this is so different from the other posts i do but fuck it. descendants 4: rise of red review, spoilers ofc, we still boycott disney's ass, pirate this movie like uma and her crew ate the intro of this movie instead of watching this from disney+
keep reading if youve seen it or dont care about spoilers but tldr: if you havent seen it and see this as a spin off movie instead of a 4th installment, i say go watch it. its basically how i feel about the 2024 mean girls movie, im just here for certain characters, dynamics and songs, and a bit of the actual plot, its fun but definitely not for everyone, i liked parts of the movie/plots tho
okay honestly overall, despite the fucking terrible rushed ass ending, i still honestly enjoyed a lot of aspects of this movie.
songs, generally i liked. yeah its all pop-y but yk, none of them were unbearable, i loop red, whats my name (red vers.) and love aint it what about it
the editing was. a choice at times. like it will cut at the most random moments and when red was being transported and fell from that. pipe. thing in the castle it was so. disney channel editing core LIKE OKAY I KNOWW OFC IT IS but grahhhhhHH
the cg was good, direction was. also a choice at times. idk how to explain it but it felt like every scene was being directed like a music video and not like a MOVIE esp the lighting oh my god idk what it is but its so GLOWY AND WEIRDD
the characters themselves, i love the main cast, red, chloe, ella, bridget, etc. were all cool. IM A FIRM RED/CHLOE SHIPPER THEY ARE GIRLFRIENDS IDC and i also liked the dynamic they have with their past moms it was nice
oh yeah i dont mind how they wrote mal, evie, jay, and ben outta the story, i mean they gotta explain their absence yk. and i loved the carlos tribute, you can tell china was genuinely not acting in that tribute scene.
the vks were. okay. i dont mind that literally every villain/princess/disney protag goes to high school. this whole series basically feature length fanfiction anyway, idc personally about that. its weird URSULAS SISTER was the main antagonist. like i get having a completely new villain aside from the vks parents or something but. ursulas. sister??? besides you could tell me shes ursula and ill believe you.
its nice seeing filipino prince charming thats it thats all i gotta say RAHHH PHILIPPINES BABYYY 🔥🔥��🔥🔥 MY MANS GOT THAT 'PINO RIZZ OKAYYY
the plot was actually fun, but yeah I WISH WE COULDVE SEEN CASTLECOMING WE WERE ROBBED OF THAT i knew when red and chloe got the book there was like 10 minutes left in the film but cmonn we couldve had Morgie, I DONT KNOW somehow freeing the rest of the vks and them STEALING THE POCKETWATCH AND RED AND CHLOE HAVING TO GET IT BACK, GET ANOTHER 30 MINUTES IN THE FILM MAYBE, ANOTHER ACTION SEQUENCE, CASTLECOMING. but its finee im sure theres a fanfiction in the works somewhere that has that exact premise because thats what fanfic is for babyyyy
imagine. during the dance chloe and red are scrambling to find the watch, they see the vks, they find bridget crying because her best friend isnt there, she thinks ella bailed on her, they have to find the watch but, they gotta make her feel better right? red comforts her while chloe chases after them to find the watch, ella comes to the dance late after deciding, fuck my stepmom, get your hands dirty parallels, something something, the four of them all stopping the vks together, THEN they travel back.
i should just write a fix it fic for this movie at this point damnn i impressed myself
but yeah the ending does leave a lot of plot holes, if bridget didnt change from the past WHO DID, if Red even CONSIDERED a VK in this timeline? if not then WHO IS IT?? IS IT CHLOE?? its hella rushed, its ass, but i guess we'll find out in the 5th movie ig
also i thought they were totally setting it up for Ella to be the one that humiliated Bridget in the past, like the "I saw through her" in Love Ain't It we NEVER GOT ANY CLOSURE FROM THAT WHAT HAPPENED?? sighhh its okay its fine
i see this movie as a spin off movie rather than a 4th installment of the universe because it pretty much is, like its basically its OWN universe with the lack of the og cast and new characters. i unofficially coin it as the "Descendants: Redverse" because it just makes more sense
so many questions, mainly WHY, but yeah, still liked it, would rewatch. certain. parts of it. but honestly? a 7/10. leaning towards a 7.5
is this a recommendation? not sure, depending on who you are you could totally love this film or hate it, i say give it a chance and completely ignore the busted ass ending <3
anyways KENDRICKKK FANFIC WRITERSSSSSS- DROP SOME MORE CHARMINGHEARTS FANFICS/D4 FIX IT FICSSS. AND MY LIFE, IS YOURRSSSS

Reviewing Every UKISS Release: By Unpopular Demand ~ Tick Tack + Forever (For KISS Me) + Forbidden Love
So releases from this point onward until around ~2014/15ish are constant and hectic, so I've had to deviate from my original plan a bit. I think grouping the JP singles + KR digital singles in 3s helps keep things a little less...unwieldy, and less constrained by image limits on posts.
Tumblr media
Tick Tack - 1st JP Single | 2011.12.14
This was the PV that got accidentally leaked, right? Like they posted the full version of this instead of the short version, and that's why it was so easy to watch it on YouTube or whatever, and it was super easy to get the full audio because of it lol. I think it only took me a day or two to find a 320kbps download of it. Anyway, another pivotal moment of my tween years.
Tick Tack (Audio) | YouTube Music 5.3M | Spotify 1.11M
God that clock sound is so good
Love the entire vocal line stuffed into the first verse
Vocal troika taking the chorus love that for them
Also love stuffing everyone into the second verse
I like that the parallel with the first and third verses where the former is all the vocalists and the latter is all the rappers
SooHoon + Dongho bridge? An odd combo but very much goated
Honestly super impressed at how much this song is a team effort
Obviously Soohyun, Kevin, and Hoon have the most lines since they do the chorus, but Dongho gets a good amount with his little extra rap, and while AJ, Eli, and Kiseop get a couple lines each
And yeah sure it's a couple of lines, but they are attention-grabbing
Always appreciate a good bookend with the clock returning
Love the dramatic music, love the dramatic lyrics, it's such a good follow-up to NEVERLAND, and an insane first JP release
So lyrically, is this a reluctant breakup song? Like is this a toxic relationship that they're ending even though they're still in love?
