Road to recovery- Part 5
Masterlist
Over the last month Pablo and I have talked pretty much every day in fact there was only one day where we didn't talk at all and that was because we both just happened to have completely opposite schedules so there was no time in the day for us to talk. It has been so nice having someone to talk to about life but also about our injury as there are times you just want to know that someone else is feeling the same as you are and Pablo is always there to tell me what I need to hear. So far things have been tough for both of us as we are usually such active people but when one of us has a bad day the other is always there to offer encouragement which on some days has been much needed. 
Pablo has stuck by his promise of helping me any time I need it too. There has been times that my brother hasn't been able to take me to where I need to go as he's been away racing but every time Pablo has helped me by getting one of his teammates to drive me. Usually Pedri will drive me but sometimes Fermin has driven me place too. It's still weird to me every time one of them shows up as they are always so nice that you could easily forget that they are both famous footballers but that's always in the back of my mind when I see them. I get along with both Pedri and Fermin very well and now I have their numbers too so I can text them if I need help getting somewhere. If you'd have told me on the day I injured myself that a month later I'd have 3 footballers numbers and talk to one everyday I'd have told you that you were nuts. 
Yesterday Pablo and I were texting like we usually do when he asked me if I'd want to go to his place to spend a few hours together. A month ago that would've sent me into a spiral but the two of us have been talking so much that it didn't feel as weird anymore it was just like agreeing to see any other friend. I quickly agreed to see him as we haven't seen each other in person since leaving the hospital and neither of us have seen that many people recently either. Of course we can't do much but we both agreed that it would be nice to at least have some company. 
Although he only asked yesterday Pablo and I agreed to meet today as neither of us have physio today and it's not like we are doing much else. Luckily my brother is able to drive me there all I had to do was tell him when to pick me up and give him the address when he arrives oh and I had to promise that I wouldn't do anything he wouldn't do which is up for interpretation. Everything takes me so much longer now that I can't use my knee so I had to get up earlier than I usually would to shower and get myself ready. I had no idea what to wear as most days I've been wearing sweatpants and a hoodie as no one really sees me but I felt like I should put more effort in if I'm going to see Pablo. In end I put on some jeans and a cute top which looked good but was still comfortable I even did my hair which has spent most of its time up in a bun or a ponytail until today. 
Before I knew it Alonso was letting himself in to my apartment and coming to help me downstairs. He took my bag off me which has all my necessities as well as pain killers as sometimes I still need to take some as the day goes on and we slowly made our way to the lift and then out to his car. I got myself settled into the car while Alonso took my crutches and put them in the back for me before he got in himself. 
"My little sister off to a football players house never thought I'd say those words" Alonso laughed 
"Me neither but here we are" I said 
"I know you've been talking to him every day but I want you to be careful I'm sure he's a great guy but I don't want him taking advantage of you just because he thinks you are going through a tough time and he can convince you to do anything he wants" he lectured 
"He's not like that Alonso he's really sweet and so are the rest of his friend he wouldn't take advantage of me" I said 
"I'm not saying he will but bare in mind both of you are going through a tough time and having someone there for you can skew your feelings for someone I trust your judgement but I just don't want you to get hurt" he said 
"I know but I'm an adult now I can look after myself" I said 
"Just know if anything goes south I now know where he lives and I'm not afraid to show him he can't hurt my sister" he half threatened half joked 
"Like you could win a fight" I laughed 
"I'm starting to wonder why I agreed to drive you" he joked 
Once we arrived Alonso helped me up to Pablo's door even though I was fine doing it myself and he rung the doorbell just as I was about to text Pablo to say I'd arrived. I think he just wanted to see Pablo and make sure I hadn't been given some random address but at the same time I felt embarrassed that when Pablo opened the door my brother would just be stood behind me like I'm a child but he probably won't even think about it. 
Surprisingly when Pablo answered the door he completely ignored Alonso and just pulled me in for a hug straight away. The hug wasn't very steady as the both of us still need our crutches for support but it still felt good to be in his arms. Just like the first time he hugged me I felt safe and like I was at home which I really shouldn't be feeling with a guy I've only met in person twice but it's just how I feel. Once we both pulled away he invited me in so I said goodbye to Alonso before happily going inside suddenly not caring about my brother and if he was going to pick me up later. 
Pablo was so sweet he made sure I was comfortable before going to get me some water even though I said I could do it myself. When he sat down there was an awkward silence for a minute before he asked me how I've been doing which started a conversation and suddenly it was like we had never been apart. It was like seeing an old friend that once you see each other it's like you haven't spent a minute apart even if it's been years. For some reason Pablo and I seemed to just connect with each other and I don't know if part of that is because we are going through the same thing or if we would've been the same if we'd met any other time in our lives. That doesn't matter though because we are friends now and I'm so happy to have someone like Pablo in my life. 
We talked about a whole lot of nothing for ages the time flew by so quickly that we didn't even realise that we hadn't moved for hours until we both said we were hungry at the exact same time which made us laugh. I offered to make lunch for the both of us but Pablo wouldn't let me he insisted that we order food so I tried to offer to pay half but he shut that down very quickly. I felt so bad because he's been doing so much for me and I feel like I'm not giving him anything in return but there's not much I can do as I don't have as big of a support system around me as Pablo does. 
"I feel bad you doing all this for me and I'm not helping you at all" I said 
"Don't say that you have done loads to help me whenever I need someone to talk to you are always there without your support I'd be such a mess don't feel like you have to physically do anything to help me your emotional support is what I need the most" he said 
"Ok but the second you do need anything other than emotional support please tell me and I'll do it" I said 
"I promise I'll call you if I need anything ok as long as you promise not to stress about this again" he said 
"I promise" I replied 
Soon enough our food arrived and after we ate we went back to talking. As we were talking I happened to mention that I'd never played fifa purely because I'd never had much of an interest in football before but as soon as I said that Pablo handed me a controller and started loading fifa. I had no idea what I was doing so he had to teach me all the controls and how the game works but once he'd done that we went straight in. I was so shit at the game I could barely move the players so Pablo beat me 10-0 like it was nothing and I could tell he wasn't even trying. I had no choice but to laugh at how bad I was but Pablo was determined to teach me so he made me sit right next to him so he could help me. Pablo set it up so we were playing against someone random and when the game started he put his hands on top of mine to help me with the controls. We did really well which was a surprise because the whole time all I could think about was the fact that Pablo's hands were on mine and that his body was so close to mine. 
Even after we stopped playing we still sat right next to each other and Pablo had one arm resting behind my back. I could feel my breathing getting quicker by the second but luckily my phone saved me as it started ringing so I had to answer it which made things a lot less awkward. It was my brother asking me when I wanted to be picked up and telling me if I needed him to pick me up it had to be before a certain time as he had something to do. I made him wait a second while I talked to Pablo and we agreed that it would be best if Alonso came to pick me up which meant we had about an hour left together. 
