Your reading about jungkook was beautiful and very accurate about his personality wow 👏🏻 Could you do one about his love life? His kinks and everything lol

"Jungkook’s love life & spicy secrets a tarot tea party ft. aphrodite, astrology shade, and a peek under the military uniform (respectfully.)"

a sassy, flirty, tarot-style Tumblr deep dive. gloves off, lipstick on.

Ok babes, aphrodite showed up in stilettos with a clipboard and said: “let’s talk about jungkook’s heart... and his hips.”

here’s what we’ve got. pull up a velvet seat, grab a cinnamon latte, and let’s break it down:

astro deck energy check:

Gemini reversed – his mind is chaotic but he’s keeping it on lockdown. mixed signals? you bet. but it’s not because he’s playing games it’s because he’s lowkey confused af about what he wants… or not ready to say it aloud.

Capricorn – daddy energy, slow burn, master planner.

Mercury – mental stimulation is foreplay, period.

Libra reversed – struggling with balance in relationships or feeling unseen... maybe even hiding behind charm to avoid real intimacy.

in other words? he’s got options, but he’s not giving his heart to just anyone. he’s all brains, brooding ambition, and secret softness served with a side of “prove you deserve me.”

(Honestly I feel like this makes sense at this point he has gotten so big in terms of popularity and notoriety. That having so many options of who he can date or be with would probably make it even harder. On top of just not knowing who it would be safe to give a shot to and who it wouldn't be safe to get a shot too. Because you never know when you're that rich and that famous on who's trying to date you cuz they don't even like you, who's trying to date you because they're a fan, who's trying to date you for bragging rights etc. It just gets a lot harder. Like the reason why the saying More Money More Problems exist isn't because like the money itself is an issue it's because the people around you might start acting a certain way money and fame brings out people's true characters and it's not just the person who's making the money or becoming famous but the people around them or the people who try to surround them. Makes it a lot harder to figure out where the snakes in the camp are.)

Where’s jungkook at romantically rn?

ace of pentacles + chariot + knight of pentacles = he’s focused on long-term goals, stability, and moving forward intentionally. love isn’t off the table, but his energy is saying:

"If you can't match my ambition or catch up with my goals. I don't want it."

five of pentacles + six of wands reversed + sun reversed = lowkey lonely, y’all. he might be smiling for the camera, but his heart? not feeling 100% seen.

he’s not desperate but he’s craving real connection. not hookups, not flings—something that feels safe, sacred, and private.

but here’s the thing: he’s been burned. there’s mistrust. and right now? the armor’s on, even if he’s craving softness underneath.

Is there someone special?

wheel of fortune reversed + four of cups reversed + page of pentacles reversed = if someone is in the picture, it’s not fully locked in.

this gives “we’re talking but I’m not sure where it’s going” or “we had a vibe but timing said no.”

OR he’s got someone In Mind but is choosing to wait until he’s out of the army to even explore it properly.

Translation: He's Not Actively Dating Rn, But He Is Thinking About Love. Wanting Something Deep—but On His Terms And Timing.

What does he look for in a partner?

ten of pentacles + four of wands + high priestess reversed

he wants a lover and a life partner. he’s not out here just dating for fun he wants someone who’s gonna build a legacy with him. Someone private, intuitive, emotionally intelligent, but also fun and grounded.

Emotional intelligence is a must.

Loyalty > popularity.

Sensual but sacred energy.

Someone who understands both his public persona and private soul.

he wants to feel understood and wanted beyond the idol status. someone who can handle the quiet moments and also throw down in a pillow fight or late-night jam session.

and now... the spicy stuff. what’s he into?

(oh honey. sit down.)

knight of wands + nine of cups reversed + five of swords + ten of wands

this man has desires. deep ones. intense ones. maybe even a little taboo.

but he doesn’t just want heat he wants emotional submission. like, he gets off on the mental & emotional tension just as much as the physical.

kink-wise?

Power dynamics. slight dom lean, but not controlling more like: “I want to take care of you… but you better listen.”

Praise kink + control kink.

Delayed gratification. He LIVES for the tease.

Overstimulation, maybe? (That 10 of wands says: don’t tap out yet.)

Secret exhibitionism. He may be private but... doing risky things quietly? That’s a whole other thrill.

but here’s the kicker he needs to feel emotionally safe to unleash it. if he doesn't trust you? you get missionary and lights off. if he does? you're in for a night that ends at sunrise.

SO OVERVIEW:

Jungkook's heart:

Quiet, Complicated, Secretly Yearning For Forever. He’s Tired Of Shallow Love And Games. He Wants To Build Something Real. Might Have His Eye On Someone, But Timing (Or Army Life) Is Slowing The Roll.

Jungkook's type:

Emotionally deep, grounded, mysterious but affectionate. Someone who brings comfort and chaos in just the right amounts.

Jungkook’s bedroom playlist?

It’s giving The Weeknd meets Taemin with a sprinkle of “you better not tap out yet.”

tag yourself: are you the ten of pentacles to his lonely knight of pentacles or just another reversed page in his inbox?

Let’s manifest for the women who gets to find out.

Do you think you could write a smau with Yuki or Daniel with a male reader who is like 6'-6'4 and they kinda have a gay panic moment and reader is just subtly flirting with them through captions and comments...

If not than that's ok, have a great day/night

ahhhhh this is such a cute idea, I went with Danny ric for this one cause the yuki to 6'4 reader height difference would be too mean 😭

y/nfsnweek

y/nfsnweek new shoot coming out @/alphatauri

y/nfsnweek excited to meet all the cool guys at @/vcarbf1team

vcarbf1team we're excited to meet you!! username YOU'RE MEETING DANIEL AND YUKI?? y/nfsnweek perks of the job 🤷‍♂️

username HELLO??? father what do you mean you're modelling for an f1 team??

username girl they were a fashion brand first 😭

username omg does this mean Y/n's going to a race? He has to right?

username every time I find out abt this man's height I need to log off cause WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS CUTIE IS FUCKING 6'4???

username tall king

username imagine him next to Yuki 😂

username they wouldn't even fit in the camera screen together 💀

vcarbf1team

vcarbf1team our drivers through the eyes of @/y/nfsnweek

y/nfsnweek need a pass for every race pls

vcarbf1team we got you king 💪

yukitsunoda no comments, no one talk to me, deleting all social media

username omg yuki 😭 bbg it's not your fault y/n is just freakishly tall

danielricciardo finally someone I had to look up to talk to 😂

yukitsunoda Daniel you're blocked first

username daniel looks at y/n like he wants to eat him, Yuki looks at y/n like he's planning to steal his height

username Danny something you'd like to share with the class???k

Daniel was trying to be normal but there were only very few people he had to look up to talk too and even fewer people who looked like that.

