Hi love,
Thanks for asking this so obviously this pertains to the S bros so thatās where Iām sticking w this. Not including Kino bc heās not really involved in this whole S bride thing anyway.

Rules
āÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆāÆ
Who is capable of falling in love with their S bride? (MTL) + how much they value their S bride?
SubaruāHeās very vulnerable and heās with this woman 24/7 and if sheās nice to him/gives him attention heās roped in. But would never admit it. It might just be puppy love even but heād end up liking her weather or not he does anything about it.
Value: heād value her if she was tolerable and likable in the sense that she didnāt bother him. If she was gentle Heād especially value that. On a scale of 1-10 itās have to be a 6.
Reijiāthis may come as a shock because he is very head strong and a perfectionist but he his capable and we see this in the game routes numerous times. Even if Reiji has a different way of expressing his care or love, when he loves he treats his partner very well. And it takes a while for him to gain feelings but itās through all the trouble and pain that heās caused you but itās mostly through getting to know you emotionally that he is able to love. But feels quiet guilty.
Value: 8 or 9/10, if you bare his kids, your a respectable lady and you got it all down heās appreciative that youāve brought his kids into the world but what doesnāt give you 10/10 is that heād doesnāt value nor care for you as a partner. He may see you as his wife and mother of his child but not as a romantic partner. If you donāt have redeeming qualities you are just worthless to him. 3/10 or lower.
Shuāgosh, he seems like he could but also might not. Either way heās lazy about it. In the game routes he is seen to fall in love sometimes but I think itās quiet dry. Thereās not much to it and he doesnāt seem all that into it. Heās just there and itās comfortable to him. I would say itās a practical convient love not a deep love unlike Reiji.
Value: 5/10 not too bad because itās free s3x. He is annoyed but also amused at the same time. Not interested to know much and doesnāt know half of what you do bc heās doesnāt care. If you donāt bug him often you get the 5/10 you wonāt get more because he wants little do with you and since your not annoying thereās a flip side to it.
Kanatoāhe loves women, and that can mean many different things. But as deranged he may be he isnāt as complicated as his other two brothers, well may be just as complicatedābut differently! Though if itās about love this changed his behavior and he may drop the psychotic behavior altogether especially if there was character development but itās hard to say. But he seems like heād have feelings even if they are not the healthiest, heās more capable of loving and liking than the other two.
Value: you could have 0/10 where heās just going to m*rder you. Or you could have 11/10 were he is opposed and will not give you to others and protects you at all costs. There is no inbetween.
Laitoāheās to damaged to be capable of understanding his feelings. So while he may feel something he canāt distinguish it nor how he feels about it. All he knows is that itās different and heās not going to go further than that. I also believe he has a lot of trust issues with women so loving one is just not practical needless to say heās a damn mess.
Value: 3/10 if not 0/10. You are like every other woman, why should you be different? Amuse him but also donāt get involved and he wonāt be mad, but it doesnāt mean he likes not trust you at all so 3/10. You are merely convenience.
Ayatoāhe doesnāt really love and I got to say if he did heās not sure what is going on. Heās quiet selfish and might confusion attraction and convince as love. In fact, he thinks that his S bride loves him so therefore he has a mutal feeling of love for her. Heās okay with having her love him but not that he loves her. Heās too narcissistic to fall in love.
Value: 3/10 or 7/10. 3 is your stubborn and boring to him and youāve given him nothing. 7 is you give him what he wants and are obedient for the most part.

which Disney villains do you think realistically would make the best romantic partners and which ones would be the worst? In your opinion, I would love to know!
Hmmm in my opinion?? š
Okay lemme see XD
I think they all have their pros and cons, of course, and it all really depends on what you're willing to put up with (Your girl trynna make a coat outta puppies? Your man having rage issues? Bugs??) but these are the best (By Disney Villain standards at least! š
I don't really think any of these relationships would be truly healthy in real life)- and worst. Or at least my thoughts š
Best of the Worst:
Red font is like 'the best of the best of the worst'. Like, the ones that I genuinely think would be pretty okay and are the safest bets.
Alameda Slim- So long as you met him in a typical forum (Maybe in town grocery shopping, or mailing a letter), I feel like he would keep his cattle rustlin' business separate from his married life completely and treat you sweet <3 I don't think he gets angry in his regular life, just when it comes to his Crime Counterpart. Honestly, I don't think he'd ever even tell you about the, uh, hobby.
Captain Hook- He would be constantly struggling between 1. Being a good Husband, and 2. Being a good Pirate. And these things do not really cooperate with each other š
But hey at least he's trying!! And by villain standards I think that's pretty good XD
Dr Facilier- You know he would treat his partner with the deepest respect and always be charming. Of course, he's also full of bitterness and an ache for revenge, and messes around with things that should not be messed with, and that can all effect you- but just... just try to stay away from him when he's in Villain Mode š
Hades- Its not there anymore but yearsss ago, on Hades' wiki page, it said that he is one of the few Disney Villains who is not clinically insane (Sure, he has serious rage issues- but he's not mad) and that has stuck with me. I think that garners him major points XD
Long John Silver!!!!!- Long John Silver long john Silver l o n g j o h n s i l v e r. Ha š
Similar to our shadow man, he is consumed by his own demons (Here they are greed and... mostly greed), but he would do his damn best to treat you well.
Queen Narissa: Okay so we don't know her very well and she DOES seem to be quite manipulative towards Nathanial... But listen she doesn't like him!! I'm sorry š
ā I think if she liked you then she would be capable of treating you a lot better.
Rourke: Sure, he's got a divorce against his name already- but next to huge misogynists, psychopaths and power-obsessed lunatics I think its a strike that can be overlooked š
Rourke is a villain who's villainy would be totally separate from his relationship. He may a bit distant sometimes but other then that he's just a regular hot old dude, to you. Unless you go on trips with him.
Shan Yu: I- I- I dunno why I have it in my head that Shan Yu would be such a good partner but I just do *hides*
Shere Khan: Another one who's able to keep his villainy/prejudices separate from his husband time ^^ <3 <3 Also takes your safety very very seriously.
Stabington Brothers: Like Hades I don't think they're crazy... just greedy (And maybe a lil economically struggling, which I get).
Worst of the Worst:
Here the red ones are the worst of the worst of the worst XD
Clayton: /:/: This one, I just... I mean, could YOU live him constantly talking himself up, and re-telling you stories of his conquests, and rarely listening to you?? Cuz that's what I envision when I see marrying Clayton. Also, you know, he's a bit smug & misogynistic.
Gaston: ... I don't really have to explain myself, do I? I for one do not wanna spend my evenings rubbing his stinky feet, that's for sure.
Frollo: š.
Jafar: Tell me this man wouldn't hypnotise you to get his way.
Mother Gothel: She would be so emotionally abusive and so manipulative. 0/10, do NOT reccomend-
Oogie Boogie: He would just be so physically and socially draining!! He is very high energy. You would need to be sporty and an extrovert to have a chance.
Percival C McLeach: Okay so this mainly because, as far as we know, McLeach has not been exposed to other people in a long while and he doesn't know how to treat them well (Nor does he seem to care). So being with him would mean some work, and I don't recommend being someone's bob the builder. Sure, Jane did it, but Percy is not Tarzan š
Queen of Hearts: Where Hades has a problem with anger but is sane... Red here has a problem with ager AND is insane. And that does not bode well...
Scar: Scar is one of the least stable in our line up... so as much as I like him, I do not like his chances at being a good husband.
Sykes:
Toon Patrol: It is in each of their names. They literally come with built in warning signs!! Greasy, Psycho, Smartass, Stupid, Wheezy. Some are definitely worse than others... but I wouldn't risk it with any of them š
(*cough* or maybe i would. what don't look at me)
Turbo / King Candy: If you marry him before King Candy then you're gonna lose the man you fell for, and if you fall for him afterwards then you're gonna eventually find out that he's a lie. Either way, seems ultimately unpleasant.
Some of them probably slipped my mind but these are my thoughts right now ^^ Let me know your own thoughts!
#XD the second i read your ask i was like#*looks at andreas deja villains* ... alright get in the basket#*basket is labelled 'worst'*#Disney Villains#thank you for the ask! XD this was fun

First of all, thank you all so much for the nice reblogs on the Claude Headcanons, post, second of all
āØšø Hannah and the Triplets Headcanons šøāØ
Hannah is the only Demon in the show I imagine as being very old and very powerful. She could kill Sebastian and Claude with both hands tied behind her back and it wouldnāt even be difficult for her. I also think she is a fallen Angel, unlike all the other Kuro Demons who I headcanon as humans who went to Hell
Conversely, the Triplets are all fairly young, only a couple of hundred years old, and especially individually they are fairly weak
I read on someoneās headcanons (possibly @eemoo1o-animoo) that they were one Demon broken into three, which I think is really cool, so I guess my other idea would be that they were a human soul that either as punishment or just be happenstance got broken into three
My personal headcanon is Demons canāt have kids, they just start existing, so the Triplets arenāt technically siblings, they just popped into existence in roughly the same region of Hell and have been together ever since.
Hannah saved their lives in Hell and they will now do pretty much whatever she says. They were also the first of instance of Hannah just being like āIām your mum now deal with itā (Iām electing to ignore all the weird shit about Hannahās boobs - remember, Marie Kondo approach to canon)
She didnāt realise that what she felt for Luka was maternal love, and not hunger for his soul, and she does feel sorrow that she killed him. She had mostly taken contracts with less than pleasant humans that she was always more than happy to dispatch, so sheād never really spent much time around children.
She both wants to protect Alois from Claude for Lukaās sake, and because she felt she lost her chance to raise a child in Luka and so she sought out Alois.
Sheād definitely try, but I honestly donāt know if Hannah would do a vastly better job than Claude. Other than anything else, since she barely talks to Alois, so she doesnāt really know him all that well, and he is a very different person to Luka
Also sheās approximately a bajillion years old so she definitely has 0 moral compass, even less of one than Claude or Sebastian.
The Triplets sometimes switch their partings around and pretend to be each other to fuck with Claude. Problem is, Claude doesnāt care which is which as long as things get done, so like, nobodyās winning
I think the Triplets do the ridiculous Cockney accents as a joke.
When they speak to others, they have to speak in turn. They will not speak individually. No one knows why.
Unlike sort of Claude and definitely Sebastian, Hannah has no issues reconciling her maternal feelings with her being a Demon. As previously mentioned, she is a bajillion years old and could probably kill people with her mind so she has absolutely nothing to prove. Also she has experienced all the murder and bloodshed one could ever hope to and maternal love is something relatively new to her.
Basically Hannah is mum and sheās a cool lady who can stab things and she is unfathomably old and powerful with no concept of puny human morals
Hannah is she/her and I think the Triplets are of the āwhatever pronouns make the joke landā persuasion.
The Triplets will obviously always side with Hannah, especially if it screws over Claude (Claude is a dick to them because he doesnāt want to deal with them and also he makes them do chores) but they really donāt have much in the way of personal stakes in the whole thing so theyāre kind of just vibing
The Triplets donāt like Alois, but in an annoying younger brother way. Plus he stabbed Hannahās eye out, so they have mild beef with him for that. Itās just as well because combined their forces of chaos would simply be too strong.
It would be cool if they were the Demons of threes, or trios. Since 3 is such a significant number, maybe it has a number, and maybe thatās why the human whose soul they were mad from was split?
Much like Claude, they do what Hannah tells them to but theyāre not especially house proud.
Sebastian Michaelis, who lives at the Phantomhive manor & cleans 10,000 floors each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Much like Claude, they just do not get why Sebastian puts so much effort in. Frankly, they think itās weird.
They definitely fuck about when no-oneās looking
Actually entranced by light switches.
Pretended to be repelled by crosses to Alois until Hannah told them to stop.
Tldr: the Trancy Manor is chaos as well
Might make more of these at some point, but rsi is hitting to so here we are. Hope you enjoyed

Yeah, I'm still doing this. Shocking, I know. Welcome to Season 2 of Episode 3 of Waku Puyo Translations.
(...I can't explain what happened here today.)
Hey, Gren here. It's been a bit and I took a break for Christmas and New Years to spend time with family...and as of currently writing this, it's snowing outside. But during that time, a teaser was thrown out for an actual translation team working on Waku Puyo Dungeon. Shocking, IK.
This is also late because imma be real with you...I didn't save this once and the entire thing was gone. Pain.
I'm happy about this, genuinely am, but it also sorta left me in a...moral dilemma. I'm glad it's being worked on, but should I even continue, despite it not going to be as good as the actual works? It's probably just a iffy feeling I'll experience for a week or two, but eh, we'll see.
With that, here's the video I'll be translating.

