People really need to read up more on surrogacy, I'm pretty sure those in favor of it just think "Well if the woman wants to do it why not" but there is so much more to it :/ It's extremely exploitative in most cases, not to mention that wombs and babies shouldn't be seen as products to be bought.

exactly thank you...so many different angles to choose from too like commodification of the human body commodification of women's bodied specifically exploitation of poorer women...like TO ME it's liberalism on an insane level

[centrally-unplanned]

The Gaza floating pier plan is an odd one, I was doing a bit of research & thinking on its logic. Like obviously you can get more aid in Gaza right now, its just Israel (and also Egypt, who buck-passes on this constantly) refuses to in turn increase aid or admit that aid is being truly slowed. Though also its a function of the fact the demand for aid is much higher than before, both through destroyed stocks, loss of domestic agricultural output (which Gaza had a little of pre-war), and supply needs for the occupation forces. And its not like the US right now really wants to get more involved in this issue, its net losses for the US as far as the eye can see. So it puts a bit of a permanent stake in a situation one would rather not, to solve a problem whose cause is tangential to this solution.

But on digging I do see the logic in it - essentially its a sign of the US - or lets the say the Biden admin, good to be specific - losing faith in not only Israel's conduct in the war, but also its goals for the war at all. It symbolizes that not only does the Biden admin expect them to not overly budge on the blockade issue, but they still will not be overly budging on it several months from now. But that this isn't a part of some Grand Strategy on their part, a strategic play to idk pressure Hamas to come to the table or even like weaponize suffering to cause legitimacy collapse. They just can't get around to a coherent end-state vision here, and things like aid restrictions are just strategy theatre run amok, "can't let in the ~weapons oh no" thoughts running on autopilot while Israel fights with itself over its goals. You can tell this because they are letting the port happen! They could just say no, if Lebanon tried to do this they would bomb it.

But of course while the Biden admin is less than thrilled about increased involvement, it (primarily) knows how badly this issue is damaging rep in the middle east given its stuck with its wedded ally, (secondarily) generally is opposed to famine and human rights crimes in any context and needs a strong reason to ignore them (which, to be clear, does happen sometimes, but this the baseline), and (tertiarily) doesn't love the domestic tension the issue is generating. And it no longer trusts Israel to fix its own mistakes in this regard. So it wants to "take it out of their hands" - now the US can set the tempo of aid deliveries, and Israel can't really stop it. (Like sure if they truly throw down they can block aid, they are going to cooperating on security for the pier, but it would be big leap in spiting the US for them to do that) It bypasses their dysfunction, which they expect to be ongoing. ~2 months from now the US can make sure if/when things have continued to go badly it can start mitigating harm and also control the narrative better.

This is cold comfort for any of the ongoing problems today, which are legion. But the other message of the pier is that those aren't changing. Israel isn't budging, and hey we haven't mentioned em yet but Hamas isn't budging either, they scuttled the latest round of cease fire talks and know that their demand of a permanent cease-fire at this point is a non-starter so I think that shows status quo reigning. Hey, maybe we will see what comes out of Doha in the next few days, but I bet it won't be too surprising (a short term hostage exchange is possible but that won't relieve the big issues). I am low certainty on this but if I am Hamas I think so far this is "going according to plan", certainly they wish they were inflicting more causalities on the IDF but they have a track record of realism on this one, they knew this would happen and politically things have been going well for them. And Israeli's political dysfunction seems stable as long as no elections are called, which is the smart money right now (Unless the Orthodox Jewish Freerider Problem blows the coalition up). So for the Biden Admin, the overton window for immediate action is very small, which means that they think plans that have longer time horizons make sense.

Idk it could just be them flailing and trying to look like they are Doing Something, but generally their track record on this front is pretty solid, Biden FP has been grounded (not the same as universally effective, though I think its been good overall). And Doing Something only works if it isn't a boondoggle, 2 months from now isn't after the election after all. Incompetence is possible, sure, but given their track record not my baseline, and I think the logic here does check out. Time will tell...

Fizz and Blitzo’s Beef doesn’t make any since 

To me

(idk why it says my replies are restricted if you cant reply go ahead and just tag your comments or something I am not sure how to turn it off my reply settings say anyone can reply supes sorry)

In my opinion  

What do you think?

(This isn't really flaw of the ep it's more just... I guess a me thing? I think?)

Is it just me or does Fizz and Blitzo’s Beef build up not have the effect it thinks its does? What I mean is before Oops biltzo and Fizz obviously had some beef with each other because of what Blizto says to robot Fizz, what Fizz says to Blizto in Ozzie's and also when they see each other in Oops for the first half.  

For Fizz it makes some since, but Blizto doesn’t make any what’s so ever because they haven't seen each other since the accident because Biltzo couldn’t visit him, right? Right. So how can this hate be mutual? They were on good terms before the accident as Blizto was going to tell Fizz he liked him but chickened out and it looked like he was mad at Fizz, but he wasn’t.  

Why on earth did Blizto not like him(Fizz)? He calls Fizz an over rated sell out jester. You would think someone who was so overwhelmed by guilt of getting his best friend and crush obliterated on accident that he cried when apologizing. wouldn’t have said something so mean about him. Also why is blizto jealous of Fizz if he left bad about the accident wouldn’t seeing Fizz alive and becoming successful make him feel better like “oh awesome I didn’t ruin his life or anything” You can say its jealousy on Blitzos part, but you literally almost killed him so you can only be mad so much (in my opinion) and he is clearly happy for fizz and his accomplishments  

And if blizto was pretending to hate Fizz because he assumed Fizz hated him and wanted to just go along with it instead of facing the problem. Well, that goes against everything else we’ve seen blizto do! You're telling me he can sneak into Stolas’ castle, the rehab hospital, find Barbie (even when she doesn’t want to found), and will disregard the boundaries of Moxxie to get what he wants but he couldn’t find or sneak into Fizz’s hospital or somewhere he worked to apologize? Sure right, this is Stolas not finding Octavia even though she had the book with her and stolas could've located the book to find her all over again  

also why is blizto so surprised when Fizz tells him he didn’t ruin his life with how well-known and marketed Fizz is obviously you didn’t ruin his life.  

Fizz says Blizto’s love life is bad. How does he know that? If the last time they’ve seen each other was on Fizz’s birthday then how in the world does he know that? all of Bliztos known romantic relationships to us the audience is Verosika and Stolas. Unless verosika told Fizzarolli about their relationship how does he know that? “Some nerve you have to comment on a relationship. Last time I checked your love life is pile of shit” last time you checked? Babes, you haven't seen him in 15 years! How did you check? last time you “checked” anything you needed up an amputee  

Other eps make it seem like Blizto and Fizz had some big falling out, but they didn’t. So how does all this 

“I make more money than you do being a cheap ass robo rip off of an overrated sell out jester” 

“Hey, everyone, this guys a total disgrace” 

“Some nerve you have to comment on a relationship. Last time I checked your love life is pile of shit” 

“I have my own life without you in it” 

“Twice is already way too much” 

“Well at least I'm still actually working for my shit and not getting everything handed to me like some pampered attention whore!”  

“My horns were always bigger than yours” 

Come form not seeing someone for 15 years? 

For Fizz? sure it makes since homeboy blew you up but for blizto to have such a guilty reaction and burst into tear proclaiming about how sorry he was doesn’t make any since. They were so salty towards each other than they haven’t seen each other in 15 years and not having a big fight before they were separated doesn’t make any sense to me. It would be one thing if Blizto was pretending to forget the accident, or keep denying that he started the fire, but he just admits it, and this is obviously something that eats up at him and that he regrets.  

Why does blizto have so much animosity towards Fizz?  Given what all other episodes and the beginning of Oops makes it seem like Fizz and Blizto had some big falling out and maybe had some type of romantic thing going on and know more knowledge about each other than Oops shows us, but there’s nothing!  

thoughts?  

Am I watching the show wrong lol?

[ms-cartoon]

New HB Episode! (Jesus...)

Alright... So I seen the new episode - can't say this show gradually gets any better. I can fairly say there was only one decent thing about this episode, and that was the backstory with Moxxie and why he has daddy issues. Seriously though, why does almost EVERYBODY in this goddamn show have daddy issues??? And why are all these dads a**holes?? And yes, I'm going to include Millie's father. Of course, he's no abusive dad, but he (nor his wife) wasn't kind to Moxxie at all, and all because he was considered a weakling who uses guns as a choice for weapons. Which sounds like a pretty stupid reason. There are people who are scared to even pick up a gun, let alone pull a trigger.

I couldn't tell if I was skimming through this episode, or if the episode was just skimming itself and I just couldn't keep up. I think it's mostly the latter, cuz MY GOD, this was so rushed! I had to watch this twice to process whatever was going on. Everything just feels so crammed into this episode There's also Moxxie's ex-boyfriend, but I'll get to that in a minute.

⦁ So the first start of the episode, we start with Moxxie and Loona in the room. I just love how Loona is just there, lol!! She's just sitting at the table on her phone and has no speaking lines whatsoever. She might as well have not even appeared in this episode, for real. What's bad about this is that she was only there for another "Moxxie is fat!" joke. I really don't get what's so funny about this gag. Why is it even a gag? Moxxie is not fat! He don't even look it. I highly doubt he's even heavy. Loona and Blitzo are just being d*cks to him. It doesn't even help that he mentions he lost a few pounds just so they stop making fun of him. Now it's just sad!!! They body-shamed Moxxie so much, he felt he had to lose a few pounds so they would leave him alone about it. They did not make this funny, they just made it worse. PLZ STOP with the unfunny fat jokes!!

⦁ This seems to be the most try-hard horniest episode compared to the ones that have Stolas in it. Seriously, what in the gracious hell is with these dildos popping up from chairs and walls!!!??? 

