Eliza: Stop doing that.
Alexander: Stop doing what?
Eliza: Saying things that make me wanna kiss the hell out of you.
Eliza: Can you name a single city in Oklahoma?
Alexander: Oklahoma City, bitch!
('Tis a joke. Ham would never swear at his lovely wife)
Alexander: Where did you get that tomato soup?
Eliza: It’s actually a bowl of ketchup I just microwaved.
(When Eliza's too tired to put effort into cooking actual food)
Alexander: So you like cats?
Eliza: Yeah.
Alexander: Tries to impress her by slowly pushing a glass off the table.
Alexander: You got a date yet Eliza?
Eliza: No.
Alexander: Well you do now! Get your ass up and hold my hand!
Eliza: You’d be stupid to lay a hand on me.
Alexander: Oh, you’d be surprised how much stupid shit I do.
(She's mad at him because he swore in front of baby Philip and Angie)
Alexander: Thought I was meowing back at my cat for the past hour, but it was just me and Eliza meowing at each other from different rooms in the house.
(I don't know if they would actually do this, but I like to believe they would <3)
Alexander: Snow got me feeling some type of way.
Eliza: That's hypothermia.
Alexander: Damn, the paramedics told me it was the magic of Christmas.
(Eliza is very much concerned and trying to get him to go inside and sit in front of the fire)
Eliza: The first time I saw you, you stole my heart.
Alexander: But I'm a kleptomaniac, so that doesn't mean anything.
(Oh, it means everything <3)
Eliza: Let’s watch Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
Alexander: Okay.
Eliza: And make out during the scary parts.
Alexander: Th-
Alexander: The scary parts.
Alexander: Of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
(Yes, Alexander. She didn't stutter. The scary parts. Of Sharkboy and Lavagirl)
Alexander: I’m so tired.
Eliza: Did you get to bed late?
Alexander: No.
Eliza: Did you do something strenuous?
Alexander: No.
Eliza: Then why are you tired?
Alexander: I’m alive.
Eliza: Sounds exhausting.
(Eliza is right. Being alive is super exhausting 😔)
Alexander: Can I have 2 straws with that milkshake?
Eliza: Aww-
Alexander: With 2 straws, I can drink it double as fast!
(No, because he would definitely do this. You can't prove otherwise)
Alexander: I don't know how to tell you this, but... I love you.
Eliza: That's great, Alexander. Especially considering the fact we've been married for 10 years and have 4 children.
(Ham just got back from drinking with his friends. He's drunk 😁)
Alexander, trying to flirt: So, you come around here often?
Eliza, confused: I mean, this is our house, so yeah.
Eliza: Alex, could we go shopping? All the snacks are gone.
Alexander: I AM LITERALLY RIGHT HERE?!
Alexander comes home absolutely drunk, undresses, and stands in Eliza’s bedroom.
Eliza: Babe, are you.. coming to bed?
Alexander: No thank you, I’m sure you’re lovely but I have a girlfriend.
Alexander: Lies on the ground and falls asleep.
Eliza: ...
Eliza: We're literally married, though???
(Again, Ham is drunk 😁👍)
Eliza: Do you want to explain the text you sent me last night?
Alexander: It was autocorrect.
Eliza: Autocorrect wrote "You're so hot. Please step on me"?
Alexander: Yes.
(Yeah, that happens sometimes. Totally 👍)
Eliza: Alexander, can I speak to you for a minute? In private.
Alexander: Ooh, someone's in trouble. It's me. I don't know why I did that.
(Again, Ham swore in front of the kids)
Eliza: I want to wake up with you every day for the rest of our lives.
Alexander: I wake up at 4:30 AM every day.
Eliza: I want to see you at some point every day for the rest of our lives.
(And that's on those rare occasions that he actually does sleep)
Eliza: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake.
Alexander: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear.
Eliza: ...
Eliza: You mean ring bearER, right?
Alexander: ...
Eliza: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding.
(He totally is. As he should 😌✨)
Eliza: And have you learnt anything this Christmas, Alexander?
Alexander: …Not really.
Eliza: Nothing?
Alexander: Tell you one thing I have learnt—Christmas; ultimately, commercial holiday. Who's the real winner at Christmas? Amazon. they have drones now! Tiny little dystopian slaves delivering iPads and headphones. I ordered a toaster; It was on the doorstep five hours later! Do we need that? It was 4.99! For a toaster! I mean, someone's being exploited there.
(And that, kids, is the true meaning of Christmas. Exploiting people into buying stuff that they don't really need under the guise of it being worth it. That also fits for Black Friday, actually-)
Alexander: Alright, so the vampire's gravestone is—
Eliza: Cenotaph.
Alexander: What?
Eliza: It's only a gravestone if it marks the location of a body. A monument honouring someone whose body isn't present is a cenotaph.
Alexander: I'm... not sure that's how it works if the body gets up and walks away on its own.
Eliza: There's a precedent for gravestones being reclassified as cenotaphs if the body is later removed and reinterred elsewhere. There's no rule that says the body itself can't do the removing.
Alexander: Okay, but the body is very much coming back. That's kind of what we're here to accomplish.
Eliza: So it's a temporary cenotaph.
Alexander: And naturally our greatest concern here is avoiding semantic ambiguity.
Eliza: Semantic ambiguity is how vampires get you.
(I just thought this one was silly. I liked it)
Alexander: My future partner must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful and organized.
Eliza: Steps on a caterpillar and proceeds to drop to her knees and sob while apologizing profusely.
Alexander: That one. I want that one.
Eliza: I still have no idea how I’m attracted to you...
Alexander: Yeah, well, you’re stuck with me, and no take backs, honey.

