On that note, what were your thoughts on Coraline? Specially on that scene where the beldam counts down from 3 as she transforms into her true form.
Because to me, it made me realize that I love horror movies and their concepts, and what I didn't like of other specific transformation scenes was that they were... too real to me? Like they made me think about "if people could really be turned into animals how horrible would it be to leave every single thing you know about life behind and never get to do the human things you like and nobody knowing that something unnatural happened to you, they'd just see a weird dog or cow or chicken" and that was too terrifying of a thought to me
that specific scene didn’t really bother me the same way! i thought it was scary, sure, but that’s just because the beldam looks scary. a monster turning into a monster because they’ve always been one didn’t make me queasy the way other stuff did. she’s choosing to change shapes, no one else is making her, and it’s one she seems to like!
like you said, a part of it for me was being so upset at the idea of losing your original life and not being able to go back, being separated from people or just not being recognized at all. i really didn’t like the idea that it might be painful, or embarrassing, or that you could have absolutely no control over what was happening. the loss of control was HUGE for me.
in a weird way that’s probably what drew little kid me to werewolves though. because they do have to go through all of that, but in the end they can change back. and they don’t have to be alone because of it, you know, wolves are such social animals, it doesn’t have to be completely isolating. and also wolves are just fucking cool!!! so it was a way to explore all of that discomfort without it being so horribly overwhelming. it was cathartic!
and now i’m just Like This. so. haha. oops?

Can I request La Squadra x S/O who's taller than them? Thank you.
yes you caaaaaan! Sorry if these are, ironically, shorter HCs.
jsyk i write this with the opinion that Risotto is by far the tallest
-------------------------------------------------
La Squadra with an S/O who's taller than them!
Formaggio
"Well yea, it's easy to be taller than me, heh" *insert shrinking...noises?*
The taller the S/O, the more inclined he feels to shrink himself and ride on your shoulder. Get used to it.
Bro gets on his tippy toes to kiss you. he doesn't even have to but he still does. It's kind of cute?
Illuso
"No you're not."
Unless you're taller than him by like. A foot or some shit. He is adamant you two are at least the same height.
He doesn't bring it up unless you do but...he subtly tries to make himself seem taller. It's so fucking petty, you decide if it's annoying or charming :/
Prosciutto
"Alright, and?"
He probably cares the least about your height. Sure, you're taller than him. So what? Unless his head is at like. boob level 24/7 or something somehow, he doesn't care.
Unless you bring it up, or poke fun at him being shorter. You better think his glares are sexy 'cause....
If you're tall enough for it to matter, he'll do the "pulling you by the collar into a kiss" thing
Pesci
"Being near you...feels so secure...."
He loves it!!!! When you hug him it feels like you're completely surrounding him...like, not literally, but the idea is so comforting!
I was going to say you should rest your chin on top of his head but...um...how sturdy is his hair?
If you're happy with your height, he'll bring it up a lot when he compliments you.
Melone
"DI MOLTO"
"Is your whole family like that?"
Excited to know if it's something that runs strong in your genetics. No particular reason. Trust me.
Like Pesci, he doesn't have any issues with having a taller s/o. It's just another lovely aspect about you <3
Ghiaccio
"Okay fine, I get it! For fucks sake!"
This poor guy. To be honest, he really doesn't care that you're taller than him, he thinks its fine. But people won't leave him alone about it
Yeah he's an "angry little gremlin thing" but they gotta stop dragging his s/o into it...it kind of sours the height difference a little.
But like I said, he really doesn't have any issues with it. If you can get past how much the comments annoy him, you can probably see how much he likes your chin on top of his head, or how you look so slightly down on him when your faces are so close....gah sorry what was i doing-
Risotto
"Be nice. They're are not scary."
yes you are. my lactose intolerant ass envies you. what the actual fuck.
I guess that's a pro about him being with someone taller than him, that he can't intimidate his s/o with his height? That's not to imply that he's intimidated by you though!!
Unless people are causing a fuss about it though, Risotto doesn't mind your height. I don't think physical appearance means much when it comes to partners to him? Just my personal feeling.

