SLEEP IS THE BEST MEDICINE

genre. fluff. sickfic. warnings. reader is sick (sore throat/coughing). mention of food. pairing. seungkwan x fem!reader. wc. 1.4k. request. no. a/n. for @wheeboo who is sick and so i had to write her a sickfic smh (i love her sm pls feel better soon lovely)

As soon as you heard the buzzing of your phone breaking through your attempt at sleep, panic filled your body. One glance at the caller ID confirmed everything, and you shut your eyes tightly, trying to muster up all your energy and a half-decent attempt to get your normal voice back before you answered.

Of course your boyfriend would be calling to check where you were. You were supposed to meet him 30 minutes ago. Not only had you forgotten all about the date you had planned days in advance, but you had also managed to get sick since the last time you had seen him (and forgot to tell him about it).

Seungkwan’s voice sounded cheery as soon as you picked up the call, “Hey, love! Is the traffic bad or something? I’m at the restaurant— people keep giving me looks cause they think I’m dining alone.”

A small smile crept onto your face as you imagined the scene, guessing that your boyfriend probably wore a pout on his face just by the tone of his voice.

“About that… I kind of forgot?” You started to explain, your voice coming out in a painful rasp even as you tried your best to clear your throat.

“Are you sick? You sound awful.” Seungkwan asked hurriedly, completely ignoring what you were trying to tell him. You tried to think of a good excuse to give him, but the silence in response to his question already gave Seungkwan his answer.

“You are sick, aren’t you! Why didn’t you tell me?” He scolded lightly. You could imagine vividly the way he usually pursed his lips in disapproval, and a sigh left your lips. You had really been looking forward to the date, now that you remembered that it had been scheduled. It had been weeks since you spent more than an hour or so with Seungkwan, and you missed him so badly.

“I’m sorry, Kwannie. Can we reschedule it? I still want to go with you.” You said softly, clearing your throat between sentences in failed attempts to stop the uncomfortable scratching every time you talked. 

A dinner date with your boyfriend at a seaside restaurant was exactly what you wished you could be doing right now. If only you hadn’t gotten sick at exactly the wrong time, you would be enjoying a fancy meal across from him right about now. You knew the night would have led to a walk along the shoreline under the moonlight— something that you never got tired of. And it would have been chilly enough for you to justify stealing Seungkwan’s jacket (you really just loved it because it smelled like him, and was so perfectly oversized on you).

“Of course. That’s not even a question.” He replied with a tsk, wondering why you would even have to ask that with such a regretful tone. The night certainly wasn’t ruined for him, even though he had been looking forward to the date as much as you had. “I’ll come over. We can still eat dinner together, okay?”

Your heart melted at his suggestion, though you were tentative to accept immediately. Logically, you should probably stay away from him just in case he got sick too; but you wanted nothing more than to curl up in his arms and sleep. You opened your mouth to start protesting, your mind finally winning over your heart, but then you remembered how stubborn your boyfriend was. Even if you forbid him from coming in your front door, he would probably scale the side of the house and sneak in through one of the windows just to get to you.

With a cough, and a small ‘okay’, you hung up the call and let your head hit the pillow again. You swiped over to your phone camera, frowning when you saw how you looked. Seungkwan would probably arrive still in his date outfit, looking as charming and handsome as he always did— and here you were looking like a complete mess under your blankets. From your tired eyes to your tangled hair to the patches of skin that were breaking out on your face due to the cold weather, you would look almost disgraceful next to your boyfriend.

You itched to get up and put on makeup before he arrived, but you knew he would notice right away and be absolutely appalled. You were too tired to put in the effort either way. It was silly for you to still care so much about how you looked even after dating Seungkwan for years, but you still wanted to look pretty for him. You forced your mind to give yourself a little grace about your appearance. It was absurd to expect to look your best while sick.

Seungkwan arrived sooner than you expected, announcing his presence at the door in a sing-song voice. You croaked out that you were in your bedroom as loudly as you could with how painful it was to talk and hoped that he was able to hear you. He knocked on your door a mere second later, opening it slowly. He had a goofy loving smile on his face and a plastic bag in one hand. You couldn’t help but mirror his smile as soon as you saw him.

“I got some soup on the way. It’s supposed to help with colds.” He explained eagerly, setting down the bag on your bedside table and taking out a large container of soup. He opened up the lid to let it start cooling before turning his attention back to you.

“My sweet girl. I only left you for 1 week and you still managed to get sick in that time.” He teased fondly, sitting on the edge of your bed where he could easily reach to tuck away the hair that fell over your forehead. You only frowned in response, trying to rest your voice as much as possible. It was easier to communicate non-verbally when your boyfriend could see all your facial expressions.

“Sit up a bit so I can feed you.” Seungkwan instructed with a smile, grabbing the container of soup and spooning out some to blow on.

“I can feed myself.” You whispered.

Seungkwan locked eyes with you, “I know, but let me feed you anyway. You never let me do anything for you.” You scoffed lightly at his response, although it made your chest buzz with warmth. It was clear that the opportunity to pamper and take care of you excited Seungkwan. Knowing your boyfriend, it didn’t surprise you.

The soup was soothing on your sore throat, and just the fact that Seungkwan was right there feeding you each spoonful gave you the energy to actually finish the bowl. He told you about his past week as he fed you, making sure that each bit of soup was sufficiently cooled before it reached your mouth. He gave you a proud smile once you had eaten the last bit of soup, despite how unimpressive the feat had been— certainly not one deserving of such praise.

“You look tired.” Seungkwan commented softly, setting aside the empty container of soup back on the table and adjusting your blanket to cover your entire body again. You hummed a little in response, already letting your eyes flutter closed. As soon as you felt the tiniest bit of motion, though, your hand flew out to clutch your boyfriend’s shirt tightly.

“Don’t leave.” You pleaded, earning light laughter from your boyfriend.

“I was only going to go wash out the container, but I guess that’ll have to wait.” He already knew exactly what you wanted just by your eyes. He wasn’t one to deny you anything when you were already feeling under the weather, so he shifted over to the other side of the bed where there was space for him to lie down and draped an arm around your body.

“If I get sick from this, you have to take care of me, too, okay?” 

“Okay.” You closed your eyes again, shifting closer to him half a centimetre at a time in an attempt to be discreet. Of course, he noticed right away and pulled you closer before you were even halfway done closing the distance.

“Sleep. Sleep is the best medicine.” He urged you quietly. It was already a million times easier to fall asleep next to him, but as soon as he started humming old lullabies, the task became almost effortless. You were curled up in his chest before too long; the sound of his singing making its way into your dreams.

Trafalgar Law and animals

It seems he is quite kind to animals, or at least he seems a little fond of them...

Evidence number 1: napping with a new (quickly tamed) friend on his wandering excursion to nowhere in particular (or so I envision this happening).

Evidence number 2: feeding random parrots just because they wanna try the onigiri. I bet he would feed random ducks at ponds as well lol.

