Spin Me Round (2022)

I need to talk about this movie because it is so...

Jeff Baena co-wrote this movie with Alison Brie, and he also directed the movie. And they made the brilliant decision to include Aubrey Plaza, his hot, bisexual wife, who is so underrated as an actor and is the actual best character in this entire movie.

From the moment her character, Kat, starts to interact with Brie's character, Amber, the chemistry is untouchable.

Gonna be so real with you, I did not watch the full movie. There is a supercut with all of Aubrey's scenes that is far more interesting because it tells this really cute story about the assistant to a millionaire CEO falling in love with the object of said CEO's affections.

Spoilers below the cut

Like, they see each other for the first time while Kat is taking a smoke break while reading a book and Amber is out for a jog. They lock eyes for a second, but go back to what each is doing. Then they meet later in one of Amber's cooking seminar things, where Kat's boss, Nick, first makes contact with Amber (via an accidental kiss).

It's then implied that Nick asks Kat to pay close attention to Amber because she then invites her on a smoke break. Amber goes despite not actually being a smoker, and the two strike up a conversation.

It's super clear that Kat has reservations about basically pimping Amber out to her boss, but she still tries to make plans with her.

Plans which get interrupted by the nerdy and awkward other cooks on this retreat, including a character played by Molly Shannon (whom I love), who tries to invite herself on a night out with Kat and Amber. They end up just hanging out with the crowd, but talking to each other.

Honest to god, that talk feels like a first date. Amber asks about Kat's travels and Kat asks Amber about Bakersfield, where Amber is from, and they seem genuinely interested in each other's responses.

I really want a movie where they actually play each other's love interests, like for real.

The next scene they're in together, Kat is waking Amber up to take her to meet Nick and Amber just...goes? Like this woman snuck into her room at like 5am, woke her up by just watching her sleep with Aubrey's patented creepy smile, and she just goes? No survival instincts.

Also, hard same.

Anyway, they drive up to meet Nick at his boat, where Kat leaves Amber with a slap on her ass, which...gay.

The next time we see Kat, she is again pulling Amber out of class, taking her to a party. Amber wants to go change, but Kat tells her that they've got her and takes her to buy a dress.

A long, red ballgown that looks incredible on Amber. The shop lady even makes a Pretty Woman reference. My Italian is pretty rusty, but I'm sure Kat says something about "are you really comparing her to a prostitute?" then laughs it off as a joke.

They show up to the party, hot as fuck, in their dresses. Aubrey Plaza is so fine, y'all. I cannot.

Something happens (idk bc i didn't watch the full movie) and Kat gets Amber out really quickly and they drive away from an intoxicated Nick (ugh).

Then my favorite scene happens.

An unofficial official date between Kat and Amber. Kat takes Amber to the backdoor of a restaurant and somewhat tricks her into making a promise to the cook in exchange for food. The guy brings the food and then leaves to grab wine while they scarf it down then run away so as not to "pay" for the food.

They finally go to the club that Kat had invited her to earlier, getting drunk on Italian wine, dancing together, fending off creepy guys with a broken wine bottle...

Aubrey Plaza shit, you know?

They run out of the club, holding hands, and run through the streets of Lucca, Italy, with Italian music playing in the background, giggling and gasping for air when they stop.

Girls being girls.

Then Amber tells Kat "You're kind of intense," and Kat smiles back at her, asking if that scares her.

"Kinda," Amber says, leaning in closer. Kat, who has definitely been in love with this woman from the start, lets her take the reigns for a second, accepting her kiss when it comes, then pushing her back against a wall to deepen it.

I have watched this scene an embarrassing number of times. The passion and chemistry and just...ugh.

And then there's the below the belt action that happens.

It's a good scene.

It ends way too quickly with Amber asking Kat to stop and Kat stopping, laughing to herself. Amber tells Kat that she has a thing going with Nick and Kat is like "no you don't. he does this with everybody. you aren't special...to him."

I can feel her heart breaking, even as she acquiesces to what Amber wants and starts to bring her back to the hotel or wherever they're staying.

She leaves Amber, sleeping in the car, with the book she was reading, which is about kidnapping/human trafficking victims. A warning.

Because the rest of the movie is super fucked and Kat isn't there because she got fired by Nick. Which is a shitty narrative choice, let me tell you.

Again, I didn't watch this full movie. Just Aubrey's parts. It would have been so much better if Kat had shown up at some other point before the end, maybe when Amber is back in Bakersfield, to apologize for all the shit that happened. I know she tried to prevent what happened to Amber, but she was limited bc of all the power Nick had.

idk I just need more people to know about this movie so that I can get more fanfiction from it.

There is THIS INCREDIBLE FIC that came out just a few days ago, probably because Aubrey is having Her Moment right now. But I would love more. The video is linked above (green text) if anybody wants to just see Aubrey's parts.

Star Wars Characters at a Family Wedding in Ireland

ANAKIN - Gets extremely nostalgic about his own wedding and makes his adult twin children groan in embarrassment. Is in such a good mood that he isn't even mad when Leia calls him a fascist for voting Fine Gael, and manages to give his grandson an effective pep talk.

PADMÉ - So resplendent that the bride is almost jealous but honestly how could you be upset with her she's just so nice. Gets giggly tipsy over dinner and waltzes with C3P0 afterwards. Touches up literally everyone's makeup for them throughout the night and does a better job than the actual makeup artist.

OBI-WAN - Waits til the night is winding down then magically locates a squeezebox, fiddle, a guitar, and a tin whistle and hands them out to start a sessiún. The sing-song goes on until 5am and it's all his fault. His signature song is 'The Lass of Aughrim' because it makes him feel all literary.

R2D2 - Has at least four too many double Jamesons and literally starts arguing with the wall. Shmii finds him passed out under a table the next morning, wherein he swears he's not drinking until Christmas.

C3P0 - Wrecks the heads of the hotel staff over dinner with all his requests, to the point of embarrassing the other people at his table. Conducts impromptu ballroom dancing lessons while the band plays and charms the pants off everyone with his patient explanations of how to foxtrot.

