*°:⋆ₓₒ dance with me, baby!
dazai as your boyfriend headcanons
content: fluff, dazai is head over heels in love, maybe ooc??, dazai calls you "dear", gn!reader
Tumblr media
: ̗̀➛ dazai was definitely the first to fall, and how could he not?! everything about you was absolutely adorable to dazai; your sweet smile, eyes that shine beautifully under the sunlight and most of all, your amiable personality. he was absolutely smitten
: ̗̀➛ but despite being absolutely in love with you, he never found the right time to ever confess to you. until you eventually stepped up and decided to confess to him, how the tables turn
: ̗̀➛ when it comes to pda, dazai's the farthest thing from ashamed. doesn't matter where the hell you two are, dazai's clinging onto you like two magnets.
: ̗̀➛ he absolutely LOVES holding hands with you. the warmth that radiates from you two just make him so fuzzy on the inside, plus it lets everyone around you know that you two are a couple! most of the ada members (and chuuya) think that it's absolutely repulsive seeing dazai act like a puppy around you, but he doesn't really care! as long as you're fine with it, he'll continue to do so
"can you two just get a fucking room?!" chuuya snapped, a raging inferno lighting in his eyes as he watched dazai cuddle up with your arm. you giggled, feeling dazai's hair ruffling against your neck and cheek.
dazai smirked, "hmm? you jealous, chuuya~??"
: ̗̀➛ when you two go on dates, it's like one of those really cliche dates that you only see in fiction. movie dates, amusement parks, you name it!
: ̗̀➛ when it comes to gifts, it's nothing too extravagant from dazai. he really likes giving you flowers, the ones with pretty colors which smell amazing. when he gives them to you, he exaggerates everything and gets down on one knee as he holds the beautifully arranged bouquet in his hands, smirking. you laugh and take the bouquet from his hands before giving him a quick peck on the cheek
: ̗̀➛ constantly "jokes" about marrying you, everything you do is just absolutely perfect. you could literally be throwing out the trash and he'd still sigh dreamily, taking your hand and asking you for your hand in marriage
"you're beautiful as always, dear. ah! let's just get married already!"
: ̗̀➛ says that he misses you every. second. of. the. day. even if you're standing a few feet away from him, he'd still say it
"i miss them, kunikida." dazai sighed as he fidgeted with the black pen on the desk.
"they’re literally sitting across from you.."
Tumblr media
author's note(s): i literally have no clue how couples act 🏃 idk if ill ever write bf headcanons for other characters again bc i have no idea how to properly write abt romance but enjoy dazai lovers

red vs blue was queerbaiting us.
no, seriously. let's talk about it.
roosterteeth, as a company, prided themselves on always doing better and making strides, especially in their later years. they made a big deal about having canon queer characters in their series, particularly in rwby. i'm in no way saying they never cared about queer stories/characters, because they had a lot of queer people working on multiple series over the years, but this time i'm specifically talking about how queer characters, stories, and relationships were used to bait audiences for red vs blue.
yes, i'm talking about grif and simmons.
i'm aware that not every instance of two characters being close constitutes attraction, and i'm also aware that despite there being a lot of gay jokes at the expense of these two, that doesn't actually make them gay.
however.
everything that started as jokes was gradually evolved into a deep, genuine relationship between these two. the opening line, what was originally a throwaway gag, became the most quotable line because of how it permeates the show. "do you ever wonder why we're here?" / "it's one of life's great mysteries." becomes how grif and simmons connect with both each other and the audience, and it's incredibly rare that any other characters have this specific call and response. the ultimate payoff comes in the finale, where simmons asks, "did you ever figure out why we were here?"
from the very beginning, these two are an established pair, complimentary to each other's characters and very rarely without the other.
gags about them acting like an old married couple and calling them gay evolved into full-on, genuine bonds between them, break-ups and subsequent reunions where a character jokes about waiting to see them kiss, them literally having sex in a closet and being too embarrassed to talk about it, and grif asking simmons to run away with him in the finale.
simmons discharged him (which in the context of the show, is quite possibly the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for grif) and the first thing grif thought of was simmons coming home with him.
about that finale:
WHY DID THEY SEPARATE GRIF AND SIMMONS.
the duo established in the FIRST SCENE of the entire show ends with grif going back to earth and simmons staying in blood gulch?? alone???? this genuinely upset me. they are a pair. do not separate. simmons, who was so torn up after grif voluntarily leaving that he talked about it for weeks to anyone who would listen. grif, who regretted leaving so bad he went full castaway and was willing to team up with locus just to get back to simmmons specifically.
roosterteeth specifically played into the relationship between these two and knew damn well what they were doing. longing stares. break-ups. emotional reunions. almost confessions. "come with me." the closet scene. sharing rooms everywhere. "do you ever wonder why we're here?" "it's one of life's great mysteries."
thanks for the series and the characters, roosterteeth. it's almost iconic that the one thing that never changed was the fucking queerbait.

Summary: Not everyone is interested in getting married, but in a dangerous life, a lot of bad things can happen. Especially in Jake and MC’s life, the couple cares a lot about safety. So they just wanted to be prepared for the worst. But if you have a Kaden, you don’t need enemies anymore.
Pairing: Jake x Fem!MC (She/Her)
Other characters: Kaden. (Jake's extroverted Brother. (If you don't know him yet, Kaden is an OC made by a couple of people from our Fandom. It began as little joke but some of us really enjoy the idea of him.) + The Group
Words: 2718
Warnings: Strong language / Marriage / Fast progress (?) / Implied accidents, death and severe injury (?) Not really but just in case. Quickly written
A/N: Okay, so, I wrote it this morning. If you’ve been following me for a while, you might know that I’m not a fan of getting married. Nevertheless, I had this idea in my head for a long time and somehow it came out today. I think it kinda suits MC and Jake. At least, how I imagine them so maybe you will like it as well. Please forgive me for any mistakes. Have fun. 💚 Oh, and very important, don't be like Kaden. Let people live. Do not force anyone into thinking that things like marriage is important to be fully happy. :)
Tumblr media
"Yo yo yo, my two favourite chaotics." Kaden did not bother to wait until MC went out of the way and just pushed past her into the apartment as soon as the door was wide enough open.
"Ready for party?" he added and turned to the young woman, who closed the door while rolling her eyes.
"Sure, party, at the Rainbow, I can already see the hangover due to too much cake," mocked his brother’s girlfriend.
"MC, my sweet little MC," Kaden spoke as if he wanted to explain important life-rules to a 5 year old child. He came up to her, cupping her face and bringing his so close to her that his nose almost touched hers, "Anything can be a party if you act accordingly." He nudged her nose with a finger befor distancing himself again.
"So, where’s my dear brother? Not ready as usual, huh?"
He almost jumped straight through the room to the spiral staircase, took the first three steps up and singsong, "Jake, move your ugly ass down, we’re too late!"
MC couldn’t help but grin, "Wait here, I’ll get him, I have to change my shirt anyway."
As she went upstairs, Kaden sighed bored. As always, he was unfamiliar with privacy, and as long as he had to wait, he could also look around a bit. After all, it was the couple’s own fault.
If they weren’t late, he wouldn’t have time for this.
First he examined the framed picture of himself, his mother and his brother, which was palced on a dresser. This picture was taken almost 15 years ago and the two boys had been quite young and happy at the time. Every time he was here, he looked slightly melancholically at this picture, sighed and put it away with a grin. Just as now.
He already knew the rest of the living room by heart, at least the obvious decoration. He also knew most of the drawers, but decided to take a look at the top drawer. Maybe it has some new, interesting things to discover.
The drawer opened and the man froze as he saw the indeed new paper.
'Registry office - Certificate of marriage'
The words literally screamed into his face. If he had something to drink in his hand now, he would probably have spit the liquid against the next wall and choked terribly. Instead, his heart skipped a couple of important beats while he kept reading the couple’s, sorry, spouse's, two signatures at the end of the note over and over.
The words raced through his head, he understood what was there, but it took him a good minute to realize it.
But then, then it hit him right.
"What the fucking hell!" he yelled, grabbed the sealed paper and jumped up the stairs, ignoring two steps at a time.
At the same time, the door of Jake’s office opened and MC came out of the bedroom.
"What the hell is that?" Kaden waged furiously with the certificate in front of their faces, staring at them with wide eyes and shook his head in disbelief. He repeated his question, making a tiny pause between every word to emphasize the seriousness.
MC’s eyes grew even bigger than before while Jake could do nothing but looking tormented at his... wife.
When neither of the two attempted to answer, Kaden frantically hissed, "You are married! I thought you didn’t want to get married? And then you do it? Secretly?"
The woman wanted to approach him, calling his name calmingly.
He interrupted her, "Why the fuck didn’t you tell me?"
Jake sighed while passing her to enter the bedroom. But not without placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Kaden, come down, you’re exhausting." His brother stopped in front of the closet, opened it and grabbed a hoodie which he pulled over his black shirt.
"I am exhausting? You got married! Without telling anyone!" the younger brother followed the hacker into the room.
MC stood behind him and gave Jake a tired look.
"Kaden, stop" she pleaded, "Yes, we got married. And we didn’t say anything because we didn’t want to make a big deal of it."
"No big deal?" Kaden snapped, "The most antisocial man in the world," pointing straight at Jake, "My brother. Got married! To a real, living woman, and you’re telling me that’s not a big deal?"
"Right." Jake growled, offended by the previously spoken words, "Because it’s no big deal."
"Why didn’t you say anything? And why the hell are you suddenly getting married and keeping it secret? You don’t even wear rings!"
"We didn’t say anything because we didn’t get married to capture our love on a piece of paper." MC joined her husband’s side. She grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes. His blue was filled with warmth and pure affection for her. "You know," she continued, "What happened with Richy back then, and after Jake disappeared and the arrest - we’ve just seen too many times what can go wrong without being able to expect it. Too often we have had to watch disasters, so call us ridiculous, but the reason we decided to take this step..," she paused. For the hacker, it was the sign to continue her sentence. He cleared his throat, the air suddenly seemed to be suffocating, "If anything happens. To me or MC, then we want to be able to decide about the other. No, rather for the other. Should the case occur that we ourselves can no longer do it."
For a few moments it was very quiet in the room. Not even Kaden, for once, knew what to say. Instead, he looked at his counterparts with a mixture of disbelief and concern.
This time it was MC who had to clear her throat, her voice sounded still a bit hoarse, "When it came to what happens with Richy in the hospital, the drama of who has the authority and all that. The argument between Jessy and Richy’s father - we just want to be able to do what’s best for the other. And only as a couple this is not possible, so we decided to get married without ceremony or anything else. Only legal and fast, and only for this one specific reason. You know that we both didn’t really want to get married, so we didn’t want to celebrate either. On the other hand, the reason why we did it, is not a reason worth to celebrate. We discussed it normally and decided to do it to be on the safe side if the worst case ever comes true. And we didn’t tell you anything because we really didn’t want you to make this thing bigger than it is. We love you, Kaden, but you know that keeping secrets and discretion are not your strengths." His new sister-in-law grinned slightly at the end.