He had accepted he was gay a long time ago but refused to be in a relationship due to the media and his job but there was no way he could ignore the way his heart began racing when he looked into your eyes. The worst part of it was he didn’t even know if you were interested in him, or guys.

One wrong move and his career would be down the drain… again and he couldn’t risk that but he couldn’t stop himself from thinking about you either. This was driving him insane. You were driving him insane and you hadn’t even spoken to him over 10 minutes.

He could always count on Max right? He had never told anyone about Daniel’s secret even when they had been fighting and he was his best friend obviously he was going to cry about this to him.

Why had Max sent him one of Y/n’s Instagram posts? Daniel was not in the mood to stalk his crush only to see him with women all over him.

y/nfsnweek

y/nfsnweek If you know what I did last summer pls let me know

Oh, okay, he liked guys, but did he want Daniel? Y/n was a model, he worked around gorgeous men 24/7 why would he want to be with Daniel?

Daniel couldn't do much more, he could pine and yearn like he had for years before or he could get on with his job and move on like he is used to.

lando.jpg it's all him y/nfsnweek fr mans fine asf

username Y/N????

username HELLO???

username if Daniel doesn't respond to y/n rn its going to get real embarrassing real quick

Daniels's head was reeling, what did Lando mean you were flirting with him under his posts? Weren't all those comments PR? Should he text you? but what if you didn't like him? But what if you did? Fuck.

Daniel texted you, why had he texted you? Did he not like you? Did your comments make him uncomfortable? You were not above crying till the sun rose and the tears were already ready.

But first you had to yell at the little gremlin that probably caused this, cause you may die of a broken heart and embarrassment but you weren't going alone.

Now back to Daniel, who was probably going to block and you were going to get your contract cut and-

Oh? oh? And where had that sudden burst of confidence come from?

On the other end, Daniel was losing his mind.

Oh

Oh...

HE LIKES ME?? HE LIKES ME!! He couldn't believe he was acting like a teenager right now but he was kicking his feet and giggling. You were the literal man of his dreams and you liked him back!

Daniel was going to die but at least it'd be from happiness this time and you? You were screaming into your pillow, stalking the man's Instagram, blushing thinking about the date.

[revelboo]

HOLY SALMON MILK COW- TFA BLURR!??? IN MY FYP TRANSFORMERS X READER CONTENT??? OMG YES!!

THANK YOU,,, for adding blurr content because my goddd,, my starve for him is so NEEDED rn.

Thank you for feeding the blurr fans dear revel🙏

Zippy needed some love

A-Ok Pt 2

TFA Blurr x Reader

• Scrap. Darting into a shadowy alley, he feels your frantic squirming to get free as the shock wears off. Head tipping up to stare at the tiny, innocuous CCTV camera mounted on a wall. Scrap. How fast had he been moving? Fast enough it hadn’t caught him? Wincing as you start screaming, the sound not nearly muffled enough by the helmet, and he almost drops you in surprise. Scrap. “No. No, no, no,” he groans as you kick at him. Because everything’s gone sideways now because of one impulsive decision. He’s supposed to be beyond this. Calm, rational. “Stop, please.” Can’t think with you thrashing about making that noise and he needs to think. Desperately. There has to be a way to salvage this.

• Freaking out, adrenaline shaking through you, you try to claw at the buckle to your helmet. Can’t get enough air, can’t breathe as your mind struggles with this. You wrecked. Drag racing with that little blue car, the stalled truck. You lost control. Right. The sports car coming apart, transforming into a giant robot and grabbing you. Bike going over the side of the viaduct without you on it as the robot had moved you to safety with shocking speed. Yep. And that brings you to dangling from the giant robot’s arms. Finally you get the buckle loose and shove the helmet off, gasping as it hits the concrete and bounces. And you can breathe. Try to assess. You’re still alive. It saved you. Right? “Hey, Zippy? Put me down, please.”

• That calm, little voice cuts through his panic, stroking over him and he looks down in surprise. If he does set you down, you’re going to run. Of course, you can’t outrun him, but still. What’s he supposed to do with you? His mission, his cover all in danger because he couldn’t resist a little fun. Because he’d been bored. “That’s not my name,” he says finally, shifting on his peds. Turning to look and see that the alley dead ends at a low chain link fence on the other side. Can clear that easily enough. There might be another camera, though.

• “Well, what is your name?” Too nervous to shut up, you just keep going. Because if he’d wanted to kill you or hurt you, he’d have let you wreck. He hadn’t. Choosing to believe that means you’re safe, makes it easier to calm your racing heart. Turning in a circle with you still trapped in his arms, legs swinging with his quick movements, you think of a kitten being carried by a hyper toddler. Realizing he’s ignoring you, muttering softly to himself, the words too quick to catch. “You saved my life, right, Zippy?” Adrenaline starting to ebb, you feel strangely buoyant. Almost giddy.

• “Still not my name.” Why does that calm voice make it easier to think? To focus? Slowing him down some. Venting softly, his servos flex on you. “If I put you down, you’re not going to run.” Not really a question, but he still waits until you nod before he lowers you. Tensing when you take a step back, but you’re only retrieving your helmet before looking up at him. You’re not panicking, not screaming and it eases his own tension even if he doesn’t understand why you’re coping with him so well. Just able to roll with not only a near death experience, but meeting an alien. “Name’s Blurr.” Watches you turning the helmet over in your hands, muttering what sounds suspiciously like a ‘sure, Zippy,’ before your hands start shaking, you drop the helmet, and then you crumple as he grabs for you.

nsfw funpoison headcanons bc jesus popped out of a muffin and told me to write these

yes thats a slipknot reference <3 ANYGAYS as the title says this is almost entirely nsfw hcs so NSFW WARNING!

