Kate is the one who is handing out the candy while Reader bakes some cookies and other stuff for the Avengers Halloween party that they're going to at night. The two dress up in a couples costume (you can pick whichever one you want) before they head to the avengers compound.

October Special Masterlist

Halloween, a spooky day for all small and tall. Kate, your girlfriend, had spent the night at your small townhouse home and of course she had brought Lucky. Kate turned your house into a nicely decorated house that screamed your name all over it into something that Claire from Modern Family would most definitely approve of. It was your first Halloween together and she had invited you to join her at the Avenger's compound later tonight for a Halloween party that Wanda and Nat had planned out, mostly Wanda of course. 

Kate secretly loved that you lived in a family orientated neighborhood, given that her apartment was on top of a pizzeria, she doesn't get any excited children knocking on her door trick or treating. A large pumpkin shaped plastic bowl sat on the dresser by the front door, overflowing with candy and treat sized chocolate bars for Kate to hand out while you baked some Halloween themed cookies and cupcakes for the party later on. 

"Look at you Lucky!" you smiled widely as he sat at your feet, tail wagging while wearing a horse saddle costume finished with a fake wig, Kate entered the kitchen in a red wig with a single plait hanging off her shoulder topped with a red cowgirl hat. 

"Yodel-ay-hee-hoo!" Kate says with a put-on country accent while swirling a lasso, "You found Woody! Good job Bullseye!" she added. You couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable the cowgirl was, "I bet you've been waiting all month to say that" you replied.

"You bet ya!" Kate placed her lasso on the countertop and gently pulled you in for a kiss. Since Kate went a teeny bit overload with the Halloween decorations, she suggested that you, Lucky and her dress up a little more child friendly when she noticed just how many younger children lived in your neighborhood and who doesn't love Toy Story right?

With Lucky dressed as Bullseye, you as Woody and Kate as Jessie, it was almost criminal not to get as many photos together as possible. Kate didn't only have a great eye when it came to her archery but also when it came to her photography. She set up her digital camera in front of a blue back drop and set the timer for 10 seconds. The three of you posed for a few photos before Kate heard the doorbell ring, her first trick or treater for the day!

"Twick or Tweet!" A small child no older than 4 smiled with his candy bag open wide, he was dressed as Miguel from Disney's Coco. "Happy Halloween little dude!!" Kate smiled as she kindly put 3 pieces of candy into his little bag. "Thank you!" He waved before he turned to walk back towards his parents who waited protectively at the end of the walkway, they smiled at Kate before she closed the door. 

"Looks like you've got the door covered, I'll get a start on the cookies" you gave Kate a little tilt of your cowboy hat before making your way to the kitchen. 

Every few minutes the doorbell would ring through the house and Kate would answer it with Lucky sitting beside her feet. The kids said the iconic line before they noticed that Lucky was also dressed up, he got plenty of pats and Kate even showed them a trick that she had taught him recently. Lucky would carefully pick up 2 pieces of candy from the bowl and place it in the kids candy stash. 

"Bishop! Get your fingers away from the icing mixture!" you scolded as you took the try of freshly baked gooey chocolate chip cookies, placing the on the countertop for cooling before putting a second tray into the oven.

"I didn't even do anything!" Kate lied, licking the tip of her index finger. You turned and shook your head at her, "you can help decorate them when their ready and after, you can eat the left-over icing" you offered before you made a start on making cupcake mixture. 

Kate was just about to distract you by wrapping her arms around you from behind when the doorbell rang again, and she was out of the kitchen faster than you could blink. It wasn't long before she was back, hovering around you waiting for a spare moment to capture your lips in a kiss. 

Once the cupcake mixture was made, you began to pour some into the cupcake cups. Kate grabbed a teaspoon as you did so and scraped some mixture out of the bowl before quickly dabbing some of it on the tip of your nose. She chuckled proudly before leaving the spoon clean of mixture while you shook your head playfully at her and placed the bowl on the countertop, "come here" you looked up at her. You dipped your finger into the mixture and waited for Kate to come closer before you wiped it on her left cheek. 

"Don't waste it!!" Kate joked as she dipped her finger into the mix and wiped a strip of mixture from your forehead, over your nose and to your lips. "Says you!" you raised a brow only to be shushed by Kate kissing you deeply, "well" you smiled against her lips, "I guess if you do that again it'll make up for it" you added. 

Kate didn't hesitate to kiss you once more, the taste of red valet cupcake mixture on her lips reminded you of the slight mess that she had just made on your face. Another ring of the doorbell broke your kiss but seeing the excitement on Kate's face every time the doorbell rang was enough to keep you from giving her a pout.

----

"Baby, we're gonna be late!" you call out as you look at the time on your phone. The cookies and cupcakes were decorated and ready to take over to the compound in Tupperware. Kate and you had changed costumes, Kate called this one Murders Ken & Barbie. "I'm ready!" Kate walked out of your bedroom in a black suit with a pink undershirt paired with some black shoes, her hair tied back with some loose strands rounding her face, fake blood markings on her face and neck added to the murder look.

"Babe, you're drooling" Kate chuckled as you were stunned at how great your girlfriend looked. You wore Barbie's iconic pink and white gingham dress with a couple of steams of fake blood to add to the effect. "I'm sorry, but god damn it!" you replied. Kate pulled you closer to her, "Thank you Barbie, you look rather dashing yourself!" she spoke, softly smiling at you. 

"Do we really have to do to this party?" you asked, your mind racing with other ideas. Kate caught on quickly to your train of thought and lightly bit her bottom lip, "and miss this chance to show you off? I don't think so" she replied before kissing you softly, "besides, you've got all night to get me out of this suit" she added with a wink.

You should write beast wars, can I have some silly predacon headcanons?

I should absolutely write beast wars. Silly Predacon headcanons coming up

-Megatron talks battle strategy with his rubber duck all the time. He considers it his most trusted advisor because it's never said anything stupid and never tried to kill him. Honestly, he's tempted to think of the little dude as his only real friend.

-Speaking of Megatron, the man is a WHORE for a good bath bomb. Lush addiction, 100%. He has a whole hidden stock of bath bombs, bath salts, scented oils, candles, decorative soaps, scented metal polish and flower petals specifically for spoiling himself when he feels like hes completely surrounded by idiots. Which is often. Has he ever tried to eat one of the decorative soaps that look like baked goods? It doesn't count if it's the t rex hand.

-the reason skorponok occasionally reverts into caveman speak for some episodes is the writers couldn't figure out what to do with him he knows talking like that pisses off tarantulas and he thinks his annoyance is funny even though literally nobody else is amused by the bit.

-skorponok actually kind of misses dinobot because he made his job a lot easier. Constantly pitching ideas, suggesting battle strategies, pointing out flaws in plans. He was useful, even if he seemed to hate skorponok. He doesn't really know how to be a good second in command anymore because a crucial part of the dynamic is missing and he just can't adapt.

-waspinator is perfectly capable of speaking in normal grammar and not in the third person but he's been doing it since he joined in with Megatron and at this point he thinks he's in too deep to knock it off. He thinks it makes him sound cuter because it's actually an evolution of internet uwu speak. Memes get weirdly translated from earth to Cybertron and back.

-waspinator is actually really good at baking but he'll get blasted to bits a thousand times over before he lets anyone other than terrorsaur know because none of his other coworkers deserve to try his cupcakes (and also because he doesn't want to get "promoted" to kitchen slave). Dinobot knew, but he didn't snitch. Wasp never found out that Dinobot would occasionally snag a brownie, he always thought he just counted wrong.

-Terrorsaur is not above attempting to seduce a maximal but all his flirting attempts go horribly awry. If they don't outright reject him they just have no idea what he's getting at bc Predacon flirting is usually a lot different than maximal flirting so everyone thinks he's just kind of being a dick like usual. Dinobot knows exactly what is happening and ranges anywhere from amused to disgusted by the cross-faction fling attempts. The flying weasel clearly has no principles.

-Every couple weeks or so wasp and terrorsaur will get together to watch terrible movies over a bottle of highgrade and it always devolves into bitching about megatron. They tried inviting tarantulas a few times but he'd always make things Weird by bringing in slashers with really good special effects and proceeding to gush about how tasty the gore looks.

-Tarantulas knows what just about every living species in the known galaxy tastes like, organic, mechanical and everything in between. If it's made contact with Cybertron, chances are he's he's tried their flesh (or lack thereof). If it's at all possible, he wants to find out enough about the Vok to figure out how to capture, kill and eat one.

-Tarantulas also thinks rampage is a total poser when it comes to cannibalism. He doesn't even look like he's having fun with it. Barely any torturing or teasing beforehand, only dramatic monologues about fear and anguish. Bah! Amateur...

-Blackarachnia has a trash tv addiction. She doesn't know WHY the Darksyde's datatrax has every season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and like 30 TLC produced shows, but she refuses to stop watching them. Tarantulas fucking hates it. She does not care and if he complains she will turn the volume higher.

-Blackarachnia has incredibly mixed feelings on the story Cinderella. On the one hand, it gives her a degree of hope. A girl reduced to a work slave for terrible people that gets to escape and live it up with a guy that lives her? Great conceptually, but she only got to get out of it because she was a good person and nice to everyone. Blackarachnia? Not quite so disgustingly sweet. She's a bad girl through and through. And evidently bad people don't get to escape bad situations. Oh well. She can always try to fake it til she makes it.

-Inferno has always secretly hoped that when the war is over, his Queen Megatron will settle down with him and repopulate the colony together. He has wildly saccharine domestic daydreams of being with his giant beloved lizardy queen and their 3000+ kids. He has accidentally let this slip around Megatron once, who proceeded to pointedly ignore what he just said.

