#the irresponsible captain taylor

[gigisluigi]

This brings back so many memories. For some of these, I could've sworn only I remembered them

Early 2000s/late 1990s anime that is now on the verge of ‘forgotten’ status

I’m talking about those nostalgic analogue animations, or when the anime industries were facing a strange identity crisis of digital or analogue. I don’t know about you, but looking back, that period of anime certainly was the most mature I’ve ever seen, even compared to most shows ever released in the past decade or so.

Once more, this one’s a personal list of shows I remember just as some have never even heard of them

Romeo x Juliet

Earth Girl Arjuna

Last Exile

Noir

12 Kingdoms

Ergo Proxy

Escaflowne & Vision of Escaflowne

Blood+

Hellsing

Argento Soma

Elemental Gellade

Black Cat

Sorcerer stabber Orphen

kobato

Eden of the East

Fullmetal panic

Gankutsuou: Count de monte Cristo

xxxholic

Nodame Cantible

Mushishi

Baccano

The Irresponsible Captain Taylor

RahXephon

.hack//sign

Kare Kano

Martian Successor Nadesico

Claymore

You are under arrest

Ghost hunt

And that’s all that I can remember.

enjoy.

ps. a few of these are a bit on the mature side, so research with caution

Miss the "asshole space captain with a heart of gold goes in space adventures" anime era, even though it's older than myself.

[the-classic-dreamer]

As many of you know, Rachael Lillis, The Original English VA for Misty, Jessie, and Jigglypuff, has sadly passed away from Breast Cancer at the Age of 55, It's still really hard to believe that she's gone too soon, And it truly breaks my heart since Like many Pokémon Fans alike, I grew up hearing her voice a lot in the Pokémon Anime. and Jigglypuff has always been one of my all time Favorite Pokémons, And Rachael's Voice Talent was one of the many reasons i fell in love with Jigglypuff in the Anime.

And also in the Smash Series as well, As Jigglypuff was one of my Mains in Melee and Brawl, and of course, Rachael lend her wonderful voice lines for Jigglypuff, and as of Ultimate, The Series still continues to Reuse Rachael's Voice Lines for Jigglypuff in the Series, (Same with Goldeen as well)

Rachael also voiced many other Anime Characters outside of Pokémon, Including Martina in Slayers Next, Charlotte in Berserk (1997), Yuriko Star in Irresponsible Captain Taylor, Utena Tenjou in Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Mito Freecs and Cocco in Hunter X Hunter (2011),

Thank you, Rachael Lillis, For the Many Memories you've given me during my Childhood when you brought Characters like Misty, Jessie, and Jigglypuff to life with your Wonderful Voice Talent, May you Rest in Peace. 🌹

Are we still friends? | chapter three

summary: maybe the pressure's getting to you but rooster's always there with hugs

warnings: easy peasy

word count: 2k

series masterlist + read the next chapter early on mi ko-fi!!!

You’d been yelled at before during the academy and then on Top Gun by many captains, admirals, and whatnot. You’d also been yelled at before by your father. 

But you’d never been yelled at before with your father. 

“You don’t pull that shit again,” Admiral ‘Cyclone’ Simpson barked in his office as you and Mav looked forward and took it. 

He’d been going at it for at least five minutes without Mav or you saying a word and at one point you were sure that you’d tuned it out. You wondered if they would kick you out of the mission altogether because you knew that it had been beyond irresponsible what you’d done, you’d let your feelings get in the way of the mission, you’d let what Mav said get on your nerves and you hadn’t managed it. 

And although being kicked out of the mission was one thing, your mind couldn’t help but go back to how Rooster was looking at you when you’d landed. The restlessness in his gaze, the intensity of his honey-burnt eyes, the way that he’d frantically run towards you without caring in any way what people thought. 

Maybe Rooster was overreacting, but just the thought of him being so worried about you and the fact that it would be wrecking that something happened to you, felt different. But could you blame him? You were best friends since you could remember, you were more like family than any other thing even if your feelings went well past friendship. He would be as wreck as he would be if he had a sister, at least that’s what you thought. 

But then Maverick spoke and it brought you back to the office of Admiral Simpson who was glaring at you while you sheepishly made eye contact with him. He was clearly furious with you, but you also knew that he was even more furious with your father. 

“... with little to no dog fighting. The parameters of this mission call for something they have never encountered,” Maverick finished explaining, his voice leveled as you gazed at him. 

“Okay,” Admiral Simpson interrupted as he leaned on his desk, now focused only on Maverick. “You have less than three weeks to teach them how to fight as a team and how to strike the target,”

“And how to come home,” Maverick stated. 

There was a beat of silence in the room as Cyclone’s frown faltered for a second while Warlock glanced at Cyclone too. Cyclone sighed as he leaned back at his decks, his eyes fell on you for a second as if Maverick had revealed something that you didn’t quite know about the mission but you knew deep down that everyone on the team was aware that this could be a suicide mission. 

Just not how aware they were was something up for discussion. 

“These pilots accept that,” Cyclone stated as his gaze returned to Maverick. 

“I don’t, sir,” Mav stated, leaving Cyclone’s words in his throat as he looked at Warlock with concern.

For a second you felt your lips quirk slightly at their reaction. Maverick getting the last word was something that you got used to when you were younger but seeing it in action and with people well above his level was something that you hadn’t been able to witness. You glanced at your dad who looked back at you for a second before nodding at him slightly. 

“Every morning from this day forward, you will brief us on your instructional plans. In writing. And nothing will change without my express approval,” Cyclone finally stated. 

“Including the hard deck, sir?”

“Especially the hard deck, captain,” Cyclone said through gritted teeth. 

Soon, Mav took the folder he’d been holding in his hands and left it over Cyclone’s desk, who seemed as confused as Warlock was while you? You simply smirked.

“Sir,” Mav said, looking forward yet again. 

“What is this?”

“It’s a request to lower the hard deck sir, to practice a low-level bombing run for the mission parameters,” Maverick stated and you bit your inner cheek to stop yourself from giggling at the scene.

Even Warlock had to cover his mouth to avoid Admiral Simpson seeing him smile. 

Simpson quickly dismissed Maverick and Warlock but asked you to stay for a moment. You sighed as you stood there, Mav glanced at you quickly placing his hand over your shoulder and squeezing it slightly, as if he knew what would come next. You knew, thanks to Carol that Mav and Goose used to get in trouble -a lot- when they were your age but this was very different and you could tell it by the look that Cyclone was giving you. You stood a bit straighter, jaw clenched as he stood up. 

“Let me be very clear Litenutant,” he started and your hands turned into fists for a second as you breathed slowly. “I do not and will not stand for any insubordination from any of my pilots. Even if the captain in charge of their mission is their father or if they have an uncle as an admiral,” 

You nodded curtly, annoyed about the fact that he even brought up Ice in the conversation. 

“I don’t want the shit that I saw today again,” he continued through gritted teeth. “Top gun rules of engagement exist for your safety and that of your team. You may have done what any other pilot hadn’t until today but either obey them, or you are history, are we clear?”

“Yes, sir,” you answered. 

He stared at you for a moment, reading your expression but you remained as stoic as you could. Looking forward, he sighed something that you couldn’t quite catch but it was between the lines of ‘you’re just like your old man’. 

“Dismissed,” he stated as he returned to his sit and you finally exited the office. 

You felt a bit out of breath as you walked through the hallways of the base as recalled the words of Admiral Simpson. You were on a thin line if you kept your attitude up, you knew it. This was a dangerous mission and they needed the right people who could pull it off. You were trying to prove that you were the right choice for the mission but up until now, you’d only shown that even if you were a damn good pilot, you’d also shown that you could be irresponsible and careless, which was something that didn’t quite fit with the reckless but trustful fame that you’d gain. 

And now everyone knew that Mav and you were 100% related, which only made you sick to your stomach to think about the reaction of the other pilots. Nonetheless, the thoughts of facing the crowd went out the window as soon as you heard his voice. 

“Brat?” 

You turned around to see him chasing you through the hallways, a part of you wondered if he’d been calling your name before but you hadn’t really noticed it until then. He gazed at you straight as your gazes linked, you knew he was worried about you, you could tell it as you walked closer to him, and without a second thought, he held your hand softly. 

“Rooster,” you sighed as soon as you felt his warm skin on yours.

