the one thing that keeps throwing me about both dollars trilogy order in general and supernatural man with no name au specifically is that in a way, of all the incarnations of the man with no name, somehow blondie seems the most mature, or at least like he's experienced the most.

i think some of that is that blondie's more of an asshole than the others and therefore seems somewhat more like he's been burned before and hardened over time (though i will admit his specific brand of cynicism does also strike me as a tad juvenile, or at least appealing to my bitter teenage self). i think some of that is also just the order the films came out in and their actor aging (though, granted, not by much).

but also: manco specifically, in comparison to mortimer, just seems so young. he's impulsive, at least more than his partner. he's hotblooded. he's kind of goofy (case in point: the dynamite scene). he has a certain impishness to him, which is also very present in with joe a fistful of dollars, whereas blondie just strikes me as kind of a prick. blondie isn't lighthearted in the same way–he feels weighed down, feels like he's bullshitting. manco, and especially joe, come across to me as having a sincerity that blondie absolutely does not.

and it's weird, because it's that exact lightheartedness that initially struck me as otherworldly, too. blondie, in a way, feels more real, more gritty, more sensible–and in a way more fearful, though he hides it well. more calculated and less instinctive. and yet, with regard to trilogy order, this should be the earliest point, and with regards to supernatural man with no name theory, should be the least human. joe is all folktale, manco skirts the line, but blondie is just...a very skilled guy that's hard to read, or he seems that way to me.

so my next thought is that maybe it's something to do with narratorial control:

joe doesn't have a partner, so there's no one competing to tell the story and we see him as he'd most like to be seen: unreadable, a myth as much as a man (case in point, the ending), always two steps ahead of everybody else, dangerous but at times benevolent. and i think it's important that after he gets beaten up, which given how well everything has been going until that point feels rather jarring, that he has this moment where he peeks out between these two boards and looks nearly into the camera–it's almost a break of the fourth wall, and it feels like this moment of honesty, like he's telling you "and this is what really happened: i got my ass kicked."

meanwhile, manco is still kind of lighthearted and otherworldly, but he's more human, less infallible, somewhere between a folktale and just some kid with a gun. because mortimer is there, and his narrative viewpoint is competing with manco's.

and then blondie feels the least otherworldly, because this is tuco's story more than his, and to tuco he isn't a myth, he's just a man. tuco sees through his bullshit and consequently so do we, at least a little, because they're both fighting to tell the story how they want.

but also–it's a continuous series and also it isn't, and you know, it is what it is.

#will never organize these thoughts well enough for my liking so take them as they are before i write a damn essay #dollars trilogy #a fistful of dollars #for a few dollars more #the good the bad and the ugly #the man with no name

One for the Aeon fans.

So, this isn't my ship and I originally wasn't going to post some of this... but the Resident Evil 2 Survival Guide is pretty rare and kinda pricey... And at the end of the day I want everyone to have plenty of shipping content to enjoy.

Note that these excerpts may not be as goofy as the others but I hope you Leon and Ada lovers still enjoy them. :)

Leon, if you moved a little faster then maybe the lump woulda been in HER throat.

Ha...

Kick his ass, Leon!

I mean... is five minutes REALLY gonna be the difference between life and death?

If only you knew... ;)

You're good, honey. Go for it.

Poor fella.

"Patch you up" indeed...

Story of his life...

"Horror-moon" would be a great name for a wedding fic that takes place during an outbreak... just saying.

Like, I know this is serious and all but "she has given up mentally" keeps lingering in my mind every time I hear something dumb and my brain shuts down.

"Don't worry! You still have most of your blood!" :)

"Ada wait!"

The bastard!

Damn straight.

Finally!

Oh my!

She is a woman of many talents. Dress wearing is one of them.

Don't pick up any bad habits, Leon...

;)

In hindsight this scene now strikes me as kinda funny since, y'know... Ada lives and all. Like, my guy, check for a pulse...

Leon: No! She's dead... :(

Ada: I'm alright, Leon.

Leon: Its like I can still hear her voice. :(

Ada: ...

