I cooked some shuffle units

Murder mystery

Okay, this one is the one that prompted all this. Please this would be the fucking funniest thing ever (I think I already did this exact lineup somewhere)

Just. Consider Shu's beef against Eichi, then you got Eichi's beef against tomoya. All the while there's whatever himeru and tattsun got going on. Also meru's detective thingy

Steampunk

I just want mayoi on a big ass ship again serving cunt. Also mayoi and nii-chan interactions. Rei is there because of course he is (we ignore that they were both in la mort). Everybody in this shuffle at some point has to clown on sena because it's morally correct to clown on izumi sena

Fairytale

Very obviously not inspired by dragons flying over a nowhere forest by ao3 user 21397942794 (lie) (you should read it btw it's really good it has a dragon and midoyuzu)

Also naru is a princess and midoyuzu shenanigans. Also yuzuara. And sora going "I know what you are" to Midori. Nagisa is there because I need to further my "Midori having weird but wholesome friendships with everyone in Eden" agenda. But also the bridal march tour gave me brainworms for yuzuru and nagi friendship

Circus themed

It's actually just me making an excuse to put torikasa in a unit. And jun going "haha mini ohii-san" to Tori. Torikasa being insufferable to each other that Kanata looks at them and then plays clown music because they're fucking idiots (affectionate). Mika just vibes. Also momo and sumomo returns

Megane

That's it. That's the whole shuffle unit. Just the guys with glasses. And chiaki. He gets a new glasses card. This fanservice for the megane fans (me, I am the megane fans)

Also one of them loses their glasses at one point and they have to stumble around to look for it like Velma does (it's either keito or mugi)

Futuristic

Madaleo.

They also probably use the VR thing again. And the closest thing we'll ever get to DF comeback. Mao and yuta are there because I think it's funny if they got to witness the insane chaos in the front row while kohaku's like "first time?"

Vibing at the zoo

Peachy and Thunder returns and is featured in a card that's higher than 3✩. Please HappyEle bring back the frogs....

Also wawa's birds are here, and Leon. Subaru would be here, but that would mean 3/4(?) of ANIMALS are in this unit. And I need hiiro vibing with kuro. Maybe a sparring session between them

Beach day

BEACH DAY!! Kaoru teaches mitsuru to surf and Niki grills food on the beach. Everyone is having fun. Subaru and mitsuru race with daikichi on the beach. Life is good

Obligatory someone gets hit by a volleyball in the head (it's kaoru)

Survival-esque horror

Halloween I think? Think zombie apocalypse and these are the main characters tying to survive

And also because literally any interaction with rinne is fucking funny as hell. Also remember in the main story when the bees were causing trouble? Yeah. The whole fiasco with tricking Akatsuki, kicking koga off the stage, the ryuseitai being called fake heroes incident (and rinne and niki running off on a motorcycle only for Kanata and chiaki to catch up with them and tie them up to bring them back to es). Yeah. Rinne gotta deal with that. Interesting things. And rinne gets to make fun of aira about hiiro's marriage proposal in matrix

#im not tagging everyone #just some of them #shu itsuki #mayoi ayase #yuzuru fushimi #kanata shinkai #keito hasumi #leo tsukinaga #wataru hibiki #kaoru hakaze #rinne amagi #enstars

Kazuki Dragging Rei Around

I skimmed through the episodes again (#1 - 7) to see when exactly Kazuki drags Rei around and in what kind of situations. Now, I didn’t fully rewatch all the episodes, just skim them, so I may have missed an instance, but this is what I found:

Episode 1: No dragging at all, even in the opening scene where they need to go to the daycare to pick up Miri.

Episode 2: This iconic scene, of course.

Where Kazuki is dragging Rei and carrying Miri from the gun fight going down. In this situation it’s just a safety thing. He needs to get all three of them out of there. He basically has to drag Rei away even though Rei is in his element. Though, because Rei is in his element here, he doesn’t make any complaints about this, he’s just focused on shooting his gun. Rei also doesn’t have much of an emotional attachment to Miri yet.

Episode 3: Kazuki doesn’t physically drag Rei anywhere in this episode. But he does kind of bring him along for the ride to see Miri’s mother.

Rei kinda just goes along with it though, probably because he knows that Kazuki does actually want to keep Miri and he has started to form his own emotional attachment to her. But yeah, he is initially just met to keep an eye on Miri. Miri drags him to the park to play in a way too.

Though, once again, no physical dragging takes place here.

Episode 4: This is the episode where Kazuki drags Rei. He drags two times for sure, and one time that is heavily implied:

The first drag is to the first daycare that turned out to be an awful place. The second time is only implied and it is to Miri’s daycare (Aozora). The last time is when they are at Kyu’s bar and have to go pick up Miri at the daycare. In all of these cases, Rei was being dragged away from or being kept from indulging in activities and habits he likes (video games and smoking) to do something responsible and largely connected to Miri. He is also in his “Off” mode during all of these moments, not in his “On” mode and focused on his job.

The rest under a Read More due to length.

Episode 5: Kazuki doesn’t drag Rei around in Episode 5, but Miri does for at one point.

When the subject of their jobs gets brought up, Rei was going to try and escape it by jumping into his work “Scouting time.” But Miri sees him, stops him, asks him a few questions, and that causes him to turn around. No need to drag him back when Miri does it for him, lol.

It shows how Miri has a much bigger influence on Rei now.

Episode 6: Kazuki drags Rei, but not because Rei doesn’t want to go somewhere, but more so because they aren’t supposed to go there.

Rei and Miri are once again shown to be very similar in this regard. Miri is shown to be a good kid who sticks to the rules. That is her general understanding of “right vs wrong” at this stage in her life. Taiga is shown going against the rules, so she knows that he is wrong. He also goes against societal rules (taking food, etc.) to get attention, so Miri also views that as being “wrong” and “mean.” Because often “mean things” are things that hurt others in society.

Now, we know because of Rei’s upbringing that he doesn’t necessarily have a normal sense of right from wrong. In Episode 1 he was ready to shoot through Miri to get their target after all. But from the brief interactions we’ve seen with his father (and based on the kind of work that he was trained to do from a young age), it would make sense that Rei would be hyper aware of following rules that are laid down for him.

So that’s why he doesn’t want to go to the zoo. Not because he wouldn’t want to (when they actually get there, he seems quite excited at going to a zoo for the first time), but because it was something they were told they shouldn’t do by the daycare. Those were the rules. Mirii is kinda the same. Taiga does something he isn’t supposed to do (like Kazuki), Miri follows/gets dragged along (like Rei), but both her and Rei end up having a bit of an adventure and a good time (overall).

Episode 6 is also the first time we see Rei (alone) bring Miri to school. It’s likely a first in general, since Rei was shocked at Miri stating she wanted him to bring her in. And I think that is a key thing to note here, Miri basically demands that Rei bring her in and not Kazuki:

She doesn’t ask. She states that Rei will bring her, so he is kinda “dragged” into doing so by Miri. He really has no other choice.

Because neither Rei nor Kazuki are certain about how Miri is feeling about Kazuki after going to the zoo, Rei has to be the one that picks her up from daycare as well. Once again, there really isn’t any other option.

Episode 7: Now, in Episode 7, there isn’t any dragging on a physical or narrative level here in regards to Rei, Kazuki, or Miri. Kazuki does up and leave for the episode, but this isn’t dragging Rei into doing anything. Kazuki (and Miri) have both already done that enough with Rei. Now it is Rei’s time to drag himself into doing things. And he does them.

When Miri asks about daycare, she isn’t demanding he bring her like Episode 6, she just asks about it. Rei realizes the time and then he actively gets up and starts getting Miri ready and brings her there (and then back). Miri will remind Rei of the things he needs to do with her in this episode (”I’m hungry” etc.), but Rei is the one that actively does it on his own (even if it is just ordering pizza).

It will be interesting to see if Kazuki and/or Miri dragging Rei around physically or narratively will continue to happen now or if the series will stick to this growth we’ve been seeing build up, and have Rei take the initative on his own more and more.

From 2010- Goodbye 2011

2011

Part 16

18th December 2011 London

Nervously I jump around on the spot hearing thefans all scream just as the VT comes on introducing us

"Ok huddle" Liam says with his arms out. We all huddle together "we are only ever going to get one first show. Let's make this count. I know we're all nervous, but let's go out there and just have a good time. Let's smash it'

"Let's go!" Harry yells making me laugh as we all run on stage holding our microphones and immediately Na Na Na starts playing. After our first song we then sing Stand Up then Wish "Good evening London!" Harry says at the end of the song "t'night is the start of our tour so we want you to sing as loud as ya can t'night. When we first got together we spent a lot of time at my house with a guitar around the fire singing some of our favourite songs. So that's exactly what we're gonna do f'you right now"

Finally it's time for our little medley/solo songs. I sit down between Harry and Zayn. First up is Zayn with I Got A Feeling, then Niall sings Stereo Hearts. As usual I do the high harmony while singing. Next up is Louis with Valarie, then it's Liam with Torn. Finally is my turn with I Wanna Dance With Somebody

"Clock strikes upon the hour" as I start singing I get to from my seat and walk towards the front of the stage "And the sun begins to fade. Still enough time to figure out. How to chase my blues away. I've done alright up 'till now. It's the light of day that shows me how. And when the night falls, loneliness calls" I turn to look at the boys smiling "Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me" the boys then all join in "Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me" Harry and Zayn place their arms around my shoulders

“think we should do it one more time don't you?" Niall says

"This time put your hands in the air and clap along" Zayn shouts and we sing the last part of the song acapella.

