Valentines
Time for another little Drabble. This time as it’s February we have something Valentines themes for what the Pedro Pascal Characters have got up to. So I hope you enjoy this little selection of notes.
Most of these are fluffy but a couple have spicy notes to them (ahem always Dave) so read at your own discretion.
Joel Miller
Bread
We’re talking outbreak Joel. He knows you miss your mum & her baking on a weekend. So he’s spent his time & his favours on getting you some fresh bread. “You don’t want to know what I’ve given up for this” he says, but he knows it’s worth it as you sniff the fresh small loaf & he sees the look in your eyes evoking so many memories. He knows it was worth it right there. He slowly pours you a fresh cup of coffee as he watched you slice the bread open & you beam as you look at how fluffy the inside is.
Max Phillips
Red Roses
“Careful not to prick yourself” he says licking his lips as you arrange them. “Maybe I want too” you reply. You only allow him to drink from you when you are intimate on special occasions & as your undead man has actually made an effort to get you something for Valentine’s Day, you feel maybe tonight he can taste more than just your pussy when you have sex. A small drop falls from your finger & he licks his lips, his eyes dilating. “Well someone wants more than just a taste?”
Ezra
Oxygen
You’re not going to ask Ezra how he got an extra tank of oxygen for the two of you. The less you know the better. But he’s proud & offers you to fill up your reserve first. “Fill it all the way baby, I only want you gasping when we’re having fun in our pod later” he then extends his hand, your gloves gripping each other as you rest your helmets against each other. “Maybe being stuck in this moon with you wasn’t the worst thing to happen to us” you sigh.
Marcus Moreno
A card & chocolates
Marcus honestly forgot this morning that it was Valentine’s Day but he did have to rush out the house to save the world from evil marshmallow creatures who were trying to take over. When you get home a little pink heart card is sitting on top of a box of your favourite chocolates from him with a note. It says he’s sorry & you sigh & smile as you sniff the card, it smells of him. You then put on the news to see him giving a press conference about how the world is safe. That’s the only gift you really need that he is alive & okay.
Mr Ben
A new bag
He saw how sad you were when in the Christmas sales the handbag you were saving for didn’t drop in price. You clicked on it every day in January hoping it would drop in price but it didn’t. So on his way to the restaurant he’s booked for tonight he’s poped into the store & purchased it for you. “But Ben we can’t afford this” you exclaim as you open in. “Yes we can” you go to protest but he stops you “can’t I treat you just this once baby” you blush & lean across the table & give him a small kiss.”I thought you paying for dinner as enough of a treat” you smirk & raise your glass of red wine to him.
Javi Gutierrez
Diamond earrings
Javi is over the top about Valentine’s Day. Breakfast in bed, a teddy with a heart, roses, oysters & a romantic lunch which ends with him slipping two diamond earrings in your ears. He can tell you’re now a little embarrassed & you are but you know he will never change. He wants to spoil you, so why not. Especially now he’s a big Hollywood screen writer. Your loyal puppy adores you too much & is too sweet that he’s gone over the top with the romantic cliches.
Silva
A new horse
You are loving life on the ranch & now Silva is helping you to learn to ride, but his horse is stubborn.It will only accept you if Silva has the reigns. So when you wake up on Valentine’s Day & see a new grey horse outside that he is brushing, your eyes light up. “His name is Sebastian” he says as he brushes the horses mane. You grab a carrot & nuzzel against it, instantly bonding as Silva hugs you from behind.
Dave York
New handcuffs
Dave has sneaked out to see you once he’s treated Carol to her perfect valentines night. He’s now at your apartment. You’ve already 69, & you are sitting on his lap cock warming him inside you, before you get onto the rest of it. His hand is strumming your clit as you moan while holding the cuffs up. “They are technically from work so good luck wriggling out of those baby” he says before his spare hand spanks your arse & his movements get more vigorous.

