Your found family Au lemon story got me thinking, Shrub acts like my three cats with everything. Either trying to fight, eat, or being scared of everything. I now headcanon your shrub is like a cat, if so, what would happen if you placed a cucumber behind her? Would she get scared of it, try to eat it, or try to fight it? Or all three in that order. Also I love your au and I'm obsessed with it, would definitely read all of it, recommend it to my friends, and might possibly draw art of it. Keep up the amazing story that I have become obsessed with!

ฅ(•ㅅ•❀)ฅ

first off, thank you so much, anon! 💖💖💖 I really appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the Found Family AU. honestly, I would be over the frickin' moon if you recommended it and especially, drew art - in fact, I would probably keel over and die from happiness! 😁

my answer to this has gotten a bit long so I'm going to put it under a "keep reading" line. [I really do seem to love making long posts :D but it's cool, it gives everyone more content!]

ya know, I didn't think of Shrub as a cat at first but I kinda like that idea. my thoughts were that she was raised by Xornoth and well, Xornoth is a first time parent and a demon at that, they wouldn't know that you're not supposed to teach your kid everything there is about fighting and not eating things she shouldn't be eating. so, ya know she's kinda feral sometimes, which can be the same thing as being a cat.

which, on that note of eating things - aka bugs - she's just a feral little gnome of indeterminate age and has pretty much an iron stomach. also, I'm thinking that because she's a gnome, and one of Nether origins, she's physically able to consume things that the average human/being wouldn't be able to and she wouldn't get sick from the products - examples include: bugs of all sorts, mushrooms of all sorts, mob drops like rotten flesh and spider eyes, pufferfish, etc.

but, to get back to your question [sorry for going off topic and rambling], I would say that Shrub would do all three to some extent.

someone - probably Fwhip and Sausage - would sneak a cucumber next to Shrub and they would watch from the sidelines, probably hidden and with a camera, to see what happens.

and what will happen is that Shrub will do two things, she would get startled and immediately attack, probably with a buttersword or her trusty axe - and this will happen in the span of seconds. then, when she sees that there's not really a threat, she'd investigate the cucumber that has sadly been dealt a mighty blow.

she'd look over the cucumber and touch it and sniff it, much like she did with the lemon. she might ask someone about it if they're near and they'll tell her it's called a 'cucumber' and it's a food they usually use in salads or eaten plain.

so it's edible? she takes this under consideration and would then eat the cucumber, skin and all [I say "skin and all" because I personally don't like the skin] someone else might offer her something to eat with it, whether a minecraft-esque version of ranch or maybe a spicy sauce made with blaze powder. knowing Shrub, she'll eat it either way - with or without sauce - but if she did have sauce, I'd believe she would love the blaze powder sauce the best.

honestly, this girl of ours, she'll eat pretty much anything if you give it to her. I actually have a little side-plot idea where Fwhip and Sausage, being the troublemakers/pranksters they are, test this out: if we give Shrub something, will she eat it? I got the idea for that from this post about Legolas.

fun fact: Shrub cannot eat Gem's magic crystals, and by extent - Fwhip's redstone dust if harvested from the special deepslate redstone, flesh from Sausage's bloodsheep, or any other super-magical item that's been blessed for each of the rulers. if she does consume these special items, she gets sick - like if one were to get the flu, that kind of sick, and it would put her outta commission for at least a few days. the regular items, like gold dust or non-magical amethyst shards/dust or regular redstone dust, have little to no effect on her.

reason for that kind of reaction is that:

1) she is from another realm, the Nether specifically, and some Overworld items have at least some degree of harmful effects to the residents of the Nether. but it's the items that one usually would not even attempt to consume, or it's the more magical-infused items, so this information isn't really all that known.

2) [this is the main reason tho] her proximity to Xornoth has in some ways effected her on a biological level. this was not done on purpose, it was just something that happened naturally over the course of their time together. and I believe because of this, the special items of the rulers has a negative effect on her, and by extent, on Xornoth as well, though for the demon, it would be much more harmful.

- I got this idea during this post where I talk about Shrub trying to find a cure for Xornoth to basically un-demon them.

- and the idea also came from headcanon/canon theory that if every ruler combined what was most special/magical to their empire, that it could cure the demon completely.

I really hope this answered your questions, anon, and satisfied your curiosity. I apologize for it being so long [tho, I have written longer posts and this one is short by comparison].

feel free to ask me more questions, or even just talk! I love talking and interacting with all you wonderful empires fans and especially those of y'all that're reading the content for my AU.

peace out, friends! and I hope y'all're doing well!

The Flowers Always Know

Description: When a mad scientist uses you as an experiment while you’re on holiday, the Heroics only just manage to save you. And in your recovery you become very close to the leader of the group. (Slow burn)

Rating: Mature

Warnings: Language + severe triggerwarning for victims of domestic abuse.

Link to Masterlist

Comment: House-hunting, mole-hunting and Anita-hunting (sort of). And this chapter is like 95% conversation.

Chapter 32

“Are you serious?”

“What?”

“That is way too big… What would we even do with all that?”

“Hermosa, we fill the space we have. That’s not a euphemism, just a fact. If we have four rooms, we’ll fill those, and if we have twelve, we’ll fill those too.”

“Who the fuck needs twelve rooms?”

“It only has eight rooms.”

“And there are only four of us.”

“So, that’s it? No room to grow further?”

“Honey, just how much are you anticipating this little family to grow? That’s a totally serious question, by the way. How many kids would you actually like to have?”

“If your weird-ass body permits – like… four.”

“Hey, who are you calling w…… did you just say four?”

“Yup.”

“What… including Missy, or… an additional four?”

“I’m not picky. If we end up with just the two little miracles we have, I’ll still be the happiest man alive, but I wouldn’t mind having a bunch. Five, six, however many our love can create, I’ll be more than happy to nurture and raise and love all of them unconditionally, even when they inevitably pee on me.”

You had no idea how to answer that, so you just stared at him. But he knew how ambivalent you were about all things concerning family, so he didn’t pose the question back to you, and instead just smiled while he watched the cogs in your mind struggle to fit together.

“S-six… you’d be okay with another… six kids?”

“Mhm.”

“Fuck, Marcus, I’m struggling to even get it into my head that we’re gonna be joined by a tiny fragile infant in about 7 months, how are you already contemplating another five?!”

“Relax, preciosa, I’m not actively contemplating it, I’m just answering a question. Saying I wouldn’t mind something, doesn’t mean I’m aiming for it.”

“But you’re looking at houses with eight rooms…”

“Like I said: we fill the space we have. Rooms have endless usages, it’s not like we have to make all of them bedrooms. We can have home-offices, a separate play-room, a separate dining room.”

“Yeah, I get all that, it just seems excessive.”

“Sweetheart, all I’m saying is, we’re looking for a home for life. If our family grows more, I don’t want to have to move again. I want the place we pick to be one that can take anything we weirdo’s throw at it.”

“Okay, fine, I’ll look at the big-ass house.”

“Thank you.”

He handed you the phone and you scrolled through the different images, seeing things you liked and things you didn’t. But when you got to the master bedroom, your eyebrows shot up. The room looked ordinary at first glance, but when you took a closer look, you noticed that it had some special features.

