Guardians 3 thought dump

Aaaah i actually liked an MCU movie for once

The Guardians were kind of the perfect team to go up against that type of villain, a team thats taken two movies to learn and are still in some ways learning that their differences and flaws are what makes them a family, up against someone who sees those flaws as a failure to be discarded. All of the Guardians spend a lot of time across all three films trying to escape how others view them, so this antagonist really feels like the perfect choice to culminate the trilogy

Also man the russos took a fat wet shit all over gamoras arc and james gunn still managed to salvage it and make it work, I was fucking terrified the whole movie that they were gonna end up together when thats literally impossible with this gamora, But gamora calls out quill immediately in this, and tells him thats shes not that person he so desperately wants. Peter still at least has the arc that he was meant to have regardless of gamoras fridging, where he needed to realize that hes projecting what he needs from other people onto those people, especially gamora. The movie still hints that they COULD end up being together, they just both need to spend time becoming more actualized versions of themselves. And peter needs to resolve more of his emotional baggage and sexism.

Its funny because from the way 2 ended its really obvious that gunn had planned for them to be together in 3 but that basically got ruined when she got tossed into the infinity stone pit. :/ i’m glad gunn was smart enough to realize that trying to redo 2 movies worth of relationship buildup across one movie was a bad idea

Lets see what else

Oh, hey Nathan fillion, long time no see! I’m glad you finally got to be in a story about a ragtag found family in space that didn’t end up getting canned, and i think the fight you did in the building that looked like a middle school science textbook illustration rocked, 10/10 keep rocking the Michelin man fit

I like that Adam Warlock is a big dumb idiot man that carries a pet around and listens to king crimson because its super obvious gunn had no clue what to do with him but had to have him there because the mcu continues to be an ever expanding nightmare mess. 10/10 no notes

Obviously the i am groot reveal was cute, and also a kind of cycle break that didn’t feel forced or like it had extra gravitas added to it, the reveal that the audience is part of the family now just gets to be a simple little moment

I love that nebula gets to be relatively more relaxed in this movie on the whole, she honestly deserves it, let her sip her lil sodie pop.

I loved Draxs lil dad moment in the third act as well, and how it ends up forcing nebula to learn that emotional intelligence is just as vital to have a practical intelligence. Up until that point she really underestimated him and a lot of the rest of the team because she had been taught by thanos a lot of the same things our villain believed, that theres only one kind of way to be, and that only perfection and results matter. She ends up learning through the guardians and drax that we each of our own individual strengths and perceived flaws, and that real perfection is in the culmination of those forces in our lives. I thought it was nice :)

The last thing i can think of is that I liked how a series defined musically by track from the 70’s and 80’s ends off with a track from the 2000’s. A way of communicating subtly our characters aren’t trapped in their past anymore. Great stuff

Anyways thats what i got atm, if you stumbled on this and are wanting more mcu stuff, sorry to disappoint, this is prolly the last mcu thing i’m checking in for unless something reveals itself to be more interesting in the future. I wanna try and talk more about other things tho, so maybe you will like those posts!

Testing this out

Obligatory RWBY, Ruby, Weiss, for the ship ask meme, plus Lapis for spice

So this is long, and for my own sake, Ruby and Weiss share the fav pairing and poly ship... Also because they are the same pairings lmao. Look. I can't excuse myself. I'm very bland with my ships when it comes to RWBY. Lapis, on the other hand--

Ruby:

NOTP: Rosegarden... I can't like it :(

BROTP: Nuts and Dolts. I used to like it a lot in the early days, don't know why I stopped liking it in a romantic way.

OTP: Whiterose! Pretty obvious, huh? I love them. Mean girl turned into an slightly less mean girl through the power of a cute girl who wasn't fazed by her being an idiot and crashed through her walls with the strength of a truck to make her realize she had to become a better person.

Second choice: Ladybug. I think there's so much potential for them. Looks like she could kill you but is actually a cinammon roll, and looks like a cinammon roll and is one, but could also kill you.

Fluffy Pairing: I think Pyrrhuby goes here, no? It also could go on the Angst part. I could have saved you. I should have saved you. I wasn't able to save you. I was so young, and unexperienced and now the weight of your death accompanies me forever in my journey.

Angsty Pairing: Fallen Petalls. I love you but I hate you because you did this to me. But then the factor that Ruby HAD to do that to Cinder, because they are on different sides and I'm the good guy and you're the bad guy and we can't be together.

Fav Poly Ship: Pretty obvious... Pollination my beloved. I love it. The prospect of loving one another so much that they end up pulling a team STRQ and become their own family.

Weirdest Pairing: Okay. I don't know if it's weird... But I have at least two wips that I would love to finish about Fiery Pollination (RWBY + Cinder). Like. C'mere Cindy, join the polycule. We WILL fix you, there is no escape, asshole!

Weiss:

NOTP: Uh... I don't know? I guess Whiteknight in a romantic sense. Mostly because of FNDM influence.

BROTP: Whiteknight. Look. It works. Specially after they went to the movies with Oscar and all those memes about them passing Oscar as their kid to get a discount. It just works!

Second Choice: If it's not Whiterose, I love Freezerburn. In canon it's sooooo obvious that Weiss appreciates Yang a lot, and she's even learning her dumb and stupid jokes and using them. I love that Yang seems to be the only one to appreciate them lmao.

Fluffy Pairing: For some reason even tho I don't like ND, I think that Frozensteel is pretty cute. Woe! Cute Neurodivergent girls be upon ye, Schnee!

Angsty Pairing: Schneekos... She's dead! And then you almost died at the hands of the same person that killed her in an eerily similar fashion. Maybe if you had been there for her, maybe if you had joined Ruby at climbing Beacon's tower... What if's, what if's.

Weirdest Pairing: Cinder/Weiss. I'm not sure what it's ship name is, but I read ONE fic where Cinder flirted with Weiss and it hit a switch in my mind lmao. They are so intense, I can see them getting on each other's nerves so much lol.

Lapis:

NOTP: Ugh Steven/Lapis. People used to ship Steven with Lapis on the early days. I remember it happening because Lapis looked more like a kid at the beginning, but then it persisted. I hated it so much.

BROTP: Lapis and Amethyst. Depressed and Anxious girls team up!

OTP and Fluffy Pairing: LAPIDOT ALL THE WAY BABEYYYYY. I WAS THERE WHEN WE BEGAN SHIPPING THEM AS A JOKE BEFORE 'THE RETURN' AND 'JAIL BREAK' HAPPENED. I died when they began living together in the barn. I really wished they could have fused :(

Second Choice: Pearlapis. I began shipping it because of their aesthetics. Plus, Lapis is supposed to be a high-ranking gem, and thus could have gotten a Pearl based off her rank. So... AU where that Pearl is our Pearl? Wihihi.

Angsty Pairing: Jaspis. The toxic relationship... Like yes we feel so good together but we're so shit to each other. :(

Poly Ship: Jaspidot. I like it! I read some fics when I was younger where Jasper got Stevenized (pfft) and she decided to get better. She mends her relationship with Lapidot aaaand eventually gets together with them. They were cuuute.

Weirdest Pairing: Ah. 4-5 people Polycule... Lapidot + Garnet. Don't ask me why!

january watches inspired by @thelittlestspider to post this!

2025 so far has been full of rewatches but I’m quickly making up for all the movies I didn’t watch in 2024 while focused on school and other things. anyway… the month was mainly rewatches of wicked plus a good chunk of the mcu. idk what came over me re: marvel but I’m back on my cap shit, it is what it is!!

total watch count: 26

wicked (2024) x4 obsessed with this. I just think it’s fun and pretty! I get so swept up in it that it feels short despite the runtime. I think my favorite bit is how much cynthia erivo is not doing an idina impression for even a second. I’m not complaining about how influenced ariana is by chenoweth but her performance is like clearly influenced, so cynthia not running that path stands out to me

empire records (1995) they don’t make dumb shit day in the life teen movies anymore!!!!!!! anyway imagine your staff are all roughly 18 and one of them gambles all the money in the safe I’d lose my fucking mind luv ✌🏽

waitress: the musical (2023) first watch. I think this was fine but I do wish I had an official version with jessie to watch :/

curly sue (1991) bad movie lmfao but so deeply of its time I’m still a bit charmed by the audacity

captain america: the first avenger (2011) pacing issues but still fucks like I really want to see more of the dancing monkey era and I think that whole montage of him getting better at performing the Captain America persona while also growing incredibly frustrated with the ineffectual circus of it and capped off by bombing in front of the troops he wishes he were part of is great

captain america: the winter soldier (2014) x2 put a gun to my head and I'll die screaming about my love for this movie idc

turning red (2022) niblings had me watching this movie so much in 2022/23 (and again in january) that I don’t like it and it’s not the movie’s fault because it’s good (& the song’s a bop!) but I just wouldn’t watch it by choice I'm so sorry

can't hardly wait (1998) I repeat: they don't make dumb shit day in the life teen movies anymore!!!!!!! amanda going off on that boy was real and not at all undermined by him having a crush from afar so like what did she change her mind for 😭😭 but good sweet fuck not the plot-relevant homophobia 💀

the broken hearts gallery (2020) this is an underrated romcom and they like each other the whole time what a concept!

venom: the last dance (2024) made me laugh fr when maroon 5 played idr anything that happened before or after now because that was so startling

iron man (2008) so I hadn’t watched this in like a decade easily. it is more critical of tony’s history as a weapons manufacturer than I remember but honestly the two things that stands out to me are howard stark because I’ve often quietly wondered (not enough to look it up) why the fuck they cast two actors who look nothing alike to play the older and younger versions of him but in this movie suddenly the younger casting makes sense. and number two pepper being sooo aggressive to this woman talking about taking out the trash like!! they were both being weird for no reason??? over a man?? I hate the 00s

the incredible hulk (2008) hey man what the fuck was that

iron man 2 (2010) I love a scammer and mr get me my bird while I build u some lies is so funny for that and oof hammer doing too much with his entrance at the expo to be met with either crickets or polite applause… incredible honestly. probably will never watch this again without doing another full mcu marathon tho tbh

thor (2011) who okayed this hair and makeup for hemsworth I just wanna talk. also why were there so many of those angles—you know the ones—like???? relax pls. a cute lil crew of characters even if it was a little bland for meeee

the avengers (2012) they can never make me hate you. 2012 tower fics terraformed my brain I know this and I cannot change this and I will not apologize. better than I remembered but I wish they’d let steve throw a punch at tony just to see what happens next

iron man 3 (2013) that old man is just like me fr we love a mid-afternoon panic attack

thor: the dark world (2013) hm.

one of them days (2025) first watch. fun and fun and fun I have nothing bad to say I wanted the best for my girls and I got it no fucking notes

a complete unknown (2024) first watch. what I appreciate about this movie is that it’s just a slice of a long career. lowkey it’s a hop, skip, and a jump from being a concert movie let’s be fucking serious but it’s not doing too much and I liked that

interstellar (2014) first watch. I think perhaps the ending was not great to me

guardians of the galaxy (2014) it was fun ig not really bogged down by being tied heavily to the greater universe despite firmly setting up the infinity stone stuff to come so it was alright except they wasted lee pace because ronan was scarier in the way people talked about him than in presence imo

challengers (2024) SEQUEL WHERE THEY’RE EVEN WORSE WHEN!!! PLS I’M ON MY HANDS AND KNEES!!!!!!!!!!

letterboxd ♡ let's be friends!