But yeah, that's all for now. While the rest of my blog may not be to your liking, I hope all you Aeon fans got a kick out of this extra long post. <3

just finished watching Tje Bad Guys. I really liked it! Here's my thoughts:

snake and wolf totally have a thing goin on

ms fox was a bit of a mary sue but she looked hot doing it so all is forgiven

speaking of, i really enjoy her dynamic with mr wolf. at first i didnt care much for it, but when it was revealed she was also an ex-criminal, i began to dig it. that scene where wolf geeks over her equipment like a fanboy hit me so good. and their cute dialogue over it "i actually prefer the older model" "agree to disagree" i can relate to that level of autism when you talk to somebody who is equally passionate on a subject.

the computer joke got me to laugh tbh. when webs was having technique difficulties and they were throwing suggestions "maybe it needs system permissions?" "update a driver!" it was so funny bc that's exactly what troubleshooting feels like. literally whenever i have a computer issue i cant instantly figure the cause of im like "update a driver. its gotta be one of them."

the Twist that marmalade was #evil i saw coming, but i do like how they pulled it off. i didnt think he was the grandma tbh. also the breakdown scene had so much (unintentional) death note imagery. i literally was like "HES HAVING HIS KIRA BREAKDOWN"

i also saw the twist coming that Snake set him up, but again, it was satisfying and made sense why he couldnt or didnt tell the others of it, so i forgive it

the animation style was a lot of fun. kind of into the spiderverse esque with the 3d animation that feels very 2d

mr wolf has a praise kink

another story that focuses with the whole "dont judge a book by its cover!" and "people can change!" but its not a bad moral, it's simple and important regardless

that line where maramalade said to mr. wolf smth like "Looks like the big bag wolf has been outsmarted yet again by a little piggy" was clever. also when he kicked the door open just as Wolf had his angry outburst to paint him in a bad light. saw that coming but made me have that instinctive cringe reaction all the same bc man wolf was boned

to the hacker of the group: "Where'd you learn to do that?" "oh, you know, i'm a born natural, it just comes to me......... *sighs* YouTube, mostly."

also, im very pleased that characters in this movie dont speak perfectly. as in, they stutter and redo their sentences in the middle of them, especially when frustrated. This is something that has always bothered me in many forms of media. People don't speak perfectly most of the time and tend to stumble and stutter. I'm really glad that characters do it several times over, it feels more real. And the voice acting was great

i liked that when everyone thought the guys had stolen smth they actually didnt, they turned on them. This obviously made them feel betrayed, but they didnt give up. i like that the general public wasnt portrayed as perfect obviously, and the guys took offense to it but still pushed forward

also i kinda like the subtle notion that, ironically spoken by marmalade, that there's good in everyone. despite the fact he turned out to be the true villain, if it wasn't for him, the bad guys wouldn't have become the good guys in the first place

some things i didnt necessarily like:

the character of the shark feels exactly the same as the shark character in the harley quinn show. not that it's a bad thing, it's just odd such a specific archetype is prevalent (comic relief goofy villain shark with black man voice who's main trait in heists is to play the part of a disguise but the joke is you can tell it's obviously a shark)

especially when in her bad guy outfit, ms fox's body is so... curvy and ""female"". this isn't a problem with this movie specifically, pretty much any other female character furry movie or otherwise has this issue

not a fart joke fan sorry :( well sometimes but not here

not necessarily a good or bad thing, but this movie has many parallels to zootopia, but if zootopia was told from nick's perspective and he was a wolf, and judy was a fox. both movies have similar themes while zootopia also deals with racism. i like both movies for different reasons. however, zootopia did mildly criticize the police industry by portraying them as uncooperative, caring more about reputation than getting the job done, and being guilty of racism as well. Of course it's to be expect that a movie about a new cop would critique the police more than a movie about bad guys who don't work with the force. except that maybe you can see it as them being too trigger happy with arresting people.

Anyway, good movie! Enjoyed it. the wolf was hot as hell.

edit: forgot to ask, what WAS the point of marmalade dressing up like an old lady? all this only happened bc wolf tried to steal her purse, but she tripped, so he was forced to help her to not cause a scene, and she praised him. Assuming the tripping was on purpose, how did he know wolf would even try to rob her in the first place? How did he predict Wolf would come here - that he had good in him to even trick him with?????? it just seems super coincidental and he assumed a lot of things for this "him dressing up as an old lady" trick to work. idk

#;noxiatalksia #posts the prosecution will pull up next time i say ''im not a furry''

12, 13, 34, 45, 50! for the fic asks

12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike that uave grown on you?

