Maybe he should have told someone that he’d signed up for this.

He should have looked a little harder for other work. He should have rewritten his resume, he should have asked around, he should have walked every mile of the city in search of Help Wanted signs, he should have filled in every application available to him.

But no, Alan saw an opportunity for a quick buck, and he’d jumped at it without a second thought.

Though in his defense —if there was any to be had— he would never have imagined what the outcome would be, not in his wildest dreams. “Volunteers Wanted to Test New Products - Same Day Pay” had sounded a lot like he was going to be sampling food or lotion or soap or something reasonable. He would have never considered that they were testing devices, and that those devices could alter him so drastically.

He should have asked more questions. He should have paid more attention. He should have read the very fine print of the piles and piles of paperwork they’d had him sign down to the letter.

He should have made a break for it when they pointed the fearsome beast of modern machinery at him. He should have done anything but stand still on the little ‘x’ made from blue painters tape. He should have taken the large whir and the sudden glow of the device as a bad omen.

There were so… so many things Alan should have done.

But he hadn’t.

Alan had only let it happen to him, like the idiot that he was, and this is where it had landed him: craning his neck up to the sky just to try and meet the gigantic faces of the several story scientists who had pulled the trigger. He’d expected maybe some concern on their part, or even satisfaction at the result, but instead he only found them scribbling on clipboards as if shrinking to a twelfth of his size was as droll of outcome as a vague rash.

“I think we could still call this a success.” Said one, his voice louder than life despite the fact that he wasn’t shouting at all.

“We weren’t trying to build a shrink-ray, Johnson. I’m not sure if we’ll be able to chalk this up as a win to the board of directors.” Replied the equally loud voice of the other as she continued scribbling her notes, sounding almost bored with the situation, if not slightly annoyed.

“But think of all the applications a device like this could have! We could use this to use more sophisticated and complex tools or-...”

“-You’re getting ahead of yourself. We haven’t even assessed the outcome properly.” She snapped before handing her clipboard over to the other, striking green eyes now locking on the tiny form of their subject.

Alan’s knees were shaking. Every breath left him as a small whimper, and his heart was racing so quickly that he was certain that it might tear out of his own chest and go skipping across the floor. He knew what he was, he knew what had happened, and yet his brain was finding incredible difficulty in digesting the idea or accepting it as a situation he was now facing here in reality rather than imagination.

None of this was helped at all by the massive, pinching fingers of the scientist as she plucked him up from the ground, leaving him to dangle in her grasp as she stood once again. Alan was far from proud of the noise that left him in that moment, but it was the least of his concerns as he tried to stop his head from spinning while being shot several feet into the air, or as he tried to regulate his breathing despite the fact that his whole middle was being crushed by the grip of her digits.

“Fascinating,” she whispered, turning him back and forth to observe the entirety of the tiny man. “- he does appear to at least be completely unharmed.”

“Unharmed???” He found himself barking in response, his offense too great to withhold at all.

“If not a bit distressed by the situation.” She continued, apparently pretending that she hadn’t quite heard him despite his volume. “This will warrant further study.”

“Do we have anything in development that could reverse it?” Asked Johnson, who was now peering over his glasses and leaning closer to the little man to observe him like one might a fine, rare jewel.

“We didn’t have anything in development that was supposed to do this to begin with. I highly doubt anyone is working on an enlargement device at this time.” She hummed casually, as if that wasn’t the most terrifying thing that could have possibly been said in those moments. A whole new level of fear gripped Alan, even tighter than then sharp ends of her fingers, and he could only combat the idea by writhing and grunting and whimpering even more than he already was.

“But Dr. Royce, don’t you think-...”

“He signed the contract, Johnson. It’s all in the fine print, or are you also too lazy to read it? We don’t have to fix anything, we’re not liable for anything, and he is to stay on the premises until the end of the experiment.” She held the doll of a person a little closer to Johnson, wiggling him around in front of the man’s eyes and eliciting a small yelp from the subject. “Does this look like a completed experiment to you?”

Johnson appeared to wilt a slight, only for the fact that he was being talked down to again. “No ma’am, I don’t suppose it does.”

“We’ll need further observation to see what we can glean from this. There could be something salvageable if we’re lucky. Contact the boys in the rat-lab and see if they’ve got any open cages.”

They couldn’t… they didn’t actually mean to…-

“Of course ma’am. Do we need to be discreet?”

“Only until I can find a positive spin to put on this”

Alan’s blood stopped, his eyes widened, and terror manifested as little wet trails of tears skipping down his cheeks.

They had no intention of fixing him, they weren’t even apologetic, they only planned to keep him in a little box like an animal until they could figure out some sort of use or reason or ‘positive spin’ for him. In the course of a single afternoon he’d signed away his life and well-being for the potential of a few extra dollars.

There was no one to blame but himself.

White Noise Analysis for ICIMI birthday!

So scared I didn't have anything prepared for the birthday but I MADE THIS RANT AND KEPT IT IN NOTES BABYYY!!!

I really want to talk more about how brilliant Will is as a lyricist.

At first, White Noise seems like a critique of modern art. It's funny, but also a point that people have been making for years.

Then he hits you with the final lines:

"You fill your mind with thoughts you find you can't even feel.

You try to empty your head but it's full of them:

All of the things that you think and then think about thinking.

I know it's hard,

But they're not who you are;

They're white noise."

Huh? Wasn't this song about modern art and its emptiness? Why are you suddenly talking about overthinking? What is this song really about?

So we listen again and we pick up on some key lines in the first verse/stanza/I forget the term, where Will first describes the white noise:

"Now you're lying face down,

You blend into the background

Of white noise."

We learn a bit about the protagonist- who we didn't realize was there. They 'blend into the background' - they don't feel present, don't have meaningful connections. They don't fit in. They're lonely.

Also, this might be me overthinking, but this part in the second stanza:

"You're not meant to sing along -

It isn't that kind of song."

Is kind of patronizing, especially the way Will says it. As if he's saying "why are you singing? That's stupid. You shouldn't be singing, it's not FOR singing. You're enjoying it wrong."

Makes me think "well, maybe the only reason you're not singing along is  because you don't know how. Maybe you're just afraid."

This is pretty common with overthinkers too - people telling them "stop worrying so much! You're making a big deal out of nothing." People who ignore all the bad things in their life. People who don't really understand the overthinkers, and worse, don't see any need to.

So the protagonist is isolated again, with nothing to connect to except the white noise they can't even understand.

But that doesn't stop them from trying.

"But if you listen closely, I swear,

To God, I swear,

You can hear the ocean if you

Hold it up to your ear, hear/here!"

What is it about me that doesn't fit in? What is it that makes me feel so awkard? Maybe if I examine myself and listen to myself, I can finally find out why I'm so...

The bridge is the protagonist's fall into analyzing their thoughts.

And

The white noise not only represents modern art, but also the thoughts of overthinkers.

Thoughts that we ruminate in over and over again, trying to find some kind of connection in what has very little meaning because it's all we have.

When Will compares overthinking to Modern art, which most understand has little to nothing to offer the world, the listeners understand that they have trapped themselves into an endless journey of finding meaning and support in a faulty structure that could not care less about them.

