#the sass is strong in this one hahahaha

[aerequets]

can you give me some webtoon recommendations? name some of your favorites! :)

i am here to answer folks 😎

all of these webtoons can be found on webtoons.com! I'm not sure about the whole daily pass thing they've got going on (which sucks tbh) but like,,, you could probably find it online illegally. NOT THAT I CONDONE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY HAHAHAHA ᵖˢˢᵗ ⁱᶠ ʸᵒᵘ ��ᵒᵒᵏ ⁱᵗ'ˢ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ

I'll split these up between completed and in progress :) most are still in progress though

COMPLETED

1) Gourmet Hound (166 chapters)

this is like, my all time favorite webtoon. it follows Lucy and her quest to find all the chefs that left her favorite restaurant, Dimanche! it’s a really heartfelt story and the food illustrations make you really hungry, so make sure you have a snack before you sit down to read it. each character’s name is also food-related, so that’s pretty cool too! and the diversity in this webtoon is AMAZING. it’s the only webtoon i’ve ever read that has a hijabi character in the main cast. the development is done really well and it explores themes of loving and letting go. all in all, it has a bit of everything. i personally love food-related things, and this centers around it, so i was set LOL

(also a bonus is that this webtoon has NOT succumbed to daily pass hell, so you can binge read the whole thing. legally.)

2) Hooky (200 chapters)

if you like stories of witches, this is the one! the summary and beginning chapters are deceptively lighthearted. DO NOT BE FOOLED! the story really develops further on and explores numerous conflicts, a big one being (if i remember correctly) witch vs. nonwitch. if you like to see struggles between two sides, not a good-and-evil but just people-who-want-the-best-for-themselves-and-their-loved-ones type of thing, this is good for that. also, sibling love! the two main characters are Dani and Dorian, and while there is someee romance, i like how this story centers around the siblings first and foremost. ALSO THE ART??? I LOVE HOW THE AUTHOR DRAWS SETTINGS SO MUCH and am unabashedly jealous because i am completely incapable of doing so   just like,,,, even if the story doesn’t pull you in, you can at least stare at each panel for long stretches of time.

(unfortunately succumbed to daily pass, but you can read it on mangaowl or manganelo!)

3) Spirit Fingers (167 chapters)

aww, this one is cute. Amy is 18 and lacking in self confidence (her family definitely doesn’t help). but HEY she joins a wacky art club!! without her parents knowing!! HECK YEAH!! unfortunately it takes more than joining an art club for her to learn to love herself (it is a long journey after all!). i love this webtoon because it explores the problems of multiple people, not just amy: her high achieving brothers, her mother who had to give up her dream, the different members in the art club, Amy’s girl friends. the art is unique and has a cool watercolor-y texture! and the main couple is just adorable, too. if you’re an artist especially, i recommend this because that’s a big theme and you get to see these characters expand their art styles! which is very cool!

(you can read this one fully on 1stkissmanga)

now here’s where the majority of my recs are:

IN PROGRESS (all can be read on webtoon.com)

1) The Makeup Remover (currently 71 chapters)

i look forward to this every tuesday and friday because oh man!!!!!!!!! idk about you guys, but i am thinking about beauty standards A Large Amount of the time, especially when i consume media. and this webtoon is all about beauty standards (specifically in Korea, but still applicable like. everywhere). Main character Yeseul ends up having to partake in this beauty competition and, with her experiences through it, she begins seeing makeup and beauty standards for the huge role they play in society. i said it already but i LOVE LOVE LOVE this webtoon because it really challenges you as a reader to think about your own perspectives. why do we find the things/people beautiful that we do? what shapes our perception? how much of it is marketing, and how much of it shows in our daily lives? what assumptions do you make about people based on how they look? AGHH im sounding like an essay prompt instead of a reviewer but man. if you like webtoons that examine society through a critical lens (gosh i sound like an english teacher), this is the one. 

2) Odd Girl out (currently 261 chapters; on season 2) 

okay, first and foremost: if you’re NOT into long winded drama, this probably isn’t it for you. i will admit im not a fan of long problems that get dragged out, especially in a school setting, but i did keep reading this webtoon and i am glad that i did! the character development here is amazing and ONE CRUCIAL THING is that the whole first season (which is many, many chapters. at least over 100) focuses on the friendship between our main 4 girls. if you don’t wanna wait for a romance storyline (which comes in season 2), then you’ve gotta have the patience of a saint. i loved this though because lots of romance webtoons cast friendships aside or use them to further the romantic plot. platonic relationships are great to read about and this one does it masterfully! main character nari is resilient and emotionally strong, and it’s great to see her ruin her enemies

3) Cursed Princess Club (currently 110 chapters; on break before the final season)

this is another one about beauty and societal expectations, but in a fantasy setting! it’s really funny and the cast of characters is heartwarming. Gwen is a princess, but she doesn’t look like the typical princess. she accidentally stumbles upon the Cursed Princess Club, which is exactly what it sounds like: a club for princesses that have been cursed and are trying to find their self worth despite not being conventional princesses! now that i think about it, this is like a lighthearted mixture of Makeup Remover and Spirit Fingers. although while i do say “lighthearted”, this webtoon has its fair share of mysteries and exploration of deeper topics. but its funny throughout

4) Brass & Sass (currently 83 chapters)

ahh this one is really cute and the art is cute, too! i also like how this has a diverse cast. high schooler Camilla kinda sucks at band, but dangit if she’s not passionate. Victor is some type of musical prodigy but he’s a brass-hole (hahaha get it. no that’s not original i ripped it from the summary). now i KNOW I KNOW, the whole “perky girl and asshole guy” is so overplayed BUT DON’T FRET! this isn’t the type of story where the girl “fixes” the guy, or where the guy is an asshole to everyone except the girl. believe me, the character development and relationship development in this story is SPLENDID. there’s no real antagonist. it’s just a bunch of high schoolers trying their best to make themselves and everyone else happy, and that’s hard! the story is carried more by the characters than by the plot, but it works well in this case since the characters are strong and each one has a presence. 

5) Surviving Romance (currently 10 chapters)

this one is relatively new compared to my other recs but it’s by the author of the Makeup Remover so yaknow i had to hop on it. BUT IT IS VERY DIFFERENT! first off, it’s a horror, so keep that in mind. the best way i can describe it is a mixture of the standard “girl falls into a story” genre, Groundhog Day, and zombies. Yeah. Bascially, Chaerin is our main girl and she’s in a romance story that’s she’s read a bajillion times, so she knows the day has come for her male lead to confess his love! except he doesn’t! because he becomes a zombie instead! hahaha well that sucks! it’s only got 10 chapters but i am very into it, and it seems to be taking an emphasis on platonic relationships, so i am very closely watching 👁👁

6) The Witch and the Bull (currently 60 chapters) 

another witch story! and the art is GORGEOUS. more witch + nonwitch conflict, too! our main dude, Tan, is the royal advisor and he’s hella bigoted against witches. our main girl, Aro, happens to be a witch. and Tan needs her help to make him into a human again (because he got turned into a bull. that is worth mentioning). this is a very barebones summary and there’s a lot more that goes on, but that’s the general gist of the beginning!

ANYWAYS. this got very long, predictably, and i rambled for each title, predictably. i’ve got more that i’m reading, but i really like these 9! i also made comments on the art for a lot of them, which might not matter to some people, but i feel like my art was very impacted by each webtoon i read. if you’re an artist i recommend finding a webtoon you like and studying the art; try implementing parts you like into your own style! 

anyways, i am FINALLY done talking. bye yall

GRUVIA DAY: I Kissed a Girl

Gray Fullbuster, Juvia Lockser September 10, 2020 Rating: M for sensitive language and theme

Writer's Corner: Before we start and before you light that fire to burn me, let's settle a few things: 1) I know. It's too early for Halloween. Consider it as an advance. Hahahaha; 2) I know a lot of you will hate me for this, esp with how the last FT100YRQuest chapter portrayed the FT girls. But please know that I wrote this with no intention to degrade any woman or devalue them in any way. Lastly, with that said, read at your own risk.

HAPPY GRUVIA DAY!

---

It's that time of the year. The most awaited holiday of every tired out college student of Fairy Tail University was just around the corner – Halloween. Couldn't blame them. Halloween was the perfect excuse to dress up funny, drink silly and pass out on one of those green yards. But for the members of the Kappa Kappa Chi, it was the best time to wear the sexiest – sluttiest – costumes without actually being called one. And for the members of the Fairy Tail Dragons, the University's Three-peat Ice Hockey champions, to watch their fantasies come to life. Besides, it was that one day of the year when they could bang a Smurfette and not get judged for it. It was a win-win situation.

Except for Gray Fullbuster, FT Dragons' newest recruit, and this year's Halloween "Island Girl". The Dragons had a tradition, some kind of 'baptism of fire' thing. For this year's annual Kappa Halloween party, Gray Fullbuster was coming as 'Aloha' Fullbuster – the adventurous island girl of Tenroujima, looking for a good time in the City of Magnolia. So, that's a no to hooking up with any of the sexy ladies tonight. How sad.

Gray wished no one would recognize him in that totally inappropriate costume and hoped no one would hit on him. Because he was definitely going to hit on them back – with his foot.

Laxus Dreyar, the Dragons' vicious and ruthless Team Captain made sure Gray a.k.a. 'Aloha' had the complete ensemble: the lei, the fake grass skirt, the coconut bra. He was just being spiteful because his girlfriend made him wear a onesie – the 'not sexy' kind. But no one dared laugh at him, he was the Captain.

The only good thing that came out of this stupid 'Baptism of Fire' thing was Natsu getting the ballerina costume. No one would definitely want to hook up with that muscle guy in tights and leotards. At least, with his long, black wig, Gray could pass as a woman, beautiful at that. As a matter of fact, checking out 'Aloha' on the mirror, Gray would definitely hook up with her. Then, he shuddered, realizing he shouldn't because that would be weird. Dammit, and here Gray thought once he made it into the team, he'd have ladies flock around him and lock lips with the hottest girls 24/7. Guess he had to skip that this year.