19th December 2011 Westcliff-on- Sea

"I just want to say on behalf of all of us thank you for turning up here tonight your the best fans in the world and your also very good on Twitter" Zayn says into his mic

"We've actually been looking at our favourite tweets today" Liam says “Ah here they are"

"I traveled all the way from Yorkshire on a train to be here" Louis says

"Oooo I like this one. What have you asked for Christmas?" Liam says

"Another dog" I say into my making all the boys laugh

"And what did ya dad say?" Harry asks

"No" I pout "but I just think cookie is lonely and needs a friend"

"I swear your gonna have a zoo one day" Zayn

laughs into the mic

"This was my favourite tweet" I say and turn to the screen "bloody hell I think I need my eyes testing. Ok errrm 'what have you brought on tour with you from home? I've brought a few photos of my family and friends. Ni?" I look at Niall who responds

"Yeah same. Photographs and a few home comforts"

We go through some more tweets then move on to our next song.

21st December 2011 Wolverhampton

"Ok so tonight is a very special night. Tonight we are in Liams home town. Everyone make some noise!" I shout into my microphone and the fans all start screaming "ok, so, because we are here, Liams family have come out. Where are they?" I ask scanning the front row when I finally see them waving"hi!” I wave back “we hope you guys enjoy the show"

"YN isn't your dad here as well?" Louis asks

"He is! And he brought my baby with him!'

"Cookie she means cookie" Liam says

"She's still my baby. Anyway she's probably asleep in my dressing room, either that or I'm going to find some presents when I go back" I nervously laugh, but I know cookie is most likely asleep

“Now because it's a special night we want to hear how loud you guys can be. So this side of the room you've got me and Harry" Louis says

"This side you've got me and Niall" Liam says

"And you guys have the best. Me and Zayn! Whooo! We’re so going to win”

"Ok ok pipe down YN” Niall says laughing

“Ok so we want to hear you scream as loud as you can. Ready?” Harry says “on 3. 1, 2, 3” Zayn and I pull a face and shake our heads

“We can do better than that can’t we?” Liam says “on 3”

“1, 2, 3” Zayn and I look at each other and smile

“Ok now let the best group go. Are we ready?” I ask and hear cheers

“Ok 3, 2, 1” the middle group scream as loud as they can

“Ok well clearly we won” I say turning to the boys

“m’not so sure” Harry replies

“Maybe we should just get everyone to scream that way we all win”

“Niall ever the pleaser” i mutter “fine. Ok we can all win, but only because you all know Zayn and I won. Ok ready! 3, 2, 1….. woah I think they could hear us half way across the globe!”

“The next song we’re going to sing is Up All Night” Niall introduces the next song.

22nd December 2011 Manchester

“Ok guys the next song we got for you is one of the very first songs we recorded straight off the show” Niall says while I grab a drink. Harry hands me a towel

“Thanks I pant taking the towel from him”

“This is everything about you” the music then starts and Liam starts singing. During the chorus I find Alex standing in the front and sing to him. He blows me a kiss making me smile.

After Daniel does is guitar solo it’s my turn to sing

“And you have always been the only one I wanted. And I wanted you to know without you I can't face it. All we want to have is fun, but they say that we're too young. Let them say what they want” I sing going high at the very end and prolong the note while the boys start the chorus

“Give it up for YN!” Niall says as I end the note then join in with the final chorus.

We then run off stage to do a quick change. At this point I’m so used to changing in front of the boys and they are too. They respect me enough not to look. I check myself in the mirror

“Do you think I should go natural?”

“You want to go on stage nude?” Harry asks raising a brow at me

“No my hair” I laugh “I’m getting a little bored of the red hair”

“What is your natural colour?”

“Brown”

“Go for it you can always change it again right?” Zayn says

“Guys your needed back on stage” with that we run back on stage to sing Use Somebody.

23rd December 2011 Manchester

“So, get out, get out, get out of my mind. And come on, come into my life I don't, I don't, don't know what it is. But I need that one thing And you've got that one thing” we sing and at the end Louis and Liam drag me to the ground making me squeal. I sit on the floor and look at the boys as they get up

“Seriously? Why?” I laugh. Niall puts his hands out and helps me up

“Sorry YN but we had to. It’s the last night of the tour for this year” Liam says

“Speaking of, we just want to say that we are having such a good time tonight, but non of this would be possible without our incredible band. So let’s give it up John on the keys, Josh on the drums, Sam on base and last but not least Dan on the guitar!” Louis introduces the band. Each one then playing the tune to What Makes You Beautiful

“Please give it up for our amazing band” Zayn shouts “and who knows we might come back to that song later”

“We definitely will” I laugh

“Now like Liam said. This is our final tour date for this year. Tonight we will be traveling home back for Christmas. So I want us to sing a Christmas song, are you guys down for that?”

“Depends on the song” Zayn says laughing

“I want all of you to sing along. Oh I wish it could be Christmas…” I point my microphone and the fans sing “ohh I wish it could be Christmas…. so let… for Christmas! Whooo that was amazing” I smile

“M’surprised you didn’ make that into a competition” Harry says then immediately regrets “wait no…”

“To late” I smile.

ever since they decided riptide was gonna be the promo song for the show, i've seen a lot of takes--it's ridiculous, it's campy, it's 2012 fan-made mv vibes, it's eerie, it's fun, it's stupid, it's perfect--but what it seems like everyone agrees on, is that the only real connection to percy jackson is the title also being the name of his beloved sword. i'm not saying that connection isn't enough by itself.. but i do think we could go a little deeper hehe so let's break down these lyrics, shall we? <3

**Riptide by Vance Joy Through the Lens of Percy Jackson**

I was scared of dentists and the dark

beautiful intro line to get us in the headspace of the literal child that is 12yo percy jackson.. maybe he was scared of dentists, who knows? but the point is that these are the kind of fears that a parent might be there to hold a child's hand through, and percy never had anyone but sally to do that. this line prepares us for just how strong of an impact the loss of her will be.

I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations

this is percy "stands in the corner playing basketball at the school dance" jackson. it's him losing his words when he notices how pretty annabeth is, but it's also an indication of his placement in the social hierarchy of his peers up until this point.

Oh, all my friends are turning green

green with jealousy because he has all the power of a child of the big 3? because he gets granted a quest on like day fucking one at camp? because he's a naturally talented sword-fighter to rival luke? .. or green because he's finally seeing the world as it is through his god-given green eyes? or green like kelp and algae and the tint of the sea as he befriends creatures in his father's domain?

You're the magician's assistant in their dream

i think if you see luke as the magician, with his tricks and lies, you could easily attribute this line to annabeth--i mean he did want her with him in his backwards dreams. he also saw her following him in dreams of the past, and saw her in the dream conjured by the river styx. but!! i think this line could also refer well to luke himself, where the magician is kronos.

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ahh-ah-ah And they come unstuck

(gonna be real.. i've never known what to make of this line oops)

Lady, running down to the riptide

first, i think of percy running straight for the riptide as a representation of how accepting he's a demigod and a child of poseidon also pulls him in deep into this narrative that has been constructed around him, both in regard to zeus's bolt and also the great prophecy as a whole. but, i think this could also be addressing annabeth, rushing toward percy (water, riptide, etc. you get the picture) and counting on him to take her away from the shore (camp). another option here, if we stick with luke as the person being addressed, is his being called and swept up by the seething rage and indignation that spirals him away from the calmer tides and into the hands of kronos, which....

Taken away to the dark side

yeah, this could very easily be referring to kronos. we can also use it for percy and annabeth both when thinking about the quest that took them to the underworld, which is quite literally the dark side. i also think it could refer to the darker side of the life of a demigod.. by percy stepping up to accept his identity, his eyes are opened to the monsters and manipulative gods and backstabbing (literally) friends and the vague promise of his own death.

I wanna be your left-hand man

oh hello zoo transport oreo sharing "bc you're my friend" scene hehehe also if we switch perspectives this does work well for luke for obvious reasons

I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

okay stay with me now.. sally pov to percy. like he's up on that metaphorical stage all alone and doing his best and he's gonna fail sometimes but he's singing his own song, the song he was always meant to sing *cries*. another option of this is annabeth looking at percy, who almost always gets the words wrong, but it's so enduring--seaweed brain (affectionate). we also have the potential for annabeth to be looking at luke and saying this, only his wrong words were the path he chose, and the lump in her throat is the pain of watching him betray her trust again and again. along those lines, i think there's also an argument here for the percy @ annabeth pov that i would be inclined to associate with this song... because he loves her and the hope and the trust she carries with her, but he sees the way those beautiful traits of hers make it difficult to see luke for the monster that he's become--right tune, wrong words.

