#Angry Molesting Tree

[jals-stuff]

hello :) saw ur headcanons! mind doing one w deli and the sl*tty jester pleaseeee?

good day anon~ I see that everyone is barking for Domina and Famin so I'll do just that.

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR MASHLE! If you do not know Domina, Famin, Delisaster and Meliadoul, please do not read!

Unless you don't care about spoilers. Then you're free to read~

How would these Mashle characters react if they found their s/o stuck in the washing machine? + personal ratings (again)

For Meliadoul, Domina, Famin and Delisaster.

Warnings: embarrassing? there's an f-bomb somewhere in here

short washing machine headcanons (part 2!)

MELIADOUL…

She’s probably training Ochoa to do stupid things she saw on the internet when you call for her. (Thank you for saving the little guy.)

She’s going to laugh out loud when she sees you stuck head first inside the washing machine! Of course she will. “Please c’mon, please say Stepsis, I’m stuck!” but you won’t, because she’s laughing too hard for you to even understand what she just said.

When she’s finally calm again, she will try to get you out, struggling quite a lot and muttering insults towards the poor washing machine’s family tree, then finally give up and cut through it with her Magical Chainsaw. 

You’ll get very scared, of course, and the chainsaw will absolutely cut through you, but you’ll feel extra relaxed afterwards. She will occasionally tease you about this episode, mostly if you’re cuddling with her.

Made fun + cut you with her Chainsaw, but now you feel nice. You aren’t even mad, 8/10.

DOMINA…

Domina is attempting to make some apple pie when his focus is broken by a muffled scream coming from the laundry room. He sighs and immediately makes his way there.

With anyone else, he would get super angry, but it’s you, and he loves you very much. “Oh no, (Y/N), are you alright?” He isn’t panicking, but he’s a little worried that you might be feeling in pain or too uncomfortable.

He will undoubtedly get you out very nice and slow, and make sure to inspect your face and arms to be absolutely certain that you aren’t hurt (you’d better hope so if you don’t want him to molest your poor washing machine afterwards).

If you’re embarrassed or uncomfortable about it, he’s going to bring you with him and keep making apple pie (it was supposed to be a surprise for you but fuck it) to distract you.

Gentle and cute, definitely makes good pies. 9/10 don’t forget to praise him for this please

FAMIN…

He’s.. I don’t know, probably stealing stuff from his brothers’ rooms when you call him, and his head makes a whole 180° turn before he realises that you need him, and he comes to see you.

Will probably sit on your back while you’re stuck. “Is it nice in there?” he’s going to ask while giggling. If you say it isn’t, he will pull you out immediately and sit next to you to check your expression for any discomfort.

However, if you’re dating Famin, you’re the type that will say it’s nice, so he will first of all pull you out of the washing machine, and then take your spot in there. He’s going to end up being stuck too.

Now you have to pull him out and you don’t know how to do that, you’re left with a jester inside a washing machine. Sounds like the beginning of an awful pun.

Helped, but got stuck instead. at least it was funny, 7/10.

DELISASTER…

He is 100% scrolling on social media or taking selfies when you call for him, and he’ll keep his eyes glued to his phone while making his way to you.

Upon seeing the pitiful display in front of him, he chuckles. “Oh, em, gee. Are you, like, stuck or something?” He will definitely sit down next to you and take selfies showing his face next to your figure, completely stuck.

He will start a TikTok livestream (titled "LMAO F IN THE CHAT FOR (Y/N)") and ask his followers for advice to get someone out of a washing machine, and make absolutely sure that everyone can see you. What a jerk.

If you start sulking or being too uncomfortable, he will put his phone away and get you out of there immediately, without any further questions. Maybe he’ll take you to a party or let you rest on his lap as an apology.

Mean, and why does he speak like a frat boy?? But at least he’s pretty and the party was nice. 7/10

A/N: hi. slightly early update because I realized that things are going to be very busy tomorrow and I likely won't have time to update.

housekeeping: MIND THE TRIGGER WARNINGS ON THIS CHAPTER. if any of them apply to you, I would recommend heading over to ao3 for a brief summary of events to know from this chapter and the option to skip to the comfort part of the chapter without reading the parts that may cause you distress. please take care of yourself. also mind the chapter length--this one is longer than average, so please take that into account when sitting down if you'd prefer not to be interrupted.

Summary: Noya doesn't tell you everything, but he tells you a lot.

Warnings and Tags: homophobia (including homophobic slur usage), child abuse, childhood sexual abuse and molestation. While none of these topics are shown in explicit detail, all are discussed in enough detail to be potentially triggering.

Words: 5100+

In a nutshell, there are two categories of information to this story:

things Nishinoya Yuu forgot

and

things no one ever told him

Now that he's been reminded, he can almost grasp shreds of memories in the first category. Pieced together with what Mei and Kaede told him, with what Mom confirmed for him, he has something like a narrative. It threads and sticks and congeals into something as he lays awake, your head on his chest. For the first time since your concussion, the weight suffocates him.

If he ever met his grandmother, he doesn't remember it. He was three, almost four, when she died. They'd traveled from Osaka for the funeral, Mom had stayed behind for a bit to help Jii-chan process things, and left them in their sperm donor's care for the month.

Yuu had broken his shoulder two days later.

Kaede had known the most, told him something vague about playing with Satsuki's dolls and that his dad his father his mother's ex the asshole hadn't liked it. It'd been a girly trait, and his one son was going to be a man. Mom had told him she'd been called about it, told that he'd hurt his arm but was going to be okay and he'd just fallen because it was hard to manage four rambunctious kids and not to worry, to stay in Miyagi with Jii-chan, he'd keep handling everything.

That had been two days alone with him, and as he's just found out, everything had only gotten worse from there.

~

The only thing Satsuki remembers from the time is there being one really bad day. It's normal, probably, to be a little afraid of your father—he's the source of money, he's the firm hand keeping everyone in line. Your father speaks in a loud voice and a harsh tone and makes sure that you're being raised right, which means girls do girly things like playing dolls and liking boys and boys do manly things like climbing trees and liking girls and no overlap ever shows. She'd written for some assignment in school years later, based on shreds of memory from when she was only four years old, that her dad had been loud and scary and hurt people, that this was why Kaede told her never to say that she had one.

It'd raised questions, ones that Mom had answered for the teachers but never for her. She guesses now that Yuu and Mei had been his favorites, and that's what saved her. The idea pisses her off—she wouldn't have been affected the way they were. She could have protected them, should have protected them. When she thinks of how Yuu always clung to her back then, how Mei grew up sad and distant and so, so scared, she gets even angrier.

