redacted audio headcanons: elliott & sunshine edition

im in my elliott & sunshine era rn it seems. i cant stop thinking abt them. so heres some of my hc for them! the sunshine hc’s are specifically for my oc (charlie, he/they), but im keeping it neutral so others can apply it to their oc’s/sunshine hc’s maybe :0

!! CW FOR MENT. OF SUNSHINE’S ACCIDENT. ALSO SOME 18+, MINORS DNI !!

; t4t elliott & sunshine. i don’t make the rules, i just enforce them

; following that thought, sunshine, geordi & guy were all elliott’s caretakers after he got top surgery

; elliott & aaron’s last name is hawkins, but elliott is technically elliott lewis-hawkins. his last name is hyphenated because ‘lewis’ was the name of his first foster family (they were the best one he had had at that point, but when the mom got pregnant they realized they couldn’t support two kids), so he uses their name to remember them by

; sunshine has a prosthetic leg from their accident. they walk with a cane or sometimes use a wheelchair during extra bad pain days, or when it rains. their prosthetic starts under their knee. they also have lots of small scars from the glass across their body, mostly arms

; elliott has called sunshine “sunshine” since they first met basically. but, when guy heard sunshine call elliott “dreamboat” one random day, he made the joke that their ship name would be “daydream”. since then, whenever guy talks about the two of them, he refers to them as “daydream” (ex: “yeah i’m just in a call with geordi and daydream, what’s up?”)

; they have matching yellow lego charms that make a heart when you put them together (like this but yellow)

; (18+) they both have horrible oral fixations (canon but still). they both could live between each others thighs. the 69 position is one of their favorites because of that

; sunshine and cutie used to go to school together, but after cutie’s powers manifested they kinda stopped hanging out. sunshine never really liked cutie tbh. they aren’t aware that cutie is empowered

; sunshine and treasure are cousins, and treasure was the first person sunshine told about their (completely obvious) crush on eli when they realized they liked him

; eli’s favorite color is lavender, and also loves lavender scented things (he has the lavender & iris spray from bath & body works and practically douses his bed in it. it smells divine btw)

; elliott had a wattpad account. what he read on that site is between him and god

; elliott is a lord of the rings nerd. you mean to tell me the guy who made a whole-ass fantasy d&d session dreamscape with his partner featuring a full-ass dragon isn’t a tolkien nerd??

; elliott also loves d&d. he hasn’t played a lot, but has enjoyed it when he did; he once dm’ed a one shot for his friend group and it was a crazy ass story. he likes worldbuilding and character backstories the most

; sunshine collects cds from thrift stores. even from artists they don’t know anything about

; besides their house, elliott and sunshine have also discussed getting animals together. they decided on a dog named thor and a cat named mercury

; honey is elliott and aaron’s cousin. they don’t know elliott is empowered. honey and aaron are the two cousins who would disappear when they both got overwhelmed at a party

; elliott loves watching competition shows like “blown away”, he eats that shit up

; (18+) sunshine is a big reader, and absolutely eats up all different kinds of genres. sometimes elliott likes to “punish” them for not paying attention to him by using him mouth on them while they read erotica & edge them until they finish a specific number of chapters

; elliott hates tuna. like, haaaaates tuna. can't stand the smell, taste, texture, anything about it. the only thing he can handle about it is when its alive and intact; he can't even handle it in sushi

; in pjo, sunshine would be a child of apollo, and elliott would be a child of hypnos

; sunshine didn’t tell the group about the accident until they had a panic attack over a car crash in a movie. they had told elliott bits and pieces before that (and obviously he had seen their nightmares), but they felt as though they didn’t want to burden elliott and the rest of the group with their trauma

; OK SO. elliott and sunshine’s favorite movie collectively is “tangled”. i mean its their absolute fave. they watched it together on their first official date, it’s their comfort movie, they have matching jewelry of the sun symbol, theyve cosplayed/gone as flynn and rapunzel a bunch of times for halloween, etc. like these guys LOVE tangled. and apparently there’s a new disney ride of the lantern festival in disneyland tokyo. so, in a world where the balance didnt separate them, and theyre together and happy and healing, i like to imagine they decide to visit a disney and go on the ride if they have it there. and id like to imagine that when theyre in the lantern section, they both reach into their pockets and pull out boxes. and, with tears streaming down their faces and the biggest fucking grins imaginable, they propose to each other (and ofc they both say yes) <3

; the couple that are stoners together stay together <3 elliott likes to shotgun sunshine

; elliott is always the big spoon. he likes knowing hes protecting sunshine in both their dreams and in real life

━━━━

im so normal and regular about these two i promise (<- lying). i will add more as i see fit. also i might have a fic idea based on one of these headcanons, hehe :3c

#i love these two sooooooo fucking much guys #daydream my fucking beloveds #fun fact. the dog & cat thing was inspired by something an ex and i wanted to do when we lived together #its a fond memory for me so i decided to add it to them as well #dog.txt #redacted audio #elliott #sunshine #redacted elliott #redacted sunshine #redacted aaron #redacted geordi #redacted guy #redacted honey #redacted cutie #redacted treasure #redacted headcanons #redactedverse

hellooo could you please share the pages of the most iconic vicious quotes? I didnt tab my book the first time i read it and i have no time for a re-read 😵‍💫

(you can just share the page numbers btw! I’ll figure out the quotes somehow lmao) thanks ❤️

oh absolutely i can. this is like the best ask i've ever gotten

quotes and page numbers are below the cut. i have the american paperback version with the red cover in case there are differences in page numbers between editions

also last note before the quotes, i'm so curious what you're using them for. so if you're doing something fun with them, i would LOVE to know what it is but no pressure

All Eli had to do was smile. All Victor had to do was lie. Both proved frighteningly effective. -pg 17-18

Victor was out. Victor was free. And Victor was coming for Eli-- just as he'd promised he would. -pg 26

Hate was too simple a word. He and Eli were bonded, by blood and death and science. -pg 90

The paper called Eli a hero. The word made Victor laugh. Not just because it was absurd, but because it posed a question. If Eli really was a hero, and Victor meant to stop him, did that make him the villain? He took a long sip of his drink, tipped his head back against the couch, and decided he could live with that. -pg 91

..."I'm trying to figure out how this"-- he held up a blood-stained, but uninjured hand-- "is a reflection of me. Why would He give me--" "He?" asked Victor incredulously. He wasn't in the mood for God. Not this morning. "According to your thesis," he said, "an influx of adrenaline and a desire to survive gave you that talent. Not God. This isn't divinity, Eli. It's science and chance." "Maybe to a point, but when I climbed into that water, I put myself in His hands--" "No," snapped Victor. "You put yourself in mine." -pg 93

Victor Vale was not a fucking sidekick. -pg 96

"Would You take it back?" he asked the dark apartment. "If I were no longer of Your making, You would take this power back, wouldn't You?" Tears glistened in his eyes. "Wouldn't You?"..."You'd let me die."..."Wouldn't you?" -pg 216

"No, Sydney," he said. "I need you to stay here." "Why?" she asked. "Because you don't think I'm a bad person," he said. "And I don't want to prove you wrong." -pg 226

"There are no good men in this game," said Mitch. -pg 276

But these words people threw around-- humans, monsters, heroes, villains-- to Victor it was all just a matter of semantics. Someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. Someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them. Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human. -pg 288-289

"I don't want to be forgotten." ..."Tell you what," said Victor. "You remember me, and I'll remember you, and that way we won't be forgotten." "That's shit logic, Vic." ..."To never dying." ..."To being remembered." ..."Forever." -pg 296

"I watch you and it's like watching two people." -pg 352

The entirety of pg 353 including "It's why I let you stay," said Victor. "Why I liked you. All that charm outside, all that evil inside. There was a monster under there, long before you died."// "You aren't some avenging angel, Eli," he said. "You're not blessed, or divine, or burdened. You're a science experiment." (AHHHH)// "You don't understand," gasped Eli. "No one understands." "When no one understands, that's usually a good sign that you're wrong. "You can't kill me, Victor," said Eli. "You know that." ..."I know"..."But you'll have to indulge me. I've waited so long to try."

Victor smiled. He was having a fabulous time killing Eli. -pg 355

And last but not least, an honorary Vengeful quote because it's one of my faves and one of the best. Victor stared at the wall as if it were still a window. "He doesn't know how patient you are," he said. "Doesn't know you like I do." Eli cleaned the blood from his hand. "No," he said softly. "No one ever has." -Vengeful, pg 318 (AHHHHHHHH) hopefully that gets you started! I have so many things highlighted or tabbed or underlined so sometimes it's hard to choose. also the ellipsis (...) indicate where i omitted things for the sake of just including the important parts. otherwise some of those quotes would have been longggg

Hi hii i saw your requests are open so i wanted to request smth, can u make emil, edgar, william, and eli with an s/o in the future and for some reason like wearing cute shi. It can be gn reader or female c: (btw ur ada and emil fanfic is grete keep it up!)

Emil , Edgar William and Eli with a s/o from the future that wears cute clothes

Note: not really happy how it turned with eli cause i had no ideas smh,, Scenarios! Fluff

I am so tired editing this cause this is the 7th time cause Tumblr none stop said that I can’t post it💀

Also if you’re uncomfortable with skirts and dresses replace them with jeans or other clothing you like!

also for the William part: the year is 1959 in the manor so ye

Emil

When he saw you for the first time he was really interested on what were you wearing.

