Some gohans just.. kinda goin through it

[bronx-bomber87]

Happy Monday wonderful fandom :) This episode. It doesn’t need much of an intro. I remember just being so excited I couldn’t stand it ha (how I'll be in 36 days for the premiere) I had to wait an extra day cause I have Hulu and not live cable. This one is just amazing from start to finish. Once again did my best to get everything in within the limits of tumblr. 30 is just never enough especially in this season ha Off we go.

5x10 The List

Our babies get the cold open as they should this is basically their episode. They deserve the open and what a cold open it is. I can’t get over how much I love them both emptying out their closets. I wanna break this down with Tim first then Lucy. Our boy is SO SO nervous it’s so cute I cannot stand it. He wants to look good for Lucy and I wanna squee so hard at that. He’s trying so hard for her and my heart is gonna implode.

My fav for him personally was the black shirt cause god damn he looked delectable in it. But they’re all fine af on him. Man is a delicious treat we all get to enjoy with our eyes. The way he stretches out his arms each time trying to calm his nerves. It’s so cute. Loved them showing how very nervous they both were. Be still my heart.

Let’s move to Lucy. She of course is just as nervous as Tim. It’s precious. I also adore the nod to previous moments for them as she looks at her dresses. The ones from wonderful moments such as 4x12 and 4x18. Lucy looking at them and rolling her eyes. Having just as much of a struggle as Tim. Saw a good parallel between this and Bailey with her first date with John. Wanting to look hot but not too hot. Ha She nails that BTW When she finally lands on her final choice.

Tim is nervous and uncertain so what does he do? He calls Lucy. Because he doesn’t know what to wear to this. What does one wear when they’re in love with their best friend and going on their first date? So he defaults to calling his best friend about his problem. It just so happens he’s also going to be on a date with said best friend. hehe I love them so much I might die haha

Lucy sees Tim calling and immediately picks up. Makes me happy how open and honest they are right off the bat. Tim knows she isn’t ready because he isn’t ready. Just knows her so damn well. Lucy asking if he’s ready? The cute panic in his voice when he says ‘No!’ Oh my lord I cannot. Eric crushed that line. His panic continuing through asking her if this place has a dress code?

Lucy deciding messing with him is more fun than helping him. Saying he could wear cargo shorts if he wanted….Tim believing her for a moment. Then realizing what she’s doing. Calling her out for it. He is all smiles when he does though. My goodness this man is happy. So very nice to see. I love his Lucy smile it does things to me. Lucy rolls her eyes but is beaming just as much at his reply. This scene is them being love struck idiots and I’m here for it.

He couldn’t be cuter asking her what she’s wearing? Trying his best to match up. Lucy tells him she has a lot of outfits she knows she isn’t going to wear. LOL Tim reminding her about traffic is the most married thing. Doesn’t want her to be late. To their first date. Which is beyond adorable in itself. They’re both so excited I’m feeling their excitement as they get ready.

Lucy says it’s silly she knows. She just needs to make a decision. Then decides to go with the iconic green dress from 3x14. Tim knows exactly what dress that is when she mentions it. The man is legit beaming when she says that's her pick. Have we ever seen this man this happy? The answer is no LOL

He is so damn excited they’re doing this. Her picking the dress means it’s really happening. Lucy tells him it’s decided then looks in the mirror and says ‘No…’ I was rolling so hard. Melissa and Eric CRUSHED this scene. Hell this entire episode really. Cracks me up she changed her mind last minute but it’s a damn good change up as we will see below.

The awkwardness that is them begins at the restaurant. Talking about bread and the assortment being good. LMFAO What are you guys doing? It’s so funny to see Tim being so incredibly not smooth. He could not be more obvious in checking her out above. Man likes what he see’s and isn’t being subtle about it at all. Elevator gaze and no shame in the game as he does.

Lucy’s little shimmy. I’m dying. She’s very glad she decided to change from the green dress. As she should my god what a bombshell she is in that outfit. Holy hell. She nailed it. Shows off her body, plunging neckline, with the perfect necklace, and just enough cleavage she got Tim checking her out shamelessly.

Lucy came to play with this dress. She knew exactly what she was doing when she picked that whole outfit out. I think she’s very excited he’s checking her out. There’s a look of pride on her face above. Lucy knew she was driving him wild and was feeling pretty damn powerful in this moment. She has Tim Bradford panting after her. So she should be feeling as such. Well done my friend haha

Let's not over look Tim looking fine af too. I see you Tim. Mighty delicious. You know him looking hot as hell is part of Lucy's nerves as well. He dressed that way for her. So you know that's making her feel some things. They try and do some small talk and it’s quite painful tbh lmao. No one does awkward better than Eric and Melissa though. Talking about what they ordered for dinner. It's so awkward but I love it so much at the same time. Why you ask?

Because this means so much to the both of them. Neither of them want to mess it up or say the wrong thing. So they’re radiating nervous jitters. Which is adorable. Lucy answers his question that she ordered the sea bass. Tim continuing the small talk train replying he almost ordered the sea-bass.... Lucy’s reply ‘Oh, cool…’ Is it though? LOL I’m rolling at how stilted this whole conversation is. Not like them at all.

Lucy points out the awkwardness between them because she can’t not. Asking him why this is so weird? Poor Tim the panic and gulping he does when she says this. We see his eyes bulge a little too. He’s so worried she’s going to want to bail on this now. That she is regretting doing this at all. He wants this to work so badly. He’s afraid he’s messed this up already. My poor love. He is so nervous that it spills into his next comment. Awkward Tim is hilariously adorable.

He instantly regrets saying ‘Naked time.’ the minute it leaves his beautiful lips. You can see it written all over his face. Being as smooth as crunchy peanut butter my love... He has sex on the brain because of that outfit. Hence his comment. She looks so beautiful his brain is actually melting LOL Lucy is smiling so hard at his nervousness though. She loves her goober so much. Lucy knows how he is feeling what she is. So she doesn’t give him too much crap for the comment but her face and reply say it all for her haha

Lucy decides this is the time for them to have convo about expectations. I commend her for sharing this right away. It was good for her to set this boundary early on. These two are one massive boiling cauldron of UST ready to overflow. It was an important tone for her set for them. Lucy is just wanting them to date first. See what it is like to be a couple before entering into the physical part of this all. This really was a smart move on her part IMO.

We all love the sexy times and we get lots of it this season. But it was important they took their time like they did. Just like I was glad they didn’t get together in 5x01. I was glad they didn't rush this either. Delayed gratification is a beautiful thing. I LOVE how Tim is staring so lovingly at her as she says all this. That man would’ve done ANYTHING she wanted in this moment. Absolutely anything. He could not be more in love with her if he tried. Look at that man above as she speaks.

Looking like she hung the moon and stars. He would do whatever it is she wanted. Because he’s so gone for her. Lucy could’ve asked for the world and he would've delivered just simply because she asked. There is no hesitation or regret on his face. He is truly listening and wanting to do whatever she is comfortable with. Eric just crushing it out here with his facial expressions. He would give her whatever she wants whenever she wants it. That’s what his face is screaming to me In this moment. She has him hook, line and sinker.

Tim hears the back door open and looks up. Lucy sees the panic on his face and gives him crap for it. Asking if he’s worried someone from station will see them? Tim shrugs it off and says 'What are the chances? ' A fight breaks out in the kitchen and Lucy seems worried about it. Tim tries to play it off not wanting it to interrupt their date.

He just wants this date to go well so badly. Doesn’t want whatever this is to get in the way. Sadly it doesn’t go their way and the employees end up fighting and knife is drawn. Unfortunately the cops are called and their dinner is ruined. Lucy making the comment ‘What are the chances someone from the station walks in now?’ HA

They both look so sad and exasperated their date was ruined like this. All they wanted was to enjoy a meal together. Figure this whole thing out while they did so. AMAZING cold open for them though holy hell. Excellent way to open up this episode for them. Lots of goodness in it. I knew we were in for quite a ride from getting all that in the open alone.

The next morning they could not be more suspicious or obvious if they tried. Trying to figure out how to explain their presence in the police report. This whole scene is hilarious. It’s like they don’t know the entire station doesn’t suspect something to begin with…Trying so hard not to stand super close to each other while they figure this out. They’re so bad at hiding this it’s insane. So good at their jobs so very bad at this. I love Lucy just wanting to be open and honest about them. Chris had to drag every single moment out of her for months. Was like pulling teeth. Half a date with Tim she’s ready to shout it from the rooftops.

*sigh* I love this sfm. Tim warns her the dangers of them doing that this early on. He’s not wrong about Smitty LMFAO. It’s so true. Lucy’s brain kicks into gear saying could’ve been doing a UC OP. Tim getting excited by her brain. They start flirting while figuring this out. Their chemistry just coming off them in waves. The back and forth banter as they work out the details. The irony of them being all smiles and flirty while trying to hide their date. I cannot with these two dorks. Tim is beaming with love and pride by the time they’re done plotting.

Once again so bad at hiding your feelings and or relationship you two so bad…I saw a funny post saying this scene was a 'How to on not being good at hiding your secret relationship. ' LMAO YEP. John arriving and Lucy just going off about their OP without him even asking. I’m dying so much it’s hilarious. Tim going into protect Lucy mode when John is confused is everything. Telling Nolan decisively 'Nothing.' When he questions what they're talking about? Mmm tell him babe. Doesn’t want Nolan on their trail whatsoever. Good thing it was John though cause dude didn’t notice at all. He is a space cadet so they dodge a bullet.

