alright, I’m okay. There’s no need to worry.”

“I know, but I heard that you and your squad got held up at Utgard castle overnight in the middle of a titan horde, and when we finally got there and saw the tower collapsed, I was so scared! I... I—!” She cried into your neck as you moved a hand to rub small circles on her back.

“I know, I know, but we’re okay now. We had a bit of...” You glanced to the left. Ymir lay unconscious and steaming in the stretcher, a distressed Historia leaning over her and brushing strands of brown locks out of her face. “Unexpected help.”

“Mhm...” She mumbled, leaning into you for support. You stayed like this in silence for a while, enjoying each other’s presence after so long of being separated.

“Hey, lovebirds!” A loud shout caught your attention, and both you and Sasha turned to the source; Connie. “Save that stuff for the dorms! We still have stuff to do!”

“Right...” Sasha muttered, climbing off of you and running towards Connie, helping him haul terrified soldiers over the wall.

You stared in admiration for only a brief moment before your attention turned to your comrades, Reiner and Bertholdt. Reiner’s arm was wrapped up in the torn cloth of Historia’s skirt, and Bertholdt was close by, the two of them standing in a solemn, heavy silence.

You approached them quietly, taking a seat next to Reiner. Neither of you said anything. The sudden appearance of the beast titan, or rather, Zeke, had shaken you all. You had been gone for years, and gave no sign of retrieving the Founding Titan. Not only that, but you had lost Marcel and Annie. No matter what, the situation wasn’t going to end smoothly for you three.

To the right, many of the Scouts had gathered around a blonde Garrison soldier. Hannes—his name popped into your mind, as Eren had mentioned him before, while in the 104th. He seemed to be disclosing something to the others, and they looked on with mixed expressions.

“Do you think this has something to do with Zeke?” You questioned. Reiner kept his face buried in his palm, and Bertholdt turned to you with a sigh.

“Most likely.” The tall man answered. “I mean, we saw him. He’s clearly here. He must be doing something with his spinal fluid. Speeding up the process, perhaps.” He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in anxiety, eyes wide. “We’re in deep shit.”

You didn’t respond to him verbally, offering only a huff in solemn agreement.

The group of soldiers disbanded, though many branched of into separate conversations of worry, wonder, and resentment. As they walked off, Reiner stood up suddenly, eyes still fixated on the ground.

“Eren.” He called out, drawing the attention of the shorter man. “We should talk. You got a moment?”

“Sure, I guess.” He sighed, walking over. You and Bertholdt shared confused and concerned looks. The two of you had long noticed that Reiner had gone a bit off the deep end since arriving at Paradis, so you were wary of what he might say or do next.

“Five years ago, we compromised Wall Maria and launched an attack on humanity.” He spoke, turning his back to Eren, hanging his head in defeat. You looked at Bertholdt, and he mirrored your emotion. Panic.

“I’m the Armored Titan. He’s the Colossal.” He pointed his thumb in your direction when he spoke. “And she’s the Warhammer.”

“What are you talking about? Why are you telling him?” Bertholdt chocked out quietly.

“Reiner!” You whispered sharply, venom dripping from your tone. The three of you had done such a careful job keeping your identities secret from the others, and Reiner just spilled all of it. There was no going back from this.

“We were on a mission.” He continued.

“Stop!” Bertholdt pleaded, but Reiner didn’t waver.

“Our goal was to ensure mankind’s extinction. But now, there’s no need for that. Eren,” He turned to face the shocked and confused boy to his side. “If you want the walls to remain standing, it’s simple. Just come with Bertholdt, Y/n, and me. Do you understand?”

A good look to your left proved that he did not, in fact, understand.

“Understand? What the hell is there to understand?!” He shouted, drawing the attention of a few soldiers. Mikasa stood protectively a short distance away, and Sasha, with her impeccable hearing, turned to face the scene as well. The two of you made eye contact, and your distress must have been evident even at such a distance, because her eyes widened, and she started to make her way over with concern and confusion.

“Listen to me.” To your and Bertholdt’s horror, Reiner kept speaking. “I need you to do exactly as I say. Look, I know this is sudden, but we have to go.”

“Right now?” He exclaimed. “Where would you take me?”

“I can’t tell you. Not yet.” Internally, you started to collect yourself. This wasn’t ending quietly. Bloodshed was dreadfully immanent. “Just think of it as our hometown.” Your eyes widened. He’s just gonna ask Eren? You thought, astounded. After all this, he really thinks Eren is just gonna follow us? What is he thinking?!

“Okay? So what’s it gonna be? Not a bad deal, right? The chance to avert a major crisis?”

“I’m not so sure...” He muttered. You were surprised he didn’t have a stronger reaction, especially for someone as fiery as him. Perhaps he was still in shock, or denial. Either way, they were teetering on the edge of battle, even if you and Bertholdt were the only ones to sense it.

“You guys!” Armin shouted, waving to capture the attention of you, Bertholdt, Reiner, and Eren. “Get a move on, we’re heading out!” Despite that, Sasha pushed right past him, closing in to the conversation, standing still now that she was in earshot. Mikasa was to her left, watching Eren with a dangerously protection glare.

Eren closed his eyes, taking in a deep sigh. It felt as if, for a moment, the world stood still. Damn it, he thought, I didn’t want to believe it...

A distant memory flashed through his head. When Annie had been found out, they had discussed the possibility of Reiner, Bertholdt, and Y/n also being shifters, but they didn’t have proof. Was it really so simple, though?

He opened his eyes and placed a firm hand on Reiner’s shoulder. “You’re just tired. That’s it, right? Help me out here Bertholdt, Y/n. Your nerves are shot. You don’t know what you’re saying.”

“U-Uh, yeah.” Bertholdt fumbled. “It’s the battle fatigue talking!”

“Yeah!” You reaffirmed, luckily being able to exude more confidence than Bertholdt. “You’re just tired. After everything that just happened, I can’t blame you.” You laughed nervously, praying no one saw through your bluff.

“It’s okay, you’re okay.” Between your bluff, and his shock, Eren took the bait. “If you really were the Armored Titan, what’s the endgame here? We wouldn’t be having this conversation in the first place. What’d you expect me to do? Say yes? Let myself be kidnapped just ‘cause you asked politely?” Somehow, you found yourself agreeing with Eren on that last one.

Despite Eren’s nonchalant response, a dead silence overtook the air, and Sasha found it as her cue to step forward.

“Y/n? What’s going on here?” She placed a hand on your shoulder, but as soon as she did, you looked back. She gasped at the sight. You looked petrified.

“Right. Not thinking straight, am I?” He finally gave up his ploy, wide-eyed and sweating bullets. “Barely know what I’m saying here. Must’ve gone off the deep end.”

Eren turned his back to the three of you. “C’mon, let’s go.”

Deafening silence and still air ensued. You did not move. The clouds cleared, and rays of sun shone down on the stone beneath your feet.

“That’s the problem.” Reiner shook. He chuckled, and shadows covered his face. You’d never seen him like this before.

“I’ve been here too long for my own good. Three years of this madness, surrounded by idiots. We were kids. What’d we know about anything?”

You couldn’t help but agree with Reiner on that one. You didn’t want to become a warrior, none of you did. If you knew the atrocities you had to commit in order to have the essence of a warrior, the idea would’ve never crossed your mind.

“Why did there have to be people like this.” He choked, tears pricking his eyes and mouth spread into a wide, ugly frown. “Why? Why did I let myself devolve into such a half-assed piece of shit?”

“It’s too late now.” He lifted his arm out of the cast makeshift cast, and held his arm up, showing the red and bloody bite mark. “Damned if I know what’s right anymore! Who cares? It is what it is. No choice but to face what I’ve done! As a warrior.”

His arm steamed, and shortly after, the skin closed up, blood drying and appearing as if he’d never been injured from the get-go.

“No road left but the one that leads to the end!” He screamed. Eren’s eyes widened as he gasped. He finally understood.

“Reiner! Right now? Here?” Bertholdt yelled back, prepared for anything, despite the beads of sweat that rolled down his face.

“We’re really doing this?!” You echoed, and Sasha looked on with a horrified expression.

“Yes. Right here, right now!” He commanded, marching towards Eren. “We settle this once and for all!”

Mikasa appeared out of nothing in a fraction of second, blades drawn and mind set on murder. She swung her blade at Reiner, who put up his hand defensively as the blade split his hand in half from his fingers all the way to his wrist. She spun around in an instant, and her blade cleanly slashed right across Bertholdt’s neck, who fell to the ground screaming and holding his throat.

He eyes were set on you, and an underhanded swing of her blade slashed a line right across your face. Blood immediately clouded your vision, and you groaned in pain as you were sure you had lost an eye.

She charged at you, determined to finish the job, but her sprint was interrupted by Sasha, who tackled Mikasa at full force, and the sword tumbled out of her grasp as Sasha pinned her down.

“Sasha!” She struggled. “Sasha, move! What are you doing?!” She tried to get up, but Sasha managed to overpower her momentarily, keeping her firmly on the ground.

“MIKASA STOP! PLEASE!” She pleaded at the top of her lungs. Rationally, she knew you were the enemy now, but she’d be damned if she let you die here, after everything the two of you had been through.

“Sasha, you can’t—!”

“I DON’T CARE!” She screamed. “YOU AREN’T GONNA HURT HER!”

