Ok so this may seem random but I just binge watched bobs burger, all 10 seasons of it. And I had always heard it was like American Dad or family guy, hell when I googled "what to watch if you liked Bob's burgers" or looked for shows similar American Dad and family guy came up. Now I hated family guy and American Dad growing up, my dad watched it and I just never enjoyed it. But I watched a compilation on YouTube of Bob's burgers and it seemed decent so I decided to give it a shot and im glad I did. Unlike American Dad or family guy, two shows that have the goal to offend people, and who's humor heavily relies on steriotype or references, Bob's burgers doesn't feel dated, doesn't rely on steriotype, it bases it's humor on putting these likeable character that you love into different scenarios and having them reacting to the world around them. And unlike a lot of shows, like I said watched all 10 seasons and it never really got repetitive or boring or annoying I honestly enjoyed every episode, every episode felt new and fresh, even if the idea has been done before. Now there are several things I enjoy about Bob's burgers and I just kind of felt like talking about it so

First, they all, not only love eachother, but also actually like eachother. Now I feel like a lot of people don't quite get what I mean by that. I personally love my mom, I do not like her, I don't like the way she thinks or acts, I always say that If I had met her at school or at work or something and was not related to her I wouldn't like her. I've seen many siblings who love eachother, they'll defend eachother and take care of eachother but for the most part avoid eachother especially if they're at the same school, they don't go out of their way to talk or hang out with eachother. This family all seem to actually like eachother though.

Which leads me to my next point. The Belcher siblings are personally my favorite part of the show, I was actually confused when I first started seeing them all together, because most shows seem to have that sibling relationship of love but not like, and while that's fine and can be realistic, I don't very often see a show that shows a good healthy sibling relationship of siblings actually liking eachother which can also be realistic and is a good thing to teach kids. The Belcher siblings are great, they of course defend eachother and take care of eachother but they're also friends. They walk together in between classes, theyre all in the same friend group, they go out of their way to hang out with eachother and play togetherand have fun together, they eat lunch together and scheme together. Of course they also spend time by themselves and will hang out with their mutual friends without their siblings and have friends outside of the mutual friend group, and of course they get into arguments and disagree with eachother a lot, what siblings don't? But for the most part they get along very well. You won't see any of them embarrassed to be seen with their younger siblings in or out of school, even Tina, the teenager of the group who's going through a lot for the typical teen problems including being embarrassed often and caring a lot about what others in her grade think, will hang out with her little brother and sister, and take part in their mischief, and eat lunch with them and doesn't have a problem with it.

The kids aren't the only one with a uniquely healthy relationship when it comes to these types of shows, we also have their parents, Bob and Linda. Bob isn't the steriotypicaltypical husband that's often portrayed in these types of shows, Bob isn't the husband that complains about how his wife is always nagging or jokes about how being married is awful. Linda isn't the steriotypicaltypical wife, Linda doesn't complain about how her husband can't take care of himself, or seem disgusted by her husband or seem exasperated by the kind of person her husband is. Strangely enough they seem to actually love eachother, and support and encourage eachother and care about eachother and enjoy spending time together and enjoy working together. They enjoy making small fun competitions with eachother and having fun and laughing together. They seem to bring out the best of eachother. And yes they aren't exactly in their honeymoon phase, and may not have that "spark" they first had when they first got together, and they're not exactly the pinnacle of romance, they are however a good representation of a happily married couple who genuinely love and like eachother and have been married for years. And of course they each have their flaws and they have their disagreements and arguments but who doesn't?

And the Belcher kids love and like their parents as well and enjoy being with them and involve them in their antics as well.

And they love and like their kids as well. And given each of the children it would be expected in a show like this for one or two of the children to be considered "disappointments" or "not as good as the favorite child" there's usually a kid who's clearly the favorite and one or more kids who's looked down upon by the parents and everyone else in shows like these, however Bob and Linda genuinely love and are very proud of each of their kids and they both have good relationships with all of their kids. Even in the episode where they spent the entire time showing just how much of a screw up gene was, Bob took gene aside and said that while gene could get distracted and could mess up at times that he was still very proud of him and loved him.

Bob and Linda support their kids in everything they do, even in the episode where gene got interested in "table setting" and got into a competition and his parents didn't quite understand it or understood why someone would enjoy it they still helped and encouraged him and expressed how proud they were that he found something he enjoyed doing.

It's a very healthy family and it's enjoyable to watch.

The show itself, although it has 10 seasons, doesn't ever get annoying or repetitive, every episode seems fresh, like I said binge watched the entire show and was actually pretty sad when I got the final episode and realized I was done and couldn't watch anymore, although the first season was great it got better over time, and personally I thought each season was better then the last.

I like that all the characters seem realistic, their was several episodes with the Belcher kids where I could imagine my younger self and my friends and brother doing similar things. And like I said the parents though loving also seemed like a realistic couple that have been married for years.

I also liked the consitancy. A lot of characters over time will become an exaggerated version of their former selves. For example a character like Patrick star or homer Simpson or Cosmo from fairly odd parents, who start off the show kind of dumb and clueless but not annoyingly so and are still enjoyable, over time will become so damn moronic that you wonder how they've managed to go this long without accidentally killing themselves and it becomes annoying and frustrating and they're no longer likeable.

None of the characters in this show have a character flaw that becomes so extreme they become unlikable, in fact all of the characters in the belcher family are likeable, and stay consistent, thats the point, you want to see them go through these things and want to see them win and come out on top because of how likeable they are. Louise is mischief, she's a prankster, but it's never to the point where she's unlikeable, she's still a good kid who usually doesn't go to far and when she does shes quick to see her mistake, apologize, and try to make it right, if anything a lot of times her pranks are to help defend other people or "bring justice" to people who have been wronged.

She may be a bit extreme but she's still a good kid and you want to see her come out on top. Gene can be loud and extreme and not really get hints, but he wants to befriend people and wants to help people, even though he can be gullible and a bit clueless and as a result can easily get roped into stuff, he tries to help people and make things right when he sees things going south, he's a sweet kid.

And Tina can be innapropriate, and can be selfish at times and not always see the big picture, but like gene and Louise when she sees that she's messed up she immediately tries to fix it and make things right, she has a stronger moral compass then either of her siblings and usually the voice of reason and helps people out whatever situation they're in, including her siblings who can often end up in some pretty bad situations, and is willing to take the fall for the sake of others.

Bob can by cynical, and a bit extreme about things he cares about (work, turkeys, Thanksgiving in general) and when he gets extreme he won't think things all the way through he'll just react, but he means well, he cares about his family and will put aside his obsessions for his family and is willing to sacrifice those things for his family. Hell one of the things hes obsessed with is Thanksgiving, he will make sure everything goes PERFECTLY and will get very upset if they're not perfect and will go crazy trying to make it perfect, but the reason Thanksgiving is his favorite holiday and the reason he cares so much is because of his love for his family and because Thanksgiving to him is being with your family. And even he is willing to sacrifice his Thanksgiving to be there for his friend, teddy, who's alone and without his family.

Linda can also be extreme and not think things all the way through but like bob, she means well, the times she gets extreme is typically when it involves her family and trying to do everything in her power to make them happy, and to do what she considers the morally right thing to do, even if it means going a little crazy and taking things a bit to far while doing so. I think a good example of this was when Louise got in trouble at school for causing problems, she was causing problems because a couple of kids were picking on a smaller kid and she was attempting to defend the kid, Linda thinks it's morally wrong to punish Louise for defending a kid and breaks Louis out of detention from the window (also breaking the school's AC in the process) to get her some ice cream all while having to avoid mr.frond, the school counselor who's around the same area. It's a good example of how it makes for a funny episode and flawed characters because of how extreme they can get but how they're motivation and reasonings makes them likeable and makes you root for them.

Anyway. I know this is kind of random it just kind of bothered me that I don't really see bobs burgers being talked about very often and I see it being compared to American Dad and family guy when, from what I've seen of the two shows, it's not really similar at all

[irkenheretic]

okay i promised id do it and im doing it: Explaining The Plot Of That AU I’m Vague About: The Post

(as i was preparing to write this i actually got my 250th follower, which slapped)

so i’m just gonna start with the simple version, which is this: it’s a rebel AU which primarily centers around the tallest, who are both defective. they give up on trying to make any meaningful changes as figureheads, and instead direct their attention to being involved with the “neo defect revolution,” or NDR. they do manage to make one change as tallest- there is a garbage dump planet turned into a sanctuary for defectives (who in this au are executed once discovered,) and eventually enough of the populace finds out about it that the tallest have to deal with it. they finesse their way into kicking it out of the empire, so now it’s its own planet with its own rules, governments, and most importantly, immigration policies and protections

a lot of stuff happens and it’s gonna be structured using arcs, and each arc has a separate protagonist/deuteragonist/tritagonist lineup (but that doesnt mean the same lineup won’t be used multiple times!) and yes the insane list of OCs are for this au alone: some arcs are very OC-centric, some have OCs as supporting characters, and a couple are all-OC or mostly-OC. 

its going to be very longform and it’ll span from the tallest’s elite training days to twenty years after zim arrives on earth. (the 20 year gap btwn zim arriving on earth and the story proper isnt as tightly plotted as later tho.) the point is to see how a revolution on the scale of the NDR works, who was fucked over by defact laws, who was fucked over by other laws, etc. theres a lot of lore and a lot of headcanons i made for this AU and even a conlang. i am a being of hubris. itll be a series of fics, some multichapter and some oneshots. 

the series as a whole is gonna be called Invader Zim: Annexed or just Annexed for short. its a pun on an irken word that sounds similar but means the exact opposite. i am not explaining more bc itll be explained in the fic itself. but thats why the tag for it is #anx lmao

i didnt mean for this to be as long as it got but under the cut im gonna breakdown some of the early arcs:

so it all starts with a fanfic called Love Is The H-Word (no the “h-word” isn’t “hell.) it centers around red and purple as elites-in-training, who do a little whoopsie and have an egg. purple doesnt wanna smuggle it into a smeetery, bc then he’ll never see it again, so they go to the defect sanctuary (still a part of the empire at this point.) purple knows he’s defective while red has a hard time accepting that he is as well, due to events from his past. but being around all these other defects are starting to wear down his denial, and the fic is all about that. it also sets up some plot stuff, like how defects adopted a self-identifier in the word “heretic,” hence the sanctuary being named, “heretirk.” (hey look my url!) (no, the “h-word” is not heretic, either.) 

i dont wanna say what happens in that fic bc spoilers, but stuff Happens. its also when we meet some ocs that end up being important, and the existence of others are foreshadowed. this is also where we meet the tallests’ future advisor, rarl kove, for the first time, as a local who decides to keep them company. purple bonds with kove due to their shared interest in politics, while red reluctantly bonds with titch, a young irken (a smeet in heretirken standards, an adult in imperial standards- did i mention he and red are roughly the same age? lol) who is interested in military stuff and thrill-seeking and general destruction. titch is pissed because he claims his father is stealthing on devastis as a military commander, but won’t let titch sneak in as a soldier, as titch is deaf. 