“Marcus… is this why you’re so interested in this house?”

“It’s not the only reason…”

“Who the fuck owns this place - Stormy Daniels?”

“No, just some accountant.”

“The bedroom is soundproofed.”

“Which is convenient and useful for all kinds of people, but especially parents.”

“Hard pass.”

“We could just go and look at it before you dismiss it completely.”

“Nope. Not happening. Move on.”

“Why? Seriously, what’s so bad about it? Missy wouldn’t have to wear headphones every other night, and we wouldn’t have to worry about her overhearing stuff.”

“Yes, those are good points. But: what if something happens to one of us, and the other needs to shout for help? What if something happens to Missy, and she tries to shout for help and we can’t hear her? What if someone breaks into the house, and we don’t hear it? I mean, I’m pretty sure you have super-hearing, but I don’t, and you’re not home every second of every day. I want to live in a house that speaks to me. You know, the way our house used to creak in the mornings when the sun warmed it, and settle again in the evenings, when it cooled. And if we are gonna have a bunch of kids, I sure as shit wanna be able to hear every little thing they get up to.”

He looked ridiculously pleased at how you’d thought that through.

“Got it, hard pass on all soundproofing. But can I ask you another serious question? One you might not have such a clear answer for?”

“Sure.”

“Our house… why did you send the whole thing over there? Why not just Prince and his machines?”

“There wasn’t any thought involved with that, just instinct, and at the time, the house didn’t feel safe. I walked in and it was like entering a tomb. And I honestly don’t know if I could’ve ever walked in to that house again without having that feeling.”

“I can understand that, mi amor. And I hope you know that I’m not asking because I’m in any way upset with you. I saw the look in your eyes in those moments, and I know how scared you were. To be able to utilise your abilities with that kind of precision and delicacy right then, was down-right miraculous.”

“Let’s just hope I never have to try and repeat that miracle. Now, what’s next on your list?”

He tapped away on his phone, blinking a few times at the wetness in his eyes, before handing it back to you.

“Wow… this is even bigger.”

“Same number of rooms, just a bigger kitchen and more garage-space.”

“Oh, I like the yard.”

“Check out the backyard.”

“Holy… that’s huge! And a pool. We’d need guardrails around that, or I’d be perpetually terrified for the baby to fall in. Are those trees on the property as well?”

“Yes. That whole little patch of woods is.”

“Really? I mean, a pair of swings in those trees…”

You were so engrossed in the phone that you didn’t see Marcus smile wider as he watched you fall in love with the place.

“Oh, I love the kitchen. And there’s a fireplace! Those are beautiful floors. Holy shit – I could swim in that bathtub…”

“Sooo…… you like it?”

“I do.”

“Enough to go have a look?”

“Definitely. But Missy has to come too.”

He beamed. You’d had a few long conversations about the house-hunting before you actually started, and after a meeting at the bank, you’d found out that your credit was basically more than big enough for anything you might want, which was an odd thing to try and get your head around. Not that you wanted a life of luxury, but it was sort of strange to realise that you actually could have practically any kind of life you chose, in terms of housing. The two of you had settled on a firmly planted roof of expense that you were willing to extend to the purchase. And even though this house was huge and renovated to the nines with modern upgrades, that still managed to float seamlessly into the older stem and feel of the house, it wasn’t really particularly near that roof.

“I’ll call the realtor and see if they can fit us in later this week.”

“It’s a nice area. A little out of the way, but a good neighbourhood, and Missy wouldn’t have to change schools. Our commute to work would be a bit longer, but on quieter roads. And there’s a fence around the property. We could get a dog, or two. Or even a frickin’ pony with the size of that backyard.”

Marcus just stared at you with that giddy smile firmly planted in his whole frame, while you rambled on, completely lost in your own thoughts, until his silence eventually made you snap out of it and look at him.

“Oh, crap. I’m already moving in, aren’t I…?”

He just laughed and hugged you.

“I’m definitely on board with the dogs. But I’m gonna need my phone back if I’m gonna be able to call the realtor.”

You quickly handed it back to him, just as there was a careful knock on the door. You were in Marcus’s office, sitting in one of the sofas, perfectly naturally just sitting next to each other, for once. It had only been a week since you were released from medical, and he was still a little worried about getting you worked up, so you hadn’t been together yet, and it was creating something of a space between you. Not a wall, nothing that exclusive, just a little void that was a bit hard to reach across. He called for the person to enter, and Will stepped in, immediately shooting an apologetic glance at Marcus. He still hadn’t quite recovered from seeing Cujo that time, even though Marcus had apologized for scaring him.

“Hi, sorry, I was told I could find you here.”

You smiled warmly at him to ease his discomfort.

“What’s up, Will?”

“Uh, Miss. Timmons is looking for you, she needs your help.”

Oh, for fucks sake…

“Let me guess; she screwed up her paperwork, again?”

“Looks like it.”

“Damned it, Izzy. Wait, why’d she send you to get me, you’re not an errand-boy, she couldn’t have picked up the phone?”

“She did go looking for you in your office, but when you weren’t there, she got a little… desperate. She knows that she’s messed up too many times already, and I think she’s genuinely scared that you’re gonna fire her. She started crying outside your office and I was just passing by, so I offered to go find you for her.”

“If I had the authority to fire her, I would’ve already done it.”

You sighed and got up to leave, but Marcus caught your elbow.

“You’re not gonna go back to work, right? We talked about that.”

“If I know Izzy, this won’t be solved by correcting a few clerical errors.”

“So, let someone else do it.”

“No one else can, honey. That’s why I still have my job despite the number of sick-days I have.”

“Preciosa… it’s dangerous. Prince’s people are in this building, and if he was obsessed with you, or us, then so are they. None of us can afford to be distracted right now.”

“I know, but we still have to live. We’re still the same people, and neither one of us are the type of person that’s just gonna stand by when someone needs help. If the team needs you, I expect you to go and help them, not just because that’s your job, but because that’s who you are.”

“Just don’t let yourself get too engrossed. Stay alert at all times. We have no idea who’s a friend and who isn’t.”

“I’ll check in with you every hour, okay?”

“Every half-hour. And just until you’ve sorted this mess out, then you come back and find me, you don’t start on another three problems you discover along the way.”

“Are you giving me orders now, Team Leader?”

He grabbed your hips and pulled you in close, so that your bodies were only millimetres apart and his nose was brushing against yours. It was more than enough to heat you up after six weeks of inactivity, but the tremble of emotion in his voice when he spoke next, pushed the desire aside, to make way for compassion.

“I can’t lose you again. I’ll do anything…”

You closed your eyes and rested your forehead against his. How many times had you lost each other already? Your ability made it so easy for you to feel like it was your job to save others, like it was what you were put in this world to do, and especially where your family was concerned. So, you had to start reminding yourself that while you would probably always be able to absorb anything bad that happened to them – you’d also always hurt them by doing that. Your ability came with a terrible price, and you were only lucky to have survived everything you’d been through thus far. Marcus was right, you had to be more careful. You wrapped your arms around his shoulders and nestled your nose into his neck. His arms closed around your waist and held you to him, strong and sure, and you felt like you could just stand there for the rest of the day.

“I promise I’ll be careful, and not take any risks. I love you.”

“Te amo, querida.”

