Augusnippets Day 29

singing/first words/inside jokes

fandom: cabin tales (on a holy night AU) TW: starvation, mentioned cannibalism word count: 239 @augusnippets

With each day that followed Ida and Arthur returning to their real home, Ida questioned if she really did the right thing.

They arrived at the old, near ghostly town with little more than the clothes on their backs. The house was just as ramshackle as it had been when they left, the crops just as dead. Even worse, what few fellow townspeople remained after the dead con artist's rousing speech had little sympathy for cannibalistic traitors.

Ida had a starving son, crap soil, and no help.

Her only hope was what she saw on the journey home.

Life will find a way.

Ida was staring at her dwindling supply of cans when a familiar tug on her sleeve derailed her train of thought – still weak, yet stronger than it had been in months.

“Yes, honey?” Ida sighed. Her eyes went wide as she looked at her son. Her smiling son.

He practically dragged Ida to the back yard, moving surprisingly quick for someone who was barely more than skin and bones.

His excitement made perfect sense once Ida looked over what had once been their garden.

New sprouts had not only poked out of the dirt they grabbed from the forest, but thrived. Many had full leaves, others had stocks quickly filling out. Ida's jaw almost dropped at the sight.

It really dropped when a quiet, raspy, sorely missed voice whispered beside her.

“They're growing,” Arthur said.

[disorganizedkitten]

Yes hi hello, I'd love to hear ur thoughts on the al ghul children

Hi yes hello I'd love to talk about them

I am so weak to assassin children you have no idea so anyway

The Al Ghul Children. Are so freaking TRAGIC and I can never get over them

So you have the baby generation which is Mara and Damian and Athantasia; then the original generation, which is Dusan, Nyssa, and Talia.

Attie straight up doesn't exist in most media but in the game(?) where she does she's Damian baby sister who was kept a secret until he couldn't go back to being with the bats. I think about her all the time. What did she know about Damian growing up? Did she ever want to meet him? How many times did she sit in the middle of the night and wish for her brother to do something unforgivable so he could come back? Or was she glad he was gone? The league canonically pits their kids against each other, did she grow up resenting him? Or, even if she liked the idea of him, did she resent him anyway for being the child who went to Bruce? Did she take up Damian's place in the duels with Mara?

Athantasia isn't used nearly enough for her potential she is blorbo-shaped.

And then Damian! Itty bitty baby boy with a sword and issues. I think so much about how he's naturally soft but he can't be because of circumstance. How many quiet moments were lost to blood, how long did it take for him to learn what a genuine human connection felt like? What if he never did? I've been around humans I love since I was born, and I still sometimes feel absolutely disconnected from them. How much superiority is covering for insecurity? We've seen him make friends, Maps, Colin, Jon, as the three I actually care about, and he likes them. Did he make friends in the league? What happened to them? Or did he just, for lack of a better word, imprint, on other assassins?

In a complete other fandom I'm propagating biting as a love language and Damian has that vibe too.

and MARA

Holy fudge Mara also sends me; being constantly raised not only as a weapon, but being told you're the second best weapon and that maybe you can gain more prestige if you beat your cousin in a deadly duel, except even if you do win you know you will never get the recognition you're trying for because his mother is favored and your father isn't

Were she and Damian ever close, or as close as they could get? Did they plan how to lead the league when they weren't trying to take each others' eyes out, did she ever meet Attie, did she take her anger on Damian out on Attie, is the red streak something she does to hide a lazarus streak or is it natural from her dad? Can she see out of her other eye? Where did she see herself in the league before Damian deserted? Is she close to her teammates in the fist or are they just the prettiest canon fodder Ra's could send?

Is there a part of her that is as relieved to be hunting Damian down as it is angry, because at least fighting him is familiar?

The older three also make me Feel Things but not as much as the kiddos.

Nyssa apparently survived the holocaust? And then Ra's murdered her kids and then repeatedly killed her and dropped her into the pits for... something? I don't remember if I ever learned why that happened, but it did and it's so horrid? Drove her to insanity, surprise surprise. I recommend Misericordia and it's sequel on ao3 if you want to cry over Steph, Damian, Talia, and Nyssa. And then the Nyssa Al Ghul & Tim Drake Tag, if you're feeling adventurous. I don't even know the NAMES of Nyssa's kids and that makes me incredibly sad.

Would they have gotten along with the other three? Would they have taken them and ran? Or would they train them, keeping their bloodline strong, and just quietly know that these are their cousins and they're so proud?

And Talia gets rewritten every other writer but there are so many options when characterizing her and they're so much fun. But also everyone else deals with her so jumping to the next one. I think Talia is also the youngest? Don't quote me on that

Anyway last al ghul I think too much about is Dusan. I can't remember if he's the oldest or the middle child but despite being Ra's' male heir he straight up got sent away because he has albinism? And then he fought his way back into his father's ranks under an alias? He went so far for approval and he's still overlooked, and his kid is considered second rate, even though he's personally considered to be terrifying?

How long did it take him to come back? Why didn't he stay away? Does he ever regret it, now that he's back in the league?

i just. There are lots. and lots. of thoughts about them. And I'm sure there are more al ghuls hiding somewhere for me to lose my everloving mind over but I haven't met them yet

the inherent hate of someone who has everything you think you want battling with the inherent love for someone who has gone through the same horrors you have

[im-immortal]

yikes, ok, SO

i would first and foremost like to thank you with complete sincerity for RUINING my week. istg i started in for a penny, in for a pound on like, FRIDAY, and demolished all 480k words like a dumpster-diving raccoon on garbage night.

let me tell you, when i finished thirsty and realized that the next installment wasn't a sequel, i almost threw up. that being said, every gd word of hot girl summer made the whole thing so much more fun and painful and horrible and amazing, sooo... who am i to complain?

ik it's been about a month since you updated—and a few scattered author's notes might suggest i could have to wait even longer—but i want u to know that i will be screaming, crying, throwing up while waiting for your next chapter😭(no rush tho 👀)

anyway, desperation aside, i noticed you use songs as inspiration a lot and i figured i'd share a few that have been running through my mind since i started reading:

-Alone- Heart (ik u got a thing for those 80s jams so LISTEN OK it's so them "til now, i always got by on my own/ i never really cared until i met you/ and now it chills me to the bone/ how do i get you alone?" pls i swear bethyl has ruined so many songs for me but ESPECIALLY this one, i mean come onnn)

-Wildest Dreams- Taylor Swift (don't lie to me, maybe daryl isn't a swiftie but i can tell you might be, on the DL. the whole chorus is so this fic, what with the romance they know has to end, desperately creating memories so the other won't forget them. and tell me this line—"someday when you leave me/ i bet these memories/ follow you around"—isn't SO bethyl. like, do the words "you're gonna miss me so bad when i'm gone, daryl dixon" mean anything to u??

anyways, that about sums it up. sorry for the massive ask, except not really because i need to let this all out somewhere, and seeing how it's all ur fault...

