#is very funny and also adorable to me in the gesture he makes I can't help it

Truly the José Ferrer version of Cyrano de Bergerac is the best by far because by the end of the film he has you convinced he's the most attractive man ever, even if he still doesn't believe it, and that is at the core of what the play is about
#Le Bret at first‚ Christian later on but quite soon and Roxane by the end but much earlier with Christian convinced his looks don't matter#and that his nose is not so ugly or grotesque to make him unlovable‚ not even hard to love#but he dies convinced he can't be loved because unlike the princes in fairytale he remains himself#and his ugliness doesn't disappear when being loved#Le Bret is frustrated about this even before he is on stage!!! I love the scene with the seller girl on Act I#I love that they included it in this adaptation#And I love that Le Bret scoffs when Cyrano tells him he can't confess his love due to his looks in this version#Anyway... Cyrano being a bit shitty in this version and helping Rageneau because otherwise the bakery won't be open#is very funny and also adorable to me in the gesture he makes I can't help it#As it is that he just totally forgets about Ragueneau by the end of the act. I adore that Le Bret tries to go help him#but only when he considers Cyrano is in trouble. I love how well Le Bret manages his pride#And I love that at the beginning of act II in this adaptation Cyrano is anxious about Roxane changing her mind and Ragueneau comforts him#I can't with the duality of this man I adore him. I want to hug him like a plushie. I want to put him in a blender and drink him like juice#Cyrano#Cyrano de Bergerac#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later#José Ferrer is also the best at managing the anger/fun/sad emotions in my opinion. Depardieu is too sad. Kline is too funny#Dinklage is no fun at all and the Jacques Webber version is also too sad. There's another version where the actor was no fun at all either#and definitely too old. The Solès version manages this dance of emotivity quite decently as well in my opinion#but I just prefer Ferrer most of the time. He is dignified and fun and frustrated and confident‚#so very angry but also loving and self-conscious and a bit bashful at times#And what a voice. What a voice. Truly the best Cyrano's voice of them all. It is important in the play but until I started watching#different versions I didn't truly process just how important the voice is and Ferrer has that velvety growl that is so perfect for this#Oh Mcavoy. I forgot about him. He had potential but I think he is a tad too sad for my liking and mainly not fun enough#but I think it's a problem of the production more than the actor's delivery. He had it in him. We see glimpses#I'm missing some others but meh it doesn't matter

seventeen reaction of you pulling their belt to kiss them
Tbh I couldn't stop thinking abt this, this isn't even an idea I really considered before but I love it anon :3 also again - I think I'm really funny hehe
Seungcheol
100/10 loves it
Totally a belt guy anyways
Thinks it's super adorable how you try to be domineering about it
Fully expects you to maintain that attitude by taking his belt off and getting on your knees
But that's only after a sweet kissing session because he truly loves just making out with you or simple pecks of affection
He's good at taking a belt off (there's that one concert video that lives rent free in my head) but he also likes to test if you're just as good at it and practice makes perfect :)
So if you pull at his belt, expect there to be an accompanying long lesson and night afterwards full of high expectations
Jeonghan
Kinda hates it
He's sensitive okay - doesn't like being yoinked around
If you wanted a kiss, then just ask him like a normal human????
But really only maintains that sour puss attitude in public
Still, he will roll his eyes when you do it at home and sometimes just doesn't wear a belt so you can't - as if that's going to stop you??
"Your pants are falling down hannie" And? What are you going to do about it?
It's kind of annoying because then he buys super tight pants and you can't stop staring at his ass(ets)
I can't tell if this is a win or lose situation but I'm banking on it as a win - just make sure you take his pants off soon so he gets some circulation ;)
Joshua
Pretends to act all cool but sincerely flustered
He wants to be the one that flusters you but fails miserably and you can't even kiss him because he's instantly turning his face away to prevent himself from being exposed
Actually, I think maybe he hates it because he likes having the upper hand so he can escape being embarrassed but instantly loses when you do that
So he's very pouty and refuses to let you kiss him as stated before
But that fails as well because how can he resist you for too long?
Just know that he'll want lots of love and reassurance afterwards and/or will be a very mean dom the rest of the night in bed :P
Junhui
Shocked by it but definitely loves when you do it
"Hey guys, look at what my s/o can do!"
Jun pls this isn't a talent show
Won't let you kiss him at all if you don't tug at him first
Which is so obnoxious because he also thought you were reaching for his dick and makes everyone think that as well
And of course you wanna kiss your idiot so you just give in and it's good at keeping him quiet
Also think he'd be really annoying if you're trying to seduce him, you know like laying sexily across the bed or smth but he won't come over and just grins with his tongue poking his cheek
I think he likes when you're aggressive with him but in the "I love you idiot so much but can you just get your cute ass over here and fuck me" kind of way
Soonyoung
LOVES THIS
Totally buys a leather collar that he wears and if he's feeling extra feisty he'll attach a leash so you can really yank him around then
Ahem, anyways, he's so embarrassing because he'll make a big show that he's wearing a belt - so you and everyone else knows
Tucks in his shirt and keeps gesturing to it and wiggling his eyebrows
Adjusts his belt enough times everyone thinks he has intestinal issues or something except you're mortified because you know what he's hinting to
And he's even worse when drunk dear lord like he can't help but give kisses and more love to the world but he also loves smooching in general
So he would spill any and all secrets like how much he enjoys it when you yoink him around and everyone is cringing as he sways eagerly back and forth
And then you demonstrate it perfectly by lugging him home and away from the public eye
Wonwoo
I think he digs it because he loves the possessiveness of it all
Like he'll constantly want your hands on him in some way
He's the kind that wants to have a hand in your back pocket and vice versa
It's nice because he can easily cuddle into your side
But yeah, unintentionally pisses you off by having random people coming up to flirt with him because he's hot and they don't get the hint of him giving them the cold shoulder
Smirks when he sees you storming over or just yanking the front of his body towards you so that you can kiss him
He never does it to make you jealous or anything but you both are very much up in each other's bodies and business so it's only natural for you to stake your claim on each other
Jihoon
Acts like he hates it, secretly it makes his knees weak
My dear tsundere, I think the first time it happens it ends up terribly because he's not expecting it and you weren't anticipating on pulling so hard so you nearly knock each other's teeth out
He's like, what's wrong with you and you tearily complain he wasn't paying attention to you
Of course, he feels really bad and secretly I wonder if he will just act this way on the occasion so you can display your clingy, demanding side
Not that he'd ever admit it
He's also a busy man
Grumbles under his breath before you kiss him but he's grinning once your lips meet his hehe
Seokmin
Definitely shocked, no matter how many times you do it - eyes wide in surprise before they scrunch cutely when he smiles
He's a tiny bean man inside a large body so he totally lets you manhandle him around even if he's the one that has a better chance of throwing you around instead
Instantly nose bumps you, loves that you want him close
Starts giggling whenever he feels your hand creep around his waist and lets his body go lax lmao
Speaking of his nose, it's prolly the first thing you kiss because it's closer to you than his lips hahaha and it's just so kissable
Also smooching his moles is a fabulous pastime and you can really make sure to find each one with him so close in your arms and he loves it so much practically vibrating in happiness in your arms *cries*
Mingyu
I think he's totally into it but he's a little unaware he's all beef and muscle and a little impossible to throw him around all that easily
It's a disaster lbr whenever you do it
He either doesn't budge or he's body slamming you unsexily across the room
You'll definitely break/chip a nail off his belt and he probably is sobbing across the room from ramming headfirst into a wall or something also he just feels bad
So you kiss it all better and promise not to do it without warning him first
Once you get the feel for it, it's still a haphazard mess because his big tiddies are always up in your business and he's clumsy af but he's grinning so stupidly in love, you can't complain and just have to kiss him
Minghao
I think when Hao wears a belt, it's not just for functionality but also a fashion statement like those really heavy, fancy, gem-filled, million dollar ones
So, I think he'd be a little affronted that you would just casually yank at it for no good reason
Although when he realizes it's because you want kithes then he's more understanding
But also has the same vibes of like just ask for a kiss like a normal human
Now though, whenever he buys a belt, he's examining it for yanking purposes
It's actually irritating because he asks your opinion - serious too like he's not even poking fun - and it's not for its design but if you'd be able to pull at it effectively pls
Also in the back of his mind, he's considering if it'll tie your wrists up well but that's another story :)
Seungkwan
I know he'd be all cute and embarrassed, hiding his face behind his hands as he giggles, BUT I'm also thinking about alternative scenarios
Just like doing it whenever he's acting sassy or even when you're bantering back and forth and not a single point is being made or understood or agreed upon
So, to shut him up you tug him by the belt and smooch him
Astonished at your audacity, fluttering in his tummy, cheeks burning <3
You always get your way if you do that and he vows every instance that it will be the last time but forgets about it once he gets fired up again
It's okay because you can just silence him effectively every time, stay winning!
Vernon
The first time was a total accident
You were on the dance floor being the awkward couple you are when some drunk nearly spilled their glass on him
So you yanked him by the belt buckle without even thinking and he's super close so you can't help but kiss him
I feel like he's definitely into it after that but he wears sweatpants 90% of the time but he still wants you to do it
I'm sure the feeling of his waistband snapping against his hips makes him feel things :)
And since he wears a belt and jeans a lot more when you're out and about, he still wants you to do it so it ends up as a public display of affection and whatnot
Also he's a lil spatially unaware still so it's also a good safety measure
Chan
Thinks you're insane for this in the best way possible
Makes you do it like twenty times and his eyes and mouth are so wide each time
"Do it again."
Your arms ache actually because he WILL test and see how much strength you have to yank him around different times
So annoying about it that you might not ever do it again frankly
But it's hard when he doesn't always pay attention when you're talking to him in loud places or goofing off with his friends
So you do tug at his belt which only makes his eyes sparkle and you're like oh no, here we go again...
It's hard to tell if he's doing that on purpose or not but he's also a little small brained so honestly, who knows?
It's a good thing you love him <3

