Examination

Sheesh, I should probs write some fighting dog shtuff, shouldn't I? Welp, hows about 1859 words to make up for the Asher fight dog thingy hiatus lmao.

CW: dehuminization / slapping- alot lol / Examination - brief/ i cant think anything else, but if i missed something, scream it at me!

previous / masterlist

Asher sat in the kitchen, unable to move, “I’m tied to a chair.” Rodger chuckled, “Wow, great observation, want a gold star?” Asher rolled his eyes, “No, but I would like to be untied from this fucking chair.” Rodger spooned an egg from the boiling water and spooned the hot insides out onto a piece of toast, “Hmmmm, no, I don't think I will. I think if I did that, you would just punch me.”

Asher grinned, “Well, I think that you're scared of me!”

“Pfft! Oh please, don't make me laugh!” Asher squirmed in the restraints, “I’m being serious! You know I can beat the fucking head off of you!” Rodger closed his eyes and sighed, “You see, that adverb was literally not needed. I just don't get why the fu-” he sighed again, “Just stop cursing or else I’ll stick your head in this fucking boiling water!”

Asher laughed and sarcastically went, “Ooo! Scary!!”

“Better watch your mouth or else I’ll send you to Antonio’s with no breakfast.” Asher shut his mouth but scowled at him. Rodger elegantly set down the plate in front of Asher. He sat in the seat beside him and started to cut the toast into small squares and held a square which was impaled by the fork to Asher’s lips.

Asher refused at first but then slowly opened his mouth, accepting defeat. Rodger hummed happily as he fed Asher like a baby. Once the plate was empty, Rodger put on his coat and dragged Asher outside, making sure to lock the door behind him.

In the car, Asher sat in the front. Of course he wasn’t just sitting in the front, oh nonono, his hands and legs were tied together with a skinny rope. “You know this isn’t necessary. You can just keep your kinky rope fetish for your lover. I’m not interested.” Rodger chuckled, “Funny, but don’t make me want to gag you.” He turned on the radio;

“Another person has gone missing, family members say that she was just going out for dinner, but never came back. Police have-”

Rodger quickly changed the channel to a classical hits channel. Asher side-eyed him with a worried expression. Rodger could clearly see it but decided to ignore it, “Say, do you know how to play any instruments?” Asher shook his head, “Nah, I always wanted to though.”

“Of course you haven’t, I don’t know why I asked. You’d be too dumb to even know how to pick up an instrument.” Asher scoffed, “Oh please! Okay ‘turd nugget’, you tell me this, do you know how to fucking play an instrument?”

“Turd- Turd nugget-? What, no!” Asher looked at him with a grin and Rodger sighed, rolling his eyes, “Because I was too busy. Too busy making money. And what have you done? You have got kicked out of most of the high schools you went to when you were younger! So, in conclusion, I don’t think you can call me the stupid one here.”

Asher huffed, clenching and unclenching his fists, “How the fuck do you even know that?!” Rodger smiled, “Your last owner told me, Besides, I have kept my eye on you for quite some time.”

“What the fuck does that supposed to mean?” Rodger chuckled, tapping his hands against the steering wheel, “Well, Asher, it has come to my attention that you have not once, in your time staying with me, have asked me about my profession. How do you think I make all the money?”

Asher looked down, disappointed in himself almost, “Well, I mean, judging from your house, I didn’t think you had a lot of-” He was cut off as Rodger’s fist plummeted into his cheek, snapping his head to the side. “Fuck! You could’ve chipped my tooth!”

“Oh suck it up! I'm bringing you to a fucking fighting arena! A fucking chipped tooth should be the least of your worries!”

Asher grumbled under his breath. “Okay, fine, what do you fucking work as?”

“Ah, ah, ah, it doesn’t really sound like you actually want to know!” Asher rolled his eyes, “This is fucking stupid, forget it, I don’t fucking care what you do for a fucking living you piece of shit!” Asher gulped as Rodger pulled the car over he turned to Asher with a sick smile on his face, “Asher, if you don’t stop fucking cursing I swear to god I will throw you out of this god damn fucking car, let you get run over and buy a replacement!”

“Twice.”

Rodger closed his eyes and sighed, “What?”

“You cursed twice. So I get to throw you in front of a car... twice.” Rodger opened his eyes and glared at him he quickly shot forward and grabbed a fistful of Asher’s hair, “Listen up dipshit, I really don’t think you’re getting the memo here. You, are fucking nothing. I control you and you obey me. I can curse as many fucking times as I fucking want! Now, we better leave before we are late, wouldn’t want Antonio to go extra hard on you now would we?”

Asher just sulked in his seat. The car’s indicator clicked and once it was safe, the car swerved back onto the road. As the gentle hum of the road against the tires filled the car, Asher slowly closed his eyes and drifted off.

*smack* He woke up with a gasp as Rodger -who wore a shit-eating grin- stood right in front of him, “Wakey wakey, we’re here!” Asher groaned, “ ‘s alright, I can stay here and-” Another smack. “Fucking hell! I-” Another smack.” He opened his mouth but flinched as Rodger held up his fist.

The ropes were cut and he was dragged out of the car. His legs had pins and needles but he had no time for the blood to travel properly as he was dragged to the entrance of the boxing gym. It was a huge building and Antonio was right at the entrance, “Ah! Rodger! Right on time!”

Rodger smiled, “Yes, well, I would’ve been here earlier if this mutt would have complied. Anyway, we’re here now and that’s what’s important!”

“That it is!” Come in, come in! Pedro here will take Asher behind the curtains just to get an examination to be sure everything is good! Can I get you water, coffee, wine?” Rodger thought for a moment, “Can I have a whiskey on ice please?” Antonio chuckled, “Why of course! I should’ve known! Do you have a lead for this one?”

Rodger looked at Asher who was surprisingly quiet, “I don’t actually.” “That’s no problem! Pedro, get the lead.”

Pedro, Asher guessed was a worker there or some shit, disappeared for a moment, returning with a rope that had an adjustable loop on it. Asher looked between the three men around him, “No. No fucking way! I can fucking walk!” Rodger chuckled, “Give me a second boys will you?”

“Of course!”

Rodger gripped the back of Asher’s neck and pushed him to the corner of the room. “Listen here, we are out in public, don’t you want to even try to be good?” Asher curled his lip, “Hmm, when you put it that way… no.” Rodger let out an uneven breath, oh he was going to kill this boy.

He tightened his grip on Asher’s neck, making him let out a yelp. “Behave yourself, and I won’t hurt Jack tonight when he comes over.” Asher looked up at him with wide eyes and Rodger chuckled, “That’s right, I saw the way you too are getting closer, I’m not stupid!”

“That’s debatable- AGH FUCK! Okay! Okay!” He was roughly released and shoved back to the two men. “Pedro, is it? Yeah, well, you tell me if this one is giving you trouble and I’ll sort him out, he’s still not properly broken yet.” Pedro smiled, looping the rope around Asher’s neck. Asher had to hold himself from punching the guy.

He was yanked in the direction of the curtain. The rope was tight around his neck, he pulled at it until he was shoved onto some doctor’s bed. There were two other people dressed in white coats as well as Pedro. Asher gulped.

“Okay Asher, hold out your arms for me darlin’!” One of the nurse’s whose name tag read Katherine smiled. Asher, falling for the kindness, held out his two arms. Katherine took out a measuring tape and wrapped it around his bicep, muttering some numbers to the other doctor with a notepad and pen.

“Okay, now I need you to just step up on these scales for me.” Asher nodded slowly, slipping down from the doctor bed. Katherine looked at Pedro and cleared her throat. Pedro sighed and rolled his eyes. He unhooked the rope from Asher’s neck and went back to leaning against the doorway.

Katherine sighed and frowned as she looked at the scales. Asher looked at her worried. She smiled when she saw Asher’s concern, “Can I get you to step off them and we try it again?” Asher nodded and stepped off. After several seconds, he stood back on and Katherine sighed, forcing a smile, “Alright, okay! I’ll get you to just get back off again.

When he did, she kicked the weighing scales back under the bed. “Okay, we’re almost finished sunshine, just a few more things! You’re doing great!” Pedro sighed, “You should’ve seen him just two minutes ago. Like a fucking wild animal. I don't understand why you’re being all nice and ‘cutsie’ to him” Asher shot a glare at him and started growling.

Katherine just chuckled and ran her hand through Asher’s hair, “Ah, he’s a cutie, how can I not be nice to him?” Pedro rolled his eyes and folded his arms. Katherine did a few more ‘practical’ tests which Asher hated but she was quick, so the humiliation didn’t last long.

Once everything was finished, the ‘leash’ was back on him and he was bright back out to the other men. This time, Katherine came as well, she smiled and looked at Antonio, “A word?” Antonio nodded and excused both of them.

“Well?”

“Well, he’s a scrawny lad, but nothing wrong with him. Give him protein supplements and a workout schedule and he should be perfect.” Antonio smiled, “Good, he has a right old temper too. That will assist his fighting skills. Thank you, Kat, that will be all.” Katherine smiled, nodded and went back behind the curtain.

Antonio came back to Rodger, I need to do an agility test on him but everything else is perfect. I’ll take him from here. Samuel has your whiskey on ice ready in the parlour, I’ll tell you when we’re finished!”

Rodger looked at Asher and smiled, “Okie dokie, take care of him, make sure he doesn't bite any of the other dogs!” He joked. Antonio chuckled and yanked Asher’s lead, “Oh don't worry I won’t.”

And then Rodger left, leaving Asher with Antonio who dragged him into another room.

Love you goodbye for the song analysis thing

Lovely ask lol, @greedy-queen has nice posts/translations about Love You Goodbye in both spanish/english here - here - here.

But my interpretation is a little different. AFAIK the most common interpretation is that it's about Louis' breakup with E (even among those who don't believe that was real, making it a stunt song). And eh I'm not buying that. I doubt you can make any artist motivated enough, to get creative enough to write an entire song from the point of view of their fake public story without any other meaning to the words and worse, to get them to claim it's their favorite song too.

Love You Goodbye analysis under the cut:

With all "stunt songs", I think it's most likely that the artists had something written and rewrote/morphed/added to it to make it fit whatever context the public would swallow easily without it losing its original meaning. I think romantic personifications of perhaps non-romantic subjects are very very common in songwriting as it makes the song more appealing to the audience. Back to Love You Goodbye, the smack-in-your-face most obvious interpretation of the song is that it's about a break up, more specifically break up sex.

However! This whole album is FULL and I mean just littered with goodbye songs, “Hey fans, uh, we’re gonna say goodbye now, have some songs to cry over”, and Love You Goodbye is right in the middle of it. There is also Olivia, Long Way Down, History, Walking in the Wind. I'm not saying that's the only meaning to these songs and the rest is a filler, for sure not, it's just a bigg common theme. And this makes sense if you think about the mindset all the writers were probably in as they were working on these songs, knowing it would be the last in a while, I can imagine it was a common thing they were all feeling, and so it's reflected in the songs they wrote at the time as a result.

But then I went sniffing for parallels between Love You Goodbye and other 1D songs (besides those on MITAM) and found Little Black Dress, Change My Mind, Back For You!

In other words: Love You Goodbye could be a mash between "this is my farewell song for 1D" and "it's made up of other older 1D songs I love".

Let's grab the bye-bye's out of the mentioned MITAM songs:

Then the possibly Little Black Dress inspired lines (again Change My Mind and Back For You are great parallels too, but 1. it's generic 2. Louis didn't write them and mainly 3. I can't be bothered):

And welp there we have it already. That's the whole song.

EDIT: it took me a whole day to realise I made a lyric analysis without breaking down the lyrics

Away to it now!

The best thing would be split the lyrics up in 2 parts as there seem to be different things going on. Almost as if he wrote a couple of lines about one thing, a couple of lines about another thing, took those pages and just went now kiss. Lemme try to visualise this. I think these lines go together well:

These lines don't parallel older 1D songs (as far as I could tell), can easily be directed at the band/the fans and saying goodbye to it, and the placement of these lines fits that 2 concepts idea too. The first line "It's inevitable everything that's good comes to an end" is pretty self-explanatory, hiatus is coming. The second, "It's impossible to know if after this we can still be friends" can be literal as well towards the bandmembers or in case of the fans "still be friends" could be a way of saying to stay a fan, to stay in contact, stay connected.

In the second verse, "Unforgettable together held the whole world in our hands" really gives away these lines are about being in the band, and the second line "Unexplainable the love that only we could understand" is, welp k thanks for sneaking in the gay again. This line also reminds me of "when they said a love like this would never last" in Too Young.

I'll get to the bridge

For the remaining lines in the song, these are carrying the the break up sex song context. Line 3-5 in verse 1 could possibly be inspired by Little Black Dress (repeating myself here, sorry), and in verse 2 these make me think of Change My Mind. And the chorus as a mash of the two:

(this can very well be coincidental as it's all super generic, I don't think you need to go back to an older song to come up with these lines, just saying, it's there)

For the bridge, this could be read as again the final piece of songwriting for 1D, "one more taste of your lips just to bring me back", let's do this one last time (chorus: "won't you give it to me one last time"), but then it's put in the context of being in the band again: "to the places we've been and the nights we've had", and then the 3rd line bringing the whole song together "because if this is it then at least we could end it right".

For more like this see my list of song analyses.

#hope that was what you were looking for #into the tag bins>#welikeparallels #smart things with lyrics #love you goodbye #mitam #little black dress #1d said goodbye #and we cry #if anyone wants me to do more like this just send an ask :)

Cat’s Definitive Ranking of Every ML Episode as of 4/22/21

Are you guys ready for this? I did the thing. You’re all welcome. Don’t ever ask me for anything again. You can watch me get progressively more unhinged in real time.

Now, just to preface this, I did not give this too much thought. Most of these are just my gut feelings. I went through every episode and just made some snap judgments based off the lasting impressions I’ve been left with. These are my opinions. If you don’t like them, tough. And also I don’t care. Go spend 4 hours making your own damn ranking. And shut the hell up. Anyway, this is probably the longest post I’ve ever made, so I’m gonna put it all under a read more. Click on it if you have an hour to read it. Okay, here we go!

