What is your honest opinion on the TMNT 2012 girls? In my opinion I don't understand a lot of the hate they get and they weren't even horrible or that badly writen. Yeah there were flaws in their writing but so did the other male characters have it as well.

I love all the girls! Some more than others. They all have their good qualities and I will admit even my favorites have flaws, but I blame the writer's more than the characters themselves.

This took awhile to put together and get my honest thoughts through, but here it is! Here’s my opinion of the TMNT 2012 Girls: April, Karai, Irma, Renet, Mona Lisa, Shinigami and Alopex!

April O'Neil

My opinion of April has changed throughout the years. As a kid first watching the series I felt indifferent towards her (I didn’t hate her but I also didn’t like her), then when the series was over I grew salty and began to hate her on rewatch. I became a toxic person because of my hatred for 2012 April, but lately I’ve grown to like her and appreciate her for the good things she’s done. I’m proud of her for how far she’s come in her ninja training. I think most of that change came from how ridiculously hated she is in the fandom when honestly she doesn’t deserve that hate. She's not the best or the perfect character, but some people make it their religion to hate on her and it's pathetic. I realized how toxic 2012 April haters are and I wanted to distance myself from that and I began to chat with 2012 April fans and things got better for me and my opinion of her change to something more positive.

My biggest problem with April still to this day is her relationship with Donnie and how it was handled. I disagree when people say she was manipulative towards Donnie and Casey cause honestly I can understand that she feels uncomfortable and awkward in this situation these boys put her in and is conflicted on how she should handle it, because in the end she is only a 16 year old girl and both Donnie and Casey are still her friends that she cares about. Now her kissing Donnie at the farmhouse, I was mad at her for, but that was a dumb decision on the writer's end. That choice made it come off that April is leading him on, but honestly Donnie is not perfect either and he is just as bad when is comes to this relationship, but this post isn't about Apritello, it’s about April. If you wanna know how I would've handle Donnie and April's romance, you can check it out HERE.

I fully blame the writer's on this one, but I feel April's plot with her family's connection to the Kraang, her mom missing, and her being a half Kraang herself was totally wasted and forgotten by the 3rd season. They were doing good build up to it but then I feel they completely dropped it and forgot about it by season 4 and onward. My guess is the writer's didn't know where to go on from there so they just ignored it for the rest of the series hoping we wouldn't notice. Her have psychic powers is cool but feels totally random and out of place at times. Yeah, Kraang Prime has psychic powers too but most of April's Kraang heritage plot often leaves more questions than answers. Another thing is I wish she was given more Kraang features as the series progressed. I see a lot of fans today draw her with Kraang like eyes or tentacles coming out of her head and neck and it looks really cool! Let my girl embrace her alien side!!

Karai

She used to be my all time favorite character in the series, her intro episode is what got me into fully watching the rest of the series. So I thank Karai for being the reason I really got into TMNT. I loved her, but after rewatching the show a few times, I would see her choices and just wonder “what the hell was she thinking?” She does so many dumb decisions as the series goes on and it begins frustrate me. She had two opportunities to go back to her real father and be a family with him and her turtle brothers, but instead she is blinded by her vendetta against Shredder and wants to overthrow his empire. Now that is a cool concept, Karai taking over the Foot, but when she returned in season 4 it just feels out of no where and I feel I skip a whole arc or season. I wish they gave her more time to grow and we see her come to this decision instead of it just happening. Side note, but I love how even before the reveal, Karai acts like a teasing older sister towards the Turtles. Her dynamic with Donnie, Raph and Mikey is rare to see but you can see that they care about her and she cares about them too and I love it.

Her snake form was very cool and had a creative design, though that whole arc of trying to find her and then her being brainwashed was pointless filler, such a waste of time. How she out of no where mastered her turning from human to snake at will was so random. The whole brainwashed Karai arc in general didn't need to happened!

I feel I'm obligated to talk about it, but Karai's biggest flaw, as well as it being TMNT 2012's worst quality, was her relationship with Leo. What were they thinking with that shit?! If they wanted Leo to have a crush on the enemy that's fine! That can be good drama, but why then throw in the twist that his crush is also his sister and continue to push a romance between them in the same episode when they are acknowledged as being family?!! Such wasted potential for them to just be enemies who respect one another that grows into a friendly rivalry that becomes two siblings looking out for one another, but still like to get on each other's nerves. Beside that mess, her and Leo do have a fun and good dynamic, when it isn't being ruined with forced uncomfortable romance. I also wanna add I like her dynamic with April and parallels between the two girls. Overall, I like Karai, but she could've been better.

Irma/Rook

I'm adding "Irma" to the list cause she counted as a character for a short while before the twist and she did technically come back in season 4. I liked Irma, she was funny, quirky, and her dynamic with April and Casey was fun to watch. I liked her banter with Casey, it always made me laugh. I'm honestly still disappointed that it was revealed Irma was not even Irma but was just a robot controlled by Kraang Sub Prime. All that hope to see Irma befriend the Turtles was destroy for me.

I am glad they were able to find a way to bring back Irma in the form of the Utrom Rook in season 4. She had little screen time but she always stuck out to me for some reason. Also, wasted potential of not having April meet Rook and for her to have a heart to heart with her about the friend lost because Rook looks like her old best friend.

I actually did a whole rewrite of how I would've handle the Irma is robot twist and still keep her as a character: LINK.

Renet Tilley

I love her so much! She's funny, entertaining and a total sweetheart. I love how she's a very bubbly and overall kind person but isn't afraid to punch someone right in the face. I like how she's perceived as dumb and naïve but is actually very smart and is usually the one saving the Turtle's from certain doom. I also love the little detail of her having a gap in her teeth. Really brings out the childish nature to her character. My favorite part about Renet is how much of a fangirl she is, literally representing the entire TMNT fandom. From first meeting them Renet has so much faith and trust in the Turtles because of what she's read about them in her history books. They are her heroes, she believes in them and knows in the end they'll save the day. The very concept of the Turtles befriend a time traveler from the future was another thing that was underused and could've open the door to so many cool new stories and adventures, but like many characters, she was underused and only came back when need, like for a Halloween special of all things. I'm really surprised Mikey or any of the Turtles didn’t mentioned her after the Earth was destroyed by the Black Hole Generation, remembering what she told them about how they've saved the world so many times.

I know some people find controversy with her romantic relationship with Mikey nowadays because of them both being from different time periods, but I still find their dynamic very sweet and entertaining to watch. As best friends or as romantic partners, you got to admit that they are fun to see together. She understands Mikey and never judges him for his weird antics/ideas and Mikey finds her quirkiness adoring and always makes sure she is safe.

A little nitpick I have is with her character design, mainly when we see her without her helmet. Her hair model design doesn't look good, like it looks like she's wearing a wig that they just slapped on her at the last minute. Which sucks cause in her concept sketches her hair looks very good, with having a more proper hair line, but since the braid crown is playing as her hairline in the 3D model it doesn't look good.

Also, technically Renet is the most powerful ally the Turtles have because of her weapon alone. Why does no one talk about that?? The Turtles are lucky that Renet is on their side.

Mona Lisa/Y'gythgba

SHE IS MY QUEEN AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! <3

Next to April, Mona Lisa also gets a lot of unnecessary hate, but I know why she gets hate. It those toxic whiney Raphael fangirls who can't accept the fact that he's fictional and is happy with an actual girlfriend so now they can't have him or ship him with their self insert Mary Sue OCs. A true Raphael fangirl, like myself, would be happy for Raph that he found someone who loves and respects him for who he is.

It's already obvious that Mona was another underused character in this series. I absolutely LOVE the space arc in season 4, but the concept of the Salamandrians, though cool, were very underused despite the Turtles fighting a Salamandiran before (Newtrailzer). If you ask me, Mona and Sal should've been more present during the space arc and they should've been there helping the Turtles when they were fighting the Triceratons on Earth at the end of the arc. This choice could've given the writer's the opening for Mona to start living on Earth sooner and join the Mighty Mutanimals during mid season 4 instead of saying she joined the Mutanimals in season 5 but never see her with them! (I'm still so mad that they got our hopes up that we'd see Mona interact/become friends with the Mutanimals only to find out that we will never see her again after When Worlds Collide) I have actually wrote a whole post on how I would've included Mona in more episodes, give her more time in the spotlight and her joining the Mutanimals sooner: LINK.

Mona being a lieutenant for the Salamandiran army already says a lot about who she is and what she has been through. You cannot tell me that this woman as killed people and has war trauma! Mona is an interesting character and her personality clashes well with Raph's, even before they became a couple, them butting heads shows what kind of person Mona is. She can be short tempered and stubborn like him and would often jump to conclusions, a fight first ask question later kind of gal. She loves to fight and is a very strong and skilled warrior. She is loyal to those she looks up to and respects like her commander and is a rule follower, but sometimes she loses control of herself and steps out of line, to which her commander has to hold her back. She cares deeply about the ones she's close to and especially shows how much she loves and cares for Raph. Most fans result her to just being a love interest, but she's still her own character and grows as a person from being with Raph. Honestly the push up scene was one of her highlights, not only for being hilarious and showing how in love she is with Raph, but also showing that she's more than a strict serious lieutenant. That scene reminds us that she's still a teenager and is acting her age, even she can't help but break her serious military persona once in a while.

I absolutely adore her and I'm so happy more fans today are growing to love her as much as I do! She's such a great character and its ashamed that we didn't get to see more of her in the show, but I'm happy with what I got.

Shinigami

My only criticism I have of her is that she is underused (I know I say that a lot) and I really dislike that she was forced shipped with Mikey. It was the most pointless decision they did for her character. You can just tell the writer's didn't know what to do with her so the made her a love interest as well thinking that would make her more interesting. That was a dumb decision. Her and Mikey are not a good match for many reasons I won't get into, but here's what they should've done:

Not ship her with anyone cause we already had enough love interests by the time she entered the show.

Ship her with Leo instead of making him crush on his freaking sister. They already wanted him to have a crush on a female ninja from the Foot Clan who's a bad girl, why couldn't they hold it off until he met Shini instead of Karai?

Ship her with Casey as a way to give Casey a happy ending after that whole love triangle drama.

Ship her with Karai cause they were obviously already dating in the show! Shinirai forever!!

Regardless of that poor decision, I love Shini, her design is very gorgeous and creative, and her concept of being a witch brings something new to the series with magic and illusions. I feel there has been wasted potential with her not being involved during the Kavaxas arc, cause come on, she's a witch who specializes in dark magic. Why didn't they have her be attached to the Kavaxas cult in some way? Or have her know about Kavaxas and help the team stop him? Honestly I was convinced at one point that Shini was going to be a surprise villain and she was secretly loyal to Shredder not Karai and betray her during the finale. I made a whole post about it actually LINK.

Overall, I love Shinigami! Next to Mona Lisa she is one of my favorite female characters. I love seeing her teasing April and the others, especially towards her enemies, treating a battle like its nothing more than a game to her. Her loyalty and romance friendship with Karai I adore. She is such a fun character and underrated too if you ask me.

Alopex

She stole the show and she was only in one episode! Once again, another underused female character. Alopex is technically (not counting April) the first female mutant on the show (not counting Karai cause she's able to turn back), and we only get one episode with her. That should be consider a crime, but the episode she was in, she made a damn good impression. We learn of her and Tiger Claw's tragic backstory and you grow to understand why she is so hatful towards her brother for the life he put her through and him supposedly killing their parents. She establishes herself as a badass and continues to prove she is a badass throughout the episode. The way she cut off her brother's tail and later is arm without a second thought and then leaves shows shows how ruthless she is, but her sparring him also shows her compassion and her hope that one day her and Tiger Claw can be a family again.