"You ready, Island Girl?"

"Shut up, you dumbass ballerina."

Gray snarled at the pink-haired, cladded in a tutu with the same color as his hair, when he catcalled just to ruffle Gray's feathers. Oh, wait. Natsu was the one wearing the feathers.

"Aren't you cold?" Pink Swan genuinely asked as the two girls headed out of their dormitory. He was so serious Gray almost believed Tights and Leotards here was worried about him. At least, Pink Swan was covered all over, it was tight and every muscle in his body bulged, but all covered nonetheless.

Gray, on the other hand…

"Like I have a choice." He eyed the oddly unbothered left wing Forward, strutting down the sidewalk. Gray grimaced at his confidence and, if you look hard enough, a bit of Natsu's sass. Tights actually did look like an all muscle guy with a secret life as a ballerina. So much so that Gray reminded himself to stay away from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the Pink Tutu at the party as much as possible.

They stopped near a lamp post and waited for the guys to pick them up. Captain promised that he would drive them to the Kappa House. That would make the walk to the Kappa less awkward and less violent because Gray and Natsu would definitely beat up whoever tried to as much as ogle them on the way there. But Gray knew Captain Laxus just wanted to make sure the two wouldn't bail, that's why he was going to bring them to the party himself. What a vicious Pokémon. That wasn't the only thing to be worried about though, Gray soon realized, when he choked on his own saliva as he watched Pink Swan Natsu rested his hip on the side and folded his hand to study his nails while they waited. Gray sidled a few steps just to put some space between them. Actually, he'd start to stay away from the guy now.

Gray could finally breathe, or, choke some more, when the "Bolt", Captain's yellow Chevy, stopped in a skid just in front of them. True to the typical High School jock fashion, of course, Laxus drove a convertible. How else could he flaunt his perfect life and his perfect girlfriend around campus and make all other men wished they were dead?

"You girls ready?"

Yeah. Whatever, Pikachu. Gray wanted to retort but, of course, he couldn't. So, both Gray and Natsu jumped into the car and squeezed themselves at the back seat with Batman Bickslow, who draped his icky arms around the new recruits and pulled the repulsed Freshmen against him possessively, promising, "Imma make sure you girls are comfortable."

More like the opposite of it. But there was no sign the pervy Batman was going to let go anytime soon, so might as well give up to his fate. Gray settled in his seat, preparing for the most dreadful night of his freshman life.

Well, this was going to be a fun night, he thought. Sarcasm implied.

---

The Kappa House was just around the corner. Could hardly miss it with the white strobes of light spinning around the sky like it was saying 'we're here'. The familiar beat of the bass blared into the large expanse of the garden and a flock of various characters came flowing into the mansion. Wow, these Kappa girls could throw a party.

The five of them walked into the house like they owned it. No, correction – like they own the world. The other members of the hockey team greeted the Captain on their way in. Each and all wanting to see the sight that was the Great Laxus Dreyar in his pokemon costume, complete with the thunder-ear headband. The girls quickly circled around them, wanting a piece of the famous hockey team. But Gray made the mistake of meeting eyes with one of the onlookers and getting the bite-lip, followed by a very suggestive air-bite from skinny Dracula. A palpable chill ran down his spine and Gray quickly came up with the decision not to make any more eye contact with anyone – anyone at all.

"You girls wait here." The Captain ordered, as he tipped his head over the silver-haired witch cladded in a red robe. Gray easily recognized her despite the coveralls – Mirajane Strauss, head cheerleader and the Captain's girl. Very pretty and very off-limits.

Laxus made his way over there, talked to her a little was now heading to one of those rooms upstairs. Man, the Captain was gonna get lucky while Gray was stuck with clueless college idiots ogling him and Natsu like they were some kind of virgin sacrifices. Life was so unfair sometimes.

"Well, they won't be coming down for a while." Batman Bickslow opened, turning to his Robin, Freed Justine. "Or ever. So, let's spread and mingle. Wadda you say?" He slapped a hand on Gray's tushy and added, "Get ourselves one of those cheerleaders, eh?" He looked back at the new recruits and had the urge to correct, "or some of those guys from the wrestling club. Who knows? You girls might get lucky."

Another shudder and it wasn't because Gray's belly was out in the open.

"See you around, ladies!"

It wasn't like Batman and Robin promised to protect them. So, just like that, Gray and Natsu were left to fend for themselves. Gray "Aloha" Fullbuster needed to get out of their before…

"Hello there, beautiful."

And he scrammed, leaving the Pink Swan to deal with the wackos and he didn't at all feel guilty.

It was a breath of fresh air when he stumbled into the decorated backyard. He couldn't be more thankful. Natsu could deal with those perverts himself. Gray just didn't have the energy. So, tonight, he'd rather be alone and invisible. He looked for a dark, quiet spot to brood, rethink his life choices maybe, but the loud laughter coming from the pool-side bar caught his attention. A group of girls gathered around the bar, wearing costumes ranging from Bunny Girl to Firefighter, each one not sparing a chance to show a lot of skin, mind you, and who knew Strawberries could be that sexy? As much as those characters demanded his full attention – to the best curves and skin – his appreciating eyes zeroed in on the familiar long, blue waves. He watched as the bluenette, who was wearing the same costume as he was, licked salt on some Greek god's abs. That lucky bastard. She shot back her drink and basked in the cheers of her Kappa Kappa Chi sisters.

"Hey, Juvia." Gray heard the voice behind him before feeling the weight of an arm over his shoulders. When he turned his head to see the owner of the voice, 'Aloha' winced at the smell of strong alcohol. "Found your twin!" The swaying Police Girl turned to him, breathing alcohol right into his face. "Let's go get a taste of that Greek god."

Hell no!

He protested but damn the woman was determined. Gray knew her; she was in his World Lit Class. Also, she's the reason he couldn't seem to approach the bluenette. He didn't mind getting welcomed into that circle though, especially when Juvia was the one who pulled him to her side and clung to him the whole time because she said they were soul sisters, being in the same hula girl costume. It wasn't on purpose but c'est la vie!

Maybe Captain Pikachu's 'initiation' wasn't that bad. Gray had been trying for days to talk to Juvia. She was also in his class, seating right in front of him. But he never got the chance because she was always surrounded by her cheerleader squad or those stubborn ugly looking guys who wouldn't go away. They weren't necessarily ugly but who cares? They were giant eyesores; especially when they were making Juvia laugh and giggle and he couldn't even come up and talk to the woman.

Thanks to this questionable 'initiation rights', Gray was this close to her, skin brushing against skin once in a while, and could even enjoy a laugh or two with Juvia. Oh ho! Gray had no complaints. Except for that one fleeting moment they were egging him to take a body shot on that Greek god dude. That was a hard no. Not even a slightly tipsy 'Aloha' would say yes to that. No, ma'am.

---

At around dawn, when people started leaving and after Cana, the drunk and sexy police girl, took home – up to her room at the Kappa House – the Greek god, the girls decided to bring the party inside, around the fireplace at the living room, or what looked like a tamed version of it. Actually, the girls were just tired. They had their fun with the Greek god and decided the only action they would be getting was a lazy game of truth or dare. Besides, their President, and the squad's Head Cheerleader, was up there 'getting it' for the rest of them. Somehow, Aloha-Gray found himself squeezed on the couch between Juvia and Mirajane's younger sister, Lisanna. Also, none of them were sober enough to realize he didn't really belong there. All he had to do was keep quiet and don't get picked by the bottle.

Otherwise…

"Okay, your turn Juvia!" It was the sexy librarian, Levy, who was dared to send a very provocative text to his lab partner, who spun the bottle that landed on the bluenette.

"Alright, alright. Dare." Juvia giggled. "Hit me with your best shot, Levy!"

Sexy Librarian opened her mouth but was quickly interrupted when they heard a loud derisive snort coming from sexy police girl who found her own place in the circle.

"You can't trust Shrimp for a fun dare." said Cana. "She'll just make you take off the stupid coconuts."

"Hey!" Levy retorted, but she sat right back, realizing that was exactly what she was going to challenge Juvia to do. "It's daring."

"How about this," The twinkle in those sober brown eyes gave Cana away. "I dare you to kiss your fellow Island Girl."

There was an amused 'ooh' bouncing around the room. That challenge definitely got everyone's attention since all of them knew Juvia was a bit too… vanilla. Never played for the other team, not even out of plain curiosity. When Juvia didn't respond, Cana thought she wasn't up for it.

"Too chicken?"

Juvia glanced at him, at Gray, and he could see she was considering it. She smirked at him with visible interest.

"If Aloha here doesn't mind."

That was probably the alcohol talking but Gray Fullbuster didn't mind. He most definitely did not mind. Except that, it was the exact moment his cock-block of a brain reminded him he wasn't really a girl and that would definitely defeat the purpose of the dare. They bonded over the Greek god and he really felt like he belonged there now. So, Gray ought to tell the girls the truth before things got out of hand. He owed that to Aloha's Kappa Kappa Chi sisters. But as Gray was about to come clean, Juvia had already got him tongue-tied, quite literally.

Juvia Lockser was a good kisser, very experienced. Gray would go as far as say she was more experienced than he was. She got some moves and dammit, Juvia Lockser was making him lose consciousness with just the way her tongue slithered around his. But it felt good, so good that it made him forget about honesty being the best policy and fought Juvia for dominance, leaning in as close as he could get. Gray could hear their coconuts knocking against each other. Juvia probably heard it too, knocking her senses back to her. There was no other reason why Juvia would pull her tongue out of Gray's mouth and started giggling against his lips.

"I'm sorry." She erupted into another series of giggles, making Gray feel self-conscious. But they probably have put on a good show because the girls were cheering them on, probably hoping for some encore performance.

"That was some kiss, Lockser." She received the thumbs-up approval from the darer.

"Not too vanilla now, am I?"

Juvia couldn't keep the gloat in her voice, throwing each of her non-believers a smug look and returned to the flustered Island Girl.

"Look. I ruined your lipstick." She said, wiping the stain outside the line of Gray's lips. "C'mon up, I'll help you fix it." But all Gray wanted was for Juvia to ruin it some more. Still, 'Aloha' followed her like an obedient puppy.