Will had moved to stand outside the door after Marcus started talking to you, but he fell in behind you when you walked past him.

“So, where is she, and what has she done?”

It felt really good to get back into something familiar and achievable again. To do something that generated an immediate response and result, and within fifteen minutes you suddenly understood why Marcus had been so worried. You got lost in the task in no time at all. You sent him a text while you waited for a lawyer to call you back.

[You’re right, I’m already cheating.]

[How bad?]

[Two other issues already solved, while I’m waiting to work out Izzy’s.]

[Why are you waiting?]

[Because lawyers always have something better to do.]

[Fine. But as soon as it’s dealt with, you come back to me. I’ll be at the control centre.]

[Promise. What’s going on?]

[Just two small countries deciding to go to war over the quality of their chocolate.]

[Well… I suppose there are worse things.]

[They’re hurling missiles at each other over fucking candy…]

[Wow… Where’s Máma when you need her?]

[Don’t you worry, she’s right here, so this should be sorted out by the time you get here.]

[Oh, in that case, I am so calling her Chocoreno from now on.]

[Please don’t…]

[Only if she doesn’t solve it.]

[*sigh*]

After another eight phone calls and a lot of grovelling to people you really didn’t like, you finally managed to set things straight, and went to find Izzy to give her a piece of your mind - again. But when you got to her office, she was on the phone and turned away from the door, so she didn’t see you come in, and you accidentally overheard the end of her conversation.

“No, of course not, I’ll be straight home from work. Why would I make any stops? --- I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you… --- No, baby, don’t… I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you, I promise. --- Anything you want, name it. --- Yeah, that sounds.. nice. I’ll be home soon.”

Shit.

She turned around, looking absolutely terrified, and then she saw you by the door and quickly tried to adapt a neutral expression. She was good at it too, within half a second there was no trace of fear in her face. You only got that good at hiding your feelings if you knew that showing them meant terrible pain.

“So, everything’s taken care of, no harm done.”

“Really? Oh, thank you. I’m so sorry, I swear I don’t mean to mess up the papers, it just gets to be too much sometimes.”

“Izzy, if I ask you a personal question, will you answer me honestly?”

A trace of fear re-emerged in her features, but she nodded carefully.

“Is it work that gets to be too much… or is it home?”

You could see the internal struggle. The need to be free of the fear and the pain, and that same fear making it almost impossible. All the irritation and frustration fell away from you with the realisation that she wasn’t incompetent at all. She was being smothered. How many times had you added to her stress and general feeling of inadequacy, by barking at her for constantly missing or screwing up doing things? Why hadn’t you seen the signs sooner, you knew every single one of them?

“I’ve been where you are, Izzy. I should have seen this. I’m so sorry.”

“You have nothing to be sorry for, honestly, I’m fine.”

“Show me your arms and your stomach. If they aren’t bruised, I might believe you.”

She squirmed where she stood, and her head dropped in defeat.

“When was the last time you didn’t have an injury somewhere? When was the last time you could move without feeling pain somewhere?”

She just kept staring at the floor, shaking her head, trying to will it not to be true, so you walked up to her, pushed your energy around her, and healed her. The amount of energy that it drained from you, told you everything you needed to know about how injured she was, and you quickly reached into your back pocket to retrieve a pill from the small box you kept with you at all times these days. Izzy stared wide-eyed at you, while you fumbled with a paper-cup at her water-cooler, hands shaking with the sudden loss of strength. Then she suddenly sprung to life and came to help you fill the cup and down the pill.

“Jesus Christ, girl, how were you even standing with all that damage?”

“I… got used to it over time. He didn’t… start out that bad.”

“They never do.”

“Thank you. So much.”

“Thank me by letting me beat the living hell out of that guy.”

“You’d better not. But… maybe… you could ask one of the guys on the team to… talk to him?”

“Are you serious? You wanna stay with him? No, honey, no amount of talking is gonna fix him.”

“No, I meant like… talk him into not killing me for leaving him.”

“Oh… Yeah. That I could probably do. Just give me his name and address.”

You downed another pill, and started feeling better, while Izzy scribbled on a note for you. You took it and read it, and stuffed it down your other back pocket.

“You should stay here tonight, just in case he decides to try anything. And call me if you need anything, Marcus and I are still living here, so we’re close, okay?”

She seemed to hesitate about something.

“What is it?”

“Um… do you know Jack Daven?”

“Who?”

“He’s a kid who interns at the science division.”

“Oh, Jackie. Yeah, unfortunately I do know who he is.”

He was the kid you threw head-first into a wall.

“I just… I think he might have something to do with your mole situation.”

“What? Why would you think that?”

“A while back, he came to me saying that science had sent him with some paperwork that needed to be signed, but when I looked at it, I realised that it was actually for research, and I told him that. And he laughed it off saying that he’d just made a mistake, but that didn’t seem very likely, because the forms he had were for release of testing materials. They wouldn’t send an errand-boy to retrieve those, they’re too dangerous. At the time I figured that maybe he’d been sent with an escort, for learning purposes, and that I just never saw them. But, now with the investigation, I think there might have been more to it than that. I was just too scared to... I didn’t know who to trust with it.”

“You can always trust me. Thank you, Izzy, I’m so sorry that I ever thought of you as incompetent.”

“Forgive me and I’ll forgive you.”

“Done.”

You ran full speed back to Ops, and almost collided with the automatic door to the control centre. Marcus was working at a station to the left, and smiled without looking up as he heard you. Anita was at the centre console, with her back to you.

“Damned it, why do all automatic doors move so fucking slowly?”

“Ah, I hear my future daughter-in-law has entered the premises.”

“Shut it, Chocoreno.”

“What did you just call me?”

“Choco-reno, the clue’s in the name, máma.”

“Ay, loco, today’s not a good day to test me.”

“Why, does máma need a hug?”

“Don’t even think about it.”

“Fine. How about some nice chocolate instead? I hear there might be some steep discounts on a couple of brands.”

“Mujer… did you burst in here for a reason? Because if not, I’ll burst you right back out.”

“Hah, I’d like to see you try.”

She huffed.

“As you wish.”

You caught a glimpse of Marcus’ expression as it shifted from bemused to genuinely worried, when Anita turned and came towards you.

“Mooom…”

She ignored him and tried to grab you, but your ghost hands caught hers before she could make contact, and they were much stronger than your physical hands. She definitely had super-strength, that much was obvious right away, and she wasn’t holding back. You could feel your strength begin to drain, so you changed tactics. You flooded the room with energy, and then drew it back to compact it all around yourself, creating that same kind of barrier that the Inventor hadn’t been able to break through, despite his genius belt-modification. And then you just stood there, perfectly still to conserve energy, while she tried in vain to push you out of the room.

“Mom, stop it, right now!”

As her focus momentarily shifted towards Marcus, you saw the smile that played in her features. She was just having fun, testing your strength and flexing her own, whilst getting some frustration out of her system, knowing full well that you could take it. Feeling certain she wouldn’t kill you for it, you grabbed the opportunity. You let the wall of energy disappear as she was leaning against it with all her might, and as the barrier fell, so did Anita – right into your arms. It was a bit like trying to catch a running bull, and the impact was certainly painful, but you ignored it and just hugged her to you. She scrambled out of your grip, but you just smiled at her, because you knew she enjoyed every moment of it.