[troofless]

just watched wicked! it was good and the actors were great, but then i went and relistened to the broadway songs and yeah idina and kristin kinda rock actually. (idina's 'BLONDE' on what is this feeling just hits better, and sometimes cynthia says stuff faster than the original song which gave me unhappy whiplash). (anyway more idina propaganda her work in frozen songs are so good ahhhhh).

insane tho. it was good but the original just sung better. the visual aspect of the movie was pretty good tho, though the lighting and colour choice (the school...) at some parts was kinda dull. the set pieces were great tho. they slapped hard with the backgrounds, and buildings and decorations and stuff. they also did really well on the costumes and colour choices of those, the pink on blonde (and long eyelashes) for ariana was great, and same for green on black for cynthia (dude ALL of elphaba's dresses slapped idk what those wicked npcs were about her goth black dress is a DREAM). the animal cg was kinda mid (bad) tho.

also as someone watching on chinese subs (i can read them but. yeah) the first part of the movie was a lot of mumbling and i couldn't really understand 'no one mourns the wicked' song well which made me feel really annoyed. the people in the opener part sucked with pronunciation except for ariana (and cynthia). but the opening part with the flying dragons and people running on the nicely partitioned and coloured fields was great.

the cut up portion of defying gravity made me sad bc was it really like that in the play? so many pauses in between lyrics to exposition elphaba becoming public enemy number one?

ariana, cynthia and michelle (she's so cool ahhhhh!!!! she played the 'obviously evil mentor manipulating bullied talented child but you hope she's good' child so good. also her accent is different from the rest of the cast haha) are really good. ariana really makes glinda sooooo detestable and act so self-absorbed in a 'good girl' act that she's convinced herself she's 'good' and 'martyr-like'. idk what about it but i love this trope so much (pink-palette green tea bitch, maybe gets character growth later on and becomes the yuri gf...?) but MAN do i hate glinda as a character. she's amazing. ariana's first scene where she has Feelings about elphaba's death really shone through with her acting too. like she clearly has Thoughts about it but everyone around her is like 'BE HAPPY THAT SHE IS DEAD YOU CANNOT SAY OTHERWISE' and she can't say otherwise.

i haven't actually watched the musical so i can't comment on the plot progression (absolutely uninterested in the prince romance plot). but its like. ok so far.

i do think the ending sequence where they chop up defying gravity sucks but oh well. also i feel like elphaba and glinda end up on a higher note than i think the original did, i seriously thought the 'i hope you're happy' throughout the song was sarcastic, but in the movie it felt like more of an amiable parting thing.

also the prince, if he's supposed to be acting out a dumb thoughtless guy didn't really show through at all until like. elphaba points it out when he helps save the cub. idk if its the director or the actor but he just felt kinda flirty and vain, not (wilful) thoughtlessness if that makes sense.

my favourite parts are at the train station when glinda is (you can't see it but she totally was, ariana killed the expressions) upset that the prince is ignoring her in favour for elphaba that she announces she's changing her name to get cheers from the audience and become the centre of attention. that is such classic 'AITA when at my sister's wedding i announce that i'm getting married/having a kid' vibes. like go my evil bitch queen. and the other is at the end of the movie when elphaba rises into the sky and her long ass cloak billows out as a dark silhouette against the lightening sky like oh yeah the director knows what i want. and the opening scene. wish it was more 'first person POV' when they fly with the dragons(?) up and down in the sky and up the waterfall, but whatever.

overall, good movie! would i watch it again? no. would i watch the sequel in theatre as well? maybe.... but it really made me want to watch the musical to compare.

(and the rl scandal of the boq actor leaving his wife? to be with ariana is a really fucking funny reflection of the movie)

also i watched a few good men a while back and it was really REALLY good, favourite actor in that movie goes to jessep/jack nicholson. guy killed it as the evil EVIL man. my only complaint is that the ending was too rushed like surely they could have made the confrontation and back and forth with jessep a little bit longer so the obvious bait that jessep falls into because of his foreshadowed hubris is a bit more satisfying (like he's so cautious but only slips bc of his arrogance) but whatever. good movie. Plus it has no shoehorned romance!

[living-scrap]

I’m honestly so bewildered rn. Like wow. Like. I rarely see ANY blue exorcist fics let alone x male readers. I... could I plz request a Rin x male reader where we just hang out and goof around at his place during a sleepover? The night is peaceful and cold while we run around Rin’s huge almost desolate place throwing pillows at each other while Yukio is very tired of the ruckus we’re making lmao. Maybe you could add in some other characters like Shiemi just to make this a lil more wholesome maybe?? Idk, this isn’t very romantic for a x reader(there’s definitely some cute lovey chemistry in the air tho),and I’m kinda fine with that cuz I just want to hang out and live my life with this guy,like I love him.deadass.

Young,dumb and in love.

Shivering as you clutched your pillow. The walk to the boy’s dorm wasn’t far but it sure felt like it. Raising your hand to knock the door quickly opened revealing a confused yukio. ‘Hey yukio!’ You waved with a small smile,still slightly shivering. ‘YN? What are you doing here so late?!’ He yelled as he ushered you inside into the somewhat warmth.

‘Did rin not tell you? I’m sleeping over!’ You beamed at the boy who only shook his head in disappointment. You turned your head as you saw rin fumbling down the stairs,rushing down to greet you. ‘YN! You made it’ he smiled as he grabbed your shoulders. ‘YN also says he’s,sleeping over?’ Yukio cooed at rin in a sarcastic tone,clearly pissed that he wasn’t told about the sleepover. ‘Yeah,I forgot to tell you.’ Rin shrugged.

He quickly pulled you by your wrist upstairs,with a obviously tired yuki following. Stopping at his and yukio shared room he opened the door,proudly showing it off. ‘Welcome to our humble..Adobe?’ He sounded confused about his word choice but quickly shook it off. ‘So,where will I sleep? Where will shiemi sleep?’ You asked,as you looked around. Rin tilted his head as yukio’s jaw dropped. ‘Shiemi is coming?!’ They yelled at you in unison. Dropping your pillow in surprise you bent over to pick it back up before pointing to the blue haired boy.

‘He told me she was.’ You mumbled. Rin jumped when he realized yukio’s deathly glare. ‘Sh-she can sleep in a separate room?..’ Rin attempted to make things better,but only added fuel to the fire. Yukio huffed,calming himself down. ‘There’s four bunks for a reason. If she wants she can sleep on the top bed of mine.’ Rin and you quickly nodded,agreeing with the younger brother.

‘YN,let’s go to the roof. Right about now it should look really pretty outside!’ He grabbed your wrist,and looked up at you. Your heartbeat felt like it got faster as your face became slightly warm. Dismissing the feeling you nodded. ‘Yeah!’ Rin grinned as he began to drag you out of the room and up the stairs. You could swear,the whole time he practically dragged you upstairs was similar to heaven. How he kept looking back and smiling at you was the best part.

As soon as he opened the door you were both hit with a gust of wind,causing a giggle to slip out of your mouth. Rin felt his face slightly heat up but also,dismissed the feeling. ‘Woah..look at that!’ Rin pointed at the sunset,how the color of the lights matched. The Shadows were shorter now,making everything seem bigger. ‘It’s beautifully’ mumbling as you walked closer to the edge,enjoying the view. It all went away as soon as you were hit by another cold wind,making you shiver.

Rin took notice of your shivering. He was thinking he could do something nice and you appreciate it,or he could do something nice and you’d hate it. He sighed,pushing the bad thoughts to the side. Taking off his jacket he placed it on your shoulders,covering your arms. He could practically feel the tension in the air,he thinks he either fucked up your friendship or possibly caused the start of something new. Looking to the floor as your face flushed. ‘Thank you,Rin.’ He only grinned as he pat your shoulder. ‘Your welcome.’

Both of you jumped,startled by the sound of the door slamming open. ‘Rin,shiemi is here!’ Yukio yelled. ‘K!’ Rin yelled back as he turned. He took your hand this time,instead of your wrist and began to walk to the door back inside. You smiled as you saw shiemi,twisting her foot and waiting. ‘Shiemi!’ You yelled as you ran with open arms,she jumped when she heard you yelling her name but quickly opened her arms when she saw it was you.

She quickly engulfed you in a hug before pulling away and waving at Rin with a smile. Yukio clapped once ‘alright,I’m going to sleep.’ He turned and walked back to his dorm with all three following behind. Rin quickly grabbed your hand once again,hoping nobody would see.

‘Shiemi I love your pants- they look so comfortable where did you get them?’ You asked. They looked fuzzy and very baggy,which was the most comfortable thing you could possibly sleep in. She smiled sweetly before answering: ‘from this little shop not far from here,I think it’s called city market?’ You beamed ‘thank you! Me and Rin have to check it out sometime’ you tugged on rins hand,pulling his attention to you. ‘Right,Rin?’ He only nodded,completely confused on what was going on.

Sitting on the bed thinking for something to do. ‘What are we going to do now?’ You cooed as you laid back. Before you knew it you were hit with a pillow. Quickly jolting up you saw Rin snickering,without second thought you hit him with one back. Suddenly you were being attacked from your side,looking over you saw shiemi giggling as she hit you with her own pillow. Hitting her back she only laughed louder. The sounds of clashing pillows and laughter filled the room but it all game to a sudden stop when yukio groaned.

‘It’s 11pm! Go to sleep!’ Yukio yelled,but was quickly shut up as shiemi hit him with a pillow. She stood with proudly as she grinned. ‘So that’s how it is huh?’ Yukio playfully sneered as he put on his glasses. He quickly grabbed a pillow and hit shiemi back before hitting Rin as well. His eyes landed on you causing a panicked yell to escape your throat as you attempted to run. But you were Quickly hit by his pillow.

Rin easily got revenge for you as he smacked his brother with a pillow. Laughs and giggles continued to fill the room as everyone attacked Yukio. It somehow ended up with you still standing as everyone laid tiredly on the floor or their beds for the night. Beaming pridefully you puffed out your chest: ‘I’m the king of the pillows!’ Everyone bursted into laughter. You only pouted in response.

Everyone was tired,Yukio had fallen asleep on his bed while shiemi was wrapped up in her blanket on hers. but you and Rin hadn’t reached your limit,so you settled on watching a movie on your phone.

Both of you were huddled in a singular cover and eating some popcorn ukobach had made for you both. Leaning your head until in hit rins shoulder,you felt him tense but after a minute he had calmed down,rather enjoying the act. Over time he’d gotten sleepy as decided to lean his head on top of yours. Both of you just huddling in the warmth of the cover and one another.