They get called into Grey’s office for a heart attack basically. The way he starts off you think he is talking about them. The absolute panic on both of their faces. Especially Tim’s oh my lord. I love how Tim goes to reach out to comfort Lucy and has to stop himself. Now does Grey know at this point? I mean yeah probably.

I know lots of people think Grey was being a troll in this moment. Poking at them and knowing for sure when he had this talk with them. To gauge their reactions. I mean they are showing their cards like crazy in this scene. Their reactions alone are enough to solidify what I’m sure Grey suspects.

Luckily he says he’s just talking about Celia and Aaron. We watch them both relax and deflate their anxiety a bit. So happy Grey isn’t talking about them in this moment. He asks them if they’ll go and talk about this with them? Doesn’t want Celina to get off track in her rookie year. That Aaron is just out of long sleeves. They’re both so relieved they just say yes LMAO They would've agreed to anything to get out of his office at that point.

Tim holding the door for her my damn heart. Chivalry isn't dead with that man and I love it. There was a BTS post on how Eric wanted Tim to do that for her. Because well Tim Bradford and all that. It's just who he is. Of course he would hold the door for his girl. This next scene is pure married energy. Tim dreading having to have this conversation with Aaron. The last thing he wants to be doing but doesn't have a choice now that he's agreed HA

Lucy feeling it’s hypocritical if she tells Celina not to. Then realizes she can use Nolan to her advantage LMAO Smart woman being smart. Tim calls her out for cheating haha Or is she just being strategic Timothy? Lucy leaves him in the dust before he can pout any further with her. Tim being the exasperated husband as she walks away from him with her plan in place. Her 'Mmhmm.' as she leaves lol

We rejoin our beautiful couple on the sidelines of a hostage situation. One of the guys from Nyla’s bank robber situation has taken one. They’re all in a standoff waiting to see what they should do. Lucy commenting on the severity of the situation. Trying to make a light joke. Saying 'Remember when dating in secret was their biggest problem?' Love her using ‘Our’ it’s the little things.

Lucy asking him how his talk with Aaron went? Tim bringing up all the things that make their situation ‘problematic.’ To say the least. Yeah it sucks they have to face this stuff. But nothing worth having is ever easy. I love them forging forward despite this. Because as they decided in 5x08. They are worth the risk.

They needed time to figure this out despite the possible complications. So yeah there were potential problems but they were worth the risk of all those. They both knew it. It's why they didn’t bail at the first sign of possible issues. I just love it. It’s what makes 5x12 and the decision Tim makes so prominent and special.

They end up saving the woman who was taken hostage earlier. Unfortunately there is still two more on the run. Tim and Aaron get wind of them and end up in a parking structure. They make it to the top and don’t see them waiting for them. They push them to the very edge and leave them hanging. Literally. This is where Aaron becomes a damn icon. LOL

When Tim tells him to get out of the shop Aaron’s reply is the actual best. We all knew he suspected but this line of his confirms it. Also he’s not wrong…Lucy would kill him for letting Tim die. Kills me Aaron always telling it like it is to Tim. I love him so very much. He’s just saying what everyone is thinking. Being the mouth piece for the fandom once again. Tim doesn’t deny it but tells him to get out of the shop. LMFAO

They make it back to the station and Lucy is of course with Tim. Like a moth to a flame. Telling him she’s glad he didn’t die. Since he owes her for a re-do on their date. Tim being as sassy as can be in his reply. First off could they be any closer in this shot? Second the smirks and flirting are telling everyone in that bullpen what you’re trying so hard to hide you two lol my god. Tim is eating it up her wanting another date and it shows.

She is once again affectionately violent in her reply with Tim. He is all smiles when she says this too. The man is an open book of love for her. He couldn’t be happier with this banter going into their ‘second’ date. Anyone watching them can see something has changed but they're too lost in their own banter to notice that. Damn I love these two goobers so very much I might implode haha

Ahhhhh the Treats of Vietnam scene. I can’t get over how damn close these two are. It’s why that far away shot of them is my avatar. They are as close as two people can be in public sitting across from each other. She is basically sitting between his legs and I’m losing my mind about it everyone. Bouncing her leg against his. Legs for days and I'm ship drunk off this alone tbh. Also want to comment on how much I love the lighting in this scene.

The lights above them set this beautiful relaxed tone I adore so much. Tim making a slight joke thinking it's funny this where they ended up. Going from a super fancy romantic restaurant to a food truck. Saying he guesses this is their official first date. Lucy coming in hot with a curveball of an answer. Blowing his damn mind like only she can. Saying last night was for sure. Better story for the grandkids.

I love her face after she says this. Just gauging his reaction. No regrets whatsoever in saying this. This is the same Lucy Chen who couldn’t handle calling Chris her his GF. Legit panicked about it and fought him on it. Was one giant commitment issue with that boy. Half a date with Tim she’s thinking about grandkids with him. Lucy said she wanted to take it slow in the bedroom. She didn’t say anything about their life plans LOL *squee* She is so all in and this line screams that. Makes my shipper heart so damn happy.

Tim isn’t at all upset about her reply. This man was in a relationship with a woman who didn’t want any of that. Didn’t want any of his dreams. Now here comes Lucy Chen. Talking about grandkids on their second date. His face is pure joy. His dreams coming true with this woman next to him. He is beside himself with happiness. It’s written all over his face. Tim is giddy really. Lucy’s cute giggle afterwards I cannot. Her man making her laugh *heart clutch*

These two are gonna kill me with their cuteness. Give me diabetes from how sweet they are. Lord. Tim having cop eyes can’t help but see the idiot trying to break into a car. Says his frustration out loud. The last thing he wants is another interruption with his girl. Lucy is so lost in her date with Tim she doesn’t even see this guy. Which I love. She is so wrapped up in him her cop eyes are off. Not seeing this guy on her radar at all.

Tim doesn’t even get up from their spot. Just yells at the moron and shows his badge. Not wanting to do more than that. Lucy pointing out he’s just going to steal a car in another neighborhood. Which Tim could care less about tbh. The only thing that matters to him in this moment is her. It’s why this next line is so god damn romantic. We truly see how far Tim has come in this moment.

Why is this growth you ask? Because Tim ‘rules matters’ Bradford is picking his girl in this moment. She is more important than chasing some punk for breaking into a car. To touch back on an OTP line from S2. ‘Some things matter more.’ Lucy matters more in this moment to him. More than anything else and he’s letting her know that. Telling her in his own way she matters more to him.

I’m losing my ever loving mind at how romantic this is. I adore him declaring this and being the one to initiate their first real kiss. Lucy looks so in shock. Wondering if this is real life? Did Tim Bradford just pick her over arresting someone? Over the rules? He sure did and he would do it again. Nothing is going to stand in his way of being with her tonight.

Gah it’s the way he softly touches her hair and gently cups her face with his hand. Looking at her like she is the most precious thing in the world to him. Because she is. Let’s be honest she is. Lucy brought this man back to life in so many ways. There is nothing more important to him especially in this moment than her. Never be over her face when he touches her hair. Like she can't believe Tim is looking at her the way he is.

I adore Lucy smiling into this kiss. I’m sure she can’t believe her own luck right now. The man she loves, loves her right back and chose her in this moment. Over everything else he wanted to stay present in this moment with her. His hand on her face while the other is on her THIGH. Her thigh everyone. His love for her thighs continues on in this first real kiss. It was bouncing earlier against his. I'm sure he put it there partly to ground her during this kiss. Also because we all know he has a penchant for them hehe

I’ll never be over how tender and soft this kiss is. The complete opposite of the two they’ve shared before. Those were hot don’t get me wrong so very hot. But this one has a lovely tenderness to it that makes me giddy. The wind soft picking up her hair as they melt into one another. It’s the perfect first kiss. His hand in her hair, his other on her thigh, Lucy smiling dreamily into their kiss. I am a puddle.

It just shows it was never about the right restaurant or outfit. It was just about being together. This scene showing how at ease these two are with each other. That’s beautiful base of friendship they built over the years coming in clutch here. They just look at home with each other this entire scene. *dreamy sigh* Makes my soul happy.

If you didn't watch this scene million and one times when it premiered you're lying haha Hell I did it this time around. I remember losing my damn mind with this scene. Never be over how easily they went from friends to this. Every moment leading up to this is utter perfection. Beautiful start to something more.

Side notes -Non Chenford

Nolan’s conversation with Celina was so painfully awkward and hilarious I loved her reply to him asking about Aaron she crushed it.

Also Tim is sexy af figuring out how to get that woman out from her car like he did. Mmm love watching that man in the field. Delicious to say the least to watch him in action.

Aaron and Celina playing D & D 😂😂😂 made me laugh so hard. Aaron is SO embarrassed.