LANDO - Pulls out a deck of cards and starts a game of 21s in the corner. Absolutely swindles everyone. It's okay though because he puts his winnings behind the bar so nobody has to pay for their drinks after that.

AHSOKA - Brings enough weed to share with a chosen few, like an absolute queen. Ends up hanging out in the loo for ages rolling for herself, Sabine, Maz, Kanan, and eventually Ben. Despite her relative stillness and quiet, she enjoys the music more than basically anybody else and people will quote her fondly slagging Anakin over dinner for the next 20 years.

SABINE - Camera queen who tries to look like she isn't enjoying herself. Fools nobody because she keeps grinning and snort-laughing. Her photos are a thousand times better than the photographer's and are the ones that the couple use for their album.

HERA - Helps Leia gang up on Anakin about politics because goddamn it, Leia isn't wrong. Hands out isotonic powder sachets and paracetamols to everyone before they go up to bed. They're gonna need it.

EZRA - Gets so hyper after consuming so much 7up that Hera has to send him to bed before the DJ takes over from the band. Sneaks down later for the cocktail sausages.

DIN DJARIN - Couldn't get a babysitter so he's tucked up at home watching The Late Late and hate-tweeting it.

GROGU - fell asleep in front of The Late Late. Delighted when somebody brings wedding cake to the house the following day.

KANAN - Literally will not be at peace until the DJ plays Kenny Rodgers' 'The Gambler' because it's not a wedding without it. Once that's done he insists on 'Come On Eileen'. Somebody's gotta be the keeper of the flame of tradition, after all.

CHEWBACCA - Requests all the group dances. Rock the Boat, The Siege of Ennis, The Macarena, The Walls of Limerick, Chain Reaction. Bullies everyone into joining in, except Ben who is the absolute antithesis of craic.

LUKE - Every wedding requires at least one merrily drunk uncle and Luke does not disappoint. Suit jacket? Gone. Top buttons? Open. Tie? It's now around his head while he stands on a chair playing air guitar to 'Hotel California'. Ends up puking in a flower pot. Iconic.

LEIA - Would have been okay if she stuck to wine all night but a single gin and tonic on top of the shitty hotel merlot and suddenly she's having an hour-and-a-half political argument with Anakin. Embarrasses the hell out of her parents, brother, and son by smooching Han repeatedly while dancing.

HAN - Organises the pre-ceremony pints. His sotto-voce asides are funnier than anything in the speeches. Quietly sings along to 'Brown Eyed Girl' by Van Morrison in Leia's ear while they dance, prompting all that smooching.

FINN - Sneaks into the hotel's public bar to check the hurling scores on the telly then reports them back to all the lads. Keeps his wits about him regards alcohol so he can take care of Poe later but eats so much cake he feels sick.

POE - Holds court in the bar, telling long anecdotes about his life that are only 75% true. Dances and flirts with all the aunties and nanas and makes them feel great about themselves. It doesn't convince Ahsoka to give him a spliff, though, because she is immune to his charms.

ROSE - The boomers yell at her for getting the DJ to play 'Celtic Symphony' by the Wolfe Tones, but she calls them hypocrites who are oozing postcolonial shame. Anakin offers to adopt her because now she's the centre of the politics argument. Knocks it out of the park at the sing-song because she knows all the words to at least 20 rebel songs.

MAZ - The first to place her handbag down on the dancefloor so as to coax the other nanas onto the floor. Jovially flirts with every man over 18 and under 60 that isn't her blood relation. Asks Poe to marry her.

REY - Finishes at least three other people's dinners. Sings along very loudly to every song that the band AND the DJ plays. Can't dance at all but it doesn't stop her. Should probably check on Ben because she knows what he's like but decides that tonight he's his family's responsibility. Loses her entire shit when ABBA plays.

BEN - Zero craic, God help the poor craytur. Drinks brandy as an affectation and starts quoting James Joyce after four of them. Gets extremely mopey after brandy number six and ends up having a long heart to heart with his Grandda Ani. Cries then throws up. Auntie 'Soka gives him a joint to settle his tummy. Subsequently feels better and then knocks everyone's socks off singing 'Raglan Road'.

SHMII - Begs off the party at 10pm because she's 97 years old. Still makes sure that everybody takes their hangover down to breakfast the following morning for a Big Feed of rasher-sausage-and-pudding, and maybe hair of the dog if they're desperate.

Dance Marathon Episode (Aka Murder On the Dancefloor)-Part 7

I'm not looking forward to the next episode, Let The Games Begin. I only remember small fragments of it, andI know it's almost Literati Kickoff Time and I'm getting nervous. Stall, stall, stall! Oh hey look who it is.

Salty, in her best, nasally Adam Brody voice: One sandweech please. Thinking about @frazzledsoul's headcanon where Dave Rygalski and Max Medina cross paths in California and Max mows Dave down with his car. Dave was really living out Jess' dream. You know what else I keep thinking about the entire time I'm watching this episode? What times these events are taking place. Dave Rygalski is just wandering in fresh faced and bushy tailed at 5am on a Sunday morning to see Lane. He's soooo dreamy. You know what else I'm thinking about? How that bucket of egg salad has been sitting out unrefrigerated for 24 hours and Stars Hollow is about to experience a mass food poisoning the likes of which the town has never seen. No need to worry, On top of the IRS, Child Protective Services, and the Connecticut Labor Board, I'd already added the Connecticut Health Department to my speed dial.

Well isn't that cute. But Alas. Lord Amy giveth, and Lord Amy taketh away.

Dave. Ma'am. Dave: Uh, no, I heard a bunch of people talking about the sandwiches, so I thought I'd come in and try one.

Getting hit by a car would be much quicker and less painful than suffering a slow and agonozing death from e.coli but who am I to play God, I guess. Mrs Kim loads Dave up with sandwiches to bring home to his parents after they return from nearby "Bible Study" (at 5am). Since this is Stars Hollow and everyone is a naive rube, Mrs Kim doesn't question which church or why she doesn't already know these other churchy people in this small town or how it's possible they're outchurching her by waking up at 4am on a Sunday, and totally falls for it. You gotta give it to Dave, he's slick. I'm gonna start calling him Slick Dave. The final opportunity for Lane to at least fake interest in Jess to piss off her mother has just sailed past. Womp womp.

