in which Sanji is in Shells Town when Zoro eats the rice ball off the floor
It isn't often that Zeff's plans to get rid of him involve actually making Sanji leave the Baratie on a supply run (mostly because they never work. Sanji always comes back with more produce than the budget allows for which pisses the old geezer even more). But today, he was persistent that he go all the way to Shells Town. Fucking Shells Town. It isn't exactly the first place Sanji would think of when wanting quality ingredients.
However, if there's anything Sanji is, it's that he's stubborn. He'll comb through every market stall if he has to. He's coming back to the Baratie with three kilos of overpriced bluefin tuna if only to raise Zeff's blood sugar out of spite. Zeff raised a brat. So he's going to act like one.
Disembarking off of his boat, he makes a beeline first for a reputable restaurant in town. Cooks know what cooks want. He'd rather shave off time by asking a fellow chef where are the best places to get supplies. A few lovely ladies point him in the direction of a well-loved little restaurant at the edge of town and he each gives them a kiss on the back of their hand as a thank you.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances, my angels." He says with a wink. Both girls only give him blank stares and walk away from him. He still sighs dreamily as they soon fade from view. It's a lot better than getting hit in the head.
He walks ahead to the restaurant, finding it a little crowded with a couple marines. No matter. Sanji isn't exactly known by face around the East Blue. He begrudgingly understands now why Zeff doesn't want to go here and instead forced Sanji onto his sailboat by himself.
With an irritated flick of his hair, he strides into the restaurant, sitting at a table near the window so he could light a quick cigarette before asking for the chef.
"We already have our order—"
"No. More food is better! Gotta feed the brain!"
Sanji's ears pick up the conversation in the table next to him as naturally as he does breathing. With the amount of times Zeff makes him wait tables instead of actually cooking in the kitchen, he's become skilled in the art of being a gossip. Tie him up in the middle of a marine base for admitting that, he doesn't care. There's only so much one can do to keep themselves entertained.
"We have to figure out a way to get inside the base."
"Luffy, I don't think that's a good idea–"
"It's not a good idea because I don't have a plan yet!"
"Well, what's your plan?"
"..."
"Luffy..."
"I'm getting there!"
Sanji chuckles. Whoever this Luffy kid is, he sure sounds interesting.
But before he could get another slice of their conversation, a commotion at the bar piques his interest even more. He uncrosses his legs, sitting up a little straighter, and watches as a blond man in a suit scolds a girl for running into him, calling her stupid and mocking her.
Sanji quirks an eyebrow at him. No matter what, no man should speak to a little girl that way.
"You dropped my food."
This time, a man with green hair catches his attention and with a quick glance, Sanji sees that there is smushed up rice balls on the floor by the blond's feet. Sanji sees red immediately. He's just about to go over there and give the guy a piece of his mind when the green haired man kneels down, grabs a glob of dirty riceball, and puts it into his mouth.
Sanji tunnel visions on the way his lips move, slowly chewing, savoring the otherwise spoiled riceball in his mouth like it's the most delectable piece of food he's ever eaten. The whole restaurant watches with bated breath, but none held tightly in his chest as much as Sanji's is. The man scrapes every grain of rice off of the floor, licking the remaining traces off his fingers.
He doesn't know it yet, but Sanji's heart has spilled out of his chest, and is now in the hands of a dirty green haired swordsman. With each bite he takes of the sullied riceball, the more Sanji's soul is sucked out of his body and placed into a state of near heavenly revelation.
Then the swordsman picks up the plate and offers the other riceball to the irritated blond man across from him.
"Now you eat one and apologize to the girl."
Sanji doesn't know what happens to his heart because the aching in his chest feels like he's out of breath. Maybe he's dying. It feels a lot like it because suddenly Sanji genuinely has forgotten how to breathe in this moment.
It gets even worse when the fight breaks out. The man barely even breaks a sweat. In any other circumstance where there is a fight, Sanji would go right in and make sure none of the dishes fall to the floor. But it seems that even then, Sanji's interference isn't needed.
Because the man's hits are calculated, careful despite the rough and tumble of the fight. He barely even gets his swords out. And he, Sanji notices with a bright smile, makes sure none of the tables get hit. He contains it all in the small space in front of the bar.
The final nail in the coffin is when he takes a giant swig out of his mug, shakes it a bit to see if there's any more drink inside, and casually chucks it at an oncoming marine and knocks him out cold.
Now Sanji is used to falling in love easily with beautiful women. All they have to do is smile at him and he'll be on his knees for them. He has experience in that department.
But what is Sanji supposed to do when a brutish man with a kind heart glances at him briefly before taking the other riceball in his hand and shoving it in his mouth?
Sanji thinks that this is how he falls in love with a man.
His plate is wiped clean before he hands it back to the little girl, who looks up at the man with stars in her eyes.
Sanji figures that maybe the way he's staring at the man isn't too far off from how she's looking at him.
Sanji comes back to the Baratie with no supplies and an earful from Zeff that doesn't register in his brain.
His mind instead is filled with just the memory of the green haired man, his lips pursing ever so slightly around the riceball in his mouth, and the smallest smile he gives the little girl as he thanks her for the food.
Sanji wonders if he'll ever see him again.
He learns how to make different kinds of rice balls in the meantime.
---
A/N: did somebody say sanji would fall in love with zoro if he saw him eat food off the floor? say no more !!
EDIT: part two, debt and doing dishes is up!

Saiki k x Reader headcanons
This is on my anime’s I write for list and I haven’t written for it yet so I wanted to show what I can do! 😉
Enjoy!! I Love Saiki, Aren and Aiura 💗💜💛
Okay let’s face it
your regular.
average.
literally. (probably) like you are irl
doesn’t it feel good to have reader be accurate to how you are for once?
and that your fav would genuinely be into that and you know it?!
like you don’t have to pretend or imagine to be this cool, physically strong person your not for once?? Just me?
idk but it sure is refreshing
especially since it’s canon with saiki after he practically stalked that one dude
anyway onto the headcanons
I wanna start off by saying Saiki’s love languages are gift giving and quality time
the best part about gift giving is he could just leave it on your desk or night stand and watch your reaction from afar
they’re always very thoughtful since he can read your mind :) which is a plus!
and as for quality time he finds it quite peaceful to be around someone who’s not such a weirdo for once
and even if you are one, for some reason he can tolerate your strange behavior way better than he can your friends 😂
it’s always fun to play that one video game he has together
and it’s practically a requirement that every saiki k hcs have—you two will eat coffee jelly together
he would at least want you to try it and if you don’t like it’s that’s fine more for him
He’ll just get you whatever sweet, savory or spicy food you like so you can both enjoy something (and someone 💋) you love together!~
his mother absolutely adores you and is always pestering Saiki about when you’ll be back again
his dad thinks your a “good kid” (🗿) (like every dad says 😭)
Saiki loves to go on walks together
What he doesn’t like is when something chaotic happens to ruin it
but that’s besides the point—he loves to walk to school together!
nothing like getting up every day and seeing your lover. Going on a romantic walk too?*chefs kiss* 💋👩🍳
will try to indulge in your interests and hobbies to keep you happy
you may or may not be a introvert like him
if you aren’t he’ll go out and hang out with friends even if that’s outside of his comfort zone for you
but do remember to cut him some slack if he doesn’t want to or wants to go home early <3
and if your an introvert? Wonderful!
99.99% of dates are spent at either of your rooms (not just houses cuz parents are annoying)
or at that one shop that sells the coffee jelly he likes
only if you agree of course
if you prefer something even more private that’s just fine with him!
he only ever wants some peace anyway
and you simply never disturb that, to which he very much appreciates
if your a touchy-feely typa peep, please keep it to a minimum? Especially in public??
he’s already not really a physical touch person the way a perceive it
not that he hates it or anything
he just is more comfy without it when unnecessary
at least in public
he already will probably want to keep your relationship a secret/private for as long as possible
(he knows it’ll get out eventually by some misfortune event 🤦♀️)
but since they find out anyway here’s they’re reactions!
Honestly Nendo probably won’t realize your dating until you explicitly say so
either that or he’ll be the first one to know and just be like ‘oh, i thought everyone knew that’
Aren really doesn’t mind and thinks your relationship is sweet
Hairo supports wholeheartedly- maybe a little too much 😅💗
Chiyo is lowkey jealous you both got into a relationship before her but she’s happy
Torisuka is MAD jealous of Saiki but deep inside he’s still happy for you two
Kaido is also a tad jealous because he knows he would practically never find a girl his mom would accept but otherwise he pretty much supports 😭💕
Mera just uses your dates to get some free food (JOKING) she thinks you guys are cute
Saiko (Teruhashi’s brother) would be happy Saiki finally stopped desperately chasing his sister and learned his place (it’s the other way around bro 😑)
Uryoku (the magician dude) would be like ‘oh you dating someone master? Great! Now I need help for my upcoming show-“
Aiura immediately tests to see if you two are compatible and how long you’ll be together
turns out you are!! And you two stay together ♡
she thinks that’s adorable and will do anything for your relationship
will tear anyone who tries to split you apart a new one (they were just trying to say hi)
Aiura is the most supportive of your relationship
btw here we’re going with Saiki is her platonic soulmate instead (she prob already is)
Kusuke (Saiki’s brother) is very much so interested in the person his brother has fallen in love with
he will observe you and ask you lots of questions once he meets you
which I’m telling you Saiki tried so hard to make sure you never would.
what happened?
his mom happened.
”Kusuo! He’s your brother! He should get to meet your partner!”
now Teruhashi I had to save for last..
her reaction depends
if she still loves Saiki she tries to befriend you while turning on the charm with Saiki
her plan is to befriend you and basically make you go ‘oh! You like Saiki? Well I guess I’ll back off then since were friends”
and finally have Saiki go ‘oh wow’ and fall in love with her
otherwise if she doesn’t love him, moves on or whatever the case may be..
she probably doesn’t care much for your relationship unless your friends
i mean she’s kinda like that to anyone she isn’t friends with right?
In other news
Your friends def mess up your dates unintentionally
poor Saiki- since he’s usually the one to plan them
nothing too extravagant- usually just out for food..BUT STILL!
They always tag along and become 3rd, 4th and sometimes 5th wheels or more! 😀
on the bright side-
at some point in the relationship you get to call him Kusuo and it’s a big step for you two! 💖
”well, I guess we’ve been dating long enough right? You can just call me Kusuo..”
I wanna write for the disastrous life of Saiki k (mob psycho 100 and black butler as well) more in the future! So send in requests!
Truly hope you enjoyed loves~

