## BOOTHILL x READER ★
🤍 ﹒ HEADCANONS ! ! . .
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
- notes ̽ ۪⠀written before his release + gn reader huhu. yall i swear ill get to the lcb requests but im brainrotting too fucking much right now boothill is colonizing my mind so enjoy these thoughts i had and will throw into the tags
︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶༉‧₊˚.
He's a little spoon and NOBODY can convince me otherwise period.
We know damn well hes touch starved. So ofcourse he'd wanna be nuzzled up inbetween your chest and chin
Will teach you how to ride a horse. He definitely has a favourite (his name is Sebastian 🌚🌚)
Very protective over him though. You will not ride on that horse until you are months into the relationship
He gave you another horse to practice riding on and an extra horse incase the other "knocks your socks off" ... Whatever that means
You named them Yee and Haw and he was so conflicted with his emotions that he considered getting a routine check up on his body
Will tease you if you completely fuck up immediately.
He grabs your hands to gesture on things you should be wary about while being on the back of a horse, knowing it'll mess your brain up and lead you to not pay attention to a single thing coming out of his mouth
On the other hand if you're able to handle it in a short amount of time, he'll start flirting with you
"I'm doing it, Boo!" "Nice work, honeybunch. Think ya can manage ridin' somethin' else?" "Dude"
It's one or the other. You will not escape the Boothill down bad programm
Boothill also acts like a himbo to mess around with you.
On another note, you called him Bootyhill once and he's still shook up. Whether /pos or /neg is up to interpretation
While we're on the topic of nick/pet names, he calls you things you've never heard of before .
Or even if you did, they're things you expected never to be called 😭
What the fuck is a doodlebug Boothill
Type of man to get flustered when you flirt back. He just starts bugging out
Will play it cool though, but the faint blue on his cheeks says otherwise
Also a fan of headpats. No, he's not ashamed. No, he will not tell you.
Expanding on the no shame, Boothill takes it to the extreme
No filter, no mask, no nothing. Touchy EVERYWHERE you go
Even if he can't really feel it, he just feels more at ease when you both are near eachother or touch one another. Man wants to protect his partner, after all
It dosen't matter if you're able to protect yourself, the gesture just makes him feel more comfortable and calm
Also has a hair pulling kink woah. Let's keep it sfw everybody
Forehead kisses ❤️ or just kisses anywhere on his head in general. Kiss behind his ears and he will overheat
He let's you play with his hair<3 It's one of his favourite passtimes with you
Braid it, tie it in a ponytail, give him buns, pigtails, curl them, decorate them with hairpins, clip bows in his strands it don't matter PLAY WITH HIS HAIR ⁉️
He relaxes SO MUCH it's insane. Genuinely just one finger goes into that hair of his and he melts
This plays into the little spoon factor
You'd tease him about it but he takes pride in it 😭
Has a weird obsession with biting. If you complain that it hurts he goes "What, want me to smooch the pain away?" and he does this fuckass face :3 while you're just staring at him dead in the eye (you say yes btw)
If you're ticklish, he's hell for you
Tickles you in the most random times possible.
And you know it's even WORSE with those cold ass metalic hands
You're cuddling? The sides of your torso are not safe. You're currently occupied with an activity involving your hands? Your armpits are not safe either. He's laying on your bare stomache face down? He starts blowing raspberries.
You know damn well he uses the feathers of his hat 😭
Sticks it up your nose to make you sneeze too. Usually to wake you up or some shit
You could have the most volcano eruption alert level 5 sneeze and he'd still say "Aww, ya sneeze like a kitten!"
One last note this man is a whiney loser bottom not sorry
Tumblr media
the word ill is in boothill for a reason the way im laying in bed all sweaty ANYway 🌚😵😵😵😵
ૢ་༘࿐ thank you for reading ! Ⳋ᧙

hi hello don’t mind me dropping into the inbox but like. If you take requests or suggestions, I am still foaming at the mouth over your fic with Solar and Spaniard (computer) /pos and your writing style for t-content is just *chefs kiss* so like. If you could/want to do anything with ForkFace, or BloodMoon as the lee, I would be eternally grateful and quite possibly die on the spot. /pos Those two are my absolute top favorites right now, and there’s not enough t-content about either of them (especially ForkFace- so far I’ve only found Sunsets adorable art of Ronty(ruined!monty) and Forky) and I am desperate enough to work past the violent embarrassment of asking someone about potentially writing a t-fic to get my fix of either Lee!BloodMoon or Lee!ForkFace, either will do ^^
I am so Sorry if I made you uncomfortable/you don’t take fic-requests/you aren’t interested in writing them/I came off as demanding or waaaaay too pushy- I never intent to come off these ways with anyone I ask, and I am so so so sorry if I have elicited any kind of negative emotions from you with this /srs /gen. I just really love the first fic and I’m still not over it like 6 hours later- /pos
-Brite (I call myself Brite after an OC of mine, StarBrits =w=)
helo!!! sjfhfkjs nawww-I'm glad you liked my fic that much!! been trying to get used to writing tkl fics so stuff like this is a confidence booster! and while I'm not taking requests of any kind at the moment, i will say that I have a couple ideas for both lees you've mentioned! I can't promise that I'll write them/write them anytime soon-but know that it's a possibility! because-well-Forky's my favorite character and Sunset has converted me into loving Bloodmoon as well sjfhsjf- and it's okay! you were very sweet in asking and i thank you for not being too demanding! again, I'm not taking requests at the moment, but i'll keep this in mind! and thank you for the positivity for my fic! i appreciate it a lot! ^w^

I return!!! It's afternoon here, I've been lazing about. I did manage to sleep a bit! And I ate a granola bar today. I might go to the bar tonight for Halloween, but I'm not sure.
I'm sure you'll be able to help in time. I believe in yall, even though it's difficult. You've got your troubled superhuman, I've got mine. We are... oddly in this together. If there's anything I could potentially do, please let me know! There probably isn't but hey, the offer stands. 
And like, yea. More often than not I actually don't want anyone to hurt or feel bad, and I will try and help. I just won't know exactly what's going on. There are very few people I actually want to hurt. Like. It's not that I don't care about anyone, it's that I just can't make connections about emotions very well. (Most of what I know about others emotions and our own comes from Steven Universe oddly enough. That show is how I learned a lot.)
Anyway, a lighter topic that involves me absolutely losing my mind, as you prompted me to do so. You have asked for this. (I'll save questions about stuff for tomorrow, I think. Halloween is  happy day after all!! For me at least, and I don't feel like dealing with being dizzy for thinking about my programming so... bleh.) That means YOU get to hear about my disaster relationship! I apologize ahead of time. This is probably the most I've talked about it openly for obvious reasons. You asked for this.
-----
So, things with Homelander have been weird and complicated since the day he waltzed in here, which is probably expected. It was weird because we'd never even really shown interest in his source, but, well, apparently the universe had other plans. And I... mean that genuinely. At first I tried to ignore the strange, angry man who I disagreed with (and still do) on several topics and such, but that's about when my YouTube and tumblr recommends feed started to make me look at him all the time for... some cosmic joke I don't know. So I begrudgingly accepted the new member of the system, who proceeded to like. Somewhat attach himself to me. Which makes sense but still.
What's difficult in particular, besides the obvious, is that he's functionally our anger holder, and can't really come near the front without the body getting dizzy. (No others have this issue, it's just him). I didn't really start feeling anything until like... its complicated.
Objectively I should have hated him. But 1: this is one of the most traumatized men I have ever seen and my complexes won't let that be, and 2: I am a simple man. Someone much larger and stronger talks down to me while still being affectionate and protective, lightly bullying me (we're assholes to eachother, its mutual.), using me as an arm rest, constantly talking about how he's above me while trying to bury his face into my neck... (that's just some things augh), and I'm basically just. Gone. I am a useless and predictable twink and I admit that.
As you've seen, the protectivity goes both ways, as you've already seen, to the point of me wanting to maul fans of his source media at times because how DARE they contribute to his objectification, and being mad at myself for being with him because how dare I (which he's called me a dumbass for on many occasions.)
BASICALLY it's messy, neither of us know what the fuck we're doing or how the hell this happened, but it's happening dammit. (/pos)
Hgjggfgvsd sorry,,,,, yall asked for it, I hope it helped you or did something for yall. ^^"
I'm gonna log off for a bit, may the rest of yalls Ween be Hallowed!
-🦌👁
HI! Sorry that we're only getting to this now, we've been a smidge busy haha. But all of that sounds fun, and I'm proud of you for getting some sleep and for eating something.
And we are in this together, honestly there isn't much *to* do. A lot of it is just deconstructing his negative self image and helping him learn that like, there is nothing wrong with his body and there's nothing wrong with OUR body either. I know that's scary and hard for him, especially when that idea was directly reinforced to him not that long ago. but we're working. Same for you! Let us know if there's ANYTHING we can do to help, we're here!
And we are VERY good at appearing empathetic, we have spent a long time studying people to better understand the way they express emotion. We're very good at mimicking it, and we're also very good at saying the right things to sound like we care. We've put a lot of work into appearing as normal emotionally as possible!
Honestly, I think your relationship sounds very lovely, and I hope that both of you only continue to get better. And continue to support each other to get better. I also understand in some ways, the appeal of someone who is kinda mean but still genuinely considerate, that's one of our favorite types. don't apologize for the rambling, i adore it. Your relationship dynamic sounds very sweet and I'm glad you're learning together, how to be a person.
Sometimes when I'm writing these I find myself feeling as though I am drafting a letter to a friend at war or something, (/pos) and it's very silly. I hope this letter finds you well dear anon!

