#—— i’m deadass genius

[cartiervisions]

plot inspired by “too deep”, “grieving”, & “hate the club” by kehlani 

too deep = muse a’s pov

a plot about muse a who loves too hard, loves love, and is in love with the feeling of love. but in the same breath, doesn’t know how to commit & when they do, they will do anything to self sabotage what they have. love is something they want, crave, but is something too deep for them to handle. muse a is known to look for love and that feeling of that high they can’t stop chasing. they are can’t help, but feel like this a high they will forever chase. not until they meet muse b. muse b being that person that makes them think that maybe, just maybe i can commit. maybe this is the person that made me want to fully believe in love and be my person.  but that infamous self sabotage always seems to get in the way of something great. “i thought we were just fucking” “i can’t fall in love for nothing” is what the mind continues to tell them about their situation. what they tell muse b about their current situation. but in the same breath “I don’t ever wanna lose you again” “you don’t ever wanna see me again” they know deep down this is something they want, but holding onto someone while you aren’t going to commit isn’t something anyone wants. and muse b said enough is enough. 

grieving = muse b’s pov

muse b moved on. they had no choice being stuck in a place where they gave their all and still wasn’t enough in the end. there’s a lot of resentment, a lot of pain, confusion, and hurt. but there’s also no need to sit here and expect the world from someone who is too indecisive to give that to themselves. of course their love for muse a will forever be there, but there’s no need dwell on something that isn’t there anymore. they don’t jump back into the dating pool right away, but eventually they do & think this may be their happiness they’ve been waiting for after they stopped waiting for. or maybe they knew waiting for muse a was something hopeless in the end. 

“asking for space, i’d give my leg for it.”

 “the option was to stay and ride, i picked a side” 

“you want me to stay here, mother all your sons now.”

hate the club = where they meet again

muse a has coped a lot with the club, drinking, yet staying low & pretending things are fine. they know they lost a dime piece. losing someone that’s not even close to what’d they get ever again. even though their city is very big it seemed like the universe was on different timing trying to get these two to reconnect again. at first muse b pretends they don’t see the other. maybe thinking if they act like their presence isn’t there it would delete their existence. muse b is still in a relationship with their current partner but are they fulfilled? all i know one drink, turns into three, and three drinks turns into let’s get an uber home and catch up on that time we missed with each other.  “tired of going out, scared i’d run to you.”

 “damn you know i hate the club, but i came because i know you’d show up.”

“drunk when i call you monet, beg you to walk me out.”

Picture this. 

Jungkook sent you a text, claiming to be sick. He said:

jungkook (liar) 3:09PM: no fr i get so dizzy standing up lol

jungkook (liar) 3:09PM: deadass i’m wearing like 7 layers and i’m chilly af .. need the warmth of ur arms, baby 🙏🏼

jungkook (liar) 3:10PM: do u think u can come by w some medicine? i’d owe u like… my whole heart

jungkook (liar) 3:10PM: nvm gave that to u already 😘✋🏽

Your natural response to his concerning text messages was to call him. When you called to check up on him, you noted how he coughed at every perfect pause... How his voice was toned groggy with a hint of pathetic. 

Just as pathetic as his lie. 

Does he think you're dumb? Fine. Two can play this game.

The second Jungkook opens the door and is greeted by his friends, grinning goofily with alcohol in their hands—he feels the urge to shut the door at their face. “Ah, for fucks sake—”

“Not so fast!” Hobi squeals as he grabs your wrists and tugs you from the back of the crowd to the front. Offering you to Jungkook, Hobi winks, “I believe this belongs to you.”

Jungkook’s eyes soften at the sight of you.

Lowering his head, he purses his lips for a kiss. You blink at him, letting him stand there like a fool. A few of his friends chuckle at the rejection, but it doesn’t dishearten Jungkook. Instead, he lifts his head and carries on. 

Hey, the kiss was worth a shot. 

With a patient tone, he tries to talk this out. “I thought it was just going to be you coming over...”

Shrugging at him, you answer; “And I thought you were sick.” 

"Well, what can I say? I always feel better whenever you're around." Jungkook chides.

Unimpressed, you tsk at him. “Nice try, buddy.”

Your hunch was right.

Jungkook wasn't sick.

There was no eye bag in sight, no cough to be heard, and with the short amount of time it took him to answer the door; he doesn't seem dizzy at all. If anything, he looks freshly showered and prepared.

For a sick man, his 5PM fit was rather suggestive. He's wearing jeans, and a white wife beater with an off-white button-up unbuttoned. He must know he's hot, right? He wore this on purpose.

"A little dressed up for someone who should be pretending to be sick..." you poke his chest.

Jungkook grins, instantly shrugging his button-up off. "Oh, my bad. Here, I'll undress and—"

"Jungkook!" you gasp as you tug his button-up back on. "Your friends are here! Don't be so shameless—"

"Whose fault is that?" he laughs. "___, was I not clear when I asked for you? You. Not the circus.”