Hot Kettle

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Snow flurries fell on the campus of Tokyo Jujutsu High and the ground had frozen into crystals.
You had only been working as a professor here for four months and it was your first winter here. 
Principal Yaga had sent out an email saying that classes were canceled. Of course the students rejoiced, but for faculty members snow days meant faculty meetings. 
You made your way to the designated meeting spot now, your snow boots clicking along the ice as you made your way into the building. 
Upon arrival, you found the room empty. Strange. Surely this had been the designated meeting room as stated in Principle Yaga’s email. 
Perhaps you were early? You had a tendency to arrive notoriously early for meetings and events. No matter, it gave you enough time to pop into the lounge room and heat up your ramen as a substitute for the breakfast you had skipped in order to arrive on time. 
You made your way into the lounge room that was only two doors over. It was also empty, but that was expected given the ghostlike fashion of the building besides your presence. You placed your tote bag down on the table and took out your heatable ramen. Fortunately you had packed a plastic fork. 
That meant the only thing you needed was water. The kettle was out already, strange but there was nothing suspicious about this given that and the toaster were often left out after use and not put away into their assigned cabinets. 
You went to grab it and as you did let out a blood curdling shriek as the white hot pain in your palm and fingers signified it had recently been used. 
“Are you okay?” 
“Oh my god we’re sorry Professor!”
“What do you mean we? I told you to put it away!” 
As your eyes opened, having winced them from the pain, your eyes focused to find three of the students: Megumi fushiguro, Yuiji Itadori, and Nobara Kugisaki.
They were all staring at you with concern and from the mugs they were holding in their hands and their words you pieced together that they were the culprits.
You didn’t have a chance to respond however as footsteps came running over and to add more insult to injury, your fellow faculty members were peering in: Principale Yaga, Mei-Mei, Kento Nanami, and of course dreadfully… Satoru Gojo. 
You felt his eyes watching you underneath his blind fold.
“What happened?” He asked, his voice sounded unusually harsh.
“We wanted to make hot chocolate and we were in a rush because afterwards we were gonna have a snowball fight using our techniques. I guess we didn’t put the kettle away properly and the Professor here got burnt,” Yuji explained for the group. 
His explanation did nothing to dissuade Gojo however.
“And how many times have we told everyone to put the kettle away properly so that this doesn’t happen?” 
By this point, all eyes were on Gojo. He was sounding so stern and angry, nothing like himself. He was usually the most carefree of the adults. 
“Gojo, it’s okay. They didn’t mean to, I should have been more careful,” you said. 
“No it’s not okay,” Gojo said, going up to you now, his thumb wiping away a tear you hadn’t even realized had been shed from the pain. 
Now your face was flushing and you were glad that the onlookers would just take it as embarrassment from the situation not knowing that there was more at play here, that there was history between you and the blind folded man which added to your embarrassment.
“That’s enough. Gojo, would you escort her to Shoko please? She should still be in her office since she hadn’t met with us yet for the meeting,” Principal Yaga said. 
“Can Nanami escort me instead please?” you asked.
You didn’t want to be alone with Gojo, it would only make things more awkward, no right now you needed to be with anyone but him. 
“That’s fine with me, I’ll go with you,” Nanami said, ever the gentleman. 
You gave an apologetic smile to the students as you followed Nanami.
“Oh and Nanami? Relay to Shoko that the meeting is canceled. I’m sure given the morning’s events and the weather that’s the last night anyone wants to do,” Principal Yaga said. 
You felt several eyes watching you as you followed your tan suited escort, but only one pair of those eyes mattered, pairs that you had actively been trying to avoid. 
The thing you enjoyed about Kento Nanami was that he didn’t pry, meaning he wasn’t one to ask invasive questions. 
While others may have asked about Gojo and why he had reacted the way he had, Nanami had only assured you he’d get you there safely and that Shoko has healed far worse. 
He had a calm presence and demeanor, the type that set you completely at ease. That is why though you had only been here a short while he was your favorite coworker.
“I’m sorry. I’m sure this isn’t how you wanted to spend your morning,” you felt the need to apologize to him all the same. 
“It’s no matter. I’m sure you didn’t want to be burnt this morning, but life is full of things we can’t anticipate,” he replied kindly. 
You followed him to a part of the school you hadn’t been before. Luckily you've had the fortune of not having to visit Shoko for healing purposes until now. In a way it was embarrassing as you were sure Nanami had been here for much for dire wounds, battle wounds really from his missions since he was a grade 1 sorcerer. But Nanami didn’t judge, he wasn’t the type to goad or say hurtful things. 
After what felt like forever due to the burning sensation in your hand, you two at last arrived in a wing of the school that seemed more like a hospital with its medical items laid out and its fluorescent light. A figure with long brown hair was slumped in a swivel chair in front of a computer.
“Shoko?” Nanami asked, shaking her shoulder slightly so she’d wake up.
Her eyes fluttered open and as if she could sense it she seemed to know there was a problem.
“What is it? Who needs to be healed?” She asked, but she answered her question upon looking at your tear stained face. 
She stood up and took your hand. Her gaze shifted between you and Nanami, clearly questioning.
“The kids left the hot kettle out and she got burnt,” he explained.
“Ahh,” she said in understanding. 
Your face flushed even more. It was so embarrassing. But Shoko was focused on healing you now and her mind had gone into the place only she and few others knew.
You watched as she worked her magic. You had heard others speak about it in awe but having never witnessed it yourself, it was amazing to see. Your palm and fingers once jaded red were now returned to their baby soft pink, they seemed even more soft than before as if you had just been reborn. Most importantly, there was no pain. Matter of fact if it wasn’t for your current location and Nanami at your side, you would have almost thought you dreamt the whole thing.
“Better?” Shoko asked, her eyes were dim and jaded and you remembered thinking how she always looked sad. 
It had always been strange to you how someone with an ability capable of performing miracles could be so sad but you chalked it up to the fact that healing wounds lost its charm when it was those close to you on the brink of life and death.
“Thank you,” you said as she slumped back into her previous position.
Nanami filled her in on the meeting’s cancellation as she took out a cigarette and lit it. 
Tumblr media
The first time you had met Satoru Gojo was in one of the faculty meetings that he had hosted at his place. It was your first faculty meeting in fact, and it had been hosted on your third week at the job.
By then you had met all the others, besides him. 
You had been filled in on the details about him from students to faculty alike and had gathered a mosaic of him from their words: the strongest, childish, intelligent, 
Those were all adjectives that had been used to describe him.
However, nothing had prepared you for when he had asked for you to stay behind once the meeting had been dismissed and everyone else had left.
“You’re new. We haven’t been properly introduced,” he said to you then outstretched his big hand for you to shake.
“I don’t really think you need an introduction. I’ve heard a lot about you,” you said, noticing how he still held your hand in his own despite the shake being far from over.
“And what is it you’ve heard?” He asked in a teasing fashion, his lips curled up at the ends.
“Only that you're the strongest sorcerer, Nanami said you’re childish, the students like you a lot,” you paused.
“What is it?” He probed. 
“I’ve been told you have these eyes that are so vividly blue,” you said, not being able to hide your curiosity.
He chuckled in understanding.
“You want to see them? You can take my blindfold off,” he said. 
At last he released your hand so you were able to do so. You had to stand on your tippy toes and he had bent down to help you as you flipped up the blindfold so it was resting on his forehead. 
You had gasped at the mesmerizing blue that was like no other.
“Like them?” he teased. 
His words had sent a jolt of heat in somewhere you were sure was not appropriate. 
“They are beautiful,” you had found yourself whispering. 
After that encounter, you and Gojo had experienced various flirtatious exchanges. The two of you had only gotten physical once and it had been unexpected. 
You had been cleaning up your classroom, the students having long been dismissed when he had come in.
“Still here?” He teased. 
“I’m not in a big hurry to go home,” you said offhandedly ignoring how his presence next to you, heat radiating off his body was making you nervous. You finished wiping off the chalk board and looked up at him. 
“Lonely at home?” he continued to tease. 
“No,” you said a little too defensively before adding, “I just like being here. You may have been here for a while but I’m still trying to get established.” 
It was true, you had shared it with him in one of your lounge room talks where he had asked you about your background. You were a foreigner that had cursed energy and had taught at a non sorcery university in your home country. Having heard of Jujutsu High and being introduced to Principal Yaga through a mutual connection, the principal had then invited you to come teach at Jujutsu High. 
“That’s right, I’m sorry,” he said, tugging at a strand of your hair.
“Why are you still here anyways?” you asked, turning the question back on him. 
“Because I knew you’d be here,” he answered honestly.
“Me?” you asked dumbfounded. 
He chuckled, stepping forward.
“How long are we gonna do this dance, princess?” he asked, calling you the nickname he had coined for you. 
“What dance?” you asked.
But you knew, of course you knew. All those flirty exchanges, light touches, teasing, and lounge room talks weren’t for anything. 
“That we don’t want each other,” he said simply. 
“And who says I want you?” you asked defensive again. Okay maybe you did want him, but he didn’t have to be so arrogant about it. 
“Hmm. Well what was it you said about my eyes again? ‘They are so beautiful.’ “
You flushed in anger and embarrassment now and tried to push past him, but he held onto you effortlessly by your shoulders. You were pinned against the chalkboard.
Before you knew it, his lips were on yours and your body instantly relaxed, you felt him smile at that. 
He was right of course, even if he had gone about it in the way he had, there was no denying the sexual tension and chemistry between the two of you. 
Giving yourself over to it now, you moaned as his lips moved to your neck, teething slightly at the skin. 
“I’ve wanted to do this for so long,” he groaned into your skin. 
Your hands went to his hair, fisting the soft white locks. 
Nothing else seemed to exist besides you and him. 
“Gojo,” you whined wrapping your legs around his waist and he seemed to know exactly what you needed as he hoisted you up easily and placed you on your desk, notebooks clattering on the floor. 
“Fuck,” he cursed as your long skirt spilled around your thighs revealing your silky skin and damp underwear. 
You bit your lip as his fingers found your clit. You felt like you were in heaven and his name had spilled from your lips over and over again like a prayer. 
Satoru Gojo…
Of course you had wanted him who wouldn’t? He was impossibly handsome, he had truly won the genetic  lottery in more ways than one, and he was so gifted with his fingers that were making you reach new heights even you hadn’t taken yourself to.  
That line of thinking created a problem brewing in your mind: Everyone wanted him.
So what made you different? You were the new girl on the block, and you didn’t know him all that well despite your talks with him. You didn’t know him all that long. Maybe you had been overthinking, but it was that thinking that had taken you out of the mood.
“Gojo stop,” you choked out. 
His movements stilled, hearing the tone in your voice.
“Is something wrong?” He asked. 
You couldn’t exactly tell him your worries as you didn’t want to make things awkward. Besides what were you supposed to say? ‘I’m worried I’m just another one of your quick hook ups?’ You didn’t want to be clingy or weird especially if he just saw this as a casual encounter.
“No, no, everything is fine. I just should be going now it’s getting late,” you rambled straightening yourself up and standing up from the desk. 
You had been grateful you hadn’t seen his eyes as you were sure they were confused.
“Well can I  walk you to your car?” he offered. 
“No, that’s not necessary but thank you for your concern,” you had stated. 
Then you had rushed off. 
Your relationship with Gojo has been rocky ever since. You actively avoided him and he started doing the same. In a way you wondered if you had bruised his ego since he had never been used to rejection. 
Tumblr media
Having assured Nanami you would be fine, you had driven yourself home. There was no reason for you to stay on campus given the meeting’s cancellation and the snow day. Moreover, you weren’t up to sticking around because of the morning’s embarrassing events. 
You made your way into your small apartment, and kicked your shoes off.’
When you were about to settle down on your couch and watch some television, the doorbell rang. Perhaps it was Nanami doing a possible checkup on Principal Yaga’s orders? 
You opened the door and found the person you were actively avoiding: Satoru Gojo.
“You forgot this,” he said, holding up your tote bag that you had left behind in the lounge room. 
“Oh, thank you,” you replied, still stunned. You stood there frozen for too long until he cleared his throat.
“It’s kind of cold out here, you know snow day and all,” he said, shivering with emphasis.
Even though it was the last thing you wanted to do, you invited him in. 
“Make yourself comfortable. Do you want anything?” you asked, closing the door behind him and watching as he looked around your living room. 
“No, I’m good. I can make you those noodles you wanted earlier though,” he offered. 
The noodles? Oh yes, the ramen pack. You had forgotten about them. It was endearing in a way that he had even remembered them. 
Before you could answer, he was picking the plastic bowl out of your purse and heading towards the kitchen.
“That’s not really necessary..” you began to protest as you followed him but he cut you off.
“Have you eaten today?”
Your stomach betrayed you, giving a rumble by way of answer. 
He chuckled before saying, “thought so.” You watched as he filled one of the pots with water before placing it on your stove and turning it on. The kettle would have been much more straightforward but given the morning’s events you figured he didn’t want to use it. Once the water heated up enough, it didn’t take too long on account of you having a gas stove, he transferred the dry noodles from their plastic bowl container to the pot.
Watching him in this domestic setting did something to you. Though you couldn’t see his eyes, his face was calm and focused. 
“Watching me?” he teased.
Your face blushed scarlet. 
“You know it’s not really fair that you wear that blindfold around,” you said. After all, it gave him the advantage of being able to catch you gawking at him. You suspected this wasn’t the first time he had noticed. 
“Would you like me to take it off?” He asked innocently. 
Remembering your only other exchange with him that involved his unsheathed eyes, you opted against shaking your head then adding a firm “no” in case his eyes weren’t on you for once. 
All the same, you continued to stand there leaning alongside the counter watching him as he had now taken to stirring the boiling noodles with a fork. After a few minutes of this, he transferred the now ready noodles into one of your bowls. 
“Do you prefer your noodles with broth or drained?” He asked. 
“Drained,” you replied, 
“Me too. I find that too much liquid laps up the flavor,” he said, going to drain it now in your sink. He then added the flavor, stirring it. When it was at last ready, he set it on your kitchen island, beckoning you to come sit. 
Hunger winning out, you did as he had instructed, not even bothering to care that he sat in the seat next to you. 
The noodles were good and just warm enough for you to enjoy and satisfy your hunger. You eagerly stuffed your face forgetting for a moment the man at your side. 
It was only when you finished eating that he at last spoke up.
“I wanna talk to you about what happened between us,” he said. 
Of course you had expected this, but it didn’t make it anymore easy to breach this topic. 
“What is there to talk about?” you asked, deciding to play dumb. 
“The kiss we shared,” he said, turning his body towards you.
He knew damn well it had been more than a simple kiss. If you hadn’t put the brakes on when you had maybe the two of you would have gone all the way in the classroom! 
“I don’t see why we have to discuss it. We kissed, so what? We can move on from it,” you said. 
“But that’s the thing. I can’t move on. I think about it all the time,” he said. There was a unique yearning in his voice, a tone you had never heard from before. At last you turned to face him as well and though his eyes were still hidden there was an expression of sadness on his face. 
“Well I’m sure you kiss people all the time,” you said. In an effort to put some space between the two of you, you stood up and walked away from the kitchen back into the living room, hoping he’d follow so you could direct him to the door. 
“That’s it then? You think I just kiss anyone?” he asked, following you as you had anticipated. His long legs allowed him to catch up to you quickly and he caught your wrist, swiveling you around to face him. “Don’t ignore me. You feel something for me too, I know it.” 
His proximity to you had your breath hitching, it had been a while since you had been this close. 
“Gojo-“ you began to protest.
“Satoru,” he corrected, wanting things to be less formal. 
“Maybe you should get going,” you said but your voice wasn’t as convincing as you’d hoped. 
“You’d really throw me out in the snow like that?” he teased. 
“You’d be fine,” you retorted. 
By now your resistance was waning, despite your better judgment, the scent of his cologne and the feel of his warm body was threatening your resolve. 
He seemed to know that all too well. 
“Let me kiss you again. I’ve missed your lips,” he whispered. 
Your knees buckled a little. 
He bent down, lips brushing against your jawline, the scent of him intoxicating.
It was futile, you wanted him desperately and he knew that. So when you didn’t push him away his lips lingered merely inches from yours, his minty breath in your face, leaving the option to you. 
Giving into your urges, you had only to bend forward, and once you did his lips were on yours. Like before, the passion between the two of you was intense, even more so given the built up frustration from how you had avoided him then. 
His tongue soon found yours and your legs hoisted yourself around his waist. 
“Satoru.. bedroom,” you whimpered. 
He understood, still holding you as you guided him to your bedroom. 
You didn’t have time to feel embarrassed about the plushies you had on your bed despite being a grown woman, as he plopped you down alongside them.
“Lay back,” he commanded. 
You did, but watched as he got on his knees in front of you. 
“Satoru, what are you doing?” you asked, still breathless from the kisses you had exchanged. 
He took his time answering you, a sly grin on his face as his hand caressed your pantyhose clothed thighs that were exposed as your skirt fell in ripples around your waist. 
“I’m gonna make you feel good. The way I wanted to before you left that day,” he said. His hands went up to the top of your waist band, pulling your pantyhose down effortlessly. He gasped at his newfound discovery. “No panties? You really are so shameless.” 
Your face was red.
“I- there was a line with my skirt and the tights are thick,” you stammered, feeling the need to defend your choice of wear. 
“I like it. How often do you go commando under these long skirts of yours?” he probed, fully removing your tights and leaving your legs and sex naked underneath the layers of your skirt. 
“Only when I wear the tights underneath,” you replied.
His hand cupped your heated sex, your arousal leaking into the palm of his hand.
“That’s right you did have some panties on in the classroom that day,” he said recalling. His fingers parted your wet folds. “You think one of these days you could just go completely commando for me? Nothing underneath? Not even your pretty little tights?” 
By this point you kept feeling pangs of pain and your clit throbbing, there was no denying the effect he had on you. 
“Somehow I don’t think that would be appropriate for the classroom,” you stated. 
This only seemed to encourage him more. 
“It’d be fun though. Just think about it,” his hand released your sex. He seemed to have something devious in mind. He came closer to you whispering in your ear. “You and me. The fun we could have. The quickies we could partake in between classes.” 
You’d be lying if you said his words weren’t appealing to you and vivid images of you hoisted against a desk and him shooting his load into you were intruding your mind.
“Satoru…” your voice had an edge to it. One that still remembered why you had put the brakes in between the two of you in the first place. 
He seemed to understand.
“Oh that’s right. You think I do this with just anyone. That I’m something of a player huh?” He asked, and you were surprised to hear offense in his voice. 
“I just don’t know you all that well yet,” you stammered apologetically. 
You felt that it was an almost stupid thing to say given the state the two of you were in. 
“Do you want to know me?” He asked. 
“Yes,” you replied. 
“Good, because I want to know you too,” he said. He sunk back down to his previous position between your legs. He pulled his blindfold down, letting it rest at his neck so his crystal-like eyes were visible. “And right now, I want to know what makes you tick.” 
Tumblr media
When Principal Yaga had first told him there would be a new professor from overseas joining them, it hadn’t mattered to him greatly. 
Another teacher? Well that was good. A foreigner? Interesting. 
However, it hadn’t been something he had given much thought to.
So when he first met you at the faulty meeting he had hosted in his apartment, he had been surprised to find out how beautiful you were. You were also young, a little bit younger than him but still so young for someone so well accomplished (yes after your flirtatious encounter where you called his eyes beautiful he had looked you up). 
He must confess, he read your academic articles all thirty of them and he was always finding an excuse to speak to you in the lounge room. 
At last when he hadn’t been able to fight the longing for you anymore, he had waited until after hours, knowing you’d still be on campus. 
“Still here?” He had taunted. 
“I’m not in a big hurry to go home,” you said.
That was interesting to him. Surely a woman like you had someone waiting for her? It was something he had pathetically tried to find the answer to online but had fallen short given your profiles being professional in nature.
Desperate for the answer he continued to tease.
“Lonely at home?” 
God, he could shoot himself in the foot for that one! How incredibly cringe. He was used to getting away with it on account of his good looks, but you were different than most. You didn’t seem to fall easily to his charm. In a way it was humanizing, you didn’t let the veil of his looks and his power get in the way of seeing him for what he was. 
“No. I like being here. You may have been here for a while but I’m still trying to get established.” 
As suspected, you didn’t find his comment charming, answering rather defensively. 
“You’re right. I’m sorry,” he said, tugging a strand of your hair and considering it a good sign when you didn’t shoo him away. 
“What are you still doing here anyways?” You asked him. 
His heart was racing from how your eyes looked up at him and he was (not for the first time) grateful that his blindfold kept him shielded for surely he looked like a lovesick schoolboy.
“Because I knew you’d be here,” he said.
“Me?” 
The way you asked so dumbfounded made his heart ache for you more. 
Yes you, he wanted to tell you, he wanted to tell you just how completely unaware you were of the effect you can have. 
Even more so when you allowed him to kiss you, he felt like he was on cloud nine. Your body had felt soft on him, it was everything he had dreamed about, everything he had allowed himself to feel despite his fragile heart being ever so cautious.
“Gojo stop,” you had said suddenly, and to his horror.
“Is something wrong?” he asked. 
You had only made excuses and ran off leaving his fragile heart to shatter into a million pieces. 
Tumblr media
“Fuck, Satoru- you’re so good at this,” you moaned, your back arching as you fell back against the mattress. 
He tongued at your folds, lapping at your clit and your arousal as if he was dehydrated and needed it in order to live. 
His fingers spread you open for him, flashing him with your inner pink, the sight nearly sending him into a frenzy. 
Your hands went to his white hair, gripping the locks and using them as an anchor as his tongue continued to pleasure you. 
Your moans were just as pretty as he had imagined and between that and the taste of you, he was determined to make you orgasm hard. 
It didn’t take long for him to find your sweet spot. You were starting to realize that of his mouth had more uses than just teasing and your toes curled. 
“This is where you’re weak, huh?” he said, sensing it from how your grip on his fingers tightened. You felt him curl his fingers up inside of you, continuing to pleasure that new unlocked spot as he leaned forward tongue still sliding down your sensitive clit. 
“Mm- Satoru I’m close,” you warned.
“I know, I know,” he cooed against your skin. 
Continuing that pace and motions, you felt it arising now, the tell tell signs of orgasm and the adrenaline feeling as if you were falling off a cliff. “That’s it, baby, let it go.” 
And you did, coming down from your high as your fluid flooded his tongue. 
You panted and watched as he lapped you clean, relishing the taste. Then, like before, a devious look rose to his crystal eyes. He came up to you, hovering gently above you, hands on the bed to steady himself.
“You should really taste yourself,” he said. Before giving you time to register what he meant, he kissed you and you moaned against his lips. The taste on his lips was sweet yet metallic and it was yours. It was so lewd, the way you enjoyed it, but again the fire of desire was burning for him so you simply indulged in the passionate makeout.
“Want help with that?” you asked, eyes pointed at the bulge in his pants as the kiss broke apart, salvia still connecting the two of you faintly. 
You swore you saw him blush, but having a new found confidence, you didn’t wait for him to answer, fingers shakily undoing his pants. 
“So eager,” he teased, stepping back to fully shrug the pants and his boxers off. His shirt followed after.
His cock was big, bigger than any you had been with, and the head was just as pink as his lips. A forming bud of precum was visible at the tip.”Like what you see?” 
“Very much so,” you admitted. You were ready for him to sink into you, but an expression of concern overtook his face. 
“I don’t have a condom,” he explained, “I know you think I do this a lot but I don't, I don’t just have them on me.” 
You chewed the inside of your cheek. You weren’t exactly on any birth control right now since it had been a while since you were sexually active yourself, but you didn’t want to turn him down. Plus you were aware of where you were in your cycle so the chances of pregnancy would be slim.
“It’s fine, but I’m gonna need a morning after pill just in case,” you stated. 
He seemed to perk up.
“Does that mean I can spend the night?” He asked. It never ceases to amaze you how someone of his stature could still have such a childlike demeanor. 
Oh what harm could it do? You had already made it this far with him.
“Yes,” you conceded. You tried not to think about the fact that he was still technically a coworker and you intrusively wondered how the students would react if they knew the two of you were engaging in such activities. 
“Hey, what’s going on in that pretty little head?” He asked. 
“Nothing I just, we’re still colleagues,” you said. 
He smiled and lined himself up with you, the tip of his cock fettering your entrance.
“And? Colleagues can’t blow a little steam off together every now and then?” 
You gasped feeling him against your slickness, not in yet but only just, still lingering at your entrance.
“That’s not really helping your case of not doing these things with just anyone,” you said. 
He laughed.
“I can assure you before you I had no need or desire to fuck a colleague,” he said. 
Then at last, he began to sink into you. At first only the delicate pink tip, then an inch, then two more, until the full length was bottomed out inside of you. 
“Oh, you feel so full,” you whispered more as an exclamation to yourself but he heard all the same. 
For him, it has always been a fantasy to fuck you in your work clothing, as he had told you before your long skirts offered the illusion of quick access whenever at his disposal. 
He began to thrust lightly, allowing himself to relish all your warm walls. 
“So sexy,” he praised as his pace began to quicken. Your eyes rolled back in pleasure and you could feel his pulse beating away inside of you. 
It felt natural being under him like this, almost right as if you were meant to be underneath him like this taking every inch of his impressive rod. 
Although you were no stranger to sex at your age, his thrusting made you feel something you never had before. 
“Fuck me back, you’re a big girl aren’t you?” he teased, his mind probably following your line of thinking.His words emboldened you, and your vaginal grip on his cock tightened, and you began to thrust your hips up to meet his pace. 
You craned your neck a little to watch as his cock went in and out.
He caught you looking. 
“So you like to watch, huh?” his voice was heated. God, he was finding out so much about you. You were just as dirty as him, even if you were usually so well composed. 
“Satoru!” you yelped as he easily lifted you up, bodies still connected and dragged you to the restroom. 
“Oh this is perfect,” he whispered. 
Your bathroom had a large full length mirror and another large mirror above the sinks. Here, no matter where you’d look, you’d be able to see him fucking you. 
“Satoru, can I take my clothes off?” you asked, horrified at the idea of your work clothes getting soiled. 
“I have no objection to that,” he said. He placed you against the countertop, and undid your blouse removing it and your bra. 
Then came your skirt. 
Regrettably, for this he had to slide out of you, but it only took a moment. 
“Face the mirror I want you to be able to watch,” he said.
You did, gripping the counter as he slid into you from the back.
This all felt so surreal. 
Had it only been just this morning that you had burnt yourself? You had still been avoiding him then, now he had you bent over in your own bathroom as he thrusted in and out of your vagina raw from behind. 
You supposed this was what fucking a colleague entailed, it was much more chaotic than in the movies. 
Your eyes caught sight of his face, red and sweaty, eyes closed and turning your head to your side, you saw his length going in and out of you from the reflection in the full length mirror. 
His fingers kneaded the flesh of your ass, and you threw your ass back against him, cheeks enveloping his cock.
“Fuck,” he cursed. 
Your shared moans echoed in the bathroom’s acoustics and it only set him off more. His pace quickened and his hands reached around to cup your breasts, squeezing the sensitive nipples. 
You turned your head and your lips found his, all the while his thrusting and you grinding your ass back against him were bringing you both closer to reaching your peak.
“Satoru-“ you warned, but he seemed to understand.
“I know, I know. I’m cumming too,” he panted. 
Breathing heavily, you felt him shoot his load into you as you came on him, fluids dripping to the floor. 
He gave a shaky laugh.
“Erm- I can clean this up. Don’t worry about it. You should go lay down,” he said after using your hand towel to clean in between your legs. 
Mumbling in agreement, you went back to your room. 
Heart beating fast you tried to reconcile with the fact that you just had sex with a colleague and moreover you had agreed for him to stay the night. It wasn’t that you regretted it, Gojo was many things but a bad lay wasn’t one of them. 
You opened your drawer and quickly changed into a matching lounge set. You heard Gojo humming and moving around in the bathroom as he cleaned up. When he came out, he held your clothes in his hands, still naked himself. He placed your clothes on your bed before going to pick his own up and putting them back on, laughing slightly.
“What’s funny?” you asked. 
“You,” he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. His lower half was covered once again as his boxers and pants came back on. 
“What about me?” You pressed. 
“You’d think after what we just did you wouldn’t be so shy still. It’s cute,” he said, pulling his top on and adjusting it so his v-line was no longer visible. He left his shoes off and when you raised your brows he said “remember I’m staying the night?” 
Of course you remembered. 
“Yeah, yeah,” you said, shrugging. 
He let out a belly laugh. 
“Why do you keep laughing at me?” you asked, growing frustrated. 
His face softened as he smiled at you fondly. 
“It’s just I don’t think I’ve met someone who is worse at expressing their feelings than me, it’s comforting.” 
Well, he was right in that assessment so you couldn’t help as your lips twitched upwards in a smile of your own. 
Tumblr media
If today was going to be his only chance to make a good impression of you, he was going to use it to his full advantage. 
“You know what I always loved to do during snow days? Build a fort and watch movies with hot chocolate.” 
Luckily, you had taken his suggestion well and so he had taken it upon himself to build said fort by maneuvering your furniture and bringing your blankets and pillows over to the living room in front of the tv. 
He was aware of your eyes watching him as he did so. 
“What?” he asked, his hand rubbing the back of his neck self consciously. 
“You’re just different than I expected,” you said genuinely, your voice free of judgment. 
He nodded in understanding, he was used to people having the wrong impression about him. His looks, his talents, which were given to him at birth, all of these were things that shaped how people viewed him. He couldn’t fault you for having thought the same, but it did relieve him that you seemed to be gaining a more comprehensive perspective of him now. 
“I’m gonna make us hot chocolate, you’re still banned from using the kettle after this morning,” he said, making his way to the kitchen and looking through your cupboards. He found the hot chocolate packets and went through the motions of heating up the water again just as he had done for the ramen earlier. 
“Speaking of this morning, you should really apologize to the kids. You were kind of stern with them,” you said, appearing at his side and leaning  against the fridge. 
You looked so beautiful to him in the fluorescent lighting, your lips still puffy from the kisses you had exchanged and your hair tousled. He wanted to freeze this moment and live in it. He could see himself growing old with you and sharing domestic moments such as this. Satoru you poor romantic thing, he thought to himself. He had quite a habit of being a yearner, of letting his feelings consume him. 
It was his biggest flaw.
“Yes, maybe I should. Tomorrow I’ll make sure to do so,” he said. 
He finished preparing the hot chocolate and carrying both mugs he said: “now would you like to choose the first movie?” 
Tumblr media
Watching movies with Gojo was peaceful. You each took turns choosing a movie. He preferred comedies and animated movies while you chose cult classics. 
Strangely enough, you felt comfortable with him. His commentary every now and then throughout the movies and the way he laid close to you in the fort, with only your knees brushing past each other occasionally, made you feel like he was trying to put you at ease.
Despite the two of you having sex earlier, he didn’t make any moves to touch you again, and you felt that it was intentional with him leaving the choice up to you. 
After the last movie finished, credits rolling, he turned down the volume before facing you.
“So what’s with you and Nanami?” he asked. 
You could tell from his expression he was trying to seem nonchalant, but his eyes that had remained unblindfolded betrayed him, there was worry in his pretty blues. 
“Nanami? Nothing. He’s just a colleague and I enjoy working with him. Why?” you asked. 
“I just wondered because you chose him to accompany you to see Shoko over me,” he said. There was a long pause before he added, “you know we’re colleagues too.” 
Your face flushed as you understood. 
“I don’t like Nanami like that,” you mumbled, no longer able to meet his eyes. Luckily, he didn’t press you more, your answer being sufficient enough for him. 
You felt him shift besides you until he was no longer on his back but facing towards you. Having had his blindfold still off you were able to notice more of his emotions he usually kept hidden. Now there was a hint of sadness in them, the same sadness you had seen on….
“Satoru, why does Shoko always look sad?” You asked. 
He gave you a wry smile. 
“It’s a long story and I’m sure only Shoko can speak for herself, but I can tell you about it as best as I can.” 
So he did.
He told you the story of three young gifted sorcerers and their ‘blue spring,’ as he had coined the last time the three ever felt a sense of normalcy. The story involved himself, Shoko, and someone named Geto, but mainly it orbited around him and Geto. Gojo told you of the mission they had failed at, to keep a young girl named Riko alive since she was the Star Plasma Vessel. You could tell by how he spoke of it that he felt largely responsible, especially since he hadn’t rested as much as he should have. 
“But that wasn’t your fault. You couldn’t have possibly known about Toji and he was strategic so you’d never see him coming,” you said. 
“Maybe but it’s my fault for not noticing after how Geto changed. It affected him more than me in a way because of his ability to absorb curses. All that negative energy and the way it made him feel especially after he was jaded by the fact that non sorcerers couldn’t care less about sorcerers who protect them.”
Feeling that this was the first time he had opened up about this, you turned your body to face him as well and took his hand in your own squeezing it for support. 
“Maybe you didn’t notice it because he kept it to himself? You can’t fault yourself for that,” you said.
“Or maybe he didn’t tell me because of who I am, who I was born into being and my abilities. You know I’ve never known what it’s like to feel weak to feel truly powerless? Sometimes I don’t even feel human.” 
You felt a twinge of guilt for having thought he was some sort of womanizer, after what he had told you, that seemed so far out from the truth. It was clear he wore his heart on his sleeve and that it was his nature but he was guarded, even felt isolated because of the magnitude of his strength.
“I don’t think that’s fully true. Maybe in terms of power and your cursed energy but what you described: regret, guilt, and loneliness. All those things are very human,” you said. He smiled at you, and it reached his eyes so you figured your words had been of some comfort to him. 
“In a way Shoko probably feels more regret than I do, though I can’t be certain,” he explained to address your original question. 
“How so?” you asked. 
“Shoko’s ability is to heal. Curses destroy, people get hurt, and she heals. It is the same over and over and after a while you can start to wonder if there’s a point, if there is an end to the cycle.”
“Just like Geto did,” you finished for him, making the connection. 
He nodded. 
You laid there in silence for a while, listening to the gentle sound of his breathing. 
“Why me?” you asked, finally asking the question that has been the source of your previous resistance to him. 
“You’re beautiful, I thought so the moment I saw you. In truth it was after reading your published articles that I wanted to know you more. I felt like you’d understand me. You know your article analyzing Shakespeare's King Henry?” 
You nodded. How could you forget? It had been a pain to publish through all the hurdles of academia. 
“There was one line from the play you wrote about and it really stuck with me,” he said. He waited as if he wanted you to guess which line it was, and instinctively you knew.
“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.”
Tumblr media
You don’t remember falling asleep or making it to your bed but when you wake up with the warmth of the sunlight kissing your face you immediately sit up as you remember the previous day's events. Your blankets having been used for the fort were draped back around you. 
A glance at your bedside tells you that Gojo had been to the store already, the morning after pill box sitting there waiting for you to take with a glass of water next to it. You go through the motions of taking it and then follow the scent of bacon and eggs to your kitchen. 
Gojo is there, cooking breakfast and his blindfold is back on. 
“Good morning,” he says, seeing you linger at the entrance. 
“Satoru, what time is it? It’s so bright out,” you asked, going to sit at the kitchen island. 
“A little past noon. Shhh don’t worry. Classes are canceled for today again so I turned your alarm off,” he said, setting a plate of food in front of you alongside a cup of orange juice.
“I don’t remember falling asleep,” you said, biting into the fat of the bacon. 
He laughed.
“Yeah you went out like a light. I think it’s my fault we spent the whole day watching movies and I trauma dumped on you,” he said. 
He sat down next to you with his own plate of food and orange juice. 
At his words, you briefly remember strong arms carrying you to bed, lingering lips on your forehead and a gentle kiss on your skin. 
“Did you sleep here last night?” you asked him remembering how he had wanted to spend the night with you.
“I did. I slept on the couch. I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable,” he explained. You nodded, yet a part of you was worried. Would you two go back to formalities? After everything the two of you had done and shared yesterday you couldn’t phantom that possibility. Fortunately he felt the same way. 
“Listen, the kids told me they are gonna have another snowball fight today before all the snow melts up. They asked me if I wanna join and I want you to come with me,” he said. 
You finished eating and looked at him. 
“I’d like that,” you replied. 
His hand reached for yours and he interlocked the fingers with you. 
“I want to be your man, if you’ll have me. I know we’re still getting to know each other but I can see myself spending forever with you,” he said, his cheeks were rosy.
“I want to be with you too. Forever is a long time,” you said. 
“I know so let’s start with now and we’ll lead our way into forever,” he said. 
When he leaned forward to kiss you, you didn’t deny him, savoring the taste of him and bacon grease.