"Ezra," Christopher called. "I need to speak with you."
Ezra hurried after the sound of Christopher's voice, finding him stirring a large metal pot in the kitchen.
Nearly two weeks had passed since they had met, yet Ezra still adored the sound of Christopher saying his name.
His real name, not the other one. That one was shoved away in a drawer, an unspoken secret between the two of them.
"My fiance Colt is coming over later today" Christopher said. "He is not the most punctual sort, so don't hold your breath for his arrival."
Christopher had mentioned Colt, of course. Sometimes leaving Ezra alone for a few hours to spend time with him. But Ezra had never expected to meet the man.
"He's rough around the edges," Christopher continued. "Please forgive any rudeness on his part. I love him dearly, but we really are a case of opposites attracting."
Whatever the opposite of Christopher was, Ezra didnt want to meet him. Christopher must be exaggerating, unless he was bringing the Devil himself over for tea.
"Yes sir," Ezra said. "If you don't mind my asking, why don't you live together? Are you planning on it after you get married?"
"No, we have very different life styles, and are content to live separately."
Christopher stirred the pot of stew he was cooking a few more times, then set his wooden spoon on the counter.
So, their peace would never be permanently disrupted. Ezra secretly rejoiced in this knowledge.
He and Christopher were so perfect by themselves. Christopher didn't need Colt, or anyone other than Ezra, anyway. It was only a matter of time before he realized that.
"I want you to get along with him," Christopher said. "Don't think I can't see the look on your face. Now is not a time for jealously."
"I'm not jealous sir," Ezra lied. "I'm happy that you're getting married. I'm just nervous about meeting another person. I'm used to it just being the two of us."
The pot on the stove boiled over, white foam rising over the edge and pouring onto the stove.
Christopher swiftly balanced his wooden spoon over it, reducing the bubbling significantly.
"We're going to have lunch or dinner together, depending on when he shows up. You will eat later, so don't think I've forgotten you."
"Yes sir."
Christopher turned the stove down so the stew could simmer. He turned and hugged Ezra, then held him at arms length, smiling warmly.
"Would you like some tea?"
Ezra knew the correct answer. "Yes sir." With a smile to match.
They sat then, in each other's company, cuddled up on their sofa drinking steaming lemon tea.
Christopher's house felt more like home to Ezra than any of his past houses or apartments ever had.
It seemed insane that he had ever resisted being kept here. It really was their own Eden, uninterrupted by the horrors of the outside world.
The loud sound of someone banging on the laundry room door rang out.
"Christopher!" a man, presumably Colt, shouted. "I'm here!"
Christopher sighed and walked to open the door. Ezra stayed perfectly still, listening to Christopher and Colt's conversation.
"What's up dollface?" Colt asked. "Did you miss me?"
"Terribly," Christopher said. "Excuse me, do not track mud in my house. Take those disgusting boots of yours off."
"Yeah yeah. I love you too."
"And your pet is filthy. Did you even try to clean them off?"
"I sprayed it down with a hose."
Pet? Ezra physically recoiled. Please be a dog. Please be a dog. Please be a dog.
"Have you done anything interesting lately?" Christopher asked.
"I finally got around to fixing up that old motor bike. She's a right beauty. I just need to finish the paint job then take her for a spin.
"That sounds like fun. Tell me how it goes."
"I will."
"Come on in."
Christopher walked into his living room with Colt just behind him.
Ezra immediately decided that he hated Colt.
His obnoxious slicked back hair and bad eye liner suited him perfectly, in the most derogatory sense. His worn out leather jacket was covered in the logos of various metal bands. His pants were more rips than leather, hugging his hips much too tightly.
He looked to be the sort of man who picked fights in bars for fun and prided himself in stealing other men's girlfriends.
"Ah," Colt said, fixing his gaze on Ezra. "So this is your new pet hmm?"
"His name is Ezra," Christopher said.
"You named it?"
"Him, dearest. And no, that was already his name."
"Your pet has a name and preffered pronouns?" Colt asked with a nasty sort of laugh.
"Precisely," Christopher answered.
Colt considered this. "Whatever makes you happy."
He looked around, suddenly realizing his pet hadn't followed him inside.
"Come on in you stupid mutt!" he hollered.
A person shambled into the room, stumbling every few steps. Their long hair was matted in all manner of filth and what looked too much like dried blood for Ezra's comfort.
Shredded clothing did little to cover their scarred body, covered in all manner of cuts, burns, and bruises. Their skeletal frame betrayed weeks without more than scraps to eat.
"They need cleaned up," Christopher complained. "They're getting my carpet dirty. And some of those wounds are festering."
Colt sighed, as though basic human dignity was very far beneath him.
"Fine dollface. That'll at least get our pets out of the way while we have some fun. I can smell the, what do you call it? Oh yeah, I can smell the borscht from in here."
How Colt could smell anything over the cloying scent of lavender was beyond Ezra.
"Ezra dear," Christopher said. "Can you take...this person and get them into the shower. I hope you don't mind them borrowing a pair of your pajamas."
"Of course sir." Ezra stood up, leaving his empty tea cup on the living room table. He gestured to the pathetic creature trembling in his livingroom. "Please follow me."
"You don't need to be nice you know," Colt complained. "Tell it what you want it to do. Then hit it if it refuses. Easy."
"I expect politeness from my pets," Christopher correct.
"Oh yes, well whatever." Colt made a shooing gesture at Ezra. "Off with you two then."
"Yes sir."
Ezra stood, and held out his hand. Colt's pet hesitated, before accepting it and allowing themself to be led down the hall and into the bathroom.
Ezra closed the door behind them and gestured for Colt's pet to sit on the ledge of the bathtub.
"What's your name? I'm Ezra."
They shook their head vigorously, matted hair falling over wide gray eyes.
"I'm not allowed to have one."
"Oh...is there anything I can call you then?"
"Master calls me mutt."
"I'm not gonna call you mutt. I used to get called that. I hated it. Christopher and Colt can't hear us in here, anyway. They have the record player on."
"You can-" They broke off, glancing around wildly, before dropping their volume significantly. "You can call me...a name?"
"Yeah, sure thing. What name?"
"Any. Just a name."
Ezra thought about this for a minute. How could this poor person not remember their own name? What in the nine rings of hell had Colt put them through?
"How about...Jay?"
"I like that one."
"And pronouns? Do you like she or he or they or it or something else?"
"Master calls me it. But yours called me they."
"What do you like?"
"I like...what you like?"
Ezra sighed. "Alright Jay, we can stick with they and them unless you decide you like something different."
Jay lit up, a cracked lipped smile reaching across their bloodied face. "Okay."
"Christopher wanted me to help you get cleaned up. Do you mind taking your clothes off? I have clean ones for after you're done showering."
Jay stripped imediately, finding nothing embarrassing about being exposed. Numberless scars littered the entirety of their body, all covered in a layer of dirt and dried blood.
Their back and chest bore poorly scabbed over wounds Ezra recognized as coming from a knife. Second and third degree burns stretched across large swaths of their limbs. The peeling blisters and charred black flesh almost hurt to look at. Dark purple bruises covered every piece of skin where nothing truly atrocious laid.
"What happened to you?" Ezra couldn't help but ask. "I have a first aid kit."
"Master likes beating me," Jay said, as though it were obvious. "It doesn't look like yours does. So I'm happy about that."
Christopher's words suddenly came rushing into Ezra's mind.
Oh, don't look at me like that. It isn't anything horrid. I'm not going to hurt you, unless you harm me or attempt escape. You should be grateful, really. I'm a lot kinder than most of the masters you could have gotten stuck with.
And you're so pretty too. I know a few men who would wear your face as a mask sooner than saying hello. No, no, you're much better off with me. I'll take care of that pretty face of yours.
Ezra loved Christopher, that much was certain. But he didn't understand why he would involve himself with someone capable of such brutality. Christopher deserved better than Colt, and so did Jay.
Ezra brought the water to a pleasantly warm temperature. Then he flipped on the shower head, already on its gentlest setting.
"Am I really allowed to?" Jay whispered.
"Yeah. Christopher said you had to. He likes to keep his house clean."
Jay relaxed, apparently satisfied with any reasoning outside of compassion. They stepped into the shower, and laughed with delight.
"Oh, that feels good," they said brightly.
Ezra handed them a towel and body wash.
"Thank you Ezra."
After Jay finished cleaning the dirt and dried blood from their body, Ezra handed them the shampoo.
They lathered it into their hair, and smiled as the built up grease and grime finally seeped down the drain.
Their skin, brilliantly red and raw, looked as though they had been partially flayed. But still this was improvement.
Drying off proved a challenge. Jay's skin was far too sensitive, they winced and even yelped at being touched by the towel.
"You can drip dry," Ezra offered.
Jay nodded. "Thank you. I don't know how I'm ever going to make this up to you."
"You can make it up to me by telling me about yourself while I clean your wounds out."
"Okay." Jay thought about Ezra's request as he pulled out the first aid kit. "I'm Colt's pet, but you already know that. I'm not a very good pet. He tells me so. That's why he hurts me, I can't just listen to him. And I don't know how to shut up."
Ezra poured rubbing alcohol over Jay's wounds. They hissed in pain, but stayed still. Ezra used alcohol drenched cotton swabs to clean out the stubborn dirt missed by the hot water.
"That sounds awful Jay. How long have you lived together?"
"I don't know," Jay said. "A long time. What about you? It must be nice, living with a master who keeps you clean."
Bandaging Jay's injuries took far more time than expected. They took up such awkward positions.
"Christopher is amazing. I love him, and he loves me. I wish you could stay here with us, but I don't think it's allowed."
"If we're good, I bet we can visit more. Your master sure has a nice house. It smells like flowers."
Ezra knelt down and rubbed burn salve onto Jay's legs. The texture made his skin crawl with unseen insects. It was truly disgusting, seeming like something out of a horror movie, not fit for real life.
Jay sighed with relief. "That feels amazing. Please keep going."
"I will," Ezra promised. "I want you to feel better."
"I've been thinking, about what you said," they whispered, almost inaudible. "I like being Jay. It's a nice name."
"You deserve to be happy."
Jay injuries were far too extensive to be completely cured with a bathroom first aid kit. But Ezra made do, putting the prevention of injection above all else. Even if he couldn't rid Jay of his pain, he could at least risk him of bacteria and what looked suspiciously like mold.
After pulling out a set of clothes, Ezra helped Jay into them. They clutched his arm, unable to balance themselves properly.
"It's okay," Ezra assured them. "I've got you."
Jay ran their hands over their shirt. "Wow," they breathed. "This is so soft."
"Do you want me to brush your hair?" Ezra asked.
"Yes please."
Large clumps of matted tangles pulled loose from Jay's hair as Ezra brushed it, causing Jay a great deal of pain despite Ezra's best effort to be gentle.
When Ezra was done, Jay looked almost normal. Most of their injuries laid beneath the blue cotton clothing, other than a few bruises their face.
"Thank you," Jay whispered, staring at their own reflection. "Is that really what I look like?"
"Yes." Ezra bit his lip, almost guilty for how he was treated when Jay had to suffer such torments. "Are you ready to go back to the livingroom?"
Jay nodded mutely. Ezra took them by their bandaged hand and led them back.
As soon as Ezra caught sight of Colt, he hated him the more for what he saw.
He and Christopher were necking, and Colt seemed to be trying his hardest to suffocate Christopher with his tongue. His hand clutched Christopher's hip, slid below his waist band.
Colt's leather jacket had been removed, revealing his arms, covered in tattoos of punk symbols and naked chicks.
Christopher pulled away from his fiance, his wire framed glasses slightly skewed. "Oh, hello dear Ezra. Are the two of you getting along?"
"Yes sir."
"You look nice," Colt said, sneering at Jay. "You're lucky I brought you. I hope you aren't getting too used to this."
"No I-" Jay broke off. "No master. Of course not."
"Run along and play," Christopher said. "Colt and I have a lot to talk about."
Ezra imediately took his leave, bringing Jay back to his bedroom. The closed door provided a level of privacy he usually disliked, but found appealing in this case.
"Let's take a nap," he suggested. "You look exhausted."
"You're allowed to have a bed?" Jay asked. "Why?"
"So...I can sleep by myself sometimes. Do you just sleep with Colt?"
"No. I sleep of the floor. It isn't that bad. I like playing with the mice. Most people think they're gross, but they're really sweet."
"Lay down," Ezra offered. "We can sleep together. And, if you want, we can cuddle."
Jay burst into tears. They crawled into bed, and Ezra covered the both of them in blankets.
"I'm dreaming, aren't I?" Jay asked. Another sob escaped their lips, and they buried their face in Ezra's pillow.
"No," Ezra said gently, rubbing Jay's back. "This is real life."
He wrapped both of his arms around Jay, keeping them close. He could feel sobs racking through their body, and their ceaseless shaking.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Jay asked. "Oh no, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude. I promise."
"You're okay," Ezra whispered. "I'm being nice because...because you're a person."
"I forgot that." Jay sniffled. "After a while. Everything hurts."
"Sleep. It'll help you feel better. At least a little bit."
"I have nightmares."
"I'll wake you up if you do."
Jay didn't answer. After a few minutes, Ezra heard them softly snoring. He closed his eyes, and allowed sleep to take him, hoping Jay would still be there when he woke up.

