#the OG homewrecker if you will

[ittybittyluci]

I just gotta ask!! Why do you think the reasons Lucifer's relationship with Lilith nosedived? How would YOU handle that aspect of the show were you involved in the show? Do you think Lilith is possessed by eve? Do you think he should/would get back with Lilith or try and move on, either just with Charlie or just being friends with her like divorced parents on good terms?

Oooo! Look at this, what a question! And I am happy to answer!

As for what I think the CANON reason for their relationship going sideways, honestly I have absolutely no idea. However, here’s how I would go about writing that (and it’s similar to how I touch on their relationship in my fic What Time Is It. It’s not centred around their relationship, just Luci, but they do have a small arc and I talk about their history)

Anyways. EHHEHEM!

————

To be honest, I think it would be extremely interesting to write a narrative where Luicfer became an uber depressed shut in, and Lilith didn’t know how to deal with it so she left. It would make a narrative of good character complexity that wouldn’t villainize either part, and would be pretty accurate to how poor mental can have a negative impact on relationships irl too. On one hand, Lucifer is hurting and needs support, but on the other hand they have a daughter and Lilith shouldn’t be forced to take care of him if it’s not what she signed up for.

I also like the idea of her just… not being able to fully grasp how much losing his home hurt him. The place she got cast out of was beautiful, sure, but the only other person was an asshole to her. Lucifer grew up w/ a family and people he cared about and wanted to do right by. She never understood how much that hurt, and this was never able to sympathize with him. Part of her views him as weak and sensitive, part of ehr feels BAD for thinking that because he’s her husband. In the end, however, she thought it would be best to take Charlie and leave because she didn’t want their daughter to see Luci so low.

Alternatively, Lucifer was so deep in his depression that he inadvertently ended up neglecting his duties as both a father AND a ruler, and pushing them on her. He loves his wife and child, but he spends most his time in his office. When he WAS near Lilith, he was clingy and desperate, and overly sensitive about everything because he was afraid that SHE was going to push him away too. Creating a sort of self-fulfilled prophecy for himself. However none of that is REALLY his fault because he grew up in a world where he was just supposed to be happy and perfect, where there was no real depression that anyone got help with, and the w as cats to a place where therapy was never really an option.

Ofc it didn’t start off that way, but as the millennia went by things got worse and worse until Lilith left, and Lucifer completely shut himself off from Hell, thinking his family (and any potential friends he MAY have made) were better off w/o him because he always managed to fuck things up.

Personally I think that’s one of the more compelling approaches the story could take. It just makes both of them feel more human, make u able to sympathize with them, and doesn’t completely villainize either of them. It’s just a messy, complicated situation that neither knew how to handle. But they both still love each other deeply. If they DID choose to go this route in the show, I think they COULD move forward if they just got better communication, and found someone to help them navigate the complexities of the relationship. Lilith would have to learn to be more understanding w/ Luci during his bad days, and Lucifer would have to work on himself to get better, and help take off some of the workload.

(As for what Lilith’s doing in heaven,.. honestly no real clue. There’s too much info we don’t know for me to make a guess that isn’t just COMPLETELY fanon. I kind of know how it would work into the above topic if I took some big leaps, but I don’t wanna get TOO outlandish w/ this post. So we’ll just leave that alone 😅)

Anyways, THANK YOU for this ask! It was so fun to write and speculate and PLEASE let me know what you think ;)

Bakugan it's one of the few franchises we're they didn't hesitate to show hate towards it's first main female lead (Runo)

The show never gives her the recognition she deserves minimizing her achivements and the same anime jokes about her body using Julie as a better example

And it's worse on season 2 were the joke still prevails and I think the anime treats her like if she isn't pretty like the other girls I think the anime never gives an indirect comment about her beauty like the other girls received.

Add to this, season 2 treated the og girls like jokes who can't defend themselves or even flandarized their true personalities (Runo and Alice) so they won't interfiere with the "real team"

And the cheery at the top, fandom treats her like a homewrecker in regards of dan/Shun or like the worst person on earth for being a teenage girl who tried to defend herself with what she knew and called out the bs of dan

The character deserved more respecto from the source...

Localization truly affected the perception the audience has on her...

Quite normal for any female lead...

Oh, Runo, Runo. My precious little summer child.

Runo is certainly one of the most underappreciated, misunderstood, and demonized characters in the show. Even I, a passionate Runo defender, had a preconceived notion that Runo was loud and abrasive before I had even watched the show properly (all thanks to my vague childhood memories.)

In universe, her brawling skills are looked down upon, her appearance is ridiculed, and she’s often made to feel as if she does more harm than good. In fandom spaces, she’s mischaracterized as being an unreasonable, stubborn, and argumentative loudmouth who’s always mean to Dan. Despite being one of the nicest and most considerate characters in the show, everyone, including the writers, seems to have it out for Runo in some way.

