yes, tennis.com, as a '90s nickelodeon kid i do still get the "manda, manda, manda shooooooow" refrain in my head every time i hear her name.

[peaches2217]

I know that Mario deeply cares his children with the same amount of love and attention, but I cant help but think that between his baby girls and Affie Mario feels just a tad bit more affection for his baby boy, especially since between his children, he's so much like Peach. Affie is a lot more sensitive than his sisters, and as a result, Mario can see a little bit of Luigi in him, which could cause Mario to be a tad bit more protective or enthusiastic toward his baby boy.

And I cant help but think about how Affie's quietness and serene independence could cause a slight rift in their relationship. Not a very drastic rift, per say, but enough that Affie and Mario sorta clash in that "My dad means well and wants to do the things he did when he was a kid, but I like *other* things and he just doesn't seem to get it, and no matter how hard it seems that I communicate to him my dislike for certain things, he just doubles down on it and it's driving us slightly apart.

Aaaaaaaaaah I love this actually! Being extra protective of little Affie because he's Peach's spitting image, and also reminds Mario of Luigi when they were kids... I don't think it would go to the extent of "Mario forcing Affie into situations he's uncomfortable with in the name of father-son bonding," though. I think Mario would be more sensitive to his independence and needs than that.

Mario's a fervent extrovert, but he knows from growing up with Luigi how important it is for introverts to have their space. He's still pretty awkward actually dealing with more reserved people, especially when it's his own child, but he gives him an open invitation to join in on the fun any chance he wants and then lets him decide for himself whether he's ready for that or not. Mario is, if anything, too lenient of a father, so I can't see him trying to force little Affie outside of his comfort zone to any extent. Gentle nudges here and there, but for the most part, he trusts him to make his own choices.

That earnest awkwardness but sincerity pays off; while Affie will always be a mama's boy, he'll occasionally break away and just sit and watch Mario while he works, whatever he happens to be doing. So maybe they don't play sportsball or go karting together, but Affie will pass Mario his tools while he's fixing or building something or read quietly while Mario ambles through paperwork or wash dishes while he cooks, and while Mario doesn't really understand, he knows Affie considers this bonding, and it's precious to him, thus it's precious to him too.

Cheeseaged Exocolonist Age 15: Use my transcendence of time to cheat at cards

In which I befriend a furry by financially ruining him, in order to reach my full potential and ascend as an autistic god.

Year 15 starts with your home in ruins. There's no special dialogues, and only two ways to pass the first three months: help rebuild or mourn. I choose to mourn, because this is Sol's first time experiencing death (in this lifetime), and because, having maxed out Organizing, rebuilding is highly suboptimal, whereas mourning lets me avoid stress and trim my deck of useless non-blue filth.

Because I chose the sportsball, I find it when sifting through the rubble of my room and get this rather sad dialogue.

Mourning gives you many opportunities to level your Empathy. However, because I have the In Mourning status, all my stat increases are reduced by 1, rendering every single one of these +1 boosts completely worthless.

This always happens, because Kom always dies. I'm not sure if this was an attempt to really underscore how hurt Sol is, an oversight, or a straight-up troll.

After three months of developing my Empathy in nonexistent amounts, the Heliopause arrives, and Sol's home is gradually taken over by fascists who enthusiastically spread disease, worship the military and hate transgender people. I enjoy visual novels because it's a fun escape from the problems of the real world.

Fortunately, there are exactly two nice Helio kids, Nomi and Rex. Nomi is an nonbinary AuDHD techie and Rex is a furry engineer. Rex often reminds you that he is part dog, in case you had missed the ears. His dog traits include a reduced lifespan. This is not, to be clear, a setting where people just have mutations. This was a deliberate genetic augmentation. Someone purposefully made their kid part-dog. Incidentally, Nomi likes anime, so here's a panel from one of my old favourites, Fullmetal Alchemist. They've never seen that one, so really this picture wasn't relevant. Sorry.

I improve my friendship level with Rex by giving him sticks, his favourite item because he is part dog. Rex is easier than most to befriend because he enjoys physical affection, because he is part dog. I love Exocolonist, so rather than saying anything bad about the game here, I will reiterate that my favourite character is Tangent, because she's a complex person with a well-integrated character arc in dialogue with the central themes. The writers really took their time to make a fleshed-out character with deep relationships with the others and multiple character traits.

Once I have high enough friendship with Rex, he wants to play cards with me. I wait to play cards with him until after Vertumnalia, where I beat both Tangent and Nomi at the trivia game. The card you get from doing Trivia is worth 8, making it as powerful as the card you get for defeating a giant in a fight to the death. Better yet, it's blue. Why do I keep picking blue cards? You're about to see.

