till the end of the moon random musings
needed to get it all out of my system after speed bingewatching like 26 episodes over the weekend so here goes the word vomit
carnival float scene
i keep going back to rewatch that carnival float scene when ye xiwu and tantaijin are acting out the skit of the killing of the devil god ... the music is so fitting (it’s probably my fav song in the entire ost) and the whole thing feels like foreshadowing? it’s a near-perfect summary of the entire story in one scene. when she takes his mask off but her mask stays on it’s like she sees and knows everything about him but he doesn’t know her at all. she knows all his intentions and what he will become. tantaijin is so sincere in his feelings at that moment but she’s still hiding her feelings and intentions behind her mask. same thing with the wedding ceremony and the veil - she’s still hidden, but he’s sincere. and he can’t see her so he doesn’t know.
wedding scene
also, like, wow. the ep 26(?) wedding scene was, as someone on tumblr put it, like ‘watching a car crash in slow motion’ even the date was wrong (ominous). the whole time i was shaking my head to myself while watching tantaijin look the happiest he’s ever been (like even though he wants her in a twisted way, u still gotta feel bad for him somehow, he was really so happy and put in effort to embroider the veil, etc.) the knives were all out here, i knew it was coming and it’s going to get worse once we get to the aftermath right. (i last stopped at the wedding scene right before she drives the nails into him.)
mingye/clam arc
is it just me or am i seeing so many parallels between this arc and the real lives of the protagonists? mingye and sangjiu played by the main couple. xiaolin dies. sangjiu turns evil and goes back for revenge which is almost like what li susu is doing to get back at the devil god before he turns evil. mingye and sangjiu end in tragedy, which is the same outcome for our main couple in the first half. tianhuan being a scheming evil person in general like bingchang. also the fact that xiaolin and li susu/ye wuxi were really martial siblings in li susu’s life, just like they were clam siblings in the mingye arc.
one thing i still don’t understand yet: why did ye xiwu keep wanting to go help xiaolin escape the prison? was it just because she cared for him more after being siblings in the mingye arc? or because her was her martial brother in her first life? or was it also something else? i feel like i missed a bunch of motivations here lol
xiaolin and tantaijin
so many things to unpack for xiaolin and tantaijin’s r/ship - right from their childhood to adulthood. you could see them as brothers in a way, like what xiaolin said in his letter. idk what they really feel about each other either - seems like xiaolin’s a little regretful, judging from his last letter. also taking into account parallels with the mingye/clam arc where they’re not even on the same side (clam family vs mingye/gods), and in the end xiaolin’s alter-ego is also dead, but not directly by tantaijin’s/mingye’s hand. unless xiaolin gets a second chance later on in the story, the two of them were never going to officially reconcile/fight together. gonna have to see what others said about this because i don’t even know where to begin organizing my thoughts about them LOL
pian ran and ye qingyu
really glad for pian ran and ye qingyu - i had to skip through some of their scenes due to a lack of time but the gist i got was that they got the chance to be relatively transparent with each other esp about pian ran’s past, and pian ran even got her love thread back (yay!). also her decision to stay in the city, both to be with ye qingyu and also to serve tantaijin, was pretty rad. wishing nothing but the best for this couple.
ye bingchang
ye bingchang .... she’s not typed on personalitydatabase but if i had to give her a type i’d guess she’s an infj, albeit a severely misguided one. basing it on another character who’s closest to her in terms of goals and the way they handle people - jin guangyao from mdzs who’s generally agreed to be an enfj. bingchang has a goal/vision of what she needs to survive (Ni) and uses Fe (manipulation of people) to achieve that. with jin guangyao, similar need to protect themselves, value themselves above others, very, very good at manipulating people by saying the right words, have attempted murder, villain origin backstory of having been mistreated by others for being of a lower social status, etc.
also mbti with ye bingchang and tantaijin
i keep talking about mbti but i’m no mbti expert, just really love using it to understand people. if you compare bingchang with tantaijin you can see they both have kinda similar methods of doing things? - manipulating people towards some common goal through a careful plan. it’s just that ye bingchang’s is purely for personal gain while tantaijin wants personal gain but also accounts for the wider society as well.
ye bingchang (infj): main goal of protecting herself (Ni). executes a plan to manipulate people to make it fall into place (Fe). able to adapt her behaviour to the people around her (Fe, Se?). uses whatever means necessary.
tantaijin: main goal of controlling and reuniting the two kingdoms to create peace (Ni), reduce the same kind of suffering he felt in his personal life (Ni, Fi). executes a plan to outsmart his enemies and recruit people (Te). uses whatever means necessary but also has some internal moral code he follows (Fi).
based on what i vaguely recall about the way tantaijin and bingchang convince people, there’s also a difference. bingchang is very value-oriented (asks ye xiwu to have pity on her, to not compete with her for tantaijin, justifying her actions using the universal value of justice for those who suffer unjustly, she uses universal values like compassion and pity, love, etc. to convince people, it’s giving Fe).
tantaijin uses a lot of psychological manipulation too - knows how to talk people into having no choice but to follow him, knows how to use scare tactics without being actually mean (e.g. the tonic pill he gave pian ran to swallow, threatening to kill those ministers who didn’t want to come teach him just to scare them) his manipulation is a different brand from bingchang’s but just as effective.
but compared to bingchang, i feel tantaijin is a lot more practical in manipulating people. if i recall correctly he usually resorts to logic to convince people (or fear of death lmao). making people understand that they have no other way out of the situation and the only plausible way is his way. e.g. bringing ye xiwu back to him after she helped xiaolin escape. he doesn’t plead with her to come back because he’s lonely and loves her etc., that’s what a high Fe user might do. instead he uses action and rearranges the environment to suit his plan (Te) he makes her kill xiaolin, makes her hated by all so that the only logical way she can get out is to flee back to him. he’s in the depths of emotional turmoil by that point but he still resorts to hard force and objective control (Te) to keep ye xiwu by his side so he can relieve his emotional frustration and loneliness
might write another thing on a comparison between him and william james moriarty from moriarty the patriot (also an intj commanding a group of loyal people towards a vision) later on, just to sort out my tantaijin intj agenda when i remember
the main pairing
going back to our main pairing, what i’m getting out of this is that the two of them can never be together in this configuration, i.e. with him as the emperor/future-devil-god and she as his so-called assassin. they were never going to work out like this because there’s too much to lose and too much going on for them to work anything out properly. (also given that both of them don’t seem to be people who prioritize emotions very much in their decision-making).
luo yunxi’s portrayal of tantaijin is so good, he manages to get that crazed-obsessed-yet good-looking character archetype down pat. truly deserving of the main character title. i keep thinking of that tweet which goes “but he murdered people. so? and he looked good doing it” etc.
for now li susu/ye xiwu’s feelings are still very murky (maybe some others might read her as already having fallen for him but still being bound by duty and fear and anger and other things) but for me it’s still difficult to figure out what exactly she’s feeling. gonna go look at some analysis posts on tumblr to understand what i’m missing.
to go off on a tangent (because i like to think of plot stuff in relation to tropes in other things), it’s sort of like wei wuxian and lan wangji in wwx’s first life. war was going on, wwx had too much to lose and his head wasn’t in the right place. the two of them were never going to work out in that first life no matter how hard they tried. only after wwx’s resurrection did they (more on wwx’s part) have time to bond and sort out their thoughts and feelings properly in a time of relative peace and stability, when the stakes weren’t as high.
similarly, tantaijin and yewuxi need that second half of the story, when stuff isn’t as high-stakes (no war going on) to sort everything out between them.
extra: characters who won my heart
pian ran - temperamental fox girl who just needs a break, still does her duties well, treated by tantaijin like a whiny younger sister or student, ye xiwu’s wingwoman
pang yizhi/scholar pang - literally the only carefree soul in this entire angst-fest (if it matters, he feels very enfp to me), would be fun to hang out with, the perfect foil to xiaolin, somehow managed to get on the wrong side of tantaijin alongside xiaolin and escaped unscathed, he’s here to assist and watch the show and fly back to the immortal world of daozhangs after it ends
gan baiyu - speaking of someone who’s always watching the show, who could forget the ever-loyal gan baiyu who’s stayed by tantaijin’s side as he rose to power? who stood by when tantaijin was throwing all his tantrums? best boy honestly
really looking forward to the second half/arc (?) of the drama after the 500 years!
#till the end of the moon#anyone wanna comment or add on to this feel free to do so!#i need answers#mine

5.11.22
My worst idea to date was to look through the photos on my phone.
I didn’t go looking for you!! I was looking for a picture of me!
Fucks sake.
You’re laced between every event in my life, every single memory prior to the 18th of November is coated in you.
…
And every single memory since the 18th is still veiled by my imprint on you.
I can’t win. I don’t know if I even want to. Loosing means I got to have you. I’m so confused, who ends up winning here? It can’t be me.
Even my memories before you, the years I spent growing up as a little girl, playing alone in hollow hedges, creating dams for beavers, lining up snails, growing up, falling in love with the wrong men, crying and sobbing for you without knowing you existed.
I was searching for you in those bushes, chatting away to myself whilst playing, unknowingly making jokes, I know now you would have found funny.
I spent my teen years trying to craft the perfect man out of many, finding small elements I deemed would make my soul sing. You not only came with all their good traits but your own personal ones too…and those ones are my favourite.
I’ve been unknowingly looking for you my whole life.
I wanted you to let me love you forever, I felt more desperate everyday to feel the same love beaming back to me from you. I never realised there was an expiration date.
You know I would been there forever right?
You know if you didn’t hurt me over and over I would have loved you more every day.
You know even though you hurt me over and over I still love you more everyday.
You know I will use my last breath to tell you ‘I love you’, you and only you.
Do you know that?
You know I wanted you as my family, to create our own family, to be the most loving mother, the happiest wife, to be with you when we are old. Adore you till you die.
Did you know that?
I have so much love to give, but I know you know that one already. You lived it.
It’s strange knowing someone you love is just existing on the same earth as you, and the only way they take shape in your life is through your mind.
My imagination and memories is all that keeps you alive.
I feel hollow knowing you’re dead in many ways, that the love between us died. I scattered the ashes on the north cliffs.
My love lives on like a depressed widow, I’m veiled, I don’t want anyone to see. Can you imagine how embarrassing! “Look there’s the girl who loves a dead man”
Even when I walk down the isle veiled in white, the man who lifts it will see me, see me smiling up at him, eyes sparkling with excitement and love. But out the corner of his eye he catches glimpse of a small piece of black mesh laced into the veil. And he will know. I am forever mourning you.
From the outside no one would ever know, no one could ever guess that I am in constant torment over my own inability to control your power over me. I always told you in a good actress, well just like the last four years were your most award winning skits. Mine are to come and in progress as we speak. The rest of my life will be my best performance yet. I’ll be sure of it. No one will know how broken I really am.
In my mind, in my imagination, we’re laying on a blanket, just above ‘rat pee falls’. The sun is setting casting blood orange across the sky, and it’s warm, the wind is the kind of warm that creeps up our sleeves and down our necks in a blissful kiss.
Your hand is tracing my face, gently touching the strands of hair running away.
And I’m so in love.
You’re so in love.
When you look at me you feel strong, you feel powerful in your love and want to protect me.
You never hurt me in this created reality.
I’m safe.
I’m finally not in danger anymore.
The heat of your body so close to mine, makes my heart race.
