so we can all agree that the newest 2WEI song (take the crown) is the trailer song for an Antarctic Empires Emerald Duo pg14 movie where Techno is a gladiator who earned his freedom and has vowed to destroy the government that enslaved him and Philza is an old demigod banished to a solitary plane of existence for five decades after attempting to run a coup against the ruling class.
They meet on a battlefield, Techno having joined up as brute muscle and Phil having used some minor illusions to pass as a quirky avian and join the bombardment team. Combining some similar plot beats as Oceans 11 and Atlantis: The Lost Empire, they gather a specialized team of insurrectionists, anarchists, battle mages, and warriors to take down the imperium from the inside, eventually planning on restoring the nation to the democracy it was in Phil’s earliest memories. But will they manage it, or will their bloody pasts and violent present seat Technoblade on the throne as the Antarctic Emperor, with Philza as his right hand, the Angel of Death? (Spoiler, the second option. It’s the most controversial film finale decision of the decade.)
The movie is filmed in a style somewhere between Dune 1, the Prince of Egypt, and Topgun. (denis villeneuve is too busy and too expensive, but it’s clear they’re taking inspiration. Bold colors and lighting and a lot of shots of the sky, wildlife, architecture, or of characters’ hands.) It’s scored by an up and coming indie musician, working under the consultation of Ludwig Gorannson in his spare time as a pet project, though his association with the film doesn’t really come out until it Smashes the expected theatre income in the first two days of release and critics start Raving about it. Techno’s actor is nominated for an Oscar for one of the most compelling intricate portrayals of ptsd and platonic devotion in modern cinema, but doesn’t actually get the Oscar.
Tumblr is flooded with gif sets of Techno in the Obligatory No Armor After Gladiator Fight Scene and the Late Night Vibing With Phil In A Loose Poet Shirt scene (firelit, lots of closeups of his eyes, the film is obviously attempting to express his complex emotional state and his deep relationship with Phil, and is failing miserably at doing Anything but making him hot. The internet is ✨gay✨ about it, because when is the internet not?) Also most of the simps are calling Phil a dilf.
Fit MC is the fan-favorite side character, his four scenes and nine lines of dialogue are clipped and edited and giffed and memed into the dirt. (His armor and prosthetic, the makeup and costuming department say, were the hardest thing to do in the entire film, which is why he isn’t in too many shots.) Though, a close second is Niki, who is played by a woman built like a brick house who doesn’t wear sleeves, so…. Yeah. We all know what the response is there. The effects, including Phil’s wings, are almost entirely practical and the only real places it gets iffy is Steve, the giant war polar bear that’s pretty clearly clipping through a few snowbanks here and there. Nobody can agree on which characters are morally reprehensible.
Within a few years, very few people outside a dedicated fan base have seen it and a few assume it’s made up like Goncharov. It’s also, for some ungodly reason, been labeled a Christmas film. (most of the plot happens in the ice and snow, hence ‘Antarctic Empire.’) I guess nothing says ‘Christmas spirit’ quite like ‘unmitigated violence, platonic yearning, and overthrowing oppressors.’

asmr i psychoanalyze hide for fun
a lot of these are just stupid headcanons but a lot are also how i feel that’s just the way he is so
I know no one will read this it’s so very long but hello he’s my comfort character
Tumblr media
(the words are under the cut bc THERE ARE SO MANY WORDS)
thoughts: It’s funny because most of the characters that I really love are just fucking idiots. So stupid. No thoughts head empty. And like at first glance you’d think the same with Hide, he’s got the look of a real dumbass, but he’s actually a really smart person? He just kind of, hides it. He did say he was like allergic to books once (it’s the adhd, king) but that doesn’t change the fact that he emotionally is actually a very intelligent person. It’s something he’s humble about because I don’t believe he really identifies with the intellectual crowd or sees himself as particularly above average, he just finds it easy to understand things. And he doesn’t ever use it for his own advantage even when it would be totally fine to do so, he pretty much always uses it to help other people and I think he believes if he used his strengths to help himself it would be, like, selfish. Which is a problem of his.
gemder n brand of gay: A lot of people in yonder Fandom like to see kaneki as bi and hide as gay but nah fam you’re off. Honestly I do not care about his Date With Rize in the slightest, that man is a homosexual. Hide is the bi one. (it’s not like this is a requirement or anything lmao i am just Saying also i’m bi and i’m projecting) I can also say with confidence that date with Rize was the only date Kaneki’s ever been on and he was definitely lying to himself. (i just, don’t know how you could look at Haise specifically and for one second think he has ever seen a boob) Hide’s the one who’s probably dated people before and he actually knows what’s attractive, he probably just doesn’t discuss that a lot with Kaneki since the bitch is Closeted and hide knows this. It’s funny because Hide canonically has two dads. Like I think that kind of explains him tbh. Bitch has good parents??? He’s the only one but we love him for it. U know Kaneki spent more of his life at Hide’s house than his own.
And as to gender, like obviously hide’s a guy, but i think he’s one of the few cisgenders who could like... tell you why. He’s well versed in those kinds of issues and has just thought about it a lot I guess? He’s comfortable in his skin and with a conventionally masculine appearance but he could tell you what Boy TM means other than yo macho man dude bro guy
personality type- ENFP-T: I took the fucking test for him and it was like... so easy. Took me ten minutes. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
basically what this means is it just calls him out as a fucken loud ass sunshine boy who has very many emotion and cares way too much about his friend
love how this part of the description describes kaneki and hide perfectly
Tumblr media
biggest strength: he’s so good at helping people?? Like I can honestly say if some random person started rambling about their relationship issues to him I’d give him 10 minutes before he had a perfect solution, he had the person crying and being comforted in just the right way. He’s the perfect medium of confident and caring and he’s not just a fucking ray of sunshine on accident, he’s like, mob psycho 100 style actively working to be nice and compassionate. He’s very aware of how his actions affect people and he always knows just the right thing to say, what to do, when to just let things go or when to say them. And Hide will forgive, literally anything, even if someone does something really shitty to him he’ll realize it’s the product of like, unresolved mental issues or something and seek to fix it instead of cutting the person off. It’s... really good for everyone around him. But well,,, not great for him, see below.
biggest weakness: bitch does nOT leave room for himself. Although he is generally a confident person and isn’t very insecure, he knows he’s giving too much of himself and simply ‘pretend i do not see it but in reality i do’. He’s never put himself first and feels more worthy when he makes someone else happy, and it’s really not that visible but it can take a pretty big toll on him. He’ll feel anger and frustration for his problems but eventually he will end up blaming himself for anything that goes wrong and will just resolve to Try Harder. (which, mood) He does problem solve well and he tries to come up with the best solutions to issues but the fact is he just does not prioritize his own happiness within those solutions. He gives too much and it’s fucking killing him.
what he likes most about himself: Although he does have issues obviously, I don’t see Hide as someone who has particularly low esteem of himself. I think he pretty much thinks he has himself figured out and therefore other people’s problems come first. He generally does, think fondly of himself, because most of the time he can fix people’s problems so he’s yknow, a good person. I think he likes his ability to enjoy life and live in the moment, and he likes his connections and friendships with other people. He values emotional connection and he likes that he can easily create and enjoy good vibes. He loves being the one who everyone just... goes to for a good time.
favorite things: I think I heard somewhere that he enjoys dumb american bands without really understanding what they’re saying which seems very on brand for him, but I’m gonna perscribe him some other stuff too. Obviously he likes bright colors and comic books, and places where he can have fun with other people. He generally likes college, even though it’s like, school, and unlike kaneki he actually had a good childhood and he enjoys the places he spent time and formed good memories, he has Nostalgia TM (see unbelievable by owl city hmmm he vibes to that he was born in 1996 or something right i can’t google things) he also just really likes to just, fix other people’s problems but we’ve covered that. 
what he’s doing right and what he’s doing wrong: Hide is doing his best. He’s no less flawed than any of the other characters in tokyo ghoul, it’s just that his strategies tend to involve 100% less murder. Ok no, let me rephrase that, Hide is flawed, but i meant like emotionally, he’s not a war criminal like everyone else. He may seem at first glance like, just, perfect? Sorry for being a simp lmao but I feel like from the outside he’s just got it all together right? He knows what he’s doing and he’s super nice and helpful and smart and humble and just doesn’t have any visible flaws? He... tends to hide any evidence that he would ever be struggling. And that’s not very sexy of him. He feels it would be a burden on others to show pain or ever say he can’t take something on (if someone asked him to do something he’d do it even if he was already mentally at capacity etc) and that’s something he needs to work on. The good thing is that if they got to a point where after Kaneki’s Character Development they got to just... like, be happy and not be separated and everything Kaneki would be good for him because he compliments that. Hide helps him because he needs a lot of like, mental counseling lmao but now that Kaneki’s gone through a lot of that his eyes have been opened more to the fact that Hide hides his problems from Kaneki so if they could just bE HAPPY this is an issue that could be resolved
insecurities: I think Hide kind of believes he’s not allowed to be sad. Cause it’s like, not his job. He’s the source of happiness for everyone else, supposed to have everything together so he can fix everyone else’s problems. he’s not allowed to be in pain or feel bad for himself even though he knows “Boys Can Cry” it’s like, yes boys can cry, not me tho haha lmao it’s not about his masculinity it’s just he’s like “yeah but kaneki’s had it worse” so like if he finds himself in a bad place, he feels inadequate and like... fundametally broken. and it’s. Like. I felt that but also like king that’s not how it works
goal in life: I think he wouldn’t really be able to answer that question. What the truth would be is that he probably wants to do something grand and important that helps a lot of people and kind of changes the world. But he might not really think of it that way, since he’s usually focused more on smaller more isolated issues and he has no idea what he wants to do as a career. He admires activists and people who put themselves at risk but it probably makes him feel inferior that someone else is Doing Something About This Big Problem and he’s just sitting there riding around on his bisexual bike and being in college. (I’d like to say he’s probably changed majors at least a few times,,, that man was like “oh yeah lmao i’m gonna be a comic book artist” but someone said something about how he’s a good therapist and he’s like “brb kinshift i am now a psychology major” lmao.) (hello i am projecting but i’m right) He sees a tumblr post about some issue somewhere and he hyperfixates on it for days until he sees another post about something worse it’s an issue. But I think what he ended up doing was what he wanted to, even if he never recieved any recognition for it the internal sense that he was doing something Right TM in the eyes of history would probably make him cry
how he was raised: I can’t really say much to this because there’s barely any canon on this and the canon that does exist I have completely ignored other than the fact that he has two dads. Bro tbh? He didn’t need any tragic emo backstory I think he had a great childhood. Honestly he’s probably a rich kid. Not super rich but he’s not struggling man. Not gonna lie to you I think the only reason he went to Kamii was because he wanted to be at the same college as Kaneki who probably got a scholarship. Hide, didn’t. (it’s not like he’s not intelligent but I don’t really think that his grades are his biggest priority, the only time he ever pays attention in class is to give kaneki the answers when he’s gone) 
What irks me about the random lore drop in the last chapter about him having a CCG dad that died or whatever- it kind of ruins the whole point for me. Personally I choose to believe he had nothing whatsoever to do with ghouls or the ccg before all that happened to Kaneki. He probably had correct opinions on them, but only like, in theory, it’s like straight people that are like “yeah ofc gay ppl valid” but they’ve never really had any personal experience with any. So when he gets involved in that- the fact is that the only reason he was... was bc of kaneki. It was never more complicated than that to me. YKNOW, SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST, NICE, OK? 
And I think for me that the fact that he could actively choose to be nice and be aware of all these problems when he’s practically got every advantage in life is a lot more important. He didn’t have to be poor or have a dead parent or have a shitty childhood for him to be really genuinely good. I don’t think he’s ever been bullied or anything, but he can still be aware that it sucks to be bullied. I think he was just... raised right. I think his dads are probably pretty fucking baller for him to be such a bro. They taught him the right shit.
General philosophy: Hide is one of the only people in the series for whom the dynamics of right and wrong are not hard to understand. He’s never been required to pick up a weapon or actually truly fight in the CCG, he’s never been really mean to anyone. Of course I can say he’s probably decked a few ppl that made fun of Kaneki in middle school, but haven’t we all. The thing is that though he’s never suffered at the hands of others, everything that’s hurt him he’s gone in fully consenting to it- he can still understand and forgive what everyone else has done. Like bro he’s the literal only one around who’s not like a literal war criminal, but he’s not going to think he’s better because of it, because he understands that if he had been in their circumstances he couldn’t say how he would have turned out. 
That’s why I think it’s so important that he never really had a bad childhood- he’s not better than them for turning out without any blood on his hands, because he was never required to. And he knows that and he goes through every day with all these people who have and is conscious of it. He can’t ever say he’s incapable of hurting other people, because he would have said that about Kaneki before all of it happened. So he’s quite politically correct compared to Kaneki and the others but he doesn’t see things that way.
relationship bullshit: i mean bro i know this is a serious post about like psychological and emotional things but i felt the need to discuss whY does everyone write hide as a bottom I mean like sure he’d bottom if his partner was a top but this is simply not the case with kaneki look at him. Hide. Service top. I rest my case. The man’s the biggest switch ever but when he’s a top he’s a nice top. I think Kaneki needs that to be perfectly honest. He really likes to take care of people. Also kind of off topic but his love language is quality time he just wants to play video games wit da homies and he might fall in love a bit
I find it genuinely funny how much i cannot get away from the tentacle porn on the god forsaken archive of our own just looking at the tags i already know it’s so out of character haitoheoihesdsdsa and don’t get me started on the vore
how kaneki sees him vs how he actually is: One of the biggest problems in kaneki and hide’s relationship is how in the beginning, Kaneki didn’t really understand at all that Hide could be hiding anything from him. Kaneki’s not good at picking up clues like that in general, but the fact that he was hiding so much himself didn’t help at all. Hide gives off the vibe of someone who has no inhibitions and shows every side of himself without hesitation, and Kaneki really does idolize that. He didn’t realize that Hide could possibly be suffering or imperfect compared to his vision. He sees Hide as practically an angel, and that’s exactly how Hide wants Kaneki to see him, because he doesn’t want to burden Kaneki with his own problems since he believes they’re not as important and they would make Kaneki sad. Kaneki knew Hide wasn’t as oblivious as he seemed, but he didn’t really understand what that meant until too late. The good thing about Kaneki’s character development though is that it then helps Kaneki understand that Hide was suffering because of him and he didn’t want Hide to hide it anymore (lmao). If they’d only executed that point well that could have been really good but well that’s what fanfic is for
how he sees kaneki vs how kaneki actually is: This one’s a lot more difficult, because well. Hide’s very good at knowing exactly how people are in their hearts, compared to Kaneki. But there are definitely some things that he’s not super up on. He wasn’t around for a lot of Kaneki’s development, so most of the time I think he still believes Kaneki doesn’t want to see his pain, which is, simply incorrect, Kaneki would obviously not be happy to hear it but it would tear him up inside to realize he’s been oblivious to it the whole time. He’s grown a lot more mature since he spent most of his time with Hide, and I really think Hide could benefit from being able to open up to Kaneki the way he is now. And well. I think his biggest misconception has to be that Kaneki enjoyed women lmao
the most him thing i’ve ever done: listening to a happy upbeat song and visibly bopping while also uncontrollably sobbing
miscellaneous headcanons: 
-he’s a morning person lmao. Motherfucker gets up at 6 AM and Kaneki is like PL EA SE NO
-what he finds attractive is like. twinks and girls with hair in colors that don’t exist and ppl who don’t know what gender is
-He likes Imagine Dragons lmao you can see by the next point
-his coping mechanisms are mostly music and other people tbh he’s like “oh i am having emotions? disgusting” *goes to a party*
-he plays dnd and he mains a warlock i don’t make the rules
-he doesn’t look like someone who would do that shit but he probably knows how to use tarot cards
-idk how but that motherfucker is so neurodivergent i can smell the hyperempathy on him look at that man he has so much adhd
-he’s fully aware that his fashion sense is terrible and continues to wear more and more ridiculous clothes to piss kaneki off
-this man has tungle dot fuck. Look at him. His url is probably something along the lines of my ao3 username lmao
-he can see the forbidden shrimp colors smh
-this bitch likes mob psycho 100 and the promised neverland, kaneki keeps telling him to watch death note and he’s just like n   o hhsdfhhfdshdfshdfs he probably kins tpn emma
-he doesn’t know how to drive lmao he bikes everywhere and he lives in tokyo
-i am once again thinking about how he was in a play with kaneki and kaneki was the main character and he was the spicy side character that’s not a headcanon just. that
songs that are, him: 
-Stand By You (Rachel Platten)
-Luck (American Authors)
-Love (Imagine Dragons)
-If I Lose Myself (One Republic)
-Stardust (New Politics)
-Secrets (also one republic)
-Flaws (Bastille)
-100 Bad Days (AJR)
-I Lived (another one republic lmao)
-Battle Scars (Paradise Fears)
-Rise Up (Imagine Dragons)
yeah he definitely listens to this shit lmao

