Fourteen Days of MHA: Day 3

Light Fades to Rain

Okay, let's gush. Here are my feelings about the anime adaptation of chapters 360-362: season 7 episode 11. This will quickly devolve from eloquent discussion to raging madness I promise.

The opening five minutes are the weakest part of the episode. This is the only section I will lodge any complaints about, and honestly they're not that serious.

The sadomasochism got toned down :P

I kind of expected it, and honestly I get why. Even though it was scaled back, the scene was effective enough for most viewers because there's just something about seeing it animated that makes it feel visceral anyways. The detail was always going to be reduced in the art when adapted to animation, and a lot of that art could've looked really bad without the necessary detail.

But it wouldn't be on brand for me if I didn't mention that it bummed me out lol.

The only other thing I can complain about isn't even an issue with the episode, it's an error in the subtitles.

"...you're just goldfish poop next to All For One."

a) It should be "One For All," not "All For One."

b) I don't think they should have kept it as "goldfish poop." Sorry to any language purists out there, but the idiomatic meaning of this phrase in Japanese will not get picked up by an English-speaking audience--and that idiom is important. It has an impact on how Katsuki behaves going forward. I think the subtitles should have changed that to something like "a minnow in One For All's wake" or "a tag-along weakling," ANYTHING to get the point across that Tomura is trying to inflict psychological damage by telling Katsuki he'll never amount to anything on the level of One For All. That message informs the rest of the episode!

Now, if that's the only complaint I have about this whole episode--a slightly too-fast-paced-under-detailed opening scene and a bad subtitle--then I'm a happy camper. And indeed that is the only complaint I have.

This episode is a masterpiece of adaptation.

The focus on the Big Three is so good because it does such a good job of masking where the episode is going but it's perfectly in-theme because of the parallels the three of them have with Izuku and Katsuki. IT JUST WORKS MAN. I LOVE IT.

The music that plays when Katsuki mutters is an excellent choice, though I wish they could have done something to hammer the point home more that he was indeed muttering and analyzing like Izuku does. Maybe the little "mutter" text would've been dissonant in tone lol but still I wish there was a way they could've done it. I do think the point does come across in the end still, but it's just more impactful when you get to see the little "mutter" text come full circle. Yeah yeah, manga vs anime and all that.

I didn't expect the tone they went with for Jeanist's reaction to Katsuki's muttering, but it was just different not like bad or anything. I kinda liked the whole "what the fuuuuck" vibe of it. I was thinking more like "Holy shit, I'm a proud dad" tone but this works XD

Jeanist is such a dad.

HE SPARKLE. KATSUKI, HE SPARKLE. IT SO PRETTY. AT LAST.

The animators were SOOOO trying to hide the twist this episode from the anime-only viewers, they didn't even put Katsuki on the commercial bumpers, they didn't want to SPOIL THE SURPRISE. IT'S SO GOOD.

Lost it at Tenko's freak out (damn voice actor wow) and Mirio's "g-gomen." I need the dub of this scene so bad.

JEANIST MY FIRST LOVE, DAD-ING SO HARD ALL OVER THIS EPISODE LOOK AT HIM GO.

Nejire is adorable as hell and everyone in MHA is so easily read as autistic it's remarkable actually.

They really put the typography behind the plasma cannon they actually did that.

UNF THAT PIANO. THE PIANO GOES OFF ALL OVER THE PLACE THIS EPISODE, DAMN.

Also good job on making the plasma cannon blast look small and precise to contrast Katsuki's attack last episode, because Katsuki definitely has more firepower but Tamaki has the finesse to concentrate the attack for a sustained period.

BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS

Everything from BOOTS on is perfection I know you all already know that.

Jeanist's voice acting is underappreciated, I really loved him this episode.

The little special sound effect for his clusters now!!! IT MAKES ME SO EXCITED. I CAN'T WAIT TO SUPERIMPOSE IT OVER KATAMARI DAMACY NEXT SEASON

Present Mic with the La Brava's-Love-quirk soft narration omg [chef's kiss]

OKAMOTO. OKAMOTO OH MY GOD. YOU GIVING ME FEELINGS WITH YOUR VOICE CRACKS I CAN'T SLEEP

The slo-mo shots are so pretty ;_;

THEY GAVE US MORE KUDOU TOO AND IT WAS SO GOOD, THE CONNECTION WAS DRAWN SO WELL BETWEEN HIM AND KATSUKI I AM LOVING IT SO MUCH. IT ALSO HELPS THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING AUDIENCE UNDERSTAND THIS IS DEFINITELY THE AFO-DOMINANT PERSONALITY NOT TOMURA.

