reader explaining they’re autistic and the yautja being like “OHHHH that’s why we understand each other much better than the other humans I’ve met” bc like cats, all yautja are autistic in their own way.
Note: So, full disclosure, I am not autistic. I promise I'm gonna do my best to be accurate and respectful, but keep that in mind!
Tbh when you first explain what exactly it means to you to be autistic, your yautja is sort of sitting there with a curious head tilt.
Because you're basically just describing a lot of yautja culture.
Need people to be direct with what they're saying? So do yautja.
Not great with human social cues? Neither are yautja.
Got some niche hyperfixations? Just walk up to any yautja and ask em to talk about their weapon of choice.
By the time you're done explaining how your thoughts and behaviors work, your yautja is quietly clicking his mandibles in excitement.
Cause it just... clicks. (No pun intended).
"This must be why I understand you much better than other oomans."
He doesn't bat an eye if you have to excuse yourself because you're feeling overstimulated.
Ditto whenever you start stimming around him.
He even gives you full permission to play with his braids whenever you want. Seriously, you should. It's very fun.
Also doesn't think much of it whenever you make blunt comments. In fact, he rather appreciates it.
More than okay with sitting and listening to you infodump. He likes learning about ooman culture/things, so it's a win/win for him.
He does his best to make everything around you and in his ship/home accessible for you.

Hi. I'm a rando on the internet. Nothing I say is real. Don't believe any of it. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Okay, so I'm somebody who, in the year of our lord 2023, got sucked into bjyx. I've gone all hyper-fixated on it, and I need somewhere to splurge out my thoughts so I can at least get them out of my head.
I was honestly really reluctant to buy into bjyx. Reeeeeally reluctant. But I eventually caved, and I'd like to explain why so I can organize my thoughts.
If you're reading this, hi. I hope you enjoy. I'll link to some videos if I have the link handy, but I feel hesitant about the propriety of linking to the bts videos. I started watching them on YouTube, and after having read more widely, I guess some of them aren't supposed to be on there? Anyway, I'm just gonna err on the side of not linking to bts videos. (I don't know if it matters bc I'm in the US, on a minor platform, and it's many years on from when they were filmed, but hey, better safe or whatever)
This isn't a primer or intro, so I won't take the time to explain terms. I'll also refer to widely-known bjyx candies without too much explanation. Again, this is mainly for me.
Most of this isn't new in the turtle world. I guess I have a few thoughts that I haven't seen anybody else (in English) say, but I don't think it's that insightful. But if you want to read yet another "How I learned to stop worrying and become a turtle" post, this is for you.
It's gonna be long, though, so it's in multiple parts that I'm still editing.
I really do plan to post this, then fade into the night to resume lurking because I don't have the time for long fandom engagement. So make of it what you will and then go off and do what makes you happy.
None of this is real anyway. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Ghostin' - p.m
Tumblr media
a/n: ok so i was having a shitty, moody day and wanted to try out 1986 maverick cos i reeeeeally wanted to write goose, he seems so fun to write with and i just love him. i might split this into two parts if people like it, just let me know :)
also pls don’t repost or translate any of my work.. i don’t give you permission to do that.
p.s i sort of obviously sped through the break up part cos ew and i just wanted to get to the good bit...
pairings: maverick x reader, platonic!goose x reader, brief iceman x reader
wc:  3,900 to 4,000
warnings: break up, argument, mention of cheating, alcohol, flirting with the iceman
summary: it's 1986, and you have a boyfriend of four months who you love, but you're really in love with the infamous maverick. this causes you to cry yourself to sleep for the past month, the guilt eating you alive. maybe you bump into a certain pair of pilots?...
read part 2 here!
if you couldn't tell this was heavily inspired by:
ghostin by ariana grande
The soft sniffles and cries that escaped your lips woke your partner up, his groans a sign of him stirring awake. You fisted the blankets that covered the two of you, desperately trying to wipe away any signs that you had been crying yet again during the night.
"Y/N/N?" He groggily asked, throwing a hand on his barely-awake face to rub the sleep out of his eyes. You sighed quietly, a feeling of embarrassment and guilt quickly enveloping your curled up body.
"Hm?" You hummed, hoping he'd assume you were half-asleep and just leave you be.
"Are you okay?" Dominic asked. He shuffled about in his current position but he didn't dare turn over to look at you, fearing that he would see what he had seen for the past month. You, crying your eyes out over a guy who didn't seem reciprocate your feelings. You never asked Pete whether he did feel the same way - but you doubted it, considering his playboy-like personality. 
It pained Dominic to know his girlfriend, who he loved deeply, was crying over another guy she had been - or was - in love with. However, it wasn't just any guy - it was her first love. And Dominic couldn't stand the thought of that. Despite his intense hate running deep for Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, his fervent love for his girlfriend overrode it and it gave him the motivation to power through this shit-show.
"Yes, why?" You quietly asked, trying to silence your whimpers as the pair of you lay back to back.
Dominic was silent for a moment, thinking. "I thought I heard you crying." He mumbled. You felt more tears prickle your eyes. The guilt was too much.
"No, I'm okay," You replied. "Go to sleep, Dom, I love you." It pained you to say those last three words. You felt hopeless. Embarrassed. Ashamed and sorry. You did love Dominic, but not as much as you loved Pete. It was gut-wrenching.
"Love you too." He muttered with a soft sigh, nuzzling his head into his pillow. Your glossy, tear-stained eyes gazed around the darkened room, landing on the window. Streams of the moonlight poured in through the lace curtains, casting a pretty doily-like shadows over the bottom half of the bed. You looked back up to your bedside table and landed on the digital alarm clock, showing twelve o'clock in big red blocks.
Squeezing my eyes shut, I tried to rid any thought of the aviator in my head, desperately wanting to sleep.
****
It was a week or so later and you and your boyfriend were sat at the dining table on an early Saturday morning, attempting to eat breakfast as the pair of you ignored the significantly tense atmosphere surrounding you. "You okay?" You asked, your Y/E/C eyes flicking down to Dominic's limp hand which was idly swirling his cereal around in a bowl. His eyes remained on the table, and you could tell he was deep in thought about something.
"Yeah," He mumbled, looking up at you. Dominic flashed you a quick smile before rushing to stand up from the table the two of you were both sharing, shoving his cereal on the side. Your brows swiftly knitted together at the unusual action and you stared at him. He stared back, his hands coming to land on the counter behind him and he leant against it with his backside. A heavy sigh escaped his lips. "I have to tell you something, Y/N." He said, sheepishly looking up at you.
Your heart dropped at his serious, low tone. "What.. what is it?" You asked quietly, eyes still trained on him.
"I-I've been.. err.. seeing someone else." He muttered and your heart shattered. You swallowed, blinking rapidly, trying to comprehend what your boyfriend of four months had just said. "It's Sarah." He said again, not meeting your eyes. You couldn't speak, you just stared at your plate of half-eaten toast in front of you, your hands sitting as still as a rock. Tears began to well up in your eyes again.