What a great sleepover.

hi everyone, last installment of me screaming into the void about dres2's subtitles and references before i stop spamming the tag✨

Reunion

I told myself I was not going to dissect the subtitles for the reunion, I hated some translation choices with passion but nothing is so inaccurate i felt compelled to point it out as wrong, it's just this generalized feeling of 'that is correct but it still sounds very odd' so i'm just doing references for this one and moving on since there's so few of them

the subs have it as unintelligible but yara sofía references the monologue of an almodovar character called la agrado from all about my mother in her cameo with the 'two tits bc i'm no monster' and 'you are more authentic when you look closer to what you've always dreamed of being' (it is one of my favorite monologues, and feels quite appropriate for pride month, if you want to watch it it's here and it's like 2 minutes long)

samantha hudson who is a singer and lgbt activist, this is irrelevant but still interesting for me: she became famous because she made a music video and a song called maricon when she was 15 for a subject in middle school and the religious studies teacher of her school became incensed and got the obisp of mallorca to freaking excommunicate her over it (some dumb conservative politician also tried to get the teacher fired... not the religion teacher, the teacher for whose subject the mv was for 🤦🏻‍♀️ for giving her a good grade on it bc apparently she was 'corrupting the youths' or some other nonsense, i don't think the politician succeeded but samantha is definitely still excommunicated bc of those homophobic assholes)

karina is a national treasure and singer from the 60s-80s, pupi played her in snatch game last season (and as you can see, pupi was spot on imitating her)

for the lost looks runway, i don't think they need explaining bc they explained the looks themselves but here's the doll samantha was trying to recreate (and yes putting them on top of TVs was a thing back in the day)

supremme jokes about pajares and estesos having a movie comeback; andrés pajares and fernando estesos are a couple of comedy actors that worked together on 9 movies in the 80s during the cinema destape era, they're a bit of a spanish cinema myth and jokes about their cinematic universe comeback are very numerous in spanish media (they're really good friends but they're not likely to ever work together again... mostly bc they're in their 70s and been work in different genres since '86)

and that's it i don't think anything else needs explaining, i did not love the segment of jota 'lying', nor the whole miss muerta de hambre thing, and i was talking about this privately last week but rewatching the reunion for the purpose of making this last post i realized that what i couldn't put my fingers on about juriji is that as much as i'm sure she's probably very nice irl, i just don't care much for her purposefully playing dumb (something something being 30 and purposefully talking like a 12yo in a cutesy voice while taking off her clothes got old for me very fast... still insanely talent tho, probably what i have is fatigue bc i've been ready for this season to end like 3 weeks ago when my migraine was being a bitch)

i did love we got to see some of the missed runways (specially sethlas and ariel's bc i spent half of the season being sad we didn't get to see ariel on the runway and i did love the heroines runway theme) and congratulations to samantha for winning miss congeniality 💖

Finale:

estrella and her wigs and the super glue omg💀

today in me unlocking levels of mental illness previously not known to humankind, i am almost certain this episode had the same translator as episodes 3 (it's just the vibe of the translation... and the amount of typos)

when they make the reference to dorothy, sharonne calls the ballet flats she did for petro chopines, which is a kind of shoe that was popular from the 15th to the 17th century (last week she also used a very particular word for espadrilles, not particularly relevant but still a bit odd, maybe it's just catalan of certain age idk)

i'm actually amused by this really being supremme's best friend drag race, specially since they're making a video clip for her song, since llévame al cielo came out last year around this time of the year, does it mean her new song that just came out is going to be the next victim of this if they are renewed for a third season?

when she's talking with supremme, venedita talks about la pequeña and la mercurio as inspirations for the beard, those are the artist names of alejandro sanchez (peque) and alex mercurio

sharonne mentions her dad working at sabadell and la caixa which are the names of two banks (idk how well known they are outside of spain so we're mentioning it)

venedita, as usual, is my eternal mood, specially when she talks about going unconscious for a week as soon as this is over... si je ne comprends pas quelque chose en français quand drag race france commence, cela restera incompris💀 je n'activerai plus jamais les sous-titres de wow+ si je peux l'eviter, je jure devant dieu

there's a typo in the subs when marina is in confessionals when they're writing lyrics, they say 'me siento muy malú' (i feel very malú) and the subs say 'me siento muy malo' (i feel very bad), malú is the name of a singer, they're talking about how they're feeling creative and how much they enjoy writing not about feeling poorly

the joke about changing llévame al cielo (take me to heaven) to llévame al huerto (take me to the garden) that marina and sharonne make is that to 'take someone to the garden/vegetable patch' is an andalusian expression that means you've convinced someone to sleep with you (it's from la celestina, if you're into 15th century literature, but it's still very much in use nowadays)

i lived for that reunion with the rest of the cast as background dancers, i laughed so much at samantha and estrella going 'baldie!' 'fatty!' as greetings, spanish speakers can and will take anything you are insecure about and both use it to bully you and turn it into an endearment and i both love and hate that for us lmao

how pretty supremme looks in red. oh my god.

calvo says some lyrics of djobi djoba by gypsy kings (cada día yo te quiero más 💞 it still slaps okay)

before the mv starts supremme says that the cat crowned under the rain (gee i wonder who could that be) will crown the bitch with the best pedigree (the subs here say something different i don't remember what but that's what she said literally)

more on sandra and mentally ill behavior, as a testament of how far my farala fangirl era has gone, i immediately shut down a friend who mentioned how she thought carmen must have filmed her segment for the mv last season, but no, if you look in the background you can see the mannequin with the dress venedita used for the last mini challenge and if you look at her face you can tell her mug is different bc her lips are fuller now

favorite look in the music video was marina (... and then they came out to the runway dressed like a goth bathroom doily 💀 why do they look like a doily jfc)

favorite look in the runway was venedita (but i did think she looked like a mix of a raven with a troll doll in the mv)

for some reason someone decided to translate folder as carpet in the subtitles when the judges are talking to venedita for the last time (ah linguistic false friends, we meet again, carpeta means folder and carpet would be alfombra), also in the subs they say she's like a sexy teacher from an Italian cop movie when they actually say a sexy teacher in an Italian destape movie, knowing what cinema destape was in spanish film history i think the closest historic analogue for italian cinema would be commedia scollacciata? (my italian film history knowledge is a bit spotty but that feels closer than cop movie... unless you mean cop as in to cop a feeling ofc)

when the judges are deliberating, supremme calls the other judges her familia putativa, which sounds funny bc it sounds like puta duh but it means chosen family

i'm sad they didn't let this cast walk the runway like they did for dres1 for the finale, that being said oh my god? onyx!? sethlas!? there isn't a single runway these two have missed that i haven't mourned, and this is why

i think it was a bit rude the way they told marina they were not going to lipsync, they had no chance statistically speaking of winning (... nobody except sharonne had it since episode 4 onwards if i'm honest) but still, now i'll have to wonder what was under the goth doily look for the rest of my life, them being eliminated before wouldn't have even affected the number of episodes for production either... i can't say i'm complaining about having more of them on the show but it still felt like a shitty thing to do to someone idk

i am obsessed obsessed with the final lipsync song, this entire season was full of attempts at reveals during lipsyncing (many of which i didn't care for) but this song does suit them and most were actually nicely done plus it's an alaska song, as far as gay and self improvement anthems go, this is one of the best the spanish language has to offer, it's from the 80s and it still goes so hard

et voila, c'est fini, the lot of you that have tolerated me going insane about DRES, ilu and i hope my wikipedia mode has been entertaining for some of you 💖

Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01 - Disc-3

I've officially purchased all 9 volumes on Bookwalker (in Japanese). The scanlations are great, but they don't have the omake/bonus content consistently. Grateful I don't need to read all of it in Japanese though.

Ch. 18

-So is not!Killua's hair pink or just white and the cover has funky lighting? I kinda hope it's pink because that would be fun.

-The whole "Zeromaru doesn't want to evolve but he's perfectly healthy" thing sounded VERY familiar...

(Tho to be fair they implied he'll evolve eventually).

-Taichi's daydreaming about Zero evolving into Nanimon or "Majide-Nanimon" were really funny. I guess we're going by game logic where the evolutions are permanent? That's the vibe I'm getting anyways.

-It was nice to get a callback to those Agumon from the beginning. Love me some good continuity!

Ch. 19

-In this chapter we see digimon that are implied to be dead. This felt kinda weird to me because most digimon that "die" in the anime immediately vanish. It's weird to see bodies laying around.

-We get a backstory for Taichi's goggles which was about as necessary as the origins of Han Solo's name in that Solo movie. I guess they represent friendship and bravery because they come from his grandpa's dead pilot friend. Sure.

Ch. 20

-Neo has a peace sign on his t-shirt. How...menacing? (Maybe that's a hint at a future redemption arc or maybe the artists just doesn't know what the symbol means lol).

-Apparently going in and out of a jogress digivolution can restore HP? That seems kind of illogical to me since digivolutions have always been depicted as a tiring process...

Ch. 21

-A triple jogress!? Wild. Makes me wonder if there are any real limits to mashing digimon together...

-It's becoming increasingly awkward that Veedramon is only a champion at this point. I know that power levels aren't as simple as higher level = winner, but it does seem to go that way a majority of the time anyway. Wonder how they'll get around this...

Ch. 22

-Zero digivolution has arrived!! The Veedramon-> AeroVeedramon transition felt very reminiscent of Greymon->MetalGreymon. Very subtle changes. I appreciated the cool two-page spread. Wonder how long this version of Zero will stick around?

-This chapter was called "Butterfly" -wink wink nudge nudge-

Ch. 23

-I liked how Taichi wore his googles over his eyes while riding AeroVeedramon. Did Taichi ever wear his goggles properly in Adventure? Not that I can recall...I don't mind them being used as just a fashion statement, but we love a functional piece.

-And just like that, Neo is defeated and the 5 tags have been collected. I guess we can call arc #1 a wrap? If all arcs go at a 3 volume pace, we'll have 3 arcs total.

Ch. 24

-A random (probably not-so-random) girl appears! She's named Rei which is another word for "Zero." Makes me think...is Neo supposed to be an anagram for "one"?

-So far Rei has just been a damsel in distress, but she just got here so I'll hold my judgment on her characterization

-Neo somehow got a crack (?) in his face? I guess it's supposed to be a battle scar but it literally looks like cracked porcelain or something. Weird...

-Oh great, more edge-lord human characters. Just what we need. My initial impression is that they look kinda dumb, but like Rei, I'll give them a chance.

Omake - Episode Une

-Why did they write "one" in French but the furigana is in English? That's a choice...

-So this was just a potty humor omake where they address the need for tamers to take care of their digimon's bathroom needs. Since I'm not an 8 year old, I kinda just rolled my eyes at it.

-Rather than having Sukamon just throw poop they made him capable of controlling your bowels which is much more menacing if you ask me...biological warfare

-I thought it was pretty funny that the mangaka wrote a mini-essay after the gag chapter self-consciously asking for reader feedback and giving the origins of the chapter. His justifications for wanting to include a poop-related chapter since that was a big part of having a virtual pet made me respect the chapter more lol

Bonus Content

-Honestly, I think I kinda like dog-Zeromaru better. Digimon Adventure 1 & 2 already have dragon-like partners for their main characters, so it would have been nice to get some variety. Oh well.