“Hey!” Nam Joon cries from the crowd. “Are you calling me a clown?”

Jungkook lifts his head and shakes it. Smiling at his hero, he assures Nam Joon; “Not you, hyung. I love you.”

Earning a few laughs, the moment ends when Jin interrupts and pushes past you. Jungkook places his arm in front of your body, gently moving you against the wall. He shoots Jin a glare but Jin doesn't seem to catch on. He makes one final comment before inviting himself into Jungkook's home; “Stop sucking Joon's dick and let us in!”

As his friends cheer and begin to invade his home, you stand still and laugh at them hustling in. As they make random remarks, Jungkook warns them not to touch certain things in his living room and that his bedroom is off-limits. Walking in, his friends can't help but feel out of place when they spot the homecooked meal Jungkook prepared for you two. The table is all set up. The projector is ready to go in the living room corner, accompanied by the ever so comfy set up of pillows and fuzzy blankets on the couch… The fuzzy blanket on the couch that Taehyung and Hobi have now wrapped themselves in.

Yeah..

Jungkook did not see this coming. He groans at the very sight. His plans were ruined.

Once Jimin gets his little ass inside, you take that as your cue to head in. You duck under Jungkook's arm and just as you think you’re about to get away—he stops you. He takes a step back and swoops his other arm around your waist.

“Not so fast.”

You huff. “Okay. I’ll walk in slow motion—”

“___…” Jungkook says in a warning tone. “Yah, I said I was sick and you show up here with my friends?”

You poke his chest. “I had a feeling you were up to no good. I brought reinforcement.”

For the most part, Jungkook likes to think he has you figured out. Then, you pull shit like this and he is completely tongue-tied.

Jungkook can’t help but applaud your move. It’s petty and nonchalant… It’s well played. Yet, he feels bittersweet at the very realization that you’ve outsmarted him so early on. 

To be fair, his main moves are centered around lies. 

… Is it so wrong that he thought he could at least get one last good lie before facing the truth?

The truth is that he has grown to like you so much he has completely lost control of his words and thoughts. Every time he’s around you—that’s it. That’s the entire moment. That’s his entire world. He doesn’t know how to keep it that way, you know? He hasn’t figured out how to freeze time and just be with you. So, he lies. He lies in an attempt to make the moment last just a second longer. 

He knows he could have you with a simple conversation and his bunny smile. He knows he’s kindhearted and would be a great boyfriend if you let him… He’s just having a hard time navigating through all the feelings. They consume him faster and fiercer than he expected. The only way to keep up is to keep you near, and the only way to keep you near is to keep making excuses. 

Thus, this week’s excuse. 

He huffs at you. "A home-cooked meal, a movie on my projector, and comfy blankets... Means I'm up to no good? Come on, ___. This is ridiculous!"

"You've been so mischievous ever since—"

"It was just the ice skating thing!" Jungkook defends himself.

"It was also the pocky thing—"

His eyes light up. Jungkook’s lips curve into a smirk. "Ah... Thinking about our kiss, huh?"

Now you feel sick.

Was he serious? How does he do this to you? He says everything so bluntly and out of pocket, your tummy has no choice but to flip upside down and feel all the butterflies flutter.

"N-no!" you panic.

"Pucker up and prove me wrong," Jungkook insists, shutting his eyes and pursing his lips at you. "Like you said, I'm not sick. Kissing me won't get you sick—love sick, maybe..."

You cross your arms at him.

"Jungkook."

Opening his eyes one at a time, he puts his hands up and lets you go. He'll admit defeat here. Clearly, you aren't happy with his moves...

He'll try this.

He'll try honesty.

“___," he smiles, attempting to lighten the mood. "Hey, I was trying to—”

“Flirt?” you finish his sentence. “Yeah, sure… Has it ever occurred to you that you can flirt with me without lying?”

His eyes widen. 

“Does it bother you that much?” He asks, feeling like he is completely messed up. “I’m sorry, baby. I thought it was harmless—”

You shake your head, denying his accusation. It was deeper than that. It is the principal and the root of his lying being a habit in your relationship.

“It’s not that it bothers me that much… It's just... Y-you don't have to do all this, you know? I like getting to know you, but it feels like it's impossible. You keep setting up scenarios for yourself to look good in or for me to take care of you in. I'd do it regardless if you're hurt or not. You know that, right?"

"I do," Jungkook agrees. "I just..."

You look at him with sincere eyes. "Jungkook, I'm just not understanding... Why? It’s just weird to me that you were so confident and honest when you confessed. To be honest, I really admire that part of you. B-but now that you’re… That w-we’re…. Uhmm—it's different. You're acting differently. You can flirt with me all you want. It's whatever... But maybe try something else? I'm tired of you lying, Jungkook.”

