Hoi! First of all I saw all your HxH stuff and I loved it! I was wondering if I can request a Killua x Reader x Gon headcanons where the reader is like Anya Forger from Spy x Family, and also makes the same faces he does? You don't have to write about it if you don't want to, thanks ❤️
Killua and Gon being friends with a reader who is like Anya (Spyxfamily)
Tumblr media
Genre: fluff
Pairing: Platonic! Killua x reader x Gon
Warning(s): -
Ahoi, anon! I'm glad you like my work, and thank you for the request! I wasn't sure if you had meant being like Anya only personality wise or everything wise so I just made it everything wise, I hope that doesn't bother you!
Tumblr media
You're an interesting one, indeed.
When the three of you first met, Killua almost immediately noticed how you knew everything that was about to come out of his mouth, and it didn't take him long before he found out about your telepathic abilities.
As for Gon... Well, let's just say he's not the brightest when it comes to figuring things out.
"Wow, (Y/n)! It's like you can read my mind!" -Gon
"ohhhh you think so...? *Nervous laughter*" -You
You're always the one to warn them if something is about to go wrong or somebody is trailing after the three of you.
You're not smart, not Gon level smart, but still not smart, which annoys Killua but he puts up with it either way 'cause you're "a useful asset" (ulternative meaning: his friend)
You can still fend for yourself! Just not in the smartest of ways.
Sometimes (Often times) you jump into dangerous situations because of your high moral compass, despite the fact you are completely powerless and standing before a whole gang of men with guns loaded in either hand. Gon takes your action as a free encouragement ticket to do the same, now the two of you (dumbasses) are trying to talk murderers out of robbing a bank,
Killua, being the sane one, is always the one to grab the two of you and throw you over his shoulder or under his arm and bolt away, while simultaneously screaming every insult he could think of,
Remember that scene where Killua was running away from Palm with Gon tucked under his arm? Yeah, something like that but with you added to the equation, and it happens like once each month,
Killua is like a sleep deprived parent who has two kids who constantly need to be strapped to leashes.
Gon and Killua shuffle away from you when you make that unique face of yours, it looks like you're smiling but at the same time planning a murder, it freaks them out...!
You do that face whenever someone's getting on your nerve and you don't want to get heated or show your frustration.
It annoys Killua how you get excited over things that are... Not supposed to be exciting, for instance, you're about to face off an extremely strong and ruthless nen user, but for some odd reason, you're smiling like an idoit, your body shaking with excitement. That also goes for the time the three of you were following some members of the phantom troupe, and you were all giddy and excited. And killua just stares at you like... '??????'. Gon is as confused as Killua, but less judgemental, he just accepts it. 'to each their own'
Since they know you get overwhelmed in crowded areas or in areas with lots of conflict, they try their best to avoid places with large crowds for your sake.
Killua and gon always tell you things telepathically, and if they're mad at eachother and are giving ecahother the silent treatment, you're going to be the one to have to listen to them as they angrily rant about the other in their heads. You have to either wait until they forgive eachother (which usually doesn't take long) or help them make amends to get a break from their endless complaining.

Yo, could be just wrong but I'm noticing a trend where people who ship Jaune and Neo also enjoy TCOAAL, so was wondering if you could write a scenario where Neo asks Jaune to cosplay as Andrew and she shows up as Lesley
Tumblr media
NEO AND JAUNE AND: THE VALE COSPLAY CONTEST!
-I hope I did right for you, anon-
-
Jaune: I'm sorry you want to wuht?
Neo looked at Jaune with a mischevious glow in her mismatched eyes.
Neo: I want to go to the vale convention!
Jaune: You? A convention? Aren't you sure that's a little too...uhm...a..
Neo: ?
Jaune: Out of character? yeah, that's it.
Neo: perhaps, but really, I want to enter the cosplay contest!
Jaune: Cosplay contest?
Neo: Yes, namely the couples cosplay contest! 😁
Jaune: That is surprisingly sweet of yo-waaaaait isn't Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang entering In that contest?...
Neo: Oh really, I had no idea?
Jaune: ....
Neo: ...
Jaune: 🤔
Neo: Okay, okay! I want to CRUSH them! Pleaaaaase! 🫶
Jaune: *sigh* My love for you is a curse sometimes.
Neo: 😃
Jaune: Do you even know what those four are going to cosplay as?
Neo: Our intelligence (Roman) indicates that Yang and Blake are going dressed up as Yor and Twilight while using Zwei as Anya.
Jaune: Oof, that will be tough but not impossible. What about Ruby and Weiss?
Neo: It is with good intelligence that Ruby and Weiss are going as Gray and Juvia.
Jaune: Wow, power play right there, I'm sure that will resonate with the spectators.
Neo: Not to fear my dumb dumb, for I already found our winning pair.
Jaune: Oh? You seemed to have put some thought into this huh?
Neo: I want that trophy, and if I have it and they don't, it will destroy them. 😈
Jaune: ...
Neo: Sorry, sorry, as for who we are going to cosplay as and don't worry, I know the PERFECT pair, it's two so perfect we have an infinite chance of victory and seeing as how we are VERY good actors I know we can pull this off.
Jaune: How do you know it will be perfect?
Neo, a crazed smirk: I'll have you know my dear Jaune I browsed Schneeter(X) AND if I learned anything, it's that con-goers are all wholesome degenerates!
Suddenly, Neo mismatched eyes both became pink as her hair was now black and tied into a ponytail. She strutted up to him.
Neo: This is going to be so much fun, Andyyyy~
Jaune could only gulp at the smile on her face.
-
*Vale Convention Center later that day*
Yang, dressed as Twilight with Zwie on her shoulders.
Yang: Give it up, Weiss. Blake and I are going to win this contest!
Weiss dressed as Juvia: Please, Ruby and I will be taking home the trophy we are the best pair after all!
Blake and Ruby, in their respective costumes, just smiled at their girlfriends' competitive spirits.
Host: Hold up ladies, before we can all vote on who is best cosplay couple, we have a late entry!
RWBY: Who?
Host: Introducing (looks at card)...Jaune Arc and Trivia Vanille!
Ruby + Weiss: Jaune!?
Yang: Trivia?
Blake just glared at Zwei, the latter looking pleased as punch.
From behind the curtains stepped out Jaune. His hair for one was now a bit longer a black. He was wearing a black wool sweater and cut up blue jeans and some conventional grey sneakers. He had a bored look on his face. Green eyes conveying no emotion to them, also his face had some splatter of red adorning his left cheek, and he held a cigarette in his right hand and in his left was a large cleaver.
Blake and Ruby go wide-eyed.
Blake: Ruby... you and I are both ruined enough by the internet to know who that is!
Ruby: I know, I can't believe it, but if Jaune's Andrew, then that means...
Ja(Andrew)?: Hey Ashley....hurry it up. This was your idea, after all.
???: Oh fuck off Andrew, you made me carry the pot!
From behind the curtain out stepped Neo(Trivia), now with the same black hair still tied up, her eyes both still a mischevious pink tinge of red splattered on her face as well. She wore a black top and baige shorts along with some brown boots, and on her neck was her black choker. She was carrying a pot that said 'meat stew'. Setting said pot down, 'Ashley' jumped into 'Andrews' awaiting arms before taking 'Andrew's' face into her hands and playfully biting his red splattered cheek before turning to the rest of the crowd and Team RWBY and giving them all the finger.
The crowd roared in celebration.
Host: ...wow, I guess we have our winners, then Jaune and Trivia!
Weiss: i can't believe we all lost
Yang: me neither...
Weiss: It's impossible! We all went out as the most wholesome pair, but those two went out, and everyone just freaked out at who they were dressed as.
Blake: Yeah, about that... they went out as Andrew and Ashley Graves.
Weiss: What are they from?
Ruby: Oh, a small little horror game.
Weiss: I lost to characters from a small game.
Blake: Oh, Weiss, you uncultured fool if only you knew the power those two had...
Weiss: What are you talking about? It's just a married pair.
Blake chuckled.
Weiss: What?
Ruby: Andrew and Ashley aren't a married couple (yet) they are siblings.
Weiss: Siblings? But the biting on the face...th-the hug!
Ruby: Incest is wincest. Don't ask me how. That is just how things are.
Weiss: in-in-in waaaht!?
Yang: Ooooh, Jaune and Neo did those two, huh...damn Blake, next year you and me are going as Len and Ren Kagamine to even the playing field.
Blake just had a nose bleed.
Weiss: Oh my God!
Ruby: Don't worry Weissy, we can go as Ben and Gwen from Ben 10.
Blake just passed out from the double nose bleed.
Weiss: I refuse to participate in your acts of DEPRAVITY!
-
Back home with Jaune and Neo.
Jaune: Satisfied?
Neo, now staring delightfully at the trophy look at Jaune with a smile.
Neo: Very.
Jaune: Great, well I'm going to go get some sleep. I'm beat.
Jaune walks up and gives Neo a kiss on the side of the head.
Jaune: Don't stay up too late admiring your glory.
Jaune then proceeded to head to bed, unaware of Neo's smirk as her mismatched eyes changed to full pink.
Jaune stepped out of the bathroom after cleaning up, sighing with a smile. He felt content knowing that Neo had a good time and he won a trophy with her.
???: Ooooh Jauney~
Jaune stopped in his tracks as their on the bed was Neo, whose body was covered. her hair, a mixture of black and pink as her choker was all that was visible to his eye as she looked at him with hungry eyes.
Jaune just smirked as he walked up to his Neo and cupped his finger around that choker.
I guess sleep wasn't coming tonight after all.