-It was interesting to read about the transition between manga Taichi and anime Taichi. Supposedly the anime artist made some adjustments to make him easier to animate, but looking at them side-by-side the difference is extremely subtle.

i said i wasnt gonna rant about how fucking bad Eternals was but ive decided that i can bitch about this particularly bad mcu movie as a treat. this is long, but the movie is the better part of three hours so

okay so first of all, it starts off like, dumb. it starts off with a fucking opening crawl like its star wars with an explanation of how the eternals exist to fight for intelligent life blah blah blah but as someone over the age of 8 its immediately really apparent that this is gonna be bullshit and theyll have been unknowingly evil the whole time. like its set up so weakly and impotently that like at best it reads as an early draft.

in our first scene of the eternals fighting the deviants (this movie's cgi monsters, which i will say are at least more visually engaging than a lot of comparable ones. whoever animated them really wished they got to work on Annihilation and it shows in a good way) i immediately clocked that 'hey chiseled jaw white dude who can fly and shoot eye lasers looks pretty fucking sinister huh. oh god please dont' (spoilers, they very much do).

then it really starts with us seeing protag in the modern day. nothing about this section is interesting. i think we're supposed to find her and kit harrington cute as a couple, and i dont object to them, but hes never significant in this and spoilers for one of the aftercredits scenes literally only features so prominently because hes setup to be in Blade. there are much larger issues with this shitshow but thats a peak mcu problem right there

so then we get to the first fight scene in the modern day and i am immediately confused because for some completely unfathomable reason the black point is set absurdly wrong so fight scenes, at night, poorly lit, with a mostly black cgi monster, are completely illegible. this will continue to be the case throughout every scene not in daylight and it will never get better or make any more sense.

now predictably, we soon find out that oh no, the eternals have been working in service of the baddies the whole time, who want to cultivate intelligent life to hatch their kids. said bad guys, the celestials, are also like, gods effectively, in that they create and maintain the universe. we have no info on this outside of what one of them tells our protag tho so like weird dynamic. but anyways. for some reason half the eternals are like 'well yeah alright lets let it happen' and keep going back and forth on that which if this movie were written by someone who even pretended to give a shit could be an interesting concept.

moving on we continue to get the band back together and run into druig. now in a flashback we see that he led to them scattering across the planet when he went 'hey maybe we should stop genocide sometimes' and this started a big fight. so naturally, youre thinking ah yes this must be a more likeable member of the team. and thats a reasonable assumption! an understandable thing to think, really. except his powers are literally mass mind control of humans and while in earlier flashbacks he just uses these to like, stop fights and get ppl to chill out, when we see him in the modern day hes like, possessing an entire village in south america for his own little paradise? which is an absolutely deranged choice to make for a character we i think are at least not supposed to despise. like holy shit guys, you sure did that and have decided hes not the villain for it.

at some point we flash back to their original leader ajak deciding to actually stop the celestial from being born and killing earth, not because she thinks genocide in general is wrong- she is the one whose known the whole time this is what theyre doing- but because well it was earth ppl who beat thanos so i guess they should get a pass. like she is explicitly 'well these ones are good tho. no regrets on the other planets we've done this to that only i remember tho.' at this point she is killed by icarus, the chiseled jaw flying wite dude with superstrength and eye lasers. yup! its a But What If Superman Bad story now! we even have a scene where a child explicitly calls him fucking superman!!the hack writing here knows no fucking bounds.

did i mention sprite? the one who despite the fact theyre immortal (robots, we find out sometime in all this) is a 13 ish year old girl visually? when icarus decides to betray everyone and try to make sure they cant stop the celestial birth she joins him because she apperntly has always been in unrequited love with him. now this goes nowhere and serves no purpose other than to make me deeply fucking uncomfortable, but at least sprite is a user of illusion magic who literally stabs our protag in the back during the final fight. its discount loki!

oh also hephastus's whole deal is hes like, an artificer and has pushed human tech along and theres a fucking scene that blows my goddamn mind. where we see ajak comforting him as he weeps in the fresh destruction of hiroshima. where hes like 'oh god i did this humanity is awful and not worth saving blah blah blah' and its like. okay. this character, i cannot stress enough, is black. presumably, if he was instrumental in the atom bomb, was living in america. as a black guy. in the 1940s. and hes only just now starting to doubt humanity is all great and good? tell me the writers room wasnt as diverse as the cast without telling me the writers room wasnt as diverse as the cast. like in a good movie exploring these immortals who have lived alongside humanity for all of history debating whether humanity deserves to live, youd think the black one might have an interesting perspective or something to say about race. this aint that movie tho.

the climactic fight scene ends with such an impotent fart of a climax that i genuinely feel like i missed something. throughout the whole thing theres mentions of how sersi and icarus were in love for thousands of years, icarus only leaving her when he found out the truth of their mission and couldnt bear to be around her and not tell her. and in their final fight, he looks into her eyes, we see a flashback to an earlier scene of them getting married in like 200 ad or w/e, and he silently decides to fly into the sun killing himself (presumably).

this movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes.

i expect bad mcu movies. i expect dull, i expect propagandic, i expect humorless quips and half baked characters. i dont expect something so unpleasant and offensive to anyone who wants to actually think about anything happening on screen that it feels designed to be frustrating. the worst mcu movie previously in my opinion was thor 2, but its biggest sin was being painfully dull. this is worse. its painfully engrossing. i often enjoy watching movies i think are bad or whose ideas i disagree with, but this refused to even have ideas, really- it constantly threatened to but they never really showed up, at least not without being immediately contradicted. genuinely this is worse than Suicide Squad (2016). i would rather rewatch the snyder cut.

one of the worst things about it is how clearly it was calculated in some boardroom, that if we had a diverse cast we didnt need a good movie. like sure, we have plently of racial diversity, we have a mute character (genuinely unclear based on a particular scene whether shes deaf or not but she speaks via sign), we have a gay man raising a kid with his husband, etc. guess we dont need anything else. guess thats definitely the only thing that matters. and i know some incredibly stupid people will agree with that. you google it and get articles about how its doing so much good for representation and like. im reminded of when tumblr was like 'you gotta watch black lightning there are black lesbians' and nobody bothered to mention that the show fucking sucked (to be fair i think it was a cw show so thats on me for not assuming but).

anyways harry styles has a cameo in one of the post credits scenes. its charmless. 1/10 movie, both in general and for the mcu.

Okay, how about Wednesday for 001, Trobed for 002, and TJ Kippen for 003?

literally great choices thank you

001: Wednesday

favorite character: wednesday addams herself. she is so 🫶

least favorite character: the sherif or weems i think

5 favorite ships: wenclair, the background lesbians i don’t know the name of, that’s it don’t care ab the other ones 💀

character i find the most attractive: jenna ortega loml

character i would marry: in my heart i wanna say wednesday but also i think enid is very sweet and would make a lovely wife

character i would be best friends with: i feel like me and enid could get along very well. also i kinda rock w bianca

a random thought: i wish tyler and xavier had more personality they didn’t give what i wanted to be given

an unpopular opinion: the plot was predictable and the love triangle was lame, wednesday did not show any interest in either of those boys (not unpopular with the gays but some of these people on tiktok geez)

my canon otp: literally no one

my mom-canon otp: wenclair

most badass character: the show is literally named after her

most epic villain: the hyde but specifically when he’s transforming and his eyes are just comically big and he looks stupid

pairing i am not a fan of: xavier x wednesday and tyler x wednesday

character i feel the writers screwed up: all of them

favorite friendship: wednesday and eugene

character i most identify with: wednesday i guess not really tho

character i wish i could be: also wednesday

002: Trobed

when i started shipping them: early 2921 when i started community

my thoughts: they were so queercoded and from a story telling perspective a lot the plot lines can really only make sense if they were romantically inclined but dan harmon was a coward and they liked benefiting from trobed shippers without wanting to make them canon. but they are in my heart.

what makes me happy about them: they are so utterly in love but like they care so deeply for each other. they made each other feel safe and seen in a way they never expected or thought possible

what makes me sad about them: the mutual pining with no closure and how they both found their person and specifically with abed, troy chose to leave him. and abed was hurt but more importantly mad at himself for being hurt because he should’ve seen it coming because that’s what people do, come into his life and make him care about them and then leave.

things done in fanfics that annoy me: i haven’t really seen anything, i guess i’m mostly bothered when the voices of the characters are wrong or when they’re written out of character?

things i look for in fanfics: angst 🫶 but also shenanigans and closure

my wishlist: idek i just want them to be canon community movie don’t let me down 😭

who i’d be comfortable with them ending up with if not each other: i really can’t picture them with anyone else except maybe troy and britta and that would make me upset so

my happily ever after for them: abed is a successful director and troy is a billionaire but he finds odd jobs both for plumbing and ax repairs just cause it’s fun and easy and he doesn’t charge much bc he doesn’t need the money. they live this nice ass house bc they’re nerds and would love something big and dumb and fancy (but at the end of the day all that letters is they’re together). troy is a dog person and abed is a cat person and they fight ab which one they should get until they both come home with their desired pets and simply accept this life. i don’t know if i see them having kids but i’m not specifically against it

003: TJ Kippen

how i feel about this character: love and joy

any/all people i ship romantically with this character: cyrus goodman

my favorite non-romantic relationship: buffy for sure

my unpopular opinion about this character: his redemption arc could’ve used a little more arc, i feel like there was a jump somewhere that i would’ve liked to see happen

one thing i wish had happened in canon with this character: i wish we got to see more dynamics with other characters. i would’ve loved to see him with jonah more or andi or i think bex/bowie even cece could’ve been so so interesting. also i think the kippen siblings is so fun and i would’ve love to see that. also the dumbass trio. i crave that chaos.

favorite friendship for this character: canon, cyrus. non canon, the dumbass trio.

my crossover ship: none

simple, but complicated ; sunwoo

genre: sad, fluff, gn!reader

word count: 2.7k

warnings/themes: a lot of flashbacks (written in italics), best friends to lovers, reader gets cheated on, some swearing here and there (very light tho).

Lost. Lonely. You wouldn’t be able to find words enough to describe the overwhelming pain you were feeling. The hot cup of coffee wasn’t enough to warm up your hands, or your heart, like it used to some months ago. The snow was slowly falling down, and you watched it carefully through your window, wondering how many bad choices you made all along the way to feel so empty and sad.

Deep inside, you knew that a break up was painful, but the pain of losing a friend was even worse, and you were terrified of realizing it so late, when he wasn’t even close to you anymore.

— I honestly don’t know who you are anymore — he said, the pain in his eyes killing you inside.

— Sunwoo, I just said that we can’t go out as often as before — you reply, tears about to leave your eyes.

— We haven’t seen each other for weeks, y/n, you ignore my messages for days! It’s not about not seeing each other every day, it’s about you cutting me off of your life all of a sudden.

— I’ve just been busy, I have a boyfriend now, and I don’t think it’s right to go out with another boy and leave him all by himself.

Sunwoo never thought that words could hurt that bad, but the realization that he wasn’t that important to you anymore, when you were still the only one he could look at, broke his heart in countless pieces.

— I knew this would happen, I knew he wasn’t good for you, but you never listen! — he says. — It looks like you are already blind.

You sigh: — You’re just jealous at this point, Sunu. I promised I would forget what you said but…

— No, don’t throw this shit at me, I am not doing this just because I like you in a romantic way, I am doing this because you are my best friend, but it looks like you forgot it.

The tears rolled down your cheeks and burned your eyes like never before. When you first started dating, you thought he was the one, he took you to a lot of different places, fancy restaurants, so many adventures full of cool stories to tell, just like you imagined while reading the books that were in your tall and enormous bookshelf. The concept of love for you was adventurous and full of romance. Looking back then, you couldn’t even find a tiny bit of love between the trips and fancy restaurants, you could say there was a tiny bit of passion, but passion is something that lasts short, not love.