“I have to say, I’ve never had to fight my way into a hug before.”

“That wasn’t a hug, loco.”

“Yes, it was, and you know it. Do you feel better now, or do you need another?”

She was actually contemplating another round, which prompted Marcus to step in between you.

“Do I have to remind both of you that you’re pregnant, hermosa? Playful or not, you’re not fighting each other again, now, tell me why you were moving so fast that the doors were too slow for you?”

Oh, for fucks sake, why where you so easily distracted?

“Right… We should probably talk in private. Considering the fact that it’s only been two hours since we sat in your office looking at houses – a hell of a lot’s happened.”

He led the way towards the door, and you shot a look at Anita, over your shoulder.

“Raincheck on that hug?”

“I’ll boogie with you anytime, loco.”

“That’s how you boogie? And you call me ‘loco’.”

Akudama Drive Character Opinions/Thoughts Pt. 1

Yay!! I finally finished Akudama Drive today! I’m so so sorry for not posting recently, I’ve been very busy with the holidays and semester exams. But at last, I finally sat down and binged from about episode 6 through to the end, and OH. MY. GOD. I have so many thoughts and emotions running through my head!!

So today I thought I would give a very honest review/my opinions for EVERY character in Akudama Drive just for the heck of it and to help cope with the sadness of the show being over. Thanks for sticking with me! <3

So obviously, this will be spoiler heavy, but I assume that everyone reading knows that. xD Okay! This’ll probably be long and really long winded, but off we go!

Swindler: Oh gosh. Where do I even begin with her?? Swindler’s character was so intriguing to me from the get go, what with us not knowing much about her (and even in the end still not knowing much about her past). I was pretty neutral towards her in the beginning, but MAN. After that scene where she killed those two guys protecting Sister. MAD Respect. I think that that marked a turning point for me liking her. I found her a bit much at times when she didn’t seem to show extreme emotions at the deaths of Hacker, Hoodlum, etc. But I obviously know that she was wrapped up into all this tea by accident and that her actions (While at times potentially suspicious) were completely justified, such as her fears, her desire to protect Brother and Sister, and her confusion as she slowly began her descent into the craziness that was the Kanto-Kansai situation. It was super enjoyable seeing how she grew, and I really wanted her to succeed and be happy. Her death scene made me cry. Also those scenes with Sister and her were so CUTE. <3

Courier: To be completely honest, I didn’t really have any strong emotions towards Courier for the majority of the season. He was frickin badass as all hell, but in terms of the character himself, I thought he was alright. That definitely changed though by the end of the season! We see him deliver a gift to Sister without any fee (Brother’s “dying” wish) and we sympathize with his tragic backstory involving the unnamed woman murdered in his home (mother? Sister?) I loved that addition because we get to see more about the coin itself and why he views it as bad luck. Super neat. I think his interactions with Sister and Swindler are cute, and makes me think of them as sort of like a family. UwU Also his love for Takoyaki/cooking is a pretty fun contrast to his stoic outside. I’m not sure that I ship Courier and Swindler (I can 100% see it though :3). I see them more as two individuals who are bound together by fate (the coin) and have grown to respect one another while learning/surviving in this crazy world. I was definitely sad to see him go, but I’m super happy that I got to love his character a lot more by the end! What a cool guy. His dedication/the way he went above and beyond for Sister and Brother in the end? Perfection. My first pick for a zombie apocalypse team.

Brawler: He’s wholesome for sure. I’m usually not a big fan of big, tough guys in anime, but he reminds me of the traditional Danganronpa stereotype of the fighter with a warm interior. His interactions with Hoodlum made me like him so much more and appreciate what he brought to the table. I’m sad that he’s not recognized more. He's super badass in his own right and I feel sort of guilty for not realizing it while he was alive. Like cmon girl. It pissed me off the way that the Doctor was treating him after he died (also. That. She killed him. >:O) Like. Is that all you saw him as? I get angry when the POC characters always die first/disrespected by other characters for the sake of “comedy” and whatnot. Like as a POC myself...it’s not cool. But overall, I liked him for who he was. I didn’t care for him too too much, but I definitely wanted him to be happy and enjoyed those sweet moments of excitement he had when fighting, even up to his last moments.

Hoodlum: He was the one character in Akudama Drive that I was not expecting to like as much as I did. Again, not my favorite, but MAN was he entertaining! I ADORED how much character growth we got from him. I was really rooting for him up until the end (I got super excited when he killed Doctor...and then really sad. CoMe oN) Initially in the first episode, he just seemed to be the classic sort of cowardly idiot, but after he met Brawler you can tell he changed a lot. The dynamic was super fun! Even after Brawler dies, the moments that show Hoodlum coping with his death are amazingly sad, for example, when he says “check this out,” or when he gets angry when no one else seems to care about his death. (SAME Hoodlum. SAME.) The anger and grief that Hoodlum feels is portrayed in an interesting way (he begins to lose himself and submits to Doctor’s manipulation/alternative resources in Kansai). In the end, I’m so happy that he was the one to kill Doctor, because not only was he avenging his friend’s death, but also standing up for himself in a way that he hadn’t done in the series up to that point. Overall. Loved the development of my boi.

Doctor: This woman. I tell ya got on my nerves. Holy moly. But I should clear things up! At first when she was introduced I thought she was super cool for sure! We s t a n n a queen to put them boys in their places, but as time went on I started disliking her more and more. Don’t get me wrong, there are parts about her that I think are amazing! For example, I loved her motivations for studying the children (interesting), her poisons/ability to heal were incredibly useful, her voice actor, and sometimes she was just a bad bitch. Like go off queen. But at the same time, I really found her bothersome. I don’t really know when I started to notice it as much, but I just didn’t care for the way that she called Brawler a “Dreadlock Gorilla” ...because like. Um. NO. I also didn’t like how she manipulated Hoodlum (obviously that’s totally in character, but still). As the show went on Doctor just really didn’ vibe with me for some reason. I guess I just didn’t like her as much as the other characters and I know it’s terrible to say, but I was glad when she died. I don’t know what else to say. I stopped liking her. ://

Hacker: Right from the beginning I knew he was my favorite character. <3 I think the aesthetic was super cool and I loved loved the similarities between him and a certain SHSL computer programmer. ;) I appreciated the little moments with him, for example when Cutthroat pushed the emergency buttons on the airbus, the whole “parting-gifts” idea, the drones, etc. His abilities that he brought forth were incredibly useful and without his sacrifice the final mission of rescuing Brother and Sister would’ve been impossible. I LOVED that his role expanded even after he left the group in the early stages (;-;), we can see he was behind the blackout, the hijacking of several systems (including the propaganda videos), and how he was able to play the puppet master by controlling/saving his old teammates. I just think that his abilities to hack and to literally do anything that he pleases was super badass. I feel like out of all of them, Hacker is one of the few that genuinely feels more human (in the sense that he seeks out a new place to call home/excitement, etc.) which I loved. Overall my favorite character...I’m still a little salty about his death and the fact that no one really acknowledged his sacrifice. >:((

Hope you enjoyed that long ramble! Check Out Pt. 2! 💕

AHHH MANDY!!!! i’m so so sorry to be yelling but i just needed to come here and shout because i have had a realization that i am IN LOVE with cas 😭❤️ at first i just thought he was really cool but i wasn’t a huge fan of him or destiel, but now i love him so so much 🥺 and ngl i’m kinda starting to like destiel a lot bit after seeing their purgatory flashbacks 👀🙈 either way! i just needed to drop by and say that cas is AMAZING (like him and the bees was frickin adorable 🥰 i love seeing his different versions!) i miss him but apparently he comes back next episode so i’m excited!!! ☺️💕 ok that’s all i think for now— i love you so much and i hope you’re doing well!!!