Even if this series ends without explaining it, I'm going to come up with my own explanation for that vestige world shit. That cannot just be symbolic afterlife bullcrap. IT MEANS SOMETHING.

He's just a boy ;_; He's just a baby boyyyyyy

GIVE HIM HIS AUTOGRAPH BY THE END OF THIS SERIES SO HELP ME--

he spin thru the air like a meme

It's time for Horikoshi's favorite character: Bakucorpse!

You wanted the blue sky gone, but at what cost?

YES I'M LOVING THE VIBE FROM THE THUNDER SOUND

Oh...oh it hurts a lot to see in color, oh he's so pale...ohhhh no

THAT ENDING SONG? NOW? HOW DARE.

That horrifying feeling of emptiness at the end :)

The joy of watching others cry over this 👀

Katsuki is the actual symbol of hope I don't care what anyone says. All hope of victory is lost with his death and the only chance of winning comes from reviving him with the literal power of hopes and prayers and wishes. He is Hope Incarnate. A very Sassy (Soft Precious) Hope Incarnate.

Let’s get some fun recommendations goin around here! What’s a piece of clone content (art, fic, etc) that has stuck with you as being notably excellent? Tag it in your answer so we can all find some new fun to read! If you want, of course; feel free to ignore! 💕

Oooh, this is fun! Yes ♥ I'm an absolute whore for art ♥

Starting off with a beautiful take on my favorite shit boy from the 104th, my babylove, Warthog by @omaano. I know there's no need for an explanation but I'm just so overly proud and touched because this was a tribute to a fallen comrade who happens to be Warthog's bestiecakes, Tracer.

Read more here ♥ And yes, Warthog is my favorite ♥ I will pick him again and again and again and again and again over Commander Wolffe ♥

Second would be Big Boy Wrecker ♥ As much as I am crazy for soft Wrecker with pink beach shorts with Omega, it's the Mischief Energy for me ♥ Love me some unhinged, chaotic, bulldozer baby girl of a man ♥ Also, everything @amorfista is a fave ♥

[WIP] "Shenanigans at the beach"

Another Wrecker by @lornaka because omg, he has truly captivated my heart ♥

Miss these kids sm

Darth Fett by @eyecandyeoz ♥ Candy outdid themselves here and I cannot emphasize that enough because (1) that fic is absolutely filthy, (2) it's a fic and art for one of my hidden/small otps, and (3) that art is as absolutely filthy as the fic.

Vader × Fett😈

This beautiful Crosshair happening that blesses my dash from time to time made by @ditztitz because goddamn, look at those unf-things and them unf-lines.

Very Toned Crosshair

This beautiful Crosshair happening that blesses my dash from time to time made by @ditztitz because goddamn, look at those unf-things and them unf-lines.

House of Fett | Family Picture

House of Fett, of course by @baufraus who I am obsessed with in terms of their art style and sticker vibe.

Thicc Fox & Thicc Wolffe ♥

@patchmates thicc twin love because jfc, Wolffe and Fox being hella fine is such a vibe. I've reblogged this so many damn times, I'm still giddy over it ♥

Bly in booty shorts

Need no explanation than the fact that someone better steal his blacks from time to time for the good of the galaxy. Delicious art by @thatfunkyopossum

Croissants being actual croissants ♥

Anything Fox and Corrie boys related by @amikoroyaiart because they so precious and so much foolishness happening ♥

That one Commander Fox Art that serves so much cunt I feel insecure as a cunt-bearing organism ♥.

