Everytime descendants puts out a new trailer, I'm convinced that:
They don't care about the animated movies at all
It's a retcon and the Isle doesn't exist. Not to mention they brought back old actors from the 1997 Cinderella for nostalgia bait
What the bloody hell is even going on?💀💀
*"They don't care about the animated movies at all" I mean, that much is obvious with how the movies keep straying from the animated movies and more into either the original fairy tales/stories or sometimes the various live actions...or in Merlin Academy's case, rip off areas with Ever After High/School for Good and Evil. Like, these movies CLAIM to be connected to the ANIMATED movies, and yet, you got shit like saying the sleeping curse was 100 years when no, in the animated movie it was at best a few hours lmao, 100 years is the original fairy tale, while you also now have the Jabberwocky being referenced when animated Alice in Wonderland didn't have that, only the original story did alongside Tim Burton's first live action...Queen of Hearts also in animated didn't have magic but they needed to make this bitch Maleficent levels of threat somehow I guess. And the less said about the mess Merlin Academy is when you try to connect them to the animated movies, the better, because that's a whole ass rant on its own. Like, why fucking claim to be connected to the animated movies if all your gonna do is not be accurate to them and on top of that, constantly try to connect to the original fairy tales and live actions and even try to rip off other franchises??? Just...why the fuck do that?!
youtube
*Well, yes, this film is a retcon in a way, but not in the way you said. The Isle STILL existed, but now in a way off, "Tfw your classmate united every kingdom and wouldn't let you rest in death and instead decided a prison island was better for you as a punishment."- the only reason it comes off as the Isle is no longer important because it suddenly went from Isle kids to now just kingdoms who didn't join Auradon having their kids be invited, in this films case, Red. And if we try to connect Beyond the Isle of the Lost to this mess somehow, they confirmed not many VKs now attend Auradon Prep, which is Disney terms for we not bothering to continue with the Isle kids plot now that the Isle is gone...maybe they aware that means addressing the elephant in the room that is vengeful villains have now been freed onto Auradon lmao. *The fact that they brought Brandy back as Cinderella just to get fans of her film in to watch, only to reveal in trailer she gets taken prisoner by the Queen of Hearts and is potentially beheaded...the disrespect vibes are strong here, let alone the vibes off, 'we did our job of getting her fans to watch, now time to get rid of her for a-lot of the film-' *"What the bloody hell is even going on?" Good question! I don't think anyone knows! And that's even after Disney was FINALLY honest about what's going on in a Descendants plot in a trailer for once. I just know its a fucking mess, that's what.

For Danny Ric! I'm so exited! Fluff 1, Promt 8. I think a debate over the music playing on the car radio would be great. I love Danny's roadtrip vibes.
Road Trip | D. Ricciardo

You're on a road trip with Daniel, cruising down a scenic highway with the windows rolled down, the wind tousling your hair. Daniel's driving, one hand on the wheel and the other resting on your thigh. The sky is a perfect blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds, and the road ahead is open and inviting. The landscape rushes by in a blur of greens and browns as he drives a little over the speed limit, the hum of the wind providing a soothing background noise.
"Okay, music," you declare, reaching for your phone.
Daniel raises an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. "Wait a second, I'm the one driving. Driver gets to choose music right?"
You chuckle, shaking your head. "I know you're used to driving alone, but the unwritten rule of road trips is passenger has the aux control."
"Oh really?" he challenges, glancing at you with mock seriousness. "I think the driver needs the tunes to stay focused."
"Yeah, well, the passenger needs to keep the driver entertained," you retort, connecting your phone to the aux.
Daniel lets out a dramatic sigh, rolling his eyes in exaggerated exasperation. "I'm the one doing all the work here, steering us safely to our destination. That means I should choose the songs too."
You cross your arms, feigning stubbornness. "That makes no sense, Danny. I'm the one keeping you company, making sure you don't fall asleep at the wheel."
He scoffs, "with your choice of songs, I will definitely fall asleep at the wheel."
You gasp, holding your phone close to your chest. "I could say the same about your taste. You listen to country music."
"Don't disrespect good ol' tunes, darling. You just want to play that one song on repeat," he stated, glancing at you and flashing a grin.
"It's a great song!" you insist, mirroring his grin.
"Great for making me doze off," he teases, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Come on, you know my playlist is solid. It's got everything we need for a perfect road trip," he adds, slightly squeezing your thigh.
You become too aware of his hand resting on your thigh, and in the heat of your debate, you move it away, earning a frown from him.
"Sure, if we want to turn this into a country-western saga," you retorted, unable to suppress a smile. "Besides, variety is necessary. We can't be stuck listening to the same kind of songs for hours."
Daniel laughs, his hand finding his way back on your thigh as he gives in. "Fine, fine, let's settle this. Name a song that's a must for any road trip."
You both throw out suggestions, each defending your choices with increasing passion. The debate grows more animated as you argue over the best songs to keep you both entertained and awake. Daniel insists on the classics he loves, especially since it's a countryside road trip, while you disagreed, encouraging other artists. Back and forth you banter, poking fun at the other's taste in music, even though it wasn't a serious issue.
Finally, you realize how absurd the argument is and burst out laughing simultaneously.
"This is ridiculous," you manage to say between giggles. "We're debating over who plays the songs."
"Exactly," Daniel agrees, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye that slipped out while laughing. "We're wasting time when we could've been enjoying some good music."
"Alright, how about we compromise?" you suggest, still chuckling. "We alternate between our songs."
"Deal," he agrees, extending a hand for a shake while steering with the other.
You clasp his hand, nodding formally as you seal the agreement. Daniel takes the first pick, choosing a song he enjoys. As the familiar beats fill the car, you cover your ears playfully, but the smile on your face tells him it's all in jest. You both sing along, creating your own little concert on wheels.
When the song ends, you take your turn, choosing a track that's currently your favourite. Daniel groans, having heard the song too many times to count, but he can't resist singing along with you. The rest of the drive is filled with a perfect mix of your favorite songs. Even though you both complain every time the other picks a song, you still sing along to each one, enjoying every moment.

Femme Fatale Playbook: How To Thrive And Enjoy Casually Dating
Some tips on how to casually date and navigate casual relationships (friends with benefits, flings, nighttime companions, and less traditional/transitory relationships) from a place of self-respect and the pursuit of pleasure that keeps your confidence high (and without losing your mind). Hope this helps xx
Consider Dating To Be An Addition – Not A Focal Point – To Your (Already Full) Life
Set Your Standards Ahead of Time
Reframe Dating As a Networking Opportunity
Consider Different Suitable Arrangements
Communicate Directly
Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously
Embrace Living In The Moment
Allow Yourself To Be Selfish
Manage Your Expectations
Never Forget That You’re Single
Practice Self-Care In All Forms
Check In With Yourself Regularly; Modify Your Approach When Necessary
How To Thrive And Enjoy Casually Dating Guide
Consider Dating To Be An Addition – Not A Focal Point – To Your (Already Full) Life: Casual dating should not be used as a "stepping stone" to finding a committed partner. While friends-with-benefits situations can transform into lifelong partnerships, approaching casual dating with a commitment-oriented mindset is setting you up for unnecessary stress and potential heartbreak. You should enjoy and feel respected by the person you're with, but expecting a commitment from a casual relationship is like expecting an orange to grow from an apple seed. There is an incongruence between your actions and your intentions. The main mistake many people make with casual dating is they use it to fill a void – for self-validation, a partner, spouse, body confidence – you name it. However, the only way you can casually date/embrace casual sex is to learn to love yourself first, know what you want, and feel generally fulfilled as a person. Enjoy the casual dating experience for what it is – an indulgence, not a supplement to having platonic relationships, career aspirations, hobbies, health goals, self-care activities, etc. Use casual dating and similar arrangements to embrace hedonic desires – whether that's a shared meal, drinks, or activities that remain behind closed doors.
Set Your Standards Ahead of Time: Check in with yourself, and dive into the casual dating pool with a game plan. Know what you're looking for, establish your boundaries around the sex part of the relationship, remain firm on your non-negotiables, and always be prepared to walk away if you ever feel disrespected or unsafe with a hookup or a date. Knowing what you're looking for can range from a purely sexual relationship to a friends-with-benefits to a nighttime/weekend companion (sex and dinner/drinks type of vibe) or a more casual and less sex-focused dating experience (meeting new people who you might make out or sleep with on occasion). Sexual boundaries include factors like exclusivity, scheduling concerns, preferences regarding intimate activities or sexting, etc. Anyone who tries to coerce you into a situation that makes you uncomfortable is not worth one more second of your time – let alone the privilege to be intimate with you.
Reframe Dating As A Networking Opportunity: Ultimately, dates are a great way to get to know other people as individuals. They don't need to be the loves of your life, ideal partners, or people you end up having a romantic/intimate relationship with. Consider dating as a networking opportunity – to meet people with all different experiences, interests, social circles, career paths, etc. You never know whether these platonic or potentially professional connections can lead outside of any romantic intentions. If you do sense a spark but do not see partnership-level compatibility with the person, consider your fling or series of encounters as an opportunity to build an informal connection with someone and a pleasurable growth opportunity to learn more about yourself and what you want – in life, sexually, or from a future romantic partner.
Consider Different Suitable Arrangements: Once you've acknowledged and accepted your own desires, boundaries, and expectations, it's time to open your mind to consider the different types of arrangements that would satisfy your needs without compromising your standards. Reflect upon the level of intimacy you need outside of the bedroom to feel fulfilled in a casual relationship, the times of the week or day you want to be available to this person, how much you want to socialize with the person (or not at all or somewhere in between).
Communicate Directly: The best part of a casual relationship, friends with benefits, or fling is the opportunity to truly explore your sexuality without having to worry about the performative aspect of a relationship that influences you to feel overly desire to please – regardless of what you do (or don't) receive in return. Be tactful yet direct with your partner about what you want. This experience is designed purely for pleasure. Don't be shy about your desires. Too often, women don't speak up in fear of not being chosen – but this approach backfires because you're ultimately denying yourself from a fulfilling experience, which only breeds resentment down the line and can spill over into your future flings or more serious relationships.
Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously: Allow yourself to let loose, laugh, and enjoy the hours you get to spend with the other person. Don't worry too much about how you're perceived (especially in the bedroom) and whether you're having a "proper" casual dating experience. Let go of societal/purity culture expectations that expect us to date for commitment or experiment with full-fledged hookup culture (both lifestyles attach women's worth to who they're sleeping with and why, rather than acknowledging your sexuality as simply a part of your being).
Embrace Living In The Moment: Consider the purpose of this experience or relationship in this season of your life. Release the notion that you have to anticipate the next stage of the relationship. Enjoy your encounter(s) for what they are: A moment in time where you can share pleasure and a connection with another person you find attractive in some way. There doesn't need to be an underlying meaning to these situations. Whether you know this person for a few weeks, months, or even one night, allow yourself to live in the moment with no regrets about a fun and consensual bonding experience.
Allow Yourself To Be Selfish: With your time, body, priorities, and self-care practices. Don't make your schedule more flexible for a romantic/sexual partner than you would for an acquaintance at the beginning and no more than a friend once/if you two start to hang out regularly or feel very comfortable with each other. Remember: This experience is purely for fun and serves as an addition to your life. Who you are or aren't dating and sleeping with does not determine your worth in any way.
Manage Your Expectations: Embracing casual relationships is not a way to seek out compatibility for a committed relationship. Expecting someone to move mountains for a casual relationship is honestly a red flag (and shows signs of love bombing). While trust and respect are essential between both parties, the level of emotional intimacy will likely never resemble more than a friendship if you're planning to keep things casual. Consideration and thoughtfulness – not romantic gestures – are the biggest green flags here. When people show you who they are and their intentions, through their actions, believe them. Don't overidealize or place grandiose expectations on a lover purely because they are not a platonic interest.
Never Forget That You’re Single: Hyperfixating on one person can only lead to a situationship or the over-idealization of a future with someone who you're not with in pursuit of a serious relationship. While you can choose to be sexually exclusive with someone (condoms are still a must – as your partner is free to do as they please on their own time), it is important to remain open-minded and take time to meet other people. Casual dating is about fun and self-discovery. Date for commitment or a serious relationship if you're seeking emotional and sexual exclusivity.
Practice Self-Care In All Forms: Prioritizing yourself is always essential, especially if you plan on sharing your body and heart with someone in a no-strings-attached fashion. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet, exercise, and sleep schedule. Keep yourself healthy to feel confident, strong, and secure in your body and mind. Stay focused on your career and self-development goals. Dress in a way that makes you feel your best. Establish beauty and self-care routines that make you feel pampered and well taken care of on a daily basis. Make time for your friends, family, and hobbies that you enjoy. Read books, listen to music, take walks, journal, and go to therapy if you can. Intertwine casual relationships into the "pleasure" category of your self-care routine(s). Think of these relationships as indulging in a glass of your favorite wine, a bowl of ice cream, or taking time at night to watch an episode of a reality TV show. It is a fun indulgence that you could live without but make life infinitely more enjoyable and exciting. Allow yourself to feel all of the emotions and bonding chemicals that result from an intimate encounter. Embrace those feelings and the joy of having a human experience. Allow these emotions to be self-referential. Enjoy these encounters as an act of self-love, vulnerability, self-reflection, and personal growth.
Check In With Yourself Regularly; Modify Your Approach When Necessary: Give yourself permission to reflect and change your mind regarding your expectations surrounding casual dating or connections. Remember that you always have the freedom to change your mind and adjust your boundaries to suit your level of comfort within yourself or any interpersonal dynamic. Ensure you communicate these standards to any existing your future partners. Remain unapologetic about finding yourself, standing your ground, and going after what you want.