AHHH HELENA I’M JUST NOW GETTING TO THIS <3 YOU CAN COME YELL AT ME ANYTIME! Suffering (lol) after a season finale? I’LL BE HERE!!!

Ahh yessss you’ve fallen for the angel in the dirty trench coat :) Honestly? I can see why you’ve prob fallen for Cas in the later seasons, cause he’s more...robotic(?) in S4-6(ish) You’ll prob love him in the modern (10-15) episodes when you get to them!

Lolol if you’ve sort of started shipping destiel now, there’s a loooot more than where that came from. I like to (others too prob) call season 5-7 ‘Vintage Destiel’ XD. But that makes me so happy that you’ve taken an interest in the ship!! Now that I think about it, I wasn’t head over heels for destiel (like I am now) when I was doing my first watch through. My love for it grew overtime I think, like 8x17 is what set me off lol.

Cas does have many different versions of himself! That’s one (of many) the reasons why I love him so much <3 HAHA oh the whole ‘comes back’ made me laugh. Get used to it :P

Thank you I love hearing you ramble!! (like I did here too pfft) ILY TOO AND I’M DOING WELL ON THIS FINE SUNDAY AFTERNOON <3

Those sinful lips! (Poe x Reader)

Hi!!!! This is my first fic, I just really REALLY love Poe, and English is not my first language so I’m sorry for all the mistakes!

Summary: Poe has the softest lips on the whole galaxy and you love them (pre-relationship)

Words: 1845 !! Wow

I don’t know who or where the gif belongs to, I’m so sorry!!

It was his thing. You knew it was his thing. Yet, you coulnd’t help it, you hated it every time he did it. You hated Poe Dameron and his damn perfect plush lips. The first time you felt his mouth against your skin you had just joined the Resistance. You were assigned to fix up a beautiful ship, you felt a little intimidated by it, since you had just arrived, but it seems like your experience as a mechanic in Coruscant was enough. Or maybe they wanted you to prove yourself worthy of being there.

And that you did indeed. You worked really hard on that ship, an barely sleep for a few days. It needed a lot of work, and on some occasion, when you were working on it, your mind wandered off to its last mission, and the whereabouts of its pilot. You hoped they were alright.

You were almost done. And it was late. Really late. But there were only a couple things left to finish. So you set your mind on staying up all night if nedeed. Despiste trying hard to stay awake, sometime in the middle of the night you fell asleep, your body too tired to keep working. You woke up slowly, feeling your whole body ache for the akward position you slept on, leaning on the X-Wing. You got up too fast, groaning once you were on your own feet, and supporting you with one hand on one of the wings. You rubbed your forehead with your free hand and a softer groan escaped your lips this time. When you lifted your head and observed the hangar you noticed it was still dark, you had time to finish what you were doing before the sunrise. Then your eyes fell on your toolbox, there, next to it was a steaming cup of what you suppossed was coffee. You got closer, with your brow furrowed, and when the smell of coffee hit your nostrils you felt your lips curving in a smile instantly. You let out a quiet thank you as your hand reached the cup, thanking whoever had left it there for you, and your smile didn’t flatter for a second while you finished it, closing your eyes as you felt it warm you up. You finished rather quickly after that, and just as the sky was starting to have a clearer tone, you were laying on your bed, falling asleep with a small smile still on your lips.

You got up with the sound of your alarm after a few hours of rest. And when you went to the hangar after eating some breakfast, ready for your new assignment, the X-Wing was gone. It wasn’t on its spot. For a moment you frantically looked for it with your roaming eyes. “Y/N!” You turned to the source of the sound with your whole body. It was a fellow mechanic, you didn’t catch his name just yet. “Hey, Dameron looked really happy with his ship this morning when he left with his squadron! He even said that he wants you to fix his X-Wing again!” He had a big smile on his face and seemed really excited. You felt your face heat up at his words. Dameron? As in the Poe Dameron? He was the pilot of the beautiful ship? You stuttered for a bit and gave him a nod, not knowing what to say. “Y-yeah… thanks? I… I need to know my next assignment…” You looked at him while you talked and saw his smile grow wider. “They were looking for you, just go that way”, you followed the direction your fellow mechanic gave you, thanking him.

After that you were busy all day with little tasks, distracted with them. When the sun was setting you heard commotion coming from the hangar, and you went there, maybe Black Squadron had arrived. Just as you entered the hangar you knew you were right. And for the sight of it, it had been a successful mission. You felt a big smile on your face, everyone looked really happy. Your eyes went to his ship. There he was. It was the first time you actually looked at him. You watched as he took off his helmet and ran a hand though his hair, laughing at something someone said, and you kept watching him as he got out of the cockpit and climbed down the ladder. “Where is she?”, oh, his voice. You felt suddenly hot and ashamed of being ogling him like this, you averted your eyes from him and instead saw someone pointing your direction. “There you are!” You looked at Poe again as he talked, was he looking at you? Was he looking for you? You started panicking as you watched him getting closer to you. This coulnd’t be happening. You coulnd’t stop looking at his face with a smug smile on his lips that only got bigger as he got to you. He looked too happy. You awkwardly waved your hand at him, not knowing what was he doing here, with you. “My ship! It has never worked so well! And the mission went so frickin’ great, I’m telling you, from now on you are my lucky charm!” You felt a smile forming on your lips and bounced a little on your toes, happy to hear him praise you like that. And then it happened. He put his hand on the back of your neck and pulled you to him pressing his soft lips on your forehead for a moment and whispering a quiet “thank you, Y/N” only for you to hear, feeling his lips move against your skin while he murmured it. And as fast as he was on you, he disappeared. Someone touched his back and he turned to talk vigorously with them. Your hand went to the place on your neck that he had touched, feeling your skin hot, and tingling against your own fingers. And then you realized, he had the softest lips you had never felt before.

After that, you often got to fix his ship, and if you were around when he had to go on a mission he would come to you and give you a kiss on your cheek. “A kiss goodluck, see ya’ sweetheart!” He winked at you as he climbed to the cockpit. Every time you felt his lips on your skin you felt it grow hot, and you hated how your fingers traced that same spot again and again for the rest of the day. You hated how it wasn’t anything special. He was a touchable person, and you had seen him kissing so many people already, on the cheek, on the forehead, on their hand. He just kissed everyone, with those sinful lips. And you hated how he felt unaffected every time he kissed you.

You wanted more. Every time you felt his lips on your skin, brushing it, your heart fluttered a bit, and your breath stopped for a second. And everytime you felt more frustrated. You wanted, no, you needed to feel his soft lips caressing the skin on your neck, and you needed them pressed against your own. You didn’t know how much of this you could take.