After Vertumnalia, I am Popular because of my detailed knowledge of pop culture trivia. I would fit right in on Vertumna, except it is currently ruled by fascists. We'll take care of that, but first we need to arm ourselves. Popularity doubles the amount of kudos you get for three months. From all sources. Now's the time to take Rex up on his offer to play cards. Rex is good at cards, but he has one critical weakness: he's playing against someone who has played this particular game countless times. I use my past-life knowledge to win the game, betting 100 kudos that I have a better card.

Sorry, make that 200. Sucker.

I now have a vast wealth of kudos, most of which I gained from cheating at cards by consulting my past lives. With this ill-gotten fortune, I buy the ultimate weapon in the game, which is surprisingly not the Drone Rifle, an actual gun. It is a "vintage focus device," a fidget spinner. Because Sol is very autistic indeed, a fidget spinner allows her to reach her full potential by letting her stim. Accessibility tools being a luxury you have to buy - in fact, the most expensive luxury in the game - paints a very bleak picture of the colony's ability to handle disability.

That would be just a joke, but Nougat's learning disability, Tangent's drug abuse and burnout, Dys' (potentially literal) alienation and Tammy's phobia of nearly everything all go pretty much neglected unless you step in. It's interesting how much Vertumna recreates the same oppressive structures that it is an attempt to flee from.

Fortunately, we can get rid of ableism through autistic world domination, to which we are one step closer.

I could not fathom how much of an emotional journey Prison of Plastic would be. So much of it shows the endless loop that Molly’s in, but I seriously expected it to just continue. Because that’s how Molly’s life is, just the same thing, imagining her out of it seems impossible. The best excerpt of the book tells you as much;

“But even her friends, with their infinite money and kindness, told her that they could not. It was against the law to separate her from her father without his consent or due cause. The man from the child protection agency refused to save her. Her father refused to raise her. Her sister refused to help. They were useless. All of them frozen with incompetence or stuck behind walls of tinker-toy bureaucracy.”

It later mentions the wrecking ball, which one can attribute to Giovanni, but even he can’t do that, you think. The book gets Giovanni out of the action for most of it. He’s busy judging cookie baking, so while yes, he loves and wants to save Bear Trap, but can’t. Naven and Phoenica couldn’t, how would he?

Until he just. Does.

It’s so sudden because that’s the most Giovanni Potage thing to do. He doesn’t care about anything else in that moment, he just takes Molly and runs. To be frank, it was probably Giovanni’s plan the whole time, since he knew she wasn’t in a good situation, but that conversation with Martin (curse his heart) was enough to leave him infuriated. And when he finally heard that she hadn’t gotten proper sleep and hadn’t eaten anything, he decided to push his plan forward. That’s what he does. His minions mean everything to him. Giovanni isn’t the most capable, he’s just a weird guy with soup powers. He’s at first seemingly reckless and stupid, but his emotional intelligence and dedication to help everyone around him who he doesn’t have a reason to be against is so amazing. He is the one thing that can prove Molly’s view of the world wrong. He cares enough to say “fuck that” to every stupid structure that everyone else is stuck in.

And when, in the end, Molly got to just be a kid, it warmed my heart. Halfway through that scene I was whisper-shouting “WE WIN THESE” like I’d just watched my favourite sportsball team make the greatest win of the century. Because it was.

Molly being happy, able to get away from work, to be the 12 year old that she is, is so amazing. I expected she would just have some quick easy-bake solution to fix her relationship with Lorelai. She didn’t have to forgive her sister. Naven and Giovanni stepped up and, while being honest that she isn’t good to Molly, gave her a chance to fix her ways. Slowly. Because it wouldn’t fix itself fast. It had to wait, because it would take time.

Molly got to rest. Her friends got a chance to take the opportunity to do something for her.

This story, this resolution, means so much to me.

@jelloapocalypse, Thank you for writing this story. Molly Blyndeff is an amazing character, thank you so much for making a story as beautiful, sorrowful and realized as hers.

I have the house to myself because people are at a sportsball party

So what else would I do but keep watching spop amiright

s1 ep8 lez go

YES IT'S PRINCESS PROM AHAHAHAH

Oh, that explains why (in a muuuuuuch later episode) there's that little ideal future and they're at Scorpia's ball (iirc)

Catra: I NEED TO BE IN CHARGE Scorpia: party!

Poor Scorpia

Catra: giving a passionate-if-faked pep talk to Scorpia (like I get she's manipulating Scorpia here into going to the party, but it's still the kind of thing Scorpia should hear!) Also Catra: still real mad about Adora!!!