I need to be put on the death penalty

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hear me out but i recently jst got a random hc idea that ghoul calls party things like "pup" and shi idfk that jst invaded my brain and im embracing it lmao

on that note neither of them r into pet play or anything (god no) but party does like being called those things and may or may not have a leash kink 👀 (edit: ok maybe a littleeeeeeeeee teenie tiny bit of light pet play :333)

poison has a playlist called "music for when I'm missing my manz" and it's literally just bed chem by sabrina carpenter and nothing else (pretend she exists in this timeline ok 😿)

Poison's lwk kinda confused why they were given the dog related nicknames when ghoul's the one who acts like a feral chihuahua (lmfao)

"ugh I'm starving there's nothing to eat here" "baby I'm right here 😿" "ah right good point" *drops to his knees* "NO NO NOT IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE YOU IDIO-" idek if this counts as a hc but whatever this is ig

Sometimes when ghoul is bored he'll just take his gun (unloaded ofc) and make poison suck it and he doesn't even care if there's other ppl around he's just like "mmm yah there ya go ^^ good boiii!! <333" like bro has nearly gotten his ass beat by kobra bc of these shenanigans 💀🙏

poison knows how to beg like a MOTHERFUCKER, they can and will get anything they want from ghoul if they beg right. (in a sexual way, ofc, if u couldnt tell by the whole theme of this post)

on that note, ghoul loves to make party beg for shit sometimes, ya want anything sexual? beg ya filthy animal!

as rough as they sometimes get with each other (if yk what I mean), one thing theyre not, is mean. they're always kind to eachother and theres always a bit of love making in the soup when they do it (this is so corny and cringe but i love it with all my heart FUCK YOU!/silly)

they both have matching tattoos of eachothers logos on the back of their hands (woah! not sex related!? Wild!!)

Ghoul taught Lola (oc, not hesitant alien lola) how to say faggot when she was three and he made party get it on camera and it's his biggest flex (she didn't stop yelling it out constantly for DAYS they had to stop her from screaming faggot at random people 💀)

Once they broke down in the middle of the zones together and they didn't have their phones with them so they just camped out in the middle of the road unheard from for the whole night to the next morning and everyone thought they died (oh look another non sexual hc haha so funny- SIKE THEY FUCKED IN THE CAR🗣️🗣️🔥🔥)

party's the type of person that'll make fake (very loud) sex noises when ur on the phone with someone Important and ghoul is lwk the type of get accidentally turned on by it.

ok I'm out of ideas rn but if I come up with more I'll add to this lol (I was in a rush to post this😭)

AITAH for wanting to divorce my husband bc he added pee to my food?

ok so idk if im losing it or what but i (32f) been married to my husband (36m) for 4 yrs and idk who the fuck i married anymore. so hes always had this weird fetish he told me about where he wanted to pee on my face during segggs and i was like no. just NO. never been into that shit. he asked a few times, i always shut it down, he never pushed it so i thought that was the end of it. i was wrong.

few months ago i started noticing my food tasting weird. not like bad like rotten but just off. like my overnight oats, my yogurt bowls, sometimes my brewed coffee. i thought maybe the fridge was fucking up but everything else was fine. i threw out so much shit thinking it was spoiled but then it kept happening. but heres the thing i never got sick. no stomach aches, no nothing. so i started thinking maybe he was like poisoning me slowly or idk, trying to drug me or something. but it wasnt even making me sick so it made no sense. i was just stressed af. Also like why would he drug me. hes always loving so it wasn't making sense.

told my friend abt it and she was like u need to put a camera on ur fridge. just in case. Because its just him and i living alone. Only other person coming over is our moms sometines. so i did put the camera cus i was losing my brain. got a tiny one from amazon, set it up, waited.

this man. MY HUSBAND. PEEING IN MY OVERNIGHT OATS. and my brewed coffee. took the lid off. PEED. put the lid back. SHOOK IT. put it back in the fridge like nothing happened. i thought i was gonna throw up right there.

i LOST it. i went full psycho. i broke his ps5, his tv, threw his clothes outside in the snow, messed up his shoes, EVERYTHING. he came home and i just screamed at him. he started crying begging saying it was his fetish and he thought it was a way to do it without me knowing. like wtf??????? like does he think that makes it BETTER???? he said he will go to therapy, we can put cameras all over the house, he will never do it again. was saying we took vows and we have to work thru this. like???????

Saw these people on tiktok advice asking on reddit so here i am needing that outside perspective. im at my friends place rn i havent told anyone else idk wtf to do. hes blowing up my phone saying im ruining our marriage over this “mistake” but like this aint a mistake this is like. fucking vile. and i cant look at him the same. am i the asshole for wanting to divorce or should i try to forgive him. bc i really just want to vomit forever.

[shmreduplication]

the crazy thing about watching the same handful of rwrb clips too many times is that eventually you realize that the movie part of the movie is actually also very good

basically: the location of the two men gives insight into what Henry is thinking about at any given moment. When Alex is on his right, Henry is thinking about his public (heterosexual) persona. Alex on the left, Henry is thinking about his private (homosexual) persona. With some caveats, like sometimes they are facing each other and Alex is still on the left from the camera's perspective.

