Sonic Timeline (2/3)

Disclaimer: I know it’s ugly. We can worry about yassification after I’ve posted it all and pull out the yarn and notes and such. Beauty is a process.

+ - Details missing for the sake of condensing, probably best to read those links I so politely left for you :)

** - Not considered canon, but if you manage to fit it into a timeline, you’re guaranteed to become sexy

“...” / ‘...’ - Quoted directly from EncycloSpeedia or the Wiki or the Sonic Fandom wiki, one of those.

2000’s :D

+*(?)*Sonic Shuffle (NOV. 2000) – Party Game!!! Strangely laden with a good amount of lore, but it’s never used in any of the games moving forward. There’s no way to condense it w/o confusing the both of us so I’ll leave this here (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Shuffle#Plot)

Sonic Adventure 2 (JUNE ’01) – lmaooo nah, now I KNOW you got this one. Very lore heavy, but you knew that already.

Adventure 2 Battle (FEB. ’02) - ^^^^

+Advance (FEB. ’02) – 6 Zones, 7 Special Stages; Eggman wants to use the emeralds to power his robot army, Sonic and team work together to stop him. Sonic goes super to save the day. Pretty straightforward, but for details (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Advance#Plot){also! this was released a day after my bday :)}

+Advance 2 (MAR. ’03) – 7 Zones, 7 Special Stages; Undefined Island where Eggman is kidnapping animals for his empire, but also kidnapped Tails and Knuckles as well. Sonic goes to rescue them and the animals, and meets Cream the Rabbit who is trying to find her mom, Vanilla. Sonic rescues Tails and Knuckles, but Knuckles is fooled by Eggman, again, to stop Sonic. Sonic wins, and they get to Eggman’s Egg Utopia space station, destroys it by going Super Sonic, and saves Vanilla. (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Advance_2#Plot) {Introduced Cream the Rabbit and her mother Vanilla! Considered one of the ‘hardest games in the entire series’ by GameSpot a month after its release bc of the boss battles and the need to find seven special rings scattered throughout each level just to get a single shot at a special stage (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/sonic-advance-2-review/1900-6024682/)}

Sonic Pinball Party (JUNE ’03) -

Heroes (JAN. ’04) – 15 Stages, 4 Teams (Easy: Rose, Med. Diff: Sonic, Med. Diff: Chaotix, Hard: Dark); Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles get a letter from Eggman that says in three days, he will launch his Egg Fleet to take over the world. Rouge breaks into Eggman’s base, finds Shadow in stasis and E-123 Omega, and work together to find answers (Shadow, regarding his past) and get revenge (Omega, bc he was locked away). Amy helps Big find Froggy and Cream find her chao, Chocola, while also looking for Sonic. The Chaotix get an offer from a ‘mysterious client,’ and have to go through a series of task to ‘prove themselves.’ The teams cross paths here and there. Rouge finds out about the Shadow androids, wonders if Shadow is an android as well considering where she found him. Chaotix find out that the mystery client is Eggman himself, who needs rescuing bc he was ‘locked up and betrayed by Metal Sonic,’ who now goes by Neo Metal Sonic. NMS takes over the fleet and such to prove he’s the superior Sonic, transforms into Metal Overlord, and is defeated by Super Sonic (and technically Super Tails and Super Knuckles, but they get Super shields and not a Super form :/) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_Heroes#cite_note-igngc-5) {First multi-platform game! Bittersweet :’)}

+Sonic Battle (JAN. ’04) – 12(?) Arenas, 6 Hub Maps; Pretty lore heavy, too much to be simplified w/o missing smth important tbh (here you go: https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Battle#Plot)

Advance 3 (JUNE ’04) – 9 Stages, 7 Special Stages; Also pretty lore heavy bc it’s based on the events of Sonic Battle (Eggman uses leftover data from Emerl to create Gemerl. I’M SORRY (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Advance_3#Plot))

Rush (NOV. 15, ’05) – 9 Zones Total, 7 Special Stages; Blaze is pulled from her dimension into Sonic’s world, finds out the Sol Emeralds have been stolen by Eggman, and plans to get them back to return to her world with the help of Cream, whom she meets during her search. Meanwhile, Sonic and Tails are searching for the Chaos Emeralds (stolen by Eggman Nega, the Eggman from Blaze’s world). Sonic and Blaze briefly cross paths, but Blaze is too busy finding the rest of the Sol Emeralds for a proper introduction. Sonic and Tails decide to search for Blaze after Tails ‘learns that the two dimensions are merging somehow.’ (Both worlds will collapse if this happens.) Sonic and Blaze finally meet, but Blaze refuses to ask for help on her search for the Sol Emeralds, she leaves with Cream, Sonic and Tails follow, and they all end up at Eggman Nega’s base. Eggman and Nega are working together to collect both sets of emeralds, Blaze and Sonic fight bc she ‘declares that she is the only one who can save their worlds, without any help.’ When Sonic wins, Blaze ‘realizes the error of her ways.’ Eggman kidnaps Cream, and Blaze goes after him while Sonic goes after Nega. Blaze fails to prevent Eggman and Nega from ‘draining the Sol Emeralds power for their Egg Salamander mech. The ‘true meaning of friendship’ Blaze learns from Sonic and team ‘restores the Sol Emeralds,’ allowing Super Sonic and Burning Blaze to destroy Egg Salamander and save their dimensions. Blaze goes back to her dimension and Sonic assures a saddened Cream that she’ll return someday. {Blaze Introduction! And also Eggman Nega too ig… DYK that Rush was released literally the same day as shth??! :0 wild.}

Shadow the Hedgehog (NOV. ’05) - … 7 Stages. 326 Possible Paths that all have their own unique name. 10 Possible Endings, see all 10 and you get the True Ending… :); Shadow’s wants to find answers about his past, gets teased information from Black Doom (leader of an alien species, called the Black Arms, that hail from the Black Comet) that he knows about his past and can give him answers with the small price of the chaos emeralds (Doom wants the Emeralds to ensure his conquest on the world). The player is able to have Shadow go literally any route possible; eventually though after all the shenanigans, Shadow finds out that his creator, Gerald Robotnik, made a ‘devil’s bargain’ with Black Doom in order to create him (pretty much finds out he has Black Doom’s DNA in him). Shadow finds out he was made by Gerald to ‘be the world’s protector,’ so armed with the answers of his past, destroys the Black Comet, and also learns from Eggman that he actually isn’t an android or a fake (smth Shadow starts to believe after finding Shadow Androids in this game and in Heroes), but is the real Shadow, saved by one of Eggman’s robots after SA2. After saving the world, Shadow ‘resolves to move on from his past, and forge his own identity,’ his final words of the game being “Goodbye forever, Shadow the Hedgehog.” (x: https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_the_Hedgehog_(game)#Plot) {I was so overwhelmed with the routes in this game that I’ve yet to even get halfway through lmaooo, also playing this on ps2 is a task… or maybe it’s just a skill issue on my part hehe}

Sonic Riders (FEB. ’06) – “Eggman is out to unearth the secrets of the ancient Babylonians and theo long lost city of Babylon Garden. To do so he baits two factions into his EX World Grand Prix race with an entry fee of one Chaos Emerald apiece. The first group is Sonic and his friends, who are out to uncover Dr. Eggman’s plan and put a stop to it. The other is the Babylon Rogues, notorious thieves led by Jet. Jet is seeking his ancestral hidden treasures himself and holds the key to finding it.” - EncycloSpeedia {Introduces a good amount of new lore. I would read up on it for details} (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Riders#Plot) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_Riders)

++Sonic the Hedgehog (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(2006)#Plot) (AKA Sonic 06, NOV. 14, ’06) – 11(?) Stages Total; Ten years ago, Duke of Soleanna tries to bring his wife back from the dead by using time travel via the ‘powers of the fire god Solaris,’ but instead ends up splitting the god in two (Iblis and Mephiles). Shadow and Silver (here bc of time travel via chaos emeralds) seals Mephiles into the Scepter of Darkness while the Duke seals Iblis into his daughter, Princess Elise, who can no longer cry or Iblis will be unleashed. Fast forward to the present, where Eggman attempts to kidnap her to find out the ‘secrets of the Flames of Disaster’(and succeeds like twice later on, Sonic has to rescue her each time). Shadow and Rouge accidently break the Scepter of Darkness, Mephiles takes the form of Shadow’s shadow and goes off to reunite with Iblis. Silver and Blaze (um. They don’t explain how this is possible ingame, so… don’t ask ig), are convinced by a time jumping Mephiles that Sonic is the ‘Iblis Trigger,’ and so they are on the hunt to ensure a better future. Shadow finds out what Mephiles’ intentions are after a confrontation with him, stops Silver from fighting Sonic and reveals to him what Mephiles plans to do (Re: The beginning of this summary). While Silver is learning the truth, Present Mephiles murders Sonic in front of Elise, causing her to cry and unleash Iblis. Mephiles and Iblish merge into Solaris through the power of the chaos emeralds, and attempt to ‘consume time itself.’ Sonic’s friends come together and search for the chaos emeralds (they’re scattered throughout time and space), using the Emeralds power (and, yes, Elise’s true love kiss, shut it—), Sonic is revived as Super Sonic. Super Sonic shares his power with Shadow and Silver, and the trio defeat Solaris while looking badass. ‘As time resets, Sonic and Elise find themselves in the Soleanna labs before the Duke’ started the entire mess. Together, they ‘extinguish Solaris’s flame, removing the god from existence and preventing the events from ever occurring.’ {There’s been speculation on whether Sonic and Elise actually remember any of the events… and to this I present you the same question you asked before: ‘wtf is Blaze doing here.’ The answer is technically unknown, and unanswered through the games… Despite callbacks to its existence from the likes of Generations and I think one of the more recent Sonic racing games. ALSO, okay, the boss battle goes hard, I remember getting chills and being in awe my first playthrough, despite how bad the controls were and how I barely beat Solaris, and if you played the entire thing blind, you would agree with the fun aspect. Super Shadow and Super Silver movesets go fkn hard, SEGA bring the Super GOATS back PLEASE… anyways. Playable Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Omega, and Blaze! Game plays a little like the adventure games in the way that there are hub worlds and that you play different characters. An ambitious story and notorious for its reputation. My beloved doesn’t deserve to get shit on TO THIS DAY.}

++Sonic Rivals (NOV. 21, ’06) – 6 Zones; … oh boy, there’s actually a good amount of lore, but I’ll try my best to condense fhckds (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Rivals#Plot) Eggman Nega returns from the future on Onyx Island, the future incarnation of Angel Island. He uses a powerful futturetech camera to transform people and the Master Emerald into cards. He does this disguised as Dr. Eggman in an attempt to rewrite history and ensure the name “Eggman” lives on in glory rather than infamy. Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, and Silver each unwittingly get” involved. “Soinc seeks to rescue his captured friends, Knuckles looks to retrieve the Master Emerald, Shadow investigates the discrepancies surrounding “Dr. Eggman” and Silver hunts down Eggman Nega. Despite clashind over the course of the adventure, the rivals succeed in collectively saving the day and defeating Eggman Nega’s ambitions.” – EncyloSpeedia {Listen there’s actually a good amount of detail/lore in this game, Knuckles finds out that Onyx Island is actually Angel Island but in the future, Silver knows of the camera, states it’s from his time and is determined to bring it back to future (lol) and keep Eggman Nega from being a menace (he also kinda learns about not having to carry the future’s burdens on his shoulders, and ends up going back to his time after all is said and done, respecting that Sonic and Shadow are able to keep the present in good order (he was also pretty rude and cocky in this game lol good for him)). Shadow shows up bc he received a message and is about to leave bc none of it really concerns him until Rouge prompts him to keep going bc she has intel or smth that Eggman is up to no good; needless to say, Shadow presses on through all the racing shenanigans, finds out its Eggman Nega, frees Rouge, and refuses to help any further, choosing instead to leave the island (lol).}{First sonic game I’ve ever 100%, very cash money of… 7?? year old me B)}

**Mario & Sonic: Beijing Olympic Games (NOV. 6, ’07) – No plot that I can see lmaoo, apparently this first Mario & Sonic game was considered an April Fools’ joke when it was revealed March 28th, 2007. And when Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that he’d be supervising the project, I assume ppl went nuts. Ofc the critics were rating it around like a 7/10 and under, but to the casuals and ‘social gamers’ (idk) it was a “commercial success,” and was listed in the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2010 as the “Best-selling gaming character cross-over,” with “7.09 million on Wii and 4.22 million copies on DS sold.” We love to see our kings winning. Reminds you of another, more recent banger initially thought to be a April Fools’ joke, hmm? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_%26_Sonic_at_the_Olympic_Games)

Sonic Rivals 2 (NOV. 13, ’07) – 6 Zones; {(https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Rivals_2#Plot) there are a few minor details missing but yk what to do ^^^} Sonic and Tails are looking to get the stolen chao back after finding out they were captured by Eggman and ‘concealed… inside a haunted mansion.’ Silver and Espio have a rough start bc Silver comes from the future, bc his world is ruined by the Ifrit (an interdimensional beast who, in Silver’s future, was fed chao and became invincible), and searches for and hides the chao to keep his future and the chao safe; Espio gets the wrong idea bc he’s looking for the missing chao, but they eventually join forces to keep them safe (Silver is also curt and kinda rude in this game lol, again, good for him). Shadow ends up on the scene in a similar way to the first game, but this time he’s contacted via Metal Sonic by Eggman, and told that the true bad guy is Eggman Nega (again). Nega learned about the Ifrit by accessing Gerald Robotnik’s journals {it always come back to the king} and hired Rouge to help obtain the chaos emeralds. Shadow and Metal Sonic (who already has one stashed in his chassis) are tasked by Eggman (regular) to get the rest of the chaos emeralds before Nega and Rouge. Nega eventually succeeds in opening the portal to Ifrit’s dimension and ‘dispatches… “Metal Sonic 3.0” to awaken the Ifrit.’ The Ifrit possesses sonic and co. one at a time, and the world is saved when they beat the Ifrit.

