By Your Side

Characters: Dean Winchester x Reader (together), Sam Winchester, John Winchester, Tessa-Reaper

Warnings: mention of death, coma, out of body experience, angst, fluff, language

A/N: I was tagged by @jackles010378 to write a short story about Season 2 Episode 1. The reader is Dean’s girlfriend and while Dean is “dead” he sees her not leaving his side and when he wakes he finally says the words she’s longed to hear him say.

This is my own work, please do not take it or copy it without my permission. It’s based on characters and an episode from Supernatural, but doesn’t follow the timeline completely. I wrote it fast and edited it fast. Please overlook any errors. 

Minors DNI 18+

You had stayed back at the hotel while Dean, John, and Sam were on a hunt. You weren’t feeling well, the flu, you think. So you stayed while they left. You’d been hunting with John and Dean for a few years now, and Dean’s girlfriend for just as long. 

John was against your relationship at first. He said Dean didn’t need the distraction and you didn’t need the heartbreak. However, you and Dean stood your ground and became a couple. You fought side by side, protecting each other and falling deeper in love.

As the hours ticked on, you started to get worried. Neither of them were answering their phones and they weren’t back yet. Where the hell are they?! They should have been back by now. Just then your phone rang startling you out of your thoughts.

“Hello?” “Hello, is this Miss Y/L/N?” “It is, who’s this?” “Miss. Y/L/N, this is April from Mercy Hospital. You are listed as an emergency contact for Dean Smith. He was involved in an accident and is in the hospital.” “Oh my god! Is he okay? What about his Dad and brother?!?” “They are fine, his brother is about to be discharged, if you’re able to, you really should come to the hospital.” “Please, tell me, is he alive?” “Ma’am, I think it’s best if you come up here.” “Just fucking tell me! Is he alive or not!!! It’s not that damn difficult!” You screamed into the phone. “He’s alive, but barely.” “I’m on my way.”

You grabbed your stuff as tears fell. On the way to the hospital you prayed to whoever or whatever would listen. “Don’t you fucking die on me, Dean Winchester! Don’t you do it. I can’t live without you.” You were sobbing and had to pull over briefly because you felt like you were going to get sick. Once you were sure you were done you headed towards the hospital again. 

You parked and ran towards the entrance. “Dean Smith, what room is he in?” You yelled at the woman at the desk. She told you what room and you bolted down the hallway. When you got in the room you weren’t prepared for what you saw. There he was, laying so still. He was bruised and banged up, with a tube down his throat. You pulled a chair to his side and grabbed his hand. 

“Dean, I’m here baby. You’re going to be okay. You can’t leave me, not now. Please baby, open your eyes.” You softly kissed his hand and laid your head down on his bed. Silent tears fell. Your phone rang and you saw it was Sam. “Hey Sam.” “Hey, Y/N, are you okay?” “No, Sam. I’m at the hospital in Dean’s room.” “I’m on my way to you.” 

Sam walked in and hugged you. “I’m so sorry, Y/N. I was going to call you as soon as I could. They must have beat me to it.” “It’s okay, Sam. I’m glad you and your dad are okay.” 

You turned your attention back to Dean. Slowly rubbing his hand. “I can’t lose him, Sam. I can’t, we can’t.” Sam placed his hand on your back, “I know.” Just then John appeared at the door and tipped his head to you. “How are you feeling John?” “Sore, but I’m okay. Thanks for coming.” “This is my place, right by his side. I know you don’t approve of our relationship, but I love him, John. My place is right here by his side.” 

John sighed and sat on the opposite side. The only sound in the room was the beeping of the heart monitor. You placed your head down on the bed again, silently praying and begging for Dean to wake up, when you heard an alarm go off. You looked up and saw Dean’s heart rate was flat. The nurses and doctor ran in with a crash cart and told everyone to step back. You stood and took a step back, mouth on the ground. Everything was a blur and the sounds muffled. Your focus was on Dean, everyone else faded away.

The doctor grabbed the paddles and yelled “clear” as he shocked Dean’s chest. Dean’s body jumped and you gasped. Sam grabbed you and tried to pull you out of the room. You pushed him off, “No! We have to stay here with him. We aren’t leaving!” 

Unbeknownst to you, Sam and John, but Dean was there. He was standing beside his bed looking at you and hearing every plea and seeing every tear. He walked over to you, brushed your cheek with his hand, “I’m here baby.” Dean looked up and saw a woman who looked right at him. He followed her out and finally caught up to her. “Who are you, and why can you see me?” “My name is Tessa, and I’m just like you. In the inbetween.” Dean followed her around the hospital and asked her how he could get back to you. She always answered in vague ways and it started to frustrate Dean. So he went back to his room.

The doctors and nurses were gone, his heart was beating again and there you were. Sitting next to him, holding his hand. “I love you Dean, we love you. Please don’t leave us.” You cried and held his hand tight. He wished he could feel you holding his hand and wipe your tears away. 

Sam walked in the room and saw you still sitting next to Dean. “Hey, Y/N, why don’t you stretch, grab some food and just take a break. I promise I’ll call you if anything changes.” Dean stood to the side watching his baby brother trying to convince you to leave his side. He grinned, “Good luck, Sammy. She’s a stubborn one.” “Sam, I love you, but right now I need you to leave me alone. We’re NOT leaving his side. I love him and my place is right here.” “Y/N, we aren’t leaving him, but we need to be strong for him. That means eating something and taking care of yourself too. 

Sam didn’t notice it, but Dean swears he saw you lightly brush your hand to your belly. Dean’s eyes went wide. “We love you, we’re not leaving him, we can’t lose him.” Oh my god, you’d been sick for a few weeks, Dean thought to himself. He bolted from the room. “Tessa! Where are you?! I need to know how to get back in my body! I can’t leave her, not now. I need to tell her how I feel about her.” Tessa appeared next to Dean. “Dean, I don’t know if it’s possible. It’s your time to go.” “What? How do you know that?” Dean’s face searched for answers in Tessa’s. “Dean, I’m not a ghost, I’m a reaper. I’ve come to take you away.” “The fuck you are! I’m not leaving her.” “Dean, it doesn’t work that way. When it’s your time, you have to go.” 

Dean went back to you and placed his hand on your shoulder. He leaned down and kissed your cheek. “I know baby, I’m trying to get back to you.” John came back into the room to check on Dean. He saw you still sitting beside Dean. “Y/N, you have to eat something. You have to stay healthy and keep up your strength. If not for you, think about the baby, please.” “Why do you care? You didn’t even want Dean and I together. Why do you care about the baby?” “It’s still my grandchild and I see how much you love my son. Don’t worry. I’m going to fix this. Just promise me to love him even on the tough days.” “John, you know I will.” He placed a soft kiss on your head and walked out of the room. 

Dean stood dumbfounded. His father knew you were pregnant and didn’t say anything. Dean tried for what seemed like hours to jump back into his body and nothing worked. He left the room and went to find John. He was confused to see John in the basement of the hospital. “Dad! Don’t do it!.” Dean saw his dad standing in front of the yellow eyed demon making a deal. Before Dean could see anything else, he was zapped back into his body. 

When you realized he was awake you called for the nurse. They removed the tube and he sat up. You threw your arms around him. “Oh my god, Dean. We almost lost you. I love you so much. Please don’t do that again.” Dean wrapped his arms around you and held you. “Thank you sweetheart, thank you for never leaving my side. I love you.” You pulled back with tears in your eyes. Dean had never said those 3 words to you. “What? How did you know I didn’t leave your side, and Dean you love me?” 

“I saw you sweetheart, I saw it all. I’ve been so stupid. I have loved you from the moment I met you. I knew you were it for me. I love you, all of you and anyone else that comes along.” Dean placed his hand on your belly. “Dean, how did you know? I was going to tell you after this hunt. I had taken a test when I started to get sicker and your dad walked in the bathroom as I found out. We both agreed to tell you after the hunt. He wanted your head to be clear, and I wanted to make sure you all were safe. I knew if I told you I was pregnant, you wouldn’t have gone on the hunt.” “Oh sweetheart, I love you so much.” He kissed your lips gently. 

John walked in the room and saw Dean was awake. He leaned down to hug Dean and whispered something in his ear. Dean’s eyes went wide and he looked over at you. As John stood up he walked over to you, “Take care of him and that baby. For the record, I think you’re perfect for him. Take care of each other.” John hugged you and gave you a kiss on your forehead. Something felt off. 

John left the room and went back to his. Sam came back in and went to check on John. When he walked in the room he found John dead. Sam screamed for help but it was too late. 

When you and Dean were told, he realized John had made a deal with the demon to switch places. Dean remembered what Tessa told him, that it was his time to go. Then he woke up. You held Dean as he sobbed at the loss of his father. Your heart broke for him. 

“I’m so sorry, Dean. He loved you and Sam so much.” Dean looked up at you, “He made a deal, Y/N. He took my place.” “What?! How do you know?” Dean told you about his experiences while he was in a coma, and what Tessa had told him. You cupped his face, “Oh Dean, he sacrificed himself for you, for our baby.” 

You and John never really saw eye to eye, but you would forever be in his debt. He saved the love of your life so your child could grow up with their father. You started to cry when the magnitude of his sacrifice hit you. 

“Sweetheart, I love you and our baby. I will always be thankful my dad put us and our baby before him. I can’t wait to live the rest of my life proving I’m a man worthy of that sacrifice.” “Dean, you’re already that man. You’re the love of my life, the father of my unborn child, an amazing brother and son. You protect with every fiber of your being, even people you don’t know. You, Dean Winchester, are the most worthy man on Earth.”

Dean took you in his arms, “I’ve been a fool. I should have told you what you meant to me before. I shouldn’t have let myself almost die to tell you what you mean to me. I love you, Y/N. Yesterday, today, forever. Seeing you by my side, refusing to leave showed me how much you mean to me. You’re my best friend, my confidant, my lover, the mother of my child, you’re my biggest cheerleader, and I love you!” 

Dean placed his hand on your belly, “I love you too, little one. I will be there to protect you and teach you how to be strong and love and fight for the things and people you love.” You placed your hand on his and smiled. He placed a soft kiss on your lips, “I love you, Y/N, so much.”

Japanese QL Corner

One more week of relative quiet before several new shows charge in next week to make JQL Corner hopping again. These first two shows are available via fan sub, with the second airing weekly on Gaga.

Smells Like Green Spirit

This week we immediately moved on from Mishima being assaulted to Mishima somewhat uncomfortably going along with Yumeno's advances, and being made to feel disgusting and rejected for his trouble. I find it desperately sad that Mishima has to settle for trying his best to love all these people who have harmed him; this episode reminded us that despite their current bestie status, Kirino was the ringleader who bullied Mishima from the start, and Yumeno, the only viable love interest in this show, is deeply homophobic and drawn to Mishima against his will. His visceral reaction when confronted with the realities of Mishima's body was painful. I'm glad that at least Kirino is there now to comfort his friend; the genuine friendship they've managed to build is far and away the best part of this show.

Love is Like a Poison

They're back, baby! And with a literal bang. I missed this show and its effortless comedy, which ramped up again this week as Ryo and Haruto settled into their romantic relationship with a jdrama classic trip to the onsen. I laughed out loud at nearly every scene in this episode right up until Ryo finally worked up the courage to kiss his man and initiate sex, and then remembered he still doesn't know what scam Haruto is running on him. I'm glad they're together now, couple rings and all, and hoping we'll see Haruto come clean and give them a chance to tackle whatever it is he's after together.

Chaser Game W 2

This week Itsuki and Fuyu lived out their domestic fantasies briefly until the outside world intruded in the form of homophobic parents at Tsuki's school, the evil red boss from season 1, and the return of Fuyu's mother to be awful some more. I guess we needed a villain trifecta for the finale? More importantly, Yoreum appeared via television interview to assure us she is out and thriving.

Rent: Han Jisung x fem/gn reader drabble

Synopsis: Jeongin and Chaeryeong make a bet with you that Jisung will respond poorly towards a prank they found on TikTok, while you think it's a dumb idea, you have faith that your boyfriend will come through, also they are missing one important factor...