Mikasa took quick advantage of Sasha’s emotional state and hurled her off, and she tumbled into a heap a few feet away. With little hesitation, Mikasa reequipped her blades.

But it was too late.

“Bertholdt! Y/n!” Reiner barked, lighting already manifesting around him.

The two of you looked at each other with horrified understanding, and prepared your own transformations.

Sparks of electricity surrounded you, and panic filled adrenaline exploded into flesh. Limbs shot out around you, plus the familiar hardened skin of the Armored, the skinless muscle of the Colossal, and the cloudy white body of your own titan.

Seconds passed, albeit one’s that felt like centuries, and you finally opened your eyes. You stood tall on top of the wall; 15 meters high. To your right, Reiner. And behind him was Bertholdt. Only half formed due to the space, and his lower body ceased to exist. Ribs shot out and dug into the stone, and powerful gusts of steam shot off of his body.

The terrified pawns on the wall stared up at you, mouths agape. But the shock didn’t last long.

The hurricane of steam that came off of Bertholdt started to throw things around, and those who didn’t make quick use of their ODM gear were sent flying. One of those figures, Eren, was quickly swept up by Reiner in the chaos.

It was no use, though. That’s why you weren’t surprised in the slightest when he bit his hand and sparks flew, his transformation queued by a guttural scream of rage.

“Damn you... YOU TRAITORS!”

The Attack Titan formed in Reiner’s hand, fist already drawn back and preparing a strike to Reiner.

In a fraction of a second, you formed a large hammer—your namesake weapon—from hardened titan skin, raising it into the air with a passionate battle cry.

The hammer struck Eren in his flank, and he flew abruptly to the left. You shot Reiner a look, and he looked down in understanding, drawing his arms back in preparation for a charge.

Eren had stood up by the time Reiner had started his charge, and immediately braced for impact—he didn’t have the time to move.

Reiner collided with Eren, and knocked him to the ground effortlessly, his greater size and weight being of good use.

The two wrestled on the ground, and you hesitated to intervene. After all, your weapon was powerful, but imprecise. You couldn’t risk accidentally hitting Reiner. Instead, you turned around, assessing the situation on the wall, where Bertholdt had been unceremoniously shackled.

It seemed no one was brave enough—or rather, stupid enough—to approach the colossal in it’s torrid state, and you didn’t know if you should be frustrated or grateful.

But, out of the corner of your eye, a figure swung. Your eyes widened slightly in amusement as ODM gear shot from tree to tree, approaching you at in impressive speed. Hmph. Guess someone is stupid enough after all. You thought.

You were about to swipe them away without a second thought, but you faltered at the sight of auburn brown hair, loosely tied into a familiar ponytail.

You must’ve gotten a little distracted by the sight, because you were suddenly brought back to attention by the figure landing on your shoulder, the hooks of their ODM gear digging into your shoulder, which you assumed were used as leverage mere seconds ago.

You turned your massive head to look at it, and you saw the figure gasp and tremble at the sight. Sometimes, you forgot how terrifying your titan was. But you perked up for a moment, brought out of your violent trance by a familiar face.

“Y/N!” It was Sasha. “Y/n, what is going on here?!”

You opened your mouth to respond, and it came out in a gravely, deep tone because of your titan form. “Sasha...?”

She released the grapples of her ODM to run up and hug your neck—the best she could, that is, with your immense size.

“Y/n! Come on! Why didn’t you tell me! This... this isn’t you... tell me there’s a reason!!!” She screamed.

Turning back to observe Eren and Reiner’s struggle, you sighed internally. It was just like her to get too emotional in a situation like this.

You turned back to Sasha with a sad look in your eyes. Carefully, you brought your hand up to pinch the hood of her Scout jacket, lifting her and placing her back down on top of the wall.

Slowly, you crouched down to her level, meeting her eye to eye despite the pain it caused you to see the heartbroken look in her eyes. Your hand curled around her back to support her, the only kind of pseudo-hug you could give at the moment. Your thumb gently made its way to the top of her head, and you moved it down slowly to caress her head. Tears streamed down her face, the internal conflict being far too much for her to bear.

But a sudden mass to your lower back brought you out of your intimate moment with her. Pain shot up through your body as you felt your back collide with the ground, and your eyes opened in horror. Eren had somehow managed to best Reiner in their scrimmage—and he was after you now.

You started to form the base of your hammer in your hands once again, but a forceful punch to your jaw stopped it’s formation out of the shock and pain.

Another fist made it’s way to your face—and another, and another, and another. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you could hear noises. Roaring, growling, and, the loudest of them all, screaming. Though, in your state, you couldn’t discern if it was even you or not.

Eren delivered his last punch with a frightening roar of passion, and your neck twisted at an unnatural angle as your head snapped off the titan body with a horrid, bone-grinding sound.

Your battered body fell out of the nape of the titan, using what was left of your strength to emerge at the last second. It was all you had in you, though, and the last thing you heard was your own heavy breathing and distant shouting as your vision started to vade.

Eren stood up tall, towering over your unconscious body, raising his fists in the air with a triumphant roar of victory, the cheers of soldiers filling the air.

Filled with adrenaline and ego, he picked up your limp body in his hand, dangling your body over his already opened mouth.

He was going to eat the Warhammer—right here, right now.

That is, until a foreboding cracking noise brought his attention away from you. It took a few seconds for him to locate the source. The Colossal Titan.

It’s bones snapped and ground against one another, it’s massive body slowly shifting like a collapsing skyscraper. It twisted, turned, and groaned until it slowly lost it’s iron grip on the wall—and it was heading straight for Eren.

It’s body collided with Eren, and the force of the impact was comparable to that of an earthquake. Smoke rose from the ground as dirt was upended, trees crackling and snapping as chunks of rock flew up and around from the impact area.

The force of the impact sent you flying through the air. It didn’t take any hesitation, though, for your girlfriend to go flying through the air, catching your bloody body in her arms and wrapping herself around you to keep you safe as she hit the ground and slid against the dirt.

She groaned audibly from the pain, gritting her teeth in a feeble attempt to numb the painful sensations. But, her pain suddenly subsided when she laid eyes on you.

Your lower half had been all but obliterated. Your legs were completely crushed and squeezed out like an old container of toothpaste, and blood gushed from your stomach. She tried in vain to ignore the sight of your snapped bones twisting at odd angles and protruding through your skin.

Panicked, she brought an ear to your chest, desperately searching for that steady rhythm of life beating in your chest.

She had never taken a deeper sigh of relief than she did now, overjoyed at the slow heartbeat you clung onto. It was weak, yes, but you were still here. With her. That’s all that mattered.

Steam slowly rose from your stomach as your body attempted to heal your wounds. Even in a situation like this, your body managed to find the strength to start recovering.

She cradled your body to her chest, sobbing out in both relief and distress as you bled out onto her. Her clothes were already stained red, and her hands were sticky with morbid crimson, but she didn’t care. She held you close, as close as you could possibly be without her physically crushing you, catching her breath and calming herself to the sound of your shallow breaths.

It was a short-lived moment, though, as a dark shadow suddenly covered the ground, and Sasha froze with fear with you in her arms. By the shadow alone, it was impossible to tell if it was Eren or Reiner, and she didn’t want to check. She curled around you, crying quietly in preparation of getting crushed.

But it didn’t happen. A large finger instead placed itself on Sasha’s shoulder, pushing her out of the way to observe your injured state. Her body trembled fearfully as she turned to face it, and was met with the Armored Titan.

She wasn’t sure what to expect next, really. It could’ve crushed her like an ant and ran away with you, or worse, separated her and run off with just you.

She didn’t want to be apart from you. Even if it made her a terrible soldier, even if it made her treasonous, dishonorable, and irredeemable, she would stick with you, no matter whose side you were on. Right or wrong, she was staying with you.

Reiner hesitated for a moment. He couldn’t just bring a Paradis soldier back, it would be a huge problem down the line. But, his eyes glanced to you. He was certain that if he left Sasha there without you, you would never have forgiven him.

So, he cut his losses and gently scooped the two of you up in his hand, holding you and her close to his chest as he started running—god knows where to. She caught a glimpse of a Bertholdt in his other hand, as well as Ymir, still unconscious and strapped to her stretcher.

And Eren. Somehow, Reiner had the severely injured and incapacitated shifter quite literally in the palm of his hand.

Sasha knew that once people slowly started waking up, the fighting would only continue, but she savored this moment. Even if you were bleeding and hurt, your face looked peaceful. As odd as it sounded, she felt content with you in this moment.

As Reiner ran further and further from the wall, Sasha glanced over his shoulder, watching as the faces of her former comrades as they faded into the background.

I wish somebody cared for me the way Sasha cares about Y/n in this fic lmaooo

Masterpost of My AUs

So, I have a ton of these that I never posted about...

Here’s info on ALL of my AUs, whether I’ve posted about them or not! Mostly in order of when I made them! I’ll provide a place for a link with each, if there’s no link I haven’t posted about it yet.

Future AU: (Mostly) adheres to canon. My fankids and their adventures, along with the shenanigans the ninja get up to when married! It’s polyninja, but the ninja are married to their female love interests too and the girls are married to eachother. Also contains Destinyshipping, Garmaclouse and Badboyshipping. Consists of two parts: Right after Lilly, the ninja’s youngest is born; and thirteen years later, when most of them are old enough to be training. Learn more here.

