#this coaster slaps btw

[ghost-bison]

heheehe i'm currently watching the leftovers and honestly the first two eps were kinda hard to watch: lots of information, you're dropped in the middle of the plot and have to go backwards in order to fill in the blanks and understand, lots of characters each with their own stories that are all, as you find out, intertwined, in short it's a beautiful, complicated spiderweb.

it took me until the third episode to really appreciate it, and not just because it's focused on christopher eccleston's character (matt jamison) and that i absolutely love this actor, but also because said character matt isn't as connected to the story as other characters are.

i mean, he is connected, through secrets and his sister and the fact that he's the town's priest so kind of a messenger when it comes to the main plot's elements. but the way that you follow him throughout episode three didn't make all that overwhelming.

for starters, it only focused on his character when the first two if i remember correctly are like i said a web, sometimes even a conglomeration of events and stories and characters. characters whom we don't know the names of yet btw. takes a while to understand that this one is the cop's son and this one the cop's daughter and that other one is the priest's sister etc...

then, even though matt's episode did raise some questions (like his relationship with the cop's dad, or elements of his backstory, or even "is matt a good guy?" cause it's really ambiguous), it also answered some other questions (elements from the first episodes for example).

finally, it's not as confusing as the first two eps because it's really fast-paced, a roller-coaster of emotions, and it crescendos until you reach the episode's climax and you don't know wtf to make of matt anymore.

like you can't really hate him cause you've been basically in his shoes for an entire episode and man was it hard af, but also he's a big hypocrite, but also you agree with what he does but then you don't cause he's an asshole but then you feel bad for him cause dude is so fucking tired and can't catch a break but at the same time god is he stupid???

wonderfully written character, played by an incredible actor. this right here is nuance, bitches. saw an article that said eccleston perfectly portrayed a character that sees the world in black and white but lives is shades of grey (aka his principles only apply to him when it's convenient) and that's exactly it.

best type of character you don't know whether to hug him or slap him. probably both.

also this one episode where kevin is insulting this dude on the phone then he hangs up and screams fuck and matt is standing right behind all awkward and he says "i say fuck too" with a proud little smile like

this is fkn glorious

and the other characters are very cool too: kevin, nora, aimee is hilarious, meg is strange and cute, the frost twins are adorable (omg they're the twins from teen wolf who could converge and form an enormous werewolf dude wtf hello), and wayne wtaf.

if you doctor who fans didn't remember: paterson joseph (wayne's actor) also played bitch ass rodrick in the finale 2 parters of series 1 and he was detestable. and as wayne i really don't know what to think of him except that paterson joseph is a really, really great actor. he's so scary and weird like AAAA

anyways hi i didn't sleep

[blackbutlerfandomnerddomain]

Random thoughts on the newest Black Butler Manga:

My mood currently btw

But anyways:

Snake said/thought something that I for some reason didn't think about-

He's right

Doll wouldn't do all this for harming children unless ordered to. She still doesn't want to.

In both the anime of Book of Circus and the manga format of the Circus Arc, we see this

It seems like Doll has a record of being too close to someone to the point they may have to leave earlier to plan, naive maybe.

And in this scene from the anime

Go to timestamp 3:22 for it

We see that Doll may have helped in the kidnapping but never did the murdering or the actually nabbing bits of the act, everyone else does while she is mostly look out. And even when she does harm someone, she hesitates and shows clear guilt of what she's doing

Adding that and Peter's later slap in the face you get that Doll is the main one who seems to be the "weakest link" and would have all the chances to run

Plus Doll is great with kids, we get that. So Snake's statement of "you would never do this" even while she tried to stab a child is true

Literally two frames ago:

She didn't seem too happy about someone shooting at a kid, so why is her random af (thoroughly creepy) outburst towards Mable happened then?

Well... Cause Doll would obviously be forced to

I've been saying since she appeared back into our lives Doll has always been giving me a off feeling but to properly get this line I realized it's a little bit on the nose on my end at least, Doll most likely has something in it for her to do this, not just life

What is it?

The manor relies on Undertaker for the bodies they may have-

None of the other circus member's bodies were in any frames and anything, minus the obvious rubble of the manor, traces of them were quickly gotten rid of. Now I assume maybe Sebastian burnt any evidence that can burn aka clothes and some hair partials, but as they would put the bodies down the chut and Undertaker can take them.

My guess, Undertaker took them and promised a newly-alived Doll that he can fix them up and make them alive again if she helps out. This can explain how she was able to know how they all died but not Joker and why she honestly seems so desperate, UT would show her his "reports" of the bodies and edge her towards the role of help. Like what he did with the P4...

Now, if Finny doesn't kill her or she doesn't kill herself cause THIS IS THE MOST HEARTBREAKING THING YOU CAN DO TO HER YANA, WHY?!, I think she can easily help them escape, even if (sadly) she might die in the end. Save Snake and the kids and we'll see from there. Like Ada from the last part of this whole emotional roller coaster ride

October 20th, 2023 - SDVX EG, Groove Coaster, Project DIVA, DANCE aROUND, PIU PHOENIX, DDR A3

THE TRUE DAY OF RECKONING HAS ARRIVED, NOW IT'S REALLY TIME FOR MOTL5 GAMING!!! but first, isn't this card the absolute coolest??? i got it while checking into the event, slapped a crude drawing of my fursona onto it, and now i'm geared up n ready to destroy!!!

so i went to waffle house for the very first time with my family to eat breakfast (very good experience btw, i already miss the chocolate waffles), then we set off to spend the whole day at the mall and GUESS WHO I FOUND FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

IT'S BOMBER IN REAL!!! IN THE FLESH!!! WITH HIS ICONIC LACH TOWEL!!! AND HE KICKED MY ASS AT SDVX!!! (but he gave me haruka e-amuse pass to compensate :])

always wanted to meet him in person and the dream had become REAL, SUPER COOL EXPERIENCE!!!

also random tangent but while we were playing sdvx, it turned out the PIU Phoenix kit was installed overnight and was being played while we were playing?? just last night it was XX... but i guess now i'd finally get a taste of the new system for the first time!

since all the dance game cabs (except DaR) were occupied for tourneys, i decided to warm up with the alternative... the busted old unused cabs! gc is so broken whyyy

bonus: HAPPY FAMILY feat. moca and uli!!! (the tiny kohammy is mine)

but now, after all those exhilarating meetings and fun times, it's time for the real deal, my personal action moment of the event... it was TOURNEY TIME!! STARTING WITH PIU PHOENIX!!! warmups were simple, trying out the new songs and getting used to the pads,

but then, it was the real deal vs MajinnTy in a waterfall-style bracket... and after almost getting wrecked with the top-right arrow dropping continuously... i managed to beat him 2-1 and took 2nd place in the pool!!! but since it's waterfall format (i didn't realize this until later), i got thrown into the redemption pool with everyone else and wouldn't get to play until later... but in retrospect that was STILL such an impressive victory.

so once the redemption pool started, i got put up against EMCAT, who had been slowly upgrading from level 2 up to here. it was a weird match, but i hypothetically managed to 2-0 in my set, getting this sick 985k on beat of the war! but once again, it wasn't enough to beat the acc gods in the pool, PacRob and Ty, and i ended up 3rd out of 6 in the bracket, which left me a little dejected to see i wouldn't have my dark horse moment in my first tourney... but in retrospect i worked against the odds and managed to do really well!!! such a nice showing personally, and i'm excited to train some more and try again some other time! (also the 2nd image is from the commentary that my friend watched when i was up which is why i mentioned the dark horse moment, forever alone...)

but NOW!!! IT WAS TIME FOR THE 2ND AND LAST TOURNEY OF MINE FOR THE NIGHT, THE ONE THAT WOULD SEAL MY POTENTIAL OVERALL LEGACY, THE DDR A3 TOURNAMENT!!! unlike the previous PIU tourney, this was a round robin format where all 4 players got to play against each other once in a best-of-three set. and after a set between two others in my pool, i was up for some back-to-back sets, starting with LUBANAHHHH

having warmed up already with pump, i decided to pick long train runnin' challenge for my warmup to confuse the commentators, but then the REAL action began. our first song was lubanah's pick, New York Evolved (Type A) DSP-13 (fucked up), which i dominated solely thanks to MA! and then when it was my pick, i PFC'ed Yoidore Shirazu ESP-13 on-stream once again, taking the set 2-0!!