Losing my mind at how Hoagie is just labeled as lost in the sauce cuz yeah he is. Literally and metaphorically actually/pos/silly
Okay so. I've got a lot to add lemme just uhhh
TEXT IN RED MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERING STUFF
I just know Wally had the worst time in school 😭 no one paid attention to why he wasn't doing well they just knew he wasn't doing well so they scolded him even though it turned out he was doing horribly because of his disabilities (aka he experienced shit loads of ableism and thought it was deserved because he didn't know what was wrong with himself either)
Hoagie and Abby are both the gifted children who get praised all the time but also won't be listened to because "you're just a kid, what do you know" 💔 Hoagie has a lesser understanding of social cues so he tends to ramble regardless of how the others around him feel about it, but Abby is so worried about how she appears to other people that she just stays quiet and if you do manage to make her feel comfortable enough to ramble, she'll apologize profusely for doing it and if that provokes a negative response, will completely shut down and stop talking for hours, maybe even days
Hoagie does his very few stims in private because his grandma would always slap him for doing it so he tends to do only simple stims like leg shaking or pen clicking when nervous and in private he'll fidget a ton with the one singular fidget toy he owns which is those liquid thingys that you turn around and watch do cool things. He also hums or sings to himself in private. Although he doesn't understand social cues well when it comes to people he doesn't know, he's learned to tell the very basics of what his friends are feeling and when he senses them feeling negatively towards him in any way, just like Abby, will completely shut down. Instead of trying to tough it out, though, he'll just leave the room. Go to his own room. Sit with a blanket around him and fidget a while in uncomfortable silence. He has really strong rejection sensitivity so if he infodumps and he thinks his friends aren't listening you probably aren't gonna be seeing him for the rest of the day
Although Wally is the exception for him not only because they're best friends but Wally has such high empathy he can't help but pick up on how his friend is feeling and will actually have a nervous breakdown if he doesn't check in on him once. He's learned that Hoagie experiences anger that is completely out of character for him if he is forced to speak when he's too overwhelmed to speak (Hoagie masks negative emotions so when you see him growling and huffing at you, you know you've done something wrong cuz he never does that), so he usually checks in with him with simple yes or no questions so that he can just nod his head. He tends to just pop in and find him sitting in the corner with his blanket and fidget toy and he'll ask "are you okay" (it's always "no") and it's usually followed by offers. Offers like, "would you like a hug?", "do you want me to sit beside you?" and "would you like me to play with your hair?" (He really likes when people play with his hair cuz he only shows his hair to people he trusts)
UHHH ALSO Kukis meltdowns are so violent because people will let her get to the point where she needs to be so violent. Her parents tried to force her into some of the only clothing she reacts badly to and she got so overwhelmed she began screaming, biting at the sleeves and even managing to tear the outfit apart before rolling around on the ground and hitting herself on the head. What did her parents do? Send her to a mental hospital. Got diagnosed with BPD - and although she does have it, she absolutely did not describe BPD to them when they asked why she was there. She had a meltdown when she got there, too. She was away from home and terrified so she wailed all throughout the night.
Speaking of mental hospitals, they've ALL been there. At least once. Nigel has been there 2 times, Hoagie has been there 1 time, Kuki has been there a whooping 9 times, Wally has been there 3 times, and Abby has been there 1 time. This only applies to visits related to autism and there's been instances of a few being there for mental health related concerns but that's for another headcanon post.
Nigel got sent twice for the same reason, and it was his paranoia. His father really cares for him and does understand his autism, but unfortunately doesn't understand the paranoia and just wants what's best so he sent him there when it got so bad he felt that it'd put him in danger (for some reason). His experience there was okay, he didn't really mind it aside from the "why am I here, I need to get back to the Treehouse!"
Because Hoagies family is far from considerate, they made a horrible environment for him one time at the dinner table while he was trying to mentally prepare for a test and a KND mission all at the same time and he LOST IT. He first pushed his plate off the table and banged his head on it while begging for them to shut up. When Lydia reacted with aggression, he began screaming and throwing anything he could get his hands on at everyone within the room. At some point he picked up a fork and threw that in someone's direction and his mother began to react with aggression, which as expected, caused the already abnormal meltdown to get WORSE and he ripped apart the wall by slamming his head into it until it broke and then using his hands to tear it further. The police were called by Tommy (the only sane person in that moment) and he went to the mental hospital right after getting stitches because he actually busted his head open during his head banging. He always thanks Tommy for doing that because he genuinely didn't want to react that way. Hoagie brings him cool rocks to thank him because Tommy is also autistic and, as many very young autistics do, he collects rocks. Admittedly Tommy is traumatized by that whole thing and Hoagie feels awful about it. Tommy usually just says "oh but you didn't mean to so it's okay!! At least your friends didn't see, right?" Which actually just makes him feel worse because he knows that if Kuki saw, she'd also have a meltdown, if Wally saw, he'd be in constant agony for the next month and traumatized as well, and if Abby saw, she'd become overly protective of him and have Nigel-level paranoia for the next week. He already feels bad enough because he's Wally's FP (he has BPD yes leave me alone I'm projecting) and it happened so unexpectedly so when Tommy popped by to let them know what happened Wally LOST IT. He cried every night he was in the hospital and didn't eat for the first two days. He blamed himself and was also panicking over not having the person he relies on for almost everything. They all agreed not to tell Hoagie that had happened while he was gone but he speculated something had happened with him just because of his attachment to him and because he had eye bags from his crying and his voice was raspy for a few days when he got home. All of this because his family doesn't know how to react to his autism...
Kuki has too many experiences there to mention honestly. The poor girl
Wally was there for two different reasons. The first two were because of his meltdowns and the third was because he has moodswings and one time they got so bad that he attempted to make the decision of jumping out of the window to "end his suffering" (he couldn't even die from that height, he'd just suffer a bunch of broken bones) anddddd his mother managed to catch him by the legs when he tried to and hauled him to the mental hospital for what they thought was suicidal ideation but was actually just him being so panicked that he was imagining physical pain of which was so severe that he was, in fact, suffering, and thought that if he jumped, he'd be sent to the hospital for treatment. Although he suffers from those thoughts (he doesn't tell anyone...) that absolutely was not apart of them 😭
Abby was there once by choice. She felt like everything was falling apart and, quote, "for my safety, I need to be put on hold at the mental institution." She felt confused the whole time but the stay there ended up being beneficial and she learned that she should start seeking help when she feels overstimulated. At school she usually is allowed to be left alone in a quiet room for 10-15 minutes. It's very helpful. She shared that with Wally and it helps him too, when he can remember it...
Sector v autism headcanons. Because...well.
Nigel- comorbid OCD. Has severe behavioral problems and paranoia. Comes across awkward and controlling. Control is a huge factor for him to feel secure. Doesn't understand social cues and, in fact, thinks social expectations are stupid and oppressive (and he's right). Easily overstimulated (part of why he hates theme parks). Huge on special interests, unfortunately, his special interest is his work. Very preoccupied with morals and has a tendency to think in black and white.
Hoagie- stereotypical "savant", hyper intelligent but not good with social cues. Gets lost in the sauce. Out of everyone in sector v, hoagie infodumps the most by FAR. they don't really have sensory issues and they don't stim that much. Doesn't consider that other people might not understand the stuff theyre talking about. Clumsy and not always super aware of her surroundings.
Kuki- comorbid ADHD. Unable to mask, but wouldn't want to anyway. Doesn't pick up or understand social cues, lives in her own reality. Sensory problems with food and clothing, but isn't actually that much of a picky eater- there's just some textures she CANNOT stand (baked beans!). Has poor emotional regulation, prone to meltdowns. Low empathy. Does almost constant physical stims. She has an elevated sense of smell and hearing. HUGE on special interests, of course. She will NOT listen if the conversation isn't about something she's interested in.
Wally- comorbid intellectual and developmental disabilities, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalcula. Impulsive and brash, doesn't understand why it might be frowned upon to be loud and interrupt people. He's in remedial classes and has an IEP, which makes it hard for him to get into colleges later. Very picky eater and has sensory issues with what clothes he wears. Stims by singing little songs. Very hyperactive. Hyper empathetic and imprints on inanimate objects. VERY prone to meltdowns.
Abby- she's the overcompensating type who's able to mask very well but that doesn't mean it's easy for her to. She's very afraid of being seen as weird or dorky. She learns "the rules" and is great at following them, but gets thrown off if the rules change. This is why it's sometimes easier for her to say less. Loves lists and is a completionist. She's hyper empathetic. Schoolwork is naturally easy for her and she's good at making objective decisions. She doesn't seem like it, but she gets easily overwhelmed and needs more time than other people to decompress. Picky eater, but will try anything once. Uses music to self regulate.

charles xavier smut, where he’s jealous because one of the x-men is in love w the reader (they don’t know it) & is constantly flirting with them. established relationship please <3
Tumblr media
Seething
Genre: smut
Charles Xavier x Mutant!Reader
Summary: Erik is continuously flirting with you and your jealous partner, Charles must show you to whom you belong - reader has the ability to sense the emotions of others.
Word count, 2.09k
Warnings: smut (obvs), possessiveness, swearing, unprotected sex, vaginal penetration.
"Is that a new dress Y/n? It's stunning", Erik grinned at you from his seat across from you in the plane and you smiled back. Obviously you weren't a huge fan of Erik after everything that happened in Cuba, but Erik was your friend once, and you saw this mission as an opportunity for him to be your friend once again.
  "Thank you, I've had it for quite a bit. Charles got it for me for my birthday one year", Erik nodded at you, listening intently.
  Your eyes glanced from him to Charles. Of course Charles was staring daggers at him. Obviously because the tension was still there after Cuba.
  "He must have fantastic taste. Your figure is lovely y/n" Erik smirked and you smiled in return.
  Soon enough, you felt Charles sit down next to you, he was angry, you could feel it. Cuba really ruined his relationship with Erik.
  "So, Y/n, have you been seeing anyone?", Erik tilted his head and immediately you felt negative energy pouring from Charles. You held his hand.
  "Charles and I have been together for some time. Shortly after Cuba we got together", You smiled. You felt Charles' anger dwindle, and you felt a negative emotion come from Erik.
  This went on for a while, a series of charming words coming from Erik, each of his compliments forcing Charles' grip to grow tighter on your hand.
Finally the plane came to a halt and Charles stormed off. Erik slowly left. Stretching, you stood up and walked behind Hank, Logan walked behind you.
"Is the professor okay?", he asked quietly so Hank wouldn't hear him. You shrugged slightly.
"He's angry, at Erik", you said. You didn't need a mutant ability to know that much.
  "Any idea why?", Logan asked with a smug grin, you nearly rolled your eyes, you thought it was beyond obvious what was going on with Charles.
  "Well Charles hasn't been very cool with Erik ever since Cuba, when he abandoned us, took Raven with him, and sort of paralyzed Charles.", you told Logan. Truly you'd assumed that being from the future, he'd know Charles wasn't such a fan of Erik.
  Logan chuckled quietly and shook his head. "That's not it", his reaction earned a raised eyebrow from you. "Magneto is all over you. That's the issue here". Logan told you.
  You just laughed in return. He was full of it.
———————
  "Hm, the motel rooms aren't half bad", you examined the room you were in while Charles and you kicked off your shoes, just one bed, a cute sofa, a mini fridge, and blankets that appeared to be very clean.
  Charles gave you only half a nod, you could still feel his anger. You felt a pang of sadness in your chest at the lack of response from him. You'd done nothing wrong, Erik had done nothing wrong yet either.
  "Charles my love, what is going on with you-", you hadn't the luxury of continuing your sentence as Charles cut you off by turning to face you and pushing you against the door behind you with his body.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?", his face was inches away from yours. "Allowing Erik to flirt with you for so long, accepting his flirtations even", Charles scoffed, his eyes looking down to meet yours.
"Flirt with me? It's been ages since I've seen him, he was once my friend, we were just chatting", you didn't understand what Charles wasn't on about. You just understood he was angry. Erik wasn't flirting, was he? Perhaps Logan wasn't full of it.
"Just chatting. Priceless. He's basically in love with you Y/n", Charles' voice was deep and dripping with possessiveness. You'd be lying if you said it didn't cause you to feel a warmth deep inside you.
"Charles, Erik is not in love with me. He must know by now I'm in love with you.", you spoke quietly. You could feel Charles' anger grow smaller with your words.
"For someone with the ability to sense the emotions of others, you're not so great at sensing when asshole war criminals are in love with you". His words made you want to smile despite their offensive appearance.
  It wasn't often Charles showed raw emotion around you, he had a habit of hiding away from you and Hank whenever he was.. feeling. You loved the vulnerability he was showing, the trust, that turned you on almost as much as his jealousy and possessiveness.
You placed both hands on either side of his cheeks and smiled at him softly. You ignored the growing wetness between your thighs as he gently placed his hands around your wrists, staring back at him.
"Charles Xavier. There will never ever be anyone who will be loved by me half as much as I love you. Nobody would ever make me happier, or make me feel better than you", you could practically feel Charles' heart swell, but you could also sense his arousal.
Charles' hands tightened around your wrists, he pushed them up above your head and against the door, leaning torwards you, his face was barely enjoy from yours, his breath was tickling your lips and his eyes looked down at yours, filled with lust.
"i'm well aware no one else will make you feel as good as I have. You're all mine angel, right?", Charles asked. Your breath got caught in your throat, similarly to how Charles didn't show much emotion, it also wasn't often that he would act like this, pure jealousy and arousal and taking it all out on you just the way you wanted. You nodded your head in response to his question.
He shifted the position of his head, his lips just grazing yours. You tilted your head so that you could kiss him and he pulled back. "Use your words my darling".
  "I'm all yours, I promise", you whispered to him. He used one hand to continue holding your wHis hand held your chin gently, tilting your head up to meet his gaze, and he pressed his lips firmly against yours.
You whimpered softly against his lips, Charles let go of your hands so he could but his on your wrist. Your hands found their place in his long disheveled hair, brushing it out of his face and tangling it between your fingers.
  Charles pulled back slightly and looked down at your breasts through the top of your dress.
"Erik wasn't incorrect you know, you are stunning in that dress. Unfortunately however, I want it off". Charles' hands held the bottom of your dress, waiting for any form of consent to take it off.
  He was quickly pulling your dress up and over your head when you nodded. You unbuttoned his shirt as he unclaspex your bra, then you both shed your top's in unison.
  "Go lay on the bed my sweet love", he hummed and you quickly complied. The bed creaked quietly, you hoped that it wouldn’t later alert the person in the neighbouring suit, which was Eric.
The pillows were soft against the skin of your neck when you rested your head on them. Charles hand grazed your thigh as he stood next to the bed, looking down st you. “Extraordinary”, his grip tightened on your thigh before he moved his hand up, taking hold of the waist band of your panties and pulling them down slowly, you lifted your hips to help him out.
“Y/n”, he got your attention as he removed his belt, then unbuttoned his pants. You hummed in response and he smiled, “I love you” he said.
“I love you as well”, you blushed and turned your head away only for him to turn it so you were looking at him.
“You’re beyond beautiful my darling girl”. Your face was red and your cunt was wet.
You nodded, “and I’m all yours”.
Charles bit his lip and kicked his pants off as well as his boxer shorts, then climbed over you, hovering above yourself, holding himself up with his elbows that were on either side of your shoulders, trapping you in.
Your hands rested on his waist as he kissed you, his tongue darting out to lick your lip and you let him explore your mouth, he’d hum every time you flinched or whimpered and that only made you more aroused.
He used his knee to nudge your thighs apart from one another, you got the hint and spread them on your own. He placed his cock on your cunt, allowing you to feel the weight of it. You couldn’t help but grind your hips forward, desperate to feel him inside you.
Charles’ cock was beautiful. It wasn’t exactly ‘large’ but it was above average, and it was thicker than average but just barely, he filled you perfectly.
“Do you want my cock angel?”, you were nodding before the words had left his mouth. He moved to rest on his knees, slowly teasing his cock on the outside of your cunt, grazing your clit with the top of his cock “Come on, you know better Y/n, use your words sweet girl”.
“Please Charles, my love, I need you inside me, I want your cock.”, He pouted at you with fake sympathy, his thumb pressed onto your clit, slow circles forcing you to arch your back and whine, loud and drawn out. You knew your sounds had an affect on him, the way he’d grown under his breath in response, and the way you could feel his cock pulsing against your heat.
“Who do you belong to sweet love?”, Charles asked, he barely nudged the tip of his cock into you, holding your hips so you couldn’t push him in further, you whimpered, he was driving you mad.
“You Charles. I belong to you and nobody else. I’m yours”, tears pricked at your eyes from how desperate you were for him and he groaned.
“All mine”, he said quietly, before he slowly thrusted into you, his fingertips digging into the soft skin of your hips.
You felt like you stopped being able to breathe for a moment before moaning loudly, perhaps loud enough for Erik to hear you.
When you’d adjusted to Charles’ size he pulled out slightly before thrusting back in, using your hips as handles to pull you back and forth, as well as to stabilize himself.
You were moaning loud, and soon Charles was as well, you were sure Erik could hear at least you, and at this point you didn’t care if he did.
Charles moved one hand to hold himself up so he could lean down to kiss your neck while he fucked you mercilessly. His beard scratched your neck and it stung in the best way possible.
Charles shifted his hips so he was hitting your g-spot over and over again, that combined with him sucking on your neck was throwing you into ecstasy. And you were sure you’d have the hickeys to prove it tomorrow.
“Maybe if I mark you up well enough, Erik will get it through his thick skull that he should stay away from what’s mine”, Charles nipped on your skin and you moaned into his ear, encouraging him to speed up.
“Rub yourself for me pretty angel”, he groaned into your ear and it didn’t take you more than a few seconds to obey, your hand reaching down to your clit and rubbing tight fast circles. You squeezed your eyes shut as your back arched against Charles’ chest.
“Charles, oh fuck, I’m close”, you groaned, your free hand sliding up to Charles’ hair, tangling once again. He’d never admit it but it ruined him when you’d pull his hair.
“Come on my love, cum with me.”, he moaned into your ear. You felt heat surging through your body and suddenly your vision went white, you’re whole body tensed up and your eyes leaked tears from the overwhelming amount of stimulation.
Your cunt clenching around Charles had him moaning loud, before he was stuttering his hips and filling you with his cum.
He finally layed next to you after his high settled. You both caught your breath and you looked over at him, admiring how pretty he looked, sweaty, red cheeks and messy hair.
“Charles”, you got his attention. “There truly will never be someone I love half as much as you. You’re beyond beautiful and kind and intelligent. I love every part of you”, you whispered. He blushed at your words.
“I love every bit of you as well angel”