Whenever she gets angry, Mom gets a call from the school and pretends not to. Kaede lectures her quietly soon after—don't make trouble for Mom, she's working so hard, you know?—and she usually has some outside justification prepared. Someone deserved it. The asshole who really deserves her rage never gets it, but self-defense or I was protecting someone weaker looks a lot better than Mei had a panic attack and I couldn't stop being angry for a week and needed to get it out of my system.

The memory of the really bad day—apparently, a really bad week, but it's all blurred together in her head—without the context of today, is mostly sounds—Yuu crying, Mei whimpering, Kaede screaming (don't touch her anymore she doesn't like it stop it). A smack of a hand against a face, Kaede sobbing. The sperm donor yelling, loud and firm and strict and everything Satsuki associates with being a father.

She's never quite lined it up with how kind Jii-chan is, to all of them and to Mom, but figures that he probably just doesn't need to be a father anymore now that his daughter has kids of her own.

She's sort of glad for it. The one thing that Satsuki is certain of is that she's never liked anyone else's father.

~

No one ever listened to Kaede. She tried telling teachers when bullying was taking place in her class, and no change. She tried telling the sperm donor that Mei didn't like the way he touched her, and he just told her to shut up. She even, once, tried telling a policeman that her sister didn't like it, and he'd politely but firmly told her that she was too old to be telling stories. Again and again and again.

This time, head screaming from the incident, she tries the doctors in the hospital. The sperm donor left—she had some sort of sick that made them say she needed to stay overnight—and left her with the doctors. She tells them that her papa hit her because she tried to stop him from doing weird stuff to Mei and that's how she got hurt, and that her papa hit her little brother too hard because he wasn't right in the head and something about him acting like a little faggot.

They'd laughed nervously, said she wasn't making a lot of sense and her memories were messed up. Her head was sick now, after all.

She'd asked to call her Mom, though, and they said yes to that.

Mom had picked up quickly, voice bored until Kaede told the right person for the first time.

Come home, she'd said, voice gritted through tears. Otoo-san hurt me an' Yuu. He keeps touching Mei. No one believes me but Mei doesn't like it.

Mom, at least, always knew how to listen to her.

~

Rina had thought the worst day of her life was when she got the call about her mom. A heart attack caused a fall caused a broken hip joint. Worse than that had come very quickly—by the time she'd rallied the family to come visit and made it there, she'd been in surgery for the hip, and by the time the kids had been settled, she'd been gone—some complication, something outside her personal expertise.

She felt too young to have a dead parent, too young to organize her funeral. Of course her husband and kids came, but standing there in all black in her childhood home and squaring her shoulders and trying her best to make her smile reach her eyes for all the guests' kindnesses at the wake made her feel like Yuu—quiet, scared, and tiny, too young for anything at all.

Every single one of those emotions paled in comparison to hearing Kaede's tiny, broken voice telling her to come home, telling her what had happened to her, to Mei, to Yuu. Was Satsuki involved? Were any of her kids safe?

She doesn't remember taking the train back, only that she barely remembered to bring her wallet for the ticket and that she spent the train ride racking up a phone bill by using all her data on legal research. She remembers what else Kaede had told her—that she was in the hospital tonight, that the doctors said she hit her head and it made her sick but that she didn't hit her head, her papa hit her head and that was what made her all sick.

She'd expected an argument with Yuuto when she came to take the kids, but he'd gone to work like everything was normal. Mei was at school, and Yuu and Satsuki were at daycare temporarily while she was in Miyagi with her dad. The house was empty, painfully empty, and in its void, Rina lashed out.

She packed as much as she could—a backpack and suitcase for each kid, a suitcase and the worn-out old diaper bag for her to carry. The laptop, her savings, any and all cash in the house she could find. Clothes for the kids and whatever toys she saw them play or sleep with the most often. Dad promised to have dinner ready for everyone when they got there.

She picked up Kaede from the hospital first. The poor girl was concussed, and would have a rough month to come and an even rougher time on the shinkansen, but there was no avoiding it. Her children were not spending another moment around that man. They talked for as long as Kaede could manage, her words stammery and halting, and then Rina searched the house for the best headphones she could find to block out any noise for her.

When Mei came home, another long talk. She confirmed what Kaede said, in much less but much clearer words. Told her that her papa had said it was her or one of the other girls, and she didn't want Satsuki or Kaede to get it, either, and it was okay, really. Told her much more, too, things she wouldn't repeat when finally, finally she told the youngest kids why they didn't have a father.

"We're going to go live with Jii-chan for a while," Rina told Mei.

"Do you want me to carry Nee-san's bags?" Mei asked.

Rina had smiled then. "You can carry Kaede's bags, and Satsuki and I will carry ours and Yuu's."

"Is Otoo-san coming?"

With bile in her throat, Rina kept up her smile. "No, honey. He has to work."

~

Mineo's convinced that the worst decision his daughter ever made was to get married.

She'd had a bright future ahead of her. Brilliant kid. Great marks in high school, great test results, was shaping up to become an equally brilliant attorney once she graduated. Next thing he knew, she was sitting down at the kitchen table with him and Mitsuru and telling them that she was pregnant, that she was marrying the father, that they'd agreed she would drop out of school to raise the baby.

And he loves his grandkids, he does. It's because he loves them that marrying that man was the worst decision his daughter could have made.

But he is Rina's father, and if Rina tells him I'm bringing the kids to stay with us and don't ever answer another phone call or door for Yuuto again, he's going to be a good father and say, I'll set up their bedrooms.

He knew this: that Yuu and Mei had been happy and bubbly once, and then they were quiet and scared. Rina had a shy phase when she was that small, but it had been just that—a phase—and Mei's had lasted two years already and showed no signs of stopping. When Rina arrived that night, overloaded with bags and with a teary-eyed, concussed Kaede on her hip, he could draw enough conclusions to drive a man to murder if he weren't so worried about who was going to care for his daughter and grandkids.

So they worked it out. Over late-night coffee, on the same dinner table with Rina half-carved into one of the legs (and a bloodstain from where she'd cut her hand on the knife halfway through), he listened to his daughter sob. He watched her pick herself up and watched her shift into her serious, focused one-and-a-half-years-of-law-school brain. They took the phone off the hook for the night, and Rina slept in the living room with three out of four kids. Mineo kept vigil over the fourth—Kaede, sleeping like the dead, waking up only to cry. He didn't blame her. She was going through the worst headache of her life.

He supported Rina as long as she needed. He made sure the kids were fed, he brought Yuu and Satsuki to the butcher shop with him so the house would be quiet while Rina stayed home with Kaede. They got both girls' schools transferred, and he brought Mei to school on her first day.

