#so far it’s getting really good reviews

I'm Inlove with your ocs — How would the yandere react to a dense darling with no knowledge of gambling or any games who goes to the casino every now and then, who still manage to win without cheating? Like the others are pissed off by them and yet here they are asking what the rules are because they're forgetful -
IM BLUSHING SO MUCH RN IM SO GLAD U LIKE THEM ALSO THANKS FOR BEING SO NICE AND REBLOGGING MY STUFF AND FOR BEING MY FIRST MUTUAL!!!!!!
Ahem. Yes. The prompt. I only did Amias and Edge for this one, since Jackpot, DD, and Gambit aren't really in on the gambling side of things and it probably wouldn't change much.
Yandere!OCs x GN Reader
The casino has plenty of nice reviews. It's clean, and the drinks are good. As far as you're concerned, it's just like any other bar you've ever been to. When your friend dragged you along to play a game, you didn't think twice.
Um... but you've only ever played Go-Fish before...
Tumblr media
Amias
Upon first meeting you, Amias is really, REALLY frustrated. Somehow, he's losing money to you. It barely puts a dent in his funds, but wow. You ask what a Royal Flush is EVERY time, and every time you end up having one. There's no way it's Edge cheating, because even when he does, Amias ALWAYS wins.
You have the most insane, frustrating, INFURIATING beginners luck he has ever seen. It's driving him literally crazy. He's in his room tearing up playing cards and hanging up pictures of you and trying to figure out what you're trying to achieve. He wants to shake you so hard your brain falls out and you die. He's chewing his nails off and tearing his hair out.
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?
Sometime after all that. when he's gathering pictures of you, he realizes that... Well, there's absolutely no reason he needs those. Why would he need those? He should get rid of them.
But the second he reaches for one of them to tear off his wall, he has a full-on panic attack and ends up sobbing on the floor.
He almost hurt you! Granted, it was just a picture of you, but it's YOU! You, who he has spent months watching and taking care of and--
Shit. Damnit. God, fuck. He's in love with you.
Tumblr media
Edge
Edge has never, in his entire career, had to explain to someone what "all in" means THIS many times.
IT MEANS YOU PUT ALL OF YOUR CHIPS IN.
Ahem, but he calmly reexplains with a smile. He deals your cards, and...
You won. Again.
You look gleeful, and later when he's laying alone in his dark bedroom, he can't get that look of joy out of his head. Not that he'd ever admit that.
He decides he's going to teach you the terms and the rules and everything you need to know.
And so the private tutoring begins. It's frustrating, but he manages to teach you all the things you need to know... While simultaneously memorizing all your quirks and habits. He knows you like the back of his hand now, and he wants more. He wants to take that information and use it to absolutely shatter you.
It's like a game. Should be fun, no?
Tumblr media
BONUS!!!!
Double Down
DD could not care less how much you know about gambling. He's going to bite you. You will have rabies. And die.

