The utter relief and appreciation on jimin’s face when hobi/yoongi showed up while he was doing those shows will always get to me🥲 poor baby was literally shaking. I’m so glad hobi was around during face era. Jimin needs a friend like him who would show up to these important moments in his life. Yes the members show their love and support differently but being physically present for a member is how jimin shows his support so obviously when someone does the same for him you could see how appreciative he is. Idk why I’m sending this lol. Anyways I’m sure he would’ve attended if he was free!
Hmmmmmmmm
Points have been made.
This conversation is much nuanced and complex than we are treating it. But let's just keep it simple for now:
We love the way we want to be loved. True- but wouldn't that suppose Jungkook is loving these people the way he wants to be loved too?💀
He is giving less and involving himself less perhaps because he wants less involvement in his life as well????
Recently my gf and I came to the realization that we both have different needs and different understanding of what it means to love and be be loved.
We've been trying to work things out but one thing I uncovered is, a person who's experienced so much control, overprotectiveness and emotional manipulation growing up tends to shy away and view love expressions as smothering attempts to manipulate and control them.
As such, they value independence in relationship, less emotional involvement and freedom to do as they please and to them that would be fulfilling.
While, persons like me who experienced parental neglect and abandonment growing up crave nothing but closeness and perhaps excessive emotional intimacy.
Thus I value communication more than anything, I value emotional closeness, consistency, transparency stability and assurance I won't be abandoned.
We are all aying out our traumas and trying to heal them in ways we've come to understand as love requirements.
To the person who's controlled and overproted all his life love feels like setting them free, allowing them to be their own persons, not telling them what to do with their lives, respecting their space and privacy. They understand this as love because it's all they craved and told themselves one who loves them would do for them.
Others think the opposite- if you love me you won't want to stay so far away, you will be close, you won't neglect me.
We all have different emotional needs. Each of which is valid.
Jimin and Jungkook have unique emotional needs. It doesn't make one an asshole and the other a victim.
Jimin may be construing his acts of showing up for people, being loyal, and expressive as love because sure that's what he might want or need too.
And I know Jungkook loooooves this about him- but I also think it gets too much for him. You can't keep pouring into a cup that's full.
Love is understanding what your partner needs and fulfilling that for them. You don't charge into their lives like a wrecking ball.
And we want good men- Hobi and Jimin do posture as good men.... ideal even.
It would be so easy to ship them if they had the hots for eachother no?
I think Hobi is equally hot 🥵
We sleep on him in this Fandom
Physical support breeds a sense of security and safety .
Unfortunately if that is not your love language it might mean absolutely nothing to you.
Perhaps let's pay more attention to the way Jimin feels loved by Jungkook rather than the ways we think he ought to be loved.
Cos Jimin must be a real masochist to keep Jungkook on a pedestal if that man is nothing but shitty towards him. I mean how damaged is that!

tony stark ;) and
susan storm
my followers r terrible SMH!!!
1: sexuality headcanon - UGH i have to admit he does have a gay little thing going on but i also think he would call reed a slur at least once as a "joke" that doesn't land in like uni and he sends an apology email four days later after reed ghosts him.
2: otp - tonyemma. fuck you. altho. i'll admit. i obviously haven't read loads and i don't want to but him and madame masque were kinda sweet in some random ass issues i read.
3: brotp - rhodey i guess, they're fun.
4: notp - tonyjan i guess i don't know i just find this relationship genuinely so boring . also tonypatsy get patsy OUT OF THERE!!!
5: first headcanon that pops into my head - i'm not sharing that for legal reasons.
6: favorite line from this character - uhhhhhhhhhhhh "you're america's kooky science uncle" to reed
7: one way in which I relate to this character - janet van dyne appreciator i guess. although he does it in the wrong way.
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - the fact that he was played by rdj?????
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - anti-blorbo. hatred. violence. rage. his facial hair is stupid.
sue!!
1: sexuality headcanon - bisexual
2: otp - reedsue obviously BUT. sue/medusa #always...... sue/storm.... sue/jennifer cute...... sue/janet...... many possibilities but i am accepting of all!!!
3: brotp - sue and ben is a really cute dynamic!!! they're buddies they care abt each other they're hanging out it's a vibe! and sue and johnny :)))
4: notp - suenamor.
5: first headcanon that pops into my head - i think she's a bit of a trekkie and has gone as janice rand once or twice on halloween!!
6: favorite line from this character - i love the exchange of "do you really think i'm the most powerful?" "as long as i can still be the smartest" exchange between reed and sue from season one which is objectively a bad comic but thats #MY power couple.
7: one way in which I relate to this character - HMMMMMMMM i'm not actually sure i don't think i have that much in common with sue. i guess both transfixed by reed's autistic swag.
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - that four boob window costume...... it's deeply fucking stupid but the costume that came after was actually really hot so.
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - problematic fave i guess considering how determined a certain breed of x-men fan is to make her homophobic. if she wants to commit a mutantphobic hate crime i'll let her.

I think another trope in otome games that doesn't get talked about enough is the age gap romances with teenage heroines and adult love interests/ vice versa. The former moreso since it happens more often. I remember some people would try to excuse it when the setting is an older time period because "it was like that during those times" which A) that doesn't make it okay in the slightest, and B) they're fantasies anyways, their only gonna appeal to the creeps who find that hot or whatever. I don't mind large age gaps between adults (aka, what DoubleScore, Bad Medicine, and Variable Barricade should've been) but I cross the line at a teenager and adult being in a relationship. Same goes for relationships between non blood-related siblings, they are still siblings because they were raised by the same people and have an established familial relationship. I barely see otome game reviewers talk about those tropes for some reason, and they just ignore bringing them up altogether.
I feel like the issue is just that the heroine being the only one allowed to have romance in her life (the best friend can get some but they're nameless nobodies so nobody get jealous of her) make it that she have to be... Well herself but to attract the attention to a large panel of guys including those who want older ones.
As a result you get heroines dating their teachers. I don't think it's particularly because of the age gap but more about the attempt to satisfy a lot of players at once.
The solution to that would be that when games do have more than one heroine the second would be an adult to give you access to the adults. And also for me, another adult heroine who look like ones is always good to take.
But as far as I know otome game seem to have more variety when it come to set up.
For the incest it's just... The game really sell you their relationship as being siblings at first so it's normal that the heroine see the guy as her sibling and then we are supposed to believe that just because they aren't actually siblings him secretly loving her wasn't weird and her falling for him is natural (Hey Lindo that's about you!)
Well. It's not. That's just not believable to me really.
But again we both take the heroine as a character not a self insert there just to be a vessel so we live our fantasies of either having older sexy men onto us or a devoted guy you know since forever being your real love all along because it's how we are supposed to perceive it
As someone who value a lot family relationship it's just not something I can ever transpose into romance and for the older men me wanting anime female characters who look like adult make it that by design I will cringe at the vision of a high schooler with her teacher even though I like him.
You do have the teacher route in tmgs too but now like Dengeki Daisy and Takane to Hana that I used to not have issues with, the fact that I have the old of the teacher make it that I am like hmmmmmmmm... Welp
As why people don't criticize it I feel like it's just because it's accepted as fantasies and you know I feel like in general stuff in our media aren't criticized by fear maybe to show to people who belittle it on the basis that it's for women that yeah actually it's trash while it's just that the fantasies are different?
I feel like in general there's this idea of not criticizing anything feminine else it's against the feminine you are, not the issues within the story.
And also maybe these reviewer just don't want to bother with a possible controversy thinking more deeply about some aspect of the game they played.
I just feel like it's not as simple when you consider how otome game is perceived, so I guess players of it just don't want to hear more slander when the people they know will look at them weirdly for playing dating simulator.

Familiar Face part 2
Part 2 lets go!.
Harumo:Why do you......Look like me?.
Reitan: Thats my question to you, who the hell are you? and why do you look exactly like me, well except the hair color, ...how much to do weight?
Harumo: What?! my weight? uhm...
Ryota: Harumo.. are.you.....okay?.....
Moritaka: Oh my lord! he looks exactly like you Harumo!
Reitan: Yeah yeah, i look like him and whatever ,also who the hell is this cutie right here.
The chubby look alike points at Ryota with there tongue sticking out.
Ryota: Wha-- ME?!
Harumo: OH NO No no! there, you’re not touching Ryota like that!
Reitan: Pst, what, you got a crush on him or something?
Ryota: C-Crush?!, {blushes} w-what made you say that?!
Harumo: As a matter of fact, i kissed Ryota, so there....hmph
Moritaka: What?!, Ryota, you two have k-kissed ?!
Ryota: [Blushes} It was the only way to defeat the exception back then!
Ryota”s face turned Red, out of sheer embarassment, due to the fact, he remembers the way he felt, when he kissed the LUCKY BASTARD!.
Harumo: We kissed each other lips to lips.
Moritaka: L-lips?! to lips!
Reitan: Woowwww, well this is getting awkward.
After an awkward conversation about Kiss, Lips, and then crushes, One transient appears to be running away as he has recovered from the chubby look alike’s attack.
Moritaka: Comrades, the robber is getting away!
He points to the robber transient, Due to the force that launch the robber about 10 meters away, he was already heading towards the exit of the park,
Harumo: After him !
Robber: Hahahah, hey, takes for that moron! .. hahaha
Reitan: tsk..
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ebisu: I Don’t think so,
Harumo: Ebisu?
Ebisu: Back casting on a big one ! and........ FIIIIIIISHHHHHH!
Out of nowhere,The chubby pink haired was riding his fish cusion and floating in mid air with his fishing rod, whom is his sacred artifact. He begins back casting his rod and casts towards the robber’s clothes, According to his Role and Rule, his fishing line will always hook its target.