He gulps.

"You want honesty?" Jungkook begins. "Here it is... I like you too much. Like, so much that I don't know what to do with myself whenever you're around—not to mention it's even worse when you're not. I want your attention. All the time. Everything about me for everything about you."

"Jungkook—"

"Can you wait for me?" He asks you unexpectedly. "Wait for me to get it right... Because I know I can. I will get it right."

When you two join everyone inside, Jungkook’s apartment is filled with so much chaos it’s difficult for him not to A) partake and B) be upset about everyone crashing his date night (by ambush). 

Honestly, Jungkook’s been pretty busy lately. He’s been neglecting his social life as school, work, and you (not that he’s complaining) have been taking over. In a way, he finds it sweet that you ruined his plans with yours. Especially since you came in with all his friends. It was a nice surprise. He will definitely take note of your sneaky ways too. 

By the time everyone gets hungry, there’s barely any space for anyone to eat. Some friends are sitting on the floor, eating off the coffee table or parts of the couch. Others are eating standing up, and the rest crowd over his tiny kitchen island and dining table. There are a few girls you’ve invited here and just as usual, you all went to the bathroom together. As you all enter back into the scene, there is absolutely no space. 

“___!” Jin calls you over. “Eat with us.”

You look at the girls and exchange laughs. They tease you before pushing to towards the dining table. As you approach, you realize there’s barely space let alone a seat. Without much thought, you gravitate towards Jungkook who is sitting and eating. Squeezing your way through, he notices you and nods towards Hobi. Hobi then responds by handing you a plate of food Jungkook set aside for you. Taking the plate, you thank Hobi. Jungkook then pushes his chair back and just as he’s about to get up from his seat to give to you—

“No, it’s okay. Sit.” You insist. 

“But you don’t have a seat—”

Then, it happens so naturally.

You place your plate on the table next to his and take a seat on his lap. When you do this, all the boys exchange looks but say nothing. Their eyes almost pop out of their head and Hobi even chokes on his food. He tries to hide it and turns away so you don’t think twice about it. They’re all aware of how shy you are and this? This was a big thing for Jungkook that they couldn’t ruin. You were finally coming out of your shell.

Thank god.

Meanwhile, Jungkook feels winded. 

He can’t believe this. 

He can’t believe you.

But given the circumstances… He might just have to. So, he doesn’t say anything. Instead, he smiles at you warmly and tells you that he put all your favourites on your plate. He tells you to eat everything and that he ordered strawberry bingsoo for dessert. 

“I love strawberries!” you gasp. Looking up, you bat your eyelashes and tease him, “yah, you make it too obvious you have a crush on me… You know that?” 

Jungkook squints at you, followed by scrunching his nose. You lean against his forehead and mimic his little stare. 

It takes everything in him to not lean in and kiss you.

Slowly but surely, everyone leaves. The only ones left are you, Jungkook, and the other 6 clowns. Yoongi and Jin went out to start the cars while Joon, Taehyung, Jimin, and Hobi finished up taking the trash out or washing the dishes. 

You and Jungkook are tidying the living room. He thanks you for organizing the little get-together and apologizes again for lying to you about being sick. You tell him it wasn’t that serious—it was just built-up confusion and frustration. Further, you tell him that you don’t want him to see you as someone that he has to jump through hoops to spend time with. You tell him you want it too. You want to spend time with him too. You want to get to know him too. 

You want to fall in love—

"I can do that," Jungkook nods, understanding where you're coming from. Your thoughts are interrupted as he fluffs the final pillow and grabs your hands. He squeezes them and then lets go. "But only if you stop being so oblivious. At least try, you know? It's hard for me too. Like, we're dating and I'm trying to woo you and shit—"

Dating?

Woo you?

Shit.

Your heart skips a beat.

"Wait," you pause. "Jungkook, a-are we dating?”

Just when he opens his mouth to speak, Hobi interrupts. 

“___, let’s go! Jin wants to race Yoongi!” 

Jungkook blinks at Hobi. “You’re not racing when ___’s in the car. Are you mad?”

Hobi lifts his hands. “Shit man, I’m just the messenger!”

Without skipping a beat, Jungkook turns to you with stern eyes. “I’ll drive you home.”

You decline. “You’re already home. Relax, it’s Jin. He’s all talk and no bite.”

“___…”

As a compromise, you promise him; “I’ll ride in Yoongi’s car.”

He thinks about it for a moment. Then, he realizes he has no other practical choice. “Fine. At least if you guys do race, you’ll be in the winning car.”

Hobi coughs. “Yo, what the fuck? I’m riding in Jin’s.”

You laugh and tell Hobi you’ll meet them out the door in a second. Hobi leaves immediately, yelling at Jimin to trade spots with him so he can ride with Yoongi. Once he’s out the door, Jungkook’s apartment falls in silence. 