Sonic and the Secret Rings (FEB. ’07) – Sonic is awoken by Genie of the Ring, Shahra, who needs help when Erazor Djinn is erasing the pages of Arabian Nights. He puts on the ring Shahra came out of, uses a wish to enter the book, gets shot by Djinn with an arrow called the Flame of Judgement that will continue to drain Sonic’s life force until he dies unless he brings Djinn the World Rings. Shahra, in love with Erazor and his accomplice, helps Sonic find the rings, but comes to respect Sonic and his good nature, leading her to take a killing blow for Sonic, saving him from Erazor. She dies in Sonic’s arms, Erazor ‘mutates into the monstruous Alf Layla wa-Layla, intent on remaking Arabian Nights in his image before moving on to Sonic’s world.’ Sonic, still distraught about Shahra’s death, absorbs the Rings of Sadness, Rage and Hatred during his grief and transforms into Darkspine Sonic, ‘a darker, more violent version of Super Sonic. After defeating Erazor, he uses Erazor’s lamp to wish Shahra back to life, restore the Arabian Nights back to its original state, and ‘be trapped in his lamp for all eternity.’ Shahra is brought back in time to see Erazor’s fate, refusing to help him when he pleads her for help, and cries when all is over. ‘Sonic wishes for a mountain of handkerchiefs to help her through her crying,’ ‘disposes of the lamp in a pit of lava,’ and runs through the book to find a way back home and succeeds.( https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_and_the_Secret_Rings#Plot) {Notorious for the bad controlling on the Wii-mote lol, and also looks like painful fun, my favorite genre for sonic games :), I’ve always wanted to play the storybook games :(}

Rush Adventure (SEPT. ’07) – 7 Stages, 16 Hidden Islands; Sonic and Tails are caught in a storm and wake up stranded on an island. Marine the Raccoon finds them and together they try to find answers to where they are and why. They run into a robot named Johnny, who believes he’s the fastest, and Sonic races against him to obtain the 7 chaos emeralds. Soon, the trio make it to Coral Cave and encounter Captain Whiskers and his henchmen Mini & Mum, who are attempting to steal the Jeweled Scepter. Blaze arrives and tries to stop him, but is surprised to see Sonic. Captain Whiskers uses this opportunity to send a robot called Ghost Kraken after them, and he manages to escape with the scepter. Blaze and Sonic ask each other what they’re doing there, and Sonic and Tails both realize that the storm they were caught in managed to send them to Blaze’s dimension. They search for the scepter, with the help of Tails newly created radar, fight off Whisker’s robot, Ghost Pirate, help a group of Vikings by unfreezing them (Vikings were frozen by Whisker and his Ghost Whale), and finally get directions to where the pirates might be. Sonic, Tails, Marine, and Blaze ‘reach a floating island called Sky Babylon,’ confront Whiskers again, but he manages to escape, again. This time though, an ancient monument Whiskers ‘intended to destroy details the location to the pirates’ hideout. Marine is told to stay put while Sonic, Tails, and Blaze battle it out with the pirates, but she wants to help and ends up getting captured by Whisker, but also manages to take the Jeweled Scepter while on the ship. An earthquake erupts, and Sonic and team ‘discover that Eggman and Eggman Nega were the ones responsible for’ everything that’s happened (they had Whiskers and the pirates working for them). Both Eggman and Nega take the scepter and reveal its power, called the “Power of the Stars” (Power of the Stars ‘is the energy that ensures the existence of parallel dimensions within the multiverse). Sonic and Blaze use the chaos emeralds to go Super Sonic and Burning Blaze and defeat the two doctors and their mech, Egg Wizard. After everything, Sonic and Blaze find out that the emeralds ‘brought them together’ and ‘did not threaten to destroy both worlds’ (Re: Sonic Rush), implying that the Chaos Emeralds are sentient. Sonic and Tails bid farewell to Blaze and Marine, and in the ‘post-credits scene, [Marine] returns to Southern Island and watches the sunrise with Blaze.’(https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Rush_Adventure#Plot){Marine introduction! Also! Huge moment for the Chaos Emeralds here… HMMMMM}

**Super Smash Bros. Brawl (OCT. ’07) – LMAOO don’t do this to me. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl#Plot) (https://wii.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl)

Riders: Zero Gravity (JAN. ’08) – Sequel to Sonic Riders. “It all begins with a mysterious meteor shower. Instead of bits of space rock, the ancient Arks of the Cosmos come raining down on the world. Tails recovers one to show it to Sonic, while another crashes into one of Eggman’s newest robots: SCR-HD. Jet finds another, but this one is hidden within ancient Babylonian ruins. The hunt for the Arks and the truth of their origin leads Team Heroes and Team Babylon into another series of races as the robots of MeteorTech run amok. Eggman’s dubious startup company aims to harness the power of the Arks, but their power roves too chaotic. The rivals unite in the end to defeat a Master Core: ABIS SCR-HD, corrupted by the power of the Arks. The Arks are returned to Babylon garden, which ascends to orbit” - EncycloSpeedia {Again, a good amount of new lore, it’ll be easier to just link you sorry chief (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_Riders:_Zero_Gravity)(https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Riders:_Zero_Gravity#Plot)

SONIC UNLEASHED (NOV. ’08) – My beloved. 9 Continents(? Technically they’re just pieces of land, ill link the map (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Time_of_awakening) 18 Stages; Sonic is doing his thing solo in space, stopping Eggman from world domination and such, goes super and corners Eggman. Eggman tricks Super Sonic into his latest device, draining his power (and technically the power of the Chaos Emeralds) to awaken ‘the primordial destroyer god Dark Gaia.’ However, Dark Gaia is ‘too weak to maintain its form and disintegrates’ into a dark mist that covers the globe. Sonic, affected by the Dark Gaia’s power, is transformed into the Werehog, and Eggman drops Sonic out of his space station (? Idk if there’s a name for the spaceship he’s on… hm). Sonic (werehog) lands onto the planet, with the drained emeralds, and meets Chip, who has amnesia. The sun rises, and he goes back to his regular Sonic look. Sonic and Chip travel the world for answers about Sonic’s werehog form and Chip’s past, while also piecing the world together by regaining the power of the Emeralds through the use of Gaia Temples found all over the globe. With the help of Tails and Professor Pickle, they find out that Sonic’s werehog form is bc of Dark Gaia, and that he’s able to keep his usual personality bc of his ‘pure and noble spirit.’ {King shit} Chip remembers who he is, Light Gaia, and explains to Sonic that he’s ‘fated to do battle with his dark antithesis and be sealed away with it in an ancient cycle of rebirth.’ They work together to defeat Dark Gaia, and Chip is sealed with his counterpart, bidding goodbye to Sonic. :( {Werehog introduction! Win! Also, I’m pretty sure this was Orbot’s prototype?? We’d be seeing the actual Orbot and Cubot make their official debuts later on. DYK that there are a bunch of differences between ps3 and ps2 sonic unleashed?? I’m pretty sure the story is the same but yeah, the ps3 and xbox 360 had completely different hub worlds, stages, and bosses. Pretty neat :)}

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (SEPT. ’08) – “A joint effort between Sonic, his friends, and GUN appears to have defeated Eggman once and for all. Our heroes’ happily ever after is rudely interrupted when the villainous Marauders arrive to steal the Master Emerald and kidnap Knuckles. Sonic gathers his frineds in an ever-escalating battle as a deepening mystery unfolds. Among the many revelations is that the marauders are the enduring members of the Noctorus clan, an advanced echidna civilization that once warred with Knuckles’ ancestors. They were transported to an alternat dimension called the Twilight Cage, where they conquered the other local races and prepared to invade their home dimension. Sonic and his friends brave the unknown, shatter the Maruaders’ empire, and defeat their leader before returning home—to a world that’s been conquered by Dr. Eggman.” – Encyclo-Speedia {I’d still hit the books for this one tbh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_Chronicles:_The_Dark_Brotherhood) (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Chronicles:_The_Dark_Brotherhood#Plot)

Sonic and the Black Knight (MAR. ’09) - …I have a feeling you don’t need me to sum this one up… anyways. Sonic is called into the legend of King Arthur by the granddaughter of Merlin, who is running away from a black knight (Merlina calls them King Arthur). Sonic goes to defeat him with the help of the ‘talking sword Caliburn.’ Caliburn steers Sonic to the Lady of the Lake, Nimue (who looks like Amy), who sends him on a quest to see if he’s worthy (she was the one who granted King Arthur immortality via Excalibur’s scabbard). After the tasks, she tells him to ‘collect the sacred swords’ of the Knights of the Round Table (Lancelot, Gawain, and Percival, Shadow, Knuckles, and Blaze respectively), “to dispel the immortality granted by Excalibur’s scabbard.” Sonic defeats the King, takes the scabbard to Merlina, and finds out she manipulated Sonic ‘in order to claim Excalibur’s scabbard as her own.’ Merlina plans to use its power to make the kingdom changeless,’ to ‘keep the kingdom’s fate from the legends.’ Merlina casts the Dark Hollow, which Sonic and the Knights use their swords to form a barrier to keep the Hollow from spreading. Sonic confronts Merlina, who becomes the Dark Queen and destroys Caliburn, uses the power of the Knights swords to restore Caliburn, who is revealed to be ‘the true Excalibur.’ Sonic transforms into ‘an armored super form called Excaliber Sonic,’ saves the day, and says to Merlina “every world has its end. I know that’s kinda sad, but that’s why we have to life live to its fullest in the time that we have,” or smth like that I totally don’t have his monologue memorized or anything lmaoooooo. Sonic is revealed to be the true king Arthur and the game ends with his own retelling of his adventures to Amy, who doesn’t believe him.

**Mario & Sonic: Vancouver Olympic Winter Games (OCT. ’09) – No plot? I’m pretty sure we get actual mario & sonic lore soon, but I have no idea which one it is…. Maybe the one in 2020??

NSFW Alphabet

ft. technoblade

concept: a collection of my own personal nsfw headcanons for techno, one for each letter of the alphabet

@saturnsstufff ‘s discord saw it first ;)

A = Aftercare

I like the idea that techno actually gets very clingy after sex. He’ll get up and grab a glass of water or a towel if either of you need it, but if he’s able to, he’ll stay glued to your side the whole time. Even if he won’t admit it, he needs to have that intimacy after sex. He loves the feeling of your body pressed against his as you both cool down. Usually, his hands will be absentmindedly drawing patterns over your skin

B = Body part

Kind of an oddly specific one, but he loves your shoulders. He loves to casually rest his chin on them as he holds you from behind, and bury his face in the crook of your neck as he presses heated kisses on your pulse point. He also considers the way a person carries their shoulders to be an indication of their strength, and how could he see anything but strength in you.

He hadn’t put much thought into his own body before meeting you. He’s learned to love parts of himself because of you. Particularly his scars. They way you gently run your fingers across the rough surface of them, in both intimate and casual settings, made him crave the touch. Now when he looks at them, he thinks of your hands moving across his skin

C = Cum

Fun fact: pigs have 30 minute orgasms

Early on in your sexual relationship, he was very embarrassed by just how much of it there always was. But once you started praising him for it, that became a very different story. He started to take pride in how well he could completely fill you up without even trying

D = Dirty Secret

He would probably never admit it to you, but it’s become a habit of his to think about the last time he had sex with you during battles. He starts to make sure you two always have sex the night before a big fight, so his mind can wander back to it during the haze of battle. He’s not sure if it’s a coping mechanism or what but it certainly helps

E = Experience

You are his first ever sexual partner, but somehow he just.... already knows what he’s doing?? He’s very nervous and considerate the first time, but he does everything perfectly. Once you tell him that, he’s very happy and secretly a bit proud of himself

F = Favourite Position

He loooves to have you in his lap. Either facing him, back to chest, it doesn’t matter. He’ll do everything with you in his lap. Cockwarming, fingering, thigh riding, anything you and him are physically able to do in that position

G = Goofy

He’s usually a bit more on the serious side. Sometimes the two of you will quip at each other during foreplay, but once he gets going, it’s all business. In the moment, he likes to treat is as something special (doesn’t mean he won’t tease you about things after the fact)

H = Hair

He likes to keep himself clean-shaven most of the time. When he’s relaxed and doesn’t have to go to any public events for a long period of time, he’ll let a small amount of stubble grow on his chin. You can always tell when he slacks off on it, cause the stubble on his face brushes roughly against your skin as he kisses down your body...

he doesn’t really shave much below the neck, but he keeps it clean and trims occasionally

I = Intimacy

He’s surprisingly romantic when he wants to be. It’s definitely a side of him only you’re allowed to see. Alone together in his bed, he’ll whisper sweet nothings to you as he slowly draws you to your climax. Even when he’s speaking the most lewd and naughty things to you, he somehow makes them sound affectionate and full of love

J = Jack Off

He loves to watch you masturbate. The first time was a complete accident. He came home late one night to find you curled up with his blankets, breathing heavily as you massaged yourself over your underwear. It wasn’t long before you noticed him in the doorway and jumped, worthlessly attempting to hide what you were doing. He wasn’t sure if it was the blush on your face or the fact that the blanket you chose to cover yourself in was his cape but something urged him to sit on the edge of the bed, still in his armor, and ask you to continue. It was beautiful to simply sit there and watch

K = Kink

He’s a little bit possessive. He loves to mark you in subtle ways so you always remember that you’re his. Especially if you’re going on a trip without him. He’ll drape you in gold jewelry and leave a hickey just out of sight on your neck for good measure. The part that he loves the most about it though, is that you know exactly what he’s doing and show off his signs of possession with pride

L = Location

He prefers to keep most of your sexual acts to the area in and around his cottage. Other than in bed, he loves to press you up against a wall. Sometimes you two get distracted while tending to the farms and end up heatedly making out in the snow. One time, you decide you wanted to lay out some blankets on the floor and do it right in front of the fireplace. He adored the way the firelight danced across your skin. (He’s thought about taking you down to the syndicate room and laying you out across the table. But he came to the unfortunate conclusion that during meetings, he’d never be able to look anyone straight in the eyes ever again. So he’s shelved that idea for the time being. Maybe once the group has disbanded...)

M = Motivation

He loves to be praised by you. During regular day-to-day life, he doesn’t like to accept any compliments from you, usually just brushing them off or responding with a joke. But when you two are alone together and intimate, he drinks that shit up. How can he not believe it when you look up and him with lidded eyes and tell him just how good he makes you feel. Just moaning against his lips as he kisses you is enough to keep him going for a while

N = NO

He will never do anything that involves seeing your own blood. It sets off the voices too much. One day, you randomly got a nosebleed while cooking dinner together. He could smell it before he even saw it. When the voices recognized the deep red color dripping down your face, they wouldn’t stop chanting. He tried to help you clean up, but it became too much to ignore. He had to go out back and slaughter at least a dozen zombies before they shut up. And even then, he was left with a pounding headache. You were extra gentle and sweet with him when you cuddled up in bed together that night

O = Oral

If you’re on the receiving end, be prepared for him to be down there a looooong time. Once he gets his mouth on you, it’s hard for him to pull away. He loves your smell and taste too much. He tries not to get too carried away, but there was one time he made you come 5 times in a row with just his mouth. He was very thorough with his aftercare that night.

He isn’t the one receiving very often. He only really likes it when he’s tired. He loves to sit back in a chair and watch you gently suck him of on your knees in front of him, one hand gently weaving it’s way through your hair

P = Pace

I always imagine him on the slower side. He likes to savor every moment, making sure that every thrust or movement of his hand is intentional and perfectly placed. He takes time to watch you carefully to make sure you’re getting exactly what you need. He’ll go harder before he goes faster

Q = Quickie

As much as he loves to treasure your intimate time together, there are times where he just needs it. Every once and awhile, he’ll be desperate for it and quickly have you against the wall before heading out to run some errands. Sometimes he’ll pull you in, make you cum, and head out the door without saying a single word. He usually feels the need to make up for it when he returns, but you’ve assured him many times that you love sex with him at any pace

R = Risk

Since he’s still fairly inexperienced despite his skills, he’s not super adventurous himself. More often than not, you’re the one bringing new ideas to the relationship. He’s willing to try the new things you suggest. You’ve had a discussion about your limits, and you both understand what goes too far for each other

S = Stamina

He can go multiple times in a row if he wants to, and for a long time. He lowkey loves it when you tire out before him, and you let him keep going while you lie there sleepily in his arms

T = Toy

He doesn’t own any sex toys, but he likes to make sex toys out of everyday objects (as long as they’re safe and properly cleaned of course). He likes the idea of never being able to look at that object the same way again, especially if it’s something either of you use around the house frequently. He would get his hands on some actual toys if you wanted him to. If toys are involved, he prefers them to be used on you, not on him

U = Unfair

He likes to randomly tease you during moments that are absolutely not sexual. Maybe you’re brushing out his hair, complaining about the knots in it. He’ll suddenly respond with “that’s not what you told me in the bedroom last night” leaving you to sit there in shock while he laughs. Or he’ll quote things you said to him during sex completely deadpan and watch as the blush rises to your cheeks

V = Volume

He’s not extremely loud. When he is loud though, he growls. You’ll be able to feels his chest vibrating when you lean into him. Sometimes you can even feel the vibrations through his lips as he pleasures you with his mouth, which is an absolutely crazy and wonderful feeling.