Timestamps:
Intro: (0:18)
Suke Boss (2:19, defeat at 4:25.)
Serilly Boss: (5:25, defeat at 9:00)
Apologies if this isn't up to par. Enjoy.
Intro: (0:18)
Scaly Lady: (Mermaid Girl/Woman/Lady also work here honestly.
Kyaaa~
Arle:
Woah there! What's the matter with you?
Scaly Lady:
You're here to bully me, aren't you? Please, please don't bully me...
Please - Don't - Do - It ~ (...Whar)
Arle:
Err...
Scaly Lady:
Everyone always bullies me since I look like some sort of fish...
Arle:
(I really dunno what to say here, maybe we should head back...)
[Somehow Suke enters the scene]
Suketoudara:
Whew! Hey, I'm right here you know!
Scaly Lady:
Eek! You're here to bully me too!
Suketoudara:
What- no! That ain't it at all! I'm Suketoudara!
Scaly Lady:
... ... ...
Arle:
Umm... I don't think she really knows you, ya know?
Suke:
Gaah! (Appropriate response.)
Scaly Lady:
Ah...
Suketoudara:
That's awful, Serilly!
Arle:
(Aha, so her name's Serilly...)
Serilly:
Wait, hold on! How do you know my name? (I assume it's to Suke.)
Arle:
Eh? They both went in...
There's no one here now. Maybe I can enter too?
Carbuncle:
Gu!

Suke Boss: (2:19)
Arle:
Wait, you're-
Suketoudara:
Wait, you're...that gal from the entrance!
Arle:
Yeah, I'm Arle. Nice to meet ya.
Suke:
And I'm Suketoudara! (He starts to dance, and honestly? It's either Sha or Cha IMO for Onomatopoeias.)
Arle:
W-Wha? What's with the dancing? It's so odd, please stop!
Suke:
Hey, what the!? You insulted my dancing!
I won't forgive anyone who does that!
Arle:
I'm being honest though! Look, if you really wanted a fight, you could've asked for one!
----
Suke Defeat: (4:25)
Suketoudara:
Oh no, Serilly will forget about me now...
It's just not my day today! Feeesh! (...I hate translating this guy.)
Arle:
I told you to stop with that odd dance!
Suke:
It's like no one here understands my sadness...
Arle:
(...Nothing I do seems to help.
There's plenty of people[?] who won't listen to others...it's an issue.)
Suketoudara:
Serilly...you're so kind, yet you forgot about me...
Arle:
...I don't really get it but alright.
Carbuncle:
Gugu?
-----
Serilly Boss: (5:25)
Serilly:
Even all the way here...you still want to bully me?
Arle:
That's not it! I'm here to play and enjoy my day...
Serilly:
What in the world did I do?
Arle:
... ... ...
Serilly:
Please, just leave me alone!
Arle:
Hey! What did I do to you!?
Every time you interact with me or anyone else you tell them to go away, or they they'll bully you!
Serilly:
It's because it's true!
Arle:
You're driving me to my wits end! Are you going to fight or not?
Serilly:
Hey, even I get mad sometimes!
-----
Serilly Defeat: (9:00)
Suketoudara:
Hey, wait for me!
Arle:
Oh, you're...
Suketoudara:
I've had enough of this. Give her a minute.
She didn't mean any harm either. (...And then he Cha and Sha dances again..)
Serilly:
So, you're here to bully me also?
Suketoudara:
S-Serilly...you know that's not true...
Serilly:
You and everyone here, you're all here to bully me, aren't you!?
Arle:
What you're saying right now is worse than anything you've said so far!
I'm upset also, yet Suketoudara still wants to be your friend!
Serilly:
Wait...? My friend...?
Arle:
...if you keep pushing everyone away from you, then no one will want to become your friend!
Serilly:
... ... ...
Arle:
(Sounds like I was preaching. Are you going to cry from that?)
Serilly:
Um...do you hate me?
Arle:
Eh? No, not really, but...
Serilly:
Uh...I'm sorry...
[And she leaves.]
Suketoudara:
Hey, wait for me Serilly!
Arle:
Go after her! Be a good friend for her!
Suke:
Gya Gyaa! I'm out then!
[He leaves.]
Arle:
...She's a nice girl, but I feel like it'll be hard for you to be friends with her...
Carbuncle:
Gugu?
-----
And that is IT. Expect delays and sort now because school is getting significantly more challenging + midterms, but with that, that'll be all.
Adios.

wait actually now I want 2 know. what does gemini moon + aries rising mean w virgo sun ā¦ i think i have a libra venus ā¦ astrology is an enigma to me i envy ur brain sm ur so cool :0
oh i like this combo. a heavy air influence usually makes for a fairly slow to anger person, pretty easy going and sociable although i think virgo probably really grounds you and makes you not breezy or unaffected as air signs can come across.
so the basic functions of each of these placements bc idk how familiar you are with them. moon - internal thoughts/emotions/deep desires, sun - your mission statement in life, rising - how others perceive you, venus - the way you love and like to be loved
so virgo sun is a favored placement of mine. i feel that they are very much misunderstood in the sense that their stereotypes tend to be really negative for no reason. virgos feel like home. they are steady, consistent, and involved. they are wonderful friends and partners but they tend to be a little anxiously dispositioned and because of this can sort of invent issues within themselves that are the reasons things aren't the way they want them to be. there's a touch of self sabotage in virgo particularly because there are a lot of internal boxes they tend to force themselves to check.
tbh though, i find virgo suns tend to not have as much of that self sabotage gene as say a virgo moon/venus. they're able to present themselves to the world as put together, reliable, intelligent, grounded, very very level headed and i think that keeps the tendency to pick at oneself in check.
gemini moon probably does make your virgo sun a little nervous at times. gemini doesn't like hard and fast decisions and it doesn't like to truly commit to anything because that keeps you from knowing everything. how this can look when dealing with internal emotions is thinking things over, not being able to come to a decision, saying fuck it whatever and moving on which is valid but virgo sun likely has some issues with this. virgos are deep thinkers and i think if you have ever found yourself anxious or really questioning your decision making ability, this could be where the disconnect is coming from. this is not a fundamental issue it can be worked through but you have to find a way to strike a balance between that noncommittal approach to your emotions ("maybe i'll change my mind later") and virgo's need to have things writ in blood ("this is how i've felt about an issue my entire life").
aries is an action placement and there might be a bit of friction between sun and moon here again because so is virgo but virgo likes to think and plan before they move. aries will have you jumping up before you've even fully processed a situation. you likely come off as interesting, witty, involved, maybe someone who is the "yeah fuck that!" voice in the crowd when your friend is mad at something. let the doer energy carry you but remind virgo that she doesn't always have to be in charge for things to work out.
libra venus - a lover girl placement that can sometimes cause trouble. as a fellow air venus all that we really want in life is to be chased, courted, flirted with, etc. forever. of course the peak of this experience is finding someone who will do this for you forever but if you don't find that person, you may tend to want to look at your options. air venuses are common for having open relationships or other unconventional relationships for this reason although i will say this extends less to libra than it does the other air signs. you are likely a really affectionate person and very giving to your partner. super complimentary, lavishing them with words of affirmation and praise, and as long as you're getting that back you're set.

For dating game: Donna Noble for a non Mash option from something I'm pretty sure I've seen you reblog stuff from, BJ, and Klinger
I can't believe I got 2 Donnas for this game and neither were the MASH one haha. And yes I AM a Doctor Who fan but like with Twin Peaks I'm only a shallow fake one because I only feel really passionate about RTD era :( sowwy again. I'm 0 for 2 today. But at least I didn't skip MASH s1-3 AND I didn't skip the 9th Doctor AND I read Laura's diary + Dale Cooper's tapes. So now everyone has to give me a little headpat and forgive me and say they're not mad at me thank you <3
Donna Noble
I couldnāt handle Donna QwQ I couldnāt match her energy itās very sad :( I feel like I would do the exact opposite of what the Doctor did for her in terms of bringing out her most amazing qualities. And I do really try to highlight and praise the qualities of people in my life!! I just donāt know if I could help her reach her full potential. Which sounds like one of those weird therapy-talk approaches to relationships but unfortunately sometimes when you really admire someone you actually do start thinking about things likeĀ āam I supporting her journey effectivelyā and all that. But this is just a date right so it can just be a casual thing. I feel like Donna is someone with whom I could straight up be like Hey so I was never socialized properly and your last relationship ended comically terribly so do you want to like try practicing dating with each other? I think it could be fun! And then eventually she could move on to find happiness with Mr. Temple :)Ā Ā
Wait actually sorry quick tangent if Donna doesnāt remember the Doctor what does she think happened to her fiance from way back when. Does she. Does she remember the giant alien spider or. Hang on--
BJ Hunnicutt
BJ Hunnicutt is the human equivalent of Disneyland. Everybody in the entire nation is absolutely obsessively feral over it itās sooo beautiful itās sooo fun you just HAVE to experience it itās a quintessential expression of the American dream blah blah blah. But I will never attend this overpriced (constantly borrowing money) and overcrowded (too much competition from the rest of Mashblr) theme park. I do not care for its fastpass system (willingness to cheat on his partner) or its uninspiring coaster design (anger issues), and I am further offended to hear of the constant introduction of cost-cutting measures that harm visitor experience (growth of mustache). Not even the prospect of purchasing a fully functioning Cogsworth clock (chance to join the Punnihawk polycule) is enough to tempt me. Itās not happening. I am going to Dollywood (Maxwell Klinger).
Maxie my beautiful girl Maxie whomst is so very adored by me
My wife my kitten my sweet snuggly wuggly good time gal. My Dollywood. Know that I love and adore Maxwell for eternity <3
BUT. I must love her from afar because I couldnāt in good conscience waste her time when I figure there must be a more compatible match out there, ya know? Like, I know hardly anything about baseball and I wear the same clothes every day and I donāt eat red meat so I canāt even share those beloved hotdogs. Max deserves the Best as Iām sure we all agree, and we know he wants a serious long term partnership. I want the same thing, so I know that such a lifelong, committed relationship should be with someone who finds themself more easily compatible with Maxās tastes and interests.Ā Ā
On an unrelated note, Charles sure seemed to get super into baseball in War For All Seasons, huh? :) And we know he cares a lot about his clothes, as we see him hiring a personal tailor at least once! :) And he was surprisingly eager to get to share in Maxās hotdog delivery in The Grim Reaper, too! :) So many random fun facts in this world \^w^/
#sorry 4 slipping in unwanted shipping content right under the wire like a youtuber rushing through a last minute plea to like and subscribe#I couldn't help it your honor :|#Asks that make you wrack your brains for 10 minutes straight only to give up and google what Donna's husband' first name is. It's Shaun.#I wonder if we'll see more of him in the New Content I am legit Excite wahoo#Starky loves answering questions#marley-manson#sorry for being so dismissive of BJ :/ it will happen again#also Idk if that joke made any sense. does anyone here still remember Vriska (Vriska).#mash#THE COGSWORTH CLOCK IS REAL BTW BUT IT'S $80 >:((( FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF I NEED TO STEAL HIM#HE BELONGS WITH ME!!!!!#also to be clear I've never been to disneyland obvs lmao I'm just a Jenny Nicholson / Defunctland enjoyer#I loooove watching stuff about the disney parks being bad and failing I know it's dumb and petty#but it's the only source of vengeance I get in this life#BTW did you know DOS purchased a house that used to belong to Walt Disney. idk if it was like on purpose or anything but he did#king shit I think. I hope he had crazy gay sex there. for petty reasons but also just cause he deserved that obviously.#The fact that literally anyone follows this blog and chooses to see these posts is a Bible level fucking miracle.#THANKS FOR THE ASK <3