Her line "Just remember, I could have taken your life" sent chills down my spine when I first heard it.

My biggest complaint is WHY didn't they bring Alopex back during the Kavaxas arc in season 5?! How cool would it have been if the Turtles recruited and teamed up with Alopex to take down her brother!

Cult Shenanigans

Ghost stories

POV Ash

If you had told Ash 80 years ago that she would have her life turned upside down by a green wort worm, be put up for sacrifice to a God she didn't even know, and then saved by a adorable little lamb. She would've socked you in the face and told you to get back to work. Her old village wasn't big by any means. Smaller than the campsite they are at now. Resources were slim, and food was scarce. Being the only girl out of a litter of 7 kits, she had to learn how to fight to survive. But they were happy, and the future was looking up as they had gotten a big shipment of resources and seeds. Though they weren't expecting that the shipment was a trap.

Now, 80 years later, the last surviving member of the village. She has died, been resurrected, died again, and been resurrected yet again. For what, she honestly didn't care to know. She knew she was going to be resurrected. The Lamb always let them know, though sometimes even the Lamb couldn't keep up with who wasn't here and who was. She'd been watching her fearless leader running around doing tasks about the camp. More than what they should be doing in her honest opinion.

The heat of the day was over and giving way to the cool night breeze. The sun would be setting soon, and soon, their work day would come to an end. Shifting on her stiff legs, she let's her butt plop down onto the ground before just falling backward and groaning in tiredness. A stifled chuckle comes from her side, Keith finally making noise after three hours.

"What's wrong, Ash? Getting tired of worshipping the Lamb finally?" A feminine voice echoing across the statue. Of course, Valefar would jump on the chance to poke some fun at her.

"Not as tired as you are after a night with Thorn~" her retort was quick, gaining a dramatic gasp from the fluffy pink cat at her side.

"We have not done the naughty! We just chat a lot that's all."

"And the giggling with sounds of what is clearly you two making out?" She bumps her tail to the cat's arm.

"It's absolutely normal for couples to make out. You're the weird one without someone. Heck, even Keith has a crush on someone." Thron was not having it. Not that she could blame him, everyone has teased him for somehow managing to swing two former followers of the choas God.

"Yeah! You literally fit the lone wolf vibe like our leader. Go find someone or just ask the leader out." Yeah, that wasn't happening. From the number of times she had been witness to the Lamb's rejections, she could tell they didn't really like anyone more than as their flock.

"How about you shove it up your ass Valefar."

"Bitch! I am saying you need a life outside of devoting your existence to the Lamb and Death." She wasn't wrong. All Ash has done since she's been here was devote herself to the Lamb and The One Who Waits. But it's not like a 24.7 thing, she does hang out with her friends, just not as much as she likes showing her devotion. She wanted so desperately to be at the Lamb's side. To be the once they confide in, but so far, they have been distant.

"Well, if we're done poking fun at each other, let's head to bed. Night fall is upon us soon."

"You're dodging the topic, Ash~" The fuzzy red silk worm moves past the statue over to the group. Closing Ash in their little bubble.

"I have a life outside of devoting myself to our God and Lamb. I just know when to separate work from play." Sitting up off the ground finally, she stretched out her back a bit. She wasn't able to do an actual full stretch while sitting on the ground like Thorn. But in a way, she counts that as a blessing. She knows her limits.

"Plus, isn't this like our job? We power the Lamb to help free our God. What else could anyone wish for?" The looks she got weren't ones she liked.

Keith scratches the back of his head. Despite him being the first follower, he never really seemed to be eager about all this. More than once, has he fought with the Lamb about their decisions. And while she understood his values didn't aline well with the Lamb's. It's those same values that have kept him from his death. Those same values showed him that it was okay to be flawed.

"Ash.... I don't think we should sacrifice our health..... especially our mental health." He nervously taps his fingers together. "And That's kinda worrisome behavior...."

"Oh, okay. So we all know Keith is a skeptical bitch." Valefar claps her hands together and takes a deep breath, shooting a glare at Keith who was trying to speak again. "We aren't saying love is devotion. There's a difference, and while you do have devotion. You clearly also have a thing for the Lamb."

How can she have a thing for the Lamb? She wasn't even sure they even thought she was even a friend. Isn't this a little jumping the gun? She sighs, pitching the bridge of her snout out of frustration.

"While you're might not be wrong about me wanting to know them more, that's it. I don't know about you, but I don't think they even know that we exist outside what we do." She pushes herself up off the ground and brushes herself off. "Plus, looking at this from a more modest perspective, I want to be someone they can trust. And I will do so without pushing them out of their boundaries."

Thorn smiles softly and takes her arm into his. "I agree with this. That's a lot healthier way of getting into a relationship compared to my way."

"Oh? Was me pin-"

"Aaaaaahhh! Valefar nooooo!" Quickly, the pink cat covers his taller lover's mouth.

----

Night had fallen hours ago yet. Sleep didn't come for the four, so to combat this, they decided to sneak off to the temple to tell ghost stories. Like scarring the shit out of each other would fix their insomnia. It mostly fueled Valefar's and Ash's gremlin behavior as Keith was too easily spooked by things, and Thorn was so fluffy when they got to scare him.

Keith had been bad at telling ghost stories compared to the rest. Thorn's while can be scary. It was more a predictable scary. Valefar's genuinely scared them all. For a former follower of chaos, she definitely showed follower of death traits long before all this. Graphically telling of true horror stories about things she has done in the past to those who didn't follow the old faith.

Meanwhile, Ash seemed to be more on the supernatural side of ghost stories. Her turn, having rolled around again, She was growing tired. But the others clearly were still wide awake. It was definitely close to midnight or past midnight now. And none of them are going to want to wake up tomorrow. Taking a deep breath, letting her mind clear so she could tell her story. Her ear flicks, and she opens her eyes, an idea in mind now.

"You ever hear about the Lambs that were all sacrificed? What happened to their souls?" Her voice had drops a bit with the seriousness in it.

"A bit of an insensitive story, Ash." Keith crossed his arms, not amused by this at all. And he wouldn't be wrong if he wasn't the one pointing it out. But so far, there were no objects to her using this topic.

"Oh, shut up, Keith. Valefar has been telling fucking old faith stories this whole time." Thorn jabs back to the fawn. "Continue with your story, Ash. I know that I personally never heard anything about what happened to the lambs' souls before."

A smirk danced on the fox's lips as Thorn allowed her to continue. "In my old village, not too far from this campground actually." A lie, "We had worked throughout the night, and when night falls, the barrier between life and death is lowered by the magic in the air. So it was a great time to craft magic infused items to make a protective barrier around the village. Like how the Lamb has those just outside the campground." She gestures to where the stone wall would be outside the temple.

"That night, me and my brother, Jackson, were assigned this task. We hadn't ever done this before. So we spent the whole day learning each one who what they were supposed to do." She leans back and reaches up into the air.

"We came up with a game plan. I would take care of my half of the village while he did his half. It's quicker that way. And we could possibly get a few more hours of sleep." Grabbing onto the air, a silent gesture to how untrue their thoughts were.

"Everything started out fine. I was able to get halfway through my side in such a short time. Finding the whole process of blessing and crafting a mind-numbing experience. I guess I never really noticed the movement in the treeline till I was just mear inches from it."

The room was silent in her momentary pause. She had captured their attention now. "I would not lie. If a doll could be made creepy, it was then. Because right in front of me was a doll of a lamb. One poorly made, I guess it had been made by a lamb if I were to think about it clearly now. Though at the time, it wasn't something we'd make. So, seeing it hanging from a string on its neck really freaked the hell out of me."

Keith's face contorted to confusion, as well as Thorn's. Both had been expecting her to scare them then. Valefar was more interested now. For her, this wasn't normal behavior of a sane person. This was the behavior of someone who genuinely wanted to get a reaction out of Ash.

"I don't really know how to explain it, so this might sound shitty. But just looking at that doll gave me this more unsettling feeling, like something, or someone was just trying to get my attention. I felt like I needed to quickly finish what I was doing there before anything else were to happen." She leans forward. "After a while, though, you can't ignore the eyes, bareing into you back."

The boys both tense up unsettled by the feeling. Being so invested that they themselves felt the pinpricks of goosebumps crawling around their backs. It felt so real to what Ash was saying, as if they actually did have eyes on their backs. Thorn's fur raised making him much larger that he truly was.

"Time didn't seem to go so fast anymore. Going back to a sail pase, as their was silence in the air around me. Nothing dared to make a sound other than me. Cross, wrap, bless, cross, wrap bless." They all seemed to be sitting on the edge ready for something, anything to happen. Uneasiness filled the air as if they were being circled by a predator.

"Snap... I broke one of the sticks." She hangs on the eerie silence. "It's next to me now. I can feel its breath down the side of my neck. But I dare not to look. Don't look Don't-"

"WhErE's My HeAd~" The deeper, monotone, broken voice of a half awake grumpy Lamb comes just beside Thorn and Keith. Causing both to scream in pure terror and scrabble out of the temple. A very shocked and scared Valefar was dragged out by her hairbairned boyfriend. All this just cracked the fox up.

She heard the Lamb coming out of their hiding spot within the temple before. Where exactly that was, she didn't even care. It was just convenient for her to scare the others to bed. She'd been laughing hysterically at her peers. She looked over to the Lamb in her fit of laughter.

They were smiling rather amused as well from the whole interaction. "Having fun there, my dear?" They stepped into the light, the red glow around their mouth and eyes flipping back into their natural look. Though lately after the first bishop's death, their eyes have been slowly turning more red by the day.

"Very my Lamb. It's about time we headed to bed. Thank you for helping them to bed."

There was silence as the Lamb watched her from where she sat. She was suddenly very glad that she was a black fox, as she could feel embarrassment crawling at her.

"....Rest here for the night. It'll keep them in bed." They move over the the podium. Opening up the side and pulling out a few blankets and bags of wool as pillows. "Plus, you look like you're about to pass out right here and now. So bedrest is in order." They smile at her seemingly to be completely unaware of her embarrassment.

"Thank you, my L-"

"Max.... my name is Maximum, but call me Max."

"Thank you, Max." She smiles softly up to them, glad to see them opening up, even a little bit.

desperate housewives. season six, episode five.

it is in our nature to judge the people around us.

i think you're a lousy mother.

the monkey's killing the clown!

my laundry is clean, folded and put away.

look! open, closed. open, closed.

you shot me!

i'm a good mom, aren't i?

i understand why you're upset. i'd be on edge, too, if my marriage were having problems.

she asked me a question, i just answered it.

they can't keep a goldfish alive for more than one day. what makes you think they're gonna take better care of geraniums?

why isn't [name] helping you?

you're like a dog with a bone. let it go.

you think you can dangle that axe over my head?

let's have a nice father-son chat about how you're cheating on mom.

if it was no big deal, why didn't you just tell me?

things got a little heated the other day, and i think we both said some things we didn't mean.

it left her with this constant fear that everything could suddenly fall apart, and that's why she needs to control everything.

let him go. i can do the gig alone.

stay out of our lives, or you'll be sorry!

we don't need to use that spatula anymore.

if [name] would like to come to [name]'s birthday party, we'd love to have her.

when i first brought you here, you didn't want to set foot in this room.

you're kind of a wet blanket since you quit smoking.

he just went over my head to you.

you tried to kill me!

what were you doing sneaking around my house?

oh, don't blame me. i wasn't even in the room.

last month, we needed a sitter for [name], but you didn't want to miss oktoberfest.

we're gonna have face painting, and a cotton-candy machine, and a clown.

what did i tell you about sledding down the staircase?