Tumblr media
Maribor recap or long rambling, some pics and trying to make sense in my head:
1. Thank you @chibi-chellist again for reaching out, it meant a lot not to be alone! Rambling about the boys is so much better in person and when it's not one-sided. I enjoyed meeting you and sharing experiences! 💕
2. Kaj pa Ester? is one of the cringiest things I've recently seen, especially dialog wise haha BUT it is also funny and kinda cute. Very teenage-y I guess, with too much lots of kissing and parties for which scenes they used some terrible modern cajke music (like use the good old soul ripping ones that don't mention Elon Musk... teenagers today smh). Anyway, I wouldn't mind it being longer and better developed in the emotional areas which you see they scratched but need deepening to give an actual sense of plot and sense to the movie. Could be due to the fact it was supposed to be a show first tho. However, I couldn't see Bojan's personality, mannerisms or gestures so in that sense I feel he did a great job acting 👏
And THE SCENE. Oh boy. Less sad and more frustrated bojerking. Putting shame aside to admit I would love to have it available on demand, especially for some ragged breathing appreciation...
3. Bought and tried Jan's fav cookies, yaay! They're really soft and don't crumble so I approve and will enjoy. I'm sure sentimental reasons are definitely a big part of why he named them as favorite and when I think about it they really suit him but there are better Slovenian cookies like almost any from Težak bakery in Zreče.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4. Half the venue were teenagers or parents with anything between 4 to 12 year olds. I was surrounded. And since I sat a few rows above the backstage entrance, kids all tried reaching for them as they were going off stage and among all the girls there was an 8 (?) year old boy who reached out and Bojan gave him a high-five... and lemme tell you I very much dislike kids but the way that boy turned and excitedly smiled melted my icy heart.
5. Third concert of theirs, third time on Jan's side. And I think Kris somehow knows & takes revenge by not singing NGVOT whenever I'm in the audience 😔
Well Krisko, princess dear, no photos of you 😝
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. Found it adorable how as ASTP was starting, Nace went to drink some water, took his bottle and clinked it against Jure's 🥂
7. Love that Maks was there again, I like the guy. At some point during the concert he was leaning on the fence above me taking pics and I missed half a song watching him work 🙈
8. As I was behind the loudspeakers, I heard Bojan's singing fine, but talking barely because it was often too distorted. What I did hear was him saying we came there for a workout to burn all the cookie calories from the last few days... and boy are you on the wrong track because I came back home with four different packs of cookies 🍪
9. Band dad Niko's daughter was with him watching the concert from next to the stage and he danced with her and it was adorable. The existence of good dads baffles my poor unloved ass...
10. We all know how in the setlist there's a connection between Padam and Demoni because Bojan even sometimes said "and when we fall they come", but I realised the chain starts with Dopamin. First you get a dopamine rush and feel like flying but soon you experience a crash because your body used up all the good stuff and then comes the falling and the demons (and then you go back to someone so the demons would go away but that someone just plays you again - if I wanna extend it to Katrina). Yes it's kind of a concert - post concert sadness - concert rinse&repeat metaphor
11. Janči had problems with his pedalboard for the first two or three songs, he and Kiki spent minutes fiddling with it trying to get it to work. Poor guy can't catch a break.
12. So yeah, the last point is based on Jan being sick, but it's actually about the main reason I like them so much - the connection, love and care they share.
I realised Jan wasn't okay during the concert so Bojan just confirmed it for me. He obviously still slayed, and he went to play at the front a lot, but there were telling moments.
A) When Bojan came to Jan at one point and rubbed his back in a very non performative way, squeezing at his shoulder and whispering something.
B) When Jan plopped down during Padam I thought "not when he usually goes down, is he okay?" and then Bojan leaned down to stroke his hair.
C) The most telling of all, when he sat down during Umazane misli. I kept looking at him, ignoring the left-front-right karaoke. He looked so tired and off, put his head in his hands and then Kiki gave him a bottle of water. When Nace turned around and noticed him like that, he smiled encouragingly and told him it's okay three times (yep they were close enough to read lips) and that's when I was 100% sure something was wrong and he was either feeling off emotionally or sick. He then got up, went to the front, played his ass off and only when he was walking back was it visable again for a moment how empty his expression was.
D) Jure coming to comfort him and cheer him up as soon as he could lift his ass away from those drums, leading him to the front where in the end Jan turned out to be the one stroking Nace's back in a "yeah it's okay" kinda way
E) As they were leaving for the final time, someone gave Jan a wrapped present he looked actually happy about and he threw back a pick but it fell where the person couldn't reach so Nace took over making sure the person gets it.
That's it. They are all utterly beautiful. And anyone who knows me, knows I use that word to describe people first and foremost on the inside. Beautiful.

hands (un)tied (aegon targaryen x highborn!reader)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: aegon, your best friend, is jealous because you danced with his younger brother. he isn't very happy about it and asks you to teach him, just so he could use it as an excuse to put his hands on you.
cw: fluff? this man is a simp, ooc
Tumblr media
"Can you teach me to dance?" You turned your head towards Aegon, surprised. Mostly at his honesty, but you knew he wasn't much of a dancer.
"You don't know how to?" You raised your eyebrows at your friend. Aegon just shrugged, "I never needed to learn, I had my 'Future King' duties that occupied most of my time."
The dinner was finished and everyone went to their chambers, leaving you and Aegon alone. During the dinner you stood up to dance with Aemond and he was quite skilled. It was a lot of fun, you two laughed, a bit tipsy from the wine, but you still managed to notice the stares Aegon was giving you. His violet eyes were shooting daggers in your direction and you couldn't understand why. He then swallowed the rest of his wine, throwing his head back. He looked pretty pissed off.
"Why do you want to learn now?" You nudged him. You weren't that curious, but teasing him was too much fun. And he was so gorgeous when he didn't know what to say. He can't talk his way out with you.
"Well? Are you going to answer?" His pretty face frowned and he looked down, raising his brows in annoyance.
"You know what? Sorry I asked. Let's get to bed, the hour is late." He stood up and started to walk away. Now you were annoyed. You followed him.
"Is it because of Aemond?" You grabbed his forearm and he turned to face you finally. When he said nothing you tried not to laugh at him. He was jealous? Because you were having fun with Aemond?
"What is so funny?" He asked you, still serious. You couldn't stop the laugh that escaped your mouth. You buried your face in your hands, your shoulders shaking.
"You were jealous of your brother?" Your eyes were glassy and cheeks red. "Aw, poor Aegon," you stepped towards him and jokingly hugged him, but he didn't seem too be enjoying it too much.
"If you're just going to make fun of me then—"
"No! I'm not! I swear," you tried not to smile at his serious expression. "It's just..." You sighed, "Why would you be jealous of Aemond? We were just dancing. Are you scared I'll start to like him more?" You teased and you could see a glimpse of a smile on his melancholic face.
"That's one way to put it." He looked up, not meeting your gaze.
"Well, since you don't want to talk to me, let's dance."
His eyes glimmered in the dim light and you could see he was excited. You had no music since everyone left way before you two, but it didn't seem to bother him.
You took his hand and led him to the center of the room, where you danced with Aemond minutes ago.
You could see Aegon was nervous as he held your hand like it was made of porcelain. He was acting weirder than usual. Almost insecure. But you knew he was far from that.
"Stop with that." You scorned him.
"With what?"
"With that," you made a gesture with your hands, "Nervous act you have going on."
"But I am nervous," he let out a small laugh.
"Oh, come on! I've seen you dance before. It wasn't that good, but still."
"Yes, but..."
"But?" You crossed your arms.
"I've never danced with you." Your smile grew wider with each word that left his mouth. "Well, I don't bite, so you have nothing to be nervous about."
"Shall we begin?" You took his hand and began to explain your favorite dance.
"Listen carefully. Your right hand should be here," you placed it on your waist, "Left like this," he took your hand into his.
He was too concentrated, it was adorable. "Now try to move little less stiff, like this," you took a graceful step to the side and he followed, his hand burning on your hip. "Also, don't let your right hand hang like that," you pressed your palm on his hand to show him how tight he needs to hold you.
He was a couple of inches taller than you, but it wasn't a major height difference. You looked up at him and smiled at his concentrated look.
Aegon took another step, just like you showed him and his chest pressed into yours, as you tried to shrug away the burning feeling. You felt lightheaded and you cursed yourself for telling him to hold you tighter. It clearly wasn't helping since you started to forget the steps and you bumped into his chest once more.
"It appears that your dancing skills have downgraded since you're not dancing with my brother."
"Nonsense. I'm just tired."
"You weren't tired with him," he cocked his head as he squeezed the flesh of your waist. Your cheeks reddened at his gesture. Then he made a move that you haven't taught him yet. He turned you around, pressing your back to his chest.
"Aegon, what are you doing?"
He put his chin on your shoulder, but you couldn't see his face. He did that on purpose. "I don't want to see you and Aemond together again. Not like that."
His lips threatened to fall on the soft skin of your neck, but he managed to resist. He started acting like his usual self again.
"Then you should ask me to dance more often from now on." You tried to keep a light tone, but your voice came out as a whisper. "Or am I asking too much? Will His Grace be bothered to spare me a second glance—"
He cut you off by turning you to face him and pressing his lips to yours. Without any hesitation, you opened your mouth to him, feeling his tongue graze your lower lip. You grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him closer, as his mouth lowered on your throat and collarbone, leaving soft kisses all over.
You gripped his sleeve, "We should stop."
"Mhm," he shut you up once again by grabbing your neck and kissing your already swollen lips. You almost made a embarrassingly loud noise, but managed to control yourself.
To your surprise, he stopped, not removing his hand from your throat. "I'm looking forward to the next dinner."

