Anyone else have that one band you used to love SO MUCH? You’d listen to them pretty much every day, always watched interviews/videos with the members, knew so many of their songs by heart, even learned a couple of their songs on an instrument or two. You still appreciate/like them and wish the best for them, but they’ve just gone in such a different musical direction for the past few years that it seems like they’ve pretty much forgotten their roots and you just can’t really get into it anymore. This post is about Waterparks

Yandere Witch /// Part 2
Tumblr media
Part 1
The great part about Rhiana the Witch’s cozy cottage outside that small town was the privacy. Not just when her most wriggly meals ran; but because it was purposefully hidden. The faerie circles just outside the town messed with maps and satellites making her little place a safe haven from the enemies and ex-lovers experiments she’d made over her many centuries of being alive. But now that she was leaving to get closer to you, she was uncomfortably exposed. 
“Hey Rhi-Rhi you okay? You’ve looked so nervous since I picked you up.”
“Oh I’m fine it’s just all these people make me so nervous.”
“I guess it is kind of overwhelming.”
“Maybe you can take me somewhere private. Like your place maybe?”
She thinks it’s worth the risk as she’s allowed to use the same excuse to cling to your side. Pretend to be distraught when she gets hit on to have you pretend to be dating to drive off desperate and confident weirdos. She eats that up. Unfortunately though, her open fawning over you leaves her unguarded from soul searches. An old technique lovers of olde used to unite over long periods. Naturally, trouble just happens to be in the 500-meter radius and is well off enough to get in close to foil her plans.
“Hello there. I’m your new neighbor. I wanted to introduce myself to everyone since I’m completely new to the area.”
“Oh hi, nice to meet you! I’m (Y/n) and this is Rhi–”
“(Y/n) you don’t have to introduce me I’m only visiting.”
“That’s such a shame Rhiana. I would’ve hoped we could…get to know each other better.”
Trouble is one of her craziest exes–Narciness. He was a nymph and she was a witch. Back then, it made sense that they were perfect for one another. Both were a gorgeous couple, immortal and with plenty of magic. Not to mention he didn’t even mind that she ate humans for her youthful appearance. But it just wasn’t right for Rhea. Just as his name would suggest there was a deep-seated and well-masked narcissism that showed its ugly head at the worst times. She ultimately took the very mature option that she’s learned over the centuries when it comes to major obstacles. She ran. 
“Nice to see you again Rhiana. It’s always nice to know my girlfriend decided to disappear from me the last few centuries!”
“Quit whining. I left you a note didn’t I?”
“A note cursed to explode with a memory-wipe spell the second I finished it. If I didn’t know any better I’d say you were trying to leave me.”
“Oh genius, you’re finally getting it!”
“That can’t be right! You and I…we’re perfect together! And you instead cheat on me with the most imperfect human!”
“Do not ever talk about my (Y/n) like that!”
She’s almost glad he’s crazy enough not to hide his intentions. Had he been cut from the same cloth as she-she would have kept silent until after she devoured her prey. But Narciness is an idiot who so clearly had it out for you that she wouldn’t let him live another day without singing your praises. Unfortunately, the thing about killing a nymph is that it wasn’t easy, a child of the old powers of nature. He’s survived a lot of things and can withstand some of Rhea’s most fatal potions. And especially when she’s far from home spending time with you, she’s a little shorthanded. So she’ll come up with another remedy. 
“Hey Narc, I didn’t know you went shopping here.”
“I think instead of solely getting the organic stuff I figured I’d swing by here every once in a while. The gallery is truly immaculate.”
“Good for you. C’mon (Y/n) we’re going to miss our movie.”
“Oh right! Well, it was nice seeing you, Narc!”
“Oh (Y/n) before you go, there's something I wanted to tell you.”
“What?”
“I just love your smile.”
“Oh, thanks !”
“Let’s go, (Y/n).”
The thing she found that sparked her attraction to him was his smile. It lit up the room like yours and in the end, it’ll be what protects you from his violent protections of ‘their relationship’. Unfortunately, now that she’s used a spell to shift his affection she’ll have to figure out some way to end his life before he turns violent against her. Too bad it’ll be hard to figure out in the span of two days. Now she can miss her plane and extend her stay a little while but it’s just not enough time. Not enough time for her to make sure ‘Narc’ doesn’t try anything, she’ll have to do something drastic. 
“Narciness I was hoping we could find some common ground.”
“With you? Babe, didn’t I tell you I was done? Your old news.”
“For you, I might be but I’m the hottest thing in (Y/n)’s world.”
“...I see. So we’re officially competing then. Would you like to fight this out now?”
“I’d like to try something new. A gesture of peace, if you will.”
“...oven mitts? You plan to make me bake? Why would I concern myself with such a lowly task?”
“Did I tell you (Y/n) has a sweet tooth?”
“...”
Rhea the Witch considers herself lucky her ex considered cooking for himself as a job for ‘someone uglier than him.’ She’s also glad she gets to stay another day due to food poisoning. Who knew nymphs gave witches so much nausea?
“Oh Rhea were you eating that bloody meat again? I keep telling you that rare steak is great but you got to make sure it’s at least cooked a little bit.”
“I know hon. I should really think about maintaining my diet better.”
“Yeah, I’m just glad this is happening now. Instead of on a plane or bus where I wouldn’t be there for you.”
“Yes…(Y/n) what do you think about me staying another week or so. So many things keep happening, it feels as though fate is telling me.”
She may have some serious indigestion but you were hers and the threat was…toast. For Rhea, her reward was being pampered by you. Finally able to rest with her love by her side. Nothing was better and nothing could bother her. Not even the distant thought of the new owner to the place next door. 
“I noticed your plants. I’m not a huge fan of nature but maybe you can show me the ropes. What do you say, neighbor?”

Request: video gamer Steve who is very very private & constantly has competitions with his friends/followers. But one day he does & q&a and someone asks him about his ring/necklace (or something that is noticeable) & he talks about his partner. & Eddie who is a well known musician who talks about his partner Steve. And somehow their fans put it together that Steddie are together. Then they do a really cute q&a on Steve's channel all about their relationship & its really cute
MY LOVE!!! Honestly, if Liam didn't watch so many gamers on YouTube, I would be so clueless. I never got into video games (because I'm so so bad at them you guys it is actually embarrassing) and I never really watched streamers on YouTube or anything. But I know that some of them have like a cult following and so I am picturing Steve to be one of those here. Please don't ask what games he would play because this is a choose your own adventure part of the story. - Mickala ❤️
-----------------------------------------------------
Everyone made fun of Steve for how much he talked with his hands. Even on camera, his hands were constantly in the frame, moving and emphasizing his passion for whatever game he was playing for that stream.
He should have realized that wearing a ring on his usually bare hands would have given him away.
It was his first livestream competition since Eddie proposed on their trip to the Maldives.
He was still a little high off of, well, everything, and he wasn’t thinking clearly.
He ignored the first question that popped up.
who got you that ring?
He shared some basic personal stuff with his fans and followers, but he kept most things private, especially his relationship.
But then questions kept coming in.
R U ENGAGED???
usually the girl wears the ring right
If you’re taken I might have to unsubscribe
The last one made him pause.
It’s not like he was an idiot, he knew that there would always be a handful of people who followed him because he was attractive. He didn’t mind, especially because some of them would message him and explain that they ended up getting into games because of him.
“Okay, wait. Sorry guys. Um. I wanna address something before we start the actual stream.” He held his hand up, looking over at the ring Eddie proposed with. “I share a lot with you guys. I came out about a year ago during a stream as bisexual, and it really shouldn’t have been much of a shock, but it caused a bit of a…thing.” He grimaced. “And I guess most of the reason that I came out then was because my boyfriend had come out as well, and it felt like something we could do together without actually doing it together. Most of you know I was just gone for a week on a much needed vacation. I was with my boyfriend, and he proposed while we were there. I said yes because he is the only person I’ve ever wanted to spend my life with.”
Steve put his hand down, sighing.
“I understand if that makes some of you unfollow me, but I do hope you look at yourself and try to come to terms with why that is what makes you unfollow someone you enjoy watching. Anyways, the ring is beautiful, and it's a simpler version of one he wears every day, so it means even more.”
He felt relieved, but also a little stressed, and knew he’d be calling Eddie as soon as this was over to talk to him about everything.
“Let’s get gaming!” He gave his best smile to the camera.
—-------------------------------------
“Yeah, we had a nice week off together, alone, and I finally got to propose. I don’t think we left the bed for 24 hours after that,” Eddie laughed.
The interviewer laughed too, used to Eddie’s jokes and blunt answers.
“I’m glad you got to spend some time just the two of you. This has been a busy world tour for you and Corroded Coffin and you’re only halfway through!” The interviewer, Hannah, stated. She smiled at him when he nodded. “Anything new planned for the second half of the tour?”
“We can’t give out secrets, Hannah, you know that,” Eddie smirked. “But Gareth did say I should tell you about one thing.”
Gareth definitely had a crush on Hannah and had pouted endlessly about being scheduled for a different interview at the same time as Eddie’s interview with her.
“Oh?” she leaned forward, eyes gleaming.
She maybe had a crush on him, too.
“He actually wrote a song that’ll be on our next album. He doesn’t usually get bit with the writing bug, but someone’s inspired him,” he winked at her, smiling at her blush. “Anyway, it’s been added to the setlist for the second leg of the tour and we’re all really excited for everyone to hear it.”
Eddie felt his phone vibrating in his pocket multiple times. All the guys knew he was in an interview and couldn’t answer a call, so who the hell was calling him?
It was easy enough to ignore through Hannah’s next question, until it started again.
He reached in his pocket and checked to see who it was, eyes going wide when he saw ‘Stevie’ with a picture of them on their vacation lighting up his screen.
Steve never called twice in a row unless it was an emergency. He knew if Eddie didn’t answer, he was truly busy.
He felt his heart racing as he looked back up at Hannah, who instantly seemed to catch on to something happening.
“We’re going to a commercial break, but when we’re back, Eddie’s gonna share a few hints about the next album!” Hannah said, immediately shutting the mics off and gesturing for him to get up.