Pairing: Han Jisung x fem/gn reader

Genre: fluff, slightly suggestive, established relationship

WC: <1k

Warning: some coarse language, mentioned/suggested sex

AN: The trend on TikTok has been getting to me and I've been obsessing over everyone's renditions and versions of it, so I wanted to try my hand at it. Lowkey hate it, but oh well! Jisung is always cute to write about. Also could be read as fem or gn reader, didn't realize until after that it wasn't really specified!

Masterlist

I shot the last text out to Jeongin and Chaeryeong, pulling up the camera app on my phone. This was so stupid. 

“Can’t believe I let them talk me into this shit,” I muttered underneath my breath and quickly set up my phone on the bookshelf in our room, nestled just behind the decorative statue. I moved back towards the bed, climbing on and crawling towards my side just as Jisung entered from the bathroom.

His black shirt lay loose on his frame, as did his gray sweats. He just looked good. I bit my lip, watching as he neared me, his attention still on his phone. My boyfriend of 2 years had a way of always looking casually attractive, something I happily spent my time reminding him of. Jisung had officially asked me to move in around 6 months ago and it was the best decision I had ever made.

“Jisung?”

He hummed as he finally looked up at me, taking in the serious look I had on my face. His eyebrows furrowed, leaving a confused expression on his face as he finally sat on the bed, one leg remaining on the floor as he turned his body to face me. His hand stretched out towards me, and I gingerly placed mine in his, sniffing slightly, my eyes watery. 

“Baby, what’s wrong? You were good in the bathroom, I thought we- did I,” Jisung’s eyes shot wide as a deep blush bloomed on his cheeks, the blush reaching up to the tips of his ears. “Did I do something wrong when we were in the shower?” His other hand rubbed at his knee, awaiting my answer.

I shook my head, trying not to laugh, bringing a hand to caress his cheek. I sat on my knees and shuffled closer to him, kissing his other cheek. I hated pranking him, he was just too cute.

“No, Sungie, you were perfect,” he blushed even more. “It’s just there’s something I have to tell you.”

He tilted his head to the side, his brown bangs falling in front of his eyes. Fuck, I’m totally gonna suck him off tonight. 

Hold on, let’s at least get his response first!

“Well it’s just with everything that’s been going on and the holiday season, I just-“ I look away from him towards the bookshelf, doing my best to play up the hopelessness. “I just won’t have enough to pay my part of the rent this month.” Looking back towards him.

We both blinked at each other as my words sank into the space between us. I couldn't help, but feel like maybe Innie and Chae were right when Jisung continued to stare blankly at me.

“I said, I can’t pay my part of the rent this month.”

Jisung opened his mouth, his eyebrows furrowing as he tried to understand my words. I pouted at him and looked down, suppressing the smile threatening to burst. Fuck! He looked so adorable, and his hair looked so fluffy post shower, ugh this guy. He tilted his head to the other side, his eyes glancing down, the gears in his brain working in overdrive.

“I didn’t realize how much I spent on gifts and everything else, I’m so sorry Ji, I really thought I’d have enough for rent-“

“What rent?” He met my gaze again, maneuvering my legs out from under my butt to lie across his lap as he dragged me closer to him.

“The rent for the apartment? I just don’t have enough this month, so you’ll have to-“

“Baby, our apartment was bought before I asked you to move in. What rent?” 

Jisung's hand began to move up and down my leg, going down to my feet to massage them, still looking as confused as ever. My hands rubbed up the arm closest to me as I blinked up at him, trying to look as confused as he did. I squeezed his bicep sending a 'thank you' up to the universe towards Chan and Changbin for having gotten him to go towards the gym more. Jisung had been bragging about the new muscle he had formed and went out of his way to show them off. I felt him involuntarily flex under my hand.

“Then what have I been paying-“

“Paying?! What are you talking about? _______, my love, I’m sorry, but what the fuck are you-“ His face whipped to the left as his eyes moved rapidly across our room in search of something. I tried to bring his attention back to me, hands moving to grasp his face, but he was quicker than me. The mask dropped from my face completely now, the smile wide, eyes crinkling in laughter. Before I could grab him, he sprung up from the bed, moving quickly to the bookshelf. 

“Jisung, wait!” I giggled, falling back into the bed knowing the prank was ruined. I watched as he grabbed my phone, quickly ending the recording. His face trying to appear mad, but the smile in his eyes gave him away, his mouth dropping open. The corners of his lips twitched upwards.

“Yah! You’re not slick!”

“I can’t help it, you’re just too cute! Besides, I still won us a free lunch from Innie and Chae tomorrow.”

He scoffed as he plugged my phone in on my side of the bed, laying it down on the nightstand. He climbed over me on the bed, my legs parting to make room for him. 

“More like I won us a free lunch.”

“Details,” I smirked and brought his face down to mine, lips pressing firmly against his. I pulled back slightly, my eyes darkening with desire as my tongue came out to lick my lips. We were so close that my tongue just barely grazed his bottom lip. He sucked in a breath, his hips jolting forward to press against mine. “And since you were such a good boy, I think you deserve a reward, huh?”