During very domestic moments, he likes to talk a lot during sex. If he comes home from working all day, and he’s missing you greatly, he loves to tell you all about his day while his cock gently rocks inside of you

W = Wild Card

This part is definitely just gonna be me fulfilling one of my personal kinks, but I love the idea of techno going through a heat since he’s part piglin. Maybe it only happens like once a year, but when it’s that time, his senses are kicked into high gear and he’s desperate for you. The two of you have a routine for it by now. You prepare the bedroom by gathering every blanket in the house, and prepping a week’s worth of food & water that can be eaten quickly during the moments when techno’s haze of arousal drops. Once he feels it start to set in, he locks the bedroom door and allows his senses to become completely enveloped by you

X = X-Ray

I like to believe that a lot of the hybrid races are PACKING. It’s one of the many things he’s nervous about on your first time, but seeing the way your able to take him so well every time is such a turn on

Y = Yearning

Both you and him can be too tired to have sex at times, but if he’s able to have you, he’ll take everything he can get. He loves to take care of you if you’ve had a long day, and he knows you’ll do the same for him

Z = ZZZ

If it’s nighttime sex, he can pass out as soon as aftercare is over. But if it’s morning or midday, he can have sex and go about the rest of his day no problem. Since his orgasms are so long, he likes to make you cum more often than he does, and watching you cum invigorates him

Hiiiii!! I was wondering if you could do a one shot/blurb/head cannon were the reader is Peter Parker’s younger sister and they’re at the beach with all the avengers and she gets sunburn and Peter being the overprotective, dorky brother he is starts panicking and if you don’t mind, could you add the dialogue “But I don’t usually get sunburn”. Thanks a bunch love ❤️🥰🥰

Notes: I’d like to thank @alexandriagrindlewald for the suggestion! I hope you enjoy it.

I don’t own any of the pictures/gifs used.

Warnings: Unedited, dorky Peter, spelling/grammatical errors, poorly written? probably, anything else I missed

Masterlist: Click Here & Here

Word Count: 508 (give or take)

Ah yes

A beach day

On the hottest day of the year

But it makes sense right?

Hot day = beach

Your older brother Peter invited you to join him and the avengers on their beach day, and you excitedly said yes

Who wouldn’t want to spend a day with earth’s mightiest heroes?

A n y w a y

So peter decided he’d just have you lather yourself in sunblock, two different types just to be safe, so you don’t cook once you step outside

Even though you’ve never been sunburnt before

Peter is just overprotective 🤷🏻‍♂️

The ride to the beach was nice

You talked to Tony, the very man who took your big brother under his wing

And the very man your big brother wouldn’t stop talking about for w e e k s

Months actually

Tony’s nice

Sarcastic but nice

So’s all the avengers tbh

But once y’all made it to the beach that’s when the fun began

Clint and Natasha paired up to challenge steve and bucky to volleyball

Sam and Thor went straight to the water and dove in

Tony chose to lay back so he could, and I quote, “start my summer body off looking golden”

Peter hung with you for a minute — only cause you weren’t sure what to do, you were so overwhelmed — before deciding to join sam and Thor in the water

So you just stood there

Alone

Like a nerd

After five minutes, you took off the shirt and shorts you were wearing

Your bathing suit was underneath

But you decided to just walk along the beach

Everyone else looked like they were enjoying themselves

You didn’t want to intervene

Until Peter called you over to join him in the water

Which you happily did

You were having so much fun in the water you didn’t notice the burning sensation on your skin

It took you a good minute or two to really be like wow something doesn’t feel right

You look at your arms and they’re red

Your thighs are red

Your face and neck are probably red too

Peter notices too

He freaks out

He immediately gets you out of the water

“We gotta get you back to the car!” he sputters. “Fuck what was I thinking! How could I be so careless?!”

“But I don’t usually get sunburn,” you exclaim. “And you pretty much made me bathe in sunblock before we came here.”

Peter looked at you, his eyes big and full of worry

God he looked like a kicked puppy

“What’s May gonna think?” he mutters

“I don’t think she’ll have a heart attack over it,” you sigh, “just calm down okay?”

“Tony brought some beach umbrellas,” you continue, “I’ll stay under one of them for a bit. How does that sound?”

Peter nodded. “Fine, I’ll get it. Stay in the shade, okay? I don’t want you getting even more burned.”

You roll your eyes but nodded

But what did you expect?

Peter’s always looked out for you

Even if it’s from the sun ☀️

Patrick McKenna // SFW alphabet

Summary: A sfw A-Z for Camerlengo Patrick McKenna

Warnings: Breaking of church vows (kinda, if you think about it)

Notes: Please be aware that this is purely off of the movie where McKenna features, this is in no way related to how he is portrayed in the book (mostly because I haven’t read it yet). Also I don’t know how the Roman Catholic church entirely operates- as although I do study it, I have never experienced any of it first hand, so there may be inaccuracies, for which I apologise. My requests are currently open! My pinned post (found here) contains both a list of characters I write for, and a masterlist!

Not my gif

A - Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Publicly, Patrick can’t be affectionate. He’ll give you a look every so often, just so you still know he cares for you, even though he can’t exactly show it. He makes up for it in private though- making food once a week, some beverages, and lots of time curled up together on the sofa. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, he’ll even read to you.

B - Best Friend (What would they be like as a best friend? Where does the friendship start?)

As a friend, he would be the voice of reason, a moral compass for those who had little or none (whether they listened to him or not though, he couldn’t control).

C - Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Patrick does quite like cuddles. Curling up to cuddle wherever is probably his favourite way to cuddle- having you both embrace one another as close as you can fills him with such a sense of joy that nothing else can replicate.

D - Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking, cleaning, ect?)

Despite his vows to the Roman Catholic church, and the Vatican, he would love to settle down with you. Hands down, he’d probably do it in a heartbeat. He’s a pretty good cook, and often does some cleaning around the home.

E - Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

He would be very sympathetic about it- he understands it hurts, but if he’s leaving you there is most likely a good reason for it; most likely linking to his profession and position in the Vatican.

F - Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? Do they wanna get married?)

Despite his vows of celibacy and chastity, this man is still a follower of Roman Catholicism. His commitment to a person would be unwavering, everlasting. But it would have to come after his devotion to the Vatican itself.

G - Gentle (How gentle are they both physically and emotionally?)

He’s very gentle. He may be firm when implementing his beliefs and his opinions, but he is still gentle when he needs to be. He can be a little extreme, but for the most part, he knows how to take care of you, physically and emotionally.

H - Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it, and what are they like?)

Similar to cuddles, Patrick really likes hugs as well. A quick form of affection, that works well when out in public. He’ll often hug you from the side, as it’s the easiest one to have whilst on the move or staying mostly out of sight.

I - I Love You (How fast do they say the “love” word?)

It may take him a little while. He wants to be absolutely sure that love is what he’s feeling before he admits it to anyone but himself, even you.

J - Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What are they like when jealous?)

Jealousy is a trait that McKenna both has and despises. He can become incredibly jealous sometimes, but has become very good at hiding it. Sometimes even you don’t realise that that is what he’s feeling. When it gets really bad though, he’ll come to stand beside you- usually unable to touch you, since this usually happens whilst he is working- and speaks with the offender who made him jealous until they get scared off.

K - Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Patrick likes to kiss you on your cheek or ear when just out of sight in public. Kisses on the lips are usually fairly chaste, getting heated very rarely- and these were always in private, and always would be unless you get married. He likes to be kissed on the jaw and the crook of his neck- though you found this out through trial and error, rather than him telling you.

L - Little Ones (How are they around kids?)

Patrick is actually pretty good around kids- he is often a good influence for them. Sometimes he can get a little too preachy, but you usually let him know of that and he’ll eventually reel himself back in a little bit.

M - Morning (What are mornings like with them?)

Oftentimes McKenna is long gone by the time you wake up- though occasionally he’ll wake you to give you a forehead kiss before he leaves.

N - Nights (How are nights spent with them?)

There’s a routine for the evenings with Patrick- Grace and dinner, reading/watching a film, evening prayer, bed. There’s not overly much wiggle room in that, he likes routines.

O - Open (When do they open up about themselves?)

If you’re having a quiet conversation during a film, he’ll occasionally slip in a piece of information about him, but you already know a lot from what he told you when he first met you- besides his extreme beliefs, he doesn’t keep many secrets.

P - Patience (How easily angered are they?)

He is incredibly patient. Almost eerily so at times. It takes a lot, and I mean a lot, to get him visibly angered. Such as a lot of pressure over time, or a heavy interrogation.

Q - Quizzes (How much do they remember about you?)

A lot. Occasionally he’ll forget something though- in which case he’ll profusely apologise and promise to remember it again in future.

R - Remember (Favorite memory with you?)

There’s no one particular memory. There’s many- going to cafes together, walking along the canals hand in hand, hell even showing you around the Vatican. Anything that makes you smile, really.

S - Security (How protective are they?)

Quite protective, even if he doesn’t often outwardly show it. The Roman Catholic church is a big organisation, one full of corruption even if they deny it. He knows that if any of them knew of your relationship, it could put you in danger, so he makes sure to inform you of how to keep safe, no matter the situation.

T - Try (How much effort do they put in?)

He puts about as much effort in as any normal man does. He tries, but it’s not always particularly special.

U - Ugly (What are their bad habits?)

He preaches a lot. This man has to quote something from scripture every day, for whatever reason. It can get rather frustrating at times.

V - Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

He has to look presentable, but since vanity goes against the virtues he’s been raised to follow, he does his best not to be as vain as some people can be.

W - Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

He would miss you a lot- you’ve become so ingrained into his daily life that it’s hard to imagine a day without you now.

X - Xtra (Random HC)

He’ll sometimes read you a bible story or two to get you to sleep if you’ve had a bad day- he has a very smooth and calming reading voice.

Y - Yuck (Things they don’t like either in general or a partner?)

He doesn’t like it when people try to disprove his beliefs, or argue against them. It gets him very agitated, and will deter him from said person.

Z - Zzz (Sleep habits)

Literally just a normal sleep pattern, there’s nothing else or unusual to say about it.

in your expert opinion what are some of the most destiel-heavy episodes of spn? i stopped watching around season 7 and have no interest in engaging w the plot of the show at all but i’m in the mood for some gay yearning ykwim

Hi anon! Thank you for reaching out to me about this, I’m, no-joke, very flattered. I’d seen a couple posts on this same question, very thorough and detailed lists on Destiel-centric episodes, but at the moment I cannot find any of them, that would’ve answered your request much faster. So, in advance, sorry, my reply is probably coming in extremely late, but I did write this from scratch, so yeah.

Even though storylines in SPN can be very shitty and hollow, I do feel that to get the full Destiel experience -that long-drawn yearning- one would have to watch the entirety of the show, even if Cas isn’t in the episode or if there’s no explicit mention of their relationship/bond because it gives you a better understanding of them as characters and of how their relationship affects the narrative.

Now, you mentioned you stopped around S7, which is completely understandable and justified given the Dick plot game was very weak and, in my opinion, annoying (so little Cas!). I’m going to start listing from S7 in case you want to refresh your SPN before jumping straight into unseen episodes. Also, since you mentioned no interest in the plot and are specifically craving those sweet crumbs of gay yearning, I’ll skip most one-sided / too subtle episodes and cut to the chase.

Lastly, I hate spoiling things, but you’ve probably seen it all on Tumblr. I tried to keep the episodes’ descriptions short, as it might come in useful. Stuck to key words, quotes and/or little comments.

Season 7

7x01 – Meet the New Boss: Godstiel, sincere apology. Cas: “I'm gonna find some way to redeem myself to you.”

7x02 – Hello, Cruel World: Mourning. Trench coat melancholy. The heart-wrenching eulogy: “Dumb son of a bitch.”

7x17 – The Born-Again Identity: Emmanuel!Cas, reunion, longing, hurt.

7x21 – Reading is Fundamental: Honey!Cas, hug, hurt, reunion, that painful SORRY (board game) scene.

7x23 – Survival of the Fittest: Honey!Cas, forgiveness, adorable, wified Cas. Dean hits us with: “Nobody cares that you're broken, Cas!" but also “I'd rather have you, cursed or not.”

Season 8 (this season is so good and Destiel is the driving motor of it, I swear. If you can, watch it complete.)

8x01 – We Need to Talk About Kevin: Dean in Purgatory looking for the angel. Cas is referred to as “your [Dean’s] angel.”

8x02 – What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?: HUG!!!, Purgatory reunion, face touch, very romantic. Monster: “ You'll find your angel there.” // Dean: “Let me bottom-line it for you. I'm not leaving here without you.”

8x05 – Blood Brother: Cas vs. Benny cat fight lol. Dean: “Cas... we're gonna shove your ass back through the eye of that needle if it kills all three of us.”

8x07 – A Little Slice of Kevin: Cas comes back from Purgatory, but before that Dean starts seeing him in places. Very tragic; hallucinating your dead significant other trope. Has That boner scene. Dean: “I did everything I could to get you out! EVERYTHING!” Cas helps Dean see what truly happened in Purgatory and not his self-altered memories. PACKED!

8x08 – Hunteri Heroici: Hilarious, romantic, intimate. Dean and Cas have an heart to heart. They actually communicate. Cas “I’ll watch over you.”

8x10 Torn and Frayed: They work a case together, and when I say heart eyes…

8x17 – Goodbye Stranger: THIS. EPISODE. Dean “I need you.”

8x19 – Taxi Driver: Separation. Naomi to Dean: "You're hoping Castiel will return to you. I admire your loyalty; I only wish he felt the same way."

8x22 – Clip Show: Lack of trust, hurt, tense interactions. Romantic too (basically, Cas gets Dean an apology basket).

8x23 – Sacrifice: Meaningful conversation and a gay couple hit by Cupid parallel. Dean “So this is it? E.T goes home?"

Season 9

9x01 – I think I’m Gonna Like it Here: Dean prays to Cas IN.A.CHAPEL. Worry, longing, separation. Dean “Please, man, I need you here.”

9x03 – I’m No Angel: Human!Cas and jealous!Dean.

9x06 – Heaven Can’t Wait: Human!Cas TEXT-BOOK LONGING. GAY AS FUCK. Gazing, touching, they even TALK (for real).

9x09 – Holy Terror: Adorable Cas, flirty vibes, happyish, funny. Cas: “Cas is back in town!”

9x10 – Road Trip: Cas comforts Dean, Cas and Crowley bitching at each other, overall protective!Cas.

9x18 – Metafiction. Cas finds out about the Mark of Cain.

9x21 – King of the Damned: Hug, strong boyfriends vibes.