FAVES & FAILS: #1 (Teen Wolf)
I’ve decided to do this questionnaire when a show/book series/movies where I answer these questions with fun gifs too (its Tumblr, what did you expect?), if you want more info, the original idea post with links to each of my completed lists is here ⚡️. A bunch of my faves have already ended so getting all of these out will take a minute, but I’m aiming to post a new one twice per week. 🤞🏻Anyway, enjoy!! OH!! ALSO, I’ll be discussing plot elements in this list so...SPOILER ALERT!!
Tumblr media
TV Show FAVES and FAILS: TEEN WOLF
FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER: STILES STILINSKI
HANDS DOWN, no question about it! He was the soul of the show, and funny, and so incredibly human on a show full of the inhuman, and that was what made him so integral.  Anyway, I could go on forever about how much I love Stiles, but here’s a gif:
Tumblr media
LEAST FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER: GERARD ARGENT
There isn’t really a male that makes me want to punch something, so good for the writers, I guess?
Tumblr media
FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER: LYDIA MARTIN
I really want to say Allison but it HAS to be Lydia, hands down! Her character development from a girl pretending to be vapid and shallow and who hid her genius so she could “fit in”, to a strong, powerful, confident woman secure in who she really is and the power inside of her (figuratively AND literally, lol), this girl is the real MVP.
Tumblr media
LEAST FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER: MONROE
This was hard because there are several female characters that made me want to throw my laptop out of the window.  The short list is Kate Argent, Allison’s mom... I could go on... but Monroe’s systematic attempt to wipe all supernaturals out of Beacon Hills and then maybe the rest of the world gave me fucking high blood pressure and a rage issue. I don't care how “scared” you are, killing a kid who hasn't done anything wrong just because they are different than you is some fucked up, borderline genocidal bullshit. And she survived the finale!!? Like I had to deal with her self-righteous smirky attitude and you didn't even have the decency to punch her in the face and let me watch?!? Rude.
Tumblr media
THE CHARACTER THAT DESERVED BETTER: Aiden (and kind of Ethan)
I badly want to say Allison again here because I love and miss her tons. But she died protecting her family and friends and I believe that she is happy wherever she went afterward.  Watching Aiden die in his twin brother’s arms I don’t know who I felt the worst for.  The boy dying, or his brother who now has to live without him... I’m gonna go cry now, brb.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
THE DEADWEIGHT CHARACTER WE SHOULD’VE DUMPED IN 2009: Kate Argent
Luckily she was not a regularly appearing character, but when she showed up it was always “for revenge” and I'm like...can we just...not this season? I was having a lovely time and then you showed up with your petty anger for whatever fucking shit that happened in, like season one.  Like, honey... if it’s been so long since you’ve been relevant that I have to google what you’re upset about because I have honestly forgotten...maybe it’s time to let that shit go.  Kindly fuck off now, please...
Tumblr media
OVERHYPED CHARACTER: Derek Hale
Like, don’t get me wrong, he’s great and I loved when he was on the show, but I feel like some people think he carried the show and it wouldn't survive without him.  Well, surprise! because he went away after season 4 and I still think some of their best shit came in season 5 and the beginning of season 6.  
Tumblr media
UNDERHYPED CHARACTER: Deaton
Um, he was basically Scott’s druid emissary and he got no recognition for it.  He saved all of the main pack members’ lives at least once.  Also he didn't make Stiles pay for the windows, so he’s apparently not an asshole. 
Tumblr media
OVERHYPED SHIP: Scott and Malia
I feel like they had to adjust the final season A TON because of Dylan’s injury and Kira not coming back and I think the writers panicked when they didn't know who to put Scott with (because our leading man could never not have a girlfriend, *gasp* THE HORROR!) because Lydia needed to be with Stiles and I think they picked Malia because she was basically the only one left...I was never into it.  In fact, when my friend texted me after we watched the episode where they get together, my response back to her was literally “meh 🤷🏻‍♀️”.
Tumblr media
UNDERHYPED SHIP: Allison and Isaac
It would’ve been so nice to see where that relationship went.  Don’t get me wrong, had she lived, I would’ve wanted Allison to end up with Scott.  But I loved that the show was willing to say that it is okay to fall in love more than once in your life.  Sometimes the shows aimed at a younger audience have a tendency to act like your first love has to be the one you’re with until you die and that’s just not realistic. It was nice that the writers didn't box these characters into that mold because it gave them more depth as characters. 
Tumblr media
FAVORITE SHIP: Stiles and Lydia
I don’t know how to explain how much I love this pairing.  Like, from the beginning he saw her for how amazing she was and he supported her as she came into her powers and then she was always there making sure that someone was taking care of him when he was taking care of, literally, everyone else, and then when he disappeared SHE KNEW something was wrong nearly instantly, and ‘remeMBER I LOVE YOU’ I need to stop before this run-on sentence goes on forever.  ALSO they’re canon official, which never fucking happens for my ships so I’m fucking excited, sue me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
FAVORITE VILLAIN: Deucalion
His backstory was well-developed and deep, he was clear with his goals, he actually executed said goals in a logical and timely manner, he was a fucking ALPHA OF ALPHAS, nuf said. 
Tumblr media
MOST HEARTBREAKING MOMENT: Allison’s Death
Hands down, the most heartbreaking moment on the show, and I will fight anyone who comes at me with a different opinion. Because like--she was smiling when she was stabbed because she had figured out a way to help her friends and then she died in Scott’s arms and told him she loved him even though they weren’t together she still loved him and he still loved her, and I truly believe that she had zero regrets when she died, and how bittersweet is that???!  But Scott couldn't take her pain because it didn’t hurt anymore, and Lydia had to feel her best friend die and she screamed Allison’s name and if you are not hurting right now are you a monster???!?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
FAVORITE STORYLINE: Eichen House Escape/Dread Doctors in Season 5
It was hard to pick between the Dark Druid storyline in season 3A, but the Eichen rescue/Lydia learning how to be a BAMF Banshee from Meredith while she was catatonic (ALSO ‘Stiles saved me’ I AM DEAD!!!), and the whole la bête du gévaudan thing was great, and reuniting the pack after Theo had royally fucked it up earlier that season, it was all just superb! *chef’s kiss*
Tumblr media
STORYLINE WE COULD’VE DONE WITHOUT: Like, the whole second half of the last season, TBH
It was a petty, counterintuitive, and just garbage. The monster was dumb, Monroe is a royal twat (as I stated above), and it didn't have a conclusion.  Like, the fuck? This isn't Game of Fucking Thrones you guys do not need to leave every season finale with so many loose ends it make people want to throw their laptops off of a cliff into a vat of hydrochloric acid.  And it was the LAST SEASON so there’s no hope of fixing this bullshit storyline. ugh, kill me now. 
BIGGEST PLOTHOLE: Scott’s pretty selective “True Alpha” powers
They, like, kind of tried to pass it off as it taking a ton of energy so he can’t always do it all the time.  But he got through a mountain ash barrier to save Deaton and activated his True Alpha but then couldn't get into Eichen to get Lydia out because of the mountain ash...? oh and also where the fuck did Cora and Isaac go? (I, sincerely, hope he’s not still just chinning in fucking France wondering were Argent fucked off to)
Tumblr media
OVERALL MARKS OUT OF TEN (10 being that watching this show has probably increased your life’s worth by at least five percent; 1 being the only thing this show has given me is a stomach ulcer and trust issues): 
8.75 out of 10.  This show was a blessing and I would definitely recommend it to other people. (mostly because I love to get people hooked on my favorite shows and then they're stuck and we can be tortured together). 
Tumblr media
THE END! Thanks for reading my overly-long and overly-obsessive list.  Do come again soon.  I’ll probably have another of these up next week.  🤍🤍🤍

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT WAS THE BEST HEADCANON I'VE EVER READ! I LOVE IT SO MUCH I ALMOST CRIED. YOU ARE SUCH A TALENTED WRITER JXKYDKYDKYDKYDITDTI I'M DYING RN OML. CAN YOU DO A RELATIONSHIP HEADCANON FOR BANRI AS WELL GXJGXJFXJTZ YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL BLESS YOUR SOUL❤️💜💕💖♥️💙💛🧡💗💚
Request:
Tumblr media
A/N: damn you really making my heart go monika huh??? ily sm you’re so nice i- 🥺🥺💖💖 i’m all emo now brb gonna cry
————🌷————
To Date Banri Settsu:
- You mean trash man? (I’m so sorry I’m a Juza stan-)
- You guys started dating after you rejected him at least 4 times.
- And I mean reject him, no small giggles like “uwu maybe~” I’m talking; “Lmao no eat a dick”
- He’ll 100% come off as an arrogant little shit who thinks he’s the best thing ever and totally reminds you how lucky you are you’re dating him.
- (Totally says it to discredit the fact he’s head over heels for you, he would absolutely beat anyone up for you if you asked but that’s for another troupe).
- Dating Banri would lowkey be the best and worst thing ever;
- He can be extremely thoughtful and nice, he obviously cares about you to death...
- But you’re also going to be having to babysit him,,, like… literal babysitting.
- You’ll have to get used to having a backpack filled with snacks and first-aid kits, have your phone filled with games for him too.
- This boy does not know how to NOT get into fights, especially when you’re around or when the challenger somehow shoves you into the fight (catcalling, bothering you, etc).
- He has such a short temper it’s legitimately annoying to deal with him outside of the dorm because there Sakyo or Izumi keep him in check.
- He’ll win, the only person who can beat his ass is Juza, but that doesn’t mean he won’t get hurt. He’s strong not made out of iron.
- Get ready to sit him down on a park bench while he eats a popsicle you bought him so he’d shut up while you patch him up.
- “Come on, he had it coming plus I beat his ass real nice-! Aw, shit [Name] stop rubbing the cut so much! You tryin’ to patch me up or kill me?”
- You know how he and Itaru are basically shut in gamer boys? Now you’ve got to deal with Banri and his stinky smelling ass when he shuts himself off playing video games.
- Get ready to get Sakyo and Omi to drag his ass to get a shower.
- You bet your ass he will make you wash his hair, but in return you make him wear boxers with some floaters and now he feels like a toddler.
- Bonus points if you fill up the tub with bubbles and kid toys, that’ll make him extra embarrassed and you bet your ass Tenma and Juza will pay you to let them in.
- “I’m 17, [Name], you don’t have to treat me like a kid!”
- “Maybe stop acting like one??”
- “Can’t believe you’re dating your babysitter Settsu.”
- “Hyodo shut the fuck up before I throw Mr. Duck at you!”
- Juza and you will eventually bond and become best friends, much to Settsu’s distaste, probably over having to deal with his bullshit.
- He’s his roommate and you’re his girlfriend; you’re both basically babysitters (that is until Juza and Banri start fighting and now you’re dealing with two 4 year olds going at it).
- Your relationship is actually a secret to people at both schools you guys attend to; hell, even your family doesn’t know.
- He is known as a delinquent after all…
- You kind of forget that, since he acts so nice and sweet with you; it’s sometimes shocking hearing rumors of your boyfriend almost hospitalizing someone.
- You guys had dinner at your place so he’d meet your parents, classic bad boy meets s/o’s parents for the first time;
- It actually went surprisingly bad at first, he couldn’t stop looking kind of scary and he had a hard time getting along with your folks but eventually you made it out alive and with arrangements for teatime next weekend.
- Would 100% expect you to watch him practice solely for you to praise him over Juza (one time you didn’t and actually congratulated Juza and he went into a whole ass rant that only stopped after you kissed him and dragged him by his hair).
- (Oh please bully his haircut for me! He looks like a mushroom, a stinky geasy mushroom.)
- Everyday activities are now couple activities; especially gaming.
- Washing dishes? It’s a completion and whoever wins chooses the movie you’ll watch later. Helping him do the laundry? Whoever finishes first gets to eat the biggest piece of the desserts Omi made.
- You play multiplayer online games and join his guild and now that’s all you do on weekdays. Except you actually shower, he doesn’t. Disgusting pig.
- You actually spend a lot of time in his room with Juza, and Juza actually enjoys having you over, and even if in the surface he’s annoyed as hell that he steals you away sometimes he’s also realized that you can act as a mediator for their fights and get along with his members.
- “For once Settsu isn’t such a damn bother…”
- You two sleep in the same bed and Juza always keeps in check you don’t act out.
- He doesn’t want to wake up to anything weird, capiche?
- Banri truly does his best to make you happy and you do too, and that’s kind of all he needs in life. Especially since he’s still young, barely 17 with a delinquent image, people forget he’s also human and that he loves and needs love.
- Even if it’s hard sometimes, especially since he’s always claiming to live life in ultra-easy mode; he truly does love you a lot.
- And he reminds you everyday however he can; texts, calls, and dates.
- Sending you flowers, cards; he’s so cheesy sometimes it’s shocking such sweet things come out of such a rough looking fellow.
- He loves taking you out on mall-dates and walks on the park (don’t tell anyone he’s soft like that, he will tickle you until your cry), and his favorite; arcade dates where he’ll be banned because he wins you everything.
-You have to take a 45 minute bus ride to the mall because he’s banned for life because he wins everything, they’ve had to shut down stalls because he got you everything.
- Sure he’s a pain in the ass most of the time, but he’s never bored with you.
- For some reason, he’s more than happy to go into ultra-hard mode for you.

Fatal Journey Liveblog Part 3/3
NHS looking lovely again and being so clever! He's gonna Indiana Jones their way out of this cave like the sassy boss we know he can be.
Man, it's tragic how much (mentally) better NMS seems after their escape. Makes you wonder how much he'd just become numb to everything, fallen into despair, because he saw no hope in the future of the Nie clan. He'd failed them and he also failed to raise a brother who could be their next leader. But his eyes have been opened in this journey that actually his brother could stand up against him in defense of principles, could show courage, could rescue him with his wits... Maybe he sees, now, a light in the darkness. Maybe he's seeing a path where the Nie clan can survive under a different type of warrior.
And then poor red shirts gonna go call them REAL BROTHERS before dying horribly (I presume). jfc this movie is bleak lmao
Everyone's super emotional about being brothers!! Leave no man behind!! Let's charge into certain death together!!!!
Honestly, they got me, I'm loving this, the pay off from NHS' epic hero speech, now Master's onboard and he's got everyone all riled up finally to say F*CK SWORD SPIRITS !! and storm the castle. BROS OVER SWORD HOES \o/
ok and then apparently they have to fight the literal ghost of a sword. That flies around and rudely stabs people! Except if you are a pretty fan boy, in which case it smacks you hard with the flat end cause you're too beautiful to die. stg I was waiting for someone to catch him in his delicate swoon. Sadly, dedicated subordinate/real brother/dude who's obviously thirsty for him is currently fighting off ghost stabbings with NMS.
This thing where they're binding it with magic rope is kinda unintentionally hilarious. Very Doctor Who.
oh! Zonghui! That's his name! But... None of this looks good. (Honestly, I get it, but maybe next time DON'T jump in front of ur possesed and doomed leader to sacrifice yourself in his place, since he is in fact doomed. And it would be nice to stick around to comfort & protect second master fan boy.) Not that Meng Yao wouldn't have eventually had him killed off some other way regardless, so. (throws hands up in air)
Bye Zonghui!! Hello bad CGI!!
LMAO sword possession vs sword possession fight to the death. You know they are mad about it because they are yelling a lot.
Oh noes! NHS is waking up just in time to be sad about it.
Nooooooo not Satan's Flute! GODDAMNIT MENG YAO 4 REAL I HAAAAAAAAAAATE GOD I WISH U GOT STABBED IN THE HEART TWICE
holy shit, who allowed you to do me like this? Bringing back bb Nies to give everyone enough feels to defeat sword possession and shifty music magic.
aaaaaahhhhhhh everthing is awful forever. brb crying for 2 lifetimes
Poignant vows made on mountain tops lead to funerals. Naturally.
But my darling boy isn't gonna just be played like that. Cause holy shiiiiiiiit did he get a tip off from a ghost???? Was that like the hand of fate or did a ghost flutter those pages??? I guess it's left deliberately ambiguous but I like the idea that ghost brother is watching over him.

