i’m so happy to meet people who like this AND are active you make my day also stu and billy showing randy how to fuck by fucking reader in front of him just a thought just a little request love u

HAHA I LOVE THIS IDEA LOL. Wasn't planning on posting a drabble today, but I couldn't resist. Hope you like!

TW: NSFW. GN!afab!Reader. Cucking. Stu being a douche lol. "Teahing" in quotations.

---

Lesson Plans - Stu Macher x GN!afab!Reader. Implied Randy Meeks x GN!afab!Reader

Randy felt like his world was simultaneously ending and opening up to him at once.

Watching this, watching you, watching Stu... it all felt like trying to focus on a fixed point in the distance while fireworks exploded around him. He couldn't get harder if he tried, and it's a realization that had him cursing under his breath in both arousal and shame.

"Fuuuck dude. I had no idea you were squandering this kinda blessing, man." Stu half gasped, half laughed as he continued rutting into your trembling frame.

You look up at him, eyes barely focusing and tongue practically lolling out, before you lock onto his blown-out blues. The grin he shoots back down at you has you shivering. He looked like he wanted to devour you.

"This is supposed to be a lesson Stu-pid." Randy gritted out, the sudden sound of his voice earning back your attention. Stu chuckles and gives a particularly deep thrust that had you gasping out.

"Yeah, yeah I know, man. But, like, it's just-" He catches his bottom lip on his canine as his pace picks up, his eyes not leaving you for a second. "How do I teach you to be a good lay? Just eat 'em out, let 'em cum, put it in, find the angle - BAM!" He punctuates the last expletive with a well-angled thrust, his left leg lifting up to plant his foot on the bed to lean into you to drive home. "Waterworks!" he chuckles.

If those words had come from any other frat-boy, surfer dude wannabe you'd be rolling your eyes straight into your skull. Yet, despite the clear clown genes jumping out, you had to admit, Stu did know what he was doing.

"Hey!" Randy barked out, shifting and sitting up in his chair. "This isn't a free fuck session dork. Show me what you're doing." Randy's mounting frustration at Stu's clear apathy towards his end of the "deal" was showing, so you decide to shift your body towards your beau, moving your hands down to rub at your engorged clit.

"H-here. This is the angle R-R-Randy!" You practically pant like a dog as you try and give him a good view of the position you and Stu are in. Stu ignores this clear play at you re-including Randy and cuts in obnoxiously.

"Oh fuuuck yeah, baby. Love when you touch yourself. Love seeing that and feelin' you clench. How 'bout...this!"

Stu adjusted himself once again, somehow hitting your swollen insides at an even better angle than before. Over and over pleasure wracks your body. But the real boon was Stu's large hand slapping your own hand away as he took over rubbing your clit, nearly mimicking your movements from earlier to a T. It felt amazing. You could say a lot about Stu, but he was surprisingly observant.

"This is how ya do it Rand." The blond's voice dips down a few octaves, sounding almost gravelly or predatory, and you gulp when you realize he still had his eyes locked on your face as he says it.

Your head falls back, and you're unable to even look at Randy anymore. Shame would've crept up on you if you weren't six seconds from tipping over the edge and cumming around Stu's large pistoning cock. When you do hit your end, what comes out of your mouth is a warped portmanteau of their names, something you know Randy would pay you back for deliciously tenfold later.

Your head lolls over tiredly, looking over towards Randy as Stu pulls out and jerks himself on your stomach with a hiss and slew of compliments. To your surprise, Randy doesn't look nearly as mad as you thought he would. Maybe it was the white ribbons of cum coating his bare chest or the fucked out expression on his face that made him look less upset than he probably was.

You lock eyes with him. Stu's saying something, going on and on about how fucking hot you were and how you were tighter than any of his exes before yada yada. You weren't listening. Your focus was on your man, one who you knew would be more than eager to replicate Stu's technique later. You almost lick your lips at the thought.

"- oh and MAN, Billy would love ya Y/N. He thinks you're hot anyway. Hey Ray, we should totally get him in on-"

"NO."

#stu macher x reader #randy meeks x reader #stu macher #randy meeks #slasher x reader #slashers x reader #ghostface x reader #ghostface #slasher imagines #you cant tell me Randy isnt into cucking okay #as long as its not Billy he's into it #he just pretends he's not #deal? what deal? that was a front for Ray to see his partner get fucked by another man lol

what's your favorite era (appearance, characterization, etc.) of adam warlock? you're like the #1 fan of adam warlock 😍👌

This is no joke anon I'm incapable of being normal about Him.

My favorite comic Ever of All Time is the classic 70's Warlock by Jim Starlin!!! What is there to say about it even it's simply THE quintessential Adam Warlock story and I think everyone should read it :^) it has it all... unavoidable tragedy, evil alter ego, martyrdom, blatant anti-christian allegory, catholic guilt, suicide, existentialism, nihilism, funky visuals that make it obvious it's the 70's and everyone's on drugs, the wizard of oz, clowns, shark in space, Adam/Soul Gem OTP, first appearance of The Magus, Adam's first time meeting Pip/Gamora/Thanos, Thanos killing Adam, Adam killing Thanos, Adam and Thanos kissing in a tree (ok I made this last one up) etc.

Also Adam's perfectly coiffed hair + sideboob/bootyshorts look goes hard as hell I refuse to hear otherwise.

My other fave looks <3 Counter-Earth + Infinity Gauntlet/Infinity Watch/Infinity Crusade

I like Roy Thomas/Mike Friedrich's baby Warlock, he's cute, but Jim Starlin's Adam is the most specialest boy in the whole universe I LOOOOVE HIM with my whole heart and everything Starlin has written with Adam and/or Thanos is near and dear to me.

I think there's at least something to like about every "era", I love the Magus, I love the Goddess, Adam's big queer gender self-discovery adventure is definitely a highlight, I LOVE the Infinity Watch... I am admittedly a bit of a Jim Starlin purist though, Adam (and Thanos) written by other people always just feels a bit off and ranges from ''bad'' to ''pretty good'' but I'm fond of Annihilation/GOTG Adam by DnA too.

Definitely though my BIG FAVE era besides Warlock is the combined last two trilogies by Starlin, Thanos Annual + Infinity Revelation/Relativity/Finale & Infinity Siblings/Conflict/Ending + Infinity Entity + Thanos vs Hulk + GOTG: Mother Entropy. I know that's a lot but it counts as one in my head lol.

Best comics ever actually, I was already obsessed with Adam and Thanos beforehand but these really irreversibly rewired my brain so there's no hope for me anymore. For context you must understand that by the time these books started rolling out Starlin hadn't written for Marvel in a decade with no sign of returning so I lost my fucking shit when they were announced lmao. I had already accepted that we wouldn't get any proper sendoff/conclusion to Thanos and Adam's character arcs after some 40 years of slowburn because that's just the nature of comics but!! WE DID!!! Starlin came back and gave them an actual ending, he tied up his version of these characters with a nice little bow, while it's obviously still left open for other writers it frankly doesn't really matter to me what anyone else does with them going forward because I'm satisfied with the story that's already (almost) entirely contained within Starlin's work. Not that I won't still complain if they're terribly ooc but that's not My Canon, you know.

Like. I would sit here with my tinfoil hat on and conspiracy theory board out connecting the dots and yelling about the growth between Adam and Thanos and the overarching themes/motifs... Just endlessly speculating on how this tentative friendship of theirs would even work since we hadn't actually gotten to see it in action since they Officially became Friends™ in the very last issue Starlin wrote before leaving Marvel for 10 years and no other writer wanted to touch them. Big thoughts about how it's all REALLY about loneliness and love and TRUST and redemption, how Thanos is desperately in love with completely obsessed with Adam, how Adam in many ways mirrors Mistress Death, how perpetually aloof Thanos learns to genuinely and wholeheartedly trust in Adam and how opening himself up to the living (Adam/Eros/Gamora/Pip) gives his life true meaning, how Adam and Thanos literally cannot exist without each other or they'll self destruct... THEN my guy my dude my very bestest pal Jimbo strolled in and casually validated all my inside brain thoughts by further expanding on the pre-established themes and making all that more explicitly canon and I just had to grin and bear it and pretend I'm normal. like???? HELLO????? IT FEELS SOOOOO GOOD TO BE RIGHT ABOUT LITERALLY EVERYTHING

The juxtaposition between these books and his older work (Warlock in particular) is actually so satisfying to me too. The numerous callbacks, echoes of past storylines, the role reversals... I know some people hate how repetitive Starlin's storylines can be but I love the consistency, this infinite loop of death/rebirth that Adam and Thanos are stuck in narratively really highlights how they change (or don't change) over time, it works perfectly for them both in text and metatextually. The becoming God and blowing up the universe for the 50th time doesn't matter it's about the friend(s) we made along the way.

Anyway. I've actually grown to really like Adam's outfit in these books too, it's very old school but I'm into that... a glorious return to pointy shoulders <3 (he matches with Thanos hehehehe)

Okay that's all. He is my special little princess.

#I feel like this is maybe more than you asked for but augh I just. I have FEEEEELINGS ABOUT THEM #Also sorry I cannot separate Adam from Thanos if you let me go on for long enough I always end up talking about them both lmao #Adam really used to show SO much skin but then he became emo and started wearing black huh #anonymous #text

what's your issue with the dentist? i never understand people becoming adults and still having this fear, it's like being scared of doctors

anon i'm going to take this as a good faith question and say that it's nothing personal against dentists lmao. for me it's a combo of two things:

i have complicated gnashers. my ehlers danlos effects my connective tissues, and connective tissues are found in gums, dentin (the bit under your enamel inside the tooth), and nerve structures in the face. all this to say: my teeth move in my head, and my jaw moves misaligned from my face sometimes. PAIN, anon. and as with a lot of medical types, dentists don't tend to be super educated about this. to make it more complicated my front teeth are adult teeth as they should be, but everything incisors back are still baby teeth, and have no adult teeth waiting to come in. so my wiggly teeth give me a lot of anxiety bc every wiggle or pang reminds me i've held onto these teeth way longer than i have any right to. last complication; i'm anaesthetic resistant. dentists are scary for me bc frankly, the great majority of them know less about how to handle my gob than i do, and they hold the pointy things.

the second thing is **tw dental trauma* as a child my teeth held on for dear life despite being loose for months and i always ended up having to get them pulled bc the tooth fairy has deadlines to meet. anyway one such time i got a dentist who was very old and shaky, and he pulled not only the loose tooth, but also the one next door that was not loose. it's not a good memory and every dentist's chair feels more or less the same. hence: a long lasting fear associated with all the sensory trappings (noises, lights, textures, tastes etc) of a dental office.*

I hope that very personal explanation goes some way to encourage you to consider that experiences aren't universal within an age bracket, and that people can have a lot going on under something like a common fear that you might not be able to predict or understand. some adults will be afraid of the dark, or storms, or dogs, or clowns. that doesn't make them not adults. there's no such thing as a childish fear, and even if there was, we all carry our child-selves around w us, so it all comes out in the wash.

#i normally wouldn't go quite so personal but the idea of there being fears unbecoming for adulthood is so discompassionate to yourself #so i hope everyone enjoys my fuckin dental memoir lol #i've got mail #long post #also if you're disabled/chronically ill/mentally ill you know well there's plenty of reasons to be scared of doctors #but thats a different essay

I’m interested to hear about your OCs.

what’s their name, their job, how they met their partner/s (if they have them), etc etc

hell, tell me how many freckles they have 😆

You are so sweet, love.

I have a great number of them for a variety of short stories and novels I have worked on, but of those that would potentially interest followers of this blog (i.e., pregnancy/mpreg head canon fans), that would apply to some of the following.

Limber - early 30's, actor and theater professor at a performing arts college. He is fond of musicals and campy drama plays. He sucks at cooking, but is adamant that he could improve with time and effort (he can't). He has a tumultuous relationship with his parents and siblings and doesn't tend to talk about it. He's recovered from years of an eating disorder and worked through it well. He's not much of a reader, but will deeply analyze recorded plays and movies. He absolutely sucks at board games but can be surprisingly good at casual sports. He's been married to his husband, Moriarty, for six-ish years, and they met near the end of their college careers. He and Moriarty, at present, have had two children at some point, and as much as Limber is very embarrassed to admit it, he does enjoy the process of pregnancy and wouldn't mind doing it again.