Then there's Blitzo who has photos of porn in the drawers in his office (why would he even put those where people can open it up and take stuff out anyway??)!!! And then you got this perverted fish (who's the most annoying out of everybody in this episode) tryna bang everybody in IMP! He's literally just another Stolas, Blitzo, and Angel Dust character put in one: an LGBT horny mess who just wants to get his mack on anyone around him or just certain people, sexually harassing them in the process. Plus, anything that comes out of his mouth is a literal sex joke and it's just uncomforting.

⦁ So Moxxie's family is in the mafia and they're rich...... But why??? I thought Imps were of lower class and practically poor compared to the other species of demons.

  ⦁ You mean to tell me Millie and Moxxie dated the same guy at one point in their lifetime before getting together? Okay, but it seems to be too much of a coincidence. Idk, it just comes off as odd.

⦁ So Moxxie and Chaz had a thing going on before he met up with Millie. But when they were together, their relationship seemed to be more centered around lust than there was genuine love. Obviously considering when Chaz was quick to take the money and abandoned Moxxie when he needed help during the heist. Now this, amongst other parts of this series, just keeps up the stereotypical nonsense that all gay dudes are horny for each other and want nothing but to get it on. I don't understand what Moxxie even sees in his perverted a**. What makes no sense about this is that Moxxie isn't the type of guy that just get's horny like that. He's not perverted and doesn't get turned on over the slightest of things, yet he's shown stroking a gun while cleaning it while at the same time feeling pleasure. Chaz is more vulgar than Blitzo, and Moxxie barely tolerates him! So, wtf??

⦁ So in hell, you can pretty much get away with anything illegal with no consequences. Whether it'd be robbing a bank, murdering someone, sexual harassment, etc. So why in THE HELL is there a prison???!!

⦁ Blitzo and Moxxie's meeting makes no sense to me. So #1, I was under the assumption Moxxie met Blitzo after he met and married Millie, but now they're telling us they met in jail right after Chaz abandoned Moxxie. #2, Why is Blitzo quick to let Moxxie join IMP after only saying a few words to him? He didn't even ask him for his name or let him speak or anything - he was just like, "Hey let's bust outta here and you can join my company!" #3 Why is Moxxie even smiling? What has Blitzo said to make him feel better so quickly after basically being dumped?? Does he feel like he's being accepted or something? Like bro, you just met this dude and you didn't even say a word to him.

⦁ Millie's more pissed at Chaz for abandoning Moxxie at one point. Why is Millie getting so angry and quick to kill Chaz over something that happened she wasn't even present for!? She never even met Moxxie around that time. Plus, it's not like that situation is bothering Moxxie now. There was no need for her to get so triggered here. Not saying she's not right to get upset about it, but the sudden rage was a little extra.

  ⦁ If Blitzo and Moxxie were considered friends when they met, then why is Blitzo such an ass to him all the time?? Are we supposed to give Blitzo props for acknowledging or being nice to Moxxie?

⦁ Crimson seems to make a better villain than any other antagonist introduced in this series. Mainly because he has motivation. From what I can gather from this, from Crim's perspective, Moxxie was turning soft because of his wife. It seems that he was extremely pissed off that the mother disagreed with how he raised Moxxie, going as far as to kill her. Granted it was too far and for a petty reason, but it's better than just doing things and having no motivation for them, unlike Stella.

⦁ A priest.... in hell...?

⦁ They only have Moxxie stand up for himself ONCE in this episode, and it's not even enough. His whole life from when he was a kid, he was pushed around by his father and put up with his abuse. The second he meets him after a long time, he's still afraid of him. The only time he puts his foot down is when he says he's not gonna go along with whatever his father plans for him and refuses his commands.... and that was it. It seemed like he was threatening his dad initially, saying how good he was at his job, and not even a second later he gets tased and knocked out, becoming a damsel in distress. That was the most brave we get out of him. If anything, his freakin WIFE was doing the most out of him once more, becoming the man of the relationship as always!! Wouldn't it have been better if Moxxie tried to get out of the knot and fought his dad or Chaz? Maybe he could have helped out Millie and they could make it to where Millie was having difficulties fighting all those gang members.

⦁ Speaking of that; Millie is only useful in battle only when the plot deems it necessary. It kinda seems like she's falling in and out of being a talented fighter. She gets taken down at one point and then the next she'll beat everybody's ass with no sweat! Sure - defeat an entire mob whether it be a mafia or a bunch of agents and take down a whole damn sea monster, but get knocked out by a freakin glass bottle and your leg ruptured by a bear trap...Yeah, I can totally buy that. I feel like they were being a little extra with Millie taking down all those gang members anyway. As I said, she could've had some difficulty fighting all those dudes and Moxxie could've helped her.

⦁ I swear- the women in this show get no respect not just in the show itself, but from the writers. Millie is once again only existing to be just a woman who's married to Moxxie and only gets angry and violent just for Moxxie. There's at least one episode that should've been about her, but it was mostly about her husband and she was just there as his moral support. Literally, the only thing we get outta her in this episode is her extremely hot temper, and all because of Chaz, who she dated at one point. Why is she so upset with Chaz? Why did she hate him so much before she knew about his relationship with Moxxie? What did he do to make her dump him? Or did he dump her? How did she even end up with a guy like him?? We don't know!! We only get to know about Moxxie's past relationship with him and how it faltered, and that is such a letdown! This could've been our chance to explore Millie as a character, even if it's a little flashback of her love life.

  ⦁ I'm not gonna disclude Moxxie's mother in this. Honestly, I don't think it was necessary for her to get killed off just so we could feel more sympathy for Moxxie. We can already see how his father treats him. Can't forget Loona or Blitzo. Not even Millie's parents liked him.

⦁ I'm I the only one who feels like Millie and Moxxie as a couple is boring? Yeah they love each other and would probably die for each other and that's nice n all, but wouldn't it be interesting to have Millie and Moxxie have a slight argument at least once? We all know these two love each other to death. They're sweeter and more loving towards each other than anybody else around them, and that's why it would be interesting to see a quarrel. Sometimes, you can't be a married couple without having an argument or two at one point. Millie clearly felt upset that she was kept in the dark about Moxxie's family. She kept on questioning Moxxie; "Why haven't I met dad before? Are you okay? You know you can tell me anything, right?" And Moxxie would just continuously dodge the questions and not tell her anything. This actually could've been another opportunity for Millie's character. Not that she has to lash out at him, but maybe she could've told him how she felt about him not saying anything about Crimson, his ex, his mother, or how he feeling in general while also having an upset attitude y'know. Maybe Moxxie could've argued back and said he just didn't wanna worry her or something.

  ⦁ I don't think Moxxie and Chaz necessarily have to marry just so Chaz could be a part of the family. If this is just about financial issues then why can't Crim and Chaz come to an agreement or something? How did Crim not know that Chaz was actually not rich?

⦁ I just know people are triggered over the fact that Blitzo slept Chaz and are like "BLITZO NO!! YOU BELONG TO STOLAS!!" or some whiny sh*t like that, even though Stolas and Blitzo aren't even an official couple. When did Blitzo suddenly become an imp version of Stolas? Why was he so quick to get horny and sleep with Chaz and he JUST MET HIM! This might as well be the same situation he had with Stolas, except he's Stolas and Chaz is Blitzo. Not to mention Blitzo ended up sneaking around and snooping through his stuff.

⦁ Why is Blitzo the one to get suspicious of Chaz anyway? He is mostly just there for comic relief and mostly seems more goofy and lovable compared to his behavior in the latest episode. It's kinda a good thing I guess, but I'm not gonna hope for the better of him. I wouldn't say he changed completely since there was a moment he lashed out at Moxxie for a split second. I don't even think he has any motive for trying to get him caught in a lie cuz he doesn't even know him, other than the fact that he wants to be the only one who ruptures Moxxie and Millie's relationship (I'm sorry... are we supposed to be rooting for him still?) If anything, I think it makes more sense if Millie was the one to figure out was Chaz was up to considering her history with him (if there was any. We don't know.... it was never shown!)

⦁ I can't believe Crimson easily let Millie walk away with Moxxie scott free without putting up a fight! Bro killed dozens of people!! He wasn't even afraid to kill his own wife. He even threatened to harm Moxxie and Millie! Why is he backing down so easily!?

Uh, yeah... this certainly wasn't the greatest episode. I think the only thing good about it was Moxxie's childhood. That was certainly interesting (and dark). Apart from that, I was expecting something outta nothing. We could've seen some potential from Millie, but we didn't. This show just can't exist without sex jokes. It's alright if they wanna be funny like that, but at this point, it's just uncomforting. Wondering how they're gonna screw up the next episode.

Predicting the end of 2.55

Just finished up the fight for Ishgard, but I haven't started crystal tower yet so I'll give my thoughts just to see what comes of them. Also just some of my thoughts on stories/characters

Spoilers for 2.0 onwards below!

1. Betrayal of the Braves

I think the leader of the Braves is going to backstab Alphinaud. Obviously he's still alive given the trailers, but I think maybe the leader turns the Braves into an evil organization? I don't see any promo materials after this that include them. Idk he for sure killed that other kid. I just don't see the benefit other than money. Maybe he's a monetarist?

2. Alphinaud is SUPER immature

Alphinaud is pissing me off. Still love him, but he is just so naive. "You guys are the absolute worst for not helping Ishgard!! 😡😡"

The Admiral (being logical) "We have to farm out jobs to WOL because we don't have enough people for our own problems? Also we literally JUST had a war that killed hundreds (if not thousands) of soldiers? That Ishgard didn't help with? WOL also just uncovered a double agent within the Flames even though Ul'dah is already on the edge of collapse? Where are we getting soldiers from??" And Alphinaud, who really shouldn't even be at this meeting, gets mad at her! Buddy this is a stupid hill to die on!!

They always say the Alphinaud is the negotiator but I'd argue like half of the other scions would be better candidates. It always is so weird to me that everyone calls him "Commander Leveilleur." He looks and acts like he's 19 (coming from a 19 year old)! Surely Papalymo, Y'shtola, Thancred, or hell even Urianger would be better? Somebody more mature with fewer anger issues.