The hour went by so quickly but it was ok because Pablo and I already agreed that we should see each other more often and he promised to text me when he was next free. After taking my stuff from me Alonso waited in the car while I said goodbye to Pablo. He hugged me first before he leaned down and kissed my cheek. In that moment I was so thankful that it was starting to get dark outside as otherwise Pablo would've seen my cheeks turn a bright shade of pink at feeling his lips on me. After that we said goodbye and I hobbled away as quickly as I possibly could only to be met with teasing remarks from my brother once I got in the car which earned him a punch in the arm so he shut up after that leaving me to think about what just happened.

You probably get this asked a lot but do you have any particular things you keep in mind when writing in your journal? I started recently and it's been great but I find that Only recapping my day gets to be a bit tedious (esp when I don't go outside much lol) so I was curious what you do to keep motivated with it ! Ur sticker layouts are always so cutes btw I'm very inspired by them ^_^💖
Yeah! I mainly journal for Memory Keeping as i have a weird obsession with wanting to keep track of anything/everything, so i just think of what future cheye would want to know, instead of just recapping day.
Makes me really sad bc in college all i had energy to write was like "ate x went to class went to mailroom went to class 2 had x for dinner 1 am now goodnight" and its like. What about. The whole rest of it!! What did u do who did you talk to when was it that you saw a raccoon irl for the first time!!! Were you stressing over assignments?? Which and why!!! I have 0 tangible, meaningful, memories of what happened now. Just sterile clinical ones. :(
I do track things consistently like my rating for the day, the time i woke up and the time i go to bed, what i ate, if i cried, along wit other personal stats (i like the numbers!). Sometimes I also dont Do anything in a day so i just focus on other things, like taking the opportunity to write about feelings a little bit, so future cheye Knows the state of mind i was in on a given day, or maybe talk about how I bought something and am excited to wear/use it
Not much happened today so I wrote about and included how my dad described the plot of to, and showed me, some scenes of The Untouchables 1987 today because a song always reminds him of that movie...
yesterday I wrote about how my sister and I are planning on trying some pillsbury cocoa rolls on thursday, since we couldn't today, and that I am Excited.
I don't know, its small things that I feel I'd appreciate in the future even if they seem silly or pointless right now...(and also good for keeping track of personal growth, as Im hoping I at one point get to pinpoint where my complaints about Not Wanting to Drive fade away from the entries. Ykwim?)
ITS KIND OF LIKE THAT ONE POST ON HERE...like "if you see this tag one delight from your day no matter how small". You ""force"" yourself to come up with something to pad the entry with, and I think it's small things like that that will be really telling of your time here, in the future ^_^ time capsule of the old you
like. Did you see something insanely funny? Did your best friend say something weird... Did the internet platforms you browse all rally over a war criminal dying... Is it still rainy and chilly like it was yesterday? Are you excited for your birthday even if its many months away... What series did you start rewatching? Did u get scared by a shadow while walking your dog...idk! Anything, everything

Can you make a story about Damon knowing reader likes him so he walks around shirtless to get a rise out of her.
I can't stare at you with everyone around | Damon Salvatore x Reader
my masterlist ↪M A S T E R L I S T
Tumblr media
Damon Salvatore, the hottest man in Mystic Falls.
I was his neighbour, also Elena's oldest sister so after Aunt Jenna's death her and Jer moved in with me in my townhouse which was nothing compared to the Salvatores.
To be fair, Elena and I practically lived with Stefan and Damon whilst Jeremy had the house to himself given the whole vampire hunter status and although Damon was a vampire that liked to get on everyones nerves, he did respect me and Elena enough not to kill our youngest sibling.
I've had a crush on Damon for as long as I can remember, I think thats a bad thing. Damon is a bad guy so no body should be able to care for him the way that I do.
"Alright, do you think Caroline would notice if there was 89 red balloons." Bonnie said over the speaker phone, Elena looks to me laughing and I chuckle "It's Caroline we are talking about, Of course she would notice." Elena responded.
Elena and I had been baking for the dance later on tonight, "So I suppose, Red Velvet cupcakes would go with the red balloons, pretty ballsy." I say "Yeah I guess so." Elena laughs.
"What are you guys doing?" Damon stumbles in with a bottle of bourbon "Y/n and I are baking, for the dance, you know the dance you were suppose to help with?" Elena questions Damon.
"Right, Well I didn't exactly feel like helping." Damon nods to us, he had been walking around shirtless for a couple of days while me, Elena and Bonnie were planning stuff at their house.
"Just like you didn't feel like putting on a shirt today?" I ask him "Or yesterday." I state "And the day before" Elena chimes in "Right and the day before that" I nod agreeing with her.
"So what? I don't feel like wearing a shirt around my house, whose gonna stop me. It's my house?" Damon throws his arms up.
Although I did just finish complaining about the half naked vampire in front of me and my little sister, I didn't mind the sight. The sight being his sculpted torso, each ab being placed perfectly not to mention the way he doesn't even have to mention it for somebody to look at his abs.
"y/n" a muffled voice said behind me, the voice continued to say my name, slowly pulling me back to reality "yes, yes what." I spin around slightly agitated. "try it" Elena says stuffing the cupcake into my mouth.
I bite it, swallowing it turning back to Damon "it's tasty" I say still staring at him whilst he stared at my sister "i don't uh like cakes though. you know that, give damon one." I smile to her and she nods giving one to Damon and he starts eating it.
"oh these are great, are you sure caroline needs them?" he asks and I nod "she needs them like you need that shirt I mentioned earlier." I mumbled taking the rubbish out of his hand and putting it in a bin.
"I don't get why I need to wear a shirt, is there something you haven't seen before?" he asks walking up next to me "Oh Matt just called I'll be right back." Elena says answering her phone and walking out of the kitchen.
"It's just children in the house, Damon, a shirt should be a rule when there is children." I say rinsing off the baking tray and bowl, placing them into the dishwasher.
"I think there is another reason." he says closing the dishwasher with his leg "well n- hey" I look at him annoyed punching his chest. My fist touching his bare skin sending shivers down my spine.
"tell me, before I compel it out of you." he says, his tone getting lower than usual "luckily vervain exists and you used to have a basement full of it." I sigh.
"So then what's the problem?" he asks, the heat basically radiating off of my head as he asks me once more 'what's the problem with no shirt.'
"god its because I find you hot, and I can't stare at you with everyone around including my sister who is dating your brother. It's just weird." I say smacking him out of the way of the dishwasher continuing to place the rinsed dishes in there.
"you find me hot?" he says "well thats not the only thing, but yes you're good looking." I say "and if that whole no shirt thing was to get a rise out of my, I will torture you till deaths end." glaring at him as he steps back kind of frightened by what I just said "jesus christ y/n, no it wasn't" he chuckles.
"I know it was, you little liar." narrowing my eyes at him, closing the dishwasher. "now can you start this thing, im young but dishwashers are confusing." I say rubbing the sweat off my forehead point to the dishwasher and he scoffs "you find me hot" he says under his breath, starting the dishwasher cycle.
"are you going to put that shirt on now?" I ask him and he nods "pft no. I like to know your eyes are on me and not any other man. Makes me special." he winks walking out of the room.
God I just can't shake him, shirt or not.