Isn't Bite Also Touch?
(Loki X female demon!reader)
Chapter 8! — read it all here.
Summary: You and Loki have the first training practice together with the Avengers.
Tumblr media
“Who the Hell is Ediel?” Clint asked. “I swear you are bringing people for free from now on.”
It's the first training practice that you're joining along with the Avengers.
“I agree with Hawkeye.” You say, a hand holding your foot up in your stretching. You're all preparing yourselves before starting the exercises. "The Avengers are just accepting free forms at this point.”
“I never even heard this name Ediel in the Bible,” Clint comments, shrugging his shoulders. “Not that I've really paid attention.”
“Maybe it's a made-up name,” you say as if you don't know the truth.
“I love how you're just gossiping about him as if you don't know his life,” Thor brings up with a smile. You give a smile back, sticking your tongue out. “It's kind of funny.”
“Listen, dude. I'm just saying,” There's a twinkle to your expression as you share. “Maybe…if you search for his pictures you'll see his real name.”
“You're the first person that I've ever seen call Thor a dude,” Nat says and you laugh.
“I literally couldn't care less.” Clint expresses with a tired grunt, referring to all the Ediel talk. He was wrapping some bandage wrap around his fist because it was covered by a large bruise.
Ediel was taking pictures somewhere else, it was understandable to say that the humans loved Ediel, since the party scandal. They adored him, it left you infuriated. 
He wasn't even that special, you could do so many more things than him, you were overly powerful, your powers crossed the limits throughout Hell and Earth. You were a child of Satan.
Yet, he was what they wanted to take pictures of. Bunch of fools. 
They're pathetic.
You cross your arms as you look at the team preparing their places, you angrily mutter out your thoughts of him. “Idiot, he's a fool.”
“Anyone from a thousand miles would be able to hear your angry mumbling.” Loki says, coming to your side, crouching down to where you stood sitting near the wall.
“I'm not mumbling, I don't do that.” You cock your head, barely turning to face him. “You know, you were nicer to me when you didn't know I was a demon,” you muse.
He looks at you, amused by your sudden statement.
“When I first saw you you seemed like the most powerful creature my eyes had ever seen,” you blush at his words, that does leave you a bit baffled and speechless. “I wasn't anticipating any family issues in your life story.” He says, remembering the Angel.
You grunt in annoyance, still with your arms crossed childishly. 
“As I said, you don't know me.”
“That's right,” he looks elsewhere. “I despise you.”
That stings a bit more than you expected. How could he claim not to like you? You've barely ever done anything to him.
“Just now, right?” He looks at you with curiosity, and a frown. “You didn't hate me when we first met. You were kind.”
He looks around the room as you say that, quietly remembering his pleasantry when he thought you were just a very powerful witch. He didn't want to think about being too soft and trusting with a demon, but you've done nothing if not show him loyalty and… friendliness.
And on the contrary to his beliefs, he was feeling yet stronger every day, after spending it with you.
He thought you'd weaken him. He thought he should keep himself away. 
He tried to shake away the small bubbling guilt he started to feel. He could see the little bruise, almost non-perceptible, that he'd left on your lips.
“Honestly,” he clears his throat. “I feel like it makes sense for me to doubt your truth.” He tries to explain, he knew you were lying to him about something you wouldn't tell.
You tilt your head arrogantly.
“Well, then you can despise me very far away from me,” you shoosh him away with your hands, like you're guiding a dog out. “Go, go, leave me alone.” 
He looks incredulous, kind of entertained by your gestures.
“You can't treat me like that, are you serious?” He says, but he's smiling at your funny attempts to stop him from bothering you. “I'm not a dog.”
“One day,” you confidently start. “I'll make you my little pet. My dog, a very misbehaved stray for me to train. Mark my words. You'll kneel at my feet.” He feels the power behind those words reach his groins as he shamelessly gives you an infuriating smile.
“Don't threaten me with a good time.”
“I'm being nice, you literally compared me to a–” you paused dramatically to say the next word. “bug, if you remember, from earlier, a bug.”
“Forgive me,” he said, smiling at you. It didn't feel very sincere.
You were quite shaken from his behavior, as much as you love playfully annoying him, his constant emotional barrier strikes you by surprise at times. 
Surprise only, not sadness. You wouldn't let yourself feel inferior for that, much less his silly offending names during rough sexual acts.
Besides, you like it when he's rough too.
Steve arrives a few minutes after, taking your attention away from the annoying god by your side. 
He brings his hands together and begins to explain the exercises you were about to practice, also, how every single training is depending on your specific powers and strength as an individual.
So you should have a partner that matches your level to fight with, and as there's no other match for magic…
“I guess you could say that's me.” Loki points at himself when you look for a partner.
“Look, I would fight you, of course,” you lift your hands up to him as you explain. “But frankly, I don't want to kill you.”
“Kill me?” He laughs. “You're so funny, little demoness.” He conjures his knives.
“Now be careful you two. We don't want to ruin our training with a real murder, we already have enough trouble at bay.” You quirk your eyebrow to Loki from Steve's words.
“See, you fool?” You make sure to make your hands a bit reddish with your powers now, warm enough to burn as you touch him, but not enough to be perceptible to others that you're using pyrokinesis. “No killing.”
Loki sees your little trick, he can feel your magic as you're close, and purposefully makes his hands colder too, he could only hope they didn't turn blue.
As you go for the first attack he hisses from the burn, he grabs your wrist and you feel the freezing touch on your skin.
“Oww!” You jump from the cold and feel the needle pricking sensation on your flesh. You gasp as you point accusing him. “Cheater! You're using ice powers! I didn't even know you had these.”
“You get caught unaware and assume I'm cheating now?” You take the moment of his distraction, and jump to fight him in another hurried way, like a wild beast.
He catches you by your hips while you keep hitting his head with your fists giving very burning sensations. Nothing truly harmful, so it doesn't step the limits.
He complains and winces from the touch. “We should agree on no pyrokinesis, to keep the battle fair.”
“Am I hurting the little prince?” You manage to ask, smiling devilishly as he still holds you up, attempting to take you off of him. 
“You truly are an annoying little imp, aren't you?” You feel the softness behind those words, your attacks now getting less intense. The others don't stop their training, you keep your focus on Loki's moves.
He manages to push you off of him with a blast of his green seidr, you fall on one of the comfortable mats on the floor, proper for practical fighting. 
You giggle as your body hits the ground, you give a thumbs up to him as you cradle your lower stomach. “Good one, man, you got me.” 
Loki doesn't know why he feels this… guilt as he watches you, the same position, you, on the floor. Quite the same as earlier but now your words rang in his ears.
You don't know why he's standing there like a fish left in thought, but you take the moment to lift yourself with easy flexibility, giving a superhero stance as you run towards him again.
Your powers make him hit the wall, he grunts and gives you a smile.
“Didn't hurt. Is this the best your powers can do?”
“I told you, I could kill you if I use them too much, be careful.” You tease and feel the magic tingling your veins, it excites you whenever you can use it freely like this. You were almost jumping like a kid from excitement.
“As much as magic may be a fascinating sight,” Natasha says, and you turn to face her. “Please, don't break anything in the way.” 
Bruce was sitting on a little chair as he spoke up. “Yeah, preferably everything in place.”
Loki grabs your arm and twists your body with his to the ground, hovering you again, and licking his lips. You feel the shock to your core as you look up his eyes, he gulps as he looks down into yours.
“Don't turn your back to your enemy, you really do need the training lessons.” 
You smile. “Well, I don't have to practice. I don't need to.” You easily turn his body around, pinning him down this time. 
He hungrily gazes your figure up on him, straddling him, then he catches your eyes again.
“See? I can do anything I want, sometimes you tend to forget.” You wink and press yourself closer to his chest, almost reaching his mouth as you speak.
“This doesn't look like the usual training we have around here,” Tony mutters, peeking from the open door. “This is why I don't participate in these things.”
You lick your lips and move to guide Loki's body up with you, he relents and attaches his hand to yours as you two move to stand up.
Once it's done, you stare at the sight of your hands together, you twist it a little, like a creature facing something unusual, analyzing it. It's not something you usually do. 
Nobody really ever held your hand, even in a situation as casual as this was.
He untangles his hands from yours. You feel the wish you could grab it back.
“Let's keep training.”
Tumblr media
“Who do you train with?” You ask Thor, taking a breath from your training with Loki.
“With Loki, but you stole him from me,” he says, not very seriously, smiling at you and handing you a bottle of water. “My brother and I fight together all the time, it's almost tradition between us at this point. He's the only match for my Asgardian strength.”
It feels comforting to see the familiarity behind Thor's words, he's really nostalgic as he talks of his experiences of battle and training practices with his brother. 
“But it's great to see an equal match to him, one that shares magical abilities too,” he continues.
“It's rare those moments that you come to compliment me or my skill set,” Loki snickers at his brother. 
“I always speak the world of you,” Thor's words felt too honest, too impactful to a level you felt you were interrupting something personal about him, and his family.
You're in awe, his brother truly loves him.
But who are you to say anything to Loki? You know how he must feel. Left to always be the one in second place, his brother destined to have the throne.
Your eyes glance at the others still in action, your muscles ready to continue the fighting but you take the time to ponder your thoughts.
That's why Loki must be so restricted, so distrusting. He questions your every move, just because of your nature. 
You don't want to take Thor's side and tease Loki's moodiness, besides, it's not really your business, you don't know what they've been through.
“Do you want to train with him a little? We can keep going later,” You offer to Thor, and say the second part to Loki.
“Are you really selling me like that?” Loki asks jokingly with a smile.
“Yes. It's a very easy deal,” You say, the golden brother laughs and pats Loki's back.
“Let's do some battle moves, just like the old times,” Thor moves to grab his weapon, Loki doesn't seem excited, but he definitely seems used to it as he readies himself. “Then you will show the lady your fighting techniques.” 
You smile at the two, glad to be an audience.
“Just know I'll be rooting for you!” You loudly tell Loki, he stops short on his steps, processing your words. Then, he quietly moves to prepare for the training with his brother.
Tumblr media
Some hours later, you find yourself walking towards Stark's common lab to pester him.
“There's a lot of new people coming around,” You say, shrugging your shoulders as you share with Tony. “This is ridiculous, why so many? Why do you even need so many people around?”
“This tower doesn't stand by itself.”
“It actually does, that's how buildings are made.”
“No, no, stupid, I meant the work around here. S.H.I.E.L.D and the Stark Industries.” Tony brings up, checking some files. “You're just complaining because your brother is getting pampered by the media, it's a good thing, at least it covers your face from the news.”
“My face in the media should be a delight, humans should be grateful. AND, you should know better than to call me stupid,” you meekly threaten.
“You don't scare us.”
“Because I choose not to,” your voice is cold.
“Right,” he pretends not to care. “But what is the matter with that? Having many people around.”
You sigh loudly as you look out of the lab, unfortunately seeing that there's one of the female agents talking with Loki. A blonde, high-pitched voice woman.
“Like, who the fuck is she?” You point to the woman close to Loki.
“Oh, that's Clair. She's one of the best in the business.”
“I bet she is,” you angrily muster. “Such a pathetic human name.”
“She's also incredibly Christian, maybe that's just your demon side speaking,” you pout from Tony's words. 
“Cheer up, sis, no one's stealing your man from you.” Ediel shows up and you give him an angry stare.
The lab was usually chillier than the common areas of the Tower, you wondered why Tony felt the need to keep everything cold and so robotic-looking, but again, you're not the scientist here. 
“You shouldn't even be here,” you bring up. “All of your species are insufferable, always bringing up their noses where they weren't called.” 
“Jesus fucking Christ,” Tony swears, passing his hand down his face in disbelief, and clear annoyance. “Could you shut the fuck up? Honestly, I'll pay for you to leave the house.”
You smile impishly, tilting your shoulders up and down in joy. Still smiling even as you look over where Loki is.
“Deal.”
“Wait, what?” Tony is confused.
“I want to go out!” You plead like a child. “But I can't go by myself…” 
“Poor Loki,” Ediel looks at the ceiling to avoid your face. “Not only is being held hostage here but has to deal with you and your possessiveness.”
A tilt of your wrist has his voice disappearing, surprising Stark with the sudden use of your magic like that. 
Ediel touches his throat and tries to figure out what's wrong with his vocal cords, because you've removed it with magic.
“Finally, some peace,” you sigh, then smile to leave their presence, moving towards the loud lady bugging Loki with her presence.
“Loki!” You call loudly, interrupting with a shake of your hand eagerly through the air. “Loki! Loki!”
He almost rolls his eyes, but holds back a smile. 
“Pardon,” he whispers to Clair. As you reach over, he puts his hand close to your stomach to stop you in your steps. He says your name. “Don't do–”
“Who are you?” You ask the woman whom you already know the name of, the sparkle in your eyes holding fake politeness. 
“Don't do anything irrational,” Loki's low tone orders, his timbre almost vibrating through your brain like a purr of a kitten, but he seems a bit too serious when he says these words. “Please, I know you.”
You gape at him and put a hand over your chest. Looking at the girl who's sheepishly looking back at you, shy now. 
She introduces herself calmly, you nod to recognize it but still pay more attention to Loki's insinuation.
“I'm not going to do anything, such a lack of trust! You need some therapy, man,” again, he sighs off, from the term, squishing his eyes shut now. “Therapy, some talking would do you good, for sure.” 
He passes his hand over his face in annoyance, you close your arms around him. He just puts his hand on your arm to steady you. 
“I'm a god, I don't need these things, a Midgardian giving me tips on how to live my life,” you're surprised he doesn't push you away, just keeps his hand over your arm, so you can look up from his chest.
He looks down at you to see you talk.
“Do they have therapy in Asgard?” 
“We do, we're just too proud to face it sometimes.”
“So that's just a general experience then. Good to know,” you don't want to waste his good mood too much.
Clair's just shamefully trying to move away to leave you two alone, trying to sneak out. You could only chuckle, the sound muffling against Loki's chest.
“You drove her away,” he states, not sounding harsh or upset. His hand caresses your back now, he also pushes your hair behind your ears. 
“I tend to do it a lot.”
“They're scared of you.”
“I know that too,” you could hear his heartbeat. “Do you know we're allowed out?” He knits his eyebrows, surprised, maybe it's a lie.
“How?”
“I tricked Stark, I think,” he can't hold back his smile from your sentence. 
In Asgard, Thor was the one that was considered the role model, Loki always tried to be like him. 
He recognized from an early age that his methods and thinking were too different from his brother's, it upset him, even his sense of humor contained more wit and tricks, his tricks would always bring the fun to the scenes most of the time.
It was somewhat devilish from the Asgardians perspective, the tricks, Loki wasn't naturally aware of how socially devious his pranks were.
Thor was always the one being praised, the more he tried to copy that, the lonelier he felt when he didn't receive the same treatment. 
The tricks felt like an escape, something that's his, his magic did that too. The mischief suddenly didn't come only for battle tactics or parties, or to call for the attention of his parents.
It became part of him, it grew within him, he couldn't get it away. To a point, he became known to it. Everybody knew of his tricks and lies, they grew popular and infamous. 
There were a lot of problems that came with being popularly known as a trickster, obviously. But altogether, it felt quite lonely. 
Something he thought to be inherently linked with being a trickster, and the God of Lies: you get no one's trust, no one sticks with you, he should grow used to loneliness.
His mother was the only one who's always seen him in a different light, even if it's difficult for Loki to admit— and he isn't going to say this outloud; but he knows she loves him. She loves him, she motivated him to learn more magic, she's one of the only people who could find the fun in some of his harmless tricks. She often says she's proud of his intellect, respecting him for all his individuality. 
She's the only person he resented not seeing from this deal of having to stick to Midgard. She's the only one he truly misses when he thinks of home.
His mind often convinces him most of the time that all she did was out of guilt, for lying to him for his entire life. 
He doesn't know why he feels so sour, that's why he's refusing to think too much about home lately.
But you?
Your bright eyes locking with his, he could only hope you don't hear the quick pounding in his chest. 
You came into his life with all he's been criticized for in his life, sharing it with him and not feeling ashamed of it for even a second. And for the first time, he's found someone who truly seems to admire all the powers he has, who shares the same mischief as him. A demon.
He never knows what to do with this information, he doesn't know what to think, it's like a huge barrier prevents him from trusting you. 
Whenever he thinks too much about your trustworthiness, the reminders of his time under Thanos' grip hit him like the blade of a sharp knife. He could still feel the phantom pains from the bubbling heat burning his skin, from the chains holding him as he tries to remember how it feels like to be safe.
And he'd often try to forget how painful the lies they told hurt him, he tried to think of home, searching for a feeling of safety, but it'd only bring him further down his pain, it would stick inside and mix with something traumatic, and bitter.
It's difficult, he still doesn't feel free. The nightmares make that, you make him doubt your loyalty, what if he wakes up one day and he's still there? 
Out there, dehydrating and begging for peace in his mind, feeling his bones weaken under his usually so tough skin. It still gives him goosebumps, he swallows in anxiety.
His hand is still on your back, you're curiously looking up at him. 
“Too deep into his own thoughts for me to see it,” you think, you're not so sure you, actually, wish to read his mind.
“Earth to Loki?” You ask. He brings his gaze to you again.
“Unfortunately, I'm still on this godforsaken planet,” you laugh.
“I'm going to make sure we can go out.”
“As in, like, from the Tower? Forever?”
“I was thinking just for like, a park or something,” you pretend to think. “But yeah, we can discuss escaping later. I have my ways.”

