EPISODE 8 😭😭 THE FEELS
the first line being 'look, you didn't ask to be a half blood' 😭😭 this is the shows equivalent to the good kid reprise
The wooden sword 😂
they have my respect for showing a luke and percy practicing sword fight scene SERIOUSLY the rest of the riordanverse percy still hears advice from luke while swordfighting and that is a plot point that is so special to me okay
the transition from luke to percy as he asks for single combat it's SO CINEMATIC I LOVE IT
The threatening aura of ares after being grumpy and comedic is chefs kiss about dayum time
I wish they kept the scene where percy says something along the lines of "we didn't mention any dreams" when ares yells that gods don't dream but ofc tv!percy knows all
cue one of the most epic sword fight scenes of the century
IM THE SON OF POSEIDON NOW FACE THE TIDE INSIDE OF MEEEEEEEE
NO SERIOUSLY SOMEBODY MAKE AN EDIT
THE SIZE OF PERCY COMPARED TO THE WAVE, THE WAVE ENVELOPING BOTH OF THEM
The camera shots are too good I swear
Ok that was short
I kinda missed the police cars and the sirens in the background and the reporters and all that chaos
sallys in the breeze she's in the trees
Alecto redemption arc wasnt on my bingo card but I actually like it guys
THE NECKLACE
percy staring at annabeth as she makes it harder each day to believe no one cares about him will never get old ❤️
“Wheres the glory in that” lazy ppl dont need glory
Rip lance reddick❤️
the next time hes going to roast zeus’s family percy is going to be older and more intimidating ZEUS IS GOING TO LISTEN and thats something so amazing
the way that percy fell to the ground with his arms on his head by instinct as zeus raised his lightning bolt
POSEIDON YASSSSS
”perseus” wait a sec is this the first reveal of percys real name?
THEIR ACTING AS ALWAYS 10/10
”can i ask you a question?’ DID YOU EVER HAVE SOMEONE KISS YOU IN A CROWDED ROOM AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS WAS MAKING FUN OF YOU
Dude was like no hon i aint gon tell bout what i dream about your mother kaboom peace out
huggggg (btw guys im in this show im the camper in the background clapping for the hug) i love that laugh from percy like ‘yep this is how we roll now not bad’
I love that theyre using that position to just ominously talk about clarisse not even letting go, just hugging it out talking about the traitor
Luke and annabeth in the same frame!!! We got a hand on annabeths shoulder AND NOTHING ELSE
THE CINEMATOGRAPHY OF THE NEXT SCENE IS UNPARALLELED
THE WAY THE FIREWORKS GET DARKER AND DARKER AS LUKE IS CAUGHT
Backbiter glowed up fr now he can make interdimensional portals
also percy knows everything as usual.
the girls are fightinggggg
”im sorry” *luke taking advantage to slash percy in the arm* you will always live in my heart
The heartbreak in lukes eyes
the hearbreak in annabeths eyes
also that shot of leah against the bright lights of the fireworks makes her look so pretty
ok we’re just going to gloss over the sadness of the betrayal
Can i just say i love chirons casting SO MUCH im so excited to see him party next season
“I am percy jackson” slay
ANNABETHS PIGTAILS ARE SO CUTE
OFC SHES GOING TO DISNEY WORLD
the way shes just worrying about what it might do to kill her 🥺
annabeth: *Exists*
percy: ❤️🥺😁🥰
THE LIL FLOWER
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
bro literally gave us the percy and sally reunion of our dreams
”your survival is the key to my rise” get lost grim reaper
petition to call kronos grandpa every dream
ILL BE BACK NEXT SUMMER YOULL SEE ME AGAIN ILL BE BACK NEXT SUMMER ILL SURVIVE TILL THEN
Percy arming himself with the umbrella
I BETTER GET SEASON 2
Woooooooooooo gabe dieeeeee

im just gonna say it. disney's wish is not appealing in any sense. they're painting it up to be the next 'disney princess and cool villain' film when it reeaaally isn't.
for starters, the main character. before, the quirky archetype was somewhat excusable? like both anna and rapunzel were isolated, so their behavior was more real ish. but asha in wish? i know it's bad to just go off by a trailer but she's just. annoying. i don't want to watch her win. and that GOAT. i don't wanna think about im.
my next issue, the graphics?? i remember seeing a comment under the music video (for the villain) talking about how you could tell the writers strike goes hard and I was like omg.. they're right. it looks like a short film you could find on youtube, not a full ass movie production from a BIG COMPANY. heck, I've seen seven minute short films with far better quality. and it's not that disney can't do good animation--it's that the care has leaked out of it. This style is not handdrawn + 3d, spider verse did that way better. how am I supposed to sit through that when the quality is shifting every camera change??
this one is my second biggest peeve. THE MARKETING. it is making me HATE it. Every platform disney can use, they are flooding them. This wasn't the deal for encanto, or elemental, or any Disney movie. This is RECENT. the movie isn't out in theaters and there are already advertisements comparing the main villain to past ones. DONT PUT HIM NEXT TO SCAR OR URSULA JE DOESN'T DESERVE IT. Disney is using the success of the old to ATTEMPT to sell this movie as good. The dialogue is too modern for this fantasy setting. Grgrgr
okay last thing. the villain himself. God, they fucked up. I watched the trailer and immediately picked a side. Didn't even have to think. I agree with the dude!! his song is stupid, it should have been some kind of speech, BUT STILL. he has every right to spoiler deny wishes that are selfish. he is literally running a Kingdom. asha immediately calling him out in the trailer with a whole righteous spiel on how every wish should be granted. I was like girlie?? you're wrong? the villain is not on par with past villains because well.. he's not tragic nor evil. it's like hating a parent for keeping candy from a child because too much candy is bad.. like?? I miss when Disney villains were formed from tragedy that have way to tragic sympathy for them. you could put yourself in their shoes and be like, this is bad but it's for me and UNDERSTAND them. This new guy? he's just right. Not wrong, not selfish, just right. How am I supposed to hate the villain of some rando righteous gal is the one who accused him of evil?
wish is just not doing it for me man

Disney Review Request Princess and the Frog
Requested by @themousefromfantasyland who wanted me to discuss Princess and the FRog ,the PRincess film that isnt really talked about and why it is a bit under the radar ....And yeah I wanna talk about that too .See I remember the HYPE for this film :It was Disney going back to their roots ,a princess fairy tale musical in beautiful 2D animation by Ron Clements and John Musker AKA the best directors Disney has ever had ,this was it ,this was going to bring back Disney for a modern age.....And it did fine ,not the game changer Disney was hoping for and as a result instead of bring back Disney 2D after a long hiatus,it was more of a swan song befor one last gasp in the form of Winnie the Pooh .I also saw the film in the theaters right when Disney had kind of become an obsession and for a few years it was the fave movie of my lil sibling.....Till Frozen came out .Also spoilers ahead
The plot of this 2009 film concerns a waitress named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) who dreams of opening her own restraunt ,and meets Naveen(Bruno Campos) a selfish Prince who has been turned into a frog in a scheme by the evil Dr Facilier (Kieth David ) ,and going by the Frog Prince fairy tale ,Naveen convinces Tiana to kiss him in exchange for enough money to pay for her restraunt .....Only for her to turn into a frog as well ,and the two set off on an adventure to find a way to make them human
This is a film I wish I loved ,cause there is a lot to love .The animation is beautiful ,and everytime I watch it I get a little sad cause 2D has been completly taken over by CG ,at least in America .I like the side characters .Louis the Trumpet playing gator while not having a lot to do is brilliantly animated by Eric Goldberg and played masterfully by Michael Leon Wooley (THough I will confess ,since I found out he played Audrey II in the Broadway version of Little Shop of Horrors ,I keep expecting him to go "Feeeeeddd Meeeee" ).I ADORE Mama Odie ,a 197 year old blind voodoo priestess .She is kind of a deceptively goofy yet wise character which is an archetype I love and Jennifer Lewis gives it her all ,I had no idea the actress was only in her 50's she convinced me she was much older . I think my favorite character might be Tianas friend Charlotte ,a rich girl obsessed with marrying a prince ,she is just so energetic and funny and I love that she genuinely cares about Tiana .Ray the firefly is a character I thought I wouldnt like when the film was being advertised and I confess I dont like his design .....But he is actually the heart of the film ,Jim Cummings givers a great performance ,I love his sub plot about being in love with a star ,Evangeline ,and I remember how shocking it was that Ray DIES .At the end of the film Dr Facilier KILLS him ,and I remeber the audience gasped in the theater .Now I have seen people who either think Rays death is emotionally powerful or straight up silly ,for me....Im a big ball of emotion ,so when that second star eppears next to the wishing star meaning Ray is finally with Evangeline ......I tear up
I really love Naveen as a character ,a disinherited playboy who loves jazz and his arc and romance with Tiana is good.I also just adore the setting ,I think 1920's New Orleans is the perfect place for a 20th century fairy tale (Wish they used it better but I will get into that ).I also love the use of jazz music and speaking about the music lets talk about the songs by Randy Newman .Now I am not a big Newman fan but I think the songs are really good though some are just OK and I am gonna talk about them from my least favorite to my most favorite
8.Never Knew I needed-the obligatory end credits pop song that is good ,but I dont love it ,I kind of forgot this one existed
7.When We're Human-Sung by Tiana,Naveen and Louis Its cute but kind of meh for me
6.Gonna Take You There-Sung by Ray and his Firefly family ,its just OK