I think time loop Aus. For a while I didnt like reading angst in general v much and I got annoyed quickly by how long it took for the comfort part of hurt/comfort to kick in. But then I read this one that wasn't even hurt/comfort it was just oure angst all the time and I was like "damn... Gotta get me some more of this" and now im a big fan of the angst potential

13. Are there any tropes you used to like but don't anymore?

If I'm being honest, not really. Im very picky and only interact with things I like a LOT so if im kind of meh on something, I usually don't engage with it if it's a focus so I don't become more meh on it

34. What aspects of your writing are drawn from your real life?

If a character stims in a way that isn't explicitly stated in canon, its more than likely it's one of my own stims. Very rarely, I give characters stims that differ from my own, i can think of like. One example from a fic I've published and another one from a class I took for short story writing last year

45. What's something you've improved on since you started writing fic?

Im gonna do two. Firstly, i think I'v egoten better at inserting action between dialogue without it being too clunky anymore, even though I still worry about that a lot. Secondly, devsloping story beats BEFORE I write. I used to struggle so much more with writing because I wouldnt plan most of it out, but I go into a LOT of detail now in my drafts and I'm even willing to go out of my way to write scenes from different parts of a story and connect them later on

50. Answer any question. I'll answer the one that asks what my favorite prompt I've written for was. My favorite was for a Convin DBH secret santa I did one year. The prompt I chose (out of two or three others I cant remmeber rn) was time travel which was so fun :¬> i love thinking out of the box with prompts/tropes because it means I have more fun coming up with goofy ideas and making them serious. Time travel fix-it fic where both halves of the ship are sent/send themselves back in time to fix the past, accidentally get in each others'ways, then reveal their situations to each other only to do a surprise pikachu face? Ugh I love that story so much!

sonelise for the ship bingo?

I had a feeling this one would come up.

HOT TAKE TIME.

...it's alright, in vein of Jessica/Roger Rabbit cartoon anthro logic. I mean, Sonic was originally was supposed to have a human girlfriend in character conception but was cut, see here:

To me, it's not really something you're really supposed to think that too deeply into, weird? Sure, but again cartoon logic applied to a talking blue hedgehog that is was stated to still be 15 even after all these chunks of games and Forces had a six month timeskip yet he was still 15 until ages were only recently entirely scrapped. So it's good to say not looking into that aspect much further than that. I mean, sure I heavily moreso enjoy ships with Sonic being with other "mobian" (if you still want to call them that) cast mates but like I wouldn't really go all throwing the fandom bible at you if the ship includes a human character that's at least in the same age range as the mobian one (another good example being Rouge/Topaz)

Now, with all that said and applying to Sonic and Elise let me break down why the ship does work more than on just base level and one issue I that I do have with it.

Sonic 06 was a very ambitious game, it failed a lot of shit but one thing I'll always give it credit for is that it tried even if it made the plot an absolute fucking mess. However, Sonic and Elise's story though wasn't really... executed the best. They obviously wanted to do so much with it and in the scenes with them you can see them trying to - to very cringe success - but again you can see the potential and what they were trying to go for.

Sonic is a free spirit, runs around doing as he pleases and fights for what he thinks is right.

Elise is insecure, sheltered, carrying so much on her shoulders and having to emotionally repress fucking everything because if she even cries she'll bring hell upon the world. Just imagine how much that would fuck with you, and she had to this for YEARS.

But then the two meet, Elise gets kidnapped like 18 times, Sonic has to save her in those fucking awfully carry missions and the cycle repeats over and over. But it's during these the two get to talk, learn about one another, talk to each other where Sonic starts encouraging her more to be herself, that emotions are okay - having no idea about the curse - and peps her up, becomes like her personal hype man or something. And it's nice, really nice. You see there's some kind of dynamic there that could've been built more upon if the game didn't fucking repeat the same shit over and over, just like with a lot if things with 06 and it hurts we'll never get that.

Now I did mention there was something about the ship I didn't like, and I guess it's not really got to do with the ship but the moment.

You know the one.

The kiss itself wasn't the problem. When it happened was.