Dramas I quit
I tend to quit watching things due to my own personal quirks that I don't think too hard about. Me not liking something does not equal a judgement against people who do like it.
Also, there are SO MANY other shows that I want to watch, that if I struggle with liking a show it doesn't seem worth it to keep going. I'm like that with all of my entertainment sources, honestly. I only have so many hours in the day to give to entertainment, I kinda hoard them for the stuff that grabs me.
Dropped After Watching More Than a Couple of Episodes
Alchemy of Souls (Korean)
IDK, when I heard the FL actress was being replaced for season 2 I kind of lost interest. What I heard later about s2 didnāt change my mind.
Ancient Detective (Chinese)
I only have a couple of episodes left, but I know itās not going to go the way I want it to (with the ML and his hot, derpy side-kick being each otherās most important person and going off together to have adventures and maybe eventually do that friends-to-lovers trope). So eh.
Angelās Last Mission: Love (Korean)
I just fast-forwarded to the whump scenes.
Bring it On, Ghost (Korean)
Ok Taecyeon does not do it for me. I donāt know why.
Bulgasal: Immortal Souls
I cared 0% about the love story, which was unfortunately at least 80%+ of the show.
Candy Color Paradox (Japanese)
This is one of my absolute favorite manga series, and a large part of the reason why has to do with one of the MLās tendency to do super awkward, dorky, sometimes cringey, but always endearing things. Itās a HAPPY manga, with such sweet romance, and the show has none of that. The quirky ML has been turned into a wet dishrag, and the romance is weird and flat.
Come and Hug Me (Korean)
My main issue was that the short episodes made it hard for me to get hooked. I might come back someday? IDK. Side note: How many serial killer fathers are there in Korea?? There are so many shows with serial killer fathers! Or at least murderer fathers. *side-eyes Korea*
Desire Catcher (Chinese)
This is a master class in āhow to completely waste the character with the ~special skill set.ā
The Golden Eyes (Chinese)
I got bored.
I Remember You [Hello, Monster] (Korean)
I was struggling because every time the meaty elements of the show ā the main characterās search for and relationship with his little brother ā started to get good, weād shift to the romance. I didnāt hate the romance ā before the younger-brother plot line really revved up I actually liked it a lot ā but it felt like a separate story, and the story I ultimately became invested in was NOT the romance. Then in episode 13? 12? SPOILER the ML leaves his little brother to be taken home from the hospital by the serial killer who kidnapped him years ago, so that the ML can go support his not-even-a-girlfriend despite the fact that she has a whole big support system already but little brother only has him and the serial killer? I got mad and rage quit.
K2 (Korean)
I love Ji Chang Wook, and I love the action, and I love the bizarre relationship between his character and the older FL. But the younger FL drives me up the wall. I couldnāt finish it. I tried just fast-forwarding to the JCW parts, but the younger FL became too ever-present.
Love in the Air (Thai)
Cute? Ish? But the acting and production quality were kind of terrible.
The Secret Romantic Guesthouse (Korean)
I tried for about four and a half episodes. Itās not bad, but there are just other shows I want to watch more.
The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty (Chinese)
I almost rage quit when the ML was left to wake up alone after being kidnapped and horribly injured because his friends were like āyou slept too long and we got hungry so we went out to eat.ā What. The hell. And then a couple of eps from the end the ML made a(nother) mistake and people where kind of assholes about it. And I had to stop. It made me sad.
Wu Lin Heroes (Chinese)
I just watched the whump scenes. The FL was annoying.
Dropped Almost Immediately
Are You Safe (Chinese)
So cheesy. Like. Basically a PSA from the government on how to be smart on the internet.
Being a Hero (Chinese)
It just didnāt grab me.
Blood (Korean)
Ehhhh. I may give it another shot later because I occasionally think to myself āI really want to watch something with vampires.ā
The Blue Whisper (Chinese)
The ML was weird and the FL was annoying.
Delivery Man (Korean)
Didnāt grab me, though I did check out the whump scenes. (Sorry, I like whump.)
The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim (Korean)
I think this is YA? But in a way that does not appeal to me.
Heartbeat (Korean)
Iām sorry, Ok Taecyeon.
Kangchi, The Beginning [Gu Family Book] (Korean)
I cannot with main characters being sold into prostitution.
Legend of Fei (Chinese)
Itās just...sort of terrible?
The Long Ballad (Chinese)
At this point Iām starting to think it might just be Dilraba Dilmurat who kills my interest, actually.
Love Between Fairy and Devil (Chinese)
The FLās voice physically hurt me to listen to. I know people love this show, and I did try to watch a couple of times, but holy crap. I can usually cope with the awful, soul-shriveling baby voices that cdramas frequently inflict on their FLs, but this one, together with her excessively twee characterization ā I just could not.
Love Like the Galaxy (Chinese)
The FLās life was so fucking depressing, I had to stop watching.
Miraculous Brothers (Korean)
It looked like they were going to go with the āfailed writer steals someone elseās novel and passes it off as his own, which eventually goes badly for himā and I cannot with that storyline.
Money Heist Korea: Joint Economic Area (Korean)
Got bored fast.
My Roommate is a Gumiho (Korean)
I cringed too much during episode 1.
The Scholar Who Walks the Night (Korean)
I mean, Lee Joon Gi was chewing scenery like a BAMF, but it felt too much like an old-timey Western horror flick when I expected it to be cool? IDK. Another one I might try again when in the mood for vampires.
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (Korean)
Too silly.
Vincenzo (Korean)
How does a man like Vincenzo do BAMF things in Italy and then go to Korea and immediately get suckered by a scam artist? IDK. Maybe Iāll try this one again someday.
W: Two Worlds (Korean)
Really, really intriguing concept and awesome visuals; but ācool guyā Kang Cheol was not the characterization I was expecting from his introduction. Eh. Another I might try again, but eh.

Malcolm and Marie live blog
I don't usually do liveblogs for movies but yea.
Spoilers ahead!!
I love that its modern timed but very 70s stylized.
A tune indeed.
When you are high and drunk on success and
How the white critic reacts is why I feel like gatekeeping my scripts. At the same time some things I do make are about race or involve.
Marie sitting on the patio smoking is a mood whenever men are talking.
So he's pretentious and unaware.
Whoever chose the music for this, I feel like we would be Spotify mutuals.
Can this nigga stop pacing.
Also can he stop talking;
Marie is so tired and unimpressed.
Also little booties matter and are to be bitten.
Oooo the tension and the jazz.
Title Card over mac and cheese.
Shitty boxes mac and cheese but still mac and cheese.
Tbh i always wonder if spouses/significant others get upset when their spouses don't acknowledge them during speeches.
John sounds so much like his dad but I really hope his acting style differs from his dad a lot.
Guilty confession?
He did not profit off of his partners backstory and then not even acknowledge her.....I.....
If that ever happened to me catch me cussing my partner out during the beginning credits, the end credits, in the car, and at home.
GASLIGHTER!
The way I'm excited for Zendaya to give me some, oooo can she work with Regina King. Please on my knees I pray.
Um no that's not your job to coddle your lead.
He's a dick and the type of dick who makes himself look like a good person around other people.
If Sam Levinson is trying to make his viewers more of misandrist, it's working.
I feel like Marie has her flaws probably a lot of them and we will surely see as this continues, but Malcolm needs to learn how to apologize sincerely.
70s vibes! 70s vibes!
Them kissing and talking about criticism and dreams makes me miss a partner. A partner that I've had and haven't had.
Women really are behind every great man.
Yea sir you fucked a happy moment.
Oh visual allegories for looking in from the outside and cat and mouse chasing and looking from the outside in.
She's saying she doesn't feel noticed by you.
Gas lighter :0 he called her an emotional support dog, bruh.
I would LOVE to co-write or take a writing class held by Sam Levinson. The fights i write are very much in this same realm of reflection and anger and monologue.
Sam.....sam.....are all the sides inside of you doing okay sir?
The ugly side of dating and being in a relationship with someone who struggles with their own demons.
Honestly I could close my eyes and listen to this script being read without seeing these characters visually. Just close my eyes and get a sense of these characters like it was a radio story.
Oh. Oh this is a new wheelhouse of Zendaya acting; a different voice is like breaking through here and her expressions aren't the same we are used to. You can literally hear another character in there....hmm.
Mans is outside really fighting with his invisible demons lmfao.
Selfish ass, how after everything she said you came out of it thinking about your own craft and self instead of how you hurt her.
So she's conditional.
Me: did sam (a white man) say nigga this many times in his script or are the actors adding their own inflections. Not just the lingo used but the topic of race and directing etc. being written by a white writer about black characters is always gonna be a critique when you're writer is a white person.
Alexa play Broken Girls by Saba
He is so hurtful.
A clown nigga a clown look in the fucking mirror you bozo head ass looking like you need some Mehron clown white and a size 16 in clown shoes.
John is doing a really swell performance and reading of these lines.
He is reading her for her insecurities by bringing up his experiences with other women and that.....is yikes.
Arguments can get messy like this in real life but it takes a lot of maturity and control to either not let it get to this point or have a healthy conversation afterwards.
This film is really shot on some very crisp lenses.
They sitting there like š¬š§āāļøš§āļæ½ļæ½ļø.
Leftover Mac and Cheese and unfinished cigarettes.
The nyt etc. pay walls are so annoying, but there is a work around look at the articles on incognito or add a period at the end of the url.
He sounds like his daddy so much here, weird, this is the only part I'm eh on the dialogue it feels real but a bit out of pace in how they are bouncing off one another.
Nail scissors? So the end is not the only part he based off of Marie. š
ITS A GOOD REVIEW YOU DINGUS but also its a full review they are going to critique things. She isn't wrong though he did profit off of a woman's story that was not his own to profit from.
Yes Malcolm because unfortunately all marginalized people look through a lens of life that is inherently political because of the world they live in.
He is so mad and upset and had a lot on his chest. But I think he Malcolm and Sam are talking about something thats an issue and a non issue. Being critiqued for you art is hard but also Malcolm is not super self aware. He's like a stand in figure of for example rich depop sellers who wanna be oppressed so badly they yell at others instead of examining their own personal behaviors and ethics.
Oh Marie, when you know the spark is gone and you pick fights because.
He ain't even ask her to read?
One critic I have for most of hollywood actors is they learn their cry and that is it. A change from this is Margot Robbie, I adore her fluctuations of crying being similar but the crying is carried differently for each character. If I had to say any actor that does a cry scene amazing its this woman right here (Amy Adams)
You stole her story from her and gave it away, she has a right to be upset and angry and a rubber band ball of emotions.
Citizen Kane, not the cinematography, but the story is it even that good? (Unpopular opinion but meh, maybe in my rewatch it will be better.)
But that is what people want authenticity and whatever authenticity means to them. What is real for one is false for another.
To be honest look at the criticism of Euphoria, well earned, but a lot of people were like this isn't real even though he literally wrote about his own life. People said it was inauthentic like....wtf.
Ahh the smoking is just a habit, he quit and she didn't.
CAST ZENDAYA IN A HORROR MOVIE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING. Get Lupita and Zendaya and some more black actors preferably less known ones in a horror movie. One with a interesting script and story, directed by Regina King. Please and thankyou.
I love Marie yep that was amazing.
Behind every great man is a greater woman, one that deserves her credit for how she has stood behind. I wonder the stories of those women, what they have sacrificed or not sacrificed. Their thoughts and feelings when the world is surrounding their partner and views them as a plus one. (I'd write a short script about this but I think do I have the time, can I, or am I equipped ?)
He is a shitty person for bringing up his exes, like she even said I don't wanna know any of that.
Imagine being on anti depressents and rarely having a sex drive and then when you do your partner starts talking about their exes and tearing you apart for all your faults.
I love when you see peaks of Zendaya's cadence in roles.
Tension, what if's and he didn't even bring her up in his speech.
Marie to herself and the audience:
He is not afraid that he will loose her but as my character says in my unreleased story, "i can't wait til you give me a fucking reason to leave your ass." Malcolm expects everything in order for not even doing the bare minimum and she is only asking him for something as simple as consideration. She just wants him to be considerate. He wants to get married and considers their relationship like rolling down a hill at full speed and he cannot apologize, he cannot be considerate, and he cannot admit his wrongs. He can only offer her I love yous that he probably does mean but he does not back up outside of what he's done for her in the past. The past which was more of her experience than his and he sees his part in it as a burden. He doesn't use his own vantage point of the past to further his career he uses her. He does all of these things without a real apology or thankyou because he is not afraid to loose her.
The restrictions of quarantine and the panorama have made Sam's writing very no frills. I wonder how other films from other directors and writers that are filmed in small contained crews like this will be structured. But this was a very good movie gonna add to my letter box 3.3-3.5
Oh shit this is my song,
Ratings/overall thoughts:
Script is like a C+, B- : I could go into my heavier big brain thoughts on the script but I don't feel like it. You catch hints of it above it centers conversation on race and privilege, mainly the writers and questions i have that won't be answered but Sam did make me grow disdain for Malcolm over a short time. Which is sometimes hard to do because im one sympathetic person but the sympathy i have for Malcolm is at 0. Maybe a 2 at some scenes but then it quickly goes back to 0. Some parts of the dialogue miss the mark or hit the are off balanced. While some of it like Malcolm's bathroom speech albeit mean is really strong or their conversation when he comes back from peeing really shines for me.
Performances: B+ to A- because they carried the script further than it could of gone with less talented actors. The monologues do well to showcase their current skill levels which are already high af and leave room for anticipation in where these actors go next.
Zendaya holding a knife: A+ with a gold star. That switch on and off and on is delectable.
John being a shitty boyfriend but following Marie like a lost puppy: B+ with a good job written at the bottom of the paper, Malcolm being nervous a frantic dialed up with more realistic nervousness would have sold me completely on Malcolm's anxious waiting.
Cinematography: A and a participation award.
The mac and cheese: A+ for the easy mac. Wish it was like Annie's or Velveeta.
Cigarettes: Participation award and their picture hung up for student of the month. Why the grill lighter? Everytime Malcolm opened up his mouth Marie was like sparks fly.
The music: A++ with a prize. Whoever picked the music probably makes good Spotify playlists.

