#wow each ep is just making me adore him even more

[jeonsupershy]

the more i see nana tour, the more i realise that wonwoo's love for his members is so soft yet so loud. he's the kind of person who quietly showers people with affection, but it's like he's shouting it from the rooftops in his own special way. it's just so sweet and endearing🥺

[lynn-tged-posting]

tged webtoon ep 163 spoilers and thoughts that are making me procrastinate on like all of my work but its totally fine below the cut

.

.

.

i am so serious i was completely tricked into thinking this would just be a light episode with some ominous foreshadowing but still some answers for how to defeat fate. i thought we'd be in silly haha territory now and that soon we'd reach the end and everything would be wonderful now and they can finally have what they want. I WAS PROVEN WRONG

YOU. YOU TRICKED ME FROM THE GETGO BY SETTING THE MOOD OF THE EP TO BE SILLY OFF THE BAT. YOUR STUPID CUTE HAIR BEING MESSY WHEN U WAKE UP AND THOSE SILLY ASS D*SNEY ANIMALS. YOU YOU YOU YOU RAPHAEL YOU FOOLED ME

it's super cute and funny that his singing and his general demeanor is so fairytale esque that animals and people just love him even though he tried to destroy what they were working on . he looks adorable with messy hair. i wanna see it more. cute and blond. but also. FUCK YOU

like we went from that to this and i was like "oh my god they're gonna have a bonding moment" and i was so so happy i just,, i really thought,,,,

like he looks so pretty here!! and then javier says something so sweet and so javier-brand of affectionate and they're being funny about it and it's so cute and they're all smiley afterward in the reflections of the water so its like "awww stupid fucking idiots being happy at each other without even really knowing it i love them so much" AND THEN.

STUPID FUCKING OMINOUS REFLECTION GOT ME ALL WORRIED. BUT THEN I THOUGHT OF RAPHIE AT THE START AND WENT "nahhh thats just. yknow. the normal foreshadowing at something bigger. they haven't even gotten answers yet. it's fine" oh lynn. oh girl you had no idea.

like they're so close to the truth cmon they wouldnt dump what they need to do to stop fate AND whats going on w javier at the same time right? ha. ha. ha.

ominous panels aside POOR LLOYD,,, OF ALL THE SECRETS HE COULD HAVE CHOSEN,,, he had no idea its not fair </3 we got blushy lloyd as a result i love this panel btw he's very very cute. super duper bug of him. i really like that the artist has been drawing the two of them at this angle a lot recently they look so stupid i like it a lot

ALSO JAVIER DO YOU. HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY. WHY DID HE ASK THAT I. JAVIER U CANT JUST ASK PEOPLE HOW DEE- WHAT THE FUCK

and then we got hit w javier being worried and i was like "man me too buddy, im worried too but im sure itll be oka-"

DEATH FLAG. WHY. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO THINK THAT LLOYD OH GOD. i read this and my worry that was briefly washed away IMMEDIATELY came back . tged is very good at giving me tonal whiplash. i dont think thats a bad thing but also its not good for my health either so. /lh

AND THEN WE GOT HIT WITH THE JEWEL OF TRUTH SECTION AND. AAAAHHH AAAAAAAAHHH the darkness that lloyd is in, he's all alone when he hears this god i . oh god i have so much to say okay

it's kind of hard to go shot by shot with this section because all my thoughts are overlapping with each other but ill try my best???

he's immediately pushed into communication between just him and the jewel and shrouded in a very very isolating darkness. there's so so so much empty space and all my yapping about how much lloyd has been isolating himself for the sake of finally protecting his loved ones kind of comes to a head here. and then we hear the truth...

lloyd is a BUG. the fact that he EXISTS is a problem that has been the catalyst of all the pain and work that he and javier have had to go through, so so early in the story. he's essentially being told that its HIS fault fate is threatening their lives. AND WOW THAT HURTS. how do you cope with being told that?? how do you manage that???

and on TOP of it all, in order to fix it, he has to choose. rid the world of this bug, or let the bug take over. THAT'S SO EVIL

the only way to protect his loved ones is to forfeit his protection over them, giving up his life. and yet the only way for him to continue being there to protect them is to lose the life of the one he absolutely loves most, javier. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT

the moment he hears this he falls to his knees. im so fucking ill IM SICK . THIS IS SICK AND TWISTED!!!!!!!!!!!

some more thoughts on the language and just. inherent despair of this section:

i think the choice of calling lloyd a bug is so so so heartwrenching. i don't know if it's an intentional thing by the writer/adapter or if it's just something they defaulted to since the world is considered a system, but either way it makes me so damn emotional

i'm a computer engineer, so i take some computer science classes too as part of my major, and one of those fun facts that you learn in those classes is that debugging/bugs became common terminology in compsci for a very silly reason. "bugs" as a word to describe error and defects had been present before, but it became conflated with programming due to a team of programmers actually finding a moth, a true to life Bug, interfering with their computer and thus messing with their program.

see, the JoT could have called lloyd anything. an error, a mistake, a problem, hell even a glitch would have worked. but they specifically said bug (and again whether or not thats intentional is up for debate but i will treat it like it is)

and the thing about bugs, the thing that haunts me now, is that without them the rest of the program (theoretically) works fine. if that moth hadnt entered the computer of those programmers, then their code would have been operating smoothly. the system would be chugging along well.

the knight of blood and iron would be functioning just fine.

yeah it'd be sad, yeah javier would have lost everyone, but it would have gone exactly as the program was written. the memory allocated for the class lloyd_frontera would be freed, and the story wouldn't have had to call on it, ever. but lloyd, the bug, the moth, stuck around. errors ensue.

and often, bugs are HUMAN error. it's a problem in a human design, not a natural glitch or mistake. the moth wouldn't have been able to enter that computer if it was built differently. bugs do not appear naturally. and they do not go away until you go back to where the bug appears and FIX IT. lloyd cannot fix the story, he can NEVER achieve the happy ending he's always wanted, because the program will always be bugged because of HIM.

suddenly too, all the little changes that have happened in the story thus far make so much sense. all of those events happening EARLIER than they should have completely tracks.

the choices lloyd made - to defeat neumann, defeat lacona, go to cremo, go to the capital - pushed javier's presence ahead, and i know that's like really really obvious, but coupled with this bug analogy i feel insane because

something that's very common in programming in general are function calls, where on the side you have the function written out all complete, and in your main code you can just say the name of the function. when it compiles, itll know what to refer to when it sees the name in your main code.

something else thats very common is conditionals! y'know, your classic "if (comparison here) then do (this thing here) else (do this thing here)", you might have seen this before (or not, im not sure how well versed tged tumblr is on programming which is why im explaining this)

and u think back to javier being there EARLY and oh. ooohh....

if (javier.location == magentano.event_location(banquet)) {

kyle_betrayal(alicia);

}

this function, this betrayal, was called early. THIS WAS CALLED EARLY because a certain character object, lloyd frontera, changed the state of javier's location way sooner than it should have happened. a bug. a bug. a bug. a bug made the code jump to this conditional. he's been a bug this whole time

and you think to when the glitches on javier first started appearing and oh. oooohhh. the object referred to as javier, disabled the "protagonist" variable on him and passed it onto lloyd. but that won't do, because all these functions for the ENTIRE STORY rely on javier's class object. how can it call on lloyd instead? lloyd should have been freed, aka the memory storing his little array of data, should have been REMOVED. CAUSE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE

theres more examples of this throughout the whole story that maybe ill list another day (as much as im yapping about it, its really not that hard/deep on figuring out where things were called early lol) but yeah yeah yeah. yeah this is so so evil and i cant believe i didnt put two and two together earlier. this analogy is SO EVIL WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS TO ME

apologies for the jargon btw. i have no idea if i explained this right or if anyone else really knows what im talking about but i've been losing it over this for the entire weekend ALKDFJLSDKF

WHATS WORSE IS THAT IVE BEEN CALLING LLOYD A BUG FOR LIKE. ACTUAL MONTHS. I WOULD REFER TO HIM AS A CREATURE AND AS A LITTLE ITTY BITTY BUG AND NOW I FEEL SO SO TERRIBLE BECAUSE HE REALLY WAS A BUG. I MADE A SHITPOST AND EVERYTHING (that ill prolly post later) THAT I HAD NO IDEA WOULD. AGE POORLY SOB SOB SOB

I AM SO SO SORRY LLOYD. I DIDN'T KNOW I DIDN'T KNOW I DIDN'T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sniffle,,, sob,,, anyway,,, thats enough yapping about bugs and programming and lloyd being a bug,,, back to the anguish

the following section is just. god ow ow OW. the shaking linework, the shadows setting in at the top with the dramatic bottom lighting, and the blur on javier as he loses focus and starts truly, truly panicking makes me INSANE. artist you're making me CRAZY!!!

javier truly has no idea either but god dammit he's trying his best to help, but how can lloyd explain this to the man whos completely and utterly loyal to him to the point of sincere devotion? if lloyd tells him, whos to say that javier - the martyr that he is - won't just give up his life for him? god that's so... GOD. GOD GOD GOD WHY AGHHH

AND AGGHHH AGGGHHHH THE FLASHBACKS TO THE P PANELS OF SUHO WORKING SO SO HARD TO REACH THE LIGHT. GOD FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK

ITS DIMMER ITS HARDER TO REACH AND OH MY GOD THE PANEL OF LLOYD REACHING UP EVEN IN HIS PANIC TOWARDS HOPE. THE THOUGHT THAT "ITLL GET BETTER ONE DAY" COMFORTED HIM AND KEPT HIM ALIVE BUT NOW ITS BEING RIPPED FROM HIM I FEEL ILL. EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL

this panel of that light going out . not much words on this i just feel sick to my stomach. why would u do that.

and finally at the end of the chapter we have this incredibly HAUNTING panel of lloyd panicking. the despair here is UNREAL. the lineart is shaken and messy and scribbly, and the focus on his face and his hand gives the panel a very claustrophobic and hard-to-breathe feel and it makes mE SICK!!! IT MAKES ME SICK!!! SICK AND TWISTED!!!! JEWEL OF TRUTH I HATE YOU!!!!!!!

anyway that's all my thoughts for right now . i really really hope they figure out a loophole or something . if they dont im actually gonna keel over and die /j not literally but yknow what i mean

SICK AND TWISTED!!! is my final word on this ep

thanks for joining me in hell ill see yall next week salute emoji

Ep. 16: The Happily Ever After

Hello! =D

I can't believe this is my last We Are post wow- It feels like just yesterday I was here typing out my first one because I had one too many Thoughts about it. Anyways, not to get too sentimental on main, here you go:

Warning: not a very long post, actually 😊😅

The result of long-term exposure to his boyfriend and his extreme levels of cheesiness hehe

Seriously though, I love how Fang is slowly but surely opening up to loud gestures of love (I think previously, he just wasn't used to loving loudly, he was used to loving with his whole heart but keeping it to himself because he never felt safe enough to express it).

I love how they're from absolutely different faculties and are still studying together like yess go besties who are in love with each other but are too oblivious to realise it!

Peem with Phum usually: *swats at Phum at the slightest sign of PDA even though he really enjoys it*

Peem when others say something about their relationship: So, Phum, what do you say, want me to kiss you senseless right here right now?

(And we all know what Phum's answer is gonna be hehe)

Hasn't even been two minutes in the room and they're already breaking into the bed 😭😭

(I really love this scene btw, the simple fun of it, and even though it's not sensual, it's intimate and very them.)

This pair of besties is gonna kill me istg

They keep hitting me with banger after banger of emotional lines and my heart is already weak don't do this to me 😭😭

Frankly though, I like this scene very much, the "I loved you no matter who i knew you as" and "I have always loved you" of it all really got to me.

Poor Tan 😭

That's why you never brag about something before it gets over Tan-

I love how Fang not only lets him lie on his lap but also scratches his hair hehe

And how Peem doesn't hesitate one bit to give Tan a good smack upside the head 😭

AND THE SCENE WITH TAN "ACCIDENTALLY" LETTING OUT THAT CHAIN HAS A CRUSH ON PUN AND PUN STILL BEING SO DAMN OBLIVIOUS I'M DYING 😭😂😭

I adore this scene a ridiculous amount, but I love even more that it was Phum who planned it like yess he's been wingman-ing his phi and friend since Day 1 and he never stopped.

Others have gaydars, PhumPeem have faen-dars: they know when their faen is looking at them or coming towards them.

Not a bad power to have, honestly. I approve.

THIS SCENE.

THE FRIENDSHIP. THE PAST, PRESENT AND THE FUTURE OF IT.

THE OG 5 (note how Peem is sitting at the centre? It's indicative of how he's the centre of the group and if I had to make an educational guess, probably the reason why they're all together in the first place).

This made me cry.

I have nothing else to say about this except this is one of the best damn shots of this show, which is saying something cause the cinemtaography up till this has been ridiculously good.

Of course. <33

And I'll be writing about how they spill the tea about their respective faens

😳

Tan: *tries to be slow and sexy*

Fang: no. We're doing this now.

Honestly though, this kiss was amazing, as were all their other kisses. Hats off to AouBoom, they absolutely slayed.

Et tu, Toey? T~T

Also another very nice scene.

I knew where this was going (how could anyone not after all those 15 eps) and I think Phum would have definitely gone over to sit on Peem's lap (@Peach thank you for that mental image btw 😭) if not for the structural instability of boats on land (I did sit on once with and trust me, those things maybe super sturdy or whatever in water, but they do NOT belong on land, especially not on the beach).

I-

I'll be right there in the corner sobbing my eyes out if you need me.

The way he kept saying his name, like he was actually tasting it, trying out all the different tones, and the way Phum kept replying, all smiles and soft voice, I-

I can't with these two. They're too damn much for my poor heart.

This also inspired another smut fic but SHUSH

No, nope, not doing this-

SIGH.

Okay, so see how Phum says "Thank you for being a good story in my life?" For Phum, having Peem in his life really does feel like a story, something out of the books he read (headcanon) and something too good to be true. But he's starting to realize that this is true, that Peem is here to stay.

Peem says "Thank you for letting me step into your life" because he knows all the issues Phum has, that it's hard for him to really let people in. But he let Peem in to love him, and Peem is grateful because it gave him someone to love and be the comfort zone for, but also gave him someone who loved him.

In this essay, I will-

BROTHERS-IN-LAW.

Also, no kidding, I got a mental image of Fang and Peem sitting and sipping at their drinks while Phum and Tan argue and compete like children, and when they go too far, Fang and Peem let out this long suffering sigh while they try to pull apart their husbands.

Did I say husbands? Oops-

HEHEHE

I didn't see you denying anything, Fang~

got another fic idea but we don't talk about those

🥺🥺🫶🏼

Okay, about that dinner scene. I actually kinda liked it. The awkwardness of it, the halted conversation, the prompted actions. As with the rest of the series, they kept it real, and I'm glad for it.

A lot of BLs, especially Thai BLs forgive the parents too soon too fast, and I really like they did not do that here.

Phum just (sorta) started on this path of being on talking terms with his dad (not forgiveness, or forgetting what he's done, mind you) and I'm going to be carefully neutral about it. If Phum likes it, well and good. If the father does something Phum doesn't like well *looks at two of my wips specifically* I always keep back-ups.

Peem is never letting that go hehe

(I don't think Phum minds all that much now, because he did end up with Peem, fuck you Kluen)

Also I'm two eps behind on Wandee Goodday and I hear Title finally got a nice boyfriend role? Good for him!

FOREHEAD KISS MY BELOVED.

(...should I change my header again? Nah, I'm happy with what it is rn)

I love how even if it was never explicitly shown beyond Tan, literally everyone and their pets know about Chain and Pun except Chain and Pun 😭😭👍🏼

We Are probably has the most kisses out of all the BLs I've watched and somehow the very last kiss gets the Best Kiss award. Surprising, but well-deserved. The kissed like they were dying and Chain tried to climb Pun like a tree, and I was gleefully watching and cheering them on.

You're covering his eyes, when you've literally made out with him naked, that's some hypocrisy there, Q *raises eyebrows*

One word: roses.

(Did Peem ever tell him? Did Phum figure it out? Does Phum give him roses for every single occasion now? Hm... guess we'll never know... Fic writers, this is your cue-)

'HAPPY' has it's special place 🥺🥺

I now know for sure that the simplicity and boldness of this painting was absolutely on purpose. The other paintings in the gallery are stunning.

Friends. <33

Also, due to Tumblr's restrictions, I couldn't add the last pic, but Peem's/Phuwin's face looks hilarious in the very last shot 😭😂

That's all! See you ne- oh, right. Well, see you the next time I get brainrot so bad about a BL I have to write smut about it hehe.

If you got this far, thank you so much for reading! 😊

Here, have 🍛 (imagine it's your favourite dish)

All my We Are posts.