1. Origins II- Good starting point for our heroes. Good establishment of canon ships and character dynamics. Umbrella scene literally stole my wallet. Cannot emphasis enough that I am whipped for the umbrella scene. I wrote a whole ass AU just to say how whipped I am for the umbrella scene. In the Rain will play at my wedding. Jk. Weddings are for suckers. But dammit if I don’t want these kids to get married. 10/10

2. Origins I- Good introduction to lore. Good introduction to characters. Good establishment of status quoyo. Just good. 10/10

3. Simon Says- Listen, I am nothing if not a shipper at heart. This episode just sparks joy. And the whole series almost ended when Gabriel almost jumped off the roof. I was really rooting for this one. This was the episode where I saw Ladrien and went yes, ma’am, I’ll have one of those. 10/10

4. Evillustrator- Are you all surprised? Cat, the MC-skeptic ranked the pivotal MC episode so highly? Well, let me tell you all a thing, I started this fandom out a MC shipper because of this episode. Their first interaction is gold. I don’t deny that. I enjoy it. This is the MC dynamic I fell in love with. Yall toxic shippers ruined MC for me when you opened your mouths and spat in the face of Ladrien and baselessly declared MC the sin-ship. We all know it’s Ladrien. Stop kidding yourselves. Boy in leather catsuit? Please. Basic ass vanilla bitches. I’m getting off-topic. Solid episode 10/10. We love to see it.

5. Stormy Weather- Baby’s first Miraculous episode. It holds a special place in my heart. It’s a solid episode. Good establishment of what the show is. Fun villain. Good times. Fond memories. 10/10

6. Riposte- Listen, I know I’m an Adrinette stan, but hear me out: Ladrien. It’s just so good. And Kagami was compelling in this episode. It was just really solid. It’s my favorite s2 episode. If you ask me if I want to rewatch Riposte, the answer is always yes. 10/10. We stan.

7. Gorizilla- Okay, so this episode has some solid Adrinette in it, but the real reason it ranks so high is that fucking Ladrien trust fall. I stare at that scene for hours, you guys. HOURS. It is absolutely just *chefs kiss*. Sometimes when I need a pick-me-up, I just go watch gifs of that catch on loop. 10/10. Beautiful. Radiant. Carefree.

8. Gang of Secrets- I have been keeping most of my opinions to myself about s4 (mostly because I’ve backed way the hell out of this fandom), but GoS was pretty solid. Gotta say, it’s the first episode in a long time with this show that made me actually excited to see what happens next. Most other episodes I was like, okay, that was cute. The show is still meh overall. But GoS really got me like oh shit, is ML good again? 10/10 for making me feel things again.

9. Oblivio- Told you guys this one was probably rated higher than I thought. Oblivio is just really fun. There is good Adrinette. That “No wonder I fell in love with you” paired with the softest of Adrien smiles just sends me. And the kisses. The unquestionable trust. These two kids literally woke up together alone in an elevator with no memories and said welp, you’re my boyfriend/girlfriend obviously, I don’t make the rules. Honestly, how anyone could argue that these two dorks aren’t made for each other after that episode is beyond me. 9/10

10. Backwarder- Okay, I know I am weird and alone for this one, but I really liked this episode. It got a lot of shit for the constipation capsule thing at the end, but like who cares? We finally got some more backstory on Fu. He got a love-interest who is dope as hell. This episode is my favorite lucky charm use ever. Like that queen DID that. I like Backwarder, guys! Fuck off. 9/10.

11. Kwamibuster- We all know I am a Marinette-stan by this point, but our girl was SHINING this episode. This bitch said gimme all them and let me go whoop this bitch’s ass, and she DID. Hawkmoth could never. Multimouse is a gift, and Marinette is a boss ass queen. 9/10

12. Chat Blanc- Listen, this episode was very good. I enjoy the idea of my children being happy in another timeline somewhere very much. We got all 4 sides of the square in an episode. It’s just really solid. I know this is the fandom’s favorite, and everyone is gonna shit their pants because it didn’t make my top 10, but this is my list. So, I put it at number 12. It’s good. I like it. It just didn’t steal my wallet like other episodes did. Put the pitchforks down. It’s gonna be okay, you can still love it more than me. 8/10

13. New York Special- I know everyone felt some type of way about this special, but I wasn’t mad at it. My perception of it might be clouded because I watched it in Disney World where I was chilling and having a great time, but like this special really did somethings for me. The Adrinette was top tier. Tippy top tier. Even though they hurt us in the end, I am okay with it because it just means the children will grow and come out stronger. I don’t care if it’s not technically canon. Ask me if I give a fuck. I don’t. I had fun here. 8/10. Solid.

14. The Collector- This one might shock a lot of you, but let me paint you a scene. It’s the first episode of s2. We have just come off a 2 year hiatus. The fandom is thriving. We’re hungry for canon content. We have hopes and dreams and expectations. Everyone is going wild with theories. This episode confirmed something that was long since obvious (in my opinion) and ended the stupid arguments people had been having. It made Gabriel actually seem semi-competent. We got our first taste of how Chat/Adrien will react to his dad being Hawkmoth. We got a peek at their life. Adrien’s isolation and sadness. They were so close to figuring it out. The battle was epic. Like Collector really had them on the ropes there for a second. It’s a solid episode, yall. I’m not wrong. Hate me all you want, but this episode brought it. 8/10

15. Despair Bear- Is this episode up this high because of the Adrinette slow dance scene? YOU BET YOUR ASS IT IS. Okay, but fr though, shipping aside, this episode gave us hope that Chloe was actually gonna redeem herself. I mean, she didn’t but, we didn’t know that at the time. Seeing her run around trying to be nice was fun. And then she actually did something good, and we had a moment of okay, she’s capable. We’ll get there. We didn’t. But what a ride this episode was for making us think she would. 8/10

16. Startrain- Cat, you’re just ranking all the Adrinette episodes highest. And? What of it? Are you surprised? You clicked a blog that has simping for Adrinette in the description, and you’re surprised all my favorite episodes have Adrinette? I’m not wrong, you’re just an idiot. The Adrinette nap cuddles aside though, this was a pretty good episode. If you don’t think too hard about the whole space thing, we got a look at Max’s life, his mom is a driven, smart lady doing her best. Adrien rebels against papa for once. Alya stops a Lila scheme. Chloe gets to play the hero. Alya and Nino actually investigate like the heroes they are. Gabriel gets to realize what a dumbass bitch he is. I mean. Guys. Startrain is solid. 7.5/10

17. Sapotis- This one shot up in rank for me after GoS, but tbh it’s always been a solid episode. Alyanette sleepover? Check. Alya becoming a superhero? Check. It’s a fun episode. And looking back, it’s nicely called back to later in GoS. We love it. 7.5/10

18. Sandboy- Idk why I enjoy this episode as much as I do, but I do. Sandboy is a cute bean. I love his aesthetic. We also get hilarious looks at everyone’s nightmares. “Plagg, who turned you into a sock?” cracks me up cause like Adrien, bby, no XD And Chat Noir’s nightmare. I think it would have been interesting though if since Sandboy dusted the Agreste mansion, if we got a peek at Hawkmoth’s nightmares. It would have been a nice hint of plot to go along with Master Fu’s nightmare. Also Plagg giving the akuma the slip like the clever boy we know he is deep down? 7.5/10

19. Furious Fu- If you guys haven’t realized by now that I love Fu, idk what you’re doing. Pay attention. I know that some people don’t like him, but I’m just gonna say it, you’re wrong. Fu took care of the Miracle Box for over 100 years, and this episode kind of gives some insight to what the Order was like. Very strict. Lots of rules. And ya know what, Fu said fuck the police, I’m gonna befriend these little magical demigods, and fuck off! Like what an absolute legend. I was really happy to see him living his best life, and that he and Marianne got married because it’s what he deserves. We love to see it. 7.5/10

20. Gamer- People like to shit on Marinette in this episode, but like honestly, if I were in her shoes, I’d have probably done the same thing if I had the skill. Ain’t nothing wrong with a girl trying to spend time with the boy she likes. And Tom and Sabine being absolute shipping trash. I love them. And the awkward Adrinette. The introduction of the lucky charm that Adrien STILL carries. Wholesome. This was a good episode for their friendship, and we love to see it. 7.5/10

21. Christmaster- Okay, I know a lot of people hated this episode when it aired, but I thought it was really funny? Everyone skidding around in the ice rink was hilarious. If you don’t take this episode seriously, it’s really fun. Chris is pretty cute, and damn right Ladybug is the best kid in the world. Idk. This episode is fun. I’m not mad at it. Sue me. 7.5/10

22. Weredad- What? Another MC-heavy episode in Cat’s top 30? Listen, I don’t hate canon MC. The fans just annoy me. This episode was funny. The secondhand embarrassment and cringe was real. Plagg taunting Adrien because he knows the secret was great. Marinette being a self-saving queen was great. It’s a good episode. I like MC, you guys. I do. I swear! 7.5/10

23. Miraculer- This episode was interesting to me, and I think it’s still a good development episode. For one, Sabrina finally got her own akuma episode named after her. Secondly, because it’s a big step for Chloe, just not in the way we expected. It totally makes sense that Chloe can’t have her Miraculous back because literally everyone knows her identity. Can’t argue that logic. And she is the first person to ever refuse to become akumatized, so like mad respect. I know a lot of people had high hopes for redeemed Chloe (myself included), but I think watching a character fall from revering someone to hating them is also an interesting path. The friends to enemies arc as it were. Idk. I liked this episode. It was an opportunity for Chloe to grow, even if she didn’t in the end, but we’ll talk about that later. 7.5/10

24. Lady Wifi- I like Alya. I feel like I don’t say that much, and people make some assumptions because of MDCSP, but MDCSP is just a concept I wanted to explore. It doesn’t really reflect how I feel about any one character. Except maybe Lila. And Gabe. But every other spite fic I’ve written branching from Chameleon, the class has been fine. Alya has been fine. So, let it be known that I like Alya. Lady Wifi was a fun episode. Putting aside the fact that she thought Chloe was Ladybug for no reason, I like her akuma. I like the interactions we get with LadyNoir in this episode. After GoS, this episode gets a bit funnier. It’s solid. 7/10

25. Dark Cupid- I don’t have much to say about this one. LadyNoir. That’s it. That’s the tweet. Send it. 7/10

26. Volpina- So many things about this episode. It introduced a new antagonist who we didn’t exactly 100% know was going to be an antagonist at the time. This episode sparked a lot of fun fan theories for a while. Who was Lila? How was she going to shake things up? Not to mention this episode gave us a taste of plot and lore, and set up Marinette meeting Master Fu officially. Lots of intrigue sparked from this episode. And that LadyNoir door scene? OOOOOO 7/10

27. Hearthunter- One word: Adrigaminette. This episode was so cute for them! I loved seeing them all goofing and running around together. Adrien and Kagami being absolutely in love with Marinette when her hair is down. They both love her, I don’t make the rules. Not to mention, Marinette takes a big step by letting her friends be happy without her. Kagami not wanting to hurt Marinette. The drama!! Gabriel being a messy ass bitch to his friends. It loses points for the abomination of an akuma, but overall, I wasn’t too mad at it. Yet. 7/10

28. Glaciator- More MC in Cat’s top 30? It’s more likely than you think. Listen. Listen… Listen. MC is fine. This episode was the closest thing to fanfiction that we got. The balcony scene was really sweet. I was drinking the irony. We got introduced to Andre the icecream fraud. Andre the please just give me the flavor I asked for man. I could have done without Chat pouting, but the LadyNoir in the end was pretty good. I wish they’d done more with Ladybug’s feelings for Chat. Had her question herself a bit more after this one, but overall, it’s cute. 7/10

29. Zombizou- A lot of people started hating Mlle. Bustier after this episode, and like I can kind of see it, if I squint, but I did not draw that same conclusion from this episode. Mlle. Bustier just wants good things for all of her students. They’re 14 ffs, she just wants to be a good influence on all of her students and wants them all to be successful. But go off, I guess? Plus, this episode was basically just a spoof on zombie apocalypse movies. We got so many things. Julerose, Myvan, DJWifi. Chloe actually showing some depth and emotion. LadyNoir. We won this episode, babes. Sorry you didn’t get the memo. 7/10

30. Timetagger- Okay. This is the last episode in the ones that I’d venture to call “good.” Number 30. I enjoyed Timetagger. I know people have feelings about timey-wimey bullshit, and like I’m not gonna lie and say I’m thrilled with it either (I mean, I changed the rabbit’s power in MDCSP) but that being said, Timetagger was so sassy. Bunnix was cool as hell. We get to see that LB and CN are still doing the thing in the future. So many questions sparked from this episode. It was fun. Idk. I liked it. That’s all I got. 7/10

31. Malediktator- Okay, from this point on, less comments because this is the section that are more or less just meh to me. Like they’re fine. This episode was fine. Chloe was fine. Chat playing with the laser was cute. 6.5/10

32. Mayura- Adrien’s speech at the end. Nuff said 6.5/10

33. Ikari Gozen- Ryuko/Ryuuko. Gals being pals. 6.5/10

34. Reflekdoll- I talked about this earlier, but I don’t hate this episode. It’s not as bad as people make it out to be. Sue me. 6.5/10

35. Anansi- Nino is the goodest boy. Also I need more of the gang taking Adrien on adventures via Facetime. Stat. 6.5/10

36. Shanghai- This one is new, and tbh I still haven’t watched it with subs, but I had a good time. Fei was cute. The boy squad was cute. Adrien bonding with Great Uncle Cheng was cute. Hawkmoth getting literally dunked on was *chefs kiss* 6.5/10

37. Gigantitan- I love overly supportive, ride-or-die girl squad. 6.5/10

38. Party Crasher- Idk why this episode was funny to me. Kim is the purest bean. We don’t deserve him. 6.5/10

39. Desperada- This episode was an emotional roller coaster, and even though we all collectively hate Aspik’s stupid egghead, we love the Ladrien this episode provided us. 6/10

