I JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING DUNE PART 2 AND HOLY FUCK OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT HOLY FUUUUCK I NEED TO. I NEED TO. I NEED TO TALK SO BAD HOLY SHIT

below the cut because oh boy do i have a lot to say and i dont want my poor followers to suffer when i post this

oh my god okay okay where do i even start

opening with irulan's narration to mirror her notes in the openings of the chapters of the book. oh yeah baby. i ate that right up

watching paul get close with the fremen,,,,, fucking hell that hurts. dune really is a tragedy at the end of the day huh. they go from reluctant allies to friends but the whole time you know the switch will happen any moment now and they will be devotees and he will be messiah and that gap between them will never be as small as it is out in the sand. huddled in those tents. sharing drinks and laughs. im not doing ok

this especially hurts with chani. their love is so genuine and pure and she wears blue for him (which by the way sticks out so much more with how muted the colors of the rest of the movie are... i could talk about this all day) but she can see what he is becoming and he's trying to avoid it for her so hard but there's no avoiding fate. LORD ABOVE!!!!

i loveeee jessica being the manipulator thats pulling all the strings, urging paul towards becoming messiah. rebecca ferguson is such a talented actress she really understands the character so well. also as a hashtag certified alia atreides enjoyer her scheming with her unborn fetus might be the most unhinged thing ever but thats also so fucking funny aka its as dune as it gets. dune is WEIRD and im glad theyre not shying away from that. thank u denis

arrakis looks so much more beautiful in this movie like theres defo been some changes with how its framed and presented it feels so much grander and idk just ??? what it makes me think is that we're not seeing arrakis, we're finally seeing dune. we're seeing the land as the fremen see it as paul becomes one of them. i might be looking too much into it but who cares. god i love this movie

but yes more on the fremen in the first section of the movie. i like how there's this cluster of non-believers almost?? its a nice breath of fresh air. its hard to believe every single person would be just devoted to the prophecy and it adds some depth.

i will say the one thing i didnt like is the way stilgar is characterized?? i dont think he was so blindly devoted to paul in the books, and definitely not alia and leto ii after him as the atreides line went on. he's always been a source of small doubt towards paul but i think they're moving that element of him onto chani, so i think i can let it slide. i'd like to see him question alia more in the future though.

the scene where paul was named muad'dib and usul??? god it was so cute which made it so heart wrenching. all the fremen coming together and welcoming him into their lives. as a brother. as a friend. only for him to turn around and make them all bow before him. ohhhhh i cant do this

OH BOY THE WORMS THE WORMS AND THE WORM RIDING AND THE AHHHHHHHHH OH LORD

jesus christ. what the fuck. how is this allowed on cinema screens how is something so amazing allowed

the tension. the effects. the sound design. the sand rushing past the wind the worm moving forward paul struggling to hold on the fremen all watching and then cheering him on HOLY FUCKKKK HOLY FUCK I WAS HOLDING MY BREATH

all the worm riding scenes were so intense and so well done like. when i first read that stuff in the books i didnt think anything could ever capture how i imagined it exactly and yet. AND YET. DENIS!!!!!!!!

once more dune hits the idea of scale SO well everything is HUGE and they MAKE YOU FEEL IT. that shows especially with geidi prime but ill talk about that in a bit. but yes this applies to the worms too lord above them WORMSSSS ARE HUGEEEE AND I LOVE THEMMMM

rebecca ferguson put her heart and soul into that water of life scene and we all need to thank her for it

the way jessica is so quick to switch up and go all in on the prophecy. it makes me think of leto's "im not asking his mother, im asking the bene gesserit" like. the bene gesserit really come first for jessica and she takes her opportunity to fulfill her duties. to be the reverend mother. to rub it all in the faces of the other bene gesserit. she is the mother of the messiah and by god will she make everyone well aware of that

okay. okay okay. i think i said my peace on the early fremen stuff. i think. okay fuck okay SHIT fuck SHIT

FEYD FUCKING RAUTHA LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

oh my god okay. okay ill admit it. i doubted austin butler. i saw the cast list and i was unsure(tm). i saw him in the trailers and my faith was restored. and holy fucking shit did he DELIVER

stellan skarsgård's baron harkonnen is already such a threatening figure it feels like it would be impossible to make someone even more terrifying and yet. AND YET

just the way he's introduced. killing servants with zero remorse. LICKING THAT KNIFE THE WAY HE DID??? OKAY WHORE. I SEE YOU. GO RIGHT AHEAD. MAKE IT SLUTTY IN HOUSE HARKONNEN. I RESPECT IT

when the arena doors open and that loud ass fucking music BOOMS. makes the room fucking SHAKE. thats a PRESENCE right there. THATS how you introduce your antagonist.

the music playing as he fights being as fucking deranged as he is. chaotic and weird and unsettling. just. oh my god feyd had such a presence from the moment he showed up and he did not lose it for a single second. you could feel him LOOMING over the movie the whole time just as he looms over the whole book from his very first scene. oh my goddddd oh my godd

GEIDI PRIME. THE ARENA. THAT MASSIVE HARKONNEN PALACE. oh my god. once more. that sense of scale. the harkonnens love to flaunt their wealth so ofc they have huge fuck off arenas and castles where everything and everyone feels so SMALL in comparison.

dont even get me started on the black and white. the way it accents those coal black teeth and mouths. the way it makes everything look so much more inhuman and clinical and PERFECT because harkonnen power is so absolute and ruthless.

and the way the baron sits so so high above watching the fighting. literally impossible to picture his elevation above his people above the rest of the universe. the way feyd looks to him for approval after every movement. even as his uncle is trying to kill him they exchange those little looks and feyd knows hes getting his chance to show off while the baron gives him his "gift" what a fucked up family what the hell

speaking of fucked up family! wow! they are SO fucked up! there is something seriously strange being hinted at with feyd and the baron! feyd making his own brother bow and kiss his boot! those constant threats of death against rabban as if theyre nothing! this family is capital f FUCKED up. they hurt each other as much as they hurt everyone around them. theyre made of violence and blood and they could never show each other kindness because they dont know such a thing

what can i say about the feyd/margot scenes that hasnt been said already. like wow just unpack the boy's trauma like that. use him and then throw him to the wolves. once again the bene gesserit make it so clear this is THEIR empire and THEIR bloodlines and THEIR messiah. too bad jessica doesnt see that collective "ours" and instead settles for "mine" when it comes to the messiah

special shout out to dave bautista before i move on. just cause. his rabban doesnt get enough love. he really sells that balance of ruthless power but also incompetency compared to his brother so well. can you guys tell i REALLY like this cast

WE ACTUALLY GOT TO SEE GURNEY PLAYING THE BALISET WE FUCKING WIN Y'ALL

the paul/gurney reunion being the last shred of the old paul. how he gets so happy "i recognized your footsteps, old man" shoot me in the fucking brain stem it would HURT LESS

a bit off topic and it happened earlier (sorry my thoughts are so all over the place) but i like how they actually showed the process of how the water of life is made. it was actually exactly like how i imagined it when i read the books so thats neat !!

anyway. back to the horrors.

i already talked so much about feyd's presence so just another small note. that scene in sietch tabr. he is a MONSTER and i am EATING IT UP

i cant even begin to explain. how much it fucked me up. when paul took the water of life. i knew thats where we were going. i knew it was unavoidable. and yet still. when chani bent over him and screamed at everyone for making him follow this prophecy. when she was forced to shed tears to save his life. when she got him back only to realize she lost him and he wasnt the person she loved anymore. it broke me

chani's utter hatred for the prophecy and what paul is becoming added to it so much. i know some people are unhappy with how much shes been changed from the books but i think its elevated her character and all these scenes so much. and oh my god does zendaya DELIVER when the spotlight is on her. i never doubted her for a moment but all those changes to chani really allowed to let her shine. thats that euphoria acting coming out baby !!!!