You inhaled a sharp breath before you spoke, trying to swallow the sobs that threatened to escape. "My.. my best friend.. Sarah? That Sarah?" You asked, voice breaking at the end. Dominic's head shot up and he had an embarrassed look upon his face.
"Look, we haven't had sex in a long time, and I- you know how I am, I need a release, my work is too-" Dominic tried to reason with you, stumbling over his words like a new-born deer. You couldn't believe what was coming out his traitorous mouth. As his eyes found you, struggling to hold back tears, his face hardened and his brows furrowed, his mouth frowning. "Why does it even fuckin' matter, Y/N?! You're still in love with that fuckin' hotshot, Pete! All those nights you cried over him!" He yelled this time, and your heart hurt at the mention of his name. Dom spat out his name like it was some piece of shit.
"You know what, I'm sorry, Dom. I was wrong to rush into a relationship with you. I thought I was over him." You mumbled, tears flowing freely down your face now. 'This was my fault, I shouldn't have just used Dom as a distraction to my true feelings.' You thought to yourself, staring motionless at the ground. You loved your boyfriend, but it wasn't the same, pure love as you still had for Pete. "I'll do you a favour." You stated quietly, rushing to stand up from your seat, throwing the plate of toast beside the sink. "I should have just dealt with the pain, I shouldn't have made you feel like this." Dominic sighed at your swift movement, his head dropping as he felt the guilt of yelling at you start to engulf his body. He shook his head at me as he moved towards you.
"Y/N/N, I'm sorry," He begged, swiftly moving to catch your arm, his fingers tightening around it. "Don't go, please." Dom said, his dry eyes catching your tear-filled ones.
"Let go of me, Dominic." You muttered, trying to hold back your forthcoming sobs. He didn't budge, so you ripped your arm from him, walking to the front door as you grabbed my keys from the hook on the wall. "You won't hear from me or see me again." You said, throwing him an emotionless look. He looked hurt at the lack of feelings you had towards his dirty deed, thus making him scoff, the pained look on his face twisting into a face of anger. To you, this was your way out.
"You know what, this is your fault." Dominic chuckled dryly, his head lolling back as he folded his arms. "You were the one that pushed me to do this, you were the one crying over someone who didn't love you back, you were the one that made me do this!" He yelled, beginning to point his finger at you angrily, his face turning red with fury. You gasped at his words, lips quivering as you felt a wave of fear wash over you. You'd never seen Dom like this before and it frightened you a lot.
"What the hell else do you want from me?!" You screamed back, your hands clutching your chest. Tears fell down your cheeks again and you couldn't control your sobs. "I know I treated you horribly." You cried, in disbelief at the fact that he really said those things. "I'm sorry..." You quietly sobbed, turning away from him. "Goodbye, Dominic." You muttered, opening and slamming the front door behind you and running to your car.
****
"Y/N/N?" You heard a familiar voice sound from behind your sulking self and you quickly turned around to find the culprit. Through your teary eyes, you could make out a strawberry blonde set of hair and a moustache. Only one person you knew could rock that. Nick. Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw. Of course you bump into him after months. "I haven't seen you in-" Nick quickly stopped himself, noticing your tear stained cheeks. "What's wrong, angel?" He asked, the nickname making your lips perk up at the corners, showing a smile. You shook your head at him, averting your gaze to the ground.
"Nothing." You choked out, looking back up at him. A kind smile broke out on your face as you stared at him, the memories of him, Pete and you flooding back into your mind. Nick frowned at you, placing a comforting hand round your shoulders. He squeezed you, making you laugh through your cries.
"You know you can tell me anything, sweetie." He smiled down at you and you nodded, trying to breathe properly.
"Well, Dom cheated on me," You sighed, feeling Nick's grip tighten on your shoulders. His smile fell. "I was so heart-broken over Pete, I lost any interest in anything else. I guess I tried to drown myself in that relationship to get over him." You admitted, feeling the guilt coming back to swallow you up.
"Don't tell me you're blaming yourself for this?" Nick's voice lowered as he came to sit in front of you, placing a supportive hand on your knee. You couldn't meet his gaze. "Sweetie, this is not your fault. He could have left before doing such a scumbag thing." He said sternly, a finger coming to push your chin up so he could look into your wet eyes. "Dominic is a scumbag. And for the record, I never liked him. Neither did-" Before Nick could finish his sentence, another familiar voice perked up.
"Who didn't ya like, Goose?" A warm and familiar voice cut through the soft moment between Nick and you, making your heart stop. "Y/N/N?!" Pete gasped, his eyes lighting up as he saw you. His arms wrapped around you and picked me up from the chair. You swallowed back your sobs as he squeezed you. It felt like home in his arms, and you couldn't believe he was right here. "I haven't seen you in so long." He grinned, but it soon fell from his face once he saw your tear-stained cheeks. "Oh, angel, what's wrong?" His hands flew to your flushed cheeks, the pads of his thumbs wiping away your tears. Your heart skipped a beat at the nickname and you had to strangle another sob from escaping.
"It's Dominic." Nick simply said, making Pete glance at him. His eyes hardened as his RIO said the name he hated with his whole being. He could kill the guy, Pete never believed he deserved you. He believed that you deserved someone who called you beautiful every time you walked past them, each time you woke up and went to sleep. The guy was a complete manipulative asshole. "He cheated on Y/N." Nick said again, his eyes carefully watching his best friend. Maverick's whole body froze as he felt the rush of adrenaline spike through his body, anger bubbling beneath his skin.
"He what?" Pete spat, and you shut your eyes, knowing what was coming.
"Pete, it was my fault. It's nothing, don't worry about it." You mumbled as he looked at you, his eyes softening as he watched tears bubble against your waterline again.
"Sweetheart, I don't think it's nothing if it's making you upset," He sighed, feeling his heart break at the sight of you crying. "Do you want me and Goose to go teach 'im a lesson?" Pete asked, letting his hands fall to your sulking shoulders. You shook my head at his question and he frowned.
"No, he knows who you are and he could have you dishonourably discharged from the Navy," You protested, placing a hand upon Pete's one which was sat on your shoulder. Your body betrayed you and shivered at his touch. "Please, don't do anything. He'll get what's coming to him." You sighed, blinking away the remaining tears in your eyes. Maverick so desperately wanted to go and beat the shit out of Dominic for doing such a horrible thing to you, but his better half stopped him from doing so. It wasn't a good idea and you were right.
"Alright," Pete sighed, closing his mouth momentarily. "As long as you're happy, angel." He smiled at you, making your heart flutter. Nick glanced at the two of you and a smile of his own slipped on his lips, taking a sip of his drink. The RIO knew there was something between you two, but he didn't want to intervene unless he really had to. Carole would want him to.
"Thanks, Pete." You chuckled, laying your head on the side of his hand.
