hi, sorry, love your au! its really. really good, and i admire the fact that you have drawn a whole comic, especially one so good, thats incredible!

don't know if this has been asked before or if you have answered this already, but how does the afterparty (I don't remember the name exactly, but the eliminated contestants plus the contestants that didn't get in) feel about this whole situation between cody, noah and sierra, are they being being stupid like duncan or mean and malicious like alejandro, are they on noahs and codys side or sierras? how do the rest of team e-scope feel about it (eva and izzy), are they ready to fight sierra for hurting noah and cody?

also, how do their families? specifically noahs, since codys mother and father are implied to be neglectful and likely wouldn't care to watch a show their son was on and I don't know if its the same in your au, sierras we don't know (I can't remember if we ever met her family members), and noah we know to have 8 sisters and a mom and since noahs like. the baby - I think their reactions are going to be very interesting if they are even established at all

sorry, that's a lot. thank you for making your comic. it's kind of fascinating seeing how things progress over time in this new narrative and how different things are from canon. you're doing a great job. - 🍓 anon

Oooooo this is a long one! Uuuhhh let's go one block of text at a time

Thank you so much!! I'm really glad you like my au!! It always wows me that this impulsive decision I made turned into something people really like and even anticipate. That's so cool

This ask actually made me pause and seriously think about the Peanut Gallery. So I made a bullet list of all the contestants in the Peanut Gallery and their (mostly) individual opinions on the situation. I'll let you decide if they're stupid or not

Katie and Sadie: Sympathize with Sierra. All she is is a girl in love, who's Noah to ruin that?! Like, soooo not cool!

DJ: Doesn't sympathize with Sierra, but doesn't agree with how noco kissed without setting her straight. Isn't really on anyone's side.

Leshawna: Does not like Sierra's persistence. Completely understands Noah and Cody doing what they do behind her back.

Harold: Compelled to agree with Leshawna. Also likes Cody, therefore feels bad he has to deal with Sierra. He's happy Noah makes him happy.

Beth: Thinks Noco's "forbidden love" situation is super sweet and sappy. She's on their side.

Justin: Cannot fathom why Cody would want to be with Noah when Sierra is so much prettier and treats him like a God. Also doesn't like Noah in general.

Trent: Is happy Cody's happy with Noah, but feels bad Sierra's heartbroken, regardless of what she's done. Mostly neutral.

Izzy: Noticed Noah had a crush during her time on the game, but only found out it was on Cody when she watched the London episode. She's proud he went after who he wanted. Got a pit in her stomach when Sierra attacked Noah in Greece.

Eva: Finds the whole situation incredibly stupid. Cannot understand how love makes Sierra so obsessed. Would maim her if she had the chance. Someone put them in the ring, actually.

Lindsay: Is not paying attention. Sees Tyler is friends with Noah (more on that later) so she likes Noah too!

Gwen: Made friends with Cody in the first half of the season and helped him out with his feelings for Noah where she could. Understands Sierra's insane and feels bad for Cody.

Owen: Feels awful about ever doubting Noah after watching Alejandro try to manipulate Cody by flirting with Noah. Plans to apologize to Noah as soon as he sees him again.

Now about their families (which I also had not thought too much about before this ask). They're on a scale to me. Cody's parents are on the "Not watching the show at all" extreme of the scale, Sierra's mom (cause I don't think she has a dad?) is on the "Obsessively watching the show" extreme of the scale, and Noah's family is somewhere in the middle, tuning in and out. Cody will come home, have his parents ask "How was the trip?", he'll answer an empty "fine" and they'll move on. Sierra's mom is loudly cheering her daughter on, cause she knows if she was there instead of her daughter, she'd be doing the same thing to Chris. She's proud of her for going after Cody and has an unhealthy hatred for Noah for getting in the way. For the first half of the season, Noah's family would watch the episodes as they aired if they could catch them. Most of them were there for London though. After that they started putting in more effort to catch the episodes. His parents are mostly worried for his well being, but his siblings are mostly cheering for him and Cody with every episode. They're gonna jump him (with affection) when he gets home.

You don't have to apologize Strawberry. (Can I call you Strawberry?) I'm always happy to receive asks about this au! And I'm glad you're having your fun with it. It's what I strive for. The fun

listen i love izzy. i dont even have to say this, all of you are fully aware of that fact. today i woke up and before i was even conscious enough to clearly remember what i was thinking abt in retrospect, i was thinking about izzy. i am ALWAYS thinking about izzy.

but some people give that man too much fucking credit, especially in s1. "he said he massages the crew so that means they must have respected him if he can influence them" what show were you watching where that was happening? genuinely?? blackbeard's crew cannot stand izzy. at best theyre kind of afraid of him, at worst they think hes a joke and only begrudgingly respect his authority because he has blackbeard backing him. we are literally SHOWN in episode two what izzy's "massaging the crew" looks like:

fang expresses frustration and confusion at blackbeard's choice to follow the revenge and izzy basically tells him to shut the fuck up and do his job without asking stupid questions.

and we all remember what happened when izzy lost edward's shadow looming large behind him and had to actually lead a crew on his own; they staged a mutiny in less than 24 hours.

izzy hands in season 1 is many things, but respected by his crew he is not. id argue we dont even have enough info to confidently judge whether he actually cares about them or not.

that's what makes his arc in season 2 all the more emotional! because after all the jabs at him, the mean nicknames and his unsuccesful attempts at bullying people back into line, he finally earned the crew's respect through his care for them. so much so that, where they'd previously attempted to kill him the second edward was finally out of the picture, they now went behind ed's back (at great risk to themselves) just to save izzy. that's what it's all about! that's why the new unicorn scene hits like a fucking freight train! that's why his death scene was such an insult, with the crew observing from the sidelines instead of doing anything in their power to help him!

izzy hands is such a great character. stop smoothing him down into this innocent victim who has never done anything wrong in his life and has always had everyone's best interest at heart. he starts out a mean, vindictive, jealous little cunt whose top priorities are 1) the man he's in love with and 2) being at the side of the man he's in love with. thats half of his charm! the other stuff comes later!!