Welcome home Simon
Simon “Ghost” Riley x F!Reader
MDNI
Tw: cnc, somno, creampie(?), breeding
Word count: 1.1k
A/n: Rewriting this because for some reason everything was cut off. I absolutely love this kink with a touch of breeding *chef’s kiss* Anyways I hope this gif is a bit better quality than the last one. It’s from the cod MW Christmas ad.
Please let me know if the formatting transferred weirdly
This is the lingerie set if you’re curious, I chose this one before it seem comfortable and I’m personally insecure about my body and I love these type of lingerie sets. It makes me feel super sexy but also comfortable in my own body.
👻Simon💀: On the heli, eta 0130.
Alrighty! Stay safe!
You could help but feel giddy at his text, you’ve been lounging in the living room drinking your usual white wine. After a few glasses, you decided to try on your new lingerie set. Skipping the makeup you did a quick simple hairdo after slipping into your new set. It’s more on the comfy side, silky shorts that extenuates your hips and thigh, the top is a simple tank top. But your favorite detail is the back, looking over your shoulder you loved the silver traps, the way the shorts left half your butt out. Sure it wasn’t the typical playboy lingerie but you felt comfortable and sexy anyways. You went back to the living room, cuddling up with your cat “Reaper” drinking the last bit of your wine while you waited for Simon to come back home. You wondered if Simon even remembered the agreement you both had before his departure.
After getting back on base and short debrief with Price, Simon had an hour drive before he could see you. You’re all he could think about, it's been a few months since he was home, since he’s been with you. He couldn’t help but think back to the conversation you both had before he left. After a few year of being together, you guys didn’t shy away from sharing fantasies and trying new kinks with one another. However, he was a bit surprised when you brought up a fantasy you wanted to play out when he came back. In the past, you usually were passed out by the time he came home. Always trying to stay awake, but the exhaustion from your day gets the best of you, only finding Simon next to you in bed once you woke up. He shook his head at the memory of your conversation, you wanted him to come home finding you asleep and use you however he wanted. Of course, you both wanted to set hard boundaries so it could be a pleasurable experience for each other. At the end of the day you both had your set limits and your usual safe word.
Moving his hands down to your pussy he let out a soft groan feeling how wet and needy you are. “Fuck kitten, so wet and ready for me. Such a little whore for me aren’t ya?” Rubbing small circles on your clit , lifting your shirt up to expose more of your body for him. He took one of your nipples in his mouth, swirling his tongue around it before soft biting down on them. “Mmmh doll, can’t wait for your perfect tits to fill up with milk. You’ll let me have a taste right?” He mumbled against your skin. Slipping one of his fingers down to your slit before bringing it to his lips wanting to have a taste of your wet pussy. You let out a small moan from the loss of this touch, “don’t worry sweets, I’ll take care of your needy little pussy.” He slipped his finger back down you slit, slowly fucking his finger into your tight little hole, curling his finger just to rub your most sensitive spot. He could feel you tighten and squeeze his fingers as he stretched you out to accommodate his size. Satisfied that his hand was glistening, he laid down next to you lifting one of your legs over his lip. He pulled you close, face to face only pausing for a second to focus on how your chest was rising, letting out soft and steady breathes as you slept.
He took rubbed the tip of his dick, collecting precum on his thumb groaning as he spread it on your lips then slipping his finger in your mouth. Even in your sleep, you wrapped your lips around his thumb swirling your tongue around tasting him. “Sure you aren’t awake sweets?” He couldn’t believe how much you’re responding to his touch. Letting suck his mouth, his other hand guided his hard dick to your slit, spreading his dick with your wetness, nudging your sensitive little bud with every thrust. Letting the tip nudge your hole a few times before his patience ran out. “Si-“ he heard your shaky call for him in your sleep. “Shhh sweets, you’ll let me take care of ya” you nodded nuzzling back into him after you heard him whimper.
After your breathing slowed down to a constant state, Simon could feel his precum running down his balls as he slowly thrusted his dick inside you. He couldn’t believe how tight and snug you felt every time he fucked you. His thrust was slow and deep, not wanting to wake you up. Sliding his hand down your stomach reaching to circle you clit. You clench around him, grinding your hip down on him. “That’s it kitten, cream all over me pretty.” He brought his hand to wrap around your back to bring you even closer to him. Moaning your name, his hips buried himself as deep as possible, grinding down as he filled you full of his cum. Slowing his hips to a stop still enveloped in your warmth he moved strands of hair away from your face. Carefully moving you on top of him, closing his eyes he did one last thrust as he tangled your legs with his drifting off to sleep. He could have sworn he heard you mumble “welcome home Simon”

Heyo! Love your work btw *chef kiss* I'm obsessed with your poly turtles stuff. Could you maybe do some Christmas poly headcannons? Seasonal Activities they do with their s/o, possible gifts they receive, fav cookies/treats, fav Xmas music. Idk just some festive stuff? If you're busy that's cool 😎 your poly turt stuff has me needing more haha. Thanks!
Ok, I'm pretty sure I got this before Christmas and it's now May. I'm so sorry. I won't go into all the reasons I haven't really been writing because it's a lot but I want to get back into it so here goes with this very unseasonal post lmao
and thank you everyone for you patience as I get back into the swong of writing for my blog
Raph
This big hunk of red and green first
He's very seasonal if you think about it
He's also super (secretly) into the holidays
catch him doing his rendition of rockin' around the Christmas tree very loudly when he's off his tits on eggnog
((side note I think he would hate eggnog but would drink it solely because it's festive))
He's secretly super sentimental and he knows you love this time of year so he really puts his back into it
I'm talking it's the 1st of December and he wakes you up in a full Santa outfit and white beard (that he knitted himself) yelling "Ho Ho Ho!" and asking if you've been naughty or nice
it's like 6am so you, naturally, tell him to piss off
to which he makes a big show of trying to shove you into his Santa sack because "Someone needs a trip to the North Pole to learn the Christmas spirit"
He's also pretty good with crafts
obvs you guys can't go outside and be seen so he creates a whole winter wonderland in the lair (without telling the others, Mikey was the only one who appreciated it tbh)
also he's a great cook so you spend evening after evening baking sugar cookies and decorating them, sipping hot chocolate with a candy cane in it and whipped cream on top, making warming winter soups.
In terms of gifts, he gets you anything and everything he even thinks you might like
real big spender this one
handmade too items like a scarf he knitted for you because your old one was a bit worn, handmade card, he even did a little snow globe that he made with figures of you and him inside of it
he'll say "I know it's lame" or "It's not the best but I tried" but it means the world to you
Leo
Big boy blue up next
I see him loving a very traditional, old fashioned, classic Xmas.
His big thing is that he loves to decorate the tree with you
but you would always bicker about how it should look
"No, I think a gold and red theme would look better!"
"But, Leo, we have all of these cute glass candy canes I wanna hang!"
"But I have a vision!!"
so this year he decides to buy like 6 trees (and by buy I mean forage, steal or cut down)
so you can both have your own trees and decorate them however you want
this, obviously, becomes a Christmas competition
your very unwilling judges are Leo's brothers and even Splinter
they have never looked more uncomfortable than when you and Leo are very passionately stating your case for why your tree is better than the other's and it ends in you both throwing baubles at each other
about half an hour and a lot of tinsel lying everywhere later you decide that maybe you're both a little too competitive
but Leo reassures that "That's why I love you"
He's so big on quality time with you
lot's of sitting by a crackling fire, sipping coco and letting soft Christmas songs play
he's made a playlist of v gentle ones like Eartha Kitt's Santa baby, Conventry carol and god rest ye merry gentlemen.
it's all about the mood w/ Leo
as far as gifts, it's has to be something personal and sweet
a pressed flower in resin from the first day you both met, a silver heart shaped locket with a pic of you both in it, some sort of talisman that's supposed to keep you safe in ninja superstition
Mikey
Time for chaotic good to come to play
Mikey just manages to capture that almost childlike enthusiasm and wonder for the season
He has a funny habit of wrapping your gifts to look like something else
last year you were certain he'd gotten you a rocking horse but it turned out to be a new phone and headphones
"How long did it take you to wrap it like that?"
"Don't ask questions you don't wanna know.....3 hours to make the horse part look right"
normally he gets you silly but sweet gifts
lots of sticking filler things
oh and he gets you an actual stocking too, but like a comically oversized one to fit all the gifts
stuff he's made too
one year he made you 50 hand cut paper snowflakes with 50 reasons he loves you written and drawn on them
also stuff you guys can do together
video games he knows you'll find fun, stupid interactive games that you can play, that kinda stuff
he does a special Xmas scavenger hunt for you each year that the others pretend is stupid but it keeps getting more elaborate as time goes on and even they are started to get invested in the ending
there's a theme and everything ranging from polar express to murder at the Christmas party to Santa's grotto....
he also never fails to dress up as Mrs Clause every year (because Raph insists on being Santa and at first Mikey just wanted everyone to laugh, but now it's kinda a tradition)
Donnie
oh my sweet gadget boy
he's super big into cocktails, the sweeter the better
and you always get to name them together but you both have a warped sense of humour so the names are getting out of hand
you pick a fave each year as well
last year was "The abominable snowman's frozen left nut" and the year before was "Mrs Clause putting glass shavings in Santa's food because he came back with the clap"
I told you they were bizarre....
his gifts are always thoughtful and so romantic
I HC Donnie as being a super romantic guy
whether it be a painting he made of the constellations and planets in correct placement on the night the two of you first kissed
or a wreath of dried flowers and plants to hang on the door that came from the field behind your childhood house
but this year it's a scrapbook filled to the brim with every detail of the two of you, all dated and with a little annotation telling a story as to why it's in there. photos, cards, handwritten letters, magazine cut outs, diary entries.... it's all in there and it's enough to make you cry.
He also sneaks you out on Christmas eve every year without the others knowing (they'd flip if they came to know that he was stealing you away at that time)
but he takes you up to the rooftops to sit on blankets and drink hot chocolate (spiked with a little rum, it's Donnie after all...) and look at the lights and snowflakes and people bustling home to their families and you sit and feel at peace and laugh as you make up backstories to each individual you see scurrying home
you lean against his shoulder and every year that he does this it feels more magical than the last

