#I was always of the opinion that she deserved to go a little apeshit at some point

You know what I always wanted? An episode where Kagome actually manages to give in to the Darkness in her heart and it would be up to Inuyasha this time to snap her out of it and bring her back to her senses (paralleling how she always manages to bring him back whenever he goes into full demon mode), kinda like the 1st movie or the Tsubaki arc but like better because this time it wouldn’t just be Kagome’s body under the control of another but her mind as well due to giving into all her insecurities regarding Kikyo.
Honestly? This is such a good concept that it deserved to be its own freaking arc. The potential for angst and character development is insane. The parallels with Inuyasha, the parallels with Kikyo.
"You really are my reincarnation, walking the same path I did" except Kagome is walking her own path, based on her own decisions, because of her own feelings and then dealing with the aftermatch of her own actions after Inuyasha manages to bring her back.
I think it's brilliant because Inuyasha was always so terrified of Kagome dying on him that he doesn't really worry about all the other ways he can lose her. Or rather, he does, but it's never really explored in a serious or satisfying manner.
And the irony of it all? Like, Kagome being the one constantly afraid Inuyasha would forget about her if he goes full demon, only for her to turn the tables? Cinema.

Thoughts on Charlie in Underworld!
OK OK OK THANK YOU FOR ASKING THIS BECAUSE 500 LETTERS ON THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE ISN'T QUITE ENOUGH TO GIVE MY ENTIRE OPINION THIS IS GONNA BE VERY RAMBLY, SPOILERY AND PROBABLY PRETTY LONG SO I'M CONTINUING UNDER THE CUT
So first of all I gotta say that I played Underworld Office practically when it came out by finding it a little randomly. I absolutely fell in love with the game in pretty much all of it's aspects - be it the art, the characters or the story- , got obsessed with it for around a month, and then it went a little to the back. But what I can tell you is that I loved Charlie practically the second they were introduced because they're quite literally the kind of character I love the second they're shown to us so OBVIOUSLY when my friends told me that there was gonna be a sequel ABOUT CHARLIE I was hooked.
And now that the game came out, boy I was NOT disappointed.
First of all, the main cast is just as awesome as it was in Underworld Office. I love Eugene as much as I did in Underworld Office, maybe even more, I've always loved him, i'll always love him, he's my son (and one of highest kins but that's a story for another day). He's all grown up (which made me strangely proud of him) and yet still as much of a kind-hearted, self-sacrificing dumbass who just wants what's best for everyone as he was back in the first game, but you can see that he came such a long way from the nervous-wreck he still kinda was even at the end of underworld office and he has friends and I'm so proud of him and his chapter WRECKED ME like HOLY SHIT WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME WRITERS THIS POOR GUY ALREADY SUFFERED ENOUGH. He deserves so much better and he's still such a lovable character to me partly because he's a really expressive character. Like a part that really hurt me was the moment where he has his fight with Charlie, on the illustration you can read his emotions so clearly I love him so much his anger at the end of chapter 6 is so justified and i empathize with him so much this guy can just do no wrong zoieieizozorhrjrike.
Hayden - who happened to be a character I was quite indifferent to in underworld office (i liked him and thought he was a good character but it didn't run deeper than that) - brought so much sympathy out of me I was NOT expecting that. He's genuinely such a cute character he's just a kid who's doing his best and it was heartbreaking to see his reactions to learning his parents were going to have a new baby like you can sense his anguish (OR maybe it's me being way too invested in fictional characters IDK) and holy crap I melted inside when he asked for his brother to be named Charlie and absolutely died inside when I had to let him become an evil spirit to get an ending and he's also on one of my favorite illustrations of the game so THAT'S A PLUS IG
Boss. I am SO GLAD that Boss FINALLY got more depth than he used to have. I get that the entire point of the character is that we don't know lots of stuff about him but it feels great to have at least just a bit more informations about his story. Boss is the embodiment of the expression the road to hell is paved with good intentions. He wanted to protect himself but at the same time didn't want anyone to get hurt because of that and ended up causing more pain in the end because he handled all the situations with all the member of the office in a shitty way because no bestie hiding the truth from everyone and drowning in your own guilt isn't the right way to protect people. I love him and I dislike him at the same time he's my poor little meow meow.
River. I really liked her in Underworld Office. I still really like her. We FINALLY know what her death was and my god the circumstances of her death are awful and I wish she could have found peace instead of sulking in her own anger and hate she deserved so much better and yes much better means GO APESHIT YOU DESERVE IT. She's just such a fun character and didn't deserve the stuff that was thrown at her in her life.
Joan is great. I love Joan. You don't love Joan? Tbh I can understand why, but really her being kind of a stuck-up grandma is the strength of her character I think. Her story is heartbreaking like she didn't mean to kill Bill and I understand why she covered up the stuff but that doesn't make it right and Bill's anger is so justified but his actions are really not and kzjejdkzlsmmdld BOTH WATCHING HER EXILING HERSELF WITH BILL OR BECOMING AN EVIL SPIRIT HURT LIKE SHIT HELP.
Sean I actually don't have a lot to say about him except that we don't deserve him. He's so sweet and, much like Eugene, just wants what's best for everyone and tries to do his best to make the underworld better for everyone and we really don't deserve him my sweet son ily 😭
And now for Charlie. Charlie my absolute beloved. Like I said at the beginning, Charlie was my favorite character practically the second we were introduced to them in Underworld Office. Before Charlie in Underworld came out, when trying to theorize why Charlie was the way they were in Underworld Office, my theory was that Charlie was someone who died surrounded by indifference, and seems I was both right and wrong. Charlie lived among people's indifference of their situation. Their father was awful I don't think I need to explain why and their mom was just trying to survive and only did what she could do in her situation and Charlie just felt like they were ignored, them and their suffering and when Mike came into the picture, I like to think that Charlie wanted to have Mike as a friend, but they just never learned how to have a healthy relationship, be it friendship or anything else and because of that they just kept on telling themselves that they were pathetic for dwelling on their situation because Mike's was supposedly worse and i'm sure they blamed themselves so much for what they did to Mike and what happened to him and their mother after what he did to them both before and after their death and just. Their story made me tear up each time it came they never meant to hurt anyone they were just scared and while it doesn't make any of the things they did right it explains so much. And after losing their memory. My god the SNARK. THE CYNICISM. THE SARCASM. THE ANGER AND YET THE GUILT. JUST EVERYTHING. Charlie just has such a strong personality and is also a really expressive character and I absolutely love them for it. Basically even without knowing shit about themselves, the kid they're supposed to protect or the people they're supposed to work with Charlie knows one thing, they were a fucking menace and they're sure gonna be staying like that. And yet even while being a menace who's also really bad at communicating their feelings, Charlie understands other's feelings way better than they would probably care to admit. Like they say towards the end of the game, they're a shitty person who's done shitty things but that doesn't change the fact that in the few days they spent with the underworld office's workers they've come a long way from who they were as a ghost terrorizing people in the subway just to feel seen and not just because they didn't remember anything because they clearly feel guilty when they're about to turn entirely dark after remembering their past they just went through so much and didn't deserve any of it they just wanted to be left alone and my god I already loved charlie before but now I'm just like KQKDJEISOKZKRKRJ. AND I BARELY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE OF WHAT I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT CHARLIE BUT I JUST. CAN'T FIND THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW DEEPLY I FEEL ABOUT THEM. I JUST LOVE THEM SM.
NOW IF YOU'RE STILL READING THIS I CAN MOVE ON.
I'm not gonna dwell too much on how much I love the art style of the game, or how I think the design are great, be it with the shapes, the colors, or the expressions of the characters who are always very expressive, which really makes it clear to guess what they're feeling even to a dumbass like me because I already made you read through my thoughts on the characters.
The story in itself is great. I don't really know what else to say. I love the idea of the workers deciding to unseal Charlie to keep Eugene safe. I LOVE EUGENE BEING AN ADULT I AM SO PROUD OF HIM. I am not exactly a fan of blackmail but y'know, I can understand why they would doubt Charlie. The fact that Charlie has amnesia is also a really great way to carry the scenario and to make them empathize with the other characters of the cast, be it by empathizing with them and validating their anger because they know what it feels like to feel alone, hurt or afraid and they know what it feels like to feel wronged or, like in Joan's case, by calling them out on their bullshit like others should have done to them. The fact that Boss has hidden the truth about how good and evil work to the others is great, and heartbreaking when you see the impact it has on both River and Eugene, who both trusted him, and i also think it's hilarious that Charlie ends up being the only level-headed person in the last chapter considering how they were in Underworld Office. Serves again to show how much they've grown during the game. SAME HERE I BARELY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T FIND THE WORDS BUT THE SUBJECTS THE GAME BRINGS UP ARE REALLY WELL HANDLED I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORD IT ANY OTHER WAY.
Speaking of which, I can now talk about the relationships
First of all I'd like to say I absolutely adore Eugene and Charlie as a duo. They're legit a great duo and as a trio with Hayden they're just as great. Just Eugene's level-headedness, kindness and naivety mixed in with Charlie's free-spirit, hot-headed and desechanted self makes them work together really well, especially since Charlie, due to their lack of tie to any of the members of the team and pretty much hating Boss on sight, isn't being lowkey manipulated by Boss because they're too naive. Plus who doesn't love two absolute dumbasses working together?
