#a hilarious movie with the right touch of 🥺

[theperfectrose]

4 things we need to remember about “The Marvels”:

1. Kamala is the cutest, “needs to be protected at all costs” baby 🥹

2. Carol is such a sweety 🥰

3. Nick “Are you really praying right now? Well don’t stop. We need all the help we can get. Amen!” Fury is the man 😂 (Peak humor with each sentence)

4. There’s a freaking world where people sing TO TALK! (The best part of the movie if you’re asking me)

Hi Mona <33

You're so cooool (and im proud of you in case you havent heard yet!!!)

Okay so exams are killing me even though they actually haven't STARTED yet its just the prep and the stress yknow!!! Anyway you also know I'm very much a slut for Rydal and the way you write him bc uhh he's just so fcuking fine and I love your writing!!

I know you aren't doing drabbles right now but would you spare this desperate and tired soul a few cutie pie Ryda hcs. Just a few smol cute ones abt his soft caring and hnghgnghgng during the high stress school seasons (yeah im projecting whatever.)

ANYWAY!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

-Clem <333

Hi cutie

Thank you 🥺 and WDYM COOL LMAOO

Exams and exam prep can be super stressful, hope you’re taking care of yourself sweetie. I can definitely spare some Rydal HCs, and I know @campingwiththecharmings @xbellaxcarolinax and @melodygatesauthor have been asking me to drop stuff for our fave nepo baby hehehe

Random Rydal HCs:

Going out for something as simple as a drive isn’t just going for a drive with Rydal. The man puts on cologne and special sunglasses that he says work better for driving but you know it’s bullshit, he just thinks he looks cooler with them on in his vintage and unnecessarily expensive car.

Is the boyfriend that puts his hand on your thigh while driving. Buys you a drinkie drink and critiques your DJ skills loudly and rudely.

A trip to the mall usually means you have to block off a whole afternoon for it. Rydal tries on more clothes than you thought was possible, requesting certain cuts from the retail workers that you don’t even recognize. He definitely tries to fuck you in the changing rooms when the staff leaves you alone, claiming he could make it worth it for you to sit through his little fashion show.

You let him.

The first time you take Rydal thrift shopping he refuses to touch anything in the store. You think he’s mad at you for how little he speaks and how he glared at you when you ask him if the top you’re holding up would look good on you.

To make up for it, he forces you to get a pedicure with him. You thought he was joking but he’s dead serious, his face growing more irritated when you tell him you’ve never had one, opting to save your money and take care of them yourself. He scoffs and essentially drags you by the wrist (why does that action alone have your knees knocking together—) to the salon and picking out your colour for you. You feel quite pretty after you can’t deny but the memory of his face dropping never fails to make you laugh.

Playing board games with Rydal meant screaming matches that ended with the board game toppled over and his lips pressed against yours angrily

Movie nights found you both ripping on the movie choice of the night, commenting almost through the whole thing and making claims of what you’d change, what he thinks would’ve been a smarter decision of the main characters, taking sides and arguing them whole heartedly as if the people in the films and their actions had a direct connection to your lives

Sometimes Rydal would come over while you were in the shower. Sometimes he’d join you, finding it hilarious that you thought he was a serial killer but soon distracting you by dropping to his knees for you.

Sleepovers found you either on opposite sides of the bed or breathing in each other’s skin, arms holding the other close, legs tangled. The nights you spent laying with him were usually the sweetest mornings. Sometimes he’d wake you up with kisses, borderline ticklish movements, not letting up even while you squealed for him to stop. He didn’t let up until he pulled peals and peals of laughter from you, sharing syrupy kisses after and causing early morning butterflies to stir as your heart swelled with affection.

These were extremely random and scatter brained and I’m sorry because I really should be sleeping but I love him so much and I miss him and I promise I’ll work on my WIP soon ❤️ love ya

I am so rusty at writing that I hesitate to ever talk about writing things, because I almost never finish them, and even if I did, I'm not sure I would share anything publicly right now lol sob, but I'd still like to try to write something for the KPTS Prompt Fest. So I wish to once again use polls to make my decisions for me! (Thank u all for ur help in the tv poll btw; having a great time w/ Theory of Love & Little Women!) Tl;dr: Help break me out of my decision paralysis and choose one thing for me to focus on writing! (Detailed prompts after the poll)

Excerpts of full prompts beneath the cut.