“How Do You Feel About Me?”
Rating: T (13+)
Pairing: Ezra (Prospect, 2018) x GN!Reader
Warnings: I really am feeling both too lazy and too unmotivated to write any warnings but I don’t think there’s anything in here that warrants a warning?? Still, read at your own risk I suppose.
Word Count: 1.3k
Summary!: This isn’t at all what I had planned to upload today but I woke up feeling sappy.
******
It’s a simple question. Spoken quietly, timidly in the intimacy of your bedroom. So softly you almost think for a moment that maybe you didn’t hear him correctly. But when you turn to glance over at him beside you, his eyes hold that same insecurity the question itself carried. His gaze searches yours, the dark chestnut of his irises molten with vulnerability. You can feel the shift in the room, a tension you never feel radiating off of him. You want to ask him what brough this on, why he’s questioning it, but you know Ezra. If you resist, so will he, and he’ll laugh this off with a shrug and make some lame jake about it. Which is the last thing you want. Even just from this one question, you know it means a lot. You won’t give him the opportunity to sweep this under the rug. Instead, you turn yourself towards him and think for a moment, looking down at the stars patterned across the bed sheets. You take a deep breath as you let the words flow out of you, the sentiment coming to the forefront of your mind easily,
“I love that you’re constantly teaching me; everything you learn, I learn. Your intelligence was what made me fall for you first, and that’s still something I adore about you. I’ve never met another person that has such a deep passion for knowledge, for learning simply for learning’s sake. But it’s not the only thing I love. Your sense of humor is something I never get tired of. It can go from being filthy and even dark sometimes, to innocent and silly from one moment to the next. You are so witty and sharp-tongued. Your mind is something I wish I could study, because I know I’d always find something interesting. Your words are poetic and charming, downright endearing at times. They are your greatest asset. They enchanted me from the moment we met, and now they’ve become a song I never get tired of listening to.
I find it so sweet, and so empathetic that you get misty-eyed anytime I cry, even when you’re trying to be strong for me. On the coldest days, you make sure to put our blankets in the dryer for a few minutes so they’re warm for me when I get home, something I always forget to thank you for. You always turn off the lights in the house that I forgot I left on, and you never get mad at me for it.” You both chuckle at that, your eyes meeting for a moment before you move your gaze back down again.
“I can fall asleep to the sound of your voice and the rhythm of your heartbeat faster than I can with any sleeping pill. And in the mornings when I wake up, I can still feel you all around me even if you’ve already left for work. Your warmth, your scent, they always linger. When it’s your day off, you still somehow center the day around me: packing me lunch, making sure the house is cleaned up, and cooking my favorite dinner when I’m home.” You look up at him again and you smile at each other. “ I love that you’re patient with me, even when you may not understand me. Whenever something happens, I want to tell you before anyone else. It amazes me how children and animals just gravitate towards you no matter what, like they can see what a beautiful soul you have. I don’t ever feel as safe anywhere else as I do when I’m in your arms. And, as soon as I think of you, I think of home.”
“Moving on to your looks, well you’re the hottest thing in the galaxy, handsome.” He laughs this time, his cheeks going rosy. You smile wider, placing an open palm against his scruffy cheek. I love that the crinkles in the corners of your eyes deepen when you smile wide or you laugh. Your moon-bathed tuft of hair that stays stark blond no matter how many times you’ve tried to dye it. The softness of you, and the broadness of your body. It makes me feel so secure, so protected. Your hands are confident; I think the only time I ever saw them shake was when we first slept together, and it made me feel like the most precious thing in the world.” You take a moment to breathe, letting that memory come to both of your minds in the silence. You’re not usually so poetic in your speech, not like Ezra, but it feels right. It feels like it’s exactly what he needs to hear.
“Your lips are always pillowy soft, mainly because you constantly take my lip balm.” You both chuckle again. “Your eyes are so expressive, I love how your dark brows frame them perfectly and let me know everything you’re feeling at any moment. They are truly the windows to your soul, and I never want to know a moment where they’re not looking at me with as much love as they are now. I think it’s perfectly fitting that I didn’t fall in love with you at first sight, because love at first sight is so misleading. Instead, it was this warm feeling that’s only become warmer with time. It encompasses my heart entirely, and never lets me forget how much you mean to me. I love being certain in the fact that I’m irrevocably, unyieldingly in love with you.” You finish, your eyes darting to him. He’s smiling, despite his teary eyes.
“Thank you, my darlin’.” You nod and he moves, grabbing your face between his palms carefully. He kisses you and you kiss back, the tears in his eyes finally spilling over and staining your own cheeks as they fall down his face.
“You’re welcome, my love. Where did this question come from?” You ask. He shrugs, but he’s not dismissing it. He drops his hands from your face, but doesn’t move away, instead grabbing your hand in his and rubbing soothing circle on the back of your palm as he averts his gaze,
“I just worry sometimes. I get too in my head, and start questioning if I’m the right man for you. I know I’m undeserving of such gracious praise, and sometimes I can’t help but think maybe one day you’ll find someone better.” It breaks your heart to hear him say this, but you understand it completely. You’ve experienced similar feelings from time to time, mainly because in your eyes, he’s absolutely perfect.
“Ezra,” He looks up at you, his attention zeroing in on you. “In the unlikely scenario that there is ‘someone better for me’, You accentuate that with air quotations before grabbing his hand in yours again. “I want you to know this: no matter how much better they are, they will never be you. They will never be as ingrained in my soul as you are, they will never feel like home. You are the person I chose, you are the one I want. It will always be you. You believe me, don’t you?” He smiles again and nods, wiping fresh tears away with his free hand. “Good, and if you have those insecurities again, tell me. Because I’ll never get tired of reminding you how much I love you.” You kiss him now and he kisses back, squeezing your hand for a moment before pulling away.
“Mind if I reciprocate and tell you how I feel about you?” He asks, bringing your knuckles up to his lips so he can kiss them too. You shake your head.
“No, I don't mind. Shoot.” You say. He smiles and lays back. You do the same, laying down with your ear resting against his chest as his arms wrap around you. The hand on top rubbing, open-palmed, against your side.
“Be warned: it’s a very exhaustive list, dearest.” He says, chuckling a little.
“Oh yeah? I definitely need to hear it then.”
******
So, it’s been a hectic start to the year, I decided sorta last minute to apply for my Master’s degree and so for the last two months I’ve been trying to work on all that and really haven’t had time/energy to write. However, the deadline for the program I’m applying to is tomorrow so I should be able to start churning out stuff regularly now, hopefully?? Regardless, I hope you all have a great Valentines, and that you enjoyed this simple thing. Ok, anyway, thanks a million for reading and I’ll see you all in the next one!

Rebels Rewatch: “Fighter Flight”
We went out shopping and wound up stealing a military aircraft, only on Rebels people, only on Rebels.
This is one of my favorite episodes to rewatch, it’s just so FUN.
A very pretty shot of Lothal, pre-burninating, and a short mellow excerpt of the Main Titles theme to open us up.
Behind the scenes it seems that Kanan has been teaching Ezra something, because he’s poised over this bowl like he’s ready and raring to practice something he learned.
You know I gotta talk about it, it’s the flirting scene!
Look at this dork trying to be all suave and charming. ^_^
It doesn’t work because of course Ezra is fourteen and a dumbass just how I like ‘em but I like that Sabine never really seems overly bothered by his attempts, mildly irritated at worst, and even then she never gives him a hard no and she’s plenty capable, she certainly doesn’t let niceties get in the way of her speaking her mind on other things.
(See: How she was almost outright rude to Kanan and Hera about the whole Fulcrum thing.)
Subtle animation appreciation moment: Ezra briefly losing his place leaned against the doorframe and having to quickly readjust. Adorkable.
Zeb, you’re already awake, there’s no point to threatening Ezra here.
Smug little bastard I love him so much.
I really do like that they explore the inevitable friction that was going to occur when you house a snarky teenager with a cranky grown adult. It builds naturally off the previous episode.
Plus I just love Zeb and Ezra’s dynamic and love seeing them grow to respect and care about each other, sue me.
This is nitpicky but... sometimes the paths the characters take through this ship make no damn sense.
Like right here, Ezra comes out of the nose gun pod... which can only be accessed via the cockpit ladder that he immediately runs to. We can hypothesize that maybe he made a detour via the vents, as in the pilot, but... Zeb comes that path too. And he definitely doesn’t fit in the Ghost’s ventilation system.
Granted I notice this because I obsessively charted out the Ghost’s layout but still, it bugs me.
Zeb coming in with a flying leap to tackle Ezra will never not be hilarious.
The Found Family dynamics are in full swing this episode; Hera lording over as Team Mom, Zeb and Ezra acting like squabbling siblings, pretty sure this is the first time someone refers to the other three as “the kids”, Kanan and Hera being absolutely low-key married...
The bouncy, elastic character movement is also very prominent here. Like I said, the show loses this as it goes on, but it lends itself perfectly to the comedy of this episode.
Please appreciate Ezra swiping at Zeb like a feral cat with me.
Subtle animation appreciation moment: The animators take time out to have Ezra scratching up into his hair as he turns from Sumar. I love little tiny character details like this, it just makes things feel so natural and organic.
Imperial March snatches coming on the clarinet here.
Again with the small character moments, Ezra crouching and readying his slingshot.
Rebels said Eminent Domain is the arm of state tyranny, pass it on.
Friiiiiiick the height difference between Ezra and Zeb is getting to me, he is so freaking tiny!
No wonder everyone he meets feels the immediate need to adopt and protect him.
Serious question: What exactly does the Empire want or need with a crate of meilooruns? They hardly seem the type to care that much about the nutritional needs of their troops.
Like as not it’s for the plate of an officer with an expensive palate.
Ezra already responding much better to Zeb’s shoulder punches.
I would like to just reiterate: I love Zeb and Ezra’s friendship, it is adorable, they play so nicely off each other and I’m glad they got this bonding episode in early Season One.
The bouncy woodwind that’s been picking away in the background here transitions seamlessly into the Force theme prelude, hgn I LOVE it when the score adds to plot beats.
I could be wrong, but this sounds vaguely like a cue from ANH when the Stormtroopers were chasing Han and Chewie.
Ezra being so smol that Zeb can literally chuck him up to a rooftop. *cries*
Baron Valen Rudor was featured in Ezra’s introductory short (Zeb’s too I think?), it’s kind of a running gag how the Rebels show up to ruin this guy’s day in particular. And it is hilarious.
Please appreciate Zeb’s maniacal cackle as he blasts troopers away with the TIE fighter with me.
Oh wow, I never noticed the subtle Force ring sound effect right here with Ezra leaping to the other roof. Nice touch.
I hear some notes from the Return of the Jedi soundtrack here, specifically when the Rebel Alliance is making its attack on the Death Star. I think that may be one of the leitmotifs associated with the Rebel Alliance specifically?
I really want to know the story behind Ezra’s, “You don’t know how. Let me!” here.
A lot of this really seems to suggest that Ezra’s flown ships before.
Force ring sound effect coming in as Ezra senses the approaching rock formation and once again, I love this show’s animation. I think I have a gifset of this moment specifically under my #your clone wars could never tag.
(Explanation: That tag is mostly for appreciating early Season One Rebels animation, which is on the level of TCW’s Season Three at least.)
I may be a Sabezra whore at heart, but I do love how casually domestic Kanan and Hera are right here.
This is one of the funniest exchanges on the show. XD
Subtle animation appreciation moment: Zeb’s ear flickers and the awkward way Ezra scratches his face.
Ezra’s “I think I know where it [the smoke] is coming from.” makes me think he’s visited the Sumar’s farm at least once or twice and knows its general location.
IIRC a large part of this episode’s inspiration was the toy or concept of this specific transport right here. Fun trivia fact.
I don’t think anyone anticipated Lyste becoming more prominent a player lol.
Like an OC you get inexplicably fond of.
Oh hey! Ezra’s theme is piping in here!
Oh frick is that a Dies Irae reference?
(For context, the Dies Irae is basically an ooooooooold classical music meme, usually used to musically portent death, doom, or gloom. Star Wars tends to use the Dies Irae liberally. Rogue One in particular had heavy Dies Irae references in several of its tracks.)
This music cue, on the other hand? Unique to Rebels. Kind of fun, but then I’m a soundtrack nerd and enjoy this kind of thing.
Zeb continuing in the classic Star Wars tradition of, “We’re fine, we’re all fine here... now... How are you?” failed bluffing lololol.
I know I’ve mentioned my appreciation for the hair animation but... seriously.
It’s so soft-looking.
A stuttered, half-formed variation of the Force Theme here, which only plays a few notes in the sequence, just the suggestion of the leitmotif really.
Luke’s Theme, on the other hand, though in mellow horns, allowed to play more fully, though interrupted on the very end by a sharp discordant note as the Stormtroopers come up top.
This is what we call ~*musical storytelling*~.
Snrk, one Trooper downed by fruit, the other by friendly fire. Love the whimsical little sting as Ezra’s pelting them with meilooruns.
“You did all this... for FRUIT?!”
Still one of the funniest lines in the series.
Oh wow I just noticed the nice scuffed texture on Ezra’s backpack.
Ezra’s jaunty little salute character tic, which Kanan picks up. <33333
Props to Zeb’s prehensile feet, love whenever the writers use them.
I wanna know when and how Zeb learned about Ezra’s helmet collecting hobby, did Ezra try to cram his stash on the shelves as soon as he moved in? Lol.
Awwww and Ezra’s already getting comfortable with arm bumps, love to see it.
*bangs “Rebels animation was gorgeous from the start, ya’ll just hatin’” drum*
I think I can hear some of the cue from the “Property of Ezra Bridger” short. Pretty sure it’s used as a kind of “Rebel shenanigans” leitmotif throughout the series.
Prime “aww” moment here as Zeb and Ezra wrestle, love love love the boys being affectionate, underrated friendship, gimme more.
Lol, Ezra sounds more confused than offended by Sabine’s painting.
And a slightly more upbeat rendition of Ezra’s theme to close us out.
I love this episode it’s got Zeb and Ezra friendship bonding, Kanan/Hera being adorably married, it becomes delightfully relevant to the finale, and it’s hilarious, I don’t really have anything else to say except haters to the left, why don’t you have some fun occasionally?
Tomorrow, the episode that most people said was the hook for them for the show and the start of major Spacedad-Spaceson feels.