40. Oni-chan- Listen, I loved seeing Lila get a tiny bit of karma even if she made it up in the end. I loved Chat going off on her. I loved seeing her get outsmarted in the end. 6/10

41. Frightningale- My good lesbian Clara Nightingale. We stan. 6/10

42. Style Queen- I like Audrey in a “she’s the worst person I’ve ever met, I want to travel the world with her” kind of way. She’s funny to me. Idk. I love her firing everyone. She’s the one I love to hate. She’s the worst, but we love her for it. Plus this episode gave us Plagg’s adorable little Cataclysm that destroyed half the city. 6/10

43. Gamer 2.0- Chat confidently strutting in heels made this episode worth it. And we get to see the beginning of Marinette being overwhelmed. Plus it was the return of gamer!nette. 6/10

44. Troublemaker- I don’t hate this episode as much as the next person either. It was fine. Jagged is a manchild, but we love him for it. He’s a Marinette stan which like mood. The Adrinette at the end was cute. I wasn’t mad at it. Idk. It’s fine. 6/10

45. Reflekta- Where are all my Juleka stans at? I loved the LadyNoir banter in this ep. V. cute. 6/10

46. Dark Owl- This episode was fun. And it really shows their level of trust. Plus Plagg and Tikki interacted. 6/10

47. Timebreaker- Have I ever mentioned that I like Alix? I like Alix. 6/10

48. Silencer- I don’t hate this episode as much as you’d expect me to, and that is 100% because of the LadyNoir. 5.5/10

49. Prime Queen- Chat purrs. 5.5/10

50. Syren- I think the fish power-up is adorable. Ondine is a gem. Kim is a pure bean, but we been knew. 5.5/10

51. Befana- I like Gina, but this episode fell flat for me. Almost as flat as the animation. 5.5/10

52. Reverser- Another episode that everyone hates that I am actually fine with. This episode made me like Nathaniel more. Probably because I was previously indifferent toward him. Marc is cute too. 5.5/10

53. Mr. Pigeon- Marinette is one clever girl. And the Adrinette hand-touch. 5.5/10

54. Felix- Felix is a gremlin of chaos. A true chaotic neutral. He gives his uncle the finger, and I think that’s beautiful. 5.5/10

55. Truth- Bet you expected this episode to be higher. While I did enjoy watching toxic people’s world crumble, this episode still gets a meh from me dog. 5/10

56. Lies- The Adrigami was cute, and I respect Kagami as a character. The akuma could have been better tho. 5/10

57. Princess Fragrance- Not much to say here. 5/10

58. Copycat- 5/10

59. Bubbler- 5/10

60. Mime- 5/10

61. Animan- 5/10

62. Robostus- 5/10

63. Ladybug- This episode ranks this low purely because I don’t care about GabeNath, and I hate that Lila won something in the end. But Adrien saying I won’t hesitate, bitch! At the end was nice to see. 5/10

64. Catalyst- I know I ranked Mayura way higher, but Catalyst fell flat for me. Like it was fine. Wasn’t as into it though. 4.5/10

65. Puppeteer- One of my favorite lucky charm uses. 4.5/10

66. Pixelator- My favorite Cataclysm. 4.5/10

67. Horrificator- That almost-Adrinette kiss tho 4.5/10

68. Pharaoh- 4.5/10

69. Kung Food- 4.5/10

70. Rogercop- 4/10

71. Guitar Villain- 4/10

72. Dark Blade- 4/10

73. Bakerix- 4/10

74. Antibug- And now onto the bottom 10. To start us off, I will just say: UGH, this episode annoyed me. First of all, Sabrina didn’t even get her own episode. Chloe was a piece of shit. Idk why they made Ladybug the one in the wrong when Chloe was being obnoxious. Ugh. 3/10

75. Captain Hardrock- I’m gonna be honest. My apathy for this episode has grown into loathing. Toxic stans are 100% to blame. Birthday ruining, bitches. This is the reason I threw a breakup bash after Truth. Yall deserved it. 3/10

76. Christmas Special- I didn’t hate this episode as much as everyone, but it still wasn’t great. 2.5/10

77. Stormy Weather 2.0- This episode was really dumb. It didn’t need to exist. 2.0/10

78. Queen Wasp- Why did we give Chloe a Miraculous after this episode? 2/10

79. Animaestro- Did we really need a self-insert? Did we really? 2/10

80. Puppeteer 2.0- Listen, this episode would have made more sense in s1 or at the very latest early s2. Adrien gave a whole ass speech on how great Marinette is, then he turns around and is like idk if she likes me… Clean it up. 2/10

81. Miracle Queen- I could talk at length about how much I hate the ending of this episode and what they did with Chloe and Master Fu, but we’re just going to remain calm and give it a solid 1.5/10

82. Frozer- This episode made no goddamn sense. I call bullshit on so many things. Just ugh. 1/10

83. Chameleon- Surprisingly, even though this episode sparked many, many spite fics out of me, it’s not my least favorite because at least Ladybug semi-redeemed this episode. Still really dumb and ooc tho. 1/10

84. Feast- Okay, okay, okay, here we are. Bottom of the barrel. Cat’s most hated episode, and you wanna know why? You want to know why this episode fills me with the rage? Because we spent two fucking seasons building up all this mystery and lore and intrigue surrounding Fu’s big mistake, and they dropped the fucking ball! They did my mans so dirty! They could have really deepened his character, deepened the Order, deepened anything other than whatever fucking affair Gabriel and Nathalie have going on, but NO. They made it some stupid, bland-ass thing that got resolved magically in the end, then just ignored it for the rest of the season. I will never not be salty about how they did my boy Fu in this show. I’m happy he found his peace, but fuck if I’m not livid about how they did it. Whatever. Chat being done with Ladybug’s shit when they’re about to get eaten was funny I guess. .5/10

Biology vs Found Family in the MCU

After my long MCU hiatus I’ve decided that I’ve come to a point where I can rewatch the films comfortably without the dread of EG.

I was wrong. My EG rage is one with me now. I wish I could channel it into a lightsaber and cut the horrid script in half.

Having said that, as I have been watching the Avengers meet and bond for the first time, I’ve come to realise something:

Morgan Stark was created because the MCU values Biological Families over Found Families.

Let me explain.

The premise of the Black Widow movie is about Natasha finding her sister and working with her. Her blood family. They spent more time creating a character that was never mentioned throughout a decade of movies instead of focusing on the established family Natasha had found with the Avengers. Because according to them, you won’t achieve true happiness until you have your true family.

(And she was literally referred to as a monster because she couldn’t have bioligical kids. Jesus.)

Now the Avengers. We started off with them constantly fighting, which is fair. They have their differences and the sceptre was intensifying those in the first film. They came to work as a team in the end.

However, the fighting continued in every other Avenger film. It never stopped. With the only exception of one scene in AoU where they sat down for drinks that turned sour anyway, there was never a moment where they could just breathe and relax. Families fight, sure. But there has to be moments of peace to balance that out. The Avengers team was 90% fighting and only 10% relaxing. The creators were so focused on giving us cool action scenes and Who would win: Thor vs Hulk, Tony vs Steve etc, that they forgot to build their bond in between. I can already hear the creator’s favourite word thrown at me: “Assume it happened, sis.” Buddy, at some point, the assumptions can’t be backed up without evidence. So where are my receipts, sis? Where are my receipts?

Let’s move on.

Thor and his adopted sibling Loki. Bless Taika, because he really tried. When Loki wasn’t fake-dying, the MCU constantly demeaned their relationship or barely helped to fix their problems. Despite what Ragnarok started in making amends between them, the creators ultimately decided to just permanently kill the adopted one. After all, it’s moot when they’re not blood-related.

Steve and Bucky. Do I even need to fucking get into this?

Rhodey and Tony. These two met at MIT. They are as close as brothers. Yet, they barely had interactions by the time EG rolled around. I’m guessing something had happened during that ridiculous and unnecessary five-year gap that made them stop talking? How would we know? Nothing was explained. As far as we left them, they were surrogate brothers. But who cares, right? Tony found his real family now. That’s true happiness.

Peter and Tony’s relationship was hyped even by the creators, but when push comes to shove, Tony fucked off into the woods to have a biological kid because that mattered more. What happened to Peter’s death changing Tony in big ways? What was the change? That having another kid could easily replace the other you lost? I don’t get it.

Bottom line: Morgan mattered more, and it showed.

I can already hear the Endgame apologists: bUt hE mOurNed pETER fOr fIVE yEaRS

RECEIPTS, SIS!

This really came to a full circle when Tony hugged his abuser. Oy, that was...something. So you mean to tell me, despite the mental and emotional abuse, despite Tony barely even batting an eye about his dad when he said “I don’t care. He killed my mum,” everything was suddenly okay and dandy between them because...Howard tried not to suck as a father? Are you telling me that you should forgive the man that emotionally crippled you into adulthood because...he...tried...not...to....suck.

Welp. What am I thinking? Of course, right? Amending toxic biological relationships means more than the supportive relationships you build with people outside your relatives. After all, he’s blood. You owe him.

I wish I could say MCU are the only perpetrators of this, but Found Families are never given the same respect and dignity as blood relations in whatever media you consume.

If it hadn’t already been clear, this is an ANTI Morgan post. If you hijack and try to start and argument protecting your ~*precious bean*~ I will block you.

I can just imagine Tim being pregnant and going into labor and he waits until the last minute to tell Dick and Jason but then it's too late to get to the hospital like no timmy why

Omg, babe. Like.

Let’s just say this Omega!Tim universe is the one where he’s pretty much out about it, and just is cool with Dick and Jay seeing him through his Heats sometimes when he doesn’t want to go it alone and welp. It just happens that he has an oops.

Maybe his birth control doesn’t work because of reasons and he just suddenly feels fucking awful one month. One month where he doesn’t go into Heat. Like, at all.

But, as a male Omega, his cycles fluctuate, and with the life he leads, it’s not abnormal to miss a Heat or two, so no one really thinks anything about it when he doesn’t call Dick and Jay. They don’t think anything is wrong, just that Timmy is taking suppressants through it this month.

He goes through the next three months with no Heats and freaks the hell out when he takes a pregnancy test, not really thinking he is or anything, just his detective mind covering all his bases–

but it’s positive.

It’s positive and he’s going to have a baby. Jay or Dick’s baby. Their baby.

He tell the team he’s taking a bit of a hiatus, needs to work some undercover cases for a while, so he’s going to go dark for a few months. Nothing to see here, just being a good vigilante and taking down bad guys. Seriously. Don’t look for me.

He tells the Bats that he’s going to be hanging out with the team for a few months to work some pretty important cases, so he won’t be back to Gotham for a while, but really, nothing to worry about. They’ve got it handled, so just wait until I call.

He’s got everyone thinking he’s safe somewhere else when he’s really hiding out in a reinforced bunker, pulling an Oracle and fighting crime from behind a computer screen while he panics and takes prenatal vitamins, drinks decaf, and diverts phone calls and texts when his loveable team and paranoid family start thinking he’s been out of contact for a little bit too long.

(He has awful days where the hormones hit and all he can do is cry thinking about Dick and Jay’s reaction when they find out he let himself get pregnant, that he wanted to keep his baby so much he couldn’t even consider anything else. His inner Omega pushes him to contact them, to tell them the truth, but he can’t, he can’t chance their rejection. He can’t chance they’ll cast him out of the family again, not when he finally came back...)

And it’s a few weeks before he’s even due when the pains start, waking him up in the middle of night. He struggles to get up because Jellybean and Peanut make him absolutely huge that he’s literally waddling, trying to get to the bathroom thinking he’s just having normal pregnancy pains–

but his water breaks before he even gets there, and his knees go out on him when the first contraction hits like a freight train, waking him right the hell up with a whole lot of it’s time.

He screams when the second one comes quickly and his big belly quivers through it, tears in his eyes, panic and fear gripping him because there is no possible way he can get himself up and get to the hospital like this.

But with his scream, the door of his temporary nest splinters apart, kicked open by a big boot usually for knocking out teeth and breaking bones.

“Timmy?!” Is a very familiar synthesized voice when the Red Hood and Nightwing come through the doorway with Batman and Robin right at their heels, every instinct in the whole family on edge when the smell of fear and pain and panic is overpowering in their Pack Omega’s normal sweetness.

When they come upon him, sobbing and clutching his belly, right in the middle of another contraction, Robin is the one that comes out with it, “he...he is with Young!”

Cue the exact opposite of what Tim imagined would happen when the Pack literally trips over themselves to surround him, concerned and upset he’d been alone for his pregnancy, that they hadn’t been able to take care of him, spoil him, rub his belly, and put their scents all over him to claim him as theirs.

B is the one to scoop him up in a princess hold and talk gently at him, following a running Robin through the nest to the bedroom.

Utility belts, capes, cowls, gauntlets, and gloves go flying until everyone is stripped down so their scents fill the room and finally get through the agony so Tim realizes they’re with him. The panic and fear doesn’t leave his scent when Dick and Jay nuzzle him, crawl on the bed to kneel beside him, purr to try and soothe him through the pain.

Dami has Alfred on Facetime, demanding if Pennyworth knows how to deliver babies. If not, he is going to call Thompkins and have her walk them through this because Drake is too far gone to go to a hospital.

“I’m sorry,” Tim is sobbing, “please! Please don’t...don’t–”

No one is sure what he might have said because another contraction hits and he bites down on a scream, clutching his belly.

“We’re here, Baby,” Dick lays a hand on the quivering belly, rubbing gentle circles. “You aren’t alone anymore, I promise. We’re here and it’s going to be okay.”

Tim’s whole body is wracked by sobs and pain, “Don’t...don’t take my babies away.”

“Never,” Jay swear vehemently. “That ain’t never gonna happen, Timmy. Not never, y’ hear me?”

“But why, Tim, why didn’t you let us help you?” Bruce is already propping his knees up, working his soaked sleep pants down. He needs to sterilize his hands, find a place to put the Young once they’re born.