I cackled, y'all. CACKLED.

I mean she's...not wrong...

Okay I know it's just how this kind of show works and isn't important but it implies the Ball is known about for years in advance, but the invites only actually go out like a day or two before?? IRL that would be such a disaster because they don't even know the theme until they get the invite. The sheer amount of logistics/planning attending something like this, including the outfits...

This was intended to be Lolita fashion and you can't convince me otherwise

Also CATRA. They intentionally made her look so, so gay and hot.

Same, Catra. Same.

Adora (to the weapons-check person): be careful with it, don't lean it on something with the other swords or it might get confused!!!

Poor Adora. I suppose if I had an object that made me both popular and nearly invincible I'd be upset and worried to be separated from it, too.

It's Molly and Nate!!!

🎶Just like the viiiiine🎵

I love that we know these characters enough that they can just say a couple of lines here and imply a ton more. Anyway Mermista's outfit is great.

This is literally their entire dynamic. They're clearly together, Sea Hawk is loud about it, Mermista is (mostly) pretending to hate it.

Sorry this is shot is just great

Glimmer's jealousy (over Bow coming to the ball with Perfuma) is SO ANNOYING and I know that's on purpose but boy do I hate most "jealousy makes them obnoxious" plots

ANYWAY one small note: you can tell their budget for this episode is just not very high, because the characters in the background are so often not moving or only moving like one thing.

Oh hey, Netossa and Spinerella! (...and Molly again lol)

"Bow isn't the type to just leave his old friends behind, and neither am--" *Scorpia and Catra walk in*

DIDN'T THINK YOU'D SEE HER HERE, HUH, DIDJA

I can't screenshot this bit but it's so good:

Catra, in her most fake-gentleman voice: I love rules and obey them all the time Adora in the most high-pitched voice possible: YOU DO NOOOOT

🎶Every move you make And every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake I'll be watching you🎵

...I'm showing my age again. But also I'm looking at the lyrics and ngl they nearly all fit. If I knew how to make fanvids, I could make a vid that like ten people would watch.

Instead I'm working on a fic like ten people will read, heyoooo

*cries*

BACK TO THE GAYS PRINCESS PROM

is there crack-y pwp of this please say yes

Once again reminded of that fanvid of every time they say each other's names in the first two seasons

Literally cannot see Adora opening that without the "bah-dm tsh!" sound affect in my head from watching that video so many fucking times

Bow is so delightfully emotionally intelligent

Entrapta: have you met my new assistant? She brought snacks.

When Entrapta said "assistant" Catra's ears literally did a wiggle. Oh my gooooood

"she stole my food and asked me to spy on people with her,

lolol

once again whether the sword is actually sharp-edged or not is entirely dependent on plot

Scorpia is unreasonably hot sometimes

im gonna chew my fingers off ghgha;lksdhka;

I remember the screenshots/gifs of this scene hitting tumblr--that moment when every hopeful sapphic fan watching the show when it released went OKAY WAIT we're not making shit up this time are we??? ARE WE???

Also at least one person working on this show likes period dramas where tons of emotional plot happens during extremely formal dances where everyone is barely touching

there's nearly a billion gifs of that scene from one of the versions of Pride and Prejudice, but also:

once again proving my advanced age, this movie came out when I was 17 and side note I'm the same age as Claire Danes, anyhoodle

Has Adora been dancing Lead this whole time

HNNNNGNGHGHGHHHHHH IT'S SO GOOD

EXTREMELY UNDIGNIFIED NOISES Adora literally has one thigh between Catra's gghngng

i want to EAT IT

I'VE HIT THE IMAGE LIMIT FOR THIS POST LOLOL i don't wanna cut any out imma post this and then reblog it

[doonarose]

Ohhh I had a dark, miserable moment there for a second. Weekend down to see my family was fine. I was mildly annoyed that when I arrived Friday night it morphed from my expectation - most of Saturday with my sister because it was her birthday and she always wants big birthday stuff, and then big family roast lunch sunday wit my mum and sister (new mother) and grandmother and like ten of us - to a reality I think they purposely didn't tell me about because I might have begged off - breakfast at the farmer's market with sister on saturday and then off to watch the most dismal game of sportsball with my dad saturday night (mostly because him and my mum are bickering and she wanted some time alone and he's lonely and wanted someone to whine to), and then roast lunch just with my parent's sunday.

Like honestly, the shitshow that is work, I might have had the guts to say: sorry, I'm not gonna drive three hours down for that, I'm going to use my weekend to recover and prepare.