WHOA SPN THAT WAS SO MUCH so this got a little along. 
Oh the callbacks in the episode. So many. Starting with Pamela freakin’ Barnes to put is in a S4 mindset. She was delightful as always, I’m sorry this is a one-off and only in Dean’s mind but she’s still a wonderful character.
So...the place Michael tucks Dean away in to keep him calm, living the dream, is a bar, like Harvelles, and they still hunt, but Dean mostly runs the bar, Sam and Cas are on a hunt, and Dean seems into running this place of solace for people with a jukebox and pool table and beer. I think this is drawn from some authentic piece of Dean’s dreams of retirement, it’s not sand-between-the-toes, but it does seem to fit with what Dean might want. It’s not a real memory and it’s not fully authentic though because Michael constructs it to keep Dean placated but it’s all built from material inside Dean’s mind. Michael gave Dean a version of his contentment and it’s inside the hunting world. Which...haven’t a lot of us been talking about this, not the either/or, that they don’t have to entirely quit the life to find a life within the life. This fit into that theme. 
Pamela and Dean’s banter was fun and oh, that little exchange “You don’t want me, you just like to flirt. I’m a psychic. I know these things.” She’s constructed from Dean’s memories. Dean controls everything there. Dean’s own brain is trying to tell him something. This fits realllly well with a bi-Dean reading. And endgame Destiel. He likes to flirt and he’ll flirt with both genders but what does he really want in the end. Just throwing that out there. And let’s think for a moment how Dean’s mind created subtext that suits a bi Dean and Destiel endgame read.
“We have shifts now because you mess up so, so many things.” I LOLed.
Interesting there’s a callback to Gadreel not Lucifer for Sam relating one of his past possessions experiences to this. Given the themes Michael uses to taunt Sam and Cas and Jack with, Gadreel is a callback to a storyline that was about Dean crossing a line to save Sam, a story about Dean as a caretaker, saving a family member. 
Jack’s belief in Dean. My heart. This following on his early S14 tactless comments, followed by his confession about why he felt so desperate to stop Michael and he and Dean relating to each other’s sense of self-blame and desperation. That was mostly resolved, between them, but in terms of the ongoing story, seeing the extent Jack believes in Dean, this is advancing. 
“Dean. He’s strong. You don’t know anything about Dean.” I’m bolding for a reason--instance #1 of Dean’s family calling him strong.
And then, instance #1 of of Michael trying to demoralize and undermine. “You’re not Sam, you’re not Cas. You’re a new burden he was handed.” Taunting Jack with not being cared for, with being unwanted, by Dean, that it was forced on him. There was some tension on that in S13 initially. By season 14, with the development of the arcs, Dean chose this, but Jack is afraid he didn’t. Jack may also be carrying similar fears or guilt about Sam and Cas, given the origins and history. 
So the source of Cas’s death-glare in the promo was Michael taunting Cas about God, suggesting that Chuck just gives up on one world, and moves onto the next and that’s why there are so many AU’s. It might be true. Cas seems really outraged about it and is probably scared it is true. We’re maybe not done with Cas’s daddy issues, his faith or lack thereof in his Father.
Jensen and Misha were spectacular playing off each other in this scene and their whole dynamic transformed because Dean isn’t Dean, same as in S4, their dynamic transformed when Misha was playing Jimmy not Cas, which gets into a whole thing about how they inhabit Dean and Cas and have to switch off certain switches of their innate chemistry and find different switches instead to do this and I’m rambling, I’m having a Jensen and Misha as acting team moment here.
Then Michael aims  taunting #2 . “Look at you. Playing nursemaid to a nephilim. Nothing like the Castiel I knew. He would’ve never been so anemic.”
Cas’s answer “You’re confusing loyalty and compassion with weakness.”
Cas with all the growth and character development isn’t weak. His vulnerabilities are part of what makes him a whole character. I’m glad Cas sees himself this way too, he’s more than one thing.
Did Jack...just offer up a little piece of his soul for Dean? Oh ok. I’m fine. *hoists flag of surrender* I’ll just stop even trying not to have feelings about that. 
Then we’re in Dean’s mind.
*internal screaming*
I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS. I was really excited for the premise of this ep and wanted this but I was not read for...this.
Lots of recognizable sound bytes but “You’re gonna die and this is what you’re going to become” jumped out at me.
*shrieking*
Yeah so. Uh. This is the point in the episode where I started crying. 
And then Cas starts sensing out the void and says “So much trauma in Dean’s mind. So many scars” and that didn’t help me stop crying at all. The mere fact of Cas, surrounded by Dean’s mindspace and surrounded by Dean’s traumatic memories, witnessing this, I need to lie down and stare the ceiling and have feelings. BRB. 
When Cas touched Dean’s soul in Hell, and pulled him out, and put his soul back into his body, he maybe didn’t go in that deep, seeing Dean’s memories and all of that. 
And Sam isn’t that shook. “Dean’s strong,” Sam says. There’s the 2nd instance of that phrase about Dean. Sam knows Dean’s been through a lot. He’s not getting what Cas is getting at yet, why Cas is so shook, and I think it’s part Cas hasn’t witnessed it in quite this way yet and part it’s that Cas has already figured out the extent of exactly what Michael’s doing inside Dean’s head and Sam hasn’t.
Oh and hey, speaking of callbacks, since the ep firmly planted us in season four-ville, remember when Sam thought Dean was too weak and so he had to step up and drink demon blood, to make sure Dean was never torn to pieces ever again. Not that Sam managed to prevent that. So much has happened and now this Sam, sees Dean as strong.
“You’ve both been through a lot, and Dean is more than strong.” The 3rd instance, this time from Cas.
With a variation now. 
Dean is more than strong.
Dean is more than strong.
My heart’s gonna explode into little rainbows. That’s how Cas, specifically, sees Dean. Jack sees Dean as strong. Sam sees Dean as strong. Cas sees Dean as more than strong.
This is Dean through Cas’s eyes. This is Cas who in S10 looked at Dean, who said "I’m not any kind of a role model” and looked so sad and insisted “that’s not true.” Because he does know Dean and what Dean has gone through and remember he saw Dean in Hell.
*flaily hands* this is SO MUCH. BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE.
MICHAEL DROWNED DEAN IN HIS OWN TRAUMA. 
*rocks back and forth*
Trauma wasn’t enough the first time though. Dean kept kicking and fighting. Squirming. Because “Dean thrives on trauma.” Sam does, in fact get his brother quite well. It keeps Dean awake and aware and fighting to go home. Cas then raises the concept of “contentment” being where they will find Dean instead of the trauma this time because that’s a fresher concept for Dean and therefore more potent in keeping him docile. JUST STAB ME. 
“The people in your real life. We need you to come back.” 
HOW ABOUT IF I JUST SIT HERE QUIETLY SOBBING FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I KEEP TYPING DOES THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE. 
Cas. Cas baby, you got all the way to a “we need you.” Brave little toaster, you’re halfway to an “I” statement. Baby steps. 
Another great callback, Sam using “Poughkeepsie.” Cas’s lack of an “I” statement plea about how much he’s needed, Dean just scoffs a little, but Sam reaches for a very personal code word, so it’s a virtual “I” statement, between him and his brother, and that’s what breaks Dean free of the loop. Gotta use the “I” statements. It needed to be more personal and Cas is still not able to articulate what he needed to in order to break through that. S8 Cas is very lucky Dean is good with using the “I” statement, progressing from “We need you...I need you” and broke through the brainwashing.
Michael, the biggest anti-TFW stan to ever anti-stan, then spills 2 more instance of demoralization, by voicing the most negative fears of what Sam and Cas are to Dean. He mocks Cas’s iconic introductory line and taunts him that all he’s done since then is make mistakes (Michael’s an anti-Cas stan...an anti-Jack stan...an anti-Sam stan)...and then Michael starts in on Sam, taunting with how happy Dean was when Sam left Dean to hunt alone with John.
"They’re you’re responsibilities. They’re a weight around your neck.”
This is cutting deep. This isn’t to demoralize Dean, this is to get Sam and Cas to give up. Michael’s using things that are rooted in some darker fears, and maybe some things that should be addressed about the familial dynamics but they aren’t truth-truths. Dean has carried so much on his shoulders. But none of Michael’s tauntingly demoralizing statements are truth about how Dean feels about Jack or Sam or Cas. (Small fandom side note, I can just imagine various extremes in the fandom using Michael’s taunts to hoist their own anti flags as if canon just verified their viewpoints when Michael is deadass the villain and the words meant to hurt and not what Dean actually feels and if you use it for one you don’t like, another exists aimed at your faves too. Oh it’s diabolical).
I said before the ep aired that Michael would be worse than Lucifer when he taunts because Lucifer is a raspberry blowing asshole child, while Michael knows how to do surgical strikes. And Michael is quietly vicious wow.
Side note into Jack using his powers at extreme need but it eats a tiny piece of his soul. Which isn’t exactly what I expected. I thought they might have him be able to start, a little, tapping into the powers at extreme need and it being adrenaline based, like early Sam’s powers. Or think Luke in the cave on Hoth. Returning gradually. But this is Jack purposefully burning up a little piece of his soul to do it and...this is not going to end well. This is not good. Let’s not head for soulless Jack. Can we not do that please. I’m just starting to get attached to him, he’s already died once, come on.
Sam, Dean, and Cas working in concert to trap Michael together in the storage room. HELL YES THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL THIS IS WHAT I WANTED.
Dean’s “I got him” -- that sound you heard is me screaming for 8 million years because Swan Song callback, flipped from Sam to Dean. I got him.
“I’m the cage.”
Ok no one has said that before. It is a slight callback to S6 Great Wall of Sam and gee that’s not going to hold forever. This is not good.
Oh crap, Billie. Oh crap what is happening. What does this mean, no no no. Please tell me this isn’t going to have to be Dean sacrificing himself to save the world from himself possessed by Michael burning the world.
I really needed Sam, Dean, and Cas to talk about some of the stuff that went on while they were in Dean’s mind but I’m really happy (destroyed) by this ep. I did have some high expectations for it but wasn’t sure how high to set them, but this journey into Dean’s head went to some emotional spots I really needed it to go to and I think moves their arcs, together, forward...Sam and Cas witnessing all that. Seeing how much Sam and Cas each in different ways understand Dean. How Sam, Dean, and Jack all think so highly of him. *cries* Showing how far they’ve come.
OK THANKS FOR DROWNING ME IN DEAN TRAUMA YOCKEY

Coran saying that Allura and Lotor “Romantically linked” and pidge saying they kissed and then Coran saying “We all make bad decisions sometimes!”
“Honerva and Haggar are two different people. Haggar is a twisted version of what was once so beautiful and pure”
Zarkon is afraid of cats
[About Ezor] “The Galra value honor, and camouflaging yourself isn’t exactly honorable” -Keith 
DAMN 
EVEN MORE PIDGE DRAWINGS 
you know what I’m going to make a separate post about pidge’s drawings
She drew a smiling Voltron if you’re wondering
I love Keith for his lil comments 
“The [black] lion believed in me before I believed in myself” -Keith
[Keith about Red] “I’m going to be honest. I was surprised with how fast Red responded to Lance since she nearly let me die, but he totally deserves to be flying with her.” “Aww, thanks, Keith. That might be the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.”
Klance is cannon king
ALLURA WIRITNG “IM A LEG!” ON BLUE’S PAGE I LOVE HER SHES SO CUTE
Okay so at the end of the book theres a letter from Coran saying look out for Lotor and the Sincline beast because they’re bad news and to call Voltron if you see them basically
THEN THE BACK OF THE BOOK HAS LIKE 5 PAGES OF A LETTER FROM LOTOR
ITS LIKE BACKWARDS TOO LIKE THE PAGES ARE FLIPPED YOU HAVE TO TURN THE BOOK AROUND TO READ IT 
So highlights/summary from his letter introducing himself in ‘his own words’
“Through my leadership - and not Voltron’s - we can create an empire that even my father, Zarkon, would have been fearful of. Together, we can do this. Together, we will fight on. If you are with me, please keep reading. These pages will include an insider’s look at MY empire and why we need Quintessence for ALL of us.”
Okay this whole thing is petty I'm - I love lotor
“To enter HQ you need to come through the landing bay. There, you will meet with a phalanx of sentries. These banners show that I am not, in fact, as bloodthirsty or cutthroat as the PALADINS have made me seem.” 
You tell em bby
He also mentions the “cool” sentry. He also mentions their cool cafeteria you can use if you join him. God, I love Lotor
Introduces all the Galran contenders for the throne
Known Pervious Galran Rulers
“Zarkon: powerful, yes. Flawed? Also, yes.”
There’s one of the stills from when Zarkon (?) was having flashbacks of the OG paladins and its of Alfor and Zarkon shaking hands and I love them so much Blaytz is there too 
Basically says that if you join his empire they will take down Voltron and bring real peace to the universe 
“Now doesn’t that sound BETTER than some measly coalition led by a bunch of weak Earth people? I thought so!”
“I am afraid I don’t have much more to say, other than thanking you for reading my letter. Together, with the Sincline beast, we will end Voltron and bring about peace to the universe.”
“How’s that for your coalition, Voltron?”

