#'OH FORREAL??? YOU ACTUALLY LEGIT LIKE LIKE ME THE WAY I LIKE LIKE YOU???' OR SOME SHIT AND JSUT

[tragedyface]

AU where Lexi thinks her silly love spell on Fezco has really worked but he's actually just confessing his legit feelings to her

"Wait. Hold on. You don't mean this"

"No I do and I gotta tell you. Lexi, I love you. When I saw you yesterday night-"

"Fezco, I was dressed up as Bob frekin' Ross. Listen to yourself. Look, you don't love me. This is all my fault and I'll find a way to fix it. I am SO sorry I did this to you"

"You didn' do nothin' to me! I'm serious, I ... wait...shit, am I just bein' forreal dumb? Shit. Lexi, i'm forreal sorry, I shoulda thought this through. Of course you don't wanna be hearin' this from a loser drop out drug dealer"

"Oh no, no, please don't think that! I don't mean that I wouldn't WANT you to be in love with me, just that I don't think you are. I think someone- who didn't think it would actually work by the way- might have made you think you love me"

"...I'm, like, Cal Jacobs level of confused right now"

"OK, let's talk it back. You saw me last night and you suddenly felt something that you'd never in your life felt for me before, right?"

"Nah that's just it, I knew I liked you, that I'd liked for for forever, but last night I just looked over at you just bein' what you wanna be and I just knew I loved you. Maybe I loved you the whole time and yesterday was me just realisin'"

"OK. OK. When was the first time you thought 'oh she's...cute?'"

"Err, was the first time Rue was buyin' from me. Yeah, you was outside wearing a green sweater. But it was summer. Musta been a cool day. And I saw you through the window and I thought 'I wanna know who that is'"

"Really?"

"Yeah. What you talkin' 'bout someone made me think I like you?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe Rue had been saying exaggerated nice things about me...something like that"

"I don't think Rud be exaggeratin' 'bout you cus she sayin' you the best and I think you the best too"

"So you've liked me for a long time?"

"Yeah"

"OK. We should kiss, just to make sure"

"I'm down with that"

like forreal everytime i think na "ay naa man diay koy dump, pwede nako e post" or "basin pwede ko maka talk atong *someone* na im very comfortable w and stuff" then i stop myself cz ay dli man diay ko si *insert someone ik na very well-spoken and unafraid to show sensitivity and weakness to others* so dli ko maka inani cz that's not me in their eyes and ma bagohan sila and it'll be so embarassing for me and it'll be so hard to go back to the play-fighting, light relationship i have w everyone if ever i talk to them like ACTUALLY talk😭😭

bruh like idk if mapansin nila na everytime i type a serious paragraph kay naa juy giinsert na unserious things here n there to lighten the mood bc every single thing i say i think ab everyone who might see it and how embarassing it'll be for me:// cz im not the typa person baya to be sensitive and shitx and every convo i have w everyone i judt try to be funny or enjoyable or unsa buh not like this

TRYING SO HARD TO LET MYSELF TALK‼️‼️BUT I LEGIT CANT‼️‼️ LITERALLY‼️‼️

give me a break from being a people-pleaser for once

here's the link of you're interested:https://archiveofourown.org/works/23331001/chapters/55888633

it's an oc x bakugou, but i think it can easily be read as an x reader

Only For You

THE WAY SHE LEGIT THINKS AIZAWA IS HOMELESS IS SENDING ME.

also on a side note. how.????????...? how did you manage to make first person readable. I NEVER read first person because i cannot stand to read it. I am being completely serious i wanted to close the tab when i saw but i was like "but i need to respond to the ask somehow" so i read the first chapter and oh my god. How is this so good. And over 20 chapters i am so fucking excited (^)-(^)

I think it's because this actually reads like the reader's thoughts so it's like i can really see all this happening, idk but i'm into it.

i legit can't believe this is so good. Kudos to you forreal dude. also i'm binging and no one can stop me. can't wait for the rest of the chapters!!! ＼(❤ω❤)／

[sayitwityachest]

i actually like my prof despite her weird contradictions with feminism- she's a fun person and seems super heartfelt. That being said she is obviously biphobic. The fun thing about being bisexual is biphobia can be soooo easy to not notice bc so much of it the silence (uhem, invisibility) UNTIL bisexuality comes up. This is a class on feminism in the 60-80s, so of course bisexuality is not mentioned much (doesn't mean I'm not gonna talk about it a bunch in my own class discussions and analyses). The prof is eager to explain and apologize (and apologize and apologize and...) about how western feminist theory has been framed around white feminists and women, and that's how she learned it. And although she only really focuses on Black women and the ways they've been left out and screwed over, basically only paying lip service to other groups of non-white women, it does feel sincere (def clumsy tho). So, when we talk about political lesbianism and I bring up how it seems highly likely that the majority of political "lesbians" were bi women- and this was the first real mention of bisexuality during the semester- and this comment is greeted with soooo much enthusiasm, so much curiosity on the topic from other students- the prof is overwhelmed. Being a lesbian herself, she speaks so much on Lesbian Feminism- which is very interesting to learn about the history of btw some wild stuff forreal lol- and we talk about the sexual dynamics between men and women (in the context of heterosexual sex and relationships), but why did a student have to be the one who brought up bisexual women? You are teaching a theory class, teaching Simone de Beauvoir, but when one of these young women asks you so earnestly if there are any noteworthy bisexual feminists (as in theorists) you have to fucking google it and read a list that includes fucking lady gaga? Are you serious? Okay that's fine because i can talk about it, and i certainly did, and after she admitted in a somewhat sheepish manner "uh sorry- I don't know much about bisexuals." Why is it that I, a 21-year-old bisexual woman, was reading theory by lesbians and straight women before i even took this class, but you, a 55-year-old feminist scholar, can't be fucking bothered to know jack shit about bisexual women? Why is it that when you talk about your 200-level class (this is freshmen and sophomores- 18/19 y/o's) and your frustration towards their lack of understanding towards old school feminism you felt the NEED to say, " and you know... they're all ~bisexual~..." and never fucking elaborated on that. What the hell was I supposed to get out of that? What were you trying to communicate? Genuinely, besties, I don't know- I'm not even trying to be like "she's saying bisexuals are dumb" there are just so many fucking different reasons for her thinking that was a noteworthy thing to say that I might actually understand- not agree with, but understand, yes- that the fact that she thought it appropriate to say that and just leave it hanging like it was an explanation in itself makes me so angry. Who the fuck else gets treated like this? "And you know... they're all ~lesbians~/they're all ~straight women~" ????? that's not an acceptable thing to say in our social setting at all. Especially in terms of feminism. I know damn well there is AT LEAST one other bisexual girl in that class, and honestly, judging by the response to my comment on political lesbianism, probably a few more. But yep, let's mock bisexuals for being interested in feminism, for making up the majority of your intro to feminism class, let's fucking fumble through all discussions of bisexuality with "oh gees uh wow I never thought about it oopsies" like that's a legit excuse as a supposed expert on women. I'm tired.

[jennortegas]

oh my GOD. you're adorable. did i lie previously and say i've seen the TB movies? because... i haven't. slkhdfshlf actually THATS a lie, i think i've seen the second one but not the first. but that's legit how i watched the descendants movies, fdkljhfd so maybe i shoould add them to my list lmao. AHH. a brady girl bc of ross, god he's so hot. lela and the bikers seem dope though!! i've seen like all the music videos for the movies i've just never seen SEEN them you feel?

OMG YES WATCH BOTH TBM 1 AND 2. Honestly a lot of what I watch(ed) started off that way like with descendants I saw a picture of bal on pinterest and I was like oh worm? And thus my obsession was born and just in time because D2 hadn't even begun at that point so I was able to follow along with everything. Forreal though Ross is everything, Jaz is so lucky and also THEY'RE GOALS.

Phantom of the Megaplex is so underrated and I get why since it's not something everyone would love. It's not halloweentown but it's still good and has a special place in my heart. Also this is somewhat relevant, but can of worms is a movie that has stayed in my mind for the longest time and I deadass thought it was fake because no one talked about it but once I remembered the name I was validated. I stan the alien puppets as a fan of practical effects but god they're fucking terrifying and thats why its stuck with me for so long.