We left at 4:30 pm yesterday and didn't get back until 10:30 pm. The event itself was only from about 6:30 pm to about 8:00 pm. So much of yesterday was spent just traveling to and from the event (why do I have to live so far away from my Synagogue) ... I wound up needing two extra hours of sleep this morning, my body hurts so bad I legitimately feel like I got run over by a Mack Truck, all of the nerves in my thighs especially are shot, and my entire respiratory system is congested to Antarctica and back- all completely normal effects of me traveling for the day every time I go long distances with my Fibro ... But God was the travel for the Synagogue's fundraiser event so ultimately beyond worth it all.
I got to experience Havdalah for the first time (I literally cried at the beauty of it). I sat for hours talking to the Rabbis (both mine, and her Husband who is also a Rabbi in his own right) about so many ridiculous and random things. I met one of my other Conversion Classmates finally (she's so sweet and quiet). I met the girl whose Bat Mitzvah I cried over online (she is so lovely). I got to see the individual who invited us to Shabbat Dinner at their home last time we were there for service- and met their partner and their roommate, too (they're all so incredibly nice- and they showed me some photos of the new hides they're working on for the Torah Scrolls).
I even got to out myself about my pronouns, and tell the story about how @grandmother-jay decided I was her "Lizard" instead of her "Sister" when I first came out to her as It / Its Agender- and how that segways into a joke about "no Gender, only Frog" because of my Fibro and the skin issues that come with it. And they all laughed. And they all loved it. And one was happy they were no longer "the only one with the weird pronouns at Shul anymore".
I haven't laughed or cried that hard in decades. And I'm completely beside myself about it ... Absolutely struck by how, three years ago, I sat here on Tumblr crying and trying to figure out where to go after I'd left Irish Reconstructionism because of all the toxicity I'd encountered; broken and despondent at the loss of yet another religious community I desperately wanted to love and accept me ... Thinking, trying to figure out what I needed most out of religion to fulfil me- and settling on "Community" as my absolute; my driving need that I had to fulfil above all else in order to sustain myself.
All I could think of last night was how, sitting at that table, I had never felt more welcome and accepted anywhere in the world, in all of my life; that I'd finally found it after decades of sticking out, and not fitting in, constantly being rejected and too pained to try again everywhere I went, putting up walls to protect myself. I feel Human, and Seen, and Loved, and everything here just feels so incredibly right in every way, and I am sobbing over it.
Every encounter I have- every additional step I take- is just further confirmation. Not only that this was the correct path for me to begin with, and that I made the right choice (not just for my Ancestors, but for myself). But also that putting my absolute faith in HaShem to deliver the way for me when the time was right, was the best thing I have ever done for myself.

hiii :)
I saw you’re taking fluff requests at the moment so here I am😍
More or less this scenario was ghosting around in my dreams yesterday;
The reader's a very silent, calm person, not really talking much and always leaving parties or gatherings early. Loki is somehow intrigued by her mysterious nature but when he started trying to get closer to her, she just thought he was kidding (she thought of herself as boring and weird). One day Loki found out the real reason for her former 'aversion' and set up a romantic dinner or something to convince her of the authenticity of his feelings…❣️
If it’s something you would want to work with I would be so happy. Thank you so much!!! :)
So, I am a naturally loud and assertive person, and I think nearly all of my Reader characters have reflected this, so this will be different for me to write, but great practice! Hope this finds you and makes your day, anon!
“The God and the Wallflower”
Summary: After a lifetime of being the unassuming background player, you don’t understand why the most interesting being you know is fascinated by you.
Pairing: Loki x Shy!Reader Content Warning: descriptions of verbal/emotional bullying (although this WILL be fluff so nothing too intense) Word Count: 1.5K (sorry, this became a little longer than a drabble)
Tumblr media
Always against the wall at the party. Always in the shadows outside. Always the ensemble player in the musical. Now, you were the secretary in a sea of superheroes.
As a girl with a gifted twin sister, you grew up essentially looking out for your own needs. Your parents, the desperate social-climbers they were, lavished attention, praise, and extras on your twin, who got straight-As in school, led the color guard to their first national championships, and got a full-ride to Columbia U, all while you couldn’t even make editor of the school paper because the advisor forgot you’d even signed up. Your twin was also a beauty, somehow, she’d gotten the bright redheaded gene that made her stand out even more in the family. You just had your plain, frizzy, brown hair that often got dry. Your sister was a thin, graceful, interesting lady. You were much more of a dumpy, lumpy, faceless being.
Of course, this meant in school you got the comparisons from teachers and the taunting from bullies about how there was no way you weren’t adopted. You became an adult with your only superpower being your resourcefulness, but that could only get you a nice job as opposed to what you really wanted: friendship, companionship, maybe even a romance. Not a single person of any gender cared to look your way. Not because you were ugly (you weren’t), but because your natural ability to blend in rendered you invisible, so you chose not to fight it, and instead resign yourself to your lot.
You did pull off one amazing feat that your perfect sister never could, however: Tony Stark hired you to be his second-shift personal assistant at the Avenger’s compound in Dutchess County, NY. He was the type of guy who needed so much help that he needed a right hand for every hour of the day. Because of your natural resourcefulness and quick mind, he appreciated your ability to introduce him to everyone at a part whom he vaguely remembered but couldn’t quite put a name to. He also almost immediately admitted that he’d liked you because you didn’t seem “the type to get in the way.”
Tonight, however, was a victory celebration, and while celebrities and Avengers mingled, you weren’t of much use. So, you took your usual position along the far wall and people-watched until the earliest possible time you could go home.
Watching the Avengers mingle could be entertaining on its’ own. Steve, of course, was a hit with the ladies. Bruce and Natasha tended to work the crowds as a unit. Whenever Clint could get away from his family, he’d usually be cracking jokes with Thor somewhere in the middle of the room. Wanda and Vision usually stayed close as a couple, and like you, they were more of the wallflower type…but at least they had each other.
You looked at your watch nervously, hoping that it was midnight, when Stark would allow you to head home. Drat! It was only 9:41.
“You look like a woman with a lot of stories.”
Startled, you gasped lightly and turned your head to your left, where someone had joined you against the wall.
Thor’s shady brother Loki was the one who had initiated the conversation. You hadn’t seen that much of him since your hiring. He was one who preferred keeping to himself in the library, or sometimes drinking with his brother after most of the others were gone or asleep.
He unsettled you a little, and not because of his trickery or history with trying to conquer cities. He always walked through a room like a knife through butter, quick, confident, knowing where he was going. Although, his confident stride, along with his long block curls and devilish grin, kind of made him attractive to you. Sometimes you found yourself looking at him with interest in crowded situations where you could disguise your gazes as something else. But Loki was (technically) an Avenger, and thus, he could have his pick of any of the beauties (or studs) in the room. No matter how you felt about him, he was leagues above you, and really should have been on the arm of a model or actor or politician’s child.
So why was he here talking to the sentient cardboard cutout who’d never said a word directly to anyone in the room who wasn’t Stark?
You shook your head silently. No, not here, you thought. Would someone really stoop to mocking me here?
“My intention wasn’t to startle you,” Loki apologized. “But I’ve been keeping an eye on you most of the evening, and I’ve been biding my time, but I’ve been hoping to get acquainted with you for a time now.”