You were the only one in the manor that was really fashionable.

Always wearing a cute dress , or some cool jeans with doodles , or a cute t shirt!

There are lots of cool clothing styles.

He did like some of those retro t shirts you were wearing. I guess his favourite style of clothing is retro.

He really liked some of the accessories like the rings or necklaces!

He had this rusty ring on his hand that him and Ada had. But soon he got rid of it and now you and him are matching with some cute rings!

And every time he decodes alone , and remembers that the cute ring is on his finger he is only thinking of you.

Please show more of those cute clothes, he’s so interested!

You gave him some of your accessories and he was super happy.

You even had a bigger size of clothes , you didn’t know why you still had them but kept them.

And you gave those clothes for him and he loved them!!

Didn’t even know that this type of fashion existed , but when he found out that you’re from a other world aka the future he was flabbergasted.

How, what and where..

,,As i can see Emil in this manor all of you live some sort of like the 1900? That’s… weird’’ you looked at your phone. ,,There’s no signal either.’’ You said to yourself.

Emil was looking at your mobile phone weirdly. What was that glowing thing??

,,Um Y/N what is that??’’ He pointed at your phone.

,,Oh that’s a phone , you can send messages to people all over the world, chat with your friends, play games, and talk on it!’’ You handed it to him carefully.

He was trying to process the little screen in front of him.

,,How do I… use it?’’

Your hands were touching his and you were guiding him how to use it.

That thing called phone is so interesting!

Likes those puzzle games 😭

He doesn’t remember his birthday and you knew about it. So sometimes you gave him little gifts! Not only clothes and accessories but flowers, food, cute matching toys! Yes we know that Emil is a grown man but he doesn’t really care cause he just appreciates everything you give to him.

Bro you make him tear up from those gifts and he comes to you sobbing and telling you how much he loves you and he will protect you with his dear life.

Edgar

Don’t expect him to like you or even notice you.

At first he doesn’t give two shits about you 😭

But the moment you were wearing some kind of cute outfit his eyes landed on it.

His eyes were scanning your body from your neck to toes.

What kind of fashion is that???

,,Oi pervert! What are you looking at?’’ You smiled at him playfully.

He quickly looked away and pretended that he painted. Red face as tomato.

,,Uhm nothing??! What are YOU looking at???’’

The panic he had 💀

The moment he glanced at you , you knew you had the chance to show him how to dress cool and cute like you.

He did notice how you were dressing differently from the others. You didn’t had those ripped and too worn clothes that everyone had.

And you had glowing things he haven’t seen before??

What is that rectangle or squareish thing that glows when you touch it???

What do you do with it?

Also what’s with that blue and red rectangle glowing thing too??

WHAT IS HAPPENING

Edgar was brave enough to ask you what do you do with those things.

,,Oh this? That’s called a phone and this is called a Nintendo switch , you play videogames on it.’’

,,What’s a videogame…??’’

,,Oh right I forgot how boring this manor is-‘’

He glared at you.

You laughed. ,,I’m kidding , don’t look at me like that! Okay a videogame is basically in this switch , there are lots of things moving in this device, and you can control the characters! See? It’s nice isn’t it?’’

Control??

,, May I try..?’’

,,Of course! Here press this button, and then do this and…’’

And you tried explaining him how the switch works.

Was interested and uninterested.

,,Where’s the art?! I can’t play this so called videogame if there is no talking about art!’’ He scoffed and looked away.

You actually had Colour Live with a pen.

Edgar tried and hated it.

,,This is ridiculous! Ahem if I can ask you can you tell me what kind off erm fashion style you’re wearing?’’

,,Oh well I wear lots of them. Not ALL of course! I can see on my phone that it’s in the early 1900s right now… I can show you some comfortable clothes I have , they are a bigger size!’’

Didn’t like them.

,,Erm this is just not my thing.. I look weird..’’

,,Edgar you are wearing a simple t shirt with some short pants. Just like me.’’

,,I hate it. I look weird.’’

,,What are you even wearing when you are going to sleep…’’

,,Not this.’’

At that time the both of you started dating, and he admitted that it was comfortable. (Like 3 months later)

,,See i told you would get comfortable.’’ You grinned at him and he rolled his eyes.

,,Whatever’’

Oh and by the way he likes playing Minecraft. It’s because he thought that there was something ‘artsy’ in it you couldn’t even tell💀

At least he is enjoying it.

William

O.M.G

THE NECKLACE? THE SKIRT? THE DRESS? THE JEANSSS???

William do be acting like a 15 year old girl who just saw 90% off selling clothes.

None stop asking you.

‘HOW DOES THE WORLD LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE?’ ‘DO THEY HAVE FLYING CARS, the idea is mine by the way!’ ‘HOW DOES THE SPORTS LOOK LIKE NOW??’

Dude chill 😭

Will listen to you carefully explaining everything about how things work.

,,Well uhh.. the world now is… uh.. I mean it’s in between hot and ice but it’s more Icey??’’ Could’ve explained better..

,,So you mean it’s no good?’’

,,Ehh kind of? Well uh they still don’t have flying cars and I think sports are the same I haven’t took a notice from the old days. But you can watch sports live right now. Any you like.’’

His eyes had stars.

,,WHAAA NO WAY!! REALLY?? PLEASE SHOW ME!! CAN IT BE RUGBY?’’

,,Alright rugby it is..’’

William none stop used your phone for sports media.

You didn’t really had problem with it. (Hoping he doesn’t see your search history..)

About clothes!

Loves the comfortable ones that Edgar tried.

When he is back from a match , he takes a shower and when putting the comfortable clothes you gave him he plops on the bed and melts.

Loves hugging you with them and falls asleep fast.

Loves those badass rings 💪😈

Would melt if you had matching rings tho.

Flexes that he has a cool and beautiful s/o from the future , so be prepared to be praised a lot by him.

Eli

The most friendly one when you came to the manor.

Literal sweetheart to you.

Praising you too , like how good these clothes fit you.

Man was making you blush.

But then learning that you are from the future?

How????

Tell him more please..

He is thirsty for that kind of information.

When you told him that you have a bigger size of clothing he got so excited!

You gave him some baggy clothes to try on cause he wears this baggy uhh clothing in the matches a lot. (Idk how it is called💀)

Actually likes the sweaters too.

Both of you match with sweaters… in a goofy way.💀

So his favourite style of dressing are baggy clothes, likes wearing rings maybe painting his nails too! Teach him he’s interested in this too!

Both of you have matching bird toys.

Has an owl pillow from you and LOVES IT, IT’S SO FLUFFY!!!

,,Uhh Y/N honey? How do I take a picture again? I wanna take a photo of Brooke.’’

Still new to those things..

Sorry ran out of ideas here💀

One day or Day one, am I right?

Okay, so god knows the amount of ideas I have for a few of the fandoms I hold close to my heart. The main one as of right now being Teen Wolf.

So here's a list of ideas I had written down or just in my mind for a long while :P (BTWs, a few of these I honestly don't remember my thought process for them, even tho I included a bit of context for myself in my notes)

Gone, Gone, Gone - Phillip Phillips /// Childhood Friends/Sweethearts AU [Sterek Animatic]

a lil montage thing of them growing up together, or something

Friends on the Other Side (Mash Up) - Thomas Sanders & Friends /// Kind of a mafia vibe w/ Spark Stiles [Pack Animatic]

- Stiles = Dr. Facilier - Isaac = Oogie Boogie Man - Others (couldn't think of which characters would fit with which disney villain)

Backstage Romance /// [Sterek Animatic]

- Some sort of ceremony, maybe? With how sexual the music video or whatever is, the idea is lowkey a mating ceremony...in dance??? Like obviously not sex, it was idea of the ceremony was going to be more them exchanging the mating bites - Derek (the male role/voice) goes first in kind of seducing (dancing around) Stiles, then Stiles (the lady) would have his turn, and then both of them kind of seducing each other, aka dance together and are abt to bite each other - Interrupted by hunters??? Or separated by their respective family / friends - Flashback to b4 b4 the ceremony or when they were kids @ the "some of them want to use you," which in the flashback it'd be both their parents warning them about, well, people wanting to use them because they're a spark and a werewolf >>> then back to the ceremony - But it is a whole ass dance like in the BGT video performance

Lover boy X Killer Queen /// I had three separate, but ultimately similar ideas for this one [Sterek Animatic (more tiktok formish)]

1. >>> Stiles talking abt Derek (Loverboy) / Derek talking abt Stiles (Killer Queen) <<< These are interchangable, like the songs could be either one of them 2. Derek describing himself to Eli / Stiles describing Derek to Eli 3. How Sterek acts like "now," (ignoring the movie) they're married and openly show that they love each other / How they used to act before, so like maybe Season 1-2 ish (?)