And the final stanza. Soft. Comforting. Beautiful. Will describes the overthinking process perfectely; thinking about what you're thinking about what you're thinking about until you think things you can't even feel. And despite making fun of us before Will makes it clear that he doesn't blame us with the line "I know it's hard." Rather, that previous stanza was just a way for us to see the flaws in our thought patterns and maybe even laugh at ourselves.

These thoughts aren't us. They aren't proof of something deeply wrong with us. They're just white noise.

And maybe it's not our thoughts, but our rumination that causes this perceived seperation.

It was said once in Doctor Who that anyone can write pain, but it takes a true artist to use that pain to reveal the world's beauty. That's what White Noise -and frankly ALL of ICIMI - does.

Now if only he didn't rhyme science with quiet.

3x3 - YOU WANT A REAL COSTUME, RIGHT?

(spoilers for all three complete seasons will come up at various times as i point out foreshadowing)

about 3k words below the cut (rip to the maulers, ill miss you the most out of the dead cast </3)

why did they make me listen to the line "you can be a good guy, or you can save the world, but not both" like five whole times

ugh and they made me watch eve and mark kiss again too lmfaoooo

this silent film of these two dudes quitting their life of crime to work in a restaurant is giving richie from the bear vibes. he ALSO learns the value in serving his community

OH NO, MARK THEYRE TRYING TO BE GOOD PEOPLE, THEY DONT HAVE A CHOICE, CRIME IS SUBJECTIVE, DONT HURT THEM

no way, the way my dick jumped when i saw this in the omniman colours

uggghhhhh thats a good sign for a good episode

it wasnt even thrown to, it just showed up unannounced, UGGHGHHHH this is gonna be a good ep

when the title screen gets you hyped hahahahaha

wowww and the way this tense ass music swells with olivers arrival

and that guy wont hit oliver back cuz hes just a kid T-T go easy on them mark!!!!!

mark: "you promised not to use your powers without me!" oliver: "yeah, but that rule is stupid, so heres a few stupid excises to match your energy." mark: long drawn out silence

like father like son, like when mark was sassing nolan in 2x4 and nolan had nothing to say in return

ugh and the way debbie and mark are standing over oliver and demanding him to go to his room so they can discuss his crimes, as if him exerting agency over his own body is a crime that needs to be discussed

and he tries to go to his room like they said cuz hes a good boy, but debbie FURTHER berates him for flying in the house, debbie im gonna fucking fight you this season

im so disgusted with the way they treat him, its so hard to watch

debbie: "i just want him to have a normal childhood." WELL GUESS WHAT DEBBIE, HES NOT NORMAL

omg eve is still with the girl i gay shipped her with, theyre talking about the class they took together, theyre cute

and amber approaches them and she sounds like shes so sad shes not being kept in the loop anymore, cuz she didnt know eve would be on campus… why is it like amber has no other friends? shes incredible, she should have friends

omg this is the scene i remember where they talk about mark and then amber starts to talk about herself and the scene abruptly ends HAHAHA they fucking hate amber dude jesus

ambers such a good girl, shes so good natured about eve dating mark, and im glad she mentions that she speaks with will, i like will and amber being friends

amber: "i always wondered if you two would get together after we broke up." amber were you fantasizing about breaking up with mark a lot? i could tell.

amber: "me and marks worlds were too different, but you two share the same one." yeah they sure do, eve just lives on planet mark

and eve just says "it feels comfortable" yeah i bet it does. youre so used to letting your parents treat you Like That, you're more than happy to let mark treat you the same way. eve and mark make each other COMFORTABLE which is why its a bogus relationship, they should be challenging each other to be better, not encouraging each others bad habits

that hard cut to black when amber starts talking about herself OTL help. is that her last ever bit of screen time?

rex has so much dialogue after the cut i dont even care, hes an angel and a devil

and rex takes rae back to his room and its filthy HAHAHAHA get it together rex jesus

oh rae is just a small town girl, used to doing beat work and she never knew shed make it in the big city, and heres this pretty city boy here to dazzle her some more

OMG AND REXS PARENTS SOLD HIM TO CECIL? what the fuck dude, i guess he got his powers after cecils guy did science on his nervous system

but he just says "yeah we all have fucked up childhoods" aint that the truth. its what you make of it that counts babyyy

every time rex is speaking rae is looking at him like this

shes so fond of him, i hope he doesnt break her heart

EVE, REJOIN THE TEAM. DO IT IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YOU.

rex starts teasing eve for wanting to be closer to mark so shes moving back in with her HORRIBLE parents and shes like "i thought you werent an asshole anymore" and he goes "baby steps, eve <3" UGGGHHHH I LOVE REX

im proud of him

titan is so fucking arrogant to think he can just step in to a massive crime syndicate and cut a chunk off and say it belongs to him now

mark pushing oliver to fly faster to keep up with him is sending mixed signals from the way him and debbie were reprimanding oliver for flying before

ugh and it makes me so mad cuz the first thing mark did when he got his powers was start sneaking out at night to fly around and practice however he wanted in between sessions with his dad, so why wont he let oliver do the same?

hahahahaha and oliver introduces himself as KID OMNIMAN and art goes "oh jeez, he told me the o was for oliver" im gonna scream hahahaha oliver is such a manipulative little shit

what a perfect kid nolan made

but even if art thought it was for oliver, he still made the o in exactly the same style as omnimans suit hahahahahaha

mark: "you cant call yourself that… it will remind people of dad." oliver: "i know! itll be great!" me and oliver in a corner stanning omniman alone, none of the people i talk to irl think he can be redeemed

me too sweetheart, we know omniman is a hero

oliver thinking that he can make up for nolans mistakes is so sweet of him, and i dont think mark will ever be able to fully explain to him why it doesnt work like that

like oliver is right to stan omniman, but mark is right that people arent ready to hear it. omniman hasnt redeemed himself in anyones eyes but marks, and oliver trying to preach it without any proof will do more harm than good

mark in his revenge era fit

the look of urgency in this boys eyes

hes like YEAH YEAH I WONT FIGHT LETS JUST GO LETS GO SAVE THE DAYYYYYYYYY

and mark takes one look at those villains and hes like "yeah sure i have time to stand here and lecture oliver some more"

but olivers like "bruh youre wasting time" and rushes in to help, hes so precioussss

oliver getting back up after he got knocked out and being like "you didnt save one for me?" is his first show of truly unhinged behaviour hahahaha he doesnt understand why mark is mad

i mean look at this face, he dont give a fuck about marks attitude lmfaoooo

its nuts bc theyre both right for different reasons so often. oliver is right that mark needs to trust him more, but mark is ALSO right for trying to keep oliver safe, hes just being far too restrictive and giving oliver too many bogus advice for oliver to take his really important advice seriously

debbie teaching paul how to taste wine… i bet she did the same for nolan…

she says that nolan and her did a lot of wine travelling… and paul tells her its the benefits of dating a travel writer… T-T i love debbie and nolan so much

he says its okay for her to not be ready to date again, and i cant tell if debbie IS ready or not. i cant tell if shes just so desperate for a guy to be nice to her and treat her with respect that she thinks it will help her move on. i mean its been two years so maybe shes ready, but the way she treats oliver makes me think shes not.

she springs some serious shit on him so quickly, the guy is like "well its okay if you want to take it slow" and shes like "well actually heres my biggest secret."