When it comes to Runo’s appearance, it’s hard not to feel as if the writers find some sort of twisted pleasure in constantly pointing out how Runo’s appeal as a girl falls short in comparison to her peers. The Misaki Café was all but deserted until Alice showed up and the customers (grown men, mind you) don’t hide how disappointed they are whenever Runo is left as the only waitress. This, of course, makes Runo feel inadequate since she’s the daughter of the owner and yet, she hasn’t contributed to the popularity of their restaurant.

Julie’s comments about Runo’s body can also be viewed as the writers further cementing that Runo is unappealing because of her physique and lack of traditional femininity. This is something that is proven repeatedly with every new waitress that’s more popular than Runo. Alice, Julie and Mira are all more physically developed and are shown to be desired by many boys, unlike Runo who constantly gets the short end of the stick and is made fun of.  

Hell, Runo can barely get a decent compliment from Dan on their first date! He’s made inappropriate comments about her weight on at least two occasions, and was checking out cute girls right in front of Runo, two episodes after she risked her life to see him. The show will never give her a fucking break.      

Also, the “Runo is a tomboy” thing just doesn’t make any sense. She wears skirt and dresses, her room is full of pink furniture, she owns a dollhouse, and she seems very interested in jewelry. And yet, the show (and the English dub more so) attempts to portray Runo as if she’s ‘not like the other girls’ when that’s the furthest from the truth.  

Now, on to the treatment of Runo, Alice, and Julie. It’s no secret that season 2 was horrendous when it came to those three, for the specific reason of convincing the audience that keeping the girls away from the plot was for the best. They were either not strong enough, not confident enough and/or they constantly screwed up somehow. Let’s see:

Alice was:

Tricked by Lync and inadvertently helped him get back to New Vestroia, thus enabling him to spy for and help out Spectra with his plans.

Scared of brawling even though her whole character arc in the previous season was about accepting that part of herself.

Made to feel weak for losing to Shadow and for allowing him to destroy her grandfather’s lab.

Julie was:

Written as overly flirty towards a boy that wasn’t her boyfriend, all to fuel a pointless one-episode love triangle. (Though, the repercussions of this episode’s writing on her character were immense.)

Made to feel guilty about how Billy inadvertently exposed the Brawlers’ location to the Vexos by visiting her.

Runo was:

Written as a lovesick fool who almost got herself trapped between dimensions trying to see Dan again. This had a ripple effect on the Resistance’s otherwise promising momentum, allowing the Vexos to go to Earth, the Resistance to get split up and captured and as mentioned previously, almost got Runo killed.

Willing to endanger herself again by leaving Marucho’s house so she could oblige Dan’s request of eating homemade curry, causing Mira to go after her and subsequently lose her Subterra energy to Mylene.

Runo lost all sense of reason whenever Dan was involved, Alice’s character development had seemingly regressed, and Julie immediately dropped the boyfriend that she had real feelings for. It’s frustrating to see this when they all had such great personal growth and meaningful storylines in the first season. Remember when Runo learned that she shouldn’t let the fear of losing her loved ones take control of her life? When Julie learned that she shouldn’t compare herself to others and that she doesn’t have to be great in order to matter? When Alice realized that she liked to battle and that it wasn’t something to feel ashamed of?

I understand that the narrative focus couldn't always be on Runo, Julie, and Alice. There are new characters introduced every season who deserve a chance to shine as individuals. But that doesn’t mean that our existing characters should get worse. Runo was more worried about not being near Dan 24/7 than she was about Tigress being captured! Masquerade was somehow still present inside Alice’s mind and telling her to fight despite previously disappearing to let Alice stand on her own two feet as a Darkus Battler! Julie is still used as a tool for instigating useless love triangle plots that accomplish nothing except for making it seem as if she jumps from guy to guy! This isn’t just limited to those three (Chan Lee, Elfin, Mira) and it’s just. infuriating as hell to see.

As for the fandom, Runo's character seems to garner mixed responses. Some hate her and some don't. She seems to be well liked on Tumblr but not as much on Reddit (go figure.) When it comes to Shundan fics, I skimmed through the majority listed on AO3 to see how they portrayed Runo. Here's what I found:

(I recommend clicking on the images for an easier reading experience)

Out of the 28 English-written Shundan fics listed on AO3, there were 5 fics that depicted Runo in a negative way, 10 fics where Runo was mentioned but her characterization didn't stand out in any particular way and the rest didn't mention Runo at all. There are Shundan fic writers who unfortunately portray Runo in a bad light to prop up Shun as "the better option" but it looks like they're in the minority.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if much of the hatred towards Runo stemmed from Dan fans being upset over how she constantly calls their golden boy out lol. Either that or because of the English dub, as you mentioned. I have previously talked about this and shown some examples here where Runo has completely different reactions to certain situations depending on the dub. It’s no wonder why we’re given the impression that Runo is unreasonable or mean or argumentative when this is how the English dub presents her to its western audience.

melvins will try so hard to make you think they dont hate will because he likes mike/is gay… but then confuse the core four for the og party (discluding him), call him a homewrecker, put him in the trauma olympics with el to say he went through nothing, call him slurs, edit him out of canon screencaps, villanize him for being human and feeling hurt, villanize him for communicating with his best friend about how he feels or telling el not to lie to mike, etc.

and then gaslight fans for actually understanding the writing of the show, saying they’re reading too much, or you’re just using him for a gay ship. like shut the fuck up oh my god. YES, maybe his sexuality does tie with his character arc…!! why is that a BAD thing? 😭 genuinely, cause i don’t get it. his whole arc is described as a “coming of age” by the writers themselves. it makes sense why people would focus greatly on his identity…? the show does it itself!