But whatever, it was mostly fine. My parents are bickering, they've always bickered, but it's become a running joke that they're increasingly using me as their marriage counsellor and that's kind of fucked up.

But it also meant I'm wiped from the weekend which I cannot be because I have more teaching this weekend, and the ongoing trudge into the death of the academic sector and all of society to face, and I'm coordinator five evening events which brings science to the community (and many of my speakers are being fuckwits and we also haven't sold any tickets because society is fucked). All of which I think I'd have well in hand.

And then I got roped in to doing a live to air radio interview tomorrow morning. And all those tiktoks you see about people who have severe anxiety about talking on the phone, or talking at all, and planning out and practicing every interaction, and utter mortification and lifelong scarring for every misstep... I think that's me.

I remember when I was in grade 3 (9 yers old), I assumed the past tense for extinct was extunct and the librarian (sorry I know most of you are chill af) laughed at me in front of the whole class and I relive that weekly!

Anyhow, thing is I have more anxiety about letting people down or the perception of failure so I have developed coping skills for the terror of speaking in public but it is 100% bubbling up right now and the dogs were out the back barking and I was screaming at them and they did not care and I just wanted to burst into tears.

Anyway... marginally better now. Radio interview is at 8am. Another fucking class I'm not prepped for is at 9am. I'm going to try to switch off my brain, get up at 6am and just Be Ready.

I just hate that I'm not wired for this shit. I hate it.

[scp-10000]

can we please get headcanons,facts or any thoughts you have on badtimes and cardinalhater531? im honestly dying of curiosity over those two afther reading your vex headcanons masterpost

Oh I have some stuff for them boys.

I already know you read the doc, so you probably know I hc them as Allays(and probably have an idea all the nonsense Allays had to deal with in the past). You probably also remember the bit about a Vex named Merlin creating Convex which led to Cub and Scar. For every Vex there is an Allay, and this fact of life led to an Allay named Morgan making Conallay(New Allays if we're going by the same naming convention I made with Convex), which then resulted in Badtimes and Cardinal.

It's just unfortunately they were both formed in Hels, and since Hels is a hellhole for anything that isn't Zedaph, they basically ran away and found their Vex counterparts and lived with them for a while while still trying to bust out as many allays as possible pretending they're vexes.

If I remember right, there are currently 4 Fs for dealing with trauma, and out of all four of them, Bad is Fight, Cardinal is Flight, Scar is Fawn, and Cub is Freeze.

How is Badtimes fight if he's not really much stronger than the others in terms of physical strength? He has a knife made of osmium, and for some odd reason, if a Vex or Allay can manage to focus their magic into something made of osmium, it becomes as dense as the metal without adding extra weight, so Bad is actually running around with an extremely dense one handed long sword that has some serious walloping power that he can swing around as easily as most people can swing around toy store swords.

He's also Scar's main cameraman even for timelapses. Dude will just hold the camera and stare intensely through it for hours neglecting all other needs. They may roast each other, but this alone gives Scar ammo any time they lovingly yell at each other to do self care in order to make it a fair fight.

This is my pokemon card binder. It's almost flat and full to capacity. Cardinal has a similar binder full of copies of fake ids he made for all the allays he snuck out of Hels. Even after the whole species was freed, Card kept the binder as a reminder.

Card also works as Cub's camera man, but they don't roast each other nearly as hard.

Irl Cubfan chose that name because he's a fan of the Chicago Cubs. Using that, I named Card after The St. Louis Cardinals, one of the rivals of the Cubs. There's just one quirk. Card hates the Cardinals. Any other team, he's just holding a sign that says "I hope both teams have fun." However if the Cardinals are playing, he's becoming a temporary super fan of said team and cheering them on with all his heart. May 8th through 10th of 2023 was the first time anyone's seen both Cub and Card go absolutely feral about any game of sportsball. People feared for their lives near the end of July.

[emkini]

The next time my parents try to drag me to a football game I am going to say no. yes I know it's my university yes I know you paid for a tailgating spot but consider a) that was your idea b) I could literally not care less about the fucking sportsball and c) wasting an entire Saturday being miserable and overstimulated first by socializing and second by the world's most horrible and torturous 3+ hour sports event is not my idea of a good time

35) Recommend a band, a song, or album: you're gonna make me choose??? fuck that noise. in no particular order (and just going of of music): eurthymics, my chemical romance, matchbox twenty, imagine dragons, enya (if you want soothing), loreena mckennit (for soothing and narrative)

36) Recommend a TV show: i dont really watch tv. i cant handle all the ads, much less the noise difference is overwhelming.