SPEAKING OF GOOD ACTING

TIMOTHEE

FUCKING

CHALAMET

listen i hate the fact that he gets cast in everything these days as much as everyone but hes such a talented actor and i cant deny this anymore. the water of life scene really sold it for me.

he was such a perfect paul already in the first movie but this was the moment it really came out. the way he wakes up so calm and collected. lifeless. monotone. theres nothing theres literally nothing

paul atreides the boy who became duke far too young is dead usul who was the lover of chani is dead muad'dib the fedaykin fighter is dead only the kwisatz haderach remains and thats what the prophecy was always leading us to and yet the moment it happens its so haunting

like i cannot say this enough. that complete switch is so sudden but so subtle at the same time. its still paul technically but hes so different

what makes dune's weird concepts so easy to take in once you get into the book is all that internal monologue that really leads you through these complex concepts slowly. and yet in a few shots and a few lines of dialogue timothee chalamet somehow manages to express the idea of "i just learned the secrets of the fucking universe and im about to start a holy war" ???? HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THIS???? HOW ARE YOU THIS TALENTED???? OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! IT WAS A FEW LOOKS A FEW MOVENTS JUST THE RIGHT TONE OF VOICE AND THATS HIM!!! THATS HIM BABY!!!! THATS THE KWISATZ HADERACH AND THE UNIVERSE IS FUCKED !!!!!!!!!

also. anya taylor joy alia. we only had you for a split second but i cannot wait for you. im sure youre going to completely slay the third movie. give us our beloved tragic meow meow. alia is my fave character so i will be JUDGING HEAVILY. she better bring her a-game istg

when paul storms the war council and just completely takes control of the room so easily. thats the bene gesserit conditioning giving him his pedestal and he is making the most of it. he knows exactly what the fuck hes doing. and once more oh my goddddd all that shouting all that emotion and yet a complete lack of it. timothee spare a crumb of talent for the rest of us

also the way in that scene gurney is hesitant about it all until paul proclaims himself the duke of arrakis. and suddenly gurney has house atreides again and he doesnt care what chani does anymore. hes a follower to paul just as everyone else in that room. nothing changes. fuck me man i cant do this anymore

have i mentioned yet im so excited for chani in the next movie. her arc is so interesting. children of dune is defo not happening with the way chani has been set up so i doubt we'll see leto ii and ghanima but. lets hope we still get all the cool stuff wit alia at least. and maybe chani can be the one who leads the charge against her

okay i need to really fucking. get along with it im dragging this post on im so sorry this movie is eating my brain alive

chani still wearing blue during the final fight. im not saying more than that i might cry if i think about it too much

THAT. FINAL. FIGHT. OH MY GODDD OH MY GOD

IT ALL CAME TOGETHER SO SO WELL

THE WORMS

THE SENSE OF SCALE

THE FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY

THE MUSIC HOLY FUCK THE MUSIC HANS ZIMMER YOU OUTDO YOURSELF EVERY TIME

THE SOUND

EVERYTHING FLOWING TOGETHER SO WELL

the way the fremen fight for their messiah but still fly the atreides banner. the way paul leads them as their messiah and as a "fremen" but always proclaims himself duke of house atreides first. oh lorddd im unwell

every time paul menacingly emerged from fog/sand/smoke my life was extended by like 10 years thank u denis

gurney killing rabban with as much ease as he did cleared my skin and watered my crops <3

the way the baron was literally dying and still crawling towards the throne.......... the way at the same time feyd ignored him completely and looked towards the doors reveling in the fight ahead..... if that doesnt tell u everything you need to know about house harkonnen idk what will yall

i also love how no one intervenes as paul walks in and kills the baron. not even feyd. feyd looks like he was a little TOO into it as paul killed him tbh. feyd u little freak. austin butler you talented talented man. im unwell

i AM sad we didnt get to see baby alia stab him but ah well. we got a bunch of other weird dune shit so ill let this one slide. the psychic toddler may be too much even for denis and everything he did give us. we'll always have our 1984 alia <3

OHOHOHOHOHOHOH. OH. HERE WE GO

HERE WE GO YALL

THE SCENE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE READING THE BOOK

THE SCENE THEY SHOWED BITS OF IN THE TRAILER AND THE SCENE IVE BEEN NON STOP YEARNING FOR SINCE!!!

THE DUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my god oh my god oh my goddddd where do i even start

okay so. the way theres no music. no fancy cuts no slow mo no over the top effects. its just the slashing of the blades and those BEAUTIFUL shadowed shots with the setting sun in the background. this really is the sun setting on the peaceful universe. just pain and suffering ahead marked with the blood spilled from the two who were meant to produce the messiah but who both got thrown off this path by the greed and selfishness of their forefathers. guys im normal about paul and feyd. definitely. i definitely have very normal thoughts about how they are foils and yet two sides of the same coin. yes guys

paul making the emperor kiss his ring is already such an insane fucking scene and it translated to the screen so well. amazing performances all around

i didnt talk much about florence pugh's irulan but she really didnt have much time to shine. im excited to see where she goes next and i definitely think shes a great fit but i need to see more of her to really be able to say more

i will say this. the way chani, irulan and jessica are the only ones who dont kneel for paul. the three most important women in his life who give him his power, everything he has. jessica made him and she made him the messiah. chani opened her life up to him, helped him become and in turn control the fremen, and she shed her tears for him and fulfilled her role in the prophecy against her wishes. irulan is his path to the throne, his key to being emperor. and none of them bow before him because why would they bow before a power they are responsible for, a power they own, a power they gave?

but for chani its different ofc. she also refuses to bow because she despises everything paul stands for.

oh my god i could say so much about the last scene being chani. not paul reveling in his victory. paul leaves for his next bloodshed and chani is left behind crying for the person she loves who she knows is gone. crying for her people, again enslaved. crying those same tears that brought the messiah back into this world.

theres a lot to be said about the role of gender in dune and how it hangs over every facet of this world but thats a whole separate analysis post to be had so ill just throw it down here in this little point

another thing chani does very well in the movies is she really makes paul's villainy explicitly clear. SO many people read dune and completely misunderstand it and walk away from it concluding its a "white savior narrative" and nothing more which. yes!! yes it is!!!! but thats not a good thing!!!! its never stated to be a good thing!!!!

this movie is not gonna let you misunderstand the message of the story no matter how blind you try to be to it. paul is not a good guy. hes never been the good guy. hes the protagonist, but hes not the hero. and chani allows that to translate from book to movie very well. have i mentioned yet i love movie chani

chani fills in the holes left behind by the narration and internal monologues of the book and, bonus points, she holds the people who dont understand what dune is about by the hand and tells them explicitly "PAUL IS A BAD GUY!!! DONT IDOLIZE PAUL!!!! DONT WALK AWAY FROM DUNE THINKING ITS PRAISING PAUL'S ACTIONS!!!"

i think thats pretty much all i had to say. i might reblog with additions as they hit me but yeah i. i enjoyed the movie. so so much. i think i might watch it again sometime soon while its still in cinemas.

sorry for being unhinged hope u enjoyed my rants. kiss kiss night night <3

[bunji-enthusiast]

Heya again!! <333 as per tradition, before I put an order, I want to say ty for feeding the PP fandom and I hope you're doing well <333 may whatever you're planning to write, original or fandom, be successful!

