Shit that sent soooooo hard in Shadow and Bone and had me dying:

(n.b. major spoilers)

- yoooooo every single line and facial expression done by Kit Young like he was the perfect Jesper omg I was cackling every time he had a scene not to mention just how well his shooting scenes were choreographed and filmed like yesssss

- dawg when the Darkling fricking pulled up Alina’s sleeve???? THAT WAS THEE SCENE!!! it was a red flag but also HOT asf and that in itself is the appeal of the Darkling summarized

- “shut up Jesper”

- THE CROWS STEALING THE DARKLING’S CARRIAGE MANNNNN HAHAHHAHAHAHA I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED THAT

- every single line and facial expression done by THEE Ben... I think in terms of casting, lines, and general acting, the show ACED Jesper and the Darkling like Kit and Ben did major justice to those roles holy shit I was so pleased

- “Orphans from Keramzin reunited. Adorable.”

- imma admit I didn’t think the show would execute Alina being from a marginalized group so well into the story at first cus I thought it’d be cliché but they really pulled that off methinks

- idk about film stuff but the lighting and filters and shit they used in Mal and Alina’s *soulmate* scenes made them a wayyyyy more likeable couple for me cus I did not care for this ship in the LEAST in the books, but the show had me feeling feelings and shit for them

- “Answer the question.”

- listen I was *this* close to ending my life at that table kiss scene like you know the one like omg I never felt this much petty jealousy and rage at an actress for some time now but omg he is THEE kisser and I’m gonna cry rn imma end my shit just thinking about this

- “please, call me Aleksander” I WAS LIKE YOOO SO WE’RE DOING THIS??? NOW????

- the way they brought the grisha powers to life and the grisha fight scenes??? I WAS LIVING FOR IT like they had me like a 10-year old tryna airbend again with the hand symbols and shit like-

- “Yes, David?”

- they had Ben in a regal black carriage ornate black kefta black steeds of darkness had my boy looking like Hades himself rising from within the depths of the earth omg I’m gonna cry he never stopped being attractive not once in his whole life and it makes me wanna drink rat poison how hot he is

- “Jes? 🤨”

- “Fine. Make me your villain.”

- I wanna shout out again how exceptional Ben Barnes was in this role, from his line delivery to his expressions and just how CONVINCING he is in the Darkling’s evil plan for world domination, I swear I’m speechless

- “Shame. I’ll have to give that speech again.”

- Listen I have no shame, I sided with the Darkling in the books and I’ll side with him again!!! (ik he’s basically a symbol of male oppression, white colonization and a groomer but still let me be)

- “IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN THAT!!!!”

- milo ex machina

- “Follow.”

AAAAAAAAHHHHH I ENJOYED IT MORE THAN I EXPECTED I WOULD BY TENFOLD AHHHHHHHHHH

Ok so I’ve seen a Lot of people complaining about the new Wonder Woman movie and that’s cool, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion and all, but as someone who saw a movie with flaws, for sure, but in the end, a well-meaning, enjoyable film that actually thematically made a lot of sense and was done decently.

With that said, I’m gonna talk a bit about some of the things I liked in this movie, and I might even do this with other DC movies tbh. spoilers, also:

Okay: first scene?

Amazonian American Gladiator. Was it a bit long? Yeah. TBH i didn’t feel like it ‘fit’ with the rest of the film, I appreciated what it was trying to do, but I’m not wild about it. I think it might have been stronger if Diana had been shown actively trying to cheat in order to get ahead, instead of, what i felt looked more like a misunderstanding and seizing of an opportunity at first, but again, that’s not the end of the world and it decently set up the main theme of the entire story: you have to work for your wishes, you can’t just make them without consequences. The easy road is often times a lie, we can only live with the truth.