Rina broke away from the divorce without much more than full custody over the kids and the promise that if they ever spoke to that Yuuto again, it would be on their terms as grown adults and not a moment sooner. Yuuto got the house and the promise that Rina wouldn't go to the police or the courts over him molesting her daughter and abusing her other children, and he only got the latter because—only because—she already had, and had been summarily ignored. Something about her only evidence being a nod from a child unwilling to talk and the word of another child who wasn't in her right mind. (She had argued until she was impolitely and firmly told to leave. She had waited to cry until the kids fell asleep that night.)

He'd raised a strong daughter, but no parent is strong enough for the broken arm, the concussion, the untold mental damage. No parent is strong enough for the realization that your kids are shattered, that they might never be able to hear a raised voice without flinching, that they need more support than you can afford.

When Kaede was better, they brought Yuu and Satsuki to the shop with them and Mineo showed Rina the ropes. If nothing else, he was glad to have this time with her and have the house lively again. Glad to have someone to inherit the shop. Glad that, for a time, Yuuto wasn't coming anywhere near his daughter or his grandkids. He'd set his sights on the grandkids, on raising them up to be as healed as they could get.

When Sato Mei starts at a new school, she is quiet and meek and doesn't get along with anyone. She's introduced as Nishinoya Mei for reasons explained to her new teacher by Jii-chan using words like divorce and name change and explanations like should go through any day now and we don't want to confuse the other kids. No one had bothered to ask whether it confused her, but she wasn't talking much so she supposed that was fair.

The class is smaller than the one she'd been in back in Osaka, and Jii-chan had been the one to walk her here instead of Mom before rushing off to get the shop open for the day. Her classmates all know each other already, even though it's only been two weeks since school started, and what they know about her is that she's weird. They're curious, and they pry far too much, and Mei clenches her fists in her little frock and cries and doesn't answer a single question from the teacher or anyone.

Sato Mei is six, and her big sis is seven, and Kaede should be at school with her so they can whisper over lunchtime and Mei doesn't have to make any friends of her own, but Kaede is home with Mom with some new sickness called a concussion, which is apparently why everyone calls her Nishinoya-chan now instead of Sato. There's another Sato in her class, and every time someone addresses him she picks her head up or flinches away.

There is no one at this school with her on her side, but the teachers let her have her little stuffed cat after the first three days of mostly crying fits, and she hugs it and doesn't let go and when the mean girl in class tries to take it, she screams and screams and the teacher sternly tells the mean girl to never touch the cat again.

She tries to take Kaede's words to heart, mazed and thick with tears and a little lisped from where her cheek got cut. Be strong, Okaa-san needs us to be strong right now, and Mei really really tries.

The problem is, isn't it, that really really trying looks an awful lot like taking school seriously and doesn't look like making any friends, so when Kaede is better and gets to come to school with her, Mei glues right to her side at lunchtime over half thrown-together bento and helps her do her catchup homework and they forget to respond together when someone calls for a Nishinoya-chan and Mei never makes a friend of her own.

Okaa-san is sick, too, Nee-san tells her.

Because of Papa?

Don't call him that, she replies sternly, and because Mei is six and Kaede is seven and has been very sick because of him, she never calls him that again. Okaa-san says she's gonna make sure we don't have his name anymore an' he can't come near any of us again.

Because he touched me and made you sick?

Nee-san nods with a very serious look. And made Okaa-san sick, and hurt Yuu, and made Satsuki cry. Papas don't do that. He's not our Papa.

So Mei doesn't. She works hard at not making problems for Mom, and she takes care of Yuu and Satsuki when she comes home—Kaa-san and Jii-chan are busy with the shop and all these papers and stuff, and Yuu's arm is still in a cast so he needs a lot of help. She and Kaede learn to make rice, and over the months Mei learns how to use her hands to make the rice into the shapes she's learned at school. Kaede helps her with her counting—one cube, two cube, three triangle—and Kaa-san comes home to find all four Satou siblings piled on the floor, no onigiri left in sight, only stray grains of rice in the rice cooker, on the plates, on Yuu's cheek and Mei's fingertips, red and raw from handling the rice before it cooled.

Mei wakes up to her crying in Jii-chan’s arms, and she pretends to sleep as Mom sobs.

I don't know how to do this, Mom tells him. Otoo-san, I don't know how to take it all back and save them.

You can't. We just have to keep trying for them.

She takes it to heart. Walks into the library at school with Miss Kitty at hand and very seriously, very quietly asks the lady behind the counter if there are any books to learn to cook so she can help her Mom rest sometimes. There's four of us and I wanna help, she says, and the librarian buys it and sends her home with every age-appropriate cookbook the library has over the year. It's one of the first times she manages a complete conversation alone.

Balls of rice get salt, get fillings, get seaweed and chicken that Mei has boiled almost beyond edible. She gets better—on one of Kaa-san's good days, she teaches her how to cook the chicken without making it too dry, without taking it off too soon and making everyone sick.

The time crawls on. Mei learns how to make vegetables in the microwave, gets Yuu to eat his first broccoli on the same day that someone at school is talking about that weirdo Nishinoya-chan and for the first time Mei recognizes that means her. Lots of adults tell her lots of things about the man she's not supposed to call Papa anymore and she learns to be afraid of him, learns that if she ever sees him again, to run far and fast and tell someone where she saw him and avoid that place for as long as possible afterwards. Kaa-san's good days come more and more. Mei's nightmares don't go away.

She learns that other people don't cry like she does. Not as often or as vigorously, not with their whole bodies. Kaede learns how to help her so she doesn't cry as much, learns how to keep her away from the things that make her cry—a list that grows by the day and a task that grows more and more impossible. She spends a lot of time in libraries or with books, reads about far away places and really close places and things like mental health. Learns that she should paint so she cries with less of her body, bake so she can work her tears out into something people can love. None of the hobbies stick very well—they're things she does, not things she loves, and one of her books talks about depression in a way that feels like a portrait drawn of her without a reference.

When she brings home Soba, she picks them back up, tries harder. Sometimes, she cries only a little bit. Sometimes, she wants to cry but doesn't. Everything and everyone gets better, and she has learned that the thing in the world she should be most afraid of, more than dying, more than her family dying, more than cars or trains or poison gas or earthquakes, is Sato Yuuto, and the idea of ever, ever being alone with him again.

You wake up to something hard and painful dropping on your face, to the tune of Noya's panicked swearing.

"Sorry," he says. "Dropped my phone, I didn't mean to—shit—" He cuts off in a sniffle.

"It's okay," you whisper back. "Are you? Okay, I mean."

He sighs. Drops his phone beside the two of you. "I will be."

"Can I help?"

"I'll be alright, I just need—time, or something."

You sit up, stare into the darkness towards where you're pretty sure his face is. "I think you need a lot more than that."