6 minutes left in the episode, ya'll. Buckle in. *heavy, resigned sigh* Rory's about to act like such a salty little b that she's going to... force me to defend Dean. A Salty's gotta do, what a Salty's gotta do…

That's what Dean's parents said about him after his birth.

Shane with the thousand yard stare like her corpse.

Rory Freaking Gilmore! Enough!

I've had it with you.

I'm bored. Okuh. *tonsil hockey* Look, everyone, look at those two kids and how every time you see them they're always sticking their tongues down each other's throats and not talking This is relationship goals, honestly. Rory knows it. This is why she has sand in her panties.

If you've ever wondered whether this actress, Jessica Kiper, knows what a sweet gig it was to get paid to make out with Milo Ventimiglia and say a few lines...she knows. She knows she lived our dream. She has bought it up unprompted many times on social media. You can rub it in our faces, we don't mind. We love you, Queen.

I mean, they've tried. So are you offering? Can they go back to your house and do it in your bed? You're certainly not using it for anything other than sleeping.

They've been there, done that, also in a closet, in the backseat of a car, on the school football field, under the bleachers, in a bathroom...

It was not a telephone pole, it was a tree. You were there, Rory. You were there.

The already dim light in Dean's eyes is fading away. He's thinking, yeah, what is the deal with girls who enjoy sex... I wouldn't know.

Shane wiping the saliva from her mouth is GOLDEN. And yes baby we are always talking about you. If you see me talking at any point in time it is probably about you. Shit, this will have to go into part 8. Bye!

💙 Blue: What inspires you to finish writing a fanfic, and what makes you quit writing one at any stage in the process?

For Store Playlist, it was the fact that it was part of a big bang and I'd feel gross for not finishing it lol. For Left 2 Chill, it was/is a multi-year labor of love that i wanted to see to the end. And the epilogue will be going up in like 12 days!! So we're nearly there! (Also the deadlines I had in my head of September-October 2023 and April 2024 for a 28 Weeks Later joke/reference kicked my ass into finishing... but good lord i still need to go back and make edits bc spell/grammar check has never been kind to me)

As for what makes me abandon one, the fact of the matter is that I don't seriously start enough fics/story ideas to make them feel.. real?? I've mentioned incomprehensible scribbles in my notes app, which were made either bc I wanted to make a comic for them or just write them down before I forgot them (cough cough royal pains manifesto). So like, it's hard to call them abandoned since they were never really started beyond Vibes (halo au... i can see like three scenes for it and no other story beyond that)

As for actual fics of mine that have been abandoned (one of which has gotten a weird influx of kudos despite not being updated since 2018) were from the era of the infamous Deleted Progress of 2019 from when my old iPod Touch was being a douche about its cloud storage. So many months worth of progress... just gone.. it still makes me sad...

Sooo short answer on reasoning for abandoning fics: not being able to commit or literal outside influence I guess lol

🩷 Pink: Do you find a certain character (or characters) easy to write? More difficult -- and if so, do you avoid writing that character (or those characters) when possible?

Jeremy and Zoe are generally easy bc they're just like me fr (oddly specific familial trauma what whaaat), but it really depends with other characters. I've done very little writing for characters other than the boyfs outside of l2c (which! I! Want! To! Get! Better! About!) so like.. the au versions of the characters are generally easy for me bc. I invented them for the most part lol

I guess it was harder for me to pin down Rich, since he was a "main cast" character whose head I spent about the least time in (next to Jared, but I've already gone on abt the meta reasoning for not getting in his head much, and writing him was less hard and more mentally taxing bc i kept fussing over potential readers Not Seeing The Vision) mainly bc the other characters had more interesting things to going on to pick apart

🤎 Brown: How did you decide to write for (or why are you writing) a certain story? (Asker, feel free to chose a specific story you're curious about. You can also let the answerer choose the story.)

I'm gonna speedrun a few bc I feel like it

Left 2 Chill: started playing Left 4 Dead 2 again. Doodled Jeremy saying one of the most metal lines from the game/trailer. Quarantine happened a month later. "Haha look at me writing an au about a viral outbreak during a viral outbreak I'm sure there's no correlation at all."

Store Playlist: worked at a grocery store and watched over the self checkouts. Fun songs played sometimes that I would dance/lipsync to. Funny customer/manager interactions. ("He's sixteen." "Nuh-uh! I'm fourteen!" — "Want some water? It tastes like roses. [...] Want some roses? They taste like roses." — [The cucumber thing]) "Hmm what if self-indulgent blorbo au?"

[Anything for the Weakness saga (hi becca)]: 5am brain rot, brain rot, gay, what if missing scene, 3am brain rot, gay gay gay hgfgvcgg g a y

[therabbitsmuse]

Jotting down thoughts from Peggy Gou before all the memories fade to vague feels.

I really need to start bringing sunglasses to these events lol. idk how i went without them for over 10 years or what has changed. maybe a fun pair of aviators in a bright color so i can look like a robot LOL.

i know I'm just a grandma at heart but how the fuck are people in their 30's staying up dancing til 5am every single weekend? they're truly built different.

i love the Brooklyn warehouse venues but i HATE how far they are from me :') I've debated on moving to BK but i really do love the area where i live for all the other reasons lol.

finally got to see what the hype with peggy gou was about. very lucky to have grabbed a last-minute ticket

trying to make it so that I'm only seeing artists I've never seen before. otherwise, my brain cells + bank account will be depleted so quick lol

goes to show how important the group you go with is -- maybe more important than who is actually playing. I'm beyond thrilled i found this group! i haven't felt close-close with the groups I've been going with for a long ass time now :')

someone came up to me and said i had really cute energy (i think?) and gave me this little rubber penguin haha! he was so cute about it. i was like AW no one's given me anything at an event in a while. it was such a wholesome encounter

[yippeecahier]

2003 by FEJA, CK Trubadix

(Techno/house type song I like with the number 2003)

3: A song that reminds you of summertime

Be Okay by Oh Honey

Dancing in a Daydream by Roses & Revolutions, Weathers

(It's the lyrics and ambience ok)