May I order a blast in the past, where the Hour of Joy hasn't started, Caretaker! Reader is yet again an employee at Playtime Co. and they happened to find out about the rejected isle and they were overwhelmed by the sheer cuteness and charm of the toys, they do kinda get why some of them were rejected but thought mostly they were fine.

For the sake of the plot, they got to keep the toys and bring them home with permission from the higher ups ( wow reader charisma 💯 ). As they're happily making their way back, Catnap noticed them carrying this unknown toy, giving it affection, and overall just showering it with love from the shadows and gets quite pouty about it. So much so that the rest of the smiling critters had to pry it out of him to tell them what he saw and oh boy, they too were quite pouty.

Dogday tries to reassure them that everything's alright and they agreed to " ask " more like interrogating the reader the next time they come in to work. When that happens, Reader is caught red-handed still giving that rejected toy their love and affection, Dogday sends the rest of the group off so he and Catnap could talk it out with Reader more privately. Ends with them getting the full story and the smiling critters getting their fair share of love and affection, especially Catnap who's by the way still pouting about the whole ordeal 😂

I really just wanna see this sleepy cat having someone else he could actually trust as a parent figure and him just getting worried that his place might be taken away by some rejected toy 🥹 ahhh I'm starting to love him more and more slowly,, the Smiling Critters are such babies and I love themmmm

Signs Of Love

Note || yesss insomnia kitty needs love, all of em need love 💕

WC || 1,931

Sypnosis || Misunderstandings occur, but as quickly as they come, they can also very much leave.

You were quite the lover of many things, having been assigned to be a caretaker when your superiors saw how well you integrated yourself into the role at your interview. They are quite fond of you and all their other caretakers, since they know you all (you and the rest of the caretakers) are the only ones able to keep all the toys and children in line. 

Though the children were mostly left to the Playcare Attendants as the caretakers were more or less focused on the toys themselves. It was without a hint of a doubt, you certainly had garnered the attention of many toys. Some who liked you, though it really was the Smiling Critters who liked you more than most.

Yet when you found out about the rejected toys, you thought it was really saddening that they were even rejected in the first place – though you understood why – you just wanted to simply take them home with you!

Deciding to try and convince a higher-up to take one home, that is exactly what you did.

“Ma’am, please look at this adorable potato!” You held up the rejected toy in your hands, clearly enough for your superior who shrunk back in surprise against her recliner chair. She let out an exasperated sigh, recollecting herself as she adjusted her position on the seat.

“I am well aware,” She begins, gesturing to the rejected toy. “But by no means are you allowed to take it home, rejected or not–it is still company property.”

You frown as you search your mind for conceivable reasoning to convince your superior, you sigh as the toy falls out of your hands, landing on your lap. “W-well, maybe I could keep it for a little while?” You jump up, your hands landing straightforwardly on her desk. “Like a-a security precaution!” 

A frown adorns her face in return to your earlier one, crossing her arms across the top of the desk as gently as she possibly could. Appearing to be searching your face for any lying or incompetence, her shoulders slump in defeat. “Very well, if you insist.”

“Keep it.”

You let out a yelp of success, almost falling backward as you did so. You grin, an exasperated noise leaving your throat as you cautiously upright yourself, as to not uproot or accidentally change her mind in turn. Your hands make their way to your superiors, shaking them to be polite. “Thank you thank you! You won’t regret this.” You smile at her, then let go of her hand as she is left in befuddlement by the actions that had just happened. 

Normally you weren’t much of an extroverted person, only conversing and confronting social situations when necessary. But you had simply felt joy bursting through your veins at the accomplishment you had achieved, to convince a superior to let you keep the rejected toy! (One of the rejected toys at least, you couldn’t do much else for the rest as much as you wanted too) Now you were making your way back, rejected toy in hand and you had a lot of affection to give it.

Too bad it wasn’t alive as much as the other toys you knew were, but at least it was alive in your own heart.

A familiar figure in the distance resting on a rooftop had taken notice of this quite easily, may it be quite the discovery they had found. CatNap couldn’t let this go unnoticed, a strange pang resided in the depths of his hollow yet dense chest. The giant cat couldn’t pinpoint the feeling he felt, not knowing what name to put to the feeling he felt so strongly, like a parasite it wouldn’t leave him alone.

He felt a strange guise of loneliness, noticing how much you began giving the unknown toy such a sudden bout of affection and hugging. Even nuzzling it as well to boot, CatNap was jealous?

How strange, CatNap wasn’t entirely familiar with the concept of emotions. Even with how certain ones could flare up at times, depending in response to the situation, whatever one he may be in. CatNap got up, stretching his finely tuned legs. CatNap wasn’t prepared for the others to pry the information out of him, trying to figure out what he saw and knew. He almost felt a little intimated, but he was… in the sense very emotional–even beneath his sleepy and quiet demeanor.

Then he could feel himself justified for the guilt of jealousy.

Well, CatNap certainly did expect the outcry, all at the same time he truly didn’t expect it either. The group, he felt rightly justified in their emotions as he had reported it to them, he too was quite in earnest – very jealous of the unknown toy. KickinChicken spoke externally with the whole of his heart, “This sucks! Why does that toy get more love than we do?”

“I wanted a hug!” Bobby cried, sitting on the floor as Crafty had patted her back, trying to gently soothe her. The colorful unicorn too was upset, yet she hid it very well. Picky had remained quiet, just stuffing her face with an apple to conceal her upset, she had big emotions and wasn’t sure on how to deal with them unlike the rest of the Smiling Critters.

Hoppy on the other hand was pounding the ground with her feet, hopping around so as to not completely create noise. She was woefully upset too as it appeared to CatNap, he hadn’t expected any of them to take this information the way they did. But they had pried it out of him, He didn't know what they were expecting to hear anyway.

CatNap’s voice came out short and strained as he made an attempt to comfort any of them, “It’s ok–” His voice fell on deaf ears, CatNap huffed a puff of red air. His tail lapping about, then overlaying to rest upon his left leg.

Bubba was muttering to himself, rapidly tapping his feet. As if his intellect could formulate a reason as to why this had happened, alas CatNap knew the elephant was simply just trying to find reason in coping with his emotion.

Believe it or not, CatNap pays very good attention to all the Smiling Critters. They are his friends after all.

“Guys!--” The group still went on, continuously upset. No means of comfort getting through to them. “GUYS.”

His visibly noticeable purple fur rustled about as he sat down, noticing that DogDay was finally back in leadership mode. CatNap didn’t know what to do to calm them all down anyway, he was pouty and upset as they were. DogDay spoke slowly, “I’ll ask Angel what’s up, maybe we just don’t understand it fully. Okay?”

The group notices, finally relenting in defeat. None of them questioned him as DogDay always had a way with words usually, he wasn’t one to go wrong as he was the leader of the group for a very good reason.

As the group clamored to find you, you weren’t that hard to find surprisingly. Mostly as you were hard to find other times, they could all easily see that you were still found with the rejected toy. Sitting back on your chair that you had found, and giving it all the affection that had made a few members quite pouty.

“Guys, let's take it easy. Me and CatNap will talk with Angel alone,” DogDay motions for them to take their leave, holding out his hands before he elaborated. “Let’s not take it personally, okay? I don’t think it’s that complicated.” 

KickinChicken sighs, as Bobby and the other few do. They all take their leave, showing that Hoppy was still there. She points at DogDay, then CatNap who was confused by the predicament. A silent gesture.

Nothing weird boys, you got that?