“How did it go?” he asked, his voice sounding like honey as he looked at you with concern. 

You didn’t answer, instead, you chose to quickly wrap your arms around him and held him, Rooster’s action didn’t falter either, he quickly wrapped his arms around you too, and pressed you hard against him. It was almost like you were magnets coming together considering how many times you’d been in this situation. You wondered if it was stupid that after all these years that you’d known Rooster you did the same thing when you were feeling sad or overwhelmed but ever since you were six, you’d caught up to the fact that you two fit together so perfectly, curled up into the other, holding each other through the toughest times. 

You closed your eyes and just listened to Rooster’s breathing as you felt his lips on your forehead, the simple warmth of his body lulled you into a state of comfort. You didn’t really know how much time you were there and you didn’t really care as long as Bradley kept holding you. It wasn’t until you felt his lips pressing to your forehead that you opened your eyes again. 

“That bad, huh?” he asked and you could feel the smirk on his voice. 

“Shut up,” you said, nuzzling your face deeper into his chest. 

Bradley laughed softly. “Hey, I’m just trying to put you into a good mood,” he insisted and you finally looked up. 

“Well, you’re failing,” you grumbled, shifting away from him slightly. 

“Now, now, let’s play nice or I’ll tell everyone about the time that you got drunk at Ice’s house and,” he threatened but you quickly cut him off.

“Bradley!” you complained before swatting your arm at him but he simply laughed before catching your wrist and pulling you towards him, quickly draping his arm over your shoulder. 

You smiled, your chest burned with happiness at his actions. 

“I will not,” he said as you walked through the hallways. “But seriously, you want to be in a better mood?”

“Please, I need some good news,” you huffed. 

“Everyone in our class wants to celebrate you, we’re going for drinks tonight at the Hard Deck,” he said looking at you with a smirk, his eyes sweet like honey. 

“Are you serious?”

“Hell yes, you shot down the old guy,” he said and you both laughed. 

There wasn’t anything special in particular about your interaction or conversation with Rooster -if anything, it was how you usually behaved, how best friends would behave. But god, you knew that your heart was thundering in your chest because of the way he was looking at you, by how he was holding you. You cursed yourself because you thought that after so many years the way that you were enamored by Rooster would’ve died down by now but with this mission, after months of not seeing each other, it seemed like you were falling. 

Which was something, you couldn’t do.

Levitating - Head Engineer Mark x Captain Fanfic

“I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost

The room is on fire, invisible smoke

And all of my heroes die all alone

Help me hold onto you.”

The Archer, Taylor Swift

Part Ten:

Scene: Invincible II, supply room

[MARK occupies his time with mini games on his portable tablet while waiting for the CAPTAIN to arrive.  They told him to meet them in the supply room at midnight exactly, so here he is.]

CAPTAIN: [entering the supply room] Sorry I’m late, Mark.  There was another coolant leakage issue in Cryo.

MARK: [putting his tablet away] Lemme guess, Celci’s tryna blame the problem on me again?  I haven’t even been able to clean up in there for the past couple days---every time I try, she just kicks me back out and says that I’m [using air-quotes] “an irresponsible asshat”.  What did I ever do to her?!

CAPTAIN: Well, to be fair, this ship has been steadily declining pretty much ever since I got here.  The maintenance crew certainly has their hands full around here.

MARK: [frowning] Maybe if you let me work as Head Engineer again---

CAPTAIN: No, no.  I think it’s best if you stick with the custodial job for now.  Anyways, I didn’t come here to talk to you about any of that.  I think I know where the crystal we need is.

MARK: Oh?

CAPTAIN: [nodding] Yes.  Well, kind of.  I think if I jump into the wormhole, it’ll pop me out where I found the crystal the first time.

MARK: [skeptical] I thought we had a whole conversation a couple days ago about how jumping into a wormhole was a bad idea.

CAPTAIN: It’s certainly dangerous, but I think it’s the only option we have.

MARK: But it could spit you out anywhere---it could create another paradox!

CAPTAIN: [exasperatedly] What other choice do we have, Mark?  How else are we gonna get to the Warp Core?

MARK: [hesitantly, quietly] Should we even bother messing with it at all?  I mean, it’s not actively harming the ship, right?

CAPTAIN: Not yet, but if we give it enough time it probably will.  And we still have the problem that is Actor, remember?  

MARK: I know, but...  Well, how much of a problem is he really?  Sure, he threatened me with a gun while I was showering earlier this week, but---

CAPTAIN: [alarmed] He what?!

MARK: [with a dismissive hand wave] Oh, it was nothing.  I didn’t bother mentioning it to you because he was totally just bluffing.  He basically even said as much himself.

CAPTAIN: What do you mean?

MARK: Well, he said that if he kills me, this reality will collapse in on itself.

CAPTAIN: [pondering for a moment] Hmm... that’s... interesting.

MARK: So... maybe we should just ignore him and continue on with business as usual?  Surely, we’ve gotta be close to an outpost or something by now, right?

CAPTAIN: [confused] What?

MARK: Well, we’ve been journeying these colonists across the stars for several years now, Captain.  How close are we to our destination?  We gotta be, like, halfway by now, yeah?

CAPTAIN: Oh.  Um, I actually don’t know.

MARK: [with a chuckle] Oh, that’s very funny, Captain.  You know how much I enjoy your jokes.  But seriously, where exactly are we taking all these colonists?

CAPTAIN: I don’t know!  You never explained anything to me when I first got here, and I haven’t learned much since then.

MARK: [frowning] But we have to be headed somewhere.

CAPTAIN: I mean, I know where we are in relationship to the galaxy we’re currently in, but I have no idea what planet our final destination is.  This ship is basically on autopilot---which is something you, of all people, should already know.  Didn’t you help program this whole ship?

MARK: Yes... but the Captain is in charge of coordinating navigation with the crew.

CAPTAIN: All right, so who was Captain before me?

MARK: [scratching at his chin, unable to come up with a proper response] Um... Well... I guess... I guess I don’t know?

CAPTAIN: [scoffing, incredulous] C’mon, Mark.  How can you not know who the first Captain of this ship was?

MARK: Maybe it’s like what you were saying the other day about timelines getting messed up.  It’s like---it’s like the memories of how things were running around here before you showed up are there, but I just can’t quite grasp them.  In fact, I don’t really remember building this ship... or the first Invincible.

CAPTAIN: That’s mildly concerning.

MARK: [with a nod] Yeah... I suppose it kind of is.  But that doesn’t change anything, Captain.  Jumping into a wormhole is still dangerous.  I think we should wait.

CAPTAIN: For what?  We don’t even know how long we’re supposed to be on this ship.

MARK: Maybe we can find another way to get the crystal.

CAPTAIN: I really don’t think---

MARK: [with intensity] Captain, forgive me if I’m overstepping my boundaries here, but with all due respect, I just can’t let you do this.

CAPTAIN: Why not?

MARK: Because you’re my friend, Captain.  The more I learn, the less any of this makes sense, but that doesn’t change how I feel about you.

CAPTAIN: As a friend?

MARK: Yeah.  I mean, that’s all we are right now, isn’t it?

CAPTAIN: [looking away from MARK, seemingly embarrassed] I did agree to a date, Mark.  If I was only interested in you as a friend, would I do that?

MARK: [taking a few steps closer] Truthfully, Captain, I don’t know.  You’ve been giving me mixed signals lately.

CAPTAIN: I’m sorry.  I just... I’m still trying to figure out whatever the hell is going on with this ship and the wormhole and everything else.  I’ve met other versions of you---I’ve seen you die---it’s a lot to process.

MARK: I understand that, Captain.  But in those other timelines... did you ever... feeling anything?  For me?

CAPTAIN: [with some hesitation] Maybe?  It’s all just a blur now.  And does it even matter?  Those people weren’t... you.  Not really.

MARK: [with a slight chuckle] I guess I just wanna know if I’ve at least a got a chance.  If there was another version of me somewhere out there who was better at this.

CAPTAIN: [confused] Better at what?

MARK: [stepping closer, now only a couple feet away from the CAPTAIN] Telling you how I feel.

CAPTAIN: [finally looking back at MARK, expression is once again mostly hidden by their visor] How do you feel?