Ebisu: Haha got you now !,
Robber: What the- ahhhh!
Ebisu: Harumo now !
Harumo: Got it !
While Ebisu is dragging the robber towards you, you jumped on top of him to subdue him, However, it seems like the robber is not ready to give up, as he struggles to get rid of you on top of him,
Ryota: Don’t worry Harumo !, get ready for the famous
RYOTA SQUASH!
The chubby orange haired one jumped on top of you to increase the weight the robber has to bare. however.
Harumo: Sandwich time ! ....ow
Ryota: Sorry Harumo...
Robber: What the heck,! what are these kids eating!
He stills struggles to get free from the immense weight, but
Moritaka: Look !, its the police !
The police follwed by
Tajikarao: Hold, in the name of ju-...oh it seems you have captured the robber.
Harumo: Hi Tajikarao!, looking good in those tights !
Tajikarao: Thank you Harumo, now, its time to do our jobs,...Men, cuff this robber immediately
Cops: Yes Sir !
The Cops cuff the robber and took him away, A round of applause burst around you, as sign of recognizing the brave deed you and your friends did,
Ryota: Wow, i didn’t realize I’ll get applauded for this.
Moritaka: There’s nothing to be shamed about Ryota, Both of you did a brave deed, and that is something to be honoured for.
Ebisu: Are you guys okay?
Harumo: Yep, all good here.
Ryota: That was amazing Ebisu !, who knew your fishing line could go that far.
Ebisu: Hahaha, the perks of being a fisherman i suppose.
Tajikarao: Ahem, All of you did a fine job citizens, Thank you for your bravey in catching a dangerous criminal.
Harumo: Just do what we have to do.
Tajikarao: Well then, I’ll best be off, i have to escort him to the station, Until then, until then Brave Citizens !
Ryota: Are you okay Harumo?, Did i squish you too hard?
Harumo: Hmmm,, i think so,,,but not really hurt.
Ryota: Thank goodness.
Reitan: Ohhhh, what a caring boyfriend.
Ryota:b-b-{Blushes}...BOYFRIEND!
Only a single word, the orange haired chubby student, panics in embarrasment and freaks out, even though he feels a much more deeper connection to Harumo, though he denies it, it only reinforce Reitan’s idea. Also Ryota’s face red as a tomato,and blushing so noticeable you might assume he had a fever.
Ryota: I-I-I M ,,NOT!
Harumo: Hmmmmmmmm
Ryota: ....Harumo.... y-
Moritaka: That was superb teamwork you three!
Ebisu: Thanks, Moritaka.
Moritaka: Ebisu, that was incredible fishing you just did.
Ryota:......{What am i to Harumo?}
Thoughts of doubt,Thoughts of his role to them, stirred in his mind, as to what he is to him, what is he to him?, He remembers back to the time, his savior only just appeared in Shinjuku Central Park.
{3 months ago}
The moon litted the dark sky can be seen on the soft,green patch of grass, the wind blowing sofly as it grazes an orange-haired student, sitting on it, with a thought in his mind, as he stares infront of the river, only to be distracted by a sudden fish’s jump out of the water.
Ryota:........*Sigh*
Beside him is an assortment of chocolate,lollipops and candy, wrapped in a plastic bag he bought from the nearby convinient store,...He takes a lollipop and puts it in his mouth savoring and absorbing the juicy flavors of blueberries mixed with strawberries.
Ryota: MMMHHHMMMM!,
While savoring the lollipop,he goes back into staring the clear blue waters of the lake infront him, While reminiscing a certain friend of his,
{???}
???: Hey Ryota! lets go to the lollipop store, i heard they have a new type of flavor in the menu!
Ryota: Really!? but...{Checks wallet}...Oh no!,.... i totally spent it all on that new manga i wanted!,,, Sorry, looks like i can’t
???: Hahah!, Don’t worry, its my treat!, i just want to hang out with you.
Ryota: ....you want..to hang out with me?
???: Yeah, we’re friends aren’t we?
Ryota: Y-Yeah we are! , thanks!
???: Now lets go!
{end of reminiscing}
Ryota:......*sobs* why...
.
.
Reminiscing about a certain friend, only reminded him, the pain he felt, from the day his beloved friend moved away.
Ryota: *sobs*
{Phone rings}
Ryota: *Gasp in surprise*
He wipes off his tears and hurried checks on his phone to see, someone very angry is calling him.
Ryota: H-Hello-
Shiro: RYOTA YAKUSHIMARU!, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU! ITS ALREADY PAST CURFEW AND YOU AREN’T HERE!
Kengo: Yo nerd!, tone it down a little would ya!
Ryota: S-SORRY! Shiro, i was just buying some treats because i ran out!, but I’ll be on my way soon, !
Shiro: You better!, because we are going to have a long taik when you get here!
{Call ended}
Ryota:....Eeeppp!, Shiro is so scary when he’s mad, i better run now, before he blows a fuse.!
As he hurriedly picked up his bag of treats, and runs off to the nearby exit,
.
.
Oni: RAAAAAAGHHHH!!, HUMAN FLESH!
Ryota: Eeeepp!, an Oni?!, here in night?
Oni: Human Flesh!, Tasty!....RARRRRGGGHHH!!
Ryota: AHHHHHHH!!!....
Panic and scared the orange haired run off to safety,however its enefective against an Oni’s high jumping power as he leaps from tree to the next tree and lands infront of him, roaring to him as he has found his meal to satisfy his hunger..
Ryota: Ahhh....ahh.. come on....I got it!
As a defense mechanism, he throws his treats at him while crying, because he just bought it with his allowance,
Ryota: Here! take it all you big lug!
Oni: Rarrrggghhhhh! Hmmmmm...
Interested in the treats thrown at him, that created the opening Ryota needs to run away, while the Oni tries the sweets and chocolates he got.
Ryota: Ahh.....ah........ahhhhh....*gasping for air*
Meanwhile the Oni tries one of the chocolates he thrown, and...
.
.
.
Oni: MMMMMHMMMM.....PLAAAA!....NOT GOODDDDDDD!...HUMAN FLESH! WANT!!
As he lets out a loud roar, Ryota runs off to the nearby exit as his treats have slowed the Oni long enough for him to escape,
Ryota: All right!, there it is!.......What the?!---
Harumo: Huh?!-oooffff
Not paying attention, another uniform wearing chubby crashed with the orange haired one and both fell down.
Harumo: Ahhh....hey....are you okay?
Because of the impact, Ryota nearly fell into unconciousness, and slowly opens his eyes to see someone on top of him..
.
.
.
Ryota: K-Keis....uke?
Harumo: Keisuke?....uhm hello?
Ryota: ..H...HUH?!, What....just happened?
Harumo: You bumped into me by accident, sorry, i wasn’t paying attention,...here..
They extend a hand to Ryota,to stand him up.
Harumo: By the way, My name is Harumo...so,,, whats your name?
Ryota: Thanks, for helping me up, im Ryota Yakushimaru!, nice to meet you Harumo!.
Harumo: You’re much more cuter up close!
Ryota: W-What!?,w- why are you saying that all of sudden?!
Harumo: Well, its because you’re cute in all and you’re much more plumper up close, i like that!
Ryota: [BLUSHING} W-W-What?!, ..o-okay, T-Thanks....
Harumo; Why were you running?
Ryota:......Oh yeah! thats right i was running away from the Oni!
Harumo: Oni?, ,,,whats an Oni?
Ryota: Wait, you don’t know?
Harumo: Well, the things is { Explains they’re arrival}
Ryota: I think i get it....Hey, what are you stari-
.
Oni: Raaaaaagggghhhhhhh!
Ryota: Crap!, Its here, lets run!
Harumo: Holy Crap!
Holding your hand, you two run towards the exit, finally out of the Park, however the Oni, doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon,,,as it continues its pursuit for human flesh, as it has spotted to humans to further satisfy his hunger and become more ruthless and ferocios,
Harumo: Why is it chasing us?!
Ryota: I don’t know!, i was just going back home when he showed up all of a sudden and then chased me and i have to sacrifice my precious snacks for it, AHHHHHHHH!
Harumo: Ryota!
Due to the panicked running,Ryota failed to notice a rock on the way and slipped causing you two to fall down again, while the Oni is already behind you
Oni: Two Humans!, More Food!
Ryota:S-Stay away from them you bad Oni!
Harumo: Ryota...
Oni: [Grabs Ryota}
Ryota: AHHHHH!!
Harumo: Ryota!RRRRRR!!!!LET,, HIM,,GOOOOOOO!!!
{Slash}
Oni: Rarrrrrr!
All of a sudden, a cut like wound is seen on the Oni’s right chest, by a mysterious sword, being wielded by the chubby hero...
Oni: What?!, you’re a sacred artifact holder?
Harumo: So this must be what LIl Salomon was taiking about earlier.....All right..DON’T YOU DARE HURT MY FRIEND!
Ryota: H-Har--umo....{Sleeps}
A fierce battle folds, normally someone with zero combat experience will definitely die in a second against an Oni, however you move as if you have already know where to move,its as if your body is moving via muscle memory, you slash him with all your might, but your attack was blocked by his massive club,feeling an electric shock feeling from hitting his club with all your might, you stumbed a little giving the Oni and opportunity to hit you hard
Harumo: Oh no!,,,Thaaaarrrgghh!
.Hitted on the side of your body, you felt shortness of breath as you were launch to the side by the impact,
.Harumo: Crap!, Aaaahhhh!, ,,,
.Oni: Raarrrrrgghhhh!
.Preparing the final blow,as he raised his club up high to strike you down with unimaginable force, it leaves him wide open, and then..