There's this movie that I think you'll like This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City This cowboy's running from himself And she's been living on the highest shelf

a movie percy would think annabeth would like perhaps? annabeth ran away from home and wound up in new york. before that, she had been basically cast aside to collect cobwebs by her parents. when we meet her at the beginning too, she's very much been set on the highest shelf in the way that she's been set aside despite so desperately wanting a quest. but there's also the case that the movie being referred to here is about luke, who ends up running from himself in the sense that he chooses to stand opposite both his father and the family he created for himself after heading to new york. in that case, there's also the possible attribution of the object living on the highest shelf to thalia, whose tree luke would have looked at every day as a reminder of his cause, but who would have been unable to say anything herself, stuck collecting dust, so to say.

I just wanna, I just wanna know If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay I just gotta, I just gotta know I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

okay talk about percabeth coding.. percy's "annabeth don't" when he thought she was gonna join the hunters. annabeth freaking out after he came back from ogygia. percy printing the picture she sent becuase he couldn't trust that it (she, chb, etc.) was real. "you're not getting away from me, never again." etc. etc. etc. (please feel free to continue spiraling in this vein as i know i will). it's also giving luke and his manipulation tactics tho ngl..

I swear she's destined for the screen Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

we (percy) support our queen (annabeth). i could get lost in the percabeth of this all, but i also think it's important to go back to a previous pov we mentioned.. sally's as she watches percy go off on his own. and if the she in question is percy from sally's pov, it's his success that she sees, his happy ending, the one she's been willing upon him from day one. there's also the potential of this line to be about sally from percy's pov. he loves his mom and he's proud of her, and he'll do anything to bring her back from the underworld so that she can live the life she deserves.

so yeah, ig in conclusion, there's more meaning here than meets the eye :) but also that won't stop me from thinking about my favorite pen sword every time that word is sung <3

#leaving this all under the cut bc it got.. long lol #lyric analysis #pjo tv #pjo #percy jackson #annabeth chase #luke castellan #percabeth #riptide #vance joy #lyrics

not allowed, interlude | 20220918

drabble: ‘not allowed’ series; fluff, neck kisses pairing(s): est. relationship yoongi x reader x jungkook

You boyfriend found out you take photos of your other boyfriend, but you haven't asked to take photos of him. And he's salty about it! Not jealous. Okay, maybe a little jealous.

is this an excuse for wiyllt to have this photo on the blog again? yes. yes, it is.

“You took this photo?”

You glanced over and chuckled. “Yeah, Yoongi was taking selcas and I was annoying him by taking his phone. What are you doing? And I told him, smile, and that’s the photo.” You half-smirked. “I take photos of him all the time. With his phone, of course. He says it annoys him but he likes it.”

“All the time?”

You sensed… something.

You put your phone down – a difficult feat, considering you were currently planning out your next moves for a particular level of a particular puzzle game that featured seven big heads that you spent too much of your free time (and money) on – and caught those big brown eyes trying to hide from you, but there was no hiding the pout in that voice, or the one on his face, lips upturned to expose the small mole underneath that you loved so much.

You never shut up about it, after all.

You tilted your head at him, raising a questioning eyebrow.

Jeon Jungkook, the Golden Maknae of BTS, known for his big muscles, an even bigger presence on stage, and the biggest peepers of them all (a deadly combination), caved in immediately at the piercing quality of your gaze.

“You… You don’t take pictures of me, noona…” he mumbled, shifting his eyes to his phone, but not really looking at it. A shame, really, because the Instagram feed that belonged to SUGA of BTS was currently on his phone screen. It would have been very easy to tease him, but you didn’t.

“You aren’t tired of it?”

A tiny frown and inquisitive stare. “Huh?”

You let your gaze soften, giving him a rueful smile. “You know I can’t take photos of you on my phone. But, more importantly, you guys have cameras around you all day, not to mention the paparazzi. I don’t want to make you feel like you’re in a zoo.” You lowered your head, running your hand through your hair somewhat distractedly.

“You…”

You let your eyes drift back to him, to messy black hair haloing the handsome face you knew well, angular jaw and slightly parted lips, mature qualities that contrasted the bright youth within those starry eyes.

“Thank about all that?”

You smirked good-naturedly, trying to cloak your embarrassment.

“Of course. I love you.”

You loved to take photos of your boyfriend.

Problem was that you couldn’t because, well, he happened to be a global superstar that, ahem, shouldn’t be dating. You didn’t really care about that (and clearly he didn’t either, especially when he was balls deep) but you had rules nonetheless and one of them was not taking photos of each other with your personal phones. Obviously, you never took photos together either. However, unlike him, you could have hundreds of photos of said superstar on your phone. Thanks, HYBE. In fact, it would be weird if you didn’t. Being a fan of them was as natural as breathing.

That was your completely unbiased opinion as the one fucking SUGA and Jung Kook of BTS.

So.

Anyway.

You loved to take photos of Min Yoongi, yet you never did. One of the reasons did not need to be discussed. It must be tiring, after all, to be constantly followed by cameras and getting your pictures taken by staff and fans alike. Time with him was already limited. You didn’t want to make him feel like he was at work when you were together. Other reason was that there should be no tangible proof of you two dating. And, also.

When you first started dating, Yoongi did not believe he was photogenic.

He did enter the music industry to become a producer at first. His own appearance wasn’t the focal point nor something he paid much attention to – that’s obvious, you pointed out after seeing his audition video, earning you a disapproving glare and a grouchy growl – and then he was suddenly surrounded by idol trainees that were the highest of standards when it came to attractiveness, leading him to think, well, shit, I should at least slap a moisturizer on.

Yoongi never really gave a single fuck about what other people thought, but he was young then and sometimes such thoughts were hard to ignore when it was constant and “part of the industry”.

So, you never took photos of him and he never asked you to. Back then, you didn’t really have an interest in it anyway, especially when there was more time. There was no need for photos when you felt like you had forever. But now you were both older, he was busier, and there was the same amount of time, just more sleep because unfortunately becoming older meant you actually needed it.

Hmph.

And also, admittedly, you both had to grow to appreciate your own bodies. For it was one thing to be praised by another, and something completely different when it came to looking in the mirror. It wasn’t the body, you and him decided.

“It’s whether or not you can look yourself in the eyes,” Yoongi had murmured to you quietly.

“Yeah,” you had agreed, leaning against him.

Neither of you really believed in the boxed-in walls that society liked to put masculinity and femininity in, but it did take a while for both of you to sledgehammer those walls down for yourselves. You had to learn to believe it even though you knew it was true. It had to be done silently and with much self-reflection.

Ah, the joys of growing up in a conservative, collectivist society.

When you finally took a photo of Yoongi, it was already many years down the line and with the addition of another boyfriend, which probably said more than enough about how you and Yoongi felt about the society you grew up in.

Mmm.

“What are you doing?”

“Taking a picture of you.”

Yoongi raised his eyebrows at you as you handed him his phone back. “I haven’t removed my makeup yet.”

“That’s why I thought that you could post it for ARMY later.”

It was on a whim, taking a photo of him. He looked back at the photo of himself in his hand, then at you. Unlike your phone full of photos of his public appearances, Yoongi had no pictures of you. Not even a blurry one. He couldn’t, of course. He could only go to your Instagram and, even then, those photos were more artistic, primarily of your outfits and with your face always partially covered. It was a precaution, of course. The less obvious online presence you had, the better. Internet sleuths were quite resourceful these days.

He placed his phone on his pocket and held out his hand.

“Give me yours for a sec.”

You handed your BTS special edition S20+ to him. “I’m not wearing makeup.”

Yoongi opened up the camera app and lifted his hand. Held your phone slightly above eye level and then those dark brown orbs shifted, looking into yours.

He smiled.

“I know.”

You smiled back and Yoongi took a photo of you.

The next time you saw Jungkook, he had something to show you.

You were in a bit of a distracted mood for several reasons. BTS were preparing for the concert, which meant everyone was busier and more tired from practice. You had your own personal shit going on, being an adult and all. Nothing crazy, but definitely not what was advertised when you were somehow coerced into adulthood. Also, you hadn’t seen Yoongi in a while. Clearly, his studio had kidnapped him. At least you knew who the kidnapper was, and they could have him for as long as Yoongi needed the studio.

Yeah, you were pretty sure that if Yoongi ever got kidnapped, he would somehow finesse the kidnapper into thinking they were the ones trapped with him.

Tongue technology.

Gets ‘em every time.

It should have crossed your mind that Jeon Jungkook would be up to something, considering he was definitely sacrificing rest time to see you, but, then again, Jungkook was a horny man and he didn’t care about rules.

He respected them.

Didn’t care though.

Instead, you nonchalantly let the youngest shower you with affection as you put on your mock grump face (that you may have learned from a certain someone), and then he shoved his phone into your hand, nudging you with his nose as you wiggled about to get a better angle.

“Look at these cute photos of Bamie I took.”

Similar to his owner, Bamie caught off-guard looked like a dork, but a cute, irresistible dork.

“You should get some themed dog clothes for the holidays,” you snickered at the photos of the big snoot, swiping away, ignoring your ribs being sandwiched between Jungkook’s forearms. “Bamie should at least have a Halloween costume.”

