Lil prowler! y/n reveals themself to spider!Miles

youtube

Mentions of g*n violence, b*llet wounds, cursing & character death.

Any one over 16 DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS FIC

Y/n watched as miles approached the finger that looked scarily the similar their boyfriend. He just didn’t have braids and looked more…youthful?

‘He looks so…pathetic’ y/n thought

They watched as the two look-alikes exchanged a “conversation” or whatever you can call it. Y/n could see how they contrast, Miles G looked more tired and just rugged. The other Miles looked tired too but much more hopeful in the eyes, like life was easy for him.

y/n loathed that thought, ‘better life, wtf even is that’

“Your fathers still alive” G said with the distorted voice in his mask

‘He has a father?’ y/n thought. Quickly thinking back to how nice Mile’s father used to be, how much happiness and kindness he brought to the city. Now that he’s gone…the entire new york fel to ruin.

“What?” the other miles raised a brow

“Your father” G said more sternly

“Yeah”

“....oh”

“ Who are you?” the other miles asked

The mask peeled itself off the figure's face, revealing to be G, your one and only. Miles' face showed terror and shock.

“I’m Miles Morales, but YOU, you can call me the prowler” Mils G said, not showing much emotion given the situation he’s in.

You got down from the pipe and walked up to them, not taking your eyes off of the “clone” version of your boyfriend. Your mask peeled off the same way G’s did, revealing your beautiful but tired face.

You had seen the day Mr. Morales died, you almost died that day. Everything was going fine, everyone was gathered at the park for a cookout. Music, laughter, and smiles was the only thing you could see. Miles was smiling so widely, his laughter being contagious for you. All of it was so nice…til it wasn’t. Some f*ck head gangster decided that the cookout was a good place to test out his shooting abilities.

Mr. Morales died a hero, he was trying to save you, you were the closest to him at the moment. Miles wasn’t nearby so he had to get someone to safety. You were already shot and losing blood, he had to do something. As he was trying to get you to safety, he got shot in the process. You had already passed out from shock so you didn’t see it happen but it still stuck with you.

You feel that you were the reason he got shot, you were the reason he died. Survivors guilt like a mf. Rio and Miles had reassured you that it wasn’t your fault, all of your friends and family reassured you that it wasn’t your fault. But you still can’t help but think it was.

Y/n stood next to G, eyeing every little trait the clone had that was similar to Miles.

“Hmph…quite scrawny aint he” you joked, putting your arm on G’s shoulder and leaning on him.

The clone Miles stared at you with sadness and disbelief, it was you, but it wasn’t. His y/n was always cheerful and happy, always with a smile on their face. His y/n died, y/n died trying to save him from kingpin. The y/n he was looking at looked as if they’ve seen better days, there was no hope in this y/n’s eyes, no joy or anything. But this y/n was alive, this y/n is breathing and looking STRAIGHT into his eyes.

“...y/n?” Miles choked out, with a tear strolling down his eyes.

“Damn…I must’ve died in his world by the way he lookin’ at me” You said, softly laughing a bit.

“It’s…you”

“Yeah it’s me tch…and?” you said with a smirk

Miles took a second to gather his thoughts, you weren’t his y/n. This “conversation” clearly showed that. He had to go, maybe he pleaded more and reached some caring and innocent part of you and G.

“Please….you have to let me go”

You and Miles activated your metal claws and put both of them on the sides of his head. Nearly moving in sync.

“Why would I do that” you both say, looking Miles in the eye with an almost emotionless face.

You were not letting him go

as someone who isn't a swiftie but certainly doesn't hate TS...wtf was that? she is talented, she has written so many incredible songs. but the album is unbelievably boring. she tried to be complex but the delivery didn't quite land for me.

It was a super bad fit for her style. I think she is best on tracks that either have wistful and youthful perspectives like "Back to December, "Begin Again," "Out of the Woods" or high romanticism like "Love Story," "Lover," "Paper Rings." Then there are the sexy genre hits like "Dress" and "Gorgeous," the wonderful storytelling of Folkmore, and the fun stuff like "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space."

The biting satire stuff she's going for in this one doesn't quite work for me. She does NOT have enough critical distance from her life and toxic patterns to satirize any of it well. Trust that if she decides to rehab her toxic behavior through true introspection - not with 'therapy' sessions provided by her mom - I WILL be there to cheer her on. Otherwise it's cardboard libraries that look like mausoleums, fan armies that are almost as aggressive and hiveminded as MAGA, and burn book albums churned out at a pace that inevitably compromises quality. My frustrations are not so much with her individually as the culture that has pitched its tent on her doorstop and mirrors her worst impulses. You don't love mother's behavior? Literally kys. Anyone else being anywhere on any industry output chart that could even brush against mother's greatness and manufactured record-setting? See previous instruction to kys. Joe dared to be born into an affluent family and is white and male - he doesn't deserve to have any emotions or needs in their relationship. It's just so fucking feral of them

Majima’s long road to accepting that Kiryu is not straight

previously on this little story.

It's time to start shooting Majima's denial horse!

It all starts when Majima comes up to the construction boys that are all cheerful and drinking in their relaxation corner on a lunch break.

And he's like, "What is goin on, what are we celebrating here, are you drinking on the job, there should be a good cause if that's the case.

And everyone gets really quiet and awkward, because yeah, they are railing it up for support, celebrating, as usual. Sometimes they will throw mini parties for someone going through the not straight Struggles, or passing some milestone, it's a whole thing.

And Majima (who very much knows about these parties, and even participates in them sometimes) looks them all over and realises "Oh, okay. Sounds like a good occasion today." And everyone gets hushed again, like a bunch of weirdos. And (slightly drunk) Kiryu looks up at him from his shot glass, and says "Today I told a stranger that I'm not straight."

Blinking, Majima goes "And why would you do that?". "Because I am not," says Kiryu, jabbing a finger in a vague direction, and spilling some of his drink.

"Oh, okay then. Have fun," Majima replies with a little snort, and casually goes back to his office-trailer in the complete silence that trailed after that whole conversation.

And in his little private office Majima proceeds to loose his shit.

After a couple minutes the celebration noises resumed. And in the darkness behind the blinds Majima kept staring in horror at the calendar with big fishes on it. Fishes stared back, reminding him that Kiryu got him really nice fishing gear (very pricey, too).

So yeah, with how everyone was taking it, and the fact it was a legit celebration, Majima can't dodge this revelation.

But "not straight" would totally mess with his head, it's too vague. But he can't just ask for clarification like a normal person, he gotta suffer and make sarcastic jokes, and accidentally make Kiryu and everyone else uncomfortable.

Because Majima can't really fully accept the concept in his head yet. Of Kiryu actually not being straight. Everything suddenly gets too real if he does: all the insistent awkward flirting, the looks, the box.

So, Majima goes for desperate distancing, and goes for it hard. Nishida and grandpas will heavily disapprove of this.

Poor Kiryu, he has his bitchy moments, but Majima is a bitch master, he can go on and on, for months. Well at least for one minimum.

Over this time, Nishida got very displeased with Majima. Grandpas probably developed strong opinions on weak-minded youth and internalised homophobia. In interactions with Majima it mostly manifested as sparring fights with the second grandpa.

There's layers to this. Back in their years- *insert some trashy story about how you had to fight homophobes every day, and become strong like a truck because of it*

– All the irony and teasing can't save Majima from the realness of it all. And also from Nishida getting upset with him for being an inconsiderate bitch. You just can't be too bitey when someone is sharing private stuff with you, that's not the thing you test people on, wtf. Yeah, Majima wasn't really testing Kiryu, he was distancing himself, but it still comes off just as cruel.

Nishida is very close to a riot. One day he just blows up at the boss. Not a lot, and fully expecting retaliation, but Majima asked him to do something to poke Kiryu again, and Nishida refused. "Do it yourself, if you really feel like this," Nishida will not participate in a thing like this. He watched Kiryu go through a full blown life crisis, it's not a thing to be mocked.

And here Majima is, trying to send male host to have a date with Kiryu. Not undercover, really upfront, but still. This is really coming off as "celebrate your coming out by banging this twink" or something.

Just look at Majima entering the ring, not knowing anything. Still somewhat believing in hoards of girls Kiryu had flings with.

Nishida's horrified. You send the guy thoughtful gifts, give him the utmost support, gift him your knife, and then suddenly lose all taste and self-respect on the spot. It's all quite frankly tasteless and boss should know better. Nishida means it. It's not like being gay was a walk in the park for Majima himself (get his ass, Nishida, you're wearing the hard hat, you're ready)

– Kiryu still had a date with the host though. Haru-kun (he looks like Haruka from Sailor Moon) is a good boy, they talked about life and stuff. He's sending money to his grandparents and wants to open a coffeeshop one day. Him and Kiryu have a nice evening, while the peak drama is happening in the Majima Construction office.

Sure, the whole situation made Kiryu sad, but that's not on the host. He even tried to cheer Kiryu up! So they get some beers and have super awkward talks about gay topics.

Haru-kun is young, around 21 or so. He's sending money back home to the cold emptiness, because grandparents refuse to talk to him ever since they learned he's not straight. Haru-kun is still sending the money, because what else can you do. Kiryu doesn't have much family left to come out to (thinking about Kazama is complicated enough already, so, no, thanks, it's all in the vault).

Kiryu tries to cheer Haru-kun up after souring the mood though, it's not the boy's fault that Kiryu is so fucked up. Haru-kun will also try to lift the mood, because he is a good host, and that's his job – to make clients forget their hardships.

At some point it becomes clear that restaurant and drinks don't work, so they go to play mahjong, then to the underground casino, lose everything, and end up fishing at the pier at night. Then they accidentally get into some beef with local homeless fishermen, and suddenly have to defeat three kings of fishing in the fishing competitions!

They also lost random clothes items, while gambling, and are now sporting old dirty-ish coats instead of the usual suits.

Haru-kun: I didn't know that fishing could be that dangerous.

Kiryu: and deep.

The Seashell monarch, jumping out of the water, dressed in nets: some of it is!

Haru-kun and Kiryu just got somewhere more chill and peaceful, but alas. No frying fish on the bank. (Oh, they will do it – with the kings of fishing in the morning. But only after trials and tribulations.)

Meanwhile, Haru-kun is killing it (the fish). He is from a small fishing village, or town, he knows this stuff.

Master king of fishing: This boy knows how to kill. He will become my pupil.

Kiryu is there, as always. Nodding approvingly.

And Haru-kun flips his bangs like: I will not be an apprentice to someone who does not partake in the joys of the fishing, and also forgot that we do it to survive sometimes, too. One cannot separate these sides. Like everything in life, fishing is both joyous and harrowing and the master that can forget this does not know his craft nor life.