Failure. Such an awful word, isn't it? You might've flunked that test Miss Honey set last week (in my defense, Genghis Khan's goatee was giving me nightmares) or maybe your sis ate up all those donuts you bought on your cheat day. Either way, it’s easy to get hit by a few L's along the way because life loves throwing in lemons. Oh, just noticed, life and lows... they even start with the same letter L! (hobo logic, COMING RIGHT THRU)
But what if I told you that failure = success? And that sometimes, failure > success? Isn't that rad as eff?
What’s the time? Don’t look at your watch! It’s time to conquer our failures.
Tumblr media
You’re probably thinking along the lines of: "Ok… failure. *scrunches face* Hmm, don't want to experience that! I mean the letter F has better words... Like food! And omg fishies!! BRB. Gonna get food." Stop. Also, since I’m so kind, I'll get you the first appointment with my counsellor.
Failure is simply a deviation from the ordinary. Things didn't go as you had planned. Oh, please. I'm an excellent planner! I planned for my fishies to fly, and they will! Um, hi. Welcome to the real world. Fishies don’t fly around here. And if they did, an eel would prob smack you in the face while doing so.
But believe it or not, failure provides countless opportunities for growth. How? Because it’s only in our darkest times that we are willing to go the deepest. Good days, we skim through them. Only when the seas get rough do we sit down to try and figure out why things turned out the way they did.
And even though experiencing a low sucks, it is necessary sometimes. Think about this. Without failure, success would truly have no meaning. If you can’t ever lose, what counts as a win? If you can’t make mistakes, everything becomes ‘ordinary’ as there are neither any highs nor any lows.
Now! If you are all warmed up, let's sit around the bonfire and have a story time about my failures. Bring some marshmallows too, it's gonna be a long one.
In my life so far, I have gone through many failures. Most were small ones, nothing to cry upon (my sis did take my cookies which I'm NOT happy about but I think I’ll let that pass). Two failures, however, completely changed my life:
Fail no #1: Two years ago, I was a completely naive and ignorant teen. I had a bunch of so called “friends”, was hella popular, and was basically living the life of a queen (at least that's what I thought at that time). Well, in between that, I had my first boyfriend (poor guy) and hey, it was another feather to add to my cap. It didn't however, last long.
We broke up and a few days later, I tumbled into a really dark hole. Went down in the dumps and became depressed (And that starts with the same letter again! Oh, I’m so good at this, all hail me). My ‘friends’ left me to pick other ones and I had no one whom I could trust or talk to. I was completely alone. (Gosh, looking back, I was such a sad child.) Now I don't talk about weird shit like this because I am grateful that I’m out of it and am now a lil’ happy unicorn. Those days weren't fun.
Anyways, during my days in the dark hole, I realized something profound. I couldn't love someone else with all my heart because I hadn’t learned to love myself. Heck, I didn't even know who I was. I was a complete loser.
Fail no #2: Months later, my family shifted states (around the time I started this blog). By now I had grown to be wiser and stronger. Popularity didn't mean anything and I found my solace in perfect A’s all over my report card. Everything was going fine and dandy, but then I was showered with a bagful of lemons again (no wonder I’m allergic to them). I met Prashasti.
Now, most of you know her as Prasati grandma who helps me with the Interviews (read: here!) and about whom I talk a lot, whether in awe or annoyance. She’s a grannie with sass. Coming back to the point, she had joined freshman year in the same year as I had and well, we become friends. (BTW, she’s editing this article for me so shout out to my binch! I love you!)
Um, ok. Anyways, after we talked (like grannies do, lmao) about life and shit, I realized that I was doing it completely wrong. Sure, I was happier and not a loser anymore, but I wasn't even close to using the potential I held. I'd gotten up after falling off my rocker (or horse, if you like horsies) and dusted my hands, but now I was just sneezing all over the place. I hadn't taken the reins just yet. I was still in what philosophers call the ‘bubble’ (read: The Bubble Trap for more on this).
Feeling like a failure? Commence part two.
Tumblr media
Truthfully, failure hurts. I will neither try to minimize the pain nor tell you that it is easy to bear. Instead, I will try to make you realize that failure is important to experience in order to become more wise, kind, compassionate, and in the end, a better human being.
Now, consider this. When you break a jar full of water (reminder, your mom is about to kill you so hide while you can), the glass shatters and the water pours out, now free. In the same way, life sends failures to crack open your outer, fake shell and to allow your values, your emotions, and your finer self to come out and experience the sunbeams outside.
Failure is beautiful and sine qua non (and I’m poetic, thanks for pointing out Sally). But ironically, many fail to understand that there’s honestly so much to learn from it. I mean, you get to stay at home, eat burnt popcorn for breakfast, and cry your heart out, doesn’t that sound like fun? Here, let me explain.
Lesson from fail 1: I learned my most important life lesson which was to love myself completely.  Another thing I realized was that everything is temporary; friends, boyfriends, everyone is going to play their roles in my life and move on someday, citius aut serius. There is nothing wrong with that, it’s a fact of life. I simply had to embrace that and make the most out of our time together. This failure also hinted at my non-existent communication skills, which I had to fix. (Now I’m Bob the Builder! Ah, childhood.)
Lesson from fail 2: I learned that you can truly be what you want to be. Life is full of opportunities and trust me, life wants you to win. Don't just live, though. You must take a step back occasionally to see where you are going. Most don't do that, they are too busy checking off tasks from their to-do and moving onto the next one. For them, everything is just a chore to get over with. They turn a blind eye to the freedoms that lie ahead of them. You are capable of doing everything you want, go wherever you want, be the person of your dreams. Isn’t that freedom enough? Most are scared to take responsibility for that and hence they play small and are willing enough to sacrifice their true dreams, settling for stuff that doesn't excite them.
Tumblr media
You see, some say I’m a bit too wise for my age. I‘ve even had people send me asks ‘advising’ me to wait till I’m eighteen before I give advice on so called ‘adult’ topics, like failure, life etc. Pah.
Do we not experience failure when we are young? Or do they not matter, huh? One golden rule of nature is that what you resist will persist. If you don't learn from your failures which come in smaller doses when we are young, a much bigger failure is going to hit you smack in the face later on. Teens don't learn from theirs, and lo and behold, we find ourselves a few years later in depression, midlife crises, and whatnot. How fun.
THAT'S the reason I don't listen to what those asks say. I mean, sure, I could ignore my failure now, they are not big ones. But do I look like dumb to you? Life is a wonderful teacher and I choose to learn. And so can you.
So coming to my point, failure hurts. But remember, failure teaches more life lessons than I’ll ever be able to teach you (welcome to life lessons 101, taken by Nani). Ergo, point to note, failure doesn't stop you, it's the quitting that does. It doesn't take your faith away, it TESTS it. Decide whether you want to pass or- once more, fail.
Tumblr media
So does that mean you shouldn't feel the pain, sadness or remorse the failure brings? Nah. You should never hold back your emotions. Cry, beat up yo’ pillow, kill fishies if you have to, I support you (the campaign starts, #SaveTheFishies).
But don't let your emotions rob you of your growth. Learn to let go when you have to, and then use your failures as a slingshot to catapult you closer to your ambitions. Pluck up the courage to face failure and your fears, it's as easy as plucking those lemons.
See, there will always be an excuse NOT to learn from your failures. I could have stayed in that dark hole which no doubt wouldn't have been very fun and would have ended up becoming suicidal. I chose not to. I could have left Prasati and her wise philosophical shit to pick other friends while continuing to live inside the bubble (I still love you prash, put down that knife please). I chose not to.
In the end, even though your destiny is roughly mapped out, it all depends upon the choices you make. Whether you choose to learn or not. Thus yes, failure is not the opposite of success, it becomes a part of success.
So please, by all means, fall, dear friend. Fall, and then choose to get back up.

THOR: RAGNAROK- THE PERFECT ENDING
I know most of you have probably seen Thor: Ragnarok by now, but for those of you that haven’t, you should probably go see it while you still can!
I have to say, this is by far, the best Thor movie I’ve seen. And if it happens to be the last, well, I don’t mind (brb crying in a corner). But really. If this is the last Thor movie, it would serve as the perfect ending to the franchise.
I have always been a fan of Thor. No, it’s not because of Chris Hemsworth’s drool- worthy everything. It might be partly because of Tom Hiddleston, but mostly, mostly, it was actually my love for mythologies that made me appreciate it. As a lover of literature, mythologies have always been my favourite. And there’s so little about Norse mythology, that I was glad it got a chance to be made into such a spectacular, phenomenal movie, starring such talented actors.
With that being said, let’s delve into everything there is to love and look forward to when it comes to Thor.
(Warning: as always, spoilers ahead)
1. THE HUMOR
I did read an article stating that Tom Hiddleston admitted this would be the funniest Thor ever (I am using a lot of superlatives, I know. It’s just that great!)
And well, he wasn’t lying.
See, Chris Hemsworth is this unfairly, annoyingly perfect human being. I mean, he looks like a god, he can act, he can sing, he is a great dad to his kids, and it turns out, he can be funny. Countless interviews and even that little segment he did where Thor was taking a break with Darryl (see youtube video here, if you haven’t already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_mizUMlvUc)
So yeah, the beginning of the movie already had me laughing. (*spoiler content*) Thor was trapped in a cage talking to a skeleton I was like “wtf?” But what did it for me was when he was being interrogated by that fiery dude (don’t know how to spell his name) and he was swinging on the chain Oh.My.God. You would have to have watched it to understand.
The chain was rotating him around and every time he had his back to the evil dude, he would be like “Hold on.” And “I swear to God, I’m not doing this. It’s doing this on its own.” And it turns out, a lot of it was improvised. So bless you, Chris Hemsworth for your near perfection and humor.
 Of course, Tom Hiddleston also had his funny moments. One was when he was kidnapped by the great wizard, Dr. Strange. When he came out of the portal, he was like, “I’ve been falling for thirty minutes!” And I’m sure we’ve all seen the clip where Hela goes “Kneel.” And Loki is just like, “who dafuq does this bitch thinks she is? That’s my line!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, ALSO! When Hulk comes out- Loki’s reaction is just pricless- omfg! You guys, you have got to love Tom Hiddleston for all the sass and attitude and facial expressions he can fit in Loki’s character.
2. THE CAST
Thor brings back familiar faces like Loki, Heimdall and *surprise, surprise* Odin. We even get a scene of Volstagg and Fandral there. But, we also have a slew of new characters. One, being Surtur (big, fiery dude I was talking about.) We also have big, bad Hela. And of course, Valkyrie.
Before we talk about the new characters, let’s talk about the old ones.
Loki. Loki. Loki. He has got to be my most favourite villain of all time. At the beginning of the movie, he is living it up as Odin and even builds a statue of himself. Of course, Thor (even though he isn’t the smartest Avenger) eventually figures it out. They have a somewhat happy reunion, before Thor asks for Odin.
Odin has been on Earth for some time, stripped of his power. He ends up in Norway (big nod to Norse mythology right there) and ends up dying in a sprinkle of golden little lights. Before he dies, he is somewhat able to explain about Hela ( who we’ll talk about later). But Odin, being Odin, he doesn’t stay dead and still appears to Thor in somewhat weird and creepy visions, and he’s sassy too. He goes like “Are you the god of hammers?” Well, excuse you All Father
Volstagg and Fandral. This is the part I do not like of the film. They were such lovable, lovable characters and Hela killed them without blinking. Like wtf? They survived this long only to die like that? WHY MARVEL? WHYYYYY. I mean, Pietro’s death is still fresh!!!
Heimdall. Our watcher has turned into some sort of Asgardian vigilante. He’s running from the law after what he did in Thor: The Dark World, but he also keeps the citizens of Asgard safe while Loki and Thor are stuck on the other side of the universe. Good job, Heimdall! You deserve a raise.
And now *drum roll*
THE BIG BAD. Hela. She is this combination of deadly (ugh duh goddess of death), jealous and powerful. Not really great for Thor, whose hammer is also destroyed by her. And to top it all off, she is the first born, not him. Ouch. Talk about living a lie. See, Cate Blanchett does a great job of playing this death goddess who revels in destruction and killing, but I think it’s the way that Hela is written that doesn’t really do it for me. She’s just so full of hate and wants to take over the nine realms. She is evil to the core, and so, there’s not much going on besides her being a powerful enemy. Sadly, compared to Loki and other villains, her character falls flat. I mean, even Ultron- who was a robot- had some twisted reasoning to all his evilness. At least she had a dog. I want one. All that aside, Cate Blanchett is still gorgeous and talented and I love her!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Valkyrie. I was impressed with her fighting skills, and even though she was drunk, she still won. Way to go, girl! She also feels a lot like a female Thor to me, and maybe that’s why they’ll end up together? I don’t know, but I think that’s where Marvel’s heading with these two, especially since Thor and Jane broke up. (Ikr! Just like that?! After everything that happened in The Dark World?) Still, in the comics, they did get together at times, so it’s not that surprising if the writers go there.
Surtur. Big, bad fiery dude. And when I say big, I do mean big. He is prophesised to destroy Asgard and bring about Ragnarok, when he grows to be as big as a mountain. See, but I’m not telling you if he succeeds. That, you’ll have to see in the movie.
Tumblr media
3. THE BROMANCE IS REAL
The thing I’ve always loved about Thor movies is the relationship between Loki and Thor. It’s so real and raw and funny. They really capture how siblings act irl. At least, that’s how me and my brother are. I just assume most people can relate. I love how Thor has finally, finally learned, that Loki will always try to get the best of him. I also love how Loki will come to his brother’s aid no matter their differences. In the end of the movie, when Thor is sitting in his “throne”, I’m happy to see Loki standing there beside him. And that scene in the room! Where Thor was like “If you were here, I might actually give you a hug” and Loki catches whatever Thor throws at him because he is there! WAHHHH MY FANGIRL HEART
Tumblr media
4. THOR’S TRUE POWER
Even though Odin could’ve put it nicely instead of being like “Are you the god of hammers?” (see now, I know where Loki gets all his sass from. It wasn’t spending all that time with Frigga) It’s true that Thor’s power doesn’t come from the hammer. Still, Mjolnir was a character all on it’s own. I’m gonna miss that hammer. My most favourite parts of the movie were when Thor used his powers without the hammer. It was so cool seeing his eyes go all blue and lightning just zapping off his body. His fight scene with the Hulk was e.p.i.c. EPIC. 
Tumblr media
He would’ve won if it wasn’t for that cheating Grandmaster! Seriously, dude? And then Thor also zaps Hela with a hella big blast and she flies out the window. DAMN. DAMN BRO. Thor kicks ass without that hammer. I wonder if it’ll be like that in Infinity Wars and what the reactions of his fellow Avengers might be. *insert smirk*
Tumblr media
 There were other great parts of the movie- the other gladiators wanting a revolution, Korg (omg Korg, I love him. And the fact that he is voiced by the director makes it even funnier). And the end credits! Goosebumps! I love Thor. I really wish this wasn’t the last movie. But right now, I’m really, reallyyyy looking forward to Infinity Wars.

Dec 18 Dancitron Movie Night - Rugrats: Chanukah and An American Tail
Prowl ignored all of the above, due to the fact that it was not about Odo.
Instead, he spent the whole movie fretting over the horrible position the Leaguers are in on Earth. Unfortunately, out of him, “fretting over” translates into “vaguely threateningly offering to help.”
ItsyBitsySpyers 8:20 pm *Soundwave moves quickly, lifting furniture with his hands and arranging the usual stashes of snacks and free cubes for the guests with his feelers. One takes a break to snap his visor back on, but other than that, it's work work work for several minutes to make sure all is in place.*
*And yes, that means moving the couch while Prowl is still on it.* FakeProwl 8:21 pm *He's very good and won't wiggle an inch *while his couch is moving. Definitely Not Shockwave 8:21 pm *It appears that he has arrived just in time to barely glimpse Soundwave putting his finishing touches upon the area. Excellent.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:22 pm *Soundwave nods to Sh... to Longarm. Yes. Preserve the illusion. Then to Ace and Bull as he comes in.* FakeProwl 8:24 pm *Hey, check out this brand new guest Prowl's never seen before who definitely isn't Shockwave at all.* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:24 pm *Returning the nod, "Longarm." extends a limb to yoink a small snack from one of the tables, and takes a seat that looks comfortable. Magnum Ace 8:25 pm -waves back before going back to climbing up the table- FakeProwl 8:25 pm *He appears to be an Autobot, how nice.* Swoop 8:25 pm *scampers indoors* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:25 pm *He can't help but notice the overwhelming number of fellow autobots here, himself.* Bull 8:25 pm *offers his own wave as he follows Magnum to their normal spot* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:25 pm *He must find a way to temporarily get some Earth atmosphere in here so he can host these humans for a weekend's operation.* Swoop 8:26 pm *watches the screen for a few seconds, giggling, then returns to his previously scheduled scampering* Bird? Bird! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:26 pm *Right on cue.* {{Bird here. You not screaming please.}} *Soundwave parks himself back on the couch at last, satisfied with the room.* Magnum Ace 8:27 pm -Sounds fun- Swoop 8:27 pm *hurries over* Hi Bird! Kehehhe. Me Swoop not screeeeamming. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:27 pm {{Good. Bird got head hurting.}} Swoop 8:27 pm !!! *leans close* Why hurting? Bevel 8:28 pm *oh hey someone new* Magnum Ace 8:28 pm -plops self on tabletop once he gets up there- Definitely Not Shockwave 8:28 pm *Longarm, who is still definitely not shockwave, briefly makes eye contact with Bevel.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm {{It Bird job trading stores with Frenzy. All. DAY.}} ((FIVE MINUTES grab your snacks)) Swoop 8:29 pm *pats Bird's back* Frenzy yelly bot keheh Bevel 8:29 pm *makes eye contact back, grins and waves* My name is Bevel. What is yours? Swoop 8:29 pm *is ATTEMPTING to control his volume* *cannot control the pitch of his baby voice or all the voice cracks tho* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:31 pm A-ah. Longarm. *He grins back, though the expression is ridiculously stiff.* Come here often? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:32 pm ((warnings: cute 90s nicktoons babies telling old stories, representations of unpleasant real life history through cartoon critters, some flashing during american tail, and tbh i didn't get to finish reviewing so i don't know beyond that)) Bevel 8:32 pm Most of the time, yeah. Soundwave *motions to him* shows lots of movies and other Earth stuff. Definitely Not Shockwave 8:34 pm I see. I was familiar with the existence of these gatherings, but...Why Earth media, in particular? Not that I doubt our host's ability to choose something properly entertaining for the occasion, haha. Bevel 8:34 pm I... *looks at Soundwave for help* FakeProwl 8:34 pm *Sorta sideways-watching the new guest from across the room.* Swoop 8:35 pm *scoops Bird up* You BIrd want go quiet time? Magnum Ace 8:35 pm What's wrong with Earth media? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:35 pm [[Because he finds that most mechs became familiar with the planet at one time or another.]] *And because the humans haven't figured out how to detect interstellar signal snatching, but he won't say that where Prowl can hear it.* Bevel 8:36 pm What Soundwave said. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:36 pm {{No, no. Bird stay. Bird want cartoons, yes.}} Swoop 8:36 pm Kay Bull 8:37 pm *looks to Magnum* I can kind of understand why he's asking. We're use to human made media; they're not, sometimes. Swoop 8:37 pm *uses his feetsies to grab as many pillows and toss them in a pile while holding onto BIrd, once he's successfully created a Dinobot worthy pile, he sets her on top* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:37 pm *His posture straightens up a bit while listening.* That....Is fair. *He nods and leans back into his seat.* FakeProwl 8:37 pm *... Whatever this is, it isn't about Odo, and Prowl is therefore automatically no longer invested in it. It's going to have an uphill battle winning him over.* Magnum Ace 8:37 pm ...fair ItsyBitsySpyers 8:38 pm *Laserbeak preens a little before cringing a bit at the horns. She'll turn her audios down.* Swoop 8:38 pm ((omg I haven't seen this in AGES, such nostalgia)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:39 pm [[...He was not aware that human spawn required six fathers.]] Definitely Not Shockwave 8:39 pm I don't have anything against it, per sae, but I am not much a fan of the- uh- scientific inaccuracies in their pictures. The Nebulons do better better work, in my opinion. Bevel 8:39 pm That is a lot of fathers. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:39 pm [[He prefers the Eurythmans' work, himself.]] Magnum Ace 8:39 pm .... they don't Bull 8:40 pm *is more than a little confused of what is being shown today* Swoop 8:40 pm *goes and grabs a massive amount of treats, as you do, before returning to sit at the bottom of pillow mountain* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:40 pm *Soundwave was in a War Stories mood.* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:41 pm *He nods to Soundwave gently again.* FakeProwl 8:41 pm ... Nebulons write dull mysteries, though. Swoop 8:41 pm *sticks one of the bigger goodies with his claw and holds it up for Bird* Whirl 8:41 pm ((d. does anyone else see a heart next to whirl's name)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:41 pm ((yes it's a New Thing)) Whirl 8:41 pm (9what happened. why does he have a heart)) Definitely Not Shockwave 8:41 pm *He....Has decided to completely ignore the movie. The art style is too distasteful (Also the mun's screen isn't showing any gotdamn video)* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:42 pm *Bird quietly noms the treat.*
((aaaaah no 😧 restart?)) Bull 8:42 pm ((Not sure; I changed mine to Cheers)) Swoop 8:42 pm ((these subtitles are WAY off)) Definitely Not Shockwave 8:42 pm (Hhhrrk. Alright, I'll brb.) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:42 pm ((as a caption person, it is driving me bananas, but we use what we must)) Whirl 8:42 pm ((Whirl's gonna keep his heart)) Swoop 8:43 pm CHAnukah kehehhh Whirl 8:43 pm *slooowly creeps in and makes his way to his usual table* Bevel 8:43 pm *waves to Whirl* Whirl 8:43 pm *bobs his head in greeting* Magnum Ace 8:43 pm ....