Kaden looked slightly hurt, but could not stop the small grin that slowly crept on his lips. Everything he could get out was a soft, "Okay."
"O-okay?" Jake’s face grimaced in amazement, "No more? You accept it as it is?"
No, of course he did not.
"Yes, I do. I guess I have no choice. I admit, I feel hurt, but I have to live with it. I’m happy for both of you, tho." He dropped the paper onto their bed, bridged the gap and pulled the couple into a firm embrace.
"You are pathetic unromantic," Kaden muttered and ended the tender moment.
"We do know."
"I think we should really get going now." Jake recalled the meeting.
"Righty-right." his brother clapped his hands, "Let’s go!" He did not hesitate another second, leaving the two speechless behind.
Neither Jake nor MC trusted this situation, it did not suit Kaden to simply swallow such a thing and then continue. He makes a big deal out of everything. This reaction was more than suspect.
~
15 minutes later the three got out of Kaden’s car. They could already see the group sitting outside the Rainbow at a big table, laughing.
"Kaden," Jake’s voice was warning, "No word to the others, understand?"
"Ay ay, sir." He saluted exaggeratedly and nodded, "Go ahead, I’ll be right back, I’ll have to buy something for my computer." Jake tried to reach for his brother's arm but Kaden escaped him, "Don't worry, I will hurry up."
The young woman rolled her eyes once again, taking Jake’s hand into her own and together they joined their other friends.
~
Just as the friendly waitress had placed the last ordered drink on the table and left, Kaden suddenly appeared at the table.
Right behind Jake and MC.
"Hello, dearest brother." Lilly’s eyes began to glow with joy, but her second half-brother ignored her. He was way too busy praising himself for his very next move.
Without shame, he placed a small square box in front of the couple. It was clearly a ring box, covered in wonderful black velvet.
'Fuck you, Kaden!' MC hissed in her mind and closed her eyes, trying to control her breath. Or rather, her rapidly rising anger level.
"Kaden-" The hacker growled and wanted to turn around, but Kaden pressed his hand against Jake's mouth. "For the newly married couple!" he purred.
At the table it became dead-silent, just like Kaden earlier, everyone froze in the middle of the movement, staring at the standing man, then switching to Jake and MC.
"What do you mean, excuse me?" Jessy choked on her coffee. Dan who was sitting next to her immediately started patting her back a little too hard. The redhead coughed while trying to grab Dan’s hand, "Ouch, stop!"
"Yeah, right. Joker and Harley. V and Evey. Romio and Julia, the last one is the best fitting one, married quietly and secretly, sneakily and cocky, and they didn’t tell anyone."
Lilly almost jumped up from her chair, "You seriously got married?"
Hannah began to smile slowly. "Is that true? You got married?" The older sister looks at them like real unicorns are sitting in front of her. Her eyes were a real competition for the ones of the little girl in the movie 'Despicable Me'.
The first shock had dissolved and everyone started to talk wildly.
"Goddamnit Kaden, you fucking asshole!" Jake turned to his brother and wanted to get up to be at his eye level, but MC put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Let’s just do it, we have no other choice anyway."
To put an end to the discussion, she took Jake’s hand and then spoke out loud to get through the jumble of voices, "Yes, we got married. Two weeks ago. No, we didn’t do it out of infinite love, even if we do, we just want to be able to take care of each other, even in an emergency. We don’t wanted a situation like the one we had with Richy back then. No, we do not want to celebrate now and we do not want to make a big issue of it. We’re a couple like before, we just signed a note, that’s all."
Kaden’s grin grew wider and wider, if that was still possible, while he finally took the last free chair.
Seconds passed again, filled with nothing but silence, then the voice-chaos repeated.
MC whined and dropped her head against Jake’s shoulder, needed his near and searching for support. To her surprise, even he was grinning lightly. She had rather expected that the hacker would take the fork in front of him and ram it into Kaden’s shoulder.
Mentioned one just leaned back contentedly in his chair and watched the whole thing with devilish pleasure.
"You're officially banned from our home!"
He gratefully pretended to put the middle finger he had just been shown by his beloved sister-in-law into his pocket.
"Excuse me," the waitress stepped back into the action, "There seems to be a big reason for you discussion, but I ask you to be a little quieter, the other guests also want to talk."
"Sorry, Liza, we’ll be quiet." Cleo knew the woman for a long time, they both had attended several cooking classes together.
"Oh, and congratulations," she turned to Jake and MC before moving to another table.
"Listen," Jake’s brother supported his elbows on the table and leaned forward, "I know you both hate me now-"
Jake snorted, "Not only since now."
A unanimous laugh, an eye-rolling of Kaden, a punch against Jake's chest by MC.
"Okay, correction: I know you hate me even more now," he winked, "But I had a good reason to be an asshole."
"Pah," Dan chuckled, "Funny. You say that every time."
"Let him finish, Dan" Although Thomas said what everyone thought, he just pulled his head in and looked consistently away from the bearded one.
"Thank you, Thomas." The younger brother blew a kiss towards Thomas.
"Well, you hate me, okay, we hate you for not saying a word to us, but I still want to make one thing clear. Warning, cheesy shit ahead - For you, this may be a small and insignificant thing, but not for us. If you don’t want to celebrate, okay, but we want to celebrate."
Lilly cut him off, "Exactly!"
"Shit," Hannah sobbed, her boyfriend immediately wrapped an arm around her, she continued, "Kaden is right, I understand why you didn’t say anything. And yes, this is appropriative, I admit it. But I don’t know of any couple who deserves the pure happiness more than you two, no couple has had it as hard as the two of you. And if it’s not a big happening for you-"
"For us it is." Cleo solemnly raised her glass.
"Truly!" Jessy did the same.
"Blah blah blah."
"Dan!" The whole group snapped at him at the same time which leads him to raise his hands in defence.
"Check out the rings," Kaden nodded at the box. Jake did as instructed. To be honest, he liked the whole thing here. Although he did not think much of marriage as proof of love, the term 'my wife' made him proud. And he also liked the idea of wearing matching rings with her more and more.
In the beautiful box there were two matt black rings, a slightly larger and wider one, and the second slightly smaller and narrower.
The hacker pulled out the smaller, MC still leaned against his shoulder.
"See the inside." Kaden smiled lovingly.
'Till Death' was neatly engraved inside.
"The second looks the same," the ring buyer informed them with another wink.
The new bride looked at him stunned, "They're beautiful!"
"And absolute destiny. These were the only not boring rings the jeweler had, see if they fit you."
Hannah had already pulled out her phone and filmed the couple.
MC giggled and pulled out the second ring, "Alright, let's do this." She exhaled loudly and turned to Jake, he followed her example.
"And three, two, one." Lilly joked. Thomas tapped the table with his palms, imitating a drum roll.
And then, more ceremonial than they ever imagined, the two of them put the ring on each other’s fingers. Of course, they fitted perfectly.
Kaden laughed happily, "You may kiss the bride now! But remember, we are in public, 18 plus is not -"
Before the he could finish his sentence, the spouses already kissed each other.
The group cheered and clapped loudly. But not only them. Of course, by now, all the other people around the group had long understood what was happening there and joined the small celebration.
Jake and MC, both slightly flushed, smiled into the kiss. Even if it was not as they had imagined, they were more than happy. The reason for this was not the meaning of a marriage or something similar, but the love of her friends and family.
"Till Death," Jake whispered, leaning his forehead against his wife’s. "Till Death." MC agreed just as quietly.
Till death, and beyond.

Okay, so jumping here. I've been thinking and imo the 'Lilith' is Eve in disguise and Rosie is Lilith theory still holds true. This is brought to you by me going "We know Viv is a shitty writer, so from the writing already available, where would she lead the plot NOW?" and by my tinfoil hat.
We know Lilith is somewhere in Heaven (maybe even in Eden itself). Unless she pulls the weirdest explanation out of her hat for why she took a small vacay for 7 YEARS abandoning her daughter (with whom we know she had a good relationship with, IF that part of the pilot is still true. She never stopped to explain what parts of the pilot are still true, ffs.), Lilith would never. I don't even think she:
1) Would be allowed in Heaven, even by making a deal with Adam.
2) Adam's pride is too big for him to simply accept such a deal and Lilith's pride would be equally big imo. This interaction would never work.
So that has to be Eve. And Adam *has* to know that that's Eve. Or he doesn't, idc. Point is, it's far more likely by normal logic for that to be Eve. By Viv logic...? Not so much.
Which brings me to my second point! Rosie and her character. I did kind of feel the Mary Poppins vibes a bit, ngl. Horrible redesign, but oh well... The way she reacted to Charlie, her going "yeah, singing totes works here, in the *cannibal* colony!" and her giving that love advice + "we all did things we aren't proud of" + the fact that she's a "hellborn"? She has to be Lilith, sorry. Also also I feel like cannibalism isn't even such a big deal??? In the show I mean. It's literally so cartoonish it simply becomes a hellish quirk for some inhabitants. Sure Alastor, you're a cannibal, boo-hoo. I don't feel threatened by any of them, is what I mean. And even irl, I feel like yeah, it's gross and most likely getting yourself sick, but what makes cannibalism truly bad is the act of *killing* that person, ye know? In Viv's Hell that can't even happen, they'll just respawn, no problem.
And my final reason issss: Viv just ran so fast past 4 seasons worth of plot that imo she backed herself info a corner. The only things keeping the plot going are...Alastor's deal and who he made it with. It's probably Roo or Eve (or Lilith if Rosie is just Rosie), but I have a feeling like it can't be so simple with her, she has to pull a super complicated sayan explanation to make it seem like she just had us all guessing the wrong things, she's suuuuch a literary genius. And she loves musicals a bit too much (Adam is literally just Beetlejuice minus everything interesting about him), so pulling a Sweeney Todd sounds very in-character for her.
Now, speaking of Alastor....I haaaate how she destroyed his character with all the swearing and the petty edgelord-ness. She's not smart enough to write a smart chaotic presence/maybe potential villain. There, I said it. She should open a psychology book or some shit (she should've hired psychologists to coach her about writing about topics such as SA, addiction, sadistic/criminal personalities and so on, but we know she never put such thought into her work). Or at least a sensibility reader for her plot, smh. The overall tone of the show is jumping around faster than a bunny on electrolytes.
And as always, Alastor and Rosie have more chemistry than Charlie and Vaggie literally the "main" couple. They seem like a 30s married couple, tbh.
Also also super confused about Alastor's microphone and how she can hand it over to Charlie??? Why would he do that??? Are we supposed to understand he now cares about her? Handling his (presumably from the Adam fight) source of power to her just like that?? TWICE?!?
I understand his final lyrics are supposed to be "holy shit, I almost died for these people, what is wrong with me???" in a nutshell (+ that part about the contract), but we were never SHOWN how he became more attached to them??? We just have to believe him based on the talks with Rosie and Niffty respectively. What a joke. (Niffty got partially restored in my brain, at least).
