Cthulhu Returns as a Soccer Dad, in... Tokyo Soul!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / You Are Here!

Last Time on Tokyo Soul...

"So yeah, these are definitely gonna come out slower from now on." -- Me, a Fool

Yeah I have no excuse. But! With this big batch of episodes down, the finale is so close I can smell it. It smells like something witty I'll think of later.

This report contains mentions of: Blood, Violence, Death, Guns Medical Malpractice, Allusions to Sexual Harassment/Assault

So Let's Get Back To It...

Episode 36 – A NEW FRIEND!!

Sam and Grian are on Taurtis’s computer, looking at his search history. He’s been searching for hair growth formulas.

Doughboy has been cooking parts of himself and distributing them to people.

Grian and Sam convince Taurtis to do several very stupid things on the premise that they can cure hair loss.

Geode is having a yard sale of all the trash he’s collected. And also Taurtis’s school locker.

They go to the train station to pick up another one of Sam’s friends, this time from Canada. He and Suspicious Person (remember Suspicious Person? From way back in episode 1?) walk out of the walkway on fire. The train platform is also on fire. Apparently Sam’s friend, Nick, set the fire.

Sam sent Nick Taurtis’s school uniform in the mail.

Sam apparently met Nick in a My Little Pony chatroom, where Nick said he was 14. The boys express doubt about this, given that Nick has a very full beard.

Grian: “We’ve had worse friends.”

Sam: “We were just talking about sports, right guys?” Grian: “Uh huh, sports! Footballfootballfootballtennishockey. Golf.”

I’m obsessed with the way he says this.

The cashier at the convenience store is Hank Kingofthe Hill except his name is Frank Chill. Just. By the way.

Episode 37 – DRAGON BALL Z!!

They all go over to Geode’s yard sale. He is frolicking around in the trash with a knife. He has a “mask” that is just a severed Dom Clone head. Grian wants to buy Taurtis’s locker. Geode just hands him a whole bunch of raw chicken. Geode doesn’t exactly grasp the concept of “sale”.

Another one of those weird aliens from the special has landed in the soccer field, and he’s brought Minions. Yes, those ones.

The alien guy gives a whole Dramatic Alien Speech to the effect of: he heard about Taurtis defeating that other alien guy in the special, and he would now also like to fight Taurtis.

Grian: “On a completely unrelated note, has anyone got any bullets?”

Basically Grian REALLY hates Minions and would really like the opportunity to actually shoot some in real life.

Anime Alien charges up for a good long while, and then Taurtis One Punches him. Then all the Minions charge, so the boys end up killing most of them too.

Sam: “How did you get this powerful, Taurtis?” Taurtis: “I did a push-up yesterday!”

As is tradition, they take Nick to Get His Class Schedule. Sam tells him there’s a fatality rate to the procedure, which I’m not sure I remember anyone saying before so he may just be fibbing. No one died that Sam saw, anyway.

Oh dear. So, Señor Loro is not wearing a shirt, because Geode is wearing his Christmas sweater. It turns out that Geode did, in fact, steal it from him without his knowledge, and attempts to deny ever having it. Despite this, Geode and Señor Loro both profess to being best friends. Grian is skeptical of the idea that someone would steal their best friend’s clothes and go to school wearing them. Sam argues that Grian has done that before. You may be able to see where this is going.

Anyway, Nick and Señor Loro fight. Unfortunately, someone has stolen all of the schedules.

Also this episode has the “Sam is my dog” blooper at the end.

EPISODE 38 – THE DARK LORD CTHULHU!

Chupa won the lottery for 5 cents, so he’s summoning Cthulhu again with a ritual meant to “gaze into time”. The ritual text is more old memes. Everyone makes Grian read it.

The whole class is transported to a room with blank white walls and a whole lot of bookshelves just kind of floating in various places. Igbar Cthulhu is there.

There’s also someone else who looks like a shadow with rainbow hair. Grian “wants whatever she’s smoking”.

Cthulhu has decided not to destroy humanity, and instead let Sam do it for him. Sam is “the cause of it all”. And also “the root of it all”.

Grian wants to know if he’ll ever get out of here. Cthulhu says it’s possible but not likely but also not really no.

Sam wants to know why they can still hear the school bell inside the weird room they’re in. Cthulhu says it’s a pocket space and they’re technically still in the classroom. Grian thinks this is bullshit and Cthulhu is just Saying Words.

Grian wants to know: “How do I kill Sam?” Cthulhu says: “You can’t.”

Also, the rainbow-hair shadow person is Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. Sam and Grian start bullying her.

They transport themselves back to the classroom, and Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep come with them, because they want a front row seat to the world’s destruction. Also, Grian is jealous that Sam gets to be a horseman of the apocalypse and he doesn’t.

Sam is now threatening to destroy the universe when his friends are mean to him. Grian tries to call his bluff. There is a very ominous sound of thunder, but nothing else really happens.

Dr. Nurse has apparently gotten tired of Grian bugging him about “learning” all the time, so he’s taking the class on a field trip inside an ambulance. They’re going to see a car crash!

EPISODE 39 – CAR CRASH!

They arrive at the car crash. There is a man covered in blood standing in front of a burning car. He’s actually mostly fine, but the guy he crashed into, on the other hand, appears to have been… decapitated. Death is beautiful, remarks Cthulhu.

Oh, apparently the other guy is not fine, his organs feel squishy. Dr. Nurse gives him CPR. He dies.

Dr. Nurse gets a report of screaming… at Kurokuma’s house. Kurokuma claims he was just listening to Screamo. They can hear the screams. Once again, no one pays any attention to Grian’s protests. He doesn’t protest very much.

Then they all rush off to help Doughboy open a jar of pickles. Grian is pretty ticked off.

They go back to school for lunch. Grian reveals he took something from Cthulhu’s pocket dimension called a “Sleeping Chaos Potion”. He’s contemplating drinking it. Sam, of all people, points out that it’s probably a bad idea to drink something called a Sleeping Chaos Potion, but he still ends up chanting “chug” alongside everyone else.