Hi Kyra! this post will just be me commenting my favorite moments from this chapter ( it’s so funny bcs this IS my favorite chapter so far… to be fair, every chapter that you post becomes my new favorite chapter….) so don’t be surprised of how LONG this will be…
I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THE FIRST SCENE!!!! how could you think of not putting it in??? it’s SO GOOD!!!! i loved edward getting conflicted about telling his fantasies to the mc, only to say it anyway bcs she basically said: “pretty please with a cherry on top 🥺🥺🥺” and after it he even strokes her hair??!!?! what a man….
I want to congratulate you on the build up and immersion that you created when Jonathan was guiding us to the basement! Holy fuck! that was INSANE!!!! i was genuinely scared while reading it, like i knew that he wasn’t going to actually hurt us BUT STILL!!!! and him (angrily) taking his glasses off when talking about Bruce (like i have this gut feeling that he still holds a resentment to him for dancing with us) was TOP TIER!!! and jesus fucking christ i don’t even need to say the smut part of it all so fucking good… the small gestures of yearning that he did (that could -it is- be him manipulating us BUT WHO GIVES A FUCK?) the “have you missed this?” YEAH I DID!!! and i KNOW he did too!! you can’t fool me!!! everything about was just perfect… goes to show that Jonathan Crane is intoxicating…. that jerk…
Bruce Wayne is the people’s princess, he IS the ultimate damsel in distress, EVERYONE IS OUT TO GET THAT MAN!!! but seriously, the scene where the reader is deciding that she is going to betray Bruce and he just smiles at her and she realizes that SHE CAN’T HURT HIM!!!!! IT MELTED MY HEART ❤️ him being worried and still being there for her…. BRUCE NATION WE WON SO HARD WITH THE PECK IN THE ROOFTOP AND WE ARE GOING TO A PARTY WITH MISTER WAYNEEEEEE!!!!!! WHAAAAAT??!!! him asking was so funny and cute too!!!! i absolutely LOVE their dynamic!!!
Thank you so much kyra!!! thanks for sharing your amazing story! i know how personal they are! i don’t think you get thanked enough!!! i love your art, i love the passion you have for it… so yeah thanks!!!
ahh! thank you so much! I love getting these asks, I love hearing everyone's thoughts and analysis of what I've written it really makes my work feel appreciated!
I was very nervous that the first smut scene would feel unnecessary or OOC but decided that it didn't matter! I also don't really think there's going to be anymore Edward smut (in this fic, at least) so I wanted to treat you all to some more since a lot more people liked their dynamic than I thought would when I was planning the fic! He's sweet now but he is also... volatile.
Thank you! I was so excited to write the basement scene with Jonathan and I'm glad you all are enjoying it! Jonathan definitely doesn't like Bruce, the extent of which will be revealed slowly. I also loved writing the contrast between Jonathan's downright tender moments and the gross filthy stuff. Both of which are, indeed, ways he's trying to regain his control over the reader.
Bruce and the reader's relationship is FINALLY moving somewhere lmao. I know y'all have been SOOO patient. It is so funny to me, though, that the reader is like to Batman "please please protect Bruce!! he's a lil baby, he can't protect himself!" because girl.... that IS BRUCE. he'll be fine. It also adds another layer to their conversation that is, to me, delicious. I really enjoy dramatic irony, can you tell?

Kawi is a perfect Cartoon Character filmed in BL
We were talking about comedy acting of gmm actors in our discord, and I understandably went on a rant about Krist's comedic performance in Be My Favorite (because his dramatic acting is good but he chose such a unique delicious comedy to give to Kawi, and I've been obsessed with it since the very first episode so let me bring it here too xD)
Tumblr media
I was so surprised and intrigued when I saw Kawi in BMF, because in the beginning of the series Kawi looks funny. Unhinged. Unserious. AND IT DOES NOT LOOK CRINGE! (fight me)
For me it's something that's so easy to fuck up, and Thai comedies just love being silly-cringe on purpose (I'm sorry, I have to admit, I get second hand embarrassment often when watching unserious scenes in BLs). But Kawi. He's just. So excitingly funny for the viewers. Krist created his behavior with such a careful nuance, he gave us the first impression of Kawi so nicely, that a non-social immature main character who easily could get 'EW noo' reaction from viewers, is just a very adorable weird fool you can't help but keep watching to see in what kind of trash situations he'll end up.
I think here's a huge reason why: Kawi looks and feels like a cartoon character. I don't even know how Krist did it, I worked as 2d/3d animator and artist for some time in the past and I deliberately tried to make myself act like a cartoon character to film references for animation, so let me tell you – it's HARD xD
Disclaimer: i'm not big professional, just a freelancer so my terms might not be official, i'm just describing what i've learnt from professionals, these are basic things
I think Krist said it himself somewhere in bts that it was his deliberate choice and hard work but Kawi is absolutely animated in a very cartoonish way, but he also calms down and matures throughout the whole series, his movements become more gentle, fluid and less loud.  It's such a difficult way to smoothly change the character and it's a hard work for the actor, if you consider that episodes and scenes aren't usually filmed chronologically.
The first episode of BMF is like the epitome of Kawi As Cartoon Character (remember Kawi stealing Pisaeng's clothes scene, the dancing, fighting the gangster, everything) and it works really great to establish that comedic introduction and fool us all into thinking this is just a silly comedic BL show and not a very complicated, profound and mature series as it turned out to be :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I dissect for myself why this happens, what Krist makes:
Loud hyperactive movements (wide animated gestures, compared to all other characters behaving like adults in real world; think of Stage Persona and theatrics)
Action lines and curves (compare Pisaeng and Kawi on screenshots, think how Pisaeng would hold his hand out and look how Kawi is posing. Krist said they rehearsed poses in that scene a lot, and I really believe it. He stretches out arms a bit too far away, he bends more than usual person, he cranes his neck, he makes just perfect action lines throughout his whole body. When you want to make a cartoon character out of someone's photo, you exaggerate and smooth out posture so the motion would be felt, and Krist just does it in real life)
Tumblr media
Fast movements ending up in an abrupt VERY ART-LIKE POSE, and quick change of sharp poses (it's a base rule for good artists to make characters have a clear pose, so you would be able to guess what's going on from only the silhouette). It's probably not a natural way to stand in front of the camera, but Krist often turns his body just enough to have very recognizable silhouettes (enhanced by directing from P'Waa probably)
He exaggerates emotions like a comic character as well; wide eyes, mouth, furrowed eyebrows or extreme pout; even his voice is loud, he shouts and yells louder than anyone else in the series. Of course, only when he's comfortable (with Pisaeng, with Magic Uncle, sometimes with Max). When Kawi isn't comfortable, Krist makes him small, roll into himself, speak quieter and softer, while still having cute gestures like fidgeting.
Tumblr media
Cartoonish character compliments Kawi's childish behavior so well, it adds cuteness and stops viewers from rolling their eyes
KAWI LITERALLY IS ACCOMPANIED BY CARTOON SOUND EFFECTS IN THE SERIES, I mean - Pisaeng sometimes gets his sound effect of something breaking, u know like huh??, but if you listen, so many actions and gestures of Kawi are followed by various cartoon sounds. All the time. Even when he gets more mature and reaches zen, they are still present, just not as often.
And that dance? Might not be truly something cartoons would have, but it's so unhinged and quick and childishly weird, Kawi is almost literally operating at 24fps there, the flashing lighting helps a lot as well xD
Tumblr media
(overall, think about famous tiktok videos of a girl acting like a disney character irl but if i'm not wrong, there's also a technique of slowing and speeding up the video/audio, and Krist simply acts like that in front of the camera. fascinating)
Krist's work on Kawi's comedic behavior is just chef's kiss, even if you didn't know the plot, just by seeing Kawi in random scenes, you'd know it's a whole character arc just reflected through the body. Which is, I guess, what acting is about xD But it is SO RARE to see for me in BLs and Thai's lakorns, and maybe I just don't watch a lot of comedy series but I'm extremely impressed with how great that cartoonish Kawi looks, from an artist point of view.
I think the other character from BLs close to this feeling would be Sky from Love in the Air. If you know others, please let me know!