And then there's a whole ark of saving the king's of Deep fishing family. During it, the Master king of fishing comes to his senses, because doing trials and fishing itself became an act he does, a skill, and not the appreciation of the fishing culture and fisherman way of life.

And also Haru-kun got a heat action with Kiryu, where they beat people up with fish!

– So, there's the Seashell monarch – non-binary manic pixie dream pal of fishing. There's the Master king of fishing who is clinical, but wise. And there's the king of Deep fishing, who has family problems.

The Master king of fishing and the Seashell monarch straight up live on the beach. Seashell monarch wears fishing nets all boho style. They practise "live netting", where they go down to the seafloor in their outfit, and swim around, and that's how they catch their breakfast.

The Master king of fishing is grumpy, but takes everything in stride. Like. whatever happens – happens. “You take what the sea of life gives you, and you make use of it” he says, while cleaning seaweed from a flip-flop he found washed up on the shore and putting it on his foot (yes, he’s going around barefooted on the shore in cold weather).

Sea brings you the flip-flop – you wear it. Sea brings you a guy in a trunk – you make him train with your pupils.

Couple days back the sea washed up a whole bag of chips on the shore. Unopened. Shrimp flavoured.

Sea can be dangerous. Especially if you think that you’ve mastered it, and can handle any waves.

Look at the Master king of fishing, his pride got so big, like an overstocked boat, and it got toppled over by two shrimps and a marlin (and yes, Kiryu and Haru-kun used marlin in their heat action that fateful night).

The master king of fishing will also always complain about being too old or too out of touch, sometimes while actually doing some incredible feats of strength or ingenuity.

He’s not Komaki who’s always 10000% sure of himself, or the lady white lotus. The Master king of fishing has his ego in check, and also is just generally mildly annoyed with everything, including himself. But he’s still taking it all on!

Diversity win, found family footage, Haru-kun is living the life. He really missed fishing since coming to the big city. Kiryu is having a good time too! He likes to see people thriving.

– After this night Haru-kun and Kiryu will be acting like good friends when meeting each other, talking about life, the boy laughing, Kiryu smiling to him. The Seashell monarch will come to work for Majima Construction; part time, because you need to throw them in the water every so often. You wouldn't understand.

And someone from Majima Construction will definitely hear the boy saying with shiny eyes that the fabled date was "the best night of his life". They stayed up until sunrise!

And maybe Haru-kun ended up having a little crush on Kiryu, alright. But it's the parental figure projection, Kiryu just emits this warm safety. Also Haru-kun got a profound connection to some of the fishing people, while being out with him.

Haru-kun with a dreamy face like he’s smitten: I’d like to have a dad like this… Someone: a daddy? Haru-kun: no.

And instead of romantic scenarios in his head it’s “playing catch”, “visiting my graduation”, but in pink filter.

(He got a tsundere rival or something on the night of the fishing quest. It's a whole thing. The rival is the previous possible pupil of the Master of fishing king, who left him, because he has his own fishing path. And that night he came back all powered up with unknown techniques, some secret bait he conducted. Someone accidentally eats it in a fight and they figure out what it's made of.)

And, yeah, when you spend more than a couple of minutes around Kiryu, you learn that he emits the aura of safety and reliability.

– And Haru-kun got a sense of some drama going on between Kiryu and whoever-san from work that set Kiryu up on their date, but they didn't discuss it too deeply. It felt too raw to bring up, Kiryu-san was too sad, and being a Good Host Haru-kun took up the mission of cheering him up! First up on the agenda – not mentioning the dickwad-san.

– After this Kiryu picked up fishing again, for the first time since y0. Doing it alone was not fun, but he has friends now! They make plans easily. Haru-kun even casually stops by Majima Construction to drop off lunch for Seashell monarch, and say hi to Kiryu-san.

The whole family pointedly continues the lunch break, as if no one is listening in, passing the lighter back and forth. Like, four times in a row.

Only the first grandpa Musketeer gets their whole story correctly right away. He just takes things as they are. And what's better than two bros having a good old fishtime, amiright, boys? He used to fish with his bros, because it's in his dragon instincts to hunt, and eat the catch raw. Or fried, but like a creature. (No one even gets what he's talking about.)

"Dang, they sure are eating eachother up with the looks." "Didn't know Kiryu-san was a cradle snatcher." "He may be just looking young, hosts these days look younger and younger." "You sure know a lot about hosts." "You bet I do." "Focus on the problem at hand, guys. We're observing a bright blue sky before the storm."

And eat your catch raw. Or fried.

(First Musketeer grandpa hits it off with the Seashell monarch, they're the best duo)

– Oh, and then on one of Haru-kun's visits the construction site gets attacked! And he is stuck inside, and gets to show off their heat action with Kiryu (Live fishes are provided by the Seashell monarch. Don't ask).

a/n: at this point we were so attached to Haru-kun, that we felt sorry for dragging him into all this drama.

But he can stand his ground, after he found it, back at the sea.

Majima will probably not be crawling out of his office for this fight, he's in one of his moods. But getting wind of Kiryu and the host fighting together? The "see you next week, Kiryu-san!"? This is, like, the most terrible insult. And Majima is totally not overreacting.

And Nishida is still angry at him. This worsens the sentiment, everyone’s abandoned him. Poor old Majima, the ugly bastard with a bad attitude.

But before he spirals into a hole, Kiryu, being who he is, decides to invite Majima to go together with him and Haru-kun.

As in, go fishing on the pier at the dead o'clock in the morning, see the sunrise over the waves. Maybe then he'll calm down. Breath in the breeze. Get smacked in the face by the fish. Healing experiences.

But you gotta get him there first. He will be arguing with Haru-kun's rival over the bait later, no problem. But getting him to the place might require some force. Maybe a kidnapping. A false work assignment, Nishida can help arrange it. The assessment will be rest.

Kiryu, opening the trunk of the car on the pier: here’s the rubber gloves, Majima-san Majima, quietly: what the fuck Majima, standing there wearing rubber boots and a panama hat: what the fuc k Majima, finding a spinning in his hands: no, sincerely, what the fuckKiryu: be vigilant, our opponents have already fished out a squid!

It is, once again, the deadass in the morning, The hottest fishing hour. And it’s all taking place after Majima said a bunch of ugly words to Kiryu. Get fished, idiot.

– So, ended up being Majima and Haru-kun’s rival versus Kiryu and Haru-kun. And now Majima is on full alert, he’s gonna slay (he can’t fish at all).

There’s several early morning regulars fishing on the pier, they are not to be disturbed, and so complicate the challenge. So they all gotta be quiet, and lots of inner voice dialogs happen, uul on Gintama-stile.

So, they all fish, make breakfast, and nearly get busted by the police, because apparently one cannot make fiers in the beach. They have this conversation by another, unrelated fire crackling nearby.

Because yes, this was a targeted raid. Tokio police ain't having any yakuza bullshit here on the beach. Anyone wearing a panama hat is a danger to society.

Actually they got a tip off from the fishing club members that are going to go against Haru-kun and his rival in the upcoming competition (the boys are totally gonna win).

And oh, Majima if IN after this. He finally got the abridged version of previous events, but now there’s focus on the rivals backstory, and Majima is invested. He’s giving rival the Talks. Majima touch (it works wonders). Kiryu: ain’t you supposed to be on our side? Majima: the sea has no sides! my boy will kick yall’s ass!

– Majima in a panama hat, rubber boots, and a fishing vest over his naked chest. Kiryu in a horribly patterned sweater, overalls, and a vest, lookin like the peak dad.

Kiryu in this outfit totally kills any semblance of sexiness Haru-kun saw in him, but Majima, on the other hand, gets very amazed.

– Majima is suddenly nodding to some of the Master king’s of fishing annoyances like an old man.

Sea pollution and trash suck. Draftes, youngsters, taxes are all a plague. Don’t get it wrong, the Master king of fishing doesn’t pay taxes. But he will complain about them. Who even comes up with that, Anhuman. Unbelievable torture of the most abstract level. Removed from real life. Majima, who invented taxes:

Also yeah, they both are big on environmental protection too.

The Master king of fishing cleans up the beach sometimes, and gets his pupils to do so too. Maybe they organise a group with the locals for that, after they get in trouble for cleaning up (because ofc they do).

– Think about Haru-kun coming up to Majima on that fishing trip all: you work with Kiryu-san, right?.. so… Majima-san…… you might know the person who tried to pull that cruel joke on him, with the inconsiderate gift……… it worked out alright, yes, but to think there are people in this world who’d do something like this………… to Kiryu-san here…… the most thoughtful and kind person ever…………… terrible to see people like him sad………………… so, you know someone at your company that can do that? this kind of thing?.......... I’m just asking… for no particular reason…… just want to have words with them…………………Kiryu-san can forgive, but us, his friends, should watch out for him……… so, you know… a little hint.

Haru-kun being ready to kill for Kiryu after knowing him for a couple of days is not at all surprising, it’s logical even. They got into a Situation together! In an abundance of situations, more situations happen only in a cult- or a scam substory.

So yeah, with all this guit building up, Majima rechannels his frustrations into the poor rival. He’s overcompensating, by getting the boy more courageous about approaching Hare-kun. Majima gives him a whole inspirational speech, that is obviously a little too specific.

They sit on the pier, a bit away from Kiryu and Haru-kun, Majima goes off on his anime inspirational monologue about courage and acceptance, while looking at Kiryu. Everything is basked in the warm golden light of the rising sun.

And it’s a nice start of the day, for all of them.

– before / navigation / next

So this is an open question. And it's one I've struggled with.

How free is too free? I adore freedom. And I believe freedom leads to prosperity. However. Having said this, I realize the freedom we have we are not enjoying. We are suffering from it.

Our boarders are open

We're being invaded slowly with not nearly enough deportations including allowing known terrorists into our country.

Our education system is more concerned about teaching our kids to have sex and cut off their body parts, then they are teaching them actual academics.

Communists run rampant, indoctrinating or youth into an ideology that there is no truth but power

We can't even properly elect officials to public office because the heads in power do more to keep people out than they do to let them in

Our leaders abuse their power to propagandize us into war and servitude as well as national strife and division.

We've let people get elected to office that hate this country and want to burn it to the ground.

We've demonized nationalism and instead promote national hate, racial hate, and cultural hate.

So again. What the hell do we do here? Our nations are crumbling under the weight of those that scalped our freedoms. Communists, Socialists, Marxists, and lazy entitled shits that think 40hrs is an agonizingly long work week. Where's the off ramp? Because I want to find out before violence becomes the only possible solution. We're well aware the radicals on the left would physically purge anyone to the right of Stalin given the chance to do so unopposed. So as a moderate left libertarian wtf do I even do? Talking sense into people seems to be doing nothing because people further left than me don't listen to reason.