Before you could start suggesting every Marvel character introduced in the movies thus far, your amusement came to a full dead stop.

…

You blinked slowly.

This is not allowed.

You usually had a better crafted, snarky thought related to what was and wasn’t allowed, but this? This wasn’t it. This transition from cute Doberman photos to a selca. A normal one, no problem.

This?

This photo was Jungkook in low light. Mirror selca with his right arm raised, his hand running through his hair, lashes lowered to check the camera, shirtless.

Yeah.

Shirtless.

Hence the lack of creativity when it came to your made-up rules for what was not allowed.

You narrowed your eyes. You felt his head shift and suddenly warm breath on your ear. He was hugging you from behind, triumph in his whisper as his lips grazed the curve of your ear.

“Keep swiping.”

Breathed your name in your ear, soft and earnest, making you remember it for years to come.

He was daring you.

Goddamnit.

Unfortunately for you, and probably fortunately for him, you had a competitive streak. Not just a curiosity streak when it came to his photos. You stalking Jungkook’s Twitter tag to begin with was enough of an indication of your curiosity and, ahem, respectful appreciation. And, while you appreciated all topless photos of Jungkook (thank you to that courageous button that freed the goods to the general public), this was a challenge. Jungkook was challenging you to a battle. A ‘keep-swiping-if-you-dare’ and, as he definitely already knew what you would do, you lifted a finger and did just that.

Basically the same selca, but with his head tipped back, lips slightly parted, lids half-lowered.

Casually sensual.

Cocky.

You breathed out slowly, heartbeat racing. Wouldn’t have given anything away if it wasn’t for Jungkook being so close and lightly licking your ear. An uncontrollable shiver slid up your spine. Stubbornly, you flicked your thumb again.

Smirking.

Jungkook was smirking at you in the photo and he was looking at the camera like he fucking knew exactly what the fuck he was doing.

You brat.

“You should take photos of me too, noona.”

He was kissing down your neck, forcing you to tilt your head.

You kept your voice calm, even though inside your inner self was screaming at you to rip his clothes off and punish him, right here, right now.

“Are you…”

Look at that face. Fuck.

“Jealous?”

You turned his phone screen off.

Teeth on your skin. A light, possessive nip. Mhm. The perilla leaf discussion should have prepared you for this side of Jungkook. Yes, the current arrangement was an agreement between Yoongi, you, and Jungkook, and he was not trying to upstage his hyung, but it was pretty clear that the youngest was a little upset at you for this very minor difference.

You raised a hand and pressed his head to your shoulder.

His hand yanked down the side of your shirt to pull the neckline out of his way, and then his lips attacked the exposed skin, sending pleasurable sparks dancing through your veins.

“Are you mad at me, Jungkook?” you murmured.

“I want you to take pictures of me too,” was his stubborn mumble against your skin, squeezing you between his hard forearms again.

You let out a pleased hum, letting it slip into a smokey moan, rolling your ass into his crotch. Hm. Hard already. You rubbed against him, tangling your fingers in his hair as you snickered mischievously.

“You want me to take photos of you with your clothes on or off?”

“Noona!”

“What? You’ve made it clear that don’t want them on around me anyway.”

For horror night, probably in the red, but how would the whole 141/Los Vaqueros react to the movie Tusk? Fair warning if you haven't seen it/seen clips it is SUPER fucked up

I watched the synopsis for this movie and I am begging for no more movies. No more movies are allowed to be made. That's it. Yeah no this is in the red. I'm gonna put it as Yellow because I'm not describing anything, oh my god, please do not look this movie. This is for Horror Night... And I am horrified

Soap: More just irritated because what motivates someone to make that

Ghost: Unfazed, laughed with Price because of how dumb it was

Rodolfo: Is not allowed to watch this movie, does not complain about it.

Alejandro: Somehow experienced all five stages of grief at once and will never be the same

Price: Laughs with Ghost about how dumb it is

Gaz: Also not allowed to watch it, reads the synopsis and decides that's just fine.

Graves: Refuses, calls it gore porn

Valeria: Experiencing the exact same feelings as Alejandro but mixed with the want to murder whoever made it

Farah: "Why would they put him in a zoo? SHOOT THE POOR BASTARD!"

Alex: Throws up. A lot.

Laswell: Also refuses to watch it and takes Roach, Graves, Rodolfo, and Gaz out. Makes fun of them when she gets back because WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?!

Roach: Not allowed to watch it, complains at first, but Laswell showed him the end result and he said "nevermind"

#bunnie's horror night #yellow #don't watch this movie #I say this as an avid fan of the saw series #Johnny Soap Mactavish #Simon Ghost Riley #Rodolfo Parra #Alejandro Vargas #John Price #Kyle Gaz Garrick #Phillip Graves #Valeria Garza #Farah Karim #Alex Keller #Kate Laswell #Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II #Call of Duty #Gary Roach Sanderson

It's late, I'm very tired, but I am going to write you the ask anyway because I need you to know you put a new fic idea into my head and somehow it has grown and now what am I going to do? Do I have time for it? No. But it's been a lot of fun writing a snippet on the train today (as you do) and I hope it will stay for a while and maybe develop?

Basically, it's -

"[The cat] already has a name" the Doctor said suddenly. "She's called Siren." "You've named her?" Yaz exclaimed. "Has she told you?" Graham asked. "Mate, she doesn't actually speak 'cat'; she was having you on, earlier" Ryan stage whispered, before blinking and looking over to the Doctor. "You don't, do you?" "She's wearing a name tag" the Doctor explained and really, now that Yaz was examining the cat's collar, there was a tiny silver square reading 'Siren'. "Oh" she said, wondering why the Doctor hadn't used the name yet. Was it as not to get too attached? It had taken her awfully long to enter the discussion on the name, too.

I'm not quite sure how far this will go but there is actual plot already somewhere. It's a bit - difficult though. Because they're all treating the cat like you would treat a cat. Which is different from how you'd treat a human/timelord/whatever, especially when it comes to boundaries. And they don't know she's not a cat of course, because River is there ~undercover~. To them, basically, 13 has 'adopted a stray'.

Anyway, it is still very fun :) (also 90% of it has turned into a zoo tycoon ad but I am blaming that on companion-showdown) I love writing for the fam! It's difficult to juggle so many people in one scene but I love all of them so much 🥰 (but if I do write this whole piece it will probably end up being doctor/yaz/cat!river centric so that's only 3 characters and one is mainly non-verbal)

(This is about that cat named River Song in that post (yesterday?) and you saying it should be River undercover btw. Not sure whether that's been clear until now.)

Do you think Siren is a good name? Sirens sing and live in bodies of water, so I thought she might choose it as a not-too-obvious undercover name. Plus, River would dig the seductress connotations. (It might also have come to my mind because we've been talking about mermaids but anyway)

Alternatively, I was thinking Cleopatra bc we know River has cosplayed as her and it would be cute to call the cat 'Cleo'. It's a very cat-like name, I think.

Or 'Melody'? More angsty but also more obvious and riskier. And the idea is that the Doctor cannot know either she's there. But it also makes a good name for a cat I think.

(also, yeah, I totally haven't finished the lkh rewrite either, I think I told you earlier. But ohhh shiny new fic concept with thasmin and River and a cat 😍😍😍 anyway I am blaming you <3 (for the idea, not the procrastinating - the procrastinating is 100% on me))

God, I hope this is halfway coherent now. I'm not feeling too coherent 😅

Anyway thank you so much for listening <3 I'm very grateful to hear any thoughts! On the name or general thoughts :) Also questions! As I said, there is some plot. Unfinished, but I can see a main direction (and it looks suspiciously like 20k+ words so... not sure I will follow it ever)

First of all, absolutely love that my bullshit inspired you XD

Second, I love the scene you wrote omgggg! The fact the fam didn't notice the nametag and just went to the more outlandish explanation of "13 speaks cat" 😂

I love the name Siren so much!! Like first, it fits with the "River" (body of water) "Song", but it also reminds me of how when River calls for the Doctor, they are always there for her, almost as though drawn to River.

(Shiny new ideas always so appealing, yuppp, it is a thing I know all too well)

I am so excited to read more of this, and am looking forward to the plot that awaits us!

On the point of juggling so many characters, yes, I find that anything above three characters regularly interacting gets a bit crowded. Perhaps you'll still find a way to have Ryan and Graham there and doing little tasks during the fic, like for instance sending them to get food for Siren XD

I am honoured to have enabled this as your writing sounds a delight!! May the writing gods bless you, may your writing be plentiful and motivating!

I have loved every stage of OR's life so far (with the exception of nights during the months when they woke up every. Single. Hour.)

but yeah, this time, when they are really figuring out how to talk? Ah, I love this!

Yeah, sometimes it's tricky to figure out what they want, and that can be frustrating for us both, but it is also a fun puzzle. And not to brag, but compared to LG, I'm pretty good at this. Might be because I have long practise - OR is now at about the stage that my disabled brother has been most of his life.

Anyway. Last week, for the first time, they told us about things that happened at daycare, instead of just talking about things that are happening right now.

("[teacher] excavator gone" probably meant the excavator at the nearby construction site was gone, or [teacher] made them go inside and they couldn't watch any more

"[other child] stomachache" turned out not to be about another child, but about the Very Hungry Caterpillar, which they've been reading.)