I have been staring at this page for like... twenty minutes, trying to figure out where to start. I know it's my own journal, but still. Today was just. It's been...
Okay.
I'm gonna back up.
I have been trying, very hard, to not step on TIsh's toes. I couldn't just come out and ask if she or Reth have feelings for Jel, and I mean... I also don't want to ruin the friendships I'm building either by presuming too much.
I told Kenyatta about the letter Zeki sent me, and she said he was just trying to make a quick coin, but also that Grimalkin have a really up there sense of smell, so he could probably... smell my interest, even if he didn't know who it was aimed at.
That's really really weird to think about. I'm not gonna think about it.
Anyways, she also said that if it was her, she'd just confess.
I pointed out that she and Nai'o only think their subtle, and she hit me with a sheaf of papers. I'm glad we're friends.
I asked Dad about it too. Sort of. More like he saw I was moping around town a little while I tried to decide and gently dragged me up to the Remembrance Garden to pry it out of me. I don't remember having a dad, but if I did, I hope he was as nice as Ashura.
And Ashura said that I couldn't control what someone else felt about me, but also that if I didn't try, I'd never know, and settling, like Eshe and Kenli, was a far cry from being in love with your potential life partner.
Dad's definitely got some romantic in him though, cause he told me a little about how he courted Sabine, and it was adorable. I keep wondering...
Getting ahead of myself.
So I took the money from the house fun, and bought some chocolates from Zeki... and then proceeded to avoid town and do everything but give them to Jel.
In my defense, I panicked.
He uh... well, he tracked me down? I mean, not like I was really hiding. I was so tongue tied, I just... shoved the box at him, and the way his face lit up. Oh my gosh. Apparently he'd been doing the exact same thing and worrying about what sort of gesture he could make and it was just as simple as this silly box of chocolates...
I don't really know what comes next, but he kissed my cheek before he left, and now I visit the shop and his smile is just so much softer. Oh, I do not know what to do with myself when he smiles at me! I just... I feel all soft and squishy and giddy!
....I hope it doesn't bother Tish any. I really really hope it doesn't. Or Reth...
Ugh. Though, speaking of Jel does remind me of something Hekla asked me to do that was pretty funny.
I really want to know why she wanted a potato, some cloth, and buttons, but at the same time, I'mm a little afraid to ask. The Goldur are strange beings. I mean, I don't think she'd hurt me or anything, but the answer might make my brain hurt?
But it meant I had to go ask Jel if he had any spare buttons, since I... don't. (Maybe I should get a sewing kit? I almost ripped my leggings twice while chasing sernuk...) And he wanted to know if there was any specific types. When I shrugged at him, well, you'd think I'd called down some sort of storm.
When I told him the buttons were for Hekla, he stopped ranting about fabric types vs. button types, and then handed me a couple of blue plastic ones. I don't think he wants to know either. I did tell him I'd come sit through a lesson on buttons and fabrics later though. Honestly, it sounds interesting! I don't think I'll ever be a seamstress the way he's a tailor, but knowing basic repairs can't hurt, can it?
Tumblr media
He saw me holding the kamera, and when I explained what it was, he said we should take a picture together. This makes me look so short... but then again, could just be that he's tall?
Maybe both.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I did some more work on building furniture and arranging my house. I think I'm getting better at this! I made myself some shelving for my loose dishes, a couple cabinets for some spare things, moved the planter Jel gave me into my room, picked up some candles...
Oh, and the lute! I have to remember to ask Uncle B to teach me how to play sometime! I tried it myself earlier, but I must have calluses in all teh wrong spots, since now my fingers are kind of... um... bloody.
I may have tried a little too hard. Oops.

Steve high as hell cuz Robin poured some into Steve's chocolate milk when he wasn't looking, so Eddie comes to grab him from work an he walks in, Steve giggling and spacing out as he stares off towards Eddie, Eddie sighs " what'd you do this time Buckley " as he shake his head, " nothing you can't handle, he was being annoying " she laughs as she watches Steve, " so you drug him? Got it, anyways let's go princess " Eddie gestures for Steve to come, Steve gasps an blinks as he says " Pretty Princess, oooo D-Daddy " he boops Eddie's nose an giggles as he's obnoxiously loud, Eddie sighs as he grabs Steve's hand gently and takes him home but Steve's got other plans while their on there way, Steve giggles an snorts as he chants a string of " Daddy D-Daddy Daddy D-Daddy " he pokes Eddie as well, Eddie sighs as he tries to keep calm, he's trying not to laugh as he responds " Woah there Princess we get it, that's who I am, I'm pretty sure everyone knows that as well now, now your going to sleep, upstairs now " he chuckles while taking Steve upstairs to their room, Steve whines loudly as he complains an protests like a child, Eddie shakes his head " if you don't get in that bed an go to sleep, no snuggles or kisses the whole night " , Steve blinks as he looks like his whole world just shattered, he instantly gets dressed into one of Eddie's shirts, an a pink pair of panties, that Robin left when she made a joke to Eddie, he then gets into bed an under the covers, he closes his eyes but then opens one, an mumbles " snuggies?

Twelve!! Listen we are skipping an entire 3 scenes using the bracket method and I don't care, I wrote, I have written, I will write again. The chapter is also 90% Dialogue which will almost certainly be pared down in later versions, so it'll make up for it lol.
Project Info
Previous Chapter | Next Chapter
[Josie suggests bringing renfield to the graveyard and holding their own seance, to recreate the ritual that summoned it and see who's haunting them, since weird stuff has been happening in the graveyard lately and at josie's home and nobody can figure out why. Eventually, Kaz lets herself get talked into it. or moreso strongarmed into it when she complains to lucy who thinks it's a great idea.]. kaz finds it completely ridiculous and shows up anyway
Note: possibly change ren to Kaz's kitty, and josie was going to drop thigns off at kaz's apartment and let him out?]
#
[Scene opens with Kaz and Lucy chatting at the graveyard, josie arrives]
"Who are you talking to?"
[What do you mean?
there's nobody there?]
"What? of course there is. She's right here. Josie, this is Lucy." I gesture vaguely.
[ha ha very funny. can we just get to work? the sooner we do, the sooner you can get rid of me.]
"Are you kidding? She's right here. Lucy, say something."
"Good evening?" she tries.
"Kaz, stop it. There's nobody there."
[and anyway at this point kaz realizes lucy's a ghost,]
"Wait you...actually can't see her, can you?"
Josie shrugs, exasperated.
"Uh... Lucy, how old are you?"
"Forever twenty-one."
"No, I mean...what year were you born?"
[1880s or whatever]
"You're being funny, right? Josie, she's being funny, right?"
Josie rolled her eyes. "I don't know how many times I have to tell you, there's nobody there."
"I'm not in the habit of lying," Lucy said.
I don't believe it. I mean -- she can't be, right? She's goth, and she's adorable and spooky, but she's not... She can't be... "You're a ghost, aren't you?"
"I am rather spectral inclined, yes."
"What's going on?" Josie asks. Her frustration has given way to a shocked confusion. "Kaz, who are you talking to?"
"Lucy. She's, uh...Lucy, what's your last name?"
She gives me a smile, either pleased that I've finally put two and two together, or irritated that it took so long. I can't quite tell which. "Blue."
"Shut up."
"I'd rather not."
"You're not Lucille Blue," I say.
"You're talking to Lucille Blue?" Josie asks.
"I always preferred Lucy, if I'm honest."
[Transition]
I'm honestly a little surprised to see it. Josie has never trusted spirit boards, much less an actual Ouija board. She's definitely too steeped in pop-culture. In her mind, not only do ghosts exist, but so do demons or malevolent spirits or whatever.
Oh.
Uh.
Hm.
I glance at Lucy, then back to Josie. I may have to put more groveling on my to-do list.
Reluctantly, I join Josie on the ground, sitting opposite her with the candles and Ouija board between us. Renfield's breathing is unusually quiet as he watches us from his bed.
[Uh Mrs. Blue can you sit over there?] She points to the empty spot to her left.
"Is that meant to be me?" Lucy asks.
"I think she prefers Lucy," I say, glancing over my shoulder.
"Right. Sorry. Uh, Lucy, can you...sit over there?"
Lucy does as instructed. This time, I notice there's no noise when she walks, nor does she seem to disturb the grass at all. I watch her skirts swish over the ground, but there's nothing to suggest she'd ever been there at all.
"And Kaz, you sit..." Josie gestures to the spot on her right.
I can't help but make a face for being pulled into something like this. But Lucy is sitting there smiling at me as prettily as ever, with her dress so black it almost looks like shadows in the night, that I force myself to swallow. "I'm gonna have to do a lot of existential exploration after this, aren't I?"
"I'm not going to say anything," Josie says, while her tone says more than enough.
When the two of us are settled, Josie looks over to the Carrier again, considering the mass of shadows within. Renfield is a skinny cat underneath his fluff, and he's squished himself as far back as possible, looking like a ball of blackness with two gleaming eyes reflecting the dim light outside.
"He okay?"
She nods weakly, and reaches over to unlatch the door and take up the lead attached to his little harness. "Come on, baby boy. Come out." She takes him out carefully and places him in the cat bed, expecting him to curl up and go to sleep like he normally does when confronted with a flat surface. Instead, however, he stands stock still like he doesn't know how to handle four legs. He watches his front paws, and takes a single step forward, off the bed and onto the grass.
She watches him consider the next placement of his foot, then look up and regard us three. His gaze lingers on Lucy, and begins stumbling directly over to her.
"Can he see me?" she asks with delight. "Hello, darling!"
"Where's he going?" Josie asks. "Is he going to Lucy?"
"I think so," I say.
But there's something wrong in how he walks -- something worse than usual. He's getting tangled up in his paws, missing steps. My worry grows, wondering if he's got a neurological issue, up until he stands upright. Suddenly Renfield appears much more confident in himself. His steps are awkward but more confident, and he fixes his eyes on Lucy. There's a focus there that hadn't been present in years. A single-mindedness towards...something that none of us understand.
Lucy reaches her hand out, and I wonder if she would be able to pet him. But once he's just barely out of her reach, his focus wavers. Renfield regains his usual wall-eyed expression, and falls back onto all fours. He regards the grass for a minute, sniffing the cold air, and meeps.
"I'm coming," Josie coos, and scoops him up. This time, when she deposits him back into the cat bed, he curls up like nothing happened. She scratches behind his ears until his wheezy purring fills the air, and she looks up at me.
I don't have anything witty to say.  Josie was right -- that was weird. I'd never seen anything like that from any animal before outside of scary movies. If that had been happening for a month now... I swallow around a lump of guilt in my throat. I should have believed her earlier.
"Josie...?"
She doesn't look at me for a moment. "Let's just get this over with so I can put him to bed."
Lucy and I watch helplessly as she sets up the rest of the scene. She [does stuff to set up. Pulling candles and ash and stuff from her bag,] and finally a pendulum -- a small crystal on the end of a silver chain.
"That's quite the toolkit," Lucy observes
"She prides on herself on being prepared."
Josie sits, holding up the pendulum and considering it. She's the one running the show tonight, but I really hope we don't have to sit here watching a shiny rock wiggle back and forth for an hour before doing something more fun.
"If she asks a question, I can't promise I won't tap it."
"You're evil."
"What?" Josie looks up. She must have decided against the pendulum, because she puts it away while looking between me and where she thinks Lucy's sitting. "Are you guys talking about something"
"No."
Lucy places a delicate hand over her heart, the picture of innocence. "It's extremely tempting to sabotage attempts to contact the deceased."
"Lucy-- wait." I run a few calculations in my head. "You're... you're the deceased. Right?"
"My body is enjoying an eternal rest, but my mind still yearns to wander."
"Right. Cool. So doesn't that mean... -- Josie, she likes to interfere with people's seances and stuff. Doesn't that mean ... Lucy, doesn't that mean you're just giving them a successful ghost encounter? If you're -- you know ... that?"
Josie nods. "That sounds right to me."
[But i'm just having a bit of fun, I'm not actually giving them a ghost encounter]
"No...Lucy..." I frown. "Josie can you pick up the pendulum?"
Josie does, confused.
"Okay now...ask a question."
"Like what?"
I gesture vaguely. "You know. Anything. Something you'd ask a ghost."
"Okay...?" She holds her hand out and balances the pendulum. "This is yes..." she starts, letting it swing one way. "This is no," she says, letting it swing the other. "Does anyone... want to talk to me?" She grimaces, looking to me for some sort of hint of what else to do.
I nod, then point at Lucy. "Okay, go touch the pendulum."
She doesn't.
For a moment, nobody moves. Then Lucy shrugs. "Well, now I don't want to!"
"Luce!"
"What's going on?" Josie asks.
"She's got stage fright."
"It's not stage fright!" Lucy frowns. "I simply... don't care for performing just to prove a point. I'm not going to tap a crystal because it can channel energy between worlds.  That's not how it works."
"No, you're going to go touch a shiny rock because other people thinks it channels energy between worlds. Please."
"What's going on?"
"I will not!" she protests, indignant.
A breeze shifts around us, swinging the pendulum and sending a shiver down my and Josie's spines.
It's a fight not to argue when Josie says, "Maybe another time."
Lucy nods.
She puts the pendulum down, and shifts uncertainly. "So, Missus Blue -- Lucille."
"Lucy," she says.
"Lucy," I say, so Josie can hear.
"Lucy. Right. I don't know how much Kaz told you, but we're recreating the Ouija board session from the Haunted Archivists video as best we can. Hopefully that will attract the attention of whoever they spoke to that night, since they thought it was you."
"It wasn't me," she confirms.
"It wasn't her," I reiterate.
"Right."
It's about time we get started.