She brought him into her room and led him directly into her walk-in closet. Gray then realized how different a girl's room was from a guy's. He was sharing with Natsu and damn, their room was a labyrinth with all the dirty clothes and other dirty things thrown all over the floor. Juvai's room was neat, tidy and pink. Juvia went into her drawers to search for a lipstick with the same shade as Aloha's.

"Found it!"

She bounced back to him, pulling out the applicator to swatch on 'Aloha's' lips. Gray quickly blocked her hand, deciding he better come clean now or him and Juvia – never gonna happen.

"I'm sorry."

"Wow, your voice is really deep." Then, with the kiss probably sobering her up, Juvia pulled a look of confusion. "For a girl?"

"Actually, that's what I was going to talk to you about."

Carefully, 'Aloha' pulled his long, black hair off his head.

"I'm not a girl."

There was silence. Gray braced for the beating that was about to come but there was nothing. He peeked with one eye to see that Juvia wasn't pulling an angry expression.

"Oh, wow."

On the contrary, she looked a bit…

"That's good."

Relieved.

"For a second there, you got me doubting my own sexuality." She wasn't looking at him now. Juvia sat next to him and stared amusingly at the pink wall. "I really thought a girl was turning me on."

Okay, since she wasn't mad about the, it wasn't technically a lie… just a 'withholding of truth'. Fine, the lie. Since she wasn't angry at him and she was talking about being turned on, Gray carpe diem-ed. He sneaked beside Juvia and, with a smirk that both ghosted his lips and his voice, flirted.

"I turn you on?"

Juvia glanced at him, returning his playfulness. "Well…" but her smile of amusement started to waver as Juvia stared him up and down. "Not right now. No."

"Right." He understood, casting his eyes on the floor. All hope abandoned.

There was that uncomfortable silence again with Gray not knowing the social cues on situations like this. It wasn't everyday that he got Frenched by a hot girl thinking he was a girl and finding out that he actually wasn't. Gray didn't really know the best time to say goodbye and scram. He made attempts but they easily popped like a bubble. Besides, there was nothing he could come up with now that would be of any help. With the way Juvia was avoiding his eyes, hope was flying farther and farther away.

"Maybe," Juvia broke the ice, worrying her bottom lip with her crazy idea. "Maybe, if you lose the coconuts?"

Halleluiah! There was hope.

Gray quickly lost the coconuts and tossed them somewhere behind him.

"Top off." Gray watched Juvia eye him with interest. Then, her pleased blue eyes landed on his bottom and her lips twitched.

"And the skirt too."

He slid out of the grassy skirt in one quick move, tossing it along with his boxers, and waited as hot island girl Juvia checked him out in all his fine glory. She bit her lower lip, obviously loving what she saw.

"Not too shabby, Island Girl."

"Well," Gray gained his confidence, "it's Gray actually." and grabbed the woman by the waist, wincing at the pain of the coconuts which Juvia quickly got rid of, as they both tried to recapture that wanton passion they shared downstairs, when Gray was still 'Aloha' and Juvia was enjoying the thrill of her experiment. Then, the searing passion found its way to Juvia's bed where Gray made sure that, after that night, hot cheerleader Juvia would never think of him as a girl. Ever.

Rough translation of Miracle Queen dialogue (sorry if I missed something).

The ep starts with Marinette saying that one Has to always be ready

Then Hawkmoth gives Chloe the miraculous box and orders her to use it “reasonably”

Then Chloe orders the wasps to sting everyone

Marinette monoluges offscreen while ppl get stung about love and sacrifice, and finding your own destiny (I kind of do not like the sudden narration they introduced in the finale)

Marinette pulls away from Luka and says she doesn’t know why she acted like that. He asks if she’s okay and she says yes, thank you. Then she asks if he has found the perfect melody. He says yes and asks if she wants to listen. Marinette hesitates, and Luka asks if she’s thinking about Adrien.

Then the wasps come, Luka protects Marinette, she cries “oh no not them again”, Tikki time to hide, and then she transforms and jumps into the river.

Adrien pushes Kagami away and babbles “no, yes, no”. He thought things would be different (either he thinks about her “not like that” or he thought he would feel different about kissing her).

Kagami asks if he doesn’t feel good in her company, and he says that he feels good, but “it seems he’s not ready”. Kagami asks when will he be ready and when he doesn’t answer she says his hesitance hurts her. Then the wasps come. Kagami cries “No” and pushes him out of the way.

Adrien runs [and apparently Andree the ice cream man now knows Chat’s identity, because Adrien jumps into the river BEFORE the bridge xD] and transforms

Chloe: Ppl of Paris, listen to the first order of the Miracle Queen. And then she outs other miraculous holders (HOLY CRAP) – she says that previous miraculous holders should come to her – and only those who have wielded a miraculous come! [“talisman” is apparently a miraculous in Ukrainian dub]

 ***

Hawkmoth: you won’t hide anything from me

Then Chloe comments on who comes – “nerd Max”, pseudo reporter, dj tupac. What did Ladybug think choosing you?! Ah, and Kim, I could have expected that.

Luka joins them. Chloe: I don’t know him but he must take his clothes from a dumster (trashy clothes)

Kagami comes. Chloe: Oh, no, not her. This is a ridiculous choice. Simply ridiculous. But oh well, take your miraculouses.

Nino and Kagami do not take a miraculous. Hawkmoth is surprised – “why won’t they take a miraculous”? Chloe: ah, prolly they were stupid and lost their miraculous.

Hawkmoth: they lost them or someone else has them (spoiler alert – they’re not – Master Fu has turtle, LB has dragon)

Chloe orders those who has the miraculous to transform, then says they’re her royal guard now. “Ladybug, Chat Noir, I will use your armor/weapon to destroy you. You will regret you didn’t want me anymore.”

 ***

Hawkmoth joins Mayura on the roof. “It’s time to deal with the old fool”.

Mayura: faints.

Hawkmoth: Mayura.

Mayura: I’m fine lol

Hawkmoth: I never wanted this to be part of my plan. I’m sorry, but I need you again.

Mayura: don’t guilt yourself. From the first day I knew I’d do anything for you [WHAAAAA???] She summons the sentimonster. They tell it to destroy the shield.

 ***

LB and CN meet under water. CN asks who has the dragon miraculous now, but LB says she didn’t give it to anyone yet.

LB: Master FU is missing, I’m sure something bad happened to him.

CN: checks, UR right LB, Hawkmoth has Fu trapped and he has the miraculouses. That’s a catastrophe

LB: That’s my fault. I didn’t detransform when I went to him. Cry cry

CN: Hey, we need to get to master Fu, before the sentimonster ruins the shield. That’s something only Ladybug can do

LB: hugs him. Thank you Chat, you always have help me

CN: always LB

LB: already has a plan. First we go after Miracle Queen to get other holders out of her control, then we go after Mayura and Hawkmoth to free master Fu. But first we need to deal with the wasps, if they sting us, all is over.

CN: we’ll do what we can

LB: we can do more! activates dragon miraculous

CN: no, it’s dangerous, you’ve already used the water power

LB: we have no choice

Longg: I’m ready to fight Ladybug!

They get out of water, drop the water power, LB joins dragon and ladybug, then summons water dragon to push away the wasps.

Chloe: Ladybug!

LB: It’s Dragonbug for you!

 ***

Hawkmoth: More power won’t help you. In a few moments the shield will be down and I will make the guardian to tell me your identities.

Master fu: Don’t listen to him. You are strong enough to deal with this. Just work together.

Chat and LB: we can do this. As always.

CN to HM: you don’t scare us. We’re a team.

LB: it’s not your lucky day, Hawkmoth.

HM: Time to act my Queen

Chloe: Fight them my minions

LB: Snake is the most dangerous. Take care of him Chat

Chat holds him still.

LN: seems like you’re locked, but I’m not. Takes away Luka’s bracelet. [SMART GIRL]

Chloe: loser

LB: Chat Noir, your turn. Throws him the snake miraculous.

Chat: Sass, Plagg, merge!

Chat: Dragonbug, it’s an illusion.

Kim:  makes LB’s yoyo useless.

LB: No. Wasps: sting sting

Chat: second chance. Dragonbug, it’s a mirage. Second chance [You get it now, right?]

Chat: Dragonbug, a hole – there!

Chloe: Haha, pitiful. You really think I- gets the frog in da face. Puff the wasps go.

LB: Long, Tikki, divide.

CN: Sass, Plagg, divide.

LB: Time to deevilize. Bbye butterfly

 ***

CN: See, it’s not your day, Hawkmoth

Hawkmoth: AHA

LB: Hawkmoth is our enemy, Chloe. We can’t allow him to have the miraculous box.

Chloe: I won’t talk to you. How many times have I asked you for my miraculous, huh? Hawkmoth is not my enemy, but yours. And the miraculous box is MINE!

LB: Chloe, don’t do this.

Chloe: Watch me, I’m gonna become the mightiest miraculous holder in the history.

HM: Hahaha, I don’t need more proof. I knew you were one of us, Chloe Bourgeois.

Chloe: Hahaha, what ru waiting for, transform me now!

Kwamis: You don’t know our names. And you haven’t said the right words either. And you could ask nicely.

Chloe: I’m your queen. Miracle Queen. I order you to tell me what I have to do next!

Hawkmoth: You can’t do anything. I already won. The shield will fall and the guardian will be in my hands. Your friends won’t help you. You’re alone now. Check mate, Ladybug!

LB: I have one more move, Hawkmoth. Lucky Charm! A charm? What am I supposed to do with it?

HM: Hahahaha, you won’t do anything, my plan is perfect. You can’t stop me.

LB: I don’t have any ideas.

CN: Think, you can do everything!

LB: Sorry, I don’t know what to do. I put mastrer Fu in this position.

CN:  Ladybug, no.

LB: It’s because of me Hawkmoth took the miraculous box. I’m the worst Ladybug ever.

Fu: Ladybug, you’re the best miraculous holder I’ve ever met. Yes, you’ve made a mistake. But you fixed it with your actions.