5.Down in New Orleans(All versions)-I actually really like this song ,its a good opener and closer
4.Almost There:Tianas song that is really damn good, Anika Noni Rose does a fantastic job ,I think it is also my third favorite song animation wise ....I just like three other songs better
3.Ma Belle Evangeline -One of the most underrated love songs in Disney ,I think the sequence is beautiful(One of my favorite scenes in the film honestly ) and Jim Cumming really shows off his singing skills
2.Dig A Little Deeper :Mama Odies song and its just got a good message while also be8ing a ton of fun and Jennifer Lewis just sells it .I got a weakness for Gospel style numbers
1.Friends on the Other Side-OK I have opinions that are unpopular about Doctor Facilier but I will give him this ,he has one of the BEST Villain songs in Disney .Kieth David really shows off his amazing singing skills here,the animation is perfect ,I like how it builds up to being completely insane ,its fun ,its creepy ,its just a great villain song.....With a perfect reprise ,but I'll talk about that later
I'll talk about Tiana later ,so lets go into what I think is the flaws/things I am kind of meh about/thing that almost work but dont but-...*Sigh* lets just get into it
In the meh category ....The use of celeb voices here are weird.Like usually you get a big star to play the main character or the sidekick or the villain.....But aside from getting the great character actor Kieth David to play the villain,which I get but the other three BIG STARs play supporting characters.Now I kind of get Terrance Howard and Oparah Winfrey for the parents but...I'm just gonna say it ,why is JOHN GOODMAN IN THIS FILM ??I love John Goodman ,dont get me wrong ,and yeah he is a plot point, (FAcilier wants to kill him and gain his wealth ) but he doesnt do much so I am always distracted when I hear Goodmans voice
Annnnnnddd lets get to the part that I think might get me some flack....Lets talk about my issues,AND what I like about Dr Facilier .I KNOW this guy is super beloved he is the part of the movie people REALLY like....And I'm sorry I got problems with him .I'll start with what I like :His design is great ,evoking classic DIsney villains like Captain Hook ,his villain song like I said is marvelous ,I like his evil plan to take over New Orleans and feed all the inhabitants souls to his Friends on the Other Side ,he's got menace to him,I love the fact his shadow is alive .he is played by one of my favorite actors Kieth David who delivers a phenominal vocal performance and I like that beneath his cool facade he is actually a desperate and terrified dude when it comes to his otherworldly buddies ......But while he is made of cool parts ,they emphisize his greed ,his motive is he wants money and power ......Thats boring and it doesnt really vibe with "Im going to let spirits devour New Orleans " .The other is he is more plot villain and not a good foil to the heroes . He has no connection with Tiana really ,they only have one scene together and she apparently knows who he is but thats never explained .I say to make him a better villain
1.Emphisize his back story that he was someone who used magic to fufill his desires the easy way ,and his desperation to pay off his debt is his motive
2.Have him pursue the heroes ,and tempt the heroes.
I wll say he is a fun character ,I just wish he was great .....Oh his death scene is AMAZING and TERRIFYING though, dragged to the spirit world by his own shadow as his own villain song is sung by monstrus spirits ,that was such a jaw dropping scene in the theater ,possibly my favorite Disney villain death
As for things in the I dont like section.....The film begins strong,and ends strong too.....But that middle section in the bayou is just kind of dull.Up to Ma Belle Evangiline that whole part of the film just drags ,including these three minor bad guys that dont add anything ,theres some terrible jokes ,and two of the songs dont do it for me .Humor in general is hit and miss .Oh I almost forgot ,Lawrence is one of the most forgettable villain sidekicks in Disney,I kind of forget he is in the movie
Well Question time
1 - What do you think about Tiana as a character?
I like Tiana ,I think she is a good protagonist ,Anika Noni Rose soes a good performance ,I find her likeable and I like her romance with Naveen.
2 - Do you think this movie would be better if Tiana didn't turn into a frog, or if the frogs journeyed through New Orleans more inteastad of the bayou?
Yeah I wouldve preferred mor human Tiana,and while I like swampy settings ,I wanted more in New Orleans .
3 - Is this movie good, bad, or just watchable?
Its... on the good end of Watchable .I dont return to it a bunch it has flaws ...But its got its good stuff in it .I dunno I always go in wanting it to be better then it is
Overall it almost works but it feels undercooked ,but I still reccomend it .If best is A+ this is about a B

I don't often ever really talk about these things but like, does anyone else have MAJOR franchise fatigue?
Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, HARRY FUCKING POTTER
I am so done with them all.
I'm gonna rant about Harry Potter for a bit. Fair warning.
I got tired of Harry Potter well over 10 years ago. The final movies hadn't even been released and because I have the disadvantage of living in bloody England Harry Potter bullshit has been EVERYWHERE for TWO FUCKING DECADES. I remember my friend dragging me to the studio tour because she got tickets for her bday. I like movie BTS stuff but my god the amount of BUY THIS BUY THAT that gets shoved in your face drove me mad. Proud to say that other than the OG books I read when I was a teenager I have never owned a single bit of HP merchandise in my LIFE. It took my irl friends bullying me to finally go on pottermore and get sorted into a Hogwarts house when I was 27. TWENTYSEVEN. I resisted for years!! I don't even care. They sat me down and made me log on to that stupid website and take the stupid quiz whilst I raised an eyebrow the whole time and tried to smile and pretend it was fun. After all, I'm not actually a total bitch and they are my friends and were enjoying themselves and I didn't wanna upset them. But why do I need to know if I'm a hufflepuff or whatever? Oh thats right, so I can buy the appropriate MERCHANDISE.
You know real witches make their wands? They go out and find a tree and ask the tree if they can take a branch, you have to give the tree something back and say a blessing. You can add crystals or ribbon or whatever you want but a wand is NOT something you buy in a bloody shop. I hate that HP made kids think that.
Why would anyone wanna buy a game about a nearly 3 decade old franchise thats been shoved in all our faces practically our whole lives (if you are a millennial or younger). Im not a gamer anyway so I don't get the appeal but even without all the transphobia and antisemitism involved the whole concept is extremely tiresome to me.
Can we please be done with Harry Potter now??? I dont wanna see it. I dont wanna see anything about it. I didnt give a fuck when I was in my early twenties and I dont give a fuck now in my late thirties its never been any fucking good. Its a rip off of Lord of the rings crossed with the writing of Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman anyway.
For years I felt awkward even mentioning to people that I didnt like Harry Potter, like it was a cardinal sin or something. I'm glad people are finally seeing it for what it truly it, even though I wish it didnt take the lives and rights of transpeople to get to this point. Its disgusting that its still so damn popular even WITH JKRs blatant transphobia. I hope the boycotts work. Trans and Jewish people you have my love and support, for both your sakes and so that bloody franchise can stop being shoved in my face everytime I leave the bloody house. Im glad people are finally picking it apart and realising how problematic it was. Things I think made me uncomfortable about it before I really understood the depth of reasons why.
I have been obsessed with witchcraft and paganism since I was a child. I was a weird kid. Harry Potter turned something I was passionate about in a deeply personal way into a consumerist nightmare. Witch became synonymous with it, spells, charms, magic, I'm honestly surprised JKR didnt try to copyright the terms.
Look I dont often talk about social issues. My tumblr is my escape from the injustices of the world and I take my mental health very seriously. But I support trans and jewish people in boycotting this game.
I care about trans rights, about the rights of LGBTQA+ people. The rise of antisemitism AGAIN deeply disturbs me. People truly never learn from history do they? I try to do my bit where I can offline. I have signed petitions, I have donated to causes where I have found them and I am most definitely gonna do my damndest to get everyone I know to vote the transphobic (and otherwise generally evil in every way) Tory government OUT at the next election.
This rant may come across a bit selfish. It is tbh. I am fucking glad Harry Potter isnt popular anymore. Though outside of online communities particularly in the UK its still huge and everywhere. I wish we could wipe it off the face of the Earth.
I am fed up of all these franchises though. If I never have to sit through another Marvel movie it'll be a happy day. If I never have to hear the fucking Star Wars theme again I'll celebrate, if I never have to read about another Disney remake again Ill be so relieved (although I do get some satisfaction reading about them flopping). This post capitalism hellscape we exist in is fucking exhausting.
What we really need to do with these franchises though is pull an Avatar on them (the blue people not the cool cartoon). We need to stop talking about them. Stop letting them infect our collective cultural consciousness. The only way to get them out of our faces is to actually let them die. We did it right with Fantastic Beasts. We can do it again. Remember that in capitalism, even negative press is good press, and the more the press focuses on the controversies and discourse, the more the name of the game is getting into the minds of consumers, especially those that dont give a fuck about trans rights or antisemitism.