Eddie took off his headphones and stood, walking out of the room as he answered the phone.
“Sweetheart, are you okay?”
“I’m sorry to bother you, I just-”
“Hey, no, it’s not bothering me. I was just in a radio interview with Hannah so we had to cut to commercial break before I could answer. What’s wrong?” he asked, concerned that something terrible had happened.
“Fuck, I forgot that was right now. I’m sorry. Call me back when you get to the bus,” Steve seemed like he was trying to rush off the phone.
“No, Stevie, wait. What’s wrong?” his tone was firm enough to let Steve know he wasn’t going to let this drop.
“Um. I just had a livestream thing. And like, people asked about the ring, so I told them I was engaged and some people just didn’t take it that well and then I went online and some people have apparently put it together that the Steve you talk about is me because of something I mentioned about my vacation and something you posted about the vacation and so I think everyone’s gonna know and I’m sorry,” Steve was panting by the end, speaking a million miles an hour literally taking the breath from him.
“Okay, well, we knew this would probably happen eventually, my love. I’ll just call the guys and we can talk to Chrissy about it if it gets picked up by the media. No reason to panic,” Eddie tried to calm him down while watching through the window to the recording booth where Hannah seemed to be introducing a song to kill more time.
“But I ruined our plan!”
“No, love. People ruined our plan. And it’s okay, anyway. We’ll figure it out.”
“But your fans will be mad that it’s me. I’m just…me!”
“You’re not just anything and any fan of mine who says or thinks that, isn’t a fan,” Eddie sighed. “I love you, and we will figure this out. Whatever we gotta do, okay?”
Steve let out a long breath before responding.
“I love you too. Tell Hannah I said hi?”
“Of course. I love you so much, okay? ‘Til death and beyond.”
Steve let out a small laugh.
“You’re not allowed to use those lyrics in the vows. But I love you so much, too.”
“We can discuss that later. I wrote you a very metal love song that I fully intend to use some of in the vows. Okay, bye!”
He hung up before Steve could argue and walked back into the studio, mouthing an apology to Hannah, who just waved it off with a smile.
Everything would be fine.
—-------------------------------------------
“The lighting isn’t ideal, but it’ll be fine,” Steve was pacing, double checking his set up while Eddie watched.
He tried helping, but kept being told not to touch things, so he ended up just sitting on the hotel bed.
Steve had traveled halfway across the country to do this, his stress was at an all-time high, and Eddie didn’t need to get his head bitten off.
“Five minutes,” Steve said, shaking his hands nervously.
“Come here, sweetheart,” Eddie said, waving him over to the bed.
“No, you’ll distract me.”
“Yes, which is exactly what you need for a minute. Come here.”
Steve sighed, but went over to him, dropping onto the bed and resting his head against Eddie’s shoulder.
“What’s got you so worried?”
“Everything.”
Eddie sighed.
“But specifically.”
“I just don’t want you or the guys to lose fans because of me,” Steve was playing with the edges of the hole in Eddie’s jeans absentmindedly.
“Sweet boy, we lose fans because we endorse a certain amp brand over another. We’ll be fine.”
“This is bigger, though. I’m just a nobody who got lucky on YouTube playing some games,” Steve whined.
“And I loved you before that. If they don’t want me to be happy, they aren’t real fans anyway. You’re my future, not whatever woman still thinks she has a shot with my gay ass,” Eddie said.
“But it isn’t just you who suffers.”
“None of us suffer. We lose some homophobic, idiotic fans who shouldn’t ever have claimed to be fans at all. None of us want people like that around.”
Steve’s alarm went off to signal one minute before the livestream started.
He jumped up and pulled Eddie up with him.
They’d already gone over everything together, discussed it with Chrissy and the guys, even Steve’s manager, Robin, about how this would work.
Steve would pretty much act like it was any other livestream, but Eddie would be there for the first five minutes or so so they could do a quick explanation of things.
Eddie would do a phone interview with Hannah in 30 minutes while Steve was gaming, covering a bit more and answering some questions about their relationship.
Then they’d both have a night off to decompress in the hotel before Steve had to fly back home and Eddie had to head to the next tour stop.
Hopefully, the buzz would die down relatively quickly.
Steve did his normal intro, but Eddie’s hand rested on his knee out of sight, squeezing once when he heard his voice start to shake a little while introducing Eddie.
“There’s been some rumors about us, and we just wanna be completely honest about things so that the rumors stop,” Steve continued. “First of all, we’ve been together for almost four years. Way before I got anywhere with YouTube, before Corroded Coffin had even released their first album. And we were friends long before that.”
“Even though I had the biggest crush on him in high school, I didn’t admit I was in love with him until we both moved to Chicago. Wasted years,” Eddie shook his head.
“Second,” Steve smirked, looking over at him for a moment. “The week off in the middle of his tour had been planned for Jeff to go home and be with his family for his wife’s birthday and daughter’s graduation.”
“Anyone who thinks Steve threw a fit about needing a vacation and made the band take a break is just saying so out of spite that we had to move around one of the tour dates to make the week off work. It’s not up to you to come up with a narrative,” Eddie added, brow raised like he was chastising children.
“And finally, most importantly, what either of us choose to share is up to us. We do not owe anyone any explanations. Our relationship is ours. Being public figures already takes away a lot of our autonomy, and this is something neither of us will budge on. We are willing to share our happiness, but we are not willing to let everyone become a part of our life together.”
Sometimes, Steve said things in such a way that Eddie couldn’t do anything but stare at him in awe. He loved him more than anything, and sometimes the only thing he could do was kiss him.
He did so now, not exactly forgetting they were live streaming, just not really caring.
Steve tensed for a second, but then relaxed, cupping his cheek and smiling into the kiss.
Eddie pulled away and looked back at the camera.
“On that note, I’m gonna leave Steve here to his gaming. If you aren’t nice, I’ll ban you from Corroded Coffin shows for life,” he waved before standing and leaving the camera’s view.
Steve rolled his eyes, but smiled fondly as Eddie walked out of the bedroom, blowing kisses back at Steve the entire way.
—-------------------------------------------
After that, Eddie made random appearances on Steve’s live streams, and Steve flew out to a handful of shows to support Eddie.
It’s not that they were hiding before, but they just hadn’t felt like they should have to try to.
Now they didn’t.
Steve even did a Q&A with the band on tour while playing games with them.
They were all pretty terrible at it, complaining most of the time about how D&D was so much easier than this. Eddie didn’t play, but he sat next to Steve and braided his hair while he kicked their asses, asking them all the questions that popped up from people watching.
When he got to one for him, he smiled and kissed the top of Steve’s head.
“This question is for me. How did you know Steve was the one?” The guys all groaned, but they were smiling. “Well, I knew he was the one back in my first senior year. I tripped on the step into the gym and Steve was the only one there. He helped me up and smiled at me, and I was a goner.”
“He’s lying to you all,” Steve said without looking away from the game. “He knew when I made him homemade banana bread. His exact words were, ‘I’m gonna marry you so hard someday, Harrington.’ and then six months later he proposed.”
“Both can be true,” Eddie pouted.
Steve paused the game and turned to him, kissing the tip of his nose.
“Every moment I have with you proves you’re the one for me,” he said before turning back to the game and leaving Eddie silently shocked.
“This is the last time we come on this thing, Steve,” Gareth said.
“Yeah. You broke him,” Jeff agreed.

Foster Household: Chapter 9, Part 8
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CW: Mental Health Struggles - Guide to content warnings
Chad: How are you today Carson
Carson: Not good. I mucked up at school
Chad: Oh? It’s not exam season is it
Carson: No. I just... I was painting and Ariadne came to talk to me and then the bell rang and all my intrusive thoughts started up and she didn’t finish what she was saying. She probably thinks I’m a rude idiot
Chad: Carson, remember how we talked about mind reading?
Carson: Sort of. It’s like imagining what another person is thinking
Tumblr media
Chad: Yep. It’s also a notoriously unreliable train of thought. There’s no way for us to know what someone else is thinking
Carson: Unless we ask?
Chad: Exactly. So while it might be easy to imagine that everyone is thinking the worst of us, it doesn’t make it true. How have you found talking to her when the intrusive thoughts are more quiet?
Carson: Good. Really good. I held her hands and it felt great
Chad: Have you read up on asexuality at all?
Tumblr media
Carson: Oh I have and it was good! Like just... exactly what I feel and think has a name. It was... validating. Yeah, validating. I don’t know how touch averse I am, I guess I’ll find out with time
Chad: I’m glad to hear that. Is there anything else you want to discuss before we get to today’s workshop?
Carson: No I’m good
Chad: Great. So last time was all about identifying your symptoms and thoughts. Today we’re going to revise that and discuss some ways to apply reasoned arguments to those thoughts
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After he had finished with Chad, Carson hoped on the ferry home and gave his mum a call.
Carson: Hey Mum, my session is all finished. Do you need me to grab anything on the way home
Kayleigh: Oh sweetie I’m sending the new address to your phone
Carson: New address?
Kayleigh: YES! The movers came while you were at school and we’re all set up
Carson: So strangers were touching my stuff? Mum do you know how many germs they could have left?
Kayleigh: We got you some brand new stuff to, don’t worry. You’re going to love it. If you want to clean anything I can help, okay?
Tumblr media
Carson worried all the way to the new house. People touching his stuff? When he got there he was pleased to see there were no internal stairs though, much safer. Kayleigh showed him his room and while he was apprehensive he couldn’t deny that his mum had done a good job of preserving his things. Once he was settled Kayleigh left him to do his homework. The light here was much nicer to, but he’d probably have to be careful for mold with his room sitting above the water. Could sharks break through floors like Lachrymose Leeches if they smelled food on him?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Harvey: How’d your appointment go? Are you liking Chad
Carson: Yeah he’s really chill. Helps me not feel so stressed
Kayleigh: I’m sorry we didn’t give you a heads up about the move but we didn’t want you to make yourself sick with worry before we were here
Carson: *sighs* It’s not cool mum
Harvey: It wasn’t just her, we decided together. Be mad at both of us if you are
Tumblr media
Carson: Do sharks break through floors?