Well look at that it's 2024, and my new years resolution is to stay an unbothered icon queen, and hope the hater's die mad. But I also thought I'd take a second to shout out to the people who make the shit show of a year 2023 bearable, and even enjoyable in some cases.
As trash as the rpc has a tendency to be there are still a lot of you that make this place more than worth it. I clearly cant shout out to all 900 something followers but I can highlight some of you. If you're not listed don't worry I still appreciate you immensely for being here, these are just the people that have really impacted my time here so far.
@unsettledspirits / @zoomingupthathill what can i say that I already haven't. There's 3 months worth of daily reasons to love you. You built the one ship that beat Steferine with me, honestly it was a surprise to everyone. Happy to see you back on Max ruling over your ST kingdom.
@hybrid-royalty-main Damon you piece of shit, I hate you the absolute most, and I'm so glad youre here with all the boys tbh. You bring such a unique quality to each one of them. Especially were-jer, it has been an absolute HOOT watching you take on the challenges of a teenaged were pup.
@baby-royalty My sired child with loyalty so unwavering you make the sire bond in the show look tame lmfao. The universe pulled us together the second I stepped foot into this hellsite again and I have enjoyed watching you grow into the person and writer that you are now. I'm proud of you.
@klaeus Kiki I adore you sm, you and your knock off brand doppelganger and scruffy mutt hybrid (affectionate) I love talking about the show and dynamics and honestly just about everything with you. You try, and thats more than most people do for me. Plus your grafics are just chefs kiss.
@multi-royalty Maddie this is like 3 years we've been besties, the caroline to my Elena. I've loved watching you branch out into new circles of friends and grow as a writer. You're absolutely killing it.
@ofcrossrcads Cribby, my darling I adore you. You are simply the sweetest, and keeping you here aggressively as my friend was one of the best things ive done in my life. I am always right here if you need me for anything <3
@hargrove JT WTF. How are you so talented? Honestly youre the bees knees and I am SO HAPPY to have reached out to write with you bc I wasn't expecting Katherine and Billy but here they are and tbh im here for it. Tho everything you write is top notch, you're just flawless with every reply. And for that reason katherine said, you can go ahead and keep your halfbreed in the dog house. LMFAO. But for real I am so happy to have met you.
@petrovawitch Kenz, Katherine says fuck you for bringing her pain in the ass sister back- but im really glad you did. We adore you both even if we're spicy at times bc you know were brats hehe
@havvkinsqueen / @stanfordprepped My fellow digidestins, I am so happy to have met you. Both of you are just pure goodness spun into a little ball of sunshine. Honestly the most supportive people ever, the RPC needs you desperately. Just please remember that I have your back just as much as you have mine. We digidestin gotta stick together. <3
Ok ok ok I cant shout out to literally everyone individually so these people also are super important to me and have made my experience here this year amazing, thank you for all you do-
@langdhon@ravenskeeper@salvatoraes@sarcasticsnackpack@sithdestined@nexusvcrti@ofvalor@imundus@brokenbrxther@loyaltylanced@spellsigns@ruinedmyself@ravmalakh@touchedbydestiny

Dating Peter Strahm Headcanons
(SFW) (GN!READER)
he defo sleeps shirtless and holds you while you lie on his chest
while pda isn't a huge thing for him he's not afraid of holding your waist in public or holding your hand
HOWEVER
if someone is eyeing you up he becomes the most publicly affectionate man ever like you ain't sure if he's aware he's still in public 😃
in private he can't keep his hands off of you
his love languages are definitely physical touch, quality time and gift giving.
he sometimes struggles to voice how much he loves you and how highly he thinks of you so he buys you gifts and takes you on fancy dates to make up for that.
as we all know very well hes very hot headed so when he's in one of those moods he tends to distance himself from you in fear of yelling at you
however if you go find him and just hug him all his tension and stress just dissappears
you are literally the only person that can calm him down lmao
I feel like he's an amazing chef so whenever you've had a tough day he'll 110% make you a meal you really like
plays with your hair when you are cuddling
he's quite a homebody so even though he does like going out for dates, staying at home and having dinner and watching a movie is definitely more his style
he gives the best hugs fr fr
thinks you are wayyy to precious to live in such a cruel world
he knows you can take care of yourself but he feels he needs to be very protective over you
mainly because he dosent want you to be put in a jigsaw trap
even though you've done nothing wrong cause your a literal angel in his eyes
before you two got together lindsey noticed he had a crush on you and constantly teased him. Little did he know she knew you had a crush on him too.
he loves it when you wear his clothes
he finds it so hot omfg
will not let you within a fucking mile of hoffman
he wouldn't trust hoffman with a pencil 😭
he kisses you whenever the tf he gets a chance
HIS KISSES
omg
they are like soft but tender at the same time
last pretty long but not too long so that you want to go back for more
he always stares at you
practically with heart eyes
he just adores you and your looks and your personality just everything about you

Hello Author-san! If you have time... I'd like to request Gotham characters realizing they've been a total douche towards [name].
I re-read all your stories recently (still amazing, like I'm reading them for the first time amazing) and I noticed that a lot of Gotham people(😆) are (most of the time) always very mean towards [name] even when [name] always clean up after them 🤔
I just wanna see them realize [name] needs some love too- 😤
Take care Author-sannnn 💛
Awwww it's so cute, thank you for your request and compliments ♥️ They weren't the best frenemies I have to say and often are ungrateful little brats with her indeed.
Don't worry, Y/N doesn't mind at all. If anything, she finds their hostility amusing. Especially coming from Oswald and Edward who she sees as moody teens: claiming they hate you but desperately asking for your help when they aren't able to do the most simple thing. The irony is just *chef kiss* 😂
It was quite hard to write about Jim since he's so attached to the law, what's right and wrong. Being a little bit nice with Y/N is as hard for him as beeing genuinely nice with Oswald. But he realizes she can be good, sort of.
Warning: English mistakes, it's not my first language, I'm working on it. Violence, bad words.

Oswald Cobblepot
"That freaking harlot!"
He was fuming, as his phone was crashed against the hard wood of his desk, Oswald cursed again thinking about the end of his call with Y/N.
Behind him, Victor watched their boss screeches like an angry bird, slapping the poor device again and again. Penguin was easy to anger, he thought. So easy, his dear wife made it a sport to irks him as many times as she could per day.
He felt his own phone buzz in his heart pocket. She broke another record doing it, he knew, winning their bet in doing so in less then 30 seconds. He owed her a calzone.
"YOU'RE NOT LISTENING AREN'T YOU VICTOR?!"
The killer first blinked. Admiring a new shade of red growing on Cobblepot's furious face. Then, shrugged in carefree way.
"I KNEW IT! Stop thinking about this stupid excuse of a woman!" yelled the little man while finishing the massacre of his now dead phone.
"Boss." He called.
"Whut now, Zsasz?!"
"Why don't you just stop working with Y/N? You can't stand her and know I'm perfectly able to annihilate about anyone in town... " Victor stated flatly.
Oswald scoffed like the bald man had insulted his dear mother. "That's utterly stupid!" He said, now throwing him a hard glare, soon joined by another scoff. "Your idiotic wife is irking, acting like she owns any freaking place she's standing in, is demanding ridiculously high compensation for anything she's asked to do"
The killer nodded at each point made, making a few "Uh-uh" here and there.
"But she's useful. And I don't have to explain every steps of my plans to her, because she already knows, Victor. That damn woman is already en route to do the job before I even have to open my mouth!" Penguin yelled angrily. At him, her or about the fact that he recognized some qualities to the woman? Zsasz didn't know.
And didn't even have the time to ask, since Oswald was now pointing him with an accusating finger. "THAT makes her, and trust me it's killing me to say it: valuable. Very valuable. But also dangerous. And you're suggesting that I stop working with her?! For what? My rivals to contact her immediately and ask her to annihilate me? When she's rivaling freaking mediums when it comes to predict my next actions?! You're very capable with your guns, but against her?! This snake-woman would destroy YOU and ME. Or more likely will use YOU to destroy ME. No. Way. Not a chance! "
Zsasz raised a bored brow. "So much faith in me, boss. It stings you know."
Still in front of him, Cobblepot slammed his elegant cane on the hard floor. "It's faith in her that I have, faith to make you do whatever she wants, without even have to break a sweat", Oswald deadpaned.
"Order me to kill her then." Shrugged the henchman without any emotion on his face or in his tone.
Cobblepot jolted like the thunder hit him. "What?!" He whisper-yelled. "Are you MAD?!" Now he was definitely yelling. "Aren't you her husband?! How dare you even suggest it?!" Pacing around like a lion inside of its cage, Penguin now used his cane to point at him. "First you want to put her on the side, taking her job, and now you want to shoot her to death?! Yes, of course, the woman deserves a strike from Karma, but this! You're supposed to be ready to die for your lover VICTOR, not be ready to be the one killing them!" Zsasz was pretty sure the walls were shaking with how loud the new King of Gotham was.
All of sudden, Oswald froze, his cane still pointing at him and his eyes wide. "You don't deserve her." He whispered before his voice was back to normal. "I forbid you to do it, Victor. I absolutely forbid you to even point the barrel of your gun at any part of her body, do you hear me?"
Zsasz's face was still blank as he shrugged and nodded. "Fair mistake, thought you hated her you know. Just wanted to help here."
Oswald gritted his teeth angrily. "If anything, be grateful for all the work she does and the affection she's showing you, when all you deserve would be her incredible silver tongue to work against you and make you stab yourself in the knee."