-Terrorsaur and Blackarachnia got Inferno to watch Drag Race but upon hearing the contestants being called queen, he took it a bit too literally and interpreted the show as the sad, underwhelming way human queens settle disputes between their colonies instead of just fighting the proper way. Lame.

-Quickstrike is so so very sad he can't play video games. He wants to play GTA and cause excessive and wanton death and destruction, but his fucked up hands cannot hold the controller. He forsakes Primus for building him the way he did. He keeps trying to get tarantulas to make him a usable controller but he gets brushed off every time.

-Quickstrike has attempted to ride inferno in his beast mode into battle. It did not end well but for about a solid 18 seconds it looked metal as hell.

-Rampage actually really likes depth charge and wants to be friends sooooo bad but he doesn't know how to handle that in a healthy way so he keeps trying to get his attention by playing up the cannibalism thing and hoping they fight again. Honestly he just kind of likes depth charge holding him, even if it's in a chokehold.

-After losing transmutate, Rampage projected a lot of his grief onto waspinator, which lead to a very strange period of time on the ship where rampage would get very cuddly and protective of wasp, who was incredibly terrified of what would happen if he shoved the crab off. Usually accompanied by Rampage being Incredibly Sad.

-every month the preds have a game night. Usually a board game or card game with Megatron's house rules. Said house rules are specifically designed to make a fight break out for his amusement. These game nights typically end with at least three people in the r-chamber and somebody missing at least one limb.

Takeda Kouhei on Kamen Rider, a Primer

I’m not the only person on tumblr who’s a fan of both tokusatsu and BL shows, but there aren’t a ton of us. Which isn’t too surprising. They don’t have a lot in common aside from being genres that originated in and are still produced (in the case of tokusatsu, almost exclusively) in Japan. But, for reasons that are hard to pinpoint for those of us in the U.S., there’s quite a bit of actor overlap between these genres. From what I’ve seen the biggest contributor to the BL casting pool is Kamen Rider.My impetus for writing this post was a post by @waitmyturtles​ that mentioned being interested in seeing other work by Takeda Kouhei after seeing him in Old Fashion Cupcake. And really, who wouldn’t be? His performance was really lovely. Subtle, moving, funny, endearing, everything you would want in that role.

So I thought I’d post about Takeda’s Kamen Rider work in case other fans are curious. I don’t know how likely BL folks are to get into Kamen Rider but at the very least, I thought Takeda appreciators might enjoy a glimpse of him doing something really different from Cupcake.

Takeda has been in two Kamen Rider series, mostly playing two characters. The first, Kamen Rider Kiva, I’ve seen in its entirety and the other, Kamen Rider Build, I’m currently watching with my family.

Kiva is a pretty unique series within the Kamen Rider franchise. The aesthetic is bonkers. The opening credits give you a decent idea of what that’s like–basically, we’re talking about violins, rose petals, and chains everywhere with a nu-metal soundtrack. It came out in 2008 and definitely feels of that time. Opening credits for these shows are usually pretty easy to find but for some reason this one is only on Tiktok. You might have to squint to make it out but it’s still worth a look.

The basic plot of the series is that there are creatures called Fangires that are kinda-sorta similar to vampires except that they suck out your life force instead of your blood, and there are humans who hunt them and protect humanity. The Fangires can look like humans and then transform into their Fangire forms, and the Fangire hunters have the technology to turn into armored superhero-type people as well. Except there’s also this kid who is half Fangire, half human, the protagonist, Kurenai Wataru. He also transforms, in a way that is like a combination of a Fangire transforming and a human using the hunter technology. The show follows his story in 2008 and at the same time, the story of his dad’s experiences 22 years earlier in 1986. His dad, Kurenai Otoya, is Takeda’s character and at a lot of points in the series is almost a co-protagonist.

They did a pretty good job casting a realistic father-and-son pairing, I’d say.

I’m not usually a big fan of this particular type of shag hairdo that was big in Japan in the 2000s but I’d say they’re both pulling it off quite well here. 

According to an interview I read, Takeda was pretty inexperienced when he played Otoya and as a result he started out overacting a bit, but the showrunners really liked how it worked–basically, Otoya is an over-the-top dude anyway. Otoya is an interesting character. He’s this overconfident, sometimes irritating wannabe womanizer who wears some seriously loud blazers (it’s the 80s, after all), but he’s also a highly skilled violinist and violin-maker who ends up making some huge sacrifices for the people he loves. In a lot of ways he’s the polar opposite of Takeda’s character Nozue in Old Fashion Cupcake.

(In case you’re wondering about the gif above, father and son are in the same timeline briefly because of some magical shenanigans here.)

Toward the end of Kiva, Takeda also (briefly) plays Wataru’s son/Otoya’s grandson, Kurenai Masao, who has traveled back in time to help his dad. Apparently in the future we’ll all be wearing a whole lot of bobby pins.

I didn’t realize until after I had started watching Old Fashion Cupcake that Takeda was also in Kamen Rider Build. I’m about a fifth of the way into that series but Takeda’s character has only been around for a short time. I’m really enjoying him, though, and I think the difference Takeda’s skill level between the two shows is really palpable.

The basic premise of Build is that after an expedition to Mars, a mysterious cube (the “Pandora Box”) is brought back to Earth, a weird light comes out of the cube that changes people, and a wall springs out of the ground that divides Japan into three subregions that end up at war. The mechanism for the characters to transform into Kamen Rider forms involves human beings that are subjected to experiments using stuff from Mars that alters them and allows them to use these objects to transform. Sawatari Kazumi, Takeda’s character, owns a large farm before the Mars cube disaster, but environmental effects of the disaster make his land tainted and infertile. He spends all of his remaining money trying to support the workers from his farm that are now out of work, then basically goes into the villain business to try to pay the bills. It’s pretty clear he’s not going to be a villain forever. I’m on episode 20 (of 49–these shows are long) and it seems like he could join the good guys any time now. (Recognize the other two dudes below? I’ll talk more about that in a bit.)

Sawatari is super different from both Otoya and Nozue, so viewing the three together really can’t help but make you appreciate Takeda’s versatility. Sawatari puts up a very tough front most of the time, except when it comes to Misora, who is part of the main character’s core group but also has another identity as an online “idol” (kind of like an influencer, I guess) called Mii-tan. Sawatari is a Mii-tan fan with a huge crush on her. He seems oddly naïve for someone who is basically a mercenary, and she brings that side of him out in a big (and extremely goofy) way.

Sawatari is also the butchest character I’ve seen Takeda play, which is fun in some ways but not in others. On the latter end, his wardrobe on Build is his most boring I’ve seen as he wears slight variations on the same parka-and-mottled-pants combo nonstop. But on the plus side, he gets to do a lot of fighting, trash talking, and sneering and since it’s Takeda it’s all pretty cute. 

My favorite thing about Sawatari so far is his “henshin” sequence so I’ll talk about that for a moment. Transforming characters are a big theme in tokusatsu, and often when we talk about that genre folks are referring more to the suit transformation type shows as opposed to straight kaiju movies like Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah, etc. that are also considered tokusatsu. Having an actor disappear and then someone in a masked suit appear in their place requires some kind of neat transition in order to make it work, and these transition sequences usually have a lot of visual interest and meaning built into them.

Characters usually have something they say when they transform, like a word or catchphrase. In Ultraman shows, they usually yell out their Ultraman name. In the Kamen Rider franchise, the tradition (usually upheld) is for characters to simply say “henshin,” meaning “transform.” They usually have some kind of transformation item (in Kamen Rider it’s usually in the form of a belt) and they have a set of actions or gestures they do just before they change. Then different kinds of effects, often CGI, are used to show the normal human being turning into their masked fighter form. Below is a nice example of a henshin move by someone BL fans might recognize, Naito Shuichiro from Kamen Rider Saber and Senpai, This Can’t Be Love.

Apparently, from some things I’ve watched and read, the actors on these shows seem to come up with their own pre-henshin moves. Takeda apparently put quite a bit of thought into his, according to one interview snippet I read. It makes sense because when he transformed in Kiva (only rarely), his henshin routine was kind of dull (sorry!).

I can just imagine him thinking in the intervening years about how he’d do it a second time if he had the chance.

Well, it paid off because Sawatari’s henshin sequence is right up there with the best I’ve seen in my Kamen Rider viewing. The whole thing has an insolent quality and he tops it off with a beckoning finger that looks like he’s flipping his opponent off (which I take it he sort of is, because supposedly beckoning to someone in the American style is considered extremely rude and demeaning in Japan). Basically, it’s like the “fuck you” version of henshin and it makes him look like a badass. It’s also, frankly, pretty hot.

The gif above is just a snippet so I recommend the longer clip below if you want to see the whole thing.

While I’m at it, here’s his first scene, when all the audience knows is that he’s a mysterious surly cutie.

If anyone reading this decides to try watching one of Takeda’s Kamen Rider series without being familiar with the franchise, I have one thing I’d suggest keeping in mind. This is just my take so others may not agree. I’ll refrain from theorizing about why this is in this post but I’ll just say I have some thoughts.  The first 10-15 episodes of most tokusatsu shows tend to get bogged down in worldbuilding, introductions, team formations, and other things that can get tiresome quickly. But this is only a relatively small portion of an entire series since they tend to go for 50ish episodes, like I mentioned above. My advice is that if you check out one of these shows and aren’t feeling it at first, you should give it a chance to get to that 15 episode mark and then see how it seems to you. You can always skip around if you have to in order to get to the point where things get juicier.

One last note–in addition to Takeda being on Kamen Rider Build, it also features two other actors that BL fans might know. The first is Inukai Atsuhiro from The Man Who Defies the World of BL and Kei x Yaku: Dangerous Buddy (which I’m not really familiar with but I think I remember hearing it was sort of an almost-BL where the Bs never end up in L?). He plays the protagonist Kiryu Sento, whose Rider form is Kamen Rider Build. Kiryu definitely has a certain level of sassiness in common with Mob from TMWDtWoBL, but he has a lot more agency in his life and the stakes are higher than whether or not he’s going to fall in L with a B.