Inspo from reading title "Wolves who cried boy" - 3 ideas that kind of combined and became a 5 + 1 idea [Sterek Fic]

1. Stiles isn't known by the pack yet. So when the 5 pups (I think I included Jackson???) spot him in different areas around Beacon Hills, they all go to Derek or call him to come over. But Stiles is always gone by then, including his scent. 2. A *Stiles and Derek are around the same age,* where Derek keeps finding Stiles in the forest/preserve and his family never believes him or something 3. The '5' being idea #1 and idea #2 as like a flashback for the 5th one, and the '+1' being when Stiles finally showing up to the pack house by himself or w/ Derek

Mandalorian!Derek and Jedi!Stiles /// Star Wars AU [Sterek]

Only notes I have for this idea is, use "We're (a little bit) in love" as reference(-ish). Which I'm assuming is a fic I read, but I read so many damn fics I don't know which one this is. And my second note, Pack = Clan

"So what if he did? it's none of your dang business kid. My mom, there's no-one else quite like my mom" /// Art edit/animatic idea [Stilinski, Hale or Sterek Family (centric-ish)]

1. Eli -> Stiles -> Claudia 2. Eli -> Stiles -> John/Noah 3. Eli -> Derek -> Talia Thought process: - Claudia had a past w/causing trouble or slightly disrespecting the officers if she was questioned - The Sheriff and Stiles are both badasses in finding evidence/proving ppl wrong - The Hales would obviously be pissed at being chained/tied down and most likely bamfs when getting out of it :D

#sterek #eternal sterek #stiles x derek #stiles stilinski #derek hale #fanfiction #fanfic #fan animatic #fanart #ideas #fic ideas #teen wolf

Voiceplay Visuals: Friends On The Other Side

This was one I was ridiculously eager to get to, because it is an absolute visual treat!!! Layne and the rest of PattyCake Productions really went all out with this video, and I think that it might actually be the most movie-accurate video for a Disney cover that Voiceplay has ever done (and although some things are changed, it's all so amazingly cool that you don't care in the slightest!). Also J None came back for this one to take the lead as Dr Facilier! Heck yeah! Let's get into this! (Oh and nearly forgot to mention: this was uploaded in mid-October of 2021 and was Voiceplay's Halloween upload for the year).

We got Cesar as Prince Naveen (perfect casting btw) (also he looks a bit different without more of a beard, but I don't hate it), and Eli as Lawrence, Naveen's servant (also another Eli Eyebrow Raise! And a strong one, too!)

PattyCake Productions has their own YouTube channel where they create videos based around Disney movies and Disney characters (often writing original songs for them) and it shows. They really went off with the costuming and set design (better than Disney would do with a live-action version of their own, almost definitely)

(Also peep Geoff lurking in the background, which I don't think any reactor has noticed when watching the video)

A more full-body look at J's costume (and cool staff!), plus Geoff and Layne as voodoo spirits! (Also note how Geoff is, once more, the one with the most-exposed arms/shoulders (love that for him 👌)

Geoff was asked on a Patreon Q&A or something like that if the thumb-down-the-side-of-the-head movement had any meaning to it, but no, he just thought it up himself as a little interesting/spooky/cryptic gesture (I mean... it worked??)

(Also there's so much detail to his outfit and I love it! The subtle patterning on the vest! The things that may or may not be fingerless gloves! The metal boney-finger things hanging off the shoulders! All the things around his neck! (And yes, he's still wearing the necklace he wears all the time)

And shoutout to Layne, who as you can see in the photo above this one, is wearing basically just as much stuff around his neck as Geoff, and he's got a (fake of course) bone through his nose as well? (I know the official audio is all overdubbed anyway, but I wonder how hard it is to beatbox with something like that on/in your nose?)

Now this is goddamned clever. How do you split the vocal lines of a single character up between multiple vocalists while still making it make sense in-universe? Well in this case, you have Dr Facilier work some voodoo magic so that he and/or the spirits are singing through Lawrence and Naveen, kinda sorta possessing them! The video is enhancing the song itself!!!

I actually went and watched the original Friends On The Other Side scene on YouTube (which I haven't done in ages), so I could better make comparisons, including screencap comparisons!

"I got voodoo-"

"-I got hoodoo-"

(also rip Hei Hei)

"-I got things I ain't even tried!"

Man they really did nail this, huh?

Also I just realised that after "Naveen's" little "I got friends on the other side" solo, while "Facilier" is echoing it as he sits down, "Lawrence" is attempting to get "Naveen's" attention with his eyes, and making facial expressions/head movements that can basically be summed up as "Hey! We need to leave! Now!"

(Seriously it often pays to focus on different people when rewatching Voiceplay stuff (or in my case when scanning for interesting/screencap-worthy moments, to rewind specific parts to focus on different people))

"The cards! The cards!"

Geoff was absolutely hamming it up during this section. It's kinda hilarious and I love it. Go off, my dude 😂😁

Very smooth editing!

Pfft 😆

(Also Eli's acting was phenomenal in this and I swear he kept one eyebrow raised for at least half the whole video)

I love the expression on Geoff's face here that no reactors have seemingly picked up on, like he's both expectant and eager for "the real fun" to begin

Also check out the details in Layne's outfit! It seems that he's got the same things on his shoulders as Geoff does (except over sleeves instead)

Geoff: "Oh yeah now it's my time to shine!"

Okay so I'm definitely counting those as fingerless gloves. Also shoutout to Eli for the lighting once more!

"Reformation central!"

There's a lot going on in this picture. And also this moment made more sense after I rewatched the original scene (just that Voiceplay are swapping out the amulet for a shrunken head (fair - it's probably a lot harder to find an amulet that bites 😂))

Firstly, nice bit of acting/visual storytelling from Eli and Cesar there, and secondly, hey that's the magic lamp from Aladdin in the background on the left there!

And I haven't talked about it a ton here, but J 100% understood the assignment when it came to playing Dr Facilier. He even did some of the same kinda dancing/moves as in the original scene, like the side-to-side head movement on "I hope you're satisfied" (it was so smooth!)

Man, what a video. Disney could NEVER

Voiceplay always does something mind-blowing for Halloween. It might not always be something you expect, but it's always something that gives us plenty to talk about!

#voiceplay #acapella #friends on the other side #the princess and the frog #geoff castellucci #eli jacobson #layne stein #j none #cesar de la rosa #acaplaya analysis #voiceplay visuals

since the important part of you (my mutuals) asked, here's rose oc wank: nfl edition

this is gonna get a lil unrealistic and of course if you (for some fuckn reason) have a problem with ocs for a real life sports league then GET OUUUTTTTT

n e ways

so i already spoilered some of the things this peculiar group of Sad Wet Men have to offer but i wanna start with the running back or as i (the name generator i ran through 437 times.) called him, duane cameron. he's a rb who got drafted in 2011 in the 2nd round bc i just can't let go of my senior citizens (terms and conditions apply i KNOW 34 isn't old) to the panthers. i don't know if they were actually in need of a rb at that time but fuck it they have one now and he's gorjus.

he's known cam (1st ovr pick yannooooo) since high school (after moving away from canada...but that's a whole thing i don't even wanna get into that) and when they got drafted to the same team cam was more enthralled by it than duane but hey he'll have to live w that now. no eli manning shenanigans you are STAYING THERE

n e ways he played for the panthers for a couple seasons and he was always in the top 10 rb conversations (from 2012 onwards bc the only thing people remember him for in 2011 is getting batista bombed by jj watt). he won opoy in 2014 for the first time and repeated in 2015. yk what also happened in 2015.

bc i am chronically living in the past and i'll never stand for the injustice that was dealt on that particular day in 2016, of course my 6'7 babygirl (don't question the dimensions. just Don't.) was the missing piece to the panthers super bowl and they do win that shit fuck you and your big ass forehead peyton. duane also wins sbmvp bc of his outlandish 377 yard performance (I FUCKING WARNED YOU) but you could expect that

n e ways after an easy repeat in 2016 (julio i wanted you to have this so bad but...the Narrative) and some drama in 2017 (mainly due to cam making the bail for no fucken reason) my boy finally hung up the boots in carolina and signed with the ravens because i am a biased little fangirlie and i want my team to have everything. he won the chip in 2019 w the murder birds and maybe sorta somewhat did it again in 2022 but shhhh

n e ways this was a LOT for just one guy and trust me he's the only one with that much history. movin tf on

so in my last post i did mention a 2nd oc who's a social experiment. well his name is ansis knight (that was NOT my idea btw i asked my brother to give me a name for a cornerback and this is what he came up with) and he's a social experiment in the sense that he's literally german. like his dad is american and everything but the dude grew up in Heidelberg, schönste Stadt im Land.

as i said he's a cb & plays for the eagles as of right now and he's very. idk. he's a dumbass and he does things he shouldn't do a lot of the time but Never On The Field. on the field he's the most annoying little bastard (especially for qbs bc for SOME FUCKING REASON he's everything everywhere all at once and they can't escape him) and wrs have a burning hatred for him (so do i). but off the field he's just this very Peculiar Personality and nobody knows what his deal is except amon-ra bc out of all the wrs he bothers every week amon-ra gets the most of it. you can imagine how he reacted when he saw his week 1 matchup last season

not a lot of history on him bc he's still fairly new but i'll just say he's my weirdest saddest wettest football guy and i love him very a lot

AND NOW. FOR THAT MOTHERFUCKER THAT WAS PART OF THE FUCKING NBA OC POST (which is so outdated by now you don't even know)

cole grAnt.