▪︎ IPKKND Ep 180 : Admiting and almost confessing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Someone is waiting for his girl hehe ! I love their soft moments so much!! Uuuugh and this episode is full of them !! 🥰
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He wants to know if she has put his bangles haha he's so cuuute !! 🙈 She knows he's staring at her for this reason, she won't let him see and get satisfied, she needs to confirm he's the one who gave them to her !
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at his smart handsome dude finding a way to oblige his (almost) girlfriend to show she's indeed wearing his gift !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Uuuuuugh so adorable, he's so happy she chose to wear them immediately after he gave them to her !!! Khushi adores his smile just like he adores hers !! MY BABIES ARE SOOO CUUUTE !!
The way she said "choodiyaan" was so adorbs!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
" -Please tell me … did you buy it? -What did I buy? -… bangles -… I … I don't know what you're talking about" It might seems like Arnav is trying to tease her but I really think he's very awkward and shy to admit it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Did you buy them them for me?"
He gets irritated by her not willing to give up on making him admit he bought those damn bangles haha ! But he also find it amusing. "Ugh my weirdo won't let me be" hahahaha !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"- Where did you buy it?" asks Nk to Khushi - Arnav-ji … doesn't know that !" The way she teases Arnav and the way he loves when she does is making my heart flutter so bad !!
Tumblr media
UUUUUUUGH this episode is the cutest one !! I keep screaming EVERYTIME !!!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Khushi pretends she hates his bangles as a way to get her revenge since he doesn't want to admit he bought them. Arnav couldn't wait 2 freaking seconds before following her in pool side hahaha he's so childish !! (thanks Anjali for that delighful countdown and thanks for creating the occasion for them to meet again !!)
Tumblr media
" -If you don't like these bangles at all then why didn't you throw them away? -So much love for someone else's bangles?!" [I love that line haha ! Khushi is so funny lmao!]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Arnav lets her use the excuse of the bet reward to admit that indeed he was the one who gave it to her !!! "Yes, I did buy these bangles for you!"
Khushi isn't suprised by him buying her bangles (she already fainted for that reason lol), she is shocked to see him admitting this gesture of affection. And he's very pleased by her reaction. 😏
Tumblr media Tumblr media
" -If you hate these bangles so much then remove them. -And if I like them ?! -Then why did you say first that … -Because I wanted you to confess that you bought them for me !
Since Arnav confessed, Khushi doesn't care to hide her reason for wearing the bangles he bought for her, she's so cute, she just wants to give back what he just did. Uuugh he told her about his feelings (through that gift), so she will of course run to tell him as she feels too (though insinuation tho loool) !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-I have confessed! -It's good that you did it! -Fine then, keep wearing it ! -Maybe you're not seeing it properly, but I'm already wearing them!"
Khushi is telling him through insinuations how gladly she'll accept his love if he confesses it, after saying that, she is stuned by what she herself said lol. And I think Arnav did understand the insinuation !
She wasn't talking only about the bangles, but about their love.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even when they say affectionate words to each other, they have to mask them by pretending to argue to deal with the embarrassment and the tension !! Haha sooo cuuuuute !! Why are they soo shy !! 🙈
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Why? Why did you buy these bangles for me" Khushi asked a second time and her tone is so sweet. "Arnav-ji, please tell me now, I can't take it any longer, let me love you." Arnav was definitely about to imply something but he stopped. But it's not a matter of not willing anymore.
It hasn't been about that for a little while now. It's about feeling ready. He's not yet fully ready.

Hihihihihii I first just wanna say, I love ur artstyle it’s actually so pretty, and so adorable, and super super yummy and delicious, and SECOND, I did a tiny bit of snooping on ur blog (just ur recent stuff), and I’m super curious:
1. What IS ur little world building thing that’s going on, I’m a bit confused 😭
And
2. Would u mind giving an introduction of ur main oc fellow? I love the design btw :333
ANYWAY, I hope u have a good day :D
Thank you very much for the kind words and gestures mate💐 (wish most people were interested like you but I have hope someday it will get attention) so to answer your questions I will spill them out in detail
(heads up: the world building is still in works so I don't blame you if you still get confused at the end of reading it but just to clarify it still in the works but his is what I got so far)
//Warning: Lots of reading (So bring a night light out)
For question 1:
In the world building, it contains things you might be curious with, the world building is considered to be fantasy, sci-fi, (horror but only for the important parts so not as much) coming of age, superhero, and yeah (that's all I can think of) Now. The world of mine is considered to contain, Marvel (supers from the mcu), God Of War, and the famous game itself Minecraft
Now originally, this was only all based off Minecraft itself because our original characters were from Minecraft named Renny and Tank (who you may have heard of on this blog) and in all cases, after the smithing templates were added to the game, I actually started watching marvel again and oh my I forgot how much I loved marvel, so a crazy idea of mine popped up and I decided to add Minecraft and mcu idea together to fit my world building, therefore leaving me to make new characters which are these ones you see today, the reason is because Minecraft's lore itself fit so well with the mcu in my opinion cause of how similar their fantasy and sci fi sides fit together, and also because the trims that were added looked cool and I wanted to think they give their host powers once it was added to the armour, so there (I'll explain that next time when you or someone else asks)
Then a few months later which was during the coming of the new years of 2024, I watched god of war, and I never actually liked it at first but then when I did I loved it so much like the mcu (I watch the 2018 and 2022(?) Ones not the 2000s I'm not an og) and so I decided to add all both mcu, Minecraft, and gow to fit together in the world building cause it actually fits because of the characters we have.
In the story these characters you see today are in our year the present day, and because you think they are in the mcu you think they are on the main universe earth-616 but they are actually on a world of my own called earth-937, the reason gow is in here is because the characters that I will mention are gods as well 1 god who is good and 2 others who are bad (basically villains) and so I thought it would be a good combination because I also have a god realm in the story before this so I guess it makes sense, and mcu is part of this cause I think I already just explained if not just remind me and I'll explain it if I didn't
And finally to question 2:
The main character throughout all of this is a character named Francis (last name being Besong) who is the main person you will see a lot (and again main character) he is known to be: funny (and when I mean funny I mean not by jokes but by the way how he acts when he wants to make someone laugh) fun, responsible, respectful, trust worthy, loyal, (dumbass that can't solve math), and all the good guys traits yk, he's an ambi or omni vert. Francis in the group is known to be the main leader cause he was the first one in the group to become a super, only after a good 5 days his friends found out and became supers themselves with him cause for the past 5 days he was bad at doing his super deeds
Francis is also depressed like any other good superhero cause really who hasn't made their characters depressed its character development lol but francis overtime eventually becomes the strongest super in the group (only to find out something deep about him he didn't know himself, if your still curious just ask and I'll explain what it is)
So...those are your answers, again the world building is basically a wip and still being worked on but I don't plan changing it anytime soon, if you want to know the deeper lore of Francis then I can explain more about him and if you want you can ask about the other characters themselves feel free to don't be shy in fact I've been waiting and hoping people ask about my ocs and world building and such more and know more deeper about it. So looking forward to the asks please send some (please I'm begging) and thank you feel free to ask more idc if you ask as the same person again or anonymous because I am pleased and happy to answer them all and get you guys interested in them. Again thank you very much💐💫💫🤗