I also love Charlie's and River's dynamic. River is absolutely unhinged and Charlie is not having a good time because of that, especially since they didn't exactly take well the fact that River doubted them because they used to be dark. I like them because, due to them being fundamentally shadows like River says, they're way more similar than meets the eye and while what makes Eugene and Charlie work together is the fact that they're opposites, what makes River and Charlie works is that they're similar. Also I really like the fact that we're given the choice to be somewhat thoughtful of River in Collapse.
The last relationship I can think of is the one between Charlie and Sean. Because while it may be a really background one, it's just very symbolic and I like the conversation they have in the sixth chapter.
OH AND THE ENDINGS. I LOVE THEM ALL BUT LIKE,,, THE ONLY CHARLIE IN UNDERWORLD ENDING IS MY FAVORITE I JUST. I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH. LIKE YOU GO CHARLIE YOU GO EUGENE YOU GO MY CHILDREN YOU'RE DOING GREAT.
BUT ALSO THE SWAMP OF EVIL SPIRITS ENDING IS SO COOL I LOVE IT. I LOVE THE IDEA OF IT EVEN IF IT'S SO PAINFUL LIKE BASICALLY FROM WHAT I UNDERSTOOD EUGENE'S SPIRIT WAS DESTROYED LIKE WHY DO YOU SO THIS TO ME BUT ALSO.... I LOVE THE IDEA OF CHARLIE JUST HANGING AROUND BUT THE THOUGHT THAT CHARLIE IS JUST STUCK WITH GNAWING GUILT BUT THE MEMORY OF EUGENE JUST WON'T LET THEM TURN INTO A MONSTER IS HEART-WRENCHING LIKE CHARLIE I'M SO SORRY YOU DESERVE BETTER.
AND THE GOOD ENDING IS A GOOD ENDING SO OF COURSE I LIKE IT LIKE YOU GO CHILDREN KEEP BEING A BUNCH OF DUMBASSES BUT BE BETTER DUMBASSES THAN YOU COULD BE WITH BOSS AS YOUR BOSS.
I think I'm done here I can't think of anything else to say I absolutely adore this game if it wasn't obvious thanks for sending this to my inbox i really wanted to ramble about it
Tl;dr : i am in love with this game, its characters, its story and its relationships

Red Dwarf for the fandom ask game?
Much obliged!
❤Favourite character: Very obvious but Kryten. He's my special little guy. The little guy that spins in my brain like a fork in a microwave.
He's my favourite for many, many reasons, but one of the biggest is the way he handles emotions.
He's overly emotional, not like how one would expect from an android when you first think of one... and as an overly-emotional person I relate heavily. He takes the 'autistic robot' stereotype and flips it on it's mashed potato head.
When I was little, my foster carer would explain that me being autistic meant I was 'wired differently', so I always kind of associated being autistic with being a robot, but not in the 'usual' way.
👿Least favourite character: ...I don't think there's a single character I don't like. Besides Rimmers' parents. Other than that, I either adore every character or am impartial, with no real opinion.
💐Comfort character: I have the RD novels, and I always re-read Kryten's parts in them if I'm feeling low. But I also adore the Cat honestly! Fancy cat man just living his best life, spoiling himself the way we all should try to, at least in positivity.
Despite his selfishness, I can't help but admire Cat's high self-esteem, no matter what anyone else says to him, he never lets it bounce him back [at least not for long] and I take comfort in that.
😍Character you have the biggest crush on: Kryten. I want to kiss his stupid head but I also wanna throw him down a staircase ya feel.
🤝Character you relate to the most: As a curry eating short ass scouser, Lister is 'just like me fr'. Like I wouldn't have watched RD if I didn''r his accent and go HOLY SHIT FUCK YES!!!' and start watching the show weekly.
🔥Character you think is overrated: I don't really know? I remember when I was simply a Lurker on tumblr,. Rimmer was mind-numbingly over popular but I wouldn't say he was overrated. This fandom is quite well-rounded when it comes to character variety.
🧨Character you love to hate: All of them. They're all the worse. Snobby bitch boys. All of them. I hope they all fly into the sun. I adore them I hope they live happily ever after. I despise them. I love them.
🙈Character you always forget exists: Kochanski... I like her a lot but I always forget about her until she's mentioned. Sorry queen it's not your fault you were written by 40 year old men.
🐰Favourite non-human character: DA SKUTTERS BAYBEEEEEE Such little thangs. Imagine if they made like,,, toys of them that drive around with a controller like those shitty race car thingies. I'd but thousands and storm a Tesco.
❤️‍🩹Character who deserved better: All of them!!! But especially Kryten to me. Let him break free from his code completely! Let him run out of fucks to give! Go apeshit king get tired of being nice! Get that garden!

001 - Star Trek TOS
Favorite character
BONES he's everything to me actually. he's infested my mind like a virus he's SO funny he wants so badly to go apeshit but unfortunately he's in a polycule of fucking idiots and has to drug them both to get the chance to be a dumbass for ONCE. he's an idiot but he has to plan out his idiocy to make sure his two idiots don't get themselves killed while he's gone. zero business being that funny.
Least Favorite character
kirk when i come to the horrifying realisation that he is in fact the mouthpiece for the 60s white men that are writing him and is in fact played by william shatner aka episodes like miri and that one where he's a native american god bc what the fuck... i'll be watching having a good time and then oh fuck. thats shatner's face NOOOOO aside from that the random side characters that replace uhura or sulu or chekov when theyre not available who are you fucking imposters!!!
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon)
i barely have a singular ship the entire ship is well. a ship. theyre all dating each other the entire ship is polyamorous. my fave dynamics so far tho r; bones & spock obviously they r so funny. scotty & kirk i dont think any other combo on the enterprise is more enabling of each others specific brand of bullshit. uhura & everyone she is their BABYGIRL she is the most important person on that ship n everyone loves her as they should. the second favourite babygirl after the enterprise itself. scotty is the third fave btww. pavel & chekov they are like. daforge before there was daforge n kirk n that one klingon captain in the tribbles ep. why were they like that.
Character I find most attractive
bones. no i wont explain nor will i apologise. i'd fuck that old man.
Character I would marry
spock i would be great at being his girl husband. down to join the polycule also autistic i am logical for a human being and i like tea and big animals. not big on public intimacy and i dont make dumb jokes.
Character I would be best friends with
uhura or scotty. cannot elaborate but we would vibe.
a random thought
i dont think any TOS ship is fun monogamous. they need to be a horrificially large polycule or whats the point. they are the seattle polycule clickhole warned us about.
An unpopular opinion
kirk wasnt that feminist like yes for the time but he still very much so was a man written in the 60s by other men and idk i feel like painting him as 100% feminist w/ that one "a crewman" gif is disingenious. like definitely what abrhams did was a crime to make him even weirded! but idk people always want to focus on the best and its like grabbing so many women by the shoulders like that so often makes me very uncomfortable watching dhdfhfvhvf
My Canon OTP
aside from spirk which we all know is theres not an awful lot of big canon ships bc?? the writers r too misogynist i guess. i guess sarek n amanda they had no business being so cute. spock n that one woman in the sex pollen ep was honestly cute to me also. man just wants to do drugs and climb trees n she let him!
My Non-canon OTP
ah shit i dunno. again i really like what bones n spock going on they are so hilarious every time they interact onscreen. i liked the dynamic between uhura & scotty in the mirror mirror ep n obviously that one uhura & christine gifset... LADIES.
Most Badass Character
bones for him telling khan exactly where to cut his throat while the knife was to his neck. top 10 moments in cinematic history actually. uhura again when she did THAT to mirror sulu she's so fucking perfect she deserves the world i LOVE LOVE LOVE her.
Most Epic Villain
shatner's lack of acting skills.
Pairing I am not a fan of
tbh none. they all r either great or had massive potential or were just plain funny.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another)
every woman. especially the non reoccuring ones. what was going on with a private little war.
Favourite Friendship
uhura & chekov... jim & bones..... sulu & chevok...... christine & bones.... they r all so good tbh.
Character I most identify with
scotty or spock. i have autism spectrum disorder.
Character I wish I could be
i hate the idea of living in space so none
ask game for fandoms, ships & characters.