You looked down, embarrassed that you were already beginning to feel tears forming. “Please, don’t.”
Loki looked at you with concern. “What is it, Y/N? I assure you I’m—”
“—I can’t do this tonight,” you blurted out, brushing past Loki and quickly leaving the room, leaving the God standing there, confused and hurt.
Loki couldn’t believe how completely he had just struck out. It wasn’t something he was used to, especially when he’d been planning on how to approach you for nearly a week, and deciding that this soiree was the opportune moment.
“Ooof, bad idea, Vixen,” said Tony, sliding over to Loki, still dumbfounded and hurt at the rejection.
“I barely said ten words, and she wouldn’t—”
“—there’s a few things you should know about her,” Stark explained. “She’s extremely shy.”
“Why is that? She’s beautiful,” Loki said quietly.
“She grew up with a sister who was great at everything and always got the attention. I hired her because she’s got incredible self-reliance, so I barely have to explain anything to her. She never quite lived up to the bar her twin set, and when she felt short, she was usually shut out for it. When I hired her, she actually asked me if I was feeling okay.”
Well, if anyone understands what it’s like to live in the shadow of a better sibling, it’s me, Loki thought as he bit his lip. “I was too forward, then.”
“Big time, Bambi.”
He sighed. “Well, what do you recommend?”
Tony shrugged. “Getting someone like her to believe she’s special enough isn’t going to be easy, but it may be the only way to convince someone that stubborn.”
Loki smiled. “Not to worry, I already have something in mind.”
------------------------------------------------------------------
The following evening, Tony unexpectedly relieved you of duty a few hours early, saying he wanted to have a date night with Pepper. “But,” he added, “before you do, could you go out to the roof and check for a file I may have dropped the other day?”
You snorted. “Why did you have a personal file on the roof?” you asked softly. “You always tell me they don’t leave the basement.”
“Because…well…” Tony stumbled over his words for a second. “Just…go to the roof for five minutes before you leave, okay? Damn this sappy shit…” he mumbled under his breath, walking away before you could ask more.
Groaning, you obeyed and made your way up the floors, opening the door to the roof and not expecting to find a table set for two, tea lights strung up all over, a record player emitting soft, gentle, romantic music, and Loki standing awkwardly by the table.
“Oh my…” you felt a pang of nausea in your gut, and you instantly went to turn around.
“No, please, Y/N!” Loki called after you. “I’m in earnest!”
You stopped and shook your head. “There’s no way.”
Loki walked toward you, holding out a hand. “I set this up for you, and I don’t go to such trouble for people I deem less than worthy of my attention.”
You crossed your arms over your chest. “You have me all wrong. I’m really nothing.”
“Stark said you’ve been through things, that you’re used to keeping quiet because that’s what everyone expects of you,” he said. “Y/N, the same thing happened to me. Do you not remember who my brother is?”
You found the courage to look Loki in the eye for the first time. “I don’t understand. Why me? I’m the most plain, boring, unassuming—”
Loki shook his head and dared to take your hand, bringing it to his lips and laying a gentle kiss on it. “May I ask you something? Do you think me someone who wastes their time with common people?”
You shrugged silently.
“Well, I don’t. So please, take this as a gesture of my interest,” Loki said, indicating the beautiful set up he’d worked all afternoon to perfect for you. “I want to know your story, and please, leave out no details. I want to savor every chapter of you.”
You still didn’t understand why or how, but looking into Loki’s icy blue eyes and seeing the sincerity in them unlocked your heart, and you decided in that moment to exercise cautious trust, and to give the man access to your soul.
“Well,” you said, finally smiling and letting yourself open up slowly, like a rose bud, “I guess if that’s true, the sooner we start, the better.”
Your heart fluttered when you realized Loki wasn’t dropping your hand as he guided you towards the supper table. For the first time, you felt ready to open up to someone.
Well, here it goes…

About A School of Good and Evil
Tumblr media
I watched this movie yesterday and despite not really being ‘gray story’, it still caught me and make me continue because of dear protagonists of the movie. The relationship between Sophie and Agatha is one of the sweetest thing i’ve ever seen.
*Be carefull for the spoilers for movie and book*
Tumblr media
(When i heard those names, first thing came to my mind was Sophie and Agatha from Witch Hat Ateiler, lol and both series is about witches so it was weird but anyway.)
Tumblr media
Ok, i do know that this movie is adaptation of its book (Btw, i really like the drawing and painting of book) and they changed a lot. Such as Sophie and Agatha is twins sisters, Sophie is actually ‘meaner’ in book etc etc. But i honestly dont care about the book because i think movie is kinda better, not everything but some part of it.
For example;
Tumblr media
There is this consisting writing in many stories that ‘if a girl acts fake, which means they are evil.’ meanwhile ‘tsundere, rude girl is actually honest and sincere so they are good’. I mean, i get the point here but thats is not that simple. We are living in a society where we are supposed to act like ‘certain normal way’, we all pretend at some point. Not because we are evil but because we are scared of being rejected or judged by other people, sometimes, it is for survival. I am not saying that its heathy behavour, it is unhealthy but still, it definitely doesnt make people bad and people who just say whatever they think in their mind with the name of ‘honesty’, they are far more awfull than person showing ‘fake kindness’ to not be disliked. Because one of them act fake because they are scared, other one is simply just doesnt care about what other people thinks. Of course, this is not always the case but most of the time, this is the case. Because people are people. This is why i kinda dislike this type of writing. This is why i like movie version better than book version.
Tumblr media
I dont really have problem with book Agatha, it seems similar anyway (kinda like book Agatha apperance better cause she looks more like witch but while movie Sophia’s apperance fits better to story, i thnk) but well, i like Movie Sophie far better. She is literally my favorite character cause of the way she was written and i think it fits better to plot cause people are just people. Apperantly, in book, those girls are written as beatifull girl with ugly heart and ugly girl with beatifull heart but in movie, they BOTH were good girls with opposite personalities and apperances.
Sophie is girly girl who care about her apperance, she has manners, she is in love with fairy tale stories and she wants to be like one so that she can be ‘special’, just like her dead mother told her. She wants to be rich, special and i think there is nothing wrong with that. She has just immature way of looking world which is understandable since she doesnt like her current life. Even later her realizing that she is already special without ever needing to have ‘fairy tale story’ life, that she learns to be okay with normal life.
Meanwhile, Agatha is more like tough girl. She has more realistic and mature world view. She is rude and couldnt care less about what others think about her. She is fine as long as she has her mother and her dear friend. She doesnt have much expectations from world, she just goes with it. She also has her own taste (ghost stories etc).
Tumblr media
Even the way they met with each others is so sweet.They both are outcasts, despite being so different. Because they are both ‘weirdos’ for others. Sophie cause she lives in dreamworls and Agatha cause she looks like a witch. But they have each others.
Honestly, this writing far better than its book so i would like to see this one as original.
Tumblr media
And i personally didnt like the ‘romance’ in movie. Not saying that straight relationship shouldnt happen but i just didnt like the relationship between Tedros and Agatha. Not the ‘you are not like the other girls’ talk, ooof. If Sophie was gonna be together, it should’ve been with someone who loves him (not the evil x evil bullsht cause i think she is good). And if Agatha was gonna be with someone, i wish it was Gregor because they fit better. He could be her prince but they made mr charming as main male protagonist cause well, it is. (Dont get me wrong, i think Tedros is fine guy, he might be really good guy, i just didnt like their so called romance).