Evidence number 3: after taking away the den den mushis he just released the snails into the wild (or took them inside the lab later, we will never know, lol). He's so bad to animals, right? He could have just crushed them when he was holding them in his palm, but nah, not his style. Snails are cool and didn't do anything wrong after all.

Evidence number 4: Chopper and Bepo. Bepo is self-understandable, but Chopper?? Law told him to shut up like twice. Yeah, but also he talked with him the most about his own issues with the plan (he can't defeat Caesar on his own for some reason he can't tell), and just few moments after meeting him. That's a huge step in the "trust" territory right there. Other Strawhats didn't hear anything about Law's own reasons of why he wants the alliance after all.

Evidence number 5: Komainu in Wano. He wasn't tamed by Tama's dango so he didn't have to listen to their orders or anything like that. It would be understandable if Luffy was the one riding in front, because Komainu spent some time with Luffy already. Law literally saw the Komainu for the first time here, just a moment ago. He already tamed it enough to ride in front and to lead the way to Oden's castle.

Okay, I think that's enough evidence (it's not like I have more anyway lol). Now let's take a look at this again:

I'm starting to think we're misunderstanding this scene. It's not Law being morbid (well, maybe a little), as in: he doesn't love dissecting dead frogs so much that he brought one into the picture. If you want to dissect frogs then you just dissect them, you know? Not carry a dead animal around with you anywhere you go.

Look, forever ago I watched enough American teen shows focused on school life to know that for some kids dissecting animals in anatomy class is a Huge Deal and they just Can't Do It, and they fuss over it for a whole episode. Believe me, if Law wanted to dissect this frog, it wouldn't be here in the picture with him, but it would be lying down dissected on the table, already forgotten. Meanwhile, it doesn't even have any mark that it was cut or anything.

Here's my headcanon about it: I think Law as a kid felt sorry for the frog. Either made it his friend (so what that it's dead? wow so judgemental smh I'm joking) or decided frogs shouldn't be dissected and wanted to give it a proper burial later on. My bet's on a friend though, because why else would he include the frog in the class photo? :D It's a photo with his school friends, it would be rude to exclude his new little friend as well! (the boy on his right clearly loves the idea btw lol. I bet he was good friends with Law)

We assume he wants to dissect it because 1. he comes from family of doctors and is a surgeon, 2. because of this picture:

Which kinda suggests the possible outcome from the encounter of scalpel+frog. But I think we might have to consider the opposite of what we thought he likes to do in his free time as a child (dissecting little animals like a psycho future surgeon in training). He just seems to be nice to animals, that's why. He would be nice to that poor frog as well, no matter if it's dead or not.

And then we have centaurs and I always ask The Question: what happened to the rest of the animal bodies?? (my guess is: they ate them).

I mean... Luffy is also nice to animals. He would still eat some of them, you know, to survive. But not his friends. Possibly also not Chopper.

And then there's this ongoing theme of people of the D. and their special relationship with animals. I mean, Luffy can tame almost any animal (Surume <3), Law has Bepo (though he's a mink, I guess), and Vivi has Carue, right? Three people already create a pattern... we also see a child Garp (in SBS) that tamed some wild beast as well!

THE FIRST SOLDIER: CHAPTER 6

It's time, folks! After five agonizing months of waiting, we FINALLY get a story update. And I'm here to recap for your convenience! So, spoilers below under the cut.

Story opens up ten days after Shinra reinforcements arrived on the island. They're building a reactor via a site dig. Glenn and crew have been watching Rosen's smoke for days now just in case.

Lucia remarks that Sephiroth did most of the heavy lifting in terms of prep. Glenn is getting ready to celebrate with their upcoming bonus. Sephiroth isn't interested in pay though according to him.

An engineer calls them over and tells them they need to go kill monsters in the area. When Glenn asks where Sephiroth is, the engineer tells him that he's out scavenging corpses and that it's kind of creepy.

Seph has apparently been going off on his own for a while. Lucia suggests they go look for him while they take care of the monsters.

Ugh. More filler monsters. And of course the level cap is trillions of numbers ahead that of the last chapter's. This fucking game smh.

The music on this section is nice. EC has a good soundtrack ngl. Better than it deserves, in my opinion.

After an incredibly tedious fight with a recolored ostrich monster, the gang comes across a shard of materia in the ground. This comes into play later.

They find Sephiroth digging around corpses at the old Rhadoran base. He clarifies that it might LOOK creepy but he's actually looking for the picture of his mother. Like most children with precious comfort items, he ended up dropping it somewhere and he's looking through the bodies to see if it's somehow under them.

So here's some clarification, the photograph is NOT a photograph so much as a locket/necklace that Sephiroth wears. So it's not in his front pocket, he's wearing it around his neck. Neat.

The gang offers to help him look for it, taking out filler monsters in between. Sephiroth mentions that he feels the need to protect the team as the leader. That's his job. There's some cute banter between Seph and the trio. Awww.

All the Rhadorans except Rosen are gone now. Matt keeps going on and on about their religion--Planetology. Lucia is unfamiliar with this concept and Matt explains the concept of mana and souls returning to the planet to Sephiroth.

Glenn feels REALLY guilty now about what they did to the Rhadorans, worried they'll just be forgotten since they're gone now. Kinda too late for that, bud. And now it's just Rosen left alone.

Hojo mention from Seph btw. Hojo told Sephiroth "No matter how logically you explain something, there will always be people who don't understand because they have a different view of the world."

When Glenn worries about the Rhadorans being forgotten, Sephiroth takes what he learned from Glenn earlier about compassion to heart, saying that the PLANET will remember them.

Glenn understands how important mana is now. It's life force, life energy. That's why the Rhadorans hated what Shinra was doing.

They can't seem to find the necklace anywhere. Sephiroth is glumly resigned to accept that it's gone for good.

Instead, thanks to Glenn's sudden moral dilemma, they decide to bury the Rhadorans as a means of "apologizing". Sephiroth eagerly offers to help.

While they're burying the bodies, the island starts shaking. The reactor dig is going to start soon. And THAT'S what will awaken the mana overflow Rosen mentioned earlier. They'll set off explosives that will start a chain reaction. Sephiroth says they're going to have to evacuate.

They're blocked by a bunch of branches. Seph finds the materia fragment from earlier and uses it to incinerate the area to make a path. Glenn gushes over how cool Seph is.

Seph cuts down a big tree to make a bridge too. Glenn thinks Seph is SUPER FUCKING RAD OKAY. Seph asks if he's impressed with his "cyborg powers" and Glenn says no, not wanting to hurt Seph's feelings again.

Seph says that he feels he can say anything to the group and that he doesn't want them to hold back. Glenn is in full support mode now and he and Seph seem very in sync with each other. It's very cute. They've gotten close during the gap.

They find another materia shard during a blocked path of rushing water. Sephiroth uses it to freeze the water to move across.

Seph is eager to get his team back to the chief engineer, but Glenn is worried about Rosen. He wants to see if there's a way to make sure Rosen's safe but Seph says there's no time. Glenn seems to be ready to ask Seph something but then drops it.

This section is called "Inseparable". They arrive at the helicopters. Glenn wants to delay the dig so he can warn Rosen in time. But they've already started.

