"Bitsie, can you hear me?" Just the sound of Jake's voice makes you smile, grainy and choppy as it is. He's been deployed for nearly a year and you miss him so much that it feels like you're walking around with a missing limb.

"Yeah, Jakey. I can hear you. How are you, my darling? I miss you so much." You're so happy to hear from him that just hearing his voice soothes fears you only just seem to uncover every time you hear his voice.

"I'm alright, my Bitsie-girl. Tired all the time because apparently I can't sleep anymore unless you're in my bed. And I miss you too, sweetheart. So much. I'm sorry I left you to the mercy of my mom and sister while you're planning this wedding." He really does sound exhausted, his voice raspy in a way that makes you feel so fond.

"Don't apologize, Jakey! Your mom and Brianna have been amazing. Honestly, they've taken all of the planning out of my hands once I told them what I - what we - wanted. When my mom joined in, I really didn't have to do anything at all, other than stamp my seal of approval over everything." His love warms you from head to toe and is so apparent even just over the phone.

"Mmmm… God, I miss being able to see your pretty smile, baby girl." You can see the smile on his face and the look in his green eyes with every word he speaks.

"I miss you too, Jake. Home doesn't feel like home without you in it." 

It really doesn't. Your life feels empty without him in it.

"I really wish I hadn't been selected for this mission so soon after we got engaged. But, it's the Navy."

"It's the Navy." You blurt out in unison with him, gasping the minute you realized what you said. His quiet laughter sets you off until you're giggling giddily while lying in bed.

"I know our families have been making all of these plans, but I have a suggestion." You're intrigued despite yourself, because while you'd made plans for your wedding, all you really need for it to be the best day is Jake by your side. 

"What if we get married the day after I land? You grab Mara, I'll grab Javy and Mickey and his family and we run off to City Hall and get hitched. Cause Bitsie, baby, I can't wait another minute longer to call you my wife."

The more you think about it, the more you adore this idea. Jake is all you need.

"But won't you miss having your Mama there, Jakey?"

"Of course I will, sweetheart. She raised Brie and me all by herself while running a farm. But I don't want to wait a single minute longer. I just want to marry you, Bitsie baby." Just as you open your mouth to respond, you hear the beep indicating that your time is up.

"I love you, Jake."

"I love you, Bitsie. Goodnight, baby doll. Sleep tight."

When you hear the dial tone, you hang up, letting your phone drop down onto the sheets beside you. For all of the rumors about Jake, you know he loves his mom and sister. It doesn’t feel fair that you’ll be robbing the chance to celebrate with his family from him. Your own parents aren’t likely to be thrilled either. They love Jake and how happy he makes you. What if you plan to have the ceremony on the beach? Invite only your immediate family and your closest friends and have one of the admirals officiate?

You never thought your parents or Jake’s mom would latch onto the idea as well as they have, but they adore the idea. Before you can blink, it’s the day before Jake’s due to come home and you’re scrambling to make sure everything’s ready. You’ve called all of his squadron and Javy and made sure they all know the plan for the day after they get back. You’ve also found hotel rooms for your parents and Jake’s mom and Brianna. Everything is ready. All you’re missing for your wedding is your groom.

You wake up on the morning Jake’s due to come back to a voicemail. “Hey beautiful. I’m sorry, but it looks like we’ll be coming home a bit later than expected. There are storms which are slowing our progress. Everything’s alright. I miss you so much, baby and I’ll see you soon. I love you, my Bitsie-girl. Next time I see you, I’m marrying you.”

It’s with a heavy heart that you call your family and Jake’s informing them of the unforeseen delay. You head into work that day, vowing to keep your days off for your honeymoon, something else that you’ve planned extensively with flexible rescheduling policies. Everybody is more than a little surprised to see you, especially since it seems like everyone on base knows what you and Jake have planned. Admiral Simpson even pulls you aside, asking if everything is okay and that he is pulling all the strings to make sure Jake gets home to you as soon as possible.

His gruff concern makes you feel weepy, sad, and sorry for yourself,  so much so that you’re brushing away tears as you join Mara in your lab on base. Thankfully she keeps the conversation light and about the work you’re doing rather than focusing on Jake’s absence from your life. That’s how your day goes. It feels like time is passing by in a trickle and the worry deep in your gut feels more and more like a tempest in your gut. But somehow you managed to push the thoughts away, immersing yourself in your work. The day passes in a haze and you’re startled out of your meditative state to the feeling of someone patting your arm to get your attention. You push away from your desk and stretch, relishing in the pull of tight muscles that have been locked in the same position for far too long. 

“Yeah, Mar?” Your voice is garbled around a yawn as you turn around.

Mara hasn’t been shaking your arm at all. It’s Jake!

��Jake?” Your eyes widen in surprise, disbelief coloring your tone at the sight of him standing in your lab when you were least expecting him.

“Yeah, sweetheart. It’s me. Even a storm couldn’t keep me away from you.” You launch yourself into his arms before he even finishes speaking, kissing his smiling lips and sobbing into his shoulder.

“Jake! I missed you so much. How are you?” You’re babbling even as you’re examining everything about him. Other than the exhaustion on his face, and a few new lines he looks just like you remember him.

“I’m fine, Bitsie. Breathe.” His eyes twinkle in the waning sunlight as he tugs you close and kisses you, sweet and slow. Your arms rise to wrap around his neck unbidden even as your fingers grasp his curls tenderly. You’re breathless and weak-kneed when he pulls away and he knows it too, if the smirk on his gorgeous golden face is any indicator.

“Take me home, beautiful.” You’re only too eager to comply, shoving your files and laptop into your bag in such a hurry that Mara is laughing at you the entire time. Jake’s hand feels so good in yours that you feel like you’re dreaming the entire walk to the parking lot. You’re so thankful you have Jake’s truck on base because you can chuck his bag into the backseat and kiss him until your lips are spit slicked and red and all you can smell are the faded notes of his cologne and jet fuel.

“Home, baby. I want to feel you on my skin after so long without you.” You’re surprised you don’t break any speed limits on the way home, what with Jake’s hand on your thigh and the way it brushes closer and closer to the seam of your leg. You’re keyed up and nearly panting when you get home. It’s a huge deal that you manage to text Brianna and your mom to tell them Jake’s home, because that’s all the contact you have with your family and Jake’s until the next morning. 

Jake wakes you up the following morning with a cup of coffee and a huge smile on his face.

“Wake up, Bitsie baby.” You love that he’s a morning person, truly you do, but you maybe love it a little more when he hasn’t kept you up until 3 AM the night before.

“We’re getting married today!” Your eyes jolt open at his words, because for this, you’re just as excited as he is. Your wide smile matches his even as you snuggle into his side with your coffee in hand.

“I can’t wait, Jake.” Your voice is sleep-rough and soft, as you sip on the hot liquid, prepared how you like it. “M’gonna be yours forever soon. Sorry, there’s no return policy here.”

“I could never return you. I love you too much to do that.” Jake kisses your forehead before pulling away. “Javy’s picking me up soon, baby. I know I’m technically not supposed to see you until we actually get married, but I needed to kiss you good morning before I left and to tell you I love you.”

Your smile is soft as you take in the soft henley and shorts he’s wearing. You hadn’t even noticed he was dressed for the day. 

“I love you, Jakey. I’ll see you when we get married.”  His grin is as bright as the sun as you shuffle downstairs and wave goodbye to Jake and Javy as they leave.

You don’t get much time to yourself however, as Mara and Brianna pull into the driveway not long after. You have no idea what they have planned, especially since you aren't having a bachelorette party, but wanted to spend some time with your friends the day of your wedding as well.

"Where are we going?” When neither Brie nor Mara respond, you buckle in for the ride, content in the knowledge that Jake is alright and in the feeling of the sun on your face. You must fall asleep in the backseat because you wake up to Mara and Brie both grinning wickedly at you.

“Damn, Bitsie! Jake really must’ve worn you out last night!” Mara’s got a shit-eating grin on her face even as Brie gags behind her.

“I can neither confirm nor deny, Mar. Especially since his little sister is right there.” Your voice is wry as you get out of the car and take in the beautiful desert view. 

Brie just cackles before wrapping you up in a hug. “I know he fucks, Bits! He’s never hid that from me. I just like you too much to think about you and my brother like that. You’re too good for him, you know that?” Her voice is soft as she takes your hands in her own. “You make him so happy. I love seeing him like that. You keep him that happy and we’ll never have problems. And he’d better keep you that happy too. Or I’ll be having problems with him. He knows that, Bits.”

Your eyes are misty as you hug your soon-to-be sister-in-law for several long moments before wiping at your eyes and gesturing to the colossal building in front of you.

“So what are we doing here, you two?” 

“We’re having a spa day! So we’re going to get you all pampered and ready for Jake to sweep you off of your feet!” Where Brie leaves off, Mara continues. “We’ve got bottomless champagne, massages, mani-pedis, face masks, mud baths and more planned.”

When you just blink at them, because you’re sure you’re hearing things, they both just drag you into the facility after them. 

Six hours later, you walk out of the spa with your hair and makeup done and feeling more relaxed than you’ve ever been in your whole life. Every knot in your body has been pounded into submission and you’re so excited you think you’re likely to start crying if you think about Jake waiting for you in his service whites. You’re that happy that he’s home, that he’s safe, and that you’re finally going to be tied together for every struggle that life brings. The mood is light between Mara, Brianna and you as the three of you scream lyrics out the open car windows on your way further into the desert. 

The midday sun is just beginning to set when the three of you pull into the parking lot near Mav’s colossal desert hangar. It’s here that you and Jake will be getting married, officiated by Mav, with all the Daggers in attendance, as well as your immediate family, Jake’s mom, and Brianna. But you don’t get to see the magic Penny and both your moms have wrought on the hangar, as you’re immediately led by Mara into the trailer Mav has behind the hangar the minute the car stops. Your mom’s waiting there, to help you into your dress and Brianna and Mara into their bridesmaid dresses. 

Your dress is simple, knee length with lace all over and a flared silhouette. It’s not a conventional wedding dress by any means, but you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world when you look at yourself in the mirror. As a final touch, you wear the heirloom emerald necklace and earring set that Maria Seresin wore on her wedding day as well as the shoes that match. Your mom is misty-eyed as she draws the veil over your head.

“You look beautiful, sweetheart. Jake’s not going to be able to take his eyes off of you.” She wipes the tears from under her eyes. “Your dad’s waiting to walk you down the aisle, darling. He’s already made Jake promise to take care of you when he called to ask us permission to marry you. So this moment, it’s just about you and the man you love. We’re so proud of you. And we love you, so much.” Her voice cracks for the last few words and that’s when your own tears spill over.

You thank everything you know that the ladies at the spa used waterproof makeup on your face, because without it, you’d look a mess. You hug your mom tight and watch her go with the oddest feeling in your chest. You feel like you’re on the precipice of something unknown, and while you’re filled with the deepest joy you’ve ever felt, you can’t help feeling melancholic. You want to marry Jake, you love Jake, but marrying him feels like you’re shutting the doors to the life you lead before. It’s a challenge you’re willing to undertake, but it feels awfully final, taking this step.

“You look beautiful, honey. Are you ready? You can tell me, you know?” Your dad sounds so sad to give you away.

“Tell you what, dad?” You wrap your arms around your dad’s frail form and wonder when he started to grow old. This is the man who held your hand when you were learning to walk, the man who taught you how to ride a bike and drive a car.

“If this boy isn’t who you want to marry, just tell me and I’ll help you run away, okay?”

You have to laugh at his words, though your giggles are choked with tears. “I’m sure, dad. Jake’s the man I love, the man I want to spend the rest of my life with.”

“I had to try, honey. I’m so proud of you, of everything you’ve accomplished as a woman, and I look forward to everything you accomplish as a wife.” You’re nearly sobbing again at the soft kiss your dad presses to your forehead. You brush the tears away and ready yourself to walk down the aisle towards the man who will be the rest of your life.

You cradle the bouquet of pale pink roses and baby’s breath in your right hand while you loop your other arm through your dad’s.

“I won’t let you fall, honey. I didn’t when you were learning to walk, I won’t now.” You kiss your dad’s cheek softly, hearing the hitch in his breath as the first swells of music float through the open hangar doors. 

It’s a song you’d mentioned on the off chance to Jake and your heart swells hearing the tones as Mara slips through the open doors on Mickey’s arm. Then Brianna and Javy. You can hear Jake’s gasp of surprise at the sight of his sister from where you are. Then your mom and Maria walk through the doors arm-in-arm. Standing in front of those open doors on your dad’s arm, a sudden fear halts your steps. Can you be a good wife to the beautiful man on the other side of those doors? Can you take care of him through everything else that you’ll face in your lives? You pray you can, because you’re not sure you could live another day without him by your side.

Your steps are perhaps too fast as you walk through the doors, but the minute your eyes meet Jake’s all your fear and hesitation fly away. He’s looking at you with so much love that everything else fades to the background. With each step you take, he mouths the words, “I love you” to you, and you can’t help the giddy smile on your face as you look at him.