LMAO hope all is well and happy writing booface xoxo 😘

Well hot damn. I’m not gonna lie, I panicked for a second when I read the first line of this ask, and then it made me smile like a crazy person 😂

I deeply apologize for ruining your week (kinda) and also HOLY HELL, you read all that in a weekend??? Are you okay????

I actually am genuinely sorry HGS wasn’t a direct sequel, but I’m glad you’re still enjoying it 😅 as far as an update goes, I have like half of the next chapter written, but I’ve been having some health issues this month that put me into a bit of a mental slump. It won’t be much longer before I continue tho.

Omg thank you for the song recs!!! Yes, I am a slut for the 80s songs (they give me so many vibes for this series), and yes, you are correct about me being a low key Swiftie (cruel summer has become like my anthem for the whole ifap series, can’t wait for you to see where it ends up being included.)

This ask made my whole day so thank you thank you thank you!!!! 🥰💞

(ps: “booface”? I see what you did there 👀😂😂)

[alfredolover119]

I looooove your zukka rec lists! I recently became Avatar-obsessed, never got a chance to watch it as a kid and only just got through it all! I was wondering if you'd consider doing a specifically angst rec list? I love fluffy zukka everything, but sometimes you just gotta have your heart ripped out of your chest and put back in after being thoroughly blended.

thank you! i relate heavily to “recently became Avatar-obsessed” haha. as for the angst list, i sure can try! warning: all of these have happy endings because im a crybaby who can’t read unhappy endings. also, p much all of the fics in the completed section were featured on my other lists but this is specifically the ANGSTY ones >:^)

-the amnesia fic. the amnesia fic. the amnesia fic. you know. i haven’t actually read it yet because, as previously mentioned, i’m a crybaby and am waiting for it to finish up but, from my understanding, this fic will murder you in a dark alleyway with no remorse. if u like zukka angst, you’ve probably already read this, but just in case!

An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage. // But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.

Yeah, nah.

It’s supposed to be a one night stand. Pick up some guy at a bar, barely remember his name and never learn anything real about him, send him packing in the morning with a thanks for the ride and a cup of coffee to-go. That’s how it’s supposed to go. // But then it’s the best sex Sokka has ever had, and he thinks he’ll hate himself if he never gets to have it again.

Having sided with the Avatar in Ba Sing Se, Zuko not only must navigate his new relationship with Sokka but returning to the Fire Nation as a banished enemy. His own journey of self discovery and personal growth must now coexist alongside the personal struggles of every other member of the Gaang as together they blaze a treacherous path toward an unsure victory against Zuko's own father and nation.

-swt ambassador zuko! soon to be chief sokka! fake dating ur best friend to get out of an arranged marriage! what could go wrong!!! i also haven’t read this one ((see: i’m a crybaby who is being hurt by too many zukka wips already)), but it has been hanging out in my marked for later for months. from what i understand, this fic has: angst.

With his twenty-first birthday looming just around the corner, the Southern Water Tribe Elders have decided that Sokka, next in line to be Chief, needs to get married. Sokka does not want that, but he does need to get them off his back until he can figure his way out of it. What better way to do that than to pretend to date his best friend (and newly minted Ambassador to the Southern Water Tribe) Zuko? // Seriously, this is a foolproof plan. Maybe one of Sokka's best. Absolutely nothing can go wrong.

-a modern college au!! zuko’s inner-monologue is very angsty in this fic. typical zuko. also per usual, theyre both fucking dorks. they sort themselves out in the end, but not before The Angst. zuko is semi-deaf in this fic and also he has a bit of internalized homophobia.

Sokka’s breathtakingly beautiful and he’s smart and makes other people laugh. Zuko has a half-burnt face and a deaf ear. It’s not rocket science. // Or, Zuko falls in love with the boy in his Philosophy class.

-moon spirit/nwt prince!sokka, no war to be found here! admittedly this isnt THAT angsty but like. the angst IS present. zuko is still the prince. a lovely childhood friends (though they hated each other for a minute haha) to lovers story. 

If you asked Zuko, he and Azula saw far too much of Chief Hakoda of the Northern Water Tribe’s children growing up. It wasn’t until they were older, and Azula pointed out that - duh - their families were trying to set them all up, that he realized why. // He was told by his mother to be polite. These people were their friends and allies, and though their nations were as different as they came, harmony between nations was the most important thing. // It wasn’t his fault the Chief’s children were so annoying.

-modern au! zuko and sokka are college roommates. zuko goes to spend the summer with sokka. again,, not really that angsty but-- its there!! the detail and feeling of Home in this story make me happy. zuko is insecure as hell here too. if ur into that. 

Zuko hates his home. He likes college alright, but he likes Sokka even better, his assigned roommate turned best friend. Spending the summer with Sokka will be fun, a welcome change of pace he desperately wants. It probably won't awaken anything in him... right?

-yes. this one right here officer. it makes my heart ache. also trans sokka! which is cool. but the zuko angst in this one. hurts me. not so much relationship angst as it is zuko learning he deserves happiness angst. i’m sure u know The Type.

The first time a attendant spills Zuko’s tea and doesn’t immediately fall to her knees, begging the Fire Lord’s forgiveness, it is not anger but a resounding warmth that fills his chest.