7: A song to drive to

Missing Piece by Vance Joy

(I always play this when driving to Austin)

8: A song about drugs or alcohol

Hallucinogenics by Matt Maeson feat. Lana Del Ray

(Self explanatory; the verses about Seattle, "crawl back to the life that I said I wouldn't live in," and "find yourself a man who's [...] Christian" really hit. I like the version with Lana Del Ray a lot but I fell in love with Matt Maeson's original when it played on The Spectrum radio)

9: A song that makes you happy

Someone to You by BANNERS (I sing this one full volume when driving home from Austin under the night lights...it's an experience)

10: A song that makes you sad

Medicine by Daughter (About a loved one struggling with addiction and suicidality, an experience I've had more than once but wish I never had at all)

11: A song that you never get tired of

Run Free by Thomas Bergerson, Two Steps from Hell (I imagine my blorbos from Okami to this song, the only video game I have played all the way through more than 3 times, so likewise I never grow tired of the song that represents it for me)

12: A song from your preteen years

El Dorado by Thomas Bergerson, Two Steps from Hell (been obsessed with this song since 2008, so obviously this one is here)

13: One of your favorite 80’s songs

14: A song that you would love played at your wedding

jordan by Joy Oladokun (the ex christian themes aside as they're a bag of worms I won't get into but are also why I love this song; the whole "building our own promised land" and "now I've found love there's no turning back"?? That's just the chorus?? The vibes I want at my secular wedding)

15: A song that is a cover by another artist

Smells Like Teen Spirit by Saint Mesa (I like this one better than Nirvana's original and I do like the original)

16: One of your favorite classical songs

Waltz of the Flowers by Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky (from the Nutcracker but also the Fantasia animation was excellent and imprinted on my imagination forever)

17: A song that you would sing a duet with on karaoke

Lemons by Bri feat. Cavetown (I really like it, it's a song about an emotionally abusive relationship that just really slaps)

18: A song from the year you were born

The Way by Fastball (also imagine blorbos to this one - a bunch of old people who play DnD and disappear from their retirement home together to go fight a dragon as the last hurrah with lots of unreality)

21: A favorite song with a person’s name in the title

Brian is the Most Beautiful by Memo Boy (I like atmospheric deep house type songs ya know)

22: A song that moves you forward

Difference Maker by NEEDTOBREATHE (when I just want to give up and the S/I is really bad this song is a comfort; it both meets me where I am in the hopelessness and gives me hope to keep going)

Laika by Wil Wagner (about the titular character, Laika, the first dog in space; it's

... an experience. You'll need tissues for this one)

Dancing without Music by BRDGS (Self explanatory, reminds me of several failed relationships and why)

28: A song by an artist with a voice that you love

Gun by Siouxsie and the Banshees (Siouxsie has this rich but breathy voice that sounds like how fine red wine tastes)

29: A song that you remember from your childhood

Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) by Train (I would play this on repeat on the CD in the car every chance I got as a kid, usually when my parents would go to Safeway for groceries and I didn't want to go inside;; I have a very specific memory of being in a parking lot in Seattle at night listening to this on repeat)

30: A song that reminds you of yourself

Hurry Hurry by Air Traffic Controller (this is a song about my life with ADHD I stg)

Caffeinatedflumadiddle put up a post on their pjo specific blog - apparently they're quitting because their personal information got too widespread and there was an unspecified incident. They're fine but it made them think so they're quitting the fanfic scene. Caffeinatedflumadiddlebutpjo

Damn. That sucks. I’m on the Son of Sea Foam discord and we’re all scrambling to archive their stuff atm, but if it’s better for them to go, then that’s what’s gotta happen. I just hope they’ll be okay going forwards. x

My #1 post of 2022

I just have to say, sometimes actors are...not wasted on low-level shows, but the talent they exude doesn’t match the rest of the media.

A good example is Charles Dance as Aredian in BBC Merlin. He’s excellent, unbelievably good - but there’s an edge to his acting where you can just tell he’d be a tour de force elsewhere, to compare, think about his Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones. Charles Dance’s performance is always exemplary and when it comes to shows like Merlin, that exemplar talent is sometimes too much for the vibe of the show they’re playing in - especially when it comes to minor villains like that. His death at the end of the episode was an insult to the amount of effort he put into that character. Aredian easily could have been a recurring villain instead- but I’m getting carried away with myself.

In comparison, Liam Neeson in the new season of Derry Girls? Perfect. Outstanding. You see a big-name actor and go AH-HA!!! IT IS YOU!!! and instead of going YES, IT IS I, THE ACTOR WITH THE FAME, Liam instead is relegated to the background where his character belongs, the main group taking centre stage.

I think my point here is that Aredian was over-acted, but its 5am and I just want to talk meta. Kudos to anyone who wants to add their favourite examples to this, good and bad!

*cracks open ask box now that i'm awake and can ramble about the healing yuri*

okay so- i imagine the specific confession that gets them together happens after a big event, like maybe a fancy party or something hosted by the elders for the whole republic, with each elder helping their respective areas with getting everyone outfits and the needed things for them to come if they're disabled in some way, physically or mentally

oyster was swooning over manti the entire party because it was the first time manti had worn anything particularly fancy and holy shit can she rock a dress, that and oyster being genuinely happy at how healthy she is (manti is a very big girl /pos)

when manti first showed up at the party oyster's jaw genuinely dropped and she nearly spilled her drink, ending up very quickly shoving the glass into mussel's (that one envoy npc people ship with staghorn) hands before totally not rushing over to compliment manti about how beautiful she is

party goes about as any party would, people play a few games, everybody dances at one point, but manti spends most of the party kinda tip toeing around, she's hesitant about being there and she's worried about fucking up oyster's reputation, even if nobody knows who she is or remembers what she's done in completely other parts of earthbread

at around 2am people start going home, and by 4am oyster and manti decide to go home, because oyster had finally started to get tipsy and manti didn't want anything happening to her, so they're just walking back to oyster manor

oyster's clinging to manti's arm while manti is just bright red all around, looking away as much as possible whilst still trying to make sure oyster doesn't bump into anything or hit into a light pole

after a good bit of walking, manti suddenly stops, and she just kinda stands there, looking away whilst oyster turns to look at her, asking if something's wrong

"...Are you sure about this?"