Glenn gets agitated and then punches the engineer, who threatens to tell HQ. Glenn doesn't give a fuck. Matt and Lucia decide to support Glenn. Sephiroth doesn't stop them.

Lucia hijacks one of the choppers and kicks a soldier out after holding them at gunpoint. They're going to fly over to Rosen's Island with it.

A monster shows up just as shit starts to get crazy. It's Stamp the goblin-frog! He's huge and mutated because of the mako. Glenn wants to finish him off for good.

They take care of Stamp and the group is going to go rescue Rosen and Refu. The other chopper throws down a ladder for them for the evacuation but the trio is basically defecting.

Matt said Sephiroth isn't fired because the chief knows that it was the trio's idea, not his. But they're going to have to leave Seph behind so he isn't dragged into this.

Glenn tells Sephiroth to stay safe as the trio departs. Sephiroth is visibly hesitating on whether or not to accept the ladder or follow the group after they've left.

The trio gets ready to take off in their hijacked chopper. And Sephiroth. Is going. WITH them.

Holy fucking shit Sephiroth tried to defy Shinra asrdfghkjgfd just so he could stay with his friends. I'm gonna cry. Fuck, I already am. INSEPARABLE. AHHHHH.

Overall, a decent chapter. Much better than I was expecting. Babyroth is so endearing and it's clear he's now very attached to the trio. Even more than Shinra. Him just suddenly losing the picture/necklace is kind of bullshit but whatever. I guess he had to lose it somehow? Maybe it'll turn up again later.

Sephiroth's rebellion will obviously have consequences later.

[akookminsupporter]

Hey Rosie! Happy New Year! I've just started rewatching AYS. This is like my third time (give or take), and I still discover things I haven't the previous times. That 1 Sapporo ep, where JK was driving, and Like Crazy started playing, he was like, "Oh, I didn't mean to play your song. I was playing the top songs in Korea." And then SNTY plays, then he plays LC again. And Jimin was like ??, and you can see JK choosing SMFP

Anyway, I just appreciate how these two are so indulgent and attentive to each other. They're so in tune and in sync, I guess that's what happens when you've developed your relationship for decades. I know all the members are close, but these two, for some reason, almost have a much deeper level of understanding.

The whole series, but much more evident on the Jeju eps, was these two just deciding together. "Should we..., do we...maybe we should..." and it just gets me all ??? Like, we know you're a package, but man, they just decide and do everything as a duo. Smh. Can't wait to see how their bond would be after they get discharged.

Hola, anon. Feliz año nuevo!

This happens to me a lot too, and I say a lot because I watch that show often. I never watch it in order, I usually pick an episode at random and that’s it, but I always notice something different or something I had forgotten I'd noticed before. That show is the best gift they could’ve given us, honestly. Forever grateful.

Yeah, I can’t wait to see how their dynamic will be after military service, though, well, from the little Jungkook shared, it doesn’t seem like much has changed, ajaajaj.

[shinakazami1]

people took all the popular characters smh. maybe the fern or the adventure line?

You. You get it. You always get it <3 IT'S LOVELY SEEING U HERE HI HI

FERN

1) How I feel about this character:

*Looks at my Fernator Au* do you think I'm normal about this plant. Do you. Do you really.

On serious note - I adore it. The fact it's in Confusion ending it's perfect. How it is made to be an important detail, forgotten later by the narrative. The fsct we have to study it, the music cutoff.

Its foreshadowing without payback. And I love it.

I'll now ramble a bit about Fernator AU cus I missed it KEHSHDH

As I discussed in my Fernator theory post, nature seems to pay a bit role in the game. Ferns are placed in both the Freedom ending and the Memory Zone. They're always at an important key element of the main story, at least to the Narrator. And later, in Bucket destroyer ending, Fern is amongst "Stanley's friends". Because it's that! It's friendliness! The Freedom ending, while ironic, is supposed to give Stanley some freedom Narrator made. And Memory Zone is their safe spot from the story. It's an important area to him. So, while it's not in our face - fern, in a way, does have a meaningful role to play in the story. That's why my first ever AU was Fernator. Narrator wants to mean something. He is important to the story - because without him, there would be noone to tell it. But he's also Stanley's friend. Most of the game can be a study of his character and psyche.

So yeah. Adore the fella sm

2) All the people I ship romantically with this character

If we count Fernator AU - Stanley and the Bucket. But, once again, not really shipping it sjshsh,

3) My non-romantic OTP for this character

The above ones + the Narrator. Some self love for the man~

4) My unpopular opinion about this character

*stares at my Fernator AU* lord, what can I say. It IS freedom. It is insanity. It's another 'living' being of the game. It's more important, at least to me, than to many. It's there for a specific reason - confuse. And be memorable. But the fact it's spread around the game gets to me. There is no way Narrator doesn't make the human-made vs nature-made comparison. It's so cool.

5) One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

That I would have finished projects for my Fernator AU ngl to u boss KSHENAHEJWHSH /silly

On serious note - it serves it purpose perfectly, nothing needs to be added.

THE ADVENTURE LINE ™️

1) How I feel about this character

I still can't believe It ™️ is not an arrow. We literally fooled each other sm djehhshs

I LOVE IT™️. the yellow paint thing in games can get obnoxious sometimes and just how The Line ™️ started living it's own life was so awesome. How It ™️ was intruding through the environment. I'm a big fan of non human characters, and It ™️ had just so much personality thanks to the swirls and the music. Amazing.

2) All the people I ship romantically with this character

Never thought about it much. Stanley maybe? And the Tape guy. Could be silly. Or maybe some of the sliders 432 makes us do.

3) My non-romantic OTP for this character

Look above. Maybe love-hate with Narrator jdjdhd

4) My unpopular opinion about this character

People see It ™️ as an animal, often as a dog. I see It ™️ as a being beyond that. It's so interesting that It ™️ moves when we are not looking. It ™️ travels between the blinks. I love It ™️ as something stuck on walls and floors. Maybe It ™️ can talk to stickers.

It ™️ is playful but I feel The Line ™️ in a way cares about Stanley. Similarly to how I view 432.

5) One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

It would be cool to see The Line ™️ in the epilogue ngl,, but again. I adore the current form of the game and wouldn't have changed anything.

[trouslinabone]

I have a controversial theory

The Papyrus QnA was in-universe staged. Now, I know that sounds weird, so let me explain.

Something's that been bothering me about the Papyrus QnA is that Papyrus is constantly smiling -- Which, yeah, he's a skeleton. So what? But the thing is, is that he's *always* smiling, even when he's supposed to be mad.

Here, when he's ranting about mayonnaise being used as a beauty item, when he chastises Sans, he's not upset like his sprite before. No, he's smiling. Like he's trying not laugh or something.

It reminds me a lot of this one Noelle sprite in Deltarune.