[book--wyrm]

Pengu Finale Liveblog ahhhhhh

Julian just absolutely brain blasting this old woman

Oh Rex is close enough to call her doll and make her breakfast he is not beating the deadbeat daddy allegation

OH NO DOES SHE KNOW OH MY GOD SHE KNOWS

NEVERMIND I WAS SO WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING SHE HAS KNOWN ALL ALONG

holy shit holy shit holy shit

okay so they did find the bodies eventually holy fuck hooooooly fuck

oh my god rex literally teaching francis how to manipulate oz and use him oh my god ohhhhh my god this is so much more of a betrayal than if francis had just hated him for what he'd done

she knew all along she knew all along and she used him and she

she

oz was right ahahahahah every relationship in his life is fuckign transactional because he KILLED THE ONLY TWO BOYS WHO TRULY LOVED HIM, AND KILLED HIS MOTHER'S LOVE WITH THEM

dude he has to kill his mother now

this is a psychological nuke the likes of which i think sofia could not possibly have ever imagined.

Francis's FACE oh my god.

Julian baby boy maybe Sofia should stand out of sight to not break immersion

God this is absolutely not how hypnotism works is it

IT'LL BE EASIER NOW YOU LITTLE PSYCHO

"I see you in ways other people don't" while she is ACTIVELY USING HIM

dude. dude. I just. It's always the same with Oz, isn't it. Sofia, Eve, his mom. He's the biggest bullshitter in Gotham, and he's so full of it he doesn't have a clue how to sniff it out

God they are both so horrific to each other. Just his horrible cycle of selfishness and toxicity what a twisted family they are

HELLO VIC I MISSED YOU

Oh rip lmao I guess the gangs know the bliss is all gone

Vic baby he's saying all the same stuff oz does, only he believes it, so he can't bullshit people to his side

Oh hey that dude on the other side of the walkie talkie lived!!

Man Oz and Sofia haven't been face to face since ep 4 hahahaha

BERTO MENTION. she hasn't used that name in a hot second

Oh my god Sofia literally using that bird nest metaphor ahahahh whoever that anon was in my inbox you are a genius

Man. Sofia literally just laying out all their horrible family drama in the worlds worst family therapy oh my god

Dude I've been saying for weeks now that Sofia's superpower is to completely shatter people with the truth and. ohhhhhh my god ohhhhhh my god ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Wait. Is Sofia going to give that cigar cutter in her cleavage to Francis to use on Oz. I think she should give it to her.

Uh. Nevermind

Wow Sofia really is leaning into this evil therapy thing what the fuck. girl.

God i desperately want her to be the girl-jonkler running the aslume at the end of this show please please please

Also Sofia, I think it was the left. I mean I'm sure she knows just so she can do the other one next, but. man. she is fuckin sadistic. im love....

Julian so enthusiastic about all of this hahaahah

I love Sofia like, almost framing this to them or possibly herself as a gift she is giving to Francis. Is this cope? Is this something she sincerely believes? Or is she just being cruel?

I ALREADY FUCKIN KNOW

It's my finger you spineless prick hahahaahha but that doesn't matter to him because its your love he wants it's your adoration your pride and what actually happens to you? Doesn't fucking matter.

I NEVER STOPPED HATING YOU

Sofia's face right then like. damn dude. god i love her

She had enough love for all of them and he soured every last drop of it. For them, for him, for the world.

Sofia really does know the value of just letting a drama play out.

Francis saying Sofia is right this ep, Sofia saying Francis was right last ep, damn.

Oz really is... the only character in this show chronically incapable of learning

Damn mama cobb strong enough to smash a bottle. I don't think even i could do that.

Oh my god no wonder she said "they look at me like i'm not even theirs" because in her mind, she let their murderer go free

also is oz gonna hulk out that she's showing love to an imaginary jack and benny when oz has just seen her hate?

Oh is she just dying right now

Julian doing the get down mr president

MR DETECTIVE YOU DIPSHIT

Sofia baby you did great okay you already hurt Oz please just go to italy with your boy toy

Wow is he not getting this fucking stab looked at

EW EW EW EW

Yeah sure sure. Sofia stabbed you. Sure. Sure.

Oh noooo. Vic... baby.... he is such a believer in Oz's stupid self serving bullshit. He is so good. And pure. And he speaks from the heart and. And Oz acts like this is something Vic rehearsed

And they laugh about it but Vic doesn't understand. He doesn't understand that Oz isn't giving him advice on how to most effectively show people the fire you hold in your heart—he's teaching him the art of smoke and mirrors. how to con and grift and bullshit until even you don't know what's true and real

Christ. Vic is so fucking dead

She'd never look at me again unless i get this done.

Oz knowing now that this love is transactional. And fine. He'll make that transaction, he'll take down sofia and then maybe his mom will pretend again that she doesn't hate him, doesn't want him dead

it's not going to work, of course. it can't because this show is about him becoming the penguin. and it can't, because even that transaction was always a lie Francis told herself

I don't think she could ever have loved Oz even if he'd gotten her into a penthouse at age 20. I think she lied to herself to survive living with him, because what was the alternative? Losing all three of her boys?

AHAHAHAHAHAH SOFIA LITERALLY PICKING UP OZ'S GOLD SUMMIT MEMBERS i have to say. I did not anticipate this at ALL

damn girlie really is just gonna dip to go to italy or wherever

sofia really is just setting up the funniest game of capture the flag imaginable while cramming like seven olives in her mouth

i dont' say this often. i desire her carnally.

The gun in the glove compartment surely that will not come back later

Oz originally checking his image in the reflection of the car vs asking Vic now, treating this kid as his reflection

Damn. Is Link really going to fall for Oz's shit again after that truck of cigs thing? Or is this just a ploy to get Oz into the right place for Sofia to pick him up?

Actually maybe that's what loses Vic, that Link betrayed him, and Oz expected it. Idk we shall see

Penguin planning to run for mayor in a couple movies?

Oh Oz is totally gonna send sofia to arkham ahahaha poor baby

Oh my god I thought Sofia was gonna claim credit for Sal's death, not that Oz would give it up himself

I cannot tell you guys how fucking tempting it is to skip right to the end of this episode to see if i'm right you guys

Wow Oz really eyeing that Mayor's office

Is he going to kill Bella and frame Sofia. Is he gonna kill bella and THAT is what turns Vic on him.

oh my god LINK

HAHAHAH I WAS SO RIGHT SHE IS BURNING DOWN FALCONE MANOR

oh god that's the watch Sofia gave him for his birthday FUCK YOU CARMINE

Sofia really is gonna fucking screw over EVERYONE hahaha THREE CIGS BABY

oh god she is so hot i love her you self actualize through arson baybeeeeeeee

that shot of her throwing the cig like a dart is so much oh my god

babygirl i love you

you deserve the world

but yeah she is going into the cold according to the needle drop. definitely going back to arkham

... what's in the trunk. i don't think it's normal luggage. is it more bombs

there is still 20 mins left. i am afraid

This is clearly a trap for someone i just don't know who. Where is vic

I'm so afraid this is the last we get to see of Sofia.

She knows. She always has such a nose for bullshit lmao. Also fuck you Link you gotta know Oz is gonna stab you in the back.

I do think it's promising that Julian has not been seen all day tho. What is he doing.

I love this. I love that Oz and Sofia finally get this one moment to be truly honest with each other.

Well. At the very least, Oz gets to be honest with Sofia. idk that he knows how to be honest with himself anymore.

Why does this look like a chemical factory. I know it's not happening but it'd be so funny for Sofia to become the joker right now.

just dunk her in the goop

Man. Is he actually going to shoot her. Police pls come and save my girl. Cannot believe that's what I'm begging for now.

oh my god

yeah i called it but. Man. This is so painful to watch. also i think my julian prayers are not going to be answered it did not look like Sofia had planned any of this

okay i'm normal about sofia being arrested now.

Okay. I'm normal.

I'm back to not being normal francis and vic and oz all in one place this is all gonna blow up emotionally

Is francis in a coma. is she totally brain dead oh my god.

oh man she really is never going to say she loves him hahaha

she let jack and benny's murderer go and it never got her anything

is he gonna kill her now.

TELL ME YOU'RE PROUD OF ME oz you fuckin

he's so fucking delusional jesus putting her hand on his head

dude. is Vic actually gonna live through this episode

holy fuck

did not call that in the least

well. i was right about the pyrrhic victory for Oz

"All kinds of things" shut the fuck up.

God. I cannot believe Vic is living through this show. Admittedly as the kind of guy that his parents would have been ashamed of, but.

Wait. No no

NOT THE BATSIGNAL

[holydrakes]

Me reading Soul Eater for the first time: these Maka and Soul kids are meant to be just friends right. So should I consider them to be like siblings or trainer and pokemon or hero and sidekick—

*Maka compares partner exchange with infidelity right in the first ep and Spirit is doing that future-father-in-law testing potential boyfriend thingy and Soul's reasoning for not liking maka for supposedly just having flat chest sounds unconvincing. Soul says cool guys don't cheat on their partners. Also isn't it kind of ship teasy that Maka and Soul are essentially like Maka's parents before, being a scythe weapon-meister pair that later tie the knot*

Me: Uhhh...okay. This makes me feel like this whole ep can make for a good romcom set up. But this is not that kinda show right? So this is just me—

*Maka and Soul apparrently live together. Maka gets irrationally angry at Blair whenever she flirts with Soul (does she have feelings for him or smth?) Soul would legit only let people touch Maka over his dead body, Soul and Maka ceremoniously got worried that that they've made each other worry, their biggest fight turned out to be them fighting over wanting to be the one wanting to protect the other? Soul resonance works in such a way that you literally become one with each other that you can even transfer blood? Sounds kinda kinky. They are such good roomies that Soul offers to be the one on cooking duty for days when Maka's hands got burnt*

Me: Well, okay. They'd make a cute ship of course. Their friendship is adorable but that's about it I guess—

*Episode 14 opens with a dream sequence that makes it look like the two are getting married. Soul has no problems serving Maka treats and tea in an apron like a good ol house husband. Maka gets really jealous that Soul would confide with the hot school nurse first about his dream instead of her and ends up wanting him to dance with her in hopes they can get closer...and in true obnoxious in-law fashion Spirit cockblocks the two. Turns out Maka had only been teasing Soul about supposedly not bringing him any food (that makes her feel even more like she's flirting with him the whole time)*

Me: Oh, well...it does lowkey feel like I'm watching a romcom over here now—but I know it's not—

*Soul and Maka share a slow a dance inside Soul's head. To a romantic jazz, wearing matching outfits, they can read each other's minds while they discuss about potentially endangering each other's sanity...for apparrently no reason*

Me: ....Ooookay, was that really necessary? That's a super creative and romantic way to play with the Mindlink Mates trope. Oh wow, me and who, me and who. Oh god, are these two still supposed to be just friends? It feels like I'm not watching a story about friendship anymore, this scene legit belongs in a romance story. So what is it doing here—

*They share that mind-space clad in the fancy outfits again. Soul touches Maka's face tenderly as he tries to get her to come back to her senses. He does that sweet and romantic 'teach bae how to play the piano' thingy by holding her hand gently...*

Me: these two are just friends...not a couple...but they look so damn like the latter...but—but—

*Maka suddenly, legitimately asks Soul to call her an angel specifically like how the resident lover boy often does to his lady love, Soul in an expression rarely seen from him, responds by blushing slightly. Later it was suggested that Soul was apparrently full of shit whenever he teased Maka for her lack of curves making her supposedly unattractive to him (Ha! Called it!) Maka baby don't you think you're a little too possessive for someone who's just your friend—uhhh, why are you guys seem to be addicted to holding hands all of a sudden—Spirit why are you comparing them to yourself and your wife, isn't Stein right over there—was that intertwined fingers and head touch necessary?! What is this, yuri manga?! Soul...why are you having that dorky blush again over Maka like ain't you supposed to be the cool guy? Ah the story's reaching its end....did-did Soul just flirt with Maka? At a time like this? Oh wow Maka that's the worst case of luminescent blush you've got yet—*

Me: ...Oh fuck, fuck, fuck. 'Just friends' you mean a couple of friends obviously feeling sexually frustrated with each other—

*Drama CD 06 has Maka trying to basically seduce Soul and it ends in a highly dorky love confession and marriage proposal*

Me: ....THAT'S IT I'M DONE. THIS BLUEBALLING GAME AIN'T SHIT

Laws of Attraction ep 4

I'm late to the ep this weekend for different reasons but I couldn't leave it any longer so I'm avoiding my responsibilities and finally watching it.

Tonkhao and Tin are so good.

I love it: Straight off the bat (no pun intended), Tin is in his blue shirt - staying true to himself - to talk to Tanthai. And I loved the red light on the baseball bat.

Oh, shame, I thought Tin was going to give the ring back and admit he knows it wasn't Tanthai who started the fire. Oh well.

Okay, this fight sequence is pretty good. But seriously, please, for the love of the bl gods, I wish these actors would STOP PUTTING THEIR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER when they're holding guns.

"A packed meal, impossible to pay back" - so Thee is somehow indebted with his life to Tanthai. "Everything is not as you saw" - And Tanthai isn't as Tin thinks he is... Hmmmm... Was it Thee? Or another bodyguard driving instead?

(The whiplash of the actress who plays Nan with her character in The Jungle 😂)

Oh wow, Charn owned up to setting the fire. He cares what Tin thinks of him! Me: *rubbing hands together in glee*

Ok, Charn in a white shirt - NO COLOUR - as he admits to his failings, and that he's evil, whilst wanting Tin to see the good in him. Whilst wanting to be good like Tin. He's changing! And his transition is like a blank slate.

Thank god for the Grandmother! Find a middle ground together 👏🏽

Oh sweet pea Charn. You just made a mistake letting on that you're emotionally invested in Tin's wellbeing. But you should know, you poke the bear, the bear gets angry and lashes back at you.

Have the cushions always been green and blue in the office?

So something Bad happened which Thatthep covered up by using his son as a scapegoat but that blew up in ways he didn't like so he changed the plan and used an old gardener as a second scapegoat instead. It's so intriguing what the Bad Thing was that made him choose his son first.

The green of Tonkhao is still looming in the background of the guilty parties (or those who know the truth).

And it's interesting that the scapegoat is in a blue shirt...Tanthai and Thatthep were also in a lot of blue again this ep and I'm still wondering what to make of all this.

Oh you're right, @rocketturtle4, I absolutely ADORE Tanthai's shirt. It's perfection - Tanthai is bound by the lies of that fateful evening. Also, he understands how to use sarcasm. Ok, I'm being swayed into taking pity on him.

I love the buttoning up of Charn's shirt but it's totally ridiculous 😂

Oh. my. god. HOW is Tin resisting Charn's advances. The way Charn said "We still have time to spare. Shall we do something else?". I melted. Tin is a stronger man than me.

I'm sorry, that shirt was ok until he tied the bow and added the jacket. smh.

I need Silvy to speak more English. Yes, ma'am.

A delicious red/pink background for Charn to tell Tin to go do what they planned - revenge is afoot. And then the deep blue behind Tin when he's trying to get Thee to reveal the truth. Yes, delicious.

A dramatic zoom in!

(Does anyone else think Beer looks like the guy from Dear Doctor, Nut Nutchapon?)

I love flirty Charn! He's a gift. An absolute delight.

Oh yes! That waist grab and turn. Fucking brilliant. Public claiming!

Oh, oh my, that hand-holding scene with Silvy singing. Please! I'm a pile of goo! ajflbjdfcadljjcbadfclfjcb

They like each other so much!

Laws of Attraction กฎแห่งรักดึงดูด Ep 8

I really, really enjoyed this finale. I'll have to rewatch with subs at some point, at least in parts, because some of the details were lost on me (what was that new case of Chaan's about?), but I'm looking forward to it. I hope we get more queer shows out of One31 going forward -- can Organ and Sylvie get a spinoff, maybe? aaah I'll keep dreaming. Anyway! The live blog.

--

Six days late, but I'm watching this! I'm very sad that this is going to be over. Excited, too, though. Alright, going in.

WHAT THE FUCK is this cold open with the flashback in the moment of death type scene

Oh no, going to pay respect to his mum before he goes join her, huh.

ooooh is Maayaa going to broadcast whatever confession Rose catches at that warehouse live during her announced live? I BET she is and that's such a smart move, can't make something tens of thousands of followers saw unseen

this house remains an abomination

oh god Nawin please shut up

asdfasdf of course they're gonna punch each other about it

pick up the gd necklace, that's a tripping hazard or something

oh baby, crying in business class, huh

well that knot came apart easily

rescuing our lovers solidarity, huh

YIKES those boinks to the head with that thing would've had a pretty decent chance of killing the dudes if this were real

hahaha of course Chaan planted stuff. Let's hope this plays out as he hoped. can hardly believe Thatthep is this dumb, though on the other hand …

… oh god is Tinn going to ruin this take. He IS, isn't he.