Moriarty - early to mid 30's, psychologist focused on child development and parenting education. He absolutely adores children and babies. He's the cook between him and Limber, though he can be guilty of cooking things that aren't the most healthy more often than not. He is close with his mother, but he moved from Austria to attend college in the US, and has since lived there with his husband and doesn't see her as often as he would like. He has something of a heavy accent and a laugh that's prone to startling people, but Limber adores it. He actually doesn't consume a lot of media outside of material for his job, but he does really like bad action movies and the entirety of the "Law and Order" franchise. He mostly likes to run and hike, but without anything playing, which his husband thinks is sociopathic. He loves Limber and their two children, but he does love seeing Limber pregnant and hopes he will be willing to have more.

Cricket - age unknown, a rabbit-person magician. Cricket is a rabbit magician, formerly a stuffed toy, come to life. They enjoy performing a great number of magic tricks that they come up with themselves, learning new types of dance, and doing something rabbits are known to be very good at ;). They have a deep personal relationship with Maurice, their intimate companion and "Lovely Assistant", with whom they frequently perform magic and dance shows with, and even are likely to engage in something akin to slap-stick comedy. Given that "Conjuring Cricket" has magical abilities beyond their tricks, they and Maurice are equally likely to pop a baby or two (or more) in their bellies.

Maurice - age unknown, a rainbow-clown-marionette. Maurice is a marionette covered in rainbow stripes and made to emulate the appearance of a colorful pierrot clown. He loves to dance, write poetry, and engage with Cricket "in the manner of the French", as he would sarcastically say. He and Cricket have a soulful connection and he loves to serve as the "Lovely Assistant" in Cricket's magic shows, include them in any of his own performances, and play around with laughable comedy. Maurice adores all of Cricket's tricks, including and not limited to anything involving having a little one or two.

Y'all are so sweet to ask about this. Feel free to send other if you want to. This was just so lovely. <3

Oh, and none of these four have freckles, ha ha.

Chapter 250

Next day

Amber

"Hello." I say after getting 5 phone calls from my father in the last 3 hours. "Is everything okay?"

"I heard that there had been a fire out in California."

I blow. "Stop watching the news. I'm not even in California."

"Doesn't Chris stay in Everlakes?"

"You made that up. No."

He blows. "Figured he would have been burned to death."

"Wow." I roll my eyes. "Okay, bye."

"Bye, baby. Glad you are safe."

I shake my head. "Chris is not that bad. You do too much."

"Speaking off Chris. He's planning something top secret for you. Hope it's not a damn proposal."

"Wow. You must have been sipping the grape juice at church. Bye, now."

He blows again. "Love you, sweetheart."

I toss my phone at the couch. He knows he should do better. That was fucking rude as shit. My dad never been so mean towards Chris. I don't know where it suddenly came from. He must have some ancient stone age technique for predicting the future. Too bad Chris already asked me to marry him and we already having a baby. I roll my eyes. He really pissed me off in the middle of this ridiculous video shoot. I'm ready to fucking go.

"Baby!" Someone yells.

Everyone looks around. A few people keep looking. Everyone else goes back to work. I stand up trying to get a view of what they see. It's a shit load of balloons floating from a pair of skinny ass legs and Jordan's. I sigh. It's my loose end.

"Baby!"

"Chris." I say.

"Bae!" He says sitting the balloons on the floor. "I love you."

I hit the get well soon balloon. "Christopher, I'm not sick."

He kisses my cheek. "Sick of my shit. I'm sorry, okay."

"Okay."

"I got dinner reservations."

I stare at him. "Is my father coming or something?"

"Damn." He says staring at me confused.

"I'm not a witch. My father called."

Chris shrugs his shoulders. "He couldn't wait 20 minutes? Gotdamn."

"He been calling for hours."

"But I just talked to him."

I shrug shoulder. "Called about a California fire."

Chris shakes his head. "Damn, he pissed and he don't know it's about a baby. Might fucking kill me then."

"Nevermind that."

"I figured that as soon as one of my exs get wind of you being... you know that it will be leaked. Minus well tell your parents today. Trey wrote me a speech. I forgot it."

"Trey, huh?"

Chris kisses my cheek. "Yeah. I know you got a lot of shit to handle before you have to take a break. I know you might not be ready to be Chris Brown whatever. You know? I just want you happy with this baby. And happy for us."

"Listen to my stomach." I say rubbing my belly.

"How the fuck you gonna ignore me?" Chris snaps loudly.

I touch his face then start rubbing it. "We need to talk."

"What the fuck about?" He spats still drawing attention.

"Nothing if you keep fucking acting like a stupid dickhead!" I yell. I blow my face up then inhale. I blow it out slowly. Then say in a calm voice. "Christopher we have a secret. Are we in a place to talk about that?"

Chris throws his hands up then looks around. "You didn't say that."

"We stating obvious shit?" I cover my mouth. "Can we stop talking til we talk? Damn."

"Yeah." He says salty walking away.

I call Cammie. "Where are you when I need you bitch?"

She giggles. I suck my teeth. It's not Cammie.

"You the bitch." MiMi says.

"Where my best friend?" I say then suck my teeth. "Anyway I'm not in a playing mood."

"What's wrong, Bae?" Cammie asks.

I sigh. "How I supposed to connect with this nigga like this?"

She giggles. "I was bout to say fuck him. Now is not the time."

"That's what I wanna tell him." I snap.

"But he not gonna handle that well at all."

"Now we all going in fucking circles. Fucking circus clowns."

She sucks her teeth. "Bae I never been in a stable relationship while pregnant. MiMi come talk to her. You was in a relationship through your pregnancy. Oh yeah."

"What she say?" I ask.

"She said that me and her were not good while she was pregnant. Okay Bae just go ahead and apologize for all the stupid arguments yall bout to have. Cause baby I don't fuck with Chris like that when I'm pregnant."

I blow. "He did something sweet and my ass like so. You did what should have been done. Then my fucking daddy tripping. I ain't ready to hear that mouth."

Cammie sucks her teeth. "It ain't his business so he just better be glad he finding out."

"Thank you for that perspective." I nod.

"And another thing... we go around here talking about a name and what it fucking means. Fuck what other people think about you and your name. It ain't like your ass some lightskinned big ass fluffy hair ass bitch. The world gone shit on your name regardless cause they ain't happy with them fucking selves. Fuck a name. Fuck fame cause the same bitches giving that shit out the ones fucking judging your ass."

"Okay." I say frowning. "We still talking bout me?"

She sucks her teeth. "If the shoe fits."

"I miss you."

"I don't want to hear it. I been in this house all week with just Caden. Nobody fucking loved me then."

I giggle. She already knows I have to take breaks from her shit. Then I fucking miss her ass and her damn dysfunctional family. I roll my eyes at the director of the video. He has been signaling for me to come finish the shit. I feel like I'm finished.

"I need to write Chris a letter."

"Good idea so you can say what you need without that attitude."

I stand up from my chair. "Can someone find out if Chris is still here?"

"He is right there." A girl says pointing across the warehouse room.

"Oh." I say walking away. "Bae I might call and tell you what's up. A big fat ass maybe."

"That fine. Your ass not a real friend anyway."

I smile then hang up. Even if she didn't solve my problems she reminded me that fucking people not perfect. I'm not completely ready for this baby. It's scary but the shit is okay. The flip side could be so much worst. Having a baby with your long time friend aint top of the chart drama. Only thing fills it with drama is Chris name. Everything is fucking good.

MiMi

I walk into the den where the big TV is. Of course I would find Devin in here. He is sitting there eating with King at his feet. King jumps up when he sees me and run over to me. He is the cutest little baby. I hug him back. He hugs my leg.

"The ref cheating." He says.

"The ref cheating?" I giggle.

He sits back down and starts eating. "Yeap. Bullshit play."

I sit next to Devin and watch the game a bit. King jumps up throwing his hands in the air as the referee walks into the middle of the field. Devin laughs a bit with his mouth full.

"That no out of bounds!" King snaps. "Bullshit."

"Does he know what he talking about?" I frown.

Devin smirks. "He a bit hard on the refs but yeah. He caught it before he went out of bounds."

I shake my head. "Kids are so different. JJ would never."

"Naw he wouldn't."

"I'm sorry." I say as the commercial comes on. "I know you did a lot to get us here. I know I can't live like Cammie cause she married a millionaire. Like I don't try to keep up with her. I just really wanna be on this show and the anticipation is making me a wreck. It would be nice to be recognized."

Devin kisses my cheek. "You'll get your 15 minutes Bae. You just not a dedicated dancer like Cammie."

"Yeah."

"Aye." He says kissing me again. "Stop that shit. You could've been dancing in Chris Brown concerts and videos too. Yeah? Hell he would put your fine ass in one right now. You want me to ask?"

I shake my head. "No. I just wanted to say thank you."

Devin gets in my face. "You haven't been putting yourself out there to get recognized. If thats what you want then you need to get to work."

"I don't want to over do it. You know like wearing a white prom dress to someone wedding."

"Naw, I missed that one." He frowns cutting his eyes at the game.

"They took him out." King snaps.

Devin looks at me. "What you want? Your own dance studio?"

"I don't know. I don't think so."

"Maybe post some new dance videos."

I sigh. "I plan on doing some closer to the airing of the show."

"Put some out of you and Cammie now. So that way if she blow up people will search her and find you."

"Piggyback off her attention?"

Devin kisses me turning to the TV. "Yeah. Yo! What the fuck was that?"

"Real football." King snaps.

"Naw man." Devin says like King an adult.

King was responding like a little man. "That's how it done."

"Get out of here." Devin says blowing.

"Sorry team." King retorts. "Cheating ref."

"Whatever lil nigga. We don't need to cheat to win. You bout to see some real football."

"Bullshit." King throws his hands up.

"I know you not." Cammie says from the door. "You getting too into that football game. You forgot who house you at?"

King sits down. "No maam."

"You can watch football without cursing. Yall sitting up here letting him curse."

"Oh." Devin sits up. "I thought that was you Tyga."

King cuts his eyes at Devin. "You team suck."

Cammie rolls her eyes. "King that's your team?"

"Yes. They win. They play real football."

"Okay." Cammie giggles then leaves out.

JJ comes into the room carrying a bag with Chick-fil-A on it. I roll my eyes. He stands in front of the TV watching it. He eats a fry like he too into the TV. The ref throws a flag again sending King into a rage. He seems to understand when his team gets the flag thrown on them. How old is this baby? JJ laughs about it then goes to Devin.

"Daddy where you been?"

"I was at home boy. Where you been?"

JJ digs in the bag. "Grandma Joy sent me hot fries."

"Let me see." Devin says digging in the bag. "Yo where he get these?"

"Joyce had them delivered." I roll my eyes. "He has a gift card and a debit card in his suitcase. I don't know what's on it or what it is for."

JJ gets in Devins way of the game on purpose. "Daddy?"

"Son." Dee says looking around him. "Man fuck this game."

"Cause it how you play." King snaps.

Devin changes the channel. King comes over to JJ's bag not caring about the game getting turned off. I must have missed the end or something. King starts crying. JJ looks at the door. Not me or Devin his fucking parents. He looks at the damn door. He digs in the bag giving King a fry. King wanted to get his own fry so he goes digging in the bag. JJ dashes out the room. He not sharing no more fries obviously.

"Monk?" Devin says touching my thigh. "I walk around here trying to make you happy with material shit. That ain't what you about."

"I'm not."

He kisses my thigh. "I'll be your cameraman. Get you a group of troubled teens that you can teach."

"I wanna be in a movie."

"The pretty only black girl?"

I chuckle. "No like a stomp the yard or save the last dance."

"Ghetto. You fucking ghetto."

"I'm just gonna focus on this show. You've done enough. Okay?"

He kisses my thigh again. "Alright."

"Bae, let's go." Cammie says walking in the room.

"Where?" I move Devin.

Cammie hands me a bag. "Studio. Trey has the kids."

"All of them?"

"Hurry before he realizes it's King, JJ, and Lane too."

Devin sucks his teeth. "Hell naw."

I get up and run. Devin about to start with his insecure shit. He annoying with that shit like I'm the one cheats on him. I'm going to remember to check everything of his because he too persistent with the acquisitions. It's usually him cheating and reflecting.

"I need this." I say getting in the car.

"Bae, I'm so sick of Caden's shit. He glued to me. Won't let me do nothing."

"Minnie before Trey. Devin won't keep her cause he too busy worrying about me fucking somebody. I'm playing detective when we get home. He suddenly super husband fulfilling my every need."