God, I just want the stupid Riley romance to be over, it is so lame and blah and Riley as a character is as interesting as a slice of cold toast. Like "Oh no, Riley might die!" Well good riddance if he does! (sorry Riley fans)
Definitely an older series because Buffy can make out and have sex with men on the screen but Willow can only hold a bit of her girlfriend's hand because "eeew, sexual minorities!! :((("
I still don't really mind about Anya but she's starting to grow on me by the 5th season.
Wow, Giles's actor can really sing!
I had a hunch that Spike would be the one going "Oh no, I have feelings for Buffy" (which literally happened) but I didn't see it coming in the way it did; him seething with revenge, planning to kill Buffy and bathe in her blood, just to then have a smexy dream of Buffy right after. LOL.
Spike loitering around Buffy's house to get to see her, then sees her and proceeds saying stuff like "Well, I never actually liked you. And your hair is stupid!" before running away like a 5-year-old is an interesting counterpart for the past 4 seasons, where he's always been that Casanova-Playboy-Lover with a big ego and confidence.
I have to remember that sometimes open questions and plot points are OK to solve in a short time when I write my own stuff. If it works in Buffy, it should work for me, too.

First line || Last line
Rules: go to your last 5 fics and share the first and last line with no context.
I was tagged by @nire-the-mithridatist and @puolain . What an honor 🥰🥰🥰
Lessee......
My latest fic hasn't had any last line yet, so I'll skip that 🤣🤣
All are TwiYor from Spy x Family fics.
Grilled Bear: Roland keeps running || And he answers happily, "It tastes absolutely amazing!"
Little Things about you: Twilight has been a spy for a decade. || Contented with his plan, the man then lazily stretches and wraps his arms around his family, and continues his morning nap.
Truth in a Glass of Wine: “Good morning, Twilight. Or should I say good evening?” || Whether he got so flustered and angry at himself because he let himself easily roasted by Frankie and Anya, or because he just realized that he missed a perfect moment to kiss Yor, the man preferred to not think about that for now.
Daily Shenanigans of 128 Park Avenue's Resident: It was dark and gloomy. || And even though there was a tiny bit of fear in his heart regarding the uncertainty of the future, with all of them on his side, Loid knew he could handle it.
How to Stop a Rampaging Monster: Yor was rearranging her belongings in order to go home that afternoon. || Including a family of three who were happily eating their ice cream and walking through the park.
Wow, I love to write a super long sentences aren't I 🤣🤣
Now, I'd like to tag (that I can remember now) @deonideatta @littlestfallenangel @piracytheorist @nightofnyx8 @lacrow @rachellysebrook @gonnahypatia @assassinnumber9
And of course anyone else who want to play this game 🥰🥰

Wow, wtf, I hate having to take hiatus, but here we are again. My mental health has been kinda crap lately, but I'm feeling better and I'm back to writing. Sorry for the lack of Twiyor in this chapter, I promise the next one will satisfy your needs haha.

Here’s a random question for you on this Monday afternoon - which character(s) do you think can sing really well? Whether through natural talent or tons of practice? 🤔
Hope you’re having a good beginning of the week! 😊❤️
Hehe, yes! A question for Monday afternoon- totally didn't forget to answer this until Saturday, nope! Not at all...👀🤣
Nah but seriously- I've gotcha friend! :D This is a fabulous question AHH!
Right off the bat- RIGHT OFF THE BAT: Chuuya. He's got an amazing voice and a wide range of musical taste, so if you're lucky and catch him in the act, you'll be treated to a mini performance! Dazai will sometimes sit by and listen in, just out of sight so Chuuya doesn't stop. He might not know many of the songs he's singing, but my god does he love it!
Also: Zenitsu! I've said this before, but the electric blonde has a really good singing voice! Just like his skills with the Shamisen and Koto- his hearing allows him to make sure he's pitch perfect. Also; he's just got a really nice voice, you know? When he's not screaming and freaking out; it's incredibly soothing to hear!
Joe from Sk8? He loves to sing while cooking! He mainly sings in Italian for the vibes (and to wow the pants off the kids- they didn't know he could sing- let alone in a different language!). He also knows those incredibly romantic love songs he saves especially for Cherry when they're alone; it's one of the few things that'll fluster him and Joe is living for it!
Gordon can sing opera. No I will not elaborate.
...okay fine akljrekarjkejkrj I think he mainly picked it up cause he tends to mumble so much? Opera requires you to really bring it, so he figured if he learned to do so, he'd have an easier time speaking a bit louder. The results?...He still mumbles TwT' But now there's the added effect of him singing opera while in the bath and everyone assuming the Bull's base is haunted kjarjkekjrakjejk (I love Gordon so much akrjajerje)
Yor is a good singer- she sang lullabies to Yuri all the time when they were kids and things were difficult; and she sings them to Anya whenever she's having a bad dream and needs comfort. Loid sometimes will listen in whenever she sings to Anya cause it reminds him of his mom doing the same thing years ago.
Finally, cause it's me and I wanna yell about Blue Lock- I think Nagi is a surprisingly good singer? He's one of those people who have tons of hidden talents, you know? Maybe one day he hears Chigiri singing something under his breath (credit to you friend for the hc that Chigiri can sing :3) and joins in cause he recognizes the tune- it's likely from an anime they both watched at some point. Now the redhead's all: ??? Cause he didn't know Nagi could sing and Nagi's all "Why'd you stop?" cause he was starting to get into it kjarjkekjrjkaejrk
There's so many more, but I'd end up writing a whole novel of characters I think could sing if I didn't stop here ajejrarjajkrjk
Honorable mentions go to:
Akutagawa (BSD): He plays the piano as well!; Mikasa (AOT): She doesn't sing all that much, but if she did it'd be the prettiest sound ever!; Mitsuya (Tokyo Revengers): The man has pipes! If you catch him in the Home Etc. room after school working on the Toman Jackets, you'll find out he's got one heck of a singing voice!; Finral (Black Clover): Him and Vanessa can sing- sometimes they do little duets!
Thanks for asking!

