i miss writing donald shaw so much. it's wild that i forget sometimes that in canon he really is just an asshole who works at taco bell. like when i see a gif/clip of that bit i just can't help but smile and almost tear up a bit because i'm like HE GAVE UP EVERYTHING FOR HER... AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW!!! writing my most recent fic i honestly had to stop myself from somehow making it about him, a little bit, because I'm like: the saddest part isn't even that maeve died and both elena and annie lost her... the saddest part is maeve died thinking her dad didn't love her!!!! donald shaw you are my most unexpected favorite character i can't believe the only canonical facts about you are that you are a gambling addict who owns a taco bell franchise location
#i just really wanted to make a glittery gif of donald shaw for weeks i cant explain why#his power is so real. like. i honestly thought of him as an asshole when I started writing fic#like in the process of writing TMDOMS. well#it's obviously intention how it's selective flashbacks over time that change ur opinion but like#it was also ME changing my OWN opinion of him over time#from the start i did know i wanted him to be more than just the one-line asshole he is (understandably) in the show#but my initial vision was like 'an asshole who at least told the truth in that one tv interview'#but then the more i envisioned scenes of maggie's childhood.#the more i was like. this man... is... a hero...#and loves his daughter.... so much...#he is not EQUIPPED to give her everything he needs but he sure TRIES...!#(and fails a lot)#(he's still an asshole a bunch)#but he LOVES HER!#he's just not good at SAYING or SHOWING it...#cuz maeve had to get that from SOMEWHERE!!!!!#i love donald because i realized he is just like maeve. maeve is just like him.#donald shaw stans rise up.#donald shaw#queen maeve#yes im putting this in the tag its bait at this point#for people to be like 'wtf is wrong with that person' and then maybe they just HAVE to read my fic to try to understand the foolishness#and then THEY might love donald shaw TOO#that's the real endgame.#queen maeve sp#*

Just finished the series finale
Man. Umbrella Academy would be so good if it was good.
#It was so bad I'm doubting my memory of the first two seasons being good or at least fun#Wtf was Klaus' entire side story it did nothing and went nowhere#Every line of dialogue Allison spoke was nails on a chalkboard who wrote her lines#“Oh you're so right honey we need to end the world because ????? The script said so love ya babe”#Luther and Diego did nothing but waste time#Lilah and Five were the only ones with an arc worth exploring and congrats to the writers for making the most convoluted age gap ever#No memorable music selections it has one decent music scene while season one and two had several#I'm angry!!! I'm so angry!!! I'm so tired of stuff that has the potential to be good being so shit!!!!!#THEY ALL GOT NEW POWERS AND IT DIDN'T MATTER IT DIDN'T FUCKING MATTER THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AAAUUUGHHHHH