#moogsin'#sorry ive seen one too many posts blorbo-izing him #stop that #let him be a mean little ass.#please #ofmd #our flag means death #izzy hands #idk whether to tag this as critical or not. and its not meta i think #idk its less about the show and more abt how fans treat izzy #as a character #yknow?#ofmd s2 #ofmd spoilers #the izcourse

the crew deciding they’ll force izzy to admit he enjoys their softness and quirks by collectively giving him the cold shoulder until he caves

instead izzy, who had been steadily getting used to them, is abruptly shunned by the entire crew with absolutely no idea what he did wrong. he tries for days to figure it out but even ed and stede are in on it and no one talks to him besides the bare minimum required to do their jobs and he can’t just ask them what he did because if he was good enough in the first place he would know and

this is for the best, actually. it’s for the best the crew stopped wasting their time trying to play nice with him to get out of work. the ship is running the smoothest it’s ever been and yeah it sucks that edward isn’t acknowledging him but he’s probably busy with bonnet and thats what izzy does all this work for, anyway. so ed can relax. it’s not the crew’s fault he got used to being treated like one of them. first mates aren’t meant to be liked, they’re meant to be listened to. everything is as it should be.

dramaturgy; celebrity manhunt, pre-london -- im going to make it easy on myself and skim through pre-london first, as the most divergence in this AU happens during and after the fact. part of pre-london is the pre-season itself, the celebrity manhunt special.

so action comes and goes, noah gets out of the season and remains as chris’ PA for the year break. in that time, months before it actually happens, chris finds out about the new season (with producer word both pushing for ‘more drama/engagement’ or smth along those lines, and *noahs actual involvement this time).

while something something contracts might prevent him from just outright telling noah, i’d imagine that he’d all but say there’s going to be a new season and heavily imply that noah wont be able to get out of it this time. not only that but he also implies that maybe noah should give opening up to people on the show a chance,, cause, yk, hes about to be stuck on a jet with them,, for weeks,,

of course, noah is pissed at first. but in so many weeks or whatever he begrudgingly accepts it and just resolves to throw it like usual. as for the ‘opening up to people’, he lands on owen.

owen was nice enough, genuine to a fault and the person least likely to use any of noahs bare slivers of vulnerability against him. hes safe.

[*noahs involvement within the show as something that the viewers are very interested in. he could be ratings gold and they know it.]

now im a little bit torn over the whole ‘chris’ assistant’ bit; similar to the awakeathon i would imagine it might just be missing entirely and he would be fired before the fact. or it could happen, as a way to give his on-screen character some information. as a ‘look everyone, i have Depth. stop prying into my life please’

either way, whatever. *total drama dirtbags show up, chris locks them out of the venue, they dont win any awards, bus chase etc.

^ note here, per usual noah comes off as his usual uncanny self around the cast. sierra is there as well, im sure thats Something for her. however he does take notice of one (1) alejandro burromuerto, recognizing him and focusing on him. < this comes back during introductions, where he notes his behavior towards the cast.

[*total drama dirtbags existed as the original ‘new TD season’ that noah found out about and worked on for a little bit before he finds out that it was not in fact a real show and a coverup for something else (a grab for an extra contestant for WT) < hence, he knows josé from interviews/auditions he helped with, but doesn’t know alejandro since he decided one brother was Enough]

^ and just for extra clarity on the TDD thing bc ive kind of muddled it, say noah finds out about dirtbags, helps out whatever. and then the news breaks that its a fake phish for a new contestant for an actual show — fine enough, he’s already behind the cameras, so he can just stay there, right?

no, actually. its kinda just slung at him that he has to be part of the cast (smth smth his job is threatened under ‘contractual obligation’ like its not wildly unconscionable). and he is soooo pissed off, so incredibly angry at the circumstances he’s landed himself in somehow.

< but he is aware that he cant just bottle everything up because it will spill over; chris said he needs something to his character, so maybe he can funnel his anger into playing the game a little more. as the most outlet he’ll get before he can throw it and just be done with the show entirely.

^ and then,,, alejandro.

while the actual events of pre-london remain largely unchanged, his dynamics are changed with the presence of four different variables: alejandro, izzy, owen, and sierra.

alejandro i’ll get into more later with a longer post detailing what they think of each other mutually, but im gna touch on alejandro a little; with picking off team victory and believing heather is the only person who’s noticed his facade, he just,, doesnt really distinguish noah as a threat worthy of focusing on.

^ throughout the game and the events of, he does single noah out as the most tolerable of all his teammates but doesnt offer much intrigue beyond that until *new york. (to note, he’s a lot more comfortable with [oblivious to??] noahs detachedness than the rest of the cast since that empty demeanor is p common among whatever diplomatic events hes been a part of)

izzy is someone who’s character i established mostly in the long post i had about her?? but it is worth mentioning now though that she does stick very close by to noah throughout her time on the show, and routinely interacts with him where most of the cast had given up trying altogether.