Maria watches friday night lights (#17)

wow 4x06 was such a rollercoaster ride! Here we go:

Okay this Matt and Julie scene with the two of them making out in the car demonstrates so much about why I love them —tho I’ve surmised there will be more trouble ahead before they get their happy ending. Julie remembers she has something to tell him; they banter about her being pregnant with twin aliens; and then she tells him she’d been meaning to surprise him with tickets to a music festival in Austin before his dad’s untimely death but is totally cool with not going if he doesn’t want to??? It’s like ugh these two are so cute and care so deeply for each other my heart 🥰😭 “The chapter said that when your dad dies, you should probably most likely go to a music festival.”

the rest of my flailing under the cut:

Omgggg that assistant coach who annoyed me earlier in the season is back with a vengeance making wild claims they can’t hold up ON CAMERA I am Eric Taylor in this scene

Damn I’ve always loved Tim and Lyla — I mean especially in season 3 and OOOOOH boy this reunion banter and make out sesh into Tim’s trailer had me fanning myself! super predictable when Lyla comes to see Tim at his TRAILER on “midterm break” but no less hot!

Oh shit Matt and his grandma got $$$ from the military? He gotta go to art school now, bish!

“I don’t understand why people keep asking me why I’m okay, I’m fine.” Honestly my partner started getting annoyed by people in this way after his dad died too, grief is WEIRD and hard!

I love watching a teen show where just taking off for a music festival for two days with her long term boyfriend is the big scandal.

Omg Landry you’re still talking about Tyra to Jess?! Stop doing this, bro! Lol Jess slaps him in the face right after I typed that. nice.

Lyla and Tim’s chemistry is still off the charts!!!!

Yeeeeesh that Becky and Lyla introduction was pretty yikes

Lol I love the assistant coach being tight-lipped with the reporters now re: the lions’ “guaranteed win.” did Eric chew him out lol

More in This Is That Shit I Like: Matt and Julie eating sandwiches on their car roof on the side of the road talking about how romantic it is! “Good sandwiches I put my heart and soul into.” Cutiessss but also sings to Saracen: ~you must deal with your grief, babe~

Jess’s relationship with Vince intrigues me. And I love the introduction of Jess’s dad’s bbq joint as another watering hole in East Dillon.

Becky, yikes, don’t go off on Luke, he was being so cute and respectful! Also he is much more age-appropriate than Tim and you are letting out your anger about your unrequited Riggins feelings on poor Luke!!! (Forreal am I supposed to like Becky? I have mixed feelings.)

baby Grace yelling “uh oh” as Tami leaves an angry voicemail for Julie lol

“Show them your ring, Tim.” Wow okay never change Billy Riggins (jk you should def change a lot of things)

“I think she asked me what it was like being pregnant.” Yes go off, Mindy, and Billy, don’t speak for your wife!! Lol Lyla’s gonna ride the bull? I love that Lyla and Mindy eventually got along.

awww Tim is so still in love with her, my heart! “You missed me.” “You had no idea.” Swoon

Omg this Becky and Lyla convo broke my heart and was super uncomfortable. Becky legit said, “You’re so lucky. You’re super pretty.” What does one say to that? Silently walking away with an awkward smile is all I could manage too, Lyla 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️

Are the panthers making fun of East Dillon players for watching game tape in Sears? Their blatant classism is gross, Oh wow, assistant coach finally steps up, nice! also obligatory fuck JD McCoy

Back to back Matt and Julie dancing in their hotel room and Tim and Lyla bedroom scene “thanks for coming back” “you’re welcome” my heart (you know the angst is coming but I love the soft moments we get first)

Awww vince’s mom wants to come to the game clean 🥺

Tami being unable to think about anything but Julie and not knowing where she is makes so much sense!! (oldest child vibe is reallll here) but damn she’ll have a rough transition if Julie goes away to school

Oh no Tim thinks Lyla will stay in Dillon baby noooo

“I know but I hate it, i don’t want her to go.” Oh Tami it’s so hard 🥺

WOW did not realize Matt didn’t know Julie wasn’t allowed to go to Austin until Landry called. It’s really cute that the reason saracen’s upset is bc he wants Eric and Tami to like him and that was not cool of Julie, at least let him decide if he wants to break the rules too!

Aw fuck there it is, what’s been bubbling under the surface all season: “the responsibility of having to stay in Dillon.”

Omg Vince’s mom actually showed up!!!

Oh whaatttttt they’re all sad they lost? Don’t be, babes! This is a sick underdog moment, y’all put up a fight against a team you thought was gonna slaughter you!!!

Gotta love the early 2000s indie band appearance concert trope!!! although yikes this fight, Julie desperately screaming “I love you” as the band plays!

Tim with the forehead kiss for Lyla at the bus stop fuck me up

Ohhh the thematic “stay” theme for both Tim/Lyla and Matt/Julie is just so *chef’s kiss* this show is a gift

“It was nice just to get away with you.” “I love you Julie.” “I love you Mattie.” Feels like a goodbye, man. Like they both know it’s not working right now by circumstance even tho they love each other 😭🥺

Julie breaking the fuck down when she gets inside yepppp! “I think he’s leaving” ME TOO 😭

Tami immediately putting her head on Julie’s shoulder is that good mom shit even tho she’s def gonna ground Julie’s ass later lol

“Do you have a broken heart?” “Was she the love of your life?” Why does Becky talk like the cringey Riverdale writers. I hope people won’t throw things at me but Becky annoys me and her soulmate speech is a stretch

“Becky.” “Yeah?” “Shut up. Please.” Lmao same tim 😂

Oh shit Matt issss leaving damnnnn! Dramatic Trauma Rama! feat pretty footage of matt driving away

Stray Kids When Their S/O is Shorter Than Them

Requested: this wasn’t actually formally requested but I thought I’d be fair to all my short people to have one just for them// thought don’t hate me if parts contradict with the tall s/o part

Member: Stray Kids

Plot: when their s/o is shorter than them

Genre:floof

Note: I saw this in the comments and was like why the hell not also sorry these are so short  [ Master List ]

[ C H A N ]

•I’m sorry did you hear that? No? Well it was Chan LETTING OUT THE BIGGEST FUCKING UWU

•Your official name is bby girl/boy it doesn’t matter if you have a name because now it’s invalid

•Head and forehead kisses for days

• and you can bet Chan is gonna come up from behind you and pick you up at the randomest times ever

•and you will never know if it’s a insult or if he just really finds your height that cute

•Though deep down you know that you go that boy whipped periodt

•big spooning you is his jam

•but every once and a while he’s all in for you attempting to big spoon him cuz he finds it cute

•like the way you can barely wrap your arms over him has him sent into uwus

[ W O O J I N ]

•Listen he doesn’t care how tall or how short you are, you’re dating and all this boy needs is your cuddles and love

•and if you ain’t gonna give that to this cute cuddly bear you can bet he’s using your small frame to his advantage

•he will literally make you stop whatever you're doing, pick you up and suddenly y’all are cuddling on the couch

•but who’s really complaining tho?

•doesn’t really pick on your height either

•besides the fact he might coo and tease you about your height if you ask him for help or for a lift

•he’s still gonna pick you up though

•because any reason to pick you up is a good reason to pick you up for a small cuddle session

•but legit all he wants is a good ass cuddle with his bby girl/boy

[ M I N H O ]

•HA y’all thought Minho wouldn’t bully your midget havin ass (jk I luv my short readers <3- don’t hurt me I’m short i swear)

•forreal won’t let you live a day without reminding you you’re shorter than him

•Though he loves you  and he makes sure you know he’ll love you no matter how “vertically challenged” you are

•But you best believe he ain’t letting you live a peaceful life

•He’s going to be that annoying boyfriend that rests his arm on your head, pretends not to see you, and ask if you need a lift to see and all that harmless stuff to annoy you

•and even though he’s an annoying prick he really enjoys when you do ask him for help

•or when he watches you get on your tippy toes for a kiss

•cause to him that’s the cutest shit ever and he can’t help but giggle every time you do

[ C H A N G B I N  ]

•a monumental moment for my boy changbin- (okay I’m sorry)

•ANYWay- will deadass actually watch you struggle (cuz he knows that struggle too wel-)

•and he won’t help till you’re either whining or giving him that cute ass pout that sends his heart soaring

•but he can only give you a boost cause y’all know our boy’s short

•though on the realest he really enjoys your height and thinks it’s the cutest

•like if he catches you in one of his hoodies he might tease you but deep down in his dark boi heart he’s uwuing

•yeah you know when the little prick laughed at you cuz your hair dryer suddenly was on the top shelf?