OK let's get to some pics:

This is right after the first comment about Alex needing to be on the right because of protocol (camera's left, which is the direction i'm going to use for the rest of this post for the sake of consistency and ease)

This is the first time they are on screen together in the movie

In the lead-up to the incident, they are being rude to each other to hide (to themselves and each other) how attracted they are to each other. So in this moment Henry's thoughts are more about him being gay than about his public image, and lo, Alex is on the right

there's a little bit of a tussle that results in them on the floor and this slow-mo shot of their reaction to a giant cake falling on top of them. Alex is on the left again as Henry takes this split second to think about what his life is going to be like after the cake falls on them

literally shoved into a closet together, god I love when stuff that has gay text and gay supertext also has gay subtext. Henry is thinking about "why does this beautiful man I have a crush on hate me so bad :'(" and Alex is on the right

ok they're on the phone in this scene and not actually in bed next to each other but the topic of conversation is how much Alex has learned of Henry's private persona so Henry is thinking about how much of it to reveal because they're almost real friends at this point (Henry's real friends know he's gay). There is also continuity that every time one of them is on a bed, they're on the same side shown here, which could cause inconsistency with my whole premise of this post BUT i'm going to say it actually further justifies everything I'm saying because Henry really is nearly always thinking about his public persona

Henry is trying to come out to Alex. It is not going as planned. This is one of two shots that inspired this whole post

Henry went into this room thinking Alex was going to yell at him for being gay so he's just having every possible thought at once now, and also they're facing each other so even tho they just kissed and Alex is on the left, my point still stands

Henry takes a second to figure out that rn is the time to think gay thoughts, not sad thoughts about acting hetero in public and they IMMEDIATELY SWITCH SIDES OF THE SCREEN

A secret service agent walks in and Henry fucking dives back to the right side of the screen

The euphoria of finding out his crush likes him back is all he can think about in the next scene, even tho they are extremely in public and have just talked to the US prez/Alex's mom and the UK PM

ok it's 1am and it would be insane to do every scene and I fee like i've made my point but I do want to post two more pics:

NOO ALEX DON'T LAY DOWN THERE!!!! that's his right side even tho from the camera's perspective you are kinda on the right! that's so risky!!!!!!!!!! Also the straight lines are pointing downward to the right which is often a visual metaphor for things about to go downhill (in cultures that read left-to-right)

Alex starts talking about collapsing their private and public lives together and wow look at that, the camera also did its best to collapse Alex being on the right and being on the left together in the second shot that inspired this post

[autisticbokutoenthusiast]

thoughts on china v usa but im sleepy so its blunter than usual

its wild that this is both teams first match considering this is one of the top matchups. like 2016 gold medalists v 2021 gold medalists. and then the players too

its fun watching haleigh washington and yuan xin yue meet as middles at the net (though i kinda want usa to throw dana retke in there to see two 6'8/203 play opposite eachother). theres two veterans on the court with zhu ting and jordan larson, we got annie drews and li ying ying as opposing letfies like this match is fun as hell.

set 1:

ill never get over watching zhu ting play...

the us doesn't feel solid yet idk what it is but theres a missing connection

china has gotten off to a strong start too but they dont feel comfortable yet. maybe its just first match cause i said same thing this morning and yesterday

the way i said "they need to put skinner in" and then they did and now shes scoring like!!! yall need some agression on offense!! also i love skinner shes so fun to watch

set 2

it must be said but wong-orantes is one of the best liberos rn like just fantastic

i need skinner to become a starter outside

yuan xin yue!!!!!!! lets gooooooo!!!

oh look whose on court SKINNER and in for cook finally what were we waiting for

usa does not have an answer for zhu ting, which is understandable but still (not that im mad lemme see her go on runs)

usa needs to feed the middle a lot to have an effective offense it seems. on the one hand both middles are amazing but on the other i need more action from the sides

last set 25-20 china now up 25-18 like us what are we doing...

i hope we see a point breakdown cause it feels like washington and ogbogu carrying...

AND THATS WHY ZHU TING IS A LEGEND

(that clip of china in rio... yuan xin yue is so cute omg)

set 3

ok commentators pissin me off but theyre right saying the us going with receivers is biting them in the ass cause they not receiving and they not scoring so now youre down 2-0. this strategy just wont work against a team as efficient as china lets be real. maybe if this was turkiye or poland...

skinner and plumber starting and doing well.... mixed feelings cause on the one hand i wanted this change but on the other i was going on and on this morning during ned v tur about veteran players and i guess i was wrong sljflakjf

yuan xin yue and then washington again like this is a middles match what did i say!!

skinner being 6'1 but looking so small and cute like this is my baby monster

li ying ying was quiet in set 2 i feel lets bring some fire!!

drews put your hair back in a bun and get to work lets gooooo

usa/nbc/peacock whoever the fuck is fucking up this coverage o im missing whats happening SHOW THE FUCKING MATCH YOU ANNOYING ASS BITCH ASS SET OF ASOLUTE MOUTHS OMGGGG GET THEYRE FUCKASS INSTA POSTS OFF MY SCREEN YOUR COMMENTARY IS SHIT YOUR GRAPHICS ARE SHIT BAR WAS ON THE FLOOR AND YOURE STILL FUMBLING AT THIS POINT JUST SHUT UP AND KEEP THE CAMERA PLANTED

zhu ting with the almost footsave skdjfakjf

ANNIE DREWS IS AWAKE LETS GO

skinner better call her club team and ask for a raise cause shes coming in clutch in her debut olympic match

24-16 usa its almost like yall needed a good offense in order to score

plumber and skinner saved the set like they got everyone else fired up too

set 4

the anouncers talking about which college this players played on. she is thirty talk about the club that pays her like damn. i know this is probable for americans but still

usa still tipping when its not worked the whole game.... like the block is just too high youre doing really well with full swings go with them. and i remember the coach yelling this during vnl to stop tipping... i wonder whats happening here

it feels so good watching skinner play so well and score so much after spending the first 2 sets begging them to make her a starter

china where is your efficiency from set 2 lets get that back!!!

usa fans chanting usa... top 10 most annoying things to happen during a match dont make me boo you

gong xi yu getting that angle is impressive the set was very tight

and see whats scoring? combinations and full swings lets stick to this!!!

annie drews is awake awake she said let me make up for set 1

wheels come off for china a bit... where are the receives from earlier

what is it with setters and lying about block touches aslfjakj

i really like the way poulter is running the offense this set

set 5

chinas pins have been strong enough im surprised were not seeing more of li ying ying

you cannot give yuan x. y. an overpass shes gonna make you eat it each time!!

some defensive breakdowns for china.... lets settle down yall

gong coming to the party now too lets go service- welp

AHHHH THE STUFF BLOCK?!??!!?!?!? LI YING YING!!!!

aces for washington!!!!

li ying ying lookin like mvp of set 5 the angles are wild

wang yuan yuan you've been quiet but you aint asleep lets goooo

larson as a serve sub? inch resting lets see oh shit it worked

AND CHINA BEATS DEFENDING GOLD MEDALISTS

that was indeed a fun match ahhhhh im so happy were getting vball again

[grahamcarmen]

Have a lot of asks and takes so just gonna dump them all here:-

opinion on chase and dexter.

you know i really want carlotta to meet the faculty and coach brunt and gray.

carlotta is gonna get such a biased version of gray that it cackles me up.

