Just Some Random Things I’ve Manifested Since Entering the Void <3

Tickets to Disneyland

More specifically, available tickets to Disneyland. I actually had no idea about the new reservation system they have because I haven’t been to the park since 2012, and my grandparents are visiting us so my family had intended to go to Disneyland for the weekend since they’re from out of the country and have never been. Lo and behold, the website says they’re booked and the whole plan goes down the drain. Well, that’s what we thought until I remembered “hey! Im a master manifestor!” And I affirmed and lived in delusion the entire ride there. I successfully manifested openings for our group of 7 people for passes that lets us take my grandparents to Disneyland to live out their childhood dreams 😌

Winning Lottery Tickets

Like actual tickets I won from the scratcher cards slfkfkdkksls sorry I havent manifested millions of dollars yet. I just bought a couple of lotto scratchers on our way back from California because we don’t have them in the state I live, and I just decided they’d all be winners. Lo and behold, they all had a prize of a free lotto scratcher ticket. That one is on me for not being more specific, but hey free tickets are free tickets and at least now with my new ones I’ll actually have a cash amount in mind to manifest once I get them 💀

Crystals!

I’ve been obsessing over malachite and opalite since forever. I’ve been drawn to these stones for so long but I always put off buying them because Im not someone who strongly utilizes crystals in day to day life, I just think they’re pretty and that they offer good vibes yk? I want to a swapmeet the other day and literally found them at the stalls and so I got a malachite ring and a GORGEOUS piece of opalite. Im literally obsessed its so pretty and im manifesting that my aura shines just like it because it is just my favorite crystal in the world <3 (yes I know its a man made glass pls just let me enjoy my shiny rock)

Just a few random tidbits, all since awakening my power and realizing that of I can get into the void after 3 years of trying, I can do anything <3

Top 10 Films!

(Thanks for the tag SO long ago @a-slut-for-smut! I actually had this entire post written in my drafts right after you had tagged me but never got around to post it for some reason LOL)

I don’t watch many films anymore these days (shows/series have taken place of it) so it took awhile to recall all of my favorites. It’s actually nice to remember though, because it means all of these really lasted with me over my life.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012): A perfect coming-of-age film and story, discovered in my junior year of highschool. First of all I was in love with Logan Lerman looool and Emma Watson. But there are lines of this book/movie that stuck with me through my life, and the movie executed it perfectly. A story of finding belonging, first love, overcoming trauma alongside loved ones, growing up. The soundtrack is phenomenal, even the music score album (I listen to that often while writing).

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): The cinematography and shots in this are just so gorgeous and creative. It’s a quirky and angsty film circling around two imperfect lovers who choose to love, who deal with the heartbreak in a terrible way, and who fall in love again, saying yes to the struggle. And, come on! The idea of having your memories erased, then during the process realizing you want to keep the painful memories after all? And navigating through memories trying to hold onto the good and the bad? Just a beautiful concept. Lots of fantastic lines and scenes. I took a lot of inspo from one scene in particular of this movie into some of the latest chapters of my longfic.

The Fault in Our Stars (2013): First of all, TFIOS is one of my all time favorite books. John Green is my favorite author, and is the only (published) author I’ve EVER gone out of my way to read multiple works from. TFIOS was the first book that brought me to *literal* tears. It rocked my world, this ill-fated story of star crossed lovers. The movie did a fantastic job adapting it; as soon as the production was announced I followed it loyally and the execution of the film made it so worth the journey. Hazel and Augustus’ actors’ chemistry was just SO good. The film STILL makes me bawl like a baby. Pls watch.

Anastasia (1997): A favorite since childhood! Romanov Princess gone missing, forced to pretend she’s the princess but she doesn’t know she’s the princess, until she finds out the conman she’s working with was the child who saved her long ago in her lost past? And they fall in love? So the conman lets go of all his con ways??? BEAUTIFUL. Love the music, love the animation, loved the idea of finding the missing princess and the love story of an unrecognized reunion of two childhood friends. I’ve always wanted to write a Rivamika/Anastasia AU 🥰 Someday.

Tangled (2010): I think as a teen I just really resonated with the “lost princess, aching for more in her life, feeling stuck in a tower, fall in love with conman” trope 🤣 But also, this was one of the first movies that made me just feel overwhelmed with heart-squeezing emotion. (I freaking loved Rapunzel; related to her in many ways) The lantern scene took my breath away and I had never really felt that in a movie theater before. Love the soundtrack and movie scores (did a music analysis presentation on the score back in highschool), animation was and still is beautiful even if it was one of Disney’s pioneering 3D animation movies.

Les Miserables (2012): I’m a sucker for musicals but this is one that I hold special in my heart. Aside from the fact that I played violin for Les Mis productions for two years, so I am attached to the music deeply... the story! The cinematography! The acting! The live singing! The instrumentals! Just a perfect cinematic experience. Eponine’s friend-zone story still breaks my heart, and I watched this movie at a time when I was going through her situation. I fell in love w the storytelling; how it took the journeys of multiple protagonists and perfectly interweaved each arc into each other’s so seamlessly. Also another movie that makes me bawl. Now that I stop to think of it, Fantine reminds me of Kuchel ;-;

Titanic (1997): I just rewatched this recently, after many many many years since childhood where I wasn't allowed to watch the kiss scenes (lol!) and holy wow it is a fantastic movie from start to end. It also helps now that I totally see Jack/young Leo as Levi. Beautiful timeless love story set in history. You know everything that happens and yet you still get so immersed into it.

August Rush (2007): I haven’t watched this in YEARS but 100% this deserves to be on my faves. August, an orphan who is looking for his parents, is discovered for his musical talents on an inspiring journey. Beautiful story about how someone’s passion for music/art (anything, really) can change their life; his parent’s story even becomes a reunion love story. This def had moments that took my breath away, too. (When August Rush gets up on that stage with the orchestra, ahhhh)

The Pianist (2002): (And honorable mention: Schindler’s List) Painfully beautiful movies. Terrible history of our world, depicted with care and pointing to the glimmers of hope in a heart wrenching way that deeply affects you. I think of both of these movies often. In The Pianist, Brody’s character is discovered to be a pianist by a German officer who helps him hide. Schindler’s List is about how a German man risks it all to save many Jews. The directing in both is phenomenal; the music—agh, that violin in Schindler’s List—too. I tear up thinking of this.

The Prince of Egypt (1998): Lastly, The Prince of Egypt. This movie rocked my world to see an ancient story, which I grew up with and was important to me and my faith when I was young, illustrated and animated with such beautiful art, music, etc. Moses leading a slave nation out of Egypt despite the odds. The burning bush scene and this one will always be iconic cinema scenes in my heart. Phew. Pls watch to those scenes with the music!!!

Thanks for tagging me @a-slut-for-smut! This was so fun to put together. I’ve been wanting to rewatch old classics to case-study the story writing and learn from my faves, so a movie marathon after the busy season will be a fun learning experience 😍

I tag: @chaosisbeauty23 @nuri148 @rivaille-13 @bryhaven @levi4mikasa @lady-purpleblue @warbarbie @your-lavender-dreams @nina-bean @onwriting-hrarby @randomposterofstuff @guliplum1 and anyone else in the community that wants to participate!!!

—————————————————————————

previously. . .

By the time the two of you had finished talking the sun was coming up and that made him gasp. “Ohhh no, I’ve got to go,” he paused looking at you expectantly, and it took you only a second to realize what he was asking for, “Y/n!” you said and he repeated your name, nodding. “See ya next time!” He said as he jumped off your roof, heading to who knows where, being chased by the rising sun. You smiled sleepily. You couldn’t believe you just stayed up the whole night talking to a purple teenage mutant ninja turtle, but you knew you were gonna do the same thing tomorrow.