The touch of your skin on mine sends vibrations throughout my whole body. Every cell is singing.
My breaths are full and rich, the oxygen is flowing through my veins relaxing every muscle, every thought in my mind is hushed. It’s just you and me. Forever and always.
I’m smiling.
I get to love you in this world.
And I love that.
I shouldn’t have looked through my phone.

Tom Hansen in 500 Days of Summer
OK, so I know that Tom is the ‘villain’ of the film, which Joseph Gordon-Levitt never stops talking about, and there’s a video on YouTube with the audio adjusted where Summer is talking about her insecurities and Tom literally can’t hear her because the narrator is talking over her in the original unedited scene and it’s meant to be symbolic of how Tom never listened to anything that didn’t fit his fantasy, but I found him super cute when I first watched it and I’m being sentimental, so I’m posting all of my favourite Tom moments.
My first one is when Tom meets Summer in the elevator and he’s wearing his dumb vintage headphones with his Walkman and he’s immediately infatuated with her because she knows his weird emo nineties music and he thinks that it means that she “gets” him. As someone who is way too invested in music, this hit home for me. You can literally see him start to obsess. It’s so cute.
My second moment is when Summer kisses Tom in the copy room and then walks away and Tom looks all dishevelled and doe-eyed and confused. He really fell hard. You can see him beginning to construct a fantasy of this woman in his mind and it’s so relatable.
I liked the bit at the bar where Tom is like, “It’s love. It’s not Santa Claus” and you can see that he is determined to get Summer to fall in love with him because he’s so in love with love as a concept and wants to be in love with someone. You never see men fit that character in films and it’s just really nice to see someone be obsessed with love.
I like the scene where Tom enters Summer’s room for the first time and is obsessed with all of her knickknacks because he wants to get to know her through her interests like she knew his.
Summer blows a feather off of his face and the audio is sort of distorted and it gives it this intimate quality. This is probably the happiest that they are in the film. It’s so nice.
I love when they’re in the park too and Summer is screaming swear words and Tom is like, “Oop! Oh, no!” and you can see the shock and worry on his face like they’re going to get in trouble. He really is like... a creature of comfort and habit. He doesn’t want people to come over and disturb them. Summer is like his One Person.
And I liked all of the scenes at the record store. Seeing Tom be a music snob is just so enjoyable. He just likes to bitch. Let the man bitch! He just wants someone who will yap about music with him.
I like when they’re arguing in the little bar and Summer says, “We’ve been like Sid and Nancy” and Tom says, “Summer, Sid stabbed Nancy. I hardly think I’m Sid” and Summer says, “No, I’m Sid” and Tom says, “Oh, so I’m Nancy.” The actors did a skit on YouTube where the characters roleplayed as Sid and Nancy. It’s really funny. I just think that Tom feeling petulant and personally insulted at being Nancy is such a Nancy thing and it’s really ironic.
Then, there’s the bit at the bar when Tom punches a guy and then pretends that he was doing it as a favour but really he just wanted to punch a guy because he’s a bitch. He looks so cute with an ice bag pressed to his cheek and then they don’t talk and Summer shows up at his house and he says, “I just want to know you won’t feel differently in the morning” and Summer says, “I can’t promise you that. No one can.” It’s so sad. Tom is literally so longing.
Him complaining about his job, saying stuff like, “Greeting cards teach people not to say how they feel” and “I thought, ‘Why make something impermanent like a building when I could make something that lasts for ever like a greeting card?’” is great. Any time he’s surly about his job is just a highlight. I thrive on Tom bitching about music and tattoos and his job. He just wants someone to listen to him complain and it’s really relatable.
Then, there’s the long montage where they meet again and Tom doesn’t know that she’s engaged yet and is just happy to be with her. It’s really well-lit and sort of dazed, but it was nice.
And the scene at the beginning where Summer cuts off all of her hair and Tom spends all of his time watching romance films. It’s so cute and it’s such a clear representation of their characters.
I also liked his tomboy sister. She’s such a character without being a stereotype. She perfectly matches all of the tomboys that I knew, growing up in the 2000s, who liked rough-and-tumble and baggy shirts but still liked boys and long hair and didn’t want to deal with emotional stuff and were really good with advice. It’s nice to see him be nice to her.
The bench scenes where they’re laughing on the bench are so nice too and the scene at the end where Summer says, “I thought, ‘Tom was right’” and Tom laughs like, “No way” and Summer says, “Yeah, it’s just not me you were right about” and he looks so heartbroken. It’s really just a film about longing.
OK, so yeah. Basically, I think that Tom is really relatable and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is super cute. Might do a post on how cute he is.

thank you thank you so much ur so sweet and of course! here you go and i hope you like it :) absolutely loved writing for latina!reader
Awards Season (latina!reader)
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Here to present the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, please welcome Meryl Streep!” the host announced. A roar came from the audience at the mention of her name, the very acclaimed actress welcoming the attention and making her way to the microphone.
“Oh, stop it” she said and waved them away, earning a laugh and even more cheering from the theatre. “If I’m honest, I really considered not presenting this award because it breaks me inside to give the Oscar to someone else when it’s rightfully mine” she said in a funny, raspy evil voice, resembling a witch, “But you know, sharing is caring or whatever. Alright let’s get to it.” she continued dejectedly, still joking.
“This year, we have been blessed with beautiful films and, along with them, incredible performances from beautiful and talented actresses. Viola Davis, your abilities to embody different characters and raise awareness to ongoing issues in society has always amazed us, and it does once again in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”, Meryl announced, the camera going to Viola who was sitting about 10 seats to my left, the audience (including me) applauding and praising her. Literally all of her performances are incredible.
Could I still believe I was here? Definitely not, and not any time soon. From small skits to my big break with Tom Holland in a stupid rom-com that I didn’t even want to make, to now. Tom knows it’s nothing against him, it’s just that I haven’t learned to appreciate romantic comedies the way he has, but the thing I loved most from doing it was finishing it with Tom. He had become such an important person in my life since that moment, what with guiding me through the newfound world of fame and being there for me when I joined the Marvel franchise, it was just more than I could ever dream of. Now I sit here at the freaking Oscars, with Tom Holland as my date, and having done one of the greatest films ever, nothing could keep the smile off my face. Or the nerves.
My leg kept bouncing up and down, a nervous action I often did and one that the guy beside me had caught on to real quick when we first met. His warm hand gently squeezed my thigh, and I turned to look at him a little surprised.
“Hey, it’s okay” he softly said, his gaze soft and comforting.
“I didn’t even realize I was doing it” I answered in the same tone, whispering a thank you and letting my hand rest on top of his, weirdly interlocking our fingers.
Meryl turned to where Olivia Colman was sitting, “Your Majesty,” she started, referencing her portrayals of royalty and causing her to chuckle, “your moving performances have always left us wanting more, and I’m sure that is what I and everyone felt when we saw you in The Father” a big smile broke out on her face, and cheering ensued once more for our queen, or at least one of mine.
“Aging is some we all go through...unfortunately,” Meryl uttered into the mic, touching up her almost white hair, “and you, Cynthia Erivo, made us relate to your character this way with your brilliant acting in Reaching 39″, that woman is simply amazing, I thought as I clapped and cheered with the audience.
“My dear Kate,” the camera panned to Kate Winslet, who just stared fondly at the woman on the stage, “watching you grow as an actress has been one of the pleasures of my life and you reach new heights both professionally and literally in Misdemeanors”, she is such an icon, oh my.
Finally, Meryl Streep turned to look at me in the front row with a grin on her face, and I quickly got into “camera mode”, as I like to call it. I sat up straighter, looking at her with gentle eyes and smile.
“Señorita Y/N Y/L,” she started with the heavily accented Spanish word for Ms., “with your entrance into the world of filmmaking, you have set new expectations for all of us to reach. Even though this is your first nomination, I feel in my heart it won’t be the last, and we can’t wait to see more of you like we saw with your extraordinary performance in Paraíso” she finished, bringing a big smile to my face at her words. Turning to the camera, I became a bit shy and gave a small wave, feeling Tom squeeze my hand in comfort and another hand on my shoulder from behind. I turned to see Salma Hayek, one of my co-stars in the film, who gave me a strong nod and smile, loudly saying “Eso!” as a cheer for me.
“And the Oscar goes too...” ayyyyy no ay no que nervios que nervios que nervios me muero- all of this going through my head repeatedly but having to put on a smile and a calm façade for the camera was exhausting. Tranquila, tranquila, si no ganas está bien igual solo el hecho de estar aquí ya es lo más-
“Y/N Y/L, Paraíso!” Meryl announced, and all I heard were screams and loud clapping from around me.
Shocked, I looked up with wide eyes and my jaw going slack a little. I felt a buzz fill my body and the idol on the stage beckoned me up, when I realized I hadn’t moved. I slowly stood up and instantly turned to Tom who quickly pulled me into his arms with a strong hug and whispering in my year, “I knew it! I knew you would do it darling. I’m so so proud of you babe, go get your award!” not giving me a chance to answer as he gave me a quick kiss and turned me around in the direction of the stage. Still in a bit of a daze, I didn’t see Salma, Eugenio (Derbez), and Benicio (del Toro) make their way to me, ambushing me in a group hug as they started jumping around and sort of with me, chanting “EH! EH! EH!” like Latinos at a party and causing me to laugh and come back to my senses. I hugged them all and continued to the stairs, stopping to hug my directors Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón.
I lifted my dress as I ascended the steps, and in true nervous fashion, stumbled and almost face planted in front of thousands of people.
“Uy, mierda” I chuckled to myself, and accepted the help of none other than Chris Evans who lent his arm for the remaining steps. I thanked him with a smile and after his Congrats!, I made my way to Meryl who held the famous award in her hands. She handed it to me and pulled me into her embrace, saying “Beautiful job, sweetheart, you’re amazing”, and all I could answer was “Oh my, thank you so much, you’re the amazing one”, sharing a laugh with her and standing in front of the mic.
I looked out into the audience, who were still giving me a standing ovation. Almost like a camera in my head, I tried to ingrain this moment in my mind and took a deep breath, starting my speech.
“God, I really hope I don’t forget any words in English right now” I said with a breathless laugh, inciting one from the people below me. “Thank you so much. Thank you to...um...so many people. To the Academy for this great, great honor. To my fellow nominees for inspiring me every single day. Being in the same room as you is already insane, let alone being nominated with you, it’s just- it’s truly out of this world. Viola, Olivia, Kate, Cynthia, you are my literal idols and if I could physically cut this Oscar into five pieces,” I said as I made a motion of cutting the award and humoured the audience, “I would give a piece to all of you. Um, thank you to my team, my agent, Victoria, te adoro y te agradezco for believing in me and helping me live out my dream. Sorry, I’m probably gonna switch between languages during this.” I said with a laugh.
“Paraíso was a project that, for me, came out of nowhere. But for my extraordinary directors los señores Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón, it was a life’s work so to you, gracias por darme la oportunidad de darle vida a Marielos and for giving me the experience of a lifetime. Salma, Eugenio, Benicio, Gael, and all the cast and crew, thank you for becoming my second family and supporting me every step of the way. It has been my honor to work with you” I said with a hand on my chest, showing that I was speaking from my heart and smiling at the kisses and cheers sent to me from them, hearing a crazed Te amamos! from Eugenio. It eased the tension in my body which I was incredibly thankful for.