DogDay nods at Hoppy, who finally leaves as she hops away to rejoin the rest of the group. CatNap taps DogDay’s shoulder, gesturing that he should take the lead on this chat. His own paw comes up to pat CatNap’s, “I know bud, but let’s not overdo this.”

If the sunny leader were to be honest right about now, he too felt a pang of jealousy at the lack of affection and attention that he hadn’t received like his fellow critters. 

You were aimlessly cooing at the rejected toy, happily partaking in giving it all manners of affection (nothing weird, ahem). It certainly had a charm and adorableness too it that you couldn’t ignore, you have no idea as to why the designers and superiors had rejected this design or any other one in the reject aisle that you saw for that matter. 

Suddenly you felt a creeping chill crawl up your spine, traveling thoroughly all the ways to your shoulders and sides. 

Feeling two taps on your shoulder almost had you jolting, causing you to turn around to see CatNap and DogDay standing right behind you, albeit very menacingly from your perspective. “DogDay? E-eh CatNap?!” 

DogDay waved his hands, trying his best to reassure you, “Sorry we didn’t mean to frighten you like that Angel!” CatNap nodded along with DogDay’s words, doing his best to affirm that fact. You sigh in relief, hand very visibly held to your chest.

“So..” You straighten your posture as DogDay and CatNap came around you and sat down, to really level with you at most. “What’s up? Anything bothering you or the others?” You shrug, jabbing a questioning thumb as you spoke, directly in the general direction. They both knew what you meant, but they had more pressing matters.

DogDay let out a breath, before he spoke as to steel his nerves. CatNap deadpans, directed toward DogDay, emotional expression clearly evident despite the restriction of movement his own mouth has. “Well, we just… uh, wanted to know what was up with you.” DogDay pauses, then pointed at the toy which was unknown to him laying in your lap.

“And that.” He emphasized, wincing as he searched your face for any reaction. Suddenly what had surprised the two was how you began to laugh and giggle, waving your hand as the other clutched your stomach.

“Ah.. I’m sorry.” You shook your head, wiping your face. “Were you boys… perhaps jealous of this?” A small grin plasters on your face, with convoluted happiness as you held up the toy in question.

DogDay felt embarrassed, looking away as to not stutter or speak any words. CatNap sighed in reprieve, laying his head upon his front legs. Those actions alone had answered your question that effortlessly. “I see..” You couldn’t help but try and stifle the giggle, they were simply so adorable.

Them, jealous? It’s so cute. You really couldn’t resist their pouty moods, so you calm them down, proceeding to tell them the whole story so they didn’t have a misinformed perception of the situation.

You happily spread your loving and hugs to all the Smiling Critters and CatNap individually.

Albeit, CatNap was a little embarrassed that he had saw your situation with the rejected toy incorrectly. Feeling as if he might’ve been replaced.

You had reassured him individually as you had taken your time with each of the members, “I would never replace you CatNap! There’s always room for everyone..”

“Even you.”

You grin, booping CatNap’s nose. He recoiled back as he had the set revelation, CatNap slumped as he gave in to your very touchy movements. Feeling your hands thread throughout his fur, CatNap was content that he now knew.

He really had no reason to worry.

He truly was loved.

Siblings Never Get Along

[I hate you guys 😭😭😭 WHY THEMMMM] Summary: Azula and Zuko had never gotten along, especially when they share the same interest in certain Firebender.

Zuko loved you longer than Azula

Azula first gained a crush on you because of her jealousy

^ Zuko had something she didn't. Something that she wanted so bad, but didn't have

She would steal your attention away from her brother and threaten you if you didn't come with her

With all the time you spend with her [By force], she does begin to gain real, true feelings

She gets jealous of even her own friends

Now Zuko, he knows there's real competition because he's the nicest to you, and he knows you'll run into his arms soon enough

But he does get impatient

Just like Azula, he has temperamental issues and can only wait for so long

You have to make the choice

And no matter who you choose, it's going to end badly for you

If you choose Azula, Zuko will get angry and when they fight for Firelord and he ultimately wins and Azula get put away, he has you choose yet again and when you choose her, he won't allow it

Now say you do choose Zuko, Azula will slowly lose her sanity and just fall apart and you'll feel so bad, because you grew up with her, that you end up leaving Zuko, but it's already too late, Azula is already gone

Now say you try and choose neither or them or someone else, they'll end up working together, which is the worst option for you, because they would go back to the beginning and constantly bicker and fight for your attention, even though you're being kept in cage and have no where else to go

It really is all your fault, because you did have choices, you just choose wrong

[But you never had a REAL choice, did you?]

[nyarlathotep-thecrawlingchaos]

Why do both Shanks and Mihawk feel like they'd get endlessly riled up by being teased throughout the day (gentle whispered promises of what's to come, discreet teasing touches that linger too long yet still not enough, obviously purposeful peeks of skin) yet in completely different ways too. Like brat taming aside, Shanks feels like he'd be so into a more devious teasing of 'playing with almost getting caught but not', yet Mihawk somehow gives the 'so subtle only I am noticing what my partner is doing' vibes, AND ALSO Shanks is giving 'likes devious teasing' energy and Mihawk is giving 'like "submissive" teasing energy's (in the sense that Shanks would get more riled up by someone giving more smirks, teasing, touches and being more outwardly obvious about it, and Mihawk would get more riled up with whispered 'I can't wait for you to-' kind of teasing ((mostly because it feeds his ego 😂)) and subtle touches and stares where nobody but him can decipher the meaning) and this fluctuates depending on their mood obviously, plus whoever's perspective when it comes to writing them, but still. T H E M. THEMMMM.

Oh dear lord yes they both are. Two sides of the same coin, but both?

Guuuuhhhh BOTH—

Also Shanks is Miguel and Mihawk is Tulio and I will not be accepting any debate on this subject

I was good, she was hot, stealin' everything she got,

I was bold, she was over the worst of it

Shanks being more obvious about it, for sure.

Shanks has no issues at all with public displays of affection. Lives for the thrill of it, to be honest.

The more obvious you are, the more riled up he's going to get.

Sit yourself down in his lap, cup your hands around his ear, whisper all your filthiest fantasies while he's in a situation where he has to wait, and he's going to have trouble remembering how words work, much less sentences.

Just smirking to himself when you lean down behind him and wrap your arms around his neck, press yourself against him and brush your lips to his neck.

The more you tease him throughout the day, the more he's going to tease you once he has you alone later.

Laying you across his bed and slowly stripping your clothes from your body between slow, teasing kisses across every inch of skin he exposes.

Being absolutely relentless about it, his lips and fingers trailing softly all over your naked form, giving you just enough pleasure to make you beg for more.

Swirling his tongue around your nipples, trailing his lips slowly down your stomach, brushing them across your inner thighs, glancing up to meet your gaze and flashing a grin at you.

"Oh, but princess, you made me wait all day. I think you can wait just a bit longer."

Mihawk is going to act like you're annoying him the whole time.

Tossing a warning glare at you when you slip your hand up his thigh under the table.

Scowling when you brush past him and whisper a few vulgar words in his ear.

Pulling you to him when no one else is looking just to scold you and ask whether you're looking to be punished.

But you know damned well he's looking forward to it just as much as you are.

You know how much he enjoys you being an insatiable little brat.

You know he loves putting you in your place, and you love giving him reason to.

You know that once you're behind closed doors, he's going to pin you to that door by your wrists, look you right in the eyes while he slowly slits open your clothes with kogatana before sheathing the knife and tossing it aside.

Refusing to release your hands while his free hand roams across every inch of your exposed skin.