Episode 7 (The Very Long Stairway)! I didn't put it in my last review, but I had a strong feeling we were going to get a flashback to the start of Edwin and Charles' relationship in this one. I had wondered if it would start with it, Good Omens style, so when it didn't happen immediately I thought maybe I was wrong. I was vindicated, however! And I love the use of the Night Nurse's already established powers as a framing device for it. I got so into what was happening, though, that I forgot that was how it started and was surprised when the camera panned to her watching everything.
So, oh my god, Edwin sat and talked with Charles as he died!!!! Edwin is so incredibly kind to him and it's heartbreaking that he knew this boy was going to die in front of him, and decided to make sure he had the most calming death possible. And Charles instantly decided to stay with him. I think it's very telling that he latches onto Edwin so quickly. Charles is someone who values kindness and helping people - he literally just died because he saved another boy from being bullied - so when he understands what Edwin did for him, he knows this is a person to hang onto.
I had wondered for a while if Charles had been the one to rescue Edwin from hell, given that they met 30 years ago, the same time he got out of hell. Turns out that no, Edwin had already just got out of hell by himself, but this was still a really satisfying flashback. Speaking of their relationship, we also finally got the love confession. I really didn't want Edwin to say anything, but it went about as well as it possibly could have. Still, gah, reeling from the secondhand embarrassment and the fact that this is not the time, Edwin! I was about to be so annoyed if the thing 'worse than a demon' had caught them because they spent so long dawdling on the staircase.
The scenes in hell themselves were really effective. Loved the page ripping punishment, very Sisyphean, and in fact the entire scene that followed with Simon was so touching I had to watch the whole thing again immediately. He was a stupid boy who didn't know what he was doing, and their reconciliation reminded me a bit of Pat forgiving the boy who shot him in Ghosts. Anyway, it seems that everyone has a crush on Edwin apart from the one boy he wants. Still, Edwin and Simon reconciling and Edwin telling him that 'if you punish yourself enough, everywhere becomes hell' but that being queer doesn't have to be a punishment, was incredibly moving. Again, Edwin has empathy for him and shows him kindness.
Relatedly, I also loved the scene with Despair. The moment she came on screen, even with her face obscured, I realised who she was. She barely features in Sandman, far less than Death anyway, but I recognised her instantly. Obviously I'm intrigued about the whole 'I'll call you if ever I need you' thing, but for the purposes of this episode I really love how that scene solidified the importance of Edwin having compassion. Edwin can be very bitchy (which I love him for), and he had every right to be mean to the boy who sent him to hell, but he chose kindness instead.
Conversely, Crystal got to choose violence and I love that for her. It was very satisfying seeing her literally get to bury David. It's fitting, as well, that David once overpowered her mind and now she's using her mind to overpower him. It is, of course, 'bad for the tree' if he stays there long, so I wonder if we'll see repercussions from that further down the line.
What else? Oh, the opening scene! The Cat King is such an interesting figure. He's creepy in the way he pursues Edwin, but it feels like they're on slightly more level ground now. He's a wild card character who's not exactly a villain, but will always act in his own interests. I'll be interested to see where his character goes from here, especially now it's been established that he's less powerful than Esther. His line about how strong and great Edwin is and who does Esther think she is trying to beat him, while obviously a problem in terms of giving her ideas, was also interesting in its own right. He clearly knows a fair bit about Edwin and genuinely thinks highly of him. Until this point we've only really seen him interacting with Edwin, where he taunts him the whole time, so this has made me all the more intrigued and invested in him.
Small things:
Edwin explaining to Charles that he doesn't fall through the floor because of the vague and weird ghost rules once again gave me strong Ghosts vibes.
I continue to love Mick, so really hoping he'll be okay after his confrontation with Esther.
Maxine in hell was interesting! I thought we'd learn more about her after her death, but it was a very fleeting appearance.
I thought Jenny might actually learn about ghosts and demons and psychics (oh my), but it seems not, alas.
Simon got a blue light after Edwin left, so does that mean Death came to him? Can people in hell get closure from unfinished business and move on? Or is it something Edwin specifically is good at doing for people?
Monty's still around and doing Esther's bidding! Someone turn him back into a human, please! Maybe Crystal?
I loved Niko getting to save the day (for now) through the power of reading comprehension!

Read ~60 chapters of Chainsaw Man today, WHEWWWWW-
#dee p thoughts#overall review so far: pretty good. author's style is very distinct and potentially offputting/unhinged so I 1000% get someone not liking#this for that reason. theres a lot of food for thought to chew on among it so I enjoy it tho. but I do think the plot in terms of arcs and#how they tie into character development/progression can be very...fast and sudden? couldve used more time to make the progressions more#gradual and natural feeling imo which is where I think the anime expanding on scenes enhances this. ex: aki's care for power and denji is#very sweet but it also feels a bit sudden in terms of...well how to word this? like it ultimately MAKES SENSE but the turning point makes i#feel like his care stems from them almost dying reminding him of himeno as opposed to. caring about them afdadljbkndlkj- yes its establishe#that aki views denji kind of as a little brother but they couldve had the trio cook a little longer imo like at that point I dont really#feel aki has had much connection to power either tbh but...I get it I get why lol-#THO I WILL GIVE THAT THE SUDDENNESS FEELING MAY STEM FROM ME READING ~60 CHAPTERS YEAH. just like? denji's relationship with makima has mor#gradual progression than the trio's imo which makes sense but we should strengthen the trio bond for extra impacttt-#thinking deeper I do think aki has individual moments with denji and power has individual moments with denji so its probably the lack of ak#interacting with power that makes me feel the trio isnt fully baked lol. kind of just shown annoyance and then happiness at her not throwin#vegetables and now you dont want her to die I guess thats what makes me feel something is missinggg#which makes sense at the end of the day I guess? whats important is their relationship with denji not each other? but eh still I guess we'l#jot this down as a personal preference of mine