ahhh you're the first person i've seen talk about how nd-coded c!george is!! it's such a shame that people gloss over cc!george's acknowledged inability to articulate well and his difficulty in expressing emotions bleeding into his character and then start expressing ridiculously ableist takes. it makes me kinda uncomfortable because i dunno george isn't really playing a proper character like dream, wilbur, tommy etc so it feels like people are criticizing the cc and not the character. do you have any more headcanons?
hi! yeah, it really is a shame people dont acknowledge how neurodivergent the entire dream team is, so.. have some nd! dream team headcanons >:)))
george likes pressure, so when the trio would cuddle theyd always stack on each other with george in the middle
sapnap has no volume control. hes either mumbling or yelling in the overworld, while.in the nether he always yells but its neuters itself cus of how loud the nether is
george stimms by eating!! its usually bread. bread is good.
so dream and george have matching diamond jewelry (george's earrings and dreams choker) and when theyre away from each other they switch it, so you can always tell cus george always holds the diamond charm while dream tugs at the earrings.
bad has really long hair (i swear if i see a single bald joke i will eat yalls kneecaps- /hj) and he usually keeps them up in braids so they sway behind him and when he walks a certain way they rhytmically sway behind him and its a great stim. it also works with ponytails of any kind
this is unrelated to the headcanons but i am filled with so much rage i want to scream (/pos??? certainly not /neg) cus im listening to the tree on the hill from the lightning thief. i have no idea why this song fills me with so much emotions but if anyone would like a headcanon thread on my pjo au centered around dream team please tell me i want to talk.about them so badly please im beg- (/lh)
dream and george rocky cuddle :)
ad to the previous point: i dont know if its the actual name, but im talking about where they hug and rock together
george always makes sure to kick sapnap when he unironically calls himself dumb (dont call yourself dumb kids, it ruins your god complex- /hj)
george cant decode emotions from faces only, except when it comes to a) dream and sapnap (he can tell a big portion of them) b) when its pain on one of the hunters faces
george doesnt understand the concept of gender. like yknow the "what are your pronouns, knuckles?" comic?? yeah, thats george.
sometimes the team will ask george to call them something completely different like "capybara" or "epiphany" and george will just switch without missing a beat. they also experiment with pronouns with george cus hell call you "ketchup" without finding it weird
sword fighting is one of sapnap's special interest :)
both sapnap and george are semi-verbal
georges special interests include but arent limited to: fungi, tea, knive combat, archery
george and sapnap will stay up all night to let sapnap talk his heart out
ok so i headcanon that dsmp! rat is actually like a tamed wolf instead of a small dog, and shes bads service dog
sapnap grew up without knowing human western concept of gender exists cus bad forgot it existed and so did skeppy
anyway theyre all neurodivergent, queer and trans, cus i make the fucking rules :)
hope these are comprehensible <3

hey!! i hope it’s still alright but may i get an obey me match up!
pronoun: she/they - demigirl.
sexuality: pansexual.
pos: passionate - can simply ramble whatever is my hyperfixation such as lore and theories - quite talkative. creative and imaginative - often daydream - the idealist. a lot of empathy - compassionate.
neg: extremely insecure- a little bit cynical about life. a huge people pleaser and often times cannot say no. very dirty minded. quite lazy - procrastinator. really emotional.
hobbies: any form of art [ have an animation degree and hoping to go into character design ], listening to music, roleplaying, reading manga, cooking, knitting, making theories, writing, daydreaming, singing [ a lot of karaoke ], video games
fav colours: red or yellow
i am perfectly fine with anyone!
thank you!
I match you with Beelzebub!
Beel would love listening to you ramble about all of your hyperfixations. Doesn't matter what they are or how much he knows about them, he will listen. As a bonus, he would most likely try and get into the things you talk about so that he can understand you more and join in on the conversation. It also helps that he isn't super talkative himself, so he's fine letting you fill that silence. Basically, y'all are that "super talkative/likes hearing them talk" meme. Loves hearing about any ideas/daydreams you might have and would even help you flesh them out if you want to make something out of them. He's glad you're empathetic and compassionate since that isn't something you'd usually find in the Devildom. You're a rarity compared to the masses of demons, and he's glad to have you.
If you're ever feeling insecure, Beel is a great hype-man. He's very honest and truthful, plus he's super blunt, so he has no problem telling you about all of your wonderful attributes. Belphie is also very cynical towards life (and most other things) so Beel has some experience in dealing with that sort of thing. He doesn't really see it as a bad thing though, it's just the way you are. He's also great at helping you with your people pleasing. Demons can and will take advantage of your kindness, but not with Beel around. No one would dare go after someone under his care. And if someone were stupid enough to ignore him, he would take care of them. Beel wouldn't mind you being dirty-minded. Most of his brothers are, and he's not exactly innocent either, so he doesn't find it all that weird or strange. He'd also be great help with your laziness and procrastination. Beel is quite active himself, so he'd often offer you to go exercise with him. Similarly, he'd offer to help out with any work you might be procrastinating on since he'd hate to see you fall behind. Also, he doesn't find being emotional as a bad thing. Even if he hides it well, Beel is super emotional himself, so he's glad that y'all have that in common.
As for our hobbies, he'd be super into them. Like I said earlier, he's very supportive of any and all artistic stuff. That goes for anything from knitting to writing to singing. He may not be the best at it himself, but he loves watching you when you get into the zone. Beel doesn't listen to music regularly, but he'll gladly listen to anything you recommend or put on when y'all are together. He has roleplayed a couple times (personal hc of mine), so he'd totally be down to try it with you. Levi has given him quite a bit of manga to read, so he's well versed in that area. Same with video games; his faves are RPGs. Obviously, he loves that you love cooking, and he will give you lots of ideas on what to make next in the hopes that you'll make his faves.

Hey TT! Wishing well to you and yours! I just wanted to drop an appreciation note for you.
I'm the kind of person who can't watch things without engaging, and tellywood is the kinda guilty pleasure I can't really share with my friends because woh sab exclusively intelligent, highbrow, foreign cinema hi dekhte hain, which is fun, but I often need a break from that kinda content for my stressbusting. So when I watch lighter rom-com type stuff, or desi content, I tend to turn online for the social aspect of it all. But hey bhagwan, I've been in problematic fandoms before but ITV ka toh next hi level hai. Khoon jal jaata hai, in this cesspool of toxicity and misogyny. I am old enough to remember when IF used to be the main fandom space, and it used to piss me off and turn me off of entire shows. And aaj, IF has become the saner of the spaces looking at the asinine stuff on Twitter and Instagram...
Often, I'm not put off by the acts of the characters themselves- to make stories progress, occasional fuckups can be accepted in fiction. I don't love it, but I'm okay acknowledging it's problematic (and often criminal irl) and moving on from it. Asli gussa toh response dekh kar aata hai, which more often than not defends harassment, character assassination, and abuse of the FL by the ML just because he is 'in pain' or 'misunderstood' or has a 'heart of gold' or the FL is doing something mildly inconvenient which made her deserving of the disproportionate retribution. And this support comes from a demographic that's predominantly young girls- toh gusse ke saath saath fikar bhi ho jaati hai. Mission stressbusting: failed. Sometimes, reading all that makes me majorly second guess my own emotions, but then I see 'feminist' thrown about as an abuse and I remember that fandoms suck.
And then I found your blog a few years ago! And it's been jannat for my tellywood watching experience ever since. I love the fact that you watch and enjoy this content with us, while not shying away from your feminism, and calling out even characters you like for crossing lines, irrespective of their gender (but lbr, men cross way more lines in these shows). I so appreciate the balance you maintain here, and honestly this blog has become my one stop shop for desi content, be it for recommendations or discussions or opinions. Ab toh wohi dekhti hoon jo aap recommend kar dein, warna yeh saara space kaafi intimidating hai. One day, I shall find the mental fortitude to seal myself off from all non-Tumblr online fandoms and save myself the BP issues that come with it, tab tak ke liye thanks for being an oasis of rationality in this madness.
Love always ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dearest lovely anon,
Thank you so so much for this wonderful message. So much of it resonated with me, and is why I created this blog in the first place. I too have IRL friends who don’t watch Tellywood and I just needed to get all these opinions outta me; but I was also so tired of the IF model where there’s too many people talking at once, but not having the conversations I wanted, and Twitter toh was never my forte coz brevity really isn’t my thing....... When I made the blog I wasn’t expecting it to turn into what it ultimately has, coz I felt so alone in the fandom, that no one was as obsessed the way I was (definitely waaaaaay more than the average watcher, but less than the online Tellywood fandom), but also enraged and angrily critical at the constant chutiyaapa that was even in my very favourite shows. Yes I really hate the misogyny and toxicity on the ML/families parts, but I also really hate the mostly one-dimensional way Tellywood FLs are written, with almost negligible complexity to them. So I just made this a space for me to go on my rambles (whether positive or negative) and to my surprise and delight, people responded to it. So as always, I guess this is just a hugeass thanks from me to everyone who likes and comments and sends asks, coz y’all really keep me wanting to keep on doing this. 🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰✨✨✨
PS - I’m sure that there’s good stuff out there that I’m not watching (coz I’m me - a lazy POS who has to be in a VERY specific mood to watch something) so do consider checking out the recs my followers send in as well. Just coz I’m willfully missing out on quality content rn coz of my dheentness doesn’t mean it won’t be up your alley either! 😘😘😘