I can just imagine carmen telling her about gray and her response is "so you inherited my taste in bad boys".

you know, i understand why people think that if el topo killed someone he'll feel really guilty nut like he's the one to remind crackle that no witnesses should be left behind he's a cinnamon roll who can kill you.

rn i'm giggling at the idea of someone catching carmen and grey making out.

Commander is adorable.

1)i like them! Chase i maintain has the best line about the trufffles in his brain in s2. vivid imagery. poetic. and he gets such a solid and clear arc so congrats dude!! i really also like in s1 where he doesn't really buy that mimebomb is important but does have a tactic to keep tabs on him . tenacious, resiliant, and really intelligent sometimes. a lot of fun to watch and occasionally hear the out of pocket things he can say, he starts out abrasive but seeing him soften up and do what he can do best is fun and rewarding

dexter we don't get much but he was literally so!!! for getting only barely caught on cameras dating carms mom (which he refused to stop doing heck yeah <3) and doing his best to long con his way OUT of VILE for all of their sakes. and as a VILE agent? he was so smooth like steal those jewels, fly away, get paid for minimal teaching...ajsdnfasdkfn cool. RIPERONIS you were pretty cool

i really hope that carmen gets told by her mom that she has her dads eyes it was such an awwww moment when she said it. :( + just ugh can you imagine the conversations if she gets even more hints of similar things between them...ughhhhh carmen would really hold that dear...

2) hmmmmmmm like i really am into maybe her mom wanting to occasionally help carmen and that could happen VIA that (faculty and brunt) as for GRAY...

3) asdkjfnaslkfdjasd ok carmen gives literally all of gray's good points in such heart eyes and happy voice that the context of how carmen knows this just like makes her go "WAIT WAT" but lmao the idea of them falling for bad boys who are actually so soft and will do whatever it takes and actually turn over a new leaf <3 [i do think she might be a little harsher in her opinion on gray at first because thats her baby >:( waddyumeanyou! but like

:(it was everything...it was literally everything he held dear for carmen to exist and ugghhhhhhhhh i can't with them.

and like a changed person who her daughter has so much love for and obviously loved her enough to do that?? plus her mom runs an orphanage like i want to see him try to wiggle his way in the middle of respectful and being called out for old habits he can't shake yet and not being used to her brand of warmth. or her just asking him to keep watch the kids so she and carmen can have a day together mijo :((((((

and him being decent at corralling all those kids...not great he almost lost a couple but decent (he is good at charming distractions but gets snippy at the troublemakers if any...he's the only troublemaker allowed there<3) + always my evidences that he was the one who split up carmen and sheenas fights, the boys looked at him when they needed help at the tunnel, lmao he actually did have a decent distraction of codenames at the ready, and he's a head patter with a chill laid back disposition he projects...he can distract them with candyland for an hour...i think he can catch their attention like lmao he has such de facto group leader energy even if its not what he primarily does/the role he always wants...can he hold it tho...

or even a seriousish conversation after with gray realizing that was her trusting him lol + just long way round is still the way around conversation

5)...is that a thing? i mean el topo initially felt really bad about carmen because they were friends and might* have felt bad for shadowsan because he was his teacher but le chevre just tells him to focus on the bad parts of his class to get over it. old man in the desert who he has no attachment to? crackle remember to kill him + next time le chevre/ el topo both get over any lingering attachments and el topo even captures carmen with a smile and an ho-la. cinnamon roll who can kill.

6)I NEED THAT SO BAD ! NEED THEM TO BE INSEPARABLE AND INSUFFERABLE AND GET CAUGHT BEING ABSOLUTELY INTO EACH OTHER AND ABSOLUTELY SO HAPPY. askjdfnaskfjna and absolutely with only half an idea of what to do when caught

7) COMMANDER ...is cute <3

[quarktrinity]

quark watches star trek season 1 episode 7

ok were looking for this lady christines ex.

hes definitely dead

"dr korby"

what kind of bras do they have these ladies wearing

oh hes alive! neat!!

this episode is called "what are little girls made of?" bad omen i think

"can you beam down by yourself captain kirk?" hes going to kill you

this set looks like a zoo exhibit

"beam down two security men" theyre going to die

kirk stop grabbing her shes engaged

dramatic lights!!!

random other guy!

alien!!!

"bottomless pit" shut up

ok so this is where the redshirt thing came from

"dr korby was detained" what

why do you call dr brown "brownie"

dr brown is so evil

so were just skimming over the fact that a guy just fucking died

ohhhh nooooo not the other red shiiirrrrt

this is the most 60s secret lab ive ever seen

woah other woman. christine is obviously jealous

oh hey dr korby

WOW that is the most lustful kiss ive ever seen on television

woooaaahhhh these people are eeeviiiiil who couldve seen this comiiiiing

ok dr brown is a robot apparently

oh shit the alien guy can mimic kirks voice. the actors pretty good at lip syncing too

the aliens not allowed to disobey christines orders. hi chekhov is that ur gun on the table there?