and hes like:

its actually kinda nuts that she tells him all that hahaha she doesnt even ask mark or oliver if its okay first, i dont even think they know shes been seeing paul let alone that she was seeing him seriously enough to tell him their secrets

and then she gets done and hes like "…maybe i should go" SHEESH DEBBIE, YOU SCARED THE GUY OFF

omg he actually tried to leave bc he was like "well i cant compete with a super hero" and made debbie tell him why she wanted him to stay HAHA okay

man and cut to eve speaking as reasonably to her parents as possible like "i cant help the fact that i have powers, can we please just try to get along?" and her dad is like "OH so you have POWERS and you think you can give us ULTIMATUMS?" and her mom is just sitting there letting it happen, this family sucks so much, what is WRONG with her parents

well at least she manages to get them to agree to her rock bottom terms, its all she could pry from her fathers rigor mortis fingers

mark is left speechless so often in this ep HAHAHA he flies in on debbie and paul kissing and stops DEAD in his tracks so oliver PLOWS right into him, and after debbie stumbles through introducing paul to them, mark is silent for like five full seconds before being like "we were at a comic book store" LIKE MARK HES NOT EVEN QUESTIONING THE COSTUMES this is nuts, its so awkward, its so bad

oliver doesnt even give a fuck that paul knows, the kid is purple he cant hide it hahahahaha, but MARK? hes HORRIFIED

paul: "dont worry i can keep a secret. i once sold a house to a rock star." mark: "oh yeah? who?" paul: "exactly. ;)" mark: DEAD SILENCE.

hahahahahahaha these mfs testing marks PATIENCE today

and oliver starts laughing at him cuz they call him invinciboy on the news and he DOESNT EVEN RESPOND SDGFHLBJSDGF MARK ARE U OK MAN

oh, well here comes eve and of course he can talk to her. shes the only one, isnt she. thats how season three is.

mark: "and oliver nearly DIED." eve: "OH NO." mark: "i mean hes fine, but." mark are you maybe exaggerating a little? was oliver fine?

mark: "how can i be a son, a brother, a boyfriend, and a super hero all at the same time?" hey mark, those are all the same guy

its crazy that eve gives mark the advice that hes not alone cuz he has so many people to rely on (bc they all rely on him too and its a two way street) bc eve doesnt allow herself to rely on ANYONE except the boy shes obsessed with and the parents who reject her

mark and eve kiss on screen so much ugh. it just makes me roll my eyes every time.

angstrom is spying on mark kissing his girlfriend? okay

OMG ITS THE MAULERS, MY BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

"hey watch it!" "nukes dont go off from impact IDIOT." "they still hurt when they land on your head JACKASS." thats that classic good vibe mauler shit, that one with the melted face was a nightmare scenario

and theyre both just bitching like "finally, took them long enough" when the whack ass leftover guardians show up HAHAHA kick their asses maulers <33

"wheres the rest? we deserve the right to murder the whole team" they are so precious to me, but cold blooded murder isnt their usual game (but i guess until now theyve had their hands tied working for other people, and they DO get held at a super max prison, not the one cecil and multipaul get sent to)

"i want them to know they lost." "sigh, your sentimentality is gonna get us killed one day." I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN WHY THEYRE SO PERFECT, THEY JUST ARE. flawless men.

everyone keeps calling mark a kid right to his face in this ep hahahaha hes getting so pissed off about it

ohhhh oliver please dont murder my favourite maulers T-T but he runs off before debbie can stop him from going

while mark is struggling to stand after they shoot him with their nerve damage ray, and theyre like "aw look at him go. hes tough for a guy with boy in his name. shoot him again." UGHGHHHH

AND HERE COMES OLIVER

ugghghhhh omgggffgfg

hes got those big ol beefy hands wrapped around marks throat… throwing him around like a doll…

and the maulers shoot off some kind of missile and mark flies after it, leaving oliver to…

he hits that guy so fucking hard he distracts the other one by making him go "DAMN THAT KID HIT YOU REALLY HARD" and the first one is just wide eyed and pointing over the other ones shoulder cuz oliver is getting back up

rip king T-T

damn oliver T-T my maulers!!!!!!!!!

hes begging for mercy oliver, you cant kill a guy whos begging for mercy T-T

my kings are dead wwwwaaahahhhhhhhhhhh oliver you murdered my KINGS!!!!!

and the immortal steps in to say "you… child…" and he has no right to be correct about this

omg cecil shows up to talk to oliver and mark SNATCHES THAT BITCH OUT OF THIN AIR

and cecil cant help but trying to dig that old knife back in like "looks like youre training him in the family business" SHUT UPPPP CECIL

thats right mark, show oliver how hes allowed to treat cecil

like garbage to be thrown away

oliver to everyone else: "please forgive me i didnt mean it!!" oliver to mark: "what? i stopped them didnt i?"

and cecil is left slack jawed when they fly away, GOOD, MAYBE HE WILL LEARN TO LEAVE THEM ALONE

nnnooonoooooo my little baby is cryingggg

he was just trying to help, dont yell at himmmmmmm

and oliver grows so fast that hes suddenly such a fast flyer mark cant catch him when he runs away

this conversation is so tough T-T im not even sure what to say about it. theyre both right again for different reasons

and the maulers WERE trying to kill oliver, they would have killed him if he didnt kill them first

oliver: "you act like you know everything, but did you ever stop to think that dad was right?" mark: another long silence, but more stunned than all the other times

ugh im so disgusted by mark and eve actually, i cant stand them together. shes there waiting for him when he gets home, and hes late for their first date, which HE THINKS was the whole reason amber broke up with him, and since eve is perfectly okay with being put on a back burner, mark doesnt ever have to worry again about That One Pesky Flaw that ruined his last relationship.

im gonna throw up

and eve is like "well hes just a kid, he didnt mean to murder them" and mark is like "yeah but he doesnt seem sorry, hes just like my dad" and eve gets all soft eyed and kisses him for being un-like his father, im gonna THROW UP

and eve comforts him that paul is just some random nobody who doesnt matter and that mark doesnt need to worry about him and hes like "haha what would i do without you? :)" dkjfgbsdfg

at LEAST debbie and mark are talking about their feelings instead of keeping them bottled up for once

and they have another talk with oliver about life being precious that doesnt go as disastrously. good for them

but mark is looking BIG SCARY when he catches that spy bot

i saw a post where someone said angstom spied on mark for no reason cuz he doesnt even use any personal information against him in the upcoming fight and im curious to see how true that is as i rewatch

3x2 < [3x3] > 3x4

Kissing Headcanons - George Karizaki

Dedicated to dearest @twokairevolution​ because man, George simps are so fucking VALID 

Warnings: NOt rly nsfw but George is a passionate man so idk it happens sometimes lol

Truth be told, kissing George is a fucking trip. It’s this scientific endeavor thrown out the window that started off as a proper little thing. But who needs science when George needs you. And he needs you now. His kisses end up with his tongue down your damn throat somehow, his hands gripping your form and simply refusing to let you fucking go. He’s going to keep you here, with him, for all of eternity. Trying to escape is futile, since this is where you want to be. 

