birthday sleepover (office nerd!matty x reader smut)

final day of matty35!! happy birthday to my favourite boy. have a fic about watching star wars and shagging afterwards to celebrate!! enjoy <3

“why did we need to rewatch the ending of return of the jedi on dvd? i thought i was doing a good thing cueing them all up on demand for you coming over.”

“no, you were, darling, i appreciate it so much, but i really need to show you this bonus feature,” matty kisses your head, before abandoning you completely to stand next to the tv and gesture to the force ghosts appearing to luke skywalker onscreen. “look - different anakin.”

you squint. “what? how?”

“they retconned the digital edition for continuity - added the guy from the prequels to the dvd box set release in 2004,” your boyfriend explains, eyes lighting up in that adorable way they do when he’s passionate about something; naturally, it’s how he looks at you, most of the time. “that’s the original guy, there. same guy who played unmasked vader in the him and luke reconciliation scene, you know. isn’t that weird?”

“yeah.” you’re not lying.

matty moves back to sit next to you on the bed, tugging you onto his lap and gently holding your face. he kisses you, soft and slow and long, and you can feel his affection for you in it. “thank you for marathoning the original trilogy with me, darling. best birthday i’ve had in a long time.”

you pout. “not best ever?”

“that would be the tour of st. james park when i was ten,” he grins. “but this is a close second.”

“i’ll take it,” you kiss his nose. “wait… so if i was to take you on a tour of st. james park…”

“stop it right now, i might cum.”

“oh, for god’s sake,” you facepalm, trying your best not to grin while matty cracks up beside you. “let’s 86 that idea, then.”

“yeah. and we can do that number take away 17 together instead.”

“what… oh,” you smirk at your giggling boyfriend. “then you really will cum.”

“so will you,” matty leans in to kiss your neck. “you know how much i love it when you sit on my face.”

“fuck,” you can't help moaning at the thought of his tongue slicing through you, flicking against your clit with reckless abandon as you writhe on that pretty face of his; the way it's currently soothing the bite he just left on your neck isn't helping, either. “is it bedtime yet?”

matty presses kisses up across your neck to your lips - when they meet yours, you slip your tongue into his mouth, and the whine he lets out completely liquifies your insides and sends them straight into your underwear. “yeah… wait, babe,” he pants against your lips. “we haven’t let maggie outside tonight yet.”

“oh, right,” you look around the room, slightly groggy, for the puppy you were convinced was asleep on her bed by the radiator. “she’s not in here?”

“think she left halfway through the empire strikes back. reckon she was bored,” he looks at you pointedly, smile threatening to break out. “takes after her mother in that regard.”

“i wasn’t bored!”

your boyfriend kisses your nose. “sweetheart, i saw your eyes glazing over like five separate times,” he kisses all over your face, dragging a giggle from your lips with each press of his own. “but you stayed awake through all of them, and you didn’t complain, and i think you deserve head as a thank you.”

“you know, baby, you don’t actually need an excuse to eat me out.”

“yeah, i do,” matty blushes, hiding his face in your neck. “because i’d just have my head between your legs all the time if i didn’t.”

you laugh, holding the back of his head and cuddling him. “well, the sooner you take the dog out, the sooner you can come back and do that to me.”

the speed with which matty practically shoves you off his lap and runs out of the bedroom is comical. he laughs when you smack his ass, turning back to blow you a kiss before running towards the living room, shouting for maggie. you roll out of bed, darting over to softly close the door behind him then making a beeline for your wardrobe.

excitement - and slight nerves, you must admit - building in your stomach, you reach behind a stack of band tees on the wardrobe shelf, standing on tiptoe to grab the paper bag you stashed there a week ago. moving quickly, acutely aware that you have limited time before matty returns, you pull the lingerie from the bag, barely even looking at it before you’re yanking your (well, matty’s) t-shirt off and replacing it with the fancy bra. only once you’re fully dressed in the new underwear do you admire it, moving to stand in front of the full-length mirror and examining yourself. adjusting the chains holding your tits up, and smoothing any creases from the long skirt, you turn, looking at your outfit from different angles, giggling deliriously.

you look hot. extremely hot. matty’s going to fucking lose it.

and he’s going to be back any second - you can hear him padding along the hallway, humming the imperial march to himself. chucking your discarded clothes onto the chair at your vanity, you all but launch yourself back onto the bed, and settle into the first sexy-ish pose that comes to mind: lying on your side, facing the door, elbow propping up your head and top leg slightly bent.

a brief wave of panic washes over you when the realisation of what you’re doing sinks in, but you don’t have time to psych yourself out of it before matty’s knocking softly on the door. “darling?” he sounds concerned. “you alright? can i come in?”

you take a deep breath. now or never, you suppose. “yeah. come in, angel.”