9x22 – Stairway to Heaven: Cas gives up an entire army, for Dean. Metatron about Cas “He's in love………………………. with humanity.”

9x23 – Do You Believe in Miracles?: At this point, it’s canon stated that Cas will do anything and lose everything if that means saving Dean. Metatron to Cas “You draped yourself in the flag of heaven, but ultimately, it was all about saving one human, right?”

Season 10

10x01 – Black: Demon!Dean and sick/brokenhearted Cas in a slutty robe missing his man.

10x03 – Soul Survivor: ICONIC. Angel on Demon action! Cas turns down Hannah because he’s too gay and in love. Intimate Deancas talk.

10x05 – Fan Fiction: No Cas, but Destiel references.

10x09 – The Things We Left Behind: That.Lunch.Date. Deancas introduction to co-parenting.

10x14 – The Executioner’s Song: We get Daddy Murder aka Cain. This is a Pivotal episode to understand Dean’s character development. Plus, it has Deancas interactions.

10x16 – Paint It Black: No Cas, but Dean opens up in confessionary; repressed BISEXUAL AS FUCK.

10x18 – Book of the Damned: Charlie meets Cas. Gay energies everywhere. Cute domestic little scene.

10x20 – Angel Heart: PARENTING! Essential to understand Cas from this point forward.

10x22 – The Prisoner: Just… just watch it. One of THEE Destiel episodes.

10x23 – Brother’s Keeper: No Deancas interactions but it’s the finale, and I recommend watching it because next season takes off literally right from here. No time jumps.

Season 11

11x02 – Form and Void: Could skip to the very end which is when Cas comes back.

11x03 – The Bad Seed: Cursed!Cas. Dean takes care of him, even wraps him in a blanket. He also cradles his face. Extreme Hurt/Comfort. Jacting joices rejoice.

11x10 – The Devil in the Details: Could skip but has Casifer in it. Interesting to see his dynamic with Dean.

11x18 – Hell’s Angel: Casifer. Dean "It? It's not an it, Sam, it's Cas!"

11x23 – Alpha and Omega: Huggg! Cas willing to go on a guaranteed suicide mission with Dean. Very tender and sad.

Season 12

12x02 – Keep Calm and Carry On: ANOTHER HUG! Dean presents his boyfriend to his mom<3 Soft and romantic.

12x09 – First Blood: Reunion hug<3, Cas pining… as in he counts his every minute without Dean.

12x10 – Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets: Direct parallel with canon couple. Crystal-clear mutual affection. One of the best. Angel Ishim to Cas about Dean “I'm gonna help you. I'm gonna cure you of your human weakness same way I cured my own… by cutting it out.”

12x12 – Stuck in the Middle with You: A dying Cas confesses his love. “I love you. I love all of you.”

12x19 – The Future: We find out Dean gave Cas a MIXTAPE!!! Very romantic and full of yearning, also worry and what could be seen as a betrayal (ish…).

12x23 – All Along the Watch Tower: Hands down, one of the most distressing Destiel episodes. Cas dies.

Season 13

13x01 – Lost and Found: This is the worst because you have Dean trying to assimilate Cas’ death. Core of Dean’s widow’s arc. Jack introduction, that’s their new kid.

13x02 – The Rising Son: Widow’s arc (you could skip it, but why would you?).

13x03 – Patience: Widow’s arc (you could skip it, but why would you?). Dean to Sam “He manipulated him, he made him promises, said, ‘paradise on earth’ and Cas bought it and you know what that got him? It got him dead! Now you might be able to forget about that, but I can’t!”

13x04 – The Big Empty: Continuation of widow’s arc and Cas wakes up in the Empty. The Empty to Cas: "I know who you love. There's nothing for you back there." // Dean to Sam “I need you to keep the faith, for both of us. ‘Cause right now, I… Right now, I don’t believe in a damn thing.”

13x05 – Advanced Thanatology: Suicidal and hopeless Dean gets his win. Cas comes back. Gives me the chills.

13x06 – Tombstone: COWBOY BOYFRIENDS!

13x14 – Good Intentions: Happy and fun Destiel scene. So Very Married.

13x23 – Let The Good Times Roll: Season finale, Dean talks about retiring (plans include Cas of course) and just very nice to see them interact.

Season 14

14x03 – The Scar: Reunion.

14x08 – Byzantium: Deanand Cas dealing with their child’s death, then bringing him back by Cas making a deal with the Empty. IMPORTANT EPISODE.

14x09 – The Spear: Cas uses the royal We – married behavior.

14x10 – Nihilism: Dean is stuck in his own mind, and Cas and Sam try to bring him back. Cas “Please, you have to -- you have to try to remember, because the people in your life -- in your real life, out there -- we need you to come back.”

14x12 – Prophet and Loss: Dean gets his very own Dr. Sexy, aka Dr. Cas.

14x14 – Ouroboros: Basically another date (their kid tags along) and They TALK. Very intimate and established marriage vibes.

14x18 – Absence: Shits starts to go south. [ Dean: “Who cares what Jack said? We don't know what happened! But I swear, if he did something to her, if she is -- (points to Castiel) Then you're dead to me. (Castiel looks crushed after Dean says that).]

14x20 – Moriah: Tense and very upsetting. Relationship very damaged.

Season 15 (I would advise watching the entire season because it relies heavily on Destiel. They’re the heart and the emotional motor leading the plot onwards.)

15x01 – Back and To The Future: Deancas’ in the aftermath of their kid’s death. Tension gets worse.

15x02 – Raising Hell: Tension rises, this is very intense. Cas “Dean. You asked, "What about all of this is real?" We are.”

15x03 – The Rupture: Breaking point ends in divorce.

15x06 – Golden Time: Painful phone call which speaks volumes about the current state of their relationship at the time. Also, good to see where they’re standing and how they’re coping.

15x08 – Our Father Who Aren’t in Heaven: Strained relationship so obvious they’re offered couples’ therapy.

15x09 – The Trap: MASTERPIECE. Back to Purgatory. Can (and is) taken as Dean’s love confession (because it is).

15x12 – Galaxy Brain: So married. Little domestic date, you can see LOVE written in their faces.

15x13 – Destiny’s Child: AU!Dean and Sam. Not a yearning episode per se, but AU!Dean? SO GAY.

15x17 – Unity: God reveals that the only act of free will in any universe he ever created has been Cas choosing Dean.

15x18 – Despair: Cas confesses his love to Dean.

random rusame headcanons plz 🤧 space gays space gays

Anon I don’t think you understand how much I absolutely LOVE you rn. These are all gonna be pure fluff and crack, GOD IM SO HAPPY SOMEONE ASKED FOR THESE

no warnings!!!

•=======================•

- America’s accent will get more southern sounding depending on who he’s talking to or if he’s tired/drunk. When he talks to England it automatically gets more southern but he exaggerates it to piss Arthur off. IT ALSO gets southern w/ Russia but Ivan thinks it’s endearing ❤️

- It’s a common occurrence for Alfred to catch Ivan jamming out to Miss Baltimore Crabs despite claiming to hate Hairspray

- Alfred took Ivan hunting once typical like south style and it went TERRIBLY

- Ivan really likes early 2010s American music but refuses to admit it bc he knows it’s one of Alfreds favorite time periods of music

- Another common occurrence i’m the car is a song will come on in e car and the lyrics will say one or two things that he can relate to and Alfred goes “LMAO bruh it’s us during *insert some year*” or “me when you *insert some mega specific event*” and ivan just 😐🙄😬🙃

- The first time Alfred forced Ivan to listen to Rasputin was one of the hardest times Alfred ever laughed

- They take a lot of showers together

- Russias weak ass skin needs extra TLC when it comes to sunscreen. Once he got so sunburnt that Alfred was able to peel most of his back and absolutely bullied the fuck out of him for it the whole time

- They watch shitty reality tv and tlc together. They love to quote iconic lines from Hoarders, 1000 Pound Sisters, etc

- Ivan doesn’t get weirded out by mundane shit but frequently Alfred will bring a bug up to him and Ivan always flinches and goes “EUGHhHhHdhf”. Alfred is the only one who knows this

- Alfred dragged Ivan to every goddamn marvel/DC movie release date. Ivan knows the lore of the entire goddamn MCU because of this. He doesn’t really like them but he knows Alfred LOOVES the so he endorses it bc he likes seeing Al happy. (they both really enjoyed deadpool)

- Ivan lowkey likes country music and it’s all Alfred’s fault

- They generally just make a lot of fun and tease each other a lot, that’s like their love language 🥰

- Rusame loves hugs. they hate initiating them

- They are the mfs who are somehow always touching without realizing it

- They play footsies during meetings but it always leads to one of them kicking the other and everybody hearing it

- They also get into intense thumb was battles in the middle of meetings

- They both know morse code so they use that a lot to say sweet things rather than using their words

- Ivan is more laid back than Al but he will do shit to embarrass him. Like yell something humiliating in public, say that Al is like 14 years old, etc

- They have really long introspective conversations about politics, philosophy, history, etc bc they’re both nerds

- They both absolutely loooove space and are honestly genuinely VERY smart. Like they probably helped their respective space programs and now talk about everything they learned and shit

- Al is like the only person Ivan can get soft with

- They both get nightmares and that’s when they cuddle most :,)

OK, so, episode reax of WoH Ep 4 is briefly delayed – may be out Sunday, but more likely post M-W workweek. It is coming. Meanwhile, have some more Street Dance of China? S3, Ep 2.

First of all, I have to say that if I had any way of figuring out what some of this music is, I’d have a new Spotify playlist 300 songs long.

ANYWAY, we get a recap of … Wang Yibo being incredulous about coming in last place in a dance competition. Wang Yibo vowing to get back the three colorful towels he lost by coming in last place in a dance competition and therefore can’t use to send three more of his team’s dancers on to the next round. Hip-hop freestyle battles for TOWELS. Wang Yibo getting his colorful towels back. Ridiculous unnecessary drama over whether Lay Zhang is going to win his battle and get EVEN MORE colorful towels, given his competition is Wallace Chung (oh dear. that was kind of blunt.). And that’s what you missed on Glee Street Dance of China 3 Ep 1.

Snapshots of what’s coming up this week: Everyone has shot their wad on towels and is sweating the fact that they have 59 more dancers they want to send through to the next round and a single towel left. (I TOLD YOU SO. ALL OF YOU.) The only way to get more towels is to battle for them. A hip-hop battle has NEVER BEEN SO IMPORTANT.

Cutting here, I guess, for ridiculously detailed nattering. Hashtag long post (remorseful):

Team Lay Zhang: First of all, Lay Zhang, I just have to note that you’re getting an edit that doesn’t make you look like the brightest bulb in the box. I don’t know if this is just the edit, or if it’s … well. You. I guess we’ll see as the season goes on. Also, in the interim, I have found out that you also are Zhang Yixing, which a lot of your fandom seems to actually call you, so should I call you Yixing instead of Lay? You seem to be going by Lay for this show, so it seems polite to stick to that? Anyway. Gongsun Wu Ming & Hei Zai start us off this episode, and they get off to a little bit of a slow start, but once they pick up, they’ve got a lot of nice air in their moves, that effortless(-looking) almost anti-gravity effect that good breakers can get. Then we almost immediately get a series of ok, that’s fine, oh, wait, no, THAT is actually pretty mediocre poppers, none of whom gets a towel, thank god, because the supply has to be running low. And then Teng Zai appears, claiming to be the best popper, and … OK. OK, alright. Fine. He might be right. His technique and control are fantastic, but you want to know what really sells me, in the middle of this generally fantastic performance? It’s that series of chest pops followed by the little heart held out right on the fk’n music. It’s little details like that, that make or break a performance, and he pulled it off beautifully. I went back to re-watch, it was so slick, yet so charming. OK, maybe I went back to watch more than once. You can’t prove anything. (Also, he gets called their little “Ares” - in quotes, in the subs – by other contestants, more than once, but I can’t pick out the actual sound of that name, which makes me think the subbers have inserted “Ares” as something that will give the flavor of what he’s actually being called. My 1st level Duolingo Mandarin is absolutely not enough to figure out what people are actually calling him, so is there anyone who’s able to give me some insight, here?) Aaaand, Towel Battle 1 (see Footnote 1). Post-battle, we’ve reached the point when all the captains are sweating their lack of towels, so e’rybody is just going to have to battle for towels from here on out. Yuan Ye faces Momo, and a little bit, this is where I expect the knife fight to start (Momo’s bringing the knife). I’m honestly not that impressed with either of them and probably would have saved my towel for someone else, but Lay Zhang decides to send them both through, so what’s the point of a battle to begin with? BUT THEN (dun-dun-dun) some dude calling himself Bon shows up to really cut a bitch, waves away both Yuan Ye and Momo to the sidelines, describes himself as “a boom” and proceeds to give a performance that imo is kind of mushy and all over the place. Lay Zhang looks a little taken aback as Bon sort of grinds up on him but can’t even really commit to that, just before Lin Zi Jie shows up. Lay Zhang makes Zi Jie change his coat - thank god, because you can’t see half of what he’s doing and he actually seems like the most towel-worthy performance out of this whole cluster of flail – and asks for a freestyle battle, which turns out to not be that great on Bon’s or Zi Jie’s parts, actually. I feel like the dance vocabulary here is kind of limited, and we’re left with a bunch of hip-shaking, grinding, and supposedly seductive looks, which is NOT going to cut it in the battles we’ve seen already. Towels to Momo and Zi Jie, rather than putting them in reserve and waiting to see who else shows up, which I think is probably a mistake, but OK, I’m not a pop idol with the clout to star on this show, so. (I know what I like to watch, tho’, and none of that was it.) A promise to Yuan Ye that she gets a Battle Towel. Time for Towel Battle 3 (See Footnote 3).

Team Wallace Chung: So, first off, there’s George, who dances before he’ll introduce himself, and I guess I have to respect a guy who’s going to let his performance be his introduction. And then we get a series of OK that’s fine but not really great poppers, and Wallace, unlike Lay, is handing out towels like candy. OK, my man. If that’s really what you want to do, I guess, but it doesn’t seem like the greatest idea to me. You’re also really fucking with the morale of the dancers who haven’t performed yet, who are gradually realizing that you’re going to run out of towels before you even get to them. Hilariously (for me, if not the contestants), I paused at this point to go refresh my bourbon and managed to freeze on a random contestant, identified as Wei Ming - who I don’t know if we’ll ever get to see actually perform, but he deserves the bolded name for this, alone – looking baffled and concerned, with the English subtitle on his comment reading “Sir, what are you thinking?” I suspect he is not using “Sir” in the sense that I use it when my cat (or Zhang Zhehan) has done something appallingly adorable, but rather when the cat has knocked yet another gd pen off my desk while I’m trying to take notes, just to be a bastard for attention. (OTOH, I guess if you weren’t one of the dancers bold enough to swarm up there in the first couple of hours, you take what you get. Fortuna fortes adiuvat.) We finally get to Lin Meng, whose reputation precedes him, but seriously, if Wallace is just handing out towels to every popper, what does it even mean? Wallace – Wallace – proceeds to basically call Lin Meng an old man before making him bargain for a towel, which is a shame, because Lin Meng deserves to get not only this towel but the four towels you just gave away to some guys who should still be holding Lin Meng’s jacket, Wallace. I mean, seriously, this guy’s technique is fantastic. Even if he does fumble his jacket lapel that one time. Aaaand, Towel Battle 1 (see Footnote 1). Post battle, we get A.K. Dong, who’s got some excellent musicality and a face that apparently resembles a variety show star (Hank Chen?). I mean, I guess it gets him noticed, but it sucks that it seems to overshadow his dancing, because he’s really good. Then we notice our towels are running low, and everybody is just going to have to battle it out. Wallace promises the Battle Towel to some dude who we don’t see perform and don’t get a name for, and with my prognisticatory skills, I’m going to say we won’t need to know his name, because this is the last we’ll see of him. Time for Towel Battle 3 (See Footnote 3).