About your atla ship songs, I have a couple of questions (sorry if my phrasing comes out wrong, english isn't my first language and I worry it might across as accidentally defensive): how did you end up with the choices for zukka, jetko and yuekka (note: I haven't seen the great comet, so feel free to obsess over it, I'm intrigued now and the hype is appreciated!)? Sidenote: I think the mailee choice is HILARIOUS and the tokka one just make me sad, I didn't expect to be attacked like this😭
kdjfha;s i love you im gonna obsess SO HARD over great comet now. you may regret this
this is gonna be so long so the rest is under the cut whoops
yuekka: no one else from great comet
where do i even begin. WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN
okay so background information on this show: it's based off of a 76 oages excerpt from war and peace and its centered around a woman named natasha (and this guy pierre but he's irrelevant to this song so we wont worry about him) and natasha's bethrothed is off fighting in the war right now. she hasn't seen him in a while but she is in love with him.
every single lyrics of this song SCREAMS yuekka to me. the innocence and purity of their love. the love at first sight. and even the melancholy ending just- i go apeshit for this song. i love this song so much. and denee benton's voice??? kljsdhflwksugf please listen to this song if you haven't already. listen to the whole show. your life will be changed forever.
onto the lyrics (i stg this is ab to be the whole song whoops)
"the moon"
THOSE ARE THE FIRST WORDS ON THE SONG. natasha and andre (her bethrothed) met underneath the moonlight. Sokka and Yue first spoke to eachother at night and always met each other for their most intimate moments under the moonlight. also yue is LITERALLY the moon so like: right of the bat with those two words it's yuekka.
"and i saw your eyes / and i saw your smile / and the world opened wide"
sokka fell in love with yue the moment he saw her in the canal. she literally enchanted this motherfucker. everything about her made his heart go crazy. and 'the world opened wide' to me is from yue's perspective. Yue had never left the north pole and sokka had seen a good chuck of the world at the point. He took her on appa, he told her about his adventures. he saw the world yue wished to see and you know damn well that Sokka would have done anything to give it to her.
"oh the moon /oh the snow in the moonlight / and your childlike eyes and your distant smile / ill never be this happy again / you and i and no one else"
natasha sings fondly about the moon and the snow, seeing as it was where she fell in love with andre. yue and sokka LITERALLY fell in love in the same place: in the snowy nothern water tribe under the light of the moon. childlike eyes: THEYRE CHILDREN!!! distant smile: this is where it gets a little sad. theyre both children with way too many duties during a world that has known nothing but war for the past century. they want to be happy but yeah, theyre smiles are distant and far away because happiness seems out of reach for them most of the time. i'll never be this happy again: the moments yue and sokka shared together were probably the happiest either of them ever were. they were able to ignore the war and the world in the moments they shared together. and with no one else. no one else would be able to give each other this sense of peace and happiness and love.
"joy and life inside our souls / and no body knows just you and me / it's our secret"
Yue and Sokka had to sneak out in secret at night to go and see each other. Yue and Sokka couldn't be together for real because Yue was already engaged, but they were literally in love so she decided to see him anyways in secret. kasdjfhklasjd im losing my mind over them at this point.
"this winer sky / how can anyone sleep / there was never such a night before / i feel like putting my arms around my knees / and squeezing tight as possible / and flying away"
these are my FAVORITE lines in the entire song. yue and sokka had never felt this strongly about anyone before and that's why they are so drawn to each other. they had never experienced love before and they wanted to hold onto it for as long as they could even though they knew they couldnt. Sokka takes yue up on appa and she is wistful and wishes she could live like he does every day: ie flying away. oh my god these two deserved so much better. so much fucking better.
now for the saddes part. the saddest fucking part.
"maybe he'll come today / maybe he came already / and he's sitting in the drawing room / and i simply forgot"
natasha misses andre so intensely at this point. when i first listened to this show and heard this song i was like "wait a min... is andre like... dead?" and im sure i wasnt the only person who assumed that this was why natasha felt so sad by the end of such a beautiful song. (spoiler alert andre is fine)
but this line really exemplifies how sad natasha is, and hints at the fact that andre may never come back. it implies that their relationship is doomed (at least in my opinion) and that's all yuekka. Sokka misses yue intensely when shes gone. Yue accepted her fate almost immediately but sokka was in denial. he thought there had to be another way. but in the end it wasn't meant to be. and sokka will go on, loving yue, wishing for her back, even though it's not possible.
fuck im gonna cry.
zukka: all i've ever known- hadestown
"i was alone so long / i didn't even know that i was lonely / out in the cold so long / i didnt even know that i was cold"
sokka is from the swt so theres where the cold comes in. also in the gaang (initially) it was just him katara and aang. and katara and aang were much closer to each other than sokka was with aang and the two of them were benders so sokka was kind of an outsider with the two of them. He also represses a lot of his emotions and feels the need to do everything himself so i do see a lot of loneliness in sokka. and the fact that so many people in his life have left him (his mom, yue, his dad, suki briefly, etc...) he is known to keep people at an arms length. i see a lot of loneliness in sokka.
zuko's loneliness is a lot more obvious: he has literally been cast out and abandoned by everyone except iroh. and even then he still feels the need to be alone (remember zuko alone? thought so) these boys look after themselves and push others away and revel in their loneliness in order to keep themselves from getting hurt. at least in my opinion on canon and also some fanon because id be a liar if i said fanon didnt influence how i view ALL my ships (not just zukka)
"all ive ever known is how to hold my own / but now I wanna hold you too"
COME ONE MANNNN, they just wanna hold each other. theyre both very big protectors as well and kljhflkasdhg they wanna protect eachother like kljdhfl im gonna lose it rn.
"You take me in your arms / And suddenly there's sunlight all around me / Everything bright and warm / And shining like it never did before / And for a moment I forget / Just how dark and cold it gets"
SUNLIGHT SYMBOLISM. zuko is literally powered by the sun. i don't think i even NEED to elaborate on this one anymore lol. They find comfort in each other away from all of their trauma. when they're together nothing else matters and i personally love that for them. they both deserve love.
"I knew you before we met / And I don't even know you yet / All I know is your someone I have always known"
these two are extremely similar in canon. many parallels. older brothers overshadowed by their prodigy little sisters. longing to make their fathers proud (granted one dad is good and one is fuckin evil), both are pretty bad with emotions. both are seen protecting others before themselves (sokka protecting suki during the serpant's pass, sokka protecting toph on like multiple occassions, zuko protecting katara in the final agni kai), the list goes on. they know who the other is because they see themselves in the other person. they already know each other because they are each other (in a way, not entirely, but the similarities are strong in my opinion)
"I'm gonna hold you forever / The wind will never change on us / Long as we stay with each other / Then it will always be like this"
i just think this line is so cute and sweet (ignoring all the symbolism and foreshadowing that comes with the last line in the musical itself. im gonna pretend this is nothing but happy) and i think these boys deserve happiness so yeah. this song is zukka to me lol.
jetko: thrill of first love- falsettoes
if you've never listened to this song go an do it now. you will know INSTANTLY that it is jetko because of the dynamics alone. marvin and whizzer are pure jetko and i take no crticisms.
marvin and whizzer are both extremely stubborn, and they don't always get along, and they fight a lot, and they get mad at each other a lot, and they are both passionate as hell, and they will bring this passion into everything. they love each other that is without a doubt, but they arent perfect and they are once again stubborn and determined as fuck.
sound familiar? it's literally jetko.
the lyrics aren't what remind me of jetko, but the dynamic itself. the lyrics are too on the nose for a gay couple in 1970's america so that rlly cant apply to jetko all that much. but the way these two characters bounce off of each other and get annoyed with each other and argue with eachother reminds me of jetko. because let's be honest: these two are the most stubborn characters in the whole show. they will fight for what they believe and it will take literally everything to change their minds.
i love jetko but i think they would have petty arguments all the time and get aggravated by one another so easily. and this is even seen in canon: they work so fucking well together but they did not even HESITATE to fight one another after neither of them would give in and let the fight about whether jet was right or wrong about zuko being a firebender. like i cannot say it enough they are stubborn as fuck.
but underneath all that stubborn pettiness and bickering: marvin and whizzer still love each other. and jet and zuko would still love each other. because even though they are stubborn when it comes to arguments, they are even more stubborn and determined when it comes to each other. these two passionate motherfuckers are in love.
(now when i chose this song i decided to ignore the fact that this song literally spells out the fact that marvin and whizzer's relatinoship is doomed because they literally say passion dies. thats the difference between jetko and whizzer and marvin because i dont think passion dies. i chose this song strictly for the bickering lmao)
and i know you didnt ask about tokka but,,,,
i rlly wanna talk about the tokka one
so im going to
tokka: on my own- les mis
look. i KNOW this song is about unrequited love and i love tokka as a couple but,,, the unrequited love in this song just SCREAMS unrequited tokka to me so thats what i went with.
eponine is a girl who has neglectful parents who lives life by her own rules: toph. eponine is shown to be tough and confident and spunky to others but behind all of that she has emotions, she feels love, she hides her vulnerability so much: toph. she is in love with a guy she cant be with because he loves someone else: TOPH
eponine is toph to a t and toph is eponine to a t. this is not up for debate lmao
"without him i feel his arms around me"
toph is always seen grabbing onto someone (and its almost ALWAYS sokka) when she's somewhere where she can't use her feet to see. FEEL and ARMS cmon. look at it.
"and i know / i know that he is blind"
COME ON. IMAGINE TOPH SINGING THIS LINE. this line is already powerful enough in les mis but having toph, a blind character, sing it just makes the symbolism even deeper. toph sees the potential relationship they could have together. toph sees that sokka is oblivious to this. toph is not blind to the truth or the potention, but sokka is blind to her feelings. im about to lose my mind over this line.