“got worried when i saw the door was- oh my god,” matty’s breath catches when he opens the door and sets eyes on you for the first time. he stands there quite gormlessly for about a minute, mouth agape and pretty eyes blinking constantly, as if to make sure you’re actually lying on the bed in princess leia cosplay and he isn’t dreaming. his eyeline shifts quite constantly, too, flitting from your smiling (smirking) face to your legs to your chest and back again. yours shifts down over his bare chest to his boxers, already beginning to tent, much to your delight.

mission accomplished.

twirling your hair around your index finger, you smile at your boyfriend. “happy birthday, baby,” biting your lip, you beckon him over with the same finger; he stumbles forwards, entranced, sinking to his knees at the side of the bed. you run your thumb over his lips, and matty whines quietly, eliciting a satisfied hum of your own. “do you like my new outfit?” 

he nods so frantically you fear for his neck. still, you want to hear him. “words, sweet boy. want you to tell me what you think about it.”

“okay,” matty croaks out, eyes glued to your tits. “you- you look fucking incredible. um, just, like, so sexy. m’so fucking turned on. never been so hard in my fucking life. seriously.”

he isn’t kidding; you glance down at his clothed dick, visibly straining against the fabric, and you can feel your ego inflating to match. “yeah?” you slide your hand into his hair. “what do you want to do about it?”

“wanna fuck you,” he whimpers, looking doe-eyed at you. “but i wanna eat you out first. can i? please, darling?”

he’s so fucking eager. you’re obsessed with him.

nodding, you move so you’re sitting on the edge of the bed in front of matty, flicking the front of the skirt out of the way; his pupils dilate even more when he sees you’re bare underneath, and you giggle. “go on then, gorgeous.”

matty’s barely gasped out a “thank you” before you’re being tugged towards his face and it’s buried between your thighs. really, there’s no other word for it - if you could think anything coherent amidst the pleasure searing through you with every movement of your boyfriend’s tongue, you’d genuinely worry about whether he can breathe or not, so close is he to your core. but how can you be expected to think when you feel so fucking good?

of course, matty being matty, he’s slightly graceless with his tongue in his overexcitement, but that’s easily remedied - you root your fingers between those curls you love so much, using them as leverage to grind yourself against him and, in the process, guide him to do what you need him to. he groans what you assume, knowing him, is a “thank you” into your cunt, and the vibrations of his voice add an extra layer to the stimulation already turning you into a wanton, whining mess of a woman. “fuck, matty, such a good boy for me,” you pant, stomach contracting with every lick. humming happily, he takes your clit into his mouth, sucking on the bud and making you wail.  “yes, yes, just like that… fuck, you’re so good, so fucking good to me. keep going, angel, make me feel good.”

just like you knew it would, the praise spurs your boyfriend on, more than you would’ve thought humanly possible had you not spent copious amounts of time with his mouth on you just like this. after he’s had his fill of making out with your clit - for now, at least - matty turns his attention to your hole itself, licking into it like melting ice cream, driving the muscle into you to the hilt, over and over and over. that in itself is enough to make your legs convulse, but then he adds his thumb to your clit; some form of half-scream half-sob thing drags itself up your throat and past your lips as matty draws every pattern he knows you love onto the bundle of nerves, and your thighs involuntarily clench around his head, keeping him flush against you.

as if he would ever leave you hanging.

some part of your pleasure-numb brain urges you to apologise, tells you that crushing his head like that is surely painful, but it’s quickly disproven by your boyfriend whimpering into your core, pretty little masochist that he is. he looks up at you, beautiful eyes rolling back further into his head with every moan you make, responding with whines and groans of his own. there are a lot of things to like and love about matty, and his focused desire to always make you feel good is one of them - he gets off on this, making you feel nothing less than euphoric, and there’s no way in hell he’s stopping doing what he’s doing until you cum.