I love how despite Fade being goofy and constantly getting bullied, he's not just a one dimensional punching bag
He's got personality and character and has his own worries about life. He has a big head but he doesn't seem to actually want to hurt people from what I'm getting
unless he feels like they're disrespecting him it seems, then he wants to fight eventhough he keeps losing lol but the way he reacted to Adamant being caught and how he was the only one to speak up against Edge when Hope was being tortured, makes me go hmmmmm
I really like his character and I can't wait to see what yall are gonna do with him
And same goes for Bright, it wouldve been so easy to just make her the "funny over the top sibling who is goofy and silly all the time" character but she's clearly more than that. She's visibly upset learning that her sister going to leave and she takes the fight between Edge and Hope seriously
I love those two so much and can't wait to see them again(same goes for Radiant! Don't have much to say on her but I like her too and I really want to know more about her)
Thank you so much, anon!
We really wanted our quote unquote "bad guys" to have bonds and things going on in their personal life because it gives a 'hey, they're people just like anybody else' vibe and we've always enjoyed that with some of our favourite villains.
Another thing I really wanted to explore is how the sibling bond between these three is strong despite their completely different personalities because that's always fun too and it's also how a lot of my irl sibling relations have worked out due to growing up in foster care. Fade is especially great to write because he's something of a combination of all the teenage guys I've grown up with: they have a mouth and a desire to appear tough but when it comes to actual confrontation, shit just goes south for them so fast and they bail out of the situation. It's just funny when it happens.
And with Bright, it's a simple case of girls not being allowed to be chaotic without some underlying reason. Especially when that reason is neurodivergency and/or mental illness because it's stereotyping at this point. Bright is just chaotic because that's her personality and we love that for her. lol
I'm also looking forward to showing more of Radiant. There's something underneath her icy, deadpan exterior fo' sure. c: - RJ

live "tweet" books with me (via the Goodreads progress bar) pt. 4 and 4.5 The ACOTAR series by Sarah J. Maas
(I didn't do the entire book for acotar or acomaf so I'm putting them both here, I'm also putting Frost and Starlight here bc it's so short. I did all of Wings and Ruin so it will be a whole other post)
A Court of Thornes and Roses
 I'm reading this book again and praying it will keep me out of a reading slump
Feyre saying she hates the smell of books is WIIILLLLDDD...the disrespect smh
I know that Tamlin turns out to be the scum of the earth but I can't remember if we still like Lucian...I hope we do bc I love him and Fayre's bestie vibes
RHYSAND IS THAT YOU!!! BESTIIEE
GAG
Lucian really said "I'm getting THE FUCK outta here" he has zero patience for their bs
bribery for a kiss is gross...boo Tamlin
Rhys is the high lord of night court, right...like he's the one leaving heads in gardens? cause like if so SLAY
Rhys don't be a snitch, it isn't a good look
Nesta's important later isn't she? cause her following fayre is not nothing
The way that this is like millimeters from being a standalone book will never not be hilarious.
A Court of Mist and Fury
Rhys crashing her wedding is annoying (kinda bc she clearly didn't want to get married) but also so slay of him
I love it when characters throw shoes...a very underrated form of micro mirco mirco troup
 you are saying a lot of names...all of them slightly familiar...I've very excited"
live laugh love....Lucian siding with Feyre bc I love him and I hope he stays on her side
referring to themselves as males and females is a little too omagaverse for my liking
ngl yall I miss Lucian...like fuck tamlin he's a bitch but Lucian has never done anything wrong in his life
giggling blushing kicking my feet
I didn't know Tamlin was gonna side with the evil king guy...but I KNEW and I'm not at all suprised
I wish I had read this years and years ago when I started it the first time because OH MY GOD
(See part 5 for Wings and Ruin)
A Court of Frost and Starlight
Feyre using "older than Rhys" as a measurement of time is my new favorite thing
period positivity or whatever but I HATE HATE HATE when it's talked about in books...makes me uncomfy
Az is so sweet trying to not get invested in Elain but seriously dude, kick Lucian out of there
Sweet Azrial...if you don't get Elain a gift I'll throttle you
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHAHA Cassian can tell when Nesta is reading smut
every Cassian chapter is just him angsting after nesta...just kiss her already
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST SAY MAN...I love these books but every time I read the word male I want to throw them all over a cliff
hehe drunk Cassian and Feyre: the best siblings-in-law ever
a court of Frost and Shadows: 232 pages of everyone and their mothers cockblocking Rhys and Feyre
Lucian...I love you, go away
Rhys, Cassian, and Azrial having a snowball fight every year on Solstice for 500 years is the cutest thing I've ever read...I love it when grown men do cutie-pie things
these people are hundreds of years old but istg they act like their 10
YES CASS GO GET YOUR GIRL
Nesta grow the fuck up
RHYS IS GIVING FEYRE HIS MOMS DRESSES STOP IM SOBBING
I love Rhys and feyre, I do....but I'm dying for Nesta and Cassian content pls
I'm gonna be honest...this had almost zero plot...got to see all the cuties doing cutie things tho...so that's a plus

okay more Baldur's gate things because I'm definitely adding my Lex (half elf, wizard, criminal past, supposedly into knowedge?? the summary is: she's a weirdo with a personal code and lots of tadpoles) to my multi and yesterday it was hilarious:
I saved the thiefling and that's all that matters to me/Lex (don't know what I'll do when I'll try a less 'gotta protect the underdog even though I'm supposed to be a criminal' person), though I may have skipped forward too fast for a level 3 character in act 1 by killing all the goblin leaders, including the one we could have apparently recruited if letting those innocents be slaughtered. No wonder she gets along with Wyll best.
I had Volo rip her eye out by accident when pushing him to go on with his crazy experiment to remove the tadpole so now she can see invisibility with her prosthetic one. No, I will not be taking criticism or questions at this time (I need to rp the after because she was impossibly chill about it and that's canon)
Lae'zel came onto her??? Is that how you say when someone basically tells you she'd like to jump your bones? which is literally out of nowhere because as much as Lex finds her funny in my head, they disagree about everything, but because Lex didn't run away from giant fights (which I HATED, I was forced to, and I'm pretty sure Lex didn't want to do given her background) she was into her???? Obviously if I rp I won't ask another rper to replicate that, just to know that Lex would keep her and the others forever and have weird adventures because FUN. Also Lex NEVER takes her threats seriously nor shows all that respect, mostly she makes smartass or amused comments, but also got in the way so Shadowheart wouldn't kill her and won't criticize her for her way to live.
Shadowheart woken Lex up at night when almost killing Lae'zel WHILE SHE SLEPT (after the artifact fight) and she was saying she'd claim La'zel had started changing, so while I interrupted the fight peacefully there is no way Lex specifically as a character would ever grow super close/trust her again? I headcanon Lex is fine with people keeping their secrets, she does it too, but betraying trust and companions and lying about it, and the 'attacking a companion while they sleep'? Against her code. Even if she feels affection for her, she hasn't forgotten that Shadowheart wasn't exactly joking when she said 'huh I'd kill you right away' after Lex told her that if she (Shadow) turned she'd tie her up and go find a cure for her. She tries not to disrespect her faith and supports her, let her keep the artifact (and saved her on the ship at the beginning) so she thought they were getting closer, but this crossed the line even if Lex will still treat her as a friend and defend her.
Tumblr media
ASTARION IS SO FUNNY. I stand by the idea that 'Lex will insult/roll her eyes at him at all times, but violently protect him with her life, she feels she's the only one who can be like 'shut the fuck up, Astarion' and won't let anyone else mistreat him unless it's a friendly thing, even told the others to trust him when they learned he's a vampire. I like the idea that she's very "I'm not buying any of your crap" to him, while unable to stop smiling at him and secretly worrying for him. Also I feel that when he sensed that she wasn't about to suggest sex at the druids party he was like 'I want sex... NOT WITH YOU' only because she wasn't giving him the vibe she'd say yes, otherwise they'd probably be considering it, even if it's just casually? Astarion was shockingly offended by Gale's reveal because 'he didn't tell his FRIENDS he was dangerous' he used the words "friends", he focused on that, me as a player and Lex as a character are so intrigued by that, considering that Lex herself didn't feel that personally slighted by Gale not telling the truth in general, just not liking that he might die nor that he didn't tell them he could "erupt" (also, if there had been a dialogue option for it, she'd have been like "you didn't tell you were a vampire and tried to bite me while I slept??" She gave him permission to do it once because she's a weirdo and it hurt, but it was such a dangerous thing). By the way, she told Astarion she can suck the enemies' blood but not hers, because it DID hurt and because she's not going to give her literal blood to people. She kinda looks at him softly when they are not bantering so there is that, and she drank his wine so. Weirdest relationship.
Tumblr media
Wyll got horns and she's into the demon look. No but seriously, Wyll is the one she effortlessly gets along with and she likes so much (because they are both heroic even if she's not supposed to be) even though I accidentally started romancing Gale. She still thinks so very highly of Wyll even after knowing about him making a mysterious deal with the devil, never knew she wanted to be heroic too until meeting him and realizing she was choosing to fight for others all the time, the way no one ever fought for her. So help me god if the others don't rally up for her if she gets in danger.
Tumblr media
Karlack is going to be her best friend, I can feel it. But she just arrived and I don't know much. 
We are in love with the dog.
I know nothing of Minthara, I killed her right away to protect the tieflings. 
I have Halsin in my camp but considering I didn't directly save him, I don't know him much

I ACCIDENTALLY started romancing Gale to see if he'd respond well (when they performed a spell that bonded them a bit, so I reasoned she got a bit lost in it, and conjured the image of them having a romantic walk? she's weirdly sweet?) but I can feel that once he revealed his secret Lex pulled back because he not only hid it for so long, but can't deal with the 'sleeping with a goddess wasn't enough' which makes her think of how many tadpoles she put in her brain, even if she's still very friendly to him and kinda flirty, and I'm so curious to see where it'd go, but I think this was too big of a secret for her??

We got Withers, Lex still can't believe a magical corpse is trying to get her money. He's is the equivalent of that guy in Spyro who asks you lots of diamonds to build bridges. It's hilarious.
Tumblr media
Lex is shoving tadpoles in her head, she WANTS to be a cool wizard and I headcanon it's to protect herself because she lived a life of rejection and hunger, but in the end she's slipping into I NEED POWER TO SURVIVE. Yet she refuses to abandon companions who are a threat.
I literally made this post her unofficial about page in my multi.