MARK: I feel like I’ve known you my whole life, Captain.  I feel like you’re the most amazing person in the whole universe---the whole goddamn multiverse, even, since that’s apparently a thing now.  I feel like I’d be lost without you.

CAPTAIN: [speechless] I... Mark... I don’t know how to respond to that.  You really feel that way about me?

MARK: [nodding] Yes.  Isn’t it obvious, Captain?  I’d do anything for you.

[MARK takes another step toward the CAPTAIN and then gently removes their visor.  The CAPTAIN looks genuinely surprised by MARK’s statement.  They let him pull them close, just for a moment.  MARK holds the CAPTAIN tightly, arms wrapped around their waist.  He presses a kiss against the top of their head before eventually pulling back.]

MARK: Please don’t jump into the wormhole, Captain.

CAPTAIN: [softly, still processing MARK’s confession] Okay.  Okay, I won’t.

[sanchoyo]

danny phantom season 2, eps 1-5 thoughts! opening the new season with episodes like these kinda blew me away. we had multiple serious episodes INCLUDING a two parter!! also, valerie :)

see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3

-I don't know what I expected s2 to open with. but danny portal incident in more detail was not it. (also, I hate to break it to you, sam, but danny's parent's bigass ghost hunting rv def chugs more gas than those vehicles, lmao. unless it runs on ectoplasm or something...)

-WHY WAS DESIREE IN THE SEWER? HAVING TEA WITH IT DOWN THERE?? Her making the giant cow come alive is a boss move, we've almost had all of my fav animals as ghosts now <3 I also don't like how sam was expecting danny to just, haunt the place so the cars wouldn't get sold? I KNOWWW I know she's 14 (and I had a very annoying phase like this, I think I mentioned in a previous post, I GET IT) but they're HIS powers, and messing with (1) dealership will not really put a dent in sales overall because they can just move the cars to another sales lot, and it certainly wont change the industry anyway, it's more of a minor annoyance for (1) location. Also, usually people who work at car sales places work on commission, so if they dont make a sale, they don't have money to pay bills, or eat. sam baby if u wanna be an activist you need to like, actually look into these things. with as much money as her parents have, she could be doing a lot..more useful things for causes she cares about? it's frustrating to see someone with resources who doesn't know how to use them. but shes 14 so again. cannot be really upset :/

-IS THIS A PREDATOR VS TERMINATOR VS FREDDY KRUEGER MOVIE BUT THEYRE ALL WOMEN?? you know, sam is so right to be excited about this. /I/ want to see this movie. that rules

-paulina inviting danny and friends to her quinceañera, aw! even if it is just to get phantom to show up :') and there'll be a meteor shower, and we KNOW danny wants to be an astronaut!! there's not a meteor shower every night!! the tickets are non-refundable, but..she's rich? like. gotta agree with danny, they never get invited!! I KNOW it's the principle of keeping promises, but if she was that upset, she should've said something. directly. I hated how she was like, passive aggressive about it through the episode, like you SAID IT WAS FINE, THAT YOU'D GO TO THE PARTY TOO. MOVIES SHOW FOR A FEW WEEKS IN THEATERS. IF YOU HAD A REAL PROBLEM YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT. WE'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, SAM. YOUR FRIENDS. ARE NOT. MIND READERS.

-MR. LANCER GOING AFTER THE GHOST WITH THE FIRE EXTINGISHER LMAO

-this outfit is everything . anytime the show does an over the top cutesty pink outfit i WANT IT. it looks like shit I wear JKASDHF I HAVE a bow like that and a pink sweater. I need leg warmers </3

-SAMS GOTTA RE-HALF-KILL HIM??? thats fucked up. but also, he finally got his logo!! it took until s2!!! this episode was lowkey very fucked and I felt like it glossed over a lot. does sam have guilt about like. kinda KILLING HIM?? I know, he also agreed and walked into the portal. but. she made the choice to redo it SO quickly (even if it was because someone had to beat desiree) and danny, during their fight, brought up a lot of stuff sam's done in the past, meaning he was holding onto those memories and resentment was building. (I KEEP SAYING HE LOWKEY NEEDS THERAPY, BUT I THINK MOST EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW KINDA DOES) which...is a red flag? and then they didnt even GO to the party URGH I know she tried to make up for it, but it really felt like Sam fucked up and barely faced any consequences and got everything she wanted in the end. I KNOW it's a kids show obv they aren't going to go too in depth, and she undid the damage, kinda, but...I DUNNO how to articulate it but it rubbed me the wrong way.

-but on a note about desiree, her powers of wishes were STRONG ENOUGH TO ERASE NOT JUST THEIR MEMORIES, BUT DANNY'S POWERS?! fuck, if I was danny I'd be like, trying to make friends with her. I know they always have horrible side effects as most genie-granted wishes do, but...c'mon, I'd at least TRY to be like 'I wish no ghosts would hurt anyone in my town' or 'I wish vlad would lose his ghost powers forever no matter What and also forget about my mom' LIKE. SHIT DESIREE IS SO POWERFUL. rewriting reality powerful, basically!! appreciate her. respect her.

-aww, sam helping tucker pass the nurse's office so he wouldn't see because he's afraid of medical stuff? very sweet. I also don't like medical stuff, I've gotten a lot better at handling it tho. but seeing blood and needles still makes me feel lightheaded x_x

-FOLEY, BY TUCKER FOLEY. I want to make my own perfume, that's so cool. even if his first attempt isn't good, he's pretty consistently shown to have an inventor/entrepreneur streak in the show, so like. I can see him inventing or making something (or several somethings) that make him $$$ when he grows up :) proud of my creative son

-I know the 'creepy abandoned hospital on the edge of town' is a joke and the creepy hospital trope is so Worn Out, but in my town we actually DO have a hospital like that! my dad was born in it, but its not in use and hasn't been for, like, 20 years! it needs to be torn down but I think the city doesn't wanna pay the money. the inside is horrible, spray painted and broken glass and shit everywhere. but there's still like, rusty equipment and fucking DOLLS all over the place. the cops drive by it pretty frequently to make sure no one is like, breaking in. (because of water damage, some of the areas really aren't safe. also, asbestos, but people still go in anyway) but also, some of my town was used in a filming for a stephen king show. So it's lowkey spooky all over. just a fun personal tidbit :) to lead into saying, any hospital abandoned for any period of time is NOT safe to quarantine these kids in JKSAHDKF like I KNOW it's a ghost trying to do this, but NONE of these parents are even like, 'well, why dont we keep them in the regular, working hospital'....YIKES. this hospital looks pretty accurate to the one in town. grungy and spooky.

-fentons are tax evaders confirmed by jack's fear of being audited, lol no one is surprised

-ghost sickness via ghost bugs. horrifying concept. I actually expected it to be a new villain, not dr. spectra again! this is a very elaborate scheme. her new form rules, love the new costume. the way none of the bg kids seem to recognize her as their old school councilor. did we just forget about that completely?

-dash watching romance movies in the fucked up ghost hospital. same.

-'oh please, you're ghosts, do you have any idea what YOU smell like?' no, tucker, what DO ghosts smell like? I genuinely didn't know they would even have a smell, I actually want to know now.

-it feels like a while since we've seen jazz!! i was happy to see her again, even if she was a head in a jar for most the episode. I want another jazz-focused ep!!

-we finally see danny doing space-related stuff!! him and his friends stargazing to open ep 3 of s2. cute :) until, GHOST PIRATES!!!!! ...ghost pirate captain is a small child?? VOICED BY TAYLOR LAUTNER???

-oh, the easy listening is ember's song instrumental slowed. 'vapor drone' THEY VAPORWAVED HER!!! ember in a pirate outfit tho >>>>. and the cruise being called m.bersback JKASDHJK. ember adopting a little pirate brother is also pretty cute. concerning this teen and little kid have such bad opinions of adults, like, who hurt you?? (how did you DIE ALSO?? im always lowkey curious about that. we know desiree died at an old age, but her ghost form is young, probably mid-20s, so I wonder how that sort of thing works...its a more mental thing, isn't it?) but ghost team-ups are always cool to see, even if ember bailed after danny took her guitar. I guess she probably thinks youngblood can handle it (which, he's been owning danny this far in the ep, so...fair)

-tucker got that sponsorship from nasty burger for their radio!!! again, opportunistic money maker king, love to see it!!!