[name] just shot [name]

i told you she was gonna snap. it's always the pretty ones.

a monkey almost killed a clown.

she grew up without her dad. her mom was a drinker. so, she had to be responsible for everyone.

we judge the way strangers dress.

i just fired you, so you can go home.

you're the one with dirty laundry.

sorry, but i'm not comfortable with that.

you'll never know what you've done for my sex life.

more cake for us. beat it.

i haven't been able to sleep.

you said you were seeing a guy. you think maybe he had something to do with it?

i thought you saw me.

just 'cause you like crunching his walnuts doesn't mean i do.

do you like pizza?

for example, if she were to ask me if we were having a bouncy house, i'd have to say, "just the biggest bouncy house you've ever seen!"

i knew i liked that guy the minute he walked in.

if you love me at all, you'll give me a match and an alibi.

you want to destroy her life?

i'm just saying, you shouldn't make snap judgments about people.

please, let me go.

this isn't about winning!

did i say one cross word to you?

i make plenty of decisions around here.

i won't look at you no more, okay?

stop it. stop loving me. i'm not worth it anymore.

i had a very irksome encounter myself today.

getting the picture isn't the problem. it's getting rid of it.

you're right, i'm sorry. this is cruel.

i'm so sorry i'm late.

oh, please, if i were gonna kill you, i wouldn't do it in my own front yard.

i know it wasn't you, [name].

you see i'm having an affair, and you just assume i'm a bad person.

i don't have time to argue.

why would people lie to get out of a kids party?

i'm not checked in, i came here to see you.

[name], when you've needed a favor from me, have i ever let you down?

i followed her home, and it turns out she does have a boyfriend. you.

i didn't tell you because i, crazy me, thought it might upset you.

i flipped her the bird the other day after she cut me off.

you know, if you'd taught your kid how to tuck and roll on impact, we wouldn't even be having this conversation!

since you're using a cell phone, you know what century it is.

it's not what i would've chosen, but it's growing on me.

you're just sneaking off here to do the nasty with your boyfriend.

your disdain was perfectly clear from the look you gave me.

well, what are we supposed to do?

if you have a moment, no rush. would you hang this birdhouse for me?

i think you should clear the air.

i was like you. i wanted fun, excitement.

yes, we make these judgements all the time, never thinking that one day we may be judged ourselves.

your gentleman friend stand you up?

let's talk about it.

why are you calling [name]?

and your point is?

well, if you two are so happy, then where did he just disappear to?

[name]? over there. that tree.

i feel guilty all the time.

if you knew more about my marriage, you'd see me very differently.

i don't have any weed, lady.

a chat (very loosely based off real events ig)

[MikuHolic and Enanan made a chat] [Enanan]: Hello, Ichika. I'm just coming here to say that your posts about Hatsune Miku are pretty cool. [Enanan]: I also noticed you followed me as soon as I followed you, which is even cooler! [MikuHolic]: Thanks, Ena! I've been a fan of Miku for a very long time, so it's not surprising that I post about her so much. [MikuHolic]: I also appreciate your Hatsune Miku fanart a lot! [Enanan]: Thank you, Ichika-chan! I always like seeing people enjoy my art, even if they're not really that great. [MikuHolic]: What do you mean? Your art is great in every way! [Enanan]: Well, most people around me would like to disagree, but I still appreciate that you care. [MikuHolic]: Most people..? [MikuHolic]: Not to get personal all of a sudden, but have you been trying to prove them wrong with your art, if I heard it correctly? [Enanan]: Yes, of course! I'm still doing all I can to do that and establish a place for myself in this world, no matter how much I stumble. [MikuHolic]: I've been dealing with something similar, too. You've probably read my posts about my band's live performances, right? [MikuHolic]: It's been quite rough for me and my bandmates, but we're still trying our best to succeed [Enanan]: And you did! I remember seeing one of your live performances online and you all nailed it! [Enanan]: What I'm saying is, I don't think you and your band would've made it if you were by yourself, of course. [MikuHolic]: I'm glad you shared your support, Ena! Even if we still don't know eachother very much, I'm very happy to see you care about me and my band [Enanan]: You're welcome, Ichika-chan! But I think we got a little off-topic here. [Enanan]: I just want to say that I appreciate you liking Hatsune Miku a lot. I don't know how I really got to enjoy her, considering she's not talked about much from where I'm at. [MikuHolic]: Well, her mission is to spread music everywhere around the world no matter what, so I think she did her job well [MikuHolic]: She's also done a great job at saving me and my friends multiple times, so there's that. [Enanan]: Miku also ended up saving me a lot, too. I don't think me and my friends would have gotten this far without her! [MikuHolic]: I made through life and I resparked my courage to be with my friends again because of her, so we're on the same page with this. [MikuHolic]: Well, now that I think about it, we're a lot like each other despite us being so different. [Enanan]: Anyways, I'm going to draw something for Miku again, just for you. [Enanan]: I'm glad we found ourselves through Miku, Ichika-chan [MikuHolic]: Oh! I didn't realize it was so late already! [MikuHolic]: I'm sorry, but I have to go sleep now! I'm glad we could talk about Miku together. [Enanan]: I'm glad too. I'm just going to stay up a little more late for a project. [MikuHolic]: See you soon, Ena-san! [Enanan]: See you soon too, Ichika-chan.

Heya! Its me again. I was wondering if you could write Amos being a cool uncle? (I bet hes the kind to give Carter n sadie money when Julius isnt looking. And this lil rebel streak of his is egged on by Set) I also think he would braid sadie's hair and help her take good care of it! N maybe he teaches Carter how to play an instrument or nerd out about basketball together.

Thank you in advance! I also loved your previous hcs for Amos,they were spot on and very heart melting!!

Amos Kane (T.K.C)

Oh I love this so much, I definitely can do that! I'll probably write a couple different scenarios instead of making a whole oneshot so it'll be easier!

There was a knock on the door but it didn't surprise Amos like it would've a few years ago. Instead he walked over to the door with a smile on his face and opened it to see his neice and nephew. They had taken to visiting him more seeing as he's been in their lives pretty frequently.

He let them in with a large smile on his face, "Perfect timing you two, I have something for you guys." Amos said, closing the door once the kids stepped inside.

"Oooh, whatcha got for us?" Sadie asked, walking into the living room and plopping on the couch. She had a habit of making herself at home. Carter stayed quiet, instead opting to watch his uncle go over to his bag.

"Well, you know how I visited England the other day? Well, I decided to go to a museum and ended up buying some things from the gift shop." Amos said, taking out two gift bags and handing them to Sadie and Carter. The two kids exchanged looks before they began to open the bag.

Carter's gift was a silver pocket watch that seemed to be very well made. It had intricate designs that wrapped all around and even very tiny engravings in the watch itself. Cart looked at his uncle with a soft smile, "Thank you Uncle Amos, this is amazing."

Amos just smiled and turned his attention to Sadie, her gift was obviously different. When she opened it she saw a silver tiara, it also looked very well made with red gems edged into the silver. It was stunning, but also... Sadie hadn't wanted a tiara since she was 7.

She was about to say something when she caught Carter's glare, she bit her lip before forcing a smile, "It's beautiful, thank you Amos."

Amos just about beamed at the praise, moving to go to the kitchen, "I'm going to make us some lunch, feel free to wander around."

It was early December when the Kane's were all together. There wasn't a whole lot of them, but it was enough to fill Amos' dining room and enough for him to cook a decent amount of food. But dinner was long done, now everyone stayed chatting and Julius was going over to find a movie for everyone to watch.

Sadie and Carter were talking amongst each other in hushed whispers, trying not to draw attention to their conversation. "I think dad would love this, maybe we can get it together?"

Sadie scoffed at what her brother had suggested, "Even if we did, we wouldn't have enough. We're gonna have to wait until next year."

Carter sighed but he knew his sister was right, he was about to accept defeat when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked over to see Amos and his eyes widened a bit, "Uncle Amos, how long have you been standing there?"

Amos smiled a bit before glancing at where his brother was still shuffling through movies. When he confirmed Julius wasn't looking he slid both of them a couple of bills. They looked at it before looking back at Amos, but he just held a finger to his lips, "Our little secret, alright?"

Sadie grinned, shoving the money in her back pocket and nodded. Carter still was processing haven been given more than enough for the present he wanted for his father as well as extra for everyone else. He smiled and looked at Amos, "Thank you."

Sadie blew a stray hair out of her eye as she tried to summon a portal. She easily did it before, she wasn't sure how she was having trouble now. She huffed and collapsed on the floor in exhaustion.

Sadie barely registered the footsteps of someone approaching until she felt someone mess with her hair. She turned around to see Amos, not thinking anything of it she just faced forward again.

They stayed like that for a few minutes, Amos messing with her hair. There were occasional tugs and pulls of her hair that made her eyebrow twitch but she didn't think anything of it.

Eventually Amos patted her shoulder, as if urging her to stand up, "That should make it easier."

Sadie was confused, moving a hand to feel her hair. They were pulled back into two french braids. She paused before turning around to look at her uncle, "You're good at that."

Amos just chuckled softly, "I'd sure hope so, considering I do my own hair." He said, pushing a lock of his hair over his shoulder. "I'll teach you sometime, it'll make practice and the real thing much easier without hair in your face."

Amos was taking Carter somewhere, but he didn't say where. Carter was intrigued but Amos refused to budge. So instead the teen just followed his uncle in silence, staring at the shops and hoping to maybe come to some sort of guess as to where they were going.

But he had nothing, so he just walked. Eventually Amos stopped in front of a building, Carter tried to find the sign but his uncle was pulling him inside before he could.

Carter looked around the room, surprised to see many different instruments and people playing said instruments. Amos greeted someone before he gestured for Carter to follow him to another room.

Carter hesitated, still confused but at least having some sort of understanding as to what was happening. He would be lying if he said he wasn't a little bit excited when he followed his Uncle into another room.

Amos stood and was holding a bass, "You said you wanted to see me play right?" Carter nodded, "And potentially learn a bit?"

Carter smiled, excited to finally see Amos play and potentially even learn a bit from him, "Definitely."

Amos cracked a small smile, plugging in the bass before sitting down, "Any requests?"

I had fun writing these!! I really have to get more into TKC again so I can write actual fics about them. But here are some fun little Uncle Amos stories!! -Vey :)

Alright you, I am totally willing to chat with you about Derek Venturi's vibe being "folklore" by Taylor Swift. I'm gonna end up listening to that album again this weekend while thinking about him, my favourite blorbo, and internally screaming while I work retail; and I both blame AND thank thee.

Okay, yes, because here's the thing: folklore is an album full of contradictions and really fucking confusing plotlines and self doubt while simultaneously believing in oneself above all else and that is Derek Venturi to a t. (He's also Midnights but that's a conversation for another day.) Please add your thoughts to this somewhat comprehensible thing I wrote about this!