So, the nicknames "Roses" for comic!Hobie came from Moxie painting them. It's the thing of they don't people, physical bodies or the shit infront of them. They are distantly native, and with that comes the belief that everything that lives has a soul. Moxie doesn't paint their muses faces, they paint the soul of their muses. Hobie is a complicated ass character, with many complicated ass things to him. He's a dork, but if you meet him in the street he'll only threaten to beat your ass. He cares like hell about everything, but he's the quietest in the room until you start fucking up and he has to step in to beat your ass. When the social climate fucked up that people couldn't have the means to live, and that's pretty fucked up ngl, He beat the president's ass. All while hiding under his little punk song references. You're catching Moxie's vibe here? There's one main consistency in behavior and emotion with him. He's a sweet dreamer who has a big ass chip on his shoulder in a capitalist hellhole that wants to kill him for caring about anything other then himself and money. That's a rose. No fucking seriously, think about it. Roses (At-least in america) are no longer a commonly wild plant. Their roots are so weak that they need to be grafted new ones just to survive through growing. They're beautiful, sure. It's the fact that they are beautiful that gets them killed. We only want to farm and chop them down to make shit like Ornament gifts or plucked their petals for people to fuck on. Yes, we also use them for a food produce, but is that your working class experience? The working class is most a country's people. They get farmed and butchered for the fact they had the misfortune of being pretty to another species. The only thing they did was exist. That fucking sucks, man. The tools that they use to keep themselves safe are stripped (thorns) and they are put on display just to watch the life they have left wither away in a day. If you can't tell, Moxie considers plant life apart of important life. They also find it very disrespectful themselves to be gifted flowers because they have the opinion it's basically saying "These were pretty, so I murdered life for you!" Thank you, Ted Bundy. (Still the character's opinion) What they painted the first time Hobie came to them was a willow tree, full of colorful roses. The willow part is because many animals in an ecosystem rely on them to rest, to make homes. They were ancient pollinators for bees, they are known in tribe's for pain relievers. Typically historically they are known as biofilters for important water sources to filter out pollution and shit. Put both of those together and you have something beautiful and dangerous, yet important for a living environment. Something that single-handedly makes the water run clean for animals to drink. Something entire cultures build their wonder around because of it's ability to exist. Admiration was always there, from day one. Mutually. Hobie is a wild-grown rose. Something that defied all systems in place to prevent them from flourishing. Here he stands, Beautiful. (Moxie speaking)
(Yes this painting is the one hobie stole, that lead to moxie being able to inter-dimensionally teleport and lead to them re-meeting. It's a very important narrative painting.) (No, they don't have a ship name but we'll make one up and pretend like we always had one in our back pocket. Bullshitting, GO!)
IM FINALLY GETTING TO THIS WOOOO
GO COFFEE ADRENALINE
OOOOOO love that for them. The essence of the soul is captured by their brush and not their physical form. That's wicked.
OMG THE SYMBOLISM OF HOBIE BEING A ROSE. Putting a show of being beautiful and harmless but underneath it all lies thorns. LIKE UGHHHH.
Oh my God I should've kept reading before I wrote that paragraph because your thought process is even better than what I came up with. DAMNNNNN just putting that into perspective is amazing. We give so many things value and yet instead of enjoying its presence and just leaving it be we exploit it.
Bro not you not having a ship name 💀. (Idk man paintpunk, colorpunk, soulpunk, the punk and the painter just spitballing here.

Urrgggg! I know Na’vi anatomy can be difficult, but they are copying shots from the movie. I have seen the movie too many times that I recognize all of them! On top of it, it’s very difficult to tell who is who. I have seen fanart comics much better drawn than this. Sorry, I don’t want to disrespect the artists, but they put minimum effort into this. 
Also, I’m just conflicted because it says it’s based on the actual screenplay by James Cameron himself. Does it mean this is canon?
Because if it is, I have a lot of questions.
….. Spoilers ahead …..
Questions like why a Na’vi kid is calling Norm dad? (page 11) or maybe he’s Jake dressed in human clothes and that is little Tuk? If so, why is Jake wearing human clothes again?
I think it’s interesting it’s mentioned that Na’vi kids grow up faster. 
I’m also very confused with Kiri and her ikran. She was a child! Like Tuk’s age. Did Kiri have her ikran before Neteyam? I thought Neteyam has been the youngest to complete the Iknimaya rite in the whole story of their clan so far. It’s not like they take children to the rite. When Jake got Bob (his ikran), Tsu’tey also took two trainees probably a lot younger than Jake, but they were not children, probably teens, so why is Kiri so young?
I found it fascinating that Neteyam was the youngest to get his ikran, and Lo’ak failed on his first try.
The three laws of Eywa… I never hear about it. I think it’s an interesting concept, but also maybe a discarded one. I think If it was important, sure James Cameron would have mentioned it if not in the first movie, in the second. 
Ok, this is hilarious, Neytiri is behaving like Spider is that rebel bad boy who is coming to take her saint daughter’s virtue LOL. She is too psychotic. The child is not to blame for the sins of the father. Also, isn’t she been a little too much hypocrite? She is married to Jake, a human, maybe not in body, but he still has his human mind.
On the other hand, this comic is making Kiri sound so ungrateful about being adopted by the Sullys. “Us orphans” You’re not an orphan girl!  (page. 39) She has parents and siblings who love her, contrary to Spider, who only has legal guardians who don’t give a fuck about him. Seriously, the McCosker guy is so cruel in his comments about Spider. (page 42)
Also, why is the lab so abandoned and dirty? Didn’t Norm and the other science fellows work there anymore? Not like pay-work, but passion-work. I would think that if they stay in Pandora, it is because they love it there, and with their scientific curiosity, they would keep taking samples and running experiments. At least you would think they keep it running for the links units. 
I didn’t like Jake being so obsessed with war before the humans returned. That’s not the vibes I got from the movie (atwow). I mean, I get he may be concerned, but seriously they made him sound so paranoiac here. 
Which let us to the elephant in the room. NA’VI IN SPACE! What?!
I don’t ruled out it might happen in future movies, but here, it seems so out of context. And anyways, why is Jake asking permission to the Olo'eyktan Council if all the warriors are from the Omaticaya clan? His clan?
And isn’t the kids exploring the battlefield and founding the Samson helicopter too much like what actually happened in the second movie? I know it’s based on the screenplay, and maybe it got changed. But then again, I ask, is this canon? I honestly don’t think so.

Hi! Can you do a headcanon of Levi being jealous/posessive when someone tries to flirt with his crush?
���𝐲 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 (𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐢 𝐀𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐱 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫)
text: Hello anon! Thank you so much for the request🥺 Of course I can! and I hope you like what I wrote💞 (also I’m sorry this took some time! this week and last week was just so stressful ahhh) incoming some cute jelly levi boi, I also realized now we need more of this- ALSO will be using this fact stated by Isayama about levi getting jealous which is he wouldn’t get jealous over his lover because he would trust them, although if he were to be jealous he’d stay low about it then by time explode. in this case it would be his crush and not lover as requested! (incoming some real cute fluff and levi being a cutie who is a bit jealous <3)
synopsis: Levi Ackerman isn’t the one who would get easily affected by others, he wouldn’t care most of the time what people would do and say to him. But....he has a crush on y/n for the longest time now and it seems his feelings is growing too with time. He notices some scouts trying to tease and flirt with his crush, he starts to feel something about it and pushes the thought away, but the feeling is still present. One day, something happens and he can’t take it anymore and becomes a bit possessive and clingy towards y/n!
fluff, aot world, headcanon fanfic ♡ —
You let out a long sigh as you were heading back to the survey crops headquarters from your training. Today was a really busy and stressful day as you had to train a lot and also manage to keep up with everyone.
You joined not long ago and you still were trying to fit in, learn new skills from others, and kept on training to catch up with others. Many saw you as a really hard worker.
But, you recently been getting some help and advice from Captain Levi! The strongest solider that everyone talks about and with that, you both got close and Levi seemed to like your attitude, and would usually ask you for your opinion on things.
Everyone was quite shocked how Levi seem to show a little bit of interest in you and even spoke to you. Y/N was different, unique more like it and how they never gave up and still kept on going amazed Levi. He was a bit worried about you though cause you could be reckless, but he had your back always watching without you even noticing. Later then, he realized after sorting out this emotions and feelings he had....he actually had a crush on you instead!
It was a fact that Y/N was quite attractive and good looking, everyone had eyes on Y/N and Levi would sometimes be quite annoyed and pissed about how some guys who seemed to have bad intentions always trying to get a chance to talk to you and get you alone but Y/N would usually avoid them and leave the scene before it happens.
You were just such a likeable person though! Who wouldn't like you? and many tried to make a move on you but you made the scouts that you were hard to read. But instead for one guy.
A scout was keeping his eyes on you for a while, and with his friends telling him that 'he would never get a chance with y/n' made him take the bet and go for it.
"Hey there! I see you training hard? My name is Roy, nice to meet you" He said with a big smile and gave you a little wave while coming up to you. You were setting up your ODM gear and glance at him. "Oh, I see it's Y/N." You said normally, but you weren't going to lie, the guy did look kind of cute but you had a gut feeling something was up.
"Of course, you are the great Y/N everyone talks about." He said with a smirk, "You look so much prettier." You were taken aback by the comment and thanked him, it was not everyday you would hear this comment and someone saying that bluntly.
"Haha, you don't have to be shy! It's the truth so own it. Anyways, I'll see you later yeah? Bye!" He shouted out and ran back to his friends, and you stood there quite shy.
You did not notice that Levi was actually standing near the entrance of the headquarters and watched the whole thing. You could tell by his gaze towards Roy he was...glaring at him? "Tch." He scoffed and walked away from the training area, looking rather pissed but you managed to go over to him and caught up with Levi. There your bright energy opened up, and you gave Levi a bright big smile that you would only usually do for him. "Hi Captain Levi! How was your weekend? I haven't seen you for a while." Y/N said in a cheerful tone, they looked rather happy to see Levi and that made him relax and warmed his heart since his crush has always greeted him this way. "Hey Y/N, it was alright I guess. And Oi, didn't I tell you to just call me Levi? Drop the captain, don't wanna hear that from you." He said and crossing his arms and looking slightly away to hide his faint little blush on his cheeks.
He observed you for a while, and he realized that you were the only one who would talk to Levi like this and he was the only man you ever showed your cute and gentle side to! And the same goes to him, you were the only one who he showed his soft and nice side by his small actions and words. So, he felt really lucky and somehow was assured and felt trusted that you might not be interested in anyone else, and maybe....just maybe he had a chance!
"My bad, Levi" Y/N said after a small giggle which was one of his favorite sounds, hearing his crush laugh a little was one of the main things he wanted to achieve. "I'm going to do hand-to-hand combat training later. Could you perhaps train m-" Before Y/N was going to finish talking, Levi cut them off and said "Yea sure, don't ask me and just tell me what it is and I'll help you train."
Levi didn't notice, but he was becoming rather tender and considerate only to Y/N these days which not only shocked them but also made them happy. "Thanks Levi, you are the best! I'll see you later!" Y/N waved at Levi with a joyful expression and ran off. After that small interaction and chat, it seemed like all Levi's worries and stress was relieved and he gave a small smile. Not only that, but also another feeling he had earlier was gone, but he couldn't figure just what was that feeling from earlier?
Later on, training for hand to hand combat has started and you were there, ready and waiting for none other than Levi to show up. But, someone else showed up instead of him. "So we meet again, Y/N." You turned around and it was Roy, he looked rather excited and he was checking you up with a gaze that made you slightly uncomfortable. "Um...yea cause we still have training?" You gave him a confused look and raised your eyebrow at him 'Just what does this guy want...' you wondered.
"You aren't pair up with anyone, so let's train together!" He said cheerfully and was in his fighting stance, all ready without you even having the time to respond to his offer.
"W-Wait...I'm waiting for Levi to train me!" You finally said in a stuttering tone. "Levi? Ha....since when did you start calling him that? Anyways, I don't see him? So, train with me instead sweetheart." He gave you a flirtatious smile, and you sighed and brought out the wooden dagger which you took your stance and took charge at him. He somehow let you take the hit and you looked up at him "Wow, you are good!". He was not taking you seriously, and was playing around with you, teasing you more like it. While you were training with Roy, without any warning he made you trip and you fell on the ground which you felt your knee starting to hurt. "Oh no. Are you okay?" Roy said and bent down, to check your knee. You felt it was done on purpose just to get you off guard, and so he can get closer to you.
With your surprise, he brought his hand out and pushed your hair back and behind your ear and then touched your cheek which made your eyes wide "No one should be allowed to look that good. How do you do it?"
"Huh...what do you mean?" Y/N said, all confused and tried to get up but Roy's grip made you not get up so easily. "Say, tell me how are you still Single?"
Before you could respond, someone quickly grabbed Roy by his wrist and pulled him up quickly. "You....The fuck do you think you are doing?" It was....Levi! He gave a death glare to Roy who now seemed to have been displeased. "I'm helping them up...What do you think you are doing holding me like this?"
"Did I ask you a question? It a command, answer it. What. Were. you trying to do." Levi said now in a very serious tone that gave off a scary vibe and everyone had stopped their training and were all frightened. Levi was not dumb, he clearly knew what Roy was up to, seductively flirting with you which he ignored before he knew you would not respond to it but.... he then purposely made you trip which he noticed and was not able to hold it in any longer.
"Do you want me to fucking break your leg to answer me?" Levi was being impatient and without any hesitation and not giving Roy any time to respond, he knee kicked him right up his chin and that made him fall down on his knees and covered his nose which was now bleeding. "You little shit, and you dare even question me after disrespecting Y/N? You have a death wish for sure."
Levi was about to kick him when Y/N quickly held on his arm and pulled Levi a bit back, holding on to his arm. "Stop! That's enough Levi. Don't bother with him, I'm fine now!" Y/N said, trying to calm Levi down and reassure him.
He stayed silent, and looked back at Roy, deciding on what to do. "Hm...Alright. I'm only stopping cause of Y/N." Levi took Y/N's hand which shocked everyone in the training area, including Roy and Levi turned around while saying in a cold tone. "Roy, you have cleaning duty for all the toilets at the HQ for a month and it better be fucking clean or I will make you redo it. You are nothing but a piece of trash so be useful and clean them."
Levi still, holding your hand tightly, pulled you and you both were walking away from the training area, away from everyone else. Y/N was blushing now and was looking at Levi's back head where they clearly saw his neat underhair cut. 'Levi why did he do this....' You wondered and Levi then stopped walking when you both reached near the stable. "Are you...hurt?" He said, turning around to look at you with a slight worried expression. "N-No, and thanks for back there." Y/N said, blushing even harder and looked down. "But, why..." They finally said looking directly at his grey eyes which soften, this was a question that kept killing Y/N's curiosity.
He stayed quiet, and looked away from your gaze. He seemed to refuse to respond. 'Wait....don't tell me!' Y/N then jolted their head up which caught Levi by surprise (worried if they noticed-) and they immediately said in a hyper tone.
Y/N: "Oh Levi....were you-"
Levi: "No."
Y/N: "You sure? Cause I swear you-"
"Shut it. I was just being annoyed by him, alright?" He would say and ruffle your hair gently. He wanted to hold you, hug you. You were just too adorable to him! But he knew he couldn't do any of that.
"Weird...I don't recall saying anything about that. But you just proved to me you were actually jealous!" Y/N said, and let out a happy and cheerful laugh. He would not admit it, but he felt embarrassed right now.
"Tch, brat are you gonna actually keep saying it now?" He said with a slight blush and turned around, "Well...Not till you be honest with yourself." Y/N told Levi in a shy tone, and still with a smile that was too big it hurted their cheeks, they were just too happy to see Levi like this!
You weren't going to lie, but seeing Levi jealous really made you feel something and so did he!
He took your hand gently and caressed your hand with his thumb. "If you want to know....come to my office?" Levi, was now a blushing mess, he was being nervous but he knew that at some point he had to let his feeling out because it was not an easy one to handle despite him being emotional he was able to control that but this was a special case and today proved that to him. He had to let you know.
You both went to Levi's office, and he pulled you closer and looked at your eyes which was filled with lust and love just for you "Please....Could I?" Levi said softly which had a little bit of nervous and tense tone. You then realized and confirmed, you both did actually shared the same feelings and behind closed doors while the evening was approaching you both slowly started to kiss each other even though you both were new to this sort of thing you took it slowly, and kept trying it again and again, till you both got the hang of it. Levi did that just to show that he wanted to make you his starting tonight and not having anyone else flirt with you anymore and that that he was capable of being romantic to u too! You never saw him this clingy, it was super cute.
With your reassurance and talk with Levi, your words would comfort him and calm him down and he then started to trust you even more which he was since the beginning but now that he got your approval he never felt such a lucky man.
Now, no scout with bad intentions ever dared to come up to you and Levi does not take it lightly next time if he even sees someone checking you up, or making you uncomfortable. With this, he promised to protect you from any harm and swore to that, he wanted to be your protector.
So poor them who ever tried to flirt with you and poor Roy stuck with a broken nose and having cleaning toilets duty!
But thanks to Roy, Levi finally was able to explain and show/say his true feelings to Y/N and now he can keep Y/N close to him only and cherish and protect them without any hesitation. He truly did value and care for Y/N.
This was actually so fun to write up ahhh and I find Levi acting sort of like this when he explodes at the person trying to flirt with his crush and the one responsible making him jealous! (I don’t think he would explode or lash out on his crush/lover, he is too mature for a situation where someone flirts with them, he would lash out on whoever is hitting on them instead of his lover ofc) I hope you enjoyed this anon and sorry this was late but hope you enjoyed it and if you did or anyone else please leave a like or a reblog!🥺 ♡♡♡