[sukibenders]

Looking back at Girl Meets World, it will forever irritate me especially for how they handled/treated Angela. Oh this show really hated black women because how do you not only 1.) describe her, one of (correct me if I'm wrong) only few black and MAIN characters of the og show, as a "concept" 2.) have characters show obvious disgust at the small mention of her name 3.) depict her as a homewrecker for a new relationship that, really, shouldn't have ever happened 4.) have her old friends treat her like dirt and her old lover like she is the root of his problems, when there was nothing but positive love there 5.) reuse all the concepts from said previous love story just to elevate the new ship with a yte woman and 6.) compare her to Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest hurricanes that caused significant numbers of death, harm, misplacement, and trauma to people, largely of whom were black? Mind you, all these points I mentioned were toward the only main black character of the OG show before the spinoff, and the only, from what I can remember, black female character of the spinoff who didn't even stay long. Not even getting into the racist drama with some of the members on set, but you cannot look me in the eye and tell me that the way the show handled Angela, her story, and her relationship with the other characters + Shawn wasn't fucking disrespectful, you can't because I won't believe you.

Day 1: Overall Favorite Character

Billy Quizboy

(PSA: LONG POST)

if you follow me on Twitter, this may either surprise/shock you or you might be thinking: "go onnnn..." -eye emoji-

The early seasons of this show introduced me to several characters who I grew attached to as the show progressed. Billy did genuinely get my attention the first two seasons (and he and Pete certainly are tied as favorites of the series in my heart) but it was Season 3 that really made me fall hard for the show (and I had already blessed this show as "#1 Favorite Animated series in my heart" by the end of Season 1)...and with the show, I not only fell hard for him but in general fell in love with Billy as a character.

I'm the same age as Billy IRL rn. While I never lost an eye or a hand in an accident, my eyes have certainly put me through the wringer (I had a lazy eye has a kid and did wear an eye patch at one point in my childhood), and I've worn glasses twice (once as a kid and currently as an adult). I never let my disability hinder me as a person (I have a learning disability that I've overcome since my childhood but a few things still make me unable to function financially as an adult) but despite everything I'm kind, caring, loving, loyal person and I do the right thing and I love my friends.

(KEEP READING)

Billy spoke to me in so many ways and it was just so nice (refreshing in a lot of ways) to not only have a character I wanted to ship my OC with but also a character I can relate to. I do collect action figures and love the things I enjoy & my mom is actually a really cool person who would throw hands for me if I asked her to.

I love Billy's journey throughout this show and I love how in S3 he's going crazy over OG Team Venture, etc but in Season 7 he's not taking anyone's shit anymore and he's been through so much and he basically told Jonas Venture Sr. to fuck off bc Billy has morals as a doctor and he's not budging from that. Likewise with Rusty, despite Rusty being his childhood hero, Billy is not afraid to tell him to quit whining about his life (I love the bit in the movie where it cuts from Rusty on his soap box TO BILLY'S "SO DONE WITH THIS SHIT" FACE and going, "Are you quite finished?").

It's also so funny that I'm the BILLY FAN in a group of people where 3 or more are the PETE WHITE FANS. Like we all love them both of course, it's just funny that I'm THE Billy person. Which I don't mind ofc. I love Billy very much.

...

of course Season 5 decided to be a homewrecker and give me St. Cloud (who I have come to love immensely...HEY REMEMBER WHEN I SAID "IF YOU FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER"...).

I can't help but cackle because what are the odds that I would be so sold on Billy for the first 4 seasons & I was like "HE IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER AND I WILL LOVE NOBODY ELSE EVER..."

THEN THE MOST *MERE-CODED "PERFECT FOR MERE" CHECK BOXES & EVERYTHING* CHARACTER SHOWS UP AND I'M LIKE

But my hijinks aside, I love Billy so much. He's so well written and just an all around awesome character and truly a hero. He's my gallant Quizboy <3 also it goes without saying, I love his friendship with Pete White. They're my favorite duo on the show bar-none <3

Just saw you saying that u became fan after jin nd hoba were already enlisted so I'd love to read how you got into BTS and jikook as well. Have talked about it before? If yes you can link that if not I'd love to read ur story , if u don't want that's also fine 😅