i'll take away first that he's shrunk a bit (6'10 is ENOUGH, jfc) and he's an edge rusher now which means he's the biggest menace to society the world has ever seen. he was drafted by the colts in the 6th round after a solid college season (UNDERDOG STORY RAAAAHHHHH) but they traded his ass to baltimore (eheh. hey) after an...interesting 2021 season. let me explain por favor

basically, he was tackled pretty fucking hard at one point (however hard you can hit a 6'10 dude who's built like a fucking wardrobe) and hit the ground awkwardly. @ the beginning he thought it was just a concussion and bc it was right ahead of bye week, he came back the next game. in THAT game tho he collapsed on the field and when they did a scan on his ass they found that a blood vessel exploded in his brain which caused intracranial hematoma (inner bleeding in the brain for all you non googlers). my man basically died for a second and he didn't play another game afterwards, but in 2022 he came back w a vengeance and he made joe burrow's life HELL in week 5 (and the wildcard game)

i don't know why i went THAT hard on cole's injury i just thought that i was coddling these men too hard and needed one of them to SUFFER. i mean duane already did for the duration of the 2018 season but i needed PHYSICAL SUFFERING i needed there to be BLOOD.

anyways that would be all i hope you understand at least some of it goodnight goodbye

@heyitswolfman pls accept my humble offering + apology i had some bs to deal w today so this comes late <3<3 sawry

#if this doesn't get any notes i'm deleting it next morning #you have till 7 am #now you're all familiar with my disaster children. thank u for ur attention #nfl #oc philosophies

I made this post before about the trans episode of The Good Doctor but that was on season 1, I'm on season 4 now and there's another one! Like last time, I loved the ep, and I will give you context:

The episode 4x09, "Irresponsible Salad Bar Practices" (title unrelated to the patient btw) includes the case of Rio, a trans man with a brain tumor. He is an adult (unlike the trans character of the last ep), has been on T for a while and has had top surgery (the actor, a trans man himself has lovely top surgery scars, but i digress). He's also in a relationship with a cis gay man, that's important to know.

The episode starts with him doing a check up, where Dr. Reznik asks him for his gender and pronouns to update the hospital records cause "Software clearly needs a trans update." Ok, the important bit is that Rio need surgery to remove the tumor. The tumor has grown rapidly, they think because of high levels of hormones... Rio is pregnant.

This all is handled nicely and respectufl, not once he is missgendered, not once they assume any of the patients decisions because of his gender or his pregnancy. Except fo Shaun (surprise!). As always, because he's a stereotype of an autistic man, he asks very inappropriate and offensive questions that are none of his business and are not medically relevant. Just because he wants to understand.

This annoys me, but I can't really complain cause it's also what I like the most in these types of episodes. Shaun genuinely wants to learn and be better.

Anyways, he asks Rio's boyfriend, Eli, if he "considers himself gay" even though he "has vaginal intercourse". Eli answers with some restraint (I would have punched him, who the fuck cares, Eli isn't even your patient. But anyways...).

Later on in the episode, Shaun says the following line when talking to Eli (which saves the entire thing imo). "I read that cisgender people often reduce transgender people to their genitalie, and that that is offensive. Did I do that to you and Rio? I'm sorry."

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to add the rest of my favorite line! Shaun says he's confused about Rio because he has gone through hormone replacement therapy, he has had top surgery but now "he's choosing the most female act" and Eli, very calmly responds "it's not female if Rio is doing it" which is exactly what I said to my mom one time when there was an interview on tv about a pregnant trans man. I love that line. Pregnancy is only a female act, when females do it. Anyways, Shaun looks taken a back for a second and just answers "yes" and then continues to talk about how Rio must have dealt with prejudice, and he relates to that.

This proves once again that Shaun wnats to learn, cares about learning, and he can do it on his own. He didn't harrass his trans patient with questions (at least after realizing he didn't like that). He went and did research on his own, realized his mistake and apologized. That's so important to me! Because none of his offensive remarks, on this episode or back to the one in season 1, none of those comments where from a place of hate. And I do want to bring up this point again, that his ignorance about trans issues has nothing to do with his autism. His bluntness and need of logical understanding have (because, again, he's a stereotypical cookie cutter autistic writen by allistic people). His ignorance has a lot to do with the fact that this man was homeless for a while, didn't have a supportive enviroment, i don't really know what his school life was like, but he lived in a small town, his "mentor" was his younger brother, who died when they were kids. It's not like he had many oportunities to open his mind to the wonders of the trans community you know?

Once again, not defending transphobia or justifying anything. Just sharing my humble opinion about the lowest rating episode of the whole show so far, according to IMDb (although that has everything to do with the reviews being like "this woke series, why do you talk about trans issues and racism? this is supposed ot be ESCAPISM not a documentary" as if that was a valid review lol).

The episode also included a case to do with racism, which I also really enjoyed and think it was handled nicely. But alas, I don't think my opinion is too important as a white dude who doesn't know much about racism and the shit that black people go through, specially when seeking medical attention. I can give my opinion on trans issues all I want, but that's as far as my experience goes.

Btw, Rio had his surgery, is perfectly fine and soon to be a dad with his lovely soon to be husband Eli :')

#that went on too long sorry #also sorry for any typos and mistakes i'm not rereading all that lol #angel watches the good doctor #the good doctor #angel talks #personal #long post #ish

hi bestie! could we get number 16: "sending them photo updates of what you’re doing" from the nonverbal ways to say ‘i love you’ list with brandon tanev pls? obsessed with your edits and writings btw💖🥰🤩

MAMA NO GO

16. "sending them photo updates of what you're doing" (from this prompt list)

also, this blurb is connected to this edit i made a while ago :)

elijah tanev was a mama's boy through and through, so you knew, in the back of your head, when it was finally time to leave on the girl's trip you planned with some friends, it would be hard to say goodbye.

"all right, mama has to go now, eli." brandon tried to pry eli off of you. you regretted having your goodbyes at the airport instead of doing it at home and taking an uber to the airport.

"no. mama stay." he shook his head, holding you tighter.

"i have to go, bud. i'm sorry." you rubbed his back and kissed his head.

"no." he whined, hugging you even tighter.

"eli." you sighed, looking over at brandon who was bent down behind eli, trying to pry him off.

brandon pried eli off. you winced as he started to cry, wiggling around in brandon's arms, "bye, baby. i'll be back in a few days." you slung your bag over your shoulder and waving.

"no, no." he cried, breaking your heart all over again.

"don't cry, buddy. mommy'll be back in a few days." brandon tried to comfort him but it really didn't do anything. you walked through the sliding doors, then waved once more, a frown on your face.

as you waited at the gate with your friends, you snuck in a selfie, one you then texted to brandon.

"look, bud. there's mommy." brandon showed eli the phone.

eli had stopped crying on the way home, but he was still sad that you left, "momma." he pointed.

"yeah, and look, there's auntie kenny and auntie ro and auntie molly." he smiled, "do you want to send one back to mommy?" eli nodded his head, "all right, hold up your ice cream." eli held up his ice cream high, and brandon snapped a photo, sending it to you.

once you touched down in hawaii, you finally saw the photo brandon sent, so you sent one back once you touched down, a selfie of you making a funny face, one you knew eli would love.

brandon sent one back of eli playing in the playpen while he made dinner. he was entertaining himself with some toy cars and your little boxer theo was laying at his side.

you were three hours behind, so you sent a photo back a group photo of you and the girls at lunch.

brandon sent a photo of eli playing with some of his friends at the park.

you sent one back of you chilling at the pool. he sent one back of eli eating dinner, a big smile on his face.

so, you decided to send a video back for eli to watch before bed, "hi, my baby. mommy loves you, and she misses you, but i'll see you real soon. sleep tight tonight, and don't forget to give daddy a kiss for me."

eli watched the video, gave brandon a big kiss on the cheek, then watched the video again.

five days later, eli and brandon were standing in the same spot in front of the airport. eli was wiggling in brandon's arms as they tried to spot you.

"i know you're excited, buddy. but you can't run off." brandon laughed.

you walked out of the airport and looked around, trying to find brandon and eli. when eli spotted you, he wiggled and pointed, "mommy!"

you turned your head at the sound of your son and made your way over to them. brandon set eli on the ground, and he was running towards you.

"oh, hi, buddy." you laughed, picking him up and hugging him tightly, "did you have so much fun with daddy?"

eli nodded but kept his head burrowed in your neck. you laughed, leaning up to brandon, "hi."

"hi." he smiled, hugging you and letting out a relieved sigh.

"i missed you, too." you chuckled.

"i'm so glad you're home."

"i'm glad to be home. i missed you so much." you kissed eli's head.

"what about me?" brandon asked.

"i missed you, too. don't worry." you glanced behind brandon's shoulder at the sound of theo's bark, "and you, too, theo. i didn't forget you." you laughed, scratching behind his ears.

taylor's night of neglect!

Okay so I just reblogged a thing talking about season 2 and 3 of Cobra Kai and I have some Thoughts about what they did to everyone’s character arcs in this so if you’d like a rant it’s under the cut with spoilers from all 3 seasons plus spoilers for all 3 Karate Kid movies

Okay so my issues start with one very key scene that I personally think fucked up the whole rest of the narrative, and by extension everyone else’s character arcs: which is from Different but Same. And no not that scene- not yet at least.

The first scene that I think fucked over the narrative and killed several character arcs was the beach scene. Miguel, reasonably distraught over the idea that Sam is hiding him from her dad(which she is actually doing to be fair), gets completely drunk and when Sam and Robby arrive together he loses it, pushes Sam and subsequently gets dumped. Now why do I think this ruined everything? It completely goes against Miguel’s character up to this point. Miguel is absolutely trying to mimic Johnny in a lot of key ways but also up to this point Miguel has also been Johnny’s conscience; he’s smart and kind and had not at all shown to be anything even close to what Johnny was in KK1. He’s stood up for his friends, defended the girl he likes from bullies, he’s a huge mama’s boy and a bit of a hopeless romantic. In no episode up until that point does he ever display any tendency towards unnecessary violence, despite Johnny’s “strike first” motto. Miguel getting wasted and violent does not add up in my mind. Miguel is supposed to be a narrative parallel to Daniel for fuck sake. Also, and this is my main complaint, there is no fucking reason for Miguel to immediately jump to the conclusion that Sam is seeing Robby- literally none. They look very much alike, hell Robby looks a little like Amanda honestly, he could very well be her cousin for all Miguel knows. Robby and Sam don’t even act like a couple in the shot- they’re literally just sitting next to each other at family dinner. None of this subplot makes any fucking sense.