"I love him / But every day I'm learning / All my life / I've only been pretending / Without me / His world will go on turning / A world that's full of happiness / That I have never known"
i need to sit down for a moment. toph grew up in a household where her parents did not understand her. she has learned to hide her true emotions and vulnerabilities from everyone. and its the fact that toph knows that she and sokka will never be together and the fact that she still loves him in spite of that is what makes this even more heartbreaking.
"but only on my own"
TOPH AND EPONINE SWEETIES I LOVE YOU

Boyfriend cheats on me with my step sibling so I get him kicked out and destroy his relationship with his parents
When I was around 17 I started dating a guy (19), I'll call him "Jake" for the sake of this post. Also age of consent where I live is 16 so nothing illegal happening here. We got on well, spent a lot of time together and cared for each other a lot. We even started talking about living together once we both moved out. We were a perfectly happy couple.
Or so I thought.
You see, after we'd been dating for a few months, something in Jake changed. He was getting a lot more distant. Whenever he was with me he'd be checking his phone constantly. we stopped spending as much time together and he started to get really funny about public affection, regarding things like hand holding and stuff. He also seemed to start caring less and less about my feelings. I used to have a bit of a thing for humiliation in the bedroom, nothing too far and we'd spoken about what Jake should and shouldn't say, but he started to get more and more degrading. He'd tell me how no one would ever love me and would pick on my insecurities, I actually broke down crying a few times when this happened. To give him a bit of credit, the first few times he did stop everything he was doing and apologise/cuddle with me until I felt better but eventually that stopped too and he just began rolling his eyes and telling me to grow up. He was like a completely different person.
The insults started to seep into our everyday life. He'd pick on my appearance a lot, bring up my family (I was dealing with a lot of family issues at the time), bring up the fact that I slept around before we started dating (a sort of rebellion caused by the family issues) etc. If got upset by it he'd just leave the room and let me cry by myself. I started to feel like it was my fault our relationship was falling apart, maybe I just wasn't good enough for him.
I knew deep down that he was cheating on me and that was confirmed when I got a message from a guy, "David", on Facebook telling me that he'd been sleeping with Jake. He apologised profusely and told me that he broke things off with Jake as soon as he found out he had a boyfriend. I couldn't be mad at David, it wasn't his fault. We spoke for hours and I reassured David that it wasn't his fault and that he'd done nothing wrong. David also helped me to stop making excuses for Jake's attitude and the way he'd been acting. He was a godsend.
The thing that truly broke me happened not too long after the cheating was discovered. We'd been arguing a hell of a lot more. Then he decided to do something absolutely unforgivable. You see, I had a stained relationship with my father for years. He'd cheat on my mother constantly and eventually, he settled down and had kids with a girl he'd been seeing behind her back. He did try to have some sort of relationship with me till I was about 13/14 ish and then decided that he didn't love me as much as his other kids and we stopped any and all contact. It broke me and it still hurts to think about to this day. Anyway, Jake went out of his way to find on of my step siblings online and slept with them. He bragged about it the next day and my step sibling actually posted online about what had happened and I received a bunch of messages from their friends telling me how I had deserved it. This was probably the lowest point in my life and I hated myself, partly for allowing it to happen and partly because I had started to believe what they were saying.
My only solace during this time was David (I didn't want to burden my friends with my problems and David was one of the only people who knew, first hand what Jake was like). We spoke for a few weeks and eventually talk turned to revenge. I had tried calling things off a couple of months prior due to Jake's awful behaviour but he started with the apologies and telling me he didn't mean it, he'd never do it again. He even spoke to some of my family members who, unknowingly, pressured me to get back together with him as we were "such a sweet couple". I hadn't wanted to tell them the real reason that we'd broken up so I kept the details pretty vague,though I'm pretty sure some of them had seen my step siblings post and knew why I didn't want to be with him.
After weeks of talking and planning, I had finally had enough and decided to do something about it.
My father wasn't exactly a rich man but he worked a pretty well paying job and earned enough money to live fairly comfortably. He had begun spreading rumours around when I was younger (during a custody battle with my mother) that he had set up a trust fund for me and that there was enough money there to get me set up in my own place when I was 18, plus a bit extra. I knew that this was absolute bullshit, he tried to get out of paying child support all the time, of course he'd never set up a trust fund for me. However, Jake didn't.
We'd never spoken about it a lot but he'd heard the rumours and I'd just always say what I told you folks, my father was an appalling parent who grudged paying my mother child support so why the hell would he set up a trust fund. But Jake wouldn't listen, he even did his own research into the type of job my father worked and came up with an estimate of how much he thought my father was earning. Though, to his credit, he did drop the subject whenever I asked him to, for a while anyways.
I decided to use this to my advantage. Jake and I were still dating though I avoided him at any chance I got. Until one night where I sat him down and told him that since I'd be turning eighteen in a couple of weeks, I'd started thinking about us getting our own place. With the trust fund my father had set up for me. He immediately cheered up at this and honestly I think that night was the first time in months that he'd said anything nice to me when we weren't in public or with friends/family. This very nearly made me want to call the whole thing off but I spoke with David later that night and he reminded me that Jake would go back to his usual degrading attitude in no time.
We started looking at flats, though Jake was "kind enough" to let me have the final say and handle the paperwork (because how could he possibly go out and cheat on me if he had to sort out the paperwork for a flat). I was a little surprised by this to be very honest as I'd always thought that he'd want his name on the paperwork and everything so I couldn't kick him out. But by this point he'd slept with my step sibling, degraded me, smashed my self confidence to pieces and cheated on me regularly, I think by now he thought that I wouldn't kick him out no matter what he did.
Anyways, I started taking up extra shifts at work to try and save enough money to actually move out. Not with Jake though, oh no. I was moving in with my friend, Emma. We had both been thinking about moving out for a while anyways and though, why not just be roommates. We found a cute little one bedroom flat that was close to our college and work and started getting stuff sorted to move in. I also didn't want to bring any trouble to my mothers door if Jake started kicking up a fuss, Emma had no issues with clawing the face off him if need be and told me not to worry about him coming to our front door.
Then came the next part of the plan. I waited till a week or so before Jake and I were supposedly moving into our own flat and stole his phone for a few minutes. He'd stopped caring about leaving his phone unattended and would sometimes flat out brag about how lucky he was to be able to sleep with whoever he wanted and come home to "a little bitch" who'd make him dinner. So that day when he went for a shower, he wasn't all too bothered about taking his phone with him. Perfect.
I went onto his phone, deleted my number from his contacts and changed the name of his mm's contact as mine.
Pleased, I went to the kitchen, smashed one of the plates (it was my mother's but it was a cheap one from a local shop and I did replace it as soon as possible). I just needed a reason for him to get pissed off. An, oh boy, did he get pissed off.
His first reaction was to text me, calling me all the disgusting names under the sun. Except it wasn't me he'd texted, it was his mum. I'd texted her in advance and told her that I hoped she'd forgive me but she had to see what her son was really like. She'd never tried to defend him as much as she just hadn't known quite how bad his behaviour was. She'd actually called him out a couple of times where he'd slipped up and been harsh with me when she was there.
She. Went. Apeshit.
I never found out exactly how their argument went as she phoned him to scream at him and call him out for his shitty behaviour, finally seeing how horrible her son was. It didn't help that she'd been sent screenshots of some of the times where he'd admitted to cheating. She was absolutely disgusted by her sons behaviour and phoned me to apologise on Jake's behalf. It wasn't her fault though, he's old enough to know how to act like a damn adult. He wound up telling his mum essentially that her opinion didn't matter as he'd be moving in with me anyways.
Needless to say when he called me on Facebook (after I deleted my number from his phone) I took some satisfaction in telling him that we weren't moving in together, that the trust fund wasn't real (I'd already told him that in the past, he just refused to listen) and that I'd moved in with Emma. I was called all the sluts and whores under the sun, his voice sort of turned into white noise after a while. I told him we were over and hung up. Blocked him on everything.
He had to run back to his mum and dad, his tail between his legs, and they took him back for a little while. Though after a bit, the arguments became too much and his parents kicked him out, he stayed with a couple of friends for a few months before he managed to get his own place. His parents, especially his mother, have not been the same with him since. I still talk to his mum on occasion.
Lastly, David and I took the liberty of sending screenshots of Jake's abuse to as many of the people he'd been hooking up with as possible. A couple of sleepless nights were spent trying to track people down on Facebook. Part of it was to get back at Jake but most of it was just to make sure that none of them got roped into a full on relationship with him and had to deal with all the crap I'd gone through.
So there it is, my little story of pro revenge. I know this is really long so there's a tldr below. I wasn't ever planning on posting my story but I was scrolling through Facebook the other day and one of Jake's new accounts popped up on the People You May Now section. After talking with Emma about it, she suggested posting it here, I hope it fits in this subreddit. Bye :)
TLDR
Boyfriend turns into a cheating asshole and winds up sleeping with one of my step siblings to hurt me, knowing that I do not have contact with my father. I play up to the rumour that my dad has set up a trust fund (he hadn't) trick him into thinking we can move in together and into ruining his relationship with his parents. He winds up getting kicked out, I move in with a friend. Also send screenshots of his abusive texts to all of his partners to ensure they don't make the mistake of dating him.