CQL Characters Rated by Their Stress Levels
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 beingĀ āLan Wangji smiling at Wei Wuxianā and 10 beingĀ āLan Xichen at Guanyin Temple.ā
Lan Wangji: Varies wildly over the course of the series; see @howpeacefulislwj for detailed rundown. The roundup post averages his peacefulness at 4.2/10. Generally speaking, stress levels middling, between 3/10 and 5/10 with some extreme highs, pretty much all Wei Wuxian related.
Wei Wuxian: One of those people where youāre likeĀ āgod I hate him, everythingās so easy for him and he can do everything better than me, itās the worst, how the fuck does he do itā and then years later you find out that he had an epic burnout and dropped off the face of the earth for sixteen years because actually it wasnāt that easy he just made it look that way.Ā
I mean, he starts the series at about a 5/10 general state (heās managing a lot but handling it okay) and basically escalates to a relatively consistent 9 or 10/10 for most of the stretch from the Burial Mounds through to his dying. Someone should make a @howpeacefuliswwx chart, Iād be curious to see his average.
Jiang Cheng: Has been existing in a constant low-level state of stress since late childhood and only grows over time. The calmest I think we ever see him is when heās holding a bunny and other than that itās mostly downhill. I worry about him getting ulcers sometimes. 8/10.
Jiang Yanli: Jiang Yanli is so used to being stressed that she barely even registers it any more. What do you mean, most people donāt raise two other children when they are also a child? What do you mean, most people take breaks from supporting others to help themselves? Weird. If she was thinking about it sheād be at a 8 or 9/10 but since sheās so accustomed to this way of life that it just feels totally normal sheās more like a 4 or a 5.Ā
Jiang Fengmian: Avoids being more stressed by generally avoiding his problems, which is one way to deal with it but doesnāt really end up working out most of the time. 3/10.
Yu Ziyuan: Resides somewhere in the vicinity of 5/10 stress levels, 11/10 rage levels, and when the stress levels get above 5 then everyone elseās stress levels better be hitting the roof.
Lan Xichen: Lan Xichen would probably be relatively unstressed if life didnāt consistently come crashing through his relatively chill vibes. Lan Xichen on a good day is, like, 3/10, handling pretty well, but when things start going wrong around him then he pretty quickly hits critical stress levels and will do drastic things to resolve that, such as convincing Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao to set aside their near-murder differences and swear brotherhood, which will definitely work out absolutely fine.Ā Ends up averaging closer to 8/10 because things keep going wrong around him.
Lan Qiren: Heād be fine if his entire family didnāt insist on causing him problems, constantly. Handling it surprisingly well, all things considered. Still 6/10 though.
Nie Mingjue: I mean, does spend a large chunk of time steadily inching toward a qi deviation? That on its own is pretty stressful and also he just seems like generally a high blood pressure sort of person. But the qi deviation inducing saber is definitely not, like, helping. Putting him at a roughly 6 or 7/10 with a median level that just keeps inching slowly upward.
Nie Huaisang: Actually less stressed than youād expect given how flighty he seems to be! Even when plotting revenge is lessĀ āstressedā thanĀ ādetermined.ā Pretty good at keeping himself calm most of the time. Generally sits at a stress level of 4/10 or so with a few significant exceptions.
Jin Guangyao: Very stressed all of the time. He has a lot to be stressed about! Between the various complexes and the tendency toward paranoia, Jin Guangyao is definitely among the most stressed in a room at any given time, while doing his best to convey otherwise. But seriously, look at this smile. Does that look like the smile of a serene man to you? 10/10.
Jin Zixuan: You know those high-strung racehorses that sometimes get spooked by, like, a shadow on the ground? Thatās Jin Zixuan. Mostly manages to mask his constant low-levelĀ āAHHHHHā with a layer of arrogance and/or social awkwardness that looks like arrogance, but itās there, in the background. 7/10.
Jin Zixun: Shielded from the general Jin neuroses by being an asshole. Itās not fair, but there you are. 3/10 because he does seem to have some inferiority complex issues going on, but thatās not the same thing as stress.
Jin Guangshan: Deserves to be a lot more stressed than he is. Alas, is confident enough to not be terribly stressed. 2/10.
Mianmian:Ā So you know how cheetahs are very panicky animals and so they often in zoos get paired with dogs who will help them figure out that this situation is safe and they donāt need to panic? I feel like Mianmian is Jin Zixuanās stress meter in their friendship. She will let him know when to be stressed! Because she is not going to spook at her own shadow. Has a sense of reasonable responses to stressors and knows how to remove herself from a bad situation when necessary. Generally a 5/10 because the inherent stress of existing in the Jin Sect is a real thing.Ā
Wen Qing: Itās hard to be the most competent person in the room most of the time who spends most of her time in very politically precarious positions and with her or her brotherās life at least sort of in danger! Pretty up there forĀ āmost stressedā candidates. Sheās really having a time of it. Generally hovers around an 8/10.
Wen Ning: Generally not stressed, at least not in the traditional way. Is distressed a lot, but not so much stressed. Ends up at roughly 4/10.
Wen Chao: Like Jin Zixun, gets somewhat shielded from stress by being an unrepentant asshole, though his end of life 11/10 stress via Wei Wuxian kind of makes up for the rest. Averages more of a 2/10 most of the time, though? I donāt think we can let that relatively brief period skew the scale too much.
Wen Ruohan: DoesĀ āmagic induced losing your mindā count as stress? I mean, he has a pretty stressful job even before that, but he doesnāt projectĀ āstressā so much asĀ āincipient madnessā during the period where we actually see him doing things. Not sure what rating to give here. It seems like heās kind of on a different scale.
Wang Lingjao: For the most part seems to manage to get by relatively stress-free, up until things start going completely to shit and she gets haunted to death. Generally closer to a 2 or 3/10, because life as a servant ascended to mistress in a strictly hierarchical society is inherently a wee bit stressful.
Wen Zhuliu: Too sick of this shit and not getting paid enough to really stress out about it. 1/10.
Lan Sizhui: One of those people who manages to appear serene and calm all the time but mostly has just gotten used to functioning at a higher level of stress and therefore can pass for calm even when he is having an Experience of it, which makes his stress levels kind of hard to gauge. But Iād put him at a relatively consistent 6/10.
Lan Jingyi: Wouldnāt call him stressed exactly but heās definitely very high energy. Kind of gives off the vibes of a very energetic dog who would be stressed if you didnāt keep him busy, but mostly (because I feel like Gusu Lan Sect is pretty good at keeping him busy) hovers around a 2 or 3/10.Ā
Jin Ling: I feel like Jin Ling isnāt stressed most of the time up until the actual events of CQL itself, where he is both very stressed and very confused almost constantly from the time he first runs into Wei Xuanyu, and it only goes downhill from there. So covering the events of the show Iām going to put him at a 7/10, because he does manage to deal with some wild things with some equanamity and makes it all the way to episode forty-five without breaking down sobbing.
Ouyang Zizhen: Seems like a sensitive soul but doesnāt give off the impression of carrying around a lot of stress, at least not from what we see of him. Probably the chillest of the junior quartet, tbh. Gonna give him a 2/10.
Xiao Xingchen: For most of his life Xiao Xingchen manages his stress very well! Heās actually surprisingly chill. Gets significantly more stressed, understandably, after Xue Yang engineers his no good very bad breakup (the first one) with Song Lan. But in general not that stressed! It is actually part of why he doesnāt handle the stress when it comes very well. Heās not used to it and he only had one pair of eyes to sacrifice. In general a 3/10.
Song Lan: Makes up for Xiao Xingchenās relatively low stress levels by picking up on the stress for both of them. Still chiller than a lot of people on this list, though, but thereās a lot of very stressed people in this show, so. 5/10.
Xue Yang: Manages his stress by making everyone else very stressed, on purpose. If heās having a bad day heāll go and make someone else have a worse day and it helps. At least until thereās a dead Xiao Xingchen and then nothing helps! But as a rule exists at a general 2/10 and honestly he deserves it.
A-Qing: Her life is inherently stressful because she is a street kid trying to make it in a world that is not very friendly to people with no structure supporting them, but she manages to bear it pretty well on the whole. Still, itās hard being a-Qing. She just makes it look easy. Probably a 4 or 5/10.
Sect Leader Yao: Heās not stressed, but heās very good at making everyone around him stressed every time he opens his mouth. His presence is a +2 to stress for everyone in his vicinity with the exception of Sect Leader Ouyang, who is for some reason immune. 0/10.