I am SO nervous, goodness

he's pretttty convincing

250k viewers is pretty incredible

WOW this dude is cold as ice

ahahaha of COURSE someone was going to tell them this was getting streamed and they REALLY should've seen that coming

just put the freaking doll away and HIDE ffs Chaan

Tinn to the rescue

you fuckers, RUN

what are you doing

oh ffs Tinn don't RUSH the guy with the gun, and you, Chaan, don't just STAND there ffs

yeah that … was going to happen and I sure hope he's wearing body armour of some sort

how many shots does this thing HAVE??

hey. hate to interrupt but thatthep is still RIGHT THERE and ARMED

ROSE <3 <3 <3 I love her so much oh my GOD

okay everyone here is useless, why hasn't anyone called an ambulance

also I feel like Tinn should've been able to FEEL the body armour but w/e

so did they pull Thaenthai off the plane or what

adsfasdfasdasdf oh no he was being that passenger but I guess it's all for the best, huh

over the top and overdramatic, 10/10 no notes

asdfasdfasf Chaan being a BRAT because he can

GRANDMA 😂

asdfasdfasd of COURSE she'd be like "this is a HOSPITAL"

oh poor baby, your dad doesn't even want to see you in this situation, huh

and he said it himself

man I feel bad for Thaenthai.

offering Chaan "everything/anything" is a dangerous thing, Tinn

Tinn is so cute in his slow realisations. yes it's sorta overacted. no I don't care.

awww POST IT NOTES

oh no this is so cheesy (I love it) 😂

(it's a northern song!)

a proposal! wow. you've not even lived together yet! you only know his regular bad habits, not the living together ones! AND THEY'RE SHADING THE LEGAL SITUATION I love them

god they are ADORABLE

oh no, shovel talk!!!

asdfsdfasd TINN 😂😂😂

aaah the wlw mlm solidarity we love to see

I really dislike proposal and marriage plots but I'll give it to them, this admit this is cute

Nawin 😂

MORE shovel talk, oh no

oh, perfect drowning opportunity!

… is Thatthep trying to be a big man even in prison? I was so sure they'd ostracise him for killing a kid

ffs someone shut this dude up already (let it be Thee)

… oh WOW yikes ouch

I kinda hate that it was this was something Chaan probably set up. Not a fan of people making third parties get their hands dirty for revenge

awwww Thaen

whatcha gonna do with all this, hm? sell the house, get an apartment somewhere, be happy with Thee?

I really wanted for them to get to kiss, but you know what? these hugs are so heartfelt, I'll take them

oh Tinn, don't do that to yourself

look at grandma! look at Tinn with that ridiculous oversized bow tie!

Chaan subscribing to the "sun's out guns out" philosophy of fashion even on his wedding day, I see

ah, so he does have a jacket

oh they look good. hair and make-up on POINT

I have opinions on the set-up of this but there's a time and place for salt and this is probably not it

ASDFASDFDS GRANDMA

I like the "noise fades away and they're in their own world" of this love Sylvie's singing voice, godDANG

oh, Rose, looking at her all in love <3

Win 😅

of course they watch wuxia. probably domestically produced ones, too. incredible.

oh god I love them

KISS!!!!!!

aaaaaah can Rose and Maya kiss, too? for me?

god Chaan's "I'm so lucky" in love eyes. Film's expression here is so different from Thian's in-love-face and I love both of them.

AAAAAH MY GIRLS!!!!!!

PRODUCT PLACEMENT hello. I want twenty of those but also this REALLY shows the age of the intended target audience

ahaha Chaan back on the job, stirring shit. I love him.

oh my goodness, Chaan actually said it

this is reaching PatPran levels of interruption

I love them

I guess that was supposed to be cute but I couldn't see it as anything but overstepping, sorry, Tinn

oh, I love these long shots

… and that finaly second of that shot was 100% Film turning to the camera like "are we done yet" 😂

[sanchoyo]

arc v ep 88-100 thoughts... cannot believe I hit ep 100 already. hell yeah

also my cat sat on my laptop and typed this while I was watching and its important I leave in HER thoughts too. she says: "4r4 rrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr4ggggj,"

ok now onto My Thoughts (which are considerably less Important than hers)

-ok shun leaping onto his monster to save a small child then everyone being like 'omg i cant believe he'd do that..wow…hes not so bad…' LIKE? YOU THOUGHT HE WAS HEARTLESS??? dude cares SO much hes been consistently trying to stop a war and find his sister and stuff??? jkdashkj (also it was just very dramatic and Cool and made me laugh bc he was SO serious and straight faced during the whole thing. nerves of STEEL)

-'i wonder if kurosaki is a lot like crow'….theyre both bird boys. theyre uniting to be bird FRIENDS and FIST BUMPED OVER IT WHY AM I TEARING UP. SHUN LOST WITH A SMILE TOO….im glad theyre friends and birds and birdfriends. even jack smiled over crow winning AAAUGH. STOPPP. too cute. didnt expect this ep to be so WHOLESOME

-the subs said smth like 'youre one of us' when they were through speaking (which is lovely bc they have a solidarity in that they both have causes theyre fighting for) but the more literal translation of what was said was closer to 'you're one of my/our friends now' from crow. Augh. AUGGH. ;_;

my god the sora meeting up with yuzu then their monsters working together (in an ADORABLE dance sequence) was THEE best thing ever like 2 eps in a row have been BANGERS and making me unlock new emotions. I love both of their decks SO much too????

screenshots that made me bawl my eyes out tbh. like I literally, actually cried a little JKADSHKFJ sora has FRIENDS for the first time and he LOVES THEM and they TRUST HIM he found the best friends ever and its SO tender. this is why I watch ygo btw. sobbing in the club rn.

-yuzu declares shes gotta save yuya bc he is, once again, locked up. girl boss protag! …of course tsukikage interrupted and tbh he and sora had Points abt it being better if sora goes and gets yuya since hes…yeah, trained for this kinda stuff but they all trust each other and the whole teacher and student thing with yuzu and sora…god theyre all so CUTE this is EXACtly what I wanted ;__; exactly what i NEEDED.

-yugo v serena started exactly how I expected jdshjk I LOVE how constantly Pissed serena is. shes SO blunt and I love her for it. (but also wARRANTED he got way too clingy fast and im sure thats Weird for her. gotta assume her and yuri werent…like, even acquaintances or anything by way she acts around the yu boys) she did make sure to let yugo know she expected a lot from him from his last duel which was Something. but my god yugo is SO in love with rin isnt he kjdsahkj hes got like that wholesome childhood friends puppy love, the way he imagines her, and its REALLY cute. cannot wait to actually meet rin…

-roget is so damn annoying that everytime he speaks i just hear the adults from the peanuts cartoons so i cant recall, but hes saying smth abt wanting serena to be a symbol for the commons and the tops and im like. he wants her and yuzu so academia cant have them and has his own plans for them, but. does he know WHY academia wants them? im gonna need him to share with the class. I still need to know too

-also its rly annoying that roget is cheesing the duel in serena's favor. but also I'm always rooting for the girls so like. i get it, but if shes gonna win I want it to be on her own merits yk… (rin seems so cute from the flashbacks also, she always WON IN THEIR DUELS?? GIRL IS STRONG IM EVEN MORE EXCITED TO MEET HER)

-yuyas thng where he can astral project (??) himself into his alt selves bodies is creepy and i KNOW its prob not supposed to be but it IS and I Dont Like it. Pls dont Dissolve yugo too like u did with yuto. maybe it only happens to them when theyre not in their dimension. maybe yugo will absorb yuya instead. I DOUBT it since yuya is protag protected but still

-….yugo being like 'no, i LIKE it that when youre in trouble the course changes and u get an action card!! its cool and a good thing!!!" OK FEMINIST KING JHDSKJF. hes great and I love him. (also yeah its not her FAULT roget is trying to give her advantages but id argue having yuya backseating on the duel is also kinda cheesing it for yugo so. theyre EVEN on the unintentional cheating)

-much as I hate to see her lose her attitude makes PERFECT sense given how she was raised in academia. duels are not Games to her, theyre tools, and she hates relying on whats basically handouts from roget to win or dumb luck. perfectly understandable and I appreciate her stubbornness and sense of honor abt it. but gotta agree with yugo that nah girl take the W if u can jkdhsjk. she ofc changes her tune later in the duel but Still

-oh my god yuri is HERE im going to PUKE just seeing his silhouette made me get so hyped up. i dont even KNOW him hes barely had ANY screentime but the way the other characters and even fucking roget hyped him make me like. dude u better be a hammy villain i have HIGH hopes for u. if hes good at being squirrely he WILL be my fav yuya counterpart EASY bc looks wise hes already my fav. pink and purple is unbeatable. but hes just STANDING THERE. MENACINGLY. with his lil bunny hair...tbh kinda cute.

-AWWW serena being like 'why am i getting kind of excited…' girl has had so little Hype in her life and this is def her first time hearing ppl cheer for her im gonna cry. id hype u up bestie ur SO cool and good at dueling….AND SHE GOT TO SAY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS TIME. and SHE IS ENJOYING HERSELF GOOD FOR HER. I did kinda figure she woulnt win or go all the way (and I assume the same goes for yugo...) but. still very proud of her. and her and yugo had funnnn together ;w; yugo is lowkey befriending ALL the yuzu counterparts isnt he. king shit! love him!

-I know this shot of yuri standing is supposed to be menacing and threatening but he looks like a little. i dont know. like a littol kitty or perhaps a pug dog. he said :I look at him:

-btw why was he on top of the stadium howd he get up there. WHY IS HE STANDING ON TOP OF A MOVING TRUCK??? then he leaps OFF it and-- all the yuboys are so…acrobatic…I mean it makes sense if him and sora were both academia-trained but still...not Normal.

-oh…layra coming to save serena while reiji creates an opening for them and trusts his sibling to go do that…look at layras character development bc of jacks inspiration…layra got so vocal and seemed so confident IM SO PROUD OF ALL MY KIDS RN. SNIPED 3 COPS TOO. SO QUICKLY. it was barely a duel god damn. they are reijis sibling huh

-the way reiji keeps WINNING (also I love how his scarf defies gravity. very cool) roget is SOO mad and I love to see it. he said hes going to KILL REIJI AND THE COUNCIL? NOT DUEL THEM? KILL THEM OUTRIGHT? oh ok roget. sure you will when we have checks episode count at least …2-3 seasons left. sure you'll kill the sort of rival but not exactly character, who leads the lancers. I totallllly believe u ;)

-eeeeugh roget is so creepy 'normally i wouldve wanted to rework his (yuya) brain first but-' blah blah blah do you realize youre talking abt modifying a living person against their will. i mean hes already done it to every cop and sergey. but still. urgh creepy and bad.

-obv I know yuya will win the friendship cup stuff and duel jack. bc protag. but them pitting yuya v crow seems like swinging a bat at the hornets nest (the fandom) by definitively saying one is a better duelist and would win against the other…sjdhfkjn its the reason we dont get protag v protag duels in stuff like bbt n no conclusive winner to the judai v yugi duel i guess hahah. tbf this duel was p much all Thee Demon and not yuya, and fixed at the start so crow didnt do his 100% best on the first turn, and its not as if yuya planned to go thru with it at ALL bc hes got priorities, but ofc I figured thatd get dashed...despite their scheming...ugh. still a bit bummed. hope they have an earnest on screen duel fr before the end...

-I do love yuya and crow PLOTTING TOGETHER. thats great….schemers! also glad the whole 'crow thinks yuya might be working w the tops' shit was short-lived bc I knew crow wouldnt buy that

-sora…jumped onto a helicopter's wheel..and is just hanging on…his upper core and arm strength has to be INSANE what the HELL dude if u fall u will DIE dont DO THAT

-the silly music that plays when yuya brings out his hippos is such a bop. loveeee this ost

-….YUYA WAS GOING TO JUMP AND ABANDON THE DUEL TO GO TRY AND FIX SHIT. my god he was so close to breaking the unspoken ygo rule (protags always win tournaments) to ABANDON THE TOURNAMENT FOR THE SAKE OF THE PLOT!!! i cant believe it…roget stopped him with a BRAIN SHOCK??? he put some shit in his helmet :( at least its not IN HIS BRAIN I guess?? oh my god it increases aggression too. roget you are so so stupid man hes got a DEMON in his necklace or some shit you CANNOT be doing this its gonna come out and EAT you. or worse, eat crow who I actually like. i wouldnt MIND if it ate roget

-we then get a really cool shot of a red eye looking over a disintegrating city line. and all the yu-dudes have a Moment. uhhh safe to say this demon thats attached to all of them wiped out a fucking huge city or dimension/world? great. very cool. roget you dumb fuck youre going to cause the apocalypse or something

-the demon said fuck ya friends im winning the duel lmaooo of course its a demon with priorities to duel. classic ygo moment. the other yuboys are completely controlled and copying yuyas movements and their eyes are doing the Thing….ok, so the demons goal is 100% absorb all of them into one like what happened with yuto.. like to get the power of all the dimensions/their dragons all together? ? still like, doesnt explain why they all look the same or how the yuzugirls/bracelets are involved really, but im pretty sure thats the Idea right…starting to think we cant Friendship our way out of this and the demon might end up being. a real problem and not a Potential Bud. Sad

-'if he dies he dies' ok roget. youre horrible. VERY effective villain tho

-oh christ academia is here too rn? WORST timing. but im like. on the edge of my seat this is season finale worthy tension.

-btw this is a VERY funny screenshot. sora jumped from a helicopter WAY up in the air perfectly onto crows bike SOMEHOW without shattering all of his leg bones. what they dont tell you abt academia is that they replace all of your bones with a sturdy rubber so u can do unlimited parkour without hurting urself

-jack finally got up out of that damn chair he was so pissed crow lost jkdshjk. real. me and jack ALWAYS on same wavelength. twinsies <3

-yuya said FUCK the friendship cup im leaving for real this time. good for him. dip out and save ur friends. but you WILL be back to finish the tournament or so help me god. thats ygo LAW.

-genuinely didnt expect yugo and yuri to be SO funny when they interacted but my god i kept having to pause and laugh. but also…uhh…yugo really thought yuzu was DEAD?? he did keep sayin yuzu from heaven or smth along those lines BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS BEING CUTE AND CALLING HER AN ANGEL OR SMTH LIKE. AS A PET NAME. HE REALLY. THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD? 'then I suppose rin lives on in your heart too' BRUTAL. but I laughed. sjdfkjn

btw this?

sounded like a genuine laugh jkhdsfjk and was super cute. im...hesitant to say i SHIP any of the yuboys bc im terrified its gonna be smth like theyre bros. literally interdimensional brothers or smth insane like that. but. if that DOESNT end up being the case. cmon. look at them.

-the council being like 'hmmm hmm yes maybe we shall use sergey and make peace with roget afterall to get him on our side :)' and reiji looking PISSED. my god I would be too, hes done so much for you FUCKS. down with the council and roget and academia and the tops/police force in synchro. they ALL gotta go.

-….god tsukikage is the best isnt he. as far as he knows, the carding of his bro is like. equal to death (I know it cant be, no way we're losing that many minor characters FOREVER. just like im 100% sure yuto will Be Back or smth) and still, hes like no we dont hold grudges thats not the way of my clan. thanks for your help. to sora. very tender and sweet moment im so glad…..