Serprincetine AU: Follows a completely different story than canon. 100% a polyninja AU. All of the ninja are serpentine: Kai is the prince of the Hypnobrai, Cole is a Constrictai training to become a Peacekeeper’s Guard, Jay is a Venomari mechanic, and Zane is a Fangpyre mercenary hired to kill Kai before his 18th birthday. A Peacekeeper is someone who’s supposed to keep the peace between the five tribes. Garmadon, an Anacondrai, is the current Peacekeeper, while Kai is his successor. Garmadon is going to die on Kai’s 18th birthday, so Lloyd hates Kai. Zane was hired to kill Kai so the Fangpyre could start a war. There’s a lot to unpack and it’s also a soulmate AU, so I can’t fit everything here. Learn more here.

Vampire Hunter AU: Follows a completely different story than canon. Lavashipping and Technoshipping. Jay and Cole are vampire hunters who have been hired by their village’s leader, Wu, to kill the vampires living in the castle above the town: Kai and Zane. Due to a long and harsh blizzard, Cole and Jay are trapped with the extremely hot vampires in the very nice castle. They can tolerate it I guess. Learn more here.

I Obliterate My Favorite Character for No Reason Other Than Angst AU/Kai Dies AU (first one is the official name/tag): Starts out same as canon but deviates in Season 3. No ships. Kai says in Season 4 that he wanted to die instead of Zane, so I grant his wish. Except he doesn’t come back because he’s made of flesh and bone. Read more here.

Everything’s Alright AU: Follows a completely different story than canon. No ships. Nothing bad happens, so the ninja can just live normal lives. Read more here.

Kai Smith is Now Kai Chen and He’s Evil AU/Kai Chen AU: Slightly deviates from canon. Kinda plasmashippy. Essentially Kai and Skylor swap places, with Chen adopting Kai and Skylor’s mom adopting Nya after Ray and Maya die and Chen and his wife divorce. Kai fucking dies, then tries to help his dad wreck Nya and Skylor, then dies again. Read more here.

Actor AU: Follows a completely different story than canon. No ships.  The characters are all actors, simply playing parts in a TV show. Most of them have different backgrounds and slightly different personalities. It has very little development, and it doesn’t really have much of an actual storyline. Learn more here.

Jay Suffers AU: Starts out same as canon but deviates in Season 4. No ships. All of the ninja except Jay die at some point and Jay is suffering. Ed and Edna place him in a mental hospital after he attempts suicide and he befriends Harumi. Mostly focuses on his time in the mental hospital, and I try to make it wholesome sometimes to offset all of the angst. Read more here.

Ninja Nya AU: Slightly deviates from canon. Contains plasmashipping, a hint of lavashipping in season 3 and 4 and phoenixshipping. Everything’s the same except Kai and Nya swap places: Nya is the ninja of Fire, and Kai is Samurai X/the ninja of water. Read more here.

Oni and Dragons AU: Slightly deviates from canon. Contains plasmashipping and Jaya, probably. Maybe Wusako, if you squint. And possibly glaciershipping to accompany the plasma. Oni and Dragons were created to serve humans like the FSM. Wu is also a full human. Wu and Garmadon aren’t brothers; rather, Garmadon is Wu’s former bodyguard. Garmadon is an Oni, and like most is sick of being bossed around by what he considers a powerless species. He and every Oni elemental master lead a revolt to gain their freedom, while Wu and the Dragon elemental masters fight against them. The Oni win, but Garmadon wants to completely control the humans and Dragons. He gets banished to the Underworld. Wu started training Morro, who was half-Oni and half-Dragon, to foster peace between the warring species. Morro gets killed by an Oni. Wu later starts training two half-Dragons (Kai and Nya), two half-Oni (Cole and Jay) and a Nindroid (Zane) for a second attempt. They later find Lloyd, who is Wu and Misako’s illegitimate child (Misako is still married to Garmadon) and 100% human. Dragons and Oni are both very protective species by nature, so Kai, Nya, Jay and Cole all become very protective of Lloyd. They learn about Morro much sooner, since Wu actually honors him and his death with a small altar and talks about him. They raise Morro from the dead, since he’s still the Chosen One (because Lloyd doesn’t deserve that burden). He kicks Garmadon’s ass and everything else is just shenanigans with the ninja, Morro and redeemed Garmadon. Wu actually acknowledges that he is not a good parent. The ninja are all adults because Wu learned from his mistakes like he should have in canon. Read more here.

The Pirate and His Dragon AU: Follows a completely different story from canon. The entire purpose of this AU is plasmashipping. This AU combines the popular concept of Pirate! Jay with my Half-Dragon! Kai because I thought it would be cool. Mostly just slice-of-life as they do pirate and half-dragon things. Read more here.

Garmadon’s Servant Kai AU: Slightly deviates from canon. Canon ships (Jaya and Llorumi). Kai starts training with Wu, only to soon reveal he’s been in cahoots with Lord Garmadon the whole time. He remains a traitor and nuisance until season 3, in which he pretends to chill out due to Garmadon becoming good. He slowly warms back up to the ninja until season 8, in which he’s the Quiet One instead of Harumi (Lloyd gets the healthy romance arc he deserves) and Kai essentially completely destroys any more chances of reconciliation with his former teammates and sister.

Book 4 Overall Thoughts

Just my general thoughts on the season

If I am being honest, this was my least favorite season... of course being Infinity Train, it was still fantastic and I loved it!! Being a a prequel book was very cool! It was definitely a nice wind-down after Book 3, although I can see it wasn’t intended to be the end. Hopefully they can put out some comics or even get picked up for more seasons someday.

so, the characters: Ryan - I love him! I feel like there is definitely something beyond just big family angst going on there in his life. His conflict between wanting to be taken seriously while also coming to terms with the facts that his dreams were harder to achieve than he realized was very well-done. And he really does mean well, even if he tends not to look before he leaps. I appreciate that despite his own feelings, he wasn’t shamed over not going to college, and that he is still able to pursue his dreams.

Min-Gi - Oh, he was relatable in his worries about just going along. I am going ot be honest, I was sort of hoping he had moved on from music, because it would have been interesting to see the message of trying to find out who you are and that it’s ok to change your mind about what you want do. I suppose we did get a bit of that though, and I was glad to see he was able to decide to pursue his dreams with Ryan in the end.

Their relationship was very interesting. I don’t think I ship it romantically, but it could certainly be read as a growing romance, like Jesslake. They both missed the other and felt like the other had moved on, and had to move past trying to act like they were happy in their own life. I am glad they were able to rebuild their relationship over the course of the series, and were able to pursue their dreams together. I was thinking it might be a sadder story about growing apart, and while that is relatable it was sweet they worked out it. IT always does a great job with the dynamics.

Kez - Oh Kez. At first, I couldn’t get a read on her, and I found her a little annoying. But then I felt bad for her as a realized she didn’t mean any malice, and how her ‘friends’ constantly treated her like the joke. She genuinely comes to care about the boys despite her ulterior motives, and her development was sweet to see. And I did get a lot of laughs from her.

Supporting characters - Well, it was very interesting to see Amelia, One, and the Cat, but I suppose they might not count as supporting in anthology series. This is where the Book sort of lost me, as it was mostly just “car of people dislike Kez”... a subplot which got wrapped up neatly with the exception of character who was Team Rocketed away. The Docent from the Art Gallery was great though, so freaky.

The Plot -  If Book 1 was change, Book 2 was identity, and Book 3 was empathy, I would say this one was forgiveness. Forgiveness towards yourself and others. Ryan and Min both forgive the other for the way they hurt them, but also themselves for the flaws that led them to their separate paths. Kez needs to ask forgiveness from the Denizens, but also forgive herself over the events with Jeremy. And Morgan... that was interesting that we don’t see a reconciliation with her and Kez. The boys were right that it was wrong of her to take out her pain over Jeremy leaving on Kez, who was only trying to help. Her saying she was willing to talk about it seems like a step in a better direction when she can process it though. And it was important that even if you didn’t mean to hurt someone they might still feel hurt, but also that just because you did hurt them doesn’t make you bad. You just have to accept that people might view something different than you and be willing to listen to them.

And Amelia’s showing up in a few parts was again, very cool.

My favorite Car/Ep was probably either the Art Gallery Car or Castle Car for the cool locations and strong emotions they had.

The Pig Baby Car was my least favorite, because I just... found Pig Baby so off-putting and I hate the door being his mouth. bless JK Simmons for trying though.

Overall another amazing book!

Fic Writer Asks

tagged by the lovely @vampcoffeegyrl23 I am soooo sorry this has taken over a week! I promise I was just busy away from my computer and using mobile is not the way to go about answering these! 😅

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

6 on AO3 and 6 on ffn.net. I haven't used the ffn.net account in years, i.e 2013 (and therefore my user name isn't even the same) so those 6 stories are different from my AO3 ones. I don't post most of what I write and now that I'm in my mid-20s with a few published papers behind me - I'm much more confident in my ability to write a cohesive and interesting story so expect more posted!

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

17,425 words which isn't bad for only 6 fics with two of those stories having additional chapters coming soon.