You knew love was complicated, to understand, to express, but, at this point, everything in your past just seemed so simple, and you felt so dumb. Looking at your front door, your beige coat was so inviting, he seemed to ask you to do something, so you did.

The sky was already becoming dark, but there was still a glimpse of pink and orange all over it, and the snow flakes falling in front of your eyes made everything even more beautiful. At this point, you weren’t really sure where you were going, the air was cold, and you had no idea where you could find him, and if he was even willing to talk to you. The reality hit you hard at that point, he would never, ever, look at you with the same eyes, his brown eyes wouldn’t turn your way the same way they did before, the same way you never paid enough attention.

When your feet were about to turn back to your house, you saw it: the small record store, the one Sunwoo always went to when something was bothering him. The one where he would sit on the same armchair, use the same headphones, and listen to the same record over and over again. With a glimpse of hope, your feet took you to the small store, your hands placed on the front glass, your eyes analyzed inside, on the left, there he was, sitting on the blue armchair: eyes closed, head tilting a little to the side, feet swaying, his backpack on the floor. With the tiny bit of courage you had left, you opened the door, and walked to him.

When his eyes met yours, you froze, but managed to say: — It’s been a long time.. Sunwoo.

After a walk down the street, you and Sunwoo were sitting in front of each other in a cozy and empty coffee shop, it seemed like a good place to talk to him. You kept playing with your fingers, nervous about the distance and awkward atmosphere between you and your long time best friend.

— Is there a reason why you talked to me? — he asked suddenly, making you rapidly look at him.

— I just… wanted to see you — you say.

It wasn’t the full truth, but it wasn’t a lie either. You just had no idea how you were supposed to tell him he was right, that you were blind and being fooled.

— Did your boyfriend allow you to come? — he paused before letting the word boyfriend slip through his lips.

You laugh, without energy: — I don’t have a boyfriend anymore.

— Ah, so that’s why you decided to look out for me — he says, his eyes anywhere but your face.

It wasn’t his intention to be harsh, deep inside, he wanted to hug your tired body, and take that sad and destroyed expression out of your face. He knew you way too well to know something was wrong, that you were sad and regretful, but sometimes pride takes the best of us.

— I have been thinking about some things since the last time we talked to each other — you say, ignoring his words. — You were right.

— About what?

— About being blind, about him, about everything — you say. — He cheated on me, not only once.

He never wanted to hold your hand so bad. The feelings Sunwoo had for you were still there, but he wanted to hold your hand and hug you, firstly, as a friend, as the friend he was before letting you go, before letting you drown in a bad relationship.

— I’m so sorry for that, y/n — he says, sighing, — he never deserved you.

— Don’t worry, you are the one who always told me he wasn’t good enough.

He gets up to get something to drink, you expected him to come back with his usual, but, instead, he holds a hot chocolate, your favorite, with lots of whipped cream. You smile when he places it in front of you.

— It’s the first smile you show off today — he notices, smiling a bit too.

You drink your hot chocolate, your eyes closing a bit because of the smile you showed once more, the warm and sweet filling you inside.

— Sunwoo — you say, the courage coming from the hot chocolate in front of you, — I’ve been thinking a lot about something these days.

— What is it? — he asks, genuinely curious, making you feel like you were back in time, when you were both as close as ever, best friends, soulmates.

— Do you remember when we had that talk about what love is?

He nods: — Yes, I do, and you said it is adventurous and magic.

— Yeah, I kind of remember that — you laugh. — It’s not really true, honestly. I don’t think that’s love anymore.

— Then, what is love?

— Honestly, when I started dating, even if bad things happened, in my head I was having the romance I always read about in the books, the same romance I always told you I wanted to have, the one I wrote about in some of my stories, full of adventures, cliches and serenades — you say. — Now, after living it, I know love is more, or less, than this.

He looks at you with attention, wondering what you meant with all these words. He wonders if you lost hope in love, if you will start to believe it is not real because of the bad experience you had.

— I just feel like love is simple, but complicated at the same time, do you know what I mean?

— I don’t have lots of experiences with love, but I think, yes? — he tilts his head.

— Me neither — you reply, knowing there wasn’t love in your last relationship.

The silence between you both made you almost give up, but you keep thinking about how to choose the right words to tell how you were feeling deep inside, since the first day.

— I think… — he says, after some silence — love is more than just the romantical part, it’s about trusting and taking care of the one you love, and having patience, waiting.

— You’re right — you say. — Honestly… Never mind, you don’t need to hear all of this.

The courage you had, disappeared like the warmth on the mug on your hands, without you even noticing.

— I always like to hear what you want to say, you know that.

You look at him, even though you can see a bit of pain in his eyes, he smiles softly, encouraging you. The feeling of being heard truly after so long made your heart flutter, so you hold that opportunity. When you think about everything, you know that, at this point, you have nothing to lose.

— Love can be about stolen glances…

You hold the book in front of your face, your back is comfortably on top of your mattress, and you can hear and feel Sunwoo moving a lot on your side. He’s probably bored, you’ve been reading for the last two hours and he probably wants to watch a movie like every afternoon he spends with you.

When he suddenly stops, you take your eyes off of your book, just to lock them with his eyes, that watched you fondly. As soon as he notices he got caught staring, he looks away, a blush on his cheeks, making you laugh.

— … and holding hands during horror movies…

The black screen of the television suddenly made a loud noise, making the boy on your side scream his lungs out.

— This is bullshit! — he screams. — She’s so stupid why is she even inside this house!

The scared look on his face was already funny enough, but then he hid his face on your shoulder, making you laugh even more. He looked at you with an annoyed pout on his face, what made you force your laugh to stop.

— I’m sorry Sunu, here — you reach your hand out to him — you can hold my hand.

He stops for a second, and, if it wasn’t dark, you would be able to see the red on his cheeks, but then he happily grabs your hand with both of his, and holds it on his lap, close to his belly, and cuddles close to you. For some reason, he wasn’t that scared at all after that.

— … or even playing the guitar on a monday morning, skipping class.

His eyes light up a bit, and you know he was starting to understand the in-between the phrases you were saying.

You cross your arms, an annoyed look on your face: — I am not skipping class, Sunwoo.

The boy in front of you pouts, one of his hands holding the guitar on his back. You sigh, knowing you’ll never be able to say no to your best friend. Some time later, you’re both by the Han River, sitting on the grass, the sun warming up your body.

— Aren’t you going to play? — you point to his guitar. — I’m here for the songs.

He laughs, then grabs his guitar and, after thinking for a bit, he starts playing, you soon notice is Best Part.

— Can you sing?

He smiles: — If you think I am good at singing, yes.

You smile, knowing he has one of the sweetest voices in the world.

— What do you mean? — Sunwoo asks, not sure if he is understanding well.

— Love is about going to convenience stores at three in the morning, just because your loved one craves ice cream — you say, answering him, but ignoring him at the same time.

Sunwoo sighs, looking at the television screen with annoyance. You try to ignore him for a while, thinking he probably just wants your attention, because you didn’t want to stop the tv show you were watching.

— Y/n… — he whines.

— Sunwoo — you pout at him, pausing the television. — I hope you have a good reason to make me stop Sky Castle in the middle!

— I want ice cream — he says, smiling at you.

— And I want to date Hwang Woojoo — you reply, turning on the tv show again.

He shakes your arm, whining like a kid: — Please… Let’s buy some ice cream, I promise I’ll watch two more episodes with you.

You look at him, and think for a bit. Even though you don’t think you can watch two more episodes without falling asleep, you nod and get up. You both put on warm clothes and leave your apartment, and Sunwoo puts his arm around you as soon as you step foot outside.

— What are you doing?

— Protecting you.

Sunwoo’s eyes can't leave your face, his heart is about to leave his chest. Honestly, the first time you told him you were dating, he was scared, and when you two talked for the last time, he knew he had lost forever, but now, there you were, confessing to him, in the most you way. Even after him letting his jealousy break your friendship, even though he left you to deal with everything by yourself, there you were, telling him your honest feelings.

— So… You’re telling me… — he starts.

— I like you, Sunwoo — you say. — If you want me to clearly say, I can repeat this how many times you want: I like you, I like you, I like you.

He laughs, and a smile stays on his face, the prettiest you ever saw. When he gets up, you widen your eyes, worried he is going to kiss you there, in front of the people working at the coffee shop. But he just gently grabs you by your hand and hugs you tight, holding you as close as possible, his face on your neck, then he looks at you and smiles, still holding you tight.

— Don’t worry, I’m not going to kiss you in front of everyone — he whispers.

You blush, and hide your face on his neck, wondering how he knows you so well, to even know what you were thinking. When you look at him, you kind of want to peck his lips, but instead, you give him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

— I know I said this before — he starts, — but I’m in love with you, and I feel I should say this again, now that I know I won’t be rejected.

— I don’t remember doing this — you joke.

He laughs, and looks at you fondly. Then, something seems to lighten up on his mind, so he smiles at you: — But there’s something I remember.

— What?

— That you said you wanted to watch that new horror movie with me.

You look at him, confused: — I thought you were scared of horror movies.

— And I am — he says. — But you said love is about holding hands during horror movies, and I’ll do anything if I get to hold your hand.

In the middle of a coffee shop, you finally had the opportunity to feel what real love felt like. There, in Sunwoo’s embrace, you allowed yourself to forget about all the stupid books you’ve read, all those love stories, just so you could finally understand what real love is about: confessing in empty coffee shops, after a heartbreak and a cup of hot chocolate.

hi! so.... this is kind of a comeback? i guess JNSNXNS i’m honestly very proud of how it turned out, not sure if this is exactly how i wanted to show this idea to the world but !! that’s what i came up with and i hope you like it :]

also, i’ve changed my writing style a bit. here i am using the em dash ? ( — ) for the dialogues because that’s what i use in portuguese now, but i have no idea if this is right, so if this is wrong or you prefer that i use quotation marks, please !!!!! let me know.

you can check my masterlist here!

[kiegosbby]

hello!! can i request a oneshot similar to your hawks one? basically shoto and the reader are childhood bestfriends but he started to fall for them even before UA,, but he thinks they dont like them back. maybe some angsty jealous!todoroki with bakugo?? a happy ending tho pls 🥰 tysm!!

got you bby! I’m sorry that this took me a while I kept getting distracted:(

✁- - - - - - r- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

you were and todoroki were staring at each other, tears fell from your face and you waited for his response, hoping you made the right choice..

you and shoto had been friends ever since you were little. you parents were close, and you and him both had very powerful quirks so you often trained together, battling against each other.

the times you weren’t training you were with him, at his side like a lost puppy. when his mom had hurt him and he was sent to the hospital, you were there for every second. you were always by his side and people thought you two were siblings, which you kindly corrected them

you were the bright part to him, alway talking and having fun stuff to do. you were his better part and in some ways he was yours. his other half and you couldn’t imagine a life without him.

when you both got into ua, you didn’t need to go into the entrance exam. you both got recommendations and got into class 1-A

he had become more distant when you both started school, which was a suprise to say the least. when you were little you followed him, but now he was the lost puppy that followed you around.

so when he started hanging out with different people it really hurt you.. so you distracted yourself with others. you had become fairly close with bakugo, having taking a likening of his personality. yeah you could fix that.

and now bakugo followed you around, bothering you wherever you went. but the truth was you missed todoroki and you were sad that he stopped having a interest in you. before he stopped talking to you, you realized that you had feelings for him. and not friend feelings, you had actual feelings for him, like love him feelings.

but you love and you lose, it was just difficult to get over his stares at you, you would often get paired with him, because your quirks and powers were the same level. it was always difficult when that happened- it was just so awkward between you two.

so now you were sitting at lunch with bakugo and his squad, eating a bowl of rice while listening to bakugo rip minas head off.