Grian drinks the potion, and starts taking damage. Cthulhu says he’ll be fine, there will just be some “lingering side effects”. “If you have dreams about the world exploding, let me know.” This surely won’t have consequences! (But really, as far as I’ve been able to glean there aren’t actually any consequences for this within the canon of Tokyo Soul. I, however, can think of plenty of consequences!)

Also I feel like it’s worth noting, it turns out that Geode milking Dom way back however many episodes ago must have been accomplished with some sort of mod, and not by just hitting him and quickly swapping a pre-prepared bucket of milk into Geode’s hotbar as I has assumed, because every time someone hits someone else while holding an empty bucket, said bucket becomes a bucket of milk named “[username of the person who was hit]’s Milk”. I just thought you should all know that, because I am completely baffled by the fact that they chose to do this and then leave the mod on the server instead of doing a much easier classic filmmaking trick, for what was supposed to be a one-off gag. Anyway. I just had to get that off my chest.

Anyway they’re in gym class and Cthulhu wants Sam to kill Invader. He kind of sounds like a dad at his kid’s soccer game, except instead of soccer it’s the destruction of Earth.

Another Anime Alien has landed on the track behind the school. Sam shoots him and he dies.

Okay so I’m now coming back to this after God knows how long and also after a Very Long Day so I am very tired. We will see how this affects the Energy.

Where were we. Ah, right, this was supposed to be Jerry’s gym class. He’s at a bit of a loss. Jerry is one of the most reasonable and responsible people in this show honestly. Like, he’s trying. No One Else in this school is trying.

Students: So, what do we do for gym class now? Jerry: "Uh. Play?"

Also one of the students falls in a hole and everyone else starts badgering them with the milk buckets and the fishing rods that sound like guns. What is with these people and just leaving weird shit on this server that isn’t supposed to be there? It does add to the Atmosphere, I’ll give it that.

Episode 40 – KILL THE MINION!

Professor Geode has claimed all the unused classrooms as His House. Well, specifically his Holiday Home. He also has a Shop. Grian points out that it’s all very clean for Geode. He finds this suspicious.

Geode has an indoor yard. With sheep. And a Minion. The sheep are also robots?

Geode’s plan for today’s class is to dissect the Minion. Also, Google Docs is still trying to autocorrect “Geode” to “God”.

Geode bloodily slices from the Minion: A Watermelon Slice. A Single Rose. The Minion Energy Core (he’ll save this for later). A Bucket Of Milk. Numerous Garbage Bags. A Potion Bottle Of Blood. More Cores. And A Skull. Sam speculates whether the skull means that the Minion ate a human alive, and then simply assumes it does mean that. Geode then kills the Minion.

Grian wonders if Geode has been learning what friendship is. Taurtis looks directly at the sun.

Taurtis: "Do you ever wonder if we’re alone in the universe?" Grian: "NO."

Oh, Jerry has stolen Geode’s TV. Now I know I just said Jerry is one of the more reasonable characters but I fucking love Jerry and Dom’s TV Saga so he can steal as many TVs as he wants.

Sam remembers that Taurtis technically won a spaceship that morning, so they go over to the soccer field and break into it. The ship pranks them with a fake self destruct sequence, and then the boys accidentally take off for Planet Canada.

And then it’s…… the end of the day, but not the end of the episode? But it seems like it’s still the end of the recording session because they’re now making an excuse for why Grian isn’t there and going off to do some whole other plot? And I’ve decided this is too confusing for this late at night so I’m calling it here for now.

Okay I’m back. Let’s see… Taurtis’s hair is growing back in weird patches because he’s been using a suspicious hair growth serum, Grian got left in Canada and Sam blames Taurtis because the spaceship is technically his.

Taurtis: "He’ll be fine, he’s with Nick- oh, God, you’re right." Sam: "He’s screwed, dude!"

Regardless, Sam has decided that he wants to be a superhero too.

They go downstairs, where the house is covered in “totally not stolen” appliances. Like, not just TVs, there’s also ovens, landline phones, refrigerators, an entire streetlight, and Taurtis’s locker. Apparently this was Jerry and Doughboy’s doing.

Dom seems to be dressed up as some superhero I haven’t heard of. Oh, he’s Rorschach from Watchman apparently.

Some sort of robot appears and says it has come for the “bald one”. It’s here to kill Taurtis before he becomes too strong. It was also sent by someone called “The Steampunker”.

Episode 41 – MEETING SUPER HEROES!

Sam and Taurtis tell the robot to shut up while they argue about which one of them should be the sidekick. The robot starts speaking in binary and then attacks Taurtis, who kills it. Sam and Taurtis continue their argument.

Sam says he’s “contacted” some superheroes and takes Taurtis to meet them. Also, Alex Minecraft is just, like, There and walking around. Wait, there’s some Steves too, a weirdly high amount of people just don’t have custom skins on in this recording session apparently.

They meet up with Sam’s superheroes at a coffee shop. There are also two Inconspicuous Bald Men at the coffee shop. Oh also one of the “superheroes” is Old Kurokuma, currently under the name “Kuma the Lion”.

The other superhero is called Captain Radiator or Luke, I assume he’s meant to be a reference to something but I have no idea what. But he’s wearing a yellow hazmat suit.

Sam wants his superhero name to be “The Strongest in All the Universe and the Leader of All”.

Kurokuma is still a creep.

Sam: "Okay, well my superpower, is… that… Taurtis! He- he neeed me. In the time of need."

Sam is also still insisting that he can destroy the universe because Cthulhu said so. Taurtis continues to doubt this.

Sam is given a superhero outfit. It is a rabbit costume.

Taurtis: "How do you defeat people like that? Do you like, jump on their head like Mario?" Sam: "I kill them with cuteness! And this 50-caliber sniper rifle."

Ah, the Inconspicuous Bald Men are holding up the superstore.

Episode 42 – SUPER VILLAINS!

They attempt to enter the superstore from the roof, but Taurtis misses the jump and gets trapped in an alleyway, so they all just agree to meet him at the front of the store.