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

On AO3? Just 1, which is The Flash and by extension Stargate SG-1 for the crossover I did for Snowells Week this year. Counting ffn.net that's 3 more with Castle, Doctor Who, and Firefly. Over my lifetime of writing fic for myself? I think only 7 more. Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Sanctuary, Harry Potter, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: TNG, and Left 4 Dead. Left 4 Dead isn't much of a fanfic but I did use the zombie types as place holders in an original story until I developed my own.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I'll Be Waiting (The Flash - Caitlin/Harry)

Well... This is Awkward (The Flash - Caitlin/Harry, Frost/Nash, Caitlin/Nash, and Frost/Harry)

Rewind Time (The Flash - Caitlin/Harry)

Through the Gate (The Flash/Stargate SG-1 - Caitlin/Eowells)

Harvest Season (The Flash - Caitlin/Harry)

5. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

I don't write angst much and I haven't posted many stories yet but of the ones posted I guess "I'll Be Waiting" is the angstiest.

6. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

"Well...This is Awkward" has a pretty happy ending with everyone alive and together. Or maybe "Twilight of the Gods" because ReverseSnow/ReverseFrost happens and there is hope of bringing everything lost back and balance the universe again. I guess it depends on your definition of what constitutes as a happy ending. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you've written?

I've only written one - The Flash/Stargate SG-1 crossover. I don't normally think about crossovers just because the shows I watch are so vastly different they can't really work or they are already in the same universe with the canon crossovers. I'm also not always a fan of reading them because they can get chaotic quick and characterization takes a dive in order to fit characters into other universes/situations. I admire anyone who can write it well though!

As a side note: I did have a thought about a Snowells into the Arkham universe fic just because I have been replaying the Batman Arkham video games which I might give a shot at.

8. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

👀I wrote one smutty story years ago and it's terrible because I was young and naïve. I haven't tried recently but I'm not opposed to giving it a shot now. I have a few ideas on a prompt list I have for Snowells already so it's really a matter of when will I get to it!

9. Do you respond to comments. why or why not?

I do when I can! I like to get feedback from my readers and having an open dialogue of what they liked or disliked is important for me! I want to know what my audience enjoyed and what to improve on! Responding to them also shows them I saw that they said and appreciate what they had to say! 🥰

10. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Surprisingly - no, even on my old and terribly written stuff. I'm perfectly open to criticism but hate? If you don't like it, you don't like it but others might. Why spend the time spreading negativity when the world has enough of it?

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

As far as I know - no.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No but given enough time I could probably translate mine. It would be grammatically atrocious because I rarely translate from English into any of the languages I know. It's normally the other way around! I'd definitely need a Beta who is fluent to correct my mistakes.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No but it's definitely something I'd try! I co-wrote an original story with a few friends of mine years ago in high school and enjoyed it. I like the idea of getting to talk and bounce ideas off of someone who enjoys the same fandoms and character as me! I haven't really done that since I grew apart from one of my friends from high school who I did that with.

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

What kind of question is this? Do people actually have an ultimate ship? Is that even possible? I have ships from several fandoms and sometimes multiple ships within a fandom. Most of the time I have a main ship from a fandom but that doesn't mean I discount any of the other ones that I or others enjoy as well. I'll throw out a few that I still got out and read for in order of what I read most often (either new stuff or re-reads) to what I read occasionally, at least according to my AO3 favorite tags.

Snowells (all variations) - The Flash

Jack O'Neill/Sam Carter - Stargate SG-1

Helen Magnus/Nikola Tesla - Sanctuary

Harry/Hermione - Harry Potter

William Murdoch/Julia Ogden - Murdoch Mysteries

Phil/ Melinda - Agents of SHIELD

Kathryn Janeway/Tom Paris - Star Trek: Voyager

Kate Fleming/Steve Arnott - Line of Duty

I will occasionally go check what kind of fics the fandom writes when I start a show just out of curiosity. Sometimes you can tell if there is fandom hate between ships by doing so and I know to steer clear, especially if I ship a lesser ship/non-canon ship. Also - the number of canon-divergence or rewrites will tell you if the shows writers start being ridiculous *cough* The Flash *cough* and whether it's worth getting attached at all.

15. What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

Hoo boy. I have a drive full of them. Most of which aren't even close to being posted. My biggest one right now is a complete re-write of The Flash dealing with a what if scenario of Earth-1 Tess Morgan being pregnant the night that Thawne kills them both and he chooses to birth the kid rather than let it die with her. It's set a few years earlier (so 18/19 years stuck in the past rather than the original 15 that the show has it) so the kid isn't Jesse but it changes how season 1 plays out and definitely how season 2 plays out when Harry finds out about the kid while dealing with the Jesse/Zoom issue. Plus it's Snowells too and I want to deal with Barry's mistakes and the consequences of them better than the show did since the show just kind of brushes them off? For some reason? I wanted things to have a little more consequence because some of the mistakes made are egregious and then they acted like it never happened which bothers me. It's a beast of a project and I'm - unfortunately- a perfectionist and a completionist. I'm thinking an episode per chapter rewrite but right now it's in bits and pieces and a lot of notes on how episodes would play out differently with an added character and dynamic.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and scene positioning. I can write out the dialogue for a story quickly with the bare bones of the scene and movements playing out. After that, it takes me ages to expand the scene and fill in the bits between speaking lines because I can see the piece play out in my head and putting that to paper accurately and engagingly without being overwhelming is a multi-layered process.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Some of this is normal, you know, like grammar and spelling. My brain moves faster than I type so words or bit of phrases end up missing and I later have to fix it. I'm also a Southerner who grew up watching a ton of British shows so a lot of the way I phrase things isn't commonly used anywhere. I have to spend a lot of time double checking things like that. I think my biggest one is not knowing how to end stories satisfactorily. I haven't posted many fics because it's hard to post them when you don't know how to wrap everything up.

18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

It depends on whether it's an established part of a character or story and whether or not I'm comfortable with the language. Like with Sherloque - it's established he'll say something in French and then repeat it in English. I took 3 years of French so I'm comfortable writing it and it fits the character and situation. But take Cisco, we know he speaks Spanish, but it's never really shown in the show. So fics that I've read where he breaks into Spanish can be distracting as we've never seen him do it - even in dire circumstances. I also never took Spanish in school and I only know rudimentary pieces (I took Mandarin and Latin instead), so I'm unlikely to use it in any fic I write unless the circumstances warrant it (say - Cisco is talking to a grandparent or a meta struggling with English).

But again, it depends on the situation, what we know of the character, and how comfortable I am with the language enough to get it correct and in character. Any fic writer who can get the situation and character down while using a secondary language, and not make it distracting deserves applause!

19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Hit me with a hard one why don't you? 🤣 I think it was Stargate SG-1 or maybe it was Stargate Atlantis. You're asking me to think back over a decade and a half ago to when I started reading and writing fic at the tender age of 7 or 8. I'm fairly certain it was one of those two fandoms and it might've been a crossover. I do remember writing part of it on an old Gateway computer running Windows '98 with a glass monitor that was mine and my sisters. The other half was written on an electric type-writer that I owned because this was before laptops were widely available and affordable.

20. What's your favorite fic you've written?

It's a tie between "Twilight of the Gods" and "I'll Be Waiting". "Twilight of the Gods" because I got to show off a few of my degrees (History and Classics, I couldn't shoehorn in my others but they are science related and that doesn't quite fit that story). "I'll Be Waiting" is a favorite because it's a big middle finger to whoever / collective group wrote The Flash season 7. I'm still pissed off at how the Wells plotline was dealt with and let's not get started on the whole Chillblaine/Kramer/Forces as kids of WA plots (ewwwwwww 🤢). I'd need a whole new post to talk about how tired I am of the WA kids showing up (because screw how that'll effect the timeline, right?) and the reliance on the future to drive what decisions are made (because, again, screw how bad that would be for the timeline - it's not like we have seen how much that effects things before right?) 😒

Phew.....That was longer than I expected, honestly, but a lot of fun!

Tagging whoever wants to talk about their works because you are all wonderful people who should get a chance to share!

[petekaos]

What did you think about the last episode!!

hi hi! so uhhh... this is going to get long and i’ve combined like 10 other asks i want to address, so your ask may be answered here! if you want Rahul’s Take On The 2gether Finale, then brace yourself.

...I didn't really like the last episode, I feel like it could've been a lot better/more emotional

I dunno if it's because I didn't like the last 2 episodes but even though the show literally finished I'm not emotional? The last episode I felt actually really happy watching was ep 9 but now I'm just 'ok, that show finished.' I'm sad bc I thought I would have a stronger reaction to the ending and them getting back together but I'm just meh :/

Really don't want to sound like those annoying people but damn really no kiss scene

I liked the ending, it was okay I guess but gmmtv better prepare for a shitstorm bc so many people didn't lololol

Honestly the best and well written episodes were ones where they still weren't a couple, like 8 and 9 were amazing

Although the finale was good, I feel llke in the future when I want to rewatch my favorite moments from this series, I will go for the first 10 or so episodes more often than not. It kinda feels like 2gether peaked around episodes 7-10, which is perfectly fine!! It was all in all a great series that did what it wanted to do and I’ll always cherish it but, I probably won’t rewatch much of the last two episodes

They made pam even worse!! Before she had her talk with tine anyway!!