christmas special one ❄ snowy nights ﹫ lhs
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ꪆৎ — on a snowy night with you, heeseung decides to confess how much love he has for you ; pair best friend!heeseung x fem!reader ; genre fluff , f2l
your heart beats uncontrollably. being this close to heeseung shouldn't make you feel this nervous but it does. he shouldn't make you feel like your floating on clouds but he does. he makes you feel all things best friends shouldn't make you feel.
1 ) helps you bring in groceries , you're hearts a fluttering mess 2 ) says the most random joke , you're laughing genuinely 3 ) he's staring at you , fire is on your cheeks
so now, you're in each others arms, slow dancing in the snow. it was heeseungs idea, saying it would be so fun to play and dance in the snow. the sun had gone down but the snowflakes were still falling.
soft music was playing from heeseung's phone as you swayed back and forth. you accidentally stepped on his foot causing him to groan. "sorry! i-i'm not good at dancing." you apologized quickly, feeling embarrassed.
"it's okay." you looked up with a smile on your face but the smile got wiped right off when you realized how close you really were to heeseung. his eyes never left yours as he held you close.
"you're really pretty." he whispered softly. your heart pounded in your chest. so hard you though it was gonna come out. but of course you tried playing it cool. "thanks but i already knew that."
heeseung snickered. "did you?" you nodded, trying to mask all the emotions that are flying around in your heart. "did you know you're loved?" you tilted your head in confusion. loved? well yeah, you know you were loved but what was he getting too?
"did you know i love you?" heeseung whispered as if he just wanted you to hear. your heart pounded once again, but this time you were sure he heard it.
"did you know how much i've dreamt of being by your side all day, everyday? did you know that i wanted to put a mistletoe on my door frame so when you come over i could steal a peck? you're lucky sunghoon convinced me not to."
"did you know why i arranged to dance with you while it snow? answer is because im romantic —"
he winked causing you to blush.
"but it's also because i love you. literally more than anyone could imagine. more than sunghoon could imagine and believe me he hears about it all the time. sometimes at 3 am. but that's because you're on my mind every single day, hour, minute, second. i love you so much it hurts that i cant confess to you, but it looks like it just did."
you were speechless. you didn't know what to say. it was like he read your mind because you had felt everything he felt. possibly even more.
"i love you too." you whispered. your mind was a mess. no words could really describe you how your felt this very moment, but one thing was for sure, you love heeseung too.
"i really do." you add on. you were still in his arms, looking as fragile as ever. so many things you wanted to say but only three words could really describe how your felt. "i love you."
heeseungs smiled. his eyes sparkled in the night as you told him you felt the same. your confession wasnt as great at his but it was perfect to him. more perfect than he could ever imagine.
"you know, i ran this scene through my mindso many times but it's way better than i thought."
you giggle and lean closer to his chest. "i'm glad you confessed first." he smiled and held you closer. the chill of the night fell in and it was time to go home.
"do me a favor and put that mistletoe up when you get home." you whispered against his shoulder. heeseung laughed, kissing your cheek softly.