Caressing your neck and your waist, squeezing your breasts, your ass, rubbing hard against your clit, reveling both in your helpless moans and the sheer amount of control he has over your body.

Nipping at your neck while he murmurs in your ear every last little thing he intends to do to you.

"Now tell me, my darling little bird...who is the one in control, here?"

Helllooooo so the wip I posted a snippet on a few days ago is finally hereeee!! You could read it on ao3 here:

Summary/snippet:

During the second night, when Bucky was barely lucid with fever, he had opened his eyes to see Gale with his head resting where he was holding Bucky’s hand in his own. “You got to fight this John” Gale whispered into their linked fingers. “Thought I lost you once. Can’t do it again” Bucky was about to turn and tell him he’s alright and that Gale needs to go to bed because his back was going to kill him in the morning with the way he was crouching like that. But he fell silent in shock as he felt moisture on his knuckles. Gale was crying silently against his hand. His breathes left him in quiet huffs as he held on to Bucky. Tears falling drop by drop. Bucky felt helpless as he squeezed his eyes shut. Felt his own eyes burning as the wave of emotions hit him like a freight train. It felt surreal to witness this. To witness Gale crying. Crying over him. Years of wondering what would make Gale break and in the end, it had been him. It filled him with shameful hope. Hope that maybe what Gale felt for him was more than just a friendship. I thought I lost you too. He thought but he had told Gale that already it feels like a privilege to feel your tears on my hands. He remained silent. Gale obviously thought Bucky is asleep so he refused to interrupt Gale’s private moment with useless words. He didn’t want Gale to put on that mask back on have to pretend he’s fine for Bucky’s sake so he just pretended to sleep. He kept his grip on Gale’s fingers strong, though. His thumb rubbed soothing circles on his knuckle as sleep and fever swallowed him again. If Gale noticed it, he never said anything about it and that was that.

Or through the years, Bucky has developed a complicated relationship with Gale crying.

Pls let me know ur thoughts and comments and anything you’d have to say rlly! Ill b more than happy to hear themmmm ❤️❤️

[tiredlilguy]

Could you maybe do Lippmann s/o hcs please?

(btw luv your acc xx <3)

a/n: a;sldkfj omg ty ty <3 i'm glad that you enjoy the account >:D i made some fluffy hc's with the actor man! i hope u enjoy themmmm; also i realized i didn't really mention the mafia aspect of him all that much, so these are mostly just a lot of domestic fluff hc's also for anyone who's interested: here's the [SB masterlist]

pairing: Lippmann X GN!Reader cw: N/A, not proofread, just a lot of fluff desc: some fluffy domestic hc's with the actor man >:D

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but he’s definitely really quiet about your relationship; he very much has a public face, but he wants to keep that life away from you, not wanting you to be in danger, nor have to deal with that sort of industry

I can imagine that if you’re with him, you’re someone he can drop all of his masks for; he’s comfortable being vulnerable with you

Enjoys laying down on your lap while you caress his hair, he’ll close his eyes and hum to himself and to you while you read or scroll through your phone

I can see him liking to practice his lines with you- he’ll be given a new script and tell you that you are every other character and he plays as himself; it’s a little goofy and sometimes he’ll make you put on different hats to help him indicate what character’s line you’re saying

Would prefer a lot or quiet moments with you, you’re the one person (besides the flags) who he can fully relax in front of

Greets you by taking your hand and kissing it, then kisses up your wrist and eventually reaches your lips (lots of loft and gentle kisses, but the kiss on your lips is a little bit more desperate)

Takes you on lots of cafe dates; because he can’t really be out and about just anywhere with anyone, he’ll take you out to a lot of cafe dates that are far away/not super popular, sometimes if he’s a regular at a certain cafe, he can ask them to close temporarily (sometimes with money) while you both enjoy your date

This man carries A LOT on his person, but if you gift him something like piece of jewelry or a ring, he’ll always have it with him in his front pocket on his slacks

OR ;;-;; sometimes his coat pockets are stuffed with old movie/show/opera tickets from places he’s taken you too; he wants to archive all of them and put them in an album, but he’s sometimes too busy, so it just stays in his pocket

Speaking of movie/show/opera’s, he definitely takes you out to dates like that; not only can he find a spot where you can both sit alone together and without anyone on his back, but also he likes to dress you up

Will sometimes take you to a fancy play just so you can wear a nice outfit he picked out

DINNER DATES ARE A MUST; he will rent out a whole restaurant for the night, and even a dance hall too (I think I mentioned this already though)

Will always be spoiling you, no matter what, if you’re eyes meet a piece of clothing/jewelry for longer than the average three seconds, he’s getting it for you, no question

He’s a very high maintenance partner, but in full honesty all he wants from you is your love and care :) you don’t have to get him any gifts or anything fancy, he just wants you

Even though he likes to spoil you, he’ll sometimes make his own bouquets out of wild flowers that he found (made sure they weren’t poisonous or anything) and wrap them nicely together with some twine :)

Always makes sure to greet you and leave you with a kiss, he never misses his time to; will sometimes just kiss you out of the blue too (he likes seeing you flustered)

I feel like Lippmann is someone who’d take care of your hair, doesn’t matter what texture/type it is, he’ll adjust to learn how to take care of it; enjoys making you sit in the bath while he washes your hair; sometimes will offer to cut it if you’d like

If he’s warming up his voice, sometimes he’ll do it while you’re doing your morning routine, will hold you while your make coffee/tea and he’s humming note exercises to himself

Whenever he’s holding you, he always has his hands around your waist and rocking you both side to side

=w= the fluffy

[also if you want, please consider getting me a coffee or commissioning me ;) no pressure ofc!!! i understand that we're all in different circumstances/situations, any support of any kind is appreciated <3]

[formulapookie]

veeeeeery interested by Tanned, shiny and free and Giving all of myself to you for obvious reasons 😏

hehhehehehe I knew ypu would've asked for those two and THANK YOU FOR DOING IT because aaaaaaagh I love themmmm

also for these anons <3

thank all of you for being so interested in my works omg ahhahaha

soooooo

onto Tanned, shiny and free it came up to me thanks to a post from @sammyche -> this one to be precise and it's about rosquez post reconciliation having their private and intimate time <3

here's the plot points

and hereeeee's a snippet

they're not directly one after the other i just wanted to put a few pieces I liked

-> and yeah it's basically those two thirsting over one another and wanting to fuck nasty because they're finally alone and can be free in their disposal of affection

ONTO THE SECOND ONE

giving all of myself to you is basically based on Vale's jealousy post reconciliation (yes I love them post reconciliation) but more specifically during a ducati event where somehow there's pur beloved Dovi, from who Marc can't seem to keep his distance

obv on purpose to piss off Vale who decides that a suitable punishment is going to be overstimulation but simply because I love that and I needed to write a rosquez something based upon it. It also includes all these things in putting below sooo don't like it don't read it (I personally loveeeeee this one)

while here's a snippet from what I've been able to produce so far (2.8k words)

---------

yeah love these to death I swear every time I write rosquez my soul gets a new place in a newly made circle of Hell

wlw in the sad swedish teens show: some thoughts

I’m going to share some stedrika thoughts, not as a meta, just as a kind of… sharing of my unsolicited personal opinions. There was a thread going around with some idea-provoking discussion, but I also feel like I’d be hijacking said thread if I weighed in. So I figured it was better to make my own post and chat there.

