#i like the idea of mac being hot and shit but it's kinda funny if he doesnt actually get around

[sunscall]

what if. what if the reason they've never shown mac kissing a guy... is because he's never even actually been with a guy. like all of mac's talk about having so much gay sex is really just him being delusional about being a successful gay when he in fact has zero rizz, just like how he brags about doing backflips all the time but he never actually does it

AEROSPACE ENGINEERING CAMP DAY 2: Gahhhh today was interesting. When I went to breakfast I was kinda stressed cause I had no idea who to sit with so I just asked to sit next to this random girl who ended up being named Saranya (I think) (also this ended up being a great stroke of luck) and she said I could and mentioned that she was chemical engineering and that some other chem people would be sitting at her table. So eventually the whole table was full and I was diagonal to her, across from this kid called Naga, and next to a kid named Jonny, and those two were aerospace. So there was some socializing and stuff and when breakfast ended I went to the first lecture thing with Jonny, Naga, and this kid maybe named Colin? Anyway, the four of us stuck together for most of the day and talking to them was pretty nice and friendly and chill. I particularly talked to Jonny but it was a good group thing and I was feeling very included and not socially outcasted and people asked me questions and stuff which was good. We had lunch and sat in the nest which is this comfy room and played apples to apples with others until this guy came to get aerospace students and take them to another meeting thing. Me and the three guys and a couple others looked at biochemistry stuff which was random, and after that me and Jonny got Starbucks and both freaked out for a second cause we thought it wouldn’t come before we had to go and I joked with others about how my mocha was basically chocolate milk. After we went to another lecture thing that had some down time. The conversation was just more chill and natural than with Luke since there were four of us and I could also just like make eye contact with Jonny or smile randomly and stuff and it was normal. After the lecture and flight sims and stuff the four of us went and got dinner and sat at the same table as for breakfast which filled up again. At the end of dinner (5:30ish) me and Jonny both went to look for bathrooms and then when we came back Naga and Colin were gone which was kinda bad so we looked for them and chatted and eventually stood to wait for the bus since today we were all going to Mass street. Eventually Colin and Naga pulled up and we got on the bus which was insanely crowded with like fifty or something kids and it was comical to say the least (photos below). Also actually the camp isn’t all to-be-seniors, Jonny is going into eleventh grade. So we got there and got ice cream, where Luke said hi to me and we got to talk for a couple minutes in line but it was slightly silly since he was with another guy and I was with a group. We talked about biochem and Jonny also chatted a little but eventually I turned back towards my four. After, we went to some stores but no one really got stuff and I was starting to feel the fatigue of being around guys all the time like just immaturity yknow. Naga was just like being kinda mean towards socially inept kids in the groupme like bro lay off. After shopping we went to the park where I got to talk to Jonny and the others a little more and I learned more about how Jonny does drums and is in a band that does actual gigs and went to band Nationals and I talked about how I had considered doing drums and he told me I should, it was more personal than the convo from the rest of the day. On the playground my 4 kinda subdivided back and forth and walked around and did random shit, it was nicer than shopping but still very hot. So eventually we got back on the awful bus and it was funny. Also me and Jonny talked about music and it was kinda funny, I talked about how I liked nineties bands and he was trying to find a musician we both liked and told me not to apologize for not liking the same artists as him cause he would say a person like Rihanna or Steve Lacy and then I’d be like no I’m not really a fan lol. After I asked about older bands he said he liked Fleetwood Mac and I said I did too and mentioned the song Future Games. Then at home I changed and then went out to this couch where Saranya and Jonny and Naga and a few others were.