^ it builds,, a kind of rapport between her and noah?? in some way after the fact he’d recognize it as a nice, ‘i-want-to-know-more-about-you-and-also-befriend-you’ thing, but during he reacts more like a yowling cat tbh. he’s built up this reputation and facade that make people stay away from him, and now izzy wants to stick around him and threaten his defense mechanism? no thanks. (< further reasoning for why he belays insults towards her during WT under the guise of his own facade)

owen is a special case — in the bus chase before the season, noah took the time to sit by him and build up the proper beginnings of a friendship, which owen is thrilled about < during his time on island, owen was really fond of noahs quips and ‘just wished he would open up a bit more!!’,, he thinks some friends would b good for him and hes right

^ and again, owen is noahs safest option to 'endear' himself to the audience with a friend. hes so genuine and understanding of where noahs projected character falls flat, and like izzy keeps interacting and wants to interact with him where the rest of the cast gave up (and noah the person becomes very fond of owen and the reprieve their friendship offers him very quickly)

and finally,,, sierra. i actually want to talk more about the Audience as an entity in this AU in a later post and sierra ties into that heavily. as established, noah is the one cast member she just doesn't know anything about. of each blog she runs dedicated to each member of the show, his is the emptiest; the most baseless. being in proximity with the man of mystery is exciting!

^ noah still comes off as very uncanny valley to sierra and his detachedness is immediately clear. but the key difference to her and and cast is that she has the Audience perspective --- he's intriguing moreso than offputting. (and also theres definitely Something there about the meta-analysis of panopticon as an in-universe topic and how sierra would relate/connect that once it becomes clear to the cast why noah acts as he does)

[*new york (same time space as the aftermath?) as the moment when sierra prattles off information about the cast but comes up with nothing on noah that his own interest is piqued just a liitle bit, and he starts building a proper relationship up with noah as the straightmen to the cast. < also come after london is something he looks back on as a Hmm. moment wondering what noah knows about himself.

^ alejandro does believe their rapport is one-sided bc of his own facade, which i want to mention simply bc he's wrong. it is no-sided. both of them r faking.]

now getting to the episodes themselves -- minor changes/additions:

in the yukon, he doesn't try to cuddle bridgette

^ also in the yukon, he shivers less visibly than the cast (think when in cold weather you get those microtremors that really fucking hurt after a few seconds). this is only because it feeds into the android joke-turned-conspiracy for the folks watching on the aftermath set

in new york, he was not actually asleep in the carriage nor did he explicitly pretend to be. he just Kept Quiet when heather did her thing

in germany, he doesn't go up to alejandro when he falls off the platform, but he does prompt owen to ask something along a similar line [to his canon ones]

in the amazon, he's the one to point out owens absence

in paris, the line of 'this totally works on my dog' he changes to smth like 'totally works on dogs',, for his own exercise of privacy really

in the space of the jamaica aftermath, he again disappears from the rest of the cast à la playa des losers save for owen. owen gets a hello during mealtimes and hes the only one.

and finally, the episodes of 'significant' development with noahs intrigue in alejandro:

beginning before any real events of the show during introductions

^ kicked off in germany similarly to canon, emphasized by newfoundland and the grab for DJ's alliance

and cemented completely [his interest in unmasking him] in jamaica, continuing onward with london around when he discovers that alejandro is acting skittery towards him because of his own suspicions

#i definitely meant to go more over the actual episodes and events here #but somehow got possessed and wrote all of this instead #i genuinely dk what happened. i blinked and had 1.5k words of whatever This is #i really need to copy paste all of these posts onto one document and try to organize it properly hmm #if theres any inconsistencies pls tell me but also be nice :(#i feel like i muddled a lot of things here hmmm #dramaturgyAU #total drama #td noah #total drama au #< scary have i tagged that before #i re-read this and had grammar changes but looking at it i cannot be bothered umm. sorry

Cruella De Vil x Fem!Seamstress!Reader || Oneshot

Plot: Plot?... uh, I saw a picture on Pinterest of a bat corset (From JanesCorsets on Etsy) and wanted to see my wife in it XD Thats pretty much it. But um. Uh- This'll do;

You sew your boss into her outfit for the party tonight and some unexpected feelings come to life in the pit of your belly. And maybe other places, up higher.

When Cruella notices... she offers you a deal.

Warnings: Reader has a wandering eye and there's a splash of blackmail on Cruella's end.

Tagging: @asperol-with-izzy , @disney-android-foundation , @ghouletka , @lady-love88 , @marinerainbow , and @ryantryan6969 .

She looked amazing in the bat corset and skirt- and thankfully, it wasn't made of bat skin.

... it was painted crocodile leather and silk lining. But still, the fact that you managed to talk the fashion hawk of London out of killing a 50 bats for her corset and skirt combo, was an achievement.

And she really did look good in it. As you sewed her into it (Yes, the outfit needed to be sewed around her), you couldn't help but notice that fact. And not in a seamstress kind of way- in a lesbian way. Vaguely you were aware that these thoughts were unprofessional, thoughts like fuck is this woman hot and maybe i should do some last-minute adjustments to the breast plate,.. but also, working for her was unprofessional to start with. The House of De Vil was more like a battle field or Italy with the Borgia Family in charge; filled with betrayal and visciousness. So merely noticing Cruella's tits didn't really seem like that big a sin.

Once you'd managed to sew the back of Cruella's corset closed tightly, so she could not slouch and so it wouldn't come loose, you take your little thread scissors and cut the string free. Then you make sure that all the string is hidden away, and no loose ends hang free... then back up to get a good look at the outfit as a whole.