-YUYA LITERALLY BUSTING IN ON A MOTORCYCLE. ICONIC ENTRANCE AND THANK GOD. poor layra had to fight waaay too long :<

-…shun is WAY too extra I LOVE him lmaooo he straight up started bodying ppl underground with his fists AGAIN the second he heard academia was here. gonna need a shun fight compilation or gifset immediately if such a thing exists. and if not I will MAKE it. bird of Incredible Violence

-the REVOLUTION IS STARTINGGGGG OK SHINJI LETS GOOOOOO this is awesome

-…my god the stuff with layra and serena turned into a clusterfuck SO fast. sora showed up to try and help. yuya showed up to try and help. then YURI SHOWED UP. AND YUGO. and yuzu, FINALLY. everything happens So Much. (and then fucking sergey too) everyone is kinda in One Spot huh…Bad Feeling abt This

-speaking of bad feelings. when all the yu's dragons came out! and they started talking about becoming one and saying shit like 'i'll be revived!' ok. so. yuya's demon is trying to resurrect itself and needs all the yu's to do it. bad! kinda suspecting yuri and yugo are gonna go to Spirit Town with yuto kjsdnkjn oh no. so its like. safe to assume this is some zorc type shit? the demon put pieces of itself into each of them? the dragons are like, the key to Waking it Up (which…yuya did get his mysteriously from pendulum stuff right. his DAD gave him the pendulum necklace didnt he. im SO sus abt his fuckin dad rn I dont trust him I KNOW how ygo dads Are. this is his fault somehow. he gave his son a cursed Amulet type shit)

-…and the yuzugirls all have bracelets that can detect and lead to the demon when its active? …does reiji's dad know this? and wants them all together and to find the demon? and assumedly put it back together/fuse the yuboys for world/dimensional domination? maybe thats why hes trying to fuse the dimensions together, so he can rule them All with Demon Power (tm)? cliche but thats my best guess… but like. if thst WAS the case he'd just need one of the girls bc yuzu could find yuya on her own? or maybe leo is actually…trying to STOP the demon thing and is going abt it in the worst fuckedest up way possible. thats also a possibility. but he seems like. he doesnt give a FUCK abt the yuboys at all and just wants the girls so??? do they also have a demon. doesnt seem like it but that would be sick af I think the girls deserve to go a bit feral too. as a treat

-if…fusing the yuboys is the demons ultimate goal its already halfway there LOL got yuto! doesnt explain why it would split itself across dimensions to be in them in the first place or anything or why itd pick yuya and his counterparts unless it chose them from birth or smth (which explains why they might look the same kinda?) (I am going to assume when we keep seeing that cityline being destroyed in yuya's vision, that it at one time was some big bad. so assumedly it got destroyed and maybe scattering itself was a last ditch effort in hopes of being revived?? or someone else did it??) also still doesnt explain how the yuzugirls factor in. im trying so hard rn to figure it Out. the whole 'we will be ONE AGAIN' thing did confirm a lot of my suspicions tho and if I was yugo and yuri id get the HELL OUT OF DODGE tbh

-also. the bracelets have teleportation powers. (yuboys specifically targetted during it…) what does THAT imply? that the dragons pull them together…and the bracelets are tools to keep them apart? from fusing? hm. so what im understanding is yuzu protag real

-earthbounds are SO cute I loved them in 5ds how is it fair that SERGEY has them. bullshit

-btw I appreciate how cute yuzu's prison jumpsuit is. shes just runnin around in a lil onesie doing all of this. I mean motorcycle suits are also onesies. this is the onesie arc

-why has the nerve gas on serena lasted so long. i feel like it shouldve long since worn off

-the entire duel between barett and yuya was 'tell me where yuzu is.' 'no' 'tell me' 'i..said i wasnt going to?' 'tell me' 'no' tell me' 'NO' 'oh shes here :)' 'FUCK' like for 20 mins I swear to god jasdfk

-they took serena nooooooo. sad :( I hope we can see a lil of academia and keep following her while shes there (and that shes not just thrown in a cell) oh!! i hope her and rin and ruri can meet up there!!! I want to see them

-SERGEY HAS DISGUSTING LEG…ENGINES??? HE FUCKING LAUNCHED OFF WITH YUZU. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. diGUSTING this man is nightmare duel what the hell. not my best girl :<

-layra deciding sora is a Safe Person and clinging to him…VERY cute ;_; sora once again being the one to go and try to save yuzu too…BESTIES.

-…the fact the duel arena is..empty bc the fucking revolution is happening outside LMAO even gon is like 'hey why the hell are they even continuing the tournament rn this is ridiculous' same dude!!

-holy shit jack is finally doing smth. jack is going to beat sergeys ass im so ready do it king. his cool as a cucumber disposition and pretty face are like. the only buffer I have to protect me from sergey

-choziro appealing to shingos EGO to get him to protect layra is SO funny. hes got NO braincells and hes the best for it

-ohhh the rain during the sergey v jack match. jack In The Rain while sergey DESTROYS THE ROAD. its so DRAMATIC and cool and I love this for him yesss show this guy how jack duels!!! #1 king of all time. hes calling him shit like 'fool' and 'buffoon' too such a jack moment. and 'if theres perfection, its ME' oh my GOD I love you SO much jack. pls.

-I need u all to understand ygo is My Sports Game I'm hysterical rn over jack slipping past sergey and then RIDING BACKWARDS TO FACE HIM. love when jack does that

-by the way, roget bringing yuzu up to have someone to monologue at? v funny

-jack caused sergey to have some kind of fucking…duelgasm which caused an Error. which is Disturbing I hate this dude TF. this is the effect jack has on everyone tho I guess

-ROGETS LITTLE 'SERGEEEEY!!!' SCREAM WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY I NEED A CLIP OF THAT HIS VOICE. LIKE. JKDFHKJ. hes LOSING his shit I cant stop laughing

-I Never Doubted Jack for One Second

-You Ever Have a Duel So Good You Kill Yourself After. ok. goodbye sergey. cannot say I will miss you infact I am very Relieved actually

-…by the way. does jack know anything abt whats currently happening with the plot? im sure he at least knows abt the revolution but does he know abt the lancers/academia stuff? hes been on his Chair most of the time so I assume Not which is very funny. this random dude just dueled him, turned into a bike, then killed himself after and jack is like. well ok. JKDSHFKJ

-some rando street dudes killed sergey actually. but he was def falling on purpose. either way. watching roget LOSE it is so funny his plan has sucked ass from the start

-shun scooping layra up was really cute. Scooped

-HOLY SHIT YUZU. SLAMMED INTO ROGET AND HE HIT HIS HEAD ON THE EDGE OF HIS CHESS TABLE. i LOVE how shes consistently been a Get Shit Done girl even when shes cuffed rn. she said ya im gonna go steal his broadcast and get MY message out

-jack said for sam to tell yuya: Yuya Im Fucking Disappointed in You. Stop dueling like a Damn Animal. and this is enough to make yuya actually remember his goals. and run to the palace to duel jack again. to stop the riots and shit with a Duel. Good

-reijis smile when layra ran and hugged him PLS. cute

-the council finally gets fucking Told by Reiji. 'those who sit on the sidelines have no right to speak about the future' hey reiji youre the best (and his whole speech was REALLY good)

-shun and his Flock of Birds comes to Help. why is that so funny and kinda sweet. hes gotta STAND on his too while it flies like a drama queen

-the tournament was basically canceled bc we didnt get the semifinal duels BUT we are getting jack v yuya anyway of course as the finale…is it bad I still want jack to win? I want yuya to be fine with winning so long as it makes ppl smile bc THATS his main goal and jack is a symbol of hope for the ppl in this city…so I want jack to Win…again…but this is a duel for yuya to redeem himself after losing to jack the first time isnt it. aah

-'i declared martial law!' 'no you dont' thats basically what the council guy did kjshk

-lancers beating cops up together in the stadium :) on live tv….fun lil friend group activity aw…

-JACK SMILED WHEN HE SAW LAYRA DUEL IM ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING CUTE AGGRESSION BC OF JACK

-by the way can roget even duel. he hasnt, hes just had other ppl do it for him and been hellbent on KILLING ppl when it comes down ot it. which is. weird and funny for a ygo villain ur not even gonna duel for urself dude? do u even have any cards

-radish horse is such a cute card btw. all of yuyas cards are p Cute.

-im SO glad jack said 'dude STOP with your fathers words and speak with YOUR OWN WORDS' tbh real and true.

-…the subs this ep abruptly changed rogets name to roger….lol roger. (and the font changed between episodes which is like. Why did you do that. I cant focus on anything else now that its Weird)

-the sound gons shoes make is like asmr to me. clank clank clank :)

-I like how jack basically teaches yuya his own will can be learned from others but duels are conversations and u gotta use ur own 'words/will' to convey what youve gotten from everyone youve dueled before. its like. abt appreciating and carrying ppl before u with u. and gratitude for everyone whos taught u smth put towards achieving ur own goals. dueling for others sakes. very cute message and true bc yuya wouldnt be able to do half the stuff he can w/ pendulum if it wasnt for his buds yk

-omg jack laughed and was smiley :) yayy

-the clown guy from 5ds made a cameo! still dont remember shit abt him besides the fact he has a Clown Wife and is on arc v money…?? Ok

-ok the end of the duel was pretty cute im not even that mad abt jack losing. bc jack was happy…it makes sense too. when ur the king it can be BORING if no one challenges u or whatever

-not a huge fan of the cops magically bein buds now but fine, I get it was mind control making them suck ass and this is a more idealistic world

-the..council disbanded? cool. the upper class will dissolve and the lower class will be able to live better…very optimistic happy ending…and it all happened very fast, compared to the pacing of this arc so far tbh??? like. ok guess nothing is bad and everything is Fine Immediately! (this is a thing every ygo series does tho so. not a total awful thing I cant look past, but it did give me kinda mood whiplash)

-yuzu and reiji calling roget out!!! reiji must be so damn tired of adults not taking responsibility!!! his whole thing is just running around cleaning up after grown ass men!!!

-im tired too, reiji. tired of yuzu being a Damsel to Roget. let her DO more next arc or so Help Me God

-next episode(s) are supposed to be watched together in a HOUR LONG SPECIAL ohh. inchresting

-love how even tho they were also going w yuya to where reiji and yuzu are, heaven FORBID crow and jack ride in the copter with yuya. no, they HAD to ride their d-wheels here.

-holy shit. so. tsukikage and sora DID win the duel against roget! and so did reiji! hes just! a fucking cheating bastard! like 'neverending duel that wont end ever until u quit' ok…that does fit rogets character LMAO hes a WORM. of course I trust reiji to be the one to be able to Beat The Bullshit

-roget is such a fuckin slime trying to turn the lancers against reiji and reiji countered his logic with ONE sentence lmao. also reijis lil smile when yuya said he trusts reiji :( sweet…

-ohhh…yuya and yuzu hugging and crying bc they FINALLY got each other back…tender…

-roget says he'll drop everything into the void between dimensions. So there IS a void. did I not say in one of these posts I think the yuya demon crawled out of a void in between dimensions. now we have confirmed such a space EXISTS… will I Be Right? :3c

-….roget got sucked in and the portal closed. lmao. is he DEAD? goodbye forever (hopeful)

-…fuck. the wormhole also took yuzu, yuya, gon, shun, and shingo…. to xyz dimension!! yeahhh heartland!!!! LOVE IT. KAITO TIME??? prayin its kaito time.

-'the capital of despair, heartland' is the ep title. oof. heartland looking rough :(

I will say its funny (in a horrible way) they took the Cheeriest Setting (heartland) and did this to it. and that gx setting which is also pretty chill (a school setting...) and made them fucking interdimensional warmongers. and 5s, the canonically most gritty setting was Not Involved like until the lancers showed they were the neutral ones hahah

-arc area project!!! we havent gotten a name for leo's lil 'unify the dimensions' scheme yet until now! so…arc is in the name. back to my og theory the name arc v means more than fifth series in the ygos. and like. theres (5) dimensions for Sure right. (or, the unity of the four would be the fifth?) hm. Thinking

-shingo asking the real q of why the hell turning ppl into cards/waging war on xyz would help fuse dimensions. i also still want to know. (we keep seeing the shot of leo feeding the cards into a machine, so..hes using…soul/ppl power? to power it to fuse the dimensions?? dude what good is ruling dimensions if NO ONE is left in them???)

-…a lot of this two parter was flashbacks/recapping stuff. I…kinda appriciate the earlier flashbacks but god it could've went faster.

-KAITOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! OF COURSE YOU WOULD SHOW UP ON EPISODE 100!!! SOOO HAPPY TO SEE U :D zexal is the series I KNOW the most like its engraved in my brain, unlike 5ds where I barely remembered enough to be able to tell all the ways its an au, so im gonna be fucking ON IT trying to figure out stuff Now. also, is kaito the only zexal character? why? dont two gx charas show up? and we had jack and crow in the synchro world?? zexal shouldve gotten 2. I vote akari bc 1. she didnt get enough screentime and we always need More Girls 2. she can ride a bike so if they go back to synchro shes set already 3. she kicks ass and is a reporter so she could be trying to report on the war/document it. 4. her and melissa could be reporter gfs. im RIGHT hear me out.

-oh at the end of the ep there was a promo for dsod? this came out around then?? wow thats wild. I saw that movie in THEATERS when it released in the us. very fun. the nearest theater that was showing it was 2 hours away lol. we should have another ygo movie. pls. (maybe not another dm one tho…)

[all-chickens-are-trans]

with evey rewatch, Izzy just becomes more and more heartbreaking to me as a character. where at first, I enjoyed to watch him squirm and suffer from the antics of Stede and Ed and the crew, I now become more and more aware of how deeply tragic his position is.

he is a man trapped in his narrative. in his world, there are very clear rules: who ever has the most violence has the control, and who ever has the most control can get anything they want. But want is also dangerous, because wanting things will make you lose power. it's a constant struggle of balance - given the choice, Izzy would always choose control over his wants.

but here comes Stede, a man controlled by his wants, and according to everything Izzy has learned, that should mean Stede has to fail, at least in the pirate world. Which is why it's so infuriating that Stede has way more luck than anyone deserves, and even worse, that Edward becomes interested in him. Edward, who even transcends the rules Izzy knows in that he doesn't even need the violence anymore, he skips straight to control, gets pulled into Stede's nonsensical world of wanting things, and Izzy can't stand it.

there are three aspects to this, I think.

One is definitely that Izzy is jealous. No matter if you read Izzy as romantically in love with Ed or otherwise devoted to him, it must be hell for Izzy to see all the attention Ed gives Stede - for everything that should get him nothing but ridicule and pain, according to Izzy's rules. And if you do read Izzy as in love with Ed (which I personally think just makes the most sense), wow. It must hurt so bad to have lived off of scraps for years, decades, savoring every hidden sign of feelings Edward might have for him - and then seeing him give out his adoration, his love so freely within a matter of days. to realize Edward can and does love, he just never loved Izzy.

The second aspect is: he's worried about Edward. It's a recurring theme for Ed and Izzy that pirates end up dead. that's the rules. You can resist it as long as possible with enough violence and enough control, but sooner or later, death will catch up and get you. We see this with the Spaniards when Izzy so deserperately wants to fight to try and live another day (with Ed) while Ed seems to have given up on both violence and life. We see it again every time Ed loses either his violence or his will to live - to Izzy, those may very well be the same. We see it in ep 6, and we see it most of all at the end of s1, when Ed can't seem to find a reason to live and Izzy is worried. So he gives him a reason. He gives Edward back the one thing that will protect him - his violence.

The third is fear. Izzy has his rules, and so far they've worked. Once Stede waltzes into their lives, it becomes very clear that these rules are arbitrary and everyone gets a chance to rewrite them. but Izzy is too afraid to adjust his world view, too much is at stake there, and accepting these new rules would probably still mean losing Ed to Stede, only then also feeling the pain over it instead of just repressing the hell out of it. He can see no gain in entering this world, so every chance he gets, he tries to pull everyone, but especially Edward, back to his own. It's not just a simple "I suffer, so everyone else must suffer, too." It's that Izzy would rather have Edward by his side and both of them miserably stuck in a world that makes sense, than lose Edward to the chaos.

All of this is a long and convoluted way to say: I don't think it's entirely selfish and despicable how Izzy pulls Edward back into the role of Blackbeard in the end. Yes, he's jealous, yes, he doesn't want to be alone in his fucked up misery. But I think he also genuinely thinks it'll protect Edward, and all of them.

this is also a completely over the top way to say: damnit I want the kind of growth for Izzy where he understands that people don't own each other and that love isn't transactional. Give that man some gentleness and polyamory and let's see how his panicked brain tries to process it. I would love that very, very much. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Serotonin Booster :D🐉

How to train your dragon edition

Here are some things I had forgotten or little details I just noticed on my rewatch, maybe even Unpopular Opinions 🤭👀

✨Defenders of Berk✨

Not Astrid being pissed bc Fishlegs called her mean lmaooo

OMGGG "I would never call my father ridiculous. I'm calling my chief ridiculous" THE POWER OF THIS SCENE

The way Toothless just sat to look at the sunset.. Me too bby me too 🥺

Toothless and Thornado's shots combined was amazing!

"The first rule about the dragon flight club is that there is no dragon flight club"

Istg Meatlug and Fishlegs are made for each other

Baby whispering deaths!

OMG THEY JUST CAME UP WITH GRONCKLE IRON

I love seeing the origin of things ☺️

Wowww I just realized that Gobber has a unibrow

Sandstone makes glass

That shiny black rock makes another shiny black Rock, it also has Meatlug boiling

WOW a combination of multiple rock makes Meatlug a magnet

The way Hookfang pays more attention to Fishlegs than Snotlout is funny

Fishlegs on Toothless!!!!