"Yeah we'll see." Cammie huffs.

sorry to bring it up again and for this being so long but seeing your villain enjoyer post I had to wonder why it is that so many people have let's say 'weird' opinions on villains and I think it's because all three types - the ones thinking enjoying a villain makes you an evil person, the woobifiers that want to erase all the hard edges and the edgelords that want them to be soulless monsters - don't seem to really understand what villains are which is characters that serve a certain purpose in a story. this purpose can of course vary but by nature of being villains and thus usually antagonists their purpose for the most part is presenting an obstacle for the hero and - in a good story - that way driving the hero's character, story or relationship developments forward. and since Batman is a superhero story this usually means that the villains will have to pose some sort of threat big enough for Bruce himself to deal with it as well as pose as a 'dark mirror' reflecting whatever (negative) characteristics of Bruce currently need developing. This then means that the villains have to be bad people and have to be violent, mean or otherwise dangerous enough to validate their place as the story's antagonist. of course you could also have a villain that isn't a bad person and acts out of desperation, but not all villains can be like that or else the story would grow stale and you'd miss out on other angles of the hero's character that could be developed through facing a more evil foe. And similarly on the other side having all villains be one note evil horrors all the time deprives the story of complexity just as much and especially in a story like Batman can be very very counterproductive since that's exactly why you get fandom discourse like "Batman should just kill his rogues" - because if the rogues have a daily kill count in the dozens it is really hard to justify Batman's no kill rule. if the rogues don't have any humanizing moments or character traits it'll make it hard for the readers to believe why Batman would see the possibility for reform in them, why he gives them so many second chances instead of just ending them for the sake of public safety. Yes you can argue that Batman doesn't kill and believes in reform 'on principle' but unless you show the audience exactly why he doesn't kill - not just through words but through personality and actions - unless you make the audience see and feel for themselves why even after all this time Bruce still believes that his rogues have it in them to change and become better people? Then the audience is going to see the no kill rule as a standardized rule of the story that they have to begrudgingly accept despite it being irrational in the face of villains that kill a hundred babies just for the sake of a joke - and not as something born from Bruce's personality and compassion and a maybe fruitless but in the end reasonable hope for betterment. Like ffs idk why it's so hard for a lot of fans - and writers unfortunately - to realize that these are characters serving a purpose and that they have to be both dangerous foes and not-good people with unsavory traits and hard edges but also fleshed out characters with enough humanity and potential for reform - even if it's just tiny rare sparks of it - in them that Batman giving them second chances seems like an understandable decision and not just a plot limitation from the readers' pov...(this is ofc not to say that Batman can't have 100% evil villains, just those shouldn't be the ones he's trying to reform but rather villains like Falcone or Strange that represent societal evils. Or alternatively have it be one (not all. never all) of the villains he's trying to reform but have that be for the sake of Bruce's character development or so that the story can examine why he believes in reform the way he does, and not just because "oh look evil clown man eats children's faces! Look how edgy and dark and mature and cool this is!")

same anon so I hope this isn't too much but I felt the need to explain that with my ask I didn't mean to say that there should never be versions of these characters that go to more extreme lengths of villainy or alternatively versions that are decidedly less 'evil' or violent than their usual counterparts. those versions should exist - since they can be very interesting - as long as they serve a purpose in their story and aren't just there for the sake of edginess or woobification. I'd say a good example for this are the two newest non-comics versions of the Riddler from The Batman (2022) and Batman: Unburied respectively. The movie version is very much a villain that the audience is simply meant to hate, his hyper-violence - especially the part where he instructs his followers to 'mow [innocents] down like sheep' - as well as the way Bruce reacts to him make that very clear, but as a character he's still not just violent for edginess' sake but serves the movie's message both as a stand in for a real type of people that the movie wants to criticize as well as by being a horror image held up like a mirror in front of Bruce to push him out of his own hyper violent mindset. The podcast's version on the other hand is the opposite: a character meant to be likable - which is made obvious both by his position as a co-protagonist and by Bruce and Barbara's reactions to him- and - while still a criminal that's a far way from being a good person - a villain that's seemingly not particularly violent (at least in comparison to some other versions of the same character), but he still doesn't come across as 'too soft' or woobified because his characterization serves to illustrate the podcast's points about police brutality and corruption as well as its point about the treatment of convicts and rehabilitation and also serves to further Barbara's character development as well as the audience's entertainment, being a fun entertaining character and all. So yes villains don't all have to be in some sort of middle ground limbo of moral complexity they can be very evil or very likable even -this isn't to say that either of the two iterations i just referenced aren't complex characters of course - but like I mentioned in the main ask? It's all about their role in the story

thank you for the great asks anon! no need to apologize, i enjoyed reading your thoughts. very good points - the root of the problem wrt the weird ways people treat villains is that they forget that villains are characters in a story, meant to serve a purpose. they aren’t autonomous agents making their own decisions, they are written to be a certain way. it’s silly to want to reduce them to pure evil (or get angry at fans for daring to like them) or go the other way of basically removing their evil. and like you say, there can be villains that have little/no redeeming qualities or complexity, and villains that are highly sympathetic or likable, but it can’t work if they’re all like that. as a superhero, batman needs serious threats to ‘justify’ his existence - his villains need to to do nasty things in order to explain why he’d go after them in the first place. but, as you do such a great job of explaining:

“Like ffs idk why it's so hard for a lot of fans - and writers unfortunately - to realize that these are characters serving a purpose and that they have to be both dangerous foes and not-good people with unsavory traits and hard edges but also fleshed out characters with enough humanity and potential for reform - even if it's just tiny rare sparks of it - in them that Batman giving them second chances seems like an understandable decision and not just a plot limitation from the readers' pov”

you can’t let them be just cartoonishly evil either because then it calls into question batman’s ‘no kill’ policy - why should we, as an audience, buy that batman truly holds this ideal and that it isn’t simply there as a lame excuse to not kill off villains (even if that might be the ‘true’ reason for it)? there needs to be something there that can give batman hope, however small, that his rogues can change. his policy should feel like a deeply held belief and code, not an editorial mandate.

and using those two recent non-comic riddlers as is a great way to show the dichotomy. reeves-verse eddie is an entertaining villain (with some sympathetic qualities) while still being one of the most evil/destructive interpretations of the riddler. he is a dark mirror to batman, like batman villains generally are. battinson wants to do good for gotham and its people. he thinks he is. the realization that he inspired riddler, inspired the man who almost killed alfred and flooded the city, shakes him to his core. battinson gets so angry at him partially because he’s horrified by the thought that he caused him. his epiphany about gotham needing more than fear, about becoming hope for gotham is because he emphatically does not want to be like riddler.

on the other side there’s unburied riddler, i haven’t listened to it yet but from what you say and the posts i’ve seen he seems like a great depiction of a more sympathetic, understandable riddler. and then you have most other riddlers which sit between these two examples, in that middle ground of moral complexity. all can be good and interesting interpretations, so long as they are well written and serve their purpose in the story well - not just edgy for edgy’s sake or defanged and boring.

#thanks for the asks! always appreciate getting them #and unfortuntely fans treating characters like theyre real people doesnt just apply to villains #like ive seen people get angry at heroes for like. displaying negative traits? having flaws?#where the 'criticism' amounts to 'this character was MEAN' or 'this character did something that doesnt make sense (to me)'#its one thing to get annoyed at double standards because sometimes writers will show favoritism towards certain characters #and yea that can be annoying #and lord knows inconsistent writing is a problem esp in comics #but sometimes its really just fans getting annoyed that a hero is complicated and not perfectly nice all the time #and ofc real life biases can come into play here bc fans tend to be way harder on female characters and characters of color #woops im going on a bit of a tangent #just fandom things!!

Hi! I was just watching a video about Genshin lore (specifically its real world inspirations) and that got me thinking bout how the characters would react to this in SAGAU.

My main thought is how funny Childe's reaction would be to Tartaglia meaning the "Stutterer" or Scaramouche meaning "the little skirmisher".

This is just what I can think of, I'm interested in hearing your take on this

Okay so in attempting to sus out scara's lore in the past I HAVE looked at the Commedia Dell'arte and its implications/cultural impact. the characters weren't so much Peoples Names as they were stand ins for people in society you knew. Interestingly enough, Commedia Dell'arte is (if you couldn't tell from the latin root of Comedia) a comedy- usually slapstick, and I wouldn't put it past the devs when we Do see them interact to have bits of physical comedy like something falling on Scaramouche or Dottore tripping to his doom.

As for the relationships between 'archetypes' in CDA and the actual Harbingers, this varies and goes as such-

DOTTORE- his archetype is the Obstacle to the Young Lovers (more abt that later) and speaks of many subjects but has expertise in none (according to wikipedia). He is a comic foil to Pantalone (we might see this manifested as crazy doctor/stoic captain in the Harbingers) and is often- wait for it- cuckolded. Seriously! Man can't catch a break! What's interesting is that Wikipedia mentions the Dottore archetype as something still in popular media- in Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper. That blows my mind. As for how he would react to the accusations of such archetypal behaviors? [Bear with me, I haven't read the webtoon.] I think he would find them quite funny, as one of the versions of Dottore in the plays is called Dr. Hack-and-Slash. I think we may see his character mirror his archetype pretty closely. HYV, Dottore when????

LA SIGNORA- Directly translated to The Lady, in the CDA, she is the wife of Pantalone and wears revealing clothing and heavy makeup (not too far off). She is known for being high class, and schemes as much as possible to get what she wants- money, clothes, other stuff. She also cheats on Pantalone. (Personally, I can't wait for Pantalone's debut as a Harbinger. He has a lot of importance in the actual play/s.)

Well. This is pretty self explanatory.

Interestingly enough, her past with Rostam and their backstory as lovers doesn't seem to have a connection with the CDA.

As for how she would react, let's ask this pile of ashes- kidding. She would probably smack you for calling her promiscuous and kick you just like Venti.

SCARAMOUCHE- will you do the fandango? No but seriously, the Queen song that references pulls from the actual clown character of the CDA, also (like mentioned above) called Little Skirmisher. Scaramouche has significantly more pop culture adaptations than the previous two (OUR GENSHIN VERSION MADE IT ON WIKIPEDIA) and usually tells a story of a servant or masked henchman with villainous traits. Yes him being short as hell is canonical with the CDA.

Furthermore, a fandango is a partner dance. Since every version of Scaramouche that I can see is pathetically single, I hope our boy gets a happy ending. There are a couple of media instances of someone of otherwise non Scaramouchian nature becoming the Scara in a traveling CDA show, which also lines up with Scara's own backstory of being a wanderer. (No event spoilers here, dw.) He seems to not be a character born, but made.

He would despise every bit of his perception. He would especially despise how Genshin fans see him. The man has Napoleon syndrome. He would not take this well.

TARTAGLIA- my boy. My baby. Let me first start off by saying his etymology for all three of his names makes him so, SO interesting. On the one hand, his Liyue codename Childe, directly translating to Young Lord or Young Master in the CN version of the game shows he is making a name for himself and is treated with respect amongst high political figures- or at least, was. The name Ajax is a Greek hero (much like the origin of some Enkanomiyan names, hmmm) who is the grandson of Zeus (seriously) and is incredibly battle intelligent. He has a half brother in the myth called Teucer who wielded a bow and shot from behind Ajax's shield. Ajax eventually goes bloodthirsty when Odysseus recieves armor of victory instead of him, because he believed he deserved it for the great valor he had fought with. He slaughters an entire flock of sheep before coming to his senses, seeing what he did, and committing Teppei. I feel like this may be story beats Hoyoverse includes in his story alongside Tartaglia's lore, because Tartaglia/Ajax/Childe cannot exist without the presence of the other two. THAT BEING SAID, here's a breakdown of Tartaglia.

Tartaglia is described as dainty and farsighted, which doesn't mesh much with what we know about our lovely Ajax. He does have one main quality in common- being lower-middle class. I've touched briefly on class on this blog before, and Ajax being working class puts a perspective on him being recruited to the Fatui at 14. Actual real life militaries employ similar tactics to low income, traumatized kids, often because they have no other way to pay for something like college. Ajax having a traumatic moment in the Abyss and then having himself recruited into a (maybe?) nationalist regime is something mirroring the beats of real life. He often appears as one of the lovers in the CDA, and I'm personally glad HYV changed Tartaglia from the CDA to the Ajax we know. He's such a balanced character with elements of both inside him, plus completely new storytelling elements like what the Abyss does to someone, what defines 'humanity', and how nationalism of the nature of the Tsaritsa's is harmful and hurts everyone involved. If I were to tell him of his etymology and origins, I would tell him he is both the hero and the tragedy, the fighter and the lover, the one who would give up everything for his home and the one who has nothing left.

I end his analysis on this note-

His real name is Ajax. His real self is Ajax. In his full storytelling truth, he is the tragic hero of Greek myth, a story far older than the Commedia Dell'arte. We aren't even close to done with him yet. And I think he knows that too.