“.... I better get going,” you breathe. “I’ll see you around?”

Scanning his apartment, you smile at the sight of everything being tidy. Picking up your feet, you head towards the door. Like a sad puppy, Jungkook trails behind you.

As you head out, Jungkook feels an urge in his stomach to make this moment last longer. “Oh... S-sure. See you at the library tomorrow?”

“You hate the library.”

“No, I don’t—”

“It’s also Saturday tomorrow.”

Jungkook blinks at you. “I love spending my Saturdays in the library.”

Giggling at his awful attempt, you remind him, “hey, we just talked about you and your fibs—”

“Sorry, sorry,” Jungkook surrenders. He puts his hands up and tilts his head. Pouting as you put your shoes on, he continues to ramble. “See what I mean? I say the wildest things just to be with you.”

“Yeah, yeah,” you say, plopping back up. Jungkook then helps you put your jacket on and gives you your tote bag. “Whatever you say, liar.”

He rolls his eyes at you. As you open the door, you face him with a silly face. He ruffles your hair as he bids his farewell, “Goodnight. Text me when you get home, baby.” 

Then, just like that, the door shuts and Jungkook is all alone.

As he turns away and finally feels like he can catch his breath after everything that happened between you two tonight, he hears the door knock. Turning back, he reaches for the doorknob, opens the door, and sees you standing there. 

“Did you forget something?”

“Goodnight kiss.”

He draws a blank. 

“What—”

Jungkook’s heart skips a beat as you tiptoe and reach for the nape of his neck and pull him close. Leaning in, you press your lips against him and kiss him softly. Without hesitating, he kisses you back and chases your lips the second you pull away. 

You pull away too fast for his liking.

“Okay, goodnight—”

He kisses you again, deepening it as much as he can. When you pull away to catch your breath, he sneaks in one last kiss. Then, he kisses your cheeks and turns you around. Before sending you off, he teases you one last time. 

“Go away. I hate you.”

Laughing at his words, you realize that sometimes—they aren’t so bad.

Him and his lies.

You and your reading in between lines.

It’s Tsu’tey and Jake:

Jake: Are you sure this is a good idea adopting a human son?? It’s really difficult raising a kid on your own…and DONT YOU HATE HUMANS?

Tsu’tey picking up baby spider holding him close to his chest: Untrue, I’m a mother father now. It really changes your perspective.

Jake: And won’t you find it difficult juggling a human kid and your role as Olo'eyktan?

Tsu’tey (not missing a beat with the most deadass stare): You can juggle these nuts

Ngl I think Jake would just: 🧍‍♂️ then bust out laughing 😂

Ever since I started Clavis’ route and realized that Chev is definitely autistic and not just a miserable dick, that’s all I’ve been able to think about, so I’m making a post about it. The following is a list of stuff from him that seems 100% autistic to me. My qualifications here are just my “as*erger’s” diagnosis I got in 7th grade and the fact that just about every person I’ve ever known is neurospicy.

Hyperlexia, obviously. Normies don’t have entire personal libraries and do the Spencer Reid thing of reading fucking everything all the time and then remembering all of it after seeing it like once.

Callous, antisocial tendencies, lack of social skills and active avoidance of social interaction that makes it seem like he finds it challenging/tiring to perform social interactions successfully so he just avoids them altogether. This is not the same as being an introvert and like, the girls who get it get it, the girls who don’t don’t.

That really strong pattern recognition which allows him to easily make really accurate predictions and makes up a big chunk of what gets labeled as “genius.”

High intelligence, especially since it’s coupled with such a complete lack of social competency.

How harsh his expression is all the time, like he has a really bad case of RBF, makes it seem like he really just doesn’t bother masking at all since he has enough privilege and power that he doesn’t have to, which goes with his aversion to social interaction and his ability to successfully lead a whole ass faction in spite of being so socially inept.

I also think that the combo of the strong sense of justice and the tendency for black and white thinking that’s so characteristic of ASD could contribute to his ability to make tough calls most people couldn’t without seemingly any emotions getting in the way. For example, with Bloodstained Rose Day, he could deadass look at it like “well 1000 people is less than the whole fucking population so alright, go on and just kill them, it’s worth it” and not bat an eye because it’s objectively correct.

He could be especially perceptive due to like sensory sensitivities (idk how to say that so it doesn’t sound super redundant but you know what I mean), which could contribute to his ability to always know when someone is trying to kill him or detect poison or whatever the fuck else.

Now, I haven’t actually read his route yet so maybe I’m wrong but I really don’t think I am lol. Lmk what y’all think!