And another thing i dont like about both movie and book is that all that ‘nothing is black and white or good and evil’ conversation only to end up with ‘well they are evil and we are good so’ which is condracts with itself. It could’ve written a lot better.
Tumblr media
I could literally watch whole show about Sophie and Agatha’s adventures, movie felt short, well, it has book for a reason but since i didnt like the way book continue and handled its story, i just like the movie.
And romantic or not, i dont care, Sophie x Agatha forever, they should be together. They are each other’s true love no matter what.

I can’t sleep and have a headache, I’m in pain and sober ( weed would help 2/3 at the least)for some stupid reason. So, I’ll rant.
I went skating (as in skateboard) yesterday
did my first ever 50-50 trick (skate trick) at 40
but also pulled a muscle in my upper thigh and I’m limping a bit and it hurts. (Hi, It’s me, Pedri without free accessible healthcare)
A girl flirted/hit on me and I can’t thinking about it bc, maybe I liked the attention? and she’s cute? I get plenty of attention at home though, dunno wtf is going on.
I forgot to call my mom on her bday but I called her today and we talked like an hour and it was nice. I like my mom a lot. I don’t want her to die, ever. My dad’s death anniversary was last week and I just realized yesterday. None of us surviving family members said anything either, guess we rather forget.
The call with mom also made me realize I barely call anyone anymore, ever. Last time my older sister called I didn’t pick up and have ghosted her since. I told my mom I’m being anti social atm. I need to call my pregnant younger sister. I guess I’m the asshole.
I text with a lot of people that I don’t know IRL and have neglected a lot of my IRL friends. I even have neglected online friends I like a lot. I still chat people a bit too much, I’m afraid.
I think my current obsession with Barça on tumblr and tumblr in general helps me focus on something else but myself when I’m stuck creatively or emotionally.
I need to finish writing 4 songs that I started and are almost done. One about staring at your crush, one about dreaming of people that have passed away, one about Messi (in the most non-obvious way) and one about leaving everything behind to move somewhere else to remake your life. It is annoying to feel like I can’t when I’m perfectly able to. They are 80-90% done.
Right now I’m in between jobs doing some gigs and the break in routine and extra time to do fun stuff things has been , instead of being liberating, weird.
My fav girl friend has been really busy lately and I fucking hate it. I feel needy. And I hate it.
My boyfriend is amazing, thank god he’s there. My bff. I am a mess rn. He was trolling me a week ago saying “I read this list of symptoms of depressed people and you checked out most of them” and I laughed at him and he was like 😅. I’m not depressed. It’s okay. I have depressive tendencies from anxiety but that’s it. I’m a hedonist most of the time, anyway. 🤣 Very few fucks given but active existencial dread.
My health/body has been changing since I hit 40 and it’s pissing me off. Also I kinda stop caring care of myself for a second but getting back on track. Also need to start saving money for all the “hey you hit 40 so you may have this” health test, like cancer screenings and shit. But hey, better old than dead.
and….I need a hug. And to write poems but they won’t come out. I don’t need anyone to do anything. I just need to get it out of my system.
I wish you were here and not so far away, you know this. I punched my pillow today like I told you I wanted to. I wish it was easier.
We had a friend as a house guest for a week and he just left today without telling us, even though he was supposed to be here 2 more weeks and now he said he is with a dude we don’t talk to anymore. lol wtf is wrong with people?! can’t they be normal?!!!! You can say you wanna go see a friend, why just disappear and tell us a one like text when we asked where the fuck you are. He may come back? I dunno ahahahah. Maybe its our bad for having a bunch of moody musicians as friends.
Also, like my bf jokes all the time….when I die, be happy for me because I won’t have to pay any more bills.
Maybe this was too real but IDGAF. The end.

Went to Hamilton yesterday and want to talk about my many thoughts
Good things:
The chorus was great, both in terms of choreography and voice, the backing vocals really elevated quite a few performances. I especially liked watching the bullet going around doing her thing since I came in knowing that was a thing to look out for.
Jefferson/Lafayette and Peggy/Maria were the definitive stand out performances. Peggy had a beautiful voice and the moment I heard her in ‘Schuyler Sisters’ I was hyped to see her as Maria and she killed it 10/10. And I was really surprised at how good Lafayette's French accent and ability to do that really fast rap while still being understandable was, and he did an amazing Jefferson in the second half.
The live orchestra did an amazing job, the instrumental was very nice.
The lighting was also very good, the colour theming was a really nice touch and they did a great job.
I liked it when they spun George Washington around on a staircase on wheels. I just thought that was cool.
I actually wasn't sure about Burr in ‘Wait For It’ but he really saved it in ‘The Room Where It Happens’ and onward. Same with George Washington. I was initially unsure of him when he was rapping but God can that man sing.
The costume design was great. I especially liked King George's comically large glittery crown. It was like the size of his whole head, maybe bigger, amazing.
Bad things
The biggest problem for me was the added 'humour', long awkward pauses, funny voices, etc. I get why they did it, they wanted to put their own spin on it. It just didn't land for me and really took me out of the performance at points. For example Alexander put on a funny voice for his 'wait for its' in ‘The Room Where It Happened’ which really jarred me, especially as Burr was putting so much into his performance in that song.
Relating to that, I really didn't like Young Phillip. They added a like... squeal and boyish tap when Hamilton complimented him, and while I was willing to suspend my disbelief for the original awkward rap from an obvious adult, that was just too much for me. I never want to see that moment ever again in my life it was so bad.
Also, I don't know if they always do this but king George was sitting in the corner of the cabinet battles making funny faces like a reaction youtuber and I don't understand why.
They changed some of the words, just randomly in the lyrics. The most notable example for me was in ‘Story of Tonight (reprise)’ where instead of saying that the soldiers have been returned to their masters they said Lauren's dream died with him which just felt really weird?? Like it just felt really off. There were a few other lines that while less jarring still caught me by surprise and while I can understand adding the humour to an extent I can't understand why they did this one.
Finally, the change I understand least. For some reason they made every character we're supposed to be against (Mr. Reynolds, Charles Lee, Jefferson, King George, literally all of them) like blatantly flamboyantly queer coded. Why did they do this? They haven't done this with any character we were supposed to like. It wasn't like this in the original. I tried to ignore it but they were so obvious about it that I couldn't understand why they did this???

vent that gives too much of my lore so we're putting it under the cut
you know I always thought that my dad would end up being financially supportive when I was at this stage of life because he always told me that he would and it's strange being here now as an adult and seeing how little he has done for me. especially now that I have a good relationship with my step mom and I'm aware of how much he has actively fucked me over.