-idk, Broadcast🎭 anon- (I know I DMed u, but yea)
Honestly? Even if this leak never comes true the way Viv planned it back then, I for one am having a great time speculating.

Things i do like about Danny Phantom (for a change)
-The art design is pretty solid, even better than some animated series nowadays. -The series has some good soundtrack. I like those tones that play during the title cards -The voice acting is excellent -The backstories of some ghosts, specially in the earlier episodes. -The balance between Danny having clever moments and others having one-half braincell. -Danny Fenton is overall one of the most solid protagonists in animated series from these years you can find. He has an overall fun arc of him growing as character over time. -Vlad Masters in some ways is an excellent villain (with all his problems in writing). He is one of the most iconic Nickelodeon animated series villains. He is also pretty complex, which was unique for its time. -The relationship and foil between Danny and Vlad is very interesting. Vlad was literally designed to be a contrast to Danny, having a trio of friends just like Danny before the accident that turned him into a ghost. -Valerie Gray is one of the best written characters in the show without doubt, in spite of barely showing up later half of the show. Her enemy to lovers relationship with Danny is one of the best parts of the series. -Jazz Fenton character overall. She is another of the best written characters and she has good arc. Her sibling relationship with Danny is well developed. -Sam and Tucker can have some fun interactions/scenes. -Danny having his parents being ghosthunters is a cool element in the show that allows for juicy scenarios. -Maddie and Jack being a (mostly) healthy loving married couple -How Jack and Maddie used to be Vlad's friends back in college and how that is tied to his backstory. Their dynamic is offers a lot of ideas to work with. -My Brother's Keeper is peak episode. -Season 1 has plenty of peak moments/episodes. -Dan is a great antagonist. He is a lot more interesting version of the ¨evil clone¨ trope since his character and backstory is more than just that. -Vilains-antagonists from this series are usually entertaining. -The dark shit the series was often allowed to get with for a Nickelodeon show and for those years. -Also some of the adults jokes the series was allowed to get away too -I do like the idea of Freakshow being a human antagonist that can control ghosts. I wish the serie could have had more human vilains/antagonists. -I do appreciate the series trying to explore Danny's classmates in a few episodes or them helping out.

How do you feel about Monica and Richard's relationship? Do you think he was her soulmate instead of Chandler?
I think they were a pretty great, adorable couple (Richard trying to find a neurosis of his own to make Monica feel better about her OCD lives rent-free in my head), had a lot of things in common, did their best to work through their relationship issues and the actors had fantastic chemistry. Richard was THE perfect guy for Monica in my eyes... until I saw her fall in love with, date, and marry Chandler, her actual soulmate.
Now, I know a lot of people are creeped out not just by their 21 year age gap, and, more importantly, by the fact that Richard knew her since she was a child because was best friend's with her father (they even say they're like brothers, and at least here in Brazil she'd have absolutely grown up calling him UNCLE Richard).
However:
1 - They're not real, so who cares?
2 - I'm a degenerate and I'm into it.
3 - They did spend years without having any contact (to the point that he doesn't even recognize her at first) and it's very clear that Richard only ever started feeling attracted to her when she was an adult - and not in a "He was waiting to get on her pants the very second she turned 18" kind of way, but rather as "She's literally 27-years-old, she's been a fully grown, adult woman for a LONG time."
And even though Friends, like any sitcom, is known for having the characters in very unrealistic situations for the sake comedy, drama or both (and that's a feature, not a bug) the way Richard and Monica's age difference was handled was pretty realistic.
Monica clearly likes that Richard is this suave, cool older man - but unlike with the rich guy she dates after him, it's obvious that she actually does like him for who he is beyond the superficial stuff, and isn't just giving this relationship a shot because she wants to get married and have kids, and needs a guy to achieve that. I felt soooooo sad for Richard when he was feeling like "one of the guys" then Joey and Chandler let slip that they like hanging out with him because their DADS were not as cool, and Monica was super sweet to him after.
The entire episode of her parents finding out about them on her dad's birthday was freaking amazing, mainly because the writers took full advantage of literally every opportunity for a good joke. Monica is asked if she'll tell them that night, and replies with "Yeah, for my father's birthday I decided to give him a stroke." Their mother asks if they thanked Richard for the ride, innocently just acting like a mom making sure her kids are being polite to their father's friend, and Ross just says "I'm sure Monica thanked him for the both of us." And, of course, everyone awkwardly singing happy birthday right after they had a falling out.
And that episode was also an exemple of Friends, a show that both fairly and unfairly described as very sexist, actually being pretty ahead of it's time when it comes to pointing out the full on misogyny that people often give themselves permission to engage on the very second a girl dates someone much older.
All of the guys are talking about Richard banging a younger woman (that they don't know is Monica) in a really gross way, with her own father even comparing it to the time he bought a cool, expensive car to deal with his mid-life crisis, and, much to both Richard and Ross's horror, suggesting they trade for a day. Sure, it's painting Richard as at least a bit of a loser for dating a younger woman after a long marriage that ended in divorce, but they're still expecting him to brag about it, seeing it as something cool and worth envying him for, and quite literally treating the "mystery younger woman" as an object instead of a person that genuinely cares about him, and that he cares for as well.
The women at the party aren't any better either, making wild assumptions about how Monica is probably just a stupid slut with nothing to offer, and that maybe she's even ugly and the only reason Richard is into her is because she is "Just young enough that everything is still pointing up." They literally know nothing about her beyond "She's younger than him, met him after he got divorced and started dating him" and are all still acting in such a spiteful way that, hearing one of them talk without any context, people could easily assume something like "Oh, she was with Richard first, and this story about him meeting this younger girl after the divorce is bullshit. He met while he was still married, had an affair, filled for divorce, and now the ex-wife hates this girl"
Even Monica's own mother gets all condescending the second she hears her daughter say the word RELATIONSHIP. It all makes for great television because it's a conflict that is not at all forced, makes you really root for the characters' romance to last, and, again, the writers took ALL the opportunities to make jokes about it.
But more importantly, when it was time to make their age gap be the real why they broke up, they didn't do it by turning Monica into an immature moron that was not good enough for him, or retconning Richard's characterization to make him all condescending, arrogant and assuming he knows better just because he's older - or worse, adding a cheap twist that he actually IS a creep that only liked her because she was an adventure/trophy, would cruelly toss her aside the second he got bored, and that he had secretly been screwing younger girls all the time behind his ex-wife's back. NOPE! None of that.
Instead the writers did the smart thing and acknowledged that both Monica and Richard wanted to get married and have kids... but Richard already did it. He got married, had kids, had grandkids, and then got divorced. If he marries Monica now, even if she turns out to be the love of his life and his absolute soulmate he is simply not gonna do all of that again just for her sake, nor should he, because he is in a different state of life and just wants someone to grow old with. It would not be fair of Monica if she tried to force him to have kids again - and it would not be fair of Richard if he expected her to just skip a whole stage of life that she had been super excited for, all because HE already got to have it, enjoy it, and reach the stage where HE was done with it.
And sure, during the drama when Chandler is pretending he will never be interested in marriage and kids, just to surprise Monica with a proposal, they kind of retcon that a bit by having Richard say he regrets that decision and WANTS to have children with her, but I accept that writing choice because:
1 - Literally no one else could fit that role as Chandler's rivals for that storyline without it feeling completely, and it was one of highlights of the last seasons of Friends, aka part of why I'll defend said seasons forever despite the drop in quality.
2 - Richard doesn't seem to have had a truly serious relationship with anyone after Monica because he's clearly not over her, so the pain of seeing her happy with someone else could easily make him start seeing the absolutely correct, but still very difficult choice he made in the past look like THE biggest mistake of his life. When he hear of him later he is not becoming a dad again, so I'll just choose to headcanon that once he found the right person he realized he dodged a bullet when Monica chose Chandler.
3 - Monica did, in fact, choose Chandler. Over Richard. The guy he had been all insecure about, for good reason because Monica would have clearly married him if it wasn't for the not having kids thing, and they had lingering feelings for each other for a looooong time. Her being given the perfect chance to go back to him, and not doing so, is the best way to show to the audience that no, she's not just settling for Chandler because she couldn't have Richard.
4 - Chandler and Richard's talk in which Richard agrees that he already had his chance and that he needs to step aside now because what he is doing isn't fair, Chandler calls him a good guy, and Richard then brags about AND says he hates that is adorable and very funny.
So there you have it. Richard is not Monica's soulmate, but in an AU in which she never met Chandler, or in which they remained purely platonic forever, Richard would be the ONLY acceptable endgame for her because That. Storyline. Was. So. Fucking. Good.

what the hell do archie and skelly have going on lol
FDJSKFKS GOOD FUCKING QUESTION
I don't.
I don't know fjdkf
The best way I can (and have in the past) described it is 'married in all forms except legal and physical' and what I mean by that is there's no canonical romantic relationship but they're basically a package deal at this point and act like a married couple but their official status is /p besties because Butters is a coward and denies the "Archie [REDACTED] [REDACTED]" allegations (//inside joke).
When I first made Skelly I thought he was gonna be a kind of 'draw him, think about him once every three years and never again' and for a while he was, it wasn't UNTIL I realised how funny it would be to have a skeleton and an archaeologist as friends that I started to actually develop Skelly and the historical brothers more so I can no longer separate the 3 of them. And I do love Pal also but he's slightly less relevant to Skelly since Pal's thing is dinos.
Anyway back to topic, Skelly and Archie's original dynamic was gonna be 'Archie wants to study him, Skelly hates his guts' but now it's 'Archie wants to study him, Skelly hates this aspect but otherwise loves Archie (not romantic or queerplatonic but a secret third thing- carbon dating)'
For some reason romancing a skeleton seems weirder than say. A ghost or vampire? Character dates thousand year old ghost/vampire? Cool pop off a love story for the ages no one finds this weird. Skeleton? Eyebrow raise, someone's going to jail. The lack of flesh perhaps? Skelly is a fully sentient / sapient being after all he just lacks ... errrr skin, organs and muscles. Tho that never stopped the Sans fangirls.
But more so than that the dynamic is just twice as funny if they're not ACTUALLY dating but everyone thinks they are / jokes are made around the topic. Like I'll make 1 million jokes that are shippy in nature without it actually being a 'thing'.
Now Archie DID have a crush on Swashbuckler that much was canon. But that exists within a fraction of a small part of a 'going back in time' part of an au and isn't super relevant other than to be the morally correct version /lh . It's like a weird love triangle where there's only two characters and Archie is down bad for Swashbuckler but "come on dude Skelly's a corpse" - but on his end, Skelly has some canonical jealousy issues surrounding Archie (noted in particular towards Rafflesia but that may because she's a more socially acceptable form of undead)
As far as BV goes they exist in a sort of outside the venn diagram situation where literally any dynamic between them goes it just depends on the day and mood they're in. (I'm in, I'm the one making the dumb bone jokes) It's like a weird red string of fate thing they're life partners but not life partners. Just some guy and his skeleton tombmate. Roommate. Oh my god they were shroommates.