okay sooo i made some sketches for a few of the sprites i'll be using, some of which i'm gonna show here, as well as thinking about the code edits i'll need to do for this project. i don't want to just redraw a shimeji to look like SQQ, i want him to act and move in character, so i have a whole bunch of edits to do
Tumblr media
some of my notes:
i'm not yet sure how many sprites some animations will require so i'm not putting in a final number, or numbering which sprites will be used for what animation, but i'm going to throw out an estimate that the final sprite count will be about sixty-ish.
i mostly have all my animations already planned out. i know what i want them to look like and know how to do it, but there's a few i still need to think about, like one of the multiplying animations. i considered just getting rid of the one i have no ideas for, but i'll think on it some more. i'm open to suggestions too
i'm considering if i should code and draw in interactions with other shimejis already. it's a bit of a far off idea but i might make a Binghe or maybe even Liu Qingge or Shang Qinghua? who knows. anyway it'd be fun to make some interactions between them. i could even add a tutorial for adding more "romantic" interactions since i want to leave this area open for shippers. if i make it that is
"pet" - yes you can pat Shizun on the head. it makes him embarrased but he likes it.
i'd like to make this an incredibly intricate shimeji with a lot of animations but i'm worried about the performance. they may not be Chrome level RAM eaters, but they're not the lightest and i don't want to create something which people won't get to enjoy
i'm still considering where to host the files. thought about maybe hosting them on a patreon account (for free. the Shizun Distribution System does not demand payment for what it does) but i'm, again, open to suggestions
i'm making this for the Shimeji-ee DESKTOP SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS. i've never used things like the shimeji chrome extension nor do i own any apple devices. i don't know how to work with these. HOWEVER, if there's someone who DOES know how to work on those, feel free to make versions compatibile with apple or with browsers, BUT only if those versions ARE DISTRIBUTED FOR FREE AND CREDIT ME AS THE CREATOR. i want as many people as possible to enjoy my shimejis
two long idles, one of which i'm showing the sketch for. in the notes i wrote down "looping" and "sound" - while it may be a project that i do not realize in the end, i thought it would be cute to make an animation where Shizun plays the guqin and add sound to it. there would have to be the option to toggle animation sounds, and another to loop that animation, but i thought it would be absolutely adorable to make a sort of music player out of that animation, allowing the user to add a downloaded copy of their playlist into the files. imagine - you're sitting at your computer, studying, working or filing your taxes or whatever, and Shizun's on your screen, doing his thing, providing background music for whatever it is you're doing. cute, no? but this feels like the sort of thing that might get annoying or make your computer turn into a jet engine from overworking. so, for now this is staying a concept. the animation will be present, that much i guarantee but all that other stuff might not show up
OKAY, SO. as you might have noticed i have three designs. i sorta changed them since i made the first post about this, because as it turns out my computer screen doesn't actually display bright colours all that well. might have to fiddle with the settings on it more. anyway this time i coloured looking at my tablet screen so they should be more accurate to what i wanted. i decided that my previous design didn't look like mint chocolate chip ice cream enough <3
so, i'd like you guys to tell me which design is your favourite! i have mixed feelings about design no. 3 because, while pretty, it's kinda too detailed. i just know i'd get sick of redrawing it so i might simplify it further for the finished product
here's the designs!
Tumblr media
*slight correction: the eye colour is not final! i left the sketch in on those parts and forgot to actually draw the finished design for the eyes. i don't have the time to correct that at the moment, however. sorry! for a closer look at how the eyes might look like, see previous design