Swoop 8:49 pm That sword not sharp enough It bad for stabbing *glances up at Bird* *offers more treats* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:49 pm ...Remind me, are these supposed to be humans? Bull 8:49 pm .... *keeps his mouth shut* Bevel 8:49 pm I bet it is paper. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:50 pm {{Them humans. Tiny humans.}} Swoop 8:50 pm Tiny Bird better : > *pets* Definitely Not Shockwave 8:50 pm Tiny....Humans. Hm. Magnum Ace 8:51 pm They...did cause some injuries... ItsyBitsySpyers 8:52 pm *Soundwave gently prods Prowl. Did you hear that?* Magnum Ace 8:52 pm -if by injuries you mean 'almost killed on several different occasions'- Swoop 8:52 pm ((omg I remember this being funny and it is so much better than I recalled)) FakeProwl 8:53 pm *Tiny nod. He's listening.* Bevel 8:53 pm ((being an adult and watching this is so much better Whirl 8:54 pm *gets properly settled in* Swoop 8:54 pm *doesn't know where Bird's audios are, covers them anyway, best guesses* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:54 pm [[Such as? Did they come after you with the game equipment?]] Definitely Not Shockwave 8:54 pm *He finds the crying child obnoxious...And it shows.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:54 pm *She is so. grateful.* Bull 8:54 pm Ummm, well.... Magnum Ace 8:54 pm The ones Segal had built? Not...exactly? FakeProwl 8:55 pm ... Then what did they do? Swoop 8:55 pm *IS HELPING* <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Magnum Ace 8:56 pm Nothing that wasn't legal -in the games. Now, the strays on the other hand...- Bull 8:57 pm considering 'everything' is or was legal Magnum Ace 8:57 pm -nudges Bull- Bull 8:57 pm *sorry* FakeProwl 8:58 pm The specifics, not whether or not it was legal. Swoop 9:00 pm *sets his chin on a pillow and pets down BIrd's back* *other than the pillow theft, he is doing his absolute best to behave* Whirl 9:01 pm *leans back and props his feet up on his table* Definitely Not Shockwave 9:01 pm *Something softly beeps on his person, and he stands up immediately.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:01 pm *Soundwave spots Whirl and nods. Greetings.* Magnum Ace 9:01 pm -crap- ...electrocution Swoop 9:01 pm ((man there is some SERIOUS nostalgia lined up tonight 😀 )) Whirl 9:01 pm *bobs his head back* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:01 pm *Bird appreciates the Well-Behaved Swoop.* Definitely Not Shockwave 9:01 pm *He grabs another handful of snacks from the table, and begins making his way out as discreetly as possible.* Swoop 9:02 pm *would make high pitched noises if Bird said she appreciated something he's doing so it's best she just keeps that to herself and doesn't jinx it* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:02 pm *Nice try, Longarm. One feeler will wave a good-bye.* Bevel 9:02 pm *waves goodbye as well* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:02 pm *Laserbeak's got one eye on the snack table, as always. Nobody goes there without her noticing.* FakeProwl 9:02 pm *tips head up slightly.* ... And he gave them the order to do so? Definitely Not Shockwave 9:03 pm *He pauses at the doorway, and supposes that there wasn't much of a way that he was going to get away with that without anyone noticing. He waves back and makes his way out.* Magnum Ace 9:03 pm ...he...he did... Definitely Not Shockwave 9:03 pm (Wish I had more time to stay, but my roommate is going to kick my ass if I don't go to bed before 11.) Magnum Ace 9:03 pm -can he sink into the table now?- FakeProwl 9:03 pm ... And where is this Seagull now? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:03 pm ((all righty! thank you for coming! get some rest 😃 )) Magnum Ace 9:04 pm Segal no longer deals with leaguers, thankfully. Bull 9:04 pm He went back to his movie career *and he can stay there* Magnum Ace 9:05 pm -there is no room for his pompous butt in sports- Swoop 9:05 pm Me Swoop from America Oregon ItsyBitsySpyers 9:05 pm {{Your floor got bread crumbs?}} FakeProwl 9:05 pm Does he deal with any mecha in the movie business? Bull 9:05 pm *or anywhere else* Swoop 9:05 pm Got lot of dirt keheh Magnum Ace 9:06 pm ...we don't think so. I think we'd hear about it if he did. Whirl 9:07 pm Pfft. That's an interesting noise for a cat to make. FakeProwl 9:07 pm I wouldn't be too sure. Bull 9:07 pm *doubts any Leaguer or Leaguer build would ever want to be in the movies with Segal* Whirl 9:07 pm Well, a small one, anyway. FakeProwl 9:07 pm *from what Prowl's heard of their society, doubts they may have a choice.* Magnum Ace 9:07 pm -well, he wasn't /wrong/ about that- ...right... ItsyBitsySpyers 9:08 pm *Ravage slinks downstairs.*
=What noise.= Swoop 9:08 pm This bad movie for Ravage keh Bevel 9:09 pm *giggles* Whirl 9:09 pm *clicks his claw at Ravage and imitates the deep-throated snarling the cats were making earlier* One second, one second. lemme get my engine in it-- *does it again, this time with a good rev of his flight engine, which completes the "stock-sound" effect* FakeProwl 9:10 pm *Glances at Soundwave.* I'm sure it would be quite easy to confirm whether or not he's got any mecha to exploit, and to get them out of his hands. Magnum Ace 9:10 pm ...not...not really. If he has them...they're...kinda his Bull 9:10 pm *Bull looks a little unnerved at what Prowl is suggesting* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:10 pm *Ravage flattens his ears back a lil bit.*
=...No. Too loud, hm? More...= *Draws himself up, resets his vocalizer in a burst of static, and... meoooowwww.* Whirl 9:11 pm *SNICKERS* Ravage. Ravage. That was adorable. Magnum Ace 9:11 pm Some wouldn't want to leave, either ItsyBitsySpyers 9:11 pm *Soundwave glances back.*
[[If we knew who to look for.]] FakeProwl 9:11 pm *a very, very unfriendly smile.* You say that like you think we can't take them away from him. Magnum Ace 9:11 pm That's a bad idea Bull 9:11 pm You can't if they don't want to. Whirl 9:11 pm Lemme try--*and now he's tentatively meowing back, perfecting his technique* FakeProwl 9:11 pm ... I'm sure it would also be quite easy to dig up anybody /else/ he's exploiting and ensure the authorities receive the proper information, hm? *To Soundwave, again.* Magnum Ace 9:12 pm No No, no, that's a really bad idea Bull 9:12 pm That won't work either... and just cause more trouble FakeProwl 9:12 pm Persuade me. Bull 9:12 pm .... Magnum Ace 9:12 pm He's the son of Dark Foundation FakeProwl 9:12 pm *He's all audials.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:12 pm *Ravage pats the floor in applause.*
=Passable, for a biped.= Magnum Ace 9:13 pm One of the largest and more influential foundations out there Whirl 9:13 pm *sits up straight so he can bow* FakeProwl 9:13 pm Ah. More targets. Magnum Ace 9:13 pm No! If you take out them, someone else will take their place! FakeProwl 9:14 pm Ah. /More/ targets. Bull 9:14 pm Not when they are legally not doing anything Illegal! ItsyBitsySpyers 9:14 pm [[One moment, one moment.]] Magnum Ace 9:14 pm Someone who wouldn't think twice about taking out all of Silver Castle Bull 9:15 pm *Bull is getting steadily more unnerved and the conversation* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:15 pm [[Let us slow down. You said the Dark Foundation was one of the largest and most influential. Why is this? What do they do? What do they affect?]] Magnum Ace 9:15 pm No. You're going to get us deactivated ItsyBitsySpyers 9:16 pm [[Calm down. He is only attempting to understand. He has not agreed to do anything.]] Bull 9:16 pm They effect the world's economy, on more than one level. Magnum Ace 9:17 pm They're the ones in charge of supplying mechs to gather materials from other worlds Swoop 9:18 pm what water monster is? Bevel 9:18 pm Ocean? Whirl 9:18 pm Well, that was clearly an ocean monster. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:18 pm [[Ah. So disrupting their business could upset the flow of vital trades and offworld materials in your world. These *are* vital materials? He assumes they would not hold such influence otherwise.]] FakeProwl 9:19 pm Nor have I agreed to do anything. Let me assure you—none of us are going to do anything until we're confident /and/ you're confident that it's not going to get you all killed. But you're in an intolerable situation, and we DO have the resources to change that. Magnum Ace 9:19 pm They are. Most of the material Earth needs comes from them And we're not...we're fine where we are Bull 9:20 pm And we are /not/ in an intolerable situation. FakeProwl 9:20 pm ... Mhmm. Electrocution, did you say? Magnum Ace 9:20 pm ........ ItsyBitsySpyers 9:21 pm {{Bird want funny hat.}} {{Maybe bow. It nice.}} Magnum Ace 9:21 pm It's becoming illegal to do that in sports now. FakeProwl 9:21 pm And I was showed a most intriguing video of a pitcher executing one batter after another with overpowered pitches. Swoop 9:21 pm *giggles with a hand over his mouth* You Bird do hat and bow for Dancitron, huh? Magnum Ace 9:21 pm If you mean Gold Arm, he doesn't do that anymore ItsyBitsySpyers 9:22 pm {{Bird sing fancy song if got.}} Bull 9:22 pm I don't think anyone will miss those pitches. Magnum Ace 9:22 pm No, and he's better off without them now Swoop 9:23 pm *giggles and bounces a little* ((why do the birds have cleavage)) Whirl 9:23 pm ((because Don Bluth)) Bevel 9:24 pm ((Henri has them too tho? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm ((you've heard of chicken breasts aintcha)) Bevel 9:24 pm *trying to pay attention to what's going on over by Soundwave and also the movie* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:25 pm [[It pleases him to know that someone is working on making it illegal. Do you think it will face much opposition?]] Magnum Ace 9:26 pm ....it probably depends on the team, but it shouldn't. Dark is also one of the ones that picked it up ItsyBitsySpyers 9:26 pm [[...They are making their own process illegal?]] FakeProwl 9:26 pm Yes, you mentioned they're reforming. /Slowly./ Bull 9:27 pm *Never thought he'd see Giroti reform, but is happy about the change* Magnum Ace 9:27 pm It's...yes they are, and just because it isn't fast doesn't mean it isn't being done ItsyBitsySpyers 9:30 pm [[That is odd. He wonders what they plan to do without their mechs.]] FakeProwl 9:30 pm Don't get ahead of yourself, Soundwave, he didn't mention outlawing slavery. Did you? Bull 9:30 pm They're not gone. Gold Arm and his brothers are getting ready for next season. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:31 pm *He isn't getting ahead of himself, don't worry. Just hoping they'd correct him themselves.* Magnum Ace 9:31 pm ..... FakeProwl 9:31 pm *Prowl knows. He's helping ensure it's pushed that direction.* *It's harder for them to dodge the implication when it's turned into a direct question.* Bull 9:32 pm ..... ItsyBitsySpyers 9:33 pm *Ravage crosses his paws. This one is resourceful, for a mouse. How long can he survive?* Magnum Ace 9:33 pm -there is no good way out of this- Bull 9:33 pm *nope...* Magnum Ace 9:34 pm -he's going to try- Bull 9:34 pm *good luck* Magnum Ace 9:34 pm We do have options Swoop 9:35 pm *has no idea what he's even watching* FakeProwl 9:36 pm Right, yes. You mentioned. Military conscription being primary among them, yes? Swoop 9:36 pm *gets up to get some drinks to go with the pile of goodies* *cause what even was that* Magnum Ace 9:36 pm ............. Bull 9:36 pm *Bull tenses* Magnum Ace 9:36 pm No, that's not... ItsyBitsySpyers 9:36 pm =THAT is a cat?= Whirl 9:36 pm Apparently. Magnum Ace 9:37 pm It's why some leaguers vanish, not because they wanted to ItsyBitsySpyers 9:37 pm *Looks and sounds like a bunch of dogs to him. All that graceless scrambling and horrible breath and grating growling.* FakeProwl 9:37 pm So. Please, permit me to summarize. Whirl 9:37 pm *see that's how Whirl would describe Seekers* Bull 9:38 pm *please no* Magnum Ace 9:38 pm -oh no- Bull 9:38 pm *Bull's horns sink back slowly* Swoop 9:39 pm *comes back with two equal size cubes of energon, offers one to Bird* FakeProwl 9:39 pm Most of you are enslaved and perform for the entertainment of humans. The fact that they are making this entertainment less brutal does not change the fact that you are still enslaved and still perform. A very small number of you manage to get out, where you have very few rights and very few job options. And there's still a considerable probability that you'll randomly disappear and be sent off to fight in another species's wars. Magnum Ace 9:39 pm -sinking in his seat now- Swoop 9:39 pm Wawwy FakeProwl 9:40 pm And so, I have a question. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:40 pm *She scoops the cube up and just. sticks the whole bottom half of her face in.* Bull 9:40 pm *Bull wants to disappear* Magnum Ace 9:40 pm -same for him- FakeProwl 9:41 pm What good does it do you—or any of your friends and loved ones trapped with you—to claim the situation is tolerable and to try to hide how bad it is? Will you, somehow, stop being slaves if you dodge questions about whether or not you're enslaved? Swoop 9:42 pm *can't NOT giggle at that* Bird soup Bull 9:42 pm Things are different for us... We're trying to change it for all other Leaguers Magnum Ace 9:42 pm Because we're not going to leave it like that Windchill 9:43 pm *Is here conveniently after a song is over.* Magnum Ace 9:44 pm None of us are, and just because the change isn't big, we're still making it, and we can't do that if what change or allies we've got are taken away Windchill 9:45 pm *Isn't sure what he walked into, but he's going to find a seat.* Magnum Ace 9:45 pm We know it's a bad situation, but it's tolerable because we can make a change for the better, not because it's a good situation Whirl 9:45 pm *bobs his head in greeting* Windchill 9:46 pm *Waves.* Swoop 9:46 pm *snuggles into the side of Mt. Pillow* Windchill 9:47 pm ...Their plan is witchcraft? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:47 pm *Bird pushes the now-empty cube away and pats Swoop's forehead with a feeler.*
*Good minion.* Windchill 9:48 pm *He doesn't bother to follow along, honestly.* Swoop 9:48 pm *peeps* FakeProwl 9:48 pm So you're trying to change it. You don't think you might benefit from some allies who have fought the same fights before? Windchill 9:49 pm *POINTS* Bugs. *Lowers his hand. Wow.* Whirl 9:51 pm ((clearly he's never met archy)) Swoop 9:53 pm *snickers at the "secret weapon"* Windchill 9:54 pm It's so fat. Swoop 9:55 pm him not a tiiiiiiiiiiiger Windchill 9:56 pm *Racist mouse alert.* Magnum Ace 9:56 pm Well, what do you mean? I thought you didn't want me to tell the humans you guys existed Windchill 9:57 pm *turns off his audio receptors.* FakeProwl 9:57 pm You don't have to tell them for us to help. There's plenty we can do from behind the scenes. Bull 9:58 pm Like what? *Bull looks at Prowl warily* Whirl 9:58 pm *has completely zoned out by this point; he's long since shifted his posture and laid his head on his crossed arms. He's out* Ali 9:59 pm ((OK I can use it on my phone so I can't change anything but it works.)) ((this is Ali/Crosscut btw.)) FakeProwl 9:59 pm For example—as I was mentioning earlier, this... Seagull human. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:59 pm ((welcome!)) Windchill 10:01 pm *Smacks his lips grossly.* Magnum Ace 10:01 pm He's left us alone FakeProwl 10:01 pm Then if he has somehow magically reformed, consider this an example that we don't need to pursue. Ali 10:01 pm -comes in and takes a seat.- Sorry I'm late, quite late by the look of it. FakeProwl 10:01 pm If he abuses one population that's lower on the social ladder than him—the leaguers—then it is nearly guaranteed that he abuses other populations that are lower than him. And if he abuses other people—humans that have less power than him—then there's evidence of it. Magnum Ace 10:01 pm ...all right FakeProwl 10:01 pm And if there's evidence of it, we can find it. Swoop 10:02 pm *perks up at fire* Magnum Ace 10:02 pm ...really? Windchill 10:02 pm *Turns his ears back on.* FakeProwl 10:03 pm If the things we catch him doing are deplorable, but legal, we get an anonymous source to the media. His name is ruined, he loses some business. How much depends on how bad it is and how slow the media day is. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:03 pm {{It okay. Late better than nothing, heh.}} Swoop 10:03 pm *bursts out laughing, then slaps both hands over his mouth to muffle it, glancing between Bird and the screen* Bull 10:04 pm Just don't do anything to which can tie back to any team... That would do more damage than you could know. Ali 10:04 pm I see you all are taking interest in earth's art of animation. It's fairly interesting the lengths they go for entertainments sake on that planet. FakeProwl 10:04 pm If the things we catch him doing are NOT legal... we get an anonymous source to the police instead, AND to the media, to make it a little harder for his family to make the scandal go away. Best case scenario, he goes to jail. Worst case scenario, he and his family still waste a great deal of time and money getting him out of trouble, time and money they can't spend on other things—like trying to fight a legal battle designed to keep you enslaved. Windchill 10:04 pm *Rests his chin in his hand.* FakeProwl 10:05 pm Now, if, as you say, he's now completely unimportant, we don't need to do any of that. As I said, it's just an example. Windchill 10:05 pm Cats can swim. FakeProwl 10:05 pm But it's well within our resources. And no need to tie it back to Silver Castle. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:05 pm {{Bird likes plan. You Swoop can do?}}
*Soundwave internally notes that politicians can also be bribed... and since plenty of them are corrupt as a matter of course, a few carefully blackmailed.* Swoop 10:05 pm What plan? Fireworks? Keheh. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:06 pm *A little filth to get some cleaner legislation. A taste of the old days.* Windchill 10:06 pm *Points.* Horses. Magnum Ace 10:06 pm ...yeah...I... -wasn't prepared for this. At all- FakeProwl 10:07 pm A decision doesn't need to be made right now. But you can consider it. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:07 pm {{Bird like Earth cartoons, yes. Them make animals sing lots.}} Magnum Ace 10:08 pm -he hopes Soundwave doesn't mind the internal screaming- Bull 10:08 pm *Bull will stay far away from any unpleasant media stories; has had enough of that for a lifetime* Swoop 10:08 pm Us watch more music cartoon then! : > Magnum Ace 10:08 pm -because he wasn't made for this- ItsyBitsySpyers 10:08 pm *It's nothing Soundwave isn't used to.*
{{Firework, roll on cart, chase.}} Swoop 10:09 pm Us do that too! Magnum Ace 10:10 pm -good, because he's got no idea what he's doing now- Ali 10:10 pm ((Pfft Dawn Bluth faces are so wrinkley and cute)) Swoop 10:10 pm Bird Magnum Ace 10:10 pm -pats Bull, though. He knows about bad media on the football leaguer's part- Windchill 10:12 pm *He's gonna doze for the rest of the film, probably.* Magnum Ace 10:12 pm I'll talk to the rest of the team about this. Whirl 10:12 pm *join Whirl in napland* Bull 10:12 pm I don't know how they'll react... Windchill 10:12 pm *Consider urself joined.* Magnum Ace 10:13 pm -sighs- We can worry about that later, Bull ItsyBitsySpyers 10:15 pm [[If there are emergencies in the meantime, contact him. He will find a way to secure you and hide you here.]]