There's also gonna be an issue of Archie's gonna die one day and that's really gonna fuck Skelly up because it'll be one of the first deaths since his reanimation that's gonna hurt. Maybe give it a thousand years and get a new necromancer to bring back SkeleArchie then we can have this convo again.

12, 15 and 25 for Vanica, Dante and Zenon :D
HELLL YEAHHHHH THE BITCHES LETS GOOO. HI CY :DDD
12. What's a Headcanon you have for this character?
Dante: He can't cook for SHIT. like as much as I love him (which is more then I will ever openly admit) bro can't make a sandwich or boil and egg so Vanica runs him out the kitchen with a wooden spoon. Also he can't drink. Homie is a lightweight and he hates that so much
Zenon: He really likes dancing! Though no one (except Allen) knows about it. Not even Vani and Dante. Plus he has a REALLY big sweet tooth, if their is a box of sweets in his field of vision he will leave nothing for the rest the siblings (this annoys Dante beyond belief )
Vanica: She is (somehow) a really great cook! She kicked Lucius out of cooking duty a month after she learned the basics. Dante has made the "Haha, your a woman and you cook" joke only once in his whole life because Vanica put rat poison in his food and uhhh it wasn't a nice experience. And she can sing too! Most of the time she acts like she can't just to annoy ppl
15. What's your favorite ship with this character? ( Doesn't matter if it's canon or not)
Dante: OHHHHHH BOYYYY UHHH. Sweet rat man, I love you (regrettably) but your ass is so fucking bitchless. The closest thing he has to a relationship is the fact that he is fuckbuddys with Lucifero, I won't count Yami x Dante as a ship bc it's literally just rat man being a weird ass mother fucker and getting his ass beat which is funny as shit. However I will say he is pansexual and he will get into a relationship with literally anything and anyone.
Zenon: There is only one correct answer. Allen x Zenon for LIFE. Because come on BC fandom that man is not attached to Wemon in any way, only thing he feels for them is fear bc of Vanica and his Mom. But moving on they are soulmate-coded and I will die on that, Golden retriever bf and Black cat bf
Vanica: Listen, all of Vanica ships are fucking soulmate coded ok??? (I'm dilulu shut UP) and I love them with my heart (except Vanica x Acier, not soulmate-coded but annoying cat x Tired mother of 4). I have three I would die for bc I am insane. 1) Vanica x Megicula and Vanica x Lolopechka really they give off SUCH old married couple energy I wanna DIE. 2) Vanica x Lolo x Gajah, it's the "We can fix her" mentality AND THEY SECSIDED THE MOTHER FUCKERS. They are very funny and funky but not everyone's cup of tea but it's ok.
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
Dante: My first impression was "OHHHH, he looks cool! (I also like the beard shot me) wonder what he can do" and now it's "Cring ass motherfucker pls stop being weird for the love of god (affectionately, I'm afraid), can you not have beef with an 18 year old?". Can you tell that I like him but wanna throw him of a clif?
Zenon: First impression "Emo boy, with a sad backstory incoming" I didn't care about bonehead at the start, I thought he had BANING magic but beyond that meh. And now "UHHH BABY BOY LIL WET CAT MAN BONE ASS IDIOT. can someone get this mans husband pls?" now I put him in my pocket and take him as far for house Zogratis as I can
Vanica: First impression "WEEEEEEE WEMON, IF HOT WHY EVIL???" I was uhh it was love at first sight honestly, same with Lolopechka so now I call them BOTH baby girls. Now "Oh baby- I would feel bad for what I put you through BUT I DONT SUFFER, then I wack her with the angst stick in almost all my Aus" really can you get more baby girl then Vanica? ( yes you can but SHUT up) she is both insane and has her mental health hanging on a thread, she really needs some tits to lean on and a tea to drink.
Thank you for the asks Cr!!
Asks for this are always open for any fandom I'm in!!

I was looking for helluva boss praise and i found a post of someone crying and pissing their pants over the wedding scene from Ex's and Ooh's, screaming about how it's internalized homophobia from the show because it "tries to make gay men seem predatory" by having Moxxie forced to marry Chaz in a dress with dildos all around
I guess their arguments kinda made sense, but they were looking WAY too deep into it and ignoring the context from the episode and show itself.
Firstly, Moxxie is clearly down to date a guy, he literally stated that he was bisexual in that same episode, he just happens to be in a relationship and the guy his dad is forcing him to marry fucked him over. The point of Crimson forcing Moxxie to marry Chaz isn't to make gay men seem predatory, its to further solidify that Crimson is a ruthless person who only cares about keeping money, power, and control over everyone around him. If Chaz was a woman, he would still make Moxxie marry him.
Second, the dildo and dress thing isn't meant to be a serious thing, oh my god. IT IS LITERALLY MEANT TO BE A JOKE ABOUT CRIMSON'S BIGOTRY. He thinks that all bi guys are gay and that all gay guys like to wear dresses and have dildos all over the place. The goddamn dildos wouldn't even be there if it weren't for Chaz complaining that the seats weren't full.
And why can't we let queer people in media be bad people? Why do they always have to be 100% perfect all the time? Let queer couples be shitty, don't put them on a pedestal. And just because Moxxie happens to have one of the healthiest relationships in the show with a woman does NOT mean anything! Stolas and Stella's relationship is worse than any queer couple's that appeared on the show.
I'm done talking now. It just amazes me the lengths people will go to demonize a show they don't like.
Has anyone told you how fucking right you are?
It would be homophobic if Moxxie was straight, or Chaz was the only mlm guy. But he's not.
Also Chaz acts that way towards everyone. He's a shark on the hunt for a lay. They would have a better chance arguing it's panphobia instead.
And sometimes representing toxic queer relationships is a good thing. For example, in Ted Lasso, spoiler alert, Keeley's ex girlfriend lovebombed her, was ashamed of their relationship in front of old friend, and then dumped her because she essentially didn't do what she wanted.
Granted I could tell that it wasn't going to last, and felt sad it soured so quickly, but that doesn't mean it's bad representation.
In fact it's good representation. I had a similar experience with my ex girlfriend. She kept me a secret from her parents (which, nothing wrong with not feeling safe to come out, but I myself was out and proud, so maybe a relationship where the first time in my life I had to hide my sexuality wasn't a good thing). She lovebombed me (though I don't think on purpose), and then dumped me over text during school, so I was sobbing in class.
Helluva Boss's and Hazbin Hotel's characters are a majority queer, something you don't see often. It's one of the reasons I love this show.
Also "demon" haha get it.

The Warp Effect Live Blogging
I've been obsessed with the idea of this show since I watched the freaking mock trailer like sooo long years ago (late 2021? early 2022? like 2 years ago bruh) and was so glad that people seemed to really like the actual show when it released, can't believe I'm finally watching it. I attempted to watch this once before but it was while I was taking a break at university and uh this is not a show I can watch in public, so I had to stop just a few minutes in and now I'm back like a year later.
Anyway, I better love it. I'm gonna lose my shit if it turns out like Be My Favourite for me (I love the mock trailer -> people love the show -> I finally watch the show and find it... fine).
Ep 1 (Apr 20)
Why am I so nervous, I almost don't wanna start it. see this is why I have so many highly praised show or shows I'm hoping to love like ITSAY and 3WBF still on my To Watch list
1-1
ah, the promise/purity ring of doom
oh he's a high school KID pls
ah, I'm so excited seeing this intro with the whole cast, I'm anticipating a lot of their roles
Is the one who found the bra his grandpa?
Alex and Ice brothers
I like their uniforms
Jan, hiiii <3 <3 <3 (name: Nim)
his face appeared on the news of the massage parlour burning ?!
hehe Nim and Jan are already dating
I'm so excited seeing Gigie and Fah and everybody ahh, it's actually been so long
Also I wish I'd watched TWE before I learned about how Fah's husband is a POS because now I'm like ah... by extension she is also a POS because you're literally marrying that man
I've been like damn why am I so excited to see all these people? I see them act all the time except no I don't because apparently I haven't watched a GMMTV show since Be My Favourite last year (other than OffGun 20 minute Love From Outta Space but that only has them). I just see some of them online, esp like FourthGemini and Phuwin. No wonder I'm like hiii~ to everybody I see pop up.
not the sex situation roleplay in front of the class. good on consent tho
i'm gonna have to relearn everybody's names later fr
Army the homophobic homosexual (actually does he like girls too fr? idk)
hah, Mark's character getting schooled for asking who tops and bottoms
not Army getting so into it T.T closeted kid... and then punching Alex oh boy
is Alex not underage or is that not like a concern bruh like even the teacher is so casual about it
free period product spiel
1-2
New and Fah (Alex and Jean) are so cute man. I'm so nervous that he... sexually assaulted her? or something nonconsensual?? like I don't remember what the issue was but he did something bad I think? it makes me so nervous because they wouldn't fucking made the main character in our sex-positive show a fucking assaulter right?
uh what does the grandfather know?
is this camera magic
I'm hungry, time for lunch, hope nothing super raunchy or gross happens while I'm eating
ah kiss
aw slap (foreshadowing for the future IMO *wink*)
1-3
hah the dildo scene
Fah you are so hot and so cool (or so I thought) why are you with your husband T.T
idk why I'm so happy seeing Alex and Jean getting it on like it's fun and it's exciting
Fah is so hot goddamn
1-4
ohhh Alex accidentally kind of saw Army with some guy (Joke?). Are both the bullies gay and hooking up? well he didn't recognize shit cuz he's drunk off his ass but yknow
he's no longer a virgin
dang, miss girl went straight into a pelvic exam. usually people like "wake up" in a different time or go from one room to another or smth lol
I have watched a couple time travel things but they've usually been to the past/deaged to teenagehood whereas this one is to the future.
Very fun 1st ep, interesting and fun and intriguing and also heart-felt.
Kinda funny that in the GMMTV subreddit on-air, people have mentioned how American it feelts (apparently a lot of the inspo for it is American which makes sense) but I have no clue about that because I haven't much American/western TV lol
Ep 2 (Apr 20)
2-1
Delightful Army who is no longer homophobic
Is this the same hospital as Vice Versa?
pls gooner See-ew
ahh, I was wondering if Ew would indeed no longer be Alex's friend
ahhh his relationship with family is now extremely distant too, I'm so curious about what happened
girl you're like 30 now, it makes sense that your grandfather might have passed away. but i do get that it's sudden and he must be like wtf i just saw him yesterday
oh also they're like Christian. the promise ring thing is in a church and there are crosses and stuff in their house too
I think I remember something about him having to fix his relationships or people he wronged or something and I guess these photos give a hint as to what?
