TOP TEN: i m p o s s i b l e
Really though Iāve been sitting here marveling at the fact that, this show has been on since 2005, it has either 17 or 20 full seasons with two more on the way, (the episode counts are weird) I can pop in Season 2 or Season 16 still have a grand old time. They just do...whatever the hell they want, and it works!
I wracked my brain for several months, I made some painful cuts, hereās my top ten lol. In no particular order. Just barely managed to figure out what my fave ep of all time is
Spoilers!! Kind of. I donāt want to spoil these in case people wanna watch them. But who am I kidding; Iām screaming into a void over here. ANYWHO:
The Life and Times of Stan Smith 12-15
Okay. So one set up in this show is, Stan is against something. Turns out he canāt avoid that thing or itās a Good Thing Actually. He gets waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far into it. Shenanigans!! Itās great, I love it. My favorite example is this episode. He gets addicted to dying. Like...like actually dying.
Meanwhile, Steve goes to Arizona State University and does not have a good time
Daddy Queerest 4-19
This episode just warms my heart. Greg and Terry are a gay couple that live across the street. Terryās dad is visiting for the weekend and doesnāt know Terryās gay. Dramaaaa!! Oh my god, the ending of this one is so cute and good.
Meanwhile, Roger buys beer for Steve and his friends at a party. For $12 profit.
I feel like i should acknowledge something. *sigh* So yeah. Greg and Terry *are* that stereotypical gay couple where almost every joke with them is that They're Gay. But i dunno, I never got the sense of any malice behind it. They're never put down by other characters for it and there's never any theme or joke that it's bad to be gay and over the top like them?
I understand why it is annoying to only see that portrayal and that the joke being HAHA GAY is bad though so...Your Mileage May Vary
Hayley Smith, Seal Team 6 11-3
Eps like this one make me so happy this show got a second chance on another channel. Hayley ends up mentally regressing to age six. Jeff and Klaus try to get her back to normal. I love all the little bits they do that show how her relationship with her parents was like.
Meanwhile, a weird stranger convinces Steve and his friends to use a slow cooker while making pork. Heās not even a real pervert!
Thereās this adorable part when she does patty-cake with Roger which shows they used to like each other too.
EXCEEEEEEPT!! [extra nerdy glasses on] In season 2, Roger sings a song about how he used to be close friends to Steve. And in that, when they first met, Roger is shown to be given to Steve as a birthday present.
While Hayley and Francine freak out, and the design they use for Hayley is her mid-puberty design in a later ep
THEREFORE they did not meet when she was six. Episode recalled
[iām kidding itās delightful and Iām just a freak about this show go watch it lol. it might not even be exactly how they were, just showing how they would be if they met back then]
Lost in Space 8-18
Jeff is trapped on the ship of Rogerās people. Pretty much every episode about Jeff going to, being in, or result of space is really good. I could shove them all into this...part of this non-numbered list
It's adorable! Like almost painfully so. Whenever I hear people say this show is too mean or gross I can think of several episodes where they're not lol
Haylias 3-5
This one was my top fave for the longest time. Hell it still might be. Turns out Hayley was trained to be a CIA sleeper agent. Stan re-activates her so sheāll be independent in the way he prefers...kind of. He actually feels a little guilty about it.
Meanwhile, this is also the ep when, the myths, the LEGENDS, Wheels and the Legman are born!! Fantastic [Steve and Roger pretend to be detectives and half the joke is they're making it up as they go along. it's one of my favorite plot threads ever in this show]
Flirting With Disaster 6-18
Soooo...Stan and Francine. I love them so much. They're insane. Ohhhh my god. In this one, itās revealed that Stan flirts with other people at work. Nothing that leads to an affair or anything. Francine ends up working there and everythingās fine until something happens that renders her horrifically scarred. Now they gotta learn how to flirt with each other again.
It starts with an...homage? Parody? Of āThe Officeā, but with who Stan works with at the CIA. They keep with that parody in how the scenes are shot and the general humor, until the first commercial break. They also explain that in-universe in a funny way that isnāt too meta. (Oh man, I could go ON about how this show does meta humor) The humor they do isnāt too far off from how the show generally is, so when it goes back to how the show is normally shot itās not too jarring.
Meanwhile, Steve builds birdhouses as a hobby and Roger starts a business with that. Thereās this one part with birds that leaves me in shock and awe every time like jesus christ itās just soo...the efforts they go to just for A Bit in this show. I need to make a separate post about that I just sfhdjsjfhsdklghdslkgds
Yule. Tide. Repeat. 15-22
The Christmas eps of this show. SHIT GETS WILD. Almost every one thatās come out has been in my top fave episodes. Stan wants to have a normal, āNorman Rockwell Christmas,ā because every one theyāve ever had has been very bad and very weird. His words, not mine. Something goes terribly wrong, and Stan ends up caught in a time loop where he has to pick the right path to find his family.
Thereās a part with gore, and honestly gore jokes are one of my least favorite parts of this show. BUT. Itās used effectively in this story. (and I will acknowledge that even though I donāt like gore jokes. at least when they happen on this show itās actually a joke or part of the plot sooo whatever)
The Two Hundred 11-10
Itās the apocalypse for some reason. Stan wanders the earth with tattoos feeling real bad about how he treated his family. Greg is there too. Heās fun, I like Greg
West to Mexico 12-22
So every once in a while there will be an āauā episode, where the characters arenāt related to each other but still do a Thing. (I mean every once in a while; thereās only been like two or three over 300 eps and Iām not sure if one is even ācanonā)
In this one, Stanās an outlaw in the United States after the civil war. Wild west stuff happens. I think it's based on a movie. But when this show does movies they donāt just do a movie scene but itās the characters and theyāre meta about it, theyāll just do a scene or something similar to it. Like no one turns to the camera and says āheeey this is just like Djanjo Unchained!ā or whatever it was. Itās based on something but itās still done in the style and humor of the show, which is neat.
One Little Word 4-3
Oh god. THIS ONE. You know what, Iāve finally decided. This one is my favorite. This ep is like a culmination of everything I love about this show. The cringe AND the good shit. This was an ep that when it came on Iād feel like YEESSS ITāS THIS ONE. You know that feeling?? Like you know youāre gonna have an excellent time for the next half hour. I just...thereās so many little details and bits that are expanded upon later and little cute character moments and everything just builds to this hilarious payoff and AAAAAAH
Thereās a couple jokes that are kinda...well not the worst thing ever but I can see why today people might be like...mmmm No. But mostly I just. Oh god. I just love I was able to fall in love with this one all over again. Christ I havenāt even said what itās about yet.