I used to have a lot in my savings because I was getting social security checks since my mom passed away when I was 15 but a good portion of that savings was drained when I had to put sophie into boarding because we moved in with my step mom. she had severe cat allergies and I had to give her away but I spent so much fucking money on boarding and I found out yesterday that my dad had known I would need to get rid of her for months and months before we even moved in. he just didn't tell me because he wanted me to drop off my cat at the aspca. never did he think that I would want to do anything with her besides that. he didn't think to even give me the option. it's always pissed me off that I had to get rid of sophie because he never tried to defend me in keeping her in some capacity when I loved that cat more than anything in the world. but now I know that he knew about the inevitability of me having to give her away and he let my savings drain on purpose. the money that came from me having a dead mother.
my dad sucks and I am becoming more and more aware of it the more I talk to my step mom because I'm finding about the extent of how much he lies to both me and her and how terrible he talks about me to family. he took months to introduce me to them because of how embarrassed he was of me. which is something he told my step mom actually. because I was trans and gay and nothing he wanted he didn't want to involve me in that life. any time they'd invite me through him he'd lie and say I didn't want to go so I never even got to know them before we ended up moving in with them.
I always felt shy around my step family because of that and I was convinced that I was weird and that they hated me but I found out that my dad told them that I liked staying in my room on my computer because I liked that my online friends all had the same opinions as me and I thought that I was better than them. what an awful fucking thing to tell the family you married into about your child. there were so many cases of things like that where I'd do anything and they'd react strange because of something my dad told them about me. I never even got a chance.
I'm also finding out that my step mom and step sister are the only people who defend ME from him because he is so transphobic that he strictly refers to trans people as "its." he still has a strange separation between me and trans people though. still in denial about it I guess.
there's just so much sabotage in my relationship with my dad and being aware of it is overwhelming to me because it was just all the time. for no fucking reason. and only now am I fully aware of it. I'm happy I'm on my own. I wish things could've been better. I think I deserved so much more than this

ok so ik that having siblings has its ups and downs but honestly what seems to bother me most is that you are STUPID and try to act like you're cool or smart or as if I'm the dumb one.
I got this conclusion at last because I'm snapping at my little brother and I'm trying to hard to honestly understand his perspective but he doesn't seem to even try to do that for me and as someone that is also a younger sibling towards my older siblings it's frustrating.
These last few days haven't really been the best since I lost my new headphones which frustrates me because I always end up losing my stuff and honestly it's not my fault I have always have had bad memory and they end up giving me comments I cannot even express because if I do I'd be in trouble, but anyways back to the point lol.... yesterday me and my little brother were playing games like guess what animal I am or person I am at my aunt's home and he did me then I was like ok bet so I did and the end it was 3 him 2 me and then I decided to stop bc what's the point of arguing let's have fun to then today we had church and I had a seat at the corner which I love but my family hates bc they think that makes me less involved to church lol I think it's absurd but I see why they think that way, and so I left for a moment to the restroom and had a small talk with myself to the mirror lol and when I went back I found my little brother sitting on the seat I was on and I know it shouldn't be a bit deal but he saw me sitting there and still decided to sit there even when I came back he could've been like oh sorry and moved to the other seat but no he was like what? you left 🙄 and my sister was like what? it's true.. and so that bothered me a whole lot because you don't just go on around taking somebody else's seat just bc they left you would've told them oh excuse me I'm sitting there or that's my seat or something right?
Not just that I kept giving him the cold shoulder but at the end of the day I decided it shouldn't really bother me he's a kid and I'm not so I tried not to even though they were acting like I was being extra and weird like omg is she angry why idk she's about to get her period probably like B**** no TF I'm not I had it 2 weeks ago it ain't coming till 2 more weeks or so like why does a period always have to be the reason of me being emotional like tf!?!?
When we came back home it was time to sleep I tried expressing myself to my little brother and then again he always tries to make me feel dumb and less. Like is that the only word you know like why don't you say the a word the s word or the f word
Like oh shit my bad but I'm not tryna hurt your feelings bc if I did you would never forget what i said but I hold back my younger for the sake of how much I don't want to hurt you but it bothers me how you try to be a smartass with me when you know I'm right and the fact that you want to be right when you're wrong and it's obvious you are like just shut up.
At the end I didn't want to argue anymore its bed time so why even go to sleep mad so I said out loud you should go and brush your teeth idk why you're still here petting my dog and he was like ok ok ok interrupting me and he said I'll leave you and your phone then yeah you and your phone continuously interrupting me tryna get me in trouble bc he knows we're not allowed to use the phones after 8.

Twisted Wonderland theory
In this I’ll be talking about a very interesting theory that I saw on tumbler, by darkspellmaster, a theory that Yuu/the mc is mickey’s heart.
If you want to get my version plus added points, you should read their theory first, it is heavily pressed by the theory that mickey is the mickey from Epic Mickey.
This entirely my own brainstorming, so don’t take it too seriously.
So, from the information we have, we know that Yuu is from an alternative universe or reality. They have no memory, supposedly, of how they got here and why they’re missing any form of identification, but the mirror assures that he makes no mistake and refuse to send Yuu back even if they have no magic.
This is when it becomes complicated, from my own ideas and info from the masquerade event translations, I believe that everyone in the twisted wonderland has magic but only 10% have enough of it or can control it.
! Spoilers ahead for the masquerade event!
We find out that Yuu is unaffected by the crimson lotus flowers, so Yuu, Grim and Trein get sent to help the villagers. But if only ten percent of the twisted can use magic, how are all these people affected? Maybe it's not everyone but this is a theory, bear with me!
That could possibly mean that everyone in the twisted wonderland have magic, but only ten percent
can use it or have enough for it to be usable. But Yuu is from an alternative world, one without magic.
So, my idea is that the mirror is like a guardian of the magic, that’s why people get chosen by it and not a test, so to help with the influx of overblots in the future, they bring a human from a magicless world but also someone they KNOW will help and be benevolent and empathic!
But who could they be sure would be, Mickey’s heart from an alternative world, someone who will never be influenced by overblots.
Now back to Grim, let's be honest there's no way he could’ve sneaked past the mirror and his amnesia, that’s very similar to ours, is suspicious...
So, the mirror must’ve let him get in on purpose, because Yuu needs someone to defend them and
act like the body. While Yuu is the heart, Grim is the body, exactly like Crowley said two student that make one!
To reinforce my point, let's look at Kalim and Jamil’s case. My theory is that Jamil with his magic, talent at teaching and taking care of others must’ve been supposed to become the dorm head but after being put down so much and creating an inferiority complex, he must’ve obtained a superiority complex. This must have led the mirror to deem, Jamil, not an acceptable head boy anymore. So, a month later, Kamil was sent a letter, he became the new head boy.
So, it's entirely possible, Yuu and Grim were both brought for this exact reason, the mirror makes no mistake.
!MORE SPOILERS, CHAPTER 7!
Another thing that furthers my point is the events during chapter 7, the diasomnia chapter. Everyone gets sent to their own dreams by malleus, so why do Yuu and Grim go into mickey’s dream
room, they’re basically in mickey’s dream. Only Silver whose unique magic is basically going into people’s dreams could do this.
A little extra, I also believe that the mirror controls our weird dreams. They show us the stories to prepare us and to make us understand what we’re about to go through and what the character is relating to. I also think that they are deciding when to let mickey meet us, they probably also put us into mickey’s dream instead of our own, to help us understand mickey and how the world works or maybe not...?