and when he rapidly flicks his tongue on your clit, side to side, curls flying everywhere from the force with which he’s shaking his head, you do. the building ball of pleasure in your stomach shatters, careening into your veins and nerves and brain and voicebox, and it’s all you can do to hold him against your cunt until the aftershocks subside.

matty giggles breathily, tenderly rubbing your thighs as you flop back onto the bed and catch your breath. when you’ve stopped shaking quite so much, you sit up on your elbows to look at him. “now where on earth did you learn that last move?”

he shrugs, cheeks rosy from use and damp with you. sweet as caramel and completely earnest, he replies. “just wondered if it would work.”

“jesus christ,” you giggle, shaking your head. “you're perfect, you know that? now,” you beckon him again. “get up here, birthday boy.”

matty doesn't waste any time; he's lying beside you before you've even finished talking, giddy smile intact. you make the same face in return, climbing onto his lap and pressing your lips to his, while his hands find home on your waist. the taste of yourself on him is exhilarating - you moan into matty when it hits you, and he takes the opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth and fluster you even further.

it's such a good kiss that it physically pains you to pull away. but the sight of matty, all messy hair and big adoring eyes, makes up for it. smiling, you stroke his cheek with your thumb. “so, birthday boy, what do you want to do next?”

“hmm,” matty's brow furrows adorably, hands tracing the bare skin of your torso as he thinks. after a moment, he looks up at you shyly. “i’d like you to ride me, please.”

before you can open your mouth to agree, he bursts into speech again. “but only if you want to! we can do something else if you’re not in the mood for that. god, i’d take anything at all. but, also, nothing. i don’t mind,” he takes a breath, smiling lovingly at you and stroking your hair. “to be honest, i’d settle just for looking at you, darling. my beautiful girl”. 

your cheeks burn, your heart flutters, and all you can do is kiss your boyfriend again. it's sweeter than the last kiss, but it quickly deepens into something desperate - you lift your hips and tug gently at matty's boxers, and he lifts his own hips to let you slide them off. you giggle against his lips as he holds you at a funny angle so he can kick the underwear off, pulling back slightly to talk. “can i fuck you now, sweetheart?”

matty smiles. “you can do anything you want.”

“alright,” you grin at the way he whimpers when you take hold of his dick, eyes fluttering closed when you pump it; you softly touch his face as if to stir him. “eyes open, sweetheart. want you to watch me.”

“okay. sorry,” he obliges, eyes opening and widening as you sink down onto him slowly, hands braced on his hard chest. “jesus christ.”

“yeah,” you breathe, jaw dropping as you take him fully. after a second, you begin to grind your hips, riding him slowly to adjust to how big he is. “always feel so fucking good inside me, baby. how is it for you?”

“perfect,” he's fucked already, eyes heavy and jaw slackening, a sheen of sweat covering his chest tattoo. you speed up your movements, and matty groans, gaze fixated on your tits. “can i touch you, please?”

“of course, angel.”

“thank you.” just as you predicted, your boyfriend's hands immediately go to your chest, palming and squeezing as best he can through the bra. feeling generous - it is his birthday, after all - you reach backwards and undo the garment, chucking it somewhere in your bedroom. matty smiles deliriously, and when he lightly pinches your nipples, you can't help the way your hips speed up or the moan that escapes your lips.

clearly, he isn't the only masochist in the room.

your thighs are beginning to burn from the effort, but you ignore it. matty's enjoying this, the way you're fucking him, as evidenced by the whines of your name and groans and whimpers that fall from his lips, punctuated by the gorgeous sound of your skin slapping against his. and you're enjoying it, too - he hits a delicious spot inside you every time your bodies meet, and given your previous orgasm you don't think it'll take long for you to get off again. 

he also seems to be getting close, hips sporadically jerking up into you. it feels good, actually, so good that you decide it might be time to relinquish control for a bit. you smile sweetly. “do you want to do the work for a bit, angel, wanna fuck me?”

“can i?”

fuck, you have the most adorable boyfriend in history. you nod. “i'd really like that.”