-danny taking control of the kids SO FAST. he makes a pretty great leader. no one is surprised, im pretty sure I said I think he's the most mature of the trio, once again, correct, because he's taken on so much responsibility already. all the teens suiting up in the jumpsuits to go save the adults and taking the ship over with a BLIMP. OKAY LETS GO. this feels like it should be a mid finale or straight up finale.

-...speaking of finales. why is ep 4-5 of s2 combined into a 50 minute episode? I havent even clicked play and im concerned. weird placement, like, this season JUST started and we're getting a two parter? okay...why are the episodes placed like this? why not put this at episode 10 or something, for a mid-season thing?

-this is also a cute dress. possibly my fav dress so far. can her parents give ME cute dresses, I'LL wear them.

-it turns out the castle fright knight was in is called pariah's keep and there's something worse than fright knight in there! lovely! fuck off vlad wtf are you doing <3 your hubris <3 is going to literally get you killed <3 'ring of rage' and 'crown of fire' are great names tho. ...vlad turning into a super polite guy when he was scared of mr. pariah was hilarious. and fright knight doing the same...I mean, it makes sense, he's a knight, he serves a king? happy to see fright knight again either way :) vlad telling him to call him tho, lmfao. you WISH HE WOULD. (I wish hed call me, too. 😔)

-so...jack being genuinely concerned about vlad...maddie really didn't tell him what happened at the cabin, did she. damn. if I was her id immediately come home and be like 'YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS SHITTTT THIS CREEPY GUY--' like, I feel like that stuff you need to tell your partner!!! I know she didnt want Jack to think she was an irresponsible parent putting danny in danger at that time, but STILLLL. maddie spilling boiling tea on him. get his ass. how is jack this oblivious to his wife's discomfort with vlad!! ughhh

-fenton wipe (tm). trademarked toilet paper.

-DANNY AND VALERIE BEING FRIENDS??? :D that was a cute moment. 'hey val <3' and 'if you like him like him, make a move, or someone else will ;)' at sam...damn!! I love her. valerie go for it girl!!! I hate how sam and tucker treat val also, like I GET IT YOURE PROTECTIVE AND DONT TRUST but if anything him befriending valerie will help when she finds out or he tells her like I feel like she'll be more understanding that they think! ALSO I feel like her reason for not liking ghosts is valid, like you haven't really explained the full story to her anyway! she doesn't seem to have any other friends after being booted from the a-listers so im like :( but seeing them kick butt together again was nice <3

-the ghosts all RUNNING FROM PARIAH DARK IS NOT GOOD, I thought he sent them to attack or something, but no. why doesn't someone just tell desiree 'hey i wish pariah dark would die' lol. once again I think she can solve every problem <3 but seeing all the enemies in one place, being civil and hiding together? love it.

-you just know danny's gonna have to clean up vlad's stupid mess. also, jack being willing to put on the ectoskeleton pants to help maddie, as soon as vlad heard it could kill him, he suggested jack do it instead of helping maddie himself? this is why jack got the girl, my man.

-ghost skeletons. how do you end up as a skeleton ghost in your afterlife instead of a humanoid like most the ones we've seen? lmao

-the ghosts just making new homes in various stores. I'd totally be setting up in an expensive clothing store if I was a ghost.

-valerie's dad is possibly the most useful adult so far, with that ghost shield expansion!!! and valerie saving vlad and danny, even tho shes been thru it already, shes still so good!!! this family rules.

-danny: *gently caresses valerie* :)

-*then he immediately TELLS HER DAD ON HER. and his first response is 'are you okay?' :'( such a good dad...

-*me every time fright knight breathes* youre doing SO great sweetie :)

-the fenton suit thing is so silly looking. does anyone take this thing seriously

-ALL THE GHOSTS FIGHTING WITH DANNY <3 AAAAA. and the fact that pariah isn't perma-defeated, but just locked away again. yikes. he'll probably get out again, won't he? it wasn't too clear, but if vlad DID make a pact with fright knight, I am rabid. I will beat vlad to death with the fenton bat (tm). YOU DONT DESERVE A COOL KNIGHT.

-valerie being direct with sam and challenging her? kinda love that, even tho I normally don't like 'catfight' type situations. because sam has been very passive aggressive about it which is annoying. valerie knows wtf she wants and wasn't even embarrassed to tell sam, but she did tell her, giving sam time to make her own move! and sam denied it and got embarrassed/mad! and sam did have a chance when danny was about to go off and fight, and she hesitated and didn't tell him. I feel like she's hesitating because they're friends and it might make it weird between the trio (poor tucker would be third-wheeling) but if u snooze u lose, u gotta GO after what u WANT girl. smh this is a No Tsundere Zone. 😤

Stupid space opera anime with lots of fanservice but surprisingly compelling plots and aesthetics unfortunately seems to be a dead genre, why are all the protagonists generic fantasy heroes now, bring asshole captains with a heart of gold back

[mrawkweird]

Since Toonami played Michiko & Hatchin, I wouldn't mind seeing more underrated anime on the block. Like Beck Mongolian chop squad, Parasite kiss also planeties which focuses on space debris, But the most underrated hidden gem anime in my book would be the irresponsible captain Tylor that has a lot of charm to it and is a enjoyable space opera parody that I wish more anime fans have heard of.

I definitely agree with the idea of Toonami looking into more low key series to bring more eyes to. Speaking of, I was looking up Irresponsible Captain Taylor and damn if that isn’t looking like it would hit me in my old school anime soul. Even got some classic voice actors as well. If Toonami isn’t going to pick it up I might do it myself. Planetes is also something I would constantly see as a trailer on some of my anime DVDs. I supposed that’s a sign I should finally start looking into that one as well.

[a-student-out-of-time]

(I’m proud and don’t regret creating Nanami Tenmei and Harumi. Tenmei is a reference to Jojo where Kakyoin’s original given name, but the other staff mixed it up with Noriaki (probably the kanji). Araki still calls him Tenmei. XD While Harumi I named her off a character from Irresponsible Captain Taylor, a anime I recommend. Also Tenmei took his wife’s name, BTW. Honey anon)

//Interesting : P

[cultofthepigeon]

like things that could be done with the new warriors rn instead of....whatever is happening

Robbie fucking Baldwin get’s some closure with Namorita, Rich, and Dwayne since they all up and fuckign died in the most traumatic time in his life like????? Those reunions????? The emotions and their ramifications alone would fill ten issues

RICH getting closure with Namorita, Dwayne, and Robbie!!! HE left earth to defend it and came back to find out two people he loved, one of whom he was still in an on again/off again relationship with, fuckin DIED and everyone hated them??? HE saw wtf Robbie was going through??? And you’re telling me his return to Earth and reuinion with those three wouldn’t fucking???? kill me instantly??

Speaking of how the fuck is Elvin feeling about his adoptive dad being alive again????? Or his friends being alive again?????

How tf is DWAYNE feeling about seeing Elvin again, after coming back from the dead??

the fuckin PRIDE he woulda felt seeing this kid he raised going up against the fuckin Americops, butting heads with Captain America, and then making that brash  fuckin statement about the justice system? FUCK ME

WHAT ABOUT WHEN ELVIN WAS BEAT INTO A COMA IN PRISON

HOW THE FUCK DID HE FEEL ABOUT THAT?

ACTUALLY HOW THE FUCK IS ELVIN STILL NOT A VEGETABLE I MEAN IM SUPER HAPPY ABOUT IT BUT LIKE HOW THO

and listen I know that microbe was like that New Volume New Character guy from vols 3 and 4 but like Dwayne still adopted him and tried to do right by him and take care of him and he fucking DIED in front of him while every other nw member got to come back is there gonna be NO discussion of that???

Where tf is Donyell at??? Cord?? Sprocket??? The rest of the Taylor Foundation crew/family?

What about all those temp New Warriors they’ve collected over 5 volumes??? you can’t check in on any of those before making new ones???

fuck hindsight lad tho he can rot

Justice and Firestar just.....in general

Like I would cry if they got back together but also just itd be nice to see them interact again

But also defo like real quick as mutants how do they feel about Charles Xaviers Luxury Fuck Island and Ritual Death Battle Resort?

Firestar hasn’t gotten any up front actual page time in years like how IS she? 