"ruk destroyed them both totally against my wishes, i assure you" sure dude

"the old ones" shut up

this fight choreography is extremely homoerotic

does this show ever pass the bechdel test like ever?

andreas overalls are so stupid

ok so andreas a robot. korby showed this by having her kiss kirk. thats not consensual! go away!!!

theyre turning kirk into a robot??? they had to strip his clothes to do that???

theyre spinning him around. stop spinning him. please

apparently this guys fiancee used to be his student? thats icky

STOP SPINNING HIM

this show is so determined to sexualize kirk at every given opportunity. normally im fine with this but only when he has agency about it

theyre having gummies for dinner

andrea: "i am now programmed to please you, also. is the food appealing?" christine: "yes, thank you" star trek has now passed the bechdel test

this episode seems to have a theme about following orders

oh this episode is also about transhumanism

this episode is strongly criticizing transhumanism

kirk rolls a nat 20 on sleight of hand

hey kirk remember when ruk agreed to follow christines orders. how about you tell her that

oh she knows??? why didnt she take advantage of that before

i love when this show decides to enter the horror genre for a while. its great

weirdly phallic image of kirk holding a dick-shaped stalactite

cameras waaaayyyy too close for this fight choreo. cant tell whats going on

oh ruk is helping him!! yay!

uh oh robot kirk is on the ship

robot kirk commits a hatecrime against spock

"i felt quite at home on the enterprise" what do you mean "felt"

real kirk stop making out with the robot girl. what are you doing

stop trying to seduce the robot girl shes not into you leave her alone

this episode is also about the singularity

jesus christ korby just fuckin killed ruk

korbys a robot too :O literally didnt see that coming

robo korby is having such an existential crisis rn

andreas in love with korby apparently. ok

andrea and korby are dead now

spock: "dont call me slurs" kirk: "ok" (paraphrased) so does spock not know what happened. like at all

[buffa-z]

ep 34

tsumuri is doing the intro again!

"that's character assassination!" lmao?? the first sub i watched said libel i think

ok it switched to like. 360p wtf happened

there's a lot to be said here.

tsumuri looks less upset about chirami dying than she did about michinaga dying the first time

picturing buffa with his back up against the door piling dressers and tables and shit and when he looks back geats is already inside the room

there is a certain cuntiness to this, if only there was just a little more to it

oh fuck kekera's got the vision driver

starts giggling and kicking my feet

suel = creator of the DGP (cult leader?)

"So we're dealing with the last boss." yeah you game-brained freak

i have the game for you! [sprinkles pixie dust over all of tokyo, causing it to start floating away]

now why did they put him in this random alley

and he's just?? in a park??? why not let them spawn next to each other at least???

ohhh ace is getting memories from the movie. imagine that's how you find out that actually might've happened. and got erased from your memories/timeline until now

now why would kekera whisper to her in an empty room unless he knows there's cameras in here?

god i feel so bad for sara this whole show

you know, kekera is a bad person, but i really respect how straightforward and businesslike he is. he doesn't rely on drama to make his schemes interesting.

this shot is so interesting. putting her in the handle of the blender? there's so much layering in the composition it looks surrealist

AND KEIWA IS FINE!

kekera is still sitting there? i guess? and talks even tho keiwa doesn't remember him?

why is neon still hanging out with kyuun. that's such a huge plot hole why would she spend time with him at all. does he have an apartment she can stay at at least? or are they both just??? around???

what an insidious thing to say. sae literally already proved it. ace literally already proved it. there are multiple people in this world that want neon's happiness. this is so manipulative it fucking sucks

neon being as rude as her programming allows to this dipshit

EXACTLY like counter to popular belief neon is her own person and probably spent the weeks off before the wipe thinking about herself and her identity and what it means to be "Neon." you think she hasn't figured out who she is and the people that love her for that? KYUUN is the one who assumes she's naive and stupid and thus susceptible to the absolute shit lures hes putting out

now crucial detail: neon doesn't know Anything about the goddess rn. she wants the dgp to stay bc she knows next to nothing about how it works bc nobody bothered to tell her.

OH MY GOD??? i forgot this part. oh my god

"It'll be better that way." HELLO? IS ANYONE ELSE SEEING THIS? DOES ANYONE ELSE CARE????

neon is literally completely alone except for her weirdo stalker and all she wants is for her followers to forget about her so she can disappear without anyone missing her. and that's just not really important to the plot. for some reason

i like that ace genuinely has no idea how he came back.

this framing is actually one of my favorites. its the first time it feels like they're on even footing

wait why did he say thaTHEY HAVE AN INSIDE JOKE!!! [saying this xe threw aside a large rock] this is actually huge

tsumuri asking his wish like she always does but the context has completely changed >>

"all i want is my mother's freedom and happiness" "i hope it comes true then." FUUUUCKK

quick everyone go in the woods. that's how we always like to start the dgp

lets all go to the creek where people either die or do gay stuff

GAY STUFF!! thank god its gay stuff. im not a neosara fan but mid yuri over !womandiesrandomly any day

hairstyle of the mentally well .

neon has adapted to the ace-style of fan interaction which is to stand pretty in front of them and let them do all the talking and idly think about how your suicide would affect them

i wish i knew more japanese so i could understand the linguistic nuances of the different firstperson pronouns. whats the significance of daichi using boku over ore ? i think he may be the only one to do so of the riders (unless i'm forgetting keiwa does it?)

this is the interior decor of a chronic online shopper. considering sara is hopelessly parasocial with neon and obsessed with skincare, i think its natural progression to constantly crawl wayfair/overstock/instagram storefront type sites for deals

"an incredible resemblance really" go fuck yourself

this is an interesting situation where neon is now being put in a similar position as the one sae was in during the desastar game.

why are they making nadge-sparrow more strong than na-go? is it bc he believes in himself more?

ladies????

it is actually a little funny how kekera sets this up. i don't hate this plot. i just wish it meant anything

now i am with him on this

[data expunged]

curious how michinaga feels about sara becoming a kamen rider. /just another core to crush/? /why is she here?/ /is she the reason tycoon is back too?/

GEATS YOU SON OF A BITCH

why? you jealous or something?

god it really is so perfect. guy who cant miss and guy who cant die. also idk what they did to buffa's voice in this episode but its. is it hot in here or

GOD FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THIS PART

the nameless fox has been spotted in the gay creek woods

right. because of his wish. and look at what he tells his friends vs his sister. "a world without the dgp" as in "a world without me and the goddess" but how could he say that to neon's face? its better if they're mad at him. if they don't forgive him. then they wont miss him, even if they do somehow remember

but the other two see it as /only ace's wish gets to be fulfilled/. they have their own wishes they want, and they (CRUCIALLY) Do Not Know What He Knows re: the goddess and the happiness cycle etc etc. they don't know and he isn't gonna be the one to tell them

keiwa's actor is doing great with this like shuddering overwhelmed frustration/fear vibe

[inact-ice]

Episode 10!!!!!