This is a SAGAU blog, but I think at some level, Ajax is aware of where he sits in the universe. He knows his destiny is full of big battles and victory. I think he knows the myth, maybe not in words, but in the way he feels when he picks up a weapon. He is reaching for power so much higher than himself, breaking out of his role as the Young Lord or the Stutterer or the kid who fell. He's going to make himself an archetype. In a way, he already has.

V3 Boys With an Overdramatic Fem!S/O

Sigh.

That's all he does is just sigh.

He tries to word things in a way that wouldn't make you feel the need to do any theatrics, but sometimes it can't be avoided.

"S/O... We can't go on our date tonight. I'll be too caught up with work, and... there she goes."

He watched as you rested your hand on your forehead, falling backwards onto the couch, telling him to "go, go on without you".

He jumped when he heard dramatic organ music, and looked to see Kaede playing ab organ right in your living room.

"K-Kaede?! When did you-? Why is-?! How-"

Kaede shrugged, pressing the keys as you continued your monologue.

"She hired me, and I get to play an organ!"

It's a good thing he has patience!

He doesn’t quite know how to keep you from reacting in the way that you do, so he just lets it happen.

“S/O, my dear, you know that I’ll gladly support you through any emotional turmoil you may face...but all they announced was that this was their final season-”

He watched as you laid across your special fainting couch, whining about how you would have to suffer when your favorite show ended.

“Hmm... I never knew that human emotions could be so fragile before I met you.”

Kiyo didn’t mean it in a bad way, but he regretted saying anything after seeing your reaction.

“Now, now! All I meant was that, according to the studies I’ve conducted, most people usually save these dramatics for the theatre.”

Kiyo, stop talking.

“Really, I think you may have a natural affinity for it, S/O! Nobody would be able to compete with your over exaggeration of the emotions that you display, not by a mile~”

Kiyo. Stop. Talking.

A match made in Clown Hell.

The Drama King and Queen.

I hope everybody around you has prepared themselves because there is absolutely no turning back.

If somebody were to insult you, you’d act like you’d been shot in the heart, falling into Kokichi’s arms.

“No...NO! S/O! Why? Why would you do this to my precious Queen?!”

Here come the crocodile tears.

Don’t worry, it works the other way around too.

“What did you just say? You think we’re overdramatic? WAAAAAAAAAAAAH, I CAN’T EVEN EXPRESS MY EMOTIONS ANYMORE!”

The two of you could fill a pool with how many tears you produce.

Sometimes Kaede plays the piano for dramatic effect.

“Kaede, will you stop encouraging them? This is a serious problem.”

“I don’t know, I just think it’s kind of funny.”

He's just... over it man.

Ryoma just really does not care anymore.

Every time he tells you news he already knows what’s coming.

“Well, S/O, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I heard the dog dies in the movie.”

Cue his girlfriend crying and monologuing about how the poor animal deserves to live!! He deserves to live!!

“...are you done yet?”

Everyone else in the movie theater lobby was staring at you after you’d been wailing about how Hollywood deserves to perish for their crimes.

Ryoma didn’t really like being the center of attention, so he just grabbed your hand and led you to the movie, a little embarrassed.

He doesn't get it :(.

"Why is S/O acting like that? It looks like her emotions system has gone into overdrive!"

He looked at you rolling around on the floor, after your favorite characters in the book you were reading kissed.

"Sorry, but us meatbags don't have hard drives! Not like you have any idea what it's like. She's just being dramatic, tell her to quit being such a drama queen!"

"I refuse to tell my girlfriend how to live her life! I will comfort her instead!"

He bends down to your level, and attempts to comfort you.

"S/O, don't worry! I will do everything in my power to make sure you're feeling better once again!"

He's so used to eccentric people that nothing fazes him anymore.

“Here she goes again. Thanks a lot for bringing it back up, Kokichi.”

You started to cry about the death of your favorite character, how they shouldn’t have been killed off so early. They barely had time for any real character development! Oh, the humanity! When will the pain end?!

Kokichi laughs because he knew you were going to do it, which is why he brought them up in the first place.

Rantaro crosses his arms and lets you complete your monologue.

“She’ll get tired eventually.”

I mean, really, it would’ve been so much better if that other character had died in their place! They were super boring throughout the whole game anyways, everybody probably forgot they existed most of the time because they were soooooo irrelevant to the plot!

“Mmmhm. That’s nice, baby.”

He’s not even paying attention, he’s flipping through a magazine.

He actually buys into it.

He actually listens to every word that you say when you tend to talk on and on about the tiniest things.

Talking about how that dastardly butterfly scared you half to death by landing on your shoulder?

“Gonta make sure butterfly no can scare S/O anymore!”

If you “faint”, he rushes to catch you, and gives you a piggyback ride.

“S/O should be more careful!”

Freaks out whenever you get overly upset.

"Miu no should say bad things to S/O! S/O is very upset!"

Gives you giant hugs to help you calm down.

"Gonta will always be here to cheer up S/O!"

Doesn't know how to react.

He always tends to forget how dramatic you are, so he says things without realizing that it may upset you.

“Yeah, some guy tried to fight me earlier today, but-”

Kaito? Someone was trying to hurt your Kaito? But why?!

He frowned as you started to cling onto his jacket. You told him how you regretted not being there for him in his hour of need, and how you were basically the "worst girlfriend ever".

"Hey, S/O! You know I still love you, right?"

You weren't listening as you told him how you understood if he broke up with you.

Rolling his eyes, he grabbed you and kissed you to make you shut up.

"I said, I love you! You're such a drama queen, S/O, I'm fine! It'll take a lot more to faze Kaito Momota!"

Bringing Your Girl to the Cookout: Class 1A Girls X Black!GN!Reader

I didn't have time to do a whole lot but I did want to do a little something! Hope your day was enjoyable! Happy Valentine's day AND Black History Month!

Yeah, you don't have to worry about Mina. She knows what to do.

She brings some yams and you spend half the night making sure no one slanders them.

Not that anyone would. They're delicious.

You in the kitchen? She's right by your side, helping you bring the food out.

Visiting with the grandparents? She's charming them effortlessly with her bubbly personality.

Dealing with your hatin-ass aunties? She's dishing it right back with a smile.

You love her so much.

She knows all the dances. The cupid shuffle. The electric slide. The wobble. She knows some you ain't even heard of!

Your cousins love her.

In fact, a few of them love her a little too much, and you gotta remind them who she came with.

"AHT! That's MY girl. The only one she backing that thang up on is ME. Get to stepping."

She laughs, more than a little happy to hear you call her yours.

Momo, bless her heart, did not understand potato salad.

"Why don't we just get some from the store?" "Baby my family will clown me until kingdom come if we bring store-bought potato salad."

She was excited to help you through!

"How's this?" "Mmm, needs a little more salt and pepper."

It was all worth it to see everyone watch her as if she was an angel when the two of you arrived.

Probably won't dance with you, but has a plate or something to drink waiting for when you sit down.

Everyone already treats her like she's part of the family.

Your grandma already told her she can use the family veil in the wedding.

"Granny we're not even engaged-" "Then get a move on! I don't have all the time in the world to wait!"

Ochako surprised you on how well she can throw down in the kitchen.

Your momma was so mad somebody made her signature greens until she got a bite.

Now she giving you the 'if-you-don't marry-her' look and you're low-key sweating.

She also loves the kids, and they love watching her use her Quirk.

She asks you to make her a plate bc she trusts you to know what's good and you almost swoon.

Everyone loves this absolute sweetheart.

She doesn't know any of the dances, but once she sees them she's got the moves down.

She has a great time, and you're so glad to see her so happy.

Everyone doesn't really know what to think about Tsuyu at first. She seems a little distant at first, mostly sticking to you.

But as the night goes on, she opens up and everyone loves her calm personality.

Your uncle's are impressed at how good she is at poker, and you don't have the heart to tell then that you taught her how to play like two weeks ago.

Always asks if anyone wants anything when she gets up, and always remembers to bring it back.

Also made the mac and cheese everyone's been raving about.

You helped, but the two of you were both so excited to see her do it herself.

She steals your jacket later on and snuggles into you bc she gets cold, and you think she looks absolutely adorable.

Kyouka, bless her heart, cannot cook to save her life.

However, her punch is the bomb.

You are so glad you convinced her to make two pitchers and bring the stuff she uses to make it bc everyone loved it.

She tends to stick to you all night, but she's still happy to say hello to everyone.

Your cousins start clowning you and you have to resist the urge to start swinging.

"It's the dating a girl who looks like a Japanese version of Hayley Williams for me." "It's about to be the broken ribs for me if you don't shut up."

She gets anxious and you have to explain that they don't mean anything bad by it, and that it's just how y'all communicate a little later to calm her down.

One of your little cousins started learning the guitar, and you convince them to let her borrow it.

The two of you end up doing a duet and it's super cute.

You try to give the guitar back but lil man won't take it.

"You want me to keep playing after that? Nah!"

She offers to give him a lesson, and you don't see her again until you make her a plate and go to give it to her.

The way she smiles up at you has you falling in love with her all over again.

The two of you made chicken. Toru had never had your chicken before, and after one bite she was in love.

She scared anyone who had the nerve to say it wasn't that good behind your back.

She also "accidentally" spilled her water on one of your cousins's friends who wouldn't stop trying to hit you up.

Hey, no means no amiright?

She always manages to get the last of your favorites right under people's noses.

Sits in your lap most of the night since people just tend to accidentally sit on her if she sits in a chair.

She also knows most of the dances, and the two of you dance the night away in each other's arms.

OMG HAPPY 2OO LUV!! ILYSM, AND YOU DEFINITELY DESERVE MORE!! AS EXPECTED I'M HERE FOR THE MATCHUP EVENT AND I'M SO SORRY FOR BEING LATE KSDJFHSDF

1 | name : amie 2 | pronouns : s/her 3 | preferred gender : doesn't really matter 4 | self-description :

— it's ya clown sho <3 anyway, i'm an ambivert but more inclined towards the introvert side. my MBTI is INFJ and i'm a Gemini. i'd describe myself as someone who's very observant? yea, i guess. i'm awkward and you know it. My favorite color is blue, specifically sapphire, but i love all pastel colors. My fav show is Chicago Medical and all the psychological and crime thrillers out there are my favorite ( silent patient is my #1 though ) I love painting, playing piano and basketball!

— what i look in a partner you ask, uh, someone who can tolerate my silence. there are times when i go quiet for a whole day, i'll barely speak, no interaction nothing. i want someone who'd not exactly 'deal with it' but 'understand it.' also, i want someone who i can talk to without any hesitation. i have a hard time opening up so i don't do it but when i do, i spill almost everything. i might cry, might have anxiety attack, i might even shout. i know it's not very healthy but i want someone who can help me with those. plus someone who i can read with please <3 cheating and not having any respect for personal space would be the major deal breaker for me

5 | gen. aesthetic : my fashion sense starts from sweats and ends in sweats. i'm a big fan of those oversized hoodies and shirts, like something really comfy. however, i do have a collection of formal wears like blazers and dress.

6 | color/s to describe myself : red, actually. if not read then blue. it switchers but red 90% of the times.

7 | fav song/s : literally everything by Chase Atlantic and The Neighborhood. However, my absolute favorites are some of the famous classical pieces like Experience by Ludovico Einaudi and Chopin's Ballade No. 1 Op 23.

8 | fav genre of music : classical music ( Beethoven, Einaudi and Chopin own my heart )

Lol this is very lengthy I'm sorry, btw congrats again!

I looked into MBTI, I looked into zodiacs, I went off of what you said

Here he is, the man, Seijoh’s do-it-all guy

HANAMAKI TAKAHIRO ur new boyfriend

There is not enough content for him, anyway

How You Met

Bear with me here

Think about this

Artist!hanamaki

You love painting? Art club.

Idk if youre actually in any art club but shhh

Anyway, it was probably some sort of community thing full of tons of different age artists (bc you’d have basketball or something after school and he had volleyball)

So like once a week on thursday afternoons everyone gets together and does all sorts of artsy stuff

Everyone listens to lo fi music (or you can bring headphones) and chit chat and just paint for a couple hours

Its in the back section of a library (bc the library near me does stuff like this its awesome) so if you want you can go read a book while you wait for things to dry

One day the person that ran it suggested you talked to the new guy

He was about your age, it was his first day, they didn't know what all he was good at, and tbh they thought you two would look cute together

Just the vibes yk

So you set up your canvas and stuff next to him and introduced yourself

And you guys just vibe to the playlist

He’s REALLY good

Compliments you a lot too

Which is fun because he’s cute so it makes you a little flustered

You find out you guys go to the same school and he’s on the VB team

And says he has a (practice) game that weekend and asks you to come if you can

Which you do

And they win! So its fun!