next up was against KINDLADY/Zaphine, where we both went in without warmup and played Xepher CSP-15 (Zaphine's pick) and Mess With My Emotions ESP-12 (my pick), and i took the set 2-0 again!! except with such a close call on Mess With My Emotions...

and finally in my pool, i played against MisterGuy in both Step Machine ESP-14 (my pick) and Healing Vision (Angelic Mix) ESP-13 (MisterGuy's pick), where i would just barely win Step Machine by 2 points (even got clipped on the Ohio DDR channel), and then PFC Healing Vision to claim my 2nd in-tourney PFC, taking the set once again 2-0 and advancing to level 9 with a perfect performance!!!

level 9 came and i was put up against SnowStorm/SIM, thejurok, and gabbyjay, which would be where my demise would come... only before a bunch of cab crashes! no scores for most of these unfortunately, but i was bested 0-2 by SnowStorm on Revolutionary Addict ESP-13 and PARANOiA Revolution DSP-14 (my MA wasn't quite up to par on either songs, probably exhaustion from only eating before my pump tourney...)

for my set against jurok though, i won my first pick; roppongi EVOLVED Ver.D ESP-15, even despite forgetting to disable my sudden+ before the speedup!!! i forgot what his pick was, but i lost it and lost the tiebreaker too, MAX 300 DSP-12, in order to lose the set 1-2...

then lastly, the final and most ultimate set... the one against longtime Black Flag Academy admin and potential rival, GABBYJAY!!! this set was super funny because we both won each other's picks (he won Bang Pad(Werk Mix) ESP-13, i won osaka EVOLVED (TYPE1) DSP-13), and for the tiebreaker we got New Gravity CSP-14...

and after such an intense battle not shown on stream due to the sheer intensity and vulgarity (actually the stream was what was causing the cab to crash repeatedly), we finished the song and looked at each others' scores to see the results, and...

...by two points. i got a PFC up from a 988k, on-stream, not having seen the chart before, and yet i fell short by such a tight margin, losing the set once again 1-2...

but overall, super satisfying performance from both ends (and super funny reaction)!!! i loved this experience even if i didn't advance twice (which is fine, level 9 was more of a victory lap anyways LOL i was just a silly little teen playing against intimidating adults). but that did indeed conclude my tournament run at the mistaketh on the laketh, so until next time! thanks all who tuned in and cheered me on in chat, the support was so nice to read back at the hotel! but there's still 2 more days of the event to enjoy, so let's enjoy 'em!

KONATE: I meant as in “starting a football match” useful!

PRODUCER: Or do you mean “not injured” useful?

KONATE: [annoyed] Who even hired you?!

MARSCH: [dressed as Ted Lasso, complete with moustache and wig] First international tournament with Canada! I can’t wait to coach them in the soccer tournament—oh wait, it’s called football there, right?

PRODUCER: Actually, Jesse, in Canada they call it soccer, too.

MARSCH: [surprised] Huh, this could be easy!

I think the cut from Konate to Marsch there is really intentional 🤣

Btw, I got the mental image of the producer laughing their ass off after the roller coaster week Marsch been having (and to Konate as well) and how he's drained already after holding on against France after that ass whooping against the Netherlands 😂

Producer: *slapping Jesse on the back* How easy your week has been, man?

Jesse: Touch me again, and imma punch you 😡

There’s nothing better than going to Fun Land with your boyfriend. The only thing that gives you more of an adrenaline rush than a thrill ride is being with Eddie. You’re walking hand-in-hand, sharing cotton candy and comparing your favorite parts of the day.

“I mean, I’m partial to roller coasters, but nothing beats watching you freak out when you thought we were stuck on the Ferris wheel,” you tease, pulling a tuft of the candy fluff that he’s holding and popping it in your mouth.

“We were up there for way too long,” Eddie protests, a blush creeping into his cheeks. “I find it incredibly concerning that you weren’t nervous, actually.” He narrows his eyes. “Are you sure you’re not some kind of sociopath?”

You shrug. “If I was, would I tell you?” 

Eddie bumps his shoulder into yours and laughs. “Touché,” he concedes, leaning over and chomping on the cotton candy.

“Step right up and win a prize!” a deep voice booms from a game stall on your left. You and Eddie turn to face the barker, who immediately latches on to your attention. “C’mon, kid; come and win a teddy bear for your girl!”

Eddie looks at you and grins. “You want a teddy bear?” He doesn’t even wait for you to respond before he changes his course and sets out towards the game. It’s a simple concept: knock over the three wooden milk bottles with a ball, win a prize.

“‘M actually pretty tired, Eds,” you whisper, removing your hand from his and snaking into his back pocket. “And I wanna save some energy so I can properly thank you for this date, hm?” But your boyfriend is already locked in, determined to get that teddy bear come hell or high water.

“How much?” he asks, digging his wallet from his side pocket. He doesn’t even notice the irritated expression on your face.

“One dollar gets ya three tries,” the barker replies, holding out his hand to collect the money. You know these games are always rigged, but you know that the comment will fall on unwilling ears, so you stay quiet. 

Eddie fishes out a one-dollar bill and confidently slaps it in the guy’s outstretched hand. The man raises his eyebrows back at your boyfriend, clearly amused. He gives him the three balls and steps out of his way. “Whenever you’re ready, Macho Man.”

You watch as Eddie launches the first ball and misses entirely. Same for the second. With the third ball, he manages to knock over one, but it’s still not enough for a prize. His face contorts with frustration, tongue poking out of his mouth in a way that you normally find endearing, but you’re too annoyed to appreciate his cute expressions.

“Care to try again?” the barker antagonizes, and you wish you could slap the smirk right off of his face. 

“C’mon, babe. Let’s go home,” you protest through gritted teeth. There’s no way in hell you’re going to stand by and let him blow his money on a stupid game. 

Eddie brushes you off, handing the smarmy man another crumpled bill. One, two, three strikes. 

“Fuck!” Eddie groans loudly, earning a glare from a nearby mom, ushering her daughter away from the booth. “One more try.”

“No, Eddie. I want to leave.” 

He’s about to ignore you again and scrounge around for some loose change, but he’s distracted by a tanned arm being flung around your shoulder. 

“Aww, Munson can’t even win his girl a teddy bear!” Jason Carver oozes unearned bravado.  

You shove him away, rolling your eyes at his pathetic attempt to get under Eddie’s skin. “Fuck off, Carver,” you hiss. “And keep your hands off of me. Aren’t you with Chrissy?”

Jason laughs. “I can’t be tied down, baby,” he smirks, raising an eyebrow, “unless you’re into that.” He winks at you before leaving, calling back, “When you’re done with the Freak, let me know if you need a real man.”

Gross. 

You turn back to where Eddie was just standing, only to find his spot occupied by some random man. 

“Eddie?” No response. “Eddie Munson!” you try, a bit louder this time. Nothing. 

Marching angrily back to the parking lot, you see him leaning against his van and smoking a cigarette. 

“Seriously?” Your frustrated voice snaps him out of his pity party. “What’s your problem tonight?”

“‘S no problem,” he mumbles, but his averted gaze tells you otherwise. 

You cross your arms over your chest. “Ah, yes, because you insisting on winning me a teddy bear that I didn’t even want and ditching me in the middle of Fun Land is totally normal behavior.”

“Why don’t you talk to Jason Carver about it?” His sarcasm matches yours, provoking you further. 

“Is that what this is about?” You roll your eyes. “You couldn’t win a stuffed animal so you just let some dumb jock ruin our date?” Eddie just takes another silent drag from his cigarette. “Let me ask you: did you see me fling myself into his arms and go, ‘Oh, Jason, your ability to win shitty carnival games makes my panties drop’?”

Eddie can’t bite back his smile. “No.”

“You’re damn right. Because I couldn’t care less about that. Even if he was the teddy bear winning champion of the world, I’d still choose you.” You poke his chest with your forefinger. “Except when you act like this. We could be having sex right now, but you decided to get all pouty over nothing.”

His eyebrows raise at the mention of his favorite activity. “We could still…” he offers, glancing towards the back of the van. 

“Absolutely not,” you shake your head, watching his face fall. 

“I’m sorry, babe,” he presses a kiss to your forehead. “Just get in my own head sometimes. ‘S not fair to you.”

You take his hand in yours, swinging it gently. “You gotta talk to me about it; don’t just turn into an asshole.”

Eddie laughs, stubbing out his smoke and pulling you in for a hug. “Noted,” he says, kissing you again. “Now, how can I make it up to you?”

“Oh…I think you know how.”