LB: But I don’t know what to do, Master

Fu: You have all the keys and you will become the greatest guardian.

HM: WHAT?

Kwamis: Master, No! Don’t do this!

Fu: I renounce the miraculous box and declare Ladybug the next guardian!

HM: No!

Chloe: No! That’s my box, mine! I’m the guardian, I’m the Queen. Hawkmoth, do something!

HM:  I’m disappointed. (runs away with Mayura)

CN: I will go after them, you go after the box.

LB: Sorry, Chloe, but this belongs to me.

Chloe: I don’t need your stupid miraculous. You’ll see, and Paris will see. I’m going to leave for New York with my mom, and I’m going to be the only owner of the comb. Without you and your stupid losers you call friends.

LB: Sorry, Chloe, but I can’t let you do that.

Chloe: oh yeah? Well, I don’t like you anymore Ladybug. You don’t deserve to breathe the same air as me!

CN: Sorry, I couldn’t find them

 ***

LB: Master Fu, Master Fu, wake up!

Gabriel: Oh, my Nathalie. I’m so sorry. I lost again and you used up all your strength. For nothing.

Nathalie: No, not for nothing, the previous guardian had the miraculous book deciphered, now we can fix the peacock miraculous.

 ***

LB: Master Fu?

Fu: these are nice costumes. Who are you?

CN: he lost his memory?

Wayzz: That’s the fate of guardians once they renounce the box. All their personal memories were kept in the miraculous.

LB: It’s okay, we’re your friends, sir.

Fu: Ah, nice to meet you!

Wayzz: Good luck, Master.

CN: Wait, you haven’t cast the cure yet!

LB: Miraculous Ladybug! Master Fu do you remember me now?

Fu: Sorry to disappoint, miss, but I see you for the first time in my life.

CN: The thing that happened to him was because of Chloe.

LB: My cure didn’t change anything.

Fu: It’s a shame you threw away such a nice charm, I’d use it for my key. Here.

 ***

Chloe: Mom, I expect Jean Something to finish packing our suitcases, we’re leaving now! Wha?

Andre: Your mom changed her mind.

Audrey: It was a mistake, but everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

Andre: Ah, my queen!

Chloe: Yuk, that’s disgusting. I order you to fight again!

 ***

Marinette reading Fu’s letter: When we grow up, we find out that life doesn’t always give us what we expected. I’d like to tell you everything myself, but if you’re reading this, it means I’ve lost my memory. You don’t have to be scared or sad, as I’ve learned at the beginning of my way loss is just a part of life. But it’s not important that life doesn’t give us what we expect. Because the biggest gift is the life itself.

 ***

Fu: I see you for the first time, but my heart beats so quick as if I’ve always known you.

Marianne: You should always believe your heart [Gee, I wonder what LB would say to that…]

Marinette: A gift, for the travel.

Fu: Thank you, miss. I will never forget you.

 ***

At the bank, Fu’s voice: Even if life doesn’t give us what we expect, the biggest gift is life itself.

Luka: You okay?

Marinette: How’s that melody? Can I listen to it?

Luka: You want to listen?

Marinette: Mhm.

 ***

Gabriel holding the peacock miraculous in a gloved hand: Just as good as new.

THE END

***

Hope you enjoyed it!

Episode 10: Silent Night

This show is taking over my life and I’m not even mad.

Spoilers ahead.

0:28 - This whole scene. Malcolm’s eyes. Holy crap. He looks sad, tired, scared. It utterly breaks my heart.

0:48 -  This is Malcolm descending into a panic attack. :( ALSO though - we have confirmation that Ainsley used the clip of her father screaming about how he was a good father. Did Ainsley also use the clip of her listing her brother’s diagnoses? Because honestly, that would be a terrible sister move. I can’t see Malcolm wanting people to know about his diagnoses unless he really trusts them. Is that why Malcolm’s having the beginnings of a panic attack right now? Because he’s realizing that everyone knows. Or is it simply the fact that his father is triggering bad memories for him? Or is it a combo platter?

1:00 - ICONIC. You know this is hilarious and totally in character for Jessica. BUT I think she threw her shoe because she saw Malcolm panicking and she knew that throwing her shoe would shock him out of a full-blown panic attack. I think that if he wasn’t panicking she would’ve just screamed at him and turned off the TV. 

1:20 - Look at how sad Jessica is here. She isn’t upset that her son isn’t normal or that she’s not getting grandchildren anytime soon. She’s upset that her son isn’t happy and that he’s suffering. She blames herself for it. We saw that in 1x7. 

1:40 - This little conversation between Malcolm and Jessica is really cool. They’re both trying to comfort each other and they’re both concerned for each other. 

2:24 - Reason #1214 (yes- I pulled that number out of thin air) that Malcolm needs some sleep. Or some time off. Or some peace. -- The boy didn’t notice that it was Christmas Eve. I don’t care if you don’t celebrate Christmas - the Christmas season has become a massive corporate holiday. It’s almost impossible to ignore. Between the commercials, decorations, sales, music ... how can you not notice?

2:51 - I adore this moment. Look at how happy Malcolm his watching the children run around happily. I’m telling you we need a scene where bright has to hang out with a little kid. It would be cute. Also - Gil. That look that Gil initially gives Malcolm is a look of pure love. He’s happy to see Malcolm smiling. He’s happy to see Malcolm on a holiday. He’s happy to see Malcolm on Christmas Day. 

3:35 - Personal disclaimer. I immediately hate Colette Swanson. Simply because Malcolm hates her and Malcolm finds it in him to have compassion for murderers. Therefore - this woman must truly suck. 

3:38 - Malcolm looks crushed when he finds out Colette is in charge. Gil is enjoying teasing Malcolm. It’s cute. I like it. 

4:05 - Ok. So 1) Malcolm has gone full-blown manic again. Check out the way he just greeted JT. and 2) I looked it up. Kringle is a Scandinavian pastry. So does this mean that Tally’s family has Scandinavian roots? Or JT does and his wife makes it for him? I need to know. 

4:13 - Dani looks concerned when she asks if Malcolm has seen Ainsley’s interview. This makes me think that Ainsley probably did include the clip where she lists Malcolm’s diagnoses. This makes me sad. It also makes me lose some respect for Ainsley. 

4:37 - How well did Gil know Turner? Gil looks really sad here. Is it sadness because he and Turner were friends? Or just the general sadness that comes over you when you realize that someone you knew died and it makes you remember how fleeting life is?

4:55 - I love how that subtle shot at Malcolm went totally above his head. 

5:19 - Where’s Edrisa? We isn’t the medical crew there? 

5:34 - When Malcolm takes the gun Gil looks a little alarmed and concerned. Then he shares a look with JT. JT looks concerned too. Actually this whole scene - as Bright gestures with the gun the camera keeps cutting to Gil and/or JT and Dani who have matching looks of concern on their faces. 

6:20 - And this is what they were afraid of. The manic idiot, who is clearly not doing well right now, just put a gun to his head. I love how Gil reacts. It’s the same way an angry parent would talk to a misbehaving child. 

6:32 - How much do you want to bet that Gil continued that conversation later. Malcolm’s passive suicidality is really getting out of hand. 

7:28 - This is great. “Sounds like you.” It’s true though. Since his wife died I’m sure Gil threw his whole life into his work. Now he just works or worries about the team. He seems to know it too. The warning look he gives Dani is a look that says “not the time” not “you’re wrong and I’m annoyed at your sass”.

7:50 - Okay. Colette is a b**ch to Bright. Right off the bat. What happened between them?!? Seriously? This is not professional behaviour. This is straight up harassment. The team does Not Look Happy with the way she’s talking to Bright. All three of them look some mixture of annoyed, confused, and concerned. 

8:21 - This whole scene is painful to watch. Colette being more of a b**ch to Malcolm and Malcolm acting like an excited puppy who desperately wants to help. BUT at 8:21 the look JT gives Colette before he walks away. hahahaha I’ve never noticed it before. He’s like “Not my circus, not my monkeys. This woman is cray cray. I’m out.”

8:45 - Love the parallel between 1x5 when Malcolm asks about how Dani knows Estime and here when Dani asks about how Malcolm knows Colette. Also look at Malcolm’s face when he responds. He looks dead inside. I don’t think we’ve ever seen him look at anyone with cold, detached, hatred before. What did this woman do to him?!?

8:50 - Malcolm looks upset here. The way he looks at the ground. Huh. Is Colette just another one of Malcolm’s bullies?

8:58 - I hate how condescending Colette is to everyone in this scene. I love how Dani looks at Gil for guidance on how to respond. Gil looks so mad he’s even refusing to make eye contact with Colette more than strictly necessary. If this woman wasn’t FBI, just a regular member of the NYPD, I swear Gil would lose it on her. 

9:10 - Dani looks so upset that Gil is making her work with Colette. AND look at that little warning look Gil gives Malcolm when he says “you’re with me” AND look at that smile that Gil gave Colette before he walked out. hahaha that was not a kind smile. Gil is my hero. 

9:26 - Honestly I hate this woman more than I hate Martin. Look at how poorly she makes Malcolm feel. Look at how condescending and rude she is to everyone. IS THIS THE UMBRIDGE OF THE PRODIGAL SON FANDOM?!? Because honestly, if she turns out to be a victim in a future episode I won’t even be mad if the plot doesn’t make sense.

9:34 - so Malcolm has a desk again? Or he’s forced to work at his desk because the case board room has been overtaken by the FBI? Either way - Gil looking at Malcolm with concern and sympathy is fuelling my soul. 

9:40 - Ok so two things. 1) Has anyone else noticed that Malcolm only has ONE (1) watch. A brown leather watch. It doesn’t look like a super fancy, expensive watch either. This seems strange for a rich dude (they usually have a lot of watches or at least a fancy Rolex that they show off). I know that doesn’t fit with Malcolm’s personality but the fact that he only wears the one watch makes me headcanon that it was a gift from Gil and Jackie. Maybe when he graduated college or something? THING 2) Is Malcolm avoiding Ainsley’s call because he’s pissed with her about the interview or because he’s got too much going on right now and he can’t handle a drama call from the family?