That’s a good theme. Lots of superhero movies seem bent on just ‘beat em up’ movies with not much in actual thematic ties that the main character has to actually overcome. It also fits well with the character of Wonder Woman herself, who is based around the truth. That’s why it’s so cool that she has to learn to live with it for herself, it’s a struggle for her. We were shown character development from Diana that wasn’t exactly recycled from the first film: it’s not learning that ‘man’s world is twisted’, it’s learning something about herself, and that her own selfish wish was just that: selfish.

and it did this without making her look awful and wrong. We understood it.

The movie also accomplished this well by tying every single villain into the main theme. its not exactly ‘be careful what you wish for’, but honestly having that direct contrast with Barbara was fantastic because again, you understood her. Max Lord? We understood him. He didn’t turn into a cackling maniacal lunatic who decides to monologue about his own evilness, like Ares from the last film, and the movie didn’t give us a huge ‘fight’ climax between him an Diana because that’s not the point: it’s a moral victory, not a physical one, because Diana stands to gain too if he gets what he wants: it’s not about being on opposite sides, it’s about Diana learning to overcome her own selfishness in this situation to learn to embrace the truth, and get everyone else to do it too. The movie gives us three very Human people who do very human, very selfish things that we Get! And the difference is that Diana realizes that we can’t just look at what benefits us. We can’t sacrifice who we are for what we want. Max almost lost his son for his own material gain, Barbara lost her humanity for strength and the ability to not get kicked around anymore. They aren’t wrong for wanting these things, but the cost is Them. I’m gonna talk more about the villains later but rn I just want to point out that the central idea of showing your hero as being selfish and getting over it was done more competently in 1 Wonder Woman sequel than in all 3 Iron Man movies.

IMO, of course.

Main point: the theme of Wonder Woman is that we are human, and in humanity we want things that benefit ourselves, sometimes to the point that we lie to ourselves about what it’s costing us and who we are. We need to look at the greater good, consider who and what else we’re affecting, stay true to ourselves and, like Wonder Woman has always stood for: be honest and kind.

#Wonder Woman #Wonder Woman 1984 #Diana Prince #DC #these are my own personal takes so if you disagree #thats cool #i will actually talk about pacing in the future too because yeah this movie has a few problems But

TALKING TO EXPLOSION BOY (BNHA)

Cat: Lil floof and if you squint, angst

Agender! Reader was nervous about their internship with Thirteen already, but throw in the sparky porcupine? Anxiety maxed out. But surprisingly, he just isn’t as explosive as usual. (Reader has a fire related quirk)

Y/N remembered when they first decided to try out for cross country.

It was the summer before 8th grade when they vowed to make themself into a person they could like. Their sister had given them a ride to the school, they’d retied their sneakers about fifteen times on the way, and they’d practically had a death grip on that poor plastic water bottle.

They’d been so nervous that they refused to get out of the car. They remembered knowing absolutely nobody on the team, feeling so socially inept because they hadn't talked to anybody all summer. It wasn't until their sister reassured them that they finally found themself unlocking the door.

That's what they thought internships were gonna be like.

But rather than the hellish experience their middle school self endured, it was quite different.

They chose to intern with Thirteen to learn how to use their quirk in rescue scenarios. Thirteen, who they’d recently learned went by xe/xyr pronouns, was a pretty nice person, who took their wall of awkwardness and formality into consideration.

Y/N was finally letting the wall drip down a bit, allowing Thirteen to see their real personality. And the acceptance was nice.

That's why they didn't really mind it when Thirteen said xe needed to drop by Best Jeanist's agency. Something to do with the author and plot lines.

So they followed Thirteen through the building, politely smiling at the passersby they happened to make eye contact with. The two stopped at a door in the building, pushing it open, and just like that feeling of finding someone you know in your home town, Y/N felt like they’d been smacked with frying pan.

Bakugo and Y/N made eye contact from both sides of the room, a silence as his hair sprung back to its normal state.

Oof.

If the rest of the Bakusqud were here, Y/N probably would've been able to sneak in a laugh under Mina, Sero, and Kaminari’s cackling, but alas that was not the case. And despite the self destructive ramblings of Y/N’s rather common mental breakdowns, they valued their life.