I dont know where it ends, but my god I hope it HAS an end. Something surely has got to give right? Anyways. I dunno if there was a point to this rant other than im fed up of a lot of things and feeling particularly grumpy today, but anyways. Boycott Harry Potter and all things related to it.
Support trans rights. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Enough of this bullshit already.

Buddie in the Disney-verse
"That's How You Know", a Disney song about love and how you show it.
youtube
I based this on the video above, but changed some of the pronouns in correlation to the person I put singing the line, as well as how I want the message to be sung. I will be making a part two for this, maybe not right away but it will be on my story board.
Please enjoy!
The grocery store was somewhat packed, on Wednesday night, not that Buck minded much. He was shopping for dinner that night, he would be spending it with Eddie, although Chris wasn’t coming. He probably canceled at the last minute or something, so it would just be them too.
"Hey! Psst, hello?" Buck glanced to his side.
"My bad, need me to get something, or…?"
"Ah no! I wanted to read your fortune!" The girl in front of him smiles.
"My fortune?"
"Yep! Or more, like, reading your string!"
"Uh," Buck really couldn't find it in himself to actually care. "Sure."
She grabs his right hand, and begins rubbing his pinkie. Humming every 3 seconds, Buck didn’t know whether or not to be weirded out.
“So… you see, my bad, read anything?”
"Your crush is mutual, and with a little push, he'd make his move to prove it too you soon! Isn't that exciting?"
This time Buck did laugh. Eddie Diaz? Master of hidden emotions and meanings? Asking him out? Utter fantasy. And he must have said it out loud, because the girl backed up a few spaces.
"Are you, do you really think that?" She huffs. Why were they speaking again?
"Well, if I said that, wouldn't I?" He walks off.
The girl frowns.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"All right Bobby, I'm off!" Eddie shouts. He had just finished his speedy after-work-shower, obviously excited for his plan tonight.
"Alright Edmundo thank you for coming in today. Tell Buck we said hi!" The captain shouts. Eddie flashes a grin at the captain’s back, before continuing to his car.
Yes, yes, he knows he is acting like some high schooler, excited to talk to his crush and whatever. And yes, he knows that at this rate, Buck would probably notice his feelings before he finished his speech tonight. But all of that doesn't matter when he could stay by his side!
… Now he feels old…
Abuelita Favorita
[Hola Edmundo, can you do me a favor?]
[Sure, whats up?]
[Mind running to Bruno's flower
shop real quick to grab those cute
flower hats?]
[It's for Bingo night.]
Eddie holds back a laugh. This reminds him of a meme Buck shared with him…
[Ofc I dont mind]
He turns at the red light instead of continuing straight. He pulls in the appropriate parking lot minutes later, rushing a bit so he could head home faster.
“Hello? Bruno?” He doesn’t get an answer, but it is fine, he knows what he is looking for.
“Hi!” A girl shouts. Eddie whirls around, swearing under his breath.
“Sorry, I didn't see you there. Are you a new worker or…?”
“Nope! I just realized you need help! So I am here to help!”
“Help? With what?” He walks around her to grab the ten pack flower hats. When he turns around again, she is still there.
“Confessing your love!” Eddie pales.
“And why would I need help? I’m like, 90% sure they already know anyway. Confessing isn’t even that hard!”
“Ah, but that's the thing,they don’t.”After zig-zagging through the aisle to distract her, he finally gives up, and faces her once more. Where is that Bruno?
“Uhm, no, they don’t. He is smart like that.”
“How do you know he knows then?” Evelyn asks.
“Because, well, it's obvious?”
“It never is obvious.” She sighs. She grabs his basket, and guides Eddie towards the front desk of the flower shop.
“Ah, can I help you?” Bruno asks. He finally walks up to the front, and brightens when he recognizes him. “Edmundo!”
“Hey! So-” Eddie starts, trying to push Evelyn away. (Start!)
“How does he know, you love him?” She sings. “How does he know, he’s yours?”
“Wait wait wait.” Eddie laughs. He could not believe she was singing right now.
“How does he know that you love him? How do you show him you love him?” Bruno joins in. Did he just pull out a drum from under him?
“How does he know that you really, really, truly love him? How does he know that you love him? How do you show him you love him? How does he know that you really, really, truly love him?” Evelyn and Bruno sing harmonically. Then Bruno, who is like, 70, jumps onto the counter, and continues the beat.
“Guys, what? Is this some rehearsal? Am I dreaming? We aren’t in a Disney movie, you know.”
“Shhh, relax.” Evelyn says. She gently takes the basket from his hands, and guides him to the suddenly open space in the store. “And listen.”
“It’s not enough to take the one you love for granted.” Bruno sings. “You must remind him or he’ll be inclined to say~”
“‘How do I know he loves me? How do I know he’s mine?’” Evelyn prances past him, holding a new basket.
“Buck.. knows though?” Eddie stutters. Both people turn to look at him, making him doubt his own thoughts.
“Well, do you leave a little note to tell him he is on his mind? Send him yellow flowers when the sky is gray?” A bouquet of Sunflowers were pushed into his face, making it hard for him to see.
“No, but,-” He was hushed with “tsk tsk”s from Bruno, while Evelyn continued.
“You’ll find a new way to show him! A little bit everyday! Cause that's how he’ll know, that's how he’ll know he is your love.”
“Here is a pen, amigo. You should write it right away!” Bruno hands him one, and gestures to Evelyn. “And those flowers definitely give off the innocent love type! How about this, these’ll be in the house, and your Abuelita’s flowers will only come out to 15$. How's that?” Eddie blanches, finished writing a (rather straightforward) note.
“No no it's fine I-”
“It’s wonderful! He will be back to see if all this was successful! Which, trust me, it will be!” She takes the note from Eddie’s grasps, and attaches it to the flowers. “Please, dear friends, send this to the man who needs to see!” A few birds, a mixture between pigeons and crows, take the bouquet from her, and start to fly.
“How do they know which way to go?” Eddie calls out. He just finished paying for his grandmother’s stuff, and placed it in a bag.
“Magic, of course.” Eddie just sighed in exasperation. “Now let's go!”
“Bye you two! And good luck!” Bruno waves.
The two of them head out to his car, and the moment Eddie places the bag down, Evelyn tugs at him again. He barely managed to close and lock his car before they were entering a park.
“You got to show him you need him, don't treat him like a mind reader!” A man sings. He twirls his date around, before pulling them close. “ Each day do something to lead him to believe you love him!”
“That’s right! Everybody wants to live happily ever after!” She gestures towards the church, where a newly wed couple exits. “Everybody wants to know their true love is true!”
“ How do you know he loves you?” The bride sings. “How do you know he's yours?”
“Well do you take her out dancing just so you can hold her close?” The two are surrounded by a group of dancers, all swaying to seemingly the same song. A pair on the right lean gracefully into the other’s space, presenting three tickets to a formal family event. Evelyn thanks them, and passes them to Eddie, who examines them. “Dedicate a song with words meant just for her, ooo? You’ll find your own way to tell him, with the little things you’ll do!”
“And that’s how he’ll know!” The crowd joins. “That’s how he’ll know! He’s your love~”
“So if I do all these things, will he finally understand?” The two of them collapse on a park bench a couple of paces down from the crowd.
“Yep! It’s clear to me he is more of a verbal affirmation type. Maybe touch is his love language, or verbal assurance. Something like that.”
“Wait, you are speaking as if you met him?”
“Anyway,” She continued.``That’s how he’ll know you love him!” Eddie narrowed his eyes at the obvious transition. “That’s how he’ll know its true!”
“Because they’ll wear your favorite color just so they could match your eyes!” A little girl blushes. Her, also young, date kneels in front of her, holding a ring pop out like a wedding ring. “Plan a private picnic by the fire’s glow, oh!”
“Their hearts will be yours forever! And Something everyday will show! Cause that’s how you know! That's how you know!” The crowd chants. Evelyn turns to Eddie expectantly. “That's how you know! That's how you know! That's how you know! That's how you know!”
“… he’s your love.” Eddie finally finishes. He barely managed to roll his eyes at her antics before she dragged him back towards the crowd, in the direction of his vehicle.
“That's how they’ll know that you love them!” The little girl and boy sing.
“That's how you show her you love her!” The dancing couple adds twirling for good measure.
“You’ve got to show her you need her!” The bride smiles at the love of her life.
“Don’t treat her like a mind reader!”The man sings.
“That’s how he knows that you love him, that’s how you know that you love him!” Eddie joins. It was plain to see how he finally understood the whole message of this wonderful song. Evelyn couldn’t be more proud.
“It’s not enough to take the one you love for granted!”
Eddie jumps into his car, slamming his door shut. To say he was motivated was an understatement. He felt as if his nerves were on fire, driving was almost painful because of it.
“Good luck!”