3. Losing the Light

Also, maybe its just the RPer in me, but I really wish there was more emphasis on WoL losing the light. Hopefully that'll come after the crystal tower quests? Imagine you're the chosen one. The fabric of the universe decides to make you her sword. And some dead fuckin dragon just takes it away for no reason? The main reason anybody gives a shit about WoL is because they are so powerful and special. So the fact that we can't tell anyone that a part of us got ripped away? Minfilia goes "aw that sucks." And we just don't do anything else? Moonbryda probably would've lived if we still had the light. And we aren't IMMEDIATELY swords/wands blazing killing the thing that did that to us?

Every time my WOL shrugs when asked how she's doing I want to tell at the screen. Like "Babes, you're TRAUMATIZED. Everybody uses you for their personal benefit. You just lost like half your ability to fight the people you are famous for fighting. Say something please!" And she does not.

4. Tarturu future?

My final note: If Tarturu dies I'll riot. Idk I'm terrible with facial expressions so maybe it wasn't meant to be sinister but her send off at the end of her little quest is making me nervous.

5. Final Thoughts

I absolutely adore FFXIV, and I hope this doesn't make anybody think I don't. Most of it is great. I'm super happy to be working with Cid and his crew for the Crystal Tower because they were by far my favorite part of ARR. I've really been enjoying the 8-mans even though I fucked one up earlier by not looking up the mechanics beforehand (what a way to be introduced to tank busters lol). It's just some of the story stuff that can be a little frustrating. I know that shrugging off your trauma is kind of just the way it goes with MMORPGs but knowing that doesn't make me feel any better y'know?

[notahorseindisguise]

laughing crying throwing up over your live blogging of American psycho holy shit 😭 I have to call Patrick Patty from now on that's. Classic. Also yeah that movie is truly unhinged. The prevailing theory is that it's about how rich white men are often isolated but have the privilege of low acting so they can (and do) get away with murder but also the flipside of that is that these men do not get the help they may need if they're suffering from mental or physical illness like Patrick (because he is clearly severely mentally ill and a repressed fag lol). He isn't a good person, that's not the point of the movie but he does need help and he's unable to get it both because he doesn't know how to ask for help and is repressing his feelings, and because of the cultural taboo around him asking for help. He's doing what is expected of him: dating/fucking women, going to nice restaurants with his buddies, showing a surface level understanding of politics. But under that is a deeply fucked up guy who is probably into men but is unable to explore those feelings. Idk. There are better worded analyses out there but I'm just glad you enjoyed it!

this is a good analysis!! yeah i can definitely see a queer reading honestly. i think you could definitely say that the hypersexuality of him constantly having sex with woman and seemingly getting nothing out of it is a form of overcompensation, or like, trying to prove to himself that he is straight.

all his political views that he mentioned, seemed to just be buzz words. like i hate the idea of "virtue signalling" but, my understanding of the phrase makes it seem that thats what he was doing, just trying to make it seem like he had all the right political beliefs, when really it was shallow. that was interesting.

also, due to the nature of it being . id say first person. obviously we dont see directly through pats eyes but we do hear all of his thoughts and only see his actions (which i think is what makes something first person in a film perspective? unless thats just third person with a limited narrator? idk all the film terminology). anyway due to us only seeing pattys side of everything. we get this idea that all the men around him are fulfilled. they appear to be doing all the same daily work activities as him, but unlike him, they seem to be enjoying it, further isolating bateman. you could probably take a marxist reading of this, study batemans actions through like, the theory of alienation maybe?

i unfortunately dont know too much about the marx's theory of alienation, but it did seem as if patrick was very isolated and had no real substance in his life, leading to a degradation of the self and then a loss of empathy? leading him to kill to just, find some semblance of humanity? unless it states earlier in the movie that he's lacked emotions since he was a child. anyway maybe a marxist reading but definitely an anti-capitalist reading this movie is chockers full of anti-capitalist messages. dorsia as an unachievable goal, the godot theyre waiting for or the green light theyre chasing could be like, personal fulfillment in a capitalistic society, like how theyre always pressing for the next level, trying to gain more money for really no reason? idk . idk why i mentioned godot that probably doesnt have many textual links other than the one i mentioned and even that is weak, but theres probably some good links to be made between this and gatsby? not sure, i didnt pay too much attention to it .

anyway. this analysis is like. really weak. its late and my brain is off LOL im sorry its so messy. this is a great exam piece though

[bigtreefest]

Let’s talk about Knives Out

Spoilers below the cut

🔥🤤sweater daddy. I wish that was all I had to say. Well, it is, but it also very much isn’t.

1st Watch

After knowing what happens in the end, I had never liked Ransom (Chris Evans’s Character) until I went through with my second and third rewatch. So on my first watch, it was exciting because all the twists and turns really catch you by surprise. It’s such a wonder who would pull such an elaborate plan and why. Ransom is obviously awful. That’s why the dogs hate him. It’s such a sign of character. But for some reason, he’s helping Marta, and I loved it. He appeared so genuine and like he was really trying to find the best way to help her. Benoit Blanc’s accent is also hilarious and so is the fact that none of them really care to know where Marta’s from.

The dogs love Linda and Linda is honestly not that terrible of a person when it comes to everyone else. She actually loved her father as seen by the way they shared notes, but idk. Everyone’s flawed and she still expected money and inheritance

2nd Watch

I started to pick up on the symbolism and more details of the movie. Chris Evans looks even better in his sweaters. But if you look closely, they’ve got tears and holes. What does this mean? But the sweater is nice before Harlan dies. Does this mean Ransom looks nice on the surface, but if you look deeper, something’s wrong? Does this mean he started to crumble after Harlan’s death? They also bring up the fact that Marta is the only one who beat Harlan at ‘Go’ more than Ransom. Does this mean that if Marta weren’t around, Ransom would’ve gotten the inheritance? Or would he have been cut off like everyone else still? Or, does this mean that Marta was a better strategist. Even though Ransom did a lot of the work, she took the final step in lying in order to get him to confess to murder. Also, Meg on that phone call? Was she really apologetic or was she trying to get that money?? And why didn’t Harlan keep paying her tuition, it was her mom’s fault. But I guess she was technically a mooch like everyone else.

And obviously there’s the fact that everyone lies to Marta about wanting her at the funeral. Don’t lie to save face, you couldn’t have all gotten outvoted.

3rd watch

I’ve fallen in love with Chris Evans as Ransom even more, not just because of the sweaters, but because in this time, I read some really good fanfics that redeemed him. The movie is cast so perfectly and I love the subtleties. Plus, I’ve always had a little bit of a thing for guys who are awful for me if they’re hot (it’s a fatal flaw, I know, I’m working on it, but can you blame me?). Ransom is so smart, and it’s a shame he uses it for evil because he was so close. Anyway, let’s talk about alcoholic beverages. My investigation into this started because I wanted to know the mixed drink Ransom ordered at the bar (which which I still haven’t figured out yet, but I think it was a Manhattan?)

Look at the alcohol in the movie, though. The whole family is always luxuriously drinking scotch or champagne. Ransom, on the other hand, orders craft beer at the bar with Marta, which separates him from his family, but hopefully makes him seem more relatable to her. Even tho craft beer is the rich man’s beer lowkey. Then, he uses a large bottle for set fire to the Medical Examiner’s office. This whole time, we don’t see Marta drink at all, which separates her from the family. Not to mention, Ransom builds a literal wall of beer bottles between the two of them at the restaurant, showing physical separation despite his offer of assistance. The bottles are also apparently in one of the positions of ‘Go’ called Atari. This is an attack position, meaning Ransom thinks he has the high ground. Incorrect. This is all just a posed by the separation we see at the end of the movie where Marta is looking down at them on the balcony while they all look up at her, once again separated but the tables have turned.

Overall, a great movie and a great look for Chris Evans. The costume designers and casting directors knew what they were doing. As much as I hate to say it, I WOULD NOT have been immune to Ransom’s charms.

tell us about abt old people chengqing!! :)

anon I am SO SORRY I saw this ask millennia ago and it was late so I was like ah! I'll reply tomorrow AND THEN I DIDN'T

anyway with old people chengqing I imagine a modern au they meet when they're already old. I think I should probably consider whether they'd have their spouses or grandchildren in this one but alas: I can't be arsed. so I'll just say that they meet in something like... hm. maybe it's a library or a culture center. maybe they live in the same neighbourhood and meet during a meeting about, idk, whether to build or not to build a new playground. who knows.

anyway, the thing is: they're similar. wq has never stopped saying what's on her mind, if anything, age has only made her care less about what people might say, because look. she's old. she's a retired doctor. can you prove she didn't assist your mother birthing you? you can't. are you gonna argue with someone who helped haul your ass into this world? no. sit down and shut up AND we're putting the money into the heating fund, flower beds can wait. (her speciality was cardiology and she didn't have That much experience with midwifery, but do people need to know that? also no.)

meanwhile jc learned to give less of a fuck what people, for example wei wuxians*, think about him, and this is also thanks to his age because you're gonna tell an old fart what to do? (at some point wwx told him that "old fart" does not suit such a fancy schmancy man as him. look at him. he's dressed way too neatly for a "fart". venerable flatus, perhaps. you're appropriating old fartery, a-cheng.) he often comes ready to Argue for his case, but then it turns out that either his suggestions are quite reasonable and everyone agrees, OR that wq has already given the people assembled a single Look and they suddenly found it in themselves to agree with her, oh, wholeheartedly.

