#we're on season 3 atm

[charliemeon]

GF had never seen Steven Universe before and i was in the mood for a rewatch since i havent watched most of the episodes since they aired so we started watching it and ita actually so lovely to both revisit a series that i have a lot of nostalgia for AND see her experience everything about it for the first time without any spoilers or interactions with the fandom. Truly the best way to relive the story

[clowndensation]

it's like. louis attempted to tell this story to daniel the first time, broke down, and attacked him before he could finish it.

and then decades later he's convinced himself that it was leaving the story unresolved that's holding him back from living his life fully now. so he invites daniel back again. and louis is sitting poised and put together, confident in his ability to recite his history in a pretty, poignant, neat little narrative that will resolve all the guilt and yearning and emptiness inside of him. that if he can just tell a compelling, satisfying story, maybe it will actually be that, and not the life he lived through, with all the pitfalls of his own failures lurking inside.

and then season 1 ends with him once again being forced to confront that the story he wants to imagine and the life he actually lived aren't the same thing. the boundaries around his narrative are shredded and he's left exposed, and subsequently able to face his past for the first time since that original interview. and you think, you think, "well this is it. they've crossed the event horizon. there's no use hiding the truth anymore, not after it's come flooding out into the open like this"

and then season 2 opens. not only is it back to the original, practiced distance, we now have armand literally enforcing that distance. a man sitting at the table who's interjections must be disregarded, an intentional interruption to the flow of the story. he doesn't exist to aid or add detail, he exists to distract louis when he gets too deep in the story. the only time we do get louis allowing any deep truth to come out is when armand leaves the room.

it's like. louis wants a story that's true, and the truth is what he's convinced will leave him satisfied. armand wants a story that will satisfy louis, to the extent louis will accept it's true.

i’m hunting your ask box at this point but i can’t really regret it, your writing is a masterpiece each and every time 🎉

today’s thoughts : smau where y/n and charles always ‘argue’ and make comments against each other on socials, leading people to think they actually hate each other (they’re actually best friends and lovers in secret, and sit together giggling as they tweet stupid shit about each other) they admit the truth with a post of them on a date with the caption “… enemies to lovers?”

the grid know they’re good friends but not that they’re going out until the posts, lando would definitely be like “yep i knew it i called it” when he really did not

lots of love!! <3

hiiii can you do shuro x reader nsfw headcanons us shuro fans are starving

GUESS WHO'S BACK BITCHESSSSSS (none of you are bitches I love you all dearly <3) anyways. Rolls up my sleeves. We're fucking that autistic man.

Toshiro x GN!Reader NSFW Headcanons

No one can convince me Toshiro isn't a service dom or sub, he lives to please his partner and loves to see them smile, or cum- you know. As you do.

This man has a yummy physique when he's eating properly, and he's not only thick but 💫thick💫 if you catch my drift. Without foreplay he can leave you sore (he'll apologise so much if you're in pain at any point unless you like, ask for it.)

Toshiro is no sadist, he doesn't enjoy seeing his partner in pain so his kinks come from seeing you happy, or enjoying yourself. Loves if you're vocal, especially if you do things like whine or giggle, he finds it so charming.

He is so shy about your first time, he's worried you won't be into him, or that he'll be a bad partner in bed. It's only when you confirm you're enjoying yourself that he feels comfortable enough to let him enjoy himself.

Peg him and he'll be so happy. This man needs to get fucked in the ass, bad. I think it'd would fix him just a bit.

His forms of foreplay are intimate little gifts, kissing your neck, wrists, your sensitive areas and a favourite place of his is between your shoulders. He likes seeing how you react, it's fun.

Aftercare doesn't come to him naturally, so you may have to ask for certain things or teach him parts of it. Eventually he remembers, water, comfy bedding, snuggles. He might even talk to you about bugs while you cuddle, just to help you doze off if you're tired.

Not a fan of quickies, he likes taking his time with you, being able to embrace how much he adores you and making sure to not hurt you. He wants you to feel his love, but he can do a quickie once in a while if you're really pent up.

A/N: Sorry if this is short, exam season is out for my life but I didn't wanna make everyone wait forever so working on reqs atm ^^'

Are exit interviews only for season 3 contestants? Just wondering cause I really love the interviews that yall did and I wish that we can have some sort of interviews done for the season 2 cast too (especially for lightbulb I love her sm <3)

As of now yes but I'm open to the concept of expanding it! When we're not working on s2 episodes anymore I suppose that can be one of the options on the table. Lotsa possibilities! Right now, though, it's been really tough working on production of episodes and fitting in time to work on the Exit Interviews too (hoping to have the last three out before s2 returns!). So not in any particular rush to add more to our plate atm regarding non-episode content. But we'll see what's drawing us later down the line.