... good work, if you do say so yourself. (Its not as if she'll tell you so, after all. The cold, wicked bitch that she is- even if she is remarkably appealing all of a sudden)

As you smirk and appreciate your excellent handy work (Why be humble, anyway?? You weren't hired for humble), Cruella becomes impatient. "... Well?? Are you finished?? It looks like the drawing, so I assume you are- "

"-'It looks like the picture'?? Cruella, this is a masterpiece." You snap back, waiving a hand dismissively at her. You were never one to let your work by unappreciated- even by Cruella De Vil. Never. "Take it in!; you got a wall fulla' mirrors here. The dress, and the woman in it, look beautiful."

"Ugh, honestly. You are a pest Y/N." Cruella snaps back, rolling her eyes and scowling with those pretty painted lips of hers. She doesn't, however, threaten your job like she would anyone else for the lip you just gave her. Why?? Well you both know you're the best in your field. You can speak to her any way you want- she'll never risk you getting scooped up by a competitor. All her best outfits have been by you. Have had your name sewed minutely on the inside somewhere.

... For example, this particular outfit, has you name sewed into one of the breast cups- and right now as you look at her you're quite pleased you decided to put it there this time.

Cruella's eyes stray from her form in the mirror to you; catches your gaze on her chest. " -what are you looking at??"

"My work, madam." You shrug, smoothly, brushing it off with a sarcastic tone and lifting your eyes to hers- a challenging look on your face. ... is she gonna say anything?

Her eyes, so like a snake's from beneath a rock, settle on you darkly and challenge you right back. You wish you could say this was out of the ordinary, that you didn't often engage in optical battle with your employer; but you cant. This is a regular occurrence. So you don't have any trouble giving her the eye right back for a few moments.

"... I could've sworn you were staring at my chest, darling, like some common pervert. Am I wrong??" She knows she's not wrong. You know she's not wrong.

... You part your lips to say something, but the hesitation was just enough chance for her to strike. Damnit. With her hands (Claws) on her defined hips, Cruella narrows her eyes. "-because if you were, I'd have to file a harassment complaint- or something else silly, that the board always waffle on about." For a split second, you feel frustrated- but then Cruella simpers. She pouts her lips, and bats her eyelashes. She approaches you in that skin tight black leather bat corset and while you stand there perfectly relaxed, albeit a little honestly surprised, Cruella curls a loose strand of your hair around one of her talons. "... or," Or? "We could come to some sort of agreement? What do you think?"

Narrowing your eyes suspiciously, you squint at her. "... -are you serious??"

"As the plague, darling!" Her eyes go wide, almost innocent. When you don't respond, she sighs huffily with impatience. "Look- I haven't had a woman in months because of work. And I know you haven't had a woman in months- yes, I'm well aware you're a lesbian, dear." Well, its not as if you hide it; there's a sapphic erotica novel sitting on your desk that you've been flipping through on lunch breaks. "And I also know, that neither of us are going to meet anyone outside of work for months still, because I'm about to push the work load even further," That gives you pause, and you almost drop your jaw in outrage. She's what!?- Goddamit, this woman already has you all working 10 hour days in this hellhole- but Cruella just goes on. "So, I suggest that since we work so closely, together, anyway... -and also since you're not terribly offensive to be around... that we... " She shrugs, that pouty simpering 'innocent' look once again on her pretty face. "Make the best of it. Hm?"

With this woman's fingers in your hair, and her heated eyes on you, and her cleavage in front of you- it seems like a dream opportunity.

But you're not a dumb woman.

After an obvious look downwards towards her breasts, you give her pointed, raised-eyebrow-look. "What's the catch?"

She shrugs. She knows you're not a dumb woman. "You forfeit the chance to find a meaningful relationship outside of work, your whole life stays at work, I own you pretty much... but I already do, so that doesn't really change, does it?"

"... you own me??" You ask, deftly. Hmm... you kinda like that.

"What?.. You didn't read your employment contract?" She smiles broadly, and you're not sure if she's joking or not to be quite honest. Because no, you did not. Not fully; You were drinking when you signed it.

To be quite honest, though, you don't particularly care right now. She's right, you haven't had anything to do with another woman's body except to fit her, for too long. Your pussy's practically screaming for a fuck right now- you can barely think.

... would this be much different from your life already? You life is work- how else does one get as good as you are? And you've never been very good at relationships... not platonic ones, and not romantic ones. You're good for fashion, lesbian sex and the occasional scathing insult; thats it.

So this, with Cruella who's no slouch in at least 2 of those things as well (To your knowledge thus far), sounds...

Kind of perfect.

Instead of responding, instead of attempting to outdo her with the words she's so clearly superior with, you take the beautiful woman's face in your hands and draw her in for your first kiss which she responds to with intense satisfaction. Your hands trail down her neck, over the smooth skin of her chest and the tops of her soft breasts, then over the rough leather of her corset while her long, painted talon's scratch gently over your cheeks probably leaving marks behind.

After a few moments of voracious kissing, you both pull back; a satisfied smile on your lips and a gleeful on on hers.

"Excellent~ ... meet me at my home after the event, darling."

"See you then."

sometimes i see people say "Izzy did everything he could to make the crew miserable in season 1" but he really didn't?

He was trying to make them do their jobs.

Izzy is first mate, Ed expects him to keep things running no matter what, and while I don't think it's ever been as bad as it is in season 2 I do believe Ed has at least berated him for not having the crew in line.

We just never saw season 1 ed just casually hanging out with izzy. He's off with stede for the majority of it leaving Izzy to try and figure out what to do in this new world that his boss brought him into and defaulting to making sure the ship runs fine and that everyone is doing something.