Kayleigh: I don’t think so but if you want to know I’m sure your sister knows
Harvey: She is a marine biologist
Carson: Yeah I might do that
Kayleigh: And we’re hiring a maid. They’ll come every weekday and clean however much of your room and bathroom you want
Harvey: You’re so smart sugar
Carson: Oh watcher, could you wait until I’m out of the room before kissing? Yeesh
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our first visitor was eldest child Charlie!
Harvey: You found us!
Charlie: Too easily. The paparazzi are going to find you here you know
Harvey: As if, I don’t think they know where Sulani even is. Come play chess?
Charlie follows her dad to the back porch, gives her mum a kiss on the cheek hello, and sets down to play. Harvey however is not a great player and the game is soon over with Charlie the victor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kayleigh: Alright my turn
Charlie: You think you can win
Kayleigh: I taught you how to play remember
Charlie: Yeah with a long gap and more kids in the middle
Kayleigh: I’ve been tuning my skills for promotion, you’ll see
Indeed Charlie does. Although she does her best to distract her mum during the game with claims of spotting sea monsters in the distance, Kayleigh is the final victor of the night.

Broadcasting Live from Amity Arena...
“Hey everybody, it’s me, Ruby Rose! So, um, I’ve only done this once before, so- wait, is this thing even on?! Am I talking to myself? It is on? Okay, great, thanks Yang… eeep! That means I’m talking to like, a zillion people! Okay, deep breaths Rubes, you can do this…
“So, um, most of you have probably heard the news by now: Rooster Teeth, our home for our whole lives, is shutting down. We’re really sad about it, too. Especially because of all of our great friends at CRWBY who just lost their jobs. They’ve put so much imagination and hard work and love into bringing us to you, some of them have practically grown up with us! So before you worry about us Huntresses, worry about them… Weiss has enough stashed away to keep me in cookies for like, ever, but… they’re the ones who have to eat and pay bills and stuff. So think about them, be nice to them, and thank them for everything they’ve given the world, okay?
“As for us? Me and Weiss and Blake and Yang and everyone else? Well, obviously, we don’t know what’s next! There’s a pretty good chance that we’ll find a new home, we’re pretty popular… Weiss is always telling me I’m the cutest dolt ever, and have you seen how adorable Blake’s ears are? Maybe we’ll get to keep on the same adventure we’ve been having, maybe we’ll start something entirely new… maybe even a little bit of both! So, optimistic and excited about that! Eeep, I hope my voice doesn’t change!
“But, y’know, that might not happen. Maybe this really is our retirement notice, and if it is… that’s okay too. We’ve been on so many adventures over the past 10 years- wow, 10 years! We’ve seen and done some crazy cool things! We’ve made new friends along the way (hey Jess! Glad to have you!), we’ve found love (Yang! Blake! Could you stop traumatizing Weiss and keep your mouths off each other’s faces for like, five minutes!), and a whole bunch of other stuff. We’ve been true to ourselves, telling an amazing story that’s meant so much to so many of you, and that’s all that our dad ever wanted for us.
“And it’s not like we’re really going anywhere! Even if we get to retire to a beach on Menagerie- YANG IT IS NOT A TOPLESS BEACH!- we’ll still be in your hearts! We’d love to keep telling your stories… and as long as someone keeps us in their imagination, we’ll always be down to go on another adventure with you! So… I guess I’m saying, thank YOU so much for everything we’ve shared, hope for the best, and we love you all!”
Yours Forever,
Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, and the Gang (even Cinder & Neo!)

Okay you said anything fluffy or angsty so I will deliver!
Reader saving someone's life on a case but ignored protocol and direct orders in the field in the process and she has to have a meeting with Strauss and Hotch. Hotch is being more understanding compared to Strauss but Strauss is being very bitchy and unfair so reader gets into a huge argument with Strauss (nearly a full on fight but Hotch doesn't let it get that far and acts sort of as a mediator for them) after the meeting Hotch can obviously see reader is very upset and angry (like she's about to hit someone or something) but he calms her down and hugs her and just some fluffy stuff <33
Bonus points if Hotch has to physically stop/block reader from getting up in Erin's face because he's afraid she'll actually hit Erin lmfao.
I love love love this <33
“What were you thinking?” Hotch asks.
“Well, I wasn’t thinking tha-”
“That’s right,” Strauss cuts you off, rage boiling below the surface of her words. “That’s exactly right. You weren’t thinking. You were insubordinate.”
“I was going to say,” you snap, and Hotch grimaces, “that I didn’t think I was going to get a new asshole ripped because I saved a kid.”
Strauss sets down her pen, eyeing you over the top of her glasses. “Agent, I think you need to understand how the chain of command works around here. The bottom line is that you obeyed a direct order from your commander.”
“The bottom line is that nobody else died!” You argue.
“Alright, okay,” Hotch cuts in. “Agent, you know that your actions were unprofessional. We just need to discuss what can be done in similar circumstances in the future.”
You and Strauss turn to him at the same time, speaking over one another.
“I wouldn’t change a thing!”
“You’re letting her on the field after this?”
Your chair scrapes the floor of Hotch’s office as you stand up. “You want me off the field? You can’t be serious!”
“I certainly can be.” Strauss looks up at you without an ounce of fear on her face. “If I had my way, you’d be on your way out of the FBI and packing your desk right now.”
Hotch can hardly move fast enough to block you with one arm as you lurch forward, as though you’re ready to push the older woman off her chair. “That’s enough!” He raises his voice, and you both go quiet. “Okay. We aren’t getting anywhere like this. Agent, take a seat. Erin, let me handle this. You and I can discuss it later.”
Strauss shakes her head almost imperceptibly, but stands up. “You need to handle this,” she warns Hotch, who gives her a sharp nod in turn. “Do not make me regret letting you vouch for her, Aaron.”
The warning isn’t necessary. “I understand, ma’am.”
As she starts towards the office door, you sit back down and Hotch resumes speaking. “I don’t have to tell you that what you did was stupid. It was reckless. You got lucky, and there was a good chance that you could have hurt exactly as many people as you saved; yourself included.”
“You, too?” Tears of anger are stinging at your eyes, and you wipe them away furiously before they have a chance to fall. The door clicks shut behind Strauss, but you hardly register it. “She could have died, and I stopped that from happening.”
“I know,” Hotch murmurs, and his voice is suddenly a lot calmer than it was just moments ago when Strauss was in earshot. “I know. But we had a plan. And more importantly, you could have been hurt.”
“But I didn’t. And she didn’t. Everyone’s fine,” you protest.
“I know,” he repeats. “I know. But you got lucky. You got… very lucky. You can’t risk it like that again, do you understand me?”
You nod your head and stand back up, turning away from his desk. Tears are still threatening to spill over, and you press the heel of your hands into your eyes until your head starts to spin. “I know.”
“Good. Listen, hey,” Hotch stands up as well, circling the desk to stand in front of you. “Hey. Let me handle Strauss. I’m just glad you’re alright, that’s all. If you had gotten hurt out there…” he inhaled deeply, willing away the images that flash across his mind of just how badly your judgement call could have gone.
He watches while you nod again, and this time when you lurch forward you wrap both arms around his midsection as you start to cry.
It’s a surprising reaction, but he recalls being a wreck like this after tough cases as a new agent, so he takes it in stride. One arm wraps around your lower back and the other strokes your hair, rubbing circles while you sob into his suit jacket. “We just don’t want you getting hurt,” he whispers, unsure if you can hear him. “That’s all. Your safety is the most important thing, at all times.”
You hiccup against him and then pull away slightly, wiping at your eyes. “I’m sorry,” you croak, and Hotch shakes his head.
“There’s no need to be,” he promises. “Just don’t try to get lucky like that again. Please.”

Okay, so last week my sleep schedule was beyond fucked up and I had a friend staying with me so I didn’t get to watch the new CM until WAY too late and my reactions were barely existent and I almost fell asleep before it ended cause it was almost 6am by then. So I’m rewatching last week rn (while working on other stuff) before watching the new ep. Expect some notes from last week but not a lot I guess lol!
We love a good female unsub.
I STILL do not understand how Emily got full ass arrested over this shit, like yeah brian accused her, but they don’t really have any grounds for arrest, esp her being fbi?? She should have been asked to come down for questioning but that was it. She never should have actually been booked. (though this DOES play into the whole conspiracy thing. Like get her arrested/out of the way/a reason for the upper people to get rid of her or have something to hold over her head. Like, her getting arrested would be part of the whole gold star thing). WITHOUT that though, make it make sense.  GOD to be a lawyer in the CM universe must be THE most annoying thing in the entire world LOL.
This red coat will forever and always be one of my top fave wardrobe items of em’s
Okay but like, the coke “conspiracy theory” seems pretty legit LOL. But em is like.. losing it. She’s tunnel visioned on this gold star case and isn’t sleeping and like, my girl just needs rest and peace for ONCE please.
Jj wanting to talk but not having the courage to bring it up just hurts me man.
“contracted to kill gold star” I thought gold star was an operation? Or a team? Or was that found out later in this episode….LOL
Honestly… Emily breaking the rules/law is not OOC at all. and her asking Garcia to help her (and Garcia complying) isn’t either, it’s happened before in canon. And like.. when em’s getting shoved to the utmost bottom, she’s never above breaking protocol, even if she is in charge. Look at the lauren arc, look at her battle with barnes, her standing up to strauss, she’s always done whatever she thinks is right, it’ll get her answers, even if they can’t be used in court.
Voit looks SO much like someone I work with and that weirds me out LOL.
Mega points for Sydney for standing up for herself. I’m super glad she’s been given some time to shine this season.
Okay either Emily has had some sense knocked into her w saying “this case isn’t gold star until we prove it” or she thinks its an utter waste of time…
You’re SERIOUSLY telling me Penelope Garcia of all people didn’t see “star light star bright” and think of the nursery rhyme? That she wasted how ever many of her guesses and didn’t come up with something along the lines of “wish tonight”?!!!? that shit’s TOO easy…
If last season gave Emily a migraine, dealing with all of this and esp brian should be giving her an aneurysm lol.