Literally ever since the thought came to me all I have been able to think is Derek being every song and I have ✨thoughts✨ on it.

the 1: alright, look, Derek is aware that people *think* he's cool. But the thing is, he's had two serious relationships in his entire life. Sally was cool, he thinks he loved her, in the fearless way someone loves when they're sixteen and might have had feelings for their stepsister at the same time. Being with Sally was cool, but he knew it never would've worked out long term because... *vaguely hand gestures to his brain, which must be at least 20% Casey.* It's not that Derek regrets being with and loving Sally, he's just aware it wasn't forever and was never meant to be. He always felt like he had to be better around her, to be a version of himself that didn't prank Casey and start wars with the football team (even though, hello, they're football players, Sally, they totally deserve it! Max is annoying and an ass and not a good partner to Casey and football is a terrible sport that only narcissistic egomaniacs who should be spouting the Star Spangled fucking Banner play), a version of himself that was soft and kind and just not Derek. He can be those things, but not all the time. His love language is fond insults.

cardigan: this one is how he feels a lot of the time. As a society, we've acknowledged this is a song about being used when someone needs something but not actually being what they need or want. That's how Derek feels. He's a god amongst men, alright, and that comes with people wanting him for something or another constantly. Do they care about him? Not really, but don't they do a damn good job of pretending? It's almost convincing. Just like the song.

the last great american dynasty: is he a woman named Rebekah living in Rhode Island after the death of her first husband? No, not to his knowledge. Does he fit the vibe of someone who decides that fuck it, he's going to spend the rest of his life doing a bunch of random hijinks with his friends and Casey and their pack of kids? Of course. That's literally Derek. He has dyed a dog key lime green (Casey didn't find it nearly as amusing as Derek and Molly did, because she is lame and needs to expand her horizons), he has decided to pace rocks just to look insane and aesthetic and he's certainly made questionable gambling decisions (hence Sky's conception. Use a condom, kids.)

exile: do you know how long this man spent pining after Casey?? If we take LWL into effect, it's twenty four years! And in those 24 years, Casey was never single longer than nine or ten months (because she's Casey and loves long term relationships and all the bullshit that comes with them because she's never done anything casually. Except the one time they fucked and he ran away to Paris and they never spoke of it again), which meant Derek had to watch her fall in love, over and over again, with different terrible men! Really, what was she thinking? A football captain, a douchebag who rated her (and only thought she was a six and a half, as if Derek would ever obsess over a six and a half! It's insulting), a guy who didn't have a personality and a neglectful husband have been her choices. He has to watch, from the sidelines, because she doesn't let him in after everything happened, after the fight and the sex and the avoidance. All he is to her is a stepbrother she once hooked up with. Nothing more. Meanwhile, his heart cracks every time he sees her and Peter on Facebook.

my tears ricochet: specifically the first verse is giving Derek vibes to me. He knows he can bring out every side of people effortlessly, he can read them like a book because Derek is so smart, it's just people smart! It's why he knows that he has to try and be the greatest (not that it takes much effort, but it's difficult some days) to get any attention, to get love from his parents and his family and everyone around him. Because everyone loves him conditionally and Derek is barely holding himself together. Scotch tape doesn't fix everything. But c'mon, Marti, Simon and Sky are the only people who have loved him without conditions, without terms of service. What else is he supposed to believe? That he's suddenly lovable and perfect and doesn't need to put in any effort ever because he's not a fuck up? That would erase literal decades of George, Abby and Nora's parenting.

seven: being a kid is fucking great, man. Even a kid whose parents don't like him, who make him feel like a fuck up because he had to repeat the first grade (look, alright, it's hard to focus and his brain won't because Derek is broken and he's aware. Moving on), a kid who tries so hard and never gets acknowledgement. And then his parents have Edwin! Just because! Edwin is planned, he's wanted, he's everything Derek isn't. But when Derek is seven, George and Nora start fighting more. He takes Ed (who's two) and they hide out in the backyard, in a shitty treehouse that'll probably result in a broken bone one day, playing pirates until Edwin falls asleep or the yelling stops, whichever comes first. Because being seven is also impossible. It's great in hindsight, but at the time? God, it sucks. He romanticizes it until he remembers having to scream so loud the neighbors thought something was wrong so George and Abby would stop fighting, remembers the time he broke his arm on the slide because they wouldn't get outside and play so he went first and they didn't even notice until three days later because they were in such an intense fight. Being seven was the best and worst of times and sometimes, Derek thinks it was his peak. In a weird competition, his parents would always try to shower him with love right after a fight. It didn't add up, but whatever, who is he to judge?

august: Derek is August. I need this to be known; he's the one waiting on a call, who desperately wants to get it and knows he won't. Casey won't call, she'll never call, because they fucked everything up, hooking up. He saw it clear as day on her face the morning after, it's why he went to fucking Paris. And honestly, he's never really a first choice, is he? He's always the backup guy, the guy who you drag out for looks but don't actually love. You'll pretend to, and you'll do a good job, but no one actually does and that's okay.

this is me trying: he tries, alright? It may not seem like it, with Derek being a solid D+ student, but he tries. So hard. It's not his fault that his fucking brain won't cooperate and he can't learn the useless stuff. Give him a hockey stick, he'll be so good you'll forget all about your problems, but don't make him do school. He hates it. The only topics he can learn about are the ones he's obsessed with (mythology, film, music, the history of video games that one summer, the bodice rippers Casey keeps under her pillow, Casey as a whole entity (this is entirely against his will. Believe him, his life would be so much easier if he didn't know so much about Casey and feel so much about her he cannot breathe and he can't talk about it so it just sits there, being a crushing weight on him because she is inconvenient! And annoying and the absolute worst!), hockey, all of Marti and Simon's interests, etc) and five paragraph essays do not fit that. But then there's the fact he practically is a parent to Marti, doing all the emotional and physical labor of one most of the time. He tries so hard to not fuck her up because he loves her so much. Ed's cool and he loves him, but Smarti's different, okay? When Derek met Edwin, he sort of just shrugged, loved the kid and failed to get him into anything cool. When he met Marti, Abby told him he'd be taking on responsibility and Derek took that seriously. He's uncharacteristically responsible with her. Marti is the fucking best. Derek tries so hard to not be obsessed with Casey, even though it feels like she's in his fucking bloodstream, she's running through him, she's a goddamn part of him and sometimes he wants to crawl inside of her skin and live there, because he knows she can't feel the same. Casey doesn't love him. Casey doesn't even like him! So he pranks her and grins and throws a fit when she dates Sam (which, seriously Sam? What a fucking betrayal, dude. The male code! It's a real thing and definitely not something he just pulled out of his ass so you wouldn't date his annoying and hot stepsister) and eventually tries to be a decent person because, for some reason, she doesn't give up on him. It's sickening.

illicit affairs: before Casey finalized her divorce with Peter, there was (shh, it's a secret, don't tell the family) an affair happening in her house. Take two guesses as to who it was. Derek and Casey? Brilliant. Yeah, it's an affair, and it makes Derek feel dirty, like all he's good for is being a secret boy toy, but he loves her so much that he'll take whatever she's giving, even if it's just bare scraps. Derek will break himself in half to help her, to make Casey feel better, and if being her mistress is how he does it, then it'll be fine. He won't panic about their future once her divorce is finalized at all.

invisible string: there is only one explanation for why Derek's felt so drawn to Casey since he first met her. She had a schoolgirl uniform on. Is it his kink? No, not particularly, but she's a hot girl in a schoolgirl uniform. He's not blind! But also, he met her and something in his brain lit up, some part he'd never known was there before, some part that made him want to be around her all of the time for some inexplicable reason. She's infected him like a cancer. It's evil. He loves it. There's something dragging them together constantly, and at his age of 38 (please don't mention it, he's coping poorly), he can admit it might be fate or the universe or whatever. Derek loves Casey and she loves him back. Has for decades, apparently. They should've pulled their heads out of their asses so much sooner, because they're in love and it's great and they go do all the cute coupley shit Derek used to swear he'd never do but in his defense: it's Casey and she lights up doing that bullshit and Derek is a total marshmallow when it comes to her. She even gets to steal his food! And watch her terrible reality shows during hockey games! This whole love thing has turned him into a disgusting sap of a person. Shoot him, please. He begs.

mad woman: Derek's spent enough time around women (Casey especially) to understand they are complex creatures. He'll never fully understand them, but he can try to. They get mad at... A lot, honestly, being a woman must be exhausting (Casey and Marti are constantly feeling things so deeply it's painful) and sometimes it's each other? He's not quite sure, but he knows they're mad. And when they are, do not mess with them. Even Casey, who is stupid hot when mad. The world is against women, apparently, so they get mad at that and the fact they have to pay for tampons (Derek ends up buying them, do not make it a thing) and having it be inferred they're just fucking insane. Which, to be fair, they are! Casey especially! But yeah, it's gotta be annoying, so he's trying to empathize and be feminist and other bullshit that Skyler has bullied him into.

epiphany: so here's the problem: Derek is aware he's had a pretty decent life, all things considered. No massive traumas, nothing a therapist should see him for. Still, he can't help but feel sometimes like there's a war being waged between his brain and the Canadian education system. It's fucking insane! School just doesn't work and Derek is broken because he doesn't get it, he doesn't understand, everything feels violent and he can't cope. Hence hockey, where he can hit things and people with sticks! Hockey is great! It's bloody and gorey and everything else Casey hates.

betty: oh boy. This one's a doozy. But it's not Derek's fault, he will maintain, that he accidentally pissed Casey off so much she won't talk to him. He made one joke about her divorce (which wasn't even that bad! The kids laughed! Simon laughed! Casey is the only one who didn't) and now she's stormed off and won't talk to him so obviously Derek needs to apologize. He hates apologies; they're lame and suck all the fun out of everything and they are the worst! But he does, and god, does he hope that it'll be enough for him to apologize by playing her a song he wrote and talking about his (ugh) feelings for her to kiss him in front of the kids and their parents and admit this is what she wants. Because this thing between them has always been on her terms, he's just along for the ride, but he'd really like to be with her forever.

peace: one of the few cons of being as amazing as Derek is that he doesn't get any privacy half the time. Neither do his romantic partners, as a result. He's aware of this and it's part of why he doesn't date anymore; it's too hard to find someone willing to deal with all of it. Once he and Casey officially get together, one of Derek's biggest fears is that she's going to realize he's not worth it. Because she'll never have a quiet, peaceful life that Casey deserves, not being with him. Everything will be an article and it's going to suck and Derek loves her. Will she be okay without getting that peace? He'd get it if she wasn't; it's okay, he won't hold it against her. She'll never get to live a normal life with him. When she tells him she'd rather insane with anyone else than normal with him, he may or may not shed a tear or two. Because he's not worth that, he isn't even close to worth the chaos that'll come with it, but Casey thinks he is for some reason, so Derek will keep trying to prove to her that he is. Every day for the rest of his goddamn life.

hoax: when love feels conditional and faithless, it's essentially a massive hoax. Derek doesn't believe in a love that'll exist with unwavering loyalty and faith and trust. It's not for him. Maybe for other people, but he doesn't get that. Everyone's love for him is a fake, a pretend, and Derek is great at pretending he doesn't know it. Love is bullshit, the kind they talk about in the movies. That doesn't exist for people like Derek. It exists for Marti and Casey and Edwin and Lizzie and Nora and George and hell, Abby and Dennis, but not for Derek. He's not wired to receive it. And he'll believe they all love him endlessly to go to sleep at night, waking up knowing it's a lie.

the lakes: sometimes, a man wants peace and quiet. He wants to go to an abandoned lake, write songs with his girlfriend, let the kids play and do whatever the fuck Luca and Sky do (he thinks Luca has a boyfriend?? It's confusing. He FaceTimes him a lot) and avoid people forever. And then Derek remembers how much he hates camping because urban hell scapes are his favorite thing, shrugs, and proceeds to overromanticize small New England towns until he goes to one. Let him have his fun, he's an artist. This is his muse.

Mr. Crude got a phone call from Alexandra, one of his former students, asking if he'd come to her house for a chat. It had been at least a year since they'd last been together so he gladly accepted her invitation.

He was happy to see her. She'd been one of his most active and closest students, having performed a few special projects as well as having a long relationship with him. After inviting him in they immediately started chatting.

"I heard through the grapevine that you got married," he said.

"Yes, I did," replied Alexandra. "It's been an experience, but for the most part, I'm happy... but that's kind of why I invited you over."