And like he eventually gives up? the second lucius has leverage against him Izzy basically stops trying to boss the crew around and goes to Edward like "Please end this I'm going crazy and I want to go home"

Bc izzy has always been ed's first mate first and the crew's first mate second

in season 2 we see a shift, where izzy is worried about his crew and standing up to ed, taking punishments for them, and yeah still yelling at them to do things they don't agree with but its not like he agrees with it either. in fact Izzy doesn't even try to get the crew arrested at the end of season 1, only stede, and he stays behind to try and captain them and realizes his authority holds no weight without ed there.

I think thats part of the reason izzy is so protective of the crew too. he realizes when it comes down to it if anything happened to Ed he would have to captain this lot and he knows he cant so he's trying to protect ed from them as well, but sometimes that means forcing ed to treat the crew with respect bc they're one more mind game from throwing a cannonball at his face.

and when they do that izzy doesnt even try to take any authority! they're all just starving on the boat together! bc this dude learns from his mistakes!

One of the dumbest things I think you've ever said was that cartoon fans hate children because they don't like how certain child characters are written or because they think a reboot of a kids show is badly written. Like, you do understand there's a difference, right? Yeah, I totally want children dead or something because I children's entertainment can be better than those soulless, ugly nursery rhyme compilation videos that children are addicted to. Logic.

Cartoon fans always have a warped idea how children actually are. Because they forget WE WERE kids. Whenever they see a little kid character who is slightly overbearing and overenergetic, yknow what a little kid IS, the fandom calls the character "annoying", "brat" etc. And god forbid if a teenage character was their point of contention

I remember watching Transformers Prime and I thought Miko was my fave out of the human teens the Autobots looked after. Yet Ive seen so many fans complaining she was a rude, impulsive, bratty bitch and found her excitable attitude around the Autobots "annoying" because how DARE a 14 year old acts stupid and is excited to hang out with giant robots.

And this stems to how cartoon fans view children who are fans as well. I was in the brony fandom and I noticed whenever the show introduced more characters or spin offs for the sake of toys, a lot of bronies groaned how its so "girly" and "not what the show is" aka anything remotely marketable and feminine whatsoever. And they got mad when kids loved it cos it reminded them they're watching a girl's show. They outright pilloried G3 fans for liking such a baby's show when Friendship is Magic is literally no different than g3 outside of more consistent characters and its funnier. Heck, even when G5 came along and there was a poll of who their fave main character was and Pipp, the most feminine of the group who was a social media savant, had the least votes. Whereas Izzy, the g5 Pinkie Pie, was at no. 1. (which goes to show how cartoon fanbases are extremely biased to wacky comic relief characters with quasi-neurodivergent traits) Also I was exposed to a lot of fucked up shit, the porn of this fandom was unfiltered and incredibly easy to access on youtube and google. (this was before youtube kids was a thing) This is the same fandom that brought us Cupcakes and Fallout Equestria and Rarity's New Designs. All from a show thats about horse puppies being friends. And as for the little kids who were surrounded by this content, no wonder they grew up traumatised. Cos bronies didnt give a single pissing shit about the children. Look up brony horror stories. You'll see why.

Cartoon fandoms have this preconceived notion to muscle children out of the picture as possible so they can feel more secure watching kids shows without their parents judging them. They hate being reminded that the stuff they watch IS FOR KIDS IN THE FIRST PLACE. But the problem is 75% of media out there is made for children in mind. Star Wars, Disney, Pixar movies, Dreamworks movies, Batman, Spiderman, Marvel, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Transformers etc.

As for the bad reboot angle, I always firmly believed the phrase "This X REBOOT RUINED MY CHILDHOOD" is always a defensive way of saying: "THIS CHILDRENS PROPERTY IS NOT IMMEDIATELY CATERING TO ME >:(" Like they treat a reboot like its an act of betrayal when its just a piece of media changing and evolving with the generations to appeal to the newer ones. If you want the same show you watched as a kid, just watch the original thing on youtube or collect dvds and merch of it. But if you want to watch this reboot, you've got to realise change is what reboots do and if you get mad at the small/big changes a reboot makes...

You're literally Patchy in this scene

youtube

As long as a show doesnt push racist/sexist/bigoted or any problematic themes in their faces, its fine. If the kids love it, the reboots done its job.

And as for the quality of children's entertainment, I dont really give a shit what soulless nursery rhyme collection or sanitised fluff kids watch. We all had our mindless fluff we watched as kids and we didnt get scarred for life because of it.

Just...leave the kids alone. Just act like adults and manage your shit carefully. Let the kids enjoy what they enjoy and for the love of god DONT GET SO FUCKING DEFENSIVE OVER LIKING A CARTOON AIMED AT BABIES. ITS ONLY WEIRD WHEN YOU MAKE IT WEIRD.

#tw bronies #cartoon fandoms suck #these ppl jus dont know how to adult #or how to interact with children normally #my head hurts

thinking about how i hated the ending of last kizuna

which sucks because i love the idea of “digimon adventure series but theyre older grown up now!”, and i liked literally everything EXCEPT for how they handled the main theme/plot.