"TOO MUCH FURY, TOO MUCH FURY!" JAHDHDHAH

Awwww love how Fishlegs feels happy abt being needed

DAGUR'S BACK AHH

I never understood why Dagur called Hiccup his brother but it's kinda funny

Young hiccup actually fighting is pretty badass and that shield 🥴

The way they were all trying to get Gobber to shower lmaooo

Gobber saved Gustav's life and Fishleg saved Astrid's

Am I the only one that finds the whispering deaths kinda funny, like yes they're scary but these mfs have tiny wings, a big ass head, are covered in spines and can't see like-

Newly hatched whispering deaths can be more deadly that adults bc they can't control their jaws or spines

WOW WOW WOWWWW A WHITE WHISPERING DEATH - Titanwing whispering death with red eyes OMG NO NO THIS IS THE SCREAMING DEATH I KNEW IT ‼️‼️

Wow but the pain in Snotlout's eyes 🥺

Monstrous nightmares are stoker-class dragons

Fireworms get brighter the closer they get to each other

Ohhhhh now I get the history behind Hookfang and the fireworms queen's connection

"You're not just another sword, Hookfang"

Awww the fireworm queen saved Hookfang, I ship them now JSHDHSHS

BABY ASTRID!! 🥺🥺🥺 AWWW

Flightmare - follows the glowing algae caused by Aurvandil's fire, sprays a paralyzing mist to those who it considers a threat to its survival

Aurvandil's fire = Aurora Borealis

YES ASTRID BEAT SNOTLOUT UP

Hiccup: Well, you know, Astrid, uh, training dragons isn't the only thing I think about.

Astrid: Are you actually saying that to me with a straight face?

JAHSHAHAJAJ I SWEAR I LOVE THESE TWO the way both of them said these lines I can't ✋🏼😂

The way she said the exact same thing as her uncle and even took on the name I-

I have this headcanon that bc I'm pretty sure Astrid's parents were barely mentioned in the shows or movies that her uncle was the person that was there for her the most which is another reason why it upset her to see people making fun of him

Why does whenever Astrid gets shot by a dragon she always tries to hit it off like her axe is a baseball bat? 😂

Hiccup saving Astrid in the flightmare ep🥺🥺🥺🥺

GLOWY TOOTHLESS AND GLOWY STORMFLY AND GLOWY MEATLUG ARE ADORABLE

Awww I love how Hiccup makes sure to mention the fact that "Fearless Fin Hofferson was indeed fearless, just like all the Hoffersons" 🥺🥺🥺 STOP AND THEN SHE SMILES AND HE PROCEEDS TO PUT HIS HAND ON HER SHOULDER I-🥴🥴🥴

I love how they're always interrupted whenever they're about to say a bad word

Lil terrible terrors are adorable 🥺

The fact that what they were trained for was actually useful it's crazy

Astrid: "no one is kissing me on the lips ever!!" HHSHAHAH ASTRID WHY U LYING

I feel like we don't appreciate how smart Hiccup actually is, and I don't mean that dragon-wise or building stuff-wise I mean in general. I'm in ep9 and they're finding old dragon traps to get rid of them and there was a lil breeze and he was like "there's a dry hot wind coming in from the north. It hasn't rained in 2 months. This is definitely fire weather." like how- am I the only one that would've been like okok a nice warm breeze 😩

Dude the typhoomerangs are so scary and huge wtf

I KNEW HE WAS TORCH

Torch actually built a lil relationship with Tuff just for that but of time I love it

WE'RE FINALLY GONNA SEE THE SKRILL!! I love it it's one of my favorite dragons :D

I never understood why fishlegs says his name when he's excited

Skrills - The skrill was first found frozen, it's the symbol of the Berserkers, it can stay safely frozen for decades because of their internal body temperature, can't redirect any lightning if it's in the water 😳

Y'all the skrill and the nightfury have gotta be related somehow, they're probably like cousins or sum. I mean the night fury is the "unholy offspring of lighting and death" and the skrill can control lightning AND TECHNICALLY TOOTHLESS CAN TOO REMEMBER HTTYD 3 + they also have similar physical characteristics at least Imo.

Dude this dragon is so badass 😌🤩🥰😩🥴❣️🤍🤝 I'm literally so obsessed

Wow one of the first times I see the twins actually doing sum useful

The way the shots combine🥴

Dagur has misophonia - condition where people experience intense negative emotions for sounds such as eating, chewing, loud breathing or even repeated pen-clicking [ep11]

Oh wow so they originally trapped the skrill in this show i didn't know

Wait but baby Gustav is actually adorable wtf and the fact that he and Snotlout have matching Viking hats

OMG SEE NOW I'M SEEING GUSTAV'S ORIGIN WITH HIS DRAGON AND HIS DESIRE TO BECOME A RIDER

Fanghook🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Ruff puts fish oil on her hair to get "a greasy unwashed look"

Really hate when Snotlout doesn't accept no for an answer

THE HAND THING AHHHH I LOVE IT this time is Ruff and a scauldron

Ok guys so I did this with mi friend's puppy who I accidentally scared enough to make him piss himself and I'm pretty sure I traumatized him and now when I'm around the poor dog tries to get as far away from me as possible but one day we were kinda bonding although he still wouldn't let me pet it AND I DID THE HAND THING BECAUSE WHY NOT AND THIS LIL MF ACTUALLY PUTS HIS FACE IN MY HAND- I screamed and he left again🥺😂 BUT IT DID WORK

Scauldy🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥰😌☺️🤩🤍

Ok but ruffnut with short hair 🤩

Speedstingers

Also the way Astrid ran up to Hiccup in the ep14

Wait but the scene whenever they're fighting the Speedstingers and Fishlegs says they're too fast but Hiccup's like "not for a nightfury" and then they show Toothless dodging the Speedstinger's attack AND THEN THEY SHOW HICCUP PROTECTING HIMSELF WITH HIS SHIELD WHICH GETS THROWN AWAY BUT RIGHT THERE TOOTHLESS CATCHES IT AND THROWS IT BACK TO HICCUP who's like "Thanks bud" 🤩🤩🤩 literally so badass go watch it!! It's ep14 frozen min 17:40

I really liked the relationship Snotlout and Astrid created with each other's dragon 🥺

HOOKFANG'S WINGBLAST AND STORMFLY'S SINGLE-SPINESHOT ARE HELLA BADASS... I love how they worked together this time 🥺

DUDE JAHDHSJAJJJSA ppl really underestimate Ruff's cleverness, this bish really gets Tuff to do the dumbest things just to enjoy looking at him hurting himself JAHDHSJAH😂

TOOTHLESS REALLY JUST BIT AN EEL'S HEAD OFF TO SAVE HICCUP🥺

Baby toothless is high🥺

"Uh, okay. That one was a little close to the one good leg" JAHDHAHSHA ISTG I LOVE THIS DUDE

Johan hates Snotlout for breaking his stuff

Tuff got Macey the Mace from Trader Johan

Astrid looks hot without her shoulder pads

Ok but Dagur looks so weird without his viking hat in this show

The baby thunderdrums are adorable - BING BAM AND BOOM

NOOO STOICK JUST LEFT THORNADO 🥺

OHHH SO ALVIN WAS ACTUALLY FROM BERK and he was Stoick's best friend

Snotlout and Hiccup are parallels of Alvin and Stoick

Ok but that trick Snotlout did was amazing, he really had Hookfang do a lil typhoomerangs move and then the wingblast🤩

I FINISHED IT OMG NOW ONTO RTTE!!

[puppy-phum]

bad buddy for the ask game 🥺👉👈

thank you for allowing me to go feral, love you ♥

favorite male character:

pran, obviously. idk if there has ever been a bl character i've related to more. he feels like home to me and i am so grateful i got to meet him ♥

favorite female character:

we get very few options for this but honestly, i have to say pha. i love her to bits. she's so cute and energetic and her just going uh um gIrLs 😳😍 during the show is so relatable. also, huge respect for her dealing with both pat and pran, truly the god's strongest soldier

least favorite character:

patpran's parents lol. otherwise i love everyone a lot. even wai ok. he is dear to me despite this fandom hating on him a lot for understandable reasons.

prettiest character:

please do not make me choose bc they are all so pretty??? can you see pha above?? and then ink?? and aaahhh both pat and pran are Beautiful too 😭😭 and their friends??? but is this my chance to say that i am absolutely obsessed with jimmy's face and put wai here bc i will do it (i am very normal when it comes to vice versa starting next month)

funniest character:

ok so bad buddy is obviously a romantic comedy. they are all simply funny. but i think the one who makes me laugh the most is pran despite also making me cry the hardest. i just love the faces he makes?? and his and pat's banter is always so good.

favorite episode:

i have two. the first one is ep 5 bc i will never be over pat's self-discovery journey during it and then the kiss at the end. all of that changed me as a person. the second one is ep 11 which always tears my heart apart. it's so beautiful and lovely but the underlying melancholy in that ep is just killing me. it's perfectly my vibe tho bc i love tragedies, and if bad buddy had ended like they fooled us into believing it did, i could've still lived with it. am happy it didn't bc patpran deserve to be happy but i could've lived.

favorite romantic ship:

patpran of course. i adore them. i have never felt as strongly about a main couple before. bad buddy really is one for the history books. tho i also gotta mention that waikorn drove me wild while i was waiting for new episodes to drop. they really made them all "will they, won't they??" and am still not quite sure they didn't actually end up together in the end haha

favorite family ship:

idk if there really are any others in bad buddy than pat and pha. but i don't really need more?? they were perfect. i loved their banter and they truly felt like siblings, they had that deranged energy to them. but they were also very supportive and caring of each other, and pha's coming out scene still has a place in my heart ♥

favorite friendship:

bc i see pran as a permanently lonely person, i adored it that he had wai by his side. his and wai's friendship felt free and uncomplicated. they were also very comfy with each other and had casual skinship which i did not expect from pran when i saw so much of myself in him. i also adored pat with korn bc wow the chaos really was on another level. also the shared braincell between those two was barely functional but they did take advantage of every second of when it was ♥

worst ship:

gosh i dunno if there is anything bad in bad buddy? all the ships are lovely ;; or maybe i just haven't seen anything truly cursed haha (and please do not expose me to anything if you know something, i like this happy bubble am living in XD)

thank you once more! i had fun :')

leave a tv show or a movie in my ask box and i'll tell you things!

The Bachelorette: NCT edition - Ep. 1

The season of love is finally here! An interactive series where you’ll get to choose who goes home each week and ultimately who Y/N chooses in the end!

pairing: nct(ot23) x fem!reader

summary: The candidates arrive to the mansion and meet the bachelorette. On the cocktail party they have a chance to get to know each other better until the rose ceremony arrives and the first bachelors are sent back home.

word count: 6,208

warnings: none :)

☽ ・・・・・ ☾

Once upon a time there was a beautiful young bachelorette searching for the man of her dreams and 23 men trying to prove they’re the one. Y/N will be calling the shots in hopes that one of them will become her husband.

Tonight begins the exciting new season of the bachelorette and when 23 single guys fight for the heart of an amazing woman there’s bound to be trouble.

23 men begin and each week egos will be shattered as Y/N searches for the man who’ll ultimately become her husband.

Will she find true love? Will she propose? And if she does, will the man of her dreams say yes?

Find out on the bachelorette!

-

“Hi, I’m Chris Harrison and welcome to the Bachelorette.” The host introduces himself while walking around the mansion where the show will unfold. “Tonight a woman will be handing out roses and choosing from 23 men and that lucky one lady is our very own Y/N. You don’t often hear of 23 men lining up to get married but they’re here and each of them are hoping, several weeks from now, they might be the last one standing and that Y/N will become their wife. Later this evening we’ll meet these 23 bachelors but for now let’s get to know our bachelorette.” 

-

“Y/N has always been an amazing daughter, since she was a kid.” Your mother says. “She always carries her bright spirit with her everywhere she goes.”

“She’s very kind and always cares about other people,” your best friend Areum comments, “sometimes even more than herself!”

“I love helping people so why not make my life around it?” You speak with a smile on your face.

“Y/N was always a very active kid, involved in all the clubs she could get in school and had a lot of friends.” Your father states. “When she decided to work on charity we just knew it was the right thing for her.”

But why hasn’t this perfect women found the perfect man?

“I want to find Mr. Right, I want to find him!” Your tone is hopeful. ”I have searched for forever. I want to know that it’s right and I just haven’t come across that yet. I have dreamt about my wedding since a was a little girl but work takes its toll on me and it’s hard to find time to connect with people in a romantic way.”

With 23 guys competing for her, our bachelorette’s dreams just might come true!

“I think my prince charming is here, I just have to find him.”

-

“Here she is, our bachelorette!” Chris announces.

A limo arrives at the mansion. As it stops, the drives opens the door and you come out shining in a beautiful evening gown.

“Hi.” You shyly greet as you walk to the host.

“Hi. How are you doing?” Chris greets you as you stand next to him.

“A little but nervous but I’m good!” You both chuckle. “How are you?”

“I’m good, nice to meet you! Let me just say you look fantastic.” He says as the camera captures you whole look. “Let’s go sit down and have a talk.”

“Ok, let’s go.” You agree and you both walk to the mansion.

“Y/N,” Chris opens the door for you, “this is your bachelorette house.”

“Oh my!” You gasp as you take in the beautiful place.

The space is decorated with candles and rose petals that together with the dim lighting makes the whole place look so romantic. He walks you through the living room leading to a door that connects with the pool area on the back.

“Let’s take a seat.” Chris points to the two chairs by the pool divided by a small table.

You two sit down and you can’t stop smiling at this wonderful adventure that’s about to start.

“Y/N, you are the bachelorette. Now that we’re here and this is happening, what do you think?”

“I’m excited, I’m nervous, I… I don’t even know!” You chuckle. ”I can’t wait to get this started but I’m definitely shaking right now.”

“We know you had a few heartbreaks in the past, any loose ends these guys have to worry about?”

“Oh not at all!” You say with certainty. “Everything from my past is well solved. I did have my fair share of bad experiences but I’ve moved on and I’m ready to find the one!”

“Do you think this the best way for you to find your future husband?”

“There’s no right or wrong way to find a husband, no matter how you meet if you’re meant to be it will happen one way or the other.” You smile.

“That’s an amazing mind-set. Do you think you’re ready to take the wheel and make the hard decisions you’ll have to each week?”

“I’m someone very sure of what I want but it will be hard to make decisions knowing I might potentially be hurting someone’s feelings.” You take a deep breath. “But I gotta do what I gotta do and I’m here to find the one, not the ones!” You both laugh.

“We sincerely hope you can find true love here and for that we have selected 23 fantastic men with your taste in mind. You’re going to meet very different guys but they’ll all complete you in some kind of way. Are you ready for this?”

“I’m ready!” You say with a big smile on your face.

“Great, because your life is about to change!” Chris says and then explains how the night will unfold. ”Now, I’ll take you back to the entrance where the 23 men will arrive one by one and they’ll get to introduce themselves. Once everybody has arrived, we’ll have a cocktail party where you can all bond a little more and then we’ll have the first rose ceremony.”

“Sounds good!” You feel your heart about to burst out of your chest but you can’t wait for this to begin, you’ve never been more ready.

“Let’s go then!”

-

You two arrive at the entrance of the mansion.

“Alright, are you ready to meet the bachelors?” Chris asks looking at you.

“I’m ready.” You smile, voice full of excitement.

“Good, because here comes the first limo!” He gestures to the vehicle that’s arriving. “Good luck!”

Chris leaves as the first car stops in front of you. The door opens and the first man walks out.

“Hello!” He waves with a smile as he approaches you.

“Hi, I’m Y/N.” You try to calm yourself down, the idea that this is finally happening still sinking in you.

“I’m Taeil, nice to meet you.” He introduces himself shaking your hand.

“Nice to meet you too, Taeil.”

“You have beautiful eyes.” His own eyes sparkling above his smile.

“Thank you.” You shyly smile.

“I’ll see you inside.”

You watch him go up the stairs and then turn around as the second limo arrives. A very tall man comes out.

“Hi!”

“Hi.” You’re still impressed with his height. “Wow, you’re so tall!”

“And you’re so beautiful!” A big smile lights up his face as he shakes your hand.

“Smooth!” You both chuckle.

“I’m Johnny.”

“I’m Y/N, nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too. See you inside?”

“Of course.” Again you watch him go up the stairs.

A third car arrives with the next bachelor.

“Hey, how are you?”

“I’m good, how are you?” You are enchanted by his big eyes.

“Great now that I’m here!” He smiles widely. “I’m Taeyong.”

“Y/N, nice to meet you.” You shake hands.

“Nice to meet you too. You look great by the way!” He admires your look, still holding your hand.

“Thank you.” You can’t hide the huge smile on your face.

“See you in a bit.”

Another vehicle arrives and the next man walks to you.

“Hi, I’m Yuta. Nice to meet you.” He bows his head with a smile.

“Hi Yuta, I’m Y/N. Nice to meet you too.”

“You are really really pretty.”

“I could say the same about you!” You can’t keep your eyes from his face.

“Oh thank you.” He looks flustered with your complement and you find it adorable.

“See you inside.”

“See you.” He winks before going inside.

You take a deep breath before turning around to meet the next arrival.

“Hi beautiful.”

“Oh hi!” You chuckle at the nickname.