Jisung nodded his head vigorously, quickly moving to lay on his back, throwing his shirt off and shucking his sweats down his legs hurriedly. I laughed as his hands immediately moved to my shirt next, which was actually his, quickly finding its way on the floor along with my underwear. Even after having bent me over in the shower less than 30 minutes ago, he was just as eager to be with me again. Fuck this man. Yea, I was definitely gonna have to thank Jeongin and Chaeryeong for this idea. 

~~~~~~~~~

The following day, after having sent the video to them that night, my phone dinged as I was drying the last dish on the rack. I opened up our group chat to see Jeongin had responded and that Chae had sent the money already. I smirked knowing she probably sent it without having really listened. I quickly transferred the money to my account before returning back to our group chat.

Baby 🍞: U could've told us that he already owned the place 😑

🍒🍒: Wait wat?

[feddy-34]

rpf monday i totally forgor what other ships do you like!! on the niners and others :D and what do you hc differently in a/b/o fred x brock vs regular canon? sorry if that makes no sense lol

oh my gyatt okay some of these (most) are based on absolutely nothing lmao just keep that in mine but here are some of my favs

jj/koc for SURE they r freaky abt each other banging on the reg, like have you seen the way jj looks at kevin? or the way koc talks abt jj?

pq/zay baby, we only got one season of them together and like literally two interactions lmaoooooooo just look at them ok anyway

deebo and christian......... yeah....................

these are just some of the other ships i like, definitely not all of them LOL i dont think i would be able to fit all those into one post

as for your other ask one thing i think is different with regular fred/brock vs omegaverse is their view on kids. like in omegaverse theyre having 80039304930303033 children but irl i dont think they would have any (ignoring that fred literally just had a baby LOL) theyre just cat dads. i also think both of them would be much much more private irl yk cuz you dont have the scenting, claiming, mating dynamics that are present in omegaverse so i actually dont think they would PDA very much. at most hold hands walking into a game, they save the real stuff for at home

Hawk’s slightly intoxicated reflexes took a moment to spring into action upon seeing Tim. “Skippy,” he grinned, “what, did you miss me that much? I’ll still be here after New Year’s.”

Tim’s face screwed up in a look of righteous fury that Hawk knew meant an argument was coming. And before he could react, Tim was shoving Hawk backwards and into the apartment, slamming the door behind them. “You absolute ass!”

What about a little send off party blurb? Could be for Luke or the seniors or whoever, but all the boys celebrating together one last time

i've actually been wanting to write something about this so thank you for sending in !! 😙😙

request for the umich celly extravaganza !

All the hockey players were gathered in the sophomore house living room. The team and their girlfriends were having one last get together, as the season has officially ended.

Being Luke's girlfriend and the longest relationship on the team, this was hard for you. Luke was about to leave for Jersey and you were staying in Michigan for 2 more years to finish school.

Not only were you sad about Luke leaving, but the seniors too. You had grown close to every single guy on the team, they were all like brothers to you and you were so sad to see them go.

You grabbed a fork from the kitchen and returned to the living room, standing on a coffee table and banging the fork against your glass.

"Guys! I have a few words to say!" You yelled, getting everyone's attention.

"YEAHHHHH Y/N!" Dylan yelled in his drunken state. You smiled at your good friend, laughing.

You could feel your eyes begin to sting, but you were determined not to cry.

"I just want to say that getting to know you all over the past few years has best the best time of my life. I never knew coming into college that I would be friends with so many amazing people, but I couldn't ask for a better group of friends." You said, as you felt the tears welling up.

"Well I'm not going to let myself cry so I love you all, thank you for being amazing." You quickly finished, hopping off the table as everyone cheered.

Keaton Pehrson's girlfriend came over to give you a hug.

"I'm going to miss you so much." She said as she tightly embraced you.

"Me too, babe. You'll have to come back and visit."

"You know I will." She said, breaking apart from the hug and nudging your side.

Then, your boyfriend was coming over to you.

"Cute speech, baby." He said, pulling you into his chest.

"Thanks, thought of it on the spot." You joked.

Luke pulled away from you, cupping your face in his hands.

"You know you're going to be okay, right? You're going to keep having the time of your life in college and I'm going to live out my dream in Jersey. And in two years we will be together again, forever." He said.

Sidemascots' 5-a-side football! (Sidemascots 1.15)

Yodli: Team Vinicius vs. Team Sumi! It promises to be an epic match!

Sacha (@sashley1912): And it’s LIVE! Ohohohohohohoho! I always want to say that!

Sumi: What?! We’re rivals?! No Americas vs. Rest of the World?!

Vinicius: Grow up Sumi!

(Everyone laughed)

Sumi: BULLSH*T!

Vinicius: Oh, too far! We’re in tumblr!

THE SIDEMASCOTS!

Vinicius: Season 1! The penultimate episode!

Sumi: WHAT?!

Vinicius: Sorry, we’ve ran out of ideas!

Sumi: Someone get me a proper creative director for Season 2 or I’m OUT!

OC IV: What?

Vinicius: Action!

THE DRAFT

Yodli: Who will go first?

Vinicius: As written in my contractual small print, I will go first.

Sumi: pfffft…

Sacha: Vinicius goes first, I wonder what’s his first pick…

Yodli: Let me guess…

Vinicius: Miraitowa!

Miraitowa: Surprise, surprise… I won’t be impressed too if I win this match.

Sumi: Wenlock!

Wenlock: COME ON YOU HAMMERS! Rest in peace, @crackheadfromsainsburys, you will be missed.

Sacha: Mention Crackhead again or I’ll BREAK YOUR NECK!

Yodli: Calm down Sacha…

Sacha: F**k no! They killed my babies!

Yodli: Who?

Sacha: Phryges!

Yodli: Oh, haha.

Vinicius: Borobi! What’s that kit?

Borobi: Auckland FC mate! I’m still waiting for the return of Gold Coast United!

Vinicius: But you used to support Brisbane Roar!

Borobi: Brisbane Roar?! *spits* I’m loyal to the Gold Coast mate!

Sumi: Fuleco! He looks like a believable rival to Vinicius.

Vinicius: Pffft… Honohon!

Honohon and Miraitowa: Best friends forever!

Uzumin: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sumi: Tina!

Tina: FORZA INTER! F**K MILANO!

Yodli: Respect in the Sidemascots is another fictional story you tell your children.

Sacha: Don’t fix it, embrace it. Though respect in the Sidemascots really makes a good Christmas story.

Vinicius: Uhm… Clyde, I would rather have him than having a vegan in our team.

Clyde: YESSSSSSSS! NO SCOTLAND NO PARTY!

Yodli: Hello? Glasgow 2026 Organizing Committee? Yeah, I suggest you make a mascot that doesn’t have any Scottish stereotypes. What? You don’t have enough money? Well that’s what you get for working with Australians!

Borobi: NO GOLD COAST, NO PARTY!

Someity: Don’t you start…

Sumi: Ugh, Someity, come on in!

Yodli: The draft is complete!

Sacha: I’m going for Team Vini - so many aura players on their lineup…

Yodli: Right, I’m having a 5 minute nap, wake me up when the match’s about to start.

Sacha: Sure thing, though I won’t guarantee…

THE MATCH

(Disclaimer: All proceeds of this match will be donated to Sumi’s patreon and the Glasgow 2026 Organizing Committee)

Yodli: *yawns*, I had a weird dream…

Sacha: Which is?

Yodli: Being pulled into the Sidemascots one day.

Sacha: Oh. eh.

Yodli: Let’s look at the lineups! 

(Transition)

Yodli: Team Vini’s namesake is unsurprisingly their captain today, being lined up in attack by Miraitowa.

Sumi: DEFAULT OLYMPIC MASCOT!

Yodli: ALL MASCOTS ARE THE SAME!

Miraitowa: THANKS YODLI!

Sacha: What a shout-fest!

Yodli: Behind them is Clyde in midfield, who’s filling in for Burke tonight after he had a hangover.

Sacha: Hangover?

Yodli: He drank too much soft drinks after his boyhood club beat Messi in an MLS playoff game, causing one of the biggest upsets in league history?

Sacha: Oh, haha. Reminds me of Para.

Yodli: Borobi is the last outfield player…

Sacha: The only kid to mopping!

Yodli: Mopping? Oh… he flops like a big fish in a dry pond.

Honohon: Don’t you start!

Yodli: And Honohon is between the sticks!

Honohon: Goalkeeping jobs are boring! (Bangs the goalposts, which set fire on them), GAME ON!

Sacha: Am I seeing football or am I seeing a circus show?!

Yodli: A Sidemen Charity Match more like! Onto Team Sumi, as their captain desperately wants to play up front even though we all know he’s sh*t.

Wenlock: You’ll never be good up front! Get back to defense and let us COOK!

Sumi: Someity already manages the defense!

Wenlock: Shut up!

Sumi: Fine!

Yodli: Team Sumi lines up a front three of Wenlock, Fuleco and Tina!

Fuleco: What should we call this front three?

Wenlock: How about WTF- oh no…

Tina: We’re in the Sidemascots.

Wenlock: Phew, WTF it is. Make sure to not mention the name much or else we’ll get demonetized!

Yodli: With no one in midfield, Sumi is in defense, even though the whole back line was already managed by Someity.

Sacha: Someity bossing the defense? Wow, my school team is going to learn A LOT from her.

Yodli: And here comes today’s referee…

Mandeville: Mandeville!

Vinicius: I knew it! Team Sumi will win!

Mandeville: No! As I officiated Sidemascots 1.1, I will keep it fair and square! 5-minute halves, most goals wins, best of three penalties to break the tie! Who goes first?

Vinicius: I-

Mandeville: Team Sumi to kick off! The entire season had enough of you going first!

Vinicius: I knew it-

Mandeville: Argue the ref and you’re booked!

Vinicius: Fine, guys, we’re screwed.

Miraitowa: Does anyone read Blue Lock?

Yodli: We’re kicking it off!

Sacha: It’s LIVE! Ohohohohohohohohohoh!

Yodli: Can you please stop?

Sacha: Sorry, this is my first time commentating…

Yodli: WTF are pressing high up the pitch!

Honohon: Get out of my view!

Mandeville: Totally legal!

Yodli: Wenlock to make a cross to Fuleco… Tackled by Vini!

Wenlock: REFEREE!

Mandeville: Play on!

(Sumi throws a plushie of Vinicius onto the field)

Sumi: Football Fairness Support!

Vinicius: Hey! The disrespect!

Mandeville: FFS, whoops, checking in progress…

Yodli: Two accidental acronyms already? Wow…

Sacha: Don’t fix it, embrace it.

Yodli: after commentating the penalty shootout, you’re right, Sidemascots, embrace it.

Mandeville: Check complete! No foul!

Wenlock: SERIOUSLY?!

Vinicius: YIPPEE!

Yodli: That’s what you get when you hire a British to be their referee! Vinicius with the ball… Miraitowa on the left, Borobi on the right mopping, the ball freezes mid-air!

Miraitowa: What?!

Sacha: What?!

Yodli: By Someity! She’s putting her telekinesis to good use!

Mandeville: Play on!

Yodli: Someity throws the ball to the other side, Tina gets the ball, to Fuleco, but it hits the fiery crossbar! Wenlock to finish it…

(Wenlock is being elbowed by Vinicius)

Vinicius: ACCIDENTAL!

Sumi: Football Fairness Support!

Mandeville: One video challenge per half, please.

Sumi: DAMN!

Mandeville: Play on!

Vinicius: MIRAI!

Yodli: Vini makes another cross to Mirai, he shoots, strangled by Someity! He’s been thrown off the pitch!

Mandeville: Play on!

Yodli: Borobi mops to recieve the ball, he shoots…

Borobi: FOR AUCKLAND!

Yodli: He’s got thrown off too! The ball is out of play!

Mandeville: Play on! Oh, throw in for Team Sumi! 

Yodli: Wenlock and Sumi are arguing for the ball…

Mandeville: Yellow card to both of you for unsportsmanlike behavior!

Sumi: Why don’t you do that when Vinicius tackled Wenlock twice?

Mandeville: RED CARD FOR ARGUING THE REFEREE! POTATO POTATO!

Sumi: Bullsh*t.

Wenlock: Yippee!

Sacha: And I thought respect doesn’t exist.

Yodli: I mean it does exist in Mandeville’s head.

Sacha: Hm, true eh.

Yodli: Wenlock to throw the ball!

(Vinicius elbows Wenlock again)

Vinicius: Accidental!

Mandeville: Sumi said I should have book him in this situation… YELLOW CARD!

Vinicius: WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!?

Sumi: JUSTICE!

Yodli: Wenlock to throw the ball once again, good throw to Fuleco, head it, GOAL!

Fuleco: Allez, allez, allez!

Sacha: Woah oh, Fuleco could be the most prominent Brazilian in this match…

Vinicius: SHUT UP!

Yodli: The game restarts!

Miraitowa: LET’S G-

Sacha: The whole team are being thrown off!

Yodli: Tina reaches for the ball…

Borobi: Haha…

Sacha: Missed!

Yodli: That’s embarrassing. The ball is coming for the top of the Eiffel Tower!

Sacha: We’re in London, and indoors.

Yodli: Oh, haha…

Sumi: Football Fairness-

Mandeville: Can you just wait until halftime?!

Sumi: FINE! You never book Someity anyway…

(Someity snores)

Yodli: (whispers) It looks like their defense master is sleeping.

Sacha: She’s so cute… 🥺

Yodli: Vinicius tiptoes the ball… thrown off again! Mirai to shoot… blocked! Someity is living up to her name!

Sacha: Which is?

Yodli: So mighty.

Sacha: Oh yeah… so mighty, even when sleeping.

Mandeville: 4 min 58 seconds? I can’t wait any longer! *blows whistle* 

Yodli: The ref blows for halftime! Team Sumi leads 1-0!

Sacha: Right, I’m off to buy some crisps, remind me for the second half.

Yodli: Time for the HALFTIME SHOW!

Sacha: HALFTIME SHOW?!

(Cuts to a monkey riding an unicycle)

Sacha: That’s it?

Yodli: That’s it.

Sacha: I was expecting a live performance from We Actually Got Phạt on SoundCloud.

Yodli: They were planning for that too, unfortunately they wasted 80% of their budget to Australian authorities before moving to London.

Borobi: NO GOLD COAST, NO PARTY!

(Mandeville blows the whistle)

Yodli: It’s the sequel to the first half! The second half, only on YouTube!

Sacha: It looks like Someity refused to switch sides… or maybe she’s meditating?

Yodli: JUST MOVE YOUR ASS TO THE OTHER SIDE, SOMEITY!

Mandeville: Switch sides, Someity! Hello? Well no one wants someone like THIS in goal, red card! Get the hell o- 