"Oh? Is there something I can do to help?" he asked.

"I hope so. I'm going to tell you something that needs to remain confidential. Don't get me wrong - we have lots of sex, but it isn't nearly as good as what you and I had!"

"What seems to be the problem?" he asked.

"Well, he's horny most of the time, but... I don't know how to put it so it doesn't sound like I'm shallow or being mean... my husband isn't built like you. He's long enough, but his dick is kind of skinny. And he doesn't last long. And his load isn't much, either. I would've thought that with me giving him a blow job every morning and us fucking every night he'd last longer by now, but he really doesn't. Plus, since neither of us want a kid anytime soon and he won't use a condom, it's all anal sex. You know I don't object to that in the least, but because his dick isn't at all thick, I don't get a lot out of it. It feels okay while he's thrusting into me, but afterwards, I really don't feel anything. When you fucked my ass I always felt it long afterwards, even after we'd been doing it all those months."

Alexandra took a deep breath and then continued. "Anyway, the other night we were talking about stuff and out of the blue he asked me if I'd ever thought about getting fucked by another man while he watched. I tried not to show him how hot I thought that'd be, so I just told him that was an interesting idea. Well, he kept going with it saying if it was ever to happen, he didn't want the other man to be a total stranger, nor did he want it to be one of his friends or a co-worker, and then asked me if I knew somebody who might be interested. Naturally, I thought of you long before he got to that. I told him that you and I had been more than just professor and student and that I'd blown you to get a better grade. I didn't tell him about all the other things we'd done, though. He asked if I thought you'd be willing to fuck me in the ass while he watched and then joined in later, and I said I'd have to ask you. So, I'm asking you. Would you like to fuck me again, while he watches?"

Mr. Crude smiled and replied, "You know I'd love to fuck you again, whether he watches or not! I have to ask, though... since his dick is thinner than mine, is it going to hurt you? And do you think it'll upset him when he sees how long it takes for me to cum?"

Smiling, Alexandra responded, "I look forward to having your dick stretch my asshole open! It may hurt a little at first, but I'll know I'm getting fucked, and I'll feel it long after you're finished. As to whether he'll get upset or not, I doubt it. He'll get to watch a while before he steps up to let me suck him off, and he may even get to watch some more after he cums."

"Okay," he replied. "I'm happy to help. I don't want to cause any problems for you."

"Not to worry!" she exclaimed. "There is one thing he likes to do that I didn't tell you about, and I hope it won't be a problem for you. After he cums in my ass, he likes to rim me and eat the cum. He may want to do that after you're finished. Would that bother you?"

"As long as you're the one who sucks my cock clean, I don't care who cleans your asshole," replied Mr. Crude.

Alexandra laughed and said, "He has some feminine leanings, but I don't think he's ready to do any cock sucking!"

Mr. Crude was surprised about the first part of what she'd just said and asked, "What are these feminine leanings?"

Giggling, she answered, "Well... I once caught him trying on one of my lace thongs! I asked him about it and he said he'd wanted to know how it would feel to wear something like that, so we made a trip to Victoria's Secret and bought matching thongs. His are bigger, naturally, but we often wear matching undies when we go out. I've noticed him staring at my bras and I wonder if he'll soon be wearing a matching bra."

"Obviously I've never met him, so I have no idea what he looks like. I'm just curious... do you think he'd look good as a woman?" he asked.

Alexandra's eyes widened as she responded, "Ya know, he might! Um, why do you ask?"

Mr. Crude chuckled and responded, "Since he likes wearing lace thongs and he likes eating his cum out of your ass, I was just wondering if he like to do more."

"Okaaay... but, what about his dick?" she asked.

"You could lock it in a cock cage!" he answered. "You could get a strap-on dildo and see if he likes to be pegged, too."

"He likes to be fingered when I suck him. It used to be just one finger, but now it's up to three. He just might!"

"Something to think about for the future, Alexandra. For right now, tell your husband that I'll be glad to help the two of you with your fantasy. Just tell me when you want to get together and we'll take it from there."

Alexandra smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it more than you know! Maybe the best part is that he's okay with you fucking me and that means we can probably get together like we used to. I'm hoping he'll want to eat your cum out of my ass! I could surprise him when he gets home from work."

Journal Entry #51 (part two)

previously - Journal Entry #51 (part one)

Victor

The day after Yuri got out of the hospital, Auntie Keiko dropped Fox off at our house at seven in the morning. That left ample time for Mr. Okamoto to go home and get ready for his work day, but he didn't leave until he'd taken Fox aside for a little chat. I didn't know what my father-in-law might be saying to him, and I was worried that it might be an unnecessary lecture about Yuri's extraordinary needs and some thinly-veiled warning about doing a good job or else. Fox didn't need that on his first day. For his sake and ours, I wanted this arrangement to go well, not to get derailed before it even started.

The urge to spy on them was strong, but I resisted.

I tried to act casual when I heard the dining room door slide open. Fox was smiling when he and Mr. Okamoto exited the room, but I didn't want to read much into it. Some people smile to hide their true feelings, and I wasn't sure if that applied to Fox or not.

It was only after Mr. Okamoto left the house and Fox and I were in the kitchen making breakfast that I found out his smile had been genuine, and why.

Okay... let me back that up a bit. It was Fox who was making breakfast. I was only helping by explaining to him what types of foods Yuri can and can't eat. Fox definitely knows his way around a kitchen, in case you're interested. His mom's a Red Seal chef, and evidently he's picked up more than a thing or two from her.

Anyway, as he was preparing the fluffiest, most tasty-looking scrambled eggs I'd ever seen in my life for himself and me, he commented, "Your father-in-law is nice."

"Uh..." I stammered. "That's... not exactly a word people regularly use for Mr. Okamoto."

"Really?" Fox seemed surprised. "I think he's nice, and he seems like a great dad. I can tell he really loves Yuri, and you too."

It was my turn to say, "Really? I mean, I know he loves Yuri, but... not so sure about me."

"He made me promise to take good care of you," Fox said. "People don't say that about someone they don't love." He paused, as if he was debating with himself whether or not to go on, but eventually he continued. "My dad... he kinda abandoned me here. He didn't ask Auntie Keiko and Uncle Kin to promise to look after me. In fact, he was so rude to Auntie that I think she's convinced he doesn't love me all that much."

"That's..." I trailed off, at a loss as to how I should respond.

"Anyway," Fox went on, "I'm okay now. I've found my family."

"I'm glad," I said. "Uncle Kin and Auntie Keiko are good people. Everybody's auntie and uncle, I guess you could say. If you needed to find a family, they're the best ones you could've found."

"I know. I'm really lucky," he said. "And you and Yuri are lucky to have his dad. He said he'd do anything for you, and I believe him."

I was still trying to wrap my head around that revelation while Fox kept on talking. I hadn't pegged him as a particularly chatty person, but maybe he's only quiet in comparison to the people he's usually with. Like, Takahiro and his family aren't the sort of people you'd call shy and retiring. I've met Fox's friend Jin a couple times as well, and that guy... Let's just say his level of energy might even rival mine.

Anyway, somewhere in the midst of his cheerful monologue, Fox told me that Mr. Okamoto offered to pay him for helping us, and Fox said he'd accepted. He said he hoped I wasn't offended by that. I told him no. Far from being offended, I was pleased that Mr. Okamoto wanted to compensate him. We might not need his help for more than a few weeks, but despite it being a short period of time, it was still going to be a tough one. He deserved to get something besides gratitude in return for it.

"I would've done it for free, just so you know," he said.

"We appreciate that," I said, "But it's better this way, and I'm glad Mr. Okamoto offered. Yuri and I wanted to give you something too, but we weren't sure how to approach it. Like, we knew you'd do it for free, but we didn't want to take advantage of you. But, we also didn't know if you'd be offended if we—”

"Victor, don't worry. It’s totally fine.” He interrupted me in the politest way I’ve ever been interrupted. “I wouldn't have been offended. I appreciate it too, but I agree with you. I think it's better like this."

With that awkwardness out of the way, we sat down to the most delicious breakfast I've had in a long time, and pleasantly idled over less weighty subjects. I'm pretty sure Fox has more in common with Yuri than with me, but we were able to find some common ground. We both love food and enjoy being creative in the kitchen. He enjoys the outdoors like I do, and he likes camping, and he knows Granite Falls.

“Maybe we could take Taka and Yuri camping when we get home this summer,” he suggested.

I grinned. “Yuri’s been camping in Granite Falls. It was, um… an experience.”

“So, bad idea, then?”

“No, it’s a great idea. He liked it in the end, and now he knows what to expect. This time, we’ll tell him he’s the expert and he can teach Taka what he learned last time.”

“An experience,” Fox said. “I like it. Taka’s into having adventures, so if you think Yuri would be okay, the four of us should definitely go.”

“There’ll be plenty of time to plan it once you get home,” I said. “There’s lots we can do, actually. I’m excited about showing Yuri and Taka around.”

“Me too,” Fox said. “Imagine, we grew up in the same area at the same time, and never met until we came here. And if our partners weren’t already friends, we probably never would have met at all."

"I like how the world's full of strange coincidences like that," I said.

"So do I, although I do kind of wish we'd gone to the same school and known each other before."

"This was the right time," I said. "Things might've worked out for us in a whole other way if our lives had been different."

"You're probably right. In any case, I'm glad we know each other now, and it feels good to think that I’ll be going home this summer to friends who’ll be waiting for me.”

“We’ll be waiting for sure,” I said. “I think it’s gonna be great.”

We loitered over our empty plates until Fox looked at his phone and announced that it was nearly nine o’clock. Mutually concluding that we’d killed enough time at the breakfast table, Fox set to work tidying up the kitchen while I directed him where to put everything. Then, he went upstairs to check on Yuri.

On that first day, I followed him upstairs and basically became his anxious, annoying shadow because I was concerned about how Yuri might feel about being left entirely alone with him. Not that I don't trust Fox — I would never have allowed him anywhere near Yuri if I didn't trust him — but Yuri is sensitive and I wanted to make sure the two of them would get off to the best start possible.

I needn't have worried. Fox is the least intimidating person I've ever met, and he's a natural at caregiving. He had Yuri up, bathed and dressed without so much as a whisper of protest, and before I knew it, he was calmly feeding him a little bowl of soy yogurt and cut-up peaches as if it was the most ordinary and unremarkable occurrence in the world.

It hasn't been all smooth sailing since then, of course. Yuri is stubborn, as I'm sure you guys all know by now. He's also fond of getting his own way, and he has all kinds of tricks up his sleeve to make that happen, and — not gonna lie — even though I'm perfectly aware he's doing it, I give in to him a lot of the time anyway.

I figured Fox would be completely taken in, since he's such a kind soul and quite frankly gives the impression of being a pushover. But, what I hadn't known in advance was that Fox has the same superpower as Yuri; the one where he can bend people to his will so sweetly and gently that they don't even notice it. Except... two people trying the same tactic on each other do notice.

I probably don't need to tell you, this has led to a few very intense conflicts between the two of them. Quiet, civilized conflicts to be sure, but no less fierce than if they'd been shouting at each other.

Irresistible force, meet immovable object.

Not unpredictably, their biggest disagreements have been around meals. For the first few days Fox was here, he fed Yuri all his meals without questioning it, but around the fourth day, I guess he figured there was no need for that to continue to be part of his job description. Yuri pushed back, and eventually it fell to me to referee the dispute.

Yuri was furious when I sided with Fox.