[saintobio]

hi, saint! omg i finally caught your ask box open. first of all, i really love sy like it’s so heart-wrenching and deadass, i’ve been thinking about this for months. it’s literally one of the most beautiful works here in tumblr and as a writer myself (though i mostly write fluff and a bit of angst here and there mehehe), i have so much respect for you and i absolutely love what you do, like your craft is amazing and i hope you’re taking some much needed and well-deserved time here and there for yourself since you mentioned you’re feeling a bit fatigued.

i’d just like to ask the following:

1.) since i remember this one ask, and you’ve been pretty upfront about the timetable of sy with previous asks from years ago, i know you clarified that sy11 will be the climax (dear god how am i ever going to manage) so does it still stand that the angst will last ‘till sy14 since the only reason the timetable changed is bc one chapter split into two?

2.) also, i feel really bad for akemi lately like i get that all the girl wants is to be loved and to have a family, but seeing satoru ditch her like that on their date and then refer to keeping her around as just “fine”, is it really meant to resemble satoru’s earlier dynamic with yn in sn wherein they were only together because they “should” be together (lately, i’ve been noticing that the way you write the nuances of satoru’s thoughts about akemi always involves the word: “should”—)?

because if it is, you’re a genius, my god, the many “full circle” moments in sy (e.g. the encounter with sera!) just demonstrates your mastery and control of the plot and its overall dynamic. i honestly thought, at some point, gojoyn moments would be unsalvageable given the current conflict with akemi, but the way you’re steadily steering it back to the main couple is just…fucking flawless.

a long and happy life to you, our queen! 🩵👑

1) yes, angst will still progress until sy14. i’m surprised you still remember that? it’s been over a year gahhh 😫

2) fair point !! although i’m not sure this is something i can answer at this stage :))) that man is complicated as we all know

and thank you so so much T^T i really appreciate it like idek what to say i just wanna cry HSJS and also good luck to ur writing loveee <3 i’m sure you’re doing amazing urself !!

I’M IN SCIENCE CLASS RN BUT I GOT AN IDEA FOR AN MXTX CROSSOVER

So I read in a meta post that it was mentioned in canon SVSSS that Airplane bro has written other stallion novels and that PIDW is just his most successful.

What if prior to writing all these stallion novels, he wrote MDZS and TGCF. It was smth he genuinely enjoyed doing but it didn’t really earn him cash bc it didn’t do well (IMPOSSIBLE I KNOW) so he kinda forgot about them. Both stories were finished though.

Bruh what if Wei Ying and Lan Zhan end up in SVSSS bc WY was messing with some talismans and ended up transporting them there. Meanwhile Xie Lian and Hua Cheng end up in SVSSS because of a mishap in Heaven.

I can already imagine Qinghua shaking when he sees these four and getting slightly emotional because they were created when he was still hopeful and somewhat naive regarding how he would get his income.

Shen Yuan is internally fanboying because as a dedicated fan critic, he also read MDZS and TGCF and greatly enjoyed it. Like yes my man is oblivious as fuck regarding romance as a whole, but he could care less about the main pairing being gay. He was only reading them for the lore.

WY and LZ are lowkey panicked but I can see WY somehow getting along well with SY because they end up bonding over being constantly wrecked by their husbands.

XL and HC are confused and kinda wary but they warm up to Bingqiu and Wangxian after a bit. Binghe prolly tries to give XL some cooking advice with HC lowkey breathing down his neck because if Binghe ends up unintentionally insulting XL then they’re definitely gunna have a problem.

Ngl I can kinda see Hua Cheng and Lan Zhan kinda doing their own thing in comfortable silence because if their mutual understanding of each other in terms of devotion. Binghe joins them from time to time when all three of their husbands hang out by themselves. Like I can imagine Lan Zhan composing a new song, Hua Cheng making a mini statue, and Binghe making everyone a meal.

Meanwhile Shen Yuan and Wei Ying end up convincing Xie Lian to do all sorts of ridiculous shit with them. If you guys are questioning why Shen Yuan would agree to any of this my answer is simple, this man may be a lofty immortal but he’s still a shut-in from the 21st century. He has a lot of semi-pent up crackhead energy.

Xie Lian is confused but he’s enjoying himself so he doesn’t question it and is just enjoying having some new friends. Wei Ying just wants to encourage the chaos.

WAIT FUCK WHAT IF WEI YING MEETS QINGHUA-

Lan Zhan and Mobei-jun are going to be drinking vinegar because if their husbands end up having a conversation then everyone is screwed.

Wei Ying is a genius, but Qinghua deadass created the mechanics of MDZS, TGCF, and PIDW. My man has a shit ton of knowledge and he’s gunna use it. Pretty sure Qinghua and Wei Ying end up doing most of the with figuring out how to send everyone back to their of worlds.