Tumblr media
2-2
0:49 Ew (aka Sing who also plays Todd in Not Me) says "Are you challenging me?" but him saying it in Thai reminds me of him saying the same thing/a similar thing to Black as Todd when Black came to kill him
ohh these photos are from the future?
broken promise leading to this mess
heh, Alex really went wild that night at the party ig
Ah, indeed Alex kissed Molly (we saw this in 1-3 I think)
Alex, Kat fuck buddies
2-3
Gigie is so hot
pls the way I burst out laughing at him leaving the bathroom nearly naked
the change from shy/nervous -> eager and excited
also Kat's so funny cuz she gets angry and then is like ^.^ :D like the cat smiling emoji
pls the curse not letting him have sex even in the future
Joong hi, can't wait to see him be tied up in a chair (and whipped?)
"Thank you, master" ahhhh i'm so excited for Liu and Ew and puppyplay
i'm actually not a super big of the dog mask but it's all so cute omg >.< Master feeding her dog strawberries aww and then giving a little flog for being a bad doggie but being nice to him again awww so cuteeeee he's such a cute dog
Tumblr media
2-4
Army is so fun
so he did indeed get with Jean in between making out with other people
yay Jean director, her dream
and she's mad at him because he did smth but whattt
Ep 3 (Apr 21)
3-1
pls the way he has no doctor gyno knowledge T.T he's 17
I saw people guessing that Alex and Jean had sex that night -> Jean got pregnant -> Alex left/wanted nothing to do with that/she got an abortion and he gave no support/etc. which I think I would like more than my fears that he did something untoward
Jean and Kat convo ahh pretties and cuties i hope you are friends and don't hate each other later on
3-2
ik Ew is excited but I also want Liu to be more excited and eager and partaking in the sex toy shopping and kink play
aw she's embarrassed esp in public
okay exactly liu being like "i like it but not all the time. do you ever ask me what i actually like?"
ah her running into Jedi and Rose right in front of the store
does Alex even know how to drive
all i can think is Army's hands were probably on his dick or the other guy's dick and he's touching Alex all casually without washing hands
there's no photo of Ice but i guess he'd need to patch things up with his brother anyway
I think this is the first time I'm seeing Phuwin in a romantic role with somebody other than Pond?
Jan with a girl let's fucking go
tragic that this isn't gonna last bc Nim and this girl are cute together
3-3
Ah
I guess the best thing would've been to set up guidelines earlier in the relationship, like puppy play/BDSM is just One aspect of our relationship, not the whole thing. because it's been clear since ep 2 that Ew is more eager to play that way every time they see each other whereas Liu likes it to a lesser degree and also wants to hang out and be romantic outside of that play and also wants to be pampered sometimes rather than always domming him/taking care of him
agh it irritated me that Ew just turned on porn and got off but ig he uses it as a crutch maybe... i'm hoping it's that instead of a lack of care and affection toward Liu smh
I love Gigie's smile her sharp little incisors are extremely attractive
I'm glad Alex cut it off with Kat esp because in last ep it was mentioned that he's kind of being dishonest with her since he's not... exactly who he says he is
3-4
Oh, that's Ice's girlfriend Kim? Jean and her work together?
I loveee Jean's colour-block jacket
a little lesson on doing a pelvic exam for someone with a vagina
ah Alex and Jean in the same room again i'm so excited but nervous
I'm nervous For Jean bruv
you didn't do the cotton thing before inserting the speculum Alex
ah, they fr had sex that night
Ep 4 (Apr 21)
4-1
Army is so funny and endearing. i'd be curious to know his reaction when Alex finally tells him about the time travel
Are we getting Thor's character finally or not yet? anonymous face
oof Bew and Nim's future plans look pretty different
and the pregnant Nim photo is manifesting
bruh obviously Ew dresses up and plays a little dog lmfao
damn they're actually talking about puppy play
girl that's not Thor, that's a baby! I just remembered that I think I knew about this? about Fluke's character accidentally meeting up with an underage guy
pls 2005 liner (in 2022)
i am aware that playing football is an euphemism. is it for masturbation? just being horny?
I found out about Fluke Pusit's new BL which is apparently the fucking Your Dear Daddy that had me icked out from the title agh but like... I like him in this and wanna see him in a BL as a main lead so I might still check it out since the synopsis doesn't seem too bad. It'll still be many months perhaps over a year or two until it comes out though... not even a pilot trailer yet. will they get the budget and talent necessary for the show? Who knows...
4-2
Ah, Joe and Army also had a falling out and aren’t in contact, rip
I think it's Army's baby based on that one tiktok where Army and Nim are talking about the kid having gay and lesbian parents
non-binary Molly!!!!
i can’t quite tell how we’re supposed to feel about Joong’s character Tony tbh
ohh that’s how the Joong tied up in a chair by Sylvie scene comes to be, it’s part of their movie acting.
i watched the first few minutes of this on the train lol
Damn, what's up with Jean :< is it really just bad cramps or something serious?
4-3
pls Ice's friends are losers (or maybe just that specific dude)
oh the moaning while Ice and Kim are having sex threw me off
did Kim even have fun? USELESS
okay she's saying she had fun, though I wish she seemed more into it while they were actually doing the act. Orgasms aren't always necessary but it should still be fun
Kim is so fucking hot bruh
"Let's do it raw" well i'm so glad it was Phuwin playing Ice and not me bc I would've embarrassed myself on that set
ah, Army can still think fondly of his time hooking up with Joe and get off to it lol
Anyway, at least it seemed like Kim was gonna have more fun in round 2 but i want that for her every time they have sex
4-4
Kat and Jean on one screen is always so heart eyes
Army, what are you apologizing forrrr
pouty Army is so cute bruh
pls the argument while Army's jacking Joe off
the handjob that leads to forgiveness
well I'm glad they didn't get caught cuz I was nervous lol
The people I find incredibly attractive in this show are: Jean, Kat, Kim, and Army lmfao
Ep 5 (Apr 21/22)
5-1
Army reminiscing about the high school days when he and Joe hooked up lol
ah, Army has the photo he took of Alex and it shows Alex in the future in a doctor coat
hilarious that Alex is just a good, knowledgable gyno now lmfao
finally Army learns about the time travel
oof, Alex running into Kat and Jean at the club
the way he leaned over Jean freaked me out fr
correct that you can revoke consent at any time etc but maybe also say that if you're gonna bring a random person home from the bar, be clear about expectations before leaving the bar/coming home
5-2
he can't even get off when he masturbates?
Ew's animosity toward Army lol
Mollie lead role!
idkkkk Nim doesn't seem to be want to be pregnant and doesn't seem to like kids, I don't want her to have a baby when she doesn't want one
ouch, Mollie-Nim-Bew meet
the pilot guy is sleazy, Kat run away
5-3
wait we're not doing any more puppy play? :( did Liu really not like it at all?
Aghh we're only doing extremes of puppy play every time y'all meet vs no puppy play ever... what about a happy middle?
Ouchhh the public humiliation and body shaming, this is the hardest storyline in the show to watch for me so far
5-4
yay mollie
ohhh the photo of mollie changed cuz they overcame their problem ig? w alex's help once the photo happened
Kinda surreal to watch Molly be played by Sylvie who is attractive and, despite not being stick thin, also not fat
I barely watched anything on the 22nd and yesterday the 23rd was all about GMMTV 2024 Part 2, so I'm Finally starting the next ep today
Ep 6 (Apr 24)
6-1
Okay I got too nervous waiting to watch what Alex did so I read in the comments that he didn't use a condom because he was so drunk. It's terrible but I feel better knowing what it was that he did before seeing it
eughhh they're so drunk
oh ew that's... horrifying. to have her actually say wait and stop multiple times while he... doesn't
that's actually fucked fr
the look of horror and realizing on Jean's face and then the tear...
why is Alex fucking smiling?! how dare he
aw shucks everybody gonna know and the rumours are getting bigger
not Alex just going with Jedi while leaving Ew behind
Incredible that this guy who traumatized Jean is now just at the top of the school pyramid I actually can't believe my worst fears were real and Alex ignored Jean's multiple attempts to push him off while she says stop
6-2
the Jean and Molly convo is interesting. I understand Jean more because you can't just go around kissing people while in a monogamous relationship just to check if you're into it or not but I understand that Molly's also unsure of what they actually like, especially because it seems like they were probably grappling with being nonbinary back then and haven't yet chosen that term for themselves yet
I think breaking up is the right thing to do in this situation
Kat dropping big hints that she knows Army likes boys lol at least she's breaking up with him easy
Army has armpit hair which is normal but rare in EA/SEA shows it feels like? idols are clean shaven/lasered
Army's so annoying lol conceited but a cutie so I can't even disagree
conflicted because hah gay locker room handy is fun but also... part 1 sex was horrific
oh naur they're gonna get caught?
noooooo Army throws Joe under the bus?!
6-3
nosy ass grandpa
Ice is 13? lmfao. so he's 23 in the future ig
we should kill Alex first not stopping when Jean told him to and now abondoning Ew at Army's suggestion
heh Ew liked the slap
oh In Love by Gamma Skies, I think this was in a Bad Buddy playlist but I couldn't remember it being used in the actual show
Kat and Jean smoking in the balcony aghh I want at least 1 kiss between them plsplspls (but not right now when Jean is just newly traumatized :()
agh Jean labeled as a slut for sleeping with Alex (and dancing on the table in her bra) while Alex becomes the top dog for presumed to sleep with 3 girls (+ kiss Army lol)
6-4
I read the comments first because I know apparently Jean's photos in her bra from that party are gonna be plastered on the wall and aghh... Alex is gonna be useless and treated well while Jean is gonna be called an attention seaker and also suspended ?! and people in the comments were saying people shouldn't say that Alex did nothing wrong, how the fuck are there comments saying he didn't do anything wrong omg??!!
punishment for WHAT?!
Jean isn't quite yelling at Alex for the things she wants to yell at him about so I guess that's why the comments that apparently defended him may have thought she was treating him unfairly but it's like... it's hard to say you might not fucking remember but you didn't use a condom and didn't fucking listen to me while i told you to stop repeatedly you jackass and now they're all ruining my life
this fucking Alex/Jean montage i'm so mad T.T
and Army needs a fucking punch too
Alex is soooo aghhhh why is he literally going to Jean's house (!!!) and saying sorry but also repeatedly being like "Can you forgive me?" like girl wtf how can you expect forgiveness this easily by saying it was your fault a decade later smhh
ahhh horrible. good episode in the sense that it's well-crafted and makes sense but truly what the fuck
I get that Alex was drunk and so ignored Jean while we assume he wouldn't have done that if he wasn't drunk but truly... what the fuck? Being drunk doesn't mean you get a free get out of jail card to violate consent. The show nor the audience seem to use the word rape but that's what it was, right? I don't want them to get back together in the end man...
And also the Army-Joe thing... idk, throwing Joe under the bus...
Also I think I won't look at warp effect tumblr posts anymore... idk, I kinda don't care to read about people's thoughts on it because it's already tiring to watch the show, much less read people's thoughts on it. Might seek out specific gifsets if I really want one though.