The girl playing holly is incredible, I hope she gets the career she deserves. Also.. she deserved to attack voit, like her sister is young enough she’s still living in a weird confused/delusional point where she doesn’t really get what’s going on. holly’s old enough she knows her entire life is completely fucked up by her dad being a killer. That her family’s torn apart, she’s watching her mom barely keep it together, they have to move, again and again, new school, new friends, over and over all in a feeble attempt to try and stay safe from their dad who’s supposed to stay in prison?
Yeah this girl’s absolutely going through it. She loves her dad and misses what they had before everyone found out what he was actually doing.
Not voit getting TWO fucks in one sentence! He is right though about holly being in trouble and needing help now. Maybe he’s self reflecting a little bit, I can’t remember if his past was discussed last season LO, I’m remembering something but I might be fucking up plot lines… EITHER WAY, he sees a bit of himself in holly and doesn’t want her to turn out like him, which could be considered remorse…
JJ asking about Emily and how she’s doing after em asks about Sydney and the girls… just absolutely proves what everyone online was BITCHING hardcore about, with em “not caring about jj” they’re both going through hell, they’re both exhausted, I bet jj didn’t sleep the night before either. JJ wants to know about em and is checking in with her, she knows everyone’s going through it and when asked about her shit, she brushes it off cause she knows both of them are under stress, that she can bring it up later rather than dump everything on em when she’s struggling to hold herself and the team together. Sometimes you have to wait on things like that.. it’s just life.
If tyler and Penelope had met under ANY different circumstance I would be here for it, but I refuse to be the way it was done.
Emily v Voit is giving me so much life. Why didn’t they just send her in first? Lol. Like yeah voit ends up getting what he wants, but also, she’s so fucking cocky about the way it  happens and she can read him like no tomorrow and that’s after no sleep and all that shit? Tell me your powerful without telling me your powerful.
Okay, imma check if the new ep is up yet, if it is, I’ll be back right away, if not, I’ll see ya in a couple of hours…
Alright, I decided to finish writing some headcanons and got distracted and opened twitter to a gif of Emily smoking from the new ep and it was the hottest thing ive ever seen so let’s pray the new ep is up…
HERE WE GOOOOO
Oh we’re starting WAY back with last season flashbacks? Oh GOD this is gonna be a rough episode isn’t it??
Emily needs a hug, a nap and an orgasm.
Jfc this got creepy right off the bat… like voit was slightly okay in the past eps and now he’s just playing into the psycho
Im sorry, the fbi assassinated WHO? I cannot function without my subtitles and there are TOO many names/people in this season over the total season arc that I keep losing track….
Okay so at least it’s not just em’s ID they haven’t updated, rossi’s is old as fuck too..
“its not the first time I’ve crossed ethical and legal boundaries for this case” Rebecca: “and I didn’t hear that…” LOOOOLL
 AND THIS IS WHY  I SAID ID NEVER WANT TO BE A LAWYER IN THIS UNIVERSE
I understand that they said any previous deal would be off the table if voit fucked around with them but are you SERIOUSLY trusting him to provide the message and it not be something to alert them?
Okay but shout out to voit for being the first person to refer to tara as “Dr Lewis” in like.. forever
“you neglected to ask me that” dude’s right… you didn’t ask. That’s on you.
I really like the way they’re profiling this situation from both points and jumping back and fourth,
LOOOOLLL the morse code. Fucking called it.
ANND LUKE GETS A FUCK! YES
“can you do that? without fingerprints?” homegirl is about to get herself fired, isn’t she? (she don’t care either so…)
I know Rebecca being close to voit is like, a legal thing and the jurisdiction and shit but it worries me. Imma be surprised if she makes it through this season.
Jfc Emily is SO hot. I adore they keep putting her in blue!
Voit being the comedic relief was not on my bingo card.
YEESS JJ WITH THE “SO SHUT THE FUCK UP”
Not fuckin voit giving the ship a name.. my dude.. stop.
Lmao, Rebecca, he’s not actually gonna confess a crime babe…
“youre not under arrest, you’re here as a person of interest on a 24 hr hold” WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHOULDVE HAPPENED TO EMILY
“useful idiot” IM TELLING YOU EM TO BRIAN IS FRANKIE TO THE DEAN
Not him gaslighting her!
I know part of it is tv, but part of it is reality that plain clothed officers look EXACTLY like cops. Like, everyone can tell that you’re looking over your shoulder and being suspicious. Someone watching for cops isn’t gonna be that dumb.
Wow that team really had ONE good shooter? You serious?? Jj could have got that in a second.
The way Penelope knows about bombs?? That definitely came from derek.
UGH NOO BUT YESS the look on rebecca’s face when tara said she was staying with the bomb. There’s still love there and I swear to fuck if there’s some dying confession of love that’s my 13th reason
Not jade literally being in the same fucking park…
Ive been saying it for years but without Garcia… the team wouldn’t solve a single fucking case.
Okay I GET THAT THERE’S A FUCKING BOMB but like.. both tara and luke and ALL the surrounding officers are SO focused o that and are COMPLETELY ignoring voit.. that bitch could and would have been completely gone if it wasn’t for rossi and the sniper with him…
“this piece of shit” YES. Listen, I know we’re all feral for swearing, but as someone with a potty mouth who works in an industry when we’re always swearing, it’s so natural to me, and it makes things seem more real.
OH FUCK NO
HOW WAS THAT DUDE SO FUCKING DUMB?!?!? WHY WASN’T THERE LIKE 50 OFFICERS AROUND TO MAKE SURE SHIT LIKE THIS DIDN’T HAPPEN. MY GODDDD
But now voits back in his cell…
Ugghhh rebeccccaaaaaa
“im not at my best right now” “pfft. LOOK AROUND”
How DARE THEY end the ep like that. like the smoking part and her not giving a FUCK about it being inside and in her office was one thing, but the dire attempt to keep her composure and keep it together until she got out of the building only to utterly break down in dave’s arms?!?! Im sobbing. I honestly don’t think we’ve seen her cry *like that* since she was abducted by scratch…. They really turned to paget and said “hope you’re ready to act this season…”
Fuck.
I.. what an episode.. part of me feels the intense need to write some form of fix it fic… woof.

Remember Summer Days: Chapter 4 - Talking, Only Me and You
Tumblr media
Chapter 3
AO3 Link
Thank you, thank you to those who read. My little passion project is moving along, and new ideas are flourishing. There's a fork in the road for which direction to take.
Word Count: 3K
Thanks @actuallysaiyan, for talking me through some aspects of this. Special shout out to @pixelcafe-network.
Pairings: Satoru Gojo x OC (Female Lead)
Notes: This entire story will be fluff, no smut. Of course, you'll have your suggestive dialogue from Gojo, but in the "that's what she said" kind of way.
July 2007
[Satoru]: Yo Izzy. What’s up?
She’s glad that she did not have to initiate this conversation.
[Izzy]: Not much. Finished up homework, just listening to music.
[Satoru]: Do you just listen to Interpol or is there anything else that you like?
[Izzy]: Earlier, I was listening to the Postal Service. Now, I’m listening to a song that just came out recently. 
[Satoru]: Oh? What’s it called?
[Izzy]: Young Folks by Peter, Bjorn, and John. It’s really catchy.
[Satoru]: I’d need to hear it. 
[Izzy]: I could help with that. 
There was suddenly an incoming call from Satoru’s end, he picked up. 
“Okay, ready to listen to it. I could just put my phone near the stereo speaker.”
The whistling can be heard and it’s immediately catchy. Isabel sits next to the stereo and allows Satoru to listen to the song all the way through.
“I can see why the song is super catchy. The whistling is pretty cool. Let me see if can do it.” Satoru isn’t a terrible whistler, but it impresses Isabel. 
“Alright let me try”. Isabel attempts to whistle and can get the intro to the song before running out of air. 
“Ha! You could barely do it”
“Oh shut up! I made an effort!”
“A terrible effort!”
“Pssh, whatever then! I can just hang up right now then.”
“No wait! Don’t be like that!”
“Dude, you have your friends to entertain!”
“Not really, we all went to the beach today, and now we’re just kind of enjoying our space for the moment.”
“Oh? Which beach?”
“We decided to go to Malibu today.”
“Did you take the scenic route?”
“Oh absolutely. Too bad our car isn’t a convertible.”
“Poor little rich boy.”
“Hey!”
“It’s true. You have a driver and you’re complaining that the car isn’t a convertible. Not many people have that luxury, dude.”
“Is dude a common word spoken here?” “Oh, yeah, it is. Sorry, I call everyone that. It’s how we express ourselves here a lot. Where are you from by the way?”
“We’re from Japan. Tokyo to be exact.”
“You’re so cool. I’d like to go someday. I blame my love for Sailor Moon for that, plus other anime.”
“Oh yeah, what else have you seen?”
“You know, the usual, Pokémon, Digimon, Cardcaptor Sakura, stuff like that.”
“Wait, you watched Digimon?” asked Satoru.
“Oh totally! I was obsessed with it as a kid! Why?” Isabel responds.
“I love Digimon too!”
“Oh cool. Did you have a favourite?” asked Isabel.
“Wargreymon was pretty cool. Though, I don’t think SkullGreymon gets a lot of credit.”
“Dude, Skullgreymon was kind of dark.”
“I know, but you gotta admit that he looked very cool?”
“I doubt that Tai felt that way, watching his best friend not recognize him.”
“Aww, we’re getting sappy here?” Satoru responds playfully. 
“Hey, the show was all about the power of friendship to conquer evil!” 
“You’re such a dork, Izzy.”
“You’re a bigger dork for knowing about Digimon, and knowing Augumon’s Digivolutions.”
“Touché. I’m not ashamed of liking Digimon.”
“I never asked, how old are you, Satoru?”
“17. What about you? Are you 12?”
She giggles. “That would be creepy, and no, I’m 16. You're pretty tall for a 17-year-old. Bet you could touch the sky.”
“Maybe I should try at some point.”
There was comfortable silence on both lines. Despite this, Isabel was smiling. Satoru also was smiling. 
“Are you bored?” asked Isabel.
“I’m not. Am I boring you?” 