~

“C’mon, Eds! Sing along!” you shout over the radio, giggling as he just grips the steering wheel tighter in an attempt to ignore you. “Dancing queeeeen, feel the beeeeeeat from the tambouriiiiiiiine, oh yeahhhhhh!” You nudge him gently. “Don’t be shy!”

“You can dance! You can jive! Having the time of your life!” He sings in an obnoxious falsetto, making you laugh even harder. “You’re lucky I love you.”

“Yeah,” you agree, smiling contentedly. “I am.”

"Lord Death is my dad now. Sorry, Kid." - Meeting DTK’s Father HCs

Request: Hey! If that's okay could i request some headcanons for Lord Death acting as a father figure to Kid's s/o?

And maybe kid's s/o doesn't have a good relationship with their actual parents but as soon as Death started acting this way they're immediately like "okay you're my dad (in law!) now."

The whole thing is just-

Btw can you tag me once it's ready? Thanks!

Feel free to ignore if you're not comfy with it!!

Title: "Lord Death is my dad now. Sorry, Kid." - Meeting DTK’s Father HCs

Genre: fluffy, v e r y comedic, angst if you squint, and frankly a lil romantic at some points

Pairing: Death the Kid x GN!Reader

Notes: Okay, the second I saw this in my inbox, I was excited. Like, really excited.

Not only because of the meme included, (though that was one things that caught my attention, to be fair-) but also due to the request itself. I can totally see Lord Death doing this and Kid being so embarassed, and the whole gang clowning him for it- 

A whole treasure trove of ideas slapped me square in the face, and I really appreciate you for that! On another note, I decided to roll with headcanons, so I hope that’s alright. 

Do note that there will be some slight mentions of familial abuse/neglect, so proceed with caution if you wish to read it. 

That said, I hope you enjoy it! 

Below the cut!

being a student at the DWMA was a fun experience, just as much as it was dangerous

and you were most definitely more open than you were when you first started schooling

but most people chalked that up to meeting death the kid

you came in after the main group did, even after kid did, so you were to be guided around the school by someone.

you didn’t have a partner yet, but that would be soon to come, and it just happened to come to be by the end of the day.

normally, that itself would have been a milestone

but

you didn’t expect that lord death’s son would be the one to give you the guide

you had been instructed to arrive at 7 to pick up any information and ask any questions about protocols that were needed (a staff member met you outside) 

but were told that your tour would start at 8 am as opposed to when you were done with your questions

which was weird, until kid showed up and proclaimed happiness at seeing you there on time

it clicked then, and you had been intrigued since

its been a few years now, you had met the group and had gotten along with them and your partner did as well

but the thing that not a single person expected to happen (aside from certain teachers and staff, of course) was that you and kid got close

and closer

and closer

until liz caught on and called you both out in the middle of a basketball game in the park’s court

seriously, she shouted at the both of you

“kiss and get over the tension already!” to be exact

so you two did

on your second date- 

but yeah, that started the roller coaster ride that is called your relationship with death the kid

on a more serious note, though this was completely unexpected

the only reason you had a partner was because they were an old friend of yours and you both applied to the DWMA 

and got lucky enough that you two were accepted

so you two obviously collaborated when you ran into each other and eventually became a weapon and meister pair

but again, that was due to the bond you two had growing up

your parents never really reacted well around each other, and thus the relationship you wanted with the both of them never came

in fact, it twisted what you already had and now you refuse to contact them unless absolutely neccessary

really, you wanted something more meaningful with the both of them, but their approach to relationships, love, and life in general turned you away from anyone that you just...couldn’t trust 

and kid just so happened to understand your hesitance to speak on it, and respected it

(almost) everyone else tried to pry, but he didn’t

and the way that he handled it just felt...diffferent than the way others did

you respected it

and you knew he respected you and your boundaries as well

so yeah

that trust was the reason

it wasn’t until you had been brought to the death room with him to meet his father that you saw your chance

“heya, kiddo! who have you got here with you?”

“father, this is my partner, (y/n).”

“hello, lord death.”

he sounded super cheery, extremely far off from what you expected

but it wasn’t an unwelcome surprise

“just call me pops, kid!”

that moment was when it clicked

kid was deathly embarassed, but you?

yeah, you were basking in it

from that point forward, if you were to ever see lord death, you would always do things that you wanted to do with your parents

card games, stupid paintings, discussing stupid things

hell, he even managed to pull out images of kid as a baby when you had dropped in to bring something to him before you and kid actually began your date

that was a story lol

“(y/n), dear, i’m so sorry about him-”

“no, no, no, it’s fine, kid!”

“as fine as it may be, it was quite sudden and he is often like that...”

“i can tell, but really - it’s fine, kid.”

he sighed a sigh of relief

“...but you were an absolutely a d o r a b l e baby, y’know that?”

cue kid slamming his face into the table at the cafe you were currently at 

and that’s not all 

whenever lord death would drop by the gallows mansion, he would always be sure to ask about you you weren’t there

it honestly made kid a little jealous 

but it was all in good fun

kid knew of your family issues, so he knew what lord death was to you 

which made even more sense when you had to get something off your chest but you just couldn’t bring yourself to tell kid

your parents had tried to contact you, pestering you and ridiculing you for not coming over and not calling them to inform them of your state

you knew they didn’t really care, you knew they only wanted to mooch off your status as the partner to lord death’s son

it really rubbed you the wrong way, and you had to rant, kick, scream, and cry

but you didn’t want to burden kid with that

whether he would understand wasn’t what you were afraid of, rather it was burdening him

you knew that he would listen and do what he could possibly do to ease your tension

but you needed a nice card game and some tea to talk it over

so you went to lord death

(after checking if he was available, obviously) 

he was curious, admittedly, but no matter

why wouldn’t he welcome a student just wanting to talk?

especially considering that things were going as normal

(and that you were making kid happy anyway-) 

you went over, and he had already been doing some shuffling

tea wasn’t made, obviously

but you still came in

“ah, (y/n)! what brings you in, kiddo?”

you waved, slightly

“some family stuff. you don’t mind if i stay here and talk it out with you, do you?”

“of course not! let’s have a seat and then we can talk, hmm?”

you smiled slightly, nodding

“i’d like that.”

and so tea was brought in, cards were set up, and you began to play a multitude of card games 

you ranted, telling him of why you came here

(he suspected something was going on because most people that come in from out of town without their parents imply some indication of homesickness)

(you didn’t) 

how your parents were neglectful, failing to not only praise your achievements, but also failing to truly care for you

it was similar to matilda, to be frank

you even compared that movie to your life

your parents were greedy and materialistic

and you didn’t fall in with what they wanted

you could honestly care less about what they wanted from you at this point,

but the fact that they had called you and demanded - yes, D E M A N D E D - that you share the spoils of death the kid and lord death...

yikes

it tipped you over the edge

it was then that death saw what kid saw in you, the reason as to why he came to this point

not only were you respectful, intelligent, and highly capable

you were also extremely strong to endure that 

lord death let you scream, cry, even break a couple of objects that weren’t needed anymore to blow off steam

and once you were done, he gently patted your head and handed you the last cookie that was on the plate

“if you need to talk ever again, come on back. i’m here to help you, kiddo!”

you laughed brushing the nonexistent dirt off your pants before you thanked him

(and grabbed the cookie. obviously.) 

he was curious as to why you didn’t tell, kid, though...

you were walking out when he stopped you once more

“if i could ask, though, why didn’t you tell kiddo?”

you shrugged, making a face

“i don’t want to burden him. he’s already stressed out enough, i couldn’t do that to him.”