•lil hoe put it there cause he just wants to see you act cutely then proceeded to hold you to help you

•even tho sometimes you hit him cause your annoyed with his antics it’s worth the pain

[ H Y U N J I N ]

•deadass will laugh at your height struggles till maybe you kick him in the shins

•Though in honesty he thinks your height is absolutely the cutest most perfect for him

•Mostly because he has more excuses to hold you and give forehead/head kisses

•his favorite tho is when after a good ass nap you koala bear him

•but it’s mostly because he can continue to feel your warmth even tho he’s up and about in the dorm

•oH NO NVM HIS FAVORITE IS WHEN YOU ASK FOR SOMETHING FROM THE TOP SHELF AND HE HOLDS IT EVEN HIGHER JUST TO GET A CUTE LITTLE kiss uwu

•but either way he’d love how smol you are and sometimes wishes he could put you in his pocket

•so in conclusion who’s more whipped for who?

[ J I S U N G ]

•that one hoe that buys hoodies that he knows you’ll both like but mostly cause he wants to catch you in them

•and will be devastated if he ain’t seeing you in one or none of his hoodies smell like you

•honestly probably only one of the boys who’s absolutely obsessed with your height

•like he actually genuinely thinks your the purest and cutest of them all

•tip toe kisses has him sent, when you ask him for help to reach something has him uwuing, and little spooning you has him whipped

•point blank bis (okay I’ll stop)

•occasionally though will semi attack your height

•like if he’s really feeling playful you can bet your head is the next armrest

•or if you guys are in a cute little disagreement suddenly he can’t see you cuz the top of you head just barely makes his line of vision

•but either way he’s gonna be uwuing over you 25/8

[ F E L I X ]

•another super soft boy

•he has urges to roast you 80% of time but he won’t say em

•cuz you know he’s really trying to get that extra cuddle or kiss

•but when he does tease you it’s mostly to get you annoyed

•still though will probably get that cup on the top shelf no questions asked because he knows he can kiss your forehead before giving it

•but that’s like not even his favorite part

•he absolutely lovessss it it when you clinging onto him cuz he he’s a clingy person himself and just being able to feel your warmth while being able to hold you makes his hearts to back-flips

•like carrying you on his back, allowing you to wrap your arms around his ways or just laying on his chest IS HIS MOTHER FRICKEN JAM

•and the fact your so smol makes it 10x better js

[ S E U N G M I N ]

•”Sorry y’all hear something down there?”

•is a little bully but at the same time let’s you live...most of the time

•Will go from cooing over you to clowning on you for your height regardless if your taller or not

•like he’ll actually be going on about how he thinks your the cutest

•and then one second later will clown on you cause you had to climb the counter to reach the top shelve

•secretly loves when you ask him for help though

•but it ain’t really a secret cause he literally coos at everything you do

•is the most whipped even though likes  to tease you about your height

•mostly teases you cause he think your the cutest and since your so cute just can’t help but want to tease you

[ J E O N G I N ]

•doesn’t really have much of an opinion on your height

•but thinks it cute that you’re shorter because you can rely on him for reaching things that are to high or too far back in the self

•and he really likes that cause it’s usually him relying on his hyungs

•Might clown on your height here and there especially if you clown on him for something else

•like idk his cuteness what can you make fun Jeongin for actually?

•But over all he really likes your height because according to him it’s perfect “standing cuddle height”

•it’s also according to him it’s also really convenient

•cuz if his hyungs suddenly enter the room or walk in on both of you being cute

•he can slyly turn around and hide you even tho he knows very well y’all still getting tease

Eurovision 2010s: 75 - 71

75. Valentina Monetta - “Crisalide (Vola)” San Marino 2013

The middle chapter of one of Eurovision’s most epic saga’s. God, I may be an insane book nerd for looking for ~THE BEST STORY~ every year, but Valentina had one forreal and it was legit a great one. While the first chapter established Valentina as a universally beloved backstage darling, and the third rewarded her previous struggles with a spot in the finale, it’s the second that I hold dear the most: It put Valentina on the mark as an artist who mattered. Like a butterfly emerging from chrysalis, if you will? 🦋

Needless to say, it comes down to Valentina’s song, which is again, one of the better Siegel compositions: “Crisalide” has all I need in my Eurovision anthems: emotional imput, a great beat (made to resemble an irl heartbeat), a eurofriendly message about spreading wings and flying away, topped off with a KILLER KEY CHANGE. Like, this moment:

is one of spine-shivers. What a great entry. My 2013 self was DEVASTATED when she NQd, but my 2019 self is thrilled Valentina got to return and write history as Stan Marino’s first qualifier.  🦋 ALL HAIL THE LEGEND THAT IS VALENTINA MONETTA! 🦋 VOLA! INSIEME A MEEEEEEEEE 🦋

And that concludes San Marino! It’s pretty weird that I’m usually into “STANNING SHIT FOR THE SHITTINESS” movement, because San Marino is a country formed AROUND being deliberately bad. However, intentional humour is very often less funny than unintentional humour and because of this I find it very hard to get into the San Marinese shitfests. They’re capable of greatness though, and hopefully can capitalize on Serhat’s qualification to serve us some delicious campness in the future. 

________________________________________________________________

74. Greta Salóme - “Hear them calling” Iceland 2016

ANOTHER gut-twisting NQ. 😭 To be fair, I can sort of understand why Greta 2.0 flopped? The act is very similar to Sergey’s, but not as eye-catching, and the lighting is a bit too dark, making it dificult to connect with her.

However, having said that... what a STUPID reason to NQ one of the best songs in 2016 o__O. “Hear them calling” is a great song: It has a truly haunting atmosphere, a visually stunning act and infectuous melody. The only wish I have is that Greta had stuck to the Icelandic version though because that one is even more epic. 

Another thing I really like about “Hear them calling” is, well, Greta herself. I think she’s one of the most talented Eurovision songwriters, consistently churning out magical music, but at the same time is held back as a performer by her stagefright. Seeing her overcome it and ~blossom~ into a murder of crows the confident woman she deserves to be makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. BRING HER BACK (as a songwriter lol).

And with Greta’s elimination, HATARI are now the sole Icelandic rep standing. Love has won!

________________________________________________________________

73. Miki - “La venda” Spain 2019

LMFAO it truly was a crazy ride with Miki. When “La Venda” was first selected, it was a massive burst of uncoordinated positive energy, in desperate need of taming. A revamp polished off all the raw edges, pre-packaging it for greatness. “So it happens” BorisBubbles thought, taking an indifferent sip of cold coffee from a bone china mug. “Spain are going to break their flop streak :slurp:” 

Silly me, I had completely forgotten that, oh hello, this is fucking SPAIN and Spain doesn’t *do* competent whoops. Thank fuck they went all out with “La venda’s” staging because the results were fucking GLORIOUS. From the giant manikin rocking the dollhouse

over the go-pro,

to the technicolour explosions,

"La venda” sent a pyroclastic flow of party energy all over Europe, covering our faces with celebratory soot when we didn’t expect it. This... was fucking AWESOME though, because the eruption of Mount-St.-Nuñez was one of unbridled fun, but it also overloaded the maximum capacity of ownage energy, which short-circuited the jurors.😭 May next year’s jurors grow themselves a stronger tolerance for kickassness.😭 Nevertheless, Miki and his friends capped this decent Grand Final off in great style, turning what was a fun competent reggaeton into an EXPERIENCE. 

That leaves RUTH as highest ranked Spanish entry:

“SOY YO? SOY YO??” -“RUTH!” -“AAAAAAA!!!!!”

________________________________________________________________

72.  András Kállay-Saunders - “Running” Hungary 2014

SHE CALLS PHARRELL, SHE CALLS PHARRELL, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE.