My thoughts on the finale: could've been a lot better, could've been a lot worse

2Gether really felt like a giant inflatable castle that was carefully blown up for the past 12 weeks only to let it rapidly and poorly deflate in the end

The ending was fine and was expected but for me it's underwhelming in the sense that the past episodes, especially 4, 8 and 9 were really written in comparison so the finale is kinda meh bc I knew there was gonna be a happy ending. But still the YouTube comments and what some people on tumblr are saying is ridiculous, I don't want to even think about Twitter but imo I don't think any of gmmtvs other shows can top dbks ending like that ending was perfect,

i honestly love that 2gether focused so much on the story and the emotion and became so successful without all the usual fan service. i hope the whole industry takes something away from that! but i still felt like the finale was a little emotionally stunted when it came to tine/sarawat. i just wanted a big YES, I CHOOSE YOU moment, and tine's reappearance and the bracelet scene just didn't do it for me. you know what would have, though? a kiss. or a hug, or holding hands, or something sweet

okay, my friends! here is my opinion on the 2gether finale first, and then i’m gonna address what i personally hold of the more negative response the fandom has shown. i generally thought the finale had... a solid ending. i went into it with absolutely no expectations apart from sarawat’s song and a happy ending, because i knew it would be messy and not as good as ep 4 or 9 etc, considering the sheer amount of open storylines that were left to be resolved in one episode. i knew it would polarise the fandom--but i personally thought the ending was fine! a bit cliche, a bit rushed, but it was okay and it was a good enough ending for me to put 2gether behind me, the first season at least. the bracelet scenes and shots were amazing, the song was incredible (although i wish they would have had sarawat sing a bit more), the conversation pam and tine had was solid as well! there were a lot of things i liked about the finale and bright and win killed their solo acting as always. however, there are some things i wanna get into more detail about that i feel could have been done better, not only as a finale but as a show itself.

time allocated for the storylines. or: plotlines in general. this has been my bone to pick ever since episode 10. not gonna lie, this wasn’t good, especially from ep 10 onwards. there were so many storylines and plotlines that were dragged out further than necessary, and so many plotlines that should have started earlier. best example for this is mil and phukong, the mil redemption storyline should have started in ep 10 and should have had him be sincere for once, and the mil/phukong storyline should have actually made sense from the beginning and started in ep 11 at the latest. the mantype storyline should have also started a bit earlier than that and given us an explanation as to why type was crying at the retreat. however, mantype did pull it off!

writing! this ties in with the first point. the writing felt a bit inconsistent in the last two episodes and it’s a pity, really, that this is one of the downfalls :/ all the actors in this series, from the mains (bright, win, mike, toptap, frank, drake) to the side characters (gunsmile, love, gigie, film, etc.) are such good actors and it’s unfortunate that the last three episodes were a bit :// in terms of writing and plotlines. they all did the best they could with what was written and that... yeah.

conflict. this has to do with the first two points. the finale felt rushed. that’s something that i don’t think anyone really can argue? and i expected that, so i wasn’t too disappointed by it or anything. obviously it would have felt rushed considering the fact that they had to wrap up 3 or 4 episodes’ worth of storylines in one episode, which was a blunder on the writers’ part. the conflict fell flat, then. if they had had pam come in earlier and had tine and sarawat spend more time away from each other, we would have gotten an explosive reaction. i really do think that after they got together for real, the writers struggled to find conflict to keep the story going, jumping from tine’s insecurities to mil to pam for no reason whatever. i think it would have been much better done if we had mil as an antagonist wrapped up and on the road to redemption in ep 10 and had pam come in there, with tine’s insecurities as a b plot. i feel that would have been a bit more gripping. but, hey, guess that’s just me!

order of filming. this has to do with people saying that brightwin’s chemistry was off in the finale. i don’t think it was off, per se, but it was definitely lacking when we compare it to their chemistry in ep 4 or 9 or 10, y’know? that’s because i believe the finale was filmed earlier, when bright and win were still getting to know each other and figuring out how well they could improv. and they can improv, from what we’ve seen! so there really is nothing i can say apart from the fact that it’s a bit disappointing that they decided to film such a pivotal scene at the beginning. if it had been filmed in the end, it would have definitely been better!

flashbacks. the finale needed all the time it was gonna get, and i am disappointed by the amount of flashbacks they used, honestly. i would have cut down on the number of sarawatine flashbacks and used them sparingly when they reunited, because that just... makes sense and evokes emotion in the viewer, you know? the only flashbacks that served well were type’s view of everything and phukong and mil, because they were new. it just... felt a bit inauthentic.

pam. or: the girls in general. there is nothing i can do here but SCREAM. pam should have come in way earlier and replaced mil as the centre point of conflict for ep 11 and 12 to have been as good as the rest of the show, or ep 4 and 9 at least. her character fell so flat and the conflict she brought with her fell so flat as well, honestly. the girls should have been done better--more of earn and sarawat! more of pear! they could have tied into the plot effortlessly!

mil and phukong x mil. yeah this is a... whole ass bulletpoint, unfortunately. call me a clown all you want for expecting him to have at least a half assed redemption arc in the finale but goddamn was that... not good. really bitter over the fact phukong was straight up okay with being a “replacement” for tine even though... that doesn’t even make sense. i just... yeah, this wasn’t good. i feel super bad for frank and drake because they deserve a well written show or at the very least a well written storyline for all of their chemistry and work they put in, considering the fact that they are so so young. i could go on about a good mil arc for ages but i just... yeah i’m writing a fic, so y’all will see.

the reunion. this stems from the flat conflict and the rushed-ness of it all, but yeah. it wasn’t particularly hard-hitting, but i still enjoyed it because it’s sarawat and tine. this has to do with when they filmed as well, and just... because the angst didn’t start early enough for it to hit home. and i really do wish we’d had a scene after that with the both of them, alone. a lot of their things happen with a lot of people around them... and nah.

one year later. bro. bro. bro. the music club thing was cute! but i would have just... loved to see them alone, y’know? a scene of them being alone and intimate, just sitting next to each other on the couch or at a football game or sarawat continuing bringing the cheerleaders snacks, even a year later. them going to another concert. anything where they were just... alone. i wanted to see them together! we got that with mantype and we even got that fucking... scene on the roof where mil and phukong were just fuckin around? yeah? i would have loved to see that with sarawat and tine so much. (also btw pretty sure the rooftop scenes with mil and phukong is also where drake and frank took this photo and it made me so happy dhsndh like... the shot where mil took his hand off phukong’s eyes? i called it immediately and my partner was like ???)

intimacy. chemistry. the biggest thing everyone is talking about. now comes the part that y’all all wanted to know if you’ve been reading this far lmfao, my take on the fact that was no kiss in the finale! and my take is... i expected there to be no kiss in the finale somewhere deep within, and honestly i’m fine with not having a kiss. my only problems with all of this are first of all, that we didn’t get a proper kiss in the entire series and had sarawat kissing tine one-sidedly. secondly, i would have loved verbal intimacy as well! an i love you, or y’know, some hand holding, anything! this is also due to the fact that i believe the series was filmed relatively early on. i just wish... again, that they would have been alone one year later and we could have just seen them being domestic, as we have already seen them!

so those are some of my thoughts on the finale. considering the fandom’s response... i can see why people are upset or disappointed but i don’t think it’s, like, that justified to throw the whole show away as well. yeah, the ending wasn’t perfect, but if you’ve enjoyed the show as a whole... maybe it’s okay, y’know? like, personally, i don’t think i’m ever going to rewatch the finale. but i do love the earlier episodes and i am gonna watch them back at some point, probably! it’s all well and good and valid to criticise the lack of intimacy and kissing in the finale i guess, but if you’re a straight girl then maybe... watch your words. 2gether has portrayed a wonderful love story between two men and to see straight people throw it away as “bromance” or say it’s the “straightest bl of all time” or whatever because of the lack of kisses is kind of hurtful. i am completely open to discussing this with lgbt people, mlm specifically, and you can come talk to me about your thoughts if you’re a straight woman as well. all i’m asking for is that you maybe show a little bit of empathy and respect, y’know? i also do think 2gether peaked around episode 9/10 and i’m fine with that! it gave me so much more than characters and relationships--it gave me the fandom and everyone here and words cannot express how grateful i am for all of you. maybe the last few episodes were poorly written and the finale wasn’t everything y’all hoped for... but i did and do love this show. i cannot wait to see where brightwin go next.

Matt & Karen ;)

Okay, finally answered this one. lol Didn’t meant to take so long with it.

1) when they first intrigued me

Naturally like Matt I was intrigued right away about Karen. I needed to know how she didn’t commit this murder that definitely looked like her doing even though you knew it couldn’t have been. Since Matt using his heightened listening could tell she was being sincere. He knew she was innocent. He then lets her stay at his apartment & there’s something really beautiful about how they put that scene together. I also noticed they had chemistry. I was ready to ship it if they went there.

Matt & Karen 1x01 Scenes

2) when I started to ‘ship’ them (sometimes this is different if you think about it)

For the first season, I think it took til this moment to fully ship them because they didn’t always share as much screentime as you would have thought they would based on the pilot. When Claire came into the picture, it started to seem like that was the ship the show was pushing. I really liked Claire tbh, I just didn’t ship her with Matt because I didn’t feel the instant spark like I did with him & Karen. I liked that Karen showed up to his apartment in 1x11 & tried to get him to open up. It’s with this moment in 1x12 tho that my heart truly melted once again for them & I let myself ship it because Matt has a real moment where he’s opening up to Karen. And it just felt like, finally! Matt never opens up & he did here by choice. Big character growth moment for him.