“So I was thinking,” you said as you rocked back on your heels before you started pacing. Another week had passed and you and Donnie had met up every night after his patrols on your rooftop. Donnie looked up from his t-phone, texting back his brothers. “Yes?” Donnie asked when you didn’t continue after a few moments. “Well uh, how was your day?” You held back a sigh as you went back to his side, sitting crossed legged on the rooftop of your apartment. That hadn’t been what you wanted to talk about. But it seemed you lacked the confidence or courage which was kind of strange because you definitely considered yourself extroverted.

He looked at you with an amused smile, “I told you that already,” and he shook his head as he still answered, “I was asleep for most of the day, worked on a couple of builds, something reallyyyy cool-“ you smacked your forehead and Donnie jumped at the sound, “that’s right! The turtle sub! I’m sorry I swear I was listening-“

Donnie cut you off, “Y/n, are you okay??” He asked as you peeled your hand away from your face. A hand print mark becoming visible from where you smacked yourself. “Hmm? Oh yeah just overthinking,” you readily admitted. “Overthinking what? That’s kind of my thing,” Donnie chuckled to himself. “Well it’s definitely my thing, I don’t know I was thinking about doing something other than just hanging out on a rooftop…” you sighed. “But I don’t know exactly where we could go or what we could do,” you mumbled. Donnie was blinking, assessing what you said and then reassessing.

Donatello was immediately on board, unbeknownst to you, as he thought up about ten plans on the spot. “We could play some video games!” Donnie offered and you nodded, “yeah I’m just worried my parents will storm my room if we get too loud.” Donnie made a gesture at himself, “I’m a ninja remember? Stealth is my middle name!” He spoke confidently and you looked at the purple clad turtle who had become a fast friend. “Alright purple ninja, as long as you promise not to get caught!” You snickered and stood up. Leading the way to your window, and you went in first, sweeping your hand back behind you as you said, “Welcome to my humble abode~”

Donnie duck his head to pass through the window. He was a hundred percent sure this was the first time he’d ever been in a human’s room before. Christmas lights were strung up everywhere, along with shelves filled with books. He almost forgot what he came in here for as he approached them. “Ah- uh- wait!” You said stepping in front of him, “video games remember!” You said shaking a controller in front of his face. You seemed to be trying to distract him and your nervous smile only affirmed his thoughts. But he didn’t push as he grabbed the controller just giving the books another glance before he let you steer him to your tv.

“So what’re we playing?” Donnie asked quietly, not forgetting about the threat of being caught by your parents. “Well I’ve got a bunch of mario stuff, mario kart, party, smash bros, world,” you ran off the list then your turned to another pile of games, “then over here I’ve got call of duty, but i mainly just run zombies, minecraft, it’s gonna be a no for all the guitar heroes and just dances..” you said contemplating your options as you gave Donnie a glance wondering if he had any preferences. “How about zombies?” He asked and you smiled, nodding in agreement as you started it up.

“Now I know you're a badass and all but you can not, and I mean not scream when you get eaten by the zombies.” You spoke with a sarcastic, teasing tone and Donnie rolled his eyes. “Yeah I’ll just take note of the badass part,” he smiled as the loading screen came on with the eerie music in the background. “I mean it Donnie no girly surprise screams!” He shook his head as the two of you started to play.

It was round 15, the two of you were a great team, taking down zombies and hellhounds alike. “What’s your high score?” Donnie asked, he’d only played this game a couple of times so he had focused up and had been silent until he felt comfortable and confident that he wouldn’t be the first to die. “Around 20,” you admitted sheepishly but your eyes never left the screen. You hardly blinked, Donnie noticed. When that round came Donnie noticed the zombies were getting tougher and faster. His character was running around the map like crazy, a trail of zombies chasing after him. “SHIT!” You hollered in panic as you got hit and then swarmed immediately going down. You dropped your controller in dismay, “always round 20!” you groaned and watched as Donnie played on.

He lasted two more rounds without you before he too fell to the swarm of the undead. “Wow you’re pretty good!” You said smiling and Donnie smiled back, “yeah and who ended up screaming??” He teased as you sighed, “I think that was an octave lower than a scream,” you corrected. “Y/n??” A voice sounded from behind your door and Donnie was up and moving, wide eyed, not wanting to get you in trouble. “Uh yeah??” You called out, freaking-the-hell-out mentally as you watched Donnie shoot for the door as it opened and he pressed himself to the wall as the door covered him. “What’re you doing??” Your mom said as she held onto the doorknob. “Just playing games!” You said quickly picking up a controller, and moving in front of the other trying to be nonchalant and hoping she wouldn’t notice.

“Who were you talking to?” She asked eyes narrowing as she looked around the room. “Just myself, you know like a pep talk to not lose, never works!” You spoke quickly, waving the controller around in your hand. “Alright well you need to start getting ready for bed, you’ve got school tomorrow!” Your mom said as she started closing the door, “Okay! Will do!” You nodded and held your breath as Donnie came back into view. After a couple of quiet moments after the door closed you and Donnie both let out a sigh of relief. “What’d I tell ya, ninja stealth!” He said triumphantly.

“Thank god, I almost peed my pants thinking she’d swing the door open just a little wider and crush you back there!” You wiped your figurative sweat from your brow dramatically. Donnie chuckled, and he watched as you stood, rocking back on your heels. “Guess we should call it a night,” you said, cheeks staining embarrassed that your mom had unknowingly called you out in front of your friend. “I wish I could go to school,” Donnie sighed wistfully. “I promise Donnie you’re not missing much! Plus you definitely don’t need it your smarter than the whole place combined!” You said playfully swatting at his arm. He gave you a warm smile, “thanks Y/n, if you ever need help with math shoot me a text,” he said as he brought out a t-phone.

Your eyes widened and you looked up from the phone to his face, beaming, “Really?!” you said excitedly. “Y/N!” Your mom hollered from down the hall, “SORRY!” You hollered back and then turned your volume down, “I get a t-phone?!” you whispered happily. “Yeah, it’s got a few games and music too!” Donnie said proudly as you took the phone. Looking at it with wonder and you immediately shot Donnie a text. His own t-phone buzzed and he checked the message, ‘THANK YOU!!!! THIS IS SO COOL!!!! XD’ - Y/n

Donnie was smiling widely as he gave you a thumbs up in real life. “I’ll see ya tomorrow,” he whispered, fighting the urge to stay and talk about all the other cool features that he was planning for the t-phone, he’d definitely have to give you the upgrade first. You waved and whispered back, “okay get back home safe, oh message me when you get there,” you said pointing towards the phone and Donnie nodded as he exited through your window.

Ten minutes later after you had closed the window and your curtains. All brushed and dressed for bed you were getting comfy as you heard a familiar buzz. ‘made it home! (: ‘ -Donnie

‘phew, I was getting worried!’ -y/n

‘pshhh no need, ninja remember?’ -donnie

‘yeah yeah I feel like you’ve said that multiple times today already :p’ -y/n

‘well it’s true :p’ -donnie

‘copycat :0’ -y/n

‘meeee?! :0’ -donnie

You burst into laugher and quickly covered your mouth to try and keep quiet. Then another buzz sounded off.

‘goodnight y/n (＾ｰ^)ノ’ -donnie

‘woah cool one do I have that??’ -y/n

‘nah only for cool ppl ;p (yes it’s under a diff keyboard I’ll show u tmrw)’ -donnie

‘pfttt okay gnight my purple nerd~~’ -y/n

Donnie couldn’t help the heat that flushed his cheeks as he reread your last message. Specifically one word, my. It made him happy. Really really happy, and he couldn’t wait til tomorrow, to play games again, to show you more t-phone features. Being with you had become one of his favorite activities and his missing presence was starting to be noticed by his brothers. “Who ya texting?” Mikey pipped up from Donnie’s side as he peered over his brother’s shoulder at the phone. “hmm- uh- no one!” Donnie squeaked with surprise as his phone jumped out of his hands and he quickly caught it before Mikey could lunge for it.