romantic killer ; blue lock edition ᝰ.ᐟ


#00 WTF HAPPENED TO MY GAME??
a/n ; visualization for the potato-shaped wizard thing at the end, please read the author’s note i beg :3 hope you enjoy the first chapter!
Your eyes flicker from the digital clock in the corner to the desk in front of you, eagerly waiting until the clock strikes the minute you can leave this place. quickly packing your backpack and running over to the shoe lockers, switching your shoe schools to your normal shoes, you run out the door. yelling a goodbye to your closest friend hiori who barely bats an eye at your behavior, as he was already used to it.
the run home wasn’t unpleasant in the slightest with the weather looking good today, not too sunny but not too cloudy either. unfortunately, you didn’t stop and bask in the weather as you had other priorities to attend to. you hurry on home, hurriedly slipping off your shoes and greeting your mom. the reason for why you were such in a rush? you had just gotten a new box set of some cheap and random games, and you were very excited to try them out. it had been a while since you had played something new, and trying out new things was good!
taking off your uniform, you slip on one of your favorite pajama sets, the top being a t-shirt with the face that of a cat and the pajama pants being that same color palette but the cat face being a pattern instead. right on cue, your cat walks on by and snuggles into you. “ hi kitty!!!!” you grin, already being overwhelmed with cuteness aggression as you pet it.
your cat then decides to walk away from the ear scratches you were giving it, in order to go to some random part of your room. you smile to yourself before looking over at the selection of games in front of you, you pick some random game and insert it into the game console. it loads up on the tv in your room, and the game’s introduction starts playing. as the game downloads, you take out a big selection of snacks, picking up a bunch of delicious chocolate and stuffing it in your mouth.
you click ‘start’ using the respective button on your controller and the game’s opening sequence starts as a girl in uniform runs to school — a piece of bread in her mouth as she sprints past a corner, before accidentally running into a boy. some boy that looks like he would be the ‘highschool heartthrob’ bumps into her, cherry blossoms falling in slow motion as he holds out his hand for her to grab.
taking a bite out of the chocolate bar in your hand, your eyebrow raises in judgement as you watch the scene on the tv. this is NOT the game on the cover. you thought to yourself as, you check over the cover for the cd and sure enough, it is not the same game. the graphics are crap too, why are their faces like that??
oh well, no biggie — you figured as you throw the game cover beside you. you take your eyes off from the screen for just a split moment — with the intention of grabbing another chocolate bar — when something starts to.. break out of the tv screen?
the tv screen itself contorts a bit as a 3d potato looking thing breaks out. it struggles to tear free and all you can do is scream at the sight. what the fuck is that?!
the creature potato.. thing?? has now broken out successfully, straightening itself up as you try to steady yourself. the round potato creature had a small wand and a wizard hat as it tries to speak. its voice cracks and coughs before exclaims in a high pitched, “ fanfare please!” it grins at you while confetti falls in the background before dissipating into thin air. “ you’ve been selected today as subject one! so congratulations!” it shoved its wand into your face.
“ i’m bachira! a wizard who grants all your dreams!” it giggles as your jaw drops, “w-what? a wizard????” you reply as you just try to make sense of what’s infront of you. the wizard potato, who you kinda forgot was named bachira, says that it’s sort of hard to explain and to just for now read what’s on the screen carefully — as it points to the tv with text quickly rolling by.
you watch as the text goes on and on before you lose your temper and yell, “ what’s with all the legalese in a game about magic?! can’t you just summarize and tell me in a few sentences!” the potato thing twirls and spins around as it explains, “ we wizards come all the way from the magic world to help people with no romantic experiences, like you!”
you look at it weirdly, groaning while replying with a “ nuh uh, count me out!” it ignores your response as it shoves itself near your face and decides to start questioning you, “ sooooo, when was the last time your heart throbbed for a guy?” you think for a moment as your eyes light up, “ like literally half of the jjk cast or L from death note??”
“those are anime characters, right?” the wizard twirls and spins around in the air, “ you’re in high school! it’s about time to face reality and to quit dreaming!” your face irks up as you respond, a bark in your voice, “ are you not the wizard who’s supposed to grant my dreams?!”
it once again ignores your words as it continues, “ but.. i’m here now, so there really is no need to worry! my purpose here is to grant girls like you, who reject all chances of love, a chance to experience real romance through a real-life dating game!!”
you grimace, “ sorry but i don’t get a word you’re saying.” the tiny wizard reaffirms you and says, “ well it seems like you have no issue with dating sims, as long as they’re made for women right? so, as the selected test subject, you’ll get to experience living the life of the heroine in the game i programmed, romantic thriller!”
you whine, “ i don’t need your cliché stuff! do you know how many dating games i’ve finished?? those are more than enough for me!” it dismisses your words with, “ yeah but, just imagine it, okay yn? just imagine living your life, surrounded by hot guys who are, you know, actually real! even your heart would flutter, don’t you agree?”
your face reddens as the blood rushes inside your veins, “ i-in real life??” you seriously start to consider this offer but you shake your head, “ no but i already have the love of my life, my cat, in my life! i do not need a plethora of hot guys in my life!”
“ speaking of.. where is my cat?” you start to look around, “ kitty? kitty! psst, psst! where are you kitty!” you call for it before the wizard takes your attention back to itself, “ erm, excuse me? attention over here, yn! in order to keep you focused on your romantic relationships — yours truly has decided to take away your three greatest desires: your chocolate, favorite video game, and most importantly, your cat!”
your jaw drops at this information, “ t-there’s no way right?” you mutter as you run around your room, frantically searching through the cabinets filled with game covers, opening it to find.. biscuits? the horrible bland ones too?! you couldn’t believe your eyes and you quickly searched through the other games, even the newly bought ones. and sure enough, they were all replaced by those bland biscuits that don’t pair well with anything! fuck.
you stutter, “ w-what about my chocolate?!” you dash to the plastic bag full of various chocolate sweets, tearing open a pocky box to see.. just the damn sticks?! with no chocolate on them! the same goes for the other treats that had chocolate coating, and your chocolate bars and such were just.. gone! “ the delicious parts are all gone!”
“ well, you shouldn’t eat too much chocolate! it’s bad for your skin!” the stupid potato giggled, licking its lips rid of the chocolate around its mouth. it. ate. all. your. chocolate. and so fast too? what the hell!
“ so, do you get it now? what it means to put away your three greatest wants?” you angrily respond, “ you monster!” you whine as it continues, “ hey, you gotta lose something to gain something! did you seriously think you would get a paradise of total hotties for free? there’s no prize without sacrifice, after all!”
before you get the chance to berate it more, it keeps on with the yapping, “ you see, if you think about it — i’m just your everyday gentle-hearted wizard! i really do have your best interest at heart, this is the only way to get you to prioritize cuties over your cat!”
in order to explain why it chose to remove those things specifically, bachira continues with, “ listen here — whenever you get lonely, you most likely turn to chocolates over a boyfriend, right? instead of your free time being used on going on dates, you choose to spend it playing video games instead! so now do you get it? do you see just how dangerous your three greatest desires are for your romantic relationships?”
“ hey, this isn’t fair! please bachira, i can’t survive a day without them! i can live without guys okay, but i really can’t go about my day without those things!!” before you can continue the begging, bachira smacks you in the face with its wand and says, “ see this is exactly why you were chosen! plus, we’re here to solve japan’s extremely low birth rate problems!”
“ hey! the damn birth rate problems?? is that what this is all about?!” you complain, before the wizard taps you on the nose with its wand, “ oh look! you didn’t read the fine print on the legalese properly! either way, i’ll be your assistant for your romantic attractions to the best of my ability. for love, the future of japan, and most importantly — my salary!!”
“ hey! leave that last part out, what the hell!” after that, bachira says some random thing — saying that it needs to go back to the magic world because it forgot to turn off the oven or something? — and departs after saying, “ anyway, until next time yn! bon voyage!” it frins as it prolongs the ‘yage’ sound. as the wizard disappears with a small poof effect, you sprint out of your room to find your mom in the living room.
“ mom! wheres the cat?!” you desperately ask as she snacks on some food, “ oh, it’s right over there.” she takes a nibble of her snack before pointing to the shelf, your cat laying on the very top.
“ hey kitty, kitty!! come down, i wanna see your cute face!” you call to it, jumping up and down as the doorbell rings. you pay it no mind, too distracted to hear the doorbell, as your mom opens the door. “ hey, i’m home.” your dad greets, kissing your mom on the cheek before he announces, “ i know this is sudden, but my company just told me i’ll be transferred to the united states! and i want you to come with me.” your dad tells your mom, as her eyes light up and she replies with, “ it’s always been my childhood dream to live abroad!
taking your eyes away from the cat, you run to your parents, “ hey, what about me?!” you question as your mom answers, “ well, yn sweetie, you have school! we can’t bring you–” she smiles as if she didn’t just tell you that she’s basically abandoning you.
“ it’ll only be a bit, like two or three years. plus, you’re grown! i’m sure you can handle to take care of the house for that time.” your dad continues, “ also we’re taking the cat!”
your hands grip onto your hair, hold on! things are happening way too fast! you think to yourself as your parents agree that they should start packing right her away. your thoughts continue overflowing, and dad, aren’t you a post-office employee?! why are you being relocated!