And then, obviously, there’s the very next scene- Johnny goes with Daniel back to his place, tipsy and happy and seemingly in a very good place with each other. Then Robby shows up, Johnny loses his shit and Daniel proceeds to get pissed and kick Robby out. Now there is one thing I point out about this scene whenever I talk about it that doesn’t add up: no where in this scene is it ever even implied that either Johnny or Daniel know about Robby’s original intentions. (Also nothing up till that point ever even establishes why Robby knows about Daniel and Johnny’s rivalry in the first fucking place for the record). There is no reason for Johnny to suspect that Daniel knew and was hiding it, or even that Robby was doing it on purpose, and there is no reason for Daniel to get mad or even suspect that Robby knew what he was doing or was lying about it; and the fact of the matter is that Robby never actually lied(also Daniel never fucking asked) about his home situation. His mom was neglectful and an addict, and his father wasn’t in the picture. That’s it, and none of that was a lie. Now I’m not sitting here and denying that what Robby did was wrong because it absolutely was-- it was manipulative and unfair to Daniel and he had a right to be angry when he found out it was the case but there is nothing to suggest that he didn’t just jump to conclusions. And also, personally, I don’t think any of that justifies kicking a teenager to the curb, and one that Daniel explicitly knows has no one and nothing to fall back on. Be angry, be furious with Robby, but leaving a teenager to fend for themselves is cruel and completely unjustifiable behavior from a grown ass adult(also there’s a whole can of worms involved in Daniel never trying to figure out where the fuck Robby’s parents are and letting him live there without an explanation but that’s for a different rant).

Now assume none of that weird subplot happens, there is another way to have the Robby and Miguel rivalry that would have made so much more fucking sense and it only hinges on one fucking thing- Robby enters the tournament. It could be with or without Daniel’s approval(maybe even with a KK3 parallel, but Daniel honestly seems pretty into the tournament these days so he’d probably be down for Robby joining and reping Miyagi-do), but all we need is for him to do it. Robby gets there, and Johnny sees him, potentially rocking a Miyagi-do gi and can have his surprised/hurt moment with him and Daniel, even potentially a confrontation between them. We can also still have Miguel beating Robby in the tournament and having Johnny be conflicted about his son losing. Hawk can even still hurt him and give Johnny his “holy shit this is wrong” epiphany and Miguel not understanding why Johnny wants him to go easy on Robby. Robby can still be hurt and upset by thinking Johnny cares more about Miguel after he loses.

Okay now as for season 2? Assuming everything stays the same in season 1, I have one MAJOR complaint. Robby becoming Sam’s love interest; and no it’s not because I think Miguel and Sam should be an endgame couple when the show is over(I do but that’s beside the point) but because it turns Sam into a plot device. This carries over into season 3 where she starts dating Miguel again and apparently just never breaks it off with Robby which is such a dick move I can not for the life of me imagine Sam of all fucking people doing it. She isn’t perfect by any means but she’s also outspoken and and much more confident by that point and should not have had a problem breaking up with someone in an email. But I digress, back to season 2- the moment I saw that Sam and Robby were going to be a couple I immediately knew the writers fucked up. There was no build up for it, nothing in season 1 to foreshadow this as a possibility(Different but Same doesn’t count because that was a whiplash of an episode) and they just decided offhandedly to put her in the middle of Robby’s and Miguel’s rivalry. There was no reason to make them a couple other than to fuck with Miguel and set up the Tory & Sam rivalry which could have happened fucking anyway with the shit at the country club, the rift between Sam and Aisha, and Miguel’s ongoing feelings for Sam even after he’s dating Tory(also a dick move what the fuck Miguel??). Adding Robby as fuel to the fire was super unnecessary and all it did was set up the clusterfuck that was the season 2 finale.

And OH BOY was that finale a clusterfuck. First of all, as a prelude- Fuck. Daniel. He pulled the exact same shit as in season 1 with dumping Robby the second he does anything even a little bit wrong. But also, as a gut punch, Robby didn’t actually do anything wrong. What was he supposed to do at the party? He couldn’t stop Sam from drinking even though he wanted to, it was her (very poor) choice. But he did what he could, he kept an eye on her, and when the cops showed up, he didn’t just leave her, he put her in the car and drove her somewhere he thought she’d be safe without having to immediately face her father(who super fucking overreacted btw) while she was recovering. This scene, which could have been an excellent bonding moment for Johnny and Robby, and an introduction to Sam getting to know Johnny outside of her father’s influence, was turned into a brawl for no fucking reason.

Which leads me to the school fight. And right off the bat I’ve got to say this; even as, and maybe especially as, a person who has written post season 3 fix it fics, there is no way for Robby and Miguel to convincingly fix what happened in the season 2 finale. Yes, what Robby did was absolutely an accident and he has already done his time for it. But the elephant in the room is this: Miguel could have died. Or at the very least, been totally paralyzed. There is not a good way to come back from that. They will always have that hanging over their heads, even if they somehow reach an understanding. And I know someone is going to try and make the argument about that being a parallel to Johnny and Daniel in KK1, but if it is that it’s a terrible parallel. What Johnny did was supremely fucked up and I won’t deny that, especially with the Halloween scene and Daniel’s knee in the tournament(which actually was technically more Bobby’s doing, but I digress), but it was never “almost permanently disable/kill someone” bad. (Again there’s a whole can of worms to open about the shit with Chozen and Daniel’s seemingly pretty easy forgiveness of a man who tried to kill him because what the fuck?? But again that’s another rant.) But the writers wanted to push the envelope so now Johnny will always have the tug of war of choosing Robby, who he loves but who also really fucked up, and Miguel, who was the original reason for the rivalry in the first place but who was also the one who, again, almost died because of his son, even if he somehow fixes his relationship with both. It will always be “why did you pick him over me?” and Johnny will never have a good enough answer for either of them. And finally the big complaint- Johnny completely regressing in season 3. Season 3 honestly felt like a rehashing of season 1 because we literally had to see him progress in his arc all over again from square fucking one. He still isn’t there for Robby, he’s still fucking up things with Miguel and his family, he’s still fucking up his relationship with Daniel, he still chooses to miss his appointment with Robby to see Miguel(who would have been there after the appointment and he could have seen him then), he abandons half of his fucking students to fend for themselves and leaves the other half with a man he knows is a dangerous psychopath. And yes we get the cool scene at the end of December 19, but is it worth it?? I’m genuinely asking because, as much as I love that scene, I really don’t believe it is.(edit: Also fuck that whole subplot with Eli and Demetri- you don’t get to just break the arm of the boy who was your best friend and just have that go away with no repercussions. Fuck. That. I hope Demetri gets at minimum an actual on screen apology, and hopefully Eli actually trying to make amends.)

We could have still had the big team up- have Johnny admit to Daniel that he’s fucked up and tell him everything that’s happening with Kreese. Have them join forces to defeat Kreese in the tournament. Have the dumb fucking bet. Introduce Terry Silver in season 4. Have Johnny’s and Daniel’s tenuous truce strained at every turn because they’re idiots. Do all of it. But y’know what? We could have had all of that- all of it- without it being at the expense of at least 2 character arcs; Johnny’s and also Robby’s.

Also before I end this I just have to add- nothing and I mean nothing will ever redeem Kreese or Silver for me. I do not give a singular shit about either of their tragic backstories, I just don’t. I get why and how Chozen got his redemption- he was a teenager when that shit happened, and while the shit he pulled is personally unforgivable in my opinion, he has actively been trying to redeem himself by spending the last however many decades making it up to his community. I’d even understand a Barnes redemption to an extent, even though I wouldn’t accept it, because he was also very young and being manipulated by, again, a dangerous psychopath. But Kreese and Silver? Abso-fucking-lutely not. They were two grown ass adults who purposefully targeted an 18 year old and put him through emotional and physical for weeks, paid someone to intimidate him through both threats of physical violence but also through vandalism, and gaslighted him and isolated him from the only family he had at the time because he beat them in a children’s karate competition. Look, I’m not sorry, I don’t give a fuck about Kreese’s tragic backstory, nothing about what Kreese has done can be rationalized by just saying “oh his mom and girlfriend died and he was in ‘Nam”. And any good thing he does for Tory, or even Robby, does not balance out all the harm he has caused. Silver is even less redeemable- I don’t care that he almost died in war, I’m an army brat I know plenty of people who almost died and don’t act like this. In canon we have evidence of him being completely, unrepentantly evil- the first scene with him in it has him basically confirmed as the BP of nuclear waste, he pays people so he can beat them up, he’s been personally funding Kreese’s child indoctrination classes. They could pull out the saddest backstory for him possible and I would not give a shit. And that’s fine. We don’t need every bad guy to have a tragic backstory- sometimes an evil villain can just be an evil villain for no reason, not all of them need a traumatic turning point that the authors shove in to make the audience sympathize with them. So please, writers, stop trying to make me feel sorry for them because I really don’t and I don’t understand anyone who does.