Captain Radiator takes off his mask and gives everyone in the store radiation poisoning. It is unclear what this actually accomplishes.

Also, The Steampunker has appeared outside the superstore. He’s captured Invader and wants the heroes to meet him in a warehouse at midnight. The heroes just go there immediately.

Then they spend a Good Five Minutes trying to think of a superhero team name.

Captain Radiator tries to give the robots radiation poisoning, but fails, because they’re robots.

Oh also Invader is just kind of dangling above a vat of goo that supposedly will turn her into a robot. She doesn’t seem particularly distressed or anything though.

Taurtis volunteers to take Invader’s place because he thinks being a robot would be cool. Sam thinks this will put Taurtis under the Steampunker’s control, so they should kill him first. The Steampunker says the robot goo won’t work if he’s dead. Sam decides this means he can take the Steampunker’s place after they kill him and then he’ll be the one to control Robot Taurtis. Taurtis says he’d rather be controlled by the Steampunker.

Anyway, I think they eventually decide they want to kill the Steampunker after all, because Taurtis decides he wants to fight on the edge of the goo vat (because it’d be cool)... and the Steampunker punches him into the goo.

Episode 43 – KILL ME!

Taurtis breaks out of the vat and kills the Steampunker (he tried to let Sam kill him, but Sam failed). Then they try to get Invader down, but accidentally drop her into the vat. And it seems like her face is melting off, so Sam et al. run out of the warehouse like cowards.

Cthulhu shows up to tell Sam how proud he is of him for killing more people and melting a girl’s face off. Nyarlathotep gives everyone Mountain Dew. Cthulhu insults Taurtis’s hair, so Taurtis tries to punch him, it doesn’t work, and Cthulhu electrocutes him with a bolt of lightning.

Sam and Taurtis break into someone’s house and sneak out the back door, so Kurokuma doesn’t find out where they live. It doesn’t work, because they forgot they live with three other people who have no idea what the fuck they’re trying to do.

Dom, Jerry, and Doughboy are just living their best TV stealing lives and I support them.

Once AGAIN they are starting a new day in the middle of an episode and it’s really throwing me off my rhythm!!

Anyway. Taurtis has changed out of his One Punch Man outfit, and he’s in the kitchen angrily trying to make breakfast because, according to him, someone sent him a letter saying that if he didn’t make food, he’d be “fired”. I think it’s implied that Sam sent this letter, and that Taurtis knows this, and that Sam knows Taurtis knows this? But who honestly fucking knows with Sam.

Grian walks in! Apparently he’s “just been in orbit for a while”. He’s very confused about why there are so many appliances in the house. He also acquired his own spaceship somehow, and parked it on the roof.

Is it more interesting if the spaceship simply fell out of orbit directly above “Tokyo”/navigated there on its own automatically, implying that there is some supernatural force keeping Grian trapped there, or if Grian decided to go back there himself? Discuss. I could go either way, honestly, although I would like to find a way to have both, ideally.

Oh, apparently the context behind “Taurtis angrily making food or else he’ll be fired” is that it was something CC!Sam decided he wanted to do like right before filming the scene. “And then you can poison my food or something.” The more you know!

Thank God this episode doesn’t end in the middle of anything honestly.

Grian Trauma Count!

Deaths Witnessed:

Anime alien

Lots of minions

He didn’t actually witness the death, but he did see the decapitated body, so, Car Crash Victim Number the First

Car Crash Victim Number the Second

Grian seems pretty sure whoever was in Kurokuma’s basement died

Anime Alien The Second

Minion

Listen he had to get that second spaceship somehow

Injuries Sustained:

Basically anytime the guns come out I assume he gets shot a few times

Traumatic Events:

Subjected to another one of Sam’s shady friends

A somewhat all-powerful evil being tells him that Sam is going to destroy the world, there’s no way out of this town for him, and he can’t even kill Sam about it

Kurokuma

Sleeping Chaos Potion (even if there are no consequences in the canon series, it did still definitely hurt)

Look, he didn’t seem all that shaken up by the Minion Dissection, but I think it should still count

Got left in Canada. Again.

Next Time... Grian Pushes Someone Into A Big Hole

dmd ftr ep 5 shenanigans: surprise, bitch. i bet you thought you'd seen the last of me

when this episode was nearing the end, it felt bittersweet as i got attached to watching these boys weekly and upcoming series will probably gonna take forever to come out (i am sure they will keep on being active by doing dances on tiktok and selling products on lives etc but i find those contents very tedious, i like my actors acting more). i was wishing for this not to be the end and then, to my surprise, BAMMMM a preview for another episode started playing!!!! but then it was still bittersweet bc it was revealed that they will be singing and dancing throughout the whole episode...

like many other BL fans, there is nothing that turns me off faster than BL boys singing. personally, more than the boys' voices, its the songs themselves i find unbearable to listen to. to my dismay, Thai BL industry loves generic pop and slow ballads, two genres i cant stand listening to. anyhow, i enjoyed the fuck out of My School President, songs and all, so i am open to surprises!!! in fact i am begging to be proven wrong!! and i am glad that they seem to be choosing the winners based on their skills, not by vote or smth else!!!

now back to the episode::::

How Well Do You Know Your Bro challenge was kinda boring because questions were not that riveting but i thoroughly enjoyed Thomas being put down about not getting to play w Kong. i will comeback to that Tee & Kong situation soon.

finally KengNamping won and they got to have some lil old✨💫💞The Special Friendship Time💕💫 ✨. is this what we are calling having a heart to heart on a pseudo-date with your potential work partner nowadays???? during their Special Friendship Time, i was busy taking hundred of screenshots of Namping because he looked so damn good in his fit!!!!!!!!!

pink lipgloss, Celine shades, rainbow mesh sweater, bracelets, Adidas Samba OGs.... cmonnnn

it was sooooo sweet to see them openly talk about their lives and dreams. they had such a progress across these 5 episodes!!! they were finally open about how they want to work together but also things they need to better in order to do so. i cant help but just love their blushing and awkward demeanor!!! it somehow works in their favour.