It was months after that first kiss that you finally snapped. You were eating lunch, and Poe was sitting next to you, his thigh bumping against yours. The whole squadron was there. And when something made him laugh really hard he would put his hand on your leg and squeeze it. God, he was driving you insane. You bit your bottom lip for what seemed to be the hundredth time to keep a soft whine that wanted to escape your mouth. The conversation finally turned to a more serious tone, so you could eat your lunch peacefully at least. You weren’t even listening to their talk, too focused on trying not to think on your legs pressed against each other. But you were aware when Poe stoped his rambling, and you could feel his eyes on you, getting you nervous. You couldn’t eat like this. So you got up with your plate on your hands. If you couldn’t eat at least you could go work, there were things to fix up that needed your attention. You hadn’t even got properly up when Poe grabbed your bare forearm, a question starting to form on his lips. You let out a yelp, his touch burning you, and moved your arm away from his hand too quickly. The sound of your plate crashing against the floor was heard on the whole cantina. You looked at Poe with regret on your eyes. And for what seemed like ages no one let out a word. The silence broke when a droid got to your table to start cleaning the mess you had done. You knew your face was red,and you averted your eyes from Poe’s, ashamed. He was looking at you with those brown eyes, you could tell he was confused, and you barely heard him when he said “...I’m sorry”. But you did. And it was not his fault.

You got on your knees and helped the droid besides its protests. You could hear people returning to their conversations and you let out a trembling breath trying to calm yourself before having to face Poe again. “Shit!” You closed your hand on a fist as you felt your finger sting with a cut. And Poe was there in a second, invading your space once more. When he reached out and grabbed your hand in his you hissed in pain. He gently opened your trembling hand with both of his. And then, he smiled at you as he brought your finger to his mouth. You couldn’t believe this, the feel of his hand wrapping around yours and his hot mouth against your fingertip. He even dared to stick his tongue out and lick it. This time you did left out a whine, sounding too much like a moan for your taste. “Stop”. Your voice sounded much more steady than what you imagined it would sound like. He stopped immediately and dropped your hand. You felt the cold air on your humid fingertip as you got up. “You gotta stop this, Poe”. Now he was the one that looked embarrassed. “Stop what?” You couldn’t take it anymore. “Stop touching me.” Your voice sounded pained when you said it. And he reached out to you but stopped himself just before he touched your skin. You could still feel the heat he was radiating. You could still smell him, and you just wanted to hide your face on the crook of his neck. You looked him firmly on the eyes, and then, just before you turned around, your eyes betrayed you as you looked at that sinful mouth and darted your tongue out to lick your bottom lip. You got out of the cantina fast enough that Poe didn’t have time to process what had just happened and go after you.

SM3: Nice Jerks are the Worst

I don't know about y'all, but I had big plans for 2020. Now, maybe those big plans will still happen, Idk. But, this was supposed to be our year! - that's what people say, right?? This was the year that you were going to go on that vacation. You were going to drop that dead beat spouse, leave that spouse with the kids, and run off to Mexico, right??!. You were going to start that business. Gain that weight. Come out of the closet. Finally tat that left butt cheek. You were going to stop doing hardcore drugs. Maybe this was going to be your year to start doing hardcore drugs. I'm not here to judge, only to ramble.

But, 2020 quickly turned to shit. Now, we're all looking for someone to blame. Someone has to pay for our horrible haircuts or hairiness, our newfound hatred for our families, and for plenty of much more serious stuff.

I, personally, like to turn to movies for lessons about life. And I think I have the perfect movie to help us figure out who to blame - you guessed it "Spider-Man 3"

This first attempt at a motion picture SM was doing so well. We loved Spidey (though some didn't care for Tobey Maguire, playing him).

Spidey and Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) are adorable. Then, this thing showed up and everything turned to shit (not unlike Covid-19).

Let's look into what went wrong, and who is to blame.

First, let me say that I really liked the action in this movie. There are three villains in this movie: Venom (played by Topher Grace), that thing you see above.

Green Goblin (played by James Franco), who is... a green goblin.

And Sandman (played by Tommy Church), who has a body that is now kinda made of sand - which seems silly if you pick it a part... though so does a man with the powers of a spider.

There was lots of action, and it was all shot well. There is one action scene where there is NO ONE around... I mean NO ONE. It's frickin NY. Peter Parker (not dressed as Spider-Man) and Green Goblin are causing all kinds of damage and making a lot of noise, and not ONE new yorker has anything to say about it? Unless you're a healthcare worker, I bet new yorkers are still cursing at each other from their homes. This was glaring, but Imma let it slide, cuz the action was good.

That's about all of the good I have to report:)

Quick plot recap:

1) MJ and Petey are on the rocks 2) James Franco is an asshole, trying to destroy Peter for killing his father (which he didn't) 3) Venom is trying to kill Spidey (what else is new??) 4) Venom, at one point, infects Peter Parker, to become "Black Spidey" - this, of course, is also when the people of the city started to hate him.

5) Oh, and Peter, mm! He's the worst. I've got something for him later.

There are two major reasons why people talk shit about this movie.

1st - Casting/Characters

Nobody is likeable in this movie

From the very first scene, MJ is singing to us, annnnd it's sooooo boring. I don't think it was supposed to be. Someone in the audience should have been booing. We can’t just allow entertainers to get comfortable, thinking that they can do whatever the hell that they want! - that’s how you end up with stuff like this

It was like, if Snow White were to perform a number for a large crowd.

Just Snow White - I ain't talking about no cute animals around or the suspense of menacing dwarves that might turn on Snow White at any moment. Not even a prince who might be gay (that’s the word on the streets). Just a long movie filled with songs from Snow White; that's what we're talking about. First, MJ bores me, then she's pathetically whining throughout the whole movie.

Sandman is cool (despite his love for striped shirts), but we don't really get to know him.

Side note: He gets his powers by accidentally getting trapped in a science experiment. The scientists, btw, ( And Lord knows what they were up to) knew that something could have been trapped in there, assumed it was a bird, and kept on going. See, this is why certain people don't trust y'all.

James Franco is James Franco (an asshole). Not worth a pic.

Venom doesn't really have a personality (and his host... well, he ain't no Tom Hardy)

PLUS, Peter Parker is a dick (again, we'll get to that later).

The most likeable person in this film is JJ Jameson, and we're not really supposed to like him.

A person with that look shouldn’t be your most likeable character.

Look at this stage -

Who is likeable up here? Fauci, maybe? But, betting by the amount of times that he puts his hands to his face,

- there are things he's not allowing himself to say, so though perhaps likeable, if we can fully trust him. And as far as Trump... Even Trump supporters can't HONESTLY say that they LIKE the man (I mean, if he weren't the prez, would you honestly want him around? - your family?). They certainly can't say that they trust him - though I guess the amount of people looking into ingesting cleaning products after Trump mentioned something along those lines, would beg to differ.

This is the group we're looking to for direction?!

And this is also a problem in the movie. I have to be able to like SOMEBODY!

I need to be able to trust someone to stop the cheesy-written shit storm that is this movie.

"Cheesy Shit Storm" - how bout that for a visual? :)

2nd - dance numbers!

I actually didn't mind the first one, when Peter is dancing through the streets.