1. Vegas/Porsche arranged marriage:

Bonus points for Vegas resenting Porsche for being the son his father has always wanted (or in the version where Gun's already dead, for stealing his birthright), and plotting little schemes before their marriage to ruin him and the like, and Porsche disarming him the more they get to know each other. Extra bonus points if Vegas betrays him anyway, just like in canon, but the fondness is still real (for both of them), and makes it hurt more on both sides.

2. Vegas wakes up main family heir: Vegas goes to sleep wishing, not for the first time, that he'd been born to the main family. He wakes up in an alternate universe where his grandfather made Gun the main family heir, not Korn. Gun is not a better father in this timeline. 3. Vegaskinn arranged marriage: Korn strong arms the minor family into a marriage agreement to, he claims, ease the tensions between them, but actually because he would like to collect Vegas and Macau under his roof, like chess pieces or pokemon.

It would be fun if this were set after Vegas's big betrayal, as his punishment, instead of being blacklisted and going to the safehouse, but it can also be something AU/pre-canon. The hilarious idea popped into my head of Korn having already arranged Tankhun/Porsche and Kim/Chay marriages long before he decided Kinn/blood-related nephew should happen. Alternatively, maybe Kim/Chay and Kinn/Porsche as preexisting relationships make Korn confident in his hold on the Kittisawats, and he assumes Kinn/Vegas will be a loveless Emperor/Empress marriage up against Porsche as Kinn's most beloved noble consort. 4. Porsche and Big bodyswap: Cue Big experiencing the exquisite pain of Kinn looking at him with adoration and want, but it's not actually HIM he's looking at, and fighting himself on what to do when Kinn wants to touch him. Cue Porsche having to get along with Ken and pretend he loves doing nothing but shittalking himself all day. Cue Porsche picking up on the fact that Chan is completely gone for him (for Big) after years of Big missing all the signals? Comedy, angst, any ships you want!

5. Tankhun and Kim start hearing each other's thoughts, and can't turn it off. It's actually worse when they're not in the same physical vicinity, they start hearing more of what the other is thinking and worse, so they have to start spending a lot of time together to keep the thoughts calmer and less invasive. This means Kim joining Khun for horror movie night, and yes, he does have to dress up, and Khun joining Kim…on tour? Can he do it? And what do they learn about each other when they are physically separated? What lurks in the deeps of their psychologies?

RAPE/NON-CON WARNING FOR THE REST OF THESE

6. Vegaspete, puppyplay. Vegas makes Pete wear puppy ears and a puppy tail butt plug and bark. Totally up to you if it's noncon at the safehouse or consensual after that.

7. Vegas sex pollens Kinn: Kinn is at a very important professional function surrounded by very important professional contacts when Vegas, who is also at said function, slips a drug with aphrodisiac properties into his food/drink/expensive cologne/whatever. Kinn valiantly tries to maintain his self-control, but he's only human, and before the end of the night someone — or even a team of someones — ends up having to somehow fuck Kinn until he cries while not giving any rival crime families any inkling. (@vegaseatsass note: I would 100% write this as Vegas planning to leave Kinn alone to deal with his situation, hoping he will fail but counting on Kinn superhumanly outlasting the drug, and then getting possessive about it and rushing in to take control the second it looks like Kinn's going to capitulate to unworthy outsiders. Apologies in advance to the anon that I am a Vegaskinn sicko and not a Kinn whump sicko; I hope they get this filled by a gangbang connoisseur!)

8. Vegaspete handcuffed together: Vegas and Pete are kidnapped at the auction. They wake up naked and handcuffed together. Vegas makes the most of it.

Requested by @mgkisdaddytho

"can u plzzz write a story about losing virginity with rook but then like super fluff aftercare🥺🥰"

A/N: this is the first request I've ever done so go easy on me 😅🥰

Warning: swearing, no condom (be safe kids), losing virginity

Ok, so your best friend kissed you. It could be worse. It could’ve been in front of a large group of people. Oh wait, it was. It could’ve been a drunken dare. Oh wait, it was. It didn’t have to mean anything to you. Oh wait, it did. You didn’t have to make it uncomfortable by running off a hot mess. Oh wait, strike four, you did. If it had been anyone else in the room, you wouldn’t have cared but it wasn’t anyone else, it was Rook. The guy you’ve been secretly in love with for months since you first met him. You know that no one else knew and it wasn’t really Baze’s fault for making the dare in the first place. No one except Ashleigh, your other friend and the group ‘mum’. She kept everyone in line, on tour and at home.