Sonic was a fucking corpse, a non consenting, cold, pre rigor mortis starting to kick in at moment. DEAD. And I know a lot of people bring up comparing it to Snow White but like... that shit isn't okay either? I've never been okay with Snow White. Kissing fucking corpses? "But Moosh! The cartoon logic you mentioned!" I wouldn't exactly fucking compare the goofy ha-ha blue rat dating Marylin Monroe parody to nerco shit in a moment the game WANTS me to take seriously but whatever that's just me.

But even with all that aside, it just... take away any impact? Don't you think the moment could've been 100x more successfully serious if instead of a kiss bringing him back to life it was Elise's magic tears instead? The exact thing she's been forced to repress for so long? THAT would make more sense and wrap around the narrative more nicely.

And hey! You don't have to get rid of the kiss entirely! How about instead right before Elise is about to blow out the flame and reset everything they kiss right before that moment instead? Right before they completely erase ever even meeting each other? Wouldn't that invoke more feels? Sure people will still cringe at furry nonsense but like, narratively? I think it would've been a much better way of approaching it without completely ignoring that it happens entirely.

I need a more of a "It's complicated." Square on this, it's not that I'm complicated there's just too many moving parts that goes along with it.

#HARPERSMOVIECOLLECTION

2023

I re-watched The Cable Guy (1996)

A Ben Stiller directed dark comedy that was ahead of it's time.

A regular guy going through relationship struggles ends up making friends with his cable guy, who turns out to be an obsessive stalker.

If you've seen the recent Sonic the Hedgehog movies, you know that Jim Carrey is able to carry a movie. While he has several stinkers in his past, he always manages to bring his A-game.

When The Cable Guy came out in 1996, it wasn't a success. Critics and audiences didn't like it's darker tones and characters, expecting a simple goofy Carrey comedy.

The mid nineties had a few darker comedies. None of them all that great. Eight Heads in a Duffle Bag and Very Bad Things come to mind. The Cable Guy got lumped in with these rather lame and mean spirited movies, and at the time it seemed nobody wanted darkness with their comedy. But, these days, when not only dark comedy, but Horror Comedy is much more accepted, the Cable Guy should be recognized for it's contribution to these genres.

The film is essentially a horror comedy. It's a movie about an abused and deranged stalker and it doesn't shy away from heavy hints of the deep sadness of both it's main antagonist and the world he inhabits. You learn Carrey's Lisp is from being kicked in the face as a child and needing corrective surgery. His childhood of being ignored and plopped down in front of the T.V. has lead him to an inability to socialize properly. He's lonely and mentally unstable. Seemingly capable of vicious acts.

Stiller directs the film with a gloomier, grayer color scheme than most 1990's comedies. His lead protagonist, played by Matthew Broderick isn't exactly the nicest of guys. The background runner is about a man who's on trial for murdering his twin brother (a play on the Mendez brother's trial.) All of these dark things are placed into a bag with Carrey's broken and dangerous character and shaken up to be a comedy. What's astonishing is it works.

Jim Carrey is fantastic. He's not only funny, he's creepy and strange and at moments he evokes real dramatic emotion, creating a rounded and original character. Broderick does his best straight man routine by bouncing off Carrey's energy and whatever Mistakes Stiller makes as a young director are easily forgiven when viewing the total package.

There are mistakes made. It can feel a bit bland when Carrey isn't on screen. Also, Owen Wilson can't sell the scene in which he's getting beat up and, like Jack Black, is miscast.

But, the film successfully blends it' genres and delivers something very funny that isn't just surface level. In fact, Watching The Cable Guy now feels like it predicted the future. Carrey's "Information Super Highway" speech all came true and we're living it now. Back in 1996 we were obsessed with celebrity murder trials and daytime talk shows while slowly starting to connect globally. Real life was becoming intertwined with entertainment. Now, real life is entertainment. Politics is a TV show, everyone has a blog, a channel, a tik tok, a Facebook page. We publicly shame and criticize and recruit and argue and agree and fight and love and hate on a massive scale and it's all recorded so we can watch it back like a movie. Endless connection to every story, problem, scandal and bit of manufactured outrage.

While the movie's message isn't all that subtle and it isn't the most intelligent satire ever put to screen, it made a point that's still worth thinking about. I'm not saying we need to kill the great babysitter that is human disconnection and entertainment, but maybe we should take a break every so often.