"About what, dear?"

"...About loving me..."

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?"

"...I've killed people, Oyster...don't you see the flaw in that? Don't you see the flaw in caring for me so deeply?..."

"...Do you still kill people?"

"...what?-"

"Do you still kill? Would you still kill?"

"...I-"

"What you've done in the past matters not to me, my agápi. What matters to me is what you would do now."

"..."

"If I were to ask you to protect me, would you say yes?"

"...I would."

"Would you kill for me, if I asked it of you?"

"...mhm."

"There's your answer."

"...You're a fool, and a drunken one at the moment, how can I trust you won't turn on me if I do?"

"Often times, those inebriated speak right from their mind, with no regard for the consequence."

"...you're a fool."

"One that loves you very dearly."

manti's smiling warmly by the end of that conversation, wrapping her arms around oyster and pressing her forehead to hers, oyster's standing on her tippy toes to wrap her arms around manti's neck, followed shortly by oyster kissing manti, subsequently surprising the poor girl and causing her to metaphorically melt

they spend a few long minutes under the light of a light pole, just hugging, manti's purring like a motorcycle engine, oyster's laughing softly at the sound, which causes manti to purr loud and oyster to laugh more, it's all around just soft

by about 5am they finally make it home, but neither are actually tired, so they just spend the rest of the morning in their nightgowns, making mac n cheese and toast while manti finally talks about everything that happens to her, explaining as much as she can, going into details and everything, while oyster is happy to listen, happy to learn everything that's happened to her four year long crush over the course of her life

by about 9am, a whole 4 hours later, they've gone through two pots of mac n cheese, manti has explained everything, and oyster is telling her how proud she is of her for managing to survive everything she's been through, for living long enough to end up practically at her doorstep

manti ends up asking what oyster wants them to be, because she isn't too sure what they are after all these

"I'd like for you to be my wife, but I'll settle for girlfriend until you're more used to being properly loved. Is that alright with you?" is oyster's response, and manti goes bright red, but she nods despite the steam rolling off her face

the rest of the day from there is spent with them jumping between turning on the gramophone and dancing to whatever vinyl's oyster has, and just hugging each other, just standing or sitting together and hugging each other, pressing their foreheads together as manti purrs and oyster hums

generally just them being soft until they finally get tired and retire to their room, oyster having to reassure manti that yes it is okay for them to sleep in the same bed

okay rambling complete thank you for coming to my self indulgent healing yuri

I was screaming like crazy reading all of this. I said ot once amd I said again, I NEED A BOOK OF THIS

anyone want some brainworms about a charlos coming of age indie movie? thank @finalgirlcharlesleclerc for this!

opening sequence is short shots of *insert misc european city*. it's that weird just past dawn light, so the city is just waking up, we get silhouettes of the tall buildings, maybe some people going to work early.

eventually we see shots inside a big train station where there's a train pulling in. the first shot we see of carlos is him stepping off the train, looking rumpled and disheveled, big backpack on his shoulder. he's probably fiddling with his phone, restlessly turning it on and off again. he gets off the train, cut to several shots of him hopelessly trying to hail a taxi, him staring out the window as the city goes past, checking into a hostel with polite tight lipped smiles to the receptionist. the hostel receptionist asks much planned while you're in the city? and he kind of shrugs and doesn't answer. goes up to his room, flops down on the bed. goes onto his phone, his face lit up by the screen and tired.

charles is a busker, he plays *insert instrument here*. he loves it! he likes seeing people come in and out of the city, he likes talking to the little kids who dance, he likes flirting with the strangers who compliment him. his haunt is the train station & recently there's been this beautiful man with MASSIVE COW EYES coming in and staring at the long distance departures screen like his life depends on it but he never even buys a ticket?

so eventually after a while charles is like hello? are you okay? and carlos ofc has been miserably looking at the departures screen because everyday he's been thinking maybe i AM an idiot for going on an oe now, maybe i should buy a ticket back to spain and try make amends with my father, where would i even go next?

and charles is like well if you don't know whether you should go home or go somewhere else, why don't you just stay here for a little while? do you not like this city?

and carlos has to awkwardly kind of be like i...... haven't really seen much of the city yet. too busy brooding and being sad.

and charles is like i refuse to let this beautiful man turn his independence trip into a sadness trip. also fuck you my city is AMAZING and im going to PROVE it to you. cue charles dragging carlos to his friend's jazz gigs, an underground bar. they visit an art gallery together. they have a picnic on the riverside. and at first carlos is like ah, charles, i do not know if i would like that, except charles is like c'mon you WILL, you WILL!

and wherever they go he gets carlos to take a billion photos of him and carlos is a bit eh about it at first, like who is this guy who's dragging him around? he looks about 12 years old, and he nags carlos until he agrees to go somewhere because you are young and in *city*! it's illegal to be sad here!

and eventually along the way carlos finds him annoying in an endearing way instead of an actual aggravating way, and ofc he's so busy being annoyed (affectionate) the whole time he's around charles that he forgets about being sad about his dad.

anyway the climax of this is they probably go to a gay bar and as they're walking home at like 5am, when the sunrise is just starting (call back to the opening shots :))) charles is like did you like that? and carlos has been quiet the whole night because he did like it, and he's trying to figure out why it makes him feel happy and complicated all at once. and then the sun comes past the horizon and charles turns to look at him walking backwards on the cobblestone streets still waiting for an answer, silhouetted by the dawn, and carlos is like oh. OH. fuck. and charles is looking at him carefully, and carlos says charles, but can't say anything more, because it's hard being brave.

but charles just softens in understanding and says, i know, and without speaking they go back to charles' flat and they don't fuck but they do fall into bed together.

cue the next morning carlos wakes up to a text message from his dad and just completely freezes up. bolts back to his hostel. charles wakes up alone and texts carlos like ??? and is lowkey heartbroken when there's no reply.