.Harumo: Boundless Tail!
Oni: Rarrrrr!
[End of battle}
Ryota:....
Harumo: Ryota!, Ryota wake up ! c’mon Ryota please wake up!
Ryota: ahhh......ahhh..
The unconcious fellow slowly regains conciousness as he hears the plea from the one who saved him, but as he looks at them..
Ryota:Kei-Keisuke?
Harumo: Keisuke?,, no its Harumo, Ryota,
Ryota: Huh?, Harumo?, wha-what happened?, where is the Oni? and did you fought him with a sword!
Harumo: Hahaha!, Yeah, i won and he won’t be bothering us anymore!
Ryota: Really?! Oh, Thank you so much Harumo, you’re a lifesaver!
Ryota hugged Harumo out of gratitude and kindness.
Harumo: Are you okay?, you’re aren’t hurt are you?
Ryota: Im okay,! I just fell asleep! also.. Can i ask you something?
Harumo: What is it?
Ryota:... W-Why didn't you runned away, you could have saved yourself, so..
Harumo: Because i couldn't let the thought of saving you out of my mind.. And.. You're my friend..
.
.
.

AAKHRI FUCKING PHERAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
god knows what she threw in the fire but as the song goes..........
sis poori taiyyaari ke saath aayi hai. had tucked in one of her 3000 zeher ki sheeshis into her lehenga/kafan. taking a shot like she’s at her bff’s bachelorette party.
aaaaaaaaaaaaand.........................
“the fuck is going on in this house?????”

Way of Kings Reread
This is my post Rhythm of War reread so if you don’t want spoilers for Rhythm of War then come back later. These are essentially just the notes I took during this read through so things like “Szeth is darkeyed” isn’t really stellar commentary but there are a few interesting things in here. Also this reread was like…very sporadic so I probably missed things.
“A man with a long grey and black beard slumped in the doorway, smiling foolishly—though whether from wine or a weak mind, Szeth could not tell.
‘Have you seen me?’ the man asked with slurred speech. He laughed then began to speak in gibberish, reaching for a wineskin.”—Page 23
Oh god, it’s Jezrien. Nooooo.
I’m curious to see how Humans being voidbringers plays into Szeth’s punishment.
“Occasionally, light would flash without the thunder. The slaves would groan in terror at this, thinking about the Stormfather, the shades of the Lost Radiants, or the Voidbringers—all of which were said to haunt the most violent highstorms.”
Interesting that they’re called the “shades”, perhaps referring to cognitive shadows?
“Talenelat’Elin, bearer of all agonies.”
Wait…do people know about Taln?
“This room is called the Veil…That which comes before the Palanaeum itself. Both were here when the city was founded. Some think these chambers might have been cut by the Dawnsingers themselves.”
First of all, Veil, haha. Second, interesting bit of lore.
“Thaylens had their own systems of rank.”
I’d like to know what it is.
It’s very interesting that philosophy and history are feminine arts and yet the merchant is still trying to sell Shallan on a romance novel
I wonder if Yalb still has his drawing. It was probably ruined so that sucks.
“There, she used all her remaining sphere to fill of all nine colors and all three sizes.”
Hmmmmmmmm. Nine and three. Interesting
“Then he’d have someone to talk to in Damnation. They could reminisce about how terrible Bridge Four had been, and agree that eternal fires were much more pleasant.”
K…Kaladin please don’t joke about that.
“His ways were odd—though Lirin made certain that his son didn’t mix up the Heralds and the Lost Radiants, Kal had heard his father say that he thought the Voidbringers weren’t real. Ridiculous.”
RIP
“He reached the base of the slop, wind-driven rain pelting his face as if trying to shove him back toward the camp.”
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
“She looked exhausted. ‘These things are heavy!’ She lifted the leaf. ‘I brought it for you!’”
I love her so much I could cry.
Szeth is a dark eyed.
We need to get the void sphere back.
“It was fairly ordinary, a simple piece of rock with a few quartz crystals set into it and a rusty vein of iron on one side.”
Iron.
“‘Today,’ King Elhokar announced, riding beneath the bright open sky, ‘is an excellent day to slay a god. Wouldn’t you say’”
Owwwwwwwwww my heart
“One might say that gods, as a rule, should fear the Althei nobility. Most of us at least.”
Y’know…Sadeas has a point
Actually they should probably fear Taravangian.
Sadeas wears red plate. I always imagine him in green.
Shardplate is naturally slate gray. I wonder if it’s the same color as what your limbs go if they’re cut by a shardblade. Hmmmm.
“Adolin found himself wishing, passionately, that his father would do a little more these days to live up to that reputation.”
Adolin, sweet pie, NO
I miss Elhokar so much
Also the Thrill of Contest, that’s interesting.
“I felt like a youth again, chasing after your father on some ridiculous challenge.”
Dalinar, we all know that it was Gavilar chasing you
“There was someone watching me in the darkness that night.”
My poor baby…
“‘I defy you, creature!’ Elhokar screamed. ‘I claim your life! They will see their gods crushed, just as they will see their king dead at my feet! I defy you!’”
Elhokar…
“Adolin—stalwart as always—had dismounted beside the king. He tried to stop the claws, striking at them as they fell. Unfortunately, there were four claws and only one of Adolin.”
Hmmmm, Adolin v 4 is becoming a pattern.
“Dalinar should have been there to defend him. Only two things remained of his beloved brother, two things that Dalinar could protect in a hope to earn some form of redemption: Gavilar’s kingdom and Gavilar’s son.”
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“Let me first assure you that the element is quite safe. I have found a good home for it. I protect its safety like I protect my own skin, you might say.”
It has been ten years and I still have no idea what this means.
“Kaladin punched Moash right in the gut, where he knew it would wind him. Moash gasped in shock, doubling over, and Kaladin stepped forward to grab him by the legs, slinging Moash over his shoulder.”
Ahhhhh I could read this paragraph over and over again.
“He worked himself ragged. In fact, he felt close to collapsing several times, but every time he did, he found a reserve of strength from somewhere.”
I wonder where.
“Rockbuds had opened nearby, their vines reaching out to lap up the beast’s blood.”
Gross.
Insult his son and the Blackthorn will peek through
“I had…things to be about.”
I don’t like the way Wit said that.
“You going to do Alethkar a favor and rid it of both of us?”
That is a very interesting line for Wit to say…Also concerning. Wit what are you up to?
It’s very interesting that without Sadeas and Gavilar, Dalinar has to learn how to be a politician. It’s clear that both men maneuver others while Dalinar is blunt force. Good character development, I really love it as a political scientist.
“Brother, follow the Codes tonight. There is something strange upon the winds.”
Hmmmmmmmmm, I think Gavilar was planning his death.
“We’d protect Gavilar’s son. No matter what the cost, no matter what other things came between us, we would protect Elhokar.”
…Would…Elhokar have died if Sadeas was still alive?
“The book was used by the Radiants as a kind of guidebook, a book of counsel on how to live their lives.”
That…something that I forgot. Dalinar maybe you should have some required reading in your Radiant generation.
It’s interesting that Shardplate and Rsyhadium have no problem with humans using them but shardblades do.
“Dalinar was shocked that he could remember the story word for word,”
Hmmmmmm
“Could he train himself out of freezing in battle like that?”
End me.
“You sure he’s not decayspren wearing a man’s skin?”
S…Syl…is that a problem we have to deal with?
“They break the land itself! They want it, but in their rage they will destroy it. Like the jealous man burns his rich things rather than let them be taken by his enemies! They come!”
The…humans?
“‘Hm,’ he said. ‘Yes. We’ll be getting right to that soon. It’ll be grand. Lots of prancing, sauntering, and er…’
‘Promenading?’ Yis the leatherworker offered.
‘Isn’t that a type of drink?’ Adolin asked.
‘Er, no, Brightlord. I’m fairly certain it’s another word for walking.’
‘Well, then,’ Adolin said. ‘We’ll do plenty of it too. Promenading. I always love a good promenading.’”
He and Shallan are truly made for each other.
“Highprince Aladar has begun to talk of taking a short vacation back to Althekar. I want to know if he’s serious.”
Oh?
It’s very interesting how Gavilar after death is portrayed as having grown weak and yet there’s so much reverence for him.
Three gods, huh?
It’s interesting that Dalinar can feel the thrill in these visions.
“It was a topaz entwined with a heliodor, both set into a fine metal framework, each stone as big as a man’s hand.”
Is that some kind of fabrial? Is she an edgedancer/truthwatcher? She seemed to have Stoneward shardplate. How confusing. I guess she could have borrowed Shardplate.
DABBID MY SON!
“‘Next time it could be you!’ he called. ‘What will you do if you’re the one that needs healing?’
‘I’ll die.’ Moash said, not even bothering to look back. ‘Out on the field, quickly, rather than back here over a week’s time.’”
Oh that would be so unfortunate.
REREADING THIS BOOK WITH THE TEFT SECTIONS OH OHHHHHHHHH BOY SUFFERING. LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE
“I was under the impression that you were going to aid the queen in protecting the king’s interests in Alethkar.”
That is interesting to think about. What would have happened in Navani had stayed in Alethkar? Did the Unmade compel Navani to go? Or would she have been under the influence of the Unmade?
“I have determined that the queen is sufficiently endowed with the requisite skills needed to hold Alethkar.”
Uhhhhhhhhhh
“‘Well, I suppose that’s all right,’ she said. ‘I kind of trust Sadeas.’”
Interesting. Also my son, my love, Elhokar...you are so dumb.
“‘You still argue he isn’t a bad king?’ Navani whispered. ‘My poor, distracted, oblivious boy.’”
HE COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT
Ishar is the herald of luck?