“I doubt you could ever be a bore.” 
“Oh absolutely. I’m the life of the party.”
“You’re probably already having a party.”
“I’m not!”
“There’s a quote. One is a company, two is a crowd, and three is a party. With your friends there, it mine as well be a party.”
“Are you suggesting we throw a party right now?”
“I mean, no one is stopping you. You have a whole house to yourself and no adults. God knows what else you could get away with.”
“That sounds pretty tempting. We have a pool.”
“Well, there you go! You could throw a bitching party.”
“I’ll have to let them know.”
She seems a lot more outgoing. I wonder where this comfort is coming from.
“Hey, not to be a party pooper, I could keep talking to you forever…but I got to go to sleep soon. I still have school tomorrow.”
“I could keep you up all night.”
“Oh gross, dude.”
“Just saying, Izzy.”
“No thanks. I want to sleep. Good night!”
“Good night, Izzy. See you Friday.”
Isabel had to make an effort to be on time on Friday night. She knew that it would take a while to get there by bus. The La Brea Tar Pits can be considered unromantic to some. The smell of burning rubber lingers in the area; most people either tolerate or hate the smell. Isabel tolerates it, but only because it’s historical. The fact that prehistoric matter still lingers beneath the tar makes her wonder what defined LA before the skyscrapers and highrises. 
She was waiting by a bench inside. No sign of Satoru, but the sun was still shining brightly. She had the knowledge to get her what she wanted played into her ears. Isabel was focusing on this lyric. She didn’t know what she was going to say to Satoru about during this outing. 
Was there a layer that she was hiding within? She knew in her heart that she was instantly attracted to him, but she didn’t want to make it obvious. Does he see through her?
“Yo! Izzy!” Satoru makes himself known from the distance where Isabel is sitting. Whatever doubt that she may feel in this moment, she needs to stow it away and protect it. He doesn’t need to know what she’s feeling at this moment. “You good?” asked Satoru. “Oh yeah, totally. Just kind of lost in thought. Let’s walk around!” she immediately gets up and motions for Satoru to follow her.
When you enter the La Brea Tar Pits, you get a sense that this area must be fake. Upon further inspection, you can see the tar still rumbling beneath the earth. The area where Isabel was escorting Satoru was known as the Lake Pit. There is a family of mammoths; a mother, a baby, and the father. Unfortunately, one of the adult mammoths is portrayed as sinking into the tar, while the the baby and the parent are in distress.
“Wow, Izzy, you sure know how to make a guy go head over heels.” 
Isabel felt her face getting red. “Oh shut up. I’m not trying to make you head over heels.”
“I’ll have you know that I have a roster of girls back home.”
“Eww, save your stories for another day, Casanova.”
“Hey, you said it, not me.”
Satoru notices that there’s a smile appearing on Isabel’s face. 
Is there something that she likes?
“Who or what has you smiling like that?”
Isabel remains silent, and they pause at the bridge in the middle of the Lake Pit. 
“So contrary to belief, the smell and the bubbles here are due to an oil field underneath here. These only were excavated maybe under a hundred years ago. I think they’ve only been able to find a few fossils from the pits that were manmade with time. I can’t imagine when they’ll be able to find more.”
Isabel realized that she was talking very excitedly and felt her face getting hot once again. Satoru witnessed her turning red like a tomato. 
“Aww no, don’t stop. It’s kind of cute to see you like this,” he said. 
This only caused her to further shy away from him. She wanted to create a bigger chasm between her and Satoru. She turned around and proceeded to walk away. She began to walk faster and then began to run. She felt silly, but she didn’t know how to confront these feelings that she was feeling. 
“Hey, wait up, where are you going?!” 
Isabel stood at 5’3’; Meanwhile, Satoru stood at 6’3. There was no way that she would be able to outrun him. Satoru was able to reach Isabel within seconds. He slowly grabbed her left arm, “Ha! You can’t outrun me. You’re so tiny.” he smirked. 
“Don’t say shit like that. It makes me feel weird. Also, please let go of my arm.”
“It was cute. Also, do you kiss your mother with that mouth? ” Satoru releases the grip he has on her. l
“Cute is not a word defined towards me. And yes, I kiss my mom with this mouth, but she hates it. Ugh! Let’s go, we’re going to a museum. We can access through the park.”
“Aww, we get to live your little fantasy now like in Ferris Bueller?”
“No, fool. I’m just showing you around. It’s free tonight anyways.”
Why is she blushing so much? 
Walking side by side, they made it to the museum entrance. Isabel began to walk with her arms crossed. Satoru walked along with his hands in his pockets. The body language here would indicate that neither person wants to be touched. However, for Satoru, it would just help him with keeping his hands to himself. Boundaries are a challenge for him, but for her, he would do his best to not touch her. 
They walked up and down the stairs into different buildings observing different collections. Isabel walked around excitedly and pointed to each piece. There was a Roy Lichstein painting that stood out. It was known as “Cold Shoulder”. A woman has her back facing the viewer. There’s a bubble that just says “Hello…”. 
Isabel feels that she could be the woman in this painting. She ponders if she is giving Satoru the cold shoulder. She is eager for a connection with him and hopes that it’s there. He wonders if Isabel is purposely trying to keep him at arm’s distance. Why would she? She’s the one that asked him to hang out. Her smiles and blushing cheeks indicate something different, but she’s communicating in a way that says “Don’t get too close”. 
“I like his work because it looks like it belongs in a book, but instead it exists as a painting,” she says. Isabel walks away and he soon follows. Satoru looks at the time. It’s nearly 8 pm. “Hey, are you feeling hungry? Do you know a place that could be worth checking out?”
“Oh there’s this great Brazilian place, but it’s a bit of a walk from here.” 
“We could walk or take the car”. 
“Whatever you want, dude. I think you get to enjoy the sights more if you walk.” 
“Walking it is. Lead the way.” 
After the 20-minute walk to the Farmer’s Market, they went to a Churrascaria. This specific spot had different cuts of meat and the cost is how much you get on your plate. 
“Lead the way” Satoru mentioned. 
Isabel led him towards a line. The line was a little long and it was going around the door. “It’s quite busy sometimes, but the line will go fast. Alright, so here’s the rundown. You just get a plate, get whatever you want on it. At the end, you’ll choose your different cuts of meat. Any questions?”
“Yeah, what do you often get?”
“Oh! My fav is the cheese bread, I could eat it all day! I often get a little bowl of black beans, it’s a big vice for me. Maybe some potatoes? But, I’ll often get the sirloin and the lamb afterwards.” Satoru observed that she had a big smile in explaining things and was really bubbly about it. 
“Is this one your favourite place to come to?”
“Oh yeah, pretty much. I come here pretty often with my parents and my friend invited me out here at some point.”
Upon the pair grabbing their plates, Isabel was under the impression that she would pay for her own, but just as she was about to take her wallet, Satoru interjected, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“What? Did I do something wrong?”
“No no, it’s my treat.”
“Why? I can pay for my meal.”
“Come on, Izzy, I got this. Let me take care of this.”
“Fine! Can I at least get dessert after? I have a sweet tooth.” 
“Dessert?! Pssh, yeah! You know I love sweets”
“What the fuck? Is this a date? I thought we were just friends? Right?” thought Isabel. 
“What do you think of the food?” Isabel asks.
“Oh, it’s pretty good! I can see why you love the cheese bread! It’s awesome!”
“I told you! It’s honestly one of my favourite things here. I figured after we finish eating, we could walk around and head to the outdoor mall nearby.”
“Wow, Izzy, you have everything figured out.”
“I don’t mean to, I just figured you have stuff to do.”
“Nah, I’m hanging out with you. Plus, Suguru and Shoko went to hang out on the Sunset Strip.”
“I don’t think there’s a lot of stuff for kids our age to do there, but maybe. What do I know? I’m telling you, you can throw a pretty bitching party at your rental home.” 
“You’re just full of bad ideas aren’t you?” 
“I’m not telling you to do it, merely just suggesting.”
I hope he’s having fun. I wouldn’t want to bore him at all. He probably would’ve been bored by now. He would tell me, right?
“What would you suggest for dessert?”
“I suggest donuts or ice cream. What are you feeling like having?”
“I think you should choose, Izzy. You’re pretty spot on with your suggestions”.
“Donuts! They’ve been here since before the 1950’s. Plus, I love their plain donut.”
“You like them plain?!”
“Yeah, it’s the best donut there is!”
“You’re crazy.”
“Maybe I am.”
As night fell, their dinner was over, and they walked over to the donut stand. Isabel ordered her plain donut, and he ordered a dozen donuts. “Are you planning on sharing those?” Isabel asked. “I don’t share.” retorted Satoru.
“Jeez, you have quite the appetite,” Isabel mentioned.
“I wasn’t kidding about the sweet tooth, plus I have a pretty high metabolism.” 
“Just as long you don’t get a tummy ache later. Wouldn’t want that for you.” 
“Well aren’t you a thoughtful one?” smirked Satoru.
“Don’t want that to ruin your night, that’s all” she muttered.
“What was that?” 
“Nothing! Here, let me show you around.” 
Upon walking there’s a trolley that goes around the mall. The thing that stands out the most is the water fountain display. It synchronizes with the music that plays throughout the area. The music played is often jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong, Miles Davis, etc. There was a bench nearby where the duo decided to sit and enjoy their dessert.
“So what do you think about today?”
“Honestly, this has been pretty fun. Got to see a whole other part of this city that I didn’t think was possible.”
“I haven’t shown you everything, but it would be near impossible to show you every single part. This place is massive”
“I guess we’ll just have to do the best that we can. Hey, can I ask you something?”
“Yeah, shoot.”
“Are you typically this outgoing?”
“No. I’m very shy and afraid of letting others get near me. However, when I begin to feel comfortable, some would say I become little Ms. Chatterbox. I was voted that at camp last year.”
“I see. Izzy, you know a lot about a lot of things and I don’t think you should diminish your light for anyone, including yourself.”
She felt tears forming. A tear was shed from her left eye. “Oh? That’s not supposed to happen.”
“Oh? Did I say something wrong? If I did, I’m really sorry!”