I know what you're likely thinking, and yeah, I do feed Yuri when he's sick because it's easier on both of us if I do. I hate seeing him struggle to eat. That stresses me out just as much as the physical act of eating stresses him. But, I had to concede that Fox wasn't wrong when he said Yuri should be perfectly capable of feeding himself. Besides, Fox is already doing enough for us, and I didn't want to complicate his job.

Yuri made a huge scene, but I gotta say I was proud of Fox for handling the whole thing like a pro. He straight-up told Yuri that he was being ridiculous which, as you can imagine, didn't go over well. I left the room at that point 'cause I didn't want to get stuck in the middle of any further wrangling between them.

As I was crossing the hallway to my own bedroom, I overheard Fox say something unexpected. He asked Yuri if the reason why he didn't want to feed himself was because he was scared.

I already knew the answer, but I was shocked when Yuri actually admitted to Fox that's what it was.

Then, Fox did something else I hadn't seen coming. He started telling Yuri about his experience in the hospital back in the autumn, and how he'd been terrified to let anyone give him an injection.

That seemed odd to me, considering Fox is an insulin-dependent diabetic and gives himself two shots every single day, not to mention the number of times a day he pokes one of his fingers or his forearm to test his blood sugar. By that point, I'd watched him do insulin injections and blood glucose tests, and he'd barely batted an eyelash at sticking tiny, sharp objects into his skin, even with an audience of one curious wannabe nurse.

Intrigued by what he was now recounting to my husband, I temporarily deserted my plan to gather up my laundry, and lurked just out of sight of the doorway of Yuri's bedroom to eavesdrop instead.

"They're not really allowed to let you give yourself a needle, you know," Fox was saying. "But, I made a big fuss about it until they agreed to let me. I had to do it because it always hurt so much when other people gave me a shot."

Yuri sounded dubious. "That makes no sense."

"I know," Fox said. "That's the thing. I can see now that it was illogical, but at the time it seemed perfectly rational to me. Anyway, I met my friend Jin when I was in the hospital. He was my nurse, and he figured out that it was hurting because I expected it to. And you know what? It turns out he was right."

"Good for him," Yuri said.

"You know what he told me?"

"I couldn't possibly guess," Yuri replied, and his tone practically screamed, I couldn't care less.

Fox was clearly undeterred. He went on, "Jin said that I need to train myself not to expect the worst, because not everything that seems like it’ll be painful or scary turns out to be.”

"Yes, well... sometimes it does."

"That's exactly what I said," Fox told him. "And he agreed with me, but he also said that if I was too afraid to take any chances, then I might miss out on something good."

"I don't see what that has to do with me," Yuri said.

Fox may have missed it, but I didn't fail to catch the nuance in my husband's words. I knew it wasn't that he didn't understand, but more like he didn't want to admit how this could apply to him. It was his way of saying I get it, but I wish I didn't.

"I heard you like strawberries," Fox said. "And I already know you like rice, so I made you something special for breakfast. It's rice pudding, but with protein powder and pureed strawberries in it, and it's sweet like a dessert. And it's pink. See? Don't you want to know what it tastes like?"

"Not particularly."

"I double-checked with Victor. Everything in it is something you've had before. It's all safe for you to eat, if that's what's worrying you. Or is it something else?"

Yuri's answer was mumbled, and I didn't catch it, but I thought it sounded like. "It's too difficult."

"Yeah, doing stuff for yourself can be really hard," Fox said. "I totally get it."

'No, you don't."

"You might be surprised.”

“I doubt that.”

“There was a lot of stuff I couldn't do for myself before I met Jin, and Takahiro and his family,” Fox said. “I had to learn so much just to start being a normal independent person. At first, I was scared and stressed out and tired every day, but everything I've done so far has been worth it, even though it was difficult."

"It's different for me," Yuri said.

"Yeah, it is different for you," Fox acknowledged. "I've been learning to do things over the past little while that you've probably been doing independently for years. I'm not asking you to do something crazy like learning pretty much every adult life skill within a few months, like I did. All I'm asking you to do is try feeding yourself, because I know you can."

"Oh... fine, then. But, if I throw up, it's your fault."

To my astonishment, Fox laughed. It was the same kind of laugh I've heard from other adults when a child says something outrageous, and I'd say it was more an indication of indulgence than of amusement. "Yuri, you're not going to throw up."

"How would you know?"

"Just start with one small bite. If you can't do more than that, you can stop. it's okay. Here..."

I attempted to peek around the edge of the door as sneakily as I could. Fox had his back to me, and probably wouldn't have spotted me anyway, but I was trying to avoid Yuri knowing I was there.

I was just in time to see Fox turning the bowl of rice pudding around so the handle of the spoon that was sticking out of it was facing in Yuri's direction. Hesitantly, Yuri reached out and grasped the spoon as Fox held the bowl for him.

"You can do it," Fox encouraged. "One spoonful. If you can manage that and you decide you want more, I'll feed you the rest, but we're going to keep working on this at every meal from now on until you're doing it all by yourself."

Yuri's expression was an awful combination of fear and lingering irritation, but I was gratified to see him lift the spoon with some pink-tinted rice on it. And then he put it in his mouth, and for one dreadful moment I thought he really might get sick. Most of the colour drained from his face, and he stared at Fox, wide-eyed.

"Take the spoon out of your mouth, Yuri," Fox said gently, and when Yuri did as he asked, he followed up with, "Good. Now, you can swallow."

It was weird, observing that. I'd never heard anyone explain something as simple and instinctual as eating in step-by-step instructions before. Then again, perhaps Yuri had somehow unlearned that instinct and needed to be told what to do.

He's mentioned to me before that he often doesn't want to eat and only consumes food because he has to. He says he doesn’t like eating most foods, not necessarily because he dislikes the taste or texture of the food, but because he’s hyper-focused on every little detail involved in eating, and he gets overwhelmed. I guess it’s like, he could get so fixated on chewing that he’d forget to swallow, and then suddenly swallow in a panic, and then panic even more when he realizes he didn’t consciously decide whether he should swallow or not.

I don’t know, really. I’m certain Yuri could explain it better himself, but that’s basically how I understand it from what he described. And considering his history of anxiety as well as severe digestive system issues, maybe it shouldn't be too surprising.

As for Fox, I was impressed that not only was he able to break down the process for Yuri, but also that he'd recognized the need for it. It made me wonder if someone had needed to explain a basic skill to him in a similar way in the past.

"That was awesome. I knew you could do it," he said, once Yuri returned the spoon to the bowl. "How do you feel? Is your stomach okay?"

"It's fine," Yuri said. His tone was grudging, like he didn't want to admit that feeding himself one spoonful of strawberry-flavoured sweet rice wasn't actually going to be the death of him.

"Think you can do it again?" Fox inquired.

"If I have to."

"You don't have to, but I'd like you to."

Yuri sighed. "Very well."

Two spoonfuls later, I could see how much of a psychological and physical toll the effort had taken. To anyone unfamiliar with the situation it probably looks like he's playing up for attention whenever he wants someone to feed him, but I can tell you in all honesty, it's not like that. The strain that showed in all his body language was real. He gets that way when he's being fed by someone too, but not nearly as quickly and nowhere near as pronounced.

I could see his hand shaking as he gripped the spoon. He was visibly sweating, and his skin had that pale, washed-out appearance some people get when they're about to faint.

I was concerned enough that I almost stepped back into the room, but fortunately, Fox was perceptive enough to see what I saw and to understand what it meant. He said to Yuri, "Give me the spoon."

Yuri didn't so much hand it to him as push it in his general direction. Fox placed everything on the bedside table, and then helped Yuri settle back on his pillows.

"You did great," Fox told him. He brushed his hand over Yuri’s forehead. It looked like he was checking his temperature, but it was more likely that he was wiping some of the moisture off his face.

I was a little amazed that Yuri didn’t flinch away from Fox’s touch. He asked shakily, “Can… can I have some water, please?”

Fox handed his water bottle to him, and he took a couple of sips before passing it back.

“Done?” Fox inquired.

Yuri nodded. “Done.”

“Everything all right? Is your stomach still okay?"

"Yes, my stomach is all right for now, but I'm tired," Yuri said. "I need to sleep.”

"Understandable," Fox didn't point out that he'd only been awake for an hour or so. He simply acknowledged that Yuri knew best whether he needed more rest or not. "That was an amazing effort. I know it was a lot, but you did really good. I didn't even have to tell you to take that last spoonful."

"It’s good. The rice."

That admission was spoken so quietly that I almost didn't hear it.

"There's more of it left," Fox said. "Victor and I are going to have it for dessert with our lunch, but we'll save some for you. Would you like that?"

"Yes, please."

"You're going to feed yourself at least one spoonful at lunchtime, okay?" It sounded like a request, but I knew it wasn’t.

Yuri didn't reply, so I had no idea if he was agreeing with Fox's new rule, but he didn’t seem to be disagreeing either, which was good. I smiled. It may not have been a victory, exactly, but I felt safe in calling it a step in the right direction at least.

And now we're at the spot where I’m supposed to say some sort of happy ending thing, right? Like how I’m filled with hope or how Fox is a miracle worker or something?

Well, I am hopeful, but I’m not naïve. I don’t think Yuri had some great epiphany or whatever, or that Fox’s wisdom is going to fix everything. Yuri’s got a long way to go, and he’s not going to recover overnight, especially mentally. Disability Is tricky like that. Even when the body is relatively well, the mind can still be troubled. in fact, I’m convinced that the psychological impact of living with a disability can be even more disabling than the illness or disability itself.

What I can say is, I think it’s good for Yuri to have Fox here. It’s good for me as well, and not just for the obvious reasons. Fox doesn’t let Yuri get his way to avoid a confrontation with him, or to alleviate his own discomfort, like I do. As much as I don’t like admitting it, his approach yields better results than mine, even if it starts out a bit rough.

From watching Fox Interact with Yuri, I’ve learned there’s a difference between sympathy and empathy. I let Yuri get away with a lot because I feel bad for him and it’s painful for me to see him suffering, and I just want to make things better for both of us. But, I’m starting to realize that’s not doing either of us much good at the end of the day. He doesn’t need someone to take pity on him. He needs someone to respect how he feels and to try seeing things from his point of view while also showing him safe ways to move forward.

He needs someone to help him get perspective. That’s what my therapist would call it.

After this, I think I should be challenging him more. And I should be challenging myself more, to be firm with him when I need to be, and to recognize when it's okay to give in and when it's not. I need to challenge myself to remember that the easiest way isn't always the best way, and sometimes there has to be a little pain in order to make progress.

so i saw you were bored. and i have some fun gossip that i dealt with earlier this months. I recently changed friend groups bc my old one fell apart and so its me and like 7 other girls and save some drama we were mostly fine. anyways, there's this guy who I really liked and he was a horrible person to have a crush on bc he's just like not a good person and doesn'tmake good decisions, but for some reason I did, and I told my friends abt him and one of them knew him bc the 3 of us were close this year. I knew he didn't like me, because he has a girlfriend. and at that point im like i can get over him but we're still going to be friends and it was good. but then my friend, (call her e), started snapping him. and im like okay she wont do anything. WRONG. i get a text from him the day after my exams and was like yo e is trying to hook up with me. and this is the fun part, she knew i still liked him bc we talked about it over the weekend, AND while he never told her he had a gf (bad decision ik on his part) she knew from me that he had one. and i was livid and she was also sending him compromising photos?? so anyways i was pissed off and she was saying in this chat how shes so nice and yadda yadda and i was so pissed and im like e be so fr you're trying to get with the guy i like. and left the chat. not the best decision but whatever. and so she had the AUDACITY TO GO AND TELL F (the guy i liked) THAT I WAS UPSET THEY WERE TALKING. and so i had to text him explain the situation and be like yeah i like you. WHICH WAS HORRIBLE. and meanwhile shes trying to convince me that she did it all for me and maybe she was but it went HORRIBLY wrong. and shes like i would never do that to you and im like girl wtf. and i have texts between her and our one friend and shes like yea F is so hot i really want him and my friend was like back off and shes like yeah ik but its okay bc she knows he doesn't like her. THAT WAS HER JUSTIFICATION. i swear. anyways she ruined my friendship with that guy and i lwk am so tired of her bc shes like crazy for that and has no respect bc apparently this isn't the first time shes done smth like that. so yeah, i've barely talked to her and thats that.