Personal.  Also like... all the trigger warnings, I’m out of spoons to figure out tags for all this shit. No reblogs please.  This is just a diary post because writing to myself never does any good, but writing in public sometimes helps.
My mother is the most emotionally unavailable person I’ve ever met.  I know the reasons why.  Her father was an abusive POS.  I’m not sure if there was physical abuse because she rarely talks about it, but it wouldn’t surprise me.  There was significant emotional abuse, including that the man had six children but wanted to pretend he lived in a household with none.  She wasn’t allowed to ever publicly express emotion in her own home.  This has manifested as an adult as an inability to understand or express her own emotions, and a profound discomfort with emotional displays or emotionally-impacting negative events of any kind. She will go out of her way to pretend things that very much happened did not happen, because she can’t cope with it.
I have spent a large share of my adult life trying to reconcile how wholly inadequate this was from the standpoint of her child, and how it’s in turn fucked me up, with the fact that she’s an abuse survivor and that isn’t her fault.  
It’s hard to have a mother that has never and will never be there for you, to know you grew up having to cope with literally every last fucking hurt on your own, that you never learned to be excited about anything, or how to share things or ask for help, and NOT blame her.  And then comes the ocean of guilt because blaming abuse survivors is bad.  But these things can be true at the same time: her inadequacies profoundly impacted me and continue to do so this day, and the abuse wasn’t her fault.  It is complicated and contradictory and nuanced and frustrating.  
To put this in context, I fantasized about having cancer for a large part of my childhood.  Because if I was seriously, physically ill, then I might get the warmth, attention, comfort, and support I desperately needed, because then it would finally be bad enough to deserve it.  (I didn’t understand it that clearly as a child; I just knew that being very sick was appealing to me for some reason.  This is years of therapy helping me understand.)
(Also, my dad is a separate post.  For anyone wondering where he was. Long story short present in a physical way, but I’ve literally sat in front of this man sobbing and had him not notice anything was wrong. So.)
But hey, I thought, at least my mom got the basics right.  We were fed , sheltered, and clothed.  She never hit us.  We had medical care and went to good schools.  She protected us.
Well.
Another way in which my family is fucked up is that my sister was molested by our uncle (my mother’s brother) as a child.  She has spent a literal decade trying to work up the courage to tell our “nothing bad ever happens” mother, with the anticipation that she’d probably either ignore or deny it.  Relevant here is my mother still has a good relationship with this sibling (on the surface... more on that later).  She keeps up with him online, she invites him to things.  My sister missed our grandmother’s wake (father’s mother) because he lives in that area and our mom invited him.  I had a contingency plan for if he showed up at my sister’s wedding, because my mom refused to uninvite him.
My sister finally told her yesterday.  
She did not, in fact, ignore or deny it.
Instead, she told my sister, “I suspected the abuse but hoped I was wrong.  Also, he molested me too, when I was a child.”
And there’s this contradiction again.  Because I KNOW trauma fucks people up.  I KNOW THIS.  My trauma is different, but gods, I know how it stops your brain from working right.  
And yet.  
SHE KNEW her bother was a predator.  SHE KNEW THIS. And she still invited him into our lives.  She didn’t abuse my sister herself, but she sure as fuck created the circumstances that allowed it happen.  She put us all in danger.  Knowingly.  Willingly.
And I’ve been trying to understand what on earth could make her do that, and I keep coming up empty.  I mean, how could she do that to us?  
The bar was set SO LOW for her, and she couldn’t even do this one basic mom thing of not exposing her children to a pedophile.  She couldn’t do the one basic brave thing of asking my sister what had happened when she began to suspect.  
I don’t understand.
I don’t understand, and I feel so betrayed, and so furious, and so guilty because I know how much all of this must have fucked her up, because I know that she may never have told anyone about it before.  I’m trying to find empathy and compassion and I all I can find is hurt and rage, that she put us all in danger and my sister, who I love so much, got hurt.  My sister, who I have been supporting through all of this in part because we both knew damn well that she couldn’t go to our mom for support.
And I can’t talk to my mom.  It doesn’t feel fair, like I don’t deserve to feel any of this because I wasn’t in the direct line of fire from our uncle, because I’m just a bystander I don’t have a right to be upset.  And I’ve rarely been this upset in my life.  I could try talking to her, but it won’t do any good.
I was driving home from my covid vaccine today and had a moment where I was tempted to flip my car going around a sharp turn.  This isn’t suicidal ideation (I’ve had that too, and I know the difference).  This is more along the lines of kid-Pigeon wishing she had cancer; I don’t know how to ask my mother to please be there for me, goddammit, please help me understand but feel like she would show up for me if I were physically hurt.  This was the first time in five or six years I’ve had that kind of impulse, so that was super fun.
I’m just... I never had a mom.  I had a caretaker, like someone hired to look after me, and it was just a job she had to do.  And that void is just eating and eating and eating away at me since her revelation.  Because it’s not like you can just go out and get another.  It’s not like making a friend or finding a partner.  It’s just an injury I have to learn to live with because there’s no other option.
And right now I don’t know if I can do that.  I feel like this might be the last straw, the one I just can’t get over and can’t therapy away and can’t stop from hurting.
I need to understand, but there’s no answer.  I want to know what I ever did to not deserve a normal family.  I want to know what I ever did to have to work this hard to just hit some facsimile of being a normal adult.  There’s no answer to any of that.  
I’m just really tired.