His smile is brilliant as he takes your hands in his after lifting your veil. You’re consumed with the urge to kiss Jake, and you can’t help how you peck his lips, chastely just once.

“Alright, alright, kids. Settle down.” It’s Mav whose words separate the two of you, even as Mara, Mickey and Javy heckle you.

“We’re gathered here today to celebrate the union of this young couple before me. I never thought I’d see Lieutenant Commander Seresin get married. In my time as his superior officer, I’m sorry to say that for much of it, I saw his reputation rather than the man he is. Until he met the beautiful woman he’s marrying, the woman he calls Bitsie. Their relationship has been far from easy. For Jake, it was love at first sight. For Bitsie, it took heartbreak to see his love. But whatever their journeys may have been to get here to this very moment, I’m honored to marry these two today. Our couple thank you for taking this time to witness their union, as do I.” He looks so proud to see Jake standing there in front of you. 

“I believe our couple have prepared some vows. Lieutenant Commander Seresin, if you would please?”

Your gasp of surprise is gentle and soft. You never discussed writing vows for one another.

“My Bitsie-girl. I know, you’re surprised that I prepared something, but in truth, I couldn’t see myself marrying you without telling you how much I love you. What Mav said earlier is right. I never saw myself marrying. It takes a special woman to withstand the stress and distance that the Navy can create in a relationship. I never thought I’d find that woman. At least, that is, until the day I saw you walk through the hangar doors in Miramar. You were breathtaking to me even then. It didn’t matter that you saw somebody else before me. I’m good, I’m very good and I had you in my target sights the minute I learned your name.”

Your giggle is watery at his words.

“It took another six months for you to see me, and Bitsie-darling, I would have given anything to change that day. I never wanted you to get hurt. I thought he was the right man for you, I truly thought he loved you as much as you loved him. So when I found you crying in the middle of the worst storm I’ve ever spent at sea, I took it upon myself to see your beautiful smile again. I don’t know when I changed in your eyes, but that day? That was the day when you changed in my eyes. I saw your strength, even when you cried in my arms. I saw the core of you. I saw how even when you were wounded you kept moving on. It never once affected your work, sweetheart. Your heartbreak never once kept you from excelling.”

“I’ve fallen in love with you more and more every minute of every day since then. Every day that I wake up to you in my arms, I’ll consider myself the luckiest man in the world. You mean so much to me, Bitsie-baby. I vow I’ll spend the rest of my life keeping you happy. I vow you’ll never want for anything. I know I’m only a man, I know I’m not perfect. But I vow I’ll do my best to make sure you’ll be loved everyday and every night. I love you, baby. It was the best day of my life when I asked you to marry me and you said yes.” 

You’re sniffling when he stops speaking, your tears welling over as he pulls a packet of tissues out of his pocket and hands you one. There aren’t very many dry eyes in the audience when you look out at your friends and family assembled before you. You pat your tears away before taking Jake’s hands in yours.

“Jake,” Your voice breaks just saying his name. “I can’t believe there was ever a time when I didn’t love you. I can clearly see the line in the sand of life, clearly marked before Jake and with Jake. It shames me to think of those months before we met, those months where I didn’t like you, where I treated you terribly, and thought the worst of you. Then he cheated on me, and fell from the pedestal I’d put him on, and I saw the truth. That rainy night was the first time I’d ever seen you as a friend, Jake, and I wish I’d accepted your overtures of friendship before then. You felt like home when I was far away from everything I’d ever known and when my heart was bruised, battered, and broken.”

It’s Jake’s turn to sniffle as you gather your errant thoughts and put them into words.

“Those first three months on the carrier were the happiest I’ve been in a long time. And that’s all because of you, Jake. You helped me find friends in people I’d only thought could be colleagues. You’re a better friend than anyone ever gave you credit for being, Jake. I’m still not sure when I fell in love with you, but I did love you. I loved you that day when I nearly lost you before I ever told you how I felt. I thought I loved my ex, truly I did. But the love I felt for you that day, Jake? It exceeded every milestone I thought love could ever possibly reach.”

At this moment, all you care about is Jake. You have tunnel vision, focusing on his face and only his face.

“So this is what I promise you. I vow to love you, through every earthquake and flash flood life throws at our feet. I vow that I will never again disregard your presence or its importance in my life. I vow that even when we’re gray and old you’ll still be my best friend. I vow that you’ll always be my partner in crime and my reason when all else is lost. I love you, Jake.”

Even Mav sounds choked up when you both turn to him. He takes the ring box from Javy and finally speaks the words it feels like you’ve been waiting your whole life for.

“This ring is an unbroken circle, with ends that have been joined together, and it represents your union. It is a symbol of infinity, and of your infinite love. When you look at these rings on your hands, be reminded of this moment, your commitment, and the love you now feel for each other.” 

Jake’s green eyes are just as teary as yours are.

“Jake, place the ring on Bitsie's finger and repeat after me: I give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge: to love you today, tomorrow, always, and forever.”

Tears drip down your cheek as Jake utters the words before winking at you.

“And now… Bitsie, place the ring on Jake's finger and repeat after me: Jake, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge: to love you today, tomorrow, always, and forever.” 

Mav’s voice wobbles at those last words, and you don’t sound any better as you repeat them.

“Before these witnesses, you have pledged to be joined in marriage. You have now sealed this pledge with your wedding rings. By the authority vested in me by the great State of California, I now pronounce you married! You may kiss your bride!”

Jake’s eyes glint mischievously as he tugs you in and kisses you, slow and sweet. He tastes like cinnamon and you kiss for several long moments before the cheering of everyone you love separates you.

Waiting for you as you turn to face your family and friends is a sword arch. Flower petals cascade over your head with each step as you walk towards the entrance of the hangar. You’re smiling from ear-to-ear as you walk down the steps with Jake’s hand securely in yours. You know exactly what you’re getting into when two swords bar the way.

“We challenge you, Lieutenant Commander Seresin. One kiss to pass.” It’s Mickey saying those words, and it’s a request you’re only too eager to comply with. 

When you and your husband, your husband, walk through the doors, you see a fairy tale scene. There are string lights festooned all over the place, shining merrily as Mav announces you and Jake as Lieutenant Commander and Mrs. Seresin. You spend several long moments hugging your friends and family before a familiar song has you turning in your tracks. It’s Jake, still wearing his Navy whites holding his hand out for you. You take his hand easily, gasping and laughing when he spins you out onto the dance floor.

Started out on a one-way train

Always knew where I was gonna go next

Didn't know until I saw your face

I was missin' out on every moment

You’re tearing up again, even as Jake spins you around on the dance floor.

So if it's real

Then, darlin', let me know

I wouldn't mind

If you steal the show

You had no idea that Jake could dance like this. He takes your breath away, even as the lights make his eyes glint mischievously and his hair shines golden. Your golden boy, your husband. You get lost, staring into his gorgeous green eyes, coming back to yourself only when your chest is heaving and applause peppers the night air. That’s how the remainder of your night goes, dancing with your friends, dancing with your family, dancing with Jake again, and again, and again. The sun is rising on the horizon when the party finally breaks up. Jake and you settle into the backseat of Javy’s convertible exhausted but ecstatic.

“Was today everything you hoped for and more, my Bitsie-girl?” Jake’s voice is slurring in exhaustion, his Texan twang blurring each rough syllable.

“Our wedding was everything I wanted and more, Jake. Honestly, I was ready to marry you in City Hall. But having our friends and family there made it even better. I know how important it was for you to have your mom and Brianna there for your wedding. I would’ve done anything to make sure your family was there.”

The wonder in his eyes still makes your breath catch in your throat. 

“Why, Bitsie, baby?” 

“Because I love you. And this?” You point to the ring on your left hand. “This is for forever. Your family is mine. And I love how much they love you. Your mom, and Brianna love you as much as I do. There was nobody else I’d rather have standing for you during our wedding.”

The rest of your words get muffled by the kiss Jake presses to your lips. This? You’re ready to kiss Jake and be kissed by him for the rest of your life. It’s a price you’ll readily pay. If only you could go back in time and tell yourself when you were hurting after Bradley cheated that something better is waiting for you, if only you open your eyes to it. It’s something you’re so glad you did. Jake’s the love of your life. You know that now.

haikyuu rewatch s01e01

i've been itching to rewatch the series lately and a few years ago i did something similar for miraculous ladybug where i wrote up like a stream of consciousness/commentary post and made a gifset for each episode and i wanna try to do it again for haikyuu?? we'll see if i stay committed or not lol—gifsets per ep probably a lot more likely to continue than commentaries tbh, these things are long and not thought out so,

anyway let's start with episode 1, who wants to take bets on how many times i get teary-eyed?

ughhhhh how did i not know IMMEDIATELY my first time watching what a fucking banger of a show this would be. this opening scene is sooo aah. the voice over with the sounds of the balls and shoes, the actual content of the 'a tall tall wall' monologue, and then the visuals of just hinatas shoes stepping up to the line and then 'it was a view i could never see on my own' and the rest of the teams shoes step in??? FUCK

holyyyyy and bc im obsessed i know who is who based on their shoes in that lineup and after thir 'onigaishimasu' and they run onto the court they all run in at different speeds?? and like tanaka goes quick and kageyama bounces on his toes and tsukki is all like unenthusiastic?? what the fuCK bro

its been literally 40 seconds and im in awe aaah

oh.. oh no it's the intro. i was joking before about getting teary-eyed but uhhh

how long has it been since i watched season 1 omgg 😭😭😭

gOD the opening is so good, not just imagination but the visuals rrr the practicing shots and the animation on all the volleyball looks so great wowow

one of the less talked about of the many crimes of getting movies instead of a 5th season is definitely the loss of another amazing opening and ending

damn did i really never realize that karasuno of the little giant's time didnt JUST go to nationals but theyre playing on center court when hinata catches them on tv? meaning its either the semi finals or finals, damn lol

hmmmm i am already conflicted about whether or not i wanna talk about manga spoilers in these writeups lmao. tumblr blockout spoiler text WHEN

anywayyyy manga readers hinata on his bike watching little giant on tv iykyk (and if you know me lol) right

rrrr the imagery of the crow flying into hinata from the screen with still the sounds of the balls and whistles aaah what a cool way to show inspiriation

huh, the libero is no.2 not no.4 is that manga accurate from just before furudate decided that it was a Thing for karasuno or did the animation not check?

okay i checked and you literally can only see the little giant in the manga and none of the rest of the team so im calling it an oversight on the animation side lol (understandable, tbh when youre just making people up to fill in the shot, you arent thinking about jersey lore)

no one cares but my japanese is surprisingly better than when i first watched (at which time i knew nothing) and i can actually understand a few bits here and there without the subs

reading the occasional katakana in the background is fun too. mmmm i should try looking at og scans of the manga to see how the sound effects are intended to be read, ive heard the way furudate incorporates the characters into the action as the sound itself is really well done

air salonpas!

oooo one of the teams practicing spikes had one guy hit left handed, thats a fun detail!

dude hinatas friends are such homies i swearrrr

'whats our opponent kitagawa daiichi even like' 'idk! but we're gonna win!' lmaooo hinata you coulda done SOME research

ooo the shot of kitagawa walking in and looming above hinata is so well done, they look huuuge. i know factually that kindaichi and kunimi are tall but i tend to forget, kunimi especially, hes got short energy to me 😅

yessss and the shot of kagyama walking by and just like his Aura is enough for hinata to pick up on the king vibes yooo its so goood

kitagawa daiichi banner is just 'victory' lol okay

i could use some of hinatas blind confidence in my life lmao

oh jk its bathroom tummy ache time

man the set up for kageyama as like powerful early on is SO good, weve only seen him twice so far and both times it all above the king cape, which im pretty sure is also supposed to represent how hinata sees him which rrrr what a great way to set up their dynamic knowing everything that's to come. greatest opponent to greatest ally etc etc

also thinking about how this IS basically all hinatas POV (including the quote i just referenced) and what kageyamas POV of hinata is when he looks back on it all 👀

kageyama telling hinata he shouldnt talk big bc he isnt even physically ready (referencing tummy ache), and hinata right off the bat telling kageyama 'the six of us go all the way' and kageyama responds 'i will win every game' oooo yep they both got some things to learn from each otherr

seriously how is hinata like the friendliest person on the planet. his team is SO bad and all he cares about is that he's finally on the court, he's so positive and determined even when they're doing terribly and his friends dont know wtf is going on

🥺🥺🥺 he's so happy seeing his palm all red after spiking the ball successfully the first time waaah

sjkhdk i always laugh at 'well there IS a foxy senpai on the girls team' lmaoo like he could have just ignored that part of the question, and who translated it to 'foxy' anyway lmaoo

koji, soccer friend, coming in for a foot receive! he missed lol but for real hinatas friends are so cool showing up for him like this

i mean, they are also avoiding him when he tries to practice throughout middle school, but they showed up here when it counts

love that you can see the 'mild internal bleeding,' as kuroo would call it, on izumi's arms when he tells hinata that his arms hurt lol

akjhsakjsasj they hype hinatas jumping skills, the music swells, you think hes got it, aaaand then immediately triple blocked and the music cuts back out lmaoo. honestly, love how haikyu always plays with expectations like that

half time serve routines my beloved.... i miss you..