“I’m Kun. I thought of bringing you a rose,” he lifts up the flower in his hand, “but since you’ll be the one giving them out tonight, how do you feel about a tulip?” With a quick hand movement the flower transforms in front of your eyes and you gasp.

“Wow, we got a magician!” You take the tulip and he smiles proudly. “I’m Y/N, very nice to meet you!”

“Same! I’ll see you inside.”

“Thank you!” You raise the flower his way as he leaves.

When you turn around you see Chris walking your way.

“That was a surprise!” You both chuckle as you nod. “Mind if I take this for now? We don’t want the next candidate to be disappointed already!”

You hand him the tulip and he leaves as the next limo stops.

“Hello.”

“Hello.” You’re impressed with his politeness.

“I’m Doyoung.” He takes your hand and kisses it, looking into your eyes.

“Oh, I-I’m Y/N.” You stutter with the gesture. “And they say chivalry is dead!”

“Not with me here!” He smiles. “You look amazing.”

“Thank you, Doyoung.”

“I’ll be waiting inside.” You nod watching him go.

The next bachelor opens the door and walks to you.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Ten.” He shakes your hand.

“Nice to meet you Ten, I’m Y/N.”

“You look beautiful girl!” He spins you around holding your hand taking a 360 view.

“Oh thanks!” You’re startled by his action but still smile at him. “You don’t look too bad yourself.”

“I guess we would make a beautiful couple!”

“I guess we’ll see about that!” You both chuckle as he walks away.

Another limo arrives.

“Hi!” The man smiles and almost takes your breath away as dimples show up on his cheeks.

“Hi! You’re so handsome.” You can’t help comment.

“Thank you.” You smile at his slight shyness. “You’re gorgeous.”

“Thanks, I’m Y/N.” You extend your hand and he shakes it.

“I’m Jaehyun, nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too.” You let go of a breath you didn’t know you were holding as he walks up the stairs.

Another vehicle, another candidate.

“Wow…”

“Hey!” You chuckle.

“I’m speechless.” He admires you up and down.

“I’m hoping that’s a good thing!” You feel your cheeks burning up.

“It is, you look wonderful.” He adverts his gaze to your face.

“Thank you, I’m Y/N.”

“Oh yeah right, sorry! I’m Winwin.” He bows.

“Nice to meet you, Winwin.”

“Same to you.” He takes one last look at you before he disappears from your sight which makes you giggle.

You turn around just in time to face the next bachelor.

“Hi.” As he comes close to you he takes your hand giving it a kiss.

“Oh, hello.” You widen your eyes and smile as he looks up at you. “Aren’t you charming?”

“I am indeed.” He winks. “Jungwoo.”

“Nice to meet you, Jungwoo. I’m Y/N.”

“What a sweet name for a sweet girl.”

“I… Thank you!” Now you’re the one speechless.

“I’ll see you inside.” He winks again before leaving you to meet the next person.

Another very tall man steps outs.

“Hey.” You almost melt at the view of his smile.

“Hey.”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Lucas.” He shakes your hand and his are so big against yours.

“I’m Y/N.” You squint your eyes. “I’m sorry to ask this but do I know you from somewhere? I feel like I’ve seen you before.”

“Well,” he chuckles, “I have done some modelling work before, maybe you saw some of it?”

“Maybe…” You say although you’re not sure that’s it. “Anyway, nice to meet you too.”

“Meet you inside?”

“Definitely.”

You bite your lip still wondering where have you seen this guy before but your thoughts are interrupted as another car arrives.

“Hey, what’s up?”

“Hi!” You’re instantly hit with a wave of good vibes.

“I’m Mark and you can mark me in your heart.” He winks.

“Oh really?” You can’t help laugh at the cheesy punch line.

“I’m sorry, I can’t believe I just said that.” He joins your laughter.

“It’s ok, that was kinda cute.” You wipe the little tears forming in the corner of your eyes. “I’m Y/N, but you can mark me in your heart too I guess.”

“Well thank you!”

“I’ll see you inside.” He nods and walks away still laughing as he leaves.

You turn around you see Chris walking your way.

“So, you’ve met 12 out of the 23 bachelors. How are you feeling?”

“Definitely less nervous! They’re all so kind and funny!” You answer with a big smile.

“We’re glad you’re having fun! Ready to meet 11 more?”

“I don’t know if I can handle it!” You chuckle.

“Well you better, because the next one is here!”

Chris leaves as the door opens.

“Hi, I’m Xiaojun.”

“Hi, I’m Y/N. Nice to meet you.” 

“Nice to meet you too.” He grins. “I gotta say, you look like the girl of my dreams.”

“Oh wow!” You giggle. “Are those sweet dreams?”

“The sweetest.” He winks. “I’ll see you inside, dream girl.”

“See you inside, Xiaojun.”

Another limo arrives.

“Hey!”

“Hey, I’m Y/N.” You shake his hand and feel a comfortable warmth coming from him.

“Nice to meet you, Y/N. I’m Hendery.”

“Nice to meet you too.”

“You look beautiful, but aren’t you cold?” He places a hand on your sleeveless arm. “I can give you my jacket.”

“Oh no, no, it’s ok!” You stop him with a smile as he was about to remove the piece of clothing.

“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you inside!”

“Thank you, Hendery.”

Another car turns around the corner.

“Hi, I’m Renjun.”

“Hi, nice to meet you, I’m Y/N.”

“You look wonderful.” He smiles. “I can wait to win your heart.”

“Oh really?” You smirk. “And how do you plan on doing that?”

“I guess you’ll have to keep me around and find out.” He winks and you can’t help chuckle.

“Maybe I will.”

“See you in a bit.”

Yet another man arrives.

“Hey.”

“Oh hi.” You are amazed with his beautiful eye smile.

“Jeno, nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too-” As you’re finishing your sentence you feel a tingle on your nose and quickly cover your mouth as you sneeze. “I’m sorry.”

“Are you ok?” You nod as he pulls out a napkin from his pocket and hands it out to you. “I would say godbless you but it looks like he already did.”

“Oh my!” You almost snort as you carefully wipe your nose.

“You sure you’re ok?” He places a hand on your shoulder.

“Yes, thank you Jeno. I’m Y/N by the way.”

“I’ll take that.” He takes the used napkin and smiles as he turns to the stairs.

Your cheeks are burning hot from embarrassment but you take a deep breath to greet the next arrival.

“Hi!”

“Hey!” You can feel the excitement in his voice.

“I’m Haechan, would you mind if I gave you a hug?”

“Sure-” You barely replied and his arms were around you, careful to keep a respectful distance between your bodies. “I’m Y/N.” You continue as he steps back.

“Well Y/N, do you believe in love at first sight or should I get out of the limo again?” He winks and you burst out laughing. How can he make such a cheesy line sound so adorable?

“Oh dear.” You try to compose yourself.

“Sure, you can call me that too.” You break out laughing again and he joins you. “Maybe I should go inside and save some lines for later.”

“That sounds great, can’t wait to hear what else you got!”

“Oh, you’re in for a treat!” He walks up the stairs and you’re left wiping the corners of your eyes once more.

Another vehicle stops and you turn around.

“Oh wow, hi!”

“Hey!”

“I bet the other guys already told you this but you look absolutely beautiful.”

“Oh, thank you so much.” For some reason you feel butterflies in your stomach, but not like the ones you felt before, there’s something about him. Maybe it’s his beautiful smile, maybe it’s his happy aura. Whatever it is you really want to find out.

“I’m Jaemin.” He extends his hand and you shake it.

“I’m Y/N, nice to meet you.”

“You too, Y/N. And thank you so much for taking the time to meet us today.”

“Thank you for wanting to join this journey with me.”

“My pleasure.” His hand lingers on yours before he finally lets go to walk up the stairs.

You place a hand on your heart, why is it beating so fast? This is too soon to pick favorites! Anyway, you turn around as another bachelor arrives.

“Hello.”

“Hello, I’m Y/N.”

“I’m Yangyang, nice to meet you.” His wide smile almost reaches his ears. “You look fantastic!”

“Thank you Yangyang. I look great too!”

“You’re so sweet, thank you!” You can’t help smile at his adorable face.

“See you inside!”

“See you!”

One more limo, one more chance of love.

“Hi!”

“Hi!” Your heart warms up, this man exudes positive vibes.

“I’m Shotaro.” His eyes transmit his happiness.

“I’m Y/N, nice to meet you!”

“Nice to meet you too! I hope you don’t mind, I brought you a little something.” He reaches inside his jacket and removes a small box with a bow.

“Oh you didn’t have to, Shotaro!” You take the gift. “But thank you so much!”

“No problem, it’s worth it to see the happy look in your face.”

“Should I open it now?” You’re excited to see what he got you.

“That’s ok, you can open it later. I’ll meet you inside!”

“Thank you!” You look at the box again and wonder what it is.

As you turn around you see Chris coming your direction again.

“These men came prepared!”

“I guess they did!” You hand him the box with a smile as you know that’s what he’s here for.

“Thank you Y/N, enjoy the rest of the candidates!”

He leaves again with another arrival.

“Hello.”

“Hello, I’m Y/N.”

“I’m Sungchan.” He bows.

“Nice to meet you Sungchan.” You smile and bow back.

“You look really good tonight.” He looks quite nervous as he complements you.

“Oh thank you, you too!”

“Thank you.” He smiles as he walks to the mansion.

A new bachelor walks out of another limo.

“Hi, I’m Chenle.”

“Hi Chenle, nice to meet you, I’m Y/N.”

“Nice to meet you too! You look lovely.” He smiles.

“Thank you, you are so sweet.” Not only his words, but also his features.

“Just saying it like I see it!”

“Still, thank you.” You bow with a smile.

“See you inside.”

One more vehicle turns the corner.

“Hey.”

“Oh hi!” You’re a bit startled as you didn’t expect that deepish voice coming out of such a young looking guy.

“I’m Jisung and you’ll be happy to know I’m the last one!”

“Do you think they saved the best for last?” You teasingly ask.

“Maybe.” He scratches his neck and you can see he’s a bit nervous.

“I’m Y/N.”

“Nice to meet you, I’ll see you inside.” You watch him go up the stairs and let out a relieved breath.

As you turn around Chris comes to you once again.

“That’s it! Those are the 23 bachelors in a mission to win your heart. How do you feel?”

“A bit overwhelmed!” You both chuckle. “They all seem like very nice, funny and interesting guys.”

“I have to say we had some interesting moments already.”

“We did!” You giggle as you recall some of them. “I can’t wait to get to know them better.”

“Well, let’s not wait any longer and get you inside!”

“Let’s go.” You smile as he leads you to the front door.

-

As you enter the living room Chris leaves you to mingle with the boys. Looking around you see them happily taking to each other and that puts a smile on your face. You approach the first group you see.

“Hi guys!” You greet them and their faces brighten up as they welcome you into the conversation. “How are you guys feeling?”

“Better now that you joined us!” Jungwoo says and the whole group nods in agreement.

“I still can’t believe this is really happening!” You share your excitement.

You go around the room talking with each group that unwittingly formed. They seem to be having fun so automatically you do too. They tell jokes, you laugh, all of you share your feeling and worries about the situation and you start to feel more comfortable and closer to all of them.

After a while you spot Shotaro by the balcony door and think it’s the perfect time to finally open his present. You both go outside and sit on a bench.

“It’s just a little something, I hope you like it.” He smiles at you as you open the box.

“Oh wow!” You pick up the thin chain with two little charms on it: a four leaf clover and a heart.

“So that through this experience you’ll be lucky enough to find love, wether it will be with me or not.” He smiles brightly as you look at the beautiful necklace, amazed with the gesture.

“Thank you so much Shotaro!” You lean in and give him a hug. He wraps his arms around you tightening the embrace.

You two go back inside and continue to mingle with the others until you find yourself on the side talking with Taeyong.

“I have to admit I was a bit intimidated when you came out of the limo but when you smiled all my walls came down.”

“I’m sorry,” he chuckles at your comment, “it will be my pleasure to show you I’m a nice guy.”

“Is that your way of convincing me you should stay?” You raise your eyebrow with a grin.

“Depends, is it working?” He winks.

“Maybe.” You both laugh.

The evening goes on and you go outside to get some fresh air. You spot Winwin talking to Yuta and decide to join them.

“Am I interrupting?” You say in a playful tone.

“You could never.” Yuta replies with a smile while Winwin nods in agreement.

The conversation flows but it feels like you and Yuta are doing most of the talking. You sometimes glance over over to Winwin but he sticks to nodding and short replies. You can tell he’s a bit shy and for some reason that leaves you intrigued in getting to know him better and for that maybe you just need some time just the two of you. Nevertheless Yuta is charming you with his smooth talk and hypnotising smile.

You then spot Hendery on the other side of the porch and decide to go talk to him.

“Should we sit here?” He points to an outdoor couch and you nod.

You two sit side by side and engage in a conversation about your personal sides and what you are looking for.

“Family is very important to me.” He says looking into your eyes.

“For me too.” You smile. “Do you want a big family?”

“Well I have quite a big family, I have three sisters!” You widen your eyes and he chuckles at your reaction. “So maybe I’d be interested in something like that too.”

“That’s good to know.” You bite your lip.

“Do you want a big family?” He asks you but before you can answer someone else steps in.

“Sorry to interrupt, but could I steal you for a minute, Y/N?” You look to the source of the voice and see Renjun.

“Sure, is that ok Hendery?” You turn back to him making sure he’s not bothered.

“No problem, we can finish this talk another time.” He smiles but you can see a trace of annoyance hidden behind it.

Renjun takes your hands and leads you to an emptier spot.

“I’m sorry if that looked a bit abrupt, I just feel like I barely saw you tonight and wanted to talk to you a little bit.”

“It’s ok, Renjun.” You tell him even though you’re not entirely sure it is.

You two talk for a while and then get back outside. You’re not 100% happy that he interrupted your conversation like that but at the same time you appreciate that he actually made an effort to talk to you.

When you enter the house you notice everybody is rounded up cheering and clapping and when you get closer you notice Mark is doing some sort of beat and Haechan is dancing and entertaining everyone. You smile at the scene in front of you happy to see everybody being entertained and just hope it continues like this in the next weeks.

You have a few more one on one talks as well as some group talks until you are called by Chris and you two head upstairs.

-

“Now that you had a chance to get to know your 23 bachelors a little bit more how are you feeling?” Chris asks as you’re sitting in one of the mansion rooms.

“I’m happy, because they’re all very nice, but I’m not excited for what I have to do next.” There’s a sadness in your voice that comes from your faint smile.

“Well we have reached the first of many hard decisions you’ll have to make throughout the next weeks.”

“I know, it just breaks my heart that I already have to send some of them home, it’s like I’m not even giving them a chance you know?” You sigh.

“I understand, but unfortunately tonight you will have to send 5 of them home as you only have 18 roses to hand out.” He points to the bowl of roses on the table.

“So many!” You whine.

“That’s correct.” Chris chuckles. “Do you already have an idea how you’ll make this decision? Are there a few you already know you want to keep?”

“Well some of them did leave a good first impression on me, others really left me curious and wanting to get to know them better so I guess that’s what I’m gonna base it on. But this is so hard! What if I accidentally send my prince charming home?” You laugh.

“You’ll just have to trust your instincts and I’m positive you’ll make the right decision!” He reassures you. “Now, I’ll leave you alone to make your decision and be back in a while to bring you back downstairs and let the guys know.”

“Thank you Chris.” You say as he leaves the room taking the roses.

You are now left looking at 23 pictures where you must select the ones you want to keep and the ones you want to let go. You bite your lip as you recall all events from tonight.

From the arrivals: some of them were very creative, with magic tricks and cheesy pickup lines, others showed how they cared about you even if they just met you, praising your looks and making sure you are okay standing there in the cold greeting them, and others just swept you off your feet with their looks or their vibe.

To the cocktail party: not only you got to know them a little better in your one-on-one talks but also you got to see them in a social environment, having fun and getting along with each other, and that also tells a lot about someone.

You take a deep breath with eyes closed, hoping you aren’t making wrong decisions right in the first week.

-

The men are all standing in a semi circle as you and Chris walk down the stairs. He leads you to a little stand containing the bowl with the 18 roses.

“Good evening gentlemen. I hope you had fun tonight and enjoyed getting to know our beautiful bachelorette.” The room is full of smiles. “But now it’s time for bad news for some of you. Y/N has 18 roses to hand out so that means 5 of you are not settling in the mansion.” You see some eyes widening and looking around. “For the ones she chooses you do have the possibility to turn down the rose if you don’t want to remain in the competition. So, without further due, Y/N you can start. To the rest of you, best of luck!”

You silently thank Chris, as he leaves the room, and take a step forward.

“Hi all.” You smile. ”Before I start I just wanted to thank you all for being here tonight, it’s been fun getting to know all of you. This was a hard decision because I feel like there wasn’t enough time to get to know you very well so please don’t take this harshly.” You then change your speech to a more serious tone. “To the ones I offer a rose please consider if you are here for the same reason as me, to find love. If not I’d rather you refuse it now so we don’t waste each others time.”