Movie Review: Mulan (2020, Spoilers)
Tumblr media
Spoiler Warning: I am posting this review the week following the movie’s release on Disney+ worldwide, so if you haven’t yet seen the 2020 live-action Mulan do not read on until you have.
General Reaction:
Tumblr media
I had a very hard time deciding what I thought about this movie. I firstly had time to wait to see the movie as I didn’t watch it on Disney+ on the Friday it was released but instead got to see it for free the following Sunday night. But in that time all the reviews were coming out and while some of them were positive, a lot of them were negative.
Tumblr media
I guess my feelings can be categorised into three pillars just as the oath sworn by the imperial army...loyal, brave and true, the first pillar is loyalty as in my thoughts on the original animated Mulan and how this movie holds up.
I will say, had I not seen the original I would probably just like this live-action remake fine enough but because I have not only seen the original 1996 animated version but have a strong connection to that version with it being the first movie I ever saw in theatres but also one of my favoured soundtracks of all Disney movies growing up, it’s difficult as we are literally comparing new for old.
That being said, a lot of what made the original so good for me has been completely gutted in this version. No Mushu, Cri-Kee or even Little Brother. It would be so easy to simply have a Shar Pei or a Shih Tzu roaming around Mulan’s home because they already had a spider taking the place of Cri-Kee in that matchmaker scene but no...we get the horse who isn’t even called Khan in this movie because the main villain’s surname is instead Khan rather than Shan Yu like the original, and a phoenix that...despite all the exposition and my movie trivia knowledge of what a phoenix can do...simply just flies around almost like one of those box kites and acts more like a drone than an ancestral family protector.
Also the grandmother from the original, who I loved because Disney has a habit of doing these elderly cooky women traditionally for comedy but also with some heart, is omitted from this version and instead seemingly replaced with a younger sister for Mulan. Now it’s not like the grandmother was integral to the original story other than giving Cri-Kee to Mulan and without Cri-Kee there is no need for her but if you’re going to replace her replace her with something interesting...this sister does absolutely nothing.
As for the songs, Everyone knew right from the off that this wouldn’t be a musical and so all those great songs from that soundtrack that I said at the time was one of my favourite Disney soundtracks were obviously out...but the way in which the score incorporated the main song “Reflection” is something we’ve already heard in the trailers and used very well played out here, then also two of the other songs “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” and “A Girl Worth Fighting For”, while not scored are referenced as lines from the songs are spoken by the Imperial Army soldiers at times.
Then speaking of ditching characters, Shang who is the main male lead of the 1998 animated Mulan is here split into two different characters. The commander of the Imperial Army played by Donnie Yen and then a soldier recruit in said army who acts as Mulan’s love interest...I think. I get the fact that these were the two sides of Shang’s character in the original...with the addition of dealing with the murder of his father...but it would have made more sense maybe to have the commander be “Shang’s” father rather than literally having Shang A and Shang B.
But while other fan-favourites were omitted, one new addition stole the show for me and that was Gong Li as Xian Lung aka The Witch as she’s referred to throughout in this movie. I thought the addition of magic to this adaptation was an interesting take because the original stands out for not relying so heavily on the fairytale aspects. I mean yes we have a talking dragon and ghostly ancestors, who also aren’t in this movie but are referenced a lot and responsible for the box kite phoenix, but the movie didn’t need magic per-say...here it is almost like the secret sauce for how the major players thrive.
This brings me onto my second pillar, brave...as in this movie takes some big old swings in the dark to not only try and stand out from the original but also be mature. Going back to the magic angle, chi is a massive part of this movie and it seems to be that if you’re an important fighter, you have it man or woman.
The only issue with that being the 1998 animated version of Mulan, despite being Disney, was one of the more grounded Renaissance movies as it didn’t rely heavily on the fantasy angle other than the talking dragon and ancestors.
So when you flip that around and tell me that not only does Mulan effectively have superpowers but also there is a major antagonist in this movie who can not only shapeshift but perform matrix-style Wire-Fu action which she somehow teaches the Rouran army, then it loses what made the original version special in that it didn’t rely so heavily on those fantastical elements.
That being said, despite a major problem with other Disney Live-Action remakes like The Lion King being that they rely too heavily on the source material, this remake is practically a different movie to the original 1998 version.
However, while a lot of the beats of the first half of this movie, and even the second half are met such as the Matchmaker scene, joining the Imperial Army, the avalanche battle and the Emperor being captured, the true emotional moments of the animated movie are completely gone.
That incredibly powerful scene after Mulan and her father argue and she is next seen crying at the Great Stone Dragon statue while watching her ailing father before deciding she must take his place and cuts her hair, disguises herself and leaves home in the middle of the night in the rain...here replaced with Mulan wielding her father’s sword, next she’s in the armor, then she’s travelling to the army camp...no powerful music, no visible emotion at how she comes to the resolve of leaving her family, nothing.
Even though there are no songs sung in this movie, the scene “Reflection” is originally sung in makes the song one of my favourite Disney Princess songs because of the fact it lyrically and visibly shows Mulan’s inner torment at being the outsider within her family and longing to be able to truly express herself. Here you have any resemblance of that scene taken out and instead go straight from the Matchmaker scene to the Imperial Army drafting scene.
As for the comedy, I understand the original animated version was more of a comedy-action movie as opposed to this one which is action-drama, but I don’t think I laughed once while watching this movie.
Yes, the original had Eddie Murphy as Mushu and that’s taken out here, but it also had the likeable funny trio of soldiers in the army. Here there are 5 of them, Shang-lite included, Yao and Chien-Po I think try to be despite not spending enough time on any of them to know who is who. There’s this newish character called Cricket who is supposed to be the substitute for Cri-Kee...but is a recruit in the Imperial Army instead of an insect and I had to look up to make sure it wasn’t Ned from the Spider-Man movies because they look so similar and try to force comedy despite not being particularly funny. Even the river shower scene from the original which was rather funny due to Mulan trying to hide the fact she’s a woman from the three guys, here it’s just Mulan and Shang-lite (Chen Honghui) and is played off more as some weird and awkward romance scene.
It is truly brave of Disney to try and appeal more to China than to Western audiences who loved the original movie and the comedy etc and this brings me on to the third pillar which is True, as in Disney trying to be true to China, it’s culture and respecting Mulan as a legend of China rather than a Disney Princess.
That being said, we definitely got more Chinese culture in this version than the original. Obviously you see a lot of China in the animated movie as the Imperial Army moves around a lot like they do here, but it’s never quite as cinematic as it is here. The 2020 live-action Mulan demands the attention of the big screen because for me watching it on my laptop, you can tell a lot of the establishing shots and landscape scenes were intended to be viewed on the silver screen.
Particularly the shots of people running up and down that vast staircase leading up to the Emperor’s palace, just imagining that in theatres impresses me.
Tumblr media
Even shots like when you see wide views with either the phoenix or the witch in bird form soaring across the sky, you can tell it was meant to be viewed first on the big screen just to get that feeling of wonder because on a smaller screen it isn’t that impressive.
Tumblr media
However, on the subject of “True” I do not understand how in-keeping with the original Chinese legend involved Chi being utilized as some sort of superpower equivelent to Avatar: The Last Airbender whereas in the original animated Disney version, which should really be the one emphasising the fantasy element, you’re either a good fighter or, in Mulan’s case for that movie, you’re not and have to train.
I understand how legends and mythologies can include fantastical elements because that’s what makes them as such, but if Disney want to tell me that in this movie Mulan is practically Wonder Woman because that’s how she is said to be in the legend then where the hell was that in the 1998 animated version because that Mulan is classed officially as a Disney Princess despite not being royalty or marrying royalty and having this type of power would at least qualify her to stand alongside the likes of Pocahontas and Moana.
Tumblr media
Getting off the rant and moving to a compliment for a moment, I did appreciate the movie staying true to Chinese fashion because that really puzzled me about the original movie, how every man, woman and child effectively looked like they were wearing the same robes just in a different colour with maybe some different styling depending on if they were royalty or officials in some way.
But here, the Emperor definitely looked regal, the Witch looked regal but in that nomadic styling which was true to her character, and even though all the soldiers were wearing the same uniform, they all had something different enough about it.
Characters:
Alright so I’ve gone on enough generally, now I’m going to be more specific in terms of character, but because most of these characters aren’t fleshed out enough to warrant their own section, I’m listing who I feel are my three stand-out characters and then grouping the rest.
Mulan:
Tumblr media
Obviously the movie is about Mulan so I have to start with her, and despite all the negative stuff which to be perfectly honest with you doesn’t overly concern me in regards to how Yifei Liu has been so adamantly in support of the Hong Kong Police drama, I’m judging her solely on how she plays the character here.
She was okay.
I mean this in the best way possible but, in a similar way to last year’s The Lion King remake, Yifei Liu was practically stone-faced the entirety of this movie. Good things happened, no expression, bad things happened, no expression, sad things happened, no expression. Especially when she was pretending to be a guy in the army camp it felt like her acting choice was “If Mulan was to show expression, it may give the game up”, it was just so rigid it made it hard to like her.
Speaking of her “undercover guise”, I know the original movie was animated and therefore the animators can get away with slightly altering the look of the character to make it believable and voices can even be changed as evidenced here with Jet Li...but I did not believe for a single second that Mulan could actually pass as a guy looking like how she looked. She didn’t cut her hair, her clothes weren’t particularly masculine, barely changed her voice and aside from having that leather brace/corsit to hide her chest there was no evidence as to how an entire army camp could not tell the second they saw her...maybe with the exception of Chen but I’ll get to that when I get to him.
Also, I touched on the Chi power thing beforehand, why was she was born with it? Why was it so powerful in her from an early age? None of this was explained, they hammered home the dangers of her having such strong Chi and that was also personified beautifully with Xian Lang aka The Witch as a kind of Ghost of Christmas Future visage, but the reason the original animated version worked so well was because she was flawed, clumsy and awkward yet also caring, strong-willed and outspoken. Really all they did here was take away all of those qualities that made her...you know...human and added the Chi power thing from the start so she didn’t have to learn to fight, she didn’t have to make this massive sacrifice as you know she’s probably going to prevail and again it made her unlikeable because there was no growth or real character development.
All except for the very end when the Emperor offers her a position on the royal guard rather than as an adviser like he does originally, and she rejects it here like she did then as well...but then she is asked again maybe two days later and we don’t get an answer but she probably says yes.
It’s quite clear they’re trying to tee up a sequel by the end of this movie, but there is so much negativity both to the movie and specifically the leading actress that I really don’t see this happening.
If a sequel was to happen it would most likely be Mulan’s struggles with being a female member in the emperor’s guard or even leading the team, but we saw her do that for the second half of this movie.

Literally the halfway point in this movie after a confrontation with Xian Lang, when Mulan’s father narrates how Mulan’s lie died but she herself lived and so she then decided to appear in front of the Imperial Army as a woman despite the obvious consequences I found stupid.
In the original it’s a mistake that she’s found out, it’s towards the end of the movie and she has to fight just for acceptance. Here she pretty much states the obvious in what she knows the villains are doing, suddenly she’s leading the fecking army...despite being told that if she shows her face again she will die...no death but just a promotion.
Tumblr media
Finally while talking about Mulan, I can’t really not talk about that fantastic Ming-Na Wen cameo at the end of the movie. It was so great, I had heard prior to seeing the movie that she was going to be in it and so my eyes were peeled throughout the movie.
I love Ming-Na Wen and I do think she is one of very few to hit a Disney trifecta with being a Disney Princess, an MCU hero of sorts and a Star Wars character, though having recently finally seen The Mandalorian I have to say her part was exaggerated a bit considering the one episode she’s in.
It never dawned on me until it was brought up that I even needed Ming-Na to appear in this movie but having seen her I have to say I would be disappointed if she didn;t. Originally I would have suggested she maybe play Mulan’s mother as a type of passing on the torch, but the very fact that her one line and duty in the movie is to introduce Mulan to the emperor it does seem to have the same effect.
Xian Lang:
Tumblr media
As I say, the Witch was my favourite character in this movie. Everything about her from when I first saw her in the trailers just worked for me. Her look was stunning, Gong-Li’s acting was on point, her story despite being a secondary antagonist based on the villain’s pet bird from the original movie was very compelling. The parallels between Mulan and Xian Lang were fascinating to see particularly with Xian Lang being a potential future cautionary tale for Mulan.
Tumblr media
The first major scene when we see her use her powers was my favourite scene in the movie. I love a great power-set piece and we got to see a lot of the different fascets of Xian Lang’s power. From that gorgeous blend of coloured powders to act as a smokescreen for her shapeshifting, the weapon manifestation, using her sleeves as whips. It all worked so well and Mulan wasn’t even in the scene.
That being said, my next favourite scene is that confrontation between her and Mulan where Xian Lang is trying to get Mulan to admit who she is but she’s insistent on stating she’s her male name, so Xian Lang says “then you will die a lie” and knocks her into a rock which Mulan’s father then narrates “Mulan’s lie did die but Mulan lived”, it’s such powerful stuff and I wish the rest of the movie was as clever as that.
The Emperor:
The only other character I can really single out is Jet Li’s Emperor of China. I’m not a massive Jet Li fan, but I have seen him in a couple other movies and to my knowledge always in non-English speaking roles. However, I have also seen him in interviews so know the voice he has...this wasn’t it.
It was really distracting all the way through this movie because he looked regal, everything around him looked regal and powerful, but then he spoke and I was sat there pondering “Why is that not his voice?”. I mean I know how Hollywood likes to dub voices if the actors they hire don’t fit the roles vocally but do physically, but doing this not only to Jet Li who is one of the more famous Asian actors in Hollywood but any Asian actor in an entirely Asian cast does seem like a huge step backwards in representation particularly after Aladdin.
It reminded me a lot of Ray Park who is one of my favourite underrated actors. In some roles you see him and hear his voice like Toad in the first X-Men movie, however famously you only see him physically as Darth Maul in the Star Wars movies but have his voice dubbed by other actors.
All that aside, the actual character was a lot more fleshed out than in the original movie. I mean all you really need to know about him is that he’s the Emperor of China but here, because he’s Jet Li apparently in body only, he also has some kick-ass martial arts scenes.
Although, similar to the TV series Arrow, I do not understand how magic allows people to catch arrows fired at them, yet somehow Jet Li does and to be fair redirects it in a rather bad-ass way with Mulan doing a flip kick sending it straight into the chest of the main villain guy.
Hua Family:
Tumblr media
As for Mulan’s family, I thought they were okay. Again I got more emotional from the original movie and I did miss the grandmother this time around and do not understand how the younger sister was a worthy substitute, but the actual parents were at least acted well.
It was great seeing Constance Wu in a dramatic role after seeing her in Freaky Friday, Tzi Ma was a surprisingly central role this time around as Mulan’s father with a lot more drama put on his character, in the original version you know Fa Zhou is injured from war so when he’s drafted again you can guess he may not survive. Here, Constance Wu states “Be brave for he won’t return this time”.
Imperial Army:
I didn’t like any of these guys, we spend little time getting to know any of them as individuals, maybe with the exception of Donnie Yen’s general character. Having said that, Chen either had to know that Mulan was a girl or simply be attracted to Mulan as a boy. But there were so many looks and so many times where you could tell that he knew but maybe wanted to protect her so didn’t let on.
Rourans:
Tumblr media
I didn’t like the Huns in the original movie but at least they had individuality about them, the Rourans had nothing. Jason Scott Lee was obviously the Shan Yu of this movie but he did not have the intimidation factor that he had and really didn’t have a lot else to him.
The one plus about the Rourans is they seemed to take lessons from the Dothraki in Game of Thrones in how to not only ride into battle but battle while riding. It was very cool visually.
Recommendation:
Tumblr media
By the time this review posts if you haven’t seen the movie yet you may not be inclined to and I don’t know if this review is really a promotion for it, but when someone asked me for my recommendation I did say it’s worth at least one viewing.
However, I would not pay the excess fee for it. I watched it for free and I feel $30 or however much it is here in the U.K. would feel a bit of a rip off despite the fact Disney+ allows for multiple users and so multiple viewings.
Overall I rate the movie a 6/10, it’s visually gorgeous, Gong-Li is the best thing about the movie and it is interesting to see what is different between versions. I just wouldn’t rank it up there as one of the best Disney Live-Action remakes, too much doesn’t make sense.
So that’s my review of Disney’s Live-Action Mulan, what did you guys think? Post your comments and check out more Disney Movie Reviews as well as other Movie Reviews and posts.