Also, Akaso Eiji from Cherry Magic plays Banjo Ryuga, another main character who eventually becomes a Rider. His character in Build is extremely different from Adachi Kiyoshi—he’s a boxer and an impulsive meathead type, albeit one with a heart of gold and all that. A far cry from his shy cutie persona in Cherry Magic. His character also usually has some sort of tiny French braid situation going on with his hair but I’ve spared y’all from having to look at that for the moment.

If you’re curious about any other actors who are in the middle of the BL/tokusatsu Venn diagram, or just found this interesting, let me know. I might do a few more posts of this type.

[gibbearish]

it is with a heavy heart that i must announce. the five nights at freddy's movie was really good

sorry for how much of a behemoth this post is im fnaf autism just bear with me also i can't keep my thoughts straight for the life of me so this will be a bumpy ride. as an additional note i got very lucky and had literally 0 spoilers whatsoever for this movie, i haven't even seen the trailer

so first of all: i thought all the changes they made to the plot to make it work for a movie were good decisions, altho some of them did take a minute to actually feel like good changes lmao. once i thought about em a bit more though they made sense.

one of the things i really liked was that they also did include a lot of the things i wanted them to, or more specifically things that you're like "you literally can't have a fnaf movie without these, it just wouldn't be right", like we got mike schmidt, we got fucking VANESSA??? altho she might be in the trailer so that might not be the same reveal for yall as it was for me but still. they heavily alluded to vanny? (altho that's a part i'm kinda sad abt is they didn't /actually/ include vanny, vanessa just makes an offhand comment about how she "wouldn't be much help" if she was around afton and then. comes to help anyways and doesnt have any issues? lame they shouldve had him hypnotise her and then she fought her way out to help mike and abby. or alternatively they couldve used the family restructuring to make vanny be a result of afton giving vanessa osdd-2, like thats kinda functionally what he does with the mask anyways but this would make it more obvious).

also swinging back to changes they made that i liked!! VANESSA AFTON?? like this is the one that took me a while to get used to bc it feels like such a cliche from an outside perspective but it also kind of Super Isn't considering what the original plot is? like all the family restructuring they did makes pretty good sense to me, i do think it loses a bit of the weight having michael be Just Some Guy Whose Brother Happened To Be Kidnapped By Afton Forever Ago and now coincidentally has this weird guy offering him a job as a night guard, but also the og lore. absolutely would not fit into a movie lmao. so i like that they kept the characters everyone wanted around while also rearranging it to keep the spirit of "learning about all of this for the first time through the eyes of a security guard" you get from playing the games. it's fun for people who don't know the lore because it's easy to follow and it's fun for people who /do/ know the lore because they can pull apart all the differences.

oh right back to things they included that i wanted them to. we gotttt chica's cupcake murdering people, we got FUCKING MATPAT? SAYING THE ITS JUST A THEORY LINE? SOUNDING THRILLED OFF HIS ASS TO BE THERE??? i dont like the man and his opinions vis a vis addressing nonbinary characters but. goddamn was that a funny cameo. why couldnt you include markiplier too you fucking cowards. who said that. anyways. oh we kind of tangentially have a canon name for crying child? aka garrett? like idk this one could go either way because like. yeah he's mike's younger brother that died tragically and scarred him for life, makes sense that theyd be the same character in function but also it is technically a different family so who knows.

umm what else. oh this doesnt rlly fall into either category i just really liked it, the intro sequence for all the animatronics? showing what they can /really/ do with the breaking and entering dudes?? that was such a cool sequence i really liked the whole thing honestly. chica being introduced in the kitchen and the dude finding the cupcake then looking back and it's gone? bonnie in the supply closet? foxysprint??? AND FREDDY!! THE BITE!!! in case anyones reading this before watching the movie so they know what to expect: youll know when this moment is coming and if youre watching it at home with friends i HIGHLY recommend having the "was that the bite of 87" clip ready to play right after, they WILL lose their shit. i had it queued up from the very beginning of the movie cause i was like. they can't not include it /somehow/, it's the fnaf movie there has to be A Bite. and sure enough. oh also it's not at the same time but the golden freddy reveal is really good too, they did a good job of setting it up so even if youre already aware of golden freddy conceptually you still go "oh freddy's here? i mean i guess that makes sense he's the leader and all. or wait what happened to his eye why's he only got one? oh. oh i see. ohohohohohohohoho" 100/10. also very funny that they just straight up. MURDER THE AUNT? AND SHE NEVER GETS MENTIONED AGAIN SHE JUST IS DEAD??? the kid isnt like. hey what happened to aunt jane?? i get none of them liked her and with good reason but youd think at least one of em would be like "damn she sucked but she didnt deserve that, rip jane"

oh and the springlocks of course the springlocks. like as soon as we saw aftons name in the cast list we all knew he was gonna get springlocked, it's such a cherished memory for so many of us and there's no way in hell The Fnaf Movie™ wouldnt include afton getting springlocked, they just legally can't leave that out. and they do it pretty well too like yeah if you know what's gonna happen you can see it coming way ahead of time and it's kind of a slow crawl to get there but like. idk i think it still works pretty well. i don't personally like how long the actual springlocking itself took, i think they couldve milked that a little bit less cause i was under the impression that if one springlock failed they All Would Instantaneously And Your Flesh Body Will Become Occupied By A Full Endoskeleton. but no we just get very slow rib beartrap. w/e though still cool and again the leadup to it was really good even knowing exactly how it would end, like just the really slow shuffling of the animatronics towards him? like yeah it's slow and kinda tedious but its also like. theres literally nothing you can do, youre surrounded and defenseless and theyre infinitely faster and stronger than you and now they remember that you killed them. and you just have to sit there and watch them slowly slowly get closer all while trying to talk your way out of it knowing youre fucked. 10/10 they did that part well

oh and that also falls under changes i liked, i liked that instead of "afton tries to escape intangible ghosts by getting into old decrepit suit which then fails and kills him" it was "afton was already in the suit to do murders in and has brainwashed the bots to follow him" wait omg point postponed i just realized that part is from security breach. i thought vanessa was the only thing they brought over from that i didnt even notice that they werent doing the theyre-attacking-all-adults-indiscriminately thing goddamn. omg wait and the fact that the restaurants already closed in this one, it really is just a blend of all the games huh. scott do you see how much more coherent your plot couldve been if there wasnt So much going on. anyways. back to what i was saying. instead of "afton tries to escape intangible ghosts by getting into old decrepit suit which then fails and kills him" it was "afton was already in the suit to do murders in and brainwashed the ghosts into thinking he was their friend so they would help him do murders while possessing the robots. then they get their memories back and the robots turn on him and.. i think deliberately? set off the springlocks, or were just aiming to regular kill him and the springlocks failing was a happy accident? then the robots drag him away as they keep slowly one by one collapsing into him", like the first one made a lot of sense for the game and the timeline and the second one just feels right for this too. it's still his hubris that kills him, still his springlocks, it's just in one version the hubris is "trusting his springlock design to still work after however many years" and in the other its "thinking he has conplete control over the ghosts he killed", plus the ghosts finally get a bit more direct participation in his death than in the other version lol.

one change i did not like. forced het romance. like i dunno i guess im happy for them, both of those characters have certainly earned happy endings by this point so its nice they can get something cutesy. but also. like cmon man it's vanessa and mike do we have to do this she just got stabbed stop holding her hand

oh also this change wasnt really good or bad i just thought it was funny, vanessas a full on cop now? like i get they prolly just dont wanna have two security guards or something but i mean. it wouldve been really easy to just say she was the day shift guard? thatd explain why she had more information on the bots and the place's history than him, why she's always Around, it wouldve even flowed into the vanessa afton reveal pretty well too because like. yeah obviously a guy doing murders would want his main security guard to be someone he trusts and who better than his theoretically brainwashed daughter yknow? as it was she just kinda Showed Up Knowing Stuff And Ignoring Questions and later afton's like "you were supposed to be keeping an eye on him" but like of course Mike was getting dodgy about the weirdo cop loitering nearby for no reason, thats sus as hell lmao. vs "experienced security guard here to show you the ropes" he would have a much easier time trusting that she actually did have his best interests at heart. idk it just seemed like a weird change to me lmao

ummm oh my roommate pointed out the fact that when they tried to springlock abby the suit they were aiming for looked suspiciously like circus baby and abby and baby are anagrams so thats fun. it's hard to tell though if shes intended to be a rework of elizabeth or if vanessa's filling that role now. cause like on the one hand, michael's younger sister whose name is v close to baby, on the other hand, vanessa is afton's daughter. so idk i feel like it could go either way. if abby's elizabeth i guess that negates the thing about garret maybe being crying child's name bc then theyd prolly just be keeping mike's name the same. w/e

oh my god i completely forgot when i was talking about changes to the afton springlock thing, they had him deliberately put his mask on after the other springlocks started releasing and say the "i always come back" line, i thought that was an excellent touch. like he's actively dying a horrific death and is like. no no. im not leaving this bot. this shit is going to suck ass no matter what so i might as well do all i can to ENSURE my soul gets locked in this fuckin thing, go on stab me in the brain lets do this. i will however also say that having him say "i always come back"... before he's even come back the first time? is a little bit weird, i know thats another one of the "we have to include this in the fnaf movie" things so im not mad but just in the moment it def flows a bit weird. like mf you don't even have one example of that yet much less several to be saying "always" about