Best Jeanist sighed as though this weren't the first time this occurred, flicking his comb into his pocket. "Thirteen." He said in greeting. "What brings you here?"

"I just need to do some touch ups on the paperwork for the collab takedown we did last week. Turns out the villains quirk wasn't energy mutation." Xe replied, while Y/N suddenly begun to wish they had Hagakure's quirk instead as Bakugo’s eyes burned into their skull.

"Is that your intern?"

Uh oh.

"Yep," Thirteen said, pushing Y/N forward much to their dismay. "They’ve got quite the quirk."

Best Jeanist hummed in response, having been there in the stadium. He remembered sending them an invite to intern with him after the festival, but he supposed they were searching for something specific.

"You two are in the same class right?" Best Jeanist asked. Y/N stiffened as he acknowledged Bakugo's presence. Without waiting for a response, he carried on, "You two stay here. Thirteen, the reports in my office."

And despite every cell in their body yelling at the two to stay, the door closed behind the two leaving both Bakugo and Y/N in immediate discomfort.

Silence.

Y/N looked around the room at anything and everything except for Bakugo. They spotted a chair, the only other one in the room placed right across from the blonde porcupine.

With an internal groan, they shuffled over to the chair, sitting uncomfortably still as they pulled out their phone. They stared at the screen, pretending to be doing something while attempting to negotiate a ceasefire with the whatever deity above was listening.

Whatever I did to deserve this, I am so sorry. It'll never happen again, bro, just get me tf outta here rn before my soul skrrt skrrts from my body-

Oh no, now their nose was itchy. The temptation was there, but the risk of drawing attention was even greater. Were they gonna sneeze? Were there tissues in here? Jeez did hearts always beat so loudly? And what is up with the whole breathing thing? It sounds like there's gonna be a whole goddamn tornado-

"Hey. Depressed Flambé."

Y/N hesitantly looked up from their screen, wondering if they placed their funeral plans in an obvious enough location. Top left drawer of their dresser, beneath their will. Dang they forgot to write if they wanted red camellias or white camellias. Surely class 1-A would know they were a red camellias type of lad. And they had to change the song from "Thriller" to "E-Girls Are Ruining My Life", ya know, get with the times-

"I know you're avoiding me. Your damn phone isn't even on." Bakugo's brash voice said, and they suddenly felt like dropping an anvil on their head.

Y/N gave a smile that may as well have said, "I've been caught" and tucked the phone into their pockets where their hands could fidget out of view.

Silence.

Depressed Flambé, Y/N pondered.

They hadn't thought they had a nickname, they figured since they had barely interacted with him all year that they were in the clear.

Guess not.

Their thoughts and the room stayed radio silent for a bit before they hesitantly spoke up, "Trying out a new hair style?"

"Mention it to the rest of 1-A and I’ll kill you!" He barked defensively, huffing when he saw them flinch almost unnoticeably. "He won't let me patrol with him until I 'reform my appearance' or some bullshit like that."

Y/N nodded, though they didn't really see much difference. He was intimidating either way, one just made him look a little more idiotic. "Some bullshit sounds about right." Y/N replied, trying to let themself relax.

Bakugo seemed content with their response, and once again the two fell into silence. And just like a hand reaching out, they felt their voice wanting to come out, to keep talking, but maybe he didn't want to. Maybe it'd be better to take the chance and have no regrets later? But what if he just told them to shut up? They probably would never get over that. It was probably best if they-

"How's your internship?" Bakugo asked, clearly uncomfortable with asking the question. He wasn't even making eye contact which was supposed to be Y/N’s thing.

By the author's grace, was this the power of those behind the divine fourth wall?

"It's good!" Y/N said, a little too quickly for their liking.

Stupid social anxiety.

"Um, Thirteen's trying to teach me how to use my quirk in rescues." They added slowing their words, before their voice lowered into a murmur. "I just kind of wish I knew that they don't really teach fighting techniques."

"Well why don't you teach yourself?" He asked.