(fun facts: in the au, “titch” is regional slang for “a little bit.” ironically, titch the character is above-average in height.)

due to titch’s deafness, he developed “gesturespeak,” irken sign language, so he can communicate. this existing becomes important later

a oneshot called invade the system is right after h-word in publishing order. it details zim’s exploits in leaving foodcourtia, where he was assigned and infiltrating the invading academy he eventually graduates from (in this au, zim is too short to be an invader, which sucks because the hight minimums for the military are really short to begin with lmao)

the fic chronoligically after H-Word focuses on red and purple being back in their platoon on devastis, specifically red navigating his training and his relationships with two defective platoonmates, pon and zi (who are in h-word a little,) after the realization that he too is defective. it also focuses on how the irken military works, and how they train their soldiers. 

the first arc overall focuses on red and purple going thru training and such, and ends after they graduate and are on the field, working to get commander rank. (they planned to gain commander rank then leave and go back to heretirk to train an army there, as heretirk has.... no army.) in the middle of this, they’re pulled out and told they are to become the next tallest. they debate over staying and taking the job or just running to heretirk, and they ultimately decide to stay.

the next arc i call the “bridge,” tbh. its less tightly plotted than the other arcs; fics are spread apart from each other chronologically and all that. it spans the time after the tallest being appointed to a little after zim arrives on earth. it also has a couple of anthologies focusing on imperial defects- each chapter is a new character. these guys are all important and the easiest way for me to introduce their backstories without cluttering everything up is anthology style, lmao. other things that happen are a look into how the tallest work, eventually culminating with the resolution of the tallest having to Deal With Heretirk, tenn’s rescue from meekrob, and zim on earth obtaining a half-irken smeet named pip due to stealing an Unethical Science Experiment from dib (which is pip.) the bridge is basically just. “heres some stuff that happens between point A and point B so when we get to point B you’re not confused as all hell.” 

the next arc focuses on zim. in the first fic, pip is sick and zim is trying to get into his neighbor’s pants, to cope. this basically sets up that zim in this au has no idea how to find personal fulfillment in living- he’s only OK if he focuses on pleasing someone else, be it taking care of pip or doting on the neighbor, some rando human named piqu (pronounced, “peek.”) this is mainly a cute romance story with the underlying veneer of “a child is slowly and painfully dying” in the background. fun! 

without spoiling the circumstances, zim and pip end up on heretirk, which at this point is its own independent planet. pip is in the hospital for most of it so zim has to do his own thing. computer fans rejoice bc hes basically zims dad at this point, who tells him to go outside and get some fresh air and talk to the locals instead of schmooping or screaming in anxiety. im sneakily introducing more characters like ini, the “next-gen zim;” a short bio-engineer (she works on PAKs) who was constantly passed over by everyone because they dont trust someone that short or they dont trust someone that spazzy, even though shes actually brilliant. also her brother mo, who’s a pilot that NOBODY will teach military-class ships to (at this point, HTK has a population of ex-military that had their old ships, but still no formal army) because he doesnt talk and they think hes “slow” as a result. for the curious, he is physically able to talk most times, he just doesnt like it. zim ends up teaching him how to fly military-class which ends up being important laterrr

(haha ini and mo. wheres meenie and minie? ILL GET TO THEM)

no really, theyre quadruplets. named ini, myni, minie, and mo. these are real characters. 

minie isnt introduced till later. shes too cool to be the side character in someone elses arc. she is feel uncomfortable when we are not about her.

myni is busy palling around with pip and pip’s friend “elly” (real name elevenn, with two N’s.) elly is a half-meekrob War Crime Baby and tenn’s smeet. he has vision problems (he can “see” energy signatures of things, as opposed to conventional sight. everything is monochrome and he has to really focus to see like, words on a paper. also fuck tablets) but the trade-up is telekinetic powers (that he cant use too much or his brain will melt. fun!) this isnt relevant until the arc AFTER zim’s, where they end up poking around a historical site due to myni’s interest in that kind of thing, and they find logs of an old revolution (that was actually pretty successful in their goal, before they were caught and executed,) that lead them to a man named lefy. he helps with revolutions and helped these guys, and the trio go to seek him out; myni because he wants to impress his parents with helping them, pip because after they’ve recovered enough to walk around and do stuff, feel like they need to justify the choice to save their life and make their dad proud and all that, elly because he doesnt want pip to get hurt and die. And thats where the stuff REALLY starts happening and i cant tell u more sorry

this seemed kind of disjointed but thats bc i cant really be too detailed otherwise id like.... spoil it lmfao. but thats the summary of the first few arcs.

Not sure if you’ll allow this or not but I’ll try. Before Christmas is over and I’m officially late. How about Josuke, Kakyoin and senku (see? Since it’s from more than one fandom dunno if it’s alright) where their friend is working on Christmas decorations and suddenly picks them up and when they ask “what are you doing” they just respond with “putting the star on the Christmas tree.” (If the multiple fandom thing messes with the master list you can drop senku :3)

|| you, my friend, have saved me in the way the way that because i dont have time to write a christmas special - i answered your’s before the day ended to be one instead ! and also because i wanted to write smth for Kakyoin and Senku but didn’t have the ideas :D i dont mind doing multifandom requests ! though im going to put Senku in my next post, separately so i hope that’s ok ! this took a whole day to write since its Christmas so i’ve been busy so i hope the poor quality isn’t too bad ! [ btw theyre all sort of romantic to some extent ? i hope thats ok ! ]

Josuke + Kakyoin | Christmas Tree Decorating

Noriaki Kakyoin

“Oh honey, could you pass me the red bauble please?”

When the words reached his ears, Kakyoin raised his head from the box he was shuffling through and nodded in response to the request his wife had made. “No problem,” he curtly said, picking up the aforementioned decoration and standing up to hand it over to the shorter lover, smiling when you gave him your own grin.

Decorating the Christmas tree was a special tradition between the two of you since it gave a sense of family within your home and allowed you to bond both in silence and verbally whenever one of you made a silly comment or cracked a small joke.

Nimble fingers carefully took the fragile ball and hooked it’s string onto the evergreen’s branch, it’s evergreen aspect coming from the fact it was artificial, something Kakyoin and you decided would be the best choice financially and it would make things infinitely more convenient than going out every year to try and fit a large tree into a car. As you pulled away from the tree, arms wrapped around your torso and the red headed man rested his chin upon your shoulder, humming in content at the hard work you two poured into turning the once plain tree into a true Christmas living room centre piece.

“It’s just perfect, you did so well,” Kakyoin praised, turning his face a little to press a kiss upon your cheek to further his compliment. You then turned your own head turned to the side to kiss Kakyoin fully, tired fingers stroking over his pale cheek that was accustomed to your gentle affections and welcoming touch.

“Hush you, you did as much as me! I would still be working on this thing if I didn’t have my wonderful husband to help me.” You exalterd, removeing your hand from him by dragging your fingertips from his cheek down to his jaw, moving your body away from his so that you could place your hands on your hips in a determined manner. You then added, “we’re not done yet, though!”

“What do you mean?” Kakyoin tilted his head to the side, looking the tree up and down to attempt to understand. Baubles? Check. Tinsel? Check. Lights? Check. There wasn’t a single free space for anything more on the tree so he was struggling to see what else you could want really.

“Kakyoin don’t you see?” You jokingly scolded, pointing upwards, “we haven’t added the star yet!”

The ex-Crusader made an ‘o’ shape with his mouth, almost slapping a hand over his face over his mistake. The star! How could he forget? It was only the most satisfying thing to add to the tree, especially when you both spent hours a couple of years ago choosing the perfect one. You both had almost settled on angel instead because choosing a star was strangely difficult, though you both realised that a winged person would take even longer to pick.

“Of course! Sorry about that,” he chuckled, albeit a little nervously due to his mistake, “let me put it up then.” With that, he swooped down to pick you up into his arms, arms around the back of your knees and the side of his face resting against your stomach until he look up to see your face with a mixed expression of shock and confusion.

“Honey, what are you doing?” You gasped, momentarily worried that you would fall back against the tree until you realised that Kakyoin was both too strong and reliable for that. Still, you were perplexed as to why he had picked you up.

“Well, you are my star, so it’s fitting if we put you up there.”

Kakyoin gave you the sweetest look, eyes soft with love while you stared back with wide eyes and heart skipping a beat. “Noriaki... You’re so lame.~”

Your husband then gasped at that, letting you down and mocking a look of hurt. “How could you? After I gave you all my love in one sentence!” His uncharacteristic offence over your words made you giggle and led you to give him a sweet kiss, which quickly made up for your insult.

“Come on you big cherry baby, we got a star to put up.”

“‘Big cherry baby’ ? Really?”

“You know it!”

Josuke Higashikata

It was your duty to decorate the school’s christmas tree this year, and luckily for you it wasn’t all that large either so a one man job was not impossible or too straining. You had even finished most of the tree by now, carefully plotting where to place the baubles so they were evenly spaced and wrapping around lights to make the whole thing stand out was much easier than one would have thought. The emotional reward was amazing too, knowing that you had taken up a job everyone else complained about it and refused was pretty gratifying.

Taking a step back from the tree, you admired your handy work. None of the lights were turned on but even so the tree looked immaculate! You had even hand made a couple of decorations with the help of Koichi and Rohan before hand to add to your own trees at home, so you used the spares to add a fresh look on the school’s old, reusable tree that apparently always looked the same according to the older years. Honestly if you weren’t commended publicly in the next school assembly, you would have to complain. Well, you wouldn’t because that would be pompous and bit too much effort, but you knew you deserved at least some praise from the staff who should really be the ones doing all the work.

Still, there was something off about the tree, as though you had forgotten something...

Ah, the star!

How could you forget the most important and noticeable thing of all? You knocked your knuckles onto the top of your head for being so mindless before moving over to a couple of boxes, rummaging through a few until you found the gold painted star, the sides perfectly coated with silver glitter to make the whole thing pop. “There we go, now if I’m not mistaken you belong up there, Mr Star,” you giggle, mumbling to yourself in the most dorkiest way that you were glad no one was in the immediate vicinity to overhear you.

The tree may not have been colossal however it wasn’t easy to reach the top, so a teacher had given you a stool to stand upon when need be, not that you trusted it to support you whole heartedly. Stepping onto the stool, you balanced on your tiptoes to help you lean up and place the star on the top of the tree, something that was proving to be more difficult than you had expected. “Just a little further,” you urged yourself on, trying your best to reach.

You really should have expected that things were going too perfectly as a sudden crack was heard, and if you had to guess, it was from the leg of the stool.

Sucking in a harsh breath, you felt the weight of both you and the stool give out, sending you falling backwards with the star hugged close to your chest to keep it from breaking. Your priorities really weren’t in order.

As all good stories go, the pain of your back hitting the floor had never came and instead you felt firm yet comfortable arms wrap around your body. Your eyes were squeezed shut from fear of the impact, your lids remaining closed even when your were caught as a part of you assumed you just hadn’t hit the ground yet, even though the fall wasn’t nearly as long as you made it out to be in your head. You only finally opened your eyes when you heard a warm, friendly voice say, “hey, you know I caught you right? You can open your eyes!”

You peaked from under your eye lids to see the familiar face of Josuke, a wide grin on his face like he was proud that he had caught you just in the nick of time, and his whole face was lit up like a Christmas tree. Speaking of actually.

“Ah, thank you so much Josuke!” You hugged him as best as you could while being held in a bridal style and holding onto the star, pressing your cheek against his to which his own turned pink slightly, a laugh escaping him. It really was a good thing he had caught you or else who knows what could have happened? If the star broke the school staff would sure be against you.

“It’s no problem, I’m glad I came to see how you were doing now! Guess you could say I’m your knight in shining armour,” Josuke teased, making you laugh along with him. It was clear that no matter what, he really had a gift for making you ten times happier than before. “I guess I can,” you responded, looking over to the now broken and fallen stool, trailing your eyes up to the top of the tree and groaning. “That’s just great, there’s no way I can put the star up now!”

Your distressed tone made Josuke frown a little. He didn’t really see why it would be such a big deal, especially when it was the staff’s fault for giving you a stool with rotting wood legs and it wasn’t like it should be your job to decorate the tree. Lazy bastards.

Then, he had an idea. He placed you down onto the floor to which you thanked him for until you yelped out in surprise. With a mischievous sounding chuckle, Josuke’s hands grabbed your hips from behind and he squatted down. You turned your head to give him a questioning look and only got a wink in return, your body suddenly being hoisted up up so that you were sitting on Josuke’s shoulders, a leg on either side of his head. “J-Josuke! What are you doing?!”

“Huh? Isn’t it obvious [F/N]? I’m helping you put the star up on the tree,” he replied, his words coming out much smoother than they usually did, almost as though he was flirting with you. You flustered a little at the thought though you were unsure why, he was just helping you out! It wasn’t like he was insinuating anything or even praising you after all.

Once again, you meekly thanked him and gripped the base of the star, slotting the hole underneath it onto the top spike of the pine tree with caution, praying that nothing broke or that you made him uncomfortable by having to lean forwards. “There! The job is done and I don’t have to spend a second longer on this tree,” you proudly declared, expecting some sort of congratulations from the highschooler beneath you. After a long pause, you spoke again, “uh, you can put me down now Josuke.”

“Hm? Oh sorry, I thought we weren’t done yet, since y’know, you’re the star here.” He said, his flirty tone returning with a hint of comedy in it, probably because he couldn’t even take himself seriously in the currenr situation.

You almost choked at his words, heat rushing to your cheeks and you whacked the pompadour that blocked your ability to see his face. “Josuke, that was so cheesy! Just put me down already and help me clean up!”

“Ok, ok, whatever you say lil’ star,” he teased, crouching down to let you jump off his shoulders and giving you a side hug afterwards. “You have to admit though, that was pretty smooth.”

Rolling your eyes, you nudged him with a smile before pushing him away towards the pile of empty boxes that once hosted the large amount of decorations you used, “yeah sure, whatever you say Casanova, let’s just get to work.”

a/n: hey guys. there's a lot going on right now in the US. my heart is heavy seeing it all. as a little girl i was terrified of cops. no little girl should be scared of someone who is supposed to protect her and everyone around her. i plan to help fight for BLACK LIVES MATTER. i hope you all will do what you can as well. i wrote this after my parents told me they don't want me near the protests. my dad said he's seen videos of people being pushed to the floor by cops for just standing there. i told him i would be okay with becoming one of those videos if it means people will keep seeing what's going on. so that people will finally see that ALL. COPS. ARE. BASTARDS. i wanted to use this small platform i have here to get out some of what i have to say. and i have so much more to say still. not enough can ever be said. i hope that those of you in america stand with me and everyone else on this side during this time. i pray and hope with all my heart that our boys will.