WAIT ROION! TURTLE MAN! My baby!
My god I sometimes forget that Dalinar has no fucking chill and no impulse control.
“The Almighty himself depended on the Alethi to train themselves in honorable battle so that when they died, they could join the Heralds’ army and win back the Tranquiline Halls.”
Is that…Honor’s influence or Odium’s? Or has Odium corrupted this idea? Because judging by Rhythm of War, Odium’s end goal was to raise an army from Roshar and then send them across the Cosmere.
“My sense of honor makes me easy to manipulate.”
Whaaaaaat? You Dalinar. Pffttttt Noooooo. Pfffftttttt.
“‘He is well, though you presence here is sorely missed. I’m certain he could use your counsel. He is relying heavily on Brightness Lalai to act as clerk.’
Perhaps that would make Jasnah return. There was little love lost between herself and Sadeas’s cousin, who was the king’s head scribe in he queen’s absence.”
First, there’s another Sadeas we must deal with besides Sadeas’s nephew that I’m sure will be around in arc 2. Second, interesting wonder where that drama stems from.
“They may be a little too stable. The world is changing outside, but the Shin seem determined to remain the same.”
Hmmmmmmmmmm
“Gavarah hadn’t reached her twentieth Weeping when she proposed the theory of the three realms.”
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA. Lemme hear this theory, my dude.
“He reminds me of my uncle Dalinar. Earnest, sincere, concerned.” “We could do with more men like Taravangian,”
I…mmm….aw man…I…that’ll be a yikes for me.
“He found a half-finished bridge. It had eventually grown out of that one plank Kaladin had used.”
ASODFKJSLDFJSLDF JUST LIKE THE FOURTH BRIDGE
“Had something moved in the darkness?”
His spren?
“‘Roshone lets them know he finds them contemptible. And so they scramble to please him.
‘That makes no sense,’ Kal said.
‘It is the way of things,’ Lirin said, playing with one of the spheres on the table, rolling it beneath his fingers. ‘You’ll have to learn this, Kal. When men perceive the world as being right, we are content. But if we see a hole—a deficiency—we scramble to fill it.”
This feels like how Lirin is acting in Rhythm of War.
Y’know it really makes sense why Kabsal would be working for Thaidakar.
Is…Kabsal attempting to get Shallan to join the Ghostbloods? Rhythm of War makes me wonder how honest Kabsal was towards Shallan. Yeah, Jasnah thought Kabsal was just manipulating her but she didn’t say how she knew this.
“He smiled, then drew the bow across the edge of the metal plate, making it vibrate. The sand hopped and bounced, like tiny insects dropped onto something hot.
‘This,’ he said, ‘is called cymatics. The study of pattern that sounds make when interactive with a physical medium.’
As he drew the bow again, the plate made a sound, almost a pure note. It was actually enough to draw a single music spren, which spun for a moment in the air above him, then vanished. Kabsal finished, then gestured to the plate with a flourish.”
Well, Rhythm of War certainly made this more interesting.
“Bridgemen aren’t supposed to survive. There’s something about that. He wouldn’t be able to ask Lamaril. That man had gotten what he deserved, though. If Kaladin had the ability to choose, such would be the end of all lighteyes, the king included.
Your inner Moash is showing.
“I want you to go back into the barrack and tell the men to come out after the storm. Tell them to look up at me tied here. Tell them I’ll open my eyes and look back at them, and they’ll know that I survived.”
No wonder a religion might be forming around Kaladin.
“Teft lingered too, as if thinking to spend the storm with Kaladin. He eventually shook his head, muttering and joined the others. Kaladin thought he heard the man calling himself a coward.”—Page 517
Brandon Sanderson, leave me the fuck alone.
“‘Taking the Dawnsahrds, known to bind any creature voidish or mortal, he crawled up the steps crafted for Heralds, ten strides tall apiece, toward the grand temple above.’—From The Poem of Ista. I have found no modern explanation of what these ‘Dawnshards’ are. They seem ignored by scholars, though talk of them was obviously prevalent among those recording the early mythologies.”—Page 524
Wait…who’s he? And aw man this becomes more relevant in a few years.
“‘Then you’re not a murderer,’ Kaladin said.
‘Not for want of trying.’ Sigzil eyes grew distant. ‘I thought for certain I succeeded. It was not the wisest choice I made. My master…’
‘Is he the one you tried to kill?’
‘No.’”
We need some backstory.
Marabethia sounds similar to Twitter.
“It claimed that humming of all things, could make a Soulcasting more effective.”
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
“That isn’t the kind of thing the Dawnsingers did. They were healers, kindly spren by the Almighty to care for humans once were forced out of the Tranquiline Halls.”
Is…that right?
“‘We believe that the Voidbringers were real, Shallan. A scourge and plague.. A hundred times they came upon mankind. First casting us from the Tanquiline Halls, then trying to destroy us here on Roshar. They weren’t just spren that hid under rocks, then came out to steal someone’s laundry. They were creatures of terrible destructive power, forged in Damnation creature from hate.’
‘By whom?’ Shallan asked.
‘What?’
‘Who made them? I mean, the Almighty wasn’t likely to have ‘created something from hate.’ So what made them?’
‘Everything has its opposite, Shallan. The Almighty is a force of good. To balance his goodness, the cosmere needed the Voidbringers as his opposite.’”—Pages 634-635
Thaidakar’s reveal really makes Kabsal a more…suspicious character. Like how much does he actually know? How much does Thaidakar actually know? Also, I don’t know if Odium is the opposite of Honor. I guess we’d need all 16 shards names to compare.
“A city where people lived in gigantic, hollowed out stalactites hanging beneath a titanic sheltered ridge.”
EXCUSE ME WHAT
“‘I doubt many would disagree. But I mention these horrors for a purpose. You see, it has been my experience that no matter where you go, you will find some who abuse their power.’ He shrugged. ‘Eye color is not so odd a method, compared to many others I have seen. If you were to overthrow the lighteyes and place yourselves in power, Moash, I doubt that the world would be a very different place. The abuses would still happen. Simply to other people.’
Kaladin nodded slowly, but Moash shook his head. ‘No I’d change the world, Sigzil. And I mean to.’”
Hmmm, yeah that didn’t exactly work out.
“‘That makes you wiser, presumably?’
‘Damnation no,’ Teft said. ‘The only thing it proves is that I’ve more experience staying alive than you.’”
Brandon. Leave. Me. Alone.
“Cenn stopped wheezing. He convulsed once, eyes still open. ‘He watches!’ the boy hissed. ‘The black piper in the night. He holds us in his palm…playing a tune that no man can hear!’”—Page 671
Is…is that a reference to El?
“I’m sorry I drove you to suicide. Here’s some bread.”
How people on this website think Moash’s redemption arch is gonna go.
“‘…why Thaidakar would risk this?’ Amaram was saying, speaking in a soft voice. ‘But who else would it be? The Ghostbloos grow more bold.’”—Page 701
Jasnah was complaining last chapter how she hates being wrong but she was wrong about Shallan’s intentions and that Amaram is not as smart as he seems. Yeah, he’s wrong about who sent the shardbearer to kill him but if I was in the cosmere and someone tried to kill me, I would assume it was Thaidakar. On that note, holy fuck, I need to know what conversation prompted both Gavilar and Amaram to assume that someone trying to kill them had to be Thaidakar. I really hope that Gavilar’s pov is next for KOWT for his death so maybe we could get a conversation where they talk to Thaidakar through cube skype or maybe this avatar (whatever the hell that means.) God Rhythm of War makes this scene so much funnier.
“You’d have changed your mind. In a day or two, you’d have wanted the wealth and prestige—otehrs would have convinced you of it. You’d have demanded that I return them to you. It took hours to decide, but Restares is right—this is what must be done. For the good of Alethkar.”—Page 703
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—this is why we reread—aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Kaladin is going to have some words with Restares.
What happened to Baxil and Av?
?????????????????????????? Why do these two Ardents know about the Physical/Cognitive/Spiritual realm?
“Eight weeks? Forty days of winter at once? That war rare.”—Page 728
Did the weather used to be more consistent on Roshar?
Oh god Rhythm of War has made the Recreance so hard to read.
“If I abandon my principles, then I become something far worse than they. A hypocrite.”—Page 741
A hypocrite is a just a man changing or something. I forget the quote.
“Have you been paying much attention to the conflict between the Tukari and the Emuli?”—Page 753
“And the Tukari are led by that god-priest of theirs, Tezim.”—Page 754
Look at the foreshadowing.
“‘Just as Hatham wishes his partner in negotiations to know of his goodwill, I wish you to know of our goodwill toward you, Brightlord.’
Dalinar frowned. He’d never had much to do with the ardents—his devotary was simple and straightforward. Dalinar got his fill of politics with the court; he had little desire to find more religion. ‘Why? What should it matter if I have goodwill toward you?’
The ardent smiled. ‘We will speak with you again.’ He bowed low and withdrew.”—Pages 756-757
OKAY AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS WAS FUNNY BECAUSE THE ARDENTS GET VERY MIFFED AT DALINAR IN OATHBRINGER BUT “we” HOLY SHIT THAT’S ONE OF BUG PEOPLE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I can imagine why this bug man wants his goodwill because they’re pretty sure he’ll destroy them.
“‘This thing will not happen,’ Rock said. ‘Is impossible to get sphere out of the chasms.’
‘We could swallow them,’ Moash said.
‘You would choke. Spheres are too big, eh?’
‘I’ll better I could do it,’ Moash said. His eyes glittering, reflecting the verdant Stormlight. ‘That’s more money than I’ve ever seen. It’s worth the risk.’”—Page 766
I swear to god, one of these days Moash is going to swallow a sphere.