Why do you have such good hearing, they thought. "I mean I tried a while ago, but I wouldn’t know where to start."

"Is the phone you were using to avoid me just for show or can you actually use it? Just look some up or walk yourself to a library."

OML THIS IS A HISTORICAL MOMENT HE GOT THROUGH A SENTENCE WITHOUT CURSING OR INSULTING ANYBODY IM SO PROUD OF YOU, BRO, WE NEED TO CELEBRATE THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION- "I guess that make sense." Y/N replied, sheepish but surprised.

They really thought it would be like that first day at cross country. Like everyone would be looking at them, judging them, ostracizing them. But it was all their head, just as it was then, just as it was now.

There was a gap of (you guessed it) silence, but this time it was less awkward, more...comfortable.

"It's too bad, Best Jeanist, isn't what you thought he would be." Y/N said.

He hummed in response.

"It seems more like he's trying to change you than train you." They thought aloud.

"It's annoying. I wish he'd finish this damn haircut, so I can skip to the fun part, and kick somebody’s ass."

Y/N snorted audibly. "If it's about getting it to stay, I think I can help."

Bakugo raised an eyebrow, which before may have had them thinking they were on his kill list, but now not so much. "You do hair?"

"I mean, I take care of mine almost every morning, and I'm pretty good with gel at this point so why not?" They shrugged.

"Hurry up then, I don't want to have to do this for any longer than I have to."

"Your hair is surprisingly soft."

"Shut up, Flambé!"

"Seriously, what conditioner do you use?"

"I WILL BLOW YOU UP RIGHT NOW!"

•••

"Thanks for stopping by Thirteen, it's been nice." Best Jeanist said, as the two stepped out of his office.

Thirteen replied. "No problem. See you around."

The two turned to the other duo and though neither visibly shown it, the surprise remained present.

"Did you do his hair?" Thirteen asked in mild confusion.

Best Jeanist was past the point of mere confusion, he was borderline baffled. "You fixed it?!"

Y/N tucked away a comb granted by the author, "Magic."

"Are we gonna patrol now or what?" Bakugo asked, a grin tugging at his lips.

Even though it looked borderline evil, Y/N was still pretty proud they made him smile. Even if he looked like he was about commit a homicide.

A/N Feel free to hit me up via anything if you have any requests. Whether it’s headcanons, scenarios, or different pronouns lemme know! I really like writing these and wanna make everybody feel ✨comfy✨💕

This is going to be a longwinded, confusing, and labrynthine essay so bear with me. A quick warning that this post will have:

Fandom critique

U! Side and S! Side mentions (for all the sides)

Whining

Writing critique

Writer critique

Character critique

I was thinking recently (a dangerous pastime, I'm aware) that I'm actually not bothered by u! Dark sides (specifically Remus and Deceit), I'm bothered by shallow u! Remus and Deceit. When treated as real, serious villains with motives, good and bad intentions, and places on the spectrum of moral grays that are on the darker end, I enjoy reading it! I enjoy a good villain- same for Virgil, Roman, Logan, and Patton. What irks me about any u! Side is them just being evil for no reason, with no motive, no internal direction. Very few actually evil people are just evil because they drink evil sauce and cackle for fun.

This is also an issue in media in general, that being that morality is so often seen as a coin with no edge, a black and white scenario where you're good or evil, us or them, this or that. A view that annoys me to no end, for so many extensive reasons.

It feels like such a betrayal of a character or series to me, to simplify any character to the degree that they so often are. It seems so.... Unrealistic. So often when reading fanfic or posts or hc lists I'm bored by them!!! To a almost laughable degree!!! So often characters are turned into two-dimensional, shallow, annoying, boring mockeries that just don't excite me.

The thing that I love so much about Sanders Sides specifically is it's dedication to the moral gray zone! I love watching, reading, and writing about how Anxiety can be good, how Morality can be bad, how dark doesn't mean evil, how light doesn't mean good. It's exhilarating. But the dedication to realism I attempt is so often lost in turning the characters into caricaturial, tropy, moronic versions of themselves.