“No! I just think it’s not something I’m used to hearing. That’s all, you’re cool, dude.”
A calm wind swept by. Hair flowing and a quiet followed. 
“I just realized you’re still wearing your sunglasses at night. Do you ever plan to take them off?”
“I could, do you want me to? “Only if you want…Toru.”
He takes off his glasses. She sees his blue eyes. They’re beautiful to look at, just like he is. A blush appears again on her face. His ears are slightly pink as well. 
“Your eyes are beautiful…I had a lot of fun today.” a warmth continues to rush through her. Butterflies are fluttering in the stomach. 
“Same, Izzy. Do you want to go home?”
“Yeah, thanks for offering me a lift. I suggest the scenic route.” 
As the pair get in the car, Isabel indicates the address where she lives. She mentions driving along Beverly Blvd. 
“Oh yeah, I know this neighbourhood. I used to live around there!” the driver mentions.
“Oh cool! Do you live nearby?”
“Near Vermont, not too far from here.” the driver responds.
As they make their way back home, Isabel begins drifting in and out of sleep. School plus an entire outing would exhaust anyone. Satoru turns to look; he notices that Isabel has fallen asleep. Upon seeing this, he also sees a structure in one of the hills. “Hey, what’s that building there? On those hills?” Satoru asks the driver.
“Oh, that’s the Griffith Observatory. It just reopened a while back to the general public. It was just remodelled. Pretty great place to get a view of the city. You should check it out.”
“I’ll make an effort to check it out. Maybe bring her along.” Satoru points to a sleeping Isabel. 
“Sounds like a plan.” 
Arriving at her house, Satoru gently nudges Isabel awake. “Wha? What happened?”
“You’re home, Izzy.”
“Oh, I’m sorry for falling asleep.”
Satoru opens the door for Isabel to step in. As promised, he walks her to the doorstep. 
I want to hug him, but I really shouldn’t…
“Thanks for a fun day…Toru”. She glances at Satoru and smiles at him. 
We’re not here for long, so be careful…
“See you around.” he smiles back.

so a bit about me, im a she/her but honestly i don't mind any pronouns, my gender expression is all over the place and i like experimenting a lot!
im an optimistic and sensitive person and i always try my best to be kind, polite and friendly towards everyone. being all happy and sunshine-y comes naturally to me 😼 i can be a bit moody due to my social anxiety but i try really hard to just be myself and do whatever i want, regardless of what other people might think of me😇😇
im creative and curious and i like having fun!!! my friends often describe me as weird, but like in a good way, as if im some strange whimsical creature. im super artsy and express my weird style proudly, both in the way i dress and how i present myself ‼️‼️‼️ i know physical appearance probably doesn't matter, but for a long while ive had a buzz cut despite being very feminine otherwise :3 fun times. nowadays im trying to grow a mullet
hobbieees. oh i have many. overall i enjoy anything crafty that requires using my hands, so i spend my free time drawing, building stuff, playing instruments, sewing clothes or plushies. i like to study, both for school and to satiate my personal curiosity on random topics :Dddd i also really like the outdoors and often explore new local and even far away places just for the fun of it ✌️ i constantly try new things and activities and just try to live my life to the fullest
i like nature, art, animals, bugs. iam a huge bug lover. the stranger the bug the better 🙏💞 i like learning new things, i like space, horror movies, sweet food, music, mangos, flowers, funky earrings. i like a lot of things.... on the other hand there's not much things i dislike, except for the usual like.... idk bad people, hate, drama. but yeah everyone dislikes that. specific things that i don't like however are getting yelled at, being babied/underestimated and having to deal with ppl who are way too pessimistic. it can be exhausting!!
there aren't any characters i wouldn't want to be matched up with, but my favs are floyd, malleus, jack and sebek if that helps! 🥳
ok this was really long 💔 thank u for reading it all!!! hope u have a great day!!! 💫
My first fan! Your reward: the satisfaction of knowing I’m twisting my hair and kicking my feet and giggling while I read this. Also, apologies for the delay.
== Twisted Wonderland ==>
I match you up with…
Lilia Vanrouge 
Pre-relationship:
Lilia is glad to have another sunshine-y person around such a dour school. You two are fast friends, and he wonders if you wouldn’t be better suited to RSA what with your kindness and positivity. 
Regardless, he’s glad to have made such a lovely friend. 
He’s your number one fan when it comes to embracing your hobbies or weirdness. He does the same, and so the two of you spend a lot of time talking about your passions and exploring new things together. 
He buys you strange clothes and trinkets all the time, like a crow collecting shiny things. Some of the stuff he brings you is truly strange, and you’re not sure how he got his hands on it…but it’s the thought that counts, right? 
He will 100% want you involved in the pop music club, whether that’s playing an instrument or making posters. He just likes having you around whenever he can; you’re like a ray of sun to him. 
Confession: 
Lilia denied his feelings for you at first. He knew that his history was violent and much longer than yours, and he felt that he could never expose you to that part of himself. 
But one way or another, you find out, and when you accept and embrace him, I imagine he feels such love and affection for you that he almost confesses right there and then. 
He takes his time to plan the confession: taking you on a trip to see something cool, and then asking at just the right moment, like the romantic he is. 
Relationship:
Lilia would want to take you to see the world with him. You two would spend all vacations in different countries and cities, taking in the world and spending all of your time together. 
Some dates are just the two of you staying home and learning together, though. If one of you sees something they’re interested in, the whole evening can be spent learning about it side by side, exchanging kisses between paragraphs and documentaries. 
The best part of the relationship is that you and Lilia push eachother to experience new things, whether that be you showing him creepy bugs, or him taking you skydiving. 
You two never fail to bring out the best in one another, and have so much fun along the way.

Hey Ben!
I first found your blog when i was 13 years old and i just turned 18! I’ve been watching (or rather reading) as you’ve grown, and I’d like to say that you seem to have turned out to be a pretty great person. Even though I hadn’t faced the same challenges as you, it was really comforting to know that i was not alone with personal struggles, and just how hard growing up is. Thank you for being you and sharing that with so many people! I head off to university when my planet transitions to fall, and since you’re out of school now do you have and recommendations for college/university? It seems like such a daunting change, but you seemed to have handled it well. (I mean you did graduate so that’s a pretty big success!) Again I’m super proud of you!
-P.S.
Im glad that you’re getting back in contact with Fannie! You should totally invite her on a day out (go to a park, hang out in a market, etc.) I think those are great ways to better connect with someone if they feel a little distant. (plus that could be a perfect opportunity to ask her if she would like to move in with you)!
Thanks! Stay Awesome Ben!
Hey anon! Congrats on becoming an adult! It’s okay if you don’t feel like one yet, haha—Force knows I didn’t when I was eighteen. I’m glad I could share my growing-up experiences with you and everyone! And I'm glad you think I'm a decent guy. I try. Well, usually.
Congrats on getting into university! Oh, what? You're asking me for advice? Well, yeah, I guess I did graduate, heh. Sure, I'll give it a go.
Don’t freak out about not knowing how to do stuff—like not knowing how to buy groceries, or sign a lease, or navigate local speeder lanes, or apply for a job, or any of that. I used to not know how to do any of that. I was freaked out. But somehow, I learned. And now it’s no big deal. Older students and the holonet are your friends when it comes to figuring that stuff out!
For the love of the Force: take care of yourself. Whoever was taking care of you when you were a kid isn’t there anymore. The seven-year-old in you is gonna think that means you can eat ice cream for dinner and stay up till 2am every night. Don’t. Do. That. You’re gonna need to be your own mom now. Or, you can pretend my mom, the OG Space Mom™, lives in your head and lovingly judges your life choices.
Question the things you’ve been taught. And when professors tell you to question the things you’ve been taught, question their questioning too. But don't question things forever. You need to decide what you believe about things, 'cause otherwise someone else is gonna decide for you.
You don't have to choose certain classes (or even an entire major!) just because they line up with your interests. For example—I tried taking a poetry class. Hated it. I didn't like having my creativity cramped by assignments, and I didn't learn anything I didn't already know or couldn't learn on my own.
Don’t feel pressured to date in college. I didn't date anyone (yeah, I know, you're so surprised). Sometimes I felt like I was being left behind, 'cause I saw so many of my friends get into relationships...but, I saw some nasty breakups, too. Things happen when (and if!) they're meant to happen, so there's no need to stress about it. You know?
Try new stuff! Yeah, it sounds cliche. But I let my roommate drag me to the gym when I was a squishy noodly boi, and now lifting's my thing. You never know what you might be into!
Always keep the big picture in mind. Sure, it may feel like the end of the galaxy when you flunk an exam or fail a class. But do you really think you’re gonna care about that when you’re like, fifty? Nah bro. Keep it chill. And sometimes that even means dropping out of a minor or an honors program, if you look into the future and realize it won't really make a difference.
Don't do deathsticks. If anyone offers you deathsticks tell them to go home and rethink their life.
That's all the advice I can currently think of, though I'm always happy to share more from my infinite (not really) stores of wisdom! And thanks for your advice, too—those totally sound like things Fannie would be into.
Thanks for reaching out! You're gonna do great at college, little buddy!

I agree!! aftermaths are ALWAYS my favourite to read during forced pregnancy stories and I actually hate when it ends with the yandere impregnating darling like how do u know if she truly got pregnant? where’s the horror in finding out you’re carrying your rapist’s child(ren)? how does reader deal with that? how does the yandere react to that? (I’m sure he knows but finding out the news from you yourself would surely elicit different emotions) how does he react when you say you wanna get rid of it? how do they both cope as parents? sooo many possibilities!! I’m glad to know the story I requested will not end with epel just impregnating darling!! thank you sm for that <3
also seeing as how both you and the other anon rank epel low I hope to see he be ranked higher in the future >:3
- epel felmier anon 🍎💜
ALL the freaking possibilities! The machinations of the yandere's mind when the baby-trapping (consensual or not) isn't received well is bound to be endlessly fascinating. Idk, stories work well sometimes if you let the reader imagine the hopelessness of a situation, but they work even better if you showcase it.