“You call him the Stormfather, here in Alethkar.”
So people in Alethkar think that Jezerin and the Stormfather are the same person?
“Light grows so distant. The storm never stops. I am broken, and all around me have died. I weep for the end of all things. He has won. Oh, he has beaten us.”
O…Oh man, I hope this isn’t foreshadowing for KOWT.
“We should have expected this, Dalinar thought. We started bringing two armies to a plateau, so they have done the same.”—Page 781
Interesting that Kaladin thought about this when fighting the Fused by Dalinar didn’t fighting the Listeners
“When other men failed, a field of crops got worms in them. When a surgeon failed someone died.”
Well…if your crops fail then you could very much cause a town to starve to death.
“Though there was one thing he clung to. An excuse, perhaps, like the dead emperor. It was the soul of the wretch. Apathy. The belief that nothing was his fault, the belief that he couldn’t change anything. If a man was cursed, or believe he didn’t have to care, then he didn’t need to hurt when he failed. Those failures couldn’t have been prevented. Someone or something else had ordained them.”
Those are some fucking foils right there.
“They watch me. Always. Waiting. I see their face in mirrors. Symbols, twisted, inhuman…”
Babbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbby
“I wish to sleep. I know now why you do what you do, and I hate you for it. I will not speak of the truths I see.”
The sibling?
“I’d surrendered my plans, but you’ve returned them to me. I’ll guard you with my life, Kaladin. I swear it to you, by the blood of my fathers.”—Page 881
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
LISTEN I KNOW ELHOKAR IS AN IDIOT BUT HE’S MY IDIOT
“The further you look, the more pieces that wind breaks into.”—Page 995
That’s interesting
“A champion could work well for you, but it is not certain. And…without the Dawnshards…”—Page 997
Well, we’ll see how Rysn plays into this.

do you think you'll write any wlw content sometime? i recently discovered i'm a lesbian and, although i'll still read and enjoy whatever you write i was wondering :)
Yes but I feel like if I where it would be like trans wlw content since I write only for the boys like? I’ve had this idea for forever kinda heavily inspired by fragments shored where like we’ve got 0t7 x reader poly shit going on and then Taehyung is coming into his own as a trans woman and starting to get more comfortable with being a girl at home
and the m/c and tae have a couple cute moments where the rest of bts call them “our baby girls” and she like picks out skirts for tae and does her make up and then they end up making out in the floor and smudging all their lipstick and maybe one of the boys is watching them and egging them on. And tae discovers that she really really likes the way that lingerie makes her feel all dainty and cute
and it would all be about like- the mc sharing feminine things with tae to make her feel more like a girl and help her figure out her gender expression, and like- both of them going through it togeather trying to figure out what feels good? Ft the rest of the boys being posessive as fuck of them because they’re their girls ☺️
I don’t know if this is what you’re thinking about but like! I consider this wlw content cuz trans women are real women 💜 in the same way trans men are real men 💜 hmmmmmmmm now I’m thinking of like- also writing trans man Jimin into this story as well!
He and Taehyung having a really close love because they both just like- get each other and all of the finer points of their dysphoria and maybe because they’re really loud with it all they don’t kinda realize that Jungkook and the reader also have this weird thing, both of them talking it through and realizing they’re probably both non-binary and coming to terms with what it means to them.
Ft. Cis Hyungline who are so protective over their babies Litterally Yoongi Will go feral if anyone says anything to them even slightly mean. Namjoon has a little stack of books by his bedside so that he can read more of the theory behind it, brining the interesting sections to the four of you and you guys kinda nodding sagely like “yes that’s totally how it is”
And Seokjin is always the really careful Hyung makeing sure you and tae take off your makeup before you go to bed and is sure to check in whenever you or Jimin is wearing a binder, massaging the skin when you take it off after wearing it for a few hours. While hoseok and Jungkook stage nail painting nights because they both like pops of color even if it means a totally different thing for Jungkook to wear the nail polish then it does for hoseok it’s still bonding ☺️
Yeah this got out of hand a little!

Bimbo Bailee (Chapter 1, part 2 repost)
(Part of the Pervert Pentet Series. Content warning: subtext of tragic loss)
_____________________________________________
“Hmmmm.” she made the noise as she struggled to figure out the puzzle before her. Her eyes narrowed to closely examine the sidewalk below. She’d happened to be walking past a nightclub with a rather substantial queue of people spilling down the street. It was evening now, so she’d switched from her tank-top and micro mini-skirt into a pink tube top and ultra-mini skirt (it was really more like a belt made of fabric than a skirt); she used the public changing room a few blocks from her house, the little one with the glass walls and the old-time telephone on one side. At least this one guy she knew told her that it was a changing room. She kinda remembered something about how Superman changed clothes in a thing like that so it made sense to her. The guy said how the glass seemed clear from the inside, but that in reality nobody could see in because it was two way glass or something? Bailee thought it was really complicated, but he obviously knew better than her. She always liked to get totally naked when she was inside there and act really slutty since nobody could see her. She’d shake her tits or spread her ass, or sometimes even masturbate. There weren’t that many of the telephone changing booth thingies around anymore, so she figured that this one was kind of a tourist attraction, what with the big crowd and all the people taking pictures when she was inside. By a big coincidence, she always managed to get to it right before the crowd formed! How lucky is that!
“Hmmmmmmmm.” She bent down further to try to examine the sidewalk. One of the really nice men in the line had told her she’d dropped something and she should bend down to pick it up. After a few seconds of looking, she’d told him that she didn’t see anything, but he assured her that something was down there and that she should keep looking. She was sooo lucky that men were so patient with her. She wasn’t that bright, and she had no idea what she’d do without nice men helping her the way they always did. Like that doctor guy who told her that it’s better for her body that if, when she bends over, she plants her feet wide and bends at the waist with her back straight.
“Hmmmmmmmmmm.” She kept repeating the noise while she kept trying, like, really super hard to figure out what she dropped and why she couldn’t see it. It was starting to make her head hurt, and she’d been bending over to look for it for probably a good two minutes now. Finally she stood up and apologized to the nice man who told her she dropped something. That’s when she noticed that there were several people behind her who all seemed to have their camera-phones out and pointed at her.
She hopped in excitement; the huge, firm, silicone tits almost whacking her in the chin as she did so. “Oh my gosh! You wanna take my picture? Yay! Thanks, everybody!” She quickly flipped the golden waves of hair that cascaded over her shoulders and struck a pose. She may not have been so good with thinky stuff, but this? This she was good at! It was the number one most important thing for a girl to know how to be pretty and sexy, after all! She stuck one fingertip in her pouting mouth and raised one leg in a coy pose while making sure to stick out her tits and ass. After a few seconds she switched to a more confident pose; hands on her hips with her shoulders back, tits thrust forward obscenely.
“Oh wait!” she quickly pinched and twisted her nipples through the semi-sheer pink tank top to make sure they stood out more through her clothes. Guys like it when girls do that, she’d learned. She went back to the boobie pose with nipples sufficiently erect. She switched to a sensual pose where she closed her eyes and raked her hands through her hair. But she couldn’t help but think that she could get some better pictures for the nice men if she had an object to play with, like a lollipop or… oh! Or another girl!
She quickly scanned the line of people before her glassy eyes set their sights on a cute Persian-looking girl with 32D tits. Bailee giggled for a moment; she may be have been dumb, but at least she wasn’t dumb enough to have small tits!
“Hey, 32D! Come over here and make out with me for some pictures!”
The girl glanced down at her chest and then back at Bailee. “Wait, how did you know?”
Bailee just giggled in response. Geez this little slut was stupid. How would she ever get guys if she didn’t know how to rank and compare girls. Men do it all the time automatically, so Bailee made sure she was constantly aware of how she ranked compared to all the girls around her. She was currently number one, and she was giving the 32D girl a chance to be second, only the little ditz was just standing there.
Bailee sighed, she was a 32J, so she was obviously the girl in-charge around here. She grabbed the tan little dummy and shoved her tongue down her throat. She seemed surprised but didn’t seem to object. 32D actually started getting into it once Bailee took one of her hands and stuffed it under the pink tank top so that she could have a chance to see what real boobs feel like.
Bailee wasn’t into girls that much, but what she was into was doing anything to get attention from men. They really liked it when girls made out with each other or licked each others kitties. In fact, Bailee was pretty sure that the whole “lesbian” thing was just a trick to get boys to pay attention to them.
The little Persian girl was starting to make these sensual little moaning noises; at least she wasn’t a prude. Bailee was glad, she hated prudes! She remembered that guys really like pictures of girls licking each others pussies or buttholes, and it was her job to make guys happy. So she squatted down, making sure to spread her legs so everyone could see how good a job she did shaving while she pulled up 32D’s skirt, but she gasped when she saw what was underneath.
“Oh my god! You’re wearing panties?!? Gross!” Bailee always thought panties were really dumb. What’s the point of even wearing a dress if you’re just going to cover up your holes anyway! And besides, everybody knows that pussies need to be uncovered to be healthy. That’s why it’s always best for girls to wear the shortest skirt possible and always sit with their legs open.
After she got over the initial aversion, she started feeling sorry for the girl. Obviously all girls want guys to put their dicks inside them, but the flat-chested little ditz was too dumb to know how. Bailee decided to help by yanking the girl’s panties to her ankles. She made a little noise of objection, but didn’t end up resisting. She just got this really embarrassed smile while everybody took pictures of her little mocha-colored pussy. Bailee had her step out of the underwear, which was a pain. Imagine if this girl had to do all that while a nice man was waiting to put his cock in her butt, she thought.