I forgot to thank you all last episode. Apologies thank you all who continue to support these reviews. I adore you all more than you will ever know. Your likes, comments and reblog are everything to me. Especially as I tackle these seminal moments in s5. I shall see you all in 5x11 :)

“Y’all got me in a box here…” Y/N said with a blank stare to Bianca and Alexis on a FaceTime call as she sat backstage during a live tv show on Smackdown. “Girl, you can’t be this clueless.” Bianca said as she walked night shopping with her husband Montez. “I’m not trying to! I legit never notice.” She defended. “Y/N. They would ask you to be apart of the Bloodline if it was part of the story, that’s how bad they are for you.” Alexis said as she was in bed, she was on her break since she just got married. They were talking about Roman, The Twins and Solo, all into Y/N. Just doing the most for her, but she never really noticed it.

“Guys imma need some examples because I’m not following-“ Y/N was interrupted by Solo, he waved at her staying quiet and getting her some chips and a water. “Thanks Solo!” And he walked away smiling. “He was right there?!” They asked in unison. “Yea he got me some stuff. I texted him before they got on stage for a promo.” Y/N said. Bianca sighed and Alexia just shook her head. “That was an example. Roman doesn’t let them do shit but focus on the Promo and character. But he just lets solo go and get you snacks?” Alexia stated. Y/N shrugged and opened the bag smiling and eating a ruffle.

“Ok well what about the other day? They stayed with you in medical because you ALMOST, not DID, ALMOST sprained your ankle?” Alexia reminded Y/N. She does remember that, Roman being the most worried and Jey pacing. And Jimmy and solo playing apple games with her to pass the time before her results came in. “I mean they were just worried, being sweethearts.” She shrugged that off too.

“When you got drafted to Smackdown, the welcome basket?” Y/N remembers the Giant Beautiful Basket filled with treats and small trinkets, and a new Apple Watch. “So you aren’t late to rehearsals!” A note signed by all the Bloodline. “Guys again that’s just them being nice.” Y/N looked up seeing Jey. “Oh hey Jey! Solo just came by-“ “Yea yea I know, I wanted to give you this.” He blushed a bit trying to be cool giving her some wristbands. “Ah! Thank you! It’s gonna match my gear tonight!” She giggled happy getting up hugging him, with the phone in her hand still Jey peeped it and looked. “Who you talkin to?” He asked, his voice low and sounding strict. “Oh I’m just talking to Bianca and Alexia!” Y/N smiled not really seeing the flag here. Jey’s face relaxed and smiled nodding and started to walk back to the locker room. “See ya babygirl!” Y/N waved bye and sat back down, the girls shocked.

“Gurl I love you but you are that dumb.” Bianca stated and Montez bumped her. “Hey!” She hissed. Y/N was confused. “I’m telling y’all, guys are always nice to me.” Alexia can agree with that and remembered another one. But before she could say it, Bianca hit her with another time. “Ok, What about Jimmy? And his times wanting to be on ring side when you first came to smackdown?” Y/N remembered Jimmy asked a bunch just so he could watch her up close. “Jimmy just wanted to watch-“ “Yea he can watch on the Tv in the back like everyone else.” Alexia said laughing. “Hey Y/N!”

On Que, Jimmy walked up and kissed Y/N’s forehead. “I forgot your good luck kiss girl! You’re on after like two more matches.” He reminded her. She nodded and waved him bye as he jogged back to the locker room. “Now you know damn well-“ Alexia stopped Bianca. “Y/N you still don’t think they are just liking you too much?” Alexia asked. She just shrugged it off. “Ok…well remember when you said Seth wanted to talk to you and get your number? But after that, the next day he was avoiding you?” Y/N nodded. Alexia sent her a video.

It was Roman backstage having Seth against the wall. He looked pissed and Seth was honest a bit scared, never seeing this side of him before.

“You talk to what’s ours again, and I’ll make sure you break a leg for sure.” He referred back to Seth telling Y/N to break a leg for luck during her match. Seth sighed nodding and was thrown to the side, Jey and Jimmy smirking watching the whole thing and Solo grabbing Roman’s belts for him. The video stopped, but not because of it being short, Roman stopped it. Y/N looked up at a smiling tribal chief. “You’re on after this match Y/N, you wanna chill in the Lounge with me till then?” Y/N blushed some and nodded. Alexia and Bianca rolled their eyes and hung up. Texting her smiling.

“Have fun with them!” Alexia messaged laughing.

“They gonna break you Chile.” Bianca said with laughing tear emojis.

Y/N thought to herself, ok, maybe the possessive is a bit much. But the attention. That she can deal with~

CW heavy topic: juju i'm really upset because a 18+ server i'm in was talkin about kinks last night and they got really nasty about my pregnancy kink 😭 we were just talking about our fave things so i mentioned it (which i dont do otherwise cause i know not everyone is into it) and a few ppl legit called me a ped0 and said that having a pregnancy kink = sexualizing children. it made me feel awful because i've never seen it like that (and i don't obviously) but it really made me feel gross :(

UGH i’m so sorry to hear that, i’m so tired of people treating kinks and sexuality like some kind of contest on who has the “best taste” or who’s the most “fucked up” and things like that. if they think pregnancy kink is some kind of weird degenerate disgusting underground fetish, they’re clearly either new to the internet or too young to be talking about kinks to begin with because like… fertility statues and rituals and such have been around for literal centuries.

someone saying that pregnancy kink is p3d0philic is a take i’ve actually never seen or heard until now so hopefully that says enough in and of itself— what a Chronically Online take to make bc pregnancy kink has… literally nothing to do with the fetus or the child. nobody here is looking at ultrasound pics and going ZAMNNNNN it is 100% about the look and feel of a pregnant body, knowing that your spouse and you are starting a family and showing love for one another, a more innate and primal desire to “claim” your partner via breeding and such, and other ideas like that. people need to stop trying to scramble to find reasons why things they just don’t personally like are ~problematic~ and leave it at “it’s just not for me” instead of trying to justify it with nonsense. just say you don’t like preg and carry on instead of trying to make it the morality olympics. ugh.

please don’t think you’re gross or wrong for liking what you like, pregnancy is hardly a degenerate fetish like it’s literally just. bigger belly and boobs. like take everything else away and 95% of pregnancy kink is just thinking “man my spouse would be hot as fuck with a round tummy.” i fucking love the look of a pregnant body i think it is undoubtably the most erotic and romantic thing in the entire world and i’m glad i can provide a space here with my work for ppl who think similarly. you’re safe here and i’m sorry people put you down over a kink that is literally innocent and inherently extremely normal. pregnancy sex is normal and safe and there are no shortages of articles and help for married couples who still enjoy sex while pregnant, pregnant bodies are not disgusting or “loose” or obscene, ppl need to grow up when it comes to things they don’t like smh

Moaning with a pounding in my head I rolled over in the bed of the hotel room. The other side of the bed shifted where I felt an arm wrapping around my waist groaning too. "I can't believe I listened to you. Tequila is terrible idea lukey!" He buried his face into my shirt mumbling his sentence then starting to fall asleep almost completely ontop of me. "Blame Blake for that...he always wants a drink." I closed my eyes thinking that we would just lay in bed all day until the phone started ringing. Rummaging around on the nightstand I thought I had grabbed my phone but I heard Blake's voice through the phone meaning it was Luke's. "Hey brother, I just got the best idea ever. How about you and your girl prefom on stage with me. Oh and her friend can too if she wants." Flipping back over I accidentally knocked Luke almost out of the bed making him groan loudly. "Urgh Y/n...what the hell!"

"Blake wants us to prefom with him, even Chloe!" I squealed jumping up and down iterating my hangover headache but I couldn't care because this was too insane. "You couldn't just say that in a normal tone baby..." Luke grumbled rubbing his forehead pulling the pillow over his face wanting me to stop squealing his ears out. "Yes I'm killing you right now but this isn't an everyday thing for me!" I climbed ontop of him holding the pillow up so I could see his face. He looked disgruntled but he gives me a kiss hearing Blake still on the phone that I had thrown at the foot of the bed. "He's still on the phone darling." Flipping my back to him I pressed the phone to my ear grinning from ear to ear. "We'd love too. Chloe is gonna flip her lid." Hanging up the phone I squealed feeling arms flip me backwards where Luke nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck. "I'm happy for you...now let's go back to sleep for five hours yeah." Laying my head down I kissed his forehead smiling in my sleep.

Chloe is pacing back and forth in front of me like she might throw up but this time it wasn't because of the baby growing inside of her. "Y/n, this is nuts. You and I are about to - prefom with two country singers." Grabbing her shoulders I sighed hoping to calm her down since I didn't want her to get sick on stage. "Chloe it's gonna be okay. Just imagine it's you and Carter singing in the car and you'll be good." She gulped grabbing the microphone and following me to where we were told to wait. "Well the boys 'round here don't listen to The Beatles. Run ole Bocephus through a jukebox needle. At a honky-tonk, where their boots stomp. All night; what? That's right." Luke walked out onto the stage joining his friend making the crowd cheer even louder. "Yea, and what they call work, digging in the dirt. Gotta get it in the ground 'fore the rain come down. To get paid, to get the girl. In your 4 wheel drive (A country boy can survive."