How My MC wins the boys over:
Ah, um, this really went off from the original story line. This was also supposed to be a short simple thing but then I started thinking and two hours later Im left with a bunch of messy notes and thoughts
The first to fall victim is:
Mammon turns out to be easy, literally MC just shows him an ounce of kindness and he takes it and runs. 
Unconsciously MC gets much softer around him then the others (A combination of total trust in him and wanting to show how much love he deserves despite his brothers treating him harshly) 
 hes the one that gets the most kisses, the most hugs, and its great for them at first because they get to make fun of the dumb ass second born getting doted on but some silly little human and (while denying it constantly) loving it. 
But then the others start to actually like MC and Mammon can nearly feel the six pairs of eyes glaring him down as his Human showers him with all the affection before going about their day. 
(There’s one moment where, while Mammons sitting on the floor and MC is on the bed and he's making fun of one of his brothers that MC just grabs him by the back of his shirt collar- with only a finger- pulls him in between her legs (So his back is to her) and gives him a kiss on the top of his head as she coos "Mammon, be nice to your brothers" and he shuts down for the rest of the day) 
Second, but the bestest of friends!:
With Levi its by being a grade A nerd and overthinking.
 She reads all of TSL for their big quiz, and watches the movies with Beel and mammon, but on top of that the nerd goes back to the books and starts to annotate everything. 
She starts digging for any bit of subtext she can find and jotting down notes in the margins, in her notebook, on sticky notes. 
It becomes enough of an issue that she has to buy a new set because the first (Old and used) ones she got off of akuzon are ruined with her messy scrawling.
 During the quiz they are evenly matched (if only because shes given such easy questions. Shes pissed but at the same time oh gosh she is really not up to Levis level) and somewhere along the way she just... Goes off about this theory of hers and reading the subtext because she needs to get this out and it seems like Levis the only one that can really keep up with her 
(She tried to talk to Mammon and Beel but, honestly, they're as helpful as you'd think)
 She forgets about the whole quiz and yanks out her vandalized book in order to debate with Levi about a part. Levi is horrified at the state of her TSL book and nearly goes apeshit right there, but then she shows just how much of a nerd she truly is by showing him the much nicer version she brought along
("And its even signed! Can you believe that! I didn't order a signed one cause they were too expensive but somehow the boxes must have gotten switched up! Ah! Levi! You have a shrine in you're room for them right! You should have these copies, I think you'll take more care of them then I can!")
Whenever they have a conversation its gibberish to everyone around them but they get it and that’s what matters.
(They spend nights just in his room and no one knows what they're doing so they assume the worst. The others always send Levi dirty looks when it happens, and Levi always looks a little more refreshed after every one.
They're having anime/gaming/TSL marathons but Levi lives for the jealousy that rolls off his brothers so hes not telling them anytime soon)
Somewhere starting after her pact with Levi and after the Lucifer/Satan Body switch:
The whole fiasco with Levi actually leads to Satan warming up to her!
 He had initially brushed her off as a soon to be Lucifer Lapdog (and also kind of dumb) but now he's interested. 
Someone whos capable of dissecting a book like that has to at least have some ability to reason, he just cant figure out if that moment was a fluke or if shes actually smart. 
He refuses to start a conversation with her like a normal person and instead resorts to pranking her at every opportunity hoping to see if she’ll think her way out of it (He does leave some hints for when ones about to happen, but gets frustrated when she walks right past them)
 It backfires on him tremendously because, somehow, they never seem to work! it goes to the point where it becomes rube goldberg levels of pranks that are always almost-but-not-quite misses because she bent down at just the right time to pick up a shiny rock. 
Satan is at his wits end and ready to rip someone apart
 his pranks start to extend to the others, it’s only after mammon mentions such that it finally clicks in her...
That same day she willingly walks into a pie in the face and Satan nearly cries. 
After he starts to rile her up more often with words. He learns very quickly that she is a fantastic debate partner and, if he can find the right button to push, he’ll get her going for hours as they go back and forth
(And!! Even better!! Not only does she listen to everything he says and waits her turn! But Shes willing to change her opinion when she thinks he has a better point. When she loses She’ll come back hours later to drag more information out of him.
That’s usually not the case though, because Satan finds way too much enjoyment out of playing devils advocate and will simply choose whatever is opposition her POV. 
He tried to argue about how she couldn't possibly like a flavor of candy she was eating because he didn't like it and nearly gave her an aneurysm)
(To his complete embarrassment, though, he has gotten hard during one of their debates and nearly lost because she looked fucking amazing as she shouted at him)
A bond that starts right at their first meeting and grows throughout her entire time there:
Beel is scary at first, and Lucifer- for some forsaken reason- made it her job to make sure Beel doesn't clean out the fridge every single day.
Shes scared of the man that seemed more then willing to eat her, but shes more scared of whatever punishment Lucifer would deal if she didn't at least try.
 So she goes
 It only takes her one run in with Beel and his puppy dog eyes (Because how could she just stop him like that!! How awful of her!!) for her to figure out that
 A: this man is harmless and...
B:she knows what hunger pains feel like and the guilt wells up
Still she knows she can let him go so she spends her grimm allowance on buying ingredients to cook with and makes him huge meals as "offerings"
 It doesn't always stop him from eating half the fridge, but sometimes it seems like he's willing to actually savor what she makes. 
It gives her enough time to save the ingredients for dinner that night. (and If Beel sometimes wanders over to the kitchen while shes watching so shell make something for him, well there’s no harm done
The bastard pavlov dogged her and shes none the wiser) 
Slow and steady, the pieces fall into place naturally:
Asmo turns out to be another easy one, to her shock.
Even with MCs jealousy over how stunning Amso looks and how easy it is for him... they just seem to drift to each other
Starts with a comment on Asmos sharp eyeliner one day, and Asmo asking MC what shampoo she uses. 
Then the next day the same brand shampoo (And conditioner) will be left outside his door. And after MC will walk into the bathroom first thing in the morning only to wonder whom the fuck applied eyeliner to her in her sleep
It starts with days where they greet each other in the morning, to Stopping to chat for a few moments before heading on with their morning routine, to them walking down together, to Asmo fussing over her disheveled look after just waking up ‘-seriously Asmo not everyone can just roll out of bed like some Demons and look stunning’ - to ‘MC move over a scooch I need more room’ ‘Asmodeus this is my bed’ ‘Well how are we both supposed to fit when its so small!’, to weekly spa days and Gossiping about the others.
Its such an smooth transition that they both feel like it had always been as it was- two friends whispering secrets to each other late at night, pinky promises made over arbitrary things, laying so close that they can feel the others breathing. If maybe he leaned in a little closer they would--
--Oh... She fell asleep again. 
And he curls up next to her, blanket wrapped around both of them (That is, until Asmo hogs it later) and sleeps peacefully
A build up of trust, and a moment of venerability that finally knocks down his walls:
Swallows her pride for Lucifer
Its hard to explain in words for her, but she tells him of her family.
A family that is good but dosnt care, that used to leave her alone for hours on end when she was far too young. She says it with a smile too, admits that it helped her become as independent as she was, that she could cook for herself before she was 10.
She tells him of her younger brother. Someone she tried her best to love as much as she could only for him to, one day, just stop talking to her. Years trying to build back an abruptly cut connection only for him to snap one day and change his tune to something much worse. A family that watched as he screamed at her, berated her and never did anything. How she still stood tall, how she swallowed back every tear and tried to talk to him with a steady voice- only for him to become angrier.
How, when he did try to snap at other members, she was always there to stand between them. How she was the one to chase him off or take the yelling despite her family never doing the same for her. How she was the stable rock of the family where no one was for her.
Physical violence was only once, but it was enough for her to know things would never change.
She was like him in a way, same but different.
and She cant bear to see the same thing happen to him.
She wants to help, she knows shes just a little, useless human but please she needs to help. She cant bare leaving another broken family behind without helping. Her life had been stagnate before them, unbearably lonely, and she just wants them to be happy, even if that means without her
 even if it means she has to shove her nose where it doesn't belong
So... please... Please... Talk to Belphie. Please. He said he just wants to tal--
(She had earned Lucifer's respect not too long ago, and - to everyone's shock- the revel of what she came upon does not bring upon Lucifer's fury. Instead, he feels a deep understanding that he’ll never say aloud
Shes still going to get lectured, though. But he is too.) 
It takes time:
Spends what probably amounted to most of her time in Devildom with that little fu--
(No, No. Belphie needs help, she needs to reel it in for now.)
She gets what it means to be lonely. Despite her distrust of the man who caged up in a place where the bad people are, you know, supposed to be caged up and tutored feels like she needs to do something- if only to make sure he doesn't lose his mind from the isolation.  