In mainstream fanon, all the characters seem flat, with Virgil and Patton woobified to the point of my teeth falling out from sugar poisoning, my endlessly deep sighs of dissapointment when I see that Deceit has been turned into another cookie cutter manipulator, Logan and Roman turned into a boring nerd and prep stereotype or a lineless Disney prince with the same face as every other prince and an emotionless evil robot, where Remus is either an idiot or just flat out a murder and manipulator too. It lacks depth, the part of writing I valid the most, the part that keeps me reading.

This is why I've gravitated to the part of the fandom that explores u! Light sides. It's entertaining to see characters given depth, to have different interpretations of the sides. It's fun, it makes me think! It's exciting and I like reading and participating! And seeing this part of the fandom I find so enticing be seen as wrong and shameful is frankly dissapointing (But that's not what we're talking about rn so I'll stop with that).

I am just... So done with and tired of tropy, two-dimensional, cliché, annoying, boring, overdone characters. Be original. Get out there, do something new, and interesting, and deep. Tag me in it! Let me see something that excites me! Let me enjoy this fandom for what it could be if we allow a marketplace of ideas where we don't have a mainstream fanon that's boring. Let's not have a mainstream at all! Differing interpretations and tastes and portrayals are cool and fun and should be the norm.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Oh! And,

TL; DR: 3d sides would be cool stop making boring villains who are just evil that's so boring

#fandom crit #u side mention #u!sides ment #discourse #salt #tagging badly because i don't want people to scroll past lmao

Hey I love your Witcher metas/fic and I just wanted to say I've been reading some comments about the stuff they've changed on the show and one of them is that they've made Cahir too bad/unredemable which made me think how the people who haven't read the books will view Ciri since she becomes a relaly dark character and who accoring to the author was meant to be evil and monster because almost veryone made her out to be one.(pt 1)

Also having recently finished the books the hansa are definitely the highlit to me in the later books don’t get me wrong Sapkowski is a great author but I just couldn’t find myself to care for Ciri’s SL post Time of Contempt her becomign dark had a lot of potential but the whole Rats and after that verged on torture pron almost especially since she was only 13-14 Yennfier also desrved better than being a frozen statue and then tortured until she’s aved but again that’s my opinion.

Hello! Eeeeep, thank you for reading my metas!

You bring up so many interesting topics! Do you mind if I blabber a bit about… well, all of them? :P

I’ll get to Cahir last, because I have more to say about him.

So this is purely a taste thing, but I hella loved Dark!Ciri. She wasn’t whitewashed to become likable, which makes her one of my favorite main characters ever (most main characters I find rather bland when compared to side characters, because the writers want to ensure you like them and thereby sanitize them of interesting qualities). Honestly, my three favorite characters are Yennefer, Ciri, and Cahir.

I am definitely expecting the fandom to argue that Ciri is either Still Good 100% and doesn’t need no redemption, or a Terrible Role Model for Young Girls and think of the children! The point of Ciri is that she’s not a role model but that doesn’t make her someone you can’t admire. She’s not an object for people in her world to view as a savior, and in that way I found the books very meta. That said, I also get why people did not like how Dark!Ciri is handled, and that’s completely valid too. I think Mistle in particular was… yeah.

I would agree about torture p*rn specifically when it comes to Bonhart’s behavior. (I think Ciri’s age comes across as rather contradictory, but I’m pretty sure she was 14-15-16ish in the later books?) But I had to set the book down during The Tower of Swallows because of Bonhart’s treatment of Ciri. I’ve thought about writing a meta on what Bonhart represents in the books (or aims to represent, because I don’t think it’s entirely successful). Bonhart’s treatment of Ciri in ToS can be justified as not gratuitous depending on what’s done with him in Lady of the Lake, and imo I go back and forth debating whether it was justified or gratuitous. I do think Bonhart turned into a stereotypical cackling villain by the end and his attempted assault of Yennefer was unnecessary and was a sharp change in his characterization. (Sapkowski, in general, doesn’t write great villains–mostly because the main enemies the characters have to overcome are themselves.) That said, Ciri’s defeat of him towards the end was absolutely narratively perfect, and hence I waffle.