EDWARD NYGMA / THE RIDDLER
Calling Y/N, the second most prolific assassin in town, names was at this point a constant for him.
She never held any grudge against him for that, still answering his messages whenever they came and teasing him to no end. So what's changed?
Seated on one of the sofa's of his hideout, Riddler was intensely watching his phone. More exactly the last message sent to the woman, that she saw, he could tell, but which she didn't answer. 3 hours without a single irritating "Riddlie, RiddLame or Riddl-ED". What happened?
"Cat got your tongue? Would be the first time. Not so surprising to finally see your microscopic wit running dry." He sent.
Again. A simple "seen" under his text, but no answer. Not a single word. He tsked, clearly irritated.
"Not so surprising to get no answer when all you do is insulting her intelligence." Muttered a well-known voice from the mirror standing in the corner of the room.
"Shut it. Her so-called intelligence is nothing compare to our genius. Pointing it out isn't even an insult, it's just a fact" Snapped the man in green.
"Genius. Yes, that's what we are. But she's no simpleton. Far from it actually. And even you know that. You should be nicer with her... " Answered his reflexion in a shy voice.
"I. Said. Shut it. ED. Don't start to try to put some sickly sweet sentiments into the link I share with Y/N." Said Riddler angrily while facing the damn mirror, his eyes glaring at those much more softer he saw in front of him.
"Our link." Ed slowly answered.
Stunned by his words, Riddler felt more than he saw his head moving slightly back from the shock. "What?" He now whispered.
"Our link. Y/N is my friend too. She was even before she knew you", Ed said, straightening his shirt awkwardly.
This time, his whole body jolted. His mouth opened wide incredulously. The surprise was short though, soon replaced by hot anger.
"Friends? She didn't even talk to you, stupid! Just answered the riddles you wrote on a ridiculous card for Kringle and forgot in the interrogation room, like the idiot you are. Y/N happened to be here waiting for Jimbo to question her. You call that being friend?!" Riddler mocked.
Ed lowered his eyes but still shrugged. "She knew someone was behind the tainted mirror and ask them to tell the author of the riddles it was quite good. It was nice. And friendly." He argued.
"You're being delusional." Deadpaned Riddler. The man glanced at his phone again, in case this crazy conversation made him miss a notification from her.
"Who is delusional thinking about calling a friend someone he always mocks and insults?" Ed's voice taunted. Who would have thought the poor and nice little Ed had that in him?
"Don't. Just don't try to make me feel guilty Ed. Y/N isn't your fragile Kringle or your damn librarian! Calling each other names but still answering when being contacted IS how our friendship works. Always have been and will always be." Riddler spat, gritting his teeth angrily.
"So we can so brilliantly see." Ed chastised, his eyes opening comically as he lifted the hand holding his phone tightly.
"Y/N is a practical and logical woman, Ed. She 100% KNOWS it and don't need any praise to feel secure or any kind of exterior validation to acknowledge the brilliant mind she already knows she has! Her confidence as well as her sharp mind are why I like her so much! And it's also why she's MY friend. "
He saw the hurt he caused on Ed's face. The ex-forensic was left with no answer, his mouth wide open in shock.
"You know, I'm Ed's friend too, RiddLack-of-gentleness. But thanks for your lovely words, got me all flustered, RidDEar" Came Y/N's flat voice from his right hand. When did he call her? One look at his reflexion answered him. Ed was smiling like a kid seeing his prank working even better than he first imagined.
Now it was Riddler's turn to turn pale, opening stupidly his mouth but with no sound coming from it.
"Cat got your tongue?" The woman mocked.
Was it a screech which finally came from him? A high pitched scream? He wasn't too sure. But a very shameful sound, it was certain.
"Oh." She sounded confused for a second. "Bad time maybe? Never thought about Narcisse doing anything else than drowning himself..." Her innuendo made him livid, but still too shocked to answer intelligibility.
"Didn't want to interrupt your little self-care time dear. My texts weren't working so I called. I'll call back later" She was now purring, ending the call before he collected himself enough to yell at her.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Finally boomed his voice in direction of the mirror.
"Let her know how precious she is to us" Sang Ed's voice just before he disappeared, letting Riddler see his disheveled and sweating state. Joke was on him. Definitely.
JIM GORDON
"... I don't understand. I fucking don't understand."
Rambling like a mad man was becoming his habit. A bad one if you ask any sane person. But here in Gotham? He was simply getting acclimated to the city.
"How the hell can you take it so fucking well?!" He asked Harvey, watching the old cop who was calmly sipping his coffee and enjoying a maybe too greasy donut.
Said cop stopped his chewing for a second, his eyes looking something on his right like he was contemplating what to say.
Earlier this day, Jim woke up with one of Y/N's creepy texts. A simple "RAT-A-TAT-A-TAT-A-TATAT". Last time she sent something similar, the GCPD's HQ was attacked by some crazy wannabe gangster with machine guns. So it wasn't that surprising that he carried the goosebumps with him all day, right?
Why would she inform him about an imminent attack? He didn't know. Didn't understand last time and still doesn't now. Not like he formed any kind of friendship with her. On the contrary. A simple look at his texts to her was enough to tell.
He swore he would be the one finally putting her behind Black Gates' bars. Not Arkham. She wasn't insane, or so he thought. He wasn't so sure anymore...
"Why?" He muttered again, taking his head between his hands and deciding to sit in front of Bullock. "Why am I the only one shocked by the fact that this psychopath not only sent me her creepy text but also sent it to the boss, Alvarez and you?!" He snapped.
Harvey shrugged while gulping the last drops of his beverage. "You'll get used to it." The older man finally said.
Gordon made a face. "She's a fucking criminal! Not a fellow cop, not a snitch, a freaking killing machine walking around without a care in the world. What's wrong with you guys?!"
Bullock let out a heavy sigh, rubbing his scruffy jaw in a tired way. "Neutral Evil." He finally said.
"Uh?" Asked Jim, his brow rising slowly as he leaned in his co-worker's direction.
"Neutral Evil." Harvey repeated slowly. "When the kid started to save our arses sporadically, we asked our psychiatrists to work on her case again. They decided she was Neutral Evil." He developed.
"... Sounds like a D&D thing." Gordon muttered incredulously, making Harvey laugh loudly. "Well it is, two of them are freaking nerds, always babbling about this thing. What amaze me is that you know about it. Should go play with them next Sunday if we're still breathing." He mocked, earning the middle finger from the younger cop.
"Heard kids talking about it in town. Debating which side they were going to play", Gordon detailed, making Bullock hummed and nod absently.
"Our own grown up childchiatrists took ages to decide if we had to call her Neutral or lawful Evil, since the woman has some sort of honor code." He rambled. "But, and I'm quoting them here: "Since she's a selfish little piece of shit and doesn't give a fuck about using / killing anyone for her own purpose which doesn't seem to be some sort of anti-hero or noble villain goal", they decided she was Neutral.""
Gordon nodded, waiting for more and making Harvey sigh even more. "They also stated that she was helping us because we were useful to her, in a way or another. As soon as we'll stand between her goal and her, she'll most likely put a bullet between our eyes." The older explain with a detached face.
"And you all go with it like it's something perfectly normal? How is that supposed to help me feel better?!" shouted Jim incredulously.
"Well it's not. If anything, it's supposed to make you understand that you're safe. For now. Which, in this good ol' city, is a fucking luxury let me tell you", answered the other cop in a harsh tone, his wrinkles even more accentuated by the displeased frown he was wearing.
Now that he was looking at it more intensely, Gordon noticed a little frown on the corner of Harvey's mouth. "There's more." The young cop said.
"Uh?" Asked Harvey, who leaned back in his seat. His porture seemed tensed. "What now, what are you talking about?". He growled.
"There is something more with Y/N. Something you're not telling me." Said the young cop suspiciously. And the reaction he got from Bullock just confirmed it.
"You all but quoted psychiatrists, only carefully talking about what their opinion is. But never put yours. It's not like you, we both know you're far more judgemental than this and usually don't hesitate to tell everyone what you think about someone or something. So, what are you hiding, Harvey?" He asked lowly, paying attention to not be heard by their co-workers.
Bullock's eyes grew wide for only a second. A little second which definitely convinced Gordon to dig further. "What. Harvey?" He pressed.
The other cop tsked angrily then cursed a few times. "Ok. Ok. Just fucking stop frowning like I was confessing a murder or you'll get the whole damn room's attention." Harvey spat in a hushed tone. He took a long minute to inspire deeply. "Remeber when you were abducted by those crazy salary men, who decided to organize hunger games for a fucking job?" Jim nodded slowly.
"Who do you think helped us finding you? Uh? A little angel in charge of your freaking safety? Sorry to tell you this, but your angel likes black leather and rocket launchers a little too much." Jim opened his mouth to protest, or, at least try to argue that she may have needed him in one of her twisted evil plans.
But Harvey made a 'no' with his head. "You were tracking her like a hunting dog for the blowing of an entire building. If anything your death would have been better, for her." Said the older.
"Maybe not on long term", countered Gordon. "We now know she's quite good at scheming and being two or three steps ahead anyone. One skill she has in common with Cobblepot". He added.
Harvey nodded but still seemed pretty sceptical. "The betrayal too, then. Since she was the one who send a text to Montoya and Allen when her dearest husband came here to fetch you, mate."
Now that news totally stunned him. Jim was looking like a fish out of water. "Why would she-..." Harvey shrugged. "Maybe she knew Zsasz was quite in the mood to cut any members you wouldn't need to talk to Falcone that day. Maybe out of fucking generosity. Who knows. But the fact is she still saved your life, yes she did. And not only once." The older man grunted.
"She's a manipulative and a selfish bitch most of the time, yes she is. But I assure you, she's more Lawful-bullshit than our clowns of psychiatrists give her credit for. She's not good. Absolutely not. But I'm sure she has plans for Gotham, so much more than making it her little killing playground. What exactly? I do not know. But you seem to have earned a place in her grand scheme. As well as the Wayne kid, who she helped too by the way. Sometimes even for free." He said.
Jim closed his mouth but was getting paler. "She worked with the kid?!" He breathed, feeling panic starting to take his body.
"I also owe her my life, Jim. God knows I'm no good cop, but she still decided to keep me alive, sending me infuriating bullshit since she was 15. How do you think I was able to survive so long in this hell hole, aside from my natural charm, charisma and shady connexions? She's not good. But sometimes she isn't all bad."
The buzz of Gordon's phone brought back their attention to the room. He got it out of his back pocket, only to see a text from her: "10"
10 what? Guys, feets away from their HQ?
Another buzz. "9".
It was freaking seconds. She was sadistic enough to instigate this kind of nerves breaking game.
"8". He raised his head in total panic, quickly showing the texts to Harvey.
"7". "FUCKING HELL ! EVERYBODY TAKE COVER! NOW!"
"6"
Chaos. At Bullock's scream, all cops in the GCPD ducked under or behind something, pulling out their guns.
"5".
"Someone is going to shoot us!" Jim heard himself yell.
"4". "Get ready to open fire!"
"3"
"2"
"1"
A deafening explosion boomed outside, just in front of the GCPD's main gates. Nobody dared to move, or even breath. Ready to shoot at any moment.
But after a long minute and nothing happening, glances started to land on him and Bullock. So much, they felt the urge to bolt out of their hidding spot to rush near the doors, guns held firmly in their hands.
They exchanged a quick glance before slowly opening a door with one hand, the other ready to pull the trigger.
There, in front of the police station, was standing a white van. Well, more the white burning carcass of a van to be honest. The vehicle seemed to have been stopped brutally by a rocket. Disfigured corpses were laying all around it, staining the hard cold ground and the dirty snow in red.
"Fucking hell" Breathed Harvey on his left, getting is full attention on something planted directly on the snow.
"Is that... -" Jim started incredulously.
"A rocket launcher with a bow attached to it and a decapitated head where the rocket should be? Your answer is a fucking yes, Gordon", grunted Bullock also stunned.
Jim didn't even have the time to say something else. A little music suddenly resonated near where the rocket launcher was oddly standing. Exactly like the irritating music you would hear coming from a happy birthday card.
Gordon's phone buzzed again in his pocket and he quickly grabbed it.
------ 1 New Message -----
Y/N
Happy upcoming birthday Jimbo. Hope you liked my present.
-------- End of message ------
"What the hell" He muttered, looking at Harvey in hope of some kind of explanation.
The older cop blinked stupidly while looking at the text then put his attention back on the creepy present. Though his observations were cut short by Jim's shocked voice.
"There is something inside of the mouth" He said.
Both of them slowly approached the beheaded head. As soon as they reached it, the Happy birthday music stopped, replaced by a heavy silence. Jim raised his right hand and, with caution, put the mouth apart, grabbing something solid and sticky from all the blood.
"What is it?" Pressed Harvey while nervously glancing around.
Jim opened his hand with a grimacing face, only to see a rectangular shaped plastic thing. "USB key", he whispered.
Again, the happy birthday music came to life. Only a few meters from them, making them jump in surprise. Here, standing on the other side of the road was Y/N, her arms nonchalantly crossed under her breasts. Her face flashed a quick sadistic grin, just before she raised her right hand in the air, her index finger pointing at something behind them.
Harvey and him followed her cue to look and turned around, only to see a huge advertising panel, which had on it Galavan's face and a "Vote Galavan" just under it. The two turned in her direction again, just in time to see her making a ridiculous "hello" motion with her hand then turning on her heels to disappear in a shady alley.
"Do you think the gang she shot and Galavan have something to do with each other?" Tried Harvey. The old man looked at his still very pale face, seeing his eyes glance at the USB key.
"Probably." He whispered.
"Well, seems like we'll live to see another day", said Bullock casually, trying to make him come out of his muteness.
What was it all about? Thought Gordon. Suddenly, he remembered the brief exchange he had with the woman about Galavan and his suspicions concerning his true motives for the city. Was she trying to help?
------- 1 New Message ------
Jim Gordon
Why did you helped us?
.
Y/N
Pretty sure the happy birthday musical card was enough of a cue for you to figure it out, Gordeaf.
.
Jim Gordon
Just because my birthday is in two days, you decided to save the whole GCPD with taking those thugs lives? Excuse me to be suspicious.
.
Y/N
It wasn't my gift, Jim. This was a mere bonus.