hey my loves   !   i’m mia  ,  21 from the east coast   !   i have not roleplayed in sheeeesh   ...   like five or six months   ?   but i am so excited to be here for opening with all of y’all   .   i spent like all morning trying to weed out this gal logan right here   ...   she’s a trip   ,   that’s the best overall description i have for ya   .   anywho   ,  lets get to the actual thing you’re here for her lil intro   .   also if you wanna mssg on discord here ya go   𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐬 𝖜𝖍𝖔𝖗𝖊#7040   .
Tumblr media
logan samara-de jaager was spotted in the fashion district adorning  air force 1’s university blue  , with some airpod pros on . they’re most likely listening to  benz i know by kelvyn colt  . you may know them as  @delogan  or as that  bella hadid  lookalike . their  twenty fourth  birthday just passed . while living in  the upper east side  , they’ve gained a bit of a reputation . they’re known to be  querulous  but on the other hand  passionate  . wonder if they’ll be the next person to hit the headlines . ( cisfemale / she/her +  mia / twenty one / she/her ) + ( “ logan de jaager seen shoving ex in hotel footage during heated argument , not so sweet huh? ” / “ miss de jaager was spotted sneaking into ex beau’s apartment , what could she be up to? ” / “ sweet socialite or greedy trust fund baby ? milan de jaager publicly accuses daughter logan of stealing $1M … ” )
born into the true lap of luxury . the daughter of real estate magnate & high - profile attorney milan de jaager and his wife , british born socialite lana samara . the two of them held high favor within the 1% but were also able to find a perfect balance . they did a great job of separating personal life from the tabloids . it was rare to really know the happenings of their day to day . they had this particular kind of mystery to them , if you will .
it wasn’t long before lana began to instill the very same rhetoric she received as a child into her own   .   quality over quantity   ,   was the motto   .   just not in the way you’d assume   .   the quality at which a de jaager presented themselves to you was much more important than than quantity of time you spent with them   .   looks   ?   they’re everything   ,   in the de jaager household   .   time was simply a societal construct implemented to catch you on a bad day   ,   for that very line of thinking they embodied being late   .   rushing out of the house to finish your make up in the car   ?   a literal sin in the eyes of her mother   .
she was encouraged to take part in ballet and beauty pageants growing up   .   anything that could showcase how beautiful their daughter was lana and milan were on board for   .   personally logan hated ballet but she couldn’t deny she loved the applause the night of a showcase   .   she also couldn’t stand pageants but loved having all eyes on her as she went on stage   .
it became quite clear as the years went on that her parents were much more like close friends to their daughter than like rule - instilling guardians   .   she would text them to dismiss her from school   ,   get them to buy her   &   her friends alcohol for sleepovers  /  parties   ,   was very much so that kid who got high with her parents   .   really anything you could do with your friends   ?   was fair game with logan   &   her folks   .
at sixteen a friend of her moms who was going to be a designer for spring fashion week that year asked if logan would want to walk for him   .   she was quick to accept the offer and before she knew it she had multiple offers to walk in that years fall fashion weeks   ,   because of how easy it came to her   -    though   ,    she’s the first to admit she never really took modeling all that seriously   .
it was just a year later that her way of life changed drastically , logan and her twin brother had been caught by paparazzi on a friends boat in the hamptons snorting a white substance , anyone with eyes knew exactly what the group of teenagers were doing . upon returning home the two received the crackdown of the century . their once friendly parents turned to strict jail like guardians . often reminded that they put the families reputation at stake . the pressure to be perfect was something logan had never had to deal with until now & she almost cracked under the pressure at every turn .
it wasn’t until she left for college that she was finally given some room to breathe , attending the university of florida was the best choice for what logan truly wanted to do with her life - become a sports analyst . growing up she was infatuated with sports & and would have been involved in much more than just cheerleading had her mom allowed for her to get so much as a speck of dirt on her . during her time in florida the paparazzi seemed to find her more often than not , something her parents often denounced both over the phone & in public . the longer she spent away from the upper east side the more she became america’s sweetheart & simultaneously a thorn in her parents side . she graduated from university in 2018 , only returning back to new york for the sake of work . she’d been offered a reporting job with espn , on top of taking up modeling gigs here & there when ever she felt necessary .
personality …
one thing is very true about the de jaager’s & is very much so the same for logan ; she is not to be trusted . she can be extremely charming when she wants to be . she could sell a bag of rocks to a beach & get a princess to sell her sole to sex work . she knows exactly what people want to hear & when they want to hear it and has no qualms about lying straight to someone’s face if it means she gets something out of it . in fact sometimes , she might lie to your face just for the sheer fun of being able to call you gullible .
she’s very much so a spoiled brat although she hates when anyone call her one , she feels like she has more layers to her than that broad term . hand in hand with that is her drama queen like tendencies , any situation were there is a simple solution she will find a way to blow vastly out of portion .
due to her mother’s heavy influence growing up , she can be rather vein & materialistic . catch her like “ i can’t date a garbage person ” to someone simply because they’re not as rich or known enough for her liking .
it’s rare that you’ll ever see her jump out of character . she’s very calculated & aware of who she is ( or who she needs to seem like ) so if you ever see her emotions getting the better of her , you’ve really broken her .
she’s the type to dabble in a little bit of anything   ?   she’s a rich nyc party girl who’s been partying well before anyone should have allowed her to so she’s done it all   .    you’d be kidding yourself to think you could surprise  /  scare logan on a wild night out   .
she’s quick   &   creative with her sense of humor   .   she has both a crude / dry sense of humor   ,   as well   ,   and really just doesn’t find goofy things to be funny but more or less embarrassing   ( so if she ever tells you you’re goofy , remember it’s not a compliment ) .
her upbringing   &   parents sentiment on tabloids once reflected massively on logan   ,   but now she couldn’t quite care less about it all . after all she spends hours in front of cameras on a regular basis for work . although she does tend to shy away from people who she deems are hungry for fame or attention   .   she’s been used in the past for fame   &   will never let it happen again   , plus she’s the type to lap up attention so she likes to have as little fame whores around her as possible , more shine for her .
when she isn’t being a total nightmare though she’s actually really fun to be around ? she’s playful & loves to keep the party alive . often can be found claiming “ i’m high on life ” although everyone saw the pictures , logan , we know what you’re really high on , girl .
very chatty girl , too . victim of foot - in - mouth syndrome , big time . she doesn’t try to be disloyal & spill people’s secrets ( or does she ? ) but she can’t help herself . if she has piping hot tea she’s gonna spill it because she doesn’t wanna burn herself .
very observant girl , who loves to people watch but her observations can sometimes get muddled when she starts judging people a little too hardcore .
she’s also a undercover couch potato    &    by that i mean if you give her an option to go out   &   do something she’ll never outwardly choose to stay home to watch netflix and snuggle up under the blankets but secretly she’s hoping   &   praying she gets a chance to do so   .
plots   ...
END THIS ( L.O.V.E ) / her first love   .   these two brought the absolute worst out of one another   .    they messed her up so much that she has a weird perspective on what love between two s/o’s should even feel like now   .   maybe they had another s/o at the same time as her   &   kinda just strung her on   &   when it came out were able to lie so much to her that she believed them   .   idk   ,   in truth we could really plot something completely different as to what they did   &   inevitably what the breaking point was   .   maybe they broke up with her   &   had they not ended it maybe she would’ve still been okay with being in the relationship   .   idk i just feel like this one could be fun as hell   .     also they’d be the one whom she was caught arguing with in one of her headlines   .   ( 0 / 1 )
AFTER PARTY / this is a more reckless take of party buddies   .   im envisioning a group of people who when the parties over they all pull up to close by gulf course   ,   indulge even more in their choices of substance   ,   there is a naked gulf tournament going on   ,   there are drunks driving golf carts   ,   swerving and pouring bacardi all over the course   .   running from security when they pop up   .   it’s tradition at this point   &   if someone doesn’t come it’s almost disrespectful at this point   .   idk i just love the thought of this kinda vibe   .   ( 2 / ? )
SECRETS / okay so this one is messy   .   basically logan was very private for most of her life   (   thanks mom   &   dad   )   and during the early stages of highschool she lied to everyone saying she was a virgin   .   she told each one of these individuals that they were her first whether it be to make them fall for her   “   innocence   ”   ,   want to chase after her   ,   or whatever else we might be able to plot out   .   inevitably they compare notes at some point and find out that she’d been lying to them all   .   we can plot out how they confronted her i feel like we could make this real dramatic though   .   this would also be a backstory plot so   ,   we  can also plot out how things have transpired since for them   .   ( 0 / 3 or 4 )
BEST FRIEND / these two girls take best friends to the next level   .   they relate to one another on every level and are there for one another at all times   .   there is never a moment where they are competing with one another because they know that their #1 in there respective category   .   they are one another’s ultimate hype beasts   .   they truly embody chaotic goddess vibes   .   it’s like they were placed on this earth simply to be friends because they compliment one another that well   .   ( 0 / 1 )
LETS FALL IN LOVE FOR THE NIGHT / they are the one that’s there whenever she’s down   .   they have the ability to make her feel like they have some sort of old love whenever she’s around them   .   those feelings only last for the night though   .   they enjoy when she rambles on about sports or the novel she just recently read or really just anything she enjoys can put a smile on their face   .    they know better than to ever confuse what is going on between them though   ,   they know that she’ll never be theirs   .   whether they’re okay with this or not we can definitely plot out   .   ( 0 / 1 )
MOANA / they are not a fan of logan   .   they see her for what she is   :   an attention seeking   ,    spoiled brat and the fact that they don’t want anything to do with her makes her want them all the more   .    when they finally slept with her it was only to prove a point to her s/o at the time   ,   to prove that she’s not the sweet girlfriend she claimed to be   .   basically they’re the person who outed her for being a ho ho ho but despite knowing that they outed her for that she still tries to hook up with them because they were the best she ever had    .   they often turn her down but after a while not even they can deny that they’re attracted to her   .   they still don’t fuck with her though   .   also i think it’d be cool if their were two of them   &   maybe they worked together to out her to her s/o that didn’t believe she was a cheater   ( 0 / 2 )   also bring the s/o that they outed her to   ( 0 / 1 )