She held the garment at arms length as if she was holding a dirty rag and walked over to drop it in the gutter. When she turned back, 32D was covering her face in this giggley embarrassed way. That was good! Boys seem to get super turned on when girls are embarrassed. Bailee went back over and squatted down to stick out her tongue as far as she could and licked at the girl’s bare pussy gingerly. The light-brown girl had her pubic hair shaved into a little heart, which Bailee liked. At least she prepared to have her kitty on display. She tried to stay facing forward so everybody could get both of their naked crotches in the picture. Bailee really only flicked the girls clit with the tip of her tongue. It was more important that all the nice men get sexy pictures than it was to actually pleasure the panty-wearing dummy.
32D seemed to get relaxed a bit after that. She even took the lead and posed for pictures with Bailee’s giant boobs; pulling her little tube-top up, holding the firm-pink orbs with her little hands, even pinching and pulling her nipples. She had to admit, as dumb as this girl might be when it comes to getting cock, she could have been a lot worse!
After a few minutes, 32D introduced Bailee to her boyfriend. He looked Persian, too. Also, he dressed like he had a lot of money. He offered to pay Bailee’s way into the club so that she could hang out and have fun with them all night.
He was even nice enough to buy her a drink and he put this special vitamin in it that he said would keep Bailee from getting a hangover the next day. She must have drank a lot, because she didn’t really remember much of what happened after that. Later that night, she had a vague sense of being in a hotel room while a bunch of really awesome guys took turns having sex with her. That made her happy. She also thought she heard the nice Persian man talking with one of the men about money. Geez! What a workaholic! Who talks business while a girl is trying to get lucky!
***
Bailee woke up the next day to find herself laying in a bed in a hospital room. This cute young Indian doctor with a boyish look noticed she was awake and came over to her. He paused for a moment, seeming a bit flustered.
“Hello, Bailee. How are you feeling?” he started with this super hot English accent.
“Ummm, I dunno. I think I had, like, a super fun and good night last night. I kinda remember getting to do like, a lot of sex, and I got to give a bunch of guys blowjobs.” she paused to think for a moment, “Oh, hey! Do you want a blowjob? You’re totally, like, super cute.”
He seemed a bit flustered, “Umm, no. That’s quite all right. The police found you passed out on the couch of a hotel lobby. You… didn’t have any clothes on. They brought you here to make sure you were okay. We learned that you had a rather substantial dose of Rohypnol in your system. Do you have any reason to believe that anything happened last night that you didn’t agree to?”
Bailee shook her head, “uh uh, I think I had a really fun night.” she said before giggling. As she was answering, this hot older woman with silver hair and a lab coat came in. Bailee thought it was silly the way she was dressed. She might be middle-aged, but she still had a good body. Maybe her and Bailee could go out and pretend to be mother and daughter to pick up boys! Guys were totally into that sort of thing.
The older lady leaned over to the cute boy doctor and whispered something to him. She said something about Bailee’s “fee-an-say,” which Bailee figured was a fancy doctor word she didn’t know. And she said something about how Bailee hasn’t been the same since.
Suddenly it occurred to Bailee that hospitals were really sad and totally not fun and that she didn’t want to be in one anymore. So she put on her heels and told them that she was going to go home now. They said some doctory stuff and made her write her name on this really boring paper, but at least they let her keep the cute gown that let everybody see her butt. She could totally use that for costume parties or sexy roleplay. Maybe she could even go out and tell everybody that she has a disease where she needs cum to survive. Yeah! That’d be perfect! After all, guys could be super gullible when it comes to sex. They’ll fall for anything when they’re horny! She was sure glad that she wasn’t like that.

Take My Hand
Summary: Kuroo has a song stuck in his head. Or to be more precise, Daichi seems to have a song stuck in his head and Kuroo finds himself absolutely addicted to it. What does it mean? And what could it lead to?
A/n: This is for Kurodai Mid-Birthday Week 2019! I went with the song inspired prompt and it took me almost til the end of the fic to figure out which song I wanted, haha!
It is ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love With You- by Elvis Presley’. It’s an oldie but a goodie! :D
You can also read on AO3 at: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21741760
Enjoy! :D
Word Count: 2227
————————-
“Hmm… hmmmm… hmmmmmmmm…,”
“Daichi?”
“Hmmhmm… hmmmhmmmm… hmmmmm…,”
“Sa’amura?”
Kuroo peeked his head around the corner of their shared apartment, glancing at his roommate who seemed to be lost in his own little world. He had to bite back a smile as he saw the way the former Karasuno captain continued to hum from his spot in front of the kitchen counter. Swaying back and forth as he mixed together something for dinner he seemed to have lost himself completely to a song in his head.
They had been living off campus for awhile now. It had seemed like a good idea. Both were still getting their feet under them and renting an apartment together and sharing expenses would definitely make things easier. Not to mention they knew one another from high school and a friendship had definitely grown from their rivalry all those years ago. Daichi was a bit more serious than Kuroo and helped to ground him a bit. Kuroo was bit more outgoing and helped to pull Sawamura from his shell. Their cohabitation was definitely beneficial to both parties, but Kuroo did wish that he’d had an inkling of what was going to happen so he could’ve prepared himself a bit more.
In their time living together they had grown used to each others little idiosyncrasies. This one in particular was one of Kuroo’s favorites not that he would ever say anything to Daichi. If he did, the man might stop altogether. There was just something so… endearing about catching the other man in these moments. He never sang… always just a little hummed song and only when he thought he was alone or he got caught up in a task.
However, it was always the same song.
It had started just a few weeks into them living together. Kuroo had been hidden away in his room attempting to get in some extra studying and before he’d known it the clock had read somewhere near one. Groaning he’d leaned back from his small desk, feeling his spine pop pleasantly and had decided to head into the kitchen to find a snack.
That was the first time he’d heard it.
Making his way quietly down the hallway he’d heard a quiet mumbling. No… not a mumble. A rumble? No. They hadn’t quite fit the sound either. As he drew closer to the little kitchen he’d noticed that a light had been left on and his brow furrowed. Quietly he’d glanced around the corner and seen Sawamura standing over by their small stove. He was stirring something in a saucepan that smelled suspiciously of chocolate, but what caught Kuroo’s attention more was that he finally registered the noise.
The man was humming.
It was quiet and soft, but a song nonetheless.
Kuroo felt something in his heart flutter as he heard it and he’d had to take a moment to find the breath he’d lost. Why had it effecting him so? He’d actually had to compose himself against the hallway wall before working up the nerve to make his entrance. Not wanting to startle the other he’d taken a deep breath and made his footsteps a little louder as he entered into the kitchen. As expected, the humming had instantly stopped, but Daichi didn’t look startled or embarrassed. Actually he’d turned his head and given Kuroo a little smile, making Kuroo wonder if he’d even known he’d been doing it in the first place.
“So… couldn’t sleep either?” Daichi had asked, opening one of their cupboards and pulling out another mug.
“No… studying got away from me… a bit… by three hours,” Kuroo had answered honestly, scratching the back of his neck with a sheepish grin, still feeling the way his heart beat a little faster in his chest.
“Well… lucky for you that I made a bit too much cocoa to help with my own sleeplessness. Here… I’ll pour you a cup as well.”
The warm feeling that infiltrated Kuroo’s chest upon hearing the soft humming only grew at the gesture. He’d happily accepted the drink and they’d spent another half hour chatting in the kitchen before they’d finally called it an evening when Daichi had almost nodded off at their kitchen table.
After that one evening, there had been a few more instances of Kuroo being caught off guard by that humming and each time his heart felt like it was going to flutter out of his chest.
It was around the fifth time that he realized that perhaps… possibly… he may be harboring a bit of a flame for the other man. There was no denying that when they were younger he’d had a crush on the guy. Who didn’t?! Or to be more specific… who couldn’t? He was strong, smart, charming… you’d have to be an idiot to not have had a crush on one Sawamura Daichi. However, Kuroo had simply pushed back his feelings. It was supposed to have been a highschool crush, nothing more. They were all getting ready to start their university careers and who would have time for something trivial like that? He’d been completely content to just continue a friendship nothing more.
But…
But….
Then he’d had to hear that soft, gentle humming that made his heart flutter, his stomach feel like there were butterflies inside and his knees feel like jelly… and now all those old feelings came rushing back like a tsunami.
And that had only been the start of his troubles. Ever since the realization had struck he’d found himself falling harder and harder for the man with each passing day. Did Daichi even realize what he was doing to him?!
Probably not. But every teasing comment, every home cooked meal, every time they shared a moment together only seemed to make the fondness in his heart grow for the former captain.
So… here he was, standing in the hallway, listening to Daichi humming that same song like always, his heart beating a mile a minute and savoring every second. He would happily stand there and listen to this song over and over again and to be fair… hadn’t he already been doing that? The only thing that ever bothered him… was that he had yet to be able to figure out what the song was.
How many times had he secretly heard it now? Fifteen? Fifty? Maybe somewhere in the middle, but each time he would go through the list of songs he knew and not once was he ever able to come up with the right tune or melody to match.
He’d even gone so far as to ask Bokuto and Kenma for help, but he himself had never really been able to carry a tune. When he’d tried to hum the song or sing it a bit, he’d gotten two different reactions.
Kenma had asked if he was being serious or if he was trying to purposefully sing off key.
Bokuto had laughed so hard he had literally cried, claiming that Kuroo sounded exactly like a cat yowling in an alleyway.
Needless to say he’d given up asking others for help after that.