Jim Gordon
Why the USB key then?

Y/N
Since you were lacking elementary common sense during our last little chit chat session, I decided to offer you one. Make a good use of it.

Jim Gordon
What Alvarez, my boss and Harvey had to do with it?
.
Y/N
Nothing. They're too handsome, talented or stupidly fun to be wasted on a petty little shooting. Have a nice day on the Good side James.
--------- End of messages ------
"My ego wants to identify as the handsome or talented one, but I'm pretty sure I'm the stupidly fun one" grunted Harvey who was reading the whole conversation from above his shoulder. "Meh, still alive and grateful for it", he added just before padding his shoulder friendly.
"Yeah. Still alive and grateful for it. I supposed", Jim hesitantly replied.
--
A/N I hope you liked it! 🥰

Everyone who has issues and critiques with Wednesday always says Jenna Ortega was the best part. Sans the writing/dialogue choices, since you live already covered that, what was your full opinion on her performance in Wednesday? Do you think she deserves the current hype?
Well, tbh, I don't think she's a bad actress so much as she played Wednesday with 0 dimension. The whole point of the Addams family is they're macabre and morbid, but they're a loving family, and while Wednesday was always deadpan, in earlier iterations, as I've said before, she was still played with some emotional nuance.
I think there's something to be said for the way Christina Ricci used micro-expressions to add some emotional depth and dimension to Wednesday's character. All these reactions are still *within* the context of her character. Wednesday wouldn't have necessarily BIG reactions, but she's still human, she would react. So the micro-expressions nail that. The smugness as she lights everything on fire, the manic glee as she electrocutes her brother, the frustration as she says "you are fake!" The obvious fear in the first gif, as she struggles for control over herself (chef kiss). Sure, her baseline might be this:
But there's still enough emotional depth that you want to keep watching her, and see what trouble she'll get into next. The way Jenna played Wednesday was, in my opinion, largely just...sullen, flat footed and pouty.
This is about as much range as we get from her:
This stuff gave me whiplash lol. So it just ends up feeling like she delivers these verbose lines, and it's just line delivery. Even in the last Christina Ricci gif, there's a little flick of her eyebrow like, damn right you should be afraid. All I'm asking for.
I also think, with all the interpersonal stuff (mostly with the friends, I do NOT care about that pathetic triangle) she goes through, I would've liked to see more use of micro-expressions to indicate emotional struggle, than just, tights on her sullen face looking in the general direction of a character or her looking off screen, to indicate emotional weight. This also makes it difficult for me to root for Wednesday as a main character, in the way we're meant to. She's obnoxious and rude, entitled and has no real redemptive qualities. The characters around her routinely forgive her for her bad behaviour, despite her showing very little remorse, and because we get no emotional nuance, I don't particularly...like Wednesday, and we're meant to like her. Shows like this, imo, tend to rely too heavily on nostalgia and the appeal of the actors (I think, to have really enjoyed this execution of Wednesday, a big pre-requisite was liking Jenna Ortega in the first place), rather than actually letting the audience get to know the depth of this character through the situations she finds herself in and how she handles them emotionally.
I also would've just liked to have...sat in moments a bit longer, to see how Wednesday deals with the emotional fall out of her choices. We don't see her struggle, she just barrels through with her choices, consequences be damned, and we never slow down enough to actually *watch* her emote. I have issues with how the Addams family in general, and as a result, Wednesday, were portrayed in this iteration, and, while I notice that micro-expressions and small acting decisions are largely bereft of this generation of actors (ugh hate to be THAT guy but alas), I think the devil is in the details, especially when it comes to characters like this, and the ability to elevate and add nuance to them, and there was definitely room to do that. Even with the dogged pace the show kept us at with this bizarre plot, there was room for her to do more to show Wednesday's growth/conflict/small moments from ep 1 to the finale.