Zuko almost said it. He almost said the words I think I’m in love with you, but he choked them back down at the last second. // Zuko would never be able to be what Sokka wanted. They might have needed each other during the summer, when two boys with too much weight on their shoulders found comfort in each other in the only way they knew how. // But now Zuko was Fire Lord, and Sokka was leaving.

-so. when i read this the first time it was in one sitting. soulmate au set within canon era / the comics, to an extent. soulmates can hear each others thoughts. i will happily say this is slowburn, jesus christ. champagne without the cham. 

Soulmates are chosen by the spirits and can hear each other’s thoughts. Sokka thinks it’s cheesy and dumb. Zuko thinks it’s poetic justice that he doesn’t have one because he doesn’t deserve it. Cruel irony is finding out that the prince of the Fire Nation (and the person currently hunting you) is your soulmate.

As the newly appointed cultural liaison to Northern Water Tribe, Zuko is the first Fire Nation Citizen to step foot inside the city's walls in nearly a century. He's determined to prove himself—to the Fire Lord and to his father—even if the Water Tribe's spirit-touched prince seems to want nothing to do with him.

-now now now. tms... modern college au where sokka agrees to tutor zuko in physics because zuko has to maintain straight a’s and physics is just not doing it for him. so. thats cool but THEN azula moves in, randomly, with zuko. to hide the fact that sokka is tutoring zuko, they fake date! what could go wrong!! the mutual pining in here combined with the angst... wonderful, tasty. everyone read it rn. also SLOWBURN 

In Zuko’s strict family, needing a tutor is just about the worst thing you could do. Failing a class, however, is even worse. The only rational solution? Take up Aang on his offer to find him a physics tutor and have Sokka—beautiful, smart, handsome Sokka—tutor him in secret. // When Azula’s arrival threatens to reveal Zuko’s secret, it’s up to Sokka to convince her this definitely isn’t what it looks like. See, he’s actually… Zuko’s… boyfriend? // Hmm. There’s no way this could get complicated, right?

♡

dinner was so fucking boring, you wanted to scream.

it wasn't very often that your dad, step mom, step brother and you were all home - or even tolerant enough - to gather around the dining room table and make small talk over a meal for an hour, but tonight was one of those rare occurrences.

after the hot tub a few nights ago, you and eddie had been so busy that you hadn't been able to see each other at all.

plus, he’d had his friends over all day today though and he had smirked when he'd told you they were going to use the hot tub. 

and it was excruciating enough to see him walking around, shirtless and smiling with all of his friends, but to see the knowing smirk and the glint in his eye as he mentioned the hot tub was downright torture.

so while he was out there, you'd taken one of his shirts from his room and now you were parading around in it with some shorts to see if it bothered him. childish, sure. you didn't really care, though.

now, your fingers trace the embroidered flowers on the tablecloth as sonia barks on about something extremely unimportant and excruciatingly boring as you try not to roll your eyes. you lull your head to the side and catch eddie's eye from where he's sat right next to you. you lift a brow and shoot a small gesture with your head toward his mother and eddie shakes his head with a smile, rolling his eyes discreetly at you.

his hair is more wavy than usual today - and he's wearing a soft orange shirt and he's tan from being in the sun all day. you watch his adam's apple bobs when he swallows and his eyelashes flutter when he blinks. 

you sigh as you watch him, wondering how your step brother could look so innocent and yet... be so not.

as the background noise of your step mother resonates through the dining room, you decide to have a little fun. slowly, you test the waters by watching your everyone's faces as you slip your hand under the table, letting it rest on the bench in the space between you and eddie. 

nobody bats an eye, and you thank god your psychotic step mother decided to buy those ugly wooden benches for the sides of the dining table because eddie is sitting very close to you.

you keep the growing smirk off your face as you slowly slip your hand onto eddie's thigh rubbing as discreetly as possible. out of your peripherals you see eddie look down at your hand and slowly turn his head to stare daggers into the side of your face as your hand slowly makes its way up.

"what are you fucking doing?" eddie hisses quietly under his breath, shooting you an incredulous stare. you smile at him innocently, slowly rubbing his thigh under the table. he's bright red but he stares ahead as sonia addresses him, telling him about a prescription that he has to pick up in the morning.

you watch him, balancing your chin on your other hand as you continue touching him. "-and ma, you know i can drive, i literally bought a car last y-" he cuts off, choking on his words as you slip your hand over his crotch, fingers dancing over his cock under the fabric of his pants.

his breath catches in his mouth and he shoots you a deadly glare, eyes huge. "are you okay, edward?" your dad asks, making you snort into your hand and eddie hold back an eye roll. "uh, i - just, uh, that i can drive there, ma. i don't have to walk." he sputters out, looking frustrated.

"eddie bear, what's wrong?" his mom asks, this time making you roll your eyes. "nothing." eddie snaps, hand reaching down to grab your hand and freeze your movements. he's intently avoiding eye contact with you.

you're shocked but also not at all surprised that sonia hasn't noticed your hand sitting firmly on her son's lap. you're not at all surprised that your father hasn't because he hasn't fully looked at anyone at all, instead focusing on the article he was reading.

sonia moves on fairly quickly though, starting a conversation with your father instead, which gives you a little time to collect yourself as you notice eddie's not pulling your hand off of him.

instead, he's slowly moving your hand against him as he nods along to the conversation. holy shit.

you think you might combust, especially when your dad asks you a question and you jump, pulling your hand up to rest on the table out of fear of being caught. you hear eddie chuckling quietly next to you and you kick him in the shin as you ask your father to repeat himself.

you kept your hands to yourself for the rest of dinner and your dad retired to his study, sonia going to their bedroom. you were finishing up doing the dishes, bent over to put away a mixing bowl in a bottom cabinet when you hear eddie walk into the kitchen. he doesn't say anything, so you turn your head to look up at him. his eyes snap quickly up to yours and his lips twitch as if he's half cocky and half embarrassed.

"like what you see?" you ask, wiggling your hips, still on your hands and knees. eddie scowls at you, though his lips display a small smile.  his hair slightly disheveled as he runs a hand through it and stalks towards you, causing you to stand up.