“I...” and he pants through it, in too much pain to hide anything, “I didn’t want you to kick me out again, or-or make me terminate them. I wanted them, I wanted–” the next one makes him scream again while Alfred is giving brusk instructions to Dami, bringing B what he needs to wash his hands, sterile gloves, blankets. When he runs out, checks the rest of the Nest for things they would need, he finds a room with baby clothes new with tags on them and supplies that hadn’t even been opened yet. Two cribs partially put-together, the scent in the room Tim’s normal sweetness overlayed with sadness and stress.

The Alpha in him reacts accordingly, vowing to bring their Pack Omega home with his Young and spoiling all of them. He quickly opens the packages of bottles and runs to the kitchen to boil water, put the bottles in, and prepare the Youngs’ first formula, reading the package to make sure he does it right.

He bring blankets, coming back into the madness that is Tim openly sobbing while Dick, Jay, and Bruce soothe him, tell him that they’re never letting him go again. That his babies are just as much part of the Pack, the family, as he is, and he will never, never be on his own again. Not while they’re all still breathing.

In two hours and twenty-two minutes, they have absolutely beautiful babies. Dami is in love the minute he sees them, helping Father wipe them off before putting each little one in Drake’s arms, listening to Thompkins when she orders him to pull down Drake’s shirt, the babies need skin-to-skin contact with their Bearer to stay warm.

Dick and Jay who have been taking turns mopping Tim’s brow, holding his hands, encouraging him to push, have been thinking individually how now they absolutely have an excuse to beg Tim to mate them (finally. He needs to make honest Alphas out of them). Each of them brace an arm under Tim’s to help the weakened Omega hold their babies while his chest hitches and tears still slowly make tracks down his face. They gently kiss his hair and face and purr and nuzzle while B washes up and watches his Pack get bigger with two new Young that already have a place in their hearts.

Alfred is already almost to their location with immunizations and other supplies Tim doesn’t have on-hand, had taken off the moment Master Damian’s call came into the Cave about the situation. He managed to call Miss Stephanie and Miss Cassandra to advise them they will need to come home posthaste as they shall have new members in the Pack and a celebration will be in order.

(After he has taken Master Timothy to task for keeping this from them, being alone during his pregnancy is simply unacceptable. Alfred Pennyworth is now a great-grandfather who has had no opportunity to spoil his Omega grandson, which shall be rectified the moment they bring the young Master and the Young home to Wayne Manor. Where they all belong.)

Dami is absently rubbing the bone in Tim’s ankle while the Omega holds his babies close, rocks gently even though his scent is still bordering on panic and fear with Bruce, Dick, Jason, and Dami around him. When he visibly slumps, exhausted, stressed, happy but still worried, Dami knee-walks up the bed and asks to hold his new nephew, “please, Timothy! I swear I will guard them with my life. None shall harm them as long as I am breathing. I swear this to you.”

When Dami coos at their son, calls him nephew and we are your Pack, I am your Uncle Dami, his fears start to ease, but he still can’t look Dick or Jay in the face when Bruce moves to reach around Dick and smooth his hair away from his face, gently pluck the little girl from his arm, claiming Tim can rest now that the hard work is done (but really, he just wants to hold his grandchildren close. Loves them so much already his heart is overflowing).

And even though Dick and Jay are fairly dying to hold their children, are already in love, they realize there are some grievous misunderstanding they absolutely have to handle immediately considering the lengths Tim went to hide his pregnancy from them. They exchange an understanding look full of possession and love over his head before Dick gently picks Tim up and carries him to the adjacent bathroom and Jay starts a shower for him, already stripping down so he can step inside and hold out both arms for Dick to hand him over once the Pack Alpha eases his nightshirt off, purring and nuzzling the whole time. Dick strips down to join them, the two of them holding Tim with desperate hands while they wash him gently, kiss his tear-stained face, kneel down to kiss the stretch marks over his belly.

“We are gonna talk, Baby,” Jay breathes in his ear, “’bout how ya made us nuts when ya didn’t come back ta Gotham. Left us without our ‘Mega fer too damn long.”

“And,” Dick’s eyes roll up to those watery violet ones from where he’s kneeling at Tim’s feet to press more kisses against those marks, “you are going to let us spoil you for weeks, Timmy. There’s no way out of it, so don’t bother trying to run. You don’t get to do that anymore.”

When Tim finally, finally breaks, months of stress and worry pouring out, hiccups and stuttered admissions, “I...I didn’t think you wanted me. I was just-just for Heats and-and...I didn’t want it to be because I was p-pregnant–” and when his knees are too shaky to hold him anymore, when his strength finally gives out, he’s held up by both Alphas cradling him gently between them.

“How can ya think that, Baby? Like we didn’t know what a fucking beautiful, smart lil’ ‘Mega was there fer us? Like we ain’t smart ‘nough ta see yer the whole damn package?”

“We were trying to be careful, Timmy. We didn’t want to scare you away if you didn’t want to mate. We never would have made you do something you didn’t want to do, you know that, right?”

They get him dried and dressed in comfortable sleep pants and t-shirt, carry him back to the bedroom where Bruce is holding both babies, talking low to them while Dami changed the sheets and prepared the bed for Tim to rest. He’s utterly exhausted in every way, half-aware when Dami runs fingers through his hair and tells him he’s done well, his babies are utterly perfect in every way.

Dick and Jay bracket him on either side, their instincts riding them too hard to even think about leaving him in bed alone, and the two are sitting up beside him when Bruce finally comes over to allow Dick to take the little girl from his arm, moves around the bed for Jay to reverently take the little boy. They stare adoringly at their children, full of purrs and soft Alpha musk, their other hands on their Omega.

“We’re here now. It’s all right.” “Gonna be wid’ ya every step a’ the way, yeah?” “Daddy loves you, and so do we, our sweet little babies.” “Lookit ya, already gotch the Batman n’ Robin wrapped ‘round yer lil’ fingers, ain’t cha?” Is both for babies and Bearer.

And it’s almost perfect when B and Dami knee-walk up the bed so the four of them surround Tim and the children, when seven hands are petting him, the expressions soft and awed, the scents soothing. It’s almost too much when B is the first to pick up Tim’s limp hand and lick across the pulse, reinforcing the Pack’s claim, painfully sweet when Dami makes grabby hands to do the same, when Dick and Jay lean over in succession to first kiss and then lick over his wrist.

A final few shameful tear escape, and Tim buries his face in the pillow to hide them while he trembles gently, riding the edges of exhaustion. But he cradles his wrist against his chest, forehead nudging Dick’s thigh and back against Jay’s because they’re literally that close.

But with their combined scents on his wrist, the enforcement that he is still Pack, the realization that they tracked him down, that they all came for him–

Tim Drake can slide into sleep without worrying his babies will be anything other than safe.

Welp. That got a lot longer than I planned on, didn’t it babe?

Hehe but why would I not do such nice things and reblog your amazing creations like ??? I must share, I must show love

Dhkadnsk I felt that xD and then shortly after we got wonho's comeback and I screamed because oh my gosh yesss!! This song is just flippen amazing, I really love that 80's vibe we are getting (it reminds me of songs my parents listen too from that time) and the dancing. I LOVE how just smooth he is dancing, apparently he wanted to appear like water for the dance and he pulled it off. I'm proud for both boys, they put out amazing works of art that has me both dancing and crying in the club

Exo wise, kyungsoo is amazing like you said, the way he is casual about his solo album talk is making me laugh but be excited like I'm curious what style he will go for? Sehun has a movie coming out soon I think (catboy for the win lol) and lastly chanyeol. Welp it seems to be an exo trend where the boys surprise us with something good and then they say "peace out" lol. This makes me laugh a bit, idk I'm weird cx but while I do wish we could have a bit something more from chanyeol (or him address the chaos from a while back) i hope he will do well at the military! It was going to happen soon for him and soon baekhyun so now nor never right?

Yeah I couldn't send an anon :c asks are on but not anon, not sure if it was a glitch on my end. But for mingyu, its getting a bit more chaotic if you have been catching up (I know you said you are taking a break which i support! I will miss seeing you active but take a break for sure! Your happiness and health is important and this news with mingyu is alot. Come back when ready of course! I'll be here and others as well!) But one thing for sure is pledis DID their job and put out an announcement! They confirmed one of the accusations to be false, they are working on getting things more cleared up and in the meantime mingyu is on a hiatus. Its a good step and I'm guessing for the more series stuff they are getting evidence and talking with everyone they can and put it out like starship did for kihyun. As a mingyu stan I'm happy one part is cleared up BUT this isn't far from being fixed which is what I'm seeing many fans say "oh we should have believed him in the first place" and I am sitting her confused because like no, it isn't? We don't know any of these idols, they are meant to just entertain us with music really as you said. They still need to clear up the first set of comments so I'm happy things are being done, its far from being finished so I'm staying in the middle still. All I know is there's the issue with mistranslations that also are causing problems

Ok i wrote alot I'm so sorry dnakdba but I hope you're doing good!! I may hope off on anon sometime in the future! Dont wanna bother you with shoving myself into your dms lol. Ps fudge kakao m as well

sorry again for taking ages to answer 😔😔 i’ve been away from here for a while but omg thank you again for being so nice :’)

I’ve been OBSESSED but like OBSESSED with Wonho’s Devil OMG it’s literally one of the best songs that have been released in the last few years HIS MIND ??????? i love it so much wow also CHANGKYUN all his songs are so good and mysterious and sexc and so him i love them so much (all the content i’ve been getting from him these past months... chef’s kiss!!)

Chanyeol is finally in war and Baekhyun is leaving next month! I’m happy they can take a break and focus on other things other than being idols tbh and they’ve prepared things for when they’re away! I’m really looking forward to every 27th of every month omg pcy and his big ass brain! i wonder what’s he prepared! also he’s got a station coming out tomorrow which i’m v excited about (even though sm for some reason won’t give him his well deserved solo but that’s to discuss another day smh...) ALSO DID YOU SEE OBSESSION XIÜMIN???? MY GOD the concept was tailored for him omg i’m so glad he knew we wanted him in there and he delivered!!!!

As for the mingyu thing...things have been kind of “cleared” out now but i feel weird still idk i’m still waiting for him to say something on the matter tbh idk if it’s ever gonna happen but..yeah but at the same time i miss seventeen and gose so much i hope they come back soon

BUT...

HOSHI

HOSHI!!!!!! omg hoshi ???????? i’m in love with spider and the mv and the concept it suits him so well AND THE CHOREO???? i can’t wait for studio choom and to see him perform it live on music shows (i think he’s going to attend a couple???) he looks so good and seems so happy to be releasing his music! nd also the seventeens hyping him up at any given chance??? we love to see it!

but anyways i hope you’re doing well too! and hope out of anon whenever you want to ☺️ also we got the songs back!!! yessss but still fuk kakao m for being petty

Lullaby

Keanu Reeves x Reader (A/n- After a one week, unforeseen hiatus, we’re back. Also, in retrospect, these two have been having a lot of sex, I'm not even sure if this is realistic. Welp.) (Chapter Summary- Keanu’s sister confronts him about his dealings with a certain young lady and Y/n returns to The Heather for an awkward reunion with her friends.)

Chapter1 Chapter2 Chapter3 Chapter4 Chapter5 Chapter6

Warnings- SMUT/NSFW (it’s at the end)

Chapter 7

After Y/n had hurriedly gotten into her dress and collected her stuff, she had nearly run out of Keanu’s suite, with barely a good bye. When she was gone, Keanu disappeared back into the bathroom, only remerging when he found a pair of sweat pants that he had left in there after his first night at the hotel. “So...” Karina began, observing him curiously as he shut the door behind him.

“So?” He feigned ignorance, hoping he could avoid a conversation on the matter.

“So if you wanted to bring along your secret girlfriend, I don’t think mom would have minded. I mean, she looks really young. Like really, really-”

“I get it,” Keanu emphasized, pushing off from the wall that he was leaning on, rolling his eyes as Karina started fluffing the pillows, long deciding that it was probably the safest part of the bed to touch. She always had to be doing something with her hands whenever she was nervous, “And Y/n isn’t my girlfriend.”

“Well that makes more sense,” she returned, no hesitation in her tone.

Keanu’s brows knitted in confusion, “What the hell does that mean?” He frowned as he opened one of his suit cases, rummaging through it in search of a t-shirt.

“It just means that you’re not the kind of guy to date some kid,” she scoffed.

Keanu rolled his eyes again, “Y/n not a kid. She’s twenty-three.”

Karina huffed, chuckling quietly, “Compared to fifty-five, she’s a kid. Keke, she could be your kid.”

“First of all, don’t be gross. And second of all, she’s not my kid,” he explained, rolling his eyes, already exasperated.

Hitting the pillow as she set it down, “I just think that-” Karina gasped loudly, “Jesus, do you have torture chamber in here or something?”

“What?” Keanu scrunched his nose, finally producing plain grey t-shirt from his suitcase. When his sister didn’t answer, still staring at his back with a mix of horror and confusion, he moved to stand backwards in front of the mirror, craning his neck uncomfortably to see what she was seeing. Sure enough, there were angry red lines running the length of his back, “Oh,” he chuckled absently, “That’s-”

“Never mind,” Karina cringed, clearly disgusted at the mere thought, “I don’t want to know,” she shook her head, shuddering as Keanu started puling the t-shirt on over his head, “Look,” Karina sighed, “I don’t wanna be that sister that gets overly involved in her brother’s personal life, I just.....how are people gonna look at you if this gets out? How are people gonna look at her?”

With a heavy sigh, Keanu sat on the bed, starting to put on a pair of running shoes, he really needed an out from that conversation and he wasn’t going to find one in that hotel room, “I’m going for a run, why don’t you tell mom I’ll meet you guys for lunch.”

Realizing that he wasn’t going to entertain the topic any further, Keanu’s sister just sighed, already on her way out, “Yeah, sure. Just be careful,” smiling tightly, she didn’t even wait for him to respond before pulling the door closed behind her and heading out.