Hello....Can I ask your top 10 favorite anime (can be series or movies) that you've finished? And why do you love them? Thanks if you want to answer....
Sure, I'll just grab the top of my MyAnimeLi-- actually, hmm, can I trust past me's ratings? Does current me remember how past me was scoring these?
WE’LL DO IT LIVE! In no particular order, and under the cut to avoid blasting yinz with a wall-o-text:
Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Okay, so I fully get people who don't want to slog through this because it can be painfully slow and dry, but that's what drew me to it. In terms of world-building and showing your work, this is one of the best sci-fi political dramas you'll find in any medium. It's also great if you pay attention US current events and want to be even MORE worried about the decline of the republic.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood: A wild ride from start to finish, with an amazing cast and well-written escalation as evil plots materialize. Great balance of action, drama, and comedy. I'm struggling to think of another show that lasted four or more cours where I didn't, at any point, think, "Huh, it's really dragging lately." Fond memories of watching this in anime club, too.
Patlabor 2: The Movie: All of Patlabor is pretty great, and you can jump between the TV series and the OVAs/movies depending on what kind of tone you want in your giant robot police procedural. The second movie is a gripping political thriller that asks some very big and scary questions about the nature of peace and power; as with LoGH, it’s one of those that maybe you wanna hold off on if current events are stressful.
Macross Plus: It distills all of the Macross essentials into a tidy two-hour package with high-quality animation, lovely Yoko Kanno soundtrack, and one of the most gorgeous mechs ever to grace the screen, the YF-19. Virtual idol Sharon Apple gets bonus points for the effort made to make her music not sound contemporary. Also makes it painfully clear how much Japan loves Top Gun for whatever reason.
Chihayafuru: Completed in that I’ve watched what’s been adapted. This is somehow an honest-to-goodness sports anime which effectively hits all the tropes, surrounds the MCs (who are huge dorks themselves) with a quirky ensemble cast, and has introduced audiences to an incredibly Japanese cultural curiosity, competitive Hyakunin Isshu karuta. Shout-out to the Kitakyushu Manga Museum for finally giving me the opportunity to buy a plush Snowmaru.
Mobile Suit Gundam: I’m always going to have a soft spot for Wing; it was my first and I’ve yet to run into a Wing mech that I don’t instinctively like. But in terms of world and characters, the OG is where it’s at. Massive appreciation for the depth of the story being told in what was supposed to just be a toy commercial for Mr. Bandai in 19-freakin-79. Amuro and Char have grown to be larger-than-life and there’s just something comforting about seeing and hearing them whenever something new pops up. (Yes, even the damn McDonald’s commercial that Ikeda Shuuichi was paid real money to do.)
Psycho-Pass: Continuing with the theme of “here are some uncomfortable truths about modern society and we’re not being subtle,” we have Akane, the mythical good cop in a sea of actual violent criminals. Watching her slowly learn how the world works, hate it, deal with it, and then face it on her own terms -- chef’s kiss. Side note, shout-out to the time @lindoreda and I went to see the stage play, and I was one of the few dudes there, and we could feel the room collectively inhale when Kubota Yuki took his shirt off.
Flag: Flag is told from the perspective of a photojournalist embedded within a UN task force carrying out peacekeeping operations in generic central Asian country. And when I say “from her perspective,” I mean that literally, as almost the entire show is seen through her camera lens with occasional side-views from another journalist’s POV or onboard camera footage during missions. It’s a unique and painfully contemporary (although it’s, what, over 15 now?) mecha that I need to rewatch sometime.
Haikyuu!!: I’m giving Haikyuu a nod over some other excellent contenders (Kuroko and Daiya come immediately to mind) because it has all the elements I expect -- lovable cast, action-packed matches, special attacks that straddle the line of unbelievability -- plus a selfish intangible. I can cosplay Asahi without a wig and a quick shave, because manbun has been my default for years. It’s nice having a show I like where I can just take one look at a dude and be like, yup, I can wear that to cons until I start turning gray.
Shinkalion: I WOULD BE REMISS NOT TO MENTION THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT TRANSFORMING-BULLET-TRAIN FRANCHISE OF MY LIFETIME, WHICH IS A TOY COMMERCIAL HIDDEN WITHIN THE STORY OF A BUNCH OF KIDS CONFRONTING BIG PROBLEMS AND FINDING SOLUTIONS THAT MAKE ALL THE ADULTS IN THE ROOM THINK, YEAH, WE CAN TRUST THEM WITH THE FUTURE AND THE FUTURE IS NOW.

GOSH. I miss your rhink fanfic! You wrote them so well before we basically knew anything real about their shared history. Your voice for Rhett is so spot on in that’s it’s desperate, arrogant, & ambitious all at the same time and all of those emotions are always aimed at link - which is it’s redeeming/endearing factor. Something I think is interesting is that Rhett is tolerable because Link is so earnest and Link is watchable because Rhett is able to cater to each mercurial mood change. You just wrote them so.. *chefs kiss*. Anyways your word prompts for already written fic reminded me of your works which are still some of my favorite in the fandom all these years later.
This is so nice! So thoughtful! So sweet! And I definitely agree that Rhett and Link balance each other out in the best way, for some quality entertainment. I wouldn't find Rhett's rants half as funny if Link wasn't mouthing along and mimicking him, and Link sucking at all games wouldn't be as endearing if Rhett wasn't tottering between patronizingly cheering him on and genuinely rooting for him (slash selfishly reveling in his wins.) That's like the tip of the iceberg, though, because they just seem to FIT in a cliche "oh, they're soulmates" kinda way. I wouldn't say I'm back on my rhink bullshit, buuut I have been catching up on Ear Biscuits and watching older episodes (shoutout to the conjoined ep, still a classic) and the more they spill about their shared history, the more my brain cells start wiggling around.

Your Wedding Gifts
A total of ten thousand pounds was what Michael counted out, many of the gifts were cash stuffed into envelopes, one half in bills and the other in cheques, you told him to make sure it was put into the account for the orphanage you run.
A trousseau, ones with perfect quality fit for the daughter nobleman…a shady one but one nonetheless. You were given the finest silk and cotton embroidered handkerchiefs to have in your purse.
His and her satin and silk pillow cases with the initials of the bride and groom, along with bath and lounging robes, slippers, and from your closet friends, negligees, the prettiest and naughtiest ones they could find.
Sixteen bottles of vintage wines and champagnes from all over the world, one of your favorites you recognized being from Switzerland.
A new fur winter coat from your great grandmother she ordered from France
An heirloom that was now to be passed down to you given to the eldest daughter (you being the only daughter) after she is to be wed, a tiara that once belonged to your great great great grandmother, the first Duchess of your family on your farmer’s side, you would wear this on many special formal occasions, one that you knew for sure you’d wear it is during your fathers upcoming celebration for being inducted into the House of Lords.
A ruby necklace and earring set gifted by your godparents
Though it would be spring soon, it was still very much freezing outside, so a new pair of cashmere gloves and sweater would do you some good
It wasn’t just your family, friends and associates that gifted you something
Tommy’s side of the family were most generous in giving you a new horse, she was an adorable brown filly from Charlie, you ended up naming her Pride
Polly given you her mother’s ring, she didn’t have a daughter if her own to pass it down to anymore , and Ada had already been given a necklace a long time ago, you being the next best thing she thought you were deserving of having such a sentimental heirloom, one you’d always cherish
And most importantly, Tommy had given you something that he couldn’t wait for you to see, and that was Arrow House, he given you a tour of the grand house before you both left for your two week honeymoon to Paris
You had a large comfortable home waiting for you once you returned, you were too young for a ladies maid before you left home for university, but now you had one, a widow named Mrs. Rakes, she drew you a bath with some drops of rose water
“Madam, the chef has informed me that dinner will be ready in about fifteen minutes, I have your pajamas laid on your bed, I’ll be ready for you when you get out”
“Yes, thank you Mrs. Rakes, afterwards you may be dismissed to have your dinner and settle in for the night, I’ll be fine”
“Yes madam”
She curtsies to you before leaving the bathroom, leaving you to a warm, steam filled room, you reached for your bar of goats milk soap to finish scrubbing your body with, soon enough Tommy came in to check on you.
“You comfortable in there love?”
“I am my darling”
“And….the baby?”
“Hasn’t been giving me any troubles, no headaches or nausea”
“Good boy, no more worrying your mummy”
He reaches into the water to rub your belly, then grabs the sponge to help you wash your back
“I have a lot planned for our future love, all that I do I do for you, and our soon to be family, you know that right?”
“Of course I do baby”
“Good”
He gives you deep kiss, he plays with your hair while you finish up with your bath, he looked forward with spending the rest of his life proving to you and your family how much he was worth being the man to make you happy.