(rant below, disclaimer: i watch the dub, dunno how different the plot is from the original/sub. also its been a hot sec since i watched it but it pissed me off so much i remember the main details dw. spoilers btw)

the theme in last kizuna fucking sucks. It’s all about like. letting things go as you grow up, which is fine, but they do it in the stupidest, most untrue way possible.

theyre trying to say that like. the digimon “die” (or at the very least disappear forever) as a digidestined grows up and “loses all their potential” because kids have more potential than adults

but that is just. straight up untrue? True, theres a whole idea about how kids have the potential to grow up to do anything. but its not like all your choices in life end when you hit 22 (i say this because thats around how old they are in the movie, early 20s 💀). You have the potential to: Learn new things/take college classes, get new jobs/pursue new careers, hell even smaller things like getting new hobbies or just. There’s so much potential in life for you to do things that make you happy. and I’d argue adults have more potential than kids, as they have more freedom and more of the ability to actively work towards change and work towards whatever potential they have (kids cant exactly pursue new careers or something like that)

And whats even stupider than the bad message is: they chose the two kids with THE MOST potential to kill of their digimon because of this stupid explanation. Think about it: Mimi has started a start up business, Izzy is already the president of a tech company, Joe is a doctor: most of the kids have careers now. But then they chose MATT AND TAI (Matt is in school still. Tai literally spends the whole movie not knowing what he wants to do with his life, he’s struggling in school and finding a meaningful career/what he wants to do with his life). And they say “oh those two have lost their potential so their digimon are disappearing” WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THEY HAVE ALL THE POTENTIAL IN THE WORLD TAI LITERALLY DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH HIS LIFE 😭😭

My personal theory is that the villain was wrong. She lost her digimon when she was like, a little kid still, and it was after a great achievement in her life. So she goes “oh, it must be because I lost all my potential :( “ and thats the explanation they go with for the entire movie. But it is like. Likely that shes wrong purely because that doesnt make any fucking sense 💀

I don’t know exactly what the true explanation is, but heres me taking a shot in the dark with a guess (which could be wrong): I think that its a metaphorical “destiny” death. Digimon never really die for real, we know this since theyre originally just a tamagotchi (which resets when it dies), and even though in the movie they say that theyre gone forever, the ending implies theyre not (and if the 02 ending is canon: then we KNOW theyre not since they were way older in that and still have their digimon). But I do think that like: its the death of their destiny duties. The whole god damn series these kids havent had a break from constantly having to save the world with digidestined madness. But its getting to a point where theres enough new digidestined to where: the older ones might not be needed to save the world anymore.

its a “death” from having to deal with the responsibility of the digital world and all the destiny shit that comes with it. And I think that if they seek out their digimon (who are implied to still be around based on the ending, also the villain definitely tried seeking out her digimon. while we don’t know fully what happened, its clear menoa lost sight of herself, perhaps her digimon got corrupted/dark digivolved into the eosmon we see throughout the film, since eosmon is DEFINITELY the evolution of morphomon.) If they do seek out their digimon without losing sight of themselves, i believe could still have a happy life together (as we see at the end of 02). Just without any of the holds to destiny they once had. Theyve lost their old responsibilities, and have new ones in their own, adult lives.

hello hello, its time for the French GP which means its time for a new update

also, you can read part 3 here

Cruel Summer | Charles Leclerc imagine | part 4

im pretty positive that when taylor swift wrote cruel summer she wasn't actually thinking about joe, but how cruel summer is in france, for the love of god, and im used with the brazilian summer, and trust me, brazilian summer is petty much a spoiler from hell, but france were trying really hard to steal that from brazil.

as the usual, i arrived in france a couple of days before the team, one of my best friends lives in toulon, but we take the first day to go to paris and have our precious moments just being tourists, izzy and i studied together the last three years in high school but we kept contact and she became one of the people i trust most in the world, so it was really nice to have her these days.

i haven't spoken to charles the last two weeks, i was take that time to go back to my home country and enjoy the short time i had with my grandparents and the time different make quite impossible for me to talk to anyone on the team, but i was confident things weren't to change, we are both adults and we can kiss and remain friends. and im pretending he didn't say anything about ruining me, if i think too much about it i could faint and it wouldn't look nice.

the time in paris make me realize that from france i like the wine, the cheese, the accent and the desserts, and one or two french people, and thats all. izzy and i went back to her parents house and used the last two days we had together before i had to join the team to spend as much time as we could in beach, and also for us to kick some people at beach volleyball. by the time i was back with ferrari i was glowing with happiness and the summer sun left a little kiss on my skin, it make me look way more the old me.

i went to the circuit on wednesday, i was working together with carlos engineering team to fix the car in time, we would switch everything so he would go straight to the end of the grid, but we want to see how the peace would go. we spent the whole day working on the car, and when thursday arrived the drivers came with it.

i was analyzing some things about strategy and charles car, we would take the day to take a deep care on his throttle and make sure everything was ok, i wasn't sure about the chief thoughts about it, but i didn't want anything to went wrong, we have a solid chance to close the points difference to red bull and verstappen and i want to grab it and close it as soon as possible. i was sitting away from the people and didn't notice the boys arriving, carlos scared me when he snapped his fingers in front of me, give me a high five and went to his garage, i waited i little to see if charles would pass by, but he didn't and i went back yo my job. later that day when i was fixing some things on the tool box he came silently behind me and give me a shoulder kiss, it was way more intimate than the club kiss.

"hello to you" he saind and moved to your front so his gaze could be leveled up with yours

"hello to you too" you were pretty aware about the heat on your cheeks

"how was your home time?"

"do you remember?" he nodded and smile to you "well, it was ok, i went to my grandparents house, back to my own bed for a couple of days and spent a long time just holding my cat, it was nice. how was your week?"

"it was nice, went home to my family" he was toying with your fingers; you've never expected charles to be the kind of person who likes physical touch, but apparently he was, and you like that.

"we are working on the throttle, so we don't expect more issues, but were gonna wait to see during free practice" you said, keep it the limb between what happened and the professional life was safe

"ok, i trust you, but let me know" he chuckle a little bit on the past part

"i will, don't worry" both of you stand in silence for a couple of minutes, you knew charles wanted to say something "ok, what is it?"