I Can’t Do This Anymore

3) when I knew they were OTP status (as in there was literally no other ship for them I would want)

To be honest, I knew it before this moment. I enjoyed their scene in 1x13. It felt like obvious foreshadowing that they were happening in S2 & I was totally ready for it. That all said, this scene made it clear that 1. Karen wanted Matt to realize that she’s not an idiot & knows there’s something going on with him & 2) that she was there for him if he needed her. Also aww that hug when she comes in. They’re still keeping things from each other (she almost told him about killing the guy!!) but they’re getting closer & she makes it clear she cares about him. I was so ready to see them get together soon.

4) Favorite quote

“It’s over your face, you can’t hide that. You love him. […] You sit here & you’re all confused about this thing, but you have it. You have everything. So hold onto it. use two hands & never let go, you got it?” - Frank Castle, 2x11

It had to be this quote. I just love this scene so much. Frank is all about the no bullshit about stuff, especially with Karen, which I love. He is such a Matt/Karen shipper. hehe

Karen & Frank at the Diner

5) Favorite scene

A tie between their two big kiss scenes because omg. they were both just so well done. The first one in the rain is all sorts of sexy & you can just feel the sexual tension between them. When he trails his finger up her arm & you can tell she’s totally turned on in that moment & he hasn’t even kissed her yet! Honestly though, I can’t blame her. lol Also, she’s so adorable when she instantly agrees to go out to dinner with her. Girl had clearly been waiting for it. XD And their date kiss scene! Matt is so presh when he says he doesn’t want to go inside her apartment because he didn’t want to ruin a perfect evening since he tends to ruin things. Everything about that scene was just so adorable & gushworthy. I can’t. Their whole date was cute too.

Rain Kiss

Date Kiss

6) Scene that made me cry/sad

I feel like I gotta mention their scene in 2x11 because while I do appreciate Matt showing Karen concern about being shot at & wanting her to be safe, I can’t help being like Karen thinking “Uh… where was this concern before? Oh, I forgot, we were too busy kissing Elektra’s ass.” (I’m sorry but the way they introduced her & onwards made it so I didn’t like her) Karen doesn’t always do things in a very level-headed way but him chastising her made me make a face. Since she only did cuz she had to try & cover for his ass not helping with the case. Him not caring enough is why Karen got so close to Frank tbh. I get why she told him that she wasn’t his to protect. That tension was rough to watch. That said, I do love angst & that scene certainly fit the bill. I realize by how I described this this should probably be under what made me angry since it did but it was also really sad to see them so distant. Also I didn’t really know what to put here. lol 

7) Scene(s) that pissed me off

Okay, scenes that piss me off are specifically in 2x08. I get it that Elektra got hurt (people who ship them I’m sure are gonna be like “Hey now! Don’t blame her!”) but the way Matt was progressively doing a shitty job as a lawyer & letting down both Foggy & Karen in the process makes it so I can’t be okay with Elektra entering his life again. Karen comes by his apartment to get him to come to court & who does she see in his bed? Elektra. We know it’s cuz she’s hurt but poor bb Karen sees this as her sorta boyfriend possibly cheating on her. I think she handled the situation with grace. It’s when we get at the courthouse & Matt pushes on a big show that ultimately loses Frank’s case by making him snap, that’s when things really blow up. And honestly? I don’t blame Karen or Foggy’s reaction. Yes, Frank is a criminal. He’s a killer. But they were trying to do what they felt was right & Matt basically didn’t give a shit until he made it about himself. The breakup felt justified.

8) Favorite underrated moment

I had actual underrated moments in mind like when they’re being all coupley & cute but couldn’t get the screencaps so I’m just gonna say this - Matt finally telling Karen that he was Daredevil feels like it’s something worth mentioning on here. He’s truly opening up to her in this moment by letting her know his secret. I still haven’t caught up w/ The Defenders stuff so I don’t know how things went down between them there but regardless this is still a big moment too.

Matt Reveals He’s Daredevil

9) Song that makes me think of them

I actually made a video for them once to Can’t Pretend by Tom Odell because I think it’s perfect for them so that’s pretty much my answer. lol

10) Favorite video of them

(purely because this is one of the first really good videos that I’d seen for these two & it just always stuck with me. I love this song & always have)

No one has ever seen Takashi Shirogane without a hat on his head, or so the legends say.

...

“I tell you what,” Matt said after Keith told him he'd figure out Shiro's secret, the real secret. “If you find out the true story behind Shiro's hat before your initiation ceremony, I will personally pay your dues until you graduate.”

Keith's eyes glinted as he took another long swing from his beer. The steep price of brotherhood had been one of the few reasons he'd been wary about pledging. “What if I don't?” He asked suspiciously. It hadn't taken long to work out that Matt was an agent of chaos. No matter how confident he was in himself, he had to make sure it was worth the risk.

Matt smirked. “You have to wear a Santa hat to the Christmas party.”

Keith furrowed his brows. The punishment didn't add up with Matt’s smug look. His face paled as the realization dawned on him. “Just the hat?”

Matt's smirk shifted into an impish grin. “I knew you were a smart one.” He said with a wink, sticking out his hand. “Do we have a bet, then?”

Never one to back down from a challenge, Keith took Matt's hand and pumped it twice with determination. “You're on.”

Holy Shit Voltron Season 6

They did NOT pull their punches, WOW. This has gotta be my favorite season yet. Emotions were flying, space was beautiful/terrifying, important plot points were coming together, and the action was AMAZING.

*SPOILER ALERT IMMA GONNA START BLATHERING*

1. Lotor: Lotor is fucking insane and the creators played it PERFECTLY. His childhood was obviously one of continuous abuse, and I’m guessing the derision he faced for being a half-breed was worse than we’d thought, because he outright despises the Galra. He doesn't want to hear an apology from the monster that wears his mother's face, and when his father is mentioned, he FLIPS. 

It’s hard to wholeheartedly hate him because we’ve seen the potential for goodness inside of him, but with no one to teach him that genocide or forced sacrifices is wrong, he's grown up warped and twisted. What he did to the Alteans strikes me as especially awful because he genuinely sees himself as a savior of Altea. I think his falling for Allura might have been partly because she was the first sincerely kind being he's interacted with, and partly because his ideals of a perfect Altean future included the Princess in it.

Whereas Zarkon felt like a dark, immovable force, Lotor is intelligent, flexible, and much, much scarier. He fooled the Paladins, his Generals, the Galra, the Alteans—like Lance said, he fooled everyone. If he emerges from that overcharge of Quintessence for a final boss fight, he's going to be utterly terrifying. Madness runs in his family, it seems, and it's rendered more disturbing by the tragic circumstances behind it. Lotor should be proud, though. He has more than outdone his father.

2. Allura: Her Altean magics gave the enemy an impossible advantage, but also saved everyone over and over again. When she blasts Lotor with that crazy amount of Quintessence, a part of me felt disturbed by how sad the situation was. This stupid war is forcing a kindhearted child to push someone she cared about (even if it was a relationship built on falsehoods) straight into madness's open arms. Fuck war, really.

Part of her wanted to save him from becoming even more of a monster, but Allura knows where her duties lie. She doesn't have the luxury of feeling sympathetic towards the enemy. She leaves Lotor behind to his madness. She doesn't even blink at destroying the Castle of Lions, the one last piece of Altea she has left. She's a lion goddess, and I love her.

3. Keith: THAT'S WHAT I CALL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Marmora training plus two years in the presence of a solid parent figure and a space pet did him good. When he returned, he came back decisive, hardened, and completely ready for Black. Watching him claim his seat without a moment of hesitation gave me the shivers. The backstory episode was so good, too. This kid loves his fellow paladins with all his heart, and it's great to see his love giving him the strength to save the people that matter to him. Especially Shiro.

Oh, and you know that moment at the end of the fifth episode, when Keith nearly gives up on himself? Not caring about himself is what he does, what he’s used to. But at the last moment, he remembers how Shiro pleaded him not to give up on himself, and opens his eyes. That moment he decides to live is the definition of epic. (Also, HOLY FUCK THAT MARK WAS A SCAR??)

4. Clone Shiro: I can't believe they made us grow fond of the Shiro Clone through the D&D episode (showing off Takashi's dumb nerdy core, god I love him) before pulling the inevitable betrayal. Even though we saw it coming, they made us remember that part of him is the Shiro we love, so that the battle between the two Black Paladins could carry a sufficiently devastating note. 

I now understand why Shiro seemed so obsessed with playing a Paladin. It was because a Paladin is what the Clone was programmed to be, the only thing he knew how to be. Add that to the fact that the last thing the Clone says is Keith’s name? Yeah, the Clone Angst was strong.

5. Shiro: I'd forgotten how good and pure the real Shiro was. His acceptance and encouragement is like hot chocolate. BUT WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOUVE BEEN DEAD ALL THIS TIME. WHY WOULD YOU DROP SUCH A BOMB SO MATTER-OF-FACTLY? 

God, I'm ecstatic to have him back, grandpa hair and all. Thank you, Lion Goddess Allura. (Since this means he didn't go through any more suffering after the end of season 2, I'm strangely relieved?) (Does this mean we get a Shiro video diary now?)