So I’m aro ace, but I also kind of identify with the label sapphic. I’m more gray ace than full ace, and that grayness of ace identity is 90% of the time directed toward women. I was in a romantic-sexual partnership with a woman for 2.5 years before figuring more things out. (Also, my ex was pretty toxic, so there was that.) I attended a single-sex college, continue to hang in groups of women today, and just generally exist in a social culture that leans more sapphic/wlw, homosocial, and ace. Probably the most masculinity-dominated experiences I have are logging onto my dash and watching fandom interaction that is a lot more mlm-focused than the rest of my life.

In the gap between seasons 1 and 2, I wasn’t hoping for stedrika as my wlw representation. I was hoping we would get gay or bi or ace or otherwise queer Felice. It isn’t too hard to make up a queer narrative for Felice. She connects with Wilhelm, who’s also figuring himself out, and we know how it is with the queer kids all finding one another even before they fully understand themselves what’s going on. Felice’s pursuit of Wilhelm and then pivoting to August also feels like she’s hitting the two ends of the spectrum of compulsory heterosexuality. Wilhelm is that nice, approachable boy where it’s easy to convince yourself you have a crush on him, because who wouldn’t? Also he’s a prince! August is that guy where you’re like “well if the idea of dating men is generally unpleasant all around, then dating the most unpleasant one is doing heterosexuality right, isn’t it?” Felice’s mom also puts a lot of pressure on her about boys (and that line about whose babies are royal feels like it’s something Felice would have been told growing up) in a way where you can parallel it to Kristina putting pressure on Wilhelm. There’s a lot of good queer and wlw material to work with for Felice! And I’m glad fandom hasn’t entirely given up on that, even if it doesn’t seem like canon is going that direction. (Send me your gay Felice fics where she’s the center of the story, btw. Send themmmm.)

Stedrika as wlw representation brushes up against the archetype of two femme best friends who are also roommates, one of whom is secretly pining for the other, one of whom may or may not be pining back. That archetype in its requited form is… not my favorite wlw archetype. I don’t mean I hate it, but I do mean I’m pretty “meh” about it. I read a lot of YA fiction, for both personal enjoyment and career reasons. Best-friends-to-lovers wlw comes up a lot, especially in stories where a wlw couple isn’t the center of the story. It can be enjoyable for me, if the characterization is complex enough overcome the trope itself. But I can’t help noticing how many mlm YA stories let a boy crush on the hot new boy, or someone outside his usual social circle, whereas the message for girls is “the one for you has been near you all along! Girls achieve an adventure by clicking their heels and saying There’s No Place Like Home!”

I understand that the sapphic girl with a crush on her bestie is a trope that has some basis in reality, and for some folks it can be really empowering to see those kinds of pairs get a Happily Ever After together. I also think it can be empowering for the female character with the sapphic crush to come to the realization (either through rejection or other circumstances) that her bestie isn’t going to like her back that way, but she does understand herself better now. And she’s going to use that knowledge to build herself up and explore new values and seek out new wlw relationships and join the queer revolution. Hahaha you can tell what sort of storyline I prefer. Truth be told I would be more interested in a story where Fredrika doesn’t requite Stella’s feelings and Stella has to reinvent herself than I would a story where suddenly they love each other. I’m sure the YR writing team would make the latter interesting too, but if they gave me a choice between the latter and the former and promised they would be equally well written, I’d pick the latter.

Here’s the other thing about stedrika. I don’t entirely find them boring. I do like them! This is going to sound like me being a problematic queer, maybe, but… I like the fact that they’re mean. Not in a “you go girl!” sort of way where I’m cheering on their meanness and tendency to gossip. I don’t want them to stay mean. But I do find it interesting that Stella at least is hiding some part of her authentic self, and she and Fredrika haven’t gotten to discuss something honestly, and the price they pay is lashing out at others for their authenticity, especially their authenticity around romantic feelings. I think there’s some interesting narrative questions to explore then, in terms of how do you learn to embrace others and yourself? What toll does it take, being closeted? How do you empower yourself within structures that are harming you—is hurting other people going to do it? Like gosh, that’s a whole character arc! I also think it’s really interesting how Lisa and the writing team have addressed the role that misogyny and assumptions around sex and physicality play in oppressing wlw queer folks. Like that whole discussion around what counts as “real sex” and losing one’s virginity that we see at Sara’s birthday sleepover. That was interesting to see play out onscreen and I’m glad they went there! (Send me your fics about messy stedrika, send themmmm. Send these girls on some kind of journey.)

Anyway, I’m also glad that stedrika is not the only wlw representation we have in Young Royals. Because we also have Rosh, who I absolutely adore with every fiber of my being. Rosh isn’t white or upper class, and she’s more tomboyish and comparatively less femme. She talks about her rebound after dating Yasmin/Yasmina, and there’s this wonderful sapphic chaos quality to it. She’s an openly queer girl in a best friendship with an openly queer boy, and you can tell that she and Simon lean on one another and probably came out to one another in middle school. (I think I have read this fic a few times, but I will always read more of it!) I love Rosh’s sense of justice and how committed she is to athletics and making sure Simon succeeds on the rowing team even if, as we all know, rowing isn’t a sport. Overall Rosh feels very specific and that makes her very real. Also I can’t resist a confident soccer lesbian, obviously I imprinted on Keira Knightly and Parminder Nagra in Bend It Like Beckham like every other queer girl born in the late 1980s.

Anyway. I actually think YR has a ton to offer us in terms of potential wlw representation, and interesting stories and characters that can be explored. (It has a lot to offer us in terms of female characters, period. I wish I had the time and fandom knowhow to create a female character centered ficathon. Is there any interest out there?)

The weird thing is I don’t know if I would feel confident writing this post at all if I hadn’t put in over 100k words of effort in fanfic for this fandom, most of it from female characters’ POVs. Some of that is het, sure, but I’m really, really proud of the sapphic self-discovery arc we gave Felice in Heart and Homeland. We let her struggle with her feelings at a time when she didn’t have the vocabulary for her feelings. We let Felice have a 19th century romantic friendship with Sara while also having sex and romances with other women, because lesbians can do both dammit. We let her kiss other women on the page, and do additional things beyond kissing also on the page. She was the first character we upped our rating to M for! We let her have friends-with-benefits hookups (because wlw characters shouldn’t always have to meet their forevergirl in their first girl) and we’re developing a new relationship in the upcoming chapters. (Okay, we did accidentally erase stedrika, because we wrote the first 19 chapters of our fic before season 2, and made occasional blink-and-you-miss-it references to a Stella/Henry sideplot. But let’s just say additional things are happening in the coming chapters.) I’m really happy with Felice’s storyline. I’m also happy that for a long time, I was the kid in fandom sighing and wishing there was more femslash, while feeling bad bad because I hadn’t written any myself. But now I have, and it feels a bit like achieving a Life Goal. I’m proud of myself!

And if you want to write femslash of your own, but you’ve always been a little scared or unsure of how to start? Hi. I’ll be your sounding board and your biggest cheerleader, if you want that. Tell me and we’ll have a lot of fun planning and writing! I BELIEVE IN YOU AND YOU ARE AMAZING.

somewhere above the rainbow

characther : kaveh x reader genre : fluff/angst

summary : you moved to sumeru to continue your study at the academia and met someone unexpectedly, never did you thought that person would change your life so much.

"the names kaveh, what's yours may i ask?" a smile was plastered on kaveh's lips.

it was the first day you went into the academia, the environment feels so different here than it was in mondstatd. the hallway is packed with students and you were there, walking by yourself, not knowing where to go.

thankfully a guy bump into you while you were not looking, "ouch, sorry" you apologized and look to the classes to search for your class "it's fine, i should be the one apologizing anyway.. you looking for someone?" he asked

you averts your gaze towards him "no,, i'm looking for my class"

"well what class are you looking for?" you tell him the specified class

"i might say it's your lucky day girlie, that's my class , let's go, i'll show you the way" the guy starts guiding you towards your class

"come on you can seat next to me" he pats the empty spot next to him before taking a seat in his spot.