Team Wang Yibo: First up, we get Bing, whose reputation precedes him, prompting other teams to look around and wonder what all the commotion is about. Bing has a motorbike moment with Yibo, before giving a performance that starts off the tiniest bit mushy before he puts some fantastic technique on display. Yibo pulls out his Perpetual Student schtick and asks for some freestyle with some motorbike elements, which at first makes me suspect you might be fucking with this guy just a little bit, Yibo, but Bing is both game and versatile, and he eventually gets his towel, along with a wish from Yibo to ride together sometime, and oh. (As we say, in A Very Significant Tone, on AO3.) All of that was flirting. OK. On the heels of Yibo giving me yet another clue as to his taste in men, we roll into a seriously uncomfortable segment that stomps all over my embarrassment squick because they’ve cut together several women to look desperate and starstruck and comical and dumb, while Yibo looks increasingly uncomfortable, and I am super not down with this, show. I’ll admit that from what we can see, none of them are great dancers, but I suspect there were a lot of not-great male dancers, too, and I just. Ick. This was unnecessary, you haven’t done it to any of the other captains, and it frankly doesn’t make Yibo look that great, when you set his reactions here against the fact that not only have we not seen approval from him for any female contestants so far, but this segment is the only interaction we’ve seen from him with any female contestants so far. Hard on the heels of this segment, we get Chick, who is very good when he wants to be but also super-extra and annoying, and who fucks around more than he really dances, but the audience seems charmed with him, and Yibo doesn’t give him any of the smackdown he deserves, which doesn’t improve my impression of the previous segment, given the varied ways Yibo iced out some of the women. Meanwhile, Jackson Wang strolls over, and Yibo acts super weird about it, for a guy who was the first one to wander into someone else’s territory, which was – oh, yeah, I remember, Jackson’s – to watch his dancers, and Jackson says that he would give Chick a towel before heading back to his own street, and then Yibo does, even though he fucks with him a little bit first, and then there’s a bit of footage cut in of Yibo making dumbass excuses for this guy, so. I’m not entirely feeling you right now, Yibo. Also, all of this is certainly doing nothing to disabuse me of the notion that you’re about 1000000x more comfortable in homosocial situations, for whatever reason. Anyway, we then get a montage of Yibo handing out some towels to various dancers (including a woman, finally, although she’s intercut with some other people and doesn’t actually get a full segment of her own), and then we get Tao and Cici, who are both good, but Yibo now discovers that he only has three towels and there are two people standing in front of him, so he gives a towel to Tao and promises one to Cici after the next towel battle, which, yeah, Tao is probably better, but this is a hell of time to decide to be circumspect with your towels, Yibo, when you can leave a woman sitting on the sidelines but send her husband through to the next round. :hands: Anyway, it’s time for Towel Battle 2 (See Footnote 2), and I do have to give Yibo props, again, for his teambuilding, because he takes a minute to say, hey, there aren’t a lot of towels left, and there are quite a few of you, so what we’re going to do is all go over there together, and get another towel, as a team. Post-battle, Yibo is still concerned about his lack of towels, and everyone left is going to have to battle it out, although, frankly, the way Yibo’s been going on about how much he likes battles, I sort of think he might secretly be a tiny bit excited about this. He ends up putting person after person into reserve, waiting to see everyone, probably, and then Meng Di shows up, and she’s already got the rest of the group behind her. They know her, they know she has cochlear implants, they respond immediately when she shushes them so she can hear Yibo and the music, they call for the DJ to turn up the music for her, they clap together to emphasize the beat. She’s smart enough to keep six feet between her and Yibo while she dances, so that she doesn’t spook him like the fragile and shy homosocial forest creature he apparently is. She immediately gets her cha cha on when her battle partner holds out his hand to lead her out for her turn. Good technique, even though there are a few bobbles. None of these four performances in the final battle are the best we’ve seen so far, but they’re solid. Yibo is clearly torn about what to do with his one towel, although the audience starts getting kind of insistent that he needs a waacker, and a female waacker at that, and he ends up making Bullet and Meng Di battle again. She’s performing for the audience at this point – I mean, she’s not even pretending about it, she spends most of this round facing them, with her back to Yibo - and she’s also versatile, genre-wise, so I think we can all see where this is going. I think he really wanted to give that towel to Bullet, who definitely is very good, but he knew that he’s painted himself into a corner where he ought to give it to Meng Di, so that he’s got some genre-versatility on the team, if nothing else. Towel to Meng Di, and a promise to Bullet to win another Battle Towel for him. Time for Towel Battle 3 (See Footnote 3).

Team Jackson Wang: First up is Bai, who apparently is a favorite from season one, but I haven’t seen season one – or season two - so I don’t have any history on any of these people. Bai is doing a bit, here, but he’s also generally got some good technique, so OK. Why are they blurring out his left wrist, though? Yang Yu Ting is really good, some more good technique, good musicality. And then we’re already on to Towel Battle 2 (See Footnote 2). Post-battle, we get Shen Kai Xiang, who apparently looks A LOT like Jack Ma, which seems to be little bit like if some Bill Gates-lookin’ mf’r showed up to audition for SYTYCD. Lyrical; good technique; much like Bai, appears to be doing a bit. And, then, as with all the captains, the dearth of towels sets in, and Jackson is going to put everyone in the gladiator ring and make them battle it out. Maybe we can win another Battle Towel. Time for Towel Battle 3 (See Footnote 3).

***

Footnote 1, AKA Towel Battle 1, Team Lay Zhang vs. Team Wallace Chung, 3v3: Team Lay Zhang is San Jin, who they throw up some B-roll on, since the show has spent no time on him so far although he seems to be in cahoots with Xiao Bao (see Ep 1 recap); Gongsun Wu Ming, who’s spoiling for a battle after no one would take him up on it during his initial performance; and Teng Zai, because I mean, come on. Team Wallace Chung is Lin Meng, which should be interesting, since he and Teng Zai are apparently from the same crew, George, and Qin Yu, who we not only haven’t seen before this, that I can remember, but don’t even get B-roll on while Wallace is talking strategy, unlike the other two. Qin Yu, this does not bode well for your future on the show, if they’re not even bothering to give you B-roll, let alone an edit. Both captains are very weird about introducing their dancers, like these guys are some big surprise and aren’t going to dance in front of everybody in a minute and half, anyway. Possibly this is some kind of attempt at a dominance display? I don’t know. It’s won by the host, anyway, who eventually enforces his will and gets some introductions out of the captains. Anyway, Gongsun is up first for Team Lay Zhang, and this dude is just fun to watch, with great musicality and flow, and Wallace’s face while watching him is a picture, let me tell you. He’s up on Qin Yu almost immediately, possibly sensing the weakest link of Team Wallace? Team Wallace counters with George, who’s not having any of that, and gets the first point for his team. Second round, Teng Zai is once again impeccable, so even though someone has lit a fire under George, who spends half his time upside down, he nevertheless loses the point to Teng Zai. Round three, Teng Zai and Lin Meng face off, and they’ve both got great technique, although I feel like Lin Meng has a slight edge there, but I also think Teng Zai did a better job of showcasing strength and control, so I’m not surprised when the judges go for another round, in which Teng Zai is still super-fun to watch and definitely on his game, but Lin Meng steps up with some incredible precision, so I’m a little surprised when the judges give it (unanimously) to Teng Zai and Team Lay Zhang. One more round, and Teng Zai … is maybe wearing down a little bit, coasting on this one, and oh, hey, we’re finally going to get to see Qin Yu, who has some nice fluidity but maybe doesn’t really match up to Teng Zai in the charisma department, which may be why we haven’t seen him before this, and also why he loses the round. Round, battle, and two towels to Team Lay Zhang, and we still haven’t seen more than 15 seconds of B-roll of San Jin. But wait! There’s still a moment to be had, in which Teng Zai suggests donating one of their towels to Team Wallace, namechecks love and peace as a vital part of street dance, and quite possibly cements his place in my – and everyone else’s - heart. Both sides go home with a towel.

Footnote 2, AKA Towel Battle 2, Team Wang Yibo vs. Team Jackson Wang, 3v3 captain-led battle: Oh, they get to choose a song for each other. This should be interesting. I feel like there’s some shit-talking going on here, although I’m not really equipped to catch it and am at the mercy of the subtitles. Does Jackson really ask Yibo, “You WERE a dancer when you were young?” because lol. And Yibo is all, “Eh, kind of?” I do love how neither of them can hold still for songs two and three. So, Team Yibo is also Bing and Tao, while Team Jackson is also Bai and Ting. The thing that strikes me immediately during the minute or so that they get to plan and quickly choreograph is that Team Yibo has everyone there – there’s no point during this planning stage that the entire crew isn’t involved. They’re all part of this. Meanwhile, Team Jackson is just the three of them, separate from everybody, working out their choreography. The whole-team approach IMMEDIATELY pays off, when Team Yibo slams out of the gate with an energy and power and fullness to their performance that Yibo will later comment is fueled by the atmosphere that the dancers at the back create, and he’s right, it’s just like a wave of pressure pushing them forward, not even getting into the fact that the three people actually in the battle are fucking good. Team Jackson is also good, but they don’t feel like a team, the crew in the back doesn’t seem to have it together, and the loss of that – it has an impact. No surprise that Round 1 goes to Team Yibo and their Attitude, which is like an entire fourth dancer on its own. Round two coming up, and the entire Team Yibo is still involved in the planning stages, Yibo’s flannel has come off and we’re down to T-shirt sleeves, and Tao is surprising me not only with his moves – I honestly didn’t expect him to come as hard as he does, given he and Cici were more lyrical in their initial performance – but in his killer instinct, because he’s the one who suggests getting up in Jackson’s face, lit. and fig., by yoinking one of his signature moves. Meanwhile, Yibo is playing gay chicken, and it is just as great an idea as it sounds like (and this is that performance that a clip of it was making the rounds a few months ago); meanwhile Jackson is going high (?) concept, and that is just as bad an idea as it sounds like, although he does attempt some charming self-deprecation when it’s all over (also, omg, one of the contestant reactions later is that he’s “short of brain trust.” I’m not actually sure what the most eloquent way to translate that comment would have been, but it certainly gets an idea across.) Chick actually earns his pay in one of the best moments of the battle that – as much as I hate to encourage it – actually does profit off his general air of douchery, Team Jackson continues to lack the kind of cohesive team feel that Team Yibo is bringing – and second round, battle, and towel to Team Yibo. THIS is the advantage of team-building from the very first minute. Also, fuck, Yibo and the dancers he’s collected are good. Technically, yes, but also, the auditions are getting kind of interminable, but after this battle, I’m excited again, and that kind of audience reaction is a good measure of whether your dancing is successful. (Towel goes to Cici, btw, which, yeah, Tao did fucking earn that for her, so I’m glad you came through on your promise to her, Yibo.)

Footnote 3, AKA Towel Battle 3, all four captains. Cypher. Four rounds. Everyone else’s face when the cypher is announced: D: Yibo’s face when the cypher is announced: >:D They each get to choose a style of music. Wallace chooses locking. Yibo and Jackson both choose hip-hop. Lay Zhang chooses krump. Yibo’s already moving before the music even starts, to whatever music lives inside his head. The music actually starts, and Yibo is in the center before anyone else gets the chance (probably before anyone else can get up their nerve …) My sound drops out right here, which, wtf, but I can still tell Yibo’s throwing down the gauntlet. He’s beatable, but not by anybody who’s going to coast. Also, goddam, he has legs for days. Lay Zhang is in next, with some good speed and power and crispness to his moves, although I’m having trouble taking that cap with the fake dreads seriously. It’s … actually super interfering with me getting on board with your vibe, my dude. Jackson’s up next, and he has somehow managed to bring my sound back, and he also lands, frankly, the best forward Salto we’ve seen from anyone so far this season, which I have to admit even though he is my inexplicable mortal enemy. Yibo and Wallace, ffs, ice him out in the follow-up, although he then does the same thing to Lay, so who tf knows what’s going on with the actual interpersonals between these guys and what’s for show, at this point. Wallace finally gets his turn and is super-game but horribly out-classed. Yibo gives him props anyway, which, good on you for respecting your elders and their efforts, I guess, baby, but let’s all admit that was an “E” for effort. Judges are frantically scribbling their points down as round 2/4 begins, and Yibo is the first one in the middle, again, and wtf gdi my sound really picks this point to drop out again? I feel like Youku may be fucking with me, at this point. ANYWAY, Yibo is finally, actually all in, and he’s got a fantastic Harlem shake, it’s like his joints are barely connected. I honestly could watch this boy dance all day, that’s how smooth he looks. Here’s the thing about Yibo, and it’s something the other captains haven’t yet achieved, or have only accomplished in slivers of time – he makes me want to dance, too. I watch him, and I want to be doing what he’s doing. You could say that he literally, not just figuratively or emotionally, moves me. And his ability to stoke that is something I really appreciate. Jackson Wang is up next and is pretty good, but I’m honestly more impressed with Lay Zhang, who manages to look almost like he’s being special-effected, that’s how staccato he gets at his best in this round. Wallace dances. The other captains are polite about it. More scribbling from the judges. Jackson’s the first one out there in round three, and he’s honestly looking the least tired of all of them. Stamina is maybe an issue, here. Even with Jackson, some of the finer control is gone. Y’all are maybe a little soft? How long has it been since any of you idols had to endure the workout of an entire concert? There’s a whole ‘nother round to go after this, so you better get your oxygen masks. Lay Zhang is still fairly crisp and pulls off a literal hat trick, although he’s doing a lot more upper body work that lets him stand in place than he is actually moving around. Jackson, with his baby boy enthusiasm and energy, is magnanimous enough to fill up some of Wallace’s time by “pulling” him into the center and then getting out there and dancing with him. I am old enough that I understand what Wallace is going through, but there’s just a noticeable difference in ability, here. Yibo is clearly waiting until last this time, to those of us paying scrupulous attention, although it’s nothing too obvious, and it does buy him enough time that he’s basically recovered by the time he gets back into the middle of the circle, although he’s a little less expansive than he’s been in the previous two rounds. So, strategic, then, too. Judges scribble as we move into the last round. No time for weakness, all of you. DID YOU HEAR ME, because most of you are looking, to be frank, just a little bit WEAK as you circle around and hang out on the edges and try to get your breath and energy back. I’m just sayin’. Lay takes the hit first, and he’s really trying, although he’s not as strong as he was back in the second round. I’m a little bit afraid he might fall over by the end of it. Yibo is sweating but pulls some random dude’s hat right off his head before … at least going all in, even if he doesn’t quite know what he’s doing, krump-wise. He ends by falling on the ground, in a credible WWX-passing-the-fuck-out imitation, which is probably a relief, by that point. Jackson probably has the most energy left, although he’s reduced to pulling off his shirt and posing by the end of his time. Wallace does some dancing. Look. I’m just going to leave it at that. Jackson is still being polite enough to encourage his elder. It’s maybe a little bit endearing. Final result is that Lay Zhang wins, which. OK. I would have placed him second, after Yibo, but I also seem to remember that he won the initial captains’ performance, back in Ep 1, so I guess I can’t be too surprised at this, based on trends. Show director was apparently so impressed, he’s gonna give up four extra towels, one to each captain, which means Lay gets two towels. So I guess towels go to Yuan Ye on Team Lay Zhang and Bullet on team Wang Yibo, if they keep their promises, although don’t know who Wallace and Jackson are planning on giving their extra towels to.