If you give a man a cardigan...(Part II)
EXT. DAYTIME. FRANKY’S TOBACCO STAND. 
FRANKY: Whoa, Loid, you’re not in a suit this time! Or a trench coat. I never thought I’d see the day when you would step out in public dressed so casually. 
LOID: I assume you’re referring to the cardigan? 
FRANKY: If that’s what you call that baggy, oversized sweater, then...yes.  
LOID: I didn’t expect it, either, but it’s so comfortable that I’ve taken to wearing it everywhere, even work.  
FRANKY: Is that all it takes for you to dress more casually? Something has to be comfortable? 
LOID: Well, that and YOR keeps giving me a certain look every time she sees me in it... 
LOID: It’s also exceptionally cozy. Do you know what it’s made out of? 
FRANKY: Let me guess... 
FRANKY: Husband material? 
LOID: Funny...that’s what Yor said. 
FRANKY: That’s because you left the tag on it like some mindless idiot. Man, you’re really losing your touch, Twi—I mean, Loid. 
LOID: What?! I would never be so heedless as to... 
LOID: *frantically twists himself into a knot, looking for a tag* 
LOID: Have I really lost my touch?! Or have I taken after my handler, leaving the tags on clothing like some kind of indiscreet— 
FRANKY: It’s over here, you dummy. 
FRANKY: *yanks a tiny piece of paper off of LOID’s cardigan* 
FRANKY: *peering closer at the tag* 
FRANKY: Hmm, you know what? Maybe I was wrong. Maybe this isn’t really the tag, after all. 
LOID: *snatches paper from FRANKY’s hand* 
FRANKY: Hey, I was still reading that! 
LOID: *squinting as he reads the tag* 
LOID: Husband material: 30% kindness, 25% respect, 20% supportiveness, 15% attentiveness, 10% cooking skills, 5% waku waku, and...100% oblivious.  
LOID: What the—?! This is handwritten! And suspiciously familiar...Not only that, but whoever wrote this does not understand percentages...Although strangely enough, everything is spelled correctly... 
LOID: *narrows eyes* 
LOID: Wait a minute... 
LOID: *zips away from FRANKY’s tobacco stand and makes a beeline for home, leaving a smoking trail in his wake* 
FRANKY: Okay...it was good to see you, too, buddy. 
FRANKY: So...how long do you think it will take him to realize you’re not at home? 
ANYA: *popping up from behind the tobacco stand* 
ANYA: Knowing Papa...less than 30 sec— 
[From far away, FRANKY and ANYA hear a distressed, frustrated scream of ANYAAAAAA!] 
ANYA: Oh, I under-emulate Papa.  
FRANKY: It’s ‘underestimate’, kid, but I gotta hand it to you, the fact that you were able to sneak that onto your dad’s sweater without being detected? That’s some real stealthy spy work you did there.  
ANYA: So Anya is real spy now?! 
FRANKY: *pats ANYA’s head* 
FRANKY: You’re getting there. You know, you take after your father more than I expected, even if you two aren’t actually related.  
ANYA: You don’t have to be related to turn out like someone, you know, Uncle Scruffy? 
FRANKY: I know, kid. And I see you made good use of that dictionary Loid got for you. From what glimpse I got of the tag, you spelled everything right. 
ANYA: Nah, I was looking through Papa’s files and he had one called ‘Vetting Wows’. It had most of those words in there.  
FRANKY: Guh! That, uh, probably wasn’t for you to see... 
ANYA: *shrugs* 
ANYA: Then maybe he shouldn’t put his files in the square behind the wall behind the cabinet behind the plant where I hide my candy peanut snacks.  
FRANKY: Wha...? They even hide things in the same places?! They really are more alike than I thought... 
ANYA: The funny thing was, he wrote Mama’s name over and over in the file, and he drew all these hearts and smiley faces next to them.  
ANYA: Maybe he and Becky learned the same secret code?! One day, I’ll crack it and I can write super-secret spy codes with hearts and smileys! 
ANYA: Anyway, thanks for helping me with the fractions, Scruffy-head. 
FRANKY: Uh, sure thing. You know, it would have added to 100% if you hadn’t slipped in the 5% waku waku in there.  
ANYA: I know, but Papa is very waku waku so I couldn’t leave it out.  
FRANKY: *laughs* 
FRANKY: That’s probably what gave you away.  
FRANKY: That and your handwriting... 
FRANKY: By the way, how did you manage to tack the tag onto his sweater in time for Yor to see it? I thought you were going to do it right as he was walking out the door. 
ANYA: I did do it right before he walked out the door. 
FRANKY: Does that mean she said ‘husband material’ before the tag was even on there?!  
ANYA: I guess so, but Mama thought Papa was husband material from their very first date. That’s why she asked Papa to marry her. 
FRANKY: Wait a minute, you’re telling me that your mother, the one who’s so nervous she has a hard time even touching your father...was the one who proposed to him?  
ANYA: Yeah. Why? Was she supposed to wait until the second date or something?  
FRANKY: There’s so much about these people I don’t understand! 
YOR: *rushing to the tobacco stand* 
YOR: Franky! Thank you so much for watching Anya. I completely forgot that I needed to pick something up from the drugstore. 
YOR: I have a rush job tomorrow night so it’s actually more poison for my weapons but...I couldn’t really take Anya along to buy that... 
ANYA: *aghast*
ANYA: So that’s why I couldn’t come with her... 
YOR: I’m all done now so we can go home, Miss Anya. Here’s some money for your trouble, Franky. 
FRANKY: *holds up his hands and shakes his head* 
FRANKY: This time, the babysitting is on me. Besides, we had a lot of fun... 
FRANKY: *winks at ANYA* 
FRANKY: Didn’t we, Miss Anya? 
ANYA: *nods vigorously* 
ANYA: We sure did! Uncle Scruffy was teaching me fractions! 
YOR: Oh, you were?  
FRANKY: Well, technically percentages, but it’s more or less the same thing. 
YOR: I’m so glad to hear that! If it’s not too much trouble, we’d love to have you continue teaching Anya. You’d be welcome at our house anytime. 
FRANKY: Trust me, it’s my pleasure. And who knows? Maybe I’ll come over sometime this week. Apparently, Loid’s got this new sweater he keeps raving about... 
YOR: Oh, the cardigan? Yes, it does look very good on him. 
FRANKY: *waggles eyebrows* 
FRANKY: Knowing Loid's taste, I bet it’s made out of some...irresistible material, too... 
[FRANKY and ANYA exchange looks.] 
YOR: Huh? 
FRANKY: Nothing, just something I was mulling over. Here, I believe this belongs to you? 
FRANKY: *picks up ANYA and holds her out to YOR* 
ANYA: *squealing with laughter since FRANKY is also tickling her* 
ANYA: Mama! Save me from evil Count Scruffy!  
YOR: *takes ANYA into her arms* 
YOR: I’ll save you, Princess Anya.  
YOR: *bows to FRANKY* 
YOR: Thanks again, Franky. 
[FRANKY waves goodbye to them. YOR and ANYA leave for home.] 
ANYA: Mama? 
YOR: Yes, Miss Anya? 
ANYA: What makes someone a good husband? 
YOR: Oh! Erm... 
YOR: What do I tell her?! I’ve only ever had one husband! And we haven’t even been married that long! I also don't know other married men that well so it’s not like I can compare them!  
YOR: *stumbles for an answer* 
YOR: Well, what DOES make someone a good husband? I’ve never had to think about it before, but since I only have Loid as an example... 
YOR: *flashes back to the Eden Academy interview* 
YOR: A good husband is someone who stands up for you. 
YOR: *flashes back to LOID whispering her that she didn’t have to kiss him in front of YURI* 
YOR: A good husband is someone who respects when you have limits. 
YOR: *flashes back to LOID’s comments about YOR’s “massages” * 
YOR: A good husband is someone who...who accepts you as you are. 
ANYA: Is that why you chose Papa?  
YOR *without thinking* 
YOR: Yes, that is exactly why I chose him.  
YOR: Wait a minute, that IS that why I chose LOID. All this time, I kept telling myself that I chose to marry him so I could keep my real job...but in all that’s happened since, I’d almost forgotten that this was the real reason I chose to marry him at all. 
YOR: *shakes herself*  
YOR: Well, we’re home now so why don’t we see what your Papa is...Anya?  
ANYA: *drooling on YOR’s sweater* 
YOR: Oh, she must have fallen asleep while I was deep in thought. 
YOR: *freezes as an agitated LOID zooms down the stairs and skids to a halt in front of YOR, his face pinched and his finger pointing accusingly at...a sleeping ANYA* 
LOID: Dammit! She’s foiled me again!  
YOR: Loid? What are you...? 
LOID: I...! She...! Arghhhhhh! 
YOR: *holds a finger up to her lips*  
YOR: Shhh, she just fell asleep. I’ll carry her up as gently as I can. 
LOID: *slumps forward, defeated* 
LOID: I’ll get dinner started.  
YOR: I forgot about that. A good husband is someone who knows when to be gentle. 
YOR: *glancing at LOID's cardigan as they walk up the stairs, a recent memory coming back to her*
YOR: And when to be firm.