You couldn’t even blame Rook for not saying no. He didn’t know that every time he brags about banging a different girl it slowly broke your soul more and more. That was your issue that you were dealing with. He didn’t need to know that in the months you’ve known him, you haven’t had a single date because you are so head over heels in love with him that no other man comes close.

It's not just Rook’s good looks that attract you to him. Sure, he’s toned, muscular body is nothing to overlook, he works hard for his body. However, his personality is just as attractive. He’s smart and hilarious and his taste in music is second to none. You can not only sit and talk to him for hours, but you can also just hang out and watch a movie or he can lie next to you on your bed, scrolling through his phone while you read a book. You’re both just comfortable in each other’s company that you can spend hours together and it still feels like a new friendship. No, you don’t need to ruin that perfect friendship by sharing your feelings.

There’s a light tap at the door and it slowly opens to reveal Rook, sheepishly rubbing his neck. “Are you ok?” he asks, slowly striding across the room to sit beside you on the bed.

“Yeah, I’m fine. It was just getting a bit loud down there and I needed a break,” you lie through your teeth.

“So it had nothing to do with me kissing you on a dare?” Damn, he’s good.

Before you can say anything more, his lips are on yours again and you’re completely taken away. You gasp at his touch and he smiles against your lips. You melt into his touch almost immediately and he leads you up the bed until you’re lying on your back, your head resting comfortably on a pillow. His hands roam your body and you heat at his touch. He leads his lips from your lips, down your jawline and to your neck. He nips and sucks at your neck and you moan at the feelings of pleasure pooling between your thighs. He sucks hard on the spot just below your ear. Is he leaving a hickey? He follows the line of your neck until he reaches the swell of your breasts, predominant in your low-cut tee. He kisses gently at your cleavage. He pulls the fabric down so your right breast is exposed and he encapsulates your nipple in between his lips, sucking and licking at it until you’re squirming under his mouth. His hand slips up your skirt, between your thighs and rubs your slit gently.

“So wet,” he moans against your nipple.

He turns his attention to the other breast before finally running his mouth lower. He lifts your top so that your stomach is exposed and peppers your skin with kisses and nips. Once he reaches your naval, he runs his tongue towards the button of your skirt. He looks up at you and you nod with approval. He removes your skirt and panties and appraises your body with his eyes.

“So beautiful baby,” he coos and your insides turn to liquid.

Baby? Did he just call me that? You think to yourself but you don’t have long to dwell and his tongue runs down your slit and teases your hole. You almost buck yourself right off the bed. Rook hooks his arms around your thighs to hold you in place as he continues his assault against your most sensitive area. Without warning he dips a finger inside you and you cry out in pain. He immediately pulls back and sits up on his knees to look at you questioningly.

“What’s wrong?” he asks softly, concern clear on his face.

“Nothing, nothing. It’s just I’ve never been…fingered before,” you whisper the word like it’s dirty.

“Yeah but, you’ve had a guy in you before, so what’s the difference?” you don’t say anything, you stare at an invisible thread on your top. “Y/N, you’ve had sex before, right?” you can’t look at him as you shake your head with embarrassment. “Oh,” is all Rook says.

A tense silence settles over the two of you. You feel flustered and uncomfortable as the silence grows between you. You want to know what he’s thinking but you’re too scared to ask him so instead you just sit there and allow the noise from downstairs to drown it out. You don’t want to be the first one to say something because you don’t really know what to say to make the awkwardness go away. Rook takes the burden off you.

“I could be your first,” he whispers. You look up at him and he’s watching you intently.

“You…you would do that for me?” you ask, so shocked by the gesture that you almost throw yourself at him. In the back of your mind, a little voice is telling you that this is a bad idea but you push it down. Do now, think about consequences later.

“Of course I would, you’re my ride or die,” your heart flutters like it does every time he says that to you.

You know it means something completely different to him as it does to you but it still warms your insides just the same. You nod your head in agreement and Rook smiles at you.