Here, Noelle's being playful while also being "mad" or something along those lines. And it's the exact same face Papyrus does. (I suck at describing faces smh)

And it's not just this one case, either. Otherwise we could chalk it up to Papyrus just playing in general. Here's some other points cases of him smiling despite it not being "appropriate":

(He should be mad at Sans for exposing him, yet he seems like he's having fun with this)

(Despite his brother chastising him, he's still smiling and seemingly having fun)

There's more, but I'll move onto more compelling point.

Another major red flag that makes me think the skelebrothers staged this entire thing is the fact they're bathing in front of each other. Now, assuming the Undertale fandom got the whole ectodick wrong, this isn't like bad or anything, but it's still strange to me. Why is Papyrus doing this interview inside the bathroom? You'd think he'd be doing this literally anywhere else, but no. His bathroom is the place to be.

Also, another case is the heavy hitting final question:

Now, this seems weird to some. It's led many to think that Papyrus forgot or something, but what's really weird is how okay he is with Sans taking over, despite earlier he hated the idea of Sans stealing his interview.

This tells me that he's purposely avoiding the question. Now, I previously said that it may be because he doesn't want to think about it. But I have a new suggestion this time:

If this was staged, he's purposely leading us on. We know that he knows all about time and space (by extension, probably timelines and universes), so there's no reason for him to have forgotten that he literally came from another universe.

And he can't really be avoiding the question (Despite him doing it previously with other questions) since unlike this one question:

He doesn't get nervous before avoiding the question, he just outright does it. So, if he can't be avoiding it and he couldn't have outright forgot it.

That leaves one option: He's purposely hiding it. Thus, meaning, they probably staged it. Not just the one question, but the entire interview, thanks to just how Papyrus acts. If you voiced him as always seconds away from laughing and just overall fucking around with us, it'd make more sense really! Outside of a few instances of course.

Papyrus, and Sans by extension, are purposely hiding it. But why? I mean, of course, Toby Fox wants to raise questions and build hype for Deltarune, but I mean in-universe.

My best guess is that they not only know more than they let on (which is on brand for our favorite skeleton duo), but here's where we enter purely speculation:

The main idea I have is this:

One of them, probably Papyrus, is trying to send a message to a single person in specific, that's right, the fandom's favorite scape-goat... Drumroll please! W.D. Gaster! Of course, saying the name of the Universe they came from for the interview that will be seen by millions of people is bad.

So if he gives a vague hint, before being interrupted and having Sans "finish" the question, he won't be asked why he just gave a vague hint, instead placing the blame on his brother whom is known to pull stunt like this.

But of course, if Gaster is scattered across time and space, then he should know exactly what Papyrus means by his vague hint. And for those who question further, Sans can just claim that Papyrus meant the Ruins, where all monsters used to live. Or if he had to be really specific, he could claim they actually came from the surface, where they hid for a few years after the human-monster war ended.

So, yeah, that's it. This entire interview was staged to get Gaster's attention to lead him back to Deltarune. Why? Who knows, but maybe we're not seeing Sans and Papyrus before they went to Undertale, maybe we're seeing them going back to their hometown after years of being away. Maybe they have unfinished business?

my football team doesn't know ball 💔

'mavs in five' 'mavs in six' 'mavs in seven' mouth dropped in OUTRAGE. not ONE of them said celtics in five, what the FUCK, respect my bball team 😭

s/o kris jenkins, marco wilson, jordan battle, mike hilton, tre mosley, and myles murphy for believing!

mike hilton btw! did not know he was from georgia! predicted fmvp!

tre mosley (i did have to dive into the training camp roster to figure out who was 86) 'boston in six if porzingis plays, boston in seven if he don't' see! he knows ball!

and myles murphy! from the same town jaylen was born in!

WARNING: ANTI-MAVS/KYRIE CONTENT BELOW

and fuckkkk outta here with that kyrie/luka clutch gene and 'best offensive backcourt in history' or whatever. clearly none of that shit matters when luka fouls out or is too out of breath bc he's not in the same condition that the jays are in (the guy's a great offensive player, but his defense...), and kyrie sees ghosts whenever he sets foot in TD garden.

i will NEVER understand why so many athletes like kyrie. like bball wise, the guy practically threw his rookies under the bus in 18! he performed so badly during a playoff series (4-18 from the field in one game wtf) that there was still conspiracy theories that he threw it on purpose just so he could go to the nets! fine, people miss shots, but in what world is a 6’2 guard ever going to effectively guard Giannis Antetokounmpo? No world! Not a snowball's chance in hell! (You ever want to piss off a Celtics fan, just mention the 2019 Bucks series) he said to a whole stadium that he was going to stay -and then the sage. the middle finger. the stomp. 1-15 vs the celtics since the stomp - what were you expecting when you stomped on a mascot literally named LUCKY.

and also like. morally. i feel like kyrie has gotten into so many scandals that people are desensitized (flat earth being the prime example) or were a few years ago and people have forgotten, but anti-Seminism is absolutely deplorable and there's no excuse for it. and not getting a vaccine is a personal choice, but he was literally promoting the idea that vaccines contain microchips? c’mon. that is straight-up misinformation.

finally, EXCUSE ME CAM 'the celtics always make it to the end and never finish' WE HAVE WENT TO THE FINALS ONE(1) TIME BEFORE THIS. WHAT DO YOUUUU MEAN 'nEvEr FiNiSH'?

2017-18 we got to the ecf riding on rookie jt's shoulders (also smh terry shot us out of that game 7). 18-19 we were a second round exit 😔. i'll always side eye kyrie for the bucks series. 19-20 the raptors series gassed us badly and it's not like they choked? the heat were the #1 seed? 20-21 first-round exit bc jaylen hurt and jayson had to drop fifty just to win a game against the superteam nets. 21-22 was the first finals year and like, jayson and jaylen had to basically go 100 from january bc we were at .500 for the first half of the season. our path was sooo much harder than the warriors. like the whole 24 playoff run, it was all the celtics weren't 'battle-tested' like we didn't have to go through the kd-kyrie nets, giannis and the bucks, and the heat with their Devil Magic in 2022. you can't just say they 'never finish' without the CONTEXT (sorry i get fired up about this). and ok fine, 22-23 we choked (had a first-year hc for all its worth)

davg day 7.5 and 8:

couldn't resist progressing the story last night but went to bed right after, cause i was up way too late again, oop

weisshaupt was inteeeense. i love "all hands on deck" missions. its so exciting to have the full team around even if they arent in my main squad :> i got some good group shots!!

squad

one of the most kickass visuals. one of those moments that really drives home how god-like the evanuris are. and "how is lucanis supposed to stab a CLOUD?!" comment was hilarious.

squad!! this kind of shot always gets me ngl. ever since the walking dead episode where they take refuge in a barn during a storm and then a horde starts beating at the door and they spent an entire part of the night all holding that fucking barn door closed together until the storm passes, the sun rises, and the zombies wander off. its such a display of "team vs the world, every single one of them is needed and they prevail together" ;w;

little mila, the blacksmiths daughter, was a real champion too. love her. honourary part of the team during this section, absolutely.

loved all the little mentions of past events in this area! naturally i was most hyped about seeing the message from aura about kristoff but it was all so cool.