I'm putting the other stuff under a cut because I'm about to go on a bit of a tangent. Also, I have not read book seven yet, if anyone spoils it, I will temporarily block you until after I have read it.
I ranked Epel a C the first time because I didn't know anything about him at the time, almost every character save for the ones I really loved the designs for were lower than I would put them today, and frankly some were higher. I've done another tier list, this is not the old one. I have a pretty high opinion of most of the characters regardless of their ranking, here's the maker I used.
Tumblr media
Okay, so, I feel the need to specifically explain Crewel: I don't like being treated like a dog. Pet play is not my thing, and I do not understand the hype surrounding him whatsoever. Why would I want to hang out with someone who probably smells like a really strong, expensive cologne and refuses to call me anything other than "good boy"? No thanks, y'all can have him. Crowley is self-explanatory.
Riddle, Silver, and Lucius all have their good qualities, I will admit. But I'm the type of person who would avoid both of the people for varying reasons (Riddle is annoying, I don't like being bothered when I'm minding my own fucking business because I'm "breaking the rules" and I don't want to wake up Silver and I don't know enough about him,) and I would get irrationally mad at Lucius for always getting into fights with Grim.
C tier is somewhat similar to D for me. I'd very likely not go out of my way to interact with these guys, but they're either more approachable or less irritating than D tier. I'm sure you can see a trend with at least two of them, but most of these mfs are too high energy or too intense. Sebek is here because while I don't like petplay, I do like degradation and I think he would be excellent at that, given his usual temperament and opinion on humans. Deuce is there because I find him to be a very one-note character. Everyone in this game is well-written, but not everyone can be interesting. Trein is here because I know I'd be constantly getting in trouble in his class for drawing instead of paying attention. By the way, when did people who were 50 become old? Idk I consider old to be like 70+ but maybe that's just because of the people I grew up around.
B tier is characters that I am aware I am sleeping on, with the bonus of Vargas, who I actually like quite a bit. Not enough to put him in higher than B tier, though. Ortho and Idia are sort of a package deal, but I do like Ortho less than I like Idia. Azul pisses me off but I am a sucker for a pathetic man.
EPEL!!! THE ONE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!! Epel is like Deuce, if Deuce had more of a twisted view of himself. Reading though his little dilemma in book 5 didn't make me sympathize, but it did endear him to me. I can understand getting upset because you are literally unable to express yourself in a way that you would like because of reasons outside of your control. Beyond that, I love it when characters have a secret rough side (sorry Deuce.) Two-faced characters are my favorite thing.
A tier is characters I would like to put in S but I am too scared of them to do so. While C and lower are characters I would avoid because they're annoying, A tier is literally just characters I would avoid because they're freaky. I think people forget that the first interaction we have with Leona is him threatening to beat the shit out of us because we accidentally tripped on his tail. While Trey is sweet, he's the absolute definition of a two-faced character and he's way too observant to be comfortable around. Idk, maybe that makes him boyfriend material. I feel like anyone who has been on this blog at this point already understands my viewpoint of Jade, Floyd, and Rook. They scare the mess out of me and I love them for that.
With S tier, I'm actually going to specify a couple things: Sam is up there because I know I'd constantly be in his shop, buying things with thaumarks I should save just because I know his shop would smell like home. I feel like where a lot of people see Sam and think "this man can FUCK," I see Sam and think "big brother material." The sibling that I am closest to is literally just barely a year younger than Sam. Also, to clarify, I'm Black with family from the south. Grim is also sibling material. He's like a little brother, and I love him for that even though he pisses me off.
Now back to the WHORE KNEE. I very desperately want to bring my personal Vil series to this blog. I think maybe someone else would enjoy it, because what's more lovely than a man who sees what he wants in a person that isn't what he wants but forces to be what he wants anyway? I love that shit. Lilia is prime fodder for coercion fics, and I'd love to see more of those because he's very wise (because he's old as hell) and he's had a lot of practice at being a sweet talker. I think with a gullible reader?? Oh my god??? I'm not shy about my opinion on Malleus, Jamil, and Idia, and I think I talk about Idia a bit too much. Jamil stole my heart from the minute he was all sweet and kind in book 4 because he is so obviously two-faced that only the overly trusting would fall for that. Also, Jafar was something of an awakening for me. Who cares about Aladdin? I want the old man. As for Malleus, I like that he fills out the gap moe trope, but not overly so. He absolutely strikes me as the type to assume he knows best for both parties involved, and if he doesn't assume, he decides for you.
Anyway, knowing me, this list will have switched all over the place in a month's time. Thanks for reading my garbled nonsense.

Okay so my week is only getting less conducive to reading & posting so here’s some reaction spam of random round ups throughout ToD & KoA as fast as my thumbs can type them & whatever my brain recalls cause I’ve gotta squeal this out before I implode & then go try to sleep so I don’t fully make tomorrow miserably impossible & long😂
The line in ToD about Nesryn’s nieces & nephews being the light of her life gets me every time🥹😭 I love how we got to see & meet her family, I love how that led to her further connection with Sartaq, I love how his family was close enough to stop with the whole ritualistic murder thing
Chaol’s arc was so well done I have so many thoughts but mostly my old CoM self is just glad to be back here AND YRENE TOWERS MY WYRD I LOVE HER I LOVE HER I LOVE HER literally just I LOVE HER and I want a Baast cat
Inaccessibility being one of the biggest issues is such a relatable real world problem like how have people with magic not figured this out yet I wonder the same thing everytime I go somewhere that doesn’t have ramps handicap parking sign translators etc
Chaol recognizing Celaena’s handwriting and then telling Yrene the story will forever be such a 🥹 moment
The way he healed was beautiful too, the chapter facing Aelin, the discussions with Yrene
And again just AGAIN everything about Yrene
And Nesryn who is so underrated and I just want the world for our Empress queeeeen
The tiny Easter eggs leading to everything essentially rounding up the series to Aelin doing small acts of kindness that come full circle and save everyone is so beautiful
I hate Maeve, I am now claustrophobic, and having my old Peeta days come back to me from HG
Those were some of the most painful chapters I’d ever read
Aelin def knows somethings up with Maeve and the Valg
Dorian planning to take the price is horrifying and yet also comforting and yet horrifying and the two of them plotting it out is making me nervous
KALTAINS GHOST
Dorian and Manon are absolute gold
Them and the thirteen — I mean this content is just fantastic — we’re getting some great Vesta moments
The new power is also interesting & cool
I know Aedion’s hurting but wow could you be anymore of an asshole towards Lys? Look what she did was horrible (mostly cause the whole let’s make the world think you married your cousin thing is wrong on so many levels) that aside she was just doing what HER queen said she loves Aelin she didn’t want this either and he needs to deal with his own shit and stop putting it on Lysandra I mean LYSANDRA OF ALL PEOPLE CAN THE WOMAN GET A BREAK
Darrow I hate you still
Nox I’m still not over you being back thanks buddy I missed ya
Lorcan finding Aelin first and sobbing in relief has so much depth to it I’m gonna have to discuss later
Even their bickering it’s a bit of a relief to have the spark and almost normal… not forgiven just better I guess
And then him saying he already thought Elide was powerful and he crawled for Aelin not Maeve
And all the I CARE ABOUT YOU scenes with SO MANY OF THEM we got Manorian we got Elorcan we still got Rowaelin now we got platonic stuff with Fenrys the list GOES ON
Curious what Rens figuring out cause someone’s gotta be figuring out the whole isn’t Aelin thing and I have a feeling his Lysandra obsession is more than that
Glad to see sweet Evangeline again… I’ll feel better when we get so safe Fleetfoot comes home
Anxious over my war side babies cause there REALLL deep in the bad stuff
The one thing I CAN thank SJM for is not making Fenrys hurt Aelin I spend half the time terrified that was gonna be the next play though the freaky dreams were a whole new level of fucked up not to mention the fact they stole her scars because that’s how mutilated she was and now she’s foreign to herself and my heart hurts
Also the do not yield scene😭
And Fireheart being my new fav all time term of endearment
And their (Fenrys & Aelin) blinking code … honestly I need to put it on a bookmark for frequent translation
And again Fenrys who btw BABE WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME I ABOUT LOST IT WHEN I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD BUT HE BROKE THE OATH FOR HER AND THEN THEIR HUG AND ALL OF IT AND ALSO
I started wondering the same thing about could you double oath it and cancel it out so I finally got my oath answer and lost it again because the iron “take it off” scene… idk which even came first just ow and then LIVE.
The moment Aelin realizes it’s really Rowan
And then he says can I hold you
And then that he’d love her even if she never got back to who she was
And then she’s still storing power away and a half living inferno and probably gonna go save the day
and she’s trying but she doesn’t know what’s real but Fenrys reminded her and she’s trying so hard
And she got the rings
And the I’m so tired Rowan line that broke me again
And the beautiful things glowworm starry night
Then there’s again Elide and Lorcan
The impending Morath
Dorian and Manon shenanigans
All these sub plots I’m sure are gonna be a big deal
Chaol hasn’t even caught up yet
And Yrene is PREGNANT?!
And I still can’t wait for them all to meet
And then AGAIN with the little folk
And the crown of Mab though now it’s kinda got bad vibes tbh
And all the queenlyness Aelin STILL is
And the scene where Rowan sees what would’ve been his children and her seeing how he would’ve been her mate either way
And then her hair being too long and the tattoos gone and this terribly long list
And him coming for her And her thinking he wouldn’t and his words on that
Aelin telling Rowan she didn’t break
Rowan calling Fenrys brother
Elides wisdom always saving the day
Lysandra becoming Wivern and so many things to save them all
Finally meeting the bane
Chaol going back to Anielle
Connall who we barely got to know and idk what was even real
And now no one knows where Maeve or mystery last cadre is
Ugh I need more time but alas this is the round up to shortly delve into more cause I do have annotations lol
Okay this has been fangirl screaming in Wyvern
Ps ABRAXOS HAS A MATE SITTING IN A TREE LOL

okay so i’m on chapter five of “Chicago’s kindest” and i couldn’t even wait until i finished the chapter to send this because MY GUY????? Syd and Tony hs besties??? Chip asking Carm if he wants to take her on a date?? CARM WANTING HER TO WORK FOR HIM AND MAKE HIM LAVENDER LATTES??????????? I’m so- ListeN feminist!carm does inexplainable things to me - like screaming into a pillow because i love him so much - things. i have a lot of thoughts so this is part one of ?? however-many asks (1/ )
HEHEHEHE Syd and Tony are vv much me writing me and my dearest girl friend's dynamic if we were them. It's vv fun to write it that way.