*They're small enough to fit in at the minicon complex, and it's close enough he can watch it for intruders without difficulty* Magnum Ace 10:15 pm We'll keep that in mind. FakeProwl 10:16 pm They'll certainly have a hard time reaching you on a planet they've never heard of before in a separate universe. Magnum Ace 10:16 pm The worst has only been a few anons making things weird, though Bull 10:16 pm Though we wouldn't be able to leave without the humans of our team. If we're in danger, so would they. Swoop 10:16 pm Bird Ali 10:17 pm ((Yeah what's going on in our tumblr universe anyhow? I've been gone for what seems like a long time and skype doesn't work for me anymore so I've only been on discord )) Bull 10:17 pm *knows Ryuken would never leave without Ruri* Ali 10:17 pm ((anything of note I missed?)) FakeProwl 10:17 pm ((not really. prowl's finally about to get free tho ;v;)) Windchill 10:17 pm *Peeks one eye open.* Bevel 10:17 pm ((yay freedom FakeProwl 10:17 pm ((we haven't been having much in the way of Group Plots, everyone's off doing their private plots.)) Magnum Ace 10:18 pm -Ryuken and the rest of the original Silver Castle aren't leaving her- FakeProwl 10:18 pm ... *glances at Soundwave* If they need to bring some humans along—the Lost Light is still filtering its atmosphere for human residents. Bevel 10:18 pm *fiddles with a few treats she hasn't eaten* Ali 10:18 pm (((ooooh! no more jail for Prowl?)) FakeProwl 10:18 pm But it would be better if we can arrange a safehouse for them that doesn't require involving a separate crew. ((Sorta. The Constructicons are going free with curfew; Prowl's /technically/ going to stay locked up, but his avatar's going to get a lot more liberties to go anywhere/do anything, instead of just sneaking out to one or two secret locations.)) ((So, for practical purposes, no more jail.)) Magnum Ace 10:20 pm -just glad they didn't dig any further- Ali 10:21 pm ((Eh better than nothing ItsyBitsySpyers 10:21 pm [[We have no fleshling-safe areas here.]] *Tap. Tap.* [[He supposes he could speak to our Autobots about their organics. Find arrangements.]] *It'll cost him, but he'll worry about it if it comes to that. The Leaguers can't be allowed to sacrifice themselves for the organics who have put them in this position.* Bull 10:21 pm *ssshhhhhhhh* Swoop 10:21 pm *giggles* Bird Bevel 10:21 pm Soundwave, the greenhouse. Ali 10:21 pm Maybe we can finally plan that double date with him, Soundwave and Hoist.)) ItsyBitsySpyers 10:21 pm {{What?}} Magnum Ace 10:21 pm -it wasn't out loud, he's fine. Right?- FakeProwl 10:21 pm ((yeees)) Swoop 10:21 pm Me Swoop love You : > Bull 10:21 pm *hopefully* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:22 pm [[Your creator would spit rivets if he asked to host them in the greenhouse.]] [[They would eat his collection. That is what organics do.]] FakeProwl 10:22 pm If any humans /do/ come here, unfortunately, they can't be given much information about the planet. CERTAINLY nothing about its location or about our bridge technology. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:22 pm {{You Swoop shh. Bird headache.}} *Convenient, no?* Swoop 10:22 pm Kay Bevel 10:23 pm The carnivorous ones might eat them I guess. *thinks* Swoop 10:23 pm *lays back down on Mt. Pillow* Magnum Ace 10:23 pm :: Don't jinx it, Bull :: Whirl 10:23 pm *blinks awake and streeetches with his claws directly out in front of him like cat* Swoop 10:23 pm :V ItsyBitsySpyers 10:23 pm ((and yeeees the double date)) FakeProwl 10:23 pm *"your creator" = must be Ratchet, the other one's dead. Greenhouse, huh?* You don't need to get greenhouse access, you could just find out what equipment is used to maintain its environment. Surely you've got something you could trade her for the information. Windchill 10:24 pm *Watches Whirl with one eye.* Bull 10:24 pm :: My lips are sealed. :: Windchill 10:24 pm Whirl! You're not...dead. FakeProwl 10:24 pm ... Or perhaps I could get something. Plants, yes? Windchill 10:24 pm *Grumbles in disappointment.* Whirl 10:24 pm Not yet. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:24 pm *Ravage slooooowly reaches out a paw like he's gonna bap The Claw* [[Plants.]] Whirl 10:24 pm You'll know when I'm dead, SOMEONE'S bound to throw a huge party. Windchill 10:25 pm Yeah. It'll be me. Bevel 10:25 pm I can ask if she would trade! Magnum Ace 10:25 pm :: ...hopefully the rest of the team takes it better than we did. :: FakeProwl 10:25 pm Hm. I might be able to get something from Quark... Whirl 10:26 pm *nods solemnly; it's what he would want, and then looks very sharpll at Ravage and the creeping paw* What? Bull 10:26 pm :: Somehow I doubt it, for most. Especially Top Joy and Windy. :: ItsyBitsySpyers 10:26 pm *Ravage swats an invisible something in the air instead.* =Ferrous fly. He got it.= Ali 10:26 pm -leans back in his seat and watches the conversations go on- Magnum Ace 10:26 pm :: Ryuken is not going to want anything to do with it :: Swoop 10:27 pm *doesn't want to leave Bird but doesn't know what else to do so..... he is just going to go to sleep now, have fun dealing with him later, Soundwave/Bird* Windchill 10:27 pm *At least the music choice is tolerable.* Whirl 10:27 pm Oh. Right. Damn, am I that stinky? *makes a show of sniffing himself* Magnum Ace 10:27 pm :: Especially since it might involve being separated from Owner. :: Bull 10:27 pm :: Silkie is going to go 'mother-hen' over Carl and the others. :: ItsyBitsySpyers 10:28 pm [[Ratchet and Quark together should produce more than enough data.]]
*Bird will try to lift Swoop outside later and enlist the twins when that doesn't work. Swoop will probably be posed funny on a rock somewhere.* Swoop 10:28 pm *as you do* ((night)) FakeProwl 10:28 pm I meant for a plant to trade. Magnum Ace 10:28 pm :: Oh...Silky is going to kill us. :: ItsyBitsySpyers 10:28 pm ((night)) FakeProwl 10:28 pm ... Although I wouldn't be able to pick it up from Quark. *glances at Soundwave* And I'd rather not stick you in that situation. Bull 10:28 pm :: GZ might beat him to it. :: Windchill 10:28 pm *Leans over to sniff Whirl, too.* Ali 10:29 pm ((Soundwave, we're we gonna continue our thread with cc and rumble btw?)) ItsyBitsySpyers 10:29 pm *Points to Bevel.* [[Send her. It is her creator's trade.]] ((sure! it'll be a couple days cause i'm trying to finish some last minute cram stuff but then yes o7)) Magnum Ace 10:29 pm :: ...we're going to need a running start for this news :: Bevel 10:29 pm *perks up at the prospect of being helpful* FakeProwl 10:29 pm ... Hm. Windchill 10:29 pm *Ears perk.* Bull 10:30 pm :: I'll ask Meckel to hide his pucks... both kinds. :: ItsyBitsySpyers 10:30 pm =Not stinky.= *Ravage edges forward to sniff Whirl.* =But you have a smell.= FakeProwl 10:30 pm *looks at Bevel and hears "Blurr is really fun to hang out with when he isn’t killing bots".* Whirl 10:30 pm *patiently allows the smellening from these two* Magnum Ace 10:30 pm :: And how are we supposed to keep ahead of Windy? :: ItsyBitsySpyers 10:31 pm *Sniff. Sniff. SNIIIIIFFFFFF.*
=Smells like Whirl.= Bevel 10:31 pm *sorry prowl it's her seeing the good in everyone whoops* Bull 10:31 pm :: I'm not the one who needs to worry about him the most. He's gonna gun immediately to you. :: Windchill 10:31 pm *Sniffs really hard.* Ali 10:31 pm such a good music video Windchill 10:31 pm *He's really getting into all of this sniffing.* Smells gross. Magnum Ace 10:31 pm :: /thanks/ :: Whirl 10:31 pm I know. Remember who you're talking to. *taps the side of his helm* ... *the sniffing is intensifying* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:31 pm [[...He would not recommend sending her as you, though. She has heard too many details as it is.]] Whirl 10:31 pm What're you two up to? *peers* Windchill 10:32 pm *Sniffs.* ItsyBitsySpyers 10:32 pm *Bobbing. He ended up finding that amusing after the annoyance at being imitated faded.* Bull 10:32 pm :: You're over looking the one who we both need to fear the most... Owner... :: Magnum Ace 10:32 pm :: We're not telling her. Not right now. :: Bevel 10:32 pm I do not think I could act like Prowl even if I wanted to. FakeProwl 10:32 pm *"Seeing the good in" shouldn't mean "ignoring the evil in."* *Disgusted look* I would never. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:33 pm =Testing ripeness.= Magnum Ace 10:33 pm :: She will not take this well. At all :: Bull 10:33 pm :: Like /last time/? If Top Joy knows, she'll know in a heartbeat. :: Whirl 10:33 pm *snorts* I'm not ready for the dinner table YET. All right, get your last sniffs in, you two, cos I'm out. Windchill 10:34 pm *Sniffs so hard he snorts.* Magnum Ace 10:34 pm :: If I have to deal with Windy, you can talk to Owner. :: Bevel 10:34 pm *yeah probably but confrontation that doesn't involve swords to faces is hard* Bull 10:34 pm :: ...You're evil, you know that? :: ItsyBitsySpyers 10:34 pm *Ravage loses his seriousness at the snort and sits back to laugh.* Magnum Ace 10:35 pm :: I'm just choosing my battles :: Windchill 10:35 pm *Makes a face; now the Whirl smell is caught in the back of his throat.* Ali 10:36 pm -attempt to approach Prowl and get his attention without touching- It's good to see you again, it's been a while. Bull 10:36 pm :: And I feel like I'm on the losing end. :: Whirl 10:36 pm *good luck getting THAT out of your system* Windchill 10:36 pm *You assume he wants to.* Whirl 10:36 pm G'night you losers. *salutes* Back to my lordly mountain abode. Magnum Ace 10:36 pm :: Good luck. I'll probably be on the other end of the city when you're talking to her :: Windchill 10:36 pm *The face evolves to overacted gagging.* FakeProwl 10:36 pm *glances up.* Ah. Crosscut. It has, yes. Windchill 10:36 pm *Recovers miraculously.* Bevel 10:37 pm *salutes back at Whirl* Windchill 10:37 pm Bye, sucker. Bull 10:37 pm :: I'll get Jurota to track you down. :: FakeProwl 10:37 pm How are you? Settling in on Cybertron? ItsyBitsySpyers 10:37 pm [[Goodnight, Whirl.]] Magnum Ace 10:38 pm :: You won't need to. Just find Windy. He's going to be after me once we tell them this :: Whirl 10:38 pm *one last head bob and he's gone* Windchill 10:38 pm *Blows a kiss. It's smelly.* Bull 10:38 pm :: What are you gonna tell Richard? :: Magnum Ace 10:38 pm :: /Nothing/ :: Windchill 10:38 pm *Can't believe Whirl left him to sing this by himself.* *Here he goes.* Magnum Ace 10:39 pm :: Can you imagine what he'd do? :: Bull 10:39 pm :: Have fun with that. He appears out of nowhere better than Jurota and Top Joy. :: Windchill 10:39 pm *It wasn't intended for a soprano but, dammit, it's not like anyone is going to stop him.* Bull 10:39 pm :: Oh boy... 'Not telling them anything' will be alot harder with him around. :: Ali 10:39 pm ((Oh shit toto!!)) Magnum Ace 10:40 pm :: I know. He's...I swear he teleports some days. :: -might have just buried his face in his knees- Ali 10:41 pm Well...not sure exactly. Alright I suppose, I haven't left my current living space lately. Magnum Ace 10:41 pm -he forgot about Richard- Bull 10:41 pm :: I wouldn't be surprised if that was his preferred mode of transportation. :: *pats Magnum's back* FakeProwl 10:41 pm Mm? Not in the mood or nowhere worth visiting? Bull 10:42 pm :: Just pray that he's over at Dark's HQ when we tell everyone. :: Magnum Ace 10:42 pm :: He's going to make this so much harder :: :: Oh. Should we tell my bothers and the Gold brothers? :: Ali 10:43 pm I'm not really sure, I've felt lethargic as of late. I suppose it's to do with my trying to write again, it's taking up most of my time and energy, but I don't think I should allow myself to get that way. I'm going to try and get out more. Windchill 10:43 pm *Stretches, but he'll hang around for Depeche Mode.* Ali 10:43 pm So, let me know if you have any recommendations on places to visit and such I suppose. Bull 10:43 pm :: You know Gold Arm and his brothers would never accept 'protection'. They rather fight to the end. :: Magnum Ace 10:44 pm :: I know, but...give them the option? :: Bull 10:44 pm :: As for your brothers... I don't know them as well as you do. How do you think they would react? :: Bevel 10:44 pm *enough time has passed that Bevel is gonna ping Soundwave* Should I ask Mom about the organic air stuff? Magnum Ace 10:44 pm :: .....I don't know. I'd hope they'd accept..but..I don't know them anymore. Not like I once did. :: FakeProwl 10:44 pm *laughs* If I hear rumors about any, I'll pass them on to you. Bull 10:45 pm :: At least the option; though full details could probably be left out or cut short. :: ItsyBitsySpyers 10:45 pm *Soundwave sits up and looks over to Bevel.*
[[Yes. If we do not use it for this, he will find a use for it himself. He can think of several.]] *He already came up with one before the movie started.* Bull 10:45 pm *gives Magnum a sympathetic look* Ali 10:46 pm Hm, you know I don't believe I've heard you laugh much before, it sounds nice. Things must be going well Magnum Ace 10:46 pm :: You know...I haven't spoken to them since the season ended. :: Bevel 10:46 pm Ok. *she needed to visit New Praxus anyway* Magnum Ace 10:47 pm :: And they haven't tried to contact me either. :: Bull 10:47 pm :: Maybe you should talk to them if you can. ...Without mention of 'alien' safehouses. For a start anyways. :: FakeProwl 10:47 pm *jaw sort of half-drops as he tries to figure out how to reply to that. that was among the least heartfelt laughs to ever come out of Prowl's mouth. But if Crosscut couldn't tell the difference—* ... Can't complain. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:48 pm *It would be nice to not have to go all the way to Earth when he needs fresh emus and ostriches for his plant. Keep a few of them penned up and safe in a cavern down below...* FakeProwl 10:49 pm *Prowl's got no interest in trying to explain that he's actually currently living in that gap somewhere between miserable and numb, thanks for asking though.* Magnum Ace 10:49 pm :: I should...but...what do I say? If they even pick up. :: Bull 10:49 pm *Bull makes a thoughtful sound* Ali 10:51 pm -can't say he has much experience hearing laughter from Prowl, so it was a bit hard to tell with him- Anything new? -why was he struggling so much with basic conversation? had he locked himself up THAT long that it was effecting his social skills? he's usually quite good at this sort of thing, what's wrong with him?- Bull 10:51 pm :: I don't have siblings so I don't know if I can give the best advice. But knowing how they were during the finals, challenge them to a friendly off season match. Surprise them a little. :: Windchill 10:51 pm *Gets to his feet. He has work to do.* Magnum Ace 10:52 pm -sighs- FakeProwl 10:53 pm ... No, actually. Nothing new. *Bonecrusher had a mental breakdown and the fallout has been ruling Prowl and the Constructicons' lives ever since. DEFINITELY not sharing that.* Not much changes when you're locked up. Magnum Ace 10:53 pm :: It might work... :: Ali 10:53 pm Ah.. Windchill 10:54 pm *Gives a sweeping wave to the room in general.* I'm out, losers. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:54 pm *Soundwave bobs his head goodnight* Bull 10:54 pm :: If that don't work, ask the Gold Brothers. They may have some ideas. They would know better. :: Magnum Ace 10:55 pm :: Talking to them might go better than talking to my brothers... :: Windchill 10:55 pm *Wanders out.* Ali 10:56 pm -awkwardly taps his fingers on his own leg- FakeProwl 10:57 pm *considers asking Crosscut what's new with him; he just covered that, didn't he? Eesh.* ... What are you writing right now? Bull 10:57 pm :: Can't avoid them forever. Even I've learned that. :: Magnum Ace 10:57 pm :: Who? My brothers or the Gold brothers? :: :: Because if you mean the Gold brothers, I can try. :: :: Doesn't mean Arm isn't going to find me :: Bull 10:58 pm :: Heh, there is no avoiding the Gold Brothers. Or at least Gold Arm in your case; they are all persistent. :: Ali 10:58 pm Hm? Ah, well it's just a short story, nothing really too exciting but I just can't seem to get it how I like. Ironically it's about obsession with perfection but I suppose that's part of the reason I'm being so picky with how it's portrayed. FakeProwl 10:59 pm Ironic, yes. Ali 10:59 pm That and, I've felt distant and distracted so it's been taking me longer to get it down than usual. Magnum Ace 10:59 pm -that's a small snort of laughter- :: I'm surprised I haven't seen him all off season. :: FakeProwl 11:00 pm *distracted by what, he wonders; but it might be Clutch, and so in case it is he can't ask.* You think being among company might help fix that? Bull 11:00 pm :: Probably training like we've been. You know how he is, need to find a way to one up you with pitches. :: Bevel 11:01 pm *gonna head out* Ali 11:01 pm Perhaps, or at least I'm hoping so. Ali 11:02 pm -clutch was certainly part of that distraction, he'd still yet to come to a decision about it.- Magnum Ace 11:02 pm :: He's going to have fun trying to beat us this season :: Bull 11:03 pm *Bull Armor grins* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:03 pm *Soundwave will nod to Bevel* Bull 11:03 pm :: He and your brothers won't know what hit them. :: Magnum Ace 11:04 pm :: They'll know it was me, at the very least :: -when it came to the pitching- FakeProwl 11:06 pm Well. *looks for something else to say. fails. goes for a stock phrase.* ... Good luck. Bull 11:07 pm :: Heh. So, do we head out? Ruri will get suspicious if we're gone for too long. And I really don't want to tell her tonight. :: Ali 11:07 pm -Charming.- ...Thanks? FakeProwl 11:08 pm *ah! he knows how to answer this one.* You're welcome. Ali 11:08 pm hm. Magnum Ace 11:08 pm :: ....right...think we should hold off on telling the team too? :: ItsyBitsySpyers 11:09 pm ((i look up after accidentally dozing off and there's monsters snatching babies from cribs what even??)) Bull 11:09 pm :: For now. :: Ali 11:09 pm ((I wonder how they got the baby to cry so much for the video. it seems kinda fucked up)) FakeProwl 11:10 pm ((yeah i thought that the last time i saw it)) Magnum Ace 11:10 pm :: Right. Maybe try to think of a good way to put this... :: Ali 11:10 pm ((Pfft! Bull 11:11 pm :: Try being the appropriate word.:: FakeProwl 11:11 pm *All he got was a hm. Was that the wrong reply? Tries to think of something else to say.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:12 pm ((i have found this quote about the making of video for this video: " I assumed it was cleverly edited and that the kid wasn’t actually traumatized by monsters. But no, this new “making of” video shows they really let those monsters attack Baby Zachary, 18 months. Sure, he’s giggling between takes, but there are clearly moments when he’s upset." )) ((that's fucked up??)) Tarantulas 11:12 pm (( damn 😕/////////////////////// Ali 11:12 pm ((Oh gosh)) FakeProwl 11:12 pm ((yeah 😕)) Magnum Ace 11:12 pm ((aw man :: We'll think of something. :: Ali 11:14 pm -What was wrong with him? small talk was his usual strength, why was he having such a tough time with it?- FakeProwl 11:14 pm *To be fair, Crosscut is working with a subpar partner.* Magnum Ace 11:14 pm :: And I'll ask for a bridge home. :: Ali 11:14 pm -True, but still.- Magnum Ace 11:15 pm Hey, Soundwave? Think we should be going home now. -pointing to himself then Bull- Ali 11:15 pm Well..Maybe I should go. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm [[Hm?]] *Give him a second.* [[The bridge? The bridge. Of course.]] FakeProwl 11:15 pm ... Okay. Bye. *no wait he forgot to say something.* It was good to see you. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:16 pm [[It is there for both of you now. Try to stay out of harm's way.]] Magnum Ace 11:16 pm We will Bull 11:16 pm Thanks. Magnum Ace 11:17 pm -scrambles off the table- Thank you! Ali 11:17 pm Thanks.-the playwright got up with slumped shoulders.- It was good to see you as well, I hope we can again soon. goodbye. FakeProwl 11:17 pm *Considers saying something else to the leaguers as they go... no. He laid out the offer to them, he has nothing to add. So he just nods in farewell toward them.* *Back to Crosscut.* Mm. Indeed. Magnum Ace 11:18 pm -waves to both Prowl and Soundwave as he leaves- Bull 11:18 pm *waves as he follows Magnum* Magnum Ace 11:19 pm ((thanks for the stream, and stressing Ace out! 😀 ItsyBitsySpyers 11:19 pm (9you're welcome!)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:22 pm *Soundwave stretches out on the couch and settles in. He's getting tired. Long weekend.* FakeProwl 11:27 pm *Was it a weekend? Prowl can't keep track anymore.* *... Well, he CAN, he just has no reason to bother.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:27 pm *Soundwave does. Has to be there for his club.*
*Leeeeean.* FakeProwl 11:28 pm *Leans back against.*
... Another episode? *so hopeful.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:30 pm [[Mmmmm... not tonight. Recharge. Need it.]] *Pop that visor off.* [[Tomorrow. Many tomorrow.]] FakeProwl 11:30 pm Very well. Tomorrow. Immediately after my work shift? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:31 pm [[Yes. That is fine.]] FakeProwl 11:32 pm *offers a crest bump?* I'll see you then. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:32 pm *Bump. And then sort of a tired resting there.* [[Yes. See you.]] FakeProwl 11:33 pm *... He doesn't want to disappear while Soundwave is leaning on him.* Would you... like me to leave my avatar in idle mode? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:34 pm *Sits up straighter.* [[No, no.]] *Pause.* [[Yes. But no. Mind on your work. Safety first.]] FakeProwl 11:35 pm I don't have to be in my avatar to have it idle. *Gets comfortable against Soundwave.* Just ping me if you wake up and need me to turn it off. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:36 pm [[Oh.]] *Good.* [[Good. Okay.]]
*He's gonna get comfortable in that comfortable and go OUT like the lights he's covered in never do.* FakeProwl 11:36 pm *gets comfortable as well, dims his optics, and goes idle.*