Been a looong while but I'm back with a new episode commentary. 1x09 here we go!
The instant recall to finale of spn s 1 is just as delicious and jarring this time around. Find it very very interesting that it's the vampires that mimic the Winchesters here and do so in order to learn their fate and fulfil it. I'd definitely call this a dark mirror to begin with.
I also adore these vamps, they're sooo fun looking.
John and Mary really came out of that near death experience losing no time in getting together.
The appreciation of Dean being paralleled to the appreciation of Baby is just... sooo funny considering the sheer amount of connections there.
Soo Kyle is instantly suspish here. Not even hiding it, damn. You can tell the shift in personality just based off his demeanor. I also think the little hand gesture he does as he walk away is interesting, it's almost like he's saying "im washing my hands off this bullshit". It subble enough that you could think it's jealousy.
The little hints at Lata and John friendship! My beloved!. Also Lata is suuuch a gossip I love her!
I once more am asking John Winchester to stop trying to be subtle, it aint his strong suit. But alternatively, I sorta get it? Like I can understand why it would be confusing if u don't get where Mary is coming from, since she has no problem letting strangers (and exs) on the street see them together, but not their close friends? But I also completely get Mary as well, she's actually lived as a hunter her whole life which means bagage already, then the fact that their relationship is new and fragile. Plus both her parents and his haven't had the easiest time with relationships. Cautious makes sense.
Ah yes, "fate is what u make it". Dean hearing it from John who heard it from Millie. All of them have their very personal reasons for that saying to apply, but also... Dean saying he didn't expect where things got when he "pushed that first domino" reminds me of Cas and him talking after the 1st Apocalypse that wasn't and about how free will sometimes means things aren't really gonna go the way you like them.to or expect them to (peace or freedom?). It's sorta funny then (read:ironic) that in both John's life (SPN!John) and Dean and Cas after Swan Song the outcome was actually quite tragic over all, John's life literally going out in flames with the rest of it being a living nightmare and in Dean and Cas' case Sam is dead and Heaven is starting a Civil War. This episode then does something really nice in subverting that expectation by setting up the tragedy (John is to die, can't change that) and allowing him to survive and not just that but ending it with him getting exactly what he'd wanted here in the beginning of the episode, getting to freely be with Mary.
I adore how Carlos calms down the driver, showing once again the full range of their skill as hunter and empathy as person. Love them so so much!
Couldn't get a hold of John, says Mary, being more suspicious then if she and John had shown up together... I find that hilarious!
Also also, love that this clarified that fangs are still teeth aka u can identify people (vampires here) based on them. I love love love that!
Uuuù Betty is suspish about Mary.
God! Dean had to have loved the vampire robbers. Vobbers? Rompires? Vambbers?
Oh noooo John! Don't be ur children! Don't just pick up random amulets like a moron! (At least we know who they got it from?)
Carlos is almost just as bad, my God! You see ur friend drop it like it hot and you just bend to.pick it urself?! Ah, Carlos, the range you got babe.
John dying by vamps begins my headache of the night because it is 1000% a callback to Dean's death in 15x20. And I wish that wasnt the case.
Ok let's talk Ursitoare (Uhr- see-too-ah-reh) a sec. So this is Romanian myth. To give an overview of it, the myth largely relates to the Ursitoare (or Fates you could say) blessing or cursing a new born after they've been born. Usually the legend states that the mother or midwife would have to leave out gifts (generally food like bread or water or salt etc) to basically appease them and make sure the baby gets a good destiny foretold. It's also states that those who eavesdrop on them as they tell the childs destiny shall die. They are also said to be quick to anger if spurned. Another interesting think tho about the myth is that (while there can sometimes be 7 or 9) the 3 ursitoare are generally known as Ursitoarea, Soarta si Moartea (aka the One who Wishes your fortune, Fate and Death) again the Greak Fates work very well and there's def overlap between the myths here. But importantly, Ursitoarea is the oldest and Death the Youngest (or othewise simply stated as the 3rd).
Now based on this we have a few things to keep in mind, mainly our vampires. They esentially eavesdrop on John's fate here and get exactly what the legend states - killed. In other news, the Ursitoare are very much neutral beings generally. They can be plied with offerings sure, but overall they just spin the thread as it goes. Its only ever an active role when wishing the newborns destiny. Now John's our newborn here, new to hunting at least, reborn once already after the war and a second time after confrunting everything he has since hunting became his life. More importantly, in some versions of the myth, the ursitoare give either the mother or the midwife dreams the night after the baby is born that need to be carefully interpreted afterwards - exactly what the Gem does here.
To wrap this part up a bit, I am.endlessly happy about the way they tackled this myth. SPN had sadly a bad bad record with Romanian mythology and lore - 1st with the witches in s7 which I'd argue was ... 'inspired' by rromani mythology rather than Romanian which is its own culture and as such its own racist connotation to that whole mess. And 2nd with the Imaginary Friends in s 11 aka Zanna .... which has absolutely nothing to do with Romanian mythology beyond slapping a horrendous mispronunciation of Zână onto a piece of lore that doesnt exist in Romanian mythos - we don't have any imaginary friend stuff, its literally all imported from the US. So this lore here? This is fucking aces! It actually makes sense, is actually a Romanian myth that is still being invoked nowadays - especially in the countryside as tradition of baptising/birth and it works very well in the context of the episode. Now, it would've been perfect if they didnt add that shh sound in Ursitoare making ir Urshitoare... Like its funny a bit cuz I constantly think of bears (urşi - ursh is plural for bear in Romanian) but its ok since its just that. I can live with a minor mispronunciation. I will say the Gem itself is fully made up tho for TW.
To answer Carlos tho, the Ursitoare themselves tell u 2 things: the future and also a future they are willing to bless or curse you with. It's essentially both. They show u the future, ur life as it's meant to be exactly, no deviation, but only in pieces or really a piece as a dream and, importantly the sorta end result of ur life which they wish upon u as newborn. How u get to that wish is up to you. The Gem.appears to have merged these two.
I also love love love the show of community that hunters have, that a hunters network is important to getting the job done. It makes me strangle SPN!John worse because he actively isolated himself aaand his kids. Ffs!
Awwwweee I like Betty! I mean shes a cop soo... not great but shes nice and cares so much and is worried :((
Millie does a good job here I think. She's not dismissive of Bettys concerns, but shes also careful to dispel them if possible. She shows once more how good she is at manipulating people, tho admitedly this time it isnt anything malicious or even generally negative.
I also gotta say that Betty (and id say John by extension) is very naive to think that war could in any way shape or form help with the issues John had had. Like he had trauma from his fathers abandonment and his mothers general treatment afterwards, had trauma from the disfunctional relationship the two had before Henry died/left, which all was underscored by deep-seated guilt that he let out as rage. Like all war would do is make it far far worse. It shows just how young Betty is truly and how she really hasn't lived through too much yet. And i said John too because Im fairly sure he also thought going to war would help in a similar manner.
I also headcanon that Betty was very inspired by Millie... but thats just me.
Carlos continues to be a dumb dumb about Anton... unsurprising, but omg.
I forgot the stone was carved from the Ursitoare's ribs... is it just me who though of the birth of Eve here??? Also yes, Il Soarta is def Italian I realize now. Do i question why an Italian cult was obsessed with Romanian myth.. absolutely not.
Im think that the 'most times not'part of what destiny the Gem shows u is due to essentially the stone acting as ... well... an eavesdropper. Literally. It was given to specific people to use by the Ursitoare as recompense for their worship - so good fate; but then as time went on it became a useful artifact for the benefit of Il Soarta so it became a way to eavesdrop on destiny so said destiny changed in them because that worship became.in name only. As mentioned, the Ursitoare arent patient and dont take well to being spurned or used in this case.
God the drip on the vamps, love them so much!
I would also argue that fate ultimately doesn't care about anyone if the whole universe is in jeopardy and uve a bigger destiny like John Winchester does.
I agree with Mary calling Millie here. Especially since she actually.knows what it's like to just ... lose someone like that. John does too, but he's also the one in the middle of it.
Ironic that Mary says "even if i have to kill every vampire in the tri-state area " ... a version of her actually does do that... for her kids. And simultaneously, its ironic also that another version of John will tell their kids that vampires are extinct (which could get them killed fyi).
Millie and Dean would be horrible together... all theyd do is work in the garage and shittalk research... and I kind love that for them.
I also like that Millie does in fact tell John bout Betty and also basically tells him.to not bullshit a bullshitter. This convo between Millie and John might be the 1st truly empathetic one we've had for them. Like yes, John's defenses go up instantly and he immediately assumes that Millie agrees with Betty and is judging him, but Millie, this time, doesnt do that. She just wants to check-in on how he's doing. And does so softly. And believes him more importantly.
And of course, back to the tried and true Winchester feelings avoidance after we've just had a helluva emotionally vulnerable talk.
I live for Carlos being disappointed in the vamps housing choices. I too would judge that. (So would Dean tbh)
Aaaaand Carlos once more gives us the biggest puzzle piece to where the vamps are.
While Lata is once more absolutely delighted by the magic lockpick like the wonderful nerd she is.
Millie to John "Dont do what u always do, not today" --> leads him directly to the room hes gonna die in. Irony at its finest.
A lot of irony in this episode, i realize now...
God I adore Carlos v vampires fight scene, its soo good. And its followed by the equally as fantastic Mary v vampires. Ahhh, I love them all so much.
Ppl really shouldn't fuck with Mary Campbell when shes pissed and worried.
I will miss the vamps tho... i really liked them :(
Ah yes, Winchester ingenuity at its finest... 🙈
I like what this ep says about how dead mans blood works? It implies that vampires literally drain the life force through the blood because the dead mans blood only came into effect once John did actually die - a few moments after he got bit thus implying a certain supernatural link between the blood just ingested and John's lifeforce. I vibe with that.
Ah yes... the full context - still drives me.mad. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ROBBIE?! Especially with all the parallels TW has to SPN.
I appreciate the CPR not stopping until only after they think he really did die for good. U DONT stop CRP for dramatic pause ( advice to othee shows/movies or in ro aviz amatorilor)
Antoooooonnnnnn!
Anton and Carlos!!! 💓💓💓 yay!
And they're using their words! They're communicating guys 😭 im so proud
Damn... Mary and John are being cute too 🥲
Dun dun dun!
Betty and Kyle and Kyle is Akrida! 😱
Sorry, i dont got anything revealing or deep to say about the ending here 🤣🤣🤣 its all plot and relationships.
Aand so we reach the end of another episode, 4 more to go!
I will say time and distance made this episode easier to watch for me. 15x20 had fucked me up before and made it very hard to watch without refering back to it. It has several parallels to Dean and dying specifically. The main one ofc being death adjacent to vampires. But it also has John killing himself for the sake of the hunt which sadly doesn't bode well either because it reminds me of a really bad couple of weeks back in 2017 when i had the realization that Dean has literally been shown as suicidal every single season (and i can name the ep, its so clear) and then Advanced Thanatology hit the Tv screens on nov 9th 2017... not a fun realization and def not a fun series of events afterwards. Sorry to bring this up here, but well... its relevant sadly.
Thankfully tho, this episode works well to deconstruct that and to subvert the spn finale by allowing John to live and to fully embrace his realtionship with Mary.
In other news, next ep will anger me a bit... for.multiple reason, some having already been discussed by people better equiped to talk about it then me. But rest assured, ive shit to say outside of that too, so see y'all for ep 10. Im aiming to have that up by the end of the week.
And thanks to @noybusiness and @shallowseeker for encouranging me to continue this.