It's always, oppression this, racism that, colonization this, diversity (but only for one ethnicity) that. How exactly do I NOT be black pilled at this point? Things are not getting better. The outright cheering for the Hamas attack by hundreds of thousands if but millions globally including in Western nations was deafening. What were they cheering for? The slaughter, rape, beheading, and torture of civilians specifically women and children. And even IF Hamas were not lying scumbags, which they are, how is killing civilians and tourists ok? Pretty sure the phrase is, "And eye for an eye makes the whole world blind".

We are not winning. Communists are winning. Globalists are winning. Radical islam is winning. And do you know what all three groups have in common? Their hate for liberals and neo liberals after their usefulness is up. You know what else they have in common? Their hate for the "peasant" class and LGBT people, the ladder of which, they make sport of throwing them off rooftops or beheading them.

At this point? I don't know what the point is. We're f*cked. And short of burying our morals and stooping to their level, I don't see a win here. We will crumble. We will collapse. And we will not win.

So again I ask. What the hell do we even do here? Just "live our lives" until the dictators and sharia law roll around? I honestly don't know.

Tw // Noncon

Imagine Mikasa is a village girl, like in middle eastern if that makes sense. I dunno, i watched old bollywood movie lately and all i can think about is Mikasa wearing saree.

She’s the prettiest girl in village and just turn to eighteen, everybody told her that she should get marry as soon as possible since in village that take 80-90s time set young marriage is a common thing. But Mikasa didn’t want to get married yet, she still want to have fun with her youth.

So one day a bunch of city boys come to the village for hunting. They met the villagers and honestly everything goes well untill one of them, Eren saw a beautiful deer (Mikasa) near the pond. She catches his attention. Eren want to know her so he asked the headman about her. He gave Eren her address, introduced him to her parent, and lastly he make a move to Mikasa.

Eren is an attractive man with his long brown hair with pretty green eyes and tan skin. He also super rich, and maybe that’s why he so childish and arrogant. He’s spoiled brat. And Mikasa didn’t like him.

He do everything to wins her heart but Eren failed, he try to act nice but Mikasa still disgusted with his rude behavior. Soon he must go back to the city but he still want to get her. No matter his eyes close or open he always see Mikasa, he feel anxiety at night thinking that he’ll never met her again when he left, or she already got married with other man when he come to the village again.

He likes her, he love her, really love her, crazy over Mikasa and turned he become obsessed with her.

One night there’s a party at someone’s house so everybody go there except Mikasa, she go to wheat barn because today she play with her friends there and Mikasa just realized that her earrings is missing when she got home. The wheat barn located pretty far in the woods. Mikasa thought she was alone untill she hear the door being closed and when she turned her body she saw Eren walk over her with evil laugh. His friends wait outside make sure there’s no one will come here and kept the door closed so Mikasa can’t run away.

And i guess we all know what happen next when Mikasa awake with messy hair, puffy eyes, and her clothes torn apart meanwhile Eren woke up early, he already wear his shirt and pants back then smiling like he just through the most happiest thing that he ever feel. There’s a rule where you must marry with the boy who take your virginity.

And that’s the story how Mikasa lost her innocence.

Thanks to Bollywood movie that inspired me for this snippet. Istg i feel goosebumps while watched it shshhs. Like wtf, i like this song the melody is cheerful and catchy but turned out the lyric is about rape… but the film is so good.

Black Wedding

Moving on to the last episode!

With that said, I googled this show today and, apparently, there is a second season coming out this year, which means that this one will probably end on a cliffhanger and nothing of consequence will be resolved 😢 Now, while I did enjoy this show immensely, I am very sceptical that it can hold out for another 10 episodes. Most of the fun here was the character expositions. The demon hunt itself has been very boring (and the "black wedding" and Vlach witchcraft turned out to have absolutely nothing to do with the actual plot) so I am not convinced they have enough here to keep me hooked for another season.

But let's see. So far, this drama has exceeded all my expectations (which were admittedly pretty low to begin with) and it might just continue to do so.

***

I take it the exorcism didn't go well?

Having the kid go full evil and not being saved would be a very appealing twist, ngl, but I doubt they had the guts to go there.

***

I knew he was just a lackey.

Such a beautiful man but such a pathetic character. It kills all the attraction.

Anyway, he's reporting to a woman? Is this Vesna? Or someone else? Am I wrong about the aunt?

Lovely puppers, though. Pity they mutilated their ears.

***

LOL, she's losing her everloving mind.

Much scarier than demon masks and poor attempts at CGI.

***

Is this a dead body?

Father Tihon's dead body?

***

LOL, she's speaking in tongues now.

I am so unable to take this seriously.

***

I think the only possession/religious horror movie that ever truly scared me has been The Skeleton Key. Truly unparalleled and terrifying. Everything else is just play-pretend in comparison.

***

I love that the best insult even a demon can come up with for a woman in this show is "whore" 🙄

***

LOL, here comes this moron to ruin the exorcism.

***

LOL, he literally rescued the devil 🤣🤣

I love it, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving asshole.

***

LOL, did you come to kill the child, or did you too come to rescue the devil from exorcism?

***

LMAOOOOOO

Shouldn't have interrupted that exorcism, eh? 🤣🤣

I am having so much fun! This is why I always cheer for the devil in these things.

***

Is Saruman genuinely here to really fight the devil?

Like... him not turning out to be an actual force of evil would be the biggest plot twist of all for me in this show.

***

LMAO, if you are the one with the brain cells here, then neither God nor the devil can help us 🤣🤣

***

I knew he would return home to find her dead.

I just imagined it would be self-inflicted.

***

Vesna?

Seems a bit too young, though. But she might have sold her soul in return for eternal youth or something, idk.

***

NOOOOO, LEAVE PETAR ALONE

***

WTF. Didn't they say the devil skipped her?

***

OMG IT IS VESNA!

THE SAME ACTRESS AND EVERYTHING! AGED NOT A DAY IN 50 YEARS!

And I was wrong about the aunt 😔

***

So, he is a devil worshipper too.

***

So, she's been the Black Duke all along?

Disappointed. I had hoped Ida would be it.

***

WAIT, SHE BECAME A NUN?

Smh. Let women be sexual and feminists and atheists and NGO activists without confining them to a nunnery in the Year of Our Lord 2024 😭

*** The goddamn doctor is also devil worshipping 😒

***

So... another mass shooter?

***

WTF SHE'S ALIVE???????????????

***

Anyway.

Yeah, nothing got wrapped up. Yeah, massive cliffhangers abound. Second season is inevitable 😔

HCS for the NRC staff with a child Fem MC who behaves like Klee uwu

The title says it all-

Also, I'll make it a little more

f a n c y-

And I'll make this gender neutral, hope you don't mind! ^^

TWST adorable but chaotic child, s/o (Klee) (Platonic)

Dire Crowley

Oh sevens-

Now, now, he knows you don't mean it-

he wants to believe-

But-

You know-

Aiyah-

You create a giant mess no matter what.

He tries his best to steer you out of trouble

But then again, Crowley can't help but fall to victim to your adorable face,

and actually, most of the time it's unintentionally from both you and him

mostly-

You just thought he wants to hang out,

and you're elated when he does so!

But... it might end with an explosion...

Correction, explosions.

But, regardless, you're his little s/o,

and he can't deny you that you don't give joy in his life <3

Divus Crewel

You

Drive

Him

N U T S-

How can such an adorable child,

cause this extraordinary amount of mess in one day???

How-

Divus is like a strict mother,

always reprimanding and nagging you to stop.

But, he knows you don't really mean it.

Sometimes, you didn't even know that could happen.

And how could he stay that mad with those adorable little puppy eyes?

He couldn't.

Well, he won't fall victim when you suggests something dangerous to do.

No puppy eyes.

You won't fool him.

But alas, you're his precious little pup at the end of the day.

Anyone who dare try to put you in harms way,

he would take care of them promptly,

or wait for that instant karma of yours to trigger.

Explode them into the oblivion, little precious pup <3

Mozus Trein

He's so done-

absolutely-

he's this old, come on now-

And he's got three kids, what did you expect.

All he can do is just watch the chaos unfold,

as you jump around, completely oblivious of the troubles you have caused.

He reprimands you, but you can tell slowly, he's losing it and he's about to give up.

But, he can't really, right?

You are still a child,

how can he expect you to know anything.

And he can't really give up on you when you keep staring at him with big, sparkling eyes every time you show him a crayon drawing of you, him and Lucius.

He can't give up on you.

He lets you play with Lucius, so long as you don't leave wherever Trein is.

He looks up from his papers and...

And.... Lucius looks so done as you cuddle him and coo about how cute Lucius' paws are.

Sigh, you really are a troublesome child to deal with, aren't you?

Ashton Vargas

Honestly,

has no idea wtf he's doing-

The minute he's not around and he comes back within another minute,

BOOM there's explosions and students screaming everywhere.

Well,

Like-

Dang-

He can't really say "damn" unless he wants Divus to frickin smack him with his stupid stick-

But regardless, Ashton still remains as a cheerful father figure to you,

And boasts to you about his muscles,

and that you should try coming with him to fly on brooms!

Just... make sure not to cause an explosion behind you.

It's survival of the fittest when it comes to taking care of you,

who knows what will happen wen you're around.

Explosions? Fires? Arson-

Who knows!

But usually no one gets SERIOUSLY injured.

So, all is fine!

Just remember kiddo, you're his number one besides himself! <3

Sam

Oh my-

Oh dear-

This can't be good-

Honestly did not expect a cute child like you,

to be the cause of all the explosions behind you.

Are you a child???-

He knows you don't mean it,

but it's kind of unsettling to him that you seem unfazed by the explosions behind you..

But, you're still a child, maybe you don't know..?

He hopes that's the case-

Sam himself is still learning how to handle a kid,

and you are like-

God level difficulty-

Because you are just

c h a o t i c

Much like him but you're way more than that.

He tries his best to nag at you to stop,

but ultimately can't resists your puppy eyes.

You're too cute!

AHH HE CAN'T TAKE IT-

He usually shows you all the cool things his store has,

and what they can do!

And I swear he shed many tears- a tear when you drew a picture of you and him with so much youthful innocence in it.