so funny how keng is admittedly a hard to crack introvert but sometimes his awkward bluntness somehow leads to UNBEARABLY cute moments. like i was climbing up the wall when they were having their final discussion on the bench and keng was being like "who else would i be talking" OR "can we get this over with" while looking Namping in the eye LMAOOO and Namping cant help but just giggle... just some yummy novice fanservice <3

back at the house, Thomas getting jealous over TeeTee & Kong having a talk was funny to me because the it was kinda one of the most obviously produced/edited scenes of this show. i am not going to blame them, maybe they were worried about the show being too conflict free. honestly, i did actually expect Tee to ask Kong to be his partner because nothing gets past me just like Thomas::

we know in all boys sent postcards to each other episode 1 but the show didnt reveal who sent which. well actually, Domundi X account shared a picture of the postcards and (if you have too much free time like me) you can pair the cards w info given by boys themselves in that episode;

another brilliant investigative work i've done in collabration w Paint. also peep Namping's cute duck drawing. honestly what this man cant do???

so hey, Tee sent his postcard to Kong!!! so while folks were on social media making fun of Thomas being overly possessive, my dude was actually onto something!!! his radar was going off and he had to settle the matter!!! i get him, he is like "i''m already an established actor and have a fanbase, just let me get my man so we can maximize our joint slay and leave" and he is so right.........

since the first episode, everyone was tickled by how this show is working like a dating show, me included. but after seeing this comment and similar ones made me think further:

if you think about it, they kinda WILL date??? not on some delulu shit, think about it: they will be shipped, will do fanservice & skinship, spend most of their time together, travel together, co-habit if its required, not just work together but also will be required to take care and trust and depend on each other, FOR at least a couple years if it works out. they will be stimulating "dating", even out of a tv series. being branded pair is a long term job that requires a lot of trust and compatibility. they are also rookies in the industry, so of course they are taking it seriously and discussing their future like choosing a romantic partner.

so, while i felt really sad for Latte as he seemed really worried while trying to look chill about everything, i am glad TeeTee and First chose to not rushing into a pair just to win the show and were honest about still needing time to hone their craft and building chemistry. and i'm not opposed to TleFirst but i still want to see LatteFirst in LUAT as the side couple. i enjoyed them in the pilot trailer and think their roles is going to fit them well. i also dont want to see an actor lose a job for a ship, cmon...

Gems broke my little heart again ahhhh. TBH, Tle clocked his tea when he said Gems should be more confident in himself. its not easy to do so in front of an audience and i'm sure the industry feels like horse race but i hope Gems will be more sure of his abilities in the future and finally have his moment.

on a bigger twist, KengNamping & ThomasKong were the finalist couples!!!

honestly, i have NO IDEA which couple i want to see win. mostly because both pairings give off very different vibes to me. for me, my choice would depend on the plot of this supposed new series, but i dont even know what it is even about.

i was thinking what kind of series i would like to see them in. when i think of ThomasKong, i can see them pulling off a fun and youthful series like My School President, Kieta Hatsukoi or I Will Knock You. w KengNamping, they would look good in a period series like I Feel You Linger in the Air or To Sir, With Love, even though Domundi has already LUAT (which will hopefully come out in this century). i just want to see them in something angsty but also incredibly romantic. should the unimaginable occur and someone from Mandee Works is reading this, feel free to steal ideas!

i am excited for next week, i will be glad no matter the outcome. cant wait to see the crazy stage putfits!!!!

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EPISODE

keng's pink socks, same colour as the namping's blushing cheeks hehe

teetee threatening to drown thomas lmaoooo 🤨im telling yall thomas was onto something w his suspicions, tee is praying on thomaskong's downfall!!

thomas finally being called out for laying it on thick because enough is enough!!!

idk this is a translation thing or not but gems getting brother-zoned gagged me

keng's glasses taking a dip in the water. you lose some, you win some. his glasses are gone but at least he now has a partner. thank god it wasnt the celine sunglasses...

yes king!!!!!!!!!!

[bdbdhdjdhdh]

My Hero PSLE S3E1 "Well looks who's back"

"Surprise, bitch, I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me,"

-Niragi, probably

So like basically Xiao Ming found out that he's actually the reincarnated version of Izanagi, the god that Juqla and Kain worshipped (well, used to worship, until Kain started the whole "LeT's gO FiGhT gOds!" shit).

So anyway he got back all his memories of being Izanagi after touching the random teardrop-shaped blood thingy, and remembered like everything. Just a full summary of everything he remembered:

•Why Izanagi died (cos he got reincarnated): apparently he tried handling the corruption himself but cos his body wasn't meant to handle it like Kain and Juqla were, like the little pussy he was he went mad and killed himself. L bozo-

•And then the true reason why Turbidi (plural form of Turbidus) exist: they were like some sort of mutation causes by the last unresolved residue that Juqla and Kain and Izanagi just sorta forgot about and then it infected someone and then they had kids and then their kids had kids and it eventually became sort of like a recessive gene or something idk I don't take bio (yet)

•Also it turns out Izanagi was a terrible cook but loved to cook and Juqla and Kain would be forced to eat the burnt shit he makes (sorta like Freya but idk)

So yeah. Xiao Ming's whole "godly identity" and whatnot finally revealed. Omg! Top ten anime reveals!

Also it turns out that he has even more to flex now because he's like on a completely different level than the normal gods, like the normal gods are just normal gods, but he is what Kain called as an

Exuvia.

(and yes that's the term for Zhongli's fursuit but whatever)

So anyway Exuvias are something like the creator gods of the universe, multiverse and everything and anything beyond it. They are like the highest and most powerful forms of beings in existence, to ever exist, and shall ever exist. Wah sibeh good flex sia.

"Hey check out these muscles!"

"Aiya stop flexing lah,"

"Hah! I bet you don't even have anything to flex!"

*pulls out Exuvia identity* "Say what now?"