9:46 - Does Ainsley seriously not feel bad about that interview? I mean she’s asking her brother for a favour right after stabbing him in the back. 

10:21 - Shaky hand, scared eyes. This isn’t good. 

10:38 - Detective Shannon is a dick. I mean. Even if Malcolm was an accomplice to his Dad’s murders - you just don’t talk to a kid like that. Especially if that kid is showing signs of emotional distress like baby Malcolm is in the flashback. The shaking, slight rocking of the body, eyes screwed shut, shaky voice. Poor little guy is terrified. 

11:15 - This suggests that Gil knows about how Shannon treated Bright. How did Gil find out? Recently or when it was happening? What did Gil do/say to Shannon when he found out? Does Jessica know? Is this why Malcolm went mute? Or did this happen after Malcolm started talking again?

 11:31 - Okay so protective/concerned Gil warms my heart. You all know this by now. But look at the moment after Shannon calls Gil “lucky boy”. Gil looks positively furious and Malcolm looks scared. Almost like Shannon’s voice is sending him into a C-PTSD flashback. BUT once Malcolm snaps out of his fear he looks angry and suspicious. 

13:20 - Gil’s quiet warning is awesome. You can tell that he’s not mad at Malcolm. He thinks Malcolm’s little speech is justified. He’s afraid of what this gun toting lunatic might do to Bright if provoked. 

13:34 - This is one of my absolute favourite moments in the show’s history. Look at the way Gil jumps in front of Malcolm and holds Shannon back. That’s partially the cop in him doing his job BUT that’s also a man furious that someone would have the nerve to try and hurt his son.

13:51 - and now Malcolm looks manic again. Gil still looks pissed. 

14:38 - Gil’s taking this case personally. Makes sense, even if he didn’t know Ian Turner very well. Gil is a good man who has a very strong moral code. He’s a protector. It makes sense that he would be pissed that an extremely good man was murdered for no good reason. 

15:25 - Dani, you are my queen. Tell that b**ch that’s she’s out of line. You go girl.

16:00 - Oh no. Dani is questioning Malcolm. Colette is getting into her head. 

16:37 - Okay. It’s Christmas Day. Jessica is supposed to be at home ordering people around to prepare for Christmas dinner. But instead she is at the precinct because Ainsley’s interview is causing her a lot of pain. She’s haunted by the Surgeon and Ainsley’s decided to air out the family issues to the public - thereby giving Jessica no where to hide from her pain. Also - LOVE the way Gil walks in to the room. He knows Jessica is going to come to him with a slightly manic, half-baked plan and/or theory. He’s stressed. He’s in a bad mood. He’s worried about Malcolm and he can’t handle another manic Whitly right now. 

17:20 - Gil doesn’t act surprised that Martin chloroformed Malcolm. When did Gil find out? I would’ve payed good money to see that. Also - how selfless is this dude? He’s clearly an emotional mess right now but he stops everything to try and comfort Jessica. He can’t help but be concerned about her. There are sparks here. Check out the way he holds her hands. Check out the soft look that he gives her.

18:25 - All I’m going to say is that when it comes to Malcolm and Jessica - the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

19:35 - JT talked to Dani about Malcolm’s date. He was so concerned about Malcolm that he called Dani because he knows they’re close. Do you think they told Gil?!? Or did Malcolm tell Gil?! Gil has to know. Right? 

19:50 - Malcolm, sweetheart. No. Honey, you’re not broken. Look how sad Dani is. She wants to help him. She can see how deep his depression is. This is honestly so concerning. When someone says something like this, sincerely, with that much pain in their eyes - just take them to see a doctor or just have someone stay with them. Please. They need supervision. They might be a danger to themselves. 

20:02 - Ever notice how a lock of Malcolm’s hair falls into his face when his mental and/or physical state starts to get seriously unhinged.

20:46 - Oh. My. Goodness. That Christmas ornament is precious. Look at how happy and cute baby Malcolm and baby Ainsley are. 

21:15 - This is such a good conversation. Usually Jessica is overprotective, overbearing, and somewhat controlling when it comes to her children. However, Jess is totally justified in what she says to Ainsley here. It frustrates me that Ainsley is so upset about it. Ainsley really can’t see how her ambition is destroying her relationship with her family. She can’t see that the actions she’s taking to further her career are at the expense of the mental well-being of her mother and brother. 

21:45 - “You’re playing the victim.” Ouch. That was a low-blow Ainsley. It’s not true either. Your Mom is traumatized. To an extent your mother and brother are victims of the Surgeon. You are too. Your mother just wants some peace and privacy. That’s not unreasonable.

22:50 - Yikes. Has Shannon been following Malcolm? Look how scared Malcolm is. He’s so much more terrified of Shannon now that Gil isn’t with him. You know how we can be sure that Malcolm is a good person? He actually looks sympathetic towards Shannon. Upset for Shannon.  ALSO quick side note - is Malcolm holding a pie? Did he buy a pie to bring to the family Christmas dinner? Why is that making my heart melt?

25:03 - Pissed Gil is such a mood. 

26:24 - Anyone else find it concerning that Malcolm is so desperate to catch the Junkyard Killer and to get answers about that camping trip that he is willing to get in a car and go to a random garage with the ex-detective who traumatized him? Also - they have surveillance pictures of baby Malcolm? Isn’t that illegal? I didn’t think you could photograph minors like that?

28:15 - Shannon just won over Malcolm. Look at that sadness and compassion in Malcolm’s eyes. Dang. That’s kind of sweet? Shannon’s still a dick though.

29:25 - Sometimes when Malcolm starts being sincere, soft, and supportive - I swear I’m watching him channel Gil. 

30:02 - Anyone else think it’s weird that they left the car running outside with the headlights on? Just me? Ok. Carry on.

30:11 - How poetic that John Watkins is near the end of the list, alphabetically speaking, so it’s one of the last names they check.

30:50 - Malcolm looks downright terrified when Shannon shows him his gun. 

31:35 - haha Gil is so exhausted here. Look at him when Bright hangs up. Gil’s like, “Of course. What did I expect? I can’t control this man-child. Please remind me why I love him before I do something I regret.”

31:50 - This is Granny immediately strikes me as really weird. Like more than just regular nutty old-lady weird. 

33:10 - Look how uncomfortable Malcolm looks around Matilda. He’s interested in John’s childhood and he’s still working the case but he’s clearly freaked out by Granny over here. 

34:39 - Malcolm’s eyes are looking hella manic again.

34:50 - OMG. hahaha Malcolm looks horrified when Matilda pours that gravy stuff on his food. I’m shocked that he didn’t puke. 

36:00 - This photo album is...wow. Really increases the creepy factor of this case. 

38:45 - This conversation between Colette and Gil is awesome. Gil is scared. He’s trying to protect Bright but he’s also knows that he needs help. Dani and JT look scared. 

39:27 - OMG. I didn’t like Shannon but he didn’t deserve that. 

39:48 - So Matilda is kind of a serial killer too. Right? She knew her grandson was a murder and she helped him. She condoned it. She’s as bad as he is. 

40:45 - Oh Jessica is desperate. She’s totally throwing Gil under the bus here. She wouldn’t do that unless she was desperate. 

41:25 - Dani and Gil look terrified. OMG. My heart is breaking. 

42:20 - Malcolm has that knife right in front of his mother’s townhouse. So I guess Martin was lying in 1x7 when he said they bought it off the turnpike in New Jersey during their camping trip. 

So...things are getting scary for Malcolm. Thanks for hanging out Prodigies. 

[sugaandyams]

What are Koba senpai's opinions on his teammates and managers? (Opinions on personalities, skills whatever, just go wild winks winks)

This took a while hahahaha, thanks for the ask!!! :D

Third years:

Aki, captain, @starbubs -Koba had strong feelings for him even before his crush started. I mean, who wouldn’t? Aki is a cinnamon roll that must be protected (even though he’s a secret sinnamon roll); he first spot Aki and went “I must protect.” Koba admires how caring Aki is, and how he can let loose a lot (which is something Koba sometimes has trouble with unless it’s at a function like team sleepovers). Koba started crushing on him in second year, and has become the famous gay disaster we all know and love. Aki and the other third years are really the only ones who can get him to reel back if he’s ever being a troublemaker or too sassy.

“Don’t fucking curse in front of Aki-kun” -Koba to Sango

Tatsuo, ace, @tetsuyaku -Koba’s crush on Tatsuo hit him like a truck during third year. Much like with Tatsuo, Koba has protective instincts for the ace even before his crush. Whenever Tatsuo is directly sassy or sarcastic, Koba is a little taken aback because usually Tatsuo isn’t like that around the team, but he finds all Tatsuo’s remarks funny. When he starts crushing on Tatsuo, Koba notices Tatsuo’s quirks more and has to try not to stand too close to him, for fear of stuttering and blushing madly.

“Even though he can kick my ass, I must protect him”

Chihiro, manager- Koba has always liked Chihiro, she’s sassy so they get along well. Koba likes to help her with anything because she does a lot for the team. They sometimes gossip about the team, even though Koba is one of those people that claims, “I hate gossip.” He knows how to braid hair and how to do other hairstyles since he does them for his little sister’s hair whenever she has a dance recital, so many times people catch him doing Chihiro’s hair. Sometimes she’s the guinea pig for styles he wants to surprise Kotoe with.

“if I wasn’t gay, she’s the kind of girl I’d go for, because I know she’s out of my league”

Second years:

Sango, libero-, @celestisnothere -Koba thinks of them as the team’s most chaotic little shit. After the incident where they were both cleaning banners and got in touch with their emotions and serious issues, Koba feels more in touch with Sango. Even though they have a weird relationship that is half-bickering, quarter-flirting, quarter- “what the fuck are you doing, Sango,” Koba really appreciates everything that the libero has done for him.

“You thirsty hoe” -Koba whenever Sango mentions someone they find attractive

Hikari, middle blocker, @brokurooo -whenever a crash happens, Koba automatically assumes Hikari (as well as the other second years) were involved with it. And he’s usually right. He has a similar relationship with Hikari as he does with Sango, though a little more lowkey (as in, Hikari and Koba don’t bicker as much, and they don’t flirt). Thinks his hair is cool.