Yodli: Mandeville is being thrown off the pitch!

Sacha: Miraitowa to counter, he spanked Someity! The biggest revenge story in history!

Yodli: Shouldn’t it be the other way round?

Sacha: Oh sorry, words can’t describe. I’m French.

Yodli: I’m Swiss and still fluent in English!

Sacha: Oh…

Yodli: Don’t expect to have chocolate from me, I’m not a stereotype.

(Miraitowa throws Someity off the pitch)

Miraitowa: GAME ON!

Vinicius, Borobi, and Honohon: YIPPEE!

Clyde: NO SCOTLAND NO PARTY!

Wenlock: Shit, Tina, I think you should play in goal, you’re the weakest link.

Tina: Fine…

Yodli: This match is going to be interesting… 5 v 3, will Team Sumi still win?

Sacha: Vinicius kicking it off!

Yodli: Miraitowa immediately counters Tina…

Miraitowa: FORZA MILANO!

Sacha: Tina punches Miraitowa!

Mandeville: YELLOW CARD!

Sumi: (throws a plushie of Vinicius from the sidelines) FOOTBALL FAIRNESS SUPPORT!

Mandeville: FFS checking in progress… check complete, Miraitowa’s action is totally legal!

Sumi: But…

Mandeville: Argue the referee again and you’ll be banned from the season finale!

Sumi: Fine…

Mandeville: PLAY ON!

Yodli: Vinicius passes the ball to Borobi, heads it, GOAL!

Sacha: MY MOPPING HERO!

Borobi: Mop mop mop!

Mandeville: Yellow card for terrible celebration!

Sacha: HEY! RESPECT MOPPING CULTURE!

Yodli: And it looks like Miraitowa’s has a concussion…

Sacha: It would be a total shame to all of the Mirasome fans if he misses the season finale…

Yodli: Fuleco kicks off once again, Wenlock farts at Clyde! Clyde hits Wenlock with his bagpipe!

Mandeville: Red card for punishing English people!

Clyde: I DON’T CARE YOU BLOODY FLUKE! SCOTLAND FOREVER!

Yodli: Hello? Glasgow 2026 Organizing Committee? Yes, how about I donate the proceeds from this Charity Match I’m attending to you all to make a non-stereotypical mascot? It should come at around 65p. Deal? Woohoo!

Mandeville: Hey, how about Sumi’s patreon?

Yodli: This is called “humanitarian work”, shut up and do your job!

Mandeville: Yellow card for arguing with the referee!

Yodli: Fine! I’ll stay, I’ll stay…

Sacha: The Premier League is going to take A LOT of notes from him!

Yodli: It’s Wenlock with the set-piece… To Fuleco for the trivela, hit the bar! Tina to hit it, saved by Honohon!

Honohon: YES! I’M BETTER THAN FILIP NGUYEN! VIETNAM NATIONAL TEAM TAKE NOTE!

Sacha: Honohon to throw the ball, Oh my, what a mistake! Goal by Wenlock!

Honohon: Whoops…

Yodli: Less than 2 minutes to go, considering Mandeville is too lazy to add injury time…

Sacha: Vinicius to restart!

Yodli: Vini passes to Borobi, he mops to Honohon, aiming for a long range shot… what a save by Tina! 

Tina: OLIVER GIROUD TAKE NOTE!

Vinicius: He’s not playing for AC Milan you know…

Tina: I DON’T CARE! GO!

Yodli: Fuleco to take the ball, intercepted by Clyde! The only highlight made by a Scottish in a football match! Clyde to cross it, Vinicius to finish it… HEADBUTTED BY TINA!

Sacha: Tina is kicking Vinicius’ head!

Mandeville: RED CARD FOR UNSPORTSMANLIKE BEHAVIOR! PENALTY!

Tina: FORZA INTER!

Yodli: Vinicius to take the penalty, I wonder who will save the game from going to penalties?

Mandeville: Kick the ball into the goal and send the game to penalties!

Vinicius: Easy!

Mandeville: (blows whistle) GO!

(The whole video slows down as Vinicius kicks the ball, suddenly a casket falls into the goal to stop the ball from conceding, Vinicius initially said “NO!” until Borobi comes in to make a diving header into the top corner, scoring a crucial goal for Team Vini.)

Yodli: GOAL!

Borobi: MOP MOP MOP!

Sacha: BOROBI, DROIT AU BUT!

Mandeville: Right, I’m sending you off!

Borobi: I DON’T CARE! NO GOLD COAST, NO PARTY!

Mandeville: Red card, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand… *blows whistle*

Yodli: Full time, it’s 2-2!

Sacha: This scripting is as corrupt as tumblr!

Yodli: Don’t say that, we’re on tumblr.

Sacha: Oh. Whoops.

Yodli: That means we’re onto penalties to decide the winner of this penultimate episode of the Sidemascots Season 1!

Mandeville: Vinicius, heads or tails?

Vinicius: Heads! I always win!

Mandeville: Tails!

Vinicius: Shit!

Mandeville: Wenlock?

Wenlock: I’ll pick the side not blocked by Quatchi’s casket, and with a large crowd.

(Cuts to an empty stand.)

Yodli: Today’s attendance is 314.

Sacha: It’s like an average COVID match!

Yodli: Pfffffffft… Thank god no one alive has Coronavirus PTSD. Wenlock to take the first penalty!

Vinicius: Honohon, go back to the goal as usual.

Honohon: Right. (Sets the goalposts on fire) GAME ON WENLOCK!

Wenlock: GAME ON!

Sumi: SHOOT RIGHT! HE ALWAYS DIVES RIGHT!

Sacha: HE ALREADY KNEW IT!

Yodli: Wenlock to shoot, saved. Surprise, surprise. 0-0. Vinicius to take his team’s first penalty.

Vinicius: Wenlock? Who chose him to be their goalie? (sends the ball in) This is easier than taking a penalty in an open goal!

Yodli: This script is so boring that I refuse to commentate.

Sacha: It will be commentated by ME-

Yodli: Sh, sh, shhhh…

Sacha: Fuleco to take the next penalty…

Sumi: TOP- Whoops, sorry, shouldn’t say in the sidelines…

Fuleco: (top right corner? got it.) (Sends the ball in) Allez allez allez!

Sacha: Is it me or is Fuleco having a 6th sense?

Yodli: Pffft…

Sacha: It’s Honohon for the second penalty…

Honohon: I’m going to do what I did in the handicap penalties episode! (preparing to blow)

Mandeville: Red card for attempting to blow fire onto people!

Honohon: But-

Mandeville: OUT!

Honohon: Fine, gee…

Mandeville: No goal!

Sacha: Wow, Mandeville is the second most strict referee after Pierluigi Collina! It’s Wenlock again for the third and final penalty for his team, and it looks like Vinicius, now goalie, is stretching his arms wide!

Vinicius: YOU WON’T STAND A CHANCE!

Wenlock: Oh really?

Vinicius: REALLY!

Wenlock: By the power of West Ham, I summon… THE HAMMERS!

Vinicius: WHAT?!

(Hammers crush the goalposts)

Vinicius: Well there’s still no way you would… oh.

Sacha: Wenlock redeems himself despite the broken goalposts!

Yodli: Meh.

Sacha: Which means, by my most precise calculations, if Vinicius misses, Team Sumi wins! The substitute goalie is Quatchi! (posthumously)

Vinicius: Easy! Top corner and we’re into sudden death!

Sumi: I like to see you try!

Mandeville: Stop arguing! (blows whistle) GO!

Sacha: It’s Vinicius with the very slow penalty run-up…

(The video goes slow-mo again as Vinicius kick the ball, the ball aims for the top corner as expected until…)

Sacha: IT HITS THE BAR!

Vinicius: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sacha: TEAM SUMI WINS!

Sumi, Tina, Fuleco and Wenlock: You haven’t won a challenge… since the first episode!

Sacha: THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST MATCH EVER!

Yodli: Best match ever, mer mer mer mer mer…

Sumi: Remember the epic forfeit-

Vinicius: We don’t have time to start a sh*t poll, just kick Clyde out and we’ll crack open the season finale… (gets hit by a bagpipe held by Clyde)

Sacha: That’s a wrap for the Sidemascots Charity Match! Remember, all proceeds are donated to the Glasgow 2026 Organizing Committee in efforts to make a non-stereotypical mascot! And tune in next week to see me suffer drawing…

THE SIDEMASCOTS!

Vinicius: Season 1!

Sumi: Episode 16, the season finale drops NEXT WEEK, then head on over to my Patreon to watch me shave my hair!

Vinicius: Hit like to hype up the season finale! It’s going to be bonkerz, and emotional!

Sumi: Oh, and check out both @scratchybongvt and @sashley1912 on Wattpad! Make sure to set…

Vinicius: That’s the Sidemascots!

Sumi: What?

Everyone: GOODBYE!

Sumi: But I didn’t…

Vinicius: Shhhhh…

Tom: SEASON FINALE? IT’S GOING TO BE SH-

(Cuts to the arena)

Burke: Guys, guys, guys! I’m back! I’ve already recovered from my hangover yesterday but I’ve decided to spend 3 hours playing Overwatch 2 today! Hello?

Yodli: Oh hi Burke. If you’re looking for the Sidemascots, well the match is already over.

Burke: Who won?

Yodli: Boringly Team Sumi, who won on penalties.

Burke: Oh… It’s a shame I missed it.

Yodli: On the other hand, you won’t miss the season finale.

Burke: Oh, true.

Hair (length and original color): Black, prefers to keep mid-neck

Eyes: Left: blue, Right: green

Extras (blemishes, scars, etc.): Freckles sort of like Felix’s; all over his cheeks and nose, a mole on the upper right corner of his lip

☆ Facts ☆

He’ll mindlessly bounce his leg up and down or tap his foot, when he comes to his senses though, he’ll stop, fearing he was bothering someone with the constant subtle ‘click click’ noise

He has a kitten and is always looking forward to seeing him when he gets back to his home

He was 15 when Skz debuted

He trained for 2-ish years 

He loves listening to girl groups and giving them support, his favorite is (G)I-DLE.

He has a very feminine sneeze but no one really knows why nor do they really mind, they just find it funny (his siblings and friends)

Ash has a younger brother and 2 older twin sisters, his brother is named Parker and his sisters are Tatum and Hayden

He used to wear brown contacts because he was self-conscious of his heterochromia

He has naturally pink cheeks

He has a baby-blue bunny that he can’t sleep without

When he got a phone for the first time, his sister Hayden, got him a Miku phone case so when that phone died for good, he was really sad but only because of the phone case (luckily though, he got a similar, if not better, Miku phone case and has it on his phone now)

If he’s sick in bed with nothing to do, he’ll mosey into the living room or a room with a comfortable laying place with a TV and either binge The Seven Deadly Sins or South Park

He keeps his 3 friendship bracelets on from his best friend whom he met in 6th grade and will often call that friend despite the time difference

If he had to marry a male idol who wasn’t in his group, he’d pick Beomgyu from TXT

He’s very afraid of any bug unless it’s the common beetle which isn’t very common for him because he’s only found them about 1-2 times

He kept most of his essays from 7th-8th grade because he missed all the teachers from those grades

He’ll cry for no reason whatsoever and will likely cry more when someone asks him what’s wrong because he has no idea why he’s crying, he just is

Once, in 7th grade, he jokingly asked his science teacher for a Diet Coke and she gave him one but she told him to not tell anyone or let anyone see it because she technically wasn’t allowed to give soda to students.

He hates wearing clothes so he’ll often wear shorts and a tank top unless he’s outside in fall-winter

Speaking of seasons, his favorite is Fall

If he had to pick between Pepsi and Coke, he’d easily pick Coke, specifically Wild Cherry Coke

Back at his home, he has almost 3 walls of squish mallows and even more that are crowding under his bed and on his bed

He used to be horrified of thunderstorms but after he hadn’t had one in a while, he was really happy when he found out that around his area, a very gnarly one was going to hit in a few days (but soon regretted it and went back to being scared)

If he could, he’d adopt a bear cub and raise it as his own baby, preferably a brown bear

His friends make fun of him (playfully of course) for cosplaying so many female or feminine characters like Felix Argyle/Ferris, Elizabeth Lionis, and Grelle

He gets his nails done professionally every few weeks and if he gets bored of the design but doesn’t have time to get them done professionally, he’ll ask on of the other members to help him paint them because of how shaky he is

He gets really happy whenever he finds a Cotton Candy Bang energy drink because he can never find them anywhere

He uses the 🩵 emoji the most

He gets really happy when he sees blue as it's his favorite color

I would add so much more but this is getting long

TWD:DD Rewatch Recap Ep 2

I'm rewatching the first season of TWD: Daryl Dixon to look for anything that stands out now that we know all the characters and how the season ends. The second episode was more fun on rewatch. The second recap is even longer than the first, so strap in or scroll on.

Mork and Mindy

The scene of Mork buying Mindy hideous clothes because he wants to take her dancing is from the series finale called The Mork Report. The plot of the episode is Mork sending a report to Ork about what it takes to have a happy Earth marriage. (His answers were honesty, respect, romance and compatibility if anyone is interested.) It makes Daryl's melancholy line “you can't miss what you never had” punch a lot harder. There's no doubt in my mind he was thinking about Carol, the only woman he's ever exchanged “I love you”s with.

Daryl, Isabelle, Laurent and the kids at the school

There's an interesting theme about lying in this episode. Isabelle, Daryl and Lou (the leader girl at the school) all lie, but for different reasons and handle the consequences differently. Isabelle lied to Laurent about who his father was, causing him to embarrass himself when he repeats the absurd tale to the kids at the school. She also lied to Laurent about Asterix the mule surviving after Daryl has to cut him loose for being loud and uncooperative. Laurent finds Asterix dead being chowed down on by 2 dogs (one of which looks a lot like Dog). Laurent yells “you lied to me!” at Isabelle and runs off. You see him later banging a stick against a contraption the kids set up in the yard, and he stays mad at Isabelle for the rest of the episode. Isabelle never apologizes. She only says that she babies him because he's special.

Lou lied to the other kids about the fate of the two boys she took with her to the castle where the peak “ugly American” trope lives. She told the other kids they were still on a mission, which isn't completely untrue because she didn't know their fate when she ran off to save herself. When Daryl returns with her, they rescue one boy and find the other a walker. She tearfully takes responsibility and puts him down. Lou is so mature and loving as a teenager being thrust into an impossible position.