“alright,” matty shuffles beneath you, sitting up more against the pillows and moving your arms to rest on his shoulders. he kisses you, so deeply and passionately that your head spins. “can i make you cum, please, darling?”

“yeah.”

he smiles, hands moving to hold your hips. “whatever my girl wants.”

no sooner than the words have left his mouth, matty fucks up into you as fast as he can. you've no idea how he can even move at such a brutal pace, but you're not about to complain; you're not about to do anything, actually, except cling onto him and moan into his neck, your second orgasm of the night creeping closer and closer with every thrust of your boyfriend's hips. urging it on even faster, you slip a hand down to your still-sensitive clit, matching pace with matty and pulling the pleasure out from your very bones. you throw your head back, whimpering praise and pleas for him to get you off; matty watches, mesmerised. “fuck, you're beautiful,” he groans, still fucking you with reckless abandon. “cum for me, please, please. wanna watch you, wanna make you feel good. need it, darling, need you to cum.”

his pleading is what does it for you; with a wail, you bury your head in the crook of matty's neck, whimpering into him as you cum for the second time in under an hour. he brings a hand to the back of your head, tenderly holding you close as his hips stutter to a stop, murmuring more pleas into your ear. “fuck, fuck, please let me cum, can't - shit, darling - can't hold it any longer.”

“do it,” you speak into his skin. “cum, baby, fill me up.”

matty whines, thrusting up into you a final time. he wraps his arms around you as he cums, kissing your shoulder as he recovers. “thank you, sweet girl. so good to me.”

“so good for me,” you lean forward to kiss your boyfriend, both of you unbothered by the cum leaking out of you and onto his stomach when he slips out of you. “always exactly what i need.”

matty smiles. he holds your face so carefully, caressing your cheeks when you pull apart. “i've changed my mind.”

“about what?” you frown, confused.

“about what my best birthday was,” matty giggles, still panting for breath. “it's this one. hands-down. fuck the football.”

you laugh. “can i get that in writing?”

“after today? you can get anything you want,” he laughs, slightly manic, shaking his head in disbelief. “i can't believe you bought and wore that outfit for me, darling. sexiest fucking thing i've ever seen, christ.”

“i'm glad you liked it. i had a lot of fun,” you kiss his nose. “happy birthday, baby. can i clean you up?”

“in a minute, my girl,” matty wraps his arms around your thighs and tugs you until your core hovers over his face, currently set into the biggest smirk you've ever seen. “my turn first.”

This will be more of a personal post sprinkled with some thoughts on AYS?!, so for those interested strictly in shipping content, you can skip this.

I couldn't help myself yesterday to wait until my work schedule was done. So I watched the first two episodes during lunch break and work, while using the keyboard from time to time to not appear offline.

And then a second time in the evening, without as many interruptions. I even texted my sister to remind her that the episodes have been released (she has JK's songs on her playlists and that's where it stops). My tone was very casual, as if I just remembered it was already up. As if I haven't actually been thinking and obsessing about that show for a year now. But that's because I can't let this online, fandom "life" seep through my other, "real" one. I've always struggled with my feelings of shame over being part of such spaces. Which is why I avoided them completely. Up until four years ago. I'm still dealing with it. I don't want to tell people that I have an interest in a kpop ship and that it's been ongoing for a few years now. It feels to foreign to the image I allow others to have of me and this kpop stuff is childish to say the least. I've fallen victim to the talking points I've argued against intellectually. But life doesn't work that way. My rational brain doesn't get along with my feelings.

So I keep my thoughts about shipping, fandoms, jikook here. And I share them with friends and people that have a connection to it. It's why I have a blog. So I can post a photo of jikook holding hands at the beginning of their journey and at least 10 people will understand it cause they like the same thing. I'm not a loser on my own here so the thought feels comforting.

I didn't have specific expectations about AYS?!, but I felt happy watching it. It was different, but a good different. Having the opporrtunity to witness them from morning till evening without any interruptions painted an interesting picture and it's the first time to see some parts of their dynamic.