****
"I feel so out of place," You laughed, as Nick, Pete and yourself walked into the ballroom in linked arms. You stood in the middle, wearing a knee-length, strappy navy dress. The neckline was a cowl, and the skirt was flowy and crimped, with a matching navy string to define my waistline. You paired it with some strappy metallic gold heels and a simple black purse. "Maybe I should've gone to a party shop and hired a Navy officer dress." Nick laughed beside you, throwing you an amused glance. Pete only smirked, keeping his eyes trained on the room.
"And what would you say to the other Navy officers when they approached you, angel?" Pete asked as we reached the bar, sitting down on a free barstool.
"Um, I would just repeat your stories." You shrugged, smiling. Pete's eyes narrowed at you and he smiled, shaking his head as if you had just said something so incredulous. Your cheeks burned at his smile.
"Sweetheart, everyone knows our stories," He sighed, leaning against the bar with his arm. Your knees went weak at the pet name, and you thanked your lucky stars that you were sat down when he called you that. "You know why?" You wrinkled your nose and shook your head trying to shake off the feelings - and also in reply - staring at the pilot. He chuckled and his lips perked up into a smirk. Another heart flutter. "Because we're the only ones crazy enough to be able to retell them." Pete laughed and Nick joined him, his eyes crinkling. You couldn't hide the big grin that spread across your face.
"Even the one where you crash and burn after singing that god-forsaken song to a poor woman?" You teased, laughing. Nick joined you this time, his eyes falling to his co-pilot. Pete's eyes rolled as he stared at you and a joyful smile spread across his cheeks. You felt your heart begin to race as you stared back at him, a blush flowering across your cheeks. "I wonder if that'll happen tonight." You joked quietly, turning around to face the bar and Pete scoffed at your words.
"Hey," He said, poking his head around your shoulder to meet your gaze. Your eyes darted to his in shock. "For the record, that scene has a seventy percent success rate!" Pete stated, cocking his brow and folding his arms.
"Eh, more like fifty." Nick replied, trying to hide the shit-eating grin beneath his moustache. You snorted, and waved over the bartender. A lady dressed in a smart white shirt, black vest and a black bow tie wandered over and she smiled at me.
"Whatever, it's still a good move." Pete sighed and shrugged his shoulders, his eyes sliding across the room we were all stood in. His little tantrum made you giggle to yourself and your chest felt warm as your mind was flooded with thoughts about him.
"Can I get two beers and a whiskey and coke on the rocks with lime, please?" You asked politely, holding out your credit card. You flicked your eyes down to her name card, reading Nina.
"Any certain beer?" Nina asked, glancing between the backs of Nick and Pete's head. You leaned in and laughed quietly.
"Any run of the mill will do." You winked and giggled, in which Nina did too. "Thank you, Nina." A kind smile graced your lips as you turned back around to face Nick and Pete, although you were met with nobody. Your eyes glanced around the room, looking for a brunette and strawberry blonde duo, soon finding them stood with a blonde woman. It felt like your heart sunk a little at the sight. "Ugh, typical." You sulked and rolled your eyes, turning back around to face Nina who sent you an apologetic look.
"Here you go, and I'm sorry about your friends. Men never change." She smiled, and you laughed softly at her words, nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, they sure bloody don't." You groaned, grabbing the two beer bottles and your glass of whiskey and coke. 'Time to sit by myself, I suppose.' You thought to yourself, holding in a loud sigh that threatened to escape your lips. "Thanks again, Nina. See you later hopefully." You threw on a fake grin and shrugged, wandering off to an empty table. The grin fell from your face as soon as you turned around. "Bloody men." You mumbled to yourself, the drinks thudding down on the table as you dropped them in a huff. You took a sip of your drink and ran a hand through your hair.
"Rough night?" A gruff voice said beside you, making you jump. You looked up to find another Navy officer dressed in his white service dress. He had blonde streaks in his hair, and a pair of black aviators rested on the bridge of his nose as he flashed you a stunning smile. "Sorry, didn't mean to make you jump." He said, offering you a kind smile.
"It's alright," You smiled back at him, almost sheepishly. You wonder if Pete and Nick knew him. "Pilot?" You asked, nodding at his smart attire. He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. The man looked to be handsome, even with his aviators hiding part of his face.
"Yep," The man smiled again, making your heart skip a beat. "You?" His fingers came up to his face, removing his sunglasses and revealing a stunning pair of green eyes. You almost lost your cool and let your mouth hang open.
"Oh, no," You shut your eyes, quickly shutting your mouth and shook your head, smiling a lopsided smile. "I just got dragged here by some friends. They thought I needed a night out." You said, looking up at the pilot.
"I'm Tom by the way, callsign Iceman." He held out his hand for you to shake and you accepted it graciously with a bright grin. "Who are your friends by the way? Maybe I know them?" Tom cocked a brow at you, his eyes quickly glancing at your dress, making your cheeks burn. He noticed and smiled again.
"I'm Y/N, and my friends are Pete and Nick- well, you probably know them as Maverick and Goose." You laughed, and shot Tom a bashful smile, looking away from him as you took another sip of your drink.
"Oh yeah," He chuckled, his eyes softening at you. "I know those two nutcases." He joked, his eyes crinkling at the sides as he laughed gently, his chest bouncing. "So, how does a beautiful woman such as you become friends with a couple of guys like Goose and Maverick?" Tom asked, taking a sip of his beer, looking into your eyes with a curious smile.
You couldn't hold back the coy smile on your face. "Oh, thank you," You blushed. "But I was neighbours with Goose back when we were younger. Him and Maverick a little older than me." Tom's face had a look of realisation on it as he looked at you, his lips picking up into another shining smile.
"No, that definitely explains it." He chuckled, placing a gentle hand on your forearm. A weird feeling settled in your chest, and you tried to ignore it, despite it being rather pleasant. Tom removed his hand, not wanting to make you too uncomfortable. Before Tom could ask another question, an arm was slung around your shoulders. Turning to the side, you checked who's arm it was in question.
"Ice," Pete greeted his shipmate, although it didn't sound friendly. Almost hostile in a way. You frowned to yourself, watching Tom and Pete share a glare between each other. "You look well." Pete followed up on his greeting. Nick stood awkwardly to the left of him. Pete turned to you briefly. "You okay, angel?" He asked and you swiftly nodded in response. What was his problem with Tom?
"I'm fine." You replied with a short sigh, a little miffed that he interrupted your pleasant conversation with Tom. Pete's brows knitted together at your answer and you shrugged his arm from your shoulders gently. "How did it go with that blonde woman?" You asked, feigning interest, deep down wishing the woman was you.
"Crashed and burned, didn't you buddy?" Nick finally piped up, shooting his best friend a cheeky smile. Pete only returned a weak smile, his chest bubbling with irritation at the fact that his rival, Iceman, was talking to you.
"Nothing new then, hey Maverick?" Tom joked, patting his shoulder and giving it a squeeze. He chuckled and looked at you, a smile slipping onto his lips. "It was an honour to meet you, Y/N. See you around, maybe." Tom smiled and began to walk off, but not before sending Pete a taunting smile.
A heavy sigh escaped your lips as you glanced between Pete and Nick. "What the hell was that all about?" You asked impatiently.