you know what never makes cinderella adaptations completely satisfactory to me, no matter how good or creative they may be? it's that none of them ever replicated how cinderella and the prince actually met for the first time. it's always 'cinderella walks in and grabs everybody's attention with her beauty or her dress or her attitude and whatever else', but in the 1950 animated film, cinderella actually came in so quietly, barely anybody in the hall paid attention or even saw her at all — not a single person but the prince, who saw only her, as she stood at the back looking around in wonder of the castle, because the only reason she was actually there was because she finally had a chance to leave the manor.
and the prince, barely caring about the event itself, instead of waiting for cinderella to come inside, actually walked all the way to the back of the hall himself, greeted her, and asked to dance. he brings her to the middle of the floor, uncaring of everything and everyone.
and it's just so lovely how it happens because cinderella wasn't there for the prince, in fact, she didn't even know he was the prince that night. she was there for herself, and the prince who had so many people trying to get in his good graces, or have his hand in marriage, was there not because he was keen to find a wife, but because his father, the king, wanted him to find one.
its a small detail really, but i find it to be so significant because i personally am not all that reluctant or against the idea of love at first sight. i think it does exist — maybe not love immediately, but that strange little feeling you get sometimes when you see someone or lock eyes with them for the first time, and you just know. you just know that there's something about this person. you just know that you're gonna end up liking or loving this person somewhere down the road (and it doesn't necessarily have to be romantic), and you don't exactly know or understand why, but that's how it feels.
i just think that the love story of cinderella and the prince is actually a bit of a quiet, humble, and private one — it was a connection shared just by the two of them in that moment at the back of the hall, and when they danced, and when they went to the garden. it wasn't an all too grand or showy love, really. the only thing that suddenly made it so was that in the prince's desperation to find her, they conducted a search throughout the kingdom.
i personally just loved how cinderella didn't have to be such a grand, majestic presence who caught everybody's attention. i loved how the prince walked all the way to the back to ask her for a dance without uttering a word to anyone else. i loved how they somehow met in the middle, rather than cinderella completely walking all the way by herself to him. i loved how they didn't even have any prior connections that could've led to them meeting at all somewhere down the road, so it really was in fact, that single, beautiful, magical moment that changed everything. and it's even lovelier how cinderella's song about dreams being wishes that your heart make and will come true, can also be related to the fact that the dance itself happened at a time that's usually when people are asleep and dreaming.
and i know the whole glass slipper thing might be ridiculed at times, but i think we can look at it another way; this glass slipper (that was made of magic and could only fit cinderella), let's take the magic thing away, there's probably hundreds of other girls in the kingdom who had the same shoe size as her. but not taking it at face value, the story somehow shows how so many people could be just like cinderella, but at the end of the day, the one the prince loves is her.
(and a major bonus: in cinderella 3, when the prince was under a spell that made him forget her, it seemed to crack, even if only in the slightest, the second he locked eyes with cinderella again for the first time, and even more so when she touched his hand. even under a spell, when he hadn't even met cinderella yet after forgetting her existence, he knew something was wrong when he saw anastasia, felt nothing, touched her hand, and continued to feel nothing. cinderella 3 supremacy. i could gush about that film for ages.)
i dont know if that's how they intended for things to be seen, but that's how i see them, and i love seeing them that way. i mean a fairytale is a fairytale, i really don't want to ruin it with logic. magic is already a part of the story, so what's the point of seeing things with logic anyways?
this became a whole rant, but i said what i said T_T
on a side note, i'm not saying the adaptations were terrible, they just weren't completely satisfactory for me i guess, but it's fine, i still enjoyed some of them :> i personally liked of course the OG, with hilary duff, and the ones with selena gomez, lucy hale, and bailee madison.

My Regression/Tips for Babis and Tinis!
Hey Hey Everybabi!! i wanted to talk about my regression today! i have no reason to i just wanted to :)
(NOTE!! when i post something like this, i am NOT regressed! part of this post today is about my impure regression, and if i were regressed while talking about it, i would trigger myself into impurely regressing, and i could accidentally do something to worsen that mental state! please do not read this if you are regressed, and if you choose to, please take heed, and know that part of this is very personal, as all agere is, but impure agere is even MORE personal. please be careful everybabi!)
so first, if you all didnt know, i am a noncom sfw babi :) i regress to ages 0-5, but mostly 3-5 bc i am a toddler. i do not have a cg, but i take very good care of myself :) i usually have a comfort item for when i regress, and that is my amazing stuffie squishmallows BunBun and Zelina! as you can guess BunBun is a bunny XD and Zelina is a sugar skull cat! Zelina is more for impure regression though, and i WILL cover that in a second. BunBun is one of my favorite stuffies for regressing with because he is easy to hold. i struggle with holding onto my stuffies when i regress because in my normal day to day life, i don’t dote on my stuffed animals like babi me does. i have a giant squishmallow named Rei (pronounced Ray) who is an otter, and she is my pillow when i have to take a nap or go to bed regressed. i have a lot of stuffies though, because i am a regressor with a severe mental illness so i need them to help me be calm if i am feeling overwhelmed by the day, or my symptoms are too strong for me to focus on something else, and they’re really my only smolspace tool. i am a minor, and a very much closeted babi, so i don’t use pacis, or diapies, or onesies, no matter how much i want to, but i love my stuffies and i depend on them a lot. i use coloring books as well, i have different ones for my different ages. i have a horror one thats for 5 year old me, as i am a babi who loves horror/metal. but i have a tim burton one for three year old me, and a nightmare before xmas one for 4 year old me, and then i have a school issued one thats just a bunch of misc pages reused for 0-2 babi me.
and i often get asked, “how can i regress more easily without agere tools like pacis or diapers, or onesies?” and my answer is: there are a lot of things you could do, and i want to say that what works for me, might not work for you. but here is what i do, i have a playlist on my spotify, (a couple but ill only mention this one) it’s called disney songs, and ill rock out to those, and i dont always know when im smol but i start dancing around when im babi :). i hold BunBun tight and i read too. but i read giant chapter books no matter what headspace im in tbh. but i color, i baby talk as much as is possible for me (which is not the most obvious baby talk, i dont like the sound of misplaced w’s and other letters) and i let myself be happy!
im a very independent babi, so i don’t really like people trying to do things for me, but i won’t ask for help either because that’s hard for me. i dont NEED a cg, it’s more of a want. i love to be cuddled when smol, but i also have a huge thing that’s like, “don’t touch me unless i ask you to” because when i regress, i keep to myself a lot, and having people in that space with me can agitate me :( but if i want a person as a cg, its usually my sister, and i just spend an unnecessary amount of time with her.
now, something else, is that i impurely regress a decent amount too. and here is some of what that looks like, (the really intense parts are not for my social media, as i am very vulnerable in those moments, and i dont want to trigger anyone) i usually hold Zelina and i cry a lot. this happens a lot at night, as i get sad and/or scared when im alone by myself at night if i am heavily regressed (0-1 1/5 usually). i keep to myself even more than i usually do when impurely regressing, and i dont talk a lot, but if i do end up speaking, it’s usually a swear word directed at myself. i usually listen to music or i draw, or ill just nap away the regression so that i can wake up in a more happy babi mindset. there’s a lot more thought that goes into setting up nap/bedtime for impurely regressed babi me. i take time to brush my hair out nicely if i can, (part of why i want a cg/ need one for impure days) and i put on Clair by Gilber Osullivan while i sleep, and i have Rei as my pillow and Zelina under my arm, but i also have to make sure that i have BunBun next to me too, so that when i wake up, i gravitate toward him so that i can have a good day as babi. i also have a Totoro stuffie, but he’s my big me stuffie mostly, because im afraid that if im smol ill accidentally hurt him, as he is a hand made stuffie with glass eyes, and hes made in a way that is incredibly stiff, like his tail is pokeywokey, so i dont really sleep/regress with him unless i have a sort of party with him :))
i hope this helped some of you! i really wanted to do a big post today, i know this was VERY long and probably super tedious to read, but thank you for reading!! have a good day, drink water, tell your cg/stuffies you love them, and i will post tomorrow!
Much Love Everybabi!