“I also want to thank-” I stopped, getting a little choked up, “ha, sorry, it’s my family that couldn’t be here” I said, a wave of claps and cheering in comfort came from the audience. Quickly composing myself, I continued, “Ya, okay. All the way back home, lo hice! Familia, les dije que no les iba a agradecer si me ganaba un Oscar algún día por no creer en mi y hoy es ese día, pero no me lo perdonaría si no les agradezco. Gracias por apoyarme a pesar de que yo sé que les dio un ataque que quisiera ser actriz. Gracias por siempre estar ahí para mi, por quererme incondicionalmente y por enseñarme que trabajando duro todo se puede lograr. Los amo infinitamente.” I finished, with tears threatening to roll down my eyes. I tilted my head to the sky to prevent them from falling, and with a deep breath I turned to Tom who had his hands in a prayer stance while looking intently at me, the same smile from before still gracing his face.
“Tommy...” I started, and the audience audibly awed at the nickname, “Oh, you don’t even know what I’m gonna say to him” I said with narrowed eyes, but my gaze found my love once more.
“Thank you so much for being my rock ever since we met. I’m beyond thankful for you and all you do for me, baby. You make me the happiest and thank you for pushing me to do things that scare me. For being there for me in case I fall and for being my person. Te amo, amor.” I blowed him a kiss which he caught and jokingly used to wipe his tears, making me and the other celebrities laugh.
Please wrap up, I read from the screen, and let out and “Ay, perdón! I gotta wrap up sorry sorry” hurriedly finishing up my speech.
“Lastly, this award goes out to all the Latina girls out there with big dreams. Nunca se den por vencidas. No dejen que nadie les diga que no porque de que se puede, se puede. Querer es poder! I love you guys, my fans oh my gosh, thank you thank you, gracias!” I rushed out, raising the award to the air with one last big smile as Meryl guided me backstage to answer some questions. Just before I was off sight, I turned and looked out to the stage once more.
Lo logré...

youtube
someone already posted suhyun's entire episode with onew eeeeeeee i'm so excited! i'll be adding commentary to this post for the next hour if i have anything to say lol
-jinki so cute.... suhyun so cute.......
-after akmu's album came out suhyun sent an akmu merch package to a bunch of ppl she likes and she said jinki's reaction made her the happiest because he filmed a v excited unboxing video for her and sent a lot of pics of him wearing it. and he says that he wears the t-shirt and shorts set a lot and uses the bag too in his daily life nowadays. he even showed u to film that day wearing the akmu merch and was surprised his stylist had an outfit prepared for him and that it's a viewable radio not sound only
-i'm regularly amazed at how camera shy and humble jinki is when he's been the leader of one of the country's top bgs for a decade and a half he's wildly famous but does not act like it at all. he says he's the kind of person that doesn't like being the focus but just wants some ppl to be interested in him on occasion and suhyun agreed that that's what he's like. and esp after the military he's v unused to speaking on broadcast and cameras.
-they like each other so much.... suhyun says her first impression of him was of a chewy milk candy and her impression was correct, and that jinki is the kindest person she has ever met in her life. jinki replies that he got a first impression that suhyun is a little cold but after talking to her realized that she's very smart and very professional and very caring and has a lot of leadership skill. and suhyun said that she's never really had people say that to her because she works mostly with her brother who's very in his own head.
-suhyun says that she thought she was used to doing shows and working closely with people then saying goodbye but she found that she genuinely missed the sea of hope cast more than usual and jinki was one of the members she missed the most and she realized that they had become genuinely close. and jinki replied that he had a similar experience but also during filming he kept feeling the urge to help her and do random nice things for her when he didn't have to and that he wants to maintain this relationship as it is. he said that he's the kind that's a little reluctant when he a schedule but when the offer came for the radio show guest spot he was excited and said "of course i'll do it!" and suhyun said that her staff was so surprised he said yes and were excited because he doesn't do this kind of thing often.
-before the whole cast met jinki texted suhyun to ask what songs they should sing together and turns out they had v different ideas on what to sing. jinki says that suhyun has no limit to what she can sing but he himself does and that he has a set of songs that he can sing flexibly and well (sad ballads, older songs) but hadn't heard of any of the newer music suhyun suggested
-the staff wrote a super cute skit for them to act out it's so cute 😭😭😭 and it's a loooong script but both suhyun and jinki had long radio show careers and had to do those kinds of skits on the spot all the time and usually submissions. also the staff tried to make a gif/meme happen by putting super cutesy slang into some of jinki's lines but it's so not how he speaks he just changed it but it made the script slightly not make sense.
-they played jinki's main song from midnight sun as the next track and talked about how suhyun went to see it after meeting him once. it was the first filming for sea of hope and suhyun was making small talk like asked him what he's doing lately and he talked about the musical and turns out suhyun is a fan of the movie it's an adaptation of and he invited her to watch the musical. idk how to translate how funny this is by korean social norms tho it makes no sense that she would go see his musical right after they first met there's no reason for that but suhyun just wanted to see it so he got her tickets.
-wait jinki has literally only done 1 interview about his musical at ALL it's wild that suhyun has a whole corner for this i rly appreciate it!! i loved midnight sun i had an amazing time watching it and i love jinki's character haram
question: what kind of person is haram?
jinki: to me, haram is a very innocent/earnest person that knows a lot but isn't pretentious about it, and cputs a lot of care even into his facial expressions when listening to other people speak. and that when there's a surprise or a shock it's usually something he's already considered. and that's how i feel like i am as well, i was able to act in the role very freely and intuitively.
-this is ADORABLE suhyun says that she loved

Paper Flowers: Assumptions
People make snap judgements all the time. About fictional characters as well as the people in their lives. It gets dangerous however when you assume your perception is the truth.
“Hello all you Fanders out there!” the voice over of DarkStarlight sounds through your speaker as the screen shows the title card of their series Fanders illustrated. The concept is simple enough. They talk about things from Thomas’ content or the fan community they liked while showing speeddraws based on it. It’s really fun to see.
“So a while ago I made this drawing based on the names we picked for the Prince’s nemesis.”
The image changes to a drawing of two versions of the character standing back to back. The dark, mischievious Marcus against a dark red background, and the awkward blushy Kevin against a lighter blue, the collors mixing to purple in the center.
“And the comments have been wild!” A blank canvas is shown as they start sketching.
“There were several theories about how these two boys could be one and the same.
The theory I want to draw today is a cute one. So CatPrincess suggested Marcus is an act Kevin puts up to help the prince. Kevin, according to her, is a staff member of the palace. And when the Prince got old enough to start looking for a princess, he needed an excuse, since he’s gay or just not really interested in romance. He never really was invested in any princesses in the vines after all. He’s had the most chemistry with males. Prince is gay confirmed.”
You chuckle. And shake your head. This fandom is wild. You just hope the characters can make a transition to youtube. It seems like Vine’s time is really coming to an end.
“Anyway, so whether the prince knows it or not CatPrincesss didn’t say, but Kevin ends up disguising himself as a villain so Prince can say he’s busy defending the realm and that he can’t pursue any Princesses until the villain is defeated. I really like the idea of Prince and Kevin having little inside jokes and grinning at each other secretly while Kevin tends to the family during dinner as they hear the king and queen complain about the villain. So. What do you think?”
And just like that the drawing is done. It’s Prince and a formally dressed Kevin glancing at each other with subtle smirks while behind them their silhouettes are crossing swords.
You like and share the video before checking in on tumblr, you still have some time to kill before dinner.
“I don’t see why we even bother still making vines every day. We’re finished, it’s over,” Virgil muttered as he paced the floor of the common area. He really hated being the barer of bad news, but no one was coming to terms with this simple fact.
“We have sworn to entertain the fanders, and it is not over until the fat lady sings,” Roman explained calmly from his spot, draped over the couch, pretending to be more interested in his notes for the ultimate storytime tour.
The announcement had taken the internet by storm and even Virgil was excited, though he never showed that to the others. He couldn’t leave his room for five days because he couldn’t stop ‘sparkling’ as Roman had come to call his excited look. Just in his head though, he was fairly sure Virgil wouldn’t appreciate it.
“What are we going to do after!?” Virgil insisted.
“We could look for a real job?” Logan suggested though he wasn’t very hopeful.
Virgil was nodding to himself, that was an option he supposed.
“We could make more scripted youtube video’s? People have been commenting they wished they could see more of our characters than six second skits?” Patton suggested.
“Brilliant idea Padre!” Roman exclaimed as he sat up and started skribling.
“We could make a series about the dad and teacher! Liam, Fiona and Gavin might like participating… Oh, and we could make marvelous stories about the prince… Idea!!!!”
He jumped up and made a gesture towards all of them. “We could make a series about us!” he declared proudly. “The fanders want to know more about Thomas, what better way to talk about that than by showing them who we are!?”
Patton was clapping excitedly while Logan and Virgil seemed apprehensive.
“Oh, that sounds so fun!!!” the fatherly side cheered.
“I don’t know,” Virgil objected. “It feels too exposed.”
“Indeed, we are a very personal part of Thomas. We should not be shown to the world so carelessly,” Logan agreed, mostly opposed to being displayed as a source of entertainment for others.
“We don’t have to go all in right away. Thomas can start with acting like our vine counterparts and see how the fanders react and if they like the idea we slowly but surely let our real selves shine through. Little steps,” Roman suggested.
Logan cocked his head. “That was, a very well thought out solution…” he admitted. It was odd. When had this started? Roman usually just spat out ideas and took any criticism as a personal offence. When did he start taking feedback into consideration?
Roman gasped and brought a hand to his heart in offence. “Don’t sound so surprised!” he huffed.
“I don’t know…” Virgil said slowly. The fanders liked his character… But that guy wasn’t literal anxiety.
Roman sighed dramatically. “Tell you what. I draft up some ideas. And after the tour we can revisit the subject. Vine won’t disappear overnight,” he reasoned.
Logan and Patton nodded in agreement. “Fine,” Virgil relented before pulling his hoodie over his head and stalking off.
Patton frowned. “He’s never happy is he?” he muttered sadly. Roman bit back his reaction. Patton was both wrong and right. This part of Virgil couldn’t be happy. But Roman knew of other parts that could be the happiest out of all of them. Happier than even Patton could ever hope being.
“Well who’s fault is that?” A voice drawled from the door opening. Roman automatically drew his sword while Patton and Logan reflexively moved to stand a little more behind him.
“Such a warm reception, I’m so touched,” Deceit said, hand on his heart, a sarcastic sting to his voice and a roll of his eyes.
"Well," Roman huffed as he put away his sword. "Maybe if you didn't apparate in dark corners for no good reason we wouldn't assume an attack was imminent. You are lucky you just missed anxiety, he might not have been able yo hold himself back." Realy what was that snake thinking?
"Thanks for the concern Roman, but other than you three, I know how to handle him."
Roman once more bit his tongue. Keeping his promise not to reveal their bond has never been so hard. This particular side was much more likely to catch him evading and omitting.
He rolled his eyes dramatically and crossed his arms in front of him. "Is there anything you needed Deceit?" Patton asked as he stepped forward laying a soothing hand on Roman's arm.
"Just checking in. And I must say I am not impressed. Morality I had hoped you'd put in a little more effort to make Anxiety comfortable up here. At this rate I might have to take him back with me." Roman could feel Patton cringe at that. That's it. Virgil's friend or not, Roman would not let him upset his family.