thank u for the tags yelling at us youths to sit up straight. im only 23 but disabled and my back is about the only part of me that ISNT fucked up yet, so i will attempt to not destroy my spinal cord in your honor (ā¢Ģį“ā¢Ģ)Ł
Gonna take this as an opportunity to go off on a tangent and emphasize how out of nowhere your health can 180 in ways that will have a lasting impact for the rest of your life, and that this can happen at any moment no matter how careful or healthy you try to be
-I grew up poor enough to not have regular access to medical/dental/etc. for years at a time, avoided serious issues by sheer fucking luck and an extended family that did not sign up to raise another kid but thank christ they stepped up for me.
-managed to stay healthy enough to join the Air Force at 18. this was good news because the alternative was being homeless (again), which gosh got old fast. free medical? fuck yeah, uncle sam! my teeth are a mess and it sure would be nice to have glasses again!
-knees started acting up in BMT. slowly got worse as the years passed. haven't needed surgery yet but they make some wild gristly sounds when I go up stairs these days and anything more than a casual running regimen is immediately vetoed
-deployed when I was 22. wearing body armor was Not Great for my upper back. lost ability to pop anything in my spine from the shoulder blades up, gained some truly unsexy shooting pains in exchange
-several years of severe headaches i ignored because lmao childhood trauma and also not wanting to be seen as weak due to being just about the only enlisted woman in almost every unit/office i worked in.
-marriage imploded at 26 which gosh, did NOT do good things for the mild anxiety/depression i'd been staunchly ignoring for like a decade at that point. i used to think commercials for anti-depressants were like, rude satire. nope. that really is just how shitty a brain can get!
-apropos of FUCKALL I woke up one morning just before I turned 27 with a headache that has varied in intensity and location but has never gone away. latest diagnosis is a type of headache that's so persistent and resistant to treatment that there are known cases of people having this type for 30+ years. i could be one of those unlucky fucks! or it could go away tomorrow! we just don't know!
-spent 2018-2021 making EXTENSIVE USE of that free medical trying to figure out what the hell was going on or to at least find literally anything that will help reduce/control it. I have at this moment within arm's reach something like $2k worth of medical devices I got for free to help with the migraines.
-they don't.
-one time i tried to do a tally of how much I would have had to be pay out of pocket for all the primary care visits, the specialty care visits, the physical therapy, the stupid fucking useless acupuncture, the Botox, the ~16 different medications, the ER visits from bad reactions to medications, etc. etc. etc. if i hadn't been in the AF and I decided to go lay down in a dark room with an ice pack and not think about it instead.
-i did spend thousands out of pocket on a chiropractor, massages, and gas to keep driving to all those fucking appointments.
-during all this the constant migraines wreaked havoc on my neck, jaw, and shoulders, which in turn contributed to a vicious cycle of pain where doing anything beyond boiling myself in a dark shower 1-2 times a day did not only seem more trouble than it was worth, but WAS more trouble than it was worth.
-i was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia at 28. the rheumatology clinic gave me a pamphlet that was less informative than a google search and a politely phrased 'you're young and you still have all your limbs, why are you complaining? go away.'
-fibromyalgia diagnosis was given despite more evidence pointing to Sjogren's syndrome, which is an actual autoimmune disorder that sure, won't kill me, but it WOULD explain why my teeth have only gotten worse despite extremely thorough annual workups. it can cause all sorts of fun organ dysfunctions too. i could also go blind! either way neither is curable and whatever i've got showed up a decade earlier than is typically expected for my demographic!
-it wasn't any of the squillion medical experts i saw but literally just some other woman in my squadron who suggested i put my name on the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry, because she developed all sorts of autoimmune fuckery after her deployment. all of That is still being researched and debated and such, and has been for decades. maybe breathing too much sand and burning garbage gave me brain damage! maybe not!
-also during all this i lost half my hair due to damage caused by using Devacurl products. if you use that brand there are currently multiple lawsuits going on! you or your loved ones may be entitled to compensation, etc.
-anyway i turned 30 this year and a month later the Air Force kicked me out with 90% disability pay, a couple anti-depressant/anxiety prescriptions, and 0 fanfare.
-things could have gone so much worse for me and STILL COULD AT ANY MOMENT. I never considered myself invincible when I was younger but my good fucking gracious chronic pain isn't something i'd wish on anybody. i am terrified of the state my body might be in when i'm 40, never mind when i'm actually old. i am terrified of tomorrow. this is probably the severe anxiety talking.
-at least i've managed to avoid the heart disease rampant in my family? so far????
IN CONCLUSION, TO THE YOUTHS:
sit up straight, do some stretches, go for walkies, eat a vegetable, turn the music down a little, clean linens are the best gift you can give yourself, however much water you typically drink in a day it isn't enough, therapy does actually help, it's okay to be mad sometimes but i'm begging you to find at least one thing to laugh about every day, please take care of yourselves, and most importantly ENJOY your bodies while the going's good. this meat is expiring fast and there are no refunds.

also like (okay so i know i was like āIām reading comics to find out about jasonā and now iām writing about Damian but)
it seems kind of weird when people characterize Damian as like. super angry to me? He never seemed really angry to me, just defensive (because he often felt like he was being judged and definitely was being judged at some times), independent (he doesnāt want other people to try to solve his problems, he does it himself), and like a kid who was suddenly thrown into a completely new situation with no good tools to cope with it. I guess the above factors might make him read as kind of prickly.
like yeah he can get mad (like everyone else) and has a hard time dealing with his emotions, but i wouldnāt put āangryā down as one of his personality traits.
I also think itās interesting that in the flashback scenes Iāve seen with him* he seems to have very few interpersonal-interaction problems in the League of Assassins. Like thereās the time he insists on calling Talia by her first name (which she dislikes) and it seemed like he was trying to challenge her authority but thatās normal for kids (asserting their independence from their parents and that seemed to be his way of doing it). But for the most part he seemed to be eager to succeed at what was asked of him and didnāt get in many arguments in the LoA.Ā Iām not really saying thatās how he should always be written since heās allowed to grow up and start questioning the world around him more. He also was very obviously confident in his skills in the League of Assassins and was like āiām the bestā the only difference is that most of the time he was hearing āyes you areā or at least āYou should beā back. itās not like Iām saying that he was meek in the league, damianās never been meek a day in his life. just noticing that it was not a source of interpersonal relationship conflict.
i canāt remember if i was going anywhere with this post so have some random damian character analysis
oh wait no now i remembered
it was about bruce talking about his anger in wanting to kill nobody but i donāt think that anger has really entered in the equation a lot (sometimes it does obviously) with Damianās fighting and definitely does not enter in the equation with his killing. when he killed people it seemed to be based on duty or self defense/defense of others (killing netz when netz was about to kill his dad)
*i havenāt read all his appearances this is mostly robin: son of batman flashback scenes and batman and robin #0 and I guess the flashback scenes with mara in the first 6 issues of teen titans rebirth
#damian wayne#dc comics#idk wat else to tag this#cant remember exactly waht bruce said to damian am i gonna have to re read that potline now?