So Stan wants to be Bullockās number one at work. (thereās already Layers here) He goes so far to bring back his wife from being captured overseas. Meanwhile Francine wants to celebrate with Stan up alone at a lake. Unfortunately Bullockās family ends up staying at Stanās houseā¦
(Lake Fraiser. I havent seen much of that show but recently Iāve been wondering if this episode is a parody of either an episode of it or just its style of writing in general?? Iāve wanted to watch Fraiser but never got around to it. The syndicated channel I watched reran this show, Two and a Half Men, and Friends instead. Baaarrff lmao)
Oh dear god I've done it. Kind of. See Iām looking at this list and thereās STILL sooooooo many I love where Iām like āwhat about this ep. And this one. And this one. Technically thereās infinite numbers between one and tenā Thereās at least on ep per season in that top five list I did where I KNEW Iād be like āwhy isnāt This one on the list goddammitā

The Interview
Summary: After a talk show interview where secrets are revealed, things get heated in your dressing room.
Pairing: Rockstar Bucky x F. Reader
Warnings: Smut. 18+ Only. Minors DNI. Rockstar AU.
See My Masterlist Here
A/N: Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee has me in a chokehold. So this was born from my tatted, horny daydreams.
"Who is your celebrity crush?" The host of the Midnight Show, Chet Smith asked you. Your newest movie was a box office hit, so you had to do every talk show to promote it. To say you were exhausted is an understatement. Luckily, this was your last stop for today. This show was the most fun because Chet brought out all the celebrity guests together. At least you weren't by yourself answering awkward questions.
The other guests were Red Star, the hottest rock band at the moment. They went viral while playing at their local bar. An audience member threw a bottle at their lead singer, Loki and the whole band jumped off stage to fight. They were offered a record deal the same week.
They are known for their wild videos on TikTok. Women everywhere love them. Currently, they are squeezed on the small sofa with you for the interview. Bucky Barnes, their drummer sat on one side of you, his tattoos drew you in like a moth to a flame. You were doing your best to not stare at him the whole time.
The Odinson brothers, Thor and Loki were on the other side. Loki is the lead singer, his long, dark curls and piercing stare made men and women weak in the knees. Thor plays guitar and he is the band's himbo. He's a charmer, flirting with you the whole interview. Steve Rogers is their bassist, an All-American guy to balance the others out. He plays the part well, flashing his megawatt smile at the live audience. But you can tell there is a darker side to him lurking under the surface.
You consider Chet's question; your PR team warned you about questions like this. "Well, I don't really have one." You shrug your shoulders, as the audience begs for a real answer. "Come on, darling. I know you're lying." Loki smirks, reaching his hand over Thor to rub your thigh.
"If I go first, will that help?" Steve asks, being the helpful guy that he is. You nod smiling shyly at him. "Okay, but when it's your turn you have to be honest." He winks at you, and the audience goes wild. He answers one of your costars. You promise to hook them up later. You feel your cheeks heating up, suddenly embarrassed that you have to answer now.
Chet repeats the question, and you bite your lip, pointing beside you to Bucky. "My celebrity crush is actually this guy." Bucky looks ecstatic, high fiving his band members as they congratulate him as if he has won an award. Thor's answer is a pretty pop star who he had been spotted out with twice already.
Loki's celebrity crush is a famous author whose upcoming book features a main male character who looks suspiciously like him. Dating rumors swirled even though there was no proof, except for a few flirty comments between them on Instagram. When it's Bucky's turn he says you, draping his heavily tattooed arm around you. You smile, grateful that he lied to save you from public humiliation. You were sure he was going to say someone who didn't look anything like you.
You're already dreading what the headlines tomorrow had in store. You and Bucky cuddled up on this sofa would no doubt be on every website. You should have lied, you tell yourself. People will start shipping you, his fans would be saying horrible things about you. You should have said anyone else.
Red Star took the stage to close the show. They were playing their latest number one hit. The audience was on their feet, some girls were crying as Loki's sultry voice came over the speakers. You watched Bucky closely. He played the drums like it was his life's purpose. He tossed the drumsticks in the air, pointing to you and winking as he caught them. It was the sexiest thing you had ever seen.
When their set was over, Bucky walked toward the dressing rooms with you, stopping outside yours. "Thanks for saying I was your celebrity crush back there. I would have been so embarrassed if you would have said somebody else." He flips his hair out of his eyes. "You don't have to thank me. It was the truth." You tell him goodbye, feeling awkward about the whole thing. You turn to go inside your dressing room to change into comfy clothes before you go back to the hotel.
Thick fingers catch your wrist, pulling you back toward him. "I wasn't ready to tell you bye." Bucky's lips curl, the light shines on his nose ring, bringing attention to his face. When you look into his shining blue eyes, you realize you don't want him to leave either. You grab the sides of his leather jacket, pulling him toward you. His mouth is on yours instantly. He presses you against your dressing room door, his large body covering yours.
You tangle your fingers in his long locks, needing him closer. Bucky hungrily kisses down your neck, while one hand travels under your dress. He rubs his thumb against your soaked panties. "All this for me?" You whine when he rubs harder, your clit making contact with the silky fabric. You move your hips, lost in the moment.
Voices echo down the hallway, bringing you out of your horny haze. "Bucky" You whisper, trying to warn him so he has time to stop before they see you. "Shh. I got you." He moves his body, so he is blocking you from view. His fingers are relentless, dipping inside your panties. His rough thumb rolls over your clit, you bury your face into his chest.
"Oh my God, It's Bucky! We are huge fans!" A woman's voice comes from behind him. You aren't brave enough to look, so you keep your face hidden. "Thanks guys. I love meeting fans. So, what's your favorite song?" You try to pinch him so he will get rid of them, but he continues talking about the world tour they are about to go on.
He enters you with two fingers, curling them as you moan out loud. The women look around him, finally noticing you. "Is she okay?" The second one asks. "Yeah, she's fine. She just ate too much so she has a stomachache." His fingers caress your inner walls, thumb rubbing in small circles. The band in your belly snaps, arousal flooding his hand as you come apart. Your legs shake, and you hold onto his arm to steady yourself. You clench your teeth to keep from making noise.
"You better get her inside; she can barely stand." One of the women says. They tell you both goodbye, as Bucky leads you inside your dressing room. "You did so good for me, but I need more." You look at him incredulously. He just made you cum the hardest you ever had in your life in front of two strangers and that wasn't enough.
Your legs are still trembling as he lifts you onto the vanity. Your back hits the cool mirror as Bucky slides your panties down your legs. His hot breath tickles your thighs as he lowers his face, pressing kisses to your inner thighs. He takes his time, nipping your sensitive skin. He licks a lazy stripe up your center, avoiding where you need him most. His tongue sinks inside you, firm nose pressing against your clit.
You cry out, head falling back, knocking into the mirror behind you. It bangs against the wall, hard enough to rattle the pictures hung there. Bucky drinks every drop of you, moaning as you writhe against his face. His plump lips fasten around your swollen nub, sucking and tugging like he can't get enough.