[zealotic]

Ok I’m sorry not to be that gay but I just smoked an fat blunt and went and rewatched the girl group challenge from this season and maybe I’m crazy but I don’t think this season is getting enough hype or their flowers bc deadass that was the best girl group challenge in HERSTORY. Period. Full stop. I know I know I stan the season 8 bitch perfect and I be bing bangin some bongs all day long and you KNOW RUWU, Legends AS7, and Pop off Atè were on repeat for literal months. But the fucking choreo… the styling…the lyrics the vocals like literally no one flopped. Morphines lyrics saphiras flow their choreo THE FACT THAT THEY DID A GROUP OUTRO FOR THE FIRST TIME!?!?!? Dawns verse will not leave my boyfriends mind lmfao and Q’s vocals were incredible. Courage to love plane was funny and tsunamis lyrics ATEEEEEEE but fucking AMANDA AND PLASMA SINGING AND ADDING AD LIBS OVER THE CHORUS!?!?!? HELLO!?!?!? And we don’t even need to discuss ASMR we all saw with our eyes why they won the lyrics the unity and choreo nymphias movements Mya’s lyrics MEGAMI LITERALLY ATE SHES A LYRICAL GENIUS ISTG and even Genevas verse was so cool and witty like cmon yall this was IT as far as girl groups and I need them to release this shit on Apple Music nowwwwww

This morning I started reading Damianya’s longest fic on AO3 and probably most liked/read fic and lemme tell y’all. It truly deserves the hype. Gem. Golden. G.O.A.T. Author, you’re a fucking Genius !

The second chapter got me so shocked and I was like “What ??? Deadass ?” and now I’m so politely invested in it. The Twiyor is giving what they are supposed to give.

I’m addicted, there are like 50 chapters, I’m so happy. You should read Guiding Star. All of you. It’s like series, a Korean drama, a soap opera, a never ending novel. I hope there will be some smut <3

Idk it’s actually almost hilarious that they made Dracula in Netflixvania just… Some guy

You could argue that the show ‘tried’ to showcase him as an extremely intelligent and powerful being but if you remove the part where he’s old and has a house that moves and he’s literally no different than any other vampire so all that build up was for absolutely fucking nothing. In Netflixvania vampires ruling large sectors of land isn’t special [Especially when Camilla says something about her being a regional ruler like that’s borderline insignificant], vampires having supernatural powers isn’t special, vampires being intelligent beyond their era isn’t special. Dracula isn’t special.

I’m not sure if they just missed the point of his character that badly or if they genuinely didn’t know how to make him a cruel, obsessive, vengeful monster AND a merciful, loving, compassionate father and husband even though those two aspects of his character are so intrinsically linked they can’t be separated.

They tried making him a father and husband and they tried making him a monster but for one reason or another they couldn’t do both so his entire character was watered down at best

Dracula lost all dignity the moment Carmilla #girlbossed into the throne room:

Look at him. He can't even tell his own court to be silent. Maybe you should try to raise your voice, genius?

And then there's Carmilla. She literally stands there, smug as hell, and her very first course of action is to blame Dracula for moving the castle around, insult his generals for being incompetent and in disarray, and oh, question him in front of everyone why didn't he just turn Lisa? What, did he like having a pet? Like, the sheer amount of blatant, brazen disrespect!

(I also misremembered Carmilla's line. I thought the implication was "well, had you turned her, she would still be alive". No, she just deadass calls Lisa his pet. In front of him.)

... Dracula does nothing to her.

Oh, he pretends to be furious, red eyes and all. But he only asks her "why did you do that?" (after some personal smalltalk, may I add) and Carmilla is like "eh everyone is thinking the same thing, so I wanted to put you on the spot <3", and... nothing happens from here. He's like "welp, nothing I can do to her, she can rejoin the others".

Do I need to say what Dracula does to people who disrespect him?

And this is his prized General whom he needs. Not a random "regional ruler", one of many.

Also look at Carmilla's mannerisms in the second scene. She's like "yes?" with a cocked eyebrow and a hand on her hip, before shifting to a more respectful stance. She's lying out of her sparkly ass. This is as subtle as a taser to the balls.

I'm not impressed by Carmilla's manipulations when literally everyone around her is a giant, steaming idiot.

Also, another thing that bothers me. Dracula in S2 is frequently depicted in his... private quarters, I think? This room with the fireplace. And look at the framing:

Carmilla is standing above Dracula, who is slumped in a low, unassuming chair.

Framing matters to convey how important a character is. Observe:

Dracula in S2 is constantly put on the same level as his subordinates. This is made even more blatant in the scene where he asks Isaac if he's still his friend, where he sits next to him.

Dracula is not a ruler in S2, and it was done on purpose. He is portrayed as a depressed old man who only wants to die and take everyone else with him, and he has lost his mind so much that Carmilla can take the reins for herself. The OCs all sit around and talk about him as if he's a delusional idiot, looking down on him, and we're supposed to think they have a point because they are never challenged on it. This is the main villain of the franchise. The fucking FRANCHISE and SHOW are named after HIS DAMN CASTLE! He's kind of important!