OH AND THE BIGGEST ONE. THE ANIMATRONICS. theyre so good. like im so glad they went all in on that, i think they probably knew that if there was one single thing they had to get absolutely 100% right to avoid a fan uprising it was those and by god did they deliver, theyre so big and so unsettling and so fun. chica's wink at abby was the best part of the movie no questions asked. or alternatively bonnie falling over after they built the fort. like theyre all just so good. OH MY GOD OR IN CHICA'S INTRODUCTION SEQUENCE WHERE YOU CAN SEE HER JUST. SCOOTING BY THROUGH THE VENT?? THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING OF ALL TIME HELLO???

god. but yeah i was honestly expecting it to be a lot worse than it was. also this mike is a bad brother/dad figure. but i guess in the games he also kind of is the pinnacle of bad brother so i mean it couldve been a lot worse. theres definitely some rough parts, i mightve mentioned this already but i felt like a few of the dramatic pause things were a bit too drawn out, like i said the springlocks locking is one good example of that but another that i REALLY found slow was like. in the opening we watch a guy get turbomurdered by the swirly blade mask and it takes. way longer than i feel like was necessary. also unnecessary: a jumpcut a second from scared eyes to swirly blades to hands fumbling and repeating during that. oh another thing that was weird to me, why was mike so insistent on sleeping specifically at night? to the point of deliberately sleeping on the job? like i get he wanted to revisit the kidnapping dream but like. presumably he could dream just as well during the day, no? done his night shift then once it was up rolled out a sleeping bag for a quick powernap before heading home? idk that just felt. forced to me

more random things, i am sad we didnt get a whiff of henry emily (my fringe theory was that their twist to change it from the games was they were gonna make henry be evil, rip to that idea) or the puppet/charlie, and kinda sad they changed the kid possessing golden freddy to be a boy like. we love cassidy and her Undying Rage Towards Afton's Soul smh why would you get rid of her. also loved balloon boy, kinda wish mangle had gotten like a similar level appearance but thats w/e. oh also while i did appreciate the low gore level there were also a few times where it was a bit weird how minor the injuries the dead people had were. like this man just had his face put in a blender mask and he just has like. some forehead gashes or whatever? he should look like someone stirred up jello

anyways with that gross thought i think i am out of things to say about the movie for now. if anyone else watched it already and somehow read all of this blease tell me your thoughts

[aces-and-kings]

🖍️ CRAYON - what advice would you give to them? (All, because this seems like a fun thought exercise. :P)

[Brutal. Bru. tal. But indeed, fun. Let's do it! Under the cut due to length.]

. Thor: He is not the only man you're ever going to love. I know it hurts. I know you feel like you're not worth loving, that every time you try and do the right thing, that things start looking up for you, something goes wrong. You've taken more than any of my other oc and you're tired. Believe me, I get it, but it will get better. You will meet someone again someday and things will work out like they're supposed to. Hang in there buddy. And maaaybe if you want or something idk, cut back on the smoking. Just a suggestion.

. Seven: You can keep running. You can keep fucking up knowing that you're destroying everything good in your life every time it appears. You can keep feeling like a monster if that's what you like. Who am I to stop you, right? But, here's something to consider. You could... do some good with your abilities? Atone for the wrong you've done. I get that you feel beyond saving but you're not. Telling you to just stop doing bad won't help though, so just food for thought. One day someone is going to wake you up and I'd hate to be the skeletons in your closet the day you open that door, but you'll be alright.

. Alex: Welcome to the life of 90% of role-players cupcake. We read the grand adventures, we don't often go on them. Certainly not like in your world. Listen though, your bookshop is really important. You give people a place to rest, a place free of the outside world's chaos and for those, like you, like me, who can't go on some dragon slaying, saving, what have you grand journey, you provide the doorway to such experiences through books. So keep smiling, ay? You never know who's looking and just might find it captivating.

. Nikolai: I don't even know where to start with you buttercup. That's a dangerous game you're playing, putting all your eggs into someone else's basket. I mean I won't judge, because I get it. People can grow attached to pets, friends, partners etc. but if you don't find something of yourself to love and enjoy apart from your obsession with Sindri, a lot of shit out of your control is going to affect you negatively. Also you need to let that guy you're not into go. It's not right to string someone along just cause you'd rather avoid hurting their feelings. In doing that you're still hurting someone, it'll just be Sindri instead.

. Ravka: It's okay to just be yourself. For all the tranquility and self-discipline, for all the kindness and courageousness that makes up who you are, you are awfully ashamed of being Hrothgar. Yes, it does make you vastly different, and you probably feel caught between the world of beast and man. I can imagine how that leaves you feeling alone, and I'm sorry for that. At the end of the day though, you are who you are buddy. And that's going to be enough for the right people, or it isn't and they aren't.

. Grey: Hi, big fan. You amuse me a lot more than I let on to people. Unsolicited advice though? Stop hiding. You're Garlean, so what? A lot of people are. Your family had a history of raining horror down upon other nations, but you never willingly walked that path. You did what you felt you had to. That's called surviving my dude and you're forgiven for it. Perhaps not by all, but by me if no one else. You do not have to flash gil and lavish luxuries on people to be appreciated. And Seven is a horrible option for additional help but good job asking for some! I apologize Thor is being such a... Thor right now. Good luck and p.s. maybe grow the hair back out. I know you're digging this whole Red vibe atm, you want to honor him, I get it. Do you. Just a suggestion.

Thanks @hydaelyns-bitch, this was... cathartic and odd but indeed fun. lol

My top BL-Series Of 2022

Hello my fellow Bl-fans. The girls/ gays and theys obviously won this year, so let’s look back on our blessings 😃

I’m not spoiling anything or I’m trying not to, let’s go 🚶🏻‍♀️

1. KinnPorsche

This doesn‘t come surprising, does it? I remember how I lived week to week back then and the mafia topic was still kind of new and oh so exciting. Enough sexyness, earnestness and humour gave this series a well rounded outcome. There were still holes in the plot here and there but where weren‘t any this year? Let‘s move on. (Waiting for season 2)

2. Semantic Error

My god, these two held me by my throat in the beginning of this year, you couldn‘t help but immediately fall in love with them. It was a successful series and I hope Jaechan and Seoham will do another project in the future, but I don’t think so as of now.

3. Young Royals 2

Another Wilmon gold piece produced, which plot went smooth and showed progress over the episodes. It’s still very short for such an amazing piece and I miss Wilmon almost all of the time, but I‘ll gladly wait for season 3.

4. The Eclipse

The portraying of strong queers went WILD with this one. How Akk got weak in the knees because of Ayan had me gushing over them every week. The plot is lacking a little tho since some points weren’t finished/ worked on properly and Thua..no, just no. Neo looked so dann handsome in his role though and did such a good job with Louis!

5. Between Us

It‘s not finished yet and the plot seems to move too slow atm, but boy, Win is the consent king of this year and is doing the work for every bl character this year that couldn’t do the bare minimum. *COUGH*LITA*COUGH*

We also got a P‘Deeaan~ and the UWMA throwback is nice and so well done from this perspective.

6. Cutie Pie

Nunew and Zee feeding the sub bottom/ dom top fetish/ height difference fetish well 😂 I didn’t like the bff side couple that much and sometimes the corny plot was too much, but the acting was well done.

7. My School President

I can’t believe either that this is in my list already BUT IT IS MAKING ME FEEL THINGS THAT COME CLOSE TO THE THINGS I FELT WHILE WATCHING BAD BUDDY. It is super cute now, not like you think at the beginning and I can’t wait for a new episode. The fandom posts here on Tumblr are also 😘👌🏻

8. Never Let Me Go

This one is also here already. Can’t say much except for the acting that has improved for both Pond and especially Phuwin, my little guy grew up.

9. Blueming

One of the best k-bls this year, hands down. Story, aesthetics, just everything.

10. 180 Degrees Longitude Passes Through Us

"You ask me what I‘m thinking about, I tell you that I’m thinking about whatever you’re thinking about“ it’s DADDY ISSUES, everyone! We all needed a series like this. It was slow-paced and kind of clickbait, but the aesthetic shots made up for that. Nothing made up for the one of a hell annoying mother tho. I also didn’t know any of the actors before even though they seem quite famous.

Very honorable mentions:

Plus And Minus (best Taiwanese bl, still not over the cameo)

Star In My Mind (the Joong-flavour)

My Only 12% (good worked out plot, good acting, angsty season)

Enchanté (the end omg 🤦🏻‍♀️, Force is one handsome dude)

Old Fashion Cupcake & Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice (best of Japan this year)

My Secret Love (preferred the second couple)

Cherry Magic The Movie (😍 I missed them and WEDDIIIIING)

Big Dragon (…they could improve the plot for season 2)

Love Mechanics (the kinda non-con at the end turned me off and it wasn’t my favourite story to begin with)

Eternal Yesterday (I should‘ve watched the trailer, I didn’t expect THAT 😂 but it was still good)

To My Star 2 (at first I thought we didn’t need the angst, but we kind of did)

Vice Versa (good story, mediocre acting, not my favorite couple except for the lesbians 😏)

Cupid’s Last Wish (…we didn’t need that, but EarthMix we did)

Kissable lips (I’m happy that the actors still work together, but it was mediocre)

About Youth (can’t remember anything, but it was good 😶)

My Tooth Your Love (cute and the couples slayed)

Magic Of Zero (🥹 EarthMix and MilkLove)

Secret Crush On You (super corny and mediocre acting, but the topics they handled and how they handled them!! Rare occasion)

The Tuxedo (pretty actors and an okay plot)

The Miracle Of Teddy Bear (not my cup of tea, but I’m happy it was kinda famous in Thailand)

Not so honorable mentions:

Minato’s Laundromat (did turn me off and also non-con)

A Man Who Defies The World Of BL 2 (it was probably decent, but I can’t remember one second of it 😫, I’m getting old)