I will just plunge into this write-up in medias res because “Running” is one of those songs that feels like the “perfect” Eurovision entry on many levels. It’s a great example of a dark, contemporary hit single that would hit the charts on its own. 

It also tackles the issue of child abuse with grace and elegance, addressing the topic head-on, but NEVER trivializing it. This PSA is supported by András who makes for a very convincing narrator and a sublime dance act portrayed where the pain and terror is portrayed with harrowing accuracy.

Which brings me to why I’m booting it now, and not like, in the top 20. “Running” suffers from the fact that it is *too effective*. I think that, on an academic level, "Running” is probably one of the ten best entries in this decade. On a practical level however, “Running” is still an entry that gut-punches me into contemplative silence, but... it’s also very serious, distubring and saddening at the same time. It does not have the same level of replayability or likability that the upper tier Eurovision entries do. Ergo, I have to boot it now. bye. 

________________________________________________________________

71.  Sofia Nizharadze - “Shine” Georgia 2010

“Shine” was one of my intensely random faves back in 2010, so there is a lot of nostalgia resonating in dragging it this high. With that caveat out of the way though, I will say the deal is very similar to that of “Running”. Like, “Running”, “Shine” feels like a ‘perfect’ entry on an academic level. Like “Running”, it is kind of lacking on a connection level despite getting everything right. However, unlike “Running” it has a lot of heart seeping through the performance. Yes, Sopho is a notorious “slrrer vf wrds” 😍 which is just the endearment I needed.

You see, “Shine” may be a generic love ballad, pleasant and little else, but I actually think the act is the real showstopper. I could watch Sopho getting flung around for hours and never get bored. LK THE TDS GNA TRN YO ANOW

NNNNNNNNN BT ITS CLLLLLLD. 

YR LL N YR WN BT YR NVR UH-LNNNNNNNNNNNN!!

SHYNNN SHYNNN LK D STRZ N D SKYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

100% deserving of being the best scoring Georgian act in Eurovision!!! But not this ranking because “Midnight Gold” is not of this fucking planet. Congratulations Nikangel Kocharov!!

Ali & Tommy

Ali: TOM BOMB Ali: you will never guess what Tommy: you're adopted? CALLED IT Tommy: too fabulous for those heathens Ali: way to make my actual news look less 😏 Ali: isn't don't oversell it like rule #1 Ali: [sends cast list so its all official] Tommy: darling, breaking every rule is rule #1 Tommy: you ain't that adopted Tommy: OH MY SWEET LORD! YOU BETTER NOT BE TROLLING ME ALISON Tommy: I know your genius extends to photoshop pro but you mustn't use it for such evil Ali: who would I really be hurting with that troll, huh Ali: no one but myself Ali: but if its good enough for Queen Meryl 😁😁😁 Tommy: Preach it sister Ali: I'm so fucking excited I could burst Tommy: Meanwhile my school is putting Fanny and Alexander Tommy: like that Ingmar Bergman fever dream can or should be adapted for the stage Tommy: Jesus Christ Ali: we LOVE child abuse for a fun family night out Ali: guess the parentals like to be shown their money is being spent SERIOUSLY on SERIOUS theatré Tommy: The guardian voted it 8th best arthouse film OF ALL TIME therefore it must be worthy Tommy: I will not hesitate to put on a wig and replace you, Kit Tommy: before I do, 1 question Tommy: WHY AND HOW THE FUCK IS MEENA'S BROTHER NOT PLAYING THE SWEDISH LOTHARIO?!! Tommy: what is your casting director 🚬? Ali: I dread to think what 9 and 10 were 😏 Ali: must put them on my not-to-watch list Ali: 😂 Ro literally called it, we all know, I will uninvite you if you even THINK of upstaging me 😉 Ali: IKR its so funny Ali: maybe he thought he was being subversive casting a black guy Ali: but then I wouldn't have my role if that was his jam so 🤷 go off Tommy: Yeah HARD same 🙄😴 Tommy: you can try but I've sent a congrats text to Carls and she'll re-invite me Tommy: if he was the baby daddy the whole island would know but alright, like Ali: also true Ali: 😂 SERIOUSLY Ali: like hmm, I wonder where this white blonde blue eyed baby came from Ali: when you get diverse with your casting and the plot falls apart 😏 god bless, they're trying Tommy: that's WHY he cast Drew, he's being very catholic and trying to marry you off to the right man at the end Tommy: Sir you can't be deciding he's the daddy like that, how dare you! Ali: and that's WHY he cast me as Donna Ali: knows our ma won't flip out on the implication her daughter hoe'd around all summer and has no idea who fathered her child Ali: the subtle shade of it all Tommy: 😂 Tommy: I can't wait to see her go full Molly Weasley when she realises the plot of the thing Tommy: my Alison COULD NEVER you wanker! Tommy: would never 'cause you'd be in chains 😏 Ali: that's the other possibility, he hasn't clocked I'm GayLite and he thinks the idea I'm knocked up is right jokes Ali: Ma wishes 🤞🤞🤞 Tommy: Or he's calling out his biphobia and everyone who is as a HUGE whore Tommy: that's awkward Ali: when you don't prove the haters wrong 😬 Ali: whoops Tommy: When's opening night? I gotta see this Ali: duh, I've already begged on your behalf Ali: [the date] Tommy: I'm so ready for my handbags at dawn moment with Robbie Tommy: always a pleasure Tommy: unlike witnessing Drew outdoing Pierce Brosnan as the hottie who can't hold a note and DYING on stage Ali: I'll hold your earrings, babe Ali: if he can wait for the show to be over Ali: and don't be mean 🤫 Ali: he...needs some work Ali: but I'm willing to be like your worst teacher on speed about it, have him west end ready in, however many weeks they're giving us Tommy: Cheers, 'course I was born ready whenever he wants to go though 🥊🩰 Tommy: You know I'm here if you need me, fairy gaybrother and all Tommy: he will go to the (disco) ball! Ali: I'll let him know as much 😏 Ali: 💚 Ali: Luckily the choreo is simple, so he's got that down Ali: and how hard is it to pretend you're in love with me, honestly Ali: the singing though Tommy: how many songs does he have? Are they staying movie true? Ali: WELL, the tea is we've already cut a me him duet flashback to a solo for moi, but he HAS to do SOS to drive the plot, then its minimal lines on Our Last Summer, which Robbie is THRILLED about obvs, but he also HAS to do When All Is Said And Done, though maybe I can convince the director that'd work better as a toast moment legit, sans singing Tommy: Fucking hell Tommy: yeah unless there's somebody he could mime for Tommy: or a girl they could drag up to resemble him for the musical numbers Ali: REALLY go in and make it obvious who the dad is 😂 Ali: comes to something when the only viable option is the out out gay kid Tommy: SOS is gonna be brutal but I reckon you're onto something cutting the last number down Tommy: by then the audience will either be LIVING for you or DYING over him and we all know how the drama dept would rather it Tommy: arts funding is already in the bog, like Ali: Truly... fuck it, if we don't get it then instead of taking turns at a verse each we'll do it together and I will belt the fuck out of it Ali: you don't have to tell me, the wardrobe is abhorrent Ali: but we're already on that, even if I have to dress the entire cast myself Tommy: Christ alive, I will come home early and help you save the show, bags full of stolen props and costumes Tommy: Sorry not sorry, mother Ali: Oh LORDT, what even is the costuming for fucking Ali: fanny and whathisface Ali: I bet you are LIVING Tommy: Everyone here has now said fuck it and we're sorting out watching Mamma Mia Tommy: the girls and gays are 💔😭 Tommy: Straight Simon alone is unaffected Tommy: SEND HELP ALL MY MATES ARE ASKING IF DREW'S TOO WHITE TO TURN SOS INTO A RAP 😂 Ali: that boy is an enigma Ali: do not encourage him PLEASE 😭😭😭 Ali: all for mixing it up but if I have to look 💔 at a boy rapping about what happened to our love...nah Ali: even Meryl couldn't Tommy: Quick, dish on the rest of your all star cast, that'll 100% work in amusing them Tommy: any room to judge and they don't give a fuck about a single thing else Ali: Oh well, let's see Tommy: I'm the proudest of my sweet baby Carls and know she'll be grand, but the people are restless and thirsty for that hot tea Ali: Rosie's a sweetie, she jams with us on the drums every now and then, so you'd recognize her face not her name, she's gonna be so funny, perf for that role so I can't slag on her, I'm afraid darlings Ali: right?! MY BABY 💕 Ali: we did our auditions in groups of about 3 so it was just me, her and Cavante, she killed it forreal Tommy: Yeah? I do remember her! She comments on many o' Meena posts and you can hear the 🍀 Tommy: I'm gonna call her later, Carls that is, not your drummer Ali: I'm DYING for her to give the brummie a go, if that's as hilariously bad as we're all imagining, I'll send that to quench your mates thirst 🍵 Tommy: You're a star on so many levels Ali: 🥰 Ali: Who else DON'T you know? 🤔 Ali: the girls playing Meena's friends, me either Ali: they're her year though Ali: one of them has the good=loud vibe so I wouldn't be surprised if she went to one of your theatre groups as a kid Tommy: The lad in her year too? I dunno him Ali: Yes, which is rude Ali: he's got hot over the summer clearly 'cos like, HELLO? Ali: he's decent though, fair craic Tommy: Every show needs a dark horse Ali: they're cute Ali: some of his friends, esp. the one Carls has to seduce are 😬 Ali: thank God she's talented Tommy: at least some fuckers'll have chemistry Tommy: you'll be full Meryl-ing to convince ANYONE that Drew's the love of your life Tommy: and Carly would never waste a second on a younger lad Ali: at least I get to be fuming at him most the time Ali: lying cheating bastard 😏 Tommy: 👀🔪 Tommy: I'm well jealous Ali: I know, babes, I know Tommy: less gutted now this sing-a-long is kicking off Tommy: you wanna be facetimed in? Ali: um YES Ali: counts as a rehearsal Tommy: [does call her so she can join]