How do Firestar and Rich feel about things like the Me Too movement which hits way closer to home for them

Same with Justice fuck man nazi’s are half way to running America how’s he doing?

actually given the fact that a group of fascist proto-military capitalist  super villains once refereed to them as “irresponsible brats, with their socialist/liberal agenda” and the fact that the most recent nw comic (written by god king Nicieza himself) showed them fighting ICE/predator Drones/Fox News and defending protesters I’d really like to just see them tackle literally ANY modern social issue

like quick think of a Hot Button Issue right now and the New Warriors probably dealt with it in the fucking 90s

date rape? check. rape cover ups on college campus? yep. police brutality? yep. prisoners rights? yep. american intervention in foreign war? several issues

racism in america?

....ok yes but admittedly it was really weird like the writer was clearly against racism but he wasn’t super well informed and also it was just really really weird

but that means they could have a do over!

is it a Representation Thing(tm)? is that what it is??? is that why you fuck them over so much Marvel??????? I thought yall were clamoring to board the Woke train without pissing off your neck beard dude bro fans and right wing investors???

well the New Warriors are RIGHT FUCKING THERE they tick like almost every box in the representation bingo card and you wont have to get your balls in a twist worrying about investing in new IP

if you’re worried about getting that sweet sweet LGBT dollar in then sure add a new character or two or idk make one of them lgbt

Speedball has literally hit on every member of the original team Marvel stop being pussies and make ball boy bi

what the fuck was i saying

anyways New Warriors are Good and would sooner shake hands with Tony “Inter-dimensional Concentration Camp Patent” Stark then start dragging teen heroes out of their homes at the order of the state

Blank Space - Episode 12

Flawless

Songs used in this chapter:

Flawless - Beyonce

Just A Girl - No Doubt (because I’ve been obsessing with this song since watching Captain Marvel)

'You wake up, flawless. Post up, flawless. Ride round in it, flawless. Flossing on that, flawless. This diamond, flawless. My diamond, flawless. This rock, flawless. My rock, flawless. I woke up like this.''