'we keep trying.. because we havent lost yet' <333

but also kunimi, what a mood lmao

the animation on hinatas slide hit after the toss missss aaaah, and kageyamas bangs like whipping in the wind before he reaches as far as he can aah god this whole sequence is so beautiful

kageyama after knowing hinata for roughly 30 minutes: "this guy overwhelms me" skagsajsa

he has every quality to be someone even better but—WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THESE PAST 3 YEARS?? 😭😭😭😭

karasuno senpai in the crowd!! related dumb question time, why isnt tanakas hair blond here? he should be a first year atm, and the beginning of the ep said this match is about 3 years and 3 months after little giants nationals (which is in january, although iirc the month changed sometime around those years so possibly it was in march during his time—hence why call 'spring tournament') but either way if hinata and kageyama are still middle school third years then tanaka should be a first year and thats when his hair was blonde. likely in universe answer i guess is just that this tournament is after the practice match where karasuno loses badly and gets made fun of which makes tanaka respect his senpai more and shave his head lol. which also, if hes here with them at this middle school tournament also makes sense with that so. question answered i guess

'if you want to be the last one standing then become strong' waaah

awwww the first years that he recruited to fill out his team stayed with him to practice with the middle school girls team!! they caught the volleyball bug <3

not me pausing to try and see which one of them is the foxy senpai..

lmaoooo the "old ladies team" that hinata practices with are called the yukigoaka beauties lol nice

yoooo hinatas running toward the gym for the first time and a crow flys away and a feather crossed in front of hinata niiiiice

let me tell you i had relatively low expectations for haikyu my very first time. i just wanted something easy to watch while i ate my lunch during the day, and i thought it would just be a predictable underdog story where hinata gets revenge for middle school. and i wasnt against that, i was relatively entertained this whole episode, then it gets to the end and reveals that kageyama has to be his teammate and i was like OH this is gonna be GOOD good. immediately have me hope and reassurance that the show knew what it was doing and wasnt gonna just be typical cliches etc

fuck i wish i could watch again for the first time

i warned you this would be long lol, honestly these writeups are more for me in the future to like remember my thoughts etc and like i said we'll see if i keep it up lol

Bethany's Bizarre Miraculous Reviews Episodes 3-25 and 3-26: Heart Hunter and Miracle Queen

So, this is it. Goodbye, Chloe.

You ever think about how weird it is that Miraculous season 3 still uses the season 2 opening despite all the new heroes and kwamis introduced? We got to see 6 more Miraculouses here out of the 12 of the Chinese Zodiac.

So that's where pizzaboy Luka came from! Seems to be a delivery boy more than anything.

Yes! Luka! And hopefully Lukanette!

pfffft Gabriel really busted out the "Our get along shirt"

Yes! Kagami and Adrien having friendly interactions with Marinette!

Andre needs to divorce his garbage heap of a wife. Does he know about the affair?

Yes! Kagami and Adrien spending happy time with eachother!

Yes! Silly Kagami and the three having mischevious antics!

Ooh, the ballpit pool as well! The three of them are so cute and fun together. Now all we need is Luka and we'll have the superior love square! One that's actually a square as well!

Kagami might have feelings for Marinette too?! Whoopee!

Marinette with her hair down is peak.

The Evil Egg that Eats Everyone

So the ice cream guy isn't really polyamorous, but just concerned about having too many flavors? I mean, peppermint and orange kinda sounds like toothpaste and orange juice, but searching it up there are people who think otherwise,

Marinette letting Adrien and Kagami be happy together. Yippee!

Master Fu's monologue really went back to normal halfway through, huh?

Steals your girlfriend

And there it is. Honestly it's less of a jape and more of a downward spiral. Chloe wants to help in deakumatizing her parents, Ladybug broke her own rules by bringing back Ryuko when Hawkmoth knows her identity as much as Queen Bee's, and paralysis being a better fit for this fight than Logias. Girl felt abandoned by her crush, and Hawkmoth only manipulated her in person because he couldn't do it with an akuma, as well as it giving her the special treatment she craved.

And the superior ships fall into place.

The bees actually stinging people wasn't in the budget?

Now that's what I call a hive mind!

Oooh, and the moth's back as well!

I'm glad the water voices aren't back. Oh yeah. A lot of stuff's coming back. This really is a season finale!

Love me a good boss rush!

Again with the baldness.

And yet, Ladybug tries to get Chloe back on her side. What an angel.

Pfft she's really putting on everything

And there's Chloe's villain meltdown. Ladybug didn't even tell her she couldn't be Queen Bee anymore. Chloe broke ties with Ladybug on her own.

Why and how are they in love again? One's a karen and the other's a pushover.

mmmm, crumbs of Julerose.

And so we get Lukanette and Adrigami. They should've stuck with these ships and abandoned the love square, but no. Not even for one measly episode.

It's been said a bajillion times before, but it's weird how Miraculous says a grown adult terrorist with too much beef with two 14-year-olds can be redeemed but a 14-year-old with blatant issues is irredeemable and the scum of the earth. Admittedly this wasn't as bad as expected. I know the first two episodes of season 4 are going to make this look like paradise. So much disrespect. I'm probably going to watch the two specials in this season, and move on to rereading that fic I decided I still love and take a long hiatus to review a different Franime series. One I've known for much longer, and feel much fonder about as well.

Four in One Post

For the Trade i ask.

It's really Sweet to see these OC Couples fighting off the dinosaurs. Since I have remembered my dad played the first and the second on the Nintendo 64, what i don't like was the Lefty controls in the Nintendo 64 version. But since i just ordered the Trilogy on the Switch, the controls are much since the controls are just right. But i'm sure both the other Multiplatform versions like Xbox and PC would be something for both you and our A-Pal to try. And ever since i saw Deev played the PC version during his live stream, and they're really funny. And i was lucky i did made a birthday drawing about that for him and include Sam, Jo and Luna to tag along with him. But i'm sure Luna might try it as well, but i don't think she might be into that, even if she's always into Magical Girl Anime and Nintendo and Sanrio as well as for Cartoon Stuff. But let's hope Shadow, Lisa, Spot and Vanilla will survive by hunting Dinosaurs as well as for Hunters that look similar to the Cartoon Network characters or even people in Bikini Bottom.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: Alright, we'll take out the dinosaurs and hunters whenever we see them!

Lisa 😺❤️⚡️: Right! I know this is my first time experience this game ever since you, your dad and Deev played this game.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: Yes, and Thanks to Spot and Vanilla helping us, we'll be sure to hunt anyone who gets in our way.

Lisa 😺❤️⚡️: Totally!

For Two Responses

First Response on our A-Pal's Pic.

I would ask the same thing because Sanzaru and Sucker Punch have not been doing anything Sly Cooper Related for so long. I mean i know Sly Cooper Thieves in Time was good, but it's been over like 11 years good, and it's time we could go for another one. And it's too bad they didn't release their movie after the Ratchet and Clank movie got terrible ratings, if Sony Pictures were to still produce the movie or show with PlayStation Productions, that would be really nice. I know they did well with the two PlayStation movies, Uncharted and Gran Turismo. And Last of Us which is just a TV Series which we're okay with. Also, i didn't know Sucker Punch worked on the Ghost Series. Not only they made that and Sly Cooper, but my brother and i also played another title called Infamous which the game is quite good. We've played the second and maybe the first one. But i would love to try Second Son even though it's just an okay game on the PlayStation 4. But i should give the Ghosts Series a shot if i have enough dough of me playing any of the PlayStation 5 title.

Second Response on Christmas and my trip with my Social Club.

It's kinda bizarre that a lot of people in my country have been setting up a lot of Christmas stuff this week. Since i know Thanksgiving is only about 6 days away, and afterwards, my family and i would put our autumn and Thanksgiving stuff away and get the Christmas stuff out. And while i start the Christmas exchange with you and our other friends, i have to focus on making a birthday drawing for Luna since her birthday is 10 days before Christmas. And yeah, we do have Whataburger in my state, AZ, I only have like 20 of them. And i'm not sure if other states have them. I know Texas does, but i would refer getting some in Arizona. They have the best ketchup, they have the best milkshakes, they have delicious food as well, and they have the best breakfast there is. And my mom loves having their food, their shakes and their breakfast, and i'm sure my mom enjoys having their pancakes even she got pregnant with me. Plus, i'm sure the Speedsters and the Rabbits would love to try some as well.

And Message from Debby and Paul.

Debby 😺📱🖥️: Mmmmm I just love their pancakes. They're so good. I hope you'll like some Rita. They taste good as well as for other breakfast food at Whataburger. Even Windy might love these too. My Husband had some as well as for other Breakfast options as well. But i hope you and Windy will both love it. Same with their fries and Ketchup.

Paul 😺⚔️⚒️: Well, i do like their breakfast too. Their Taquitos and Sandwiches are really good. Same with some of their lunch and dinner meals. And for Bonn and Scottie, i hope you both like the Taquitos, they got some in hash brown sticks, sausages, and Bacon too. And Scottie, if you and your wife are not into eating meat, there's always the Pancakes platters and Egg Sandwiches and Biscuits you both can have. Even Sam will love them too. Plus, the Cinnamonrolls are good too. I know Debby and i never had them, but i know they're really delicious alongside the Hash Brown sticks.

Debby 😺📱🖥️: And for Lunch and Dinner, there's always Burgers and Chicken tenders and Whatawings. Plus, their onion rings and fries are good too. But i hope you four will like them. As well as for their desserts and salads too.

Thank you, Debby and Paul. And now let's get onto our Filipino Friend's on This Day Post.

It looks nice seeing Murukir looking at the sunset. And yeah, i have used Microsoft Paint so many times from different Windows systems, until i got tired of using it. And lucky for me, i do have Medibang Paint as well as for Colors Live. But with Medibang Paint, i'm also going to test out some of the shapes as a test shot for one of my upcoming drawings. But it'll take a lot of practice getting use with Medibang Paint's shapes compared to using the shapes with Microsoft Paint. Maybe i might keep on with the improvements when drawing with Medibang Paint on my computer, IPad and Cellphone. But i hope with the sunset, let's hope the OC Couples would enjoy seeing the sunset. Even as themselves or as mermaids. Plus, i'm sure they could enjoy hula dancing while the sun is setting.

Also, i do like listening to Lo-Fi Music as well as for some ASMR and Calm Video Game Music anytime i want to relax. Same goes for listening to relaxing music on the beach.

Tf eu #5 rambles under the cut

Obviously, the most important thing is that MY WIFE IS HEEEERE YEAAAAAH. Love how they lettered her name here omg

She's wonderful!!!! Her bait and switch intro was funny (but please don't actually corner The Girl One into a love interest) and her stunt saving Carly was so cool, I'm glad we're establishing her right. I wish she didn't look so much Like That, but at least DWJ is as willing to deform her for action as anyone else. Her buccal fat removal look makes her look like a skull, which would be cool if it were on puporse, but it's not so. I like the shade they picked for her, is more of a lilac but it looks pink with the rest of the color palette and meshes well with the setting.

This series is really good at the appel to the inner child thing, because I'm like genuinely excited to see the Autobots have the advantage for once!! But ofc, they can't really because the arc ends next issue and they're not gonna have a decisive win until that.

Tho, Optimus and Cliffjumper are carrying the Autobots in regards to being the heroes we root for. I mean, Arcee and Jazz are very cool and that has their appeal, but I do wish once things have settled and they can interact in more situations that aren't just life and death, because so far I feel like we only get a good grasp of who Optimus and Cliffjumper are as individuals, their personalities. I want to see what makes each Autobot unique.

Speaking of, still absolutely eating the Carly and CJ dynamic. She is great and when she said that what does if matter if she's at risk when her family is dead and Spike is in a coma, that reallly got to me. It's unwise, but Cliffjumper relating to her and bringing her to give her a sense of closure it's really good. I think that this kind of bringing the kid character into danger would be because Carly sneaked her way, or because Cliffjumper would disregard orders for the hell of it. But like this feeeling of "I know how she feels and I would want come in her place too" works really well.

Also, I care about Sparky now, lol. Not that at hated him before. I'm not a fan of the first page, as cool at it look, because comparing OP to the US military like the later are the good guy is mmmm... but I'm loving his rapport with Optimus. And also there's how he looks when he's told the generator will give them a decade of power. It's not like "amazing tech woaaah!" It's softer like... this isn't an affluent town, these are people who are used to struggle and they just lost their power source. Ten years of power like that is a godsend that he can hardly believe that will do the whole town a lot of good and he cares about that. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but you know.

And ooooh dear, I was already unwell over Optimus getting his Megatron's canon arm grafted, but I understimated what seein him actually shoot the canon would do to me. I need... several moments.... the fight scenes are pretty gone but this one was particulary brutal. Optimus is really fearsome. And given how he has been so carefully characterized as this bleeding heart figure, seeing him decimating his enemies so efficient is quite something. And by something I mean gap moe. We love to see it.