"can i ask you something? you don't have to answer" he looks so cute when he's shy about something

"yes, you can, just ask"

"so... girls?" you laughed, the club girl, you were expecting them to forget

"well, yes, girls" you didn't want to ask that, but you kinda have to "does it bother you?"

"no. absolutely not. i couldn't care less, honestly, i just wondered because we were all drunk and i kept thinking that maybe you weren't into girls but just to, i don't know, keep pierre from making any move... honestly, i don't know, but it doesn't bother me in anyway"

"oh, ok, thats really nice from you, but i do like girls, ever since i was 16, so it wasn't a big deal, it's just something i like to keep to myself at least at the beginning, until i got the trust feeling" you weren't trying to explain yourself, just came naturally to talk about it with charles

"so you trust us?"

"i trust you because its my job, im pretty positive they're not gonna say anything, but if they do its not a secret, i just like to keep my life private" he nodded to you and give you a small smile, just the dimples showing up

"so you trust me, that's nice"

"well, charles, i have to trust you, it's a both hands driveway, for us to do our jobs we need to trust each other, but yes, i kinda trust you to talk about my personal life, does it make you happy?"

"yes, it does, and just for the record, i trust you too, and trust my car to you and your hands, anyway, do you want to go eat something after? i owe you a tour"

"definitely, im starving, i need to finish some things but i think im free in 45 minutes"

"ill pick you up than" he said and walked away, winking at you

"god i really need to teach you how to wink" you said and both of you laughed

after press conference and media stuff, you and charles left to a walk around the city, he showed you incredible food and take you to an incredible wine store.

"the car is feeling amazing, you're doing a good job" he said after he finished his icecream

"im putting effort into that, and thank you, it means a lot but..." he cut you

"your just doing your job, i know, i know"

"i got a gift for you" he give you that half surprise half curious look and turned his whole body to you

"it's an amulet, naples one, my parents lives there so... its a curniciello" you gave him the small box and he immediately opened it, it was just a pendant, he could tie anywhere, you just want yo give him something to hold into

"y/n... thank you, really, thank you" he hugged you for the third time - not that you were counting

you spent the rest of evening talking while the icecream man kept feeding you with a bunch of different combinations, once you couldn't take another sip you went back to the hotel, tomorrow would be the big day.

qualy day, saturday, france

the team was apprehensive, we knew carlos would start from the back, but the team work was there, during the q3 carlos give charles the vacuum, it was what give him the highest possible to win the pole position, and after austria you knew how much the pole meant to him. the team went loud, we were happy and there was that euphoric feeling on the air, something good was about to happen and that got the team tighter than the usual.

"I've said earlier but i want to say again, it was a great lap, so congrats on pole"

"carlos helped me a lot, grande grande carlos"

"im always confused if your speaking italian or trying to speak spanish, but yes, grande carlos"

"it was supposed to be spanish, is it wrong?"

"no, its right, and the italian help a lot, latin languages usually complete each other"

"how many languages do you speak after all? you said your parent lives in italy"

"portuguese, spanish, english and italian, and yes, my parents lives there for the last 5 years"

"why don't you speak italian with the team?"

"i got mixed together in my minds, its really similar with portuguese and spanish and when i realize im speaking three languages at the same time, so i keep with english, its easier"

as the day before, you sit there the whole afternoon, you talked about a thousand different things and nothing at the same time, every times you got to know a piece of him you liked charles more and more.

sunday, race day:

if your life had a narrator, the narrator voice would be echoing "and they has absolutely no idea on what was about to happen".

the lights went of and charles did the most incredible, amazing, shining start. he was doing amazing until lap 11, i saw in slow motion as he spin and hit the wall

"are you ok?" i asked on the radio way before he collided with the barrier

"i dont got throttle" he answered and his voice was already completely different, he kept going into the barrier and couldn't reverse, when you were about to say sorry his radio exploded with a huge "no", his breath was so heavy, you were so worried about a injury or him getting hurt. he stayed inside the car a couple more seconds and when he got out he didn't take his helmet off, you were so sorry and so upset you couldn't hold the gasp and the tears that followed the minutes after. the win was on his lap, we just need to do good pitstops and he would win again - and good know how much we needed that victory.

"you cant do this now, not here" xavi came to me and said, it wasn't a lecture, but i was charles engineer, i couldn't break with him. i grabbed the leave of my jacket and whipped the tears away, got up and went to wait for him. charles passed through everyone and locked himself inside his motorhome.

"charles, please, let me in" he didn't answered any of my calls, so i sit there, on the floor, in front his door and waited. i could hear his heavy breaths, i wasn't sure if he was crying or having a crisis, so i tried again "charles? im here ok, im here if you need anything and im not leaving" i listened a sound coming from inside, it was the lock, he didn't opened the door, but he unlocked it, it took another rounds of minutes so i could finally hear the door open, he was sitting side by side with de doorframe, we were back on back, just a wall between us "can i came in?" he didn't answered, again, but he opened the door, giving me space.

i got inside and lock the door again, he didn't need anyone around, i didn't even know why i was there. i sit down, giving him to his personal space, it look like an eternity, but he looked at me and i could see everything, the sadness, the anger, the frustration... all of that.