Ocean Likes Me (cute and HOLLAND💓💓💓💓💗 but we didn’t need that)

Cherry Blossoms After Winter (the non-con destroyed it)

Our Days (I don’t know what the person ate that made the plot go this way)

Check Out (we all know why this is here, I can watch porn instead, thanks)

Close Friend 2 (oh we didn’t need that as well)

Love In The Air (kinda non-con and Mame can’t live without rape in a plot, sorry not sorry)

Oh!My Sunshine Night ( I started this series and stopped after two episodes since it was boring, sorry OhmFluke)

War Of Y (started off good, but went downhill pretty fast. Been skipping the last few weeks through the episodes)

Love Victor 3 (not sure where to put this honestly. I loved 1&2, but this was a back and forth, which is normal for teenagers, but I think this wasn’t it for me)

Mr. Cinderella (finally a Vietnamese bl, but not my cup of tea)

Heartstopper (kinda overhyped, plot didn’t get me, boring 😶)

Note at the end: Look how far we’ve come! It’s sad bl’s with lots of sex scenes get the most attention, I recommend everyone to just watch porn if you’re thinking a series/ movie is bad/ not enough because there is not enough bed sports displayed. If you’re an adult, you must know there are relationships that aren’t only in for the sex. (Since I’ve seen enough people saying you’re not a couple when you’re not having sex, BULLSHIT YOU F***ING CHILDREN)

Thanks for coming to my rant. Let’s hope for a better 2023!

kepler didn't do one good thing at the end that turned out to be useless, he was actively undermining cutter from the moment he got the briefing along with the new hand in episode 56, and caught eiffel un-mind-controlled. he just turned around and closed the door, and even gave eiffel a reminder of where he's supposed to be after he helps Jacobi, which was a crucially important thing to have done that allowed the hephaestus crew to actually succeed

and in a lot of ways, kepler had the exact same arc as hilbert and lovelace, joining the heph crew the moment a bigger and newer threat arrived. he told the crew to stand down, surrender and bide their time against cutter-- he could easily have just let them try to take cutter head-on and get immediately wiped, but he'd gained a level of respect for minkowski & co, and also knows cutter well enough to know that he and jacobi would probably get caught in the crossfire themselves if anything went down

end of 57, he's delaying cutter by saying the crew probably went into the vents and it'll take days or weeks to find them, when he's dealt with them hiding out in the vents before and definitely didn't take days or weeks about it. cutter immediately put pryce on the job instead.

that in mind, i think a major component of Kepler's character is that he's all about contingency and redundancies. he's the guy who intimately understands why and how security protocols are written in blood, he's the guy who got through to lovelace telling her 'live to fight another day', and who understands why competent damage control always seems like an overreaction (think about how y2k ended up NOT crashing vital systems all over the world).

i personally like to think of rerouting power from the pulse beacon as a cosmic safety net, a move that simultaneously routed power to hera (who was fighting pryce and probably could use that juice!) and also prevented 'release of decima on earth' as an additional problem they would have had to deal with otherwise. chekhov's gun, and all that.

it's like when you think 'oh, surely five cupcakes will be enough for five people even though i would normally make seven just in case! i always have extras!' and then someone knocks 2 cupcakes onto the floor the one time you don't have backup. if you're prepared for the worst-case scenario, the scenario becomes less likely to happen and also in case it does, the damage is mitigated.

as a character, kepler's shown to be the guy who has contingencies on contingencies, and he works quietly and efficiently to enable others to do their work to their best potential, even if they don't realize he's doing it. that's what he was doing all throughout the last 5-6 episodes for the hephaestus crew, even if he still has to continue acting in the role of someone under cutter's command-- because that's where he has to be to make the most meaningful difference

anyway that's why it's weird that he went out against rachel young the way he did, dude just straight up forgot everything he knows to be smug at her in her face, knowing full well what she's capable of. imo there were less clumsy and more in-character ways to take him out in the finale, but then again, nothing else would've really gotten him... and writing him into the ending would've made it complicated and we didn't have time to unpack alla THAT

[audhd-nightwing]

my thoughts on the fnaf movie as i rewatch it

bro the security guard we see at the start of the fnaf movie is SUCH a fucking loser. like dude you are being SO loud ofc you're gonna get caught. idiot.

real talk- why didn't they have william's fake name be dave (like in the novels)? who tf is steve??

what tf did mike even do to get fired from so many jobs so quickly? i mean like there's definitely some ableism in there cuz mans is Clearly neurodivergent...

matthew lillard is such a good actor, like the expressions he has and how he talks esp when he sees mike's last name? so good, so realistic. mwah. the trailing off, looking up at him, squinting, leaning forward, the awkward non sequitur

josh hutcherson too honestly, they're both so good

mike is such a good brother like actually. he handles it all so well and never yells at abby

poor mike blames himself for smth that happens in like the thirty seconds he isn't looking at garrett bc he went to pick up someones frisbee. and he immediately noticed something was wrong and spotted him like right away. its not even close to being ur fault babe

bro aunt jane really acts as if its weird for abby... to be a kid. like drawing a lot and having imaginary friends is just smth kids do. ur the weird one.

the therapist and mike exchanging looks like "can u believe this bitch?" is so funny to me. also poor doug is Not There someone help this man. is he okay??? jane is like "my Lawyer will take you to court" and mike looks at doug like "this guy? rlly?"

tbh max didn't deserve that :( she was a good person but obviously needed the money yk? but she was good to abby and did geniunely help mike by babysitting her. and like she very clearly doesn't want to hurt abby and mike but doesn't seem to have a choice

i hope after aunt jane dies doug tells everyone that she literally paid ppl to get mike fired and probably a bunch of other illegal shit

vanessa: you've been acting suspicious since the moment i arrived mike: *stressed, sleep deprived, and wary of her bc shes a fuckin cop* oh sorry

vanessa: *literally sees mike lock the doors which are obviously unopened meaning the robbers got in another way and it's not even his fault anyway bc it happened during the day and he only works nights* *still blames mike*

bro if i saw that cupcake open its fucking eyes i would slam the door shut immediately, that guys death is on himself tbh

still upset they cut the line where max asks the freddy kid if he's okay and is like worried about a child being there.

mike: you wouldn't understand (UR RIGHT KING TELL THAT COP)

josh hutcherson is so so so pretty ojh mu dhod

god, mike, you can't just ask if they're dead (ref)

how tf do the kids know exactly what happened to garrett when its implied garrett was the first victim????

mike: *literally tells abby the animatronics might be dangerous just due to the fact that they are. giant metal contraptions. and wants to tell her some 'ground rules'* / vanessa: *completely ignores him talking about abbys fucking safety* / also vanessa: *gets mad abt abby getting hurt and blames mike, even though he literally tried to keep her safe and asked vanessa for help since she Knows stuff (like not to touch bonnie's guitar) and she ignored him*

lol vanessa definitely acts like an afton. i imagine michael would be pretty similar to her personality-wise

do u think mike has a moment of "is that my fucking career counselor?" when he first sees william's face lol

abby: "can we visit them sometime?" girly... the building is structurally unstable. parts of the ceiling literally fell down. ily but no.

[thequietdoll]

Dude did you see the new FNAF trailer?

Hell yeah, dude, like three times now (the first two at normal speed and the last one at the slowest speed to see if I missed something which I probably still did) what threw me off was seeing the hospital scene for the first time cause I thought it was going to be CC but no it's Vanessa (RIP girl idk if I'll miss her) but in order of my thoughts of the trailer and this is heavily edited as of 02/07/23 and I'll still try to make sense of some of my thoughts and theories in this edit

Mike is getting fired from his last job (assuming it's from the water fountain scene) and trying to support Abby by working at Freddy's by talking to good old William, who's going by Steve Raglan (which is a lot better than Dave Miller)

For the close sign, why is the o red and the d so far the from rest?

Mike's dipshit ass brings Abby along to his job, telling her to sleep while he works bitch the reverse happened and now she is a target but the fact she brought a stuffed bear as a comfort item (that probably use to belong to CC) and the fact Mike brought her along cause he couldn't afford a babysitter

The countless kids' drawings both with Mike and Abby in their respective scenes (I couldn't tell if anything changed in the scenes it probably did)

The vent probably has a dead body in there I was more focused on the rats

The Employee of the Month wall (I'm sure filled with cameos for people who are well known with FNAF like I'm sure Mattpat and Dawko are on there along with Markiplier if he doesn't make a physical appearance due to working on Iron Lung) and the poster that you can honk Freddy's nose

LOG BOOK MIKE BABY!!!

Vanessa, knowing about the dead kids and the animatronics like girl what?

Mike having medicine while on the job that I'm assuming for either pain or PTSD considering it's in an RTS bottle (the orange bottles that are prescribed to the patient)

The fucking song that Freddy plays and someone (maybe Freddy maybe William hell maybe Mike!?) humming it as well!?

The fact that it only shows Bonnie frying only from his guitar when Mike flips the switch??

Foxy and the rest look so soft they did a great job with the suits/puppets and a body being dragged away?

Abby is lured out and being targeted by either Bonnie or Freddy

Hank, Mike, Mike's mom, and someone else going into Freddy's during the day???