Okay rant over.

Sick

Summary: William didn't understand why Henry was rushing out the door with Michael tucked under his arm. He did understand one thing though: he never felt more sick in his life.

Tw: lots of cursing from Henry in the start, self-hatred, self-harm, mentions of the desire to puke, thoughts of suicide, kinda panic attack but not detailed, knife, child death mention, child murder mention, very bad time for Willy man (tell me if i miss any please)

Notes: it's been a while since I've written a vent fic but here we be with Willy as my target. There is no read more as I'm on mobile sorry ! This is from Will's pov also and he thinks he's in the right so be wary

This is taking place after Will has killed Elizabeth and Charlie and Henry figured out what he was doing. He is not excused for his actions; what he did was fucked up. I merely wanted to write a quick vent thing and thought why not share more info about my au while I'm at it (it's not edited a lot so it might be messy btw). Also for those who don't know Will and Henry are husbands

Also: Charlie and Elizabeth are the only victims so far and since they're only mentioned, i didn't tag them (same with michael given he's there like twice with no development)

---

Slam.

"Henry. Henry ! Where are you going !?"

"Where the fuck do you think ? Away from you !"

"I-I don't understand-"

Henry had just slammed shut another car door, finishing in securing the few valuables and Michael he swiped from the house in his silent rampage before whipping his head towards Will. Will flinched back having never seen such rage in his husband's eyes before. He even subconsciously began to press himself into the still open front door's frame as Henry stomped his way towards Will's own shaking frame.

"How dare you," Henry spat, a finger close to jabbing Will's chest, "How fucking dare you say that after what you did."

"Please, I don't-"

"I know what you did, William. Don't even try to lie to me, you goddamn snake !" He lingered only a second longer before quickly walking back to the car as if Will's presence alone would infect him with some horrid disease.

Right as he opened the driver side door, he looked Will in the eye and said with a dead tone, "You disgust me, Afton."

The final slam of the door did nothing to help Will's messy mind. He felt he couldn't move at all as he stared at the car setting itself into motion. His eyes burned and chest hurt and seeing his little Michael stare back at him with such tearful eyes made him feel like he was collapsing.

Will wasn't sure how long he stared at the empty driveway wishing he'd wake up any second now. Deep down he knew he couldn't be dreaming as the prickling pain in his hands and face from the freezing air grew worse every passing minute. He finally slowly stumbled back into the quiet home when he couldn't tell if his shaking body was from his crumbling mind or the cold. Numb, twitchy hands struggled to properly close the door before what just occured finally sunk in.

He collapsed.

Then.

He screamed.

It wasn't of anger but of anguish as he felt the tears he tried to keep at bay, rush down and burn his cheeks. Nothing made sense.

What did he do wrong ? Why was Henry so upset ? Why did Henry take Michael like that and leave him all alone ?? Everything he did was for them ??? He didn't understand ??? Wh y ????

Was it because he didn't have an answer ? He just needed more time ! Science required time and experiments ! He didn't want to take Eli and Charlie ! But he had to ! He had to make his family whole again ! He was just doing what no one else would do. He was making things right.

So why did Henry look at him with such disgust ?

He felt sick. His brain seemed to scream at him that he needed to throw up despite his body denying so. He wasn't gagging at all but he clutched at his stomach at the seemingly ever increasing desire to empty its contents. The bad needed to come out. He needed to get. It. Out.

He barely even registered that his body was moving as his thoughts raced and clashed desperate to find an answer to the swirling questions and stomach's desires. His feet dragged themselves to the kitchen, and his jittering hand grasped at the first knife it could manage to pry from the block resting on the counter.

He'd make things rights. Yes yes. He could still make it better ! He didn't have his answers but he'd do this for Henry. To make him happy. Just as Henry always wanted especially in the past months.

The knife stung a bit as it slid across his scarred wrist but it was merely a shallow cut. Not deep enough. The knife was reset once more and he could feel the greater pressure he placed upon it but it didn't move.

He stood like that for several long seconds but he couldn't do it. He was too scared. A great frustration welled inside his body at this apparent weakness. How could he make his family happy and whole again if he couldn't even do something as simple as this ?

He threw the knife down with as much force as he could but it didn't sate the ever increasing need for destruction now bubbling under his skin. Scarred hands tangled themselves in his hair that fell on his shoulders and upper back; it was greasy and unwashed like the rest of him. The feeling only made him feel sicker. Weaker.

Before he knew it, his hands scrambled for the scissors from the knife block. He had to relieve the feeling in his stomach before he actually puked and showed how pitiful he was.

Snip. Snip. Snip

He should be using a mirror, but he didn't care at this point. He needed it off and he need it off now. The blades swept wherever they pleased and were constantly in motion, taking out any of the offending strands in its way.

It honestly didn't take long before he deemed the problem taken care of even if it felt like hours had passed. It wasn't too short if he had to guess, nothing too close to the scalp at least, but his hair hadn't been this short since his college days. The same scarred hands ran through the uneven locks, collecting loose cut strands in their exploration of what he had done.

The destructive feelings from before began to quiet down; trembling body collapsing in the mess of hair and small spatters of blood.

He'd fix this yes. But he'll do it through his work. Henry was just upset at the lack of an answer is all so he'll give him an answer. He'll run so many test. He'll gain so much data. Then he'll come back and they'll be happy again. It has to work. It has to.

Despite his resolve and the feeling of his body slumping to the cold floor from exhaustion...

He still felt sick.

Voiceplay Visuals: We Don't Talk About Bruno

("You're gonna show/talk about That Moment, right?" Yes of course I will be showing/talking about That Moment; who do you take me for? 😝)

This video was uploaded on the 26th of February, 2022, it features Ashley Diane (in her second full-length collaboration with Voiceplay), and it is of course a cover of the ridiculously-popular song We Don't Talk About Bruno, from the very-popular Disney movie Encanto (which I have seen 2 or 3 times, including in cinemas, but I'm also very familiar with the movie soundtrack, because it's amazing). To cover such a popular song (let alone acapella-style) can be a challenging task, because obviously there'll be a lot of people who'll already know the original song quite well and who will be prepared to make comparisons, but this is Voiceplay we're talking about! They're not called "the theatre kids of acapella" for nothing, and Disney covers is one of the things they do best (and the video currently sits at a very impressive 5.6 million views on Youtube! (EDIT: as of the 13th of March, it's now 5.7 million!))

So of course I have a lot to talk about with this one, so let's get into it!

Layne was in charge of the video, arrangement, and direction for this one, and he and Tony worked together on set design and costuming. Needless to say, Layne and Tony did an amazing job (and yes, this was of course filmed at Pattycake Productions Studio, which Layne and Tony own and run together)

As for the costuming/characters: Cesar is playing Felix (is it perfect casting, or is Cesar just amazing at slipping into basically any role he's given? You decide), Ashley plays triple roles of Pepa, Isabela, and Mirabel, Eli is maybe Agustin (Agustin doesn't have a lead singing part in the song but the outfit is close enough), Layne is Dolores, and Geoff is either Camilo, Bruno, or both (Camilo pretending to be Bruno perhaps, like in the original scene in the movie?)

If we don't count Jingle Bell Rock (where Eli was wearing glasses while dressed as "Sandy Claws", then I'm fairly certain this is the last/most recent time that Eli has actually worn glasses for a Voiceplay video? And perhaps the only time he's worn them since growing out his facial hair.

Also I'm pretty sure I heard from someone that Geoff's "ruana" (google it) is in fact just a regular blanket/piece of fabric draped (possibly secured/pinned) over his shoulders (it's kind of a Look though ngl)

Not even 30 seconds in and I already stumbled upon a way-funnier-than-expected screencap 🤣

*pfft* XD

Basically, Cesar 100% understood the assignment as Felix, totally hammed it up, and it's highly entertaining 😁

(Also I swear Geoff did a very miniscule eyeroll here? Amazing, love him)

"Hey where'd you get that?" 😂

I know I'm not meant to be talking about vocals in these posts (per my own rules), but I have to give a big shoutout to Layne, who freaking killed it with Dolores's solo part, and it's always so lovely to hear him actually getting a vocal part in a song, as amazing as he is at vocal percussion 💜

Cesar continuing to do The Most (affectionate), and also it's kinda sweet how Geoff is looking at Layne here imo <3 (and also it kinda fits with how the characters they're playing, Camilo (probably) and Dolores are siblings!)

"Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand." "Do you understand?"

(If you're rewatching a Voiceplay video, try shifting your focus to someone other than whoever you typically focus on for a certain part of the song! It will probably be worth it!)

Trust Geoff to get a dark/spooky section of the song! Voiceplay is nothing if not consistent 😝 (well, sometimes, in regards to some things 😂)

"When he calls your name, it all-" "-fades to black"

I was trying to get a good screencap of Cesar and Ashley on the "we! don't! talk about Bruno!" line, but eh, couldn't get a decent one.

(Oh btw obligatory kudos to Eli for lighting design!)

"He told me my fish would die, the next day, DEAD!"

(Great face, Ashley 😂👌)

Also pay attention to Geoff during this line (before it cuts to a closeup of Ashley) - I love his little shoulder shimmy to the more-uptempo beat!)

"He said that all of my hair-"

"-would disappear..."

"Now look at my head!"