Still, there was something kind of thrilling about it. A little mystery that Kuroo hoped to one day figure out or… that maybe one day Daichi would be willing to confide in him? But honestly, what were the chances of that? He didn’t know that Kuroo was harboring these feelings. Daichi probably had no idea that he hoped to one day have more than this friendship, but
“Wise men say… only fools rush in… But I can’t help… falling in love… with… you,”
Kuroo’s smile faltered as he heard the humming shift into Daichi’s smooth voice, though the other still kept his words soft. In an instant, the former Nekoma captains entire world focused completely onto that melody.
“Shall I stay? Would it be a sin? If I can’t help… falling in love… with… you.”
The words were so gentle that it made Kuroo’s heart ache as he listened to it. This was far more… personal than when he’d simply heard the melody hummed along in Daichi’s timbre. This… this was a song the man honestly felt.
But for who?
“Like a river flows, surely to the sea… darling so it goes… some things are meant to be.”
With every word, Kuroo found himself drawn more and more to Daichi. He needed to know just who was it that was making this… amazing man sing so openly from the heart? There was no way a song like this just gets stuck in a person’s head for weeks without there being a catalyst for it.
“Take my hand… take my whole life too. For I… can’t… help… falling in love… with… K-KUROO?!”
The spell was immediately broken as Kuroo realized that he hadn’t just been drawn to Daichi’s words on an emotional level. Apparently, much like a bed-headed moth to a flame, he’d made his way from his spot in the hallway to stand directly behind Daichi… managing to scare the hell out of the man and almost getting a wooden spoon to the face.
“Do I have to get a bell for you?! Oh my heart….,” Daichi panted, clutching his chest and trying to get his breath back. “Wh-what… are you doing sneaking up on me like that?”
Kuroo felt his ears heating up as he realized that he really, really didn’t have a good enough reason to be there. His original reason for even being in the hallway to begin with was completely lost to him so his mouth decided to try and help as his brain slowly short circuited.
“Who are you singing about?” he asked quietly, his brain finally kicking in to remind him that his mouth said stupid, stupid things when left to its own devices.
Daichi’s entire face turned a slightly unhealthy shade of crimson and he cleared his throat. “Oh… I… it was… I heard it on the radio today,” he said with a shrug, turning back to the food he’d been working on.
However, Kuroo found he really couldn’t let this go. Not now.
“If you just heard it today, Sa’amura… then why have you been humming it for weeks?” he asked, stepping a little closer to the man, enough to see that the crimson color was now moving to his ears.
“No I haven’t.”
“Yes you have.”
“Prove it.”
“What are you, five?”
“What are you, five?”
Kuroo actually snorted as his own question was mimicked back at him in a very non-Daichi way. Apparently he’d already had an effect on the man from them living together… and he was starting to wonder if perhaps in more ways than he’d dared to hope if the blush was anything to go by.
“Actually. I can prove it,” he said with a wider smile, watching as Daichi turned to him with a narrowed expression.
“Is that right?” he asked, folding his arms over his broad chest and all but daring Kuroo to continue.
This only made Kuroo grin and he nodded. “I can prove it because I’ve been trying to figure out what this song is for just as long. Since I first heard you humming it when making cocoa. I’ve asked Kenma… hell I’ve even asked Bo! I can name each and every time I’ve heard it because… each time it has always made me stop… and made my heart feel like it was going to flutter out of my chest,” he admitted, watching the way Daichi’s eyes widened before he quickly ducked his head to look at the floor.
Kuroo’s own expression softened and he stepped closer, carefully reaching forward and taking Daichi’s hand in his.
“Y-You don’t have to… you don’t… if you don’t feel the same I understand… I…,” Daichi seemed to be floundering for words now, as if his darkest secret was finally being exposed and Kuroo would take it and crush it in his hands before him.
Kuroo couldn’t take that. Couldn’t take seeing and hearing that worry and fear and knew he had to make sure Daichi understood… really understood.
“T-Take… my hand. Take my whole life too…,” he began, his words slow and careful and the notes a little offkey. “For I… can’t… help. Falling in love… with… you.”
Daichi’s eyes instantly glanced up as he sang, his eyes wide as if trying to decide if this was real or not. But just as Kuroo was beginning to wonder if he’d misstepped he watched as a smile began to spread over Daichi’s face and the shorter man brought his free hand up to stifle a laugh.
It was Kuroo’s turn to feel his cheeks going red and he cleared his throat. “S-Sorry. I… I’m not very good at singing. Ask Bo! He almost passed out he laughed so hard when I tried to get his help figuring it ou-,” His words were cut off as soft lips pressed against his own.
He remained frozen in that moment as Daichi leaned back, a warm smile on his face that Kuroo vowed he’d always work to keep there.
“I don’t know what Bo’s talking about,” Daichi murmured softly, giving Kuroo’s fingers a soft squeeze in his own as the former Nekoma captain realized that this man held his heart utterly and completely. “You sounded perfect to me.”

🦕 - what/how does prehistory make you feel? if you came face to face with a prehistoric creature, how would you react?
I HAD A MASSIVE DINOSAUR PHASE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A DINOSAUR ANY KIND OF DINOSAUR I WANNA SEE I ALWAYS WANNA SEE like MAN i am first in line @ a time travel machine. and anything abt prehistory always manages to makes me feel so small but not in the insignificant way but like the idea that the world at one point was allowed to just BE probably at its most beautiful and terrifying and untainted like w o w i would Love to see mother nature just off the shits at its peak
🗼 - what fills you with awe- technical advancements or natural displays?

Rules: answer the 20 questions, then tag 20 bloggers you’d like to get to know better
1. Name: Devon

9. Favourite scent: This changes a lot, but right now it's the Hibiscus Guava spray and lotion BBW brought back for like 2 seconds after years of it being unavailable.
10. Favourite colour: Whenever I get this question I always think "Dusty Blue" and googling that wasn't quite right, but close enough. Something like this: https://images.delphiglass.com/image_1500/215009.jpg
11. Favourite animal: Childhood go to was wolves and it's as good an answer as any. XD Broadly speaking I like most animals, but ones that I seek out pictures of and give me the most joy are wolves, dogs, cats, frogs, horses, goats, and pangolins.

Shur Kha for the ultimate ship meme because why not :3
General:
Rate the Ship - Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs (Honestly, I’m all for the ship though it’ll def take some plotting because the obvious Jacques being 99% into the dudes |D Mostly in part because male characters are easier for me to work with ;v;)
How long will they last? - For how long they’d last... that would be up in the air I feel >> depending on how many times they butt heads and such. I could see it lasting a long time but at the SAME time I could see it lasting briefly >>
How quickly did/will they fall in love? - With Jacques being how he is, it would no doubt have taken quite awhile to forge any relationship (romantic or otherwise) because he tends to be very guarded when it comes to letting people in.
How was their first kiss? - One word: Awkward... >>
Wedding:
Who proposed? - It wouldn’t be Jacques that’s for sure *SHOT* Honestly, who WOULD be the one to propose between these two >_>
Who is the best man/men? - No doubt it would be Shur’s brother Khara as well as P’shali and Swath >>
Who is the brides maid(s)? - I... have no idea |D Though one character could come in mind but she’s played by @talechaser-ffxiv >> and that would be Mana.
Who did the most planning? - Between the two of them, I’d likely lean towards Jacques but honestly... both? LMAO
Who stressed the most? - Jacques hands down... then again I could also see this as another both sort of option |D
How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.
Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - PFFFFTTTTT I dunno? (These are hard okay >>)
Sex:
Who is on top? - While Jacques has his moments where he’ll gladly ‘bend over’ for people he’s generally the one on top ;)
Who is the one to instigate things? - I mean... Jacques can be pretty forward when it comes to certain things so... more than likely him >>
How healthy is their sex life? - When you’re with Jacques you no doubt have a very healthy sex life >v>Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now
How kinky are they? - Jacques is obviously no stranger to the kinky stuff (He loves his Bondage and stuff like that) so... |DStraight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head
How long do they normally last? - SERIOUSLY THESE QUESTIONS LMAO Ummmmmmmmmm Jacques has stamina for days so... >_> I’d say fairly long?
Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - Jacques is always the sort to make sure his partners get a decent amount of... ahem... times, equal though... that’s hard to say |D Jacques tends to be a hit or miss on that mark >>
How rough are they in bed? - If something doesn’t get clawed up then it’s not a good time! XD Not really but...Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.
How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - Jacques is certainly a cuddler and snuggler when he’s in the right mood so... >>No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.
Children:
How many children will they have naturally? - If Jacques had the choice he’d say none... but at the very least they’d have one |D
How many children will they adopt? - If it gets him passed the poopy diaper stage then he’d gladly adopt at least one child. More if said child is you know... decent >>
Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Sorry Shur but this is your field, Jacques is obviously not going to be dealing with any poopy/dirty diapers |D
Who is the stricter parent? - Jacques would likely be the stricter of the two but that would probably be because he is worried for his children. Overprotective papa would be extremely over protective.
Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Jacques would be there watching them like a hawk, though he would also no doubt be the person to let them make their mistakes and hopefully learn from them >>
Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Jacques is a natural cook, so obviously he’d be the one to likely remember them the most |D
Who is the more loved parent? - Both? I couldn’t see one or the other getting more love honestly >>
Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - Both again, I could see Jacques being the one to go there but also Shur as well. Both going because they want to make sure their kids aren’t up to no good >>
Who cried the most at graduation? - Another one that I like feel both would have the equal amount of crying here. Jacques would try and hide it though XD
Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Not Jacques >> he’d let them stay in there just so that they could learn their lesson... and if they don’t well then he’d just let them keep getting in trouble until they learn.
Cooking:
Who does the most cooking? - Jacques, he wouldn’t let anyone else in the kitchen unless he trusted them >>
Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Hmmmmm I don’t truly see either being picky about their food but at the same time possibly Shur?