For Yennefer… I too wanted more of her, so I am with you there. Yet, I also think it was perfect for her to be turned into a jade statue temporarily, because Yennefer is a control freak. For Yennefer to utterly lose control of everything and wind up a prisoner at various points was a good way to narratively face her flaws and grow. But I would have liked more of her struggles in those situations, especially in Baptism of Fire and ToS.

Now, Cahir.

I disagree strongly with the sentiment that the show made him irredeemably evil. That said, I also think the show’s writing is very, very flawed–not just of Cahir, but of everyone. Many of the writers are apparently Marvel writers which… shows. And not in a good way.

A lot of that is probably my perspective from how I consumed the story, as well. I watched the show before I read the books, and I remember when Cahir appeared again in episode 5 of The Witcher. The moment I saw who they had cast and his storyline there, I told the friend I was watching it with that he was clearly a conflicted Byronic hero archetype and would likely have an arc along the lines of Loki in the MCU and Kylo Ren in Star Wars. Look, it’s not a coincidence they cast attractive actors with unusual facial structures to play these roles, nor is it a coincidence that people keep debating if they seem redeemable or if they’re fully committed to the dark side.

(NB: I think it’s more than a little racist that all the actors for these type of Byronic characters are white, but I also don’t like the “they’re actually poor sad white boys we shouldn’t feel sympathy for” argument. These characters are written to be sympathetic and complex, and it’s not the actors’ faults (for Cahir, Eamon Farron is incredibly talented); just… cast PoC in these types of roles for the love of God.)

Is Cahir darker compared to what he was in the books? In some ways, yes. Did the message of what his character’s arc is meant to be translate to the audience of only show watchers? I honestly think it did, because it did to me as I watched it. I messaged the friend who got me into The Witcher “he’s a conflicted wounded bad boy” and asked if he would have a redemption, likely through a love relationship (Thor and Loki’s relationship is love, but brotherly; Kylo and Rey’s is romantic). I did not know anything about the books’ arc for Cahir then, but this is exactly what does happen.

❝ hey that’s JACQUELINE “JACK” MORAN from the isle, they’re the YOUNGEST child of MADAM MIM. they’re TWENTY TWO years old and always seem to remind me of DEVIOUS CACKLING AT A PARTY, BRIGHT RED LOLLIPOP, WHISPERING OF SPELLS UNDER THEIR BREATH. you’ll notice that they’re CONNIVING but also pretty AFFABLE too. i heard a rumor that their name WASN’T on the isle list.

hi i’m ELLE and i’m late to the party buT WHAT’S NEW jjksndjf i meant to post this intro right after i applied but i was playing sims and didnt realize that 10 hrs has passed so, that’s that. a lil disclaimer: it’s been a while since ive joined a group and intros aren’t my Specialty BUT IM TRYING i hope that picture of the vine kid doesnt scare u away from reading abt my daughter, the Mess that is Jack and if ure still here,,,, bless u

jus a smol refresher that mad madam mim is the villain from the movie ‘the sword in the stone’ (1963) about young arthur being taught by the great wizard merlin to reach his true potential. mim is allegedly suppose to rival merlin’s powers. my hc for madam mim is she’s some sort of a forgotten wizard and it annoys her to her core. she used to be very indifferent to how people see her as the opposite as she regards herself. she used to call herself ‘the magnificent marvelous madam mim’ but to the rest of the world she’s just,,,, mad madam mim skdnfkdsf she is obsessed with merlin and how he had outsmarted her. she hates being compared to him.