Yeah yeah yeah yeah anyway it's like time for the next adventure (cos now that Xiao Ming is supposed to be like the god of all gods of their world he really donwan to go back to school again so he have to make up some excuse not to be able to go.

Before he died, Kain said that there were two other worlds just like theirs, and that if he explored these other worlds he can find a cure for Juqla and learn more about the Exuvias as well.

Also it turns out that when he absorbed the teardrop-shaped blood thingy right, he also gained back all of Izanagi's godly Exuvian powers.

And that means he can open portals, teleport, steal the entire school's abilities, etc etc.

So of course the first thing he did is to open a portal to go to the next world.

Then Ma Xiao Tiao and Rainslasher said some shit: "Yo wait guys I'm coming with ya'll, Kain is no use to me anymore now that he's dead anyway,"

Well fine. The godly god of all chads and gigachads and also Rainslasher can come I guess.

"Uh... Xiao Mi- Izanagi," Xiao Hua said.

"Yeah, no, call me Xiao Ming, it feels weird when you call me Izanagi,"

"OH GOOD! Ok Xiao Ming, what kinda world are we going to now?"

"Ohhhhh, that, we're going to the land of

Second Warping."

That's it. That's literally the name. So like their world is the first warping and then the next one is the second warping, and etc etc.

[adamsvanrhijn]

okay list of things i think are more likely, avoiding things i know or have a very good idea about due to spoilers / promotional materials / intensely monitoring filming while it was happening last year and also mostly about oscar etc because that's whomst i think about the most and so have thought about in a way that allows me to have a Likelihood rather than just like, a hope:

oscar and maud are getting engaged

john adams is not going to be in the easter scenes but may or may not be in the first episode

i really want laura benanti's character to eat larry russell alive. sexually. and i think i have a good chance to see this.

gladys + duke engagement or courtship. undecided on if the duke is going to be evil or not

george russell IS going to be totally evil. about union busting

brook 👏 family 👏 trauma. i actually have no clue what this means but christine baranski said it so i'm desperately excited to find out

i want maud and marian to be friends and i want gladys and marian to be friends

curious if larry will get a valet of his own. i do think mr. watson is leaving by the end of the season as part of the him + mcneils plotline

i think we have potential for an oscar + maud tennis scene

i want john to show up somewhere that oscar also is but neither of them know the other is going to be there

things i hope for but don't expect to actually happen:

peggy's journalism & the exploration of the founding of hbcus is going to be used over time to get her and elias back together by putting her in his proximity again (i guess i have mixed feelings about this due to the potential implications of him being marriage worthy again after getting an education but that is narrative family stuff and also i do think i trust the writers plural to make it work if they were going to go that route. would not necessarily trust writer singular given his marrying up thing we already know about but that is not the case!)

i wanna see more brooklyn just in general but i'm interested in how that pacing will work. don't really Not Expect just not sure how it will happen

maud is from MA (beaton...) and bonus points if she has a history with john. literally none of that is happening though

i want the cousin ada mentions (margaret i think) to make a real appearance

i have other hopes that i have no idea how likely or unlikely they are that Do span more characters but i will not share those just yet

things i predicted or thought that have already turned out to be false

the deadline article was trustworthy about who was not coming back and about character names

9 to 10 episodes :-(

things i predicted that have already been confirmed to be true (some of these are more obvious than others):

turner surprise bitch i bet you thought you'd seen the last of me married rich moment

marian brook freedom writers diary teach for america teaching is my superpower those who can do teach affirmations moment

ada / robert sean leonard hot priest

anyway here's oscarfall easter sunday moment

bertha not going to get in to the academy of music

e 61st st postman is coming back :-) tbh this wasn't actually a prediction just something i hoped would be true that has now been indicated will be

what are your predictions for s2 of TGA?

i don't make predictions because i don't like to be wrong but i do have as many thoughts as possible in the lead up to something so that the odds are i have thought about it and won't be too upset or taken aback if it happens. and some of those thoughts i place a higher value on than others!

@polyfacetious big ass Christmas Drabble Extravagaza: Day Ten

Miles has been lurking. Kinda. 

Because lurking is a way nicer way to say he’s been kind of, sort of stalking the cute guy who worked at the flower shop. Because homeboy was tall, and handsome as hell, et cetera, et cetera. 

Miles just...needed some time to figure things out. How to go about it. No rushing in half cocked, that’s what his mom would say. Because that’s what Dad would do. And they were trying to keep Dad from doing that. 

Which is how Miles ended up Fresh Prince-ing it, and moving from Chicago all the way to Monte Carlo, to try and help his dad. His parents had been divorced since he was five years old, and honestly the thought of them being together was weirder than anything. 

Mark had never tried to be his dad, and Miles always appreciated that. He loved Mark like family too, but those were shoes no one else could fill. No matter what ocean was between them. So when Mom started worrying about Dad’s mental health, it made sense for Miles to be the one to step up. 

He graduated last year, and this was a free freaking year between high school and college. A year to party and do whatever he wanted, before he buckled down and got his life on track. Chemical engineering degrees weren’t going to get themselves.

And at first, Miles thought about just going for it. Sauntering up in there, handing his phone over to the cute white boy and going ‘hey sexy, call me sometime’. Because if there was one thing Miles was good at, it was getting numbers. And yeah, he could have dropped this whole virginity thing awhile ago if he wanted to, but he was waiting for someone special. 

That was Dad’s fault. Mom and Mark told him a whole bunch of times that sex was just something people did, and as long as he was safe with it, that it was En Bee Dee. No big deal. But Dad...Dad talked about love and relationships like they were some kind of fragile antique. That it was worth it to wait for the right person for your first time. 

And now he was here, and staying here for at least a year, and every time Miles wound himself up to go spit game at the cute white boy florist, he stopped himself. Because Max (he wore a name tag, it’s not like Miles was some kind of creepy Facebook stalker) had real nice eyes and a pretty smile, and he seemed like a cool ass dude. 