“Lie down, baby,” he instructs you and you lie back.

He is between your legs again but this time he is using only his mouth and it is heaven. You haven’t really fooled around with guys because they usually want it to end the same way and you’ve just never been ready for that with anyone, besides Rook. At least with Rook, you know it with mean something, even if only to you. His tongue is flicking your swollen clit and you moan as you tangle your fingers into his hair. You tug and grind as he sucks on the bud of nerves. Your legs tremble as you feel that familiar knot in the pit of your stomach that you get when you use your fingers. Suddenly, you're seeing stars as an orgasm crashes over you. Rook's tongue stills as your thighs tighten around his head. You release him as you come down from your high. He stands and begins to strip his clothes, one article at a time.

You take the moment to allows your eyes to rake over his body. You never normally get to ogle at him so obviously so you make the most of it. You study the way his muscles move and contract as he lifts is t-shirt over his head to reveal abs and a defined V. He has a small trail of hair starting from his naval and disappears into his black briefs. You know pretty much every tattoo on his skin but they look different somehow. Maybe because you're not just catching random glimpses of them in Colson's pool. He catches you watching him and he grins at you.

"Like what you see, honey?" you nod your head and he chuckles.

He removes his briefs and your eyes nearly fall out of your head. He's big, bigger than you expected, and thick. If you weren't nervous about this before, you definitely are now that you know what is coming. It was shocking enough when he put a single finger inside you. He rests himself back between your leg and helps you remove your top. You feel self-conscious as his eyes rake over your body and your skin erupts into goose bumps as he trails a finger from your neck, down between the valley of your breasts, not stopping until he gets to your pubic bone.

"How have I never noticed how amazing your body is?" he asks in a serious tone. He looks up at your eyes and smiles and you bite your lip feeling like a goddess.

"Because you're blind," you joke with a laugh.

"Yeah, in more ways than one," he mutters under his breath.

You're fairly sure you weren't meant to hear that. He grabs his length and begins to rub himself up and down your entrance.

"I'm just lubricating myself to try and minimise the pain for you, ok?"

You nod and he continues, not realising that every time his rubs the head of his cock against your clit, your stomach flips with pleasure. He looks up at you through his lashes and your heart almost stops. He's so devastatingly handsome and you know this is going to hurt emotionally so much in the light of day. But for now, you just try and be in the moment.

"This is going to hurt, so you tell me to stop whenever you need, ok baby?" you nod and hold your breath. "Don't hold your breath, it makes it worse. Just breathe with me, ok?"

He leans down so that his chest is pressed up against your breasts and takes deliberate deep breaths so you can feel his movements. He begins to move and you cry out in pain as the unfamiliar pressure and tearing feeling. Your eyes water and you can't stop the sob that escapes your lips.

"Do you want me to stop, honey?" Rook asks with concern but his voice is strained. You shake your head and he continues to move.

He encapsulates your lips with his to try and catch each one of your cries of pain and help distract you. He takes deep breaths to remind you to breathe and it actually does help. Once he's completely inside of you, he stills his hips to allow you to get use to the feeling of being stretched.

"I…I think I'm ok now," you whisper in his ear.

He slowly pulls out of you and although it throbs, the pain is not nearly as bad. After a few slow movements, the pain has been replaced with pleasure and you start to moan and grind against Rook. You hook your thighs around his hips and wrap your arms around his body to hold him as close to you as possible. He places kisses all over your neck and across the top of your breasts as he quickens his pace, hitting your g-spot perfectly.

"So beautiful," he moans into your ear as he nibbles on your earlobe.

You feel that knot in the pit of your stomach as he continues to hit that same delicious spot over and over again. You can't hold out any longer as the stars return.

"Rook!" you cry out as your climax hits you harder than it did the first time. Your body is trembling but Rook's hips don't slow as you come down from your high which makes the feeling so much better.

"Fuck, Y/N!" he cries out and he pulls out of you, spraying your stomach in his warm cum. He pants and collapses on top of you, catching his breath. "Wait here," he pants and climbs off you. He pulls on his jeans without his briefs and heads out the door, closing it softly behind him.

You lie there in your afterglow, completely high off the moment. You're not thinking about tomorrow. You're not thinking about how this is only going to make you want Rook more than ever. This moment right here, is enough.