“Oh drop it scaleface. Empty threats will only go so far,” he said with a hand on his hip and a roll of his eye.
“Who says they’re empty?” Deceit drawled, studying his nails. “The whole reason Anxiety came up here was to reduce his stress, but if you all just keep making him unhappy, what is the point?” Deceit wondered calmly, though Roman could see there was a vague annoyed pull at his eyes. He clearly did not like being questioned.
“If he really was as unhappy as you imply, then why hasn’t he gone back to you and Remus who supposedly know how to ‘handle him’ so much better?” There was a mild flinch in Deceit’s posture, making Roman wondered if he accidently hit a nerve somehow.
“Just say what you came here for, Deceit. We all have other things to do.” Because deceit was rarely straightforward. Virgil hadn’t told him much about living down there, but that much he’d learned.
Janus just huffed and left.
“Charming as always!” Roman huffed as he combed his fingers through his hair.. He let out a sigh and dropped his hand before looking down at Patton.
“Are you alright Padre?” he wondered.
“I… Yes actually. Thank you Roman…” Roman wanted to bid the two bespectacled sides a good day and start writing on the new series and finish of his ideas for the tour, but the he noticed Patton was biting his lip nervously and so he waited.
“Do you really think… he’s not going to take Anxiety back is he?”
Roman smiled warmly down at Patton before turning to Logan. “Logan, could Thomas ‘forget about anxiety’ at this point?” he asked.
Logan cocked his head confused. “No, denying Anxiety is a part of Thomas, the way Thomas refused to acknowledge his presence in the past, is not possible. Deceit does not have the power to force such a change. Only if the three of us were to agree to it, could something like that be accomplished. And I do not intent to participate in such endeavor,” Logan stated. Patton relaxed at that.
“And I suppose I have gotten used to our war of wits. I shan’t permit him to leave until I reign victorious! Speaking of victory! I’m off writing a script so brilliant the fanders will demand more!”
And with that he finally did make his exit.
He returned to his room and immediately started on his projects. He was not sure what Deceit was trying to accomplish, but it would not deter him from his mission.
In the commons Logan has left as well and Patton his tidying up. Trying not to let Deceit’s words get to him… Who’s fault was it? His? Roman’s? Was there another thing he was missing?
At the border of the conscious mind Janus was beyond annoyed. It didn’t really matter. The idea of failure was planted, and if he knew the lights at all it’s that they would try harder to make Virgil feel comfortable, if only to prove him wrong. Virgil would not like that Janus had gotten involved, but he was worried. How couldn’t he be? Over the past few month’s Virgil had been acting off. Sure he was being more sociable, but after every interaction he was so rained he more or less disappeared. That was the only explanation Janus had for the times he’d visited to make sure he was alright and find the room empty. He hadn’t brought it up with Virgil, since doing so would most likely end up being more about him entering Virgil’s room without permission rather than an actual explanation.
And it didn’t really matter. Janus knew one thing with unwavering certainty.
If the lights didn’t get their act together, they might lose him.

I’m gonna make Adeleines opinions on all the dream friends and then maybe the helpers idk (and a few others cuz fuck it!)
Kirby: 10/10 best goddamn friend
Huge ball of love and joy!!! The happiest little friend!! He may be small but he is packed with love!!! One of Adeleines best friends and she care him :)
Bandee: 10/10 Friend :)
Friend from way back during the Crystal Shards incident! He’s a little anxious (think Tuter from Bear in the Big Blue House) but he’s very sweet and strong! He’s supportive of her and also squishable. Dees are surprisingly squishy!
King Dedede: 10/10 Mentor figure!
He’s super cool! Helped her find herself during Crystal Shards and was the first to get her to speak to everyone! She used to only speak French and barely spoke English (tragedy had occurred a few years before and she hadn’t recovered from it yet, being so young when it all happened), and he taught her a whole bunch of stuff along the way! She learned how to speak a lot of English, got a bunch of random trivia out of him, and learned how to be strong! He’s almost a dad but she’s too scared to try and call him that (he would ABSOLUTELY let her call him “dad” tho)
Meta Knight: 9/10 Oddly nice!
She was nervous around him early on because “mysterious knight has a sharp sword and doesn’t seem to care about safety” but he proved her wrong! He’s surprisingly chill and she really enjoys his company!
Rick, Kine, and Coo: 9/10 Old friends!
She’s known them since she was 3! Her mom introduced her to them before Dreamland 3 happened and she’s best buds with them! They’re all a lot bigger than you’d think and she can and will snuggle up with them in a big sleeby cuddle pile. All are soft except for Kine who is smooth :)
Marx: 7/10 Kinda scary but SOFT
He’s kinda creepy looking, especially when he’s got his wings out, but he’s not as terrifying as he looks? He’s got some odd little ticks but he’s snuggly and smol! He’s fluffy and it’s really weird? Like, he doesn’t look like he’s fluffy??? But he is??? She cannot wrap her brain around it but tries not to.
Gooey: 7/10 Funky lad
Points taken off because of him being Dark Matter and thats got a lot of trauma behind it for her, but Gooey is a legit funky friend. She was terrified of him at first (see: Star Allies title screen skits) but she’s friends with him now! He’s got a habit of holding everything with his tongue and exploring with said tongue (stuff gets slimy real quick) but aside from that he’s a malleable squishy friend!
Daroach: 8/10 Rat boy!
He’s got a New York accent and he’s a chaotic little bastard but absolutely sweet!! He’s made Adeleine an honorary Squeak Squad member and even gave her a little bell to commemorate the event! He takes her on occasional treasure hunts (safer ones because she’s fragile and speed is not her forte) and she gets to keep whatever she finds and an even portion of the total spoils!
Dark Meta Knight: 10/10 Adopted dad
Dude literally said “Is anyone gonna adopt this poor, fragile child who deserves the world?” and then didn’t wait for an answer. She was originally almost just as scared of him as she was of Gooey, but she warmed up to him super quick! He looks scary (and can be) but is really just a short ball of love and purrs.
Magolor: 7/10 What is he saying.
He’s the cool wizard friend but points off because half the time he’s speaking in Halcandrian and she has no idea what that is or how to translate it, nor does anybody else. He’s wacky and absolutely does magic tricks for people (Adeleine being one of them since she has a very vague grasp on magic and that stuff looks super cool to her) but like... what is he saying????????
Taranza: 9/10 Spider friend!!!!!!
He’s really good friends with her! They both sorta have someone they lost and still grieve over (Adeleines being her mom and Taranzas being Sectonia), so they look out for one another in that aspect, but they get along really well!!! He’s kinda soft and he sticks out his tongue when he’s happy!! They both go to Floralia and drink tea together at least once a month!!!
Susie: 6/10 Tolerable...
Susie is not a personal favorite for Adeleine on account of the fact that she tried to invade (emphasis on tried) Cloudy Park to mechanize it. She only succeeded in getting data from Kracko (who nearly fucking obliterated her and her robot right then and there) and was quickly chased out. The two have just... not liked each other since and Adeleine wasn’t very happy to see her join the group. She’s done some good things!!! She created super eco-friendly tech and gave it out to Dreamlanders and such, but her personality can be bitchy and she tends to not get along too well.
Francisca: 8/10 Cold but a friend!!!
She’s very very pretty and Adeleine kinda envies that (she doesn’t exactly have the means to keep herself looking pristine. The best she can do is wear something that isn’t her smock and fluff up her hair a little) but they’re close friends!! The two make gelato sometimes and it always turns into a fun mess because Adeleine has no fucking idea how to bake literally anything other than cinnamon rolls and gelato is WAY outside her skill level. It always tastes good tho!!!
Flamberge: 9/10 Cooking buddy!
Don’t let these two into the kitchen at once unless you want a banquet of food to come out of it. Berge brings out Adeleines more chaotic side and they get into trouble a lot. They make up for it with cooking! You’d think Berge would burn stuff with her fire magic but nope! Shes a frighteningly good cook! They can often be found cooking together!!!
Zan Partizanne: 8/10 Gives me mom energy but doesn’t seem to like me.
Had a bad habit of insulting everyone because she didn’t like them (see: Kirby Twitter) but she’s warmed up to everyone. She tried to keep up that “tough-guy” facade because she hates being seen as weak, but Adeleine has caught her holding Kirby like a kitten and bouncing/rocking him whilst baby talking him. She’s shown some genuine care for Adeleine, but sometimes it’s reeeeeaalllyy hard to tell if she genuinely cares about her or not.
#fira knight screeches#I need a headcannon tag...#fira makes braincells#there we go!#I’ll do the Star Allies helpers later my braincells need to recharge and consume#I am hungy and require sustenance#anyways yeah Adeleine likes just about everyone! Helpers are probably gonna be a different story tho#more variety and I can go ham on those#also 1 more hour before a cursed sight blesses your dash ;)

Ahhh!! I keep thinking of cool skits to give you, sorry if this ones kinda lame!! How would Michael Myers (or others) be with a really needy S/O AGAIN LOVE YOU!
Honestly I always look forward to your asks. I was actually checking to see if I got any asks from you I think you and your asks are great!
MICHAEL MYERS
Depends on his mood. Sometimes he loves it and may even exploit it a bit by purposefully hiding and waiting for you to cry out for him.
It gets annoying when his voices are acting up and he needs to be isolated. So he just leaves the house. He found a nice spot hidden in your shed.
One day he comes back from his isolation to see you cuddled up to one of his shirts. He leaves them out more after that and he likes it when you wear his shirts and nothing else. His eyes always sparkle with life when he sees you wearing his clothes. Almost cries one night after your clingyness pisses him off and he storms out. He comes back and you hold onto him and tell him "I was so worried you weren't coming back! I need you so much Micheal!" His eyes tear up.
Be careful because if you get too needy he'll basically carry you around like a stuffed animal to keep you from whining about wanting to cuddle him.
It can be annoying sometimes for him but he definitely likes it bc he likes you to need him. He murdered his own sister yet a sweet little thing like you needs him in their life.
BUBBA SAWYER
Bubba loves it and Drayton hates it. It distracts him from work when you whine and cry for Bubba to come and give you a kiss or a cuddle. You feel bad for Bubba when Drayton yells so you end up bribing Bubba. The faster he does his work the faster and more affection he gets.
Bubba maybe needier than you. He wants you by his side every minute of the day and you dont argue with him. You get teased for being so clingy but they know Bubba's clingier.
Bubba seeing you wear his shirt after a hard day of work it awakens so many things in him. He loves you so much and he'll wanna wear something of yours while he works. He promises not to get it too dirty.
He just needs all the love. Knowing that you need him just makes him so happy and it honestly brings him to tears. Hes felt so self conscious and useless that your neediness really just completes him.
THOMAS HEWITT
Will not let anyone else near you, touch you and if he can help it look at you. His mama, aunt and Henrietta are okay but Hoyt and Monty better stay the FUCK away from you.
You being needy will be all he ever needs. He thinks of himself of a monster or a beast who no one loves. So the fact that the one he loves more than anything absolutely without a doubt needs him it fills him with ecstasy.
No one is allowed near you without his say so or him watching. Besides his mama. His mama knows how he feels so whenever shes with you she kicks the boys outta the room.
Thomas is so so affectionate. Always touching you as if you aren't real and he cant believe you exist. Even scolding from his mama wont stop him this time.