Your shaking legs close around his head, trapping him as you ride out your high. You cry his name, not caring who hears you. Bucky lifts you, slamming you against the wall. He holds you with one arm, the other works quickly to bring his pants down. His cock springs free, pink tip leaking. You swallow hard, intimidated by his size. "You're so big." You shiver, anticipation putting you on edge. He holds you, lining your bodies up.
"You can take it." He snaps his hips up, slamming into you. You try to adjust as he stretches you, wiggling around to see if the stinging will go away. When it starts feeling good, your arms wrap around his neck, holding on as he pulls out, leaving the tip in. He thrusts back into you, bottoming out. You have never felt so full, he fills every inch of you. He sets a steady rhythm, every part of him feels like it was made for you. You pulse around him, your back hitting against the wall as he sinks impossibly deeper.
Bucky bunches your dress around your hips, thick fingers digging into your skin as he fucks you. You try to meet his thrusts, but you're too weak from the explosive orgasms he already gave you. You hold onto him as he uses your body, his ragged breath on your neck brings forth the familiar pressure in your lower stomach.
"You're doing so good. Fuck! You take me so well." He praises, moving your thigh higher up his torso. He holds it in place, tilting his hips. The new angle makes your vision blur as he deliciously drags against a place you were sure was a myth until this very moment. Your nails dig into the back of his neck as you shatter around him.
Bucky's thrusts grow brutal, taking what he needs from you. "Oh fuck" He moans as he spills inside you. For a moment, you just look at each other, trying to catch your breaths. Thankfully, he knows you can't stand on your own, so he carries you to the sofa. Your dress is still around your waist, arm over your eyes. You can already feel a dull ache in your stomach where he had been just moments ago.
"Do you mind?" Bucky asks, pointing his phone toward you. You narrow your eyes, not understanding. "You're just so fuckin' hot and I wanna remember this." He says, his meaning finally dawning on you. You nod, almost too tired to speak. He angles his phone camera toward you. "Fucking perfect." He examines the photo he just took before showing you.
Your hair is disheveled, giving you the appearance of being caught in a windstorm. Your cheeks are flushed, eyes blown wide with lust. The top of your dress barely contains your breasts. The bottom is by your hips, your exposed cunt glistening with his cum. Bucky set the picture as his phone's background. You protested because you looked like a mess. Bucky stopped your arguing with a kiss. "You know what you look like?" He asks, smiling wide as he turned his phone screen toward you. "What?" You cross your arms over your chest, suddenly feeling insecure. "Mine."

EWAN MITCHELL INTERVIEWED FOR THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER MAGAZINE.
THAT EPISODE IS GOING TO SATISFY SOME DRAGON-HUNGRY FANS. RHAENYS CERTAINLY MET HER DEMISE, BUT AEGON'S FATE WAS LEFT A LITTLE MORE VAGUE.
"Itās a seismic event thatās changed the future going forward with these characters."
"Aegonās fate remains unknown."
"I donāt want to spoil anything for anyone."
"But going into episode five, you are going to see the fallout of Rookās Rest, which I canāt wait for people to see."
"Itās a massive blow for Team Black."
"The line in the sand has been drawn, and Aemond just crossed that line."
"And thereās no going back. Iām sure there will be retaliation."
WHAT ARE AEMOND'S TRUE MOTIVATIONS IN THIS WAR? IF NOT LOYALTY, WHAT IS IT THAT'S DRIVING HIM?
"I think there are many things that are driving him, but one of them that I loved to play with and explore was this idea that he wants his mum."
"Every time I shared a scene with Olivia Cooke around the council table, every time I looked at Alicent Hightower, I very much imagined Aemond and Alicent sitting on a Dornish beach, far from war, sipping on piƱa coladas [...]"
"Aemond having become the war hero and managing to make his mum happy, in his eye, so to speak."
"Whether or not thatās Alicentās version of happiness is another thing."
"But thatās how Aemond sees it. So I think thatās one of his is driving motivations."
"Also, what Alicent does in episode seven of season one, thatās something that Aemond doesnāt forget."
"When theyāre all arguing about where Aemond had heard this illegitimate [child of Harwin] Strong [rumor] from, Alicent went back to the idea that this kid had been physically damaged and changed for life."
"She was the only voice that was backing him up in that moment."
WHO DOES AEMOND BELIEVE BELONGS ON THE IRON THRONE?
"You donāt necessarily know what is going on behind Aemondās eye."
"Heās a very calculative person."
"Heās not just your one-dimensional black cat and mindless sociopath kind of character."
"He is thinking at all times."
"You see that in the first four episodes ā in so much of them he operates from the peripheries."
"But, does he even want the throne? (Shrugs)"
HAS HE FALLEN VICTIM TO THE "HEIR AND THE SPARE" RESENTMENT, LIKE DAEMON?
"He feels that Aegon lacks the perseverance to be king."
"Aegon says it himself: He has no wish to rule."
"Whereas Aemond, heās been studying with the masters."
"Heās been training with the sword, so he very much feels like he would make a worthier king, whether or not thatās what Aemond wants."
DOES DAEMON SEE HIMSELF IN AEMOND?
"Thatās a good question."
"I donāt know if I could answer it."
"Maybe itās one for Matt [Smith, who plays Daemon]"
"But I think a part of Aemond would wish that Daemon saw Aemond in himself."
"Thereās so much of his image that lends itself to that idea that Aemond is very much paying homage to a young Daemon Targaryen, with the Targaryen black and the long hair."
"Itās very reminiscent of the rogue prince. Aemond being Daemonās biggest stan, he would definitely want to live in Daemonās head rent-free."
DO YOU THINK SEEING AEMOND IN A MORE VULNERABLE LIGHT SOMEHOW MAKES HIM MORE FRIGHTENING? IT'S LIKE THE PERSONAL VENDETTA ā WHETHER IT'S AGAINST HIS BROTHER AEGON, RHAENYRA OR ANYONE ELSE ā BECOMES A LITTLE SHARPER.
"I very much wanted to portray the image of someone who had manufactured their body into a lethal weapon."
"This kid doesnāt need armor. He doesnāt need to be brandishing a Valyrian steel sword to appear like he could ultimately end those charactersā lives in those moments."
"Thereās something powerful in that regard. Me and Geeta Patel, we always talked about the possibility, up to that scene, of maybe Aemond wrapping a blanket around himself as he was leaving, or maybe using his hands to cover himself as he was leaving."
"But we were very-like minded in the respect that this is a character who does not care what you think about him."
"And that carelessness, itās quite scary."
"Talking about that code coming into place, he cannot be seen as weak at all costs."
"Love in Aemondās world is seen as a weakness."
"And so he has to put duty above that."
"He puts strength above that."
WOULD AEMOND BE IN THE SAME DANGER THAT HE IS WITHOUT VHAGAR?
"Probably not."
"He recognizes that heās a young man who possesses a power that no one else has in Vhagar."