As Y/n approached the sleek black vessel bobbing idly in the water, she silently hoped that she could head straight to her room without having to interact with anyone. Though Keanu had offered a jacket or a scarf, something to cover up with, Y/n had been to flustered to wait for him to find one, opting to walk back hurriedly with her head down and sunglasses protecting her identity.

Quickly, she jogged over the short iron ramp that bridged the space between the yacht and the dock. Thankfully, the poolside and living room was clear and Y/n was even a little shocked that there was no one there. Hurriedly she went up the stairs, relieved that thus far, she hadn’t had any run ins. Though, her relief short-lived when she bumped into Tracy, who was just coming out of one of the guest bedrooms, and not one that she was staying in, “Y/n!” She sighed loudly,pulling her into a hug, which was a bit alarming considering Tracy had never been a big hugger.

“Trace,” Y/n reciprocated, patting her back slowly, confused by the out of character display of affection, “Everything okay?”

“Yeah,” she sighed, pulling away awkwardly, “Where the hell were you? We’ve been looking for you!”

“In Matt’s room?” Y/n cocked a curious eyebrow, her gaze shifting between the door and a somewhat flustered Tracy.

Clearing her throat, Tracy straightened her back, “What the hell happened to your neck?”

“I asked you a question first!” She frowned as they both tried to deflect semi-obvious, unspoken truths.

Of course, Tracy was always better at getting straight to the point, “Yeah, well, I’m not the one who look like someone did a tour of Iraq on her neck. Besides, we’ve been calling.”

“It does not look that bad,” Y/n’s hands flew to her neck, “Look, just.....I was out, okay? And my phone died,” she managed, already turning to go up the second flight of stairs, "I need to go take a shower," Y/n huffed.

"Looks like you already took a shower," Tracy smirked, referring to her drying hair, "It was him, wasn't it?"

"Who?" Y/n turned, facing Tracy again, pretending not to know what she was talking about.

"Who?" She mocked, rolling her hazel eyes, "Come on, I'm not an idiot, Jill and company told me who they left you with yesterday," she teased, "And I used to be your roommate; I can tell your walk of shame from a mile away."

"Ugh," Y/n sighed, hanging her shoulders, "Fine. It was Keanu," she rolled her eyes.

Tracy joined her on the stairs, and slowly, they walked to Y/n's room. "Nice guy movie star did that?" She chuckled, almost as if she couldn't believe it and Y/n's cheeks took on a barely noticeable shade of pink, "I might have to get me some of that."

"No, you do not," Y/n deterred as they approached the double doors to her room. As the entered, Tracy immediately flopped onto Y/n's bed, still grinning wickedly.

"Then he must be really good; if you're not willing to let him go," Y/n just shook her head, going through her stuff in search of an outfit, "So, are you gonna see him again?"

"I don't know," she shrugged, dumping a sweater and a pair of faded blue capris onto the bed, "We didn't really talk about it."

"I can see that," Tracy hummed, “I’m surprised you came back if it was that good though.”

Getting a towel out of a near by closet, Y/n stopped, leaning against the wall, “Yeah, well, his sister caught us. Definitely not the best part of my morning.”

“No shit,” Tracy chuckled, laying back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling as she rubbed her arms up and down the sheets.

Still holding the towel, Y/n sat next to Tracy, “Since we’re on the topic of getting caught in awkward positions; what were you doing in Matt’s room?”

“Woah Y/n/n!” Tracy sat up, laughing loudly, “That was a stretch, wasn’t it? But if you must know...” she trailed off, looking to see if she could somehow get out of explaining why she was there. Tracy and Y/n had been friends for going on six years and they had both met Matt at a college frat party; and from the minute they were introduced, Tracy and Matt had been at odds, though everyone always teased them, saying that they fought like an old married couple. “I was just.....”

“You were just...?” Y/n encouraged, gesturing with her hand for Tracy to continue.

“I was just asking Matt if he had any sunscreen,” it didn’t even sound like Tracy believed what she was saying, “It turns out that he didn’t,” she scoffed, “That dumbass doesn’t know how dangerous UV rays are,” she grumbled, actively avoiding Y/n’s gaze.

“Okay, first of all, I don’t think Matt’s ever owned sunscreen, I mean, he’s Matt; he lives in New York and barely ever leaves his office. This might be the closest he’s been to a beach since college,” dropping the folded towel on her lap, Y/n folded her arms, “And I find it hard to believe that you forgot to pack sunscreen considering-”

Playfully, Tracy shoved Y/n into a standing position, expertly cutting her off, “You know, I just remembered; Amanda was saying something about asking the captain to take the boat out later, maybe you should go shower, put on this adorable-hickey hiding outfit and go tell her its a great idea! Go, go go!” Tracy encouraged, standing abruptly, “I’m just gonna.....call my attending, you know to, check in.”

“What are you gonna do? See if a implants at ten went as scheduled?” Y/n teased, smirking at Tracy’s erratic behavior.

“Yes! Laugh all you want, but a bad boob job is socially debilitating, and as a doctor, I have a duty to make sure that patients are comfortable and happy with their results,” already, Tracy was half out the door, “I’m going now,” she announced, pulling the door closed behind her, all but literally running away from their conversation.

Confused, Y/n undressed and headed towards the bathroom, intent on freshening up in a way that showering with Keanu hadn't allowed.

Afterwards, Y/n took her time in getting dressed. The warm water and rubbing from her lufa had remedied some of the hickeys; some had faded and lighter ones were barely visible, but her loose turtleneck was still in order. She paired her outfit with a cute pair of oxfords, that had somehow made it into her suitcase, and then ran a brush through her damp hair.

When Y/n got to the poolside, everyone was there; Matt, Jillian and Tracy were lounging in the shade, chatting over drinks while Catherine and Amanda were in the pool. "Look who finally found their way back!" Amanda cheered from the water.

Rolling her eyes as she laughed quietly, Y/n plopped into a empty chair after grabbing a beer from the bar. "Isn't it a little warm for a sweater?" Jillian scrunched her nose.

"She's hiding her sex scars," Tracy interjected with a smirk.

"Sex scars?" Matt's brows knitted.

"They are not sex scars," Y/n sighed, taking a swing from her tinted bottle.

"Do you have clever word play on stock or something?" Jillian turned to Tracy.

Chuckling, Tracy took a bite out of a strawberry and as she swallowed, she returned, "It's a gift."

"I still wanna see Y/n's sex scars, whatever that is," Matt said and Tracy mumbled something about him being too dense to understand. Reaching to playfully tug on the neck of her sweater, Y/n lightly swatted at his hand, squealing when she failed to deter him. "Wow," he breathed.

Squinting her eyes, Jillian leaned forward, hampered by the little patio table that they were at, "Isn't that one too big to be a hickey?"

"Okay," Y/n shoved Matt's hand away, readjusting the collar of her top, "I don't wanna talk about this anymore."

"I have something we can talk about," Amanda said, coming up from the pool, using a towel of soak up most of the water before she slouched down in the wicker chair next to Y/n. Catherine wasn't to far behind, squeezing water out of her long blonde locks. "Let's have a party. Invite a bunch of people and take the boat out tonight. It'll be fun."

"Do we even know people to invite?" Y/n chimed in.

"Yeah, I wasn't aware that we had a Greek party crew," Tracy agreed.

"You weren't," Amanda pointed to Y/n, Matt and Tracy, "Because while Y/n was getting laid and you two were doing.......whatever you were doing," Amanda looked between them, "We were making friends."

Catherine hummed her agreement, "We met this awesome group at a club last night, said their down to party whenever we were ready. If we ask them and they bring their friends....."

"It'll be lots of fun," Jillian finished.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Y/n chortled, "Let's do it!"

Everyone cheered in excited agreement and they quickly started discussing specifics for the coming night. A quick word to someone from the staff ensured that the captain and the rest of the crew would know to prepare and as they moved on to discussing building up a a crowd, Catherine suddenly gasped, grabbing Y/n's hand from across the table, "You should invite Keanu!"

"You should!" Jillian agreed, "As a 'thank you' for fucking you senseless."

"I don't know," Y/n frowned, “What if that’s weird? I mean, his sister caught us and we didn’t talk about seeing each other again. Isn’t that like asking out your one night stand?”

“People do that all the time,” Catherine countered.

“Yeah,” Matt winced, passing a hand over his five o’clock shadow, “But then it’s not really a one-night stand anymore.”

“I think you should do it,” Amanda put her hand on Y/n’s shoulder, “But only if you want too.”

She wanted to, she really did. But Y/n didn’t want to overstep in thinking that just one wild night together meant that they would just start hanging out, “I do,” she sighed, “I just don’t want it to be weird you. I mean, how’s that gonna go?”

“Come on hun, the worst that can happen is that he says no,” Jillian folded her arms, eyes challenging, “But you won’t find out unless you try. So you should try.”

“Okay,” Y/n nodded, shifting uncomfortably in her chair as she tried to summon the resolve to make her way over to Keanu’s hotel.

“Now,” Jillian urged.

“Ugh,” Y/n stood reluctantly, knowing that they wouldn’t let it go until she went over there and came back successful. They really were good friends. pushy and overly-involved but still good and Y/n knew that they always meant well.

Three short knocks had Keanu pushing off the sofa, headed towards the door. He had had just returned from lunch with his family and had planned on spending the rest his afternoon with a book. It wasn’t exactly the a conventional vacation activity but his conversation with sister from earlier that day had left him in a less than favorable mood. Though, it only took pulling the front door open to change that, “Y/n,” he smiled, “I wasn’t expecting to see you.”

“Oh?” She beamed, taunting him, “I thought you were confident in your abilities,” Y/n winked, tilting her head to the side, regarding him through sparkling eyes.

Keanu scoffed humorously, leaning against the doorframe, “Nice sweater,” he mused, his gaze flickering over her body, even in loose clothing and with wind tousled hair, Y/n looked every bit one of the most desirable woman he had ever come across, “And I’m very confident,” Keanu leaned forward, close to her face, his lips centimeters away from her, “And those little sounds you made reminded me that I have every right to be.”

Y/n’s breath caught and before she could even think of leaning forward to kiss Keanu, he was upright again, out of reach without effort. Flashes from the night before and even that morning barraged Y/n, bringing with it a distinct, rosy heat to her cheeks. Keanu had been so skilled at extracting everything from breathy moans to muddled praises. He knew just where to touch and how to do it and the mere thought of his hands on her body again was sending her into a heated frenzy, and, for some reason, him standing there in a t-shirt that stretched over his firm biceps and sweatpants didn’t really improve her situation.

Fighting to get herself under control, Y/n had to take a deep breath and drag her bottom lip between her teeth, “You really know how to get a reaction, don’t you?”

“I have my moments,” Keanu teased, “You know I’m happy to see you, but what are you really doing here?” He folded his arms and Y/n had to try to ignore how good he looked like that, shifting her weight from on leg to the other.

Y/n huffed quietly, “We’re having a party tonight, I want you to come.”

“Is this the kind of party where I have to wear a tux?”

“Jeans and a t-shirt will be fine. We’re at the private dock a half mile up, and we leave at nine,” Y/n had already started walking backwards down the hall, not giving him a chance to say ‘no’ or herself the opportunity to stay at his suite for longer than intended, “I’ll see you?”

“You’ll see me,” Keanu determined, watching her enter the elevator, his smile not fading even retreated back into his room.

Y/n stood amidst the large gathered crowd, music so loud that she could feel it throbbing in her chest and probably ruining her hearing. It was getting closer to nine, in fact, there was just ten minutes left in the hour and Keanu still hadn’t shown. Y/n was staring to think he wasn’t going to at all.

“Looking for someone?” A deep voice along with a hand on her arm startled Y/n, nearly making her spill beer on her dress.

“What?” She turned abruptly, smiling when she saw it was Keanu, “Oh! Uh....” Y/n trailed off definitely not willing to tell him that she had been awaiting his arrival, “No, well, yes,” she stuttered, racking her frozen brain for an appropriate excuse, “I was looking for someone to dance with.”

“Well now you’ve found someone,” Keanu beamed, relieving Y/n of her drink, discarding it on a near by table, “Come on,” he encouraged, pulling her closer to the center of the makeshift dance floor.

Y/n took Keanu’s hand, only just taking in his outfit; black jeans with a grey t-shirt, black leather jacket and brown boots, “You look great!” Y/n’s voice combatted the volume of the music, almost losing it’s way to his ears.

“You look even better!” He returned, looking down at Y/n who was wearing a glittery, one shouldered mini dress, and her straightened hair fell, needle straight, over her bare shoulder “What did you do about....” he gestured to her neck area.

“Make-up,” Y/n answered, shimmying closer as Keanu’s hands slid down to stay secured on her hips, “Took an hour.”

“Sorry about that,” he chortled.

“No you’re not,” Y/n’s hands wound around Keanu’s neck, pressing her body to his.

“Eh, maybe you’re right,” he winked

Getting lost in the music was easy and Y/n’s dance moves slowly became more suggestive, with the sole intent of teasing Keanu. In response, his hands slid down her waist, around to her back, lingering on the curve of her behind. When Y/n turned in his embrace, Keanu roamed her body, his fingers almost electric as they brushed the exposed skin of her thigh just below the hem of her dress. Reaching backwards, she leant her head against his chest and urged his face closer to the back of her neck.

“Maybe we should go somewhere more private?” He suggested, his whisper a warm wave against her diamond-studded ear.

Twisting her body and tangling her fingers in Keanu’s hair, Y/n pulled Keanu into a hot, brief kiss, “We should. Come on,” untangling from him, Y/n took Keanu’s hands, lacing her fingers with his, leading him inside, barely paying any mind to the few party-goers that had populated the living room. Though, from the minute they found themselves in a lonely, minute cubby between the stairs and the wall, Keanu’s lips were on hers, his hands slipping beneath the end of her dress, kneading and groping as she worked on the buckle of his belt.

“Where’s your room?” He breathed when they broke for air.

“Third floor,” Y/n returned her lips on Keanu’s neck as she shoved his jacket off.