[itsclydebitches]

Building off your argument that Ted isn't going to go back to Kansas, he was constantly correcting his mother this episode with regards to British terms. Where before he was the outsider who didn't understand Britishisms, now he is the native who uses the terms instinctively to the point where he gets annoyed when they're used wrong. Sounds like he's acclimatized to England.

Yes!!! I was thinking that a couple weeks back too when Ted first uses "football" instinctively and then comments on how natural it's become. He's reached a point where he's both using that terminology as a matter of course ("Some of us have a football team to coach!") as well as teaching others (here's how the dials on the oven work). (Sidenote: I'm not sure what to do with Dottie's tea comment yet. Not even sure atm whether I read it as sincere or sarcastic, but regardless, I think it's a potentially useful detail next to Ted willingly drinking tea in "Sunflowers." That was another version of acclimation on his part.) Now, combine this verbal/dietary acclimation with our opening where every previously negative interaction Ted had with the community has been flipped to show that they now adore him -- seen most strikingly through the "wanker" guy and, throughout this season, the pub trio supporting him at training -- and if they do send Ted back to Kansas it's really going to read as that Mary Poppins situation of, "He arrives to brighten everyone else's lives and then leaves. Why do you care what he needs? He's just a narrative tool."

To further add to this I can't help but think about the long-term structure of Ted's life now that we know Beard's backstory. We're told that, like his time here in Richmond, Ted helped Beard, forgave him, gave him another chance, and ultimately gave him a life. If we look at Beard's situation as a microcosm of the whole show, it seems significant that Ted does not leave Beard behind. That was not a situation -- a situation we're worried about getting now -- where Ted played the part of emotional coach and then sent Beard on his way, far from him as he's no longer needed. Instead, we get the opposite. Beard becomes his best friend, a staple of his life, and continues to help Ted in turn. By waiting until the penultimate episode to reveal the roots of Beard's loyalty, the show has ensured that the focus is on their equal standing and how Beard has likewise benefited Ted over the years: helping him see that wanting to win isn't a bad thing, trying to provide support through his anxiety, recognizing Ted's tells and informing their new community of what to look for (Nate, during the divorce arc: "Is he okay?" Beard: "No!") Beard could have been a minor, flatter character who popped out of the woodwork just to say, "Ted Lasso changed my life for the better, extraordinarily so, and he is The Best Man anyone could ever meet" (which, frankly, would have made Ted a flatter character too) and then gone on his way, having succeeded in the narrative function of reminding the viewer that this is Ted's sole role in the story: coaching others to be their best selves while pushing his own needs aside.

Instead, Beard becomes the cornerstone of Ted's support system. Ted doesn't leave him behind, he permanently integrates him into his life.

What's a microcosm of this microcosm? Ted Lasso does the same thing with Trent. Does he go off into the writing world once Ted helps him realize what he truly wants in life, his story concluded, never to be seen again? To quote Beard, "No!" Trent comes back and, significantly, Ted doesn't pull any metaphorical Mary Poppins arguments along the lines of, "I'm done all I can for you. It's time for you to move on." He eagerly invites Trent into their Richmond circle when no one else will (I'm currently working on a meta of Trent's first scene of Season 3 because OH BOY IS THERE A LOT) and Trent stays, not simply writing his book but becoming a member of the family. Surely there's a pattern here: The people Ted helps don't leave him, but rather become core additions to his life that enrich his own outlook and understanding of himself.

I'm not saying I'm going to toss Ted Lasso in the bin if we get the Kansas ending, but I AM saying you all will have to suffer through a dissertation length meta on my blog about why that was a bad choice lol

[paullovescomics]

Many moons ago, when (I think it was) the fifth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was airing on TV, I decided it might be fun to join some mailing lists dedicated to the show, so I'd have more people to talk about the show with. (Mailing lists were pre-social media vehicles for fandom, somewhere between USENET and MySpace; imagine a chain of comments on a Tumblr post, but it's sent to you in email.) It definitely let me talk to more people about a show that I loved, but it also taught me that online fandom can take just as easily as it gives. [SPOILERS if you're just starting to watch the show, i think it might be having a minor resurgence atm.]

It wasn't a terribly negative experience. I didn't get bullied or even have my ideas shit on. That season had the show's typical mystery of what's the deal with this season's Big Bad and how are Buffy and the Scoobies going to defeat them, but it also had the mystery of Buffy's previously unseen sister, Dawn. Where did she come from? Howcome all the characters act like she's been there all along when she totally hasn't been? Et cetera, et cetera, et wtf.