Depression, Trauma, (and Most Importantly,) My Thoughts on Hello Charlotte EP1 & 2
Eating has been difficult for me for as long as I remember. It started off as an aversion to food, in favour of spending my time more efficiently on what my dumb little mind viewed as more important: Homework, video games.
Over time, it turned into anorexia. I had already gotten used to eating just under 500 calories a day, and my depression took my poor habits and twisted them into a cowardly and slow attempt at suicide.
On my road to recovery, Iāve found that years of poor eating choices have lead to my body struggling to process food. I have to eat at a painstakingly slow pace lest my stomach turns against me, and the smell of food is sometimes enough to diminish my appetite altogether. My bowel movements are, for lack of a better word, a shitshow.
This brings me to today, the 10th of August, 2021. 6 or so years of barely eating enough to survive later, Iām setting the world record for the slowest consumption of a fillet oā fish in the history of mankind.Ā
In my absolute boredom and unfathomable stomach pain, ManlyBadassHeroās playthrough of some random horror game (I canāt remember the name) appears in my YouTube recommended, and Iām reminded of a horror game I bought on sale on Steam, the last of a trilogy. In all honesty, I only bought the game because it was dirt cheap and one of my sistersā names is Charlotte. I was too horrified at the time to process the story nor play the previous two games, so I did a quick achievement run and left it at that. I was certainly very confused as I had no idea who any of the characters or what any of the concepts were, but the gore had me too mortified to go and find out myself.Ā
A year later, Iām looking the trilogy up on ManlyBadassHeroās YouTube channel, and decide to start from the beginning of his Hello Charlotte journey, in 2016.
Hello Charlotte EP1
Iām going to be completely honest with you, the first game really didnāt resonate with me too well. It was a cute, quirky, RPG Maker horror game, with two loveable main characters and an interesting world. However, with context from the third game, the events felt too self-isolated and inconsequential. Felix and Charlotte are in a little self-contained TV world created by a fictional race called Pythia - creatures with 3 or 4 eyes that can create miniature dimensions, once brought into a hivemind by an āOracle,ā which seems to be some sort of god. They all seem to be falling apart and have taken a horrific turn as most of the Pythia have beenĀ āexecuted,ā and those who havenāt have either gone mad or into hiding in their own bubbles of (albeit temporary) safety.
The ending of the game is somewhat misleading, too. Once Charlotte and Felix escape the TV world by having Charlotte merge with the Oracle itself, the game almost plays off the previous events like they were all a story made up by a young and imaginative Charlotte. Did they happen at all? Is she a reliable narrator or point of view to begin with? (Spoiler alert, she is not.) The explanation for it all seems to be that Charlotte herself is a schizophrenic, though the legitimacy of this is brought into question in the third game, which I will talk about later. Altogether, the game didnāt bring out many strong emotions in me, and I was starting to zone out as I moved on to the second gameās playthrough.
Hello Charlotte EP2
What struck me as odd in the second game is that while the first game seemed to bring Charlotte out of her own strange, black-and-white world and back into reality, weāve found out that sheās right back where we started last game. A black-and-white world, inhabited by her imaginary friends. Aliens, gods, and the like. However, Charlotteās seemingly made-up world feels more alive this time. Iām not sure if this is the consequence of the game developer improving their skills or an intentional detail, but even more characters are introduced, and previously shallow tenants of Charlotteās home are given more depth. The hazmat-suit wearing aliens have faces, personalities and whole backstories attached to them, now. Charlotte has a best friend at school named Anri, who has a obsessive crush on her. Sheās friends with a bullying victim named C with horrible germaphobia, who has almost identical struggles to her (more on those struggles later.)
What also surprised me is the continuity between the first and second game. For some reason, I thought that this Charlotte would be starting from scratch, completely oblivious to the fate of the first gameās iteration. However, this concept only seems to be used in the third game, so I guess I was simply mislead. This game, in fact, takes place 3 years after the first, and the Oracle still lives on within Charlotteās conscious. However, itās a dying god, on its last leg. It had already been dying during the time of the last few Pythia, but it had used the last of its strength to free Felix and Charlotte from their world. As the Oracleās health declines, so does Charlotteās mortal body.
Unlike the first game, most of the themes in this game hit way too close to home. The feeling of second-hand helplessness when someone you barely knew ends their own life. Anriās obsessive and outright manipulative lesbian crush on Charlotte, bordering on bullying. The schooltime harrassment and trauma Charlotte underwent. The fear and dangers of social interaction. Feeling unlawfully punished by your school teachers for seemingly nothing at all. Depression, self harm, and the primal urge to escape from it. Getting roped into othersā mental health, until both of your issues converge into a disgusting amalgamation of the need but severe lack of therapy and a break from it all. Delusions of what couldāve been and the possible, yet near impossible future ahead. Looking back on everything youāve ever done and regretting every second of it.
While I ticked off the trauma presented to me on a silver platter in the form of a fucking RPG Maker game like a twisted bucket list, I found myself relating more and more to not only Charlotte, but the students around her. Scarlett, whose life was so perfect that nobody had even thought about her possible mental issues until it was far too late. Anri, who would lay down her life for a girl who simply doesnāt feel the same way. C, who desperately wanted to escape from reality by any means possible.
An interesting fact about Hello Charlotte is that there are numerous omnipotent beings amongst its cast. They arenāt shy about providing very in-depth character analysis to Charlotte, and in turn, to the puppeteer (I suppose now is a good time to inform those who are unfamiliar with the series that the puppeteer refers to a species, character, and the player, all at once. Charlotte has a puppeteer controlling her by the name of Seth. You are/are controlling Seth as the player. Capiche? Capiche.)
What this meant for me watching Manlyās playthrough was the feeling of two gods (in this game, at least) peering right into my soul, analysing characters that reflected my exact experiences and even my personality during my school days. I learned and realised things about myself that I simply hadnāt known before. Just like Charlotte, Iām simply looking for direction in life, and Iām too afraid to act without instructions. I found myself bullied, manipulated and abandoned by someone who simply wanted my affections, and only learned to miss them when they were gone. Like Anri, my desperation for love and approval from an individual in turn lead to anger and resentment for them. Like both Charlotte and C, I eventually turned to hurting myself to make all the pain go away, refusing help from others and developing a shell of false optimism and naivety to forget about the damage I had dealt to my body, personality and relationships.
As much as I hate to admit it on my little obscure Tumblr blog with 0 followers and 0 traction, I still struggle with these things. I have no direction in life, and wander aimlessly, hoping for one of my offshot attempts at content creation to take off. I find myself missing the girl who emotionally abused me to hell and back every day. I resent another girl for never feeling the same way I felt about her. I still donāt take care of myself, and spend every day in a state of denial about my physical decline and sickliness. Iām so incompetent emotionally that I spend days ignoring my own boyfriend, starving him of the proper relationship that he deserves all because of how broken, fragmented and distant my own mind is.
Hello Charlotte EP2 has four endings. All four of them, in my eyes, are bad.
In the first, C and Charlotte overdose together, leaving their mortal realm to become gods. They choose to ignore and forget the pains of their mortal lives, and live the rest of their godly lives in ignorant bliss. Do I want to forget about my depression and trauma? Learn nothing, and forget about everything that made me who I am today? Or worse even, do I dare take the plunge intoĀ āgodhood,ā and leave this mortal plane to end my suffering altogether?
In the second, Charlotte discovers that C isnāt who she thinks he is, and she finds him without a soul. Alive, but empty. Charlotte could not save him. Consumed by grief, she ascends and becomes a god, consuming the entire world around her. After all is said and done, she realizes her mistake. All of her friends are gone, C is still empty and unresponsive, and now she is alone. Sometimes, I feel as though Iāve already gone through this ending, many times over. Countless times Iāve let my depression become all-consuming and take over my life. Iāve pushed so many people away and hurt so many more, and for what? I have nothing to gain from every fit of depression, and the consequences make it seem nothing more but a selfish attempt to make myself feel better.
In the third, Charlotte is the only one who dies. In her last moments, the Oracle comforts her, like a mother cradling her child. They embrace, and say goodbye to each other, as Charlotteās own life was the only thing keeping the dying god alive. At this point, Iāve started to draw parallels between the Oracle and depression. Depression isnāt always a horrible thing that beats you down and keeps you from being truly happy. Sometimes, wallowing in my own sadness and depression would be the only thing that keeps you sane, stable, and calm. The feeling of hopelessness really is bittersweet, and in desperate times, goes hand-in-hand with acceptance of oneās circumstance. Oftentimes, I find that this is the most realistic way Iāll go out. One day, I may just accept depression, and succomb to it. There may not be a struggle at all. Rather, a quiet, submissive hum, which will fade away into silence.
In the fourth and final ending, Charlotte and C die alongside each other. After her death, Charlotte confronts the Oracle, and wishes to save everyone, and for everyone to be unhappy. Of course, this is where the classic saying:Ā āBe careful what you wish forā comes in. Because of her wish, everyoneās soul, what makes them individual and unique, is erased. After all, no one can suffer if they cannot think at all. In some ways, emptiness is pure bliss. This once again goes back to the bittersweetness of depression. The sheer emptiness it may bring on, at times, is bliss. Feeling nothing isnāt always a bad thing. Itās a way to cope with the horrors of the world. To remember nothing at all is such a tempting yet unattainable solution that I canāt say I havenāt longed for in the near or distant past. Charlotte, of course, is distraught that her friends are all gone, their identities and souls lost forever. Following this, she has one request to make of another god, the observer. She wishes to be killed, as all of her actions have lead to nothing but pain for others and herself. The observer, however, refuses this offer. Instead, he comforts her and takes her hand. They go on a journey together. He suggests that one day, sheāll learn to control her power, and she can recreate the world and her friends. As they leave, Charlotte reflects on her hopes and dreams for the journey. She hopes to learn to be kind, and not hurt others. She wants to change her ways, and become an honest, good person. Charlotte, slowly but surely, is on the road to recovery.
Putting the unsettling sequel to this game aside, maybe I could learn a little bit from Charlotte.