“Hmmmm sure dude, surrre” Mikey said as he narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Donnie quickly picked up the phone, getting up from the kitchen table in favor of escaping to his room. “I’ll get to the bottom of this Donnie! Just you wait!!” Mikey called after him as the purple turtle shook his head. That was just great, with Mikey on his trail he’d soon have Raph and Leo pestering for answers too. But he didn’t really linger on it as much as he should’ve, no his thoughts wandered back to your message. As he smiled to himself, your purple nerd~

there's a limit on how much you can be an isekai intellectual...

a bunch of analyses have been popping up before me all day so i wanted to throw my hat into the ring. all love to ppl who are exercising their creative minds + ppl like geoff here who just talk about these things because of fan interest but i feel like there reaches a point where exploring the "types" of isekai is pointless? i've seen ppl list out the different types of villainess revenge isekai or fantasy mmorpg isekai but eh why fit them all into separate boxes like that?

i think it's easier to think of isekai as a "type" (genre) of itself with only two categories: 1) a focus on isekai (lit. another world) 2) tensei (lit. to be reborn). this allows for a variety of applications and thus tropes that ppl see so many trends of!

with isekai - in another world

you see everything from:

pure fantasy (inuyasha, digimon wait maybe not the best example but in my childhood mind i count digimon as pure fantasy, fushigi yugi)

mmorpg inspired fantasy/adventure (.hack//legend of twilight, sao ugh, log horizon, overlord (LOVE OVERLORD!)

otome game-esque worlds >>> this is where it gets complicated with "villainess routes" since i admit there are multiple villainess tropes but this is why it's nice to not think of this as a "sub-type/genre" bc it frees you from those complications! (the saint's magic power is omnipotent, the white cat's revenge as plotted from the dragon king's lap soso cute!, the savior's book cafe in another world, i'm a villainous daughter so i'm going to keep the last boss wait i can't remember if she's reborn in this one lmaooo see this is why rules make everything hard)

with tensei storylines - being reincarnated/reborn in another world as *insert character/role*

you see...

the same tropes!!

pure fantasy (a returner's magic should be special, reminiscence adonis, the lady and the beast, light and shadow, i can't think of a manga off the top of my head for this ah)

mmorpg inspired fantasy/adventure (so i'm a spider so what i stan kumoko so hard, her majesty's swarm, can't name another off the top of my head ah i hate lists shorter than two things...)

self-insert based games/novels (fiance's observation log of a self-proclaimed villainess, who made me a princess, death is the only ending for the villainess, the villainess wants to marry a commoner, honestly games vs novels are different applications but i'm not in the headspace to try to remember a bunch of both lol)

*insert line break to give random ppl a break from scrolling but tl; dr just enjoy things for what they are no need to micro analyze*

similar variations occur in both genres (if ppl want to be super technical i guess i'm arguing that isekai itself is a massive genre that has the "another world" subgenre and "reincarnation" subgenre tl; dr) so i think it's honestly a huge pain to try to separate all these trends into so many different types of stories. for me personally it's easier to not get overwhelmed by this gigantic umbrella of "isekai" that spans light novels, manhwa, manga, and mobile games by just stripping each story down into its trademark tropes (aka character archetypes, story structures) and slapping "oh this is a person going to a world that's not ours" and "this person gets reborn as blank in another world". none of this "omg this power fantasy is such a this kind of isekai moment" or "there are 14 different types of villainess revenge stories and this series fits into this" bc AH labels! limitations! circle-jerks via ppl trying to compartmentalize everything and sound smart for leaving a comment on story analysis instead of ooh-ahhing over a character's face! dividing things into light novel manga vs manga vs korean manhwa ft. female characters!

the last bit is mainly why i feel frustrated by ppl's insistence to group everything?

the video linked at the beginning of the post (honestly good video essay, i enjoyed it, i just kept thinking in my head the whole time "marimo these are tropes do not take the genre talk literally") has a baby comment thread talking about "korean isekai manhwas" as a genre featuring nothing but reincarnated villainess' and i can't.

like i cannot acknowledge that as a genre of any sort. the energy i felt reading through some of those insights takes me back to 2012 when all yt americans discovered k-pop and deemed all korean music k-pop from then on! (ppl still do this now, yes you are seen and don't talk to me pls i don't like you. k-pop is korean pop music and nothing less and nothing more. take a few seconds and try to parse apart aspects of korean culture instead of slamming everything into a monolithic label that has the letter k and a hyphen.) it feels so odd to see a bunch of young ppl on ig and tiktok acknowledge korean media that happens to be in the form of a webtoon as "oh stories all about young girls becoming villains in stories they made/played" bc it feels so reductive u.u

(positionality disclaimer that i'm praying isn't actually necessary: i am a 3rd-generation korean of japanese descent do not fite me i am exhausted irl of ppl asking for validation/verification bc massive shove off.)

breaking news! korean manhwa...is just as multifaceted as japanese manga...bc how can comics as an art-form not have multiple genres...huh such a shocker?!?! same likely applies to media in other parts of the world like chinese manhwa and french comics--not my place to explain either of those i just know those industries exist bc of wakfu and donghua shows by Tencent.

at the end of the day it's not like analyzing any kind of isekai is wrong--absolutely not!! i think it can be super fun to think about how isekai elements complicate a story (MCs trying to go back home, ppl from the og world, reincarnation plot-twists) or maybe even bash a series for including some kind of other world element when they could have just written a super fun fantasy.

insert marimo's brief ramble that hey you can get sick of truck-kun's hitting disillusioned guys who happen to be super duper smart or girls who happen to be master chefs/craftsmen but transporting a fully-grown being into a fantasy setting is the ultimate cheat code for making mundane modern technology seem cool and overpowered, and being reincarnated as a fully grown person in a world with a pre-made story/game set-up completely bypasses the need for an author to slowly flesh out world-building in a natural progression so isekai is actually a really smart writing tool it's just that there are some series where the author didn't use it well at all and it's cheesy or clearly isekai was misused as a vehicle for character/story development and it was pointless *DEEP BREATH OUT*

in this essay i will argue...lol i am such a culture studies major!! if i were an english major i would be talking all about writing but here i am having a side-tangent about world-building via someone being reborn wow i love this for me (don't get me started on when an author has someone reincarnate as a baby and the story is mostly them having warm fluffy moments with their family--typically father figures--and getting lots of powers i could and would and probably will rant about east asian toxicity)

but anyway am i crazy????? like yes for being passionate about the technical use of a word like genre (i am a scorpio rising let me be fussy pls) but i don't think it's a lot to ask for ppl to not unironically see "villainess revenge isekai" as the definition of korean manhwa.

idk as someone who resonates with why japanese isekai is so popular domestically + why a lot of korean manhwa feat. the same tropes (it's not for great reasons lads it's actually depressing tbh) i'm just starting to feel kind of pained by the generalization and need to separate "cute japanese girl in an otome game"/"japanese boy finds a harem in another world" from "korean girl dies and comes back as a villainess" bc they are just! applications to the same story device!!

recommendations for any who makes it this far down below <3

// also gladly recommend any of the examples i've listed in the above rant as i've read/watched all of them and adore them v much! //

save me princess

super refreshing fantasy manhwa ft. a princess and her ex-boyfriend having to save the world!

the beginning after the end

an AMERICAN web novel turned into a comic (but see it being not korean/japanese doesn't really matter when you just consider isekai as a genre...isn't it nice to not overthink it?) ft. a super-powerful wizard king reincarnated into another world and starting from scratch--gives mushoku tensei vibes but huge twists!

the reason why raeliana ended up at the duke's mansion

love love LOVE this story--read the title and you'll learn how this girl reincarnated as the character raeliana in a book gets married to a duke!

trash of the count's family

such a good novel!! a guy gets reborn as a lazy oaf and he takes the hero of the story under his wing...plot twists come up later on!

this time i will definitely be happy!

v good and refreshing for a shorter series! she's been reborn 3 times and remembers every time the hero's stabbed her in the back, and now she just wants to break up with him!

silver diamond

older manga but v good adventure w intrigue! a boy who loves plants get sucked into a desert world with demonic lizards and a mysterious bodyguard by his side. shonen-ai not BL but wonderful vibes nonetheless + great side characters!

the princess imprints a traitor

adore everything in this from the world (not in that way this society makes me so angry) to the machinations at play and the dynamic between the fl and ml

[itswrongsong]

A RANT AND AN ANALYSIS OF ALINA'S RELATIONSHIPS:

Let's start with saying that the Shadow and Bone trilogy was published between 2012 and 2014, and this really reflects in the development of the characters and the story. Should I say... a love triangle? Does it remind you of something else that came out in that same period? Maybe (and this might be controversial lol) Twilight? I finally said it. Alina reminds me of Bella Swan, okay?! Please don't arrest me. I LOVED Twilight when it first came out, and I loved Bella, but now I'm almost 24 and I can easily see that a lot of those things that I loved at 13, now I find kinda boring, or outdated. I loved Alina's character, but a lot of times she seemed pretty bidimensional to me, I couldn't really ~connect~ with her, also many times it felt like her biggest worry was who should I end up with? Mal, the Darkling or Nikolai?