This to me is s.ex on the eyes. It's the judgmental tilt of the head, that eyebrow raise, that look of disapproval that can also be seen as 'yeah, I'd hit that... but after work cause I got so much fucking work' — it's the bad boy ciggue for me, that puff of smoke in the background, that turtleneck blacks, that thiccness, that scar, that jfc-i would like to get railed by this man on his desk while he works vibe. ;//////;

Amazing art by @calamity-aims

Need something on your wall? Check them out ♥

Two from @idontgetanysleep that I would love to see on a wall:

Black and white Info Panel feature Wolffe, Rex, Cody, and Gregor ♥♥♥

Vibrant & Groovy Wallpapers featuring Wolffe, Rex, Cody, Howzer, Gregor ♥♥♥

..••°°°°••..°°••....••°°..••°°°°••..°°••....••°

And lastly, every single fucking panel in this post resonates to me in an astronomical level that I feel more closer to being Fox than being in love with Fox. This is essentially Fox and Me in photos as one. And I'm so pleased that @that-one-egomaniac gave me permission to use this bit because I am obsessed with this that I will post the photo itself — behold, my most favorite thing in the entire galaxy:

Thank you for this very interesting ask ♥

Note: I also don't know why some of the links didn't work as I was getting an error when posting so the rest came out as hyperlinks.

baby's first soap fic (redux)

re-wrote this with the wrath of a thousand suns burning out after discovering my original post somehow disappeared/got deleted (even though the link was still in my masterpost? smh)

Reading: love you from afar by @roosterr

i found this while first tiptoeing into the depths of cod fandom on tumblr after huffing the gateway drug of simping for COD men (ghost fanart/fics) and the way johnny is portrayed here is what made me start looking up soap fics <3

once again so many absolutely delicious tropes here, key being clueless reader - though i vibe with reader being like "oh i guess im the person to leave a little treat for myself to find after a long day like my favorite choco on my bed" big mood reader, big mood - i aspire to your imaginary self-care standards

also johnny willing to bridal carry you after getting hurt and willing to stay with you at the docs? keep these kind of friends close <3

not me running to google language/meaning of flowers after roosty mentioned they were gardenias

i was late to the soap is canonically an artist/kept a journal game and freaking love it when writers incorporate it into their fics <3 also really brings to mind the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - i have drawn/been drawn by friends and etc. and truly so touching to see how your love ones see you through their art <3

i also love that soap panics when his little secret project gets outed to gaz and co. who already know about his crush - i fucking love having wholesome little secrets with the intent to commit random acts of love/kindness/chaotic good/etc. etc.

"someone went in your room while you were gone?" ghost's low voice caught your attention, "bit creepy, innit," he grumbled, his gaze darting between you and somewhere next to you.

"christ…" ghost mutters, shaking his head in exasperation.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA GHOST YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CHILL

"could be a good bonding exercise," price had the same entertained tone in his voice as he looked between the four of you, "any thoughts, soap?"

please god i would commit crime to read teh side group chat where they absolutely roast soap for his antics...and reader for how fucking clueless she is

i vibrated out of my seat at excitement of plot twist of fake!admirer sending a fake note and wanting to meet reader, 10/10 storytelling *chefs kisses*

also "hey sarge" to reader? yes we love a girlboss (is this still a pc term? idk someone correct me if its not, still catching up to the barbification of slang words and reclaiming of feminine power with 'girlmath' and 'girldinner' etc etc)

"in fact, i don't actually know you at all. i couldn't recall your name even if you held a gun to my head." FUCK YES MY QUEEN FUCKING GET HIM FUCKING STEP ON HIM *sry busy morphing into that rabid dog barking gif to hype reader up*

when johnny says your name in that deep, gravelly tone, your heart skips a beat and your eyes snap to meet his. "who was it." he asks, but it's not a question anymore, and every fibre of your being is telling you to just give in to him.

my god when the quiet/sweet/always happy-go-lucky ones get angry it is so hot terrifying

and UNF THE LETTER!!!!!! THE LETTER. Every single fucking thing about the letter is pure perfection and sunlight "you're my person" 🥺🥺🥺 THE STRAIGHT-UP I LOVE YOU *claps johnny on back for saying it straight*🥺🥺🥺 signing off with "your heart" 🥺🥺🥺

i love how reader immediately takes off running, fucking yes queen GO GET YOUR MANS??? HURRY THE FUCK UP???

the two of you stay like that for moments that feel like hours in each other's embrace, only pulling away when your lungs are burning and your lips are swollen. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

"yer stayin' with me tonight, non negotiable." he murmurs, running a hand up and down the length of your spine. lmao negotiable?? sir??? reader did not even stand a chance??? who could tbh

last but not least, i learned the meaning of bawbag by googling it via reading this fic so once again, another absolute banger of a fic for cod fandom, ty for filling my heart soul ovaries brain with some much needed and at times completely useless light love and lore <3

HP Bodice Ripper: Week 1

Do you feel a little faint? We certainly feel a little faint with how amazing this week has been.