CRAVE by Tracy Wolff thoughts: Ch 22 - ch 48
Full video here.
CH 22: Baby, it’s hot in here
Like, baby it’s cold outside?
Sooooo much internal monologuing about her first boyfriend and how no one has made her feel like Jaxon does…
“The big picture is that the most popular boys in school are obsessed with you”
“He looks at you like it physically hurts him not to be touching you. Baby, if he wanted you anymore he’d spontaneously combust”
Macy wants the tea about her and Jaxon
She says flint and him had a “massive pissing contest over her” lmao
“Are you trying to be reassuring or scare me?” “yes”
She tells heather ttyf? Am i stupid??? What does that mean?
TALK TO YOU FOREVER?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?
“It sounds like every cliche in the book, but he’s different around you. Somehow less intense, but more intense.”
“You can trust me, we’re family” and grace almost starts crying :(
CH 23: never bring an ice cream scoop to a gunfight
Macy FINALLY comes clean re: flint and jaxon are mortal enemies
“What is this the breakfast club? Even they figured out they could all get along” grace just be quiet and let the girl who actually knows wtf is up at this school tell you wtf is up. You been wanting her to talk for so long, be quiet.
Ooh something big happened a year ago that made them all break up into factions
It’s about hudson jaxon’s brother!
Or is his name spelled Hyudsin because stupid spellings
Ooh macy warned grace not to become the chew toy between flint and jaxon
CH 24: waffles are the way to a girl’s everything
I want to hate this but i fucking love waffles so like…
Someone’s texting her about her ankle...i thought it was jaxon...AND IT IS!
“I don’t know the punchline to whatever knock knock joke you’re setting up” I BURST OUT LAUGHING BECAUSE “he’s funny over text” ma’am...this isn’t funny? Maybe a lil snarky, but funny?
Now she’s telling jokes over text and we’re having a whole long stupid text fucking exchange….i hate this so much
Then he tries, “what do you get when you cross a vampire and a snowman? Frostbite” and my soul leaves my body because what in the 8th grade twilight fanfiction is happening…
She texts him brb instead of just responding when when she was done peeing and then he stops answering her, this used to happen to me with the toxic dudes i talked to in high school...am i reading too much into this? Idk yet
And then she’s spiraling about why he stopped texting and UGH I REMEMBER THIS FEELING!!!!!!!!!
Jaxon has food sent up to her room from the...cafeteria? Wtf…
He says he doesn’t like the food and she says “So what do you like to eat” and then is like “wow that sounded suggestive” lmao
And he says “i don’t think we’re there yet but let me know when we are” WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
CH 25: truly madly deeply bitten
And we’re really just gonna keep texting 21 questions
She loves tatbilb...i mean same lana condor is the loml, but
Jaxon loves rogue one………
I don’t care AT ALL. NOT ONE BIT DO I CARE, TRACY WOLFF.
“I wish i could ask the real jaxon vega to please stand up” i rolled my eyes but i also giggled
“You suck” “you have no idea how much” i threw up in my mouth.
Niall horan reference, hozier reference, rhianna reference
JAXON’S. FAVORITE. SONG. IS. TRULY. MADLY. DEEPLY.
INSERT SNAPCHAT OF ME CRYING LAUGHING HERE
Gambino reference, beethoven reference???, and then brown-eyed girl which personally offends me because my mom used to sing that to me
This makes her hands shake
She plays brown eyed girl a bunch of times
Then another woman comes to deliver a package to grace...from jaxon...it’s a library book
It’s twilight
Insert snap of me screaming stfu here
Macy is laughing her ass off about this because she isn’t stupid, she knows what jaxon is
And grace says she never read it when it was popular all those years ago…
Baby you said you liked reading. No way did you survive middle school without reading it.
And then he shows up!!!!!
She makes a shitty joke to lighten to the mood
He’s massaging her hurt ankle...oh shiiii
They ALMOST kiss
He gives her a little note wrapped in a ribbon
“I wonder how i’m going to keep this beautiful, broken boy from cracking my already battered heart wide open”
Hades voice: we were so CLOSE!
CH 26: the uniform doesn’t make the woman, but it sure brings out the insecurities
He ripped a page out of anais nin’s journals that says some shit like “i dreamed you, i wished for you”
So cute sentiment but you ripped a book my dude? Cardinal sin
Grace is finally going to class
The cafeteria is goth as fuuuuck
The music is “creepy af”
Jaxon sits next to her in front of everyone
CH 27: 10 degree weather gives a whole new meaning to “the cool kid’s table”
He sits in the super ornate chair backwards and it makes her horny
The order is kind of ragging on jaxon about being cute to grace which is funny
We get all the dude’s names at one - raphael luca liam mickey?? I think
“A dark and devastating desperation” in his eyes
And then we got byron who’s more angsty than jaxon - “mad bad and dangerous to know” just like his namesake
CH 28: “to be or not to be is a question, not a pick-up line”
Jaxon walks her to class
Wanting him feels like opening a vein
“I love the way your hair smells”
“My heart is beating like a heavy metal drummer”
We were so close!!!!!!!!!
We’re doing hamlet in class ofc
The teacher says “although you look like the shy type despite your association with katmere’s most notorious student”
Instead of just saying the halls are like playing frogger she describes the old video game where you try to get the frog across the road...is it just people in the south that say playing frogger when describing crossing traffic? Or is this a well known phrase??
Apparently there’s hidden tunnels so flint takes her to them
Her intuition is like BITCH DON’T GO IN THE TUNNELS but she ignores it AGAIN
CH 29: with friends like these, everyone needs hard hats
There are beds with shackles?!?!?!?!
Leah shows up and turns out they’re going to the same class? But flint insists on walking her to class…
Leah and flint are NOT friendly
Damn she offends flint with a buffalo bill joke
There’s bones in the tunnels and a giant chandelier in the rotunda that’s also made of bones…
There’s an earthquake!
CH 30: you make the earth shake under my feet, and everywhere else too
And it stops as soon as they get out of the tunnel
Jaxon is there and being a dick to flint and grace has HAD it
CH 31: big girls don’t cry, unless they want to
Grace gets hit with a basketball in gym
All the order has been walking her to class because jaxon knew she was mad at him
Does jaxon cause the earthquakes somehow?
She finally reads the texts jaxon had sent and feels bad for being mad at him when he was just worried - no he acted like a dick. Be mad.
She’s making sooooo many excuses for his anger: the earthquake, the fact that he’s already rescued her before so of course he’s worried…
Aww a student is playing autumn leaves which was her dad’s favorite song :(
She starts to boo-hoo “grief is a wild thing within me”
Civil twilight AGAIN
Jaxon is standing there when she finally stops
CH 32: it’s not a coincidence that denali and denial use all the same letters
He opens the door in the alcove and it’s like a clubhouse? Oh it’s his dorm room???? Confusion
So it’s like the living room and NOW he’s leading her into his bedroom
She says she’s terrified of him touching her because of the intensity but then says she has no trepidations about doing or being anywhere with him...ya just said...nvm
They go out to the roof
CH 33: Madonna’s not the only one with a lucky star
Please decide if grace is a silly teen who doesn’t know what frogger is or an old soul who loves madonna pls
She asks if he’s an alien…
And she tells him he’s the hottest person ever and that his scar makes him sexy as hell and he's all like “me?!” which is a nice role reversal
This is his favorite place
And there's a meteor shower!!
CH 34: all’s fair in love and earthquakes
Thanks i hate this
When she touches him she realizes how cold he is and thinks it’s from being outside which makes him act all weird
Someone please just tell this girl what’s going on!!!!!!!!! I HATE when the reader is 8,000 steps ahead of the MC
“A craving in his eyes” WE’VE SAID THE TITLE FOLKS!
She makes the move to close the space and says she’s dazzled, GUYS
She’s making the MOVE! “Did you ever want something but you were scared of taking it?” “yes” “what did you do” “i took it anyway” and then he kisses her!!!!!!
The kiss is as soft as a snowflake, as delicate as the permafrost
Then “his mouth goes crazy on mine lips tongue teeth, it’s a cacophony of sensations, a riot of pleasure”
“My knees go weak at his tongue on mine, just like one of those heroines in a novel”
His hands are vices on my biceps...his hands were around her back at first which seems way more romantic than manhandling her arms??
There’s an earthquake...and jaxon is like you have to go
A window breaks and cuts her and then she blacks out????
CH 35: baked alaska is more than just a yummy dessert
Intimidating af is the nurse
The glass nicked her artery!!!!!! The FUCK. or did jaxon bite her?????
Her mom died like that… yikes on bikes
He fucking bit her...this is a lie...i’m calling it…
FINN ABOUT TO COME CLEAN!!!...but the nurse stops him.
Macy is an OG bff she is the best
Or is grace the one making shit happen??
Grace notices the sheets are fixed but that macy never went to the bed
Macy asked what they were doing when the earthquake hit...WHY
CH 36: no harm, all foul
Grace goes after Jaxon and he’s like “our kiss didn’t matter”
He says he put her in a lot of danger by being around her, a “target on her back” and wants her to stay away from him but he can’t pull himself away
But then he does
CH 37: don’t ask the question if you can’t handle the answer
Leah drops the bomb that she and Jaxon are expected to carry on like a family dynasty sitch since Hudson died
CH 38: nothing says “i like you” like a fang to the throat
She’s freaking out of course
Mickey says jaxon def didn’t bit her and she’s even more confused and me too
Jaxon is in the mountains...he wants her to wait but she’s pissed
“I take a deep breath and hold onto it with both hands” ….?????
Because i have to hear it out loud, “what did make these marks?”
Say it, out loud
CH 39: there’s never a hallucinogen around when you need one
She’s furious and she should be! I’m glad she’s not replying to Jaxon
We finally get to the bottom of it all!!!!!!
Macy admits Jaxon is a vampire
Leah is one too!!!!
Flint is a dragon!!!!! CALLED IT
He’s got fire? With a name like flint how could he not PUKE
“Who needs LSD when you go to monster high?” Shut UP
Macy is a witch DUH
“You should have been one too”
CH 40: be careful what you witch for
GO FUCK YOURSELF WITH THIS TITLE
Grace’s dad was a warlock but he lost his power when he fell for grace’s mom...oh no was their accident like a magical mafia hit??
“What kind of witch are you if you can’t do something an 11 year old can?” “the kind that doesn’t come from JK Rowling’s brilliant imagination”...THAT aged poorly…
“This is a less bloody version of game of thrones” shut UP
The school nurse bit her because jaxon used his vampire venom to heal her cut, and it worked too well so she needed to cut through the healed skin with her vampire teeth
Because this is twilight satire so of course they have venom…
“So vampires can just override each other’s venom?”
Most of the vamps would have had a hard time not draining you dry, but not jaxon
I absolutely called it: witches, vampires, dragons, and werewolves confirmed.
CH 41: Vampires dragon and werewolves, oh my
This physically hurts
She’s kind of categorizing the students now that she knows which is totally something i would do
God almighty is flint just a jacob clone…
CH 42: good thing pancakes aren’t on today’s menu
The chandelier is falling onto her and someone pushes her out of the way - it’s jaxon!
His eyes smolder at her
She dresses his cut on his head and his arm
“I wouldn’t have had to save you if you were in your room where i told you to be” he grinds the last part out through clenched teeth
He finally lays it out that someone has been getting her hurt on purpose
CH 43: what doesn’t kill you still scares the hell out of you
Her uncle wants to talk to her before she sees jaxon again and i smell an info dump coming
Dangerous af
“Macy told me she spilled all the tea” said her UNCLE with no hint of like “is that what you kids say these days”. GTFO
“I wait for the other shoe to drop even though 100 have already fallen” that’s not how that idiom works
She’s like “how could he think i wouldn’t figure it out i knew something was wrong” no ma’am! No you didn’t!! You kept shrugging it off until chapter 24 at the EARLIEST when you settled on aliens
Getting the tea on the turf war between dragons and vampires - so it’s not like twilight because it’s not the werewolves. Whatever.
Uncle says it was probably some witch who got too loose with her powers and grace is like yeah no absolutely no one is trying to kill me it was yet ANOTHER freak accident
Uncle wants to sent her back to cali
CH 44: Sweet home alaska
So she doesn’t wanna go because of jaxon, not because her only family in the world is in Alaska….
It’s only been a WEEK
“I know jaxon can be...seductive” says her UNCLE
the guys in the order are born vampires, not made, it’s a v big deal
Info dump city re how vampirism is a genetic mutation…
There are 6 ancient families of vampires...this all sounds like the first draft of my new wip where I was trying to figure out how the secret society worked…
Then he says he’s not in the habit of talking students with other students….we just did...this whole chapter…
Another earthquake???
Ch 45: I always knew there was fire between us, I just didn’t know it was your breath
Dude shut up
She goes to the library and wonders if the books about vampires etc would be under non fiction or biology lmao
The librarian is a native Alaskan with elemental magic….yikes
She does a weird eye swirling “you’re more than you think you are” thing to grace
Flints in the library and she asks him about dragons and I swear to god if we get a chapter devoted to learning about each species via info dump I will burn this place to the ground
He singes the marshmallow with his fire breath, loves it
And he can breathe ice? He cools the water down
He can bloom flowers in his hand????
“They’re beautiful” “you’re beautiful” “but I’m not hitting on you??”
Because when I hit on you, it’ll be because you want me to!!!!! We Stan flint!!!
Ch 46: I’ll get you and your little dog too
Enough
Dry throat around flint now, oh shiiiiiii
Oh shit the order is on the move!! There’s trouble
She chases them into a classroom and sees jaxon making shit fly everywhere with just his mind...is he a vampire and a witch??
There’s a werewolf vampire brawl
Damn jaxon can freeze everyone with his mind!
She tries to stop him but he’s put up a barrier
She breaks through!!!!
And jaxon bites cole!!!!!!! ALMOST KILLS COLE!!!!!!!!!!!
“This is your only warning”
CH 47: the first bite is the deepest
Jaxon pulls grace away, this whole time grace’s inner monologue is her feeling responsible for the carnage
“I won’t hurt you” “I know” “you know? do you have a death wish?”
But jaxon is so disgusted at himself that she's just like “well did he deserve to almost be killed?” She has accepted this shit with sociopathic speed
“The power you wield...it’s unfathomable” sis has turned the corner
“You don’t scare me jaxon”
They flipped the script and she breaks down his defenses and it’s kind of hot ngl
She tells him she needs him and he bites her??????
Ch 48: is that a wooden stake in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
They’re getting worse
But it’s not a hurting bite it’s like a sex bite…like she describes an orgasm basically..
Then they kiss
The earthquakes are jaxon! Called it
At this point I am sooooo annoyed because just make him a witch!!!! We really wanted the twilight combo so badly we made him a telekinetic earth-shaking vampire?????????
They go to his room...and she goes to his drum kit instead of his bed, you dumb bitch
Now they’re talking in the bed
The jokes are just so fucking bad
He cuts them off by pulling her on top of him and kissing her!!! In bed!!!! We ain’t in twilight no more henny
“The kiss curls my toes but the yank curls everything else” wut
“I don’t want you anywhere near that world, and I sure as hell don’t want that world anywhere near you” - someone. Anyone. Take a second pass