"Yea the boys 'round hereDrinking that ice cold beer. Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout Trucks. Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kicking up dust. The boys 'round here. Sending up a prayer to the man upstairs. Backwoods legit, don't take no shot. Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit. Aw heck. Red red red red red red redneck." Both boys turned to each singing together before I intertwined my hand with my best friends. "Well the boys 'round here, they're keeping it country. Ain't a damn one know how to do the dougie." Luke pointed to his friend asking. "You don't do the dougie?" Blake shook his head singing solo. "No, not in Kentucky. But these girls 'round here yep, they still love me." Squeezing my friends hand Chloe and I confidently started dancing out onto the stage me singing solo first. "Yea, the girls 'round here, they all deserve a whistle. Shakin' that sugar, sweet as Dixie crystal." She smiled squeezing my hand following after. "They like that y'all and southern drawl. And just can't help it cause they just keep fallin'."

Luke holds his hand out for me pulling me away from Chloe so Blake throws his arm over her shoulder watching the two of us. "Hey now girl, hop inside. Me and you gonna take a little ride to the river. Let's ride (That's right). Lay a blanket on the ground. Kissing and the crickets is the only sound. We out of town. Have you ever got down with a...Red red red red red red redneck? And do you wanna get down with a...Red red red red red red redneck?" Luke leaned down like he was gonna kiss me then pointed in my best friends direction announcing to the stadium. "My fiancée best friend Chloe Blake ladies and gentlemen!" Blake spins Chloe around the stage singing to her. "Girl you gotta get down. With the boys 'round here. Drinking that ice cold beer. Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout trucks. Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kicking up dust." She blushed raising the microphone up to her mouth singing back to him. "The boys 'round here. Sending up a prayer to the man upstairs. Backwoods legit, don't take no shot. Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit."

"Red red red red red red Redneck. (Ooh let's ride). I'm one of them boys 'round here. (Ooh let's ride). Red red red red red red redneck. (Ooh let's ride)." Chloe and I sang let's ride until the four of us all joined together for the big finish of the song. "Well all I'm thinkin' 'bout is you and me, how we'll be. So come on girl, hop inside. Me and you, we're gonna take a little ride. Lay a blanket on the ground. Kissing and the crickets is the only sound. We out of town. Girl you gotta get down with a...Come on through the country side. Down to the river side." Chloe throws her head in relief getting spun around a few times by Blake. Jumping instantly into Luke's arms he holds me up by legs capturing his lips with mine as the crowd roared with applause. Once we're back stage Carter came up with my phone saying it had been blowing up the whole time. "What is it honey?" Luke asked wrapping his arms around me from behind. Opening the newest email it was from the publisher about my book. "It's about my book, Luke. Oh god..."

Cliffhanger....what should the email say??

Comments really appreciated ❤️

[littlesmartart]

Now I’m curious, what songs do you aggressively assign to xiyao and 3zun? (Only somewhat related, have you ever heard the song “Heart of Stone” from the SIX soundtrack? Excluding one line (without my son your love would disappear), I feel very passionately that it is a Yanli talking about Zixuan song.)

under a cut because this got RIDICULOUSLY long haha

okay okay so XIYAO... first of all, let's get this tragic shit over and done with -

Burn from Hamilton (I drew a comic here)

Sympathy by Kyla La Grange is a guilty JGY reflecting on their relationship (A lead weight for your open palm / And a white shirt over your bloody heart / To think I thought I was all you are / I was missing from the start / Couldn't let you cradle my head or stay / Let you waste your wonderful words / In my sleep I circled your heart with red ink / When I woke you were already hurt)

Broken by Jake Bugg is Xichen towards the end of canon (For you have become / All I lost and all I hoped for / But I must carry on / Always one, never broken / Run to the lobby where I saw you try / Don't give a damn for your reasons why)

Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want, specifically the Muse cover because of how jarring and discordant it is, is JGY having his breakdown in the temple and cry-yelling at Xichen (Haven't had a dream in a long time / See, the life I've had / Can make a good man bad / So for once in my life / Let me get what I want / Lord knows, it would be the first time)

Mr Blue by Catherine Feeney being JGY at the end of canon because colour symbolism (Mr. Blue / I told you that I love you / Please believe me / Mr. Blue / I have to go now, darling / Don't be angry / I know that you're tired / Know that you're sore and sick and sad for some reason / So I leave you with a smile / Kiss you on the cheek / And you will call it treason)

aaaand then for some happy stuff because you know in any universe they'd be the soppiest most heart-eyes chin-hands motherfuckers at each other. I think that really you could apply a lot of [dreamy sigh] [lovesick smile] [deep yearning] ballads to them tbh?

Somethin' Stupid, and I'm going to recommend the Robbie version because that's the one I have and I legit like it so shut up. I think this would be mostly how everyone outside sees them - as two people who are being so weirdly anxious whilst also desperately embarrassingly and obviously mutually pining 🙄 (I know I'd stand in line / Until you think you have the time / To spend an evening with me / And if we go someplace to dance / I know that there's a chance / You won't be leaving with me / Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place / And have a drink or two / And then I go and spoil it all / By saying something stupid / Like I love you)

My Guy by Kele Okereke because it's just!!! so soppy and romantic and this cover was made specifically for an album of queer wedding songs called "Universal Love"!! (I've got sunshine on a cloudy day / When it's cold outside / I've got the month of May / Well I guess you'd say / What can make me feel this way? / My guy / I'm talkin' 'bout my guy)

Atlas: Two by Sleeping At Last - I found this song through a gorgeous Wangxian video but I think it works really really well for Xiyao too, because they also have that mutual Let Me Take Care Of You Forever Please love language (I know exactly how the rule goes / Put my mask on first / No, I don't want to talk about myself / Tell me where it hurts / I just want to build you up, build you up / 'Til you're good as new / And maybe one day, I'll get around / To fixing myself, too)

Yellow by Coldplay because that colour symbolism!! Xichen @ JGY (And your skin / Oh yeah, your skin and bones / Turn in to something beautiful / Do you know / For you, I'd bleed myself dry / For you, I'd bleed myself dry)

3zun is a little more complicated but I do have some!

Up In Flames by Coldplay with that sense of slow inevitable destruction (So it's over / This time you're flying on / This time I know no song / Can stop, its slowly burn / Can stop, it's slowly gone / Up in flames / Up in flames / Up in flames / We have slowly gone)

Safety Of Distance by Lior - this one is specifically about NieYao reconciling and 3zun coming back together, be that in a happier AU or in a fierce corpse AU post-canon (And all the colours will return to these hills / Where the dust of despair takes hold / One day they will drink from these now still waters / Where there's a will there's a road / It won't bring back lovers and friends, / But it might make for a happier end)

Coming Down by Halsey (I drew a comic here)

Gone Gone Gone by Phillip Phillips and this one is perhaps more Xichen @ NieYao than 3zun mutually, although in an AU where they've reconciled it work (When you fall like a statue / I'm gon' be there to catch you / Put you on your feet, you on your feet / And if your well is empty / Not a thing will prevent me / Tell me what you need / What do you need? / I surrender honestly / You've always done the same for me / So, I would do it for you, for you / Baby, I'm not movin' on / I'll love you long after you're gone)

Keep Moving by The Boxer Rebellion - a general sense of inevitability but clinging to each other in the time they have (One by one / I know we have seen some things / That could have torn us apart / Threaten what we have been / And I have asked myself / What could be more then this / And if you left me tomorrow / It is all I know I'd miss / But I know... / Keep moving with me now / Keep moving with me now / We have seen / The way its gonna be / The way its gonna be)

HEY AGAIN BESTIE FAVE BERNTHAL GIFFER LADY i was wondering if u have or know of any gifs of that scene in the punisher s1 where Frank was helping micro's wife, Sarah, and Leo fix the sink?? Thank u in advance!! <3 we love a man at work!! aka plumber kink!!

[PT2 CONT] alright... follow up from my last ask... hope this aint creepy but i was hunting thru ur gifs to try to find it on my own AND I SAW THESE TAGS ON YOUR GREEN SHIRT APPRECIATION GIF FROM 600 YEARS AGO TALKIN BOUT NEEDING A FIC WHERE MICRO'S DEAD DEAD AND FRANK'S THE NICE NEIGHBOUR NEXT DOOR and i just... pls write it i beg of you

I’m a lazy person and sometimes it’s easier to make fresh gifs than dig for old ones that are buried deep so I just posted some right here if you’re still looking. If not that’s cool too, no worries. It wouldn’t let me tag you in the actual post though cuz Tumblr is being a turd.

NOW THE SECOND PART. Listen! 😈 I’ve considered and thought about a fic like that on and off for years, since the first season released.  An alternate universe where Micro is legit dead and perhaps Frank isn’t The Punisher but just a sad, lonely, fucked-up man that still lost his family. He moves in next door to the Liebermans where he and Sarah eventually learn to rely on each other. First he just does small jobs around her house to help her out, it helps him too—fixing the sink, changing out a headlight, reconnecting the wifi. It’s really no surprise when he starts helping Sarah with the bigger issues, issues that the kids are having, it’s just a natural progression for people who begin to become so intertwined in each other’s lives.

Of course, at first Sarah objected to his offers. But eventually she finds herself seeking out his assistance when necessary, even looking forward to the adult conversation that his visits bring. She wants to repay him somehow and begins bringing him meals, especially after seeing that his kitchen was really just stocked with canned beans and that’s no way for anyone to thrive. That leads to dinner invites, she can’t help herself, she craves more of their time together and honestly, the kids enjoy having extra attention aimed in their direction because being a single mom means sometimes she’s just too tired at the end of the day and who can blame her? Not Frank. Because even though he lost his children, he still comprehends how very hard parenthood can be at times.