6. Hunk: That first episode of him using his understanding of Galra culture to save an innocent planet was amazing. (I also really liked the command structure the team has. They readily defer to whoever has the most knowledge about a given task and follow that paladin's orders. It's a jarring contrast with how Clone Shiro was acting last season. But I digress.) Watching Hunk being a genius engineer in action is the best. I love one sarcastic, pessimistic child who basically has a heart of gold.

6. Pidge: She hesitated once and failed to stop the Clone Shiro from leaving with Lotor. When the Castle is hacked and her programs are being taken down, she pulls out her last resort card. Using that program is tantamount to admitting that she cannot trust her Shiro, and it is a crushing revelation for her, the team, and us. But she doesn’t hesitate again. (Always a joy to see her work her programming magic.)

7. Lance: The rapport Allura and Lance have with each other is the purest thing. He throws himself into harm's way for her and nearly dies. She jumps out of her lion to go help him when there's a radioactive flare moments away from coming into contact with her position. If one of them is sad, the other is there to offer emotional backup, without question. I dig this healthy supportive relationship.

What’s special about his character is that Lance is a solid presence to lean on for the others—whether he’s providing emotional support for Keith, Clone Shiro, and Allura, or taking command in the absence of a clear leader. Funny thing is, he can’t do shit for himself. His self-esteem is getting lower than ever. He openly cried (something he never lets himself do) thinking he failed Shiro. The self-hatred at his own mistakes and supposed uselessness is gonna blow up sometime soon, and I look forward to the day that time bomb finally goes off. 

8. Coran: I could feel his grief for his dead planet, his sense of inadequacy compared to his grandfather. Very pleased that they gave us quality Coran Feels. (Also, Dungeonmaster/Dragon Coran was amazing.)

9. Krolia: Keith's parents fought so hard to protect the universe and their child. I can't forget the look in Krolia's eyes when the memory beam showed her a tiny Keith standing in front of a tombstone.

10. Acxa, Ezor, and Zethrid: They're trying to be loyal to the Empire, trying to save their people. They're being faced with impossible decisions left and right, and I'm curious what they'll be doing next.

11. Haggar/Honerva: She is genuinely sorry to Lotor, but sorry can't erase a millennia's worth of abuse and she knows it. I wonder what she will think when she finds out her son has followed her and Zarkon's descent into madness? I wonder what plans she has in place. (Could she be the final villain?)

12. Team Voltron: Here's the thing. In previous seasons, they were Paladins, yes, but they were still kids. They messed around with cows, made stupid jokes, generally powered through hard battles with the help of luck and sheer determination. But this season, when they charged into battle screaming, shield up and sword drawn? They no longer felt like brave kids going to war. They felt like the motherfucking Defenders of the Universe, through and through. (I didn't think I'd ever be this into a show about color-coded robot pilots. I was wrong.)

The scene where they pack their things to leave the Castle behind communicates the sense that there is no going back for them, that they are permanently changed and will constantly continue moving forward. It’s exciting. I can't wait for them to return to earth as hot badasses and bask in the respect they deserve. (Also someone needs to punch Iverson.)

13. Overall: The gorgeous backdrops, the pacing of the plot, the presentation of the scenes, the action sequences, the sound effects and acting—they were faultless. The soundtrack was great. There were countless moments of pure badassery: Krolia's fight, Keith vs. Clone Shiro, that Pidge-and-Lance tag-teaming action, Hunk's powerup, Voltron tearing a rift into the fabric of reality, etc. I loved it, I loved every precious second of this season, and I am blessed to be able to witness this masterpiece unfold before my eyes.

My opinions on Voltron Season 4 (SPOILERS!!)

PLEASE DON’T READ IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED IT YET!! I mean unless you want to have it spoiled that’s cool too lol

So, I was both a bit impressed and disappointed with the new season. I think I was waaay to hyped for it to be klance-centric, and it was not. But anyway, this is my “analysis” I guess on how I felt about Season 4:

So the first 2 episodes dive right into the angst, it’s unreal. Like not even ten minutes in an there’s already team discourse and “Keith Feels” TM and he seems to feel very subjected. I was half mad at him for abandoning the team so many times and I was half pitying him because he was so lost and confused, and he really was conflicted between wanting to stay with Voltron and wanting to fight with the Blade of Marmora. (But damn does he look fiiiine in that body suit 👏👏) in the end he ultimately chooses to stay with the Blade of Marmora and Shiro eventually takes his place as leader/Black Lion paladin, but there’s a big group hug at the end of the episode so that made it a little better. But yeah, all in all, episode one was definitely my least favorite episode.

The second episode was ANGSTYYY LIKE- I actually cried (it’s on my live stream on Instagram for the next 24hrs if you want to see me loosing it lol) but yeah, I was NOT PREPARED. Anyway, so Pidge goes off to look for her brother, and she (at first she thinks she does) finds him, 6 feet under at a memorial ground for fallen rebel warriors, and I legit thought Matt was dead and I lost it. Until everyone in my stream was like “WAIT HE AIN’T DEAD” and I was like *sniffle* oKAy then.

But theIR REUNION. WAS. EVERYTHING. Hands down my favorite part in season 4, it was everything I was hoping for. There was sibling bonding, bittersweet memories, Angsty moments where you think that Matt is dead (and omg Pidge crying like that made my heart break) and then the emotional relief when he turns out okay and they have a badass wonder duo moment where they kick some dude’s ass. And then there’s my favorite part, where Pidge was showing Matt around the castle and pointing things out and honestly, Matt just might be my new favorite character in the series.

So yeah, episodes 2 and 3 were definitely my favorites. And that scene where Matt was flirting with Allura?? Omg I was dying, Lance was so angry 😂😂 (I definitely don’t ship Lance and Allura or Matt and Allura btw, just thought the scene was funny lol) And that sweet reunion with Shiro was super cute. But honestly, god, I think I’m in love with Matt, he’s amazing jsjsknansnsksnnz.

Ahem. AnYWAY, Lotor gets kinda freaky and the whole season you can’t tell what side he’s on. Even at the end when he actually helped the Voltron team, it’s hard to tell what he’s playing at. I’m starting to like him more now, though. He’s still an onion, but an onion who looks really tired and looks like he has feelings. I’m excited to see more character development with him.

The milkshake scene with Lance was just as amazing as the first time I saw it, plus there’s Hunk making milkshakes for Pidge and Matt and then they end up working on a giant Galra tracking software and it was so cute.

Lotor and his galra babes get exiled and got a bounty put on their heads.

The whole of episode 4 was about how Coran got turned into a stereotypical, fame-obsessed manager from taking a suspicious pill that was supposed to “enhance your thoughts”. The lesson here: don’t take questionable substances from strangers, kids. The whole point of the episode is to try and gain as many followers to the Voltron coalition as possible through flashy shows and such, and they do a bunch of hilarious skits and performances and it was amazing. And boy does Lance razzle-dazzle. Omg, he is such a star, he literally did his best in all of them. Like, he actually aerial dances?? Too bad Keith wasn’t there to see it 😏

Actually, Keith was barely there at all for most of the season, and made only a few rare occurrences. Until the end where he sacrifices himself and almost dIES. Literally this 👌 close to dying. And then, out of literally everyone, Lotor blasts the shield he was about to ram into and saves the day. And then they leave us on the cliff hanger of “I think it’s time we have a discussion”. Like, is he gonna join the rebellion?? Is he just trying to get his father off his back and the rest of the galra empire?? Or is he plotting something? Who knows, I sure don’t.

But all in all, I’m sad to say that I wasn’t really happy with this season ;; Either because I set my expectations too high or what, I’m not sure, but I’m kinda bummed to be honest 😕. There’s a lot of good scenes that I want to redraw but, idk, my heart isn’t really into it. But that about sums it up for me. Sorry this is gigantic, i just needed to rant lol. But if you want to talk to me about this season at all or want to yell at me for my opinion being wrong, message me! I want to talk about this season with people, whatever your feelings on this season may be. I want to get a general scope for how everyone felt about this season :D

Tagged by @dont-offend-the-bees (w00t)

1. tv show character you like the best, and the one you relate to the most? (can be the same character, no judgement!)

Um -- this is difficult to answer since the only TV show I’m watching regularly right now is Whose Line Is It Anyway? Oh, and MST3K, but that feels more like a weekly movie. XD I can safely say Colin Mochrie is my favorite performer on Whose Line? -- the man is a marvel, especially when paired with Ryan Stiles. As for relating. . .all those audience members and guest stars who have no idea what they’re getting into when asked to perform with the gang. XD I’d probably freeze up too if I had go up there!

2. is there a song you feel compelled to listen to on repeat whenever it comes on at the moment? if so, which one?

Not particularly, though this has happened a lot in the past. The closest so far is the boss theme for the first “Adam” boss fight in Nier: Automata (you know, the “this cannot continue” song).

3. night owl or early bird?

NIGHT OWL. I am very good at staying up later than I should and I hate waking up early.

4. what are you favourite types of fanfic to read? fluff, angst, 5+1, soulmate aus? go nuts!

It can depend on my mood -- I’ll gravitate more toward angst if I’m gloomy myself -- but I actually like more fluffy, slice-of-lifey, domestic stuff, honestly. Or fics where someone gets magic or super-powers and has to learn how to use them. And I’m kind of a sucker for hurt/comfort-style stuff -- I just love a character who’s been whumped getting to cuddle with a loved one. (Not obvious from my own fanfic at all, right?)