“what do you mean you dumb alien!” he was mad obviously, and you put your bowl down knowing what you would have to do.

“your the ones who’s dumb! You have anger issues” Mina got up from the table and walked off to dekus group, and you saw todoroki staring at you from the table she was headed to. did he really hate you that much?

you averted your gaze, going back to bakugo who was seething in his anger and you sat up grabbing your back

“come on bakugo let’s go to the roof, there not worth it”

he grunted in agreement and walked close to you, if anyone who didn’t know you saw it they would think he was your boyfriend, but you two were just close. I mean you did know how to take the beast

while you walked away, todoroki was watching you both leave, his clod eyes never leaving your back.

“hey todoroki you ok?” deku was worried about his friend, but didn’t want to push it knowing his limits

he grumbled a quick “fine” before getting up and leaving, grabbing his bag and walking the halls.

he was dumb, well he was more then dumb he was fucking stupid to let you go like that. now he would have to compete with fucking boom boy. this wasn’t fair. he had tried to distract himself to get his mind off of you, because you basically lived in his mind.

he shouldn’t have thought about you like he did, he wanted you, wanted to be the person who protected you, who cuddle up to you at night, the person who you calmed down and who would ease his anger. He wanted to love you. but then this happens, you just had to go and be friends with bakugo. of course him of all people, you alway had a soft spot for troubled people.

he ran his hand through his hair as he walked, ending up out side and sat underneath a tree.

he had fucked up majorly and he needed you back. It was so difficult for him without you. You were his rock, his everything. You helped distract him from his family and from everything. He won’t stop until he has you.

he turned his head slightly towards the building and saw you two sitting at the edge, feet dangling and his arm was around you, and you laid your head on his shoulder. he was to late. he let it go for to long.

he stood and walked to the school, evening classes were about to start and he couldn’t miss them. he was such a fool you were perfect for him.

you walked into the your last class, after calming bakugo down. sometimes he just needed a little affection to remind him that he’s not alone. as you walked in you saw todoroki sitting at his desk with his head down, that’s weird. he never did that he always seemed so.. calm.

you were worried for him, we’re about to approach him when bakugo called your name, calling you to sit next to him. you walked over to him with a small frown and sat down getting ready for class

through the whole class todoroki was looking out the window not paying any attention, you were more than worried now you’d talk to him about it later in the dorms.

After class, you and bakugo walked home together and you had light conversation liek normal, he had asked you to watch a movie together but you declined, and he gave you a “Whatever I don’t need a extra like you anyways” and left you in the common area of the dorms

you walked to shotos dorm, knocking softly and waiting nervously.

when he opened the door and he looked like a mess, like he had been crying? he never cried it’s odd..

“can we talk? please?” you even sounded nervous, god get it together

“sure come in” he opened his door to you and you walked in halfway and turned around.

“I want you to tell me what’s wrong and then I want you to tell me why your avoiding me” You were using your angry voice, you meant business.

“I love you”

your heart stuttered, and you almost fell on your ass. he said it so calmly and with no second thought? how could he

“w-what?” your voice was quiet now, and you were scared?

“I love you y/n. I’ve loved you since we were kids. and I’ve been avoiding you so I could lose those feelings but they never left. I know youreith katsuki now and I-“

wait

wait?

“I’m not with katsuki. we’re just friends.” your head hung low. how could you not have known? it was more than obvious.

“your not together?” his voice sounded desperate and you rose your head and looked into his eyes

“shoto, I love you. and I’ve loved you for a while now. I really hope we’re ok because I want to be more then friends. I want to be together.” tears fell down your face, and you looked at him with hope.

so this takes us back to the beginning of our story.

you were and todoroki were staring at each other, tears fell from your face and you waited for his response, hoping you made the right choice.

he walked up to you quickly and wrapped his arms around you, his quirk warming you and you cried in his embrace, thanking yourself for making the right decision.

[unordinary-but-extraordinary]

Okay okay hear me out!! Teen beach movie AU

Marinette’s dad had passed away when she was young and after a few years her mother followed. she was left in her grandmothers custody. Since she travel a lot she had settle down in a beach where she taugh Marinette about surfing and bikes.

Her Nona loved the movie “wet side story” a classic. Whenever she came to visit from traveling they would watch it even tho Marinette didn’t really get it.

She met Damian one summer and soon she became a family member of the Wayne’s. Chloes mom had made a deal with Marinette after her mother passed away about her going to the states and working under her as a designer.

Damian didn’t know about this. So when he saw style queen in front of him saying Marinette was leaving he didn’t know how to react. Marinette a little flustered Asking why she was there a day early much to her grandmother protest.

“Marinetta you can’t! This isn’t something you want! You want to be your own designer a name for yourself! Not a shadow!” Gina yelled but Marinette only sighed.

Audrey rolled her eyes telling Gina that this was the deal and that she had to listen.

“What does she mean by leaving?” Damian says clearly confused and frustrated that he doesn’t know what’s going on.

Marinette was going to respond but Audrey starts saying how unprofessional and dumb it is to surf and how Marinette has more opportunities and has the talent to do greater things. So she’s taking her to the states for her to continue a career other then playing around in a beach.

“Isn’t that right Marinette?” Marinette awkwardly agreed but tried to tell Audrey that the weather for tomorrow was the weather she was waiting for to surface and couldn’t let it pass. But Audrey tells her her new life begins tomorrow and that surfing will be only a distante memory.

Damian is upset to say the least and leaves. Marinette following behind and he yells at her why she wouldn’t tell him about leaving that he though she was happy. She explains she had tried for a few days but he was so happy and he was bonding with his Nona over the movie. (To her surprise since he hated movie musicals that didn’t make logic) must be Jason and dicks influence. That she didn’t know how or when to tell him.

Damian is asking her why she’s leaving and why she’s being forced to. But she tells him it’s her choice.

“Well then change your mind! This is where you live, we’re your Nona is! Where I am!”

Marinette is taken back but she mumbles how Audrey says this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and that it was hard to come by it that it could pave her future. He pressures to know what the deal she made was and she explains half of her highschool life would be there with her Nona and the rest would be with Audrey.

She tells Damian how her mother wanted to go to college but she had her and couldn’t so she feels like she has to cause she has the chances.

“What about us” Damian says and Marinette looks at him and says “their can’t be an us after today”

“I’ll wait for you! I’ll go with you”

“I know what it feels like to miss someone Damian. And I care to much about you to put you through that”

Damian is hurt and asks her what kind of logic is that. She’s cares so much about him to break up with him ?

She tells him she doesn’t want to but that she doesn’t have much of a choice. She thanks him for the love they share and walks away.

Now, the board glows and the next day Marinette is packed and ready to leave. When she sees the picture of her and damian and the family board. The surfboard her mother used.

She leaves Audrey a note that she is going to the completion and then they can leave After it’s over. Marinette grabs surfboard that has the signature flower she puts in all her clothing and goes to the competition.

Damian is upset with her still but his glad she showed up to the competition. His family is there cheering for her. Until the storm hit. The waves were harsh and big.

They hide and see the whole thing play out they are dancing and singing. And Damian comes to the conclusion they are in the movie Marinette pales even more and panics a bit.

When he saw she was so far off that she was struggling he rushed to safe her but she yelled she had to take that wave. They both are trapped underwater and flash of light happens. Last thing they hear is Damians family screaming their names from the shore.

Damian resurfaces and find the storm is gone and it’s sunny completely different from a moment ago. Damian looks around to see Marinette she’s pissed cause that was her one shot before she left.

They both swim to the shore and Damian hears the music. Confused he scans the area and it clicks. The place looks exactly like the movie his family forces him to watch everytime they went to the beach house. Marinette seem to follow the same thought when he sees her eyes turn to horrified expression.

What do you mean we are on a movie!? I though you were the logical one!

Damian “tt, there’s no other explanation unless were dead and somehow we are stuck in the movie Grayson and Todd engraved to my memory.”

Marinette looks at him and even tho she’s terrified says “you bonded with my Nona over the movie you enjoy it to some extent”

Damian rolled his eyes, “ I only like some aspects the movie is dumb but impressive for the time it was created”

Marinette started feeling scared again and looked at Damian asking what they’re supposed to do now he though about it for a moment before saying they should blend in. Marinette doesn’t want to do such thing she just wants to leave. But Damian is already in character and before she could react he splashed her with water.

They’re all saying their names and everything goes silent waiting for her

“Uh Im Marinette”

They continue with their music number Marinette doesn’t know what to do Damian seems to have memorized everything and blends in so well she started thinking he may be enjoying it. Though his eyes screamed murder and annoyance. But his smirk betrayed him. (Must be thinking how Jason and Dick would be jealous of him)

Everyone rushes in and the moment Marinette and adrien walk in they turn to look at them making Marinette flinch.

The surfers tell them that outsiders aren’t welcome and Damian wants to say something clearly offended at how they are looking at Marinette. But a motorcycle sound makes everyone scatter. Marinette pulls Damian into a corner and shush him.

Marinette remembers this number she would be lying that she didn’t enjoy it after all the outfits were cool. Damian smirks. And recaps the scene.

Pointing where everyone will be coming out of. However the movie takes a twist.

Damians eyes are widen at the sight.

Marinette smirks.

The rodents leader “butchy” is none other then Jason.

How this was possible they don’t know. But it’s clear it’s not the Jason they know he just looks like Jason.

To his side stood Kori and Roy. Marinette couldn’t help but smile they looked great.

A surfer speaks up and Marinette side eyes Damian to see his expression. There stands Tim is a blazer and next to him is Stephanie.

They all continue to argue and then they hear an excuse me. And they see Adrien go to the front and say “what?”

Jason snaps and MAR’i!? is now moving her Hips and turns the music on.

Damian is shook.

His whole family is there he scanning the room and finds everyone even his Aunt ! He sees Duke his in the surf side. Then theirs Cass she’s in the turf side. What had him surprised that Jason was the big brother of Mar’i. Before he could react Marinette says “I’m going in”

He screams what and she winks at him saying with a smug expression “what you said to blend in”

She jumps in and she’s now wearing leather. Singing with Mar’i

Damian goes in and sings a solo much to Marinette’s surprise

Oh..two can play this game

They start dancing

Marinette cuts Damian off and sings

one, two, one, two, three who who who’s riding with me. I got a gang full of bruisers all cruisin’ with me and were tearing up, we’re tearing up we’re tearing up the streets.

Damian tried to stop it really he did but it was to late she started playing a solo guitar with Jason.

When the number ended he looked at her and said “ you really couldn’t help yourself could you”

“I really enjoyed this number okay I always wanted to recreate it”

I’m not sure if I should do a part 2

@loveswifi you inspired this with one of your stories can’t recall which one but it was Damian and Marinette stuck (trapped) somewhere together.