His presence at the dinner table brings some much needed levity for everyone involved. One night, Frank tells Sarah to sit down and relax, he takes over the ingredients she’d already prepped as she has a few glasses of wine, watching him move about her kitchen like he’s comfortable there and she supposes he is now and that information doesn’t bother her anymore—that this dark and beautiful man with skilled fingers and strong arms has eased into their lives seamlessly. Sarah questions his sudden abilities in the kitchen and he assures her he’s always known how to cook, he just hadn’t had a reason to do it in a long time.

The next morning the kids wake up and find that Frank is already there or did he ever leave? Because his hair is wet, freshly showered, yet he’s wearing the same clothes as last night when he’d been putting the clean dishes away as their mother had seen them off to sleep. They’d always thought another man being in the house would upset them, make them ache for their father, but truthfully they’d gotten attached to Frank long before he was standing in front of them asking if they preferred pancakes or waffles.

(throwaway because i'm shy) it's so disheartening to see all the blogs that i used to trust a lot just... ignore the blatantly obvious crypt0f4sh in the fandom or just dismiss it as "random discourse", because it's not just random discourse, hell, even going by the notes of that one post you can see how blatantly obvious it is that they're mutuals with proud racists. i don't understand why people are suddenly are given sympathy like "think of the anons that could be sent to that person!" like, they want me dead! why would i care about them! there's no "both sides" to this argument, and i'm not "lacking in critical thinking" for being afraid to be myself in the fandom and seeing the obvious f4sh for what they are. it just... sucks man. it sucks so much. i'm sorry to vent in your inbox, but you're the only one out of a few of my followed blogs that was outward about this sorta stuff without being super dismissive and feeling like they were siding with the racists or staying quiet because they agreed. i think i'm just paranoid, but i don't know, at this point the silence is really alarming to me...

Hiya friend. I hope you don’t mind me posting this publicly, but it’s legit because I feel the exact same fuckin way hhh. Hell, I’m sorry I was the only fuckin one you were following saying shit about all this. I do get where maybe folks are uncomfortable about reblogging callout posts n shit but like you said, just leads to this paranoia. And frankly there should be a difference in response between “Hey this callout is literally just fictional content” vs “HEY THIS CALLOUT IS VERY REAL AND REFLECTIVE OF WHAT THEY BELIEVE” which I think that first is what turns folks off from callouts in general but. Still gotta take the real, legitimate ones seriously yea?????

Hell, ya wanna know something? When I first made my edited pinned and mentioned there was a fash trying to lay low in the fandom and to message me so I can let folks know? Know how many messages I got? Fuckin two. Only two whole people cared enough about a cryptofash to actually reach out. Bless those two folks, but genuinely the fact that I only got two fuckin messages was disheartening as all fuck. Hell I think that’s why I reblogged the callout in the end, usually they make me really uncomfortable, but if people weren’t willing to put in the work privately, might as well shove it in their fuckin faces.

I’ve been very angry and upset about all this. I’ve long since blocked the fash and their open supporters, but knowing they probably have people in the fandom just quietly supporting them and their defenders… hell I haven’t lost a lotta followers, but there hasn’t been a net gain on my end!! Which again just. God fucking damnit.

That to say, considering I’ve been pretty active in legion spaces… idk where people are with all of this. Maybe 2 or 3 people, but besides that, nothing. So, while I’ll probably be posting art still, think I won’t be as super active over here regarding legion content. Just cus, like you said, fuckin paranoia baby. So if the posts are slowing down, well now ya know. I literally do not know if yall care enough about me and other marginalized people to feel safe sharing yalls shit.

And again friend, I’m really sorry this has been so fucking disheartening. I completely get it, I wish it wasn’t. I’m not great at bein a comfort or talkin to folks, but I hope you know that it’s not just me n you, there are other people who give a shit, and none of us are “lacking in critical thinking.” God I could go on another tangent about that - BUT been kinda dragged on so. Fuck fashys and bigots forever, and if no one else bothers to say it, I love you as you are. And I hope one day we don’t gotta worry about this kinda shit in what should be spaces where we should feel safe.

Hello! Can I have 3, 14, and 18 for the fic asks please, my love💓💓💓

Hi @anisaanisa! Thanks for including me in the Ask game! And also thanks to Anon who also asked for #14, so I figured why post the same answer twice?

So silly me didn't automatically realize the Ask thing was only supposed to be about this last year when I RB'd it. If anyone can explain this whole "linear time" thing, so I can figure out what I did only within the last year, please let me know! LOL, I kid. (I do not kid.)

Okay so #3: favorite line/scene I wrote this year

This one's actually easy! Because even though I don't think I've posted anything in a year, I've been working on WIPs like mad, and I very recently I started a witchy WIP that just plopped itself into my brain out of nowhere. It has no title yet, and I've no bloody clue when it'll actually be finished, but the opening scene just tickles me to death and so for right now this is definitely my favorite recently written scene:

Kagome coughed and waved her hand in front of her face as the smoke cleared. Had she done it? Had she really summoned a familiar demon? The binding rosary she’d made had lit up and flown into the smoke, so it had to have worked, right?

But as the smoke continued to clear, a figure standing within the pentagram she’d drawn on her vinyl floor began to take shape, and it was not the figure of a loyal canine demon on all fours. It was the figure of a man. A man with long, gorgeous silver-white hair and...dog ears on his head? His eyes were golden and glanced around the room in shock and confusion before settling on her, the stunned expression on his face and her binding rosary the only things he wore.

“What the fuck?” he questioned loudly, sounding much more surprised than angry. “You actually summoned me?!”

“I...no!” Kagome shrieked. “Yes?” How had this happened?

“Gah!” he cried out then in belated realization. “Why am I naked?!”

“I don’t know!” She really didn’t. “Maybe clothes can’t come through the portal?”

“That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever- Quit staring and get me something to wear!” he demanded.

Kagome ‘eep’ed and turned quickly in her small living room, nearly falling over the cream upholstered couch she’d pulled up against the hallway entrance to make room for the summoning circle. She climbed awkwardly over the old, worn out piece of furniture and dashed down the short hall to her bedroom on the left.

Inuyasha rubbed his right palm down over his face in exasperation at the sight, chuckling a little despite himself. What even was his life?

dun Dun DUN...but nowhere near done.

Moving on! #14: a fic I didn't expect to write

Well I guess we could still count that one, LOL, since I had NOT ever expected I'd start a witch themed AU, and yet here we are. But bending the rules to go beyond just this year, since if we're talking completed and posted fics I'm going to have to, then for a more recent fic I did not expect to write I'm definitely going to have to go with In the Blink of an Eye from just last year. It was supposed to just be a shortie and part of my Splendent Shorties collection, but to say it got away from me would be an understatement. Over 10k words does not a shortie make, LOL. So in that way it was definitely unexpected!

Last but not least (not by a long shot) #18: current number of WIPs

Hold on, let me get an abacus, LOL.

Okay but seriously though, and I'm only counting actual WIPs that have like, legit story text written in them, and not just a keyboard smash of synopses and plot outlines. We're talkin' unfinished stories that are partly written as actual stories... 16. But that number actually doesn't include things that were WIPs like 10-15 years ago and so I know they're so horrible now that I could never just pick up where I left off and even if I salvage the idea itself it basically has to be started over from scratch, LOL.

You do not want to know how many separate "keyboard smash of synopses" files I have.

“Maggie Q and Michael Keaton Are Hot for Each Other in 'The Protégé' and I Think That's Nice.”

Via Collider:

Here are some of the big action movies that have come out in 2021 thus far: Zack Snyder's Justice League, Nobody, Mortal Kombat, F9, Black Widow, The Suicide Squad, and now, The Protégé. These films pack literal punches, depict explosive carnage, and use all kinds of visually domineering tricks to raise our adrenaline levels. But do they make any kind of lasting impression as we walk away? In a landscape full of loudness, of mayhem, of bald-faced attention-seeking, how can you truly stick out from the crowd?

The Protégé, a mid-budget, original action-thriller, finds an invigorating answer, one that surprised me the moment it began to rear itself in the film, before realizing just how fundamental it is to the human condition.    

It is, of course, being horny.

Some of the films listed do involve romance. Nobody tracks Bob Odenkirk's reignited masculinity with his reignited permission to touch estranged wife Connie Nielsen. F9 features Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez doing some smoochin'. The Snyder Cut shows The Flash expressing attraction by, um, plucking a hot dog out of mid-air so his crush doesn't get hit by it (hey, everyone's got their love language). But none of these films' depictions of desire come close to the bluntness, the obviousness, nor the intrigue of what you get in The Protégé, ultimately making these other films' moments feel shoehorned, noncommittal, frustratingly symbolic rather than thrillingly alive

In The Protégé, when rich criminal mastermind Michael Keaton walks into extraordinary assassin Maggie Q's rare book store (her legit business to hide all the assassin-ing), he straight up comes onto her. For someone (like me) who walked into this film ready to watch Q and Keaton be violently adversarial to each other, this was a wild surprise from the jump. The film, even in all its old-school sturdiness, is immediately, subversively breaking down our expectations of what actioners "need" to tell us about their protagonists and antagonists. I expected Q to quip and deflect her way out of this direct proposition; a kind of MCU-esque rhythm of self-aware screwball comedy without that genre's understanding that banter often equals flirtation. Q banters back, alright. But she absolutely says "yes" to Keaton's proposition, immediately establishing herself as a complicated, human hero who's into this fun rich guy talkin' suave, and wants to talk suave herself. And, frankly, wants to get laid! In a contemporary action filmscape where even James Bond is moody and unconcerned with the joys of sexuality, this frank portrayal of "two adults who are into each other from moment one" feels like a breath of fresh air, a patient-but-forward promise that this film will treat you with intelligence, will delve into every aspect of humanity among its obligatory moments of carnage.