Daryl lied to Lou about medicine being able to save their severely ill teacher. He knew she was too far gone, but needed the horse from the ugly American so he could hold up his end of the bargain with Isabelle and make it home. When they came back to the teacher having passed, Lou is crushed they're too late. Daryl confesses to lying about the medicine so he could get the horse and apologizes. Lou gives Daryl a nod of forgiveness. (Nobody mentions this, but the kids have access to everything in that castle now that the ugly American is dead, so Daryl did them a huge favor) Daryl gives Lou words of encouragement about what a good leader she already is and will continue to be, then offers to put down the teacher for her, but Lou declines and Daryl gives her privacy. The camera cuts to a mystified Isabelle, who apparently has never apologized in her life and doesn't understand how sincere human interaction works.

Codron

He's barely in the episode, but it's an important scene. He finds the map of their route, and because of Isabelle's detour, has time to heal from his multiple gunshot wounds and catch up to them in Paris. He also cries again as he finds the bodies of his compatriots rotting in the courtyard of the abbey while the nuns have all been given proper burials. Poor tender-hearted baby. I almost hope Carol has to mercy-kill him so they can cry pretty together.

Isabelle, Quinn and Lily – Flashback

@silver-shana-fox noticed a poster for the ballet Orphée behind Isabelle in the metro station. She explained that it's based on the Greek myth Orpheus and Eurydice and the story has parallels to Isabelle and Quinn. The original myth is that Eurydice (Izzy) dies from a snakebite and Orpheus (Quinn) makes a deal with Hades that if he leads her out of the underworld without looking back she can live, but Orpheus turns around right at the end and Eurydice is sucked back into the underworld, meaning Quinn and Izzy's relationship was always doomed. The title of the ballet is the same as a 1950 movie that adds extra characters, death and a pregnancy, so it might also be an easter egg hint that Quinn was Laurent's father.

At the abbey you meet little student Sylvie whose parents never came to get her. It's revealed that Lily was bitten after Izzy stole Quinn's car. She dies in childbirth and turns, forcing Father Jean to perform a c-section. He proclaims the baby's survival a miracle, so Isabelle takes the baby into a room and names him Laurent after the first statue of a saint she sees. I'm still undecided on where the show will go with how “special” Laurent is. Lily was having pregnancy complications before she was bitten, and likely died from those complications and not the fever. Everyone is already infected, but the virus was activated in her hours before Laurent was born. Science wise, how the baby reacts to maternal disease during delivery depends on the disease and whether the baby passed through the birth canal, so it's impossible to know how a made-up virus with no real-world analog would behave during a c-section. Lore wise this is also uncharted territory, so the show could do anything, but I suspect Laurent won't be the cure.

Odds and Ends

Isabelle is an inveterate liar and thief. There was no reason to say Daryl was a priest, and it put him in the awkward position of having to say grace later. As a southern man that lived with an Episcopalian priest, there's no way he would be that rusty on the rules of not eating before saying grace, or being so in the weeds about what to say. Shades of him suddenly not knowing how to drive a stick shift so Denise could make fun of him. However, I respect that they wanted to show Daryl's childlike innocence in that situation and have him give that painfully earnest blessing.

Knowing what we know now about Quinn being Laurent's father, it makes sense that he would be hesitant to take Lily with them. He deserved to be puked on, but did it have to go in his mouth? Gross. Quinn proved himself to be resourceful, unafraid and decisive, so it makes sense that he would survive and be the head of an underground club a decade later.

The bed scene was even more tense than I remembered. Daryl is laying on the bed and offers to leave when Isabelle comes in. She says the bed is big enough and Daryl stays because he ain't sleeping on the floor for the likes of her when she didn't offer to do the same. Isabelle gets on Daryl for lying to Lou, and he throws her “the truth can wait” line back at her. She says a mule is different than their teacher and Daryl is visibly agitated. He says they just need to find a radio and Isabelle sounds irritated when she replies “So you can go home.”. Daryl, still agitated, says “Yes, so I can go home.” What is she doing acting possessive of him when they've known each other a few days at best? Back off, lady. The whole episode highlights that Isabelle is a terrible person.

Söz Review

So I decided to actually write a review for Söz, because I'm so obsessed with the show and my last review was getting too long. Please be aware that there will be spoilers, though I'll try to avoid them.

Acting

Let me start by saying the cast was excellent. Yes there were some moments of stiff acting and some occasions where it was obvious a fight scene was staged, but overall it was perfect. The emotion the actors were able to convey was perfect. The chemistry between them, whether romantic partners, family, enemies, or brotherhood, they had great chemistry between each other.

Music and Cinematography

The music in this show is banging. There are several soundtracks that I've downloaded. The cast also has several scenes throughout the show where they sing and play instruments, and it's always lovely and serves to add depth to scenes and characters. The cinematography too was very professional. Very well done.

Plot

Going into this show, it's not hard to miss the fact that it's military propaganda. Not going to lie, I didn't care. I've seen shows with more. If you've ever watched a Chinese military drama, you'll see that this is pretty tame. There is a lot of patriotism in this show, where Turkiye is standing alone against the rest of the world. I love a good patriotic show that shows a love for country and culture. They did a good job of not saying what country they are fighting, or where the terrorists come from, so it's not like they're insulting anyone. It's very much good versus evil, especially in the first two seasons. In the third season, we get to see some shades of grey, when Yavuz is playing the spy and committing illegal deeds for his country. But even then he's still firmly established as the good guy who never hurts innocents.

Seasons 1 & 2

I cried so much in the season 2 finale. The last two episodes had me sobbing. And this is after Fatma and Hafiz. I couldn't handle my tears when it came to Bahar.

They do a really good of establishing the characters. From the start, when we are introduced to Yavus, we know that he is smart and quick, and a good shot. He is immediately introduced as a hero, and then a tragic figure when they fridged his fiance. But we also learn that he is kind and a good man, and in the moments before she died, that he very much loved Merve. From then we are immersed in his grief for the majority of season 1. But we also get to know his sense of duty and purpose to his country which drives him. I don't think I've seen a character I admire more. Yavuz was perfectly characterized by Tolga Saritas. The perfect big brother to his team. An exemplary leader.

We get to know the team from there, the seven central characters: Hafiz, Ates, Avci, Ceylak, Kesanli, Asik, Erdem. I have never seen a more supportive brotherhood. A good thing about this show being military propaganda is that they don't give the soldiers any evil storylines. These are good boys. They respect their superiors, their parents, their loved ones... It's a group of good men. Hafiz is the prophet, he's pious, and wholesome, and wise. Then there's Ates, our intelligence agent and master of disguise. He's the womanizer of the group. Then theres Avci, our hunter, and the last man to make me cry in season 3. Then there's Ceylak, our rookie, with an innocent quality that remains throughout the show which his team members try to keep alive. They treat him like the baby, he's their baby. Then Kesanli, our wild card. He's the cutest and gentlest boy who loves to play Cupid. Finally, of those under Yavuz's command, we have Asik, our medic with a beautiful voice. Lastly, we have their general, Erdem. If Yavuz is their big brother, Erdem is their father.

Then we have the girls. Bahar is our female lead, a doctor, empathetic, kind, soft. When we meet her, we immediately get the sense that she wants more from her life, that she wants to do more but she doesn't know how. Meeting Yavuz and going to the military base and meeting the people there gives her a new purpose. She launches into it without looking back. And it's admirable that she knows what she wants and goes after it immediately. She wasn't thrown off or hesitant. She didn't fear rejection, but waited for acceptance. Her story largely revolved around informing the audience of abuses people suffer, such as domestic violence, drugs, etc. Her relationship with Yavuz was not a major focus for either of them, but they gravitated towards one another naturally. I honestly do think that they were a great couple. They had physical attraction to one another, then were friends throughout season 1, then during season 2 they finally get together in the business transaction marriage trope, and fall in love throughout their time together.

Then we have Eylem, who we are introduced to as a reporter who turns out to be a spy. Lovely Eylem who starts out as a pain in Avci and the rest of the team's butt and then turns into their love/best friend. She is the bada** girl who can shoot a gun and take care of herself.

Then we have Su, Guler, and Nazli, all of whom, like Bahar, are mainly used to show aspects of war and civilian life that are impacted by terror. We get to see their love stories unfold which are cute and fluffy for the most part, although Nazli's got much more drama.

Season 1 and 2 were my favorite. It had it's flaws but I didn't really pay much attention to those because they were largely overshadowed by how good it.

Season 3

This season was my least favorite. But that's because the first two seasons left such a high bar. Season 3 was still excellent, but there were more noticeable problems. The first problem, is that Yavuz was isolated from his team. I'm not saying I didn't love him being a spy and taking on the bad guys all lone wolf. But I love him when he's leading a team, and you can tell that's what he loves doing. His scenes with the other team members when they go to him for advice are my favorite. He's their leader, and it's very obvious that's where he feels the safest and the most stable. They bring him security and sanity. By himself, he's still awesome and charming, but with his team you can tell he's unconquerable.

The second thing I didn't love was the virus plot. I get that it was designed to bring him and Darya close and have them share this secret, and about her making him want to live. But I wasn't such a fan. When they first brought it up, and he was suicidal and wanted to die, I thought that was a great line to follow up on, but then it became so much about the love line between him and Darya and giving Darya a reason to interfere in his life that I was iffy about it. This is not about Darya bashing, I just wish it wasn't a plot line. Although, I will attribute the bad decisions Yavuz makes this season to being in delirious pain from the virus. While they don't really show it, it's established that he's in constant nerve pain and is losing his senses, so I'll say that the bad judgment he shows on the occasions where there are any are due to the virus. Because I'll be honest, there were some occasions where my only response to something Yavuz said was "Ugh. you dumb bitch." I'll let you figure out which moments those are. I'm not one to blame the woman for the man being stupid, so I won't blame Darya, I'll blame the virus.

The third thing, not to sound judgmental, is Darya. It's not that I didn't like her. As a love interest, if it was just about her inspiring him to live, I would be okay with it. But with the whole, she's chasing after him to find out whether he's a criminal and not giving up about it even when they are in a relationship, I just thought was... uggh. A lot of her reactions to him are based off intuition and not actual evidence (and she does that a lot in other respects as well) and intuition is good and all, but having him followed, or questioning people he talked to and what not just hit me wrong I guess. I didn't love it. And while she wasn't wrong, it all felt very distrustful and problematic for a future relationship. I mean, she was so determined for him to be guilty. Even when the evidence was showing that he wasn't (which obviously he was guilty, but she didn't have evidence to prove it) she kept chasing it, even while she was in a relationship with him. DON'T BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM IF YOU'RE GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY TO PROVE THEIR GUILT! Don't go saying I love you to someone and I want to be with you while going out of your way to send them to prison. And I know she gets over it but I mean, why start the relationship like that. They could have started later, they should have started later. There was no reason they had to be in a relationship right away. I'm sorry but I'm very upset about this. Why does she deliberately sabotage her own relationship. It's not even about how she was right, she knew there was a possibility of other reasons, but she ignored them. She didn't want to believe anything other than guilt. Now I'm not saying Darya should be deprived of her own story and agency. I guess I'm just saying, I wish they hadn't rushed the story line with them. They could have gotten together much later than they did, it would have been better for them and for the audience, who was still mourning Bahar.

The fourth were the villains. Season 2 Derman was much more villainous in my opinion. He committed much more heinous crimes and managed to kill many more people. That said, Linda was a fucking nightmare. I was so frustrated with her the entire time. So she did make a wonderful villain. I did enjoy that there was a bigger cast of villains the third season, and that they were getting picked off one by one by Yavuz and the team.