How did you find/get them? not at the moment, but i used to. grandparents had an oldman bastard cat i adored as a kidlet. had guppies there for a while no clue where we first got them, they were cool but not really my interest (and was sad to watch them eat their own babies). had a dog i didn't want that bit me there for a short while (gave them to a good home). had a snake that died and we suspected foul play so stopped with the pets until we were somewhere safer. now im too sickly and prone to allergies to afford a pet.

39) What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten? a cursed mixture of peanut butter, chocolate milk mix, cheeseitz and something else i forgot (garlic powder maybe?). i think i had some kind of nutritional imbalance because it actually tasted good to me for the first several bites and then it tasted like garbage. thank fuck that particular craving never happened again.

40) How did you 'find' fandom? looked up ferngully (it was new at the time) on the early internet and found my first fic (lol, oh boy!) got a little traumatized by not understanding what i stumbled upon and not knowing how to even begin to process it and backed off. a couple of years later went looking for gundam wing official art because that was my fave anime at the time and found a webring by accident. they had official art, fanart, and FANFICTION! they also very helpfully TAGGED THEIR SHIT so i learned what stuff meant and had in it and could make choices on what i could handle. and i've been in "fandom" ever since. although the current hyperfixation has changed several times since then. part of why finding a gundam wing fic from that era on ao3 (that DID NOT EXIST AT THE TIME) kind of jumpscared me, but in a good way

41) Make a list of 5 things that you see without getting up. phone, tea, stim toys, pill cutter, mints

42) How do you style your hair? i don't. i buzz it to less than a centimeter when i get annoyed by it then wait for it to grow out. when its long enough to annoy me i buzz it again.

No pressure tags: anyone who wants to do this.

[ladystoneboobs]

fun fact: fans have been kicked out of major tennis tournaments for various disruptions over the years, including last year's us open when one guy gave another guy a haircut during play.

5+1 Redacted Headcanons

thank you sooo much @ejunkiet you absolute darling for tagging me, this is so exciting!

Tagging my friends (hope you weren't tagged yet): @bratty-telepath, @penncilkid, @zozo-01, @latenightsleeper share your headcanons with the world (tumblr)

Uhhhhh since it's me we're just gonna put this bad boy under a cut, minors dni go away and as usual we take canon out back like ol yeller k thanks let's get into it

1.

In case you haven't noticed, I have a lot of thoughts about Lasko Moore. I'm gonna talk about the fact that Lasko gives off such repressed Southern Bible Belt energy, tgwgigitgwdd. I think it would be so funny if he got rid of his southern accent until he forgets himself and says some real southern grandma shit like "Jesus Mary and Joseph" or "Mother of pearl" or "Jesus be a fence". I feel like Lasko's storyline is pretty queer coded and I think you know why not just add in a little religious trauma to top it off? Not only is being the magical queer son of an unempowered family hard, there's definitely some bible thumpers who think it's demonic, it's a sin, you name it. And who does everything is about church and you are filled with sin better than southern Catholics am I right? like iykyk. That man was repressed as fuck and moving to Dahlia and being around magic users was obviously so life-changing for him.

Which is where it gets spicy, cause it's me. Deep in Lexi (@autisticempathydaemon) and I's DMs is what I like to call the "Unholy Trinity" files, which is me just talking about various redacted characters and their hoe phases before canon started and this post features two different headcanons. When it comes to Lasko though, like I said that boy was REPRESSED and once he was on his own? Oh he went wild. I like to think it started with him going with his roommates or something to an unempowered frat party and he was like "I want to be this free. I want to not have to think" and it started with him just getting drunk but then he realized there's an even better way to shut your mind off that doesn't come with a hangover - getting fucked stupid. The most important part of this headcanon though was at the height of his hoe phase, he was at an unempowered frat party on a weekend after one of the local college sportsball teams won a championship. Lasko was like a little fucked up idk maybe he took some molly or something but he decided that since they won the game, there should be a reward right? Which ends up being him letting like 12 dudes on the football team run a train on him like some kind of hentai gangbang. He doesn't really remember it, but he's LEGENDARY at that college for years afterwards.

And then there's Doll cause it isn't me if I don't talk about Regulus. I obviously looove Reggie and while I hear the Regulus has kidnapped his listener and they are struggling against him, hear me out. I think it would be so delightful if Regulus's listener was someone who was at such a bad point in their life that Regulus was a welcome change. Doll thinks they're going crazy at first, but it's so nice to not have to worry about things anymore. They don't have to go to work, they don't have to worry about making and keeping friends, they don't have to worry about money - Regulus takes care of all of it. Regulus tells them exactly what to do and makes them do it and it's suuuuuuch a relief for them to have someone tell them what to do and to completely give into someone. Regulus to me seems like someone who needs to be needed and by god I gave him a listener who is so grateful for him erasing everything in their brain but him. Also playing with the idea that Doll could be blind, but that's a whooooole other post.