I wish Leigh Bardugo had better explored her development as a girl by herself, and not always tied to a male character. But as I said before I understand that these books are from a different time, and as a matter of fact the Six of Crows duology and the King of Scars duology explore female characters in a way more detailed way and really do them justice.

Ok now that we're done with that, let's move on and talk about what I think of her 3 biggest "relationships":

ALINA AND THE DARKLING: Listen, I get it. I really do. Who doesn't love a good, old, sexy enemies to lovers? But baby, we're talking about a war criminal here, not somebody who just didn't like Alina at the start, and then evolves as a character and loves her. He's literally a motherfucking old man who manipulates every young girl who's looking for a place to belong to. Did we forget about Genya and Zoya? Cause he did the same thing with them. Now, I also understand that The Darkling was the only one who really UNDERSTOOD Alina's power and wasn't afraid of her, but at the same time... he literally wants to use her for his plans. I know that there are a lot of people who love Darklina, and I'm genuinely curious about what they think, I would really love to read different interpretations of the story!! So please, if you have any different ideas, comment or send me a message!!!

ALINA AND MAL: Mmmh now we start with the more complicated part. So I know the books were in Alina's POV and she's an unreliable narrator, but God help me, I found their relationship so boring and frustrating!!! Maybe the Friends to Lovers trope isn't the most exciting one, but I think that, if done well, it can be really nice. With the Malina I always got so mad, cause the real problem with them is that they didn't really COMMUNICATE!!! Omg sometimes I just wanted to scream "Say what you really think for fucks sake!!!!" But, yeah lol. Also I don't like the fact that it felt like Mal loved Alina yes, but also was really scared of her powers and didn't really "accept" them? Idk, at the end he was ready to die for her, so I guess that's his redemption arc, and I was happy that they both ended up together, but I wonder, would he have loved her the same if she still had her powers? Also I'm really excited to see if the portrayal of Mal in the series will make me re-evaluate him. (I think so cause I love Archie lol).

And now.... drumroll please... ALINA AND NIKOLAI: Oof now you will all see who I really simp for (aside from Matthias lol). My baby Nikolai, the too-clever fox❤ (this analysis doesn't consider his development in the King of Scars duology). I know it may seem crazy to a lot of you, but I feel like Nikolai was the only one who could have really loved Alina for what she was. Alina was the Sun Summoner, the warrior, Sankta Alina of the Fold, but she was also an orphan girl who wanted to belong somewhere and wanted to find her place in the world. Who like Nikolai could understand this? Someone who, yes was a prince, but also was a bastard, underestimated by everybody, and who had to create a false identity to live in his truth. Who also does that in the finale of Ruin and Rising...? You guessed it! Alina! Idk, I think that if Leigh Bardugo had decided to develop the story in a slightly different way Nikolai and Alina could have been together, maybe he could have stayed as Sturmhound and she would have accompanied him, even though I'll admit that I myself have a hard time imagining a different finale for Alina (aside from the fact that she lost her powers, that I really can't accept!!!). In conclusion, I think that Prince Nikolai could have been a good match for Alina, cause he would have really appreciated and understood her!!

This is the end my friends! Pls let me know what you think, I'm eager to talk about this!!! Love you, byeee💘

nsfw below the cut!

“What does it feel like?”

Zoro and his boyfriend, Sanji, had been dating for a short amount of time. The relationship officially started about a month ago, and it’s been..good. Well, actually, that’s an understatement. It has been going great. How couldn’t it when Zoro was with the definite love of his life, the one for him. Yeah, it was fucking cheesy.

But Sanji loved that cheesy, romantic shit. And Zoro loved him.

They were sitting in the dining room, the vast aquarium of the Sunny behind them. The crew had finished eating breakfast, lovingly prepared by the cook. Zoro stayed behind as they all went their separate ways, the rest of the men on the ship going to play some of Luffy’s famous “Stretch Stretch Seek.”

It was an excuse for the rubber man to flail his crewmates around. Not that most of them minded.

Nami and Robin, however, decided to sit in the crows nest, taking some drinks and books to entertain them. Unfortunately for the two women, that crows nest would never be high enough to drown out the noise caused by the game of their nakama. 

Zoro stayed behind, cleaning dishes side by side with his lover. Moments like those were rare, rare to be alone with Sanji. Both were at a constant barrage of requests and favors of their crews, Usopp begging Zoro to protect him whenever a game went sour with Luffy, and Sanji being borderline harassed by the captain for food.

After finishing the dishes, they both retired to the long sofa in the dining room, Zoro leaning his head on Sanji’s shoulder as the cook petted his hair. Zoro was about ready to fall asleep, take a damn cat nap, before Sanji had asked that question.

“What does what feel like?” Zoro had asked, not bothering to open his eye. He nuzzled his head farther into the recess of Sanji’s shoulder, perturbed that the cook was starting a conversation now of all times.

Sanji took a pause. He let out a deep sigh, and a faint blush was across his face.

“You know..” He let that sentence hang in the air, expecting Zoro to catch on.

Of course he didn’t.

“I’m not a damn psychic.”

Samji grumbled at this, knowing that he’s really gonna have to spell this out for his idiot boyfriend. Which, he should’ve expected in the first place, if he’s honest.

“How does it feel when I fuck you?”

Zoro almost fucking spat out with laughter, and he would’ve if he wasn’t so damn confused. Where the hell did that come from? Why was he asking now? Why does he want to even know? Zoro couldn’t formulate a sentence and just sputtered out;

“What.”

Sanji had this cute blush on his face, a pout too.

“W-what the hell do you mean what, answer the damn question!”

Zoro looked at the cook, just flabbergasted.

“I-I mean..good? I guess?”

“You GUESS?”

Christ.

“Not like that asshole, I just-” he let out an exasperated sigh, really not liking this line of questioning at nine in the damn morning. “Why do you want to know?”

Sanji was crossing his arms, like a damn kid.

“Imayormaynotwantyoutofuckme.”

“..What.”

There was that grumble again.

“I want you to..fuck me instead.”

Zoro's face went flat.

“That’s it?”

Sanji shook his head yes, turning away. Zoro smiled at his bashful boyfriend. The last thing he expected from his boyfriend, the ships resident perv, was for him to be embarrassed about something to do with sex.

“Alright.”

Zoro grabbed his boyfriend at his hips, placing him on top of his lap. He wasted no time attacking his neck with kisses, nipping and sucking where he knows Sanji likes it.

“Oh-oh-we’re doing this right now? Here?”

Zoro let off his neck, just for a moment, to see the cook looking around wildly at the windows.

“Yeah, you got a problem with it?”

Zoro leaned to the side, throwing the cook underneath him, his coat hanging down. Zoro unbuttoned the cooks shirt, letting that creamy expanse of skin be open to him. Sanji shook his head, soon throwing it back at Zoro’s ministrations on his chest. Zoro laid a soft kiss on his collarbone, sliding them down, licking slightly.