"Ice and Mav have this rivalry going on." Nick shrugged, eyeing the beer on the table. You rolled your eyes and nodded, saying he could take it. "Thanks." He mumbled awkwardly, watching you closely. Pete stayed silent.
"Did you have to ruin my conversation with Tom, Pete?" You clenched your jaw as you looked at him, trying to decipher what the hell was running through his head. "Just because you crash and burn doesn't mean you have to take me down with you, Pete." You stated, and Pete finally looked up at you.
"Ice is bad news, Y/N/N." He simply shrugged. You groaned at his brief reply. "He's not good for you." He said again, fuelling a raging fire inside you.
"Sorry? How do you know what's good and what's bad for me?" You seethed. Who did he think he was? "I don't interfere with your love life, so why should you interfere with mine?" Your eyes narrowed and you sighed in exasperation. "Just because you have some silly rivalry going on between you, doesn't give you the right to stop me from getting to know him." You said again, watching Pete just stare at the floor. Instantly, you regretted your tone. "Pete." You softly said, your heart wrenching at the sound of his name rolling off my tongue. He was someone you could never have, and the slight realisation killed you inside.
"You're right. I'm sorry." Pete mumbled, his jaw clenching. Nick looked at his best friend and sighed softly to himself, knowing the true reason why he had come over and interrupted. "I'm just gonna head home. Sorry for ruining your night, Y/N/N."
"No, Pete, don't go." You sighed, trying to grab his arm but he shrugged you off - just like you did with his arm. Your eyes remained on his smart, white outfit as he stormed out of the ballroom. You felt your heart sink knowing you might have hurt Pete. You were about to run after him but the sound of Nick's authoritative voice pulled you out of your insane daydream.
"Let him go, Y/N/N." Nick said gently, placing a hand on your forearm. You looked up at him, frowning as tears pooled in your eyes. "He'll be fine."
"Nick-"
"Trust me."

Okie-dokes: I'm very late to reporting on Dangerous Romance, episode 3, and listen -- listen. A lot of you know I'm in a compromised life state at the moment, --
(I'M MOVING. HOW. IN THE HELL. DO I OWN. SO MUCH. JUST. FUCKING SHIT. HOW DID I FIT SO MUCH SHIT INTO THIS PLACE THAT I AM LEAVING. OH MY GODDAMN WHAT THE FUCK. LET ME BECOME A MONK AND GIVE UP ALL THIS CRAP.)
-- yes, compromised life state, lol, and can't give too much thought to good meta at the moment. (I had to pause Not Me for the Old GMMTV Challenge because even just three episodes in, I knew it was SO GOOD that it deserves my undivided attention.)
So, yeah, brain is out of service at the moment, and then we have THIS episode of Dangerous Romance, and let me just note: y'all, Dangerous Romance was trending on Tumblr even through Only Friends Saturday last weekend (with Only Friends NOT trending, mind you). DR is clearly serving something (.....sigh, ships) that OF is not giving the fandom girlies, and man, did DR just lay it on THICK this week, huh?
I will admit. I'm a touch bummed. I LOVE PERTH AND CHIMON. I LOOOOOVVVVE THEM, YER HONORESSES! UNABASHEDLY. Yes, I love their faces. I DO, NO SHAME. I love their acting, too! I love them, like ::waves hands in circles:: all of it, all of them. I was hoping they'd chomp into a meatier show.
This is not that show. The puppy music, the reeeeeally fast swings into sympathy and "oh, you're my tutor now, bro, and I will spill all my feelings to you," IN ENGLISH AND KOREAN -- and just a touch of a class division conversation by way of Kang homey buying Sailom homey an extra dinner to-go. Sailom is now Kang's... confidante? Kang wants to make someone, anyone, proud, and it looks like Sailom is the guy.
I mean, this episode was all over the place, but....
Forgive me, meta angels, because this is EXACTLY what I need right now, omg. I'm mentally done, I'm toast! Not to say that I'm not going to enjoy Only Friends tomorrow! I am going to totally eat OF up.
But I will ROBUSTLY ADMIT to ALSO being okay with PerthChimon fan service at the moment. Unfortunately for any of my hopes of them being in a more dramatically complicated series: they still have hilarious chemistry. They're actual real bros in real life (Papang smh lol). They're clearly having fun doing this together, like OhmPerth in Double Savage. Chimon's facial expressions are outta control (that look on his face when Perth/Kang accelerated the bike? I cackled).
This is fluff! As @lurkingshan noted -- a recalibration of expectations is in order for this show. I'm taking this show right now as 100% fan service from my PerthChimon wub woobies. Perth and Chimon (and really, the co-director of this show, Lit Phadung of SOTUS and SOTUS S) -- these dudes know the score. Perth and Chimon have been around for a minute. You need two dudes to dial up to 10 on fluff BL? They have those tropes so memorized that it's burned in their bones. Put 'em in coach, they're ready to play.
If I take this show on THAT tip, then -- as an aiming-to-be-classic romance BL, then it's doing something.... if not right, then at least aligned to some tropes simply by mood. I'm curious about Sailom's flashbacks to Kang's bullying, but I don't have the strength or mindpower to read into it. If a reference back to the bullying comes -- or not -- then, whatever. This show is clearly, at the moment, trying to achieve a more simple goal than I expected of it, but I'm not gonna write it off. I'll thoroughly enjoy Perth and Chimon being poodles to each other -- gimme.
I was wondering to @lurkingshan and @neuroticbookworm earlier today that I had previously wondered WHY GMMTV would air Dangerous Romance during the Only Friends run, especially with ALL the marketing hype around Only Friends before it premiered. At the time, it seemed to me to be a pre-emptive gong strike on Dangerous Romance. Now it makes me wonder -- did GMMTV want to cover its bases by placing a classic fluff BL on air, to protect the network from losing fandom points through Only Friends? I can only wonder. If some ships are exploding through OF -- then the network can hand PerthChimon over and say, hey, we haven't forgotten our shipping roots, girlies.
Kinda makes me think. In any case -- Shan is right. I'm recalibrated on Dangerous Romance, I'm watching this literally to see PerthChimon ham it up, annnnnddd yeah, that's about it! At this point, give me the make-out sessions, give me pool time, gimme. I unabashedly stan and simp. If we get some real drama out of this show -- it will be a wonderful surprise. I just hope the show doesn't veer into totally unwatchable territory.

Twice’s 10th member has an allergy attack
A/N: So, I actually got an ask on Tumblr and this is how I got here :)
The request: Hi!! Could you do like 10th member being sick and clingy baby and not wanting to take her medicine? If you could write as Jihyo being the principal Caretaker I would love it! ❤️
Love you writings!!!