davrin how dare you T_T im definitely having some feelings about how completely nonchalant he was about dying here. the way what happens to a warden who slays the archdemon didnt come up until we were ALREADY THERE.... davrin you didnt think to WARN us? he is way too okay with death, especially his own. shaking him. i respect how seriously he takes his duty, but i am so concerned for him lmao

i'd knocked the first warden out so this was the moment he reappeared.

smh naive until the end. its so tragic that he thought it would actually end here. even if he'd actually finished the archdemon, that was simply not going to happen.

the ensuing boss fight was cool :> and lucanis looked badass as hell when he took his shot at ghilly, even if he didn't kill her. such a good moment

ever since then, the game has been SO focused on companions and i'm very into it. catching up / checking in with everyone, getting all their personal missions going etc. i jumped straight into neve's because i was eager to see how good my chances were for romance.

things were looking good :>

as you can see, rook's hair is a little longer, and she's going without face paint at all for a bit. sort of in a phase of keeping her heavier feelings to herself (or perhaps trying to ignore them lol)

then i did bellara's quest and oh my god the forgotten one!!! literally there!!!! i am looking. that was pretty heartbreaking tho, i feel so bad for bellara. i had a feeling her brother was coming back though, there have been too many notes around that were signed with just "-C". big sus! seems im at the part of the game where everyone experiences the horrors! and i'm here for it actually.

i did get a romance scene with neve and it was very heartfelt and cute <3 so i think i'm actually pulling it off! my relationship level with her is halfway into 7 i think. doing ALL dock town missions with her in my party is probably helping a lot.

every single interaction between the companions is still making me so happy, theyre so frequent that i can't possibly screenshot them all, i just! love!! every single dynamic!!!! like even davrin and lucanis who don't get along well... lucanis still suggested i prioritize checking in with davrin after weisshaupt because he seemed shaken. them T_T <3 this is so risky for a multishipper because you could honestly give me any fucking pair between the entire team and i'd be down for it lmao too many ships!!!

Pelipper Mail - Birthday Gifts for Polaris!!!!

A rather large package arrives. opening it reveals a bunch of gifts.

[The first is a rather large cake in a brown box. It. Looks cursed to say the very least.

The icing is menacingly red and clumpy and written on the top in blue is "Happy birth" with the rest of the word smudged off in travel. On top of the cake are the number candles 36. Pink sprinkles have been put atop it to make it look less menacing. Upon slicing and eating the cake you would find it actually was perfectly cooked and mixed, the decoration had just gone awry.

The first proper present is a landyard with a bunch of hisuian pokemon on it, and some keychains and badges already attached to it.

The second is a thick set of pink gloves with purple accents, and a matching pink gas mask, custom made to fit polaris.

The third is a bunch of Pochacco from Sanrio merch. Including a bracelet, a fluffy hat, and a plushie, along with a bunch of trinkets from a familiar arcade.

The fourth is some books, a book of poems, written in ancient Sinnohian, a childrens book about two cyndaquil going on adventures and a book on enamourus.

The fifth is a bunch of johtoian candy and parischu themed beanie with big blue spikes.

And last, is a bunch of letters]

"Happy birthday!!!

We thought we would all send our stuff together to save on shipping, but I think you can guess who sent what!

Sorry the cakes a disaster, we were going for good but ended up with memeably bad. We couldn't find a 27 candle, so congratulations, you're 36 now! I'll let everyone write their peices now (making them change colours to seperate whose who)

I notice you're always loosing your things, I hope the landyard helped. Sprite helped me decorate it. Please take care of yourself. -Beedrill

Helloo proffesorr!!!! Hope you like the glvoes!! I know you're immune to poison but i think they could still be helpful handling the quilfish at the santurary (they ouch) also im purple because Tari "bagsed" blue smh

-Casey (^._.^)

Happy birthday Proffesor Polaris!! I really like sanrio- idk if you do, but you've always reminded me of Pochacco and, everyone else has matching bracelets for the character I've assigned them so I thought it would be cute idk

Much love Tari xoxo

I thought of you when at a bookstore. I also have something else to show you when you're home. I love you Polaris.

Delta.

Finally !! Happy birthday from your son, who loves you very much. I've been looking at games to play when you get back home, 'n a couple have caught my fancy. 'm sorry. for messing things up. But. 'm. I hope I can be better for you.

You're amazing bubs.

-Sprite Crimson Chroma :>"

i dont...know what to say. i had completely forgotten today was my birthday, but you all remembered. i feel very loved. thank you so much. i'm going to write a separate bit for all of you.

first of all, the cake made me laugh. congrats i am now a decade older. oh my. it tasted wonderful, despite its appearance.

Beedrill: The lanyard is lovely and very cute. I've put my keys on them, and as such will never lose them again. It's a very thoughtful gift. The keychains and pins are very sweet as well.

Casey: The gloves are very nice. I was thinking about buying a pair for myself and you beat me to it, so thank you very much. The pink gas mask is also very cool, and I'm sure it'll do me well when we inevitably introduce the stunky line to the sanctuary haha.

Tari: I remember your sanrio critters. You made Delta Kuromi i think. Pochacco is a very cute little character. I think you picked well for me. I'm wearing the bracelet on my lanyard, as I fear it would snap on my working hands. The plushie and the hat are very very soft and nice. And the arcade trinkets are wonderful, they will go straight on the shelf once im home

Delta: I've never seen nor heard of this book of poems. It's incredible Delta. And the cyndaquil book- I had a very similar one growing up. It's gone now of course but- You act like you aren't good at giving gifts but you are very adept. And the Enamorus book is also wonderful. They will give me wonderful things to read on the plane home. And of course a secret other thing. I shouldn't be surprised haha.

Sprite: Hello, my wonderful, loving son. I miss you so much. The beanie is very cute. There is a pachirisu litter who came into the sanctuary. They are named after stars. One of them is very sweet and a bit too comfortable with people. Will you laugh at me if I come home with her? She comes to my window and she makes me smile. I hope I can play video games with you soon.

And for all of you: I love you all so much, and I miss you dearly. I'm trying to come home as soon as I can, but I barely have the energy to get out of bed, let along push my wheelchair without- him. (Beedrill: I promise Bird is being well taken care of. She still sleeps by me and I read her bedtime stories.) I promise I will come home as soon as I am feeling better. I promise. I love you all so so very much.

Oh. and Skie wanted to attach this video for you.

[A video is attached.]

[Watch it?]

[Skie and Bird are walking in front of the camera, Skie seems excited while Bird seems a bit nervous. Skie is holding....what could be considered a cake, with the candles "36" lit up. Bird gently pushes open a door to what must be Polaris' room. The lights are off, and Skie quickly turns the light switch on.

Polaris grumbles from their bed, and Skie snorts, gently ushering Bird over to go properly wake up Polaris. Bird trots over to the bed, gently and shyly nudging at Polaris to get up. They sit up, rubbing their eyes and murmuring something unintelligible to Bird, who gives them a shy smile, and points to Skie.

(Polaris doesn't look well. Their hair is messy and tangled, and there are obvious tear streaks on their face.)