Sanji sighed, as Zoro took a nipple into his mouth, tweaking the other with two fingers. He flattened his tongue over the perk nipple, twirling it around in his mouth, almost fucking sucking. Sanji loved it, this soft teasing he’s never been treated too. Despite his brutish appearance, Zoro could be this loving dope when he felt like it.

And, oh, he felt like it.

Zoro let up, tossing off his overcoat, followed by both of their pants. He was rough with the motions, but took his time with that line he licked down Sanji's chest. It took all the cook had not to whine at that moment, his body just feeling warm.

Zoro’s hand snaked up to tug on the cooks boxers, resting his head on Sanji’s navel as he pulled down, grossly slow, and the sight of his cock, just fucking hitting Zoro’s chin was sinful. Sanji bit his lip, leaning up on his elbows to get a better look at the swordsman. Zoro closed his eyes, taking the tip of Sanji’s cock in his mouth. It was all but heaven when he sank down. Christ, and he knotted his fingers in Zoro’s hair, whining like a bitch.

Zoro didn’t need time to prepare, bobbing up and down so fucking good. Sanji was trying to thrust up, wanted to fuck Zoro’s throat so bad. But Zoro wasn’t gonna let him play that game, it was gonna go by his rules. Zoro took his hands, slamming them on Sanji’s hips, making him shake under those rough hands.

“Pl-please, wanna fuck yer’ throat, pleease-”

Zoro completely pulled off his cock, Sanji whining, and flipped the cook over. 

“I thought you wanted me to fuck you.”

It was a question, but he didn’t say it like one. They both knew the answer anyway. Sanji’s bare ass was in front of him, all light and pretty. Zoro was face to face with it, hands groping and rubbing on that ass. Sanji whimpered at those movements, Zoro treating him so fragile. He took his time tracing his fingers on his cheeks, taking pride in those small twitches of Sanji’s cock.

“You look delicious.”

Sanji had half a mind to ask him what he meant, not like he was some meal. It didn’t take long for him to figure it out himself, Zoro licking around on his ass. Christ, that tongue, he used it so fucking well. He took gentle nibbles, making sweet marks on Sanji, where no one else would see. Marking Sanji up just for him.

Sanji buried his head farther into the couch when Zoro licked around his rim, groaning into that fabric. Zoro took his time, not shy about teasing Sanji into that whining state he loves so much. God, his tongue slipped in, and it was heaven. The intrusion was so fucking welcome, Sanji just reeled.

“G-good, feels so fucking good, Zoro-” He cut himself off with a moan, that tongue twisting around inside him. It felt amazing, fucking amazing. That slight stretch, and just the wetness- Sanji couldn’t decide what was the best part.

 Zoro was groaning into him, huffing as he pulled his tongue out. Sanji looked back to him, Zoro slipping his boxers off. Zoro was hard, the boxers he just had on had this wet spot on the front. His cock was absolutely leaking, Sanji’s not doing much better. His tip was glistening, rubbing up and down Sanji’s ass. Everything was so wet, fuck.

“Fuck me, Zoro-just fuck-”

He went in so fucking deep. Sanji’s eyes just went so wide, and Zoro was hissing out this breath. He was stretched so far, and it was wonderful. Zoro’s hands were resting on his ass while Sanji’s were digging into the couch cushion. Zoro was grunting as he bottomed out, leaning over to rest his head on Sanji’s shoulder.

“You feel so good, fuck, can you take it?”

Sanji choked out his words, just echoing back what Zoro had said, “Can take it, I can take it” and Zoro knew he could. 

He pulled out slowly, and Sanji could feel his heart beating, his body burning.That drag was worth it, because when Zoro slid past his sweet spot, he swore he saw stars. Zoro’s breath was heavy and hot against his ear, those tanned hands roaming his body. 

Sanji’s thighs were shaking when Zoro nipped around his ear, whispering so softly when speeding up, “I love you, baby, doing so good for me.”

Sanji was melting, he thought.

His sweet, sweet Zoro- whispering those nothings into his ear as he pounded away was a bit funny. Sanji’s smile turned into a breathy moan, turning his neck to look at Zoro. His eye was closed, lip bit, and he was so amazingly beautiful. Sweat was rolling down him, grunting, his cock twitching inside him.

“M’ gonna cum, fuck, gonna fill you up.”

Oh, it was so dirty.

Sanji was choking out moans, and Zoro was jerking him off. It took less than 3 strokes for Sanji to release, and all over the couch. His mouth was impossibly wide, eyes rolling back in pleasure. It was the first time Zoro had fucked him, but he did it like he knew the inside of Sanji for years. Zoro took pride in fucking Sanji through his orgasm, everything feeling so god damn tight.

“Love it, Love you, Zoro.”

Those words filled Zoro, and he filled Sanji. He was cumming so much, fuck, more then he ever had. Sanji took it so well, so fucking well, and Zoro loved that. That sweet, high pitched whine when he pulled out was music to his ears. Zoro couldn’t help but look down at Sanji, all shaky and cute. His boyfriends breathes were borderline melodic, every part of him beautiful.

He heaved his boyfriend to sit up, kissing at his neck, petting his hair like Sanji loves to do to him. Sanji’s body was just wet, and pretty all the same. Zoro took the time to grab a rag from the clean pile, wiping off the cook, littering him with soft kisses while doing so. That word, pretty, just keeps coming to mind.

“You look pretty.”

Zoro spoke those words, so simple. Sanji chuckled, with his face becoming a bit more red. They had both been working on getting their clothes on, Sanji letting his shirt stay open, because he really can’t be bothered.

“You’re embarrassing.”

“It’s true.”

Sanji leaned into the swordsman, the sunlight filtering through a bit more now. Zoro’s thoughts circled back to where they were earlier, how these moments alone with Sanji really were rare. And how he would die a thousand times over for the man next to him, sink ships and cut through men if it made Sanji happy.

His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on a door, a long nose peering in.

“Are you two uh..done..?”

Both of their faces went red, like a goddamn tomato, ushering to get their clothes a bit more situated then haphazardly thrown on. Zoro was the first to speak up, stuffing his overcoat into his pants as he did.

“What the hell do you need Usopp?”

Usopp peered in fully now, pointing to his hammer on the ground. The poor guy, his finger was shaking as he stretched it out. Zoro huffed, kicking the hammer up in his hand before walking over to Usopp. He shoved it into their snipers hands, a meek whimper coming from him.

“Don’t run your mouth about this.”

Usopp nodded, gripping onto that damn hammer for dear life as he scampered away. Zoro sighed, his head banging onto the wall in utter defeat, while Sanji was burying his face into his hands.

The giggles at lunch clarified that Usopp did in fact run his mouth.

For the series ask, Tales of Symphonia :D!

Whoever this was, please know that I love you ; v ; <333 I’ll keep this at just the original game/series but pls I love Dawn of the New World so feel free to ask again for it c:

It’s this post here!

Favorite character

Surprise surprise Zelos Wilder has stolen my heart ever since 2012?? when I first engaged with Symphonia ╰(*°▽°*)╯ 

I could make a whole book about how much I love him and about how extremely complex of a character he is because. Wow. He gets on such a deep character AND especially character development he gets me every time. Boy has had such a messed up life and I think meeting Lloyd’s group is exactly what he needed to slowly break out of his shell. Friends that trust him (yes they do) and care for him without ulterior motives, just because he’s their friend Zelos, not Zelos Wilder, not the Chosen. 

Really though, falling for Zelos opened a wonderful door called “anime boys with a traumatic life that hide behind a mask” and “redheaded anime boys” and if you meet both criteria?? You’re automatically one of my favs characters. 