i know i talk about this on twitter like every other week but. when it comes to Media I Enjoy, the secret sauce for me is Sincerity.
i know this isn’t a thing you can measure objectively in any way, and you sort of have to take their word for it. and just like the concept of Authenticity, it can be Manufactured, which makes it... contradictory. like. there is no way for me to measure pieces of media against one another and say that “well creator A clearly but more love into their work than creator B”. besides, that’s not what i want to measure at all. i think it has more to do with, the willingness to be vulnerable, i think? how willing are you to throw away your sword and shield before stepping into the battlefield.
if you look at my favourite movies, they’re like. pacific rim, mad max: fury road, the secret of kells, atlantis: the lost empire, treasure planet, promare... and like, i think they’re excellent movies. but more importantly to me, they’re not afraid of being what they are. they kinda know that at their core they’re kinda silly and wishywashy (not you, secret of kells. you are Perfect), but they aren’t denying that. they lean into themselves. every parody i’ve ever loved has been an Affectionate Parody, building upon its roots rather than mock them.
meanwhile, i am struggling to feel any hype at all for newer disney movies. some of it is because of my own nostalgia and my growing up (even if it feels like a betrayal to admit to it), some of it is the growing awareness of disney as an all-consuming and cynical corporation, some of it might be the shift in genres and mediums and it might simply not be as much to my tastes as my old faves. that’s all valid. because i do not doubt for a SECOND that the people working on all these new movies are deeply passionate and full of love for the stories that they’re telling! but there’s also something about how every movie feels like it’s being polished down more and more and more to appeal to the w i d e s t audience possible. it seems like it’s so difficult for them to keep anything quirky or strange or challenging because they know what the backlash and criticism will be - which also feels deeply dissonant to me knowing that if anyone can withstand the backlash it’s fucking disney. it feels like cowardice, not on the creators’ behalf, but of the corporation. it would rather be safe than sincere. and like, the movies aren’t BAD by any means!! they have every resource available to them, of course even the least well-recieved movies they release are still going to be Pretty Okay.
i mean. i dont work in the industry at all, maybe i have no clue what i’m talking about. i don’t know what it’s like to make a movie or what it’s like to make your vision come to life. it’s very easy to armchair diagnose movies. maybe it’s my Taste that is wrong!!
it’s not just movies though. i read a lot of webcomics and sometimes Books and also we live in the age of youtube and podcasts. there’s a lot of mediums for people to tell their stories and stuff. and i really do have soft spots for kinda wonky webcomics that have a lot of heart. i have probably watched more amateur video essays than i have watched professional documentaries in the past couple years. i still refuse to think undertale is cringy because it dared to be more sincere and vulnerable than anyone calling it so ever hoped to be. and like, yeah, i want to be careful about lauding the “FOLLOW UR DREAMS TELL UR STORY” narrative, because we live in a society and we gotta pay bills and sometimes your most self-indulgent story just isn’t gonna cut it. i’ve followed enough webcomic artists for years to know that the internet is a graveyard of abandoned passion projects. creating webcomics can be such thankless work that might bring you little to no revenue and pushing your body to create it might break it permanently. it’s awful to think about. i have so much love for every creator that had to end or abandon their work prematurely for whatever reason. thank you for giving us the gift of reading it at all, you know?
idk i love creators and i love it when they get to do their thing and i know it’s complicated. thank you for daring to share your heart’s blood with us
#[vibrates gently]#do not get me started on webtoon reader entitlement#also botw is a Sincere game. you can tell from the motorcycle#too long for twitter

okayyyy let me make my post about legends of tomorrow 6.05 “the satanist’s apprentice.” right away i knew this episode was gonna be something special with the care they were taking showing us astra’s perspective. and it just kept getting better and better until the real show-stealer which was of course the ANIMATED SEQUENCE!!!!!!!! i am so glad i wasn’t spoiled for that. truly amazing to see. i can’t imagine how much work that must have been to arrange but it was totally worth it, such an incredible sequence. but even apart from that very fun and flashy trick it was a really great episode!!!!
i’m really really glad the writers decided to allocate almost an entire episode to humanizing astra and showing us life from her perspective. astra won me over in the college sorority episode but i definitely think more work needed to be done with the character to make her really feel like one of the team members, and they did that really well here. one issue i had with astra early on is that she felt very much like a two dimensional sexy femme fatale when she was first introduced, and i feel like that characterization stuck around for quite a few episodes. i really dont care for the decision to introduce her that way, even if it makes it more shocking for constantine to see that shes alive and all grown up. i think she shouldve been presented as a more nuanced character from the get go. but hey they finally start doing that in later episodes and this episode explores who she is very thoroughly.
i loved seeing astra’s morning routine and just all the stuff she does (or doesn’t do) every day. lots of fun. again i think it’s so important to humanize her not just because she was initially presented as this evil sexy femme fatale but also because she is a Black woman and too often white or nonblack audiences refuse to relate to these characters. so it’s great that the way the episode is written and directed essentially forces us to relate to astra. i felt so bad for her when she got drenched by that puddle omg i hope constantine’s house at least has hot water in the showers. i thought it was interesting when her old white guy neighbor is racist to her because legends has been really steering away from depicting racism onscreen in recent seasons when the early seasons showed much more of that. i think it’s done effectively, it makes us feel for astra and want to see the old guy dead which of course plays into the later scene where astra lures him over to kill him. also i was so mad at constantine for being super dismissive of astra and not helping her even though this is her first time living on earth as an adult and also she’s basically his time-displaced niece. constantine you misogynist!!!!!!!!!!
somehow i had previously been under the impression that astra was already a sorcerer but i guess not? it was fun seeing her make this devil’s bargain although she seemed just a tad naive. but if you think about it she had everything under control up until the bad guy (i forget his name) stole the soul thingy. so she didn’t do anything wrong except lower her guard down a little when she realizes she can’t kill this horrible old racist guy. and i think that makes sense because such a revelation is going to be shocking for her. she used to be fine with causing lots of death and cruelty, and this guy certainly had it coming. but she’s not that person anymore. she has changed and become more compassionate and doesn’t want to hurt people needlessly anymore. i still wish that old guy could be punished in some way though like she could infest his house with bats or something bc he deserves it.
it was so fun when she turned the legends into various household objects. why was nate a CHEESE. i loved zari and ava’s little faces. and it’s so funny that zari was a flip phone. would she even know what that is, since shes from the future? and then everything about the animation i loved. it was so funny how astra began talking all disney princess-y and using dramatic gestures and all that. and she saves the day by singing her mother’s song! how lovely is that. also awesome to see the animated versions of the transformed legends fight and then tuck the bad guy into bed. so silly. i like how at the end astra says the legends are her friends!!!!!!! love that for her.
the side plot with sara was also really good even though it was very short. bishop is a fantastic villain. he’s just so AWFUL. i love how charismatic he is and how that just enhances his awfulness. and also how he is always singing and dancing like a weirdo. i dont have much experience with techbros but he seems like a techbro. also so interesting to see the nurse ava clone. i like how disturbed sara was by her and by how brainwashed she was. and i loved how sara tried to convince the clone to help her escape and really thought she got through to her. sara made the mistake not only of thinking this clone was more like her ava than she truly was, but also of thinking that all it would take to get this clone on her side was an inspiring speech about her personhood. it’s honestly so arrogant of her, but also so in character. sara has a hero complex when it comes to saving women from their own internalized misogyny and that’s essentially what she’s trying to do here. but the clone’s brainwashing is more thorough than sara had counted on.
umm anyway really good episode i thought caity lotz’s directing was good and i like that astra is becoming a bigger part of the team now :)

hey Kip! I’m sending asks into different writer’s askboxes, inquiring about cool themes/development facts/stuff the author wants to share about their personal favorite work of their own. What’s yours? :)
Ok so this ask is old and when I first got it I was like “dang I don’t really have a lot to talk about, what should I talk about I could those revalink headcanons the Kip Cut that turned into a working fic uhh hmm maybe I’ll just make something new to talk about real quick” and then I did and now there is a 12+ chapter Revalink fic in my drafts and I’m gonna talk about that now, whoopsie doopsie [click "j" to skip]
aHEM, OK so allow me to break out the primary school white board because yeah, I have a lot of thoughts and the oxford comma has not yet made it’s home into my brain. oh and spoilers for paraphrase. for both all of Chapter one and future events in later chapters, but it’s really nothing you couldn’t surmise from the AO3 tags
so I really wanted to tell the story of Revali and Link learning and struggling to love again after the less-than-fortunate events of Botw, but I wanted a...how you say...fresher, approach on the subject? Like I know we always say that fanfic writers writing the same tropes and stories time and time again is good because we eat that shit up--but at the same time I had asian parenting as was told never to half ass anything ever, no matter what. So now I'm gay and extra and have depression maybe and oh would you look at that @motherhyrule has dropped a beautiful revalink prompt right into my lap
Great so now that we have, that, I shall take you on the step by step process on how to make a :sparkles: story. So step one is to spend at least five to eleven business days for your white board to dismantle your genre and themes and work them around your character arcs. Luckily I have prepared one ahead of time
s*breaks out those laser pointers that uni professors use* So let's start with defining genre. As define because I HATE you, fuck you. I want you to suffer and writhe on the ground, motherfucker. How dare you think that I would give you nothing but pure predictable fluff, fuck you and yours
is the set of expectations that your audience has when consuming a piece of media
And the great thing about fanfiction is that unlike movies or book where the genres are more vague like, "oh it's a noir mystery genre. so there's a crime, maybe a murder, and a detective and a criminal." or "oh it's a teen romance. so there's some white people and a morally questionable six-pack 18 year old love interest that will be painted as desirable for some reason" BUT with fanfiction HALF of the work out the window, because as soon as you see those #revalink #aro sidon #zelpha #revali is an idiot and #found family tags you already know what's up.
Now what's so great about genre and expectation? Well the fun thing about it is that
I will use it to fucking break you.
... ... ...
<3 For example! <3
In Chapter 1: Holes, you already expect there to be revalink, you already expect them to be soulmates with the soulmarks and there's angst and yadayada ya. Revali and Link have to match because thatttss what this is all about, this is about them! This is about cute, little soulmarks and romantic words!