'I can't believe you did this'' Luke was on the verge of a mental breakdown after seeing the state of Morgan's last night dress. ''A thousand dollar Zuhair Murad dress stained with grass and beer. This is a hate crime.'' Morgan didn't say anything. She just sipped her coffee and made a mocking face. Her team was getting her ready to the red carpet of the Toronto Film Festival. She was wrapped in a robe, covering her gown, so it didn't get stained with foundation or lipstick. ''Last night was a total mess for us.'' Lucas moaned. He was the only one who wasn't doing anything. ''Your little show with Sebastian has Taylor climbing the walls back in New York.'' Morgan was tired of being blamed for something that hasn't been her fault at all. Taylor had called her that morning and shouted at her for ten minutes. She accused Morgan of being an irresponsible idiot and that she couldn't be left alone for five minutes without creating havoc. ''It wasn't my fault!'' she yelled. ''It was Sebastian's fault. He grabbed my hand, I had no idea about it! But, of course, it's always the woman's fault! We can never win! I don't know why Taylor thinks I'm some sort of man eater. At least the press doesn't agree with her.'' ''Keep calm!'' hissed Shontelle. ''I'm trying to wave your hair.'' ''The press is too busy planning your wedding'' said Lucas. ''And his fans are over the moon.'' Morgan tried to hide her satisfaction. It wasn't hard. She had only to remember Taylor's earful to ruin her mood. And she hadn't seen Sebastian in all day as he had been busy going through every press conference that was possible. One included a photoshoot with a puppy, that had melt Morgan's heart. But now it was the main act of the show, and Morgan had no idea what could happen. Knowing Sebastian, anything. He had no shame. Thinking about the devil, Morgan got out of her brooding mood when she heard knocks on the door. ''I go'' mumbled Lucas, knowing perfectly well who it was. There was Sebastian, ready to leave, looking devastatingly handsome, in a black velvet suit. ''You cropped me out of last night's pictures!'' was the first thing he said. ''And?'' by her face, she wasn't even sorry. ''It's my Instagram, I post what the hell I want to. And I looked great in that dress.'' That gave Luke an excuse to talk. ''A dress that you ruined! And don't even know what were you two doing last night, but today I dressed you in Alexander McQueen so don't you dare doing the same thing. If you two want to have sex, don't do it on the grass, just wait a couple of minutes and do it on the room so you won't ruin the dress.'' Morgan just looked resigned. In the course of one morning she had got used to the endless doses of teasing. But she preferred the teasing rather than Taylor's accusations of immorality. ''We weren't... doing that'' Sebastian blushed. ''We were eating pizza under a tree on the park.'' Somehow, that was more incredible because it was almost impossible that Sebastian and Morgan could stand each other for so long to finish a couple of pizzas. ''Yeah, whatever'' mumbled Luke. ''Just don't do it again.'' ''Always with the man eater narrative!'' Morgan suddenly exploded, surprising Sebastian. ''Why do you always have to think about sex? I really don't want to get him into my bed!'' she pointed at Sebastian. Lucas wanted to laugh. Maybe she didn't want that in the present but in the past, that was on her bucket list. ''Woah, thank you very much'' Sebastian groaned. ''Just shut up!'' Morgan yelled, throwing a make up sponge at him. ''Calm down! Is she okay?'' a worried Sebastian asked Lucas. ''Yeah, she just drank coffee with almost no food, that's why she's a little cranky. And Taylor called her out so she's a bit mad at that too.'' ''And it was your fault!'' Morgan yelled again. This time she didn't have anything close to throw at him. ''Tell me that at least you got yelled by your agent, please!'' Sebastian almost felt guilty to tell the truth to Morgan. ''Well... no'' he admitted. ''Emily was over the moon. She congratulated me for getting some sense into my head. She was a bit disappointed when I told her that we weren't really dating and I just grabbed your hand in a reckless and stupid move. But she didn't think that it was stupid. And Damien is also really happy, that's what Emily said. He's probably dancing, around the studio.'' Morgan looked defeated. It seemed that everyone minus Taylor thought that Sebastian's move was a marketing masterpiece. He, who was having more and more recognition every day, was being pictured holding hands in a very public way with his co-star, Hollywood's hottest newcomer, who had just covered Vogue and was rumoured to be walking in this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Yes, they were a couple to remember. And about his girlfriend, well... no one seemed to care. Maybe they would have, if she were a celebrity too but... she wasn't. That made Morgan felt a little bad (not too much, after all her fangirl feelings were still there) but at the same time, that was not her fault. Florence should have known in what she was getting herself into when she had decided to date Sebastian. The media was ruthless and Hollywood was even worse. And the fans were the icing to the cake. And someone like Sebastian was always going to be linked with her co-stars, if not Morgan, someone else. That was the way it was and if Florence couldn't handle it, that was not Morgan's responsibility at all. She had to continue doing what she needed to do and she couldn't stop to spare the feelings of a woman she hardly knew. ''I still don't understand why Taylor can't see the bright side of the picture'' Morgan seemed to have calmed down a bit. ''Because she's a nice and honest woman who still thinks that morality can win in this industry.'' she was expecting Lucas to answer but instead Sebastian did it. ''Emily was the same at the beginning of my career, until we noticed that if we wanted to get somewhere we had to play dirty sometimes.'' ''That's the way it is'' she said, with no emotion in her face. She stood up taking off her robe on the process only to reveal the beautiful silver dress she was wearing. She looked like a dream. ''Let's go'' she ordered Sebastian. ''Okay...'' he was quite distracted, looking at Morgan. ''You look, really good.'' he didn't want to be that evident in front of Morgan's team. ''Thank you'' she mumbled. ''Hey, you're forgetting the jewellery,'' Luke placed some delicate rings on her fingers that matched with her diamond earrings. ''Please, don't ruin the dress this time.'' he begged. Morgan left the room and Sebastian followed her, almost tripping on the way out. ''Are you okay?'' he asked. ''Yes.'' she nodded. ''And how was the press junket?'' ''I was expecting worse, to be honest. And they handed me a puppy and it was so adorable. He fell asleep on me, it was the cutest thing ever. I wanted to bring him with me.'' Morgan, who had seen the pictures, agreed with him: it was the cutest thing ever. The puppy and Sebastian. She tried to hide the soft expression in her face. ''That was probably adorable.'' she simply said. ''Maybe I get a puppy once I get to New York. I already have half the custody of a cat but I'm not allowed to see him.'' ''Don't give yourself attributions. Thirteen is mine.'' ''I literally found him.'' he had a playful smile and she just rolled her eyes at him. The car was already waiting for them when they left the hotel. Sebastian helped Morgan to get in the car and for once she didn't refuse it. He was moving his arms at the rhythm of the pop song that was being played, even if he didn't know the name of it. That made Morgan smile and a second later she was 'dancing' just like him. They weren't saying a word to each other but dancing was enough, it was enjoyable for them both. Sebastian didn't want to arrive to the place at all. He was wildly thinking about skipping the festival only to keep Morgan in a good mood. ''Damn, it's raining'' she looked through the window. ''It seems that we won't be able to run away tonight''. Morgan just shook her head. She was actually lamenting not being able to repeat last night's adventure. But that didn't mean that there was not going to be another type of adventure. Who knew. ''Here we are.'' he said. The place was full of fans of his, that was quite obvious because the majority of them had signs with his picture in it. No one seemed to care about Kit Harington, Chris Pine or anyone else. Sebastian was the star of the show and Morgan was sure that he was not going to disappoint. Morgan was thinking that if it wasn't for the crazy chance she had had at being able to play the lead role in a famous movie, she would have been one of the fans, waiting for Sebastian under the rain. And now she had the guy basically all to herself and there were days she wanted to send him back to Romania and lock him up there. Crazy how her life had changed. He helped Morgan to get off and immediately both of them were surrounded by security and photographers. In the blink of an eye, a guy taller than Morgan was holding an umbrella over his head. Before no one could notice, Sebastian had freed himself from the horde of security and was about to cross the street to meet his fans. Morgan had been right, he was not going to disappoint. ''Hey, where are you going?'' a big, bulky man asked him. But Sebastian didn't even answer and ran towards his fans, with his own umbrella guy running after him. ''These stars...'' the bulky man mumbled, quite annoyed. Morgan let herself be guided by someone from the organization, always with a kind and polite expression. On the way to the red carpet she kept waving and people with a big smile on her face. It was surprising how many people were cheering for her. She felt incredibly great and grateful. At some point she followed Sebastian's example and freed herself from the security guards to take pictures, sign some autographs and talk a bit with the fans. The bulky security guard looked like he hated his job. Finally Morgan arrived to the red carpet and the flashes only intensified. She was freezing but being the professional she was, she never let it show in her face. She just did all the poses she was asked and the photographers were pretty happy with her. Finally, the pictures were over and it was the turn of talking with the press. She had no idea what they were going to ask her when had no movie screening there and was just Sebastian's plus one. She was still thinking what she was going to say when a reporter from Entertainment Tonight intercepted her. ''Miss Llewellyn, can we have a word?'' he asked her. ''Of course.'' ''Great'' he motioned something to the camera man. ''Three, two, one, recording. Morgan, tell us, as a newcomer, what are you looking forward the most at this year's TIFF?'' ''Nicole Kidman of course.'' she said with a pleasant smile and a soft laugh. ''I really want to meet her and I swear I'm not going to fangirl over her. I'm going to compose myself.'' Morgan was internally thanking the interviewer for not asking what the hell was she doing there. ''And The American Dream premiere's at next year's TIFF, are you excited for this?'' ''I can't wait. But we have to finish filming and we still have a long way too go. Initially, it was going to premiere at Cannes but Damien decided to premiere at Toronto because usually, the movies screening here have more chances at the award's season. That's Damien Chazelle's thinking, not mine.'' she excused herself, laughing. ''I guess he knows best'' ''Yeah'' Morgan agreed with the reporter. ''He has an Oscar and this year he's going for the second. He's premiering First Man next week at the Venice Film Festival, that I'm not invited to, which is a pity because I always wanted to go to Venice.'' She and the reporter laughed. ''Is there a reason you're coming with Sebastian tonight?'' Of course he had to be mentioned in the interview. ''I'm just here rooting for a cast mate'' she simply said. But lately she decided to add a tiny bit of spice to her answer. ''Not