That's a new breakup theme for them
10/10 "the perfect Japanese debut for a Kpop group doesn't exi-" wrong
Tick Tack (MV) | Short ver. 3.9M | Official upload 733k
Oh buckle in buckaroos I got a legit copy of this on my laptop AND of every JP MV right up until 2016 babyyy
And I can't remember if it was they learnt the choreo in 3 days (while promoting) or if they both learnt it in 3 days while their choreographer was still working on it
Tumblr media
Iconic and lol their positions
Kiseop, AJ, and Eli are just kinda comfortably posing
Soohyun on his knees, Dongho chilling on the floor, and Kevin making modern art with his body lol
Also the dramatic grasping hands
Abandoned Warehouse Set #1 with an amazingly large clock
Tumblr media
Abandoned Warehouse Set #2 + group sadboy shot
I love the black/white look with red accents super chic, but is Soohyun the only one without white? I mean fair he is the real MC of UKISS
Not Hoon being the only in a full pose
Tumblr media
Ew Kiseop don't touch the dust/ash that's dirty
Oh his hair....it's kinda pompadour-esque. I remember thinking it was super cool back in the day, but it's kinda...tragic now lol
Still looks good though, hard for his face card to ever decline
Tumblr media
Love the fanning out of this part, it's super cool on stages for such a simple step
Also these grey suits are gorgeous and it's 2011, so of course it's paired with combat boots
Surprised that this dance has only resulted in one instance of ripped pants
Could be more, but Hoon ripping his pants during their Best Of tour promos is peak comedy
Tumblr media
This part is also very cool, very fun to look at
I could've sworn they wore gloves during the dance, but I guess not? They're wearing them for the dramatic solo shots though
Tumblr media
Dongho with yet again the bowliest bowlcut to ever bowl
Tumblr media
Another personal favourite choreo bit
It's a bit difficult to explain, but the force and purpose Soohyun uses when he slides his hand down Kiseop's back is so cool
Tumblr media
The way he pops up kills me every time
Tumblr media
These are the worst outfits in the video
I hate the white sleeves so much they make them look juvenile
Like I get black sleeves probably wouldn't have worked with this set since they'd get lost in the dark edges of the frame
But a dark colour would've worked, or heck even no sleeves
On the topic of outfits, not much to say about their hair that hasn't been said already
This was filmed during NEVERLAND promos I think, so their hair is fine
Kevin, Soohyun, and AJ have great hairstyles; Hoon, Eli, and Dongho are fine; Kiseop's pompadour is meh, but I really like his hair when they're in the grey suits
The fluffy hair looks really good on him, much better than the sleek look he wore for NEVERLAND
Tumblr media
The dance battle is cute, really helps give everyone a bit more spotlight
Tumblr media
This part? Seared into my brain
What's falling down from the ceiling? Ashes? Dust? Snow? Asbestos? We may never know
Anyway, no story, just a banger dance and brooding shots in The Box and some abandoned spaces
Oh and this isn't in the MV, obviously, but remember how Hoon and Kiseop nearly knocked each other out while filming this? I don't remember the exact documentary, but it must have been that one they did during NEVERLAND
They were all so enamoured with the giant clock too lol
10/10 still gives an insane dopamine rush
Coincidence | YouTube Music 113k | Spotify N/A
It's so insane that this banger is just a random b-side for a single?
I'm trying to figure out who dominates this song, and while my initial instinct is to say it's a Kevin song, Eli is also a very constant presence? Soohyun and Hoon also have parts that are more memorable. All I can say is that this is definitely not a Kiseop (RIP) song
Love the first and last choruses are SooVin while the others are HoonVin
Soohyun's little "follow me!" is so cute omg
I really like AJ's rap here he always makes it so interesting
The cute little SooSeop verse
Dongho's rap was also nice, like the little break for AJ and AJ+Eli
The little bridge part with SooHoon and Eli+Dongho is really cool
I like the darker sound of this, very fitting to be Tick Tack's b-side
Not entirely sure what the song is about? I think it's about meeting an ex again, hence all the mentions of coincidences and fate?
The colourless world mentions sure make it sound depressing though
Also looking at the lyrics, I thought the song was a lot more complex than it is? It really is just like 5 choruses, 3 post-choruses, a couple of verses and a bridge
I think the constant switching of singers/rappers help make it sound more complex
9.5/10 super catchy. I can't believe I actually forgot about this song until I got back into this hellscape
0330 -Piano & Chorus ver.- | YouTube Music N/A | Spotify N/A
There's no official upload but the fan upload of it is sitting at 16k
I think they did this in their 2012 tour? Anyway, sounds a lot like the Christmas version which I really like
Love the stripped down sound, really turns it from crying in the club to crying in the tub
What can I say, I'm a sucker for them harmonizing in the background
Vocal troika really shines in sounding like kicked puppies in this version
9.25/10 higher than the original version because I love me some pathetic-sounding men (affectionate)
Tumblr media
Forever (For KISS Me) - 1st Digital Single | 2011.12.22
I remember this coming out!!! Got home from school and did the good ol' YT video-mp3 converter to get it on my laptop. I remember distinctly loving it, then also never playing it lol. It's got a special place in my heart now though, like special as in it makes me a bit teary lol.