SILENCE = VIOLENCE

TU LUCHA ES MI LUCHA

ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS

BLACK LIVES MATTER

-------

"hey, i've been seeing all those videos... you're really going to this thing? it seems so dangerous," your boyfriends worried voice rings through your phones speakers. his camera is pointed straight upwards, all you can see is the ceiling in his kitchen. "i don't really want you around all that stuff. you could get really hurt."

chan was in korea right now. you live out there too, for school, but america was your birth place. stuff has been getting bad in america lately. the virus hit everywhere hard, but america didn't deal with it properly. while the rest of the world was recovering from it, people out there are still getting sick and dying. and the fight between races was no better after so long. black people were still dying at the hands of people who would receive no real consequences. and people are done.

there are riots and people are looting. the streets are filled with people who are done with cops. the entire criminal justice system in america was built on a rotten foundation. they started as a slave patrol, to bring back slaves who had escaped their owners clutches. what is built on a rotten foundation will always be rotten.

you want to fight with those who want to better the country. so to show your support for the black lives matter movement you decided to go home. to fight with them right there in person. it didn't feel enough to stay in korea and show your support through social media. so now you're back at your family home in los angeles, ready to go to every protest you can.

though chan wishes you wouldn't. he's been trying to stay as up to date with everything as much as he could. he knows that you've already gone to the ones that have happened since you've arrived, but they're getting worse and he keeps trying to get you stay home. you know he just cares for your safety. you've been hurt already and he's scared how much worse it can get. but this is too important to you to just stay home and watch from your window. you wish he just understood that you need to be a part of this as much as you possibly can.

"yes, i'm really going. i have to. i need to be a part of this," you bite your lips nervously. "i mean..." chan appears on screen again, eyes sticking to you intently as you speak. "all my life, i've been told how lucky i am to be in this country. how proud i should be that i was born an american. and i know i should be proud, my grandparents worked hard to make sure i could be an american. but how can i be proud of this place anymore?

"just seeing my own family struggling to live here peacefully is enough reason to be ashamed. how is it right that my abuelo and abuela came here for a better life for their family and now they can't even walk past a police officer without worrying about getting stopped. cops hardly need an excuse to harass a person of color. and if my grandparents are ever stopped by a cop they could find out that they're not legal and they'll get deported.

"i've grown up terrified of cops. at five years old if i would just see a cop car near my house i would know to tell my mamá and papá so we could get the house ready 'just in case they wanted to take abuelo and abuela away from us...' that's what they would say to me and the other kids in the house. we were all just children... but still we knew exactly what to do by the time we could walk and talk.

"and while we have to hide my grandparents from the law, hide them for their crime of making a better life for their children and the next generations to come, a black person has to worry about losing their life or losing a loved one while just walking down the street.

"you've seen the videos, chan. they're chanting 'black lives matter' and 'all cops are bastards'. they're both right and they're both something that everyone should know by now. and yet still here we are fighting against people who still support cops because theyre either just as bad as they are or they simply don't understand. and they chose not to educate themselves so they go on believing that we are the bad guys. i want them to get it. this isn't white versus black. this is everyone versus racists. and them saying 'i'm not racist' can not be enough. 'not racist' will get us no where. what we need is anti racism. and until we have that i won't be proud of this country.

"how can i? how can i be proud of a place that not only doesn't welcome me or my family, but a place that allows lives to be taken everyday and for what reason? all because someone with a badge, the same badge they used as slave patrollers, decided to abuse the power we wrongly placed in their hands because they know they can get away with it since that person was darker than them. because as far as this system shows the law doesn't know yet that black lives matter. and since they lack that knowledge they get away with no more consequences than a slap on the wrist. and we've been trying to teach them. we've been screaming at them 'black lives matter' for years. but they haven't listened. they kept pushing it away, ignoring it. they continue to allow the murder. and they think that we will too.

"well, i fucking refuse. i refuse to watch this anymore. i refuse to just let this just be another month full of retweeting petitions and nothing more. i refuse to let my country go on like this. i refuse to let my children see america like this. i refuse to become another adult in this damned place telling my kids 'you should be proud,' just for them to grow up and see what is really happening here. i don't want them to just be another generation that this shit just gets passed onto. this fight has been going on for too fucking long and i intend to be a part of the movement that ends it in any way i can. and right now that means going to every single protest i can."

your voice shakes the entire time you talk, tears streaming down your face barely a few sentences in. a hand comes up to wipe your face, sniffling slightly and clearing your throat. you look back at your phone, catching channie's glassy eyes through the screen. "sorry, i-i got carried away... it just all makes me so mad," another wave of fresh tears comes and you struggle to keep them back. a groan leaves you as you rub your eyes with your sleeves.

"hey," you look to see him shaking his head. "don't be sorry. i understand. i'm proud i have such a passionate girlfriend. and i know that you will help make america a place that one day our kids will be proud of, just like you want for them. i love you. please be careful out there," there's a slight break in his voice and you're surprised to see a couple tears fall from his eyes.

"i promise i will. i love you, too, chan. so much."

Furby wish list!

Welp, its happened yet again...

I’ve found another thing I want to collect. So, might as well compile this list since tumblr is a pretty big furby hot spot. 

Lets divide this shall we? I’ll be going by generation, most of these are in want to either custom or theme after a character!

1998 FURBIES;

These are the original furbies, small, less fluffy, but had a lot of generations that came in its surrounding years. It received no major style changes until 2005, so any furby with this look is called a 1998 furby. In 1999 furbies were banned from the NSA as they could theoretically be used to record information. This is because furbies are an early AI based toy, using now outdated tech to have the toy respond and learn from you.

1) Red wolf furby 

I want this more just for myself, though I imagine a Tord themed one could be done with it if I change my mind!

Preference: Working... Though a nonworking one would be nice to have if I didn’t plan on modifying. 

2) Dragon furby

This was the first furby I set my heart on! I want one to make a Sonic the hedgehog custom with. I do not want the fresh new look version! As those ones have a black face and Sonic does not.

Preference: Open to working or nonworking

3) Racing furby

This is considered a special edition furby! Which means he would be really special! I want to modify one to be a Tom custom! I mean duh, he’s perfect for one!

Preference: I’d love a mute one for him but I doubt thats very possible to find!

4) Santa furby

like the racing furby, this one is a special edition. I want this one just to have, though I would take that dumb hat off.

Preference: nonworking so he can’t spread holiday cheer thx

1998 FURBY BABIES:

The furby babies were actually released 1999 but as stated before, because they have the original furby shape that is how they are referred to. Furby babies are smaller and hvae limited responses/interactions. They also feature more pastel colours. 

1) Sunny yellow furby baby

Look, I have no clue why but the second I saw this furby I was in love. This would be one to just have and if I modified it would be to add freckles or something. I just... Look at them, theyre a little baby bird!

preference: Working

2) Pink and blue furby babies

I would either take both or just one of these duo. I think they would make pretty cute twins though. 

preference: Creepy twins? Working please!

3) Lime green baby furby

I want this one to make an Invader Zim custom with... Cuz he’s baby obviously! He would be pretty heavily modified. MIGHT become a long furby.

Preference: LOUD AND PROUD WORKING MAMA

2005 FURBIES:

These furbies are probably my favorite... Likely as they’re the ones I had as a kiddo. In this generation they had their first total redesign. Features were remodeled but were arguably not as good. They did not have a light sensor and in touch relied totally on touch and sound to communicate. While they responded better to humans, among other furbies this posed a challenge.  

They are also larger than the original furby, had plastic immovable feet and silicon covered mouths. For me, I remember the weird little mouth most fondly. Because the creators were going for a more realistic look, they have a permanently drugged expression. They are also supposedly pretty hard to skin and customize. 

1) Strawberry swirl 2005

This is by far my favorite furby, something about them look so delicate and sweet, like someone I wanna come home and be comforted by after a bad day. This model is also more pricey than others for some reason.

Preference: Working

2) Sleepy blue 2005

Something about this furby looks so sweet, I just love him! 

preference: Working

3) Sleepy pink 2005

NOW! I actually have already gotten this one, it is on its way to me through the mail. I will be turning it into a working Edd furby!

4) Charcoal 2005

I just,, Love this boy so much, look at his lil ears,, He feeds my dark soul energy

Preference: Working or nonworking I love him all the same

2005 FURBY BABY:

Now these ones are special.

Based off the 2005 furby (as it was released the same year) the 2005 furby baby had a unique look. Their legs were more defined and pose-able. I would say these are the most alien looking of all the furbies. 

1) Any skinned furby 2005 baby. Any. 

I want a skinned 2005 furby so I can make a Gir custom! I would be hand making the skin into a little costume! This is the only image I could find lol

Preference: I’d be fine with it not working but my world would be made if it was.

2012 FURBIES: 

These furbies were basically the major tech update! At this point they are increasingly less releastic (a sharp contrast from the 2005) and more robot based. This is likely because modern tech had reach a high with children. They can develop a different personality based om how you play with it. They resemble the 1998 body shape but nothing else quite lines up. At this point, the ears are now plastic and their tail has become an interaction point. 

Because these are newer models and can still be bought in some stores, I will not include my preference towards working or nonworking as most should still be active. 

1) White 2012 (AKA Yeti furby)

I just love this little white fluff! He’s just super cute and soft. 

2) Black cherry 2012

I want this one for a Tord custom! Though customizing 2012 and ups are difficult.

3) Festive Sweater furby BOOM

This is technically a separate model but there isn’t much a difference aside from the ears and colours. I love his metallic look though I could care less about the Christmas pattern.

FURBY CONNECT:

Furby connect is the most recent model of furby as of may 2020. It has bluetooth capabilities and the most language skills. Despite the age gap in products, all furbies can communicate with one another. This model is extremely soft and fluffy... Though it should be noted that they can be hacked into if in direct contact. To make these furbies go to sleep, they have a plastic face mask you insert into their above sensor. These are the most interactive. There LCD eyes are lit up with better graphics than the 2012 and booms.

1) Blue furby connect

I’m in love with their softness and sweet eyes. He is definitely on the top of my list!

LONG FURBIES:

Long furbies are home made furbs with (usually) authentic faces and bodies that are sewn into a long tube like thing. The practice is to actually extend the furby. These can be commissioned by artists but most people make them at home. They often have a plastic skeleton inside. 

I will include one example photo THAT IS NOT MINE but the rest of the images will be the bases I want for the long furbies. 

Typically it is only done with 1998 furbies. 

AGAIN THIS IS NOT MY PICTURE, JUST AS NONE OF THESE ARE, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER SOMEONE HOME MADE THIS AND CREDIT IS DESERVED WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

1) Blueberry 1998 furby base

I want to turn this into a long furby custom based of Dib from Invader Zim... I would attempt to make it a working model but if thats not possible then a simple plush would do

List of customs from character I want to make that were not listed:

Matt (eddsworld)

As of right now, these are the furbies I want! I will probably add more later... Especially since I’m not quite satisfied on my Tord choice

03

joyrene / age regression

shes not surprised when it happens. the signs had been obvious enough to pick up on, growing more frequent with each passing day, joohyuns silence stretching on for longer periods of time.

the way her eyes looked a bit too shiny beneath the kitchen lights. the way each first step was more of a wobble. joohyuns absentminded, blank expression that evening throughout dinner. 

its not a surprise when it happens.

her door creaks open around an hour after they had all turned in for the night, the dorm dark and quiet with sleep. too heavy of a sleeper, sooyoung doesnt wake up until the bed dips and something soft and warm presses up against her back beneath the comforter.

she lets out a drowsy exhale, still lacking the energy to open her eyes. “joohyunnie?” sooyoung mumbles sleepily. 

she hears a quiet sniffle as the warm bundle presses closer, causing sooyoung’s eyes to flutter open, concern already taking over before her brain can fully wake up.

twisting around so that her back faces the wall, sooyoung comes face to face with joohyuns huddled form beneath her blankets. in the dark of the room, she can make out wet tear tracks running down her cheeks, her eyes squeezed shut as she cries silently. 

even time after time throughout the years shes witnessed joohyun like this, something sharp and gut-wrenching still unfailingly stabs through her, still makes her chest tighten painfully in overwhelming anguish. 

“baby,” sooyoung croaks hoarsely. she’s quickly pulling joohyun into her embrace, muffling a breathy cry against her chest as she hugs the smaller girl tightly in her arms. “hyunnie, baby, sooyoungie’s here, sooyoungie’s got you. you’re okay, baby. you’re okay.”

she feels tears wetting the front of her shirt as joohyun curls into her, face pressed into her chest and fingers clutching desperately onto her. shoulders trembling mutedly with too much fragility.

sooyoung’s heart breaks. 