“oh, don’t worry about kid! i promise he’ll understand, (y/n).”

you nodded once more, thanked him once again, and left the death room.

and from that point forward, you and kid had lord death as your biggest fan.

on multiple occassions, you and death would team up to help kid

you both were cheering him on when blackstar wanted to challenge him to a fight to test his improvement

you were in there to tell him about the new progress you and your partner had made

but then maka had sent you a text saying that kid and blackstar were going at it

(yes, we’re gonna act like they have cell phones)

you giggled at it, told lord death, and then proceeded to watch from a window

after you told maka to access it, of course

when the image came up, you were both armed with pom-poms and confetti

kid balked and soul, the twins, as well as maka bust out laughing

(blackstar just shouted about how he was going to win and that you two should be supporting him lol)

that fight went well

(for kid) 

and the next day was spent playing basketball with the gang

it was there that you did the same thing

and who did the same thing when kid had reported progress?

of course, the one and only lord death! 

there were even a couple occassions that you would drop in with kid when he would go to report progress ‘

(or you, it happened both ways) 

that things would get sidetracked before the progress could be communicated,

and death would pull out something that kid loved when he was younger to show you

baby pictures, an old stuffed animal, some old drawings that he’d done

you loved it, lord death enjoyed it, and kid was perpetually embarrassed

(though he always knew it was all in good fun) 

he did have to admit that it made him really happy, though

he wasn’t sure if you would get along with his father considering the relationship you had with yours was far from ideal

but his worries proved false

it allowed comfort for the both of you,

and lord death really appreciated and respected you for helping kid come to terms with his OCD and help him when he would panic or simply require backup

and as for you? 

you had a lot of ammo to fire at kid if the time came for you to surprise him 

(read: lighthearted blackmail) 

and you also had a good source of information to reach out to when you were stumped for a gift 

all in all, it worked out perfectly

and, when it came time to either become a death scythe or get your weapon to becoming a death scythe

lord death had paired you, your partner, kid, and the twins altogether as a team

you not only managed to gain acclaim, but also a father that truly loves his child and a boyfriend that respects you and treats you as you both know you deserve to be treated

(plus the inside jokes that came from talking with death confuse kid often, so that’s another plus)

DONT BE LIKE WHY ARE YOU BEING MEAN TO ABUELA BUT SHE WOULD LIKE HAVE TO RENT ONE OF THOSE WHEELCHAIRS BC OF THE WALKING-

---------------------------------

Camilo:

The daredevil

Goes on the most INSANE roller coasters at California Adventure

Mirabel and Camilo would 100% be that type of person who would cry on a roller coaster and then 5 minutes later would be like "I WANNA GO AGAIN."

Maybe gets himself kicked out???

He doesn't like the calm roller coasters but will go on some of them with Antonio <3

Would shapeshift into the Disney Statues to scare people-

--------------------------------

Luisa + Isabela

Both of them love roller coasters

Gets Mirabel and both of them mickey hats (quietly cries in corner)

Isabela doesn't like the wet rides, she prefers her hair dry

Luisa is actually scared of roller coasters but because of her intimidating figure, she just holds in the fear. Plus like Bruno, loves the thrill

Both of them will happily go on Its A Small World ITS JUST SO CUTE

-----------------------------

Bruno + Pepa + Julietta

Oh boy the three of them

Bruno actually likes roller coasters

Pepa prefers to not go on them for the sake of the weather

Julietta well, she likes getting souvenirs but she will gladly go on some roller coasters with the kids :D

If they both manage to get Pepa onto a roller coaster, expect thunder for 10 minutes

Julietta would get everyone snacks once their taking a break AND WE ALL KNOW THE DISNEY FOOD SLAPS.

When waiting in line, Bruno will go "knock knock knock knock knock on wood" bc he heard stories of people getting (y'know) on the roller coaster but overall he loves the thrill of them

BONUS BC MOTIVATION.

Camilo: Hey let’s go on that one Mirabel!

(points to the Incredicoaster [search up if you don’t know] )

Antonio: Can I come?

Camilo: Are you sure Antonio?

Antonio: Yeah! :D

Mirabel: *quietly braces for the worst* AFTER THE RIDE

Camilo: So how was it Antonio?

Antonio: *little sniffle* Too fast :(

Pepa: Camilo why is Antonio crying?

Camilo: Shi-

----------------------------------

Im doing a part 2 for the sake of my math homework btw TYSM FOR THE SUPPORT ON MY LUISA HC'S!!!! I really appreciate the support on it :)

Anyway bye bye dears!

[darkmagickingdom]

While I'm on the subject, other rides I wish existed and might make a thing in this AU, besides the Treasure Planet dark ride:

A version of the Dumbo ride that's a bunch of Tick-Tocks circling a center figure of a terrified Hook (idk this one just seems very charming to me as a kiddie ride and with how much Peter Pan leans into the comedy aspect of Tick-Tock chasing Hook, who the company is pretty clear will never actually eat him...)

A permanent Nightmare Before Christmas attraction, so fans don't have to just wait for Haunted Mansion Holiday every year. Boogie's the easiest to theme a ride around (just slap a roulette wheel overlay on your standard spinny ride) but I kinda want something more than that. Maybe another dark ride, but this time instead of covering the story of the movie, it follows a small, loose sequel inspired by Oogie's Revenge?

We've had a high-speed Mr. Toad ride, can we get a high-speed Horseman chase ride to complete the set? Maybe even throw in an alternate ending for the chase (darker in tone of course to match Mr. Toad landing in Hell in the ride version of his story) It would be slow and spooky at first, mirroring the prelude to the Horseman chase, then when the Horseman appears, the ride picks up speed and takes tight corners and jarring turns, with false "near-misses" with the Horseman

(I also want to add a Horseman cameo to the Haunted Mansion since he was in one of the unused plans)

Give the Buzz rides some Star Command references, that's all, I don't really need a full ride when we already have a good in-the-spirit one for the original that a few things could just be added to

(Although my brain just conjured up the idea of a Star Command ride that's just a parody of Rise of the Resistance but. I don't think that would actually work. It's just a funny concept to imagine cartoon Zurg taking the place of Kylo Ren)

SOMETHING Clone Wars-themed, for Pete's sake just acknowledge Clone Wars beyond our girl Ahsoka

Ohhhh maybe a "race" coaster that simulates a Clone Wars space dogfight (that's in reference to when two warplanes engage in battle with each other, not the illegal sport of making two actual dogs fight each other btw) and depending on which vehicle you board, you assume the role of one of the main Jedi (and maybe Rex because he's our boy) or one of the main villains and who each side plays and who "wins" could be randomized. With banter from both characters during slower points in the ride (and in the queue) for added effect. Though I'd say give the guests the choice of which side they want to board...although a part of me worries that wouldn't be practical due to uneven amounts of people wanting to be either not matching up with available seating. But this is purely fun speculation, so...my city now.

We're bringing back Extra-Terror-Estrial and we're keeping it scary

Also let's revamp Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour because HK needs something to do besides walk around shuffling away from children's attempts to hug him. I want to revise the story of the attraction and how it fully plays out but I'm not sure exactly how yet. Good still wins though because I'm already suggesting too much spooky shit, gotta sprinkle in some happy endings to appease the mouse overlord

Elephant Graveyard coaster. That's it, that's the whole bullet point. (Shout-out to gavillain for coming up with that one)

I think he also had an idea for a Bald Mountain coaster and that one kicked ass too. Can you fucking imagine a Chernabog animatronic

Laugh Floor but it's House of Mouse. Please. Actually no, just make House of Mouse into an actual restaurant.

Something Atlantis-themed but my brain is not giving me ideas. :(

Please turn Tiana's Palace into a restaurant

Oh yeah and a coaster based on Yzma's lab entrance. With "WRONG LEVER!" reference at the beginning. Because early Tumblr was right about that, that would rock.

Idk what kind of ride would justify this but I just. Want an animatronic of snake Jafar. For reasons.

The existing carousel is iconic so don't change it but can we get another one somewhere else that's all Disney mounts. Like can we get Rajah and Belle's horse and Mulan's horse and Horseman's horse, and Maximus, and Sven I guess and Slim's buffalo and my spooky side says tnbc skeleton reindeer but I don't think you could turn that one into a comfortable place to sit, maybe a "centaurette" from Fantasia and the black pegasus, Hercules Pegasus, elephant Abu (I don't think Carpet could be turned into one people wouldn't just fall off of), and...

Maybe just a neat little walkthrough Cave of Wonders? Idk

That's all I got for now

[magnus-the-maqnificent]

okay so im reading it right now and im loving the atmosphere youre setting up!!

"It was too early in the morning for this." so true king😔✊🏾

oh man magnus just gave his hand to alec i-

""I shouldn’t, Alec couldn’t help but think. I shouldn’t - he could betray me. I can’t always rely on him. He is-

Ah, fuck it." i mean. its magnus bane. i wouldnt refuse either

"until that scout had found him one day, slapped him senseless" honestly this part of the show intrigued me cause it implies that everyone got slapped before they accepted the card and honestly getting slapped by gong yoo is such a jarring visual.

"But these eyes… these eyes would be the last light left for Alec when the open sky was closed to them and everyone was doused in darkness." dude youre writing actual poetry are you aware of that???