You didn’t go in on nice people like that. (Somewhere in the back of his head, he can hear his mom’s voice asking him ‘why would you treat anyone like that, why does their worth define your perception?’ but Miles isn’t listening because he’s eighteen, he can only take so much psychological shit in a day, thanks mom.)

So now Miles was trying to figure out how to do this right. Because it was decided, which maybe he shouldn’t decide shit without actually talking to the guy, but too late. Miles was going to date the cute white boy, and he was going to do everything right, full meet cute and shit, and he was gonna win him over, then get his cherry popped all romantically. It was a Plan. Capital letters and everything.

But he’d never actually done this before, and the books in the romance section in Dad’s shop weren’t super helpful. Probably because most of them were super heteronormative and lame, but Miles had snuck out some pearls of wisdom. 

Like...food. Food was always the way to win somebody over. If you were into somebody and they didn’t like food, then you needed to clear the fuck out and find somebody else. 

So Miles decided that he was going to win Max over with food. And after an afternoon group chat texting spree with Mark and Mom, who was definitely not working even though she was at work, they decided that Miles cooking at home would be too intense to start off with. Way too much room for rejection. Also, Miles couldn’t cook for shit, so. 

Take away. That’s what he was going to start with. The good stuff, from Diego’s, because you had to eat it fast, while it was still warm, so it gave Miles a reason to stick around the flower shop and talk. Then maybe by the time they were done eating, he could drop an ask for Max’s number and walk out of there, smooth as butter. 

Now, he just had to survive Diego and get the tacos. Which was easier said than done, because Diego liked to talk mad shit, especially once he realized that Miles spoke Spanish. (And Miles realized that Diego stuttered way less in Spanish, so he dusted off his Rosetta Stone and practiced that shit at night, just to make sure it was all fresh in his mind.)

Thankfully, it was late enough in the afternoon that the line wasn’t too long. Diego’s got mad busy around noon, because everyone knew when he started cooking fresh and they wanted to get the food right off of the grill. 

But Miles, he knew the better secret. If you waited for the lunch crowd to thin out and bail, then Diego would have to make stuff fresh for you anyway. Still the same fresh off the grill meat and tortillas, but none of the wait. 

Then again, Miles didn’t have a job to get back to, so maybe that had something to do with why his secret tip worked for him and not for anybody else.

“Que pasa, homie!” Miles throws his arms out wide when he steps into the little shop, and is greeted with Diego leaning across the counter to smack knuckles with him, and then pull Miles into one of those single armed hugs that dudes did. 

“You’re late today.” Diego glances up at the clock. It’s closer to two than it is to one, and Miles has made a habit of being here about fifteen after one, most days. 

“Yeah. I was texting with my mom, you know how it is.” Diego’s eyes are big and brown and warm, lips tugging up into a smile. You wouldn’t live if you said it to his face, but everybody knew Diego was a Class A Mama’s Boy. 

“Yeah, for sure.” Diego smacks him in the arm one more time before he turns back to the flat top behind the counter. “Your usual?”

There’s a pang of nerves, like drunk butterflies behind Miles’ ribs. “Two actually.” That gets him a raised eyebrow from Diego. Dad usually ate with M’Baku and James at the book store. And when they ate lunch together, it was almost always at Tony’s. (Because Tony would feed Dad for free, that place was not cheap.)

“Two huh?” It doesn’t take more than a second for Diego to hone in on it. Dude was like a sexy, stuttering shark. “You got a date or something, hermano?” 

See, that was tricky. Because Diego was opening the door up to talk shit about him, but he was doing it in a way that made Miles feel warm and fuzzy. What a jerk. “Hopefully.” Fuck it, there was no such thing as too much input. “I’m gonna take it over to the hot guy at the flower shop and see if I can get the digits.” Miles holds up his phone, giving it a little shake. 

“Max?” Diego’s laughter is big and bright. If ever there was a dude who guffawed, it was Diego. “Man, I wouldn’t have pegged him as your type.”

See, there it was. Here came the shit talking. But for once, Miles was ready. “Nuh uh, man.” He waggles a finger in Diego’s face, after he shoves his phone back into the back pocket of his jeans. “You don’t get to come at me about being white boy thirsty, you hear me?”

That earns him something that’s somewhere between a cough, a laugh and a gurgle, and Diego gives him the finger, chopping the meat up on the grill with the other hand. Yeah, being a mama’s boy wasn’t the only thing Miles knew about Diego. Homeboy had it bad for Klaus across the street. 

But Miles can’t leave it at that, and it’s not like he can talk to his parents about this part. They’d just ‘aww’ at him, and he can’t take that. “He’s hot, okay? And he seems nice.” Seems, because Miles has never actually talked to the dude. He just hopes Diego won’t poke holes in his plan, here. They didn’t need a Titanic situation happening. 

“Max is cool.” Diego agrees, dumping the meat into the corn tortillas in their red and white checked cardboard containers. “He knows a crazy lot about flowers, too. When I wanted to send some to my mom, he walked me around through there and told me what all the different ones meant, and how people used to send love letters with flowers. That shit was wild, like even the color mattered. Can you imagine? Sneaking somebody a random ass bouquet of flowers but instead of it really being random, you were telling them that you were crazy in love with them and wanted their body.”

Diego hands over the two containers of street tacos, a couple of napkins tucked underneath so that Miles wouldn’t forget. They go easy into Miles’ hands, and his thanks is swallowed up by Diego continuing to talk. “Play it cool, man. I don’t think he gets hit on a lot. So it might take him some time to realize that you’re actually into him. So don’t freak and bail, okay?”

Miles would love to take offense to that, except for the fact that he’s absolutely the kind of dude who would freak out and bail at the first sign of rejection. He had a delicate soul, okay? Fine, fine he could figure it out and power through the teeth grinding mortification of waiting to see if somebody was into you. 

“Yeah yeah, I got it. Play it cool.” Miles backs up towards the door, pressing down his left heel and his right toe to do a little about face before he gets the gross, mushy shit out. “Thanks man, you’re the best.”