"what is wrong with you?" he asks exasperatedly, shooting you a glare that has no heat behind it. you grin, looking quickly to the kitchen door to make sure nobody was around before you lean up, attempting to brush your lips against his.

his hands fall on your waist and hold you in place as he gives you a narrow look, leaning his head back. you fake pout again and he narrows his eyes even more as his eyes rake over your body. "we shouldn't." he mumbles, eyes on your lips. you nod, biting your lip. "you're right." you say, looking at him. you want to, though. really bad. "but you started it earlier." you mumble, smirking lightly.

he scoffs, his lips almost pressed fully against yours. "i don't know what you're talking about. you're dangerous. its a bad idea." he mutters, his lips moving against you as he speaks. you laugh slightly, loving how close the two of you are in this moment. "yeah, maybe. but... i want to feel you again. like last time." you whisper, thinking back to the hot tub. he huffs a small laugh, his breath on your lips. "i'm sure you do, y/n/n." he mutters. you shiver for some reason but you don't get a moment to respond because eddie's pushing his lips against yours heatedly, taking you by surprise.

you lay your hands on his chest, heart thumping as you realize that the two of you could be caught at any moment. his lips move against yours deftly and you sigh into his mouth, desperate for him. "we-we need to go upstairs or something." eddie whispers as he pulls away and you nod, grinning as you pull him by the hand towards the stairs. you look back quickly to see him shaking his head but following you eagerly.

your lips were back on his as soon as your door shut, making his groan slightly at the force of your body on his. he stumbles and the two of you land on your bed, making you chuckle. his hand slides down your back as he sits up, your knees straddling him. "shut up." he says, kissing you again to mask his red cheeks.

his hands find your hips and he experimentally drag your hips slightly against his, causing you and him to let out quiet moans. "shit." he says quietly, eyes shut. your hands wind into his hair, tugging as you move your hips against his again. you feel his lips against your neck and you gasp, feeling instantly needly.

"you need to stop stealing my shirts." he mutters, mouthing against your neck. you chuckle, grinding slowly in his lap as you look down at him, grinning at him as he looks up at you. "why's that, eddie?" you whisper. he rolls his eyes, hands slipping down to squeeze your ass and pull you closer to him. "because i fucking n-" he moans, interrupting his own words. you smirk as you grind against him, moaning quietly to yourself. "i need them because they're mine, y/n." he spits. you smile, leaning close to his lips. "i think it just turns you on." you whisper onto his lips before pressing them together. his hands squeeze your ass and you buck your hips into his, feeling his cock strain below you.

"fuck- please, y/n." eddie mutters, his hands pulling your hips against him. you smirk down at him, tilting your head. "what do you want, eddie?" you ask innocently. he huffs in annoyance, his fingers slipping to rub you through your shorts. you whimper at the feeling of his fingers rubbing your clothed clit and he breathes out, "let me fuck you, please."

you desperately undo his belt and pull his pants off, biting your lips as you look at him. he's breathing heavily, eyes lidded with lust and you trace your fingers below you around the outline of his cock. he moans quietly, his fingers going to your waistband to pull your shorts and underwear down.

you quickly get off of his lap, shimmying out of your shorts and underwear as he watches with wide eyes. you grip the hem of his shirt and lift it off of him then slide off his boxers, licking your lips as his cock hits his stomach.

you slide back into his lap, lifting yourself onto your knees to grip his base and pump him a few times. he groans, his hands stabling himself on your bed. you look at him and pull off the shirt that hung on your torso, tossing it behind you. eddie exhales as he stares at you, naked in his lap. his head leans forward, a small groan leaving your lips as his mouth attaches to one of your nipples.

you tease his tip on your slit, eager to feel him inside of you. "fuck." you hiss, trying to stay quiet in case anybody hears the two of you. he pulls his lips off of your chest, looking at you as you slide on him slowly, taking him in inch by inch and gasping. he moans once he's buried to the hilt and your head falls to his shoulder.

"please move." he mutters, one hand palming your breast and the other on your hip. you moan in pleasure as you start to move slowly, feeling him fill you up. he groans and his mouth atatches to your other breast, tongue swirling around your nipple. you start to suck on his neck, leaving small fluttering kisses to distract yourself from the pleasure that makes you want to scream. you can't get caught.

you're in so much pleasure because he's so hot and this is so wrong and it feel so good that your legs stutter and get tired. "let me." eddie states, looking at you as he gently pulls you off of him, nudging you to lay down. your eyes widen as he climbs in between your legs, lining himself up at your entrance. a door slams downstairs and you gasp in shock as eddie pushes into you, immediately thrusting in order to chase his nearing high. he hits a deeper spot inside of him and you mutter, "holy shit, eddie, that feels so good."

he groans into your neck, thrusting into you as his hands rest on your hips. you can help the whimpering that leaves your mouth and eddie kisses you quickly, effectively ceasing your noises as he thrusts into you. "we have to be quiet." he whispers, pulling back to watch you below him as he thrusts into you. his eyebrows are drawn together and he looks like he's about to cum, so you grab his hand and pull it down to your clit. he immediately starts to rub figure eights on you as he hits a spot deep inside you.

"i'm c-close." he mutters and you nod, moving your hips against his as the familiar pull starts lulling you. "me too." you whine, moving your hips quicker. after a couple more thrusts, you're clenching around eddie as he cums, moaning quietly into your shoulder, you cum right after, covering your mouth with your own hand.

you ride out your highs together, bodies shuddering with pleasure as you finish together.

he slowly stops and pulls out of you, sighing as he flops next to you on the mattress. you suck air into your lungs, feeling totally exhausted and fulfilled as you laugh lightly. eddie huffs from next to you.

you sit up next to him, bending over to grab and pull on the shirt eddie was previously wearing. "see, now i'm giving you back the shirt i borrowed earlier." you say, winking at him as he rolls his eyes. "fuck off." he mutters. your finger runs aimlessly down his bare chest as he looks over to the clock on your desk, seemingly in thought. he looks like he wants to tell you something and youre about to ask until a knock sounds, making you both jump. 

"eddie bear? are you in there?" sonia calls from right outside of your door. 

your blood freezes and eddie's head snaps towards you, eyes wide with fear. "y-yeah, ma, one second!"