Finally, the fifth problem was . . . well the characters are much more emotional this season. You know, true, not without good reason. Yavuz is very obviously traumatized and so are the others. Ates and Kasanli especially were very much driven by their emotions this season. And you'd think they'd learn from their commander, but apparently not. I accept that they aren't robots, but this season, they make most of their decisions led by their emotions in situations where in previous seasons, they would have been more level headed.

What I loved this season was Eylem and Avci's relationship. They blossomed this season and for the most heartbreaking reason. Avci's death was a punch in the gut. I hadn't cried that much since Bahar.

I loved the new team with Kopuk and Turan and Yavuz. While I missed him with his OG team, these three had great chemistry and bonding. I loved their scenes together.

Romance

Now, the romance of the show wasn't a major aspect of it, it was mostly about brotherhood, family, patriotism, but romance did play a good part. (Side note: This is one of the best stories of brotherhood and friendship. They are so supportive of each other!) Throughout watching the show, I've had a few thoughts about Yavus's relationships that I want to write down. The romance: (SPOILERS) When I think about the relationships Yavuz had, I can only describe it like this. Merve, to Yavuz, was like a meadow, sweet and airy. His love for her was briefly shown, but we saw his grief all of season 1, and to me, his grief was like he was drowning in an ocean. And that ocean becomes slowly rain when he meets and falls in love with Bahar. He still grieves Merve, but Bahar gave him friendship, and companionship, and love, and he opened up to her in a way that he hadn't done before. It wasn't about passion but stability. He wasn't drowning anymore, he was on solid ground, with a light rainy mist. And then when Bahar dies, it's like a drought. He's not nourished anymore, there is a great weight sitting on him and he's collapsed. And then Darya, she's like a warm fire. He's not scalded by the heat anymore, he's just warm now. I say this because after all the pain, he's never over the trauma. He never loses the love he had for his past relationships. They are still there, but the pain changes, people enter his life that make the pain less unbearable and give him renewed hope. Something I love about the series is that he doesn't fall into relationships to heal himself. He finds purpose in his duty and his country so he can heal, and the relationships he has shows that he is open to love. (And this isn't to add any toxicity, but I just want my opinion to be known... I love him with Bahar and she's my favorite).

Concluding notes

Anyway. This was an amazing show! I loved it. I didn't feel like I was suffering through it at all. Very much recommend.

Season 10 (2018)

So Season 10 starts off like a 9/10.... I truly thought it was going to be one of the best. But, after The Vixen left, the last four episodes are like a 4/10, which drops the average down. The Werk Room/Untucked scenes become boring. "Breastworld" and "Evil Twins" are two of the worst challenges in the show's entire herstory. Especially the latter, which forced the queens to reveal their insecurities on TV, and were put in the bottom if they weren't cruel enough to themselves. Not to mention the cringe worthy editing to make it seem like the Good Twins and Evil Twins were on the stage at the same time. AND SHOWING THE GOOD TWINS WATCHING BACKSTAGE. Really...? Also, Ru is as high as kite during his walkthrough with the social media influencers in the Make Over episode, which is actually unintentionally funny. And then the finale has such disappointing lips syncs compared to Season 9, between Asia's dead butterflies, Aquaria's trip being edit out, and "Bang Bang" being a complete clusterfuck as the top 3 try to outdo each other with their stunts.   The Vixen is responsible for like 90% of the drama this season. She had a major intense fight in 3 different Untucked episodes. First she battled Aquaria, then Eureka, and finally her friends. 9% of the drama comes from Aquaria being conceited and Asia going on random rants. The final 1% is Kalorie and Yuhua having an attitude, but it's minimal and they aren't around for long anyways. The premiere also sets up this pre-season feud between Aquaria and Cracker because they apparently look alike. We've already been there with Alyssa vs Coco, and this "rivalry" didn't amount to much after episode 2. As for the other challenges, PharmaRusical might be the worst Rusical. It was so disappointing they did a second Rusical to make up for it! - the Cher one, and it wasn't much better. The Snatch Game was mostly funny, but Asia and the Vixen playing Beyonce and Blue Ivy, respectively, was rough. Bossy Rossy was a solid challenge, but the adult babies creeped me out. The Last Ball on Earth had some good looks though. And the Drag Con panel was a nice new addition. Plus the mini-challenge where they had to sit on items and identify them was stupid enough to be funny. Season 10 continues this new trend of having a big name celebrity guest judge. This time it's Christina Aguilera, who walks the runway pretending to be Farrah Moan as a fake out. I'm not sure when the trauma stories during the make-up sessions became more prominent, but I definitely noticed them more in Season 10. Probably because Season 10 is when production switched the episode length to 60 minutes (90 with commercials). Say what you will about Season 15 episodes being too short, I never had an issue with Seasons 1-9 being only 40 minutes long. I never felt like I was missing anything important. I get exhausted when I try to binge watch these longer episodes, and there's definitely some filler towards the end of this season. Also, Season 10 has 6 main characters (Aquaria, Eureka, Asia, Monet, the Vixen, and Mo) plus Vanjie being iconic, and the other 7 queens don't stand out as much. The unofficial Lip Sync Assassin title kept changing hands - from Monet to Vixen to Kameron, which was pretty cool. I got sick of all the New York mentions though. And the Double Shantay was such obvious riggory in Eureka's favour. I imagine production planned for Kameron to leave at the final 6 instead, but she slayed the lip sync.

Queens Ranking: 14. Eureka A whole season of Eureka... including a sympathy edit, crying in front of the judges, and bringing up trauma stories when she flopped. Just look at everyone hugging her in episode 2. Furthermore, she acted like the Vixen was the problem, claiming that the Vixen verbally attacked her and disliked her for no reason, while Eureka did nothing wrong. Which was BS. Eureka admitted to Mayhem afterwards that she was testing Vixen's reaction. She then lied to the Vixen about the "y'all"/"you" thing and used abuse trauma to excuse her big personality. She also pressured Kameron to sing and accused Asia of overreacting. She took over in every team challenge. Her confessionals were extra ("...buttholes are clenched", "pussies on fleek"). She thought she was judged at a higher standard. She was oddly defensive about her Make Over. Her friendly supportive chats with everyone felt so phony. She walked off on Untucked because they didn't give her attention. Her comments that the Vixen wants power over others, that Asia was jealous of Cracker, that "[the girls] always second guess every time I'm doing well" rubbed me the wrong way. Eureka came off superior, smug, and condescending. The only time I agreed with her was when the Vixen criticized her Snatch Game. But good for her finding body positivity in the baby challenge. In the competition: Eureka flopped in week 2, when she looked "out of it" during PharmaRusical and didn't know the words. But she became a contender soon after. From the "yeah we know girl" line in the End of Days advert, to playing a baby in Bossy Rossy (whatever), to being the audience favourite in the Drag Con panel ("proportionizing!!"), to her Honey Boo Boo in Snatch Game (even if she kept repeating the drawing pictures joke). She's already done Drag Con so no wonder she won that. But then Eureka was tentative in the Cher Rusical, and the hairdryer bit in "Breastworld" fell flat. I didn't like her Best Drag, Silver Foxy and Good Twin runways either. Glitterific was probably her best one. Also, Eureka just did the splits and high kicks in every single lip sync. And so many outfit reveals in the finale. 13. Dusty Ray Bottoms I don't have much of an opinion on Dusty. She gave me Milk vibes. She always had this creepy smile/eyes. She labelled herself as "dark, glamorous and trashy" with a punk style, but I wasn't into her drag. She thought she would've won PharmaRusical if she wasn't on the losing team. But seemed reasonable when explaining her views on situations in Untucked. Like when she called Aquaria standoffish lol. She also had that gay conversation therapy story. Otherwise, Michelle didn't want Dusty doing the dots on her face all the time, which left her feeling torn about it because it was her signature look. In the competition: Well, I did NOT like the dots on Dusty's face. I didn't like her runways either. Dusty's Drag on a Dime Tin Man outfit looked scrappy. While her Martian outfit didn't follow the theme. Her episode 2 runway wasn't bad though. As for the performance challenges, I thought Dusty was fine in both of them. Not top 3 worthy though. 12. Kameron Michaels Kameron brought a unique aesthetic as a tattooed, masculine, muscled queen. But she's too dry and matter-of-fact for me to care about. She didn't have much screen time in the early episodes either; aside from being labelled "the trade of the season" and mumbling while brainstorming. She was a quiet queen, who was conditioned to not show emotion. Her later moments include: not celebrating prematurely, keeping her desire to win the challenge a secret, and saying being eliminated would've been easier than eliminating someone. Meanwhile Asia/Cracker/Monet acted like Kameron was crazy for saying she was terrible in "Breastworld"... when she clearly was. And they didn't understand why she walked off on Untucked. Kameron is an introvert, so just let her be? She also flipped out at the final 5 Untucked. Otherwise, Kameron was one of Eureka's besties. In the competition: Kameron was the unexpected Lip Sync Assassin, beating the production faves in the endgame. She won the Cher Rusical by focusing on the mannerisms, and she was one of the better ones in Bossy Rossy. But she was too exaggerated in PharmaRusical, she was a dry narrator in the Fibstr advert, and I didn't agree with her "high" placement in the Ball - I thought her Martian look was junky. Her "Breastworld" character had the most annoying whiny voice too. Her Make Over was basic. And I didn't like her Evil Twin outfit. My fave Kameron runways were the elaborate feather one and Silver Foxy. 11. Miz Cracker Cracker had a bigger edit than I remembered. Her confessionals came off too self-controlled - like every word was carefully planned out... or corny ("...not even a partridge in a pear tree!"; "Dr Dill is Jewish!"; "American Horror Story: Cher Edition"). Asia even called her robotic. It's because Cracker came from a sheltered, poor childhood with high expectations. She felt dread in challenges, even talking to herself during one of them. And she was vocal in group chats. She slammed her drink down at the Vixen. She gave a learn to love yourself speech and an appreciate what you have speech on Untucked. She built Monet and Mo up. She hard criticized Eureka's Make Over. She confronted Aquaria about her overconfidence in this very indirect way lol. And she disputed Asia's claims of being used. Also lol at Asia and Mo's reactions to Cracker's name in the premiere. As for the Aquaria copycat thing, I don't believe Cracker intended it. In the competition: Cracker's Pickle character in Bossy Rossy was her best moment, but she became a comedy queen who couldn't excel in comedy challenges. She sounded mean in the Drag Con panel and neutral toned in "Breastworld". Still, she tried something with her Ball looks. Her Make Over was beautiful (she waited so long for that win too). And both of her hair headpiece runways were cool. In the end, Cracker's Evil Twin outfits didn't match and she went soft in the self-critiques, but that challenge was stupid anyways.  10. Kalorie Karbdashian-Williams Kalorie was known as a "twerk queen", but her twerking fell into "one trick pony" territory. She didn't have a ton of content on the actual episodes either, aside from her story about being bullied for her weight. She was quite bitter on Untucked though. In the first one, she was upset that some of the safe girls didn't use as much stuff. She proceeded to criticize Monet and Aquaria's outfits, while throwing Blair under the bus. Then in the second Untucked, she took issue with the group not asking her about her critiques. But she had a sweet goodbye after that at least. In the competition: Kalorie's Drag on a Dime money outfit looked sloppily put together. While in PharmaRusical, her foot slipped off the chair lol. Her second runway was basic too. But she was fun in the first lip sync, where she twerked and pulled out dollar bills into the splits. 9. Mayhem Miller Mayhem was the timid and sensitive one. She waited so long to get on the show, and then she cried on the first Untucked because she finally felt validated. She comforted her bestie Eureka on Untucked. She played peacemaker between Vixen and Eureka after their massive fight. And in her final Untucked, she gave this big speech about being grateful for the opportunity. She was at peace with her growth. That said, I don't agree with Mayhem saying that her voice wasn't heard in the team discussion. Mo gave her an opportunity to claim the narrator role, but Mayhem didn't want to be seen as aggressive. I understand that, but this is a cutthroat competition and being passive won't get you far. Indeed, Kameron snatched that narrator role and Mayhem was left with one line. In the competition: Mayhem was solid with runways. She won the first challenge thanks to her black gloves outfit. I also thought she was the second-best overall in the Ball. Her pink cowgirl runway was cute too. But the acting challenges caused Mayhem's premature downfall. She didn't appear in the Fibstr advert until the very end, where her character was confusing. And she was the most forgettable in Bossy Rossy. But she slayed that "Celebrity Skin" lip sync - it was intense in the best way. 8. Yuhua Hamasaki Yuhua had fun responses during the entrances - "you’re not a real woman either!" Then she couldn't differentiate the black queens.