"soo, what's your name?" you asked awkwardly "glad you ask, the names kaveh, what's your may i ask?" a smile was plastered on kaveh's lips "it's y/n, nice to meet you kaveh" "you too y/n"

weeks and months had pass and each day your friendship with kaveh grows stronger and tighter.

"hey y/n, mind if i stay at your place for a while?" kaveh asked while he pack his bag

"sure, why though?" "well, my mother is inviting her friends over and i really don't want to be there you know? with all of the middle aged woman who keeps on commenting about my life?" he complains

"i- yeah, i totally get you, and sure let's go"

the walk home was short, for you live near the academia. "good afternoon y/n, glad you're back, and i see that you bring your friend here too, let me help you with your bags" your maid, Alia took both yours's and kaveh's bag.

"want anything ve? i'm going to have a snack" "uh.. yeah sure"

"just make yourself feel at home" you tell him and kaveh just gave you a nod

after you got your snacks, the both of you went back to the living room to do your assignments.

a couple of hours had pass and you're starting to get bored "hey, mind if i bake some cookies?" you asked

kaveh looked dumbfound "..huh?" "i've finished my work and i'm getting quite bored"

"oh yea sure, go ahead" kaveh said

not long after you went to the kitchen kaveh finishes his work and went after you. hearing a footsteps behind you, you turn around to see kaveh.

"soo what're you makin?" he asked while peeking his head to the mixing bowl

"chocolate chip cookie" you answered his eyes shines like a little kid "cool! can i help?" "why not"

he then began to pour the ingredients in, of course all under your watch.

midway mixing, a brilliant idea makes its way into kaveh's head, "ooh, what if we add harra fruit in?"

"no, it'll taste weird" kaveh went up to you with his diced up harra fruit.

hearing that, he stood silently in his place, hands still holding the fruit and eyes locking with you, just as you were about to turn back to your batter you see kaveh dashing up to the bowl, wanting to throw the fruit

"NO!" thankfully you managed to hold his wrist right before he threw the harra fruit

"but i love themmmm" he whines "and i don't, now if you don't mind why don't you put- NOOO" seeing you ramble, kaveh took that as an opportunity and threw the fruit into the bowl!

"hehehehe" kaveh gave you a devilish laugh

*ding* after thirty minutes the cookies are finally ready. "finally" kaveh mutter and went up to the oven.

"kaveh wait you haven't-!" "OUCH WHAT THE FUCK YOU PIECE-" wow. this is the first time you've hear words that beautiful.

seeing kaveh jumping and flapping his hands around the air to soothe the burn away, could only make you laugh.

"not funny!" he complaints "so-sorry" you apologies in the middle of your laughing

you regain your composure and grab the oven glove kaveh forgot "you haven't wear these glove, kaveh" you show him your gloved hands and took the tray of cookies out.

the smell a bit weird becuase kaveh insist of adding the fruit so you ends up placing a diced of harra furit on top of three of the cookies. "mmm it smells so nice"

"what is this smell? did you burn something y/n?" your mother came into the kitchen with a scrunched up face

oh how funny it is to see kaveh's face turn red from embarrassment, your mother looks at kaveh with a surprised look

"oh i didn't know you're inviting your friend over y/n, hello, what's your name?"

"it's kaveh mrs hehe" kaveh let's out an awkward chuckle

"um we're baking cookies mother, and i did a little experment with a few of them, thought they'd turn out nice but,, yeah didn't become what i've hoped for" you explained sheepishly while showing her the cookies.

she looks at it unconvinced and a bit grossed out ouch before shrugging and leave.

two years had passed and both of your's and kaveh's friendship is undoubtly strong. yet now you're at the end of your journey, and what a crazy one it was. it felt like you were just here yesterday but here you are now, graduating.

a black robe and a black hat was worn by everyone, sitting impatiently to hear their names being called. and there it was, your name. you stood up and walk towards your teacher,

this is it, you've finally finish. all of your hard work they pays off. "congratulation y/n may the dendro archon bless your journey"

walking off the stage, you also hears kaveh's name being called, he stood up and walk proudly to the stage, oh how happy does he looked when it was his turn.

i mean of course, graduation is something special! it's the one day you could celebrate your success in school.

but in the amidst of these happiness you could feel a bit of sadness inside you.

your parents had decide that you'll be going back to mondstadt. "wow that's so cool! you could live in peace there, mondstadt is the city of freedom right!" that's what they all said.

and they're right, mondstadt is a beautiful place. but a part of you still wanna stay here. in sumeru, with kaveh.

kaveh run up to you with a bright smile, "we finally did it y/n! we finally graduate!"

"yeah" you gave him a small smile

"aren't you excited?! you're going back to mondstadt right? i heard it's a nice place"

"yup" you could see the happiness in his eyes, those eyes that sparkles like kids. how you're going to miss seeing them

without you realizing, a tear drops from your eye.

"hey why are you crying?" kaveh looks at you worriedly

you wipe them and chuckle "nothing, i'm just sad that i can't see your stupid grin again"

"..ouch, and besides, we could always meet up, i really want to visit mondstadt too"

"yeah, i guess you're right.. and.." kaveh looks at you, waiting for you to continue "nevermind"

today is the day you leave to mondstant, "i'll miss you y/n" al haitham said with his usual tone

"you too, al haitham" you smile at him

"oh, and could you give this to.. kaveh? please don't open it" you show him a letter, wrapped so delicately

"sure" you thank him and leaves, seeing that kaveh couldn't bid you his final goodbye he sent haitham to look for you the last time.

"here, y/n wanted to give you this" al haitham shoves the letter to kaveh's face.

he took it and glare at his roomate "you didn't read it before me right?" and al haitham just hum as he leave

kaveh admire the delicately wrapped letter that's a bit wrinkled from al haitham's shoving just now. slowly he opens them and read the letter.

to my dearest friend, kaveh

hi kaveh! how're you doing? i hope you're doing alright. one thing i know is that you probably read this when i'm way in mondstadt. there's actually one thing i need to say,

the truth is i've fallen for you, kaveh. your dazzling face always seem to haunt me everyday. year after year we spent together as friend only make me fall harder.

at first, i refuse to believe i actually like you, i'm scared of the heartbreak that may come my way if you tell me you only see me as your friend.

but in the end, i gave up. i stop pretending i don't have feelings for you. Kaveh, i love you from the deepest part of my heart.

everyday for two years we've spent together, all of the ups and down we experience as students, i love all of it.

i've notice all of the small details about you, stuff that may be an ick to other people, but to me, they're adorable. those small habits you have is what makes you, you.

Kaveh i don't know if this feeling of mine is mutual, but even if it's not i wouldn't say i regret loving you. ever. loving you was never a mistake.

for now we are no longer together. i wanted you to know that i'll always love you with every breath i take.

kaveh, i wish you all of the best to come your way,

may we meet again in the brighter future!