(Rethinks a lot of her life and how she spent just hiding away from everything. How she would lock her door and never come out unless the sounds of another fight reached her. Thought about how it probably messed her up more then shes willing to admit and refuses to let the same thing happen to him
Oh sweet summer child)
Less trusting of him when its reviled that hes the seventh born, but more willing to help. If only for Beels sake
Brings stuff up to his room, a toy, a fluffy blanket, food that she snagged last minute. He complains hes cold one day and she yanks off her own sweater for him
(It all gets flushed down the toilet when she leaves, he scrubs his skin raw thinking about how his room smells disgustingly like that fucking human now) 
And then, one day, it just... changes: 
A human stands between him and the fucker that locked him up in there, his brothers that never knew he was there. All of them watching him with such pity in their eyes and he didnt want it- he didnt want their p-
The door was unlocked.
He was free.
Just like that.
it made no sense. He learns that they-- She-- spent hours dancing around Diavolo, deals were made. A room where it was just her and The Prince of Hell, promises not even Lucifer knew (And some part of Belphie relished in the fact that it was eating away at the fucker) 
("All those hours shouting at each other paid off” She looks to Satan with a smile. A joke he was not privy to. Lucifer huffed but said nothing. 
How much had changed since he was locked up?) 
A slow, downward spiral 
They're never alone, someone is always with her or with him (Beel sticks to his side like glue. after so long he finally gets to sleep next to his brother again) 
He finds food in the fridge with the words “For Beel <3″ in this awful chicken scratch handwriting. Mammon’s screaming interrupts his naps one day and he wakes up to see her smothering the second born in kisses. Her shouting wakes him up as her and Satan pass, her voice becoming high pitched as they argue about... the number of toes humans are supposed to have???? (she sits down next to him and rips off her shoes in a fit of rage, demanding that Belphie count with her because what the fuck-
Satan sneers at her feet and tells the only actual toes are her two big ones, the rest are just digits.)
There’s traces of her everywhere. Layers of clothing haphazardly thrown about after a day at RAD and then neatly placed away. A mention of her name at the dinner table before shes there. Not even his and beels room is safe from her- he can smell her scent on Beels pillow. Faint, but a awful reminder of the human down the hall. 
He hates it, he wants to throw it all away. He wants to erase her memory from his home, he wants to ripe her apa--
A blanket is draped over him one day, and he cant bring himself to open his eyes to see who did it...
She talks to him, Or more like at him. The longer he stays freed the harder is it to hide his distaste towards Humanity and- especially- to her. He thinks shes dense, because he knows his brothers sense there’s something wrong (Levis tail wraps around her when hes too close, Lucifer stands between them, Amso pulls her by the waist. Close to him, further from belphie) But she doesn't. She pushes closer. She asks him questions.
She never touches him, one small blessing in Hell. 
Beel believes him when he bashfully admits one night that he may start to enjoy his time spent with human. And for a moment he feels guilty about the lie but its all for a greater goal
When its just the three of them, Beel leaves for a moment too long. To get snacks, to grab something from another room, it doesn't matter. This was the moment he waited for. 
She smiles at him, all kind and gentle (And the words that leave her lips are unheard through the blood rushing through his ears) and leans forward
He puts his hands around her neck
She goes limp.
He-
He needed to-
He couldn’t squeeze.
Beel comes back with the biggest grin on his face, arms full of snacks (”Here MC I got your favorite”) He sits on the opposite side of Belphie, leaning into him with enough weight that his own shoulder presses against MCs, mushing her against the wall. 
Despite her smile he can feel her shaking.

Also Reneigh for the character thing!
Ask me about my characters and I WILL yell about it
Reneigh <3 Ft. some very old art
Tumblr media
Sexuality Headcanon: She's aro/ace <3
Gender Headcanon: Frankly she's pretty agender, but likes the sound of she/her pronouns.
A ship I have with said character: Genuinely? None. She's never really cared about a romantic relationship since I developed her, and I haven't done much with her since I learned about QPRs, so I don't really ship her with anyone!
A BROTP I have with said character: Reneigh and Ivy!! These two are lovely little angelic babies and Reneigh is always a good shoulder for Ivy to simply lay on when the Hunters are driving them up the fucking wall. Supportive Mom Energy meets Quiet And Tired Energy and it just... it works very well. It's very sweet.
A NOTP I have with said character: Keep her the fuck away from Swan. I am looking at you, past Muse. I am LOOKING and I am JUDGING. But also I,,, do not like visualizing her in any sort of relationship with Malachai? He's under her care right now, but it's a lot more like a mother/son relationship than anything.
A random headcanon: She's supposed to be keeping a low profile as the remaining White Queen on the Earthen Realm, but she simply cannot help but grant blessings and provide healing when she sees people on the streets.
General Opinion over said character: She deserves NOTHING that I have done to her and I really appreciate her a lot. In my world where a lot of angels are kinda going apeshit, it's,,,,, nice to have one genuinely very good and kind one running around.

allllllrighty~ here’s my tHING~<3 i recognize that i talk pretty fast (and i was also trying to be hushhush so i probably didn’t come out as clear as i wanted to) so i’m including a script under the cut~
Tagged by @momtaku, @laffitine, & @dirtylevi ~ ♡ //thank y'all smmmmm// Tagging @shuuhuu @madcapraccoon @matcha-castella @starry-raven​ & everyone else on here who needs an excuse to do it and wants to. i’ll share the love and peer pressure asdkjfnak
'Aight, so here's my stab at Mamataku's SnK Voice Meme 4.0! I wrote a script to try and keep myself on track, but... the fuck if I ever know how to play right, so here we go~
State your name and username. 『sal, fivefootab-i-tch』 Is there a story behind your user name that you’d like to share? 『it's from an o.g. fandom video called "More Sassy Levi (Ezekieru Outtakes)". this was way before i was more or less tumblr savvy and i've gone through variations of it before settling on this one to mimic Ezekieru's pronunciation of BITCH. i'd wanna have a completely hyphenless version of this url to make my presence easier for the tumblr system to SWALLOW, kkkk but it's taken. the version of it with a 1 instead of the i isn't though... so maybe i'll switch to that one, i dunno. what's a brand?』 Where are you from? 『i'm from the states, southern california, bordertown asscrack of the U.S. you might get that lazy, high as balls, surfer feel from my voice since i've been here all my life』 How long have you been a fan of the series? 『i'm about two years late from the anime release, and i only know this because i immediately started writing fanfiction after binging the series in summer 2015. so... coming on 4 years? damn.』 What is your favorite and least favorite Arc? 『my favorite arc is the uprising arc, a pretty popular opinion, for a lot of reasons: the sudden turn of events, levi's collarbones, levi as a kid, KENNY, the characters all having their own unique identity crisis as their morals are suddenly taking turns, historia reclaiming her identity... (which was something that hits a little too close to home for comfort, but what's a good series that doesn't rip your personal feelings to shreds?)』 『i'm not a big fan of the marley side of things, another pretty popular opinion. for me, suddenly switching to a new cast of characters and setting after so much was accomplished in the uprising arc and return to shiganshina felt like betrayal. i mean... they get to the basement, which was the whole ass goal of the entire series up to that point, then we suddenly screech to a halt to tell someone elses' story. i can understand it... theoretically? i guess? bbut the whole time i was still like "wait a minute, what happened with the main cast?" bits and pieces of it have grown on me since, but i still have a ways to go to invest myself. politically, i just realized... marley really grinds my gears. why did i have to realize this? i'm shook. i can't believe this. i'll process it later.』 Do you have a favorite moment in the story thus far? 『eren screaming "the world outside the walls is my birthright" for... reasons. historia reclaiming her identity for... reasons... i've found myself hyperinvested in this series for immensely personal reasons i hope to eventually see through in my own life. i wanna be free, too. i also liked the moment in the uprising arc when levi thanked armin for saving jean. it was rough, but something he needed to hear. also any moment levi praises people. it's really cute.』 If you could resurrect one dead character who would it be and why? 『kuchel, because not only does levi deserve his mother but i would've loved to see more of her and how she raised levi into the compassionate kind of guy he is now. that side of him survived the tough love kenny put him through, so she must've breathed hella life into her kid and that's something i'd love to have seen more of』 Who is your favorite character and why? 『levi, for a lot of obvious as well as not so obvious reasons.』 『obvious reasons: he's pretty fucking cute. his sass and one liners are hilarious. his sense of humor's a clusterfuck of bad shit jokes and dark takes the people around him don't understand half the time and that's pretty funny in itself. he's o.p. as hell but the way the story makes it not matter when it comes down to it (because the universe is just THAT fucked up) is really something. he's in a league of his own but the depth of his characterization and development shows that's only a small part of who he is. the story demands so much more of him and the ways he rises (and sometimes falls) to the occasion makes me really like him. he's showcased as Humanity's Strongest but he's still human and flawed as fuck.』 『not so obvious reasons: he says fuck gender roles. he's short and makes the trans guy side of me feel pretty good. that particular character trait isn't just a gag for me. he started from the bottom now he's here. he always sides with the powerless, the helpless. he (to his own personal moral code) uses the strength he has for good as opposed to using it to keep people below him, something he could very well do if he uncritically internalized everything kenny spoonfed him, and wanted to. he doesn't sit on a moral high horse. he's open minded and accepting of letting people decide things for themselves. he's humble. if he doesn't understand something, he'll look to other people and he does all that while remaining confident and assertive in his own abilities. he doesn't hold himself above doing the dirty work if he feels he's best suited to do it. he genuinely cares about people and does his best to talk them through their issues when they need it, even if he's clumsy while doing it. it's really inspirational and personally validating .』 