"You don't have to force yourself. I don't even know how I'd—it's all so much, and I'm kind of feeling too much, and I'm trying to make sense of it and my head is swimming and I don't need to bother you with shit like that—"

"Noya," you interrupt. You reach out blindly to cup his face and find a shoulder. Your hand follows it up to cup his cheek. "Do you realize how completely amazing you are?"

"I'm not."

"You are. You're always looking after me. If there's even a chance I could be, like, one percent happier than I am at the moment, you always, always, always go out of your way to help. I swear, you've developed an extra sense just for taking care of me. You know how much it bugs me to accept things from people without doing anything for them in return? Can you let me make it up to you right now? Can you let me take care of you for once?"

You can actually feel his expression melt beneath your hand, the tension bleeding away just slightly. "Are you sure you don't mind?"

"I will, in fact, mind a lot if you don't let me help you."

He sits up with you. Crushes you in another tight hug. "You should marry me."

"You should keep asking."

A laugh, delirious and choked with tears. "You know how, no matter what I tell you, you're always telling me you're a bad person who's gonna fuck up and hurt me?"

"Yeah. That part where I'm warning you that I'm probably gonna break your heart no matter what my actual intention is and you keep hanging your hopes on me anyway?"

"I think I'm worse."

Your instinct is to refute. Instead, you let him pull you into his lap, search for the most comfortable way to cuddle up to him. His chin rests atop your head. "I'm gonna need evidence for that one."

He sighs. He tries to find the words, and fails. "Well, I… I guess I was right about my father. The whole scar thing. They wouldn't say what, exactly, he had to say about me, but apparently the asshole knew I wasn't a hundred percent straight way before I ever did and tried to fix it."

You gasp despite yourself. "By…"

"Broke my shoulder for touching a toy meant for a girl. I was, like, three or something."

"Noya, that's horrible. I'm sorry."

He laughs, bitter and low. "That's like, the least bad thing I heard about him today."

"There's worse?"

A slow nod. "Kaede's concussion. And… some other shit."

You suck in a breath. "I… can I hold you?"

"You're kinda holding me right now." He sounds wrung out, exhausted.

It's a feeling you know all too well, which only makes you more desperate to do something. "No, you're holding me and I'm reciprocating. Let me hold you."

He doesn't put up a fight. You crawl out of his lap, shuffle around with him until his head rests on your chest for once, until your fingers work through sparse little tangles in his hair and your arm rests on his waist. It's too intimate, too dangerous, but he needs this, you think, and you need to give it to him.

He lasts about two seconds in this position before his sigh breaks into a sob. "I'm too pissed off and I don't know how to stop it. I don't want to be him. I don't want to—to hurt anyone like he hurt Mei or Kaede. I've never been this scared of being angry before."

Mei. He hadn't even mentioned the story with her—worse than a broken arm on a three year old, a concussion on an older-than-that year old. Bad enough that a glimpse of him had her locked in her bedroom all evening. Bad enough that Noya will elaborate on getting his shoulder broken for being slightly effeminate before he'll elaborate on what happened to her.

"I don't think you should try to stop the anger, Noya. It's natural. You're supposed to feel emotions, even the shitty ones."

"I got pissed off when Mei told me how he—" He chokes on his words, has to squeeze his arms around you for a solid ten seconds before he can continue. "When Mei told me her part of the story, and I raised my voice, and she got so much more scared. She had another panic attack. I had to give her to Kaede because I can't help her through it when it's my fault."

"I think she was probably just sensitive because she was coming off the heels of another panic attack and had just told you about something that hurt her a lot." You stroke his hair gently as you search for the words. "It's okay if you're angry, Noya. The bad thing about emotions comes from what you do with them, not the emotions themselves. I don't think she blames you."

"One time, I almost decked Asahi-san," he mumbles. "I was yelling and I broke a broom and Asahi-san quit the team for like a month. And then I shoved the VP and broke a vase, and got suspended from club activities for a month."

As much as you want to hear that story, you'll withhold. You can't handle any more stories tonight, not even relatively lighthearted ones. "Azumane-san's clearly over it, and the vase had it coming. Mei got scared because she was already scared and her brain was searching for other potential dangers to protect itself from. Anger doesn't make you bad, it makes you a person, Noya."

"You haven't seen me when it's the only thing I can focus on. I don't want you to see me like that."

You sigh, scrape nails lightly against his scalp. "Those moments won't be forever."

"Long enough to do something stupid. Long enough to fuck up and scare Mei and hurt you."

You sigh. Nuzzle the top of his head. His hair is soft and still a little damp from his earlier shower and smells far, far too nice. "I think you and I have the exact same fear in opposite directions. I don't know exactly what to say to you because nothing has ever or probably will ever make that go away. I think all you can do is live with it and learn to handle the anger."

"Will you still marry me if the man who fathered me is a rancid piece of shit?"

"As far as I'm concerned, you have an amazing mom who loves you a lot and I've never met a father. I'm happy to leave it at that."

"I'm named after him, too. His name was Yuuto. Okaa-san got us out as soon as she found out about everything, and when the divorce went through we got a name change. I think she should've changed my first name. I was young enough that I never would've known."

"I get it," you sigh. "I do like your name, though. It's nice."

"If anyone other than you or my family calls me that, I might deck them. You're allowed if you want, though."

No way in hell are you calling him that—you don't have the strength—but you're also not up for shutting him down right now. "Mm, but I also like calling you Noya."

"I was a Sato for a while."

"Okay, yeah, that's a definite improvement. You're a Nishinoya through and through. I don't think I'd ever be able to call you Sato-senpai with a straight face."

He lets out a disgusted noise. "Never say that again."

"Sorry."

"Don't be." He pauses. Sighs. "I'm glad you're here. Thanks for everything today. I'll make it up to you."

"Don't you dare. I have a whole month of concussion care to collect on, and one night of moral support doesn't even begin to make up for that and all the emotional turmoil you've helped me through."

"All that's just like, basic human decency."

"So's this. How are you feeling?"

"Exhausted."

"Exhausted and sleepy, or are you gonna attack me with your phone again?"

"Exhausted and sleepy," he nods.

"Then, let's get some sleep. I would get it if you skipped practice tomorrow, but—"

"No. We're not gonna beat Shiratorizawa by me skipping practice over my emotional shit."

"Just… let yourself feel it, okay?"

"Let's start with sleeping," he replies, yawning. "Are you still okay with this?"

"It's fine if it's helping you."

"It is," he murmurs. You pretend not to notice his face squishing a little further into your chest. "You gotta marry me."

"Get some sleep, and we'll look at that quota in the morning."

"'Kay. G'night."

"Goodnight, Senpai."