But whoooopsie doopsie [disney channel laugh track plays] they DON'T match anymore! Link's got a different mark! The number one rule of this entire genre has been broken whoooooooooooooooops. *ba dum tiss*
You might notice with a lot of my writing that I do this a lot, this whole..."oop but there's one little thing that's different." TebaSaki sick fic? Ok cool, but what if Teba burns an irreplaceable relic of the Rito champion to fight a wizzrobe first to characterize why his dumbass clicks with Saki. Mipha deciding to persue Link? Ok what if she chases after a dragon to externalize this conflict as she pierces it's flesh for a scale. Link fighting a Lynel? Ok but what if it's actually a sidlink angst fic in disguise and it's also world building on how Link deals with the bloodmoon that erases all of his efforts which is sort of similar to how his existence was erased from Hyrule 100 years ago mwaahahaha! Ok now that I say this outloud I think I just have a pattern of using fight scenes to externalize character growth. I like fight scenes...anyways.
I think another great thing about the realm of fanfiction is that with the tagging system, I can basically use a chekhov's gun sort of deal, without doing any writing. You know I'm gonna use that gun marked "soulmates" but you don't know when I'm gonna shoot it, and you SURE as hell don't know how.
And huzzah! One of the main points of conflict both drives the tension between Revali and Link, solidifies the unique genre and setting of this world, while also creating a new mystery that will carry over for the next few chapters.
Is Revali right in that Link's rebirth makes him destined for someone new now? What will Link do with the information that his soulmark has changed? Why did it change? Did Revali's change as well? How does anything fucking work right now?
And sure, you might be able to tell where things will end with them, but you sure as fuck will not know how because I HATE you. Fuck you. I want you to suffer and writhe on the ground, motherfucker. How dare you think that I would give you nothing but pure predictable fluff. I am not your goddamn fairy godmother, I will do as I fucking please. You will suffer as you fucking deserve, fuck you and your little tiny--
/j
Oh! But you might have noticed on my little planning whiteboard thing that there was a little T-Chart! For Revali and Link! That's because the next important thing besides plot (and in a lot of cases, including this one, it's argued to be even MORE important than plot) is
~CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT~
[to the tune of that history of the world video on youtube]
So yes, it's a little T-Chart outlining their character views in relation to the themes. And the great thing about themes is that they're not something you can necessarily predict in the same way you can with the genre and plot.
But now see, I'm very lazy so I'm just gonna plagiarize @hyrule-kingdom-updates thingy [that you should read btw] because they said my point quite clear enough
Now I don't really need to care about those points about bond and relationships and being understood, because I'm dealing with already established canon characters. I'm not some NERD who dabbles with entire casts of ocs who even cares about ocs not me that's for sure ahaahahaahahahahahaahahahahahAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH *cries in my orphaned WTTU fic* AHAHAHA*sobs*DONT FUCKING LOOK AT ME THAT WAY I SWEAR--
/j I love ocs
But the points I do wanna focus on is the idea that characters provide new perspectives on the theme, and that characters growth can be tracked based on their wants, lies, and needs.
So see, themes can be predicted the same as genre/plot because while you can have the same fanfic plots and tropes, theme will always vary!
Sometimes it's a journey of selfworth with Revali! Sometimes it's an exploration of trauma with Link. Sometimes it's about how you deal with the vulnerabilities of love with Mipha. Sometimes there's straight up NOOOO theme, and people just be fucking, and kissing, and baking, and having a good time. And that is totally fine too!
But I'm not a fucking coward.
I'm gonna weave in themes with my plot, because I fucking can.
I'm not a weakling like you.
Do you hear me, 2019 Kip? Do you hear me Demmers? Do you hear me Quill? I'm coming for your ass. You think you're so great, but I'm coming for you. Rest assured that your graves will be as deep as your sculptured pride--
Heeeere is that T-Chart again, plus more!
yyyyyYou might notice that Revali and Link are quite parallel, to paraphrase. Ayoooo, see what I did there? *dabs* I'm a genius. Anywho
They both start off the same way: 100 years ago they were in love and happy. Basically the equivalent of childish naivety. For the first time in their lives, life is whimsical and charming, and they make each other happy. In fact, it's almost a flaw with how they perceive this happiness. But don't worry! It doesn't last long!
You know what happens.
I think the chart is pretty self explanatory. Revali builds walls fast enough to give a republican a wet dream. Meanwhile Link makes every aromantic in the chat groan with his doubled down sentiments in the idea that his chances of being truly happy again are gone.
Now, I can't exactly describe the full on process of the inbetweens, and where Revali and Link are gonna go from here, because...you have to read it for yourself! Heehee...but something I did think was fun was how these character views on the themes are revealed. Because you'll notice that, I never give exposition. Ever.
Ok well, let me rephrase that. I never give exposition scenes. I will never give you a big LOTR fancy wizard scene explaining the ins and outs of a character's question or the world's magic or whatever. I'm a very impatient Kip, and I value efficiency. Nonono, it's all about multi tasking, baby!
Chapter 1: Holes is divided into three parts.
Post 100 Years - Medoh (Establishes Ghost Rev/Bonk Head Link's view)
100 Years Ago - Flight Range (Establishes old Revalink views)
Post 100 years - Mark (Develops Ghost Rev/Bonk Head Link's view in contrast to who they once were)
I think the way that you structure flashbacks is incredible vital, as it's a very quick way to characterize people without having them say stuff like "I used to be like you, until I took an arrow to the knee" or whatever.
And with the main structure of the chapters and the fic as a whole is focus on their characters, that means I can hide whatever other stuff I want in those scenes, becuase you're too busy absorbing the fun character stuff to realizing I'm giving you boring exposition. Like for example:
Post 100 Years - Medoh and Mark
Foreshadowing for the end of the fic
Set up connection to Medoh with Revali
Link has defeated Windblight
Link has been visiting Revali every night for the past few days
Link has already met Kass and presumably Teba
Link doesn't have the Mastersword
Revali's Gale is still an ability that needs master and practice on Link's end
And that's just some of the stuff.
And see, the only reason I can efficiently give all of this information regarding character, and even exposition, is because of the theme. The themes make everything relevant, and everything circles and encompasses one another, so there's absolutely no wasted space. I mean don't even get me started on how it's gonna be to characterize the other characters around this
I don't wanna talk about the other characters too much either because that's spoilers, but you can probably take a gandar based on my notes.
And oh my god this is just on the theme of the faults that come with "soulmates" and "true love" and all that, and how even magical destined relationships still require work and effort, and that no one thing or person solves all your problems. And that's not even TOUCHING the shit on trauma and scars. I didn't think it was even possible for me to talk about botw without touching on that, ha. Ah well, I've been talking for too long.
Revalink has a lot o' writing potential so das pretty cool yeah, I am excite

BTS Reaction | Boyfriend Tag [Request]
Seokjin:
You couldn't even remember how this all started but you were sitting across from Jin during a VLive eating noodles while he was asking you questions about himself to see how well you knew him. Army was going insane for it because you'd been together for so long they wanted to see if you really knew Jin,
"Which university did I go to?" He asked right as you took a mouthful of noodles into your mouth, you swallowed them and wiped your mouth staring at him,
"Easy, Konkuk University and then Hanyang Cyber University." You smirked at him as he ticked off that you'd gotten another one right that he had written down,
"Next one." You giggled looking at him as he frowned, you'd gotten everything right so far which was no surprise considering you'd been dating for a while.
"What do I tell people my favourites movies are but what are they really?" He always changed what he told people his favourites were so you were struggling,
"You've been telling people it's horror lately but we both know you hide behind me when we watch them and I know your favourites are anything with Disney princesses." He wrote down that you were right again making you laugh as you took a drink of coffee and watched him,
"Languages?"
"Chinese, English, a little Japanese and of course, Korean." You smirked over at the camera and saw that the comments were going faster as you were getting question after question,
"When did I join BigHit?"
"2010 and you trained for four years." You pushed noodles into your mouth and he threw the pen and pad down onto the table biting into his own food,
"Do I know you enough?" You giggled looking at him as he playfully glared at you,
"You know me too well." You poked your tongue out at him and he turned to look at Army to see if they knew the answers as well which most of them did but the rest of them were too busy laughing about how pouty Jin was being about everything.
Yoongi:
Though he would never admit it Yoongi was liking this a lot more than he was putting out to the camera, he loved the fact that you made Youtube videos and that he got to feature in them, he loved that you always asked him to do videos with you when he wasn't working because he got to spend more time with you. Right now was a fan suggested video and it was to do the Boyfriend Tag with him everyone knew that you were together since there was a release about it in the magazines and online about your relationships,
"Easy one, what else do I want to do besides produce and make music?" You looked at him and then smiled,
"Radio DJ, which is why you're always doing your little VLive Fm's." You smiled and he smirked at you, he adored how well you knew him.
"Okay next one, Why am I named Suga and Agust D?" You were thinking on it for a second, you'd had that conversation a couple of days ago.
"Okay, Suga is because the first syllables are from shooting guard which was your position and then Agust D is Suga backwards with DT Because of Daegu Town." He stared at you with a smile on his lips, he was just getting more and more impressed by how well you knew him.