There had been cryptic hints dropped in the previous season (Little Miss Muffet, counting down from 7-3-0), but they were very cryptic. Babylon 5 had concluded not too long ago, and HBO's mainstreaming of the "tv show as novel" concept had not quite kicked into gear yet, so nerdy fannish brains were hungry for a well-planned-out tv narrative to sink their teeth into. This mailing list was full of speculation, sometimes based on those aforementioned hints, sometimes based on the bits of Latin and German text seen in the opening credits (the show is full of mystical tomes), to all those sorts of background details and clever quips that supposedly have hidden meanings. You know how it can get.

Of course I had my own theories, which I do not remember. That's suspiciously convenient, because I do remember that they were wrong. (Good job, super ego. You saved me from an embarrassing memory for once. That doesn't mean we're okay about all the other stuff.) Whatever my wrong predictions were, it really bugged me when they turned out to be wrong. And before they were proved to be wrong, it also bugged me when I would watch the show and someone else's theory, usually one I didn't like so much, would pop into my head. Oh, that one character did that thing that supposedly proves that such-and-such will happen. There was a mention of that so-called clue that means Dawn will turn out to be whatever annoying thing that one poster said that I didn't like. My pet theory being wrong was just the stink on top of the turd pie.

So at the end of that season, I thought, this deeper involvement in fandom has made the show less fun to watch. And that sucked, because I really liked that show. I'd found it at the beginning, and my enjoyment of it had grown from a very simplistic "hey, there's an attractive lady kicking vampires" to a real appreciation of all the character growth and the good acting and the smart metaphors and the playing with tropes, all the stuff that makes a tv show good. And one of my best friends had recently gotten into the show, though they were still catching up via my obsessive video taping (a lost art, folks). All that enjoyment was diminished, if only a bit, by my participation is a particular aspect of fandom. I unsubbed from the mailing lists and decided I wouldn't go down that path again.

Obviously, I didn't completely give up on online fandom, because here I am. But I have tried to be much more careful in how I engage with that fandom. Speculation isn't for me. It might be for you. Digging into behind-the-scenes details, and examining statements that creators have made about a story is not for me. It might be for you. What is for me is finding those stories--whatever medium they may be told in--that appeal to me, taking them in, letting myself get lost in the details that catch my attention, talking about those things with friends, and occasionally posting something here. Similar vibes seem to attract each other here. Most of the interaction is just a like, which I can interpret as appreciation for the thing that I enjoy or maybe my rambling about it, and that's nice. When folks do reply with more than a like, it's almost always thoughtful and written in a chill, conversational way.

I reckon the moral is, it's worthwhile to notice how your interaction with fandom affects your enjoyment of the art that brought you there in the first place, and it can be helpful to tailor that interaction so that you get the most positive and the least negative out of it.

Let me just scoot myself in here real quick AHEM! I would like to participate in this 100 followers event!

I would like epel with....

warnings: just random people thinking epel is a girl while on a date with reader.. bless his heart. pls remember that although here, in this fic, it's to be taken as light-hearted comedy in a fictional scenario, misgendering others can have serious effects on people irl. always remember to never assume the important things about a person just because of their appearance. thank u <3

YAKOOO TYSM I KNOW YOU DON'T REMEMBER WHAT YOU REQUESTED BUT HERE YOU GO LMAO- we're actually almost at 500 atm hehe anyways HOPE YOU ENJOY MY DEAR YAKO

♡manly misunderstanding♡

Epel wasn’t too sure what it would feel like to overblot. But he was sure that he would be moments close to forming the oozing, black liquid from his pen if you and him did not walk out of the mall you both had been shopping in as soon as possible. Because what had disrupted your very first date together as a couple was just outrageous.

Out. Rageous.

“Hello, Miss!” an overly cheery voice called out to you both, specifically referring to your startled boyfriend who jumped up in surprise. “Would you like to try out our new moisturizer?” the saleswoman chirped, “It's one hundred percent made of natural ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter! Perfect for a self-care day!”

Epel hesitantly raised his pale hand in refusal, instinctively shielding you from the gazes of the insistent advertisers as if you were a jewel in need of protection—even despite the fact that he was clearly the one in need of more protection rather than yourself.

 “Ah—No, thank you,” Epel politely declined, “I think I’m alright—”

The bright saleswoman, however, continued to tread closer and closer to the first year’s defensive form as she eagerly passed down a fancy-looking bottle of lotion into his hand, “Are you sure? We are having a limited-time sale for this season only! Here, come into our store and see for yourself—”

“Young Lady!” Readily backing away from the previous shop, the two of you hastily moved forward to flee the creeping stares of the mall only to immediately be caught by another spokesperson. “Please have a sample of our latest concealer!” The seller, this time a very young and refreshing boy, called out to Epel, “Clogs no pores and nurtures your fair skin!”