The Cable Guy is a solidly funny movie that made me laugh throughout. It's weird, creepy, funny, dark and I really enjoyed it this time through.

Tell me about your yakuza blorbos

OH GOD this is gonna take a while so sorry if this is late (I'm gonna be on mobile tackling this throughout the day)

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Right now I think it's Ichiban..... Before playing LAD I would have 100% said Majima BC I mean he isn't the fan favourite for no reason but Ichibans character is so strongly written that in just 1 game he's won me over. I care him

However I can assign a blorbo to each game for extra opportunity for me to rant like a madman (I will put it under a read more at the end to save this posts length)

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Ok for a series about grouchy old men this is the funniest question. I think haruka is the only choice here, mainly in 1/2

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

SHINADA. For a guy that was a random protag shoved in at the end of the longest fucking game known to man he really grew on me. I still don't understand baseball though. He's just silly goofy and I hope he's having a good time with his new friends

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

Nishida 100%. I would say Date here but I think he's had too much screen time to class as a background character. When nishida left a note or was even mentioned in dead souls I was so eager to read it. A note. He wasn't even in the game. Yuya could also work here but again hes had some decent screentime.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

This is tricky.... I would not ascribe this character all the traits described in this heading but Majima. From Yakuza 5 in particular he's at his peak poor meow meow in 5 he needs to get in the pet carrier.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Akiyama. Look at his smug little face. Adachi can also fit into here because he's an asshole too but akiyama easily tops this one.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

I fucking forgot his name the scary red suit bitch from 0.. NISHITANI IT TOOK ME LIKE 3 HOURS TO REMEMBER HIS NAME. solely because he fucking terrifies me he is the scariest Yakuza character hands down. also on the topic of 0 i hope Sagawa is in superhell

hiiiii i finally got the keep reading working so a full 12 hours after starting this draft i can finish it ^_^ My blorbo of each respective yakuza game is as follows:

Y0: Majima bc of course. Majima in 0 got me hooked on yakuza as a series and picking up 0 in a winter sale back in 2020 was the best oblivious decision i ever made. I just really like serious Majima and whenever that part of his personality shines through in the later games its just ough ough.

Y1: Haruka #girlboss. she does not behave like a realistic 7 year old but honestly shes just so no-nonsense in this game she is the lead we deserved. Its also really interesting seeing how yakuza 1 doesnt follow Kiryus story as much as it does Harukas, like shes the one looking for Yumi and she kicks off the plot.

Y2: KOYUKI....... i fucking loved the cabaret grand prix in kiwami 2 and both Yuki/Koyuki were hilarious to watch. That minigame could have honestly been a standalone game and i’d buy it the storyline kept me hooked the entire time mainly bc Koyuki was so fun to be around. Honorable mention to Majima here because his scenes in kiwami 2 are the funniest hes ever been in this series.

Y3: Honestly all the fucking kids in this game could count as a collective blorbo but if i had to choose on specifically it’d be Taichi. He had such a fuckin personality and always stood out from the other kids you go you funky little wrestling fan.

Y4: Now going into this game i was thinking Akiyama was the smug little bastard id obsess over but hes too much of a dickhead in this game. My actual blorbo of Y4 is Saejima. The way they wrote his character is fucking amazing i still love rewatching that scene in the colluseum from him and the reunion with Sasai afterwards. Hes a gruff dude in touch with his emotions and thats the shit i like to see. We dont talk bout that one scene with Haruka though. Erased.

Y5: Now heres where Akiyama really became one of my big faves. Seeing him interact with Haruka and just go around trying to solve crimes was really nice to see. Honestly any time you want me to like a character just have them interact postively with Haruka its foolproof. Akiyama really is a fucking mess but hes so fun to watch ingame as well as his fighting style being by far one of my favourites in this series.

Y6: Ironic that the main character hasnt even gotten a blorbo mention until now. Yakuza 6 really fucking made me appreciate Kiryu, this dense man that we’ve watched go through 30 years of devastating life events and trauma. Not even going to mention the final few scenes of this game i have so much respect for him and im going to move on before i become a sad puddle on the floor for the next 3 hours.