[burningupp-replies]

You were nervous. Of course you saw your friends all the time, and you were particularly excited to see Suki (let's face it who wouldn't be) and everyone had picked 3 kickass movies to watch - and yet, the thing you were focusing on most? Some emo boy with a scar.

Even thinking of him that way felt so wrong. First of all, he deserved to be recognized as a person, and a sweet one at that. Second, his scar was not a defining feature. Maybe at first glance, yes, but for some reason his scar seemed... Endearing. It suited him, in a weird way.

But also, yes; you definitely had some type of feelings towards your coworker. That was definitely the reason for your nerves, as much as you hated to admit it. And Sokka's constant "subtle hints" (read: blatant matchmaking) were making your nerves ramp up even more.

At 7:15 you started freaking out - everyone was there except for him. Did he change his mind? Did he decide that you weren't worth his time? Did his girlfriend-which-he-probably-had convince him to go out on a date instead?

You were going to throw up.

"I am pathetic," you told Suki, who snorted in response.

"Yeah, pretty much." when you groaned at your friend's general unhelpfulness, she sighed and turned her full attention on you. "He has never been here before, right?"

"No..."

"Uh huh. He's probably stuck looking for parking or lost or something. Stop worrying, y/n, he will be here and he will enjoy himself."

With that, Suki turned her full attention to her dumbass of a boyfriend, and you got up to go into the kitchen for a soda. Once you got one, you were headed back to the living room when the doorbell rang. Your blood turned to ice in your veins, and you suddenly forgot how to breathe.

In that moment, you felt as stupid as ever. He was just some dumb guy who just so happened to capture your attention a little. So what? People had stupid crushes all the time - sometimes it went somewhere, sometimes it didn't. You put on your big girl panties, and went to answer the door.

Only to be struck dumb once more.

Shit.

He was wearing gray sweatpants and a fitted dark red sweater. He was holding a grocery bag and a takeaway tray with a bunch of cups from the JD. He looked good, mouthwateringly so.

"Hi, y/n," he greeted.

You blinked once before scolding yourself mentally. He's a freaking person, y/n, say something!

"Hi, Zuzu!"

Nailed it.

You grinned widely and stepped aside, allowing him into yours and Sokka's apartment.

"Sorry I'm late, parking was... Difficult," he smiled, and you looked at him apologetically.

"I should have warned you. And it's fine, you're here now, so we can get started! The others are in the living room."

You guided Zuko into the living room, where greetings and hugs were shared throughout the group. He gave everyone a cup of tea - apparently Iroh had a soft spot for the gaang.

"I have some drinks and snacks with me, mind if I go into the kitchen and borrow a bowl and a glass?" he asked politely after a while.

"No problem," Sokka piped up. "y/n can show you." He then proceeded to wink very animatedly at you, and you could feel your cheeks heating up.

"That I can," you agreed with an eye roll at your roommate. "Sorry about that idiot," you sighed once you and Zuko were in the kitchen.

"No worries," he smiled as he dug around in his grocery bag. "I've known him since high school; trust me when I say I know him."

You laughed a bit at that, handing him a bowl which he accepted without a pause. It gave you a weird feeling of domesticity, and you pushed down the butterflies that were battling their way out. Instead of swooning, you grabbed a glass and poured one of his drinks for him, while he put the other ones he brought into the fridge. You couldn't help but smile to yourself.

"Alright, movie time!" you said, clapping your hands together before leading him out of the room.

In the living room, everyone were spread out everywhere. Katara and Aang were sharing a love seat, Sokka and Suki were taking up a whole-ass couch and Toph was sitting on the floor, leaving Zuko and you the other love seat as your only option. The small one, might you add. You glowered at everyone, but they all just smirked back (except for Toph, who was oblivious).

"Oh," Zuko murmured, his cheeks tinged a light pink that might just be your new favorite color.

"It's fine," you started, "I can sit on the floor."

"No, you don't have to - there's enough room for both of us," Zuko protested, and you smiled, unsure.

"I don't want to make you uncomfortable," you mumbled, your cheeks heating up again.

"Oh my god, just share the damn seat. I want to listen to a movie," Toph groaned. Yep, definitely blushing now.

Everyone laughed, and you glared at them as you and Zuko sat down on the couch. Sokka started the movie - Aladdin, the remake from 2019.

~*~

"That was a good movie," Aang praised happily as the movie ended.

"It was alright," Zuko agreed as everyone began to stretch. "So, what happens now?"

You gazed at him, not that you had much choice since your brain hadn't been able to focus on anything but him throughout the entire movie. Somewhere in the middle of the movie, you had repositioned to stretch out your legs. You hadn't thought about where you put them, though, and had ended up with them partially over his lap. You started to pull away immediately, but Zuko had just grabbed your legs like it was the most natural thing in the world and draped them over his lap. Needless to say, Sokka had been smirking. Bastard.

"Now we take a fifteen minute break, talk some shit, get some drinks, go to the bathroom, and then we watch another movie. Frozen is up next, right?" Suki answered, to which you ripped your eyes away from Zuko to nod.

Zuko looked over at you and smiled, saying, "I think I'm good here."

You practically died.

Through The Looking Glass Ruins Thoughts

what's this? I wrote this post after getting sleep instead of doing it at 3am in an attempt to not accidentally write something that is literally just incorrect for once? amazing.

oh so we're starting off with pain for Gus immediately :(

willow is tough as nails tho, that part is true

gus has a bad girl coven t-shirt!! glad to know the order came in lmao

pls I love his prerecorded message that's so cute

willow's arm is broken :(

I love Luz giving Gus even more nicknames. I like to think it's cause she remembers how excited he was about the first one.

Gus? Different types of magic?? ............... multi-tracker Gus???

BRAXUS IS SAFE THANK TITAN. also braxus is with his dad 🥺

we just met them but I think I love them?? also im a sucker for Felicia Day and she sounds adorable here.

so matt was a glandus kid, and also has an older brother who picks on him. wonder where he fits into this glandus dynamic though since he was expelled. he was construction too so he would've been in classes with Bria.

galderstones is very clever, seeing that they sound a lot like gallstones, which are just hardened deposits of bile. rocks made of witch bile probably are very powerful

love that planet of the humans was considered an implausible movie

I always forget amity is so good with kids, it's really sweet to be reminded of it

Ed and Em definitely know Luz has a crush on Amity and I'm here for it

"accidentally texted a poem to their mom" Ed's date is nonbinary pls?

obligatory name meaning bullet point: Phillip means "lover of horses" idk what to do with that but there it is

going off of that, Bria means "noble", Gavin means "white hawk" and Agnarr has some type of meaning to do with "warrior"

someone give Agnarr his butterfly sanctuary RIGHT NOW

love how excited to help out Luz Amity is when she suggested she'd show her around the human realm

"im not surprised he couldn't handle glandus"?? wasn't he expelled??

aw I love that Bria wants to make things better at Glandus

"if I catch you playing with anymore bugs I'll make you eat them" ok never mind somethings off about her

literally she's just breaking shit now, like doesn't even care about historical preservation man wtf

ok now I just hate Bria

"I heard it has the power to control the weather, and summon ghosts" I bet you its all illusions

interesting the diary is from the 1600s. I know some are theorizing about this human being Belos, which would then require an explanation for that length of time. perhaps its the magic from the palismen extending his life? if this were the case though, that means there's a chance that this great great great great grand parent clawthorne may have personally known a younger belos and gives some validity back to the belos is related to the clawthornes theories, just with much more generations between them

hey owl house crew please don't do this to me. literally started crying as soon as I saw Luz's face 😢

aw I love that the keeper was just excited to have a visitor at the graveyard

"we gain no powers from them so we're the least likely to use them" hmmm this is interesting. the stones feel like the kinda thing below probably would want for himself or his coven, so the fact that illusionists decided to protect them and keep them from falling into the wrong hands is interesting. I know I've theorized about bards being more hesitant on belos and his reign and I had a very stretched out theory about illusionists being possible to follow in that way of thinking but now it feels a little less stretched out is all?

"this is exactly how it was at glandus" look I can't help but wonder if he wasn't expelled and actually left of his own choice

pls why did that illusion work on Gavin he's literally so dumb

Bria you little shit you brought this on yourself, it's so fucking creepy but you kinda asked for it. but also I love that she thinks it can't even touch her and it does. I think that really emphasizes how skilled Gus is that she can literally feel his illusions

also the keeper is so right, Gus is so clever!! was kinda shocked to see all her spells that had worked but she just couldn't see them

ok that was very sweet of Matt to offer to help build the defenses and also aww he and Gus are definitely friends now.

Emira brushing Amity's hair and yelling at Ed for picking his skin, she really is the eldest daughter

AHH I LOVE HER HAIR

I swear to god if she gets in trouble for this im gonna fight

I also love that she chose a different color instead of just letting her roots grow out. I think it kinda shows her not wanting to look like either parent. But also purple is all matchy matchy with Luz

of course Luz got Amity her job back 🥺

THE DOOR THE ECHO MOUSE SHOWS IS LITERALLY EDA'S DOOR

this old clawthorne family member who told Gwen about the human literally knew this human personally, she had to! how else would his door end up in their backyard.

AHH IM SCREAMING AND CRYING OVER THE KISS. no really though, younger me is crying happy tears again because I can not believe we can see this stuff on children's programming nowadays, I love it so so much.

[sanchoyo]

danny phantom, season 3 episodes 3-6 thoughts!

see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3

-johnny was actually pretty civil with danny and left when he asked! thats nice. also, SKULKER?? HAD A FRAMED PICTURE OF EMBER?? oooo fuck wait had they established they were a Thing Before?? I dont think so. thats weird. its like that country boy/goth girl meme lmfao. I think i am going to choose to ignore this new info and pretend I didnt hear it. 100% unrelated to the jazz/ember fanart I already drew and posted....😳

-LADIES NIGHT EPISODE THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. wish it didnt really center around the guys or them being pissed at them, but. willing to bet this was written by men lol

-THEY ERASED ALL THE MEN??? meanwhile, jack and danny are fishing at. silent hill or something. im glad jack is trying to read a parenting book and making an Attempt. (theyre at lake erie, but, they made it actually eerie...thats fun)

-the girls alt outfits...cute. EMBER MADE A NEW SONG TOO!!! kinda. jazz being one of the backup singers and being AWFUL. NOOOO

-'how are we going to get kitty to blow a kiss?' 'she'll have to think there are still some males in town!' ...i dont know how to break it to you, but I dont know that a 100% het girl would wish for all men to Begone. I think. I mean im not a het or a girl so I dont really know for sure. she Is probably Bi tho. esp having the other ladies in town chanting NO MEN!!! excitedly............(then again, the kiss is to get Rid of men, so, she probably would have blown it at the ladies only if they were actively trying to attack/stop them, so...I MEAN. THE DRESSING LIKE DANNY BIT WAS SO EXTRA)

-I feel like an all female cast ep couldve been way way way way cooler than that was. like. why was it still somehow all about Men. ...anyway. (where was valerie...)