I was wondering who’s else would be sharing the apartment with Kyoutani. What made you choose tattoo artist Iwa & Oikawa? Those two made me chuckle with the way they came in like that. Hope you have a great day/evening/late night/etc.

✌🏼&💜

—sora—

aaah thank you so so much, baby!! I truly appreciate your sweet words, youre the cutest! regarding your question: You shares an apartment with Iwa, Oikawa and Yahaba (who also works at the tattoo studio!) and i don't know to be really honest- I just like the thought of these three being really good friends so after contemplating whether or not to go with iwaoi or matsuhana, I ended up going with those two dorks! hope you have a good one baby mwah!!

Some Star Wars thoughts, in no particular order

Preface: I really liked this movie. Spoilers below, obviously, but not many more than what was already leaked. I try to keep stuff vague, so if you like... know a couple of big things that are being talked about (way too much for some reason honestly oh my god) and are trying to decide if you want to see the movie, this should be safe!

Okay first, to get it out of the way... some complaints

Finn should have had more screen time, as usual. I do like was done with him in general, but there should have been more of it, and his biggest hero moment unfortunately felt a little underwhelming. I’m also pretty uncomfortable/disappointed with how he seemed to be portrayed as having like this one-sided thing for Rey that was even framed comedically at times. That being said they end the second to last scene and strongest emotional beat on him and it was very good (and tbh the scene that followed felt more like a stinger to me, as far as I’m concerned the movie closes on Finn finding a family, and a happy ending, and I love that)

The whole thing was jammed with at least a movie and a half’s worth of plot. *looks at tlj* no idea how that could have happened. I think it does a good job with what it has to work with, and tight writing + good set up and payoff make it work most of the time, but... room to process their feelings, characters have not.

The kiss was stupid. It also, imo, was entirely fanservice and if you removed like two shots and replaced them with something platonic GIVE US THE FOREHEAD TOUCH TAKE I KNOW IT EXISTS then I think that Rey and Kylo’s interactions were very well done. It’s not romantic unless you are already looking for it to be romantic. Except for the kiss. Which was stupid and sudden and out of place.

Okay anyway I am gonna gush now

So first of all I just think the plot and pacing of this movie was really well executed. It wasn’t the most exciting or daring of plots, but also it didn’t need to be. The rule of three set up and payoff was outstanding though, and that’s really what carries it. A lot of the time it’s easy to see that payoff coming, or at least see that it is coming, but it mostly feels like being a bit spoiled for a really good story - even if you have a good idea where it’s going you can still really enjoy the journey. And you probably don’t know exactly where it’s going, anyways.

my favorite example of this is something they set up really early about Rey and Kylo’s force bond, and a thing it can do. 

This first time it happens is a super fast “woah holy shit that can happen???” moment.

The second time its a “oh. oh no. it can happen and has happened in the worst possible way”

and the last time is “OH! OH!!! ITS GONNA HAPPEN ITS HAPPENING OH MY GOD.”

The THEMES. Holy shit the themes. This movie 100% sold me on Kylo redemption, as someone who was VERY uh... lets say I was very unimpressed by the idea of it going into things. And I’ll talk more about why I think “redemption” isn’t even exactly the right word, but for now yeah I’ll just say I really liked what they did with Kylo.

BUT ANYWAY THEMES. OKAY. I think it is so so vital and good to have a story so devoted to Doing The Right Thing. But not just doing the right thing. I think the absolute heart of the movie is just... no matter what you’ve done, no matter the mistakes you’ve made, choosing to do the right thing matters. It always matters.

Like okay I really think there’s a shift in how this movie deals with ye olde dark side compared to the first two, bc it’s very personal, and feels very grounded in trauma and fear and a phrase Liz said last night that I loved which is, “the seductive pull of despair.”

If I had to write is as a thesis statement I’d absolutely use that phrase, it would be something like...

“There is never a moment in which it is too late -- generationally, individually, or globally -- to resist the seductive pull of despair.”

But also like the other thesis is just “every good thing you do matters.” Which is probably one of my favorite power fantasies in the whole world.

Like there’s a group of people established at the midpoint of the film, who are just like, People Who Did The Right Thing. And they have been living ever since then taking care of each other, trying to unlearn the way they were raised, trying to resist despair in their own corner of the galaxy.

And like, in some ways it would be cool to just have them there! A nice story, a nice group of people, a nice expansion in the world of Star Wars. But that’s NOT where it leaves them, and very specifically there’s a moment in the final big confrontation where the big nasty man is like “do a thing! stop them!” and it doesn’t work specifically bc of an aspect of these people and the life they’ve built makes it not work. It’s funny and satisfying and a wonderful emotional payoff all at once.

And basically this is why the Kylo stuff works for me. Because it’s really not about him, it’s about Rey and Leia. It’s about Rey and Leia choosing to do good, and how that matters. If Kylo had stayed a shitty evil brat until the end, then their stories wouldn’t have been as powerful.

Kylo “I’m only here to reinforce themes” Ren

Okay but to touch a bit more on redemption, I really don’t think he’s redeemed. Or like, he’s not redeemed because it’s not about balancing anything out, or him going down in history as a Good Man, or other characters forgiving him. It’s about him spending the whole movie saying “you can’t go back Rey, once you do something bad you are bad and you can’t go back home.”

And they Rey does something bad

She does something bad and IMMEDIATELY LOSES HER CHANCE TO MAKE IT BETTER WITH THE PERSON MOST HURT BY HER ACTION

And then she does something good anyway

Because you can always do something good, and you can always go back. Even if you hurt someone you love. Even if you become, for a moment, what you are most afraid of. Even if you can’t unmake your mistakes. You can still do good. You can still make the world better.

And that is why he chooses to change. And that is a good reason to change. To see someone demonstrate that there is always room for kindness? To see that and find a hope you had lost years ago? That’s good shit! That’s what Star Wars is about babey!

Also the banter was back and good and the Trio Content oh my god. Thank you. Finally.

New droid is baby and I love them.

The new lady characters are obviously underdeveloped but I DO love them. There’s a moment at the end of the movie that makes me really hope that one of them gets a spin-off/sequel, and there is ample room for a standalone Poe prequel featuring the other one. I think they have pretty strong characterizations for the space they get.

also one of them gets an extremely good moment with Rey that killed me. Like don’t get ur hopes up for any actual content or conversation but it was one of those “oh I REALLY hope there’s fanfic” moments and I loved it.