I love him sosososososo much ; v ;

Also I’m leaving the rest under the cut because it got a bit long hehe

Second favorite character

SHEENA FUJIBAYASHI MA’AM PLS FEEL FREE TO MARRY ME---

Really tho Sheena is the best. I’m torn between who I like the most out of Zelos & Sheena but nghhh. She’s so badass??? I freaking love her fighting style so much but she’s just. So genuinely nice. She was meant to kill Colette but look at what happened ahhhh ; v ; I really wish we got to see more of her because she’s without a doubt my favourite girl <3

Least favorite character

It’ll probably sound really dumb but Rodyle was the first one to come into my mind just for the stupid dragon battle when he kidnaps Colette.

I gave up playing the first time due to that battle cccccc:

The character I’m most like

I think Colette? I’m also pretty similar to Sheena but I’ll say Colette.

I’m the ultimate klutz. It’s a fact. I fall down all the time. On a more serious note, I absolutely understand Colette hiding all her feelings and fears behind a smile so as not to bother her friends. You don’t want to ruin everyone’s fun due to your problems. Also putting your friends’ happiness before your own is a must for me. As long as my friends and family are happy and safe, I feel good!

I wish I had more of Colette’s self sacrificing spirit though. Our main difference is I’m a cat lady asdfghjkl

Favorite pairing

Look I love Colette and Lloyd to pieces because they’re my babies and after everything they have been through they deserve to be a happy and lovely couple forever BUT may I please introduce you to Zelos x Sheena. Yes. I love that pairing so much and I really wish they were more popular because they warm my heart a lot. A. Freaking. Lot. 

They have the perfect balance between angst and fluff. Plus they know each other from before which really gives some nice ideas for fics. I have read quite a few fics with these two asdfghjkl Tsundere x “flirt” is such a pretty dynamic, especially when flirting is just a façade and there’s so much more to them--

Please. Listen to Rodeo Ride Tour. You can thank me later <3

Least favorite pairing

Honestly idk. I usually just focus on the pairings I like hehe

Favorite moment

I played the game sooooo long ago but I still remember the hot/cold coffee scene which absolutely ripped my heart to pieces. Colette is usually overlooked by most people but she’s so strong for keeping up with everything she does for the sake of others ; v ; The last part where she gets hugged by Lloyd and she says that she wants to cry but she can’t. That messed me up. A lot. I love these two angels a lot, absolute OTP material.

Rating out of 10

1000000000000 out of 10 PLEASE YOU NEED TO PLAY IT. READ THE MANGA. WATCH THE OVAS. I’M FINE WITH ANY OF THOSE.

You get everything in the pack: friendship, love, an awesome party, quicking out some angelic ass 👌

Justice and love will always win ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

[thechampagnelovers]

Cozy mystery? That sounds intriguing...

Okay honestly I am such a nerd too I love learning things like when I was younger my biggest wish were encyclopedias I am not even kidding hahaha. And I had this obsession with gemstones and minerals and I also got this huge book for it (plus I still have my collection) and I think this my favourite part about the internet? I mean it can be overwhelming at times but it just makes learning and just getting to know stuff so much better! It also gives people less excuse to be uneducated which... always a big yes. :)

This instagram thing freaks me the fuck out I stay as far away from it as I can. So, I am so happy I don‘t have Facebook. I used to have in 2012 and deleted it in 2013/14 and I never looked back. I have great respect for anyone who still uses it tbh.

I see where you‘re coming from with that argument. I also thought that him being this horrid and unlikeable character was what made the book so good? I mean obviously he is a... piece of garbage but the challenge is to see the world through his eyes and consciously know and understand exactly why you hate it and him so much. It made me confront myself on my principles.

I think I‘ll binge read it tonight, depending on how the album makes me feel and if I will be able to sleep asjskdk. Also you‘re fics aren‘t shitty. ✋🏾

Before I even try to answer the song question, here is some blog engagement:

I don‘t like how Olivia sings either on the track you are not alone. I don’t really know her in HSM, I should try, butttt yeah... I would like a cover though! Niall ascend!!

Also have you seen this awful Harry and Geoff rumour??? It won‘t leave my dash I am crying pleaseeeeeeee also the last sentence in that ask is haunting meee. Make it stop please I am begging. 😭

Okay I can‘t ignore it any longer: Absolutely agree on: Where Do Broken Hearts Go, Ready To Run, Fireproof, What A Feeling, AM, I would. Nooo they were all good choices. 😭😭 See what we are dealing with here? I am hopeless. 😭 I‘ll add a one favourite from every album, ready to feel sorry for all the other songs when I am done: Tell Me a Lie, She‘s Not Afraid, Right Now, Change Your Ticket, End of the Day. Oh god I hate this already. :((( P.S. Could it be that Four is your fave? Just getting that ~ vibe ~. x

Cozy mystery, I know, I hope I can live up to the expectations

Omg I love that sm 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 how cute is that? And yeah, I totally have to agree with you

I have Facebook bc of uni, there’s a big fb group about my university where I can find info and stuff, and ofc to buy books on marketplace skjdjdjd but besides that I don’t really use it

Yeah! Exactly! You said it perfectly! That’s the beauty of reading too, it challenges you to think and reevaluate your thoughts and it expands your mind. I love how much we just agree

I can’t wait for the album drop!! I’ve seen some songs leaked but I want to wait 😔😔 and thanks omg 🥺 if you read the fic pls send an ask, doesn’t matter what time is it

THANKS FOR AGREEING WITH ME SKJDSKJD everyone loved that song and I’m 😐 sjhdjdjd I only watched a few episodes of high school musical the musical the series but she’s a pretty good actress and she sings so pretty, and I was so excited to hear this song but.... no. girl. pls. The show is okay, it’s a glee and the office mix but pg13, so take that how you want. I do want a cover tho, because the lyrics are great!! I feel a little left out bc everyone seems to like the song :/

I haven’t seen it but I think I prefer it that way dkdjdjjdjd sometimes I’m soooo glad my dash is so curated

TELL ME A LIE IS THE BEST SONG FROM UAN SKDJDJ yes I agree, also she’s not afraid SLAPS! Right now is aooo cute 🥺and I love end of the day. The only song I have to disagree is change your ticket, I don’t like it a bit 😔😔 but besides that song, you’re correct four is my fav album, it’s just perfect

[rchtoziers]

Okay so you happen to have a list of the songs mentioned in lmntsfy or songs that would be on the crews data sticks that weren’t mentioned??? Pls it’s for science

this took so so long to compile because i took it WAY too seriously what else is new also it’s uhh long so more under the cut

eddieok so full disclosure i used jdg’s eddie playlist for most of the inspo in this but i’m an idiot and didn’t realize i was only seeing half of the songs on the playlist bc i was looking at it in my phone browser (i don’t have spotify OKAY) so there’s like. way more songs than i realized and i am now bummed out i did not get to include :/ ANYWAY other than this playlist, eddie has: pretty much every queen album, lots of madonna, lots of cyndi lauper, and the entire soundtrack to dirty dancing

richiei mentioned somewhere in lmntsfy that richie mainly fills his data stick with comedy sketches so notably he has: john mulaney, hasan minhaj, ali wong, and uh other comedians who are popular in the 2030s probably. MUSIC WISE, lot of 70s pop rock, 80s rock, 90s grunge, 00s pop punk (can we just all agree that richie listened to p!atd and fob as an angsty little twelve year old) so. lots of fleetwood mac, eagles, ramones, queen, probably some foreigner, PLENT of the cranberries and red hot chili peppers. also because i said so he listens to the front bottoms and modern baseball but he didn’t include them on his data stick because he was like “we can’t take SAD MUSIC into space” he was very insistent on it

stanso he definitely has like the entire playlist from his and patty’s wedding; i’m gonna go more into this soon but stan and patty got married and then like. he went up into space SO he was Pining. their first dance was to if you ever have forever in mind and stan listens to it. all the time. all the time. he’s in love and u know what we don’t blame him. there’s also a lot of instrumental music on his because he’s a NERD. mostly piano. it reminds him of patty and how he used to wake up to her playing

beverlylizzo. just like. all the lizzo. commander beverly marsh is educated with multiple degrees, has numerous accomplishments under her belt, is an icon to many young girls interested in science, and she would burst into tears at the opportunity to meet lizzo you can quote me on that. ALSO. pretty much any song that’s been popular from the early 2000s to before she left in 2035 is on there. one of the first things she does when she gets home is turn on the radio to start finding out what music she missed

benokay we know he loves nkotb. we know it. so every album by them ever. but also he would have been PRIME AGE during the one direction hype so he loves them. he LOVES them. you can pry that from my cold dead hands. he has basically every boy band ever invented on his data stick. every cringy pop hit from before he was even born to know. he loves them unashamed. he knows every word to take me home (2012) and you know what we don’t blame him

mikemost of mike’s data stick is filled with like. episodes of star trek. also doctor who. but just the new stuff, he hasn’t gotten around to the OG stuff yet. he’s too busy rewatching star trek. nerd i love him SO MUCH. also my boy loves doo wop, he used to listen to it with his grandfather all the time so he LOVES IT. the del-vikings, the flamingos, the shirelles, the penguins, the ink spots, the temptations, all the ‘thes’ (yes, he makes that joke). he has all of his grandfather’s old vinyls safely stored and in as prime condition as they can be. 