This week brought you fake dating and prophesies, knights and pirates and tennis rivals, soft romance and steamy library smut. Our incredible creators delivered pining, courting and sexual tension to make you go weak in the knees.

We hope you are as delighted with the wonderful creations as we are. Thank you for all the kudos and comments and screaming in the tags.

Here are all works from week one in reverse posting order: 6 stories, 2 art works and 1 recording.

[fic🖋] Romp and Circumstance by @wolfpants / wolfpants

(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 35k)

Since the war, Harry Potter has gone from Saviour to Scoundrel—not that he’s complaining. With a schedule full of gorgeous men, alcohol, and late nights, why would he want to change? Enter Draco Malfoy: beautiful, sharp, and completely untouchable. When Draco comes to Harry with a proposition to help him attract an engagement, Harry’s up for it—after all, how hard can it be not falling for his former nemesis? Very hard, apparently.

thestarryknight says about this: "every moment between Draco and Harry was believable, brilliantly articulated, and full of desire"

oknowkiss says about this: “i feel like Jane Austen would be so proud of you”

[art🎨] Lay Your Armour Down (The Seduction of a Pirate) by @getawayfox / getawayfox

(Pansy/Ginny, General Audiences, digital art)

Pansy will be the first to tell you that being an heiress is infinitely boring. She lives for thrill and intrigue, and right now her days lack both. So, when there’s whispers in town of a nearby pirate ship threatening their shores, Pansy’s interest piques. She bribes the mansion’s guards to let her slip out unnoticed, tricks the ship’s crew into thinking she was invited—and now she’s here, ready for adventure. She hoped to find new experiences, but did not expect a captain who would take her breath away.

skeptique says about this: “There's so much lovely texture to your art. I love both of their outfits and the beautiful sky and ocean spray”

sitp-recs says about this: "immaculate black sails vibes"

[fic🖋] coffee & communication: a (slow) romance by @softlystarstruck / softlystarstruck

(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 10k)

Nearly a decade after the war, Draco has made a life for himself in Muggle London, writing romance novels and hanging out with his cat. But when he spills iced coffee all over a gorgeous man who turns out to be Harry Potter, has he tumbled into the start of his own romance without realizing it? And how difficult can it be to talk about desire, anyways? He writes smut for a living. Surely it can't be that difficult.

Basicallyahedgehog says about this: "I absolutely loved the depiction of both demisexuality and demiromance. The world needs more aroace specturm representation, and this was perfect."

lq_traintracks says about this: "Soft and tender but with heaps of UST that hit just right. It’s such a gorgeous exploration of being demi, being aro, of how absolutely HOT loving patience can be"

[fic🖋] dalliances past curfew by @fantasyborn / fantasyborn

(Irma Pince/Septima Vector, Explicit, 1,5k)

Irma is always the buttoned up, strict, rule follower. Only Septima gets to cut through those barriers.

lq_traintracks says about this: "Oh this was so steamy! I loved the under-the-desk bit, so naughty! And then over-the-desk, unf! I like Septima's style."

yletylyf says about this: “I love the vibe of their established relationship, which is so sweet, and this smutty give-and-take.”

[podfic🎵] amid this warm and steady sweetness by @roseszain / roseszain

(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 2h, written by warmfoothills)

Harry is not living in a period drama, no matter what his friends or his new house or Malfoy’s sudden affinity for horse-riding might suggest, and if one more person uses the word courting, he’s going to start hexing people.

skeptique says about this: Really loved how this podfic brought this story to life. Just a wonderful pace and clear voice. Perfect narration style for this and great choice for this fest.

Chaosandcoo says about this: “Like, just one big, dreamy sigh.”