TRUST NOBODY / this is someone who used logan for fame / attention   .   they either became close friends or even started dating   &   they used everything they learned about her or what went on between them to relay back to a tabloid / would call paparazzi to come and take pictures of them together whenever they’d go out   .   ( 0 / 1 )

Hello! May I ask scenario about the Nekoma manager at the national training camp (where Miya, Kageyama, Hoshiumi etc.)? She was called there as the best manager. And Atsumu fall in love with her.
Nekoma Manager Pt. 2
- (Atsumu)
a/n: lol y’all probably thought this would be a short scenario but nope I like to write long stuff hehe so here ya go!! I hope you enjoy it 💘 pt. 1 pt. 3 pt. 4
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Life as the Nekoma manager was steady. Hectic, and practically babysitting twelve hyper menaces, but steady. You had become the team’s backbone, the one they would turn to to make sure things were up to par.
At this point in time, it was pretty evident that your analytical talent had begun to shine through. It had gotten to where coaches from other teams would seek you out to ask for quick guidance, whether it be for a specific player, a play they used, or on the team’s connectivity overall. Many knew you by name.
On one particular day, came a couple of surprises.
“Alrighty boys, huddle up! There’s a couple of announcements to be made,” the coach boomed. The team quickly circled around you and the coach.
“As you know, the All-Japan Youth Training Camp is coming up. Luckily, we’ve been fortunate enough to have one of our members be extended an invitation!” the coach beamed. The players excitedly began to exchange looks, as if they already knew who it was. You were curious as well, with a few possibilities running through your mind as to who it could be.
“Now, this member hasn’t been with us too long, but they have definitely made their mark on the team, and I think I speak for all of us when I say that I am very proud that their talent is being recognized. So, without further ado, go ahead and give your congratulations to y/n!!”
It took you a second to process, and within that one second the whole team managed to suffocate you into a giant group hug.
“Congrats y/n-chan!!” “You’re the best, you deserve it!!” “We love you y/n!!” “Remember us when you’re famous!!”
Once they release you and allow you to finally breathe, there was one more surprise.
“Congratulations, kitten. The team is so fortunate to have you as a manager, and as both a thank you and congratulations, the team decided to pitch in and get you this,” Kuroo hands you a thin wrapped box.
The team is eager for you to open it, and inside you find a sleek, brand new iPad along with an Apple Pencil.
You tear up, “This is for me? You guys didn’t have to!”
Lev pipes up, “All of us felt bad about your hand cramps and paper cuts from hand-writing all your notes. You always care for us, so we wanted to do something for you.”
You’re speechless, a tear slipping in gratitude. Instead of thinking of what to say, you take the iPad out of the box and tell everyone to scooch in for a team selfie.
“Everyone say Nekoma!” “NEKOMAAA”
You made it your wallpaper.
Tumblr media
A few days later, you’re on the train on your way to the training camp. Just as you worry about being alone in the sea of people, you spot a familiar face.
“Tobio-kun!”
The blueberry-haired boy turns toward the sound of your voice. “Oh, hello y/n-san. Where are you on your way to?”
You look down at your directions. “I’m on my way to the youth training camp! I actually got invited to help manage. They want me to analyze their players, kinda what I do now, but a little more intense. I hope I’m going the right way though,” you nervously laugh.
Kageyama reassures you. “Oh, I’m on my way there as well. Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure we’re going the right way...this should be interesting for the both of us then.”
Turns out, you did go the right way. You’re soon met with the coaches in charge and introduce yourself, eager to get started.
Once the formalities were out of the way, one coach began to introduce you. “This is y/n, who is not only Nekoma’s manager, but one of the best in volleyball analytics we’ve ever seen so far. She has the same level of authority of any of us coaches. She is here to benefit your growth, therefore, if she wants you to do something, you need to do it. Understood?”
Everyone in the line nodded. Soon, you were going down the line of players, having them state their name, year, school, and position. You had uploaded pictures of each player that the coaches provided, and jotted down the general info underneath. God, this new tablet was so convenient.
Things were running smoothly until you reach the last player in line, a confident one with a lazy smirk plastered on his face.
Atsumu Miya. Second year. Inarizaki High School. Setter.
You’re scribbling out a couple of footnotes when you hear, “So, you’re our personal cheerleader for the most part, right? Well, you don’t have to critique me too much, since I was number one high school setter and got ‘best server’ at the Inter-high. Just in case you wanted to write that down too,” you look up to meet a sly wink and grin.
You put your tablet down at your side and the other hand on your hip. Everyone had their eyes on you before, but they were definitely paying attention now.
“Atsumu Miya, is it? Listen. This not only goes for you, but for all the players here. I may know a couple of you personally, but the second drills start, I’m observing each of you as if I’m seeing you for the first time. So anything you’ve done before stepping foot in here, you need to leave at the door. I’m going to analyze every single one of you with the same level of intensity to be fair. So I’m more of a coach than a cheerleader, I think.” Your statement wiped the smirk off his face, but there was still a glint of amusement in his eyes.
You turn and walk back to the coaches, who now give the vibe that they take you even more seriously. The main coach turns to you and suggests, “On that note, I think we should start our warm ups. How should we start?”
You think for a moment, and propose, “I think we should do some across-the-floor serves just to get them warmed up, and so I can see them individually.”
“Alright, you heard her! Let’s line up and begin!”
Tumblr media
The first day came to a close, so you began to help some of the boys pack up the equipment. You’re taking down the net with Kageyama and Chigaya, who had reunited. They’re careful with their words as they bring up the earlier incident. “You know, if he ever bothers you again, just let us know.” “Yeah, it won’t sit right with us knowing if you’re ever uncomfortable.”
You wave your hand in dismissal. “I’ll keep that in mind, but it’s okay. I can handle it.”
Out of nowhere you hear, “Just know if you ever want me to teach him, let me know. I’ll clean up that little filth. Only real scums disrespect women.” You turn around to find Sakusa tenderly looking at you, only to turn to Miya’s direction and stare daggers into his figure.
“It’s okay boys, I’m fine, really. If I ever feel uncomfortable with anyone here, I’ll be sure to report it to someone. Okay? I do appreciate you all,” you reassure them, just in time to have the coaches summon you to start their strategy meeting.
Later on at dinner, you’re sitting with the coaches, exchanging funny and wild stories of things you’ve seen at matches. Kageyama and Chigaya sit together, eating and making idle chit-chat, when Atsumu goes and pulls up a chair to join them.
“So, Kageyama. You know y/n, don’t you?” Miya inquires.
Kageyama finishes chewing. “Yeah, Like they said, she’s Nekoma’s manager. She’s a pretty good friend to both myself and Karasuno. Really nice. I’m not surprised she got invited here. Extremely accurate in what she does.”
Miya chuckles. “You seem to know her pretty well. Do ya know if she’s single, too?”
That catches Kageyama off guard. “Well...uh...I’m not sure. I think so, it might have been mentioned at the summer camp...I don’t think we should talk about her business like that, what’s it to you?”
Once again, Miya has a lazy grin on. “Relax, it’s just general curiosity. At what I said to her this morning, it was only to get a feel for her vibe. That’s the first time a girl genuinely challenged me, most girls usually flirt when I talk to them. Now that I know she wasn’t, I’m kind of interested. She’s got that spunk ya hardly find, ya know?” He looks at you thoughtfully.
Kageyama snorts. “Yeah, good luck at that,” Chigaya shakes his head.
Tumblr media
The next couple of days go by. Miya may have seemed to be joking, but he was actually serious when he said he was interested.
At first, it was innocent. He apologized for what he said, and made sure to let you know that he takes you seriously in your position. He then began to take good note of your critiques, immediately correcting anything that you suggested needed to be improved.
At some point, his interest began to grow. The two of you began to converse a little more, starting to get to know each other a little more personally. It was then he would offer you sweet compliments and subtle flirtations. These would go over your head, thinking he was just being polite, but the rest of the players deemed it obvious, and began to be a little protective.
There were times when a slight spark was shared. When Atsumu would accidentally brush against you, or when you would adjust his hands to make sure they were in the correct position for the drill. You didn’t want to put too much thought into it, but you could feel yourself blush every time. You usually would counter it by saying something sarcastic. But if only you knew that your playful teasing was watering Atsumu’s growing feelings.
“Y/n-san, have you ever been on a date before?”
You’re caught off guard from Miya’s question, and look of from the plays you were studying.
“Nope.”
“Really? You mean to tell me that someone as feisty and exasperating as you has never gone out with anyone?” you can hear the teasing in his voice. And a hint of something else, too.
You roll your eyes and push his shoulder with yours. You fail to notice how he leaned in a little more than before.
“No, Miya-kun. As hard as it is to believe, no one has ever had the courage to ask me.”
He presses his shoulder to yours in return.
“Well, what if someone at this camp wanted to take you out? What would you say to them?”
You feel his intense gaze on you, so you turn and stare just as deeply back.
“I would tell them that they need to beat Nekoma in order to take me on a date.”
He smirks, his eyes lingering on your lips for a split second. But it was long enough for you to notice. “Sounds like a deal to me, then.”
You raise a brow, “Oh? And who’s asking?”
Atsumu gets up and begins to stretch. “Just curious, is all.”
Tumblr media
The camp had come to a close, and you were all bidding your good-byes. Kageyama and Chigaya offer to walk along with you back to the train station. You begin to walk out the doors when you hear someone call out your name.
You look back to see Miya raising his hand to you in farewell.
“Just so you know, y/n-chan, I plan on beating Nekoma very soon. Start thinking of somewhere you’d want to eat!”
You giggle and wave your hand in return. “We’ll see, Atsumu Miya.”