Ep 7 (Apr 25)
7-1
lol everybody having fun while Alex can't orgasm
Liu's boss... ew
Rose and Jedi are cute heh
plss not Jedi being one of the men who wants their gf/wife to go open relationship but then is jealous she's is getting more partners and having fun and such
I'm glad we get kissing and sex with with Jedi and Rose because I swear so many times when trans actresses are cast, they either get no romance or very chaste romance with hugs at most
aw shucks, I'm guessing Jedi's dick hurting is gonna lead to the hospital visit in Alex's photo
7-2
oh also, ig I didn't think about the fact that Nim would have to marry whoever she has a kid with?
heh quick decision to have a freaking child
I'm also not sure Nim having a child is even the right decision
New looks soo attractive in the bar scene
I love Alex trying to mend the relationship with Ice
ewwww not Captain asking Kat to be his gf in public with flowers and such. It puts pressure on the one being asked, I hateeee it when people ask such questions in public and then the asker might get angry at being humiliated. I'm glad Kat stood her ground but I'm afraid he's gonna retaliate, esp since he's a pilot where she is a flight attendant
7-3
It makes me so nervous fr when they do anything in public
oh crazy, we're having the not orgasming talk but for a gay couple this time
a little PSA about positions
omg Joe is a side? doesn't like penetration possibly? because he liked the handjobs
Joong's character and Jean are cute man, idk I hope he's not sleazy
ah, Molly and Nim scenes once again
aw man Ew is going to meet the bunny domme
it's cute how excited he is but helloo you're meeting a woman behind our gf's back + camera?!
oh no he's wearing the outfit he gets arrested in
ah cops
you can get arrested for creating porn in thailand?
7-4
Ew begging Liu to stay is still more about himself and how she's the only one who understands him and gave him a chance rather than about her. But the story gets that I think because Liu says that in their relationship she has tried to be what's needed for Ew but Ew hasn't done the same.
ah shit not the captain beating up Kat, that fucker
Ep 8 (Apr 25)
8-1
poor Kat
aww Jean and Kat <3
girl, imagine if you had indeed accepted him, he's a fucking asshole, you'd be in a mess either way
yesss you two should date
I don't even know how to feel at Jean and Alex conversations, like it's not cool or chill dude, just shut upp
In the ep 7 r/gmmtv on-air, somebody mentioned that maybe... Army sleeps with another guy/cheats on Joe (esp if they're not on the same page sexually) and that's why it's a polaroid with the other guy's identity hidden? made me sooo nervous, I don't want that to be true plsss I just thought it'd be because Joe is closeted and so we can't see his face
plsss not Army's rant to Alex about Joe not bottoming
ah, Kim is pregnant and I'm guessing Nim is/will be too. I hope one of them gets an abortion for the storyline here
bruh, Bew was flighty from the jump but also Nim really shouldn't have gotten IVF done so quickly and easily with little though
bruh fuck Bew
8-2
plsss Alex going to Joe to talk about his and Army's sex life is sending me fr
side Joe! and they're fr talking about it!
Ah, Mollie and Nim :(
I really hope Kim ends up having an abortion. She and Ice can make another baby in the future when they're older and more stable and ready
Aw, Ice is sweet but I still don't think they should have a baby when neither is ready
Alex randomly there to help Kat lol
damn, Captain got put in jail, that's good
8-3
I hope Tony's just a nice, regular guy
pls Army being like yep my partner is soo satisfied with my performance to his patient
lol multi-activity full package outercourse
uh... is Kat developing feelings for Alex/I thought she had feelings for a while tbh
oh, Alex talking about Jean in his sleep rip
I hope Jean and Kat don't become enemies, that's my only wish
8-4
I love Joe and Army so bad wtf
Kat and Army's photos now fixed
Ep 9 (Apr 26)
9-1
okay Jedi mentioned always using protection
oof, not them fighting over the HPV
Rose is trans and didn't have bottom surgery so how tf did they have sex so easily in the kitchen that one time lmfao
pls not Ice singing about their child in this club setting
Kim shouldn't be drinking but Ice shouldn't be picking fights with strangers like that and escalating situations either
okay finally abortion mention
Ice let go of your fucking pride for like one second
9-2
hehe Sylvie and Joong scenes
not both Mollie and Jean falling for Tony's charms
okay Alex giving Ice good advice about supporting Kim's decision for an abortion. I wish somebody would also mention that they can just... have a child a couple years down the line
i wonder where we're going with the HPV storyline?
9-3
stop meeting at Joe's workplace I beg
STOP YELLING !!!
why is that man taking a video aghhhh Armyyyy i'm gonna kill you and also that man
ah, Nim and Molliee
ohh Nim's photo went back
not the flight attendant roleplay plss
I'm dying at Rose and Jedi's relationship where they're in an open relationship and flirt with people but never sleep with any of them even though the other one thinks they do lmfao
okay glad Kat didn't just get over Captain's assault and that it still affects her. but she's not portrayed as week for still being affected because it's literally such a big thing
Jedi and Rose are sooooo cute what the hell
not the scent callback
Jedi/Rose cutiesss
9-4
omg Kat and Tony?
Tony is suchhh a flirt that it's fun to see him be taken back by Kat's extremely forward pursuit
so is Tony... supposed to be just a nice, normal guy fr? I hope he is
Rose and Jedi are actually so cute like I'm dead
okay so it's stronger and stronger hinting that Jean was indeed pregnant after that party
oh no, Liu and her fuckass boss creep next ep
I liked how cute Jedi and Rose were but I feel like why introduce the open relationship aspect at all then? Like if they needed to have it, they could've treated it with more nuance and have them actually participate in the open part of their relationship. idk i was like, the lesson isn't that "people in love can't do open relationships" right?
Ep 10 (Apr 26)
10-1
director and main actor dating? and also Tony asking her in public like this too? Captain flashbacks smh
girl, dancing?! omg why is this too much for me, too much public stuff
let's kill Liu's boss
aghhh, they found out about Joe being gay
10-2
Alex barging in and confronting the boss like that in front of everybody. I hate these men's need to publicly "defend" women and confront/fight men without actually asking the women they're defending what they want because this has consequences
had to work really hard to get into the comedy mindset for this sexual harassment storyline because usually... the serious topics are treated serious idk
pussy eating, let's go
oof, Mollie and Nim fight once again
I get Joe so much and it frustrated me that Army doesn't quite understand how much trauma Joe has because of his actions (similar to his bff Alex in that way who just jokes around with Jean as if he didn't fucking rape her)
and what about the puppy play? we doing that still? cuz idk if Ew can do with it?
Ah, Jean and Kat convo about Alex. I'm glad it wasn't messy
10-3
oof, no Kim, you did the right thing
there is no need to feel bad for Ice because he can have a baby couple years down the line if he still wants it after he's more settled
okay he finally mentioned that they can have a kid when they're ready
erotic foot massage, loll yas (+ a little servant roleplay?)
i'm so glad they're communicating, never been so happy to see erotic foot massage and puppy play
omg Jedi proposing (and this time the public proposal feels okay like it doesn't feel like pressuring Rose)
Jedi and Rose are sooo cute. maybe the fact that they have the least screentime & so the least conflict helps with that
10-4
I'm nervous
ooh, a Tony and Jean kiss
this is so fucked uppp, my poor Jean T.T
glad Tony turned out to be actually decent
Once again, I'm hoping Alex/Jean isn't endgame
polaroid photo of Alex's mother and Teacher Saran?
Watched most of this at 1.25x speed tbh
Ep 11 (Apr 26)
I'm really enjoying the show but I must be honest... I'm also kind of dreading it and just want to be done... The Alex & Jean is honestly A Lot for me and idk if they can handle it well and I'm not looking forward to Joe-Army and Mollie-Nim's conflicts either. I kinda wanna just knock out the last 2 episodes by tonight though because I just wanna be doneee
It'll be 1.25x speed for the rest of the show I think. I managed to watch the first 9 episodes at regular speed though
11-1
Ah, Alex's bio dad is actually their gym/sex-ed teacher
damn, we're going so fast with this storyline
dang, more than his mother, his father was the reason for the time travel with the camera gift
Tony and Kat could be cute
pls not the "what if I get dragged by your fans" mentioned
I get that Nim shouldn't have been so callous with Mollie by saying they can be friends but Nim literally had 1) Mollie kiss another boy while they dated and 2) had Bew walk out her while pregnant. I feel like her not opening up or easily trusting Mollie to be a good partner and parent makes sense
Mollie could've just said the stuff nicely as a confession instead of a fight
11-2
let's go Joe (incredibly easy fix for something serious though lol)
I don't get the point of the kicking crossbar thing but sure, ig Joe and Army have made up
girl okay wtf is this promposal from Alex to Jean, idkkkk I'm just not into it
glad Jean didn't say yes
11-3
aw, Jedi/Rose wedding
Army-Joe dance too, Joe overcoming his shyness
no way Ew is proposing right here smh
Tony and Kat are cute too, even if it's all going fast cuz the show's ending ig
I want Jean to be able to speak to somebody openly and honestly about being raped by Alex (like that's literally what it was), whether it be a therapist, a close friend, fucking confronting Alex, idc but it feels like Alex doesn't even give it the weight it deserves, idk
Alex requesting for Jean to get back with him like literally why bro just let the girl be, I beg
11-4
literally, like just let her live her life instead of fucking inserting yourself so boldly, and often so jokingly. i get that you wanna fucking climax and also go back to the future but it's so frustrating to have him want to get back with her romantically out of selfish desire instead of at least helping her altruistically
This is so devastating, I don't fucking want them together fr
omg, her telling him to go back to the past
I guess he's gonna go back in time and do things differently. I'm just glad that in this scenario with how things have played out, in this timeline how original Alex lived, Jean can't forgive him or get together with him. So I'm partially getting what I wanted.
Also interesting parallel with Alex's father who Alex is now refusing to give a second chance, to come into his life, because he fucked up big time as well and there's just no coming back from that to suddenly be a good dad or being involved with Alex's life.
Also, people in the YT comments or on reddit who are acting like "ohhh Alex didn't know, he can't be held accountable for that night/for not knowing about the pregnancy, Jean should've told him yada yada", fuck you like actually. She was a young woman who was raped by somebody she deeply trusted (idc that he was young and drunk and it was "unintentional" - doesn't undo what he did), then ostracized by the school while he was put on a padastal (and left his other friends to follow his popularity), then suspended, then found out she was pregnant at a time when abortion was illegal. It makes plenty of fucking sense to me that she didn't go and tell Alex what happened. It's not even like she was doing anything to Alex in the current timeline, he's the one who keeps inserting himself into her life and pursing her romantically despite her saying no multiple times (parallels?).