“Chaotic gecko with great snack tastes”

Kouki, setter, @kunimiiakiraa / @yellowwclouds -Koba finds Kouki’s humor funny, since a lot of times it’s dry and witty. Kouki is probably his favorite setter he’s had, including the team’s old setter and his middle school setters, because Kouki knows how to set really well for each person. He always makes sure Kouki (and all the kouhai) to come to him if they need anything. Whenever the second years do something really dumb, Koba will sighs and ask why Kouki didn’t stop them (but he always knows the answer). Also glasses squad for the win.

“The reasonable one of the chaotic trifecta, which doesn’t say much” -Koba about Kouki

which translates to “kinda like being the tallest dwarf” -Veronica Sawyer, Heathers musical

First years:

Duda, middle blocker, @bia-trees -a pure bean that must be protected. He melts whenever he sees Duda crafting something. Totally teared up when Duda gave the team gecko charms. Duda is pretty quiet but Koba still tries to get to know them and be a good senpai. He’s asked Duda if they’d teach him how to fold some animals to surprise Kotoe (and two other certain people later, hint hint). Also likes his dyed hair.

“I don’t know how they ended up with our mess of a team, but godspeed”

Saru, middle blocker, @ennobaka -another pure bean that must be protected. Koba finds it adorable that Saru is always scribbling about the team and when he finds out that Saru does it to help with anxiety, he makes a point of finding really cute notepads and pens/pencils to give him (gecko stationary, anyone?). After being sassed-out by Saru concerning cursing, he tries not to curse too much in front of him. Generally finds Saru adorable.

“The cutest monkey I’ve ever seen”

Yuki, manager- the third bean that must be protected. Koba smiles to himself whenever he sees Yuki’s fun socks (and totally asks where to get some because he secretly wants some). Loves Yuki’s baking because Yuki is really good at it but even if he wasn’t, Koba would still eat it because he’s a good senpai, even if he’s a tsunderes. Because Yuki looks so pure, he’s surprised whenever Yuki roasts anyone, but finds it hilarious.

“And here I thought Yuki couldn’t get any cuter” -Koba after Yuki does pretty much anything

My final thoughts: The movie, when compared to the original, does run a bit lackluster. There is something ... off ... with the voices. Something about the inflections or was it the lack of expressions on the lions. Oh god, they could have been animated better on that. 5/10 (for the expressions) But the scenery, the realism. So beautiful. 8/10 The voices, like I said, are off. But when you close your eyes, they sound good. Beyoncé was good, and no one can say otherwise. She did not bring Texas into her voice y'all, but her lilt and inflections are so distinctive it was distracting in some parts. 6/10 (for the overall voice cast)

Timon and Pumbaa remain the best. 10/10

James Earl Jones as Mufasa still sounds Majestic af. A lil tired, but hey, there could be no other. 10/10

I really wish they’d kept some of Scar’s lines like “it’s to die for,” and the infamous “SARABI!” but I guess his lines were okay. 9/10

Some additions I remember from the top of my head. Sarabi being more involved in the kingdom. 10/10 I do wish they'd given her a bigger role though. Showing how the alliance between the hyenas and Scar came to be. 10/10 I liked the mystery of the animation, but this was good in showing just how volatile the alliance really was. Showing how Nala manages to escape. 10/10 We needed this. Zazu being more brave and not being captured by Scar. 10/10 Shenzi's storyline and her beef with Nala. 10/10. Implying that Simba grew up with more friends than just Timon and Pumbaa. 10/10 In short, the additions did not detract from the story, and were actually good. 

Overall score for the movie as a whole: 8/10

I’m sorry, it just can’t beat the original (which is a 15/10) The original was the pinnacle of Disney’s Renaissance era and this remake, while good and visually stunning, was just not the experience I wanted it to be. Maybe I compared it too much to the original. Will I still rewatch it? Yes. Am I ready to lead a hellish crusade against lion poachers? Hell yes.

Lost Season 1 Reaction

Reactions are one of my new ideas for the blog expansion. I receive lots of requests to watch other shows and unfortunately I can’t write full length reviews on all of them. But that doesn’t mean I can’t watch and post some thoughts!!! Consider reactions an abbreviated review. I’m sure I’ll be playing around with format a little, so bear with me, but hopefully this another way to watch more shows and give you more great content!

First up is Lost Season 1! Let’s kind of dig in...

My History with Lost

I did not watch Lost when it aired ten years ago. Okay, that’s a lie. I watched the pilot, but it was not my first JJ Abrams show. I watched both Felicity and Alias. My primary beef with JJ Abrams is he creates great shows, but he doesn’t stick around. Invariably the show is handed off to another executive producer who doesn’t have the same vision as JJ and they run it into the ground. At the time, my husband and I were feeling particularly burned by Alias, but we still decided to watch the Lost pilot. We thought it was interesting, but we were not emotionally prepared to begin another JJ Abrams show.

That didn’t mean I wasn’t curious though! I heard all the water cooler talk over the years, but I held firm to my decision not to watch... until the finale. Yes, that’s right. I CHEATED. 

I watched the finale when it aired because I  wanted to know what the island was. I had absolutely no context for 99.99% of the things happening, 

but I understood the general ideas and managed to shed a few tears in the process. Yes, I cried over characters I did not know. Lost music is very emotional and they all seemed like very nice people.

I bumbled along in this thing we call life completely okay with my decision to read the first and last chapter of Lost until I met @callistawolf.  

She asked me to watch because it’s her favorite show, but I adamantly refused. However, during one of my many Vampire Diaries bitch-a-thons, I said I would watch Lost if she watched The Vampire Diaries (I really want her opinion on Stelena and Delena). SHE SAID YES. HAHAHAHA. I think we can all agree I made out better in terms of quality, but a deal is a deal!

And thus, my Lost journey begins. You can also follow my reactions on Twitter in my #JenWatchesLost tag.

Who Do I Love?

Hurley is everything and must be protected. 

Jack is my boy. I love me some wound-tighter-than-a-Timex-doctor-with-a-hero-complex. The whole physician thing really comes in handy. Maybe I should go to med school as like survivalist training. Nah. Too much work. Jack always knows what to do even though he has no idea what he’s doing. It’s impressive and stressful. There’s significant daddy issues too which reminds me of Oliver Queen. Also, he’s very pretty. I like the stubble. This shocks no one. Everyone knows I have a type.

I am siding with Locke in terms of philosophical debates. Faith and belief are a huge part of my life, so it doesn’t surprise me I’m agreeing with Locke whenever faith versus science is debated. There’s a lot of religious symbolism and just plain old straight-from-the-bible parallels, which is amazing to find in a prime time broadcast television show.

The dog.

Who Am I Shipping?

Jack and Kate. I typically get on board with the Plan A couple as long as the show gives me a strong storyline and evidence for why this couple should be together. I like that Jack and Kate are the flip on the bad boy/good girl trope. Kate is the “bad girl” who doesn’t believe she deserves the good guy. Jack is  protective with a a deep desire to save people. And of course, opposites attract!! She is impulsive and Jack is pragmatic. Kate runs and he digs in. They both have significant issues, but thus far they seem to bring out the best in one another. They are each broken in their own way, but my hope is their broken pieces fit together.

Jin and Sun are perfection. I thought we were going the whole abusive husband route, but they swerved right into a rainbow! Did not expect that. It’s nice to see a married couple fighting to stay together. Jin feels like he ruined Sun’s life so he has to leave the island to find help. Sun just wants Jin to stay because he is her life. Jin is learning English and Sun is wearing a bikini. These are the building blocks of an EPIC romance.

Charlie and Claire. They are already raising a baby so just get married. Locke can officiate.  

Sawyer and his sass.

Hard Pass

Boone is in love with his sister? There’s a love triangle with Boone, Shannon and Sayid? Super gross y’all.

I don’t know why, but I don’t like Michael. He bugs me.

Jack and his “I know everything about the world because science” attitude. Dude, you are on an island with a freaking polar bear. It’s possible there’s a few things you don’t know.

I was really angry at Sawyer when he didn’t tell Jack about the conversation he had with his dad. Do we get to vote people off the island? Because Sawyer would be the first to go. He’s back in my good graces now because he fessed up, but it was touch and go for awhile.

The way Kate’s childhood love died was really hokey. 

Kate and Sawyer. Sorry guys, I have yet to see Sawyer as anything other than the third point in the triangle. A triangle I don’t even think the show needs. It has plenty going on. There’s great chemistry, but she also has that with Jack. Kate and Sawyer are just too similar. Their snark is fun, but I’m not getting a “Theirs is a forever love” vibe.

I Feel All The Feels

The scene where Sawyer tells Jack about the conversation he had with his dad  before he died slayed me. When Matthew Fox cries, I cry.

Just when I started to like Boone, they killed him. And Shannon wasn’t there? Come on writers that’s just mean. It’s okay though. Smolderholder had to get a job on The Vampire Diaries and make all the money.

Shockers

LOCKE WAS PARALYZED? UMMM WHAT?

I remember people talking about the number thing and wondering what it is. Now I know what the number thing is. Except I don’t really know what the number thing is.

Locke’s dad used him for a kidney. WTF? That’s so messed up. I’d be driving past the house screaming, “Why?” too.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THEY BLEW UP THE RAFT AND TOOK WALT! WHERE IS WALT? ALKJSDLFJOIALJSDLFJSDF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fave Quote

“That thing in the woods, maybe it’s a monster, maybe it’s a pissed off giraffe, I don’t know. The fact no one is looking for us, yeah that’s weird. But I just go along with it. Good old fun time Hurley. Well guess what? Now I want some freaking answers!” (Hurley, “Numbers”)

Random Thoughts

It’s Matthew Fox from Party of Five people!!! I miss Party of Five.

The clothes from the dead people just magically fit everyone. Oh what a wonderful yet completely unrealistic plot contrivance.