Pushing her panties to the floor, Keanu slipped a couple digits into her slick folds, smiling as she moaned loudly, “That’s too far,” slowly he pumped between intervals spent rubbing her cilt, “Where else?” He urged.

Throwing her head back, Y/n almost hit it on the wall behind her, and she was having a hard time finding it hard to offer any comprehendible response. “Come on baby,” Keanu encouraged, slowing his movements.

Between moans a whines, Y/n finally managed, “Rear deck....through there.”

Wordlessly, Keanu hoisted Y/n up in his arms, her legs going around his waist, taking them through a near-by door that lead them back outside. Thankfully, the little sitting area with a circular with an unlit fireplace at the center had, thus far, remained untouched.

Walking backwards, Keanu sank into one of the stark white, cushioned love seats. Clumsily, Y/n undid his pants and he raised off the seat slightly to help when she shoved them down to his knees, along with his underwear.

Y/n's dress was bunched up at her waist and Keanu's fingers were sank into her soft skin. With her forehead pressed to his, Y/n reached between them; lining him up with her drenched entrance. Then, as she sank down on his arousal, the pair moaned in unison.

"Fuck," Keanu breathed, his breath fanning her face. Y/n's warmth cocooned Keanu perfectly and he took a minute to enjoy how she felt around him before roughly commanding, "Move babygirl."

Sighing as she leaned forward, Y/n's still clothed chest was pressed to Keanu's, and she buried her face in the side of his head as she struck up a leisurely pace. Keanu breathed her scent, all champagne and expensive perfume. Her hands moved from around his neck, traveling down his chest only to slip under his t-shirt. The coldness of Y/n's fingers sent shivers up Keanu's spine as they slid up to his shoulders.

As they moved, rough but in sync, neither of them noticed that the boat had long pulled away from the dock; clear skies affording anyone on board a clear view of gorgeous Greece glittering in the distance, the lovely city leading to mountains illuminated by the moon hanging above, keeping silent watch on the miscreants below. The chill of the night went mostly unnoticed too, with their actions and proximity offered the pair an incomparable warmth.

The thin heels of Y/n's stilettos dung into Keanu's thighs, any injury only prevented by the denim barrier. Eventually, Keanu's grip on Y/n's hip tightened as he led her into a faster pace. Moving one hand, he reached between them, rubbing her throbbing cilt encouragingly. Y/n’s breath shuddered as a result the added pleasure and her nails sank deeper into the flesh at his shoulders, “Fuck Keanu,” she moaned.

As they moved, Y/n pressed her lips his, occasionally nibbling on Keanu’s bottom lip. Soon, the tension bubbling in the lowest pits of Y/n’s stomach were at a boil and she was close to bubbling over. Her body tensed and her breathing grew heavier, “Keanu......” she whimpered, eager for release, her eyes shut tight, “I’m close.”

With a throaty growl, Keanu’s hips bucked upwards to meet Y/n’s, “Me too,” he managed through gritted teeth.

Not long after, Y/n was finally bubbling over; garbled praises punctuated by loud breaths easily falling off her lips. A gush of wet warmth spilled out of her, coating their thighs and probably parts of their clothes.

The feeling of Y/n clenching around him was enough to bring on Keanu’s release buried deep inside her; low groans contained in his throat as he kissed her again, the base of his short nails digging into her firm ass.

Their heads lopped together at the sides but before Y/n and Keanu’s breathing could start slowing while she was still in his lap, noises at the closed screen door startled them into separating, pulling and tugging at their clothes. Y/n was still adjusting the hem of the dress, when out of the screen door, lip-locked and already half undressed, stumbled Matt and Tracy.

“What the fuck?” She exclaimed, half amused, a bit mortified, though it was mostly because Keanu was still pulling his pants up, and extremely shocked.

Springing apart; Matt’s hand left its place of Tracy’s behind and she scrambled to start re-buttoning her blouse, breathing with wide eyes, “Fuck!”

Happy 10th anniversary of that time Zuko ran in front of a bolt of lightning for Katara, here’s a very important list I wrote during my hiatus earlier this year and sent to @iamfitzwilliamdarcy:

reasons for scream

“That’s something we have in common.”

“Maybe you could be free of it.”

That little nod when he lets her touch his scar, which he’s never let anyone do before

She lays her hand on him so gently. She touches him to heal, not to hurt.

But also “I’ll save you from the pirates” lol who are we kidding here

“You rise with the moon. I rise with the sun.” ALL THE BALANCE SYMBOLISM I MEAN COME ON

They were so evenly matched that whether it was night or day is all that made the difference in who won

She freezes him but leaves air inside the ice so he can breathe. He uses the air to taunt her while he explodes his way out of the ice. Your otp could never.

The sad eyes when she looks back as she leaves the cave. Kill me.

“I thought you had changed!”

That water whip when she refuses him as a prisoner like damn that is some righteous fury, his betrayal cut her so deep, so personally

“I’ll make sure your destiny ends, permanently” and he’s just like “...welp, that happened”

That scene where they argue under the full moon as the waves crash violently against the cliffs and she shouts at him “I was the first person to trust you, back in Ba Sing Se!” and the wind whips the long grass and they stand there with so much emotion between them while a shooting star passes overhead. I feel faint.

That’s definitely how you handle two characters whose relationship isn’t important and won’t affect anything after the war tbh

He waited outside her tent all night though? To try to make it up to her? This boy.

He’s the only one who understands her specific need for closure and catharsis over a traumatic memory that made her feel powerless because they’re the same

He seemed to be all anger and fury but in his heart was hope and goodness, she seemed to be all hope and goodness but in her heart was anger and fury, neither could find balance without the other, WHICH WAS A MAJOR THEME OF THE WHOLE FREAKING SHOW LIKE COME ON

(“Perhaps in return I can restore something you’ve lost” lol ~*foreshadowing*~)

That look of awe when he sees her bloodbend like respect

“You look her in the eye and tell me you don’t remember what you did” like woah that is some projection of guilt right there he needs her forgiveness so badly

and she’s finally able to give it thanks to him

“I am ready to forgive you” like what a life-changing moment honestly

And then she throws herself into his arms and they embrace as the sun is setting but like in a super casual way that in fact doesn’t even mean they’re friends or like each other at all I’m sure.

When he’s scared to face his uncle and she reassures him he’ll be forgiven there too though? Lowkey scream.

Also when he like shoves Suki out of the way to run to her and save her from the falling rocks lol.

And then she plucks him out of the air when he’s falling with such determination like “no one kills him but me” lol

He! Asks! For! Her! Help! The proud prince humbles himself instead of trying to do it alone! They were perfectly matched opponents, now they will be the perfect team! Dramatic reversals and character development and narrative payoff, oh my!

Literally any shot with the two of them framed against the red sky during the comet is super gorgeous just saying

He...he ran??? In front of a bolt of lightning??? For her????

This boy! Outran lightning! To save her!

LIGHTNING!

The dramatic slow mo as he realizes who the lightning is aimed at and the horror dawns on him and you know like in that moment nothing mattered, nothing existed except her

And then the Big No and he runs

He takes like a billion volts straight to the chest for her (in an extremely nonchalant way that I’m sure means nothing)

The way she cries out his name when she sees him go down though?

Also that single hand reaching for her helplessly while she fights Azula, like he’s lying there on the ground literally dying he’s still only thinking about trying to protect her

Seriously, that desperate, trembling hand reaching out for her! Which means absolutely nothing at all, of course.

~*AND THEN SHE HEALS HIM*~

She heals his heart like what kind of extra romantic symbolism is this shit that in no way indicates they mean anything to each other

He’s gonna have that scar on his chest for the rest of his life as proof of how far he’s willing to go for her but I’m sure neither of them will ever think about that

He thanks her in that husky whisper because he almost died y’all

“I think I should be the one thanking you.” PAYOFF! EMOTIONAL AND NARRATIVE PAYOFF! It’s so beautiful.

They stand together, triumphant. I cry.

And then yeah I’m sure they just go on with their separate lives and don’t actually even get along as friends and certainly never think about each other at all because they didn’t fundamentally shape each other’s coming into their own or change each other in irrevocable ways, that is totally believable and very good writing.

#zutara #it's been ten years and i'm still screaming

reaction post typed while watching SPN 14x10 “Nihilism”

i can’t think of a summary but i watched the thing and here are my thoughts

03:43pm

hokaAAAAAY i’m severely magnesium deficient so i haven’t slept, feel very sick, and i can barely see but LET’S DO THISSSSSSSS

i just wanna see cas, i miss him

too bad he’s probably gonna be sad all episode

AT LEAST LET US SEE HIM CRY pls

03:48

is that pamela? or does she just look exactly like pamela

and what does the table say? “darn love free”???? i can’t read it D:

03:50

istg i want to eat all the symbolism here and i don’t even know what 98% of it means

but there’s “cosmic cowboy”, “ghost”, and “the fox rye” lager on tap

and DEAN HAS A SUPER SOFT VOICE WHAT IS THIS

03:52

the texan star sign always looks like the bi pride flag to me

plus if you look from red/pink lights at the top, purple on the right, blue on the bottom, ................. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

cOINCIDENCE.........PROBABLY

03:54

a girl in glasses comes in and dean’s like “welp” ;)

is this dean’s heaven

are the girls gonna make out

i feel like that might happen

edit: noooope and i’m glad about that tbh

pamela confirmed

okay good it’s not just super weird casting where everyone looks literally exactly the same as other people

03:57

pamela: “besides, you don’t want me, you just like to flirt”

yeaaaah and he knows it

i love seeing dean this content tbh <3

and yeah that’s pretty much how i think dean sees most girls nowadays

edit: this was one of my favourite parts from this episode

04:02

guest starring someone called thunderbird dwindle??? and lisa berry

okay i’m game

04:04

jessica got replaced by violet and violet has the most wonderful smile and i love her already

“we have shifts now because you mess up so, so many things”

this lady’s style and script delivery makes me feel like she’d be right at home in ‘the good place’ (which is an amazing show i recommend to everyone)

04:07

how the hell does he heal like that

did jack heal him

if he heals himself, why doesn’t he heal during battle? there must be reasons and explanations but i don’t know them

04:13

i’m really enjoying michael’s smug sarcasm

04:15

I FUCKIN LOVE DEAN IN HIS LIL REPEAT FANTASY THING

HAppy dean is my fave, no other dean is allowed

04:17

i love that in order to get the repeat shot of “ghoul thing in wichita with cas, they should be back tonight” to follow into “huh, just had some serious deja vu” they had to shoot the long version and just cut it for the first 3 times, then play the long one the 4th time

it’s so simple but it makes me very excited

also wooooooooooooow, personal note, i feel so goddamn sick and dizzy rn WHY IS MAGNESIUM SO EASY TO BE DEFICIENT IN, SO HARD TO REPLENISH IF YOU HAVE CELIAC DISEASE, AND SO UTTERLY VITAL FOR BASIC FUNCTION

i mean it’s a little tmi but taking more supplements actually makes it worse since if you take too much you lose it in diarrhoea, which makes you more deficient. and taking not enough also makes it worse. and getting exactly the right amount means i’m constantly on the borderline of deficiency. ;~;

04:27

cas remains to be the single more beautiful and compassionate creature in existence

04:28

literally cannot handle this shot i’m squealing ;~;

also michael is like HEY I HAVE DADDY ISSUES remEMBER YOU HAVE DADDY ISSUES TOO

it got worse

04:29

also beautiful but NOWHERE NEAR AS BEAUTIFUL AS CAS AT THIS MOMENT and i can’t even figure out how or why

probably the lighting and the acting

cas is all nice n stuff and michael is like EVERYONE MUST DIE sooooo

04:31

“my world, this world? nothing but failed drafts. and when [god] realises they’re flawed he moves on a tries again”

now look here

i literally wrote this concept

in my destiel fic “hart of the storm”

four years ago

https://archiveofourown.org/works/2669921/chapters/5968742

(skip to chapter 21 if you don’t wanna read the whole thing. but also do read the whole thing pls thank)

04:39

i cannot handle

i love this and hate this

i am inexplicably thrilled by his expression

and the way he says “coool science project. i give it a b minus”

also this seems super gay to me and i really couldn’t say why

maybe it’s the flirty “ah! ooh” when cas touches michael’s face, which i only heard after i said it was gay

i guess michael also thought it was gay

04:44

cas: “so much..........so much trauma in dean’s mind..........so many scars”

not a surprise but still

sam: “if i wanted to distract dean, i’d give him something he’s never had before”

cas: “contentment”

this hurts. SO . MUCH

but also i love seeing them figure that out and talking about that shit so openly

sam: “let’s look through his good memories”

vaguely violating but I WANT THIS SO BADLY YESSSS

one of dean’s fave memories is saying “i think i’m adorable”

he enjoys moments of self-love

aS HE FUCKING SHOULD AAAHHHHHHH

i’m so emotional about this

i just want to hear about panties and cas somewhere in this

edit: to be fair there was no mention of sam in there either?? intrigued by this episode saying dean doesn’t actually care about his family, which i find incredibly hard to believe, but there’s something about the way michael says it that makes you kind of wonder if it’s true

cas says pamela is designed to distract dean

pamela: “you really know how to talk to a lady, don’tcha”

hurr

cas just stares and squints

i have decided this is gay and i like it

04:53

the impala’s licence plate in the background (top left) ^

and the cowboy cutout things from the tombstone episode

BOTH THE GUY AND THE GIRL WHOO (note that the guy cowboy is BEHIND CAS)

04:56

pamela: “get me a shot. with your braaaain.”

i love her

04:58

when cas’ eyes go big it makes me have emotions

05:11

dean: “my mind, my rules. i’ve got him. i’m the cage”

NICE

05:13

cas: “you cannot AFFORD that kind of accident”

aw man be nice to jack

oh and then he is <3

cas is the best dad

<3 <3 <3

05:16

OH HEY IT’S MY FAVE

05:19

all of dean’s death journals say he dies because of michael......