"He can do things that no one else can do, and she very much shapes the dynamic of any room that he walks into."
"He doesnāt need to be anything, because her shadow looms so large behind him."
"And so if heās being threatening, itās not because he needs to be ā itās because he wants to be."
IS IT WEIRD TO SEE SO MANY FANS CRUSHINT ON YOUR CHARACTER? THEY HAVE BEEN DEBATING WHO IS MORE 'BABYGIRL': DAEMON OR AEMOND.
"I havenāt got social media, so I donāt see it. But one of the results of not having social media is that it produces these beautiful, badass, fun letters from people from all across the globe."
"To read that, I take it all as motivation, whether weāve had a good reaction or a negative reaction."
"I never take it for granted."
"But is Aemond babygirl? I donāt know."
"Itās a dilemma. Whatās the definition of a babygirl?"
I THINK IT'S AN ATTRACTIVE CHARACTER THAT PEOPLE TAKE PITY ON A LITTLE BIT. SENSIBLE, A BIT VULNERABLE. MAYBE THEY THINK HIS HEART'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
"Like maybe there is good underneath it all."
"Iāll take the compliment."
WHAT'S TO COME FROM AEMOND THIS SEASON?
"I donāt want to spoil it, but itās going to be good."
WOULD YOU SWITCH TO TEAM BLACK?
"No, no ā Iād want to stay on Team Green."
WHAT'S TO COME FROM EWAN MITCHELL? HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING IN THE PIPELINE THAT YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT?
"Nothing is set in stone yet."
"Iām down to the last few for something that I really want and Iām not going to say what it is because as soon as I do, I wonāt get it."
"[Iām up for] any challenge, any character."
"I love horror, horror is definitely a genre Iād love to venture into."

cross posting yesterday's rambling thread for posterity and because tumblr lets me edit things. anyway this is a sorta long thing and i might add things i forgot to mention in the twt thread
i tend to draw on-model canon because im a coward + just personal preferences. but the way i convert the canon designs into my artstyle is that i take the distinct features oda gives them and then combine it with personal headcanons to complete what should look like a unique human. Starting with Trafalgar Law, who is unfortunately a bland-ass conventionally pretty boy
someone commented a while ago the law hat drawing tutorial i made a while ago didn't make much sense and i realize its bc of the specific way i draw law's face: heart shaped (ba-dum-tss). That meaning, a narrow chin widening into a mild defined jaw, wide cheekbones, and up to his know-it-all brain dome.
given that, the pudgy guitar pick shape of his head i mentioned here should make a lot more sense.
i don't think this design point is unique to me, as most conventional pretty anime boy gets given jaws like this. a lot of law artists tend to veer into this head shape. just how life be sometimes. other points: flat, thick eyebrows is bc im a hairy gal and i need to feel better about myself.
Killer gets to be more interesting, because he shouldn't be considered conventionally attractive. my idea behind killer's is that those individual features is smth he would be insecure with enough to hide himself in a helmet but i draw him with all the love in the world actually. i'd like to think its how kid sees him or yknow, law, bc he's my kin assigned blorbo and maybe you ship lawkill as a guilty pleasure too i mentioned before (and ruined people's days) when i said whenever i draw killer he looks like griffith before i put on his goatee. the upper half of his face is distinctly feminine, with the lower half kinda over compensating. other than that uhh...idk. stan killer
Kidd is the bane of my existence, i feel like i can never draw his face consistently. yet at the same time he's so damn fun to draw everyone gotta try it.
my problem with kidd is that this mf does have eyelids. most kidd painters out there interpret this as him having deep set eyes (think Matt Smith or jeffrey star) . and yeh skill issue on me i should practice that. other notes, i try to make him younger than canon makes him look. he is my babygirl and he deserves to look cuddly. my band au kidd version has the honor of being allowed some chubs. he's just tries to look older and more menacing with edgy makeup. also i try to give him dimples when i can because, well i can.
Rosinante last bc i lost steam after kidd. the thing abt cora is that aside from not having eyebrows, everything is structured with the generic one piece man template. which means i gotta do everything myself doffy is there bc the way to figure out how to draw these two is to give them minor differences from each other, that being doffy gets slightly sharper features. in canon, these two are also rly wide boys (more of an oda style feat tbh) but i make them long. though bigger brained donquixote artists know that of these two brothers, doffy should be the wiry-er built. anyway that's it. in conclusion, i need to draw more girls actually i feel like im becoming misogynistic by osmosis from oda's style and now i draw girls all looking the same too.
#one piece#trafalgar law#eustass kid#eustass kidd#op killer#massacre soldier killer#donquixote rosinante#donquixote corazon#donquixote doflamingo#was gonna do robin and perona too at least but like...i have a job and stuff

Question for Jon stans: so I think a lot of us expect Jon to leave the watch at some point in his story, whether in Winds or sometime in Dream. I tend to think heās going to straight up desert the Watch, like going āfuck it Iām done hereā much like Bloodraven and Mance, instead of leaving on a technicality (i.e., a āheās dead so heās technically done his serviceā type of thing).Ā
BUT the question is, does he go north or does he go south? I think itās reasonable to assume either direction works narratively.
We have this:
Lannister studied his face. āYes,ā he said. āI can see it. You have more of the north in you than your brothers.ā
Plus heās been set up to parallel Bloodraven and Mance both of whom go north, and thereās this quote from AGOT thatĀ couldĀ be foreshadowing:
Far off to the north, a wolf began to howl. Another voice picked up the call, then another. Ghost cocked his head and listened. āIf he doesnāt come back,ā Jon Snow promised, āGhost and I will go find him.ā He put his hand on the direwolfās head.
āI believe you,ā Tyrion said, but what he thought was, And who will go find you? He shivered.
(Tyrion III)
Thereās also symbolism in him embracing the name āSnowā and living in the snowy northā¦.
But then we these quotes from AGOT as well thatās essentially about him finding the Wall to be stifling and equating freedom with the south:
āYes. Cold and hard and mean, thatās the Wall, and the men who walk it. Not like the stories your wet nurse told you. Well, piss on the stories and piss on your wet nurse. This is the way it is, and youāre here for life, same as the rest of us.ā
āLife,ā Jon repeated bitterly. The armorer could talk about life. Heād had one. Heād only taken the black after heād lost an arm at the siege of Stormās End. Before that heād smithed for Stannis Baratheon, the kingās brother. Heād seen the Seven Kingdoms from one end to the other; heād feasted and wenched and fought in a hundred battles. They said it was Donal Noye whoād forged King Robertās warhammer, the one that crushed the life from Rhaegar Targaryen on the Trident. Heād done all the things that Jon would never do, and then when he was old, well past thirty, heād taken a glancing blow from an axe and the wound had festered until the whole arm had to come off. Only then, crippled, had Donal Noye come to the Wall, when his life was all but over.