Forever (For KISS Me) | YouTube Music 419k | Spotify 13k
So if I'm remembering correctly, this is a song they reworked to be fanservice. The original singers were an older NH group, I think, like before Paran
Something Eli and AJ always having to do a spoken word opening in their songs from this time is so funny to me
"Parting was so hard 'cause you are my only passion" I always thought that it was "partying was so hard" which was super funny, but I see now that I was wrong
"Come visit here it's our lovely party mansion" that always gets a chortle from me like I love them, I actually wouldn't mind drinking with them, but I do not wanna party with them they're all insane
I think it's cute they all get whole verses to themselves, really gives them all enough time to shine during encores lol
So after the Dongho and Eli raps come my favourite part of the whole song - the sex kitten vocal trio building up to Soohyun
Kiseop > Hoon > Kevin > Soohyun is sooooo good and I love building from Kiseop's soft voice to Soohyun the Powerhouse
Also once again, validates my belief that what Kevin is to Soohyun vocally, is what Kiseop is to Hoon, and is why the four of them can be matched off with each other in any way and still sound good
Honestly, the song is mostly the vocal line, sans AJ. The rap line is just there to act as hype men
Music is cute, super upbeat and poppy, and the lyrics are equally mushy
7.75/10 not something I'd listen to on my own volition, but it's always fun watching lives of this, and I love how much the vocal line is allowed to shine (read: I love how many lines Kiseop gets)
Tumblr media
Forbidden Love - 2nd JP Single | 2012.02.29
I remember obsessively watching the short MV on YouTube because now when I listen to the song, I can still pick out exactly where it ended lol. I also remember really wanting the shirts they wore for the single cover because it was so ~*~cool~*~ and lowkey edgy, which is perfect for a wangsty tween.
Forbidden Love (Audio) | YouTube Music 1.2M | Spotify 571k
Another song, another dance beat, and I'm absolutely not complaining lol
I really like Kevin's opening line, love the "...najitte mitari-i-i" bit
Plenty of gratuitous English, a very important staple for them from this point on
Again, the entire vocal line stuffed into the first verse, yeah AJ's not singing, but he was there
Love how Hoon drags out the "...datta kedo~" part right into Soohyun's line, and the slowdown in Soohyun's line to transition to Kiseop, and AJ's rap picks up the pace again into the chorus, super fun to listen to
Even though I know the start of the chorus is "I, my, me, mine", I always forget the "mine" because it's off-beat
And okay, the first chorus always kills me because of Soohyun
The "subete kakete Egaku ai no sign", is so funny to me because I just think about him doing the ahegao face while singing it during the MC break in their anniversary tour
Like his eyes were completely rolled back and the camera, bless their heart, did a great close up
And he did it like 3 times I love him so much
Back to the song, I really like how the second verse starts with Kiseop, and how Eli bridges the gap between him to Soohyun, and they do the same thing as verse 1, this time going from Soohyun > Hoon > Kiseop
HoonVin second chorus, once again, has me begging for more duets with them, they sound insanely sweet
Vocal troika taking the last chorus is soooo good
SooHoon back-to-back high notes? They were feeding us so good
Love the constant "love, love, love" and "you make me feel this love" in the background
Like it's almost too much with the music, but it oddly works?
The song is basically exactly what the title says - a forbidden relationship that's doomed to end, but they're like "no baby I love youuuu"
There's also an implication of class difference? First verse has what google tells me translates to "this relationship began with me overreaching myself/but I finally feel like I'm equal to you"
Could just be that girl is way out of their league, idk
10/10 I go back and forth between whether I prefer Tick Tack over this, but they're both like pure dopamine being injected in to my brain
Forbidden Love (MV) | Short ver. 604k | Official upload 462k
Once again, I was so obsessed with watching the short MV
Yes I did watch the full version but I mostly watched the official short one because I couldn't afford to materially support them
Tumblr media
There's a lot happening in this first scene
First, Kiseop, take your damn shoes off that's dirty, but I'm happy you're like kind of the protagonist for the non-dance non-solo shot parts of this
Second, why is there a life preserver on the bed? Is it supposed to symbolize that this forbidden love is a life saver?
Why are the chairs tipped over? Why is there an Arizona 51 sign? Are the sirens like directly outside the window or what? What exactly is that next to the bed?
Aww the little Kevin solo dance
I like the little circular bit they do while snapping to change formation
Tumblr media
Soohyun bodying the hell out of this part
*Kevin voice* "Why are you so passionate during this part of the dance? Is there something you need to tell us?"
Or at least something like that god Teattari Shidai was so funny, and Kevin and Soohyun were constantly catfighting at that time
I think his explanation was about timing the body roll to it but idk he's just really good at it
I like this set by the way, a new version of The Box for them
Tumblr media
Is...is that a tree? Why is there a tree growing in your apartment?
Tumblr media
Ooh AJ was really hot in this era I think this is when he fully entered my crush category
Is he wearing winged liner? Goated love his eyes
Tumblr media
Kiseop and AJ always make this part of the dance look so cool
Oh and the preceding part with the little shuffle into this
They just have that je ne sais quoi chill that makes look natural
Man I just love this dance, there's a bunch of shoulder shimmies and like at least 3 pelvic thrusts
Tumblr media
Wait my guy why is mattress bare like that
Tumblr media
Okay pause for a moment to talk about these costumes
Love the black-red suit combo, love the red laces on the boots
I'm a huge sucker for epaulettes so obviously AJ has my favourite suit
Love the rhinestoned lapels for Kiseop and Kevin
Like the glittery lapels for Soohyun and Dongho
Eli has epaulettes too, but because they're also black, they're practically invisible until the closeup shots
Hoon's suit is fine, just more subtle with glitter on the outside of his lapels
In terms of hair, Kiseop and AJ are on their A-game, love the fluffier hair for them
Soohyun, Hoon, and Eli all look fine, like those are pretty standard looks for them
Dongho still has his bowlcut, and while I don't hate Kevin's hair, I wish it had more texture to it?