billok so u know that scene in stranger things where jonathan is showing will should i stay or should i go yeah that’s bill and georgie and the song is every song on his data stick. bill is a nostalgic fucker so pretty much every song you can think of that exemplifies what the 00s-10s are, that’s on there. coldplay. kelly clarkson. panic! at the disco. britney spears. p!nk. destiny’s child. avril lavigne. you all know. MAROON 5. bill is basic and we love him for it okay!!

data sticks can include tv shows, movies, audio books, music, e-books, home videos, etc, so all of them have a pretty good collection of things that they take with them up into space. on mars richie does, eventually, recover all of them, though he does end up using eddie’s more frequently than anyone elses surprise surprise!!!

anyway i know this isn’t specific songs and more like general vibes but i hope this kind of is what you were looking for?? thank you for the ask i had so much fun with it AND SORRY AGAIN THAT IT TOOK SO LONG

More coherent thoughts on Les Mis BBC Episode 2

this has almost nothing to do with the bombastic parts and is very long so, be warned

Disclaimer, I'm not an expert and this is not researched so there might be things I get wrong here. But these are my thoughts that I just articulated on the show I watched not 2 hours ago

I have two main trains of thought going on in my brain right now

     1. Plot:

The show has to make the episodes stand on their own as well as be part of a whole. So they made the plot points in a way that you could get through them quicker and less in-depth than the book but still get through them all in a way that created a single complete story in a single episode. They turned Fantine's story into a story about how she feels about Valjean and turned Valjean's story into "help! Javert is gonna arrest me". It's simpler in order to try and be effective.

The mistake, and yes I think this was a mistake, was to try and have All The Plot Points of the book, adding a layer of Valvert sexy awkward pauses I guess, add exposition dialogue so that the themes are apparent to the viewer, keep with the themes of the book, add new scenes so Olivia Colman could act (she is great tho), have baby Marius be there and lose his father, show even less of little Cosette than usual, develop an extra layer to Fantine AND keep us emotionally invested while maintaining a simpler and more effective story. This is too many things to try and put us through.

I think Austen or Tolstoy are easier to adapt to television because the plots are mostly things happening to the characters, but Les Miserables is an old drunk man ranting about how much he loves France and Revolution and Republicanism and Romanticism with some scenes in the middle (y'all know I'm only slightly exaggerating). To keep the themes and the plot intact you need at least 19 hours (that's how much runtime Shoujo Cosette has hahaha). To keep the themes you must streamline the plot. Or make montages. Or make the characters talk to the audience about what is happening and how they're feeling, like, say, a soliloquy or a song.

I think the show is guilty of trying to have it all ways by choosing none... which brings me my next point

    2. Production:

I'm wondering if there's a mismanagement of time in pre-production, seeing how inconsistent the sets and costumes are in quality, also how the shots and the scenes are constructed visually. Sometimes the camera is still and sometimes not. Sometimes we have close-ups and sometimes not. The camera lenses the use are? Always changing for no reason? Like you don't have to use the same lens for every take but put some thought into why you're using them, m8... pls... I beg you....

There doesn't seem to be a lot of intent to anything, is the problem. Maybe it's less about time management and more about not having an clear idea about the work they are collectively producing. Les Mis 2012 had the stairs metaphors and the extreme close-ups, with an slightly augmented naturalism. They tried to convey emotion through approaching and pulling away, that was a choice Tom Hooper made and he stuck to that. Les Mis '82 has a cold detachment, the old Hollywood B&W ones usually had most their strength come from the dialogue (it was filmed more like a play then a film) and the actors' charisma. The '98 one had 90s girl-power teen rebellion and Liam Neeson.

I don't want to sound too harsh but so for this series has had only bad exposition, bad fonts and inconsistency...

But this is episode 2. We have way more to go, who knows what happens after this

I'm trying to remain positive so, I'll say this episode was better filmed. And I like Lily Collins and Olivia Colman. Actually Olivia Colman has saved this episode for me. Bless you Olivia!

[justfcrkicks]

01. what’s your name/alias you go by ??

it’s not my real name but i go by cody online, usually.

02. what’s your age ??

nineteen, almost twenty. i feel 12 tho

03. what’s your zodiac sign ??

aries! i added the exclamation point bc we’re supposed to be assertive but i didn’t get the memo.

04. what’s your ethnicity ??

umm what ISN’T my ethnicity is a better question haha. but no i’m mostly italian/sicilian, lots of different other european countries too, and also part native american, but sadly the only person that even knew what tribe was my grandmother who never really shared those details with anyone before her passing.

05. what’s your nationality ??

i am a US citizen :)

06. what’s your favorite band and/or musical artist ??

i can never answer this because i like pretty much every genre of music and my “favorite” is constantly in flux but right now i’ve been listening to a lot of greta van fleet, eminem, harry styles, joyner lucas, tenacious d, and also one specific willie nelson song has been on a constant loop when i’m not listening to the other stuff.

07. what’s your dream job ??

i don’t really have one tbh. lots of people do and that’s awesome, but sometimes people don’t believe me when i say the only thing that matters is that i don’t hate the job and it earns me enough money to live comfortably, maybe own a small house, reasonably priced car, etc. 

08. what’s one place you would love to visit ??

alpha centauri

09. what’s your favorite tv show ??

another one of those things where i can’t pick a favorite. i’ve been enjoying arrow, riverdale, titans, the ranch, sabrina, supergirl, the flash, legacies, and legends of tomorrow lately though. i’m also a big fan of general hospital, the 100, izombie, lucifer, and stranger things.

10. what’s your favorite movie ??

um... tough one but i have always had a soft spot for Joe Dirt, or The New Guy. Also, I really liked Why Him with James Franco, Bryan Cranston, and Zoey Deutch. I mean, not the greatest movies ever but they’re what come to mind when asked, so... lol

11. what’s your favorite song ??

as of the past couple weeks? “cruel cruel world” by willie nelson, or “unshaken” by d’angelo. for weeks before that it was “lucky you” by eminem & joyner lucas. but i really, unironically love “only in america” by riff raff. the video is hilarious and it just puts me in a good mood.

12. what’s your favorite sport ??

is watching tv a sport? haha video games is a sport, right...?

13. what’s your favorite food ??

pizza. or cereal. i have difficulty picking favorites if you couldn’t tell.

14. what’s your favorite face claim to use ??

chris wood or paul wesley, usually. i’ve just used them a lot and gotten used to them. i tried to justify chris wood for john but he’s way too buff to be john and his skinny gifs don’t look nearly enough like john to make any sense.

15. what’s your least favorite face claim ??

andy ballsack biersack. emma roberts. those two bring up bad memories. dylan o’brien. idk why, i like him well enough as an actor. i’m not necessarily opposed to rping with any of them though

16. what’s your favorite canon character to play ??

i played kai parker for a while. that was fun.