“darling, its okay. let it out, hyunnie,” she whispers softly, and thats all it takes. 

a pained, gasping sob is clawed out of her throat, and then joohyun starts to cry in earnest. her shoulders shake with small hiccups as tears leak out from the corner of her eyes, her nose running messily. 

sooyoung brushes the hair back from joohyuns face, holds her close, lets her fall apart in her arms. she tucks the smaller girl under her chin, rubs slow, soothing circles against her back beneath her shirt, hums softly under her breath so that her chest vibrates with her voice where joohyun is pressed against her. she lets her heartbeat slow in hopes that it will calm joohyuns down too. 

“thats it, baby,” sooyoung murmurs gently as joohyun lets out a shuddery sob, a little louder and more choked than the rest. “just let it out. sooyoungie has you, baby, you’re okay.” 

small fingers are curled into her shirt as joohyun clings tightly onto her, and sooyoungs heart aches at the sight of her being unable to hold back her tears. at least this time, joohyun isnt trying to stifle the noise, like her volume is a bad thing and shes meant to go unnoticed. at least this time, shes a little louder.

joohyun chokes on a sob, hiccups, and then seems to gag. sooyoung quickly sits up, pulling joohyun into her lap, and she rubs her back and murmurs soothingly, “breathe, hyunnie, breathe. youre okay, darling, just breathe.” tears spill out from her closed eyelids as joohyun dry heaves, her thin, narrow frame being wracked too sharply by the force of her coughs. 

she waits patiently as joohyun gasps and chokes out the last few sobs before her breath hitches and she exhales, panting with the effort to finally regain her breathing.

sooyoung reaches for the tissues on her bedside table and then dabs at joohyuns cheeks, rubbing her back as she begins to calm down. “thats it, baby, just breathe for me. you’re okay, now. sooyoungie’s so proud of you, hyunnie.” 

even after wiping away joohyuns tears, fresh ones still leak out from her closed eyes, which are visibly puffy and swollen even in the dark. sooyoung smooths her hair back, grabs the cup of water next to the tissue box. she gently coaxes joohyun to drink some water, helps tilt the glass back as joohyun slowly swallows. 

“im so proud of you, hyun,” sooyoung whispers again as joohyun nestles into her arms after she puts the glass away.

shes about to lead them to lie back down on the bed when she feels joohyun mouthing at her shirt, and sooyoung instantly understands. 

gently, she holds joohyun back, eliciting a small whimper that sooyoung quickly soothes with her hand against joohyuns cheek. “one second, baby, just hold on for sooyoungie,” she reassures, and then quickly pulls her shirt over her head, tossing it to the side. 

she guides joohyun forward until her mouth bumps against her breast, and sooyoung watches with quiet affection as joohyuns lips automatically open to latch onto her nipple. she lets out a slow, content sigh as she feels joohyun begin to suckle. 

“good girl, hyunnie, sooyoungie’s so proud,” sooyoung murmurs, stroking joohyuns hair. she carefully leans them back until theyre lying on the bed, joohyun curled against her chest with her mouth still attached to her, warm against sooyoungs bare skin. her fingers trace along the knobs of joohyuns spine, light and reassuring. 

the comforter is pulled back over them, and sooyoung cradles her hand against the back of joohyuns head. she waits for joohyuns suckling to gradually slow, for her breathing to even out, for her lips to still around her nipple. only then does sooyoung press a soft kiss to joohyuns forehead, finally closing her eyes. 

“sweet dreams, hyunnie.” 

— 

seulgi and yerim are seated at the dining table talking and laughing quietly the next morning when sooyoung emerges from the hallway, joohyun in her arms. they look up in surprise, but then the corner of seulgis lips are tugging upwards while yerim’s face softens with fondness. 

“good morning, sooyoung-ah,” seulgi greets, and sooyoung gives her a brief, tired smile. 

she moves her gaze to joohyun, who has her face tucked against sooyoung’s neck, her thumb in her mouth. 

“good morning, hyunnie,” seulgi says gently.

half-lidded eyes blink at her drowsily, and seulgi resists the urge to coo at how cute joohyun looks. she doesnt miss how puffy and swollen her eyes look though, but she’s sure that sooyoung has taken care of it. 

seungwan had been humming as she worked on finishing up breakfast in the kitchen, but she turns around then at the commotion. spotting sooyoung and the familiar bundle in her arms, she wipes her hands on her apron and approaches them with a smile. 

“did she sleep with you again?” seungwan murmurs, resting her hand against joohyuns lower back. they watch as yerim gently runs the pad of her thumb along the shell of joohyuns ear, whispering a quiet “hi, hyunnie” when joohyun leans slightly into her touch. 

“yeah,” sooyoung says after a moment. she adjusts her grip on joohyun, arm curled protectively around her back. “she was crying really hard.”

“poor baby,” seungwan sighs. “shes been so stressed lately. i’m glad she can let it out now, at least.”

yerim takes a step back as seungwan turns to joohyun, whose gaze slowly slides away from yerim toward her. 

“are you still sleepy, hyunnie?” she asks in a low voice, cupping her cheek. the soft, breathy exhale as joohyuns eyelids flutter is all the answer seungwan needs, and she coos, her thumb rubbing behind joohyuns ear soothingly.

once seungwan pulls away, sooyoung waits as yerim leans in to give joohyun a small kiss to her temple. “i’ll rock her to sleep,” sooyoung says then, rubbing slow circles against joohyuns back beneath her shirt. joohyun stirs at the touch, exhaling quietly. 

“we saved you both some food for later,” seulgi reassures, resting a hand on sooyoungs shoulder. “wannie made eggrolls and soup.” 

sooyoung gives her a grateful smile. “thanks unnie.” 

with one last nod at yerim and seungwan, sooyoung turns away, moving back toward the hallway in the direction of her room.

“lets get you back to bed, baby,” she murmurs softly, carding her fingers through joohyuns hair. theres a breathy sigh against her neck, and then joohyun nestles closer, her eyes finally slipping shut. 

[extreme-technicality]

does talking to an anon help about ninjago help? cuz I'm down

DHDKCKGSC YES IT DOES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR OFFERING YOUR SERVICES

Okay now that I know I won’t be clogging people’s dashes buckle the fuck in my dude and I should stress that I literally would not be talking about this as much as I will be if I didn’t genuinely enjoy the show. I’m gonna go season by season and just Rant

S1 has the serpentine as the bbeg and like, as far as villains go they’re p lit. They’re early enough that they haven’t been done to hell, things are fresh, the characters and dynamics are being fleshed out, and all in all s1 is a pretty solid season. There’s some fuckery that gets brought up re: how the FUCK aging works and what the actual timeline of Ninjago is and how Wu and Garmadon fit into that timeline, fuckery that LITERALLY NEVER GETS RESOLVED IN A SATISFYING WAY BC ITS REVEALED IN A LATER SEASON (s8, dw we’ll get there lmao) THAT THE ONLY REASON THE FIRST SPINJITSU MASTER, WU, AND GARMADON LIVED AS LONG AS THEY DID IS CUZ THEYRE BASICALLY DEMIGODS AND ITS IMPLIED THAT LLOYD WILL ALSO LIVE FOR A LONG ASS TIME WHICH MEANS ONE DAY HES GONNA OUTLIVE ALL HIS FRIENDS AND EVERYONE HE EVER LOVED WHICH IS A FUN THING TO THINK ABOUT AT NIGHT But anyway I digress, s1 also coincidentally introduces Lloyd (he wasn’t in the pilot episodes that set up the rest of the series) and the existence of Evil Dad Garmadon.

S2 is where Garmadon starts acting a lot more Evil and a lot less Dad. He’s the main antagonist for that season, and I actually read somewhere that the show was originally slated to end after s2 which high key explains the fuckery of literally every single season after this lmaooooo. Much like s1, I really can’t find much to complain about, the first two seasons are pretty decent as far as I can remember

Season. Fucking. Three. Where the fuck do I start??? I hate season three for entirely personal reasons revolving around the STUPID GODDAMN ROMANCE WRITING. okay lemme back up and explain a thing first so, Jay is dating Nya and they’re fine, they’re going steady, aND THEN????? THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON INTRODUCES BULLSHIT LOVE TRIANGLE FUCKERY FOR ZERO GODDAMN REASON, BITCH I HATE LOVE TRIANGLES AND I HATE THEM EVEN MORE WHEN THEYRE DONE FOR NO GODDAMN REASON!!! AND THEN. AS IF THAT WERENT ENOUGH. THEY SHOEHORNED A ROBOT ROMANCE BETWEEN ZANE AND PIXAL AND I KNOW I RANTED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY WATCHING BUT I DIDNT GO INTO ENOUGH DETAIL!!!! THEY MADE THE OTHER NINJA OOC IN ORDER TO PROP UP THEIR SHIP!!!!!! AND AT ONE POINT ZANE GOES “its like we were…made for each other” AND I HAD TO FUCUCJDHVE I HAD TO SCREAM INTO A PILLOW BRO, IM SO TIRED!!!! NO THE FUCK YOU WERENT!!!!!! YOU WERE MADE FOR YOU AND PIXAL WAS MADE FOR PIXAL AND IF YALLS WANNA BANG BOLTS THATS FINE BUT DONT IMPLY THAT EITHER OF YOU WERE MADE INCOMPLETE!!!! THATS AN INSULT TO YOUR MAKERS AND YOURSELVES, MOVE ON, PLEASE AND THANK YOU. anyway that season also killed Zane (for the first time, but not the last) (spoiler alert lmao) and like, not to be an emotional little shit but I did cry a bit at his funeral.

S4 is honestly one of my favorites, even though the romance crimes continue (the love triangle bullshit is continuing and honestly I maintain that Cole, Nya, and Jay should all have gotten together and in my personal canon they DID, and also Kai has a forced romance) the VILLAIN makes up for it imo. He’s campy!! He’s funny!! He’s a clown!! He’s serious enough that if he says “I’m gonna kill you” HE MEANS IT and that’s so fucking refreshing!!!! S4 is honestly 8/10 just for the villain alone, don’t like that it retconned the SHIT out of the elemental masters and how many different elements there are TO master but eh, it’s ninjago, shit is stupid.

S5 was…interesting? OH WAIT I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT S3 INTRODUCED A GARMADON WHO WAS A LOT LESS EVIL AND A LOT MORE DAD, HONESTLY I THOUGHT IT TOOK A LOT OF THE FLAVOR OUT BUT THATS JUST ME LMAOOO. anyway s5 killed Garmadon, and I was a little sad cuz I like him okay??? I just think he’s NEAT, he’s got big dad energy, he was teaching Lloyd some shit that just got DROPPED and literally was never brought up again which is honestly a theme in Ninjago. Ninjago drinking game: take a shot every time they introduce a plot point or ability and drop it at or before the end of the season. WHICH THEY ALSO DID IN S5 WITH A DIFFERENT POWER ACTUALLY, so all the ninja are masters of Spinjitsu right, well s5 introduced the concept of Airjitsu which only Spinjitsu masters can learn and it lets them FLY and they used that for seasons 5 and 6 and then they nEVER BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN EVEN THOUGH IT WOULDVE COME IN HANDY FOR S E V E R A L DIFFERENT SITUATIONS ACROSS THE SEASONS, ONE OF THEM WOULD BE FALLING TO THEIR DOOM AND MY ASS WOULD BE YELLING “YOU CAN FLY, DUMBASS” - anyway, they do that again later lmao it’s fine. But what’s low key NOT fine is they made Nya the WATER NINJA!!! Like I’m not mad she has powers, except I kinda am, she was doing just fine as Samurai X and honestly the only reason she has super special ninja powers is for plot reasons. Also Cole got turned into a ghost, but by s7 he’s????? No longer a ghost????????? And that’s NEVER addressed or reasoned away, so like. Cool lmao

S6 didn’t happen. Like, canonically, s6 ends with wish fuckery that undoes the entire season and none of the characters remember anything that happened except Jay and Nya because S6 is the season where they get back together so they remember all those events for???? Feelings reasons?????? Unclear, moving on. The actual bbeg for S6 was a djinn with a vaguely Spanish accent, and to this DAY I don’t know why they made him have a SPANISH accent. Djinn are Arabic, not Spanish!! They’re not central or South American, either!!!! Your villain design makes no sense, do better

S7 had MORE time fuckery, and retconned what happened to Kai and Nya’s parents and hmmmhmhmhmhmhm that makes me Upsetti Spaghetti :3 not just the retconning, but the fact that they LITERALLY brought them back oNLY TO NEVER MENTION THEM AGAIN!!!!!! LITERALLY!!!!!!!! Okay so at the VERY very beginning, like pilot episodes beginning, Kai talks about their dad like he died/left fairly recently, BUT s7 contradicts that and claims that both of their parents were essentially abducted when Kai and Nya were little kids, which makes me question what in the fresh fuck two little kids were doing for all those years alone. SETTING THAT ASIDE FOR A HOT SECOND, their parents were also apparently good friends of Wu’s and old war buddies (from the Serpentine wars, which is YET ANOTHER bit of the timeline that doesn’t quite add up but honestly I could make a whole other post about that shit). But if they were such good fucking friends, why didn’t Wu check in every now and again??? What the fuck was Wu doing that was so fucking important that he couldn’t have been assed to visit his friends ONCE in like TEN MOTHERFUCKING YEARS and realize “oh shit, they’re not here and there are two tiny children running around unsupervised…My Kids Now : )” LIKE????? WU YOU LOW KEY SHOULDA LOOKED OUT FOR YOUR FRIENDS’ KIDS BETTER, THEY COULDA DIED BRO!!! Uhhhh the time fuckery also results in Wu getting yeeted ahead in time a bit and the ninja gotta find him