Hank fucking dying by Bonnie in the suply closet is kinda funny cause at least the stuff needed to clean is right there

The transition scene from the dead kid with the hook to a close-up of Foxy's hook is so good but it was obvious in the first trailer of who was who

The cupcake was probably the lure since it's it is own animatronic

A hand coming out of either Golden Freddy or Normal Freddy and grabbing Abby (I'm assuming Golden cause he/they are shown to help Abby later in the trailer)

SPRINGTRAP BABY!!!!!!!!!

and he has a knife and not a stupid ass pizza cutter his suit also looks soft and not matted and gross/covered in blood

CC is shown in the backseat looking at Mike being driven away from Mike's mom (if she's the reason for the bite for 83 this time I'm going to lose it cause I have high hopes of her being a somewhat decent mother/parent unlike William)

The cupcake is shown to be missing in the next shot with Bonnie and Chica so it may very well be a lure for Abby

Mike being in the hospital with Vanssea is what really threw me off cause again it's only shown for a second and I thought it was CC at first but it would be cool to see a glimpse of CC and younger Mike in this scene even if it might be flashing but that's a theory maybe

WATER FOUNTAIN SCENE FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike crawls through the vents hopefully there are no rats in there also him nearly dying?

Mike is also about to get scooped in a suit maybe?

Coryxkenshin being the taxi driver for Golden Freddy and Abby is cute

My remaining thoughts so far till the movie actually comes out:

I had beef with the red eyes till I re-read the books and figured out why they're red a lot of the lore so far seems to be mainly on the books as well

We do get a younger Mike actor with CC so maybe Mike will still cause the bite of 83 and based on that kid who leaked the trailer we saw someone in the hospital bed that might have been CC but they changed it to Vanssea for obvious reasons?

I'm curious if we'll get the spring-lock scene and how will it play out

Mike is trying his best not only for Abby but himself and he blames himself for what happened to CC if he did cause the bite

I want to see Golden Freddy and Mike met to see what they have to say to each other if it is CC in the suit and if it is CC Abby probably yelled for Mike during the grabbed scene and that's why she's alive for now

[panlyv]

Hi! I'm new to watching bl, I'm just starting now with eclipse, do you maybe have any rec? Like shows that you really like with good acting and a good plot? (I love misteries/sci-fi/thrillers but I'm open to more lighhearted genres too) I'm asking because recs I found online are too generic and I wanted to see the persective of someone who actually watches shows! 🌼

hi there anon! welcome to the hell that is blblr! hope u can enjoy ur time here and steer clear of dumb discourse most of the time, and the eclipse is honestly a great first show!!!! i personally loved the eclipse from when it was announced in 2021 bc i love khaotung since forever and i was sooo ready for his main character redemption era (u don't wanna know why he needs one tbh), and the plot seemed amazing—and it was! i really hope u can enjoy it as much as i did and go through the rollercoaster of emotions akkayan will take u on, i love them a whole lot<33

as for show recs, ive been out of the loop on everything bl this year bc im a uni student and i work two jobs, i don't really have the time and energy anymore so i might not be able to talk about more recent shows, but there's still a handful of good bls i can rec u!

one of my personal faves is theory of love because 1. i adore gun to the moon and back, he's a phenomenal actor and he did an amazing job in this series; 2. the story is great! friends to lovers with a lot of angst is just MWAH; 3. THE SOUNDTRACKKKK!!!! fake protagonist THE bl ost of all time!; 4. i loooove all the movie references in the show. all that said though, tol does have its fair share of issues (like poorly written female characters) but overall it still is a good show imo!

i dont think the bl sphere has many shows in the genres u mentioned but we have a couple of supernatural plots like he’s coming to me (dude meets this ghost and falls in love with him and the show is super cute and sad at times but if u think too much about it its creepy lmao), until we meet again (hhhh maybe not supernatural but the whole concept is soulmates and red threads of fate and it’s VERY angsty), the untamed (i personally never finished it helppp but its a very good show and it has a lot of ~magic~), the movie the blue hour which is IMMACULATE, its so good, its horror/thriller, it has gun and oab and its GAY ugh its really really good i love it so much AND ITS DIRECTED BY A TRANS WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

other shows that i really enjoy but that are romcoms more than anything (with angst bc i looooove angst): gaya sa pelikula (filipino, probably the best bl of 2020, absolutely incredible), old fashion cupcake (jpn bl about two dudes who work together and deal with growing old, its v v good! established adults!), cherry magic (jpn bl, SO cute and wholesome, dude turns 30 but because he’s still a virgin he gains the power of reading people’s mind. doesnt make much sense but its def worth ur time!), 2gether/still2gether (a classic, a staple, the show that popularized thai bls worldwide. looking back its an ok show, nothing much, but it is very cute if u wanna turn ur brain off), we best love (taiwanese, ONLY SEASON ONE, i love this show so so so much it gave me such a huge brainrot)

now more heavy/sad shows: i told sunset about you (THE artsy bl we all needed, bkpp KINGS, storytelling 11/10, amazing), history3 trapped (one of my personal faves, again established adults god bless, dramatic and dynamic, main couple’s chemistry thru the roof, fifi!!!!), a tale of thousand stars (very angsty but also very beautiful)

the next two aren’t bls but i have to talk about them because they are great and i love themmmm. 3 will be free, deals with class disparity, has strong female leads, trans characters, bi characters, gay characters, polyamory, beautiful cinematography, def should watch! and the gifted/the gifted graduation. not gay bc it barely has any romantic storylines but very interesting concept, v v thriller-y and good acting!!! s2 disappointed but s1 is mwah and my url is from the gifted bc im a clown and pang and wave ARE gay and ARE in love and ARE dating thank u!

ive also heard about ghost host ghost house but haven’t had the time to watch it yet, seems very cute and i think it has some supernatural elements? cant confirm but ill try to watch it next week during my break so maybe ill update u on it later!

I just had a weird Fnaf dream last night

I don’t remember much of it, obviously, but I find it so intriguing because I feel like I’ve had this dream before, so I might as well share it since I can’t get it off my mind.

(Note: this is just what I remember combined with some story to make the dream coherent, this isn’t what happened word for word)

———————————————————————

The dream is from the perspective of an unnamed orange-haired dude (likely a teen) returning to his favorite pizzeria from his childhood. The funny thing is that this pizzeria ALSO happens to be his childhood home…sort of, we’ll get to that later. The entire pizzeria was all on one single level, which makes the idea of the establishment being orange-haired dude’s literal home at one point a little more odd. Also with the fact that it looked more like a house on the interior (wood ceilings and floors, brown rims around doors/entrances, and cream-white walls) you basically have no other option of what to call this place other than his childhood home that was also a pizzeria. (Good job on adding small details, subconscious 👍)

So Orange-haired Dude’s at the pizzeria, which is obviously shut down for “soMe UnKoWn reAsOn OoooOOOoo”. Well it turns out the place was shut down for a good reason : The animatronics were ALIVE and BLOODTHIRSTY!!! (Omg what a twist.) Sad part is I have no clue what the animatronics looked like or which ones were even there besides Chica and my dream’s version of the Marionette (the main reason I’m making this post, we’ll get to that later as well!)

Besides Chica being VERY tall and made of soft material on the outside (some type of soft yellow cloth for skin and orange for the beak/legs, darker yellow feathers from the shoulders to base of her neck and around her head (think Big Bird from Sesame Street)) everything about her’s the same, holding a cupcake and all. Even her “mechanic” when you encounter her’s mildly similar too : flash a light at her in a dark doorway until she disappears.

Ok now onto the main reason I’m writing this and sharing it…The Puppet/Marionette. At least, a character completely separate from them but takes heavy inspiration visually-wise. For some reason I have the itch to give them a different name in order to separate them from the Puppet so for the time being they’ll go by ‘Gone’. Fun fact : It’s based on an actual poem I made titled Gone, which is about not being able to truly relive old memories and I’m amazed at how well it fits this dream’s theme.

Since Gone is the last thing I remember of, they’re basically the “final boss” of the story. After Orange-haired Dude gets past the other animatronics and winds up in the old nursery, he’s reminded of his childhood and begins taking a trip through memory lane. He remembers playing with the other kids who visited the pizzeria, eating leftover pizza for dinner almost every night with his family, helping his uncle (a friend of the family who owns the place and allowed them to live there because they were poor) repair the animatronics, and most importantly, playing with his puppet doll all day. The doll was given to him by his uncle, which everyone except Orange-haired Dude found creepy as hell, but he seemed to love it, so what’s the harm?

The harm is that Gone turns out to be the doll who is now a 7-foot cryptic reincarnation of Orange-Haired Dude’s bad memories and worst fears, including his fear of the dark, which coincidentally is one of MY fears that I have…so yeah you can imagine how scared I was during this part.

Orange-Haired Dude looks at himself in a mirror only to find a pair of elongated black claws reaching for him from behind. He quickly turns around only to find himself in a now empty dark nursery with no way out but to defeat Gone. Gone hid in the shadows and would slowly appear when they were ready to kill Orange-Haired dude. The dude then either had to flash his flashlight at them to make them go away, or hit them with a ridable toy train to momentarily stop them. It’s near the end of the battle when it’s revealed how Orange-Haired Dude’s life wasn’t all that perfect; It turns out his uncle was an asshole who treated his family terribly and mentally abused them for the sake of keeping his business successful. Also I think he murdered his dad and framed it on his mom lmao.

At last the guy is able to break free from the nursery and from Gone’s control and escapes, and that’s about all I remember before waking up.

———————————————————————————————————

This dream was a lot creepier than I explained it on paper, I promise you. I ended up enjoying the concept of this story/characters and may possibly do something with it one day! I also might post drawings of the characters mentioned here another time but that all depends. I’m pretty tired of writing for now so yeah, peace ✌️

au masterlist | main masterlist | also on ao3 | tagged as au: let’s play

Natasha Romanoff was the type of person people didn’t know whether they wanted to be or be with.

Well, most people people at least. You, on the other, very much knew which one you’d rather be. Ever since she helped pick up your cupcake notebook after you dropped it in the hallway at school, you were smitten. You would daydream about her forest green, her long red locks, her raspy voice that mumbled a, “here you go,” as she handed you your notebook. Really, it was a schoolgirl crush, and you weren’t above admitting that.