*although whether wwx is a person or a nuisance sent to this green bitch of an earth specifically to torment jc, well that's a separate argument

so. they are being Shipped.

obviously -- one might say -- being old and bitchy at the same time and place does not mean you would make a good couple. tell that to the youths, though. you try and tell them. you accidentally bark at the kids to quiet down or watch out for their little sibling roughly at the same time and suddenly everyone's like ooh, isn't that cute! they catch you bitching about people who value looks over practicality and want the balconies to be renovated in a way that'll need further renovation in five years, utter idiocy, ONCE, and suddenly everyone's giggling, throwing you Looks, and asking if you've seen the flyers for dancing nights for the elderly.

of course you've seen them! you helped organise the whole thing. s o m e people need that, for interaction or something, and it needs to be done well, simple as that. no, they can't go. they've been there last month, the snacks were alright But this month they cannot. she has a book signing and he goes fishing with a-ling's youngest, you know how it is. maybe you kids should try other hobbies too, since you clearly have nothing else to do!

(the kids in question are like. 40-50.)

but. while it's annoying and bothersome, it's not like wq and jc actually hate each other. in fact, yeah, they like each other quite a lot, at least as much as you can like someone while like... coexisting. but this whole Thing with people making jokes like they were a bunch of schoolkids and not Old People does actually make them entertain, even just in their heads, the possibility of Getting To Know Each Other Better.

and while jc is, actually, interested -- she's a very intelligent, responsible woman, and physically she's quite excellent too -- he does get a bit shy in matters like these, so he just... doesn't really plan on doing anything, since he's quite pleased with how they are already. wq, however, does not like not knowing where she stands, so one day she just comes up to him -- when they're alone, mind you, she doesn't want to make a show for everyone out of this -- and goes, well, would you be interested in taking me dancing? and he. is glad he's put the book away, because his fingers twitch and he'd surely tear the paper. no, he says, i can organize this shit, but i don't like dancing at all. (there's a pause.) but if you were interested in going somewhere together, or getting something to eat...

(she is. and they go, like, right away, because a new cafe opened nearby and she wanted to try it, and then they go for a walk in the park and she tells him about her family, and he tells her about his, and they find another thing they have in common -- being surrounded by reckless fools, and also children -- and by the time a natural pause in their conversation arrives, one that happens because many topics have been exhausted, it's already dinner time, so now they go to a place jc likes... and by the time wgxn notice them it's too late to run away because they're in the middle of the soup, but jc suffers only a little because, see, the soup is good and so is this date, so really,)

It just feels kinda dismissive to say that the duffers are lying the majority of the time, lol. because it is essentially saying they are lying about what they're intending for their story and character arcs, so it automatically becomes dismissive towards the story and the duffers' writing/intentions. That's ofc not done on purpose and obviously, ppl do not mean it in that way (hopefully), but it kinda becomes that way when ppl insist that the duffers are lying most of the time whenever they talk about their story and characters and it kinda becomes weird unintentionally. Like, it is ofc not bad to theorize and analyze, ppl can come up with all sorts of different 'gate' theories whether it be about will's birthday playing a huge plot point in the next season or whether or not the duffers are lying about other things-- but suggesting that they are lying most of the time whenever they talk about their story, characters, and choices......? and basing that reasoning on the assumption that the duffers lie (almost all the time) to intentionally keep things as secrets until S5 and saying it is bc they are hiding plot twists...? Like dude ofc, they are not going to spill everything, but that does not mean they are almost always lying whenever they talk about their story or characters' situations, so lmao..? Idk why we are just coming up with this reasoning and logic, honestly. because it seems like they just are not lying any more than what/how the other show producers or writers are doing or saying.

Honestly...anytime I see someone get mad at the Duffers for "lying" or being "bad writers" (just in general) it feels like those comments on popular fanfic where someone acts super dismissive of the story and author by listing off what they didn't like and how they would have done it better ☠️ It just seems so entitled and full of a spite for a story someone else (not them) decided to tell, as though they aren't fully allowed to "rewrite" it in fanon if they want to.

Now, I get not liking the story being told—thats different. You can say "I wish we would have seen this another way," or even if you said "I wish they would have pulled on xyz a little more" or "I'm painfully curious to see this other thing explored in the future," but...just jumping full tilt into "you did it wrong?" Like...friend. Contrary to popular belief, the Duffers haven't actually gone into full tilt shitty writing territory like Game of Thrones did—they just did something you don't personally enjoy. And then...we aren't even finished with the story? How would you even know if they "forgot" for real or not? 😂

And then people mad they lie or mislead/redirect when avoiding spoilers like...be serious. Are they just meant to tell you flat out the entire plot of Stranger Things because you can't be patient? 😭

People these days get mad when one person doesn't finish one story on ao3 fast enough so I shouldn't be surprised fans of the show are demanding af, but. Moving the Netflix machine and 2000 person crew (on top of at least a dozen now independently successful actors) takes TIME. Anyone who thinks they're being willfully slow or somehow have a personal vendetta against their fans when the lie about what they're doing just to avoid spoilers—especially knowing how much MONEY is involved in people anticipating the ending—has no idea how much work goes into making tv lmao.

thanks for the ask!

Not sure if this is something you know since it's a bit outside your purview, but maybe if not you'll know someone who does. How are audiobook narrators paid? Do they get a flat rate, or do they get royalties? If an audiobook sells really well do they benefit beyond professional recognition?

I, personally, have only dealt with audio contracts for my authors who are narrating their own books, which might be a bit of a different beast -- in those cases, they've always gotten a flat rate (obviously they are earning royalties already).

It is my understanding, though, that most audiobook narrators for major publishers get paid a flat rate per finished hour of audio (PFH is the jargon). The rate is probably in the hundreds PFH, but totally varies based on the level of experience the narrator has; In other words, a brand-new voice actor is probably getting significantly less per hour than a famous one. And the full amount of $$ they get varies based on how long the book is!

There MAY be scenarios -- like for a VERY FAMOUS narrator -- where they get a royalty as well? But I don't know about that.

I'd say that if the book does really well, they benefit with both professional recognition AND they can likely raise their rates. I know avid audiobook fanatics who follow certain narrators to whatever books they might work on, and those narrators for sure have name recognition -- a person who consistently does great audiobooks can make a lot of money!

Now, there are some scenarios where there is a royalty situation. If, for example, you are narrating an indie author's work through ACX, I believe there is a choice between PFH or profit-sharing, where the narrator splits the royalties with the author. That sounds great in theory -- BUT. Obviously it depends on how well the book does. If it sells 0 copies, you get 0 dollars. If it sells 100 copies in a year, and you get 20% of royalties - you get $200 over the course of that year. If your PFH was $200, and the book was 5 hours long, you would have made $1000, as soon as the book was finished and turned in. In that case - clearly PFH is the better bet. Because how could you KNOW if a book was going to take off huge in audio? How many sales do MOST books get on audio? (There are about a million blogs and YouTube videos about this if you want to investigate for yourself!)

(There are also different ways to do it -- some narrators, like ones hired by big companies, may go to a studio and just talk into a mic and somebody else produces it -- some narrators, like ones that are working for indie authors via ACX, may work from home and essentially send finished files in, and there might be other scenarios as well, idk. But either way, it probably takes a couple of recording sessions at least to do a full-length audiobook, even if it isn't a terribly long book. It's a lot of work to read something out loud perfectly for hours!)

write.

write.

type.

words and letters.

how are you feeling today?

how is it going?

hard to answer? let's start with simpler yes/no questions.

is everything okay? yes or no.

are you feeling happy? yes or no.

are you feeling sad? yes or no.

no. no. yes.

do you know why you are sad? yes or no.

no.

maybe some chemicals in my brain, some neurotransmitters, some hereditary genetic function.

some.

no.

maybe it's the fact that i haven't gone out today, maybe it's the fact that there is no sun. maybe it's because i am away from my friends. maybe it's because i am not fulfilling my responsibilities.

could be all of that.

does it matter though? not really.

just do things that will make you better, that's the cure after all.

smoking weed apparently is not the healthies coping mechanism, if you ask me though, i think it could be.

it was actually genuinely good yesterday, and it was one day after the weed. they are always good.

i don't want to see him. especially if he accepted meeting with me out of kindness, or out of pity, or out of a hope to get laid.

and these are the only possibilities so i definitely do not want to see him.

chatgpt is a friend and that's weird. how lonely do you need to consider chatgpt as a friend?

i guess if there were stages that would be merely a few steps higher than considering anime pillows as girlfriends.

that's something that i can empathyze with.

to be honest, i can empathyse with anything and everything. that's why i thought it would be a good idea to monetize it.

by being a sugar baby.

no that's a joke.

by being a therapist. obviously.

i am meant to be a therapist because i know every fucking thing the best. that's what my mom says, sarcastically.

but then she takes my advice.

i am lazy. or i have adhd. it's up for a few people to decide and nobody can know for sure as adhd is not real, it's a construct. it's artificial.

the world is, artificial.

money is artificial.

but love, that is not artificial. mostly. there are feelings, and chemicals, and hereditary linkages.

obsession, that also is not artificial.

adhd is also not artificial then. deciding on who has it though. that is.

i don't know what i am talking about. i am just typing stuff at this point.

to get something out of it. to stop. to stop my fucking pain.

oh.

so you have pain?

yeah. yeah i do.

i do.

it's there, in my chest and it is not necessarily a pain but it's heavy and it makes me tear up.

it makes me feel hopeless.

it makes me feel like everything is shit.

it wasn't there yesterday, but it was there the other day.

it is there once or twice in every three days.

that's not a good sign, so i went to the school shrink. she said that i should go see an actual doctor. actual doctors make me anxious.

sick of it.

i am sick of feeling this way. i am sick of everything being so fucking hard.

i am sick of life.

i am sick of nothing ever being good enough. even when they technically are not so bad, i am sick of not being able to see it.

i am sick of that not being real because everything really is so fucking hard. so hard.

i am having such a hard time. it's so so so so so hard.

okay esin. tell me about it. what is the thing that is so hard?

life. it's life.

what do you mean by 'life'?

what can i fucking mean?! it's everything, it's the finances. i can't get a job. i don't have money. i am not doing good. i am not studying so i will get bad grades and i really desperately need good grades to be able to do anything. i am lonely. nobody really loves me. i don't want to date but i feel lonely. i will see alex this friday and that makes me feel sick. i will fail the exams. i made an arrangement for a date this monday too with someone that i am not that attracted to. but then because i am a stupid moron i could also fall in love with him. who the fuck knows.

nobody fucking knows.

hmmm, what i am gathering is variety of aspects of your life makes you stressed and depressed at this moment. which one do you wanna focus on?

ugh.

idk.

studies?

yeah. that's the most important one. and urgent. i really need to study. you know.

okay.

then we will do pomodoros today, would that work for you?