Angela And Spencer
Hello, everyone. I'm new here, not just to Smosh, but a little bit to Tumblr as well. And I'm jumping right into the deep end, I guess.
Okay, the thing is I absolutely love the Angela and Spencer dynamic. As a friendship and an amazing duo. It's just important to remember that they are not fictional, they're real people, so I don't let shit get weird. Is the idea of them together appealing? Sure, it is. I just believe it's okay as long as no one is being weird, creepy, or obsessive about it, then having casual fun with it is cool. Just be respectful. That's one of the reasons why I was hesitant to make this post because it might come across as something more than what it is. Which is just me enjoying my favorite duo, having fun, and sharing that with others.
Okay, now that's out of the way…
Spangela. As I've mentioned, I love them very much and I feel like not a lot of people talk about them. Now, more and more people are seeing the light, though. I still feel like they're closer than any of us realize. I only found two awesome compilations of them on YouTube, which was very surprising to me as a new fan of Smosh, I thought for sure there would be more. The compilations are created by @fvckwluv and they are an amazing editor, go check them out if you haven't already.
And because I get very anxious and I don't know many creators here and I don't want anyone to feel weird about my request. I'm making this post with some of my favorite moments, hoping that someone will kindly volunteer and make a compilation and add just a few of these moments to it. @fvckwluv I'm looking at you. Kidding, kidding. No pressure, lol. But I'd still appreciate it if one or two of them happen to make it in your next video because your editing is awesome and you can make all the moments work together well.
Okay, now, I can't do all my favorite moments in one post because that will be even longer than this one. I know. But yes, this post can be even longer. So, I'm only gonna start with sweet and very subtle moments that I feel show they're close friends and know each other well, as well as moments where Spencer is just being sweet to Angela. And if this works out and someone makes a video, then I'll post my other favorite moments. I mean, they roast each other constantly and they quite literally attack each other in Don't Win Mario videos all the time, so that should be its own thing.
So, I'm not including popular stuff of theirs. For now, I'm simply focusing on the underrated, subtle, and sweet friendship moments. Mostly. I will also be adding time stamps as much as I can, so it would be easier for anyone who wants to check them out or if anyone just wants to make a video.
--------------------------------------------------------
(The Chosen Moose Master Multiverse):
I mean, that whole video is just incredible. Their interactions are fucking gold. But other than the obvious moments, I like the subtle ones. When they start joking about Spy Kids. At 10:28, Spencer says to her, "And you love traitors." I'm starting with this moment, so you can understand what I mean when I say subtle moments. Because this one shows that he knows her and I like that.
When Angela does her second finishing move. At 20:38, I love how Spencer goes, "Oh, my god, I just got chills."
At 20:38, when she mentions that they forgot a rule during their turn with the I don't want to get a boner joke. I love the way he's smiling at her, saying. "We can take it back." And she smiles, too. "It's okay, I just wanted to get it in there."
Also, the last like 6 minutes of the video where he's so impressed laughing and clapping while she annihilates everyone.
--------------------------------------------------------
(Do you pick your nose in public):
They were both hesitant and unsure about smelling good to others. At 19:54, when Angela starts talking, I just like the way he's looking at her, so that's nothing. Just a me thing.
And at 20:26, you can see them in the background nodding at each other reassuringly.
At 25:55, he jokingly asks Angela "So you're telling me if I come to you with a pimple…" I know Chanse answers him, too, but he was very clearly looking at Angela when he was talking, he also laughed at her chatGPT answer.
--------------------------------------------------------
Okay, look, I just love seeing how they progressed in their relationship over time. In earlier videos, you can so clearly tell that they're still trying to feel each other out a little bit, it's so sweet.
Two times there was a tie, and Spencer had to be the tiebreaker, and both times, he picked her. Again, it's nothing, but I like these videos. The worst dates ever? Video. Spencer joins at 30:43. And the Our Craziest Business Ideas so Far video, Spencer joins at 35:55, Spencer liked her idea there, as he should, it was great. And it was also really funny when they all leaned in to smell him because he smelled so good, apparently.
--------------------------------------------------------
(Don't Win Mario Kart):
This video was amazing, just because Angela won that shit, but also because Spencer was so hyped whenever she won, and at 8:57, he was like, "Oh my fucking god." And, 20:35, he goes, "Angela won again!" In like, an excited voice.
And when Chanse was teasing her and telling her that her hair smelled bad when she was dancing and celebrating, for whatever reason, Spencer says at like, 20:11 "Show us how you washed your hair." Which is just…a great thing to say for me to think about. Thanks, Spencer.
--------------------------------------------------------
(Is He Cheating? Reddit Stories):
I mean, the whole video is a favorite moment on its own. But of course, the 13:27 Nerfs are in the gun joke, the look he gives her after is one to dissect, for sure. The first time I watched it, I was like, "What's wrong with him? Why is he looking at her like that? The joke wasn't that bad." And then I thought, maybe it was an inside joke or something because his reaction was so…weird, but also really hot? But the slight smirk was just…yeah, it was something. I was confused, mainly. I love them.
And the exchange goes on for a while, too. After Shayne asks for clarification Angela explains, and Spencer turns back to her and says softly, "That's crazy." And then they both just exhale a little laugh while covering their faces. Yeah, I think about this a lot. But I also feel like it was just a moment with no explanation behind it.
At 14:07, When Shayne announces an update and Angela leans in excitedly with her mouth open, Spencer sees her in the monitor or screen thing. He sees her and smiles and then leans in with her, too, with an agape mouth. I liked that moment. Especially that small smile and chuckle he lets out when he sees her reaction before doing the same thing himself.
At 52:33, when Angela starts humming jokingly at the Reddit story and he joins, I love how long it goes on. She just keeps doing it while he's silently laughing.
At 53:42, when Spencer makes the uggo joke, and Angela laughs and explains it to Shayne, I think you can see him looking at the monitor again, smiling while she speaks. And of course, when they lean in together at the end of the video showing off their matching hats. Like, we get it, you're insanely cute.
--------------------------------------------------------
(Overcooked):
The glasses saga starts at 2:02. And from there, it's all hilarious and cute at the same time. But, an underrated part, is at 18:33, after Angela says "They're in my car." the first time. You can hear Spencer ask, "Do you want me to go get them?" And you can see Angela shake her head no. But it's very faint, though, you have to wear your headphones to hear him.
--------------------------------------------------------
Okay, now, live streams. Live streams are where they truly thrive and shine.
(Sharing YOUR SWORD AF fan art live):
Just one very small moment here and it's still a good one. People kept sending how sexy Angela is in the chat and how she is the sexiest woman alive, and I mean, they're so valid for that. Anyway, Amanda kept bringing it up to Angela because she wasn't wearing her glasses and couldn't read the comments. And then Spencer was like, "I told them to shut up." It was just so funny and so cute. The whole sexiest woman alive thing starts at 1:24, but the Spencer comment is said after the 2:32 minute mark conversation between Amangela.
--------------------------------------------------------
(Don't win Mario Party Charity live stream):
At 11:54, he helps with her controller.
At 15:53, he references the papa thing she did in the cards against humanity video, and then he does it throughout the stream, as they all do, consistently. But he does it a lot.
Side note: Spencer also clearly mentioned once that he was cracking up when Angela was doing that, but I can't remember which video he said it and it's driving me crazy. If anyone can remember, let me know.
At 30:08, Spencer got confused about winning/not winning and Angela kinda chuckled and touched and patted his arm and he turned to her smiling. Again, a small moment, but I live for those.
Like at 30:20, when Angela starts singing the words don't win loudly and Spencer just looks at her and smiles, and Angela just lightly smacks his arm. Yeah, these are my moments. Sigh.
At 33:24, after she tries to sabotage him and Shayne, Spencer's like, "You're not even playing. what if I fully put down the controller and choked you out?" And just joking about not realizing that she wasn't playing.
Another choking comment to Angela by Spencer.
(The other one was in the latest Don't Win Mario Party video when they finally got day at the races. Angela says that she almost googled Day at the Races that morning to see what it looks like. And Spencer just straight up goes, "I would've choked you out." Which is so unhinged. And I love him so much for it. Truly. Thanks, Spencer.)
Back to the stream, at 34:18, Angela almost spoils a video about who wins in it and Spencer goes"Shhhhh. They're not even gonna watch it now", and she's like, "They don't watch for the winners." And he replies, laughing, "I know."
But the cutest part is Angela still very softly whispers and apologizes to him about almost spoiling it at 34:37, and it's just so sweet and melted my heart, Angela is adorable. You have to use a headphone to be able to hear her, though.
(Her apologizing to him happened two more times, I believe. That latest don't win video, when they were both Mario and Luigi and on the same team. When they lost, she said, "I'm sorry, Spencer." And on Reddit Stories, she says I'm sorry after he teases her about the fact that she doesn't give him enough time to get to a joke.)
At 34:47, Angela screams about mini-games incorrectly and he, of course, laughs, and then at 34:56, he asks her if she's singing Taylor Swift and teases her and says, "Dude, you were down bad last night" and then I can't hear what he said after that, something Taylor Swift? Most likely, singing. And then Angela of course says, "Shut up." It was a nothing moment, but again, I live for those.
Since she gave her controller to Courtney, Spencer turns to her at 37:59 and asks, "Hey, do you wanna use my controllers?" Angela got confused about what he was asking and then joked that she was already playing and Tommy joined in, the whole thing was cute, okay? Don't judge me, lol.
45:48, Spencer suggests that they, "de-italian Angela and get her fixed." And they all joke about that for a while. But what I love is that When Angela agrees to actually do it at 47:11 because she's awesome, Spencer says "Okay, thank you." because he knows that what he suggested was a bit insane, and he should be grateful that she's just as unhinged as he is.
At 50:33, Spencer jokes about the cone again, "You know how it is with Angela, man, she keeps getting into the trash." I'm including this joke because Angela laughed so damn hard at it. I love her ability to laugh at herself so much. Nothing but respect for her, honestly.
At 52:25, Spencer makes a weird sex joke, and Angela's like, "Spencer…" And then he goes, "Look, okay, it's a work in progress."
(This could also be paralleled in the latest don't win Mario party video. When Spencer says, "I hope I don't come in my pants." Everyone laughs, and Angela says, "Don't laugh at that." You can see Spencer close his eyes briefly, shaking his head and smiling.)
1:01:56. Somebody in the chat suggests they fix Spencer for a certain amount of money. And Angela's like, "That's not gonna be enough." And he continues her joke, "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
--------------------------------------------------------
(Boozy Painting Anthony For His Funeral live stream):
At 35:23, Angela excitedly asks him to paint something on her cast, and his response is equally as excited, open mouth and everything. I love that he tries to give her the same energy she gives other people. As he said on who meme'd it, it's the best part of Angela and you can tell he appreciates it so much and he tries to give her the same reactions to the things she says. I've noticed it a few times now. (For example, it happened in the Lego stream as well when she was talking about submitting options for her school mascot, he was giving her an Angela-type reaction to a very tame and normal story.)
At 39:38, after he messes up her cast, I just love that he wanted to try again and was like, "Let me draw something else." And then proceeded to lean over and just paint for quite some time on her cast until Alex had to be like, "Spencer get your elbow out of Angela's painting."
Also, I like the fact that Angela was the only one who knew Spencer was planning a Chanse and Angela show special because they'd already talked about it with each other before telling anyone else. Well, I assume Alex knew as well. It starts at 1:10:10.
17:06 - 17:23. After Angela posts coffee memes on Courtney's Instagram. Spencer says, "I gotta see these." And then you can hear him and Alex laughing, and then Spencer says, "These are awesome."
48:11, Spencer says, "The way Angela says day at the races is really funny." This bit might be more on the teasing side because he does say she sounds like Bobby Hill or Peter Griffin, but still lighthearted teasing.
59:16: This. This. This moment. This damn second. I have no idea what's going on here, but the way he just came up to her and touched her arm and both smiled and stuff was cute as all hell.
1:32:09, Spencer got so excited when Angela agreed to show her drafts. And then after Shayne reads her Call Me by Your Name draft at 2:12:12, Spencer says after they're all done laughing. "I would've retweeted that shit." It's extra sweet because she's been saying all stream that her co-workers never retweet her.
Also, I love how invested Spencer was in painting her face. Not only did he go over to her to take a picture of her on his phone, but at 1:19:36, he said, "Like, I need to see some red in there." And then Courtney is like, "Stop giving notes, Spencer."
Now this is speculation and not confirmed, but also I feel like it's obvious enough. Angela mentioned that she wanted her drawing of John Pork to be on set or something like that, and now it's on the Smosh Games set next to Spencer's one-ball picture. I can only assume that the director of programming is the one who approved to put it there, so yes, that is now a part of their lore in my mind. It's incredibly sweet and I just love seeing her drawing in the background in videos so much.
Now onto the best moment of the stream, at 1:25:00, Spencer sweetly asks her, "Do you need me to hold your jacket?" Like, I'm sure there are places she could put it away safely, but no, he asked if he could hold it for her. It was just so…I love him.
--------------------------------------------------------
(Smosh Does Arts and Crafts live stream):
At 43:57, Angela lights up when she sees him and says "Hey!" so excitedly. And then at 4:42, when she asks him the questions they asked Alex, he answers with "you." At the fancy party question. Though, he did answer with a bit of hesitation, lol. But that could mean anything, you know. The thing is his voice was kind of shy, yet a bit deep when he said it. This is just a Spencer thing, I love his voice.
At 1:08:50, Angela messed up the RumPum name and everyone was correcting her loudly, she was like, "I'm kidding, I got your ass." Spencer then chuckles and says, "You're gonna start doing that any time you get something wrong. Oh, I got you."
And then when Spencer told her at 1:21:46 to "Tell him–tell Shayne about your plan." I'm weird, I know, but again, I like the subtle moments that show that they talk to each other and are actually friends.
(Again, this could be paralleled in the latest Don't Win Mario Party. When Spencer says he wants to do an all-day marathon, Angela goes, "I pitched a meal train like churches do." While Spencer nods. Again, it seemed like she was the only one aware he wanted to do this and he already discussed it with her, along with Alex, probably. I also like that he clearly includes her in the creatives and stuff, and cares about her input.)
--------------------------------------------------------
(The Ultimate Staring Contest Live Stream):
When Angela was stone-faced and not laughing, and Spencer was like, at 16:25 "I think you brought that energy to TNTL one time." Like, wow, he remembers that! I don't know why that is so, so, so sweet to me. It was an old TNTL, too. The only hard mode TNTL Angela was in, I think.
And then at 16:37, talking about her dark place, he was like, "So, wait, what, what are you thinking about?" He was just really invested and maybe, just a tiny bit worried, I think. This whole stream felt like he was trying to be so attentive.
At 34:19, Angela talks about how she was on Spencer's computer and he had to go to a meeting, and then she, Shayne, and Amanda pranked him with a fart video. But it was her idea, I believe, and she was the one who gave it to him during the meeting. Amanda mentioned that people were clapping when she left the room. At 34:58. I just love knowing these things about them.
At 1:11:10, when they didn't agree on Angela's pitch, Angela was like, "I'm just pitching, that's all." Spencer went, "No, no, it was…." you can tell he felt bad that he said no. Even Alex felt a little bad and was like, "No, no, you can stand."
1:06:48, when Angela says she feels like she's been getting too much into a dark place, and Spencer goes, "Yeah, I'm legit w–yeah." I believe he was going to say worried. And it's so sweet and also kind of proves that it's not just me, he was being extra sweet that stream. Like, when he defended her against Chanse's joke about her being cross-eyed at 1:13:39. "I've never seen that Angela, don't believe him."
At 1:11:36, Angela pitches another idea again. And Spencer says "Yeah, mirror staring, that would be fun." But then, at 1:11:43 she says, "Everyone hates my ideas." And Spencer goes, "I just suggested your idea." Again, it's nothing, but I think he could tell she was a bit deflated and it was sweet that he was trying to make her feel better.
And finally, at, 1:17:16, he asks, "Was going to your dark place worth this food…meal you're about to have?" The entire stream, it just felt like he didn't like the fact that she went there. But maybe that's just me.
--------------------------------------------------------
(The Beopardy Charity Stream):
It's just another parallel of Spencer backing Angela up when she says some wild shit like she did in the family vlogging video. At 39:12, When Angela says they can play two truths and a lie with piss in the guns if they reach 20k, he sweetly pats her on the back, and then when everyone was laughing and Shayne was like, "Fuck. We can never allow Angela to pitch anything ever again." Spencer says, "dude, for 20k…" And Angela goes, "Thank you, Spencer."
Also, when Keith announced that she won the whole thing, Spencer looked so happy and excited as he clapped for her.
--------------------------------------------------------
(Reading Reddit Stories From Our Crew Live Stream):
At 50:15 Shayne starts reading a story, and in the story, it mentions the person is only a freelancer at Smosh. And Spencer jokingly says, "Okay, Angela." It wasn't her story, though. But I thought that was funny and cute, the way she just popped into his mind, I guess.
My absolute favorite part is at 1:10:07 when Shayne asks about what they're most excited to see at Anthony's funeral. Spencer says he's most excited about Angela reading the chats as the vessel. Because that was his favorite part during Lisa's funeral. And then he went on applauding Angela on not only reading and figuring out the chats but adding her original takes as well since she's still kind of new to Smosh. The way he talks about her with so much admiration and respect. My heart.
--------------------------------------------------------
(The Lego Competition Live Stream):
This Stream is a Spangela stream and you can't convince me otherwise. I mean, they all kind of are, but this one…
At 14:08, they joke about building a hot and beautiful woman, and Angela just reaches over to touch him. I simply really love that moment.
And when he brings up that they were discussing their favorite Angelaisms the other night, he looks at her before he actually speaks. It's subtle, but he does, and why do I like that? I don't know, but I do.
53:54, when they were talking about a possible fake belly button ring for the chosen, I love how Angela starts joking in a British accent and Spencer smiles at her sweetly and joins in, laughing. Felt like an inside joke and I just love that.
26:30, Angela asks, "Do you wanna see mine? John pork. " Spencer goes, "You're getting there. Never give up."
At 40:42, when Spencer reads a comment about Angela and Chanse or Angela and Shayne playing fatal frame 4, Angela jokes, "Please, I've been begging, I've been begging." And then starts coughing heavily, he goes, "Do you wanna water?" The bare minimum, I know. Still, it's sweet, okay? He's like, the only one who's asked.
25:30 he says that his favorite shit was when she teased Amanda about saying something to her about the necklace during the criminal minds episode. I also like the fact that he brought that up when Chanse said something about Angela not slaying every day. And Angela was like, "You guys are just gonna sit there and let him do that to me?" I feel like Spencer's thought process was like: okay, let me bring up this moment where you were funny and how it was my favorite thing.
At 43:31, the sudoku thing. I love that he wasn't laughing with everyone else when Angela was kind of being self-deprecating about the sniper chess video and learning how to play chess. And he tried to make it better, you know, didn't fully succeed, but he did say she was great in the video and was a star. And even though he brought up that she whiffed the last two videos, he was talking about them in a positive light and that he loved them. "The werewolf ending and the criminal minds ending were the funniest shit to me."
I very much love the way he tried to imitate her. "Whoever playing the unsub better wake up." It was so cute and funny. And then when Chanse asks you said that? or something like that. Spencer replies, laughing," Something Angela fucking says." Again, in such an endeared tone of voice.
At 46:02 when Angela shows Shayne her garden, Shayne goes "Actually, I resp–I actually like that. " I love that Spencer kind of calls him out on being patronizing towards Angela a little bit and mocks Shayne and goes "Oh, you know what? I'm surprised." But the funniest part was that Spencer used the word "actually" with her when she first showed them the garden. "Oh, that's actually kinda cute." Said the hypocrite, lol.
55:20, the X-Men question. This moment is unreal. Don't even get me started on the fact that he stares at her for like, 20 seconds while smiling and shaking his head. My favorite part is not once does he open his mouth to call her out on her lying, he's just so endeared by her bit and just stays quiet to let it continue. And that look again at 57:55. He's just so…amused? Perplexed and amused? It's a similar smirk to the one he gives her after the Nerfs are in the gun joke. And yes, indeed, he does know Angela. He knows that she's blowing smoke and shit up her butt. Oh, how far they've come.
Okay, I'm done. For now. I had to cut and edit some moments out of this post, so…
I feel like most of these would be great to edit because there are a LOT of parallels. For example:
"Do you need me to hold your jacket?"
"Do you wanna use my controllers?
"Do you wanna a water?
"Do you want me to go get them (her glasses)?"
Just Spencer making sure Angela's got everything she might need. You get the idea.
I would also just love to discuss these moments, were you aware of most of them or is it just me? What are your favorite moments?

Ooooookay! Hazbin Hotle redesigns....but not really? Honestly, it's just me drawing them in my style, but they could be considered redesigns, I guess, specifically Charlie
Tumblr media
Uhhhh I guess we start form left to right sooo, Emily!
Right, so, Emily is obviously a fallen angle. Thiguht this isn't her fallen look, since we already kneo what she looks liek with wings and a halo I didn't think about making a 2nd version of her without the demon disguise- but maybe I should
Either way, I kinda kept her original dress, with the symbols and what not, I feel liek blue and purple really suit her so, indigo
I tried to add red to her, but it just didn't look good. It gave me an eye strain.though her till and horns have a sort of dark magenta color going on
I wanted to add more 'freckles' cause, thier cute, and I have a bunch of freckles ove rmy arms and legs and face and stuff so, added them to em, I put a few on her ears and tail and horns to
Gave her gold buttons and fishnets on her arms, i forget what their called cause they are cute, and I like Athnek(?) Posts about Emily and uh, goth Emily, I think, is pretty cool and so boom, fishnet glive things- I gitta look up what there called
Lso ehr shoes look liek dolphins, which I didn't mean to do but it happened and I've accepted it
Next is Charlie!!
Um. Obviously, Charlie is the most changed from her canon design, I relaly like her hooves and others redesigns of her looking more liek a goat
Originally, I was just gonna add gaot ears and stuff, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea of her having fur soooo tadaaaaa~
I gave her a little red stripe between her eyes and fade on her legs and ears to match Razzle and dazzle, and since lucifer was a high angle a seraphm/archangels hoenstly I dotn see a difference. I gave her some white freckles as well to sorta, show that connection
Also, toe beans! If she has claws, she can have beans, I think that Emily would have a normal human hand while vaggie would have little soft spikes on her like moths do, tho that's not shown
I also drew charlies wings cause it's cnaon she has them, and I wanted to play around with the demon/angle wing/s she could have, my irl friend K helped me decide which one to choose
I also drew her leg so you can see the fade in full. Side note that her belly has the same cherry red fur
I also added some chest fluff because why not?
As for her horns, I kept them the same color but added rings like Lilith has to show a connection between them. She also has her mom's eyes and heart tail point. I wanted her to have some demon stuff out just cause, she is a demon, she should......also realizing just how long I made her tail-
Uhhh, oh, right, side note, which I'll have to make a separate post about, Lucifer/eve/lilith are all dating each other, and Chalrie is all 3s kid. Eve is where she got the goat aspect from, inckuding horn shape, her scaly tail, snake fangs, red cheeks and color scheme over all are from dad, and Lilith is where she got her eyes and horn rings and heart point from, and beans to I guess
Maybe I should make a gene sheet one day; I gave her Jean shorts, like how I usually wear just cause I didn't want to add too much red or black
Okay, vaggie time!
Vaggie is the least changed. The most I really change about her is how her wings look. Her hand snow has soft spikes like moths do, and her hair
I do think when she fell, she got more demon aspects, but since her wings were torn off, she doesn't have to many physically other than fangs and the spikes
I also made her hair shorter because please, nobody has their hair that long!! or if they do, then I've never seen them!
I know it's a show, but it was driving me crazy! I'm not that skilled at draw front view bodies yet, so if vaggie looks off I'm sorry:(
Play that should be it!-
Oh wait, hold on, right. The reason they have gold rings/objects on them is because in term software demon courting their all technically married, okay bye-