What if Hashirama's theatrical depression fits are actually a mechanism that he learned in order to be able to express his sadness at all? Like, being down in a "serious" way could give him a beating from Butsuma because "it's shameful for a ninja to cry" and this kind of BS. So Hashi rather than repress these feelings began to crank up their expression to 300% and make an absolute show of himself every time he felt bad. This way, Butsuma could now say "my son is f*cking stupid" but it didn't carry as much condemnation as "my son is weak".

one weird and annoying effect of me spending so much time on mainly american social media and watching all these american shows and movies and reading books by american authors and having all these online friends from america etc etc is that like.. when i write i no longer feel like i can set my stories in france? like, bc i write in english it feels like i need to set my stories in an english-speaking country, and the us is the easiest one to set up (i think in a way it kinda feels like the "default setting" of western media?). i feel like if i wrote a book set in france itd be weird or confusing to people, and also im always bugged bc like.. the stuff i write in english cannot be directly translated into french, like it doesnt correspond 1:1 to french sentences, and so if i set a story in france im always bugged bc i think "but that cant be what the characters are actually saying, because theres no equivalent to this in french". so i end up setting a lot of my stuff in the us, except ive only been to the us once and not long enough to get a good impression of what living there is like (not to mention ive only been to nyc), so i also feel like when americans read my stuff theyre gonna immediately go "huh? thats not how things are here. this author is a hack who cant do research." .. so then sometimes i set my stuff in fictional countries or in an ambiguous impossible setting which mixes stuff from various english-speaking countries + france, but then that makes my story immediately less grounded. this is such a big issue that it blocks me from writing entire stories i wanna write bc i just cant even begin to put them somewhere 😔

our new english teacher gave us a sheet to fill out to get a feel for our level and like. mine feels a bit pretentious and also funny?
bc like. what do you expect to learn this year? idk whatever we're talking about. not the language tho. how do you estimate your knowledge of english? (strengths, weaknesses)? i'm fluent. i have the level of a native speaker. i uh. weaknesses. weaknesses. i don't remember grammar terms? i can use it tho so it's not actually a problem.
do you want to improve? oh yeah definitely! even if everything else here tells you this class ain't what i need for that! it's totally fine
like. my english *is* that good. i'm not exaggerating or bragging or anything, i'm just literally a very avid reader and writer in - guess what - english! it's SOO weird to fill out this sheet. it's a good idea and everything but it feels sososo weird

// Spoiler for Kingohger ep 24 Preview Sypnopsis //
It says "what is the surprising truth that Jeramie discovers?" which brings about two/three-ish ideas I have for what this could be.
1 ) Racules' ACTUAL body / whatever they've done to it I'd guess
Since we never actually saw what was in Racules' coffin in the previous episode, and that Masato Yano hasn't gotten his flowers yet, there's a good chance he's out there still alive. And there's an even bigger chances the Bugnarok were the ones to find his body (and probably gave Shugoddam a decoy one to cement his death). This would be interesting as it parallels Gira from episode 9-17. And maybe, we'll see ZERO return too (since we don't know what happened to it) and possible have Racules control the castle mech (and maybe God Kingohger Zero???) since I think somewhere it was stated that both brothers can control the castle.
2 ) There's another bugnarok spy
I mean, if Kamejim as Boshimar was able to trick all the characters, then who knows how many other people out there could possibly be bugnarok in disguise. Possibly would lead to tension btw Jeremie and the Kings cuz then he'd be like "what if I'm giving Bugnarok crucial info?"
2a) Good bugnarok
Then again, there's always bugnarok like Gerojim so instead he finds proof that there's a group of bugnarok (possibly including hybrids) that also want peace between them and Humans and do not side by Deznarok's plans. This would give Jeremie a little kingdom to rule over and add more to his side of the conflict. Or maybe its a clan that was previously thought to have been destroyed by Daigorg actually having surviving members and also are against desnarok because he killed their family / members.
3) It all a lead up to the highly likely kyoryuger cameo.
Cuz I think according to leaks it's supposed to be Sept for the toy release so there's a chance there is a build up towards that crossover instead. So possible like the new Gabutyra ? who knows