“Ah—Sorry, I’m not very into that sort of thing—”

“Hi! Wanna try out this trending red lipstick? I bet it would SO match that cute top you have on right now, Miss. Post and share it with your girlfriends, too! Or even your boyfriends!”

“Please, just leave us alone—” 

“MADAM, DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO WIN FREE TICKETS TO SEE POPULAR ACTOR NEIGE LEBLANCHE IF YOU ORDER A CASKET OF OUR RED APPLE SODA RIGHT NOW! THAT’S RIGHT! FREE TICKETS TO SEE OUR MEDIA PRINCE, NEIGE LEBLANCHE IF YOU PURCHASE RIGHT NOW! GET YOUR DRINKS TODAY!”

“OH FOR SEVENS’ SAKE!”

Hollering in frustration, Epel’s sanity had ticked its final thread of patience as he bolted towards the blaring red lights of the mall’s heavenly exit. You quickly followed behind him, concerned but slightly amused by your boyfriend’s struggle to escape the grasps of the endless sea of salespersons as they all flocked the young boy like a stray piece of food being surrounded by a wave of birds on the shoreline. Dashing past the tempting aroma of the plentiful food stalls, speeding away from any stranger who had so much as looked your way, and skipping across the wooden tiles of the mall’s boardwalk, you and Epel had finally stopped to rest as the advertisers were now nowhere in sight.

Well, you had thought so, at least. 

“...You know,” your voice said tiredly, finally catching your breath from the strenuous chase, “if the other first years saw this, they’d never let you live this down, right?”

“Shut up,” Epel glared back at you with no real ill intent. “It’s our little secret, alright? And no tellin’ Ace or Deuce ‘bout this! Nev’r!”

“Really~? What if I accidentally let it slip out one day during alchemy lessons that we were both chased down by a bunch of your fangirls and fanboys because of your beautiful looks? What would you do then?” a smug smile then slowly grew on your face, clearly trying to cause some sort of mischief between the two of you with your jokes.

The boy proceeded to maintain an exhausted stare at your comment, “You’re an idiot, (Y/n).” 

“No, I’m not.”

“I hate you.”

“I love you, too.”

Epel, upon hearing your words, stood still in shock for a fragment of a second as he took in what you had just said in its entirety. “That’s… that’s not fair,” he muttered in what seemed like a flash of defeat, “But you were kiddin’, right? You wouldn’t actually—”

“Hey, you there!” another unknown voice coming from the store adjacent to the both of you pierced your ears like a dozen nails on a chalkboard, “Would you like a special sample of this new cologne and perfume by a well-known rising actor and model? May I present to you, madam, Fairest and True, Schoenheit: The Fragrance—!”

“NO, PLEASE,” Epel curtly yelled as he leaped yards away from the salesman innocently holding out an elegant, violet bottle of perfume towards his stature, “ANYTHING BUT THAT—”

a/n:  currently imagining vil in a fragrance commercial like adrien agreste from miraculous ladybug. i am dying.

lowkey highkey stalking ur blog and saw a tag abt how u have thoughts abt s6 shigaraki. share🥹

HI thank you for asking!!

So I think you might be referring to this post about Shigaraki's s6 Fit Of All Time. The spiritual TL;DR of those tags is: I know this version of Shigaraki is a character who has reached Peak Manipulated, Tragic Story Potential, but his look is lowkey fire anyway.

(A note on the outfit: I stand by the fact that it is the Fit Of All Time. Simple. Classic. Very very cool. I overthought about it when I first saw it because I <3 overthinking about MHA and had a small Moment about Shigaraki reaching this final-ish villainous form and immediately donning a hero's cape, and the possible implications of this. Plus, and this is more of a USAmerican view I think, but a red cape is like The Superhero Accessory, because Superman (and Thor. And Doctor Strange. But mostly Superman.))

So. For context, I'm halfway-ish through Season 6 atm. It's me and my pockets full of spoilers against the world, but there have been Several Things that no amount of spoilers could have prepared me for, Shigaraki being one of them. I mean. TALK ABOUT A CORRUPTION ARC.

The thing about Shiggy is that, by the time we meet him, he has already had his traditional 'corruption arc' when AFO found him as a child and manipulated him into becoming a villain. When we talk about corruption arcs in literature, we're usually talking about this kind of moral decay (pun intended). It's the movement from 'hero' to 'villain' (or, in Shigaraki's case, 'innocent child' to 'supervillain successor.' And, yes, I know he decayed his family before he met AFO, but I'm really not going to assign any moral blame there for obvious reasons).