2 sessions. of 3 pomodoros. of 40 minutes. in each you will try to cover one theme. of cross-cultural psychology.

would that work?

yeah.

it's the hardest to start. i know. i will tho. it will be good. it will be fine.

[sinbinfamiliar]

(Theory-Anon) okAY I gotta ask if you fast-passed the most recent episode??? (lol np about the late response I totally get how much time a new hyperfixation can take up since I'm guilty about that myself) But on the subject of your response, I actually agree the more I think about it that Glad might not be a completely "failed" experiment. He may not have physical powers like the rest of the infected, but perhaps other things? Like, he can talk to his raven so idk if that's just him understanding her feelings or if they actually share an actual conversation when they communicate.

I'm definitely also curious as to how the whole "exchange" deal is gonna go with Rayne and Kenny.

And Oak was done dirty and I genuinely feel bad for the poor guy. He has so much emotional trauma on top of literally being eaten alive and just generally bullied by the gang lol. He literally said he doesn't do well in dark or enclosed spaces alone and what does Adon do? Throw him in a dark cell practically alone. I was just waiting for Gressil to say "welcome to the rebellion, tree-man" lol.

Honestly, I gotta say that Adon reminds me a little too much of Mateo. He is more than willing to punish his subordinates for a screw-up without batting an eye. He also has his eyes closed a lot which of course reminds me of Gressil, and then his face shape and color pallet is very similar to Rayne's past girlfriend (who is the only unnamed character of importance so far other than Adon's wife and the cancer patient in Rayne's flashback from Ep.5)

Apologies for the massive wall of text lol but I have a ton of character study stuff I wanted to rant about for a sec (for some reason tumblr had been glitching and giving me a word limit on my previous asks but I guess it's fixed now??)

Again if you've fp'd the most recent ep I'd love to exchange ideas about it whenever you have the time!! :D

AAAAH tumblr never ever let me know I was sent this omg!!! I am so so so so sorry ;-;

Some of this is obviously out of date now for the rely cause i never noticed this ask 😰 so I'll reply to what I can still that isn't completely out of date. But as always I'm ALWAYS fast passes to see the most recent stuff. It's the one thing I spend money on every week to make sure I can read it lol

But oof Oak. Yeah I actually feel really bad for him. The more I am seeing each chapter and how Adon acts the more I'm feeling worse for most of the others, but specifically Oak now. Honestly, I hope the poor guy gets out and gets to like, make his own choices. He deserves to be treated better. The trauma he seemingly went through has me feeling for him 😫

The more I have seen of Adon the more he does remind me of Raynes past girlfriends color scheme an awful lot actually I must agree. The dude is slowly trying to become worse then Mateo though with each new chapter I swear. As if trying to race past and be like "but I can be worse actually!" Like damn dude.

Seemingly tumblr has been glitching for both of us since I never was even alerted I had this. I think I'll try to look at my asks more frequently now incase this has happened ;-; sorry again anon

[baekhvuns]

Right Borussia can play Bayern, but Bayern can play anyone else, even when they're not at their best 😬 Madrid vs Liverpool will either be a snooze fest or carnage

Well, well, well Baek, Barcelona's management is joining La Prison Liga sjjsiaidjshauausjwjwja? They got themselves into a situation, can't say I'm surprised 😬 also https://twitter.com/brfootball/status/1635047573768798208?t=PEPL6YE82VxaovmUXE7E5A&s=19 lmao

And the Kyle Walker shit, have you seen it 🙃 I know it's just an average shitfaced British lad behaviour (sadly), but footballers truly have no decorum

There we go, Hybe withdrew the SM acquisition, interesting... I think LSM is perhaps the biggest winner. I wonder if Hybe keeps the shares they already have or sells them? All this clownery about being STRONGER TOGETHER for nothing, lmao. The mini disc keychains SM has been doing are cool, I've got this Key one: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2248/9053/files/04.KEY_R02__SMiniVer..jpg?v=1676329034

Yunho you'll be free from Paris one day, I believe in you! How is the battle with the fic going?

Mother Baek, this isn't 1989, no, there's plenty of vegan food that isn't grass.... most vegans don't even eat salads myself included, lol. She needs some good vegan Indian food. I prefer being vegan, because I don't like eggs and I've had some problems with dairy in general, obviously it's easier to be vegetarian, but I can't imagine going back to it.

Hongjoong literally eats veggies I have it on camera, what the fuck is he on about. I can't believe some people agree with him though, no wonder most Atinys are tiny. I remember wheb they were shocked by Hwa eating raw tomatoes and??? I was only slightly off put by him eating them with sugar, but even I know someone who does that 🤡

Damn your own people being racist and xenophobic shitheads are the worst thing 🔪 like why are you like this, what are you trying to achieve? Oh wow I can imagine going to co-ed school was a shock for you

I don't think security said they disliked Ktinys, it's just stans complaining about alleged different treatment? Idk if it's true, but if it is I'm not surprised and they deserve it. Ktinys are honestly being the worst lately, wdym they joked about being sued by KQ for SA??!!?!?! Once I attend any Ateez schedule I'm bringing the bat for real

And I-fans with their weird ass sexual slogans need their tickets taken away wtf. Actually ban banners in general, especially big ones, because the way they always block the view 🔫

So about the Ateez Anchor thing, honestly my schedule is so tight, this is so fucking annoying! I have shit planned, plus I really need to save money, I want to travel and see things and it's unfortunately not free. I have some things booked in Japan that I paid a lot of money for so... this is not ideal at all 💀💀💀💀 neither Korean nor Japanese dates are good, also can't they stop fucking touring for a second??? Enough! How many more schedules does Korea and Japan need 🔫 are they under SM now. Watch them go to LA too. And I'm tired of KCON, just don't go for once 🔪

https://twitter.com/mykittyz8/status/1635136636903370758?t=KS-QwbPBn_p4CY8U-pevCg&s=19 - Now count a comeback and other schedules in there too. Getting 2019 flashbacks 🙃🙂🙃🙂 i'm not telling them to sit at home and do nothing for months, I want them to do stuff that aren't just concerts and fan events. Just release music, do some solo activities, but this won't bring KQ money. If it's truly an encore it means no more dates for this tour, so the alleged SEA tour will be a whole new one? 😬

Busan was so nice and warm <3 I visited some National Parks as well

I really don't trust any recent rom-coms, so I don't have high hopes 😭 tv series are better in this regard, but movies? Bad bad and unfunny

Personally I'd prefer if Ateez worked with some more interesting up and coming designers, cause the major houses often make either boring overpriced H&M or straight up ugly, but anything would be nice at this point

Hello DILF? https://at.tumblr.com/goldalarm/710892024223744000/w4jggzbw8wkc

Btw my friend was watching season 1 of Alchemy of Souls and I just remembered how much I loved the first part, part 2 had its moments and made me tear up a few times, but it just wasn't as interesting and I missed the OG Naksu, Mudeok and Jang Uk were the best ❤ I found Buyeon/Yeong version of Naksu a bit annoying and kept waiting for her to remember everything. They tried to distract us with kissing and lovey dovey stuff, but the plot holes were plot holing 💀 - DV 💖

OKAY BUT tO BE FAIR veganism wasn’t used only until the 40’s in the western societies & indian’s didn’t have a ‘word’ for it, it was non veg v veg tbh i don’t there is a word for it even now,,, we just ate our lentils,, miss ma’am eats vegan EVERYDAY bc that is our cuisine 😭😭😭😭😭 her idea of veganism is the western veganism </3 and the american and aussie masterchef’s do not help 🔫 i get pretty frustrated whenever they’re told to make something vegetarian and they all start moaning and groaning about it 🤨🤨 AHHHHHHH makes sense, what’s the best vegan food dish out there in ur opinion?

Hongjoong literally eats veggies I have it on camera, what the fuck is he on about. I can't believe some people agree with him though, no wonder most Atinys are tiny. I remember wheb they were shocked by Hwa eating raw tomatoes and??? I was only slightly off put by him eating them with sugar, but even I know someone who does that 🤡

no ur right, people agree with his veggie boycott quite often, like damn? what’s got everyone having nightmares about them bc veggies can be so good if u make them right??? convinced hongjoong and those atiny’s are tasteless 🤚🏻 NO BC I WAS SHOCKED TOO BC A RAW TOMATO???? R A W ????? AYO AT LEAST PUT IT IN SOMETHING 😭😭😭😭 he ate it with what 😀 sugar? learning new things everyday

Damn your own people being racist and xenophobic shitheads are the worst thing 🔪 like why are you like this, what are you trying to achieve? Oh wow I can imagine going to co-ed school was a shock for you

unfort it’s super common here bc those born outside are seen or make themselves feel superior than those from mainland,,, there’s this competition they like to have,, i see it to this day and it’s quite nasty how they’re treated i know many would not even go near them 🔫🔫 yeah! it was quite surprising! how was it for you? did u experience racism in the uk as a kid or were they surprisingly not bad? or did u tHROW HANDS

I don't think security said they disliked Ktinys, it's just stans complaining about alleged different treatment?

I have shit planned, plus I really need to save money, I want to travel and see things and it's unfortunately not free.