somewhere in the lock universe: aot
— we have a personal factory in our house.
eren jaeger x female reader
gone are the days where the walls reflect childish laughter and shenanigans. ezra already graduated college and started applying for masters, aran is nearing his own graduaton, and caspian is officially a sophomore in university. ezra has a place he can call his own, a studio apartment near his chosen university (though he still comes home if the weekend is empty of any workload) while the other two are still residents of their quaint, chaotic home). the kids are all grown up and you have all the time with eren. your husband has been thinking of going on a trip twice a month to truly get away from things. with the children older than they were, it requires more get-togethers for the extended family to remind them that family is the one thing a person doesn't lose.
it's one of those get-togethers after a thorough re-decorating in the jaeger household that caspian first thinks of throwing his little cousin to the newly-installed pool in their backyard.
"i never knew you guys have this many medals and awards here," mikasa notes while staring at the entire wall of glinting golds and silvers just for your three children. "where did you get all of these?"
"i did a little cleaning here and there," you answer.
"more like had a rampage," eren snorts.
you glare at him. he chuckles and plants a kiss on your forehead to erase the furrowed look.
"are you like a factory of medals or something?" sasha exclaims, jaw slackening at the display. "i know you have little geniuses but this," she gestures at the wall, "is madness! the most i got as a kid was a ribbon for being the most resourceful!"
"well," eren gloats.
"shut up, eren." mikasa rolls her eyes. "don't even make me list your awards."
"i got a trophy for every sport i play!"
"that's not academic achievement."
"woah! that's a lot of shiny things."
marigold, mikasa and sasha's daughter, tilts her head to assess the medals. the space at the far left probably has the most awards, the graduation portrait at the top showcasing a charming smile that is basically the male version of you. marigold remembers asking for her big cousin, ezra, for any help with homework. next to his space is aran's, his portrait that of a high school graduation, which will be replaced in a few months with his university one. aran is the definition of someone who has it easy. studying is easy for him, even the exams he take; one would say he's a genius at this point. and then, the last space confuses marigold. if there's an abundance of shiny circles below the other two, there's only a handful underneath caspian's. instead, there are three trophies that he received for being the mvp of the many sports he played and a couple of medals for winning a tournament. safe to say, caspian is a carbon copy of his father; looks and achievements and all.
marigold stares at the said boy, who grows to be taller than you now. he looks a lot like eren when the man was the same age as him, minus the emo long hair.
caspian is busy tapping something on his phone when he feels the wide-eyed stare boring on his skull. he slowly turns his head, only to find the creepiest little shit calling for him wordlessly. marigold is an adorable kid, yes, and caspian loves her, but when she does that thing ... caspian is convinced she's going to dethrone anabelle the creepy doll.
"what?" he asks.
the little girl blinks.
caspian looks around for the adults before knitting his eyebrows at her. "what is it, goldie?"
"how come you have the least medals on here?" she points at the wall.
ezra chokes on his soda, aran's jaw drops, helene gasps, and every adult in the house stops talking to each other.
caspian blinks at the sudden question. he puts down his phone on his lap.
"we ran out of gold."
ezra snorts and his chuckles become full-blown laughter at his baby brother's dry response. even aran bites his lip to prevent himself from laughing.
"now, did that answer your question? yes? okay." and just like that, he goes back to tapping on his phone, cheering lightly when his character didn't die while being in idle motion.
"don't plot anything, cassie," aran teases.
"i'm not."
"i bet he's thinking of throwing her in the pool," ezra snickers.
"..."
it's silent for one minute until, "goldie, let's go for a swim."

Saturday May 14, 2022
Apologies for the radio silence last Saturday. It was a big week for me. I quit my job of 13 years. I was poached by a competitor and offered an amazing new opportunity, so I was busy not reading. however, I made up for my lack of reading last week for ALL the reading this week.

1. In The Dark by @frannyzooey
Pairing: Ezra (Prospect) x Fem!Reader
I adored the tension and pining in this fic. It was lovely. I can still feel my heart beating out of my chest at these two sneaking a few minutes together in the crowded bookshop. Phew, babes. I’m still sweating from the preciously perfect anxiety! I also love the way you’ve captured Ezra’s easy going personality, the way he’s absloutely comfortable no matter what, even when he’s feeling high strung. Ugh, beautiful, perfection!
2. Partners In Crime by @mandosmistress
Pairing: Pedro Across the Street x Fem!Reader

I would pay the good monies for this. Go read it. Seriously, READ IT.
3. Everything and More by @dincrypt
Pairing: Din Djarin x Fem!Reader
THIS SERIES HAS BROKEN ME. ITS CHANGED ME. ITS MADE ME YEARN IN WAYS I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED. I’ve always been pro sugar daddy, but jheeeeezzeeeeeeeeee babes. Din is a Daddy with a capital D. I’m literally hanging on by the thinest thread for the next update. I might die of a coronary just waiting. The slow burn, the work up, the everything. You’ve weaved absolute magic with this story. A DADDY ON THIS LEVEL! It’s what we all need and deserve! I can’t wait to find out the twists you definitely have coming our way.

4. Another Way by @theewokingdead
Pairing: Din Djarin x Fem!Reader
I haven’t finished this series yet, but it is absolutely lovely. I love the give and take between our reader and Din. Watching their relationship grow, form and develop has been wonderful. I love this take on the whole situation Din has been dealt and the way that they’re so into each other but hesitant at the same time. I can’t wait to finish this series and see where you take them. I love these two with my whole heart, I really do!!!