George is a clingy man, abandonment issues abound and is...sometimes so desperate for even a crumb of affection that it leaks out of him. He’s glancing towards your lips and to your form and wants to take and take and take until he is simply satisfied with all of the affection he never could have gotten in his younger years. He’s greedy during these times and these kisses turn into these...desperate make out sessions. He just wants to drown his senses with you, with nothing but you. 

George is also like a huge fan of cheek kisses~! They’re quick, short, and public! It’s a great show of affection between the two of you to ensure that everyone knows you are taken. These sorts of kisses are very on the go and are just so simply on the go that it’s great for when you two just simply pass each other in the hallway, kiss a cheek, or a lip, then off you two go on your work! These kisses are also a sort of “signal” to George that it’s time to turn off his brain. These are...probs the kisses he craves the most...

George also uses kisses as a way to recharge! Cheek kisses are a way for him to slow down but lip kisses are for him when he needs power to go through the day! He will pout and whine, “Babyyy, will you give me a kiiiiiss?” he would lean back on his chair as he pleadingly stares up up you, making kissy noises and kissy motions with his lips until you fucking cave and give it to him! A simple peck on the lips recharges him for a good hour but if George wants to push it, he’ll whine and pout and come begging you for affection, “Babyyy, I want moreeee.” Longer kisses charge him for two hours, make out sessions charge him up for a whole 3 hours. So uh, kiss him with caution because he will abuse this system to stay up doing work. 

But really, George is honestly just super affectionate with you. He loves you and he refuses to lose you anytime soon. Sometimes he has these kisses that are just....there. Not in a bad way but in a way that encapsulates all of his love and affection he has for you. He’s vocal, he’s hanging on to you like you are his deity and he’s running his hands through your hair and smiling into these kisses because...they bring him home. To a home he never really had until now. And he’s going to fucking protect this until the end.

modern hange zoe dating headcanons

lowercase intended !

hange zoe x gn!reader

- first, their love language is definitely a mix of physical touch and verbal affirmations

- idc idc theyre the best of both worlds 🤩

- you prefer verbal affirmations over physical touch (or vice versa) ? their immediately making a mental note and showing u love with whichever one u like more

- i think they'd be a scientist or researcher ?? maybe they'd study the human body or like global warming ?? idfk but would definitely go into the science field

- also i personally love the idea of moblit and them being together 😳🤚 idk i love the idea

- but since YOU are with miss hange id like to think they stayed friends after the breakup 😌✨ theyre both mature ppl (and hot)

- moblit is always third wheeling w you guys. you and hange could be making out and he'd sit there with his iced coffee like 😐

- hange i feel is a very forgetful person, so like, dates and stuff (things made on a sort of short notice) they tend to forget about, but things like birthdays and anniversaries are NEVER forgotten

- ofc they'll make it up to you after you call them from the restaurant youve been waiting in for over an hour

- but sometimes it does hurt that they value their work so much, you love that they find joy in what they do and are dedicated, but it just feels like they prioritize work over you

- and hange understands ! and they start trying to be on time for things like that. is also constantly reassuring you at random times that they love and care about you

- also loves to spoon you. will literally wrap around you like a koala in bed. doesnt matter if its too hot and youre both immediately sweating, will trap you with their insane amount of strength and never let you go until either they wake up or you wake up begging to use the restroom

- i feel like when theyre working from home (which is everyday in a pandemic 🙄 even tho these headcanons arent really structured around pandemic modern times) they forget to eat/drink when they get reeeaaaallllyyyy into what theyre researching

- could be on the verge of discovering a new genetic mutation (idk) while also being on the verge of passing out due to dehydration

- theyll come out for dinner and be like "yknow ive been having this weird headache all day"

- "probably because you havent drank any water today"

- will stare at you like "🤨" before replying "nah i dont think so 😹"

- you have to threaten letting them starve to get them to drink some water. and as soon as they do theyre chugging three cups

- five minutes later theyre like "babe ! it worked ! youre awesome"

- lots of pet names like babe/baby, my love, my darling (in a dramatic english accent), honey, and any others that youd prefer

- has a weird love for the cartoon archer (yknow that adult show with like 10 seaons ??)

- will literally no nothing about the plot or characters, and will only put the show on for background noise while theyre doing something, but will ALWAYS recommend archer to others and say its their favourite cartoon if asked

- also loves the amazing world of gumball (you got them into it) actually watches the show and loves it, yet never thinks of it when asked "what shows should i watch ?" or "what are some shows you like ?"

- if youre like, an artist or something like that, they genuinely LOVE anything you make

- you made them a little painting ? theyre hanging it up in their apartment. you created a clay vase or something ? buying flowers to put in it rn (doesnt even take care of the flowers but yk)

- if youre having a bad day theyre dropping everything for you (unless its super important then theyre saying "how about i move my work to the bed and we can cuddle ?")

- if you need to rant theyre actively listening while trying to work. will accidentally start typing what youre saying onto their word document. ends up having to delete three whole paragraphs about that bitch at work smh 🙄🤚

- loves taking showers/ baths w you (NEVER in a sexual way though) they genuinely find it fun to wash each other's hair and stuff. if you ask them to wash your back theyre shoving their hands in your armpits and tickling you like,, mf ill fall and take us both down 😐

- definitely an ass/thighs person. doesnt matter how big or small, loves it.

- also a dish collector in their room. their room and office are in the same space, so youll find them with cups and plates on their desk where their research is supposed to be like bae,,, i think youre growing a new kind of mold 😍🦠💥

- talks so passionately abt their work and coworkers to you. theres this new intern at their job and hes the sweetest and brightest kid they know. his names armin and they speak about him SO highly

- also has a really cold nose ?? u love to kiss it bc it makes them shiver bc of the temperature difference

- has weirdly soft hands. youd think theyd be kinda rough bc of all the weird shit they touch for "science" but no. the hands are perfect

- doesnt know how to take care of things around the house (like handy stuff) so they beg levi to come over.

- he reluctantly does bc hes their friend but will nod at you as soon as he walks in and says "i hope hange isnt being too annoying today"

- immediately youll defend them and say zoe hange could never annoy you bc hange is the love of ur life and all he'll do is say "youre lucky then. i envy you."

- you and hange both know hes using his dry humour, but as punishment hange follows him around the place and annoys him even further

- also tries to convince you to get a dog at the weirdest of times ???

- itll be three in the morning and theyll just whisper in your ear "we should get a dog"

- theyre allergic to cats so if you suggest that they say "no ill die if i go near one"

- if youre allergic to dogs theyll say "okay fine a baby then"

- "how will we get one ?"

- "we'll steal it. or go looking through a dumpster"

- what did they say 😳😳⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

- you shut down any ideas of a dog or baby for a long while after that

- loves squeezing your cheeks, and would love if you did it to them too

- will literally just sit in bed squishing them and request you do the same. so you both just sit facing each other criss crossed, squishing each others faces while giggling

- ive made this pretty long already so this is it ! but yes, they love u through and through

a/n

second headcanon babyyy !!! hope u all enjoyed !! my asks r open if u wanna request something !! (also please request something 😭😭😭 )

dancing queen.

was legitimately going to write about how much @jjiminah​ loves me but i’m a selfish baby who doesn’t share.  haha.  just kidding.  ... anyway, god, i love funny, cliche tropes.  don’t even look at me.  just read this instead.  xoxo!

pairing.  jjk x f!reader.  rating.  general?  i think?  tags.  mentions of alcohol, inappropriate staring, a bit of touching, idiocy. downright clown-ass idiocy.  but also, kook is cute as hell and he’s definitely drunk.  wc.  1k.