RIP Reflector, your camera jokes will be missed, but that sequence was amazing lmao

Love seeing Optimus hit Starscream where it hurts. But OP saying that last time Starscream was cowering from Megatron's canon brings a lot of questions about the sequence of events in the Ark (which we'll get to see in teh special it seems). And I've been wondering if Starscream had something to do with Megatron falling or dissapearing or whatever, this does make it seem more like it and well, if that's the case I wonder how the rest of the Cons will react.

Man, the Autobots really shined this time and I already forgot what I was thinking about the Decepticons!! But hey!!! Thundercracker is here!!!!!!!! My guy!!! Given that his characterization as per toy bio is the guy that's not so sure about the cause, I wonder how he'll take it when he find out what really happened to Skywarp.

Also, are the Constructicons newly made??

Anyway, good stuff.

Graceland 1967

"Those damn movies are still doing me in Cece!" Elvis grumbled as his wife looked up from her typewriter. His third rant of the day since he'd gotten off the phone with Tom, but she listened and watched him pace around until he'd eventually turn blue in the face or get hungry,

"Sugar, sit down. You'll tucker yourself out again, and not to mention the kids are still sleeping." Cecelia laughed a little. She watched her husband stop pacing in his tracks. She always knew how to calm him down. Things were still shaky from last night's call with The Colonel, although Elvis didn't want to talk much about it.

"Now take a deep breath and tell me what's wrong," Cecelia said, her hands off the keys. 

"I-I-I Oh, I wouldn't want you worrin about me." Elvis smiled as Cecelia gave him that glance. He couldn't resist her beautiful brown eyes when they could see right through him.

"Elvis Aaron Presley... What's bugging you...." she heard him take in a deep sigh as he looked up towards the ceiling, his intoxicating blue eyes keeping her mesmerized with those beautiful long lashes. 

"It's The Colonel." 

"What'd he do this time..." she sighed, laying in her husband's lap, 

"He's got good intentions with this idea, but..."

"You hate it."

"I hate it." he laughed, "You know me so well, don't you." he leaned down to kiss her nose. 

"Mmmm, let's see, touring with you from 54 to 56 and then dating you and being your wife. And sometimes co-star, and the mother of our kids, I'd hope I do." she shrugged, "But continue, I wanna know if I have to break his kneecaps.".

"So you know Singer Sewing Machines."

"Mhmm, Midge loves their machines," 

"They want me to do a Christmas Special..." she could hear the aggravation in his voice as he said it. Cecelia was trying not to laugh as he said it, but she couldn't help but think about him in an ugly Christmas Sweater. 

"Fine, fine, laugh at me." Elvis groaned,

"Honeybear, I'm not laughin at you. I'm laughin at the fact Tom thought you'd agree to that." she took another deep breath, "You know my mother even knows that's not your speed anymore."

"I'm glad someone knows that." There was a bit of hurt and loss in his voice as if he forgot who he once was, the man climbing the charts, the man women wanted and the kind men wanted to be. He needed a reminder.

"You need a comeback." she rubbed circles on his face with her hand, "And a shave." she joked as he heard her laugh. 

"You think I could make a comeback?"

"You're Elvis Presley. You can make anything! Except for food." she mumbled the last part.

"Aye, I thought you liked my charred steak," he smirked,

"It could've been better." she pulled him in for a kiss as he held her close, a small moan leaving her lips. She did miss the times she got to kiss him. Between touring and doing movies,

"Cece..."

"Hmm..."

"If I do this Comeback Special, I want you and the kids with me every step of the way." 

"Who said I didn't have NBC on Speed Dial..." her fingers in his jet black hair as she trailed down to his ascot.

"God Damnit, doll, you're my weakness," he smirked.

"And you're mine." she was straddling him now as he looked her up and down, 

"Ah, ah, easy there, Tiger, that's how we got twins."

"You started it."

"I did, and we'll finish it tonight. But for now, we have business to do."

"Mama!" rolling off Elvis, Cecelia sat next to him on the couch. The kids were up and hungry, and these two had to act as if they weren't going to jump each other's bones. Sitting at the table, Elaine and Jessie began to argue. 

"You do like her!" 

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Woah woah woah, who's liking who," Elvis asked as Cecelia snickered,

"Elaine likes this girl named Estella and-" Elaine covered his mouth as Jessie licked it. She then tackled her brother as Cecelia broke them apart. 

"CUT IT OUT!"

"Sorry, mama..." they both said, 

"Now, who's this, Estella..."

"A friend." Elaine blushed, "She's pretty." 

"Where's she from?" Elvis asked,

"She doesn't know." Jessie shrugged, "But I think she's weird." Jessie continued eating his waffles,

 "She's not weird!" Elaine growled at her brother.

"Is too!"

"Will you two stop it!" Elvis sighed, rubbing his temples as Cecelia glanced at him. "Welcome to my world." Handing him a cup of coffee as he kissed her knuckles, "So, I saw you've been writing a few scripts of your own again?"

"Mhmm, I have. Nothing too serious, you know." Cecelia responded to her husband, 

"Who knows, maybe you'll direct my Christmas special?"

"Christmas !?!" The twins shouted, 

"Can we go!" Elaine asked 

"You don't even know where we're going, little Biscuit." Elvis teased.

"Well, where are we going?" Jessie asked,

"California."

 California June 1968

Cecelia watched from the background on the NBC Set as there was the bustle of the stage crew running pieces to the multiple sets. Cecelia, however, didn't want to interfere, let alone get in the way. But things were looking hectic, especially for Elvis. It was like a circus that she knew she could tame. Cecelia just had to find the perfect moment to jump in. And say something. 

"We fucking lost Howe..." Binder groaned, "No producer, no production, we're behind on everything," Cecelia's ears perked up as she walked over. It wasn't like she was eavesdropping. She was a Godsent, after all. 

"How behind are we..." Cecelia asked, 

"Mrs. Presley, it's nothing to worry about. "

 "I've got some guys who can get us back on track," Cecelia mentioned as he stopped in his tracks,

"Well... The music hasn't been composed. We're only two weeks out from finishing pre-production. We don't have a producer, and I'm up to my ass in stress."  

Cecelia laughed as Binder looked at her confused, "If Elvis calls, tell him the production is moving fine." she smiled, straightening out her pantsuit as she looked at Binder, 

"But..."

"I'll make some calls. You keep Elvis calm." Her heels, clicking away on the soundstage floor, 

"Oh, and Binder." 

"Yes, Mrs. Presley, I-I mean Cecelia."

"Say hello to your second unit director," she smirked, twirling her sunglasses. 

Later that night, Cecelia had been prepping and planning on the phone, trying to get weeks' worth of work done in the span of an hour. She'd been burning herself on both ends of the candle, but Cecelia wanted it to be perfect for Elvis. She wrote scripts and wrote songs, but she had a mother who knew any and everybody. 

"Elaine Marie, leave Jesse alone!" Denise sighed, rubbing her temples, "She's almost as troublesome as her father."

"She's her father's twin," Cecelia laughed. Her mother could hear how tired she was already,

 "Have you been sleeping lately..." Her mother asked. She'd been at their California mansion with the twins,

"I have mama... just not as peacefully," Cecelia sighed, 

"Is something going on between you and Elvis?" Denise asked. She could hear concern in the voice of her mother. 

"No, no, we're fine. We've both been busy, with me helping direct this TV special, and he's making new music for it. We've rarely seen each other." Cecelia laughed a bit, but her laughter was sad, Cecelia thought this would bring them closer, but it felt like they were drifting apart again. 

"I see you got yourself into something." Denise sighed, 

"I did," she responded, typing away on her typewriter in her temporary office space

"Cecelia Shanel Presley!"

"We just need a producer..." 

"Get Midge to do it..."

"You're a genius!" 

"What would you do without me, child." Denise smiled.

"Probably die." she joked, hanging up, Denise heard the door open as Elvis walked in, the kids were already asleep, and yet he looked lost, 

"Looking for Cece?"

"Yeah, I am, mama..." He sighed, 

"She's still at the studio. But what can I help you with." patting a seat for him as he sat down, Elvis laid his head in her lap as she smiled, feeling motherly, "It's The Colonel, we're not seein' eye to eye again, and it's killin me." 

"Well, I'll cook you a nice warm meal, and you tell me all about it," Denise asked. She was in the kitchen, cooking dinner, and the only thing Elvis could do was worry. He hadn't seen his wife much, let alone the kids. He was up to his neck in meetings and arguments with Tom. "You know if your mother was still here, she'd have had several ungodly words for that man." Denise laughed as Elvis nodded, "I know she would've." He laughed a little. The thought of Gladys still pained him, but he knew he gained another mother, even if it was Denise. She vowed those many years ago. She'd take care of him, and she meant it. Denise was a listening ear and a comfort to him, but she still wasn't his Cecelia, 

"So, how have things been with you and Cece?"Elvis sighed, and Denise was dreading the response, 

"Well, uh..."

"Well, what..."

"We've been going through a bit of a dry spell." Elvis blushed, a bit embarrassed.

"That will happen when you have kids that little. You'll find the balance," Denise smiled as she heard the door open, 

"Sorry, I'm late!" Cecelia smiled, "Steve and..." She felt strong hands wrapped around her back as her lips met his, "You and me..." 

"MOMMY!"

"Upstairs-" Elvis mumbled as Denise chuckled, 

NBC Studios June 17th

 The studio was thick with tension as Steve Binder was trying his best to bargain with, "Listen, Parker. It's a genius idea. I mean, we get him rehearsing with his friends and-"

"That would be ridiculous. No one wants to see that!" Tom rolled his eyes, walking down the halls of the studio towards the lobby, 

"It suites Elvis. It's not exactly traditional!" Binder said,

"Singer sewing machine wants tradition."

"Singer wants the singer Elvis Presley." Cecelia gave her keys to the receptionist. Tom's skin crawled when he heard her voice, and Cecelia's eyes rolled when she saw his face.

"Ms. Valmos..."

"It's Mrs. Presley to you, Parker...." she said behind gritted teeth, "If they want traditional, they got the wrong guy," Cecelia said, shrugging her shoulders as Binder gave her the schedule for the day, "Thanks, B," Cecelia said, looking over the call sheet, she could feel that Tom was seething like Satan in Holy water.

"No... No... No..." Tom looked between the two, "You can't be here for rehearsals! Y-You'll distract my boy!"

"Actually, she has to be," Binder smirked.

"She'll be a distraction to Elvis. I tell you, she will!"

"You mean-"

"Hey, uh, Presley wants to speak to the directors." Midge poked her head out of her office as Tom almost fainted. 

"Tell him we're coming." Cecelia smiled, her white boots clicking on the studio floors along with Steve's Chelsea boots. 

"So... Who's that?"

"Binder, Michaels, Michaels, Binder, Midge will be our producer for the time being," Cecelia smiled,

"Ever produced anything, kid?"

"Music?" Midge shrugged, "A few contracts and budgets?"

"Works for me." 

Walking into the rehearsal room, Midge could instantly see the problem. The team had been falling apart even more because the dream was a compromise. She could tell with just how tense everyone looked. The dancers were confused, and there were Elvis elves in a corner. It felt like one big shit show of a hot mess.

"Hey, uh...Cil..." Midge whispered, "You've got a tough one on your hands..."

"I can handle it." 

"Can you..."

"Already had to handle a costume meeting." Cecelia sighed, taking a deep breath," We're supposed to fit him in some of them today..." 

"Well, there's our choreographer, but where's Elvis..." Midge groaned as she looked over to see Cecelia was gone. Elvis was sitting in his dressing room, his head in his hands as he tried to take a deep breath. Elvis needed to relax. He just needed to sing like the Colonel told him to. 

"Belew's looking for you for your fitting, Mr. Presley..." Elvis's head had perked up as he heard the voice. He knew it from anywhere. 

"Cece..."

"That's second director Presleyesley to you," she said as she came behind him. He looked stressed, and they hadn't even filmed anything yet. 

"You're..." he nodded, "No wonder why Colonels pissed." he laughed as Elvis held her hand, 

"Figured you could use the help," she kissed his cheek, 

"Now, these costumes..."

"I told Belew it's out of my hands on that one." she laughed,  

"Why would you do that, darlin."

"Your show your rules," she walked out of the dressing room, knowing he'd follow her, 

"What about the Singer image."

"Singer wants the Elvis image, so give 'em Elvis." she kissed him quickly. Cecelia was right. It was his show, and he could do whatever he wanted to do with it. 

"Elvis..." Tom walked in as he saw the two, "Ah yes, just the person I wanted to see..." he glared at Cecelia as he walked past her.

"If you know what's good for you, don't listen to her."

Cecelia's head had turned as she could see the fire in Elvis's eyes ignite.

"You listen here!" Cecelia held Elvis back.

"She's going to distract you with her idea-"

"Idea's that sell Parker! Or the ideas that Elvis has. It's his show, and Singer is sponsoring it," she looked at him.

"It was supposed to be a family fun Christmas special!"