Season. Eight. I have…mixed feelings about this one. The beginning absolutely SLAUGHTERED me, and not in a “this is so fucking funny” way. No, the beginning made me feel like I was being flayed alive with just about every episode because Ninjago was back on its forced romance bullshit and this time it was Lloyd’s turn on the chopping block. That hurt my soul cuz like, look at that mans color scheme, he’s CLEARLY alloaro, why are you forcing romance on my aro man, why would you hurt me like that, BUT ALSO BECAUSE HE AND THE GIRL HE WAS BEING SET UP WITH HAD A LITTLE HEART TO HEART REALLY EARLY ON AND IT WAS THE MOST QUEER CODED SHIT!!!! IT DEADASS READ AS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN AN OUT AND PROUD QUEER AND A CLOSETED QUEER AND THEY MADE!!! IT!!!!! STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing that kept me watching at first was wanting to find Wu, and then I started enjoying myself once Cole found a plot-relevant baby and had fatherhood thrust upon him. Everything went from “ehhhhh” to “holy shit this FUCKS” once it was revealed that Rumi (Lloyd’s love interest) wAS PLAYING HIM THE WHOLE TIME AND WAS EVIL AND HAD AN EVIL GIRLFRIEND!!!!!! LITERALLY IMPROVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SEASON FOR ME, I COULD EVEN FORGIVE THE WHOLE “let’s resurrect Garmadon, but as evil as possible” BULLSHIT!!!!!!

S9 is a continuation of s8, Garmadon is back and 1000% Evil, 10% Dad, but none of the Dad energies is directed at Lloyd - it’s all directed at Rumi, and honestly I could write a whole ass post on just RUMI cuz that’s honestly my DAUGHTER and I LOVE HER and I’m MAD SHE DIES AT THE END OF THIS SEASON!!!! SHE DESERVED THERAPY AND TO LIVE WITH HER GF AND MAYBE SOME CRIME. AS A TREAT. RUMI DESERVED BETTER AND LOW KEY IM GONNA WRITE A FIC ABOUT IT, BUT ANYWAY WHERE WAS I

Ah right, so s9 has the four major Ninja stuck in the original dimension with no way home, while Lloyd has no powers (cuz he almost died last season) and has to somehow lead a resistance against Garmadon (who has taken control of Ninjago City and is working on the rest of Ninjago). Actually, s9 is pretty cool. Like, the end of s8 and into s9 are low key my favorite episodes, and I kinda wanna rewatch them now -

S10 is a FUN one. Garmadon got got last season, but he didn’t DIE, so he’s in cold storage and now there’s Another Threat and he’s the only one who knows wtf they’re up against so they let him out and he works with them. The funny part is, he is still Very Much Evil and doesn’t quite Get emotions like he did when he was, uh, human lmao, sO HE WOKE UP EVERY DAY DURING THAT SEASON AND DECIDED TO CAUSE PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE. IT WAS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING SHIT. 1000000/10 MY FAVORITE GARMADON, he ended that season by literally fucking off into Ninjago and they never decided to track him down 😭😭😭😭😭and I’m so SAD about it dude

S11 has another Serpentine as the bbeg, though in the setup to that they retconned how the fucking Serpentine tribes and history work??? I think???? Also Wu was a good 150% angrier and generally Done with the ninja’s shit, which was honestly refreshing tho I’m not quite sure I liked what the refreshed view was, but whatever lmao. S11 also had the ninja get yeeted to the dimension farthest from Ninjago, and honestly - okay, so they didn’t all go at the same TIME, Zane left about a week or two before the others did but there was time dilation fuckery afoot which I’m not too mad about cuz low key it makes sense. What I AM mad about is that they didn’t play the angst up to its full POTENTIAL!!!!!! Zane was EVIL in the other dimension!!!! Okay so I’m Ninjago he was only gone for maybe a week or two, but DECADES had passed in the other one, and all that time Zane was alone and disconnected from everyone he knew and loved, with a staff that boosted his power while slowly corrupting him and Turning Him Evil to help him, and like???? The thought of Zane trying to find a way home, trying to get SOME sort of message back, while he has to use the staff more and more to help him survive the long, lonely decades, so that by the time his family DOES show up its too late??? BRO. B R O. THAT JUST HITS DIFFERENT, BUT NINJAGO DIDNT DO THAT!!! THEY MADE HIM EVIL DUE TO MEMORY WIPE!!!!!! MEMORY WIPE IS BABY SHIT COMPARED TO A LONG, SLOW CORRUPTION!!!!!!

S12 was alright. It went into Cole’s mom, touched on some of the adventures she had had, threatened another forced romance (this time on poor Cole, just leave my mans ALONE) but thankfully didn’t follow through this time, introduced cool new powers that honestly hasn’t been elaborated on since that’s the most recent season I think lmao

Anyway thanks for reading and letting me rant!!!! I have,,So Much More I could talk about, PLEASE ask me about Rumi, some of my headcanons re: Garmadon and Wu’s dynamic, the Serpentine, my top five times they butchered Kai’s character for Plot Reasons, or anything else I brought up here that you want me to elaborate on!!!

[midoriyaizukustan-inactive]

everyone shut the fuck up and CONSIDER trans girl iida

she supposes she always knew unconsciously that there was something different about her but she never rlly put much thought into it until some ppl in the class come out as trans* (like aoyama’s genderfluid, tokoyami’s a demiboy, nd tsu and jirou are trans girls)

and as class rep, but also (and arguably more importantly) their friends, iida wants to make sure she can make them as comfortable as possible abt coming out so she does some research nd stuff. like she knew trans people existed and were valid nd such before but she wanted to get more than just the basic facts

and shes happy for her friends! shes glad they trusted their class enough to tell them, shes glad she can be there for them. but she also notices that she feels rlly...weird? and she keeps doing research just because.......its interesting. but she doesnt know why she finds it so interesting?? and she gets kinda insecure abt that

so she keeps diggin into it and reads posts that trans ppl have made abt their experiences and just classic shitposts nd all that. she thinks the community is great!! and also she finds some fresh wholesome memes to share w her friends so its all the better. right?

but eventually she finds a community of trans girls specifically and she just absolutely COMBS through that. reads every single post there that she can find. but coincidentally she also feels even more insecure now bc shes starting to unconsciously question her gender nd stuff and lets be real folks. an identity crisis is not fun

couple this with the fact that she doesnt experience the traditional dysphoria(tm) that other trans girls seem to universally share, iida gets rlly down abt it. nd it gets to the point she rlly raaaaags on herself for still lookin thro these posts nd stuff and still subtly questioning herself and shes just rlly unhappy at the time :[

nd she doesnt wanna like make tsu or jirou uncomfortable so she doesnt wanna ask them abt it but shes so confused nd frankly hurt and she doesnt know what going oooonnnn with herself

so shes just in this complete funk for a while nd it starts to affect her grades and performance in training. her friends know smths up but iida doesnt know how to even explain how shes feeling so its not necessarily that she doesnt WANT to go to her friends but she literally does not know how to. anyway eventually aizawa keeps her after class and is like “ok iida smths up im gonna call tensei if u dont talk to me”

iida feels absolute HORROR at the prospect of tensei somehow finding out abt this bc oh shit what if he doesnt want her carrying on the name of ingenium anymore??? what if he thinks shes a freak??? what if he thinks shes not really a girl and shes just faking it to be special?? what if- and oh shit thats the first time iida rlly consciously thought to herself “im a girl but what if others dont think i am?”

so she kinda bursts into tears and aizawa internally is like “oh jesus what the fuck” but externally hes like “iida?? r u ok?? was it something i said?? oh fuu- is something wrong with tensei??” and iida just kinda speaks thro her cries like “no nothings wrong with tensei something’s wrong with me” and ill be real folks its real sad girl hours for a bit

anyway iida doesnt rlly elaborate much beyond that bc shes so ashamed and embarrassed but aizawa is like “u’ve gotta talk to someone iida ur friends r worried and frankly i am as well” and iida eventually promises to talk to someone

soo she comes to terms that since she so confused it would be best to ask tsu and jirou abt it even if shes,,,,so v concerned,,,abt making them uncomfortable. but she manages to convince herself that she rlly does need some guidance here and better to ask ppl who know her than ask on the internet sooo

thankfully while iida is working up the courage to ask tsu and jirou to talk, she finds posts derailing terf and truscum shit so she feels. a lot lot better abt everything but particularly the lack of any intense dysphoria she had after reading stuff like that, esp the more verified(tm) articles from the more verified(tm) authors (like doctors and psychoneurologists and such)

so she figures out how she wants to word her questions nd asks tsu nd jirou to meet up. tsu nd jirou agree right away bc all of class 1-a is worried abt their class rep at this point :[ so theyre happy shes finally reaching out

iida is kinda a disaster when tryin to talk but she gets her point across. like “uhh this is a rlly bad way to ask but how did u guys know u were,,,trans?” nd tsu immediately catches on but jirou is only a lil suspicious until further into the conversation

anyway eventually jirou catches on the same as tsu and thats when tsu asks “iida do u think ur trans??”

nd iida is sooooooooo tired of feeling ashamed bc damn. she does think shes trans! she does. she shouldnt feel guilty for how she feels she cant help that. so after takin a moment to steel herself she says “yea” as confidently as one can in the situation

tsu nd jirou r immediately supportive nd ask iida for more details abt how shes feeling nd iida is just,,,so happy,, since shes already on an honesty streak that afternoon, shes able to roughly get her wack emotions into words nd tsu and jirou are like “yea thats valid ur valid iida. it doesnt matter if u dont have the trademark dysphoria or that u didnt know until later in life like ur still young. u say ur a girl, ur a girl” iida cries but only a bit bc damn months of agonizing over this. we stan one trans girl trio.........

anyway tsu and jirou ask her how she wants to move forward i.e. transitioning or telling anyone, and iida hadnt even considered transitioning before bc it felt so out of reach but shes absolutely ECSTATIC at the thought of bein able to look more feminine and it Shows. tsu and jirou r like “ok mood we were like that too right before startin estrogen”

so the first unofficial trans girl trio club meeting ends w tsu and jirou promising to help iida ask recovery girl abt hormones and iida sayin she doesnt want to come out just yet to the class/anyone else in general and tsu and jirou respectin that. i love them yall

anyway after a few months, iida is ready to try hormone treatment so tsu and jirou help her ask recovery girl for a meeting nd r moral support for her while they go thro the process of like figuring out what dosage she should start w/, how long should she take it, when a check up appointment should be, if recovery girl should tell iida’s parents yet or nah, all that stuff. anyway after that,  recovery girl gets her started on hormone treatment which iida is SUPER EXCITED abt and tsu and jirou tell her stories abt when they first started estrogen and AHHH I LOVE MY GIRLS SO MUCH FUCK

anyway eventually after some support from tsu and jirou via the unofficial trans girl club meetings and getting back on her feet confidence-wise, iida comes out to the class :,,,]]] theyre all super supportive and iida cries just a bit. tsu and jirou r so proud of her. aizawa is just glad his problem child #9 is feeling better

ashido and yaoyorozu get together and take iida shopping so she can have more feminine clothes which iida has a lot of fun w......shes never been necessarily big on shopping before (even if she is a part of the rich kid’s club lmao) but this trip is so EXCITING and ashido and momo r so happy for her and so ESCATIC to help her find some clothes and just oh my heart.......

the girls also have a sleepover during which they indoctrinate iida on all things traditionally feminine like makeup nd hair so that she knows the basics should she ever wanna mess arnd with that stuff. but also they just have fun doin normal things and just include iida in on being one of the gals nd iida is,,,so happy. tsu and jirou in particular r arnd her the whole night and wow my uwus they own them the unofficial trans girl club owns my uwus-

anyway so coming out and being accepted and transitioning is going so much better than iida thought it would be. she feels so safe and happy im crying.....anyway eventually some time later iida also gets permission to visit her family during a long weekend/short holiday w/e. nd while there she shakily but steadily comes out to her fam ofc her parents r so proud (her mom’s like ‘’ive always wanted a daughter yes!!! ily tenya’’) and tensei loves her all the same nd she cries a lil bit bc damn,,,,,,shes been fearing the exact opposite reaction for months

specifically she talks to tensei abt it for a little while and mentions her particular fears abt not being good enough to carry on the name “ingenium” nd he smiles at her nd is like “i would rather no one else but my little sister to carry on the name of ingenium” and bruh shes absolutely floored

nd yea. midoriya and uraraka absolutely love love love iida shes still their absolute fav. she joins the unofficial class 1-a trans* club as well as accidentally forms the unofficial class 1-a trans girl club. we love her,,,,

but yeah thats it. this post is so fucking long but oh well. stan iida!