The ironed hair with the sideswept bangs just aren't that great on him, especially not with the single-toned hair
Tumblr media
WHY IS SOOHYUN SO GOOD AT THIS WHY IS HE SLIGHTLY CUPPING HIS HAND
Tumblr media
Also like this set, very cool
These costumes are okay, the white-red is a nice combo, but the clothes themselves are less snazzy and more understated the other set
Most baffling choice is why Dongho has a belted coat on rather than a blazer
Also not a huge fan of the longer jackets Soohyun, Kiseop, and Kevin have on
It's not the worst, and I think I could like them in a different MV, but it's a bit too...floppy with this dance
Hairs are a downgrade from the first set of costumes, except for AJ whose hair is glorious at this time
Tumblr media
Like I'm sorry to bring this up again but look at his winged linerrrr
He actually looks like a cat
Oooh slowmo shot during the dance break
Tumblr media
They really love this move we'll be seeing this a lot in their JP dances
Well I mean they already did a variation of it in Shut Up!!
Tumblr media
Also love this part it's so cool how Kiseop transitions back to the dance, very reminiscent of when he does this in NEVERLAND
I like how the choreo tones down for the double high notes so everyone's focusing on Hoon and Soohyun
Lowkey wish we got a dance version of this I would love a wide shot of this to see every bit of choreo
There's no shot of them in their casual outfits, but they all looked fine, very standard 2012 male idol fashion
So yeah, not really much of a story to this, lots of solo shots and dancing
9.5/10 I think I'd prefer a whole dance vid for this, and I really didn't like the white costumes, and they never answered why were the sirens going off at the apartment set???
Redial | YouTube Music 13k | Spotify N/A
I completely forgot about this song until recently
I do vaguely remember listening to it before, so I think I had it on my first laptop and for whatever reason either forgot to transfer it to my second one, or couldn't find another download of it
Is that...a synth harpsichord? It sounds like the harpsichord setting on electronic keyboards like I swear that's what the one at school sounded like
SooSeop sharing verses? Goated
I thought this song had a lot more Hoon and Kevin, but I guess not?
Vocal troika are kinda tied for lines, even though I think I remember Kevin's more because he does a title drop in the first chorus
Dongho gets a bulk of the raps, but Eli isn't too far behind, nor is AJ
Kiseop gets what amounts to nearly a whole verse, plus he's sharing with Soohyun so that's cool
Ooh just noticed it's a sex kitten trio leading in from the second half of the first verse to the pre-chorus and chorus
It feels like a weirdly paced song
I don't know if it's all the synth sounds and the heavy beat, or if it's the lengthier raps to a slower beat but it feels both oddly long and short at once, even though it's basically the same length as Forbidden Love
Maybe it's the shorter verses compared to the raps and choruses?
Or how the bridge comes out of the second rap chunk without really changing tempo as it goes to the last verse?
Lyrically, it's pining over an ex, very normal UKISS stuff
7.5/10 I do like it and it is in a lot of my playlists, but something about this song just makes me uneasy lol
I wish I had a fun fact for this little time, but unfortunately everything funny I know from 2012 is from after this. Anyway, crazy that this all happened within a year of 0330 and Hoon and AJ joining. Like they honestly fit in so seamlessly it's like they've always been there.
So yeah, we're fully entering what I guess we can call their 'peak' era in terms of popularity (lol, lmao even) and activities, and also approaching when I started being chronically online and had actively blogged about them on this good ol' hellsite. Yes, I did find all of my reblogs and tags from that time and dear lord, 2012-2014 for tweenies-turning-teens is very psyche-damaging in our current year.

Food Symbolism in Last Twilight
(woo, first post!)
Something I noticed in Last Twilight was how depictions of food contributed to the storytelling. Well, it makes sense given that Day's mom and Mhok have been cooking food in the series.
At the beginning of Mhok's caretaking job, it's made clear to the audience what Day's eating habits are and the kind of food he eats.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
P'Mhon's food is Day's comfort zone, and something he's eaten time and time again. It makes sense for him to only want to eat his mom's food as he's living with a major change in his life – he knows what it's going to taste like, and he knows how his mom cooks. And this familiarity brings him safety, doesn't leave him vulnerable.
And the detail that the food Day and/or Night eats is often reheated for his meals can go two different ways. First, it represents the amount of love P'Mhon has for her kids. That she would put in the time and effort to make sure that they didn't go hungry while she was away. Even if she wasn't physically present, there is still a part of her with them. On the other hand, these stored meals also represent the distance between P'Mhon and her children. The fact that she's mostly absent in the series because she's away for work, only present for brief moments before leaving again. And yeah, having stored food that a loved one cooked for you is great, but it's not the same as having a freshly cooked meal in front of you. It's not the same as having that person actually with you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mhok's cooking at the start is... average, to say the least. Despite not having much experience, the series shows us that he's willing to learn more and hone his skills. It parallels his dynamic as a caretaker to Day; how he had little knowledge of what Day experiences as a blind man and wanted to fix that to be a better caretaker.
And I think these are a great metaphor for how Mhok brings Day out of his comfort zone, allows Day to experience things he was once familiar with in a new perspective. Mhok gives day a different type of safety from his mom's that enables him to have more control in his decisions. To step out of his comfort zone and experience new things.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These experiences are so important because it shows us that Day can take enjoyment in them, and that his disability doesn't limit or hinder him.
Which brings me to episode 10.
Tumblr media
What's interesting about this sentence is that yeah Day says it so that Night can take him to the place where Mhok works this whole scene was very cute, but it does contrast Day's attitudes toward his mom's food in the early episodes. Day actively wants to branch out from the familiarity of his mom's cooking. He's moving forward in his life and doesn't want to go back to the isolation and withdrawal from society.