5. what’s your fave soundtrack (musical, tv show, movie, video game etc)?

Well, my three main fandoms -- BTTF, Corpse Bride, and the Alice games -- all have great music associated with them. I think I’m going to have to go with Alice: Madness Returns for favorite, though, as it has some of my absolute favorite music on it (”Card Castles In The Sky” is GORGEOUS). I’ve been listening to CB’s soundtrack as “going to sleep” music for a while now, though.

6. last item of clothing you bought for yourself? was it something you wanted or something you needed? or both?

Er -- do shoes count? I needed a good pair of “transitional” shoes since spring this year has consisted of a lot of days where you can wear some lighter pants and such, but it’s too cold for sandals. Took a while, but I finally found a pair that work. (Nautica brand -- the soles have ship rope patterns :D)

7. what do you do on nights when you can’t sleep?

Mostly lie there and make up little Valicey fanfics in my head. If I can’t sleep because of nightmares, though, I’ll turn on a light and read something. Weirdly enough, I tend to gravitate towards my Terminator 2 making-of/script book during these moments. I dunno why.

8. do you have a film or album that makes you feel warm and safe and like you’ve come home after a really long day? which one?

*thinks about this* I’m gonna have to go with Enchanted -- it’s my favorite Disney movie, and it still gives me the warm fuzzies when I watch it. :)

9. do you hate spoilers or lap them up?

Depends on how big the spoiler is, and if I’m going to be consuming the media in question. I can still enjoy a work after being spoiled, but I like to avoid the big plot twists in stuff I’m going to be looking at myself. (Although, honestly, even knowing those without context can make me look forward to something -- I’m spoiled to hell and back about some of the stuff in Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, and I still really want to watch it to see how all these pieces fit together.)

10. do you have something (a movie, book, fanfic, anything really) that makes you feel really inspired? does it motivate you to create, or clean, or just keep on living?

You’ve seen my problem with AUs -- I have TOO MUCH that inspires me. XD A little more seriously, the pairing this blog is named after is my favorite inspiration. If I’m having a sad or frustrating day, I can make myself feel a lot better by looking at old fanarts, or rereading favorite bits from old stories. And, again, look at the AU thing. It’s really nice, having an OTP (and, sometimes an OT4 or more) that makes me this happy.

11. favourite cryptid/monster/eldritch horror?

Am I allowed to say Mantorok from Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem? I love his design, I love that he can exist in multiple timelines, I love that he’s an eldritch horror that may in fact be on humanity’s side. It’s not a sure thing, but just the idea -- it’s a cool flip of the usual “we are trapped in an uncaring universe with uncaring creatures on all sides.” I also love the bosses from Bloodborne, because FUCK they look cool. (Gotta rewatch some of that...)

My questions:

Do you have a favorite genre of music, or do you just listen to whatever you like and that’s that?

Which do you prefer, writing or drawing?

Cake, cookie, or ice cream?

What’s your favorite humor site or webcomic?

What’s your dream career?

Which superpower would you rather have -- the ability to rewind time, or the ability to split off multiple copies of yourself?

What’s your favorite season?

Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero?

Do you chew gum? Do you have a favorite flavor if you do?

Strangest prize you’ve ever seen available in a Dave & Buster’s/Chuck E. Cheese’s/similar establishment?

Have you ever actually handled a VHS tape?

Steven Bomb 6 Impressions

Lion 4: I've seen the leak a month ago, and... I didn't like it. And it's not because "muh plot" (although yeah at this point I'm getting sick of Steven angsting, and I can't believe I just said this), it was just boring in general :\ It was just Steven talking to himself, like in Storm In The Room, but without all the tension. 

And besides, am I the only one who feels like the Nora tape... devalues the Steven tape? Like, in Lion 3 it was such a touching moment, Rose talking for the first and (maybe) last time to her son, expressing all of her love... and now we discovered she did the same thing twice. Now it feels more like a script, like she's written down what to say, with little improvisation. It sucks out all of the spontaneity.

The only thing that caught my interest was what looked like Pink Diamond's space ship. I wonder why her ship was in the desert while her palanquin was in Korea, though. Can't wait for the flashback of Pink's death!

Doug Out: I'm so glad they finally gave Doug more focus - he's suck a dork, but still not falling in the hated Bumbling Dad trope <3 I wonder if he was always like this, even in Season 1, or if he mellowed out after Connie expressed her frustrations to Pryianka back in Nightmare Hospital. I wish he had more presence sooner. The episode itself was tense and funny at the same time, and I didn't feel like there was too much mood whiplash, that's great. Very enjoyable :) I wish I didn't see the promo, or the ending would've made me go "OH SHIT". I've gotta admit, as much as I didn't like Onion Gang, I did warm up to the kid, so I did feel worried when he started muhmuhing to Steven near the end. So... good job, I guess? Now I just need a reason for Rocknaldo to exist. (also the Mario shout out made me laugh out loud) (and I spotted Steven's very old drawing of Purple Puma and Tiger Millionaire <3)

The Good Lars: Oh Lars, I never know whether to love you or not - you're certaintly one of the most interesting humans, that's for sure. ngl, the title gave me The New Lars flashbacks. *shudder* When Sadie said "They like you!" I expected Lars to say "No, they like me if I act like Steven", just as a somber call back. ... and later Steven says happily "I spent a day in you body", with no reaction from Lars, just to piss me off. (although I laughed at "I wish I had a way to contact him with my mind... oh, wait, or with my phone!") The episode touched Lars' tendency to act like someone he isn't... and it's so weird that I wished the plot didn't get in the way of character development. I can never be happy, can I? :^) But seriously, maybe Lars' Head will accomplish what this episode only started, and make Lars learn to be himself. I never realized Sadie never interacted with the Cool Kids, and I love how welcoming they are :) they're like "cool, paper plates! Sit with us on the bean bag!". Go Sadie, make some friends! "When did you learn to be so mature?" "Somewhere between learning to summon my shield and finding out my mom is a war criminal" And Steven took a lesson from Sonic Boom and went full meta. Also Lars almost confessed to be in love with Sadie and stop being cute Lars nobody gave you the right to be cute So yeah, this might be one of my favorite townie episodes, and definitely the best Lars episode :)

Are You My Dad: Maybe is an unpopular opinion (I stayed far away from the SU tag as soon as the sneak peeks came out), but I really don't like Aquamarine's design. She looks like a fan character of someone who thought it would be nice to have a pixie Gemsona and took too much inspiration from Lapis. Her teardrop-shaped gemstone being near the eye was a nice detail, though, and I like her cute but flat voice. As for her personality, I have the impression I'll love to hate her, she's a spoiled brat but she's so endearing <3 As for Topaz, I don't like her (their?) design either, too blocky, but my first impression was kinds drowned by WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ASSIMILATING THEM (and the way she does is clever, I admit) "We should preparing for a fight!" I think I heard every fan shouting "NO FUCKING SHIT" And Pearl building a sand castle and calling it a tiny house for crabs cured my anxiety, cleared my skin and made the sun shine outside Nothing else to say, another good episode that built up the tension pretty well.

I Am My Mom: SO MUCH GOING ON AAAAAAAAA "Why is Homeworld stealing humans from the boardwalk?" Uh, didn't Ruby, Sapphire and Steven hear Yellow Diamond say that there's still time to pick more humans? Why are you acting like that conversation happened in private? D: Connie has Alone Together as her ringtone, I love her <3 Now that the theory that Aquamarine and Topaz are kidnapping the people that Steven mentioned waaaay back in Marble Madness has been proved true, that's such a bit of clever writing <3 it explains why they're right here in Beach City, it's a wonderful domino effect, and it's all Steven and Peridot's fault! Because Steven absolutely didn't need another reason to feel like garbage! =D Such a gut punching moment, both in- and out-of-universe. Love it! I wish Peridot was here to feel like garbage too. (wow that came out wrong) Aquamarine is such a wonderful, horrible, at times scary bitch. And here I thought Holly Blue Agate was detestable. I wonder, what is her purpose on Homeworld? She looks like a little version of Lapis, but she has a telekinetic ray (?) to move objects, so... does she terraform in a much smaller scale? And they brought her to collect humans because she can fly and she can trap things with her ray without hurting them? (also I noticed that all Gems from Blue Diamond's court are at best prideful and at worst arrogant. Maybe they're all valuable Gems. Aquamarine is definitely much higher than a Quartz, judging from how she talks to her. Blue Pearl seems to be the exception, poor thing :( ) Alexandrite, my favorite eyesore! =D Now you're up to two speaking appearences and a non-speaking one. That's a lot for a Fusion. The ending was magnificent. All of the angst, all of the shocking revelations, and Steven at the end accepts that Rose is part of him, but he can be better, and fix what she's done, not because that's his purpose but because it's the right thing to do. And everyone was devastated, the lightning was so somber, Pearl was crying, and good thing this is the last episode for now because Steven's going to Homeworld where he will be this close to getting ground to dust and I can't handle this THANK YOU PLOT AND FEELS FOR COMING BACK

... wait, Lars is there too :o He never got out! Now I don't know what Lars' Head will be! I’m expecting a truckload of character development either way.

Conclusion: HOLY SHIT I'M SO HAPPY WE'LL SEE HOMEWORLD AND THE PLOT AND THE ANGST WITH A PURPOSE