17. what’s your sexuality ??

heterosexual. i legitimately cannot remember a time i wasn’t into girls. as a toddler i’d play with barbies to take the clothes off lmfao

18. what’s the last movie you saw in a cinema/theater ??

batman v superman i think. it’s been way too long.

19. what’s the worst injury you’ve ever had ??

i’ve had some bad ones. i broke my wrist/hand in a few different places, which wasn’t too bad. had a sprained/fractured ankle which didn’t heal for like a year. but the worst was when i got assassin’s creed brotherhood as a kid and laid on my stomach across the whole couch, propped up on my elbows for like 7 hours straight. my back was in a u shape the whole time and when i finally moved, that was the moment i realized i fucked up lol

20. what’s a random or interesting fact about you ??

um.... idk i’m boring but maybe that i have lost 120lbs 

21. do you listen to music while you write ??

sometimes. if i find a good playlist (i’m too lazy to make one) that’s not too distracting then sometimes i’ll use it for a while but other times i just like the silence.

22. are you a morning, day, evening, or night writer ??

night. no matter how hard i try my sleep schedule always gets turned upside down eventually to where i get up at like 6 pm and go to sleep at like 10 am, so i usually only write while the skies are dark lol

23. have you ever roleplayed intoxicated ??

nope. i’ve never had a drink or done drugs so that’d be a neat trick. lol

24. what language or languages do you speak ??

only english. i’m probably too dumb to learn another language tbh. though for a while after playing assassin’s creed 2 i’d say random italian sentences and call people “stronzo!”

25. how long have you roleplayed ??

i mean technically i’ve been rping since i was 8 on myspace, but i didn’t move on to legit rp until i was like 11 or 12, then i went to rp.me for a while, then finally got to tumblr around 2012-2013. 

26. favorite roleplay genre ??

i don’t really have one, but i was once in a scifi rp that changed my view on what groups can be, and i think it was my favorite experience ever. everyone was so close and friendly and that made the rp even more fun, so now a good scifi rp brings up those memories for me and makes me enjoy that genre even more.

27. one sound you hate & one you love ??

ok so the sound i hate is nails scratching cotton. not a chalkboard, oddly enough that’s tolerable to me, but nails scratching up against cotton... i have no idea why but it sends chills down my spine lmfao

i love the sound of a crackling fire though. or rain. or rain and a crackling fire. 

28. do you believe in ghosts ??

hell yes i do. pls don’t hurt me ghosts i believe in u

29. do you believe in aliens ??

do i think aliens exist? yes. do i think we’ve been visited by aliens, or that we’re even close enough for them to know we exist? not necessarily. but i do like the ancient alien theory that we were visited by aliens a long time ago and taught stuff. especially when you consider that so many cultures, even those that had no way of being in contact with each other are so similar, have similar thought processes, and progressed at similar rates.

30. do you believe in true love ??

yes & no. i believe that initial attractions can be very powerful in producing a “love at first sight” feeling, but no one is just meant to love another person. i believe you can grow to feel “true love” for anyone assuming the right circumstances.

31. do you hold grudges ??

i’d like to think i don’t but i know i do, at least in the back of my mind. sort of forgive but not forget, but also never 100% forgiving either? idk.

32. do you have any obsessions right now ??

red dead redemption 2. big shock, i know haha. i just can’t get over the ending, the characters, the music, the world, etc. 

33. do you drive & if so, have you ever been in a crash ??

nope & nope

34. do you like the smell of gasoline ??

nooooo it makes me feel sick, honestly.

35. do you prefer writing fluff, angst, or smut ??

all of the above! each has its merits, and writing too much of one thing can get old and make the others feel more appealing. smut gets old the quickest though imo, even though i’ve run a smut rp in the past haha

36. are you in a relationship ??

are you? lmao

37. grab the nearest book to you and turn to page 23, what is the 17the line ??

well it’s a comic/graphic novel so there’s not 17 lines on that page but the second to last line is “and edward nigma... did you know that when the riddler was first transferred to arkham, they had to keep moving him from cell to cell to keep him from being able to formulate an escape?” it’s Batman Volume 10: Epilogue by Snyder & Capullo.

38. put your playlist on shuffle and list the first four songs that pop up:

1. Santeria by Sublime 2. Money Trees by Kendrick Lamar 3. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana 4. Ladders by Mac Miller

GRAB THE BOOK NEAREST YOU AND TURN TO PAGE 23. WHAT’S LINE 17?

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes & Other Lessons from the Crematory: “During kotsuage (the “gathering of the bones”) the mourners gather around the cremation machine when the bones are pulled out of the chamber.” 

 [THIS BOOK IS INCREDIBLE AND VERY INFORMATIVE if you’re learning about cultures and how they treat death. Plus it’s an educational perspective through the eyes of a mortician. It’s an extraordinary memoir. Please support her and learn with me. Watch her youtube channel here <3 Ask A Mortician where you can learn about everything revolving death. She’s patient and very reassuring, going in depth about morbid questions in a lighthearted, but still respectful way.) 

EVER HAD A POEM OR SONG WRITTEN ABOUT YOU?  Yes!! It was so sweet :3 

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PLAYED AIR GUITAR? I’ve never tried, but I can give it a go now, I think I know the right strings to put my fingers on.  

WHO IS YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH? Natalie Dormer all the way. She’s stunning. Rami Malek is a close second (I may be gay af but gorl, look at him!!) 

WHAT’S A SOUND YOU HATE; SOUND YOU LOVE?

HATE: crinkling of a bag of chips or something, long periods of silence, keyboard clicking from far away >:( .

LOVE: accents (any, honestly they’re all beautiful), bubbling water 

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? Sure, my mom’s a huge fan of paranormal things. She got me into death (LOL WEIRD RIGHT? But in all seriousness, she volunteers at a place where you help search for missing people. She’s v nice. But she’s all about ghosts. Don’t bring that up, we’ll be sitting around for hours talking about spooky stories) 

HOW ABOUT ALIENS? Not really, but my mom’s very suspicious about the extraterrestrial .

DO YOU DRIVE? I do! I tend to watch crash videos, I feel bad for them but it helps me stay very cautious on the road. I tend to want to rush everywhere.

IF SO, HAVE YOU EVER CRASHED? I was T-boned through a building. I lost a lot of my memory pre 2012, but I’m very blissful cause I made it where I could start a new life and be very happy. I get random memories and I’ve started to piece a lot together. 

WHAT WAS THE LAST BOOK YOU READ?  Smoke Gets in Your Eyes & Other Lessons from the Crematory. - Caitlin Doughty (Have I converted you to Ask A Mortician yet? If not, please watch a video, ANY VIDEO, but if I may.. I’ll recommend this one La Pascualita. It’s a little weird at first, but that was my first video and I want it to be the first one you watch too. Just give it a chance and come back to me and lemme know what you think. HAVE I NOT CONVERTED YOU YET? 

DO YOU LIKE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE? I kinda do, yeah.

WHAT WAS THE LAST MOVIE YOU SAW? UH, BATMAN BEGINS, OF COURSE. 

WHAT’S THE WORST INJURY YOU’VE EVER HAD? Well.. it was surgery so I can’t say that was an injury, but it felt like one cause it was a huge surgery. I AM SO ACCIDENT PRONE, but like... I don’t think I’ve been seriously injured in a dumb thing I managed to do.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OBSESSIONS RIGHT NOW?  Jonathan Crane :3 

DO YOU TEND TO HOLD GRUDGES AGAINST PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE YOU WRONG? I Honestly, I tried not to, but yeah. I get really angry about certain things and realistically, it takes time for me to forget about horrible things that happened. I think that’s very normal, as long as you’re not obsessed about it and let it control your life. I do get over it, cause who wants to live a long, angry life? D: 

IN A RELATIONSHIP? No, but I can say that I’m always at home writing. Maybe I’ll meet a writer. Oooooo.