But Shigaraki has also had numerous other negative character arcs before we met him. He starts his life perhaps not with a happy, normal family, but with a family and a house and a dog. By the time we are introduced to him in s1, he's been living in the shadows, is isolated emotionally and physically from the people around him, and has garbage interpersonal skills and relationships. Even his name has been 'corrupted,' from the name of a hero (Shimura) to that of a villain (Shigaraki). So, it seems like Shigaraki has undergone every possible negative/corruption arc long before s6.

AND YET.

The s1 -> s6 Shigaraki journey isn't a corruption of morals or circumstances. It's a corruption of wills. When we meet Shigaraki, he's a whiny, impulsive 'manchild' (I don't remember who called him that after USJ, but it was iconic and they were correct. It might have been All Might. You go All Might). But in spite of, or maybe because of, his manchild-ness, you can definitely see that Shigaraki has willpower. He's bossy. He's actually kind of bratty. He pretty much stomps his foot and expects people to comply with his demands. If he doesn't like something, he's like, "Ew, Kurogiri, get rid of it/them this instant." AFO definitely has an unhealthy amount of influence over him at this point, but Shigaraki still plays a very active (though often unsuccessful) role in his own schemes (the Nomu attack in Hosu City, for example).

And, after AFO's arrest at Kamino, we actually see Shigaraki's will get stronger. He might flounder a little at first, lost without AFO's direct supervision, but eventually he's forced to start making real decisions for and about the League. This character growth reaches its apex when he takes over the Paranormal Liberation Front. (Note: red cape again. Grabs him by the shoulders and shakes him, etc.)

But THEN. Season 6. The literal battle of wills. If AFO prevails, he will have destroyed pretty much the only thing Shigaraki has left. It's like. The ultimate corruption arc. Corruption of the self. BTW in case it wasn't clear I want to roundhouse kick AFO into another dimension. I genuinely like most of the villains in MHA but he is the Emperor Palpatine of this story and it shows. [MANGA SPOILERS FOR THE REST OF THIS PARAGRAPH] I really, really wanted Shigaraki to throw him down the proverbial reactor shaft Darth Vader-style, but from what I understand that ship has sailed. Boooooo.

So now s6 Shigaraki is walking a very thin line between the success of this final corruption arc, that of his autonomy, and finally breaking some aspect of AFO's control over his entire life. It is a very, very thin line, because even if AFO can't control him anymore, he's the reason Shigaraki is WHO he is and WHERE he is (and WHAT he is, if we get into the whole Nomu-ification storyline).

So, yeah. Walking a very thin line. But at least he looks good doing it!! Wearing a disembodied hand on your face is OUT, wearing a tattered red cape is IN. What does it symbolize? Shigaraki personifying what he blames heroes for--destroying society--while dressing up as one of them? Shigaraki becoming his own hero by finally 'achieving his dream' of being powerful enough to destroy the world that hurt him? Foreshadowing that Shigaraki, wearing a hero's literal costume, and AFO are in some way opposed now? The author wanting to draw a really cool cape??? Who knows!! But I love it sm.

for the good omens ask game— a lot since you said you’re traveling! 1, 3, 9, 11, 16, 19, 23, 24!

oh, what an honour to get an ask from op! :D thanks! strap yourselves in this is gonna be a looong one!

1. when did you first watch/discover good omens, and how did you find out about it?

i actually first heard about it after the first or second trailer for s1 dropped! idk how and when exactly that was (it's been a while) but i remember thinking 'oh i gotta watch this, it looks funny and has david tennant in it'. guess what. i didn't watch it until s2 came out and the entire internet was screaming about it. so i finally caved, asked for my friends amazon account (bc she had a prime account) and gave it a shot – the rest is history.

3. have you created any fanart or fanfiction, or really any content for the fandom?

i have created some gifs! you can find them here

9. have you seen any other work by david tennant and/or michael sheen?

oh yeah LOADS. i've been a fan of DT since i first watched doctor who back in 2011? or 2012? and i've seen the twilight saga films lots of times (aro was always a fave).

now, After-GO, i've seen/listened to a lot of davids stuff (like idk, 50 or 60%? which is a lot bc he has done soo much things) and i'm currently "working on" michaels filmography :) 'm watching masters of sex atm and i just bought tickets for the cinema run of Nye, since i wasn't able to see it in person when i was in london 2 weeks ago, sadly.