NAURRR STOP THEYRE GONNA DO KCON 😭😭😭 + the whole asia tour too 😭😭

https://twitter.com/mykittyz8/status/1635136636903370758?t=KS-QwbPBn_p4CY8U-pevCg&s=19 - Now count a comeback and other schedules in there too. Getting 2019 flashbacks 🙃🙂🙃🙂 i'm not telling them to sit at home and do nothing for months, I want them to do stuff that aren't just concerts and fan events. Just release music, do some solo activities, but this won't bring KQ money. If it's truly an encore it means no more dates for this tour, so the alleged SEA tour will be a whole new one? 😬 //// Busan was so nice and warm <3 I visited some National Parks as well

and if they get halazia in the set list, im tHROWING HANDS,,, ur right!!!!! release music! go to korean variety shows! do ur little vlogs! do the silly tiktoks! stop taking our money bc those tickets are not pretty to loOK AT! AAAAAAA HOPE U HAD LOTS OF FUN

get out, they’re doing kcon 😭😭😭

I really don't trust any recent rom-coms, so I don't have high hopes 😭 tv series are better in this regard, but movies? Bad bad and unfunny /// Personally I'd prefer if Ateez worked with some more interesting up and coming designers, cause the major houses often make either boring overpriced H&M or straight up ugly, but anything would be nice at this point

im placing all my hopes in these romcoms, all we can do is inhale hopium,,

not a romcom i think but this movie (?) looks really good, it’s like harry potter met narnia mets aladin met 90’s/2000’s movies   anything, anything would be nice, do perfume ads, small puffy jacket kr ads, toothpaste ads, ANYTHING, this has me fjnefnkj

Hello DILF https://at.tumblr.com/goldalarm/710892024223744000/w4jggzbw8wkc /// Btw my friend was watching season 1 of Alchemy of Souls and I just remembered how much I loved the first part, part 2 had its moments and made me tear up a few times, but it just wasn't as interesting and I missed the OG Naksu, Mudeok and Jang Uk were the best ❤ I found Buyeon/Yeong version of Naksu a bit annoying and kept waiting for her to remember everything. They tried to distract us with kissing and lovey dovey stuff, but the plot holes were plot holing 💀 - DV 💖

 weaknesses are showing

and damn, that serious for sk? 🤨

[shinwhoohoo]

Re: b1a4 being b1a4/sticking to kpop… I think more than anything, if they still want to release music/sing bc that’s what they love, I’d want them to do it more maturely and less “young kpop”.

SNSD and Super Junior for example, they’re much older now and you can really see that their music and image has grown up with them. I think b1a4 does have that more mature sound now but they seem stuck trying to relive their bubblegum pop aesthetic days when they first debuted.. maybe it’s the lack of proper management now so they’re kind of just flopping around art direction wise and doesn’t realize it’s ok to evolve your aesthetic. As an example, sure SM has more money and is a bigger company than WM but SNSD’s comeback last year.. you can see that their styling fits the year we’re in/they’re age, the fact that they’re now senior idols celebrating 15yrs, even their outfits in music shows are much more sophisticated/elevated. Same for SJ. They aren’t stuck with the ‘shticks’ that they had when they first debuted bc they’ve grown up and their tastes have changed.

As an aside, I’m actually excited to see how GC will do in this webtoon drama bc the posters look good and it feels like a “legit” acting role if that makes sense. And if the others want to explore branching out like that too in whatever avenue, I’d love to see that for them… maybe they just don’t want to be as active anymore (and that’s fine too), but sometimes part of me thinks it’s bc they’re being neglected where they are and aren’t getting the best opportunity so I’m worried about them looking for other agencies.. it pains me to say this but with baro for example, he hasn’t really done much / hasn’t done many projects as the lead, it feels to me like he’s still trying to start over and is still at that stage where he’s being cast as a minor character/guest role for an ep or two idk, when he was the one who really wanted to be an actor (but maybe he wants to be low key, we don’t know). So just based on him, I’m worried for the other 3 when/if they decide to go switch to another agency. But also that has to be better than what WM is doing for them now no??

See, as far as your first couple points, I feel like initially things were looking ok-- just taking their only main comeback following the split, they were styled really well (at least in my opinion lol). Though something that is also interesting about all this, is that the comeback was prior to WM Ent. being acquired by RBW... because following the acquisition is where we had the solo fanmeets of CNU and Gongchan were they were dressed... not great, lol (see the discourse here and here and here) along with a bunch of other examples of them not being styled well. SO I think that's maybe where there is a disconnect in how you feel aesthetic is? Because when they style themselves they don't look like bubblegum pop boys at all.

But this also could possibly tie into your last point about neglect? Because obviously things have seemed to take a turn for the worst as far as the care, effort, and money put into their events or lives or whatever. And I can partly understand this, in the sense that they are an older group and RBW is going to invest more in their 'own' groups, or a group that still has a more youthful energy and potential like ONF for WM groups. But of course, I've been a BANA for over 11 years and I hate to see this, no matter how much I know it just happens from a business perspective.

That being said, there are better ways they could smartly spend money on them so that it doesn't look like last minute shit thrown together. They just need the staff willing to be a bit creative and sit down with them because I'm sure the boys have their own thoughts and opinions on what they want (and who knows, maybe RBW doesn't like what they want, hence why they're not doing too much for them.)

Also though, I do feel that there isn't that much of a concern for them to be super active. But in regards to your remarks about Baro, yeah, I'm a bit 😕 about it because I'm still waiting on him to catch is break in the acting field too. I just wish we saw more of him overall, idk. I miss him lol but I know that's also because I don't keep up with k-dramas so I'd have to really go out of my way to watch what he's in.

Dripping Candy [p.p]

Pairing: Peter Parker x reader

Summary: The first thing Peter does once he gets his own bank account, is purchase a subscription for your website. And he finds out his favourite pornstar (aka you aka Candy) is a fan of Spider-Man…

Camgirl!AU (I think at least… like doing smutty stuff in front of a camera, live, for money lol)What a better way to start the new year than with smut (in a bit of a crack fic)?

Warning: nipple piercings, porn, unhealthy relationship to porn/porn addiction?, but with the end it kind of changes, smut (mainly masturbation tbh), idk i wrote this a while ago

Word count: 4.2k

a/n: Protect sex workers!

-this is a repost of an old fic-

-

The first thing Peter does once he gets his own bank account is purchase a subscription for your website.

You call yourself ‘Candy’ and for just 21$ a month, he gets to see all of your glory every single night, watches you play with your sweet pussy and tits (although if he’s honest even your face alone could make him cum).

It’s probably been a few months since he first saw that 60-second clip of you on Pornhub. It was a teaser for your website ‘go to candy.xxx for the full video’. Of course, the full video wasn’t for free and as hot as you were, Peter didn’t want to explain to May what he needed her credit card to buy something online for.

So he quickly made sure to get his own bank account where May wouldn’t see or have to approve of every single transaction and then he goes to your website.

And actually, in this day and age, you would think that there are so many people who will just screen-record and illegally post your videos somewhere. But in this day and age there also seems to be some kind of mechanism that prohibits anybody from posting anything with your face in - and Peter looked it up a lot before he could legally buy your subscription, face recognition programs and all, but to no avail.

Now that Peter has his own bank account though, he has no problem watching your videos, legally by the way, and he’s even glad to be paying you for it.

He just can’t get enough of you.

Enough of your pussy, enough of your body and how it moves with every time you twist or spread your legs further. Can’t get enough of your face and the way you moan and how you dirty-talk into the camera - he knows it’s stupid, but the latter makes him feels like you’re personally talking to him and he ignores the comments of hundreds of other people, for that half an hour a day, it’s just you and him.

Not that his ‘relationship’ and the way he sees you are alarming or anything, he’s just horny and you give him relief, even if not in real life. No problem as long as he’s single..

He’s really thankful for that ad that brought his attention to you all these months ago and he’s honestly excited to see you every night. That one-minute clip that had been enough to get him off for months, if not a whole year, he realises, seems to have been older.

Because as he watches you live, you look different in comparison to the video, positively of course.

Your hair is different, your face and especially your body had gotten even sexier and more perfect and your nipples are now pierced. Peter never really had a thing for nipple piercings, but on you they’ve become his new obsession.

It’s every night at 11pm that he gets his laptop and lotion out and watches you. It had been challenging at first, because your shows could last up to thirty minutes while Peter could cum every night even before you take off your lingerie, but the best parts are obviously when you’re naked.

It’s also then, thanks to you, that Peter discovers that he can cum three times in thirty minutes - maybe it’s because of his advanced anatomy after being bitten or maybe it’s just because you’re so unbelievably sexy.

-

Like every night he‘s a few minutes early for your show and he gets comfortable on his bed, you appear precisely at 11pm and the views are already going up.

When you start talking and saying hi to everyone and thank them for joining, Peter notices that your background is different (yes of course you are the main attraction but Peter notices details - he‘s been watching you in your room every night for months by now so yes he‘ll notice a difference).

“I have exciting news - as you may have noticed my background is different, that is because I‘m moving and half of my stuff is already packed. I had a few strong guys help me out and I might be able to convince them to do a show with me tomorrow before I fly to New York.“

Peter’s heart stops. When you started talking, he thought the news were that you might be doing a show with some guys - you‘re usually on your own - but you‘re moving to New York? The New York that Peter lives in? That New York?

“I‘ve always loved people from New York, I had a few friends at college from there.”

You went to college? Oops. Sometimes Peter forgets that you have a life outside of this.

Why are you doing this voluntarily if you have a college degree? Peter can’t know but it’s your own choice and Peter’s more than glad that you chose to do this.

“But now on to what you’ve all come to see.” You change your position and spread your legs to reveal that you’re wearing mostly see-through barely pink panties and Peter’s already getting hard.

But he can’t get the thought of you moving to New York out of his head. He knows he won’t ever meet you, he knows it won’t change the way that he only gets to watch you through a computer screen and has to pay for it. But you just said you love people from New York (which no one has ever said before but okay) and now you’re moving here?