(Jon III)
He had no destination in mind. He wanted only to ride. He followed the creek for a time, listening to the icy trickle of water over rock, then cut across the fields to the kingsroad. It stretched out before him, narrow and stony and pocked with weeds, a road of no particular promise, yet the sight of it filled Jon Snow with a vast longing. Winterfell was down that road, and beyond it Riverrun and Kingās Landing and the Eyrie and so many other places; Casterly Rock, the Isles of Faces, the red mountains of Dorne, the hundred islands of Braavos in the sea, the smoking ruins of old Valyria. All the places that Jon would never see. The world was down that road ā¦ and he was here.
(Jon V)
And if Jon is to live his best wildling/crow-deserter life, itāll be about finding freedom - just like Mance.
Plus thereās the whole thing with him seeing three different trees whichĀ couldĀ serve as representing his arc in the series, and the final tree faces southā¦Ā
Just north of Moleās Town they came upon the third watcher, carved into the huge oak that marked the village perimeter, its deep eyes fixed upon the kingsroad. That is not a friendly face, Jon Snow reflected. The faces that the First Men and the children of the forest had carved into the weirwoods in eons past had stern or savage visages more oft than not, but the great oak looked especially angry, as if it were about to tear its roots from the earth and come roaring after them. Its wounds are as fresh as the wounds of the men who carved it.
(Jon V, ADWD)Ā
So which one is it?
Also if you think he goes south, where does he end up? šĀ
#Iāve always been a jon deserts and goes north truther - but thatās also because Iām a jon will be king of winter truther#not in a ruling sense but more of a mythical combination of wildling king (mance) and god (bloodraven)#but I just saw a really interesting meta about how going south is more thematically resonant soooo š#yes this is assuming jon lives at the end which I think he absolutely does#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#jon snow

You know what I think...
It's time we start talking about Peter Capaldi.
When we talk about Doctor Who and our favourite modern doctors, we always go round and round in the same circles:
"David Tennant is the greatest Doctor!"
"No way! Matt Smith brought this goofy nature to the character, while maintaining the Doctor's eternal darkness!"
"Please! Nine was funny and sassy and just overall great. He deserved more credit. Eccelston was the best Doctor!"
And sometimes even a:
"I think that although she had to endure poor writing, a female Doctor was refreshing!"
I agree with this of course, and every Doctor brings something with them, you know who we don't post enough about? Or even generally talk about enough?
Peter fucking Capaldi. I seriously think he might be one of the most underrated Doctors of the modern era and It's a WASTE.
From the very beginning he was just amazing. "Do you know how to fly this thing?" ICONIC. His first episode was pure crack in the very best way. (The way he flirted with the dinosaur, anybody?)
Capaldi had this amazing connection with Jenna as Clara (Although I am a Clara stan idc so I might be a little biased about that) and their dynamic was so much fun to watch.
Not unlike David Tennant Peter is such a fan of the show. (As was confirmed by Jenna) But is also nice about it too. He doesn't go around just correcting everyone, but he wants everyone to know what an amazing show it is and wants people to love it just as much as he does.
Also 12 was so iconic??? Fighting fucking Robin Hood with a spoon? Awesome! Rolling into the middle ages on a fucking tank, calling people "Dude", making puns and dumb jokes and above else SLAYING that guitar?! Yes! A thousands times Yes! Just the best space grandpa ever!
Capaldi is so unhinged and has this chaotic energy while still appearing as the sanest person in the room. Just look up some stories about him fucking around on the set.
It was also very refreshing to see an older Doctor. I mean, I think Capaldi wad the oldest guy to play the Doctor since HARTNELL. He still had this youthful energy, but he just seemed so DONE with everyones bullshit. 12 handled things with a certain maturity that I kinda loved.
Like he has life experience, he KNOWS what his actions will cause and that's GOOD to see of the Doctor. And at the same time he's also forgiving himself for all the things he's done, which is even BETTER.
And don't even talk to me about his relationship with his companions and Missy. First of all the latter gives me life. And his relationship with Bill was so good y'all. I mean, he punched a racist in the face for her. (ICON!!!!) And were just adorable.
And my final point, the biggest point: Peter Capaldi is just an AMAZING actor. We all love "Heaven sent" and It's just the greatest episode EVER and this is party because Moffat wrote it so beautifully, but also because of Capaldi's Jaw dropping performance!!! If he wasn't SUCH an amazing actor the episode would have never worked. And I am certain of this fact. He did that y'all! HE. DID. THAT.
Capaldi gave some of the best speeches and performances in Doctor Who history. And everyone sleeps on it, and I say "No more!" Also his line. "Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?" DONE, SOBBING ON THE DAMN FLOOR. I need to say with this that I'm NOT an emotional person at all. But somehow that line hit me right in the feels and never stopped.
So yeah
Eccelston was hilarious and fun and amazing
David was awesome and I think It's definitely deserved that he goes down in history as one of the greatest Doctors.
Matt had some heartwrenging moments that I'll never get over, was as cool as bowties and just lovely
And Jody was unique and ADORABLE!
But y'all are SLEEPING on Peter Capaldi and 12 and that is SO undeserved.
Mister Capaldi Sir, if you ever see this, (You probably won't, but that's okay. I hope it does though) just know, that I love and adore you so much and think you are one of the greatest actors and human beings in the history of everything. And you DESERVE to know that. I will forever be proud to say that 12 that is my favourite Doctor of all time. And I say this without half a doubt in my mind. I'm a proud Peter Capaldi stan until the end of time. And just know that I and so many more people along with me have so much LOVE for you. (Most of us not in a creepy way though) and you are CRIMINALLY underrated.
Thank you so much for reading my rant.
This has been a Peter Capaldi/12th Doctor appreciation post. And I invite you to reblog this and show your love for the best Doctor. Only positivity though, stay nice.

I know Team Green hates Daemon, and I agree there are 172838 reasons for him to be hated. But Nettles is one of the only things that make him somewhat likable because even though the green side keeps going on and on about the grooming, letās be real: the public wouldnāt care as long as Matt Smith had chemistry with the other actress. People didnāt care even when his scenes with young rhaneyra were framed as grooming.
And Iām sorry, a lot of yāall takes is always framed through the lenses of āhow can I make Daemon look even worse than the scumbag he isā which fair, but then donāt pretend Nettles is in the center of those thoughts because sheās not. If she was, the first point in any meta would be to determine that Rhaenyra is the true villain of Nettles story and just because Rhaenyra was a victim of Daemon, that doesnāt make her worthy of being āsisters in painā with Nettles when 1) Rhaenyra was racist against her and 2) Daemon was the one to actually save nettles; if it was up to Rhaenyra, Nettles would be another head decorating the gates of the red keep. Itās hard to take any of those metas seriously when yāall weaponize Nettles arc against Daemon and use her just the same as Team Black does, just for a different purpose. Itās still all about victimizing Rhaenyra, and Nettles is just an means to an end. So in the end, are yāall that much different from Team Black or Rhaenyra stans when it comes to Nettles?