So around like 8:30 we played some Uno and the vibe was just kinda different and preppy and fratty and not really it but it was okay. I just felt like I was very much faking socialness and didn’t talk to people all that much for the rest of the night even tho I was around them. One of the people I was with was this batshit crazy blond kid called “Mortar” which I had heard him be called but he explained it was cause he and a friend had put a mortar in a porta potty some days ago at some Colorado thing and had blown up shit all over some random middle aged man. Also Naga was like throwing this football and starting shit with random kids and at one point Jonny left and the guys were talking about how he was “rizzing up sophomore girls” which was not it. There was just this rowdy annoying vibe that I wasn’t rocking with like I would’ve rather just took the football outside and continued more relaxed friendly talk. It was just boring once people seemed like they were trying to be like a cool group of teens, the guys wanted to be in college so bad. Eventualky Naga texted Jonny from my phone and he came back and then the whole group went downstairs and I basically just watched people play Mario kart and didn’t talk to anyone, very meh group of preppy girls and boys. Then we had to go up and I said bye to Jonny, etc etc. So today was a big success socially but still meh in some ways. I hope tomorrow I can just eat breakfast and chill with my group of four again and there isn’t pressure socially. But hey, it’s probably a good thing, I ought to practice being popular and social and cool cause life and college and stuff. Seriously tho guys chill tf out this is fucking engineering camp

ITS FINE!! TOMORROW WILL BE FUN!!

V V V (Photos a la Jonny (also Naga is in the back of the third photo standing to the left of the tall kid in the yellow shirt))

[jonkentt]

we could move in together

or Bucky suffering but make it crack****

Bucky drops onto the couch with a contented sigh. He stretches out, hands behind his head, smirking like he’s truly done something to be proud of. Sam’s coming over for dinner and finally, finally Bucky’s got a plan. They’ve been alternating these datenights dinners and whenever it’s Sam’s turn he cooks. Big batches of stuff he says he wants to make for Sara and the boys if it’s any good. Course, it’s always good. Bucky loves Sam’s cooking. He loves showing up much too early so he can watch Sam cook. Sam gets in fights with pots and pans, curses under his breath whenever he measures something wrong. You’d think everything he made would be a disaster but somehow, no matter how many times Sam swears that internet recipes are the bane of his existence, the food is delicious. Which makes Bucky feel like an asshole for ordering take-out on his turn every single time.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to cook for Sam. Boy, has he tried. But how can he tell if anything’s edible? Nothing compares to Sam’s cooking. So Bucky’ll make something, taste a spoonful, and decide it’s complete shit just in time for Sam to show up. There’s been a couple of close calls when Sam asked why his apartment smelled like pasta if they were eating deli sandwiches. (“It smells burnt in here, Buck.” “Ha! Yeah, I think my neighbor, uh, had some trouble.”) But tonight, Bucky has a plan. He found a recipe that was supposed to be “fool proof” and practiced making it yesterday. Sure it’s a mac-n-cheese casserole but there were several different cheeses in it so… that should count for something. He had a dish waiting to be put it in the oven when Sam arrived.

“I think we got this all tied up, don’t you Alpine?” Bucky says to the rabbit as she makes her way across the room to settle on his feet. Alpine’s favorite place to sit is on Bucky’s feet, which he thinks is adorable. He considers cuddling Alpine on his lap but Sam will be here any minute and he doesn’t need to be covered in bunny hair. Bucky as some class. The self-satisfied grin is still plastered to his face when Sam let’s himself into his apartment.

“Sam! You gotta explain this show to me! TV doesn’t make sense anymore.” His smile falters when he turns to see Sam crossing the room in long strides, some kind of burning intent clear on his face. “Uh—” Sam lands on the couch turned towards him. Bucky is keenly aware of the lack of personal space Sam has left between them. Sam’s knee is practically in his lap. Bucky sits there with his mouth half open, struck by the intensity of Sam’s stare. He doesn’t look angry, so that’s good at least. But what the fuck?

“Did you tell Sarah we were moving in together?”

Bucky blinks. “Wha—”

“At the cookout. Sarah just asked me if we’d found a place yet. What the hell? You can’t just tell my sister that we’re moving in together and not let me know!”

Bucky lets out a startled laugh. “The cookout? That was weeks ago! I’m sure she was just messing with you—”

“So you were joking?” Again, Bucky’s smile slides off his face. What is happening? Sam is not kidding right now. He might very actually be pissed off. But it was a joke? …wasn’t it?