"Another way to keep me at the middle of the charts." Elvis groaned,

"My boy, I'd never-"

"His last few movies flopped..." Cecelia looked at him, "Thus, his last few records were flops." she looked at Tom hard and rageful,

"What would you know about show biz."

"I don't know, but maybe the custom pink Mustang outside from Paradise Records might help. Or the fact I was touring with Elvis before your penguin-looking ass came along! OR-" Tom laughed at her in a mocking tone, making her nearly launch at him, "Yes, and remind me, who's been playing mother goose recently?" Elvis held her back in his arms, almost wanting to take a piece of him for himself. Tom walked off laughing as Cecelia was heated. They'd had bumped heads in the past, but this was worse than before. 

"Baby, look at me." Elvis held her close,

"Yes..."

"Whatever I say goes, I'm gonna show him the real Elvis."

"I was wondering when my husband would finally show up." She joked, getting on her tiptoes to ruffle his hair a little.

"Why, you little!" 

"Catch me if you can!" she teased, running out of the dressing room and towards rehearsals. Midge was proud that she could handle the chaos surrounding herself.

June 20th

"Anyone seen Presley?" Midge asked, going around the studio. 

"Which one, there's two of 'em." One of the production Assistants said, 

"The one who's show it is..." Midge rolled her eyes, "Ugh, Hollyweird people." Elvis had been recording earlier that day as they finally made it to the first production day, also known as the countdown to the ending of making history, 

"Hey, have you seen Elvis?"

"No, but I got my ticket!"

Cecelia turned as she saw "Rosa!" she hugged her tightly. 

"You know there's like two guys outside giving away tickets to anyone, right?" Both Midge and Cecelia groaned, 

"Well, make yourself comfortable and-"

"We'll just set up over here." 

"Is that Scotty..."

"Rosa... Stop, you love Jerry..." Cecelia sighed, "Rosa..."

"You go find Presley. I'll handle Rosa. Tell him it's almost time to film." 

"Tell Binder he's on his way," Cecelia responded, walking towards his dressing room. Elvis heard the knock on his door as he took a deep breath. It had been seven years since Elvis had done a show. His nerves were kicking in, and everything around him told Elvis he couldn't do it. He couldn't make it, looking in the mirror. Elvis could see the young nineteen-year-old boy shaking with excitement to be on any stage if given the chance. But he also remembered the scared twenty-three-year-old in a foreign country grieving his mama. Yet he remembered the twenty-six-year-old in the hospital holding his twins and kissing his wife, who'd been there every step of the way,

"El... you okay?" Cecelia asked, opening the door.

"Just nervous." Cecelia took his hands as she kissed each finger and ring. 

"I know you are," 

"What if I-I blow it," he sighed, "I go out there an I stutter or some crap like that."

"Then we'll roll for another take." Cecelia grinned,

"If I forget a word?"

"Then we'll roll another take." she shrugged, 

"What if I embarrass myself?"

"Honey, this is your world. We're all living in it." She giggled, "If you mess up we'll roll another take,"

"Well, you're my world, and I enjoy living in you." he kissed her cheeks, then her nose and her lips,

"El!"

"What, it didn't sound right or something?"

"You know what you said!" She laughed, "Now go get dressed, will you." 

"Alright, fine."  

When Elvis walked out, he was covered head to toe in leather. She'd, of course, seen the sketches of the suit by Bill, but to see it in person infront of her was making her feel things.

"Kinda tight, huh..."

"In all the right places..." she mumbled,

chapter 1

We start our story in an apartment where our characters were enjoying the last bit of sun... or at least whiskers was, the yellow cat was lounging under the living room window lying on a bean bag the others had gotten her just for the reason that she tended to lay in the sun whether there was a couch or not.

The others were also in the living room. Denali sitting on the couch reading a book, the book's name was 'The night they flew' Denali really liked cliché romance novels the husky's tail wagged as she reached a scene where the main character was promising to never hurt his love.

Gear was on the floor reading a transcript of a comic the comics name was 'The warriors: Armageddon' it was in a series of comics that all sorts of kids enjoyed, gear was lucky this one he was reading wasn't even released yet. (he had it as he was the owner of the studio that had made the comic) The border collie chuckled as he read the comic. he was reading it not for fun but to make sure that the book would meet up to standards other books had, but gear didn't want to admit that he was reading for work.

Finishing the last page he yawned "gosh we sure did have a fun day" Denali looked down from her book and smiled saying "awww your exhausted huh? Well, you did have a big day, we went on a walk, played fetch and even had a picnic" whiskers stretched and arched her back, giving a gentle yawn. "Yes it's been a lovely day" seeing the summer sun had set she added "now I think it's time for a well deserved rest, don't you think"

Gear getting up off the floor sat next to Denali "mmmm sound good" he said as he snuggled up against the husky and added "thank you for letting me be in little space today... even if it meant you had to change my stinky diapers" Denali laughed stoking his fur and replied "pup please me and whiskers don't mind that stuff it's what we signed up to when we promised to always take care of you. Whiskers examining her paw spoke up "we'll in that case Denali next diaper change is yours seeing as you don't mind"

Denali replied by giving the cat a glare that said in its own way " you're going to f***ing regret that, you wait you'll see" "but I agree with Denali were here for you pup" said whiskers ignoring the husky's stare

"thanks guys" gear said feeling safe with his carers. "Now I think it's time for bed baby" Denali said picking up gear and carrying him to bed. Whiskers watched as they departed biting her nails she thinks to herself "he'll be alright.. he will won't he?" She said as she let her hand drift to her belly.

Personal Opinions of GMMTV PART2 SERIES

To nobodys request I am gonna do a opinions on the gmmtv trailers, let it be stated that I barely watch anything lately so we'll see how many I will actually watch🤣

so lets start, I will go in order of how they came out on the lineup:

Ossans Love Thailand: I do not like slapstick it isn't my thing but strangely enough I liked this trailer it made me laugh a lot and seeing EM in a show where they can be silly and ceazy is so fun plus the chemistry with the Boss was working, I haven't watched the japanese but I might go back and watch that cuz I wanna ne up on top of knowing the plot

Leap Year: It looks cool and has Gun, feels a little more survival show wich isn't really my thing but the concept is cool, I am always ready to try out more put there plots with supernatural elements and the acting seemed solid for both Dew and Pond

The Heart Killers: hem do I even need to say anything? BE GAY DO CRIME SHAKESPERE WITH FK AND JOJO DIRECTING I think this suffices moving on! jokes aside I am so exited for an action romcom with betrayal and tattoos and my babies looked AMAZING

Friendshit Forever: it's Mook and Pat acting their asses off and almost killing eachother while looking sapphic doing that, so yes please, New and Boom are ok man ruinibg things as always lol/j but honestly I would watch this for the girls and the drama plus Pat is literally a goddes I love that woman

Perfect 10 Liners: sigh another gay engeneers cute boy ensble with 2 couples I am not particualry a fan of om screen(FB PC) and one I have no feelings for(JM) plus the plot looks so uninspired and boring and if it is true it's gonna be 10 eps per couple you bet your ass you wont see me sit thtough this thing! We Are is enough and at least there I like the pairs

Us: FUCK YES BABY GIMME THE GL, this looked so artsy and indie it didn't even give off thai show vibes with the minimalist approach and cinematography, the story is gonna be angsty as fuck but I live for it and Girl falling for the guys sister? Man good drama, and it has Sing and Emi looking mighty fine plus Bonnie wich is so pretty, you will be seeing me seated for this one

Hide & Sis: Again it has women, and WHAT WOMEN GEEZ! Jan, Lookjun and Piploy???? god I am melting they are everything, it is very PS I Hate You and thank god Snap went back to that after Jungle, stick to the messy murder plots, it honestly might not be everybody shit but it's mine and I will take it, tho the revenge porn is trash and fuck you Chimons character, and Lookjun and Pepper actually playing a sort of couole on screen! and oh Gawin as a cop(probably corrupted) brings back memories

Thame-Po: another one that doesn't have gmmtv vibes and I like it when they try to branch out, the idol subplot isn't my thing tho even if I know LYKN are good, EstWilliam mmmm they look pretty but didn't really vibe with the acting, they do have good chemistry tho, for this one I might have to wait for the actual trailer

Break Up Service: NO moving on... ok fine this is ridiculous and does not give me anything even if there is Off in a suit, the comedy wasn't even good next

Revamp: I know this is Boons crown jewel and it looks good but vampire shows are hit or miss and I am not that into them but I think I will watch for the cast and cuz I am attached to BP, and Kay in a villain role is cheffs kiss

Sweet Tooth, Good Doctor: SIGHHHH Oh Mark what have they done to you? they were able to make Mark Pakin look plain MARK! UNACCEPTABLE! plus dentists? I have visceral reactions to just thw sounds of the trailer, Ohms acting still isn't to my liking and it is a Jittirain novel so skeptical isn't even cutting it, the trailer even if less slapstick as OL it cringed me, the balance of humour and romance is off, I think I will watch but just for Mark, Jimmy and View

The Dark Dice: meh felt like a bootleg gifted in a bad way idk I like Gem and Prim enough but this didn't give me anything much, might have to wait for final trailer here too

The Ex Morning: I like the concept don't care at all about anchor man plot, still not a big fan of Krists acting, but I like Singto and the ex part was interesting enough, we will see, might be a little too meta and not in a good way

Scarlet Heart: My Tu come back and ot is a Harem Reverse? WHY??? I hate harem shows always had, I don't even know the og show, I do like most of the cast but still this was just a teaser so I might need to check the og show and then the full trailer to judge, for now I am not into it and I am sorry cuz MY TU!

Ok thats it, overall I liked this lineup better than part 1(even if it's just cuz of FK be in an actual show and not just to announce School Rangers) for now I am in for most of the shows we shall see once they start airing but I stay optimistic that I will watch most

Medals don't matter

Emails to mum

plz

"Medals don't matter": when Johnny Shepard-Itō was 7 years old he had a fever, so without thinking twice his father called in sick to the ceremony where he was supposed to get a medal of recognition or something (haven't weed out all the details) and stayed home to take care of his son. Hannah (his then wife and Johnny's mother) is much more career and adept with internal politicking, and was scolding Hiroshi for skipping it. Hiroshi brushed it off, knowing what mattered more to him. Later on Johnny injures himself saving a stray cat right before one of his martial arts (BJJ) tournaments and his dad uses it as a teachable moment that medals don't matter, doing the right thing even when it's hard does matter. Something to that effect. It's still an ongoing WIP/backstory piece that I might use as a flashback or something.

"So you missed it? Last night's ceremony?" Mom sounded incredulous. His dad grunted in the affirmative. Johnny burrowed a little more into the thin cotton quilt draped over his lap, couch cushions swallowing him more. "Hiroshi, you can't just skip medal ceremonies! My god! It's like you're allergic to recognition. What did you even say to get out of it?"

"Didn't say anything. Used a personal day."

"Used a– *Hiroshi*." Muffled chatter came over the connection on his Mom's side followed by a sigh. "I've got to run, but we'll pick this up next time I'm on leave."

"Medals don't matter, Hannah." Dad's quiet grumble of a voice grew a little closer and he leaned over the back of the couch, phone screen popping down in front of his face displaying Mom's face. "Say goodbye to Johnny at least."

"Goodbye, Love." She smiled widely, copper hair gleaming in that tight bun she always wore with her uniform.

Johnny knuckled his eyes and smiled back. "Jya ne, Kaa-chan."

Her smile fell a little. "Johnny, in English, please. You know I don't speak Japanese."

"Sorry Mom, bye mom. I miss you, when are you coming home?"

Her lips rolled into a tight line, and her eyes glanced off screen at another murmur of noise. "Love, I'll be back before you know it. And with some cool surprises I picked up for you. You just need to be patient a little longer. Focus on school and your next tournament. Get the best grades and win that trophy while I'm gone and I'll be so excited to come home and celebrate!"

Dad cleared his throat loudly, making him jump and then laugh before knuckling his eyes again.

"Right, gotta run. Others are waiting for the comm. Love you! See you soon!"

The screen blacked out and Dad tucked the phone back in his pocket with a gusty sigh. A big hand suddenly cupped his forehead with a tsk of his tongue. Dad spoke in Japanese, even though Mom had just scolded him for speaking it.

"Still hot. Almost a full day now. Headache?"

"Better."

"Good. Hungry?"

"No…"

"Oh? That so? Not even for… fried udon?"

"I didn't say that!" Johnny grinned brightly and tipped his head back to look up at him.

"Mmmm… maybe you'd rather have caterpillar pie."

"Nooo!"

Dad flashed his white teeth in a fake snarl and hoisted him up, blanket and all. He giggled as he found himself swung up over his shoulder and carried into the kitchen where all the ingredients were already waiting beside the skillet.

"Or maybe worms instead?"

"No, noodles!"

"Worms are kind of like noodles."

"Daaaaad!"

Dad chuckled, raspy in his ear and warm in his belly.