Sentencing your partner to three hours in silly jail for their silly crimes against humanity. love me a hot honey pizza So I love Guy and have been listening to him a lot and talking about him a lot. It's almost a problem. But I have this hilarious idea that after Guy and Honey got together, lived together for a while, really got into each other, they needed to get a new apartment. They're not super well off, but they weren't willing to compromise on the fact that they needed to be on a top floor and sturdy ceilings so they could have anchor points for suspension. Because Honey loves tying Guy up, gagging him, and sitting in a chair nearby with a cup of coffee getting some work done and their hoodie on while Guy... hangs out. get it, hangs out??? anyway there's also a sign in the room that says "Silly Jail" which Guy finger painted for Honey as a joke but is hung on the wall.

Milo..... oh Milo. How I have mentally corrupted you. This is part two of the unholy trinity files. I think Milo used to be, and I say this in the kindest way possible, a bit of a fuckboy. He was a good guy, he was really polite, but he wasn't interested in relationships but definitely into sex. And Milo Greer got AROUND. Lexi and I were like "how many people in canon can we have made him sleep with and can we put them in a groupchat called 'raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized by milo greer' where they just trade stories about how buckwild he got before he grew out of it" and it's HILARIOUS. Somehow Vincent, Sam, and Alexis are in the gc and they HATE IT, Lasko and Gavin are in there, Hudson definitely is, and just a bunch of people. There's some HILARIOUS mock texts we made that I will share with you. “I didn’t know I could squirt until Milo Greer” "milo greer is all i can think about when people talk about men growling in erotic novels. i asked him for a demonstration for a book i was writing and somehow I ended up with my panties shredded, covered in bites, and dehydrated. my novel is doing really well now btw" "i cannot believe milo has fucked me and both of my siblings. good to know you're all here, say nothing about it ever" "when he said my size was not a problem he wasn't fucking playing. he deadlifted me because he thought it would make me feel better. this man had my ankles by my ears. no man has ever compared" "you know how guys like to say they can turn lesbians? if he got me, he could get others. lesbians are no longer safe"

+1

And last but certainly not least I have been a whore I am a whore I will continue to be a whore - If being a hot werewolf boy means you don't have a knot, I don't want it anymore untrue but my point stands. I love a/b/o, I love knots, I'm a monsterfucker, what can I say? I think all of the Shaw pack would really just be improved if being a wolf shifter meant you got a fat knot. I know can't be the only one, come on somebody.

pll rewatch 2x06

it's time for a fashion show! (and hairspray. so much hairspray.)

In this discussion of Ian not being Ali’s murderer, Spencer would like everyone to remember that he still did try to kill her

Hanna calls Ezra “Ezra”, in the previous episode Emily called him “Fitz”, might pay attention to when Emily switches to “Ezra”

Spencer: I was always a romantic, under a thin veneer of pragmatism and few shockingly bad choices

I’ve always loved that quote as a self-aware summation of Spencer, but I’d forgotten it was said this early or so casually, in the middle of getting her friends to help her fold fashion show programs and being excited that they all! have! SOs!

Jason says Ali lived for this fashion show and we will never hear about the fashion show again, I do not think Jason knew his sister

Spencer is so horny re:kissing Toby, I am recalling the canonical order of when each liar gets to have sex for first time and chuckling

Spencer’s dad greets her with “Hey, champ”. Sometimes Spencer is so sportsball son-coded with him.

You know, out of all the Bad Dads on this show, Peter Hastings might be the more fun one. And there’s a real undercurrent of affection between him and Spence that I get. 

Speaking of fathers, Emily interrupts Pam giggling on the phone with Wayne (right outside Emily’s bedroom!) about how they totally had sex in Texas because she wants to him to look at her school essay before she submits it. I wonder if she’s always asked him or if it’s something they started doing when he got deployed. 

Who the fuck is in Jason’s house??? I’m going to be surprised by this ig

Jessica DiLaurentis’s lunch features an Alison flashback where she does the classic flashback one-two to Em and Hanna. (“Em tell me I’m hot” / “Hanna you are fat”)

Do you think Spencer puts “fashion show” next to “almost dying” on her resume?