“I…” Bucky trails off. So he’s been daydreaming about living with Sam. But that’s not what Bucky tells himself. He’s just picturing their dinners together at different times of day. Like in the mornings. Sam in pajamas is a quintessential element of these daydreams.

“Were you serious, Bucky? I’m trying to imagine that you wouldn’t just run your mouth off around my sister as a joke.” Sam is pinning him with this intense expression that Bucky can’t figure out and it’s taking all his self control not to squirm.

“I guess… it wasn’t.”

Sam keeps up the laser eyes till Bucky can practically feel two points boring through his skull. Finally, Sam sighs.

“Man…” Sam says, slowly shaking his head. He takes Bucky’s hand and holds it to his chest, just like they had outside Sarah’s house after Bucky confessed an overdue apology. But now, Bucky’s hand is literally against Sam’s chest and he can feel Sam’s heart beating. The thud, thud makes his stomach flip. Bucky stares at their hands. Sam is so close and that’s making him forget how to breathe. Maybe he should be looking somewhere else. Somewhere other than Sam’s hand gripping his. Listening to something other than Sam’s heartbeat. When Bucky meets Sam’s eyes again he regrets it instantly. This is 100x worse than before. This is tender.

“If you’re going to do this, you gotta be sure.” Sam’s voice is warm. His brown eyes are warm. His hand is warm. His chest is— you get the idea. Bucky’s brain still isn’t processing what the hell Sam is talking about. “Cause I won’t have you fuckin’ around with my heart.” Wait- what? “I don’t have the time or the mental space to deal with that. You understand?” Bucky would literally rather be in cryo right now. “Bucky.” The fuck does Sam expect him to say? If he starts moving his lips then words should form eventually.

“I wouldn’t do…” This is a struggle. Sam raises an eyebrow.

“You wouldn’t do what?”

“Fuck around.” It comes out barely a whisper. Sam sighs and Bucky thinks he’s actually going to die.

“What are we talking about, Buck? How you wouldn’t lie to my sister? Or how—”

“Yeah! Sure! I don’t know!” Bucky has class. He swears to god he used to have class. “I wouldn’t lie to Sarah! Yeah, I do want to live with you. It’s kinda the only thing I think about. But I didn’t know how to tell YOU that!” There’s a grin spreading across Sam’s face and it’s making Bucky feel things. “And I wouldn’t fuck around with your heart! That’s literally the last thing I would ever do! Your heart is very important to me and I would…!” Whatever courage he had is disappearing fast. “…take care…” Dear god almighty does Sam have to do that with his face? “…of it.”

Sam is smiling like the actual sun. And Bucky is burning to a crisp under a magnifying glass.

Sam leans back with a satisfied “hrmph.” He drops Bucky’s hand and stands up. Bucky involuntarily leans into the empty space like Sam left some kind of gravitational pull. What the fuck just happened? Bucky looks at Alpine. The rabbit is sitting on her hind legs beside him, looking up at him curiously and twitching her nose.

“So what’s for dinner? Take-out again?” If it could reach, Bucky’s jaw would drop to the floor. Sam looks like he’s trying not to laugh.

“That’s it?!!”

“What’s it? You forget to order a pizza or somethin?” Sam takes a few steps toward the kitchen and Bucky jumps off the couch.

“Sam. I hate you.”

“Wow. That hurts, Bucky. I thought my heart was important to you.”

“I—!” Bucky flails his arms around. Sam is grinning in that stupidly adorable irresistible way of his. The situation is hopeless. How is Bucky supposed to think when Sam is being this cute? And now he knows that Bucky wants to live with him? Disastrous. “I made you dinner!”

Sam looks surprised, maybe even a little touched. “Really?”

“Yes, really!” Bucky pushes past him on his way into the kitchen, overly aware of how their shoulders brush. Bucky pulls the casserole out of the fridge and transfers it to the pre-heated oven. Now that he’s not looking at Sam, the thought of meeting his gaze again makes Bucky feel queasy. Instead he decides to lean over the oven and stare at its digital clock. A perfect excuse to avoid those obnoxiously beautiful brown eyes for the next 20 minutes.

“What is it?”

“Casserole.”