Ep 12 (Apr 26)
I don't really feel like watching this ep but I will because I just wanna be done bruh
1.5x speed idc
12-1
please Alex going around and being elated toward Grandpa and Ice who are like ?? lol
omg this is so funny as he gives everybody the advice they need 10 years in the future
12-2
bro there is noooo way they're gonna give Jean's iconic dildo defense rant to fucking Alex
bro you just went on a time travelling mission that taught you about your mistakes when you were drunk this night at this party, c'mon don't drink bruh
12-3
not the Liu-Ew and Jedi-Rose making out competition
Joe-Army have had more sex in public places than in private in every timeline
12-4
pls not the time jump again when he orgasms
Honestly, a pretty fun end and kind of makes me less upset at the other stuff. Like I'm still intellectually upset at it when I think about it, but I'm on a high from the fun stuff, so it doesn't feel as terrible as when I finished ep 11.
Overall:
A unique and enjoyable show, it was so fun to see all these characters in their specific situations and how they deal with them. The characters were all compelling, it's wild how I was into all their storylines. how charming each character/their story was, and how the story juggled them. It also made me see a bunch of actors in new lights, New most of all, as they acted in a role outside of their usual wheelhouse.
I think the most frustrating part for me was how it seemed like although they were getting at it, they never quite acknowledged that what Alex did to Jean that night was rape. It made me quite angry actually, especially how Alex's actions didn't feel like it actually took Jean's feelings and trauma and requests into account. I was at least glad that in that timeline, Jean doesn't get back with Alex.
Rating: 7/10

hi do you have Krillin relationship headcanons? canon or otherwise? 👀👀👀👀
I will be honest with you, anon. I don't often think on it these days. HOWEVER!!!! for you, I have,,,, formulated a response i think mostly encapsulates my feelings on the matter.
Krillin is, by far, the most lovable character of all of dragon ball. objectively, even. He is cute, nice, and very self-sacrificing. Every one of his friends has probably seen this trait and agreed that krillin is worth protecting and loving. etc etc.
That being said!!!!! i think krillin inserts veeerry nicely with very many ships, most being non-canon, obvi. The only krillin ships i actively ship are k18, a lil sprinkle of gokrill, and some latenight thoughts of bulkrill (?) bulma and krillin. whatever their shipname is.
that being said, krillin is one of those characters that when i see crackships and such with him its more like a pleasant surprise because he's usually overlooked. i think he deserves some crackship au fics and fanarts sometimes....
anyways. getting into it. here are some thoughts i have... and some ship stuff.
Krillin's love languages are probably acts of service and physical touch. When he receives an act of service, he is so deeply touched to the bottom of his heart that he probably cant help but feel a little indebted, no matter how that gift or service was intended.
on that note, he is just genuinely kind, so he will give out services out of the kindness of his heart. when others see that genuine kindness, that is what pulls them in.
he is not immune to bickering and playing and fighting. teasing back and forth is in his nature, no matter if he ends up the butt of a joke LMAO. i don't think he really minds.
Goku
goku is someone he met as a young teen and they bonded after a brief rivalry while studying under the same master, and they became quick best friends after experiencing the same hardships in their training. this is literally the setup to every #1 shounen m/m ship I've seen. literally. rivals to best friends to lovers is IT for everyone ever. i think people should take a gander at og db and really get a wholesome view of the trope. because krillin and goku both have so much kindness to go around its just them bouncing off encouragement and some dumbassery back and forth.
Bulma
bulma is another early teens friend, and they have truly been on many adventures together. I think the filler in namek saga kinda turned me off from it a bit, but without all of that, i really just think about how they were able to spend so much time together in an enclosed space and not kill each other? i think some married couples cant do that. they would make a good duo in that sense for sure.
it helps that they have a VERY established dynamic of bulma taking the lead and krillin following and helping, and taking action where necessary. they have a long history together and know when to defer to the other, yahknow?
18
well,, k18 is canon and it gives us a pretty solid amount of information about their dynamic as a couple that i really like. 18 fell in love with krillin's kindness, and krillin opened his heart to a former enemy and gave them a home and a place to belong. genuinely you cant tell me this isn't the best canon ship in dragon ball. i wont believe it and i wont trust any of your opinions if you don't think they're objectively the best least toxic family unit.
one of my silly little headcanons is that they actually had a lot of trouble conceiving, so they cherish little marron like she is the whole world. because she is, as all parents should, but when you spend years trying for a baby and finally get some fruit,,, idk its a little different.
honorable mention: yamcha
that moment in the saiyan saga, when yamcha lies down his life because krillin has already died previously... that is so huge to me.
thank you for asking, anon! sorry for this long, drawn out, rambly..... etc! answer. i hope you enjoy at least some of it LOLLL

background.
nellie grew up in a lower class family. there were more mouths to feed than her family could afford. however, her parents were close to averley's. nellie soon befriended one of their daughters, lucy. her family was somewhat better off than nellie's.
a festering jealousy began forming at a young age. she was envious of lucy's close family and how much better off she was.
this continued as the girls grew up. while lucy grew into a beautiful and graceful young lady, nellie was awkward and fall and unappealing. lucy didn't have to worry about fetching a husband. she could have anyone. nellie did have to worry. she was twenty-three with no husband in sight and a burden on her family.
eventually nelloe met albert lovett at the fish market. the couple did not love each other, but they got on well. albert soon proposed. she accepted. her nicest dress was brown, as if she were a widow getting remarried. lucy was one of her bridesmaids and snuck some rogue onto her cheeks and lips and nellie almost looked pretty.
albert moved them to fleet street. he liked her baking. his mother used to run a pie shop which albert took over and nellie soon became "head chef" of. they had moderate success. to earn a little extra on the side, they began renting the room out over the shop.
that was when he moved in.
benjamin barker. the barber with his brown hair and bright eyes. suddenly, nellie was no so thankful she found a man to settle down with. she wish she waited for mr. barker upstairs. she laughed at each one of his puns and he did the same with her. they were meant for each other, nellie realized. but it couldn’t be until after albert passed that they could be married.
mr. barker was invited to a dance one night. he came home whistling. albert complained. nellie fawned. he told nellie in the morning that he met someone. the girl that he knew he was going to marry. nellie’s whole world crumpled in that moment. whoever this girl was that was taking mr. barker from her, nellie hated her.
she didn’t actually meet the soon-to-be mrs. barker until after the couple was engaged. then, as nellie was hunched over a slab of dough, she heard her name called. upon turning around, she saw her. lucy averley. her best friend. her jealousy. nellie hated her.
lucy asked her to be her maid of honor. maid of honor! that was an even higher ranking than bridesmaid. but nellie stared at her yellow hair, her green eyes, her pale face, the ring on her slender finger … she said no. nellie never wanted to be apart of her life. never wanted lucy at all. obviously hurt, lucy stopped calling her by her first name. it was as if they had never been friends.
at mr. barker’s invitation, the lovetts attended the wedding. they left before the brunch. lucy moved into mr. barker’s apartment. a year into their marriage, the barkers announced they were having a baby. when johanna came into the world, albert complained about the fuss and all the crying. nellie didn’t care. jealousy took control of her. she sat albert down and told him she wanted a baby. they made a few attempts. that ended in sighs, a few tears, and blood. nellie would never get that baby that she wanted so desperately to prove mrs. barker wrong.
then mr. barker was arrested. mrs. barker disappeared one night and returned with a bottle of poison. nellie barely understood what happened, but she had the gist of it. mrs. barker went mad. johanna cried. the judge came back & took the remaining barker women away.
it was just her and albert. until albert’s leg gave out with gout. until albert died one morning.
nellie rolled up her sleeves and continued on. her business was failing. taxes went unpaid.
when benjamin barker returned. not exactly the same man he was before. he was sweeney todd now. but nellie liked sweeney todd even more. he wanted his revenge, she needed her business to improve. plans were made.
she took in a small boy called toby. loved him like the child she never had. she made a new life for mr. todd, a new family. yet he never looked her way. he only moped around the shop. pining for lucy. nellie understood why he wanted to get johanna back, but in time, she started to hate johanna, too. she was too much like lucy. too much of a distraction. mr. todd had her now. her and toby. it was the new life.
his mrs. barker was still alive, although nellie told mr. todd she swallowed poison. it wasn't really a lie, now, was it? the night the mr. todd finally got his revenge on the judge, was the night he found out the beggar woman was his lucy. in his rage, mr. todd told nellie that he loved her. she was not a stupid woman, but she danced with him. until she was thrown in the oven and burned to death.

Hey I was wondering if you could do a fic or some headcannons of any character with a Hispanic reader teaching them more about their culture and meeting their parents? Idk it’s something special for Hispanic heritage month<3 (ofc you don’t have to do it if you don’t wanna)
Okay but I would love to do that!!! Love this !!! thank you anon for sending this in. Buckle up y’all cause this is gonna be headcannons for the Evans and they are gonna be hella long!!! (Also feel free to send in more x Hispanic reader requests for any character ) I also have a Peter x Hispanic reader in the works
The Evans with a Hispanic/ Latinx Reader (GN)
Tate
- literally in love with you
- gets really into the telenovelas but won’t ever admit it to you
- would be so nervous to meet your parents for multiple reasons (one being cause he was a literal ghost)
- when you met him you like did the sign of the cross and tried all those old tricks to free his spirit
- he was very amused
- I feel like your parents wouldn’t like him too much, they don’t like his energy
- it’s crushes him but he acts like he doesn’t care
- you still date him and tell him he doesn’t need their approval
- would love to hear about your culture especially all the ghost stories and superstitions
Kit
- fascinated with the low rider community
- literally wants to learn about all of them so you take him to meet up so he can talk to the mechanics behind it
- they make a lot of jokes about him calling him gringo and asking why this white man is here but he just laughs with them
- they actually all take a liking to him and how accepting he is
- he gets invited to all future meetups and helps work on some of the cars
- loves to learn cumbias and dances with you
- always twirling you around the kitchen
- your parents liked him well enough, thought he was polite but worried about how he would support you
- but after seeing how much he loved and respected you they were sold on him
- if you speak Spanish he’ll try to learn a couple phrases for you
Kyle
- wants to learn everything about you and your culture if you wanna share it with him
- always willing to listen your opinions when it comes to Hispanic/Latinx representation in media
- loves to watch telenovelas and will get huffy if you watch them without him
- he’ll gasp at the perfect times too and get really invested
- likes it when you sing Spanish lullabies to him, cradling him in your arms as you play with his hair
- he was so nervous to meet your parents, practiced what he was going to say about a million times
- probably had his friends pose as mock parents and have them reject him so he’d be prepared for the worst
- but your parents love him. Literally think he’s so ambitious and a perfect gentleman.
- They immediately asked when you two were getting married
Jimmy
- loves all the music, literally always humming a Juan Gabriel song or a Richie Valens song
- obsessed with Selena, has a poster of her in his cavern
- he bought it after you introduced him to her. When he hears dreaming of you tho all he can think about is you. Especially when you aren’t there and all he wants to do is hold you in his arms
- Was scared of meeting your parents, put it off for as long as possible.