Ha! Wow, he is going for it. Come get it while it’ s hot, ladies!

It's odd, but it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be funny, and it kinda is. You ever dance a lil bit while you're out at a store? I know I do; especially now that we're wearing pandemic masks - no one knows who I am. NBD to dance a bit in public, but if you keep going passed a certain point, it just becomes annoying.

That's why the second dance number is bad. Plus, it doesn't make any sense.

At this point MJ and Peter have broken up. She's singing in a bar, and Peter interrupts her song with a dance number (while using his new girlfriend to poke at MJ). Now, While MJ’s songs of boredom deserve interruption, she didn’t deserve that.

Venom is like a drug. Venom brings out the worst in a person. You're telling me that Peter Parker, with all of the rage built up from Uncle Ben and villains and his life not being all that great; the best or I should say "the worst" that he can do is Jazz hands? With all of his superpowers, he should be out there slaughtering everyone in sight. I mean, he did slap the shit out of MJ though (by "accident"). That's when he snapped out of the evil dance number. I don't know what kind of message that sends.

"MJ, it wasn't until I slapped the holy hell out of you that I realized the error of my ways, so... thank you? I'm just going to go on about my day now."

I see this misguided scene as a metaphor. Peter Parker is dancing around his issues:

His relationship with MJ has been bad. He's on that stuff (Venom). And honestly, MJ knows that he's Spider-Man. Why couldn't he have just explained to her what was happening?

"Sorry, baby. I got possessed by an alien again, you know how it is."

And he was dealing with the fact that the person who killed his uncle is on the loose. Another side note: MJ, even though they had just broken up, still cares for Peter while he's dealing with the news about Uncle Ben's killer. That's a damned good friend right there! - especially the way Peter had been acting towards her.

We've got to deal with stuff, people! We can't just get bad haircuts, wear weird clothes, and do drugs! Eventually, that will lead us to slapping the shit out of someone that we love. There are a lot of realities that we're prob not facing at the moment (and some we prob have no intentions of ever facing). A lot of things that we could have done to prevent certain things from escalating, but... we were busy doing our typical dance.

Peter was warned about Venom and did nothing about it. He told himself, "I got this", and clearly he didn't. Honestly, the whole city was screwing up by not helping Spider-Man at all. At the end, when the big fight is happening, and MJ is near death, everybody is just watching all of this go down. Where were the cops?! The S.W.A.T?! Other superheroes? New Yorkers themselves! - they're bold! But, to be fair, Venom came from outer space, so... it was a bit unprecedented; people were prob scared. I'll cut them and Spidey some slack.

You know who I won't cut any slack - Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker!

Peter Parker is a jerk. I'm thinking that Tobey's Peter Parker has always been a jerk; a nice jerk, but a jerk. Have you ever met a nice jerk? They do all of the things that a regualr jerk does, but they'll rationalize their behavior, and look puzzled when you react to their awfulness. I didn't notice this in the 1st movie, cuz I was just happy to get Spider-Man. I didn't notice in the 2nd movie, cuz those kids were just too darn cute. But, his niceness was so annoying in this movie. And he treated MJ horribly : He never listens to her, he’s always late, he only talks about himself, he’s too damned nice, he never knows when they’re in a fight, he kisses other women right in front of her and then is like “What did I do?”

I kept wanting her to punch Peter out; he would have deserved it.

The foundation of the character of the 1st Spider-Man was a problem from the start! If the foundation is shaky, then - whew! I'm glad that we finally fixed it:)

Plus, he never said he was sorry. He did one of those "Well, I'm not perfect." things. She ain't asking for perfection, just quit being a jerk!

A better movie would have been if MJ had been infected by Venom. For starters, she would have given a better performance, in the beginning. Something more like this -

She would have banged Peter's friends. She would have destroyed her critics. And most importantly, she wouldn't have taken any shit from Peter. That could have been the main plot. Instead of a convultued blend of three villains around the nice jerkiness of Peter, it would have been Spider-Man vs MJ - beatening each other up all throughout the city; though I guess that would be considered domestic violence. But, why dance around real issues out there!

It could have been a family-friendly movie about drug abuse (Venom) and domestic violence... and possibly some make-up sex in the middle of the city. But, after that, one of them, if not both, are going to jail! We gotta deal with the problems, people!

Grade: an entertaining D+

I did enjoy it. It wasn't as bad as I remember it, and I'd prob watch it again. But, I can't deny that on a technical level, it's crap.

"Who’s to blame?" isn't really the question. It's more "Who deserves what percentage of the blame?" There's a lot of blame to go around here... even to us who enabled Peter's jerkiness in the first two movies.

I like the direction that we're going in now.

A better Spidey A better MJ Better villains

And even a better Aunt May

- looking all good with Tony Stark.

- imagine Tony aggressively flirting with the older one

And just leave

He thought you were talking to him for some prank

But the boi has no idea how fine he is

Christine will talk to Jeremy just so you could talk to Michael

But he’d always disappear off to 7/11

You were determined to one day call Michael Mell your boyfriend

One day you got sick of his bs

You stood up on top of a table in the cafeteria a week before prom

“YO I’M GAY FOR YOU MICHAEL MELL, WILL YOU GO TO PROM WITH ME?”

Even for a theater nerd, you were hella extra

His mind went into overdrive

You?????Like him????

And you’re also gay?????????????

He doesn’t really know what to do

So he panics and leaves

Which makes you panic

You must’ve done something wrong

You caught up with him later

He expected you to say it was all a joke

But no you came up to him with an entire speech about how you were sorry if you made him uncomfortable

Then something just clicked inside him

You were still rambling when he gave you that signature bright smile

You almost swooned

He hesitantly took your hand

“I-it’s fine, I was just a bit surprised that’s all but if you really want me to go to prom with you then we’ve got a date”

Yes that was a Bob Marley reference

The nerd

“You’re such a dork”

You laughed and this time it was his turn to swoon

So he went as your prom date

Before you asked him out he was just planning to skip it

His moms were so proud

T H O U S A N D S O F P I C T U R E S

His insta was full of pics of you bc he was so happy to have you as his date

As soon as you saw him you just thought ‘Welp if I was straight, not any more’

You met up with Christine and Jeremy and went in one vehicle

You guys thumb wrestled to decide where to eat

Michael let you win because you’re cute

You knew that so that’s how everyone ended up eating Sushi and slushies

When you actually got there Poor Michael wanted to stay by the snacks

You dragged him to the dance floor

“C’mon Mikey, why not!”

“Promise you won’t laugh”

“Yeah”

“I’m totally helpless with dancing”

You resisted the urge to sing Hamilton

“So am I, but it’s fun. If I had to choose one person to look ridiculous with, it’d be you”

HIS FACE TURNED AS RED AS HIS HOODIE

That was the moment he realized he was in love with you

“That’s so cheesy”

“Whatever, come dance with me Mell”

There was an all-out shipping war between the power couples You/Michael, Rich/Jake and Christine/Jeremy

Eventually, you and Michael won

No one can even be mad

Y’all so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute

When you and Michael made official Rich flipped

He was your biggest shipper tbh

Jake shipped #stagedorks more tho

Chloe and brook shipped RichJake

Despite that Jer and Chris have double dates with you all the time

Your parent/parent/guardian adores Michael

He’s so polite when he talks to them

He really wants to make a good impression!