Y7: Well its my current main blorbo. Ichiban. The way they made this man so fucking cheesy but so genuine is baffling. Hes the most endearing character ive encountered in the entire series and its amazing how fuckin quick i was to like him. We’ve had Kiryu as a protag for so fucking long Ichi had some massive shoes to fill but the game handles it so well and ough ough. He needs everyone to be nice to him RIGHT THIS SECOND.

#wormbles #ask #crimpeeeko #i am so sorry this is so fucking long but once i started typing i just didnt stop huh.#anyway thank u for asking this sm i have a free opportunity to rant about fictional men on main

Saw A.C.E in Chicago and Atlanta this week and had meet and greet packages for both stops (no I couldn't afford it, yes my bank account overdrafted whoops).

It was ammazingggg. LONG STORY AHEAD.

The question I asked was answered by Chan. Bless his heart he struggled so much to say my name and I was in the second row on the furthest side from him. I stood up and waved so he could see me. They asked how to pronounce my name and BK actually said it perfectly, I was so impressed!

The question that was chosen was "What hobby do you want to try that you haven't tried before". He said Cooking, cause he isn't good at it and Donghun won't eat his food.

When the item signing started, BK would interact with us a lot and the girls in front of us took the liberty of teaching him the phrase "Let's get this bread." His face when they explained that bread = money was priceless. Experiencing that magical moment will live with me forever since he has been saying it nonstop since then.

So since PLT I've decided my "thing" for each autograph I can get is making my dumb pun fans. Eventually I'll just have a wall of these dang things and I'm excited about it. I made one for each my friend and me. Here's mine.

The other thing I prepared for them I kept super secret because I very much wanted to see their reaction to it. I didn't post it publicly anywhere. In line with Choice teasingly referring to Junhee as a lizard much to the delight of the fandom and the rest of A.C.E while hysterically bugging Jun, I couldn't resist... I'd always wanted to give away cute things at concerts but since I'm also an asshole I used my exceptionally mediocre photoshop skills to make

These beauties.

I originally only had 150 to hand out and I was actually worried I wouldn't be able to get rid of them all. I thought people might think they're dumb and not want any. Then due to a print shop mistake I ended up with 650. Whoops.

Before the meet and greet they tell us explicitly we are not allowed to give them anything and if they catch us trying to sneak them something they'll escort us out. My plan to see their reaction was almost destroyed! But I was very graciously given permission to -show- them the card, not give it to them (don't worry. They each got two in their gift boxes).

A.C.E tends to always stand/sit in the same order, so just as I expected, Chan was up first. He understood the pun of my fan! He thought it was really cute and gave such a big reaction I was pleased. Then I showed him the card and it was even bigger. I told him it was Junhee and he full on kicked out a leg and hit the table as he laughed which made me happy. He shook my hand.

Up next was Donghun who was the most quiet. I showed him the card after he signed my fan and he asked who it was. I told him it was Jun and he laughed and probably judged me a lot but then he gave me a high five and interlaced our fingers for a moment so I didn't feel completely embarrassed. The person behind me was so excited they moved onto Donghun before Jun was ready for me so I was waiting in limbo for a few seconds.

Leader Jun in the middle, the reaction I wanted most. He signed my fan and then I put the card down for him to see. He asked who it was, he seemed surprised. I told him it was him and he laughed and tried to deny it. He asked what kind of lizard it was, I told him it was a giant day gecko because I think they're the cutest. I told him I made sure to give them some in their gift box, and that we would see him again in Atlanta. He shook my hand and then the person behind me got excited again lol.

Byeongkwan was next! This boy is an absolute doll okay? The first thing he said to me is that he liked my lipstick (it was green). He signed my fan, then I showed him the card and he was beyond stoked. He laughed so loud and even held it up to Jun pointing it out to everyone. I promised him he got two in his gift box. He asked if I made one of each member and I told him no, but promised him I would next year (me and my big mouth). He held my hand and interlaced fingers and was just so sweet until the person behind me encouraged me on again.