Matsukawa basically asks you out for him though

He’s heard all about you already

“You don't get it issei! She’s so pretty!! God, she touched my hand and I thought I was gonna die!!!!!” “the enthusiasm is new for you” “shut up asshole” (conversation from the night before)

So he walks up to you after the game and is like “Hey so,,, we’re going out to get some lunch, you wanna come?”

Makki thinks HES flirting with you and is pissed off about it

Until you all sit down for lunch and oh, the only open spot for him is next to you (since when is matsukawa willing to sit between iwaizumi and oikawa??)

He asked you out after art club that week (Mattsun threatened not to give him any more monster for the rest of the month if he didn't get the guts to do it)

General Headcanons

You date hanamaki, you're also dating matsukawa

There’s no separating them (good thing ur MBTIs work together too, especially for strong friendships)

This was literally my first thought

Good luck with both these trolls

More on that later

Of course he’s going to be worried if you go radio silent for a while, but he'll understand

There are some days he’s not gonna wanna talk either

He’s really supportive on your bad days of course

Expect a random text in the middle of the evening from him

“Hiya sweetheart, just wanted to remind you that you’re beautiful, I love you, and I hope your day is going well.”

When he’s having a bad day, the same thing is all he needs from you to keep moving

He’s a really honest person. If you want to talk to him, be prepared not to get any sugar coating. If you tell him to shut up because you don’t want advice, he will. But if you expect advice from him, expect brutally honest advice. Subtlety is not his strong suit, so when it comes to advice, he’s going to tell it like it is. He's just trying to help, yknow?

However, he’s pretty good with people, so will know how to comfort you when something is bothering you. Tea and cuddles? Gotcha. Dancing at 11pm because neither of you want to sleep yet? On it. You want him to hold you? Perfect.

He’s not like...the most touchy person? There are some things he’s really indifferent on, and other things he’s stubborn as hell with. Whatever you wanna do, though

His weakness though

⚠️this part is slightly little bit suggestive⚠️

He will randomly walk up to you and pull you against him, give you a really deep kiss, smirk and walk away like nothing happened

Like hands in hair probably almost making out and then just

Walk away

Because that’s how he kisses and it’s breathtaking every time

It’s either little temple kisses or forehead or cheek pecks or something

Or that

And probably leaves you flustered and it’s funny (to him) (and to me if I was there with you) (bc that would be funny)

Hmm I’m thinking

I’m thinking hair dye dates

He needs help doing his hair from time to time Y’know (he doesn’t he just likes spending time with you) and he wants to make it pink again

So he teaches you how to do his hair and even offers to dye yours one day

Either just a strand or the ends or everything, up to you

Imagine having twinning hair dye with makki isn’t that cute

I think it’s cute

I said ur platonically dating mattsun right

Yes you are now

He absolutely adores you and loves how much makki loves you

Probably would have asked you out if makki didn’t but he was really pushing for makki to because he was just all over you in the beginning

He wasn’t overly attached to you romantically so being friends? Perfect. Sounds great

You two get along wonderfully though like you act like siblings once you warm up to each other

Again, very brutally honest person, but a little more awkward so doesn’t know what he’s saying might come off as he’s acting like a dick

He doesn’t try to though and he does really care about you

Flat out told makki if he breaks up with you and breaks your heart he’s gonna kick his ass (makki doesn’t know he had the same (less aggressive) conversation with you)

Tbh all of the VBC at seijoh loves you

Oikawa loves talking to you he thinks you’re great for makki

Gets you in on he and makki and mattsun’s antics

Iwa thinks you’re good too he just doesn’t know you as well

I think that kunimi would like you (he was almost a runner up--)

Kindaichi too

The first years just think you’re cool even if they won’t say it out loud

Seijoh VBC loves you

You got mattsun’s approval

And hanamaki loves you with literally everything in his life

You’re pretty set with your strawberry baby huh

Date Night!

SLEEPOVERS

I was waiting for some matchup to come along that gave me sleepover vibes

In a perfect world where you could do sleepovers with your bf because most parents would,,,not let that happen

Imagine…

He shows up at like 7:00 after practice, pizza in hand because he picked up dinner

You two eat, chat about your day, he probably scarfs down half the pie bc it’s after practice ofc he’s hungry

So when you guys are done eating you head up to your room

And make pillow fort

It’s mandatory

Different design every time, but there’s a pillow fort nonetheless

And then when there’s just enough room for the both of you to climb in

You get a blanket and a couple pillows and one of your phones or laptops or whatever and watch a movie and cuddle

When the movie is over you guys break out the face masks

You ever wonder why he has such great skin? It’s thanks to you (or if you don’t have masks, he picks them up on the way home from practice)

But anyway you guys talk shit about people for a while and sit with the masks on (it’s usually him talking about how Oikawa is a bitch as much as he loves him) (or about whatever he and Mattsun were talking about lately)

You both get chances to vent while the masks sit on your face and you just vibe with music (usually that you pick) (he listens to like,,,meme songs and like CORPSE yk)

After masks you guys make/get some snacks and munch on those during another movie but this time you’re in comfy jammies and more relaxed Y’know

Less paying attention to the movie you’ve seen a million times and just vibing in each other’s presence and it’s just really sweet

Fall asleep on his chest

Let him fall asleep on yours

Either way, you’ve got him whipped for you he loves you

Not that he doesn’t already but that’s his favorite thing ever so please just let him do that

Always makes sure to tell you he loves you before you sleep too

If you fall asleep first he takes embarrassing pictures of you with your hair being a mess & you best bet he sends them to mattsun because “she’s so cute omfg” “dude” “dude what” “you’re so fuckin stupid” “?” “Whatever—good luck being whipped just tell me when you need to get a ring, k” “you’re such a jackass” “yeah yeah Gnight”

Zodiac/MBTI

Okay so I’m not doing a big long paragraph for all this BUT from what I understand, Gemini/Aquarius are really compatible, and ENTP and INFJ are known as “perfect matches” sO (I had a really hard time deciding between Atsumu and Makki because they're both ENTP)

Psst Gemini + Leo is compatible and so is INTP + INFJ,,,, so, again, asking you to marry me sho 💍💍

Hmm id say age doesn't matter here, you can't tell me George enjoys getting killed and insulted on his own streams i think yeah most of it is banter but also its just streamer etiquette to tolerate whatever is happening bad or worse on his stream and just deal with it by laughing it off or moving on quickly. Id say George is quiet a tolerant and mature person not because of his age but there are a lot of situations where he was put in even when he was younger e.g cursed streams where he got killed for having op stuff or the 8 hour stream where they made the 'i love you dream' deal and dream ended up facetiming sapnap and not showing george his face (his end of the deal) and probably events in his private life that made him mature the way he is now, that doesn't mean he enjoys the way he can be treated on other people's and his stream's and acknowledging that isn't baby-ing him either. It's just an observation though i feel like George, as a human lol can feel hurt/bothered by the way his friends 'joke' with him when its a continuous thing but he wouldn't go against it because he just doesn't seem like the type to make a big deal out of things or even speak about his emotions in general (based on him saying he isn't good at speaking about his emotions)

well i mean i never said he enjoys all of it. of course he’s human, he does get upset. but i can’t sit there and agree or disagree with you when george isn’t my friend - i don’t actually know him as a person so i don’t know his thought process.

i personally find it extremely embarrassing when sapnap or quackity or anyone is forced to bring up the fact on stream that it’s fine it was a joke, george isn’t mad, etc etc. it’s really not our place to question them about their relationships. they are friends so they treat each other however they see fit. we are just spectators basically.

you don’t have to enjoy the clowning and the jokes and whatnot, but i feel like a lot of people project their personal feelings into things like this. which is normal, because you’re not george, you’re you, so you can only see things from your perspective. but you don’t have to feel upset or hurt on his behalf yknow? cause in the end you’re bringing more negative emotions onto yourself and you shouldn’t do that to yourself

my point is that we don’t need to defend george from his own friends. he can do that himself if he wants to, and even if he doesn’t want to, nothing will change even if we tell him he should. i’m not saying he doesn’t get hurt, but i am saying he is old enough to defend himself if he needs to. so if he chooses not to, that’s his decision and doesn’t have anything to do with us :)

i hope i’m not sounding harsh or anything, i promise i’m not trying to, i know my tone can sometimes come across a bit eh :’) it’s hard to express yourself online and have everybody be on the same page with how you’re trying to put yourself across

#ask #anon #georgenotfound #discourse #i'll tag this as negative just in case if people wanna avoid discourse on thi #s #cw negative

CHAN

The friend who is always there for you when you need him.

Keeps check on you by texting you at random hours, sometimes even around 4am/5am.

Always asks you for opinions about his music or lyrics (e.g. whether you like it or not, does it sound okay, is the lyrics meaningful).

If he feels down, not motivated or not inspired, he will call you immediately cause listening to your voice and your words gives him inspiration and motivation.

Enjoys having late night deep conversation with you.

Jokes to you about how he don't think he will even have time to date anyone, so he will just end up marrying you when the time comes for him to get married and settle down with a family (but little did you know that he was being serious about it because you are his muse).

LEE KNOW

Sometimes makes you wonder why are you even friends with him because he rarely treat you nicely but that's his love language, he enjoys disturbing and bullying people he loves.

Always! LIKE ALWAYS!! Sends you pictures of Soonie, Doongie, Dori and meme faces of himself and his members.

Whenever you're stressed out or have a sudden break down, he will be the sweetest person ever! He will hold your face close to his chest and ask you to let it all out while he rubs your back gently and place his chin on top of your head.

Sometimes if you talk too much, he will just shut your mouth by telling you that he likes you and then laugh at your shocked reaction and you end up beating him while blushing (deep down inside he does like you but he doesn't want to ruin the friendship).

He even stays with you in your apartment during his holiday so that he can spend time with you freely and uses his members are annoying him as an excuse, so that you won't tease him for missing you.

Always buys for you foods and snacks whenever he come to visit you just because he loves watching you eat (basically you're just another cat like Soonie, Doongie and Dori to him).

CHANGBIN

The best friend who will ALWAYS force you to have a rap battle with him, praises you even when you don't rap so well because he knows that you're trying so he supports you.

When he's upset about something or stressed out preparing for their comeback, the first person he wants to meet up and have a talk with is you.

He likes placing his head on your lap while talking about his problems because your lap is his comfort zone.

He doesn't like if anyone bullies or talks bad about you; if he finds out about them, then he will either warn them if he's in a good mood but if he's in a bad mood...THEY BETTER RUN AWAY! He will definitely beat them up.

He's your personal bodyguard, no matter what you're doing or wherever you are he needs to know, either he calls/texts you to ask or you have to call/text him and let him know.

You're like a little sister to him, so he might introduce you to Felix, Chan, Han or Jeongin and set you guys up on a date because he trusts them with you.

HYUNJIN

The drama llama queen who sasses and spills tea about everyone who irritates him to you (about his members especially).

Forces you to watch all k-dramas with him, so that he will have someone to talk to about it, so if he asks you to spend time with him, it will usually be a drama marathon.

Seeing you in pain is something he can't tolerate at all, so he will comfort you, be there for you and sometimes even cry to you telling that he's sorry because you're going through the pain.

Doesn't like to see other members hanging out or getting close to you, so he doesn't bring them to meet you or take you to their dorm to hangout.

He hates it whenever you fangirl over his members especially Han because he's jealous, when you start teasing him about it, he will just scoff and be like, "Me? Jealous? Pfftt...Never!".

He loves teaching you Stray Kids choreography to all their songs for two reasons; firstly, he can have "not so obvious" skinship with you and looking at his crush...I mean bestfriend dancing to his group songs makes him get the butterfly effects.

HAN

That one crackhead friend who makes you do crackhead stuffs with him and ends up making you look like the clown...yes that's Han.

Loves taking you out to eat because looking at you munching the food cutely makes him go uwu.

Whenever you're busy and don't give him attention, he will randomly text/call you (if he's not physically there with you) or pokes your side (if he's physically there with you) and tells, "Chogiyo noona, hokshi namja chingu isseoyo?".

When he's stressed or upset with his work, he always wants you right next to him to comfort him and also when you pat his head and kiss the side of his head as a sign of comfort makes him feel good.

Call you whenever he's done with his schedule or during his break just to make sure you have eaten and everything is going well for you.

Please never ever tell him when you're on your period, he will annoy you by asking you about your mood swings, cravings and symptoms; it may be irritating but he just wants to know so that he can make you feel comfy.