You turn to the stand and pick up a rose, you look around the room and take a deep breath bafore you say the first name.

“Jaemin.”

He widens his eyes and points to himself making sure it’s his name you said. You not giggling and his beautiful smile comes through as he steps forward to stand in front of you.

“I would really like to get to know you better, do you accept this rose?”

“Of course!” He replies excitedly and you pin the rose to his jacket. Before he goes back to his place he holds your hand. “Thank you.”

As he walks away you turn to take another rose trying to ignore how your heart is beating fast.

“Yuta.”

A grin grows on his face and he walks to you.

“Do you accept this rose?”

“Yes.” He slowly licks his bottom lip as you get close to pin the rose on his jacket. “Thank you.”

He winks as he walks back and you sigh, why are these guys making you even more nervous now?

“Jeno.”

His face brightens up hearing his name.

“Do you accept this rose?”

“Absolutely.” His smile lingers on his face as you pin the rose. “Thank you.”

You take another rose.

“Haechan.”

He bumps his fist in the air in victory and you laugh, joined by the other bachelors.

“I need to keep you around to make me laugh, do you accept this rose?”

“You bet I do!” He chuckles as you pin the rose. “Thank you.”

He makes an adorable face expression, squinting his eyes and hiding his mouth with his fists leaving you giggling as you pick up another rose.

“Kun.”

HIs smile is priceless when he walks up to you.

“Do you accept the rose? Just don’t turn this one into a tulip.” You both chuckle.

“I’m good with a rose.” He winks and you pin the rose in his jacket. “Thank you.”

You grab another one.

“Shotaro.”

He claps and skips to you making you giggle.

“Do you accept this rose?”

“Happy to!” You pin the rose. “Thank you so much.”

He skips back to his place making you giggle again.

“Johnny.”

He lets out a deep breath and walks to you with his hand on his chest.

“Are you ok to accept this rose?” You laugh.

“Oh definitely!” You have some difficulty pinning the rose so he helps you out. “Thank you.”

 You pick up one more rose.

“Taeyong.”

“Yes!” He says making you almost jump in surprise.

“So, do you take the rose?”

“Hell yeah!” You chuckle as you pin the rose. “Thank you so much.”

As he goes back another rose is in your hands.

“Jaehyun.”

His dimples take your breath away once again as the first time he walked out the limo.

“Do you accept this rose?”

“With pleasure.” You pin the rose and he places a hand on your arm. “Thank you.”

You take a deep breath as you look at the bowl and notice half the roses have been handed out already.

“Lucas.”

His bright smile comes through and triggers your own.

“Do you accept this rose?”

“Gladly.” He bends his knees a little for you to pin the rose and you chuckle. “Thank you.”

You grab another one as he walks back to his place.

“Doyoung.”

He widens his eyes and smiles.

“Do you accept this rose?”

“I do.” You both laugh as he makes it sound like you just proposed. “Thank you.”

He happily steps back with a rose on his chest.

“Jungwoo.”

He does a little happy dance as he comes to you.

“Do you accept this rose?”

“I do.” He mimics Doyoung’s expression from before and you both laugh as you pin the rose on his jacket. “Thank you.”

He walks back and you grab another rose.

“Ten.”

He smiles with his whole face.

“Do you accept this rose?”

“Yes! I’m so excited!” You pin the rose. “Thank you.”

You pick up the next rose.

“Xiaojun.”

He pinches himself once he’s in front of you.

“Don’t worry, it’s not a dream.” You both chuckle. “Do you accept this rose?”

“Definitely.” You pin it to his jacket. “Thank you.”

One more rose in your hand.

“Winwin.”

He looks surprised to hear his name.

“Yes you!” You giggle as he shyly approaches you. “Do you accept this rose?”

“Of course.” He looks into your eyes as you pin the rose. “Thank you so much.”

You smile as he walks away.

“Mark.”

“Alright!” He says and you chuckle.

“You’re not marked in my heart yet, but do you accept this rose for now?”

“Oh absolutely!” You can see he’s slight embarrassed as you pin the rose on his jacket. “Thank you.”

You give him a reassuring smile as he goes back.

“Hendery.”

He sighs in relief and then smiles as he approaches you.

“Do you accept this rose?”

“For sure.” You pin the rose. “Thank you so much.”

As he walk back Chris comes in the room.

“17 roses have been handed out, there’s just one more and still 6 bachelors in the room.” He hands you the rose and takes the bowl. “Y/N, have you decided who will be the last lucky man tonight?”

“I think so.” You as your heart tightens in your chest.

“Go ahead.” He says before stepping out of the room again.

You take a deep breath as you look around the room.

“Renjun.”

He lets out the excruciating breath he was holding and quickly walks to you, almost as if afraid you would change your mind.

“Do you accept this rose?” You smile.

“Without a doubt!” You pin the last rose to his jacket. “Thank you. You won’t regret giving me this chance.”

As he goes back to his place you look to the 5 guys who didn’t receive a rose and see sad smiles and heads down. Chris enters the room again.

“That’s it fellas. Unfortunately Yangyang, Taeil, Sungchan, Chenle and Jisung this isn’t your time. We wish you all the best and that one day you do find love. You can now say your goodbyes before you leave.”

You bite your lip trying to hold back your tears from having to send 5 people home like this.

The group comes together to hug and say goodbye to the guys that are leaving and you slowly approach them too. Taeil goes to you first.

“I’m so sorry.” You almost whisper.

“Don’t worry about, it was still great to meet you.” He smiles lightly squeezing your shoulder.

“Thank you so much for being here.” You smile back and then turn to your side as Yangyang comes closer. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright dear, we’re good.” He replies and Sungchan arrives nodding in agreement.

“You guys are amazing.” You wipe a tear that accidentally fell on your cheek.

“Hey, don’t cry, you still have a lot of amazing guys here.”. Chenle says and Jisung nods.

“Thank you, for real.” The six of you do a group hug and then they leave the mansion.

-

In the next episode:

As one-on-one dates start to happen jealousy rises up between the bachelors.

“It’s not fair that we have to fight for attention with 15 other guys whilst they get to be alone with her.”

“Well maybe you just have to show her you deserve alone time too.”

“You say that like you don’t want some yourself!”

Another rose ceremony takes place and 5 more men will be sent home.

“Five again?”

“I don’t think I can do this.”

“This is not fair!”

“Really!?”

Stay tuned for next week’s episode premiering 20/06!

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

Oh my gosh, Triangle!!!! 😱

(I know, I know—last episode for tonight.)

Some episodes you watch for the storyline—this one I watched for the filming. Those long shots were WOW!, especially the one where Scully is running around absolutely losing her head trying to get the info. The difference between the two floors—I would’ve dearly loved seeing the set dressers run around changing the floor decor behind the camera so it looked like a new floor. (That whole scene was *chef’s kiss*) And the part where both Scullys ran through each other—just wowwwwwww. The filmography on this one was A+. SO good.

And he said it! He said it! And she—didn’t say it back, but I think he knows her well enough not to be too hurt by it. But it was really cute, the way he’s sitting up in bed like a little tousled kid.

Scully, you’d better’ve been listening because your partner just handed you his heart in so many words.

Such a wow episode!

OH YES TRIANGLE TOP TEN EPISODE FOR REAL

oh YES the filming and cinematography is so gorgeous on this ep, even though the kiss towards the end is lit so little... that part where the two timeline Scullys walks through each other and can feel it? ICONIC.

that long shot with present-timeline Scully rushing through the Hoover building is SO GOOD, like... probably one of my favorite scenes in the entire show? and I believe it really was filmed all in one go (though I could be wrong, so if anyone knows better lmk) which makes it even more cool.

Scully is really in peak form in Triangle tbh, she is GOING to find Mulder and NO ONE is going to get in her way — even Skinner. the part where she stalks down to the basement office and goes off on Spender is really my favorite thing ever: "I want you to do me a favor, it is not negotiable; either you do it or I kill you, do you understand?" and then the way she says "no, I'm not [alright], I'm a gun ready to go off." I LOVE HER SO MUCH that is literally my favorite Scully line EVER (it's actually the title of the character playlist i have for her on Spotify, which I should... actually share sometime tbh)

YEAH HE SAID IT HE REALLY SURE DID HE JUST. HE LOVES HER. the thing that always gets me about that scene is that it's not this... sweeping, romantic statement or anything, he says it very simply and matter-of-factly, like it's just... a given. it's a simple, somewhat understood fact, and he's just putting it into words for once, and it really is very simple and foundational. and the way he nods a little bit as he says it, like he's reinforcing the truth of it? babiessssss

and you have to remember, this is AFTER Fight the Future! the hallway scene has happened!!! the stuff in Antarctica has happened!!!! and yet!! only when still slightly confused and yeah, admittedly a little bit drugged up, does Mulder actually outright say what was implicit in everything he did and said in FTF. and when he does, it really is that simple!! if only he could be that open about how he feels WITHOUT a trippy time traveling near-death experience (and strong painkillers).

Scully probably knows he means it for real tbh, but she just... idk I think maybe especially in the aftermath of The End/The Beginning and FTF she's a little bit uncertain in some ways??? like... she Knows but she's not sure.

the way you call it him "handing her his heart".... oh my goodness... that's so sweet....

also one of the things I really really like about Triangle is just. Scully working with the Gunmen when Mulder isn't around. that's something I love SO MUCH bc like... they're such a good vibe. Scully takes them completely at face value and really does trust them, and the way she responds to their wackiness is so similar yet different to how she does with Mulder. and the way they all just huddle around her is so cute to me for some reason shdjsjs all three of them think Scully is the coolest ever, it's adorable.

oh and btw unless you want to get put through a lot of frustration and uncomfortable sexual jokes and references and just.... generally a WHOLE LOT of unpleasantness.... skip Dreamland I and II. there's like... one or two MSR scenes in the episodes but I can fill you in on that if you want, I just.... really really do NOT like those episodes and there's no real reason to put up with the ickiness of them, so. yeah. totally up to you but my recommendation is to skip them (though I am particularly sensitive to inappropriate jokes and such, idk what your tolerance levels are like, so maybe you can just ignore it better than me)

ANYWAY yes Triangle my absolute BELOVED you're making me want to watch it again dhdjsjsjsksks

[pourquoiyyy]

This episode was so good wtf

Like I know it was 1 hour and 27 minutes so they had time, but still, something I don’t like with dramas is that very often an issue drags on for a whole episode or several episodes or a season, but in lovely writer so many things happen in each episode and in this one damn

So much happened???? And it’s very often sadly easy to see where the plot of a drama is going but I keep getting surprised by lovely writer, like they don’t take the easy BL route

This got quite long so…

First, Aey is trying to mess with Gene and Nubsib’s relationships ? Well, yeah, but actually he’s in love with Gene and I really have to watch the episodes again because I really didn’t see that coming, I was so convinced he liked Nubsib??? What clues did I miss?

(also Aey has a very very bad problem with his own self-image and self-worth, he did some very bad things this episode, but this scene of him watching his reflection in his phone, boyyyyyyy, Bruce is a good actor. And like it was a long scene, but it didn’t feel like it, it didn’t feel like time wasted in the episode)

Nubsib is angry at Gene ? Nope, just worried

Aey drugged Nubsib and Gene is trying to find a way to get out this night pUrE? No, my boy Gene is just worried about having sex with Sib for the first time AND actually Sib is somehow just feeling hot and not under any influence, he was just really really into Gene that night

Also so much kissing in this episode?? Like Sib and Gene are in the honeymoon phase of their relationship and they can finally admit to each other how much they love one another. I’m not saying kissing is essential to show in a drama btw, but it sometimes feels in BL dramas that the characters are allowed a quota of kisses per season or episode and once they’ve reached it, it’s DONE, you’ll get a cheek/forehead/hair kiss or a hug, or a high five, but that’s it, and again, it’s not that I absolutely want the characters to kiss, but I can’t help but think sometimes that would it be reality, these people would be kissing right now. So like before Sib’s mum arrived when they were on the couch, the situation they were in really called for a kiss, they were just gazing at each other, excited about this new development in their relationship, but I was in my usual BL mindset of « well, they’ve already kissed enough in this ep » and then they went and surprised me with an another kiss? And not just like a small peck like I’m used to in BL (which again, these aren’t bad, but realistically speaking, this really wasn’t what Gene and Nubsib wanted at that moment) It shouldn’t be surprising, but still it was

AND BAM! The coming out to your parents plot (that is sometimes THE WHOLE ISSUE OF A SEASON, I’m looking at you Korn and Knock) that I didn’t expect in an episode where so much had happened already. So I thought, yeah, they might just pretend they’re not together, we’ll hear some not too good comments from the parents about BL because Gene writes BL novels and Nubsib is acting in one, but nope, they wanted to prove my assumptions wrong again and Gene said he didn’t want to lie to their parents anymore! So yeah, we did hear some homophobia, interesting comments about BL fangirls and how much of a trend BL is right now and it almost seemed like Sib and Gene had changed their minds, but then Gene surprised me AGAIN and they revealed the fact that they’re dating to their parents.

And usually coming out plots drag on which I can understand because coming out to your family isn’t easy, but in lovely writer, in 30 minutes they did so much! Also, in the preview they showed only some parts of this plot carrying on, but I’m pretty sure that like usual with this series, it won’t take the whole episode, maybe the first half of it. And if it does take the whole episode, I won’t be disappointed because I quite like what they’ve done with it already

The double standard of the mothers finding BL cute, but maybe not if it’s their sons. They were saying it would be nice if their sons were actually together, that two grooms in suits would be adorable and that their families would be even closer, but really when Gene and Nubsib admitted they were really together, they went quiet, they cried, they didn’t defend their sons’ relationship to their husbands.

Aaah, the fathers! I expected them to have the worst reactions to Gene’s and Sib’s coming out and also sadly the most « typical »  that we see in series. And they did but not in the usual way it goes. It was really interesting to look at them and see how completely different their reactions were. Nubsib’s father was more about: be careful about my reputation, the reputation of my company and the reputation of this family, and treated his son’s love for Gene like a child’s infatuation that’s gone too far. The authoritative father that won’t even let his son speak and explain, Nubsib could only follow his orders.

While for Gene’s father, it was completely different. He was really really quiet and seemed really suspicious of their relationship before they revealed it and after they did, he just didn’t say a word while his wife kept throwing him worried glances. Then, when it was just their family left, he refused to talk to Gene, just telling him to go to his room until Gene got angry (and again surprised me) saying he was gay (an actual character saying he is gay in a thai bl series, it shouldn’t feel like victory but it does) and loved Nubsib and wouldn’t stop so why couldn’t his dad accept it? Before, AGAIN, dropping a big ass bomb, Gene’s father dated men (or a man) before marrying his mother. As much as this episode surprised me, this shocked me the most lol, I really didn’t expect THAT, but it’d explain Gene’s father’s reaction

Homophobia of course still exists today, but it was even worse when he was young and he never came out and probably chose to leave his partner and lead a « normal » straight life. Seeing your son at around the same age in the same situation but making completely differents choices, choosing to embrace his homosexuality and his love for Nubsib, well, I can understand that he needs a little time to accept this situation and talk to his son

This has become very long and I didn’t think I had that much to say about this episode, but boy I have even more, I loved so much about it. But first:

I HATED that Aey pretended to have drugged Nubsib, especially since he actually wanted to drug Gene and what, rape him??? And then laughing about it? Uh uh boy. Still, I really love Aey’s character, he keeps surprising me and I’m looking forward to his character development.

Otherwise, loved this episode. Gene in particular was really interesting: his conversations with Aey, the way his first time with Sib went (and wow, Sib’s innuendos in this episode, I still can’t get this image of him with his toothbrush in his mouth out of my mind), his bravery coming out to his parents and saying he was gay and forcing his dad to have this conversation and not avoid it.

Loved how supportive the brothers were, trying to tell their parents that society was much more open and accepting nowadays, helping their brothers as well as they could.

On a same note, Gene’s brother getting angry at their father on Gene’s behalf. I loved how their dialogue went about expectations and disappointment in a parent-child relationship, love me some family drama.

Gene and Nubsib holding hands under the table while facing their family’s disapproval

I’m going to stop here because this post is way too long for something probably only me is going to read, but I needed to write my thoughts to get them out of my head

Very raw thoughts btw, I need to reflect on this episode A LOT and rewatch it probably

[measuringbliss]

So I watched The Suicide Squad last night and the first episode of Peacemaker this morning. Here are my Thoughts.

First of all HARLEY'S ROCKING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS OUTFIT!!!!

Now that I've said it. Onto the rest.