The Flowers Always Know

(Slow burn)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Language.
Link to Masterlist
Comment: Another day of side-effects where my head really hasn’t been in the game. But a little fun stuff to pass the time has managed to crop up.
So sorry for the tease ending... I blame the headaches.
Chapter 27
The Chef, Greg, had personally brought you extra leftovers during the five weeks you were living in the cell, training and learning about your abilities. He knew about your abnormal energy-consumption, and had become concerned when you never ordered more than a double portion of food, no matter how exhausted you were.
So, he’d come to give you the leftovers one evening, and you’d explained that it felt like you’d be stealing from others that might need it, if you ordered six or even eight portions.
After that, he’d begun saving all the leftovers every day, and bringing you that for the extra portions you otherwise wouldn’t have ordered.
“I may have to make Greg my Best Man.”
“He’d probably decline. He’s nice, but he does have standards.”
“Ouch…”
“He doesn’t know you, Cujo.”
“Okay, seriously, what is up with that?”
“It’s just an accurate description.”
“I am not a fucking dog.”
“Yes, you are. It’s just that, ordinarily, you’re a puppy. You just have that lovable puppy-face, with the eyes and the grin that can melt the coldest of hearts. And then, you bare your teeth and growl, and you look fucking terrifying.”
“I do?”
“Um – yes. Unequivocally – yes. It’s amazing.”
“Wait… you like my Cujo-quality?”
“I like that you have that side, when you need it. I like that it comes out almost exclusively to protect the things you love. And I have to admit that I like the fact that even the remotest possibility that William actually had tried something, elicited that kind of a response from you.”
“I was a little shocked at how strongly I reacted to that. Just the thought… I would’ve killed him, if he had. Not because you… belong to me. But because you were weak and unable to stop anyone that might have tried. Thank god William’s even more of a puppy than I am.”
“Will is more of a Greyhound.”
“What?”
“Yeah, you know – sleek, effective, streamlined.”
“Okay, let’s just drop the whole dog-topic already.”
“And, just for the record – of course I belong to you. Ass-hat.”
He practically beamed at you.
“Ditto. Mama bear.”
You’d been talking while walking back from lunch, and when you got back to your office, Anita was there. Just standing in the middle of the room, with her signature scowl in full effect.
“Hi, mom. Wow, you’re actually in the office, it must be serious.”
“Fifty noise-complaints in the last hour – is serious.”
You both stopped smiling, and threw a nervous glance at one another, but she just huffed and turned to you.
“Have you had yourself checked out by medical, yet?”
“No… why would I…?”
“Because human beings don’t possess the biological imperative to breed, to the point where their libidos take control of their bodies.”
You had actually checked both your offices for cameras and microphones a good while back, and found nothing. And there weren’t any fucking flowers in your office!
“How the hell do you know that? Seriously… How?”
She just rolled her eyes.
“Get your ass down to medical. Now.”
“No.”
“Excuse me?”
“Whatever it is, I feel fine now, which means they probably wouldn’t be able to detect anything abnormal, so I’m gonna finish my work for the day, and then I’ll go to medical.”
You walked over to your desk as you spoke, and as you sat down, you remembered something.
“And by the way, where you in charge of selecting my substitute while I was gone?”
“Yes. Petra wasn’t ideal.”
“You don’t say. If I’m ever gone for an extended period of time again, no one sets foot in my fucking office. Got it?”
“Did you just try and give me an order, loco?”
“I’m not trying anything. I’m telling you. No one.”
She threw you a kinda skewed smile and then turned around to leave. But as she crossed the threshold she stopped and looked back at you with pure steel in her eyes.
“4pm. If you’re not at medical by then, I’ll drag you there by your ear.”
“Try it. Please.”
She left and you sighed and looked at Marcus, who had sat down on the couch again, one arm draped over the backrest while he’d watched you take on Máma.
“Are you absolutely sure you feel fine? Because I’m all kinds of hot and bothered right now.”
“50 noise-complaints, Marcus. That’s half the damned building.”
“And like I said: fuck ‘em.”
“Please go away so I can think.”
“Only if you promise to call me the moment you feel any amount of craving. I’m serious.”
“You think I want to feel like that again? Of course I’ll call, and you’d better pick up. I don’t care if HQ’s on fire.”
“You have my word, famb.”
“You know, your list of nicknames is getting a bit ridiculously long.”
“Oh, I haven’t even started on the real one’s yet.”
“Real ones?”
“Prometida, esposa, amada, mi corazón…”
“Okay, okay, have as many as you like, jeez.”
“Which one’s your favourite?”
“You already know.”
He got up from the sofa and came over to kiss you before he left. His lips lingered long after the kiss ended.
“Hermosa…”
He was intoxicating. You put a hand up on his chest and pushed him away gently.
“Get out of here, gorgeous. Mama’s got work to do.”
“Oh, that’s mean. You know how I love it when you talk all husky like that.”
“I’ll call you if I need you.”
He walked away looking disappointed, but also kind of expectant, like he was looking forward to getting you back later. You smiled and shook your head after the door closed behind him.
You did get a lot of work done after that, and even if you were still miles behind from catching up to where you’d been 7 weeks ago, it still felt good to have gotten back on track. Especially on what had been possibly the weirdest day of your life. Which was saying something.
Your libido stayed calm and behaved for the rest of the workday, but you did see Anita’s point in getting yourself checked over, and so you were planning on going to the med-bay.
But at 3:30 you were working on your computer, looking up rare metals for an upcoming build, and you sort of stumbled over a site for wedding-rings.
You were just gonna take a quick peak, scrolling through the various options, and getting progressively more worked up as you saw the price-tags.
You were just about to leave the page and go back to work, when an ad in the corner popped up.
Wedding-dresses.
Fuck.
You clicked.
“If you thought I was kidding about the ear, you were sorely mistaken.”
You startled at the sound of her voice, and a puff of energy escaped you, sending papers flying everywhere.
“Thanks a lot, Anita. Why don’t you give me a heart-attack while you’re at it?”
“Don’t be so dramatic. It’s not my fault you were so engrossed in that screen you didn’t notice me. What were you looking at, anyway?”
Had half an hour already passed? You just clicked on that ad a second ago… And why was she looking at you like that?
“Just research.”
“Mhm. Let’s go.”
“Alright, just let me get these papers off the floor.”
As expected, since the event seemed to have passed, the medical exam didn’t reveal anything, and Anita seemed unnecessarily peeved about that.
“What are you so upset about? What exactly did you think they’d find?”
“Nothing. Never mind.”
“Never mind, my ass. You all but dragged me to this exam, and now you’re disappointed. So, spill. What’s the deal?”
“I just hoped that maybe… you increased enthusiasm was…”
“Was…?”
“Alright, most women experience increased sensitivity when they’re pregnant. I just wanted to be sure.”
You sort of half froze midway through pulling your pants back on, and your hands involuntarily went to your abdomen.
“Oh… I never even considered…”
“I’m sorry, niña. I didn’t mean to upset you.”
“No, I’m not upset. God, I don’t even know what I am.”
You finished dressing and sat down on a chair, letting your head fall into your hands.
“Eight months ago, I was just a designer, going on a fucking vacation. Now, I don’t even know what the hell I am anymore, much less what to do. Every time I think I’m starting to get a handle on things, something else happens and I’m lost again.”
She tapped your leg with her cane, ushering you to look at her.
“What you are, is my son’s fiancé. My granddaughter’s adoptive mother. You’re smart, highly capable and stubborn, kind and caring, but abrasive when the situation requires it. You’re everything you need to be. And that’s all you ever really need to know about yourself.”
You drew a deep breath.
“Do you think he made the right choice? With me?”
“Yes. Yes, I do.”
“Thank you.”
You called Marcus to let him know how the exam had gone, and he was just about to pick up Missy, so since you had your own car you told him you’d race him home.
But you decided to stop by Amanda’s house on the way. You wanted to talk to both of them, but her place was closer.
When you walked in at home, Missy was in the living room playing a video-game with Noodles, A Capella and Wild Card. It had been a while since she’d had any friends over, and you smiled when you saw how much fun she was having.
“Hey, Alma! Wanna see me crush these guys for the second time?”
“Any day of the week, angel, but I gotta talk to your dad right now.”
“Okay, suit yourself!”
You laughed and walked into the kitchen to find him opening pizza-boxes and distributing slices onto plates.
“Hey, sweetheart, sorry, this wasn’t planned, they just spontaneously asked if they could come over as I was picking her up.”
“Honey, why are you explaining yourself?”
“I don’t know… it’s just, with the weird day you’ve had and how you seemed a little down after the exam, I thought that maybe you weren’t quite in the mood for a house full of teenagers.”
“No matter how I feel, Missy’s entitled to enjoy herself with her friends. I would never wanna deprive her of that.”
“No, I know. I just worry about you.”
“Yeah, I do too, sometimes. But that’s usually when I remember I have you, and it all feels better.”
He smiled and asked you to help him carry out the food to the living room, and once you’d done that, you sat down at the dinner table to eat yourselves.
“So… I may have googled wedding-dresses today.”
He beamed.
“Really? Did you manage to narrow down any preferences? Don’t give me any specifics, by the way.”
“I did, I think. Or, at least, I found a lot of stuff I didn’t like, so I guess that helps. I don’t know, I feel like I need to see them, touch them, to actually get a sense of what I like.”
He beamed even more.
“I really like the sound of this. I’m sure Amaire would come with you if you asked.”
“Yeah, I kind of already asked them to, this weekend.”
He was fucking radiating joy at that point. He got up and took your hand, leading you to the bedroom and closing the door behind you.
Then he reached into his pocket and fished something out. His smile turned just a hint of insecure, as he held up the ring he’d chosen for you.
It was gold-plated steel, with a single row of small diamonds sunk into the centre of the band all the way around. A sturdy and solid piece that wouldn’t break or lose its shape.
While you admired it, he started trying to explain his choice.
“I know you’re not much of a jewellery-girl, so I figured we’d skip the whole engagement ring plus wedding-band. You can wear it right away if you want and then just take it off before the ceremony, or you can wait and put it on then, either way is fine with me. That is, if you like it? If you don’t, we’ll take it back and you can pick something else. It just felt right as soon as I saw it. You’re not the frail silver band type of person, and I know you’d only get annoyed with a big rock getting in the way and getting caught in stuff. You work with your hands and so I figured something sturdy but elegant. I have a matching one just without the diamonds. Please say something before I pass out from oxygen-depravation…”
“I love it.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Really.”
You both beamed.
“Can I put it on you?”
“You better.”
He slipped it on your finger and it fit perfectly. And for the first time it really sunk in that you were gonna marry this man. The love of your life.
It felt like a really long time until the kids went home and Missy went to bed, with her headphones on.
“I totally forgot, we need to go bed-shopping, honey.”
“I don’t know, a mattress on the floor might be preferable until we know the extent of your ‘heat-situation’.”
“Mm. Good point. Although, breaking in a new bed is always fun.”
“Hermosa.”
“What?”
“Stop talking and get undressed. I’ve been waiting for this all night.”