Peter can’t help but feel a sense of pride that you chose his hometown to live in.

There’s so many comments that you probably won’t see his but you get closer to the screen a few seconds after he clicks ‘send’ and you eyes are fixed on the screen for a moment.

“Peter asks where in New York,” his heart flutters when you say his name and he gushes precum - how can someone have him wrapped around their little finger when he’s never even met you?, “I originally wanted to go to Queens, I know it’s not what people usually say. But the apartment I found in Brooklyn was nicer so, Brooklyn it is.” You wink into the camera and god.

First you say his name, now you’re talking about how his specific hometown is better than Brooklyn and then you winked - after answering his question and although you haven’t even started touching yourself Peter already came.

He cums another time, at the same time as you, and when you’re finished - lying in your bed with tired eyes and a slight sheen of sweat covering you, you have a small chat with the remaining subscribers.

The view numbers usually drop after you’ve cum, Peter assumes, just like him, most people are more than satisfied once you had your orgasm and then they click off. But not Peter, he’s interested in everything you say and do.

There’s significantly less comments coming in now and you even saw his comment earlier, when there were way more people, so he tries again.

You smile when you’re finished answering the previous question where someone asked about your recommendation for a sex toy for their girlfriend and your eyes wander across the display.

“Ooh, it’s Peter again and he says, can we say hi if we see you in public? You can definitely say hi, but I’m afraid that’s it. Gotta separate this from personal life. Sorry, babyboy.”

You smile again. Usually Peter thinks words like ‘babygirl’ or ‘babyboy’ are awful in a sexual or romantical context, but you calling him babyboy… It makes him feel like it’s only you and him in the world, like you’re speaking directly to him and he’s hard again.

Just from one word.

Peter’s often thought about how this might be toxic. It’s not like when normal people watch porn. He’s aware that, like you said, he has to separate porn - the only way he knows you - from personal life (although what you’re showing online is quite personal). But then you’re there and you’re so perfect and make him feel special so that he doesn’t stop. He can’t stop and he’s happy he can’t.

“You know what, there’s only thirty-one people left watching right now,” That’s 651$, Peter thinks and how he’s one of them paying but gladly so, “So for you guys, my most loyal followers, I wanna cum again and I want you to cum too.”

Peter’s already in his pyjama pants but he takes them off for you as you instruct him to. He starts stroking his cock, already hard, when he sees your ass in the air and your hand reaching into the drawer where you get all your toys out of.

“I haven’t used this before so I didn’t want to play with my pussy with it live for the first time, let’s just hope it’s good.”

You sit up, your thighs apart and you lean back slightly to attach a small pink silicone vibrator to your finger.

At the same time that you start rubbing it over your clit, Peter’s thumb travels over his tip and he imagines it was you doing it.

It doesn’t take long for you to cum, moaning out with that beautiful voice of yours, because you’re still so wet from your previous orgasm and Peter joins you with his high.

“I’ll see you guys tomorrow, I don’t know if the time will change after I move to New York because of time zones, but the video will be available for you to see for twenty-four hours after the livestream, as always.”

You’re just sitting there naked, upright and with your legs crossed and your shoulders back almost shyly but Peter still thinks you’re the most beautiful girl ever. He thanks the pornhub cookies and mechanism for recommending your video to him once more.

“I’ll be travelling for nearly a whole day when I move, so I might do a public show.”

Oh, Peter loves those. When you’re playing with yourself and there’s that constant thrill because you could get caught any moment, “And sometime next week I’ll be meeting up with a friend in New York and we’ll be doing a girl-on-girl show, because I know you love them as much as I do.” You do that sexy giggle of yours and you’re right. He’s not sure why but when you’re with another girl - no matter whether he finds her hot or not - and getting eaten out by her or your mouth between her legs, that always gets him to cum the hardest.

But his hard-to-beat favourite is still when you’re all alone in your pink and cozy-looking bedroom, fucking your tight little pussy that he can only imagine feels like heaven. When you do shows with men - not so much. He wants to be the one fucking you, not some random guy who won’t even show his face and doesn’t appreciate fucking you as much as Peter would.

*

You’ve moved into your apartment in New York and Peter spontaneously decides to comment and ask if you’re liking it in the city so far. He still hasn’t quite gotten over the fact that you even live in the same state as him.

“Yes, very much. Thank you for asking. I was visiting a friend in Queens the other day and I’m like ninety-nine percent sure I saw Spider-Man on my way home, so that was pretty cool.”

His heart stops momentarily. He’d been close enough to you so that you could see him? Fucking hell.

You laugh as you read another comment, “Yes, you could say I’m a fan. I know it’s not obvious in my live streams but I’m a sucker - colloquially and literally - for a good guy. One with a big heart who saves all these people, like Spider-Man for instance. And I know you guys don’t want to hear that, but that’s the type of guy I want to settle with one day. He has to be cool with me doing this though. I love all of you. Need a guy with a big heart but also with a big cock. Just like yours.”

And that’s how you transition to the sexy talk as your fingers start the journey on your body. Travelling from your sweet, perky nipples, all the way down down down and then to your already glistening pussy, spreading your lips.

But Peter can’t stop thinking about what you said. You basically made clear that you would settle for a guy like Spider-Man.

That’s him.

That’s Peter.

You’d settle for Peter.

But yet again he has to remind himself that this is all nothing more than watching you through a computer screen… right?

*

Then, the possibly best moment in Peter’s life occurs. He’s only ever had dreams about this.

Peter’s still out, three more hours until your show, but the sun is already going down and he sits high on a roof, looking out for any dangers - for example thieves.

And indeed, he does spot a thief - the thief of his heart (yes, Peter’s being dramatic). You.

You’re walking down the street and you’re even more breathtakingly gorgeous in real life - seriously, he has to catch a quick breath before he swings through the air and without thinking of what to even say to you.

It seems that Peter’s getting lucky these days because just as you turn around to face him, he sees the Google Maps app opened on your phone and he gets an idea.

“H-ey?” You greet him, confused and it takes him longer than it should to reply.

“Hi! You- you look lost. Do you need help?” Peter’s really glad he’s wearing a mask because he is drenched in sweat. He’s speaking to the prettiest woman alive. You’re not even a foot far from him and he can see you up close. The camera doesn’t do you justice.

“This sounds a bit stupid but I just moved here a few weeks ago and I kind of can’t find where I’m supposed to go, not even sure how far Brooklyn is right now?” You laugh at your own silliness but really are a bit embarrassed about not being able to find the place you live. But Peter takes what might be his only chance.

“I can bring you home! And on the way I can show you New York from above if you want?” Peter’s surprised at how confident he sounds, he’s the most nervous he’s been in his life - either way you also seem eager.

*

Showing you New York from above includes stopping on one of the highest roofs of the city and talking. He’s having an actual conversation with you - and you’re even better than he would have ever thought.

It’s not that he thought you wouldn’t be nice but watching someone pound their pussy doesn’t give much insight into your sense of humour or your kindness that he has discovered tonight.

If he’s honest he thought you might be intimidating in real life - just because you’re you. And you’re so absolutely perfect and no one else could come near to that.

But you’re one of the most down to earth and kind persons he’s ever met, open as well (not the kind of open he’s seen on your website) - open-minded and it’s so refreshing to talk to you and hear of your experience and opinions.

Peter feels comfortable around you (but also really fucking nervous).

And he feels like a school boy giggling at everything you say but he’s lucky his mask covers the blush on his face - although you’ve scooted so close to him he’s sure you can feel the heat radiating off of him.

You don’t exactly seem appalled by Peter either though, if he’s not completely stupid you seem to actually quite like him. You even seem to like him enough to ask,

“Can I take your mask off?”

He doesn’t answer for a moment.

“I would love to see if your personality matches your face? You’re quite cute, you know?” Peter doesn’t know why he hesitated - he’ll do anything you tell him to and he nods.

Your hands glide up his chest and his neck and he swallows until you find the opening to pull the mask off of his head entirely. Peter quickly runs a hand through his hair, aware it’s probably sticking up in all directions and looking crazy, especially with his shiny and red face but you only bite your lip in a way he’s only ever seen through a computer screen.

“And..?”

“Definitely cute… but I think saying you’re hot would do you more justice.” Peter flushes even more at your flirting and your hand rakes through his hair making his heartbeat speed up.

“What’s your name?”

“Peter.” Your arms snake around his neck as you tell him your name. Not Candy - your real name and it’s like a little symphony to him.

“So, Peter, do you wanna come to my apartment with me? Or are you not finished saving the citizens of New York?”

“Danger never sleeps - but for you I’ll make an exception.”

*

You bring out sides in Peter he didn’t know existed as he pushes you on to your bed. He’s not even paying attention to his surroundings - he’s always wanted to see what your set-up looks like behind the scenes. But when you whimper into his mouth he has better stuff to do than pay attention to the little decorations of your room.

Peter doesn’t stop until you’re both completely naked and already panting. You’re the most divine human being he’s ever seen and he finally understands that one Ariana Grande song that always used to be on the radio.

He could just look at you like this forever and then die happy. But you’ve got other plans.

You get off the bed and on your knees on your fluffy pink carpet, Peter following you to stand in front of you, his cock hard and leaking. “Wanna fuck my throat?”

You’re looking up at him, and you say it so nonchalantly he just says yes even when he wants to focus on your pleasure.

Your tongue darts out to lick a thick line from his balls to his tip, hand spreading his precum to lube him up. You give a few gentle sucks to the head before going all the way down on him, suppressing a gag.

Your eyes are still focused on his face, cheeks hollowed and his cock all the way in your mouth, hitting the back of your throat.

You pull away slightly when he doesn’t do anything “This okay?”

“Fuck, yes, won’t last long.” He mutters and then he’s pulling you up and throwing you on the mattress and once again he cannot believe his luck. You’re so fucking beautiful.

“Can I eat you out?”