carlos is having a panic attack in his hostel. eventually one of his sisters calls him and she's mad that he has been ignoring their texts, and he feels shameful and guilty all at once all over again, but then she's like fuck dad. i love you, go live your life, just don't fucking go ghost again. are you happy?

and he takes too long to answer, but he does say yes, and she's like, knowingly, you met someone, didn't you.

it's not a lie, even if carlos isn't sure if charles fits what she's implying, so he says yes. she hangs up and he feels a million times better. and then he looks down at his phone and he sees 5 texts from charles that get progressively more and more upset and he's like oh shit. i fucked up.

and because carlos the classic romance hero, he DOES run through the train station to where charles is busking and charles is like ?? and carlos has to be like im so sorry im an idiot, im sorry i left you, and charles is smiling kind of shakily trying to say i was very upset as a joke but his voice cracks in the middle and carlos just feels even WORSE and he goes on a mini monologue about how when he came into the city he was lost and trying to find himself and instead i found you. or you found me.

and charles kisses him as the sunlight is coming in through the huge ornate windows of the train station :)) they live happily ever after THE END.

very specific headcanons of the karasuno first years

view m.list!

— hinata shouyou

showed up to practice with hairclips and hair ties in his hair in his third year. reason being, he was about to leave the house one day and natsu told him to sit down for five minutes so that she could tie his hair and he agreed. so, ever since that day, it's become a routine for him to ask his sister for help to tie his hair.

would also have spare hair ties on hand (yachi most probably loaned a few from him when she forgot her own hair tie)

the most obnoxious bubble tea drinker. he would get pearls in his drink so that he could have a competition with tanaka and noya to see who could spit their boba ball the fastest (daichi had to stop them).

would make the worst wingman alive. like his ideas of getting a girl to fall for you are all from those cheesy ass movies that probably won't work.

the kind to throw a dice to choose which option to shade in for the mcq questions in an exam

— kageyama tobio

definitely slept through an exam once because he genuinely gave up

probably did either tap dancing or ballroom dancing when he was younger and has never breathed a word about it to anyone because he heard someone back in elementary school say that "only sissy boys dance"

as the youngest in the team, his seniors definitely babied him. like if they went for team dinners and had to decide where they should eat, they would ask kageyama what he wanted to eat. but oftentimes he would just shrug and say "i'm good with anything" and then daichi makes the final decision LMAO

super well-versed in skincare and hair products because of miwa (at the mere age of 11, miwa had been drilling all sorts of products into his head the moment she stepped into cosmetology school) so he has a basic skincare routine. he definitely got teased once or twice about it by his teammates but they end up borrowing his products during training camps.

speaking of miwa, she definitely ranted to him about the stupid things her exes have done. sadly, he still has no clue as to how to not trigger women 💀

definitely has the healthiest sleep schedule among all of the first years. he probably sleeps by 10pm and he wakes up at 5am to go on morning jogs before going to school. the first years have a groupchat and they're always unable to reach kageyama after 10pm and he'll wake up to at least 300 messages involving a whole online game the rest of the first years played at 12 midnight.

super uncultured in regards to pop music. the only songs he knows are from miwa's playlist, and he catches snippets of those songs when he's passing by the bathroom and she's showering, or when she's having a karaoke session in her room. one time, the team went to karaoke and asked kageyama what song he knew, and he then said with a straight face, "bad romance by lady gaga."

— tsukishima kei

makes playlists for every single occasion that you can possibly think of. though, the ones he usually plays are his study playlist, r&b playlist, and "how to not murder your teammates" playlist.

secretly a harry potter nerd. like he bought all the books and the merch. he even has a pair of socks for each house. one time, he wore one pair to practice and tanaka and noya could not shut up about it, hence he never wore a single pair to practice ever again.

everyone knows this already, but he's a huge dinosaur nerd. he collects little dinosaur figurines, merch, and even a whole encyclopedia of them. up till he entered junior high, akiteru got him dinosaur-themed gifts every birthday.

owns a little medical kit (you know, the kiddy one), complete with a stethoscope and doctor's coat. when he was younger, he would pretend to be a doctor and akiteru would be his patient. akiteru had to hold back a laugh every time tsukishima said, "you've been a good boy. here, have a lollipop." because his little brother is so darn adorable.

the worst at making friends. before he met yamaguchi, he was pretty much a loner and didn't converse much with others, until yamaguchi just became his friend after the time tsukishima helped him out from the bullies. yamaguchi's the one who asks tsukishima to get lunch together and hang out after school, and tsukishima honestly doesn't mind not having any other friends than yamaguchi.

— yamaguchi tadashi

has just about everything on hand (ie band-aids, hand sanitiser, gummies, sunscreen, tissues) and he's the first years' life saver

reads lots of manga! specifically, shoujo manga. he has a whole collection back at home, and has a whole bookcase for it. the first time the other first years visited his house, they were shocked to see this, but yachi was super psyched about this and thus she and yamaguchi started bonding over them <3

an excellent baker! tsukishima is a sucker for his cookies and always comes over under the pretense of study dates but in actual fact, he comes over to eat his cookies. not that yamaguchi minds, though, he enjoys baking and sharing them with his friends.

collected plushies as a kid. action figures were the norm for other boys his age, but we all know that yamaguchi tadashi is not like other boys. he collected plushies mainly because he couldn't sleep at night (due to the trauma of bullying) and so his mom bought him one plushie, and he got hooked. he has an entire army of them and named them all. after graduating middle school, though, he kept most of them away in a huge plastic box save for that plushie his mom got for him (it's a little brown bear with a bowtie and fur that has definitely seen better days, and its name is hiro).