part 5
i actually don’t have something to say for once, i’m surprised cause i never shut up
Evelyn's pov:
I wake up next to Aurora around 7 a.m. I see the ice cream we shared last night on the nightstand and smile a bit, until I remember why we needed the ice cream.
I groan and get out of bed while reaching for my phone. I realize Paige texted me back!
Paige
Are you free to hang out tonight?
Sorry, but not tonight
What about tomorrow night?
Yeah! what time?
Whatever works for you
My friends and I are going out
around 8 later, you could come!
You could bring Aurora too!
Sure!
I am so excited to finally get some time away from Blake. I mean I still love him, but it gets kind of lonely because he doesn't like me having many friends. Oh goodness, I hope he doesn't find out about this, he certainly wouldn't like it.
Wait, he doesn't matter any more. I would never cheat on him, and we are still technically together, but it will be so nice to be free for once. Wait, I am free with Blake, right?
I decide I have to stop thinking, so I grab the eggs from the fridge and make Aurora and I breakfast. She wakes up just before I am done and comes to the table when i set our plates down.
"So, how are you feeling, babe?" She asks while poking at her scrambled eggs.
"I mean, I've been better, but i can't stop thinking of it as a simple mistake. I mean I made him pretty mad the other day," I reply while looking into her sympathetic eyes.
"Oh Evelyn, it is not your fault, and I won't have you thinking it is. Also this is not just a mistake, he broke your trust. If it was to get revenge for an accident, you deserve better." She says sweetly but firmly.
"Yeah, I guess," I say. She's wrong. I know she's wrong, she's just trying to make me feel better. I mean it's not the first time this has happened, wanting revenge is just a natural thing I guess.
We finish up breakfast and get ready to head our separate ways for class. I leave before Aurora because my class is earlier, but when I step in the hall, I hear a familiar voice behind me. I turn around to see Paige walking alongside one of her friends. She looks up and meets my eyes, and I watch her eyes light up.
"Hey, Evelyn!" I watch her say with a smile on her face.
"Hey, Paige!" I say back and begin to walk towards her.
"Are you so ready for tonight?" She asks while wiggling her eyebrows at me.
I let out a laugh and say back "Oh, you know it!"
Then the girl beside her begins to talk, "Ohhh, so this is Evelyn, she says while smirking at Paige. "I'm KK by the way," she adds before pulling me in for a hug.
Oh my gosh, if I get one more hug I am going to explode. I know they mean well, but the added pressure on my stomach is not doing well on my fresh bruises. Obviously, I can't tell them to stop because they'd ask why, and they just wouldn't get it. Blake and I have an interesting relationship, no one really gets our dynamic besides us.
I hug her back, but I keep it short, so my ribs don't feel like they're breaking for too long.
"Are you going out with us tonight?" I ask KK, while trying to keep a smile on my face.
Luckily she doesn't notice the deceptive look in my eyes, as she just continues with our conversation.
"Yeah, I am! And you know we are gonna get lit!" She says with an admirable amount of enthusiasm.
"Oh you know it," I say, laughing along with her. I turn to Paige and ask her "So, who is all going?"
"hmm, probably just me, KK, Aubrey, and Azzi, to be honest," she replies with a shrug.
I glance at my phone and realize i'm going to be late for class if I don't wrap this up. "That's cool! I can't wait to meet them," I enthusiastically say.
"Yeah, you've already met them, and I'm sure you'll love them when you get to know them!" She says back, matching my enthusiasm.
"Well, I have to go to class now, but I'll see you two later tonight!" I say before I turn to leave the dorm building.
Paige's pov:
I watch as Evelyn slowly disappears from my view until KK begins to speak.
"So, that's the famous Evelyn," she says with a smirk, "I can see why you like her so much," she continues poking fun at me.
"Stoppp," I say as my fave begins to turn red from embarrassment.
She laughs and we continue down to the cafe. Soon, we arrive, order, and sit down at a table together. KK pulls out her phone as we wait for our drink, but I just sit there and think.
I think about Evelyn and how unhappy she looked this morning. I don't know why, but her smile appeared to be spurious. Ever since Azzi said there was something off about her, I can't help but think the same. The look in her eyes, despite the smile on her face, when someone gives her a hug.
At first I thought it was just because she didn't want me hugging her, but when I noticed a similar look in her eyes when KK hugged her I got a weird feeling. It seemed like it was almost painful to hug us? Ugh, I don't know.
"Yo, Paige," I hear KK say, while snapping her fingers in front of my face.
"Yeah," I half-heartedly respond.
"I said your name like five times, what were you thinking about?" She asks while giggling, "Cause our drinks are ready," she continues while getting up.
"Oh, nothing," I mumble, while following her away from our table.
"Yeah, mhm, I'm sure it wasn't Evelyn," She says while evilly laughing.
"Oh, shut up," I say with my cheeks hot with embarrassment, "it was nothing." She just nods while continuing to smile. It was nothing right? I ask, trying to convince myself. We start to head back to our dorm, and I slowly forget about my deep thoughts from the coffee shop.
someone has feelings

ok i just realized I should make an intro post lol
Important bits highlighted for clarity cuz I realized this became a bit of a wall of text-
You can call me Blue or Cobalt! Any pronouns because idk what my gender is either lol. Mostly transmasc (not fully out of the closet, haven't really transitioned irl yet) but also I am a crow person?
tSotD (the webcomic I'm currently developing) blog is @the-secrets-of-the-dragons, which is mainly just a dev log at the moment lol
Gimmick blog is @daily-reaml-quotes, where I've queued up a random quote from a really long quote list if you wanna check that out.
My other socials are some variant of BlueDragin, but I'm most active on YouTube, Discord, and here. I also do commissions!
I'm not good at tagging or knowing what might be sensitive to people, so all my posts and reblogs are basically ask to tag by default, and please tell me if I should add a tag or warning to something! If it helps, I rarely reblog anything that might be nsfw/nsfm (I am an adult, but I often feel uncomfortable with that kind of content myself), but I also participate in a few horror fandoms so just... tread lightly if you're sensitive to certain things.
Other blog stuff under the break:
Some fandoms and interests I have that mainly dominate my blog are:
TMA/The Magnus Archives (and Protocol by extension)
Wings of Fire
Rain World
D&D
Birds of all kinds, but especially corvids
Dragons
LGBTQIA+ stuff because I am many flavors of queer myself. Obviously.
Neurodivergent stuff cuz I have ADHD and autism
Art (I mainly do digital art and notebook doodles)
Science
Music (I play bass clarinet :D)
Video games
The occasional LDS or Utah thing (yes, I know, I'm not a very typical Mormon. It does mean I don't swear but I have no problem with someone else swearing if they're not being excessive :))
And whatever other random stuff comes across my brain and/or dash
Some recurring tags (linked below for navigation) on my blog are:
#blue's tma hyperfixation - all of my tma content (excluding most reblogs). Mainly fanart. Also things having to do with my tma hyperfixation, often along the lines of "i wanna hyperfixate but i have a Thing" #blue's beholding stuff - vaguely-tma tag for reblogs where I want to be more subtle about "heh this reminds me of a certain part of The Magnus Archives" when reblogging random posts. Can mean both "Blue is actively beholding stuff" or "Blue's stuff that is related to the Beholding" #blue's catching up on trashposts - all of the stupid things I've said in other places that frankly belong on tumblr. Or me just learning how to use tumblr lol #blue's "sleep meds and frekakhu jfn brkeakgkaft" saga - me forgetting how to function. Mainly via forgetting to take my sleep meds or attempting to type "freaking breakfast", hence the tag name #blue liveblogs about their nose's attempted murder apparently - Similar to the previous tag, started when I got sick in May 2025 and chaos ensued from there. Will probably be used for any future updates on being sick I guess, idk lol #blue's impulsively decided to make an entire amv when they can barely do a 3-minute storyboard - Progress and whatnot on an animation of Transcendental Cha Cha Cha I'm working on. I'll link the final product here when I'm finished with it :D #blue's hubris ig or #bluebris - Me reacting to random posts blowing up #carpposting - Me interacting with the hecking carp meme lol #tumblr go home you're drunk - Tumblr's algorithm being... tumblr. Also a lot of weird tumblr ads #blue drew. woohoo (formerly #bluedles before I realized it was already taken) - Art tag #i'm probably gonna draw this later lol - Anything I see that I might draw later - such as a cute picture of a cat or a bird that I wanna redraw as a certain character, or a fun concept that I may give a fleshed-out design. Anything that has since been drawn will be replaced with #i drew this later lol #thing I drew later lol - Said drawings, either directly reblogged from the inspiration or a separate post with it linked and screenshotted, depending on how I'm feeling. Usually the latter. #reaml (and other tags with "reaml") - Anything related to the previously-mentioned gimmick blog. Further context on @daily-reaml-quotes #tsotd and #the secrets of the dragons - Anything related to the previously-mentioned webcomic. Further context on @the-secrets-of-the-dragons. (Note that #tsotd is apparently shared by a few other fandoms, but frankly it's difficult to find an acronym that DOESN'T have conflicts so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) #corvraptor - corvid-utahraptor (or just general bird-theropod) species thing I made. Feel free to make your own I have no restrictions or anything (I do have some guidelines, though) on the species lol. Blue, my persona, is one themself:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The blog name originated from me saying "My brain is AFK [Away From Keyboard]" to describe my absent-mindedness and I thought it was a good name for a tumblr blog so here we are
Profile picture is my persona drawn over the "crow with a knife" meme
Banner is a drawing of The Archivist as a NightWing (TMAxWoF wheee)
I'm new to tumblr but have watched PM Seymour's videos on it for years, so I think I'm getting a hang of it pretty quickly lol

You're super sweet and your blog is great! 🫶
Have a good rest of your day!
Hello there JJ, one of my hornier mutuals
Thank you, I hope you're havin' a good day too
With the timing I'm guessing this in reply to the #'s I added to the top 10 post so I thought I'd add a little more, jumping off both my tags and tangentially related to a thing mentioned in the post itself.
This might be a disjointed mess if I don't figure out how to make it flow tomorrow
Since following you I've definition learned to be more open and patient with people and more open to some things in media.
In the past when I've seen someone proclaiming how they like "problematic media" in their header or bio they've almost always turned out to be the worst kind of fan. Going out of their way to harasse people because they're uncomfortable with certain topics in media, throwing around slurs, and just being all around assholes.
But you havn't, not only have you just been a decent person from what I've seen, you've also written/shared some really good thematic and literary analysis on these anime/manga I would probably have just avoided at all costs (and in some cases had already been avoiding.)
I've always had this insatiable need to know, to understand.
When I'm confused by something, I want to know more about it so I can atleast understand on a basic level and be able to make a (semi)informed decision on it.
But despite saying this, for the longest time there were still many things I'd basically completely written off, decided I'd never dig into. Which is honestly a bit hypocritical?
I mean, there's this YouTuber I used to watch consistently called NyxFears (I havn't watched her videos in like 3 years, hell I havn't really watched anything on YouTube consistently in over a year, streams and driving have just taken up so much time)
At the time I'd been keeping up she'd cover weird, grotesque, and violent films and remembering back to that all I can think is.
How is the horny worse?
They're both fictional, I know this. Media can give you different view points to see the world from and thus alter the way you see it, it's important to stay aware of this and know that it's fiction, and I am.
Why's the horny worse than the violent?
(Hell some of the films she covered were horry as hell in the weirdest fucking ways too but *waves hand* ignore that)
This is just a dumb realization I've been having every once in a while since I started following.
But yeah, seeing the thoughtful analysis (amidst the torrent of boobs and horny posts) on these anime/manga I'd usually avoid has been interesting.
I'll accepting that the character in this show is infact incredibly fucking trans but the age of these characters with how horny it gets + the incest squigs me the fuck out so I'm still not gonna watch/read it.
Finally, thank you so much for being so on point with tagging basically every anime/manga you reblog consistently. It makes it so easy to mute or look up something whenever I want to see less or more of it.
I've muted a handful of tags for media that makes me uncomfortable, but I've also found some that I actually enjoy, thanks.
...
Uh...

HELLO EVERYONE THE CHRISTMAS BOY IS DONE
insane ramblings abt this below the cut
a huge part of making this is obviously just color editing like the base coat is the same cuz i am NOT drawing but i rlly like how many aspects i didnt only take from christmas robin but christmas chrom as well
like from robin you can see the uh. apron thing. also the stars on the buttons, and the right boot specifically. some of the fur trim is from robin but most of it is from chrom even tho the texture is different because it already had a curved shape that was easier to work with
the chrom elements are the coattail pattern in which i frankensteined chrom's on there and covered the shitty flow with the ribbons (which are taken from christmas lissa!). the brooch on the top left button is also chrom's, as well as the left boot and the cuff on the right boot. why two different boots? because i wanted to. you may note that the pants are also different, and are, in fact, brave chrom's pants. i didn't only want to add minor details and call it a day hence the change in pants and boots to add some difference to it from base morgan. also chrobin win but like. you know me. you know.
also i DID in fact make his hair slightly longer. wanted to make it messier but then realized messing with the base hair would be horrible so i drew some. i had to draw some minor elements besides especially on the boots n pants to slot them together, since brave chrom has these uhhh shin guards on his boots that make a huge gap between the boots' v shape otherwise so i added some there. i also tweaked shading where i frankensteined the coattails because otherwise it just looked bad.
i'm not gonna point out all the recoloring like you can tell the pants arent blue anymore you have eyes.
all around!! I'm super happy with how this turned out even if it took five billion hours!! (more like. 6 hours. yeah six hours sounds right).
i've never done an edit this major before and it was a ton of fun!! thank you salem for the random suggestion of "christmas morgan" that somehow triggered my innate hubris.