YEP so that’s a lil insight abt jack’s mom!

i feel like i’ll keep this whole intro short bc 1) jack is still on her early development stage and 2) my brain is fried

OK SO the whole basis of her character is she’s clever. she’s smart, one might dare say intelligent, but she uses her wit and capabilities for the worst things.

elaborate pranks that no one needed to do? she’s to blame. plus, u kno how people used to say “inventors are lazy people"... maybe that’s her trope . she also could care less abt schooling lmfaoskjdnfd but in auradon, she’s sort of,,,, trying a lil. bc they’re actually teaching REal SCIENCE u kno? and not just, selfies 101kjndg her fave subjects back in the isle was evil schemes and, the infamous, weird science taught by yen sid

that said, jack is slightly obsessed with the notion of magic. her mother used to use magic all the time to make everything easier. jack and her sibling has heard stories of their mother making the worst out of everything she encounters when she used to have her powers. madam mim wasn’t much for world domination or grand schemes. she just likes things to be in chaos and hopes for the worst and, in a way, jack caught on to that desire.

growing up, jack has always felt unwanted. even residing in an island with most villains not wanting children to care for in the first place, jack was unwanted even before she was conceived. having one child was a nuisance, and then having her? jack essentially grew up in the streets, like most villain kids did. her older sibling was regarded to most of the time by their mom, but jack is just..... there. but it’s fine. she’s fine. who needs love and attention anyways??? no one that’s who

jack is very much in denial of feelings and emotions like ? who are they she doesn’t knew them

jack also has little to no regard for her looks, except for a few sultry looks here and there but generally anything goes as long as she’s not cold. BUT her blonde her has bothered her to her core. she got green eyes from her mom, but her blonde hair from her father. so she dyes her hair lilac like her mom’s for idk, maybe in some way or form, to feel accepted by her? to reiterate: idk djsnfs

she’s a bit of a, uh, como se dice..... tramp. not to derogate but no other word has come to mind?? the word works for her in in both ways?? like tramp as in, tramps around with heavy steps and whatnot bc she CAN be loud ( in much simpler terms: annoying ) and tramp as in having many casual sexual relationships so like kjnddjf

onto her social skills! she can make friends pretty well??? which is weird bc anyone knows she’s gonna spread your dirt like wildfire jdknfg she’ll deny it but.......you know she did it. she’s an unapologetically a bad friendfdbvdfgs

wanted connections

flings/fwbs - wow are we surprised dkjng ok but this connection is open to more than one bc this is anything but serious. could be a “used to hit that” type of situation, or a currently and casually hooking up type of thing, or her first fling fwb? so many options tbh

childhood friend - arriving in auradon, could have probably fucked up their relationship, in one way or another. but anyone who can tolerate and be dragged by jack into her shenanigans when she was younger and vice versa, or an older sibling-y type of person she looks up to back in the isle, or alternatively a younger person who looks up to her (but whykdnf) and other stuff? yes? the good juice

hateship - someone she genuinely hates but the sexual tension is palpable! could be a vk or an ak but i’d love it to be some history of their dislike for each other and would like to build up on this firsT? idk? hmu if ur muse could do a little hateship in their lives jack is here to be all up in their face

gang (aka friends sdfs) - she’s not loyal by any means, but even this dumb chick knows she has to have a crew bc no man is an island! esp with her name not being on the list, she feels that she needs a group of people that she can stick to avoid .... complications dkjfng

unlikely friends - maybe someone who’s really shy bc jack is a loud and unabashedly bold (?) so kdjns!! or someone with very different interests as jack !!! this could be really cute

ex - just to make it angsty, maybe this connection could be the ONLY ex jack ever had jksndf we could plot this and whatnot bc obviously jack has commitment issues! kjdfn

others that i cant think of rn!! hit this post with a like and i’ll come to you to plot! <3 im v v excited to plot and write with you all !!

#wckdintro #dfn it didnt show up in the tag and i (tried) to proofread bc its a mess so here's the new one!#sdfsdfs

Hi! I’ve been tagged by @nerdygingerandproud to answer all these questions so here goes!

1) Time Right Now: 14:01

2) Nicknames: Boo, Robs, eggplant avenger, Robsy, Bobsy, any combination of the last two (these are from my twin),

5) Height: 5′2...