It’s impossible for him to take his eyes off you.  He’s probably been staring for longer than is strictly speaking necessary, seemingly hypnotized by the sway of your hips and how your hair catches in the light, reflecting the overhead lights back at him.

You’re like a kaleidoscope of colours and he can’t look away - hasn’t been able to since you’d made your Salome-like entrance an hour ago, all long limbs and glossy lips.  

A small - okay, big - part of him muses over what they’d look like wrapped around his—

He shakes his head once, twice, then a third time for good measure.  The thoughts are knocking around in his head far too loudly - louder even than the deep bass that shakes his bones and beats in his ears - and it’s getting hard to focus on anything but how badly he wants to be dancing with you.  He wonders if you feel as good as you look, if you’d let him take the lead.

He wonders and wonders - and then he does, crossing the crowded bar floor in five long strides of his two thousand dollar designer boots.  

“Hi.”  The greeting gets lost somewhere along the way, but he doesn’t mind.  Not when it has you blinking up at him, long lashed and so delicate he’s not sure what to do with himself.  

Up close and personal, you’re more than he could have imagined, covered in a faint dusting of freckles and enveloped in a heady mixture of tonka bean and tiger lily and something incredibly warm.  It reminds him of dessert;  his mouth waters with the thought. 

“Can I help you?”  Your voice is soft - far softer than he’d anticipated.  There’s not an ounce of grit to your words.  They tumble off your tongue, sweet as pie and mellifluous.

It’s only because you’re so close that he can hear you.  

“I’m Jungkook.”  He’d offer his hand but it’s got a mind of its own, already halfway to your face when he realizes what he’s doing.  He doesn’t apologize, though.  Half-furled fingers linger in the space between you.  “You’re insanely pretty.”

He’s watching your face closely - admiring it, really - so he sees, in full high definition, the different emotions his compliment elicits.  

First, confusion, furrowed between your brows and in the subtle way your mouth pulls and rounds, poutier than it should be.  Then surprise, delighted and brilliant.  It spills over every inch, sweeping the uncertainty from your expression like sunshine to shadows, and your laughter is like pealing bells, chimes in the wind on a spring day.  At the curl of your eyes, framed by glitter, there’s sympathy or something close to it.  Mercy, maybe? 

Your hand meets his with gentle pressure, guiding it down to his side.  “You’re drunk.” 

“I’m not that drunk - and you’re still beautiful.”  

He has a point.

Your sigh is indulgent, slipping out in a breath that smells like berries and vodka.  You’ve all but stopped dancing, a picture perfect silhouette against the backdrop of bodies.  “So, how can I help you?”  

“I’d like to take you home.”  He’s not always this honest.  He’s got liquid courage to thank for that.  

“I don’t go home with strangers,”  you state, far kinder than he expects.  

“Isn’t everyone a stranger until you get to know them?”

“But I don’t know you.”

“You know my name.  I’ll tell you anything else you want.”  

His insistence would be off-putting if he weren’t so cute, a little glazed over in the eyes and enticingly broad across the chest. 

“Jungkook was it?”

“That’s right.”

“Let me give you some advice—”  The heat of your palm burns through the thin shirt he’s wearing, the tips of your fingers just barely grazing the exposed skin at his collar.  You admire the way he tenses beneath your touch, straining under the soft cotton.  “You’re cute.”  By the way he nods, almost imperceptibly, you’re sure he already knows.  “But no girl wants to go home with a guy like this.”

That seems like news to him.  His head cocks adorably, swaths of dark hair sweeping over his big doe eyes.  It’s a deceptively soft gesture.  

“Then what do girls want?”  You’re sure he’s asking only for the sake of conversation. 

“They want to be wooed - to feel wanted.” 

“I do want you.” 

“That’s not what I meant.”  It feels like talking to a wall or a very drunk, very cute guy, which was practically the same thing.  “You have to make going home with you better than going home and eating chicken nuggets in bed.”

The grin he offers is blinding - slightly too-big front teeth and the most endearing dimples.  “You can eat chicken nuggets in my bed.”

You can’t keep the charade up.  “You’re really bad at this,”  you deadpan.  

“But babyyy.”  He’s got you all wrapped up the moment you’ve dropped the act, winding his arms tightly around your waist.  He’s so warm, so buzzed, that you can feel it practically radiating off his body.  Just his touch feels like intoxication by osmosis.  

“You would be awful at picking up girls at the bar.”  

“It’s a good thing I don’t need to,”  he hums against your neck, into your hair that feels a little sticky against your bare shoulders.

“Why did we do this then?”  You’re exasperated but still terribly in love with your stupid twenty-four-going-on-eighteen-year-old boyfriend.  

“Listen, it was for science.”  

“Science?”  You echo, disbelieving.  

“Yeah - I hear it spices things up in the bedroom.”  He’s withdrawn just enough to level you with a lewd smirk, single hand dropping from your back to splay comfortably over the swell of your ass.  He squeezes, savouring the lace that rides up and bunches in his palm.  “Thought it’d be fun.”

You laugh then, full of mirth and adoration.  It careens into his chest, your cheek pressed to it as your shoulders shake.  “That only works if you’re actually charming.”

“Whatever.”  Jungkook huffs the most adorable sound, pinching your bare thigh.  “Let’s go home.”

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

Love Interest: mason

Why them?: on a meta level: oh no he’s hot

but alma’s reasoning is that he’s very upfront about what he wants in the beginning and she’s never been pursued in such a way. It’s a bit of a rush and an ego boost for her at first. but mason’s loyalty very quickly becomes the steadiness alma’s been missing for most of her life and she latches on to that. she’s not had someone so dependable around in… well, ever. and her physical attraction becomes emotional VERY quickly.

Bold, shy, or mixed?: shy until they sleep together, then a mix of bold and genuine afterward.

What were their first impressions of each other?:

alma on mason: thought he was super attractive but that was quickly pushed aside by “holy shit, this guy’s an ass.” she thinks he’s an uncooperative jerk that only cares about himself for quite a while, honestly. she asks him along for things she wants to do alone precisely because she thinks he’ll be the most likely to just stay out of her way. she’s surprised by his attitudes and opinions, and her incorrect assumptions about them, during those times.

mason on alma: would never, ever, ever admit that his first thought upon meeting Alma was simply “cute.” he quickly found parts of her to assess individually. those first few days were mostly spent appraising her physical attributes and watching her back when she needed it. mason did find her funny right away, but he wasn’t willing to trust someone new, regardless of that person being their handler’s daughter or not.

What do they find attractive about each other, mentally or physically?:

alma on mason: his eyes, freckles, and every single version of his smile. his decisiveness, differentially, and willingness to stab as a warning.

mason on alma: her hair tbh, there’s just… a lot of it. her hips, her eyelashes. He also likes her adaptability, sense of humor, and the warmth she gives with no expectation of reciprocation.

What do they do to spend time together?: lots of stargazing, lots of watching tv very quietly and making fun of the storylines they don’t understand until they get bored and make out instead, walking around the quieter parts of wayhaven or taking late-night drives.