— yachi hitoka

writes really aesthetic and pretty notes (yk those that you see on pinterest)! she colour codes them too, and she owns a variety of pens, highlighters, and the lot to do just that.

speaking of her insane stationery collection, she's also drawn to those with fruit smells and specifically buys those for special use, like writing cards and stuff. and she also buys lots of washi tape with the cute prints on it to decorate her cards.

back onto the topic of her notes, she writes really fast and neatly! like the teacher could be rapping some longass answer without writing it out and she's copying it down, word for word (well, to be fair, she uses some abbreviations here and there) and not missing a single lexicon. we stan!

always carries a stick of lip balm around and is happy to lend it to anyone who asks

deathly afraid of playing any sort of video games, including otome games. she's scared of picking the wrong options that lead to the bad endings, so she searches for tips, tutorials, walkthroughs, and gameplays before attempting to play. (bonus: she screamed in pure terror upon getting jumin han's bad story ending 2)

[jrueships]

capricorn … don’t hold back 😔

CAPRICORNS are some of the FUNNIEST people i have EVER met !!!! But i don't get them! If you can tell me more about them i would LOVE to listen because like! There's this stereotype i keep hearing from my basic like five minute curiosity zodiac random researches at 5am that they're so COLD and JADED and BORING and a 'daddy' sign WHAT??? Cardinal or whatever lol 😭 n like for SOME i can see it? BUT THEY'RE STILL FUNNY THO! i feel like people meet ONE Capricorn and is all like 'ALL Capricorns are like THIS!!'

Because they're kinda rare? N it's not fair! Or maybe im jus perceivin em wrong cus the Capricorn I've actually MET n SEEN were all super funny n not like OUTGOING outgoing, but with their friends they entertained! There's this one cap im friends (told me hes a cap once & cried when he heard i was a leo) with who has his favorite tiktok dances he just busts out randomly to make us laugh. they aren't like good but he does em cus we like em! He's cool!! In highschool people joked i was goin to an expensive private school (i am now but it's not like prestigious it's just a pain in the ass 😐.), so i played along n said i was goin to Harvard n he actually believed me even after graduation. Before though he was like 'OMG THATS SO COOL IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU YOU'RE GONNA DO GREAT ! I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO HARVARD AFTER YOU FIXED MY COMPUTER FOR ME!!' (i didn't. he fixed it himself while i tried 'helping') n ill never forget it!

Capricorns in my opinion are VERY sweet and easily get a stereotyped rep because people wanna fly over em! N YOU SHOULDNT BECAUSE I THINK THEYRE COOL!! When a cap is sad tho.. They're like. Sad. Head down on the desk in the middle of class sad or curled up in their chair thinking sad thoughts sad. N they always gotta describe how sad they are or can be. It's very sad :( BUT CAPS ARE EPIC I HOPE YOU AND THEY KNOW THAT! More people need to spread positive cap aganda !

[neil-neil-orange-peel]

Hey! I was just wondering, what's your favourite Young Ones/Comic Strip/anything Rik and Ade have done fanfics? Got any recommendations? Doesn't matter the genre, anything goes! Thanks! :)

Hi, anon!

Ooh fanfics, one of my favourite bits of fandom! I'll rattle off some recommendations for you... Although, there are actually a few fics I've been meaning to read for a while and haven't got round to yet... 😅 But here we go!

*Most of these are probably going to be for The Young Ones, purely because there are more TYO fics than there are fics for Rik and Ade's other stuff.*

Alright, first allow me to signal boost my mutuals:

•I know I mention them a lot but anything by EvilEd or frankenbolt is good stuff™.

We call Ed the Queen of Angst because she's a soulless demon who feasts on tears she wrote a fuckton of usually very angsty TYO fic. The big two I often mention are Closets (and the second Closets, which is unfinished), as well as Drop Dead Frederick (which is a TYO/DDF crossover). Closets actually features a lot of Rik and Ade's other characters, such as Bottom's Richie and Eddie, the boys of Bad News and Alan B'Stard. Like I said, these are angst trains so trigger warning for a whole host of dark themes (check the tags). Both also feature the Rivyan pairing, as does most TYO fic with a relationship involved, so heads up for that if it's not your thing. I won't say too much about either of them plotwise... Only that they're both set after TYO (as in, after the events of Summer Holiday).

As well as these, Ed wrote another angsty fic called Another Brick in the Wall, which fans of Pink Floyd will enjoy. Believe it or not, you will find TYO fluff on her ao3 too - like A Very Pratty Christmas - but the main theme is angst. 😂

As for Frank. Well, what can I say? I once stayed up until 5am just to finish one of her fics (Rick is very jealous of me). I'm constantly gushing about Three Times Dead, which is a DDF/Beetlejuice crossover fic, because it's amazing. There are little cameos from... Certain people... And if you're only there for the DDF side, you don't need to worry about not knowing any Beetlejuice lore as it all makes sense. In fact, you'll probably learn something. The Fred in TTD is actually a mashup of Fred and another of Rik's characters, although I won't spoil it and say who. It's a NSFW ooer fic and Lizzie's perspective (importantly, the woman's perspective) during these scenes is just very well written. There's also a little naughty sidefic for TTD, Living with an Invisible Boyfriend.

Frank has quite a few crossover fics featuring Rik and Ade's various characters, including A Very Pratt-Basterd Christmas, Following and One Thing Leads to Another. That last one was my fault. 😂 It's quite dark and NSFW but Rick's character development is satisfying to see unfold. Other niche stuff? Run Away (From Happily Ever Afters) is about Rik Mayall Presents Dancing Queen and Playing Nurse and Intern is about Shock Treatment. Want more smut? Retribution is a rewrite of a scene towards the end of s2e1 of The New Statesman, Talk Dirty to Me is a "there was only one bed" fic for Vim and Colin and Remember my Name is an alternative ending to Drop Dead Fred.

Oh! And she's got an unfinished TYO fic called Me tienes que decir. I think it was one of the first TYO fics I ever read. It's set after Summer Holiday too and is about Rick doing a bit of growing up. Rivyan is eventually planned, though whether or not we get more I think it's worth reading... Along with everything else on her page. 😂

•On the Drop Dead Fred side of things, zombierose3 has written lots of excellent fic. Surprise Ever After introduced the idea - one way or another - of Dizzie Lizzie. It's super cute! I'd also recommend Love Sick Fred. The truth is that I still need to read Dark Lullaby (which is written by zombierose3 and unleashthewords), although I've heard good things and it looks great. And long! Which is perfect.