Ahh, you are such a problematic, little monster child. He loves it <3

Stewart, Rod: my soundtrack to summer 2015

Stills, Stephen: Love The One You’re With Is Catchy, but the lyrics are questionable

Supertramp: I hunted for Breakfast In America for two years and it was worth every hunt

Sweet: I will never understand my two-month obsession with Ballroom Blitz when I was 15, but it was legit all I listened to

Temple Of The Dog: I keep confusing them for Nazareth

Ten Years After: somehow still relevant

The Police: wrote the theme of 2020 and everyone somehow forgot it was about a teacher resisting becoming a pedophile

The Ramones: playing all of their songs in a row wouldn’t take more than 2 hours

The Romantics: you don’t think you know them, but if you’ve seen Shrek 2, you have

The Who: If someone can explain Tommy to me, I’d be glad to hear it

The Zombies: I think they happened because of the 60s

Did you ship Glimbow from the beginning?

Short answer:

Ehhh... not exactly, but there are reasons for that

Long answer:

The first thing you need to understand about my first viewing of She-Ra is that I watched it with my kiddo from the start, right away as each season aired. This was very fun and I LOVED that I had it to share with her but it also meant that between answering questions and her randomly talking and interrupting I maybe got to hear only about 30% of the dialog and could only half pay attention. So while I got the general gist of what I was watching and enjoyed it, I missed A LOT on that first viewing.

The second thing you need to understand is that I was not involved in fandom at all. So I suspected Catradora would be a thing even before I watched (because I was a big fan of the works of Noelle Stevenson going in and no one is ever straight in those) and the only mystery there was whether it would be explicitly canon or just implied. But, beyond that, I was just vibin’ as the youths say.

Except… Many of my IRL friends were into the show and so I would occasionally see fanart or posts that they were interacting with. Shortly after Season One aired I saw art of Bowfuma and clicked on it surprised that people shipped Bow with Perfuma and not Glimmer, which seemed more obvious to me (mostly bc I loved both Bow and Glimmer as characters so much). What I found was people dogpiling on the Bowfuma artist, telling them that Bow was canonically gay, that the fight he had with Glimmer at the Princess Prom was him coming out to her and it was offensive to ship him with a woman, they needed to respect his canon sexuality.

Now you and I know now this was a load of absolute nonsense but, keeping in mind the two things above, at the time I read this in good faith and assumed I had just missed this coming out scene (not surprising as I was missing a lot bc of my small viewing companion). It made sense to me that Bow would gay given Noelle’s past works. So I mentally took Bow/Glimmer off my list of possible pairings and whenever Glimbow had moments that seemed shippy to me from then on I just assumed I was reading it wrong.

So fast forward to Season 5 when Glimbow confessed their love to each other as I was literally in the middle of answering a kid question and I looked up at the screen and said, “Wait. What the heck just happened???” And afterwards everyone was cheering Glimbow bi canon wooo and I was deeply deeply confused. So then I went back and rewatched first the last season and then the entire run of the show by myself this time so I could actually pay attention and realized, wow, OK so those people I had seen talking back during Season 1 were completely full of baloney and led me totally wrong here.

Which is why, when people say they didn’t see Glimbow coming, I understand that. If you’re not giving the show your full attention, it is easy to miss because a lot of it is subtle. Or if you went in, like I did, with your impressions colored by completely wrong information from fandom, that would be a factor too.

Where people lose me, however, is when they say it came out of nowhere. You didn’t notice it? That’s understandable. But that doesn't mean it's not there. Go rewatch it and pay attention this time because it’s baked into the entire show from the first moments, and it’s obvious.

Anyway, obviously, once I rewatched the series and finally understood WTF was going on, I decided to embrace the Glimbow lifestyle forever, the end.

The Order Season 2 (SPOILERS)

2x01

I like Blond Jack <3

GABRIELLE DUPRES IS IN JACK’S BED?!?!

That goddamn powder

“And you think all blonde girls are stuck-up skanks,” WOW GABRIELLE

Jack. Is. Dancing. For. Cheer. Squad.

It hurt me to see all the Knights not know each other and be in the same area

I don’t trust Professor Foley

A guy’s body just burned with bright light - are we sure angels don’t exist in The Order?

For reals though, who’s that witch in the corridor?

I forgot Brandon was in the cat ornament

Can I sAY i love Werewolves?

Deja vu, you say Hamish? I WONDER WHY.

The Knights taking down those acolytes gives me so much satisfaction

“Stuck-up skank,” Dammit Gabrielle

Huh, a body disguised as a statue? The rogue witch?

“Alien Superheroes,” Never change Randall <3

Jack transforming into his wolf form to get the others too is high-key awesome

DID YOU JUST REMOVE THEIR MEMORIES AGAIN, ALYSSA?!

OH, THANK GOD! I may hate you Alyssa, but thank you for returning their memories.

KILL THE ORDERRRRR

2x02

The cleaning returnsssss

“Youthful optimism,” I say this again, Randall, never change

Poisonous Kombucha - out of curiousity, why are people so obsessed by Kombucha?

More cleaningggg

Andddd Vera just cleaned it up for them

I love a good Star Wars reference

THE ADEPTI

HAM SANDWICH?!?!? RANDALLL

Randall awkwardly sitting there, my poor boy :(

No, Lilith making Randall even more sad :(

Does Jack have two hides now?

PROFESSOR CLARKE RETURNSSS

HAM RADIO?!?!? Omg RANDALL

That remembering potion made everyone go temporarily insane.

I LOVE PROFESSOR CLARKE, THEY DID DIRTY BY KILLING HIM

DAMN! ALYSSA JUST KILLED THAT ELLIE TAYLOR WITCHY PERSON

Jack being really sweet while Alyssa was upset just shows how wholesome Jack actually is after everything she did to him

2x03

HAMISH AND RANDALL. THE KISS AND THE ESKIMO KISS. NEED I SAY MORE?

LILITH AND NICOLE KISS TOO!

MAGIC HEIST!

Honestly, I get Hamish’s fear, I hate dolls, including ventriloquist ones.

Hamish making cocktails is life.

I had a feeling it wouldn’t work, mostly because it was only 20 minutes in

I’VE SEEN FROM ENOUGH MOVIES AND TV SHOWS THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SUMMON A MOTHERFUCKING DEMON! IT’S COMMON SENSE!

Randall drinking milk is so wholesome and sweet

Alyssa is now drinking the milk

Zecchia looks like me from my goth/alternative days

Can I say that I’m loving Lilith’s blue streaks in her hair? Looks awesome!

AND SOMEONE STOLE THE ARTIFACTS

2x04

Honestly, Zecchia is all of us on Tumblr

The Excidium sounds like a very bad thing.

CAPTAIN SEAN RENARD IS EMPEROR ROGWAN?!

aND aLYssa’s fears have been eaten

Gabrielle deserved that punch but maybe not from Alyssa...Maybe Nicole? OR BRANDON?!

Of course Vera knows that they have their memories back

NO! HAMISH! RANDALL!

SHE PUT HER HAND IN THE BLENDER?!

hONESTLY, I like Alyssa without her fears, she’s so much more fun

Alyssa saying goodbye to Lilith and Jack is actually really sweet, and made me hate her less...

NO! LILITH! FUCK!

2x05

Brunette Jack returns

Sending Jack and Alyssa, a werewolf and a broken witch, behind enemy lines is the worse idea ever - remember the necromancer incident?

“Remember when she murdered Kyle,” I love Randall so much

For some reason, I don’t trust these Prometheans

Randall walking in heels and succeeding is making my day

“Hold my purse,” RANDALL <3

Hamish being an absolute gentleman and holding out his arm for Randall to hold onto as he walks - i’M LIVING FOR THIS

THat juice is having a weird effect on Alyssa - STOP DRINKING IT!

A surprising team up between Randall and Gabrielle - I actually like it

“Dear God, help us,” HAMISH

I’m kinda shipping Orbin and Alyssa in a way

WTF?! THERE IS AN EYE IN THAT TREE!

Jack writing SOS on his forehead to tip Vera off was genius

2x06

CANNIBALISM!

This is why you don’t trust Foley

Alyssa is withdrawing

FUCKING BLOOD ATONEMENT?!?!

THEY’RE TURNING JACK INTO A TREE AND ALYSSA IS JUST FUCKING STANDING THERE!?

YES! YOU GO GABRIELLE!

Jack is still turning into a tree

Vera using their Egregore connection and her pain to her advantage - you go Queen!

And Jack is now cured with no help from Alyssa whatsoever

Gabrielle having a concussion and Randall taking care of her is goals <3

AND the Prometheans are dead

2x07

Poor Nicole :(

ALyssa is clearly not coping well

Hamish mentioning Cassie :(

Invoking Privilege = Beer Pong

Lilith is going to kill the boys for joining the Order

Orbin lives on Campus?!

I really hate Kepler - can someone kill her?

I really don’t like Alyssa or Salvador

I love Vera messaging Hamish for a drink

KARAOKE! <3

OMG HAMISH

OMG VERA

Dat KISS and SEX?!

ALYSSA! After sex etiquette does not include stealing their hair!

Gabrielle slapping Jack is so dramatic of her but I love it

But then Gabrielle has Randall’s shirt, so, I’m pretty sure they slept together? Or at least made out?

Jack going werewolf at Angus because he tries to keep Jack out of the Temple is hilarious

VERA IS ALIVE! THANK GOD!

Because Improvising plans always goes well, Jack

Alyssa, you are very selfish for drinking that tea even if it didn’t work

...How did Salvador choke hold a supposed werewolf against a wall?

Clearly, Salvador is the leader and playing the long game

Foley is eating a blue scarab? I wonder what that does...

The way Vera asks if “everyone is okay?” when they drag Foley in but looks at Hamish the entire time who briefly smirks is everything

I SWEAR TO GOD IF THIS IS ANOTHER ATTEMPT ON VERA’S LIFE AND SHE DIES, I’M SUING THE WRITERS!

2x08

Well, she’s alive

What exactly does Angus have against werewolves?

I really hate Angus at the moment

That poor man who I don’t know the name of..?

Quarantining? How on point for what’s happening at the moment...

Alyssa committing B&E

Adepti walking in is very sinister

A cameo from Ian Ziering playing himself

And Salvador hits Alyssa with the sleeping spell

TWO PRINCESS BRIDE REFERENCES?! YASSSSSS!

Ew. You just ruined your white shoe, Randall.

FFS ANGUS!

And Jason Priestley is a part of the Adepti too!

THEY ARE NEGOTIATING COMIC CON APPEARANCES!

JASON PRIESTLEY IS DEAD!

Kepler certainly changed her tune

OMG! THEY POWDERED ALYSSA!

Ian Ziering is now Jason Priestley?!

So, Alyssa does remember because Salvador protected her memories with the Risotto

2x09

And Alyssa has stabbed her hand

3 month time skip?

VERMISH?!

Randall and puppies <3

I still really hate Angus. Like he’s cute but also a dick

Magistratus though, they’re moving up in the ranks

Salvador cured a blind woman?