[arsenicflame]

✨, 🎥, 💕, and 🏳️‍🌈 for OFMD and Madoka?

ahhh Iz! so many, thank you so muchhhhh

✨ what draws you towards your hyperfixation? what is interesting about it?

for OFMD: i love the characters!!!!!! all of themmmm. their dynamics are probably the most interesting thing for me. i also love the setting & playing around with more serious sailing stuff, and also into the areas that make this group special. i think fundamentally, the show is such a good sandbox to play around with, what could happen, why, etc etc. i love adding little pockets of lore (i think this is why im so drawn to Sam Bellamy stuff, its adding more to the universe & to izzy and layers of depth that werent there before, even if hes completely part of the past). especially after s1 and kraken era speculation, it was all the what ifs and maybes that drew me in.

for PMMM: this is a hard one! i first watched madoka back when it came out in 2011 so its really hard for me to imagine a life where its not important to me. i think the thing for me about madoka magica, is that its about hope. it so often gets sold as a dark magical girl anime, but at its core, madoka is about looking despair in the face, and choosing hope anyway. its about finding a way through even when it seems impossible. ive always been drawn to that. and the interpersonal dynamics- im big into the different story manga, which adds so much depth to kyoko & mamis characters & their relationships.

🎥 do you have any favorite scenes from your hyperfixation?

for OFMD: ive already mentioned one, so again, that, but a second one: the new unicorn scene. its both the complete opposite to the other, and its twin, and it means so much to me. its really first time we see izzy released from his duties, as first mate, to ed, this is just izzy. and its the first time we properly see him accepted by the crew. i dont really know how to put into words what this scene means to me, but i think you understand anyway. i cried. thats my fucking boy!!!!!!!!!!

for PMMM: i think most of my favourite scenes are from the manga (again, TDS fan) but out of the anime, i think its probably the fight against Elsa Maria- its stylised in a gorgeous way, the animation and movement is artistic and gorgeous. and, its the first moment where you really start to feel dread. the first moment you realise that something awful is coming. its beautiful artistically and narratively

💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!

for OFMD: skipping right over the obvious, because ive dedicated my life to the fuckin guy, archie!!!!!!! my sweet love!!!! urgh shes ao delightful, one of the best things to come out of season 2 forreal. i dont think theres a single scene with archie i dont like, i love her stupid little quips and her pragmatism about everything. thats just the way things go, we fight to the death. pointing out that the guys on top do get away with it. idk, theres just not a single thing i dont love. its also so nice to introduce someone not of the revenge mindset, but also not as messed up over things as fang & izzy. she just fills her role perfectly. so fun to see a "normal" pirate. i love her i would do anything for her

for PMMM: i am, in my heart of hearts, a kyoko girly. my first love, the original. i think loving kyoko set me on the path to love izzy too. shes the underdog, she comes in as the villain of the story, till you start to dig into her character and understand why she feels the way she does about things. even if you disagree, its a different perspective on her. shes teeth and claws and knows nothing but fighting to survive. i love her backstory and her attitude to the truth of their life, and i love her stupid little quips. yes girl it is reasonable to break a guys legs to get him to date

🏳‍🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you?

for OFMD: as i said earlier, im pretty flexible on most headcanons, usually working whichever fits in to the particular idea im thinking about, but trans izzy is pretty consistently up there. its one of those things that i think adds a lot of flavour to his actions in canon, and also adds backstory to him and why he might be who we meet in canon in the first place. also making characters trans fucks and should always be done 👍

for PMMM: everyone is gay. including hitomi. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

media hyperfixation ask game!

[f1version]

Ohhh war of hearts and mick headcannons are my requestsss, i am wondering themmmm

I LOVE THESE ONES!!!

wip game

about war of hearts, cl16: soo this one is almost done, i had to put it in hold on for like a month because of all the stuff i had to do irl but i finally got to sit down and write for it, i love it. basically, as you know, it’s a charles x engineer!reader, where they both like the other but hold back because of what could happen in each other’s personal lives if people found out. it’s full of anxiety, secrecy, shyness, and love love love.

snippet:

You hear him call your name, tone soft and timid, “Are you okay?” In fear, your eyes urge the team, they were distracted, Charles out of their conversation. You sigh.

“Yeah, just tired,” attempting sincerity, you force a smile to your face. “I think I’m calling it a day.”

“You,” he stops, emerald eyes dancing around. “Do you want me to go with you?”

He was nervous. Why does he always look nervous?

“You don’t have to, it’s your night, keep celebrating,” you answer, because he should, and anyway, you’re at your hotel’s bar, getting to your room is as simple as taking the elevator. “Also, the team can take it out of context.”

Saying that is the alcohol’s fault, you conclude. The team wouldn’t take it out of context, it isn’t out of character for Charles to take care of the team. You are supposed to be close, you are friends. He’s your driver and you his engineer, that’s why you need to leave now, without him.

“Uh-right,” he says, a mixture of shock and disbelief on his now distant eyes. “Have a good night then.”

“G’night, Charles.”

about kissing in secret, msc47: this one just needs polishing! basically narrates the ups and downs of the secret relationship between mick and driver!reader. a mix of love, anxiety, laughs, memories, risks, and just all that involves a relationship between a mercedes reserve driver and red bull driver (had to add that one for the dramatic effect ofc)

snippet:

The European arm made it easier. Hotel rooms became unnecessary as Motorhomes were used, it was as simple as asking Max to sneak Mick in. You spent nights laughing, kissing, crying, and everything in between. Sometimes you put on his Mercedes cap and Mick grabbed yours, imitating Toto and Christian, George and Max. You had breakfast in bed when time wasn’t tight, made love when flying out hours after the race wasn’t needed, and challenged your luck by kissing on the doorstep. It was the best thing in the world, all worries forgotten with a kiss.

[brick-a-doodle-do]

Okay don't be spooked by how long this is—I gave you those things with Irza and Vara caring for each other

Me being depressed is actually an excellent writing mood for me

I write very well endlessly during that bc I wanna escape the world

Irza caring for Vara...

The cat boy is often called out to work all night as a hero. It's extra work usually because they're shorthanded or need someone to fill in and because he's not ranked high, he's one of the first ones they call in. A lot of times he'll come home dead tired and collapse on the floor in the hallway before ever reaching his home. Irza will always pick him up and put him in bed, but not without some struggling from how clingy the cat gets when tired. Irza learned the hard way that if Vara is left on the floor to sleep he gets very sick...and if Vara gets sick, Irza can't eat the cat's absolutely excellent cooking. He's the best at it and Irza's bad enough he can light a toaster in fire.

Vara caring for Irza...

He'll come home injured sometimes. He has healing magic, but on himself it mainly only speeds up his body's own recovery unless he forces it to do something else. So he comes home hurt from his fights and Vara will a lot of times force Irza to "strip" so he can treat the wounds. The dragon at first hated this, but he eventually started to secretly enjoy the cat fussing over him. The biggest help with that change of feeling was even after seeing all the dragon scales and spikes on Irza's body, the cat's opinion didn't change at all.

Also

I will certainly make you that drabble: borrower helping a human. More likely as a drabble than a drawing

ohh nice! length always spooks me (i see it, i'm not gonna fix it 😭)

it is! you've got all the emotions spreading through you :)

ohhh do heroes get paid? i vaguely remember talking about it but maybe not. if they do, how much? 👀

AWHHH I FORGOT THEY WERE ROOMATES AND THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER DYNAMIC BETWEEN THEMMMM HGJSDFN

that is genuinely adorable, love that >:)

LMAO chef vara confirmed

hhh does vara ever ask where they're from? how does irza reply? a wacky ass story or the classic "i fell"? sdjgfsd

mhhhhhgfhds i lovee heroes helping villains. i guess that's the dynamic of borrowers helping humans. human is seen as a villain to borrowers 80% of the time. wow that's a cool realization

YESS make that drabble i'd love to see it! >:D