43. Hi, don't worry, you didn't miss a footnote marker, this is a general footnote for the chapter as a whole and doesn't link to a specific sentence further up. I wanted to include a Soba POV somewhere in the mix here to truly get every Nishinoya's voice in here, but I couldn't seem to pull it off in a way that contributed to the chapter without creating an issue of tonal mismatch or seeming irreverent towards the subject matter discussed here. I did a lot of research in preparing this chapter, and while I don't have any experience with CSA in particular, I have a little bit with sexual assault and have done my best to treat it thoughtfully. I didn't want to work around it so much that it felt too delicate or infantilizing. I hope I've done it justice, and that, if you've been there, I've done right by you and that you're able to heal.

could you enlighten me on the treeflayer theory?

Sure thing!

In a nutshell: there might be a giant tree monster in S5.

I don't really have a fully fledged theory, it's mostly just based off of the "tree flayer" folder on Michael Maher Jr's (now private) pinterest board discovered back in August. (which of course, could also not be his real pinterest at all lmao)

Though, I know two films that have been mentioned in ST use the trope of tree monsters. The Evil Dead (1981) and Poltergeist (1982).

That's just in-universe. I'm positive there's plenty more films on Season 4's DNA board and the Video Store Friday List that have tree monsters. Mabye even some in the background of Family Video.

The Guardian (I'm assuming they mean the 1990 horror and not the 2006 action)

The Cabin in the Woods (2011) has an "Angry Molesting Tree" as one of it's many monsters. I know @aemiron-main has already made a post about some of the film's other similarites to ST.

Going off of just the name "Tree Flayer" I assume that'd basically be a tree that is possessed by the Mind Flayer. Much like how the trees in both Poltergeist and The Evil Dead are regular trees possessed by otherworldly entities. (i think, i havent actually seen the evil dead im behind a lot lol)

The reason this concept interests me is because currently, everything that we've seen the Mind Flayer possess/flay has had a brain. Trees are living things, of course, they just don't have brains like humans or rats do. Trees are also directly connected to earth's soil itself. What better way to take over the world than to go down to the literal roots?

That is, of course, if the Mind Flayer actually has the ability to possess brainless organisms in the real world. I think it'd be a fun concept the writers could be exploring and playing around with this season. There's definetely enough narrative groundwork for it.

THE ULTIMATE CABIN IN THE WOODS POLL 1/3

Part 2 Part 3

[nysocboy]

Gemstones Episode 2.5: Yep, Kelvin is gay, but there's embezzlement and murder, too

Episode 2.5 is a flashback to Christmas 1993.  Since two of the season's big questions are "Did Eli kill Glendon Marsh?" and "Is Junior trying to kill to get revenge?" we get some Eli-Glendon back story.

Knives or nunchuks? As the family is photographed at the Gemstone Christmas tree, Judy torments 4-year old Kelvin.  Jesse says that he's going to give him a weapon for Christmas, so he can defend himself: "Knives, or nunchuks."  Eli forbids him from giving his brother weapons.  Jesse complains that he's going to grow up to be "a pussy."  He explains that a pussy is someone who doesn't like to do things and is afraid of everything.  Sounds sort of like a gay stereotype.

You have to think of the optics: Eli is planning to move the Salvation Center to a giant coliseum.  The church board complains that he can't afford it: he's already spent church money on a private zoo and amusement park.  Hey, that's embezzlement!  They also advise that "the rich pastor is not a good look."  But Eli won't listen: "I cannot imagine a more ridiculous comment.  Big means success. People want to see something bigger than life." Well, this is during the tail-end of the Reagan-Bush "wealth is virtue" era.

"But we're spending more than we have!" accountant Terry (Mike Ostroski) complains. Gulp: Eli fires him!

Get that boy some mousse: Baby Billy shows up unexpectedly, having abandoned his wife Gloria and son (he claims that they abandoned him, but Aimee-Leigh calls her and discovers the truth).  

Kelvin: "Dang, Baby Billy is thirsty."  But Billy isn't drinking anything.  Does he mean "thirst trap'?  That expression won't be common until the 2010s, but apparently it is used here to indicate that he thinks his uncle is hot.  Remember that in Season 1, the adult Kelvin and Judy comment on the attractiveness of their grown-up nephew Gideon.  

Baby Billy tells Kelvin that his estranged wife said:  "You have the most boring haircut in the world.  Get that boy some mousse."  Kelvin is upset (concerned with his appearance, a gay stereotype). Remember that the adult Kelvin uses mousse to create that upward wave.

Later, Kelvin demonstrates that he can play the harpsichord blindfolded (um..big deal?  Nobody looks down at the keys while playing).  Baby Billy calls him a prodigy and hugs and kisses him, obviously looking for a brainy replacement for his special-needs son.  The siblings scoff.  This musical talent is never referenced again.

The Return of Glendon Marsh:  As Eli walks through the office, everyone smiles and says "Good morning, Dr. Gemstone."  Everybody.  It looks creepy rather than friendly. "Be nice, or he'll turn you into a toad." 

His new accountant, Martin, starts off on the wrong foot by sitting in his chair!  

 Glendon Marsh, his boss when he was wrestling and breaking thumbs back in Memphis, shows up unexpectedly and asks Eli to take care of $3,000,000 that he doesn't want the government to know about, and he can keep $1,000,000 for his trouble.  Hey, that's money laundering!  But Eli has already been embezzling, so what's the difference?  Aimee-Leigh and Martin disapprove, and Eli finally refuses. 

The Sleepover:  Baby Billy and Kelvin are playing hide-and-seek or something on bunk beds, while Jesse lies in a sleeping bag.   The top bunk is fenced in, so you don't accidentally fall out.  This must be Kelvin's room. 

Judy enters with her own sleeping bag, angry that she wasn't invited. Jesse explains that it was impromptu: nothing going on in his room, so he came in here, looking for action.  "What'd you find?" Judy asks. "Uncle Tickles molesting Kelvin? Flopping that little dong?" This is the first of three pedophilia references this season, and another of  the incessant digs about Kelvin's penis.  No wonder the adult Kelvin is afraid to show it to Keefe. 

Baby Billy tells her to "hush that kind of talk.  Ain't nobody playing dong pong in here." But suddenly Kelvin doesn't want his uncle to sleep with them. Wait -- I thought they had a special bond.  Is it because of the pedophilia accusation?  Or is he self-conscious because Judy dissed his penis?

Muscle and Fitness: Holy sh*t, there's a cover of  Muscle and Fitness magazine taped to the wall!  It's only visible for a second before Judy turns off the light, but holy sh*t. "Mama, please buy me that magazine.  I know I can't read yet -- I want to look at the hot guys."