•We are all very lucky because ColourShot has written lots of sweet stuff for different Rik and Ade shows. There's some for TYO, Bottom, FR&C and Bad News. Notable fics include Not another party, please! because Mike fic is always appreciated and it's a good exploration of him having anxiety. As well as that, there's the very rude and angsty fic Any other day, where Bottom's Eddie is without Richie. This made me cry a little because apparently I do that for horrible, smelly men. 😂 Would you still like me? is about the so very obviously closeted Vim from Bad News trying to come out to his band mates and Forgive Me? is about Rivyan being idiots and almost ruining Valentine's Day. Both deserve buckets of comments and kudos.

I've also got to mention the couple of longer TYO fics he has brewing. Sunshine Superman is incredibly dark (trigger warning for suicide) but I think it's going to let him explore the characters' personalities in an interesting way... Hope that sounds vague enough 😂 I wouldn't want to spoil it. And - last but not least - Oh, Cliff! is a fic with a great premise: Rick finds out that they're all going to die. What will he do? What can he do? Trigger warning for a pretty strong opening chapter, injuries wise.

•HeyMcRaely has some shorts that capture the off-kilter feel of TYO very well. They quite often feature P (the fandom name for the fifth housemate) as well. Check out Our House for a few of them.

•GlitteringKitten has a TYO series that currently has two fics in it (Bonds and Aftermath). I'm in the process of very slowly rereading them because it's been a while but I can promise you that they're both fantastic. A third part is potentially on the way, but I'd recommend this for any Rivyan shippers regardless.

•Starryeyedrichie has some underappreciated fic. Lentils and liminal spaces explores Vyvyan's less than stellar childhood whilst An idiot in love is about Eddie reading a note from Richie that leads to something, for example.

•Recently, SchmillionPizza has been writing a TNS series with a female OC (Amelia Chesterfield). It's dark and smutty and, c'mon, you know you're at least curious. 👀

More generally?

Check out palegingerade's TYO fics. Because there are a lot and they're awesome. Although I haven't yet read it, MercuryStarlight's Love & Mobsters TYO series is sort of legend in scumbag circles. 😂 As I've mentioned another time, there's also the TYO cancer fic, What Doesn't Kill You (the author is no longer happy with it, which is why I haven't linked it). That's obviously extremely angsty so beware. The third oldest TYO fic on ao3 (apparently written on 18th December 2006) is called The Mostly-Secret Diary of Rick and is a prequel to the show and very good. It captures his voice well. There's a completed DDF sequel fic from last year called I'll Run Away With You that I've read part of and am enjoying.

Ah. And I've been meaning to read The Young Ones Versus The Zombie Apocalypse for ages and will one day get round to it! It warns readers of character death but I know people who have read it and liked it so I think it's worth the emotional torture. OH! And The Young Monsters (also available on Tumblr) by @ace-beef is fab! You've gotta love monster AUs. We seem to have all silently agreed that Rick would be a vampire and Vyvyan a werewolf. 😂

Sorry that was a little chaotic! There are other fics I could mention but, to be honest, we'd be here all day. 😂 I hope this helped a little and happy reading!

Thanks for the ask!

🌸🌺🌸 Aether comfort fluff! 🥺✊

I think he'd be very intone with you. Being able to tell when you're not feeling your best. Aether would give you gentle hugs and would feed you snacks. He won't leave you alone until you eat something.

He would make you laugh even if it means embarrassing himself.

Aether would cook for you and let you pick the meal.

If you want to cuddle. Just hold your arms out. He'll scoop you up and cuddle you. Weighted blanket? Yes.

Let's you rant to him. He'll give you head pats as you rest your head against his chest.

Aether will always compliment your strengths and how even while down you keep pressing forward.

He would punch someone in the face if they to take advantage of you in any way. Aether doesn't like when other misunderstand your bad days as laziness.

He would do your work for you when you just cant find it in you to do so.

If you ask for space, he'll give it but he'll be hesitant. Aether loves being close to you when you're upset.

Loves kissing your face all over. You're extremely adorable to Aether. He can't help himself.

I actually think Aether would let cry if you needed and you'd surely catch him wiping his own tears away. (He just wishes he could share or take your pain away.)

Will sometimes force you to hangout with him. Go grab a smoothie or something with him. He'll be happy.

Will literally hunt down a person if they're harassing you or making you irritated. Angry Aether is scary, I think.

Will share stupid memes with you at 4am and send stupid messages like. " Childe's on a date with sister. I really wanna punch him. He's so stupid and tell me with a straight face he doesn't give you fuckboi vibes." " TT.TT I DROPPED MY ORDER OF FOOD!!! AS SOON AS I LEFT THE RESTAURANT!!! I'M GONNA CRY NOW,BYE."

Big on holding your hand. Will dance like a fish for fun. Please join him. He'll laugh even more than he already is.

Would talk about you to everyone. Diluc just smiles and shakes his head. Aether is whipped.

Would watch disney movies with you and sing the songs really loudly.

If you need a 2am visit Aether is up! WHERE ARE YOU?! HE'S COMING!!!

Would let you play in his hair! This is rare. you're special. Will groan if you put flowers in his hair. He'll leave them though.

Terrible pickup lines "Are you from Jamaica?...😏...Cuz you're jamaican me crazy!"

Would playfully roast you if he finds out your contact for him is "simp" he can't deny it. Is totally blushing.

Is dramatic as ever if he hurts himself. Aether:* hits leg on table* DAMN!!! AHHH!!! GUH-FUCK!" *bends over rubbing his leg*

Aether will hug you always. Just stand there and oh? He's suddenly hugging you.

Is honest about how he feels about you. Will tell you his heart if you ask. "Please take care of yourself. I love you and I don't want you suffering alone. You're not a burden. Don't even question that. Come to me. Whenever. I mean it. You're hanging out with someone that's boring, call me I'll come get you, 5am you're lonely? I'm there. Okay?"

Will try your hobbies with you. Aether looks like he'd cry a lot over anime character relationships. Watch a romantic anime with him. He'll die and fanboy. "I hate when they bait us with the kiss" T.T

Would so get jealous of the guys from your favorite animes and games. "He's so boring and his hair is dumb."

[Some fluff from Aether to you. UwU simping]