They bicker, they flirt, they get lovingly annoyed, they get bored, they get silent, they get touchy. It feels more real than any 2-min clip from a Memories DVD could possibly show us. I don't want picture perfect jikook because it doesn't exist. Being in stan spaces, all I see everyday is worship, a mentality that is then transfered to the people surrounding the idol. But I don't want JK to worship Jimin 24/7 or vice versa. That's not a real relationship of any kind. I want to see them treat each other like they're just people. Which is what they did. Too bad that some have interpreted that as negative when in fact all we got were clear signs of actual closeness. And nothing beats it like Jungkook's attitude towards Jimin being sick. Shippers/supporters have clips and endless arguments on hand to explain the closeness between jikook, but honestly? That first evening in the cabin when JM was in the bathroom and subsequently the next morning should be the sole argument from now on. It can't be more obvious if it hit us in the head.

It's not about needing confirmation at every step of them being a couple. At least I don't need that. In the long run, it wouldn't even matter if they're not. What's noticeable is that they appear to be one and that doesn't come out of thin air.

Is my mood volatile these days? Yes. Actually these past few months. Do I need this show as one of those feel good series? Definitely, because there's nothing else out there to catch my attention in terms of tv content. I don't want to pick apart and poke holes and question every single line to make myself feel miserable. Everything else is too bad and I am too lame so I rely on this show for a short, temporary thing that improves my mood. I don't care about other things, doubts or worries. I really really just want to enjoy jikook doing whatever they want. I don't have high standards.

Deadpool & Wolverine is so freaking good!!!!!!!!

I am a happy nerd. That was so awesome in every way! I can't wait for the DVD release. Ahh Fun Marvel, how I've missed you.

I love the box art for the older DVD releases of the 2003 TMNT show. I was disappointed that they edited the scene where Hamato Yoshi's spirit sliced Tengu Shredder in half. Some scenes in some of the episodes had a weird blurring effect. Some of these OOP box sets are a bit expensive if you're looking to get them in the best condition possible but it's totally worth it though. Turtles Forever in the Ultimate Collection box set wasn't the uncut version either sadly. At least they did release the uncut version in the UK. Nice to own my favourite TMNT show with everything intact.

I bought some of the volumes too because they had special features on them like interviews with Peter Laird. The Australian and UK releases of Vol: 6 Shredder Strikes Back had an alternate ending for the episode 'The King'.

Nice to have all of the 1987 and 2012 episodes on DVD too. I wish they did Blu-ray releases for 1987, 2003 and 2012. That Japanese OVA was a bit random lol

Even have Next Mutation in the collection despite the majority of TMNT fans hating it. I grew up with it so I have a soft spot for it lol Can't wait for the 4K release of the 1990 movie which I think is coming next year. TMNT 2014 and OOTS look good on 4K. Batman vs TMNT looks awesome on 4K too.

I wish they would do an official complete series Blu-ray release of Rise and for the movie too. The artwork on the 4K Mutant Mayhem steelbok looks cool too.

Solitary for the DVD commentary

I pulled out this section but really any of it

Warriors doesn’t wait for his brother to close the distance, instead catching that hesitant hand and squeezing. Legend squeezes back, and then, face twitching with something dangerously close to worry, the youngster darts in, wrapping arms around him for a moment, shoulders tight and face still furrowed in a frown. “You’re going to be alright, cap, I promise. We got you out.”

In the moment though, out isn’t his concern. No, the living, breathing form of a brother, cast in faint and flickering light in the dingy cell, smelling like forests and blood and yet somehow still carrying the scent of fresh apples, is right here in front of him. Here where he can hear another breath, hear a voice, see someone else, someone who’s talking and sees him and-

He doesn’t care if desperation bleeds through his motions as he catches ahold of his brother, but he holds tight until Legend shifts away, and even than he’s hesitant to let go. It’s not missed, but the younger hero doesn’t tease, instead staring at him with one of those long, hard to read, considering looks, before stretching out a bejeweled hand. He takes it without question, letting himself be pulled to his feet and guided towards the door.

He doesn't release the vet’s hand, focused on it on his skin and the sound of the soft voice caressing his ears. Legend keeps his voice low, as though he knows somehow that noise has become foreign, but he keeps talking as he guides the both of them through the dungeons with the same sort of blind confidence as he takes when leading the way through a time gate. “Her highness signed a pardon the moment we told her what happened, so you’re free. We’re getting you a bath and a meal before we join the others, and whether you like it or not you and I are sleeping somewhere before heading back.”

He’s very much not objecting to that idea.