Hope your journey goes fine and just a request to always go for og content than anything else. Before making any judgement on any member watch the content for yourself. Just in case cause this Fandom is definitely filled with false naratives and i honestly don't trust it most of the times. Just watch Things on ur own and make ur own conclusion. I'm saying this cause over the yrs i have seen so many ppl getting manipulated that whenever i see someone recently got into BTS and is loving jikook i just wonder if over some months or a year I'd see ur turning up against jikook. Months ago i came across a blogger here who started loving jikook cause they had seen jk's lives last year he did for jimin so they got interested, they loved jm and suddenly down the rabbit hole they started following Tkkrs and got completely brainwashed with their narative of comapny hiding TK and hence they're pushing Jkk so they can protect TK cause this theory made sense to this blogger and i even saw them calling jm bitch and what not. Saying he deserves all critisism from other shippers cause he acts that way. Like i don't have any problem with anyone moving to another ship from jikook if they feel there's more to other ship but straight up calling other homewrecker who comes in xyz ship all because of manipulation is really really sad. I really felt bad. And this is not even just a one time thing most of baby armys fall for tkklives (that's a tkkr YouTube channel who makes manipulating videos which portrays jm as homewrecker nd has around 500k subscribers on YouTube. She made that channel 2 days after gcfT when tkkrs needed something/someone to give them a theory that would make sense to them nd tkklives give it to them by manipulating members' words nd since then all of them falls for all her naratives. That's how they are, there was a whole thread of ppl confessing as how they felt for her lies and used to hate jm on twitter) so just be careful be it any ship or any members. Hope ur journey is as lovely as BTS are.

I would love to share how I got into BTS since I haven't mentioned it. Sidenote - I definitely fell into the trap that are tkkrs when I first got into BTS. In my defense it was mainly because of the algorithm and what was most popular when I was trying to find content to watch, and the fact that there are so many comments about them under absolutely everything, that it was hard not to see when first being introduced to them. Fortunately this was roughly around the same time that Tae and Jennie were seen in Paris together holding hands, and I saw in real time what was happening, and the weird ways fans were trying to explain away them clearly being seen together. It made me question a lot of the content I had already consumed, but I won't get too much into that since you're probably not interested in that lol.

As for BTS, I had never consumed any Kpop content before in my life. I had heard of BTS, because duh (they are always trending on twitter), but I actively avoided it. Fast forward, I think to around May 2023, I started watching Physical Season 1 on Netflix (yeah I was late getting into it my bad lol). I'm a person that loves to do research on things that I enjoy haha, so while searching for/watching interviews on Youtube, the algorithm suggested BTS' Mic Drop, I clicked on it, and the rest is history. I was immediately sucked into a rabbit hole of all things BTS, mainly just their music videos at first. And then came Jimin... at first I didn't really get him (again that probably had something to do with all the negative things I saw from tkkrs and the fan content I watched, that at the time I didn't realize were edits), but when I saw Set Me Free and Like Crazy I was completely and utterly blown away. And I was also immediately endeared by Jungkook and his weverse lives. But I just couldn't understand how one group could have this much content and talent. I watched official behind the scenes content, and I just could not believe how hard they were working, and how much of themselves they were giving to fans. Like artists here in the US work hard, but you very rarely see the behind the scenes of the journey, unless they release a documentary. I just could not help but to stan and support them.

As for Jikook, like I mentioned before after the whole tkk thing, I was very anti-ships. I just thought it was all crazy, and refused to believe any of it, and tbh based on again fan edits and perspectives from those in the fandom with way more knowledge than me, it didn't even seem like they liked each other and were the least close members in the group. Fast forward again to whenever Jungkook's weverse live was of him being in his bed practically begging Jimin to do a live with him. Being able to see it in real time, I was like what in the f--- is going on here. This feels crazy flirtatious to me but idk maybe it's just a culture difference that I'm not getting lol. I watched a bunch of other content in full, like JK's live where he spends hours watching Jimin content, and some other stuff in full, and I was like ooooookkkkk while I'm still not completely sure, there might actually be some there there to what some jikookers have been saying this whole time. 😂😅

hi!! I was wondering if there was any random headcannons you had about either states or Adam and Robin

I have a few off the top of my head :D

__________________________________

-- Adam and Robin are both Very Asexual, and only attracted to each other. Trying to be a Homewrecker with these two will end horribly.

-- Greg is an undead. As a human child, he met Adam and Robin a few times. When he died in a horrific accident as a young preteen, they brought him back and adopted him.

-- Greg is mute!

-- Boe (WV) has a pet rosy maple moth named Rosie

-- Boe is Best Friends with all the WV cryptids.

-- Boe is dating John Deere! Boe is the Jack Hoffmen of States and I will die on this hill.

-- Ivan and Gabriel (Alaska and Texas) are really nice guys, and kinda shy, but they have epic mean faces and can make themselves appear very intimidating.

-- John (Georgia), despite being Gabriel’s height, is too nice and Teddy Bear to intimidate people unless he’s angry. Then people remember that a Teddy Bear is still a bear.

-- Ivan and Gabriel learned to be scary from Adam. Man is Dad To The Max, but he is still the Personification of the United States, and he can be terrifying when he wants to be.

-- Adam and Robin make all their kids stuffed animals, with the animals name sewn on one of the limbs

-- Ian (Florida) and Robin have a running tally of who had football-tackled more police officers. It’s currently a tie.

-- Adam has met Santa Claus.

-- Countries being on good terms does not mean the Personifications are! Several Government and Assistant Personifications are not allowed to be in the same room as Adam or Robin, it’s attack on sight.