Monster Hunter Movie
Spoilers Will Be Present.
There are a lot of things one can say about the badness of the film.
To me there are two basic issues, which interconnect: Tone and Respect.
At the core of things the studio and director considered their own brands more important than the brand of their source material. This is an understandable mistake to make when you’re thinking business - after all how would you survive as a brand if you granted primacy to other brands all the time? - but concessions must be made or else you’re just appropriating the aesthetics.
That’s what happened here. And it’s half of what made the movie a bad movie.
I went in expecting it to be real bad and as a result I was only mildly disappointed in some missed opportunities as opposed to legit incensed the way some MH bloggers are. But I do not blame them for being angry.
The plot, basically, is: Some army folks include Artemis, who you probably know is the main character because a) she’s the captain b) she’s Milla Jovovich and c) she’s the character you played as in the movie crossover event in MH World two weeks prior. They’re looking for Bravo Team when they get sucked into a dimensional rift and dropped in the land of Monster Hunter. So far so Isekai.
They encounter a Black Diablos which doesn’t act much like the monster from the games. Also a hunter played by Tony Jaa fires a paint bomb warning shot at them - It’s unclear whether he was trying to get them to leave or just thought the paint bomb would let them know they were in mortal danger.
The Black Diablos kills one of them and they run into some rocky terrain to escape.
This turns out to be the nest of roughly a thousand Nerscylla - horrible spider monsters. These kill everyone else over the course of an 11-minute, uh, tribute to Starship Troopers I guess we’ll call it. Artemis survives. There’s a 20-second sequence I thought was very good as a scene but belonged in a non-MH film, where she escapes the nest where she just watched eggs on her buddy burst with baby Nerscylla and then suddenly rips off her army gear to check herself for eggs in this frenzied panic. Seemed like both a smart thing to do and a reasonable trauma response to expect from someone.
But it shouldn’t have happened at all.
Backing it up, the 11 minutes before it shouldn’t have happened.
Nerscylla isn’t a pack hunter. They don’t grow in gigantic broods. But more than that the whole scene was...mean-spirited, and ugly.
Something that is important to understand about Monster Hunter as a franchise is that the seriousness of the stakes - the town is always under attack, or some ancient species of monster has awoken, or some new deviant mutation is driving smaller monsters into settled areas - is always, ALWAYS tempered by a fundamental directorial optimism. I think this film may be the first Monster Hunter thing where anyone dies and we see it happening. There have certainly been characters who mourned or wanted vengeance (more in the manga than the games) but that’s always something that happened before what we’re watching, and that’s really important to the tone.
Jovovich also has absurd plot armor, which, frankly, would have been fine - possibly even admirable - if they’d been adhering to the “nobody dies on screen” rule. Having someone get blasted across the landscape and get knocked out for a bit...as a player I’d have found this hilarious. As it is, there’s definitely a “why is this lady still alive” vibe that keeps cropping up because the movie’s taken a lot of time telling us that people in its setting are fragile chunks of meat that can be torn asunder at any moment.
Anyway, after all this trauma she encounters Tony Jaa and they fight. Why? Probably because he’s a martial artist and they wanted to get some mileage out of that fact. This is extremely dumb. Again, the only place where I’ve seen anything more than casual ribbing between humanoids in anything MH is the manga, and even there it didn’t come to blows. And within the context of this film these people have no reason to think the other’s an enemy and two extremely deadly reasons - the nearby monsters - to work together. Both have been presented as smart enough to know this. But fight scene. Long, stupid fight scene.
The fight nearly becomes fatal, and they realize it’s dumb. There’s another 5-10 minutes of bonding. This is fine! Jovovich and Jaa have decent chemistry (never aimed at romance, which is kind of refreshing) and there’s a really cute Demon Mode reference and also a product placement that turns out later to be a pretty cool linguistic joke (she gives him chocolate, calls it chocolate, he later uses the word chocolate to mean tasty).
They have a plan to get Nerscylla venom and use it to hurt Diablos, maybe paralyze or put it to sleep, so they can get across the dunes it’s guarding toward Jaa’s team and the dimensional storm Jovovich came through from.
The venom doesn’t visibly have any effect, which makes the whole planning thing feel wasteful.
Also, everyone’s use of the basic Alloy and Bone set of weapons gives people who’ve played MH the impression that none of these hunters have successfully hunted any monsters ever. One of the core points with the games is the loop of fighting monsters, carving them up, and using their parts to make weapons and armor you use against other monsters. But more than that, the presence of monster-armor on your npc fellow hunters in camp makes the world feel lived in, makes the people feel like part of the ecosystem.
So with a bunch of needless gore, they kill the Diablos. I actually was kind of excited that she carved a piece off of it - ah, she was going to make armor or weapons out of this near-bulletproof monster’s hide! No, she made a pallet to carry Tony Jaa, who got hurt in the fight. Then when he can walk they leave the big ol’ scale behind. OK.
Did I mention Ron Perlman’s in this film? Well he is, and while it’s a good visual match to have him as The Admiral he’s also - like the film at large - not optimistic enough. The character he’s playing is an old warrior who’s survived tons of battles and laughs in the face of danger. Perlman’s rendition is moody and serious, which once there are fight scenes is a mismatch with his fighting style.
Like I said way up top, there’s a willingness to use the aesthetics of the beloved franchise. Just not the themes. They aren’t willing to present things from a Monster Hunter Franchise perspective, because these gritty, brutal worlds are the brand of this director. When the franchise he was working with was Resident Evil, gritty, gory brutality was a brand match and the resulting film was one of the better video game movies out there (yes, I know that’s not a high bar). Here, it led to a movie with a lot of visually beautiful work but a tone that seems directly disrespectful to its source material.
So that’s a problem.
I said the tone made one of the two big problems. The other would be an issue even if I knew nothing about Monster Hunter, which is a series of structural flaws in the direction - mostly around the pacing of the film.
Army opener, fine. Trying to set up rapport. Diablos fight, too long. Nerscylla scene, WAY too long. Jaa-Jovovich fight, WAY too long. Bonding scene, fine. Planning to fight Diablos, too long. Diablos fight, fine. Jaa’s desert near-death experience, too long (didn’t need to happen at all). Jungle region, a little long but not bad. Rathalos encounter, fine. Ship scene, exposition dump, long and also boring. Rathalos fight...
The Rathalos burns two hunters to death on screen. See above, this is bothersome. It’s also chucking people across the landscape. Jovovich gets tossed into a portal back to earth.
Also off a cliff. We’re back to the “how’s she alive?” problem. She gets rescued by the army, they start to take her for treatment, the helicopter is attacked by the Rathalos.
For a tonal mismatch this is probably the best scene. I think this idea, very Reign of Fire, is what the director really wanted from the film. MH monsters in NYC, Lagiacrus attacking surfers from underwater, all that. We couldn’t afford those sets, so we get a dragon attacking army toys in a desert.
Dragon wins. I honestly appreciated the sale of how a dragon could win this engagement. I think the direction and editing successfully created a scene where the army losing the fight felt plausible.
Of course, this makes Jovovich and Jaa taking it down feel a bit much, but okay.
And we finish with what amounts to a tease of the idea of a series. I don’t get the sense that this is a genuine appeal. I think the “idea of more fights” is the ending. It doesn’t work, mind you, but this has become a kind of trope for one way to end a video game movie.
The thing I like least about this trope is that to hype up the audience the characters in the film all seem suddenly excited to be engaging in the activity we’ve been shown to be terrifying and deadly for the whole film. NOW they think it’s fun.
And that’s an extra layer of disappointment, because it indicates that we could have been having fun this whole time, if the director weren’t obsessed with brutality.

Tumblr media
ji soo’s relationship with gender is, in a sense, convoluted. it’s hard to put into words as it’s not comparable to that of a “universal” viewpoint or something that the majority (namely those who identify as “cis” or anything similar.) has familiarized themselves with. for ji soo themselves, they sustain a somewhat odd relationship with gender, its concept, how society views it, and the aspects surrounding and relating to dysphoria.
they, for all intents and purposes, do not... experience gender dysphoria how many would come to “expect”. they have no known triggers that could, potentially, exasperate the potential of dysphoria, and they personally have little trouble with the idea itself. what remains as brief exceptions to the rule are, thus far, being referred to any other pronouns besides “they/them” which, admittedly, still would not incite a perceived emotional outburst-- as what would be stated by those ignorant and anything similar. being referred to with “he/him” or “she/her”, for example, will hardly garner a reaction.
by this, it’s easy to think that they will simply ignore it. and this would be correct, to an extent, in that they will take the intent to ignore seriously. calling out to them with purely gendered pronouns will garner no such reaction (be it positive or negative, potentially.) and will, instead, entice a lackluster response. they will not comprehend that they were being spoken to (their pronouns are, in a sense, one of the few things they have kept from their previous life. they hold these very near and dear to their heart, lashing out immediately if these, too, would be taken away from them.) and, quite pointedly, ignore. those that are incapable of referring to them with, to put it bluntly, the most decent of common decency will be responded to in kind.
of course, they understand if slip ups and the like happen. they have no issue whatsoever in responding to whatever pronouns, but intent remains a key factor and so, by extension, do their speed in terms of reacting. to those that continuously disrespect them, they have no issue whatsoever in ensuring that the feeling be mutual.
this relates to their understanding (or what they would call it, anyway.) of gender as a whole. they believe it to be a spectrum (which, honestly, it is in some regards.) and, as such, have come to the conclusion that they simply do not vibe with it. what “gender” is the general population is not something they, personally, believe in. gender to them is a concept that will remain as both misunderstood and mysterious-- borderline cryptic in nature, and they strongly prefer to keep it that way. additionally, they don’t generally expect anyone else to adhere to this same core belief as theirs but, rather, a basic understanding of it. friends don’t need to agree with one another all the time, after all!
occasionally, this does put them into an odd situation regarding that of how they perceive themselves and how others perceive them. seeing as “dysphoria” isn’t, technically, a part of their experience... it’s difficult to say what is dysphoric for them and what isn’t. they have a high (if you’d be so kind as to view “high” as a percentage of exactly one-hundred.) probability of lashing out (of a highly violent nature, starting at the lowest of them raising their voice to “politely” correct the offending party and eventually reaching the high of them clawing at said person, fully intending at ripping into skin and tearing it into ribbons.) at those that are capable of figuring out what gets under their skin, so to say.
they gravely disapprove of those that try to “take away” their right to their pronouns-- “correcting” them (stating that they can’t have them as pronouns, trying to exploit “science” and “logic”, or simply stating that there are only “two genders”. there are more, of course, but those are first to come to mind.) or refusing them the lowest denominator of respect, in its purest form. to them, their pronouns are very... personal, a part of themselves that they’ve yet to forget and will fight tooth and nail in order to ensure their continuous possession of them. this also relates, quite strongly and intensely, to those in similar standings with their own identities.
misgendering their god (kyo, their one and only holy. their miraculous being and the one entity that’s always graced them in their time of need-- their god, their favorite, their love, and their faith.) in particular will always yield unfavorable results. due to investing so much of their time, their dedication, their trust, and their love into their god, ji soo is particularly wary of those that willfully misgender their god. initial misconduct they will aggressively correct (as they do to those in similar predicaments, facing the potential of never receiving the most basic of respect and the like.) those and will only grow more and more irritable as time progresses, even if the opposite party works in order to prevent such a mistake from happening again. regardless of how it has progressed, ji soo will eventually feel an indescribable need to separate from the individual. be it via killing or, less messily, “chasing them” away, they’re happy with either result.
they react to instances of dysphoria with provocative actions, more or less lashing out at those around them rather than attempting to “cope” with methods of self-harming. they do engage in such actions, however-- pulling at their hair, scratching at their cheeks and thighs, and chewing so hard at their lips that the skin looks akin to that of a freshly peeled orange. what’s more common, however, is their behavior when engaging in social interaction. they’re noticeably more irritable; they tap their foot impatiently, as if to silently ask the question “when are you going to leave?” as an example. they will continue to be overtly physical but will suddenly engage in more forceful, somewhat surly behavior. their hugs become firm and tense, fully knocking the wind out of you. their “love taps” become full-on pushes and shoves, intended at making someone lose their balance with ji soo more than capable of catching them but, instead, looking on with a wry smile. in a sense, they do these things with intentions of starting a fight-- they accept the consequences fully while putting on airs of an innocent, oblivious, and otherwise naïve persona.
ji soo’s defensive nature towards generalized misgendering is both born from genuine empathy and a selfishness. they assume that those that have experience in similar topics must “relate” to them, too, meaning that their feelings are one of the same. however, they also feel for these people, too. they feel a kinship with those in the same predicament (or something similar, for lack of better word.) as them and, as such, feel naturally inclined to protect and forcefully encourage others to respect them.
as such, their dysphoria does not sporadically flair up. it’s always enticed by an outsider force, someone (or something.) they are yet unable to control and, thus, encourage them to ensure a painless and “respectful” experience as soon as possible.