Next ep: Mystery Guest.

KaruShuu as Parents

Am I obsessed with doing KaruShuu head canons? Absolutely.

Will I spam my Tumblr with them? Oh you bet I will.

Today, I present to you: KaruShuu if they were parents!

Before you read, I don't think it's that important (lol) but me and my dear friend were doing some KaruShuu family themed Scenarios and I am obv in love with each and one of them, but basically KaruShuu have three kids there, (adopted):

A 14 y.o daughter named Dai

A 10 y.o son named Touma

And a probably 1-2 y.o baby girl named Mika

(Pls don't attack me we just needed kids names for our scenarios and we went with these to not get confused 😭)

Oh and again, before we start I want to make something clear: KaruShuu would be the best parents ever. I don't make the rules. ✨

Who carries the kids from the couch/car to the bed? - Karma and while he is taking the kids out, Shuu quickly gets out of the car/ or gets off the sofa to make the bed for their kids so they can sleep.

And who soothes the kids after a nightmare? - I think both would; both would be the type to be the best soothers when it comes to nightmares since they as kids probably didn’t have anyone to comfort them. (T^T)

Who wants to throw out the car seat because the stupid thing won’t strap in? - Karma lmao

Who cries on the first day of school? - Karma (NFSIWEF PLEASE-) But Shuu would too when he gets home bc he will be like "my babies are going to schoollll T^T" with a mix of "I miss them so much"

Who gets the kids into the local sports team? - IMAGINE KARMA AS AN COMPETETIVE PARENT ON THOSE PARENTS AND KIDS GAMES AND MY GOD- HE WOULD BE A B E A S T.

And who’s the parent that gets way too aggressive at these games? - KARMA AGAIN BUT SHUU WON'T HESITATE TO CHEER FOR THEM ❤️❤️

Who lets the kids stay up and watch movies and who sends them to bed? - Karma would let them stay up late but there must be a good reason, like studying late or maybe Saturday/Sunday night to watch movies. Shuu on the other hand says when it comes to studying for example: "Grades are important, but sleep is more important so please go rest" (Also this quote is actually from my own parents <3) (I love Shuu so much he would be an ‘A+++’ parent)

Who sneaks candy to the kids before school, whilst the other pretends not to notice? - Karmaaaaa buttt~

On maybe special days, Shuu would as well and then the kids are like "We had two portions of sweets today, dad!" and Shuu is like: "What-" and that would be the way he would find out that Karma has been sneaking candy into the bags of their kids for the past years-

Who is the parent that yells at the kid for being called to the principal’s office and who is the parent who yells at the principal? - O H, THEY SHALL N E V E R YELL AT THE KIDS OMG- PLS- THEY WOULD LITERALLY R I P O P E N THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE DOOR AND KICK THIS MF- ESPECIALLY SHUU BC HE HAS THE FEELING OF HIS FATHER STILL BEING A PRINCIPAL SO HE HITS ESPECIALLY HARD 💪🏼💪🏼

Who teaches their son to tie a tie and who explains periods to their daughter? - Shuu teaches the tie bc even Karma can't do it on his own to his tie, and when it comes to periods then both would explain it and maybe if they fail lol Auntie Rio to rescue ❤️😩

Who cries at graduation? - Both lolol But fr now, they would be so excited for it?? Bc I'm sure that (yes Shuus father was the principal but what if Gakuho wasn't a principal, he wouldn't attend Gakushuus graduation ceremony? I made myself cry one again- God damnit.) they would be there with small gifts, and photo cameras all excited bc woahhh my kid is so big now <3 as well as they would take them somewhere as a celebration ❤️❤️ They would be amazing

Who reads the book in silly voices? - Karma, and while he is doing so, Shuu is maybe sitting in the living room and is listening and chuckles under his breath (what a cutie)

Who’s the one against sweets before dinner and who lets it slide? - Shuu is against it but Karma says "Let them be~ But. they have to brush their teeth later on"

Who gets rid of the monster in the closet and under the bed? - PleASE- Karma would make a mf circus out of it, like he would play it off as if the monster is eating his hand (which isn't good bc their kids started crying anddd shuu got a little bit mad) but they managed to 'defeat' the monster.

Which parent sneaks veggies into the kids’ dinner and who doesn’t like veggies themselves? - Both like veggies~

ok so i was tagged by the lovely @lexiklecksi for the 11/11/11 tag, the rules are: answer the 11 questions she asked me, make up my own 11 questions and then tag 11 ppl to answer those (so if you want you can skip to the questions at the bottom lmao). however as a fair warning: this got Way too long probably bc im rambly today. i tried to limit the stream of consciousness but….

1. current musical obsession: Frank Ocean and related sort of neo-r&b stuff - while writing this im also discovering Childish Gambino’s “Awaken, My Love!” (and also the song Golden Brown, but not bc im listening to it but bc im learning it on both guitar and piano)

2. 3 things i always take with me:

- wallet (or at least my id)

- phone (&earphones)

- cigarettes&lighter

3. what (or who) i miss most in lockdown: i dont rly remember? im so used to the situation by now that i kind of forget to miss what i did when things were “normal”... but i guess going to bars w/ friends, and just being able to go shopping when i need smth

4. pick: either only read 1 book or only read books picked by someone else: i wouldn’t be able to only read one book for the rest of my life! so definitely the second option (esp if i can pick the person who picks the books)

5. why i found your blog/followed you and if i intend to stay: uhh you followed me and when i checked your blog i liked the vibe i guess? also you were v nice in the tags of my music stuff! also ya i like it here, so im staying for a while

6. when and why did i last cry: i genuinely dont know for sure.. the last time i specifically remember crying was my granddad’s funeral, which is three yrs ago this month, but i do know ive cried once or twice since then, i just dont remember for sure when and why.

wait i do remember, i think the last time was when i saw Richard Says Goodbye (live music and movies or books are basically the only reason i rly cry, im not an emotional crier, dont know why).

7. who holds the key to my heart: my partner of five (and a bit) years, whom i love Very Much! (although ofc my heart is not locked, i have so much love to give, just romantically i am very much taken)

8, pick one: star wars/star trek, dobby/gollum, white/black magic, flying/teleportation, time travel: past/future?

- Star Wars

- Gollum (even though i have read hp but still havent read lotr, ive read the hobbit like 4 times tho)

- i think the hard dichotomy btwn white/black magic or like light/dark and good/bad in most fiction is often v flawed bc thats not how the world works, everything is grey areas (e.g. the Jedi are not better than the Sith, both have deeply flawed philosophies). the Force (or any magic for that matter) is not inherently good or evil, it just is. nature isnt abt good or evil, isnt abt opposites but abt balance.

and especially if you work with the occult and magical, i think thats all abt walking the edge between light and dark, life and death, night and day, good and bad etc…

so to answer the question: grey magic lmao, its all abt balance

- teleportation i think, bc while flying is very cool, i think teleportation has more practical uses (although also has danger involved, such as what happens if you teleport into a space that is already occupied by a person or an object? but for the sake of argument, prolly teleportation)

- do not even get me started on time travel.. the implications of time travel to the past are…… complicated to say the least (it only works if you believe in hard determinism, which i wholly do not). so in a practical sense, def to the future (although that is also Problematic within the constraints of our four-dimensional universe/experience).

in a philosophical sense though, ignoring all the paradoxes and laws of time and space, id still pick the future (or maybe no time travel at all), bc i think the past is the past for a reason. we remember it, we learn from it, but ultimately we must leave it behind.

my philosophical problem with traveling to the future is more that you cant just. skip life. so if you travel to the future, it has to be way beyond your own life and direct influence, or youll interfere with yourself and your own future, and thats scientifically, psychologically /and/ philosophically a v bad idea all round, i think.

9. which thoughts keep me awake at night: almost never specific thoughts, but quite often anxiety abt the near future. but theres no like, lingering issues that keep me awake.

10. what id do with you if we were locked up together for 24hrs: i think i’d really like to write with you! make poetry, song lyrics, make art! bc we could rly learn from each other i think and also we could just rly pick each others brain abt mundane, important and transcendental stuff ya know?

11. ask anything: do you have concrete, long term plans for the future, maybe even backup plans? a clear vision of how the rest of your life is going to go? or are you more the type to do what makes you happy now and figure it out as you go along?

my own questions (large variation in vibes and weight, i know):

describe your favourite colour using other senses (like what sound, smell, feeling or w/e do you associate with it)

what’s the best thing that happened to you in the last week, last month and last year?

what’s the one thing/what are the things that help(s) you get up in the moring and keep putting one foot in front of the other?

are you a leftie? (warning: there is a correct answer)

do you play/have you ever played a musical instrument? (and for the sake of completeness, yes i am counting singing as well)

do you have one thing (e.g. a song, movie, book or smth else) that never fails to bring you joy?

do you have one (or more) person(s) you feel you could still hit up after ten yrs of radio silence and you’d still vibe?

what’s your favourite song lyric/line from a poem/quote? and why?

who was your first celebrity crush? (if you’ve ever had one obvsly)

what’s smth you’re looking forward to? could be specific, could be a general thing like a driver’s licence or your own apartment or w/e

this one is specifically to feed my curiosity, indulge me: why did you follow me?

congrats, you’ve managed to reach the end! again, very sorry for the rambles, thanks for sticking around. im tagging @alt-heidi, @terdiscussie, @a-soul-to-cling-to, @ontvreemd, @sarahhnghae and i guess whoever fuckin feels like it? i literally can’t think of 11 ppl on this hell site, so if i forgot you its not personal. if we’re mutuals you’re especially tagged.

#this was v fun actually #i was tagged to do this like 3 weeks ago but ya know #adhd and stuff #i actually have another one in my backlog as well #i think ill look into that as well now

just finished writing this and realized how long it got oh jeez i am so sorry. i promise it is just me rambling about nothing and does not require a lot of thought.

i made a playlist of r5's entire discography and am listening to it (in order) because there is something wrong with me. if only it had their very first ever ep on it (ready set rock ep you may have been slight garbage but i don't love you any less for it). oh god i realized i fucked up and didn't add the songs by "ross lynch and r5" from the austin & ally soundtrack. i'm already three songs into louder and they would have been between louder and say you'll stay. what do i have to do is actually one of r5's best songs and i'm pretty sure i remember ross calling it one of his favs fairly recently?? which was so valid of him. anyways. this is now an r5 song ranking. i'm bored and avoiding doing assignments. i'm going to name my top 10 r5 songs off the top of my head. source: me trying to remember every song they've ever released.

no. 1: easy love. nothing comes close. my fav song they ever made. they haven't made anything that even compares since (this is /hj. tde has some valid songs).

no. 2: wishing i was 23. what do you mean i only love this song because of my nostalgia bias no i don't.

no. 3: what do i have to do? i will not elaborate i do not know why i adore this song as much as i do it's just a cute song.

no. 4: repeating days. THE END. THE FUCKING END AFTER THE SONG ENDS THE "all i've got is cheap wine" PART ross sounds so vulnerable and him with just the guitar makes me so :(((((( it's so gorgeous that part makes the whole song and that makes it top 3 for me.

no. 5: i want u bad. THAT SONG FUCKS LIVE. I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT I WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE IT LIVE AGAIN. (speaking of concerts i can't believe you bought concert tix and fucking forgot??? that is actually so fucking funny bella it made me laugh i will not lie)

no. 6: dark side. so so valid of them. it just fucks. it's so good. it makes u want to dance. u named a fic after a lyric from it which was so valid.

no. 7: did you have your fun? i love this song. no i will not elaborate. it is a sexy song. what's that one lyric from it that's hot. "love me, leave me, left me numb" some lyrics you love for no particular reason and for me that's one of those lyrics.

no. 8: f.e.e.l.g.o.o.d. this has alwayysss been one of my favs by them. since it dropped. some lore about it: the like crowd yelling that's in it they recorded live at a festival they played and i remember there being hype about this being an unreleased song when they had the crowd chanting "f-e-e-l-g-o-o-d" with no explanation. also another fun fact is that the final version of this is just a demo?? source: my slightly faulty memory remembering ross saying something about some demos being so good that you keep them as they are and it later being revealed this was the song he was talking about.

no. 9: i know you got away. sexy song. they released a vocals only version of it (that has apparently since been deleted?? i went to look for it on youtube and couldn't find it?? wtf r5) that has stuck with me ever since.

no. 10: loud. but more specifically the acoustic or live version. this was their encore song that they played to end every show. i MISS IT. it holds a special place in my heart.

honorable mentions: hurts good (a good song and THEIR LAST THEY EVER RELEASED VV SAD), wild hearts (fun fact almost picked a lyric from this song as my senior quote till i found out they didn't write this song), fallin' for you (YOU LIKE MISMATCHED SOCKS WITH POLKA DOTS YOU LIKE YOUR PIZZA COLD I THINK THATS HOT i never saw this song live and i'm still fucking pissed about it ok), do it again (it's such a sweet song :(((( "listen to the airplanes as we count the stars" gives me the same vibes as six feet under the stars), things are looking up (generally just a cute song!! this whole ep is just very good and very cute!! when i saw it live one time during the bridge ross was like "everyone shut up this is my favorite part >:(" and that was so valid of him) i can't say i'm in love (it's just a fun song!! it was a bonus track on sln from another country), trading time (this is the only song from the new addictions ep that i listed and u know what i'm Not sorry)

ok. i will spare you and stop rambling. other honorable mentions: if you have never listened to cool girl (feat. the driver era) by new beat fund i highly recommend. it's an okay song but it was one of the first songs released after they rebranded as tde and includes ross saying motherfucker with his whole chest. i will never again feel what i felt the first time i heard that song having listened exclusively to them as r5 whose songs they couldn't curse in because they were on a disney label.

in conclusion. i miss r5. ross saying fuck is kinda hot. i listened to the entirety of louder while writing this. i am sorry to dump this in your askbox. i still have multiple assignments to do and should probably go to sleep at a decent time. it feels fitting to finally stop writing while easy love is on. when i was 12 and this ep came out i thought "dirtbags" was a curse word and was scared to sing it. they changed it to "douchebags" live.

that's all. goodbye. have a lovely night. listen to r5's discography for clear skin thriving crops etc etc. sorry to lovepost about them in your askbox i only have (1) former r5 mutual that i still talk to (a very interesting but long story. she's the gemini bestie) and she will only lovepost about r5 once in a while. feel free to ignore my ask calling cody bellinger hot i was a different person when i wrote it i am now a changed woman. LOVE YOU MWAH - bella but she misses r5

hi hi im going to answer this with minimal thought because im tired but i dont wanna leave this sitting in my inbox forever but for the record all your r5 opinions are valid. ok lets go