I absolutely loved TSS. I hadn't seen the first, but I did watch Birds of Prey twice in theaters. The James Gunn vibe is definitely there. Too much there, maybe? The old pop songs were vaguely justified in Guardians of the Galaxy since the protagonist is absolutely passionate about them, and it's in the narrative and it kind of became a GotG trademark, you know? They're introduced with Rubberband Man in Infinity War. It's their thing. So it does sound weird for TSS to have so much of them too. I feel like it was part of the contract; the execs wanted James Gunn, not only the man but the full treatment: colors, good comedy and songs. But I feel like now, it's really overdone. Umbrella Academy had that annoying "oh this fight scene is funny because there's a song in the background" thing in one of the first episodes, and then the absolutely ridiculous Run Boy Run scene made me quit the show because even though those moments irritated the hell out of me, they still were the highlight of my viewing experience until then because the rest was just. so. boring.

The lyrics are at least appropriate and not too much on the nose in TSS, so there's that. But it really wasn't necessary.

There were a lot of great ideas. Harley's flowers fight is wonderful, it looks like an ad for perfume you'd see on TV in the 2000s. The anachronistic order is nice. Comedy is mostly good. The opening act is absolutely hilarious and I really love Weasel. I'd already played both seasons of Telltale's Batman so I knew Amanda Waller is an asshole and wow, she was great. She was incredible. Loved her. All the actors are great, actually. John Cena was very surprising, but his scenes after the hard drive is found? Heartbreaking as fuck. Fuck that fight scene was so raw, I gasped. I gasped multiple times throughout the movie, I just wasn't ready.

Mickey Rourke's wig is awful, part of the fun obviously just as Weasel's dubious CGI.

"If I die 'cause I gambled on love... It will be a worthy death." FUCK, that quote is so GOOD. ALSO THE RATS. THEY'RE SO ADORABLE. I WANT TO PET THEM.

If anyone asks, yes of course I shipped Peacemaker and Flag, two guys trying to kill each other? Yes that's the good stuff. Also Taika Waititi was hot. Absolutely nobody is surprised.

I did think the music was overdone in the climax, with the flashback to both Ratcatchers and Harley helping killing Starro. It was... too much. But the moment itself was sweet as hell. Fuck, this movie is great. So many great stuff about it.

OKAY BUT JUST BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO PEACEMAKER EP 1

I feel like the "pop song everywhere in superhero movies" might eventually become even more commonplace and it would make sense, really, because comics are a pop thing too, you know what I'm saying? Pop songs are probably an appropriate soundtrack. Doesn't mean I *like* it, but it does make sense.

OKAY PEACEMAKER EP 1

FIRST. OMG A GAY COUPLE. FUCK YEAH. I love them. I love them so much. I hope they don't die, either of them.

okay now here is where I insert an entire paragraph about my thirst for John Economos. But I'm too lazy so you'll have to imagine it. but. yeah.

anyway DID YOU KNOW I LOVE HUGS? AND I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS HUG EACH OTHER??? well it happens in both the movie and the first episode. loved it.

look. about Robert Patrick. I'm tired of seeing him play terrible guys I don't like. but also you have to admit he has the perfect face for that.

ALSO VIGILANTE IS SUCH A PUPPY. HE'S SUUUUCH A PUPPY. Freddie Stroma, I had you on my radar for HP6 and it's now confirmed: you're a certified snack.

what else, what else... I WAS SO ANNOYED I COULDN'T WATCH THE FOLLOWING EPISODES RIGHT NOW. I'M HOOKED, FOLKS. I'M SO HOOKED IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY.

okay I think I've said most of what I wanted to say. thanks for reading my ridiculous ramblings!

TAEHEE WITH WAYV

kun kunhee

taehee’s true aegyo only shows when she talks to kun.

she would call him ‘kun gege‘ or ‘kunnie kun kun’ when she’s feeling it lol

taehee Loves kun’s cooking !!! every time the neos would separate into groups during an activity that involved cooking, she’d beg to be in the same group as him.

(nct world ep. 8) “oppa, your food is to die for.”

kun looks at taehee very fondly, like how a dad would watch his child. 

he thinks taehee can be a bit out of hand sometimes, but 98% of the time they’re together, kun looks like he’d spoil taehee without her having to ask him. 

(180403 vlive) “kun-ge,” taehee skips in her steps as kun turns his head to acknowledge her, “hmm?” “if ten oppa asked you to cut me in half, would you?” she asks him expectantly, and without missing a beat, he replies, “no”. triumphantly, taehee turns to the back to stick out her tongue at ten, “see, you’re the only person—“ “i don’t want to have two of you around,” kun cuts her off with a playful smirk, which turns to a laugh as soon as taehee lets out a gasp. she continued to ramble about how she trusted him, how she felt betrayed. “i’m just kidding,” kun says as he put his arm around taehee’s shoulders, pulling her close before ruffling her hair. 

although they’re not a very popular duo or not seen together quite often, taehee absolutely missed kun and his playfulness (and maybe his cooking too).

iconic moment (uncut take #1 | 2020 yearparty behind scene #2) “hello,” they respectfully greeted, with taehee clinging to kun’s side. “i’m here with taehee,” kun starts, “and even if we aren’t in a scene together, we’re hanging out.”

“i missed kun oppa,” taehee pouts, “kun gege.” this immediately made kun smile, it was clear how kun adored taehee like she was his own child. “really?” and taehee nods in response. “it’s been like, what, two years? since i’ve last seen you. moments with you are like, a breath of fresh air,” kun softly laughs at the comparison as he shakes his head at her dramatics. “you’re just making stuff up, aren’t you?”

“i’m not! i swear!”

“are you sure it’s not my cooking that you missed?”

“well... maybe that too.”

ten tnt / tenhee

taehee likes to think of ten as her twin, but then he would always shoot down the idea. 

(n’-75) “we’re like twins, right?” taehee tells ten before throwing a chip into her mouth. “yeah, but you’re the annoying one and everyone likes me.”

their videos on nct’s dance channel are literally Divine !!!!!! nctzens especially went wild when taehee performed with ten on ‘hit the stage’.

the dirty jokes ..... don’t even get me started. ten would make one remark and it immediately becomes dirty when he makes eye contact with taehee (ft. mark sometimes). if taehee was about to break out laughing, she’d go “UGH I HATE YOU!”

but even if they’re like this with each other, ten and taehee care about each other a whole lot :(

(nct world ep. 3) taehee strained her wrist while attempting to do jump over the vault. though she was able to balance herself quickly, she looked as if she were about to fall; at this split second, ten took a worried step forward, afraid that she’d slip to the ground. later, when taehee comes back with a wrist guard around her hand, ten takes a concerned look at her and asks if she was okay.

taehee also caught a cold while they were preparing for ‘90’s love’ and ten kept insisting he’d make her something to help her feel better.

ten would never admit it but taehee is his baby, anything or anyone that’s bothering her will have to go through him first >:(

iconic moment (jcc ep. 25) “ten, i don’t think it’s supposed to work that way,” taehee giggles at him as he stood a foot away from her while mixing his self-made cookie dough. “no, you wait for it. it’s gonna work,” ten insists while pointing the wooden spoon menacingly at taehee, but this just made the girl smile wider.

she secretly slides the jar of white sugar towards her and scoops up a spoonful, before moving carefully towards ten. “i don’t even think you added sugar,” she mumbles, but his body moves to block her and she bumps into his back with another step. “HEY!” she laughs at how protective ten was getting over his cookie dough, and his stirring becoming more and more aggressive as she tries to put sugar in it, “i’m going to place some so it has a taste!”

ten protests that he already did a while ago while taehee maneuvered her way around him laughing. ten knew what she was trying to do and so he bumped his hip against hers to stop her from getting any nearer. “this is going to spill! ten, stop!,” taehee tries to hold in her giggles, ten was being too cute. “and you’re going to clean it up when it does,” he bites back.

taehee resumes to finding ways to get sugar into the mix while ten resists, causing a very entertained mark to fill the studio with laughter. after a few minutes of trying, taehee sighs and puts back the sugar in the jar, "wow, i never knew baking could be so tiring.”

turns out, ten’s cookies didn’t come out that well and taehee’s expression said it all. “i told you so.”

winwin winhee

when winwin was promoting with wayv, he and taehee would send each other messages asking about their days or if they had plans for anything. since both units were busy, they really never do this and it’s only rare that they message each other, let alone call each other.

that’s why taehee was very happy when she saw winwin again for resonance :(

if taehee was chill about her love for winwin before, now she’d just poke his cheeks every once in a while.

(uncut take #1 | 2020 yearparty behind scene #1) taehee watches from the side as three or four members corner winwin to gush over him, making her give a disapproving shake of the head to the camera. “everyone, winwin hyungie is like a baby,” she nods. “babies won’t like it if you bother them too much, so you have to be subtle with your affection.” taehee gives a playful smirk to the camera, “that’s why winwin hyungie likes me.”

winwin, on the other hand, thinks that taehee changed very much the last time he saw her. from being childish and innocent, she became matured and confident. this is how winwin felt time really flew.

(uncut take #1 | 2020 yearparty behind scene #1) “winwin gege~,” taehee whines, seeing how it would roll off her tongue. “did i say that right? ‘winwin gege’?,” she looks to see that winwin already had a fond smile on his face. “you are so cute,” he pouts, “jeon taehee, you are really too cute.”

iconic moment (201106 twitter blueroom live) “winwin hyung, who is your favorite member here in 90’s love?,” haechan asks from his left. and as everyone appeals to him, including mark who touches his ear out of affection, he already had one person in mind. “jeon taehee.”

song left to right by marteen

lucas luhee

a very very very very chaotic duo.

if you watch compilation videos of the funniest moments from empathy era, the iconic clip of lucas and taehee saying something else instead of ‘yadom’ (nasal spray) would always be included. they had to cut out that part from the live later, and members had to tell them what ‘야동’ actually meant in the next live.

taehee would try to teach lucas some korean before, but then that’s just her talking in korean with an english accent.

(180712 vlive) “why are you so tall?,” taehee raises her eyebrow at him. “why are you so short?,” lucas laughs.

taehee threw a pick-up line at mark during that same live, and lucas asked her why wasn’t she like that to him too. “lucas, don’t laugh but,” taehee tells him, “even if you’re as tall as a tree, i’ll still see you as a big baby. i’m not lying.”

and so jungwoo and taehee’s snacking tradition was actually jungwoo, taehee, and lucas’ snacking tradition.

for taehee, it’s so satisfying to watch lucas eat especially if he’s enjoying it so much. lucas actually admitted that the food that taehee carried in her bag would eventually go to his stomach. it became a habit for taehee to carry some in her bag even if lucas wasn’t promoting with her anymore.

iconic moment (uncut take #14 | ‘resonance’ mv behind the scene) “yo lucas,” taehee greets as she was pulled into a friendly bro hug. when she pulls away, she quicklt takes a look at lucas’ gorgeous features and steps back, “woah, you’re seriously so handsome.” lucas turns shy at her compliment and rubs the back of his neck, “you too.”

taehee raises her eyebrows in amusement, smirking as she says, “i’m handsome too?” lucas thinks for a moment before nodding yes, “you can be handsome too.”

“okay czennies, meet two very handsome people. hello!”

song rather be by clean bandit (ft. jess glynne)

xiaojun xiaohee

out of all the ‘99 boys, she’d want to get to know xiaojun more the most. 

they’re not awkward with each other, they’re just shy to approach each other and start a conversation. 

(sun & moon ep. 2) “taehee-ssi told me the other day she really liked xiaojun hyung’s voice out of the blue,” the said girl eyes haechan carefully, suddenly feeling nervous at what he’s going to pull. “i told her she should tell you herself, why is she telling me? she said she was shy,” when he had said this, a chorus of ‘ohh’s’ came from the rest of the bunch, except for taehee. she had a threatening smile on her face directed at the one and only lee haechan, so he decides to prod her further, “taehee-ssi, perhaps you’d like a guesting on awsaz?”

unknowingly though, xiaojun soon becomes one of the causes of taehee’s smiles or laughter whenever they’re filming together. 

(nct world ep. 2) “taehee, fighting!,” he cheers as taehee stepped forward to arm wrestle. the latter quickly turns around to give him a salute as she winks.

(201120 vlive) “xiaojun comes home and he talks about taehee too,” kun shares, “they hang out a lot.” doyoung snickers, “he fell for her too? taehee tells us how funny you guys are in your dorms, but she only ever talked about xiaojun.”

so yes ,,, they are very shy around each other but as far as we know !!! they’re really good friends who want to be closer to each other.

iconic moment (uncut take #14 | ‘resonance’ mv behind the scene) “you guys have pets in your dorm, right?,” taehee asks him as she leaned back, her arms supporting her from behind. “yes, we have three. the dog is bella and we have two cats named leon and louis,” taehee’s eyes widened, though she admits she feels jealous to have their pets around.

“i would keep my dog with me but they won’t let me.”

“oh really? what’s the name?”

“her name is 뚱이, and she’s a lhasa apso.”

“ahh,” xiaojun nods, “does she pee on your carpet?”

taehee throws her head back slightly as she laughs at the question, bringing a hand to her mouth to hide her growing smile. “do your pets pee on your carpet?” xiaojun shrugs, “well, sometimes,” he nods off disappointingly, causing taehee to giggle. “but we love them,” xiaojun sighs, and his eyes see taehee’s wide smile as she agrees with him. “that’s right, we love them.”

hendery deryhee

taehee finds hendery SO funny, i swear.

like he can literally just smile and nod she’d bust her lungs out from laughing

nctzens found it cute when taehee and hendery monitored each other while they were shooting for the ‘misfit’ track vid.

(misfit track video behind the scene) “ooo hendery is good. he looks cool.”

taehee watched the awsaz episode of winwin and jisung ,,, firstly because of those two.

but then hendery and haechan were so funny too she may have shed a tear from laughing.

a fan asked in those video call fansigns if taehee has watched any of wayv’s videos and she laughed, saying that she watched the one where they acted as disney princesses.

“hendery is so funny, really,” she smiled. “I CAN SHOW YOU THE WORLD!!!!”

they became really close during resonance era and talk about games, their pets, and already have some inside jokes between the two of them.

like a member would just say ‘cabbage’ and we already have the two of them smiling to each other from across the room !!! or they’d make eye contact when looking at the mirror and taehee would just bust out laughing.

iconic moment (201106 twitter blueroom live) “you’re really, really, really, really handsome,” yuta starts with utmost sincerity, “hendery.” the latter brings a hand to his face, his face warming up at the compliment as he sighs contently. this comical reaction causes taehee to burst into a fit of laughter, one you could hear off-cam.

later, when it was time for the ‘90’s love’ unit to take charge of the live, taehee giggles out of the blue, trying to keep her laughs in. “why?,” mark asks as he glances at her. “i’m sorry i just,” she pauses. surely, she was thinking about the funny things hendery pulled when they were doing the live before them. “i just keep thinking about how funny hendery was. i’m sorry, i’ll just eat my fries,” she says the last part quickly, throwing a french fry in her mouth as she bites back a smile.

yangyang yanghee

taehee finds yangyang SO cute, precious, and tiny.

whenever yangyang is speaking, we’d see taehee in the corner of the frame smiling. 

she’s all over the yangyang vocalist agenda !!!!!!

(uncut #16 | ‘90’s love’ recording behind) “this is yangyang’s voice, isn’t it?,” taehee beams as she hears the younger’s voice through her headphones. “i really like his voice.”

yangyang’s such a smiley baby around taehee, partially because she told him he was very cute when he smiles.

fans find it so endearing when taehee calls yangyang “yangyangie” as if she’s talking to a baby :(

(201022 weibo live) “taehee noona and i play games when she comes here,” yangyang tells renjun. “and then she’ll hangout with the pets later,” he and renjun laugh at this. typical taehee.

taehee would buy drinks from the vending machine for sungchan since he’s the maknae in ‘90’s love’ but !!!! she makes a special exception for yangyang.

just a little bit more and he’s up taehee’s baby list ^ ^

iconic moment (uncut take #8 | ‘90′s love’ mv behind) “today is yangyang’s birthday!,” taehee chirps as she held the camera, making sure she and yangyang were both in the frame. “you’re like, 21 now, right?,” yangyang nods, “how are you feeling today?”

“i feel happy right now since you guys like prepared a cake and stuff and sang ‘happy birthday’ to me awhile ago,” taehee smiles at this. “so i’ll continue to work hard with you guys as we wrap up filming,” yangyang finishes as he beams at her, the latter mirroring his expression. 

“you’re so cute, you know that, right?,” taehee coos as she focuses the camera to yangyang (who smiles shyly at the compliment), before placing herself back in frame. “i only got to play games with yangyang a few times because chenle invited me, but now that we’re all spending time together, i think yangyang’s a very cute dongsaeng.” at this, they both giggle and taehee raises her fist for a fist bump. “i know,” yangyang says as he bumps his fist against hers, taehee laughing at this cute ball of sunshine.