Ian Somerhalder is in Lost? Did I know that? I think I did, but may have forgotten. He looks like a baby. Baby Damon is on Lost. That's some interesting cross fandoming given the Lost/TVD show switch with @callistawolf

Lost has done a pretty damn good job answering all the food, clothing and shelter questions. There’s been a lot cool and inventive ideas for tools, supplies, medicine, etc. I’m sure 95% of what Sayid does is impossible, but I believe it because he’s Sayid.

One cannot watch Lost while multitasking because all the things happen every five minutes in this show. 

Questions 

This is me shouting into the void. Don’t spoil me with answers.

When do we get to make Hurley in charge of everything?

Who won the golf game? No really. Who won?

Jack has a wife? What’s the deal with the wife?

Okay but for real what is going on with these numbers?

We don’t get to find out what’s in the hatch? What madness is that??? How the hell did you guys watched this show live & wait weeks & weeks over hiatus and not lose your mind????

[linderu]

Do you have any ocs?

ANON. YES. I AM SO HAPPY YOU ASKED.

I’ve been developing an original story for a couple of months, now. There are 5 OCs to go along with said story. I already love them so much and I feel like I’ve barely had time to work on them– they need to be fleshed out a lot more. But. Let me talk about them for a lil bit.

Aiden.

A very young teacher. In his late 20s-early 30s. Undecided on the exact age. I described him to my friend as having the aesthetics of “a warm chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven” and she drew a beautiful profile of him for me (click here to see). He has glasses, really fluffy ginger hair, freckles, and wears sweater vests over long-sleeved shirts… I love him so much…

Personality-wise: soft. His expressions are soft, and warm. He loves his research, and he loves watching his students grow. He always goes the extra mile because he’s that invested in his work & his students’ futures. Calm, confident, incredibly intelligent, and maybe a little too idealistic/naive sometimes (which I chalk up to him being only a couple years into his teaching job). He likes to tease his students, too.

His research is basically a mixture of classics studies (archaeology, ancient languages/cultures, old prophecies written in the past), magicks, and astronomy. The magic on their world is very closely tied with the stars. He teaches classical languages in which the prophecies & spell books/spell tabs concerning ancient magicks were written in. And an astronomy/history interdisciplinary class. Cool stuff.

Jasper.

Aiden’s former student. He works with Aiden as his TA, actually, as he starts his own research. Early 20s. Sleek, black, shoulder-length hair. Gray eyes. Lean. He either looks really lame or really cool, there’s not really an in-between for him. If I had to give him an aesthetic tag it would be obsidian rock.

Personality: stoic. Cool. Indifferent. He’s kind, too. Probably smarter than Aiden… he took what he learned and branched off into researching the applications of magicks. Math whiz. A little strict.

Canon fact: Aiden drinks his coffee black, or strong with a dash of cream (no sugar), whereas Jasper drinks his coffee really, really sweet. Basically dessert coffee. Their tastes in coffee are opposite to their personality types.

Enya.

One out of three of Aiden’s current students, and basically the MC of the story I’m plotting. I’m not sure what age I should put his current students at… Probably a couple years younger than Jasper, so. Mid teens? Late teens? Unsure. She has light brown hair, a little longer than shoulder length, and slightly wavy. Green eyes? (Still need to flesh her & the other two out some more). Short.

Personality: ball of sunshine. Dreams big. Strong sense of justice. Smol. Reckless. Clumsy. Overachiever. Wants everyone around her to smile. She’s suuuuper interested in Aiden’s research… to the point where she actually meddles with one of the prophecies Aiden has uncovered and gets the entire group into trouble. Hahahaha. Oops.

Calls Aiden “Ai.” Aiden calls her “En.” Their code names are letters (I, N).

Carrick.

Undecided on appearance. He’s the angry child of the group. Tsun tsun tsun tsun. Actually pretty dang smart. Enya calls him “Care” and it pisses him off because he’s the last one who wants to care about anything, dammit.

Sky.

They have long, wave hair. I have like 583495 colors in mind so I’m just going to leave it at that. Probably nonbinary. Maybe agender. Has sass. Even more cool & indifferent than Jasper. Not stoic, though. A little cynical, but has a kind heart. Mostly realistic, down to earth. Resourceful. Likes mystery novels. Looks up to Jasper a lot. Likes to tease Carrick the most to set him off. They have surprisingly good teamwork.

[t3hwh1t3p4nth3r]

Hello! I thought it would be fun if you picked your top 3 favorite Marvel Universe characters and wrote a few headcanons about each of them? I know you like Loki in particular :)

Honestly, who doesn’t like Loki?

So, I’ll start with him. 

Loki was in the pretty stereotypical little brother position throughout his whole life. He looked up to Thor a LOT, and actually still does. He always wanted to be strong like Thor and his friends, and was pretty devastated when he found out that he just wasn’t cut out for it. 

Frigga was the one who taught him magic, obviously, but she’s also the one who taught him to fight. She could see who frustrated he would get trying to learn to fight with pure strength like Thor, or Odin or The Warriors Three. So she taught him to channel his effort more into agility based fighting. 

Loki really wanted to be friends with Thor’s friends. Again, the stereotypical little brother situation. And they weren’t super accepting of him. He couldn’t always keep up with what they were doing, so they’d start to leave him behind. This is what would lead to him being sort of reserved with them (in the beginning of Thor). He doesn’t like being rejected. 

He actually is terrified that he’s never really going to be accepted anywhere. He’s a frost giant, so he thinks that rules out Asgard; He was raised as an Asgardian and murdered Laufey and tried to destroy Jotunheim, so that’s CLEARLY out; he destroyed a pretty big portion of New York and it’s clear the Avengers and SHIELD don’t like him, so Earth isn’t a good choice either. 

Deep down he does know that he brought a lot of his problems down on himself, but he doesn’t think he’s 100% to blame. Yes, he let frost giants into Asgard, but it was just a joke. Yes, he meant to get Thor in trouble, but not banished. Yes, he took over the throne while Odin was in a coma, but he WAS rightfully appointed. (deleted scene)

One thing that I really love is that in Age of Ultron, we see Clint’s safe house with his wife and kids. In the first Avengers movie, Loki tells Natasha that Clint has told him EVERYTHING. This makes me believe that Loki knew all about Clint’s wife and kids. And he left them completely alone. He didn’t even threaten them while trying to scare Natasha. He never planned to do anything to them. 

Loki probably develops at least a tiny crush on just about everyone he meets. I definitely think he has a bit of a thing for Sif, Natasha and even Jane. And I think the thing that draws him to them is the fact that all of them demonstrate a certain level of power. Sif is one of the best warriors Asgard has. Natasha is incredibly smart and a skilled fighter as well. Jane tends to lack the badass factor that the other two have, but she has a strength of will that I think Loki appreciates. She wasn’t at all afraid to walk over and slap him across the face. I think when he smirks and says “I like her” right after, he genuinely means it. 

I think this applies to men as well. Loki gives zero f**ks about gender or sex or any of that. If your powerful in some way and he thinks you’re interesting, that’s good enough. I think Loki is totally pansexual. And when I say he gives zeros f**ks I MEAN he gives zero f**ks. (In the original mythology, Loki had shapeshifted into a mare and had sex with a stallion. He then gave birth to the eight legged horse, Slepnir (may have spelled that wrong. sorry) which Odin then uses as his personal steed)

He and Tony would actually get along really well if they weren’t trying to kill each other. The sass would be awesome. 

That leads me to my next favorite character:

Tony

I do think Tony actually likes Loki and wants to get to know him more. We see at the end of Avengers that Tony smirks when Loki sits up and says “I’ll have that drink now”. He clearly appreciates Loki’s humor because, honestly, it’s pretty similar to his own. 

Tony totally talks to himself all the time and it concerns JARVIS often. JARVIS has responded to questions from Tony before only to have the man say “Shhhh! No one was talking to you.”

Pepper has definitely walked away from him while he was talking about a project and he didn’t notice. 

I feel like Tony kind of wants to be a dad but is terrified that he’ll screw up. I think that’s also a big reason he doesn’t like committing to a relationship. 

Tony has an inferiority complex big time. Especially around Steve. He knows Steve is a great guy and he trusts him, but he always feels trapped in Steve’s shadow. “That’s the guy my dad never shut up about?” Tony heard all about Steve while he was growing up. Steve could hold Howard’s attention and had earned his respect. Tony never felt like he amounted to anything in his father’s eyes. He wasn’t a Super Soldier. 

He gets really confused when he hears people talking about things Stark’s have done. None of it sounds familiar to him. Then he finds out that they’re actually talking about Game of Thrones and he just groans. 

He really wants to run tests on Mjolnir, but Thor won’t let him. Mostly because he has stuff to do, so he can’t just sit around waiting for Tony to tell him to move Mjolnir somewhere else in the lab. 

And finally:

Doctor Stephen Strange. 

(It’s kinda cruel, but I really appreciate his fall from grace. Whether he accepts it or not, it really does force him to humble himself a bit.)

I’m convinced that he just slip into the astral plane to mess with people when he gets bored. Like, he’ll move things around or float through people or just jump out and scare them. 

He is 10000% a card counter. He cheats at card games if there’s no real consequences for doing so. Like a game with friends or something. 

He is a total “Do as I say, not as I do” guy. 

I feel like he’d have a really difficult time talking to children. He’d be trying to explain something to them, they wouldn’t listen, which he would obviously find frustrating. Then they’d ask him a super random question that really has no reasoning behind it. And then I feel like his brain would just sort of stop. “How do I deal with this child?” But then the question would bother him for the next week or so, because he’d try to figure out an answer. 

He analyzes the hell out of everything he watches and reads. People hate watching shows with him because he always comments saying “That’s actually not practical at all” or “No, you moron, that is NOT how you should treat that injury”. 

I imagine he talks in his sleep. I don’t know why or what he’d talk about. I just feel like he would. 

The others totally call him Mister Doctor sometimes just to irritate him. They especially do it when he’s starting to be a prick. 

I think that’s it for now. Also, there’s clearly a pattern with my favorite characters. They’re all snarky and smart, but assholes… I’m sure that says something about me. Hahahaha.

