#they've got an underappreciated potential relationship i think

[the-great-papyru]

flowey goes to the dump sometimes. the junk that comes from the surface is the one thing that isn't the same every load. unfortunately, new items are few and far between.

he runs into alphys on occasion. most timelines he runs before she can discover him. he knows she'll freak out, and he doesn't want to explain that yes, he's her old science experiment. but he can't find anything decent. even if there is something good in the garbage piles, it's buried way too deep for him to locate. so he joins her. and after some annoying unnecessary explanation, the two start looking together. and alphys is... weirdly awesome at it? some of the things flowey instantly disregarded as broken, she fixes right up.

alphys introduces him to anime. even if it's a stupid cartoon for small children (as he very vehemently informs papyrus) some of the fight scenes aren't that bad... and he likes some of the characters a bit... and the story arcs can be okay when they're not disrupted by stupid shipping.

he still hates alphys. she's the one who made him like this. but... she's not as worthless as he thought.

Hi BPP, I hope you´re having a good week.

Have you seen this yet ? https://twitter.com/SUGAJelly9339/status/1656520255135711232?s=20

it´s doing things to me LOL. I felt that in my...let´ s say ...bones.

I also really enjoyed all your recent posts about Yoongi, keep them coming please.

On Yoonmin: Jimin was my getaway drug into BTS. I will always adore him. But then I got to know Yoongi. Game OVER . I adore their interactions, the obvious love and respect they have for each other. Their bond IMHO is rather underappreciated in the fandom (and I dont mean shipping) I mean their connection, support and closeness. We hear a lot about how close JM is to Tae or Hobi, but for the longest time it has been my impression that after JK, Yoongi plays a rather significcant role in JM´ s life. And vice versa.

And while I am pretty sure that from Jimin, it is very much a big bro/mentor/best friend/familial type of love, I am less certain about Yoongi and that makes me sad. B/c I don´t want him to be IN love with one of his closest friends, who is very obviously in love and by all accounts in a commited long-time relationship with one his OTHER closest friends. That is heartbreaking.

well. I will stop there.

One other thing I wanted to mention was how Yoongi, very obviously puts himself into the role of the mentor to the younger artists. The txt guys on Suchwita, Hoshi from 17 too, the whole Snooze...Yoongi just has so much love to give, he wants to help them, he wants none of them to suffer if at all possible...it´s making me emotional just to think about it.

It is fascinating to me, Yoongi, after going through difficult childhood and adolescence, near on ten years of chronic shoulder pain, multiple hate campaigns and the shit industry throws at them on a daily basis and all he has to offer the world in return is Love and wisdom. It is really admirable.

wow this turned out long LOL

So once again, thanks, I really enjoy reading your posts

Hi @atlantis315 !

Your link.

I understand why you might feel that way about Jimin and Yoongi’s relationship. In fact I think it’s a fairly common belief in the fandom, at least in shipping spaces, that Yoongi sort of pines after Jimin or did so at some point in the past. After all, Yoongi is believed to be queer, as is Jimin, and there’s no denying that Yoongi loves him and could possibly find him and/or men, attractive. Lol. But personally, with what I understand Yoongi’s personality to be, that’s not how I see them at all.

Long story short, I wouldn’t feel bad for Yoongi if I were you. He holds very deep affection for Jimin, that’s true, but not exactly in the way a lot of people think. And I have very little doubt that man is getting his ass ate and his marbles juggled. Not by Jimin, and not by Hobi. I don’t have any concrete evidence to back this up, (there was some news I peeked about Yoongi’s potential love interest some years ago that was leaked on a Korean forum, but it was never confirmed and fake rumours are common, plus I’ve seen nothing as of recent), but with what I understand of my bias, Yoongi is the last person in BTS whose love life I’d be concerned or sad about.

(You’re not the only person who feels some type of way hearing that man growl)

The boys in general are no strangers to the toll this industry takes on the idols at the heart of it. They've seen their contemporaries, seniors and juniors toil for nothing, face so much shit, and succumb to vices and manipulation at all levels. The boys care a lot about their peers and the conditions they all work in, they talk about it often, in their magazine interviews, their documentaries, and even during the 2022 Festa dinner. Yoongi is a very empathetic person and often expresses his love and concern for his peers and his fans in his songwriting. It warms my heart to see you recognize so much of that in him too.