Tumblr media
So yeah that thing I said about how nothing beats a freshly cooked meal? 👆🏽👆🏽that's what I'm talkin about babyyy
Also this?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mhok's growth as a cook in this series really shines in this scene in a way that parallels his growth as a caretaker to Day. And much like P'Mhon shows her love through the food she cooks – which is mainly Thai cuisine – Mhok shows that same love and care through his food.
So yeah, that's it thanks for attending my Ted talk-. This show has 2 eps left so we'll see if they'll show more food for me to hyper-analyze with the narrative.

omg OMG dont even get me STARTED on honey and tangerines
i've genuinely been meaning to reread it this summer, THAT FIC IS ONE OF MY FAV THINGS IN THE WORLD... THE VIBES-
like okay yes almost all of ur fics are my fav in the world, but honey and tangerines hits DIFF man
i started that fic thinking the main conflict was going to be crimeboys, and then angelduo came in with a sledge hammer holy shit
dude. that convo in chapter eight SMACK CAMMED ME SO HARD
like
i remember reading the summary and being like "ooo!! skateboarding", i didnt even clock how the part with phil could be ominous man like-
oooh boi
[takes a deep breath]
im getting emotional thinking about it rn, i havent read this in so long ohmgyod i miss this fic:(
side note before i get into my full mental breakdown over the ConvoTM, i never wanted to learn how to skateboard till i read this fic lmfaoooo
idek why, i was just... never interested, even my bf was like YOO ITS SO COOL and i was like Eh
and then i read this chapter and i was like "... maybe it Can be cool"
brooo BROOO
okay yeah that convo...
i think it's the hardest i've cried reading any of ur fics, normally i tear up and yknow do my whole Pterodactyl screech, but i dont often full blown cry, but holy shit man. Honey and tangerines? I'm pretty sure I bawled.
uh oh im crying again rereading this scene BROO ITS JUST SO WJEAFOIAWEOIRJAWEROIAWEROIWAERJAWEOIJRWAOIERKJLWERJOIWEJWEARIJ
ow
im in pain again
anYWAYS
god this fic is actually the greatest fucking thing in the world i love it so much bee u have no idea bro i adore it to my core :(((
i dont know how to describe it but ooohh my goodness
i just :(( idk i love indie vibes a lot
like... one of my favourite movies is Perks of Being a Wallflower. Indie movies are really important to me bc it just :( it makes me feel like My life will be okay, if their life works out. and... slice of life vibes are just the best
and honey and tangerines is the perfect fic to ever indie vibe, the playlist, the little fluff moments, the climax, everything about it is perfect. i can't describe how perfect it is. i adore it sosoosososososososoosososoo much
i also can... oddly relate to tommy in this fic, more than i thought. my mom didn't have mental health issues but I did have to take care of myself more than I was supposed to when I was younger, and there were a lot of parallels in this fic even though the situations were completely different, that it just... hit a lot harder for me than most fics normally do. especially like... i have a half sibling that i have a super complicated relationship with and crimeboys in this fic almost reminded me of it.
i just :(( honey and tangerines is so so important to me, and it's also just beautifully written, content aside. i love the prose in it. the way you describe everything feels so natural and real. i felt truly immersed. i lose sense of what's around me a lot quicker than i normally do when i read fics. it just instantly grabs my attention.
god, it's written so fucking well.
another way it's affected my life is after i read the laundromat chapter, it gave me the courage to ask my bf to dance w me for the first time. as i've always loved dancing but i've always been super shy about it. but reading that scene just filled me with such joy, that i had to ask my bf, and now it's one of our fav things to do :))
idk man like. wf is the fic that first made me obsessed with your writing. stars is one of the most well written and impressive things i've ever read and heyyy sandduo centric babyyy. also the WORLD BUILDING IS SO COOL. what the water gave me is the fic out of all of ur fics that makes me the most emotional /pos. a dusty tomb is my personal fav comfort fic, it's so fucking cute i love it so much (and the clinic prequel is same vibes as well). ur vamp fics are addicting as hell to read.
but honey and tangerines is the fic that's affected my life the most <3
(god sorry for the long rant, this was not meant to be this long LMAO SFDKAJ)
honey and tangerines was such an interesting fic for me to write because it connected to my irl life in so many subtle ways. I put those nods into my life in a lot of my fics, but honey and tangerines was the one most directly based out of my own life although it was mostly just the concept of having ex step-siblings that I pulled from. I also thought the main conflict was going to be crimeboys going into it, although I knew I wanted a focus on angelduo as well. but then as the story progressed I understood tangerines!tommy a lot more as a character, and his relationship with phil just expanded into so much more. I'm so happy with how it all turned out, and I'm sorry for all the tears I made you shed lol
(this response got long oops so I'm gonna put it under a cut)
you totally get my love of coming of age/slice of life indie movies. I've always been a big movie watcher, and nothing hits quite like a really well done coming of age film. ironically though, the perks of being a wallflower was one I originally wasn't a movie I was very impressed with the first time I saw it. it wasn't until I read the book and then rewatched the movie years later that I was like oh. I think for me two coming of age indie-type films that really hit for me were Lady Bird (because the relationship between Lady Bird and her mom hit very close to home in certain spots for me), and this one called Cha Cha Real Smooth. Cha Cha especially hit for me bc it's about a 22 year old who just graduated college and is trying to figure out where to go now, and I watched it only a few months after I'd turned 22 and graduated college and was floundering for what to do next. so yeah, that one helped me in the same way you described with the whole "maybe my life will work out like theirs" sense.
I'm so glad I was able to capture those vibes in the aesthetics of it all. that was half my motivation for writing it ngl. I just really wanted to try and capture that summertime haze with the descriptions and the playlist and all of it.