really,'' she winked at the camera, making sure everyone noticed that what she was going to say was sarcastic. ''I think he didn't have anyone to come with him so I'm doing him a favour by being here. The deal was that he was going to introduce me to Nicole Kidman.'' Morgan and the reporter laughed again. ''Wow, that's quite the exchange... and which movie do you think is going to shine?'' That question gave Morgan more cues to be cheeky. ''Well, I'm supposing to root for Sebastian but I want to piss him off so, I'm going to go for Beautiful Boy, starring my almost co-star Timothee Chalamet. Get that boy an Oscar, once and for all!'' Morgan wasn't joking because she considered Timothee a wonderful actor but not even in an alternate universe she was going to choose him over Sebastian. ''That was a bold statement. And one more that has nothing to do with this if you will excuse me... everyone is really curious about you walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Is there some true to these rumours?'' ''Not really.'' she admitted. ''I think that it was an Internet joke that got out of hand. And I watched how hard the models have to work out to get ready for the show and it's just painful to someone like me. I just work out four hours a week. Maybe I dress as an angel for Halloween, who knows.'' Yes, an angel, thought Morgan, but a weeping angel from Doctor Who. ''Thank you, Morgan for your time.'' Morgan just politely smiled, nodded and went on her way through the red carpet until she was stopped again, this time by someone from the organisation. ''Miss Llewellyn, please, I beg you, can you go back and take some pictures with Mr. Stan? The photographers are basically demanding to have some pictures of you two together.'' Morgan followed him without protesting. She knew that she could do nothing about it as if she dared to deny to take pictures with him it would result in media speculation, Damien Chazelle displeased and sending both of them to do some PR plot again, and both of their agents furious. Taking pictures with him was the easy way out. ''Where were you?'' he asked her when she joined him on the red carpet. ''Giving an interview. Now, let's get on with this.'' This time it was Morgan who grabbed his hand to guide him in front of the photographs who were frantically snapping pictures. They looked absolutely gorgeous together. Morgan's beauty was enhanced by Sebastian's classic movie star aura and handsomeness. They were a couple to die for. ''Kiss her, Sebastian!'' shouted a photographer. Morgan leaned in only to whisper something in his ear. ''If you do that, I swear I'm going to punch you in the face, right here in front of everyone'' He nodded. He wasn't planning to kiss Morgan in front of a horde of people. Yes, he was guilty of wanting to kiss her more than once and that had left him with an almost unbearable feeling of guilt afterwards. Sebastian just did the most politically correct thing in which he could think and looked at Morgan with an enchanted smile and she, thankfully, did exactly the same. The photographers were happy and they could finally leave. He grabbed Morgan by the waist and took her away. ''At least is over. Now, let's get in. We have to mingle with the people and I have the panel of my movie''. ''Am I going to meet Nicole Kidman? Because that's the only reason I'm here.'' ''Wow, thank you for your support, Llewellyn.'' ''C'mon'' she shot him a hard glance. ''You've gone to plenty of events by yourself, Sebastian. I don't know what's that current obsession of yours of going to every event with me.'' ''It was not my idea, it was Damien's'' He may be blaming Damien but he was blushing at the same time. Morgan was aware that they were attracting all the glances by some reason. It wasn't as if this whole event revolved around them, as there were many actors with longer careers than theirs that were also promoting their movies. ''Let's stay here for a little while'' Sebastian pulled Morgan to a corner that was a little hidden from the people. ''I'm quite overwhelmed by so many people'' he took his phone out of his pocket because it was beeping. He glanced at it, reading the notifications. ''Hey!'' he looked at Morgan, with an almost outraged expression. ''Why do you want Beautiful Boy to shine? I thought you were my date.'' Well, her recent interview had spread fast and also... did Sebastian have the notifications of her latest news on his phone? ''Yeah, because I had no other option. And I may be your date but that doesn't mean that I have to be your number one fan. You have hundreds of people who do this job right outside, believe me I'm not one of them.'' She was not going to admit that she had been one of them. ''You're always so sweet, Llewellyn.'' she left the hidden corner and he followed her. ''Are you like this with everyone or only with me?'' ''Only with people that annoy me'' she blatantly said. ''When you're in a normal mood I sort of like you.'' ''And what is a 'normal mood'? this time he was genuinely curious. ''Like last night. Talking about deep stuff instead of this nonesensical blabbering.'' ''I can say the same'' Sebastian started to justify himself. ''I really like you when you lay down your armor and stop throwing sarcastic arrows at me for no reason at....'' Suddenly he stopped talking, made a strange sound and hid behind Morgan, who wasn't a difficult task considering that when she was wearing heels, she was taller than him. ''What on earth is going on? Did you see Voldemort walking to you?'' ''Just please, do me a favor and don't stop walking until we crossed that door.'' She did exactly the opposite and stopped. ''But why are you hiding? Have you offended someone? Did you steal their girlfriends?'' ''No! But Jennifer is there and I don't really want her to see me.'' ''Jennifer Lawrence?'' Morgan frantically looked around. ''Because if you're talking about Jennifer Anniston, let me freak out.'' or it also may be Jennifer Conelly or Jennifer Garner. What Morgan had no idea was what on earth any of them had to do with Sebastian. ''Anyway, whoever you're talking about probably knows that you're here. I mean, we've been on the red carpet two minutes ago and news spread fast.'' He knew that Morgan was right. ''Please, Morgan, she's my ex girlfriend'' ''Oh... that Jennifer.'' of course Morgan knew about her and, yes, she had been jealous. But Jennifer Morrison was, hands down, her favorite of Sebastian's former girlfriends. ''And you're hiding? Can this be more pathetic?'' she teased him. ''What did you do to the poor girl? Did you rob her house? Did you kidnapped her cat?'' she shot him a meaningful glance. ''I mean, you're taking attributions with my cat and the only thing that link us is a role in a movie.'' ''Shut up, Morgan and keep walking.'' ''I refuse'' she stood there with her arms crossed. ''I'm not being your accomplice in your cowardice. Hiding of an ex girlfriend... I didn't know you were still in high school, Sebastian.'' ''I just didn't want to find her here'' he tried to hid behind Morgan again, which was useless because Morgan immediately turned around. ''And that's not my problem. By the way, I'm going to go and say hi to her because I really like her'' Sebastian grabbed her arm, trying to stop her. ''I warn you, Sebastian. Better stop acting like an immature teenager and walk.'' but Sebastian wasn't moving. ''Okay, I'm not saying hi to her. I'll do it in another time. Happy?'' he nodded. ''Now walk.'' Everyone was going pretty well until Sebastian decided to be an idiot and hid himself against Morgan again when they were passing in front of Jennifer. With no shame she grabbed him by the arm and made him walk in front of her, not caring about they looked at that moment. If Sebastian wanted to hide, he could do it, but not using Morgan as a human shield. ''Sebastian?'' someone asked and Morgan knew perfectly well who that was. Morgan just wanted to laugh. Seeing Sebastian Stan trying to hide from an ex girlfriends was priceless. ''Hi, Jennifer'' he wrapped his arm around Morgan shoulders, to make sure she didn't sneak away, that was exactly what she was planning to do as she had caught a glimpse of Nicole Kidman. ''Nice to see you.'' Morgan rolled her eyes, twenty seconds ago he was hiding from her. ''By the way, this is Morgan, my gir...'' ''Co-star!'' Morgan basically yelled, guessing his intentions. ''Which means that after finishing the movie and the promotion I don't have to see him anymore.'' Jennifer didn't know if Morgan was being sarcastic or she really couldn't wait to get rid of Sebastian. ''Nice to meet you, Morgan. I heard a lot about you.'' Jennifer had seen Morgan on Instagram, at the cover of Vogue and literally everywhere where Chanel makeup was being sold. But talking to the real life version of Morgan was quite a challenge because she had an intimidating vibe that made it hard to talk to her with coherent words. ''I saw your Vogue cover, it was really great.'' Morgan expression changed to an innocent smile. It was as if someone had switched sarcastic Morgan with her nicer, sweeter twin. She suddenly looked approachable and even kind. ''Really? Thank you! It was my first cover so I don't know if I did it right.'' ''Believe me, you did. And how is working with Sebastian?'' And... sarcastic Morgan was back. It was noticeable in her facial expression that went from cute and innocent to condescending. Jennifer couldn't believe how fast could someone change her whole personality. ''An... spectacular experience'' every word was soaked in sarcasm. ''Thank you very much.'' Sebastian whispered to her. In his opinion working with Morgan was not that bad. Yes, at the beginning they were at each other's throats all of the time but now things were getting better. ''You're welcome.'' she winked to Sebastian. ''Now, if you will excuse me, I'll leave. A pleasure to meet you, Jennifer.'' and for once, Morgan was being honest. ''Likewise'' Jennifer didn't know what to think of Morgan but she didn't dislike her. She had a peculiar personality, that was all. ''Where are you going?'' Sebastian stopped her, grabbing her arm. She slapped his hand away. Was he trying to control her? ''None of your business''. She walked away with a perfect model-like catwalk. It was impossible not to stare at her. ''Feisty, isn't she?'' Jennifer asked. ''She's like trying to tame a wildcat.'' He didn't take his eyes off Morgan, who was talking to Elizabeth Olsen. Then Chris Pine approached her and that was when Sebastian decided that he needed to interfere. ''Okay, I need to go. See you later''. ''Hey, wait! Be careful with her, okay? Don't suffocate her because you just said that she was like a wildcat so, that means that she can scratch you back and it's not going not going to be nice.'' ''Why are you saying this?'' for once he took his sight away from Morgan and looked at Jennifer. ''Because I'm the only one of your ex-girlfriends that still talks to you. I know that relationships are not your strong point and it doesn't seem that someone as free spirited as Morgan Llewellyn is going to be the solution to that problem.'' He thought for a second but as always, his heart got the best of him. ''She's just my co-star'' his sad smiled revealed that he wasn't happy of having that status. ''Whatever you say'' for Jennifer it was pretty evident that Sebastian wasn't just simply attracted to Morgan but he was slowly and almost unnoticeably falling for her. Sebastian walked towards Morgan that was still talking to Elizabeth and Chris Pine. ''Morgan... we should get going. Oh, hi Liz! And... Pine.'' He offered his hand to Morgan who surprisingly took it, without making a fuss. ''See you later'' she said Elizabeth and Chris and Sebastian just winked at them. What Jennifer had told him was stuck in his head. Maybe he was being too suffocating with her and she was just fighting back. And he was suddenly remembering that he had started all the fights with her, from arriving late in their first meeting, then calling her 'overnight success', something that had deeply