PS: Tysm for everyone that reads what I write, I hope I can bring a smile to your faces every time I post!  I hope whoever requested doesn't mind that I changed the request a little just so it wouldn't repeat something I already posted, but the vibe is the same as in being sick so yeah- xx
__________________________________________________________
When she woke up with a runny and stuffy nose, itchy eyes and a headache she knew what was coming. Y/N has been suffering from allergies since she was a kid and an allergy attack wasn't uncommon, actually, it's pretty much her daily life.  The point is, what triggered her allergy this time? Opening her eyes while scratching them, 'cause they're super itchy, she looked around and her answer was right on her face, she didn't clean her room for some time and it got dusty. This, is the cause of her death, jk. (Unless...) 
Y/N - Why didn't I clean my room before this happened? UGH *sneeze*
Jihyo - Baby? I heard you complaining about something so I came here asap to see what's wrong with you.
Y/N - Omma Jihyooo, I need love!
Jihyo - Don't play around Y/N L/N... What happened sweetheart? (the mood changes as she sees her state -miserable-) 
Y/N - I've allergic rhinitis so I've got an allergic attack because of my room :(
Jihyo - What's triggering you hon?
Y/N - Mostly the drapes, they're so dusty...
Jihyo - I'll take them off and put them on the washing machine, while I'm at it go take a hot bath so you do some misting with the steam. And no, you don't have an option, go. Now.
Y/N - Okay, okayyy, but are you gonna cuddle me after Mom?
Jihyo - Stop with that 
Y/N - Don't act as if you don't like it, mama
Jihyo - Fine, just 'cause you're my cute child 
Y/N entered the group when she was really young so this isn't an odd occurrence in the dorm. Being away from her parents she needed some support and as a leader, Jihyo promised she'd care for Y/N as her own (spoiler though not really: she did, reeeeeally well)
While Jihyo put the drapes on the washing machine, Y/N stayed sitting on the bed waiting for her to come back, even if most of the time her personality was like Tzuyu's she could beat Sana on clinginess while sick, you can only dream of counting how many times she cried over not going to a schedule for being under the weather and not having anyone to hug and hold onto. After sneezing 15 more times after Jihyo left (Yes, she counted. Being bored does that to people), her mom came back to the room and glared at her as soon as she saw that she remained lying down. 
Jihyo - What are you still doing here? *raises eyebrow*  
Y/N - You left me, obviously I'm waiting for you silly :)
Jihyo - Why? *sighs*
Y/N - I missed you! You're there for so long 
The second Y/N finishes the sentence Jihyo lets out a motherly smile and goes to hug her baby. Even after some long minutes, Y/N doesn't seem to want to let go but Jihyo has to give her a bath and get some medicine on her, even if she knows the struggle this is gonna be. Y/N hates taking medicine, she's so stubborn that Momo had to hold her down the last time she was sick so Mina could put the medicine in Y/N's mouth. 
Jihyo - Let me go a little cuddle bug
Y/N - Nooo, you're so comfy omma
Jihyo - We've to get to the bathroom so you can take a bath so this runny nose becomes a little bit better
Y/N - Can you carry me? I'm so tired from all the sneezes, they're making my headache worse
Jihyo - Fine, up we go
They get out of the SMC bedroom with Jihyo carrying Y/N like a baby with her legs around her waist and head resting on her shoulder. As they get to the bathroom, Jihyo tries to take Y/N off of her so she can get the bath ready, followed by a thousand whines and complaints about how she shouldn't do that and how she didn't love Y/N if she let go lol
Jihyo expected this from the maknae but it doesn't make it any easier, with some persuasion she managed to leave Y/N seating on the toilet and finally turned the tap on with some hot water so it could create some steam. Picking Y/N up and putting her in the bathtub was hard, she didn't wanna let go so Jihyo had to get in with her, some skin-to-skin never hurt anyone (Y/N is a sucker for it when she's feeling icky). With Jihyo behind and Y/N laying on her chest she washed her hair and cleaned just her back for comfort, Y/N assured her she could clean herself well so this was just to shower her with the care and love that she needed. She knew the absence of the members was affecting their maknae for going to Switzerland without them, the rest of the SMC finished school but she didn't so she had to stay behind to attend classes (which sucked, she complained sm JYP considered asking the head of the school for some leave so she could travel, but 3mix -the moms- didn't allow it to happen 'cause studies should come first even if she's an idol) and Jihyo stayed with her 'cause who are we kidding, it's her child we're talking about. 
Y/N - Unnie, my head is hurting a lot...
Jihyo - Your eyes are red too, stop scratching them! When you take your medicines everything will be okay love bug
Y/N - I don't wanna. And it tastes horrible!
Jihyo - Don't be like that, or I'm gonna need to call the manager for help.
Y/N - Noooo, omma! Why?
Jihyo - Nothing of that. Let's finish the bath and you're gonna take your medicines.
Just like a petty kid, Y/N turns around and crosses her arms while sulking. Jihyo gets out of the bathtub and grabs Y/N by the arms and sits her down on the toilet again so she can dry herself first and change clothes before doing the same for her spoiled youngest. After finishing she tries to get Y/N to walk by herself to bed while she gets the medicine and some soup with no success. After some scolding -out of love ofc- she carried Y/N bridal style to bed and quickly got the medicine.
Jihyo - It's meant to make you sleepy love, it's grape your favourite! 
Y/N - It's not my favourite! I hate medicine, I don't want it unnie :(
Jihyo - That's your problem cutie pie, take it now or I'm gonna have to force it down your throat 
Y/N - Dang- fineeeee
A little later, Y/N started feeling sleepy and made grabby hands to Jihyo who happily climbed on the bed and leaned down on the headboard so Y/N could lay between her legs with her ear to her chest. Listening to her unnies quiet and calm heartbeat made her feel safe and loved, and remembering how her sisters care for her always made her heart warm. With the peace she always gets in the presence of her members she fell asleep. 
Jihyo - You see? It wasn't that hard to drink it, was it? 
Jihyo - Y/N...?
Looking down, she noticed that the younger girl was sleeping with her mouth open snoring quietly. For her, Y/N looked adorable, her adorable maknae. After updating the members on the situation they all sent messages and did a video call with the baby before she slept, the girls could only think one thing:
We love our dear maknae. 
A/N: I apologise for any errors, English is not my first language. Pls, let me know if there's something wrong, ty for reading <3

WOOOOOOO IS THIS PART 3?!
(Motivation is killing me guys)
'Well, that sucked.' I thought to myself, looking around. I reeeeeally hoped Cody would survive, because if he didn't, I'm going to have a mental breakdown.
I looked down at my reflection, or , more accurately, Justin.
"Justin?" I tilted my head.
"Hm?" He said impatiently, "Don't ask me for sympathy. You all forgot me."
"Lookie here, buddy, as much as a hottie you are, I can't stand you, so maybe zip it."
"Because I'm ugly now?"
"Because I never liked you. Anti-me sorta thingy," I explained.
"Explain, Noah." He covered his face with his hands in the reflection.
"Beauty over brains," I said simply
"Makes sense." And he disappeared.
I spent my days just, swiming around. It was quite literally the only thing I could do. Water and Books are not a great mixture.
So passed the years.
Cody?
He was older now, he looked like a senior now.