If it is meant to signify Kelvin's interest in muscle, why just a man on the cover?  I worked for Muscle and Fitness back in the day, and the cover always featured a man and a woman together or a celebrity bodybuilder like Lou Ferrigno.  The set dresser  chose  this one deliberately to signify that Kelvin likes men  (or had it made up. That cover did not appear on any issue from 1990 to 1995).

Christmas Day:  . I couldn't tell if Kelvin received any gay-coded gifts.  Baby Billy asks for his help in opening his present, and at the Christmas service they sing together and hug, so they are apparently friends again. 

That night, Jesse and Kelvin are playing their Double Dragon arcade game -- call back to Episode 1.1 -- while Eli and Aimee-Leigh discuss the move to the coliseum.  How can they afford it, when they're broke? 

Suddenly accountant Martin Imari appears -- no security station yet, just a buzzer.  Eli lets him in -- but Glendon Marsh has him at gunpoint!  Glendon orders Eli to take the money, or he'll kill his family.   Then Eli's dad, Roy Gemstone, appears and shoots Glendon.  He has dementia, and has been running around in his underwear, asking "Are we going hunting?", so it is unclear whether he is saving Eli or just shooting. 

Martin and Eli bury the body under the site for the new rollercoaster at the amusement park, thus explaining the obsessive riding.   

In the present, we see Eli riding the roller coaster, looking grim, while Junior, Glendon's son, looks at old photos and plays with a gun.

My grandfather called my mom and everyone braced themselves for bad news… but he was just asking where he can get some dry shampoo for my grandmother before Friday😮‍💨 Pretty sure that’s gonna happen every time he calls now. We know it’s inevitable at this point and it’s so sad. My nana has lived a hard life and I hate the circumstances she’s in… I’m not ready to say goodbye any time soon. But I can feeeel that it won’t be long now💔

When I went to go see her she was in and out of being aware of who we even were. BUT I had to help the nurse bathe her and I was just thankful I got to help care for her. I’ll hold it close for the rest of my life… I had to tell her multiple times that I was baby girl. That’s what everybody called me as a kid. There was a moment where she genuinely recognized me, and I took that moment to tell her that I loved her. And she smiled 😭 almost like she hadn’t heard those words in a while…… it was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time

I’m constantly thinking about all of our memories and all she’s been for me. All of the times she’d tease me for talking in my sleep or falling out of the bed lol… all the times she’d let me and my brother stay up til 3 in the morning and we’d all just laugh talk and watch movies… all the Bible studies and ferry trips to Williamsburg to get snacks and toys cuz at the time there were no type of stores like that in surry(country AF lol)… all the birthdays and summers and holidays spent in surry county… all the times she’d come to norfolk to stay with us for a while… how’d she send me to the store and let me keep the change every time lol… how she caught me smoking a cigarette out my window one time when I was a teenager and she never told my parents🤞🏽 all the conversations that helped me when I moved to Georgia, and was lost…. Terrified…. She’s been a great grandmother man. She did the best she could and I know that now…. it’s gonna be a hard road forgiving myself for being so angry for so long

When I told her I was molested as a kid, she didn’t believe me. And it hurt me to my core. I distanced myself from her in my mid 20’s because of it. I was so certain that I’d make peace with her once she was on the other side, because it was so hard to let go of that pain. But if I know nothing else about my family, I know molestation is every branch of the family tree.. she was probably just denying her own pain and whatever happened to her. Her children. Her nieces and nephews. It’s truly been a family curse. And it all ends with me. With my brother.

I know death is a reality for all of us. One day I’m gonna have a last day with everyone I love. I just hope I learn to forgive the ones that TRULY matter, before it’s too late. I don’t want to be in a never ending cycle of anger and regret.

All these bullet pointed are the artifacts/objects which correspond to each monster within the movie. I find it fascinating in this aspect because no one actually knows if it is true or not, however they all match up to each monster and I enjoy knowing that each monster has an artifact inside the movie. This also makes sense to me as they could have been brought up as monsters experimented on and turned into these monsters (hypothesis). I picked this movie as if I were to model the artifacts in the movie, I would be able to make up my own style choice for what the objects would look like, as well as go into more depth in research on why these objects equate to the monsters.

Ether 13, Part 6. "The Living Room."

Illumination of the story of Coriantumr, "the return to innocence" and Shared, "the survivors" continues. They argue and fight in the Valley of Gilgal, "the pulley" or the "cycle", in other words, "here we go again."

The Valley of Gilgal is like marriage counseling. It's probably not going to work. People without good sense and a strong commitment are not going to find it through the input of a third party but it's worth a try. This is what is happening in America now: we are under the impression that election years fix things but really, they don't because we entered into a troubled marriage the last time we elected a president and the time before that. Unless the cycle is broken, we divorce and find someone else, things are not going to change.

The Prophet says this discussion between the American people and their politicians does not take place at the ballot box but in Heshlon, "the living room":

26 And there were robbers, and in fine, all manner of wickedness upon all the face of the land.

27 And it came to pass that Coriantumr was exceedingly angry with Shared, and he went against him with his armies to battle; and they did meet in great anger, and they did meet in the valley of Gilgal; and the battle became exceedingly sore.

28 And it came to pass that Shared fought against him for the space of three days. And it came to pass that Coriantumr beat him, and did pursue him until he came to the plains of Heshlon.

If the face of the land is one of evil, then the rage of the angels has to give it a face lift. The people have to get angry and put their anger to use. The Republicans simply do not get it. They need to be dragged out of their offices, hitched up to the bumpers of pickup trucks and hauled away. People are dead in America, Ukraine and in Israel because of them. While they prattled away about prayer, Jesus, and abortions, their jobs went undone innocent lives were taken, and now they have to pay.

v. 27: Once again, humanity needs to surpass the Third Day and forsake all violence and the causes of violence. When there is anger, violence is not far away. The only way to invoke anger and violence without a need to repent of violations of the Three Days is to be among the righteous. The Republicans are not they.

v. 28 says the battle starts on the Plain of Heshlon, AKA the Living Room, "the place where the sentient rest."

So Heshlon is the court room, not an actual bloody battle field. Our enemies have rap sheets bigger than rolls of paper towels. You should have seen the video library of all the kids and adults these fuckups have molested, including Donald Trump. They cannot be allowed to serve, bring harm, or to live among normal persons. This was before they colluded to take over the Presidency of Iran and start cutting its people into pieces or orchestrating their attacks in Israel.