His heart always skips a beat with you. So after a particularly hard day and he finds you in his shirt his heart stops. He sees your eyes lighten up when you see him and as soon as you touch him whether it's a hug or kiss he starts crying. He's so relieved to have someone love him like this after being alone for so long and having you wear his clothes and hold onto him like your lifeline makes him the happiest man in the world.
JASON VOORHEES
He wants to keep you locked up until a cage and away from the world. Hes only had one person who needed him and that was his mama. So when his cute S/O needs him so desperately it warms his heart and makes all the years of abuse and loneliness worth it.
Dont ever leave his sight. And if you aren't in his sight be in the house. He doesn't worry as much though because he knows you want to be by his side all the time and it makes him so damn happy.
Cuddles cuddles cuddles. Hes so touch starved that your neediness makes him feel right at home. Comfy in his little cabin with his S/O who wants him by his side.
He catches you wearing one of his worn out shirts one night after his patrol and he just like Tommy cries. He sobs. He tries not to wake you but you ultimately do. And as soon as you place your hands on his mask where his cheeks are and place a kiss on it that's when he knows.
He unbuckles his mask from his face. You see his face and your eyes glitter. He cries harder. No one has looked at his face with such love. You kissing him for real seals the deal. He'll never leave your side.
BO SINCLAIR
Exploits it at first. Then he realizes how much he needs you as well but tries to hide it as much as possible. But he also shows you off to future victims as much as possible. Like look at my S/O! Look at how much they need me and love me!
He thinks it's so cute. He likes to fuck with you sometimes. He'll say he'll be back then hide around just to see your reaction. He stops after one time he hides for two hours after saying he'd be back in a minute and he sees you calling for him and sobbing. He feels so bad he doesn't leave your side for a week.
The fact that you're so needy makes him feel better nc you dont pay half as much attention to his brothers as you do him. Sure you're friendly and nice towards them but seeing you turn. Around and cover him in affection makes his ego grow.
Seeing you wear his clothes turns him on and really cements the fact that he needs you. He'll cuddle you a lot before suggesting something less family friendly but he still wants you wearing his shirt while fucking.
VINCENT SINCLAIR
Hes nervous at first and doesn't think you're genuine. He thinks it's a ploy to get his mask off. It's not until a victim lands a good hit on him and you go batshit. The victim lay dead and you're wrapping up his arm while sobbing about how you wouldn't know what to do without him.
After that hes more open to you and realizes how needy you both are. Hes the most aware of how needy he is for you and loves that you need him just as much. His confidence definitely has raised after getting with you.
He sees you wearing one of his sweater and his face gets hot as fuck. His heart skips a beat and just seeing you curled up in his clothes hugging his pillow on his bed hes so happy and gets brave.
He takes off his mask and goes to kiss you. You wake up and kiss him back. His heart swells up and tou both spend the rest if the night cuddling.

90210 season 3
ep 29&30 Commencement parts 1 and 2
I am loving the whole gangs outfits at the beginning of this episode
did they really all take a 40 min drive(if traffic was light) just to discuss this plan of theirs?
I love that Brenda and Dylan were the first ones togo for steve’s plan(soul mates! little rebellious soul mates ;) those two )
awe. cute little moment with Brenda & Dylan playing football >.<
Senior Wills? never heard of those did anybody do these at their high school
David 6 finals in 3 days means 2 finals a day...is this not the norm? I mean that’s exactly how i took my finals in high school 2 finals each day school was over by noon each day
How’s Dylan able to go anywhere sending in his application so late? unless he plans to start in the winter or spring semester?
WOW I’m shocked that hulu/the show was actually able to keep one of the songs they used in the original airing(school’s out by Alice Cooper)
Do people who work in TV just blissfully ignore/or forget about college application deadlines? It’s either late May or Mid June by the time these kids are graduating so they should be (or have already) finding out what college they are going to... not just barely submitting applications and recommendation letters
whoa make that 2 for 2 in keeping the songs!
I love that Nat is now an honorary member of the class of ‘93
OMG I forgot that David wasn’t really a part of the gang during the whole Laverne episode! (update: just watched the Laverne episode again David was actually there when Brenda and co. were lip-synching It’s my party)
Also is this episode clip/flashback episode?! So cheesy and cheap and yet I love it already!
oh no Andrea don’t you be having second thoughts about Yale just because of Brandon
lol baby David Silver...back when he had a crush on Kelly... they work much better as step siblings
The Walshes should just open their own ice cream Parlor at this point
Also Brenda and I both agree extra candy in ice cream everyday ;)
“Mom, this is the '90s: what kind of insecure wuss chooses a college based on where some guy is going” ~Brenda just before Andrea walks in...Pot meet Kettle lol
No Andrea thought Damn he’s cute! when Brandon first walked into the news room and you know what i can’t blame her ;)
i think we all jumped to conclusions regarding Andrea and Yale...oops
Smush??? :P that’s really you’re nickname for him Kelly? bleh
of all the flashbacks why must we flashback to Dylan choosing Kelly? did the writers enjoy seeing the fans suffer
they need stop acting like Kelly and Dylan were the big will they wont they couple of the show I’m sorry but they’ve barely been together for like 6-8 months and i’m going to stop there i’ll save the whole Dylan-Brenda-Kelly love triangle fiasco for another day
getting interrupted all the time you’re with Dylan, Kelly maybe you should take it as a sign
I love Dylan’s mom! She’s definitely the captain of Brylan(Brenda & Dylan) ship
“you’re still with Kelly?!”~Iris Mckay 1993 what a mood; same Iris same
I love Steve and Andrea’s friendship such an oddball one but it works
An egg hahaha
the double date from hell! lol that episode was hilarious and one of the last genuine sweet moments Kelly and Brenda had as friends(sans season 4 b/c idk what’s happening there)
Brenda’s Pairis adventure will always be her big what if...and i hate it :’(
an SNL skit lol too cute David and Donna
Damn no forgetting it’s the early ‘90′s with all those TVs on rolling carts...i guess they couldn’t project their video with a projector?
Damn David is not holding back handing Steve the giant legacy key lol
do you think the class of ‘93 was like WTF when they got their video year book and it was basically days in the life of Davids best friends lol
like why was David even considering putting the gangs camping trip in the yearbook? it had nothing to do with school
but i sure am glad they’re showing it lol
wait since when did Brenda and Kelly have a film crew with them when they went sky diving? lol
Hello Day! and who could forget Emily Valentine
what is this random musical number? about Brandon hahaha
oh i thought Brandon was day dreaming but nope it’s happening which makes all that much more bizarre and funny
also is it a little odd that Brenda is apart of this song? maybe it’s just me lol
oh Brandon you’ve been with more than a few girls
Oh the Spring Dance back when Dylan and Brenda were the happiest they’d ever been!
Jim and Cindy get a flashback too and it’s to one of their strangest encounters ever hahahaha until Brandon got arrested for Drunk Driving
Why do they keep teasing/hurting us with these greatest moments of Dylan and Brenda! Now the shower moment?!
Awe i still feel so bad for David and Scott :’(
If i didn’t know any better i’d say this episode is leading back to Dylan and Brenda getting back together but i know it’s not
it sure does feel like you flipped a coin Dylan
had there been no Kelly i think he Brenda would’ve gotten back together
I still think he would’ve had a summer fling...but had it been with someone random or a new character then i think it would’ve ended and he’d realize how stupid he was and get back with Brenda
He loved her more than he ever thought he could love anyone!
so he was scared by how much he genuinely loved Brenda i knew it!
Oh Iris I love how she doesn’t hide who she’s rooting for!
Dylan i know you have your problems with her but when it comes to relationship advice please listen to her ;)
I really wish Kelly would’ve gone to Paris :/
awe cute Minnesota twins moment(but has Brandon always been there for you Brenda? really it’s debateable)
oh I’m glad to see the writers remembered that both Brenda and Brandon transferred to West Beverly as almost straight A students and they are now graduating with honors
it just sounds weird to hear 1993 as 19 hundred and 93
damn poor Andrea can’t even relax on her graduation day
awe Kelly’s father actually showed up :’)
awe i loved that Jim(and Cindy) had a flashback moment that was specific to Brandon and Brenda
Dylan not only got a picture with his mom but now she’s taking a picture of him with Jim and Cindy who she knows might as well been his actual parents with all the times they were there for him
oh wow that was so mature of Dylan to reinstate the trust
uhhh no seriously i’m pretty sure they have to watch out for mountain lions
Very cool (and cheesy) way to end the high school years of 90210(gotta love that green screen lol)
and so we’ve come to the end of another season overall i’d give this season a 7.5/10 it lost a lot of points for all the Brenda-Dylan-Kelly BS it put me through and then even more pints lost when my OTP didn’t come out on top :P but overall good season
Onto Season 4 the gangs first year of college and honestly possibly the last season i watch since Brenda/Shannen leave the show at the end of it idk we’ll cross that bridge when we get there

chapter 20 of don’t read the last page is here!
masterpost
[kristanna / m / multichap / modern au with actress!anna and vetstudent!kristoff]
“I love you,” she said, laughing even though tears were still rolling down her cheeks, “you crazy, sweet, romantic goof.”
“Okay, in my defense, you’re pretty goofy, too.”
She started to laugh again, but then her face blanched so suddenly he grabbed her by the elbows, worried she was about to faint. “Oh, god, Kristoff, what are we gonna do?”
chapter 20: little pink lines
They were silent for a long moment, and then said in unison, "So do you still want to marry me?"
There was another beat of silence, and then Anna said “yes, with all my heart--” right as Kristoff said “of course I do, baby--” and then she was holding out a trembling hand and he was sliding the ring on and now both of them were crying a little bit.
“I’m sorry,” Anna managed to choke out, “if I’d known you were planning on doing this--”
“No, no, it’s fine, I wasn’t really planning it, it’s just, uh, I’ve sort of been carrying the ring around since I got it waiting for the right moment,” he said, his cheeks flushing as he stood up, only to immediately be pulled back down when Anna grabbed him by the collar so she could kiss him.
“I love you,” she said, laughing even though tears were still rolling down her cheeks, “you crazy, sweet, romantic goof.”
“Okay, in my defense, you’re pretty goofy, too.”
She started to laugh again, but then her face blanched so suddenly he grabbed her by the elbows, worried she was about to faint. “Oh, god, Kristoff, what are we gonna do?”
“Hey, hey, don’t panic, okay? You don’t know for sure, right?”
She shook her head, looking like she was going to be sick, and he quickly put his arms around her, pulling her close to his chest. “So it’s...it could be a false alarm, right?”
“I...yeah, I guess. I could just be really late from...from stress or something.”
“Yeah. So no need to panic, right?”
“Am I panicking? Well, okay, I am, but do you feel panicked? Like, panicked enough to--”
“Not panicked,” he said quickly. “Just-- surprised. And kind of afraid. And...excited?”
“...excited?”
“I mean. Um. It’s your choice, obviously, I’m not gonna make you--”
“I wanna keep it. If I am. So if that changes your mind about the marrying me thing again--”
“No! No, god, not at all. I mean, um, I know we haven’t talked about it a ton before, but I want to have kids with you someday anyway, so, uh, I guess it’s just...maybe someday is right now.”
“Really? You’re-- you’re okay with it?” she asked, her eyes wide.
“Are you okay with it?”
“I mean, the timing is...not great. But like...it’s not like I don’t have the money, you know? And after I do this Netflix thing in May I’m clear the rest of the year so far, so it’s just-- just, you know, all the press tours and keeping it a secret and actually being pregnant and...oh, god, I might pass out. Is that bad? If you pass out when you’re pregnant?”