I love Rey [redacted] and I will have to write a whole other post about her maybe.

I thought Poe’s arc was cool! It wasn’t what I was expecting but I thought it was interesting and I’m always down for some “ur friends are here for you, you don’t have to and also literally can’t do everything on ur own.

That’s another theme of the film btw and its good

Most of the action scenes were just kinda “eh okay this is a Star Wars movie I guess they gotta do that now. Like fun and flashy but overall without much substance.

BUT I really liked the second lightsaber fight with Rey and Kylo. Good way to mix it up.

Leia...........

Leia good

You are not your blood! You are the family you choose. Thank u and also finally.

I really liked how this movie handled the Sith and the lore/perspective it added honestly makes a lot of Sith stuff in general make more sense to me. It’s one of those cool bits of lore that isn’t exactly a retcon but it is retroactive context that shows everything in different light. Or like maybe that’s always been the context but I think it’s more clear and upfront about it. 

I cried at one part bc there were lots of different ship designs all on screen at the same time and it was like.... wow... star war.... star war good.

star war good

hiiiii friends! your pal is back with some fics she thinks you should 23948514% give a chance!!!

If you give any of these a read (and even if you don't, but you still read on ao3), please remember to leave kudos and comments on fics you read!! They're actions that take .5 seconds and they mean loads to the authors :)

You Holy Fool by chasingxrabbits

Liam is a good kid, on the right path until he finds something wicked making a home in his church. (A slightly religious AU where Liam has a moral dilemma and Louis is falling head over heals for the curly headed sophomore.)

Unfathomable Distances  by chasingxrabbits 

A Skyrim AU where Liam is the reigning prince of Falkreath hold. Zayn is one of the palace guards. When Liam's best friend and Thane to the hold, Louis, contracts a mysterious illness, Liam is left with a choice. Does he leave Falkreath City in search for a cure, and who could (or would) ever accompany him on such a tumultuous journey?

Can't Help Falling in Love With You by eternallyunleashed 

In the 18 years he's been alive Zayn has learnt to deal with the insane amounts of anxiety and stress that life threw his way. It was always easy to stay back and pretend he was invisible. After agreeing to Harry's idea of an internship he realizes all his hopes of maintaining a quiet simple life as he works towards Med-school get tossed out the window. Liam Payne enters his life. Zayn can't put a name to all the whirlwind of emotions that threaten to rip his body apart by just being near Liam, but he is certain of one thing. The mere thought or sight of Liam makes him lose the ability to breathe.

For Liam his goal is pretty simple. Ever since he laid eyes on Zayn, who looks like sin in human form with eyes that threaten to rip a man's heart out, he knew he had to have the boy. He needs him more than he's wanted anything in his entire life. Otherwise his red hot desire for the boy might just take him to his death.

The author also has drabbles that are super cute and fluffy so when the fic gets real angsty (which it does, bud), you can just read the drabbles to ease heartache, ya feel?

Intoxicate Me, Mesmerize Me, Obliterate Me by eternallyunleashed (WIP)

There was a certain heat obtained from rebellion that even the actual throes of heat never sparked. Keeping up an image of perfection; being the good kid, the perfect son to the Mayor and Chief of Police, the city of Lincoln’s sweetheart omega, it was all taxing to Zayn. Walking the thin line of danger was exhilarating. Was it coincidental that this danger happened to be an attraction to a certain alpha who was none other than the leader of the South Side Vipers gang, who seemed to despise him and the part of town he came from? Probably not. But when had anything ever stopped Zayn?

Tangled Up in You by marcel

It turns out Zayn’s flatmate is essentially a disney prince. Zayn wonders how this became his life.

Never Be Alone by sunnysideup (WIP)

Liam and Zayn have been undercover police officers for several years, and they've got out of messes, serious messes, before.

Except that was together, now they're in a mess again but this time they're apart and Zayn has to find a way to save Liam who knows that even as Zayn tries, his own fate is sealed.

Or is it?

Baby all I need is Time by sunnysideup

Liam's just your average, too average, 13 year old who wants something better, but mainly to be 30.

Then it happens, overnight and things are as complicated as you can imagine.

Push by sunnysideup

They're playing in Sheffield during the TMH tour when suddenly OT5 get body-swapped for some reason and it's a scramble to find out who's who before they go onstage....this is what happens...

So Take me To the Paradise in Your Eyes by deniallisstrong (WIP)

hey, what’s up? he tries. No, too simple for being a number he stole off of a textbook.

i think fate meant to bring us together ;) No. That one, on the other hand, is way too much. Shaking his head to clear out all of his other terrible ideas, he tries one last time. hey, i think u forgot to clear out ur old textbook haha. cuz ur number was still in there. my friend said i should text it, so... hi lol

(Or, where Liam finds Zayn’s number in his textbook, and Louis prods him until he texts it. Things go downhill from there) [A Fetus Uni AU]

Snapshots by lazydaisy

Niall, Harry, Louis, Zayn, and Liam are graduating high school and are looking back on the past fondly. Zayn is valedictorian and writes a secret speech that he won't even let his boyfriend Liam read before the big day. Love, friendship, and dreams are heavy in the budding summer air.

Mind over Matter by lazydaisy

Liam accidentally tells his mom that he and Zayn are dating, and she demands a visit. Zayn goes along with it. 

Falling in Love With a Stranger by livingforamiracle

Zayn's having a terrible day, but one beautiful and caring stranger somehow changes it all around, turning it into one of the best days of Zayn's life.

It’s Always Been You by livingforamiracle

An AU where Liam consistently goes on bad dates only to realize that his favorite dates are the ones where he's holed up in his flat with his best friend Zayn.

Longing to Belong (to You) by Pluie13

“Awww, aren't you two domestic?” Louis mocks, while Liam is brutally brought back to reality. Oh, yeah, right, Zayn doesn't like him like that.

A Full Course Meal by LibbyWrites

Liam had been dreaming about having his own restaurant for a few years. Money was always an issue, though, so when he heard the Food Network was recording a few episodes of Chopped in his city, he let his best friend talk him into participating.