I’m almost doooooone

- aw Abby

- she’s leaving soon right, noooo

- bucks holding Abby so gently like my queen deserves

- Abby girl you better be taking a leave of absence rn to heal

- yeah I figured cause the British accent was so fake sounding

- ok bobby and Athena hintsss

- ABBY WAS IN THE OLYMPICS?!! AND NOBODY TOLD MEEEE. Ugh Abigail Clark you can do no wrong

- Bobbert, who are you getting all cute for sir??? Oh dear. Someone take this camera away from him. Chimney he’s watching porn at WORK!

- hen don’t project your cheating nonsense onto this please

- OMG THE CATFISH EPISODE! Oh yeah everyone just thought he was cheating, omg these buncha HATERS! Nobody would ever cheat on Abby bc she is perfect

- did black people write this? Why would May get twists when her hairs silk pressed? Anyways

- hello mean gay husband, your eyes are such a light brown wow.

- why are these people so chill about cheating. Hen you don’t need to have an existential crisis, just apologize and admit you did something bad

- ABBY! How are you doing girl? Oh she’s gonna travel lots to kinda fulfill her mom’s dream too? SHES BACK TO WORK- Abigail is that healthy?

- this is such a terrifying situation fr like he coulda gotten dissected! This guys’ a freak… but he’s kinda cute

- hi Karen, I’m tired of this too girl. “I love you biiiiitch, I ain’t never gon stop loving you biiitch” ass confrontation

- ABBY! Omg these main character situations are stressing my girl OUT, poor girl. Oh and these women need to stop hurting buck, like I get why but Jesus

- oh fuckkk, being ripped in half is crazy. Oh shitttttt, yeah this is a tough one. The way Bobby’s crawling is so much, he like collapsed in on himself

- ok Athena and bobby moment! OK ATHENA AND BOBBY MOMENT???

- Ayo rebar, bucks so mad wow valid. Chimney is being kind of a jerk, why’s everyone in this house so cool w/ cheating????

- does buck not know what an ip address is

- BOBBY TOOK ATHENA TO CHURCH FOR THE FIRSY DATE??? LITERALLY AND NOT EUPHAMISTICALLY?? Is he well? Not Athena being into this shit puh LEASE

- buck close your damn mouth there are MAGGOTS in the windows. Is buck gonna fight this coroner? Oh ok. Gross. Yeah fuck you coroner guy

- chimney I understand you on a spiritual level

- Abby I understand if this was all too much and you need to break up with buck bc you’d be so valid. Aw man. WAIT SHES LEAVING YES DUBLIN

- I’m realizing that the amount I like Abby might be making me dislike buck a little bit lmao, like that’s MY girlfriend sir

- Abby I will mourn your time on this show

- you know abby gets credit for buck 2.0 or whatever, but buck helped Abby change for the better in a lot of ways too. I don’t think she would have learned to prioritizeherself like this without him

- BOBBY AND ATHENA DATE YIPPEE

- Abby please don’t narrate us out worth Florence and the machine playing rn

- Karen… well I know this doesn’t affect anything again ever so whatever

- so glad chimneys gonna get railed

- ABBY DONT GO, TAKE ME WITH YOU!! WHERES THE ABBY TRAVELLING CRIMFIGHTING SUPERHERO SPIN-OFF! NO GOD WHY DONT TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME WHYYY TAKE BUCK INSTEAD

- can’t even be happy about the bobby and Athena date because I’m crying so hard.

- that was a lie, Athena you look HOT! Bobby, wear tighter pants

- ABBY NOOO, DONT PLAY THE LINE GOING OFF NOOOO and we won’t see her ever again, this city can’t survive without Batman

This episode was fine, but they should’ve focused more on Abby, I think they were trying to do a gentle perspective switch to be more in Bucks pov to really prepare us for her leaving, but i needed to see more of my queen to prepare for her leaving. She didn’t even say bye to Athena! Ig it was a fine conclusion for the first season tho, I’ll collect all my thoughts on this season later after I finish mourning

[icedille]

@0-k-4 this is getting way too long so i'm putting it in a reblog under the cut bc it's. i'm insane sorry. also quick disclaimer this is maybe a bit of a harsh rant bc i really felt like this movie was treating me like an idiot so i'm just a little bit annoyed but i don't think anyone is dumb or wrong if they liked it or thought it was good. honestly i'm not even sure it's objectively bad rn i just. really really did not enjoy it. and most of my complaints are about stuff that i can see were intentional choices it's just that i don't respect most of these god bless. ANYWAY

my problem with the repetition is that it's on literally every level. the scenes themselves are unending and just doubling tripling every action or sequence when it really doesn't need to be every single time. and when you think it's done there's another one just restating the main point right after. and everything is just insisting on shit i already got like the few lines of dialogue are mostly spent restating things the completely unsubtle symbolism already told us same goes for the sound design the way it's shot EVERYTHING for example that one scene in the end where she reinjects the substance in herself and there's the line "please give me a better version of myself" which was. so unnecessary to me like i get what she's doing i get the point of this substance and why she's using it and we've heard that so many times already you don't have to spell it out like that!!! there's nothing more to this line than just restating the point!! i'm not fucking stupid just have some faith in having a scene speak for itself for once!!!!! and i can enjoy not so subtle things sometimes sometimes it's good and interesting to be on the nose but for me it really didn't feel like the themes or commentary or whatever were expanded at all outside of. plainly stating them once and then just repeating them for the entire runtime. it just constantly felt like the movie was hitting me over the head with the same shit over and over again asking did you get it? did you get the point about beauty standards and body dysmorphia and female self-hatred? the point mostly being that those are things that exist did you get that did you get that we're talking about that. also did you get how hot sue is bc if not here's another shot of her ass.