[fic🖋] The (Third) Worst Year by @the-francakes / thefrancakes

(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 19k)

Draco Malfoy has one year to fall in True Love with Harry Potter or be turned into a Dragon. And he knows that is never gunna happen. This is going to be the worst year of his life. Well, minus that whole having to kill Dumbledore or be killed by Voldemort thing. Second worst year. Oh, but there was his whole 7th year while Voldemort was using his house as a home base for Death Eaters and making him torture his fellow students. That one was pretty bad too. Fine, this is the third worst year of his life.

blueheart_V says about this: This is hilarious! The kitten calendar is a riot - I love Draco's increasing irritation with it. Pansy, Zabini & Theo were so perfectly characterised; in fact, all of your character writing was spot on. It was a joy to read.

pleasecallmeX says about this: “I am so so in love with this story.”

[fic🖋] The Greatest Game by @sleepstxtic / sleepstxtic

(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 45k)

So what then makes The Greatest Game? The Greatest Game is something more. The drama, the tension, the narrative that the other games lack. There is a story here. Two rivals with a history spanning years; the oldest, most illustrious prize to be won. Prime pickings for a plotline. But wait, there’s more. Two lovers with a secret spanning seasons, a secret that is about to be discovered. What I am trying to say is, The Greatest Game is greatest because it has the greatest story.

WhatsMyLine says about this: "I was on the edge of my seat, adrenaline pumping- I felt like I was actually watching tennis, and great fucking matches at that! Bravo!!"

HereForFreeCringes says about this: “What the hell this was ssoooooooooo good oh my god i am a starving dying worthless frog for a spoonful of modern drarry and you give me a 10 course meal????!!!”

[art🎨] Red Roses and Free Spirits by @upthehillart / upthehillart

(Ginny/Luna, General Audiences, digital art)

She's seen the Lady there before, an airy blur of elegant fabric and blond hair. With roses in hand, maybe she'll see her again.

sugareey says about this: AHHHHHH! This is GORGEOUS! The blurred background and shrubbery (as if everything is moving), the texture on the canvas, the patterns on Luna's outfit, and the way Luna and Ginny are just leaning into each other is PERFECT."

sleepstxtic says about this: “Luna’s dress is absolutely gorgeous and Ginny’s armour is IMPECCABLE WITH THE CHAINMAIL AND THE SWORD AND THE HAIRCUT”

[fic🖋] Nine dates and a wedding by @deliciousblizzardshark / deliciousblizzardshark

(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 11k)

“You need to get married,” Potter says. “I need someone to help me navigate all of this. It’s an insane idea…” He peeks out from behind his glasses. "...or is it?" "It is," Draco says.

Skeptique says about this: "This has such a romantic pattern of circumstances and hesitation and pining.”

lq_traintracks says about this: “It was paced beautifully, with that lovely build of tension between them and budding love from that initial attraction.”

[sitp-recs]

H/D Suds Fest 2021 - Recs

This is yet another incomplete draft I’m finally publishing to join my other fest reclists. Suds has been one of my favorite fests since its first year and I had a blast with the 2021 collection, so many creative and sexy works across all genres, plus a few fics dedicated to one of my favourite kinks: watersports! I felt truly spoiled. I hope you guys enjoy these as much as I did, and don’t forget to leave kudos and comments. Kinky fics go with a 💦 for your convenience ;)

🛁 Is This Love? by @phd-mama + art by @slytherco - the softest established relationship fic you’ll read this week, I love so much the mutual trust and the ritualistic, cleansing aspect of a scared bath. Hurt/comfort goodness with all the feels!

Draco wouldn’t call himself a tender man. He fights the forces of evil for a living, trying his best to pay penance for the evil he’s done. He’s fought and killed in the name of duty, and when he’s not on duty, he tends either to play hard or retreat alone. He doesn’t lean on anyone, and he knows he’s not the first person anyone goes to when they need care. Comfort. That all changes tonight.

🍸 Ceremonials by @jackvbriefs (NR, 4k) - love the mysterious atmosphere and quietly growing UST, the kind of fic that slowly unravels itself and leaves you aching for more with a lovely hopeful ending.

“What are you doing here?” Harry said. “I’m teaching you how to make a drink.”