Rook returns with a damp wash cloth and he wipes the tender area between your thighs as softly as possible. He cleans your stomach and assess the sheets.

"There's a bit of blood on the sheets so you'll have to hop off so I can change them. You should go pee, stops you from getting any infections. I probably should've warn a rubber."

You can't distinguish his feelings from his tone of voice. He almost sounds like a doctor or something. Just spurting off random facts without any emotion or concern. You put your clothes back on and excuse yourself to the bathroom. As you're peeing, the thoughts you were trying to push away earlier have begun to creep in.

This was a mistake. He can't even look at me any more. He probably already regrets it. He knows virgins get attached to the first guy they sleep with. He was just committing to the moment. He didn't really mean it when he called me baby.

There's a gentle knock at the door and you're pulled out of your thoughts. You pull your underwear up and finish in the bathroom. You open the door and Rook is standing there, looking sheepish again and he rubs his neck.

"The bed is ready," he says and you're slightly confused but you nod anyway.

He leads you back to the bedroom and sure enough, there are fresh sheets on the bed. The old sheets are rolled into a ball in the corner and Rook tells you he'll wash them tomorrow before Colson can see them. You sit on the edge of the bed again and this time, instead of feeling awkward, you feel an overwhelming sense of grief. You're mourning the loss of the best friendship you've ever had and the feeling is just too much. Your eyes begin to well and tears finally spill.

"Hey honey, why are you crying?" Rook asks with concern, pulling you to his chest and stroking your hair.

"Because that's it. We're going to go back to just being friends and we won't talk about this and it will get awkward until eventually-"

"I don't want to go back to just being friends," he interrupts you. He pulls your head back so he can cups your cheeks between his large hands. "Sex is not always like that. That was…amazing. I know this might be hard for you to believe but that is the best I've ever had and it was because it was with you, someone I care about, someone I…love. I don't want to be just your first, I want to be your last."

Rook studies your face, trying to gauge your emotions. Your face breaks out into a huge smile and practically launch yourself at him, kissing him passionately. He chuckles against your lips as they assault him with kisses.

"Say it," he whines against your lips.

"First and last."

I’m the “Draft Dodgers for Rodgers” anon and I’ve read your additions like 3 times now I loved them so much! I’m really touched at how much thought you put into this silly idea (who would direct and the soundtrack) and your knowledge of football trivia 🥰 You’re totally right that TSwift would be a valuable piece to the movie considering she’s popular and Aaron is a massive Swiftie, although idk much of her music. Also you’re right that no Rodgers movie would be complete without the gunslinging icon Jordy Nelson who caught 1/5 of AR’s touchdown balls. And then at the end Matt LaFleur comes to the Dodgers’ rescue; such a nice man and v handsome (Rodgers is v lucky at the end scene. But despite being apart now we all know he appreciates the handsome :D) And you really get why I chose Martin Kove as the cop chasing them because he’s known for being very intimidating roles but he’s also got a lot of comedic ones under his belt and is really hammy. Seriously watching him and Historic Ham Al “hooah” Pacino would be a treat. (Would also cast Al in a hypothetical Eli Manning movie due to their shared Dunkin Donuts connection.) Really excited about all your additions they were hilarious and insightful 😙

DRAFT DODGERS FOR RODGERS ANON!!!!!!

✨Aka my beloved hypothetical movie writing partner✨ 🥰🔥🌟💯

So sorry for the late response!!

It definitely wasn't because I didn't see it or didn't care!!!!!!!

AHHHH, I'm SO thrilled that you enjoyed my additions and appreciated all of the time, effort and energy I put into the idea overall!!!

I wasn't kidding when I said that I had a lot of fun thinking about and writing everything up, no matter how long it all took (:

I love that you read my additions 3+ times and are basically like, "Yeah! That all really does work and makes sense for this wacky-ass idea of a movie!" 🥺💞

I obviously don't know who you are, but I'm gonna go ahead and add you to my bestie list because from the moment that you came to my inbox with this idea, I was like, "GASP!! This person is a kindred spirit!!!"

I think that you're amazing for this idea and heart how you saw my additions for what they were. 😊

Ok, alright, at this point, I'm just gushing now, but it's all good. 😅💓

It's great to know that there are other folks like me out there who have these crazy and silly ideas and aren't afraid to share them, anon or not!!