George loves daemon; he never wrote his arc with nettles as a commentary on his pedo tendencies. He wrote that arc in spite of his pedo tendencies. He wrote that arc as a way to show ālook, Daemon killed a bunch of people, groomed a few others, did terrible things his entire life and is cheating on his queen with a way too young girl, but look how cool and badass she is and how much she suffered in her life, and this time around Daemon really likes this girl and is willing to do selfless acts for her and protect her, a lowborn girl nobody else cares about, so here, heās light too, see how gray and complex he is?ā. And the truth is that public would eat that up because even with Daemon choking Rhaenyra, killing his ex wife, laughing at his second wifeās funeral and ignoring his third wife screams while she gives birth to a demon baby, he still has tons of people who think heās awesome. Thatās just the reality of it. Now, we can argue about the problematics of the storyline, we can argue about how George wants Daemon to get away scot-free, all of this are valid points and tbh I agree with many. But it doesnāt change the story.
I canāt actually engage with team green discourse when it comes to Nettles because yāall donāt see her as a character of her own. If yāall did, yāall would see sheās way more interesting than Rhaenyra and Daemon combined. That her arc is so much more than her relationship with either of them. That she disrupts the status quo, she comes bringing with her a pletora of questions about what it means to be a dragon rider, what it means to have dragon blood. She brings the perspective of the small folk, of the ones forgotten and not cared about when the royals are destroying each other. She survives. She becomes a legend. She is sooo much more than all of this.
The reason why I want Nettles in the show has nothing to do with Daemon, Rhaenyra and whatever takes yāall have on that relationship when it comes to them both. Nettles is not the ānew Rhaenyraā, she has nothing to with that character. Sheās not a folder to her story, sheās doesnāt exist solely to prove a point or to be used as a weapon to help in her victimhood. Rhaenyra is not the ānew Rhea Royceā. Rhaenyra is Rhaenyra, a victim of Daemon as much as a villain in Nettles story. Nettles character doesnāt exist solely to villainize or whitewash Daemon, or to play a role in his story as a folder of his previous relationships. Sheās her own character, with her own arc, with her own importance, with her own role, with her own message. Her romance is her own. Her importance is her own. The sacrifices made in her name were made because she was worthy of them. Stop using her just to make your point when the point you want to make is not about her, you are not sounding any better than the ones who dismiss her as just Daemonās bastard or want her cut off entirely from the show. Your noise is sounding very similar to theirs if Iām being honest.

What are your favourite Jonahās projects? āŗļøš¬
~ plays TikTok Sound~
OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS QUESTIOOOONNN
So since May 2023 (what happened there? I have no idea š) I've watched everything Jonah-related I could get my hands on (except for Little Women, but I'm definetly going to watch that later this year).
My top 3 Jonah projects OTHER than The Little Mermaid (because truth be told, I think it's pretty clear how obsessed I am with that movie and it's not really a fair comparison to some of the more indepent, even low budget projects Jonah has starred in) so far:
1. World on Fire (2019 - 2023)
youtube
created by: Peter Bowker directed by: Chanya Button, Thomas Napper, Adam Smith, Andy Wilson Jonah plays: Harry Chase
Big shocker, right? Given how much I already rambled about Harry and Kasia (my traumatised parents) and how upset I was when they cancelled it. I will always mourn this show for the huge potential it had.
World on Fire is a BBC-show following different people in Britain, Poland, Germany and France (with some American viewpoints as well) as they have to endure and navigate their life through World War II. Doesnt really sound like anything we haven't seen, right? However, World on Fire is worth checking out imo, since it differs a lot from the usual Hollywood-infused war epics, because rather than focusing on the politics or the big battles, the show looks more closely at the everyday person that actually had to live through this tragedy and how they deal with what's happening. That being said, obviously this is still a show about WW II, so there definitely IS depiction of violence, murder and torture, as well as bombings, gunfire etc., so please be careful if you find any of those things triggering. I personally found some episodes quite hard to get through.
I think it's interesting that Jonah's filmography is very heavy on projects set during or related to WW II (additionally to WoF you have The Song of Names, Ashes in the Snow and ofc coming up The Tattooist of Auschwitz). Theories on why that is are welcome!
Harry Chase (brilliantly brought to life by our favourite British simp) differs quite a bit from many of Jonah's other roles in that he`s not your heroic, clean-cut good guy (like Andrius, Lucas, Mo or Prince Eric). He's insecure and a little helpless, even cowardly at times. Harry starts out as a translator, but later joins the British Army and the SOE. He fucks up repeatedly, both in his role as lieutenant, as well as in his personal life. Even though most of the time he means well, his cowardice ends up hurting a lot of people and leads him to be in the middle of a love triangle. (Though to me it's not a triangle, but rather a straight line, Team Kasia all the way.)
Harry, though deeply troubled, is a very kind and soft soul. That doesn't really pair well with the acts of war, as well as british society in the 1940s in general, which leads to conflict with other characters and their idea of who he should be. Especially when he clashes with his mother Robina (portrayed by the absolute MAGNIFICENT Lesley Manville, shes giving Emily Gilmore in the best way possible), Jonahs acting is ON POINT. His performance is so nuanced: He's angry, he's desperate, he's sad, but also condescending, sarcastic and hostile towards her. The interesting thing about Harry is the journey he takes. To watch him try to better himself by dealing with past trauma and taking responsibility for present mistakes. The real standout for his character is episode 5 of season 1 where he finally steps up and takes charge. This is also when he starts earning the respect of his sergeant Stan (Blake Harrison) for the first time - they have a real bromance, both on and off the show, I LIVE for these two.
But - just like in real life - he doesn't have this one breakthrough moment and everything is smooth sailing from there. He fluctuates, just like a real person would. He still has the tendency to run away from his problems, but I think what he's seen in the war, what happened at home and (yes, I'm making this about my ship) his love for Kasia (Zofia Wichlacz) make him realise the type of man he wants to be and he would probably try to act accordingly IF WE GOT A THIRD SEASON, BBC! š¤š”š¤¬
2. Old Boys (2018)
youtube
directed by: Toby MacDonald Jonah plays: Henry "Winch" Winchester
If you can only watch one Jonah movie, I beg of you MAKE IT THIS ONE!
I`ve found next to nothing about Old Boys and that seriously has to change. (watched the entire movie again, getting my non-existing gif-making skills ready, just the night before I got this ask, talk about fate)
This movie is so underrated, it doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. Make it make sense! How is nobody watching this cutie-patootie work of art? Its adorkable in the best sense of the word, it's heartwarming, a little silly and oh! so funny!
It's losely based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, set in an all-boys british boarding school in the 1980s. Given the source material, catfishing is definetly a thing here, keep that in mind if you might find that topic difficult.