🧼 Tastes Like Soap by InnerLilith (E, 4.6k) - I’m rapidly becoming obsessed with Lilith’s works, always so funny, refreshing, unapologetically sweet and hot. My fave brand of porn with feels and this is no exception, an unusual premise that transforms into an incredibly sensual

Harry goes to the foam party hoping to finally have casual sex. Draco goes to the foam party expecting yet another night of casual sex. Harry and Draco do not have casual sex.

🧹 Sports Star by @moonflower-rose (E, 4.8k) - delicious quidditch fic + watersports + exhibitionism aka perfectly crafted to meet my kinky tastes, I’m here for the teasing, the want, the desperation!!! So hot and addictive, unf I’m swearing here

Life as a professional Quidditch player involves a strict routine, and more hydration than Harry could have imagined. 💦

🏔 Tracing Memories on Your Skin fic + art by @iero0 (T, 4.8k) - an inventive and soothing healing fic that worked its way inside my soft heart. I love the thermals aesthetics and how these confident and mature characters meet again and gently come together.

Harry visits for his slow heartrate and shrunken lung capacity. He finds out he’s not the only one who still struggles with the remnants of Voldemort’s magic.

🍺 Float by @shiftylinguini (E, 4.9k) - this fic has shifty’s trademark combo of a light and casual get together, soft intimacy and scorching smut, I’m obsessed with how the piss kink just highlights the trust and want these two have for each other. So much character and heat!

After a night out, Harry wakes up feeling like he slept on concrete, like his body's made of sand, like he accidentally pissed on his housemate the night before. Because he did accidentally piss on his housemate the night before. 💦

🇮🇹 Postcards From Italy by @sorrybutblog (E, 6k) - sign me up for those magical cmbyn summery vibes with sweet flirting and scorching baths - a hopeful tale giving the characters the chance to live the life they want, it will make you want to live inside this Italian dream too!

A pool party, a nightclub, a bathtub. Draco Malfoy is the last person Harry expected to run into the summer before his third year of university, but he's not complaining (at least not anymore).

🪶A Grey Shrike Alighted upon my Wishbone by @opalesqueopioid (E, 7k) - brilliant and quietly devastating, this fic made my body ache with such a unique premise perfectly executed, haunting and poetic in a way only romantic tragedies can be. God bless the angst!

Cursed to forget everything about Harry Potter, Draco has to kill if he wants a cure.

🧽 Playing Dirty by @sweet-s0rr0w (E, 8.5k) - hilarious until it gets sinfully hot, I’m here for this chaotic Harry POV, his magic compatibility with Draco (!!🔥) and the amazing setup full of delicious ust! Such a great take on the locker room trope, if you’re a banter hoe don’t look any further and go treat yourself!

As punishment for screwing up yet another mission, and with their magic going haywire, new partners Potter and Malfoy are sent to clean the Auror locker room, the Muggle way. Will they make it out alive? Does Malfoy ever work out how to use a sponge? Do they actually even hate each other, or is it all just misconstrued sexual tension? How long until they accidentally end up naked? For answers to all these questions and more, read on.

💧Wonderful Electric (cover me in you) by @lqtraintracks (E, 10.8k) - surprising no one this became an instant fave, a gentle, liberating, unapologetic kink exploration that highlights the beauty of trust and shared vulnerability in a relationship. Unbearably tender, intimate and erotic, this is an ode to every kink enthusiast out there. The summary itself takes my breath away:

I’m never so tender with him as I am when I’m coaxing him to piss all over me. 💦

👞 On Target by @the-sinking-ship + art by @fictional (E, 13k) - perfect mix of fun and scorching, this fic has such a compelling “party atmosphere”, until it takes you into the hottest locker room sequence ever, sub Harry all thirsty for rough sex is now imprinted in my mind

A charity dunk tank, some sorry excuses for friends, a Slytherin with freakishly good aim, a (mostly) empty locker room, and one very small towel. Because, apparently, everyone is dying to get Harry Potter wet.

🌸 What Have You Been Hiding Under Those Robes, Professor Malfoy? by @thebooktopus + art by @mad1492 (E, 15k) - tattooed Draco’s a walking wet dream and we’re all thirsty for him! This is a masterclass in slow burn, I could cut the UST with a knife. This is sweet, honest, intimate and oh so deliciously hot, with a lovely ending.