11. what is (if you read) your favourite type of human au for good omens? (ex. coffee shop au, surgeons au, plant store au

i adored almost every human au i've read so far!! but the two i'm obsessed with are that one actors au everyone and their mother knows and read (Slow Show on ao3, don't have a link rn sorryy) and the formula 1 au (idk how that happened, i don't even watch f1, it's just so good) i'm currently reading.

16. do you know anyone irl who has also watched good omens?

UHM YEAH but that's because i made them watch it lmao. a few of my close friends, that is. but besides them... nope.

19. have you ever read the crowley therapy fic (the most-read fic in the fandom)?

yep! i took me a while bc it was... A Lot but i finished it a few weeks ago. let's say it fucking destroyed me yup yup ✌🏻

23. what's a good omens headcanon that you considered canon?

idk if this is considered a headcanon but... they kissed in 1941. 100%.

24. what's a theory for season 3 that you NEED to be included?

hmm i'm not sure. like, i really like all those theories going around, but i'm traumatised by bbc sherlock so i'm trying not to get my hopes up lmao. again idk if that's considered a headcanon or theory, but i think we're likely gonna see (parts of) crowleys fall and i think it will also play a part in the plot. also: book of life shenanigans. and bamf aziraphale dismantling heaven (and hell). OH and a part 3 of 1941. (maybe a kiss...? 👉🏻👈🏻). yeah.

ask game for people in the good omens fandom!

[hellofromthehallowoods]

Is there any summary for season 1 or 2 anywhere? I dropped off because of exams and I find it very intimidating/difficult to try and listen to all the episodes or read the transcripts to catch up.

This is by no means a slight or anything, I love your work! but I’m the equivalent of Kermit frantically looking back and forth atm

Let's ask the community! Fandom, how would you summarize Seasons 1 & 2? Is such a thing even possible?

The good news is, after Season 3's Halloween finale, we're taking a months-long break before Season 4 gets going, so there will be a lot more time to catch up on episodes. There's also a recap video planned during the break. (And what a lengthy recap video it will have to be, for the complexity of a story like this one).

hi emma! i miss the boys but willy the most atm, do you have any favorite game or interview moments of his?

hiiiiii there... can't believe how long this summer is going to feel without them tbh. BUT MISSING WILLIAM NYLANDER HOURS? okay, i got you.

one of my favorite willy vids is his leaf to leaf with jt from last year. he's just so.. chill and open and happy there idk. his laugh gets me, and it's the same in his older leaf to leaf with auston. i also love the one with zach hyman from covid times and getting to see him laidback in his own space. and then... more recently.. i have revisited the bunting and willy tim hortons drive through content 489324923 times to cheer me up. also for more serious but interesting conversation, i've loved what the leafs have done with their 3 course conversations and willy's swedish menu one was interesting!!

if you want some older days stuff, there's his 20 questions with kasperi kapanen from when they were on the marlies... that was my intro to their dynamic and i love it. (and the 20 questions from the year before that is good too.. he's just a young baby giggly cherub imo) (also peep this willy + pasta interview from back in the day... it's fascinating to dig into the old connections imo) and here's an old compilation of him laughing :') i'm sure there are fancams and vids on twitter of him, but i'm TERRIBLE at keepign track of and sorting media on twitter, my bad.

and then maybe my favorite willy video of all time bc i'm not immune to cute happy children is that iconic interview with his dad where he's in the bg squirming around and knocking shit over and laughing... cutest thing i've seen in my entire life EVER.

if you're looking for more hockey stuff, here's a fun fanvid abt his career highlights up until last year (and how bitchy ppl have been abt his career only for him to prove his worth over n over), and then here's a recent compilation of all his highlights from this year... get to relive his hockey skill and pretend like we're still watching him play. it's a crime that we're not.

anyway, hope any of that helped or cheered you up. i hate how every leaf goes dark during the off season, but i totally don't blame them. if worst comes to worst, i also scroll through their igs/twitters and just google search them or look through blogs who have them as favorites. it's rough out here missing hockey players.

Omg you're making me want to get back into Black Butler so badly. I ditched the anime after the godawful second season, but if it's following the manga plot again I should really get back to it... also you're 100% right about the dub, Brina Palencia & J Michael Tatum are so freaking great in those roles 🥲

Bestie.... my love......

You shouldn't have sent this bc now every kuroshitsuji post I reblog will aggressively be dedicated to you until you start watching again 🤗🤡

They started following the manga plot again right after s2, and we've gotten a whole season for Book of Circus, a two part OVA for Book of Murder, AND a movie for Book of the Atlantic... and they're all so STUPID good. The animation has gotten better every release and it's uber faithful to the manga, so if you've ever just loved Black Butler for the plot/aesthetic/etc. you 100% should jump back on it!!!! (And Brina and Tatum are there for the whole thing and are INCREDIBLE.)