SS2K22 (Part 2) - Cosquillas Navidad
~A/N  - HALLO IT'S ME AGAIN! I get the absolute pleasure to be @sweettallahassee 's squealing santa for 2022! (Yes I get to write 2!!! Lucky me ^^)
I am so happy to get to write something for the Moon Knight boys again I love this trio! I decided to go with the 'wakeup tickles after a rough night' cause I feel like that works really well with these three. I also went for Lee!Marc in this scenario to fit with the prompt the best ^^. I guess it's a liiiiiittle angsty at the start (only a MENTION of Marc's childhood from Steven and Jake) but becomes very fluffy very quickly.
I'm also testing out a way of writing Jake's Spanish to make the story still flow to spanish and non-spanish speakers (such as myself) alike. Let me know if y'all think it works or not, I'm intrigued!!
Once again, thank you @hypahticklish for conducting the entirety of Squealing Santa this year, you've done an amazing job and should be very proud!
Merry Christmas sweettallahassee, I hope you like it !!
EDIT: I CHANGED THE NAME CAUSE SDKJAFHLSDKLJHS I THOUGHT THE PLAY ON WORDS WAS FUNNY HEHEHEHEHE ~

"Well at least we know he fell asleep eventually..." Steven sighed, looking sympathetically at Marc.
"Si..." Jake nodded. "Aunque no hará que hoy sea más fácil." "Yes..." Jake nodded. "Though it won't make today any easier."
"I just can't imagine hating Christmas." Steven continued, his head hung low. "It must have been awful, with his- our Mum."
It had only taken a few Christmases for the boys to notice just how much Marc struggled with the holiday season. It wasn't necessarily surprising considering how his Mother had treated him after the accident, but they had no idea how to help.
Jake took a breath, and began moving towards the bed.
"What are you doing?" Steven began, eyebrows raised in both confusion and worry.
"Vamos, es hora de que lo despertemos." "Come on, it's time we woke him."
Jake slowly lowered himself next to Marc's head, starting to gently run his fingers through the sleeping man's hair.
"Es de mañana amigo." He whispered, his voice soft and soothing. "It's morning my friend." He whispered, his voice soft and soothing.
His response was a barely conscious whine as Marc turned away and pulled the covers higher. Jake sighed, letting his fingers fall down to the nape of his brother's neck and back up to the base of his hairline.
He would have given up , if not for the slight flinch from the body in front of him, and the almost silent sleepy giggle that followed.
Both Jake and Steven's eyes met, pupils aglow with inspiration and excitement. Jake continued the smooth trails of his fingers up and down Marc's neck, and Marc continues to let soft murmurs of a laugh leave his still-sleeping form.
"Awww!" Steven cooed quietly. "That's adorable!"
Jake grinned, gesturing with his free hand for Steven to join him.
Jumping at the chance to help make Marc's day a little brighter, Steven settled himself near Marc's waist. He brought a hand up to the man's stomach and let his fingers form a soft claw. The moment he began spidering his fingertips along Marc's tummy, Marc was already giggling out his last few moments of sleep.
"Whahahahat...?" Marc drowsily chuckled, not completely aware of the fact that the laughter was coming from him. "Guhuhuhuys!"
"¿Qué te pasa Marc?" Jake smirked from behind. "¿Cosquilloso?" "What's the matter Marc?" Jake smirked from behind. "Ticklish?"
"Quihihihit ihihit!"
Steven laughed. "Oh I don't think you quite want us to stop!"
And boy was Steven right. The beaming smile, the half-hearted (and half-asleep) bats of his hand, the deepening blush with every teasing word. Marc was loving every second of the attention, no matter how flustering it may be.
Knowing how much his friend was appreciating the moment, Steven decided to add his other hand to Marc's tummy. Along with a little more pressure and sporadic movements.
"Nononononono Steheheven!" Marc yelped, delving into full-on belly laughter now. "Stahahap ihihit!"
Sensing the change in tone of the playful attack, Jake began squeezing Marc's trap muscles - right at the base of his neck. Marc let out a squeal, arching his back momentarily before curling up into a ball.
With his access to Marc's tummy temporarily revoked, Steven opted for the deadlier option of his hips. They were a well-known screech spot, but Steven could tell Marc was in the mood for a continued tickle attack.
And who was he to decline?
Somehow finding the perfect balance of pressure and speed, Steven's nimble thumbs rubbed agonizingly endless circles on Marc's hip bones. Marc's waist bucked and shook, as the poor man shrieked within an inch of his life.
"STEHEHEHE- STAHAHA- PLEHEHEHE-!" Marc begged, unable to push a full word through his humiliatingly high pitched laughter.
"Aww, can Marc not take the tickly tickly tickles?" Steven teased, tapping his fingers against his victim's sides.
"NOHOHO- WAHAHAI- STEHEHEV-!"
As Steven continued to torture the poor American senseless, Jake took a moment to relax. His two friends, laughing themselves silly on Christmas morning. What more could a man want? He smiled softly at the sight, and whispered under his breath:
"Feliz navidad, mi hermano." "Merry Christmas, my brother."

You asked me about Patches recently, but how do YOU feel about him? I've noticed that his Bloodborne portrayal stands out not just because he becomes a monster, but it is the uhhh... idk, delivery? I did not even realize it was him until much later when I could recognize the voice actor ;-; Which version of Patches is your fav? (I personally don't think DS3 version could be bested, but ALL Patches are good)
Sorry it took so long, Kat! I had 1 hour of free time a day for a few days in a row :'^)
Patches caused me and my spouse a lot of conflicting emotions, because we started with DS3, and there he was, well… Not the best character xD I was genuinely amazed at how game developers could make THAT kind of asshole. My spouse killed him right away on the first playthrough xdd It was a shame not for the player character, but rather for Siegward of Catarina - a real sunshine! And then we found out that Patches really cares about Greirat, even though he hides it, and we started changing our opinion. As it turns out, they're friends, and Patches might even save him during the questline! Also, in the DLC, he shows up quite suddenly with memory loss, and gradually comes back to himself. It's so cute that by losing himself he becomes something of a knight, but the mean version of him is cuter still!
Then in Elden Ring we realized he's a king! xd No really, his character there is something awesome, he has his own, full questline and the way you get the "Extreme Repentance" gesture from him is divine! He gives hints, is simping for Tanith, and is overall a very cozy character that is something very nice to meet! And his gesture "Patches' Crouch" - oh my!!! xdd That's adorable!
In ds1 he shoves us off a cliff, but that was even cute! I accidentally killed him then because in my favorite location, I had giant skeletons running after me and I lost all bearings and got lost. He's very charismatic, actually, and his voice actor does double duty in making you love the character.
Well in BB his line "Oh Amygdalaaaaaaaa, have mercy on a poor bastard" is so SO HOT. So well said. I fell in love with it then. xd And the spider with the bald man's head is just a sample of what I want to see every day lol It's very interesting to imagine his place in BB's lore, but I can't do that. Not enough mana for that
And he's also Miyazaki's avatar in the game (I don't know where this info comes from, but it says so in the wiki and some articles! xd It must be just a theory, but it is sooo funny) So we have developed a local meme with my husband, like "everything is clear, the author is Patches" (все ясно, автор - Лоскутик. Так звучит лучше! хд) when any publication seems like a hoax, stupidity or something to us xdd
I haven't played DS2, but so many people are shipping him with Creighton? It looks hot and cool but I don't understand the background but shipping them sounds good xdd
He has something so cool in his character. Like he is completely fictional, but he is so "human-like"! Not because he is mean and lying, but because he has a balance of good and bad! He is easy to befriend actually, soft and nice, but also soooooo bitchy I can't xD He is that charismatic ass of a character, that is pathetic, but does nothing bad actually (almost???), but actually has a strong humanity... I can't describe! ;_; love him
Patches is a king (sorry for this sketch)
(Oh look! He caught another greedy bastard (no))

Time for propaganda!
Ok so. I love FE 8. Not for the plot (its good though). Not for the gameplay or any mechanics. I love it for these two.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Franz and Forde. Best siblings in FE history. You cannot change my mind. I have so many feelings about them.
Why do I love them so much you may ask? They are SO wholesome. Forde raised his younger brother after their parents both died when Franz was still very young. He was devastated because he loved his parents. He was still a child/ teen and had all of these new responsibilities. He probably didn't even know what to do. But he figured it out. For his brother. So that he will have a happy childhood. There is nothing more important to Forde than Franz.
And like they know each other better than anyone else. Everyone describes Forde as lazy and carefree. When he isnt. He is canonically a great fighter (even though this does not translate well in the game xD) but he is sleeping or painting on the battlefield. As you do. And no one gets why. It's stupid. It's dangerous. He has no reason to do so. Wrong. He isn't in danger when sleeping because he has a modified saddle so he won't fall off. And he is painting to study the terrain. Bro is smarter than anyone gives him credit for. And apparently Franz is the only one who knows this/ figured it out. Because Forde doesn't take any credit for it. He wants everyone to think he is useless, carefree and clumsy. To make them laugh and lighten up the mood during a war. He doesn't want others to be sad because he knows how horrible it is. And he has always been like that. When their dad was gone because of some missions or whatever and Franz was sad about it he tried to cheer him with his drawings.
What about Franz though you may wonder? He is SUCH a cute little bean. He wants to be a great knight like his brother and Seth. He is better than them gameplay wise. At least by far better than Forde and at least on par with Seth. He is helping everywhere he can. In every last support of his he just so *vague hand gestures* so adorable. Not a single mean cell in this boy's body. He literally recruited Amelia who was fighting for the enemy because he thought she somehow got caught in the battle and wanted to help her get to safety. (Kinda funny conversation btw) And then in their supports proceeds to teach her how to actually fight. They also have a paired ending togetehr. Puppy love at its finest.
ANYWAY I love Franz and Forde so much you can't even imagine. Faerghast made a half an hour long video about Forde btw. Like he such a well written (but sadly irrelevant and growth wise pretty much useless) character.
Here is the link in case youre interested: https://youtu.be/rairchPLY30
Ok enough propaganda. Have a nice day! 🙃
Hi there!!
This was such a delight to read. I can really tell how much you like these characters and it's lovely.
While I haven't played the game these two are from, reading about them has made me genuinely rather interested. It sucks that Forde may not be the best unit wise, which I imagine must limit chances to use him in battle, I'm glad his supports and the like seem to be quite good.
Will definitely have a look at Franz and Amelia's paired ending, it sounds incredibly cute. I'll also try and have a look at the video you linked, it sounds interesting and will allow me to learn more about Forde. They absolutely sound like incredible characters!!
I hope you have a lovely day too!! :3