In closing, you are more than welcome to come back at any time with other additions or another totally different but just as equally wild idea. 🤩🤗💗

I also want you to know that because of you, I am working on notes for that hypothetical Eli Manning, Al Pacino movie. 😏😉🌟

It's just as insane as what Draft Dodgers for Rodgers is, but on a different level. :D

I'm gonna be so excited to share it with everybody, but especially with you!!!!!

Anyway...!!

Take care, Draft Dodgers anon. 🙂💕

You are awesome and I look forward to hearing from you again sometime!!!!!

[starlitheaven]

Thinking about what you said about what kind of person Gojo would like. Given that he's approachable but very distant person, it's no suprise that only Shoko is left of the ones that he has an intimate friendship with. He has other colleagues but they don't bother getting to know him better, nor does he do so in return, it seems that he knows and senses who really cares about him as a person even. So imagine you make the first move back then and just become so nonchalant with him, you love his dumb jokes and endulge him even more, you like talking about anything and everything about him, letting your brains run wild. You put him on the first place alot of times and you probably couldn't tell but he does notice all this, he loves your introverted personality, your calmness around him and how you fill that empty void he has in his heart.

He wants to do stuff with you, wants you to experience things together and wants both of you to grow as people and is willing to learn new things with you, such as showing more affection and being more considerate towards one's feelings. (Perhaps you could pinch him on the cheek and tell him to apologize to Utahime because he doesn't realize he's an ass sometimes) Overall he is simply very fond of you and loves you so much even if he can be a meanie sometimes, good things is you can bite back and tease him too in return.

~~ i just love this baby boy so much i can't help it <3

okay this honestly makes my heart ache and also fill with warmth over how much I love it and love Gojo 🥺

you’re right, he’s extremely observant and knows how people feel about him as a person, and it’s not much. people also think they know him because he’s so approachable, but I’m sure that if they stopped to really think about it they’d realize they know nothing about him. no one ever asks how he feels about things or embrace him for who he is (except maybe Yuuji and Yuuta).

you coming in and wanting to get to know him, liking what you’ve seen, and indulging him would mean so much to him. like I said, he’s very observant and would be quick to notice how much attention you’re giving him, and how it’s for him as a person and not a sorcerer. he’d love someone like that, someone who’s considerate and empathetic. you putting him first is something he never really thinks about, like he doesn’t realize how much it means to him until you do it to him. he’s so strong and alone, imagine how comforting it’d feel to know that you’re looking out for HIM? that you’ll consider him and protect him. he might think he doesn’t need it, but deep down it feels good.

a shared sense of humor is probably how you two would get closer in the first place, tbh. you two just go back and forth saying stupid shit and making jokes, that one day he sees something funny and thinks about you. he’ll start thinking things like “y/n should see this” “y/n would think this is hilarious” and it opens the door to his feelings for you.

he realizes how much he likes having you by his side and sharing things with the other. he starts thinking how you’d feel about the most random things. he sees a tacky movie for fun and can’t help but wonder how you’d react to it or if you’d like the restaurant he went to the other day.

even when he gets frustrated with the jujutsu system, he wants to vent to you. and he knows you’ll want to listen, and that you’ll always want to comfort him. and he wants to be able to comfort you too, he’ll begin wondering if you think about him too. or if you go to him first when you’re feeling down or something really exciting happens to you.

and that man is terribly touch starved, he loves how affectionate you are. likes how you lean in close to say something funny, or gently wipe some of the powder from the mochi off the corner of his mouth, or how you hug him when he’s been gone for too long. he’s like a little sunflower leaning towards the sun. (you’re drunk and bite his cheek once and he ❣️💘)

Gojo falling in love with you would be a really slow and gradual process because he doesn’t think he’d ever fall in love. not even in a sad way, it’s just not a priority in his mind. it wouldn’t be dramatic, it’d be subtle and soft tbh

ALSO YEAH. he loves getting put in his place, he’s a fucking brat first and foremost. utahime would LOVE you cause you’re quick to flick his cheek and pull on his hair if he’s being mean to her. but then he’d make it worse by saying something like “I love it when you punish me 😩” “gonna spank me?” and making utahime BOLT AND SPRINT AND SENT INTO ORBIT

[hollandorks]

When I saw chapter 19 was posted I got up and shut my door. I was like “I need complete privacy.”