Pairing: Coco Cruz x Fem!Reader
MAYANS F A M I L Y!!!!!! Ahhhhh, it’s been so long since I’ve read anything Mayans related and I’m so glad that this was the oneshot that I got to dip my toes back into the water with. I have 0 idea of what’s happening in the show currently, but to me, this captured everything I needed to know. The stress, the search, the violence, THE LOVE! Coco is my soft, sad boy and I love that in this he’s worried about the reader. He just wants her to be safe, regardless of anything going on between them. I adored this.

This is Nicholas, my Mara's baby nephew. If he weren't already spoken for, this little guy would be coming home with me sometime early in February, with a name change of Anakin's Fenn Rau. The white stripe on his head leads all the way back to the black stripe on his back, and this little guy is so stinkin' adorable! I told the breeder that if the people back out, she needs to let me know, and I will figure something out, even work in trade for this sweetheart 🥰. Haven't felt like this since Mara. Sigh. The puppy fever is real people.
In other news, the holiday drama is real 😤. In my own house with my youngest and her father. The long of the short is that they know how to push each other's buttons, so they do. And they don't care who falls victim to it or what they ruin when they get going 😡. The older girls have a saying. "Don't piss off the German mother, that's a bear you don't want to wake up!" Well, that bear got woke up and put them both in their place today. Still NOT happy about it. Right in the middle of Yule, too! Fucking hell! I almost pulled me and the others back into the car to go back to their grandfather’s and let them hash it out, but Mara and the cats would have had to deal with it, and that's not fair to them. I don't like drama. My girls know this. My Mister SHOULD know this after almost 30 years together. I will shut that shit down. And I will be pissed the fuck off while I do it. If I want drama, I will go to my safe place of fanfiction, or the occasional show or movie that I might watch, and get it that way. Or if I want a really good show, I will go down the street and see what the neighbors are doing. Not. In. My. Home.
/vent
Anywho, even though I celebrate Yule, we do add a bit of secular Christmas in for the younger kids and the family members that do celebrate it. And I was raised Xtian, so it's old hat, really. With that said, all of the holiday and wintertime Joel fics that have been showing up lately?! Holy moley, you guys! Incredible! One minute, it's really hot 🔥 in here. The next, it's so fluffy and cuddly 🥰. I LOVE IT. Missing my mom a lot right now, it's been nice having the added distraction ❤️. So a huge thank you to all of my Frankie, Din, Djarin, Dave York, Marcus Moreno, Marcus Pike, Oberyn Martel, and even Agent Whiskey fic writers! But especially to my Joel writers 🥰❤️. He's still number one, even if someone did manage to bring Ezra close to him the other week 👀! Love you all! 😘😘

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 27/08/2022 (Aitch/Ed Sheeran)
It was a decently close race, but LF SYSTEM are at #1 for an eighth week on the UK Singles Chart with “Afraid to Feel”, and welcome back to REVIEWING THE CHARTS!
Rundown
Outside of a couple big debuts, this is a pretty slow week, and I mean really slow, even if some of the traction or momentum within the songs already on the chart is pretty promising. We still have to – as always – start with our notable dropouts, songs exiting the UK Top 75 – which is what I cover – after five weeks in the region or a peak in the top 40. There aren’t many of those either: “Jimmy Cooks” by Drake featuring 21 Savage is out after being eclipsed by “Massive” (which similarly had a large decrease this week), and “Dandelions” by Ruth B. is gone after 30 weeks without even hitting the top 40.
In terms of the songs filling in to replace them, well, we have at least two new big arrivals that might stand a chance, but of course, we have our notable gains and returning entries. “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)” by Lizzo and “Another Love” by Tom Odell are back at #71 and #70 respectively, and then of course we have the gains: “Atlantis” by Seafret at #68, “Matilda” by Harry Styles at #56, “Victoria’s Secret” by Jax at #53 (kill me), “Yellow” by Coldplay of all songs at #52 off of the return last week, “KU LO SA – A COLORS SHOW” by Oxlade at #50, “Mary on a Cross” by Ghost at #43, “Turn On the Lights again..” by Fred again.. and Swedish House Mafia featuring Future at #40, “Remind Me” by Tom Grennan at #38, “Under the Influence” by Chris Brown at #24, “Late Night Talking” by Harry Styles at #12, “Big City Life” by Luude and Mattafix at #11, out-charting the original and finally, “Super Freaky Girl” hitting the top 10 at #10, becoming Nicki Minaj’s first top 10 hit as a lead artist since 2014 with “Anaconda”.
Our top five consists of “I Ain’t Worried” by OneRepublic at #5, “BREAK MY SOUL” by Beyoncé at #4, “Green Green Grass” by George Ezra at #3, “B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All)” by Eliza Rose and Interplanetary Criminal at #2 and finally, of course, “Afraid to Feel” at the top. Now’s the time for me to talk about albums released in the past week or so that didn’t really impact the chart, and this one does get a bit long because, well, most good music doesn’t chart, but regardless...
Off the Charts
HOLY FVCK – Demi Lovato
There is one album I absolutely adore in this short list of four non-charting records, and for the rest? Well, I don’t have much to say about any of them. Lovato’s newest album, charting at #7, seems to sacrifice much of the growth and interesting character that was developed in their last record for a cheap, derivative pop-punk takeover that spends much of its time in generic, overly-compressed mediocrity, even if some of the riffs do rock and some of the hooks are catchy. Demi is perfect for this kind of music, but the writers and producers gave them the short end of the stick. My favourite track is “CITY OF ANGELS”.
Awakening:Sleeping – MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS
I liked what I heard from this Japanese alternative rock band a lot, but the newest album falls kind of flat. It’s still a decent, well-produced set of colourful, heavy bangers but the production is less dynamic so despite the squelching guitars and soaring nature, everything is a bit too clear and tangible. This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if it were more cohesive, but sonically and conceptually from the standpoint of someone definitely blocked by the language barrier, it feel s a bit formless to me. I’d still recommend it, and it definitely picks up by the end, but I’m not a fan overall. My favourite track is “Birds and rhythm”.
PUP PACK EP – Kenny Mason
There’s not much to say about this one, either: Kenny Mason delivers three good rap songs, and whilst he’s a bit less on the rappity-rap side here (which honestly is what I prefer from Kenny), I do think his melodic chops are improving and he still has plenty of conscious lyrical bars on the closer. It was pretty exciting to hear him on the minimal plugg-esque groove on “Dip!” with DavidTheTragic, which is my favourite track here, and I hope that next full-length is coming soon.
Ibiza Dreams – Departure
I had unusually tempered expectations coming into this new Departure album, considering that the one review was lukewarm and the title of Ibiza Dreams seemed far from an aesthetic that the largely darker, cryptic production from Departure could really encapsulate. I was therefore pretty surprised by how much this gorgeous album actually resonated. Whilst the other two records from Departure I’ve heard this year were ambitious to a degree, the first was free-flowing and chaotic and the second felt like pretty intricately crafted beats that worked best in isolation. This album has a level of ambition that I did not expect, considering the constant layering and collation of samples that is insanely dense, even more so than other plunderphonics, the guest features and generally longer runtime of some of these tracks and what feels like a more realised concept behind everything here. It’s so clear that Departure – or whoever the character here is – is not at peace, but what this album elevates most to me in terms of a goal or theme is still stability.
The jangling, Summery and wistful tones are always contrasted with these echoing drones wherein one instrument or really one present voice careens through the mix. The “Ibiza dreams” still seem very far away, but the album feels very laser-focused on at some point gaining that sense of peace and escapism, even if the album is indebted to the chaotic overthinking on “Real Ibiza Summers (Thoughts 6)”, the political frustration on “Freudian Analysis (You’ll Never Stop Suicidal Weakness”, and especially that mantra of self-hatred on said track: “loving you is complicated”. Coming into stability and self-esteem will be a rocky, manic road and the level of back-tracking, repeating yourself and predisposed melancholy throughout this record is a pretty nuanced slice of what that journey can be like. That’s not to say it doesn’t work sonically of course, because I’ll always like chipmunk vocals over breakbeats like on “Jacksonville Beach” with High Life, the cathartic, blood-curling scream on the aforementioned “Freudian Analysis”, the paranoid, meandering loops of “Korinthisch” before the soaring guitars kick in and let the track devour itself in its own emotional distance over the frosty drums, and, I mean, “Strobelight” with MMIII is just groovin’.
Katherine Bogue’s ghostly performance on “Isolation and Responsibility” as she recites “Father and Sons” by Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam genuinely made me tear up a little bit, even when her intimate performances is drenched in the kind of echo and reverb that makes her seem like she’s singing from the heavens above. The beatwork on the closer “Humanity’s Tale” is immaculate with those trip-hop drums punctuating the densely-packed samples, including one of “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion which probably only works in this context. The advice given by the sample on this track, whilst he acknowledges is completely meaningless because it’s advice that goes by his own specific life experience and ultimately, what he’s saying is that it would be best to not take advice from anyone and instead trust in yourself, still resonates because it’s the last step that it feels needs to be taken before “Ibiza dreams” are in reach. It’s at that point that “Ibiza dreams” are evidently not the Summer party fun, if that wasn’t clear already. It’s more of a gateway to balance, and only with that balance is the protagonist, whether that be Departure or whoever else, is able to admit those closing lines: “I want to feel alive, I don’t even want to die anymore”. This album deserves a lot more analysis than I think I can give it justice in a shorter format, and my thoughts on the record are still not entirely assembled, but this album already within just a few days of release means a hell of a lot to me, and I fully recommend it if you’re willing to take a plunge into some at times heavy but genuinely inspiring sampledelia. Seriously, though, trust me on the sunscreen.
NEW ARRIVALS
#57 – “All These Nights” – Tom Grennan
Produced by The Six and Andrew Wells
There are only three new arrivals this week and honestly, I doubt I’ll have much to say about them, so you may as well call this a Departure album review with added bonus pop music. At least this has a decently unique concept, with the song mostly being about how despite the relationship getting closer and closer, he just wants to hear that extra step in hearing his partner say “I love you”. It’s sold pretty decently as well, or at least competently. My main gripe is the mix given how compressed it all is, cheapening the impact of pretty much any moment, and the drums sound cheap as hell within the same old 1980s synthpop pastiche, but there is a genuine drive to that chorus that feels pretty punchy. Tom Grennan is kind of lacking in presence here, which is surprising given he’s front and centre in this mix: I feel like he has nowhere near the personality to make these inflections work. Like much of the guy’s work, I feel like it could be a great song – and really, this is a brilliant chorus – but the structure’s too jerky, the mix isn’t dynamic and the vocals are just not good enough. This is the closest that Grennan has gotten to greatness to me, but I know it’s possible and that might be the most frustrating thing.
#22 – “Pink Venom” – BLACKPINK
Produced by Teddy Park
...What in the fresh Hell is this? Okay, maybe I should have been expecting something like this: BLACKPINK have a tendency to make the most... out-there and obnoxious elements of K-pop front and centre, but this still feels a bit... much, which is odd because for a lot of the time in this song, the mix feels gapingly open and kind of empty. The constant 90s rap references seem to try and make BLACKPINK’s bilingual raps have something more “tough” to them, but I highly doubt these girls are catching “bodies on bodies”. The wonky, south Asian-influenced trap production isn’t awful in the verses, with the jerky percussion potentially working in a context that isn’t going to scrape it all off for the big finish in the chorus, which has always felt really cheap with BLACKPINK. The chorus is this low-energy looping refrain that whilst hypnotic, completely halts the song’s momentum, before an awkward G-funk rhythm with dusty drums in the second verse which is out of nowhere and has some piercing synths that I definitely don’t like... but at least Jennie’s Big Sean-esque rapid, all-over-the-place flow is kind of fun. This isn’t as manic as “Kill this Love” might have been, but still, by the bridge, I have no Goddamn idea what is going on. Maybe I need to watch the video to understand the BLACKPINK lore and maybe that can make me find out why they’re doing a Big Shaq impersonation on the outro, but for now... I think the girls are at their best solo, when they can play with a certain level of restraint that BLACKPINK does not allow. This isn’t awful by any means, but it’s a sight to behold.
#6 – “My G” – Aitch featuring Ed Sheeran
Produced by Fraser T. Smith, WhYJay and LiTek
Usually with Aitch, and honestly with Ed Sheeran, I pull out the jokes but I don’t think that’s all that inappropriate for this song in particular. Aitch’s new album, Close to Home, debuting at #2 on the albums chart behind Steps, just managed to debut one song on this week’s chart. It’s a pretty sweet one, in all honesty, as Aitch raps about his little sister who has Down syndrome, with some really detailed accounts of the memories that he shares with her, even if some of them aren’t all that positive. Written in an almost letter format, he expresses his motivation to continue being there for her even as times go on – quicker than he expected – and briefly touching on how he wants her to not pay mind to people who may stop and stare because of her condition. It might be a tad heavy-handed, but the narrative being as genuine as it is, especially in that second verse, is more emotion than I think I’ve ever heard from Aitch, and it’s to be commended. Ed Sheeran is also here, and whilst I don’t think his guitar-laden hook blends in with the kind of awkward percussion as well as it could, it’s pretty catchy and for this kind of rap ballad, it’s serviceable. I can see it sticking around.
Conclusion
I probably prefer “All These Nights” sonically but “My G” put a smile on my face so I think I’ll give it Best of the Week, with whatever “Pink Venom” by BLACKPINK is as the Worst of the Week. I do wish I liked any of these three songs more than I do but that’s how the UK Singles Chart works as always. Thank you for reading – I know most of it wasn’t focused on the chart but I frankly don’t care – and I’ll see you next week!