The general public needs to insist all of these things are addressed right under the spotlight, starting today.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 26:  And there were robbers, and in fine, all manner of wickedness upon all the face of the land. The Value in Gematria is 3898, ג‎חטח‎ ‎, "mowed."

v. 27: He was angry with the survivors. The Value in Gematria is 11257, יא‎בהז‎ ‎, yabahaz, "the object of desire is a strong grip."

v. 28: And it came to pass that Shared fought against him for the space of three days. And it came to pass that Coriantumr beat him, and did pursue him until he came to the plains of Heshlon. The Value in Gematria is 6270, ו‎בזאֶפֶס‎, and bezapes, "the frowning."

=

Guilty.

The people allowed a secret combination, deep and wide corruption to enter their lives and now they have to get rid of it and it does not have to be pleasant when they do it.

Government provides stability to the world like a string of Christmas Tree lights provide light to a home. When one of the lights goes out, the world notices. When many go out, an abomination of a sacred symbol results. The Government of the United States of America is making too many mistakes. It is taking too many risks by allowing a corrupt political organization to maintain its presence within the power structure. Its Christmas Tree light is blinking.

Unlike other provinces that are experiencing trouble, those in America can be fixed in a crourt room without the need for combat. In places like Russia, major combat is going to be needed to restore light and life to its people. Since America is the strongest force for good in the world or it was or should be, it makes sense to use the courts to free it from corruption at once and use its might as an example to others who think they are going to use and abuse others and get away with it.

[gods-favorite-autistic]

Also they make two evil dead refs on that whiteboard with angry molesting tree and deadites but in evil dead the angry molesting tree is what caused the first girl to become possessed in the first place (I think I haven’t actually seen the full movie but they have some part in the possession stuff going on) so those are kind of the same event

Love how in cabin in the woods there are specifically witches on the board and then there are sexy witches on the board also there are dismemberment goblins which have to be different from regular goblins somehow but regular goblins aren’t on the board also also one of them is labeled sasquatch/yeti which either means they are the same creature or they both show up??

A second post from “The Cabin in the Woods: The Official Visual Companion”

Description of the pictures:

Picture 1 and 2: The Goblins, also known as “Dismemberment Goblins”

Picture 3 and 4: Pictures of the deleted scene of the “Alien” (for those who don’t remember it, when going down the elevator Marty and Dana were supposed to see up close the cube of the Alien, probably before the Hell Lord/Ballerina cube scene). 

Picture 5: Zombies in a cube

Picture 7: The scene of the Goblins riding the small metro cart, with by their side the Mummy

Picture 8: More of the Dismemberment Goblins

Picture 9: The Yeti/Bigfoot/Sasquatch in his cube

Picture 10: The Cyclop in his cube

Some interesting facts and informations from the book:

# Several times the “nine monitors” on which the camera zooms during the “Purge” sequence are mentionned. We know that among them we can see the “Doll mask people”, “Reptilius” and the “Vomitting Mutants”.

# The Dragonbat is of course mentionned

# It is mentionned that in its original scene, (well its original background scene) the Angry Molesting Tree was animated in such a way it really sexually assaulted its victim. The filmmakers had to explain to the animators that it was supposed to be an “Angry Molesting Tree” and not an “Angry Raping Tree”, and thus the attack was “softened up”.

# By now most of the fans probably know about “Kevin”. Kevin is a name that appears on the betting board of monsters. In the Companion, it is explained that Kevin was supposed to look like “a very sweet person, the kind that could work at Best Buy”. During the Purge he would “wander down the hall” amist the massacre, and off-screen exsanguinate someone - the idea being that he was a perfectly normal and human-looking person that turned out to be a monster like the others. However, the Companion clearly states that the filmmakers decided to abandon Kevin altogether - even though he is on the board, and in the script, they never filmed his scene nor included it in the movie. They explained Kevin would have been “too confusing” for the audience. So stop searching for Kevin in the movie - you will never find him.

# For the creation of the Buckners, the filmmakers explained that yes, they are basically a zombified version of the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” family, but that it wasn’t their original intention. The idea for the Buckners was much more simple : they wanted to have zombies “with characters”, based on the zombies/undeads/possessed corpses from the “Evil Dead” movie. They also wanted something “slow, scary and terrible”, again using ideas from both “Evil Dead” and “Night of the Living Dead”. Only in a second time did the ideas of the “Old World”, of the “prairie family”, of the use of weapons and of the pain-worshipping cult came. 

# The filmmakers wanted this movie to be primarly a reference to the movie “Evil Dead”, which they consider to be a masterpiece in terms of horror movie experience. They also explained they wanted to explore this idea of evolution of the horror movie. They take for exemple the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre which, compared to the original, is “ugly, stupid and morally bankrupt” (their words). For them, it represents the fact that we, human beings, continue a same ritual and repeat the same ritual, the horror movie ritual, despite said ritual degenerating. 

# For the Japan scene, the filmmakers wanted to represent what they perceive as Japan’s cultural duality, with on one side a very downbeat horror (the monster here being based on the famous J-horror ghosts from “Ring” and “Ju-on”), and on the other side a very bright, happy and childish culture, with anime and manga, in their words a “crazy optimistic kind of culture, with bright colors, bright lights, singing and weirdness” - hence the ritual taking place in a classroom full of children and anime-like posters, and the monster ending up being defeated by a cute little ritual.

Vernon mother looks for more safeguards around transitioning after son commits suicide

By: Jennifer Smith

Published: Apr 28, 2023

Kaleb began transitioning in Grade 6 with the help of a Kelowna clinic

A Vernon mom robbed of her joy in life after her son committed suicide is speaking out against transgender policies in hopes of saving others.

Kaleb, formerly Joy, Fisher would have been 18 next month.

He was a straight-A student, an over-achiever, never did drugs or drank alcohol, had a job since he was 14 and was accepted into the RCMP Police Academy for the upcoming session.

But on April 23, Kaleb killed himself.

“I found him. I woke up in the morning and he wasn’t in his room. He had suffocated himself,” said Gail, a single mother who worked two jobs to provide for her son and herself.

He left a long letter for his mom and his girlfriend.

“He was afraid for the future. He said in his note he didn’t want to end up like me, working myself to death.”

Kaleb was transitioning from female to male, a decision Gail supported as she knew since the day he was born that he was destined to be a boy.

Gail thinks Kaleb’s decision was primarily sparked after a Grade 4 incident at school where he (she at the time) was molested.

He never wanted to be a girl after that and in Grades 6 and 7 started the transition.

“I supported him through it.”

Kaleb did his research and found a clinic in Kelowna that would help him be the man he wanted to be.

The problem was, Gail was never consulted by the clinic.

“At 13 he was able to do all of it without my permission.”

At 13 he couldn’t buy alcohol or cigarettes or cannabis, he couldn’t get a tattoo without his mom’s permission, but he was given drugs and injections and was even scheduled for a top reduction this year.