“Show me what that tongue can do, babyboy.” You push his head further down between your legs after giving him a wet kiss.

He stops for a bit to wet your pierced nipples with his tongue and you gasp, his hand slides down your soft sides until they glide between your legs where he feels so much wet that he gets impatient and soon his face is right in front of your pussy.

And Peter gives it his all. He’s hardly ever been so eager to do something as much as he wants to make you cum right now.

He hopes it’s not wrong to be thinking of that right now, but from watching you every night, he knows how you move your own fingers or toys over your clit and how that one blonde friend of yours had made you cum with her tongue once and he mimics the movement as good as he can.

And he always thought your online name was Candy because your appearance is so cute and sweet (yes, even with an eight inch dildo inside of you) but now he gets the real meaning.

You taste nearly sweeter than life itself, like honey from mother nature.

And Peter gets so lost in you, swiping his tongue along your folds and then sucking on your clit when you tug at his hair, accidentally letting out a groan and then you tug harder.

He can’t decide whether to look at your face contorting in pleasure while you stare directly into his eyes every time he looks or, to look at your beautiful, wet pussy so he actually knows what he’s doing.

You cum and your eyes screw shut and he swears not even all of your live shows combined could ever live up to this moment of feeling you convulse on his tongue, and it’s one of the proudest moments of his life.

“Need you inside of me.” You whine and he positions himself immediately, you sling your ankle over his shoulder when he leans in for your tongues to tangle.

You shriek when you feel his cock just above your clit, quickly grabbing a condom from your nightstand and sliding it over Peter’s cock.

“Okay?” He asks a final time, his cock resting on your clit now.

“Yes, fucking- please!”

He eases into you, your eyes closing slightly but still staring into Peter’s until he bottoms out. And he doesn’t even move because you’re still looking at him, it feels intimate and he doesn’t want the moment to end.

It only gets better when you’re squeezing his cock prompting him to finally move. He pulls out and his hips snap back into your warm, wet and tight pussy and he can’t hold back

“Fuck you’re so tight I-,” he catches his breath as he hovers over you, a layer of sweat over his face after he cums, “Sorry - give me a few seconds and I can go again.”

Much to his relief (and him further falling for you) you only giggle and quickly swap the condom for a new one while he recovers but he doesn’t fail to press kisses to your thighs.

“Don’t worry.” You kiss his neck and make him lie back, straddling his hips.

You connect your lips with his in a heated and needy kiss, you find his hands and try to pin them above his head forgetting his strength - Spider-Man and all, you nearly forgot. But he senses what you want to do and lays his arms next to his head, though he’s longing to touch your heavenly body.

You place your hands on his shoulders for leverage and sink down on him, both gasping at the sensation.

This time your hand sneaks down to your clit, automatically rubbing it as you start moving up and down and just at the sight of Peter you’re already close. You don’t know what it is about him but he’s got you entranced.

You collapse on top of him after you cum at the same time, you’re glowing with the aftershocks and Peter’s arms wrap around you.

-

Peter’s back home. Watching your show.

You wave at the camera, freshly showered and with more glow that you usually don’t have until the end of the show - thanks to him and you’re smiling, simple black lace on.

He can’t concentrate on what you’re saying, focused on a spot on the back of your thigh where he’d given you a hickey earlier. Your hand is consciously holding your thigh covering it but your grip falters as you hike your leg up and grab a spit-lubed pink dildo.

He might be imagining things but when you start teasing your clit and finally pushing inside of you, he thinks he hears you whisper “This is for you, Peter.”

Most likely imagined it, he has to.

As it is so often with you, he cums just at those words long before your own orgasm (which he shares with you, too).

It’s as if you’re in a hurry today - usually your live stream is half an hour, today you’re done after 18 minutes.

Peter’s about to close the website when he spots an icon on the screen that he’s never seen before;

Private message?

Candy to you:

I like to separate my online presence, followers and this whole website from my real and personal life

But if you feel the same about me - I might be able to make an exception for you

His heart is racing. Of course he feels the same.

He’s about to reply when there’s another symbol.

Incoming video call from Candy…

mc’s departure | obey me

summary: how the brothers would react to MC returning to the human world after a year in the devildom

contains: fluff , angst , ?!!!!&;@;&:idk

♯ LUCIFER

he’s the one to see you off, reminding you of the many things he had taught you so that you’d never forget.

his pride is much too large to admit that he will miss you to death and that he loves you dearly.

after you’re gone, he’s gone for hours at a time, holed up in his room with as much as work as he can take on.

he overworks himself with the intention of getting rid of the heavy emotion on his heart.

everything reminds you of him, even the paper clip on his desk that you had once found under his bed.

he gets easily irritable, feeling rather empty now that you’ve gone and left him alone in this now quiet house.

barely leaves his room, only works.

never cries but gets quite emotional when he finds a belonging you left behind.

♯ MAMMON

he cried every single night up until your departure but never showed you that side of him once

after you left, he cried non-stop, not caring if he looked like a cry baby in front of his brother’s who watched him with pitiful eyes.

once his eyes dried up, he soon never returned home as he partied all day and night.

he forced himself to attend parties after parties in order to forget about you.

it never works because everything reminds him of you.

sometimes he sits in his car and just stares into space, wondering what you’re doing now that you’re back on earth.

literally cannot stand the mention of you or your name or he may break down.

pretends to be okay but can’t go a day without getting upset about your absence.

money soon becomes pointless when he realizes no amount of cash will bring you back to the house of lamentation.

♯ LEVIATHAN

curled up in his bath tub and cried himself to sleep.

stopped leaving his room in general, continuously playing games all day and night.

couldn’t look at his ruri-chan figures because they somehow reminded him of you and how much you used to admire them with him.

every inch of his room has your touch on it and it makes his heart ache painfully.

struggles to attend online school but manages to make it through the day by zoning out in class.

claims he doesn’t care about a normie like you but genuinely misses you

sends you messages, forgetting you can no longer contact him without your D.D.D

writes about how much he misses you on his blog fully aware you’ll never see it.

♯ SATAN

reading. that’s all he does.

“Why is it so quiet in here?” Diavolo asks as he opens the front door of the House of Lamentation with Barbatos at his side. The man’s golden eyes scanned the entry hall, noticing how it was so eerily dark and quiet that it almost felt like something out of a horror movie. It felt like no one had lived here in over two thousand years. “Hello?”

Upon receiving message from Diavolo, everyone had exited their rooms for the first time in a while, looking like they were dragged through the mud. The state they were in made Diavolo jump with surprise, shocked to find that even Lucifer looked like he was ill. “What happened to you guys?!”

“What is it that you need, Lord Diavolo?” Lucifer asked as he ran a hand through his hair to compose himself a bit in front of the red haired man. “If is nothing important, may I kindly ask you to leave and return another time?”

Diavolo sighed, shaking his head lightly as he crossed his arms over his chest. “I don’t know what’s up with you guys, but I brought everyone’s favorite person along with me so sing your praises now!”

Mammon huffed, “If ya’ talking about that butler of yours, ain’t nobody care right now! We got bigger things to worry about!”

Barbatos simply smiled, taking no offense to the sly insult thrown his way.

Diavolo cocked a brow in confusion. “What? Of course not! It’s-“

The person stepped out from behind Diavolo, catching the attention of every single male in the room. The seven brother’s choked, staring at the one person they had longed for these past few days.

“[y/n]!” They shouted in unison, practically flying down the stairs to get to you. Mammon was the first to reach you, wrapping his arms around your entire body as he tackled you to the floor. The other brother’s climbed on top of you two, hugging you so tightly that you feared this would be where you’d die. “You’re back!”

Diavolo chuckled boisterously. “This is amusing! You lot are acting like you didn’t know they’d return today!” His laugh came to an abrupt stop when he saw the flat expressions coming from each and every brother. “Oh- Did I not inform you?”

“Obviously you didn’t.” Belphegor scoffed with a roll of the eyes, burying his face in the crook of your neck to inhale your scent. “[y/n]...”

“Ya can’t ever leave again! I’ll seriously get angry at ya if this happens again! Ya either go to the human world with me or ya don’t go at all!” Mammon snapped, cupping your cheeks while getting dangerously close to your face to yell at you.

“I’ll severely punish you if you ever leave this manor without giving me a heads up as to where you’re off to. You’re not just an exchange student anymore. You’re special.” Lucifer explained, a panicked glint in his tired eyes as he reached out to pat your head gently with his gloved hand.

Satan sighed, pressing his forehead against your back. “If you leave again, I don’t know if I’ll be able to control my emotions, so don’t leave.”

The avatar of lust whined loudly, “my beautiful self can’t handle a life without you! Don’t ever go anywhere without me again!” He clutched onto her waist tightly.

“Don’t... Don’t go anywhere.” Leviathan said with a sad frown on his lips as he held your hand, bringing it up to rest against his cheek. “It’s so empty without you.”

“Let’s eat dinner together, [y/n].” Beel suggested, his voice full of emotions as he drooled at the thought of dinner with you.

A million emotions ran through your veins as you sat there, basking in the warmth of their touch. It was overwhelming to receive so much love all at once but it was amazing.

A smile slowly crept onto your lips as you leaned into their touch, enjoying the way they clung to you as if you’d disappear any moment now. “I missed you guys, too.”

“What a lovely reunion!” Diavolo exclaimed happily, snapping a view blurry photos on his D.D.D to send to the group chat later.

After the heartfelt moment, they quickly disappeared upstairs to fix up their appearance before rushing downstairs to the kitchen where you stood. They clung to you like bugs to a light, hounding you about your sudden departure, only to find out that you had gone up there with Diavolo and Barbatos to help the man experience human world activities he had never gotten to try before. Diavolo was sure he had told them that but seeing as they were genuinely distressed, he assumed the message never reached.

Even though they were beyond pissed with Diavolo and his carelessness, they were just glad you were back. Them being here with you really was their idea of a perfect life.