[reyloner]

what Reylo fics r u cudrently reading? any u recommended?

 okay, so I’ve got a much bigger fic-rec list coming soon on some of my all time faves, but here’s a few fics that I’ve recently read that I absolutely adore.  

it takes two to tease | @holyrenperor

The Force connects them when they’re most desperate for each other.

 A lovely little one-shot, canon verse, with some feels and a grade a smut. Seriously, highly recommend anything from murakamism!

Head over feet | @ever-so-reylo

They’re not dating for real. Right?

This wonderful wip makes me all giddy and laugh out loud bc, goddamn, it’s just such an amazing au. bc WHO DOESNT love a fake dating trope with a professor/student on top of it. Like, it just… fulfils me in the best way. 

The Losers Club | @foxesdance

Rey and Ben are friends. Like. Best friends. Totally platonic. What on earth could ever change that?

This is just… so ridiculously hot and perfect in every way. Like, this fic legit made me fall in love with Ben and Rey ALL OVER AGAIN and… just damn. THE FREAKING BUILD UP TO THE SMUT – it was just genius. Many thanks to this amazing author!

Written on the Heart | @midnightbluefox

Rey Kenobi spends her days trying to focus on her classes, working at the on-campus cafe to pay off her crippling student debt, and hopefully beating irritating and entitled Ben Solo in a contest for a scholarship and writing job she’s always dreamed of.

But in her free time, she’s KiraofJakku, an online writer and member of a Discord writing group, struggling to balance her college career and passion for fiction. When she finally works up the nerve to message her favorite author and fellow Discord member, KyloRen, an unlikely friendship blooms.

One chapter in and I’m already so in love with this fic! Like, it’s lowkey an enemies to lovers BUT they already online lovers… mind blown. I’m absolute trash for it!

Boon  | @rebelrebelreylo

Three text messages changed Clyde Logan’s life forever.

Are you being harassed by a federal agent?

Does she have brown hair, horse teeth, and a stick up her ass?

Leave now, Clyde.

Okay, maybe four.The Resistance is on your side.

I’m AN ABSOLUTE WHORE for some reylogan and this is no exception. I was instantly hooked when I read the first chapter and DAMN, i cannot wait to read more. 

Dear Kylo Ren | @j-dryless

After helping a rich man out with his car, Rey receives the opportunity of a lifetime. Rey accepts, even if she’s forced to write letters by hand (who on earth still does that?!) to the enigmatic Kylo Ren.

THIS AU IS SO DAMN GOOD, LIKE. oh my goshhh, Kylo is such an ass BUT a lovable one and I’m legit cheering Rey on to roast him in her letters while also complimenting his handwriting… and Mitaka. SWEET, SWEET MITAKA NEEDS TO BE SAVED real quick. So amazing!!

The Finer Points |  @loveofescapism

Prince Ben Solo has a reputation in the country of Alderaan for being a drunk, a gambler and most importantly; a womanizer. However, when tragedy strikes, he now has to take the throne as King and find himself a wife to rule by his side. Enter Lady Rey, his childhood friend and a woman who won’t stand for any of indiscretions… or I have written a Victoria AU, with a switch up that involves Ben asking a prostitute for sex tips as he is actually a virgin and wants to please his wife to be.

I’m sorry, BUT A VICTORIA AU??? PIANO SEX?? bitch, she tickling my ivories (or is it ovaries with ben solo and dem hands on those keys?). BUT FORREAL, this is just… so damn good. Like, Prince Ben Solo so against marriage until he falls in love with Rey by one damn glance. GOD, i could legit scream about this forever! PLEASE READ AND SCREAM WITH

 Among the Ash-Heaps and Farce | @rakefiree

In the corporate world, everyone is someone else’s bitch. And, in order to climb to the top, you have to find the right master to slave away for. Dopheld Mitaka is Kylo Ren’s bitch and the bitch has chosen right.

Until one day, Rey Niima happens.

THIS FIC IS SO HEARTWARMING AND WELL LEAVE YOU SMILING FOR DAYS AND CACKLE OUT LOUD – it’s such an amazing concept that is executed perfectly, I LOVE IT with all my heart!!

Secret Admirers | @reylocalligraphy

When Rey transfers into Ben’s high school, he is instantly intrigued. Unfortunately, his fat mouth simply cannot shut up in her presence.

This fic is so amazing and heartwarming, and GOD, it totally owns my ass but… what really gets me is the absolute dedication Catey put into making this! How much research she put into the Australian education system, THE CANTEEN LINE THAT WENT ON FOR LITERAL YEARS, pizza fridays that were the reason I was broke in HS… all of it was so perfect and damnn, this fic needs to be read ASAP if you haven’t. Like, if you’re curious on an australian HS au, this is a brilliant read – believe me. 

And, you know… it also features my OTP… Ruby/Jar Jar – reyloner ain’t so lonely anymore! 

Offside | @sciosophia 

“Go on,” Ben tells her, prodding at the wound he seems to be asking her to open. Tell me the honest truth. I want to know what you think of my game. His voice, now, is soft. If it weren’t public information, she’d never have guessed he has a reputation for a temper. “There’s more to say. So say it.”

…or, Ben is the world’s most famous soccer player, Rey is the captain of the England women’s team, and they are unhelpfully attracted to one another.

Read this earlier tonight (or rather morning, bc it’s 5am whoops, time flies with fic) and just… wow. It was so spectacular – truly every word was perfect and amazing and DAMN I loved everything about it. Brought up some cool childhood memories of playing football and, wow, just… the build up to the end was incredible. Just an amazing one-shot that I SERIOUSLY recommend to everyone. 

ALRIGHT. THATS IT. IM DONE. 

but there’s a much bigger list on the way, so… get ready for some good fkn fic.

[youknownothingseansnow-blog]

Season 7, Episode 7

Previously -

Pirate Pacey took Yara and Theon was, well, Theon

Sansa sends Brianne to Kings Landing

Arya being evil to Sansa with the faces

All that North of the Wall Drama!

OK LET’S DO THIS!

Kings Landing

The Unsullied and Grey worm!

OMG this is insane (this is the theme for the night)

Bronn and some boiling oil, nice

Deep thoughts from Bronn on the unsullied

Dothraki time! I really feel like I would cut myself riding a horse while carrying a sickle

Pirate Pacey’s fleet off Kings Landing

All those people in a tiny place - Is Jon talking about Kings Landing or NYC?  