-- Adam and Robin can replace people they erase! I implied it in ‘Must Be Mistaken’

-- Robin eats people. It’s not cannibalism, since she’s not human, but she does eat people. Adam too, but only sometimes.

-- The basement of the Jones Residence, where only Adam and Robin are allowed to enter, is full of trophies from people and personifications they’ve killed. The walls look like the French catacombs with all the skulls.

-- Adam and Robin also engage in human experimentation from time to time! Remember the chimeras from Full Metal Alchemist? That type of stuff. They only do it to bad people, and they also just don’t care. The only humans Adam and Robin care about are their family members.

-- If Adam and Robin ever die, they can never be reformed. Getting the exact same fragment from Eternity or Infinity is impossible. Other personifications can reform as the same people, Governments can not.

-- Robin represents in small parts of the Government; the interns, cubicle workers, receptionists, all the little pieces that make everything run. Adam is the big pieces; the President, the Senate, the HoR.

-- Adam’s immune system is trash and it has always been trash 👍 that will never change.

-- The OG’s had to teach Adam and Robin how to act human, blinking, chewing, breathing and all.

-- No one knows that Adam and Robin are fragments. Only other Fragments know. All the Politicians know is that they’re terrifying and Will Eat Them.

-- Adam and Robin are petty as hell and have a ‘Petty Schedule’ to determine who messes with which politician this time. This is reserved for the people who annoy them, but they aren’t annoyed enough to hurt them.

-- Adam has been torn in half by a cannonball before. He has also been shot, stabbed, blown up, burned, and I’m sure there are other things he has yet to talk about. Only Robin knows about most of these.

-- Adam and Robin can regrow limbs! If they break a bone, and manage to get away for a few hours, they’ll just cut it off and let it grow back good as new.

-- Adam and Robin can either have no organs or too many of one specific organ. Or whatever they think is funnier at the time.

-- In Verse, ‘The Thing’ is based on a witness that saw Robin eat someone. She looked freaky as hell and had the time of her life.

-- Adam and Robin have multiple forms, which I have talked about already in a previous post.

-- Adam and Robin are so in love it gives me a toothache

oooooooooo

og au, streamer enid, and its not really a normal prompt, but it lingers in my mind 24/7

Oh.

Oh.

that is all :D

It takes Mika a bit to realize and like maybe it's her fault but can you blame her?

Oh my god, she thinks. Oh my god, she thinks again.

"They're married," she utters to Isabelle.

The siren actor furrows her brow and she tilts her head. She's a gorgeous Divina, Mika thinks before immediately shaking her head and getting back into track.

"Wednesday and E Addams," she punctuates and she pushes up her sunglasses to rub at her eyes. "it was so clear they aren't flings, Isa! They're married." her hands flop around before she presses it onto her eyes. "all those books about werewolves and a human it's about her wife and Wednesday!"

Isabella blinks.

"oh endespair is going to be heartbroken," she murmurs, a lil frown on her face.

Mika stares, her mouth agape. "Isabelle, I just told you my idol is married and you're thinking of your streamer!?"

The siren actor shrugs and she's smiling. Oh, Mika thinks. She's trying to make light of the situation.

Mika punches her fist against Isabelle shoulder anyways because dangit girl she's panicking! Now is not the time to gush about another werewolf!!

"ow! I'm just saying miks- endespair is really down bad for wednesday!"

"and I'm saying E and Wednesday are married! Nows not the time to bring up a potential home wrecker!

A gasp. "you did not just call Endespair a homewrecker."

please i love the love island AU!!!! some questions if you don't mind: 1) if lando/carlos were the runner's up, who won first place? 2) what was lando's reaction when he realized oscar is helping him 3) was oscar ever jealous watching lando crack on with other folks and what did that look like 4) WHO DID OSCAR FIGHT AAAH

HELLO ANON 🧡 ofc i don't mind !!!!

1. going off irl popularity it was probably maxiel lmao. even tho it's hinted daniel gets kicked i can see him having a midseason ~comeback a lá molly marsh in s10 a lá real life

2. tbh ! i don't think lando is toooo aware exactly how much oscar "helped" him... he's like okay sure oscar has a soft spot for me but also my longevity on the show is prolly bc i'm a good actor (he's not) and the public find my twinkish gremlinisms endearing (they do)... meanwhile oscar is behind the scenes cherrypicking edits to ensure he comes off as likeable and inducing chemistry w his partners via tswift soundtracks

3. WELL in my hc oscar's been working on love island for 2-3 years already and is extremely clear-eyed about the Showmanship Of It All and contestants Faking Sentiments To Secure The Bag but sometimes he'll be watching back footage of lando getting it on in a challenge all [bored professional voice] "yeah it's a good shot keep it in" and some1 (logan) has to be like uhhh m8 you're like. crushing my notes. let go

4. honestly this is up to interpretation lmao! timewise i see it happening right before the finale so it makes sense tensions are running high

THANK U FOR THE ASK <33 i had a lot of fun imagining how the grid would operate in love-island specific scenarios (casa amor homewrecker sharl anyone???) sgndkd i hope some of the subtler details came across (eg. lando "picking" george for the date implying he was an early bombshell vs one of the ogs). i love talking abt this au so feel free to ask as many qs as u want lmao <333

Did you check out the first issue of the new Ultimate Spider-Man? I'd be curious to see your thoughts

I was planning on letting it pass by me, zen-like. I kind of... disapprove of the entire concept. The more redundant universes Marvel creates (note that I say redundant, in that I like some AUs with recognizably different heroes and story lines) the more it approaches a DC-like level of story fragmentation, where nothing has to matter and everything runs on vibes. Every new restart survives an even shorter amount of time. It's a death spiral.