(Rip Eli, but there was no way anybody else was singing that line - it was practically made for him! 😆) (Also love Ashley touching his head in comfort/sympathy 😄)

"He told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be miiine"

(Yes yes of course Ashley is very pretty and I love the petals and the slow-mo on her, now CUE!)

"He told me that my power would grow, like the grapes that thrive on the viiiine"

Yep, that still continues to be up there as one of the most bonkers-ridiculous moments in a Voiceplay video ever. 🤣 (Also if it weren't hilarious enough, check out Ashley's Offended(tm) face in the first and second pictures above, and Layne's Extremely Concerned face in the second picture! ("uhh, Geoff. something you wanna tell me, dude?"))

I'm a little fuzzy on specifics, but apparently the idea for this moment came about when Voiceplay was acquiring clothing for everyone, and Ashley's outfit arrived in two different sizes (just in case one might fit better than the other). Turns out one of the copies of the outfit was a perfect fit for Geoff, and one thing led to another, and we ended up with Aspiring Disney Princess Geoff that you see in the images above 😄😋)

(When I said "don't just get you a man who can do both, get yourself a man that can do everything" back in my Frozen 2 Medley post, I meant it!!!)

(Oh and this section really was slowed down in post-production in order to make the petals (and hair flips!) look nice, and so both Ashley and Geoff were having to sing/lip-sync to sped up versions of their vocal lines!)

"Hey sis..."

(I don't know why this is so funny but it just is 😂)

Ashley in glasses for Mirabel's part!

"Seven foot frame, rats along his back!" *(goat scream)*

(Genuinely not even joking about the goat scream actually)

Geoff and Cesar were competing this whole video in terms of who could be the Biggest Ham I swear 😂

I somehow didn't pick up on this till a commenter pointed it out, but Layne copies Geoff's "spooky finger wiggles" movement! It's got Younger Sibling vibes ngl (though Dolores is actually older than Camillo iirc, and I'm an only child anyway so idk)

Ashley and Cesar were both great in this video, really seemed to play off each other quite a bit!

Man, what a video. Amazing to watch, and also a really great to watch other people react to, for multiple reasons! 😁

There's not much for me to say that I haven't already said about Voiceplay before, but I will say that if you liked this one, go watch their Mini for Surface Pressure if you haven't already! It was filmed during the same shoot as this one (same set, same clothes), and uploaded a few days prior. It's only a short video, sure, but it's still very much worth a watch.

hi! i really want to get into the EU stuff, but i have absolutely no idea where to start. can you point towards a few good books, maybe? thank you, and i absolutely love your account btw!

Hi! Thank you for the kind words, I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog. ♥ Recommendations for EU stuff often depends on what you’re interested in, because there are a lot of books I really enjoyed, so I’ll organize them by era, since that’s how fans are often divided. I’ll also include comics, because often times the comics are some of the absolute best stuff!If you haven’t watched The Clone Wars and Rebels yet, those are absolutely the places to start as they’re key to the fabric of the bigger story, imo. Not that you can’t understand the movies without them or anything, but TCW is especially important for understanding just how grueling the clone wars really were. And Rebels is important for showing the fates of a lot of the TCW characters and seeing the Empire vs the Rebellion (it does a lot to flesh that out, too).PREQUELS:

Any of the Star Wars Adventures comics that contain the prequels characters are great. Well, ALL of the Adventures comics are great, but the prequels ones are adorable, funny, and yet really well-told. They’re light-hearted and largely oneshots, but the IDW comics have been incredible for still being some of the absolute best SW content out there. Especially a not-miss is #12-13 and the 2019 Annual for the Padme&Leia&Breha story.

Obi-Wan & Anakin comic by Charles Soule. A five-issue mini series that has the most stunning art of all the comics I’ve ever seen pretty much, it’s also a really good look at the time of Anakin’s apprenticeship and provides some interesting glimpses into their early days together.

Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith comic by Charles Soule. This comic was an absolute phenomenon to read month to month and one of the comic series that I’ve spent the most time analyzing and felt it’s really held up to scrutiny, which shows just how much thought went into it. It’s 25 issues of Vader fresh off Revenge of the Sith, over the span of a couple years, and really does an AMAZING job of exploring Anakin Skywalker as Darth Vader, all the choices he made and the themes of the comic are all about showing he can’t admit to the HUGE mistakes he’s made. It was incredible.

Choose Your Destiny: An Obi-Wan & Anakin Adventure by book Cavan Scott. I’m not usually a fan of Choose Your Own Adventure style stories, but this one was worth it to me to get an absolutely DELIGHTFUL book with Obi-Wan and Anakin, who are cranky with each other, but ultimately show that they can come back together and obviously care about each other. Sprinkle in some other cool stuff (Jedi details, Bant Eerin being recanonized) and it was lovely.

Dooku: Jedi Lost audiodrama by Cavan Scott. If you’re interested in Dooku, Asajj Ventress, or the Jedi at all, this drama was pretty amazing, it gave a ton of worldbuilding detail, but also did a lot to fill in the backstory of Dooku and gave us a long look inside Asajj’s head as well. Qui-Gon makes some appearances, he has an amazing dynamic with Dooku, and my heart as always skips a beat for how much I love the Jedi.

Age of the Republic comics by Jodie Houser. Holy shit, these comics were SO GOOD. They’re a series of oneshots about the various heroes and villains of the time, a glimpse into the lives of all of them, and Houser really nailed it here. My favorite is the Obi-Wan one, because the conversation he has with Anakin about Qui-Gon is a must and delves deepest into the characters’ stuff, but all of them are worth reading.

Jedi of the Republic - Mace Windu comic by Matt Owens. A five-issue mini series that, okay, the art is Like That but the storyline really worked for me because it’s a really good look at Mace’s character and his belief in the Jedi Order and how he came to master himself and how the galaxy looks at Jedi. It’s woven around a fairly typical action plot, but one of the things that always strikes me is the compassion the Jedi show one of their own, even when they’re falling into darkness, as well as this is a comic about Mace Windu’s faith and his work to master himself and it’s SO GOOD.

Kanan: The Last Padawan comics by Greg Weisman. Stunning art plus a look at some of the characters/relationships that I want so much more of (TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT DEPA BILLABA) and more glimpses into life at the Jedi Temple, as well as telling the story of how the character went from Caleb Dume to Kanan Jarrus, all of it heartbreaking and so, so good.

While the Revenge of the Sith novelization by Matthew Stover is no longer canon, but it does an absolutely phenomenal job of breaking your heart all over again for the characters and expanding on everything that was going on during that time and really, really gets into the headspace of Anakin’s character in a way that was line-edited by George Lucas himself, so I think of it as having a lot of emotional truths to it, rather than being part of canon (which it’s specifically said as not being).

ORIGINALS:

The ongoing Star Wars comic (by Jason Aaron, then Kieron Gillen) + the original Darth Vader comic (by Kieron Gillen) are the absolute best place to start, they’re an incredible addition to the characters’ journeys between ANH and ESB. The two comics are meant to be read concurrently, so I recommend them together, they often show the same scenes from different points of view, but you can roll with either of them if they’re going well for you. They’re my favorite for what they add to the story.

Star Wars Battlefront II’s storyline can be watched on YouTube like a movie, which is about two hours long, has some fantastic characters (Iden Versio and Del Meeko are amazing, but also the brief storylines the OT trio have in the game are fantastic) and it does a really great job of helping to bridge the gap between the OT and the ST, explaining a lot about Jakku’s significance and how the First Order popped up.

From a Certain Point of View novel by various. MY FAVORITE BOOK IN THE EU, FULL STOP. A series of point of view stories from various supporting characters during A New Hope is exactly what it sounds like and, okay, not all of them worked out for me, some of them are very skippable if you’re not enjoying it, but the Obi-Wan one, the Qui-Gon one, and the Yoda one are all must-reads because they are HEARTBREAKING and fill in so much of what’s going on with those characters in the OT with regards to the PT events. Also the Motti one is the single funniest thing Star Wars has ever put out.

Lords of the Sith novel by Paul S. Kemp. While I’ve only read about a third of this one so far, I’ve enjoyed it a lot, as it’s a look at some of the worst parts of SW’s timeline, where Vader and Palpatine are at their worst, where Ryloth is suffering, but it’s done with deftness and gravitas, imo. Possibly better after you’ve seen TCW and Rebels because Cham Syndulla’s character will have more weight then.

Legends of Luke Skywalker novel by Ken Liu. This book came out around the time that The Last Jedi came out (or at least that’s when I read it, iirc) and it was a balm for my soul that needed Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. It’s an in-universe series of myths, so it’s not literal, it’s stories told about Luke Skywalker as he travels the galaxy trying to understand the Force and the Jedi. It’s lovely!

Thrawn novel by Timothy Zahn. I still think the first Thrawn book was really good (even if the shine came off the apple after that) and it does a fantastic job of setting up the character’s backstory, intro into the Empire, and creating the character of Eli Vanto, WHOM I LOVE. It’s a great read and some of the best of Zahn’s Thrawn work.

ROGUE ONE + SOLO:

The Rogue One novelization by Alexander Freed. I had trouble connecting to Jyn Erso when I first watched the movie, but the way Freed wrote her as this messy, complicated, thorny person who was trying to do the right thing was perfect for making me fall in love with her. (Freed is really, really good at writing messy, complicated, worthwhile women, imo.)