She was turning dangerously gray around the edges. He set a sturdy arm around her waist and quickly guided her over to a bench that was off the main path. “Breathe, baby. It’s gonna be okay.”
“Sorry,” she said, her eyes wide and panicky, “just-- oh, my god. We’re gonna have to, like, tell people.”
He nodded. “Yeah, I...I guess we will.”
“Oh, god, this is gonna fuck up your clinicals and you’re gonna hate all the pictures and--”
“Anna. Please, just-- just hang on. You’re getting ahead of yourself again. We don’t even know if you’re for sure pregnant. And anyway, like-- I don’t know. If you are, then I’m serious, I’m excited about it. A little mini you running around? How could I not be happy about that?”
“But we didn’t plan for this.”
“Okay, well, I didn’t plan to run into you again and fall in love with you and everything that’s come along with it, but I still wouldn’t change any of it. And if this is happening now, then I’m sure it’ll work out, too. And...I don’t know. I mean, okay, it hasn’t even been a year, but you said at the beginning it all felt kind of inevitable, remember?
“Yeah. But I meant it in a bad way, like I jumped in headfirst to stuff because I figured it would happen anyway.”
“Okay, well, I guess that’s kind of what’s happening now, but in a good way. For sure.”
She set her hand over his where it was resting on the bench; he flipped his hand palm up so he could lace their fingers together, and she smiled. “Okay,” she said, “but what if it changes things between us? What if now that we’ve got this going on, you change your mind? Or like, what if we have a baby, and it’s really hard to take care of it, and we end up becoming like, that grumpy couple that shouts at each other in Target and argues about changing diapers?”
“That’s not gonna happen, Anna.”
“What if it does?”
“It won’t. I promise. Okay, so maybe things will change between us some, but I think it’ll be for the better. I mean, you’re maybe possibly having my baby. And you just said you’re gonna marry me. How could I ever do anything but love you more because of that?”
“You’re too good to me.”
“I’m not,” he insisted. “I just love you, that’s all. And you love me back, right?”
She nodded, and he opened his arms. She leaned into him gladly, settling her cheek against his shoulder and wrapping her own arms around his waist. “I love you more than anything, Kris,” she said softly. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“You don’t have to know. I’m not going anywhere, not now and not ever.”
“Fuck, I love you. And me either, except-- oh, shit, I do have to go now, I’m supposed to be back already to finish rehearsal. And I...oh.”
Her face crumpled once more. “I can’t wear the ring. Someone will leak it, and then everyone’ll think Hans proposed to me at lunch and tweet about it.”
Ah, Kristoff thought, so this is what it’s like to be a tin can in a trash compactor.
---
After having bought three pregnancy tests as she’d requested-- “We have to be triple sure, Kris”-- and then going and watching from the audience as Anna made a cameo in one of Hans’s skits to wild applause, Kristoff was a bundle of nerves. The crowds had been insane enough that they had had to go back to the hotel separately, and he’d been pacing for half an hour waiting for her to get back.
He heard the beep and click of the door opening and spun on his heel to see her standing there, her face wiped clean of stage makeup and hair tossed up in a bun, looking oddly placid. “Hi, baby,” she said, smiling as she came over to give him a kiss on the cheek.
“Hi, Anna, are you--”
“Me? I’m fine, really. There’s nothing to worry about, is there? I mean, people are late all the time, aren’t they? You can skip a whole month, you know. Especially when you’re stressed.”
“Okay,” he said, feeling some of the tension drain from his body as she slid her arms around his waist, “okay, so then I’ll just pack the tests and--”
“Oh, shit! You bought them?”
“Well, yeah, you asked me to so--”
“Fuck, no, let me-- oh, god, I’ve got to find out for sure.”
He could only blink in surprise as she jumped back out of his arms and ran over to fumble through the Duane Reade bags on the end of the bed. “I, uh, thought you were just calm about this. And that people were late a lot.”
“Yeah, that was bullshit. I tried meditating in the back of the car and it kinda worked, but I’d much rather just know than try to avoid thinking about it.”
“Wait, Anna,” he said, and she looked up at him, a whole tangle of emotions in her eyes.
He swallowed hard and crossed over to her. “Before we know for sure, I...I want to know how you feel right now. Like, the honest to god truth. Because I’m serious, if you don’t want to keep it, or if you’re scared or upset or...or anything, I want to know the truth.”
“Let’s...let’s sit down,” she said, suddenly quiet, and he did, sitting with his back against the headboard.
Rather than sitting beside him, she clambered up and onto his lap, cupping his jaw between her hands and running her thumbs over his cheekbones. “I will tell you,” she promised. “But now that the initial shock is over, I want to hear what you think about this first.”
“But it’s your choice, Anna. I don’t want you to feel like I’m pressuring you or anything.”
“I know. But I already know what I want. And I know you, and I know that you’re the sweetest man alive and that you’d do anything for me, including pretending to be happy for my sake.”
He winced, but he knew she was right. Her voice was gentle as she went on. “And before I say anything, I want you to tell me the truth. The whole truth, not what you think I want to hear.”
He closed his eyes, drawing in a deep breath, and felt her lean down and press her forehead against his. “And I love you the same, and I’ll still marry you no matter what you say.”
He let out the breath. “I...I want to be a dad, Anna. I always have. And getting to have kids with you...I can’t even begin to explain how bad I want that. And if that’s now or somewhere way in the future, it’s gonna make me the happiest man on the whole planet. Which I still will be, by the way, even if you’re about to tell me you never want kids, because we’re gonna get married and--”
She leaned down and kissed him then, and his eyes flew open when he realized her cheeks were damp. “Baby, why are you crying? Did I say something wrong or--”
“I want to have kids with you, too,” she managed to say in between soggy kisses. “Every time I walk past the spare bedroom I think about how someday we can put a crib in there against the wall, and how we can do a little mobile above it and how we can paint it ourselves and-- and if I am pregnant, then okay, it’s sooner than I expected, but-- but we can make it work, right?”
“Of course we can,” he said, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her into a tight embrace. “We can work out anything together, Anna.”
“Okay. Then let’s pee on some sticks. Well, I’ll do the peeing. You’ll do the...not watching that part. And the holding my hand while we wait part.”
And so she peed on some sticks, and he held her hand after, and half an hour later six little pink lines stared back at him from the lip of the bathtub, and he was sitting on the cold tile floor, Anna on his lap with her knees pulled up to her chest and her face buried in the already damp fabric of his t-shirt.
“I’m so h-happy,” she hiccuped, and he felt his heart leap in his chest. “But I’m so scared and nervous and-- wh-what’s gonna happen, Kristoff?”
He smoothed her hair back from her face so he could kiss her forehead. “Well. We’re going to figure it out, one day at a time.”
“Sam and Lena are going to have an aneurysm. Like, a joint one.”
“Don’t worry about that right now,” he said softly, although now he was realizing maybe he should worry a little more about it. “Just focus on catching your breath.”
She nodded weakly against his chest, and for several minutes he just held her, letting her work through it all on her own. He had never felt so helpless or so hopeful in his life, and now here he was, both all at once.
“What if I can’t find a dress to fit in?”
“A dress? For what?”
“My wedding dress.”
“Oh! Oh, fuck, I forgot we get to do that too!”
She laughed at that, and though there were still tears coursing down her cheeks he felt himself relax, at least a little. “You’ll be beautiful regardless,” he said, kissing her forehead again. “And anyway, we can do it soon if you want, before we even tell anyone, or later if you’d rather, and then my mom can help you alter the dress and--”
“Oh, god, I’m going to be massive, aren’t I? God, I’m sorry in advance--”
“Don’t even start to think that,” he insisted. “I can’t-- fuck. I can’t wait.”
“For me to look like a whale?”
“To like, be able to see it. Our baby. And feel it kick or whatever and know that soon we can hold it and-- fuck.”
Suddenly Anna wasn’t the only one crying. She sat up to brush her nose over his newly damp cheeks, pressing a kiss in its wake. “I could never do this without you.”
“You won’t have to. Not any of it. I’ll hold your hair back every day and bring you pickles and chocolate and-- and change diapers and fill bottles and everything, Anna, anything you-- or they-- ever need.”
She tightened her arms around him. “You’re gonna be the best dad, Kris. I know it.”
“You say that now, but when I lose all the pacifiers or mix formula wrong or--”
“You’re going to love them, though,” she insisted. “So much.”
He couldn’t help but smile. “I already do.”

I loved Uncle Jack since the Kickstarter... Any headcanons for him? Relationship stuff or even just general stuff if you haven't thought much about it?
((This is one of the clarification instances where I’ll let stuff slide because I don’t want to spoil anything from the main game. I’m going to use the general knowledge of Uncle Jack. That knowledge is that he’s famous and likely branded as the happiest man in Wellington Wells. If you wanted me to say something from the story that might be spoilers, do leave a Spoiler warning like a good citizen))
First Meetings:
You were employed as Jack’s assistant. This was around the time he was first filming new skits for his programs. His fame was growing rapidly even then.
When you first met Jack, he was very friendly and charming to you. Even giving you a kiss on the hand. He never asked much of you and was as polite in person as he was on television.
Soon you weren’t just an assistant to him, because he asked you to do things for him less and wanted you to enjoy things like eating with him. Jack even asked you for new ideas for television segments to suggest to the writers.
So many of his female fans envied you, but never said anything because you were associated with THE Jack Worthing.
Soon, being kind lead to light flirting between you two and he even had a large bouquet of flowers delivered to your office.
Relationships:
No one ever said being the face of town propaganda would be easy. you knew that with the relationship you had with Jack.
You were always worried that he prioritized work over you and that made you sad. For obvious reasons, you couldn’t show it.
One day, when the Joy was wearing off a bit for Jack. Before he could take more, he noticed something wrong with you.
Surprisingly, he put the pill bottle down and held you close.
“Is everything alright, love?” he asked
“I just…feel like we don’t spend much time with each other. You being busy with broadcasts and all. I get a little lonely without you. It feels like with you, I don’t even NEED Joy because I’m always happy. Not that I’m a downer or anything.” you softly replied.
Jack seemed honestly surprised, but thinking over it, you did have a point. He took his mask off and gave you a kiss on the forehead.
“I am terribly sorry, darling. I had no idea that was how you felt. I promise that after today’s program, we will spend the rest of today with each other’s company.” he said in his assuring tone.
This earned him a smile from you and you both took your pill at the same time. Everything felt great, such as Joy does to you.
After that, Jack tried to balance you AND his schedule, while sneakily making more time for you. You couldn’t e happier (No pun intended.)
Of course, being the partner/spouse of Jack Worthing meant you went to pretty fancy places for dinner or even parties.
Even if Jack wasn’t so big in the city of Wellington Wells, he felt like the most important man in the world with you by his side.

Random Larp Prompts
Cal - Sad Armscrew
It wasn’t exactly something you asked about. But she had been expecting the small psyker to make their way back onto the Chaser. Bit naive perhaps, but towards the end they had had a call sign and everything. An’ it was obvious how attached to the XO they were. She thought they might be sticking around a bit. She wouldn’t have admitted to anyone she was disappointed that Mx. Gearwright didn’t come back onboard.