The Hound being sneaky – yep white walker still in the box

Kill the silver haired b*tch first – wowza, stay classy Cersei

I feel like Jamie is starting to see her for what she is more and more but who knows if he will do anything about it

The Dragon Pit - that’s not creepy at all

Everyone sizing each other up, this is SO good

Brianne and the Hound – I appreciate their honesty and love them talking about their little murdering stepchild Arya

SO many conversations and allegiances in this walk – this is like West Wing walk and talk but Westeros style

Dragon Pit equals Westeros Colosseum – side note I learned The sequence was shot at the ancient ruins of a Roman gladiatorial amphitheater outside Seville, Spain. Most of what you’re seeing here is an actual historic site dating back to the fourth century BC — not set dressing or special effects.

Are they hot in all that fur?  Seems like they need the summer pelts in Kings Landing

Hound and his Frankenstein brother meet again but the Hound ain’t afraid

Jamie and Brianne – SO MUCH HAPPENING

Pirate PACEY and Theon

Where is Dany?

OH SH$T SHE IS COMING IN ON THE DRAGON

I didn’t think she was coming – nice trick GoT (yes, I fool easily)

Dany just did her ‘Its Britney b$tch’ walk up in to the pit

OMG Cersei is true evil

Tyrion is trying to get things going and Pirate Pacy being an a$$hole just because he can be

Tyrion is really the best person to do this speech

I think they should let white walker attack Cersei and end this

It is leg day for the Hound bringing up the magic box

It scared Cersei, that I enjoyed

I feel like she is plotting how to use them to fight for her, that’s not good

EAT THE MAESTER!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!   No such luck

Jon – Now sit right there in that chair and let me show you how it’s done

Did he leave out the Valyrian steel option for killing them? If so, that’s interesting

Pirate Pacey is like screw this, I am out!

Seems too easy for her to accept but we will see

OH SNAP!  Jon that was not the right time to announce your love for your new queen.  Cersei did not see that coming and come on Jon!  You are beautiful, but dude learn to read a room!

Jon is realizing his mistake….again

Jamie BE A MAN!!! GRRRRR

Jon you are too good for your own good

She’s definitely gonna murder you

The last time Tyrion was near the mountain was the Oberyn fight right?

Sweet moment with Jamie and Tyrion, if only Jamie was more of a man

YOU CANNOT MURDER TYRION

Tyrion wasn’t so sure how that was going to turn out with Frankenstein the Mountain but I appreciate the guts

A drink has been earned

Yep, she is preggers - I love that Tyrion is so smart

Back at the dragon pit, Jon and Dany do some bonding over old dragon bones

I feel like they are beating us over the head by continuing to bring up the Dany can’t have kids thing – I agree Jon, maybe the crazy witch isn’t a reliable source

Here comes Cersei….

TYRION SAVES THE DAY!!!!!!

Oh yeah, Winterfell, totally forgot about them

Sansa knows he ‘bent the knee’, at least our ravens are still super fast for the finale

Littlefinger stirring up sh$t, but even he doesn’t know the real story

STOP CONFIDING IN HIM

HE IS SO EVIL

He is enjoying this WAY too much

OMG WHY ARE JON AND SANSA SO STUPID and naïve!?  (As I go through and update this from last night, I realize my wrongness but it was my honest reaction at the time 😊 )

Jorah is so jealous of Jon, well, really anyone around Dany

You’re a Greyjoy and you’re a stark – and Jon is a stark and Targaryen he just doesn’t know it

I really don’t need to see Theon get beat up again.  Please let this end differently

OK THAT IS HILARIOUS – Theon finally did something!

Winterfell

Sansa, please don’t be stupid

SHE Went there

OH SH$T

Sansa has receipts!

Littlefinger is actually freaking out

This is amazing

Thank you Sansa, for being so smart – I take back my earlier comment, only Jon needs to learn to be less naïve

I’m a slow learner, its true, but I learn

Oh he is bending the knee but it isn’t going well

I feel like Varys should be there, he would really enjoy this

Is she going to kill him – oh yes she is!

Clean up in the great hall and Sansa is now the HBIC

Kings Landing

OMG Cersei lied – I should have seen this coming

For the love of all the Gods old and new she is truly the most selfish person ever – especially now that Littlefinger is dead

Jamie kill this woman. She will get you killed

No one walks away from me

Speaking of walking away, I knew that was too easy that Pirate Pacey just strolled on out of the pit

That is twice tonight Cersei has almost killed a brother

OH he done gone honey, he’s had enough

#WINTERISHERE #FORREAL

The scene of snow in Kings landing is like the creepiest Christmas movie ever

Winterfell

Oh it is Sam! I honestly forgot about Sam

I remember everything – Bran, why must you be such a creep

I became the 3 eyed raven – Oh – I don’t know what that means

Bran you could use these powers in a more useful way

You saw this in a vision – nope raven.  Yeah that was classic and I laughed

OMG IT IS HAPPENING

R + L = J for reals and legit

Uh oh - Jon and Dany about to make a baby and this is even more awkward with Bran talking over it

Why is Tyrion lurking?

Yeah dude you need to tell him about this, yesterday would have been a better time but please tell him

Finally the Stark sister reunion we wanted!

Bran be trippin

Is anyone we care about still at the wall??  Because I think it might be about to break

Oh Tormund, you CANNOT kill him

OH SH$T THE Knight King is has arrived

Where is the dragon?

OMG that is a lot of walking dead

OH SNAP THERE IS THE DRAGON

Send the raven NOW – or wait, Bran can see this right??

The knight king is the dead dragon rider

He is shooting ice! But like Electric ice

GO TORMUND!!!!!!!!! RUN!!! (I chose to believe he is alive because we didn’t see him die.  He has to make giant babies with Brianne.)

Well the wall is no more and I sort of blame Jon for this, for giving him the dragon

SERIOUSLY more happened in 80 minutes than in all of like season 4 and I am exhausted

Me basically all 80 minutes –

[janiedean]

What do you think of the way that tumblr views ancient greece? Bc the way most ppl here try to whitewash/americanize its history/culture/mythology makes me cringe so f hard. I.e. the way they think it was oh so progressive and chill when the only kind of widely accepted same-sex relationships were pederastic and rape culture was extremely prevalent. Or viewing persephone's abduction as some badass feminist myth. Or trying to make it into some multiracial society which it wasn't at all

anon let’s be real I could write you a novel or I could just say that you’re 100% right and cut it there and since I’m dead on my feet and I can’t conceive writing a novel, I’ll quote you for 90% and add that:

I find it laughable how they seem to think that no other mythology exists so they decide that it’s PROGRESSIVE and ***all the gods are poc*** when they could like, research mythologies from africa or asia or like, legit places where the population is not white

I find it laughable how they seem to decide their society was progressive (which for our standards it wasn’t) but then when they find out it’s not OMG PEDERASTY = PEDOPHILIAAAAAA (which is not technically and while for us it’s an icky concept it was perfectly acceptable to them) and they can’t, like, reason in the concept of GREEK SOCIETY IS NOT MODERN and for the love of god at the next academic lamenting that aristotle wasn’t feminist I’m gonna punch a wall

persephone is actually seen more as OMG YOU’RE ROMANTICIZING RAPE as i’ve seen but tbqh while it’s not a feminist myth it’s technically way more modern in its conception than most others if anything because it implies that men and women need to be equal in the balance of things (ie persephone stays with hades but her mother is a fundamental factor and if she doesn’t fit in the equation summer can’t come etc etc) so while it’s not **feminist** it’s not even rape apology as tumblr likes to think

99% of the greek gods are assholes anyway

just the fact that people can’t seem to actually grasp the basic points of homeric poems should be enough to explain how ppl on here and whoever’s behind most anglosaxon adaptation of any material concerning ancient greece should just either give up or study it forreal

also I lol that most of what ppl think is ancient greece = 90% ATHENS but other cities? what are other cities????

tldr: i think mostly bad things xD

[cachekakusu]

K, so ya girl made the trip to see Anastasia on Broadway because WHY THE FUCK NOT also I needed a much needed vacation lmaooo (RIP MY $$$ but I’m here for a good time, not a long time!!! And worth going to see the show alone!) I also saw it twice because I’m so Extra(TM). But anyway, here be a reallllyy looooooong ass flail-y recap and thoughts for prosperity!!! I’m also combining both nights because I can!!!