a/n ; hehe first chapter is done! this would’ve been longer but like.. it’s getting too long for my liking and yeah. also how are we feeling about bachira being riri? (a question for those who’ve watched romantic killer) also, if you need help visualizing what bachira actually looks like, this is what he’s meant to look like.

the first time i saw this image was before i even read hiori's light novel and i remembering wondering what could possibly be the context of this image bc wtf is going on in the background and foreground LMAO like why are they in a tunnel??
and then upon finally finding out, it didn't make it any better jdfhgjhgsfjdgf [continued below]

bc what do u mean this is Krasu discovering Hiori was stalking him home after practice one day and purposefully lead him into a dark tunnel to catch Hiori off-guard and when asked for an explanation, all hiori can say is “No, uhm… I just wanted to know more about Karasu-kun’s ways.” and then they start flirting...............
sidenote, this is one of my faveeee passages from the light novel (see full passage attached at the end of this post), hiori is just so sweetly awkward and he just can't help himself when it comes to Karasu so he stumbles his way through this interaction and earnestly asks Karasu questions
to which Karasu is understandably confused as fuck at first sjhgfjhsgf but also hopelessly endeared bc he can tell Hiori's coming from a place of complete sincerity and genuine intrigue in Karasu as a person, he's just got zero idea how to go about it in a normal way LMAO
which is also why Karasu gives him honest responses, admitting to his own shortcomings and all Hiori can say is that he thinks Karasu's perfect jdfhsjfjhsgfjdgfj
and then Hiori's very happy to learn that karasu also plays videogames and Karasu's hitting him with philosophy for whatever reason* but hiori's eating it up and getting happy at finding yet another common ground with Karasu, despite how overall different they are
*(i have some ideas about why that might be, i'll make another post about this in the near future!)
The final line of this passage is just ughhhhhh (/pos) because Hiori just likes him so damn much, and it manifests in this bottomless curiosity. Hence why this scene starts with Hiori, being new to these feelings (genuine interest in another person) and being ill-equipped to deal with them in socially acceptable ways LMAO, attempting to follow Karasu all the way home to satiate this burning desire to know him. Know him how he seems to know Hiori.
I just adore how Hiori doesn't even try to hide it either; mainly bc I don't think there's an excuse/lie good enough to explain away his actions here lmao. He's just a painfully open book. Karasu with his keen observation skills can pierce right through most people's facades and right into their core, reading them with wonderful precision which is what makes his soccer playstyle so difficult to play against (as we saw through Isagi's experience in their first match together during third selection). But at this point, he doesn't even have to employ this skill of his because he just has to poke Hiori a little and he'll spill his guts out without hesitation. And here's the thing - he's happy to do so! No shame. No attempts to hide the embarassing parts. He just melts LMAO
And Karasu is also never really put-off by it. In fact, he willingly indulges it, and proceeds to share his own weaknesses and hobbies and the philosophies behind them. He willingly gives Hiori a glimpse into himself, his life.
Also, him going from scared to smirking at the chance to tease Hiori for observing him so intensely lately - only to then try to pass it off as being annoying and creepy yet still going on to indulge Hiori's personal questions is making me dizzy LMAO that's very Karasu of him tbh, all this push-and-pull. He has to compensate every pull (acts of bridging the gap between them) with a push ('idiot', 'creepy', 'annoying', 'what kind of question is that?' and answering it sincrely anyway, responding to hiori's 'you're perfect' with rationalisations of why he's not).

Tw: graphic child death
It's Christmas night, it's been a busy day. Thought I'd end it with some fanfic. Scrolling through my prefered fandoms I find one tagged only "post canon", "Christmas" and "daddy kink". The short summary sounds cute: a new lover taken home for the holidays.
Imagine my shock when the very first scene ends with the main character's infant child being vrry graphically (descriptions of blood splatter) executed by gun shot at the hands of some random henchmen.
Ok, the author did select "choose not to use archive warnings". And the movie is about a young man trying to get out of his crime family, but even the movie isn't that violent and certainly nothing as extreme as this. If you tagged "canon typical violence" it would not have covered it. And, just... if you're not going to use warnings and still tag "daddy kink" and "Christmas" but not anything indicating graphic murder of an infant... wtf?!
Merry fucking Christmas I guess.

Oof.