honey & a blue moon, aka jeongguk is hopelessly in love with a goddess oc that doesn’t know how to love
+note: mostly fluff drabble for a soft idea I’ve been itching to write,, kinda getting a feel for how absolutely whipped i can possibly make jeongguk 
drabble 2
Several times in a day, no, within the hour, sparkling, crescent eyes and a toothy grin popped in your mind, or popped up at your door. At night, under messy covers, you stared out at your heart in the sky. The pale moon was in its first quarter, and it reminded you of his starry eyes, how they light up when he talked to you. You didn’t need to sleep, but it was nice to do so. He was a comfort you didn’t want to admit, though you initially wanted nothing more than to get him off your back. The moon glowed a little more softly at your mixed feelings.
[4:26 am] You: Hey stinky
[4:26 am] You: are you up??
You tossed your phone aside and sat up, hugging your knees. Jeongguk was probably asleep but you opted for the chance he might text back. He had you under favorites, though he didn’t know you found out. It was cute and you wanted to save him the embarrassment. 
[4:39 am] gguk OJO: d yuo reali ze what time it is .?

[4:55 am] You: poor baby :(( Give me 15 minutes and I’ll bring hot chocolate
[4:57 am] gguk OJO: you’re bribing me nd it’s workin g 
You shrugged on some black pants and some sandals, pulling over a black hoodie you stole from Jeongguk’s closet a few months ago. He had 7 different black hoodies, so he wouldn’t mind one less getting dirty on his messy floor. 
Within 10 minutes you were at his apartment, black face mask bunched under your chin. There was shuffling from the other side of the door, fumbling with the locks no doubt, and a sleepy Jeongguk finally opened the door. You heart was warm, and you couldn’t help but grin at his goofy, love-struck smile. 
His hair was longer, coming down over his eyes in waves and loose curls, bed hair sticking out in different directions. Last month you commented on how nice he looked with his hair growing out, a passing comment that didn’t mean much to you. But being the lovesick boy he was, he stopped trimming it. It suited him, a heartthrob kind of vibe, but you kept that to yourself.
“G’mornin’,” he mumbled, voice husky with drowsiness.It was still dark outside.
“Morning. Sorry for being annoying,” you apologized while slipping off your sandals. 
“‘S okay. Yoongi’s not home?” Jeongguk asked. He knows you get restless when you have the house to yourself for more than a weekend.
You grabbed two mugs from the kitchen cabinet. “No, he’s been out of town with Hoseok for the past week. I think he gets back tomorrow.” He hummed, plopping down on a bar stool and resting his face on the cold granite counter.
“What does the god of war do these days, anyway?” he mumbled into the counter, starry eyes following you working around the kitchen.
“Yoongi? Normal lazy-people stuff. Road trips with Hoseok mostly. Not many people know gods live like normal people, or that we’re not just textbook stuff.” You stretched over the counter and tapped his nose, “Except for you, sleepy bunny-boy.” 
He broke into a lopsided grin, practically melting at your every gesture. You slide a mug of steaming hot chocolate towards him, and watch him sit up so fast he almost falls off the stool. He was a dork at heart. After an eager, tiny sip he made a face and winced at the uncomfortable temperature. 
“How come you’re not gonna drink hot chocolate?” he asked, blowing on his drink.
You shrugged. “Warm honey milk is just nicer on a cold night.”
“Lame. You just really love Ponyo, you weeb.” 
You stick your tongue out at him. “Can’t believe that in this day and age a mortal boy can call me a weeb and get away with it when centuries ago people feared me.”
“You sound like a vampire, old man.” You strode over and hit his arm, narrowing your eyes playfully at his giggling. 
“The disrespect. You’re lucky you're cute, Jeon Jeongguk,” you poked his chest with playful chastising.
Jeongguk’s cheeks lit up with faint reds, his eyes bright with playful mirth and embarrassment.
“You can’t just say that and not-” He fanned his face, lips in a ceaseless grin. You couldn’t help the snort you let out at seeing him so flustered. “You- Agh! You just- just- Ugh! It’s hot in here! Let’s go see your goddamn stars.” He took you by the arm and dragged you out to his balcony, your laughs sweet as you followed behind.
On his balcony you snuggled up on the patio couch, enjoying the crisp cold of the night. A pile of blankets and pillows were thrown at you, burying you in a heap of warmth. Jeongguk let himself fall on the pile, earning a jab to the ribs for crushing you. The cold night air was filled with hushed giggles and sleepy voices too eager for the ungodly hour that passed. It was warm next to him, warm in your chest, and you liked the pleasant feeling it left. The feeling of having another half to complete your whole. To him, you were a puppy-love crush, but to you he was a grey area whose company you enjoy. A lot. And those were feelings you didn’t want to complicate, preferring the numbness that accompanied centuries of roaming the Earth.
All of your friends knew Jeongguk had the biggest crush on you, the spitting image of a lovesick boy. It wasn’t a secret between both of you either, and you humored his efforts. Finding out you were a god, as disastrous as the events were, ended up in him clinging onto you more than before. Fear and ill-intent were expected but not received. Instead, he became a little bunny that burrowed his way into the heart of the goddess of the moon and hunt. And though at first you hunted him down to make sure your identity was safe, he ended up hunting you down without much effort for the following week trying to ask you out on a date. No date, but he got your friendship (semi-reluctantly on your part).
Jeongguk’s sleepy voice pulled you out of crowded thoughts, “Something on your mind?” You hummed and burrowed your body closer to his body, his warmth more comforting than the blankets piled on both of you.
“Mostly you.”
“Oh?” He raised a brow.
“You make me… confused.” 
“Confused how?” he prodded.
“Not sure,” you shrugged. Jeonguk gasped dramatically.
“Confused as in- you like me back?!” he joked with a throaty laugh. You pondered it for a moment, let the thought wallow in your thoughts.
“Yeah, maybe.”
At that he sat up, nearly spilling what was left of his drink all over both of you. “Shit, wait. Seriously?” You shrugged, your face quickly flushing and your gaze averting to the mug in your lap.
“Gods don’t really do relationships often, much less with mortals. But you- Being near you is nice. It’s warm and I like it.” 
You lifted your gaze, meeting his love-struck eyes with your weary ones. He didn’t say anything else, a loving, endearing gaze with a soft, tired smile. Neither of you spoke a word, the soft sounds of crickets filling the pleasant silence. 
Jeongguk broke the silence with a yawn, face relaxing into a content smile with drooping, sleepless eyes. He stood and pulled you up with him.
“Time for bed?” You nodded, a pleasant warmth blooming hot in your chest. 
“Time for bed,” you repeated with a yawn.
In the warmth of his covers you laid on your side, facing him. The moon’s faint glow cast into the room and you could just barely make out his half-lidded, doe eyes, a boyish grin still happily on his lips. From the dark his groggy voice spoke up softly.
“Did you know your eyes hold unborn stars in them? They’re beautiful.” 
In the dark, dozens of tiny twinkles reflected off your eyes, and for the first time you became flustered. He spoke mostly from sleep, and within the next minute his breathing softened, the lovesick boy deep in sleep. Your mind was still awake, now drifting off. Through fleeting, sleepless thoughts, you considered you might actually fall in love with him, and the moon began to glow brighter outside in tune with your fluttering heart. 
You didn’t want to hurt him.