indian american (desi) roman

hi! i relate to roman and ive been seeing posts like these and i got inspired!!

part 2

his name is actually rohan, but he started going by roman in middle school partly as a pun by his friend patton, and partly because “there are like six other kids on our street alone named rohan. i need to stand out! out there in the real world theyll never expect me, the desi kid, to be named roman!”

his parents both immigrated to the US when they were kids and his family followed the ~American Dream~

he grew up in an asian community and rarely saw non-asians until he was in middle school 

he does dramatic retelling of ztv hindi dramas and thats where first he got into acting

he’s short and furious

his grandma always said it’s cuz he doesnt drink enough milk 

he tries to explain to her genetics so basic that even he could understand

his grandma doesn’t believe genetics. it’s the milk.

his cousins back in india rave about cricket and soccer to him

he doesn’t get the appeal of either sport, nor he understand the convoluted system of cricket

once he was old enough to realize this, he began to despise how even though the constitution says freedom of religion, public schools still make the kids do christmas activities and thanksgiving and easter activities that are mandatory. bc if it theres truly freedom of religion, then shouldnt public schools, a governmental, public organization be fully secular??

he is very upset at the christain centric & abrahamic religion centric  view of the world that the schools teach, and how they dont even talk about anything that isnt an abrahamic religion (not even in history class!)

on diwali in high school he sneaks into the administration room and takes over the school PA system to talk about diwali and hinduism and how the world isnt just abrahamic religions

speaking of diwali

he is in LOVE with doing rangoli and always does more and more elaborate ones each year

he tried to help make bhatura once. he was not allowed in the kitchen afterwards

“it’s okay that youre that bad at cooking as long as you marry another indian person who can make you these things, otherwise, ill teach you until you can out-cook me” said his grandma

there was a family reunion once and he didnt know anyone there

he met some cousins for the first time when he was sixteen. it was like theyd known each other since they were babies.

he always feels insecure about doing bad in school because of how high a value his culture places education and knowledge but he cant seem to understand anything

when he was younger his grandma told him if he didnt pass math theyd change his last name from an indian one to the name “smith”

he passed math for the sole reason to not become a white person (because yes roman, thats what happens when you change your last name, dumbass)

his other desi friend told him in her dramatic indian accent that her mom said “youre an A-sian, not a B-sian” in regards to her grades

he couldnt stop laughing for a good ten minutes

when he came out as gay his parents, while not really understanding because being gay wasnt really talked about whn they were growing up, they were extremely accepting

“did you actually think we were gonna be like those christains who kick their kid out because it goes against the bible?” “...” “rohan! learn your own religion! have you even seen the karma sutra?!” “dad, ew”

he is fluent in english and can understand hindi but has trouble speaking it back

his cousins in india tease him and his siblings for their desi accents when he speaks hindi

when theyre teenagers, his cousins teach him hindi swear words

“okay so kuti is, you know, female dog, and then you know how theres motherfucker in english? well in hindi we’ve got bhenchod”

“ASFDGF SISTER FUCKER?? ARE YOU FOR REAL?? OH MY GOSH THAT IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN MOTHERFUCKER I LOVE IT”

he loves doing kathak dance and loves how it integrates sound with the movements and he took classes in it and can do it perfectly

even if he is a partial disgrace for his bad grades, his commitment to kathak, ztv impressions, and indian flute saved his reputation (and also those skills landed him a professional theater role fresh outta high school)

he’s also the biggest defier of the “indians are good at school especially math” stereotype because someone once asked what 2+3 is and he said 1

it wasnt his proudest moment, yet he was proud of himself for breaking down stereotypes, one dumbass moment at a time

speaking of stereotypes

whenever people are racist he just shouts at them and insults them with his Superior Confidence and also to defy stereotypes that indians are just socially awkward nerds who cant defend themselves (looking at you big bang theory)

once he was walking with a friend and they were talking in a mix of hindi and english and some jerk asses laughed at them and were like “hey curry munchers!” and then bowed in a super offensive way while saying “namaste” and pronouncing it horribly wrong

he responded by yelling back at them “we’re in america! speak english!” and that shut them up. 

he pretends that being called racist stuff doesnt hurt him, but when he’s alone he lets it show and oh boy

oh fucking boy is he sad because he hates himself and actually lets everything thats said to him get to him even though he doesnt show it and his self esteem is very fragile

he is absolutely in love with vardaan arora’s music, mostly because he is also gay and indian (and very attractive)

he obsessively watches || Superwoman || (aka lily singh) because oh dear are there a dearth of desi creators and actors and stuff and her videos are so relatable and funny

speaking of which

despite his huge resume and experience and overall amazing ability to act, he is yet to get his big break because he declines most major roles he gets because he refuses to portray racist and stereotypical depictions of indians

and also because no one is really race blind and they wont hire an indian lest it become an “indian show”

his grandma is happy in the end because he does settle down with a nice, smart, indian boy who can cook and counteract all his dumbassery ;) ;) ;) *cough* logan *cough*

all in all, he loves his culture and his family (even the family members he’s yet to meet)

[squidshadow]

6, 15, 16 & 17 for the agents? It would be really cool if you could include Dana (heck even Lucas) too!!

ooh boy this is a long one!!! under the cut it goes

6. What were they like at school? Did they enjoy it? Did they finish? What level of higher education did they reach? What subjects did they enjoy? Which did they hate?

3 - 3s friend group wasnt exactly the best and she was fairly withdrawn, but still too much of a pushover to actually find new friends. she stuck around 4 a lot (who wasnt really in that group) to the annoyance of some of 4s friends. thats mainly why 3 and dana hate each other, even if its sort of petty. 3s also a college dropout, she couldnt keep up with it while juggling nss stuff. her fav subjects were art and math, surprisingly, and she hated language arts and pretty much all sciences.

4 - she wasnt exactly well-liked by any means, but she had a nice friend group at the very least. shes much happier to be out of school since she quite frankly thought it sucked. she didnt do any further schooling after high school. if theater counts as a subject, that would be her absolute favourite. if not, then language arts and even then, only the units that cover shakespeare. least fav is probably gym, but that was more because of dysphoria than anything else

8 - 8 didnt really receive proper schooling, buuuuuuuuuut to go along w the question, if she went to school like the ones surface-dwellers attend, she would enjoy it. shes curious about the world and all and a place to receive free knowledge just seems really cool to her. fav subject is history, with no real least fav.

dana - shes a theater kid what else is new. she liked it but she likes not being in school a whole lot more. shes currently juggling online college classes with prof turfing. fav subject is theater again, but if not then art. least fav is math bc its boring

lucas - (lets just go with 8 rules for this again) hes 17, so he would still be in school if he attended. hes a bit standoffish and would prob be more of a loner, that or the guy who befriends all the goths/stoners (though he wouldnt smoke). hed be indifferent to most subjects, though i dont see him liking gym much. not for the same reasons as 4 (although he is trans, but there wasnt any opportunity in his introduction for me to just... say it) i think hed just think it was a waste of time if anything.

15. Are they good at cooking? Do they enjoy it? What do others think of their cooking?

3 - compared to my other agents, she is a god. compared to normal people, her food is crummy but tolerably so. not good, not terrible... just incredibly bland.

4 - 4 likes cooking. cooking does not like 4. her food is edible and technically prepared correctly, but something about it is just... off. in a bad way. 4 doesnt like her own cooking and neither does anyone else

8 - 8 thinks food is cool but also has the attention span of a flea when it comes to these things. shes still trying to learn, and shes made some progress, but theres still a 75% chance that her food comes out burnt. (and, if youre wondering, pearl is so very proud)

dana - she has the ability to cook, kind of, but she prefers take-out. its faster and the chance of it burning your house down is smaller, after all. her food isnt bland like 3s, she just oversalts it. a lot. youre better off just chugging saltwater at this rate

lucas - he likes cooking, its soothing. out of everyone here, hes the best at it. its sort of a hobby of his. he doesnt eat a whole lot though. the apartment complex he lives at is pretty run-down and nowhere near the best part of town, but its cheap and its fairly populated with octolings, so he tends to share with them. (and his roommate as well) they appreciate him a lot.

16. Do they collect anything? What do they do with it? Where do they keep it? 

3 - she doesnt really collect anything. i mean, she has a lot of fancy pens, but its not like she went out and got them all to add to a collection.

4 - commissioned art of her fursona uhhh idk? i mean, she has a lot of clothes, but thats not really a collection.. actually, can you collect succulents? she has a whole shelf of succulents that she can miraculously keep alive somehow. theyre all named.

8 - she basically hoards pins. like the ones you can get on etsy or at hot topic, those. theyre quirky and fun!! currently she has them all shoved in a box beneath her bed. 

dana - keychains and stuff you can hang off them. its pretty much a weapon at this rate. watch out lest you invoke the wrath of the fresh fish keychain.

lucas - he doesnt really have a lot. mainly because of money and a generally ascetic lifestyle

17. Do they like to take photos? What do they like to take photos of? Selfies? What do they do with their photos?

3 - she doesnt like taking photos, shell only do it if its stuff on paper or a sign or something that she needs to remember

4 - she takes a lot of selfies with friends and posts them to whatever the squid equivalent of insta is. once she posts them, she deletes them

8 - she takes sooo many pictures of like... everything. the surface is just really colorful and so full of stuff. shes scared shes going to forget it all again. 8 saves them all to a flashdrive since her phone runs out of space faster than shed like.

dana - shes the one annoying friend that takes pics of food all the time. she posts them to squid insta but doesnt delete them

lucas - he doesnt take photos. hes the type to just write down details of stuff he needs to remember so his camera doesnt see any use

Kimetsu no Yaiba Chapter 146 Review

It’s one personal battle after another. One has fallen, leaving the next generation in charge, and the other one has succeeded, leaving with many regrets intact. Reality is cruel, but they must survive. This was more of a hype chapter for the next and one of the most anticipated battle yet with plenty of stakes on the line. However, it was also the conclusion that Zenitsu needed after life of struggles.

This marks the end of the battle. I’m satisfied for it was more of an emotional storytelling, rather than intense sword combat. That seems to be saved for the next one. This was about two “brothers” crossing path and have to end one life to save theirs. Zenitsu caught him by surprise with a sick technique that drained him out to move. In short, both are going to die.

I was bit surprised that it only took one decapitation for Kaigaku to die, though it is explained later, so it’s understandable. With that said it is satisfyingly depressing. While Kaigaku is slowly disintegrating, all he can think about is how Zenitsu made that technique and most importantly, telling himself he has not lost. He’s in complete delusional, but that’s the point of his character. He only think about himself and run away from any satisfaction he was given by others. He only feels better if Zenitsu dies with him to make it a draw. That’s just desperate. Sadly for him, in this series, there’s no sugarcoating; a villain will pay a price.

Yushiro appears out of nowhere to save Zenitsu; that means only Kaigaku will die. Before doing so, he approaches to Kaigaku to send him off on a cold, depressing note. He nail it hard when he tells him that it’s his fault that he couldn’t give anything to others. In other words, he never give them a hand that they will give him back; “I’ll scratch your back, you’ll scratch mine.” Because of his disconnection, his death is nothing but loneliness; that’s the true sad defeat. Damn. That last stare had me chills. He’s right though. If only Kaigaku knew better. Too late now. Die in the endless abyss of loneliness.

It’s not all depressing for the battle’s end however. The scene shifts to Zenitsu meeting with the old man in the afterlife, I assume, and it’s pretty emotional. Kaigaku is now dead, but the fact remains; Zenitsu had to kill him. He is full of guilt for unable to avoid the problem that led both of their demise. It’s sad to think he has felt this way for a long time. It’s like he cannot receive a good ending, despite acting like a child. But at last, he can forgive himself for his grandfather is proud of him. This is a touching scene and he needed it. He can grow and not be hindered by guilt. While it’s hard to determine the series’ end, his future looks bright.

That is if he can survive from the Demon Art Technique that affected his body. It is concerning to see how Zenitsu would recover from those deep wounds. Hell, it’s trying to cut open all the way to his eyes. That sounds gruesome. Yushiro disguises his actual eyes when Murata and others arrive, which explains later. Speaking of explaining, the reason why Kaigaku died easily for an Upper Moon is because he was still fresh. If he had a year of training, the story would have been a lot different. This makes sense considering how demon blood takes experience rather than become top tier strong on the spot.