When these moments of carnage ramp up (shot, cut, and performed with hunger and vitality, it must be said), and Q realizes the depths of Keaton's evil, their mutual attraction does not stop. In fact, I'd say it heightens. One dinner table tête-à-tête, in which both characters are pointing guns at each other under the tablecloth, features Q matter-of-factly stating such a bluntly sexual line that I nearly gasped; that I feel like I'd be breaking a rule to even print here (it involves a slang term, and I've already said too much). Later, as they're fighting the hell out of each other (while constantly landing in suggestively straddling positions), Keaton retorts with a bluntly sexual question that I will risk printing: "You have to decide. Kill me or fuck me."

Guess which one Q chooses? It's the second one! And her joie-de-vivre-enhanced running into horniness doesn't inhibit their action-oriented conflict, nor the deeper interior traumas her character must reckon with. It enriches them, deepens them, elevates the character from a stock symbol of nonsensical fun to a genuine "take" on being alive (while also being, I cannot stress enough, very, very fun).

As The Protégé runs toward its status-shifting climax, this inherent and explored attraction begins to fold in on itself, to crumble under the pressures and realities of their high-stakes lives. It provides such interesting, gripping, welcomely compelling drama, giving their final showdown a sense of melancholic regret among the obvious external conflict between them; a subtext that screams silently, yearns sweatily, aches with the kind of sadness that comes when you're really, really horny for someone. To get all of this verve, this spectrum of emotionality in what's being sold as a fun action flick about punching and shooting people is such a testament to what storytellers can find if they give their genre works even a little more variety of tonality. The Protégé is a welcome, present-tense reminder of the import of theatrical mid-budget pictures, of orienting works toward, not away from, grown-up matters like "lust" and "regret."

[demetriandelibinaryboyfriends]

"Remember when you told me that Demetri was always going to be your only friend?"

Her tone was sharp and Eli felt obliged to avoid her gaze, staring at his hands instead.

"I do."

"Yeah well, Demetri's mother called me to tell that someone broke his arm and she doesn't know who did it."

His silence was almost as loud as a scream.

"I know who did it. I didn't know the reason though, but then I saw those Cobra Kai kids with you outside and I put it together. You have a bunch of new friends now, don't you?"

Eli glanced at his mother and regretted it instantly, she almost looked as if she was talking to a stranger. Like she didn't knew him.

"Well, Demetri isn't your only friend now, is he?"

No.

"Was it worth it?"

No.

God, no.

Hey wow look never in my life have 142 words CRUSHED MY SOUL FASTER

This drabble punched me in the gut, grabbed my wallet, looked through it, snatched all my $20s, and then ran away mercilessly.

Legit though, it never sat quite right with me when Eli was venting to his mom in that one flashback and he just wails out “I’M NEVER GONNA HAVE ANY FRIENDS BESIDES DEMETRI!” like it’s some like...goddamn death sentence or something. Like yeah, Demetri is far from the perfect best/only friend, and he can certainly be an insensitive ass at times, but like...yo, the boy is LOYAL AF, he’s stuck with your ass and been your best friend through YEARS of bullying and tried to protect you from getting hurt, in his own little way (even if some of his efforts are kinda misguided, as they basically boil down to “just avoid engaging bullies if at all possible” and “don’t try any new activity (i.e. karate) that could cause even slight pain or discomfort and rock the boat” lol) and tried to make you laugh with dumb jokes about you being the homecoming king when NO ONE ELSE would bother, and you clearly just DON’T appreciate him??? Like the way Eli’s like “I’m never gonna have friends...besides Demetri, obviously” just reads like he’s absolutely just taking Demetri for granted and it PISSES ME OFF. Then again, I think it might just strike a nerve with me in particular, since I remember all too well being a ragingly insecure, introverted child watching my friends make other friends besides me and just being so confused and hurt, like “...am I not good enough for you?” Of course, now that I’m older I see that it’s valid to want more friends while keeping the ones you have, obviously, and I don’t think Eli was inherently wrong for wanting to expand his social circle or anything, but the way he’s just...so dismissive of Demetri’s friendship and instead focuses on crying about all the cool friends he doesn’t have just PEEVES me to no end. Like ffs, some of the kids at that school who get bullied probably have NO friends and have to tough it out alone, so maybe be like...a little more appreciative of the fact that you have a BEST FRIEND who clearly cares about you??? Again, it’s valid for Eli to want more friends--I imagine you’d get tired of only having one person your age to really talk to--but the fact that he kinda phrases this in a way that makes it sound like Demetri and their friendship is dismissable and trivial and not all that important to him has always bugged me a lot. I mean, Eli obviously DOES care about Demetri and Demetri’s opinions of him, as we see several times in the show, but like...hearing him say “I’m never gonna have any other friends besides Demetri” still makes me wince every time. STOP TALKIN BOUT MY BOY LIKE HE DOESN’T MATTER 

Yeah yeah yeah I KNOW I’m reading way too much into a simple comment okay but this statement has implications and I DO NOT like them

“Someone broke his arm and she doesn't know who did it." Oh yeah, Demetri absolutely did not tell his mom Eli broke his arm. Given how smothering and overprotective she seems (I mean, she gave him a note to take to a KARATE CLASS excusing him from EXTENSIVE ARM AND LEG MOVEMENT even though that’s ALL KARATE IS), she’d probably NEVER let Eli near him again if she knew--hell, she might even get a restraining order or make Demetri transfer schools or something. And Demetri definitely doesn’t think that’s her decision to make--and he ain’t about to give up on Good Old Eli just yet, even after everything that’s happened. Perhaps against his better judgement, he still has hope for his old friend. He just tells his mom his arm got broken by one of the newer Cobra Kai recruits, some burly thug guy he’d never seen before. He didn’t get a good look at the guy, naturally, since he was pinning his face to the ground and fled the scene almost immediately after the arm-snapping.

And oh my god how I WISH we’d gotten a scene in Season 3 where Eli’s mom just brutally calls him out like this, because god knows he needed it and it could’ve been THE wake-up call (or at least one of a few big wake-up calls) that shit...he’s getting farther away from the person he’s always been than he ever has before, and maybe...maybe it’s not a good thing after all. Maybe it’s not a good thing if his own mother barely recognizes him, if his own mother is maybe even a little scared/wary of him and what he’s become. I mean I get there was a lot going on in Season 3, and there probably wouldn’t have really been room to bring back a character as minor as Eli’s mom, but I would have loved to see her reaction to all the shit he was pulling throughout the season. She highkey seems like a helicopter parent if she’s willing to call the school over Eli being bullied, so there’s no way she was just suddenly completely disinterested in everything he was doing after school and that she didn’t at least suspect there was some sketchy shit going on. (I mean...the boy presumably came home with a MOTORCYCLE one day??? Isn’t she gonna wonder where on earth he got that??? Y’all don’t expect me to believe SHE got it for him, do you???)

Also, Demetri and Eli’s moms are absolutely friends!!! Speaking as someone who had the same group of childhood friends for like 12 years, your moms can’t NOT be friends when they’re forced to see each other that often XD It’s kinda depressing to think how much it must have hurt their moms too when they started fighting, since these women would presumably have been good friends for years at that point and now have to watch their sons, who used to be best friends, just constantly be at each other’s throats :( I love how quickly Eli’s mom puts two and two together and figures out Eli broke Demetri’s arm. Eli can’t hide SHIT from his mama haha

Also wow it’s so fucked and depressing to think that maybe, in the heat of the moment, Eli broke Demetri’s arm to LITERALLY shatter the notion of Demetri being his only friend and try to DESTROY that time completely with that arm break so he could fully embrace his new, “improved” identity as the “cool badass” with lots of awesome and formidable friends who were obviously far superior and much better for his image and his intimidation factor than nerdy little Demetri...ouch.

"Was it worth it?"

No.

God, no.

JESUS I’M SOBBING

AS SOON AS ELI HEARD THAT BONE SNAP AND SAW DEMETRI CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR CRYING HE REGRETTED ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING I AM HERE TO TELL YOU

IT WAS A BAD DAY FOR EVERYONE AND I AM GOING TO MURDER JOHN KREESE WITH MY BARE HANDS FOR SLOWLY MINDFUCKING MY BOY ELI MOSKOWITZ INTO THINKING BREAKING HIS CRUSH’S ARM WAS THE MOVE

[ask-rwby-multishipper]

Everyone must participate in a competition (up to you what that might be) and the two people who come in last place must get legally married!

Yang: Pffff what???

Weiss: So, literally get married. Courthouse, marriage license, everything?

Blake: Seems like it.