I just re-wrote "Family Madrigal" to be about the characters of the Nevermoor books. Enjoy, I guess?
[Intro: Morrigan]
Drawers!
Floors!
Doors!
Let's go!
[Verse 1: Morrigan & Ensemble]
This is our home, we've got every generation,
So full of music, a rhythm of its own design
This is my family, a perfect constellation!
So many stars and everybody gets to shine.
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), let's be clear, the Council run this show!
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), they led us here so many years ago.
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), and every year our family blessings grow!
There's just a lot you've simply got to know, so;
[Chorus: Morrigan]
Welcome to the Wunderous Society!
The home of the Wunderous Society! (We're on our way!)
Where all the people are incredible and crazy,
I'm part of the Wunderous Society!
[Interlude]
[Children] Oh my gosh, it's them!
[Child 1] What are the Knacks?
[Child 2] I can't remember all the Knacks!
[Child 3] But I don't know who is who!
[Morrigan] Alright, alright, relax!
[Child 1] It is physically impossible to relax!
[Child 2] Tell us everything! What's your Knack?
[Child 3] Just tell us what everyone can do!
[Morrigan] And that's why coffee's for grown-ups!
[Verse 2: Morrigan]
Dame Chanda Kali, her singing is so lovely,
Animals adore her, humans think she's kinda weird.
And then there's Ezra (We don't talk about Ezra!)
They say he could use Wunder, one day he disappeared.
Oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh), and that's my patron, Jupiter, he's awesome!
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), the truth is, he can see all your emotions.
Woah (Oh-oh-oh-oh), he can always tell what's fact or fiction.
Asking 'bout what he sees can be a real addiction!
Welcome to the Wunderous Society!
The home of the Wunderous Society!
(Hey, coming through!)
I know it sounds a bit impossible and crazy,
But I'm part of the Wunderous Society!
Two patrons love the Wunderous Society!
And send contestants to the Wunderous Society!
So, yeah, Baz Charleton sent in Cadence! and Nan Dawson sent in Hawthorne!
And now they're part of the Wunderous Society! (Let's go, let's go)
[Verse 3: Council]
We swear to always help those around us.
And earn the gifts that somehow surround us.
The world keeps growing, the world keeps turning.
But work and dedication will keep the flame burning.
And each new generation must keep the flame burning.
[Interlude 2]
[Child 2] There's so many people!
[Child 3] How do you keep 'em all straight?
[Mirabel] Okay, okay, okay, okay!
[Bridge: Morrigan & Ensemble]
So many kids in our house, so let's turn the sound up!
You know why? I think it's time for a student round-up!
(Student round-up!)
Lambeth Amara can see the future,
Cadence mesmerises, Thaddea goes rounds with trolls!
My closest friends are Hawthorne and Jack!
One strong, one graceful, perfect in every way.
(Jack's a Witness!) He sees everything, it's wild.
(Jack's a Witness!) He's the perfect golden child.
(Hawthorne, Hawthorne, Hawthorne, Hawthorne!)
Hawthorne rides dragons all day long!
The beauty and the brawn do no wrong.
[Chorus: Morrigan & Ensemble]
That's life in the Wunderous Society!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh!)
Now you know the Wunderous Society!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh!)
Where all the people are incredible and crazy!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh!)
That's who we are in the Wunderous Society!
[Interlude 3]
[Morrigan] See ya! Oh!
[Child 1] But what's your Knack?
[Morrigan] Ah!
[Chorus: Morrigan & Ensemble]
Well, I gotta go, life in the Society!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh!)
But now you all know the Wunderous Society!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh!)
I never meant this to start being all about me!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh!)
So just to review the Wunderous Society,
Let's go!
[Verse 5: Morrigan & Children]
(But what about Morrigan?)
It starts with the Council, and then Chandra Kali, whose singing is lovely.
(But what about Morrigan?)
My patron, Jupiter sees through the clutter to what's in your nutter!
(But what about Morrigan?)
Baz Charleton's a twat, but, we don't need to focus on that butt.
(But what about Morrigan?)
Hey, you said you wanna know what everyone does, I got classmates and teachers and- (Morrigan!)
My best friend Hawthorne won't stop until he makes you smile today! (Morrigan!)
My other friend, Thaddea, she's got a fight with a troll today! (Morrigan!)
Look, it's my friend Jack, hey,
You think you can make them step back? (Morrigan!)
'Cause between you and me, my head's about to crack,
Just distract them please 'cause thank you but I really gotta go! (Morrigan!)
My family's amazing, (Morrigan!)
And I'm in my family, so (Morrigan!)
Well…
[Outro: Jupiter]
Morrigan!