“You’re like a little sister,” Did Gabrielle just get friend-zoned by Randall?

“She kinda scares me,” Oh, Randall, all women should scare you :)

More sex

Hamish having Vera’s lipstick on him. I CAN’T BREATHE

The Plagues of Egypt. Pompeii. Tunguska. All caused by an apocalyptic eruption. Damn.

I STILL HATE ANGUS. AND SELENA.

Hame-Burger Helper. Jesus, Randall!

Randall and Jack trying to pull a fast one on Hamish, but hurting Hamish’s feelings as well. Of course he would help Lilith, you nimrods!

Plausible deniability! You’re failure in pre-law is coming in handy Hamish!

Kepler’s eye is now lizard like?

Alpha is in Salvador?

“Does anyone have classes anymore?” Gabrielle speaks the truth! Why aren’t you all in classes?

No, Gabrielle! YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS!

Vera and Salvador meet...this isn’t going to go well

Yes, Gabrielle! You are better than this! CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!

Wait, no! Midnight! I swear to god if you hurt her!

OMG! EW! But pretty cool effect of Vera’s fingers splitting open

Vera using a gun rather than magic is awesome - shows human weapons work just as well as magic

And Alyssa has disappeared...again.

2x10

“Simply slowed time,” Can time be slowed that simply, Vera?

“Cut the head off a snake?” In the words of many Supernatural and Superhero based TV shows and films I have watched, two more grow back in it’s place. *Cough* HYDRA *Cough*. Just saying...

“She’s just waiting to make an entrance,” That basically sums Gabrielle up if we’re being honest!

KYLE IS IN THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS?!?! For real though, Jedidiah Goodacre making a brief cameo as Kyle is awesome! I love him as Dorian Gray too!

Goddammit, Alyssa!

Gabrielle saying no to killing Jack is definite Character Development!

“Bring it,” Gabrielle standing up for herself!

“Open a passage to the demon realm,” Jack has finally hit the brick wall of oh god, this is all real? How is this all real? Jack only wanted to be a marine biologist

Okay, yeah, Midnight is totally riding Gabrielle around while Gabrielle is going through hell in the collective unconscious

Yaldson = Archaic; term for the son of a prostitute! I’m using that!

Tartarus eruption almost killing the knights...

...But they opened a portal to hell in Timber’s locker

Fuck, Alyssa knocked out Hamish and paralysed Vera with that stupid necklace that Salvador used against her

Randall chopping off the heads of demons that come through the portal <3

Midnight collapsing as Gabrielle

VERA DOESN’T HAVE HER POWERS?!?!?!

Jack poking Gabrielle with a stick :’)

gABRIELLE waking up briefly to tell Jack midnight wants to kill him before fainting again

Midnight not killing Jack and going with Jack’s plan instead. Character development from Midnight!

And Alyssa’s in the toilet

So, they need a witch not an owl, how did she get them mixed up?

Randall making use of the powder on Nicole

MAddox makes a reappearance?!

Randall kidnapping Kepler. Probably killing her for the ritual!

LILITH IS BACK! I HAVE BEEN WAITING HALF A SEASON GUYS!

OH, NO! HOW DARE YOU! YOU MADE LILITH A DEMON?! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!

oH, WELL, Alyssa got her just desserts!

Randall burying a body again

Oh, poor Gabrielle, she’s really upset and I’m upset with her. And Randall hugging her, I ship them so hard <3

I’m shipping Vera and Hamish too but I hope Vera doesn’t break Hamish’s heart...

And Jack carrying Alyssa with the Vade Maecum through the meadow and forest

with the song in the background...

MAGNIFICENT!

My 2020 in dramaland pt 1/4

I’m doing this at the start of december but I’m scheduling it to be posted on Christmas Eve, because that way I can say to everyone Happy holidays! Anyway, these are the Korean dramas I watched this year (listed in the order I saw them, NOT including my favorite dramas, those will have its own post!)

Love Alarm (2019): I don’t think I need to say what this was about lol if you haven’t seen it, chances are, you’ve heard of it. This is like all those Netflix shows I binge in one day, hate them but still can’t help but want to know what happens next and immediately need a season 2. Btw, this drama has the type of love triangle that I tolerate the most: the men who like the girl are also BFFs and never actually turn against each other, or at least suffer because they don’t really want to hurt the other. Bros before hoes! Kinda.

OTP: Jojo&SunOh. Hate that I love them tbh. But it’s mostly all thanks to him. To me, KimSoHyun’s chemistry with SongKang is the best chemistry she’s ever had with any of her co-stars. Well, maybe it’s a tie with Jisoo. Sorry Jang DongYoon.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Knowing there’s a second season coming. I NEED CLOSURE! Dramas should never have seasons, it’s cruel.

Do I recommend it? Uhm... Yes. But beware of old tropes like Noble Idiocy super idiotic, a FL that never speaks her mind and a whole lot of nonsense angst and pining. Hey, your average kdrama basically.

Crash Landing on You: You know she actually did crash land on him. Twice. I loved that they were so doomed, it was awesome. A forbidden and beautiful romance, they were all in for each other. He was handsome and cute I mean is HyunBin! but she was my favorite: brave, sassy, bold and a CEO. I hated when they shoot her. A pity they can only be happy in Switzerland, but I liked that about their ending. (I made a sort of review of the finale here)

OTP: Awesome chemistry, have you heard about all those dating rumors? But my favorite couple was actually the second lol. I will never forgive this drama for NOT giving them a happy ending. WTF? And that’s why it’s not in my fave’s list.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Apart from the love stories? North Korean soldiers from Captain Ri’s team. Bless them.

Do I recommend it? Oh, is there someone who hasn’t seen it? For real, go watch it. It’s a romcom for the ages. Lots of nonsense and cliches. Loved it, just *one* little flaw. ALBERTOOOO!

Witch’s Court (2018): A law drama. I never watch these types of dramas. Only did it because I had a crush on Yoon HyunMin at the time, my sister made me watch it (she also had a crush on him) and I thought there was going to be way more romance. Heavy subjects, a great mom’s love and a lot of prosecutor bs.

OTP: They were cute. Wish I’d seen more of them though.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Yoon HyunMin. But the FL was awesome in her own right.

Do I recommend it? If you like law/criminal dramas and barely a hint of romance, this one is great. And justice is served at the end.

Hospital Playlist: It was an adorable, peaceful and relaxing watch, not what you’d expect from a hospital themed drama. Very healing (no pun intended lol). And I loved the songs they played! The weird thing is that I kept forgetting about it, and that’s why it took me so long to finish it.

OTP: I do have one, but not the one everyone ships: Dr Yang SeokHyung and his resident played by one awesome Ahn EunJin. She confessed, he turned her down gently, Buuu!!!. Waiting patiently for S2 and HOPE their love story develops more. Dramas shouldn’t have second seasons!

Thing I enjoyed the most: The friendship of the five besties duh

Do I recommend it? Awww but of course! if you liked the Reply Series and slice of life dramas, you will like this one. Only 12 eps but they were as long as a movie lol

WHY (minidrama) 2019: Two good friends trying to cheer up their bff who just got dumped (without any explanation hence driving him slowly into a mental breakdown and an identity crisis) by going on a Jeju vacation. In the guesthouse they’re staying, they encounter two awesome, chill and fun noonas. What you’ll see here: a moving story about heartbreak and letting go, bromance and noona romance.

OTP: While most of the time the lead was in deep heartbreak thanks to his awful ex, there was a subtle romance developing while he was healing. At the end, there’s a time jump and he’s totally in the right state of mind to completely be with her and give love another try. Lovely ending.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Jung GunJoo! AKA Dohwa from Extraordinary You!!!

Do I recommend it? Of course! It’s an adorable watch. And it only takes like 2 hours of your time, maybe less, I don’t recall. Here, you can watch it on YouTube. Also, not really a fan don’t hate me lol but there’s Hwang In Yeob as the bff of the lead. And he has a very meaningful role.

Where Your Eyes Linger (minidrama): First Korean BL drama I’ve ever watched and I’m so glad that it was a wonderful first. Given the amount of time and resources I was expecting a lot less from this but they all did a very good job. Beyond my expectations, really. Wonderful acting and such an angsty friends to lovers romance that was delightfully done. I don’t usually give out scores to dramas but omg 10/10!

OTP: THEY HAD SUCH GOOD CHEMISTRY! UGH THE ANGST

Thing I enjoyed the most: Oh, everything!

Do I recommend it? Like BL dramas and want to see more of them in kdramaland? Then YES YES YES. A thousand times YES! The reason why it’s not on my favorites’ list is because I wish it was longer.

It’s Okay to not be Okay: It had been so long since I’ve seen a KSH drama. Since his alien days lol Plus, my sister is a huge fan. Horniest kdrama of the year, for sure. Which is hilarious since the message of the whole thing was more about family. From the first episode I was waiting for the OTP to have a steamy makeout and have sex HAHAHA You know, they actually delivered, so I was happy. My review about the ending HERE

OTP: Queen MoonYoung and her horny but super restrained caretaker, KangTae. Love them.

Thing I enjoyed the most: All hail Queen Ko MoonYoung! And the best hyung, SangTae.

Do I recommend it? Yeah. Let’s be serious for a moment lmao it was a healing drama and the ending was beautiful. A few things here and there didn’t make sense though. The mom’s comeback was crazy, but meh, what are dramas without crazy? lol I guess this is not on my favorite’s list because I wasn’t as obsessed as I wish I’d been.

Was it Love?: Mamma mia, here we go again, my my, I should have resist ya! it was ALL right there but the writer didn’t have the guts to do the story right. It COULD’VE BEEN Mamma Mia, but all the potential went to waste. THE POTENTIAL!! You want to know who the dad of her daughter is? The only dude she ever slept with, her only ex! Big surprise. The writer! There, saved you the trouble. My rant on the ending here

OTP: Well, it wasn’t the leads, that’s for sure. It’s the second leads (or was he the third lead and she the second?)who ended up together, or at least it was hinted at. The female lead had way more chemistry with the one dude she was never romantically linked to, which is hilarious to me. Ugh so much wasted potential...

Thing I enjoyed the most: Gangster dude and his son! Bless them.

Do I recommend it? Jesus, NO. DON’T. Watch Mamma Mia with Meryl Streep, instead. That’s gold and it’s what they wanted to try to do for a moment here. Still wondering how I managed to finish this...