Many things could go wrong along the way; from ruthless rivals to impossible ingredients, from unforgiving judges to his own mind getting in the way. He spent long nights fretting about the possibilities and still, he never could have guessed what Chopped really had in store for him.

The Only One Who Takes You Home by ziamruinedmylife

“Maybe we should make this a weekly thing,” Zayn suggests softly, pressing the words into Liam’s hair. “… the lunch or the sex?” Liam isn’t opposed to either. “Both,” Zayn decides, pressing a kiss to Liam’s forehead. “ ‘s that alright with you?” Liam pauses, tapping a finger under his chin, pretending to think deeply before sighing. “I guess I can pencil you into my very busy schedule.” “Thank you for your sacrifice, baby,” Zayn mocks, and Liam laughs. “Anything for you,” and it’s truer than Liam would like to admit. He really would do just about anything for the older man, and it should terrify him, but because Liam is an idiot, he’s not scared at all. Falling is fun, he thinks, that is, until you hit the bottom.

or

the fluffiest stripper AU in which businessman!Zayn and stripper!Liam have a lot of feelings and they both get more than they expected.

you could be my cure by jmcats

The thing is, Zayn is almost overwhelmingly certain that he’s only ever fallen in love four times but he thinks this is the only one that actually counts

(alternately: Nothing about Zayn is traditional, especially not the way he falls in love with Liam, or everything before and after that)

These Faded Stars Along Our Horizons by ch3stpaynes

Zayn isn't used to this; the buzzing feeling that comes along with pinched grins, cherry red lips and eyes like Sunday morning coffee. He's used to smogged out cities, not enough oxygen between each breath and perhaps a few spliffs with the boys when the weather isn't absolutely dreadful.

we are the quiet ones by englandziam

Zayn feels invincible, in the midst of this small town with a couple of best mates and literature students who seem to get him. He misses home but as every day approaches these people feel less like strangers and more like family.

(Or a University AU where Zayn is an English student and Liam is the football captain).

i wanna see you bright by englandziam

Zayn notices the fond smile smearing crinkles round Liam’s eyes when he realises Zayn is wearing his football shirt, his fingers fisting the crimson material pooling at Zayn’s thighs. He wears it a lot, the ‘PAYNE’ written over his back a little comforting when Liam isn’t there, or when they’re out and everyone is cosying up to Liam at the bar, or trying to dance with him. (Not that he needs to worry – because Liam holds his hand the whole time and always interrupts with tiny kisses wandered over his cheek and dipped into his hair).

A short sequel to we are the quiet ones

i could drink a case of you by englandziam

Liam is a firefighter. Zayn is an art journalist, and neither of them do this - (until they do)

This Is What Makes Us Girls by ziammehome

“Liam, have I corrupted you more than I thought?” Zayn teased, sounding impressed from the side of the pool.

Liam shrugged. “Maybe I was was just waiting to be corrupted.”

Tunnel Vision by scottmcniceass

In which Zayn is an award-winning popstar with a knack for getting himself in trouble, and Liam is the bodyguard he didn’t want to hire who has a few problems with staying professional.

Floating On The Water by scottmcniceass

Liam just wants to get through his last summer working at Malik Resort before University without incident. Of course, life is never that easy, and he ends up getting roped into giving the bosses son, Zayn, swimming lessons. That wouldn't be so bad, if Zayn didn't happen to hate him so much.

Can I Keep You by scottmcniceass

Liam is always trying to do what's best for himself and his daughter, but raising a kid on his own at twenty-two, on top of juggling school work and a full-time job, isn't easy. Zayn just wants a chance to show Liam that he's not going to walk out on them. And Liam's daughter, Emma? She just wants to keep Zayn.

Have You Tried Turning It On and Off? by goddess_julie

Zayn works at the Genius Bar at Apple. She's visited by a lad named Louis who claims to be gay but wants to know if she's single. She fixes peoples Apple problems and in the meantime, fixes a problem she didn't even realize she had.

What the Words Means by SoftlyandSwiftly

Zayn's been a little (a lot) in love with Liam for so long now that he doesn't even really think about it anymore. It's just a constant hum in his veins, and he's fine with it he swears, even though Liam has no idea. But then a certain word slips out of his mouth, and well things change. 

honey, you’re familiar by tachycardia

It's December, two years after the end of One Direction, and Zayn moves into Liam's neighbourhood. Secret-dating, post-band fic.

Only you can set my heart on fire by Rosesnfeathers

“And even Liam Payne is on the list man! How funny it would be Payne, playing The Pain!”

Zayn quickly raises his head towards Louis and he feels his own face fall at those words. Knowing that Louis’ would see it, he tries to busy himself by looking at his phone and drinking coffee but, it’s too late. He sees his friend looking at that big poster on their wall, the cover of the first issue of The Pain, and then looking back at Zayn. He does that a few times before finally speaking.

“Oh you didn’t!”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Or

Zayn works for Marvel Comics and maybe has the biggest crush on actor Liam Payne. What a surprise it is to him when his comic, blatantly inspired by Liam himself, is going to be on the big screen and Liam is the one chosen to play the main character.

Light a Candle for the Fallen Angel by chocobubblepanda

“Liam?” I ask to the gloom, my voice cracks. There’s no answer. I take a step back while frenetically looking everywhere. I try to reach for my back, but there’s no metallic grip, there’s no sword. Whatever is out there, moves again among the shadows, brief as the blink of an eye, perturbing like a wolf’s howl. I’m terrified. I’m sure by now that it is a demon. It may be Liam and if that’s the case, I fell into his trap like a complete fool.

(Or the one were a mere human named Zayn investigates his father’s death, and when every human and every angel turns their backs to him, the only option left is asking for help among the demoniacal side. And it is here where he encounters a young, mischievous demon named Liam...will he be able to help him? Will both of them act as their natures dictate?...)

Twelve (formerly Hello Twelve, Hello Love) by watyonameisgurl

In which Zayn comes back to him slowly…

When Liam and Zayn were 12, Zayn suddenly went missing in the middle of the night. With no leads, no evidence of a break-in, and no requests for ransom the police eventually concluded that Zayn simply ran away and they closed the case. His family never believed it and neither did Liam.