hi ash! could you possibly tell us about some of the books you’ve read about neurodivergency/autism and maybe recommend a few? no worries if you’re too busy, this month is always hectic for me too :)
Sure!
Neurotribes is my favorite - it's a big book, but well worth it and actually really readable. That was recommended to me by @redwingedwhump initially, but I bought a copy and it lives on my bookshelf now! One thing I like about this one is that it actually embraces the complexity and layers of good-and-bad-and-hard-and-simple of autism/neurodivergency.
I also have In A Different Key. This one is more of a history of autism in the United States, including recognition of it, treatment/attempts to "cure", the realization of a 'spectrum' as opposed to hard-and-fast specific diagnostics, the creation of Autism Speaks vs. its current iteration, and other aspects. I like it from an historical perspective, because this kind of history doesn't really exist anywhere else, but I feel like it badly misrepresents the neurodiversity movement and it, uh, definitely has some issues as far as representing autism as something horrifying in certain instances.
It's valuable as a history, and for research purposes, but I wouldn't recommend it without also picking up Neurotribes, which I give much more weight.
Following Ezra is one of the few parent-of-autistic-kid memoirs that doesn't treat the whole thing as an insurmountable tragedy, but instead acknowledges the titular autistic child - Ezra himself - as a whole and entire person. Tom's pride in raising Ezra is not in what "he" accomplishes, but in what Ezra grows himself into.
There is part of it where a therapist tries to get Tom to 'grieve' the 'loss' of a 'normal child', and Tom responds by pointing out that he doesn't feel the need to grieve, because Ezra is his beautiful little boy and his son and that's what matters. That attitude is very present in how I write Ronnie.
She doesn't waste time grieving some imaginary child that never existed - she loves, and parents, adores and is proud of, the child she gave birth to. It doesn't matter that other kids don't act like Tristan - she is Tristan's mom, that is the part that matters.
I like this memoir, but parent-of-autistic-child books can be... tricky, and feel very treacly or heavy-handed. I like this one for acknowledging that this is a book about a human being born into this world with a different brain, instead of so many that act like autism is a national disaster.
Uniquely Human is a good book, although it also occasionally has kind of "oh, what wonderful parents these parents be" thing happening here and there. I understand why - it is, in some ways, written with parents of autistic kids in mind. The upside, though, is that it's written with an eye towards supportive strategies, not 'cures'. He really focuses on learning about a person rather than relying on stereotypes or prescriptive bullshit, and about what support strategies will work for that individual. I saw this book recommended by Temple Grandin, which is why I picked it up.
I haven't read The Pattern Seekers yet, but it's on my list! It's essentially about the idea that neurodivergent brains have driven much of human innovation, and continue to do so even more in a modern world. I'm interested to see! This is one of the shorter books on the list, and it looks like it might be a pretty easy read.
Odd Girl Out is also on my to-read list - it's about someone who went through the diagnosis process as an adult, too.
I have been more or less assigned to read this book on very late diagnosis. Haven't yet. But it's in my amazon cart as we speak!
This is just a few of the books I've got on my shelf. I know my partner has a book on ADD in adults, but it's not in the house and I think we lent it to someone... let me hunt them down and see what the name of the book is.

birthday headcanons! (18+)
happy birthday to my best friend @haideku!! i love you!
in honor of Tatiana’s birthday, here are some headcanons of what an assortment of Pedro characters would do to treat their s/o on their birthday! (gender netural and 18+ for sexual content)
Din Djarin
Din doesn’t really get birthdays, as Mandalorian culture doesn’t celebrate them. When he realizes they’re important to you, though, he’ll go all out. he wants to show you all of his love and affection, and so he gets you a small but meaningful gift: a necklace with a stone from the planet you met on, a beskar bracelet or ring, something symbolic of your relationship. Grogu would love it the idea of celebrating, and he finger-paints the inside of the Crest with washable paints for you. you come back to the Crest with Grogu and Din both wearing paper party hats- Din’s over his helmet- and the little green bean happily honking a paper party horn. as long is the kid is asleep at a reasonable hour, the two of you might sneak up to the cockpit to have a little grown-up fun.
Maxwell Lord
if you’re an extrovert, Maxwell will be holding a gala in your honor. the two of you will host the black-tie occasion with catering from your favorite restaurant, live musicians singing all of your favorites, and an open bar featuring your favorite alcoholic beverages. if you’re an introvert, Maxwell would take you on a vacation! put in your vacation time now, because you’ll be staying at the top-notch resort of wherever you want to go. the Bahamas? skiing? to the city? Maxwell will make it happen. he’ll pamper you with anything you wish for, and make sure he’s sexually doing that too. now’s the time to pull out something you’ve been wanting to try with him, because he’ll enthusiastically agree to do it no matter what.
Javier Peña
Javi isn’t a big birthday guy himself- it just reminds him that he’s getting older. most likely, Javier would get a reservation for a fancy restaurant for the two of you, and you’d have a quiet and intimate night. he’d buy you flowers- red roses, specifically, for passion- and maybe a nice piece of jewelry that he noticed you’d been into. when you get home, you’re going to have the most amazing birthday sex- this is the Javier Peña we’re talking about. you’ll have multiple orgasms before he even has one, and he’s going to make it all about you.
Oberyn Martell
birthday sex. hello? it’s obvious that he’d make sure the entire day is spent in bed, celebrating your body in every way he physically can. while Oberyn tends to be more dominant in bed, everything he does is for you, soft and slow or rough if you want it that way. besides that, he’s still a prince. the night is spent at a massive feast in your honor, with a huge spread of all of your favorite foods for everyone in the kingdom. he’d shower you with gifts, with fine clothes and foods and trinkets from far away lands.
Frankie Morales
this is going to be the smallest celebration, but it’ll mean the most. Frankie is a pretty introverted guy, and so he’d spend the whole day shoving you out of the house so that he can decorate it. the house would be filled with twinkle lights and decorations, the lights dimmed, and he’d make his mamá’s classic recipe that you absolutely adore for dinner. he’d give you some small but meaningful gifts, things he knows you had your eye on or that reminded him of you. he’d also love to take you for a nighttime flight over your city in the helicopter, just the two of you. Frankie would be super sweet in bed, taking his time with you and making it a pretty long night for you two.
Ezra (Prospect)
There’s not much you can do to celebrate when you’re out prospecting for aurelac. luckily, Ezra has cleared the entire day for the two of you to allow you to just relax in your pod, and maybe to take a trip to your favorite planet. he’d write you poems or a sonnet, words being his strongest suit, and make sure to use his mouth in many other ways to make you fully aware of his love as well.
Marcus Moreno
Marcus would go all out, are we surprised? he and Missy spend the month before your birthday shopping for you, showering you with presents that made him think of you. he’s amazing with metals, since that’s his super power, so I could see him making you something out of metal: a home decoration of a symbol that’s meaningful to you, or maybe a piece of jewelry. whatever it is, he metalbent it specifically for you out of your favorite metal, whether that be silver or gold or anything your heart desires really. Marcus would cook you a fancy dinner in his home, then cuddle and kiss all over you while you watch a movie. if Missy isn’t home, things could get a little frisky after dessert.
Agent Whiskey
Whiskey is a wild card; most likely, I could see him asking you what you want to do for your birthday and doing exactly that. If you leave it up to him, he’d take you out to the boondocks surrounding the Statesman distillery to watch the stars and have a night picnic with wine and snacks. he’d give you some fancy Statesman gadget that also doubles as something meaningful- maybe a ring with a retractable poison spike, or a necklace with something hidden inside it. Jack would make love to you out there under the stars, either in the back of his Bronco or on a soft blanket.
Marcus Pike
Marcus Pike is the sweetest angel to ever live, and he spoils you. If your birthday is on a weekday, he shows up to your job with your favorite coffee, balloons, and flowers. yes, it’s cheesy, but it’s incredibly adorable when it’s coming from him. he’ll bring you lunch at work then take you to a lovely date night- a museum, a movie or a show, whatever the two of you love doing best, and dinner at your favorite place. after, you know he’ll be having incredibly sweet and loving sex with you.