I'm sorry you could relate to aspects like those in the fic, but I'm also really glad it was able to provide a source of comfort for you <3
that's so sweet that you asked your bf to dance with you after reading the laundromat scene!! and the skateboarding too is so cute. I'm gonna be honest I do not know how to skateboard nor have I ever had a desire to learn, I just liked the aesthetics of that scene lmao. I hope you've been having a really good time dancing and skateboarding with your bf since though :)
icyfox aaa you're so kind though seriously thank you for all of that. one of my favorite parts about having this 'audience' (for fanfic lmao but it's an audience nonetheless) is hearing how the stories I create for my own joy impact your real lives. like, it's just amazing to me the reach my words can have, and I'm so happy you were able to get so much out of this story. ty for this it made me smile a lot

Headcanon #5 - Pirates!
While there have been a few crews of pirates in Neverland, there have been very few Neverland Pirates; one of the only known real Neverland Pirates being James Hook.
He was actually born in Neverland, although he grew up in the Human Realm. His mother was a Pirate who managed to find Neverland and made truces with some of the other groups of citizens.
James grew up hearing stories of Neverland from his mother but believed them to be just that, as she had retired pirating by the time he went to school.
The other pirates get along fine in Neverland and even enjoy it there but, other than James, it doesn't feel like home to them. James finds the island welcoming and, even though he hadn't been there before, it felt familiar to him.
Although he never manages to recreate his mother's truces quite as well due to his past transgressions (and continued transgressions) towards the others, he does manage to become somewhat friendly with them and gain some level of trust – to the point that he can trade with them and is even welcomed on some occasions.​
James has an innate understanding of how Neverland works, although he doesn't want to accept it sometimes. He finds it entirely reasonable that attempted murder is fine but betrayal is a major insult; which makes what he did to Zarina so bad.  ​The other pirates don't really feel this way but they're pirates so they don't mind attempted murder either way. ​

I have 2 brain cells and both of them are focused on Rock Band AU in modern setting with Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara!!
Gaara with deep black ring make up around his eyes. Lead singer even though he’s a little guy (he has a lot of pent up rage and I think screaming lyrics to heavy metal could be good for him <3 )
Kankuro wearing all black with purple face paint. He’s already THE alt icon. I love him. He def has piercings. He is the drummer, because he is not given as much attention as his other siblings in canon so it could be kind of a parallel and also drummers are hot and I make the rules around here.
Temari!! My queen!!!! Temari definitely had a phase where she wore super exaggerated black and white makeup and she looked absolutely terrifying (and gorgeous) doing it. She is a guitar player!! I don’t know enough about guitars to say what kind but she is wonderful and I just know she could be amazing at it if she wanted to. She shreds like a pro. Because she’s the best. She also does backup vocals for the band.
Their father was their manager and then he got cancelled or smth or idk but Baki became their new manager because I said so. And the little monster sealed inside of Gaara in the anime? It is now his feral cat. Everyone hates it. Gaara included. It’s okay. The cat eventually learns to love Gaara. Their fans love the little hellion too.
As for ships I also have Thoughts about other bands in the Band AU!!!!!!!!!
InoShikaCho is something. I’m not sure. Ino is the lead vocalist. She has like pop music vibes but Choji and Shikamaru don’t so maybe they make just really Good generic music? Stuff that’s always on the radios. I don’t know. Shikamaru does not sing, thank you very much. He could rap if he wanted to though.
You already know that Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke could be super complicated as a band because they Did Not get along as genin. Whatever. They aren’t my problem. I’m ignoring them. But they’re really good and Gaara definitely had a crush on Naruto at some point.
Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee are an interesting trio to think about. Tenten raps for sure, because she’s pretty and I think she could be a badass rapper. Neji is the leader of their band and he writes their music too. Main vocalist vibes. Tenten also helps write music and can play like any instrument ever. Rock Lee is for sure tearing it up with swag dance moves. Gai, their manager, is definitely big on choreography. They’re more of a mainstream rap or hip hop group, but I think they have a background in other music genres.
Oh jeez. My personal favorite, Team 8!! Kiba’s everything.. Hinata with her shy demeanor.. Shino’s literal trench coat that covers him from head to toe. I don’t know. I love them all to death but they’re weird and forgettable to everyone but me it feels like. They’re alt, maybe an indie band? Or maybe not? I don’t know I think Shino plays guitar for them. Kiba is on drums maybe? Or maybe he is also on guitar. Maybe Shino plays drums? They’re hard. But imagine Kiba smugly going at with some killer vocals and making eye contact with an unimpressed Kankuro in the crowd. Battle of the bands babyyy. Hinata had a pretty voice but she is super shy about singing which leads to confidence issues because Hanabi has no problem singing in front of large crowds. So Hinata doesn’t sing but she eventually does after pursuing a solo career when their band naturally disbands because they have different paths in life they want to follow. Shino becomes a teacher lmao. Anyways I’ve decided Kiba with lead vocals. Everything else is not worth my time. What other teams are there again? It’s not like anyone cares enough to read this anyways. It’s mostly for me. Wait I think I got all of the rookie 12. Did I? OH MY GOD I ALMODT FORGOT AKAMARU I’m so sorry. Yeah Akamaru is Kiba’s dog and he goes on tour with them.
Nobody else is important to me. I mean I guess I could do some side characters.
The Sannin were a super popular band back in the day, with Jiraiya on lead vocals and the other two as backup vocals. Orochimaru was a master of guitar and any stringed instrument really. Tsunade SLAYED on drums. OH IDEA. Sakura plays drums and Sasuke is on guitar with Naruto on main vocals! But anyways the sannin have a major break up after Jiraiya decides to leave the band right after one of their biggest tours like ever, effectively cutting off the other two’s career in a band. Kaito Dan, a stage tech who is also Tsunade’s fiancé, dies in a car accident with Tsuande on the way to one of her gigs. She is too traumatized to ever sing or play on stage again. She runs off to get drunk and gamble. Orochimaru gets in good with Danzo before eventually getting cancelled (and being forced to take the blame for Danzo) when it is found he is mistreating the new talent in attempts to make a perfect singer to make them money or something I don’t know. He runs off and does small gigs but mostly pursues higher education and getting a ridiculous amount of degrees. He has the money so he just keeps getting them. I don’t know it’s funny to me. He takes on an apprentice named Kabuto and then another named Kimimaro. Is that how u spell that? Idk.