Wtf?!? That yelan bit…. My emotions are 🥲🥲😭. It was so bittersweet that my heart has pain now. Beautifully written. Please excuse me as I cry over yelan for a good while
(Have a good day!)
hello !! aaa i’m so glad u liked the yelan piece, i’ve had it marinating in my brain for a while now (since the ningguang piece lol). i tried my best to make the buildup subtle by using tenses (scenes with reader are only in past tense) and some foreshadowing that would only make sense if you’ve read yelan’s lore (presence of 2 bracelets. yelan loses the other bracelet to pantalone iirc during her tenure as ningguang’s agent, after the deaths of her team and in this fic, you). another little tidbit i slid in there are the white chrysanthemums, which according to google symbolise death or departure in select asian cultures. there was also the scene with the florist which sort of set the stage for an “everything is not as it seems” moment as well. tldr all the little details made it super fun to write and i’m so glad it managed to make you feel something !!! that’s my ultimate goal as a writer :) thanks for reading !!!

{Entrance Ceremony}
...is that the freaking Dark Mirror????
Our dear protagonist felt their heart rate slow like in those Roblox horror game death scenes.
"State thy name."
"You... Hah??"
Speck, don't you rush me-
The eyes on the magic floating mask in the mirror narrow.
"State thy name."
The voice booms again, with a hidden underbite of annoyance.
She looks across the room for the reactions of everyone else witnessing this. He feels strongly compelled to gesture to the mirror with a 'wtf' open arms blame point.
They turn back to the mirror. "You didn't let me finish... My name is..." Yes, boy, build the nonexistent dramatic tension-
"Yuuha..." That's a very pretty lace design, I wonder when he got that? "Swirls. Yuuha Swirls." She repeats a second time to put it together smoothly and actually judge whether it sounds okay.
"...Yuuha Swirls..."
Yuh?
"The nature of this soul is... Unknown to me."
Well, duck-
"Formless. Nameless. Dim reflection. Magic lacking thus forestalls. That mortal form hath no connection to these dormitory halls."
Wow, rude.
Everyone in the Ceremony room starts gossiping and whispering obnoxiously, pointed stares aimed straight at the person before the mirror.
Crowley, the weird bird man with selective hearing asks the mirror to repeat himself, even though the entire room was dead silent for the big reveal.
And then the mirror dunks on her again! What the hell, what's this dude got against him??
Then Grim the little raccoon-weasel monster speaks up and decided to present to everyone how much better a candidate he is to become a student in my place.
And sets the entire freaking place on fire. Like, Dabi hot as hellfire flames kinda inferno.
'Yuuha' ducks out of the way and retreats to a space where the flames don't reach as well.
"Help! I'm on fire here!!" A white haired, red eyed student calls out. He runs around in cartoonish circles and non-helpfully to the boy dark chocolate haired boy next to him who's trying to help him put his butt flame out.
"Stop drop and roll!" Yuuha instructs over the chaos of the moment, "Or at least take off the robe and stamp out the flames!"
Yuuha steps to the side and watches as a pale lavender haired boy with a voice of a used car salesman steps up to stop the little menace that is Grim. A red haired boy with a serious British accent also joins in, spouting about rule-breaking. Which is incredibly fair considering, when ever has it been allowed to set a place with so many kids on fire with?
Granted, I though this was a cult at first. But the robes are actually pretty comfy. Still, I don't understand how this little monster thinks he'll get in by destroying school property and possibly causing grievous bodily harm to who would be his fellow peers if accepted.
"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD." The red haired boy exclaims with such bite Yuuha almost physically recoils. A heart shaped collar poofs into existence, tightly locked around Grim's neck. "The Queen of Heart's Rule 23: One must never bring a cat to a formal affair." The boy recites sternly, meeting eyes with me in a glance and glaring at my supposed recklessness.
"Well, good thing he ain't a cat." I muse with heavy sarcasm, returning his glare with an unimpressed eyebrow raise. "Besides, I only just met him roundabout an hour ago." I slowly rotate my neck so I can stare at Crowley as he scrambles to defend himself for not listening to me.
...This is going to be a wild ride, isn't it?

To be honest Denis scenes freaked me out so much in the book. Like, Armand, brother, wtf are you doing with that child. Why is he here. And didn't Armand say something about being Denis's slave? I'm choosing to believe it was just about child's blood tasting better and nothing else. Or maybe it was just Anne wanting some kind of mirrorring character for Claudia and being really fucking weird about describing children
Mhh no iirc it is Claudia who states that Denis is Armand‘s slave and that he is drawing out his life.
But in any case Anne… didn’t hold back - this is Louis feeding on Denis:

… 😬
Yeah.
Something like “Human snack pet with benefits“.
(Anne was many things but most assuredly never afraid of going the distance.)
In the books the vampires later have “snack dungeons“ again(!) where they put criminals they hunt for more easy feeding (not kidding, they put them there for the younger ones to select and feed on etc). Given the show has introduced “The Farm“ already it will be very interesting to see what that turns out to be.