Yang: So this is legit? Whatever this competition will be ends with two of us getting married?

Nora: But what should the competition actually be?

Everyone: ...

Ruby: Art contest!

Yang: Art contest?

Ruby: Yeah! And we could get the boys to judge.

Blake: That might actually be fun.

Yang: Of course you’d say that, I’ve seen your sketchbook.

Blake, shrugging: Guess I’m not getting married then.

Pyrrha: How long do we have to create our pieces?

Ruby: Until this time tomorrow I guess? *stands up and poses dramatically* You have 24 hours to create your masterpieces! Go!

Everyone: *stays in place*

Nora: I have no idea what to do.

Ruby, still posing: Just...think of something, this is getting awkward.

May, glancing at Fiona: Uhh.

Fiona: Indeed.

The next day, in the Beacon courtyard with everyone’s art pieces on display...

Jaune: Okay, fellow judges, how are we going to figure out who wins this?

Mercury: Just...write down your own rankings from worst to best and then we’ll compare?

Sun: How long is this going to take?

Neptune: What, do you have somewhere to be?

Sun: It’s the weekend, I want to do weekend things.

Neptune: Like sit around and do nothing.

Sun: Yes!

Neptune: That’s what you always do.

Ren: Does anyone know what this competition actually entails?

Jaune: Ruby said it was a secret. Maybe the winner gets a date with whoever they choose?

Ren: Something tells me it’s worse than that.

May: *taps Jaune’s shoulder*

Jaune: Hm? Oh, hi, uhh...

May: May.

Jaune: Right.

Sun: What’s up?

May: Okay, so, you guys are judging this art competition, right?

Jaune: Yeah?

May: Could you give me and Fiona a break here? Neither of us have a single artistic bone in our body.

Fiona, nodding: We tried. Really tried. But...it’s not pretty.

Sun: Wait, so hold up, you’re asking us to skew the results to your advantage? Not cool.

Fiona: C’mon, just a little bit? Just to, like, keep us out of last place?

Ren: What’s the concern about last place?

May: If you come in last place, you have to—

Ruby, appearing next to them: Heyyyyy guys, we’re almost ready to start! *looks toward May and Fiona* What are you two doing? *points at them* Talkin’ up the judges, hmm? Trying to get an unfair advantage?

Fiona, blushing: Uhhh no? Just...meeting new people!

Ruby: I’ve got my eye on you two. *chuckles* I’m just joking. Ready, boys?

Jaune: I think so. Though we do have a question: What does the winner of this competition even get?

Ruby, looking to the side: Uhh...they get an immunity for a future truth or dare.

Jaune: Oh. Okay, makes sense.

Mercury, snickering: You sure the prize isn’t a date with Jaune?

Jaune: What??

Neptune, laughing: Pretty sure that’s for whoever comes in last place.

Jaune: What????

Fiona, murmuring to May: Oh gods, that would be even worse...

Sun: You’re not allowed to put Pyrrha in last place, Jaune.

Jaune: A date with me isn’t an actual consolation prize! Like half of them are lesbians anyway, quit being weirdos! *crosses his arms and pouts*

Ren: I’ll go on a date with you, Jaune.

Jaune, grinning: Aww, really??

Ruby, snapping her fingers: Snap out of it, you’ve got art to judge. *waving for them to follow her* Look at mine first!

Timeskip timeskip wheeee....

Ren, holding a clipboard: Okay, we’ve put together a final ranking of everyone’s pieces into tiers, because Sun says tier lists are fun.

Sun: They are!

Ren: Sooooo S-tier, the winner is Blake’s drawing of their team. Very detailed, lovely colors, all-around beautiful.

Yang: Wooo go Blake!

Ruby, hugging Blake: I knew it!

Blake, bowing: Thank you thank you.

Ren: Next, A-tier, Ruby’s painting of Zwei, Penny’s glass sculpture of a bird, Yang’s spray paint mural tribute to her bike, and Nora’s wood burning drawing of a thunderstorm.

Nora, high-fiving Yang: Nice!

Penny, hugging Ruby: Yay!

Ren: B-tier, Pyrrha’s origami swan made of metal, Ciel’s photo collage of sunsets, Ilia’s watercolor painting, and Elm’s wood carving of an Ursa.

Elm, pouting: Aww...and I broke out my good chainsaw for this.

Ilia: Wait. Your what?

Elm, chuckling: Just kidding, I just have the one.

Nora: Wait, Pyrrha only got B-tier? *points at her metal origami swan* But that’s so good though?!

Ren, shrugging: To be fair, with her semblance, she can fold metal as easily as anyone can fold paper, so...it’s a paper swan on steroids, as Mercury put it.

Nora: Hmph...

Jaune, whispering to Pyrrha: I tried to vouch for you, I really did.

Pyrrha, turning to him, grinning: Are you kidding? This is the first time in a long time that I lost at something. I feel liberated!

Jaune: Wow, really? Well, awesome!

Ren: C-tier, Neon’s glowstick sculpture, Harriet’s digital drawing of a rabbit, and Cinder, Emerald, and Neo’s...“dress”?

Emerald: It started as a dress, but then it kinda became overalls, and then a dress again, and then...I don’t know.

Cinder: It has fire dust infused with it, so there’s that.

Neo, wearing said monstrosity: I want to change.

Ren: D-tier, Weiss’ melted ice sculpture. We gave her the benefit of the doubt that it was as magnificent as she described.

Weiss: It was! It’s just...sunny outside...

Ren: However, bottom tier, May and Fiona for their...paper mache...pyramids?

May, sighing: It was supposed to be a model of Beacon.

Yang, chuckling: So, when’s the wedding?

Fiona, blushing, deliberately avoiding eye contact with May: Uhhh we can’t get married, though! We’re legal residents of Atlas, so we can’t get married in Vale, oh well!

Blake: But marriages are recognized everywhere no matter where they’re performed.

Fiona: But...we can’t tho.

May, sighing and putting a hand on Fiona’s shoulder: There’s nothing we can do, fiancée.

Fiona: Wait, you’re cool with this?

May, shrugging: I mean, we could get an annulment immediately after.

Fiona, sighing: Okay, I guess you’re right.

Ruby, throwing rose petals over them both: 🎵 May and Fiona sitting in a tree, M-A-R-I-A-G-E~ 🎵

May: When is this actually happening?

Yang: Uhh, today? Go get married!

May: Sure, let’s elope.

Fiona: How are you so unbothered?!

Later, outside a courthouse...

Fiona: Well, we’re legally married now.

May: Should we call Robyn and Joanna and tell them the good news?

Fiona, sweating: I think it would be totally fine if we didn’t mention it to them.

May: Whatever you say, wife.

Fiona: Don’t call me that!

May: But you are my wife, legally speaking.

Fiona: Stahhhp!

May: Why??

Fiona, blushing: You know...gay thoughts...

May: What, the thought of being married to me is embarrassing?

Fiona: No! It’s just...I dunno...

May, turning and kissing her forehead: Chill out, Fiona, it’ll be just fine.

Fiona, blushing even more: Ohhh...

May, smirking at her: What?

Fiona: Nothing! Uhh...wanna get that annulment taken care of?

May: Eh, I’m sick of paperwork at this point. Let’s do it tomorrow.

[florianwirtz]

The list is done!!! My judgement of my mutual’s taste in footballers. Here you can find the graphic version with my mutuals as their tumblr icons. If you’re my mutual and you’re not on the list, it’s not because I don’t like you, it’s more because I don’t know who you all fancy.

Under the cut you can find the explanation of my placements!! Pardon for the format, I did it on the phone and somehow screwed the average tier up but it ain’t that important cause no one placed there lmao. Lastly, I wanna clarify that all of this is just for fun, stop taking me or tumblr so seriously lmao.

Shit tier

@theweatha I don’t even know where to start with you. I will never process that you would do Sergio Ramos (maybe I can accept it at some point but not rn). Then we come to the other asshole named Roy Keane, while being a brilliant midfielder for us I will never understand why you would give him a 2nd look if we’re talkin about appearance and let’s not start talking about his character (although he’s a mood whenever he’s pissed for the right reasons). I don’t feel like starting with Nemanja Vidić as I have the feeling we will never come to an agreement. Not even Marcus Rashford can save you from shit tier, who is a very valid reason to nut to. I also didn’t forget you nutting to Trench (idc that you don’t anymore you still did and what a disgrace)

@emwritesfootball just no... every time you start talkin about why you fancy Cags, my opinion about your taste in men gets worse. Then I think about the other footballers you fancy and it doesn’t get any better, although Winksy is a valid one... he still doesn’t get you out of shit tier. But from someone who tries to me set me up with HARVEY BARNES I don’t expect any better tbh...

Very bad tier

@tottenhamsstuff i am sorry but how tf do you expect me to place you any higher when your crushes in footballers consists of an egghead, blonde Ron Weasley and the tiger from Ice Age? What saves you from shit tier is Gazzaniga who objectively is a handsome man and the fact that I’m biased because Scott plays for my team and your men at least seem to have a bit of a brain.