[18tpaz]

3,4,6

3. which character are you actually most like?

TBH I think i'm a Jyn Erso, someone who appears a little too plain/boring and quiet, but actually has a lot of things going on in her head? And she's just *tired* of everything. But when she's suddenly driven, it's like... no one can stop her! 

Also, in terms of character/behavioral traits (see: INTP) I AM SO GALEN WALTON ERSO. Like... messy, socially awkward, quiet geek who also needs a Lyra Erso in his/her life? Lol, so me. 

But sometimes when I get that mood of being ambitious and overly analytical/tactical like an Imp officer, I feel like I am channeling my inner Rae Sloane. Even Thrawn. Lolololol

Legends/EU permitting, I still think I am most like Jedi Exile/Meetra Surik (or at least my headcanon version of Exile lol)

4. what headcanon will you defend to the death?

Anakin and Leia (and maybe to some extent, Rey) have the same style of leadership (see: TCW!Anakin and Bloodline!Leia) - rash, courageous, excessively passionate, very open to bending rules, defiant, frank (aka Skywalker Sass), unusually strong attachment to friends/comrades, feels out of place in the incumbent system, likes to work on things hands-on. If you've read the old LegendsEU Thrawn trilogy, Leia claims herself to be a Lady Vader. I sorta dig that?? 

Inversely, a big chunk of Luke's character takes after Padmé (and maybe Ben also?)

Also: Poe has a teeny tiny crush on Rey and vice versa

And: Rebelcaptain and Kanera are def real

And: All Resistance kids are basically Leia's (and by extension, Han's) adopted children (therefore Rey is already an Organa-Solo ;) ). You kno what. The Resistance is also one big Leia/Han fanclub.

And: Chirrut and Baze are my dads

And: Finn will become Rey's padawan because for some reason, Luke became lazy (I think that it'll be a fun dynamic to explore very close friends/peers as a fun, adventurous Jedi master/apprentice duo? Idk)

6. what planet would you most like to live on?

Scarif because I'm lazy (see: General Ramda) and I live in a tropical country with those kind of beaches hahahaha

my opinion on; OLD MAN, sir

character in general: Leonard Boney McCoy. in all of the starfleet personnel, he was one of those i just couldn’t rp because of everything that clashes. while he has a strong sense of SASS ( which would be the ONLY thing relatable ), he’s always on the edge of his seat caring for others, & while he’ll put his life on the line for most, that doesn’t mean he wants to die ( as opposed to OTHERS ). & that sort of dynamic is hard for me to grasp, & therefore i look up to him ( plus – DEFOREST YOOOO )how they play them: NGL THIS ONE OF MY MAINS ( albeit on my other blog ) because they are horrendously great at rping out this grouch to the point i’m just – you’re bones to be now & foreverthe mun: is stuck with me forever no matter where i go i will hunt u down because we are a valid triumvirate ok? ok. besides that, they’re not only amazing writers, but super easy to get along with!!

[malspinningyarns]

Potentially dangerous territory, but: Snape for the character ask?

This could be very interesting…

Why I like them: He does know his loyalties and keeps his promises.    Ultimately, he is a very complex character and I appreciate complexity.  He’s got sass.

Why I don’t: He’s kind of a dick.  Like I could go into it, but a lot of behavior isn’t great- especially the Slytherin favoritism.  It’s a bit strong. 

Favorite episode (scene if movie): It’s hard to say, but I do really like his small scene with Umbridge in Order of the Phoenix when she’s questioning all the professors and he sasses her.

Favorite season/movie: It’s either Half-Blood Prince or Deathly Hallows, though I’m leaning towards Deathly Hallows

Favorite line: “Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter.  ‘Ghosts are transparent.’“

Favorite outfit: Hahahaha, favorite outfit…

OTP: don’t have one

Brotp: Him and Dumbledore

Head Canon: He drinks his teas strong and black.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t have a strong opinion on him?  There’s some people that HATE him.   Others LOVE him.  I’m just like, he’s an asshole, but he has his moments.  And I feel like being in the middle on him is fairly unpopular.  (I do love Alan Rickman’s performance of him, even if he’s way too old for the part)

A wish: I wish he had a healthier way to get over Lilly or fell in love with someone else who would appreciate him.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Him hooking up with any students.

5 words to best describe them: Droll, intelligent, passionate, sarcastic, complicated

My nickname for them: I don’t really have one except” Snape, Snape, Severus Snape

[t3hwh1t3p4nth3r]

Best Friend day just passed, and I was wondering what your favorite best friend duo or trio is and why you like them?

Well, no fandom was specified. So, I’ll give a variety! Hahahaha.

I do have multiple friendships that I love within certain fandoms, so some categories may have a few. :)

Harry Potter

Draco and Blaise. 

I just think there would be SO MUCH sass between them and it’s beautiful. I tend to think that Blaise is one of the few people the Draco views as an equal. And Blaise also doesn’t put up with Draco’s shit like everyone else does. I also imagine that they’re both pretty argumentative and both get stubborn about their side of the argument being right. Many arguments probably end with one of them just saying “What the fuck ever. This is stupid anyway.”

Luna, Ginny and Neville

I just really love the dynamic between the three of them. I think they have a pretty good balance between them. Neville is definitely the one that brings the most stability to the group. Luna and Ginny get along really well and come up with some awesome ideas, but they tend to get a little too intense and unrealistic at times. Neville helps to pull them back in a bit so the idea can come back to the world of “possible”.

Albus and Scorpius

SO. FLIPPING. CUTE!!!!!!!! I do think the depictions of them in “Cursed Child” were pretty accurate. I love that Scorpius is the friend that will tell you a million times that “This is a bad idea!” but, in the end, he will still end up joining you in the bad idea. I think Albus needs that little voice that Scorpius provides of “Think this through. This is really dangerous and stupid”. I also just like thinking about how Draco and Harry have to figure out how to deal with their sons being besties.  (I also completely think that, down the line, Albius/Scorbus will 10000% be a thing)

Harry and Hermione

I really appreciate their friendship so much. I love that they’re always super willing to help each other out. But I also love that, after years of it, Hermione starts snapping at Harry and Ron for always asking for help with homework instead of just doing it themselves. What I love with Hermione and Harry’s friendship, though, is the fact that that’s really all it is: a really good friendship. They trust and care about each other a lot, but it doesn’t have to end in them being in a relationship. (that’s why I didn’t include Ron in this one)

The Marauders

I mean… Do I even need to explain this one? It’s the Marauders. This really is more about Remus, Sirius and James, not so much including Peter. I feel like Peter was just sort of that tag-along friend that was really only hanging out with the other three because they were cool. At the same time, though, I can imagine him contributing to the planning of the pranks that they all pulled. I definitely see him and Remus as being involved more in the planning phases, where Sirius and James were definitely the ones to actually execute the pranks. It would probably take Remus an entire school year to finish one book that he was reading for fun, because Sirius and James always interrupted him with one thing or another. I just like that, aside from Peter, the friendship they had was as true as I think it could possibly be. I mean, Sirius was going to commit straight up murder after finding out Peter lead to James’ death. 

Attack on Titan

Armin and Eren

I love Armin’s friendship with literally anyone. Because Armin is completely genuine with everyone, I think. He tells things like he sees them, but not in a harsh way. He doesn’t exactly sugar coat things, but he does try to make whatever he says as easy to accept as he can. I do think this is particularly useful with Eren. I also really like the Eren is able to snap Armin out of his thoughts of “I’m useless. Everyone else is so strong. Why am I here?” Eren sees the value in Armin and makes him see it too, which is pretty awesome.

Levi and Hanji

I think they are friends, just not the typical friends. I think they have a really good understanding of each other. Even though it may not always seem like it, they’re on the same wavelength. They know how brutal the other can be, but it doesn’t change anything. In fact, they instead choose to be brutal together (torture scene. Much excite) Their skill sets pair really nicely at times and together they’re able to accomplish whatever it is that they need to do. 

Lord of the Rings

Legolas and Gimli

I love them so much. I really appreciate the story with them, because they start off not liking each other because elves and dwarves have just never been great at getting along. But they grow to understand each other and they can joke with each other. “Shall I get you a box?” I also really like that, in the books, Legolas and Gimli continue to journey around Middle Earth together once the quest is complete. And I think that’s awesome and adorable. It’s also a little heartbreaking, because Legolas is immortal. So he stays in Middle Earth until both Aragorn and Gimli have died. It’s only once they’re gone that he gets on the boat to go be with the rest of the elves and its super sad but cute. 

Rick and Morty

Rick and Birdperson

This is one of my favorites. If for no other reason, because Rick says that Birdperson is his best friend. This is coming from a man who says that everything is pointless and who generally just doesn’t seem to see the value in relationships. He even makes that point in his speech at Birdperson’s wedding saying essentially “I’m an asshole and everyone is super fucking stupid. Relationships are stupid. But if Birdperson is happy, then I’m happy too”. 

Black Butler 

Finny, Meyrin, and Bardroy

They’re like the three stooges and it’s beautiful. They’re all such screw ups when it comes to their servant jobs around the manor. But they all really care about Ciel and really care about each other. And they may not be great servants, but they make an EPIC secret service. (which, lets be real: that’s the actual job Sebastian brought them to the manor to do) It’s just great getting to watch them interact with each other. And I love how much Meyrin and Finny look up to Bard. 

Merlin

Arthur and Merlin

I love them to pieces. I also totally think that Arthur knew that Merlin was a wizard, he just really didn’t want to accept it because he knew that would mean Merlin would be put to death. I just love that Merlin is the only one that can get away with all the sass he gives Arthur. Arthur needs it, frankly. Their relationship is definitely closer than “master and servant”. They’re way more into the “best friends” category with how they act and talk with each other. 

Sherlock

Sherlock and John

So pure. they really need each other to balance out. they certainly drive each other crazy at times, but that’s good for both of them. It forces them to realize that there must be some sort of problem and it forces them to grow. I also really love Sherlock’s line of “I don’t have friends. I’ve only got one”. 

The list goes on, but this is starting to get long.