6) Birthday: 12th February

7) Favorite Solo Artists: uhhhh....I don’t know to be honest. Demi Lovato I guess? Maddy Prior? Uhh..Lindsey Stirling. Honestly I don’t listen to that many solo artists, I mostly listen to musical soundtracks so. :P

8) Favorite Bands/groups: Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Dixie Chicks, Rainbow Twins.

9) Song Stuck In My Head: I don’t have a song stuck in my head....okay the moment that I typed that, I got ‘Penny’s song’ from Dr Horrible’s singalong blog in my head, so I guess that works.

10) Last Show Watched: Friends

11) When Did I Create My Blog: Honestly, I’m not sure. Probably around 2012? not sure though.

12) What Do I Post: I mean. Am I meant to have specific stuff I post? I mostly post les mis, and headcanons etc. I also reblog tons of stuff from various fandoms and also political stuff because the world annoys me. And cats. And other cute animals. Basically I just reblog anything, there’s no specific thing. But probably mostly les mis?

13) Last Thing I Googled: “Gulliver country animal crossing new leaf”

14) Do You Have Other Blogs: I used to? And technically they are stlll in existence I just don’t use them much? My original tumblr was @nothingbecameeverybodysfool which I haven’t used in probably years now, and I used to have a les mis sideblog but I deleted it because I was reblogging everything to both blogs because I love les mis. I also run a blog called @validationfromfiction but it’s not very active because no one really submits anything and I’m not good at coming up with things to post. I also have a Kim Possible rp account that I haven’t used for ages because all my rp’s ended and I couldn’t find anyone new to rp with. Similarly, I have a Jarra Tell Morrath rp blog (from the Earth Girl Trilogy by Janet Edwards) that again, had no interaction so I stopped using it much.

15) Do You Get Asks: sometimes? Usually from people I sort of consider friends now ;) Occasionally from others. Not that often though.

16) Why Did You Choose Your URL: It originally had a URL related to my depression/anxiety but I stopped using it for that and it became my main, nerdy fandom blog, so I tried to rename it, couldn’t think of anything but hated what I’d previously been called so just went with evil villain laughter because it’s fun to cackle.

17) Following: 1917 wow that’s a lot

18) Followers: 481

19) Favorite Colors: Purple! also red.

20) Lucky Number: 3

21) Habits: Fidgeting. I fidget ALL the time. I worry that it looks like I’m not paying attention, I just need to be doing stuff at the same time sometimes. Like fidgeting or moving. I also tend to tear off the tops of my nails sometimes? which isn’t great but.

22) Instruments: I play the trombone and I’m trying to learn guitar and ukulele

23) What Am I Wearing: black tracksuit bottoms, batman top, red hoodie from being in a musical at my uni (Thoroughly Modern Millie)

24) How Many Blankets I Sleep With: Quite a few in the winter because I get cold and also the house I’m in rn is very cold and we don’t turn heating on often because none of us have any money. In the summer, very few blankets because it’s far too hot.

25) Dream Job: Musical theatre actor. Or singer, or author. But musical theatre would be my main dream.

26) Dream Trip: Probably Paris? I have wanted to go to the Paris Opera House since I was nine because of an obsession with The Phantom of the Opera, so.

27) Favorite Food: potatoes. In any form. Baked, mashed, fried, boiled, roasted, I just love potatoes.

28) Where do you live?: Aberystwyth!

29) Favourite Song Right Now: Not sure. Probably something from the steven universe soundtrack

30) Other social medias: I use facebook for family/uni musical theatre society rehearsal information si on there. I have a twitter but very rarely use it? it’s robynnotbatman. I also have an instagram which is wardentabris_

I tag: @thatgirlclutchinganotebook @decayingliberty @probably-pride-related @dweebspace

Don’t feel like you have to do it though :) Thanks!

#about me #tag game things #thank you for tagging me!#sorry i took so long to do it!