10 years later Liam gets held hostage during a bank heist only to find that one of the robbers is Zayn. But he doesn’t seem to recognize Liam or even his own name. Liam tries to track Zayn down on his own, hesitant to involve the police who in his experience have proved to be untrustworthy more often than not. But then Liam starts noticing strange things in his apartment. His bedroom door closed halfway when he’s sure he left it all the way open; the tv remote sitting slightly further to the left than where he usually leaves it; a stray hair on the floor, darker and shorter than his own. At first he assumes it’s just the other boys messing with him but the longer it goes on the more he starts to wonder if he might actually be going crazy.

He doesn’t realize until it’s too late that while he’s been busy searching for Zayn all this time, Zayn has already found him.

Taking a Chance (Going the Distance) by transteverogers

Liam loves acting and singing so when he gets casts as the lead in the school's play Hercules, he's excited to say the least. Until he finds out who his love intrests is.

(AKA the one with every cliche of popular!liam and nerdy!zayn with just a dash of high school musical thrown in. With lots of miscomunication and cupboards, too)

Steady to the Shore by transteverogers

Liam's verified on twitter and everything but somehow he's failing english.

(AKA the one where they're both sorta famous and go to the same uni and Zayn tutors him and there's a lot of pinning going on)

Nobody Knows You Baby (The Way I Do) by transteverogers

Zayn and Liam accidentally get nominated for cutest couple at school and Louis makes a bet with them that they won't win.

(AKA the one where everyone was betting and nothing is accidental)

Life by transteverogers

Liam Payne is Donny High's own sport protege and Zayn Malik is the lucky (read: unlucky) journalism student who gets (forced) to interview him

(AKA the one where Liam's sweeter than he looks, Zayn's a little judgmental and miscommunication's a bitch)

Let Me Treasure You by transteverogers

Liam's a douchecanoe and Zayn really doesn't want to like him, but maybe it can work out?

(AKA Liam's a pressured son of Zeus, Zayn's the new Aphrodite kid and Harry knew all of this would happen before it did)

Four Arrows (Led You to Me) by transteverogers

An au where people get tattoos of their soulmates and everyone works in a hotel

(AKA the one where I wanted an excuse to do handy man!Liam and soul mates)

ANGST IS MY FAVORITE GENRE, they’re the ones that rlly stick in my mind, and the writers who write them r brilliant. i’ve recently found one or two angsty hq!! fics on ao3 that rlly blew my mind and i just slurped that shit up. i love it when writers make me feel things, y’know?? even more brilliant when they’re able to write tear jerking angst when it’s only a one shot. like, how??

Review: I actually danced around this fic since it was first posted I have NO idea why, I mean I’m not super into soulmate AUs, BUT THIS ONE GOT ME DYING. It was so fluffy but perfect amount of surrounding angst. I also like that it wasn’t like well we’re married now.

[speakington]

I'm looking to get into Persona but I prefer to start as early in a game series as possible and was wondering if you've played any other than 5? Do you know if it's worth it to play every game in the Persona series or skip certain ones?

GOOD QUESTION.

I started at Persona 3. It’s def my fav still, even though I love the Persona series hardcore best series 11/10 fog horn noises here. I’ve never played the first or second ones (either of the second ones)

Unfortunately, unless you have a PSP you can’t play the first one. Persona 2 is apparently a great story, but the sequel to 2 is only on PSP or Vita. 

List of games in order (I might have fudged this up I’m sorry):

SMT: Persona [PSP/Vita Digital] (Never played)

SMT: Persona 2: Eternal Punishment [PS3/PSP/Vita Digital] (Never played apparently good story worth checking?) (Never played)

SMT: Persona 2: Innocent Sin [PSP/Vita Digital] (Never played)

Persona 3 [PS2] I love this game so much omfg play this one holy shitBUT GET:Persona 3 Fes [PS3 digital] This one has an added story bit where you play as one of the other characters so it’s a more “complete” version.

P3P [PSP/Vita] If you have a Vita or PSP I’d actually recommend this one more cause you can also play as a female protag which is awesome. Unless you aren’t into that. It does open up more story for the male characters tho which is SO GREAT UGH. FEELS. I’M OVER COME WITH FEELS NOW. SOB.

This one doesn’t have the added Fes character story line in it tho. so take ur pick depending on your systems.

Persona 4 [PS3 Digital] Soooooo gooooood. I love P4 as well. So good. AGAIN, not a complete version because Atlas is fucking weird like holy shit.

Persona 4 Golden [Vita] THIS is the complete version of Persona 4. I mean, complete in the sense it adds more to the story and a buncha other junk. I actually didn’t finish my play through on Golden cause…I think I started playing FFXV at the time LOL….so I’m not entirely sure about all the changes, but I know they added more story and jazz so…again: take ur pick depending on your systems. Would def recommend. (I mean I recommend them all but whatever)

—Side games for P4—

P4: Arena & Ultimax [PS3] If you like fighting side scrollers. (Never played, not big into fighters myself)

P4: Dancing all Night [Vita] LAWL I LOVE THOSE DUMB MUSIC GAMES….iboughtthecollectorseditionomfg;;; Has a pretty decent story for a music button dancing game.

—back to normal—

Persona 5 [PS3/PS4] Uh yeah totally get this it will blow ur mind I am loving every second of it.

So basically what it boils down to: totes play 3, 4 and 5. The internet recommends 2 highly so I might get it eventually, but def 3, 4, and 5. Whatever version depends on your systems, wallet, and time. I highly recommend this series because I’m horribly biased and it’s my favorite JRPG series of all time (Tales being second fav).

HOLY SHIT I ALMOST FORGOT:

Persona Q [DS]: Don’t play unless you’ve played 3 and 4. I’ve got it…and then I…didn’t finish it…yet…. cause the dungeons were getting kinda ass kicking and I gave up like a loser I SWEAR I’LL FINISH IT, but it isn’t pivotal to play. It’s mostly cute cause you get to see P3 and P4 interacting and that’s hella fuckin cute. Also I can have all my fav baes on one team which is sick.