FELIX

He will force you to create a TIKTOK account and makes you to do it with him, even when you say no.

Comes to your place just to play games because his members are not there to disturb him and he also says that your apartment's wifi connection is way better than his dorm's.

Will attempt to cook for you but ends up making a disaster in your kitchen and sulks about it the whole day, so you have to cheer up this sulky baby and order take away to comfort him.

Teaches you Aussie accent and laughs whenever you make a mistake because he thinks you look adorable when you mess it up.

Loves taking you to the dog cafe he usually goes to and takes a lot of pictures of you there.

He will definitely bring you to the dorm and introduce you to every members and hope you will come to visit them often.

SEUNGMIN

The first thing he always tells (or shouts) when you answer his phone call or when you open the door for him is, "SEUNGMIN IN THE BUILDING!" and then he will giggle cutely.

His phone or camera gallery is filled up with your pictures because he loves taking pictures of you.

Will definitely make you listen to day6 whenever you guys hang out .

When you don't feel well or stressed he's always there to cheer you up and cook for you; he loves taking care of you.

He might even write some songs for you but he keeps it to himself or only shares them with Chan because the songs are usually love songs.

All his members knows that he likes you a lot and even tell him about it but he's still unsure about the feelings because he has never felt like this before only you make him feel completed and also he's afraid that you might reject him and it can affect your friendship.

I.N

He acts shy and distant when the members are around but when you guys are alone, he's like a literal fluff ball...super adorable, hyper and noisy.

When you don't give him attention, he will hold your hand and keeps swinging them back and forth while calling your name cutely till you give him attention.

Enjoys having karaoke session with you.

He loves whenever you have skinship with him, even the members thinks he's weird because he doesn't like when the members have skinship with him but he's fine with you.

Whenever you cry to him due to stress or if things are not going well, he will cry with you because he gets hurt looking at your crying state and it ends up you comforting him instead him comforting you.

He hates it when his members tries to get your attention because the only person who you are supposed to pay attention and give love to is the one and only Jeongin!

April 10: Rocky II

(previous notes: Rocky)

When this movie came out I was a little kid living in Northern California, and we used to go to huge drive-in movie complexes that had like six screens. No matter what movie you were watching, you could see other movies from your lot. I don't remember which movie we were watching at the time, but I remember being distracted by a nearby screen showing Rocky II. I totally watched the ending in suspense. It was eventually on cable a lot so I was able to see it for real, but still like 40 years ago.

Anyway, I wonder if this movie will have the effect of dulling the charm of how the first movie ended, so climactically and with appealing suddenness.

Also, is this the only one of the first four movies that doesn't have a rollicking hit song emerging from its soundtrack?

Stallone famously wrote each of these movies all by himself, and starting with this one he is the director of a bunch of them as well.

Same kind of intro with the fanfare, except the music sounds very clearly, to me at least, to not be playing on real horns. I think it's synths. "Modern".

We're now just watching the end of the first movie. We get to relive the intense experience of seeing Adrian's face in closeup closing her eyes for one and a half seconds. The drama.

The whole first five minutes is the whole last five minutes of the first movie. That's weak. Cheap.

Then the whole opening credits follows, and it's following the ambulance that's taking Rocky to the hospital because of all the punchplay. Not a good use of this time. But more importantly: are they going to address the eyelid situation.

Rocky and Apollo confront each other in wheelchairs in front of the press at the hospital. They're still fired up.

After Rocky gets out of the hospital he rambles a lot and it's like an amateur improv scene where he's figuring out on the spot some things to say about where they are. He gets the idea to have Rocky propose to Adrian, then when she accepts he does a Tarzan wail. What a cheeky clown that Rocky is.

His eye seems fine now.

0:18:20 - the a cappela street musicians are still at it, still not very complex with the harmonies. Isn't Sylvester Stallone's brother a singer named Frank, and does he look like the guy in this scene? I bet it's him.

I'm pretty bored of this movie so far. It's like the people were clamoring for an answer to the question, "what happened after the fight", and Stallone's enthusiastic answer was "just regular stuff like you'd guess!!!!!"

Oh my. It's their wedding night and they talk like dumb, uninspired newlyweds and then kiss, and it's like the director, who remember is Stallone, directed the two of them, one of whom is also Stallone, to perform slow, exotic lip dancing and no one told him that's a thing called kissing which is normal and common.

Rocky has some money now so he and Adrian are looking at buying a house. The realtor is all "this whole place is supported by solid steel" and Rocky is all "yo Adrian that would be a great spot for a radio". It's like porn stars that have been told to ad lib for a few minutes in the beginning of the scene. Except that we aren't about to be rewarded with porno.

0:28:05 - Adrian is pregnant! They talk about it. They talk about it in small talk. "What if it's a girl" "Oh a girl I didn't think about that can you imagine".

So one of the adventures of post-the-first-movie Rocky is that he gets to do a commercial. They show the filming of that and that it doesn't go well because of his Rocky personality. And the next scene he has realized that he needs a white collar job so he's at an employment agency office and asks for a job where he gets to sit. But he's not a good fit there. So he goes and gets a job at a butcher place. He promised Adrian he was done with boxing so now we have this boring part of the movie which isn't short enough.

Okay it's definitely going in a direction of not-boxing-is-sucky-for-Rocky, because he lost the butcher job and had to sell his car to Paulie. He said "it's a great car, buckle up for safety!" Do you think Stallone actually scripted that line or did he improvise it and the director, who you may recall is also Mr. Stallone, thought it was really good and kept it in

0:46:30 - He goes to visit Burgess Meredith at the gym. BM is not helping Rocky's morale, tells him he's washed up POI-manently. He begs for a job doing menial tasks at the gym and BM tells him everyone will think he's a loser but okay. Stallone does okay looking humble about that.

When he comes in to the gym everyone is laughing at a very stupid editorial cartoon in the local news publication, it shows Apollo doing harm upon Rocky-as-a-chicken with the ingenious caption "APOLLO CREED VS THE STALLION CHICKEN". It was clearly "STALLION CHICKEN". That does not make any sense.

BM was easily persuaded by Apollo's cockiness and so he then shows up at Rocky's nad easily persuades him to accept the rematch deal. Feels like movie formula but at least it's about to be less boring.

I like BM's voice.

They're doing a thing going back and forth between Rocky training and Apollo training. Apollo's is going better, partially because his facility is kind of luxuriously spacious. Then they stuck a scene in the middle of that of Adrian working at the pet store all preggo, but having trouble lugging a weighty thing and listen my friends, I think Talia Shire acting is not good acting.

We're in a long sequence that's about how Adrian had the baby prematurely and she slipped into a coma or something, and it's made clear that she had health problems because she was stressed out and overworked because of the heavy things at the pet shop and the husband who went back to boxing. Big old guilt trip taking up a lot of the middle of the movie. Adrian is in a coma. They don't show the baby. It's all just sadness about comatosity of Adrian.

But! She eventually wakes up! And after the first ever conversation they've ever had about what to name their newborn son, Adrian inexplicably changes her tune and tells Rocky she wants him to win. "Win!" That's what she tells him. Then she says it again. Stallone writing, Shire acting, what more could you want.

Now an upbeat training montage that's more hopeful and he's obviously high energy. He must be hitting the punching bags better because just look at how confident he looks.

1:29:35 - It is the sequel to the famous running montage from the first movie. The inspired updates include a new recording of that same song but with children singing "flying strong now" or whatever, and also children following him on his majestic dash to the steps of that municipal facility. Someone probably said "do the running scene again just exactly like in the first movie", but no. Stallone was not satisfied. "We will change it a little," he proclaimed. And lo.

Oh I hope there will be a sequel to the shot of Adrian closing her eyes for considerably longer than a blink. Do you think when people stop her on the street they're like "do the eye close thing do the eye close thing! My friends will all ask if you did the eye close thing and I need to tell them yes she did I saw it and it was even better in person"

We're at the fight now. It's about to start. It's all going as expected. I truly believe that everything will be okay.

Before it starts, Apollo tells Rocky, "you're going DOWN". So maybe it will NOT be okay after all…

Seems like the shots of this fight are not as varied or interesting this time, and they're relying more on the announcer commentary telling us what to think compared to the first movie.

Now the obligatory montage to show us the rounds moving forward and them still going at it. Not the same style as the first movie, but whatever it's working fine. I'd maybe watch a boxing match if it were shot and edited like this so that it's just ten minutes.

I swear I remember seeing this imagery from across the drive-in way back in the 70s, I don't care if you believe me or not it's the truth.

Look, I know I don't know nothin' 'bout boxin' but it seems like you're supposed to use your forearms as shields kind of, and Rocky doesn't do that like at all.

The dialogue is telling us that Rocky is maybe losing going into the final round. I wouldn't have thought so… thanks dialogue!

"YOU'RE GOING DOWN" repeats Creed. Such writing I tell you. Rocky II - A Film By Sylvester Stallone.

I will never forget the carefully choreographed climax of the movie. They both crumble onto the floor and the one-to-ten countdown all slow-like as they maybe try to get back up and Apollo doesn't and Rocky barely does so he is the new world champion. Then the last couple minutes of the movie is the same basic energy as the first movie. It's like the first movie's ending was a template and they just replaced a couple of things.

They kept making more of these movies! I'm going to keep watching them! I'm going to do this notes-about-them thing!

(next: Rocky III)

Recap/review 14.13: “Lebanon”

THEN: They hit me right in the face with gorgeous young 1.01 Dean saying "Dad's on a hunting trip and he hasn't been home in a few days" and beautiful baby 1.01 Sam saying "we've got work to do" and we end with 14.12 and Sam furiously punching his brother and then furiously hugging him and Dean saying "let's go home" and does anything else matter? No.

NOW: We see the reflection of Sam and Dean walking up to a pawn shop, with a nice selection of guitars and sunglasses and that weird monkey that was in Rocky's Bar. The proprietor seems friendly enough. Dean flashes him a wad of hundred dollar bills because they're looking for "the really good stuff." This gains them admittance into a secret back room full of things hunters would be interested in, including a hockey mask (?) and a perfume atomizer full of dragon's breath. They tell the guy they're looking for the skull of a specific woman who was executed during the Salem witch trials, and the fact that he has it basically proves that he killed the friend of theirs who previously owned it. (Also Sam picks up a teddy bear and starts to pull the string to make it speak and the guys warns him not to and this is Dean's role, isn't it, messing with things he shouldn't be messing with? But I don't care because chastized Sam and eye-rolly Dean are precious to me.)

Sam goes through a ledger of the guy's inventory and says he's got a lot of occult objects that they should take with them. (Dean plays with the dragon's breath. Sam ducks and flinches and does the really, Dean? thing with his hands and face. I laugh again.) Dean agrees they should take the stuff home.

Title card!

The Impala zooms past a sign welcoming us to Lebanon, Geographical Center of the USA. Then we find ourselves in front of a movie theater showing Beetlejuice and Hell Hazers (All Saints' Day is coming soon, and I imagine Route 666 can't be far behind), where a group of teenagers is talking about... somebody. "People say they're brothers," a kid in a knit cap says, "but all I know is, I was standing right here, and I heard this bam from the trunk of their car. And then, this like, shallow breathing." I'm pretty sure this is a fake-out, and it will turn out he's talking about someone else, but the Impala pulls up in front of the theater and Knit Cap Kid says "that's them!"

As the Winchesters get out of the car and enter a liquor store (decorated with that Family Business neon sign from Rocky's), Sam is still reading the ledger, which lists things like a hangman's rope, fairy dust, and John Wayne Gacy's cigar box. Well, that's oddly specific! The guy working there greets the "Campbell brothers" and knows their usual order. Oh, wow. I love that they're actually known in Lebanon, and that they're going by Campbell. And we know that actual Lebanon, Kansas is too small to have a movie theater or this much business downtown, but I'm happy to handwave that.

What do you mean, "happy to handwave that?" You're always complaining about the inaccuracies regarding tiny Lebanon having traffic cams and whatnot.

Well, maybe this episode just MAKES ME HAPPY, okay?

Anyway. Sam thinks cataloguing the confiscated items would be a good way to take Dean's mind off "things," but Dean's pretty convinced nothing will ever take his mind off that.

Outside, the teens are asking where the guys even come from, and what about their weird trenchcoat-wearing sidekick, and "that kid with the dumb Bambi look on his face all the time" (!) One girl says that, whatever the deal is with these guys, they do have an awesome car, and no one can argue with that. And the other girl, Max, who seems to smitten with the first girl, gets an idea.