That’ll be all for now, its farfetched I know, but once you really think about it, it makes a LOT of sense!

My sister and I were talking about those kinds of stans yesterday actually, it's weird when i see people treat russia and japan as "uwu baby they did nothing wrong" and us, being both korean and uzbek, just standing there like "im not even here baby im just a hallucination 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️" I dont consider them baby because of all the suppression and cultural erasure and draining our resources dry for their benefit
We both concluded by saying those people + the weird breed of people that write the stereotypes into fanfiction(like korea constantly talking about how X originated in korea) + the other guys that cosplayed and did the thing at the monument, they just don't understand the entire point of hetalia, like it just flew past their heads. The point is satire, and taking it seriously means they don't understand or are ready for hetalia.
I'm quite new to this fandom, though i've heard of how crazy the fandom used to be with all those incidents, and assuming a lot were teens, makes me wonder how i didn't end up like them(thankfully) since i'm about the age of a lot of those fangirls back then. Maybe there was less awareness because of less resources or the emphasis to do your own research?
I'm just dumping my own thoughts here
so there's a lot of reasons the hetalia fandom was so obnoxiously insensitive, starting with the fact that... hetalia itself is obnoxiously insensitive, especially in its early years.
also fandom culture and honestly American culture as a whole was just drastically different from what it is now. people were vaguely aware that they were possibly being insensitive, they just didn't care. there's a reason the phrase 'political correctness' doesn't get used nearly as much nowadays as it used to be- being sensitive and courteous to others at the expense of something you enjoy was generally seen as unreasonably absurd. if someone was uncomfortable by a piece of media, that was very much a "that's a you problem, not me" thing. it was a difference in expectations; since we were all used to being made uncomfortable by others' lack of courtesy, there was an expectation that you get thicker skin and get over it. and none of this was totally conscious either, it was just how society operated.
and of course I'm painting broad strokes here but just believe me when I say that ""cancel culture,"" if you want to call it that, has made people far, far more aware and considerate of others than we were even just a decade ago. but because the hetalia fandom was made up of teenagers and the culture was what it was, it just didn't occur to people to even think about that kind of courtesy because they just weren't in the habit of doing it. courtesy is a skill that has to be taught, and learning how to be courteous is kinda the main goal of teenage years.
the cosplayers at the Holocaust memorial thing was really bad though. we all knew that. that was bad.

Random Thoughts on HTTYD RoB S1 (Ep7-13)
Ep7- Hiccup trying to teach Stoick how to ride Toothless is like that one time I tried to teach my grandma how to go back on the TV programming, so she could watch that one novela that passed too late at night for her to watch when it was on normally
She ended up erasing a show my sister had recorded three months prior for when school was over.... So yeah, perhaps Hiccup, I would keep the control over the remote- I mean, Toothless
Stoick is gonna get himself on the wrong side of a well-deserved plasma blast if he keeps being this level of disrespectful to both Toothless and his son
Astrid always has been and always will be Hiccup's favorite person to vent to
Oh, a Thunderdrum huh? I remember you guys from RttE
You know, Stoick's comment about Meatlug, refering to her as a mother, made me wonder. Fishlegs is super needy, his extremely fast attachment to Meatlug makes me think he might've been touch-starved before she appeared in his life. Where are his parents?? Did this kid receive that little affection in his life?? That he's this dependent on Meatlug
I gotta say Im not the biggest fan of how Stoick and the Thunderdrum became partners - it was too easy
And uh, no you didn't listen, otherwise the Thunderdrum wouldn't have ran away
Ep8- Another Stoick/Hiccup episode? Alright
Snotlout doing an impression of Hamish the 1st just gave me such Draco Malfoy vibes, it was weird
Okay, Stoick the heck, that's an awful thing to say to your son
Fishlegs is a great lookout, you guys just might as well be deaf
I love that Gobber immediately understood that Hiccup was upset about the painting - he really is his 2nd dad
Like, I know they were never gonna be too difficult, but these clues are just, extremely simple
"Isn't our friendship treasure enough??" Fishlegs is such a freaking sweetheart i cannot-
We're not gonna question how a viking from that era was able to create such intricate and kind of impossible-looking mechanisms are we?
Wow, the twins and Snotlout were completely useless. Astrid and Fishlegs trying to unbury the rocks and those three just watching as if it was all a mere scene from a novela
Why would only a Hiccup be able to get to the treasure?? Are Hiccups the only smart vikings, is that it?
The easyness with which Stoick picked Hiccup up, I can't - he must be like a feather to him
Ep9- Trador Johann? Don't you mean- traitor Johann??
I'm sorry, I'm going home now
Thornado is not a very original name, but then again, Stoick never stroke me as a very original man either, so we're fine
Is it weird that I find Toothless's deadly sneezes adorable?
The way Tuff and Ruff spoke of Barf&Blech saddened me. They were talking about them as if they were a toy that lost its batteries
What history does Gobber have with Scauldrons
"I spent my whole life trying to kill them. Now look at me," - the "Valka" at the end of this sentence was unspoken but might as well have been said. He was talking to her when he said that and no one will be able to convince me otherwise
Okay, that scene with them extracting the venom from Mildew's butt was extremely unpleasant to me, ngl
Ep10- So this is Heather's introduction? Neat
"Remember, I found it, I get to keep it" that is so messed up, geez
"Hookfang, get your butt over here!" Hookfang promptly flies away - i love this dragon sm, i sweaaaaaar
Oh no, we're going the jealous route...? Save me, please, I don't wanna watch this kind of plot again
Hookfang is still offended about yesterday, this dragon is a gem
The twins just chilling with Barf&Belch on the arena's floor was so nice to see - they looked so comfy
"Ohhhh, Astrid's jealous of the pretty one! Why talk about hens and roosters??" Ya know, given the fact that you'll be in a serious relationship with a chicken in just a couple years, I really don't think you can talk much Tuff
"See ya later, Astrid~~" Aighhhh, why did that whole conversation sound so flirty??
Also, it was so badass of Heather to let the innocent act drop, but still reveal zero about anything - I honestly am clueless to what she's up to
Hiccup is so freaking oblivious, my god
Astrid's anger issues are taking some good space this episode
"This is gonna be awe-sooooome!" Only Tuff
Ep11- Random but kinda cute piece of info - Hookfang likes for his horns to be held to the ground, it apparently calms him
Tuff is such a damn masochist
"Has Astrid been eating dragon-nip again?" Again??
Okay, Astrid dressing up as Heather is a semi-solid plan, I'll take it
Peoples, you should listen to Fishlegs, he's never freaking wrong
Ah okay, they did that thing with Snotlout and Hookfang in the beggining so Astrid could use it now
"-we could be unstoppable! How does that sound?" "Uh, insane, demented, delusional, stupid?" Omg, Hiccup go easy on the old man, damn
They forgave Heather too easily, like c'mon guys - her parents were hostages and suddenly you're all besties?
Welp, I know we'll get to see more of Heather in the future, so I'll just wait for that before judging more
Ep12 - Gobber is the one training with Hiccup - one more tip for "Gobber being Hiccup's 2nd dad" jar
Aaand, Spitelout is back - help, i want him gone
Snolout beats Astrid? In axe throwing?? How????