That was so telenovela...

Girl, if I was you, I would've punched her already. Like, what the hell? She knew you liked the guy! Ugh-no! I just can't-! AND THE FACT SHE TOLD HIM! AND THAT'S NOT A JUSTIFICATION! She shouldn't even have one, that's just not justificable. Yeah, absolutely not.

Glad you kept your distance, don't even look or talk at her, you by your side, she by hers. That's it. Anywho- Take care, anon.

Recovery (pt. 1)

"Oi! Oi, kid! You okay?"

The Young boy could only groan as he felt someone nudge his side. He wanted to stand up, to yell at them to leave him alone, to ask them how they bypassed Sebastian- but the pain shooting along his back kept him in a fetal position on the ground.

Concrete, he figured as his fingers slid over the hard surface. Had he been kidnapped again? By whom? He heard the stranger sigh.

"Jesus Christ, kid. Ya' got me worried there for a sec. If ya wouldn't have started breathin' again well...I don't know wha' I would've done.." he said with a thick accent that was irritating to his ears, and he wished he could open his eyes just so he could roll them.

"I'm fine..." he said, trying to sound confident, yet his voice barely came out as a whisper. He could now feel the stranger's breath against his face.

"Yeah, sorry if I don't believe that..." he chuckled, before coughing a few times. His breath smelled like cigarettes and his shirt smelled of sweat. Ciel felt like throwing up as he was pressed again it as he picked him up.

"Where are we going..." He croaked. He hated this. He hated the feeling of this man's hands on him, they were warm and clammy. What was he thinking, carrying him like this? Did he enjoy it? Did he feel powerful? To have him be so at the mercy of a stranger, unable to move or escape, unable to stop whatever he might do-

"FUCKIN' HELL-" the man exclaimed, looking at his vomit covered chest, "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT UH...."

He looked around frantically, unsure of what to do, before his eyes set on a shop nearby and his legs moved before he could think it through. "Okay, alright, don't ya worry, shit happens..."

The ring of the front door alerted one of the usually bored workers at the little clothing store, who's face suddenly contorted into one of panic when she saw the boy being sat on one of their chairs.

The man's eyes met with hers and without a word being spoken, she went to fetch a wet cloth and a glass of water, as the stranger continued to try and reassure the young Earl.

Ciel simply sat, drowning out his meaningless words as he tried to figure out how he got here. This didn't feel like London. It felt warmer here, quieter too. Was he in another part of england? Or somewhere else entirely? And who would've taken him just to leave him on the street?

He almost didn't feel it as the lady wiped his mouth clean, but he did take notice of the cold water hitting his tongue. His arms hurt with every little movement but they still shot up to hold onto the glass like his life depended on it. It felt good, focusing on how it slowly slid down his throat, instead of the dull pain that had overtaken him.

He didn't say thank you when it was empty, though he did feel greatful. The man and the store clerk seemed happy enough though, and started to chat a little farther away from him about what to do now.

Lights have a sound here, Ciel noticed. It was easier to focus on the sound with his eyes closed. Did light always have this buzzing accompanying it? And it was so bright, too. Not like the soft candles that lit up a ballroom, but a piercing blue that managed to shine even through his eyelids.

He made his first attempt to open his eyes now, both eyes, as his eyepatch seemingly got lost along with his butler.

But before he could make out anything, the two strangers were once again in front of him, now talking in that high and gentle voice he'd always despised hearing. The kind adults would use only to talk to small childrem or an injured animal. Like they were afraid of scaring him.

If only they knew the monsters he'd seen. They would be the one's to quiver, the ones who'd need comforting.

"-you have a mommy or a daddy? Do they know where you are?"

"Look at 'im! He ain't in a position to chat! Listen kid, we're gonna call some folks and they're gonna take good care of ya' okay?"

"Who do you want to call? Child protective services? We don't know what happened, maybe he ran away! Maybe his parents are searching for him right now!"

"Well what the hell do ya want me to do?! He's a kid, he's injured, and he obviously can't tell us more! Ya wanna just leave him like this?!"

Quiet

He just...he just needed them to be quiet.

He just needed them to be gone.

Without a word, he bolted past the two adults, his numb legs almost giving out on him, but somehow he managed to make it out. His breath heavy and unable to catch, he slumped back against a nearby building hoping they'll look elsewhere.

"...bastian..." he whispered, squeezing his eyes shut. He couldn't stop his body from shaking. Why couldn't he stop his body from shaking?

"Sebastian...!" he tried to yell, though it sounded more desperate than demanding.

"Sebastian... Sebastian, come back! That's an order! That..." he choked on his words, trying to stop the tears that were now flowing out uncontrollably.

How dare he, that bastard. They had a contract! He was to protect him, no matter what. He was to respond to the orders he gives him.

He waited there. For his butler, for anyone to come and get him. And if it was that horrible viscount, or that damn reaper. Anyone.

"Eh... Hi there! Do you...c-can I help you?"

I saw on your twitter that you finished gåsmamman and i need to know your thoughts about the finale! i was so....that was it?? like i needed at least one more episode after it lol, i get that it's supposed to be kind of an ambiguous ending but i didn't feel satisfied u know

hi!!!

while i enjoyed the finale a lot, i definitely do not feel entirely satisfied with it as a complete ending for 6 seasons – like we didn't even get the chance to breathe with the final shot before the gåsmamman logo came up! given what happens to sonja and lukas, i get that it's supposed to be abrupt but i would've loved a little bit more afterwards to process it all. i would've loved to see the other characters process it, even just time spent longer on the reactions of their faces... it was like, boom (lol) this whole huge moment happens and then it goes to linus for 0.2 seconds and then THE END and i'm there triple checking the google drive like, is that it? just a little bit more would've been great – something to allow the audience to sit with it for a beat before being jerked away.

major spoilers under cut for the last few eps of gåsmamman so be warned! just want to talk about an aspect in greater detail.

i guess the one thing about the finale that continues to stump me is the decision to have zac trade linus in – i just find it hard to believe that he would've done that to nina, given how much she loves and cares for her younger brother and how he's looked after him for years, i don't feel like she would've ever forgiven him had she found that out? like, how did he think he would get away with that? i know that he was desperate and trying to protect their son and nina and the whole point of the show is people doing desperate insane things to protect their family – it just felt like a little bit of a character assassination, because zac surely had to have known that linus was always going to be in physical danger with that deal – he'd spent long enough in that world to know that "you promised not to hurt him" was empty. i guess you can argue that he was just blindsided by his need to protect his family, but it just makes me a little frustrated.

i know that sonja killing him was a way for them to show that she had ultimately turned into anders (eg: him killing his own daughter's husband, fredrik and therefore irredeemable), but i do wish the truth of the situation had come to light in that last moment w sonja and the kids when linus exposes it to nina, because i feel like sonja's reasoning is a lot more justified than anders' was – like, i would kill someone too if they'd handed linus willingly over to someone to get tortured. i don't think sonja would've ever been able to come back from killing zac – especially not in her family's eyes – but i also think zac never would've been able to come back from it either had he stayed alive.

all in all i loved the show. it was dramatic and heightened and ridiculous at times, but i found myself really caring about the characters – the performances were all pretty impressive too. and ultimately, i liked the outcome for sonja (and god i am so glad linus' beard and shitty back tattoo from her fantasy of the future was not real cause hell) i just wish the aftermath had been extended ever so –just so we got to properly say goodbye to the characters we've sat with for 6 seasons like, emil's reaction, barry's reaction etc etc. there's only 2 works on ao3 under gåsmamman so i can't even find someone else to satisfy it for me 💔💔

anyways sorry this is super ramble-y but, you asked for it! here to chat about the rest of it whenever!! hope you have a wonderful day.

💜

MIRACULOUS MOVIE

Let's get into it.

Also, a reminder before all of this:

this is my opinion, you are entitled to agree or disagree

Spoilers Ahead

First things first, I enjoyed the movie. Is it the show? Absolutely not, Did it have a few too many songs? yes, but I had a fun time watching it regardless.

I've seen many people put in their opinion as to why the show is better and that it isn't their marinette/adrien. Of course it isn't going to be, this doesn't follow the marinette and adrien we know and love. This is an entirely different storyline with different character archetypes to follow that storyline.

I personally never went with the expectation that I was going to get the exact same characters, so maybe that helped my enjoyment of the movie.

I do personally feel that there were too many songs cause I felt like at some point all I was hearing was songs, which I didn't enjoy as much. However, some songs were good, so it wasn't all bad.

Another thing, I didn't like was how little the side characters were used, and I get why, they had a lot of time constraint. They didn't have the ability to flesh them out because they only had an hour and a half, but I still wish we had seen more of them. THIS INCLUDES PLAGG, JUSTICE FOR HIM

Yes, the movie was a little generic, but I wasn't expecting anything astounding, honestly it did way better than I thought it was going to. So I was pleasantly surprised

One of my biggest complaint with the movie though, and I honestly expected this to happen but still disappointed. The lack of Adrien back story and showing us his life and how he reacted to seeing plagg. It was very Marinette heavy and I felt like there could've been a better balance of that

So, on more things that I felt the movie could've done better, but my biggest complaints are the ones up top:

PLAGG, his characterization felt lazy to me

That gymnastic move she pulled, sure she got confident but that was too much

Could've shown more of Adrien's day to day

Showing us why plagg chose adrien, AGAIN PLAGG/ADRIEN SCREEN TIME

A nitpicky thing, but having Nino almost say he loves Alya

Songs sometimes felt out of place

How fast Adrien forgave his father (could've pondered for a day or two and visited him in prison, would've still been impactful)

I want to know what happened directly after the final fight, I don't mind time skips but I wanted a little bit more closure there

The hint at another movie (the first one was perfectly fine on it's own)

Lack of Gorilla

There was no sneaking out of the house for Adrien, felt like a very chill thing and he could just leave whenever

Plagg and Adrien dynamic more

Not to finish of with a lighter note,

Things that the movie did well:

Marinette doesn't have a stalkerish obsession with Adrien

I liked that not everyone was obsessed with Adrien

Gabriel maybe having more of a heart

Gabriel looking like the butterfly miraculous was having a bad health effect on him

How they showed Emily and the Gabriel backstory

Actually showing more of Marinette's fashion designs

I got the vibe that Adrien was more in a self study type program at the school, but that could just be me. And I liked that, made him still feel slightly isolated while in a school environment

Them actually showing them doing class stuff, even if it was just for Marinette messing up

I liked how they showed the passing of time, given their time constraint

I liked some of the songs, I liked how the first Marinette song after she meets tikki has the same rhythm as the intro song, it was a clear callback and I enjoyed it

How the akumas were done and how the villains were done

I liked that master fu still met marinette

I did like how they animated the powers and just the art in general

I really liked marinette's parents in this

I liked how Natalie actually showing she cares about Adrien

I didn't hate tikki's personality

Ladynoir having a friendship

How clumsy Marinette was in the beginning

Her being clumsy the first time she's ladybug

Chat Noir being way too confident in his abilities

They did a stone monster as the first one (good call back)

Sabrina having a heart and not outing where Marinette was

Chat noir's first song

Hawkmoth's song

Honestly, it just felt like fanfic to me and maybe that's why I enjoyed it but still found it's flaws, everyone has their own opinion and nothing it perfect

Sorry, I don't understand how Kagami dating Adrien was throwing Marinette under the bus. Yes, they were friends, but 1. Kagami was close with Adrien before she was close with Marinette. 2. Why couldn't Marinette and Kagami continue to be friends regardless of her dating Adrien? Isn't there friendship stronger than a boy?