I bet Spencer was MIA but I also bet Mona did not cc her on any of the relevant emails

Ella wins some good parent points with me by telling Aria that hey, if wearing Ali’s dress and looking through pictures of her is too much, she can tell Ali’s mom to fuck off

Ella immediately loses all those points and then some, because when her daughter tells her that some guy she knows blacked out for an entire night, maybe did something bad, and that her friends think it’s really convenient he doesn’t remember anything, Ella is not alarmed by this at all. I would have sirens going off in my head, that sounds so bad.

Toby is here to be a sweet boy building things while Spencer rants to him and I am completely okay with that. 

Poor Emily. She wants to sanity-check Samara flirting with Quinn right in front of her, but Hanna is too in her dad and Caleb feelings to care. Aria does not even notice anything wrong. I bet Aria’s like, that’s just how friends are, given her random slapping of Spencer’s butt while they share a runway later

Where is Spencer to defend Emily's honor in a relationship when you need her

Mom drink session! Ella and Ashley and Pam and some wine!

Intriguing to me that Pam asks Ashley to lodge Emily and not Ella. Pam is the most conservative parent but I bet she sees the Ashley single-mom household as Tom being the one to have fucked up, Ashley is more supervisory than Ella, and Ella let her kid dye her hair

Pam held on to that comment about the dyed hair for a year.

Best A message: MY DRESSES. MY GAME. MY RULES.

Over that messed up memorial video

A sort of goes back and forth on whether they are speaking from Ali's PoV, yeah?

I really like it when Emily gets jealous, she’s so funny when she pretends not to be because it comes out as snark

Also like Emily asking her mom about whether Wayne and her were exclusive when they dated, despite the obviousness of the answer. Samara is a nonentity but I think a fine mechanism for Emily and Pam to build a closer relationship

Emily says “till summer vacation” and “till the semester ends” at different times this episode about her staying in Rosewood and those are different times because we’re still in the first semester, yeah??

I would be less judgy about Pam ditching her kid if it was more marriage problems with Wayne than mere “I miss him.” Though Pam would not tell Emily if there were marriage problems so maybe that is what’s going on.

i just saw your reblog of para’s post about modern au solauri and . .

oh my god dian and auri complaining about nyxie and solei literally missing the extremely obvious signs is so funny and sounds so canon . .

i feel like they’d either be annoyed about it most of the time but actually sad the other times 🥲 ( cue the emotional support being exchanged between both of them . . )

anyways i hope to hear your thoughts and possible expanding on this ! and this is a bit random, but i notice you do it for everyone else, so let me return it haha ! i also hope your having a great day so far, and it gets better if not ! remember to take care of yourself rock <3 !

Aw thank you, Apri!! I hope you have a great day (tomorrow probably since today's pretty much over) and that you remember to take care of yourself, too! Thank you for the prompt this is super fun >:D

Yeah, Nyx and Solei are both over here commiserating about their weird friends who keep saying odd, irrelevant things, and Auri and Dian are crying in each others arms about their best friends who they are in love with who are so fucking stupid . . .

I feel like Dian is the type to bring Nyx on dates and then have Nyx not. know that they're dates (he has a good time tho. except at the sportsball game. too much screaming). Whereas Auri seems the type to try and confess to Solei multiple times but just get the response of "I love you too!" which is not. what she wanted lmao.

It doesn't exactly help that both Auri and Dian have known their crushes since they were younger and therefore, the have a heightened level of familiarity and intimacy, compared to other friendships. Nyx lets Dian touch him without asking, like he would a family member. Solei is willing to actually talk about their feelings and be emotionally vulnerable around Auri (maybe? its up to @shakingparadigm obviously. this seems like the most impactful intimacy thing that Solei would give to people they're particularly close to). Dian might kiss Nyx on the cheek and mean it romantically but Nyx just sees it as a "friends" thing and Dian dies inside a little bit. Auri might give Solei a really nice gift or bring them to a really pretty sunrise (get up early and go on a hike, which auri probably wouldn't like) and Solei would be like "awww my good friend did something she wouldn't have otherwise for me on my birthday! that is so nice!" and auri would tear out her hair.

Worst part is that Nyx knows that Auri has a crush on Solei and vice versa. They are the densest when it comes to someone liking them but with other people, they're their normal perceptive selves and it drives their loved ones up a wall.

I agree with most critics of Ms. Swift re: private jet, why feel bad for rich person, etc.

BUT ALSO.

Something something the egos of dudes, and how she AND Bey can't be their full mass-appeal, strong hot selves w/o hurting a man in their life's ego, just. THAT'S FUCKING GROSS?!

(flashback to being buds with a guy who LAUGHED and said oh man, imagine being Jay-Z? Saying "I have Beyonce but THAT'S NOT ENOUGH? So cool" why. was I friends with him.)

like YEAH GET THAT golden retriever football boy, Taylor, he is literally the most famous of sportsball people right now, in a career completely outside yours so it's no skin off his nose if you're the biggest pop star in the world?