So the first night, I sat center orchestra so I can IMMERSE MYSELF IN THE SHOW and the second time, I sat mezzanine right and HONESTLY the theatre is so small that as long as you’re not super to the side, you’ll get an amazing view wherever you are.

ACT I

When the EMPRESS WALKS IN, THAT SHIT SPARKLED LIKE A FUCKING THOUSAND DIAMONDS!?!?!? WOW LINDA CHO WAS ROBBED. The audience also gasped audibly during her entrance

People laughed when they took pictures IDK WHY IT’S SO FUNNY KJDSFS

The Attack (as I’m dubbing it) is so intense and visually stunning, especially the end

Also the “In The Dark of the Night” melody playing!!!! 

I also loved the Romanov Sisters “AAAAAHHHHHHH”  before the run away 

Ok MAX AS GLEB!!! I LOVED HIM he really was more awkward and less poised than Ramin was, at least in front of Anya but just as terrifying and intimidating.  I thought he was also funnier sdjfhdsjkhf. The tone of voices were pretty similar too so it was kind of easier to focus on his portrayal, which was amazing overall. 

Uhhh once Dmitry comes out, you can’t stop looking at him. JAWLINE. And also he gesticulates a lot sjkfskjj.

Christy really forreal literally has a sparkle in her eye whenever she sings and it’s amazing to witness SHE REALLY IS SUCH A SPECIAL PERFORMER 

ISTG, one of these days Derek and John are forreal gonna end up flipping Christy over when they lift her THEY ALMOST DID THE SECOND NIGHT AND I WAS STRESSEDT you legit could see her feet up in the air lmfaaooao

After Anya chases off those hooligans, she points the stick at Dmitry and says, “Come at me, I won’t hurt you.” in this playful almost flirty voice and it gave me......thoughts......

DEREK GETS SO SWEATY AT THE END OF MY PETERSBURG AND IT’S SO FUNNY KFHSKJF also he kind of warbled the last note in both nights but I  find it kind of endearing lmao bless him

There are a number of moments where Dmitry just kind of stares at Anya and then kind of catches himself and shakes himself out of it and it’s adorable like “hahahahaha idiot you’re falling in loooooooooooooove”

Uhhh OUAD is even more amazing because the ghost projections extend to the sides of the theatre so like SENSORY OVERLOAD I cried metaphorically

Watching the ensemble is so fun, when you can look away from Derek/Christy for a few seconds (WHICH IS HARD TO DO) lmfaoo, and in “We’ll go from There”, when it’s Dmitry’s turn to sing and he’s just hanging on the train rails, I was watching the two smoker girls (one played by Lyrica aka Odette/Ballerina), and at first, they have these disgusted looks that slowly turn into “Oh no, he’s hot” and LYRICA ESPECIALLY had that “gosh, he’s actually really cute” AND IT’S HILARIOUS (and I told Lyrica when I met her at stagedoor and she laughed a lot, saying she and Sarah have a lot of fun doing that scene)

OTP: DMITRY x BATHTUBS FOREVER

Stay, I Pray You gets me on a deep personal level because the immigrant connection is real (”You are all I know. You have raised me.” WHEN WILL I NOT CRY!?!?!?) , also I love numbers where everyone just sings classic choral style also the harmonies at the end PHEW

Also CONSTANTINE’S VOCALS

Journey to the Past. No words tbh other than MAGICAL. 

ACT II

PARIS HOLD THE KEY TO YOUR HEART IS SO FUN AND THE ELEVATOR RIDE UP TO THE EIFFEL TOWER IS SO FUCKING FUN!!!

I appreciate Land of Yesterday so much more as a visual performance because Caroline O’Connor is amazing. Her wit and her PHYSICAL STAMINA

MBP is one regal HBIC and Close the Door made me EMO

TCATCM is always such a hoot and John and Caroline are amazing together, the audience really just eats it up

IN A CROWD!!!! OF FUCKING THOUSANDS!!!!

I love arm

Christy’s delivery of “I remember” has gotten much softer it seems, and then they both kind of stare at each other for awhile, as if really realizing who each other is before they CRASH INTO EACH OTHER RIP ME 

both gasp lightly between “I’d find you....” “again”

*cue the disappointed sounds of the audience when Dmitry pulls back. SAME, MY DUDES*

also they both let out really audible gasps before Dmitry pulls back and it’s so !!!!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!?!?!?

When Dmitry kneels down, the background turns into this starry sky AND THE FULL EFFECT OF IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND I WAS AWESTRUCK

I always get so emo when character’s leitmotifs play but ANYWAYS when the Dowager came out, you can tell she just looked so done and tired AND IT BROKE MY HEART (she looked regal af though)

When Dmitry comes RUNNING OUT and just kind of looks around and you know he’s searching for Anya THE silly boy and then Vlad spots him and he’s fixing him up while he acts like a disgruntled son lmflaks

ANYA’S ENTRANCE IN THE ICONIC BLUE DRESS fuck, the sparkles on that dress is so mesmerizing and SHE WAS GLOWING but she only had eyes for Dmitry right when she found him and has this fond look on her face AND SDKJFHSKJ SHE LOVES HIM FLALSMA

(release “When She Walks In”, you cowards!)

I didn’t really cry cuz during both performances (I was TOO HAPPY TO SEE THIS ALL COME TO LIFE BEFORE MY EYES) BUT I did get super emotional when Vlad sang “Meant to Be” becaue HE JUST LOOKED SO HEARTBROKEN FOR BOTH HIS CHILDREN!?!?!?

QUARTET AT THE BALLET is one of my favorites AND I LOSE MY SHIT EVERY TIME!!!! Also LYRICA!!!!! What an amazing dancer and I found it really nice that it was a show within a show and they had their own curtain call for this

Seriously, which of the writers hates Cleveland sdkjfhsdjkfh that joke will never not be funny

DEREK’S CRESCENDO AND DESCRESCENDO IN ETW!! BITCH!!!!

Also, DMITRY BOUGHT ANYA A FUCKING DOLL!?!!? WHY IS HE LIKE THIS!?!?!? Let me stare off into space while I continue to process that information

Uh, when Dmitry checks in on the Dowager and Anya during their reunion, he has a little smile on his face before he angstily walks away (and out of Anya’s life forever!!! Or so he thought, haha that fool)

The Anya/Gleb confrontation is always such a cool and emotional scene, especially when the Romanov ghosts also step back behind 

After Gleb decides to let Anya go, and the Romanovs/Officers leave and you see them carry a body, as if physically and metaphorically burying the past IT’S SO. WOW. HAUNTING AND EVOCATIVE AND I THINK ABOUT IT A LOT

When Anya finds Dmitry and he kind of takes her in for a bit before going all emo on her and Anya kind of has this fond smile before getting all sad once he says, “I can’t be in love with someone I can’t have for the rest of my life” like GOD, YOU’RE A FOOL BUT I LOVE YOU!?!?!?

“*softly* I’m not your prince, Anya.”

*cue my tears*

THE KISS!!! SO MUCH CHEERING And lmao whenever Christy grabs his suitcase to step on it, IT’S SO HILARIOUS because even in her heels she’s almost eye level with Derek (a real testament to how big of a height difference they have) 

After Dmitry pulls away, they both have dazed smiles on and kind of look at each other for a beat longer RIP ME

EVEN AFTER ANYA TAKES HIS ARM AND THEY KEEP SMILING AT EACH OTHER AND IT’S SOOO!!! CUTE!!! I LOVE ROMANCE!!! 

The finale gets me so emo, the Dowager’s “Still...” and her opening the music box AND THE ROMANOV SPIRITS ALL COME OUT AND THEN THEY ALL ROTATE LIKE AN ACTUAL MUSIC BOX!!!! IT’S BEAUTIFUL

Also the bridge in the background changes from being real, to a PAINTING as if to really add to the fairytale effect of DIMYA WALKING TO THEIR FUTURE and then when it goes, “Far away...” IT CHANGES TO A SNOWY SCENE AND I!!! LOSE MY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stage door. K so honestly, I appreciate all of them so much they are all so nice and gracious AND DESERVE ALL THE LOVE AND PRAISE!!!!