1. easy love slaps ive heard it a couple times over the last few days (it played in the car today while i was driving sam n meghna to the airport) and it does fuck i can see why it's your fave

2. i do not know this song

3. A BOP A WHOLE FUCKIN BOP

4. oh i do love repeating days great choice i would have to hear it a few more times to get it in my head but i remember really liking it when i listened to the album it's on

5. also a banger and i'm glad my concert tickets situation made you laugh it made me laugh too imagine being this useless gldskfjgs

6. DARK SIDE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS GIVE IN TO YOUR DARK SIDE YOUR DARK SIDE IIIIIIIII SEE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT MEEEEE

7. ANOTHER FUCKING BANGER this one is probably among my favorite r5 songs maybe top 5 LOVE ME LEAVE ME LEFT ME NUMB (guitar moment) DID YOU HAVE YOUR FUUUuuuuUUUUUNNNNN i feel the same way about this lyric as you

8. oh shit thats pretty cool i dont know this song tbh i cant remember how it goes i know ive heard it once or twice but. id have to listen to it again so i will keep you posted on that

9. i do not know this one either

10. interesting choice for top ten but i support you, this song fucks and ever since you mentioned it it's been in my subconscious and randomly getting stuck in my head i think i need to listen to it to get it out. it does hit ur right

11. i don't know hurts good or wild hearts or things are looking up or i can't say i'm in love or trading time well enough to say anything about them. but i really like fallin for you it's one of those cheap fun songs but emphasis on fun, and also really like do it again one day ill write a fic based on that song

i have not listened to cool girl i put it on my to listen playlist so hopefully i remember to listen to it soon ill be honest though i dont think im prepared for ross lynch saying motherfucker w his whole chest like i think itll take me out. so. anyway. i hope you got your assignments done. thank you for the r5 lovedump feel free to drop in anytime with more

#this is a love-positive zone #we love love #here on clumsyclifford we support insane obsessions because we also have insane obsessions #ask #cubs anon #anonymous #lol i was telling my dad that i talked to rian and zack but said the most generic things ever #and i was like. i mean there were things that i would have wanted to ask but if i had then they would have known that--#-- im like super obsessed with them in a kind of creepy way. like i wanted to ask rian what time alex was born #...so we can figure out his rising sign so we can make his star chart #and my dad was like . why would you need that #and i said. you know for funsies #he was like do you think he would even know that #and i said well in our collective opinions we think alex wouldnt know what time he was born but rian and/or jack probably would #and my dad was like its a good thing you didnt ask him that. it would have been creepy.#and i was like I KNOW THATS WHY I DIDNT ASK BECAUSE I KNEW IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CREEPY BRO #so anyway #i dont remember why i started telling this story #its 1am im so tired ive had the longest two days ever #i need sleep im going to die #i cant believe classes in two days #end me

Favorite piece of Pre-Collapse tech(if they've seen any): She's really interested in the Exominds, partly by being one and wanting to know how she works.

Favorite Pre-Collapse music(if they've heard any): She likes metal and lo-fi.

Favorite place in The Last City(if it's a place you created, give a little description!): The gardens in the Last City, she likes to walk around them with Ghost. She also likes to be directly beneath the Traveler.

Favorite NPC(s): Crow, Ikora, Elsie, and Osiris.

Your Guardian has to rest. What is their living space like: Her dorm is pretty clean, but she doesn't make a lot of messes either way. She has lots of little artifacts and trinkets.

Does your Guardian have any casual wear?(Y'all remember Polyvore? The website URSTYLE works very similar if that helps!): She likes flowy robes, skirts, and turtle necks.

What hobbies and/or skills does your Guardian have: She loves to cook, and loves cooking for others.

What would your Guardian's lore book be called: Probably something like "The Guardian with no Name".

Where was your Guardian reborn?(If you created the location, give us a little description!): She was rezzed in the Cosmodrome (I like to stay pretty lore based), and was there for a couple months before fixing up a ship.

What were they wearing when they were reborn: She was wearing almost threadbare clothes, just a sweater, pants, and shoes. Ghost helped her find better Warlock armor.

What was their reaction to being reborn: She was surprisingly calm, despite not being able to remember anything, like her name.

What was their reaction to their first rez: She didn't like the feeling. It made her feel cold, but the feeling eventually subsided more as she died again and again.

After being reborn, did they meet friendlies first or hostiles: Hostiles, lots of Eliksni where she was rezzed.

Who was the first other Guardian they met?(Same thing! If you made them, give a little description!): The first Guardians she really met met was Sloane and Zavala on Titan, during the Red War.

Did your Guardian get reborn with, or find, any indication of their past life? If so what do they have/found: 2 was rezzed with no memories, which was unheard of for an Exo. She only knew her reboot number, 2, by two lines carved into her collar bone. She then found evidence on Europa of her memory bank being deleted by Clovis Bray for witnessing an inhumane experiment.

How did your Guardian get their name(if they didn't rez with past life momentos): She took on her reboot number when her Ghost found it, he said it fit her. "The Second Young Wolf" was given to her by the Young Wolf themself. They had lost their Ghost and were bleeding out in the Last City during the Red War. Upon seeing 2 come to their aid, they said they had a vision of her, and dubbed her the second. Ghost used footage of this to tell the Vanguard after the Red War.

Going back to your Guardian's lore book, what would be some some quotes or passages from their book: "This Guardian thought she was cursed. Everywhere she went, something bad happened. Arrived at the Last City, Cabal attacked. Went to the Prison of Elders, Cayde was killed. Went to the Dreaming City, a curse consumed it."

Does your Guardian have a significant other: It may sound weird, but she and her Ghost are together! She sees herself more as a machine than a human mind now, like Ghosts do. While she's still a "human" in an Exo body, she's never known anything else in her life.

Did your Guardian go explore first before going to The Last City? If so, where to: She and her Ghost were stranded in the Cosmodrome for about 2 months before they found enough parts to fix a ship. They explored the ruins, and kept to themselves.

What was their reaction to first seeing The Last City: She was devastated at seeing the Cabal overtake this place she had heard was beautiful. She just saw fire and large Cabal ships.

Is your Guardian a part of a clan: Not really, no. She likes to join others in fireteams but never stays long. However she usually runs with Miriam and Leo.

If your Guardian would have a quote as a flavor text for a weapon and/or piece of armor, what would they be: "The Darkness, combined with the Light, is a force to be reckoned with." -2, Exo Warlock.

If your Guardian has had any interactions with any civilians (The Last City/The Farm), Eliksni, Cabal, Vex, Hive, Taken, Scorn, Rouge Lightbearers, or Iron Lords/War Lords(if your Guardian is an Old Light) tell us about it!: She likes to show the children in the city tricks with her Light, and teaches them new dances.

Does your Guardian have any unconventional allies or connections(By Vanguard standards): She's pretty close to Drifter, and even pledged her allegiance to him instead of the Vanguard. He's a useful ally. She also knows some Eliksni thanks to Miriam-46 and her work with The Spider.

How does your Guardian feel about themselves or others using Stasis: She feels like it's right, that it's ok to use if you dont abuse it. The fact that she wields both the Dark and the Light, sometimes at the same time, shows that it can happen and that others can do it.

Is your Guardian from D1? How did they react to seeing Taniks alive once again: She is not.

Where did they go and what did they do during The Red War: She tried to find the Vanguard, and tried to help as many people as she could after she got her Light back from the Shard.

Here are some characters that are either polarizing or have created a strong enough mass emotion within the community. What opinion does your Guardian hold on each of them(These are only a handful of characters!)>>>

Osiris, First Warlock Vanguard, originally exiled: Gay Grandpa. She respects him quite a lot, and talks to him about anything when she goes to see him, especially after Sagira sacrificed herself.

Eris Morn, Bane of the Swarm: She holds high respect for her. She feels horrible about what happened to her, but she's glad Eris has been able to talk to others. If anything, she fears her a little too.

Cayde-6, Sixth Hunter Vanguard: One of her only Exo friends who knew a little bit about the exo's past. She used to tell him everything, her patrols, her stories, Ghost would even show him recordings of them. She misses him.

Ikora Rey, Second Warlock Vanguard: 2 calls her the "Collective Mother", because she's always been open to New Lights. 2 turns to her for anything, and she knows Ikora has her back through anything. At least, she hopes she does.

Commander Zavala, Second Titan Vanguard: She held high respect for him during the Red War. When Cayde died, she lost that respect for him when he disapproved on her acts. That trust and respect has slowly been building again since.

Saint-14, legendary Titan, First Titan Vanguard: Again, Gay Grandpa. She loves to just be around Saint, and feed the birds with him. They don't talk too much, just appreciating the hangar.

Lord Saladin, Iron Banner handler, One of the last remaining Iron Lords: She's never really liked him, even if he's the reason behind her namesake. He's been too bloody for her, and she doesn't like Iron Banner.

Lord Shaxx, Crucible handler, Hero of Twilight Gap, living megaphone: Whenever she needs a pick me up, she goes to Shaxx. She loves his personality and loves the Crucible.

The Crow, New Light, Ex-Enforcer to The Spider: After what happened with Uldren, 2's been living in guilt. She feels like the Traveler gave both her and Uldren/Crow another chance, so she's doing everything in her power to better Crow and herself. She kinda took on a maternal role for him, making sure he has the best gear he can and that no stray Guardian will hurt him.

The Spider, The Shore's Only Law, founder of "House" Spider: Ohoho where do I start. She's always hated Spider for how he treated Ghosts and NEVER took her own out around him. How he was treating Crow was the last straw for her and his partnership. She's still friends, however, with another Guardian Spider has employed, Miriam-46.

Uldren Sov, Prince of the Reef, Master of Crows: She wasn't ever too fond of Uldren when she heard the stories about him. She was so angry when he killed Cayde, that it clouded her judgement. Uldren needed help, and in the end, he was right about Mara being alive.

Mara Sov, Queen of the Reef, Queen of the Awoken, Ex-Kell of Wolves: 2 has never liked her. She finds her snobby and just plain rude. She doesn't like how Mara talks down to others and thinks she's better than others.

Variks, the Loyal, founder of House Judgement: At first, 2 blamed Variks for the Prison of Elders, but after getting to know him and his cause, she warmed up to him.

Mithrax, the Forsaken, Kell of Light, founder of House Light: She's only met him a couple of times, but respects him none the less. She hopes they can get more Eliksni to join the House of Light.

The Exo Stranger/Elizabeth "Elsie" Bray, Granddaughter of Clovis I and Sister to Ana Bray: 2's very thankful that Elsie's taking the time to show people the Darkness, and really appreciates her. While this Elsie isn't our timelines Elsie, she knew about 2's memory bank, and tipped her off to it.

Eramis, of House Salvation, Kell of Darkness: 2 wonders that, if she didn't have the support of Ghost and Elsie, would she have turned out like Eramis? Seeing the Darkness seduce someone like that was unnerving, and she wants to do everything in her power to correct it.

Empress Caiatl of the Cabal Imperial Empire: 2 thinks the Cabal should just surrender. They're running their troops thin in the hopes that the Guardians will cave, and they most likely won't. Sometimes, 2 doesn't want to fight anymore. She respects Caiatl as a warrior, and nothing else.

Taniks the Scarred, the Perfected, the Abomination, the Shadow Thief: HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE, she's just, yeah she doesn't like him.

The Darkness is fast approaching. How is your Guardian handling it: She may not show it, but she's kinda scared. She knows that she and Ghost are destined to die one day, and she's dreading the day she gets the sword. She hopes that her decisions will change that fate.

And finally, does your Guardian have any advice for any New Lights: Don't get too close to an enemy when you shoot a rocket at it, and don't let your emotions get the best of you. Go at your own pace, we don't need you New Lights getting hurt or doing something dumb.

How are you feeling about THE BEST FINALE OF ALL FINALES???

YES IT IS THE BEST FINALE I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER!!!!

Wow. People said it was good, but I didn’t think it would be this good!

Ok my notes are on both parts so here we go:

-The princesses kick ass in the first part! Like, yeah, go destroy those robots! And Entrapta just hacking the tech. I may have been whisper-shouting « come on Entrapta! » the entire time.

-Wrong Hordak trying to go undercover is comedy gold.

-Poor Adora. She’s really struggling because she wants to self sacrifice and be heroic, but deep down she doesn’t want to.

-Glimmer and Bow are great in this! I love them standing by Adora until the end, and then when they go back to the surface, THEY CONFESSED THEIR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER!!!!!!!!

Took them long enough. It’s been obvious for ages.

-And then HORDE PRIME TOOK ENTRAPTA AND I WAS LIKE NOOO!!!!!

-But I survived by watching Catra go back to try and save Adora because she finally realized that that’s what she cares about. Also she yelled at Shadow Weaver and totally called her out.

-WE GOT CATRA RIDING MELOG!

-Glimmer killed a bunch of bots! W E S T A N B A D A S S G L I M M E R!!

And then by the end of Part 1 EVERYTHING WAS GOING WRONG!!!!!!!

Part 2:

-Sea Hawk and Mermista were so cute!!!! I love them both, individually and as a couple, and Sea Hawk was so great here! He’s usually played for humor, but here he’s just being so sweet and honest.

-And then when Bow unchips everyone Scorpia was being Scorpia.

« Oh my god! Did I hurt you? I am so sorry, I did not mean to do that! »

I love her. I do wish we’d gotten a Scorfuma scene in this though. Even just a few seconds of dialogue. We did see them together, but I feel like they could’ve made room for a bit more.

-Glimmer defeating Micah! I predicted it, but I was still cheering!

« My mother raised me to be brave. My friends taught me to be kind. And I’m stubborn. I get that from you. And I will never stop fighting. »

I probably got that wrong, but I’ve always liked Glimmer and I love her development so this was nice to see.

-Hordak standing up to Horde Prime to save Entrapta! YES! I love Entrapta and I want her to be happy, so yes. I ship them.

-Also Spinny and Netossa were around and being adorable as usual. I love them.

OKAY THE EXCITING PART:

-So we have our last « Hey Adora » of the show when Catra shows up to, y’know, save Adora’s life. This was technically in Part 1 I think but whatever. I was squealing.

-Shadow Weaver sacrificing herself. While I’m glad that she did it because Catra didn’t die, I still don’t like her. I can’t. And while her sacrifice is noble, her motivation is unclear. I’m not sure I buy that she cares enough about Catra to do that for that purpose.

-Also, when Catra’s about to get killed by the monster thing, Horde Prime asks her if it was worth it. I would’ve liked to hear her answer, but I think it’s pretty clear.

Because...

-SHE DID IT!!! She stared her trauma right in the face, and she didn’t run away. She realized what she wanted, what Adora wanted, and she expected Adora to die, but she stayed anyway.

In Season 1, Adora makes a choice to leave and offers that choice to Catra, but Catra refuses because she’s hurt. Now, Adora makes a choice to leave in a different way, and she actively tells Catra to leave, but she doesn’t. She stays.

CHARACTER GROWTH!!!

Also, everyone is married in Adora’s perfect future. Just saying.

And then my favorite scene in the whole show. I haven’t seen it enough times to quote it word for word.