OH FUCK RAPHAEL IS HERE???

zara is also here😐

[also im listening to a ballad rn and it is making me emo😭]

"Besides, if someone as beautiful as you fed me poison, I’d gladly eat it.” 😳bruh sdfgfdsdlaejdf

" I know we’ll be walking out together.” me who has seen squid game and knows exactly how this game goes:😑i pretend i do not see this

alec's backstory is giving me actual pain why

“I don’t want the world. I want you ,” Alec said" the way this line made me cry both in the books and your fic😭😭

cant believe both dark!alec and punk!alec make a show in this fic(i say punk, but he just got like 2 piercings)

ah man that was a roll coaster of emotions but i loved it!!!

I liked how you paced out the different scenarios and blended them together which created a very intriguing story! The characterization of the characters were written smoothly and this being written from alec's pov was a great choice! i genuinely enjoyed reading this!!

its late here so i have to go but thank you for writing this !! (btw ive been binging your other fics all day and i honestly love them so much)

also i was so suspicious when magnus was introduced as 001👀👀 glad to see my instincts(and me having watched squid game) came handy😌

AYYYY YOU READ IT :D

This fic is a train wreck in slow motion lol we all know what's coming but we just can't stop reading 😂😂😂

Yep, everyone definitely got slapped by gong yoo 🤣 idk who slaps them in this fic but I was imagining gong yoo himself while I wrote sooo yeah

No but thanks for making me aware of it 🥰🥰🥰

YEP. POOR RAPHAEL. no regrets for Zara though I genuinely enjoyed killing her ✌

[Ooh which ballad is it? 👀]

MAGNUS IS A LIL SIMP OKAY

*pat pat* it's okay things get better for him 🥺

That was the point, yes 🤭

HE HAS THE RANGE OKAY 😂

ASDDHKJGFS THANK YOUUUU 🥺🥺🥺 also I hope you're enjoying reading my other fics too

Magnus’s number was intended to be foreshadowing, yes 😎

[fisumisu]

ALRIGHT! I’ve now seen the new Cats movie!

My first thought?

”That could’ve been a lot worse, actually.”

Even if I didn’t absolutely love it, some of the songs really brought me glimpses of the happiness and excitement I got from the original musical, and dare I say it, I would actually like to see the new movie again.

I went to see it right after watching the old version with my friend (she loved it btw!) and so, the contrast was pretty big.

My general thoughts and some shameless ranting with absolutely no order *spoilers ahead*:

- I got used to the designs of the characters quite quickly, there were some I liked more than the others but my mind numbed to it eventually. "You get used to anything, except an icicle up in your asshole", as the age old Finnish saying goes (and that's a rock fact).

- However, I did not like Jennyanydots the Bodyhorror Cat and I am pretty sure the person behind every decision regarding her might be an alien.

-Bustopher Jones lost all his dignity. In the musical he is very respected and completely fine with being a ”bounder”, yet in the movie they make a joke about him being sensitive about it. I also could’ve done without seeing cat men and women wolf down garbage.

- Apparently falling and tripping on things is still concidered to be peak humor in Hollywood.

- (maybe thanks to that) Instead of the humor coming from just their body language, they relied more on the spoken gags. Most of them are pretty meh. However, I’ll never forget the ”Is he neutered? That note was kiiinda high...” line, ’cause, whoa... wow... damn... Didn’t expect that. Lmao.

- Speaking of the Rum Tum Tugger... well, let’s just say John Partridge will probably keep the mantle of being the best Tugger forever. Derulo has a good voice but the whole design given to his character and the way they had downgraded his importance in the movie made him a tad forgettable.

- Also, Jellicle cats do not have cheerful faces, actually Jellicle cats seem rather mean.

- The ”Touch me!” Part of Memory lost most of its meaning since the importance of touch was never implied in the movie. I’m also annoyed that the directors didn’t tell the actor of Grizabella (Jennifer Hudson) to go a bit easier on her first two appearances and do the full blast crying scene at the end when she’s pleading the other cats to accept her. Her emotion was seriously amazing, but because it was too strong right from the start, she lost the wow moment she could’ve had at the end. It wasn’t her fault, Memory is supposed to be an emotional roller coaster, but she should’ve been directed better.

- I prefer Grizabella being much older looking overall, even in the musical productions, since the comparison between how the Jellicles behave towards Gus and Grizabella is quite an important point to me. If they are both older cats, it’s easier to see and the decision to send her to the Heaviside layer more justified. Yeah, Grizabella’s coat was a bit dusty and the corner of her eye a bit scarred in the movie but she was waaaaaaay too fine to think she’d need a whole new life to fix herself. Nope.

- Very important note: There definitely should've been a rule that cats with clothes should KEEP THEM ON during the entire movie. The whole deal with clothing was utterly baffling altogether. Some cats had cat sized shoes, hats, jackets and they seemed unable to decide if they should keep them on or be in their birthday suits most of the time. Plus, if some cats have clothes and others don’t, it’s just going to look odd. And hey, why is that one cat otherwise naked but wearing shoes? I don’t know man, nobody knows.

- Thankfully, Skimbleshanks the Railway cat decided he rather liked his pants and never removed them. His tap dancing number was one of the best scenes in the movie. He also had a proper excuse to wear cat shoes. Good job Skimble.

- Ian McKellen (the cat) had the kind of fur around his head I wish every cat on the movie would’ve had. I’ll never forget him saying ”Meow, meow, meow!” Or dunking his head into a bowl to lap water with his tongue. I actually got a bit teary eyed watching his number.

- I don’t feel that Taylor Swift’s Bobalurina was... well, Bombalurina. She was just some hench cat whose only purpose was to get everyone high on catnip and preach about Macavity.

- Honestly, I actually thought the whole Macavity song part was pretty neat! Hear me out (don’t scoff, lol). Yes, it was odd, but the way the dancers started moving when the golden flakes touched them was fascinating to watch. It was almost like a reference to the beginning where the cats couldn’t help but dance under the Jellicle moon and their movement showed that clearly. Storytelling, but with dance! Can you believe it!? I’m just sad that the CGI cheapened the dancers’ amazing performances during the whole movie since their movement looked odd at places thanks to the added fur. When there’s so much digitally added effects on screen, you can’t help but wonder, is this real or just animated?

- I haven’t said anything about Munkustrap, I notice. Maybe because I like complaining too much and had to get all the whining out of the way. Good news, Munk remains a good, good cat and he was definitely my favourite character, alongside with Skimble (who kept his pants on, as you might recall). Thank the Everlasting cat or the Maker for small mercies.

- Also, to people talking about Munk and Misto in this new movie, I see ya. My poor heart is quite confused since the song Mr Mistoffelees is, and will always be, to me (and many others) Tugger and Mistoffelees' song, and therefore can have that kinda romantic vibe. Since they threw Tugger out of the window, going as far as to make the two interract as little as possible, I’d rather eat my right leg than accept the romance they cooked up with Victoria and Misto. Since Munkustrap sings the first parts of Mistoffelees’ song in the movie, I can see why Munk and Misto could be seen as a new pairing.

I don’t mind if you like Victoria and Misto together, it doesn’t itch my bum what other people enjoy, so have fun! Victoria x misto is just not for me. If I had to choose who I ship in this movie, I’d probably ship Skimbleshanks with his hat. It’s a very good hat. You can’t see the CGI ears under it. Oh, did I mention Skimble's pants? They were red and he kept them on throughout the whole movie.

- (just remembered) Victoria singing Beautiful Ghosts to Grizabella immediately after Grizabella ended her second part of Memory, reminded me of that Tall Girl meme from last year. Like, “You think your life is hard?" *bursts into song*

- Macavity being so desperate about getting to the Heaviside layer was actually pretty hilarious and the whole thing about him vanishing all the other “contestants” was something new and unexpected. Didn’t really mind it. I just wish the big finale would’ve been Mistoffelees making all the vanished cats appear again.

- Judyteronomy teleporting behind everyone after Mistoffelees song made me laugh.

- Mistoffelees believing in himself at the end of the movie was pretty wholesome.

- Hey! Macavity’s fur actually looked a bit red when the light hit it from just the right angle and the stars aligned! I wonder if that was one of the features they added when they did the updates. Maybe that's why they couldn't afford to give people cat noses. Oh well.

And that’s all for now!

This is already pretty long and got kinda outta hand. Thanks if you read this whole thing! I just wanted to vent and gather my thoughts about the movie. I love to nitpick and poke at stuff. I hope I didn't come across too negative or say only things everyone and their mothers have already talked about. The movie was far from perfect but in this nice safe bubble of ours no one should feel ashamed of liking something Cats the musical related. I'm actually itching to see this again, in all its horrifying glory, because despite all its flaws and things I wish they would've done differently, it's still Cats and some of the songs and scenes absolutely, quite positively slapped.