After an accidental explosion in the Potions classroom, professors Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have to utilize the emergency showers at the back of the classroom. Harry is surprised to find that prim & proper Draco is positively covered in tattoos. And… are those nipple piercings? You can probably tell where this goes.

Art:

🧜‍♀️ home from the sea by @babooshkart (G) - Boo explores sweet domesticity like no one and I can’t decide if I’m more mesmerized by Draco’s extraordinary mermaid tail, or by those gorgeous bathroom aesthetics, I literally wanna have that inside my house

Draco walked out of the Channel two years before and hadn't looked back. He had a lovely flat, an exceedingly attentive (and attractive) boyfriend, and was doing well in a marine biology course at a prestigious university. Now all he needed was a bigger bathtub.

🎙 Fly Me to the Moon by @caroll-in (M) - as always Karol cures my depression and makes me laugh like an idiot with her brilliant sense of humor and charming romance. I love this suds concept, seeing them content and domestic makes my heart so soft!

Harry has a problem. A loud problem. A problem that happens to live just next door and enjoys singing way too much. And frankly, they're TERRIBLE at it!

🪞 so rest your weary heart with me by @bluebutter-art (M) - epic, poignant, devastatingly romantic. An all-time favorite. One look at this and I’m crying like a baby, I’ve got zero emotional chill for what Blue changes inside me with her art.

After the war, Harry starts to use sensory deprivation tanks to induce psychosis-like hallucinations, eager to see those who he has lost one more time. Draco helps him get back on his feet, replacing the dirty flashbacks of the war with clean memories of love. A story of what is loved, lost and found.

[alienshea]

can you share how EXO in real life pls? especially KIM JONGIN? 🙊

Minseok: he rarely comes to my side idek why so I can’t really tell a lot about him. But overall he’s overloaded with energy. A BALL OF ENERGY IN SUMMARY.

Junmyeon: i am speechless because he’s so… wow. There is a language barrier between exo and us but what touched my heart the most is that he takes time to listen to what we shout/chant about. He listens to all of the fans, and cares so much for the members. He’s literally an angel that has graced us with his presence. I legit felt the strong bond that he has with exols and with exo.

Baekhyun: last year i was enamored by his smile. This year is still the same. Baekhyun knows how to speak and hype up his aeris. He’s such a kid that has an unending supply of energy. And one more thing, his dancing was on top of his game! I can’t even call it rude like I usually do because seeing it in person is way different. His dancing has a vibe and i live for that vibe.

Jongdae: I just saw an angel and his name is Kim Jongdae. Wow his smile has made his way to my heart? He was legit shining and just something that is so him. He loves to make eye contact with exo-ls. Whether you are on the standing area, or when you are seated at the farthest seat, he will make sure to look at everyone and just wow feel his love.

Chanyeol: king of being extra. List all the extra stuffs that exo did and it will end up with a result of him being the cause. Heaven is such a soft and chill song but what I saw that time is Chanyeol shuffling to Heaven. For his part in Do It Together he did a dab for each second of it. If jongin dances to something like nae nae, Chanyeol is the cause of it. BUT he is so soft for exo-ls. And wow he’s legit a soft soft giant. Crouches down a lot so that exols can take better pics and vids of him.

Kyungsoo: He was so comfortable with the crowd I was blessed to see his weird weird side! He is legitimately so handsome upclose. And wow the look in his eyes when he looks at exo-ls? Words can’t describe. During the encore, he always aims for the weirdest looking toy. His heart shaped smile will engrave its way to your heart. You melt when you see that smile in pics? You will want to faint in genuine happiness when you see it in person.

Jongin: beware of his Kai persona. His Kai persona is very very dangerous. Kai casually drops a smirk and wink at random times. You need to be 24/7 mentally prepared because he drops it like a bomb. His arms are so meaty and defined I SCREAMED BUT his Jongin side? He gets the trophy. He is seriously a ball of never ending softness. He’s got the crowd the whole crowd on the palm of his hands, Everyone has fallen for his charms. He takes time to interact with his fans. He is so genuine and wow his smile? I’ll do anything for it to stay on his face forever. One last thing, the way he dances, his body control, his facial expression, the vibes, it is so Kim Jongin. There was a time where I was so speechless i ended up only saying “Woooooow……” as I watch him dance. He is so passionate and everyone felt it. he made me see what art of dancing looks like.