« You’ve never given up on anything in your life. Not even on me. So don’t you dare start now! »

« Don’t you get it? I love you! I always have! »

« So please, just this once, stay! »

And then she opens her eyes. We love a dramatic eye opening from an injured/dying character. Just like Catra in Save the Cat!

« Stay. »

I was squealing.

« You love me? »

« You’re such an idiot. »

« I love you too. »

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

AND THEN THEY KISS! And I wasn’t expecting it because of censoring, but IT HAPPENED!!!!

And then THE WORLD IS SAVED BY LESBIAN LOVE!!!!!

And all my dreams came true!

I’m gonna miss this show, but it ended on such a great note, how can I complain?

I’m going to say this one time about Cullen and that’s it. And my opinion will be out there and done. This is not a negative post. But this is a long post so buckle up babes.

*warning for use of language because I swear like a sailor*

*also brief mention of rape*

Anyway, Cullen is a perfect example of poor planning in the gaming industry.

He is also a perfect example of fans thirsting so hard and wanting something so bad that the writers and developers change a character and even game elements to suite their needs. They didn’t even give him a book or a comic for redemption. You know what they did instead? They switched writers. Cullen has three writers. All of them with a different character in mind.

Cullen was a fucked up mess in Origins. He was meant to be creepy and sociopathic. I get that. The writer who basically created him had no idea he was even going to be not only a reoccurring character, but one that was going to be romance able in future games. She even apologized. Which wasn’t necessary. And so many people who played the game missed a big point about Cullen. He was never supposed to recover from Origins.

“The young templar Cullen never quite recovered from his ordeal. After months of attempting to convince his superiors that the tower was still a danger, he finally snapped and killed three apprentices before being stopped by his fellow templars. Eventually, Cullen escaped from prison, a madman and a threat to any mage he encountered.”

“Once the tower was rebuilt, Knight-Commander Greagoir stepped down from his post and retired to a life of private contemplation as a brother in the Chantry. His health failed over time, and after refusing treatment, he perished in his sleep. Knight-Commander Cullen was said to be more strict and less trusting of the mages even than Greagoir was. He ruled the Circle with fear.”

I’m sorry. But yeah. That’s the epilogue on two different choices involving the Circle’s fate in Origins. And it was ignored. I agree with that, too. But it wasn’t just Cullen that was ignored. It was the entire Circle at Kinloch Hold. If the mage warden sacrifices their own life, the Circle is supposedly free. Which... is not mentioned... ever again. And not to mention is impossible? Like okay thanks Anora or whoever but I don’t think you can just do that.

Poor writing.

I’d also like to mention for the record I did not like Cullen in Origins. I still don’t.

Now, I don’t know why exactly Cullen was brought back in DA2? I know his writer got bullied out of Bioware. I do not have an opinion on that. I mean the woman co-wrote my favorite part of Origins (Anvil of the Void). She also wrote Anders. Which I don’t think is a coincidence. People, men and women, often have this idea of fixing a broken person. It’s heavily romanticized. It’s called codependency. And you see it a lot in romance novels. But that’s another topic. It seems this writer implemented that in the game (along with some of her own personal things she had) without fully knowing Cullen would even be a romantic interest in Inquisition, but also still wanting to give him some sort reason to be desired. And all the while knowing Anders was fully romanceable. Even... a little forcefully... romanceable... if I may add... (I am uncomfortable) I also dislike some of Anders’ writing but that’s another post and I don’t want to compare the two. But Anders was the opposite side of Cullen that was done better because they had time to write it.

Regardless, Cullen seemed to hold some resemblance to his former character. But we do see a lot hesitance with him. He’s basically that “good” cop that doesn’t do anything when the bad cop is beating the shit out of everyone. Still not good, hence the quotes. Not a good guy. He has his meh he’s alright moments. And seems to generally disregard Hawke in every single way. But he’s still an ass hole for letting things happen the way that they did when he could very much so have put a stop to it. Maybe it was the writers’ intention to make it that way to show he was still suffering from trauma in Origins.

Again. Poor writing. BECAUSE WE DON’T KNOW. DIDN’T HE KILL THREE PEOPLE, BIOWARE? ISN’T HE SUPPOSED TO BE KNIGHT COMMANDER IN FERELDEN, B I O W A R E??? WHAT. HAPPENED. BIOWARE.

So here’s the next thing. They decided to slip him into Inquisition for whatever reason. His writing was fair enough in DA2. Could have been better. But these people are still thirsty. They want some Curly. At the last minute, they throw romance on him. Not a bad idea. But are we supposed to forget the man was basically raped by desire demons? Is he even ok to have a relationship? OH WAIT THAT’S RIGHT. We didn’t closure on that because they ignored it.

Anyway, Cullen in Inquisition seems to be different. But because they couldn’t just, oh I don’t know, write a different character with the same traits but better, they had to somehow put the events of the previous games and how it affected him into this new current game where he supposed to be... better? Ish? Which is where we get the stereo type soldier with PTSD and a substance abuse problem. Now, if you’re any good with imagining and writing fanfic, then you probably know or already have figured out a way to connect everything better than Bioware could. But hey. Last minute romance written in on a character who was already all over the charts? Count me in. I like a good writing challenge. Poor girl who took the job of writing Inquisition Cullen likes a challenge too, apparently. Because it was her first big project. And she didn’t do a bad job. But imagine working hard on trying to write a character half the fandom hates into someone somewhat likeable just for everyone to shit all over it.

The way I look at it.... we have three different characters. And he is not really a good example to look at analyze wise. He is inconsistent. And was molded for Inquisition for thirsty fan girls. And some boys (I see you). A good example for study would be Morrigan. Or even Alistair. And Alistair is in several of the comics and still remains pretty consistent. Leliana is a prime example of character development over a course of three games. And I highly recommend you fall in love with her good and bad side because she is written beautifully. Don’t @ me.

Cullen, and I mean Inquisition Cullen, has a lot to like. And a lot to dislike. Every character is flawed. I think a lot of hate that gets tagged onto Cullen is really from poor writing. They really got lazy with him. And it is a shame. I feel like he could have been redeemed way better. He could have had one hell of a redemption. Or possibly just skipped over all together. I see a lot of posts about putting Samson in his place and I often agree. It was never quite the character that made him appealing to me. It was the personality. And they could have easily done with anyone. They could have made Samson sexy, too. It didn’t have to be sexy Cullen. And let’s face it. With Cullen’s writing in Origins and even some of the writing in DA2, Cullen siding with Coryphedouche is way more fitting than Samson.

Basically, it is up to us to fill in the gaps. So I love seeing fanfic with Cullen backstory. Because it gives better insight than what the writers could accomplish. And I applaud you if you’ve done that. BUT the over sexualization of this character is a bit... wrong. It feels wrong. And that’s all I’ll say to that. Personally, I’ve been working on some Cullen romance fic for awhile and it’s been challenging trying to find a way to make him less douchey. One minute, he’s yelling at you about mages. And the next, he’s got this soft tone and nervous look. Like, yeah... you can tell it’s rushed. And awful. And even the dialogue is just... painful. It doesn’t fit. (you can check my Cullen tag in blog to see how I feel about that). I will say that even speaking to him on a personal note, asking him questions about life as a templar, he even says he does not agree with the Order. And he wants to change his thinking. But he still gets angry when you go to side with the mages. It feels like they wanted redeem him but they also needed someone to side with the templars to provide conflict at the war table.

So in my opinion, calling him controlling and abusive is a bit of a stretch. He was clearly used by the writers. It just seems ridiculous to put so much effort in bashing the character when clearly... he was not planned out... or put together... I just... I don’t get...

I know what you’re thinking at this point: Kay.... why do you like him then?

Beacause. I am weak for a man who gets nervous around girls he likes. His awkward mannerisms despite being a man of power makes me weak. The need to protect also makes me weak. But also the ability to admit vulnerability makes me suuuuuper weak. So like I said. There was a lot there. It just was not delivered correctly. You know what I would have done? If I had to put him in the Commander shoes, I would have made the whole Kirkwall thing a life changer for him. Maybe even give him a soul searching type situation before joining the Inquisition. And definitely tell him to keep his mouth shut about siding with the templars.

Long story short: Ya’ll thirsted over a weird dude in Origins and Bioware went hmmmm okay. But by the time they gave him to you on a silver plate, it was last minute. Like you just found out your crush Jared is going to Becky’s party but you’re already at Jessica’s house and have like nothing to wear so you have to just wing it. And your shoes look tacky, but Jessica’s shoes don’t fit. So you either have to wear shoes that don’t fit or just look like omg total garbage. And Bioware went with the shoes that don’t fit. And Jared totally likes them.

I’m also going to say the most controversial thing on this entire post by just... saying... by calling Cullen out as trash without realizing the writing, the directive, the lack of development, the rush on this character, and the complete absolute bullying this community does to it’s FANS AND WRITERS kind of feels like you didn’t really put any effort into understanding why and just jumped on a band wagon. And the fact that some of you make other people feel bad for liking this character is awful. Some of the most toxic shit I’ve seen. Like maybe they like this character from Inquisition because, I don’t know, maaaaaaybe he was written out almost like a new character with a last minute fantasy romance.. because he kind of was...

Now for my opinion on Greg Ellis.

FUCK THAT GUY.

And that’s it. Thanks for stopping by. If you agree cool, if not cool. I’m not here to argue with anyone or say your opinion is invalid. We all have reasons why we hate or love the color blue. So we can all disagree or agree and live in peace and still love a game.

You can always message me, too, guys. I have a lot of opinions. And reasons for my opinions. And theories. And just things in general. But I will not hate characters written in Dragon Age. Someone wrote them. Someone is out there working their ass off to deliver a character. And I refuse to hate someone fictional.

Hey, Im not sure if you already got any requests for this but could you do the Relationship Alphabet with Obi-Wan? Tysm!!! 💕💕💕

*Cracks Knuckles*

A- Activity (What is their favorite activity to do with you.)

Obi-Wan likes do yoga and meditating with you. It’s how he feels one with the force, and even though you may or may not feel the force as deeply as he does, he likes being able to share those moments with you and help you find your own inner balance.

B- Beginnings (How do they act in the beginning of a relationship)

He’s very hesitant. He doesn’t want to get too attached because of the code. At first it’s very clear that if he had to choose, he wouldn’t choose you, but that slowly starts to change throughout the relationship, mainly because of a fight where you complained that he wasn’t giving it his all and he realized that you were right. Then you asked if he really wanted to do this and he said yes and since then he’s been all in.

C- Communication (Are they good communicators? How do they normally talk about their problems or solve issues)

They don’t call him the negotiator for no reason. He’s very good at communicating. Whenever there’s a problem, he usually tries to find a compromise that everyone could agree to.

D- Drunk (What are they like when they’re drunk)

He insists that he’s not drunk. He’s very affectionate. He’ll call you darling and give you a string of slightly coherent compliments.

E- Emergency (How are they in emergency situations? You get hurt, they get hurt, someone is dying etc..)

Obi-Wan works surprisingly well under pressure. If someone gets hurt, he’s doing very well at keeping himself in check, although on the inside he’s breaking. He’s trying to be strong for you.

F- Free Spot (I’ll give you any headcanon I come up with)

If you’re out super late, he stays up to wait for you. He looks like a dad waiting for their teenaged daughter to get home with his glasses sliding down his nose as he reads, but he’s not mad. He just can’t sleep until he knows you’re home safe.

G- Gifts (What kind of gifts do they give? What kind of gifts do they get?)

He likes to write letters and poems. Sometimes he’ll write them in different languages so that you also get a puzzle to figure out. He likes to get homemade things. It shows that thought went into it, and you’re giving him a little piece of you.

H- Hugs (How do they show affection/cuddle)

If he hasn’t seen you in a while, you’re getting a crushing hug. He just wants you to know how much he’s missed you. Other times, he gives the best hugs. The only equivalent would be a bear hug. He’s almost always the big spoon, because he likes to make you feel safe, but on occasion he needs comforting he’ll want to be the little spoon.

I- Irritation (What is something that irritates them? How do they show their irritation?)

Anakin. Jkjk. He is very particular about communication. He spent years dealing with Anakin having feelings and not trusting him enough to be open about them. He hates when people don’t tell him the truth or bottle things, because it will only cause a bigger issue later on. His jaw twitches slightly and he gets sassy.

J- Jackpot (How would they spend their winnings if they won the lottery?)

I’m very big on him giving a lot to charity. The rest would probably go into savings because he’s practical. He just doesn’t know what to do with all of it, though. He’s used to a simple life.

K- Kryptonite (What is their ultimate weakness?)

Love. He loves deeply, despite the rules on attachment. It can blind him into being too trusting and missing warning signs.

Also, he’s ticklish.

L- Laughter (What makes them laugh?)

Wordplay. He pretends to hate puns and witty retorts, but they always make him chuckle. Also, when you’re trying to make dinner and you get distracted so it goes up in smoke and you end up needing to order take out. Because, you tried so hard and it was so cute.

M- Morning ( How do they wake up in the morning? Are they a morning person or a morning grouch?)

It depends. If he has to wake up at the crack of dawn, he’s cranky until he gets caffeine. If he’s well rested then he’s fine.

N- Needy (When do they feel particularly needy? How do they show it?)

He’s needy after hard missions when he looses a lot of men. He’ll just wordlessly come home and hold you close as a reminder that not all is lost.

O- Oasis (Where is their happy place? Where would they go if they didn’t have anything holding them back?)

Definitely not Tatooine. He’d go wherever you are. But, for a physical place, he’d probably go to the Temple. It’s his home.

P- Pain (How do they handle pain? How do they handle when you are in pain?)

Oh he’s very much “Oh, I’m fine” as he’s bleeding out. He sucks it up like a trooper because he doesn’t want anyone to worry. However, when you’re in pain he is fawning all over you and telling you to take it easy.

Q- Quote (What’s a quote that fits them and your relationship)

“Come what may, I will love you til my dying day.”

R- Reunion (How do they celebrate seeing you after a long time of being apart)

Oh, in private, he’s running to hug you and hold you close, and then he’s picking you up and you’re heading to the bedroom.

S- Stress (What stresses them out? How do deal with stress and how do they relieve it?)

The amount of loss that he faces on a daily basis stresses him out. The fact that he’s very much never gotten over his grief for others, so he’s worried about seeing something and being brought back to Qui-Gon and not being able to get over it. He meditates.

T- Terror (What are they afraid of?)

Losing everyone he loves. His heart can take a lot, but it feels like the universe keeps taking.

U- Unique (What is a quirk that is unique to them?)

He’s very good with animals.

V- Violence (Do they fight a lot? Are they a good fighter? What is their fighting style?)

He doesn’t fight a lot if he’s not on a mission. He definitely prefers to use fighting as a last resort.

W- Wow (What do you do that really surprises them? What do you do that they really like?)

Massages. When he first got one, he was very hesitant, but then he was putty in your hands.

X- (Explicit headcanon. For all you degenerates)

When he’s stressed, he’ll take you anywhere. He’s very much into gripping your hips while you fuck and he loves when you ride his face.

Y- Yucky (Is there something that grosses them out so badly that they can’t deal with it?)

Anakin eating bugs.

Z- ZZZ’s (What are their sleeping habits? Both with and without you)

With you, he’s very cuddly. He stays to his side, but he’ll meet you in the middle. Without you, he takes over the bed.