Marinette has no claim on Adrien. So Kagami had nothing to truly betray. And think of it in reverse. Marinette and Kagami become friends and Adrien asks Marinette out. Would you expect Marinette to say "No Adrien, sorry. I am friends with Kagami and Kagami has a crush on you so we can't date." I feel like love square fans everywhere would be angry. And additionally, that's a pretty juvenile way to think imo. If two people love each other, they shouldn't repress that to make an unrequited party happy. The onus is on the rejected one to deal with their emotions and do whatever it takes to be supportive of their friends- even if they keep their distance for a bit.

Take the season finale for example. Ladybug introduces Flairmidable (who she thinks is Adrien) to the team and is clearly fawning over him. She knows Chat Noir is in love with her. Do you think, if they really were two separate people and Flairmidable was Adrien, she wouldn't have started dating him and being swoony around him in front of Chat Noir? Of course she would have. And that's her right. Because two people who want to date each other shouldn't put their happiness aside because a friend has a crush.

I could see is Marinette were actually dating Adrien or even if she'd recently broken up with him. But she merely has a crush on him. Kagami did nothing wrong in this case.

It's not that she dated Adrien, it's THIS MOMENT that will forever drive me insane:

That's not a friend, that's not a friendship. I agree that Kagami can date Adrien if Adrien wants to but Adrien was like "I'm not sure if I'm ready" and she was pushing "when will you be ready?" I get that Adrien should've told her immediately but he kind of did and she still kept on going, she didn't even think about his emotions, if she really did, she would understand that he's not ready. It's like she just wanted to win the battle over him even if he's not 100% happy. And she didn't even feel sorry, she knew what this made Marinette feel like, and Marinette is supposed to be her only friend, and she never said anything to Marinette, she didn't even care to look at her in the end of the episode, she got the prize - you have to break some eggs to make an omelet. And her behaviour around Adrien continues in Lies, she didn't care what Adrien wants, only what she wanted. She is cold. She ignores other people's emotions. We don't even know if she would call Marinette or still hang out with her if Marinette didn't call her in Mr Pigeon 72. And in Glaciator 2 she called Adrien and Marinette weak for having emotions. That's my problem with it. Go do what makes you happy but don't make people who care about you feel bad.

And Ladybug and Flairmidable are similar but NOT the same cuz Ladybug was saying this to Chat Noir and him:

Chat Noir's heart would be broken, she knew it. But she didn't choose one, she chose both. She introduced them to be friends.

Ladybug chose both friendship and love while Kagami could've done the same and she chose not to. Marinette literally stood by and let it happen but she didn't expect Kagami to hurt her so easily when she heard how little she cares about her feelings and Marinette told her she'll "break a lot of hearts" and then:

Her face lights up and then she's back down again. I would never be friends with her ever again if I heard her talking about me like that.

"I don't want to hurt Marinette BUT-"

You already hurt her with this line.

If she really valued Marinette as a friend and didn't want to hurt her she would've chose both, she didn't, cuz she had to make sure she won't get close to Adrien and snatch him right before her. Before Miracle Queen, Marinette chose both Kagami and Adrien, in the same episode she let Adrien go and still wanted to be friends with Kagami, then in Strikeback she chose both Chat Noir and Adrien, Kagami only went for Adrien. It's not the same. I had to rewatch these parts to make sure before I wrote this.

Getting Inside People's Heads

This is an entire conversation me and some of my friends had. I've condensed the multiple messages into one.

MENTIONS OF: Abortion, murder, police brutality, school shootings

"I like to being up moral dilemmas and make them question what they thought they knew." -Me

"You bring up moral dilemmas? Like... ethical conundrums? Is this why you want to go into psychology?" -1 (Psychology student)

"Give me an example." -2

"Killing the Joker from DC. Why shouldn't we?" -Me

"Well, I'm not entirely against it. But to answer your question, theoretically killing the Joker means taking a life, which would make us little better than criminals. Not to mention, the legal and ethical ramifications of doing so... it's not as simple as 'he deserves it.'" -3 (law student friend.)

"Then why not fight against the death penalty?" -Me

"...good point." -2

"That's a different story. The Joker deserves the death penalty for his crimes. No one can argue that without being accused of kinning him. The problem that comes, however, with who is responsible for deciding how he should be punished. The system isn't perfect, but it's better than one person making that decision on their own." - Law Student

"Sounds to me like ur afraid of what would happen if you blew his brains out. You may be a Christian and not want to kill people, but I'm an atheist. So gimme the gun" - Psychology Student

"I got one out back in my shed. Make a portal to DC and let's hunt that son of a bitch!" -2

"In the Dark Knight movie, he kills 23 people. More than 30 died by his orders." -Me

"Hey, (Psychology student), would you actually shoot him in the head?" Law student

"With a smile on my face." -Psychology student

"If anyone were to say that 'you shouldn't be happy in causing pain' ...I bet they'd be singing a different tune if it was someone they cared about who was killed. You'd be out for blood. Emotions are too complex and a messy ordeal" -Me

"You're just saying that because you're a writer." -2

"...no comment." -Me

"It's okay to dislike someone. Even hate them, in some circumstances. But taking pleasure in hurting someone isn't. Even if they're the worst person in the world." -4 (Parental figure who was sleeping)

"Many people have said that they would gladly kill dictators without hesitation. Yet, nobody has tried to change their view points. Hitler, Stalin, Genghis Khan are just some examples. We all know what Hitler and Stalin did. Genghis Khan raped so many women that 16 million people are his descendants." -2

"Okay, I see where you're coming from. But there's a subtle difference between Hitler and the Joker. Hitler was very much a real person, who did a lot of terrible things in real life. In contrast, however, the Joker is...something else." -Parent

"We're talking like we are in the DC universe." -Law

"The Joker is also a real person in this theoretical conversation who has done terrible things in real life. Do you really think that if he got the chance, he wouldn't become a dictator and kill millions of people for his own sick pleasure?" -Me

"Oh." -Parent

"Joker is a real person in this chat right now, and his crimes aren't imaginary. The fact that he hasn't tried to conquer the world (yet) doesn't change that he has hurt others." -Me

"He looks like a Jerry." -2

"STOP SAYING EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE A JERRY!" -Psychology

"I didn't. I said a snake looked like a Judgemental Shoelace." -2

"And this conversation is an example of how I get into people's heads. Before me, you never would've thought about killing the Joker, would you?" -Me

"'No.'" Law and Parent

"Mayhaps." 2

"You do get in people's head. It's kinda scary to be honest. You'd be a good politician." Psychology

"True. I look pretty, have great hair, and am gkod at lying." Me

"Also! Superman could be considered scary. He can literally crush someone's skull in his hand with ease!" Law

"What about Wonder Woman?" Parent

"She's an intriguing character. A descendant of the gods. The gods, if they do still exist, didn't care for mortals in the myths. And how would a woman who was raised thousands of miles away on a hidden island react to modern times? I haven't seen her movie, so I cannot give a definite answer." Me

"WW...is a complex character. I'll give you that." Psychology

"Most beings who use emotions are. And Wonder Woman almost always uses her emotions. I'm not saying thst's a bad thing, considering her moral compass. I'm just saying that with her, her emotions usually triumph over her logic." Me

"You're not exactly wrong... She does use her emotions a lot. Probably more than she should. She's also incredibly compassionate, though. That's a trait that comes partly from emotional thinking. Her compassion for the innocent has let her do some remarkable things." Parent

"Killing for violence and killing for necessity are two very, very different things. Both can be argued in court however." Law

"Can we move on from this discussion? It's getting a little repetitive. Go back to the Joker part." 2

"Killed without hesitation and without mercy." Me

"...Jesus Christ and his mother. That was fast." Parent

"Same." 2

"I mean..." Psychology

"He's responsible for the deaths of over 30 people. I have no blood on my hands (human at least). No sweat off my back." Me

"Why is he irredeemable? He's a bad guy. Like Darkseid." 5 (The youngest who is just getting into DC)

"The bar is set a bit high for that, tiny." Me

"I'm not tiny!" Newbie

"You're 5'0." Law

"He had a therapist and turned her into his sidekick. Harley Quinn eventually left him for Ivy after realizing she deserved better. They're cannon." 2

"I like to study people and topics that people often use to play the devils advocate. It's easy to get in people's geads when the topic is a controversial issue." Me

"Creeeeeeeepyyy." 5

"Shut up. You collect animal skulls. Yku don't have a leg to stand on." Psychology

"Abortion being banned! Go!" Law

"It's a woman's right to get an abortion." Parent

"The woman is the one that carries the child. It's her body, her choice. The government can't tell her what to do with her own body." Me

"Death penalty." Law

"Dead." 2

"Some people don't deserve to live." Me

"No one's life can be fully defined in a black-and-white manner," Parent

"Anyone deserves a chance to prove their worth. People change as they grow and learn, and we should give everyone a chance to prove that they've changed. Plus the death penalty can lead to innocent people being executed." Newbie

"Okay, I'll give you that. I just don't agree with it." Me

"Climate change." Law

"Get rid of the old white men who only want more money than what they know what to do with." Me

"Kill Bezos/Zuckerberg?" 5/2

"I'm actually starting a cult about that." Me

"Bitch, you start a cult about everything." Psychology

"And?" Me

"Gun control." Law

"The Constitution was written back when Britain was truing to take control over the 13 colonies. Majority of people do not deserve to have guns. I'm going to say two words that explain why, are you ready?" Me

"School shootings." 5/2

"Yep." Me

"School shootings are proof that certain people shouldn't own guns. Not even for self defense. Guns make killing incredibly easy." 2

"Yeah. It's a lot harder to kill a room full of people with a knife than it is with an automatic assault rifle." Psychology

"Immigration." Law

"Come into the country legally and I don't give a shit." Me

"Damn." 2

"I agree with that." 5

"All the topics (Law) has brought up are things I agree with. Do something else, (Law)." Me

"Fine. Argue for police brutality. I'm not saying you have to agree with it, and I hope to God that you don't." Law

"Okay... You've seen the videos of the BLM protests, right?" Me

"Obviously." Everyone

"I'm saying that the protesters have turned violent and have looted stores, set fires, destroyed government vehicles, and stolen those vehicles as well." Me

"Why the fuck do you sound like a politician when you argue?" Psychology

"Dunno. Anygays, what I just did was not give you all the information. That's what a lot of news stations do."

"Dumbasses." Law

"The BLM protests start peaceful. It's rhe cops who throw tear gas and threaten the peaceful protesters. It's the 1st Ammendment right to have a peaceful protest. Right, (Law)?"

"Can confirm here." Law

"So, if I'm understanding this right, what you're saying is that the police are a corrupt force who don't respect human rights, and that some of those in the BLM movement have started to act violently and destroy property as a response to this police brutality? But you also believe that police brutality is an issue?" Parent

"That's about it, yeah." Me

"Shit, you're good." 2

"Things aren't black and white. There are so many shades of grey. And it's not just black, white, and grey. Some grey's are lighter and some are darker." Me

"I'm so thankful that you aren't in debate class with me." Law

"No, I'm a lesbian theater nerd. You're safe...for now~"