ok. Ok. So I really like the Wednesday show, despite having quite a few criticisms for it
specifically really only two big ones that are
a. I think the anti-colonialism feels sanitized, especially compared to Addams Family Values. It wasn’t bad and there were a few lines that got my native dad laughing hysterically so clearly something is working, but I think mixing in the othereds with the message was a bad idea. Please don’t make fantasy creatures into an allegory for native people, especially when Wednesday is already indigenous like it wasn’t necessary! These two themes can be separate! Also I think the werewolf conversation therapy line was weird. Bad line, didn’t really ruin the episode or scene imo but did make me cringe.
b. I think some of the characterization and writing is very off, especially with Gomez and Morticia. Not as off as people are making it seem, for the most part it’s fine, but there Areee some scenes where I’m like. they would not fuckimg say that. (Ex. Morticia being upset over killing the stalker?? NOT MEANING TO KILL HIM???? Ur joking like she would’ve gutted that fucker ages ago and never been caught…) Just some stuff where I’m like well no but actually you see they would love to be convinced of murder. Wednesday for the most part is pretty accurate and is a treat to watch though :)
HOWVERR. aha. Um. The amount of people complaining about specifically Gomez is gross. I have seen multiple people unironically say “oh bring back the old Gomez this one looks like a construction worker” ….. oh yeah.? Yeah what about him. Specifically. Is it that he’s fat and stout (you know, like he was always supposed to be?) or is it maybe that he’s a darker skinned brown man. Is it both? Either way it’s a shitty bigoted thing to say. So many of the complaints about the show I’ve seen are baseless, or indicate that you haven’t watched the show and just read other people posting about it. it’s definitely got it’s flaws, I mean I just detailed them above, but damn it sorta just seems like you guys are flocking to hate anything that’s popular??

got around to reading nona the ninth and I think I finally have to concede that I'm just not picking up what these books are putting down. there's some cool concepts but it feels like the author is actively avoiding them most of the time. also finding the constant quips and references annoying, and not really sold on the central relationship of the series, which leaves very little for me to be happy about. I'll read alecto because I'd like to know what happens next, but I can't help but feel I'll also be relieved when it's over

Happy because favourite book series is getting TV series adaptation.
Terrified beyond repair because favourite book series is getting TV series adaptation.
#tv shows#tv adaptations#lockwood and co.#lockwood and co#i made my tumblr because of lockwood and co#i was desperate to find lockwood and co content anywhere and tumblr was the only place with even a marginal fanbase#even then it was really small but i got to share reading the last book with them#got to review and ramble and theorize a little beforehand#it was nice being in a small but dedicated fandom nice finally being able to see others talk about this relatively obscure series#and now it's getting a tv show and i love the books so much i just live in fear that they will ruin everything#and i feel rather gatekeep-y and book snobby in this tumblr tonight as i worry new fans who don't care about the books will crop up#and mess with that cozy little fandom feel#or will like it if it's horrible or i don't really know#i want the show to be good but no adaptation of anything has really been good has it#except the asoue tv show that did the books a lot of justice even in its changes#so here's hoping for an adaptation following its example#and not the example of countless movies that shall not be named#and not the example of the stupid alex r*der show i hate it i hate it it was so boring i hate it and people love it and i hate that more#the casting for lucy and lockwood looks decent so far so i'm cautiously optimistic while still being twisted with unease#like it's all about the vibe will they get the vibe will they get the humour will they get the horror#and will they stick with the novel's plotline and twists? fear fear fear#I hope it’s good