He almost had a panic attack before meeting them

“They’re gonna hate me”

He wasn’t good enough for you anyways, how could he fool them into thinking he was?

Instead of going into a whole paragraph about how he was in fact good enough you just grabbed him

Forced him to lie down with you

And started to hum some Bob Marley song under your breath

Mostly bc you didn’t remember the words

For a while he just stayed in your arms while listening to your heartbeat

You rested your head on top of his and he was looking at you with heart eyes

After half an hour he calmed down

You realized this would be a good time to reassure him

“Listen So what if they don’t like you, I’m hopelessly in love with you so I guess you’re stuck with me “

He mocked annoyance with the biggest smile on his face

But he knew you guys were going to be okay

You both get addicted to each other's interests

You ended up spending hours playing video games with him

And he ended up binge watching RuPaul's drag race

He pretends to hate it and oo it for the cuddles

But both of ya get really invested

SPEAKING OF CUDDLES THE BOI LOVES THEM AND WILL NOT BE TOO ASHAMED TO ASK

ALL THE TIME

“Babeeee, cuddle meeeee”

“Michael we’re in the middle of English”

“I love you too babe”

You had to convince the teacher to bring everyone to the library

You guys cuddle on a tiny ass sofa

But when you saw his little smile as he snuggled into your chest

So cute

You guys weren’t the only out and proud gay couple in the school though

When dealing with intolerant assholes you didn’t take any crap

“Being gay is a sin”

“That hairstyle should be a sin so FUCK OFF KAREN”

One day a bunch of kids from another school saw you and Michael holding hands

Later when you were walking home they cornered and beat the crap out of you

You had a black eye and a bunch of bruises

The next day you skipped school cause you didn’t want Michael to worry

After 3 days you came to school with sunglasses cause and a turtleneck

Cause you were slick

He knew something was wrong

It was hot as Jake’s damn house outside

And you were wearing a frickin turtleneck

His paranoid ass thought you were hiding hickeys

He pulled you aside during lunch and asked if everything was okay and if you wanted to break up with him

He was so panicked

Your heart broke

“No of course not, just some guys saw me and you holding hands and uhm wasn’t so nice”

“Did they hurt you?”

“Not really it doesn’t hurt that much-“

“Show me”

You took off your shirt

He couldn’t admire your bare chest because there was a giant bruise forming on your stomach

And smaller ones on your shoulders

How could people hurt his baby like that?????

He was about to cry

“Mikey it’s fine-“

“No, it’s not!”

Tears were pouring out of eyes by now

He felt so guiltily

Someone he loved got hurt again

And he didn’t do anything about it

You hated that he was blaming himself

“I’ll call the school and tell them what happened, it’s not your fault that people are jerks”

He still felt horrible

So you both ditched the rest of school for a RuPaul's drag race marathon and a bunch of cuddles

He just loves you so muchhhhhhh Treat him right

The Grim Grotto

- No Widdershins????? He’s gone???? Why is he gone???? W H A T

- I mean, I didn’t necessarily like him per se, but I just want to know why they removed him?????

- The thing is, I actually preferred it without him there. Huh.

- THE GREAT UNKNOWN IS TERRIFYING WHAT THE HECK

- Fiona’s glasses are just as ridiculous as I imagined them being thank you so much Netflix.

- Klaus has a cruuuuuush ;)))))

- Fernald is trying his gosh dang hardest I am so proud of him and I feel so bad.

- But apparently he really hates telegraph machines dang.

- “yES I kNOw yOU wANt tHe sUGaR bOwL” added 20 years to my life.

- Carmelita is STILL annoying, yay!!

- I LOVE the foreshadowing in part 1 about Fernald’s relationship with Widdershins, and about his relationship with Fiona, goshhhh. I am STILL a slut for foreshadowing.

- The Medusoid Mycelium is actually so scary.

- PHIL!!!!!! AAAAAAAA I’M SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM!!!!!!!!

- The underwater scenes are awesome!!!!

- The Carmelita is terrifying.

- THEY INCLUDED THE HORRENDOUS EVIL LAUGHING I’M SO HAPPY

- The return of the “Get a room” joke.

- Mr. Poe is still as useless as ever.

- THE RETURN OF “LITERALLY VS FIGURATIVELY” YESSSS!!!

- Lemony Snicket talking about the water cycle y e s

- Fernald being told he wasn’t part of the family actually hurt so much, poor Fernald :((

- COUNT OLAF STABBING HIS FINGER O U C H

- Quigley was back????? I DON’T MIND I LOVE QUIGLEY!!!

- This is less about the show and more about ASOUE in general but: WHAT’S IN THE SUGAR BOWL?!?!?!!?!!!?!?!?!!!

- I loved seeing the parts where Fernald was loosening up and realizing the mistakes he made. You could SEE his progress.

- CARMELITA’S SINGING AGSGSVFHJ

- No poems???? No coded poems???? Where are the coded poems????????

- I really like how they showed Fernald and Fiona planning their escape!!!!

- I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they showed the flashback of Fernald setting the fire!!!!!!

- Okay, I don’t what it is, but I just...really loved that kiss scene. I don’t even really ship the two, I just loved how it was handled. It wasn’t drawn out, it wasn’t over dramatic, it wasn’t even at a very revealing angle. It was short, simple, and sweet. It was brief, and generally didn’t have much focus on it. Just like in the book. And I LOVE THAT. THANK YOU NETFLIX.

- Carrier Crows!!!!!!

- That knowing look on Fernald’s face when Violet said “she’s our sister” broke my heart.

- Fernald and Fiona hugging stitched it back together

- Violet’s birthday :((((((

- Sunny’s almost-death could’ve been sadder imo, but it was still really good.

- KITKITKITKITKITKITKIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Okay, it’s time for me to rant: I LOVE THE MORAL AMBIGUITY. I love the message of “no one is just noble or wicked”. It’s one of my all time favourite messages in books. Or really in anything. I LOVE the message that both Fernald and Fiona convey, that message of “I may be doing something that is wicked, but I am sticking by the side of the person I love, my family, because I am NOT going to abandon them, and I love them”. I LOVE THAT MESSAGE SO FRICKIN MUCH. I’m not advocating for you all to go commit arson for your siblings, but what I’m SAYING is that things aren’t always black and white. Things aren’t always just noble or wicked. They’re a chef’s salad. And I LOVE THAT THEY CONVEY THIS. I would do so much for my sister because SHE’S MY SISTER AND I LOVE HER. And I love how Netflix retained this moral ambiguity. Fernald isn’t noble or wicked, he’s morally grey, but HE STILL HAS STANDARDS. There’s only so far his nobility or wickedness will go, you know, JUST LIKE AN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING. This just turned into me just talking about the book, but basically what I’m saying is that I’m so glad that the show picked up all of this from the book and RETAINED IT. This morally questionable behaviour, but deep rooted sibling love, is why I love Fernald and Fiona’s relationship so frickin much. Thank you Netflix. And thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Well, I hope that made at least some semblance of sense, I just got really passionate and started rambling, so sorry if I don’t make any sense! Anyways, these were two AMAZING episodes, and even though they changed a lot from the book, they retained the important things, and I am so so happy about them.