It was back to general security detail now. No making hot chocolates at silly o’clock, sourcing blankets or giving up her bunk. No more scraps with Castranova’s lot, even though they still eyeballed each other every time they passed in a corridor. No more finding them dozing in odd places or scrawling down weird things they said to pass on. No more getting absolutely infuriated when she lost them when they were played hide and seek with that damn skit.
She should have been relieved. It had been an odd job with an even odder charge. There had been no questions invited about where they had gone and honestly, she wasn’t sure she’d understand the answer considering the weird golden bullshit they’d been pulling. Talk on the ship said they were a saint now. Guess it was time to move on.
But she still found herself humming an old Olethran lullaby from time to time.
Lance - Confession
He felt utterly wretched in a way he hadn’t in far, far too long. He could feel it down to his bones, the hurt so acute it almost became physical. He remembered when he used to get like this in the academy, when he would become incapable of anything but feeling this. It had been one of the many factors that had kicked him into addiction. And now he didn’t have that to fall back on. ‘What do normal people do when they get this sad?’
His shoulders shook with the effort of making sure his tears didn’t produce noise. He couldn’t bear the idea of anyone seeing him in such a mess, not when he had spent so many years carefully constructing this image of competence and effortless control. He pressed his knuckles to his mouth, closed his eyes and forced himself to breathe deeply.
“You wasted your years. You failed the God Emperor.”
He knew it to be true and he thought he had forgiven himself. Apparently not. The wound was ripped open and fresh, and the blood was a hundred disappointing memories. Stealing from superiors, constant insolence, neglecting his duties, dousing himself in stimms and sex, every rotten thing he once was and perhaps still is brought to the surface like something dead coming to the surface of a pond.
He had gotten better. He had made himself. It hadn’t been easy. It had been painful and long-winded and some days he wondered why he had even bothered at all. But that wasn’t chronomancy. It didn’t replace what he lost. And now he was wondering if anything ever could make up for that folly or if he was doomed to forever be playing catch up to a self he despised.
He just wanted to be forgiven, to be absolved, to be good. He never would be, due to what he was and what remained. He just had to accept that and hope the Emperor would love him anyway.
Lance - Penance
He sat back on his heels, keeping his eyes perfectly level. In front of him, a portrait of St. Sanguinius staring right back at him with cold eyes like flint. He could feel the blood travelling down his back, sinking to the waistband of his trousers. The individual lashes had ceased to hurt, instead his entire back had formed into a tapestry of aching fire. He did not let his head drop or his eyes water, but even he couldn’t stop the muscle twitches across his shoulders or the tight fists his hands balled into. But his pride allowed him to stay upright, and for that he was thankful.
“Up.” Slowly, he rose from his knees, cursing the slight tremor in his legs betraying the amount of pain he was in. He held his shirt in his hands, unsure of if he was allowed to put it back on yet, or even if he wanted the fabric on his bare wounds. The air was making them sting but the thought of touching them was almost enough to make him retch. Absently, he noted the spray of blood across the marble. He couldn’t quite connect to the idea it was his.
The Commissar looked him up and down, and he wondered how insolent his face was looking. He didn’t mean for it to be arranged that way but he was reliably informed that his intent didn’t particularly matter in that regard.He didn’t have a victim complex but sometimes he really did wonder if he was punished more harshly simply because of the upwards tilt his lips had.
“Report to the medbay. Clean yourself up. If I see you in the next two weeks, I won’t be as gentle.” He managed to curb the urge to laugh, instead he nodded, saluted and left the room, taking a certain amount of grim satisfaction in the knowledge that marble stained.
He was blind to the number of glances and whispers as he walked to the medbay, lost in his own thoughts. He had no sense of shame about his nakedness, nor about his punishment. He hadn’t gotten anyone killed, he hadn’t endangered anything but himself and the Commissar’s ego, so therefore it was fine. He had no guilt and indeed, no intention of not doing it again. Next time he just wouldn’t get caught.
In bed that night though, he began to have second thoughts. Sleeping on his chest was uncomfortable but anything touching his back was utterly unbearable. And there was a small twinge in the bottom of his stomach which was impossible to ignore, the one that felt like his mother’s disapproval. She may not be here, but her morals certainly were and she would be utterly disappointed to find her son’s respect for authority lacking.
But she wasn’t here. Lance told himself, sharply. If she wanted any say in how he acted, she would be here. The absent don’t get opinions and he was choosing to enjoy himself. Maybe if he fucked up badly enough she would return just to lecture him. Maybe.
Lance - MIU
He balanced the mirror between his knees, clamping them tight. His tongue was poking out from between his lips, eyes squinted in concentration. Carefully mounted on a stand next to the mirror was a list of instructions, beautifully inscribed. In his hands were two long, thin, steel tools that were currently pressed deeply into his MIU. Do not try this at home could have been the caption.
There had been a small malfunction, a high tinny whine that he had diagnosed as being caused by a wire snapping. He couldn’t quite tell if the whine was mechanical or biological, but either way, he was confident he could fix it. If he could do it before his superior officer showed up and dragged him to the medbay anyway.
He found it oddly soothing, the knowledge that he could fix himself. He could sew himself up, rewire his nerves, reset his MIU without ever needing the help of anybody else. That sort of self-sufficiency he treasured. And of course he liked altering and working on his own tech, the same way he did any.
His hands were steady as he gently dragged the wire from one side to the other, peeling back the broken plastic covering and snipping it away. Another moment and he added a new line of wiring, wrapping it up safely. One wrong move and he could cause complete neural failure. His mouth twitched in amusement. This was a risk as much as flying was.
He exhaled steadily, removing one tool and picking up the casing from his thigh and easing it into place, the maglock clicking it into place. The screws went in easily, the Castellum design made to be sleek and easy to work with. The casing was a new one - iridescent in most lights, matching the colour of his eyes.
He liked how he looked so much better like this, his skin fused with wires and metal.
“Do You Long For A Friend?” Matthias thoughtfully mulls his Matchmaking Dinner invitation.
It had become a slight running joke within his family. Gentle, loving, but a joke none the less. How much Matthias loved contracts and dating, and went through partners at alarming speeds. It wasn’t that his love or attraction was casual, quite the opposite in fact. He very rarely broke off contacts or was reluctant to renew them. He just tended to become very starry eyed very quickly. He could find something to love in most people, and once he saw it, he wanted them to know it. He was as invested in his feelings as he was about everything else in his life, and as a changeling freeborn, that was rather saying something.
So when the invitation was delivered, there was never going to be any option but yes. Firstly, he enjoyed the decadence of Sarvos immensely and was keen to revisit it. It was a city that knew how to be beautiful. He wanted to visit the theatres and ciscibeo houses, the galleries and operas. He liked travelling, especially if that travelling came with creature comforts.
Secondly, he was rather curious about this particular Carta. He couldn’t make up his mind about them, if they would get along or not. They were beautiful, certainly, but he always felt several steps behind them. And he did not enjoy feeling like he wasn’t the cleverest person in the room.
Thirdly, and this was the crucial point, he wanted to meet more people and maybe more dating partners outside his comfort zone. He liked change, new things, novelty. And most of his beloveds were from the Coast, with the notable exception of his sort of wife and a few other flirtations. Perhaps too, though he would never admit it, he was missing Sol more than he was letting on.
He hated being alone, left with his own thoughts or bored. He was at his happiest when he had proof in front of him he was adored. One of his fathers had tweaked his antler fondly and joked “If a changeling exists and nobody compliments them, do they exist?” Funny, but a little close to the antler.
He would go. He would have fun and laugh and flirt and get complimented, and everything would be wonderful. He’d make sure of it.
The First Day of Spring
There was still a chill in the air, a light frost covering the leaves and grass. Amber liked the cold, the way it felt sharp against her skin and made her feel like she was filled with buzzing energy. She liked it especially first thing in the morning (which was her favourite time anyway), the way it gathered in low mist or made her breath into steam. She sat at the top of a tree, hands firmly on the branch, watching with satisfaction as the sun rose, turning the sky shades of pink.
She might have been imagining it but she was sure she could feel it in the air. The sensation of shaking off, of waking up, of creatures and plants under the earth stirring and reaching for the sun. Soon there would be meadows of snow drops and bluebells, rabbits and lambs raising their young, and she wouldn’t have to crack open ponds first thing in the morning. There would be fresh greenery to bio-engineer into her leg - she tried to keep the flowers and vines that knit together to form something like muscles in season. She liked matching the woods around her.
Slowly, taking time to observe the forest around her, she made her way down the tree and onto the path she had carved out over the last month. She never stayed in one place too long of course, but recently she had found a place that captured her interest, and she wasn’t quite done with exploring it yet.
It was a lighthouse, old by the look of the peeling paint and shattered glass. It certainly didn’t light up anymore. And the sea wasn’t for miles, so who knew why it was even here in the first place. When she had first found it, she had circled it suspiciously for a few weeks, not entirely trusting it not to be a trick. She even tossed a few rocks at the structure, hiding behind a bush and waiting to see if anyone came out of the heavy metal door that was set into the circular wall.
Eventually she decided to risk it. The door was unlocked, much to her surprise. It swung open into a silence the likes of which she had never heard. In the forest, it was never silent. There were always twigs snapping, birds singing, wind rustling leaves. It was an entire tapestry of sound from which you could tell a hundred things, if you knew how to interpret it. Here, nothing moved. The air was still and stale and silent.
It hadn’t changed since that first visit. It wouldn’t have. Inside the first room, there was nothing but a cloak room. If you went through the next door, you were in a room with an iron staircase tracking the side of the wall, curling far upward in an insistent spiral. As she always did, she made her way up, not quite enjoying the ringing sound her footsteps made. She tread gently, but in this place, even her bare feet made an impact.
When you got to the top, you went through another door, and then you were in a control room. Metal counters and panels lined the place, surrounded by windows that allowed you to see for miles around, like a watch tower. None of the panels lit up, the power long since cut. Nature had tried to claim this place once, but found few footholds. There were vines, but withered and dead.
Then the were the skeletons.
The bones were picked clean, only a few scraps of clothing remaining. They were on chairs, one or two on the floor as though they just dropped where they stood. There was no blood, no staining. No clue to what had killed them. Maybe some Combine gas or something similar, maybe poison from being stupid in their scavenging. Their workplace had become their tomb.
Amber wasn’t quite sure why she kept coming back here. She spent a lot of time evading death, so much so that her personality was formed around survival. Here were those that were not so practiced at running. The consequences of getting caught. Static, unflinching. It was the worst nightmare she could think of.
Crouching, she decided she wouldn’t come back here again. Time to move on with the seasons, find somewhere to watch the flowers burst into bloom, somewhere to let the sun touch her skin, shyly, like a first lover. She snapped the finger bone from one of the bodies. It was the most that had happened in this place in years. A reminder, a totem of what happened when you forgot how to be good prey.

Headcanon of the boys when sick? How would they act with an SO taking care of them?
IDOLiSH7
Iori- He’s not the type to usually be taken care of, in fact he takes pride in his great health! So when he does get sick, he is more frustrated since he can’t do anything and feels useless. Giving him lots of love and reassurance that the best thing he can do for everyone is to rest and get better. He actually likes being spoiled so during this time of being taken care of would make him really happy. Finding his s/o SO cute when they are all flustered and worried will make him blush hard (Of course he will just say it’s the fever) =P
Yamato- Yamato loves being taken care of, he tends to be the one always looking out for others, but when it comes to the person he loves he doesn’t mind being the one who is doted on. He can be a little stubborn when it comes to listening and taking his medicine, but instead of a lecture he will do it! Likely he will want his s/o to become his pillow and cuddle with him. Since he gets cold when he sleeps he would love a sexy hot water bottle ;) (might encourage him to get better faster too)
Mitsuki- Mitsuki is the type to be more worried about his s/o worrying over him then of himself. He would be happy seeing them showing how much they care about him, but he wouldn’t want them to push themselves because of him. He would try to smile as much as possible to make sure his s/o smiled too. When being told to rest he would agree, but ask adorably for them to stay by his side, at least until he falls asleep.