But alright. I may not know who Hickman is but some other people seem to like him. I'm Charlie Brown, the new title is a football, here's some of the whistling my foot makes as it flies through the air.

First off a disclaimer: comics are into longform storytelling these days, so almost nothing happens in this issue by design. This is a setup, not a story. I can point out some pettier dislikes, but I can't know what might turn out well yet.

I get that this is going to tie in to the Maker, but calling this USM is a bogus decision that is going to cause so much confusion down the line. It's like they didn't want to admit they were setting up yet a third story. See above grouch about redundant universes.

Uncle Ben being alive instead of Aunt May is a hell of a decision. But I like Hell Of A Decisions if they're pulled off with confidence. I miss og USM's ponytailed gentle old hippie Uncle Ben, I admit. He had a surprising amount of characterization, which I always liked about that series.

I... do not get... why they are homewrecking Robbie + JJJ for Ben. Like, I'm kind of offended on Robbie's behalf. og USM already put some of Robbie's plotlines into Ben--I mean, Ben Urich's hands, but this is more based on 616, isn't it? Robertson's personal moral compass and how that interacts with his job and his safety and his journalistic ethics AND his relationship with Jameson's short-sighted tendencies have been the core of his character for 60 years. Could we not think of something new for Uncle Ben to be doing instead of overwriting an existing character relationship and adding next to nothing to it? And Robbie's there and just kind of fine with the Kingpin's proposal as far as we see so far. This is probably my biggest complaint.

The kids could be an interesting element, but we don't really see any of that yet so it's purely potential.

The Harry fans seem to like this new Harold and his visual design so far. I suppose he's not fully flavorless but the flavor that is there is like. Salt and pepper.

MJ could stand to look older and have more characterization but that is not an original observation. Wait, she's definitely based off her 616 self and not her USM self isn't she? God why DID they call this USM, this is a structural publishing nightmare

The Goblin design is what people think the Raimi goblin costume was, which is not exactly a compliment. Also I *know* I'm the Goblin Fan but are there, really no other villains you could think of to open with? No? Is this the only plot point that's ever going to get adapted over and over again? Maybe it will be good and I'll be glad, I think! And then imagine Charlie Brown and the football again.

Another thing that really got me was the churning camera angles on some of the simplest scenes here. I respect the dutch angle hustle, Chechetto, but if I'm feeling seasick while trying to follow a scene where people have a conversation while sitting down then you might want to rethink your strategy.

To misquote Roger Ebert for a second, "the penciler has learned from better comics that artists sometimes tilt their panels, but it seems he has not learned why."

I’ve been a Leon fangirl since middle school (so… 13ish? 14ish? I don’t remember) and I kept seeing many people misinterpret his character from all spectrums of RE Fans. The ones that are neutral, don’t like him, or love him a lot all misinterpret him as this dude that flirts with every woman he sees.

So when I came across your blog, and seeing your meta stuff on Leon plus your latest posts about Leon (and the damn fact that the wiki on his page is filled with LIES?!?! Like wow, now I don’t want to use fan wikis more than ever, so thank you so much for bringing that to a lot of fans’ attentions especially when most of us used the wikis for information on stuff) made me go, “finally! Someone who doesn’t treat Leon as a “ladies man” as canon fact instead of a headcanon!”

Now, there is nothing wrong with flirty Leon, but it felt like a headcanon that got spread around the fandom as “canon” when it isn’t.

people who see him that way, i think, are too stuck on RE4 OG. because if RE4 OG was still the most recent canonpoint, that interpretation of him would be accurate. leon basically hits his peak sluttery in ID, and then it dramatically drops off a cliff. because, like. he IS a slut who tries to fuck hunnigan, looks up ada's dress in RE4, and openly declares intentions to homewreck shen may's relationship. but then he chills the fuck out after shen may won't cheat on her boyfriend with him lmao like he fucks ada prior to damnation, but that seems like a cooling off compared to his other shenanigans.

so i think of it kind of like this:

remake leon, who's not a whore at all and therefore cannot have his sluttery get mapped out, has a different chart entirely:

but people in this fandom are, by and large, stupid creatures who don't think that there are two timelines with OG and remake, so they just slap the slut label on every version of leon, which is just simply incorrect.

leon is the most complicated character in all of resident evil, so i'm not surprised to see him get as misinterpreted as he does, but. i get ur frustration.

and i will be here "old man yells at cloud"-ing with the truth until i can't anymore.