Skie counts to three, and xe and Bird break out in what seems to be a rendition of Happy Birthday in Ancient Sinnohian. Polaris' eyes go wide as they realize what's happening, and a small smile crosses their face. As the song ends, Skie brings the cake over to Polaris' lap, and Polaris lets Bird blow out the candles for them. Skie turns and gives a big grin and thumbs up to the camera.

The video ends.]

Good Omens

A good Omens fanfic I WAS going to write but never will smh. So Here's the storys if Aziraphale has amnesia OR Crowley Gets Amnesia basically orphaned so any one can write it if they feel like it.

“Angel-Angel! Look at me,” 

takes aziraphales shoulders to face him Crowleys shoulders hunched. 

“We met in rome for satans sssake!” He hissed “You fed me oysters!”

Aziraphales eyebrows scrunched in confusion. Then became blank.

“No.”

Crowley stilled his heart shattering with one word. Aziraphale couldn't remember him. He’d forgotten…everything.

“No- no I-” Aziraphale glanced down “I met you…in a garden.” His eyes brightened like a storm cleared over his face

 “You said that went down like a - a lead balloon.” Crowley stopped breathing as Aziraphale babbled away of their years together looking fond his eyes shining and small smile “We had crepes! And we saved the world together and then,” here his eyes narrowed as crowley wondered what stupid thing he did in the past that made aziraphale look at him like that, like he might smite crowley then and there.

Until his eyes flickered towards the angels his hidden wings fluffing in aggitation and crowley realised te animosity was not directed at him, it was aimed at the angels.

“You.” 

His voice was low woth unadultred rage.

He sounded disgusted like a customer said they were going to buy his collection of oscar wilde books and use them as coasters.

 In shorf, the arch angels were royally fucked.

______________________________

Forget me (Not)

________________________________

Crowleys eyes lowered watching the fidgeting hands of aziraphale his words blurring into noise as Crowley watched cooly.

Was this some elaborate trick? Even sk when Aziraphales face remained stoic the same observation and intelligant eyes taking in every detail the hands betrayed him.

“Is there, is there nothing you could do?” He sounded very put out.

as he watched the angel converse with the (apparent) anti christ. 

“It was worth a try, thank you adam for everything” he turned “Come on dear boy.” His hand outreached and crowleys eyes flashed behind the shades as aziraphale almost touched his hand.

Crowleys eyes followed the movement reacting without thinking. Not to shy away or accept the gesture just expressing and awarness by following the movmet and then, the hand retracted.

Aziraphale moved on as if it didnt happen. Instead moving back to himself and clasped it in front of him.

“Its back to the bookshop I’m afraid- a call upstairs- no no they wouldnt answer or even care...maybe we could retrace your steps crowley what do you remember.”

Crowley tilted his ead and gazed at aziraphale steady.

The angel began to flush and becone more flustered “Oh, right of course you dont remember anything.”

(He was taken back to his home when he learned miracles and aziraphale looked sad)

“Ah I guess you dont need ne anymore since you can handle yourself- oh would you need some protection? Hell fire can destroy angels although I’m not sure how to aqquire it at the moment.”

“Aziraphale- your tambling. I’ll be fine.” 

Aziraphale didn’t look happy to be off woth him.

“But the last time you were alone you got amnesia!”

“I’ll be fine angel.”

“Isn’t it one sided?”

“I-sorry?”

“Sounds like crowley did all the heavy lifting he agve and gave and you couldnt even run away with him- its as if you dont even like him back.”

“I do!”

“Have you told him?”

“I-” aziraphale stopped, had he? 

Had he show any evidence that he liked crowley back? 

Aziraphale brushed his lips together. Crowley always saved him- the bastille, the church armegeddon.

He couldnt even tell crowley where the anti christ was. The demon trusted him and he had never thought to return the favour.

Crowley brushed against him then presses in against his back aziraphale hand trembled against the cup and crolweys hand laced through his “Steady.”

Aziraphale almost turned.

 “Crowley!” Crolwey tightened his hold keeping aziraphale still, his breath close to his ear.

 “Aziraphale.” 

The angels heart beat stuttered, was his body exipring damn, not as of heaven can give new ones…

“Angel, Who am I to you?” Crowley asked and finally let aziraphale turn around.

Aziraphale puffed up his chest looking rumpled -

“why your my friend of course I can’t we can’t-”

“Why?”

“Because you dont remeber! Its not fair on you I’ll be taking advantage of you.”

“What if I don’t remembera what if I’ll mever remember anything of our past?”

Aziraphale looked so heartbroken it was a doubt his mind but came to light it hurt his core.

“Angel- I’m sorry-”

“No, no My dear boy I should hear it I shouldnt ignore. it is a possibility.”

Crowley looked unsure and aziraphale hated it more.

If there was a chance the angel was tricking him this proved without a doubt.

Aziraphale loved him.

“Angel, think of the brightside- i lost my memory and I still love you, least that hasnt change.”

Aziraphale stiffened

What

You- you’ve never said I couldnt assume that you theres no possibility that what if you didnt and you remember it would be awkward.

“I imagine it’d be more than awkward.”

“I-i cant! I cant take advantage of you- I’m not doing it.”

“You really are the worst crowley you lie to everyone.

Aziraphale fumed “How rude, crowley isn’t like any of you demons he’s better than that!”

“Angel-” crowley sounded strangled.

“Hes annoying he’s loud he tries to hit pedestrians and hedgehogs and even turned paintball guns into real guns and he’s the most wiliest and cunning and brilliant...sweet and caring...a- and none of you could hold a candle to him even without his memorys he’s better than you.”

The other demons glanced at crowley.

“Well, well done for corrupting an angel.”

“You’ve lied to him long enough crowley.”

“Be silent you-”

“Angel” Aziraphale turned and Crowley had his hand outstretched “Stop I wanted to tell you I couldn’t find the right time.”

“Tell me?”

The demons smirk curled.

“Crowley’s amnesia faded weeks ago.”

Aziraphale brow furrowed and Crowley looked away ashamed.

“I- no, it.” He blinked looking back on the week first feeling betrayel and hurt. Why would crowley not say anything? Why play with his feelings-

“Isn’t it one-sided?”

Aziraphale felt so stupid and hurt- but he couldnt voice that here. Not with an audiance.

“Angel?” Crowley sounded worried aziraphale was silent too long.

Aziraphale turned his eyes betraying nothing.

“Get in the car Crowley, take me home this instant.” Crowley gulped while the others demons laughed.

“Angel I’m sorry Indodnt mean it-”

Aziraphale internally grimaced this was going to play much worse aziraphale stomped away and predictably crowley will follow and he did oelasing.

“Angel- Aziraphale please!”

Aziraphale noticed the other demons follow and scowled.

“This is none of your buisness!” His wings outstretched into the corporal plane and the demons hesktated.

Aziraphale reached into his locket and retrieved a flask “Dont think I wont use this.”

Hasturnscoffed “Your bluffing.” Criwley glanced at him as if he were stupid.