Clone Wars          Escape from Kadavo
Well this is certainly a      scene change and one that doesn’t really make sense,
   I mean I thought it was a Camp of Holding for slaves
     Where they got transported to different places on the island to do     slave labor, per         hap        -s
   Now there’s apparently a lava pit under it,
            How?
  That
    -doesn’t make any sense
    Also wtf,
   Coal, metal
Since when was   refinery really this place’s MO      (Like this is really starting to feel like they got the        Mandalorian           And           This        Set         -ting        s       Switch           ed,)
      Not to say they can’t be a     coal/mining industry,  
      Just, that the setting should    reflect it,
     From we saw there was nothing to indicate this was anything but        an ar       chai          c      Soc-either
     With no flues        Or fu    -mes
     To indicate   that they were burn        Ing combustibles,
   Honestly some kind of stalactites   mine,
     Or someplace where they       dig for      “valuables,”            -like      prized st-          one for         Jew           elery-          Would          make         more        sense-       -        Anyway, I’m getting.      way too        focus        -ed          on          the        se-          tt         -        Ing-      - Again Rex is    just straight up chilling,     This is      n’t       his first rodeo with abusers,
  Ok, seriously what was up with the    Wil       -h         el          m,?
     (Like I don’t honestly see anything          steep enough to fall off)
   You could say      it was a whip but we haven’t seen any        Of       That,      Ye      t-
  I don’t get the    screaming-
  Also that   dude just attacked him out of nowhere,
  Like   could we have gone    establishment of that?
   Like,
  What was even his ber-zerk        butt-        on       there?
   Dude was doing his job
  Like if it was a faster thing you kind of have to establish that before hand      -        Also then the environment, the ma      jor      ity,       Would be working at a   breakneck speed,      With a sense of anxiety,       In the       air,
    Then,     the whip,
  He-     was?
  (Like that was just        plain - pointless
     Not even an emotional reaction
     Like that told us absolutely nothing about the setting      and character
    The mate didn’t even have a reaction
    It’s one random guy that just decided to hit      someone else-
   Like that’s not even calculated never mind       systematic,
    Also I like how Rex like yeah      I wouldn’t know anything about that,        feck’in             Jedi             -
      Also       “Effect?”
      Not really more like 
     “ Dave’s having a real rough day and I really don’t want to talk to              (In that               state)
          Like they didn’t wince.
         There was no antici             pation-
          No                  anxiety,
            Like no signs of this is had a           permanent          psychologically            damaging              affect
(Note all toxic behavior is           harmful,               The difference here is             Between                The intensity of the        in-dentation,
            It can get pretty       bad
            And enabling        tox can have serious effects                 (Pretty                   bad)
              (Requiring a lot more time   to undo)
               From;            Dave is really an    asshole,
                 To                           I am really an    asshole,
                  To                    The world is really an   asshole (And Dave is the       savior-)
   (Apologies to anyone who’s chosen name is          Dave or similar vernacular,               It’s not out of any Mala-    cian-              Just the first identi          fication I could think of,
          And tox-    ic logic is really not something you wanna enable,
         Again what the Frick?
(This is really not an   or-ganic way to      introduce        your       rules
Like, “oh yeah    speech is for-bidden,       Have a nice        day,”
 Like      you   think   dude-
Like you were pretty damn path     -etic     abu       ser-        (s)         -    (Sla       vers)       Wow,
   There was no emotions or anything     -be      cause the set up was so poor,
  W-        h      -a         t
    Again the emotion    is non existence,
  Also what the fuck     happened to Rex over there?     -      
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When did he      go down?
 (Like don’t    get me wrong   I saw a flash in the corner?)
  But why       him?
   [also did the scenery just completely changed because he was on the far end of Ken-        Obi with something in between
      Some thing they were       shoveling the stuff on?
     That’s just       gone in this shot]
  [Also,           From a narra-         tive,     standpoint wouldn’t it have made more sense and been a more engaging concept,          If the guy had threat          -ene             d-            The clone          in Obi- wan’s              stead,             Seeing as of the     republic’s version of slavery,
      Rex pos          s-             ib          ly
     Reflec-         ting on the          (Other           Species?)
And    contrasted with them,
   On how much    Obi-Wan views him as a possession,
   (Or his reaction to the people under him getting hot          ,and why)
   Allo-      wing for more heart, 
     “I’m            sorry,”
        “No              Wors              e-               Than               The            Kamino               -ins,”
       Rex’s         Sub             Cat;
        Seeing the people he was trained (and order-ed) to protect              Harm                 -ed                   -                    Much like the people (under him) were harmed during the Kamooin.   s-
  Groom          -ing,                  ?]
      Any      -way,  
    Again,     and what was the emotion?       -         M-aster
  Rex must be like,         Kar-           ma
     If he’s   not,
    [Never mind      he isn’t asleep      just one frame     made it look weird?]
   Ai-       gh -t
  Oh yeah seriously check up on that one guy instead of you know the person under the command,
    Also;       
Tumblr media
 What The fuck?
    IS THAT GOOGLY EYES?
    What the feck,
     What is with that       expression-
     What is with that              facial-
   (Seriously someone tell me what      emotions this is supposed to por-     tray!
    What?
    Also yeah 
  they completely waltz.       -ed     past the ab-        us         -er.        Be-         Ing        -         Con-          fron         ted-              by         the       Con-        Seq-        Uen        Ce        (s)          Of       their      actions,
  It’s not pointed out that Obi-Wan totally caused this by (not)-    listen-ing,        To dude’s        initiative      to stay out of it
(Or, what he did to Cody        Rex,       and basically         all the clones,)
(And what could’ve been a good moral about negative effects of “Pos-       itive  over-       invo        lv           e-       Ment-            )
   so I am slightly big mad
         Not com-   -pletely
          But I’m      get-ting          th-ere
   Drinking         my        slightly       bitter       ju-ice-
   Gett    -ing         pr-etty          salty
     Which is odd since I normally don’t criticize      aesthetic differences
              Like                    This-       -
   The problem is it isn’t the aesthetic       that I have a problem with,        (You want to have a Obi-Wan show more compassion to the slave of similar generation then to Rex?
    (That’s per-fect-ly fine and could even show how he values his job and  Mission over someone he is actually wound-        ed-)
     However that’s not it-
        (It doesn’t             even do that)
   My problem with it is that it shows no        emotion
   No emphasis
   No moral
   It’s - empty               -          Watching this scene,     there is absolutely nothing I get out of it,
       Also wow that was a        quick turnaround,
Like seriously     it generally takes longer      for that kind of behavior to be indented,
  This is literally the only Jedi       he’s seen be there
       One time
         This is barely scraping        logic,          And            even             then,                not              really            requiring-              pre-knowledge                  of the emotions               and general plot               (before                       hand)
   I know that I should feel bad for the        slave because         slav-ery is a bad thing           And any real person would be          pretty upset it/             Suffer for the toxic environment,
         Note; it’s not from the               medium
         I didn’t gain that                 knowledge             from the medium
(In which the chara-       cters      actions and emotions,         Make me        conclude,       “oh wow,         slavery is a real         bad thing!”
   No the characters are wooden puppets          with no emotion,
          Going from;                Point a to point B
      Nothing to connect them              (No preamble)
         No emotions
         No motive(s)
       ‘why is Obi-Wan doing what he’s doing?’
         ‘I don’t know’
                    (And I honestly don’t think the wr-     iters did either)
       And no damn interest
        Barely scraping        logic..
   ‘Why is Obi-wan      doing what he’s doing,’
     ‘Because he has the rescue the slaves,’
    ‘ why does he have to rescue the slaves,?’
      ‘ because you have to rescue slaves,’
        It’s literally circular
   Rely- ing completely on the cookie   cu-    tter,
    Resulting in it being as flat as a cookie when      rolled over by a rolling pin,
         Where                It             should;                Be;
    “ why does Obi-Wan want to rescue the slaves?”
        “Because of his dedication to his moral compass/ because of his dedication to his generation/ non-      clone- ena         blers,/      (Whatever        you want           to put            there)
           (Hey that was almost emotion from   ,Rex)
         (We’re      2:29      Min      Ut        es        In,        And I’m already        salty about the episode refusal to be         fun,
     -
   That’s nice        exposition      *Palpatine*.       Sidious,
     Tra-        dition           (S);
    Mill-
  That’s literally all I      -heard-
      -(I assume they’re saying             “millions,”)
         Which would actually be neat if we got to see some you know human soldiers on the Darkside to counterbalance the whole do you know clone troopers, contrasting the dark side’ s more ethical but none the less toxic practices,
    To the light side’s-          Gen Break-
      De-       fiance?
   (I think you mean that other Zygerian’s death because we have literally not seen the queen act even remotely rebellious,
   Yeah she      con-     templates possibly free-        ing them,
   But we haven’t seen her openly communicate with either of these 2 to inform them
   And she still wants to keep     Anakin,
  So she at least     has one Jedi,
   With the others possibly be blamed on a       -prison break-
      And literally nothing that we’ve seen       com-municating the concept of open - rebel-      lion
   Or any of the connection between      her    and the separatist,
   Again seriously        how am I     supposed to feel about that             (Also the one person that gives even the slightest bit of emotion and it’s the villain,)
    Like I’m surprise’d       Dooku’s surprised by that
   (Er-)
    O-k
   Whe-lp 
   (Also, now there         are flues).           (Don’t recall        seeing them                last time,)
        Or just sticks with gold          on them
 (I am very        con-        fused,)
This seems pretty different
And totally safe
  (Also wasn’t the castle       blue?)
  But I’m not against it because it could work with the       symbolism of wild,       Or just.          Wor      -k                 (I know I’m being way too hop-   - eful but I try,
      Re-        hash-
     Easy-
   So why is there no other emotion 
   And why do you look like a         caveman,
    (Eyebrows    constantly furr-        Ow-        ed)
    Also what was with the      pro-nunciation and        emotion?
    Bare,
   Also literally no     one else is paying attention to that guy?        ?
‘ he also doesn’t   cause me to have any emotions’
  Like seriously I know that it’s a cat person but you still have to show some sentient emotion here
   If there’s no emotion,        there’s no risk,
   (Part of   sent- ience)
   Att-        end,
   Again that’s not the cha-    llenge I think they were trying to make it out to be;              (Un-accountabili-          ty)    Aka         What it would work best as;
          Remix;
    “ I’ll would never turn away from a challenge,” Anakin said snarkily,
      The queen se-           duct              iv             el-              y
          Taking his light saber,                -                that works better;
           -                   Ser-iously                       -                       Um-                       No,  
(Last time someone fall from a height that      high, they died,)
   (You have to play by        your       own      rules,             )
    Wha-
    Also again wh        -at-
   Sky -walker
  When          ?-
   -
   Would be nice if you ever         feckin showed it,
       (Seriously the concept of Obi-Wan having to come to terms at least temporary that his Over-involvement has      hurt people is an interesting concept,”
     Also bullshit      that you know that
      (Pretty)
   (You’re all enabled and you haven’t spent any time around     Obi-Wan)
   (That’s a stupid plan            and the animation really doesn’t help,)
       Zy-ger
       Perm     -     R-       i-,
Oh yeah so no reserves,     about using the term,             “master”      After this     schism            ?            -         Y-eah           -         How?           -           W-at
 [The emotions are off the roof and I have no idea 
    with the scale of escalation
   W-at]
   Lesh          -       Li- fe
    You did-            n’t?             -              Emo            tion-
        ?
      Wh-at?
      Who        called-        the       guards?
   Seriously if this is such a constantly abusive (tox) relationship than how do they not know,
     (Unless the previous guards got killed and these          are the         newbies,)
    Because you don’t act like it all don’t have any of the characteristics generally associated with constantly rein-forc       -ed toxicity,         Show-       ed no emotion including     (anxiety and anticipation)         In that previous           fight,
 As well as no negative    con-    seq-    uen      ce          s for your behavior             -               Even now your voice is just     “ oh I’m     dyi-ng-            -,’.                 .        
Tumblr media
Meep,
 [Something        happened 
   not a Tumblr refresh,
       Gist;
  There’s absolutely no emotion in the scene and the fact that she just dies after that being the threat is just kind of cheap,
  [and the fact that she had absolutely no expression            (Or emotion)     during that entire fight                  Not showing any of the general signs             -               Just no)
    And that expression is a weird way way to end
   The scene.       not the movie that still going,          (Un-fortunate-         ly)
   Uh, why             Off to you obviously evil factory,       land,”
    Kick,
   Hey     isn’t it that minor antagonist    that hasn’t showed up since the last episode?       . . .       Why?         . . .       And he included       the clone        why?
    (Oh yeah I want the      Jedi Knight         Obi-Wan          Kenobi,          And especially the to my knowledge           (default)             clone.
       -  
       And Rex who is honestly a lot more intimidating,
  K-i
  [Again this is supposed really be about.     Ken-obi but I’m really focusing on     Rex,]
    Wh-        at-        -
   How?!
    They were on a        bug?
    I-
   Ok-
  Sorry my memory     gave out for a moment at the whole     Anakin durp face thing         -       -
 W-h
  W-
Wood
   Again, how is he supposed to do that?
    -       Ter-         -        I-l
   Sl-av          es
   So Ahsoka goes to rescue the slaves while An-a      kin,    stays here and carves a hole,
   En-ough
   No emotion!
   Oh,     I thought he meant         Ah         -soka         -          Oh so yeah let’s bring a warship into what seems to have been         intended as a stealth mission,
      Screw                    Fitt              Ing                Re                Action-
And-