Her and Bruce are two sides of the same coin. When she was in the car thinking and she wanted him to leave her because she didn’t care what happened to her. Her thought that “the city is more important than I am.” Honey, you’re sounding a lot like Bruce. Sweetheart, Bruce wants to protect Gotham, but he wants to protect you more. He loves you.

I can’t believe my panicked “are they gonna try to drug him?” thought was right but it makes sense. Also did he just have that gas mask? I like to think that he didn’t, and he had to stop by a store and pick it up. I like to imagine a clerk being like “ahhhhh what?” and kind of scared out of their mind because holy shit it’s Batman, and he’s buying a gas mask.

Them tying her up just for show? Overdramatic theater kids. But I get it. If the drug wore off before Bruce came that wouldn’t be good. Even though they could easily overpower her. So I get tying her to a chair.

Of course the villains monologued. They always do. When they revealed to her that they were gonna have Bruce kill her, my heart dropped. I bet Bruce heard that and was like “I’d die before I’d hurt her.”

The rescue! I love s a rescue! He’s so sweet and tender. I love that she slowly started to regain control of her body, and the first thing she does is to beg Bruce to leave her. To her, she can die. The city doesn’t need her for its wellbeing and safety. It needs him. It needs Bruce. Nothing can happen to him. She’d rather die.

I bet Bruce was crushed hearing that from her. He’s filled with angst about that for sure. Bruce would rather die a million deaths than leave her there. At the mercy of those men. On one hand they need her to get to Bruce. However, they’d probably just cut their losses and figure out a new plan to get to him. Bruce knows this even if the reader doesn’t.

Her driving his rocket car and telling him not to die before she can say “I told you so” and him just being totally confused. The way his scream haunted her when she touched his wound to wake him back up? Chefs kiss.

Also Alfred immediately being surprised to see her jump out of the car. I’m sure he had a million questions. But his Bruce needed immediate attending. I love her and Alfred working together as a team. I hope they do that a lot more.

I can picture the fear on his face when she took off his cowl. For him, this was it. The last moment of tenderness between them. The last time she’d trust him. And she just hits him with an “I told you so.” Classic. That made me smile.

I can’t wait for their next interaction. I bet she’s going to want to try again, and Bruce is desperately going to put his foot down. He never wants to feel that amount of fear again. He’s finding his checkbook, and he’s paying off her debts. He’s going to want to do it so badly, and she’s not gonna let him. I just can’t wait.

I loved chapter 19 and I am so excited for 20! I adore this story. Also I love you too Shelby!

***CH 19 SPOILERS***

Total focus: love to see it. I too will lock myself away for a good fanfic 😂

Love that you noticed those similarities 🥺 these two idiots just can't seem to realize how similar they are.

And honestly I didn't think about the gas mask part--I assume he had one because he seems almost like a doomsday prepper/ someone who constantly expects the worst. But it's also fucking hilarious to imagine him in his armor and mask at a store 😂

Villain monologues are a key part of action movies/ shows/ books/ etc. I don't make the rules. The villains just have to monologue. I absolutely know Bruce was losing his shit the whole time (she says as if she isn't the writer lol)

Taking a break to say--ugh I just want to spoil things for my own fic!!! It's so hard!!

Anyways, I knew their dynamic would change when she found out his identity and somehow that just became like....banter. So much banter. The I told you so thing was something I just could not resist. So I'm glad it was enjoyed 😂

Ch 20 coming Monday!! And ngl I really like it!

Final takes on the prom movie: OKAY I JUST LOVED IT.

Is it flawed? Yes, definately. But being someone who has seen the stage show, I really enjoyed this adaptation. Here's just some opinions

(Note: I am gay, enby, and was alienated for me sexuality in the 8th grade so this is one of the most relatable pieces of media to me.)

One of my favorite parts of seeing the live musical was the lesbian couple in front of me, laughing and sobbing and loving the show (very sweet people, we talked at intermission 🥺🥺)

I loved seeing that because I saw people SEEING themselves on stage. Unpopular opinion, but while Emma and Alyssa's relationship was WAY better in the musical, I still feel like they did a lot. I imagine so many LGBTQ+ people seeing themselves in Emma or in Alyssa. It could've been better, but they'll help so many people feel seen.