"My ideal date night?"
"Either a night in together, movies, a walk and something to eat or taking a huge nap together." You said as you looked at him, remembering your most recent date which was literally both of you falling asleep on the sofa watching a movie,
"How many hours of sleep do I get?"
"Five, because you're fucking weird and can't sleep more than that." You grumbled looking at him and then over at the camera,
"He won't even lay there and just cuddle me either." You pouted causing him to lean over and kiss your cheek,
"Shut up." He mumbled against your skin making you giggle at him.
(yall dont understand the harships i go through when i see multiple gifs i wanna use)
Hoseok:
It was Jungkook's idea, you were all bored sitting inside of a hotel room since it was pouring it down with rain and none of you could go out. Now it was a test to see who knew Hobi better between you and Yoongi and you were currently winning which was surprising you since Yoongi and Hoseok had been hanging around together a lot longer than you had,
"What did I get a bronze medal for?" You looked at Yoongi who was still thinking on it,
"Tennis match," You said to Hoseok who smirked writing down a point for you on the whiteboard that they had,
"This is all fresh in your memory that's the only reason you know it." Yoongi chuckled looking at you as you pretended to be offended.
"What company did I originally audition for?"
"Jyp." You got out just before Yoongi did and the boys let out a chorus of 'Oh's' making Yoongi glare at them playfully, you giggled at them and then looked at Hobi.
"Make them harder baby." You whined looking at Yoongi who was already struggling enough he didn't need them to be harder.
"What school did I go to?" You and Yoongi fell into silence and stared at one another, you knew it it was right on the tip of your tongue.
"Collaborative point?" You questioned and Yoongi nodded as you tried to think of the answer together,
"Isn't it..." You leant over and whispered into his ear and he nodded,
"Academy for Rap and dance in Gwangju?" You both asked in sync looking at Hoseok who was laughing at you both,
"Yes, last one...Name of my old street dance team?"
"Neuron." You shouted out making the boys all laugh as you won the round and started dancing around the hotel room,
"They cheated!" Yoongi yelled at you looking at you and Hoseok as you started laughing together
Namjoon:
"Jin this is stupid, why do we have to see who knows him better it's clearly me." You laughed as Jin got ready for another round of questions from Namjoon who looked like he was getting bored of the game that Jin had arranged for all three of you.
"You're just saying that because you're losing." You stared at Jin and then at Namjoon who had a point sheet in his hands,
"She's winning actually...She's ahead by four points." Jin stared at Namjoon who was staring back at him,
"Next four questions are worth two points each." You agreed to the terms and got ready to answer,
"Where did I study?" You slapped your knee meaning it as your turn to answer first.
"New Zeland." You answered looking to your side to see Jin sighing and throwing his head back,
"I'll take one point for each one I get right, you take four if you get one right." You giggled and he pushed you softly,
"Deal."
"When did I release Mono?" You gave Jin a couple of seconds before you slapped your knees,
"October 23rd 2018."
"How do you remember the exact date?!" Jin yelled giving up and looking at you, you were giggling as he started to talk so fast he was rapping again.
"Last one!" Namjoon yelled making you both calm down,
"Ideal date?"
"No, new question. She'll know that easily." You nodded in agreement and Namjoon thought about another question,
"When did I change my stage name?"
"2017...November?" You said looking at him with a raised eyebrow he nodded, Jin threw down his pieces of paper and walked out of the dorm living room giving up and leaving you and Namjoon alone.
"You owe me ice cream!!" You screamed after him listening out as he slammed his bedroom door.
Jimin:
Jimin had been binge-watching couple videos all week and he decided that he wanted to do one like it on VLive with you and because Army loved you both together they decided to agree to watch it finding entertaining with how far Jimin had gotten into it, he'd made a banner for the backdrop, had a buzzer for you to push and even had helplines ready in case you needed them. He was treating it like a little gameshow but so far you were doing amazingly and hadn't used any lifeline, or needed help from Army because you knew him that well.
"Final four questions," He said to the phone looking back at you with a smile,
"What school did I transfer from and which one did I go to?" He questioned looking at you and glancing over at the phone to see Army already answering,
"You went to Busan High School of Arts and went to Korea Arts High School with Tae." He cheered and moved onto the next question,
"What are some of my hobbies outside of BTS?"
"Being with friends and family, reading comics and romance novels that you don't tell anyone about and staying on your phone for hours." He stared at you as you outted him about the secret romance book collection he was growing but moved on,
"What was my old motto?"
"Something like 'Let's keep trying till we can't do it anymore?" He nodded and moved onto the last question, all of them had been relatively easy...or for you at least they had but you had been together for a long time.
"What am I most confident about with myself?"
"Your eyes, but you should be confident about everything because you're perfect." He pushed a button on his phone which filled the room with fake clapping and cheering and you giggled as he brought you close to his chest and hugged you lovingly.
Taehyung:
It was all his idea, he'd been watching some videos online where he watched couples seeing if they knew each other well enough and now you were sitting on the sofa quizzing back and forth about one another,
"Who's my biggest role model?" He asked looking over at you with a smirk, he hadn't spoken about it much but you remembered him mentioning it once in front of the boys,
"Your dad, you said you wanted to be like him. Someone who listens and takes care of his children encourages them about their future and helps them." He smiled at you and nodded along with you telling you that you were right, he answered your question next and it was his turn again.
"Who are some of my closest friends besides the boys?"
"Park Bogum, Sungjae, Minjae, Baekhyun, Mark, and Minho....Tae you have too many friends for me to count." You grumbled looking at him while he laughed.
"Okay, okay...What would I do if I wasn't an Idol?"
"Photographer, or a painter...You've never said you wanted to be a painter but you should, you're really good at it." You complimented reaching across to the bowl of popcorn which was sitting on his lap, you put some in your mouth and he copied you.
"When did I get Yeontan?"
"2017 around December time." He stared at you as you fired off every question he gave you with a smile on your face.
"I just know you too well baby, now what's my reward?" You giggled looking at him, he slowly moved the bowl onto the table and kissed you roughly.
"Me. I'm the reward." You giggled at him as he continued to kiss you.
Jungkook:
Having a personal Twitter account to keep up with Army was fun, you spent a lot of time on there with Jungkook looking through accounts that you loved and showed him when you interacted with certain Army.
"What if Jungkook and Y/n did a twitter video asking questions about one another?" You read out looking at the phone and Jungkook stared up at you thinking it was a great idea,
"We should! It'll show how well we know one another." You stared at him thinking about it for a moment,
"Okay!" You got questions ready and he went first, sitting in front of you as you got the camera ready.
"Quickfire round, four questions each that's it." He told you as he took out the piece of paper he was holding with his questions already written down on.
"Okay, I'm ready." You told him looking at the phone and smiling,
"Favourite time of year?"
"When it's sunny but not too hot." He smiled and nodded moving onto the next one,
"What do I have a blackbelt in?"
"Taekwondo." He smirked and moved on,
"Do you know how many tattoos I have?" There were so many that kept appearing you were losing count,
"17?" You guessed looking at him and he nodded his head from side to side,
"About that yeah, okay why did I join BigHit?"
"You fell in love with Joonie and decided that was why you wanted to join." He chuckled moving over and kissing you on the lips, you'd edit it out later not wanting to get into trouble for having skinship online. Army loved it and started asking you to do more videos like that together, and it developed into a regular thing where you would film a video together every friday.

Remember when: Chris Evans
Over 2k words... which a hell of a lot for me. i dont really know what i was doing with this one but i had fun writing it. angst? yeah kinda
It was never Chris' fault, he was so caring and full of love but that was just who he was. It was that you were in a relationship that felt forced and that was moving way too fast and way too public for both of your liking. It was tough on you where as before you would happily go places together, baseball games, go out for food get a drink, walk the dogs. But now? Everyone was watching over analyzing the headlines were ridiculous people conspiring about an inevitable break up because you both looked stressed.
"Hey" you sigh, putting the groceries down on kitchen island and kicking off your shoes. "Im home!" No answer. You take your time unpacking and putting everything away neatly in the fridge. You shut the door and look at the polaroid picture stuck on by a mickey mouse fridge magnet. A picture of you and Chris from when you were younger at disney in front of the epcot ball, vanilla ice cream allover your faces. You smile, you couldn't remember much from the trip because you were both only 8 but you did remember telling each other you were going to be best friends forever.
"Did you get stuff for waffles?" Chris questions, walking in only in his gray sweatpants.
"Yep, I got whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries and chocolate syrup" you tell him, putting the picture back up.
"God I love you" he mumbles, kissing your cheek and getting a bottle of water out the fridge.
"Do you remember this?" You question.
"I remember you crying on the tower of terror"
"No i didn't” you say defensively”
“Yes you did, you didn't stop crying for like half an hour!” he laughs
“At least i didn't piss my pants!" You fire back, laughing.
"Hey! I didn't piss my pants" he groans.
"Yes you did!"
"No it was a tiny bit" he stresses.