How   did that change the fact that they have the button that can kill all the    slaves,
    (It didn’t)
Obi-won just apparently stopped giving a       fr-ick         -
  Ray-

      “He           -at,”
        “Cut,”
         Ge-n-
         Rex did more than Obi-wan,
          Also yeah     completely forgot about that,
        Also he said               kill,
         [Not further         im-prison,”         ]
       Rex had some      rage-
      Also you’d think that be Obi-Wan       considering how much he’s gotten       ,screwed with         This entire          ,time              -           Wh,at

Wh        -y          -     H-ere         -               How is Rex still fighting      guys?         -       Also thanks a lot Obi-Wan      you useless      piece of shit,
   [Again, would         n’t it make           sense?            .)

      Great      )
     Ser-iously,   what     where are these guys coming from?        ,     You’ve literally been allowed this dude to heck around the entire time while Rex did all the hard work
La-me,
 Also seriously where was all that                    -  ,coming from-                     -                Wh    at-
Where   was the   emotion?       -      Hey that had no meaning, symbolism      or emotion behind it -       whatsoever,

       -Tone; Is appropriate
       -Emotions; And appropriate, and consistent and manage to keep a consistent tone,
             (Un-nessary,                        Typically switch-ed for a        more logical tone,                        In works of                      non-fiction,
                  Though may be in both,                        So long as note                        is given,)
        This            film            (Movie      -      Gets absolutely none of it right except the basics for a         good story
      It’s        co -         hesive-          But damn           boring         and empty,
Story         -      Re-write.          -            (I needed something fun after watching that       boring documentary,)
     So let’s       get into it,            -                   (May          feature            episode             -overlap)
   Obi-Wan emerges from the carrier,              With R           -ex,
    (Obi-Wan possibly sub- con-ciously           mov              -ing                  In              Fron                 -t                        Of                    Rex-)
         [Or              Cody]
             The                  minor              antagonist                welcome(s)                 them;                   Obi-wan trading some banter with him                      -                     It                being part of a plan to get captured,
              Unfortunately somethings went ar-ray and instead of              Cody being the back up plan; he got taken with him
               The minor antagonist                                   -               quickly cuts the chatter                                 -                                     By having the guard                               (S-                         bring Cody forward, introducing him as                                                           Obi-Wan’s                                                               Slave
           Giving a veiled threat of                “ would be a shame if something happened to such a                    ,pretty specimen,”
                  Obi-Wan getting   def-ensive,
                      The atag,      Com   menting,       “ Pretty protective,           Of your toy,            Aren’t              You,”
      Before         having           them thrown            somewhere,
         Next time,        we see them they’re getting e-           scor-            ted-             for gem            Min-            Ing,
         (Possibly some black humor from the vil               -ains-                about how people                 will pay,                     “An arm                  or leg
*Pos-sibly        yours,
                For                      the                      stuff,’           
            On the way there one of the guards notices Rex    (Cody)’s                                                                                     ey-ing the place.                                                                                          warning him                                                                                          That,                                                                                           ‘He’s                                                                                        not                                                                                 the only                                                                                     one                                                                                    under                                                                                 ob                                                                            -servation)
                                                                             Possibly                                                                               causing                                                                              a wincing                                                                            or anxious                                                                           reaction                                                                             from                                                                             them                                                                                  .   (I would generally  encourage flashbacks to be        able to - show the emotion          em-          ot            ion,)
      (Under-stand               what is going inside their            head,)
         But for now            I’ll stick           with           the example            given by the show         which is no flashbacks,     The      guard        making        it clear what will happen
Shock-     -Ing-
  The clone       (Eith          er)           Ha-ving       a bad reaction         to this,
     Knee       jerkingly      reaching            out,
     The guard       grabbing him         and         holding him    back -            -           Forced into a      distressing circumstance of         fa            il           -in            g-         The           Miss-         -ion             -
                                                                                             Those two are                                                                                     pretty much out of the action                                                                                for the rest of the episode being                                                                   stuck
                                                  Obi-Wan can’t do anything without hurting Cody                                                       Cody can’t do anything without hurting                                                                         the slaves                                                                               -                                                                              Most of their part is                                                                               contrasting                                                                            the condition,
Most of the     action is with      Ahsoka,        Who talks down that  dweeb         (Maybe someone near-er          to her age)                     And they go break      Obi-Wan out so he can back up, Anakin
    In the Dooku fight,
               The most consistent and                       clear char-                        -acter                          Being                              Q                             -ueen,                              Being a     slaver-
   If         it’s         Ana-       Kin,
          Anakin having to begrudgingly put up with this        slaver’s nonsense
         Be-grudgingly
      - Her talking about how life is slavery     and him just not...
          Then                  Dooku                 Shows                      Up,
   (The whole transition between the mine scene and the Anakin- slaver scene,        Being a cut from the sparks in a mine           To the jewel on her finger              With extra focus       being put on the jewels,
        Possibly all done with all of them              Zy-              gar-ian                (Or of all        the planets that         she’s taking people from-  
      Zygarian            Heir               loom)
          A black stone          (in the middle of her chest)               By a pendant                 (Generally                   implied to be by                 Count Dooku)
    Toxic        court-ing           implied,
              Count Dooku                   announces                a surprise visit,
               The Queen is pleased                    but nervous                       (Hands                         behind -back)
                  “I-”
              Putting        a wine glass down behind it,
                     Dooku is immediately aggressive
        The queen            offering                Anakin as a consolation prize

        Dook-u snark                  Ing,
          Dooku threaten                -ing  to kill
          The queen having issue with that whole main characterization being the collector of rare things
          (Possibly a reflect-                Ion  about the no speaking rule)
             More likely Dooku dismissing her con-           cerns just saying that he can always get her a new one,
            “The Queen possibly wincing at a raised hand                  - if we want to go for indications of                  physical tox-’
          Poss-ibly a conversation about why she put up with           him
        “He treats me well”
        Focus on the necklace and pendent to             - contrast with the choking necklace-
          Possibly a poison               Sub-line
                -                     If you want                    to go there,                       -                    But focusing on Ahsoka,              they broke those guys out,
                 Ahsoka finding a heartbroken                         Jedi,                       Explaining that their res       -pect     ive  clone friend,        Has given up on them
   Ahsoka finding that person,
   Who manages to explain that he can’t        move either-
    To be cut off by the guards      who has really had enough of         every-      thing-
   Decided - screw it if pain isn’t going to make you stop and then might as well put them in a life or death situation,
    Add-ing time on the clock         (Or at least a new var-         iable-)
   Ahsoka possibly     does a whole speech thing          (Since seriously         we’ve seen none of her involvement or even care about         her own         spe-cies)          Via dem            on-          Strat           Ion-
      (Very likely leading to a            riot situation,)
     As they didn’t plan on the           Tagroatians (?)             Rebell              ing due to                crush                  -ed                 spirits,
     That happens                  -           Those two re-         unite and go to fi-ght                Dooku
        (I never.       really cared for the        Zy-            ger-             Ian           queen,)
         If she lives in then,    she’s grateful for them driving off Dooku,          Allows them to get off with the slaves,
      (Necklace might have information            might not,)
   *Honestly I felt it made more sense for        Anakin to be the one in the mine;             The Zy-          garian queen, and Obi         -Wan hav-          ing boomer ban             -ter,              With Obi-Wan a lot more           aware of that stuff,               (Show-ing               worldliness       by identifying the stones)             While Anakin compares       the circumstance to the one that he used to live in,              And the one he enabled Rex living in,           While Ahsoka,    could team up with a          Zy-ger-Ian round              her age,               Possibly some conversations about           enabling-           May-be Ahsoka talking about getting a clone         command of her own-            (If we want the clone commanders to be a constantly          featured theme                here)               Boomer                 Bait,               Busting Anakin out of the            mine,                Obi-Wan getting hidden behind a             cur-tain,                     And going to heck over Dooku,                   (Slaves recovered-)
           Both the Zy-                Gar-                  Ian-                    (And a flirtatious                promise to return                      By                       Obi-wan, )                       [contrast                        Mandalorian]                    Gets                         Free-                        Dom-                        -                         End-                         -

okay so the lovely @imbicilite​ / @whitrph​ and i were talking and it gave me the idea and we thought it was a great idea to spread it around so here’s how it goes: when talking with someone about pretty much anything tbh, but especially for something that could potentially be triggering, communicate with color codes based on city traffic lights ! GREEN means it’s good to talk about these things and you’re not feeling triggered by the topic, YELLOW means to slow down or stop talking about the topic at for now while RED means to stop the conversation about the topic immediately until green again where the conversation can divert into another topic or they feel safe to talk about it again !! this is EXTREMELY important, because it’s a way to alert others that you’re going to be talking about something that could possibly upset someone because of the subject matter, especially for those who may get triggered by a certain topic - even without you realizing it because squicks and triggers can honestly be anything, it could be different words or phrases or certain topics - and can cause severe anxiety in those affected, even panic attacks or flashbacks, and because we want to be considerate and respectful towards one another, it’s important that we use these to help our friends and fellow rpers know that we’re going to be posting or talking about something they might not want to see or talk about, and it’s of utmost importance to make them feel safe, it’s best to use this to be a more supportive friend and a member of the rpc!!
on a sidenote, i’m also here to tell you about tone indicators !! keep in mind that i didn’t come up with nor invent the concept of tone tags itself, but it was being spread around for a while now and i’d figured i’d talk about it !! essentially, tone indicators are used to indicate if the person is joking, being serious, etc., neurodivergent people often have trouble conveying and understanding emotion and tone through written text, using tone indicators is really helpful for neurodivergent people to make it easier for them to read/convey, it is also very helpful for people with anxiety. i encourage anyone who reads this to also type the meaning of the tone tag ( i.e: i love you !! /p for platonic ), so it is more accessible for neurodivergent and disabled people, like those who use screen readers.
“why should we use tone tags?” one might ask, but as an autistic, disabled and otherwise neurodivergent person myself, sometimes i don’t always get my friends and fellow mutual’s tones by their message but when they use tone indicators, it helps me understand and, not to mention that it can be really helpful and avoid misunderstandings. i would also like to note that NOT ALL neurodivergent people want you to use tone indicators on them, so if they don’t want you to use tone tags on them, please respect their wishes.
“i don’t like tone tags!” one might add, well, okay... but don’t make fun of the people that use them, it’s not a big deal, and if you’re a neurotypical who insists on not using tone tags when a neurodivergent person clearly asked you to, get your head out of your ass.
“using /j at the end of a joke ruins it!!” one might bitch, and okay but... it might be ruined for you, but it still makes me laugh, personally, so please try and get used to it, and not to mention, what’s more important: making sure you’re clear with your tone so that there’s no misunderstandings or throwing a fit just because the joke’s ruined for you?
additionally, some other things to keep in mind !! please do not mock the use of tone tags, you may not need them but some people do, not everyone can tell when something is a joke, when someone’s either being platonic, romantic or sexual in intentions, etc.,, especially when there’s no visual cues or tones of voice to help us, just be nice about it, it’s... really not hard, man. if you don’t use a tone tag and someone reads the tone of your statement incorrectly, do not get upset with them or laugh at them for not getting it - that is perpetuating ableism and/or sanism, whether you intentionally intend it or not. just kindly clarify and next time, keep in mind that tone tags are very helpful for neurodivergent, disabled and people with anxiety disorders. using a tone tag isn’t an excuse to be mean either, you can’t just say something mean or not cool and then put /j ( “joking” ) after it to get away with it, don’t be an ass. if you’re saying something that could be anxiety inducing for others, i would highly recommend putting the tone tags at not only the end but also the beginning of that post. do not intentionally use tone tags incorrectly “as a joke”, to confuse people, etc., the entire point of tone tags is to clarify, not confuse people, if you intentionally use them incorrectly, you’re an ass. keep in mind that no one has to use all the tone tags, use what you’d like, respect others who use what they would like, use them however feels rights to you. for me personally, sometimes i use multiple, sometimes only one, or sometimes none at all, just do what feels right, depending on who i’m talking to and how long i’ve known this person or group of people i’m speaking to, it’ll be fine, and if someone asks for clarification on what you mean, that’s okay, kindly clarify for them. additionally, please be patient if people don’t know what tone tags are, someone might not even be aware of what they are and that’s not their fault, just patiently explain it to them or link them to a source !! education always helps !! please don’t use “/srs or serious” as a joke, some neurodivergent and/or disabled people don’t need you to use three tone tags, and in my case, i’m presuming you’re neurotypical if you’re doing that when conversing with me, but what i’m trying to say is it looks like you’re babying us neurodivergents / disabled folx, so try to use only two tags ( that is, if that person is okay with it !! ), because some people don’t need you to use three tags.
please note that the following aren’t every single example out there and there are different terminologies in different languages, but they are important, a few examples of these are: 
“/j = joking / used when saying something in a joking manner, “so im pretty much the president of oreos /j”, 
“/hj = half joking / used when saying something that’s kind of a joke but kind of serious / “well,,,,, im usually right /hj” /