NEW! The Fire of the Innocent Sun: Jasper Hale x Fleur Hale, Chapter 5
Authors note: Again some elements of the movie and book have been changed. Remember when this song was popular?
"I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake."
Ghost by, Ella Henderson
I hadn't been down to the reservation in a while it's lush trees and plants were turning orange and yellow and its grass was still damp and slippery. It was as if it was frozen in time, being dormant in constant rain and coldness. Before I knew it I was at Billy Black's house, an uneasiness was nestled within my stomach. I didn't know how Jacob would react or how much he had changed. I knew he was still hurt after all the manipulation Bella had put him through and I didn't know how he would treat me. Would it be was cheerfulness and joy or would his heart freeze over and reject my plea immediately? I didn't have much time to ponder over my choices as the door had swung open. A smile greeted me at the door, Billy Black hadn't changed much... it gave me a sense of comfort.
"Fleur, it is so nice to see you again...Sam told me the situation you're in... I hope you make it out okay." Billy said, moving aside for me to come in.
"Thank you, I hope we do too... Did dad show you pictures of Ezra?"
Billy chuckled before answering me.
"You know he did, he looks a lot like you two... same black hair and brown eyes."
"He doesn't have my personality that's for sure."
"What's he like?"
"He's a lot like Jasper... calm and collected the only thing he got from me was my love for the Earth. He is obsessed with plants, water, and he is absolutely fascinated by space it's adorable." I smiled at the thought of my son... I never knew how much love I could feel someone until I had him. I loved Jasper to death of course but having a child just opens your eyes that much more.
"Not that I'm complaining that you visited but, there is a reason you're here I'm sure."
I looked at him, guilt replaced my joy.
"Yeah, there is... I need to talk to Jacob, is he here?"
"He might be down at the beach, if he's not there he's in the barn house."
"Thank you, Billy. It's so nice seeing you again." I said, I bent down to hug him.
I then turned around walking toward the front door, I walked down to La Push. The nerves had set in again and if I could, my palms would probably be sweaty. The wet gravel crunched beneath my feet and the wind howled loudly. I had stopped and looked around, the ocean looked grey matching the sky perfectly.
"What are you doing here?" I sternly voiced asked from behind me.
I slowly turned around and saw Jacob staring at me. The disdain was riddled in his eyes.
"Hey, Jacob..."
"What are you doing here?" He asked again he sounded angrier.
"I wouldn't bother you if it wasn't important... I think you know everything that is going on right now."
"I know some of it but that's not my problem. I left Sam's pack."
My eyes widened, shock replaced my apprehensiveness.
"What? Why?"
"I didn't feel the need to be there anymore... and before you even ask you know why."
"It is Bella?"
"Ding ding ding."
"I'm sorry Jacob... I know my sister really hurt you."
"Not like you care."
I walked up to him looking him dead in the eye.
"Of course I do! Jake, I've known you since I was a little girl... you were one of my best friends. I know you can't stand what am I but I am always going to care about you."
His eyes filled with sadness but relief began to shine through. I took a chance and pulled him in for a hug, he reciprocated it. I could feel hot droplets of water fall onto my clothes.
"She really fucking hurt me."
Venom leaked from my eyes and my face scrunched up.
"She hurt me too."
I didn't know how long I was standing there with him but suddenly the sun filled my vision. It was like our walls built with coldness and ice were beginning to thaw. I hadn't really talked much about any of this with Jasper or the others. No matter how much she screwed me over she was still my sister. As much as I didn't want to I loved her and I always would. Jacob and I pulled apart, I could see the relief on his face. He must've been holding all of this in too, all of that pain stuffed into a bottle that was about ready to burst.
"So... what did you need?" He asked, a small smile was on his face.
"You know I had a son?"
"Yeah, I do... Billy tells me all the time about the photos your dad shows him."
"Well... Bella and Edward told the Volturi about him and now they're coming after all of us."
"Wow... So that's where she went."
"Yeah... Leah told me that a lot more people are turning because of the vampires we found to help us out."
"So you're asked me to help the wolves out."
"Damn didn't even have to finish my statement."
Jacob laughed before answering.
"I'm in... you're going to need all the help you can get."
"Thank you so much Jacob you do not know how much I appreciate this."
Timeskip: 2 hours later
Jacob and I drove back down to the Cullens' house, I wondered how they would react. When I pulled into the driveway I saw Jasper and Rosalie waiting for me.
"Oh boy..." I muttered to myself. Jacob and I got out of the car and approached them.
"Fleur where were you?" Jasper asked.
"I had to find a little bit more help," I said, gesturing toward Jacob.
"Jacob, nice to see you again." Jasper greeted, I could tell he was tense.
"Don't worry I'm not gonna try anything on you guys... even if blondie tries to poison me."
"Don't push your luck." Rosalie threatened, her eyes took on a deadly look and her finger was pointed at him.
"Okay you two settle down and get in the house," I said, trying to breaking the tension. Before we could however I could he the sound of two people running. Their speed wasn't one of a human Rosalie, Jasper, and Jacob would all hear it too.
"Rosalie get Carlisle now!" I said.
Rosalie quickly ran into the house.
Before I knew it two men were standing in front of me... both were unfamiliar.
"Who are you?"
The door behind me swung open and Carlisle called out toward the two people. Kate, Rosalie, and Emmett were right behind him.
"Vladimir, Stefan, you're a long way from home."
"What are they doing here?" I heard Kate inquire.
"We heard the Volturi were moving against you. But that you would not stand alone." Vladimir answered.
"We didn't do what we were accused of," I stated.
"We do not care what you did."
"We have been waiting a millennium for the Italian scum to be challenged," Stefan said in eagerness.
"It's not our plan to fight the Volturi," Carlisle said quickly.
"Shame. Aro's witnesses will be so disappointed."
"They enjoy a good fight."
"Aro's witnesses?" I asked.
"Aww. Still, hoping they'll listen?" Vladimir said to me mockingly.
"When Aro wants someone from a coven it's never long before evidence turns up proving that coven committed some crime."
"So he's done this before?" I said, anger leaked in my voice and I quickly whipped my head around to look at Carlisle.
"It happens so rarely, I never realized it was a pattern," Carlisle replied.
"How in the hell do you not remember that he's done this before you've lived for hundreds of years!"
"I can't really tell you Fleur... I just know he always pardons one person whose thoughts he claims are repentant. This person always has an ability. And they're always given a place with the Guard."
"It has to be about Alice. He has no one like her!" I started.
"Which is why she left." Jasper finished for me.
"Why does he need witnesses?" Emmett asked.
"To spread the word that justice has been served. After he slaughters an entire coven." Vladimir answered.
"Come on inside, we need to tell everyone else the news," Carlisle said.
You could imagine the faces of everyone when they revealed the pattern of the Volturi. Horror and shocked were all anyone could feel in the room.
"Benjamin, Tia, we're leaving. NOW!" Amun demanded.
I quickly jumped up blocking his way toward the exit.
"And where will you go? What makes you think they'll be satisfied with Alice? What's to stop them from going after Benjamin next? Or Zafrina or Kate, Bree, or anyone else with a gift?" I started, I looked toward Jasper for support.
"They will try to get anyone they want. Their goal isn't punishment, it's power. It's acquisition. Carlisle might not ask you to fight, but Fleur and I will. For the sake of my family. But also for yours. And for the way you want to live." Jasper added.
Jacob and Leah looked at each other before nodding slightly toward one another.
"The pack will fight. We've never been afraid of vampires."
"We will fight," Kate said, Tanya, Elezar, and Carmen nodded in agreement.
"This won't be the first time I fought a king's rule." Garrett added.
"We'll join you." Benjamin said, smiling at me."
"No, we will not!"
"I will do the right thing, Amun. You may do as you please." Benjamin said dismissing Amun.
"We will stand with you."
"So will we."
I looked at everyone before thanking them.
"We're going to take down these bastards once and for all."

The MandoVerse
Wowza, there’s been a lot to unpack these past couple of episodes of The Book of Boba Fett.
Don’t have a lot of brain power left at this late point of the day but I will try mention a few things in Chapter 6 that stuck out to me:
1. The last 2 episodes have been sort of like watching the Arrowverse on the CW where all the superhero characters cross over for some big event arc. I truly enjoy the Mandalorian and Luke and Grogu so I have no complaints about seeing more of what is going on in their neck of the woods, but since we the audience didn’t get a heads up on this whole crossover angle to embrace it in some form of context, it feels odd that Boba is barely a cameo in his own show right about now. I think the Jawas have had more screen time than him. Presumably, this is all weaving together and Boba (and Fennec) will be back in the forefront of mix before the season ends.
2. R2-D2, I always love to see you. You are an imp in the best of ways. The same to you, Cad Bane, even though you are also an awful, horrid being. And yet, you didn’t kill Cobb Vance because you didn’t want to for some reason, so there’s that.
3. Ahsoka Tano, I adore you and yet you never fail to annoy me somehow. I’m going to hope the story plays out well with Grogu and Mando...but right now I’m remembering how you told Hera to let Kanan stay a prisoner of the Empire to be tortured and killed, then told Ezra to let Kanan stay dead right after he saved you in the World Between Worlds...and now you basically told Din that seeing Grogu would only cause Grogu pain. So you’re in the Tusken dog house for the moment.
4. I sure hope all those people in Garza’s casino club are not in tiny pieces. Please not Max and the jizz band! I’m pretty sure there will be some survivors, including the madam herself, but that was pretty darn unexpected and evil of the Pykes.
5. I want to see Grogu in his tiny beskar chain mail vest, and I want to see him wield Yoda’s lightsaber one day. Alongside daddy Din with his Darksaber, of course. I think Luke is helping Grogu and Din to get to that point even though it might not seem like it at this stage of the story.
6. Yay, our grumpy gladiator Wookiee is working for Boba. I’m still not crazy about the Mods. No doubt all the rival crime lord gangs are going to be pulled into this war with the Pykes. For a backwater, dirtball of a planet, Tatooine sure has a lot going on.
7. I’ve really enjoyed a lot of the visuals like the ringworld and these ant builder droids. Lots of tidbits in the background and easter eggs all over the place.
8. Last, and certainly a frivolous and self-indulgent finale: I wouldn’t mind at all if one of our word wizards out there writes an early Kanera fanfic where Kanan is dressed in the same outfit Garza’s dear, green male Twi’lek wears so well :3
In closing, I know some were not all that happy with today’s offering for a variety of reasons. I’m actually looking forward to Chapter 7 to see how the Mandoverse will culminate in a way that leaves the majority of the audience feeling content with how their fave characters were treated rather than enraged.