And of course, his emotional maturity is rewarded with Diego shouting ‘I LOVE YOU BABY, YOU’RE SO GOOD TO ME’ and making obnoxious sucking  kissy noises as Miles hurries out of the door and onto the street. Miles could still hear him with the door closed. What an asshole. (Miles loved the shit outta him.)

It’s four buildings down and crossing the street before Miles finds himself in front of the Midgar Flower Shop. And it’s only when he’s standing there that Miles realized he didn’t even check if Max was working today. What the hell was he going to do with extra tacos if Max wasn’t here? Miles couldn’t give them to the pretty brunette, he didn’t want her to get any ideas-

-”Max is inside. I’ll be back in thirty minutes! You guys have fun!” Speak of the adorable devil, Miles swears a blue streak as the pretty brunette pats him on the back and actually fucking skips away from him, her ponytail bouncing in the breeze. Someone really needed to put a bell on her. 

Miles pulls in a deep breath and steps inside, all those worried butterflies in his stomach turning into dancing ones when Max looks up from where he was cutting the stems on some flowers, and smiles at him. “Hey. What can I do for you?”

Miles offers over one of the containers of street tacos, his heart sitting high in his throat.. 

“Diego was having a special.” No he wasn’t. “Buy one, get one free.” He would never. Stepping up to the counter, Miles puts Max’s tacos down, in case he needed to make a swift exit. 

“You looked kinda hungry, so I figured I’d see if you wanted them or something.”

Kinktober 2020, Day Thirteen

Dabi x Reader

Warning: NONCON, Degradation, Bondage?, Somnoplilia, Smut, etc.

This is not going to be very good. At least, I don't think it is. I've written Noncon before but I was nervous since I've never written it on this platform in particular. But if you are not comfortable with Noncon fic, do NOT read.

You sighed in exasperation. The last thing you wanted to do was walk home so late at night, but here you were. There had been far more villian sightings and the thought made you shiver.

You quickly got home and into your apartment, locking the door. With one more sigh, you made your way over go the couch and sat down. You hated your job. The hours were long, your co-workers sucked, and it was extremely boring. But the pay was great and that's what mattered most to you.

Closing your eyes, you could told yourself you could finally relax. 

That's what you thought at least. 

Suddenly, something cold was pressed against your throat. Your eyes flew open and you gasped at the scarred man standing over. Dabi only smirked down at you, almost as if he knew you. "Welcome back, Y/n." His free hand gently pet your head. Your eyes were wide with fear. "Who.. Who are you..?" You surprised yourself by not stuttering, but the tremble in your voice was evident.

Dabi gave no answer. He only walked around the couch and knelt in front of you. "You're real cute, you know that? I've been waiting so long for this, babe." He looked you up and down. Your eyes followed the knife, but he quickly snapped his fingers to force your attention back. "Eyes on me."

You were terrified. You could try to fight back, but what if his quirk was stronger than yours? Or what if he was stronger than you? What if he killed you? He seemed to know you, but how? His face was familiar, but not something you'd ever seen before in person. 

That's when you noticed his hand trailing up your thigh. On instinct, you shoved his hand away. "What the hell do you think your doing?" You glared at him. Dabi chuckled, the sound deep and dark. "Ooh, so brave." He stood grabbed your by the hair, tossing you on the floor. Before you could stand, you felt his knee push into your back. You struggled, though the attempted was futile. 

You were defenseless. 

Dabi's hand came down to smack your ass and you yelped, clawing at the floor. Dabi saw something different though. "Are you squirming? Those pants getting frustrating already? I got it." Using the knife, Dabi started to cut into your jeans. 

Hearing the tear of fabric really made things settle in your mind. This man was going to fuck you, whether you wanted it or not. And with that thought, you immediately switched gears. "N-No! Please, please, stop! I'm begging you!" You thrashed as much as you could.

Dabi didn't stopped cutting when your ass and the back of your thighs were exposed to him. He went on to cut at your underwear. Pulling the belt from his waist, he forcefully took your hand and bound your wrists behind you. His knee was removed and you heard him stand. With a bit of a struggle, you managed to get yourself on your knees.

Dabi stood next to you, his pants pulled down enough to expose his hard cock. You couldn't help but blush at the many piercings going up his cock, to the tip where one more resided. You quickly turned away, only to have him grip your hair and turn you back towards him. "Open up, Dollface. Or I burn this whole place down and leave you tied up in here." You saw a flicker of blue and everything clicked. 

You knew who he was. He was a villian and a dangerous one at that. You'd heard from from your friends Todoroki and Midoriya first hand, how he set a forest to flames, how he kidnapped Bakugou. This guy was no joke and didn't care who got hurt in an attack. Whether it be a group of kids or you.

Now knowing the degree of what you were dealing with, you hesitantly open your mouth. You felt tears gather in your eyes. He smirked and shook his tongue. "Ah, ah. Stick that tongue out for me." He urged. You whined softly and slowly pushed your tongue out. He teased his tip at your tongue for a moment before pushing you down on his cock. You gagged and closed your eyes, finally letting the tears fall and sobbing around his cock.

"Oh, don't act like you don't want this. Bet your excited to have this cock in your cunt, filthy slut. What? Are you just sad I'm fucking the wrong hole?" He growled, thrusting the tip deeper into your mouth. All you could do is drool and gag, keeping your eyes closed tightly. "Fuck, you take it so well. Who else's dick are you sucking to be this good? Look at you. Bet you get passed around a bunch, yeah?" His eyes closed and he allowed his head to lull back.

You started to struggle, desperately needing air. Dabi chuckled softly. "Should I leave you like this? Let you pass out and just fuck you back into consciousness?" You wanted to shake your head, beg, anything. But you couldn't. And Dabi delivered, fucking your mouth until your eyes rolled up and your consciousness faded.

Dabi continued to abuse your mouth for another minutes before pulling out. Your tongue fell from your parted lips. He chuckled and shoved you forward, ignoring the thud of your head hitting the floor. Getting on knees behind you, he lifted your hips and allowed his fingers to tease at your slit. "Fuckin' hell. Wet already? Just from me fucking your filthy mouth?" 