WOW. OKAY. So Sehyoon is my bias af I was VISIBLY SHAKING at this point and as I set my fan down it so obnoxiously tapped the table several times. He tapped his lips and pointed at mine and said "pretty". I thanked him and said it was green for "cactus". I'm not sure if he understood cause he just repeated "cactus" and cocked his head slightly before signing my fan. Then I showed him the card. He asked who it was and I said Jun. He laughed a little and then I told him he was my favorite. He had the quietest lil thank you, then took my hand in both his soft tiny bby hands and I think my brain melted cause I couldnt make eye contact anymore it was too much. Just thinking about it is making my heart hurt. (To be clear, I am in no way special, he held everyone's hand the same way).

After that, we did the pictures! I very shyly wanted to stand between BK and Wow. I didn't do anything special this time around cause the pose I wanted was done by two other people so I just asked for cute cheek pokies. They were having so much fun with people so that inspired my next photo request. As I was walking away from the photo BK told me again that he really liked my lipstick and I was over the moon.

I brought about half the cards with me to hand out hoping I wouldn't have extras and people LOVED THEM? I ran out and felt bad that I didn't bring more!

The concert was AWESOME!! They're so interactive with fans I had several moments with EACH of them, but my favorite is when Wow kicked up a heart and he saw me catch it all goofy instead of letting him hit the woah and he laughed and mimicked me. He also handed me two lollipops (I gave one to my friend) but I'm never gonna eat it.

For the hi touch Chan handed us our photo cards, and hi fived us. They were oddly out of order (chan, Donghun, BK, Wow, Jun). I managed to tell him and Donghun they did amazing, then BK told me AGAIN he still loved my lips. I was so excited I told him "it'll be BLUE next time" and he said "oh!" BUT BY DOING THAT MY DUMBASS MISSED THE CHANCE TO LOOK INTO WOW'S AND JUN'S EYES UGH I WAS SO UPSET AT MYSELF also I got yelled at by security (rightly so).

Next is Atlanta!

I started handing out cards earlier and got worried again cause there were quite a few people that weren't interested at all. Fortunately by the end of the show there were so many people wanting them I offered to do a reprint if necessary. Some people even said they were going through the hi touch holding it up which I LOVED.

Anyway, this time during the Meet and Greet I was in the front row directly in front Byeongkwan and Wow. I WAS NOT OKAY. I kept making eye contact and getting so shy ugh. Byeongkwan recognized me and tapped his lips and winked when he saw me (I was wearing blue lipstick this time). BK got my question (the interpreter said my name perfectly without me needing to tell her, I was so impressed!) I asked what concept they wanted to try that they hadn't tried yet. He said they had already done everything and I cocked my head giving him a disbelieving look. He then admitted that they hadn't done the cutesy boy concept and I lost it- I cant imagine them trying to pull that off.

For future Choice in my position- these boys have ears like BATS okay. There was one time Jun said something like "it's his choice." And I quietly said to the person next to me "no we're choice." And he looked at me and said "You're right! You're all choice!" I was shook.

Wow got asked what his favorite dessert to eat is and he said chocolate anything, then listed things "Chocolate cake. Chocolate ice cream. Chocolate rice." At this point everyone exclaims and he gets his silly lil smile and says "Chocolate fish." And everyone loses it. It was so funny and cute.

Later Jun was asked if he preferred pancakes or waffles and it was a really hard question for him. He said he had been eating more pancakes since coming to the US but he liked both a lot. He just didn't like Chocolate pancakes and I said "cause Wow eats them all?" And wow just very dreamily says "Choco pancakes...." I about died.

BK was asked if he wanted to go to the aquarium and he said he really hoped to. He asked if there were beluga and everyone said yes but I said "But they have WHALE SHARKS!" which imo is the coolest thing about the Georgia aquarium. None of them seemed to know exactly what I meant but they were excited by the concept of the words "whale" and "shark" together. (Spoiler alert: The next day they totally went and got pics with the whale shark).

Finally BK asked where people recommended they eat. Someone suggested sushi at first. I thought it was funny to recommend sushi when visiting the US. BK seemed of the same mindset so chicken and waffles came up and Jun loudly said WAFFLES! To which, Wow said in his same dreamy tone "chocolate waffles" and I looked at him and said "chocolate chicken?" embarrassing the HELL out of myself cause everyone was super grossed out by it and making a scene. I hid but my friend said Wow thought it was funny. I think she was trying to make me feel better.