If you, for some unthinkable reason, would like to know my thoughts on a specific scene or thing in the new Cats movie, or just anything Cats related, feel free to ask me!

Toodle pip!

New June Promo Thoughts!!

Will I ever stop gushing about how cute it is that Mao Mao's narrating his own promo? No. No, I don't think I will.

WHITE CAPE, GLOVES, SASH AND CUISSES?? A GOLDEN BODY AURA?? I FEEL A NEW MAO MAO FORM COMING ON!! (I'm betting this is Strange Bedfellows) [BTW, white symbolizes death in some Asian countries...just thought that was interesting (◕ᴗ◕ )]

This holo-axe empty, YEET (I’m also betting this is Strange Bedfellows)

Nice Sky Pirate footage, thank you Simmons, very cool. (This is either Try Hard or Strange Bedfellows)

I dunno what's going on here but Badgerclops' face is killing me. (Lucky Ducky Mug maybe?)

Is that a scorpion monster? It doesn't look like the one from the other promos so I have a feeling it'll be important.

Ayy, it's the watermelons from the French promo! Bet those are gonna be important too. (Perfect Couple)

Heeey, I recognize that cave from Spooky's fanmade trailer! At first I was wondering what Badgerclops was doing but then I noticed there's another monster behind Mao's cape. Thank GOD for worldbuilding!!

OHMYGOD LOOK AT MAO HE'S SO FREAKING EXCITED IT'S SO PURE...but please don't suffocate Adorabat sweetie that isn't very cash money (Perfect Couple?)

Badgerclops is me when I rode the Skyrush at Hershey Park when I was 11-12 (I wanna add a link to that one What's New Scooby-Doo? scene when they're riding on the roller coaster and Daphne starts screaming "G-FORCE!!" but I can't find it)

Looks like all that twirling Badgerclops made Adorabat do in Orangusnake Begins really paid off.

Simmons I Am Once Again Asking You To Make An Episode With Badgerclops Saving Mao Mao Instead Of Mao Mao Saving Badgerclops (Try Hard??)

AWWWW MAO MAO AND ADORABAT'S FACES ASDCGJKLTL

Also while I was rewatching I noticed one of the animations in the facecam was retroscoped from another episode - the animation where he throws his arms up and his cape poofs behind him is from the cold open of Nakey! I just thought that was cool :)

In conclusion: WAY better than just slapping some words and audio on an old promo!! The scenes I'm most excited to see are the one with the white cape and the ones in the cave system!! (I'm assuming the ones where they're on the cart are in a cave)

BROOKE

As soon as Brooke got home she ripped off her dress and went to wash her face. At this point, her thoughts were scattered all over the place. When she had taken her makeup off she sat down on the floor to let that panic fade away a little bit. She wasn’t sure what’s gotten into her. She truly cared for Vanessa but Vanessa didn’t deserve a monster like her. Yes, it was a long time ago but what if Brooke gets scared and hurts Vanessa the way she hurt Kameron. Maybe she isn’t ready for a relationship yet. Maybe she shouldn’t bring Vanessa along to the roller coaster ride she calls her life. Vanessa deserves the world and she surely can’t give her the world. At least not right now. Brooke texted Nina on her way home so when the doorbell rang she quickly went to open it, expecting that it’s Nina. What she didn’t expect was to be met by someone’s hand. “What the fuck, Vanessa,” she yelled not because she was angry or anything but mostly because it was still painful to get slapped. Vanessa looked as surprised as Brooke by the slap, as she quickly brought her hands up to her mouth and started apologizing “Oh- shi- Broo- So sorry, like, serious- I don’t know what got into me, sorry,”. Brooke was still rubbing her cheek as she gestured for Vanessa to step inside. They both sat down on the couch and there was silence. Neither of them said anything. It wasn’t exactly an awkward silence but it definitely was a little uncomfortable. “Look,” Vanessa finally said “whatever A’keria said it don’t matter-”, “No, it does-,” she wanted to tell her how much but was cut off by Vanessa. “Okay, well, then tell me your side of the story,” Vanessa said grossing her arms. That’s not what Brook expected Vanjie to say. She doesn’t want to tell her side because that’s not what matters. But she knows arguing with Vanessa is so fucking pointless. So she tells Vanessa and V just smiles. OH GOD SHE DOESN’T DESERVE HER. Vanjie tells her she is mad but she doesn’t care because it was a long long time ago. And that’s when Brooke realizes that Vannesa can’t be brought down with the hurricane that Brooke is. She will drain her. SO she does THE MOST STUPID thing she has ever done. “Vanessa, you deserve the whole world and you deserve someone who is ready to give it to you,” Brooke says and Vanessa smiles “But not me, I am not ready. I thought I was but- I am not ready yet, V.”. Brooke is trying to grab Vanessa’s hand but she pulls it away. These words come to Brooke and she just doesn’t stop talking. FUCKING SHUT UP BROOKE LYNN. Brookes not sure why she is saying those things. She doesn’t wanna say them. Yet she is saying them. But in her mind, she is doing Vanessa a favor. She is giving her a way out. Why is she not taking it?

VANNESA

“I’m not ready yet, V,” the words echo in her head making her feel nauseous? Angry? No! You can’t do this? You have no right to do this! How fucking dare you! Please stop talking. I love you. I love- I lo- “I-,” Vanessa took a moment “I need to go,” Although Vanessa wants to run, she doesn’t. She walks slowly and with every step, she takes it kills her more and more because she knows now that Brooke doesn’t care enough to stop her. She walks until she is can’t see Brookes’ apartment anymore. What the fuck just happened. No, like seriously, did Brooke just broke up with her for no reason. Honestly, no REASON. She walks a few steps more and “Miss are you okay?” a voice says behind her. She nods “I’m fine,”, “Vanessa?” says the voice. For a split second, she thought it might have been Brooke but the voice wasn’t Brookes. So she turned around. Nina. Right now Nina was the last person V would like to see (except form Brooke). But seeing Nina was apparently exactly what she needed. “What happened?” she took a few steps closer to Vanessa and hugged her strongly. “Why don’t you ask Brooke,” Vanessa said her voice sounding harsh. She could tell Nina was really confused but honestly, Vanessa didn’t know what else to tell her because she really wasn’t sure either about what just happened. Vanessa couldn’t even tell she was crying until Nina softly whispered ‘it’s okay’. She quickly pushed herself away and started walking trying to decide whether she should walk a few hours home or get a cab. Vanjie heard Nina call after her but she didn’t react she just kept walking. After a few hours, she got back home. She was still angry at Brooke for breaking up with her for no reason. But part of her felt like she shouldn’t be angry. They have been girlfriends for a day and that thing has been going on for only a month. She opened the door and Silky was sitting on the couch with a smirk on her face “I hope the sex was good, bitch,”. Vanessa didn’t have the energy right now, her makeup was mostly cried off and she didn’t want to talk to Silk about it because she knows she’d say something along the lines ‘you fall too easily’ or ‘it’s good that you got out’. And that is not what she needed right now. What she needed was a long hot bath and a bottle of wine. so she grabbed a bottle from the table and went into the bathroom leaving puzzled Silky behind.

BROOKE

After Vanessa ran out Brooke thought for a second that she should go after her. But something kept her in her house. “For fuck sake,” she said to herself while looking at the front door. Maybe if she looked at it long enough Vanessa would come back in and tonight has never happened. But it did happen and Brooke was angry with herself because at the end of the day it was her fault. Nina came busting through the door scaring the shit out of Brooke “Nina, holy-”, “What’s the matter with you? Finally, something good happens to you. And what do you do with it? Let it go. Brooke, I love you like my sister so please tell me what the fuck is wrong with you!”. Nina almost never got angry with Brooke so this was something so rare and also kinda weirdly scary. Brooke felt like her mom was yelling at her. “Hey, you can’t be pissed because-”, “No, Brooke I can be pissed, can’t you see you are sabotaging yourself again. You have since whatever happened before with Kam”. Nina was angry and B could tell. But B didn’t want to react mostly because she knew what she did was fucking stupid but also because she was stubborn and couldn’t let Nina win. “No, you don’t understand I gave her a way out I gave her a chance to be free. I didn’t lock her into a box. I’m a good person”, “Yes, you are, but you would have been even better if you’d didn’t break up with her after one minor inconvenience” Nina had a point she always did. “Brooke, I truly love you, and you are not stupid but you are the biggest idiot on this planet.”. Brooke didn’t wanna talk about it anymore and so Nina dropped it. Although that evening Nina didn’t talk about it it didn’t mean that she wouldn’t mention it to Brooke on every second of the day after that night. And it wasn’t only Nina. Whenever Brooke spent time with Plastique she would tell B what Ariel was telling her. Mostly that Vanjie was heartbroken and that Brooke should at least apologize. And every time Nina or Plastique mentioned Vanessa Brooke just rolled her eyes and told them to get over it. Told them to drop it. But in Brookes mind. She was constantly thinking about Vanessa. Thinking about her smile. Her smell. Her voice. Even thinking about calling her. After yet another night out with Plastique and Nina(and the two of them grilling Brooke about what happened with Vanessa.) as Brooke got home, she grabbed her phone and stared at Vanessa’s contact. After five minutes she finally decided to call her. She didn’t but the phone to her ear but just stared at her screen if V would even pick up. “Hi,” Brooke said softly as someone picked up. “Brooke, why are you calling her?” a voice said… Silky’s voice. “Can I please talk to Vanessa?” “No.” “Silky, plea-” “No you can’t she moved on and so should you.” After that Silky hangs up. But Brooke was confused. Vanessa wouldn’t move on so fast. She was a hopeless romantic after all.