And it seems to go the other way, too. We went to the zoo during the weekend, and now they are demanding photos to bring to daycare. (Each child has a binder for the teachers to document their development, but also for parents to send pages about interesting things that happen outside of daycare, so I'm going to print some photos tomorrow and make a page for that binder.)

They're also pretending to be animals a lot. At first it was a dog, now it is "other dog" (the original dog was gentle and cuddly, the "other dog" is loud and wild. Sometimes an owl (by pulling a blanket over their head - maybe because owls are awake in the dark?). And since the zoo visit, a monkey. Which needs to be petted and scratched just like a dog, in case you were wondering.

#(not so) obscure reference

18, 13, 15, your favourite niche Percy ship

i get to pick 🥺

think you so much for asking kahfkjd

ok ok I'm gonna go with Percy/Draco because I do love them even though I don't talk about them much because i feel like I'm one of like 3 people who like them pff

18.What does a date night out look like for them?

i feel like they would go into muggle London for things like that as weird as that might sound for Draco at first glance. I tend to think of them as getting together after the war and part of falling for each other being the way they feel about the war and their places in it (as well as strained relations with their families)

in Percy's case feeling like he hadn't done enough and struggling with the guilt of Fred's death while still questioning if he even has a place in his family(and if he even wants it but that depends entirely on the rest of his families actions and doesn't tend to come into play until much latter)

and in Draco's case he feels undeserving of being pardoned. it's a feeling of realization that he's always been on the wrong side in actuality. That his family that he knows loves him had in the end put him in an unwinnable situation and also maybe having to deal with losing everything all that leading to extremely complicated feelings about his father mostly.

uh got off topic but point is I think Draco gets hexed alot in public and Percy likes to avoid running into people he knows so muggle world it is

i feel like Draco likes aquariums because it's a pretty calm place for a date. It reminds him of the Slytherin dorm enough to be comforting but different enough to not be suffocating. I do feel like Percy would enjoy them as well but not to the same extent. I do feel like at some point they try to go to a regular zoo and hate it though. it's too hot, the space is too open, and it's loud so they go right back to their favorite aquarium the next time.

i do feel like they probably have a lot of coffee/tea dates early on before really getting together as well

so yeah typically i think it goes

-they go to a coffee shop and sit and drink together

-they go to an aquarium or a museum of some kind

-maybe the movies I think they would have fun with that if they did though I think it would be like a 1pm showing where there are like 2 other people in the theater

13.What’s their opinions on PDA?

OK so I'm a firm believer in the Percy doesn't do a lot of PDA head canon in general and Draco I tend to switch back and forth with one one hand he's a damn attention whore but on the other hand like pureblood culture with what little we know I can't see PDA being seen as like socialy acceptable? if that makes sense idk like maybe a hand on an arm/back would be fine but like true heavy PDA would probably be viewed as inappropriate.

add in that I tend to only think about them in the context of late stage or post-war I don't think they would do much PDA

that's not to say I don't think they would be affectionate in private though because i like the idea of Draco on Percy's lap like some weird cat it just always comes back to me thank you

15.Do they go on vacations together? Where is their favorite place to visit?

i think they would go to France.

I love the head canon that Percy can speak French and I know it's a popular one for Draco as well. I also like the hc of Narcissa moving to France after the war when Lucius gets locked up and the hc of Pansy running off to France as well.

so point is I think they go to visit when they do go and would also occasionally kidnap Fleur and take her with them as well or maybe she's dragging them either way.

but i feel like other then visiting friends/family and getting dragged where they want to drag them. A lot of it would be going to similar places they already go to aquariums, museums with the rare different thing thrown into it if it seems interesting and they're up for it that day

#percy weasley #draco malfoy #draco/percy #counts as niche right i mean there's less then 50 works in the otp:true tag for them #i love that the responses got shorter and shorter pff #i could of gone real fucking niche and used Stan Shunpike(sitting pretty with 1 fic) but as of right now all my thoughts for them #are just a vague well that could be interesting also that him getting put in Azkaban would be painful

The Stars May Rise and Fall: The Annotated Re-read (Chapter 30)

Just FYI, we’re officially into the stage of this book where just about everything makes me cry. (I know, I know, I wrote the thing, I could’ve changed it! But angst just hurts soooo good!)

As always, spoilers (including spoilers for chapters beyond this one) under the cut!

They take a taxi to Shinjuku to get on the train, and Rei is visibly uncomfortable riding in a car… but there’s not really much alternative at this point, as they both recognize. I don’t think he remembers the moment of the accident, or any moments of consciousness he would’ve had immediately afterwards. The brain tends to block things like that out, but I do think he probably has a fuzzy or even unconscious memory of that moment just before, when you know it’s about to happen but it’s too late to do anything to stop it.

I would love art of Rei’s super extravagant coat in this scene, by the way… yet another one to add to the list!

The taxi driver in Hakone is sort of the opposite of the asshole doctor when it comes to microaggressions. He sees immediately that Rei has a disability and asks for his government ID, which can actually get you a lot of discounts and things like free entry into public facilities like zoos and museums, but I think Rei’s usually too proud to actively ask for those benefits very much. Up to this point, I don’t think Teru even realizes that he HAS one of those ID cards. But the taxi driver is a nice guy who wants to give them the discount, and does. BUT… then he goes and makes some well-meaning but ignorant comment about Teru and Rei spending Christmas with their girlfriends. Of course, this isn’t malicious but it’s still kind of awkward and hurtful.

They get to the hotel, and poor Rei I think is just feeling incredibly guilty, that Teru has done this kind, amazing thing for him when all he (thinks he) has done is make Teru’s life more difficult. GAH, I wish he’d just TALK to Teru because Teru doesn’t feel that way at all.

Teru also feels a little guilty for choosing a traditional Japanese room, since there’s not a lot of furniture and it’s hard for Rei to sit on the floor (and always has been (at least since Teru has known him), as established in an izakaya several chapters ago; this wasn’t directly caused by the more recent injury, so yeah, Teru COULDVE thought of that, but he’s still probably being too hard on himself. He did come up with a really thoughtful plan overall.)

I DO have art of my boys in hotel yukatas! Would REALLY love some art of the bath scene too, but I’m getting a little ahead of myself.

So this hotel (really a ryokan, sorry, I’ve been calling it a hotel because that’s English, but it’s like a traditional Japanese style inn) has meals served in the room, which is super fancy (I think I’ve only been to places that did this twice… both in Hakone, and both as romantic weekend type things), and also super nice if you’re boyfriend’s self-conscious about eating in front of people. The server is also kind to Rei, bringing him a stool because he clearly can’t sit comfortably on the floor, and like with the taxi driver, he’s appreciative and polite. I think there are a couple of reasons behind this sort of shift in attitude. First, I think people in this rural resort town are just being a little more friendly than most people in Tokyo are, but more importantly than that, I think Rei has kind of realized that he does need to change, he does need to learn how to accept help gracefully… and he also just wants to make this trip wonderful for Teru, and he knows that means minimal drama. ❤️

Then they take a private bath in the hot spring. I have nothing really to add here, except that this is way up toward the top of my “I Want Art” list, and every single time I go to a hot spring I think of this scene. ❤️❤️❤️

And then we have the not-sex scene. By which I mean they totally have sex but it’s fade to black. Some readers liked this, some didn’t, but I ultimately think it’s better than the alternative: a sex scene written by me! 😂

I did go back and forth on whether to try to write it. The ultimate reason I didn’t was because I wanted it to be perfect for every reader. And I realize that “fade to black” in itself is not “perfect” for some readers, but I also didn’t want to ruin the whole book by having the sex scene not be right. So if you imagine it wild and kinky, it was. If you imagine it sweet and simple, then THAT’S how it was. If you’d rather not imagine it at all, that’s also completely fine.

Personally, I think it was very sweet, very careful, very full of love and consent… it’s Teru’s first time with a guy, and Rei’s first time since the accident, so I do think they take things very slow, and probably don’t get to full-on anal penetration or anything… mouths and hands? But that’s me. You’re free to imagine it (or not) however you want.

I also think it doesn’t really matter HOW it happened, just THAT it happened. I read a lot of romance novels during the editing of this (I actually hadn’t read ANY before I wrote the first draft… again, I apologize deeply to romance readers, this was never supposed to be a category romance novel!) and there definitely ARE books out there where HOW the characters have sex drives the plot or develops the relationship. And there are others where it’s not really intended to: it’s there for fun, for titillation. In this case, I think the fact THAT they have sex is the plot/character development point. We’ve seen them be caring and careful with each other up to now, and I didn’t think that showing that specifically in the bedroom would change anything. As for titillation… I honestly don’t like sex scenes that exist only for titillation as a reader, so I don’t think I’m the writer to understand what those readers want and to give it to them.

The couple of sex scenes I’ve attempted to write to date (mostly for fanfic exchanges or challenges where the prompt I got was more adult) have also been… not good. When I was a kid, if I happened to draw a picture that I really liked in black and white, I never wanted to color it because I might ruin it. I think attempting to write the sex scene here would’ve felt like trying to color something that already worked in just pencil?