"Why don't you sit down, Spitelout?" "Ohhhhhh~" pfft, nice Stoick
Also, Spitelout would definitely be a PTA Karen parent in today's society, you cannot convince me otherwise
Hicctooth is their ship name, isn't it? Is Snotlout behind every single ship name in the fandom?? I know Hiccup was the one who said it, but it was because of Snotlout's Snotfang
"What? He started it!.. when we were five.." So before that you guys got along? I wanna see some cute toddler cousins playing together
I'm sorry but Astrid doing flips on Stormfly's back is a lot cooler than Toothless flipping in the air by himself, she deserved that point
"Snotlout your dad looks reaaally mad right now~!" "What would you know? He always looks like that!" That's uh, really bad to know
Snotlout actually turned to the scoreboard when Hiccup told him to
Hiccup's been such a little gremlin this ep
What the heeeeck, the difference between Stoick and Spitelout! Stoick literally just said "No pressure" with a smile on his face, meanwhile, Spitelout freaking threatens his son over the goddamn game
I really really hate that man, and yeah, I understand why people say he's worse in RoB, his demeanor is a lot meaner and crueler here
Watching Lout and Hiccup interact before the race reminded me of their cute interactions in RttE - it's ridiculous how much their relationship changes
And Snotlout's mini-panic attack (can we call it that?) during the race when Hiccup passed him reminded me of RttE's "Not Lout" - if you know, you know
These two have been kissing consistently, apparently, ever since this show and only got together near the end of rtte? Whyy
Ep13- Those three - four, if you count Toothless - eating together feels like another possible image to add to my "Gobber is 2nd dad" jar
Poor Toothless actually looked pretty scared there.. With an iron tail, he does have good reason to fear lightning, honestly
Mildew..... Hi, really missed you..
#justice4toothless - the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself deserves better
Hiccup has been exuding "I'm surrounded by idiots" vibes this episode
After Toothless got captured, this episode's plot resumed to a copy of the end of httyd1 I think
Can't really think of more to say on this one except that I'm glad Tuff and Snotlout put Thor's statue in front of Mildew's house
I wonder, are we gonna focus on the other riders at some point? We kinda had an episode more focused on Snotlout, and Astrid has the 2nd spotlight in plenty of them, but it is all still mostly Hiccup-centered
I wanna see the twins actually doing something and just more Fishlegs generally, because that kid is sho gosh darn cute

So! Post con thoughts!!
First off, I will be making a con compilation video soon so look out for that! More pictures! Videos too! You’ll get to see me doing Emmet Karaoke and also the cosplay fashion show :) I’ll rehash this post in the video as well
But okay!
First off, I want to say I’ve had more fun than i can ever remember having this weekend. The reception to my cosplay and everything I did this weekend was... Astounding. I expected a handful of people to enjoy my cosplay and know who i was. Maybe more to know “hey that pokemon black and white train guy!” (Actual comment i heard)
But no. I got 100+ people commenting and asking for pictures and freaking out about my cosplay (and posters). In the registration line, several people told me they loved me. Today, one person said “HEY! My friend Emmet! Wait nevermind that’s weird you don’t know me.” (that cracked me up) Several people had me pose with plushies or props they had! People freaked OUT when they saw me, and today I got MULTIPLE PEOPLE saying they were searching for me all day after hearing about me yesterday. When I did find Ingos, and we did the pose, so many people wanted pictures. It was awesome!! There’s got to be SO MANY pics floating around out there!
The first Ingo I found was a fan of my fanfics. That was an INSANE feeling, meeting someone who was a fan of me. I also met an author that I’ve been enjoying the works of, which was almost equally as wild! Fun fun time, there (we’ll both be going to another con at the same time, totally gonna meet up there.)
The flyers were such a hit. People cracked UP when I handed them to them. One person SHOUTED “NOOOOOO!” loudly in the artist alley. They were one of the artists. There were groups who crowded around and read it aloud. The line “we are different people” SENT THEM. Three people said they’d frame it. The mask was another thing that people loved! They thought it was wonderful! My con badge also said I AM EMMET and so did the LED badge I pinned to my lanyard. Those who noticed the triplicate thought it was hilarious. Glad it wasn’t overkill like I’d thought!
Now, I will say I was a bit bummed there was not one single HINT of submas merch ANYWHERE in artist alley. OF COURSE this isn’t the artists’ faults, duh, I just wish I would’ve seen some! I had submas fans asking me if I’d found anything, and nothing. Had to tell several folks the pins and keychains I had were all bought beforehand!
One artist in the artist alley asked me to keep a lookout for Ingo merch for their little sister, who apparently loves Ingo to pieces. I found nothing, but gave the artist a flyer to pass along, and they took a pic of me holding it :) They said I’d make her day, which was such a good feeling.
Even after the con, folks on discords (that I wasn’t in at the time!) were talking about the “Emmet cosplayer with the missing posters.” Someone else on tumblr complimented the Emmet cosplayer while we were chatting, all the while unaware that I was the person who was in that cosplay!
That’s the core of it, really. While cosplaying and having people interact with me gives me free serotonin, it’s because I fuckin love making people smile. The amount of days I apparently made is.... a lot!! I did that! I made people smile! People posted pictures on twitter yelling over getting to meet me! I just... brought joy to people. And that is an immensely good feeling.
Aside from all that, I had a photoshoot in the Boston subway system (aka the T). I was quite lucky the con was in a location with its own stop! My wonderful photographer was happy to go down there for a shoot. It was even on the Green Line, just like the one Ingo runs. So me pretending to put up missing posters there will be extra evocative. :) I’ll post those pics, and the ones from the photo room at the con, as soon as I get them! :D
I learned a few things that I’m going to incorporate into my writing as well! Like how even if you are a different color, even if you are LABELED IN 3 PLACES! People will still get you and your twin confused. And how even if you’ve been doing the same pose all day, sometimes you will almost run into the person you’re standing next to in an attempt to get to the right position. And sometimes you’ll forget for a moment and face the person you’re SUPPOSED to be posing back-to-back to like a dummy.
Fun way to do fic research, I guess! Live as the character(s) for a few days! :D
So now that this con is over.... Now what?? What happens next? Well, aside from having to go back to work (boo), I have a lot of plans. There are some locations in the area where I eventually want to have some photoshoots. I’ll be going to Vancouver and might be bringing my cosplay along, and I definitely want to go to NYC soon. For cons, Connecticon is coming up, and Fan Expo Boston is as well! Along with some smaller Massachusetts cons and ones in the surrounding areas that I might hit up :) Unless my life takes a verrry sudden detour or my outfit gets completely ruined, I will be cosplaying Emmet at all these events.
But until then...
I’m planning on taking a few of each version of the posters and sticking them in the Boston subway and seeing what happens. It’s obviously just a silly thing, so no one will be bothered sfjslfghsfhgj I wanna see if anyone takes the tear tabs. If you’re in Boston and find one, you get a free doodle from me.
Until my next con this summer! If anyone’s going to Connecticon, let me know! I can’t wait to go do this all over again :)