Record of Youth: Another drama I can’t believe I actually finished. A handsome model transitioning into an actor and becoming the main provider for the family that never fully supported him and had to pay for the debt of the dad that always belittled his dreams. Underdeveloped characters, a female lead that was outshined by CAMEOS of other women(in her 1 minute scene, KimHyeYoon had more chemistry with PBG), plots that went nowhere and a terrible pairing that had very little chemistry. A ranting about the finale and my wasted time, HERE

OTP: who? Ah, yeah, I guess there sort of was one... The photographer friend and the sister of the jealous friend. Their ending was ambiguous.

Thing I enjoyed the most: PBG, he carried this mess on his back.

Do I recommend it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA No. Please, don’t watch it.

Private Lives: An orphan who was recluted to become a spy and works for a conglomerate that holds the power to decide the next president of Korea AND a con woman who wants revenge because her dad got sent to jail. They meet and fall in love and it’s the cutest thing ever but on their wedding day he misteriously disappears and... that’s it. Everything that happens after that makes zero sense. By the end I was more interested in the second leads.

OTP: TWO (but mostly the second couple) and the reason why I finished this drama at all.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Second leads. BokGi and Eduardo (yeah, I know that wasn’t his real name). I’d watch a drama of those two. Even if it was by the same writer.

Do I recommend it? Well... not really. LOL If you’re interested to know more about it, read my “recaps” of each episode HERE or read about the last ep here. You’ll understand about the same as if you were to actually watch it, but you will not waste your time. I hope? LOL

Start Up: A grandma with good intentions, a FL that lost it all as a kid, letters that weren’t really that genuine, a rich, cocky and petty jerk who wasn’t the ML (I mean by definition he had everything to be the male lead lol) and the actual ML (a genius who suffers from the biggest case of Impostor Syndrome I’ve ever seen). No one except for the FL mostly is honest. A time jump that was there just for the sake of angst and not quite done right. Also, making a business with your friends involves a whole lot of nonsense and drama. And a “love triangle” that drove the fandom to madness. And wait, the sister was the second female lead? She was more secondary than the secondary characters. This drama is seriously not what it seems at first lol

OTP: DalMi&DoSan. Adorable. The oly reason I finished this. From the moment they announced the cast and learned who the leads were, I knew I was gonna ship them. And that’s how I never get SLS lol

Thing I enjoyed the most: The answer to that question is HERE

Do I recommend it? Honestly, yeah. Just turn off your brain and never discuss it on social media. Binge it and move on with life. Not the best drama, but tbh not the worst. Well it is the worst by the writer lol Wow it sounds like I hated it, but it’s just that the fanwars really got to me haha and it’s all so recent, but I actually did love the love story and the grandma was a treasure.

2019 END OF YEAR KDrama Post

Wow, I haven’t made one in years. This is going to involve only dramas that came out in 2019 because I watched a hell of a lot dramas made prior to that and trying to figure out which ones will give me a headache.

DRAMAS WATCHED (In order of liking from most to least as opposed to pure quality; I am including if I’ve seen at least two eps AND feel it was enough to make up my mind; yes I realize that’s inaccurate, but that’s my list)

Extraordinary You - A philosophy and religion course AND a love story, and perfect at both.

My Country - a brutal, passionate, intense masterpiece of a sageuk. This is how they should be.

Crash Landing On You - the two eps that have aired brought my joy in watching kdramas back to me so vividly. This is everything.

Encounter - the perfect noona romance of the year for me. It seems to have little plot (powerful older woman, idealistic younger man) but the characters made me love them with an unhealthy amount of attachment and the mood is just perfect.

Haechi - smart traditional sageuk with a heart. This one will make you love it but also respect it in the morning :)

Queen: Love and War - Period, romance, mystery, helpless king and feisty heroine. It’s everything I love in one package.

Chocolate - if, like me, you like slow old-school melo with genuine grown-ups, this one is for you. Ha Ji Won and Yoon Kye Sang are both incandescent in this.

One Spring Night - a rare slice of life that worked for me so so much. I rooted for the main OTP like crazy (I did skip all the sister stuff though because boring to me.) It’s just a breath of fresh air.

The Tale of Nokdu - a rare funny youth sageuk that worked for me (except, ironically, for when they tried to be politics-heavy and serious about it.) Wonderful OTP, funny situations and just generally a delight.

Memories of the Alhambra - I can hear people screaming that I put this so high, but this is a faves ranking, not objective one, and I loved the unusual premise (it ultimately fell apart but it tried), and Hyun Bin’s performance was out of this world and the aaaaagnst and I enjoyed waiting for it each week until almost the end. That ending though!!!!!

Psychopath Diary - this is black comedy at its best and hysterical and smart and somehow got me invested in the hapless protagonist.

Hotel del Luna - clever and funny and smart. Hong Sisters largely back to form. I found the sageuk parts more engaging than modern ones, but what else is new.

Search WWW - some parts of it worked for me more than others, but it had solid writing and cool characters and some interesting OTP(s).

Love is Beautiful Life is Wonderful - has the weekend drama slowness but it lovely and fun.

When the Camellia Blooms - it was well made and the OTP was great and the acting top notch, I just don’t tend to go gaga for slice of life dramas, especially ones involving market ladies, much.

Flower Crew Joseon Marriage Agency - competently done, pretty period piece about nothing. It was enjoyable and forgettable at once.

Catch the Ghost - I put it as high as I did because the OTP really did have lovely chemistry but the story was a complete mess, the police work made no sense and the heroine’s character was like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Joseon Survival - I got about four episodes in and liked it a lot but then Kang Ji Hwan turned out to be a convicted rapist, they replaced the lead and I didn’t go back. I kind of want to because I liked what I saw and I am madly curious as to whether they changed the main character or just said he had a different face now, no explanation.

The Last Empress - pure inconsistent trash but so entertaining!

Vagabond - I made it eight episodes in before I realized that I would have as much fun staring at traffic. It’s a competently done actioner but without more, actioners never work for me, so this was a viewer/drama mismatch.

Arthdal Chronicles - incoherent, visually odd and boring, this is arguably the worst drama this year but I am giving it higher place because the cast really tries (even if it tends to fail because it has nothing to work with) and because it attempted something different even if it failed spectacularly. SO BAD.

Melting Me Softly - yes, my brain was fully melted by this soulless, charmless waste of Ji Chang Wook and my limited free time.

VIP - Any drama that makes the main mystery and thrust of the story who the husband cheated on his wife with is BORING. Seriously, this is not exactly Hercule Poirot. They wasted their cast - I have NO idea why Lee Sang Yoon agreed to be in this as a one note character and Jang Nara is playing a second scorned wife in a row but without even the entertainment value of her previous outing.

Abyss - aptly named. The best thing I can say about it is it didn’t offend me but oh boy was it dull.

Absolute Boyfriend - I loved the manga but it’s time to accept this can never be adapted well. They wasted the cast and that ending was just an insult on top of a trash heap.

The Lies Within - you cast that cast and deliberately have no romance. You are dead to me.

Woman of 9.9 Billion - competently made, but it’s everything I dislike - dour unpleasant bored people behaving as if they are in a particularly dreary art-house French movie but without any nuance or interest the latter came provide.

Love with Flaws - shrill, dumb, neither acted nor written by anyone trying at all.

Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung - objectively, it’s not the worst drama on the list, but it’s everything I hate in one package - willfully ahistorical but not cleverly so, male lead incapable of acting, the characters so one-dimensional they disappear, this purports to be a period drama but about as period as a space ship. God, I loathed this.

FAVORITE DRAMA

Extraordinary You - smart (so mind-bendingly smart) and moving and totally unpredictable and with so many things to say about free will and religion and self and nature of memory and narrative, this had an insane impossible premise and yet somehow managed to do it full justice and stick the landing.

WORST DRAMA

People with Flaws - this is different from least favorite because even if I loathed e.g., Rookie Historian or Woman of 9.9 Billion, I recognized some positive features; it’s just certain things really rubbed me the wrong way due to personal preferences. But this shrill hot mess of a drama is really everything that’s wrong with dramaworld.

FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER

Prince Yeoning, Haechi - fiercely smart, strong, tormented by the duality of his birth (royal father, servant mother) but not letting this distract him from his purpose, loyal to the bone, and with integrity nothing can shake but where you can feel that it’s not easy and that it costs him.

FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER

Eun Dan Oh, Extraordinary You - a go-getter who remakes the world (literally); smart, cheerful, strong, beautifully human. She feels so real and yet is larger than anything around her.

NEEDS TO BE MURDERED

Yi Seung Gye, My Country - a sociopath destroying lives in his quest for power and control, even the destruction of his own family barely gives him anything but momentary pause. He is the reason for the tragedy of MC.

FAVORITE SHIP

Eun Dan Oh x Haru, Extraordinary You - their love is literally universe and god-defying. They have loved each other as different people in three separate worlds (and counting), and have defied loss of memory and even loss of self as well as death, the end of worlds, and their god and the narrative and literally anything and everything, to be together.

Runner Up: Soo Hyun x Jin Hyuk, Encounter: tender and decent and his bringing her back to vivid life and the way they love and support and compliment each other.

Probably gonna be on list if doesn’t go haywire: Crash Landing on You: she is a SK heiress, he’s a NK officer, they have mad chemistry and so much potential.

NOTP:

Tae Mi x Morgan, Search WWW - love the actors, love the chemistry, love the characters in terms of the way they are written, but they are absolutely wrong for each other and there is no future of any sort but misery ahead. None of their issues are resolved but are swept under the rug. It’s a cautionary tale, not a romance. I did a long rant before so not repeating.

BEST SECONDARY OTP

Scarlett x Ji Hwan, Search WWW - they stole the shippiness in the drama for me. Cooky and adorable and noona romance done right.

FAVORITE SCENE

Haru’s final disappearance, Extraordinary You - the lights start to go out, the world literally dissolving, Eun Oh and Haru clinging to each other, with his telling her she was his beginning and the end. His name, the one she gave him, is the last thing he hears. In a drama full of amazing scenes the very gist of which was defying the very creator and universe and meaning of existence, this was the one that stayed with me the most.

BIGGEST CRUSH

Seo Hwi, My Country - I have a thing for deeply honorable, deeply tortured period badasses with long hair and a death wish (see Choi Young in Faith etc.)

BEST SCENE STEALER CHARACTER

Yi Bang Won, My Country - he started out as an antihero and ended up as arguably a tragic villain (or maybe still an anti-hero) but oh boy, was he magnetic and fascinating and sucking out all the oxygen whenever he was in the scene.

NEEDS A SEQUEL

Memories of the Alhambra - WTF ending was that?! All that misery and no real resolution?! Dammit!

TROPE THAT NEEDS TO DIE

Youth Sageuk - I hate most of them! They are anachronistic and dumb and honestly, what is the point of having fully modern people in period clothes? Just make a modern show and call it a day.