Most Wanted novel by Rae Carson. I loved this book a lot, where it’s a young adult novel set before the events of Solo and helps tell Han and Qi’ra’s backstory and is a great space adventure at the same time.

Catalyst novel by James Luceno. This does a really great job of bridging the Republic era with the Empire era, how the galaxy went from the Clone Wars to what we see in Rogue One, AND expanded a ton on Galen Erso’s character, his relationship with Orson Krennic and Lyra Erso and Jyn, so it made the R1 experience just a ton more valuable for me.

SEQUELS:

Bloodline novel by Claudia Gray. This book still does the absolute most to bridge the gap between the OT and the ST, to explain the events of what happened in that time period. Gray’s writing is best when she’s writing Leia as a character and this book works as a novel for her and as a story about the rise of the First Order and some of the problems of the New Republic.

Spark of the Resistance is a young adult novel (so about 200 pages) by Justina Ireland. I only recently read this one and I just thoroughly enjoyed it, it was Rey and Rose and Poe off on their own adventure, which was typical cute Star Wars stuff, but the chemistry and adorable banter between these three was so good I could have read an entire series for them! (I also liked her Lando’s Luck YA novel, if you’re interested in his character.)

Poe Dameron comics by Charles Soule. Soule’s writing is some of the best stuff in SW so far and he does an absolutely phenomenal job of capturing the charisma of Poe’s character, while also giving him an actual character arc to work through. The comics just fly by, they’re so good and so smoothly easy to read and so damn charming.

Cobalt Squadron novel by Elizabeth Wein. If you get the audiobook of this, it’s narrated by Kelly Marie Tran, who does a love job of reading it, and was a book that helped me just utterly FALL IN LOVE with Rose Tico. It’s a book that does a lot to explain her back story and who she is and it’s just absolutely wonderful.

The Last Jedi novelization by Jason Fry. If you really, really hated TLJ, this might not be the book for you, but I found it to be a book that helped fill in some smaller details that made the movie work better for me and got inside the characters’ heads just enough to help grease the wheels to put me in a better place with the movie, so I always really like it.

The Protags of Knights of Almadel 1-10 just for basic introductions!

Thanks for asking! Some of these answer are a bit generic, but on mobile I can’t insert link or stuff, so I’ll probably revise them later. (edit: various link have been added)

1 - Favorite colors:

Nico likes purple. This may or may not be related to the fact that purple is the main color of his rugby team.

Rio prefers pale tones like azure and celadon.

Eli doesn’t have a specific preference, but is usually more drawn to vibrant colours (bonus point if they have unusual names).

Wilfrid likes red.

2 - Collections:

Aside from the shared effort aimed at collecting the Cosmic Eggs (which is not really a collection per se), Eli has a decent stash of comics in her room (her siblings also used to buy them, even if each one had a different taste. for these reason, there are comics from all over the world, such as manga, American comics and European productions).

Rio has a small collection of minerals, which he sometimes threatens to use as throwing weapons against Nico if he doesn’t shut up.

Wilfrid used to be an avid reader and used to collect books.

Nico collects Heismans on a weekly basis. whenwillheeverlearn.jpg

3 - allergies:

Nico has a mild form of pollen allergy! (Spoiler: this is actually an important plot point.)

4 - clothing style/preferences:

Nico prefers loose, comfy clothes. He is more often than not in his jersey/tracksuit. He tends to dislike hats (”you know, you’ll go bald if you wear hats too much. Hair needs to breathe too“).

On the contrary, Rio has a more sober and elegant style, often wearing button down shirts and/or his school uniform even after the classes have finished. Sometimes he overdresses, wearing clothes a bit too much fancy for an otherwise pretty casual occasion.

Balancing between the two there is Eli, which tends to prefer a simple style with an occasional fancy touch. More often than not she wear hand-me-downs from her siblings. Some of her style trademarks are floral patterns and really heavy scarfs/gloves/coats during winter (she kind of suffer the cold).

Fashion-wise, Wilfrid is an oddball, often ascending to actual fashion disaster. Like, how did he even get a customized uniform in black and grey? Somebody should stop him.

5 - first memories:

Nico: playing outside with an old friend of his on a snowy day. Returning home as it began to snow once again.

Rio: the days before meeting Lyris for the first time, when he befriended Marco and saw him use his powers for the first time.

Eli: playing with Marco and her older sister, meeting Nico for the first time at the kindergarten.

Wilfrid: playing with his siblings around their old house, pranking the butler.

6 - favourite/least favourite animal

Nico doesn’t have a favourite animals, but he is not particularly fond of worms and other “slimy things that can be easily chopped”. Ew.

Rio loves his two cats. He used to be a bug nerd before moving onto collecting minerals.

While Eli has been over her infamous horse phase (Nico sometimes teases her about it. He usually regrets this soon after), she has recently grown fond of deers: one of the characters of a videogame she played recently had the appearance of said animal and it was love at first sight. She dislikes centipedes (can you blame her tho?)

Surprisingly, Wilfrid is a dog person. When he was a kid, his family owned a big dog called Josef.

7 - element(This was kinda improvised. I tried to choose images that could both refers to elemental forces/concepts and to the innermost, true nature of the four Knights)

Nico: solid rock, ground, the dark soil

Rio: clouds, mist, the sky when a storm is brewing

Eli: the ember under the ashes, the warmth of the hearth.

Wilfrid: a lightening bolt in the dark, unknown starts glowing in an alien sky

8 - theme song(This part needs to be revised and explained later)

Nico: Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (Beat Crusaders)

Rio: Mowgli’s Road (Marina and the Diamonds)

Eli: La Cura (Franco Battiato) (link to a version with english-translated lyrics)

Wilfrid: the trollolol jingle. No, seriously, maybe something like “Immortal” (by MatD once again) or “Wisemen” (by James Blunt)

9 - faceclaim/voiceclaim(I’ll do a separate post with proper links so that you can actually know what kind of voices I’m talking about)(also, as of now I’ll just put some Italian voiceclaim because they are the one I’m most accustomed with. Later I’ll think about possible English ones)

Nico:Flavio Aquilone (link to a video with some snippets of his various roles throug the years)

Rio: Marco Vivio (link to a clip where he voices Ron Stoppable from Kim Possibile)

Eli: Veronica Puccini (link to a clip where she voices Rei Ayanami from Evangelion. Keep in mind that this clip is from, I dunno, a lots of year ago, so her current voice is not as shrill as it used to be - tough she is still one of the best italian dubber IMO)

Wilfrid: Patrizio Prata (which btw is Zoro’s Italian voice actor. Note: he also sounds like this)

10 - deadly sin

Nico: sloth

Rio: pride

Eli: greed

Wilfrid: wrath

from the fic "nicoeli shamelessly flirt in front of their siblings and arisa politely ignores the more risque stuff": starting with the line "If you’re really gonna do stuff like that on the regular, you’d better be ready to sing a lotta praises in my name, y’got it?” to "“You’re incorrigible. But ask me again after dinner, and… we’ll see, won’t we?”"

RO YOU’RE A HERO FOR TYPING THAT ENTIRE TITLE OUT!! i still cant believe i made that the title. i sure did do that. i sure, sure did.

so!! i actually had to reread that fic to get a grasp for what i was thinking for this scene. it’s been a while, hasn’t it?? time sure does fly!! my first thought on this is that i now find the change btw nico thumbing her nose @ eli n eli following thru w/ exactly what nico wants to be a little abrupt. if i were to edit this again, id add a little bit more dialogue or some fluff to soften the shift. i do think i accomplished what i set out to do in the end, though!! in my opinion, nicoeli has a very different charge from nozonico or nozoeli. i wanted to convey that difference as clearly as i could. i made sure to write them to be a little more playful with each other and a lot more overtly flirtatious than i would b if i were writing for the other two 3rd year mono ships. this particular exchange draws from the subunit SIF episode quite a bit!! i always thought their interactions in that medium to b so enthralling; the only word to describe eli when she’s w nico in the game is adorable. they play off each other in a way you wouldn’t expect if u only look @ the persona they project. but when they’re together, eli lets herself b silly and playful and almost childish, and nico is Validated^(TM) for who she is because eli showers her in compliments. they’re comfortable enough to b silly with each other, but also sincere!! that’s what i had in mind when i wrote this scene. by this point in the NicoEli Timeline, they’re settled enough to b romantic in front of each others’ families, to tease n make fun of each other, and also to b awkward n flustered w/o it dampening the warmth between them. i wanted to show off that particular NicoEli flair (they’re so gross n flirty. listen i kno nozoeli often fills that role for most LL fans but nicoeli would make those two look Tame. this is the couple that makes u wanna cover ur ears n gag bc of the sheer level of PDA), n also make the point that of all the other muse members, eli is one of The Most likely to take nico @ her word when she’s being Nico n praise her for it. i still remember that eli-elicchi thing!! i havent forgotten!! the setting of this was also deliberate; this domestic setting is The Least charged situation that i could think of, but nicoeli are still so into each other regardless. that contrast rlly helped make my point n gave nicoeli a backdrop that i didn’t have to elaborate too much on, bc they’re both already so comfortable in it. it highlights just how close they are, dont u think?i used way too many words to say “eli’s being kashikoi” n “nico’s a little lovey dovey gremlin” HAHAHA but i hoped it was entertaining!! thanks for sending in an ask ^^/

#sincerely pantsu #i love nicoeli... this is honestly one of my fav pieces #thanks for choosing this piece ro!! i hadnt known that i missed it so much #huesofthemorning