I do want to sort of address one comment made by a reviewer that Rei deserved to be sexy and sexual on the page, deserved to be SHOWN being loved physically as well as emotionally and… I agree. That’s a very good point. Unfortunately… I just really don’t think my writing skills in this particular area are up to the task. It would really have to be perfect, and beautiful… and I’m not sure I could’ve done that.

And then we have the last scene, after the fade to black, where Teru decides that he’s not going to take the deal… he’s going to prioritize being with Rei. Which is exactly what Rei DOESNT want him to do. 😭

Splitting up my screencaps post for the Creation of the Gods variety series. Here's episodes 4 and 5. (Episode 4) (Episode 5)

Episode 4

More clumsy audio editing...while they were riding in the fields I heard two audio tracks with different music

They're riding in Inner Mongolia :o

His scarf lol

I kept seeing Zhang Xuehan in the training camp but I didn't remember her playing a character in the movie. MDL says she's in the first movie as Qiong Han but I'm wondering if she actually appears in later movies. Wuershan only mentioned that Xuehan had trained with Naxi though.

Ci Sha likes singing :3

They ate with the local villagers

Yu Shi riding the tractor coolly: I have to be the hottest person on the farm

Next scene: *Yu Shi chasing pig and failing to get a selfie*

Sandstorm on the plains :o

Naran was like "aw, wish I got to learn to ride horses with y'all :<"

Archery lessons!!

Parkour with bows >)

Oh no, Yu Shi's horse stopped at the last second ^^;; Guess they got scared

And then they began training for the sword dance

Third evaluations

Naran dance performance

That's kinda badass

Yeah their drum performances are pretty cool

Naxi and Xuehan played the drums while the guys did the archery and sword performance.

Lol Liu Tianchiw as loving the violence during the performance XD

Oh this is cool, they've prepared choreographed fights in different formations with different weapons

Hou Wenyuan felt he was most suited for Yang Jian :o

So apparently in the original script, the dance at the feast was different. After Wuershan watched the guys' performance, he changed that dance to the sword + shield dance.

Liu Han was getting emotional during his thank you speech to the teachers and the guys were like "CRY!!!!!!" XD Meanwhile in the studio Yu Shi was like "aw cute :3"

Omg more shoddy audio, during the speaking segment afterwards the audio of those on set was completely cut out...we just heard the music v.v

Acting performances are the final hurdle :o

Nooooo overlapping music audios again ToT I've brought this up several times but it's because it's very distracting.

Wuershan said that during camp, the trainees didn't know the script nor the characters. That being said I think I saw at least one trainee wear a 封神 T-shirt so I think they maybe had some idea but not the specifics.

Now that they have their assigned roles, they're finally getting into analyzing their specific characters.

Bro his long hair T_T I wonder if he was keeping it long for the movie or if it just happened like that. Chen Muchi's hair was growing long too so maybe it's the former.

Are we going to get any commentary on the creation of Chen Muchi's stage name

Jing Niansong marking Yu Shi's quiz on Chen Muchi like it's an actual test XD

Yin Jiao and Ji Fa bonding time by playing hide and seek.

Chen Muchi looking for Yu Shi with a SWORD X'D

Chen Muchi disturbing Hou-ge bouncing his yoga ball during hide and seek XD

Chen Muchi succeeded in the end, finding Yu Shi in 2min30s

In the third portion of the training camp, all the candidates considered for Ji Fa were in one team, and all the candidates considered for Yin Jiao were in the other team. So Yu Shi and Chen Muchi wouldn't have bumped into each other too much during that time.

Chen Muchi learning guqin and struggling ^^;; I mean yeah, he's a jock

Zhou Mi laughing at how Chen Muchi plays the guqin XD He was like "why do you touch it like you're being electrocuted" ^^;; From his scene before with the guqin teacher, I think Chen Muchi isn't used to plucking something as delicate as a string.

Naran learned guqin too :3

And also all sorts of dance. She said she trained for 2 years for not even 2 minutes of dance on screen. But that's showbiz isn't it.

Naran talked about how she studied foxes, went to the zoo to take videos, watched videos of them all the time. There are a couple of clips of her practising waking up as Daji and we see how different her mannerisms have become in the later videos.

And then training fox characteristics even more with Sang Lin

Oh this is super cool, now Sang Lin is 'attacking' her with a sword and she has to defend herself as a fox.

Interesting detail, Sang Lin said that most animals will swat inwards, not outwards.

Afterwards we see her practising a scene with Chen Muchi where Yin Jiao is trying to kill Daji.

Hou Wenyuan as Yang Jian lol. I don't know if it's confirmation bias but it just doesn't feel right lol. Hou Wenyuan as the asshole Chong Yingbiao works because Hou Wenyuan is a big personality. Ci Sha as Yang Jian works because we know he's 斯文 and a little formal. Hou Wenyuan admitted that this was not it so afterwards he was cast as Chong Yingbiao lmao.

Huang Xiyan started practising spear since he heard that the Erlang Shen character hadn't been cast yet.

Ci Sha had trained to be a hostage son for 6 months and then he was cast as Yang Jian, so he had to retrain all over again, practising spear with long robes.

LMAO Ci Sha singing while dragging Nezha around

Omg but Wu Yafan climbing all over Ci Sha was cute X3

Wu Yafan kept getting the giggles while practising lines with Zhou Mi (who was playing Jiang Ziya). Yafan kept accidentally calling Zhou Mi 師父 instead of 師叔 and every time Zhou Mi would be like "誰是你師父啊?!"

Oh shit, we found out about Huang Xiyan's personal history with his own father, and how that translated into his character's feelings about his father. Did not fucking help that we had two pieces of music overlapping during this moving scene and I couldn't fully concentrate on Huang Xiyan telling his story.

Afterwards, Li Yunrui was like "bro are you crying? why aren't you crying yet?"

Wuershan said that everyone who attended the training camp would be assigned a role. So for those who didn't get major or supporting roles, if they were willing to stay, Wuershan would assign them smaller roles.

Voting for this episode's title was fairly even because frankly everyone worked very hard for this movie.

Episode 5

Cute :3

I'm not sure exactly what kind of martial arts they're practising. Is it kickboxing or MMA? Anyway it's more hand-to-hand combat.

After checking their fundamentals the coach was like "yeah we're starting from zero with these ones"

The guys getting hyped for Chen Muchi vs. Ci Sha. I think Wu Yafan said that Ci Sha had practised this kind of MMA before. Anyway they were kind of laughing that they each never defended, they only ever attacked.

They went by the beach today to fight and do obstacles in the sand. Real 男子漢 stuff.

Strategy for gaining possession of the tire: Hug your bro, even if he's on the other team

Hou-ge's Strategy #1: Push Ci Sha, realize he's on your team, push someone else

Nana hides her face in the fox plush when she's laughing really hard :3

Hou-ge's Strategy #2: Take Yu Shi's pants off

Naxi and Nana CRYING laughing at Hou Wenyuan's shenanigans X'D

And then Hou-ge having a relaxing time on the beach lol. Just anything this guy does is hilarious tbh.

Hou Wenyuan and Yu Shi having a tussle (fake) in the water

Crawling with your bro on your back

LMAO there are not one, but TWO wedding photoshoots going on in the background

More hardcore military obstacle training in the sand

There are a lot of big mansions in the background

I wonder if Li Yunrui used to play soccer.

Bro Li Yunrui ALWAYS leans into Huang Xiyan when he laughs

BEACH BOYS PHOTOSHOOT

Riding horsies in the water! :3

"Recognize the man by his torso" game

Lol talent show night

I'm starting to wonder if the layered music is to prevent strikes from copyrighted music???? It's so distracting though, I'd rather they just mute it tbh.

Naran's birthday! :3

And then Wu Yafan's birthday :3

They said they are family ;_;

(Having to delete screencaps at this point because too many pictures in the post ToT)

Naxi recorded a lot of Naran's fox videos and also when Naran was still figuring out how to act like a fox, Naxi try acting as a fox with her so she wouldn't feel so awkward :3

Whenever Li Yunrui learns something new, he'll show Huang Xiyan...and Huang Xiyan will low key not pay attention lol

https://www.tiktok.com/@vk.huckleberries/video/7128132470582545669

Fictober22 - 5. No, anything but that.

Fandom: 911

Ship: Buck x Eddie

Words: 600

Ao3

Note: Idek what this is, it's not my fave, I think I'm already running out of ideas but I wanna do as many of these fictober prompts as I can manage haha I feel like something more angsty could've fit this prompt better but I'm in fluff mood lately haha

***

“We’re home!” Buck calls from the hallway as soon as he and Christopher enter the house. As they’re in the process of taking their shoes and jackets off, Eddie comes out of the kitchen to greet them.

“Hey guys, how was the zoo?” he asks, ruffling Chris’ hair, then giving Buck a quick kiss on the cheek.

“It was so fun. I’ll show you pictures.” Chris answers with a huge grin.

“After dinner, okay? You guys hungry?” Eddie looks between them, and sees them exchanging a worried glance. Oh, come on, he wasn’t that bad of a cook.