"Emails to Mom" is 24 year old Johnny email correspondence WIP for Rivaling You's prologue, which takes place during his ICT post Torfan. In this particular WIP he's detailing a series of ridiculous dreams he's had. One involves not drinking and driving a whale. Heh, dream logic be crazy.

My Boys (Chapter 46)

Series List

Y/n's pov

"Steve?" I whisper out after a long silence. We'd been trying to sleep for over an hour but I was still struggling to get to sleep. "Mmmm?" Steve moans as he snuggles closer to me. I smile at him and run a hand through his hair. "I think I should tell the kids about me," I whisper to him. Steve jumps out of my lap and looks concerned and worried at me. "Are you sure? Why do you want to tell them now?" He questions in curiosity. I look down at my hands, locking my fingers together and take a deep breath. "Remember that day you came into Scoops and Jason was harassing Robin and I?" I ask him, not looking up at him at all. "Yeah, what about it?" Steve questions, moving one of his hands to my cheek. "Well, he had a photo of me. Of me kissing Robin," I tell him, looking back up at him to see his reaction. His face hardens and he balls his other hand into a fist. "I'm gonna kill him," Steve whispers before I can even get to the worst part. I place a hand on one of his and continue, "He said he was gonna spread it around the school. Tell everyone that I was a lesbian." Steve gets angrier and asks, "Is he doing any of this to Robin? Like is she in danger of this as well," I shake my head and softly smile at him caring about my best friend as much as I do. "No one would be able to recognize her from the photo. Jason didn't know it was her either," I explain, running my free hand through Steve's hair. He tries to smile at the action but I could tell he was still very angry. "Do you want me to fight Jason to get him not to do it?" He asks.

I laugh and shake my head. "Nah baby, it's ok. I don't really mind him telling people. I just need to make sure that the kids all hear it from me and not from a random person that is trying to get a rise out of them." I explain to him. Steve nods in understanding and wraps his arms around my middle. He pulls me closer to him and hides his face in my stomach. "I'm sorry," I hear and feel Steve whisper into my stomach. I look down confused at him and ask, "Why are you sorry? You couldn't have done anything to stop this from happening." Steve shrugs and tightens his arms around me. "But because of a dickhead, you have to come out earlier than you are ready for," Steve reasons. I laugh a little at him and tell him, "I think I've been ready to tell them all for a really long time. This way just the push I needed to finally tell them." Steve looks up at me and smiles. "You are amazing, you know that?" He looks up at me in awe and I laugh a little bit at him. I boop his nose and shake my head. "Anyway, you ok if we have them all over here in a few days so I can tell them?" I ask him, worried that he wouldn't be ok with all of this happening here for some reason. "Of course, in the morning we'll call all the rugrats and tell them to be here on Saturday," Steve tells me. I smile wider at him and give him a big kiss on the lips. Steve smiles into the kiss and pulls me down to deepen the kiss further.

A few days later (Saturday)

"God, I don't know if I'm ready for this," I say while pacing a hole in Steve's living room floor. Robin and Steve were sitting quietly watching me do this. "It's gonna be ok. Do you really think any of them will have a problem with you liking girls?" Robin asks, moving off of the couch and getting in my pacing path. She grabs onto my arms and forces me to look at her. "I know that, but like, what if they aren't cool with all of it? They could just get more awkward about the whole thing?" I ramble, really coming up with anything to stop this from happening. Something that I probably learnt from Robin. Robin looks at me in playful disbelief and shakes her head. Steve stands up from the couch but just as he goes to say more to help, the doorbell goes off.

"Well, that will be them now," Steve announces and walks out of the room. I begin to panic again and try to get out of Robin's arms so I can pace again. "Hey," Robin whispers, placing a hand on my cheek and moving my head to make me look at her. "Everything will be ok, and if it's not, Steve and I will both still be here for you," Robin whispers to me. I nod at her and pull her into a big hug, not really needing to say anything more about the whole thing starts.

As we pull away from our hug, my group of little kids almost run into the room and crash onto the couch, Nancy following in after them and sitting in a chair. Robin laughs at them and joins in on all the pushing and jumping on the couch. Steve walks in slowly behind them all and stands next to me, placing a hand on my lower back. "You ok?" Steve asks, waiting for me to get this all started. I nod and look over at everyone mucking around on the couches. "All right!" I yell and give a big clap to silence the whole room. Everyone stops and looks shocked at me. I quickly look at everyone in the room and notice that Max isn't in the chaos that is on the couch. "What are we doing here N/n?" Dustin questions after a while of silence. I feel my nerves get worse but destress a little when I feel Steve place his hand lightly on my back again.

"I asked you all over to Steve's because I need to tell you all something important before you all go to school," I start, not really knowing how I'm going to start all of this. Erica sits forward a little bit and asks, "Are you and Steve finally together?" My eyes widen at the statement and everyone burst out in congratulations instead of waiting for an answer. I feel Steve freeze next to me and Robin freeze as well. God dam these kids and their short attention spans. "Ok, Ok. Thanks for that Erica, but that isn't why I've got you all here." I say, getting everyone's attention on me again. "Why are we all here then?" Max grumbles, already seeming to be bored with the conversation. I look over at her worried and think about trying to go over to hers at some point to work out what is going on with her at the moment. "What I'm gonna tell you is a lot more important than a relationship," I tell her, looking back and further at the whole group. Dustin looks at me worried and says, "Say it already Y/n. You're starting to make me worry over here."

I take a deep breath and start to tell the kids. "You are all going to high school this year. Over the summer, Jason learnt some personal information about me and is gonna be spreading this information all around the school." They all look even more confused and so I continue, "I want to get in front of him and tell you all myself. I like girls and guys." After I say the last words I watch as everyone in the room let out a big breath. "What the hell L/n!? We thought this was gonna be bad news!" Mike snaps at me. Everyone else nods and agrees with Mike, but they are a lot less angry. I look even more confused at them all and say, "What the hell do you mean? That is serious," I tell him. Dustin breaks out laughing and says, "We know you like both Y/n. Ever since we've been little you've been dropping hints that some girls are hot and not in the friends kind of way. It doesn't really surprise us at this point."

I laugh a little at him and walk over to the couch. "Well, if you're all ok with me being Bi, then you won't mind me doing this," I say before pulling Dustin into a big hug and giving him lots of kisses. He breaks out laughing and tries to push me off of him. "Help! Help Me!" Dustin starts to yell at all of his friends. I hear everyone laughing at us and then all of the kids jump on me and try to get me off of him. I laugh with everyone and we all end up on the floor. We all lay there catching our breath when Robin, Nancy and Steve pop into my field of vision. "You ok down there?" Nancy asks as all, a small smile spreading over her face. I laugh and nod my head, looking over to where I last saw Max but find that she isn't there anymore. I look around at the kids on the floor but she isn't among the mass of limbs laying around either.

I sit up and take a deep breath, preparing myself for the next part. "There is something else I need to ask of you all. More so you all," I say, pointing to the group of kids laying on the floor. They all look over at me, a little bit concerned again so I quickly say, "I need you all to stay the hell away from me at school. You don't know me there. You've never meant me. You stay the hell away from me." I warn them all a little bit too sternly. I look at everyone but they all burst out into a fight with me. I hear comments of, 'What the hell?' 'Why would we do that?' 'Why can't we know you?' 'We are not doing that!' I shake my head at them all and look over at the three other older kids in the room. All three of them look concerned at me, Nancy more angry than concerned. I shake my head and yell, "All right, that's enough!" 

Everyone snaps their head at me but doesn't say a word. "Ok, you kids have already had enough trouble when it comes to school. I have someone who is an outsider but he's your kind of outsider. If you are with me when this news gets around the school, I don't know what people will do to you. You need to do this for me so I know that you are all safe," I explain to them all, hoping that they all understand. Dustin shuffles closer to me and says, "But, you're the coolest person we know. Why can't we just stay with you?" I softly smile at him and place a hand on his cheek. "It's ok Dusty. It may not be the whole year, just until everything dies down, then you can talk to me. But I need you all to do this for now. Ok?" I ask them all, receiving sad nods all around.

I sigh and say, "How about this, if you all want, you can spend the night here with Steve and me tonight and tomorrow before I go to work, I'll introduce you to this person so you feel a little more comfortable when you see him at school?" I ask them all. Everyone brightens and nods their heads. "Hey! I never agreed to that!" Steve says. I laugh and look up at him with my best puppy dog eyes. "Please Stevie? It's the last time the kids will be able to hang out with me until school starts up again," I beg him, the kids all saying please and giving him puppy dog eyes as well. Steve sighs in defeat and nods. "Fine, but you all need to clean up before you leave tomorrow," Steve tells us. We all cheer and have an evening full of fun and some Dnd adventure.

'This band is falling apart' 💀 I love this trio sm already...I'm so making fanart- 'SHE'S JUST GEM-' iconic ✌💀 also watching Gem's POV after seeing Skizz's, I get why it looked so creepy now...rip Skizz o7 for having to do that 'Scott and the Gems' THEIR RIVAL BAND OH NO /lhj love their houses <3 Scott's 'I told you!' carries so much sass and I love that tbh. Ohhh this series is gonna be great I can already tell. 'I got a little worried about how clingy everyone was' awwweh and she built a little fishing pond! I just love how aesthetic her bases always are even if they're just simple little bases :3"

9. Tango: "NOT TANGO GETTING THE EASIEST TASK OF ALL TIME- 💀 Tangocleodayonealliancetangocleodayonealliancetangocleodayoneall- 'if you hear a high pitched squeal, that's me and it's time to flee' this man is a whole mood cuz same- ohh no his /gift broke ): I keep getting distracted, but like- can you blame me? These people are great at making content! Absolutely amazing! Tango trying to find Scar to talk to him lol 💀 SCAR JUST EXPLAINING AHSOKA(? Idk how to spell it...) TO TANGO IS THE BEST LMAO also so glad Tango included a good part of the conversation since Scar didn't /lh was excited to see how the conversation went. This has just made me more curious as to what Big B is up to...to keep with the Star Wars theme of the previous conversation, the gaslight is strong with this one! Tango teaching Jimmy about the goodies is great. 'Tango, I'm gonna force you to adopt me pretty soon' well that's one way to ask about an alliance lol- PEARL'S DOG'S NAME BEING MAILBOX LMFAO- I CAN'TTT 😭💀 Etho just lying for funsies lol love that for him...Tango's 'oh it's you...' to Impulse 💀 Cleo saying 'TANGO!' and then Tango rushing to explain and stumbling over his words I- lol. Are Tango and Skizz always like this hanging out together? Lol 💀 /lh ohhhh no the fighting- o7 Tango Cleo team up, died before it started. 'Who could we team up with?' I'm with the people in Skizz's comments who said they should convince Scar and Jimmy to team or ally with them. I think that'd be fun! :3 Bdubs' innocent 'am I?' 💀 Skizz's confusion at who Willy is BC he can't play DO2 lol-"

10. Scott: "OK, not to throw shade, but Scott being ONE OF the only ones so far to not have to ask if the secrets were supposed to stay secret (or share it, like somebody /lh cough cough) is amazing. I'm excited already! PEARL JUMPSCARING SCOTT LMAOOO poor Scott- 'y'all were obsessed with flower husbands, it's actually just me & Pearl' 💀 nah cuz I choked on my chicken tender lmaoo- Scott talking about gift items while little shinies spin on the screen. Perfect. SCOTTTTT LMAOOO 'everyone needs a hobby'. I'm not gonna live through this ep, but in a different way from Martyn's. Watching Martyn's, I almost died of an anxiety induced heart attack (/lhhj). Meanwhile watching Scott's, I'm gonna die choking on my food from laughter! 'CAN A MAN TALK TO A MAN?' 💀 'JIMMY!! How do you survive sometimes?!' paired with his laughter lol- 'oh I forgot there was no regeneration' 'ohh my-' 'Every. Single. Time.' he's not wrong, but also o7 lol Scott bringing doors underwater tho. Sometimes, I think he might be the only responsible one here /lh SCOTT QUOTING MEAN GIRLS- 😭😂 'you're doing amazing, sweetie!' Lol- yup, def my favorite alliance so far, the second POV confirms it. 'That sounds like an 80s rock band' indeed it does, Scott. 'Very different answers' 💀 yeah...Martyn's not having too hot of a time...o7 'THIS BAND IS FALLING APART' 💀 'they're intimidated' after watching 9 other POVs, can confirm. 'You know, I was going to before you told me not to, so thanks' I- 💀 this ep is fr a hard mode try not to laugh challenge- it's amazing! Scott zooming in on Jimmy and waving at him lol 'Scott and the Gems' 💀 which Scott though? Cuz both of their content is like finding a precious jewel so could be either- (srsly tho love the content from these three <3) 'I JUST GOT GOATED!' but in which way, Impulse? /lhhj 'where have you heard that before?!' 'Don't think about it-' ohh poor sweet Gem...also. IMPULSE! 'I'm gonna use the diving board' good idea, it saves time. Omg he got so many goodies- noice. Gem's relieved sigh of 'thank you-' 💀 'Gem I got us a sheep, we have one' and a very cute sheep at that :3 well...I WOULD be sad ep 1 is over, but I still have the second session POVs to watch after I catch up. BUT WOOO HYPE! LET'S GOOOOOO! Oop hold on, gotta vibe to his outro music."