I have to admit I haven't read the Public School Arc manga so I'm watching totally blind atm! But we're only 3 episodes in so there's definitely time for you to catch up... and come watch with me..... we can scream about it all together i promise I'll be sorta normal..... promise 👀👀👀💘💘💘

The Neighborhood Watch Recap, s3 ep12: Rewind

[Summary: The Cast breaks into the casino once more. John bites a demon, Song fights her mom, and we have plenty of time to solve our problems.]

Last we left off, the Cast learned about the lore of the town. In this season finale, they make and enact a plan to stop Song's mother, Melody. ----------------------

We discuss how to enter the casino; Song asks her dad Grayson, the head of security, for advice- he says he can make some calls to his own men about it. We can brute force our way into the casino, Louis suggests, and while John has himself as a weapon Song offers her own secret weapon stash for him to grab from.

Grayson returns from his calls and says one of his guys can get us in through the casino's connected hotels and through some hidden tunnels- but the place is full of nameless guards (the librarian's creations), so we'll have to take them out. This causes a quick debate on if it's morally correct to kill them or not, and if they count as people. We settle on trying not to kill them. We eventually craft a plan:

As we head to Song's house to pick up some weapons, she gets suddenly nauseous, but the moment passes. Louis is concerned, but Song says we should press on. She shows off her weapon storage, and we all pick some: Grayson takes some brass knuckles, and John takes a crossbow.

We all hop in deceased Gerald's van, and Louis's the only one who can reasonably drive us. We all head over to The Vault casino. A few miles away from there, Song gets a sharp pain in her forehead; but a sudden surge of power goes through her, and it goes away. She blinks her eyes momentarily, and for a moment they're purple. John rolls to Investigate that- the last time he saw her with purple eyes was when she had used the magic her mother had given her. Song does some divination with the help of Louis giving her some cards- Queen of Spades (Melody), Ten of Clubs/Ten of Hearts (the twenty people/sacrifices), and the Two of Diamonds (two people with the same power becoming one (Song and her mother)). In short, this magic Song was given by her mother to ensure the ritual was addictive, and she's kinda going through withdrawal atm. She explains what's going on, and how there's a bit of a link now, and wonders what will happen once Melody is dead- Louis says to worry about it when we get there.

We pull up to the catering entrances of the hotel and Grayson manages to get us in, though the guard tells us to hurry up, tossing us disguises. We now look like wait staff <3 No one pays us much attention, and we're lead into a dimly lit hallway. The guard leaves us; Song can sense Melody's presence, and reasons she shouldnt use magic for a bit just in case that alerts her mother.

We head down the hall and see 3 guards patrolling by on the other side of a door that leads to one of the rooms we were in earlier; two walk down the halls back and forth, while one guards the elevator entrance. Markus sends out some bugs to crawl in and paralyze them, and with the way they land, the guards can't get a good look at us as we walk by. We blindfold and tie them up with zipties, just in case. Grayson signals to us to put them in an interrogation room, and Markus steals an elevator keycard from them before we lock them away. Now we can get up to the 3rd floor (melody's office), but we still need the sub-basement key.

Grayson tells us Grant is probably in the camera room at this time, so we head down to the security HQ on this floor. The guards here in this sector work for Grayson, though, so we get by with no issue (Grayson lies and says he's giving his daughter and her friends a tour). We hear Mr Grant from inside: "Just a few more tapes and we can correct this". Markus uses their Jinx ability to try and get the man's key card without hurting him- Mr Grant is busy, telling the guard he's with to "get it back before she notices," bc his job is on the line. Mr Grant decides to do it himself and knocks the guy outta the chair, and Song uses telepathy to see what he's trying to do: turns out he's trying to hide footage of what happened the night before due to our escapades, including footage of the cul-de-sac fight and a cleanup crew (and it turns out the mailman survived). Markus grabs the key card that Mr Grant dropped, and we dip.

The elevator opens up, and we hide quickly in an interrogation room; Melody and Mr Dark appear with guards and they seem to be aware Song is nearby, and so their Plan A can continue. (we piece together that these rooms and this hall can block magical signals, and debate making a break for it). The two beings start looking through the rooms, slowly coming towards us, and Melody seems to be counting on Song being so in magic withdrawal she'll come crawling back to her- but Song's chill rn.

They get close, and we almost enact our plan to trap them inside a room- but then Mr Grant shows up, and seems to want to lead them away from the monitor room/away from where we are. Dark comments plans are going smoothly, and Melody informs Grant of her daughter's presence; he offers to check the cameras, and Melody and Dark turn to leave. John and Louis rock-paper-scissors to see who will cause a distraction to lure them back over, but Song says she can use telepathy instead.