-next ep opens with the observants, and, way way more of them than I expected...existed? I mean I guess them being a council/jury of some kind is what I expected from their first appearance (bc at that time they were basically TELLING clockwork to kill danny, not asking,, so I figured they had SOME kind of authority) but. there were so many. anyway, here goes vlad! letting his own hubris go brrrr. releasing a weather ghost for political gain! #justvladthings

-okay say what you will about him (he IS an asshole) but having an umbrella with his own face on it and more prepared to share is SUPER FUNNY. and him being fanned by huge wads of money by his bodyguards. SO ineffective but so Dramatic. He UNDERSTANDS that if youre rich you need to be. you know. obnoxious and kinda eccentric about it! fuckign hate when rich people are boring about it. I would trust vlad with nothing except to not be a boring rich asshole who wears...fucking khaki or some shit. man knows his Presentation Skills. and that 'V' chair in his mayoral office. is that fucking embroidered?

-maddie get your MAN PLEEEEASSSE. IM SO EMBARRASSED FOR HER. the way jack stays simping for this man. in FRONT OF HIS WIFE!!!! ...my god its like a love triangle. jack clearly loves vlad, who loves maddie, who loves jack. jack fenton is at the very least bi, right................. this is an OBSESSION . 'THE V MAN COMETH'???? i...my god. (also, on a serious note, to have a friend THIS SUPPORTIVE...and still be SUCH A DICK TO HIM (TRYING TO KILL HIM AND STEAL HIS WIFE??) NOT COOL VLAD. JACK IS YOUR 1 AND /ONLY/ HYPE MAN. if someone loved and supported me THIS HARD...LIKE. CMON DUDE.

-STOMP the fucking GAS, JACK

-this would make a great shirt design, looks like a metal band design! we love The Maelstrom

-oh, so vlad did in fact get a mansion in amity park. and its purple! good color choice! not as flashy as a CASTLE or MURDER CABIN, but still pretty eccentric, which I appreciate.

-...vlad knows the difference between picasso and da vinci? in the ep last post where we were watching him fail at conquering every historical time ever he didnt seem to know history well enough to like. be effective...was vlad taking art history at college?? (was he an art MAJOR??? we never DID KNOW WHAT HE WENT TO SCHOOL FOR. I kinda assumed business because in the masters of time ep he was still rich without ghost powers so he had to have..known something about business or something, right...but also, art and or theater FITS HIS PERSONALITY. possibly also something science-y, I guess, but I always felt like he got roped into that, esp how pessimistic he was about the ghost portal in the flashbacks to college, like, i felt like he was just there for maddie and was uninterested/un-invested at the time...)

-THIS GHOST JUST ELECTROCUTED MADDIE (THE CAT) BITCH!! THATS MY FAVORITE MADDIE!!! vlad going after vortex and being ~shocked~ .....WHEN. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN. THAT YOUR ACTIONS. HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!

-the way this random man with a camera sees the mayor laying in an alley covered in TRASH AND DECIDES TO TAKE A PICTURE HAHAH

*snap* this ones going in my cringe compilation!

-vlad 'if we're going to defeat vortex, we're going to have to do it together!' *immediately dips after dropping danny off in front of vortex* JKASDFHKJHJKN

-DANNY CAN DUPLICATE!!! ...he couldnt even attack with it, but he DID IT!!! INTO (4) OF HIMSELF!!! SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!

-'THE ROLLER COASTER EMOTIONS OF A TEENAGER THREATEN MY PLANS!' ...0 self awareness of his own dramatic moodiness. incredible, how dumb this man is. its very close to circling around to endearing, if he was less of an asshole. at least its very very funny to see danny shooting him with tiny lightning bolts anytime he's even slightly irritated! vlad you should be nice to danny anyway. this is what you GET

-...making sandwiches and ice cream and playing video games with your nephew is a totally normal thing. WHY is vlad acting like this is the end of the world. if you were a GOOD UNCLE YOU WOULD ALREADY BE DOING THESE THINGS!!! bitch I make my nephew food all the time and dont forget what he does and doesnt like. if u didnt know danny didnt want tomatoes, thats on u. if u, a grown adult, are gonna piss of the 14 yr old by not letting him win, u deserve to have to pay for the arcade machines he ruins because he now has uncontrollable storm powers because YOU THREW HIM INTO A FIGHT WITH THE STORM GHOST. fuck u vlad. paypal me $400,000 while ur at it tho. (also, gamer vlad confirmed)

-VLAD CAN COOK THOUGH???! I assumed he had...people working for him that did that. I mean. billionaires usually dont do that. then again, we've only seen those vultures working for him (and I guess the dairy king was AT his old mansion, but it was never really clarified if he worked there...I think he probably just Hung Out and they Enjoyed Cheeses Together. thats what I think, I dont think a KING would be working for anyone and also the dairy king was nice <3) but then again he would be a private person and we cant have anyone accidentally finding Ghostly Things, so...still, that's hilarious. pour one out for that really cute banana split that got ruined 2 seconds later

-vlad just fucking picking danny up and THROWING HIM AT VORTEX TWICE WITHIN LIKE A MINUTE. JUST ABSOLUTELY LAUNCHING HIM. BITCH THATS MY SON BE CAREFUL!!! HES GOT ORGANS AND THINGS!!!!

-danny seeing those animal commercials and feeling sad is the biggest 2000s throwback so far. i legitimately had to change the channel or walk out of the room when those came on bc id CRY AND BE SAD ABOUT THEM FOR DAYS AFTER. fuck those commercials and fuck that IN THE ARMMMS OF AN ANGELLLL song 😭

-'vlads ego almost got the town destroyed!' yes danny thats the entire episode. the entire series anytime vlad shows up honestly. this episode was just him being really embarrassing the entire time, and, me laughing about it. 10/10 would laugh at him again

-NEXT EP WE HAVE A SHAPESHIFTING GHOST?? I've said it before but shapeshifting is the power I would want when asked those 'what superpower do you want' questions...its the Best power! this guy looks like a homestuck character. ive never read homestuck but thats the vibe

-I love every time we see tuckers family, they are by far the most functional family. and dash has a lil chihuahua!!! named pookie!!! i am crying (I've had 3 chihuahuas, so I am very biased, but...) AND HE WATCHES THE ROMANCE CHANNEL WITH POOKIE. POOKIE I WILL DIE FOR YOU YOU SWEET LITTLE BABY.

-danny can lift a bus! I shouldn't be surprised, but i am proud of my son. hes got lil kid fans. i am going to cry about this

-JAZZ KEEPS A SCRAPBOOK WITH DANNY'S LIL HEROICS AND NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS!!! we've actually seen it on her floor before, but I didnt realize it was a scrapbook!! thats sooo cute.

-...and danny has to stand there listening to his parents saying danny phantom sucks and is a 'filthy ghost' and calling him egotistical...i am once again stealing their kids!

-THIS GHOST RIPPING JAZZ'S SCRAPBOOK!!! ILL KILL YOU. SHE WORKED HARD ON THAT!!! BITCH

-yes, maddie, the one with red eyes is For Sure Actually Your Son. ignore the, red eyes... (CLEARLY she hasnt watched the other 2 eps where danny has been evil, she doesnt know red eyes= evil!!!)

-'billy fenton'.......................

-danny being stuck as phantom in his own house, no way out is a fucking NIGHTMARE. his parents pointing giant weapons against him and SHOOTING AT HIM. THIS IS A HORROR MOVIE.

-NINE INCH NAILS POSTER.

-this is the most screenshot of all time

-amorpho turning into mr. lancer because hes 'someone no one will want to be around' BUT HES WRONG, I WOULD BEFRIEND AND HANG OUT WITH MR LANCER SO FAST.

-tucker dressing as danny, now I have the full Tucker set of him being sam and also being danny. also saying 'the ghost...uh...RIPPED MY FACE OFF.' and then running. SMOOTH. NOT AT ALL CONCERNING TO ANY PARENTS.

-sam accepts the toast from jack. and then 2 seconds later is like 'why am i eating this.' THIS SHOWS HUMOR IS SO UNEXPECTED SOMETIMES ITS REALLY GOOD. and then the scene after, mr lancer running into his ghost doppelganger and being like 'YOURE GORGOUS' THEN FAINTING. I AM CRYING. AND DASH FAINTING TOO.

-sam disguising herself as danny again to help tucker run from the fentons. but leaving him shirtless in the streets. incredible. 'plEASE DOnt NOTice MY FACELessNESS I MUST LIVE IN EXILE' this episode is destroying me the humor in this show is exactly my brand of corny and cheesy

-the impromtu story made up by danny and amorpho to explain stuff to the fentons. my god they are both such bad liars. but amorpho is a good egg. wish danny wouldnt have said he didnt wanna see him in town again!! I want him to be reoccurring. not that thats gonna matter since I'm almost done with the series, but the idea of this being the Only Time We See him is :(

-NEXT EP SAYS STARRING MARK HAMILL??????!!! hello ! mr . joker....mr. star wars.... I feel like I should be. idk. taking off a hat im not wearing in respect. I shouldnt be surprised tho bc hes in a lot of cartoons as a very good voice actor, and dp has already had a lot of talented ones so I've been looking out for ones I might know, but....mr. hamill....

-sam has her own greenhouse, names all the plants, and says thank you to them (in the languages from where the plants are from) whenever she harvests from them. thats SO cute. and her lil gothy lunch box...

-and danny's lil red fuzzy lined jacket!!! ive said it before but every time the characters get alt outfits im like :D

-danny has ice powers now!!! THATS WHAT FROSTBITE MEANT. HE KNEW SOMEHOW WAY BACK THEN

-THIS SHOW NEVER LETS YOU FORGET VLAD IS A BILLIONAIRE, HUH.

-danny's lil 'holy hibiscus!' first off the 50s batman swearing is hilarious. 2nd. my username is from the flower sanchoyo hibiscus, so, shoutout to ME this ep. hi :)

-EURGH UNDERGROWTH MAKING EVERYONE PLANT ZOMBIES. HIVEMIND PLOTS SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME. and this dude made the city SO overtaken so quickly like how long was danny asleep?? oh god

-evil fucked up sam! now the whole trio has gone evil at some point! the voice actress did a really, really good job with making her sound like a zombie...

-frostbite's paws are so so so big compared to danny. oh my god. i want to hug the snow dog...

-the far frozen has an advanced medical stuff!!! very cool. very smart snow dogs

-im so glad danny has a friendly ghost snow dad to explain this new power and teach him!!! this is so sweet. DANNY'S GHOST SENSE WAS A PART OF HIS ICE POWER?? OOOH. COOL. we love a training montage!!!

-danny saying if he cant defeat overgrowth, that he'd want to stay with frostbite...oh my god...do you think this is the first real supportive adult figure in his life (I am NOT counting his parents because they threaten him on the daily even if they dont realize it.) I mean mr lancer is a Teacher, but he was also nice but this is different, but this is a GHOST WHO IS WILLING TO HELP HIM with his powers and also will help him when hes injured and is so so nice and comparatively so much more mature than 90% of the adults in this show!!!! god. dad frostbite is my everything.

-the framing and lighting this episode, and all the angles...they went all OUT and it looks really really good. this is my nightmare scenario, tho. like, FUCK zombies and dead city zones and hivemind shit. and using the humans as 'nutrients for the children' i am going to THROW UP.

-MALEFICENT VIBES WITH THE HORNS AND GREEN EYES! this costume kicks so much ass. sam is now mark hamills daughter, I guess.

-danny's ice powers making his eyes blue!!! thats neat. and him going for the roots underground was SO SMART. i will not stand for danny ever thinking hes stupid, hes SO smart.

almost done with the show... :"( thats a sad thought!!!