The vet pushes on as though he does. “It doesn’t have to be here. All things considered I’d be shocked if you wanted to spend more time here then you have to. I mean you look like the First Hero himself, danggit, but I’m not getting back on the road without a sleep, and quite frankly I’m not keen on running all the way back to Hyrule Castle again today.”

Oh golly, this was probably one of my favorite fics from the Febuwhump this year!

Legend and Warriors, if you can't already tell based off my library of stories, are two of my favorites to have interact, and there are a million different combinations one can have them in!

For this fic, I was craving some Warriors hurt comfort with Legend being the comforter, which is something I don't write as often as I should, but thoroughly enjoy it when I do.

In this bit specifically, Warriors has been locked up for an unspecified (to him) amount of time and has steadily been working himself up into a state of panic that 1) the other heroes are in danger and he can't help them and 2) if something does happen to them, he might never get out of prison. The longer time goes on, the more he's convinced of this, and that is not helped by the fact that he has been denied even the smallest of human interactions for the entire time.

Now, with that in mind, present him with a brother he trusts, one who he messes with all the time, yes, but also someone who is his equal as far as he's concerned; not a child or someone to guide or train up. Legend is his friend, and suddenly he's right there, alive where Warriors was beginning to fear they had all died, and, well, of course e reacts in desperation!

Legend, meanwhile, is very familiar with dungeons of both sorts He knows what it's like to save someone out of there, and maybe I'm drawing a bit on the manga, but Fable surely struggled at least somewhat with having been locked up and kept prisoner for as long as it took for her to get help to arrive. Legend knows, also, what it's like to be trapped in a dark place for a long time, away from friends or anything remotely safe.

This is why he approaches as he does directly before your selection:

  That doesn’t stop the younger making his way over to him, surprisingly slow with his motions, like Twilight when the man approaches a strange cat, crouching low and reaching out slowly, watching him closely and listening for anything to give concern. 

Legend has no clue what happened while they were gone, but he is prepared for the worst case scenario: a Warriors who doubts ad distrusts him after getting left behind, a man who may have been fed lies or tortured or hurt- keep in mind, Legend doesn't trust his own soldiers, who he knows; the captain's are a bigger threat to him, and thus also to his brothers.

So, he's slow, he's quiet, but not silent. He's making his presence known, obvious, not sneaking up on the captain, but also not making a lot of noise in case it sets him off. The fact that Warriors responds favorably at first is in no ways something Legend takes to mean all is well (and he's right), so he continues being careful. he respects the boundaries the captain silently (and unconsciously) is setting by respecting what space is needed, and while, for Warriors, that space equals none at all, Legend still goes with it.

On the flip side though, warriors is desperate for the assurance that 1) he's not alone any longer and 2) his brothers are safe. Legend's presence is a duel blessing because if Legend is there that means he's alive, but it also means the captain isn't alone any longer, and there's a part of him that's desperate to assure himself that that is the case. So, he's clingy.

I mentioned previously in the fic that Wars has bad sensory feedback, being partially deaf due to explosions in the war, nerve damage, and, like most humanoid species, a rather pathetic sense of smell in comparison to, say, Wolfie. Sight is his main source of information, so keeping his eyes on Legend is important, but he still grounds himself with his other senses. What does Legend smell like? What does he feel when he holds him close? What is he hearing?

The hug is because Legend is also scared for his brother, so yeah, he both knows that Warriors probably needs comfort (he's not kidding when he says that he looks like shit) but also that he really wants that assurance for himself as well. So, he hugs him. And Warriors hugs back. And when they leave the dungeon, they hold hands because they both want that assurance that the other is there, and safe, and alive.

With prior experience though, Legend makes a point of keeping up with the captain's other senses in the best way he can; talking. he's carefully controlling his voice because he can tell loud noises are a bother, and he lets Warriors set their pace even though he leads the way (the first one if they run into danger, the one who will protect the captian if something goes wrong).

What does he talk about though? He answers the questions that he would have had, but also sets a course of action for what happens now, making a point to let Warriors know whats happening to him now, but also giving him a chance to make some choices for himself, to exercise freedom and have his choices respected. Legend knows those are important after you come out of a situation where you have no control at all, so he's giving that courtesy, but also prioritizing Warriors' health and their joint safety.