“all except one.”... “that’s up to you”

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy he looks like a scared lil kiddo

05:20

it’s over WHOOOOOOOO THAT WAS GREAT 10/10

one of the best episodes in a long time but that might just be because of the hiatus :P

i feel too damn sick to think about things but THAT WAS SOME GOOD SHIT

love seeing women of colour with names and speaking roles and purposes and actual characters

and seeing dean was very, very nice

michael is fun to watch even though he’s the Worst

and maggie’s continued existence just makes me happy

kudos to steve yockey and amanda tapping. this was a good way to spend an afternoon when i cannot do anything else.... and nor would i have wanted to, really ~

Still on hiatus. Still plan on coming back soon.

Things are still sort of settling down. I imagine I’ll be close to getting back on my feet in the next couple weeks and around then, I should feel relaxed enough to write.

In the meantime, though, I have a few feelings I need to get off my chest and I really just need to journal them. There’s not really anything to do about them other than just to get them out, so I’m throwing that under a cut aaaaand thanks for reading my little update and sticking with me. See y’all soon.

So I know that a lot of y’all who know me in the real world know that I’m actually a real hard-ass with thick skin and a stiff upper lip who always tells it like it is with no sugarcoat. And I am this kind of human, but I’m also just super sensitive and soft and a storm of feelings on the inside. I guess it’s fitting I’m a Cancer, because it really fits--tough, hard exterior protecting the soft, buttery delicacy inside. Times like this remind me just how soft I am and ugh. I hate it.

Without getting too much into it and divulging too much detail, boyfriend and I are in a l o t of debt. Like, a substantial amount. Several thousand dollars. It’s bad, Brenda. Well, now that I’m working, my boyfriend has really like, gotten on my case about making sure that I pay him back what I owe. I get that he’s stressed. I get that most of the debt is his. But he tried to stake a claim on almost 25% of my monthly income without even consulting me first. I asked for how long and he said “for at least the first 18 months.”

....wait, hold on--18 months?!

So he hasn’t itemized everything he’s qualified as a loan for me yet, but apparently, he hasn’t been helping me out in my time of unemployment just out of the goodness of his heart. I really have NO clue what he thinks I owe him and what he’s just been arbitrarily adding to my tab. So there’s that. Not to mention, I still have my own monthly payments to make towards my own debts. Plus bills. Plus food.

And I get it, he’s super stressed about money, so I want to try to commit to pulling my weight and easing his mind. I don’t outright agree, but I don’t disagree to his proposition either. Then this happened.

On Friday, he told me his parents have pitched the idea of giving him a loan. It would be a clear loan, with interest, but it would be enough to pay off all his debt and square away everything for him. Awesome, right? So I say “great! That would mean we could focus on just paying my stuff down so I can catch up!” And in my mind, I’m already thinking of everything that would mean: savings, comfort, stability, good credit, and soon, my own car--but he dashes that with a stern “well, I’d still want you to pay me back.”

.....oh. oh okay.

So....you get to wipe your slate clean and find yourself in a sudden state of NO financial distress whatsoever, other than normal bills.....and you want me, someone who has been unemployed for 9 months, depleted their savings, has no available credit, someone who JUST started working again and has their own things they have to pay towards and will never, EVER be given the same opportunity where my Mommy and Daddy can just swing in and fix things for me, to line your pockets and make sure I don’t get the same chance to dig myself out? okay.

It just hurt my feelings. When he and I first started dating, he was unemployed. Like, he was a total busta and we both acknowledge it. I was working a really cushy job at the time so I paid for everything. I didn’t mind. When I have a couple bucks in my pocket and it’s enough to feed me fancy or feed me and a friend junk, I’m gonna go the junk route every time. If I have it to give, I don’t mind giving. I love it. It makes me feel good to do things for people and just make them smile. And never once, for those first 6 months we dated, I never asked him for a dime back.

But here he is, clinging more to money than me. Because of his parents, he has never wanted for anything in his life, and if it comes down to it, he will never know what it means to struggle because they can bail him out. Me? When I was unemployment, my parents would regularly ask me for loans. They asked me for loans when the unemployment and savings ran out. I won’t ever get that same kind of opportunity. He’s going to be comfortable one way or another, and he’s literally trying to Scrooge me into a lifestyle that will keep my head just underwater until I’m probably in my 40s. It just really opened my eyes about him and the way he sees me and certain things.

And then this evening, something unrelated happened that ended up giving me some clarity about this whole situation. He called me and told me his parents have tickets to Hamilton next weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. His dad was going to take his brother on Saturday, and his mom thought it might be nice to take my boyfriend with her on Sunday. Boyfriend told her that he has a social engagment, but Erica loves Hamilton and would love to see it. So she said she’d run it by his dad, who is the actual ticket holder. So I’m like, RAD! I CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A REAL SHOT TO SEE THIS GIG!

welp, about an hour later, his dad texts him. The long and short of it was, ha, no, all four tickets are claimed and if boyfriend wasn’t going, it was never up for debate that someone else would go in his place. He would just keep them. “Dad is just weirdly stingy about some things,” boyfriend said as he shrugged it off. As is his right. They’re his tickets and he can do what he wants with them. I have no delusions of entitlement at all. It would have been difficult to go anyway. But like....dude, you’re already seeing it the night before? Why not share that with people, not just people but FAMILY, who can’t afford to go and would really love to because they love the show? I know I would if it were me. That would be my first thought.

But then it finally occurred to me--this family does not consider generosity a virtue. It isn’t a value for them. They didn’t teach it. They didn’t encourage it. They were so cozy and comfortable in their modest wealth and prosperity that it never occurred to them that it might be nice to share when you can. I know all about sharing and sacrifice. I was forced to share my favorite toys with my baby cousin even when I just wanted a few things for myself. I was forced to sacrifice my childhood so that my mom could have her emotional breakdown. I had to go without things so many people take for granted, like nice toys, nice clothes, trips, and other things growing up because my parents were too busy living their lives for them. It taught me that when I have something special to appreciate it. And if someone else didn’t have the fortune of knowing what that was like, give, and give freely with an open heart. It felt good to do for myself what was never done for me. My boyfriend was never given the same chance to learn this.

It’s not a big deal, in the grand scheme of things. It’s just another thing I know about him now. It was just a hard learned lesson that not everyone values the same principles I do, or sees the joy in giving to others. Not everyone gets satisfaction from just doing something nice that would mean a lot someone when it really wouldn’t hurt them at all. It’s sad, and it hurts my sensitive little heart to see the world this way. I don’t want to have to wake up tomorrow and know that I’m going to have to fortify my armor so that this can’t happen again, and that I can’t just naively assume someone would automatically be programmed to do the same generous and kind things I would do. But that’s life. This is growing up, and as the rose color fades from my vision a little more, I’m just going to have to remember that people aren’t basically kind. It’s a learned concept, and it’s one that a lot of people I love are ignorant to.

ALTON ADVENTURES BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

So...because its Friday and I usually update AA on Fridays, I figured it was time to make my big announcement!

And that is...that Alton Adventures is changing. A little bit.

Am I rebooted the comic again? No haha! Once I get back to it it shall continue as normal but some characters may look a bit different going forward.

Who may those characters be?

Sir Gareth Nemesis

Why is he changing?

Sir Nemesis’ change is actually less drastic than one may think. For starters, he needed a design rehaul. I wanted his armor to be more simple, easier to draw but with still details that could tie him to Nemesis (the green eye, the arms, the light pink details instead of inconsistent tentacles). I also had an issue where his hair was too close to his skin color, so to combat this I turned him into a ginger! His eye color also changed from gold to green, another thing to visually tie him more to Nemesis.

So yes, I changed Sir Nem’s design because I was unhappy with it. His armor was never drawn consistently ever, I was constantly changing the tone of his hair and his skin so that was inconsistent. I want my designs to be more consistent and polished going forward.

What else is different? Well, you can probably tell he looks much more serious, like in older pictures I drew of him. Why is that? Well, I was kind of..honestly tired of his role as the “dad character tm” that he kind of turned out to be. It almost undermined his true characterization and turned him into a typical over the top exaggerated hero character. And I started to realize how much I missed his original concept. A battle hardened solider that was filled with regret and remorse, who heavily sympathizes with the plight of the alien he’s locked in combat with. He’s still much a father however, as he has a biological son and adopts an alien who mimics his likeness (hence another reason he’s a ginger now as his Nemesis daughter always was one). He’s just returned to his roots as a character. Because I felt that characterization was a unique one for the Nemesis ride. And it was an idea I really loved. Sir Nemesis actually WAS one of my favorite characters...I wanted his role to be much larger than it is in the comics. I don’t blame anyone for him becoming a joke, I did initially kind of fuel the fire for it, I’m just hoping that its not to late to get back to the Sir Nemesis I originally wanted to write. And of course, all my characters are still meme and joke worthy. I just want to tackle much more serious issues with my comic and show the more serious side of some of my characters and don’t want there entire existence to be a joke Mr.S can’t have too many folks 1 uping him in the laughs department! I guess to note with this change that his original voice claim has also been solidified as well. It’s a more somber and serious tone that I feel fits him as a character.

Final Notes

Sir Nemesis is a character that I have a lot of thought put into. His backstory is tragic, emotional, and his character is complex and he’s not the perfect hero people might image him as. I plan for his Arc to follow the Fireworks arc in the comic, as well as I am planning to start some more text heavy short stories about how the Secret Weapons became Secret Weapons (which I will likely call Secret Weapon Short Stories hehe) and will be writing his first. Also a very important thing i must address. Yes, the eye on his chest moves. (I have a gif but it doesn’t want to work on this post Ill have it up later ><)

Erica Annabelle Cloud

ooof okay this is a huge one. Confession time. Erica was always my least favorite character. Why? She just had...no character. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with her, her design felt phoned in and there because I needed an Air/Galatica character, (yes, she is changing as her Galatica stage too). She was just. not well thought out. She had a dual identity but I think a lot of people didn’t pick up on that? She felt like a Rita 2.0 as just a nice and friendly optimistic person and literally had 0 backstory. Originally she was supposed to have had some sort of accident that turned her into Galatica and she had memory loss and forgotten about when she was Air, yeah it was a mess. That eventually just turned into Nebula Corona being a character she made up (bc her one trait was that she was into space and wrote a lot) that she played as when her rides themeing changed.

She was just..barely a character and her design was abysmal (Her Galatica suit was okay but her Air outfit was an afterthought) She needed a massive visual upgrade. A sleeker flight suit that makes more sense (I used a ref or two for this design!) A different face shape to help her stand out more, my signature they wear glasses they have dot eyes look. Long, wispy, flowing hair to resemble those trails planes make. A bit more lanky and tall. And let me tell you I LOVE her design now. It looks so much more unique and you can just SEE she has so much more character now! As for her characterization im going full into her being a nerd. A very tech nerd at that! She designed her suit to help her fly at her best, and eventually will be the one that designs and builds all her Galatica tech! Her Galatica design hasn’t been done yet, mostly bc I wanted to focus on her current comic canon design, but not much would change I feel with her upgrade anyways! She is effectively the brains of the group, and the others often turn to her for plans of attack when dealing with a situation, or innovative solutions to problems! I have yet to get a voice claim for her, but im sure one will come to me soon enough!

Final Notes

Erica/Nebula was a character I struggled to connect with. Everyone else had Airs that were either super plot important, or just much more cool and creative in general. I felt, that with my Air/Galatica she was just there, and I wanted her to be more. So a full character rehaul was done with her and it makes me so happy. She feels much more fleshed out, better designed, and I’m super excited to do more stuff with her, and hopefully you will all see her much more now that I’m a lot happier with her as a character! <3

Welp that's the end of the updates....wait. Hold on. I have something written here. What could this be? Oh! I remember now!

Black Hole, AkA Beatrix, will be joining the MAIN CAST of Alton Adventures!

When I drew my Black Hole design, I knew she was something special. She stands out compared to a lot of my characters, and her design SCREAMS main character. While the biggest main roles will still be held by Mr. S and Rita, I wanted to add another non SW coaster to the main crew, and because Canonically Corkscrew is MIA, Black Hole seemed like a fitting addition to the main crew! As she isn’t human, a species literally only referred to as Black Holes, I thought making her a main character and giving her a big arc would help flesh out the reality of non humans in Alton Adventures! Her powers and design and character and personality are just too fun to shove her into the background. I feel that adding her to the main cast gives them not only another character to support them, but a closer friend! You will all see her much more in the future for certain!

Well that's about it! In terms of comic updates themselves...its still going to be hiatus as long as I’m being swamped with school work. I hope you all understand. I’ll try to squeeze in updates over the breaks I have IF im not working on assignments for class. As I also said, I wanna do short stories as well, to expand the world and explain it better, as a comic will only develop the world so quickly and lots of you have tons of questions! I also wanna do something animated at some point, that’s my dream. I’ve ALSO mentioned to some people about merch, likely going for making stickers first since that's simple. I got an excited reaction for that so I’ll come up with designs for them soon! I just wanna do a lot with Alton Adventures, because I know how much it means to people, and of course it means so much. Goodness I really need to actually get to this park, I look quiet silly constantly gushing over a themepark I’ve never been to all the time XP That all aside I thank you all for sticking by me. I promise that even if I don’t do comic updates as frequently during the school year, I’ll still work to push out as much AA content I can outside of that! I’m always open to suggestions to what you guys want to see! ALSO, working on a big google doc spreadsheet with info on all the characters I’ll be posting when its more completed! So be on the lookout for that!

Again thank you to everyone who’s stuck with me through this, Your support makes me feel nothing but proud of what I’ve created. These characters may have been created out of something some may consider silly or odd, but the only thing that matters to me if that I can make at least someone happy with what I create.

2.03, Bad Moon Rising

Welp I accidentally took a month-long hiatus but I’m back! This semester has been kicking my ass, so I’ll do the best I can with getting one of these up each week, but go easy on me.

Damon, Stefan, and Elena convince Rick to help them go through Isobel’s research at Duke University – which is all still there, because apparently her only being missing and not dead means she gets to keep her office?? Tenure is one hell of a drug. The plan is to find anything on the Lockwood family, because for some reason Damon feels threatened by their very existence, and also Katherine.