Any OTPs? 『erejean hits me a certain way. they're everything "boys will be boys" is SUPPOSED to mean, and i still can't get over jean calling eren cool. they're just so funny and i love their dynamic. hange and petra hits too for a reason i don't really understand yet. i don't get super invested in pairings, but i do like seeing character dynamics being explored in different lights and stuff. **** i bonded with my partner over roleplaying an au ereri thread, so that pairing's pretty special too. i didn't ship it at first, but being open to it has led me to getting to know this amazing person, so... yeah.』 You are able to transport to the SnK Universe for a day. How do you spend it? 『helping out. i don't know what i'd be able to contribute, but i'd want to be doing something to make the lives of the main cast easier. they have it really hard, and so many times i wanted to be able to do something for them. so i write my original characters into fanfiction. on the other hand, if it's a world where i'm independent and free to live whatever life i wanna live, i'd wanna go absolutely apeshit first. see everything there is to see and live all the life there is to live. ****perform a strip tease at a scout party and have the officers stick bills into my boobs.**** THEN commit myself to some sort of social or military work for the scouting legion. ****be their comfort... if yaknoe what i mean. it's good honest work~♡****』 Eren Jaeger did nothing wrong or Eren Jaeger did everything wrong? 『eren jaeger is what eren jaeger does. i can't vouch for whether or not he's right or wrong because there's no way i can really put myself in the situation he's in. mass genocide is very wrong, without a doubt, but something tells me there's something else going on and his real intentions are more complicated. a pivotal point in the series for him was his tribunal, where levi played the role of the arrogant wank to save his life and beat his ass before the whole military court. i think there's something similar going on here. he could be playing a role too, but it still stands that i have no idea. i'm not so invested in condemning or glorifying him, because the things i enjoy about his character aren't really going to be influenced.』 What is your favorite song in the series? Feel free to sing an extract 『i love them all. hiroyuki sawano makes such amazing soundtracks and all the vocals are powerful and chilling as fuckall hell. some favorites i do have are red swan, Vogel im Käfig, Bauklötze, call your name, it's answer song call of silence, youseeBIGGIRL, the spanish version of so ist es immer. so uh... even though i'm not very good at it, i do really love singing, so... i'm gonna try and sing some for y'all. i know a lot more english, japanese, and spanish than i do german so... i'm sorry!』 ****『Like the scarlet night veiling the dark You can hide your fear Can lie, my dear Kono mama yume wo mite Chi darake no tsubasa Hirogete』**** 『Las sillas ya juntas están Charlamos toda la noche  Este lugar no esta nada mal  Y creo que nos llevamos bien ****Solo estamos nosotros  Siempre es nuestra luz  Cantando y bebiendo, puedes estar tu Bajo el cielo azul  Siempre estamos asi  Y largas son las noches aqui』 『Ist das der Zerstörer oder der Schöpfer?』**** 『one of these days, when i feel more bearable to listen to, i'll... try and do some full ass covers, if y'all would be down for that ♡』 Bonus: What would Erwin do? 『about... what? everything going down now? i dunno. all i can offer is a dream daddy reference. he's chilling in Margaritaville somewhere... 』 Say the following: Wall Maria, Jean Kirschstein, Reiner Braun, Ymir, Theo Magath, Onyankopon, Kiyomi Azumabito, Hajime Isayama, Shiganshina Trio, Shingeki no Kyojin, Shinzou wo Sasageyo

the next day
Waking up next to Collins was something that James could never get over. Laying next to her surrounded by her mass of pillows, James had watched her sleep for hours. His overactive brain had not allowed him to sleep, and he had laid there watching her. The sun had risen, casting a golden light through her sheer curtains onto the bed where they lay. The light reflected off of her blazing hair, and his breath caught in his throat. He vowed to himself that if loving her was a sin, as he assumed it was, he would gladly go to hell for her. She burned him every second that she didn’t turn him away, and that was something that James would never truly understand. He had done more of his fair share of damage, and if he was in her shoes, he would have ran a long time ago. 
He thought of all of this again as he sat in the passenger seat of Collins’ car. He could feel the silent ripple of anger rolling toward him from the backseat, as Veronica fumed to herself; her eyes boring into the back of his head. He licked his lips, and adjusted himself in the seat uncomfortably. He had not realized that Collins had not already broken the news to her judgemental roommate, so breakfast had been a quiet, awkward event amongst the three of them. He was still picturing Veronica’s face as she had taken the largest knife in their kitchen to chop up her fruit. He winced at the mental image of it being an appendage that he was quite attached to and cleared his throat, pulling at his pants leg to give said appendage more breathing room. He pulled out his phone from his back pocket, and sent Damian a quick text, Collins invited me to the festival. I need you to come distract nutso for me before she goes apeshit.
Veronica felt her blood boiling underneath her skin as she glared at the back of James’ head. She thought that she had made her opinion of him in their apartment quite clear, but she still found herself in the back of Collins’ car as if she was a child with a weird step-parent situation. However, despite the situation that she was currently in, Veronica found herself giddy at the excitement of the festival. The large carnival rides were visible from a distance as they drove towards the fairgrounds, and her heart raced in anticipation, like a small child in a candy store. 
---
The menagerie of animals around her had been officially set up, as June brushed out the final tail on her collection of purebred Andalusians. Hombrecito - little man, her most trusted steed, stood hands taller than she could ever dream of being as she brushed and braided his parts of his tail hair. Working with horses was one of the only ways that June knew how to relax, and she had always said that horses had their own special way of communicating with humans. 
Minnie, their rescued circus elephant, let out a long erumph from her own paddock, as she was jealous of the attention that June was giving Hombrecito. June rolled her eyes at the noise, as Albert, who was making sure every animal was comfortable for the day ahead of them, stroked her trunk, whispering sweet nothings into her ear, and offered Minnie an apple, which she took from him graciously, tossing it into her mouth with a satisfying crunch. Braying came loudly from the space next to Minnie, as Jack and Jill, the rescued zebras, let out their own protests.
“You spoil them too much,” June called out to Albert, who chuckled at the idea. 
Albert stroked Minnie’s shoulder blade for a moment before turning to June, “Who else am I to spoil?” At this, Minnie flopped the end of her truck over Albert’s head, as if she were a hat. He batted her away with a swat and a laugh, “They deserve it.” 
Albert had spent his adult life dedicated to the preservation and rehabilitation of animals who were harmed or mistreated by humans. The menagerie around them was filled with goats, Scottish cows, sheep, as well as the random domesticated exotic animal. They had set up several expansive cages for exotic birds, as well.  Every year he brought his collection along to the festival to help gain awareness for the harm that is done every minute to an animal in need. June admired him for this, as she saw a side of Albert that no one else had dared to see. Finishing her braid, she patted Hombrecito on the side, and allowed him to move away from her and into his harem of mares. 
Johnnie, who was leaning against the horse paddock’s fencing, let out a sigh, crossing his arms across his chest. June raised an eyebrow at him, which he brushed off with a wave of his hand lost in his own thoughts. “It’s Miss Veronica!” Analise, Johnnie’s seven year old daughter, cried out from the paddock where the animals for the petting zoo were being held, and June and Johnnie turned to look the direction that she was looking, as Analise ducked underneath the metal gate and ran towards a small brunette woman heading their way. 
Veronica had immediately separated herself from Collins and James as they had arrived. She had given Collins an apologetic look as she turned the opposite direction. Hearing her name being called, Veronica spun in her spot and spotted Analise, one of her dance students, rushing towards her at full force. She knelt onto the grass once the girl had met up with her to get down on her level, and she smiled at her genuinely as she hugged the small girl to her, allowing Analise to be the first to pull away. “Why hello there, little monkey,” Veronica greeted her with a laugh. 
“Miss Veronica! I made it to pointe today!” Analise declared with a grin of her own. 
Veronica’s eyebrows rose at the news, “No way!”
Analise nodded rapidly, “Uh huh, and Miss Cassie said that if I practiced hard enough, I’ll be just as good as you some day!” 
Veronica’s heart warmed at this, and it took everything in her not to hug the small girl once again, “Oh no way, I bet one day you’ll be even better.” She poked the girl on the tip of her nose, which caused her to giggle. At this, Analise ran back to her father, and Veronica was left to her own devices. Veronica waved at the Walker family before excusing herself to wander amongst the market stalls, smoothing her hands over her sundress. Stopping at a stall that was selling fresh flowers, Veronica lost herself amongst the various blooms with a small smile upon her face. 
---
Getting out of the driver's side of his Rolls Royce, Atticus walked around the hood of the car to open Wendy's passenger door for her. Once she had gotten out of the car, he looped his arm around her waist, and pulled her close next to him, kissing the top of her head. He heard the thunderous trumpet of Minnie the elephant across the fair ground, and he let out a laugh, "Sounds like Minnie is excited for today's shenanigans." He let go of Wendy's waist to be able to hold her hand, intertwining their fingers. "I still cannot get over that the man bought an elephant; I'm starting to think that he might have too much free time."