Tamaki- This boy as we know loves to be spoiled, and when sick he hates to be left alone. Even when you would have to leave him to use the washroom he will sulk and complain. He doesn’t like medicine but will take it if he is promised some pudding! Giving him lots of plush toys and sweets will make him happy, even if he doesn’t like staying still or sitting. Play with his hair, petting him, holding him close. Things like that make him feel content enough to fall asleep and get some rest. However make sure you are there when he wakes up!
Sogo- Sogo isn’t used to being taken care of, so when he is sick he will still insist that he is okay. Ignoring him of course, he would be happy though. Nervous at first, he is the type who will do what he needs to when it comes to getting better. Though staying by his side will fill him with such warmth that he will no doubt get better. Brush your hand through his hair, hold his hand, tell him that you will never leave him and stay by his side no matter what. He may not say it out loud but he is scared of being left alone.
Nagi- The best thing to do for Nagi when he is sick is stay with him and watch Magical Kokona with him as much as he wants. He is happy to be taken care of, though he would feel guilty for having a lovely lady wait on him. He will want to hold his lover close in his arms, snuggling them through the night. Nagi is usually a ball of energy so he can be a bit dramatic when sick. Best to just play along and promise him as long as he gets better you will do whatever he wants.
Riku- Because of how often Tenn used to look after him, Riku REALLY loves being spoiled and taken care of, especially when sick. It makes him not only feel nostalgic but safe and happy. It’s almost like Tenn is back, although his feelings of love are obviously of a different kind. He would look at you with a gentle smile and flushed cheeks, feeling bliss, even if he is sick, (which we all know he hates) However because he has other health issues that can be effected by even a simple cold, everyone can’t help but worry about him. His s/o taking care of him makes him the happiest out of everyone though!
TRIGGER
Tenn- Since Tenn is a professional he knows that he has to get better as fast possible, so even if he normally would take care of himself, he will make an exception in this case. It does remind him of the time he looked after Riku, because of that he knew what he did for Riku was the right thing. He still has a sharp tongue and will mess with you out of pure amusement. There will be a time when he will pull his s/o close to them and just thank them in a very gentle and sweet tone. (He is rather sweet in situations like this, highly likely he will state he loves you, even if it’s the first time)
Gaku- Even if he normally isn’t the most honest with his feelings, he really will let his s/o know how happy he is they are with them. Honestly watching them being so sweet and loving in regards to him would just make him feel like he’s in a dream like state. His red cheeks might make you think that his fever is getting worse. When going to check his temperature there is an extremely high chance of being pulled down into his arms. Holding you tight, reassuring that his recovery will go by much faster this way!
Ryuunosuke- He would be a little embarrassed and feel guilty having his s/o take care of him, but it would remind him of being with his family. All that would be going through is mind is what a great wife you would make (if you aren’t already) He gets a little dopey when taking medicine, so he will just smile widely and say some sweet romantic things with his heavy Okinawa accent. (Hopefully you know some or you might miss some heart pounding words)
Re:vale
Momo- Momo hates being sick, he gets bored and can’t do anything. While taking care of him his s/o will need to make sure to find ways to make him smile and laugh. Even if sick he will still have enough energy to play around and joke, so making sure he takes it easy will be hard. Snuggling with him is the best way to distract him. Putting on a skit or a show for him would also make him extremely happy. Of course taking care of him makes him happy as is, he will for sure make it up to you by celebrating when he is fully recovered.
Yuki- Yuki definitely needs to be looked after, (he can be rather careless!) He may seem a little apathetic but really he is happy you are there with him.Your presence will speed his recovery along. He might enjoy having his s/o read to him, so he can fall asleep listing to the sound of their voice which he loves. Still loving having his hair played with, running your fingers through his hair will for sure relax him and give him good dreams.

fun fact, the first time I heard the title "Snap Shoot" it was in response to them answering a question "which song did you wish you could perform but didn't get to" and they were like "Snap Shoot" and I thought it had something to do with guns and was another dark rock track but no it's the sunniest happiest song I've ever heard...
lol these days what's been on my mind is how much I like seungkwan as an idol but if we ever met in real life we would NOT get along. sort of the way dino says that in the beginning in trainee days he liked to be independent but sk offers more support and care than he wants/needs...I would get so annoyed too LOL but sk is so lovable as a singer and entertainer...
and let's be honest mingyu IS the most marry-able...like just his cooking skills alone...
for me...uh...I'll kiss sk marry mingyu and kill jun. what i never got about this question was why do you have to kill one of them? lol
as someone who loves games to the moon and back I would give a lot to play a game of mafia with them! it looks so fun and I'm jealous they have a gigantic group of bestfriends to play games with anytime.
ok new questions:
you're forced into a room and locked in and you must binge/re-watch an entire svt related-content before you are let out again. what do you pick between svt project, ofd, ofd 2, every appearance on idol room + knowing bros, or svt club? (let's say that running time is not a factor)
and if you could rewind in time and experience or re-experience any seventeen concert, what would you pick between boys wish, shining diamond, diamond edge, ideal cut, and ode to you?
I got a lot of questions in me today I guess so here's one more: in honor of upcoming caratland, what is your favorite unit reverse stage that they have done in the past? (are you planning to watch caratland?)
Oh really?? Interesting... when did you become a fan of svt then?
Ugh yeah I miss game night with my friends so much... :((( What type of games do you play?
Hmm idol room and knowing bros but with no weekly idol or is that included in idol room lol?? regardless svt club cuz i've been thinking about that one lately kinda wanting to maybe try rewatching it anyways lol.
I got to go to ode to you!! uh and I so wish I had started looking up svt sooner cuz I love the set they did for diamond edge with the colorful prince suits... :(( .... but ideal cut is a close second for man I wish I could've gone the outfits and skits for playing as like their little bongbongie mascots... adorable... and the solos..... ahhhhh..... Ah but the diamond edge regret is deep... I had been listening to them for a few years and just wasn't into kpop at the time though so I never looked them up until right after their tour ended rip me.
hmm cuz I just mentioned it to one of my friends not that long ago we gonna go with when the change up unit switch lol so fun and surprisingly actually pretty good lol and probably won't watch? I would like to I just do not have the timeeee so... (also did not know they had announced it until this ask lmao)
#carat anon 3#ask#i spend way too long answering these asks...#i started and finished my laundry#before i was even done answering this#i got sidetracked watching carat land vids on youtube...

Our story Ch.2
“Are you sure” Simon asked. “Yes at first I thought he looked familiar. But I recognized him. He’s Jt’s friend. He probably sent him here” Paula said.Jt was Paula’s ex boyfriend who Simon knew was terrible to her, but he didn’t know the details. “If he did, he belongs in jail with Jt. come on,if you’re ready to go, you can ride with me back to the hotel” Simon said. “Yes, just let me grab my purse” Paula said as they started to walk out. As they walked out Simon reach for Paula’s hand and she lightly squeezed it.
They reached the hotel after a 10 minute car ride, and as they walked towards the elevators, they were about to go separate ways and say goodbye, Simon stopped her. “Paula? Are you hungry? We could order room service. I know you want to go to your room, but..” he asked. Paula smiled “Yeah, I’am a little. You can come to my room” she said. “I always knew you’d want to get me in your room” Simon teased. Paula playfully slapped his armed and smiled. “More like I always knew you wanted to” she replied. “Whatever makes you feel better darling” he smirked. After they got to Paula’s room and ordered room service, they waited on the couch in the living room area , and watched tv. Paula was leaned over towards Simon and he had his arm around her. They were both comfortable. And just as the movie ended, there was a knock on the door.
“I’ll get it” Simon said, and Paula sat up to let Simon go. He came back with a cart of their food. After they ate, they were watching another movie, not really paying attention, since they were thinking about each other. “Simon” Paula started. “What is it darling” he asked. “Thank you for what you did at auditions, and for coming with me here, and making sure I’m ok. No one has ever done that for me before” she confessed. “Of course I had to make sure my poodle was okay.” He smiled and kissed the top of her head. “Paula, can I ask what happened...with you and JT I mean.” He said. Paula took a deep breath before she started “Well..I thought he loved me...That’s why I blamed myself when he would hit me. At first he only did it when he was mad. But then..it was everyday. I had to cover the bruises up with makeup. When I sprained my arm..that was him, and when I broke my nose and said I fell over my dog...it was Jt.” Paula paused as she felt tears run down her face, and she wiped them away. Simon was shocked that she was admitting all this to him, but she continued “But the worse was when..he ... he would rape me, after, he would..he would punch my stomach and said if I ever got pregnant, he would kill it” She sobbed. Simon was speechless. He caressed the side of her face with the back of his hand, to wipe her tears away,
and she went to him. He held her close as she sobbed into his shirt, rubbing her back. “It’s okay, I’m here darling, I’m so sorry that happened” he said calmly. “I had no idea he was that evil. I just wish I was there...I could have done something...”His voice cracked, as he fought back his own tears. He couldn’t even think about that happening to Paula, who was so loving and caring herself. It also wasn’t fair that she is very petite, and any man could easily take advantage of her like that. “I never talked about it before, no one knows” Paula said as she tried to stop crying long enough to talk. “And it’s not your fault Simon, don’t blame yourself” she said as she wiped her tears away. Simon looked at her in disbelief. Here she was trying to make him feel better, after she told him her most personal story. He thought that made her even more beautiful. He couldn’t hold in what he had to say to her any longer. He had been looking for the right time to tell her how he felt and after today he was sure it was the right time. “Paula...I have to tell you something.” He said as he wiped away a few tears that escaped. “I had something planned for this, but..after today...” He began. “Ive never felt as close to anyone as I do to you. You’ve changed my view on so many things and taught me how to be a better person, you’ve brought so much happiness in to my life, and I couldn’t imagine it without you any longer. I’m in love with you. You really are my soul mate.” he said. Paula started crying the happiest tears she remembered ever crying, and quickly wiped them away as reality set in. She was so much in love with Simon, but she knew there were things she wanted, and he didn’t. She also knew the alternative if she said no, and that would be a life without him. But she knew she would always choose him. “Simon...I’ve never felt as loved as I do when I’m with you. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted in my life, from the the way you make me feel at peace, to the way you love me, Im in love with you too” she said as she cupped his cheek with her hand, and looked into his eyes. Simon leaned in and their lips gently touched. Paula slowly started to kiss him back, and he slid his tongue into her mouth, deepening the kiss. It turned in to a slow, passionate kiss. Their first real kiss, not for a skit for the show this time. Paula slowly pulled away after a few minutes. “I always said you were a great kisser, but my god” Simon said. “It was okay, I guess” Paula giggled as she gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. “Paula I understand if you still want to go home tomorrow after what happened, but do you want to stay here with me for a few days?” He asked. “I would love to, I haven’t had a chance to go anywhere yet” she said. About an hour later, Paula fell asleep on the couch after taking a shower