The first episode of Queer Eye Season 2 is more emotional than all of season 1

The first episode of Queer Eye Season 2 is more emotional than all of season 1
Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot has been wildly successful, but the momentum behind it took a while to build. In fact, when news broke that Netflix was rebooting the classic Bravo show, the response was lukewarm at best. “The reaction we got before the show came out—when the show was announced—it wasn’t necessarily that positive,” Bobby Berk, one of the new members of the Fab Five, told Entertainment Weekly. “There were very few people that were like, ‘Yay! We’re so glad they’re bringing it back.’ It was, ‘Oh, they could never do better than the original cast. It’s never going to be as good.'”
Word-of-mouth cured that. Less than a week after the season premiered, Queer Eye 2.0 was ubiquitous. The new Fab Five — Jonathan Van Ness (grooming), Antoni Porowski (food), Tan France (style), Karamo Brown (culture), and Bobby Berk (design) — soon became household names. Most notably, everyone kept saying how the show made them cry:
Just started queer eye and I can’t stop crying happy tears 😭

Help I can’t stop crying at the end of every episode of Queer Eye

@QueerEye is the most heartwarming show I have ever seen. I can’t stop smiling/crying

It was surprising at first because the original Queer Eye wasn’t sentimental at all. While groundbreaking and culturally important, it was largely surface-based; the makeovers were fleeting and mostly external, with the Fab Five offering comedic commentary when appropriate.
Are Tom and Abby from Queer Eye still together?
The new Queer Eye is different, though. Yes, the guys still offer external makeovers — Van Ness trims up beards, France picks out pastels, and Berk completely reimagines living spaces — but the real work is internal. The Fab Five pair their cosmetic expertise with empathy. They get to the bottom of why their clients have been neglecting themselves for so long. Usually, those conversations end with someone crying, which, you guessed it, makes the viewers cry too. The takeaway from Queer Eye 2.0 isn’t to wear pants that fit; it’s that you’re worth self-care. That message — as schmaltzy and earnest as it sounds — really resonated with people, myself included. The first season quite literally epitomised the phrase, “I’m not crying, you’re crying.”
I’m not crying, you’re crying. 😭 The Fab 5 are back to help a new set of heroes become their fiercest selves. 💅 Queer Eye returns June 15, only on Netflix. 🌈💫 pic.twitter.com/S4BTy0FczX

And the first episode of season two does the same thing, times infinity. No joke: There are more tears and hugs and social commentary in the Queer Eye season two opener than there were in the entire first season. Oh, and there’s more Bobby Berk too, which, thank God; he’s finally getting the shine he deserves. (He gut-renovates houses in, like, three days, people! I love Antoni Porowski and his avocados, but Mr. Berk is the true M.V.P. of this operation.)
Granted, all of Queer Eye season two is emotional, which you’ll find out after you binge-watch it this weekend. But for our purposes, let’s focus on the opening hero: Tammye, the series’ first-ever woman. She’s a teacher, a mother, a volunteer, and she practically runs her church on the weekends. Not only that, her son, Miles, is gay, which at first was problematic given their Southern and religious upbringing but now seems to be OK. Their bathroom needs some serious work — as does the community center where Tammye hosts church functions. All these elements — religion, homosexuality, and selfless people — existed in the first season of Queer Eye, just in different episodes. But together? Oof. Stand back, because we’ve just created a perfect storm of weepiness — and Jonathan Van Ness puns.
Below, just 17 spoiler-free highlights from the first episode of Queer Eye Season 2:
When Tammye smirks at a producer when they ask if she eats fast food. “I eat fast food,” she says with a knowing glance. Girl, literally same. No amount of Antoni’s fresh guacamole will pry the Chipotle out of my hands.
When Bobby decides not to go inside Tammye’s church—remember, he has issues with religion—and Karamo jokes, “You look like the gay that’s scared they’re gonna burn when they cross the [church] door.” Religious or not, that’s hilarious.
The fact that the city they’re in is Gay, Georgia. Gay! Why don’t I live there?
Jonathan’s description of Gay, Georgia: “Picture it: You’ve clicked on Netflix and you turn on that Bob Ross collection they have on there now. So peaceful! You’re taking a little gander. You see a little side street. You’re like, ‘Let me go down there.’ You come across a horse farm [and] some little birds living up there. Some hay over there. That’s Tammye’s house.” Moving in immediately.
Antoni’s pure excitement when he walks into Tammye’s house and smells something frying.
The fact that Tammye calls her bathroom her “creative mess.” My excuse for not doing dishes, TBH.
When Tammye asks the Fab Five in the most serious way, “You’re gonna make me look like a diva?”
The fact that Antoni’s so bored in this episode (because Tammye doesn’t need his help) that he makes a house of cards.
The heartfelt conversation Tammye and Bobby have about religion. BRB, swimming in my own tears.
Karamo: “You just upped the population of gay men in Gay, Georgia, by five.” Jonathan: “Yes, we’re about to open up a club, henney!”
Honestly any time Tammye talks about her gay son.
OK, but why does Bobby only get ample screen time when he talks about his emotional trauma with religion?!
For the record: Jonathan says “Steel Magnolias moment” twice in this episode. I love him.
“Are y’all ready for Foxy Mama?” Tammye to the Fab Five after she gets her makeover. Also: What I say every time I leave the house.
When Bobby, who always has the most work to do, laughs at Antoni because he has to make pasta salad for 200 people. Sweet revenge!
When Tammye says goodbye to all the members of the Fab Five individually like she’s Dorothy leaving Oz.
That’s all I’m going to share with you. You’re going to have to watch this episode — and the entire new season of Queer Eye — to find out the rest. Buy some tissues.
The Queer Eye 2 trailer is here… yaaaaas Queen!