my father brought us all nice lunch but unfortunately I got to The Part in a book that I forgot had really rather sickening necromancy in it and now I am feeling much less joyed by my chicken katsu
#ramblings#the captain's library#still reading elemental masters - now I remember what else got me quite so scared reading unnatural issue the first time#this IS definitely one of the better books in the series for sheer Ominous Dread Of Incoming History though#there is the looming shadow of the first world war all through the first two thirds but there's other stuff to be worried about so it Creep#and then suddenly there's this delightful ratcheting Oh Shit Oh Fuck Oh Shit Oh Fuck Something Is About To Happen#and then it HAPPENS. and also simultaneously you get the most uncomfy bit of necromancy in All of the books in the series#it's a combination of the purposelessness and the carelessness and the - well I can only call it inhumanity#the people involved could have done the same work just as well had they been allowed to remain living humans but the necromancer simply#does not Care about the fact that they're People. and he kills them and leaves them to rot upright (still working!) just because he can#and he's not even living there for them to be working For him!#well yeah back on track I still think peter almsley would never marry a woman but otherwise the book is pretty good as these go#I really must get around to doing some kind of rating of my own opinions on all of the elemental masters books I've read so far#reserved for the cat was not so interesting that I bothered with a review and steadfast retreads the same ideas much better#and the progression of What The Author Thinks About Women's Role In Things from serpent's shadow to jolene is Quite interesting

episode review i am never going to recover from this
#meaghan talks#tlou hbo#tlou hbo spoilers#full review i still don't really care about kathleen like i get what they were trying to do and i think she's very sabinacore#but ultimately i didn't care all that much about her story or her brother because i just did not have enough time with her#on one hand i love her bc like. look at her. but also i don't actually care all that much#i joke about the silver fox but idc about him either#i don't even know his name#i liked seeing the ish stuff underground but i do kind of wish we had gotten expanded lore on that bc i thought his whole deal was cool#ONTO THE GOOD PARTS#ellie and sam. full stop i loved their interactions and bonding over the comics they had read#and playing soccer. and sam laughing and henry saying he hadn't heard that in a while. literally heartbreaking#the acting was incredible and there were so many moments where i had to face that in a lot of ways henry isn't all that old#in so many ways he's also just a kid forced to pick up a burden that was far too heavy for him and either sink or swim#and i think joel sees that in a lot of their interactions but he doesn't really know what to do with it#and god. ellie trying to cure sam. trying to stay awake with him through the night. but inevitably falling asleep.#that ellie and joel took precious time and energy and properly buried them.#and ellie wrote i'm sorry on sam's notepad. that's when the tears actually started and i just had to sit there like!!! cool!! awesome!!#AND WE GET TOMMY NEXT EPISODE!!!!!

#today has been a day. as in time did pass. the earth rotated. and i accomplished very little#bc im just feeling paralyzed and not so good. and i guess thats understandable#like i understand y its happening but its not any less frustrating. mostly its just knowing that i have to make life altering decisions in#the next few weeks. and the pressure of: if i dont decide to go for this one project then they dont get a student and they dont get funding#that makes me pretty nauseous. and knowing i have an interview Thursday that im not ready for and i dont really wanna do#and its a product of not talking to people like a human being. like i just dont interact with people much. when im in the lab i mostly#stand around looking unapproachable or go in when i kno there's no one there and i just dont have close friends so i dont really talk to or#text anyone. i just work and fail to get things done. so then when im in a situation where i have to talk to ppl its all anxious shrapnel#or me dominating the conversation bc i cant stand the pauses and i have so much obsessivly rotatinf in my head. and i hate it. im so sick#of hearinf my own voice but no one talk in the way i want them to. i get so bored. and i want to ask pressing and uncomfortable things but#i kno i shouldnt. but i also dont really have a filter so ill just say fucking whatever. which is what i did Saturday when a triggering#topic of conversation arose. so now my lab mate officially knows too much. but whatever wtf is he gonna do abt it. i just get so annoyed#bc now its in my head. thr fact it set me off and that i overshared and that now its in my head. annoying.#and it doesn't help with the writing things i need to finish. bc i dont like feeling like ive done something wrong and one of the reviewers#has good points. which also probably means ill have to redo my 8 days of measurements so far#but i also might b able to shorten the timeline so idk. just a lot is happening rn and i feel the pressure and by brain doesn't like#pressure. and not doing things rn is not good. things need to be done#so idk i dont feel good but it makes sense. by the end of February hopefully things will b figured out#and i should sleep and hope for a better tomorrow#unrelated