Inside, Sam has discovered something significant in the ledger - the "beyzoo" (no, I know that's not how you spell it), which is one of eight ancient Chinese treasures. A pearl that gives you "what your heart desires." Oooh, getting rid of Michael, maybe? But as the guys are discussing this, Dean sees the Impala drive by the window. Guess Max figured out how to impress that other girl! (BTW, there are couple of COOL old trucks on the street.)

The guys see Knit Cap Kid standing on the sidewalk looking confused, and while Sam tells him the car is dangerous to whoever stole it, Dean looks like he wants to murder someone. And yet the Winchesters are confused when the kid says he doesn't want to die. (Or get locked in the trunk!) He says Max is new and he doesn't know where she lives. Dean raises a fist, but Sam pulls him away.

MURDER. I'D MURDER THEM.

Post office. There's a poster of stamps featuring old cars behind the customer service counter. I'm really getting my old truck fix tonight. Sam comes in with his sweet anxious smile and asks for help finding the girl who washed his car, since he forgot to tip her. Post Office Lady is not amused or helpful, or the least bit swayed by his sweet anxious smile. Then Dean comes in and calls her by name and asks about her grandson and she MELTS and he gets sincere and puts his hand on hers and she does exactly what I would do, which is offer up ANYTHING YOU WANT, ANYTHING AT ALL, WOULD YOU LIKE MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER WHILE I'M AT IT? Unfortunately, all she knows is where Max's mother works.

SAM’S FACE.

(Sidebar: Have I mentioned that Sam is wearing that nice blue jacket from the episode where he killed the alpha vampire? I like it. Toss that stupid orange jacket, Sam, and wear this more often. And Dean's wearing the black jacket that I always love.)

At the restaurant where Max's mom works, we learn that she has no idea where her daughter is, because she was supposed to be in school. But the guy working in the kitchen knows February 7 is Skip Day (is it always February 7? what about when that falls on a weekend?) and that she'll probably be at a party at this old house on Route 36. (Yes, I did confirm that Route 36 is just outside of Lebanon. Yes, I did use Mapquest. I'm old school up in here, y'all.)

Party house. The little batch of delinquents has taken all the boxes of occult objects out of the Impala for some reason. Including the evil teddy bear. Luckily, someone announces "pizza's here" before a girl pulls the teddy bear's string. At some point I've got to find out what would happen if you pulled it. Fic it for me, friends! (Also, I just noticed the teddy bear's mouth is SEWN SHUT and that's not creepy AT ALL.) The camera slowly pans to a wooden box, and we watch the lid open to reveal a smoky/dusty ghost hand. With a ruffled sleeve. Uh oh.

Knit Cap Kid runs in to warn the partiers that "those guys" are looking for Max, and he's told to chill. Another teen goes into the bathroom, where the mirror frosts over and then the CREEPIEST CLOWN EVER comes out of it. Seriously, creepier than the clown in Plush, which you wouldn't think was possible.

The Winchesters pull up in yet another antique truck, where Dean greets his car with "Baby, Baby, please tell me you're not hurt." Sam's more concerned about the boxes of dangerous occult objects missing from the back seat. Ghost Kid comes running outside and the girl following him tells the brothers that he saw a clown ghost that tried to kill him. Maybe it's my imagination, or maybe Sam has a flash of crap, a killer clown ghost expression before they run into the house.

Dean announces they're FBI and everyone needs to get out, now. Once the room is cleared, he asks if "anything screams clown to you?" Sam immediately notices John Wayne Gacy's cigar box and guys, I'm ashamed to say I didn't put the two together until now. The killer clown ghost is John Wayne Gacy. And Sam is freaked the fuck out about it. "We should burn that right now," Dean says, in a lovely holding-in-the-freakout way, and Sam rushes to throw it into the fireplace. Then Dean says "I mean, this is like a best worst thing that's ever happened, because you love serial killers, but you hate clowns" and I'm DEAD. (I'm also loving TWO gifts from the Continuity Fairy in once sentence.) The lights start flashing before Sam can get his lighter lit, and then the killer clown ghost shows up and tosses Dean around. Knit Cap Kid and the girls run back inside just in time to watch John Wayne Gacy's ghost go up in flames. So the kids get the "monsters are real" speech and are told to keep it secret.

Back at the bunker, Sam's going through the occult goodies and thinks he found the magic pearl. Dean's ready to use it right now, and dismisses Sam's suggestion that they call Mary or Cas. If it doesn't work, he doesn't want to have gotten their hopes up. Sam looks distressed at the idea it won't work, but agrees. The pearl doesn't come with any instructions, so Sam suggests Dean hold it and concentrate on what his heart desires. "Michael out of my head," Dean says, and I'd have been more specific. I'd have concentrated on Michael out of my head and destroyed, and me perfectly fine, but, well, what do I know?

(Also, I KNOW all you Wincest and Destiel fans are gonna have your own ideas about what - or who - appears in front of Dean when he’s granted what his heart desires. This setup is better than sex pollen. Have fun, my kinky little friends.)

Dean clutches the pearl and concentrates, and the lights flash and then go out, and in the red emergency light we see someone in the bunker. Someone fighty, who knocks both brothers down and then pulls out a shotgun and says "don't you move," but it's a familiar voice and then the lights come on and what do you know? Winchester Surprise!

So, was anybody truly surprised? I covered the guest stars on first viewing, as I always try to do, but I noticed on rewatch that they didn't even credit JDM at the beginning of the episode. Which they sometimes do, to avoid spoilers. And yet. Has there been a single episode of this series that was more spoiled? I don't think so.

(Sidebar: What do you think would have happened if Sam had taken the pearl and made a wish? I think Michael would be gone. Because I don't think there's anything Sam wants more than saving his brother.)

Back to our story. Everyone is shocked. John thinks Sam should be in Palo Alto, apparently in his 14th year of post graduate work. He thinks he's still in 2003, and he doesn't notice his boys are older. And they apparently don't notice that his hair is very short and a lot greyer than it was when we last saw him. (I mean, really, they slapped a wig on Samantha Smith to make her look like The Last Version Of Mary, so why couldn't they do the same thing with JDM? It's distracting.) Sam figures they must have accidentally summoned John from the past. So they do what one does in this situation - sit down and drink.

John's astonished. Dean's proud. Sam's visibly anxious. We don't get to see exactly how much of the backstory they tell him, but they do tell him about the apocalypse and Lucifer and living with "an angel and Lucifer's kid." And now John thinks he died "taking out Yellow Eyes," which... not really? But okay. And they don't tell him Mary's back, until he mentions her and Sam's, all, yeah, about Mom, and then she comes in and John hears her voice and tears up and dammit. This reunion is everything I didn't think I ever wanted. I mean, I've made no secret of the fact that I'm not a fan of John Winchester. He's a fascinating character and JDM does a great job with him, but he's such an awful father (don't bother arguing with me, you will not change my mind) that I can't really like him. And I'm not too impressed with resurrected Mary, either. But when these two come together... damn. It's good. It's very good. Well done, you two.

I love that the boys give them some privacy, because it's been over a decade since John saw them, but it's been even longer since he saw his dead wife, and this should really be a John and Mary reunion.

Out in the hall, Dean's gleeful and Sam's all, how the hell did this happen? Dean explains that he's wanted this since he was four years old (oh, my heart) but Sam warns that messing with time will not end well. I don't actually remember Sam being that concerned about the unintended consequences of time travel, but I'm sure there's a good reason he's bringing it up now. Dean doesn't care. Dean just wants one family dinner together (oh, my heart again, remembering his one last dinner with Mary).

Sam, sans Dean, runs into John in the library, because Mary's off making a shopping list and he decided he'd rather examine the bunker than be involved in that I guess? Okay. But then this happens.

I screwed up with you a lot, didn't I?

No, that's okay.

No, it's not. Sammy, tell me the truth.

I don't want to talk about that.

You didn't have a problem talking about it before you left.

Dad. For me, that fight, that was a lifetime ago. I don't even remember what I said. I mean, yeah, you know, you did some messed-up things. But I don't... I mean, when I think about you... and I think about you a lot... I don't think about our fights. I think about you... I think about you on the floor of that hospital, and I think about how I never got to say goodbye.

Sam. Son. I am so sorry.

I'm sorry too. But you did your best, Dad. You fought for us, and you loved us. And that's enough.

OH MY GOD. This is everything I ever wanted.

1. John admitting he was a crap parent to Sam.

2. Sam trying to sidestep that - because he's Sam Winchester and that's what he does - and John not letting him.

3. Sam finally calling him out instead of just saying nah, it's fine.

4. John calling him Sammy.

5. Sam pointing out that he didn't get a goodbye from John. (Did he ever find out that Dean got praise and an apology?)

6. John apologizing.

7. Sam forgiving him.

8. "And I think about you a lot."

9. The way Sam keeps having to stop talking and look away and make that little "hmmm" noise.

10. And the tears.

10b. The way Sam tears up even before The Talk, when he remembers them as kids trying to make Winchester Surprise.

11. The shaky voice.

12. And Sam's shirt.

13. And the way Sam's expression looks so much like his expression in Sacrifice, when he tells Dean that his confession was about how he let his brother down.

This, right here, is two minutes and 24 seconds of the best television I've ever seen. I don't care what else this episode does, this 2:24 is worth it. And yes, this is three weeks in a row that Jared Padalecki has ripped my heart out of my chest and STOMPED ON IT.

And I love it.

Meanwhile, Dean gets the shopping list from Mary. Sam finds him and tells him he's right, because Sam also just got everything he ever wanted, and then offers to go shopping with him. (Saaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmm!!!!!!!)

When they get to town, the guys split up - Sam to the grocery store, Dean to the liquor store. Dean's surprised to see the liquor store guy, the one who remembered his "usual" earlier in the day, has no idea who he is. If Dean had ever seen "It's a Wonderful Life," he might say this is just like when George Bailey goes into Martini's Bar and isn't recognized. But apparently Dean Winchester, pop culture aficionado, has never seen that movie (no, I haven't gotten over that, and I never will) so he doesn't recognize a classic uh oh, we changed the course of history moment when he experiences it.

Meanwhile, Sam steps out of the grocery store and finds that neither Max nor the postal clerk recognize him. And then he sees a wanted poster in the post office window. Dean Winchester, wanted for assault, murder, and credit card fraud. Whoops! He trots to the car, where Dean is waiting, and tells him they have a problem. "Yeah, we do," says Dean. "Check this out."

He shows Sam his phone and it's a video of SAM IN GLASSES AND A BLACK TURTLENECK AND SLICKED BACK HAIR GIVING A TED TALK. HE RUNS A LAW FIRM AND LOVES KALE. IT IS THE SECOND MOST AMAZING THING I'VE SEEN TONIGHT.

HE'S STEVE JOBS.

So, those of you who were spoiled... did you know about this? Or did they actually keep THIS AMAZING THING under wraps?

Sam Jobs tells his audience that being your best leaves no time for hobbies or a family, and Sam has seen enough. He tells Dean about the wanted poster, and Dean says yes, of course he googled himself too ("a lot of beheadings," hee!!!) and wonders if there are alternate versions of them running around. Sam thinks it's a "temporal paradox," and time is self-correcting, changing to the new one. If they don't fix things, they'll become those alternate versions of themselves. "Well, I'm cool," Dean says, "but you're, ugh." Sam's less worried about them, and more worried about what else might have changed.

(Sidebar: You know, I could quibble about why bringing John forward in time has such a significant butterfly effect, but bringing Mary back, and their other time travel, and Henry's time travel, changed nothing. I absolutely could. But I choose not to, because SAM JOBS, Y'ALL. But okay, let's think about it. 2003 John would have disappeared while Sam was at Stanford. Dean wouldn't have gone to get Sam. Or Sam would have refused to go. Maybe the hurt on both sides was still too fresh. Maybe that's why Dean's hunting alone, and Sam's an internet-famous lawyer.)

What else has changed, you might ask? How about ZACHARIAH? That's right, my favorite angel is back. And with him is ORIGINAL FLAVOR CAS WITH HIS FLUFFY HAIR AND THINGS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. Zachariah calls him "Constantine" and Castiel says "I don't understand that reference" and THANK YOU BABY JESUS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID TO DESERVE THIS, BUT THANK YOU. They enter Max's mom's restaurant and ask who's been messing with time. (Because she would know?) And if they don't start talking, he'll have Cas murder all of them. "My name is Castiel," he intones solemnly. "I'm an angel of the Lord." YES YOU ARE. He reveals himself like he did to Dean (no, not like that, jeez) with the shadow wings. Outside, the Winchesters see the bright light of an angelic reveal coming through the restaurant windows, and they know something's up.