“/ij = referring to something that’s only understood by people with special knowledge about something, typically only a small group of friends or a group of people would be aware of, those outside of the group would most likely be confused by it or not find it funny in the same way people within in the group would / “aAAAAAAAAA MY NUGGIES!!!!! /ij””, 
“/ref = a reference to media, usually movies, tv, music, etc., “yOU SHALL NOT PAAAAAAAASSSSSSS /ref”, 
“/t = teasing, use when teasing someone or provoking someone, often playfully, “aiight sure mx idk wtf im doin /t”, 
“nm = not mad, to indicate you’re not actually mad or upset about something / “ow... i felt that /nm”, 
“lu = a little upset / used when about about something or someone, but not too upset / “oh... that sucks /lu”, 
“/nbh = “nobody here” = often used when talking about something vague to ensure your friends it’s not indirectly to or about them / “sometimes i just wanna..... tell someone to shut the fuck up /nbh”, 
“/nay = not at you / used when saying something but not meaning it at the person you’re responding to / “god i can’t stand lame people /nay”, 
“/ay = “at you”, make the person aware you’re addressing them”, 
“/g or /gen = used when saying or asking something for real / “i’m proud of you /g” or “have you watched the news?? /gen”,

“/m = metaphor / used when saying something metaphorically / “god you’re a shining star /m””
“/li = literal / used when saying something literally / “i hate pears /li””
“/rh = rhetorical / a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer / used when saying or asking something rhetorically / “who cares? /rh””

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK !! i’m literally soo excited rn can’t even use my words lol ! charles aka edward was the first skeleton i clicked on and i instantly knew i had to play him ( i love an asshole heheheheh ) ! anyway i’m madi i’m nineteen and i go by she/her !! 
Tumblr media
quick note: bc i’m using charles melton as a fc i changed his name from charles to edward ! just incase anyone is confused ! :-)
( charles melton, cismale, he/him ). hey, isn’t that [ EDWARD CHARLES SEONG ] walking down bennington street? i think the [ 28 ] YEAR OLD [ INVESTMENT BANKER ] is from [ WAITSFIELD, VERMONT ]. i’ve heard some rumors down at ginger’s, saying that they’re [ OBSTINATE & EGOCENTRIC ], but then again they’re known to be [ ASTUTE & MAGNETIC ].  either way, they seem to be interesting, hope they’ll stick around
so for this post i’m going to condense things into bullet points but if you would like to read the full bio you can find that here ! also if for some reason you want even more to look at i have a pinterest, playlist, and his stats u can peak at !
no thoughts head empty
uGH okay fine. 
edward comes from an affluent family located in waitsfield, vermont. his father worked as an investment banker and although his mother didn’t necessarily have a “job” she was highly involved in the community. they were the type of people to flaunt their wealth, and they generally had a reputation in the town as being snooty and proud.
his childhood was cold. his parents spared no time or affection for the young boy, and due to his family’s negative reputation his social circle was relatively small. he did have the boisterous streak running through him from the start but he didn’t really become the social butterfly eddie we know and love until he went away to boarding school. 
his parents went thru a messy messy divorce when he was a teen due to his fathers infidelity and most of his commitment issues stem from them oop.
his parents also put a Lot of pressure on him to be perfect.
at private school surrounded by nothing but other privileged rich kids he quickly discovered that being overly confident and obnoxious could actually get him all of the attention he craved in his childhood, and that’s when party boy edward was born. the schools didn’t like it though and he bounced from private school to private school across the eastern seaboard. 
despite his antics he charmed most of his professors and did really well academically
after spending a gap year in europe he moved to new york city to study at columbia which is when he became suuuuper motivated. he wanted to be a nyc finance bro so bad and so he followed in his dads footsteps and studied finance. 
he took all of his partying and shoved it into short but intense weekends, which rly just made it worse. 
just before he graduated and entered the business world™ his father became the centre of a serious fraud case. it destroyed edward’s credibility and it took him years and a lot of work to get his career back on track ( he’s makin Coin now tho bbs don’t worry ). his dad is in prison but like,, don’t bring it up w edward hehe he’s sensitive abt it. 
edward is very self destructive. the issues he has forming emotional connections and caring abt ppl paired with the massive pressure he puts on himself cause him to have a general disregard for his own life, and it shows.
he desperately craves attention and admiration and uses partying as a way to get it. partying is also pretty much his only copping mechanism, and its not a healthy one. he in a v bad cycle of his high stress work week and wild weekends. 
( alcohol/smoking/drugs tw ) he is a heavy heavy drinker and also frequent user of party drugs ( coke and molly in particular ). he also was a smoker but recently quit when he started dating raph. ocassionally he’ll slip up and have a cig though. he’s also trying to party less now but with it being his only outlet for stress he def struggles with that.
bb has a looooooooooong kill list oops
v much a coffee addict, especially when he’s hungover, he has work to do after all.
can be v abrasive and argumentative, he’s v hard to get along w especially if you don’t know him well. loves a good debate hehe.
is actually a super loyal friend if he actually feels secure in the friendship, he just has a hard time trusting that ppl actually care abt him. will stick up for his friends sooo much. also just wants to make everyone have a good time. can be insensitive to ppls feelings though bc he always thinks he knows best. 
his biggest fear is becoming his father. that’s why he doesn’t do monogamous relationships bc it’s better to not try at all than to try and fail. 
he’s a vvvvvv lonely person, even when surrounded by friends : (
wears a lot of suits. if he isn’t wearing a suit he’s wearing  boat shoes, khakis, and a pastel button up bc he’s a preppy ass pos
i hate him sm 
he’s so cocky ew
likes picking up the tab for his friends bc he knows he’s a lil rich bitch who can afford it hehe. 
almost exclusively eats take out, does not know how to cook for himself. yet is still somehow in perfect shape ????
has really bad insomnia. will often be up all night and just distracting himself with whatever work he can find. 
literally work hard play hard that’s him.
reads the newspaper every morning, esp the finance section obvi
drives a vintage mercedes convertible that Guzzles gas. he loves it but doesn’t get to drive it enough bc theres no point w city traffic. loves getting the chance to drive out of the city, he speeds v bad tho.

I went to apologize and everything is ok, mainly because they’re going to sleep
What kind of selfish pos cries are rejecting someone’s attempt reach out and check on them(that they requested in the first place!!)
#you cant have feelings if youre sleep 👍🏾#i on the other hand#will stay up for idk how long and be a giant ball of unorganized emotion#I should take the time to write down the few things I know I wanted to talk about#but theyre all things that Im low let afraid to bring up so I kinda dont want to make sure I wont forget#like I’m p sure he approached her about *** with ** again and she reacted negatively again#I woke up while they were talking about it#llike I couldnt really hear them since I was in my room and they were in the livingroom#and I wasnt really trying to listen but at one point she raised her voice so I’m p sure I heard what she said#and it was almost definitely pretaing to me as she specificaly said the words ‘my best friend’ in reguards to how she could watch him do xyz#w/ her best friend so Im extremely curious about that conversation#thats probably the most important thing#the other 3 things don’t really matter#jic tho#fear of enjoying the moment leading to regrets#I’m glad you were able to get something out of tour system/ can I get something out of mine?#I’d actually like it if you kept checking in on my blog#I like being about to express myself (with the blog) and I want to be able to be open and honest with you#because if I’m being honest#holding it inside and not saying anything makes things worse for me personally/aince I’ve accepted that I’m gonna lose I might as well so it#in the most healthy way I can#why am I losing? Because I hate exposing myself and since you dont talk about how this stuff makes you feel I feel like things are uneven#but I dont have any right to ask that tou express yourself like I so#because maybe thats not whats healthy for you#so I just have to accept that if Im gonna feel shitty either way#I might as well do the thing that will make me feel 5% less shitty#pos

FWB conclusion?
I put a question mark because who knows if this is done - this conversation or this relationship. 
So I’m pretty sure he’s talking to someone else.  How deep their relationship goes, I have no idea.  I feel stupid and disrespected in that aspect because I thought he was seriously changing and I thought our relationship was so good. I’m also hurt because he knows I don’t have emotions towards anything really yet I have feelings towards him and I feel like he took advantage of them.  
Anyways, I texted him today essentially saying that if he was going to be consistently seeing or sleeping with other people I want to know so I can remove myself from the equation.  I said I didn’t want to be made to look stupid and I didn’t want to be disrespected.  I said that as not only a human being but also as someone he’s been sleeping with for a year, I’d hope he’d respect me enough to tell me.
He essentially glossed over it all saying “I understand that. Fair enough. Etc. I’m really busy with this house stuff, and traveling, and working, blah blah blah, so just because I don’t have a lot of time right now I don’t want you to feel like that’s a negative regard to you. Where are these feelings of disrespect coming from?”
And since I can’t tell him that I’m a psychopath and I’m basically an FBI agent I said “I just want to make sure we’re on the same page because if I start consistently seeing someone, I would let you know”
He didn’t once say he wasn’t seeing anyone else. He didn’t say that he liked or respected me too.  It felt like he had to explain himself and throw it back on “well I’m just so busy.” It isn’t about you being busy. We’ve weathered busy spells before. It’s about you being a piece of shit and treating me like I’m nothing. I feel like it’s all been a lie. I hate when shitty people masquerade as good people. Just own who you are, I’d respect you more.
I don’t know what that means for the future. He’ll either recognize that I’m five seconds away from calling it off and get his shit together or he’ll continue to be a pos. And tbh, I don’t really know if I want to see him again. But I do know I need space from him. I don’t really want to talk to him and I don’t really want to see him right now.