What is their favorite memory together?: i like to think mason finds the carnival photo of them after the place has been sacked and gives it to alma sometime later. both the taking of the photo and the giving of it are very fond memories for both of them.

What are their love languages?: touch, quality time.

How do they handle being apart from one another?: badly. mason absolutely hates it after a time. if alma’s out of town, he’s in her apartment with the excuse of feeding her cat, but it’s 100% just to sleep in her bed and be around all the things that make her, her. alma does a little better. she’s used to having folks sort of come and go and come again, but she gets almost hyper-insecure?? it’s nothing she’d admit openly, but she’s second-guessing herself in totally unrelated aspects of her life until they’re reunited.

Do they argue? How do they handle arguments and disagreements? How do they make up?: they don’t necessarily argue, but they disagree with the intent to problem solve. alma is pretty flexible and as long as she can understand why someone might feel the way they feel, she’s willing to hear them out or go along with their plan. if an argument does get out of hand, they need space from it for a while. they each have places to retreat for those times, and they wait for the “hey” text to come through to know it’s time to talk about it.

What does their future look like?: alma becomes a vampire two years into their relationship. they move into a quiet, old house on the edge of town until the whole team moves elsewhere. mason has to get used to having a cat because october has several years left in him. they don’t get married, but they’re inseparable.

Anything else you’d like to share: in the time before alma turns, mason learns to perfect making grilled cheese because it’s what alma craves when she’s not feeling well. He makes the grilled cheese then he immediately showers to get the smell off him but he makes it regardless.

BEST FRIEND RELATIONSHIP

Best friend: depending on the playthrough it swaps between felix and nate, but felix feels more in character

Why them?: alma loves felix’s sense of adventure and nosiness. Most of all she loves that he won’t judge her for pulling the same shit every now and then.

What were their first impressions of each other?: alma was super thrown off by that hand kiss. “who the fuck is this mischief-maker?” while nate was very kind and warm, felix (surprisingly) was the UB teammate that really humanized the rest of the team for alma. he’s fun and genuine and wants everyone else to be happy together. felix was incredibly interested to learn more about alma, as a human, as his boss’s daughter, and then as a friend when she readily accepted the supernatural and, by extension, him as a vampire. The fact that she’s easily flustered or surprised really works in his favor because he lives for being the most shocking person in the room.

What do they do to spend time together?: they share music, they dance, and they text A LOT. lots of memes, lots of “what does [x] mean?” “oh nice” “[proceeds to use the thing they just learned incorrectly]”. they also compare and share hair products.

Anything else you’d like to share: they each have a tamagotchi named after the other (baby felix and baby alma) and they compete to see who can keep theirs alive the longest. everyone loses.

OTHER RELATIONSHIPS (Feel free to go in-depth!)

Relationship with Rebecca: oof okay. alma seeks rebecca’s approval and depends on her for a sense of safety and “stability.” in some ways, she wants to be exactly like her mom: strong, independent, unbothered, worldly. but a lot of that shatters the longer alma works professionally with rebecca and with the revelations surrounding rook. alma sees how much rebecca uses her as a crutch, projects her perceived failures onto alma’s life, and over-shelters her.

Relationship with Rook: alma doesn’t remember him and tries not to think of him often or fondly or at all BUT she has so many of his things. his flannels, his detective badge, his ancient comic book collection (which is the only reason she has her own). she has his eyes and his impulsive streak, his care for people of all varieties. she IS rook’s daughter and she ignores that fact so it doesn’t hurt her.

Relationship with Bobby: they used to be very close, slightly flirty friends but there’s no way in hell alma can trust him now. (i originally had bobby as alma’s ex but it was all getting a little too Bella Swan for me. like bobby, douglas, the werewolves, falk, and mason like????? it was a bit much so bobby’s just an old ex-friend)

Relationship with Verda: alma fucking loves verda. that’s her mentor, that’s her dad friend. she feels a sense of Pride and Accomplishment when she can make verda laugh or impress him in the lab, or both. alma’s fond of spending evenings over his place with eric and the kids, making dinner, or just hanging out.

Relationship with Tina: tina was alma’s first friend as a kid. they lost touch in high school because tina was bubbly and cute and popular, while alma was… not. but the summer before they left for college they ran into each other at a house party and since that reconnection, they’ve been thick as thieves. it was like nothing had changed. tina is a light in alma’s life, and alma lets tina lean into the stranger parts of herself without judgment.

Relationship with the Mayor: thinks he’s a creep and a bad parent.

Relationship with Capt. Sung: appreciates how he prioritizes the town and its people, but thinks he could loosen up a bit.

Relationship with Haley: haley is a couple of years older than alma but they’ve known each other forever. alma admires haley’s work ethic and cheery attitude.

Relationship with Elidor: oh man, alma is absolutely stunned by elidor. he’s beautiful, kind, and knowledgeable. in those early days, elidor is responsible for quite a bit of her supernatural education. alma grills him while he nurses her back to health. her curiosity is refreshing to him.

Relationship with Tapeesa/Vieno: alma thinks vieno is cute and funny, says hi when she sees them around, but they’re not best friends or anything. she can’t shake the thought that they’re basically a fae version of danny devito.

Relationship with Unit Alpha: absolutely smitten with lesedi. she’s never seen a more beautiful woman. tamiko ends up being a pretty good friend. the twins are on her social periphery but alma’s not close with them.

Relationship with the Maa-alused: alma sincerely wants to help them adjust to life in this world and takes that goal very seriously. at the same time she really really wishes falk hadn’t developed this weird attachment to her.

Do they have any other important relationships, past or present? (Relatives, friends, etc.?): YES. i’ve thrown another oc in wayhaven for the express purpose of being The Detective. His name is javi. alma met him in college and they were fast friends. alma convinced him to try out wayhaven after graduation. They lived together for a while and now they, along with tina, can often be seen in the corner booth of chen’s pub.

she was also very close with her maternal grandmother before she died. she was raised by her while rebecca was absent, but i need to develop this more.

her cat, october, whom she’s had for five years. he’s a sweet, mostly black tortie that can hardly meow. alma adopted him as an adult when she got her own place.

PERSONAL BIO

Describe their personality: alma is so open and ready to accept new possibilities. she’s the sort of person that embraces what scares her, finds beauty in it, and loves it intensely. she’s sharp and resourceful. i wouldn’t exactly describe her as hard-working, but she’s knowledgeable about her field and tries to be helpful when she has a goal in mind.

she’s quite tactile. touchy with other people. likes to use her hands for work or hobbies. she doesn’t really mind being alone for long stretches of time but would prefer not to be. she wants others to want to be around her.

she’s also terrible at being honest about her trauma. everything is fine, she’s fine, she doesn’t need to talk about this :) :) :) she will handle the breakdown when it happens and not one second before. also, with quick wit comes uncontrollable sarcasm and it does not always hit well.

Strengths: the only person in unit bravo that knows how to use google

Weaknesses: squishy

Where in the world is their Wayhaven?: super torn here because wayhaven feels inland to me, but i think i’ve finally settled on the north carolina coast but not like the outer banks area. If not there, then maybe virginia, closer to the chesapeake bay.