"im so sorry, charles, i should have checked the system, im so sorry i didn't"

"it wasn't the car" was the only thing he said, "it was on me, it wasn't the car" his breath didn't became lighter, slowly i put my hands on his right arm, i was expecting him to pull away, but he didn't, he gasped and let his head fall on his knees

"can you give me deep breaths? i know its hard, but can you try it?" i had plenty of time to learn how to deal with crises, every kinda of, the way charles was reacting got me so worried that i could barely think "i promise it will get better, you just need to deep breath" after a couple of minutes i could hear his breath a little clear, it was starting to calm down "do you want to be alone?" he grabbed my hand and for the first time in what feels hours he spoke clearly

"please don't let me alone, i can't"

"that's ok, im here, im not leaving until you tell so, there's anything you want me to do?"

"can you time travel? because if you can i would like to go back to two hours ago" he stayed in silence and continued "i failed with them, the team, myself, jules family, everyone, i keep failing with them over and over again, i don't deserve the championship, i don't deserve to win, i don't" all the times before he had hugged me it was nothing compared with this time, he held me like his life depends on it, it was desperate, the only thing i could do was hold him back, and i did it, i held him against me tighter than i could

"listen to me, you don't have to say anything or answered me, i just need you to listen what i have to say, its ok to commit mistakes, you're not a machine, you're not perfect, you're an athlete and no athlete can be 100% at everytime, no one can do that, your pushing yourself on you limit and once you fell its gonna hurt, but just like loosing is a shitty part of the process, falling is also part of that same process, i know your taking everything on you right now, and im not telling you not to, but im telling you that the mistakes you commit doesn't define you, you are bigger than this, you are bigger than the championships and i know you want to win, i know you hate to loose because when we win we want that feeling again and again, and we lost, because you cannot always win, but life isn't made just by loosing, winning is great, its worst than any kind of drug, but we as human beings need to learn how to deal with the defeat because you're not a superhero, your not unbeatable, you're human charles, and humans commit mistakes"

"but i keep commenting mistakes..."

"imola was on you, even i can tell that, but after imola? you're not the responsible for spain, the car died, monaco was a strategy mistake, azerbaijan was another power unit issue, montreal you had to go all over the grid and silverstone we don't know how that happened, you are doing your job, giving all of you to this team, we are the ones failing you, and im deeply sorry about it"

"you dont have to cheer me up or came with excuses about today" good, he was talking again

"its not a excuse, mistakes happen, were moving on, tomorrow is a new day" he deep breath and let me go, he was visible calmer than half an hour ago, we stayed in silence, it wasn't needed to fulfill that with small talk, it was just a knock on the door that take us out, charles needed to do media duties, that was the most cruel part about the defeat.

"can you came with me, i want to go back to the hotel and i don't want to be alone" he asked and got up

"yeah, sure, im gonna let mattia know youre ok, meet you outside" i got up and left the room before he could say anything.

charles changed his racing suit to a most comfortable one, talked with the team and mattia, did his press duties and once he was done the race was over and i could say congratulations to carlos, it was a shitty weekend last race but he managed pretty well today, i also talked with mattia and let him know i was going to drive charles back and if he needed anything he could call me, after today we would probably went back to maranello to work things better.

charles was driving a pretty common ferrari this weekend, way easier to drive than you imagined his pista spider would be, he got into the passenger seat, put his sunglasses on and rested his head on the glass, you drove him back to the hotel all the team were staying and once you parked he didn't left the car.

"i hate to see you like that" you said quietly, your voice barely higher than a whisper

"the most difficult part its gonna be sleep tonight, I'll be fine tomorrow and im gonna work harder in budapest" he was sure of it, and god help you, he better win something next week or you would have to take him to your grandma

"there's anything i can do to make you feel better?" that was a question you made more than once today

"can you stay with me?" he had taken his glasses off and was looking straight to you

"yes, i can" your mind was a spiral of things to make him feel less miserable and there was only one thing you could do.

charles went to his room to shower and talk to his mom and arthur and you went to yours, you did pretty much the same thing, shower, called your parents and went to find your secret weapon, a tangled dvd from jesus know how many years and your movie notebook, it was a common notebook, just a old one that had the entrance to dvd player, you also called anna and ask her to pass on the closest bakery and bought happiness emergency supply, cake, pie and a huge package of popcorn.

charles texted you a little bit more than an hour after, you had everything you need and when he opened the door he was way more relaxed and calm than an hour before. both of you make the room comfortable and you pinky promised him you would work out with him during the week.

once you turned you notebook on he look at you with one eyebrow raise, or at least he tried:

"how old this is?" he pointed to the dvd compartment

"younger than you and me, just for your information"

"your wallpaper is one direction, so i would say ten years?" he was joking again

"ha ha, not funny leclerc, but you're gonna like it" you put the dvd and started playing on the screen, the tangled music went up and charles immediately got happier, he laid down, his head close to yours as the screen reflected on his eyes

"your right, i like it, thank you for today, for everything, for being there, for what you said and for being here right now"

"i told you in silverstone, im your girl, you'll jump I'll jump"

you spent the whole night watching disney movies and at some point you got him into the idea of watching volleyball and put a match from the turkish league for him to watch, but the tiredness from the day caught him, he was sleeping in the middle of first set, his breath was calm and low, his head was on your shoulders because at some point you got closer.

you got a text from carlos asking how things were, you answered and he immediately thanked you, for taking good care of his car and his teammate, charles cellphone lighted up a couple of times, you just turned off and let him sleep, that was the most peaceful moment of his day and he deserved that.

next part here

hey guys, im just so sad that all i think about is how Charles must be feeling right now and all i want is to hold him and tell him everything is gonna be okay, anyway, hope you enjoy this one

#charles leclerc #charles leclerc x reader #formula one imagine #charles leclerc x you #formula 1 #f1 #charles leclerc deserves happiness