I dont care about timothee tom comparisons thats whatever, but defending cherry is wild b/c take away the acting for a sec but from technical / filmmakers perspective, cherry was poorly edited with blatant mistakes, a movie that is visually bland with poor choices in terms of cinematography and choices that make no sense to the plot that ultimately is like take a step back and think of film as more than just actors on screen. Script that is littered with sterotypes. A movie that was supposed to cover a topic like the opiod crisis but never once does anything with it nor has any meaningful conversation about it. The first part talks about the linkage between us imperialism and ptsd only for the russos to completely drop the critique of the us military mid way through the film there is literallly a lack of cohesion of what it wants to say b/c the script is muddled and unfocused. No movie is perfect but if you are not even open to actual critiques of the film is wild, is film that has potential but its poorly constructed with numerous plot holes and under developed themes. Its style over substance in this case style lacked any thematic purpose rather its used to tell the audience " hey look we can make an independent film" and visual style is never justifeid. Acting is subjective but I tend to argue that cherry blurs more into the realm of overacting, a more talented director would tell tom to control and to hold some things rather than go all the way to 100
the last 30 minutes border more on parody rather than being an honest representation of someone who is a addicted to drugs struggling with ptsd and geographical/ socio economic displacement. The best scene was him in the hospital after that it blurs into over the top hyper realism and fouth wall breaking which tom struggles constantly throughout.
Like Im sorry why are unafraid to engage in critique, tom is a great actor but cherry was all over the place in terms of acting. Like whenever someone critques him you and your anons are quick to dismiss it and say can people think for themselves well here you go I thought for myself its so dismissive and condesending when you think people do have opinions.
Timmy tom comaparisons are dumb, they go after different roles, timmy has admittedly has had more critical success but as that anon said he knows what works for him.
Tom is a great actor and shines in alot of his movies but his films outside of his performance do have flaws and alot of them are technical such as poor visuals ( uncharted) and mistakes in the editing room ( infinity war, end game) under developed script ( TDATT).
This isnt reserved just for toms films but timmys films as well. You also undercut timmy, you said I want the person with range as in tom but literally timmy, austin, zendaya, florence , anya , keke palmer, kelvin harrison, daniel kuluyaa,dev patel like the list goes on of people with range, I dont understand what you mean when you say range like do you just watch tom holland films or something 😭😭😭 i dont know how you can convincingly say one actor as more range than another based on what. Lee, Elio wonka, paul, king henry, yule is a diverse subset of characters, in the same way that arvin, cherry, peter parker, billy elliott are diverse characters.
Tumblr media
Wow...This was a LOT Anon. I see you've already written a dissertation, so I'm not going to add on to this by writing a dissertation of my own. I'll just pick from a few things here and there.
but defending cherry is wild b/c take away the acting for a sec but from technical / filmmakers perspective, cherry was poorly edited with blatant mistakes
What mistakes? Can you list examples?
a movie that is visually bland with poor choices in terms of cinematography
What do you mean by this?? And did it ever occur to you that maybe this might have been done on purpose? 🤔 The movie is about drug addiction after all. I also disagree that the entire movie was "visually bland". Some scenes, maybe?? But I think there were quite a few visually appealing and well-shot scenes in "Cherry". You might disagree, but I felt that these shots in particular were quite nice with the lighting (imo). The Cherry and Emily scenes in particular.
youtube
and choices that make no sense to the plot that ultimately is like take a step back and think of film as more than just actors on screen.
Again...if you provide some examples, maybe I can agree with you.
Look, I'm not saying "Cherry" was the best film ever made, but to say it was "horrendously awful" is a bit of a stretch to me.
Tom is a great actor and shines in alot of his movies but his films outside of his performance do have flaws and alot of them are technical such as poor visuals ( uncharted) and mistakes in the editing room ( infinity war, end game) under developed script ( TDATT).
And these might just be personal opinions? 🤷🏾‍♀️ But either way, what an actor has done in the past doesn't always equal what they will do in the future imo.
Maybe one day, a film that Tom does will live up to your expectations, but I just feel like you're being unnecessarily hard for no good reason.
You also undercut timmy, you said I want the person with range as in tom but literally timmy, austin, zendaya, florence , anya , keke palmer, kelvin harrison, daniel kuluyaa,dev patel like the list goes on of people with range,
Ummm....When have I EVER "undercut" Timmy (or any of these other actors you've mentioned above)??? 🥴 I've said plenty of times that Timmy (as well as the others you've mentioned) are great actors!
I dont understand what you mean when you say range like do you just watch tom holland films or something 😭😭😭
Tumblr media
Okay, now I KNOW you're just trolling. 😒🙄 How many times have I talked about other movies and other actors here on my blog?? Like, literally ALL the time. I don't just watch "Tom Holland movies". 😒 If anything, I've been one who's always told fans to expand their film and actor horizons and appreciate a wide variety!
I've seen 98% of Tom's filmography though, so that's why I do feel like I have an honest view of his filmography overall.
i dont know how you can convincingly say one actor as more range than another based on what. Lee, Elio wonka, paul, king henry, yule is a diverse subset of characters, in the same way that arvin, cherry, peter parker, billy elliott are diverse characters.
Okay look, I know you're a huge Timmy fan and all, and that's okay! But I think you're misunderstanding what I meant. I didn't say "range", I said DIVERSITY of filmography. There's a difference! I never said Timmy doesn't have acting range. I just said that Tom has a more diverse filmography....and he DOES! That's just a fact.

Not to mention that this info is coming months after his departure, during the blood origin pr which doesn't go well, when fans are against the writers bc we all saw s2, plus he and millie where basically the face of the promo for enola, plus the love scene he cut was with triss after geralt thought he lost yen forever, people wanted to see that? A love scene with triss when the love between geralt yen wasn't even established thanks to Lauren cutting their scenes and backstory. And the love scene with Anya it was before yen's betrayal. He didn't denied a love scene with her, they both wanted a romantic and not an animalistic, sex scene (isn't what anti yenralt said during s1, that their bond is pure sex and not love?) and imagine if we had a love scene and then she went on with the betrayal according to Lauren's script, how much more hate yen would get, "she lead on geralt for her purposes" , "she used him" etc. And what scenes he rewrote? Roach's death or he added a campfire scene with ciri at the first episode. Wow what bad decisions! Tell me one guest star or ex producer who isn't on Lauren's payroll that said anything bad for him. In fact the actress who played his mother in s1, in an interview about Valhalla in an unrelated question he said cavill is an example of how a list actors should behave on set. He gave her space, he asked her if she felt OK with her lines or wanted anytbi g changed etc. But there are many ex worker of Lauren's who say how egomaniac is and doesn't listen to anyone. And in the end no matter what info are coming now, blood origin will be released soon and then s4 of the Witcher and we'll know.
i get that changes to the script must be awkward for the writers, but they were good changes. i'd go as far as to say they were changes that made s2 bearable. i can't imagine if they had gone ahead with geralt/triss sleeping together, and then yenralt together when she knows she's about to betray him. or if they'd made a joke over roach's death. and i really do understand how someone behind the scenes would go 'this makes life harder for us' but also, it's making a better show. we don't know what's happened with s3, and if henry fought for more changes there, but as a fan looking at s2 i damn well trust his judgement more than i do the writers at this point. labelling him as a misogynist because he didn't trust lauren's vision is one huge leap. also lauren very recently said they left things amicably, which would not be the case if he was truly being rude to her on set as the rumors suggest.
according to this rumour, his behaviour shifted in s2, so s1 he would have behaved correctly. which can happen, we've seen it happen before with tv stars where they behave well because they feel they're on a probation period and then act up when they know the show is a hit. but honestly it just sounds more like henry felt more comfortable to put his foot down about things he was uncomfortable with? especially the shirtless scenes thing, that man had to dehydrate himself for days before filming the shirtless scenes in season 1, i can understand why he wouldn't want to do that again. being uncomfortable with shirtless scenes and sex scenes is something the writers should be taking on board for all actors, especially when they're not necessary to the story and are just being added in so the show can get some gratuitous nudity for viewers.
i can see some things within the rumours being true, but a lot of it reads like an overexaggerated account of one side of the argument. like if you had been ranting to a friend about the things that had pissed you off, and that friend had then given a statement about it. there might well be grains of truth within it, but a lot of it reeks of exaggerated bias. i do genuinely think there was a disagreement between him and the writing team that left to him leaving, but netflix 'firing' him seems like a stretch, it seems more like they both decided that the best thing to do was for him to leave the role.