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT

Melting Me Softly - Ji Chang Wook’s first project back from the military was an unfunny, unmoving, pointless mess with not an ounce of genuine enjoyment despite the excellent pedigree of everyone involved in front and behind the camera.

Arthdal Chronicles - the makers made excellent Queen Seon Duk, Tree with Deep Roots and Six Flying Dragons. The cast was uniformly A grade. The result was an open-ended, boring, incoherent mess that looks like a bad sort of a drug trip and made about as much sense.

BIGGEST GOOD SURPRISE

Extraordinary You - I had zero interest in yet another high school drama with no actors I recognized. By the end, EY was an emotional brainy twister of a marvel that became my favorite drama of all time. I’ve been watching dramas for over 13 years so that’s saying something.

2019 DRAMAS I HAVEN’T SEEN THAT I MOST WANT TO WATCH

The Crowned Clown - I love sageuks and cast and it looks so smart and emotional

Angel’s Last Mission: Love - my next contemporary - I watched a little and loved what I saw

Fates and Furies - I saw a few eps and classic melo is so up my alley.

Clean with a Passion for Now - I like the cast and it’s a year of falling for hot weird bosses apparently.

Graceful Family - I love makjang and Im Soo Jung.

The Secret Life of My Secretary - downmarket Beauty Inside and I loved BI.

Love Affairs in the Afternoon - artsy adultery FTW

Item - I don’t like crime stuff but I am here for Joo Ji Hoon.

My Strange Hero - seems a little cooky but I am fond of Yoo Seung Ho.

MOST ANTICIPATED IN 2020

King: the Eternal Monarch - Lee Min Ho and Woo Do Hwan and parallel worlds and written by Kim Eun Suk. Yes Please.

I should probably make one for cdramas too though that one would be rather shorter.

Shenanigans on the High Seas

from @trensu, the blog that brought you WangXiantics, and from that other blog that just, like, screams a lot in the tags, comes the AU that we all desperately need because, frankly, we’re a little dehydrated from crying over the Nie Bros (drumroll please)

PIRATE AU!!!

You know you want it

the Zidian is Jiang Cheng’s ship. he inherited it from his mother, who was known as the Violet Spider, Scourge of the Seven Seas

before she retired, Captain Yu had two first mates she’d trained since childhood, Wen Qing and Luo Qingyang

after Captain Yu retired they got married and are now Pirate Wives with an-all female crew aboard the Yiling Matriarch

her bright red sails are just as feared as the purple sails of Zidian or the sable sails of Ghost General

any man who sets foot on the Matriarch best be prepared to lose it, and the leg it’s attached to

rumour has it that every carpenter from beijing to budapest pays the Matriarch a commission, for keeping them in work making peg legs, but that’s just a rumour

JC captains the Zidian alongside his first mate Jiang Yanli

the rumours about her say that she’s the reason there’s so little murdering done by those aboard the Zidian

but the crew know she once ordered a captive tied to a chunk of bait and thrown overboard near Shark Reef Bay

granted, she let the crew fish him back out after the first bite, and Jin Zixun never said another word about Captain Wei Wuxian until he was ransomed

but still

speaking of WWX, he captains the Ghost General, though far from doing any actual captaining he’s usually to be found up in the crow’s nest with a bottle of rum and his flute

luckily, his trusted first mate Wen Ning is more than capable of handling the General

his very favourite targets are the Jin Company’s slave traders, and most of his crew are former captives who chose to stay with him after their rescue

regardless of how drunk he might be, no one can fight like Captain WWX, except perhaps JC and JYL, they did grow up together after all!

because WWX was a foundling fished from the wreckage of a vanquished merchant ship by the Violet Spider at age 6 and taken to the island hideaway where her lover, former merchant sailor turned stay-at-home-dad Jiang Fengmian, is raising their two children

because this is a HAPPY AU DANGIT, and we deserve ONE AU where these two don’t traumatise their children

Captain Yu and JFM are in fact very, very happy together and raise little WWX together alongside JYL and JC

Captain Yu and JFM met when she raided his ship

he offered himself and all the gold aboard in return for his crew’s lives

she thought him rather striking and went about setting him up on a little island she knew, very out of the way, where she can visit as often as she likes

JFM is DELIGHTED by this turn of events, which he loudly denies has anything to do with Captain Yu’s famed skill with a whip

while JFM was settling into his sugar baby life, his crew were returning back to their home port to report to JFM’s business partner, Lan Qiren, that the Violet Spider had killed JFM and taken all their gold

LQR, who had secretly been in love with his best friend and business partner for years, declares the Violet Spider his ARCH NEMESIS and sets about trying to destroy her

when his brother and sister-in-law die and leave his two nephews in his care he ropes them into the feud

the Lan Brothers both join the merchant navy and are the very most eligible bachelors polite society has to offer

they hate all pirates of course but especially the unholy trio of Zidian, Ghost General, and the Yiling Matriarch

this makes it VERY awkward when Lan Wangji finds himself THROWN OVERBOARD during a terrible storm, rescued by WWX, and dragged aboard the General

at first, recognising the uniform, WWX keeps LWJ under his eye by tying their wrists together with a length of rope for absolutely no other reason definitely not cause he’s cute, nope, no sir

later, LWJ manages to snatch a sword and an EPIC DUEL ENSUES *cue he’s a pirate (main theme) from PotC here*

they’re in the rigging, they're sliding down the sails, they’re fighting up and down the deck

LWJ is HORRIFIED to realise at one point that WWX is laughing

even worse, he, LWJ, is having fun??? wtf he’s never had fun in his life how dare

after the fight ends in a draw LWJ and WWX come to an Understanding and have many deep and meaningful conversations as they sail back towards port

both of them fall madly in love of course, but Pirate!WWX and Midshipman!LWJ are just as emotionally dense as the OG varieties so there’s A LOT of pining

Seriously- so. much. pining

they probably battle a sea monster at some point because that’d be sick

finally, they arrive back at the port and WWX asks (sadly, because pining) where he should leave him and LWJ says (sadly, because pining) that any of the Gusu Cloud piers is fine

and WWX laughs because how funny! my dad used to be a merchant sailor for the Gusu Cloud Company

which is how LWJ discovers that the ‘dad’ WWX has been telling stories about for literal WEEKS is actually his uncle's now not-so-long-lost-love!because they are both Disaster Drama Gays™ they decide they simply MUST do this Right. After all, it’s an Epic Reunion™!!!

LWJ convinces his uncle to come out sailing with him (even though LQR has not boarded a ship since JFM was lost, cue sweeping nostalgic music and distant stare into montage of the two of them in their Youth)

they row him blindfolded out to the island where JFM and Captain Yu live and the moment LQR sees JFM it’s jaws to the floor.

there are tears

JFM puts his hands on LQR’s shoulders and says ‘my old friend. you never said’

they hug

it’s adorable

don’t roll your eyes it’s adorable and you know it

Captain Yu and LQR still Do Not Get Along

their Epic Rivalry™ continues but now it’s just morphed into them trying to outdo each other in displays of affection

JFM’s little island house soon holds more jewels, gold, fine silk, and artwork than half the royal coffers of europe

family dinners are a DELIGHT

JC freaking runs whenever his father hosts Captain Yu and LQR for dinner

because 1) god dad, you're so embarrassing, and 2) HE DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING THEY GET UP TO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS THANKS

JYL thinks it's sweet and loves seeing her dad so happy

WWX does the pirate-time equivalent of a bro fistbump with JFM, like, NICE.

LWJ is very quiet but secretly loves it because he, as we all know, is That Bitch

‘A wedding! I love it! drinks all round!’ – WWX, probably, when the three finally announce they’re getting married

the wedding is WILD

there’s a whole lot of dancing, WWX is in the thick of it of course

LWJ wants so badly to ask him to dance but he still hasn’t told him how he feels (because emotionally dense disaster gays, remember?)

he finally has to go outside after WWX somehow convinces LQR to dance a jig with him which means WWX has officially asked everyone to dance except him

he goes and sits in the tidal rockpool, and his billowy white shirt is all wet and see through when WWX comes stumbling out of the party calling for him

WWX sees LWJ silhouetted by an endless horizon of ocean and stars and dies. he's quiet for the first time in his whole life

then LWJ turns and sees him so of course WWX has to go down and talk to him. he may be a pirate but he’s not a barbarian (unlike some certain nies we could name but won’t he’s definitely not still salty about the arm wrestle incident with Captain Nie’s ‘little brother’ eh he’s not much of a fighter but he’s great with languages yeah right his wrist still hurts sometimes bloody barbarians)

‘ah lan zhan lan zhan! you aren’t allowed to run away; we haven’t had a dance yet. even your uncle danced with me surely you can’t say no!’ *pouts*

lwj.exe has stopped working

but of course he can’t deny WWX anything so he makes to head back inside

now wwx.exe has stopped working

because to HELL if he’s sharing wet LWJ in a see though white shirt with the rest of those imbeciles

‘ah, um lan zhan lan zhan we can hear the music from here just fine can’t we? let’s just dance right here?’

and of course LWJ says yes

so the two of them just dance together on the edge of the ocean, waves lapping over their bare feet

until a particularly big one knocks them flat (listen, it’s a trope for a REASON dagnabbit)

WWX ends up sprawled over LWJ’s chest and he’s laughing and apologizing

but LWJ is just looking at him, wreathed in stars, eyelashes so wet and glittering, the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen

WWX notices how still he is and they just pause for a moment and stare at each other

doesn’t really matter who kisses who but they are kissing and it’s wet and salty, there is sand in their teeth, and they absolutely do not give a flying dutchman

they don’t even register the cheers and catcalling until JC runs up and dumps a bucket of water over their heads

because dammit he hasn’t spent months running out of every room his parents and LQR are in just to watch his big brother pop his cherry get it on on the beach

the rest of the gang are all watching from the porch

WN and LXC look very awkward and embarrassed

JYL looks fond and is shaking her head

JC meanwhile is having a heated argument with WQ because there were bets on you see

WQ ‘pouring a bucket of water over them is cheating I’m not paying you one penny JC’

JC ‘I’m a pirate why on earth would you expect me to play by the rules pay up Captain’

WWX and LWJ sneak away while they’re all arguing

The General has one new crew member when she next sails out

ANYWAY married gay pirates wangxian having adventures AU is what we’re saying

Also for your consideration other delightful Pirate!AU options include:

naval officer!lwj chasing down pirate!wwx (think norrington/sparrow if Disney weren’t COWARDS);

high society!lwj in love with blacksmith-turned-pirate!wwx (the Elizabeth Swann/Will Turner dynamic, except with Swann in the forge fight because we said so);

davy jones!lwj pining for calypso!wwx (carving your heart out = chest brand anyone? seriously, just imagine LWJ setting foot on dry land for the first time in 13, 16, 10 YEARS, playing the song he’s composed for his love and WWX IS NOT THERE!!!!)

i just wanted to ramble ‘bout undertale... hhhhhhhh.

aka me just describing the whole plot of the game... this one’s just the ruins tho cuz i don’t think tumblr would let me type out the whole game’s plot in detail.

i understand if y’all don’t wanna see this so it’s under the cut.

soooo uh. the opening “cutscene”/whatever you call it is just a few images with text explaining the events prior to the game.