They herd everyone out of the restaurant, and are shocked to see Cas and Zachariah. Zachariah is equally surprised to see them. He says they had big plans for the Winchesters, but then their father disappeared and... and he doesn't finish, so we'll never know why yoinking John out of 2003 changed any of that vessel stuff. (Handwave!) Cas, of course, doesn't know them, and when Zachariah orders him to kill them, he complies.

Dean pulls out an angel blade but is, of course, unwilling to actually kill Cas, so he starts hitting him with other things. And Cas, for whatever reason, doesn't just put a finger on his forehead and kill him dead. (Handwave!) Zachariah chokes Sam and asks him what they did, even though he can't talk because he's choking (handwave!) and Sam acts like he's trying to speak so Zachariah gets closer to hear him, and Sam stabs him with an angel blade. Cas continues fistfighting with both of them, and slams Sam head-first into a table a couple of times, leaving him spitting blood on the floor. Which Sam uses to paint an angel-banishing sigil while Cas is choking Dean. Smart Sam for the win!

Bunker. Pretty bruised Dean has explained the temporal paradox, and John accepts that he has to go back, or else Mary will probably disappear. "Okay," he says. "I mean, me versus your mom, that's not even a choice." DAMMIT JOHN WINCHESTER DO NOT MAKE ME CARE ABOUT YOU. Elsewhere, pretty bruised Sam explains it to Mary, and tells her John won't remember anything.

John tells Dean he never meant Dean to have this kind of life. He's proud of him, but he hoped he'd be able to have a normal life, with a family. "I have a family," Dean says. They sit down and have one final family meal together, and everyone's quiet and sad until John points out that they can either think about what's going to happen, or appreciate what they have right now. They cheer up and listen to Bob Seger (well, we listen to Bob Seger) and talk and laugh and have the family dinner Dean has always wanted.

Later, while doing the dishes, Sam says how unfair it is that they all had this and then have to throw it away, and John has to go back to being Dad. He thinks it would be nice for John to go back knowing what he knows now. "I used to think that too," Dean says, and admits that he's blamed both John and Mary for their crappy lives. And if they could send him back to 2003, or even earlier, maybe none of the crap would happen. "But here's the problem. Who does that make us? Would we be better off? Maybe. But I gotta be honest, I don't know who that Dean Winchester is. And I'm good with who I am. I'm good with who you are."

Later. Mary and John are holding hands, and I guess they're doing the thing now. I'd hoped they'd at least let these two have one last roll in the hay (especially since I'm pretty sure Mobby is permanently done after this), but no. They have a very sweet goodbye and their sons are brokenhearted and I am too. John tells his boys to take care of each other and Sam says "we always do." That's a nice change from telling Dean to take care of Sam, isn't it? He tells them both (BOTH) that he's proud of them and loves them, and they have a three-way hug and Sam wipes his eyes and Dean says "love you too" and I REALLY CAN'T, BOYS, YOU HAVE TO STOP. Then John takes Mary's hand again and Sam crushes the pearl (why does Sam have to be the one to do it?) and John glows and then fades away.

We get a quick glimpse of downtown Lebanon returning to normal, and the three teens talking about how cool it is that "those guys hunt monsters," and then we're back to the bunker. Cas walks in the door and sees the remaining Winchesters, obviously distressed, and asks what happened. "Well, there's a story," says Dean.

And finally, we see the Impala WITH HER ORIGINAL KANSAS PLATE. John's asleep in the driver's seat when he gets a phone call from Dean. "No, I'm okay, I just had one hell of a dream. No, it was a good one."

GUYS. GUYS.

When I heard there was going to be a musical episode for the 200th, I was sure it would suck. When I heard about the Scooby Doo crossover, I cringed, because I knew it would be awful. WHY AM I ALWAYS SO WRONG.

Eh, who cares why. Let's just appreciate what we were given. Happy 300, my friends. Here's to 300 more.

(Please help me stay unspoiled for future episodes, thanks!)

LET'S DO THIS! [rubs my little hands together gleefully] what was the best day of zoe's life (to date)? what about the worst day? how did she become close(r) with the batfam? any heroes she Doesn't get along with? where's the strangest place she's ever been? the farthest from home she's ever been? which villains does she have particular grudges against, if any? does she have a history with any specific villains/criminals? favorite animal? what music does she listen to? any tats/piercings?

my!! heart!! is!! soaring!! im so excited to gush!!

- what was the best day of zoe's life?

hmmm. this one's kind of hard. she's had plenty of amazing days in her life: the twins being born, beating donna in a fight for the first time, the day she remembered jason and realized he was alive. i think one particular best day was the first time she ever managed to fly without crashing.

- worst day?

zoe's had a few bad days in her life. probably about four or five have been the worst days of her life: the day her younger brothers died, the day her mother disappeared, the day she found out jason died, the day kai disappearee, and the day she returned to gotham to tell everyone she was back - but most importantly, dick. the first two happened within about a year or two of each other. her baby brothers - twins and the absolute lights of her life - were murdered by the joker before zoe officially moved to gotham. her mother left soon after, fucking distraught over their deaths, and then z was left with her older brother, her uncle, and her gran-gran. then life just went on. and then jason's death happened and it hurt even worse bc one) once again, that fucking CLOWN was taking away someone she cared about so much, and two) bruce didn't tell her when it first happened. she found out after the funeral and fucking blew up. needless to say, that began her downward spiral before her own 'death.' then, she found out, that kai had disappeared. just up and left where he was going to school and was never seen again. zoe didn't know about it soonet bc someone was posing as him, sending her messages as kai, posting pictures, pretending to be kai. and then she found out it wasn't kai. this too kind of led to zoe's own disappearance.

and then the day she returned to announce she was back. zoe probably dreaded this day the most. she knew what she'd done, that she'd just up and left - yeah, sure, it was to save the people of her home planet and to stop her father's reign - but then she'd started drinking to forget. she didn't die from the fight with her father like they said she did, but she was pretty injured, and one of the worst injuries was her head. drinking to forget the people she loved, willingly, instead of letting it all come back, no matter how painful, emotionally and physically, was a dick move. and then to come back to people who thought she was dead, who mourned her, and hope that everything could go back to a semblance of what was before? dick, most specifically, was pissed. not only at zoe, but bruce and diana and everyone involved in the cover up of zoe's 'death.' it hurt zoe to have hurt dick like that and then he said he needed space to think it over and reality kind of hit zoe then, that things wouldn't be the same between them.

- how did she become close(r) with the batfam?

she became closer to the batfam through diana - and by becoming a vigilante herself! zoe's great grandfather is chief who diana was close with in my verse, and diana has always just kind of been present in zoe's family history ever since. so when z's mom left and her uncle took her and kai in, diana was also there to help. diana was the one who got her uncle a job in gotham and enrolled them in school. diana also started training zoe more closely and thus, zoe grew closer to donna, who knew dick, as robin.

zoe became a vigilante on her own when she moved to gotham and it mostly started with protecting sex workers on the streets or people walking home. it's easy for a grown man to underestimate a tiny 12 year old girl and all of them were in for a pretty big surprise when she manages to knock them out with a single punch. diana started training zoe more exclusively then and during breaks, zoe would usually go to themyscira while kai would go home to the ranch. she kind of got on bruce's radar through both diana and her own chaotic antics around gotham. we all know bruce's anti-meta rule that he had before duke and we all know how territorial he is, so and when he decided to test her and she passed, only to say "you're not the boss of me!" and run off to continue doing her own thing, bruce was...kinda peeved but also definitely intrigued.

her main link to the batfam before jason, was dick, through donna, through the titans. z wasn't an official member of the og titans -- she didn't necessarily have a mentor/boss/parent figure as a superhero -- but she tagged along on some missions. she became friends with dick, started hanging out with him outside of vigilante work, and then because bruce was a little annoyed by ALL OF IT, decided to stick around to watch the old man squirm.

and then jason came around and they didn't necessarily hit it off right away, but eventually they both came around. z cracked enough jokes and they finally had a heart to heart about some shit, and then it was like they were connected at the hip. and THEN jason got his own titans group - it wasn't very long, but they all formed a close bond very quickly - and zoe just got more tied up in everything.

after his death, zoe stuck around for dick and alfred and bc even tho bruce kept it from her and refused to do anything about the joker, she respected his code and that he too was mourning. tim was robin almost directly after jason and z liked him well enough, they got along. she wasn't around for tim's run as robin for very long, however, after snapping and killing the joker (who for the sake of the story, did NOT atay dead), zoe wasn't really around bruce a lot. she mostly did her own thing like looking for kai and her mother.

and then her dad arrived. zoe sacrificed herself to protect the earth, ended up 'dying' to the rest of the world, and then wandered in space as a drunken amnesiac for like,,, six years fighting off her dad's attempts at fucking with the universe before she ended up back on earth tracking down info about her dad and kai. that's when jason, as red hood, alongside rose wilson (bc i fucks with her and eddie as jason's outlaws moreso than roy and kory) runs into her. there's a whole lot of other shit that happens; the reason z and jason run into each other again has to do with a missing ex-titans member and then z, being z, offers to help them find this ex-member and they all kind of help her get her memories back.

shit is kind of tough after coming back when everyone thinks you've been dead but really you've just been drinking away all of your thoughts of the people you loved ans who loved you and you left behind so that they cant be used against you. like zoe def thinks ACTUALLY DYING and coming back would be so much better than what she did.

dick is....reasonably upset when she comes back and explains what happened, even if he does understand what kind of shit head her dad is. and damian takes dick's side on it and kind of shuns zoe. so z ends up hanging out with jason and tim's horde of friends where she ends up adopting conner as her brother and becoming good friends with cass and steph.

damian comes around much later and it's only because he found out she could talk to animals and spent like his whole afternoon having her translate what each of his pets thinks of him and the rest of the family. and when duke comes around, he and zoe hit it off pretty quickly and he, jason, cass, and zoe all hang out often.

- any heroes she doesn't get along with?

bruce. kind of. they've got like a love hate relationship. she doesn't tolerate his bullshit and she's very protective of all of his kids when he starts isolating himself.

barbara at times bc zoe has a tendency to go off track and do what she thinks needs to be done and that can piss barbara off. other than that, though, they're cool with each other.

rose, at first. but then both of them were like "...cool girl....with a cool fucking sword....okay....i can fuck with that."

zoe gets along with a lot of people in general. there are probably a few that im missing but usually zoe's only got a problem with you if you've done something to hurt her, her family/friends, or you're a downright dick. she looks for the good in people and once you've lost her trust, it's really hard to win it back. so any hero that's done any of those things, zoe probably doesn't even acknowledge they exist.

- where's the strangest place she's ever been?

hmmm. def some far away planet in the galaxy. i do have a hc that she ends up going to a certain planet, gets jumped by bounty hunters while in the middle of a one night stand, fights them off, and her one night stand STILL wanted to have sex with her, covered in blood and guts. it was a strange night for sure.

(also i havent mapped out a lot of zoe's off world adventures so i cant give you more! sorry!)

- the farthest from home she's ever been?

zoe's made it to the edge of the galaxy.

- which villains does she have particular grudges against, if any?

THE JOKER. zoe hates that bitch with a burning passion.

harley. zoe is sympathetic towards her for the shit she went through with the joker but zoe also can't forgive that she did nothing when it came to her brothers' deaths.

her father.

ra's al ghul. just kind of in general with this guy.

lex luthor! bc of the shit that conner's been through with that dude

oh! and like trigon. fuck that guy!

scarecrow. the fear gas has worked on her once and she still has nightmares about it.

- does she have any history with any specific villians/criminals?

those mentioned above. her dad's associates.

selina kyle. but... in a good way. they're friends.

kai.

slade wilson.

ares.

she broke the penguin's nose once and it made jason lose his composure and giggle snort which led to zoe falling over laughing for like five minutes.

black mask.

- favorite animal?

zoe, honestly, would probably not be able to choose just one! i'm gonna choose three and say horses, bears, and eagles.

- what music does she listen to?

honestly tbh, anything! her playlists are full of a whole bunch of shit across the board. sometimes she'll listen to classics, sometimes she'll listen to obscure sea shanties, other times she'll dance around to the 2000s top hundred on repeat for three days straight. it's mostly just about what she's feeling.

- any tats/piercings?

yes!! she has a few ear piercings - two in the lobe and two in the cartilage on both sides - and a septum piercing!

she also has a tattoo along her left shoulder blade and down her back. it's of a chinese dragon with floral designs, particularly lillies and a cherry blossom tree. the design is mixed with chinese and navajo influence to represent both cultures.

send asks about zoe!