Alex Lawther's character Amberson (clichĆ© school nerd and victim of bullying) falls in love with the new french teachers daughter Agnes (Pauline Etienne) who in turn has a crush on First-Class-Himbo Winch (portrayed by a beautiful, dimple-faced, british actor). Because Agnes is very artistic and looking for someone that matches her vibe, Amberson helps Winch to try to impress her, because Winch himself is... well... a little dim š
.
Winch is easily my favourite Jonah character to date (yes, including Prince Eric). I have seriously considered changing my tumblr-name to themightywinch because of him. I mean... he's corteous and punctual, after all š¤£š.
While not the main character, he's definetly the highlight of the movie. Jonah is likeable, charming, the right kind of awkward in the right moments, has fantastic comedic timing and great chemistry with Alex Lawther.
Just look at that scene alone! IT`S. SO. CUTE!!! (cute-raging over here š”) Watching this just makes you wish Jonah would star in more comedies, because he definetly has the skills for it! This is just a feel-good movie that leaves you smiling with a warm, fuzzy feeling in your heart. It has easily become one of my new comfort watches. Old Boys just never fails to make me laugh and I wish it would get more attention and recognition since it definetly deserves it! (like at least write a Wikipedia article about it) Btw, I bought this on Prime for 99ct, best money I ever spend!
3. The Last Photograph (2017)
youtube
(the trailer says 2019, but the movie was originally shown at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2017)
directed by: Danny Huston Jonah plays: Luke Hammond
Fair warning, this movie is gut-wrenching. I don't know if this qualifies as an actual trigger-warning, but this movie deals with the loss of a child/ death of a young person, as well as the real life tragedy of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombed in 1988 so proceed with caution.
Luke Hammond (Dimples McGee) is on said flight to visit his long-distance girlfriend Kate (Stacy Martin) in New York. Kate's and Luke's first meeting is a little awkward imo, I think it's meant to be like a meet-cute, especially with the whole "Bird"-thing, it just doesn't really work for me. But the rest of their love story is very endearing, they're just two young people experiencing love for the first time. Their time together is told through seemingly random, incoherent flashbacks and memories, just giving little glimpses of what their relationship was like and it's the cutest thing. Little intimate touches, hidden smiles, shared laughter... It's shot in a way as if you're watching them through rose-colored glasses, which is probably the point.
I love the way this movie uses different lighting and colour changes to depict a difference in the time line as well as the emotional state of the characters.
We only see Luke in flashbacks (guess why) and follow his dad Tom (Danny Huston) in present day (which in this case means 2003) as he is desperately trying to retrieve the last photograph (hence the titel) he possesses of his son after his bag was stolen. To see Tom slowly losing his grip as he grows more and more desperate to find the picture is truely heartbreaking. (It's a polaroid, so there are no copies, this is truely the last memory he has of Luke. God, I'm tearing up while writing this.)
Because Luke is basically just seen through the memory of his father who obviously holds him in high regard/ romanticizes the idea of his son, he is portrayed in a solely positive light, which usually wouldn't give much dimension to his character. Yet Jonah still manages to fill this role with life and witt and charisma, making you understand why Bird fell for him. He's sweet, romantic, a little bit shy, which works really well here, has the cutest laugh and clearly cares really deeply for his father. He's definetly portrayed as the "you simply have to love him" kinda guy, which is why his absence cuts so deep.
This is also in huge parts due to Danny Huston's performance. Honestly, the sweater-scenes (or jumper, if you're british š) almost broke me. And don't even get me started on his letter to Kate or Kate's letter to him... ugh. It's. So. SAD.
This is obviously not for everyday watch. However, even though The Last Photograph is heartbreaking, it doesn't necessarily leave you hopeless and depressed. This movie feels like a loving tribute to an actual person and therefore has a beauty in its melancholy. Throughout Tom's journey there is hope and forgiveness towards himself. There's a beautiful symmetry to the whole thing. The ending feels almost satisfying if you can say that in this context.
I also wanna give a shoutout to This Is The Night (2021). The movie itself isn't that great, it's a little all over the place and I think they tried to do a little too much all at once. But I looo~oooved Jonah in this, Christians character arc is by far the most interesting one and I wish the script gave their character justice in the way Jonah's and Naomi's acting did. (Also this is the HOTTEST he's ever looked which is a bit ironic).
This list is probably going to be outdated soon, since he has a lot coming out in the near future (I'm especially excited for Rich Flu).
Sorry, if this is too long and rambly and if it took too long for me to answer, I got a little carried away and suddenly had a lot of gifs to make š
.
Thank you soooo much for the ask, @measuredmotion ā¤ļø.

sorry but I really need to clarify this bc I saw so many people are misinterpreting or they like to misinterpret comment idkš
See I am not saying you need to like every single thing what your favourite is doing. That's stupidity to me. I would never do that in my life. But yeah one can share their thoughts regarding anything but.....in a respectful way. If I don't like something about Ewan I would share it & if I love something for Ewan I would share that. This is how it works
I hope you all understand that Ewan is grown ass guy in his 20's & we don't need to defend any silly thing done by him. He can do whatever he wants, same I hope you understand that he is not a child who needs to be protected whole time ,who is being forced to wear all those by his stylist.
Ofcourse stylist is doing his work whether it's good or bad that's different thing but Ewan is the one who is allowing him and it is Ewan's choice.
When I am saying that I don't like some of Ewan's wear and he needs to do better in terms of stylist n styling doesn't mean and never meant that he is forced at gun point to perform all those shitsš. ( I can't believe this has to be said pls)
I hope there are not people who troll davey cz of this as it's very much normal in Stans I have seen of other actors and it's not davey's fault at all n it's how he styles. It is Ewan's work too, he is responsible for himself.
I am surprised that when I just commented on some of his dressing style there were many people misinterpreting things like he is being forced to. No buddy ! Tbh it's very very much normal in Hollywood š
It's my personal preference that I find Ewan much more fine in simply the way he is rather than over doing.
Also I know why some Stans get annoyed on anything about their favourite because alot of people or I would say haters troll or slander the actors disrespectfully on any small things specially the way I have seen this in hotd regarding matt smith, Tom glynn and Ewan alot. So I know why some people instantly get angry but please read the things clearly first before doing any mismatch of statements.
And also people should be allowed to say anything about the actor but in a respectful way. No one should be like oh he is like that nope our relationship with Ewan is completely professional. He is a good actor without any bad background. That's the thing we know about him. That's it
Beside I love my boy. You guys might know him from Hotd, I adored him since TLK and I am really happy for him and really really love him as an actor and whatever he's doing for Aemond n even if he is worst dressed guy I would still love him alotš.
And really really important is that pls don't comment on someone's sexuality when you don't know the person just on the basis of dressing. Joking is something else but many people takes these dressing things whole different levels in serious way.