Sam laughs. “You realize there’s like a million different kinds of casseroles, right?”

“Macaroni,” Bucky mumbles.

“Sounds promising. You’ve got beer somewhere?” Bucky mumbles some more because how can he admit now that he went searching for Sam’s favorite hard lemonade that’s annoyingly hard to get in New York? He hears Sam open the fridge. Too late. “Oh my god, you found this stuff here?!” The distinct crack of a can opening punctuates Sam’s excitement. “You’re the best, man.”

Bucky could say something snarky. Really, he should at least try. But his ears are burning and so is his face and goddammit why is this happening. Sam’s silent, clearly waiting for a comeback. Bucky starts to sweat. He hears Sam come up behind him. What is breathing? Surely it’s a non-essential function. Then Sam presses himself to Bucky’s back and wraps his perfect hunky arms around his waist. Bucky’s hearts skips at least five beats when he feels Sam’s warm breath on his ear.

“You just gonna stare at the clock then, huh?”

“Ye—“ Bucky clears his throat. “Yeah.”

“Mmm, okay,” Sam hums and rests his chin on Bucky’s shoulder, obviously with no intention of showing mercy.

“What are you doing?” Bucky’s voice is much higher than he cares to admit.

“Staring with you.” Bucky swallows. He can’t do this for another 18 minutes. “You gonna cook for me when we live together?”

WHAT. Bucky’s brain is hot and spinning like a clothes dryer but it’s his thoughts that are tumbling. Yeah, he’s definitely sweating a lot now. Bucky ducks his head, not realizing that would be a terrible idea. Sam drops a kiss on the exposed back of his neck. So this is it then. This is how it ends. Bucky is going to pass out or die or both.

“How much longer can you hold your breath before it becomes a problem?” God, Sam is such a smug asshole. “I don’t wanna scrape you off the kitchen floor before dinner.”

Bucky tries to inhale slowly, but it’s shaky- of fucking course it is. “I really hate you,” is all he can manage to whisper.

“Ya know, that’s funny,” Sam purrs. Literally purrs because he clearly wants Bucky to suffer. “Cause I could swear that you actually have a huge, embarrassing, all-consuming crush on me.”

Fuck right off, Sam Wilson, you perfect fucking prick, is what Bucky thinks. But somehow, unforgivably, what he says is, “You have really beautiful eyes, Sam.”

That startles a laugh out of Sam. “Why thank you, Bucky! But it’s kinda hard to believe you really mean that from the way you’re so adamantly not looking at me.”

“You know I mean it. Always accusing me of having a staring problem.”

“Still… you could convince me.” Sam’s tone is a challenge. Fuck this.

“Sam, if I look at you, I’ll either die or have to kiss you.”

“You’re so dramatic,” Sam chuckles. “You can kiss me, but dying right now would be inconvenient.”

That’s it! Bucky turns on him. “Inconvenient? In- fucking -convenient?!”

“Well, yeah, you didn’t say how long the casserole should be in the oven for.”

“Get out of my apartment!”

“Make me!”

Bucky grabs Sam’s face in both hands and kisses him hungrily. Fuck mac-n-cheese. He’s having Sam for dinner.

[pikaflute]

hi, sudafed cleared my sinuses long enough to think so here’s a giant post about most of my charles headcanons

Playlist

OH btw here’s my 4 hour and 23 minute playlist for Charles. Enjoy. Yes I know I’m insane: https://open.spotify.com/user/pikaflute24/playlist/4DBxaaxbqsmJt9Fvl8AgwZ?si=OcXlYCdFRzOhuKa4p_HdUQ

General Headcanons

He was born November 24 1965. He’s currently 56, but I usually write him in his late 40s in most fanfic and content I make. So there’s this middle aged man....

He has hazel eyes. Sometimes they look green, sometimes brown. Sometimes they’ll be white but that’s when he’s using his magic so mind your business

Gear brand over his heart >:)c

:) i think he has piercings and tattoos, a skull (dead man teehee) on his upper arm, a tattoo of a date (the date pickles and him first met TEEHEE) on his left arm also has a tattoo on his arm of the day he “died” on his right. had his ears pierced when he was a teen.