Sehun: Seven words: Cute and hot at the same time. What strucked me the most is when he looks at exols. You can legitimately feel his love for exols. But seriously, i dont even know how it works but he’s cute, handsome, and hot all at the same time. F*ck all those who says that he can’t dance. Seeing it in person is so different. He has this vibe and just wow standing ovation for his dancing.

Bonus: I used to say that sekai’s Lady Luck dance was so rude and just unf. But seeing it in person? I was wrong. It was legitimately an art. Seeing them dance together, I was left breathless. I don’t know I can’t even explain on how beautiful their dance was, Their chemistry in dancing is so good and on top of their game.

ot8 version since Yixing wasn’t able to attend Exordium in Manila. p.s. the crowd chanted his name so loud before the concert started i was so touched at that

Anxiety/Tasmania Bound

Going to Tasmania Wednesday morning - but still experiencing an immense amount of anxiety, and what the sources are I would have no idea. To be a bit blunt though, I’m actually a bit sick and tired of people constantly telling me to find “what” the source is. In short, I don’t believe it’s actually that easy. A numerous amount of things are probably causing these panic attacks, it’s not just as easy as “oh yeah, it’s probably because I’ve been rejected from ten jobs in the past two weeks and haven’t been able to score a single interview”. And while I’m sure that while this does add to the anxiety piling up within me, I don’t think one thing would solely be the reason.

Anyway yesterday, I had a me day. These type of days, I would usually beat myself up about over because I’m not “using my valuable time” to good use. Time is money as they always say - and yes, I’m guilty of comparing my hours in the day to my hourly rate hahaha. It is by far, the WORST thing any human being can do to themselves in my personal opinion. Yes, it’s motivating yourself to use your time to good use, that you are valuable as a human being and that being productive results in work. BUT, I also feel as if it can deprive you from relaxing and being in the moment. Just letting time take you, and absorbing your surroundings. And I used these *valuable hours* to just literally, play Final Fantasy XIV and Abe’s Odyssey: New and Tasty - because it’s my life ya know. I mean I could of done something a little bit more productive but, I really had a good time ya know. Though I do get the whole guilty feeling of when my housemate comes home and it is that awkward conversation of “yes I have been at home all day, in my pyjamas, eating tortilla chips and playing video games” don’t judge me vibes. 

I’m leaving on the plane with Gen and Hannah at 8:30am for Dark Mofo ahhhhh so much excitement! Even if the whole event isn’t as amazing (as much as I would love it to be), just to get away from everything right now is what I need. I think I do have the travel blues, or the no-direction blues... or the I hate capitalism fuck men and capitalism vibes. And sitting at home with a bunch of things that need to be done, so many thoughts going through my head, no-where to really go. So I’m bringing no check-in just my backpack, my nintendo switch, and a couple of books to focus on. Without the guilty feeling of having something that needs to be done around me. Looking forward to good chill vibes, and we have already booked our events including some music gigs, art exhibits and so fourth - so I am super excited!

Anyway that’s it for me, I think I’ll bring a lil booklet along with me to Tasmania to maybe doodle in and write some cute things. I always appreciate things like that. Also I’m eight months smoking free ahhhh, proud but also will kill for a ciggy haha :)  Until next time, Shan.

BONUS:

Music: 

- Deerhunter, Microcastle (chill rock I am digging these vibes. Nice to just listen to the ambient drones of this band)

- Weyes Blood, Front Row Seat to Earth (Ummm don’t think gonna be everyone’s cup of tea but if you are an emotional person who loves deep music yas. And those vocals are unf).

- Fiona Apple, The Idler Wheel is... (lol long title, but omg this is SUCH a good album I completely forgot. The instrumentals, the power of the lyrics and Fiona’s vocals ahhhhhh so good. I love hating men while listening to this album) 

Read: - I’m not actually reading something but I think I’m going to start Good Omens! My first Terry Pratchet book!