“long ago, two races ruled over earth: humans and monsters. one day, war broke out between the two races. in the end, the humans were victorious. they sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell. many years later . . . mt. ebbot. 201X. legends say those who climb the mountain never return...”

the last frames show a human who you’d at first assume to be the player character climbing the mountain and falling in; however, it is not the player character (frisk), as the human in the intro only has one stripe on their shirt, while frisk’s shirt has two.

anyways after that you get presented with the start menu (it’s track is creatively entitled, you guessed it, start menu!) with instructions on how to play the game. once you start, you get to name the fallen human.

now, this is honestly kinda ingenious. it doesn’t say “name your character”, it doesn’t say “what is your name?”; no, it says “name the fallen human”.

there’s also responses to some specific names.

like if you name yourself “fight” (or something like that) or “mercy”, the response is “that’s a little on the nose, isn’t it?”, though the name’s still allowed to be used.

naming yourself one of the main characters’ names (or however much can fit) also elicits special responses, and most of them aren’t allowed to be used, but there’s a couple instances of them being usable. like papyrus’ name is too long so if you enter “papyru” as your name the response is “I’LL ALLOW IT” and the name’s allowed to be used. the names “blooky” or “napsta” (as in napstablook) are also allowed, with the response being “... (they are powerless to stop you)”. my favorite is either naming yourself “flowey” or “temmie” tho.

the name “flowey” gets the response “i already CHOSE that name” (flowey had the ability to reset/save/etc. before frisk) with it not being allowed, while naming yourself “temmie” gets the response “hOi!!!” as a reference to the species of temmie (temmie is best undertale character /hj) and is allowed. it used to make tem flakes heal more but that was removed for some reason.

ANYWAYS the game starts after you name yourself (the “true name” is chara, which elicits the response “the true name”, so i’ll be referring to “the fallen human” as such). you start out with your armor as the bandage and your weapon as the stick... both of which have 0 of their corresponding stat.

in the next room, you meet a talking flower, who introduces himself.

“howdy! i’m flowey! flowey the flower! hmm, you’re new to the underground, aren’t’cha? golly, you must be so confused! someone oughta teach ya how things work around here. (oop i’m listening to the undertale ost and finale started playing-fitting-) guess lil’ old me will have to do? ready? let’s go!”

you then find yourself in a battle. on the bottom of the screen, there’s two things: your LV, which is 1 at the time, and your hp, which is 20/20. in the middle of the screen is the bullet board, with a red heart inside. flowey’s above the bullet board. oh, and in battles, everything’s black and white other then the heart and some attacks.

“see that heart? that’s your SOUL. the very culmination of your being! your SOUL starts off weak, but grows stronger with LV. what’s LV stand for? why, LOVE, of course! you want some LOVE, don’t you? *he winks* down here, love is spread through little, white... “friendliness pellets”. go on! collect as many as you can!”

now, here, there’s two options: run into the “friendliness pellets” (which makes this part go by faster) or dodge them, which elicits some funny responses from flowey.

“hey buddy. you missed them. let’s try this again, shall we?”

“is this a joke? are you brain dead? RUN. INTO. THE. BULLETS friendliness pellets.”

“you know what’s going on here, don’t’cha? you just wanted to see me SUFFER. who would pass up an opportunity like this? DIE.”

running into them elicits basically the same thing as the last response, though he states that “in this world, it’s kill or be killed” first. i also don’t remember what he says if you run into them cuz i always dodge them... cuz it’s funny...

you find your SOUL surrounded with the “friendliness pellets”, and it seems that you’re doomed to death... but when they hit you, instead of harming you, they heal you.

flowey gets a confused look on his face before he’s hit with a fireball and goat mom toriel appears!

“what a terrible creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth. do not be afraid, my child. i am toriel, caretaker of the ruins. i pass through here everyday to see if a human has fallen. you are the first to have come here in a very long time.”

she also says some other stuff but i don’t remember it so. :shruggie:

anyways, you follow her into the next room, where you find a four-pointed star; a save point.

“the shadow of the ruins looms above, filling you with determination. (HP fully restored).”

this is your first opportunity to save, which is interestingly enough not just a game mechanic; it’s an in-universe feature as well.

(okay wtf undertale ost on shuffle, it played temmie village and then tem shop immediately after, wtf???)

anyways, toriel guides you through (read: does for you) a few puzzles, before you find yourself in a long hallway, where she says she wants to test your independence by making you walk to the end of the hallway by yourself.

she’s just hiding behind a pillar at the other end of the hallway.

toriel says that she has a few errands to run, and gives you a cellphone before leaving. you can get some funny calls if you do wait, and at the end of it all her phone gets stolen by a dog. despite this, she still calls you when you leave the room. she does actually have special dialogue, though: “My apologies. A strange dog kidnapped my phone.”

anyways, you travel through the ruins, getting encounters with the enemies (froggit, whimsun, loox, vegetoid, moldsmal, migosp), who you can all spare.

i forgot the dummy battle tutorial, basically toriel has a training dummy as a battle tutorial.

things you can do:

talk to it: this makes the battle end, and makes toriel seem happy with you. it’s technically the right thing to do but the others are funnier.

fight it: this kills the dummy, though it doesn’t give you exp, and thus you can still get a true pacifist route.

flee: you run away from the battle and toriel says that it’s a good strategy... but it’s just a dummy, it can’t hurt you and doesn’t seek revenge.

do nothing: if you do nothing for eight turns (including missing attacks), dummy “tires of your aimless shenanigans” and leaves. toriel is confused by this, but continues on as if nothing happened.

whatever you do elicits a different response in a future mini-boss’ pre-battle dialogue, so. yeah.

ANYWAYS!

the ruins’ mini-boss is napstablook, a ghost who, according to themself, “usually comes to the RUINS because there's nobody around”.

to spare them, you need to cheer three times; this makes them show you their “dapper blook” trick, which is a top hat made of tears. they stop attacking to await your response, and if you flirt or cheer, the encounter ends.

also random fun fact: just like with the dummy, killing napstablook doesn’t give you exp, and thus a true pacifist route doesn’t end.

“FIGHTing Napstablook causes them to remind the protagonist that they are a ghost and therefore unable to be killed; they were only lowering their HP to be nice. They then vanish, and the protagonist suffers a loss of one "experience point" (not the same as EXP). This action does not abort the True Pacifist Route since it does not accrue any EXP.”

(x)

oh yeah, did i mention that EXP and LV don’t mean experience points and level?

flowey was actually correct about LV being LOVE. however, it’s an acronym, namely for level of violence. EXP, on the other hand, is an acronym for execution points.

continuing through the ruins and doing some puzzles (one of which includes several holes you must fall through to find a switch, one of which has the faded ribbon, a piece of armor, in it), you can get the toy knife, a weapon, before heading to toriel’s house, where she’s made you a butterscotch-cinnamon pie.

you see, earlier on in the ruins, she asks if you prefer butterscotch or cinnamon (if you’ve reset/loaded a save from after this point, she actually remembers your answer), before asking if you’d turn up your nose at the sight of the other/if you have allergies. there wasn’t enough of both at the store or something along those lines if i remember right.

anyways, you go to sleep in your room (yes, you have your own bedroom and yes, that is pure, and yes, toriel is the best), and she puts a slice of the pie on the floor for you to collect. it’s a healing item that restores all your hp, but i’d recommend saving it honestly.

toriel’s reading in the living room, where you can talk to her and either ask how to leave, or just talk to her. you do have to leave for the game to progress, though.

after asking her how to leave like three or four times, she goes downstairs and talks to you before fighting you, asking you to prove that you’ll be able to survive.

you see...

“Every human that falls down here meets the same fate. I have seen it again and again. They come. They leave. They die. You naive child... If you leave the RUINS... They... ASGORE... Will kill you. I am only protecting you, do you understand? ... go to your room.”

the fight with toriel is one that people often mess up on, though the strategy for her fight is actually foreshadowed by an npc froggit earlier on in the ruins.

many people think that you have to weaken her, or just end up killing her because they don’t see how else to do it.

so, what does happen if you kill her? well, it depends.

if you attack her once she stops attacking:

“You... ... at my most vulnerable moment... To think I was worried you wouldn't fit out in there... Eheheheh!!! You really are no different than them! Ha... Ha...”

on a neutral route:

“Urgh... You are stronger than I thought... Listen to me, small one... If you go beyond this door, Keep walking as far as you can. Eventually, you will reach an exit. ... .... ASGORE... Do not let ASGORE take your soul. His plan cannot be allowed to succeed. ....... Be good, won't you? My child.“

on a genocide route:

“Y... you... really hate me that much? Now I see who I was protecting by keeping you there. Not you... But them! Ha... ha...”

fun fact: until today my dumbass though that “them” was referring to chara and only just realized that it’s referring to the monsters further in the underground.

and now, it’s time for flowey (slash indicates a break in the text).

on a pacifist route (where you don’t kill anyone):

“Clever. Verrrryyy clever. / You think you're really smart, don't you? / In this world, it's kill or be killed. / So you were able to play by your own rules. / You spared the life of a single person. / Hee hee hee... / I bet you feel really great. / You didn't kill anybody this time. / But what will you do if you meet a relentless killer? / You'll die and you'll die and you'll die.Until you tire of trying. / What will you do then? / Will you kill out of frustration? / Or will you give up entirely on this world...... / and let ME inherit the power to control it? / I am the prince of this world's future. / Don't worry, my little monarch, my plan isn't regicide. / This is SO much more interesting.”

on a genocide route (where you kill everyone, exhausting the kill counter until the “but nobody came” message appears):

“Hahaha... / You're not really human, are you? / No. You're empty inside. Just like me. In fact... / You're Chara, right? / We're still inseperable, after all these years... / Listen. I have a plan to become all powerful. / Even more powerful than you and your stolen soul. / Let's destroy everything in this wretched world. / Everyone, everything in these worthless memories... / Let's turn 'em all to dust.”

(note that by “chara” i mean “whatever you named the fallen human”)

and that’s it for the ruins.

uh. yeah.

sorry for rambling about undertale so much on main, i love it too much.
