#true love's kiss trope

[mossy-aro]

i hate to be a Downer but no i don’t think making the tenth generic post abt how ‘true love’ is and always will be the most powerful force in the universe and that nothing else compares gives you a personality actually. sorry.

A mage kidnaps Jaskier and sets him with a sleeping curse as a way to prove that witchers are heartless, bloodthirsty monsters themselves who know nothing but to kill-

Geralt swifty makes his way to Jaskier, who is currently laying dramatically on the ground near a tree. Just as quick, he places a soft almost playful kiss on the bard's sleeping lips and-

"Get up, come on." Geralt rumbles unhelpfully, smacking the bard's face a few times, smirking down at Jaskier who yawns right in his face.

"Shit, again? What is with you mages and true love kiss curses? And always around this time of the year too! Are you all just collectively lonely and bitter nearing Belletyn?" The bard hauls himself up, yawning once more while he leans on his witcher's side. A warm, armoured hand clasps the back of his neck, pulling him closer.

"Are you complaining?" With a bark of laughter, Jaskier answers with a kiss on the cheek.

"Hardly. Just wish there was a bit more variety, you know? Say, oh i don't know, true love's blow j-" He receives a smack up the back of his head and a chuckle at his side.

"Fuck off and find the amulet for the contract-" With a flourish, Jaskier pulls the amulet out of his coat pocket

"All done, darling. Do keep up." The mage watches from the sidelines, still tied up and horrified and embarassed. The two turn to him, one looking menacing and the other smiling brightly down at him. He's not quite sure which one he fears more.

Imagine you and malleus were in a relationship before he overblotted.

You were put to sleep and you had been helping Silver through his UM to wake everyone up.

Eventually, malleus is defeated and everyone wakes up.

Except for you

Malleus is stricken. You, the one who is so precious to him, is not waking up. Because of him

He goes to you, shaken.

He begs you to wake up, please.

But you sleep without any change.

He leans in and kisses you.

It’s his only choice.

He has no power left.

No other way to wake you.

But to depend on a fairy tale solution.

But miraculously, you awaken.

And you call his name fondly.

Malleus finally finally breathes and cries into you.

Welcome back you say

I’m home he says back

Amongst the destruction, his family, and of course, you.

He really is back.

the little bit in the first neverafter where pinocchio pushes lord what’s-his-face on the sheets not being good enough and brennan justifies the 22 persuasion by saying that “he knows that in these types of stories you always give the magical creature whatever they ask for” is just delightful. that’s EXACTLY what i want to see from my genre-aware fairy tale worlds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHE DID IT MY BABY GIRL IM SO PROUD THIS CHAPTER LEGIT MADE ME CRY

[bataddictedloony]

listen this might be something that seems obvious to me because I actually like the art of film and storytelling and art in general, but maybe… don’t make movies based off of old movies you very obviously hate. Why should I watch your remake if all you do is shittalk the source material you based it off of? How is that supposed to convince me your “new and improved” version is going to be better if you keep telling me the bar is literally rock bottom?

[happy-emmdings]

OUAT be like ‘True love is the rarest magic of all’ and then they expect me to believe that fucking Brennan Jones fell in love in his sleep and a nurse fell in love with him without ever having a reciprocated conversation with him or ever getting to personally know him and it was actual True Love™ that managed to break a sleeping curse. And now suddenly he’s completely reformed and such a good guy because the woman ✨fixed him✨ And they expect me to accept this in the same episode where they show him selling his children without showing the slightest hint of remorse. Okay. Umm, what the fuck?

Also him telling Killian that if he had known the nurse back then he never would have done that and everything would have been different must have been an extra punch in the gut to Killian because if he was at all close to his mother when he was little, it must have felt like Brennan was absolutely dismissing her. As if Brennan was saying he needed a woman to make him a good person but Killian’s mother wasn’t good enough. What an asshole.

imagine kalpas turns into a marketable plushie and reader just finds a very small rage filled kalpas plushie

I could definitely see very smol Kalpas with very larg rage lol

reader is just shopping randomly and sees the plush and goes "huh." like, you know the flame chasers are popular but you didn't expect there to be plushies of them, so you pick up the plushie to give to Kalpas as a joke but is IS Kalpas and now he's just. in your room? he can't really move, but he sure can talk and he has somehow gotten angrier now than he normally gets during fights even

reader frantically trying to get him back to normal just running around base with a Kalpas plushie 😭 can you fix my blorbo? at the same time, you definitely have to set him down and walk away with muffled yelling coming through the door when you go to train or need to eat lunch and he can't come with you

it turns out Elysia did it as a prank and once hes back to normal Kalpas doesn't even care? like I imagine he's the type to hold a grudge but what he considers irritating enough to be grudge-worth is very random and doesn't make sense to most people. you also have to take care of his sorry butt because he doesn't realize he hasn't eaten in a couple days and he can't just go off fighting he does not believe in blood sugar

okay let’s be real: live a live probably didn’t age as well as most people think it did (bc i still can’t shake the feeling of ct having similar ideas and vibes executed way better after playing for weeks), but like. complaining about the game having a single optional female protagonist is not it chief

Omg so I read the first book of the raven cycle like a while back when I couldn’t emotionally recover from having finished the l&c series (both the books and show) and I’d rate it like a 6.5 or 7/10 (I’m sorryyyy I feel like the plot could have been more engaging/fast paced like I had to persevere through a lot of it) but also idk if it’s just me but I kind of didn’t like blue? Idk if it’s just me being annoyed that she has such a quirky name/personality but like her character development feels so two-dimensional esp in comparison to the rest of the gang. Also, boys club much???

ㅤㅤKNUCKLES. ㅤit feels as though you have fought every day of your life. sometimes, you cannot even tell how much of the blood on your hands is your own... and how much comes from those who've tried to hurt those you defend. you deserve the gentleness of a kiss to your bruised knuckles and broken skin, a reminder that you are not only made of violence.

#i remember being like - wait. he was a nerd. and he was hot. and now he’s the bad guy? but he’s just as hot???#most flawless 180* character turn in modern cinema#sam rockwell#eric knox#charlie's angels#charlie’s angels 2000

All of this,except post-reveal Eric isn't any less of a nerd. He's the ultimate "theather/band kid who decided a STEM career was a better choice because money",considering what we saw from him,lol. Eric is an uber-dramatic software engineer/CEO of the equivalent to Microsoft/Apple/Google/whatever. The latter alone should've clued in that he was evil,but alas.