a/n: it's literally midnight. i need to be up at 5am tomorrow. i'm writing about south park on tumblr.
synopsis: just headcanons of sp kids! their little quirks and habits and stuff
oh also aged up
...
ā ā§ e. cartman
has all of the really good snacks in his pantry
had a phase where he really wanted to be a garbage truck driver as a kid
listens to ariana grande and lady gaga
sings his heart out in the shower
refuses to admit it if you ever overheard him
weirdly sharp canines it makes him look like an evil little rodent
allergic to picking up after himself. there's literally a trail of shoes all the way up to his bedroom
never takes stuff out of his pockets before his mom washes his clothes but then gets pissed when his earbuds and stuff go through the wash
smells like baby soap
bites his pencils and they look horrendous
one time kenny asked to borrow a pencil and he threw it back almost immediately after feeling the bumpy chewed-up wood
thinks that menstrual products shouldn't be free because "can't they just hold it in??"
kyle will fight him about it
loves chocolate milk to death
ā ā§ k. mccormick
gappy teeth
but it looks cute on him
likes cds even though he doesn't have a cd player
always packs his lunch in the morning and karen's
there's little holes on the insides of his pockets and he has a habit of sticking his fingers through them and wiggling them without realizing
which make the holes bigger
keeps a porn magazine in his school backpack and leafs through it on the bus or in the library as if he's casually reading the news
sex jokes just SLIP out. he doesn't even think before he makes a sex joke.
his backpack is a mess and he uses the little pockets to store trash and edible wrappers and crumbs
has a disposable somewhere that he hits in the middle of class
kyle gives him a disapproving look when he stumbles into class high as balls
street smart but doesn't know how to do long division
favorite food is chicken nuggets with ranch
loves ranch (i fucking love ranch fight me)
will let you paint his nails
probably listens to tiktok music like mitski and radiohead and shit
also the smiths
ā ā§ k. broflovski
4.0 gpa all the way until that one A- in pe. junior year that dropped it to a 3.9
cried about it and sulked for weeks
stan almost left him because he got so sick of it (rockin that 2.9)
"dude it's not that big of a deal"
"MY LIFE IS OVER STAN YOU DONT GET IT"
keeps really organized notes- not just for him, but for the sake of his friends who take shitty notes
he has freckles idc if they said he's a daywalker HE HAS FRECKLES.
has a 10-step hair care routine every night
spends longer in the bathroom doing his hair care thing than his mother
spends 30 minutes every day watching tv with ike no matter what
gets violently competetive over kahoot
listens to the cure and elliot smith
keeps a different notebook for each class
ā ā§ s. marsh
always has at least one earbud in
sometimes when there's a lot on his mind, he gets very easily distracted
will step in the shower with his socks still on by accident
has a little crush on kyle (sorry style brainrot....)
used to read a lot as a kid, not really much anymore
unconciously messes with little papers or napkins in his pcokets and tears them to bits
gets like no sleep ever because he can't ever get off his phone or whatever he's doing long enough to try and get some sleep
still gets nauseous whenever he's near someone he has a crush on
terrible at articulating himself through text
if you want to show him a video or post, you would have to show him irl because he won't see the tag.
smoked weed once and decided it was overrated, but will sometimes get high if kenny asks or something.
loves vanilla flavored things even though it's basic
constantly has random change and wads of cash in his backpack because he's too lazy to stuff his things back into his wallet

it's so funny seeing western mass posting on my dash... i'm a current smith student and i see that bus every day! the valley is really lovely but i definitely could not live here without a car. we stan northampton though it's really cute
Oh awesome! Smith has a gorgeous campus; I'm glad you're liking it. I'm a UMass Amherst alumna myself.
I managed fine without a car, but I'm also aware that college is different from adult life. I lived on campus all four years, so I had everything I needed right there- food, living space, and the occupation that took up most of my time (ie classes). Relying on transit to get you to work every day is different from using it to go Christmas shopping with friends or similar.
Well, we shall see what we shall see.
#ask#anon#western mass#to be clear I can drive- I have a license -but I hate it and haven't done it in a long time#the Scare 'Em Straight videos about drunk and distracted driving were too effective and I've been terrified to drive since high school

I think so fondly about Jackson being a crossdresser. Just because he comes across as this tough guy but I feel like he has a really sweet side to him where he likes to wear heels and dresses and makeup. So I'm gonna give y'all some headcanons on how that came to be and some of his friends reactions to seeing him for the first time.
- The first time Storm ever wore heels it was a joke. He was out with some aqquantences and they went to the mall.
- He was dared to try on heels and when he dod, they made him feel powerful.
- He went home and was questioning things a lot, he knew he was gay, but this was much different from that.
- Fast forward a couple of months and it's June. Pride Month. He ended up going out to a pride parade, and he met some drag queens.
- He fell in love.
- He thought they were gorgeous, stunning, and beautiful. He wanted to be like that.
- He kept his cross dressing a secret for a pretty long time because of his father's reaction (I'll post headcanons about his father if anyone's interested!)
People's reactions
His Father:
The first person he showed was his father, hence why he hides it and only shows it to a few trusting people.
His father was pissed, yelled at him and told him to take it off. Said it was bad enough that he was gay, he didn't need to be dressing like a girl either.
Ray and Gale:
The next two people he showed was Ray and Gale, he trusted them the most out of everyone he's ever known.
They thought he was stunning. Gale almost cried. And Ray just gave him a proud papa smile. They both hugged him and thanked him for being comfortable enough with showing that side of himself.
To me I viewed it as a very heartwarming and key memory of Storms life.
Lightning:
Since in my AU Lightning is his partner, I headcanoned that it took a little while for Storm to really say anything.
When they'd go on dates Storm would wear something casual or a suit, but one night he felt confident and comfortable enough.
It was there 1 year anniversary.
Storm had been taking a while and Lightning was waiting for him patiently.
Finally, once Storm came out, Lightning was in AWE. The first words to come out of his mouth were "you're beautiful".
As for others? Some of the next-gens were dicks, others were pretty open to him.
And Cruz was just happy that he was able to open up to people for once.
Chick ended up saying the wrong thing on his talk show about it and Lightning Will Smithed him the next day.
But those are just some of the many hcs I have, I keep coming up with more and its taking over my brain ngl.
BUT if any of y'all wanna hear about Stan Storm (his father) let me know!!

Why is it always Daemon stans... Why are they talking about a moral high ground
how do you think i feel... first time in my life i can't stan for matt smith. and i genuinely love his performance, all the acting choices he's made for daemon, his stupid wigs etc...
i have no one to fangirl over him with bc daemon stans tend to have the most deranged takes so i have to leave him all alone with the loonies
green matt smith fans show yourselves you have an ally in me
#talk about having a super specific niche huh#ask#anon#anti daemon targaryen#matt smith#let's write fics making him defect to piss off team black