ONEUS Fancall Writeup
In summary: aldjalskdjdkfjkdj I should have thought of more to say, but it was enough just to meet them and they were so kind and amazing, 10/10 group, will stan forever as long as they behave themselves, which I trust they will.
(sorry for potato quality on the gifs. That’s the unfortunate reality of Wi-Fi video calls. I tried my best to at least color them a bit)
FIRST OF ALL, MMT get your queue in order. I got the message that said “your call’s coming up very soon, be on standby” and literally ONE SECOND LATER Skype was ringing, ahhhhhhhhh
The thing with fancalls is that it’s always disorienting to see the member order. Like you can’t prepare for that. You never know which person is next until the phone is passed.
Also, I got too caught up in past fansigns with asking questions so I just focused on what I wanted to tell each member here, and... well, that was a mistake. I should have indeed prepared some questions. I just feel like everything’s been asked at this point, you know?? More on that later. Anyway I felt like the time limits per member in this call stretched on for AGES, and I was not prepared to fill the space well aaaskdjhaskjdhsa I’m sorry everyone.
🐥LEEDO
First up was Leedo, and tbqh the boy looked checked out, but he was still so wonderful. They’re probably so tired and working so hard, so I felt a little bad. And, honestly, Leedo was the one I had the least to say to because idk I love him but I have kind of a silent respect for him. I’d let Leedo do his own thing and just nod at him in acknowledgement if we ever met irl
I told him that he’d looked really happy lately, and that I hoped he was taking care of himself and doing well. I also told him I hoped he was eating his vegetables (shoutout to @highponyleedo - admittedly I panicked 😂).
🐥: I’ll think about that.
I told him that he’s inspiring and that I think about him when I work out (which is true! Gotta get buff like Leedo!) It was a nice little convo, and I was still VERY nervous at this point having been thrust DIRECTLY into the call. In every fansign I’ve been in (four at this point), the first member is always unfortunately sort of a throwaway for my mind because I’m still scrambling 😖
He was beautiful and gracious nonetheless.
🐱RAVN
He has never done anything wrong, ever in his life.
OKAY SO
YOUNGJO TRIED TO DO OUR WHOLE CONVO IN ENGLISH???
I WAS SO IMPRESSED
HE’S SO WONDERFUL
🐱: Your hair is green?
✌🏻: Yes!
🐱: Like my hair for Easily song
lksdjsalkjdaksdj ❤️
I also gave him a cheesy personal message of encouragement, and in the process I mentioned that I’m so much older than him (I AM) but I find him to be kind of a role model (I DO), and that I hope he gets to be his true self and make art that makes him happy.
🐱, aka this bitch: Age is not important.
✌🏻, knowing he has a noona problem: For some things, yes, you’re right!
I also showed him a fanart I drew of him, and immediately he was like “Oh, Procreate?” Yeah, boooiiii. Also he said my art was good but I’m sure he wouldn’t have said anything negative to a fan so... I just wanted him to see it lmao.
Youngjo spent almost the entire call like this, so there aren’t many great gif opportunities, but I’m glad he got to practice his English with me! How special!
As the phone was passed to the next member, Youngjo calls out: “You are very young!”
I love he. I’d fight him in a Denny’s parking lot, but I love he. For what purpose, that smile??
🐶XION
My son.
***Hey. Self. Note for the future: next time prepare a little more to say to your Ult.***
Okay, like, Xion looked RADIANT what the hell. See proof below
I gave him a very cheesy personal message about how I’ve watched him grow and improve and it makes me so happy, he makes me so happy with his music and his kindness. Also I mentioned that his makeup skills are always on point and look so, so good.
🐶, like immediately, proudly: Oh, thank you!!
I’ve lived a long and good life. But now I have expired. I have deceased. My ult smiled at me like this, and I have ascended to the next plane of existence.
However I’m coming back from the dead to finish this writeup and also to keep shitposting.
Anyway I would and did die for him.
BONUS: his reaction when I was like “I swear I thought I had more written out, I was like ‘oh I have so much to say to Xion’ and now here I am just staring at you.”
🐯HWANWOONG
Best! 👏🏻Boy! 👏🏻
(they’re all best boy, but Hwanwoong was just so on. He’s really just so welcoming and kind, ahhhhh)
I told him I’ve really been enjoying the 1theK choreography videos, then I mentioned the Cardi B choreo specifically and did a chef’s kiss motion, and this was his reaction (along with “thank you for watching that!”:
Then I asked him if there was a song he really wanted make some choreography for, but he hadn’t had the chance yet.
He thought, and then he swerved me by saying it was a SECRET and I’d have to stay tuned. 👀👀👀👀 You know I will, ya tricky lil’ bean.
Also hey who gave him the right??? To be so cute?? Like, stop. (don’t stop.)
🐰KEONHEE
So there’s this thing I’ve noticed with fansigns, where there’s always one member who just knocks the fansign experience out of the park so thoroughly that they steal a piece of my heart I never expected to give. For this fansign, that was Keonhee.
At this point I was also realizing I didn’t have much prepared to say, and I was just kind of riffing. But I did want to tell him that we had two things in common: we both studied ballet, and we both sang opera. I thanked him for the recent VLive where that was A Whole Thing, and then:
🐰, in English no less: Can you show me?
I don’t know what I expected. But I did show him. I sang a couple of operatic scales for him because I was like “what the hell, why not? Lee Keonhee’s gonna hear me sing opera. This is what my training was for.”
So that happened even though I was definitely nervous and forgot to open my throat up as much as I should have. It’s been a while, okay?
He also pointed out the LED moon lamp I keep on my side desk, which I’d forgotten to turn on before the call. So luckily Lee Keonhee was there to remind, at 5/6 of the way through my call!
🐿SEOHO
Firstly, I was taken in by the cool retro style jacket, so I mentioned that.
What’s with this little dance he did when I was gearing up to tell him what I wanted to say? Anyway he’s cute.
Then, I told him that Dizzy is one of my favorite ONEUS songs, and that he should definitely try to do more songwriting in the future if he wants.
He agreed. 😂
Then, he sang a little bit of Dizzy for me, but the sound was really not doing me any favors at this point in the call so it came through a little choppy ahhh.
So there you have it! All in all an amazing experience, would definitely do it again but would definitely prepare more to say/do/ask! I just don’t want to go in like an interviewer, but I also don’t know what else to do when there’s The Language Barrier, even with an interpreter. I’m definitely not in this for the boyfriend wish fulfillment or aegyo (Xion can’t help it), but since there is SO MUCH I could conceivably ask about, I’ve got fodder for future fansigns.
I hope you enjoyed!!!

Downfalls High
Thoughts? feelings?
I’m gonna put a read more on this for people who don’t want to read all my opinions. I will resume my regular shit posting and fic writing soon enough. I just need to talk about it.
Also this ended up being a lot longer than I thought it would be.
I’ve only watched it through once. But I'm gonna watch through again while I write this out so that I don’t miss anything I wanted to talk about.
So from the intro alone it wasn’t what I was expecting this isn’t a negative, just not a conventional movie. More like a short/indie short with a bigger budget than a standard indie. The end of Colson's monologue also doesn't add up to the ending of the film. But like it's a vibe so we move.
Why is this on Facebook at 1080p at best?, sound quality is so compressed on Facebook. Here's hoping they put it on youtube at least in 4k.
title track - I love this song so much. Still remember my first listen and being blown away by it and this part of the movie does it so much justice to be honest. Big up title track!
The transition into '8 months earlier' is so smooth, props to who decided on it.
kiss kiss - good intro to the characters. Colson playing the guitar out of the van window had me dead :')
some dialogue!
Also Sydney Sweeney we already been knew she is an amazing actress but she was sick in this. Chase Hudson did really well in this actually, I know he gets a lot of shit from coming from TikTok and things he's said in the past. Always hold people accountable but let them try and be better.
drunk face - really like how they did the sound mixing on this one so it wasn't a direct copy from the album. The Travis and Colson visuals for this one were great Idk I just liked it. Cute part of the film + the song just made this part *chef's kiss* VHS parts felt like they fit the vibe more here than on kiss kiss.
bloody valentine - at this point I was hoping for more speaking parts but then bv kicked in. I wish they either had more time or turned it into a series maybe? IDK the idea of the story is right there be perfect for a series. Visuals on Colson and Trav again perfect on this one, happy Slim and Baze were in on this one too. I think Baze and Slim being in this one is making it feel more like a show and missing me live music so much rn.
body bag - Okay so I got a little excited when the track started because I wasn't sure whether they would include songs off Sold Out, to be honest, but they did so v. grateful. This scene definitely went too quickly into another song though. More speaking pls.
forget me too - mohawk kells mohawk kells mohawk kells! - The reverse effect at the start was really smart. This part was slightly confusing at first cause they were fighting so I thought maybe she's told him she was pregnant. What a dick response but no she hadn't told him yet so just didn't make a lot of sense to me. Would have been cool to see the characters actually at/on the rink while they performed kind of like title track where it's like they're almost not really there.
all i know - Mod's cameo! The visuals of Colson and Trippie were good until the parts on the backlot, I feel like this just took you out of the movie. Like I get it but nah this one was my least favorite 'visualizer'. Loved Trippie's isolated vocals over the Sidney buying the guitar scene though.
lonely - AHHH this song, man think I cried the first 5 times I listened to it and when he played it live at the Roxy. The visuals for this one were perfect. VHS parts fit really well again here. "When the high runs out the downfall is inevitable." AHH so good just nothing bad to say about this part tbf.
WWIII - They hadn't location or time marked any other part so felt odd to add it at this point and also never do it again. Landon is basically mini Trav same facial expressions and everything thought it was sweet they put him in. Plus his acting was good. This is my go-to end of the week leaving work song. I know people have a lot of shit to say about this song online. But you have not lived till your going home fast in your car screaming this song.
hangover cure - another amazing song from Sold Out. Just vibin.
concert for aliens - okay actually really liked this scene besides people throwing up(?) in the visualizer part with Colson and Trav. Idk just weird I'm like scared of throwing up, cool Lil Aaron cameo tho.
my ex's best friend - no major thoughts just vibin.
split a pill - AHH this song, gutted only a background song tbf. It deserves all the love and more.
jawbreaker - alls I can think about is the serious clown lung they both must have after filming with all the flour :')
nothing inside - on the second watch I'm more confused at what Fenix is even doing. But loving Iann and Colson's visualizer. Okay, just a small breakdown guess he's okay now. To not have Fenix lip-sync to the "I'm running low on serotonin..." line was missed drama imo.
banyan tree interlude - beautiful. Don't you love that Megan wrote this? I do. But the pillow and blanket - bro - like I'm sad but got to be cozy right? :') also why not cut out the 'same' iykyk.
play this when i'm gone - 10/10 monologue. Honestly wasn't ready for it to end tho.
Wasn't what I expected but honestly, it's so sick. Very grateful for Colson and Mod and anybody else who worked on it, because no matter what I've written above about not liking or understanding certain parts I did love it. It's a crime we haven't got to see these songs performed in person yet.
if you’ve read this far, hi :)
also if you want to talk about it drop me a message