Who does the grocery shopping? - Jacques would be the one to go out and get everything, whether it’s through shopping or straight up gathering it from the wilds
How often do they bake desserts? - Jacques would be doing it all the damn time, he loves baking >>
Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Jacques doesn’t MIND salads but he’s more the meat lover type... so yeah |D it would be a healthy diet but mostly meat >>
Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Jacques, he would easily be the one to make any sort of surprises happen. Whether it’s an anniversary or a birthday or any special event.
Who is more likely to suggest going out? - This would likely fall on Shur because Jacques doesn’t really like going out all that much. You know... Introvert and all that |D
Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - I mean it wouldn’t be Jacques |D
Chores:
Who cleans the room? - Equal sharing of the cleaning, Jacques would do his part and I can see Shur also potentially helping out as well. Maybe it’s something along the lines of just one cleans one day and the other cleans the next.
Who is really against chores? - Honestly... Jacques wouldn’t be against it so... I DUNNO 8D
Who cleans up after the pets? - When you have a massive Behemoth, a Fenrir puppy and a honery Chocobo you learn to clean up quite frequently... *COUGHS* So Jacques more than likely |D
Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Jacques would stomp on anyone who hides stuff under the rugs so... Not him >>
Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Depending on the guests it would probably be Jacques. He doesn’t do good with people obviously >>
Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Free Gil is Free Gil so either of them would likely be the one to find money in the couch while cleaning |D
Misc:
Who takes the longer showers/baths? - This one is a toss up, Jacques would likely be the one that takes the longer baths because of his scales and he tends to ‘shed’ them every so often. So the hot water would help with that, long soaks = very pleasant for him as well.
Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Probably Jacques, especially if it means he can just go out into the forest or something to ‘get away’ and unwind a bit :P
How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Jacques would certainly get into the spirit of things but he wouldn’t go WILD so to speak. He’d put up a tree and such with lights and that’d be about it. He’d likely decorate for the major holidays of Eorzea and that’d be it.
What are their goals for the relationship? - Hmmmmmmmm, a healthy one would be the biggest thing that I could think of. I DUNNO I’M BAD AT THIS OKAY ;v;
Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Jacques, he rarely gets enough sleep so when he does he’d be out like a light and no doubt sleep until noon or past it >>
Who plays the most pranks? - Obviously Shur :v she’d prank the shit out of poor Jacques day in and out to the point that he’d likely be looking for the traps/pranks the moment he gets home XD
LORD THIS ONE WAS HARD 8C I hope I did a good job though! But I leave you with this gif...
ULTIMATE SHIP MEME!

I’m going to remake Singin’ in the Rain, the movie that made me gay, as a double gay love story and here’s how
@a-buncha-hoopla I feel like you’d appreciate this.
So we still open with Don Lockwood on the red carpet giving a shoutout to Cosmo and telling his heavily embellished life story that the flashbacks make clear is embellished.
Except now, in addition to that, the flashbacks make it clear that Don and Cosmo were childhood sweethearts and had started to honest-to-heck fall in love when they arrived in Hollywood, but when Don’s career started blowing up they had to look innocuous for the paparazzi (I know the 20s were more of a lax time for gay couples in public but they’re basically hiding for the same reason Don and Cathy have to hide in the original i.e. the studio has a narrative to sell, they have to “keep their stars looking ridiculous at any cost”) and Cosmo sort of...faded loyally into the background. Don telling Lena there’s nothing between them while they play a happy couple for the cameras becomes a lot more of a hmmmmmmmm moment.
Don still jumps into Cathy’s car and that whole scene goes down almost the same except that Cathy’s rebuke slightly implies that it’s not just movies she’s not so into, but men (IT KIND OF ALREADY SOUNDS LIKE THIS TO ME BUT I’M WATCHING WITH LESBIAN GOGGLES SO).
The whole scene at the party is also basically unchanged, with Cathy jumping out of the cake and seeing Don, except The Cream Pie Incident has a few lines making it clear Cathy’s disdain for them all extends to Lena to so it’s more of a confrontation between them. In the next scene on the lot of the new movie, Cathy shows up, “believe me, it was MEANT for mr. lockwood” etc. which Lena can maybe...react to a bit? There’s an “I like her spirit” there.
Idk if the whole thing of Lena getting Cathy fired stays or not...actually you know what! It stays. Lena is petty and I want to keep her petty. But here’s some other things about her that interest me:
She was famous before Don was, he basically owes her his career
Everybody thinks she’s stupid and doesn’t respect her at all AND YET she seems to know the ins and outs of the business better than anyone including the head of the studio and has loads of connections
Yes she’s petty and yes she’s a backstabber but it’s understandable that she wants to maintain what little respect she can get with the way all the men treat her
This will all be relevant later, but at this point: can we have Lena hanging around Significantly during the “Beautiful Girl” number? YES, YES WE CAN. Also, all the fun numbers that Don and Cosmo have together stay fun, but become flirty as well.
Don and Cathy make up but it’s not a falling-in-love scene, he gets her work and she becomes friends with him and with Cosmo, they go to the disastrous preview together and we get “Good Morning, Good Morning” as the inevitable aftermath of a bunch of theatre gays staying up too late together. They hit on the realization to make a musical and have Cathy sing and talk for Lena, all is pretty much as is.
Afterwards, Don and Cosmo say goodbye to Cathy and walk home together. They’re reminiscing about the good times in the vaudeville circuit together and start singing “Singin’ in the Rain” sort of absentmindedly and naturally and sync up and it becomes a romantic dance number between them. Cosmo leans in for a kiss, but The Same Cop who breaks Don out of his reverie in the original shows up, and remembering why they tried to chill their relationship out in the first place, they part ways on the wistful end of the song.
Now the whole Broadway Melody dream sequence is about Don coming out to himself. The random Cyd Charisse character is a beautiful drag queen who sheds their wig and transforms into some kind of ethereal grecian twink and he’s still left with is head spinning but emerges more confident and secure. After they pitch The Dancing Cavalier, they walk out and he confesses his love. Cosmo melts with relief and they kiss.
A FEW DAYS LATER. Lena storms in, not to the final wrap but onto the set, and tells Cathy she knows what’s up. Don and Cosmo go to bat for her but Lena and Cathy are determined to handle this between themselves. “Listen kid,” Lena says, “I’ve been where you’re at. I know it’s hard to make it in this town. But you’re gonna have to find somebody else’s coattails to ride. Times may be changing but I’ve paid my dues, and I’m not going back in the damn cake!”
Cathy doesn’t realize what’s going on between Don and Cosmo--via a series of misunderstandings she still thinks Don’s got it bad for her (when actually he’s genuinely just trying to make up for what a jerk he was to her). Lena thinks she’s gonna fight her on this but actually she’s like “fine, you know, a job’s a job but at this point it’s probably best to distance myself from this whole thing.”
Lena’s like “Really?” and then pauses for ages and is like, “Um. Here’s the thing...if you’re not doing the movie that’s great but I have to learn to sing and dance. Fast.”
So Cathy teaches her.
Lena apologizes from the bottom of her heart for getting her fired and promises to pay her well and help her career where she can (but not if it’ll cost her own career at all). Maybe there are musical numbers here, maybe it’s a montage, I don’t know. But the point is they get to know each other very, very, well, until finally one day,
“Cathy there’s...something I’ve been meaning to say to you but...I’m such a ham. I don’t know if I can do it without the proper setting.”
So they steal into that empty soundstage together, and Cathy figures something out:
Lena can’t sing, and she can’t act, and she can’t dance...
but she can direct.
(This scene is very meaningful to me as it furnished my 7-8 year old self with my first “””””””””””””””from the guy’s perspective””””””””””””””””” gay fantasies, so forgive me if I linger on it).
She creates a magical story and scene around Cathy, puts her up on a balcony to hecking worship her, floods her with artificial moonlight, and when she’s done, Cathy says, “Now that you have the proper setting, can you say it?”
Lena looks up with eyes full of adoration and struggle and whispers, “You’re my voice, Cathy. If this is truly what you want...you’ll say it for me.”
And Cathy stands there with her dress fluttering around all angelically and “Life was a song...you came along...I laid awake the whole night through...” melts from her throat.
So ok, that all having happened and both couples more or less official, the movie is set to release soon and the rumor mill is swirling. The studio wants Cathy AND Cosmo off the lot--nothing to interfere with the power couple the media knows them for.
Cosmo finally starts suffering and writes that symphony. Don and Lena Are Not Communicating, they both think the other is out to get them/out to get Cathy. This means that Lena still gets to go OWN in the head of the studio’s office in that bomb ass outfit and tell them she can sue them if they take Cathy off the film, and this time since she’s doing it For Love it gets to be the righteous comeuppance to all the men who condescended to her that it ALWAYS KIND OF WAS if you’re not watching it in 1955.
And then on the premier night Cathy still ends up singing behind the curtain for Lena and the guys, misunderstanding what’s going on because Lena and Cathy have been overcompensating so much in trying to keep their relationship a secret (they’re like “for all intents and purposes we hate each other” “ok sounds like a plan”), reveal that it’s her, but Lena is the one who tells the audience to stop Cathy from running away and tells them she’s the one whose voice they loved.
And then she turns to Don and Cosmo and says “Don’t just stand there, do something” and having finally gotten the picture they strike up the band and Don sings “You Are My Lucky Star,” TO Cosmo but FOR Lena and Cathy’s benefit.
And at the end, it’s that exact same billboard from the actual movie that says “Starring DON LOCKWOOD and CATHY SELDEN”
except
underneath
it also says
“Produced and directed by LENA LAMONT - Original songs by COSMO BROWN”
and both couples are underneath embracing.
+FADEOUT+