Honestly, if Lewie switches and wants to give whoever he's with a chance, I think I'm fr gonna be done with him 😭 Like that for me would be the last straw. At that point I wouldn't even find it worth it anymore and I WISH FB would have a leave the villa option because my ass would leave right after. Because there's no way in absolute HELL my already heartbroken ass is going to stay there and watch Lewie crack on with another woman for my heart can get broken EVEN MORE 💔

Like if he switches and sees that mc is back and he drops whatever girl he's with (if he even switches) then okay, I'll possibly forgive him. BUT and I mean big but, if movie night comes and I see that he was doing some funky stuff while I was away it's over too. Because there's no way you almost dropped the L word, said you wanted me to meet your family and said so many more things that were so sweet for you to be going around cracking on and doing whatever else not even 2 to 3 days after I left🧍🏻‍♀️

THIS IS WHAT IM SAYING

I’ve gone back and done a loyal Lewie route through casa because I felt bad for doing bits with Andy. But god damn I’m about to get badly hurt 😭

Don’t forget though, Lewie thought we’d gone home. Also he probably thought he’d missed his chance with us and that we wouldn’t be interested in anything BECAUSE he didn’t follow us out. He’s all up in his own head and spiralling a bit. Accidents happen, especially in the LI Villa, and these Casa girls can be absolutely vicious. They know they’ve gotta get back to the villa at all costs and right now Lewie’s an easy target. He’s sad, he’s lonely, he’s probably being egged on by the other boys, and for all he knows, the alternative is staying loyal to a girl who’s already gone home. That’s a really hard situation to be in.

If he immediately drops her and comes back to us I’ll be absolutely over the moon and thrilled and will put this season up there with my favourites just for that. If he doesn’t, I’m gonna really struggle to see how an OG LI route is redeemable in any way.

I don’t want a man who tells me he wants me to meet his Nana and cheats on me two days later. I don’t want a man who cheats on me and then says he has to give the other girl a chance. That’s not how relationships work in the real world.

If he cheated IRL and we found out, he doesn’t then have to date the girl for a period of time to find out if he’s got a better connection with her.

Like, NO, babe, I found you out, now make your fucking choice. Chase after me and beg for my forgiveness, or stick with the homewrecker. Them’s your options. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would love to Kevin and Shawn at Halloween! 🥺

If you didn't want this to be ship fic, I apologise.

The Og Husbands- Halloween

------------------------------------------------------------------

Kevin frowned as Scott snickered at him. "What? What is your issue?" Kevin bites. "You couldn't of just been a werewolf?" Scott asks. "No, because it wasn't what Shawn wanted. And you can't say much you've literally dressed up as yourself!" Kevin protests. "Why spend money when I have the costume already?" Scott smirks as shawn walks in.

Shawn looks up from his script at the low whistle. "Oh hi scotty" he smiles. "Give us a twirl chica" Scott smirks, earning him a shove off Kevin. "You look gorgeous doll" Kevin smiles moving forward. Shawn tilts his head back and smiles. "And you look handsome" "for a grandma" Scott teases. "Well he can't just be a normal wolf Scotty! It's little red riding hood and the big bad wolf! The only thing that would separate him from a normal wolf would be the grandma look" Shawn explains. "And I will not let someone dressed as himself judge my boys costume" Shawn hums moving past both men.

"You lucky that little skirt makes you too distracting to be angry at" Scott mutters. "Eyes up scotty" Kevin orders. "Whats kid and hunter dressed as? If you say theirselves I will cry." Shawn asks. "I actually don't know. I haven't seen them since the show" Kevin answers sitting on the bench. He watches as shawn puts his script in his bag. "It any good?" Kevin asks. "Oh yeah, I'm apparently trying to sleep with Diana. Perfect little homewrecker I am" Shawn huffs. "If only they knew" Scott huffs as kevins hand lands on the back of shawns bare thigh. "They'd have a fit" Kevin snickers. Shawn shakes his head and leans over to adjust the shower cap on Kevin's head, making sure the dog ears are visible.

"Tonight will be a blast, if the boys hurry up" Scott groans. "Their costumes better be good, they've been gone for an hour" Kevin huffs pulling shawn into his lap. "They probably don't have one" Shawn shrugs adjusting his hood. "I feel like this would make a really weird porno" Scott comments watching his friends. "Your mind always in the gutter Scott?" Kevin smirks. "With you two? Of course" Scott chuckles as the door opens.

The trio look as the two other men walk in. "Jesus christ" Shawn huffs. "The undertaker and Paul bearer? That's your big costume idea?" Kevin asks. "Well, kid forgot to pick up our costumes like I asked and we were panicking about what to do when we saw the deadman, with your kid by the way, and knew immediately what we should do" hunter smiles adjusting the hat. "Youve left John with taker?" Scott asks. "They get on really well, I trust the big guy with John, John feels safe with him, my babysitter cancelled as you know its Halloween and she's one, watched two many slashers about babysitters and Halloween and two a teenager who will be out drinking and I was telling taker about it and how imma have to cancel tonight when he said he'd take him as he has no plans." Shawn explains. "His room is on our floor aswell so we can get him easily and he had no Halloween plans anyways, said he was either going to use the hotel gym or watch tv" Kevin adds. "And everyone else is out celebrating. Not that I would like to leave John with the harts anytime soon. Maybe Owen or Jim. But not the others." Shawn comments. "Is he gutted he can't go trick or treating?" Scott asks. "He was at first but once he found out he can still dress up and taker offered him pizza and sweets and he immediately cheered up" Shawn smiles as he stands up.