Shankar talks as if he had the idea of turning Dracula into a tragic figure, but he did not. That has been a core part of his character since SoTN. And expanding on it would have worked fine! But they went way too far in that direction, and forgot that yes, Dracula is a grieving husband with a complicated relationship with his son, yes he can feel emotions... but he's also the fucking Dark Lord with the legions of Hell under his command, he can curse and possess and shapeshift and you do not fuck with him unless you're a Belmont or you have Dracula's own power by your side.

And as I said, the fact that Trevor can barely scratch this neutered version of Dracula only speaks poorly of him too.

Okay who wants to hear about my literally unbelievable blorbo gift (hint: it was a Cameo from Neil Newbon as Heisenberg and it went off the rails in the best possible way)

As I mentioned, my spouse got me a Heisenberg blanket - he also got me a Heisenberg pillow which is adorable and hilarious. I’ll upload pics of them later today. But, anyway, after I open them he’s like “okay now check your email” and of course that’s when I see the cameo email.

Y’all. When I tell you this video was like 5 minutes of pure insanity lmao. It starts of with him giving me the “Well hey there [my name] or should I say buttercup” which ahdlflfhahdlgjhahsjd but then it turns into a rambling story about how “this guy came to the factory and said you were a big fan of me and uh, well I didn’t know it was your husband and I may have turned him into a big fan. Literally. I put a propellor on his face. Sorry about that.”

And then, you cannot make this shit up, he slides into this sort of wink wink nudge nudge “well I mean since he’s dead and you’re not seeing anyone… 👀” and proceeds to invite me down to the factory etc. He promises cake and a personalized tour of the place, then out of nowhere is like “[my name] I’m so lonely”

Then he does a complete 180 again and goes back to describing our date plans and adds, “and hey look don’t worry about your husband, we can keep him around if you want, he can be a kitchen appliance - we can use his fan head to chop vegetables for dinner.” I LITERALLY CANNOT.

You know what the best part was? At the end I’m cry-laughing and I turned to my spouse like “that was hilarious I can’t believe you asked him to turn you into a soldat, genius.”

And my husband deadass goes, “I didn’t ask him to do any of that. I just said ‘Neil my wife loves Heisenberg can you have him wish her a merry Christmas.’”

💀💀💀

I need to ramble on about the finale for a sec! I can’t get over how excellent it was. 

June: MY BABY GIRL. I love this character a non-normal amount! Seeing her get hit by that truck was excruciating. I knew an assassination attempt had to be around the corner. God, it was brutal. I absolutely loved seeing her snap into action after that and say “We need to get out of here. Now.” They can’t help Hannah if they’re dead and they must protect Nichole. Seriously just June Osborne at her finest. *chef’s kiss* 

Nick: THAT PUNCH. The way he walked in there will definitely be living rent free in my head. I had a feeling he would end up taking the deal with Tuello by the end. It was absolutely perfect. THE FOREHEAD KISS in the hospital was everything. Now he’s blowing his life up cause of his love for June. I so can’t wait for her to find out about all this! 

Commander Mackenzie scares the hell out of me. I think he’s going to be The Villain next season for sure. 

Janine: Her saying “My June” destroyed me. The way her being led out  mirrored June in the season 1 finale was incredible. I’m lowkey very worried for her. To be positive, like June, she’s like the cat with nine lives. So I’m holding on to that. I seriously just want Lydia to help her escape so she can reunite with June. 

Aunt Lydia: They are 100% moving her in the direction of her Testaments arc. I can’t wait to see what she’ll do in season 6.

Moira and Rita: I miss them having more screen time. That’s like my biggest complaint of this season. Fingers crossed they get the time to shine they deserve next season. 

Tuello: I really am enjoying him this season. I can’t wait for more scenes with him and Nick. Their dynamic is so interesting, cause they do have quite a bit in common. I lowkey think he ships June x Nick. 

That ending: The way it mirrored the very beginning off the show was pretty excellent. I didn’t really have June and Nichole on the run on my bingo card. I love it so much! It makes a lot of sense. I did feel earlier in the season there might be a shift towards Nichole needing to be protected. Definitely also gives prelude to The Testaments vibes. Which makes me incredibly emotional. 

Serena: Deadass wasn’t thinking about Serena until she showed up. That ending was genius! I love how it was shot. The diaper line was hilarious. Very interested to see what their dynamic will be like next season. They aren’t friends, as June made perfectly clear. They are familiar faces. Going into the unknown with a tiny human in toe. I’d want a familiar face around.

ok i’ve listened to the whole album now. lemme just go ahead and say that this is deadass a masterpiece. she’s a musical GENIUS like idk what else to tell you?? there are no skips like this album is so GOOD. and there are two more acts still to come, that’s the even crazier part. i’ve only listened to the whole thing once ofc so i can’t give a true ranking or anything yet, but what i can say is that “break my soul” shouldn’t have been the leading single (in my humble opinion). maybe ‘shouldn’t’ isn’t the right word, but what i mean is that it’s nowhere near the best song on the album. and it’s a great song. that’s how great the album is. idk i’m just still reeling and this is definitely a ramble. i’ll have more coherent thoughts later but just walk away from this knowing that bey is a legend, ok?