So the item signing time comes up. My DUMB ASS forgot my album at home so the day before I had gone on a panicked shopping spree and decided on a pot for my cactus.

Chan was up first as usual. He recognized me and asked if I was in Chicago and I said yes! He asked what the pot was and I told him it was for my cactus plant. He was so adorable, while he was signing it he said quietly "grow well." So now it has to. This time he did not do a high five with me.

Next was Donghun. He looked so confused at my pot. I told him it was for my cactus and he just kinda nodded. It was very quiet because I had tried to learn a short phrase for him in korean but I got too nervous and I couldn't say it. I just thanked him. I'll have to keep practicing.

Jun was next and also asked me if I had been in Chicago and thanked me for coming again. I told him it was my last stop but I knew they would keep doing amazing. He asked about the pot and said it was so cute and signed super big. He shook my hand.

BK was next and he complimented my lips again. I asked him if he liked the green or blue better and he said both were good. He asked about the pot and signed it for me, he said it was cute and he liked it. He high fived me when it was time to move on.

WOW. AGAIN. okay so he asked about the pot and I said it was for my cactus and he mimed planting a cactus while looking up at me and I nodded while melting cause he is SO GODDAMN CUTE OKAY. Then while he was signing it I worked up my courage cause I had tried to learn a phrase for him as well BUT I MESSED UP I MESSED UP SO BAD IT WAS BAD OKAY. He was so confused and thank GOD the interpreter was right there and she asked "what are you trying to say" and she helped me say it. I was SO EMBARRASSED I had practiced so much and was saying it SO WELL up until that moment. Once I managed he smiled and said I did good then took my hand and said something which the interpreter translated for me and I just grabbed my heart with my free hand and then had to just cover my face I couldnt handle it. Walking away was hard but staying was harder.

Of course that just put me back in my seat directly in front of him.

Dont judge me, but I was trying to say, "You're so awesome it makes my heart hurt." And his response was "Then I'll prescribe you some medicine" and I KNOW its cheesy and overdone but I wanted that moment once for me so I took my chance. Anyway I looked like a damn fool but it was over.

The last dumb thing I did as the signing went on cause we kept making random eye contact and I got self conscious of always looking away. One of the times Wow and I met eyes I winked and shot finger guns and his eyebrows raised ever so slightly and I wanted to sink into the floor and die so I hid my face again. He looked so surprised like what WAS I THINKING WHY DID I DO THAT AAAAAAAA.

Anyway.

Here's my cute cheap pot!

Next was pictures. This time I had a plan. I asked them to pose ugly with me. They were surprised and asked for clarification twice, BK even asked me in english and I said "yes, ugly faces. If you can! If it's even possible." I wonder if it's the first time theyve ever been requested to do that. Anyway that's gonna be my thing too with the punny fan from now on. They did their best and it's absolutely adorable. Afterward BK walked up to me and wanted to see the pictures I took so I showed him. After he walked away it occured to me how fun and casual that was, that he just came over to look at pics together. I love this boy so much damb.

The atlanta show was amazing but the stage was so high up and far away there was no direct interaction possible. They made up for it with even more interaction! BK and Donghun each danced with me. I made a heart with my friend and Chan winked and laughed cause it looked like she begrudgingly made the heart with me when in reality she just couldnt hear me and couldnt tell what I was asking. Wow played a heart escalating game with me and he won so I made a dumb cute face and he laughed.

At hi touch I was determined not to miss Wow again. The order was the same except Donghun and Chan switched. I told them they did really amazing, a great show! Then BK said "Best lips!" To me and I got so excited but still didnt want to miss Wow, I loudly repeated "Best Lips!" While making eye contact and high fiving this poor man so hard, then for Jun I said "Don't forget!" And he was just so unprepared for me because I was unprepared for me but I WAS SO HYPED UP I LOST MY LAST BRAINCELL ITS STILL IN ATLANTA GUYS ITS GONE FOREVER.

So anyway that was a lot of unnecessary details about my specific adventures with A.C.E and I loved them so much and maybe one person will read this and smile but mostly I just want to try and remember as much detail as possible. I'll add things as I remember if I forgot something. Anyway dont be like me hahahaHAHAHA.

Also highkey if BK or one of the boys ends up with a bold lipstick color for a comeback or promotions in the next year or so I'm taking full credit.