VANESSA

“Who was that?” Vanessa said as she walks out of her bedroom looking like a hot mess. “Oh, just some company offering some things,” Silky answers, face still in Vanjies phone. Vanjie looked at the time. It was way too late for any company to be calling her. “Silky,” Vanessa said making her way to her friend and grabbing her phone from her hands “If it was a selling company why would you delete the log?”. Silky shrugged and started explaining how they can hack your phone when you don’t delete it. But Vanjie wasn’t listening. Her thoughts wandering elsewhere as she was making her way to the kitchen “So Anna invited us to a party tomorrow,” Vanjie yells to Silky taking a cider from the fridge. “Another one? Wasn’t there one like yesterday?”, “Your point?” Vanjie said walking out to the living room and sitting down next to Silk. “ maybe you need to slow down with the parties and drinks and stuff,”. Do that comment Vanessa only rolls her eyes and puts the cider down as she gets up “Okay, mom,” she says going to her bedroom. Silky is right. She needs to slow down but she can let her know that. It’s been almost two weeks yet she can’t get Brooke out of her head. She has been going around parties, drinking, doing drugs, fucking everything that looks kinda like Brooke. She can’t get that thing(Brooke) out of her head. And what’s wrong with enjoying life a little? At least she isn’t a full-on alcoholic. She’s a functioning one as in she drinks almost every day yet she still goes to work on time and functions there. If something like this would be happening with Vanessa’s friends she would tell them to forget that person and just try to move on. Also, it was just a fling but Vanessa jumped into it headfirst, falling so in lov- no, really starting to like Brooke. And at this point, it wasn’t that she missed Brookes kisses or Brooke’s touch. She missed the blonde girl who she could talk to about the most random things. She missed her in a friendly way. And the only way she stopped missing her was when she was drinking or fucking someone else.

As Vanessa got home from work she quickly changed her clothes and started doing makeup. When she was ready she knocked on Silkys door “Bitch you coming to the party or not?”, “Nope, I have some work stuff to deal with” Silky yelled back. So Vanessa went alone. She didn’t mind going alone, Vanjie actually preferred it because when she went out with Silky she felt like Silk was her babysitter. Keeping an eye on her every move. At home, while doing her makeup Vanessa had shot down half a bottle of wine so she was already in a good mood. And because she looked extra hot today she was sure she didn’t even have to pay for her drinks. And she was right. Vanessa went around flirted with people until she got her free drink and went onto the next one. She was talking with Anna flirting with her and being very handsy. “I think we get drink should another, hm?” Vanessa said to Anna. “I think you shouldn’t anymore” the girl gave her a slight smile. “Bullshit let’s go!” Vanessa said grabbing Anna’s hand and making her way to the bar. In the bar waiting for drinks stood a tall blonde girl. Vanessa stood next to the girl while still holding Annas hand. “Ex- excuse me,” Vanjie said and the blonde turned her head to look at Vanessa. “You look exactly like my ex,” Vanjie said smiling “well not ex, I’m not sure what to call her.” Vanjie kept talking as the blonde looked more and more confused. “I’m Vanessa,” she said giving her hand into blondies to shake “and that’s Emma,”, “Anna,”, “Yeah I meant Anna,” Vanessa smiled. “Hi Anna, I’m Brooke, the ex that I remind her of,” she said smiling at Anna and the looking back at Vanessa. Vanjie now let go of Annas hand and just looked at Brooke with her mouth open. Was she seriously so drunk that she didn’t recognize Brooke? She felt like she was going to throw up so she quickly exited the bar.

Duromine (15mg) - Introduction

Welcome To Everyone Reading This (My First) Blog! 

This is a little bit scary for me, but I’m sure everything will be a-okay. First off, this is a general weight loss blog! I’m only introducing with Duromine, as that is my kickstart (hopefully) to tackling the pesky thing we call fat. Anyway, I was researching weight loss journeys with Duromine, and I found thousands of forums where people would just state their opinion etc. But there was no straight out day to day log of the experience. I decided to create this blog of my journey to help me keep track, and to share my experience with you. So here is a just a little (who am I kidding), a bit of background information for everyone reading.

Sex: Female

Age: 20 Years Old

Height: 165 cm (5′4″)

Current Weight: 114.4 kg

Long-Term Goal Weight: 70 kg

So, let’s start where it all began. During high school, I was healthy. I looked perfectly fine, I felt perfectly fine. I weighed around 70kgs. Though at the time (like any other teenage girl) I thought I was fat, and now when I look back honestly I could slap myself across my face. I was fitting in size 12 (medium) clothes. I should’ve been happy with my size. Truth be told, the only way I got down to that weight was I stressed myself out that much. I was living in a place where I was not happy, my depression and anxiety took a massive hit. I was placed on my first anti-depressants a couple of months later. 

Flash forward about two years, I had a solid job at a local pizza shop (I had been there for about a year and a half). I met a guy, who I thought would eventually be something important to me, but turns out he was just using me, and thus began my emotional roller coaster. I moved out of my father’s place to a homeless shelter. I was in an mentally (emotionally) and verbally abusive “relationship”, or friendship whatever f**kface wants to call it. I was repeatedly having problems with my medication. I was finally perfect on Zoloft 100mg (for a bit), until I was rushed up to the ED because I wanted to kill myself after a fight I had with B (f**kface). The fight stemmed from me wanting to get my septum and belly pierced, can you believe it? I know, big laugh. 

Fast forward a month or so, I was still in this so called “relationship” with B, I was struggling with my mood swings, getting depressed very easily, had no self-identity. I was adamant I was living with Borderline Personality Disorder. I started seeing a psychologist (who was fucking fantastic btw, thanks Gayle), I had made plans finally to move out on my own. However, I started putting on weight, not a lot, but I noticed. I joined a gym, but obviously failed at that because of my apparent non-existent motivation to do anything. 

I moved out of the homeless shelter into my own place, and still was in this “relationship” with B (I know, jesus girl, you should’ve realised he was toxic). I started binge eating, a lot! I would smoke weed, and get the munchies really bad. Eat like three bowls of noodles, order pizza, anything. I had a problem. I was weighing in a solid 105 kg. I put on 35kg in a matter of 6 months. I was also eventually diagnosed with BPD, and was put on Latuda and Temazepam (I really struggled with my sleep).

Fast forward to today, and I moved in with my mum in Melbourne. Currently weighing 114 kg, which I’m very disappointed with. Plus side, I had finally stopped talking to B (I know, finally). I am starting to feel amazing again, apart from my weight. It had started affecting my self-esteem, seeing old photos of my perfect 70 kg figure, and looking at my flab in the mirror, comparing. So, my doctor prescribed me Duromine. Here’s hoping it works for me!

My goal in taking Duromine is to suppress my appetite to hopefully kick start my weight loss. I’ve heard about 10 kg plus weight loss in a month, so here’s hoping! But I would love to just honestly say that I weigh 70 kg again, be perfectly fine to step onto scales, and finally be able to fit into medium size clothing again. I will eventually sign up to gym, and everything like that but until then I will be telling you guys my progress with Duromine. I will be documenting side effects, what I’ve eaten, if I have exercised, daily weight, my thoughts and feelings.