Part of The Band - Chapter 21: Copy
ive been a terrible slacker with uploading potb chapters here lol. instead of going back and uploading every chapter that i've missed here (a LOT of them) im just gonna keep going from where we're at. i suggest reading on AO3 to get the full experience!
The gang takes a promotional day for the band. Mitzi draws a flyer design. The gang meets a new face.
Read it on AO3!
---
Dook sits on the couch of the band room next to Mitzi, who's been drawing a flyer idea for a while now. They're taking a "promotional" day today at practice. Everyone older than Mitzi has been tasked with piles of newspapers, scouring the wanted ads for anyone in need of a band. Billy Bob had suggested they start with lower stakes– even the best bands have to start playing in someone's garage.
"Man, maybe we've got this all wrong," Beach Bear says. "I've seen more ads for clowns for kids' birthday parties than I have for anyone who actually needs a band." He scoffs, adjusting his position in the chair to be even more lopsided than before.
"What, you wanna get into kid's entertainment?" Fatz raises an eyebrow at him.
"No," Beach Bear smirks, "I think we should all become clowns."
Looney Bird laughs. "You'd be a terrible clown, Beach Bear," he chimes in.
"Yeah, you would know, wouldn't ya?" Beach Bear tells him. "You already look like a clown."
"Dook has the nose already," Mitzi adds.
Dook gasps, a hand moving to cover his nose. "It's not that big," he insists. "And it ain't red!"
"Keep blushing like that and it will be soon," Beach Bear teases. Dook doesn't respond, but does in fact grow redder upon hearing it.
"Look," Mitzi says, putting down the colored pencil she was using. She proudly lifts up the paper to show everyone her design. It's a flyer advertising the Rock-afire Explosion– the background is a bright explosion pattern, with the text in vibrant purple and red letters.
"Woah," Dook murmurs.
"Nice job, Mitzi!" Beach Bear exclaims, taking the flyer from her to look at it closer. "We can totally put these up around town."
"We've gotta make copies, then," Billy Bob says.
"Sounds like a trip to the store," Fatz replies.
"Oh! I wanna ride in the front!" Mitzi stands excitedly, already making her way to the door.
·–—–·
The office supply store is not that large, and never very crowded. The store is lined with racks of paper, stationary, scissors, and so on. Near the back wall, a single employee sits bored by the register. Sitting in the center of the store, the coveted copier machine– by their luck, the one thing in the store already occupied.
The group mostly files in behind the cat at the machine, doing their best not to crowd him. Looney Bird and Mitzi wander off to check out the other fixtures of the store. The employee at the register has a radio set up, the sound of the Bee Gees quietly pouring out into the rest of the store. Besides that and the sound of the copy machine, it's dead quiet in the store.
Dook stares at the promotional posters on the wall. This store has a mascot, a tiger holding a cardboard box, promoting that you can send mail from the store. Dook looks back over to the cashier, a small orange cat. Kind of a difference. He looks back at the cat using the copier machine. He's lanky, taller than Dook by a bit but definitely shorter than Beach Bear. He's mostly black, with white fur accenting his ears and hands. He's wearing a T-shirt and jeans, a baseball cap sat backward on his head. The cap has a word embroidered on it: "Swingers."
Dook cocks his head, trying to get a better look at what he's making so many copies of. It's brightly colored, but he can't make out the text. Without thinking, he takes a step forward, trying to get a better look. The cat's ear twitches, and he glances over his shoulder to address the group.
"Oh–! Sorry, I didn't realize how long this'd take." He glances back at the machine. "I shouldn't be too much longer."
"What're you making?" Dook asks.
"Oh, just some flyers for work," the cat replies. He pulls one from the machine and hands it to Dook.
"Showbiz Pizza Place?" Beach Bear reads from over his shoulder. "Never heard of it."
"That's because it's new," the cat says. "Not opened yet. My boss is in the restaurant business, and he's trying to start a franchise sort of situation."
"Interesting boss," Dook murmurs, still staring at the flyer.
"What are you guys making?" The cat continues. "If you don't mind."
"Flyers, too," Beach Bear says, nudging Fatz. Fatz hands the cat Mitzi's flyer.
He looks it over. "You're a band?"
"It's not clear from the flyer?" Billy Bob asks.
"It's just hard to tell past..." He taps the drawing of an explosion on the page. "Are you any good?"
"It's not clear from the flyer?" Beach Bear says, gesturing toward the same explosion.
The cat laughs. "We're looking for a band to perform at Showbiz," he explains. "You should sign up. Keep the flyer."
The copier finally finishes, and the cat picks up the stack of papers it's produced. "I've gotta run," he says, already moving for the door, "but keep us in mind! You could be just what the boss is looking for!"
The front door swings shut, and he's gone.
Dook looks down at the flyer once more, an address listed at the bottom. "Maybe we will."

2024 February Media Post Thingy : Featuring Movies Also
I've never really liked doing editing " do-overs". i think if this was like a normal year with no leaping ( As of starting this post a couple of minutes ago ( 4:51 PM ) , i only just learned that this year was a leap year? Just goes to show how little i pay attention..! But yea, on topic, on topic, i don't look back to edit these kind of thought pieces after i write them, it'd feel odd to do so, ,and january's post was a mile and a half to write , so, after finishing the Big Thing for this year, i'm starting the writing on this on the 28th so i dont have to finish it all in one sitting this time. I'm not sure when i'll drop or pick up on it, and its not like, done Live with the month, so the actual timeline of things won't be completely perfectly accurate, but anyways : the things covered here are in rough sequencial order, mostly focused around New Media i've tried this month, with an added blurb about anything ive revisited this year at the very end. I'll try to add a blurb about everything, but no guarentees. Also, i said i'd have more screenshots to share, but i forgot again. A significant number of games here were also on 3ds which i have no good way to get screenshots for. planning is hard This month was heavily characterized by the absolutely wonderful time i had for my birthday and the days surrounding it, because wow, am i in love with my boyfriend! after many, many months spent long distance, i'm extremely glad to say that the first few days of this month were absolutely heavenly, and i do absolutely "get" all the lovey dovey emotional stuff that surrounds it. While he was over, we got to watch a whole bunch of different movies and such, and most of the video game focus was directed towards one big game, being God Of War Ragnarok, which is an absolute behemoth of a triple a game and also one aattached to the very sentimental god of war that i've also shared with him in the past ( they're some of his favorite games of all time, and he's especially knowledge on Norse stuff, so it's cute to listen to him ramble about it whenever actual mythology stuff comes up. Its absolutely adorable the way his voice lights up..! ) So, you'd expect the first piece of media i got through this month would be God of War Ragnarok, after all the time i've spent hyping it up already, while it's still fresh in my mind as of typing, And i'm on a massive, sentimental tangent on it, But...! TRUMP VS ILLUMINATI < Least Romantic Movie I've Personally Made Out With Someone Over >
Tumblr media
theres not all that much to say on this movie as the title'd show, actually, and, obviously, the movie's a complete joke, through and through ( the titular protagonist isn't even the real deal, he's just a clone of the guy who lives on mars for whatever reason as the last human alive (?) ); and it's so ameturishly put together that i'm almost certain the entire scripting process of it was put together by looking at the title of the movie and quipping in a discord call brainstorming for a couple of hours, but it's absolutely great for virgining couples beccause you'll want to watch the movie for a bit, a bit that's been going on for i want to say little over three quarters of a year, but then, when you actually get to watching, it, you'lll both decide unilaterally to make out sloppy style instead of watching the movie, wow!
Tumblr media
by the way, most of the movie is just weird little stock models talking at each other for what i rememeber being 50 or so minutes. i dont tihnk this is a good movie buut i thought itd be funny to bring up because in a shirtless daze after watching it i had the mortifying realization that this shitty movie was gonna be on the top of my media diary if i chose to go through with it . so here it is ! ! ! CATS & DOGS < tulpa movie >
Tumblr media
idk what to blurb about this movie i think its entertainment value comes from the varied" WHAT DOES THIS IMPLYYY " moments in the movie and how like
excessively silly it is im not sure if it was this movie in particular but i have a very specific anecdote of this movie as a child before my parents divorce where i was actually Forced to watch it for some reason with my dad and with an anecdote like that the only thing i can think to say about it is that i think i actually enjoyed it more then Wonka theres some puppetry with the cat villain in this movie thats actually pretty endearing actually. its a decently entertaining spy movie. DOCTOR STRANGE
Tumblr media
not having a title for this one isnt like reverence or anything i still watched this with my boyfriend in our little place and it was very enjoyable, and, in particualr, this was actually the first movie i watched of this list that i actually wanted to seek out to watch, actually! i've never been an mcu guy ( And, if you expect my movie reviews to professionalize, with like, research on the actors anything, you're dead wrong, i think , also. i think when it comes to assosiating characters with their actors or whatever celebrity or director or whatever, i just. .dont do that. i can see why normal people do but i dont have that built into me. so if i refer to a character it'll be for their character. ) i think this is a good movie i think this is a neat movie i think this a very pretty movie and i like mister stranges arch alot and i think it was really well characterized and enjoyable and id watch this movie again sometime maybe. im not a live action head but i think this movie just looks cool and is well presented in general. i think as an asshole mister strange is very watchable which is unusal for me cus i wince whenever characters do a thing thats like regrettable like noooo dont do that like an autistic weirdo but that wasnt really a problem with me for this movie i think its cool how this prick gets grounded by the fantastical shit in the movie and i think his little mini arch over the movie really stands out as a good character piece. thats all i have to say about it as someone who doesnt super hero movie this movie movies really good and stands on its own. i think its cool. i think this is a very enjoyable movie. i think people should watch it if theyre on the fence on it beingg mcu bc i dont think its like thoose other movies at all. im repeating myself. w/e Alot of early febuaary is characterized by movies bc i want to make it clear that the main game i played in that arch of time was God of War, and there were very much Not Media things that were more pressing for my time. lol VIDEO GAMES!!!! VIDEOVERSE < Most Heartwarming Eboy Game >
Tumblr media
the docism i picked for this game sounds demeaning but thhis game is absolutely worth i think everyones time and if theres a game from febuary i'd make as a general reccomendation to my friends, it'd be this one, i think! it's an absolutely heartwarming narrative about an early 2000s era internet community that's being shut down, and its very resonant to at least Me, as a wii u / 3ds era fan
Tumblr media
though it kinda melds that kinda stuff with a more early internet aestetic , which i think the combo works Really Well in terms of like vibe alone. the game is very naked with how it presents an early internet community and id describe it as being like hypnospace outlaw but without you the player being in the seat of like an internet moderator. Like you can moderate in the game a little bit but it's much less of a focus compared to the being in a game community with your friend aspect
Tumblr media
this games a very well executed narrative about this emmet guy ( in the image above this one, he's on the far left of the screen ) and playing it as the first non GOW game of the week was definitely a choice i made that made me kinda sappy and clingy ( since its very much about the internet anxiety of losing a bunch of friends you care about due to dumb internet social media crap, which feels pretty well timed with this whole tumblr drama going on. also, as someone in a long distance relationship, the romance thing in this game also is pretty relatable in parts )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
idk! its a very short game. i played it on deck and it was a very short but sweet pair of game sessions. i think if u like what you see here i reccomend giving it a shot if you're looking for a visual novel . ithink it is cute. if you like cute things this game is for Cute PRINCESS REMEDY IN A WORLD OF HURT < cute em' up where nobody has to die ! >
Tumblr media
i actually falsely appraised this as gameboy color style when its supposed to be dos evokative. i knew i was missing something.
Tumblr media
this is a free top down shmup game from steam about a cute healer girl! the game has really cute writing and is about an hour long. i think the writing makes it worth giving a try if you have an afternoon! the final boss is litearlly a guy with Every Disease that also has a refrence to ff6, so me being charmed by this game was kind of a given. Oops! I think more people should look at this game! it's worth it !
Tumblr media
also, since everyone in the world of hurt has some kind of injury for you to remedy, some of the ones that get picked out are pretty amusing, also. its usually structured around " heres the problem with me " dialogue and " thank goodness im better " dialogue. this game is also for the gays because u can marry whoever you want after the credits. Yay! SUPER MONKEY BALL 3D < worst game icon ive ever seen for a video game award >
Tumblr media
the games just kind of mediocre and the only reason i downloaded it is bc it was on 3ds and i just want to point out the games icon is Just a low resolution picture of ai ais face on a white bg. i think thats funny but the games so easy that thats pretty much the only novelty you'll extract of it if youre a monkey ball fan. oops .
Tumblr media
something like this ive spent longer trying to find this games home menu icon then thinking about the game after playing it sorry i dodnt think this game is worth that just kind of sad
MEGAMAN XTREME
Tumblr media
no reverence for this either pretty much all the games thatre gonna be talked about thatre on 3ds were just me looking through hshop slightly interested in something to do while waiting for my bf to wake up for more gow
Tumblr media
all i can really say is that this game is a gameboy demake of the x games thats just slightly worse and going in with that expectation is correct but also its just Really annoying sometimes is very much a game where the levels are short and easy and the boss fights are kind of choppily designed and difficult and i think finishing this game was kind of more of an act of stubbornness then anything. theres this one boss second to last from sigma thats just killing this boss that spams 4 nearly undodgable spammy fast projectiles while you're on two tiny platforms over death spikes and i think that kind of speaks for how much id reccomend this ( not at all ) i think this is the angriest ive been at a game in a bit actually remembering it . i think i said a funny misnomer about it but i dont remember. something about this contributing to why mega man fucking died or something. im realizing i didnt actually consume alot of good media this month took a break writing this on leap day and umm FIRE EMBLEM WARRIORS ( The 3ds version ) < POPCORN VIDEO GAME >
Tumblr media
as someone whose never played a dynasty warriors type game this was actually a little less boring then i was expecting it ? you'd assume picking the switch or wii u version would be more ideal, but, as someone whose favorite console is the 3ds , and considering it'd take less time to download to my system, i ended up picking this version. it actually runs pretty well and my only real complaint is that the character i wanted to play as is thuroughly stuck into the post game ( Celica from FE echoes ).
Tumblr media
functionally this is kind of just a game that exists to be a stim device while you're in like a voice call or something but at that its pretty good from what ive played. used minerva for most of it and it wasnt too hard but not especially annoying either. its okay. i never got to unlock celica though ( bummed out ) and its not bad at all for somemthing i pretty much only played to pass the time between when my BF was awake to watch me play god of war, which it succeeded at. ive played every FE naturally available on the 3ds. TOM AND JERRY WILL WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Tumblr media
huh what happened howd this happen
Tumblr media
guh MARIO MAKER 3DS
Tumblr media
game i actually owned legitimately that i forgot i did. technically since the games are going down in a month from now this is my way on reminicing on Maker in general , but i mostly just reflected back on itt as a cute wii u memory and that cute packet that comes boxed with the game. the 100 or so challenge levels in this are neat but not Especially special. kind of existed to pad out the games i've tried and finished this year so far to an even 15. its not bad or anything, it did remind me of a few interactions i didnt know about before. maybe sometime before maker 2 goes down ill finish making that super world i started on when the game was new... putting all my thoughts togetherrrrr GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK
Tumblr media
Igod of war ragnarok is pretty cool. for context, im pretty sure the first game of the i wanna say ps4 " duo " of norse GOW games are the two video games that both started me on my ps4 journey recently and got me and my boyfriend together? which i think is very sweet its also very unexpected cus other then being a soft mythology nut i dont see how id get into these kinds of games naturally, considering i'm less genre savvy when it comes to i guess " modern-style " story focused 3d adventures. Considering i'm a nintendo head, these could count as some of the only super duper gamerhead games i've ever played? though i don't know if it means anything when i say that . i think this game definitely needs the groundwork of the first gow to stand up, but, thats not a bad thing, its a very well thought out start to end NARRATIVE, and its a really good one at that. lots of well thought out character interactions and setpieces,a friend of mine described it as a universal ride-style game , and , in terms of linearity, it kind of IS that, but in like the most postive way i can think of in terms of the kinds of games i play , this is probably the drop-dead most prettiest game i've ever looked at from start to finish ( When it comes to detail and realism, i mean. .i think its very pretty to just look at the environments n stuff ) god of war ragnarok is pretty cool. for context, im pretty sure the first game of the i wanna say ps4 " duo " of norse GOW games are the two video games that both started me on my ps4 journey recently and got me and my boyfriend together? which i think is very sweet its also very unexpected cus other then being a soft mythology nut i dont see how id get into these kinds of games naturally, considering i'm less genre savvy when it comes to i guess " modern-style " story focused 3d adventures.