Regardless, she was completely unattainable. She’d never dated anyone for longer than 3 months and even then, there was a lineup of people who wanted a chance to date the Natasha Romanoff. She was just out of reach.

There was also the fact that she was 3 years older than you and there was no way she would go for a freshman. So, you just admired her from afar. Your friends would tease you about it endlessly.

“Dude, just talk to her. She won’t bite,” Darcy urged.

“And say what?”

“That you liked the show? That you think she’s a good dancer? Just sat anything.”

You moved to the side to let some people pass by to exit the school. You had convinced Darcy to go to the annual dance show the school’s dance troupe held, obviously because Natasha was performing. On top of 2 group numbers, Natasha also had a solo and she had you mesmerized. She moved so gracefully across the stage, yet all her movements held so much power. You couldn’t comprehend how she had that much control over her body. It was as if her body was a puppet and she was controlling each part from the outside.

You didn’t know how to tell her that though. You tried, but the moment you were in front of her, your heart started beating so fast, you thought it would leap out of chest. The only thing you managed to tell her was, “Good job.” Then, you ran away. Literally. You dragged Darcy away from the area and rushed back to your place.

Safe to say, you never spoke to Natasha again. Not that it was a hard thing to do. She was graduating in less than a month and you were moving to Ohio at the end of the school year. Your mother had gotten a new job and your whole family was going to uproot your lives. You were sad, mostly because you wouldn’t get to see your friends anymore, especially your childhood friend, Darcy, but you promised you’d keep in touch.

For the most part, you did.

There were phone calls and eventually video calls too, but you naturally fell out with some of your friends. Amazingly, your friendship with Darcy didn’t change much. when you moved back to New York for college, it was as if nothing changed. You started sharing a dorm together.

“This is either going to end with us plotting the other’s death or with going to each other’s weddings,” Darcy said with a chuckle as you helped her bring the last of her boxes into your dorm room.

Thankfully, it didn’t seem like you were going to end hating each other.

It was the morning of the last day of syllabus week and you woke up earlier to grab some pastries and coffee for both you and Darcy. “God,” Darcy moaned as she took a bite of her danish.

“That good?” you asked, amused by the sight of your friend barely awake as she chewed on her pastry.

“Not as good as the ones you used to make, but close enough. What class do you have today?”

“Just my Soviet history elective.”

You weren’t really interested in that course and you certainly weren’t fond of the fact that it was an 8AM course, but it fit your schedule and you heard the professor was an easer grader. Needless to say, you weren’t exactly looking forward to that class. All that changed once you stepped took your seat inside the lecture hall.

After chatting a bit with Darcy, you hadn’t realized that you were running a little late. So, you jogged your way across campus to get there on time. You tried to control your breathing, not wanting to appear as if you’d just ran a marathon even though your burning lungs definitely made you feel like you had. (Maybe you needed to work out to get back in shape.) You didn’t even notice the TA talking with the professor. It was only when you took out your laptop and got ready to type your notes that you allowed your eyes to roam around the room. That was when your eyes found her.

Flaming red hair, enchanting green eyes, plump pink lips.

Of course, Natasha Romanoff had to be your TA.

She introduced herself to the class and at first glance, she didn’t seem all that different. She still had the same air of confidence she had in high school, not to be mistaken with arrogance. Her cool exterior was still as intimidating as ever, but it also made you want her to like you.

Though, this Natasha was definitely not the same as the one you used to know (well, know of). She was more mature and put together. Not that she didn’t seem like she didn’t have her shit together; if there was someone who had their shit together in high school, it was Natasha. But she was also a bit more carefree back then. You couldn’t imagine the woman talking in front of you would dye her hair bright blue on a whim the same way she did back for about 2 months in high school.

“I won’t be sitting in on most lectures, but I’ll be the one holding tutorials every week. So, I look forward to getting to know you all a bit better throughout the semester,” she said as she gave the crowd a small smile until her eyes reached you. She faltered and for a moment, your heart skipped a beat at the thought that she somehow remembered you. But what was there to remember anyways? Two clumsy encounters? Yeah, you’d rather her forget that.

The rest of the lecture went by and nothing interesting happened except Natasha who occasionally caught your eye. A part of you, the wishfully thinking one, thought maybe she thought you were cute. Then, the other part of you, the self-conscious one, thought maybe you had a croissant crumb on your face from this morning and missed it.

When you went back to your dorm, you gladly found with a crumb-less face staring back at you in the mirror. You also found a curious Darcy observing you from her bed, laptop resting on her lap.

“You won’t believe who my TA is,” you told her as soon as you confirmed there was nothing on your face.

You told her about Natasha, how she kept looking at you, but you tried to brush it off as nothing special. It couldn’t be anything special. There was no reason for it to be because she was your TA and nothing else.

And yet, when it was time for her first tutorial, you found her staring at you often again. At first, you thought that maybe you were just hallucinating or blowing this out of proportion. Then, the second tutorial rolled around and the same thing happened. Then, the third time it happened, you couldn’t shake it off anymore. One time was a fluke, twice was a coincidence, but three times? This was a pattern, but you didn’t understand why. As if she heard your question, Natasha asked you to stay a bit after her fourth tutorial.

“Relax, you’re not in trouble,” she said as soon as the last student left.

“Phew, I thought you were gonna tell me I botched the last assignment,” you admitted, somewhat jokingly. You’d submitted the assignment 3 minutes before the deadline and you weren’t expecting an excellent grade. “What did you want to talk about?”

“Right, so, you probably noticed I’ve been… staring at you a lot,” Natasha said and cringed at her wording. “I don’t mean to be creepy, but I’m sure I’m coming off that way, so I wanted to apologize for that.”

“You don’t come off that way,” you reassured her with a chuckle, and you couldn’t help but feel proud of yourself for not stumbling over your words despite how nervous you were feeling.

“This is gonna sound crazy, but I feel like I’ve seen you before. You seem so… familiar.”

You winced, preparing yourself to reveal that she was indeed not losing her mind and that you had in fact met before. “We, uh, went to the same high school, I believe.”

Natasha frowned as she tried to place your face and then her eyes grew wide. “You’re the girl with the cupcake notebook,” she gasped.

“I was hoping you wouldn’t remember that,” you admitted with a grimace.

“Kinda hard to forget such a bright notebook compared to all the plain ones everyone else had.”

“Yeah…”

You were always somewhat self-conscious about that. It made you feel like you weren’t mature enough for your age. At the same time though, so what? You liked colourful things. Also, you were still 14 at the time. You were still a child, technically speaking.

“I thought it was cute,” Natasha added quietly. You dared look back up and found nothing but sincerity in those green eyes.

From that day forward, you started getting closer to Natasha. You thought the intense staring would stop now that her mind was put at ease, but somehow, it persisted. It wasn’t exactly the same as before though. You couldn’t pinpoint what it was exactly, but the way she watched you felt different.

“She’s into you,” Darcy stated as if it was the most obvious thing ever.

“She’s not,” you affirmed, grabbing the blanket to put over you and Darcy. You had just finished midterms last week and you and Darcy had decided to treat yourselves to a cozy Friday night in your dorm room. You had gotten way too much takeout and snacks for your movie night, but whatever. You deserved it after working so hard these past few weeks.

“I’m telling you, she is. Why wouldn’t she? You’re hot.”

Your cheeks instantly warmed up at the compliment. Darcy never shied away from telling you exactly what she thought, but you still weren’t used to her comments when they were about you.

“Well, she’s my TA,” you tried to reason, but Darcy was having none of it.

“Exactly! She’s just your TA. She’s not your prof. If you’re really worried about it, I say just go for it after the semester ends.”

You threw your pillow at Darcy and just laughed. Needless to say, you didn’t follow her advice. All you did was behave normally around Natasha. Well, you had also purposefully gone to office hours to ask Natasha questions even though you didn’t really have any just so you got to see her more. Whether Natasha caught onto that or not, she never mentioned it. In fact, she even seemed to rejoice in your presence. Every time you showed up, it was as if her smile grew wider, more genuine, which differed from the one she gave your classmates.

“You know, I’m kinda gonna miss not dedicating my Tuesday afternoons to your office hours,” you said, partly joking as you packed your things up to leave. It was the last week of the semester and less than a month from now, you would be done with this course and you would no longer have a reason to spend time with Natasha.

“Tuesdays can still be our day,” Natasha suggested, although her voice carried none of the joking tone yours did. A determined look washed over her features that had your heart racing.

“What are you implying here?” you asked, but you already knew where she was going with this. Or rather you were hoping your intuition was right.

“I’m still your TA for a few more weeks, but after that… well, I don’t see why we couldn’t continue seeing each other. Preferably outside of this office and back at my place?”

“I’d like that,” you said, shyly grinning as you put the strap of your tote bag over your shoulder.

And you indeed got to see her more. You spent so much time at her apartment you had two drawers at her place. Your things were also scattered all around her home. You practically lived there.

You had dated throughout high school, but no one ever made you feel the way Natasha did and none of your relationships had ever been this serious. In all honesty, you were surprised the relationship lasted so long. Not to be a pessimist, but you were still wondering if this was some sick joke that she was pulling for the first few weeks you started dating. You knew Natasha enough though and she wasn’t that cruel.

Or so you thought.

It was the first week of summer vacation. Darcy had left just a few days ago for her family’s house after you told her it was okay since Natasha would come pick you up soon. You were 22 and most of your classmates from your cohort had graduated this year, but you were taking an extra year, mostly because you weren’t sure what you wanted to do with your life. You never even wanted to go to college. If it weren’t for your parents, you would’ve gone to culinary school so you could open your own little bakery. Your parents didn’t approve, so now you were pursuing a communications degree for who knows why. Apparently, that was precisely what didn’t work for Natasha.