"So, where to first, my love; the day is yours and your wish is my command," Atticus brought their hands up to kiss the back of hers. Despite his flirtatious nature, Atticus was madly in love with his wife, and he worshiped the very ground that she walked upon. Being one of Selcouth's finest skilled marksmen and hit men, he had never thought that he would find someone who truly accepted all parts of him, the light and the dark. Wendy had been a precious gemstone shining in the darkness whenever she had stumbled into his tattoo parlor, and he felt compelled to protect her from the grimy underground world that he was accustomed to. While she knew every piece of his long detailed history, Atticus kept her hidden away from the true family business, not wanting to tarnish her.

So I get when your SO isn't in town, you'd bring your sister, brother, friend... agent. But, when he's in LA and he's not at your table? Why bring him to Baftas? Why not bring him to gg? This is where I get lost...
Anybody’s guess, Anon.  There’s a big, big gap between my little horse farm in Ontario and the world these people live in.  I truly have no inkling of the politics or the etiquette of an awards ceremony seating plan.  Maybe she brought T to the baftas because it’s Scottish, he’s Scottish and interested.  Maybe she brought him because they needed balance so when the likes of us do a boy/girl/boy/girl count around the table it doesn’t look like Terry is missing and Ron is there with a different blonde  (surely I can’t be the only one who chuckled over that rumour)  Or maybe she brought him just because he’s her friend and she could.  It doesn’t have to be mysterious.  I don’t believe Cait is playing us.  I think she’s just living her life and we are reading far too much into things.  Tony has been her friend for a lot longer than we have been her fans.  She shouldn’t have to start hiding him or showing him off or fixing his hair or doing anything different now just because there are more eyes on her.   Awards tend to make me ranty.  Things get out of control and suddenly the plot changes and people get paranoid.  I wrote a post about my thoughts on T after Cannes…under the  cut if you want a read.  My opinions only of course. 
 Just like I don’t believe that MM is anything to Sam, I also don’t put any stock in a Cait/Tony romance.  I believe she’s known the guy for ages, trusts him, and has likely brought him along to act as a friend, confidante, support, safe escort, and more than once, assistant.  He’s only shown up at awards ceremonies, Cannes, Jodie Foster’s star ceremony, tennis matches and in group shots with Cait and her group of friends.  
If your best girl was operating on the intense schedule that Cait is, wouldn’t you make a point of going to her in between these important dates?  Wouldn’t you be hanging around the set?  Wouldn’t you be showing up once in a while in the pictures taken of the cast at the pub?  Wouldn’t the whole cast and crew know you and respect Cait’s decision and not be making innuendos about your girl and her costar?  
At the Jodie Foster event T was photographed in a circle of people including JF, Cait, and other well knowns and Purv had her way with us until Photo Anon educated us on the use of perspective and proved that T was actually standing far in the background, not included.  JF didn’t know who he was.  Wouldn’t she have if he was the SO of one of the actors she’s been working closely with for  months?
At Cannes he was seated behind the stars with the other assistants, he was always in the background holding her glasses or purse, there’s a picture of him behind Cait, looking over the shoulder of her handler, checking a phone., and the only posed photo of the two of them includes Cait, T, Jack O’Connell, and Jack’s childhood bff/turned assistant.  Yes, there is footage of him arriving in the same car as Cait but he got himself out of the car, didn’t give her a second glance, left her to fend for herself, no eye contact, and the event was a photo event that did not include SO’s.  Cannes is a stuffy, old-boys club deal, steeped in tradition, Cait is a rookie and she’s there with the likes of JF, Julia Roberts and George Clooney.  Do we really see her approaching them and saying ‘Tradition bedamned!   You do you, but he’s the love of my life and I’m bringing him!’
At the Premiere, we all saw him  when Cait came in.  She did give him a hug, but then they all took their seats, he didn’t help her with hers, and sat staring straight ahead while Sam hung over her waving his pinky finger at her thigh.
On my master list of reasons to believe C and T are a couple, these are my ‘cons’.   My ‘pros’?…He shows up.  That’s it.
We’ve said that any SO of Sam or Cait must be the most understanding people in the world.  Well, flip that around.  What about a woman like Cait?  What about her in the role of SO?  Doesn’t she deserve a man who helps her out of cars, helps her with her theater seat, goes apeshit with pride when she wins a BAFTA, and demands more than to stand in the background holding her purse?  She does, and she’s self confident enough to know it and not settle for less.

no. just no.
I've already been through this phase and I refuse to accept this happening again. I don't wanna feel like this anymore. I never wanted to. and I've been through so much more than that and still am but this thing fucks me up like it was a huge deal.
it's 2 am and I still can't sleep and all I can think about is how fucking stupid I am and this whole situation. why? why does it have to be me? and why does it have to be her out of all people?
I didn't ask for this and I'm so done feeling this way. it's been over a year and it's still there. I get it, I'm not supposed to be happy. but there are so many other stuff that's so much more important so why is this thing all I can think about at 2 am in the morning?
no. I don't want this. all I want is to be able to sleep when I want to without any unwanted thoughts about her.
I have no clue why this is even such a big deal for me, I've been through so much and guess what I'm thinking about? about shit that fucks me up for whatever reason.
I just wish I was able to let go of this shit. I wanna get over it, I want it to be over. this is not even funny anymore, it's been so long and no matter what I do it's still there. goddamnit. I just wanna think about something else, like yknow the important things that are going on or just something else, ANYthing else. but I always keep on getting back to those thoughts. about her. and I'm so fucked if someone I know personally reads this but what the hell am I supposed to do? I can't talk about this with anyone. I can't write about it anywhere else. I have to get this out of my head. just like that.
at first it was okay like yea whatever that's the way it is. I never expected this feeling to get stronger and stronger after time and fuck yes if it could just go away I'd be so damn grateful. why tho. why does this have to be? why does it have to simply be there? why the FUCK do I have to fall for someone I can never obtain? for someone who never liked me that way back? for someone I never had a chance with and will never have a chance with? why? why can't it be someone else? why her? what did I do to deserve this?
this situation is beyond frustrating. some days I don't even get bothered by it that much but sometimes like tonight it's just fucking me up man. holy fucking shit. I'm not even mad anymore I'm almost going completely apeshit.
I wanna meet someone. like meet someone else. someone who will treat me right. who's there for me no matter what. who gives me hope and gives me a reason to wake up every morning. someone who makes me laugh when I'm at my worst. someone who does everything they can to help me when I'm breaking down and freak the f out. someone who lights up my worse days and makes the good days the best days of my life. basically.. just someone like her without being her.
feeling so stupid dear Lord. can anyone like please hug me I just really need a hug. this things rough. I never thought I'd be so puzzled because of someone. so crazy for one single person. this is madness. pure madness.
like I don't even know what the hell my problem is. I'm so happy with how things turned out, that I'm talking to her again and maybe even be able to call her a friend again some day. she was the best friend I needed and besides all that crap that makes me go insane this is good. I never fought for someone that bad, I never wanted to have someone back that much. I don't know what it is, if it's the way we joke around or the way she understands me so well, better than anyone and sometimes even better than myself. maybe it's none of that.
maybe it's just her.
cause she's so fucking amazing just the way she is. with every little thing. I never saw myself being so cheesy as I am when I think about her before, I never before felt this way and it's stressing me out. so many years I had no idea how anyone could just get to know someone like really get to know someone and everything they went through and what not and still say that they're perfect. what even is perfect tho. I don't even know how to explain this but after all this time she's still perfect to me.
it's not about how good someone is at something or what a great life they have or how flawless they are. hell no. it's all of those things that you would expect to make someone "less perfect". their perfect imperfections. it's basically everything that makes them who they are. and I don't care what anyone else says about this or about her but I won't change my opinion on that. people talk a lot of shit about everyone, about her and me and seriously everyone and I won't let someone's stupid opinion influence the way I think/feel about someone. she's perfect to me. end of story.
and if I only could be anything like her and get my shit together so I wouldn't have to be awake at 2:51am not knowing how to deal with my stupid feelings that no one wants. I wouldn't have to rage on about how much I hate love. because hell yes I hate it. it sucks and I want it to stop.
I don't want feelings when they are one-sided. I wanna move on but I can't. I can't let go of her. I don't know why but I can't. I tried everything to get over her but I can't. and this indeed is fucking stupid.
it's even more stupid that I can't manage to stop posting anything about this but what else am I supposed to do when I can't talk to someone about it? didn't wanna mention that but it's just wonderful when someone tells you if you're feeling down because of whatever you can talk to them but when you DO try to talk to them about it they're like "you know I won't talk with you about this". why thank you. but this person's dead to me anyways.
3:00am. guess I'll stop writing now and try to get some sleep. not that I tried that for hours already haha.
if anyone read all this well congrats you made it through another upset post I'm wrote while being simply frustrated and unable to cope. would be nice if anyone could message me tbh but no one's doing that anyways. oh well.
that's it.