The last paragraph there was more for me though. I wanted to show Legend's desperation in that he ran back, on his own, in order to fix this as soon as possible. I also wanted to touch on just how messed up by all this Warriors really is; the first hero was emaciated and essentially a walking corpse, so legend making that comparison is an observation on how thin, bedraggled and lifeless the captain looks coming out of the cell. Granted, he's sort of being overly dramatic, but it's Legend; that's what he does.

-

Anyways, that's that! I hope I covered everything you wanted to know! This whole fic was actually greatly inspired by an episode I watched of Law and Order: SVU, which had touched on solitary confinement, how it essentially prolongs jail sentences in the minds of the prisoner experiencing it, and how even the slightest hint of human interaction is hungered for, even if it's just catching sight of your guard. Don't ask me the episode, I binged like ten seasons this year and couldn't tell you, but it popped up the moment I saw this prompt and I knew I had to play with the concept :)

Based on your own experience and years in this fandom with so many contents being released, if you had to guess, how much do you think we'll have to wait until we have I AM STILL and RPWP documentaries on DVD or available in a streaming service?

I wish we had both before 2025, but I think we'll have to wait a long time :/ I'm really sad that I can't watch on cinema 😞

I don't really know but I think they'll probably release something in november and december. in my opinion, yoongis docu came out fast on dvd so I think the same thing could happen with jeongguks docu. I think there's a chance that jeongguk's docu will come out in the same way as yoongi's docu. and about namjoon maybe it will also come at the same time or next year. 🤔 because apparently we're still getting another dvd group this year. a few months ago I saw on twitter that bighit requested a review of new ptd content (but it's been a while since this happened and they haven't announced this dvd yet so I'm not sure).

so I think maybe we're going to get three dvds this year.

I'm glad it's finally 2024, because sooner or later, these animes will FINALLY be released on DVD and Blu-Ray and I Can't Wait to start collecting them!

I've always been curious as to what your pfp is from 👀 is it a cartoon or something??

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ME ABOUT THIS!!!

Okay so back in 1990 the animation studio Hanna-Barbera released one season of this cartoon called Gravedale High. It was basically a 90s version of the Monster High Franchise. It was about teenaged monsters going to school and getting into shenanigans. One particular class had a human teacher (who was voiced by actor Rick Moranis).

The character in my pfp is Vinnie Stoker, a vampire. His last name comes from Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula. He's this cool guy, 50s style greaser vamp who talks like the Fonz from the show Happy Days. Despite being a rebel, he's actually very sweet and loyal to his friends, especially his best friend Reggie, a nerdy werewolf.

I just love vampires, regardless of the media. I even cosplayed as Vinnie one year!

Like I said, there was only one season and I don't think it ever got a release on DVD or Blu-ray. But!!!! The whole show is free on YouTube. It's got the classic VHS look to it. Tumblr is being weird and I can't post the link, but just search for it on YouTube. I highly recommend giving it a watch 💜

Also!! Fun fact! One of the characters is voiced by Jackie Earle Haley. He's best known for his more intense roles like Rorschach in Watchmen or Freddy Krueger in the reboot of Nightmare on Elm Street.

But in this show he's voicing this super laid back, surfer dude version of a swamp monster named Gill. Just totally opposite vibes lol

it was such a good movie! i forgot how long its been since new hq stuff has been released. well, anime stuff, at least. but i can't wait til it comes to dvd so i can just rewatch it lol. but i am curious what part two will be... i mean i thought it would all be just timeskip stuff.

[rosetta-j-stone]

Anyway I can't wait for them to release the DVD so I can watch that opening credit sequence on repeat like the one for Cvetlicarna

[keeperoftinyarmy]

I think jikook are featured a lot for a couple of reasons the first being that jimin and jungkook just naturally spend the most time together. Even when they aren't the primary focus we'll get background shots of those two doing something which is probably the second reason they aren't just sitting next to each other on their phones they're interacting doing something interesting and fun. One of the last ot7 award shows before Jin enlisted they were playing the hand slapping game backstage while waiting infinitely more usable then any of them sitting on their phones or having a conversation that can't be released so if jikook spend a lot of time together and their relationship naturally includes having fun then they're gonna be fun to watch and you need fun when your DVD is 8 hours long. Third tkkrs full of shit and in the world of celebrity good press/ bad press > no press. Enough people like them separately and together that they benefit from the screen time and it's better fo capitalize off what already exists than to try and ignore it and make a whole new thing and the people who hate it also won't shut up about it which as we all know is a goldmine