I have to say, I was laughing when Murata was losing his head over Zenitsu’s health. I get that he knows him and of course, want him to live, but he cannot calm down for a moment at all. The guy is so loud, he actually drag the demons to the room they’re in. He’s definitely a good target. At least, it’s played for gag; not causing actual damages. Plus, we can get some laughs after depressing notes.

There’s an interesting detail on Yushiro. I was a bit confused on why he had to hide his demon’s eyes, especially since they’re in the same boat to take out Muzan. It turns out that the Corps still aren’t friendly to good will demons, despite the intention, hence why he has to hide. He only joined with them due to Tamayo pressing him on to help and blend in. Funny how he was so against it, yet here he is, actually calmed for once. Go figure. The last bit is the reason why others can’t sense him. He is created by Tamayo, so the sense differs from Muzan’s. That make sense. Now, here comes the exciting part.

This arc has been crazy so far and we still don’t know if this is the final arc. After two battles, what could possibly be the next one to get us hyped? How about the revenge of a lifetime! The anticipation is solid with how it shifts back to Tanjiro running, thinking that they will win the war. You can already sense something crazy is about to happen. Then a sudden destruction erupted, building up a really good tension. You know Tanjiro is next to get his battle, but you still wonder who the opponent is. It had me anxious to find out who and long behold, it’s none other Akaza, the man who killed Rengoku.

It’s the long waited reunion that I have been waiting for, and it’s not even between friends. It’s the revenge of the century. I got goosebumps just by staring at the panels with the two about to collide like all hells break loose. Hate runs deep; this will be intense. I don’t know what happened to Giyu, so it appears he was separated by the slam. In any case, this is the revenge that must be fulfilled. Do it for Rengoku, Tanjiro!

Before closing the chapter off with sheer hype, the last scene focus on the whereabouts of Muzan and it’s rather eerie. I don’t know what is exactly happening with him, but he’s now a cocoon in a sense. Is he evolving or what? What’s also bad is Tamayo is slowly being absorbed. If she’s gone, well, Gotouge knows what’s next. Not only time is running out, but apparently something else is happening. The stakes have increased and they can’t afford to kill any more time.

This was a really solid chapter with a lot of anticipation going forward. The conclusion to Zenitsu’s battle was pretty satisfying albeit with some cold elements, but a villain don’t get the happy ending. There was a nice detail on Yushiro and how he’s contributing with the Corps, even though the real problem comes from Murata. The visual is solid and helped a lot with the strong emphasis on the fated reunion of a lifetime. We’re up for a real treat next time.

[kissmymongoose]

My nasturtium had its first bloom a few days ago. I have a random marigold that volunteered in here, and I definitely went overboard with the bean seeds. Once the deer started eating them I panicked and put lots of seeds to accomodate lost plants, but they have pretty much all decided to tough it out. Im so happy they are recovering, and i hope the spacing doesnt hinder their growth.

I picked my first ripe strawberry of the year. Gwen has had one already and i had one that was severely stunted and malformed from transplant shock. I usually clip the blooms off when i plant, but they were just doing so good i didnt with the seascape strawberry. And other than the one malformed fruit, it is doing amazing! I gave my ripe strawberry to Adon, and he was very excited about it 💕

We have been picking wild blackberries for around 5 days now, the tame ones arent ripe yet, but they are getting there 😁 Gwen is so awesome, Tuesday at granny's, her 3yo. cousin was there and she immediately ran to him and asked if he wanted to get blackberries! Then she showed him where they were, taught him when they are ripe, and picked him some to start off. Then, anytime he couldnt get one easily, she would carefully get them for him 😍 gwen can be a little bad butt at times, but I am unconditionally proud of her, and who she is, and all that she has already accomplished. She and Adon both have such sweet and kind hearts. I am so proud to be their mama. Those two goober gooses are my whole world! Gwennie has a check up tomorrow, and she will have to get a finger prick, I know she will be tough, and I really want to get her a cheap box or 2 from the dollar store, so she can put her cards in one and her girly stuff in another. The boxes are between a dollar and 6 dollars, and theyre pretty cute. They have different sizes and styles as well.

I need to straighten up. You know, make the beds, take the trash out, and sweep. Maybe even mop. But my back and neck are NOT having that right now. I couldnt even walk through the garden comfortably. Sitting hurts, standing hurts, laying down hurts. Bleh. Im fine though. I could do some stretches. But i really think ill wait another hour for the sun. Im just gonna pull something if i do it while its still chilly out. I mean, technically i could do a quick warm up, but im in agonizing pain.

On a brighter note, I am wearing my new camo overalls today and they are mighty cute if I do say so myself. And i do say so. 😎

Im thinking about grabbing the picnic blanket, going to a semi shaded spot in the garden, and bringing my GBA, a book, my phone for music, and a snack or something- and just spending the next like 5 hours up there.

I think ill clean out the picnic cooler and just stash everything in there with out ice or anything. Ill have to post a pic of our picnic cooler soon. Its super cute and it was under 20 dollars! Plus it rolls and can hold like 30 or 40 something cans. Basically its twice the size of my last one, and it rolls lol. Now, last years cooler can be commited to being our crabbing cooler, and the picnic cooler will be for fresh ice, snacks, and drinks. Plus, the crabbing cooler can fit on the top of the picnic cooler and i can just roll them both 😁

I know im getting boring with this post, i just have a lot of silly stuff on my mind today.

Pretty sure today is my poppas birthday. I try to tune that sort of information out when possible. Becuase i really cant deal with it. Yesterday we went to lunch and were discussing my brothers seizures with my SIL. I noticed when they mentioned biting the tongue that my granny got quieter. She and I were the only ones there when my poppa died. He had an anuresym, but also seized during it, and my granny and i had to try to get his mouth open because blood was pouring out of his mouth where he had almost bit through his tongue. He vomited, then seized, then died. Me and granny both got a bit quieter, and she didnt look up after that point of the conversation. And of course we didnt bring it up. I mean, how would they have known how vivid that detail has been. That for months after he died i would see him seizing and bleeding every time i closed my eyes. Anyway... I cant imagine how my granny feels. I loved my poppa like he was my daddy, but that was her husband, and for her, that was her hero.

Well, i think i just found a source of part of my current stress. 😳😥

Gotta love trauma. And see, I tried a therapist. But rather than just listen to me, he wanted to prescribe me a bunch of dumb shit. I tried the drugs and they didnt help, they made me physically sick. But that was the only help i would be offered. I have panic attack disorder, and the motherfucker wanted me to take antidepressants, even though im not depressed, knowing good damn well that a side effect of said anti depressant, is DEPRESSION. 😡 he just woukdnt listen, it was drugs or nothing, so i stopped seeing him, and left an unpaid balance. I do not plan to pay. Anyway. Lots of shit on my mind, and i have no energy for today.

I really hope gwens feild trip is today and not tomorrow.

i have a bone to pick with plato. see the socratic method is basically the scene in montynpython in which a woman is weighed against a peice of wood to determine if she is a witch. and this is pretty much also the measurement system women use for me judge a cardio junkie by his ability to withstand smoke fumes. ive been up all night listening to eminem because i wish that i had the mysogny that he had because logically i should be mad at these females who lie to me but apparently developmentally theyre limited. 

so pretty much i just want my neck not to hurt and my side and platonic love isn really the kind which could support my lumbar spine but if you think im angry you are right and maybe if i rhyme my brain will work this time and ill finally be able to explain was never targeted at my objects of affections at all i like to walk around the mall see a cutie with a skirt on and she sees me looking at her tells her grandmother to leave her there because this place looks fun as she smiles at me there comes abu my friend who judges me and judges you and as i stare at her i can tell she wants me too probably more emotionally mature than my mom and a virgin with her skirt on and its workun but i have the confidence of a plastic bag floating in the wind shes cheesing while i hide behind her even though shes 4 11 and im 6 4 and because he was there i didnt pass because i dont cross paths but even thinking about having a girlfriend makes him mad. if shes too young for me i would have figured that out but it doesnt help that no matter how young or how old even the weather lady im told shes not right for me so will you make up your mind please can someone define maturity because apparently there is a reverse correlation between it and age and socrates was no sage im not really impressed that he drank poison similarly i smoke weed which takes me back to age three and birthday parties then i think about how much my life failed but only because everyone always stood in front of me. so snitch on me when i talk to you when youre in front of me at your desk and say your story about butterflies is the best begging middle and end. meawhile i havent even gotten to the first page of my legend of the sword it had a much more compliated plot which was cut off. then tell me i didnt count to tenthousand while you were listening to the teacher say the is spelled t h e and put me in a remedial reading class with a bunch of girls and address us as the girls so we can read books about a mouse who lives with his family in a house but if girls and boys are the same how can you explain i was the only one in that group to be bumped up to the advanced on by 2nd grade. i guess reading the encylopedia of animals wasnt a wase memorized their latin names bufo sativa phylobates. so by third grade i was getting so good at math that they took me out of class and had me testing material meant for 5th graders and it was really lame how can i explain all the flaws in the system to all the other people who were also ruined by it.

finally one girl who was definitely old enough for me waved at me when i looked at her and i got a boner and walked over to the ladies at the tea shop who looked at me with a disgusted look on their faces then some gangster looking dude older than i am replaces me with his hand on her shoulder.

before i was 18 i could beat up my dad and ever since then i knew not many people in my generation had much of a chance against me but i looked so thin they were not understanding. high iq causing depression have anothe smoke session even though you have athsma everyone remember to complain that i prefer to get high off one big hit i stayed in high school till i graduated but i left.

unfortunately with brain damage i could still make straight as which made me think i was ok gpa jumping above 3.68 when i only show up an agerage of 3 days.

practice your sky hook do your pushups get embaressed when an asian princess sees you do them 20 hanlaps perfect form and im not even a jock wow id better stop. next thing the girl i like is sitting on my lap in class telling me she likes me back shes sitting on my desk shes rubbing my face my life isnt gay justnsaynsomehing and youll get laid.

nah ill let some kid with adhd steal her seat and ill help him with math instead because i didnt tell her this but im alread braindead. my soul probably died with my pet lizard or my kitten perhaps it was internet addiction. 

what makes you think youll be make it as a porn star? you know im hot. well maybe i just didnt want you to act like a slut. i still remember the blonde who waves at me and smiled my freshman year it was clear that the world was my oyster the only problem was i couldn make my own choices.

i wanted to be an actor but i was so good at acting nobody got it. was so good at debating everyone liked to argue. was so succinct couldnt get the last word. so fast nobody would pass me the ball so dominant in wrestling i had to pretend i couldnt win just to have a friend.

pretty much i feel like the last cro magonon stuck on an island without charlotte saisselin bounce baby bounce three story house you look so cute in a blouse. hey look theres charlottes stalker i think il wave my arms around.

bounce baby is a reference to eigth grade i was watching a 100 meter race and then some black guy said that she never raced again. weed turned her from a goth into a wigger and after that i figured id become one too but it wasnt till 2009 i started to dress like you. what happened was i got some clothes from olympia sports to wear as warmups on the basketball court and to work as a salesman i shaved my head smiled knowing i was dead but still i couldnt even say i wanted to kiss  girl without that not being cool enough for my nephew and her bowl broke too

it fell from her car on the pavement and she said that he didnt even get to hit it.

so now im living in my dads room on the floor and finally my back isnt sore i have a well paying job im away from mom i have iron lungs and dad still doesnt approve because now i play too much basketball.

hi im interested in going to california. i meant connecticut but califonia will do since its warm there. sure steve come on out west but read the fine print your 20s are dead.

prove you wrong shame on me. dont prove you wrong brag proudly. stay out west and let your dad die. watch him act like an asshole at home back east one more time. your reward for having surived on the street for years as a middle clas kid

your friend says he thought you were dead. by the way he has this girlfriend in connectiut. oh you were the one who set him up with her? theres a whole website or three centered around her? 

better get you to spend your money on heroin and make you seem like a jerk in front of my dad. my excuse is im skitzophrenic.

all because my dad shamed me for growing up even crazier than him. thats why i called up my friend and asked him to date my girlfriend. 

there must have been something in those amphetamines which made me keep stopping at her house. i found them up on the shelf years after i tried to spill them out.

it was the first time an adult had ever called me immature. he also said my handwriting was bad and i needed a cure. talking to him i began to get red where even to begin? i have a lot of prblems at home and this isnt fair. see my dad camps in the yard and gets drunk watches us through windows andmy sister punches me in the head. mom pretty much works till shes in bed.

every day she watches the same soap opera and oprah which i record for her on tape. my sisters friends call me gay so i go over and play with the kids from the other neighorhood all day. 

one of them listens to a lot of eminem. his favorite song is if you dont like it you can suck my dick. hes in reform school and proud to be off his meds. when i talk about biking down a steep hill and blending into traffic he thinks i meannliterall blend in.

two gay twin brothers end of the road honor roll kids. play baseball and have alcoholic parents. hey ill tell the girl steve likes he likes her then she will never talk to him again. accept his chalenge to a fight and he will bang my head into a tree which is the same thing i did to another kid who tried to jump me but got sperated from his friends. 

refuse to dance with the only girl in middle school who has hips. make fun of the girls intelligence who sits next to you in math and has giant tits. refuse to eat candy off the first girls tounge then your science teacher who pushed pills on you flips on the tv its 911

stare at a girl all day and say you dont like her. girls think youre gay if you have a boner. telll me a calculator doesnt mattrer for a test but i do worse without one. make a flag pencil it isnt cool enough for the other kids.

sit with the retarded kids timmy and jimmy. watch nick all night fresh prince and bill cosby.

your sister wont stop torturing you so hold her at knife point. buy knives at school try to resell them and for the first time ever the kids you sold them to ge caught witth knives.

stay in the program with three teachers who gave up on you. one leaves to become a dean suddenly your grades go up. kids are jealous because you dont do homework. girls smile at you knowing that your test scores are high despite that.

throw shotput as far as a high school kid without any exercise or practice. run around the track dozens of times in pants you still arent good enough yet.

go to an alternative program reluctantly in high school its sort of like jail. everyone smells like cigarettes the air is stale. this isnt good for you but we will make you think if you leave you will fail.