What is their personal history?: alma is born to rook and rebecca in wayhaven. spends her childhood being raised mostly by her grandmother, idolizes rebecca. academic success comes easily for her; a heavy interest in science leads to a scholarship at a university just far away enough to feel like she’s Leaving The Nest. alma dates a bit in college but she’s the type to end up becoming friends with everyone she sleeps with and romance is difficult for her to cultivate. when she does date, the relationships are short-lived. she returns to wayhaven after school and puts her degree to work in wayhaven’s police department. she wishes she’d applied for a position in the city but craves the comfort (and tbh, the low stakes) of home.

If they weren’t a detective, what would their dream job be?: she’s a forensic analyst and honestly?? it’s a pretty dreamy job for her. she loves being a scientist, loves helping people, and isn’t easily grossed out.

Anything else you’d like to share: has tried to stay overnight in an ikea. did not succeed.

Vax calling Trinket “my nephew”... the Trinket love this episode is unreal, 10/10

Taliesin saying like actual science things.... wtf.... don’t like that....

Also I can’t believe not one fucking person has had the thought “maybe we shouldn’t be trying to press the button in the middle of the room that’s obviously a trap”

“In the absence of good ideas, bad ideas are, I think, always reasonable.” God that explains so so so much of Percy’s character, always shdhdhe

Okay like.... I know that they haven’t found out about Vax being Fate-Touched and stuff yet... but if the Briarwoods were going to sacrifice him to wake up Vecna or whatever..... God, I just really want to see Matt’s notes for this

“I’m on top of a thing. Everyone’s very attractive up here.” Vax you are so stupid and so bi and you deserve to get fuckin sacrificed

“Roses are red, violets are blue, we’re both gnomes, and you are soooo foxy.” Jfc

“The darkness demands your soul Silas.” PERCYYY

Poor charmed Vax is just like “why my sister shoot me :(“

Omg Delilah Briarwood coming face-to-face with Trinket who looks like a really obese Percy walking around on all fours..... bet she’s sorry she murdered his family now huh

Vax using himself as a human shield for Delilah is.... weirdly appropriate

God Silas Briarwood was already a foxy vampire and now he has a fuckin life-stealing sword??? Why are Matt’s NPCs all proficient in being as sexy as possible????

Flying Vex SLAPS yo

VAMPIRES ARE SEXY!!!!!

“Did you say you SOLD your SOUL to a HAG?” “LET’S DEAL WITH ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME.” Percy n Vax soulless buddies and Vex is gonna kick both their asses

The Flash S5 Ep4 Thoughts

- There’s always one person who documents the superhero’s as they fight the bad guy lol

- So we know that Iris can’t cook… what kind of pancakes were those 😭😭😭

- In my mind I should have realized the pancakes were supposed to be lightning bolts but all I thought at first were awful music notes...

- I normally hate when people document what they’re eating but Nora’s reasoning is hilarious so she gets a pass lol

- BARRY DOING THE DAD THING AND MAKING IRIS FEEL GOOD ABOUT HER AWFUL PANCAKES. That’s sweet, but you should probably save everyone in the future and tell her that she should take cooking lessons 😬😬😬

- Oof Barry got Nora a phone without consulting Iris… wait… softball…? Barry still trying to be the supportive husband and Iris just being like “no… no it’s awful I’m just going to make you a banana.” low-key that was c*te

- So Sherloque gets mad at Caitlin for her input even though it was a great idea but not two seconds later doesn’t care that Iris jumps in? Okay,,,,,,,,,,,,,

- Ralph bringing in the most obvious question of WHY Cicada wears the mask… ugh we love

- It’s interesting to see the show have this softball thing but it’s sooooo out of place and feels… weird. However Iris in that blue CCPD hat? Yes. It’s so cute fdjsafhjksafhj Also saying that Barry is a superhero who can do a lot of awesome things and saving the world but at the same time can’t play softball? Humbling and really good!!

- NORA SHADING HER MOTHER’S WEBSITE WE LOVE TO SEE IT LMAO AND THE FACES CAITLIN AND CECILE GIVE ONE ANOTHER? GOLD.

- Nora to the rescue even though she’s probably being controlled as some way for that one blogger she saved to make a name for herself on! Poor Jonesy (sp?) though…

- Nora’s “okay” was so sad and cute omg :( AW HER “THANKS, MOM” WAS. SO CUTE TOO OMGGGGG

- So they give up instead of using the list they created?? All you had to do was ask “hey so how many of your workers are men, have daughters, probably had something happen to them,” etc.??? like… really…

- NORA FLIRTING IS THE CUTEST THING. But also how did it not register that she was a meta smh

- “I would never lie to you.” Iris, you have no clue how you are in the future. OH SO SHE SHOWS THE POWER DAMPENING CHIP RIGHT NOW??? Damn… that scene was so intense. Like, Iris would never need to use a power dampening chip like??? What was the reason??

- Iris… trying to force Nora… to accept her calls… on the quantum computer… used for… science… So when is the realization that she’s an awful mom/person going to set in?? Probably never because Iris is catered to and put on a pedestal like Betty Cooper on Riverdale. Still hate to see it.

- I don’t get how Iris can’t see that she typically is not a good human being… like she’s manipulative and controlling and she’s asking how she could do that to her daughter??? I mean this could have been a great plot to make her a better, more liked character (and as a plus taking a break from Barry that’ll end in divorce because they are S T E P S I B L I N G S) and increasing the quality of the show but I watch Riverdale and if it hasn’t happened to Betty, it won’t happen to Iris.

- “I know that anything you do for our family, it’s out of love.” Yes, Barry, but sometimes that idea can become warped so the person inflicting that will THINK it’s what needs to happen because they love them but it’s NOT. There’s no excuse for it.

- I just thought about it but couldn’t Ralph and Sherloque bring that meta-watch thing to the factory to see who was a meta? Boom, they’d catch Cicada…….

- Caitlin Snow is the baddest bitch with a great right hook we stan. Honestly can she punch ME?

- Oh no when they stop the meta who’s name I don’t care to remember is stopped Nora’s gonna feel so bad for trying to kill her dad 🥺🥺 nooo babyyy

- Of course Iris is going to save the day… makes total sense….. OH YEAH I FORGOT NORA KNOWS HOW TO REWINE TIME

- SHERLOQUE GIVING CREDIT TO RALPH AWWWW WE LOVE A SMALL GLOW UP!!!!

- Meta-human tech… interesting.

- They better not spin the craziest bullshit to make it okay for Iris to take away Nora’s powers.

- Nora crying 😭😭😭 Again, this would be the PERFECT time to have Iris take like a couple of steps back and re-evaluate her life and how she is as a person and change for the better but I just know I won’t get that smh

- NOT HER PARENTS, WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT THEIR DAUGHTER HAS GONE THROUGH, TELLING HER THAT SHE’S WRONG….. this is why you don’t have children with your (step) sibling, nor marry them.

- I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to GENUINELY punch the fuck out of Barry until right now.

- “Then I guess I need to rethink what the meaning of family is.” YESSSSSS JOIN CAITLIN’S FAMILY. Also knowing that eventually Nora forgives Iris… this potential for something so good is wasted but this is CW so I’m not really surprised. 