TAG GAME: EIGHT SHOWS TO GET TO KNOW ME
Tagged by @lordjohnwgrey thank you for the tag ❤️
peaky blinders - found it because of cillian murphy, stayed for the acting, cinematography, plot. just one of those shows that for me filled a void, fitting between the space of downton abbey and war movies.
1883 - just obsessed with the recent westerns that have come out, especially this one. hadn’t seen a settlers trying to find a place to settle yet before this one (or couldn’t think of one) + beautifully filmed + even though it’s clearly based around one family all of the characters are just so well done/involved that you kind of get invested in them too (and i like the voice over narration).
black sails - because of pirates, excited finally something (serious) else came along next to pirates of the caribbean.
the white queen - because it is just that good! (and because it wasn’t boring, unlike SOME historical tv-series/shows)
teen wolf/the vampire diaries - couldn’t choose/same reasoning so counted them as one. grew up with them, big fan of the supernatural.
chapelwaite - for the storytelling, dialogue and relationships (mainly the bond between charles boone and his children and how they act/talk with one another). even the dialogue between characters I didn’t really give a shit about was fascinating.
the queen’s gambit - because of anya taylor-joy + cinematography + making chess interesting.
sense8 - another favourite genre, humans with powers/other species + plus one of the first series where I was like: wow tv-shows can be just as good as movies + looks like we’re getting into a new era (tv-shows becoming on par with movies)
Tagging (No pressure, PLEASE MAKE A NEW POST WHEN YOU DECIDE TO DO THIS, DON’T REBLOG): @areyenotfondofmelobster, @julyzaa, @runnning-outof-time, @finite--incantatem, @solomons-finest-rum, @quarterpastmidnight, @hb-writes, @the-makingsofgreatness, @amysteryspot, @zablife and anyone else who wants to!

and btw, for anyone who knows me irl but still reads this, no u dont know me (unless u like it)
warnings: none i can think of
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
after their wedding they went to the fancy place Anyas grandmother let them stay at.
their wedding was in paris beacuse neither felt like saint pettersburg could offer them anything but distant memories. neither wanted to remember their life before eachother so they decided not to go back.
"did you know that paris is the city of lights?" Anya asked
"pff-"
"what??"
"i dont know, i just like being in a room with you, you make rooms good"
"really?"
"yea, why do you think i wanted to marry you in the first place?"
"because im the pRiNcEsS"
"well, for the record, i loved you way before actually thinking you were Anastasia"
she smiled looking up at him.
*in a fake exagerated voice * "OH MY GOD! i can not belive you Dimitri! how could you lie to me and tell me i am the lost princess??"
"ohh shut it, i was right after all wasnt i?" he smiled too
"hey do you maybe wanna go somewhere so i can prove to you this is the city of lights?"
"how on earth could you prove that and why would you want to do that" he laughed
"well i dont know, maybe go on the last floor of this big ol' house we have the privilage of staying at and look at the city from the balcony or something... i dont know, its stupid, we dont have to-"
"yea sure"
and they went
.
.
.
"wow"
"i told you"
"no, i mean wow, we are actually married."
"oh, youre saying that like youre sorry to be married to me" (she said that as a joke btw, idk their interactions are like very tone indicator-ish)
"you know thats not true"
and they just sat there in silence. it wasnt uncomfortable or anything, they just enjoyed being with one another.
"i love you Anya"
.
.
.
"i love you too"
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
i hope you liked it, sorry it was kinda short and you can clearly see i do not compreheand the way normal people act on their wedding night (sex)
but like ive never had sex, how tf do you describe sex?
"they made love" just sound like im some 5th grader wanting to know what sex is so bad, but they still have no idea
so yea im sorry, but i hope you still liked it :)
bye-bye

Okay so bs4/as1 has been a bit hit and miss for me so far (I've generally been watching one Buffy episode followed by one Angel episode whenever I sit down to watch and I've not often had a double bill of hits, but also never gotten a double miss so far so it's not I'm not having a good time even the misses have some stuff I like) but I watched I Will Remember You last night and it was such a banger I loooove the Bangel tragedy and it was such a good one. I watched Pangs right before and I was thinking wow they brought back Angel for this episode (this had so much baggage there was stuff I liked in it but oof)? But it was worth it I guess to get Buffy into Angel for the following one. I kinda wish In the Dark hadn't happened though cause it kinda cheapens the Angel being human in the sun thing by having him be in the sun already just four or five episodes ago and its way better in this one. I thought it was gonna just be hallucinations for a bit when he and Buffy hooked back up, there was no way that could be allowed in the timeline even if Angel vamped up again, but resetting the clock is way better, should've realised from all the clocks they were showing. It was just a real good Angel/Buffy power hour played all the hits, doing what they do best. I ship Bangel primarily in the sense that I love to see that tragedy aspect of it, no desire to see them together long term just burn bright, fast and break each other's hearts. And since it was a heavy crossover episode Buffy and Angel can share the crown of favourite episode yet across Buffy's s4 and Angel's s1.
Spike being fully into his loser era is great I can really get behind that. The Initiative at first glance I thought this is a bit goofy dunno if I'll buy this and then Walsh was the director of it as well as Buffy's psychology lecturer and I decided yes this is just goofy enough to get behind. Riley's alright he's not really got enough meat yet to get me into him yet but the duelling secret identities thing he'll have going with Buffy should be fun, I do find it kinda funny that now that we know who they are the Initiative goons just never wear masks anymore.
I thought Wild at Heart was real good but its wild to me that this feels like the first actual episode about Oz and its about him cheating on his girlfriend, killing the person he cheated on her with and then leaving forever (there's extenuating circumstances but still), wild, also kinda sad there's no more werewolf episodes cause somehow those costumes were getting even more ropey and I was interested to see how much worse they'd get. This was also a day where I got two hits with the Bachelor Party being just a really a fun Doyle episode.
Other hits I've had Room with a Vu, great Cordy episode her insisting to the ghost that she can't scare her cause she's from Sunnydale and refusing to give up on such a good place to live was incredible, and that scene with her talking about how she wants to stop being punished great stuff, and I Fall To Pieces, psychic limb detaching surgeon was wild and unsettling, I also really enjoyed Melissa's work as the victim. Admittedly, Angel is leaning very heavy into the damsel trope now that they don't have to write a show with a female lead. Oh yeah also it does feel a bit like they're playing fast and loose with the whole sunlight thing I feel like Angel's been in sunlight a fair few times this show.
Honourable mention to Fear, Itself, it's got some good stuff but largely it suffered from me thinking its not on the level of the s1 fear episode "Nightmares" and not as fun as the s2 "Halloween", but I didn't hate it by any means just didn't quite hit. And also its not fair to it but I thought going towards the climax it was either gonna be a that the Demon didn't want to be there either (hence saying "Release me" all the time) or that it was gonna be an Anya knowing him from her demon days thing so when it got to oh the demon's just tiny while fun felt like a bit of an anticlimax to what I wanted which isn't really the episode's fault.
Now Pangs, Sense and Sensitivity and Beer Bad those were hard misses. Pangs and Sense and Sensitivity, Pangs at least felt more like a fumble (Buffy sideplot about wanting a good Thanksgiving was also fun) while Sense and Sensitivity felt more intentional with it going hard into if only lawyers didn't get in the way of us beating suspects we could catch so many more criminals. Beer Bad on the other hand just not good (I was admittedly primed for this though I had my vague recollections of that great Sarah Z video essay on that time Buffy made government propaganda, so I knew going in it was not a well received episode) "My brother in law is a warlock" and then just moving past it is a GOAT explanation behind a plot and it was at least goofy and Buffy got to beat Parker with a stick.
Other minor things, Anya's just solid gold she's in the same vague area Cordy was for most of her Buffy run time (which is fitting considering she was introduced as someone who could steal Cordy's life and is now dating her ex) where she can just show up say anything, and its a winner. And I love the infrequent appearances of Harmony just redecorating in her lair she's basically inherited. Also feel like there's not been many cold opens of just slaying Vampires, which I guess fits with the Initiative capturing a bunch of them and storing them under the university. Also also I saw there's episode coming up where Cordelia is magically pregnant and I remember that Angel does not do well when its cast get pregnant so I'm filled with a sense of looming dread.
YESSSS okay. i will remember you is a great episode for folks who ship bangel in that particular way. for me - i love what they mean for each other and the role they play in each other's lives. i think they're just a fun, dramatic, supernatural version of the classic great first love. someone you outgrow, but you'll always love somehow. and i will remember you nails that so well because like - it shows them at their best, their passion and devotion to each other, and also why that's not enough to keep them together.
i'm definitely sympathetic to angel's choice at the end, his reason for undoing things and giving buffy up, but it's precisely why they don't work for me as a long term ship. his decision to protect her by making this choice for her, by taking the memories from her is just classic angel. it's something buffy would hate if she knew. for him, it's duty and selflessness. for her it would be a betrayal. it lays bare a kind of unavoidable paternalism that infects their dynamic from the beginning.
hard agree re: spike i always like him best when he's fully being the show's resident buttmonkey. put him in silly clothes! have him be a little pathetic and snarky! make him run around with that smoking blanket pulled over his head!
glad you're having fun so far and getting through it! the initiative will remain kind of weak, but there's still some really great stuff coming up in s4. hush, this years girl, and who are you remain series highlights imo.