Because the kids are large scale financial investments anything that rocks the boat, even if it's for the overall health and wellbeing of those investments, dissuades implementation. Which still doesn't make sense considering investors should care more about prolonged market value and profit rather than immediate payment if money is the real reason. Milk them for all you can while you can bc there are plenty if younger kids ready to take their place? Unfortunately for everyone involved. (1/)

I guess 7 is the magic number when members can start branching off to their own thing because they've established themselves in other fields. After promoting as a singular entity for so long, they probably jump at the opportunity to promote themselves in an area of particular individual interest. Def saw that with hyoyeon. With everyone in snsd except her doing something outside of group promos, she kinda faded into obsecurity despite being one of the dancers with the most control in kpop (2/)The produce series has always had evil editing so I am not at all suprised hongki is barely there. Kahi's first bit of substantial screen time in season 01 was devoted to yelling at a girl for not keeping up. Evil editing is so real. It's hard to shake the idea that popular=good when there is a plethora of evidence to back up that idea and very little of technically decent popular media, especially in an industry that values the end goal rather than the process. Kids are anxious to debut (3/).I should make an edit: gfriend sells and theyre changing the idea that a girl group choreo should be easy but after the public turned off to the concept change between their og trilogy to fingertip, somu rethought their strategy by bringing out summer rain and the repackaged even though they are the most boring songs of gfriend's entire discography. Most recent comeback brought back the guitar riffs but kept the harder aesthetic of fingertip. #giveumjidirtyblondehairagain (4/).Tbh I'm all for girl groups who did the whole innocent, oppa! concept when they were 16 performing increasingly mature songs because apink's newest song been my jam. And as for groups with injured members, the reason why staging changes (kneeling -> standing) is bc it is the easiest way to limit use which otherwise can lead to inflammation without changing large portions of the choreo. (6)

after fifty thousand years i reply alskdfj im so sorry technique anon omg hyoyeon is really one of the best dancers in kpop?? huzzah i keep listening to their title tracks hoping one day their music will appeal to me again but rip nothing :( sunny summer was so underwhelming i really wanted to like it but i just :( they seemed to be going on a positive trend though? like u said the guitar riffs came back thats why i was super excietd for sunny summer but then..... ... ahaha but apparently its just a special comeback and like nothing as serious ? and i guess i get it chill summer vibes but it seemed a bit too...chill...for me like i feel like the verses were pretty interesting but led up to an unfulfilling chorus. i really loved semina oh my god. semina and oh my are def my fav comebacks (?debutish? for semina) of the summer in terms of music and in terms of being summeryahahaha i love cute concepts a lot really, and i agree like esp when these kids are so young theres no need to push them to concepts that don’t suit their age. but i guess in terms of personal preference, apinks new comeback is probably my least favorite of everything they released alskdjf is it tropical house? they introduce the song as being ‘tropical’ but im not sure if that means ‘tropical house’ because idk musical genres, but if so, pet peeve #1 = tropical house (even if its not tropical house...the instruments they use alskdjfl god) . then my pet peeve #2 would be the little ‘oh oh oh oh NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH” (i know its more nahnahnahnah but how fast they say it lends itself more to the ‘nyah’ sound and like SLKDFJ) like ive said it before but my ears are incredibly sensitive to any nasality and i literally cannOT get past that nasality and tropical house as a music trend in it of itself is just so SO nasal sounding too in general? man the melodic line is a BOP but i cant get past the instrumental really it bothers me so much. i appreciate the almost fusion with their old apink sound with current music trends though! its still definitely an ‘apink’ songahh i see!! that makes sense!!!

The Midnight Lovers

Summary: After an argument you leave your boyfriend, Greg. Months later your friends ask you on a road trip, only Greg was invited too. What the two of you don’t know is your friends have planned this trip to try and get the pair of you to rekindle. But will it work? Warnings: PURE FLUFF A/N: I love how adorable this chapter is 😭❤️ Feedback is always welcome 😁Have a great weekend! The Midnight Lovers Playlist —————————— Chapter 11 —————— You sat on the edge of the couch drying off your hair while Greg was in for his shower. He managed to get the both of you back to shore and as soon as you arrived back at the camper he put on a warm shower for you and grabbed you fresh clothes, leaving them in the bathroom for you. Once you came out he went in. When the bathroom door opened your head turned to where the noise came from and instantly felt your throat close up and your cheeks burn seeing Greg in nothing but a towel. You and Greg had both seen each other in a lot less clothing but it still took your breath away. He was perfect. "I was...uh..." You stuttered out and looked away from his distracting, muscular, glistening torso "I was thinking when you're...uh when you're ready we could head down to the amusements again or the pub or something..?" You trailed off, your voice slightly trembling. "Yeah," Greg nodded with a smile "You should phone the others and let them know so they can pedal back to shore." "Oh," you muttered out "I was thinking...just the two of us?" Greg went wide eyed, not entirely sure if he heard you right "But if you don't want-" "No!" Greg loudly cut you off, his sudden burst of enthusiasm making you jump "No that's great just me and you. I'd like that." You smiled at him as he glanced around "I'll get changed." Once Greg was ready you both headed for the amusements "How are you enjoying the holiday so far?" He asked. "I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would," you admitted "It's good to get a break from university work. How are you enjoying it?" You asked just as you stepped into the arcade filled with bright lights and loud noises, kids running around with their arms filled with tickets and stuffed toys. "Yeah it's great!" He smiled "I'm glad you came, it's good to see you again." You felt your stomach knot and your heart flutter at the same time inside you at his words. As much as you hated to admit it, you did miss Greg dearly, he was and still is your best friend. You could kick yourself until the end of time for blowing up so dramatically that night. "I'm just as glad. I missed you," you let out a sigh and stood by a claw machine with him, pressing the back of your head to the glass. "I've been so lost for the past few months without everyone...without you." Greg went wide eyed at your confession, without thinking he reached for your hand and tightly held onto it with a smile "I'm always going to be here for you Y/N, I'd never leave you on your own." You gazed into Greg eyes and it felt like they were pulling you closer to him. You snapped out of your trance and looked down to the stuffed animals in the claw machine "How cute is that one!" You squealed and let go of his hand to point to a penguin in the corner of the machine. Greg looked between you and the stuffed penguin "Do-do you want it?" He asked, already inserting coins into the machine. You smiled and shook your head "Greg, everyone knows those machines are a con. You'll never win!" "Fine why don't we make a bet?" He asked with a challenging tone. You encouraged him to keep talking "If I win you that penguin you take my bed for the rest of the trip, I feel bad that you're on the couch." "And if you lose? Which you will..." You teased. Greg shrugged "Then you get to stay on the couch, if you want to that is...my bed is always on offer, and you can tell me that you were right for the rest of our lives. Deal?" You thought about it for a moment, pursing your lips before reaching out your hand for Greg to shake it "Deal." With a determined smile Greg faced the machine. He had four tries to try and win you the penguin. You watched him as the claw dropped it the first time and the second time. On the third try he was close to getting it but it fell just before it reached the gap. You and Greg both let out a string of dramatic 'Oooohhh's' "This time I will get it" Greg told you and you admired his determination, you admired it so much that you had to bite down on your bottom lip to stop you from smiling so much. Lights flashed around on the machine and you let out a long sigh seeing Greg standing there with a penguin in his hands "You were saying?" He asked with a cocky grin. "Fine!" You groaned "You win!" He handed you the penguin and you thanked him. "I'm going to have to put all these stuffed toys I'm getting into storage." Greg laughed "What did you do with that dragon Jim won you?" "It's under Anderson's bed," you told him and began walking around the arcade again "If he falls on the floor he's going to get the fright of his life." You smiled hearing Greg burst into a fit of laughter. A sense of deja vu came over you. You and Greg were always inseparable. Where there was one the other was always nearby. "Do you want to grab some dinner? I'm sure the others will get something for themselves?" You asked and Greg agreed. You sat the penguin next to you in a booth as Greg sat at the opposite side "What are you going to call it?" He asked, glancing up from the menu he was reading. "I think I'll call him PI Lestrade," you softly giggled. "PI?" Greg questioned "What does that stand for?" "Penguin inspector of course! Since you're studying to be a detective inspector although I don't know why it's just like a glorified copper isn't it?" You teased. Greg rolled his eyes "No it isn't!" He whined "How many times do I have to tell you?" You let out a loud laugh just before the waiter took your order. "I missed hanging out with you. Just you..." You confessed and lightly swung your legs under the table, gently brushing them against the side of Greg's legs. It was a soothing motion and Greg didn't seem to mind. "I've missed this too," Greg bashfully smiled "What happened to us?" He asked with a whisper and your gaze fell from him to the table. "I can barely remember," you sadly smiled but before Greg could say another word your dinner arrived. "Oh my god," you groaned "Yours looks amazing!" Greg looked up at you just as he pulled the fork that was full of food out his mouth. He picked up some more and extended the fork to your face and you leaned forward taking the food off it with your teeth as he held the fork. "Mhmm that's really good! Here," you did the same and held your fork out "Try mine!" Both you and Greg enjoyed the others food so much you ended up splitting both portions in half and sharing. After dinner Greg got you both ice cream before you slowly walked back with him to the camper van. "Y-you've got a bit..." He stuttered out and you looked up to him with confused eyes "You've got a bit right there," he pointed to your nose and laughed. You brought your hand up to your face and felt your nose but nothing was there "No I do-Greg!" You screamed as he pressed his ice cream to your nose. He darted away from you and you ran after him with every intention to get him back. When you caught up with him you managed to squish your ice cream to the side of his face, mouth and chin. He let out a loud scream as picked you up from behind, spinning you and the penguin you were still holding about on the spot. "I have to get a photo!" You giggled and Greg gently put you down "I have the perfect caption..." You sinisterly smiled and grabbed your phone pressing your cheek against Greg's to get him in the photo. "What are you going to put as the caption?" Greg asked. "Just you wait...I'm tagging you in it." Greg's phone dinged with the notification and he looked at the photo you put up before reading the caption and letting out a breathy chuckle "Really? You really put 'Greg and I love sticky white stuff all over our faces?'" You burst into a fit of giggles and continued walking back to the camper, wiping off some of the ice cream that started to melt on your faces. "They aren't back yet," Greg glanced around the camper for signs of life. Your phone buzzed and you checked your texts "It's from Jim," you called out to Greg "They went out for dinner, they'll be back in about an hour." "Do you want to move your stuff into my room since I won the bet?" Greg asked with a proud smirk, one that made you roll your eyes. "Fineeeee," you drawled out "You were right and I was wrong!" "Can I get that in writing?" He teased and you narrowed your eyes tightly at him. "Don't make me change my mind!" Greg helped you into his room with your stuff "Uh what the hell?!" You shrieked "You have the biggest room and the biggest bed?!" You walked in and your mouth gaped open "If I knew you had a double bed I would have taken this ages ago!" You laughed. "Well I did offer!" Greg placed your things down "You want to watch some TV while we wait for them?" You nodded with a smile "Sure, I'd love to!" You settled down with him on the sofa, lying with your back against his chest. It felt incredibly natural. You didn't feel Greg tense slightly or hear his breath hitch but he managed to place his arms against yours, lightly holding you in place as you sat in comfortable silence. Both of you with a smile on your faces. ——————— Tags: (Let me know if you'd like to be tagged/Untagged) @adorablebadger @musingsofophelia @damnitman-jamlocked-inthetardis @lock-sherlock @rikkachloechan @holmes-maev @wcsteland @katie27hp @cutie1365 @becky--dixon @daynaan @dontaskmemyfavoritesong @ladygrey03 @elenangzie @ccorpuz1214 @theyre-my-divsion @chrissydarlingwrites