Max was so nice (SUPER HANDSOME) and I told him that he was really funny as Max and he laughed skdjskjf

Nicole came out next and she’s adorable, protect her forever!!!!

Lyrica is WOW BEAAUTIFUL TBH and I told her she’s an amazing dancer and she said how she has so much fun doing the ballet (also she has the most legible signature and I respect that lmaoo)

Caroline O’Connor is a delight and is so nice and I told her that I love her jokes and her high kicks skjfhskdjfh and she laughed and she thanked me for buying the program lmfaoo that was cute

Mary Beth also came out and is so elegant and precious and Zach was following after her because he was carrying some box (??? hers??? WHO KNOWS) 

I’m lame and exclaimed, “You’re the music box!!!” when it was Zach’s turn to sign and he was all, “How did you know!?!?!? We have an avid fan over here, guys!” sdkjfhskjfh and I honestly would love to see his Dima cuz he’s really witty and a good egg.

I told John that he was the real winner in my heart and he laughed and said how they really enjoy making the vlogs and I jokingly asked when the next season was and he was very ;)))) about it SO THAT’S EXCITING BECAUSE I WANT MORE ROYAL MISFITS FOREVER!!! I also told him he deserved a full pack of gum sjkfhsjk and he said that he doesnt even like gum sjkdfsh 

Derek is unreal beautiful and lmao the thirst for him by everyone is real but he’s so nice with everyone. I just told him that his vocals in Quartet are particularly amazing sdfjhsjkfh and he laughed adorably (ok, everything he does is adorable lbr). I was kind of a mess trying to take a pic with him but he was really patient while I got my shit together and flkaoska he’s so tall he had to crouch down quite a bit (sorry for my shortness, my dude). Anyway, both pics turned out slightly blurry because???? He just has that effect, I guess!

Christy went last and lmao, I wonder if they purposely plan it that way  now because of how long she takes interacting with each fan. Even the security guard was impressed with how much she loves doing the stage door lmao. She really is as precious as you expect and I pretty much babbled my love for Anastasia and for her AT her because SHE’S EVERYTHING AND IS A LITERAL PRINCESS and emanates so much love and kindness. I asked for a pic and I’m such an awkward ass turtle, trying to decide which way would provide better lighting lmao she offered to do hold the phone instead and I didn’t even realize she was taking so many pics lmao. Then I told her I loved her and thanked her for being THE BEST ANASTASIA  A FAN CAN HOPE FOR and we hugged and she thanked me for coming and told me my hair smelled good sdkjfskf. The second night is when I gave her my gift (lmao, it’s supposed to be a giant easter egg that I painted with some candy in it but the top half came off when she was taking it out, hence why she’s only holding half of it in the picture akhad) and she’s honestly like a little kid with how excited she was about it and even held it out so the other peeps could see lolol. She saw the treats inside and I told her how I know she loves snacking and she kind of went on about the pocki sticks she was eating backstage (which she pronounces, “poke-y” lmaoo so I didn’t know what she was talking about til like, a day later) and how they’re so addicing lmao I love one (1) backstage snacker. And she keeps saying how they have the best fans and I’m like, “UH!!! YOU GUYS DESERVE IT, HONESTLY!!!!” and she does the “Awwww!!!” face (y’all know the one). OH she also tried guessing where I was from but I kind of blurted it out before she could and she was so “SEE, I WAS GONNA SAY ‘CALIFORNIA’! I shouldn’t have even asked!” lmao. I gushed at her again, thanked her and probably told her I loved her again before I finally said goodbye lmao. 

I’m probably missing a lot of stuff, honestly it’s a blur and I’m trying to finish this up before I pass out from a food coma but ANYWAYS! 20/10 would fucking recommend, I love this musical so goddamn much and the cast and literally every one involved they’re all so talented and it will always hold a special place in my goddamn heart!!! *a million crying emojis*

[hp-again]

Rereading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Chapter Fifteen - The Unbreakable Vow

- CHRISTMAS AT HOGWARTS IS HERE YALLL!!!!!!! i can hardly contain myself

Large groups of girls tended to converge underneath the mistletoe bunches every time Harry went past

pardon my language but harry has become quite the pussy slayer, wouldnt you all agree?

Lavender Brown, who seemed to regard any moment that she was not kissing Ron as a moment wasted

me too girl, me too.

“She can’t complain,” he told Harry. “She snogged Krum. So she’s found out someone wants to snog me too. Well, it’s a free country. I haven’t done anything wrong.” Harry did not answer, but pretended to be absorbed in the book they were supposed to have read

oh ron. also SAME harry. always best to plead the fifth in ron&hermione fights

- HAHA hermione is described as giving the half-blood princes’ book a dirty look “as if it was rude to her” and i find that extremely hilarious and very hermione granger

- harry now knows that romilda vane&co is trying to slip him a love potion. let me reiterate: PUSSY SLAYER

But her face suddenly turned blank; she had just spotted Ron and Lavender, who were entwined in the same armchair. “Well, good night, Harry,” said Hermione, though it was only seven o’clock in the evening, and she left for the girl’s dormitory without another word.

UGH can these two just make up already??? i dont like seeing lil hermione upset like this. its really harshing my mellow.

Ron retaliated by doing a cruel but accurate impression of Hermion jumping up and down in her seat every time Professor McGonagall asked a question, which Lavender and Parvati found deeply amusing and which reduced Hermione to the verge of tears again. She raced out of the classroom on the bell, leaving half of her things behind.

this is so fucked guys!!!!! like you would think they were never friends to begin with by the way theyre acting and its really bumming me out. LEAVE HERMIONE ALOOOOONEE

“She said something about that Ron Weasley...” “Yeah, they’ve had a row,” said Harry. “He says very funny things sometimes, doesn’t he?” said Luna, as they set off down the corridor together. “But he can be a bit unkind. I noticed that last year.”

ron is one of my biggest faves in the series but he done GOOF’D in this book so far. like i know puberty is wild yall, but be nice to your friends.

- omg harry asked luna to slughorns party and shes so happy and im gonna cry ITS GONNA BE SO LIT U GUYS

- also PEEVES. missed you boi

- lol harry is watching hermione, lavender, and parvati interact and is legit having a mental breakdown trying to understand why women are the way that they are and like... cant blame him really. were tricky af.

“You’re going, aren’t you?” “Yes, I’m meeting Cormac at eight, and we’re-” There was a noise like a plunger being withdrawn from a blocked sink and Ron surfaced. Hermione acted as though she had not seen or heard anything. “-we’re going up to the party together.”

i am both disgusted and thoroughly impressed by jkr’s writing

- not gonna lie guys this party sounds DOPE. even if slughorn is the one who threw it. 

- OH EM GEEE hermione considered taking muther fuqing zacharias smith to the party???? GIRL. no matter how pissed you are at ron that is just NOT an option!!!!!!!

“Quidditch!” said Hermione angrily. “Is that all boys care about?”

ive asked myself this question too, hermione, and lemme tell you: yes.

- luna keeps making every convo at this party awkward by talking about conspiracy theories and im here for it. and frankly so is harry, shit is hilarious

This was the first time he had seen Malfoy close up for ages; he now saw that Malfoy had dark shadows under his eyes and a distinctly grayish tinge to his skin.

fuuuuuck dude. actually feeling sorry for draco

- ok but how can harry fit his ENTIRE invisibility cloak in his pocket?? its a CLOAK

- god damn forreal the amount of pressure draco is under is really hurting my heart. lemme give you a hug kid

“I know what you’re up to! You want to steal my glory!” There was another pause, then Snape said coldly, “You are speaking like a child. I quite understand that your father’s capture and imprisonment has upset you but-”

HE IS A CHILD. like lets all not forget that. hes a fucking kid whos got these huge responsibilities on his shoulder. and like, if he fucks up, not only will he be killed, but his WHOLE family will be too. god DAMN this is stressing me out. poor malfoys forreal.