FACTS OF SPY x FAMILY! (5): Twilight/ Loid Forger (Part 1)
Previous post: FACTS OF SPY x FAMILY! (4)
I guess some of you might have noticed this preview for today's fact post: Spoilers of the preview
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I decided to do FACTS about Twilight/ Loid Forger. About the Garden Organisation, although it had more votes than Loid Forger, and Anya Forger with the same votes as Loid, I will write their facts after Loid's so stay tuned if you are interested! Btw, both of the forms will be closed by the end of this year so if you are interested in Sxf, then pls fill in if you can, I appreciate it <3 *\(>-<)/*
!Warning!: -Contains spoilers!
-The information was taken from videos on Youtube that are trusted and well-informed (you don't need to worry about that)
-What I'm about to tell you below are analyses from Vietnamese analysing videos which I translated for you into English for this post. I'll copy the video link at the end of the post if you are interested in (if you can understand Vietnamese).
-Sorry if my English is not good, it wasn't easy for me to translate the whole video... Thank you, I appreciate it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now let's move on to our main topic: 🧐🤯
The man with a thousand face, an expert in disguise, the best agent as well as the father of the Forger family, Loid Forger, or should be known as Twilight!
In the beginning of 2019, the author of the manga with the same name Tatsuya Endo-san showed the manga-anime community how to create an outstanding character, and when he first created the character Twilight/ Loid Forger, many fans girls have to "WOW" because of his handsomeness, amazing talent and being cool~ Despite being well-known as a talented spy by not only W.I.S.E Organisation but also other opposed gangs such as the mafias or even the SSS, no one can ever believe under the cover of a spy is a responsible husband and father of a forged family.
To become a spy of the W.I.S.E organisation, Twilight had to leave and give up everything, his biography and even his real name, so his name is always a mystery. Therefore, "Twilight" is just a codename as he is a super spy. It has a very special meaning: Twilight is a period of time just before it becomes completely dark in the evening (kinda like a very beautiful sunset, not red sunset, more like the sky is a bit ocean blue and light pink or gold, with orange sunset, sometimes have clouds) like the images on the left and the center, the one on the right is how science explains twilight. Now, that period actually represents Agent Twilight as twilight is a time between day and night (how science explains), similar to a spy's duty as they sometimes don't know they work for the good (day) or the bad (night), or they showed the fake identity as a normal person at daylight and became an unknown hero, an agent in the night. On the good side, they are the heroes protecting the world, while on the bad side, they can be little sussy insects destroying the world of peace.
(For clearer information, click this link (because I'm not an expert about astronomy so I really don't know a bit about this).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Twilight's past~~~
At present, there aren't much information about his past. All we know that as an orphan and a victim of war, he had lost his family and friends and there was no one else with him. All he remembers is where he used to live with his parents, which is Luwen - a small town in Eastern Westalis. (read from Spy x Family manga chapter 62, below is the summary)
His childhood~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His father is a pacificist (related to peace)- người theo chủ nghĩa hòa bình in Vietnamese, so he absolutely denied and hated the war scene at that time. I think he was a very awful dad as well, he kept yelling and scolding Twilight as well as underestimating him when he was little whenever he talked about war in front of him, it's like he thought Twilight will get in the way. However, his mother was very nice. She is brave and caring for him, she usually sang lullabies for him at bedtime. However, his parent's opinions of teaching methods were different so it always ended up in arguments, which Twilight usually felt depressed at his parents arguing every day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Other than his parents, he also befriended 3 kids in the neighborhood and they played at an abandoned warehouse that was used for military services, and of course, their favorite game was acting as soldiers. From then on, they gave eachother nicknames like major, general or adviser (how his friends called "Twilight"), and their dream was to join the military together and defeat all the "monsters" from the East. Though a little fun talk and play of a child thought to be harmless, his father disagreed and hit (slapped) him in the face for the lack of knowledge about Ostanians and the thought of war between 2 countries. Moreover, Twilight was also jelous about his friends when they all have gun toys and other stuffs from their parents, so he once lied to his father about borrowing money to buy them. However, inside Twilight was the big guilt, he regretted lying to him immediately. Twilight also decided to stay away from his friends and the warehouse.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the "destiny" had arrived. No sooner had a moment been short and peaceful than the army of Ostania arrived and released the bombs and guns, Luwen was their first target. Twilight first-time witnessed the seller of the bakery got killed because of the whole building collapsed on her. He also saw the warehouse where they played was destroyed. Managed to survive the destruction and debris thanks to the helmet he was wearing, however, what left behind him was a deep scar on his head. He and his mother managed to get together and they moved to Kielberg. Nevertheless, it was not long until war, again, destroyed the town. The little boy had just finished fishing and on the way home when he was pulled with the people on the street to a safe shelter. Twilight, he quickly ran out to find his mom. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it on time, he had lost everything, his friends and father (we don't talk about him), and now, his mother...
The reason I didn't call his parents as "mom" and "dad", instead, I refer them "mother" and "father", because I think it was more formal and more acceptable to call like those. And I think calling "mom" and "dad" sounds a bit childish and we are not even related
Tumblr media
His mother's death had left him a big scar on his mind, and that obsession still appeared again in his dreams, make him severly traumatized (like developing thanatophobia- the fear of losing someone you love and traumatophobia- the fear of battle or war, though I don't think Twilight is afraid of battle because he had done so many missions that involved in battling someone or a gang of bad guys, but I'm not sure about the war case). Everyone was all gone, no one else to be right by his side, and the chaos of war was surrounding him. Twilight being abandoned had to survive through this disaster.
Tumblr media
The junior Twilight lost everything he cherished in life, father, mother, friends, dreams, everthing was all gone by the tsunami of war. All remained in his mind was the hatred, revenge towards Ostanian army, the Ostanian and Ostania. Twilight decided to lie his age to join Westalian army with his fake identity Roland Spoofy. From then on, Twilight started to join the fight and the war between Westalis and Ostania by using and mastering the skills of a natural adviser on the gory battlefield.
At present~
After a long while, with outstanding achievements on battlefields, Twilight became the Number One candidate, and was chosen for the Intelligence Organization Westalis W.I.S.E (Westalian Intelligence Services' Eastern-Focused Division). Officially worked for W.I.S.E, on the behalf of a spy whose codename is Twilight. Twilight's spy reputation spreads increasingly, attract the attentions of many dark organisation in and out of Westalis, especially the Intelligence Orgaisation National Security of Ostania S.S.S.
Now as far as we know about Twilight, his lastest mission was completed successfully. However, after that, he was given another mission to approach Donovan Desmond, an important target of the operation protecting peace of W.I.S.E, Operation Strix (read Spy x Family manga chapter 1 or watch Spy x Family anime episode 1).
The request is to form a fake family at the city Berlint and get close to the Eden Academy, where Donovan's son is studying. Twilight also has a new identity, a psychiatrist Loid Forger with a "wife" who passed away 2 years ago (Anya helped him faking that) and currently taking care of the child all by himself (well it was true in episode 1, but then everything changed in episode 2). So Twilight started to find new members for his family, and accidentally met an orphan girl named Anya and a "hot"/beautiful woman named Yor Briar. Unfortunately, what he didn't expect is those 2 real identity. His adopted daughter is a laboratory "animal"(human) coded 007 with telepathy abilities, and his wife is an expert assassin working for the Garden Organisation from the east.
All 3 of them are covering their important secrets, and only Anya knows clearly her parents' identity with her special ability. How will these people's life turn out? And how long will they be able to keep their own secret? All will be answered in the next episodes of Spy x Family... or you can read the manga :))))