It works, and the two rush over with their guards- Grayson kicks open the door and slams Mr Dark in the face. John grabs the demon with a roll of 14. The guards draw pistols and Markus and Grayson take care of that [Grayson clocks Grant across the skull], while Louis and Song try to grab Melody- Song is unnerved over a lot, and Louis avoids a kick from the mage. John bites Mr Dark, whos face is bleeding black ichor, and flings him into the room after taking a chunk out of his neck. John's face is covered in the black ichor.

We all hold Melody in place save for Song, who keeps rolling low and is having a Time; Grayson moves her outta the way, and bear hugs Melody as a way to grab her (he's visibly trying not to crush her). He tosses her into the room, and John slams the door shut. He spits out some of the demon blood- it tastes disgusting. Song hands him a hankerchief.

The monitor room opens- a guard. Louis shoots him and uses a chair from there to keep the door shut, and we head into the elevator to get to where we need to go: Floor 4B. It takes a while to get there.

[We try to make conversation on the ride, and it's silly and fun. We're friends :-) ]

The elevator opens up to a massive cavern. A path slopes down, and red dust is patterned/drawn into a ritual circle. Several people are digging into stone here, including some controlled townspeople- Sammy's there, which is weird bc Heath said he was at home?? Anyway, Song jams the elevator open so no one else can use it/come down here without going down the shaft. She observes the ritual circle, and it's for the Fate Spell from the book she looked at earlier. She tries to disrupt it as Markus paralyzes some of the townspeople so they stop working (and Louis tries to knock out the rest). Bob Patterson goes by and drops some loose stone into a seemingly bottomless pit, and Louis discovers that since the townspeople are technically already asleep, the knockout plan doesnt work- so down into the pit he goes.

Markus realizes their bugs aren't working. A rumble- dirt falls from the ceiling and a hole opens up, and Mr Dark floats down with Melody. His neck is slowly healing, and he implies that since he made the anti-magic field in that hall, it didnt affect him. Melody yells insults at Song, saying how dare she work against her family, that's not what she was made for! The pain happens again, and Song knows that if she gets close to Melody it'll go away. She fights it.

The townspeople all walk towards the ritual circle, taking their places. John picks up a pickaxe- We all panic, and have an OOC discussion- Song, with the vague psychic link, tries to siphon power from her mother to take the Fate Ritual for herself and use it instead of Melody. Melody gradually realizes what's happening.

Meanwhile Mr Dark tries to get to John, but a roar echoes from the pit- the demon stops. We're going to have company.

Song has enough magical energy, powerful and immense, and she has the ability to use the Fate Spell.

She casts it, wish a wish to undo her mother's plans- the circle starts to glow, and the people get pushed out.

(We hear a noise- Bob Patterson has apparently climbed out of the pit with a hunting knife.)

A creature with a large and white segmented body and red insect eyes crawls out and roars again- a giant centipede.

The last ritual circle lights up, and we're all engulfed with a bright light. -----

The Main Cast are in an open field. It's the afternoon; bugs are chirping, the wind is warm, and no one else is around. We're still in Greenville, in the spot of land where the casino used to be. Song feels faint.

Markus has no cell service, so they can't call their sister to ask about the casino/if this has affected the townspeople's memories. Actually, no one has cell service except for John, who has a flip phone. He goes to hand it to Markus, but then notices the date:

July 20th, 1999.

Notes:

I did not beta read this at all ur getting my pure word vomit

I love heists so much! It's the planning aspect, I think ☆

"Plan Smack-a-Bitch" was so great I love it here

John biting a demon's neck out and then getting covered in black ichor is so incredibly sexy of him /lh

I actually adored our elevator banter <3 John offered to teach Markus to work out bc he didn't understand a social cue and it ended with us all being like "yeah we're found family I think"

GO SONG THATS SO COOL OF YOU. YOUR MOM SUCKS.

like fr she only had you to use u as a power vessel for this spell? What the hell, Melody.

John having a flip phone saves the day yayy!

HEY. HEY???? how is this gonna work oh my god. This is some Monkey's Paw shenanigans. The spell sent us back in time to change fate Ourselves. Cmon /lh

We did the math, right, and in '99 Louis was 11, Markus and Song weren't born yet (Song Finally has a canonical age now), and John... might be around in the woods somewhere? So John might run into himself 👀

Louis immediately began to complain about how now all his suits are outta fashion and John was all "are you serious rn" /lh

My boys so far away from shelby ;-;

Next season is all about Markus! Hell yeah, baby!