“What do you mean?” you asked, feeling a lump forming in your throat.

“We’re just going in 2 different paths. You’re still 22 and I’m turning 25 soon—“

“Don’t you dare use age as an excuse.”

“I’m not. I’m just saying that we’re living completely different lives,” Natasha sighed, running one hand through her short red curls. She looked good with shorter hair, you had to admit. It was actually the first thing you were going to mention when she finally got to your dorm, but before you finished greeting her, she told you you two needed to talk. She didn’t even sit down and started talking about how you two should break up.

“You always told me it was okay that I took longer to finish college,” you muttered, refusing to meet her eye.

“It is. There’s nothing wrong with that,” she reiterated, placing one hand one your shoulder, “I want you to take your time and go into a field you enjoy. It’s just that now, I’m really starting my career while you’re still studying. I don’t have the same free time I used to. I can’t just drop by your dorm whenever you ask me to or stay over because you want cuddles.”

“You’re making it sound like I’m a burden,” you accused, unable to hide the bitterness in your voice.

“It’s not that,” she groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose.

“Then, what is it? Because I don’t get where this is coming from.”

You really didn’t. You thought Natasha was coming over to help you pack the last of your things and bring them over to her new apartment. After all, you had spent the last few weeks talking about how you’d be spending the whole summer together. The last thing you expected was for her to come over to dump you.

“I just…” For the first time since you’d met Natasha, she seemed to be at lost for words. The frown on her face hadn’t left since she stepped foot inside your dorm room. It was as if it was permanently plastered there as she mulled over how she wanted to phrase what she was about to say next. “I don’t have time anymore.”

Decidedly, that was not her best moment, but the words were already put out there and there were no takebacks. “Wow,” you said, letting out an airy laugh, although there was nothing funny about the situation.

“I’m sor–”

“Tell me, did this relationship ever mean anything to you or was I just some sort of chore to you this whole time?”

“You’re not a chore,” Natasha insisted.

“Well, you sure aren’t convincing me otherwise with all the beautiful words you’re sharing with me!” you said, exasperated by this conversation. “You know what, Natasha? Leave.”

“Babe–”

“No, fuck you,” you scowled, “you don’t get to break my heart and then try to soothe me as if you did nothing wrong. You want to break up because I’m ‘not worth your time’ anymore? Fine, whatever, I hope you have fun at your fancy marketing job and fall in love with a hotshot businesswoman, you know someone totally different from me.”

“I’m truly sorry. I swear I never meant to hurt you,” she said with her head hung low.

“Just leave, Natasha.”

This time, the older woman followed your request and headed towards the door. You turned away from her, not allowing yourself to watch her leave because if you did, it would make things a thousand times worse. You just curled into your bed, suitcase completely forgotten on the floor, and kept your tears at bay until you were sure Natasha was gone. If you had spared a glance her way, you would’ve seen how this wasn’t easy on Natasha, how her eyes were as teary as yours, how she lingered by the door, debating on taking everything back and run over to apologize and hold you. But the rational side of her wouldn’t let her.

She had a 5-year-plan, and if she wanted to to advance in her career at the speed she wanted to, then a relationship was out of the question; it would just serve as a distraction that would slow her down. So, she whispered, “I’m so sorry,” one last time before shutting the door behind her. Hearing the soft click of the door confirmed Natasha’s departure and broke your heart even more.

Natasha was gone.

You and Natasha may have changed in a million different ways over the last few years you had known each other, but there was one thing that remained the same. You would probably never stop wanting her, but Natasha Romanoff was always just out of reach.

[ask-the-riders]

A Security Breach riders AU sorta thing

Just hear me out, here-

Death as Freddy, because he's already pretty much the Dad™ of the group and he does have a soft spot for kids

Famine as Monty, because he's a big dude who looks kinda scary to some people, but actually has a soft boi hobby (*coughs* cooking. Monty's soft boi hobby is golfing)

War as Roxy, because of her short fuse and speculated insecurity/low self esteem/inferiority complex. She constantly pushes herself to be the best and the strongest, because who would she be if she couldn't do that? She'd be weak (and feel like she was nothing, in turn), and that's not at all what she wants

Pest as Chica, because he likes children and eats garbage. While Chica has had her little cupcake buddies, Pest has rat friends

(this got a little long, so everyone else is under the cut XP)

Connie as Sun, because she adores children and would seriously love to spend all of her time with them. Caring for them is a breeze for her, and as long as she had the energy and time for it, she probably could start turning into a bit of a neat freak. She also has more anxiety than she lets on, and she usually hides it with a smile and silly jokes

Ret as Moon, because he can be soft with kids, but his job has hardened him to the point where it's hard to be soft with anyone at all some days. He can be soft with Connie and Mortem, but sometimes, he actually needs to consciously make an effort to let his guard down around the others. He's definitely a neat freak, and he has a tendency to be a little short fused and scary at times

Abrael as map bot, because c'mon, it's funny. That, and y'know. Pirates and maps. If Foxy was still an active character in the game, I would've said they'd be him instead

Roulette as Vanny/Vanessa, because of the white rabbit theme. That, and I read that Vanessa was a follower of Afton's, which would line up perfectly wiiiiiiiiiiiiiith-

Othni as Springtrap/Afton, because he's a wacked out old man with some serious issues. Othni's scent is a mix of rotten fruit and smoke, which kinda lines up with how Afton's been burned only god knows how many times now. Othni's also a homicidal maniac that's a little too stab happy, which seems like a very Afton kind of thing, too

Then literally any child character could be Gregory, except for Paragon and Eris (since they're babies still, obviously). Every other child though? Mortem, Pixie, Iniko? All chaotic little heathens. Ivy and Marcell could be heathens too, but for the most part, they're both good kids with too much anxiety to be Gregory

Added bonus: Fresh as DJ Music Man, because 1) music and dancing, 2) cool guy vibes, and 3) goes from 0 to 100 really fricken fast and is terrifying. They're both big guys, too

Connie as Sun and a Shattered version of herself as Moon could be cool though, too. Same with Ret turning into Lyzer, or even War turning into 406. Another one I considered was Geno turning into Error, since they're already two guys stuck sharing a body, just like Sun and Moon

[notnights]

I don’t like to think the science team stay together much after the rescas, they have meet ups and stuff and still hang out and talk but they don’t live together or anything. Only Benrey stays at Tommy’s house mostly but he also just kind of teleports into the other science team’s homes when he’s bored.

Coomer will come out of the shower and see Benrey eating his cereal and he’s like “Oh, hello Benny! What brings you to my humble abode today?” Benrey replies with his mouth full something unintelligible. “Ah, well it’s always great to see you!! Feel free to stay as long as you like!” Their interactions are usually like mischievous teens at a sleep over and they will make prank calls, and jump off the sofas, causing a ruckus in Coomer’s fancy apartment and the down-store neighbors hate it. “That top guy’s grandson must be here again...”

Benrey will appear when Bubby least expects it and screams about it before it just goes into “oh it’s just you... [sigh] don’t I see you enough at work? Whatever, I’ll be in my bedroom watching my shows, don’t bother me.” Bubby starts walking off only to shout back “don’t eat the cupcakes in the fridge those are mine!” Despite telling Benrey to leave him alone, Benrey will find his way into opening Bubby’s door. “Don’t you ever knock?” “What’re you watching.” “My stories! Now be quiet a very important scene is about to happen!” Benrey walks over to Bubby’s bed and watches the TV and it’s just Invader ZIM on screen. “Hey that’s the green dog at your job.” “Yep.” “What kind of show is this?” Bubby will end up just rambling about the story so far and characters to catch Benrey up (this goes for any show) and Benrey listens with intensity because he’s into this actually. Wants to know what happens.

As for Gordon,  the first couple of times Benrey appeared in Gordon’s house, he shot him in the face. Only for Benrey to reply with “ow dude.” But gets the message, sometimes ragdolls, but leaves, etc. Eventually Gordon hesitates, sighs and sets the gun down since nothing is stopping Benrey from coming back anyway. Just lets Benrey wander around his apartment asking what things are, judging his decor, but after Gordon doesn’t respond to any of his comments leaves again. Leaving Gordon going “thank god.” Eventually the visits ware Gordon down though and they get a little friendly. Gordon will tell Benrey not to make a mess, if he’s making food he will offer Benrey a serving, but anytime Gordon’s had enough of Benrey/when Benrey goes too far he will pull the gun out and shoot him as a sign to leave/sometimes Benrey will teleport away before then getting the hint Gordon is done with him for the day. Leaves with an echo though saying something like “wow rude,” “Could’ve just told me to leave,” or “see you next week,” or dialogue alike to that.

Sometimes when not working, Benrey will be wandering around town or anywhere just watching things happening. Will stare for hours at the ants going in and out of their hill. If it happens to be near Tommy’s place sometimes Tommy will walk past him, “oh there you are Benrey. :) I haven’t seen you all week, have you at least be getting to work?” “Yeah.” “That’s good. Has the- has it- how has your week been?” “Nice.” “That’s good to hear!! Do you, do you want to continue with me on my walk for Sunkist?” Tommy begins his walk again knowing if Benrey wants to he will follow. Sometimes finally make it home with him, offers Benrey some dinner, says he’s been getting better at cooking. “I’ll be the judge of that.” Tommy laughs, and it makes Benrey smile, but comments to hurry on that food he’s hungry.

Benrey has his own room in Tommy’s house, which is technically both him and Gman’s, but Gman is always off on “business trips,” so it’s mostly just Tommy and Sunkist, and more often than not, Benrey. When Gman comes home though, he is uncomfortable with Benrey’s presence, and Benrey loves to mess with him for that reason. Besides he likes bullying him a little as punishment for abandoning such a cool person like Tommy for so many years.