Uhmmm Minato was a really good singer but he and his fiancé died young, and while Minato had been briefly introduced to stardom it all ended when he and his fiancé died. Kushina died in labor and Minato literally died on the way home from the hospital. Super sad. Also Minato had been mentoring some kids, Kakashi and Rin and Obito. Uhm I choose for Obito to get an injury and like. Retire super early. Rin tries to make things work and then dies. I don’t know. Kakashi is traumatized but makes a successful life for himself. He becomes manager for Naruto and the other two. He also mentored Yamato and Yamato mentored Sai.
This is getting too long I’m so sorry.

good evening! back at it again with my silly silly stupid ships </3 Vaati and Link?
Tumblr media
HDFHJGHKFDKHJGFDHJKGJKFD YEAHEAHHHHH!!!! WOOOO THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BABYYY!! THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
Right, so unfortunately I can't talk about this from an ingame perspective(Minish Cap, Four Swords), as much as I've been meaning to (😔), so I'll have to go off vibes alone.
Link's baby? Adorable bittersweet begruding older-sibling!Vaati slowly realising the weight of his actions and going "..oh... oh fuck...!"-- As well as the little parallels of them both being Ezlo's students, in a sense? Blessed be, bittersweet, enemies to family. Incredible, would kiss on the head, 11/10.
They're on equal footing, and this is later down the road? Oh yeah buckos, let's get funkyyy!!!
Okay, so I am, far more fond of fucked-up kidnapping villains than I should be, but that's the price you pay for Sexie™ okay sweaty??? Yeah-- God, there'd be like this knight-sorcerer/dragon dynamic going on, with lots of insufferable gloating and a sense of time running out, and perhaps even a fond, "You're lovely, really, now that I think about it-- Maybe I should take you, too," hghfgjhkdfjhk because wHAT'S THE POINT OF villainous enemies-to-lovers(?) if there aren't any worrisome affectionate threats??? Yeaheah, I thought so.
Again, I wish I could add more from a game-plot perspective(you know how much I love that shit 😩😔), but yeah, that's what I have.
Basically, looks sick as shit from an aesthetic perspective, would love to see where this goes!
(also I am SO sorry for taking forever to answer thsi onefhfgjhjfkdhgkjghfd)

Agents of Shield S4E1: The Ghost
A.k.a. the one that started it all
(Prepare for obscene amounts of rambling about irrelevant faves and lots of (hopefully) self-deprecating humour) 
One thing I really need to try to make sense of in this rewatch is how the gangs got hold of the box from Momentum Lab in the first place. I guess it was vaguely implied that Eli told them about it but ... why? 
I was under the impression that he thought he’d killed his co-workers so I don’t ... think?? he’d know their ghosts/spirits/incorporeal forms were still in the boxes? But if so, why did he describe the contents of the boxes as ‘weapons?’ 
Why would he even want to risk them getting out and coming back for revenge on him? Did it never occur to him that they’d be pissed?
Did he intend for Lucy’s box to be the one that got picked up, or was that just a result of her being the last one to get ghost-ed so her box was closest to the door or something? 
He couldn’t possibly have orchestrated the whole string of events that got him broken out of jail, could he? I mean I know he’s incredibly smart but that’s the thing, there are just too many things that could have gone wrong for someone as intelligent as Eli to bank on such a flimsy plan? Like it relies on the assumption that 1) the ‘ghosts’ are even still alive/in any sentient state, 2) that they’ll decide they need the Darkhold, 3) that they’ll be able to find it, 3) that they won’t be able to read it, 4) that they’ll choose him of all people to read it for them? I mean it’s the definition of Gambit Roulette and I’m just ... not buying it without futher evidence
Damn, this is one hell (eh?) of an entrance for Ghost Rider
Didn’t he rip one of those guys’ spines out through their ... rear end?
Oh man the blood splatter. I forgot Robbie’s early killings were so graphic because most of the time he’s just burning ghosts.
“She was a ghost” - I love how the titular ‘Ghost’ is so ambiguous - it could refer to Daisy, always a ‘ghost’ slipping through Shield’s fingers; to Robbie, the Ghost Rider; and to Lucy, the closest one to a literal ghost.
I kind of have no clue what Daisy’s criminal activity was all about b/c I missed the last episode of S3, but I’ll take the show’s word for it that she wasn’t doing anything all that bad (just trying to stop Watchdogs).
Literal first episode of the season: “They say when the Rider burns you, he burns your soul. And a soul can never heal.” My dumb self, wanting my shitty fave to have some semblance of (admittedly undeserved) peace in the afterlife:
Tumblr media
Oh I’d completely forgotten that FitzSimmons were already working on virtual realty at the beginning ... setting up the Framework from the first ep and I didn’t even know it.
FUCK they even namedrop the Framework? In connection with Radcliffe? And here I was thinking they didn’t even introduce it until episode 10 or something.
FITZ BABYYY don’t talk about the Framework so innocently :(
Aww the team coming (almost) all together ... before they’re all so painfully ripped apart later on
I know Mace is kinda painted as being in the wrong for implementing lie detector tests and being overly paranoid and stuff, but, like, Shield did just get back on its feet after being crippled and nearly destroyed by a secret terrorist cult which it had unknowingly harboured within its own ranks for half a century, so ... yeah #Macedeservedbetter
Aww it’s nice how Daisy leaves behind money for the homeowners
YES a mention of the Lucy box
OH GOD it’s AIDA ... I don’t even have words honestly
I want to say “report her right away!” but she’s just an innocent being (?) at this point, so would it be right? 