I am so glad you chimed in. Thank you for bringing up good press/bad press… even the hateful keep them trending

A list of Spitting Image media I'm looking for to improve the wiki:

Best quality full footage of Series 13-18 and Specials of the original 1984 Spitting Image - I've found the episodes on Archive.org and Odysee but some episodes have recording errors such as low volume levels, low quality VHS video quality and cut-scenes (such as the ending of Series 14 Episode 2 where the song "Hey Good Lookin'" is cut off abruptly). This also causes some teaser sketches to either start abruptly or not be featured in the recording at all. I need higher quality recordings in order to make sure the episodes have good enough quality galleries, hence why I'm waiting for DVD releases so please do send me the best quality recordings if you can.

Spitting Back (1992?) - this is the only special listed on Wikipedia that I currently haven't found.

Thatcherworld (24/10/1993) - currently only found an ident, promo images on Shutterstock and the opening sequence. This is a really obscure TV movie that aired on a BBC channel as part of a series dedicated to Margaret Thatcher, and features Spitting Image puppets interacting with live-action humans. Also features pre-Spice Girl Emma Bunton as one of its leading characters! Out of all the things I'm looking for on this list, this is the most interesting and the one I want to see in full the most.

the blur thing is making me insane, and it is maybe hard for people from the outside to get it. but picture this, a 16 year old starts getting into a band in 97, then goes crazy about them when they release a masterpiece a couple of years later but we were still mostly offline back then, access to things was so limited. my first email is from 98 but back then we didn't have internet at home or even a good computer. i used to listen to music on cds, waiting all day for mtv to show one video, and here in brasil they've always privileged awful american bands like 'faith no more', and 'rhcp', ugh. i was thinking beetlebum, but i am pretty sure it was 'country house' or 'the universal', that first appeared to me late at night at some point, that is why i went and bought blur/blur when it came out in 97. i still remember the store and the act of me buying it, that spark of energy that you could feel back then, oh i think this is for me. when 13 came out i was in love with them enough to not need visuals for it, but i used to buy 4th gen copies of concerts via mail order from a pirating store in são paulo. it was so hard to come by any kind of content. finally by the early aughts we got the early (good) internet, some official dvds, and we could illegally download so many great music, buy on ebay old magazines, and discover every single hidden blur song that they ever made, but what i was really excited about were the new songs, the new album. and then i find out via a shitty webcam that graham was out of the band. i understand now that it was a hard time for everyone, but i couldn't help and really resent them for leaving graham behind. it was so depressing, it felt like getting really into the beatles just as about they were to break up, i picked sides, i was upset, i hated (still resent) that album that sounds nothing like blur (and that hideous banksy cover, barf). it was such a bittersweet feeling, when i finally could get somehow near them, my main reason for me loving the band was cast apart. years went by, every reunion they did felt like a triumph and a step closer to where they were before, i saw them for the first time live in 12, after missing the 09 ones, bc i couldn't afford it. you could feel they wanted to put it right, but often you could tell the wound was still raw. i'm a big fan of the magic whip, the album that graham put together, because he wanted there to be more blur, that think tank wasn't the end. i understand that the way the album was created wasn't 'organic', graham made it happen because he wants to work with damon, he wanted to show they could do it again, and i think he did an amazing job, i think it is a beautiful album. but it was not until now, that i have felt that we've come out at the end of the tunnel, so now i am reading all these interviews of damon talking about their friendship and how important musically it is for graham to be there for blur to be blur. it feels like 23 years later i am getting what i was expecting to get back then. the more i listen to the album, more layers i find about them, their friendship, and it's so fucking nice that damon is finally talking about it too. i guess most people get over their teenage obsessions, i am not 16 anymore, but unlike most bands from that era they've kept growing and growing, they don't want to be stuck to the past anymore than i do (my teenagedooom was the worst). it feels really nice growing up with your favourite band. that is why this feels so joyful, and why i can't stop talking about it. feeling grateful about it.