Do you maybe have some headcanons or Au or something for Moana x Merida? I really like that ship! š¤and I like your moodboards with moanida! ^^
Anon I need you to know I am literally crying TEARS OF JOY because I have FINALLY received an Ask on this humble little blog and I am OVERJOYED
Yes, I would love to talk about Moanida!!!
Iāve got a few AUs I kinda play around with for them--might make moodboards of them one of these days! A couple I really like are a Mermaid AU and a Selkie AU, probably with Moana as the mermaid/selkie because of her ocean connection??? But I really like the idea of Selkie!Merida too, since it would go so nicely with selkies in Scottish folklore and all that. Either way it solves the geographical issue because they can just swim to each other!!! Also yes, these gay girls crossing literal oceans for each other is absolutely the hill Iām going to die on. Iām also a fan of a sort of Mythology/Goddess AU where like Moana is an ocean goddess and Merida is a volcano goddess of sorts akin to Te Ka with cool lava hair and scary volcanic rock skin and only Moanaās soothing ocean waters can calm her eruptive (heh, get it?) rage. And this also means FORBIDDEN SAPPHIC LOVE FORBIDDEN SAPPHIC LOVE FORBIDDEN SAPPHIC LOVE
Also MOANIDA HEADCANONS YESSSS
I thought up some just for you <3 Some are more general and some are more specific AU-focused so I tried to sort them by AU but thereās probably gonna be some overlap.
General ~Merida is THE most overprotective girlfriend. Like she knows Moanaās independent and can take care of herself, but she absolutely will not tolerate slander of or threats to her girlfriend of any kind. If Merida were to meet Maui at any period in the timeline where he and Moana werenāt really cool yet and he was still being kind of a dick to Moana, Merida would try to fight a literal demigod. She doesnāt give a single fuck. ~Once Merida hears about the Tamatoa Incident, she wants to fight every crab she sees. She also develops a taste for crabcakes and crab rangoons because she starts eating lots of crabmeat solely out of spite. Moana finds this endlessly amusing. ~Moana definitely has the braincell between them. Sheās constantly having to hold Mer back and talk her down from starting shit. Merida would unleash the Rage of a Thousand Suns upon her enemies if given half the chance. ~Merida is very physically active and loves working out--she would work out twice a day if given the chance. Sheās just really about those exercise endorphins. Moana makes her fresh tropical fruit bowls and tropical fruit smoothies for after her workouts. Merida adores these and eventually she absolutely refuses to drink any smoothies not made by her girlfriend. ~Theyāre both lowkey caffeine addicts. Merida usually loathes getting up early (unless itās to work out or go riding with Angus) and will snap at anyone and everyone until sheās had coffee. Moana knows how to get her hands on these really amazing-tasting, obscure types of Polynesian coffee, so she hooks them up with The Good Stuff. After tasting the coffee Moana gets, Merida honestly never wants any other B-tier type of coffee again. ~They love to go sailing in Moanaās boat. In a modern AU where the boat has a motor, Merida likes to make them go really fast for the adrenaline rush and the feeling of wind in her hair. It kinda freaks Moana out to go that fast, but itās honestly worth it for the look of absolute elation on Meridaās face, and the way she laughs and cheers the whole time. ~Sometimes they like to go out on more calm, tranquil night sails. Once theyāre a ways out, they just lie on the deck and stargaze. Moana points out all the constellations to Merida and rambles about how to navigate with them. Merida just turns and watches her with this super-smitten look the entire time. ~Moana teaches Merida some Maori. She teachers her how to sayĀ āI love you,ā and, at Meridaās request, how to swear. ~Sometimes Moana calls Merida Maori words Mer doesnāt understand. Merida gets mad because she thinks Moanaās insulting her. It turns out sheās just calling Merida a bunch of super sappy Maori pet names. ~Sometimes Merida and Moana just like to talk shit about people who are pissing them off IN Maori, so they donāt understand. ~Whenever Merida absolutely goes OFF on someone for saying something homophobic or sexist or whatever, Moana just stands back and crosses her arms and smirks, and saysĀ āThaaaatās my girl!ā It absolutely never fails to make Merida blush like a madwoman and start blubbering like an idiot and lose her original point completely. ~When they fight, they are SO stubborn, petty, and dramatic about it that they can stay mad at each other for DAYS. For really bad fights, they usually end up needing a mediator (in a RotBTD+ AU, I imagine this would be Rapunzel, Anna, or Hiccup). ~Angus and Pua are best friends. No, I will not be accepting criticism at this time. They get into lots of hijinks and shenanigans, and sometimes they sneak out together and Pua likes to ride around on Angusās back. When Pua and Angus go missing, Mer and Mo just kind of sigh likeĀ āOh, theyāre out adventuring again, arenāt they?ā ~Angus also always protects Pua so he never has to be scared of adventuring again!!! Pua still remembers his and Moanaās disastrous first sailing attempt, and Angus makes sure little Pua never gets into danger like that again. ~Hamish, Harris, and Hubert ship it SO hard! Moana turns out to be really good with kids, and has even been known to assist with the boysā mischief from time to time. They definitely think Moanaās a good person to keep their sisterās chaos in check while not being TOO much of a boring wet blanket stifling her fun. ~Sina absolutely ADORES Merida and basically adopts her and treats her like a second daughter. After hearing Merida doesnāt have the best relationship with her own mom and feels like her mom doesnāt try to understand her or respect that sheās different from her, Sina gets like...SUPER angry and and starts doting on Merida to an almost annoying extent. She never wants Merida to have to feel forced into being someone sheās not, since she saw that with Moana and how much it absolutely KILLED her to be kept away from the ocean. ~Tui is leery of Merida at first, mainly because she seems like sheās going to be a bad influence on his daughter. However, he eventually comes around to her once he sees how much she loves his daughter, and they bond over both being ridiculously overprotective of Moana. ~Fergus also adores Moana, and basically knew Merida was gay from the jump--them dating is 0% a surprise to him. Heās honestly just glad that his daughter has someone more rational and down-to-earth to prevent her from doing anything TOO stupid. ~Elinor meanwhile, traditionalist that she is, is NOT about this whole lesbian thing and would probably be pretty homophobic...at least at first (steaming hot take, I know, sheās just got tradition so far up her ass I donāt know if sheād EVER be okay with her daughter choosing not only to forego marriage to man COMPLETELY--not just delay it--but marry a woman instead, who she couldnāt produce an heir with. Also sorry but I do not like her and probably will not portray her particularly favorably in my HCs sorry not sorry lmao) Maybe she comes around, maybe she doesnāt. Iāll leave that up to your imagination. Although I am not an Elinor fan so I think you already know my take XD ~Moana is grey-asexual grey-aromantic, so she CAN be sexually and romantically interested in people, itās just...very rare. Merida is basically the only person sheās ever wanted to legit date. Maybe she likes boys too, but she wouldnāt know--she hasnāt found any sheās into thus far.Ā Merida, meanwhile, has always been a raging lesbian, and has had lots of crushes on girls over the years (in an AU where she has the opportunity to, anyhow--ARE there even any girls her age in Dunbroch??? XD). When her parents would read storybooks to her as a kid, sheād always finding herself getting doe-eyed over theĀ āfair maidensā rather than the fearless, ripped warriors who saved them from danger.Ā No crush ever hit her quite as hard as Moana did, though. But Merida knows for a damn fact she isnāt into men--90% of the time she canāt stand them and their antics, and the only men sheās ever really felt any kind of affection for are ones in her family or ones who remind her of one or more of her family members. ~Moana makes Merida flower crowns. Merida grumbles endlessly about howĀ āgirlyā they are, so Moana hunts down some black flowers to make one with so itāll look a bit more badass and intimidating. Merida absolutely LOVES it and wears it everywhere. ~Merida teaches Moana how to horseback ride and how to shoot a bow and arrow. Sheās pretty not great at either at first, but Merida is incredibly patient with her. This shocks everyone around them, because since when is Merida patient with anyone? ~Merida also teaches Moana swordplay, and they LOVE to spar with each other. Agressive flirting during sparring sessions is very commonplace. If anyone attacks either Dunbroch or Motunui, Merida and Moana are a force to be reckoned with. ~Likewise, Moana teaches Merida how to sail and some kinda basic naval combat skills (i.e. how to shoot that harpoon gun or whatever it was she used to fight the kikimora off). ~They donāt have sex that often because neither of them has that high of a sex drive, but when they do, Merida tops if a strap-on is used. ~Moana is the kind of person who just kinda sings songs to herself as she goes about her daily routine and her chores. Merida loves to listen in because she thinks Moana has the prettiest singing voice on earth. That doesnāt stop her from teasing Moana aboutĀ āsinging all the got dam time,ā though. ~Literally ALWAYS cuddling and kissing when theyāre watching something together or just doing any kinda idle activity at home together. These girls cannot keep their hands off of each other. They hold hands in public pretty much everywhere they go, and Merida yells at anyone who makes a fuss about it.
Modern AU ~They meet while Merida is studying abroad in Tahiti. Maybe because Maui (whoās Moanaās cousin or older brother or something) has a tattoo parlor, and of COURSE Merida goes in to get some edgy bow and arrow tattoo to piss her mom off. Or maybe Merida is just snorkeling in one of the coves on one of her days off, and she runs into Moana and they just Vibe. ~I also like the idea of them meeting at a bar/nightclub type place in Papeete--like maybe Maui owns the nightclub because he just likes to party like that, and he lets his little sis Moana poke around in there because heās lowkey a terrible influence XD And maybe one night Moanaās bartending to make a little extra cash and Merida comes in and gets really drunk on like a huge Sex on the Beach or something and starts really clumsily hitting on Moana and Moana gets SUCH a kick out of it. Merida canāt remember much of the flirting the next day, but she and Moana still become fast friends. ~Merida is constantly ditching class to sneak off and go see Moana. Her grades are plummeting. ~When the semester abroad is over, they promise to keep in touch over the internet--although Moana also wants to write letters because she loves the idea of having a pen pal. Merida teases her mercilessly for being soĀ āold-fashionedā but also doesnāt have the heart to say no. ~They end up confessing they like each other over internet chat. Merida damn well knows sheās gay and has for a while now, but sheās terrified of telling Moana sheās into her because sheās really scared Moanaās straight. So when Moana is the one who ends up confessing to Merida, Merida has literally never been happier in her entire life. ~Once Merida graduates, they decide to just sayĀ āfuck itā and move to some big seaside city together (for some reason I really like the idea of them living in Los Angeles???). Merida needs to get away from her overbearing mom and Moana just really wants to see more of the world besides the South Pacific, so away they go! ~BROADWAY MUSICAL NERDS BROADWAY MUSICAL NERDS BROADWAY MUSICAL NERDS! They both fucking LOVE musicals, especially those with sapphic undertones (Wicked, anyone?), and will loudly and obnoxiously sing along to the soundtracks, much to the chagrin of all their neighbors. Theyāre also pretty big theater fans in general--especially Merida, always rather the dramatic type. ~At some point they save up and go to see Wicked on Broadway together. The trip ends up being one of their all-time favorites, and their fridge is covered in goofy, dumb selfies of them in New York. ~Moana goes to every SINGLE one of Meridaās archery tournaments, and every single game of any other sport she plays. Literally no one cheers more boisterously or enthusiastically than Moana does. Whenever Merida hits a bullseye or scores a goal, Moana grins and nudges the people next to her (even if theyāre complete fucking strangers) and goesĀ āThatās my girlfriend!!!ā ~Merida is a goddamn punk, and is always walking around in spiked jackets, combat boots, and basically any other clothing that saysĀ ādonāt fuck with me.ā She tried to start a punk rock band once, but it ended up falling through because no one would sponsor Meridaās angry screamo songs about smashing the patriarchy. Moana still went to all of their tiny-ass, tacky concerts though, for the few months they wereĀ ātouringā the city. ~Merida taught herself how to play electric guitar because she thinks itās Edgy and Cool. Moana really likes to dance, and knows a fair number of traditional Polynesian dances and has even taught a class or two. Merida learns how to play some traditional Polynesian music on the electric guitar so she can play while Moana dances. The combination of hard rock-esque shredding and a very mellow island dance looks extremely bizarre to anyone watching, but the girls absolutely do not care.

The Best of 2020
Better late, than never. I enjoy seeing other peopleās top-10 lists and I said Iād do one for 2020, so here we go. I havenāt had the chance to watch EVERYTHING I wanted to, but youāve got to pull the trigger at some point. When the Academy Awards took place on Sunday, I felt like I hadnāt seen ANYTHING nominated but I could remember dozens of times where I felt like I wasted my precious minutes with cinematic detritus. I assumed putting this list together would be easy. It wasnāt. Iāve got a lot of runner ups but for now, here are my Top 10 āBestā (by which I kind of mean my favorite) movies of 2020:
10. Never Rarely Sometimes Always
Never Rarely Sometimes AlwaysĀ gave me a lot to think about. On the surface, it's about a teenager who has to travel outside of her hometown to get an abortion, but it could've been any kind of procedure she's uncomfortable (or unable) asking her parents for. It's about the lengths she has to go to when her main source of support is cut off. You feel uneasy throughout, wondering what lengths the girls will have to resort through and whether something horrible is just around the corner. For this reason, I think many parents would find the film enriching.
9. Mank
I havenāt posted my review of MankĀ yet - just haven't had the time so consider my star rating for it "spoiled". If you don't know, it's about Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) and the time he wrote Citizen KaneĀ for Orson Welles. I canāt call Citizen Kane one of my favorite films, but I do often think of it. The story, the characters, specific shots, the overall look, etc. Every time I revisit it in my memory, my appreciation for it grows and in a way, MankĀ helps complete my relationship with the film. For that reason, I foresee myself revisiting MankĀ in the future - probably as part of a double-bill. Iād love to see it enough times to memorize some of Gary Oldmanās best lines.
8. One Night in Miami
One Night in Miami addresses the present while being set in the past but something about it clicked with me more than Ma Raineyās Black Bottom. It's essentially a series of long conversations, the kinds that force you to really examine tough questions and see these legendary figures as normal people. Unlike Mank, it isn't so much the individual lines that stand out, it's more the vibes you get from the exchanges. Out of all the movies on this list, it's probably got the best ensemble cast.
7. Sound of Metal
I'm sure you've seen that clip from Un Chien AndalouĀ where an eye gets sliced with a razor? It gives me the willies just thinking about it because if I were blind I wouldn't be able to watch movies or draw. In Sound of Metal, we're dealing with a career cut short because of deafness but the dots are easy to connect. Ā I immediately connected with this movie, which made its ending feel like a punch in the gut.
6. Tenet
I keep telling myself that I wonāt love a movie Christopher Nolan directs just because his name is attached to it. Hopefully, this doesn't make me a fanboy, despite my falling for pretty much everything he's released. I love how ambitious TenetĀ is. The plot is so complicated but then again it isn't because once you're able to grok the mechanics of its reverse-entropy technology, you'll probably figure out most of the plot's mysteries. For me, that was the fun part. It felt good to see my understanding of the story and theories confirmed. I'll be watching it again once groups can gather so my friends and I can discuss everything in detail.
5. Trial of the Chicago Seven
I know The Trial of the Chicago SevenĀ fudges history in ways certain people would say is irredeemable but I never go into a film ābased on true eventsā assuming liberties wonāt be taken. At the end of the day, I care about being entertained. My enjoyment was also amplified by the fact that I didn't know what the verdicts would be - my American history is spotty, at best. It's got laughs, outrage, drama, and inspirational moments. Aside from romance, you've got pretty much all the bases covered.
4. Palm Springs
Out of all the pleasant surprises of 2020, Palm SpringsĀ was the biggest. I thought the Groundhog Day thing was played out and the 0-star-worthy Love Wedding RepeatĀ did nothing to convince me otherwise. Then, this movie comes along and does everything you want in one of those movies, and then some. Not only did Palm SpringsĀ give me the romantic comedy I'd been craving for (feels like we haven't gotten a good one since "Crazy Rich Asians" it also examines what love and relationships mean through smartly written metaphors.
3. Possessor
No, I didnāt put this movie on the list just because itās Canadian; PossessorĀ is on this list because itās the most unsettling movie of 2020. I mean that in a good way. I've already talked about how unsettling the premise is but it's also the execution. Those bizarre ādreamā scenes with the different identities merging in unnatural ways is unforgettable. That mask of Tasya's face, half-melted is already creepy enough, when worn by Christopher Abbott as he re-enacts her memories is just so weird it makes you wonder if youāre actually seeing what youāre seeing, or if youāre going mad. Then, there's that shot with the fingers at the end! Makes me wince just thinking about it.
2. Soul
During the Oscars, I get a little mad at Pixar. They effortlessly churn out these masterpieces that mean no other studio has a chance of winning an Academy Award for the Best Animated FilmĀ category. It makes me wonder if the voters even bother to watch the competition but I don't think anyone could argue against Soul. It's among their best films. Itās gorgeous, profound, and modern without showcasing any issues that might flush your day down the toilet.
Runner-Ups:
Enola Holmes
I never believed Enola HolmesĀ would end up on my "Best of the Year" list but this movie is a lot of fun. If you haven't seen it yet, you should. Just wanted to remind you.
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) I was disappointed when audiences didnāt seem interested in Birds of Prey. Seeing Margot Robbie go all-out and given a script that actually makes good use of her character was lots of fun. I also found it refreshing to see a superhero movie (not really, but kind of) that didnāt involve a plot to destroy the world, upheaval all of civilization, or shoot a giant beam into the sky. I think this is one people will discover down the line and go āwhy didnāt I go see this in theaters when it was playing?ā
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm Iām not 100% in love with Borat 2Ā but boy am I looking forward to showing it to people who have no idea whatās coming. That scene with Rudy Guliani might not have the same impact down the line as it did when I first saw this sequel, but thatās ok. Itāll still have you picking your jaw off the floor.
Nomadland Itās a great movie and I mightāve put it on my list of the bestā¦ but I just donāt see myself watching this one again anytime soon. Great movie though. It deserves every accolade you see directed towards it. ChloĆ© Zhao is shaping up to be a major talent. While before I mightāve said āEternals who?ā Now, Iām excited.
The Vast of Night Until I saw Possessor, this was my favorite horror film of 2020. I love the way this movie does so much without showing anything. Itās all about letting your imagination do the work.
Hamilton Iām still unsure how I feel about the casting in Hamilton. Everyone does a terrific job. I understand why actors of color were chosen to portray the historical figures we meet during this story. It still doesn't sit 100% comfortable with me. Then again, who can argue with those results? Iāve seen the movie twice and the songs are still playing in my head.
1. Promising Young Woman
I only had so much before this post went up. Enough for one more movie. It was a tossup between The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, and Promising Young Woman. As you can imagine, Iām pretty satisfied with the choice I made. Writer/director Emerald Fennell takes the rape-revenge genre and reshapes it into something that feels completely new. Like many of the other films on this list, it also feels relevant to whatās going on today. There are many reasons why I couldāve given it this slot. The writing, the performances, the way it puts your stomach in knots as you wonder whatās going to happen next, the pitch-perfect endingā¦ but Iām going to pick a more personal reason. I try to look at films as snapshots of when they were made. Thereās a part of me that winces when I look at Gone with the WindĀ but Iām also able to take a step back and say ābut other than thatā¦ā and then just enjoy the movie. In Promising Young Woman, the past is confronted in a way that made me pause and think about two movies on my shelf: Wedding Crashers and American Pie. The Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson comedy, in particular, has a lot of questionable bits of comedy, bits made even more eyebrow-raising by the fact that it isn't an "old" movie whose entire cast is now dead. Letās just say that when a movie makes me go āThis movie is replacing Xā, makes me think this hard about things, and does everything else you want in a thrillerā¦ itāll stick in your head for a long time. That's why I'm calling it the best/my favorite movie of the year.