Tumblr media
I've heard of games that take up entire segments of people's lives for months , and while i've played lots of " longer " games, gow despite being shorter then something like SMT 4 is definitely one of the first games i've played thats been defined like that to me. i dont wanna say too much on the plot because i think these games are worth playing back to back on their own merits, though for me the experience definitely was raised above by , you know, sharing it with the love of my life, haha. its very cute to listen to someone visibly light up when talking about a game and its definitely my boyfriends infectiousness for the game that motivated me to keep coming back to it and dig for all the little details, even if i play 3d games like this like a game's journalist.... but yea god of war is really good i dont want to spoil anything on it but even if you haavent played the past games but have a ps4 and an appreciation for storytelling, i'd definitely reccomend it. Surprisingly cozy, heartfelt story on parenting and war and lingering regret n junk. also i like mimir alot hes silly and brok theres alot of characters in this i like alot

House With Nearly 300 Classic Cars on 18 Acres Is One Rough Diamond For $400K! Everything Uou’ve Wished For, OR Your Worst Nightmare?
— By James Gilboy | January 30, 2024
Tumblr media
Via Zillow
Owning a Home, a Garage, a Bunch of Land for Hooning on, and More Classic Cars than you can count is all our common dream. Well, if you can get a mortgage for the $400,000 property listed on Zillow right now, that dream can be your reality. But like every dream, this one's gonna take work to realize, because boy is this place an unpolished gem.
Currently for sale in Canaan, New Hampshire near the Vermont border, this property is aimed directly at all of us. "ARE YOU A CAR ENTHUSIAST?" opens the ad, which is for the grounds of a defunct classic car boneyard called Parts of the Past. The 18-acre site is littered with close to 300 classics in varying conditions, some of them seemingly in good shape. Others... You'd better be up to date on your tetanus shots.

Parts of the Past Grounds. Zillow
From what few photos of the cars there are, it looks like the majority are pre-1970 and mainly if not all American makes. I spy some old Chryslers, a DeSoto, and a Nash Metropolitan, but most are too distant to be instantly recognizable. A pile of doors suggests many may have been picked for parts already, so there's no telling how complete most of the cars are. Some may just be decaying shells, while others could be what auctioneers like to call "restoration opportunities."
Going by the surprising bounty at the overgrown former AMC dealer in North Carolina, more of them may be in good shape than we think. But even taking inventory of the cars on the lot and their condition would be a months-long process if it's not your full-time job. Whether you want to part them out to maximize your return on investment or liquidate it all, you've got a Sisyphean task ahead of you.

House on the Grounds of Parts of the Past. Zillow
Even if you want to use the onsite garage to restore some, and enjoy the forested land for all it's worth, you're still gonna have to figure out what to do with the house. It's a one-bedroom, three-bathroom home that's sold as a "post and beam"-style affair. That may be overselling what looks like an incomplete major renovation, with exposed studs in almost every room and an almost totally unfinished bathroom. I've lived in a place like this, and it sucks even more than those Modern Farmhouse-style places your least interesting neighbor lives in.
Between the house and collection of unknown cars, it's hard to say whether this place is really worth $400,000. Is it more than the sum of its parts, or does it even add up to that in the first place? That's for people who get boots on the ground to decide. Me, I'd sooner take one running car and a livable house, but to each their own.

🎧 NOW PLAYING: THOMAS RHETT - ABOUT A WOMAN (FROM A SMALL TOWN)
yay, finally!!! i'm back!!
i haven't kept up with his music the last few years, even though he's the country artist i listen to & enjoy the most.
ılı.lıllılıı.ıllı
i still love the life changes album (thanks matt), i liked center point road but i don't often go back to it, i enjoyed country again a bit more, especially certain songs (put it on ice !!!!!!!!!! what's your country song... ya heard... love u so bad), and i don't think i even listened to where we started. maybe the song with katy perry, but that's it. i can't believe how many records he's released since then...
and i always forget i saw him on the life changes tour 🥹 everything pre-2020 feels like a different life
ılı.lıllılıı.ıllı
standout songs
HE FKN DID IT AGAIN 😭 the SECOND that song started i was like. DAMN. THATS MY FKN SONG.
i'm OBSESSED. i've somehow already overplayed it. i can't help it. this has happened so many times with him, songs like notice, life changes, gateway love... tug at my heart strings, he just know exactly how to do it. in a way that most country songs & artists don't do it for me, at least not repeatedly.
100% fav song on the album, and one of my faves out of all his songs.
◃◃   ||   ▹▹
okay i'm not normally a fan of repurposing someone else's songs or samples or interpolations or whatever but HELLO??? THIS ONE I CAN GET BEHIND!!!
the lyric changes are great, the way the beat hits is ADDICTIVE, i love love love.
it's always gonna be weird to hear him sing about breakups, it's so unnatural and i'm glad for that 🙈
◃◃   ||   ▹▹
that entire song but especially the chorus scratches an itch in my brain, i can't explain but it's so good. i'm unfortunately a sucker for those "she's a wine girl he's a whiskey boy" songs 😭 it has nothing to do with me i'm a whiskey girl myself LMAO but i just love that vibe in country, especially with him and he does those SO well
"i'm that guy you're that girl in that song" thaaat part HITS
"just like magic" and it literally sounds like magic 😭✨💛
and the backing vocals....... yum. chef's kiss. no notes
◃◃   ||   ▹▹
yeah so i literally started a playlist called "this is how i want to be loved" after hearing this song the first time 🙃
think that pretty much says it all
◃◃   ||   ▹▹
this sounds like a classic thomas rhett song, like i’ve heard it before. and i mean that in the best way possible
ılı.lıllılıı.ıllı
standout lyrics
i got a cold beer bottle microphone (back to blue) makes me smile 😭 one of the reasons why i love him & his songs so much is bc it's so simple, easy life, fun little joys, it's relatable and endearing and that lyric kind of showcases that perfectly
you gave this old wild horse a home, the only plan i had was passing through (i could spend forever loving you) 🥺🥺🥺
can't think of others rn but if i do i will add them later
ılı.lıllılıı.ıllı
final thoughts:
i unfortunately don't love the cover of the deluxe version, i think the main edition is cooler and i wish he had kept it for both, like he's done each time before (or just changed the background colour like he did with tangled up).
side note i'm adding after i had already written this: i just saw that he released YET ANOTHER version of the album... alright tommy boy. what are we doing 🤔 i do love the cover of that one more so that's a plus, and i see there are some additional songs. i will listen to them soon but i don't think i will comment, unless i absolutely fall in love with them or something.
also, i've gotten used to the order of songs of the deluxe version, so i honestly could never go back to the regular one. i didn't even realize they were different, i just automatically went to the deluxe (as i usually do) since it had more songs and i wanted to hear them all (again, that was before i saw the newer deluxe lmao). i hate when artists switch up the song order like that, it messes up the whole rhythm for me 😔
BUT, i still enjoyed this album and will continue to enjoy it, simply because it's his. there's something about him and his music that just touches my heart, it's so sweet, it's fun, i love the way he loves his woman, his family, it's just simple joyful and lovely country music 🥹
ılı.lıllılıı.ıllı
little special addition because i just found this in my screenshots and i think it belongs on this post 😭
Tumblr media
i love these two men. i love that they're friends. i love country music and country boys :)

So I'm an admin for 2 different leagues in Music League right now. These are my 3rd and 4th leagues that I have made, and I really like both of them. They are both more niche leagues than the common themes you see. The first one does have specific criteria, ie. location, timeframe, and right now I'm still at the point where I can vote without listening to the playlist as I've listened to all that music before when I was in highschool/college and wanted to celebrate it with a league. Not everyone seems to understand the criteria, so they stick out and it's easy to tell what not to vote for. The other one isn't so easy to pin down as it has more to do with vibes, metaphor etc. It is different from those, pick a song that makes you feel joy/anger/invincible etc. leagues. That one has made some really interesting playlists and I'm looking forward to them as it goes on. We just started submitting songs for round 3 right today. I've had a few people bounce from the league already, and so far they've all been immediately replaced by others.
Usually when people leave, they have lives. They are usually too busy, or maybe they joined too many leagues and are overwhelmed. For instance, there is another league I joined when it was just created and there was only a handful of people, but now there is 50 people for some reason with 35 votes, and idk, it just seems too much for me. I didn't even get through the playlist before voting, and apparently my song is doing well, so I may stick it out for a bit. So we'll see. I had one player yesterday say they didn't like the music. I thought that one was a bit odd as the music that we're looking for is described, but maybe they just wanted to try it out and realized it wasn't for them. I can get that. But the one that sticks out to me was from earlier today.
A player left my league because "15 votes to give is too many". I laughed audibly when I read that. The weird thing is that it's a 25 person league, so you can't even hand out a point to everyone; you have to be selective. The league was originally made for 20 people with 10 votes, which is the default for Music League. Someone I invited was in the other league of mine, and originally declined the invite but reconsidered but by then the entries were filled, so I decided to add a few extra spots and re-invited her, which she accepted. So with the adding of 5 extra spots, I put in 5 extra points. I plan to lower back down to 10 points eventually once more people leave the league as they inevitably do.
Anyway, the player also left a message in the league chat that said "Yikes, players giving songs 4-6 votes (out of 15) is heavily disproportionate. Sorry, I’m gonna split and look for a league with more parity. Thx!". To be honest, I do have the cap at 5 points max for a song, which I feel is fair as that's only a third of your points and you still have most of your points to award other songs/players. I remember when I first joined Music League, someone put all their points on a friend's song and that player was like 50/60 points ahead of everyone in no time and it didn't feel fair to me. Though, I'm always of the opinion that you should support your faves in all things. I'm also a big supporter of owning physical media as well. Anyway, how players wish to award points is their prerogative. Some people play the game as a competition, which I do sometimes, and try to use points strategically. Perhaps others enjoy a really tight competition if everyone just votes 1 or 2 votes per song. Some people just want to have fun and don't care about the points and just go for their favourites. Idk his reasoning sounded ridiculous to me and I just had to rant.

oh PLS never apologize, i am also a professional yapper. i also had every intention of getting off work and writing but my head hurt and my cat is being so needy and now is not the time. i am off the next two days tho so better luck between now and then hopefully! this will probably be my last ask so i can try and sleep off some of this nonsense pain (ty ty for bearing with me, crossing my fingers that you can write soon!!) but if you say smth super interesting then i might be around again who knows
law ships hmmmmmm. idk? lawlu was the big one but that takes a backseat these days. i think everything i enjoy is platonic with him. i could talk so much abt this but i have no idea where you are in dressrosa so i will hold my tongue :) bother me again later and i will gladly elaborate
only now reading through do i realize i said AUs... as in multiple. sigh that was supposed to be singular. that's ok i had so much fun reading through your rambling :) doctor and lawyer is very specific and that isn't even on the acesabo specific ones yet hmmm. sitting here juggling so many options in hand. i have a lot to think about
the ichiji polyship is rly fun and also hilarious because i was gonna bring up my favorite op rarepair that also involves a vinsmoke but held my tongue. you were not kidding about the 'knows many spoilers' from earlier. in honor of that lemme hit you with my second fav wlw in op: rebecca/vivi. i. love rebecca. such a good character. such a goooooood narrative foil to vivi like i could write essays about the foil concepts for them and how everyone who (unjustly imo!!!) dislikes rebecca just doesn't understand her character as a narrative foil to vivi. but also. cute women who can relate to each other's trauma yaaaay <3 i also love women. op needs more wlw content
circling back around to fic recs! i don't want to out myself lmaooo this is so hard also because we have so many things in common with fic but i get nervous that i might rec something super out there so i'm gonna reel it in. but before that. i'm rereading the part of your response that had me biting my lips rolling on the floor soooo
after the exchange PLS remind me about the fic concept because i have a large jumble of notes i will throw at you. i never thought i would write a soulmate au but i got hit with a concept out of nowhere a couple years back and now i am committed to this one even if it's grown far larger than simply "that" type of au. its (so far) got your superpowers, revolution, dystopia-feel, what feels like random but cohesive supporting cast. it's ace "the only thing that has kept me alive and breathing is knowing i have someone out there meant for me" and sabo "soulmates are stupid, i want to love someone on purpose and not because i'm predestined to or whatever". the thesis is "what happens to one soulmate when the other half of the pair dies" but because it's me no one actually dies (stays dead i mean coughcough) and yet the lasting repercussions carry the rest of the story. i've been aimlessly adding pages of notes w/o committing to it but i neeeeeed to bc i know it will be so good so!! if you are interested yeaaa bother me down the line and i'll hook you up (;
the fic i was going to recommend appears to not be on ffn anymore which is so awwww :( wayback machine only has the first and last chapter sighhhhh so this one is on hold. will ask around and see if anyone has it saved
in the meantime lemme hit you with what was going to be my second rec (for options! i will add one more this means). red moon by leafyxemy archiveofourown(.)org/works/6703183 superb soulmate au no notes. one note vampires bonus!!
for fantasy: the curse breaker by shieru archiveofourown(.)org/works/12628194
if by chance you have read both of these then i have a third modern au waiting in the wings >:) but i think this is long enough already
i understand ur pain so deeply.. hope you sleep well!! and yes i will 100% bother u later about that. rn im doing a reread of one piece to refresh my memory/take notes so i actually remember shit so its gonna take.. a bit. for me to get back to dressrosa i will be real. especially with the notes. sigh. BUT whatever i love to talk about areas of the story im not at yet anyways.
lawlus a classic. but very fair on the platonic dynamics preference.. mad respect.
im glad u liked reading abt my thoughts!! and honestly im glad you accidentally asked for multiple because i am TERRIBLE at picking just one favorite of literally anything in the world. i like so many things and which i like the 'most' varies literally from hour to hour.
rebecca/vivi sounds so interesting. its one of those ships i can see as parallels but i kinda struggle figuring out a dynamic for methinks. theyre both characters that r like. part of why i wanted to do my reread bc i always felt like i missed so much of what made (vivi at least) fun!! id love to hear more of ur thoughts on them (or other ships! like your left unnamed first favorite wlw ship..) later :3
i say later partly bc its really easier to talk ships and more specific stuff in dms or on discord lol. also. op DOES need more wlw content so much. i rlly gotta get on my grind to figure out what ships i like thatways bc man. it is a goddamn travesty i dont really care for most of them atm.
i would love love love to hear abt your fic that sounds. well not really my cup of tea admittedly. like i said soulmate aus are tricky. but im super down to give it a shot!! any premise can work beautifully rlly if u have love for it & i can admire the coolness regardless..
i have not read either of those fics tho ive seen them in passing before so ill take a look when i sit down to read later :3 very excited if only because looking at the summary. i really cant resist a fic that calls ace 'acey'. fills me with a deep joy. feel free to send the last modern au too tho!!