I think I understand people who care about the royal family now, oh no.

SolNem 42

42. Chasing butterflies

"Apparently some humans used to do this with like, nets or whatever, I've seen it in vids," comes Sol's voice, as Nem edges closer and closer to the edge of the Garrison. "I'd kinda like to try it that way, it seems like it'd be fun! Probably easier than this, y'know?"

Nem peeks around the corner and there they are: Sol and the alien motherfucker trying to steal her whole goddamn life, smiling at each other without a care in the world. Her girlfriend's hair's down and loose and tangled, and as she runs around chasing some dumb bugs, Symbiosis is sitting in the grass and watching with a smile warm on his face. "You're acquitting yourself quite well, though."

"Ehh," says Sol, sticking her tongue out, and Nem has only one single moment to feel a familiar flush of anger at their obvious familiarity with each other before she adds, "Nem would be way better."

The anger dies in her chest. Sol continues on, oblivious: "She's always been way better than me at anything athletic or whatever, y'know? Like when we were kids, she'd always kick my ass at sportsball pretty much every time we played."

That makes the alien smile a little, eyes staring into some middle distance, like he's imagining it--like he's thinking about human children, the most vulnerable kind of humans in the world, and somehow that brings a smile to his face--but the smile fades soon enough into something a stupider person would call pensive. "I do hope..." he says, slowly, "...that my presence in your life hasn't...."

"Aw, bud," says Sol, before giving up on her latest bug and sitting down right beside him, close enough that if he wanted he could reach out and snap her fucking neck. "I know things with Nem aren't... I mean, they're not... they're not great, but...."

Sol has to visibly swallow at that, which makes Nem feel like shit even though none of this is her own damn fault. Just that stupid alien's. Still, any guilt dries up the moment Sol leans over to put her head on the alien's shoulder easily, like she's done it a thousand times. "You're one of my best friends too, y'know? I would've gone totally crazy when that stupid war started without you."

And that makes the stupid fucking alien look so fucking fond and warm and bright that Nem wants to march straight over, punch him in the face, and then drag Sol away by the wrist. That's her girlfriend, she thinks, her fucking girlfriend, not his, and he shouldn't be looking at her girlfriend like--

It takes her a second, to recognize the cadence of her thoughts, and as she does she feels sick. No. No. She's not going to be like that, not when she only just escaped it herself, and not towards the very person who saw herself standing in the jaws of some horrid beast and pulled her away before they could come down on her neck; she won't be that beast herself, she won't, she won't--

Her eyes meet the alien's, staring over in surprise. The blood drains from her face; with no care for whether anyone else saw her spying like a lunatic, she turns and bolts.

[eridanidreams]

oh that ask is for any of your ocs you see fit

Two asks, two sets of answers! This one is for Adam and Sloane!

13. What is something they find hot about their S/O?

Sloane, as a much younger woman, used to joke that she was a fan of Newton's fourth law: Bodies in motion are really fucking hot. When Adam loses the self-consciousness and moves like the predator he can be? That really gets to her. Adam's a challenge; he's a match for her in strength, in speed, even in lethality. She likes to see him become completely unhinged, knowing that she can take it. Knowing that he can take it in her.

Adam wants to believe that what turns him on the most about Sloane is her vulnerability, the tenderness hidden beneath her sharp edges. But deep down he can't escape the fact that he needs Sloane's sheer vitality—and though he doesn't quite want to admit it, her ferocity. Her absolute refusal to stop. Her outward strength, her well-hidden passion.

47. If it ever came down to it, who is turning to the darkside to save the other?

Author starts to answer, only to be shoved aside by 5'11" of aggressive augmented redhead. "Okay. Here's how this goes. Someone fucks with Adam, they fuck with me. Something happens to him, I will not stop until I get him back. And you had better pray to whatever misbegotten gods you worship that I get him back intact, because if I don't, I will find the ones responsible, I will burn their works to the ground, I will sow the ground with salt, and they will think that Carthage got off with a warning when I am done with them."

54. What's something that they don't really care for but tolerate because S/O has an interest?

Sloane pretends to be indifferent to what she calls 'sportsball', and yet somehow she always knows when the Tigers are playing and shows up with snacks.

It's just Adam's luck that Sloane is also something of a bioscience nerd; usually she's pretty good about not going overboard, but they have a safe word in case she gets too close to something that might trigger him. Fortunately, most of the time she's talking about the latest novel pathogen, and he can just let that go in one ear and out the other.