11. Bdubs: "O h ... Oh my God...it's over an hour, I can't sit still that long- I will try- 'you stole my horse last time, Bdubs, I don't forget' meanwhile, me, who has no context for, like, half the life series cuz I never end up finishing: Bdubs' indignant gasp and 'how dare you' 💀 also I think Joel's habit of horse killing is rubbing off on Lizzie lol- 'how did you get a saddle this early on?' Bdubs: 👀 [you feel the weight of your sins crawling on your back] lol- 'I didn't kill the cows, it's worse-' o7 'WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH BDUBS??' 💀 lmaoo- So completely normal about c!Ethubs- 'GEM ACCOSTED ME!' 'sounds about right-' 💀 I'm gonna love the sibling vibes coming from those two this series lol- Bdubs and his chainmail lol! Common Canadian David Attenborough W /lhhj ohh no Bdubs' mic didn't just cut out, his prox mod malfunctioned! Noooo rip- Bdubs' 'STOPP!' in response to Martyn having 16 hearts was me all through his POV when he took risks or damage. 'It could be like the Alps, but bad' 💀 Mumbo lmaoo- 'we could be called the Axis!' OK, now that ik what that means after a kind tumblr user explained to me- uhmmm...yeah let's just say it's good Cleo was there- 'YES I KNOW IT'S UPSIDE DOWN!' 💀😂 MAILBOX- 😭💀 Bdubs is so great at naming things lol /lh 'oh, Etho? He's uhhhhhh-' so normal- OK so I sat still for 39 minutes then I got distracted, back to it. 'Alright, hopping off' 💀 'Bdubs, I'll give you one too. I know you love these.' SO. NORMAL. I SWEAR- BDUBS HOW DID YOU GET IN THE TREES?! His immediate yes to iron horse armor lol! Martyn and Bdubs: -talking about horse armor- Scar: Jimmy, I'll burn your house down- it's even better after multiple times lmao 💀 'oh I am? OK' pfttttt- DO2 references go brrrrr 'OK bye' 💀 perfect ending lol-"

12. Pearl: "pftttt someone in the comments comparing Pearl's base to a hobbit hole- okokok I'm watching the video now- Pearl jumpscaring Scott 💀 'DON'T KILL THOSE COWS!' lol oouh nice Etho and Pearl gift heart exchange 'it's not that you can't speak horse, they can't speak you' 'WHO KEEPS LEAVING FLOATING TREES?!' poor cleaning lady, having to clean even outside of Hermitcraft o7 'did I hear a Lizzie?' 'Yeah, where are you?' lol :O protection pact? Alliance? Lizzie Pearl alliance? Funsies! 'Don't worry, I'll save you' 🥺 literally goals- NOT PEARL AND JOEL FIGHTING FOR THE GIFTED HEART- 💀 literally tho why do Jimmy and Pearl give such sibling vibes lol- 'that's so spooky' yes, yes it is. Also the fact that, as far as I can remember, only Pearl and Jimmy mentioned something about the secret keeper like that (Pearl said it's spooky, Jimmy said the symbol looked familiar) 'n'awwwwwww! I just witnessed a moment :3' yes you did, Pearl. And it was very wholesome. 'Oh, but you're absolutely wonderful, Mumbo!' 💀 that's really nice of her to say, but like, the timing lmao- DOGGIE! Doggie <3 'I see a camel's butt over there' c a m e l 'no high-fiving!' Lol! ARCHIMEDES AWWWWWEH 🥺 THAT'S THE PERFECT NAME! 'Did you kill Alfred?' Oop- Scar's in troubleeeeeeee~ /lh :O Joel alliance! Noice. 'Cuz it's got a cherry wood door! It's all you need!' Lol I meannnn true, what better way to spice up a dirt hut than with a pretty door :3 noooo I don't want it to end D: ...oh wait I still have all the session 2s to watch- ...OK fine it can end lol- gosh that was a great episode! Also ty Pearl for reminding me to bug my mom (/lh) about preordering a hoodie :3"

Also WOO ONLY 5 MORE POVs THEN I CAN MOVE ON TO SESSION 2!

Which Secret Life POVs I've Watched So Far (will be updated and edited as I finish)

OK so I may or may not have gotten distracted again- oops- but basically I'm putting here which POVs I've already watched in full and what my first thought about each one was.

-WARNING: wall of texts and ramblings from an mcyt obsessed audhd under the cut...and also spoilers. Don't click unless you're ready for simultaneously spoilers and an ungodly amount of text lol-

Grian: "God this series is so hype I can't wait to see what all happens and- OMG GEM IS HERE! :D GEM IS GREAT! I can't wait to see her kick Etho's ass at PvP again /lh ...waiminute...is that logo on the statue...is that the Watcher logo??? Huh??? Wait...and why does it have the same mossiness of the Entity and Grian's s9 base? Suspicious...OMG the chaotic Best Friend energy with Mumbo and Grian- tbh would be me and my best friend on any given day. Amazing. Their laughter is so infectious too lmao- Oough merch! Pretty :3 Wait it's over already? Aweeeeh ): can't wait for the next episode tho!"

Mumbo: "Wait he switched sides of the circle when Martyn punched Jimmy lmaoooo just like 'these people are crazy, save me, Grian-' 💀 The best friend energy omg still amazing I love their dynamic so much! Ooh a sideways house that *IS* an interesting idea! WHY DOES JIMMY KEEP BREAKING THE CRAFTING TABLES LMAO Hmmmmm Impulse ik cherry blossom is great, but that salesman voice is indeed very sus. I'm with Mumbo on this one."

Skizz: "Idk I watched it when I was very tired last night and all I remember is 'Awwweh a frog! Take care of him...WH- TANGO!!!' and also him apologizing to Gem which was very nice. Oh yeah and love island <3"

Jimmy: "Alright, Timmy, you've got this. Just don't die and- OMG MARTYN NOOOO LMAOO- Aweeeh it's like when you have a really young sibling or you're, like, a parent or something and you kiss the child's scraped knee to make it feel better- 🥺 wholesome. THANK YOU! I thought I was alone in recognizing that symbol, thank you for acknowledging it. JIMMY LOOK OUT OMG YOU'RE GONNA GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK! OK but the task. This man is an absolute menace lol. Aweh that's very nice of Scar to compliment Jimmy's outfit! SCOTT LMFAOOOO YOU'RE SO RIGHT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME 💀 Jimmy building in the Mesa? Tumble Town 2 electric boogaloo?? 'Hmmmm if Scar's building a shack, we're gonna have to have a shack-off, mine's better.' NO JIMMY DON'T STEAL THE CAMEL! D: pftttt Scar would- remember the Relation-ship? And the Ranch? Arson boy lol. THE VALLEY GIRL ACCENT I CAN'T- 😭"

Scar: "OK, Scar, you can do the task, I believe in you. I've seen 4 other POVs which prove that you failed, but I still believe in you. OMG THAT'S WHY HE COMPLIMENTED JIMMY'S OUTFIT LMAOOO I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION- So true, Scott. So true. But you can't stop them, they're still gonna end up neighbors. I know, I already watched Jimmy's POV. SCAR NOOOO YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL THEM- The way he jumped in the water- 💀 hc that c!Scar shook out his long-ish messy brown hair like a dog after that. Cuz he would. 'I'll make an exception for you. The first and ONLY exception.' if someone doesn't use this as, like, a fanfic title or something I swear- literally perfect material for a c!Scarian fic title. AWEEEEEEH HE CALLED GRIAN THE LIGHT OF HIS LIFE- I CAN'T BHATGLFYSJBJSRSKBLBK 🥺 Scar just like 'y'all crazy. Bye.' AWEEEEH GRIAN AND SCAR'S CAMEL RIDE! DESERTDUODESERTDUODESERTDUODESERTDUO! The way they stare at the hole Big B dug like *insert surprised Pikachu here* awwwwweh the way he let Grian have the cactus monopoly 🥺 you will never not convince me that bullying is their love language. c!desertduo bullies each other affectionately...I'm so normal about c!desertduo I promise- HE TALKED ABOUT ASOKA FOR 30 MINUTES OFC HE DID- 💀😭 I was wondering why he didn't include it lmao- NOT SCAR TREATING THE CAMEL LIKE A DISNEY RIDE LOL learning about the task goodies with Tango, Jimmy, and Scar 101 'IS IT A ROCKET' LMAOOOOO- HE'S SUFFOCATING AGAIN- SCAR BE CAREFULLLLL!!! Ik it's not in the comments, but, I GOT TO THIS POINT AND I'M ENJOYING IT, SCAR! Love this series sm and I'm only 5 POVs in lol. 'It's looking kinda like a shack' 'fancy house and exotic materials' indeed, Etho. Also yes, Scar, part of what gave it away is that ur favorite color is orange lol /lh the fact that Jimmy is the only one I've seen to call him 'Obi' when he says 'Hello There'- amazing. 'Nonono it's not a shack, look at that entrance!' But, Scar, you just said- ...OK- 'this is my shack' OK, Scar I'm confused. Is it or isn't it a shack? Ofc he cut out the arson threats and allegations smh /lh 'until next time, we'll see you later, and don't forget to subscribe because you may just become. SCARRRRED FOR LIFE!' ...yes I've memorized his outro-"

Martyn: "Wait OK before we start- are we sure that punching Jimmy didn't just, like, transfer the canary's curse? /lh like it could also be that he won last series and now he's the 'wet cat' of the first episode like I saw in another post, but like, what if?? I guess we'll see, huh? The awkward 'goodbye' and then walking the same way lmaooo 💀 Lizzie and Gem: 'WE HAVE TO GET TO THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS!' Martyn: 'uhhhhh anyways so-' what am I gonna get? Well uhhh probably one of the life hoodies, but I'll probably have to convince my mom to get it as a Christmas gift cuz I already spent a lot in the last month cuz I have no self control- but yeah probably the balloon hearts hoodie or the drippy hearts one. Love those. 'Ofc no wearing helmets' Scar, who has a helmet: 'Hi, Martyn!' 'oh mY GOd you scared me-' Payback for the jumpscare to Grian last series /lh /hj 'friends?' 'friends?' 'friends?' 'Helloooooo!' 'Martyn!' Idk why but that interaction made me exhale like- just imagine shouting through the walls in a cave to your friends irl. Omg now I'm imagining it with the reverb- 'you couldn't spare a heart, could you?' gives off the vibes of 'please sir, could I have some more?' Oliver Twist who? /lhj Bdubs and his chainmail lol 'THERE'S A SPAWNER?!' yeah...he's definitely having a rough first session- o7 'what is happening out there-?' I'd like to know too, Martyn, unfortunately I haven't watched their POVs yet. Also Etho saying 'BDUBS RUN! HIDE!' I- I'm normal about c!Ethubs I promise- 'YOU GOT HORSE ARMOR?!' ofc the local horsegirl /lhhj would ask about that lol- NOT ETHO TURNING INTO CANADIAN DAVID ATTENBOROUGH AND NARRATING HIS, MARTYN'S, AND BDUBS' ADVENTURES THROUGH THE CAVE- I- 💀 'this could go viral' true, Bdubs lol. BDUBS' MIC CUTTING OUT I'M CRYING- Gem's reaction of 'a what?!' and Scott's response of 'we just don't have a healer' is just perfect lol. Love that. WE'RE PLAYING THE MARTYN GETS NERFED MOD! TODAY WE CODED IT SO ALL THE MOBS ATTACK MARTYN AND ONLY MARTYN! that's the vibes Scott's comment gave me lol- 12 HEARTS?!? MARTYN!! OMG BE MORE CAREFUL!!! This Martyn nerf hitting hard- 'this could be really bad if I get poisoned-' YES IT COULD, MARTYN, YOU'RE ALREADY AT 12 HEARTS- IT'S LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO BE THE FIRST TO YELLOW- /lh bro Martyn being risky is making my anxiety go 📈📈📈📈📈 BE MORE CAREFUL, MARTYN, PLS- I BEG OF U- MARTYN GOING TO THE NETHER- 📈📈📈 MARTYN THERE ARE GHASTS- PLEASE- I- AAAAAAAAAAAAA! MARTYNNNN! OMG! IS HE ALWAYS THIS RISKY, USUAL MARTYN VIEWERS?! CUZ IF SO IDT I'M GONNA SURVIVE BINGING ALL THE LIFE SERIES- 'ughhh I swear, dude, I swear, I'm gonna cry!!!' I AM TOO, PLEASE STOP GETTING INTO DANGER, MARTYN- Martyn saying damnit is me the whole time he's out risking his hearts. My heart can't take this kind of pressure, Martyn please stop being so riskyyyy- 😭 nINE HEARTS- MARTYN!!!! Istg I'm not surviving this episode- my heart is just- 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈 his pICKAXE BROKE?! OH YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! 'OH MY GOD, THE SUN!' I'M HAPPY TOO, HOPEFULLY HE DOESN'T LOSE TOO MANY MORE HEARTS. 'I've been to the nether and everything!' Yeah, imma be honest, I don't get that one. Like, didn't you write a song lITERALLY CALLED 'Screw The Nether' with friends????! /lh Lizzie's 'oh wow' 💀 fIVE AND A HALF HEARTS!! MARTYNNNN!!! OMG! 📈📈📈 NOT THE DROWNED- 😭 LEAVE HIM ALONE, BRUH, HE JUST TRYNA SURVIVE- Martyn panicking- same, bestie- Lizzie just like 'oh you stole my bed? Didn't notice' 💀 #1 way to tempt a horsegirl: offer something to protect his horse /lhj Cleo's laugh lol- infectious. MARTYN ZOOMING IN AND JIMMY JUST BRINGING BACK SCAR'S CAMEL IN THE BACKGROUND I CAN'T-"

OK I'm posting this and I'll rb for the other POVs, but Cleo's next.