Twitter deleted a Carnegie Mellon University professor’s scorching tweet condemning Queen Elizabeth, claiming the tweet was “abusive,” writes Sam Biddle at The Intercept.
“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating,” tweeted Uju Anya, Carnegie Mellon’s associate professor of second language acquisition.
Anya’s tweet immediately attracted widespread attention and criticism, not least because it was reproachfully quote-tweeted by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. “This is someone supposedly working to make the world better?” the second-richest American tweeted. “I don’t think so. Wow.” Twitter users were quick to point out that Anya had recently tweeted approvingly of Chris Smalls, a rising labor leader instrumental in efforts to unionize Amazon warehouses.
After the criticisms came pouring in, Anya, who was born in Nigeria, tweeted in defense of her remarks: “If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star.”
While the tweet was no doubt offensive to many fans of the crown in wishing suffering upon Elizabeth, the specific rule cited by Myers-Cavanagh justifying the censorship isn’t typically deployed in defense of royalty. The company claims that its ban on abusive remarks is designed to protect speech rather than delete it.
“In order to facilitate healthy dialogue on the platform, and empower individuals to express diverse opinions and beliefs, we prohibit behavior that harasses or intimidates, or is otherwise intended to shame or degrade others,” Twitter’s online help center says. “We consider abusive behavior an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else’s voice.”
Such speech is deleted to shield vulnerable voices from suppression. “On Twitter, you should feel safe expressing your unique point of view,” the policy reads. “We believe in freedom of expression and open dialogue, but that means little as an underlying philosophy if voices are silenced because people are afraid to speak up.”
Twitter Censored Post for “Abusive Behaviour” Toward Queen

[postscript] re:flect. re/fract.
← read on AO3 (available on 230411).
postscript was originally posted on 230317; re-posted (and edited) today to fix some tagging issues on the blog.
for venlumiweek2023.
day 2: corruption au.
i. conceptualizing the fic
I first conceived the idea of venti impersonating lumine back in 2021. I was struck with the image of aether, who just woke up, seeing lumine soothe dvalin in the woods. except that’s not actually lumine — that’s venti in disguise. I loved this scene so much that I wanted to write it, but at that time I felt that I didn't have enough material to make a fic out of.
I’m glad I postponed writing it until now. the fic has a stronger voice to it now, since venti’s reason for impersonating lumine is tied to irminsul’s ability to wipe memories. my initial idea was for him to just miss lumine a lot and to impersonate her to soothe aether’s loneliness. while this can hold on its own, the irminsul twist makes the story more interesting and gives it depth.
this fic has turned into more than just venti impersonating lumine. we also see lumine copying aether, and venti seeing lumine in aether. there is a running theme of becoming the one you love, and seeing the one you love in someone else. how different sides of you can be perceived by different people.
the title, of course, is a play on those themes. venti, wanting to preserve the memory of lumine, aims to be her reflection, a perfect mimicry of who she was. but as he learns about lumine outside of herself, he is confronted with how differently other people see her.
how aether is similar, but is not quite the same; a refraction of her image.
ii. unreliable narration, and the folly of being clever
while I was writing this fic, I was also reading emma by jane austen. emma is the story of a girl who’s very clever and smart, but her confidence in her cleverness blinds her from seeing situations clearly sometimes. I highly recommend watching the 2020 adaptation starring anya taylor-joy. it is such a delight to watch.
while reading the book, I thought to myself, “wow, I’d love to write a character like that one day.”
I was maybe half a scene away from finishing this fic when I realized I was already writing this kind of character subconsciously through venti and lumine. I was very surprised, but pleasantly so, since I wasn’t consciously thinking to “write emma” while writing this fic.
much of the fic is centered on this line: we like to think of ourselves as clever, but all our clever tricks have been nothing but folly.
one thing I wanted to explore with abyss lumine and venti is how they both have the tendency to keep secrets and think they have all the answers. this trait gives abyss lumine the confidence to save teyvat. this trait makes barbatos mysterious, and he doesn’t really reveal much to the player despite hinting that he knows way too much than we give him credit for.
this shared trait is also what makes lumine and venti intrigued by one another. in this way, they are the same. they are clever people with long-term plans for the future. I wanted to explore how that cleverness could work against them.
(I mentioned in the end notes that I’ll leave the fic up to reader interpretation. so if you want to keep your interpretations, please ignore the rest of this section and skip to the next.)
venti practices becoming lumine to prepare for the day irminsul wipes her from collective memory. since irminsul can’t change the physical realm, venti turns this practice into habit so that just seeing his reflection as lumine will trigger his true memories and keep irminsul’s fake memories out of the way.
and he’s not wrong! he really does remember the version of lumine that irminsul tried to erase. it’s a very clever trick of overcoming irminsul. but venti did not have the foresight to realize how much this will hurt himself. how much it will cause him to ache for her more, how he allows lumine to curse him to be there for aether in a way he wasn’t planning to. the cruelty of becoming, instead of being with, the one you love.
this is why venti commends dainsleif, because he saw this side of her much more clearly than venti did.
similarly, lumine had her own clever tricks as well. seeing venti try to become her, she trains venti to become the big sister that aether needs when lumine is not there. she was not doing this out of malice to venti, but we cannot deny that this is manipulation on her part. yet, even so, lumine was kind. she asked venti to wear cecilias, so that a part of venti will stay in that form. she didn’t want venti to completely lose himself in his impersonation.
and she’s not wrong! venti did become the perfect companion to aether, the big sister that knew all the ways to soothe and take care of aether’s loneliness. what lumine (and venti) did not account for was the cecilia. lumine asked venti to wear cecilias out of kindness to him. and yet, after the irminsul wipe, after she becomes the abyss princess, she is filled with turmoil. whenever she wears cecilias and looks at her own reflection, the flower triggers feelings of confusion and anger that she doesn’t understand. she doesn’t have her memories, but her body knows that this reflection is not her.
the cecilia is a clever trick. it makes her seek out venti to figure out why she’s confused, why her reflection is lying to her. it is also a source of turmoil for the abyss princess, a source of shame for making her seek out the gods of teyvat.
we don’t see this side of lumine since this is a very venti-centric fic, and I think that’s fine. some of it is implied. but at the end of the day, venti himself is an unreliable narrator, so there are many things that the fic doesn’t confirm.
he doesn’t call out lumine for manipulating him to be her replacement when he’s with aether. he states that dainsleif and aether knew the real lumine, that they figured her out and venti hasn’t. protecting aether is a duty blurred between lumine’s wish for her brother to be safe, and venti’s desire to carry out lumine’s wishes.
it’s up in the air if venti was deceiving himself about not figuring lumine out, and if he knew he was being manipulated by her. maybe he allowed it to happen, or maybe he didn’t.
a clever person wouldn’t have been fooled. and venti and lumine, in this fic, like to think of themselves as clever people.
again, it’s up to the reader to decide how unreliable venti is as a narrator.
iii. canon compliance
I wrote this before caribert came out, so there are inconsistencies with the timeline. caribert asserts that lumine traveled with dainsleif after the catclysm and created the abyss order afterwards.
of course, that is not what happens in the fic.
to insert venti into the timeline, I made lumine and dainsleif travel before the cataclysm. I quite like this decision. this gives lumine depth because her decision to leave aether stems from her love for him, for him to wake up to a better world. this ties into her desire to save teyvat, which is a desire that is easy to twist and gives irminsul some material to base off of when rewriting memories. this desire might also be something exploitable by The Voice in the caribert quest.
this also contrasts with how aether saw her. the lumine he knew wouldn’t have wanted to stay for good. but lumine did. lumine, changed by this world and moved by venti, wanted to make teyvat their home.
I also enjoyed writing dainsleif here. I think he and venti would have an interesting dynamic. since they traveled before the cataclysm, dainsleif is more flexible in his beliefs and is able to befriend venti despite being an archon, since he knows venti is not exactly a fan of celestia. they don’t begrudge each other, and they are both aware of how much they both love lumine. perhaps this is why dainsleif looks out for venti. it’s a shame he wasn’t able to turn venti into a proper atheist and free him from his chains to celestia.