"So you pissed"
"Y/N stop" he laughs. "I'm still embarrassed" his cheeks pink.
"Shut up pissypants" you giggle
"Y/n!" he drags out, pouting.
"What are you gonna do tell your mum?" You question.
"I might" he shrugs, finishing his water.
"Oh please do" you laugh.
"Stop i was like 5"
"We were 8!"
"So! You know what" he points trying to hold back his laughter. "I didn't forget when we had that sleepover and you had that sex dream about Jackson and you woke me up sleep talking" your cheeks burn.
"Oh my god shut up" you cover your face.
"Oooo Jackson" he says in a high pitch voice.
"It wasn't a sex dream" you stress. "Fine. Remember when..." you trail off, you lock eyes, both widening knowing you're thinking of the same thing.
"Dont!"
"When you had sex with Jessica and you only lasted 20 seconds!"
"We both know that isn't the case anymore" he winks trying to play it cool but you can read him like a book and the pained expression on his face let you know that he was dying on the inside, thinking back.
"How old were you again?" You tease
"Baby, stop it" he begs.
"Okay, i'll stop" you stomach hurt from laughing so much. "I wonder if Jessica remembers?" You ponder walking over to give him a hug and to tease him even more.
"You're the worst" he mumbles against your hair letting out a little laugh.
"I heard she has kids now, so does Jackson," he says quietly. You press your lips together pulling away.
"I think i'm going to go take a shower before you make those waffles" you say quietly, the entire mood shifting. He just nods. That was the thing it was great, brilliant even, when you joked around and just hung out until actual relationship stuff came up, like the subject of kids. The plan was always for yours and Chris's kids to be best friends just like you two were because both of your moms were. The plan never was to have kids together, the plan was never to start dating in the first place.
"Can I join you?" Chris questions snapping you back to reality. You really had no clue if Chris felt the same about this whole thing.
"Another time?"
"I promise I'll last longer than 30 seconds" he smiles.
"Who said anything about that?" You question biting back a smile. You could never say no. He was just mind blowing in bed, on the couch, on and against the counter top, in the back seat of the car, the shower was no exception. In fact this entire thing started because you both decided, wine drunk, that you should sleep together. You were both fresh out of relationships, both sad and horny. And when people saw you leaving the guest room they assumed you were secretly together, so you both decided to give it a try. You were just 'testing the waters' and to start with it was perfect for everything you could want but now? You just wanted your best friend but if you did break up would there be a friendship?
“Are you being serious right now Chris?” you were so angry.
“What?” he questions confused. Is he being for real?
“In that interview you said you were hoping to have kids in the near future!”
“Whats the issue, we’ve been together for over a year y/n, we aren’t getting any younger!” he stresses. “I do want kids, and you want kids but what is your problem? Is it me?” he questions, he looked heart broken. “Why don’t you want a family with me?”
“I’m just not ready yet Chris, i don’t want to rush things” you lie… well was it a lie? You wanted to wait and see if this was even going to work out.
"I’ve known you all your life i know when you're lying! Do you know how embarrassing it is when there's pictures of your girlfriend ducking out the way so i don’t kiss you? Its fucking embarrassing y/n you need to figure out what you want from me because i’m starting to think we both have very different priorities!" Chris shouts, you reach for his arm as he tries to leave. "Just give me some space"
At night you lay on opposite ends of the bed despite both of you being cuddlers.
"Whats on your mind?" You question, watching him chew at his lip.
"Nothing just tired" he lies.
"I know when you're lying" you sit up.
"And i know when you’re lying" he snaps. "I’m sorry" he quickly apologizes before wiping his eyes. "I’m sorry that i don’t make you happy" his voice was unsteady.
"You do make me happy" you crawl across the bed and pull him into a tight embrace, his head resting on your shoulder.
"You can be honest with me" he mumbles, running his fingers through your hair. "I see you pull your hand away when i go to hold it, i see how you cringe when i call you baby" he sounded heart broken.
"Chris" you whisper, your own heart breaking because you knew exactly where this was going.
"No don’t lie, i know you hate that we cant go anywhere with out people taking pictures and over analyzing everything we do. I see how you dodge the subject of babies and i know you want one" he sighs. "But not with me and that’s okay... I’m sorry but i don’t think i can do this anymore. I love you y/n i really do but i’m not in love with you" he lifts his head up to look at you, his eyes already red and puffy
"I-I don’t want to lose you" Your eyes sting and he just sighs, you felt as though you couldn’t breath. Even though you knew this would be the outcome it didnt hurt any less.
"You wont" he assures.
"What? Are we just going to look back in 10 years and be like wow remember the time you ate my coochie for like an hour and we pretended to love each other" you try to lighten the mood despite the heavy flow of tears from the both of you.
"You really do have a way with words y/n, but exactly" he forces a smile, despite his cheeks being stained with fresh tears. "Or remember the time when i lasted way long than 30 seconds" you let out a shaky laugh.
"I cant believe you’re breaking up with me" you mumble.
"If you want, you can break up with me?" He questions
"Remember the time i dumped your ass?"
"I do i cried like a baby just like you did when we watched marley and me for the first time" he reminisces
"Hey" you nudge his shoulder playfully. "You cried at that movie too"
"I did" he frowns. "Its a sad movie"
"I know bub. But what do we do now?"
"I don’t know. Do you want to spend some time apart?" He asks and you shrug. Usually after a break up you would find your self at Chris's house for a week or to or vice versa.
"I- I just broke up with a really amazing guy and i really need my best friend right now" you start to cry all over again. "Because i don’t want to lose him"
"You’ll never lose me" Chris whispers, now holding you in his arms rubbing circles on your back. "I love you"
"Ouch too soon" you joke wiping your tears again.
"I love you, platonically" he corrects. "Now? Do you want to watch back to the future or lion king?" Both of them were yours and Chris’s go to films when growing up. "I’m going to go get us some snacks"
"Its 2 am" you remind him.
"So? It will be like old times" he smiles. "Only this time my dad wont come in and shout at us for talking too loud"
"Remember when we were playing on the playstation at like 4am and your dad came in and split us up so we would actually sleep"
"Yeah" he smiles, his eyes bright. "I had to sleep on the couch and you got my bed but you come and got on the other couch so you weren’t alone because you were scared of the dark"
"It wasn’t me who was scared of the dark it was you"
"Maybe was both of us... maybe it was me" he laughs.
"I cant wait to tell everyone i dumped captain america" you laugh.
Whilst it wasn’t what you wanted you both took a step back from each other you moved out and got an apartment the other end of town and hardly ever saw Chris because he was always filming but you still got to see dodger all of the time, watching him when his family couldn’t. Sometimes you’re relationship gets brought up in interviews and he just smiles and shrugs.
"People say marrying or even just dating your best friend is the best thing you could do, but when you've been best friends since you were born it doesn’t really work. Its like we dated because we owed it to our self and our families to see if we would work out. We didn’t. That’s okay and thankfully we are still friends. Maybe its not actually mutual and that i’m just harassing her and y/n is too nice to tell me to tell me to leave her alone. please hang out with me y/n lets go get food, come watch a movie" he jokes. "No" he shrugs. "We are still best friends"
You were sat in the passenger seat of Chris’s car as he speeds down the road, the radio blaring.
"If you don’t stop with this crazy driving you’re going to send me into labor a month early" you tell him.
"That’s the plan i cant wait to meet my niece" he smiles stopping at a red light, he reaches over and rests his hand on your large bump. You groan as she starts to kick, it was something about Chris's voice she loved.
"She better not replace me" you joke.
"I guess you can come to our movie nights" he smiles. You were currently on your way to a restaurant out of town, you were craving the food and your fiance Matthew was at work so Chris offered to take you. Your laughter dies down and you just listen to the radio. Moral of the story playing, you could help but laugh to you self quietly looking over at Chris who was in deep thought. Was he thinking the same thing as you? Or did this some almost perfectly describe those 18 months you were together?
(btw my requests are open so feel free to send anything in)

@wxlfstxrx and @siriuslyqueer are my best bro’s and always support my crazy ideas with no hesitation. 🙏🏻

Dumo panics. Celeste is disappointed. Tyler’s mom is thirsty. Logan has heard too much. Leo is scolded. Kuny is hungover. Nado has been dumped. He is also the king of nicknames. Walker brags. We spend another Sunday in the bat cave. I want to live there now.

Nado: ordered some French fries and shakes now. In season. So naughty. Also We’re not watching monsters inc again. You’ve got a weird obsession with that film. Moana or the Scottish one.
Kuny: rude. Ok. Just bring food and blanket.
——
“You’re such an ungrateful roomie, scoot over you big lump. You’re hogging my blanket”
“No am not. U love me - DONT TOUCH MY CURLY FRIES”
“Funny you can speak English when people are stealing your food. Stop yelling. I don’t love you. I tolerate you”
“Shut up. Funny chicken, look like peanut When he drink”
“I’m telling him you said that”
——
Did they build a massive blanket fort in their epic cinema/game room? You bet. Does drunk Leo look like the chicken from Moana? I think he does.