Please feel free to request more information on anything, feedback is always the key! Wish me tons of luck, and I hope this blog will help people kick start their weight loss journey too!

nct china/116 as your bestfriend

request: Could you do what it would be like to be best friends with china line? It doesn’t matter which members, btw you’re gorgeous and your writing is as amazing as you!!

a/n: i’m gonna do a bulletpoint style for all of the members instead of picking one if that’s ok (excluding xiaojun, hendery, and yangyang bc we don’t have much information on them and i don’t really wanna assume their personalities) 

˗ˏˋ KUN ˎˊ˗

kun as your best friend would be such a mom/dad friend 

he’ll always make you authentic chinese food 

and you’ll never get tired of it bc he knows so many different recipes 

one day, he tried to teach you how to make sweet and sour pork 

and you ended up burning the meat 

but ofc, kun comes in to save the day and makes sweet and sour chicken instead 

he likes to bring you to the chinese market when he goes grocery shopping 

bc you always ask him what everything means or what it’s for

also kun is always the target of your teases 

as his best friend, it’s your duty to tease him with love 

and he just lets you bc he likes seeing you happy 

kun also likes to show you his magic tricks 

and laughs at your amazed face bc 

how tf did he make those glasses flip over w/out touching it??

kun enjoys showing you his piano skills too 

he likes to play you old chinese songs 

and sometimes kun would teach you how to play the piano 

you like to call kun ‘mom’ to see his reaction 

in which every time he whines and says to call him dad instead 

overall, kun just loves to teach you different things and make sure you’re well and have eaten (like a mom)

˗ˏˋ WINWIN ˎˊ˗

being best friends with sicheng means you babying him to death 

he’s pouting? 

better ask him what’s wrong

his stomach growls?

better make him some ramen

he wants ice cream?

better run your ass a mile to buy him some ice cream

but whenever sicheng wants something, you make him to aegyo for you 

and then you pinch his cheeks bc 

oOF HE’S SO CUTE 

sicheng is lowkey bipolar with skinship sometimes 

like one day, he’ll want to cuddle with you in bed and take a nap (you’re always the big spoon) 

but another day, he’ll block your cheek kisses and push away your hugs 

but that doesn’t stop you from hugging or kissing 

“just let me love you bitch”

you constantly compliment sicheng about how pretty he is and he always sassily replies ‘i know’

you fight with his other friends a lot (yuta and taeil) over who loves sicheng the most 

most of the time yuta wins but you’ve won a couple rounds too 

overall, sicheng as your best friend will be super cute and clingy but will demand food/ice cream like you’re his slave 

˗ˏˋ LUCAS ˎˊ˗

as your best friend, lucas would be a major flirt 

like he would do some cringey couples thing he’s seen in kdramas 

and you try so hard not to physically cringe

lucas is so fucking loud too

so it’s even more embarrassing 

after he’d say some stupid flirt, he would let out this gorilla laugh 

and you have to slap him about 50 times before he quiets down 

this is why you can never take him anywhere 

lucas would also try to give you guy advice too 

“ok so to get a mans, you have to be more bold and sexy” 

then he pulls this justin beiber face like it’s suppose to win hearts of women or something

the two of you collectively have 3 braincells

they all belong to you

but on the days when lucas isn’t being a crackhead 

he would be nice and cute and take you out for food 

lucas is the type of person who finished his food then points to yours and say 

“you gonna finish that?” 

and even tho you say yes, he still eats off of your plate 

overall, lucas as you bestfriend is a roller coaster of embarassment and loudness 

˗ˏˋ RENJUN ˎˊ˗

as renjun’s best friend, prepare for aggressiveness and roasts 

renjun is small so he uses words as a mechanism for defense 

whenever you would jokingly call him short (even tho he’s probably still taller than you) 

he would just pull you into a chokehold until you have to tap out 

when renjun isn’t pretending to be a WWE wrestler, he would actually be super soft and kind 

like he would give you drawings of you two together or just you alone

you keep all of his drawings in a binder and date them with little comments 

and whenever you need help on a project in school, he’s always the first to provide help

renjun also wrecks you in karaoke 

you get a score of 50 tops while renjun can’t even physically get below an 80

then renjun brags about it while dancing around 

when renjun would do something super cute, you’d poke his little left dimple 

jeno and jaemin are jealous of you bc renjun actually lets you hold his hand and hug him 

you always try your best to make him laugh bc he doesn’t usually laugh out loud 

but when he does, it’s just the cutest thing and you pull him into the tightest hug 

overall, renjun has two moods: john cena or moomin

˗ˏˋ CHENLE ˎˊ˗

with chenle as your best friend, you’ve become deaf

having hearing problems before you reach the age of 40? check

if you make a small simple joke, expect 30 minutes of just high pitched screeching from chenle 

“knock knock”

“who’s there”

“to”

“to who?

“it’s to whom”

*D O L P H I N  S C R E E C H  I N T E N S I F I E S*

chenle is the type of friend who makes you kill the spider/cockroach in the room

like if he sees one, cue the signature screech 

you’re also scared of it but chenle won’t shut up unless it’s dead so you just say fuck it and run in with a broom and windex

as a thank you and i’m sorry, chenle boils an egg for you 

bc that’s all he can make 

chenle always has so much energy 

so the two of you would just go to the park and run in circles for hours 

just cuz 

sometimes chenle spouts out random chinese phrases but doesn’t tell you what they mean 

overall, being chenle’s best friend means wearing earmuffs all the time

First review: YEEZUS by Kanye West

Going back to 2013, Music was a lot simpler.. Lana was making anthems for the tumblr sad girls :( dubstep was still a relevant thing, trends like Waka Flocka & Chief Keef we’re blasting off and setting the foundation for today’s SoundCloud dump into music. This was the first time Kanye went into MAGA mode, it’s his first solo album since dating Kim, he’s coming off of his universal acclaim from MBDTF and radio success with Mercy & Clique playing from the previous summer. He’s talking fashion stuff that the general population has no idea about, leaving Nike to find a better suitor and becoming a Dad. Keep in mind he hasn’t done any features/guest appearances or made beats for anyone in many years up to this point...

It starts off with a open handed slap to the face, forcing the “I miss the old Kanye” fans to turn it off after On Sight ends. The beat switch half way sounds like you took a hit of the hardest DMT and the high lasting 10 seconds then BAM you’re back to the sobriety. Black Skinhead is definitely an anthem that will get new or old Kanye fans with an ear worm, I Am A God has a monstrous beat from Daft Punk but definitely not a solid cut from Kanye who’s head is as big as ever with this song. The only promotion this album got was an SNL performance of the 2nd and 4th songs on the album, I have to say even though the bars and beat is above average, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a better piece of music or sampling than what comes on at the end of New Slaves. (Travi$ Scott produced much of the track too btw) We’re now halfway with the album and we’ve heard everything that you didn’t want to from a Kanye album but somehow, someway he puts it together to sound so damn aesthetically pleasing. Hold My Liquor definitely isn’t a way I would invision a Chief Keef/Young Chop collab but the minimal instrumental with electric guitar solo is a great way of doing the most while doing the least. I’m In It is one of the craziest roller coasters that’s called a piece of music you’ll ever hear, old heads are ripping their fitted caps now. I love the up and downs of the song, Assasin and Bon Iver pull together with great features and contributions and it features the first time drums are used on the album with some crispy snares that sound better every time, not to mention the dog bark sample throughout the chorus. Next is Blood On The Leaves and of course it’s everyone’s favorite song on the album next to Black Skinhead except mine. The drop is nice and TNGHT comes through with the production per usual, but I do feel it’s a little too long with the robotic crooning. Guilt Trip is a beautiful sample of The Eagles hit song, S1 definitely did a solid with the Watch The Throne scrap. (Yes, this song was originally for Watch The Throne and did have a Jay Z verse) the beat sounds like I can see a rainbow at night if that makes sense? Of course Cudi’s vocal solo is of genius.. Send It Up is a meh song, definitely sounds rushed and forced a collaboration with a Chicago rapper just because. The beat is hard and Louie’s verse is witty, bragging about “winning.” The final song Bound 2 sounds like a lazy sample but the synths thrown behind Charlie Wilson’s vocals sound so great, once the song ends and you realize the album is over it just leaves you there wanting more. 10 songs was the perfect length, not too much screaming and synths, just the right amount of artistry. This album isn’t to set any trends, (Though it has) it’s not meant for you to like it, it’s to show you everything Kanye can throw at you and still make it sound good. If you think Graduation was ahead of its time, this is what they listen to in the year 10,000