“He saw the doctor like once a year. It’s quite careless. They never even showed him how to take those injections.”

Kaleb was smart though, and he did everything right, even marking his calendar with injection dates.

In March, Gail said the calendar shows he stopped the injections.

That’s when she suspects things started to grow dark for her bright, bubbly child.

He never outwardly appeared sad or distraught in any way, but she learned how he was really feeling the morning she read his note.

“He was so angry, so sad, so hateful.”

He was on medications for years, and she knows there were stretches when he wouldn’t take them.

She doesn’t understand why a doctor or clinic would push these parentless procedures, with no real follow-up or support.

“There needs to be changes to safeguard these kids.”

She would like to see such youth, and parents, provided counselling before injections, so they are appraised of the dangers.

“Do we know the long-term effects of giving these medications?”

Kaleb isn’t the only one.

“I have friends in Kelowna that lost their daughter a year ago and she was on the same injections.”

And now she knows the harsh statistics of transitioning youth.

“Preliminary findings is one in five of these kids are taking their lives.”

Gail and Kaleb lived in Coldstream until COVID-19 hit.

“I lost my home, I lost everything,” said the entertainment director at the Longhorn Pub in Vernon who many know for her superstar karaoke.

She started a painting business, and Kaleb was her best employee.

“We were a formidable team.”

Kaleb attended Kalamalka Secondary briefly before going online with VLearn. He also attended Kidston Elementary, where he was given the Friendship Award.

Gail knows many students who knew Kaleb are struggling with the news and she has planned a Celebration of Life at Coldstream Creek Park for May 17 at 4:30 p.m. so they can come after school. She is trying to get approvals to plant a maple tree, as Kaleb wanted, in the park.

Respectful, kind and helpful are a few of the words loved ones use to describe him.

He was also incredibly creative – he had been writing novels since he was nine and was making costumes for the upcoming Comic Con.

“He was a beautiful soul with such a bright future,” said family friend Ricky Rochon, who thought of Kaleb like a son and created a GoFundMe for Gail.

“As a parent, I can’t fathom this kind of pain. It breaks my heart.”

More than $12,000 has been raised to date, a portion of which Gail plans to use for a bursary in Kaleb’s memory, and the rest to help her through this difficult time.

Jaskier is a fucking creep

TW: mentions of sexual assault

No one ever did as much for Jaskier as the Netflix show. Here are some things he does in the books:

- gropes a priestess at Melitele temple and when Nenneke gets angry at him, he tells her that she “just doesn’t have a sense of humor”

- stares at Yennefer when she was tied up, her clothes got ripped off her and she was being molested, even though she begged him not to look; he does not only stare, but makes sure she understands he does that because he’s angry at her (as a form of punishment and revenge); he also comments that she looks great and her skin is as smooth as a skin of a sixteen year old girl

- brags about cheating on his partners A LOT and treats it as a normal part of his relationships

- makes fun of anything women do a lot for someone who claims they like women

- groups attractive women into three groups: “very polite(/kind), polite(/kind), impolite(/unkind), and very impolite(/unkind)” based on how they reacted to a sex proposition; the very polite ones were those who reacted with “enthusiastic consent”, polite ones reacted with a “cheerful smile”, impolite ones reacted in a “hard to predict way”, the “very impolite” ones were those that you were scared to propose sex to.

- stares at a women Geralt was having sex with after he interrupted them even though she clearly tried to hide

- sexualizes every woman he sees

- his wish for the geenie was “[name] is a woman who doesn’t want to sleep with anyone... I want her to sleep with me” (it has a very different vibe from “I want my ex to take me back”)

- about a girl earlier described as “she couldn’t be older than eighteen”, says something along the lines of “what does Yennefer has that Essi doesn’t? Looks? I know she’s not the youngest, but at least she looks exactly her age” WTF JASKIER, YES, SHE IS IN FACT THE YOUNGEST, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

- says “women don’t need money. what would they need it for? they don’t drink, they don’t dice and they are, god dammit, women themselves!”

- says “man was not created to be monogamous”

- says that mandrake is an aphrodisiac cause it can be used to “break girl’s resistance”

- there was a sentence in the book that said "only hedgehogs and women who'd climb a very tall tree were safe from Jaskier", i know it was supposed to mean he is a master seducer but in addition to his creepiness it just sounded really terrifying

I wouldn’t trust netflix Jaskier with a drink cause he would drink it, I wouldn’t trust game Jaskier with a drink cause he wouldn’t really watch it and I wouldn’t trust book Jaskier with a drink cause he would fucking spike it.

DISCLAIMER: I only read the books in polish, I am translating quotes on my own, I don’t know how those things were phrased in the english translation

[vettelcore]

you all laugh at r/incels but i refuse to go back there because the last time i browsed that subreddit i saw one guy bragging about how he had terrified one girl and made her believe he was going to do something bad to her to the point where she ran away from him just because he thought it would be funny to do it

these assholes terrifies the shit out of me. The guy in that post seemed like he was one step away from actually raping that girl, seriously

The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

Fact That Totally Worked the First Time I Watched This: The movie's opening was a deliberate attempt by filmmakers Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon to confuse the audience and make them think they walked in to see the wrong movie.

Reference Fact: The scene where Curt asks Jules about the textbooks, "What are you doing with these? Who gave you these? Who taught you about these?" and she answers, "I learned it from you! Okay? I learned them from watching you!" is a take-off on a 1987 Anti-Drug PSA where the father confronts his son about drug paraphernalia and gets a similar answer.

Bong Fact: The thermal coffee mug/bong was a fully functional mug and bong as portrayed in the film, the prototype of which cost $5000 to make.

Sweet Fact: When Jules kisses the wolf head on the wall, the wolf's tongue is covered in powdered sugar to give it a dusty look and to make the scene tolerable for Anna Hutchison.

Latin Fact: The Latin that Dana reads from the diary is: "Dolor supervivo caro. Dolor sublimus caro. Dolor ignio animus." It means: Pain outlives the flesh. Pain raises the flesh. Pain ignites the spirit.

Monster Possibilities: Among the possible choices on the facility's betting board are the following: Werewolf, Alien Beast, Mutants, Wraiths, Zombies, Reptilius, Clowns, Witches, Sexy Witches, Demons, Hell Lord, Angry Molesting Tree, Giant Snake, Deadites, Mummy, The Bride, The Scarecrow Folk, Snowman, Dragonbat, Vampires, Dismemberment Goblins, Sugarplum Fairy, Merman, The Reanimated, Unicorn, Huron, Sasquatch/Wendigo/Yeti, Dolls, Zombie Redneck Torture Family, The Doctors, Jack O' Lantern, Giant, Twins, and Kevin.