A while back I got into a new "fannish" interest that's a little unusual for me and I feel kind of embarrassed and cringy about it and I want to talk about that.
I've always had some interest in reading about morbid shit like tragic or gruesome murders/accidents/disasters/etc, so it's not too surprising that at some point I would get interested in the Titanic story. That's not the embarrassing part, plenty of people are interested in historical shit like that. What's embarrassing is the main factor driving this interest, which of course was love for a particular historical figure who became my most recent blorbo. Or more accurately, the mythologized/fictionalized version of this character as depicted in the various movies and other dramatizations (of which I've now seen quite a few).
The blorbo in question is Thomas Andrews, one of the designers of the Titanic who went on the voyage and did not survive. In real life he was apparently one of the first people to realize the ship was actually going to sink and informed the captain, which always makes for a dramatic scene in the movies (complete with visual aids so the viewers will understand wtf they're talking about).
The other well-known story about Andrews is that not long before the end, one of the stewards saw him in the first class smoking room without a lifebelt on, staring blankly into space with a "stunned" expression on his face, and the steward asked if he wasn't going to "try for it" but he didn't respond.
So of course the MYTHOLOGIZED NARRATIVE of Thomas Andrews goes like this: "Guy who is a genius in a scientific/creative/technical field and is very ambitious and also a perfectionist designs an AMAZING PERFECT CREATION, and then has to watch as his brilliant creation fails catastrophically and kills hundreds of people right in front of him, and is so mentally destroyed by it that he doesn't even try to escape but lets himself be killed too." This is a dramatically compelling story! It is the kind of thing that appeals directly to my angst-loving id!! But I feel pretty awkward about the fact that it's based off of the real life and death of a real person, not to mention the part where I'm having silly fannish "feels" over a real event where over a thousand people died.
Of course I obsess a lot about fictional characters, which is embarrassing enough in itself, but I've never been the sort of person to get really fannish about RL people (whether celebrities or historical figures or whatever). Partly I think because fictional characters can be idealized, larger than life, and live up to my expectations in a way that no real person ever could. (Even when the characters I love are supposedly "complex" or "flawed", their flaws are still idealized flaws that don't actually make them any less likable or sympathetic -- at least to me.) Real people will always end up disappointing you; and I've never been very good at like "selective reading" of the source material to support my own preferred interpretation over the most obvious/plausible one even when it comes to fiction, much less real life or real history.
I actually have kinda ambivalent feelings about like "historical"/"based on a true story" movies etc in general... I mean some of them are well-made but it bothers me how they inevitably have to distort everything to fit it into a Hollywood formula, idealizing some historical figures and demonizing others, creating a simplistic morality tale and calling that "history". It's not that I have anything against the Hollywood formula! Simplistic stories with larger-than-life heroes and villains are exactly my kind of thing lol. But I don't like confusing fiction with reality or pretending that reality ever actually conforms to our expectations about what makes a good/narratively satisfying story. I like fiction because it's NOT reality -- because it can actually satisfy our desire for narrative cohesion in a way that real life never will.
So yeah of course it's the law in all Titanic dramatizations (as in the rumors and legends that started circulating basically the minute the ship went down) that White Star executive Bruce Ismay has to be the villain of the story because he survived the disaster, while anyone who died has to have been a flawless hero. But of course it's exactly this highly idealized deeply-noble-and-heroic-yet-guilt-ridden version of Thomas Andrews that I love so much lmao. I mean I'm sure the real guy was a decent person and he was certainly brave for going down with the ship (especially since he was one of the few people who really knew/believed it was actually going to sink from pretty early on) -- but at the same time he was ultimately Just Some Guy, he was probably about as #problematic as any other rich white dude from that era and a lot of the specific aspects of his extreme heroism and nice-guyness as depicted in the various screen versions are clearly exaggerated or just made the fuck up -- so when I'm watching this stuff a part of me is always going "this is historically dubious >_>" while another part is like "my blorbo!! ♥_♥"
But now that I've gotten that disclaimer out of the way: here's some fannish babbling in case anybody cares.
The earlier Titanic movies, including the 1943 Nazi version (yes really) and the 1953 American movie, were less historically based and didn't include Andrews as a character. The first version to include him was the television play "A Night to Remember" (1956), based on the popular nonfiction book about the disaster of the same title. This was followed by the 1958 movie also called A Night to Remember -- this was the most successful and well-known dramatization of the story prior to the James Cameron movie. Featuring Michael Goodliffe as Andrews in a very dry and seemingly emotionless performance until the very end, when he has his dramatic breakdown and gives this memorable thousand-yard stare:
I think this is basically the only version where the person who finds Andrews in the smoking room actually is just a random steward; every other version replaces him with some other character who has a larger role in their version of the story. Also my fannish brain likes that they included a scene where the ship's doctor (who apparently was actually good friends with Andrews IRL) scolds him for being a workaholic, because that's another of my fave characterization tropes lmao.
Then there's the 1979 TV movie S.O.S. Titanic, where Andrews has a more minor role but is played by Geoffrey Whitehead, who I already knew for playing my top blorbo of all time Sherlock Holmes in an obscure TV series from the same year.

One thing I like about this one is that it's the only version I've seen that has people addressing Andrews as "Tommie", which is what his friends and family actually called him IRL. Every other version, if his first name is mentioned at all, has him called "Tom" or "Thomas" because filmmakers are COWARDS. It also depicts Andrews interacting with Mary Sloan, a stewardess who in real life talked a lot afterwards about him and how brave and heroic he'd been. In this version she's the one who finds him in the smoking room and urges him to try to save himself.
(Another thing I like about this one is that it has the most sympathetic portrayal of Bruce Ismay that I've seen.)
Then of course there's the James Cameron Titanic (1997), with Victor Garber as Andrews.