“Depends. Are we ordering in, or…?” Bucky asks tentatively.

“I cooked.” Eddie says with a raised eyebrow.

“What did you cook?” Chris questions.

“Abuela’s famous enchiladas.” he sighs, already knowing where it’s going. His boys love to make fun of him for ruining even the simplest meals. But to be fair, the few times Eddie tried to make this particular dish before, he completely screwed it up and it tasted awful. But this is now. He’s learned.

“Oh no. Dad, please, anything but that.” his son says overdramatically, looking back at Buck for help.

“You both like them!” Eddie argues.

“Yeah, when abuela makes them.” is Chris’ response.

“Abuela’s recipes are not your strong suit, babe.” Buck adds delicately.

“You know I can cook now, right?” Eddie asks with amusement. He didn’t spend so much time learning recipes and tips from Linda and abuela for his boys to underestimate him now. He still enjoys their exaggerated criticism, though, it’s always funny.

“Do you, though?” Christopher asks doubtfully, and Eddie can’t help but scoff, though it comes out with a small chuckle. Yeah, Buck cooks more often, but he’s been cooking more lately, too, with no complaints so far. Or, with less complaints than before. Though, to be fair, he usually sticks to simpler things.

“Okay, let’s at least try it.” Buck rolls his eyes, a fond smile on his face as he looks at Eddie. “If it’s not edible again, we’ll order pizza.” he stage-whispers to Chris, who beams at him.

“You guys suck.” Eddie shakes his head and laughs, turning away to go back into the kitchen, adding just: “Wash your hands and come eat.”

When they sit down, and their plates are full, Christopher observes Buck to see his reaction to the food before risking it. Which, Eddie can admit, is very fair considering his previous attempts at cooking. Buck takes a bite and his expression melts.

“Oh my God.” he says with his mouth full.

“It’s good?” Chris sounds surprised.

“It’s not abuela’s, but still pretty amazing.” Buck smiles, his eyes meeting Eddie’s over the table. Eddie is overjoyed he likes it. He loves finally being able to feed his boys home cooked meals. “You did good, babe. Sorry we doubted you.”

“See? I’m a good cook.” Eddie says proudly.

“Eh. I’d say decent.” Christopher says reluctantly, after taking a bite.

“I’ll take it.” Eddie can’t help but chuckle. As they dig in, Chris and Buck start telling him all about their trip to the zoo, and Eddie listens intently, soaking in every word. This is his favorite way to spend evenings lately, just their little family eating dinner together, talking about their days – he even enjoys them making fun of him for his cooking, because, first of all, he can prove them wrong, and it’s just funny. He loves his family so much, and he loves being able to show it to them even by simply cooking them a good meal (which he finally learned how to do).

(aliassmith left a comment on Strap Your Hands 'Cross My Engines "just saying if you ever want to write that lucius/izzy conversation or have flint be a bonding point for eddy + lucius i would love to see it 👀")

It was a quiet Friday afternoon, hours before showtime. There was a customer or two at the bar, getting an early start on the weekend, but for the most part it was quiet. Lucius was reading behind the bar.

Eddy was on the stage, working on their laptop with their knee elevated on a tasseled pillow. Music played softly through the building. The front door opened and Anne slipped inside.

“Hey,” she took a seat at the bar.

“Heya,” Lucius didn’t look up from his book.

“Read in yet?”

“Nope. All good little detectives are taking their annual CPR training.”

“What, really?” She laughed.

“Yeah, really. Iz gets real hot under the collar for first aid, it’s a whole thing,” he glanced up. “He’s dropping her and Jim off soonish if you want to sit tight.”

“Yeah, can I just get a diet coke or something? Oh, and a whiskey, neat.”

“Since when do you drink whiskey?” He gave her a look.

“Not for me,” she shrugged. “Flint drove me. He won a big case this week, I told him we should have a drink to celebrate.”

“But you’re not drinking,” he double-checked.

“Nope. I think he needs something to chill him out or his brain is going to catch on fire.”

“Got it. One chill-out whiskey, one aspartame special.”

Lucius had not yet met Flint, so he was surprised that the man who came through the door looked ordinary enough. He was tall and broad-shouldered, trim at the waist. Good looking, if you liked them older and Lucius very much did. The kind of guy Lucius would enjoy flirting with over the bar on a quiet Friday afternoon ordinarily.

Then he sat at the bar and his eyes landed on Lucius’ face. Ah.

“Whiskey neat,” Lucius set the glass down in front of him. “On Bonny’s tab.”

“You have a tab?” Flint asked. His voice had a burr in it, deep dark and pulled over coals.

“Not that I’ve paid yet.” Anne said lightly, taking her diet coke. “Thanks, Luc.”

“It’s being kept,” Lucius pointed at her. “Diet cokes just don’t add up to much, but I will come for your neck if you leave it unpaid too long. Or Stede will. I don't actually care.”

“You’re Lucius,” Flint seemed to take him entirely and then dismiss him. Ouch. Instead his attention landed on Anne, “I’ve stepped inside, does that fulfill your requirement?”

“The drink isn’t decorative,” she said, unbothered. “Celebrations are celebratory usually, just saying.”

“Luc!” Eddy called from the stage and Lucius darted away with relief. He walked up to the stage, leaning on the edge.

“What?” he asked, resisting the urge to look over his shoulder.

“What the fuck is he doing here?” Eddy hissed at him.

“Anne invited him, go rattle your snake tail at her,” Lucius hissed back.

“I hate that man,” she subsided a little. “Look at him. Like he’s got a fucking steel stake up his ass.”

Lucius did not look at him. He was absolutely not going to turn around.

“How did you even meet him?”

“Hornigold,” Eddy slumped back down entirely. “Tried to scout him, but Flint was already on his own path. But he liked a retainer, didn’t mind taking good money to tidy things up. He wasn’t content with crime though, he wanted to rule the whole city.”

“Does he? Because goddamn,” Lucius shook his head. “No wonder Izzy thinks you were jealous about him.”

“He told you that?” Eddy said with some surprise.

“Yeah? He tells me everything for the most part.”

“Why would I be jealous? We were over by the time Flint showed up. That’s ridiculous,” she announced like that made it true. Eddy did that a lot. It even worked most of the time. Too bad for them that Lucius knew better.

“Because you weren’t actually over and even if you were, you like being the biggest meanest predator in the zoo,” Lucius pulled himself up onto the stage to sit beside her. “And usually you get to be. But uh...”

“I could take him in a fight,” they said through gritted teeth.

“Could you?” Lucius wondered.

“Probably,” they conceded. “It would depend on the kind of fight.”

“If the fight is getting someone to drop to their knees without raising a finger, I’ve got some bad news for you,” Lucius barked a laugh.

“Can’t you do that?”

“Oh yeah, now,” Lucius waved that away. “It took a little practice, but I still only get away with it because that’s our thing. I’m very aware of my limitations as a commanding presence.”

“I really don’t want to know, but I was....curious,” Eddy allowed. “How it works.”

“I think he just wants someone that gets what he needs,” Lucius considered, picking through what he was willing to share and what was definitely private. He wasn’t always good at that line, but he tried harder for Izzy’s sake, who held his privacy so close to vest, it was basically under his skin. “Who takes some of the pressure off from having to be in control all the time. As long as it’s clear I have a plan that I’m certain of, that’s enough really.”

“So all the....dunno. Leather mommy stuff you tease me about?”

“Oh, I’m sure he liked that too,” he gave her a pat on the knee. “I know he did. But hey, we evolve, change, right? Stede isn’t Izzy. I’m not you.”

“We tried it once and we both wound up laughing hysterically,” Eddy admitted, a twitch of a grin on her face. “It’s truly impossible to put someone in their place, who thinks their place is everywhere.”

“Yeah, I can only imagine. Which I will not be doing, because ew, no offense.”

“How can I take that without offense?” they asked with an eye roll.

The door opened again and Jim sauntered in, took in the space and headed for the basement, probably for their pre-show twenty-minute power nap. Read came in after, spotted her girlfriend and her face lit up as she jogged across the space and draped herself over Anne’s back, kissing her neck and fussing over her.

“Young love,” Eddy sighed.

“You did that to Stede yesterday. You’d do it to him right now if he showed up,” Lucius said incredulously.

“You’re only as young as you feel,” Eddy agreed.

And then Izzy arrived. He surveyed the space, just like Jim, eyes landing on Lucius almost immediately. Then he saw Flint and...just for a half-second...hesitated. Then surged forward towards Lucius.

“Oh, I hate him,” Lucius decided.

“I fucking told you,” Eddy snorted.

“Told him what?” Izzy stood before Lucius. “Hi, pup.”

“Hi, goblin,” Lucius leaned down and brushed a kiss over his cheek. “How was necromancy class?”

“It doesn’t actually work if they’re already dead,” Izzy laughed quietly. “But it was fine. They tried to recruit Jim to be an EMT. Read almost cried when they explained you sometimes break ribs doing chest compressions. The usual.”

“You staying for a bit?” Lucius asked.

“No where else to be.”

“Come on then, I’ll make you a drink.”

Izzy took his usual seat at the very end of the bar. It was several seats down to where Flint had settled, apparently making good on whatever promise he’d made with Anne by sipping his whiskey.