- he knew you’re parents didn’t think anybody was good enough for you and he was sure they’d hate him too
- wore his gloves when y’all went, trying his best to seem respectable
- your parents were still wary of him tho, making it clear that they didn’t like that he was in a freak show. Didn’t think that life was for their kid
- you stand up for him and yourself and jimmy has never been more proud in his life
- tells you how much he loves you the entire ride home
- Loves when you rub vapor rub on his chest after a long day
- Loves all the candies from the mercados, like the peanut patties
James
- charmed by absolute everything about you
- was a little of ignorant when your first met him, his era imposing a very stereotypical view of you and your culture
- you help to teach him about your culture and break him out of that mindset
- he wants to learn and change for you and as time passes he does. Kills anyone who even says anything remotely racist to you 
- Like kit he is very into dancing your traditional dances with you
-probably rehearses it to perfection and puts on a recital for the whole hotel to watch
- fascinated with the concept of death in your culture
- Loves the fashion of it all 
- You introduce him to Raul Julia movies and he’s just starring at the screen like why am I in this movie???
Colin
- Will try and cook your favorite dishes for you but it’s a pain to get him to try it
- He’s a little put off by all the flavors but for you he will try it all
- He cannot handle the heat, anything that has even a hint of spice he will be dying. He tires to play it cool and be like that was good but the minute you excuse yourself he’s gulping milk down by the gallon
- Loves pan dulce, always has one with his coffee
- Loves to go to the markets with you and shop around for local ingredients
- You give him a little cross to wear and he never takes it off, always around his neck
- Will go to church with you every Sunday if you want, like you did as a kid
- If you get married he will be all for that traditional wedding, wanting you to embrace your culture as much as you want
- The family makes fun of him in Spanish and you have to stop youtrself from laughing with them
- Your parents like him but they think he’s a little goofy
- He was so flustered when he met them but in the end it all worked out. 
Warren
- Loves all of your traditions, he has so much fun learning them with you
- Adores abuileta hot chocolate, it won’t even be cold and he’s drinking it all day long
- Unlike Colin he can handle the spice, will do challenges with your family to see who can eat the spiciest tamales or just straight up eat a jalapeno
- If anyone tries to make fun of you he will fight them, yelling about how ignorant they are and how he will kick their ass back to Europe if they keep talking like that. 
- He someone is best friends with your grandparents, always offering to help and charming them 
- You are amazed and how he had them wrapped around his finger, watching as they pinch his cheeks and call him handsome in English and Spanish
- Your parents aren't too fond of him and don’t like that his parents are divorced but your grandparents just shush them and say that he’s perfect

acting aus are one my favorite aus for animes, especially when ppl draw them and add little dialogue. i love seeing who they've related to who, the little relationships between actors and how different or similar their characters are to the persona the artists have created them to be. and the explanations they give to whatever random scene has happened in the anime. it's so fun!
in my aot acting au that i'll never draw bc i can't draw for shit, connie and sasha are actually twins irl, and they're disgusted when ppl ship their characters
"EW! gross, connie and sasha are never getting together!"
"i will literally quit if they do"
it was their idea to include the "she was like my twin" for s4 and connie actually cried when he saw sasha looking so dead.
"it's so realistic. why isn't she moving? move you bitch, say smth!"
"aw, con, don't cry! i'm perfectly fine, see?"
historia and armin are also twins, and they've done each other's stunts and been each other's doubles many times. they always laugh when ppl that didn't know they were siblings say that their characters really could pass as twins.
historia and ymir are also dating irl, that's a couple in and out of the show, i refuse to accept any other options. and the chaotic trio is a chaotic foursome bc marco might be dead but he's still around as director intern (idk if that's a thing) and as an extra, so the fandom is always analyzing the scenes to see if they can find him around
eren and jean are those actors that can never keep the spoilers to themselves and they play fight and chastise each other in every interview, having levi, hange, and erwin as the actual adults that keep them in line. they're great friends outside of it
the younger cast actually calls erwin and levi their dads, they're married, and the levi squad (both dead and alive) talk about levi calling him captain
"oh yeah, and in that one scene, capt'n had to...."
"i remember captain was so mad, you've no idea, he went to get dad..."
the adults are laughing the younger ones of, joking around and calling them by their last names from time to time. they're a big family. hange's the wine aunt, and she has the enthusiasm of her character. she's pulled pranks with the chaotic foursome before
annie is so sweet irl, and very talkative, nothing to do with her character (picture rosa from b99 and stephanie. completely different. it's exactly the same), and the warriors, especially reiner, like to make fun of that.
speaking of, reiner is very similar to his character, but the one before we know he's the armor titan. he's a good guy, fun to talk to and everyone likes to say he's the big brother of the group. he has also done a meme audio ppl use on tiktok similar to the one with sheldon that goes "mom's smokes in the car. jesus is okay with it but we can't tell dad.; no, no that secret, the other secret.; i'm batman!; dammit sheldon!", but his is:
"annie is gay. zeke is okay with it but we can't tell bert"
"no, not that secret, the other secret"
"i'm the armor titan!"
"dammit, reiner!"
armin, eren and him have also done the tiktok with the "so you're eren and you're... woah, who's this babe you're with, jaeger?" sound
mikasa is also different to her character, but it's not as shoking as annie's is, bc she's a little shy too. but interviews with her are very fun to watch bc she'll play any game they propose and gets very into it. she does this little dance every time she does smth right. the cast's snap and insta stories are full of random videos of her being cute. they have compilations on the youtube channel
they have a youtube channel, yes. and they do fun videos while shooting and out of it, bc they do a lot of get togethers. sometimes they'll even go on holiday and make vlogs out of it. all the pranks they pull, the challenges and even the "tea time with your favorite sets of twins ft. whoever joins them that day", where both sets of twins tell you what's up with the cast, and what they're allowed to tell you about the new season or movie or oda. these are the fans favorite videos and they're updated every two weeks, with an special each time they wrap. jean, eren, reiner and bert tried to do a parody to it once "telling you what's up with da bois", where they sat at a couch and acted dumb about what was going on on the show and trash talked the whole cast
"ye, so i'm the armor titan and-"
"wait. hold on. i thought bert was the attack titan"
"no, you idiot! i'm the attack titan. those two are just fillers. duh"
while in quarantine, the channel was updated so much. whether it was bc they were bored and needed to do smth in their houses, or lives, or two min videos, really any kind of bs they could think of went to the yt channel. some live together, and others in the same building so they were like "shopping trip to the store a block down, with porco and zeke!" and they walked five feet apart from the other, shouting to talk between themselves while eren filmed them from the jaeger apartment for insta, wheezing and calling them fools (these two aren't actually brothers, they just took the joke very far and now that they live together the apartment is called "the Jaeger cell)). even the levi and erwin did a video: "a day in quarantine with your aot dads. ps.: yw, sasha and connie"
annie and mikasa share an apartment and the fans are always saying they're dating (which i will not confirm nor deny) and they want them to do a house tour, but they're yet to fulfill their desires
behind the scenes are always hilarious bc the titans have to wear this huge ass heads and sometimes something else on their shoulders (like reiner and zeke) and they're walkking on these miniature versions of the towns, looking like godzilla. the fans haven't figured out how that looks good on the screen yet. there's make-up sessions for the "after titan state" and ymir and armin are always talking about whatever shenanigan comes up to their mind those mornings. conspiracy theories are born there. table runs with pieck and porco switching ppl's papers, talking when they're not supposed to. jean going along with marco to hide in the crowd of extras sometimes, bringing a camera with them and trying to pull a got placing stuff randomly to see if they catch them.
"let's hide it here!"
"no bro, that's too obvious, this is an elephant plushie. if they don't find this i'm losing all faith in them"
catch the fans replying to them "bro? wdym bro? jean, you're going to break your bf's heart!"
niccolo's food really is delicious, and as soon as they say "cut!", they're fighting for it. once they had to retake one so many times, they ended up full.
and I KNOW gabi's hated, but she's a really funny and sweet girl irl, and she's gotten hate, the poor thing so the others had to intervene and say some things, bc we love our kids' cast
and that's all i've got for now
also magazines ft the aot cast are some of the hottest magazines out there, along with the jjk cast and hq

What if og!Penelope had a secret lover that no one knew about? I've seen a couple of manhwas where they literally add in a new character that originally never existed in the original plot. That way Penelope wouldn't have get with any of the male leads to get a "happy ending". But how would they met? How did they know each other before they got together? Is her lover someone in the duchy or outside? How long will they last before Penelope's family find out that she's in a relationship? And will he help her escape the duchy?
Honestly the possibilities is endless. BTW what kind of lover do you think Penelope would have and what kind of dates they would go on if possible?
The easiest way is if her lover was a servant and part of the duchy as Penelope was often under prohibition, I assume. But it could also be someone easier from the outside. It would mean that they'd saw each other less but the chance of being found out would also be smaller. For example if her lover was a tailor or a jeweler Penelope would have a chance to visit him every time she went on a shopping trip. No one would find it suspicious if it took her the entire day. Picking out the perfect fabric, the ideal color, taking measurements, sewing the dress. It all takes up lots of time and it would make sense that Penelope has to come visit again and again for the fitting of the dress. If it's her favourite shop she would regulary visit it.
She could put on a wig and another dress. Perhaps there is even a talented make-up artist next door? Emily is send on errants and Penelope has no guard assigned to stick to her side. They could walk down the streets eating ice cream and laughing loudly at each others jokes and kiss each other unashamed in public and no one would recognize it's the Eckart's daughter on a date with her lover.
If her lover was a jeweller. It would be quite similar. She is only taking so long because she wants to talk about the design of her necklace! And no one would recognize them on a date if he gave her a magic ring that can make you change appeareances.
Then we have a doctor. He would be called because Penelope has a bad fever but with one look he recognizes that she was abused (the wounds and signs of maltnutrition are there). He would insist for her to visit him regulary at his hospital. or that she must visit his sanatorium at the sea side for her health (if the duke allows it). Maybe he makes up a terminal illness that would allow him to see Penelope regulary.
Even if someone caught them together and saw Penelope in a state of undress it'd be easier to explain it away with "the tailor was just taking measurements" "the doctor was just checking me up. quit being so paranoid, Emily"
Makes me wonder how often ladies had affairs with their favourite shopkeepers.
I imagine the shopkeeper and the jeweler go with her on city dates. They walk through the parks, visit festivals, the opera, cafe’s and so on. If he was a doctor and Penelope visited the seaside. Swimming, going on picknics, climbing maybe (as it is hinted Penelope liked climbing the walls of the Eckart estate) anything really as she would be freer to do anything she likes. Another nice idea is that they teach her a bit about their profession as Penelope does have an interest in fashion. Who knows perhaps she’d make a talented designer?
All three men are financially well off and respected in society. They could afford Penelope to get a fantastic lawyer that saves her. Perhaps they wouldn't even let it come that far. They wanted to ask for Penelope's hand in marriage after her debutante and when news of Ivonne's arrival reaches their ears it only strenghtens their resolution to get Penelope away from the duchy asap. It'd be easier for the Duke to agree too now that his true daughter has arrived and the fake one is acting increasingly annoying. They just want to get rid of her and marrying an unwanted daughter off is the usual way to go.