In one swift movement, he had his cock buried deep inside of you. You gasped and moaned out with each thrust, your body reacting to the treatment honestly. "You're howling like a bitch in heat. Was this what you wanted?" He smirked. Your pussy fluttered around him as he continued to hit that special spot. 

His hands worked on ripping your already torn  jean down. Once they were out if the way, his fingers found your throbbing clit and rubbed quick circles into it. You gasped and whined loudly. The knot in your stomach pulled you back into the world of the consciousness and and you couldn't stop the noises spilling from your lips. "I-I.. N-No, I- Ah!" You clenched your fists. 

"You what? What's wrong? You get a little dick and suddenly you can't speak? Suddenly your dumb?" He growled. You cried out and came undone, gushing around his cock. He groaned loudly and continued his assault. "Fuck. At least your good for something. My dumb little whore, isn't that right?" His tone was mocking but you couldn't help but clench around him. 

His thrusts became erratic and sloppy. A sign that he was close. Your whimpered loudly. "P-Please, not insid- Ngh! P-Please!" You begged. Dabi laughed and sped up. "What? Fuck no. I'm gonna fill you up. And your greedy little cunt is gonna swallow it all up. Cause that's what sluts get, you hear?" 

Your eyes widened and you tore up again, whining loudly. A sob fell from your lips as he groaned and came. Dabi groaned as your pussy milked him, tightening almost as if it wanted more.

And he was happy to oblige.

Bookish Pet Peeve + other things...

Surprise, surprise bitch. I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me ♡

Okay, so enough of that “pop-culture” reference and let's go straight to my topic: ME NOT LIKNG YA CONTEMPORARIES, yes folks, you read that right. Lmao. I’ve got a few reasons but the most important is, I think, I’m literally getting tired of the same plot, same kind of characters, same kind of ambiance they all have (WORST GENRE EVER) (can you believe I’m listening to Born to Die rn. LOL #gayaf). YOU KNOW, those “loner brown-haired girl caught the attention of this outcast mysterious bad-boy that’s not really a bad-boy, he just likes wearing black skinny jeans and leather jackets and etc. etc. they fall in love” Can’t they all be like The Raven Cycle or the Six of Crows duology that has likable and lovable characters and a VERY engrossing plot that’ll make you feel excitement whenever you turn the pages. ♡

the raven boys + blue sargent (fanart by azeher) ♡

Six of Crows (fanart by kevin wada)

Even the LGBT YAs. Ugh. The only LGBT YA contemporary that I think stood out is Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. Now that book is quite magical, I literally cried after reading it, the passages that Benjamin Alire Saenz delivered are so exquisite ♡ and the dynamics of the boys with their parents are something that’s not usually seen in YA ♡

Aristotle and Dante (fanart by junknight) ♡

Enough of that YA rant, LMAO. So recently I’ve been buying and reading non-YA books (uhm, is it just called adult books now? Sorry, HAHAHAHA), Dan Brown’s and Neil Gaiman’s specifically. Tho it’s not the first time that I read adult(?) novels, I think my first one was Shopie Kinsela’s chic-lit I’ve Got Your Number which made me laugh so hard while reading it. The next one I think was John Grisham’s thrilling, intense novel The Pelican Brief. (Fun fact: mama and papa loves John Grisham, got probably a dozen of his books, lol.). Right now, I’m currently reading Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. I’m kinda excited to read more of Gaiman’s works since I’ve only heard good things about him. American Gods and Anansi Boys are on the top of my Gaiman list, followed by The Graveyard Book (sounds like children likes macabre books now, it’s a middle-grade book.)

Now ends my post. Seriously, I dunno when’ll I gonna post again. Probably next week??? It’s 2 AM, I’m sleepy af sooooooo

♡ vonaerys ♡

PS: those things I said about ya contemporary are my own opinion ♡ if you like contemporaries I think that’s cool, at least someone likes them. lol

PPS: I’m not gonna sleep immediately, gonna read this web comic I stumbled upon while searching for fanarts. HAHA ♡

How does Kelantir survive in the au?

UNPROMPTED ASKS // always accepting.

Even in canon, it is made clear she knows something is wrong, and she does realize they are going to be killed, just not in time to escape it anymore because the inn is sealed off. In the AU she survives, she survives by using her Light powers in the right moment, so the shield protects her from the explosion, at least for the most part. She is still bruised, and she is still hurt by debris etc, but she survives; it is a narrow escape, and she definitely struggles to get herself out of there, but eventually she succeeds — and by then, no one really expects her to have survived anyways (in fact, I sincerely doubt the kor’kron bothered with checking to see if their targets were really dead, because exploding the building they were in with no way out does seem like Kelantir and Farley would not have anyway to escape alive). But considering she knew what was coming moments before it happened and she is a paladin and therefore can call upon the Light to make her invulnerable for a limited period of time, I think it is feasible that acting on the right moment she would have been able to save her life — and that it was less a planned act and more a knee-jerk reaction that kept her alive (because if she had been thinking, she’d try to protect her friend rather than herself).

Following that, she would have tried to hide and steer clear of anywhere anyone who might recognize her and tell Garrosh and the Kor’kron she was still alive, so she’d definitely stay away from Orgrimmar or Razor Hill, but tbh I haven’t thought of it in depth enough to give you an accurate explanation of what she did after surviving the explosion; for the most part, I imagine she stayed away from cities as much as possible, and survived with whatever she could manage to get (be hunting or stealing). She might? Have had someone’s help? Which would make everything a lot less hard on her, but I don’t know who would be able to help her and that she would trust. She wouldn’t go back to Quel’thalas, because while it’d be what is safest for her, she knows it would be a risk for her people if Garrosh found out they were protecting a ‘traitor’ and even if someone was willing to risk it, she wouldn’t be willing to risk them, and getting there from Kalimdor, there’d be a great risk someone would find out. Either way, she would have had limited access to information due to her limited contact with people, and probably didn’t hear about Garrosh’s defeat immediately, so she lived like that (whatever that was asdjfsnf) for around a year.