"Noah?" He asked.
He saw me.
"Cody? Y- you're there?" I tried to leap out of the water, but, I was trapped there.
"You're.." his eyes started to swell with tears.
"In the water? I know. I can't get out. Really inconvenient." I sigh "But at least Justin's there,always in my fucking reflection."
"... Justin..?" He inquired.
"Yes, Justin." I said, exasperated. "He appears in reflections, water reflects, we talk."
"So uhhhh- Noah- I would like to apologise. I shouldn't've left you."
"You could've died! Are you kidding me?"
"...I perfer that over Duncan's bullying."
"Duncan.. he.." My fists balled up, my teeth gritting. "Why?"
"For 'being a crybaby'"
"Bet he was crying for his mama when Courtney died." I almost could feel the disappointment Cody had.
"...Sorry, Cody." I said, giggling.
"Noah, no."
"Why not?" I looked at him, "He killed me. Indirectly, but HE KILLED ME."
"Noah, you've become violent." He shook his head, like a disappointed father. "Where's the sweet guy under the cynicism?"
"He's gone. Dying would've done this to you too!"
"Noah."
"... Sorry," I huffed.
"So uh, Duncan's been broken since Courtney's death."
"Can't imagine mine. Totally wasn't there."
"Noah, could you please try and listen?!"
"No can do! He let me die! Why would-"
"I'm not asking you to forgive or forget, I just want you to understand that he's not the same!"
And with that, Cody turned around, and walked away.
"Noah, if I come back and you still are deadset on revenge, I will personally try and make you pass on."
-
Okay I got bored and decided to make them argue
Angst is fun okay
Remember !! All credits of this au go to @eavee-ry !!

My initial screaming thoughts on the Avatar the Last Air Bender live action remake on Netflix. Spoilers for eps 1-4 below, will watch 5-8 later today probably.
I want to hug this casting director and also ask them how they pulled the chacters straight out of the cartoon and made them real.
IROH IS SO GOOD OMG
Lol wow the dialogue is really leaving nothing up to the imagination. Exposition exposition exposition. Get why they are doing it this way but it gets reeeeeally clunky sometimes.
We must say the exact number of years that everything has happened and everyone's age
hope line in ep 1 is straight out of Ember Island Players
WOW THE BENDING
WOW THE FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY
The ostrich horses are chocobos and I am not taking any questions
😭 The airbender genocide is horrifying (as it should be)
Animals are a tad uncanny valley but I am okay with it
I appreciate that they kept so much of the original music even though it feels a little out of place for something live action
The tone is much more mature. The themes are different in a good way - they haven't changed much of what exists in the canon, just shifted focus. Adult side characters are getting more story. Stakes feel higher. Violence! Grittiness!
Firebenders are really fucking evil so they need to balance it with more morally gray/evil earthbenders and more upfront sympathy/development for Iroh and Zuko
This show could be enjoyable to someone who has never seen the cartoon before but it is definitely written for us, those who had our hearts broken by the movie
Sokka is not overtly sexist and honestly I'm okay with it. I like that arc for him in the animated tv show but with the tone of the live action, he couldn't just be funny sexist, he would have to be dark sexist and that just wouldn't be Sokka. Plus I like how they focus more on Sokka's sense of duty because it creates a good foil for Aang.
I was never really a big Sokka/Suki shipper but DAMN.
KYOSHI PLEASE STEP ON ME ALL I REALLY WANNA BE A GIANT WOMAN OMG THEY TOOK STUFF FROM THE BOOKS
I am getting more Zutara vibes rn than Katara/Aang idk
Okay they are condensing the plot but in really smart ways. We aren't losing much.
The set design. The costuming. SO PERFECT. Ohmashu looked great.
DANIEL PUDI AAAAHHHHHHHH
THE. CABBAGE. MERCHANT. 10/10 IT'S THE VOICEACTOR THEY CAST HIM IN THE LIVE ACTION
they mention secret tunnels. Are they gonna do it? Are they gonna keep it in?? YEEEESSSS FUCK YES OKAY THIS REMAKE IS AMAZING
I really like how they made the tunnels about sibling love tbh
Utkarsh Ambudkar disappears into the role of Bumi and it is SO GOOD
Me: *cries as Zuko comforts Iroh at Lu Ten's funeral* My husband: "Wait, listen to the music" Me: *listens* *lays down* *CRIES A LOT*
This show is very focused on showing what a 100 year war does to people and I think that was a good direction to take
Overall I am VERY happy with it. They understood the assignment, there is a ton of love for the show weaved into it, and I am excited to see more.

Do cuts still work? Tumblr is acting weird
Coming home we ran into one of the drunkest people I've ever seen (which, in Tokyo, is saying a lot). She was having a weird interaction with a man, and then she peeled off and ran into traffic, which was really scary. She just barely avoided getting hit and then ran down the other side of the road.
The guy didn't try to stop her or immediately follow her, and it was hard to tell from what we'd seen if he was a concerned stranger or if they were arguing—and if so, whether she was actually in distress or just angry the way extremely drunk people get.
She was headed in the same direction as us, and she kept whirling around to see if the guy was there. She could barely keep upright and I was concerned for her. Then the guy did start following her, slowly, and it just didn't look right, and she started to run. I sent my husband to the koban and so I could keep eyes on her and he could call and send the police to me if something happened.
I didn't want to run and scare her more, so I kept some distance, and she seemed to be headed for the big bright 7-11 ahead, which is kind of a beacon for drunk people, right? But then I couldn't find her there, and there was no bathroom inside or cover outside for her to hide, and the road split so I thought I'd lost her down one of the side streets.
But THEN she appeared again from behind, so I guess she'd doubled back, maybe hoping to lose him? Still half falling down, and running back and forth across the traffic two or three more times. I texted my husband a description of her outfit and where we were, and I approached her in a side street and tried to ask if she was okay, and she was like,,,,,, clearly not.
Usually when I've tried to help an absolutely obliterated-drunk person here, they get all stuck on "Whaaa are you speaking Japanese right now? How are even you doing that? Are you?? Speaking Japanese??? Now???" and we go round in circles. But she kept literally going around me in circles, like a one-oared canoe, staggering, tilting her head like when your dog hears your voice on the answering machine, and getting reeeeeally really close to peer into my eyes but then pulling away again. She couldn't speak, or wouldn't, but also her eyes wouldn't focus, and no matter what I asked her, she seemed to be at the stage of trying to figure out if I was real? Or if I was there? It was very unsettling.
I was trying to get her to sit down when the guy—her husband, not nice,—showed up and started "apologizing" about what a terrible drunk she was and for all the trouble she was causing. He smacked her once in the head—manzai style, not to really hurt, more a statement, but like!!!! really?—and I was kinda like "Hey, chotto, what are you doing" but also suddenly was very aware that I was alone in an alley with this guy and didn't want to antagonize him and cause things to escalate. And yes, Japan is safe, but that doesn't mean all Japanese people are safe, particularly Japanese men in Tokyo, a lot of whom are like a fingernail's breadth from snapping at any time.