- NORA GOES TO CECILE 🥺🥺🥺 UGHHH JOE AND NORA’S SMALL TLAK FSDHIOFHSDAKHFH

- Is this guy Cicada I can’t tell lol

*blargh*

Lately I’ve been purging all of my vld stuff out, which means a bit of archiving (not a lot because back when i was in the fandom i basically looked at what other people made and didn’t make much of my own) and changing usernames and profile pictures, just to completely wipe vld away. I got all the vld funkos for christmas last year or something, but by now I’ve put them away.

I almost feel bad about doing some of it, because I spent either time or money on voltron-related things (not clothes though, because I was fearing when I would inevitably lose interest and still feel like I had to wear something I didn’t like. Which was still a concern for me when I got a bunch of mha shirts, but I guess I didn’t care as much? Idk) but I don’t think that’s completely justified. I mean, people are allowed to lose interest in things. I’ll admit-- I’m still pretty mad about the way it ended, and I have just a bit to say about it, but at this point I just don’t think about it. 

The more difficult thing to put away are the various posters I got relating to vld. They’re not very big, but some of them are framed. I intentionally framed the first one I got, because I liked it so much, but the next three I got, my mom kinda pressured me into framing them, even though they weren’t nearly as significant to me. Added with the fact that we move a lot, I thought it was extra hassle, but flash to present day, they’re framed. I mean, where can I put those? Probably in my closet, honestly. 

This kind of thing makes me worry a little bit about how I’m going to react to fading out of interests in the future, as I inevitably will. What the ever-loving hecc will I do with all my mha stuff? It’s also not that much, just a few funkos (like 5), three shirts, not a lot. Or what about my spop stuff? I also don’t really have a lot of that stuff, just two very small posters and a few stickers, but usually when I move away from things, I don’t really want to be reminded of it. It’s not really because I feel like it’s cringey or anything, it’s more of “I was into that, but now I’m not”, and so when stuff from vld pops up, I feel awkward, like running into someone that you used to know. Except with vld it’s more like running into someone that I last screamed my head off at while basically having an emotional breakdown because they fucking killed Allura for no goddamned reason she could’ve stayed alive you pieces of garbage-- but I digress.

I think this is coming to mind because the last season of She-ra is scheduled for May 15, last I checked. And after spending the majority of yesterday and today re-watching the previous seasons, I’m actively thinking about all the crazy things that have happened, and how the mighty fuck this last season is gonna go. I’m not sure that I’m gonna leave spop the way I did vld, because I’ve been with spop since the beginning (which I still think is wild like that never happens I’m usually so late to things like that), and unlike vld, there are actually some ships within the community that I actually do ship, rather than just being complacent with what was being chucked at me. (i used to think i shipped klance but since then i have come to the conclusion that i never really shipped anyone in vld except maybe lotor and allura when lotor was a good guy. and that one was a solid maybe sometimes.)

I also watch Dragon Prince, which is pretty cool. With tdp, there is a canon ship: rayllum, but I’ll be honest that I’ve never really shipped that. To me, Rayla and Callum seem like two awkward bumblebees that bump into each other and just pretend it didn’t happen. I mean, I guess for the people that ship rayllum, it’s great, but I’m generally indifferent. I don’t have any ships for tdp, though, in case anyone was wondering. 

Sometimes though I am hesitant to mention my ships, especially because people are notorious for spring-loading their ships onto others and bashing other ships, which to me just seems exhausting. Maybe it’s because being angry in general is just really tiring for me, I dunno. 

Hearing about all the batshit things that people did in the name of ships in the vld fanbase astounded me in how ridiculous (and occasionally selfish) they were. I’ve never felt like a pairing between two fictional people would mean anywhere near the extent it seems to for some people, but I guess that’s just me actively making attempts to keep myself from romanticizing things about some characters that really probably shouldn’t be romanticized. For example, the ship between Hordak and Entrapta in spop:

Hordak is a big nasty meanie who has validation and anger issues, is the living definition of rage quitting, and generally seems to be a very toxic person to be around. The dude’s got issues. He doesn’t seem to be in any particular rush to address them, much less work on adjusting himself into being less of a toxic person. 

Entrapta is much better than Hordak in a lot of obvious ways, such as not having anger issues or any of that. But, due to the fact that it seems like she wasn’t raised by people, or at the very least wasn’t around people for a while before Adora, Glimmer and Bow tried to recruit her into the rebellion, she has some people issues. I think she said at one point that she tried to hang out with the princesses before, but it was made clear that in a group of people who fit in by their inability to fit in, she didn’t fit in. She was too eccentric for them.

So she doesn’t really know how to socialize, and due to that whole thing where the rebellion accidentally left her, she has madddd trust issues with people. She just decides to stick with robots, because she knows how they work and why they do the things they do. She’s also kinda morally grey, at times. I feel kinda like her general neutrality is somewhere along the lines of Double Trouble as far as who’s side she’s on. She mainly stayed with the Horde because 1) more tech, 2) Catra convinced her and 3) lab partnersss babyyy

(I guess I have more to say about Entrapta than Hordak but whatever) 

In general, I think it’s obvious that Hordak has more pressing issues to wrangle, but they both aren’t really great. And it might not be a great relationship. And while I’m seeing all these hilarious memes and fantastic art, I am always trying to keep in mind that hey-- Hordak’s still a big meanie stupid dumb buttface that needs to get his act together if he still wants to even share a lab with Entrapta. (Which as far as I’m concerned is kinda all she wants, which is perfectly fine with me. Go off and do science girly. I have zero qualms.) 

But then y’know I re-watch s3 and s4 and I’m like “Unghh shit. I feel weird about shipping this”, but here I am. The main stuff that gets me is like that one scene after Entrapta basically gave Hordak his new fancy exoskeleton thing and he was all “uh welll hnngh hmm it’s uh very uhh structurally hrrmm sound um uh you’re uh umm very good at uhh this” and Imp screamed at him. That was great.

Complete sidenote-- what accent is Hordak supposed to have I’m honestly confused like sometimes he says stuff like “territory” like “terri-tree” which is like huh okay he’s busting out some British accent or something idk but other times he says things in an American accent but like poshly and it’s weird I’m having a hard time I just get so distracted by the weirdest things. 

Like no one else has an accent. Is it because everyone else is from Etheria, meanwhile he isn’t? Probably. But still. I’m confused. Anyway.

Actually there isn’t really anything else. This thing’s long enough. Plus I unveiled some of my ships, which is basically like posting your social security number and your bank account information. Nasty stuff.

Okay for real for serious here! A lot of people can be competitive and successful on their own and find it easy to set goals and follow through with them, but some of us fumble with it all. and sometimes it all just kind of pools out our hands like sand. Its hard, it lights a righteous flame of anger in my chest when i want so so bad to do well.

If my way of motivating myself has to be by wanting to be like a videogame character, i sure as hell will take it! Im riding this wave ALL the way down babyyy. I may not be a math or science genius, but this guy is, and i wanna do it too! Instead of intimidating myself with having to Just Learn Math, I lure myself in by going “oooo look! Look viddygame man did it!” And suddenly im enrolled in a sci/math/tech course??? And im learning! Suddenly instead of wrestling with the real life fear of having to be good at something, im working towards the fun and enticing goal of being “cool” like said character!

Hmmmmmm I wanna sign up for the MOSTEC programm ,. Fiction DOES effect reality