So let's see, next rb is probably gonna be Cleo, Gem, Tango, Scott, Bdubs, and Pearl.

Third rb is probably gonna be Etho, Joel, Lizzie, Impulse, and BigB.

3 maybe 4 rb max.

The Three Demons and MC Have Arrived in London

Author’s Note: “Lucifer” = “Satan (Lucifer)", "Satan” = “Lucifer (Satan)”

"Mmmm!" Mammon moans happily. "That's good...real good! Man, the human world totally has the best dark beers!"

"Remind me again: when did we agree that stopping at a bar was a good idea?" I ask. "I thought we were supposed to meet the witch. Besides, Mammon seems a bit young to be drinking alcohol."

"Now listen!" Mammon slurs those two simple words. "How old do ya think I am, anyway?"

"Do you honestly want me to answer that question?"

"Don't make assumptions based on how I look! I'm way over 5000, y'know. Way over!"

"5000 months old, perhaps," I mutter.

"Exactly how long do you two plan to hang around here goofing off?" Satan asks impatiently, putting an end to our conversation. "Come on, time to get moving."

"What?!" Mammon shouts. "But I've still got a lotta drinkin' to do!" I pat his hand.

"Maybe later, big guy," I tell him.

"Or he can do all his drinking now, and we'll just leave him with the bill," Lucifer replies. "The entire bill." That gets Mammon to change his tune real quick, causing me to roll my eyes. Once our tab is settled, we head off to Kings Cross Station to catch the train that will take us to the witch.

"Hey, MC!" Mammon calls when we've paid for our tickets. "Check it out!" He points at a nearby concession stand. "This place is selling official Wizarding World of Harry Potter merchandise!"

"I didn't know you liked Harry Potter," I reply.

"Like it? Oh, MC, I love it! It's my favorite human world book series of all time!" Mammon gasps. "I just realized: this is actually one of the locations where the movies were filmed, isn't it?!" I nod my head, but he doesn't appear to be paying any attention to me as he points out the different candy that appeared in the movie franchise.

"I can't not buy these items!" Mammon exclaims right when Lucifer approaches us.

"And who exactly do you imagine is going to pay for them?" he asks menacingly.

"Well, if we were able to stop through my place, I would have been able to grab my wallet, which had both my debit card and some human world money in it, and then I would be able to purchase some items myself," I reply, the attitude in my voice not fully registering in my head until the words have left my mouth. Lucifer sighs.

"I'm sorry, MC. If we were able to make a pit stop, we would. Tell you what: why don't you pick out something that the four of us can have as a way to remember this trip?"

"Oh, so it's totally fine if MC gets something, but the minute I even think about buying something, you give me crap about it?!" Mammon exclaims. "That's unfair!"

"MC's the exchange student, not you," Satan responds. "Whether we like it or not, part of Lucifer's job is to ensure that MC's stay with us is as pleasurable as possible. Since MC wasn't able to grab a whole lot of their things before they arrived, then it's only fair that they're able to get something here, if they so choose."

"Actually, I kinda like the look of this keychain," I state, holding one up for the brothers to see. "It's a chocolate frog that looks like it's made out of real chocolate." When none of them reply, I quickly add,

"It's not that big of a deal. If you guys think it's dorky--"

"If that's what you want, then we'll get it," Lucifer interrupts. "Make sure that there's at least four of them, though."

"There is."

࣪𑁍˖՚༹⌒ Domestic chores with Nct 127 ⌒ ༹՚˖𑁍 ࣪

ᨳ☆‧˚Taeil

Taeil always feels kinda discouraged to start doing the chores, and he drags you along on procrastinating with him

"Come here, Y/N, stay with me a little bit more! Let's cuddle five more minutes, okay?". You agree, ofc, and you stay on the bed for a little too long, talking about the zillion things you have to do, but not having the guts to leave each other's arms.

When you start cleaning the house though, he really gets into it. No dirty spots and no dusty surfaces escape his strong hands.

He plays the most random songs, from classic music to heavy EDM, and you vibe together while doing the chores, bouncing with your brooms in hands and spinning your stained cloths in the air.

In the kitchen, he always gladly cooks for you. But after a long tiring day doing domestic chores, you both agree on ordering some food, spending the night just chilling, watching a movie in the middle of which Taeil probably will fall asleep.

ᨳ☆‧˚Johnny

Johnny is the one who organizes the chores at home. He assigns what each one needs to do, and there you go, his high energy overflowing from his body, encouraging you and providing you the ignition you needed.

"I clean up here, you clean down there" - he says with a suspicious smirk. You don't know if he is making fun of you or if he is being considerate.

He needs his coffee pauses, and he makes you take a break too. You talk about the most random daily things, which always leads to precious bonding moments, the kitchen getting filled with laidback laughs.

Then you continue your activities, in your own pace, jamming to some soft background music.

Johnny likes to offer you rewards. "If we finish this today, I'll buy us some nice ice cream, and then I'll take you to the movies. Deal?"

ᨳ☆‧˚Taeyong

Taeyong has the most endearing way of convincing you that it's time to do some domestic chores. "Y/N, come hereeee! It's time for a couple activity!! I even got us matching rubber gloves, look!"

He doesn't let you do heavy tough stuff though. But when you see him struggling by himself and run to help him, he gives you the most precious smile, full of admiration and gratitude. A cute "Thank yoou!" (yes, in his cute english <3) leaves his mouth.

But there's one thing about doing chores with him that is a bit trick: he loves to rearrange the furniture and decoration. It's always extra tiring, but you have to give him the credit for your house being so cool and stylish.

Taking care of your pets is something that consumes a lot of time, but Taeyong does everything with happiness and sparkly eyes.

He makes sure you have some breaks, to keep hydrated and to eat something. He will prepare you some sandwiches, while you start to plan a little trip to the grocery shop.

ᨳ☆‧˚Yuta

Yuta and you have this synchronicity and telepathy. You think "I guess it's time to sweep the front yard". You get your broom and everything, and when you step out the house, Yuta is already there, cleaning everything.

"Oh, you had the same idea! Well, you can...", he says. "Oh, I guess I will...", you start. "....do the laundry.", you two say at the same time, smiling at each other.

He tries to do things in "Marie Kondo style". He takes a long time folding your clothes, but it's worth the effort. Your wardrobe is a beautiful piece of art.

If he thinks something is dangerous for you, he definetely won't let you do it. Changing the lamp? No no no! It's not that he thinks you're not capable of doing things, he knows you can do anything. He just can't live with the possibility of you getting hurt.

After a day of hard work, you take a warm bath together, and stay in bed for the rest of the night.

ᨳ☆‧˚Doyoung

Like Johnny, Doyoung assigns the chores. He knows the things each one of you is good at.

But he is the type of person that sees you doing something, and automatically says "Wait baby, let me do it for you", or starts helping you, out of habit.

For example: you're doing the dishes, you wash part of the things in the sink, and then you start to rinse them. Doyoung takes the opportunity to sneakily snatch the dish sponge and, it's too late, he won't give it back to you. "Don't get used to it though", he says with a little grin. You grin back, because you lost count of how many times you've heard this same sentence.

You have a lot of plants at home, and Doyoung treats them like real babies. He even bought one for you, a baby tree of your favorite fruit.

Cooking is his thing, so he makes sure you have a nice, delicious and nutricious meal everyday.

ᨳ☆‧˚Jaehyun

Jaehyun will gladly do anything you ask him to do with the best of intentions, and he does his best to help.

He looks at the weather forecast to see when it's a good day to do the laundry, he sorts the garbage for recycling, he researches the supermarkets with the best prices, and does other little things that seem unimportant, but that are truly essential.

He likes vaccuing very dirty places. The satisfaction he gets from seeing the clean path that the vaccum leaves among the dirty is priceless.

But he is clumsy, so you know you can't let him get near the fragile stuff. So the kitchen is a little bit dangerous for him

If he can't help you with something, he makes sure to support you, like a real cheerleader. "Oh yessss honey! You're doing great, wow!That's my baby!!", he says, already massaging your shoulders.

ᨳ☆‧˚Winwin

Winwin sees you getting ready to start cleaning, and he asks you what he can do to help, while wearing your spare cute apron, which makes you smile like a fool.

He follows you and do what you do, ocasionally asking you if the things he is doing are good enough.

He is extra careful when hanging the clothes out on the clothesline, making sure to spread them well to avoid any wrinkles. He knows none of you like ironing, and also you burned yourself once, and he doesn't want this to happen ever again.

He spends a considerable amount of time making your bed, changing the bed linen, tyding up the sheets and smoothing the pillows, so you can feel good in a clean space and relax with him after working hard all day long.

ᨳ☆‧˚Jungwoo

Jungwoo is very good at domestic chores. He is a tidy and organized person, so things go smoothly in your house

He has the ability of turning every boring task into a pleasant and funny experience. Out of sudden you're having a broomstick battle. Out of sudden you're blowing soap bubbles. Out of sudden you're with white flour blots all over your face, after a spontaneous flour smudge battle.

For your surprise, he is excelent on fixing things. His creativity helps him a lot, along with a couple of YouTube videos and a degree on engineering.

Times just flies by his side, and you get surprised when you see the sun going down by your window, as he streches his back and says "we're finally done!", pulling you for a little celebration dance.

Jungwoo doesn't want to cook after doing domestic chores all day long. He orders an amount of food that could feed well ten people, and you eat a lot while watching some nice series.

ᨳ☆‧˚Mark

Mark always tries his best at everything. He knows he is a little bit clumsy, so he does things carefully. Thank God he has spider senses.

A chore that is supposed to be finished in ten minutes takes thirty to be completed, but it's completely fine, because you know it will be perfectly done.

He used to get confused with all the types of cleaning products, but he eventually learned about them all and now he knows anything's purpose just by smeling it. "Mmmm very soft floral smell, must be clothes soap/ Very strong and citric, I guess this is disinfectant" (pls people, don't be like this, it's dangerous for everyone!!!)

At the end of the day, he is so satisfied looking at your team work. You can see it on his little proud smile, while he runs an arm over your shoulders and distractedly kisses your cheek.

ᨳ☆‧˚Haechan

Haechan whines for two minutes before starting doing chores, but he is a man of action after all. "The sooner we start it, the sooner we'll finish it", he says to himself.

You play rock paper scissors to decide who will be the one that will do the unpleasant chores, like cleaning the bathroom and taking the garbage out.

But hearing your heavy sigh after losing for him makes him go "ahh ok, I'll do it, don't worry, but it will cost you twenty kisses!"

He doesn't stop singing while doing the chores. He is like a walking karaoke machine,he knows every song you ask him to sing.

When he cooks for you, you often catch him talking to his mom on the phone, asking her about that dish you liked so much the last time you visited her.

[dourpeep]

Always gotta appreciate Layton, and I’m pretty sure it’s, like, illegal to not like Luke LOL and Emmy’s great- the ending of AL made me sad though OTL

Sycamore mmmm yes I love him too! For a while I was genuinely convinced he was a fake character but he still ended up as one of my favorites. And also Descole, Descole’s theme is actually one of my very favorite parts of the whole series OST- especially the live version! And Clive is good of course, and I also really like Randall, and and and-

And Flora deserves better. I could actually go on a lot longer but I’ll refrain from typing an entire essay in your asks ehe

- insomniac anon

FLORA HOW COULD I FORGET-- she's so cute qwq

But also yesyesyes ahh I'm very much enjoying AL so far! I'm making it my mission to do 100% completion so we'll see how long it takes me >> I'm on like hour 11 so far ehehe I've been doing so much backtracking

But AH SYCAMORE MY BELOVED

I was so sus of him towards the beginning because the whole thing with Targent but also ngl he still is kinda sus >> very flighty, that man is. But ehe

OTL I simp. I'm gonna be sad if he gets a sad backstory since atm I don't know much about him-

but ooo I'll give it a listen!! I love the OST for PL so much ahhh it's just nostalgic and very good study music--gets you really thinking. Though that could just be because I've associated PL music with the idea of solving puzzles haha

And omggg Randall--yes Miracle Mask was so good-

Man, Professor Layton really just hits different nodnodnod