Hunter looks at Scott. "Are you dressed as yourself?" He asks. "Oh please your literally dressed as you own coworker because you forgot to buy a costume" Scott snaps. "Of course kev and shawn are the only ones with decent costumes" Sean huffs adjusting his tie. "Only because shawns been planning this since last Halloween." Kevin smirks as shawn flips him off. "Its the only time of the year were we can dress like mugs or sluts and no one can say anything" Shawn states. "You dress like a stripper every day" hunter points out. "And people always say something about it" Shawn nods as hunter proves his point. "Hey, I don't care, he looks good and if we time it right I can have some fun before we have to pick up squirt" Kevin smirks squeezing shawns hips. Shawn shakes his head. "Cmon let's go before it's too late" Shawn huffs. "Yeah, thanks for taking so long dickwads" Scott smirks pulling Sean into a headlock. "Atleast you three have a group costume now" Kevin smirks. "Im kinda glad. Otherwise people would think me and Sean has a couple costume like you two" hunter winces causing the others to laugh as Sean acts offended.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Kevin leans against the bar. He didn't see the joy of Halloween as a kid, but then again he's from detriot, however as he looks at everyone on the dance floor in their costumes he can understand.

"Earth to big guy" Shawn calls. Kevin looks down at the smaller man. "Mmm?" Kevin hums. "I need my big bad wolf to join me on the dance floor, otherwise my costume makes no sense." Shawn smiles. "Really now?" Kevin smirks taking shawns hips into his hands. "Mhm. Unless you wanna go trick or treating instead, but John will be really mad that we did" Shawn smiles. "I guess I can dance. As long as its nowhere near the three dumbasses" Kevin huffs. Shawn giggles and looks at them. "They coulda done the three musketeers if they were smarter." Shawn states grabbing kevins hand.

Kevin downs his drink before allowing Shawn to lead him away. He will never turn down a chance to dance with shawn.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Unlike the others, shawn and Kevin don't stay out long.

He takes his jacket off and slings it over shawn on their walk back to the hotel. "Next year you should be a lumberjack." Shawn yawns. "Yeah? What will you be?" Kevin asks. "I don't know. Maybe I'll let you pick" Shawn smiles taking kevins hand and pulling him towards the hotel elevator. "Now that, that I like" Kevin smirks leaning against the elevator wall, pulling shawn close. "Reckon John's driven taker up the wall?" Kevin yawns. "No. My baby is a sweetheart, gets it from me" shawn states. Kevin can't help but laugh. "Sure baby, sure"

Shawn shakes his head and leads Kevin towards their hotel room. "Want me to come with?" Kevin asks opening their door. "No no. Just get his clothes ready for him to change into. We will only be a minute" Shawn smiles kissing kevins cheek before walking down the hall. Kevin smiles before walking into their room.

Shawn hums to himself as he walks down the hall. He stops outside takers door. It's quiet. He knocks and waits. He smiles as the door opens. "Your back early" Taker comments. "Yeah, decided we'd rather watch a movie. Has he been good?" Shawn asks. "Yeah, a real angel. He's asleep. He's eaten and fell asleep during the first minutes of whatever movie he put on." Taker explains opening the door more. Shawn smiles slightly as he spots John curled up on the bed. Taker looks at him. "Would you like me to carry him?" Taker asks.

"No its okay. Thank you for watching him" shawn smiles moving in and gently picking John up. John snuggles close to his Papa. "Its no problem. He's a good kid" Taker smiles. "He is." Shawn whispers. Taker watches the man before speaking. "Ill see you tomorrow shawn." Shawn glances at him and smiles. "You too Takes."

--

Kevin yawns as he pulls the shower cap off and ruffles his hair as shawn walks in carrying John. Kevin smiles at the captain America costume. "Out cold" Shawn whispers with a smile. "You want help?" Kevin asks. "Nah. Find a film" Shawn smiles laying John down on the spare bed. They always requested a cot to be put in their room for John. It wasn't always that way. John and shawn used to share. But, things change.

Kevin turns the volume down as he surfs channels and shawn changes John into his pj's. Shawn tucks him in, whispering his love to the boy before moving towards the bathroom. He stops and glances at kevin. "You coming big bad wolf?" Shawn smirks. Kevin drops the controller and stands. "I think I'm starting to love halloween" Kevin smirks. "Better have picked a good film" Shawn yawns moving into the bathroom. Kevin glances as the tv tells him nightmare on elm Street is on next.

"You know it baby" Kevin smirks before moving too the bathroom.