“So are you sure you wanna do this?” Stefan asks. “Which part?” Elena retorts, pouting while she packs her road trip stuff. “Digging through my birth mother’s life work or –” she pauses, says with perfect derisive scorn, “going to Duke with Damon?” Stefan snorts a little, answers, “Either? Both?” “Well, I’m sure about the first part,” Elena answers, “but then again Rick is a good buffer, so we can bond in our anti-Damon solidarity. I wish you were coming, though.” “You know what?” says Stefan, “Why don’t we hold off a couple days? Wait until Caroline’s less of a danger and then I can go with you.” “It’s okay that I’m going right?” Elena asks. “And be honest because if it’s not then I can just stay here and we can take care of Caroline!” She’s warming to the idea as she suggests it, but Stefan says, “No, listen, I want you to go, okay, I do. You have questions about your lineage, about Katherine, and look, I’m not gonna let the fact that Damon is going keep you from an opportunity to get some answers.” Elena nods, looks at him, says: “You hate it though.”

“I hate it,” Stefan confirms.

“But I love you,” he says. “I love you, too,” Elena answers. They kiss. And with that, this very ambiguous conversation is over; does Stefan hate it because he doesn’t trust Damon (as established in 1.22)? or because Damon killed Jeremy and he’s siding with Elena in her unforgiveness? Why must they go to Duke now? Why is Damon going? Is Alaric really in anti-Damon solidarity with them, because last I checked they were on fine terms, and we never got a Jeremy-murder reaction from him so why assume otherwise? Where IS Jeremy? Is Damon giving him whittling lessons yet? So many questions left unanswered. Ah well.

Downstairs, Alaric and Jenna are being Super Mature about the fact that they’re interacting: Rick makes an excuse about how busy he’s been, Jenna tells him she’s grateful he’s giving Elena this connection to her birth mother. I’m proud of them both, but I’m especially proud of Jenna; Rick offers her an apology for their relationship being start and stop and says “Maybe once I”, and Jenna cuts him off with an “Uhhh, no. Don’t do that,” she says, not unkindly. “Not the half apology, maybe, hope-for-the-future thing.” He smiles wryly. “Do what you need to do, okay?” Jenna says. YOU GO, JENNA!! YOU ARE KIND AND PATIENT BUT YOU WILL NOT BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF!! Elena asks her if she’s okay as she heads out the door; “Yeah,” Jenna answers, “just, men and their baggage!”

Now, this next scene is absolute gold. Damon leans against the car, says while pouting mightily, “Sorry you can’t come too, Stef.” Stefan ignores him, but Elena throws her bag into the car extra violently and glares.

Stefan tries to sidetrack her: “Call me if you need anything.” “Oh,” Damon says, inserting himself again, “I’ll take really good care of her.”

And Elena!! While maintaining eye contact with him!!! Grabs Stefan around the neck and makes out with him. Is this fucking Twilight?? I don’t know but it’s ridiculous and spiteful and I love it.

And then: they both turn around and look at Damon again? Stefan kind of…smacks his lips???

“Okay, time to go,” Damon says. Having adequately antagonized the person who literally killed Jeremy because Elena chose Stefan over him, they pile into the car and boogie on out.

Stefan sits down with Bonnie to convince her to make Caroline a daylight ring; it’s important, he says, to keep Caroline in contact with the people that connect her to her humanity, and that requires being able to go out in the sun. Bonnie’s not so sure she can trust new vampire-Car; Stefan says, “Then trust me.”

Sighhhhh.

In the car, Damon reaches back and appears to jiggle Elena’s knee?? “How you doin’ back there?” he asks. “You know, this whole pretending to hate me thing is getting a little silly.” Alaric, stuck in the middle of a classic Damon/Elena mess-around yet again, scoffs. “I don’t think she’s pretending. You did kill her brother.” “There is a HUGE asterisk next to that statement,” Damon protests, “he came back to life.” “Yeah,” says Elena flatly, “thanks to a ring you didn’t know he was wearing.” “Why are you so sure I didn’t know?” Damon says. “Did you?” Elena says. “Yes,” he says. Her eyes narrow; “You’re lying,” she says, unsurprised. “Elena!” Damon says, “I saw the ring! It’s a big, tacky thing, it’s hard to miss.”

Bonnie makes Caroline a daylight ring. “So I don’t get to choose the ring I wear the rest of my life?” Caroline complains. No, Car, of course you don’t!! Haven’t you ever heard of engagement rings? But for serious, I think this line is on purpose. This is the beginning of a love story between Caroline and vampirism. Also, this is her “skeptical about spell-casting face”:

Over at Duke, Alaric’s hair is doing something awful.

Vanessa, a research assistant, gets them the keys to Isobel’s office, and then attempts to shoot Elena with a crossbow. Three guesses how that turns out.

Yep, Damon vamps over and takes the arrow for her. Last episode he spared Caroline for her and she stopped Bonnie from killing him; now he’s risked his life to save hers. And what do you know? While Alaric is subduing the unfortunate academic,

Elena’s fallen to her knees at Damon’s side to check on him. This episode has a bunch of purposeful callbacks to Bloodlines – they’re on a road trip, looking for info on Elena’s ancestors, Damon steps in to save her from danger and then she acts worried for his well-being. But this is where the similarity ends. When we return from the commercial, Damon is nagging at Elena to pull the arrow out of his back and she’s making faces like she wants to pull it out and then immediately re-stake him with it. She pulls it out, and then while he’s yelling in pain reaches over his shoulder to drop it, presumably just to be annoying.

Damon blows out a breath, raises his eyebrows (you thought I forgot the eyebrows didn’t you), and announces, “that bitch is deaaaaad.” Elena’s eyes widen – how dare he talk about killing people when he’s trying to make amends for killing her brother – and she says, “Uh, you’re not gonna kill her.” He adopts a weird sultry voice: “Watch me.”

“You touch her and I swear I will never speak to you again,” Elena says.

“What makes you think that has any power over me?” Damon challenges. Elena blinks.

“Because I took an arrow in the back for you?” Damon says, mockingly. He slings an arm over her shoulder, which she immediately pushes off with disgust; “You are severely overestimating yourself,” he says, gleeful. “Right,” says Elena, “I forgot I was speaking to a psychotic mind who snaps and kills people impulsively. Fine. Go ahead. Do whatever you want.”

“You’re trying to manipulate me!” Damon says indignantly. “If by manipulate you mean tell the truth, okay,” Elena says, “guilty.” Damon, for whom manipulation is all tied up with love, kind of stares at her lips.

“Okay!” says Elena, and makes her exit.

Archery-happy research-assistant tells Rick she freaked because she thought Elena was Katherine Pierce, and then everyone digs through Isobel’s giant office holy crap how has Duke not given this office to someone else?? Damon makes a crack about Vanessa wanting to see him naked, and Elena tells her that he can be a first-rate jackass. Damon smiles; this is familiar, this is the way she talked to Jenna about him before everything happened. A bit later, he comes up behind Elena and tells her it’s too bad they’re not friends anymore, because he knows something she doesn’t know that would help her find more about Katherine. “Now who’s manipulating who?” she retorts. Vanessa explains the Aztec legend of the Curse of the Sun and Moon, which will become more or less significant later, and that werewolves in this mythology are hardwired to hunt vampires, who can be killed by a single bite.

Stefan takes Caroline wabbit hunting. He explains to her that vampirism amplifies natural behaviors and traits. “So you’re saying that now I’m basically an insecure, neurotic control-freak…on crack?” she asks.

“Well, I wasn’t gonna say it like that,” Stefan says lightly, and then offers to go with her to Tyler’s swimming hole party to meet up with Matt. Seriously, they both shine in this episode. Stefan’s “that-guy” awkwardness is perfectly foiled by Caroline’s sincerity.

They literally….cribbed this shot……..from a Twilight movie

Anyway…

“Why are you looking at him with your serious vampire look?” Caroline asks.

“My what – my serious vampire look?” Stefan repeats, aghast. “Mmhmm,” says Caroline, “I mean, it’s different than your worried vampire look.”

“Neither of which stray too far from your ‘hey! It’s Tuesday’ look.”

“Oh, okay, I get it,” Stefan says, “you think I’m too serious.” “Well,” says Caroline, “I wasn’t gonna say it like thaaaat.”

Did you notice how many emotions Stefan expressed in that conversation? I’m so proud of him. Real Eleanor from The Good Place flirts with Matt until Caroline compels her away; Matt gets angry at Caroline’s jealousy-drama and wanders off, and Stefan gets angry that Caroline used her compulsion for shallow reason. “So now I have magnified jealousy issues?” she says. “I might as well have stayed dead, my whole personality is killing me.” Stefan finds this freaking delightful:

“Shut up,” she tells him.

They hang out at the party together until it gets dark and everyone starts to pack up (on Mason’s orders), and Stefan tells Caroline to go talk to Matt. Caroline promises Matt no more drama, and they scamper off into the woods to kiss. This coincides with Stefan getting a call from Elena to fill him in on all the new werewolf lore – he looks around for Caroline as soon as he hears a werewolf bite can kill a vampire, but she’s nowhere to be found. Mason Lockwood is in the middle of transforming into a werewolf. Welcome, A plot.

Vanessa informs Elena that a doppelganger is a living, breathing double of oneself, who usually torments the person they look like, tries to undo their life. “More things we already know,” Elena says flatly. “I just wanna know why we look alike.” “Headscratcher, isn’t it?” says Damon, from over by the bookcase. “Do you know something or are you just being yourself?” Elena asks with more sass than you would think would fit in her tiny body. “Well, if I knew anything, I’m not gonna tell you,” Damon says, “not with that attitude.” Alaric looks like he needs a drink, but also a little bit like he’s trying not to laugh?

“That’s good, Damon,” Elena says, dropping the attitude down a notch, “and that’s coming from someone who wants to be my friend. Friends don’t manipulate friends, they help each other.”

This does not compute.

Back in the woods, Tyler gets the brush-off from Real Eleanor, Mason-wolf jumps out of his car at Stefan, Caroline bites Matt, and everyone runs around a lot. Thank goodness it’s not more complicated than that, because this recap is getting really long.

Elena refuses to admit that Alaric’s car is locked and stands fighting with the door handle like a petulant child; it’s been a long day. Damon arrives as the shining knight and unlocks it, and then opens her door for good measure. Then, good deed done, he gets all up in her personal space.

“You’re not going to be able to hate me forever,” he says. She rolls her eyes, says, “Can we just go?” He sighs and hands over a text labeled “Petrova”, for Katherine’s real name: Katerina Petrova. “Let me know what you find, I’m very curious myself,” he tells her; he’s trusting her with the truth, trusting that she’ll share it. She goes to move past him, he says, “You have every right to hate me. I understand. But you hated me before and we became friends.”

“It would suck,” he admits, “if that was gone forever.”

“So,” he says, with forced lightness, “is it?” She meets his eyes, but her face is more closed than it’s ever been. “Have I lost you forever?” Damon asks, like it’s a joke, like it doesn’t matter or like it’s impossible.

“Thank you for the book, Damon,” she says. He gives the smallest of nods, and motions her into the car.

Caroline compels away Matt’s memories of her biting him, and then she and Stefan have a heart-to-heart about their human significant others. “If I followed my own advice I would have walked out on Elena a long time ago,” Stefan says. “You think you should’ve?” Caroline asks. “I know I should have,” Stefan says, “I just can’t.”

Tyler confirms with his (very naked) uncle that he was in fact the wolf that almost killed all of them. Another secret, out. I’m resisting making a very stupid joke here, but I’ll probably succumb and post it separately later.

Caroline walks into the Grille and purposely starts shit with Real Eleanor so that Matt walks out on her. “So what, are you like, breaking up with me?” she calls after him. “Yeah,” he says, wearily, “yeah I guess that’s what I’m doing.” He waits, expecting her to fight him, but she only stares back and lifts her chin defiantly. Caroline is strong enough to walk away, and kind enough to let Matt think that he knows why. As, @itspileofgoodthings pointed out in these tags, she did what Stefan couldn’t do.

Having warned Vanessa against getting caught up in all the supernatural nonsense, Alaric realizes he doesn’t want to get totally caught up in it either, and is able to make good on his half apology maybe hope for the future.

Damon trails Elena up to her porch, exclaiming, “Road trips work well for us!” “This doesn’t mean things are back to the way they used to be, Damon,” says Elena. “Oh, come on,” Damon says, “you know I chipped a little bit off of your wall of hatred.” Elena turns to look at him, says seriously, “I need to know the truth.”

“When you broke Jeremy’s neck, did you know he was wearing the ring?” she asks.

“No,” he says, his voice so strained. “No, I didn’t.”

“Katherine really pissed me off, and I snapped, and I –” He stops, looks at her intently. “I got lucky with the ring,” he admits. “And I don’t know what I would’ve done if he wasn’t wearing it.”

She nods, slightly. “Elena,” he says, “I’m sorry.” She nods again, says, “Thank you for being honest with me. And the answer to your question, about our friendship?”

“Is yes…you have lost me forever.”

She turns to go into the house. “But you knew that already, didn’t you?” Damon says, bitter. She pauses, he accuses, “You used me today.” She looks at him, unrepentant.

“You had information about Katherine that I needed to know.” “I thought friends don’t manipulate friends,” he replies. She looks back at him, her response left unspoken: they’re not friends, and so it doesn’t matter. He swallows, tells her, “You and Katherine have a lot more in common than just your looks.”

Both women stood on this porch with him and pretended to be something they weren’t so that he would pour his heart out to them, and then turned around and rejected him. Living, breathing mirror of oneself indeed.

Katherine wakes Caroline, tells her not to be frightened. “We’re gonna have so much fun together.”

Music Moments: A Fine Frenzy’s “Ashes and Wine” plays over the final scenes, and wow that song doesn’t fuck around: “don't know what to do anymore / I've lost the only love worth fighting for”, “is there a chance / a fragment of light at the end of the tunnel / a reason to fight? / is there a chance you may change your mind / or are we ashes and wine?”