My Summer With Natalie Wood
I’m so sad but this is my last post in this series.  I had so much fun getting to know Natalie Wood.  How hard she worked, how much she loved her daughters, and how much she excelled as an actress given the right setting.
Tumblr media
My last post was about the film Penelope which was released in 1969.  In the subsequent 10 years Natalie made several films both for the big screen and for television.  In 1971 she made Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice which was a commercial success but I found the movie to be boring and unfunny.  Then, after a 5 year break, she made Peeper with Michael Caine.  It was supposed to be a screwball detective comedy but the only thing that I remember about it was that I didn’t like it. 
In 1976 Laurence Olivier asked Natalie Wood and her husband (again), Robert Wagner to co-star with him in the TV version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.  This was a dream come true for Natalie since she had revered Vivien Leigh and was honored to work with Leigh’s husband and frequent co-star on material of this caliber.  However, and maybe not shockingly, the only person who is not terrible in the movie is Laurence Olivier as Big Daddy.  I guess he can do anything.  By the time I watched three bad movies in a row, I was beginning to think I should just stop the Natalie Wood series.  I never wanted to bash the memory of someone who worked so hard.  It seems disrespectful.
However, in 1979 she had three features released which I thought may have promise so I kept going.  One was Meteor with Sean Connery.  She got this part because she could speak some Russian.  It is a typical 70′s disaster film and held no surprises and was overall pretty underwhelming.  
She also made the TV miniseries From Here to Eternity, for which she would win her only award.  A Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series - Drama.  This really disappointed me for two reasons.  One is I really like the Golden Globes and her winning this was disappointing because she was not good in the part so why did she win?  And two, I watched the entire mini-series on Youtube to honor Natalie Wood’s award-winning work and then ended up with nothing good to say about it.  It was a shame really.
Then finally, I hit the jackpot with the made-for-TV Movie The Cracker Factory.  Understand I had no hope that I was going to enjoy this.  I had to watch it on Youtube.  It’s got an after school special vibe.  But Natalie Wood was fantastic.
Tumblr media
She plays a woman who cracks up from alcoholism.  Her husband puts her in a hospital-type program where she resides with downright crazy people.  Some of the story is ridiculous.  But I was first hooked in when they showed Natalie Wood drinking alone in a basement or den and sort of mumbling and talking to herself and then going into her bedroom in the middle of the night pounding on her sleeping husband to explain this revelation she’s had while intoxicated.  And it seemed so real to me.  I was hooked in.
Then we find Shelley Long (Cheers) is also a patient at this hospital and that’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys.  And we journey with Natalie through her trials and recovery and I even liked the end of the film which thoroughly surprised me.  Not because the ending was surprising but because, seriously, some of the story was ridiculous and I expected it to get mucked up at the end.  But Natalie Wood excelled and got to play a woman who would do anything to keep her family together.  It felt good and it felt authentic.
Tumblr media
It’s really worth your time to find this one on Youtube.  If you want to see Natalie in a role that called for a 41-year-old woman to play it.  I found her just outstanding.
I’m sorry to say I gave up trying to find the next-to-last film she made, which was The Last Married Couple in America.  I did find a TV interview with her talking about the film on the Dick Cavett show or Johnny Carson or something.  She seemed nervous to be interviewed on live TV and I couldn’t find the film to rent so I passed.
Her last film, Brainstorm, was in production when she died in 1981.  Her co-star was Christopher Walken and was one of the last two or three people to see her alive.  The film is weird.  But what parts Natalie completed before her death are not bad.
At the time of her death in 1981 she was beginning rehearsals for the live theatre version of Anastasia.  She was excited and nervous having never done live theatre.
I tried hard this summer to focus on Natalie Wood’s life and not her death.  Since both her daughters have expressed their acceptance of their mother’s accident, I have no right to delve further or suggest it might have been different.
And anyway, Natalie Wood’s life was more interesting than her death.  She worked and supported a family from the time she was 4 years old.  She survived and sometimes thrived in Hollywood.  She was the last generation to grow up in the Hollywood system.  She had the power and the drive to link old Hollywood with new.
Tumblr media
And she was damn cute.
So long Natalie Wood.  Thanks for spending your summer with me.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.
fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.
Tumblr media
My muse is:   canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /
Is your character popular in the fandom?  YES / NO / 50-50 (There’s a lot of love and a lot of hate, but I think many are actually pretty neutral on him too!)
Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom?  YES / NO / 50-50 (I’d say he may be an... acquired taste? Of course a lot of people I know here find him sexie so it’s hard to say for certain, heh. We may just be the weirdos of the fandom :P )
Is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO
Are they underrated?  YES / NO (Not in terms of ability, but underrated for just how complex and multi-layered he is, I’d say)
Were they relevant for the main story?  YES / NO.
Were they relevant for the main character?  YES / NO /
Are they widely known in their world?  YES / NO.
How’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL (I honestly think he’s a man of many reputations, both in canon and in fandom :’D)
How strictly do you follow canon?  —  I’m very much a ‘use the bones of what we got in canon and do my best to flesh them out’ kinda roleplayer. There are some things that can be taken too easily at face value that I see fit to build upon. For example, I think Jiraiya’s feelings on the prophecy and his relationship with Konoha is something that could be too easily played off as simplistic, or like they were immovable constants. But that’s unrealistic for a man of his years and many experiences, so I try to put myself in his emotional setting at various points in his life, and trace how his feelings and behaviours change, if that makes sense? 
I try to avoid saying that any of the writing was straight up wrong because it’s disrespectful to the creator. But especially for Jiraiya, who had such a significant role to play in the narrative that it sometimes took precedence over his actual character, I do find some of his actions, and the way some interactions were handled in the canon to be a little OOC... so I’ll work with it and try to spin it in a way that I feel fits how he was characterised.
Basically, I’d say that I follow canon, but I like to enrich it in areas that were lacking detail or a nuanced view that took in all the surrounding events of the time. After Jiraiya’s canon death, of course, that’s when more divergence comes in to my portrayal... otherwise I wouldn’t be able to play any post-war scenarios! But the essence of his character is the same, which I try to keep as close to canon as possible.
SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.   —  A man of many experiences! You can bet that any topic that comes up, he’ll have some sort of amusing anecdote to share, or be able simply to talk shit about it. He's seen so much, and has a sensitive soul enough that he’ll give anyone a chance; he’s very open-minded and non-judgemental, and honestly is a humanitarian that wants to help those in need. Might leave your muse a little baffled as to how he could hold the status of ‘legend’, only to show it when they least expect it. You never quite know what you’re going to get with him: he’s generous and selfless, yet has many vices that seem selfish at times; he’s both a lover and a fearsome fighter; he’s immensely resilient at the same time as incredibly vulerable and damaged; he’s a himbo and a bit of a jock with the soul of a poet. Love him with no restraint and invite his love in return, and you’ll get not only a lover, but a devotee. Wears his heart on his sleeve... or does he? Chip away at him and find out!
Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).  —  The pervy, flirty, jokey schtick could get grating, or come across as disingenuous. In romantic situations, he’ll keep quiet about putting a label on whatever it is, and beneath his overall sweetness and devotion there may be an underlying reek of commitment issues and a fear of admitting he is afraid. He also has a habit of deflecting negativity in general, and playing things off as if they don’t matter or they’re a joke, making him actually rather a difficult person to get to know the heart of. One might feel as if they’re getting nowhere with him...
... Either that, or they get the complete opposite. Yes, as equally as he can be guarded, he can overshare like crazy, and has a tendency to become codependent with those he gets attached to, which is inconsistent with his free-spirited nature, and how adept he is at keeping others at arm’s length from his less sunny side. This inconsistency might make him seem unreliable—if the fact he’s always off who-knows-where doesn’t do the trick already.
What inspired you to rp your muse?  —  I’ve been a big fan of the Sannin ever since I first read the Deadlock, but being a very young person at the time I perhaps couldn’t relate enough to people who had experienced so much to do them justice in my teenage fic-writing endeavours, so I remained on the sidelines enjoying content by other people (there may also have been a little bit of ‘what the fuck, why do I dig the old dude so much’ denial in there haha). I’ve picked up and dropped my obsession with the series several times over the years, and my love for those three seemed to grow each time. They really are ‘the lost generation’, and as the sole survivors—alongside having a huge impact on the plot, how the shinobi world is shaped, and the three main protagonists—there’s a lot of juicy material there, a lot of emotional background, along with decades of history that basically goes untapped in the canon. 
Anyway, I digress. Coming to the Naruto RPC for the first time around this time 2 years ago at the age of 25, I made this blog and my Deidara one on a whim, but focused on the latter at first. Villains were always comfortable territory for me in my other RP experiences, and I think it made me doubt that I could possibly do someone who is frankly a lovely guy any justice, no matter how much I loved him. I even had the intention of making him fully Akatsuki/Missing-Nin AU at first. Yeah. That’s how stuck in my villain/anti-hero zone I was! But, I think in the end, the fact he actually isn’t a two-dimensional typical ‘hero’ was something I chewed over and realised would be incredibly enriching to write, worth stepping out of my comfort zone for. And being a little more mature and less angst-ridden myself by that point, I found I could resonate with his feelings and ideals in a way that I know I couldn’t have as a teen... but I was still tentative. 
Anyway, after leaving his blog empty for a bit (with its placeholder URL ‘frogdaddy’, which sadly got hoarded by someone else), I cosplayed the old bastard, along with my partner as Orochimaru. We’d been stanning that particular ship and talking about how great the Sannin are in general for quite some time by that point, but being casually in character for fun while drunk off my tits at a boat party, was a bit of an epiphanic moment. Not long after that, I threw myself right into writing this chaotic-good old bastard with gusto, and here I still am :’)
What keeps your inspiration going?  —  Taking breaks to recharge as and when I need to. Seriously. The death of all my other blogs has been pressure (mostly from myself) to be there and force myself to put out regular content, so I went into this not thinking that way and it’s really helped! 
Of course, there’s also the fact that there simply seems to be no shortage of areas I can delve into with this guy. Again, it’s his age and all the missing years in canon... but I think it’s also how much love he has and his genuine eagerness to engage with others that makes him one of the most naturally bountiful muses I’ve played. Because honestly? Most of my villain muses wanted people to just fuck off :’D this guy is open to everything.
That aside, I guess I just gel with him more than I ever expected to. I’ve changed a lot as a person and gained more confidence since various areas of my life got better, and I really just vibed with this chill, funny, romantic, pervy, big-hearted energy. I enjoy angst, but my real love is peppering the serious and heartbreaking with romance and comedy—and isn’t that just befitting of him? Writing through his eyes also helps to keep my outlook positive, so that keeps me stuck on him as much as the seemingly limitless content potential. 
And this is without even going into my cross-fandom AU ideas I have on the back-burner. Honestly, they’re there but I want to put a real effort into them while keeping his essence the same, which for some, involves brushing up on my lore!
Some more personal questions for the mun.
Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.
Do you think you give your character justice?  YES / NO.
Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO.
Do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO / RARELY. (depends on whether I get a flash of inspiration—which mostly comes with random asks that happen to stir up an idea for a scene, such as this one (NSFW warning))
Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day?  YES / NO.
Are you confident in your portrayal?   YES / NO.
Are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO.
Are you a sensitive person?  YES / 50-50 /NO. (I tend not to take things personally but am also very passionate—call it my innate Leo-ness!)
Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?  —  Hmmm. I haven’t actually had any critique on my portrayal, so I’m not sure haha! I’d say if it’s constructive, then I’ll take it into account and consider it, especially if it’s a case where it helps me realise I’ve perhaps not gotten across what I intended to very well. But I’m also quite fond of my portrayal in its essence, so I may end up just thanking the person for their opinion and carry on as usual :P
Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?  —  Absolutely! I’ve had some wonderful ones recently and it’s exactly the kick I need to get ideas out, some of which I’ve had on the back-burner but not had a framework within which to write it without it getting derailed. I definitely appreciate a question that will keep me at least a little on-topic, otherwise if I go off on my own volition I really tend to... well, go off! Even if a question is a similar topic to something I’ve already done, it’s a good exercise for me to go back to the similar headcanon and see if I can build further on it, deviate, and link it to show what past thoughts I’ve been working with. A great way of keeping some consistency in my portrayal while making improvements, I find! And then of course I’ve had some questions that are entirely new morsels for thought, and it leads me to something new and fresh, which I greatly appreciate.
Basically, any questions at all, fire away! I may take a while but I will get to them eventually!
If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?  —  Yeah. I mean I think it’s just polite to present a reason as to why not, instead of just being like ‘this is wrong/a bad take’ or whatever. Source material is down to personal interpretation, so if I draw different ideas from it to another person after discussion, then we can simply agree to disagree on it. 
If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?  —  They are welcome to disagree with me I guess? So long as they’re respectful and don’t then treat me as if my interpretation is ‘AU’ or talk about ‘canon Jiraiya’ as if he’s obviously a different entity to my own, then disagree away. But if prompted enough, know that I will most likely defend my portrayal with what I consider to be justification from the source material :P I did pay close attention to it, after all, and I do consider my portrayal to align well with it.
If someone really hates your character, how do you take it?  —  Depends on the nature of it and the conduct, really? Like, people are allowed to dislike characters. I myself find a couple of characters pretty annoying or don’t particularly care for them (granted, usually it’s in a love-to-hate or simply a ‘this character doesn’t interest me’ way), but that doesn’t affect how I behave towards the RPer of a character. It’s just manners, really. People tend to RP characters because they like them, so why would you take negativity right to their doorstep, in this space they’ve made as an expression of enjoyment for, and to develop said character? 
There’s been some people who admitted to me that they didn’t care much for Jiraiya, but then began to like him more with my portrayal and that’s more than fine; I take it as the highest compliment in fact. It’s also the kind of open-minded attitude I like to have with portrayals of characters I don’t necessarily like or have much interest in, because by and large, people do tend to add more depth and nuance than the busy and character-packed canon allowed.
However, if it’s the type of hate that’s got its own devoted circle of bitter bitches, who seem to use so much energy hating a character... then please, don’t engage me. Doesn’t matter who the character is, don’t expect me to follow/keep following your negative ass if it’s constant on the dash—and if the target character is any of the Sannin then frankly I’ll have probably blocked/blacklisted in a heartbeat. The ‘critical’ views of them tend to diminish them as humans, diminish the context and events that surrounded their choices, and in a way that I find is a gross double standard compared to what people will allow other (read: young, attractive, fandom faves, ‘babies’ or ‘beans’) to get away with and excuse the behaviours of. I don’t need that kinda negative energy sullying my hobby, nor do I need moral superiority that isn’t applied consistently across the board.
Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?  —  Absolutely! I meticulously fret and check, and cringe when I get a reply and happen to spot errors while rereading what I wrote before it! I edit a lot but don’t always pick up on errors, so I’m more than happy to have it pointed out. Chances are, I’ll be far more brutal to myself about it than anyone else would be!
Do you think you are easy going as a mun?   —  Overall, yeah. I’m not possessive or clingy (I don’t think) and don’t expect the world from people, nor for them to focus on or favour me or be super fast. I just expect the same respect in return. Having said that, I will express it when I don’t like something or it makes me uncomfortable, provided we’re familiar enough, because if we’re strangers I’d feel like I was coming across as entitled to your energy and emotional labour. I do my best to be diplomatic about it though, and rest assured it doesn’t mean I’m forever mad at you or turned off in any way just because I have a small grievance. I just find that being honest with each other rather than letting things pile up and fester makes a friendship more solid, and basically more genuine and long-lasting.
That’s about it, congrats for filling out!