💀In episode 3, she offered bad ideas while brainstorming with Monet, and didn't realize their ad already had a name. Then she snapped at Aquaria and Monet for not letting her use a fake nose, while saying "nobody asked for Aquaria's opinion" in confessional. Monet did sound bossy tbf. She also kept giving excuses to the judges - from saying she had something better during the second runway, to feeling rushed during the advert challenge. She still had one of my favourite entrance looks though. In the competition: Yuhua seemed like a strong competitor at first - with her yellow caution tape ankh and her underrated PharmaRusical performance. But she wasn't funny in the Butterface advert and she misunderstood how to be ugly for it. And then she had to go against Mayhem's impressive lip sync. 7. Blair St. Clair The twinkiest twink to ever twink on Drag Race. Blair had the most UTR edit of the Season 10 cast. She had the "so dot dot dot fill in the blank" confessional, she said "yeah I'm a little sneak attack" in this cute voice, and showed her stats notebook. But her personality was kinda... bland (no offence). She was just happy to be there. When Kalorie threw her under the bus, she avoided the drama and told Aquaria she loved the concept. She was sweet to Mayhem in Mayhem's last Untucked. And she missed her mom a lot, so it was nice when she got that video message. In Blair's final episode, she shared her sex abuse story to the judges. And again on Untucked, where she explained that she needed to be a happier person after that experience. I'm glad she was able to move on from it. In the competition: If PharmaRusical wasn't based on teams, I'd mark Blair as "safe" every single week except the round she left. She's a Broadway queen and can act... but she just wasn't funny. I did like her Drag on a Dime sun protector thing, her Ball looks, plus her Best Drag runway was pretty too. But ultimately, Blair's teammates overran her during the Drag Con panel, when she was trying to moderate. And then she had to lip sync after sharing personal trauma. 6. Monét X Change The narrator of Season 10. Monet had these "high horse" or unaware moments. Particularly in the first Untucked where she thought the judges loved her sponge dress, was surprised that the queens didn't get the concept, defended Cracker to Vixen, told Kalorie "mine looks good and yours doesn't", and said that Kalorie is just bitter. Even after that, she sounded bossy to Yuhua, she acted like Aquaria didn't deserve to win Snatch Game, and she called the Vixen immature and combative. But most of the time, Monet interjected with a congenial approach when there was conflict. Like saying she appreciated the Vixen's realness. And she had fun in confessionals, like she was just hanging out backstage. I also liked her "sweep up the competition" entrance. And she was there for Eureka and Cracker when they needed support. Her English accent story was funny too. In the competition: Monét was Lip Sync Assassin #1. The "nope" wave in "Pound The Alarm" and the hairspray cans and smoking in "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" were fun moments. She wasn't bad in "Good As Hell" either, even breaking a stage light. But, aside from the crossed-eye bit in PharmaRusical, Monét had a rough start. The sponge dress was not couture. The Martian outfit looked unprofessional (the cut; the black marker). That cake bit in Bossy Rossy was confusing. And her neon winter, Denim & Diamonds and Glitterific runways were a mess. She was read for her pussycat wigs too. The sagging boobs runway was creative though. But then Monét found Ru-demption. Her Maya Angelou in Snatch Game was good enough to win. And she had those ad libs in "Breastworld". But of course another design challenge ended her run, with that cheap-looking Make Over. 5. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo "MISS VANJIE... MISS VANJIE... MISS VANJIE" is the most iconic exit line in the show's herstory. It was repeated in practically every episode after. Even without the meme, Vanessa had protentional to be a great TV character. She had this very uhhh... vanjie... way of talking that came off as an authentic personality. She compared RuPaul to the Loch Ness Monster, she said "What the- bitch are we on Big Brother?" when they were de-dragging, and she made a "cleaning crew" comment about Monet's sponges. I loved listening to her talk. So I'm glad Vanjie was given a Shangela-style second chance, even though I haven't watched Season 11 yet. In the competition: Vanjie's Drag on a Dime Barbie doll outfit wasn't in my bottom 3, although her entrance look would be. I get it though - it was like her entire upper body was bloated into a clump of clutter. She held her own against Kalorie in the lip sync though. 4. The Vixen Polarizing but Season 10 is empty without the Vixen. Her entrance line "I'm just here to fight" was right. She immediately called people out, and didn't beat around the bush. She said Cracker "faked it to Season 10", and questioned Monet's pushback over that comment. She exposed Aquaria for acting different to Cracker's face. She clapped back at Aquaria for the borrowed wig remark and the "negative" label. While on Untucked, the Vixen raised an important point about the "angry black woman" stereotype, since Aquaria came for her first and now Aquaria's crying over it. Next, the Vixen tore Eureka to shreds after the "can I go smoke" comment ("you are exactly the girl I did not like on Season 9"); while Eureka made the Vixen look like the aggressor (ugh). Then the Vixen criticized Eureka's Snatch Game performance and called her unprofessional to the judges. But she went too far on Untucked, calling Asia and Mo fake and disloyal for saying she should go home, because friends don't do that. Since the Vixen named Eureka for personal reasons, she assumed everyone else made it personal. She also said she wouldn't let them take away her dream. Finally, in her last Untucked, she called out the non-glitter outfits. The Vixen was passionate about doing bold political drag, and that hurt and anger stayed with her on the show (as she said: "It is impossible being a black gay drag queen in America"). The Vixen refused to change for others; saying you should know how she is, so don't "poke the bear". Otherwise, she paired Eureka and Aquaria to sabotage them. She suggested playing Cracker/Aquaria in the challenge lol. She gave facial reactions at Eureka (the air violin lol). She didn't listen to what roles her teammates wanted in episode 2. And she was supportive to Blair after the sexual assault story. In the competition: The Vixen was Lip Sync Assassin #2. I enjoyed her stunts the first time, but it felt repetitive the second time. She was also the star of PharmaRusical; starting things off with that chair kick. But she really struggled during the middle. Her and Asia were a disastrous duo. She broke character during improv. Blue Ivy in Snatch Game was a bad idea. And she didn't emulate Cher in the second Rusical. Also, her 3 Ball looks could've been executed better. Same with the Drag on a Dime pool noodles. My fave Vixen runways were the peacock, the hats and the glitter construction paper. 3. Aquaria Conceited, self-absorbed, and poised in confessional, but in a non-serious way? "Not only am I great at being myself, but I can also do a stupid silly job of being another great celebrity... catch that?" She delivered some WTF quotes too: "keeping your lip-sync straight, your choreography gay, and your characterization bicurious", "I'm like Gandhi", "I'm the Joan of Arc of this challenge, I'm the martyr to Breastworld", "if you pee clear cheer", the "winning" sport response, and confusing seminary school with semen. And she struggled to form a coherent sentence in the Werk Room. Aquaria was off-putting at times. Like acting unbothered to Cracker's face after sharing the yellow dress story. Acting nasty towards the Vixen for interjecting. And her whole anti-Double Shantay rant because it was unfair to HER (lol at her minimizing the double splits though). Aquaria was portrayed as overconfident, and only caring about her own success. Asia called her unsportsmanlike at one point. But Aquaria made an effort to change after everyone confronted her in episode 3 Untucked. She took the last claimed role for "Breastworld". She had this respecting elders moment. She apologized for the Double Shantay rant. And she was sweet to Asia at the final 4 judging. In the competition: Aquaria delivered unique runways all season - the giant nose rings, the bleeding arrows, the bunny ears, the oil slick mermaid, the glittery angel, and her 3 Ball looks. Her final 4 dress was great too. But Aquaria wasn't just a fashion queen. She stole the scene on the losing team in PharmaRusical. She was underrated as the rival baby in Bossy Rossy. She kept delivering jokes as Melania Trump in Snatch Game. She was a believable robot in "Breastworld". And her Evil Twin sounded evil. Plus she was fierce in the "If" lip sync (from what we saw). The Make Over was the only challenge that Aquaria flopped imo. And Silver Foxy was the only other runway that was a miss, because it didn't match the theme. 2. Asia O'Hara The other narrator of Season 10. Asia's confessionals offered insightful observations on the other queens. She had some funny ones too: ie."And I'm not gonna be no part of it, my teeth were too expensive *smiles*"; "SHE DON'T KNOW THE WORDS"; "I'm not done *puts down drink*". Asia was the mom of the cast, but a brutally honest kind of mom. She clocked Aquaria's anti-Double Shantay rant. She called out Eureka for hounding Kameron to sing. And she had that meaningful conversation with the Vixen. Asia always spoke with this determined conviction. Which sounded harsh when she wasn't "wowed" by Mayhem or when she told the judges that Cracker wasn't a star. At least she apologized for the latter. But lol at her random rants - claiming her team had the harder number, feeling used for helping everyone during the Ball, that her Cher role was set up to fail, that she couldn't get through to Kameron, and hating glitter. Still, Asia threw fun shade ("and your talent is in the bottom 2", "you need to take your make-up up an octave"). I loved her reactions, like during Monet's sponge dress delusions or when Ru slapped her. And she had a sweet moment with Aquaria at the final 4. Also lol at "Girl we don't do that no more ain't you seen the Help?" In the competition: Asia had her highs and lows. Her Drag on a Dime outfit was too much, but she was a stand-out on the losing team in PharmaRusical, and she won the Butterface advert by making faces. But then her first two Ball looks weren't flattering, she was oblivious to the Vixen's cues in Bossy Rossy, she played a hostile Beyonce in Snatch Game, and she forgot her lines in the Cher Rusical. Fortunately Asia recovered in the endgame - playing "Parah Salin" in "Breastworld" and slaying the last two design challenges. She had some of my favourite runways too - the Tweety bird, dandelion, mermaid mask and the glitter clown. But then dead butterflies happened... 1. Mo(nique) Heart The bug eyes. The cartoonish laugh. The screaming whenever shade was thrown. The head/hand movements and voice shifts in confessional to give emphasis to everything. The odd confessionals: "She is gonna give you the ooh ah ah sensation honey", "the kind of trade that will throw you on the wall and you be like 'ohh I think I'm into it'", "America, my face is saying everything you need to know dot com", "Miss Aquafina", "Vixen handed Aquaria her ass in a gift bag gift wrapped there you go Merry Christmas", "RuPaul... thank you... but AHHHH", "I surely picked up them little chicken nuggets honey; dipping sauce; hot mustard", plus her reaction to Monet's English accent thing. She'd often address her confessionals to America too. She mistook giraffe print for brown cow. And she always spoke her mind on Untucked. I agreed with her on Mayhem needing to speak up, and it being fair to say Vixen should go home. Her suspicions of Mayhem throwing her under the bus were correct too! Her "pray the gay away" coming out story was memorable too. In the competition: I'm shocked at Mo having ONE high placement (for the wig snatching in Bossy Rossy). Her Drag on a Dime playing cards outfit was the best. She was funny in the Fibstr advert. She was only bottom 3 in PharmaRusical by default. And she was the funniest in the Drag Con panel. I'm not shocked at Mo's Ball outfits being basic though. She made all her outfits in the Werk Room due to lack of money. Her hats runway was also rough, but I liked the Cookie Monster one. Ultimately, Mo didn't have much depth as Maxine Waters in Snatch Game ("reclaiming my time!") and broke character. And then she forgot the words to the lip sync and took her wig off. Favourite entrance look: Aquaria Challenge ranking: 1. The Last Ball on Earth 2. Snatch Game 3. Drag on a Dime (Design) 4. The Bossy Rossy Show (Improv) 5. "American" Ru-mix (Asia > Aquaria > Kameron > Eureka) 6. Dating App Adverts 7. Drag Con Panel (Branding) 8. Cher: The Unauthorized Rusical 9. Social media kings Make Over 10. PharmaRusical 11. "Breastworld" (Acting) 12. Evil Twins Lip Sync ranking: 1. Monét X Change vs Dusty Ray Bottoms ("Pound The Alarm") 2. Mayhem Miller vs Yuhua Hamasaki ("Celebrity Skin") 3. Eureka vs Kameron Michaels ("New Attitude") (Kameron won this btw) 4. Kameron Michaels vs Monét X Change ("Good As Hell") (should've been the double shantay) 5. Blair St. Clair vs The Vixen ("I'm Coming Out") 6. Kalorie Karbdashian-Williams vs Vanessa Vanjie Mateo ("Ain't No Other Man") 7. Asia O'Hara vs The Vixen ("Groove Is In The Heart") 8. Mayhem Miller vs Monét X Change ("Man! I Feel Like a Woman") (I'd like this more if Monet left her outfit and wig on) 9. Aquaria vs Eureka ("If") 10. Eureka vs Kalorie Karbdashian-Williams ("Best Of My Love") 11. Aquaria vs Eureka vs Kameron Michaels ("Bang Bang") (so chaotic) 12. Top 4 Lip Sync ("Call Me Mother") 13. Kameron Michaels vs Miz Cracker ("Nasty Girl") (I remember nothing about it) 14. Mo(nique) Heart vs The Vixen ("Cut To The Feeling") (second-hand embarrassment part 1) 15. Asia O'Hara vs Kameron Michaels ("Nasty") (second-hand embarrassment part 2) Season ranking so far: 9 > 5 > 6 > AS2 > 4 > 10 > 2 > 7 > AS3 > 3 > 8 > 1 > AS1