I would like you to know that if I could tattoo all 4.7k of Safe onto my body I would that shit was so good,,,i’ve been in an Eddie hole since it came out in may and I’ve read probably over a hundred Eddie fics (I wanted to say hundreds- plural- but I was like that sounds like an exaggeration but I’ve been consuming them at an ungodly pace and I feel like I just keeping mowing through them so it feels like multiple hundreds at least 2 100s yk, or 200 as the crow flies- side note to the side note as I’m typing this I’ve realized that I should start saying as the crow flies more often because it’s hilarious and I think I’ll be using it in only wrong scenarios from now on) anywhores Safe is -and I’m being so fucking serious bro look me in my eye holes when I say this I’m so deadass- top three eddie fics and I don’t mean that in the way that people do when they’re like top three ranking of this subject go! no I mean I’ve read hundreds and only 3 so far (3 now with Safe) have actually struck me as genius in all ways,,, characterization, plot, descriptive writing, ambience, all of it and those 3 I love with my whole heart equally so it’s not like a first second third thing like I said it’s literally just these three get kept when the apocalypse comes and I live in my forest bunker hole nursing a can of expired raw spaghettios ,,, okay I bid thee ado blessed art thou who writeth such masterpieces as Safe

no bc this is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me i love u so much u have no idea how much this means to me!!!! been reading this every morning n every night like a mantra THANK YOU

Why I ship Jimmy x Cindy more than Timmy x Cindy

Ugh I’m so annoyed that my JN feels came back…lol. Anyways so I ship both of them so I’m not trying to hate on Tindy or whatever if that’s what the ship is called, but I’ve noticed a lot of people lately saying they like Tindy more than Jindy. I get that bc Jimmy sucks and I can’t stress that enough like no one hates Jimmy more than I do LOL, and it’s true af that Jimmy is toxic and Timmy was nicer to Cindy and actually payed attention to her. The reason why Jindy works better though imo is the fact that no one is realizing that Timmy is toxic too, for a different reason tho. First of all Timmy had to lie to Cindy that he’s a genius and pretend to be something he’s not to impress her, and Cindy made it clear from the start how she didn’t wanna date him if he wasn’t smart. When Cindy found out Timmy was actually dumb, she still did like him though, but I think that was mostly bc Timmy was just giving her attention and she was having fun pitting Jimmy and Timmy against each other and shit. Bc by the last Jimmy Timmy Power Hour special once Cindy already was aware Timmy isn’t actually a genius, all she seemed to care about was trying to get the two boys to fight over her to get their attention LOL. And it actually seemed like she became more interested in Jimmy again. But yeah as I was saying Timmy had to LIE to get Cindy to like him, Jimmy may be a douche but he wouldn’t lie to Cindy or be all fake and pretend to be something he’s not. Jimmy can be so honest and straightforward that he’s downright blunt sometimes. And one of the most important aspects of a relationship is trust and honesty, and Jimmy & Cindy have seen both the best and worst sides of each other over and over, but still love each other in spite of their flaws. And the fact that they fight so much too shows how they’re willing to be real with each other, bc they say the person you argue with the most is the person you love the most. I also feel like a big reason why Cindy fell for Timmy was just to spite Jimmy, I mean it was so obvious that she was trying to use him to make Jimmy jealous in a bunch of scenes, and the fact that she deadass kept comparing Timmy to Jimmy over and over, which showed she was really just fixated on Jimmy not Timmy. And I think the reason why Cindy was trying soooo hard to convince herself that Timmy is a genius too, was bc she was just upset with Jimmy for not being there for her or whatever so she wanted to attribute all of Jimmy’s traits and the things she likes about Jimmy onto Timmy.

Star of the Waning Summer by SeeTheVision (General Audiences, 43,190 words)

Finding out that the ancient Greek gods and goddesses are still around is something of a relief to Jeno. After all, it gives him someone to blame for every problem in his life.

(In which Jeno makes friends, kills monsters, and falls in love—not necessarily in that order)

My thoughts: this is a fucking fantastic fic you must read this fic oh my god, son of hephaestus jeno is my new religion op is a genius with all these godly-parent-to-member matchups and personal histories, my original note (which I still stand by) was: "This is deadass the best PJO fic I’ve ever read and it’s not even PJO. Like. NAILED the plot structure and characterizations and everything I’m obsessed. Immediate favorite" because yes, absolutely immediate favorite it's going right in the choice stock tag