Second, James Corden. I am of the opinion that any actor can play any character, regardless of sexuality. Honestly, I feel like so many people are being over the top about Corden's portrayal of Barry. I don't see him as a characature at all like, don't know where some of you are coming from with that. I think this is easily one of his best roles, he was pretty adorable tbh. BUT I do still consider him the low point of the adaptation: the accent and just comparing his performance to Meryl Streep, Andrew Rannells, and most other actors.

I liked how true to the script a lot of it was, all the songs are still in it, and a lot of the scenes that were in the musical were pretty word for word in the adaptation!! (I'm looking at you, phantom, les mis, and rent) BUT I'M SO MAD THAT THEY CUT THE ACCEPTANCE SONG SHORT ABDBSBDBAB!! Rannells was still just hilarious and wonderful. I, like many others, didn't like how most of the attention was on the adults more so than the musical, but scroll back to my previous point.

I've seen so many people criticise this and it makes me so mad: Emma smiling while being hatecrimed and bullied. I said this in my previous post, but some of you clearly haven't had to smile through the hardtimes and pretend like everything is fine. In the eighth grade, I got the award in my Natural Helpers team for being the "smiliest" person. Below the surface, I was sad and stressed and scared. I related so much to Emma smiling through it, breathing, and being optimistic still. Everyone is different, and we should recognize this (also every portrayal of a character is different)

I LOVED MERYL STREEP. who doesn't though, next.

NICOLE KIDMAN!!! Loved it. Loved how they adapted Zazz, next.

ANDREW RANNELLS!!!! Ok, yeah, I stan him. Trent was one of my favorite parts of the original live show. Also, unrelated, I see a lot that The Prom is a movie made for "straight people" and I want to just ask, why is that such a bad thing? We don't hold cishet movies to the same standards as our lgbtq movies, and shit like Holiday-date still comes out. And, if this is made for straight people, I think it teaches some damn good things. Love thy Neighbor? Always a delight (one of my favorite parts of the musical LMAO) and will definately touch some young, straight people who watch it. Also, Kerry Washington is a great portrayal of many Karens that very much exist today. One thing I loved is her coming to support Alyssa. Alyssa doesn't "forgive" her like so many critics are saying; Alyssa gives her a chance because she recognizes her mom's flaws, and recognizes that she loves her and will grow for her daughter. The message of growth in this adaptation is very important I feel.

I love both Alyssas tbh! They are very different portrayals and characterizations, but they are great in their own right. Both coming out scenes are so emotional in their different ways.

Finally, I just want to say: let people enjoy things. I live in a world where criticising art while still appreciating it for what it is/loving it should coexist. Is the prom movie flawed? Yes. Will I still watch it over and over again and cry everytime? Yes. One hundred times yes. I'm so glad that a movie like this is on a very accessible service like Netflix because it will help so many people: people who never got the chance to see the musical live, peopls who don't know musicals, and queer kids in a tough place because of similar circumstances. This movie is so important and should be appreciated.

- the girls are fightinggggg

- why does the music sound like spectrobes zeta moon

- this is just awful i don’t want to spend any time waiting for jughead to be unhappy!!! let alone 45 minutes, even sped up!!!!

- JESUS AND NOW SHES SINGING...... PLEASE

- JUST RESPECT HIS WISHES ITS REALLY NOT THAT HARD

- alright but archie and veronica in the background trying to avoid eye contact with the fight is admittedly hilarious

- oh my GOD what the fuck not the whole school WHYYYY

- NOT FP TOO THIS IS SO BAD

- YES JUGHEAD WITHOUT HIS STUPID HAT ON!!!!!!!!!! YOU LOVE TO SEE IT

- okay edit: while “have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? that’s weird” is objectively the world’s dumbest line and totally out of place for the conversation, i will begrudgingly admit that having him then actually let her see him without it while he apologizes/explains is very touching. i don’t necessarily like doing so, but i’m giving it an a+

- jughead is maybe the only one who makes me understand why people find injuries so hot. he’s really pulling off that black eye

- oh brutal he’s really just leaving archie to clean the whole house while he eats... i mean he deserves it but still

- THE RAISED PINKY WHILE DRINKING MILK RIGHT FROM THE CARTON IM GONNA CRY