Alr y'all here are tpc thoughts I have

Note that nothing I say here is canon (as of now),,,,,,,,, I just like thinking about silly shapes

Some are headcanons, some are just thoughts abt things, some are just cool ideas I had

I'll sort everything I write here into some sections as well

anyways let's get this bread

headcanons yippeeeee

orientation and identity related hcs:

- Cube, Lythorus, and Circumsphere are all homoromantic

- Iris, Cintagon and marcle are bi

- Purpex is a lesbian

- Pentellow and Pyrare are panromantic

- Cube, Circumsphere, Iris, and Purpex are asexual

- Cube and Iris are both trans

other hcs

- heroes have some cat related traits (zoomies, knocking things over, randomly appearing throughout the house, etc)

- Cube is a tiny bit part flower (ty cintagonisupset for letting me steal that)

- not sure if this counts as a hc but cyan and cyanide are so siblings and they're adorable

- Iris and Cube both like to draw

- Cube has an older sister

- Pyrare is 100% the dad friend of the group,,,,,,, I don't make the rules I just enforce them

Ideas about things and stuff

oh boy where do I start

First off, Circumsphere x Cintagon is an adorable ship and I think it should be appreciated more

And second, I have so many thoughs about Lythorus x Cube that I'm just gonna make it a subsection further ahead.

Until then I would like to share my thoughts about what cube's family could look like,,,,,

in the hc section of this post I said that I hc that he has a sister. I also thought about what his mom could look like and here she is

Wabam,,,,, she is very cool and good at fighting. Don't get too attached though because she uh,,,, yeah she's dead. Anyways moving on

I think Iris and Cube's friendship is kinda underappreciated like,,,,,,, Iris was the first other caretaker that Cube met, and also their dynamic during episodes 4, 6, and 7 are just fun. Anyways the sillies are cool

ok it's time for me to talk about my favorite ship in this show lets go

Lythorus x Cube (and why I think it's cute as hell)

these two are so wholesome together you have no idea. The ship is childhood friends to lovers (which is already a wonderful trope) but also???? Their dynamic as a whole is just fun. Like they're just the buddies of all time, they've known eachother for ages, and they would absolutely spoil eachother in a relationship.

They're so goddamn cute AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

this isn't all my thoughts about the ship (I haven't even gone into the angst potential yet (I did a little bit on my cube analysis post though)) but I may share those thoughts one day.

must be real hard to guess who my favorite character is after this post right /s

Anyways that's everything I've got for now, might make a part 2 to this post if I have a lot more ideas in the future. later nerds /lh

Porpentina Goldstein

Porpentina Goldstein, or Tina for short, works in the Wand Permit Office of the Magical Congress of the United States of America having been recently been demoted from her position as an Auror in the Investigations Department for an infraction that resulted in her exposure as a witch to No-Majs.

"She broke the rules in order to protect someone who was introuble," explains actress Katherine Waterston of Tina who also has to wear an Admonitor bracelet as a result of her recklessness. "Though she's really proud to be a part of MACUSA and dreams of succeeding there, when push comes to shove she will abandon the rule book. I found it really touching. She loves the rules, but if someone's in trouble, she can't help herself.

"She is a bit of a loner, and is underappreciated," says producer David Heyman. "She's really good at her job but has been demoted. Ultimately though, her instincts are proved right."

When Tina first meets Newt in Fantastic Beasts and Where to FindThem, their interaction couldn't be any less romantic: she arrests him in an alleyway outside Steen National Bank and brings him to MACUSA for processing."My general sense of who he is at the beginning is he's dangerous and untrustworthy, and probably kind of cute," laughs Katherine Waterston. "Part of what I love about Tina is she's flawed and often doesn't achieve what she is pursuing or things don't work out for her [like] she hopes. But she is good at her job and the moment she sees Newt she knows something is going on, even though she doesn't exactly know what. And that, to me, was the first clue that she's not a total disaster. She has good instincts. She knows she has a lot of potential, but can't seem to convince people of it.