Backwoods: 2. Bouncin' Around

Nobody really knew when they were born. Splinter had always known his age given the biological qualities of a rat and a person in comparison. Whatever age the boys were was all a guess. They were barely crawling upon mutation; he assumed they were barely a year by human age standards and guessed as they went through developmental milestones. The only way they could determine a birthday was by calculating when red eared slider turtles would hatch after the breeding season. Henceforth, the family would just celebrate their birth on the first day of June because babies of their breed would hatch in the early summer. It wasn’t approximate but it was a time for them to collectively celebrate their new coming of age. 

The sun was out and peeking through the cracks of the sewer. Usually at least one of them would be up in the early hour given that their prime time had become the night when they would work, but they truly listened to the NYPD’s wishes to enjoy their time off from work and indulge themselves for the day. This time, the two usual cerulean-banded sliders were sound asleep in their own rooms. However, sleeping in was a disgrace in one’s eyes, especially since he was well known in this field of irritation and annoyance. The orange banded turtle woke up with a passion as he turned on the faucet water to wash his hands.

“I can’t believe they still sleepin’ when they know our birthday is today.” He mumbled to himself, turning off the water. “I got something for them though.” He huffed. From the kitchen, he grabbed a metal pot and ravaged the drawers for a wooden spoon. With each in hand, he set off for the main hallway. How they arranged their rooms was different this time around as they continued to update their home for the ever-growing children. On the opposite side of Splinter’s quarters, the rowdy bunch were stashed in separate rooms within a T-shape hall. No longer were they in open rooms or up in their circular, lifted quarters, but now a garage door gave them the privacy they wanted when they needed it, much like their old bathroom. They were grown enough for it anyways. However, they normally kept it cracked open up to their calves so that the family could alert them if there was an emergency, but Mikey had a different use to go through. Leonardo was in the first room down on the left side, so his door was opened up first. Every loud, creaking industrial noise a garage can make while being violently pushed up as produced. Michelangelo had no intentions to be quiet at all as he went through and opened up  next. With his door lifted up, Mikey began to scream and bang the spoon on the pot. “Ey! Ey! EY! Wake up! Get up! Get up! Get-Up!” He screamed, then he made a break for the other side of the hall to open up the rest of their doors. “Get up! Get-Up! I ain’t get no sleep so you ain’t gonna get none either!” The last room was Mona’s and he entered hers since Raphael’s large body was missing from his bed when he went into his room. Without fear, he approached her bed and banged loud against the head of his sleeping brother. Due to the size of the mattresses and how they’re able to sleep on them in the first place, his body engulfed hers as his arm pinned her down in slumber. It was actually pretty comfortable for the both of them despite how large he was compared to her. He cracked an eye open to look up. Mona sounded disgusted and tried to hide underneath his body. “Get up! Get up! Get-up-get-up-get-up-get-up-get-up!” Gaining a response, the orange banded terrapin stopped briefly.

“Bro, I know you lying.” Raphael groaned under his forearm.

“Ya’ll just nasty.” their brother replied in disgust.

“I fell asleep.” Raphael defended why he wasn’t in his room for the night. The young turtle ignored him as he jumped over the bed. His foot touched down on the mattress, shifting the two sleepers to that side and growing even more mad than before. No permission, he opened up her drawers and began digging.

“Guess what I got for yall….” From them, he pulled out the recognizable pink garments she wore on a nightly basis. “Clothes! Get up!” He threw the two-piece at the two in a ball. The young turtle sprinted out the room and began doing the same thing to everyone else. “This is what you wearing.” To not waste time, he only threw shorts or pants (whichever was easier to find, he just wanted them to get dressed) at his remaining two brothers and sister.  “This is what you wearing.” He came back in Mona’s room. Raphael was sitting at the edge of the bed, handing Mona her stuff although she’d rather throw her blanket up over her head. “I got something for you too.” Mikey pointed at his brother from the entrance. Then, he threw a pair of his black shorts at him before disappearing again. “Come on, and wake up!”

“I wanted to sleep in. That was my dream for my 18th.” Donnie muttered to himself. His upper body slouched over till his elbows hit his knees. Sitting at the edge of the bed and contemplating why he was listening to Michelangelo in the first place kept him there wondering how long he would choose to sit there till he got up. I mean, dude’s tired. Why don’t we not get up and just sit here like this. This is fine.

“Wellllll MLK,” Mikey stuck his head out from under the doorway. “that don’t fit into mine! C’mon! Get up! Angel finna be here to turn up so get up.” The turtle scooted to his room to do whatever else he could to make the morning more obnoxious. Before he disappeared, he gave a little hip swinging dance with his arms above his head and swung them abruptly. “My best friend finna- get up right now!”

Leonardo got up first (surprise, surprise).  He hopped off the steps from the hallway and towards the kitchen.

“Sensei!” He called. Dad!” A little louder. Nothing came back. Not a word or a subtle appearance.

“Ah, he left to go shoppin’.” He jumped when Michelangelo grabbed his shoulder and hung off of his older brother. His weight pushed him forward into a stumble.

“Getting stuff for us? I’d hate for him to go alone and carrying stuff around.” As he should. Aside from being a mutant, sensei was getting up in his years every year. Yes, he could definitely take on his sons easily (less as time goes on), but a son worries about his father just as much as the other way around.

“He got picked up by Casey. Don’t worry, Angel came too so they’ll have some muscle.” He winked and gave him a knowing click of the tongue before pushing down on his shoulder to jump off of him. The eldest brother smirked and followed the family into the kitchen.

Donnie and Venus were promptly joined by Michelangelo at the table. When Leonardo walked in, Mona Lisa sat atop the counter as she watched Raphael open up the kitchen cabinet.

“We did it boys.” Raphael spoke loudly which startled the crowd. 

“Huh?” Donnie placed one earbud over his ears to dampen his tone. The rebel turtle closed the cabinet he was getting into and pulled out a new box of Lucky Charms.

“We actually lived for another year.”  He pulled out a bowl and poured over half of it inside. He was a growing boy afterall.

“For real, the stuff we be doing I’m surprised myself.” Mona nodded in agreement, then took the box and grabbed a handful of the cereal before stuffing herself. Raphael began to list as he ventured over to the fridge:

“Guns, thugs, poison gas, evil magicians-.”

“ alien invasions, manhunts, robots, and potential health concerns…” Venus finished before getting a collection of confused stares. “Don’t tell me he doesn’t eat too much pizza.” She pointed directly to Michelangelo. The turtle felt attacked as he gasped softly while clutching his chest. However, the air hung for only so long until the family agreed.

“You right.” They agreed in differed responses.

“Speaking of….!” He sang. In no time he tiptoed away with his back arch backwards slightly. “I’m gonna go dial the place to serve the ‘death of me’.” The young turtle picked up his phone and began dialing but not before sticking his tongue out at his so-called “family”.

“I’m gonna use the livingroom to meditate for a sec. That alright?” Leonardo asked as he got to fixing himself a kettle of tea.

“Sure, go for it.”

“I was gonna back back for a nap anyways.” At the end of his sentence, Raphael yawned. His hands went over his face and rubbed his brows up and down, avoiding to keep his nose out of his bowl.

“Me too.” Mona added. Michelangelo yelled: “Ya nasties!” much to their dismay. 

The clan began to disperse. The lovebirds returned to Mona’s (with that unfinished cereal), the besties kept in the kitchen, Mikey was still on the phone with the pizza people (which is crazy since they’re open in the morning anyways), and Leo took himself to the living room. The rushing water from the slide was always loud but it had noise-blocking capabilities from the family’s shenanigans as Splinter discovered. The match cackled as he lit it up and placed the flame on a few select candles. It would take time for the aroma to even make a hint of its appearance due to both water and sewer smells, but that was not their job anyways. It was all for the mood. Splinter had so many candles because he would often stare into them to reach his point of relaxation. The movement of the flame entertained him and slowed down his body functions into a state of relaxation. For now, Leonardo used it as mild stimulation as listening to subtle, environmental sounds kept him in a spiritual state.

He kneeled down on the rug that sat at the epicenter of the arrangement of candles. His legs intertwined with one another as he sat down. To start himself off, he began with deep breathing. The first held breath refreshed him as he exhaled. Inhale, exhale. His system began to slow down and his focus sharpened.

“Lucali! Yeah, I wanna whole pie plus the calzone.” Leonardo’s body twitched. His right eye cracked open and began to search around. Far out of his eyesight, Michelangelo was on his shell-cell.

“Lemme tell ya, how ‘bout you put all the toppings on.” The eldest brother shook his head, closed his eye, and tried to tone his young brother out. “Nah fam, for real, put everything on it. I swear, it finna be good.”

“Mikey.” Leonardo muttered to catch his attention.

“And no anchovies, and I mean no anchovies! You tryna be funny and put anchovies on it and I’m deeming you dead to me.” Suddenly, a tall candlestick holder was hurdled towards the orange banded turtle. He shrieked as the holder smacked him on the arm.

“Michelangelo!” Leonardo’s voice echoed throughout the entire lair, making everything stop and stare. Mikey kept the phone to his ear as he locked shocked eyes with his eldest brother.

“That’ll do.” He continued in a shaky voice before hanging up the phone.

“Please!” Leonardo pleaded. Mikey surrendered and began to back off.

“Yeah, yeah. Do your thing. I’ll join you in a bit, how dow dah?” 

“Huh?” but before he could get an answer, Mikey had already high tailed out of the room. His answered confused him, but he needn’t dwell on it too long. Time to take advantage of the silence. Inhale, exhale. Multiple times needed to bring back that refreshed feeling. Inhale, hold, exhale.

“Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin', Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin'

Scrunchin' their eyes with your name in their mouth and Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin'...” From the moment the music started, Leonardo’s trance was fatally interrupted by the booming of the speakers. His eyes locked onto the weird sight in front of him. Michelangelo was not not alone as he and Donatello danced vivaciously to ‘Lemon’, taking no care to Leo’s previous demands.

“Do y'all not see me trying to meditate?” He asked rudely, but with good purpose.

“This is like meditating!” Mikey mocked.

“It’s our birthday,” Donnie insisted. “get off your high horse and get over here!” The eldest turtle grouched, sinking into himself. He let out a big groan. Then, he got up and joined them.

Earth’s Mightiest Heroes thoughts (season 2, episodes 1 - 5):  

- Where’d the theme song go?! Talk about a downgrade. And then on top of that they don’t even mention Jan, T’Challa, Clint, or Hank? Boooo, hiss, boooo.

- I dig Hulk and Thing’s rivalry they have going on.

- In petty thoughts, Reed ignoring Tony’s babbling sure was a mood, especially when he was on his “it’s not magic, it’s science” harangue.

- “The Avengers put people at risk.” Yeah, sure, them and not the supervillains. Yep. uh-huh, totally. Sorry, I didn’t buy it coming out of Ross and Vision, I’m sure as hell not buying coming out of Maria. Though at least in this universe registration doesn’t seem like just a smokescreen to take away people’s human and civil rights. ...not yet, anyway.

- Man, I miss Steve. :-(

- “What is it, Danvers? I have a computer to shoot.” Ahahaha! I like Abigail.

- “My name is Ms. Marvel and I’m here to welcome you to Earth. Now go home.” CAROOOOOOL!!!

- I hope we see more of Carol and Abigail together, because they make a really good team.

 - BABYGIRL

- THE BOY! HE’S HERE!

- And Scotty pulled no punches with Cross here. That shit was terrifying. But that’s what you get for threatening his baby.

- “Aaand he’s gone.” “Alright, for real, we’re never telling anyone about that. Ever.” “Agreed.” “He caught me off guard, I’m just sayin’.” “Sure, he did, Luke.” Bahahaha! I guess that’s just a Scott rite of passage across the multiverse.

- “Yeah, we’re the Avengers. I’m Captain America. My friend in the pajamas is Thor. Now how about you back off the girl before we avenge you upside the head?” *cackles* Luke is great.

- Also, Jan, sweetie, honey, my love, just let Hank go. Like, seriously, he’s never seemed too keen to be either an Avenger or in a relationship, so I don’t get why she keeps banging her head against that wall.