In the movie he forms a kind of friendly paternal relationship with Rose, and of course she's the one (with Jack in tow) who takes the steward's role in the smoking room scene.
Also in 1997, but otherwise unrelated, was the Titanic stage musical -- yes this exists, and it's actually better than you might expect (IMO). The show doesn't really have a single protagonist and focuses equally on a large number of different characters; but Andrews gets the opening song and the "climactic" song near the end, which makes him fairly prominent. I like how they kind of put him into a trio with Captain Smith and Bruce Ismay and there's a whole song where the three of them argue about who's the most to blame for the situation they're in, with Smith and Andrews both admitting to their share of the guilt in the end while of course Ismay doesn't. And then at the end Andrews has a truly impressive nervous breakdown and spends the last moments of the sinking obsessing over the ship's plans and how really it only needs a few minor changes to make it TRULY unsinkable!! Like... yes, A+, THIS is what I am here for, god damn.
There's also the 2012 miniseries in which Andrews again doesn't play a very large role, but Stephen Campbell Moore does look more like the real guy than any other actor I've seen portray him. So I have to give them points for that.

Spade! Wtf!?
"Tr*mp selects Jared K*shner’s father, Charles K*shner, for ambassador to France"
Omg, disgusting. If this doesn't warrant Karlie filing for "divorce," immediately, I don't know what else will.
I hear you. But Charles Kushner will never be the ambassador to France. Nor will Trump step foot in the White House as president ever again. He was not elected. He is creating chaos with the 🤡 crew that he is nominating to distract from what is going on behind the scenes. Enjoy Kamala’s tweet on Saturday and her smirk🤭. Take a close look at the portrait behind her, too.

Heya, a bug I just encountered is at the annual burning scene with our family, after selecting a worry for my MC, I get error 10504 non existent variable Drozfam that's keeping me from progressing. In addition while going out with Droznik and the Stranskys to Thalringen there's a small bug with reactions for both dark hair and light being said when I chose to dress in pastel colors, despite choosing blonde hair this run like so; "Karla smiles. "Those pastel colours suit you so well! Especially with your light hair. Especially with your darker hair. ""
I hope that the first bug will vanish once I update my files when I am home. (Still weird cause that variable is in the startup since days and I just updated it yesterday wtf)
Will look over the second one at home too!

Imo, kh1 is the only one that takes longer to use items because you have to select them manually from the menu, whereas in kh2, you can put potions and other healing items onto your shortcuts, which most people use for cure anyways.
Also, you don't have to wait for the particle effects and such to run out before you can move, you have a tiny bit of time before it ends to move. Also the prev anon is right; it takes the same amount of time to cast cure and use a potion, the amount of time it locks you in an animation is damn near identical, unless you're a stickler for like, milliseconds idk.
And then in kh3 they were actually kinder with the mp bar, because they added that whole "you can save 1mp to cast cure if you need to after doing other spells" which i think even includes cure itself? Honestly I'm not as familiar with kh3 since its newer and I've played the other 2 since release. Also they added Kupo Coins... which is just a revival you can buy at the shop. The other games didn't have that, except for the occasional visit from Mickey in kh2 if you died to certain bosses. But getting Mickey isn't guaranteed either, where the Kupo Coin is 100% effective.
Also, just... I know the MP refill seems like it takes forever because yeah, kh2 is pretty fast pace when you're in combat, and you really want that mp bar to fill up again, but it's not 70 seconds wtf??? Its probably like... 20 at most? (Maybe I'll come back after I time this bc I just started a kh2 game and I don't have any mp abilities yet).
But you can change that!!! You get MP Rage (Wisdom lvl4, Hidden Dragon keyblade ((this is literally the first keyblade you can switch to)) ) Theres MP Haste (wisdom lvl 6, Circle of Life keyblade, Full Bloom+ item,), MP Hastera (roxas gets it at 3rd level when playing on Critical) and MP Hastega (Ultima Weapon keyblade). Theres plenty of ways to boost that time. Also carry fucking ethers, or elixirs, or megaelixirs. Don't have them? Buy them!!! At least the ethers!! Every moogle has them!!! Want elixirs? Synthesize them!!! You get both hp and mp back from those, if you're really in a bind! Equip them to your customization menu so you can use them in a shortcut! I do that if I know the fight is gonna be bad! You really only need Cure, Reflect, And one other kind of magic you like on the other 3 slots anyways!!! If its a boss fight, ditch Magnet! Magnet doesn't do anything to bosses!!!
YOU CAN ALSO SUMMON STITCH!!! HE REFILLS YOUR MP EVERY LIKE 3 SECONDS IF YOU'RE USING IT!!!
And if she ever pulled the "well my party members should heal me more" she should GO INTO THE PARTY CUSTOMIZE MENU AND FIX IT!!! YOU CAN CHANGE THE FREQUENCY THAT THEY THROW OUT SUPPORT ITEMS AND ABILITIES!!! IN EVERY GAME!!! I know its a joke to never give Donald and Goofy items but ffs if you know you're gonna have a tough time, GIVE THEM ITEMS!! ESP LATER ON GIVE THEM ITEMS THAT BENEFIT THE WHOLE PARTY!!
Sorry just omg... I have 22 years of playing these games under my belt, okay, I've been playing since I was 3. And kh2 is my favorite and I *know* how to play that game. Well, I'm not a speedrunner or anything, I just know the tips and tricks and things you can do to help yourself out yknow. Like these games give you tools as you level up, its only in early game where using Cure can really screw you.
Like, you get cure in Beasts Castle. You've usually done Land of Dragons by then, so we're not mentioning that, but if you did BC first, LOD will be a breeze anyways. Next world is Olympus Coliseum, and the only time you might have to use it is in Hades Escape (bc Lance Soliders suck), and then maybe in either Cerberus or the Hydra if you struggle on one of them. Then next is Timeless River and your only real struggle there with dying is the fucking Hot Rods in The Scene of The Fire bc they suck too. But once you get to Port Royal, its smooth sailing until, like, Pride Lands fighting Scar (or the Hyenas if you're on Critical bc omg they can one shot you if you're not careful) but by then you should have at least something to help your healing or mp, or have enough stock in items to use those.
....tl;dr, KH gives you tools to deal with the restrictions to healing. Its not a spam like in kh1, but the later (numbered) games give you plently of things to help make healing easier as the game goes on and also being able to put items into your shortcut helps the speed of it too.
((I'm not talking about the non-numbered games bc tbh thats a whole new can of worms. THOSE are the games you have to really plan out healing in bc of the whole card (re:com) or ability slot things that bbs and ddd have that make healing a lot harder.))
Bars
You coulda made up half of that and I wouldn't know i tried to do my own research but this anon showed me that while my perspective was basically right I cannot compete with a true kingdom hearts fan