Mallory Jansen does such a good job though, she’s so robotic and artificial here and she becomes so real as AIDA becomes more human throughout the series
It’s kind of sweet that Radcliffe just invites Fitz and the gang over to his house to watch soccer though
Love Yo-Yo giving Daisy the medicine
Man it’s weird thinking of Robbie as a ‘serial killer’ and a bad guy, as the team sees him at this point ... I had like one episode of genuinely thinking he was a villain and then the second I saw him with Gabe at the end I was like, oh okay, he’s this kind of character, I get where this is going. 
(Keep in mind that I had 0 prior knowledge of who Ghost Rider is or even that he’s a Marvel character)
Aaaand now I see the bloody bodies in the back of the truck and am reminded that Lucy is not, in fact, a good person.
(Though to be fair since that was the first time she’d ever used her powers it was probably an accident ... she probably panicked and tried to push past those guys not knowing it would kill them. Everything after that, though, is on her hands.)
I like Simmons standing up for herself and speaking back to May. It’s good to see her able to put her foot down and justify her decisions. And I like how May is subtly impressed by it.
“In the wrong hands, [AIDA] could be used as a weapon, is that the intention” “No, no, not at all! Look, I know the dangers-” *insert stock photo of people laughing*
AIDA asking Fitz about Jemma is so creepy now...
Nice to hear Lincoln, Trip and Andrew mentioned
Hngnggnhng Radcliffe and AIDA were so well-intentioned at fiiiiiiiirst :(
Ohhhh I think she’s coming sooooooooon~
YES they’re bringing out the box
I can’’t breathe
“I’ve been told [the weapon is] powerful enough to bring our new enhanced enemies to their knees” - man I remember hearing this line and having NO IDEA it referred to a character rather than an object, let alone one I would pledge my life to
Also ... this means that Eli must have known what was in the box, but even if he did know that his co-workers were ghost-ed rather than killed, why would he know they’re dangerous? A disembodied spirit, in and of itself, wouldn’t be harmful... Or was he just bullshitting?
All right here we go
Oh okay I guess we’ve got a Robbie/Daisy scene (who cares about the two most important and interesting characters of the arc when you can obsess over a minor antagonist with barely any screen time amirite?)
YES HERE 
WE 
GO

Has there ever been an entrance more ~iconique~ (TM) than Lucy materializing out of nowhere, hissing warning words in a gangster’s ear and immediately fucking everyone’s shit up (answer: yes)
GOD I remember seeing her for the first time and thinking, like, wtf is that? For some reason I thought there were multiple lady ghosts too before realizing there was just one. I just remember having this feeling like, whoa, this is a whole new playing field here, this is weird, what the hell is this?
I mean I do feel a bit bad for the guy, though ... Lucy’s powers, while cool, really are horrible to their victims.
For the love of GOD stop pausing and freezing, dumb video, I just need to watch like the last 6 minutes
OH and there goes Lucy through May ... I don’t have anything good to say about that, it’s just straight-up cruel and unnecessary on Lucy’s part
“[You killed] a teacher.” “A pedophile.” That’s the first moment where I had that little “oh” awakening about Robbie, like “well, maybe he isn’t such a bad guy.” I still remember that dawning realization.
I’ll always like Robbie/the Ghost Rider sparing Daisy there, even though she thinks she deserves to die due to her guilt - he can tell she’s not a bad person, despite what Hive forced her to do.
I kind of wish there’d been a parallel situation at the end of the season though with Fitz and GR, I think that’d have been a nice, clever book-end, and also given Fitz fans (myself included) some more closure. Plus, possible bonding moment for Daisy and Fitz.
Aww FS sharing a bed??? I forgot that part.
Half these Robbie scenes I recognize intimately from the zillions of AMVs I’ve watched of him in the past 10 months
Aww and here he is with Gabe ... that was the moment I Knew, in my heart, that he wasn’t a bad guy.
Honestly “Everyone gets attached to something” is such a fitting tagline for this episode both for actual relevant reasons and the personal fact that I found my new fave here
Oohhhhh the Coulson zombie face .... D: Lucy whyyy do you do this
May’s honestly really resilient; everybody else who gets infected starts having visions within seconds, whereas for her it takes presumably hours to get the first one, and she holds out for like a day or so (I think) before she goes completely homicidal. I chalk it up to her years of Shield training and mental self-control. 
Anyway that’s all for the first episode! I don’t honestly expect anyone to read these but if you did, I hope you enjoyed/weren’t too irritated by my ramblings. 
Meet the New Boss (one of my fave episodes on a purely self-indulgent level) is next week!!!!!

16: do you believe in past lives? if so, who do you think you once were?
I kinda do? It’d be interesting to see how they work like if something you couldn’t bear doing now is something that traumatized you in the past life OR if you’re able to bear certain situations because you already went through them.
01: have you ever had sleep paralysis?
Yes, twice! Worst experience of my life! I thought I was dying.
04: do you believe the theory that dreams are parallel worlds we visit while we sleep?
Oh hell yeah, it’s absurd dreaming the same guy for more than 3 years and not believing that in a parallel world i am having the best life. Can’t wait to visit that life. Oh damn maybe I’m in the Mr. Robot world. I have read about the finale and know something about it
15: what was the scariest moment of your life?
Sleep paralysis babyyy ahah but also every time I felt an earthquake. I can’t even imagine the people who got their houses destroyed. Feeling the earth move is extremely terrifying already.
02: if you were to look behind you now, what would you see?
The wall!
// thank you so much for the questions! Feel free to send more numbers or general asks!