offended her and then being a bit dense with her, like the time when she was peacefully talking to Chris Evans and he had crashed the moment. After all, he didn't know who Morgan really was inside that hard shell of her. The only way to do it was with patience and gentleness, showing her that she could trust him but not with words but with actions. ''Morgan...''he ran his thumb on her knuckles. ''I don't know if I told you before but... you look beautiful.'' ''Thank you'' She had a smile he hadn't seen on her before. It wasn't her usual condescending or ultra confident smile but one full of simplicity that somehow made her look a hundred times more beautiful. Somehow he knew that this smile belonged to the real Morgan, the one who was hidden inside her shell. And he didn't like it. He loved it. ''I'm sorry if I somehow involved you in my mess... yeah, I know, Jennifer is great but I didn't want to see her. We didn't end up badly but my reasons were quite embarrassing.'' he didn't know why he was telling that to Morgan. ''I still feel quite... I don't know...'' ''Ashamed?'' ''Yeah'' he admitted. ''We were better off as friends, I suppose.'' once he started talking it was almost impossible to stop. ''I mean, our relationship was fine... but it wasn't exciting.'' Morgan couldn't believe that she was getting all that information. ''Is the same with Florence. She's a great woman but there's no fire and she's not... nothing.'' He was about to say 'She's not you' in front of Morgan herself and that was the worst thing that could ever happen to him. Morgan would never let him be after that and the guilt he was already feeling was going to consume him. But for once Morgan didn't look condescending but rather a bit sympathetic. ''I'm a bit sorry for you. It seems that you've got no one to talk if you're confessing this stuff to me.'' But inside her head the only things she could hear were sirens, provoked by what he had just confessed. So, he wasn't happy in his relationship... Take that, Taylor! It wasn't Morgan's fault at all, after all. He was simply dating the wrong woman for God knows what reason. So, it wasn't that unreasonable that he had started looking at his beautiful co-star with other eyes. It wasn't as if Florence was a bad person or anything, quite the contrary, Morgan thought, they just weren't for each other, it was easy as that. ''Are you okay?'' he asked and Morgan realised that she had got lost in her thoughts. ''Yeah, I was just thinking that you seem to have some sort of mental block that makes you unable to do whatever you the hell you want to.'' ''Are you questioning my life choices?'' he asked. ''No'' she cheekily looked at his eyes. ''I'm just making a commentary. If I were your guardian angel I'd be banging my head against a wall at every bad choice you make. I'd probably be unconscious by now. Or dead, who knows.'' Damn Morgan Llewellyn striking straight to the wound. No one else with the exception of his mother had been so direct with him. She was honest and he loved it. ''Maybe that's the reason I'm quite a mess. And what happened to your angel, Morgan?'' ''Probably resigned when I was five. It couldn't be with me anymore. Since then I probably have a guardian demon.'' ''And that's explains a lot.'' he joked. Of course that they didn't believe in guardian angels, they were just trying to justify Sebastian's bad life choices and Morgan's questionable approach to life. ''We're quite a well matched couple. My unconscious and probably dead angel and your demon.'' ''That sounds like the plot of a cheesy and awful Young Adult book that probably Hollywood would adapt into a movie afterwards. You can act in it.'' ''No, thanks. I had enough of awful supernatural movies with The Covenant.'' ''I don't blame you'' They were easily getting well again, walking around the place, laughing at people and at themselves. That was until they finally found Nicole Kidman and Morgan was so shocked that she didn't manage to make a sound. ''Sebastian, sweetie!'' she greeted him and it was evident that Nicole held him in high esteem. ''I was looking for you. We have the panel before the screening in twenty minutes so get ready. I want you to talk, sweetie, because sometimes you stay in silence during the whole interview.'' ''But I never get anything asked! And I'm not going to interrupt when you are talking because that's rude.'' ''Okay, fair enough. I'll find a way for you to talk and you're going to do it.'' then Nicole's eyes focused on Morgan. ''Goodness... Morgan Llewellyn, I thought Sebastian was joking when he said earlier today during the press junkets that he was going to bring you as his date. It's great to finally meet you!'' ''Likewise.'' Morgan was impressed. She didn't know that Nicole Kidman was aware of her existence. ''You and Seb make a gorgeous off screen couple. I can't wait to see your on screen chemistry.'' This time Morgan didn't shout that they were just co-stars. With an angelic smile on his face she got closer to Sebastian. But he was wrong of he though that Morgan was going to lie in front of Nicole Kidman that they were a couple. She was just going to tell the truth in some other way. ''We're definitely having a good time filming the movie'' Sebastian wanted to laugh. Yes, they had had good moments on sets but they had also shouted at each other on the first day of filming. ''But Seb and I are not a couple'' Morgan looked at Nicole with puppy dog eyes, as if she were sad by the fact that Sebastian and her were not together. Sebastian almost believed her, except from the fact that he knew that Morgan was devious as hell and she could make people believe whatever she wanted. It was a great tool in the laid back relationship she had with the press. ''That's kind of disappointing.'' Nicole admitted. ''I was rooting for you two.'' 'Yeah, me too' thought Morgan. Since 2013. But life was a bitch and even though she had all the chances in the world with him, she couldn't do anything without damaging her career. She didn't want to be known as 'boyfriend stealer' and Sebastian as a cheater. Sebastian was the one who had to get out of his own mess so Morgan could do something about it. Deep inside, Sebastian agreed with Nicole. She was also rooting for him and Morgan. ''Anyway...'' Nicole decided to leave them alone. ''I have to get going. See you in twenty minutes.'' Morgan waited until Nicole was out of sight to speak. ''Oh my Gosh, she knew who I was!'' she looked like a teenager fan of some boyband member. ''This is totally crazy. I had no idea that Nicole Kidman knew of my existence.'' she grabbed Sebastian arm and looked at him with her eyes full of happiness. Sebastian had never seen her like that. ''I reacted the same way when I met her. She also knew who I was and I almost passed out. I still can't believe I got to work with her.'' ''I understand how it feels'' Morgan gave him a meaningful look. ''Working with someone you've admired for a long time.'' of course that she was referring to him but she was not going to admit it. ''That's what I felt when I worked with Ian McKellen.'' Making their way towards the theatre room should have been a very simple task but thanks to all the people that stopped them in the middle, they needed ten minutes to get there. Most of them wanted to talk to Morgan. ''You'll see that in the next months you'll have many of these people fighting to offer you roles. When our movie comes out you won't be able to live in peace. Directors will be approaching you in the craziest of places. Damien Chazelle himself got me in the bathroom of the airport the same day I was leaving to Greece.'' Morgan stopped walking. That was not the version of the story she knew. ''Wait a second... didn't you have to audition for the role? The media kept saying that you, Tom Holland and Timothee were competing for the role.'' Sebastian shook his head. ''That was a rumour that Damien himself put up there not to make that obvious that I had the role since the first day. It's true that he cast you first and he told me that you were his first option since he saw you in Lady Macbeth in 2016. Then he got a hold of you through a Juilliard woman who knew Ian McKellen. He saw all of your RADA auditions and offered you the role at the last one. Once you agreed he approached me in that bathroom and offered me the role and he told me who my co-star was and that you and I were going to set the screen on fire. He wasn't wrong. To put it simply, he had chosen us before we even knew about it.'' ''The sneaky bastard...'' Morgan couldn't believe it. ''So, I had my career saved since 2016 and I learnt about that in 2018. I went through useless auditions for TV commercials for nothing. And I didn't even got the jobs. Damn it, Damien Chazelle, you could have told me about this before.'' ''He had to wait for the green light from the studio to do the movie and that probably took him some time. And he was also directing First Manduring that time.'' ''I suppose you're right. Still, we should be even more grateful with the guy. We were Damien Chazelle's first option. Your career was going pretty well before but maybe this role gets you an Oscar nom or at least a Golden Globe. And me... well... I wasn't as glamorous six months ago and look at me now. The story tells itself.'' No matter what Morgan said, he could never imagine her being not glamorous or forgettable. It was Morgan bloody Llewellyn, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen who also had an striking personality that stood out. ''I seemed that he was shipping us before we knew about each other's existence.'' Yeah, sure, Sebastian, Morgan thought. Maybe he had had no idea who she was but Morgan had been crushing on Sebastian since 2013. ''The least thing we can do to thank him is to marry each other after we finish filming and let Damien officiate.'' Morgan joked and Sebastian looked as if he was considering the idea and actually liking it. ''I'm joking, Stan. I don't want to ever marry you. Not for a million dollars.'' L.I.A.R. Sebastian wasn't even disappointed. He knew that Morgan was going to say stuff like that but that didn't mean that they were true. ''And here I was, thinking that it was a good idea. I can book us a date in the court house for us to marry. And remember Morgan, it's for life.'' ''For the love of God, what did I do that I deserve to spent the rest of my life with you. That is what I call punishment.'' Of course that Morgan didn't believe in what she was saying but it was priceless to say stuff like that in front of Sebastian. Unfortunately for them the banter couldn't go on as Sebastian's panel was starting and he was rushed on stage and Morgan was guided to her seat. Nicole had been right when she had said that Sebastian almost never talked because he said like one sentence in the whole panel. Yeah, it was true that he was a supporting character but Morgan wanted to stand up and shout at him to talk. When the panel was over he went to seat next to Morgan. ''How did it went?'' ''Fine. I love Nicole Kidman, it's for her that I'm here, remember that.'' ''Nah, you're here for me and you know it.'' ''You wish'' and she wasn't lying this time. The only reason why she agreed with Damien's plan of her coming with Sebastian to Toronto was because she was going to meet Nicole Kidman. ''I do, to be honest. There's is going to be a day when you'll go to my events willingly and not to meet someone else.'' ''I can't see the future so I don't know what to comment.'' ''You're unbelievable'' he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pressed her against him. He went one step further and kissed her forehead. It was surprising that she didn't push him away. 

This is Morgan’s dress, without the veil thing. And yes, it’s Alexander McQueen.

P.S. @thatoneslytherinbeater gave me the idea of starting a tag list, so if you want to be in it, just like this post.

I went to see Captain Marvel and I felt so empowered afterwards, like I could do anything. I love my girl Carol Danvers and the lovely Brie Larson to pieces.