“But then why wasn’t it a mistrial?” Anne was asking. She had her phone out, clearly taking notes.

“Because the law is not immutable.” He held his glass up, apparently watching the way the light caught the amber liquid. “People are the weak links in the chain.”

Lucius made Izzy a vodka tonic, set it in front of him then leaned in, “Is he for fucking real?”

“Yeah, he’s always talked like that,” Izzy glanced at Flint. “Law school just does that to some people, apparently. He once talked my ear of about Odysseus for some reason, had no idea what he meant until you read me that translation last year.”

“That was a good translation,” Lucius muttered.

“It was,” and why did Izzy sound so pleased with himself?

“What?” Lucius demanded.

“You made me a vodka tonic,” he leaned back and took a sip.

“Yeah, cause you like them,” Lucius frowned. “Why?”

“Pup, you haven’t given me a drink I actually would choose for myself...possibly ever?”

“Oh. Well,” Lucius blinked. “Surprise?”

“He turned me down once.”

“What?” Now he had every bit of Lucius’ attention.

“Didn’t know what I was offering, actually, but I suppose he did,” he shrugged. “Just said no.”

“Oh. So he’s an idiot. Everything makes a lot more sense now,” Lucius decided.

Someone behind him coughed a laugh and when he turned, Flint had set down his glass. He was looking right at Lucius which just ten minutes before would’ve been intimidating, but now was just annoying.

“I didn’t see it before, but this,” Flint gestured between him and Izzy. “makes a lot more sense now. I appreciate the clarification. And the drink. But if I don’t get back to the office, John will attempt a coup. Again.”

“The last time was when Flint went to Starbucks and didn’t ask anyone else if they wanted anything,” Anne chimed in. “Silver put a flag on Flint's desk and declared it sovereign nation.”

“Without a plan to maintain infrastructure," Flint tsked. "I argued with him until I could shut the door in his face."

"And you still didn't get him a mocha," Anne said like she was proud of that.

"Can't encourage him. Good night, Anne.” He glanced to the stage where Eddy was still head down at her laptop. “Nice place you have here, Eddy.”

“Fuck off!” They called from the stage.

“And to you,” he tilted his head in her direction and than swanned off. The oxygen returned to the room.

“Fuck,” Read said softly, who had been so still that Lucius had sort of forgotten she was there. Impressive considering she could bench press him. “Babe, your boss is the worst.”

“Your boss swore at him,” Anne pointed out. “Mine was polite.”

“No, I think Read wins this one,” Lucius declared.

“Just because you don’t know how to whisper,” Anne muttered, but she was definitely trying not to laugh.

Lucius decided to be the bigger man and let it go.

“For that, you get to help put out the drink menus and napkins. Start paying down your diet coke habit.”

Well, maybe not let it all the way go. He had limits.

“Sure thing,” Anne got to her feet and started helping Read with the evening setup. Eddy had disappeared, probably to start getting ready or to find Stede or both.

“You know,” Izzy told him when Lucius turned back to him. “I was once almost murdered by my employees. And now I don’t even rank in the worst boss conversation.”

“Look at you,” Lucius laughed. “Good or bad thing?”

“Good that they didn’t ask Jim,” he decided and finished his drink in relative peace as Lucius went off to deal with the hundred and one things that he did to keep this place afloat. And maybe to ask Leda if she wanted to take another go at Microsoft Paint, just this once.

53. Whack-O Golf

The title screen pops up: wacky carnival music starts playing. The letters in "Whack- O Golf" bounce around like basketballs before landing in place, some of them still giggling and squirming.

"Wait, is this going to be mini golf? The only form of golf that really matters?"

Klickitat_Street: Apparently the people who brought you Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise made a golf game?

Stage 1 begins, and yes, this is a miniature golf game-- except it's the size of a real golf game. There's a giant green shaped like the state of California, and it's filled with obstacles-- you have to make your way from San Diego to the hole, which is in the Transamerica Building!

snug_buggler: super golf world Baconnaise: Well this is a stately game

"All right I think that if I can clear the Golden Gate I can do this in only a few shots, have some birdies to spare, then I can pick up the spare at the bottom of the ninth! SPORTS WORDS!"

There is no player character, just a disembodied golf club. Like all NES-era golf games (and most since), it's mostly a matter of stopping a meter when the pointer is in the green zone.

"...Huh. Anyone seen a you-know-what yet?" she scans the background. "Maybe it's just the club this time."

GlockRoach: You're just the floating, possessed club of arnold palmer..wait he's not dead my bad Baconnaise: He didn't die, he has Ascended to being a drink

With her first thwack, she does in fact clear the Golden Gate... until a chimpanzee grabs the ball out of midair, screams, "NOOO!" and hurls it to the ground in a dead stop.

DueyDecimal: Well! That was... a thing. slug_juggler: i'm glad they got the san diego zoo in the game somehow

Bea just looks into the camera. When she's finally done laughing... "I don't know, I mean, what can I even say about that"

aroseahorseboy: someone really liked rise of the planet of the apes? or else they were really hard up for something iconic that happened at the GG bridge

"I'm sure there's some deep meaning behind it but.." Next time she doesn't shoot near the bridge, and at a higher angle.

This time the ball sails past the bridge and enters a grove of giant sequoias, which light up and rattle and buzz like pinball bumpers before spitting her ball out to the south, into Sacramento-- which is patrolled by a big robotic Arnold Schwarzenegger, stomping and breathing fire.

"I can't make the Arnold noise.. AUGH! OOOGH! Forget it. Anyway WHATS HE DOING HERE? And why am I even shocked anymore?"

The game is from a first person view when you putt and move, and follows your ball across the pixelated landscape. A mini map keeps track of where you are and where you want to get to, but right now Bea's afraid to approach the ball, waiting until the Governator has passed before she tries another swing.

HNV: You know, I thought this game was older than this? aroseahorseboy: it probably is, but who would recognize Jerry Brown? HNV: Maybe if they paired him with a giant robot Linda Ronstadt. Syrupentine: who? HNV: Apparently I'm old. Never mind.

When the Governator stomps past and Bea lets her ball fly, it rolls up and down the wires of the Golden Gate (this seems to be a pre-animated cinema sequence) and is deposited on the green near the TransAmerica building!

aroseahorseboy: one two three FOUR FIVE six seven eight NINE TEN eleven twelve, doo doododoodododo

"I'm so good at sporks! Y'know I don't think whoever made this has ever been to California.. which is odd because this is exactly what it's like"

DueyDecimal: For those of you who don't know, Bea is from California! anthony1998x: yeah everyone, a/s/l

"Representin! Hell yeah! We have no water!" She does a fist pump. "Ok but.. Mr. Spanunko? Hello? Here boy! Not that I'm eager for one to show up"

One putt later, the buildings all dance... or maybe it's an earthquake. Course complete, and only one over par!

The next course has no 'green' at all, but it seems to be represented by frost crystals-- it takes place inside a refrigerator. Condiments and leftovers form the obstacles, and the hole is the eye in a ribeye steak!

GlockRoach: Steak your claim.

"I hate you most" Bea responds as she struggles in a ketchup trap! "Is this miniature golf because we're shrinking?"

HNV: Somehow I doubt you're going to find a Spanunko in here... aroseahorseboy: you went from bigger than California to smaller than a hamburger hope you're happy, all you jerks who tell her to lose weight

Boop. Boop. She takes small swings because there are a lot of stuff to avoid, some of which looks past its prime. "Weird-ass mini golf, and friendly reminder that refrigeration only delays, not prevents, food death.. So go eat everything in yours right now"

A complicated maze of crumpled cling-wrap gives way to a large piece of Swiss cheese sitting on a plate uncovered.

HNV: Clearly they were referring to Tom & Jerry cartoons rather than their own refrigerators when they made this. Klickitat_Street: Well, there'd be no challenge in a golf course made up of old six-pack rings and a box of baking soda.

When Bea putts the ball into the cheese, it rolls all around, in and out of the holes... and suddenly out comes a swarm of the tapeworms!

"It's probably good baking soda... all right let me sink this and then we canAAAAAAGH" she starts reflexively swinging the club at the worms! "I do not like them in my cheese, I do not like them on my knees!"

Llord_Kuruku: there's your spanunko, this is one of their fridges!

"That's not a place I want to be!" She keeps swinging just trying to get the ball out of there!

Luck is on Bea's side. Her next swing sends the ball into a hole in the cheese, and out another hole, straight into the steak. Birdie!

"Swing wildly like your life depends on it because it might. That's how you play golf!"

Course 3 is egregiously unfair-- it's a bathtub, in which the ball must be hit from bath toy to bath toy in order to be sunk into the overflow drain.

Klickitat_Street: Pants off, everyone!

This goes on.. and on.. and ON until the audience can hear Bea's teeth grinding. "Go in the hole. No. Wrong. In the hole. No, not in the water, in.." Oh dear, she's starting to turn red as the ketchup from last stage!

HNV: Hey, um, Bea. Maybe... we could pick a new game now. IF YOU'RE OK WITH THAT.

"NO I AIN'T OKAY WITH THAT! I'm super okay with it"