Chip really fuckin' created a canon event in that moment, if she didn't ask him that I doubt he would've ended up doing it. But it was like. A double dog dare. Practically.
HIM BEING REFERRED TO AS FEMINIST FOR THIS MOVE MADE ME LAUGH. Because yes-- Like 100% what you said here:
Tumblr media
Like definitely it's for her BENEFIT to not work at Eden's but it's also, to me writing it, it was also like 'i want you to work not there so simply no one will look at you the way everyone looks at you'. An antsy jealousy he does not have the right to express, truly. But ALSO feminism. Two things can be true. Well, three-- He also wants all her time. For menuuusssss.....
Being 'annoying' (you're not, btw) over my series, truly makes my soul do flips. We've gotta go to the next ask before I scream about it. OH if there was a part 3, by the way, and you did NOT miscount, tumblr did fucking eat it. i'm so sorry. if this is the case I'M gonna eat tumblr.
Tumblr media
I'm so genuinely happy to see the very soft lines people cling to. I try to write in like, a very natural human flowing way and not FORCE lines-- And while I do love that, I do sometimes worry that simple lines like these fall through the cracks, in a way, because they're very like, human things that people say. Or at least that me and my people say. AND SO TO SEE Y'ALL READING AND NOTING THESE LINES REALLY ENCOURAGES ME SO THANK YOU!!!
He really wanted to say 'I like when you talk to much', I could never tell how to make that explicitly clear, so i just didn't. He wanted to say it SO bad. There were like, several moments in this chapter of him going 'now is the part where i ask her out' and just him continuously bowing out until the end. Honestly play a fuckin' where's waldo with yourself if you ever re-read and find em. HA.
Tumblr media
I DID ASK FOR THESIS AND I'M SO GLAD TO BE GETTING IT YOU HAVE NO IDEEAAAAAAA!!!!!
And YEEEAGGHGHGHG That's the fuckin STUFF right there. The CARE!!!! bro!!!!!!
Tumblr media
Chicago's Kindest new header.
I love writin' romance with these two because it is always so explicitly not like violent or hungered but like-- Such a profound care before it's anything else. And that's just really fun and soft to write. Except for when he did get his kiss. then it was hungry. then it was starving, actually. TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE!!!!!
Tumblr media
NICE YOU!!!! NICE YOU!!! I'M CALLING A DOCTOR!!!!!!
Tony's got an iron-clad will, I would've folded, honestly. I would've fuckin' folded.
AND ALSO SON OF A BITCH, I should've been more explicit, maybe I'll ninja edit it in the future, but the second thing Carm 'gave' her WAS in fact the fucking hickey. He was just bein' a cheeky motherfucker. I was just trying to avoid writing he fuckin SUCKS your NECK DUDE and it's CRAZY!!!! Because I'm not prepared with that writing skill set yet. I don't know how to write intimacy yet. without being haha funny about it. So. We'll get there,,,, maybe.
ANYWAYS THANK YOU FOR THIS FUCKIN' ESSAY IT MEANS MORE THAN WORDS LOVE YOU TOOOO!!!!!

I’ve read some mixed opinions on the new Futurama episode (something that feels weird to say after all this time), and I definitely have slightly mixed thoughts on it, but overall it's positive.
I'd love to discuss the episode with people so feel free to comment or DM me!
It feels a lot like the Comedy Central seasons, which aren’t my favourites by any means but I like them well-enough. The episode felt like I was watching an episode of Futurama, which is a low bar, but still. I'm not a modern-Simpsons hater by any means, but the show feels so different to what it used to be even in the early 2000s, and I think it's an achievement that this Futurama revival manages to feel like at least like it did in the Comedy Central years. But, I do feel like the comedy was a lot stronger in this one than in the CC years.
I found it funny that Fry’s goal was to watch every TV show ever made, because it’s very Fry, and I think it was a decent set up to the plot of the episode.
The plot itself felt a bit weak compared to some of the Comedy Central episodes, which I think found strength in their plots and sci-fi concepts despite their flaws. I feel like the episode was trying to establish the world as being more relevant to 2023, which is surprisingly different to when Futurama was on the air, so I think it makes sense to adapt the show to current year. That said, I personally find it a little irritating when media that is made a year before it is aired tries to make episodes that focus entirely on a vaguely contemporary topic, because more often than not they have nothing new to say, and it often feels irrelevant and out of touch despite the intention of relevancy. That's more personal to me, though, and it doesn't bother me too much, and I can mostly look past it.
I think that the concept of Fry bingeing All My Circuits in that suit thing (I’m too lazy to look up what it was called lol) was a little weak, when Futurama has so many much more interesting sci-fi concepts, such as in the episode’s predecessor Meanwhile. For me, it just felt a little uninteresting as a central part of the episode, but I am glad that we got some other stuff in the episode that was far more entertaining (I'll get to that).
They didn’t explore binge culture in a particularly interesting or thoughtful way, in my opinion anyway. They just sort of vaguely said 'shows on streaming services are bad' and ‘bingeing makes you lose touch with reality’, the latter of which they kind of undermined at the end of the episode. I'll get onto the ending in a second.
I feel like there's so much more you can say about bingeing/streaming culture, such as how it makes the viewing experience feel less communal and the hype dies down after a week because the episodes are released in one go compared to on a weekly basis. With Netflix shows, the hype is gone within a couple of weeks of the show's release. But, with shows like the Last of Us, which was released on a weekly basis, there's a longevity to the hype. There was something really exciting about waiting for the next episode of TLOU and being able to focus on the show one episode at a time. I'm not saying that's what the plot should have been about, but I personally think that it's a far more interesting and more 'relevant' critique than anything Futurama had to say about shows on streaming services. Like, everyone knows a lot of streaming service originals are dogshit. I love Futurama, but it was very late to the party on this one.
Okay, onto the ending. I feel like the ending was anticlimactic in a way that wasn’t all that comical, and it undermined the Bender/Leela All My Circuits storyline of the episode. The fact that Fry could just get out of the suit and be fine makes the rest of the plot redundant. I guess Fry spending months of his life bingeing a shitty TV show after expressing his dismay at having wasted years of his life doing nothing sort of fits the 'it makes you lose touch with reality' critique (and is very in-character for Fry), but at the same time it wasn't really explored in a meaningful way. We don't get to view Fry's gradual decline, as a better Futurama episode may have shown. The episode just says that shows on streaming services are lazily and hurriedly cobbled together and shit.
I liked Bender and Leela having to make more All My Circuits, mostly because I love the Bender/Leela dynamic, and All My Circuits is often a highlight of the show anyway. I think this aspect of the episode felt a bit like I'd seen it before because it was another 'Bender works on All My Circuits and makes it not very good' episode, and one that wasn't quite as good as Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV, but I enjoyed it nonetheless, and this was definitely the strongest part of the episode for me.
I think it’s neat that they resurrected Calculon (loved seeing the Robot Devil again, too). I thought some of the All My Circuits stuff was funny, such as the bi Calculon moment, and Bender saying to leave in the director's heart attack because it was funny. Maybe the most (unintentionally) relevant part of the episode was seeing a team of overworked writers whose job is overtaken by Bender, a robot.
I think they did a decent job at continuing on from Meanwhile, considering that they managed to make it feel a follow-up to Meanwhile whilst also making a basically unrelated episode. I definitely wish they had made more of a reference to Meanwhile past, like, the five minute mark. That said, the trailer showed some Fry and Leela stuff, so I'm guessing that they'll likely explore Fry and Leela's relationship, which changed during Meanwhile. I'm also hoping to see more focus on characters like Amy and Zoidberg in the upcoming episodes, but I get why they functioned more as side-characters in this episode. I'm happy with the episode's sense of continuity with the rest of the series, though. I'm glad they didn't forget things like the fact Calculon was in Robot Hell, so I'm excited to see how else this season connects to previous plotpoints in the series.
I really appreciate that they're not indecisive about Fry and Leela's relationship anymore. I'm so happy that they've unambiguously settled on the fact that Fry and Leela are a couple that love and care about one another, instead of that weird thing they did in the Comedy Central years where their relationship was ambiguous in a way that wasn't deliberate and interesting but purposely unclear so the writers could just define their relationship based on the plot of the episode and what would be more convenient for it. The Fry fake-out deaths never have any emotional impact on me, but it was genuinely sweet to see that Leela was devastated by Fry's 'death'. A lot of the time, I feel like these Fry fake-out deaths were undermined in the CC run because it was often preceded by Leela not liking Fry whatsoever. In general it's much more pleasant to watch them, because I had an issue in the CC run where it seemed like Leela wasn't interested in Fry and Fry was one of those 'won't take no' guys. It was sweet to see Leela being supportive of Fry, and their relationship as a clearly defined/established romantic relationship feels incredibly fresh, even though it was central to the original series. I'm hoping this will be a strength of the revival moving forward, because we have a chance to see Fry and Leela together in a way that we haven't really before.
All in all, I don't think this is the worst or best Futurama episode to have ever been made. Typically, I subscribe to the opinion 'don't beat a dead horse' when it comes to reviving TV shows that had a perfectly satisfactory conclusion. So, while I'd be perfectly happy if Futurama had just stayed dead, I must admit that I was actually really happy to watch a new episode of Futurama after so many years. I understand why people disliked this episode. And, I can also understand why people loved this episode. Despite my issues with the episode, I really did enjoy it. Maybe I'm doing just what these executives want by watching the revival and enjoying it just because I get to see my special little guys again in brand new adventures, which will hopefully improve after this episode. It wasn't the best thing I've ever seen, but it brought a smile to my face.
The non-binary robot joke was genuinely incredible 10/10 episode just for that.