thoughts on todays volume ! remember how i said bringing back jace after he’s been gone for one singular day would be ridiculous, even for FB’s standards ?😭 well here he comes, dressed like he just came off of a yacht. at least esme won’t get dumped 🫶🏽
of course kane picks mc ! (not like he had a choice, but he’s still my babygirl)
next up is rumpy pumpy ! it’s silly but whatever, at least FB is actually using challenges from the show. (side note, i think physical challenges like these are better to read nowadays because of how MC hasn’t had any sort of internal monologue since the AI takeover. does that make sense ?) obviously, we won. i figure that it’s impossible to lose for the sake of MC/LI going on the date with esme/jace, but i was surprised i got the 2nd question correct lol (42% ??? for real ???😭) the double date & diamond scene were very sweet ❤️

zabrina coming for MC is one thing, but arguing with ruby ? she better sleep with one eye open
“bombshell beer-less pong” 😭 my poor MC is gonna need a proper drink to deal with these childish islanders. of course some drama is fun, makes it more realistic, etc, but the whole thing with zabrina/ren is just pointless. this absolute goober brought it on himself for choosing her when he was already upset about her kissing callum
that dressing room diamond scene with ruby tho 😳 if you ever heard that “what is it finna play …WOAHHHH” audio, that was my exact reaction 😭

me—a piano player that is constantly fumbling—reading this: 😭😭😭

afterwards MC and zabrina are sent to hell a sleepover villa. ngl my initial reaction was “now wtf is a sleepover villa ??” but this seems to be based on the bombshell sleepover twist that has been in the show (funnily enough, i think the current all stars had some weird hideaway bombshell double date sleepover, i haven’t been keeping up with it though)
anyways, we meet the bombshells, harvey and tunde. i think that tunde is one of the most adorable guys, at least in the “churning out seasons with a month long break” era of LITG sprites. harvey is certainly an islander

we play never have i ever, just reading that made me miss season 1 💔 my MC was giving teetotal because i didn’t select a single drink option (especially not to dance for them, tf 😭) until she randomly decides to drink for “never have i ever blocked someone 🤓” i assume the someone in question is dominic. i think FB needs to make up their mind with his backstory. is he not just some stranger who stole our job opportunity ? you would think he’s our ex with the way everyone is acting
this isn’t giving sexy getaway. MC could have a billboard that says “not interested” strapped to her head, with 10 neon arrow lights pointing directly at it, and these lads still wouldn’t take the hint. at least we have the choice to sleep alone later on
eventually we are presented with a choice between the two of them. unfortunately there isn’t a “neither” or “hop off the terrace and sprint back to the villa” option. whatevs, i picked tunde. honestly i was thinking that they should just couple up with each other, but i assume FB was trying to go for that “competing for MC” tension, rather than romantic tension (speaking of missing season 1, please give us bi/pan men 😭🙏🏽)
harvey, babes…considering the current size of your head, that may be beneficial 😭

when it comes down to choosing which boy to bring to the villa, i picked neither (i would’ve picked tunde but i didn’t want to deal with “MC picked this guy !!” drama later, however, i think that’ll be inevitable) so zabrina ends up choosing tunde. i assume she always picks the guy you said you’re interested in, probably for some cheap drama later (i can practically envision it. some bullshit like “i wasn’t interested in either of those guys, MC BEGGED me to bring tunde 🤥🤥🤥”)
i know the game is trying to make us think that our LI cheated on us, i’ve played too many seasons to be fooled, swayed, and upset by FB’s “another woman is trying to steal your man” antics.
what i am mad about, is that it’s so unfair we had to be sent off to the world’s shittiest sleepover while the villa had vida, this BEAUTIFUL woman 😭 an absolute 100/10, and she’s definitely gonna be some half-assed delusional rival instead of a LI ! i’m SICK !!!

