y'all ever listen to One Blink for Yes and then melt into a puddle of tears over how accurately and gorgeously it encapsulates the billions of interweaving emotions and revelations and tones of the titular scene with Joyce making first contact with her son stuck somewhere she can't figure out I—
like... the tragedy of her missing son... the confirmation of him still existing... the relief, the RELIEF, THE PROOF THAT JOYCE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG, SHE WASN'T CRAZY... the curious unease of the supernatural staining the whole of the first season, and this moment in particular... the way the articulation makes the music sound like string lights blinking from some otherworldly influence... the overwhelming joy of receiving that one blink for yes, and her pride in her son for his intelligence and strength, making it far enough to tell her he's still alive... somewhere close but still so far away... in that moment where it kicks in you can TELL she doesn't care what this means for the future, she's just so happy to have FOUND HIM even in this small, mysterious, unexplainable way. the goddamn LOVE this woman has for her CHILD—
and you can feel ALL of that in the music... fuck i'm gonna cry again... i love media scores so much!

Honestly I don’t ever want to hear anything about Aemond being “bullied” or losing his eye. I don’t give a fuck. This psycho maniac massacred an entire house that were ALLIES of his— beheading every male Strong from old men to little boys and stacking their heads in a pile 3-feet tall— because he was having a temper tantrum after losing Kings Landing. Aemond had the most dangerous dragon alive and all he used it for during the Dance besides killing a child diplomatic envoy was to rain fire down on innocent civilians. Luke would have done the world a huge favor if he’d just plunged his knife into Aemond’s brain instead of taking his eye. I mean how much of POS do you have to be to make DAEMON the good guy in your 1v1 battle?
Nothing. I mean NOTHING. That has ever happened to Aemond in his pathetic worthless life even comes REMOTELY close to sort of maybe possibly justifying his literal war crimes. He’s the Westerosi equivalent of a fucking mass shooter. He cries about his stupid eye so much I cannot WAIT for Daemon to show him what a real fucking injury looks like as he plunges Dark Sister up to its hilt into his eye socket. The people who found his body were so real — they rescued Dark Sister and threw Aemond’s rotted corpse back to the bottom of the lake where it belongs.

everyone talks about how tiktok destroys people's attention spans with its short-form content, but i've never seen anyone talk about how constantly watching long-form video essays on youtube basically has the opposite effect.
like i'll play a 25-30 minute video and be shocked when the youtuber apologizes for how long it is. that's not a long video, that's a delightful morsel of content. a smackerel, if you will.

Love can be a lot of things. It can be fun & invigorating or it can be awful & devastating. It can also be wildly unpredictable. There's no shortage of up & downs, twists & turns, highs & lows; you name it.
Love is a fickle thing, because humans are fickle creatures. There's no love story that exists that's completely linear and you certainly won't find any of that here.
Love is messy and oftentimes all-consuming, so take a deep breath, let go of expectations, and dive into the chaos 💕
This event features four separate stories chronicling tales of passion between individuals who probably should steer clear of each other, but can't seem to help themselves, so they hurtle towards disaster together—all in the name of love. Or lust.
Fics are not subject to change, but dates are, so I'm not gonna promise any hard dates & these will just drop intermittently over the next few weeks couple months.
Masterlist & summaries are below the cut 💕
Why Are You Here? - rockstar!Touya x ex-girlfriend!reader
You and Touya have a history. One that isn't always pleasant to look back on, yet you can't seem to keep away from each other. You often find yourselves bumping into one another at the places you used to haunt together. Both of you know that it's never exactly accidental, so how long can you carry on this way?
Like a Sister - Bakugou x best friend's sister!reader
Bakugou has always had a massive crush on you, Kirishima's adopted younger sister. Little does he know, you've always known and you're tired of dropping subtle hints, so you decide to go for it one day and show him irrefutable proof that you're interested in him too.
Toxic Valentine - Hawks x villain!reader
Hawks has always been a hero first and a person second. His job comes before anything—even himself. So why can't he ever bring himself to catch you for good? He keeps letting you slip right through his fingers, just so that he can chase you again. Just so he can feel alive for once.
Love is a Game - established!Hawks x reader x Dabi (not poly)
You understand the lengths that your boyfriend has to go to in order to do his job, so you're well aware of his involvement with Dabi. You know that the two of them have been hooking up for some time now, all in the hopes of him gaining the criminal's trust. Now, Keigo knows it's a risky idea, but he can't help but to imagine what it might be like to share you with the infamous villain and you're willing to help him bring his fantasies to life. What could go wrong? It's just a one time thing, right?