@shockintha you know I thought about this very carefully and realised that I can’t afford to make you cry and shit tier wouldn’t be fair to you because you do fancy some valid ones just as Brooksy and Sander Berge. Then you have DCL, Chilly and a few more who make it into average tier but Stewart Downing and the mop absolutely drag you down. Like for me it’s inexplainable how you can spare them a 2nd look, the way they look and act make me sick!! And the fact you don’t show one bit of shame pfffff. Very bad tier seems legit for me.

Debatable tier

@dancefaeries you truly are a white man’s whore and it’s disappointing because you had potential to make it to average tier but I came to the conclusion that Todd, Daniel Agger and Diet drag your ranking down. What makes you rank higher than Alice (aka. the only thing you care about) is that the men you fancy are all somewhat smart and almost all seem to have good political views. Also that others seem to fancy them too and it’s probably just me. Nevertheless, somebody explain me what makes you endear snakes so much.

@idiotsfc you’re lucky I love you and after you tried to explain to me why you fancy some of these men, I understand it a tiny bit 😂. Still, James Milner and Stevie G???? No. I definitely can understand what you see in Carra and Gary however it’s still borderline debatable. Characterically, they all seem quite intelligent and somewhat funny tho so I’ll give you that. What makes you place in debatable tier is that you fancy a few of the “normal” ones just as Chilly.

Not bad tier

@magicmartinelli I don’t even know who you fancy rn cause it changes faster than the tide but the ones you mentioned were all valid tho not my type most of the time. Except the last one. Out of respect for you, I’m not gonna say names because I know you’d come for my ass if I did lmaooo

@ari-lfc i only know you fancy scousers and it’s a big nono for me. The unfortunate thing is they’re not even bad looking so I can’t place you lower but I don’t think they’re handsome either so above average tier seems legit 🤣

Great tier

@danieljamesmufc you’re the only one i trust when it comes to taste in men because it seems like it’s us against everyone with awful taste. I think most of the men you allow yourself to fancy are valid choices. What makes you miss out on god tier is the one you rep looks like a fucking child and the american who talks like he’s about to order mcdonalds every day. Your taste in women is fortunately much superior.

@rxdia i trust you very much when it comes to taste in men because they’re all valid most of the time!! Your taste is exceptionally great and the fact that you were able to drop Matić after he was an ass, just showed how superior you are anyway 💫 you miss out on god tier because you told me that you fancy Owen Hargreaves and you’d do Nemanja Vidić and what the fuck why would you betray me like this.

@daviddegod again, I can’t say too many bad things about you taste in men after you dropped Maddison. While they’re all basic white boys mostly of the time, I feel and understand you. The ones who are a but questionable are Martin Ødegaard and Matthijs de Ligt because they just scream twink energy to me but okay I can ignore this. You didn’t make it to god tier because of Jonny Evans and Darren Fletcher, I can’t believe you made me even look at them and tried to convince me to see something in them.

God tier

@trentalexanders although you change your crush all 3 months, I never had any issue with yours 😂 they were all somewhat cute and I definitely understood why you would fancy them. I totally approve of your choice in men. Even though I wouldn’t choose them myself haha. But at least you never had a questionable one.

@ehrenbrandt basically we always fancy the same footballers and you know what good for us. Your choice in footballers is great although I will always judge you for that one ex bayern player who shall not be named and Marco Reus 😂

[gingus-arts]

i did this >:) i also wrote a mini informal essay [read: i rambled] to explain my choices in depth and i will post that here because the character limit on instagram will not let me ;;;

also here is it in photos if that's easier 2 read (i,, spent all this time editing them for insta—)

here’s the text version-

“ okay so i'm gonna explain my choices bc i like talkin bout shit :D

0. their heights r just based on what the wiki said and their ages (and sexualities) r just my headcannons based on what i feel suits them, + a bit of what i've seem in the fandom

1. big spoon v. little spoon – i think kai would default to big spoon just bc shin is smaller than him & kai is protective but i don't think kai would mind being the little spoon at all, however his hair gets in shin's face when shin's the big spoon djshjfd. generally i don't think they'd spoon that much just because shin would be pretty hesitant to do something as overtly vulnerable and romantic as cuddling but kai likes that kind of stuff so shin would compromise occasionally u//u and as they're together longer he'd get more okay with it

2. lends clothes v. borrows clothes – i just think shin would steal kai's clothes and kai would let it happen. he finds it endearing (at least,, until he runs out of clothes ajdksj) [oh ya also i think they'd be roommates so that's how he'd steal his clothes u.u] shin probably would deny he was doing it if kai brought it up but it's very obvious

3. doesn't use pet names v. uses pet names – i just think shin would feel awkward using pet names shdjsj and in general show affection more with his actions than words, but i think kai would be okay with the occasional "darling" and "my love," esp if it gets a reaction out of shin

4. introverted v. extroverted – they r just both introverted 😔😔 i think they'd both like their alone time a lot (esp shin). i do think kai would like hanging out with other ppl a lot but find it somewhat draining to function in normal social situations for too long. u could say the same about shin but to a lesser degree, and it's a bit different since it's more about shin having a mask up in public & less abt being alert and not used 2 it like kai

5. affection thru words v. affection thru actions – i just think they'd both be really awkward when it comes to voicing their affections aaa, especially shin, just bc of the vulnerability it requires,, i think shin would try very hard not to make himself vulnerable after having that shit relationship he did w/ midori (ik it didn't specify what their relationship was or what midori was like but i have my hc's ajdjs)

6. confesses first v. waits for confession – i don't think shin would believe that kai likes him, even if it was really obvious that he did, without some very obvious sign. like he'd suspect it but keep denying it and not want to ask bc he might get turned down— i think kai would b a little less likely to get caught up in that because he'd be okay with shin turning him down (like,, not "okay with" per se but he'd understand why because he doesn't think he'd be much of a partner or friend in general 😭😭 so he'd force himself to be okay with it for the sake of not being "selfish") also i think kai would want to get The Feelings over with whereas shin would b like Repress Repress Repress Repre

7. screams about bugs v. squashes bugs w/ shoe – i think shin would b That Brand of afraid of bugs where u just avoid them or leave the room if they're there but scream if they come too close. kai's not afraid but i think he'd let the bugs live sometimes instead of just killing them

8. drives the car v. can't drive lol – i just think kai'd be good at driving since he's very meticulous and attentive, tho i just don't think he'd have too much experience. shin, on the other hand, has experience but is Not meticulous or particularly attentive sjfhdjdj

9. can't cook for shit v. cooks dinner – kai's placement is pretty self explanatory DJSHJF i just think he'd like cooking for shin and he also hates seeing shin drown himself in noodle cups & other store bought things when he could have An Actual Meal. shin,, has barely ever cooked so he's just Not Good At It At All

10. dislikes pda v. loves pda – i think shin would hate pda since he would even be uncomfortable with private affection to some degree (esp in the start of their relationship) because Vulnerability and blah blah blah but kai likes a little bit of it, like h*lding h*nds and occasional kisses on cheeks, and shin can live with that (even tho he does get flustered by it)

11. overprotective v. chill going – kai was (is?) legit sara's protector i think he'd have a hard time giving up the solid sense of protectiveness he feels for the people he cares about, especially when he's quite capable in protecting them. generally i think shin would b pretty chill but protective in the sense that kai can be his own worst enemy sometimes. small things like (subtly, bc he wouldn't want kai to know what he's doing) checking that kai's eating & sleeping enough, making sure no one's taking advantage of kai's tendency(? idk if that's the right word) to take care of others. generally this kind of stuff probably wouldn't be a problem but i think if kai was in a bad state he may fall into it. idk if that even counts as protectiveness tho 😔😔

12. has more relationship experience v. has NO relationship experience – THEY BOTH WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP EXPERIENCE (except shin w/ sou but that's really unhealthy so it like barely counts sjfjs) and i'd wager that they have,, little relationship experience in general. like, including friendships and stuff. i think that's neat in this case bc they're on the same level in that sense and can learn to communicate healthily and other relationship stuffs alongside each other u//u 👉🏼👈🏼 i feel like mishima would help them out in that regard a lot lol. it'd be fun if joe and sara did too 🥺

13. HORNY LEVEL – i,, i'm not sure if this needs an explanation but— i don't think shin would be too horny and kai wouldn't want to bother his partner with him being horny so he'd just deal w/ it. like his wants have just been stifled by being groomed to be used, if that makes sense

14.  AWKWARDNESS LEVEL – soo if this was in general i would've put both of their awkwardness levels lower but i assume this is in the context of relationship awkwardness so YES i think they'd both be pretty awkward around romantic stuff. just not understanding what to do and how to do it and stuff sjhfdfh

15. JEALOUSY LEVEL – okay so, kai and shin are two different flavours of insecure. shin is the type where when he feels inadequate he'd get jealous or bitter / upset, and when kai feels inadequate he'd accept that he's not good enough and shy away, n he'd probably feel pretty sad about it if his inadequacy was prolonged. so, if shin thinks that kai's hanging out with others more than him and seems to be happier with them, he's going to get really jealous (and mayhaps,, kinda feel like shit about it since he knows he shouldn't be jealous or upset bc kai is happy) and maybe a little distant or passive aggressive consequently. kai would just be like "aw shin's making friends :>" and if he starts to feel insecure about how much time or how shin acts around others compared 2 him, he'd internalize it and be like "well yeah i suck so this was bound to happen. Anyway i am going to make eggs benedict and cry now" “