"I think Newt sees that potential in her," she continues. "That's a lot of what falling in love is, you feel someone else recognizing what you have to offer. As their relationship evolves, she sees what's motivating him, and then you start to notice they are both very passionate about what they do, they are both a little stunted, not very good at expressing themselves, and you start to see the reasons why they have become that way. He's very isolated in his work. She is taking care of her sister because they lost their parents when they were young. They're two people who really haven't had too much time to have a good time. In contrast to Jacob and Queenie who are much freer."

Tina lives with her sister, Queenie (actress-Alison Sudol), who also works at MACUSA, in a brownstone in Midtown Manhattan. Being orphans, they look out for each other as best they can. "They parent teach other in different ways - they are very different women," says Waterston. "I'm a bit more the father and she's bit more the mother. She's got a very generous maternal quality. She cooks beautiful, elaborate meals. And maybe in their loneliness they've fallen into that dynamic [of] where I'm trying to be the breadwinner and she's doing the ironing. On some level it's a throwback relationship. On another level they're like two kids in their bunk bed."

"Katherine plays the darker side of the sisters," says Fogler, whose character Jacob falls for Queenie. "She's more cerebral, but also has this great vulnerability. Katherine's a fantastic actress and what she brings to the role is a very specific sensitivity, but also strength. Each one of them is trying to find themselves. They're all fish out of water; quirky misfits who form this little family. And each one has something that is beneficial to save the day."

"You have these two sisters who have raised each other and so we have a very deep bond," says Sudol. "But it's an isolated and lonely life, and these two men come into our world and they're very, very different and exciting and intriguing and our lives are suddenly transformed within a night, being on the run and part of a gang. I think that's something we all want to do. We all want to be part of a gang."

Like Fogler with Jacob, Waterston found much to connect to with hercharacter. "I loved [Tina's] duality when I first read the script. She's a courageous coward. I found that easy to relate to. Most people are not one thing. We all have lots of different, often contradictory qualities bubbling to the surface all the time. We all [have] these different levels of fear and courage, confidence and desire."

"Katherine is very much like Eddie," notes director David Yates. "She can be deeply intense in a good way, and she can be very, very funny. She's got a great physical ability at comedy, which is quite rare. It's a really interesting range. I loved that combination."

"The thing I like about Tina is the complexity," concludes Waterston. "She's inconsistent, she has strengths and weakness and though she's sometimes quite courageous, she can also be intimidated by certain dynamics and situations. She's very soulful, she has a lot of heart, and a bit of ambition in the best sense of the word. She has a deep belief in herself but hasn't quite figured out how to [utilize it]."

"In the Harry Potter world, the magical and the non-magical live in harmony," says Katherine Waterston. "They're aware of each other and magic is much more accepted. In 1920s Amercia you find a very divided society. The magical community is very concerned and fearful of being exposed and there are hints throughout of Salem. And although it's not explored in great detail, you see the concern and fear of being exposed, and that is what gets Tina in trouble. By saving someone she exposes herself as a witch."

Tina's Costume

Tina's outfit, says Atwood, were determined by both her personality and the fact that she's been demoted from her position of an Auror at MACUSA and is trying to work her way back into favor with her bosses. "Tina is one of those quirky girls, a bit gawky, not quite there in her body. I made the decision to put her in trousers from the start, which was not so common in the period but did exist. She's hiding a lot, doing her own private eye thing, so I gave her a trench coat with a really big collar she could tuck her head behind."

Goldstein's Apartment

The home Tina shares with her sister Queenie is a two-room apartmentspread over one floor of a brownstone. Originally written to be their mother's apartment, the styling is "more the taste of an older generation in its furnishing," Craig explains.

"It is very Victorian, the weight of everything, the weight of architectural detail. The fireplaces are huge- big, big chunks of marble- in the style of those brownstones. We took that, we embraced it, and exaggerated it. That was the prominent feature: heavy architecture and dark, dark colors, and very Victorian in detail. It is principally two room with what is called apocket door, a sliding door in between the two. In our case, one was the living room and the back was a shared bedroom. The kitchen was one corner of the living space. It was a big house by definition but they had a very small part of it. They lived very modestly."