Aziraphale smirked predictibly “I an an angel with my own authority I can and have blessed thks flask with holy water, want to find out?” He began to undo the tarten flask and the others schrried away.

Once settled he levelled his gaze at crowley.

“Get in the car.”

“My dear I’m not mad.”

“Bollocks.”

“No I understand why you did it, I was always happy with what our relationship

Was I never realised you may have been waiting for me, fir me to be honest. The blame was on me-”

Aziraphale goanced up tears in his eyes “Im just so relieved you have your memorys back.”

“Angel.”

“I missed you

“I missed you too.”

[golbrocklovely]

That’s what’s confusing also. Like, Sam and Colby literally do the same thing, are the same age (for the most part) live together, how can Colby still not be respected and Sam is? What does Colby have to do earn respect? As stated above, SnC do the same thing. How can you respect one and not the other? SMH this why I don’t like people.

i have an idea as to why some ppl might feel this way (whether they realize it or not).

if you think about how snc portray themselves, or even explain how they see one another, sam is always labeled as the smart one. he's the one that answers the emails and does the business meetings and gets it all done in an orderly and intelligent fashion. he's the ceo/dad of the group in any scenario.

but colby, even tho he's also half of sam and colby enterprises llc, somehow doesn't get that nomenclature. he's known as the goofy one, the dumb one. the younger sibling just following along. sure, he's broody and intense and dark, but ppl still see him as an idiot, basically. he's the one that gets called out for shit that both snc do and take part of. ppl show their distain for colby far more often than sam. ppl forget about sam, yes. but they hate colby.

if anyone needs genuine, current proof, look no further than the SEG drama. before the interview with kristin, fans were pissed at BOTH guys for not saying something to seth. sure, colby also "agreed" with him, but even kristin doesn't hold that against him really. she was more pissed about the bear. but do you know what the comments on that video were saying? this is an exact comment: "At least she confirmed that Sam was innocent in all this. Which is what we were thinking and hoping. Sam is the reason I've liked Sam and Colby. This is heartbreaking but it's good to know that one of them is innocent."

and this is not the first time i've seen ppl say they only tolerate snc bc of sam.

i don't get why some ppl hate colby. i truly don't. he has made fuck ups in the past, yes. i'm fully aware of his history. but he apologizes and gets better, which is what you're supposed to want from someone that fucks up, assumingly. sam doesn't even apologize! he ignores when he gets called out for shit and just waits for it to go away. and in a way, that has benefitted him a lot. he gets away with a lot of shit bc he never explains himself. he doesn't give in to the ppl that want to knock him down a few. but colby, he's a ppl pleaser. he wants ppl to like him. he wants to be known as a good guy. so when ppl question that, he wants to get back into their good graces, and sometimes he indulges in these ppl's trolling without realizing it.

i honestly wonder if sometimes this all stems from the killing best friend prank. you know, the one that they were BOTH in on? but since sam was the one that cried his eyes out, i genuinely think some ppl have seen colby as the bad guy since. they can't let go of the 19 year old desperate to be known. which hey, i get that. but who was also in that video? the other desperate 19 year old named sam.

and again, i'm not saying that sam doesn't get hate. of course he does. but him being forgotten about or not being everyone's favorite is not the same as hate.

he gets to have privacy, he gets to have a love life in the shadows. he gets to sleep around and party and have fun and make dumb choices. but colby.... gets scrutinized. nitpicked apart day in and day out. and what's worse is he has told us the comments effect him. and ppl still go at it, even those that claim to love him.

i don't understand the full reason for it, but it's just reality.

[bucksangel]

So hoii Ms Angel :D

Now thinking of one horny Bonky thot, I was thinking of something along the lines of Bucky and Reader in a fwb relationship (that later turns to a lovely relationship). But make it kinda angsty in between cause our precious reader sees the way bucky is talking with the new recruite for the past 2 weeks, flirting with her and what not. She loves him, has always and this is cliché yes but bear with me.

She's hurt but she doesn't want to show it cause our man Bucky was like "ew feelings" before he got to know reader in more than one way....he's falling fast and is now panicking cause he's in his "HOLY SHIT I THINK I LOVE HER" so our bonky decides hey, lemme sleep with the new recruite and maybe my feelings will actually go away...WRONG THOT BUCK.

So reader sees Bucky and new girl maybe kissing a few days before the Halloween party (she planned on asking him to be her date to that party) and now she's hurt....she doesn't want to be near him, just needs space to sort out her feelings.... Now enter the fool, Bucky Barnes.

He notices that his girl is ignoring him and his heart is aching and he's panicking cause what if she saw him kiss that recruite ( he realised early on that he hated kissing anyone that isn't his girl, he not just pussy whipped, he is WHIPPED like WHAPPAHH)

He's trailing behind her like a lost puppy and needs her affection....but she's distant, cordial but distant and he hates that. This is where I prove my case of him being a fool: he decides to give her a wide berth instead of talking it out with her. Reader now thinks that it's all truly over :((

Now on the day of the Halloween party we see our reader, hurt but still trying to stay strong, power through the day and party. HOLD YOUR HORSES CAUSE ENTER MAMA WANDA. she knows all (literally) and decides to push Bucky to get his girl back. She takes reader to the party as her date and both are dressed to the 9s in their Togas draped beautifully on them, making them look like Greek goddesses. Wanda and reader have a flirty and loving friendship so like chemistry is just 100.

The hands around the waist, the close proximity, the subtle grinding on the dance floor, they are having fun and just letting loose. Reader loves Wanda for being there for her today and they are just happy girlies in a corner sitting and giggling, slightly drunk after their dance. It's adorable.

But BONK MAN DON'T THINK SO. He's fuming. He's hurt and he's ready to get his girl. He loves Wanda but HEY READER IS MY GIRL BACK OFF (he's forgotten Wanda knows and sees all smh). So he decides to finally talk to reader but jealousy rears her ugly head and he's now just going cave man, demands to speak to reader ( after his lil stomp march to her, its cute honestly) and picks her up like a sack of potatoes. Takes her to his room (after the back thumping he got from reader to put her down) and asks her why has she been avoiding him. She huffs and asks him the same and then later spills she saw him kiss New Girl and now he's panicking real bad. His nightmare has come true. He can see her just pulling away more. He's desperate now trying to get her to see that she is the one for him and that he likes...no scratch that, he LOVES her and only her. She don't believe it cause man, your track record ain't that great and plus you broke her heart.

Bucky is now ready to show it to her. She won't believe his words but he'll fuck it into her. This is where smut galore begins. He kisses her, she eventually melts into it, thinking of this as a goodbye. Bucky's then on his knees, begging her, kissing her legs and things and appreciating and worshipping her, her body and loving on her....eating her out till she cums and making up for lost time. And then he's laying her on the bed and taking her apart with his mouth, fingers and cock and well he's really fucking her good, babbling how good she is to him, how much he loves her and all that smuty goodness I leave to your imagination.