Class 1-A Game Night Headcannons
Hereās a lil somthin that popped into my head.
āāā§āāāāāāā§āāāāā§āāāāāāā§āāāāā§āāāāāāā§āāāāā§āāāāāāā§āā
Yuuga Aoyama
This boy has no shame
They could never beat him at Just Dance or Twister heās just too bold
They could never let him and Mina play against each other on Just Dance they were dancing till they dropped.
TWISTER ohh boy yāall know his pose right? Once he does that he automatcally wins everyone else is wayyy to embarrased to continue.
Mina Ashido
Just Dance QUEEN
She and Aoyama battle in Just Dance
One of the best people to sit next to in Uno
Sometimes they just play Life just for fun but she always wins. She has a whole family, a car, a house, and a whole lot of money
She totally stole everyoneās money
Tsuyu Asui
She normally likes to play calm games that wonāt end friendships *cough* UNO *cough*
She could totally own everyone in Clue, she just knows your tells.
She always comes in third in monopoly, she knows what to do with her money and how to properly spend it.
She saysĀ āSorryā in Sorry
Katsuki Bakugo
UNO.
Donāt play with this boy, and if you do, donāt sit next to him. One of two things could happen
1. You get PLUS 2ā²d and 4ā²d a bunch of times or at least until someone reverses it.
2. They could be plaiyng with theĀ ā7, 0 ruleā and you get a hold of hisĀ arsenalĀ deck and just have a whole lot of plus 2ā²s and 4ā²s you just kept looking back and forth from your deck to him
One time Hagakure thought it would be fun to play with jumbo cards you sat there lookin like:
Tooru Hagakure
She is in charge of game nights
If thereās a game they want to play theyāll have to talk to her first
She has all the games ready for next week, sometimes she asks Momo to make an extra copy of cards
If they play mafia and sheās the murderer she always wins, you could never tell if she was the murderer. She could be smiling and they would never know.
Watches all the chaos go down during Uno
Tenya Iida
Monopoly.. oh boy
Takes his money very seriously, he always wins no exceptions
If you land on his properties yes itās plural you gotta pay right then and there
Run out of money?
Donāt ask Iida he can and will make you pay interest.
Supervises Uno he knows what that game does to people
Kyouka Jiro
Does that thing where you only move the controller in Just Dance and still manages to get 5 stars
She aināt sorry in sorry
She could win Clue as the murdererļæ¼ļæ¼ if she just keeps her straight face the entire time
Jiro is not the one to mess with in Uno you plus two her, she will stack that hoe
She would totally have music playing in the background
Denki Kaminari
MARIO KART AND SMASHH
Does that thing where a blue shell is coming and you back up into 2nd place
They canāt beat him at those, with the exception of Sero and Kirishima they could beat him and Mario Kart if they tried a bit harder
Bakugo wipes the floor with him in smash
Totally asks Hagakure to put more plus 2ās and 4ās in the deck to watch the chaos unfold
He could never win clue as the murdererļæ¼ if you ask him the right questions he will get nervous avoid eye contact and start laughing
Could never win Monopoly he always gets in jail, heās in there so much they just made him a little jail box
Eijirou Kirishima
Hypothetically speaking if you had a Wii he would be BOMB at the wii sports games
Yāall remember those?
If you play tennis with him your not making a point on him, itās like heās a different person
If youāre on his team... youāre exercising whether you like it or not
Casually throws blue shells at Kaminari ļæ¼
No one has the heart to plus 2 him in Uno
Bakugo did it once and everyone yelled at himļæ¼ļæ¼
Kouji Koda
Like Asui he doesnāt like friendship destroying games
You could NEVER get him to play Just Dance, Twister, or that heads up game
Loves Monopoly! Until Bakugo needs money..yāall still lookin for those games pieces
Basically any game that is calm, and doesnāt require him to talk much heās down for
Izuku Midoriya
I like to think he had little game nights with his mom therefore, he will most likely win.
Uno? He sits across from Bakugo he knows.
He asked Iida for money in monopoly and came in dead last.
Heās a pretty fast learner so heās the only one who could keep up with Kirishima in Wii sports.
Blue shelled Kaminari and laughed
Because of him everyone knows why the game was called āSorryā
They once played Jeopardy but with hero questions... He got all the points
Minoru Mineta
Oh honey oh honneyy
Heās banned from Twister.
Heās surprisingly pretty good at clue
Brings popcorn to Uno
Got plus 38 in Uno
Heās fun to be around if he behaves ļæ¼
Mashiroao Ojiro
HES TOO NICE
He will never plus 2 anyone, even if itās his last card
If someone lands on his property in Monopoly he just apologizes to them
Says sorry in āsorryā like Izuku
He gets concerned for his classmates in uno
Shocks him how one card could ruin friendships
Rikidou Satou
Candy Land
Despite the way heās built heās good at Jenga
Never wins Twister heās too big
Bakes snacks for game nights, lil muffinss, lil cupcakesss.. YES
He knows the power of the plus cards
Bribes everyone to stay calm with cake
Hanta Sero
MARIO KARTT
Him and Kirishima are usually neck and neck throwin red shells at each other
Taped Mineta to the wall when he was bein a perv
Pretty decent at Twister cause of his long legs
ļæ¼hides the get out of jail cards from Kaminari
He could win Uno without using plus cards, he just sits next to the right people
Mezou Shouji
Doesnāt really play that many games
He doesnāt participate in Just dance or Twister
Everyone had to teach him how to play certain games
He prefers to watch everyone play UNO and make sure Bakugo doesnāt explode the table
Could easily win clue, even though his mask hides his face itās completely straight
Shouto Todoroki
Okay I know I said Shouji doesnāt play many games but this boy?
HE HAS NEVER PLAYED ANYYY
Every time someone suggests a game heās like āwhatās that?ā
They had to teach him how to play EVERYTHING
One time Izuku needed 500 dollars in monopoly and this precocious baby wired him 500 monies..
Uno. They canāt do anything to him they would just feel so bad, with the exception of Bakugo of course he regrets nothing.
Lil bonus- He finally wins a game of uno and goes: āAs Y/N would say: āSuck on that.ā ā He says it so calmly
Everyone is startin at him before you go āThey grow up so fastā
They looked at you like:
IM SO SORRY SKGKSH
Fumikage Tokoyami
Dark shadow...
Heās banned from UNO heās a little cheater
But JENGA?
Heās the champ, dark shadow helps him find the best places so he usually wins
Heās also pretty good at battleships
Since dark shadow is his total opposite anything Tokoyami is not down for heās gonna do
Youāll never catch him playing Just Dance. Ever.
Hagakure once thought it would be fun to play poker (no bets of course)... when I tell you Dark shadow PLAYED DIRTY
He would always win and since he and Tokoyami are attached they both won every round
Tokoyami is down to play Uno he thought it was a harmless card game.
Until he saw the raw power of the plus cards.
He never thought heād see so much madness that was caused from one card
Dark shadow totally eats Minetaās popcorn
Ochako Uraraka
I like to think her parents held little game nights to keep her mind off of the financial issue they were having
The best person to hang out with during games night hands down
Comes in second in monopoly sheās an expert on saving and spending money
Yāall remember when the had the little aurora thing goin on after her internship? Yeah thatās her in Uno
Donāt test her sheās locked and loaded
Will do Just Dance but sheās not as competitive as Aoyama and Mina
Loves playing āLifeā she thinks itās cute and simple
Momo Yaoyorozu
Helps Hagakure plan game nights
Makes extra Uno cards to shuffle plus 2ās and 4ās in the deck
Class 1A mom will not hesitate to break up a Uno fight
Loves the game āLifeā even though Mina steals her money
Brings tea for Satouās treats
Sheās really good at battleships
Really good at clue she knows the right questions ask, and thier tells