Pillow Fort (Spy x Family)
Tumblr media
Heyo! It's official: I love Spy x Family! The characters are absolutely adorable and the show is hilarious! Naturally I couldn't resist writing a fic for the series!
This is a bit of an impromptu collab with the wonderful @helloitsghost! Thank you so much for convincing me to watch this show friend! We've decided to do a drawing + Fic for the series, and here we are! I hope you like it!
Summary: It's raining, canceling the day's plans for Anya and her family. Thankfully Yor has a backup plan for such days!
“Anya, do you want to make a pillow fort?”
It was the weekend, the rain outside pounding at the windows of their little apartment. Anya had been sitting by said window, hand pressed against her cheek gloomily as she watched the dreary weather. They had made plans- a little picnic for the three of them to go on when Loid got back from his work. At the time, the sky was as clear as it could be.
Now it was gray and thunderous. Anya was sure it changed on purpose.
She turned to her momma now, green eyes curious. “What’s that?” She asked, earning a shocked look from Yor. “Wha-you’ve never made a pillow fort before? Why, it’s possibly the greatest thing since an actual fort!” Smiling, Yor stood and struck a pose. “When me and your uncle Yuri were children, I was known as the great fort crafter! No one could beat my grand designs!” Despite her proud words, her smile seemed almost sad. Still, she carried on, offering a hand to the small girl before her. “Would you like to come and see what your momma can do?”
Anya didn’t need much of a push, giggling in delight as she jumped from her spot by the window, taking Yor’s hand. “Let’s do it! Pillow fort! Pillow fort!”
~~~
Yor wasn’t kidding when she said she was a fort master. Granted, she hadn’t had much competition growing up, but that didn’t mean her skills were shabby.
Together, the pair gathered blankets, pillows, couch cushions, just about anything and everything you could think of for a fort. They dragged away the coffee table to make space, and using the now barren couch, began their work. Anya was a creative genius, Yor decided, the little girl knowing exactly where she wanted each blanket and cushion for the inside of their fort. Her little face was screwed up in concentration, and she practically glowed whenever Yor complimented her work.
For her own task of building the structure, the assassin went all out. She dragged over chairs to increase the height, and created a “door” of sorts with two different blankets. By the end of their hard work, they had assembled what to be a dome-like multicolored masterpiece.
“It’s perfect!” Anya cheered, clapping her hands as she took it all in. Yor laughed, holding up a hand. “Great job Anya!” she told her, grinning when Anya high fived her. “Why don’t you get everything inside set up while I make us some fort snacks?”
At the mention of snacks, Anya was practically jumping for joy. “Oh yes please! Can we have the treat papa made? The peanut bwittle?”
“Brittle, dear, and of course we can.” She booped her nose and turned to the kitchen, leaving Anya to get cozy. Just as she was about to sort things, the door opened, Loid shuffling in. “Oh, Loid! Welcome back.” She called.
“Papa!” Anya practically sprinted from the fort, clinging to Loid’s leg and nearly sending the man tumbling. “Whoa- careful! Hello Anya.” He laughed when she shuffled higher, picking her up and hugging her close. “Papa! Momma and I made a fort!” She cheered right into his ear, making him cringe. “I see- wow, what a great fort.” He nodded at the mass of blankets, both surprised at just how many they had but also impressed. “Have you picked a name for it?”
“A name?” Anya considered this, humming in thought. “I don’t know. What’s the fort name, Momma?” She asked Yor, who had just finished getting the snacks in order. “The name…we haven’t picked one yet, have we?” She stepped forward. “We’ll think of one-”
That was when disaster struck. Yor’s foot caught on one of the chairs she placed, sending her off balance. Her assassin instinct kicked in, saving her and the plate of snacks she was holding.
What had not kicked in was Loid’s own reaction time. “Yor-” He darted out to steady her, his foot accidentally kicking into a support pillow. Within the span of five seconds, one of the walls had collapsed, thus bringing down the fort.
“Oh no…” Anya whispered, voice sad. “Momma’s fort…”
~~~
Yor blinked at their hard work, taken down within seconds. Loid looked absolutely guilty, shame coloring his cheeks at the disaster he unintentionally created. “Oh- oh man, I’m really sorry- it was an accident, I’ll help you rebuild it-”
“Anya.” Yor spoke, something in her voice made the pair freeze, turning to her. “It seems a monster has invaded our fort…”
The little girl gasped, understanding flooding her eyes. “Oh no! Where is it?” She looked around, acting as a scared princess amongst an attack.
“I’m not sure, but they’ve made their attack.” Yor slowly started to approach the pair, eyes dangerous. If it weren’t for the twitching smile on her lips, Loid would have been convinced she was about to kill him. “Yor…what are you doing?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m saving the princess...,from the monster!” She darted forward, hands latching onto his sides and tickling. “Take this, foul being!”
“Ah! Wahahahit! Whahahait nohohoho fahahhahair!” Loid cried, twisting away as Yor got him under the ribs. Of course she’d wait until Anya was in his arms before attacking! Speaking of, he felt the tiny girl’s hands reach out, scribbling at his chest and neck with mischievous intent. “Hehe, Papa’s the monster!”
“Nohoohohohhow hoohohohohold on! Wahhahahahahait! Gahahahahhaaha! Nohohohohot thehehehehere!” He giggled helplessly when Yor found a particularly bad spot just behind his ribs. He wasn’t getting out of this anytime soon.
Time for drastic measures.
“Wahahhahhahahait, whahahahhait time ohohohohout!” He cried, taking a breath when Yor and Anya stopped. Quickly he put Anya to her feet, twisting so he was facing the wide eyed brunette. “A monster, huh? Fine then- allow me to show you my true form!” He roared playfully before grabbing Yor around the waist, squeezing along her hips and earning a shriek of laughter. “Loohohohohohohohid! Wahahhahahahhhait! Ahehahahahahhahaha! Ahahahahahahnya heheheheheelp mehehehhehe!” She cried, cheeks flushing a lovely pink as she weakly pushed against the bigger man’s chest.
“Ha! If you think it will be that easy to escape, you're sorely mistaken!” Heh, her laugh’s kinda cute, his thoughts played out.
Momma and Papa are flirting, Anya decided, feeling herself smile.
“I’ll save you Momma!” She cried out determinedly, grabbing a nearby pillow and smacking Loid’s legs with it. The older man gasped in mock shock, acting out as if he’d just been weakened. “Oh! Oh no- going down!” He cried, slowly falling to the ground as Anya hit him with her pillow once more. “Ah, it’s too much! The pillow! Gah!” He let himself fall backwards, a monster finally slayed.
“He’s down Momma! Get him!” Anya cheered, dropping her pillow and tickling Loid once more, making him spasm with a laugh. “Ay! I’m ahahhahahahready deahhahad!” He cried, catching her in his arms and tickling her in return, making her squeal. “Ahehahahhahahha! Mohohohohoohmma hehehehehelp!”
“I’m coming princess Anya! Hang on!” Yor was back in the fray, a battle of tickles reigning on.
~~~
They hadn’t known how long it’s been, but soon the three found themselves lying in the mess of blankets, breathless and giggly. Anya had fallen asleep against Loid’s chest, soft snores echoing from her lips. Yor was on his opposite side, her long hair scattered behind her like black wings as she smiled softly up at him. “She’s so sweet, isn’t she?” Yor asked, nodding to the pink haired girl snoozing softly.
“She really is. Hey um…I really am sorry. For breaking your fort.” Loid turned to her, that earlier guilt touching his eyes. “You guys worked really hard on it, so…”
“It’s alright. Forts are made to be taken down.” Yor nodded, snuggling over and resting her head against his shoulder. “Besides, what mattered was that Anya had fun. Fort or no fort, we made her day great. So thank you for that.”
A warm feeling settled in Loid’s chest, and he felt himself smile. “Yeah. Thank you too.”
Thanks for reading!