I was like, "Well, the police are coming, maybe they can help you," and he goes, "Where's the guy you were with, what happened to him," and when I say he's on his way too, he starts trying to wrangle his wife into a taxi, but she really doesn't want to go and is trying to squirm out of his grasp and back into the road again. And like.... I've been the drunk person who is irrational and needs to be wrangled, and I've been the wrangler of the irrational drunk person but this just felt terrible. I couldn't help and I couldn't know what the right answer was and I was so worried that he was going to be even worse to her at home because of misdirected embarrassment/anger that I'd caused, and I felt so awful.
Then someone comes zooming up on a bike, yelling "奥さんでうすか ?" (Are you the wife (of the guy who said his wife would be waiting)?) and it was a pretty young lady police officer and her partner, and I was so relieved. I pointed out where the couple had staggered off to, and they thanked me and corralled them in a parking lot.
Then my husband appeared and we took a slightly different route home so the man wouldn't know where we lived (I could hear the man explaining the situation agitatedly and raising his voice as the police tried to calm him down), and yeah, it's still a bunch of mixed feelings. Like, I'm so RELIEVED to live in a country where I don't have to hesitate to ask the police for help—yeah, they can be shitty, but I can trust that they're not going to fucking shoot anyone. I was not in a position to judge or to help so I was glad to bring it to the attention of someone that the guy might actually feel obligated to listen to.
And I'm worried about what happened to her after they got home, but then if he's inclined to take his anger out on her anyway, who's to say that he wouldn't have done so anyway after the scene she'd already made? My family says at least there's probably a report in the system now and maybe it will get her some resources that will help her leave him, if that's what she wants, but I am not so optimistic and so I just kinda hope that the police sat her down and gave her some soup and sobered her up and made him walk around and cool off and he regrets everything. I don't know, I hope I don't see them again, I hope she is all right and that they forget my face. I can't remember if my mask was on my chin or what, but I'm unfortunately recognizable regardless :|
(The funny part is that my husband had a beer and one of the police kept asking him about it. Not because of the alcohol (this is Japan) but because it was in a coozy. He was like "What IS that device??? It keeps your drink cold and your hand warm? Did you get that in gaikoku? What a neato invention!" and my husband was like, "Well yeah, I did, but go help that lady! You can get these in Japan too!" The less funny part is that it's good that I did not have a beer or I might've mouthed off to the guy when he hit her or otherwise made things a lot worse :| Guess I will avoid my favorite Daiso for a while and hope the memory fades.)

Okay but Darby getting back up after the match and shouting at Joe, saying "Im still standing, motherfucker!" and clearly fucking devestated and egging Joe on for no reason other than pure rage and desperation to have Not Lost is so so important to me...
Like this is what's been missing from Darby's storylines recently. The whole crux of his character is that he NEEDS to win. He places his entire self worth on his success in the ring, every match is about proving to the world and himself that he means something. The desperation to win because it's All That Matters- THATS the part of his character that's so compelling, and having him removed fully from the title scene has robbed him of that for a while.
I'm really glad we got to see that side of him again. Reeeeeally hoping it sticks around...

hi! can you give me any peterick recs please? ive already read all of your works on ao3 (amazing btw) and soooo many other peterick fics and i need new things to read, even just tell me about stuff your reading now or read recently cos i need something
okay first off thank you so much for reading my fics, i'm so glad you like them!! and i sort of suck at recs because i never really bookmark anything or remember stuff lol, but heres what comes to mind rn!
currently i'm rereading Girl Out Boy, which is really good but also very serious in it's tone and goes deep into sexism in the scene and basically i only read it when I'm ready to deal with all that stuff lol not when i'm looking for something light and easy and fun. but it's amazing and 191K words in total as a series, so it'll def keep you busy for a bit!
lost in the falling dark is one that i read a long time ago and remember really liking so i've queued it up to reread soon. if it's not actually as good as i remember than sorry lol but i remember it as a good read. it's more ships than just peterick tho, so if you're looking for Just Peterick then thats not this
I've Got Nothing to Confess is one that i really really love. i personally am always looking for fics that go into bdsm dynamics and do it well or in an interesting way, and this is one of the main examples of that that i love! and it's got a part two that is also amazing
Trying to Keep You Mine has like AMAZING porn lol so def check it out if thats what you're looking for
also, i always recommend to check out the rest of an authors works when you read and enjoy one of them, so if you like these recs, check out the other ones by the authors!
some other authors I recommend: SnitchesAndTalkers does some of my favorite fucking writing of all timeeeee and has some slightly longer fics, Gala_Apples has written like fifty million fics lol so i usually recomend to go looking there because if you'll prob find some you like, putthedindirtbaby has some super hot pwp, Pyrchance is like one of my favorite authors on ao3 for anything i'm ever looking for tbh, glitterandrocketfuel is another go-to rec for me, so is laudanum_cafe, appleremix writes some reeeeeally hot fics and is generally a talented writer, littlesnowpea has good stuff, i haven't read a whole lot of dancealonetoheartbreak's work but what i have read i've enjoyed
okay now i'm gonna stop because i've spent too much time on this and i really need to pack my stuff to go home for the week lolll but i hope these recs keep you entertained!

are you still doing the ask game? if yes, i wanted to ask for sakura :p
also hiiii bby, how are you holding up? <3
I ammmm! And omg hiii <3. I’m surviving. I hope you’ve been good! I miss you!
1: sexuality headcanon
Okay, let’s be honest… Sakura is the queen of giving head due to her medical knowledge LMAO. Like she reeeeeally knows juuuust where to put her tongue, and where to slide her finger tips. She’s also a very emotionally intuitive partner, and picks up on every area that brings them the most pleasure and focuses her attention there. I’m SWEATING THINKING ABOUT IT.
2: otp
NARUSAKU! I will shout it from the rooftops! They should have been together. Periodddd. The chemistry, the pining, the friendship… yummy. Please give it to me.
3: brotp
It’s gotta be Ino Pig. Ino and Sakura are besties until the end. I literally still cry whenever I watch Ino’s team save Sakura during the Chunin Exams (and during their fight).
4: notp
ShikaSaku. Talk about a toxic relationship 😬
5: first headcanon that pops into my head
Sakura’s love language is gift giving but she’s, like… really bad at it. Like she puts in the effort. Really picks out something she thinks her partner would like, but half the time it’s just something they don’t like or need. And so they have to pretend to be surprised and happy LOL. Poor Sakura.
6: favorite line from this character
"I always believed those words you told me. I always hoped they were true. I wanted to be like you. You were my goal.”
7: one way in which I relate to this character
Her temper lmao. She is so hot-headed and I’m the same way.
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
The fact that she kept crushing on her same crush from MIDDLE SCHOOL. Like giiiiirl, move onnnn. He’s gone! Haha
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
Definitely a problematic fave! Stop pining after Sasuke and just be badass!

// hey hey thoughts on Jun's trailer?