overall, the energy of that sleepover was too foul for me to say i “enjoyed” this volume, but excluding that it was alright. esme is a sweetie and i hope she doesn’t end up doing a random 180 in her personality (if FB is using more elements from the show, you’d think that they would want to create an actual friend group to capitalize off the success of PPG in love island USA. but they’re lazy misogynists so…)
i wonder if jace will end up being a LI, i can’t really imagine it right now but i’m sure FB has some catastrophic event up their sleeve. my unpopular opinion is that i’m fine with unromanceable male islanders, as long as the game makes it clear at the beginning, like with season 3 (even though i’m still heartbroken over seb & nicky 💔😭) we desperately need islanders that have a personality outside of being a cardboard cutout that’s obsessed with MC (or the equally obnoxious inverse, the trope of guys like season 6 hamish, liam, and dean being horrible to MC for literally no reason)
i wish vida was an LI, but based on previous seasons, what will actually happen is probably more along the lines of “poorly written rival is convinced that LI is in love with her, & makes it her life’s goal to attack MC at every given opportunity. LI is too spineless kind to outright reject the rival, so players believe he is turning his head even though this exact storyline has happened for 5 seasons straight” 🫠

It's hard to take the Tommy storyline seriously especially knowing that it was supposed to be Eddie and Tommy. People say the chemistry is through the roof with Buck and Tommy, but I barely saw any and most of it was cringe. (They had three scenes together and people are throwing Eddie out. Yeah just prove that it's not buddie they want, but more kissing other guy. They don't accept girlfriend, but the first guy is the perfect one. Be for real.) The way they wrote episode 4 was done for Eddie so all of this comes out of left field with the Tommy and Buck.
I can't take it seriously and honestly I hope he's gone soon. Like usual Buck gets all the storyline and Eddie is left with barely anything. Also I'm sorry, but I find it funny that this was all last minute planning and Buck got Eddie coming out storyline.
Sorry I had to vent. It's feeling like the Buck show again.
My dear Anon,
I have to admit, it is kind of hard to take the pairing seriously when we know Tommy was supposed to be with Eddie originally, another "fine patchwork" from the 911 creative team.
I hate last minute patches, those make for dumb storylines, like a nun Marisol, like wtf? Most men catholic or not usually fantasizing about nuns, religious or not. - I'm guessing gay men, don't lol
I have to say that both Oliver and Lou are giving it the old college try, but to be honest, the "platonic" bromance we saw between Eddie and Tommy had more chemistry than Buck and Tommy.
And even if they decided, last minute, to get Tommy with Buck, they could have written it so much better, than Buck OOC hurting Eddie physically for attention from the virtual stranger Eddie hung out with for two weeks. (Speaking of dumb storyline and patches).
I do agree that the whole TommyBuck became a thing very quickly, like buddie never existed and Tommy and Buck have been together for almost a season, which would have been more time to actually prove this match worthy of the praise it's getting after a couple of episodes.
Also, not to antagonize anyone, we all know if they'd brought back Lucy like it was originally planned (though how it was supposed to lead to a gay storyline is beyond me) Arielle would have gotten so much backlash that it would make ppl wonder about the selective feminism in this fandom. (though I have to say that Lucy being besties with Eddie could have been epic).
I also have to say that dazed and confused Buck is so not how I thought bi!Buck would look and I thought by Maddie's comments over the years that it would be anything but surprise for her. Sometimes the continuity of the show is a bit... wonky.
And indeed episode 4 that was originally written for Eddie does feel a bit left field with Buck, but I think Lou and Oliver handled it well. I love Lou's expressions to be honest, they tell a lot that isn't being said. - So much like Ryan now that I think about it.👀
Making it all about Buck again, is indeed a bone of contention I have with the writers and showrunners. This story was tailored for Eddie and they should have followed through, the catholic guilt, the internalized homophobia, and all the mixed feelings would have been delicious and made more sense than the nun crap we got.
I have a lot to say, some flattering, some less.
On the bright side this season have hope yet, I doubt we get much of Tommy for long, I was already spoilered that he is not here to stay, but he will play a part at Chimney's rescue, I love that idea.
I just hope he doesn't get killed off.
Also I wouldn't mind a threesome before we get buddie, if we get buddie lol
So yeah, the Evan Buckley show indeed, but Buck has always fan favorite so no surprise there.
I love Buck, but 7 seasons later demand that there will be some growth that sticks, what drives me crazy that we're still getting the same childish pouting mannerism from him and that it is all good somehow because that's Buck. 🤷♂️
I do love Lou/Tommy, he's perfect for this storyline. As someone who is observing without the "OMG TOMMYBUCK" glasses, 7x05 pretty much seals the fate of TommyBuck, Tommy's "You're adorable" is a death sentence for a relationship in any standards, many things could have been said, "I find you hot/sexy as hell" "I would really like to be with you" anything except you're adorable, adorable is a thing you say about babies and puppies, and though we all consider Buck a golden retriever puppy, he's a "hot hot firefighter man" - not adorable. - adorably confused maybe. An Ally if you will 😂
Also, I have yet to gif it, but in that last scene between them Tommy's smile looks like he's happy, but his eyes tell a different story, one that says "As much as I would like to believe I am the one you want I know better." He knows they won't last long.
And that "Evan" felt to me more like, "We have barely made it past the first date, and we barely know each other, A WEDDING? Are you serious rn?"
Obviously everyone else would disagree with me, but COME ON, who invites a failed first date to a wedding? Like Buck lost all sense of direction in his effort to prove his okay-ness with his new bi-ness.
At least he has a rainbow in his instagram lol
Anyway, all that's left is set the clock and wait for Madney's wedding, a wedding has a way to rectify things or just throw everything into utter chaos, either way we get a married Madney and an adventurous wedding. - That will be an episode I watch, solely for Maddie and Chimney. - Anything else would just be bonus ;)