and i GET that the ass shots are there for a reason but i just don't think it was executed well sorry like the point about her repeating the same cycle of social pressure does not work very well considering how she doesn't have any interactions with female characters ever (i'll come back to this later). and it just undermines scenes that could have been way stronger like the part where she dreams (?) that a chicken leg pops up in her butt and the whole crew goes to look at the camera that was zoomed in on her ass to see if they find anything strange. and the sequence of all these men very seriously investigating a close-up of her body and going over it in slow-mo was very much supposed to be extremely uncomfortable and make it obvious just how much she's being treated like an object to be ogled but. the movie was already doing that for the past twenty minutes so personally it just didn't really hit like. who cares. they're looking at her ass ok bitch me too bc you the director put a camera there for five minutes straight right before this. again i don't think that's completely unintentional i could see that it's because you're also supposed to re-examine how her new perfect life was presented until then and interrogate your position as the audience or whatever (though i do always find that a little annoying considering that i. don't have any say in that like oooughg isn't it fucked up to sexualize the women on tv well sure but i'm not the one with the camera and editing software here.) but idk to me it's just. TOO insistent on that spends way too long just repeating it over and over again and it just ended up feeling condescending to me. and that's just to exemplify that phenomenon basically every little isolated point was like that for me just so repetitive and felt like i was being talked down to constantly. idk it pissed me off

also and that's more personal preference but i didn't like how. individualized? everything felt from a narrative standpoint. like the fact that elisabeth/sue doesn't have any interactions outside of the men who either desire or exploit her and even those are super underdeveloped. so everything she goes through feels very internalized and mostly coming from herself and. sure there's the catalyst of losing her job and overhearing what the guy says but that's really it once she comes back as sue she's unconditionally seen as perfect and that just goes on for the rest of the runtime there's not really any consistent pressure or pushback that could explain how you get to the point elizabeth got to. like again i know the extreme contrast is the point but i just don't think presenting something like this as "one day you're young and pretty and nobody says anything to you ever and the next you're 50 and basically everything's over just like that" is. the most interesting route. idk i believe in gradual shifts i think that kind of immense pressure makes itself known at more points in your career including the very beginning like being told she should smile once in a while is not. the worst it gets even when you're at the height of fame!! there's just not enough external factors for meeee and the way sue gets everything handed to her (+ as an example the scene where her neighbor comes over to complain abt the noise and then immediately walks back on it when he sees she's hot) felt really reminiscent of the whole belief misogynists have that being a young pretty woman is the easiest way to live life. and i guess it could be satire of that very idea but idkk it did not feel like the movie was really deconstructing that in any way since the very destructive consequences she gets at the end are really just because of her own actions and choices. and again i get that part of the point is about self-hatred and your own body image (+ i heard some pretty interesting stuff about this aspect so i could admit at least there's Something there) so it's normal if she's mostly doing shit on her own but idk it's just not a direction i enjoy a lot with smth that presents itself as social commentary like ok girl but where's the "social". i don't think it's bad necessarily to focus on personal responsability bc in the end it is true that she chose to do that but i just wish there was. more. about the context or whatever. more nuance and variety in characterization especially of the audience especially especially of her boss the crew all the industry stand-ins they're all such. cartoonish caricatures that for me it makes most of the criticism feel really weak and secondary to the rest that's essentially "elizabeth gets really old and gross bc her hotter self exploits her to stay rich and famous". like the plastic surgery angle is really mostly focused on how SHE's fucking up her body and never really adresses the entire industry behind that that has a very concrete financial motive to keep women insecure and make it so that having some kind of procedure done really early on is currently a hollywood standard (like you genuinely do not get anywhere without that rn. more or less everyone you see on screen has had smth done) and yeah women do participate in that in the sense that they're not literally coerced to do it but it's still. i just don't think focusing your criticism mostly on the individual really gets us anywhere! (and again the "she's perpetuating the same beauty standards bc she's currently profiting off of it" point falls flat for me bc of the lack of other female characters. i think that to really make a point about that kind of influences and interactions and projections of an ideal you need to compare and contrast at least a little bit.) especially if your movie is TWO HOURS AND A HALF you can afford to spend a little more time on different things!!!!

bc for me that lack of. well everything else ended up presenting the issue of getting plastic surgery or other "artificial" ways of modifying your body to fit strict beauty standards as mainly "if you do it too much you'll end up even uglier in the long run" which is not. a take i think is. good? and again i could see that they're trying to satirize this exact thing at least a little bit (i actually think the ending works pretty well in that regard like everyone freaking out and calling her a monster is on some points a really good representation of how people do turn on celebrities who've had things done once they're old and it gets more noticeable, the whole focus on "botched surgeries" etc that's a very real and common reaction. but again i didn't think it was executed very well bc it tries to do both that AND the moment where she gets through and is acclaimed with the fucking poster on her face for me the point once again got really muddied and it's just. a shame!!!!) but when the main horror of the movie IS how monstrous she gets in the end and how unnaturally old elizabeth gets throughout it, for me it's just. a little bit hard to really distinguish between satire and just perpetuating the very same thing. like in the end it's the same problem i had with x, how meaningful can your commentary on ageism in the entertainment industry/society in general and the lengths we go to to avoid looking visibly old really be when the aged features of your character are one of the main sources of your horror and are constantly presented as gross and scary and horrifying? tbh i don't think there's a fixed answer to that, like maybe that's just a personal hang-up i have here and i can accept that other people would think this works well but for me it was too much. straightforward hagsploitation to really make the "it's fucked up that old women get discarded like that" sound entirely sincere instead it mostly felt like "it's fucked up that 50 yo demi moore who's still super fit and hot got put under so much pressure that she ended up ACTUALLY old and gross". aynway. i don't know. maybe it just wasn't for me maybe it's really good and i just fundamentally disagreed with the angle it used to get at most things. i still think it was annoyingly condescending and that the pacing was terrible and ruined a lot of things tho <3

ok i'm FINALLY done. quick first impressions on the substance bc i need to rethink some stuff but: the actual horror was great loved the concept loved the designs loved the horrible horrible things and the general metaphor is good on paper. everything else about this movie is dumb as shit it did not work for me at ALL