I KNEW IT WAS GONNA COME OUT TODAY YES. Okay. Lemme just spill all the thoughts I have at initial watch. Maybe I'll rewatch it again later and notice new things. But this is what I noticed right now.
Tumblr media
Here eyes do look a little "baggier" underneath, which does make her older than when we first saw her in the TGA trailer.
She is first seen fighting Jin in the trailer. Which makes me wonder 2 things. One) if fans are right and she's gonna "knock some sense into him." Thooooough. I don't really see why that would happen? Given that Jin hadn't really been a "Bad Guy" who needs sense knocked into him since TK6. As even in TK7, it looks like he's going on the right path, anyway. (andwellyouknowimhupingjinscharacterizationfromtk6getsalittleretconnedcoughcough) Especially I don't really care for the idea that a character can go from being a Ruthless Warmonger who treated everyone with no compassion to a Good Guy who deeply cares about saving even a single life because he met his mommy...? Like that's such a weak excuse to why he'd "turn around" anyway as fans are now theorizing. (But as I've stated multiple times on this blog - Jin's transition to a Bad Guy never made much sense and was also just full of flimsy excuses. So his transition back to being a Good Guy also doesn't make much sense unless they come up with something good. And this just wouldn't be... Good enough. And I was hoping that you know, TK8 will give us a bit better character / story writing - esp for Jin - since other than characters that have been turned into complete jokes or pushed to the side, he's been getting it hardest.
ANYWAY - Unless this is like in TK4 where she has to knock sense into Jin to not kill Kazuya. But given that the very first trailer looks like the Final Battle, and Jin is still stuck in the "we should've never existed" mindset. That's probably not it, either. Most likely she's probably just training with him to prepare him for the Final Battle. Or you know, just a trailer and nothing more.
Although she's almost always moving. Her stance DOES look like her Tag 2 stance, and she looks like she plays like her Tag 2 counterpart. Whiiich makes me happy. Given I actually preferred how Jun played in Tag 2 versus how she and Asuka plays in the main games. However I do notice something else...
Tumblr media
She appears to bounce Jin with a spike of light here????? Which looks just like how UNKNOWN bounced the opponent with a gooey dark spike. So this makes me wonder if she's also gonna play like Unknown as well??? Which is very interesting. Given that Unknown is in a noncanon game. And that also means that the Kazamas may be even possess more power than we thought. Which could also explain why she needs to train Jin further and show him the power of Kazama style? As well as why she could've been possibly missing for so long? Maybe she's been honing such powers all this time? Either way, I'm very curious as to where this will lead.
Tumblr media
AAAND, this may also prove my theory wrong? That this is INDEED the real Jun. But I just - ughhh. Kazuya doesn't really seem to emote anything here? He's just his Typical Self. "So It's You" Self. Like I'm REEEEEALLY hoping TK8 will delve into their relationship further. Because so far, every time Kazuya has canonically spoken of Jun - as I said - it's vague and with little emotion. Which is odd. Given they have a child together. (But maybe it really WAS a one night stand LOL.)
Also everyone being like "CLEANSE THE WORLD OF EVIL AND CORRUPTION?! SHE'S GOING TOO EXTREME, THIS MIGHT NOT EVEN BE THE REAL JUN?!
Tumblr media
See? She still cares about Kaz lmao. It's as I said - she just wants to get rid of the devil gene. But as said... surely they're gonna delve into their relationship. Surely.

I know you're removing insane mode but I really hope you don't end up making normal mode too easy with that new blog post. I couldn't get into Reborn because the new update was so much easier compared to last time I played or at least have an options that player can choose an easy normal mode or the same difficult normal mode we've had
Sooo, there's a comment on the thread I posted that reads very similar to this, even misspelling "intense" mode as "insane". Of course, there's always the chance this is just another person (probably from rejuv-gen) who decided to waddle their way here and throw this at me. Regardless, I'm going to pretend this is the same person so that I can vent out my extreme frustration with people.
Very quickly, I want to ask, what is the point in sending this to me here, again? If you posted this in the thread already and you read my comments, then you know that I said I'm reading all responses! So! there can only be a few options, let's go through them together.
To be obnoxious.
You actually didn't read anything at all, or you disregarded what I said because you too are frustrated.
You reeeeeally wanted to make sure I read your opinion personally.
Okay! Which one is the correct answer here?
...
That's right! All the above.
I'm gonna make this crystal clear for everyone. I cannot, and will not bust my ass to make everyone happy with this game. I've tried and it doesn't work. It is simply out of my realm of possibility at this point. Not even the Pokemon Company themselves is capable of doing that.
---
Scenario 1:
Intense Mode exists: People yell at me because it's "unfair". Balance Team: *adjusts difficulty due to response* Result: Intense Mode players yell at me because I'm ruining their experience.
Scenario 2:
Sends out a Survey: People send in their comments about particular fights. Balance Team: *adjusts difficulty due to response* Result: More intense players yell at me because I'm responding to data.
Scenario 3: Specific Part of the game: People send me asks detailing why they don't think it's good or how it can be improved. Me: *Takes their criticism and apply it* Result: Omg Jan is redoing the game again lol! 🤪

That's sooo awesome. That's like, my favorite thing ever, actually. Wtf do you want from me?
I am one guy. A singular person. I am not here to fix Pokemon's innate mistakes.
It doesn't matter how this game's balance is modified. I will piss someone off somewhere and somehow. I've accepted that. All I can do is make the experience as healthy as possible, because as the head developer it's my job to do so. You guys have it easier. Eventually, through trials and tribulations you will win every battle you go through. But I am playing a game where I will always lose.
And lastly, while this isn't directed towards you specifically, I'm tired of people being bold enough to talk to me like they know me. We're not friends. I don't know you, you don't know me. I don't care if you think this isn't a pokemon game story wise, I don't care if you dont like where the story is going, I won't hurry up because you're impatient, and I don't care if you hate a certain character. Stop asking me about romance. Go complain somewhere else, I'm sick of it.
tl:dr - life sucks

How many ppl have shown interest in the zine? I reeeeeally hope it seems the light of day. Ya I'll buy the pdf cause I'm too impatient for the physical thing. Any, any updates will soothe my nerves :)
LOL okay i'll give you the full update then
the book will be probably be 400 pages give or take
so far over 250 people have filled the interest check form
most likely i will do a 90-100 print run for US/Canada only (I'm so sorry, it's not even a shipping thing it's a tax thing 😭)
i will have pdf versions available as well but if I catch y'all printing and redistributing that shit im gonna find you and eat your ligaments off
there will be 2 add on options to help with production costs
add on 1 will be a set of 3 polaroids of some drawings
add on 2 will be a shorter zine that's a side story for SOHAE
I'm looking at $20-25 per book
it will have a new cover design
you will hear more about officially ordering and stuff probably in october (i have... so much happening around this time, wish I could start it early but it's just not doable til mid-oct at least)
i give no 100% guarantee that this is gonna happen, disaster could strike, i could die, etc. however this IS the plan