He's filling her up good and they eventually fall asleep, him still inside of her and Reader just holding him close cause she thinks that this is a goodbye still and that his love declarations are just in the heat of the moment. Next morning she's trapped in his arms all cleaned up and now warm. She's hurt and confused and well ensue lovey dovey confessions and miscommunication clear ups and BOOM WE HAVE HAPPY BINKY AND READER IN A LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THE LOVE AND BABIES IN THE WORLD.

End scene

-🦐 nonny

i’m looking at this like 👀😳

i love this idea so so so much i’m a sucker for some miscommunication😭

[destinyc1020]

If the girl Jonathan Majors assaulted is white, he's done.

If black, the focus will be on her (media is never kind), and the media will pick her apart. And yes if white she will still be scrutinized but somehow if black we are never seen as true victims.

Oh yea, he's SO done. He's done whether the woman he assaulted was white OR black as far as I'm concerned. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Look at how canceled Will Smith has been since last year's Oscars after he assaulted Chris Rock (a black man) on stage. Will was trying to defend his wife's honor too lol, and he STILL got canceled. He can't even step foot at an Academy Award show program for like 18 more years right? Or smthg ridiculous like that lol 😂

The difference btwn Will and Jonathan (aside from the obvious) is that Jonathan didn't even have time to become beloved in Hollywood and in the eyes of many before this stuff came out so that MAYBE some might turn a blind eye to his shenanigans. At least Will had years upon years of people actually LIKING him as an actor and as a person before his downfall. Jonathan doesn't even have that. 🥴

So yea, his career is going to have a hard time. Black men have had graces even when they've done poorly as well (they're men after all), but it's usually harder for them than it is for their white counterparts.

An Anon reminded me of Ezra Miller's incident. I had totally forgotten about Ezra Miller and his crazy self rofl 🤣 😂

There was actual video FOOTAGE of him slamming one of his female fans and basically choking her, but yet.... here he is.... he's still "The Flash"!!! 🥴

DC obviously didn't "cancel" him smh.... 🥴

He's gotten into several fights and nobody really cares it seems. Same with Shia... They're still working. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I don't think Marvel is going to be as forgiving with Majors 👀, but I guess we'll see.

As far as the woman, WHOEVER she is, I feel for her, because it is always hard as a woman going against a man anyway, but going against one who's FAMOUS and has some clout in the industry. 😓😥

And yea, if she were Black (I think she's White) she would be dismissed. Nobody ever seems to see Black women as true victims. 😔 Our pain is always just dismissed like it's nothing. Smh

I wish her the best, whoever she is.

Meanwhile, I'm going to be looking very closely to see how my man MBJ handles this....

[bustyasianbeautiespod]

The Them taking out the Horsemen narratively and thematically important for GO’s view on humanity and love and community… but I do always find it a little underwhelming tbh. This is also true for me in the book, but the book makes the visual parallels between each of the Them and their respective Horseman clearer so it made more sense. In the book we also have the Them gathering play versions of the Horsemen’s summoning items.

And no for sure “cheek” was about the “gentlemen” comment. You bring in Brian Cox for the absolute gravitas and you make him do that, smh.

Speaking of the ladies, to your point about Pepper being a feminist but her hold on what that means is unclear… do they kind of write Anathema like that as well? Is it ok because basically everyone except Adam is an idiot, so the women should be silly as well? Like even our main ethereal girlies are wildly incompetent and that’s what spurs the whole story (but hot, important to remember they’re both insanely hot and in love, and so they are forgiven because I have principles).

What I’m saying here is thank you for making a 3+ hour ep that I am 1/3 of the way through lol

HI!! agreed on the underwhelmingness in both show and book. it's more disappointing for it to be eh in the book bc you'd think that gaiman - who has written a lot of quite good children's books - would be able to capture the whole power of belief/fairytale logic idea behind that scene while imbuing it w actual intrigue, but ig that's just not rlly the tone the book was going for? and i like that they braided a crown out of grass and got a stick sword and everything! and that wensley swung the play scales around like a weapon it's a fun visual!

THANKS FOR THE CONFIRMATION. he literally made death sexist. he made DEATH sexist. that wasn't even in the book he just wanted to make death sexist. DEATH!!!!!!!!!! spn-ass writing (i don't even know if death is sexist in spn but uriel feels sexist sometimes and it's like. that is an entire angel who hates humanity and the earth so so much that he actually wouldn't develop an understanding of gender or the patriarchy imo)

yeah, i do think anathema is written similarly to pepper regarding her beliefs- she feels them very strongly but some are misguided or based on misinfo. it does make sense that everyone's incompetent bc i think gomens is about how it's not the best of humanity who save the world, it's some cringefail weirdos with a passion for something and who are trying, which is quite nice! but it does feel different when wensley's quirk is saying "actually" a lot and pepper's is... being a feminist? like everything is political but anathema and pepper's things are more directly political. and it is perfectly fine to make fun of feminists/lefties who don't rlly know their shit through specific instances of character writing if the show at large still values feminism and leftism, but given how the women are written (also HE MADE DEATH SEXIST????) and the things grey and i mentioned about the use of north africa in ep 2, gomens also falls short there. it's all a mixed bag though - obv pepper's "i do not endorse everyday sexism" is part of her Hero Moment, so we are supposed to admire her for her beliefs there, but we're clearly supposed to laugh at "another deluded victim of the patriarchy" and the did-you-just-assume-my-gender-esque exchange during the bike convo in ep 1. and obv you don't have to Make An Unambiguous Statement through clapping and cheering every time one specific char says things, but when you make one character The Feminism Character, it does feel like you're making a statement even in places you aren't. but again, this rlly would all be fine and forgotten if the women were written better

damn that got long but i loveee that you called aziraphale and crowley "our main ethereal girlies." they rlly rlly are. and thank YOU for this ask!!! it was a joy to answer <3

When Inspiration Strikes

Why is it when you have, like, 3-4 other fics you're actively working on and you have a burst of creative energy, you end up with a 6k+ word/14 page one shot fic about NYE that you won't publish for another three months? I now have my two December fics basically all written and just in need of some editing and possible reworking but they're strong and they're there. Meanwhile, even though I keep adding a bajillion notes, I am not making much progress with the other pieces in play NOR some other one shots I want to do for funsies for characters's bdays (I've decided Theo is a Scorpio and we know Bill and Charlie are both Sagittarius, so those are on the calendar.) Yet I wrote a quick 6k+ words this afternoon like it was nothing because I was inspired by seeing one of my favorite bands from my young adult years (The Get Up Kids) play one of my favorite, heart-wrenching songs ever (Holiday) recently and I've been thinking about it ever since. I've always wanted to do something inspired by the chorus of this song but never really had a creative outlet to do so until...now with me writing Harry Potter fanfiction (SMH.) But I love it, no matter how cringey I feel. You gotta feed that inner-teen. Say goodnight Mean goodbye I know you think my life will stop when you're away Maybe I can see you on the holidays You're worlds away I've never forgotten all of our yesterdays Maybe I can see you on the holidays... -- Holiday by The Get Up Kids video here

Of course, the biggest twist-and-turn for me was starting out writing a sweet Theomione piece and finding myself in the middle of a Charmione by the end. My muse is fickle as hell but fun, if nothing else.