Has a sweet tooth so hard. Smuggles in treats into the drawers of his desk just to snack on during the day and has a mini fridge just filled with ice cream and also sorts of other goodies. He loves brownies and cookies the most

Likes to work out and keep himself in shape. it takes his mind off of stressful things like work and the boys, and just take his morning practice sparring and doing various exercises in the mordhaus gym. 

he’s uh also very flexible so he does yoga a lot when he exercises. don’t. look too deep into that

cannot cook to save his life. he almost burned mordhaus down trying to make himself a sandwich

he can play guitar! he used to play it more often when he was younger but he rarely has the time to play it nowadays. when he does get to play it, it’s usually in private (and mainly songs by dethklok), or it’s to show off to a certain lead guitarist that yes he is playing that solo wrong

he’s ambidextrous but prefers using his right hand. he’ll use his left hand to spar in order to go easy on his opponents because hes a smug cunt

he’s 5′7 but intimidation factor adds a couple inches doesn’t it

has a scorpion named princess as a pet. he lets her sit on his desk sometimes and it scares the shit out of dethklok which makes charles laugh on the inside

hes also a cat person. one time toki brought a cat home and it settled on charles’ lap and he almost cried

loves to be a smug asshole and relishes in it. will not take shit from anyone, especially from some asshole who is trying to pull one over on him

he has no idea how social media works at all. will print memes out to show to dethklok, he’s very fond of cat memes specifically (i can has cheeseburger type beat)

he has no idea what any internet memes means he isn’t going to start learning. he is going to misuse internet phrases. are you boys, ah, finding the imposter? [cue five groans from dethklok]

knows a lot of languages. not a comprehensive list but: french, swedish, norwegian, spanish, italian, japanese, chinese, german, russian and korean

is very competitive. scarily competitive. once he starts losing in smash or mario kart all hell will break lose

very bad at showing emotions or affection, when he gets compliments he gets all red and quiet and mumbles a thank you. 

weird about being touched as well and will usually avoid it unless it’s with someone he trusts

speaking of, his love language is acts of service :)c

hates being called charlie or chuck, unless the right person calls him it ;)

he’s autistic. was nonverbal for most of his life and only talked to certain people, or anyone at all. he stims with his hands and uses his pens to fidget.

has a collection of novelty socks. he likes the ones that have polka dots or stripes

sleeps with a garfield plushie he had since he was younger. it helps him with the nightmares

when any of the boys need help sleeping (usually toki or pickles), he’ll sleep with them in his bed. after dying he had trouble sleeping some nights, so dethklok returned the favor and all piled up in his bed and helped him sleep. he didnt have nightmares after that night

hes nearsighted, and prefers to wear glasses over contacts

lactose intolerant, hes still eating mac n cheese and paying the price

metalhead but pretends to not be just to mess with his boys

crippling addiction to match 3 games. also loves to play minecraft.

overly self sacrificial. puts ones he love needs before his own, results in himself being very isolated and distant from those he cares about because he’s afraid of hurting them

his favorite colors are black and purple

coffee kinda guy. black coffee or bust

has a lot of cute novelty mugs to put his coffee in. he ones from places where dethklok tours, dethklok official ones (the only two that aren’t adorned with spikes), some cat themed ones, a couple that have ties and math references, and one from his boys that says “most brutal manager”. he drinks out of that last one the most

he has a couple of grey hairs and wrinkles, but he keeps them because they remind him that he’s human. also pickles said old men were hot but you didnt hear that from me

likes to play chess but he can never find a good opponent. all the klokateers are too scared if they win and dethklok is too distracted to ever play with him or they end up losing to quickly if charles plays against them

really wants kids. he babies his sister’s sons and daughters a TON (uncle charles always brings the best gifts :) ) and also treats toki like his own son in a way. toki doesnt mind, he really appreciates the love

speaking of, toki does call charles dad once and it makes charles cry for like. a week and a half

his favorite dethklok song is the gears :)

he likes to collect knives as a side hobby, his favorite of his collection is a sleek black one with skulls on the handle

he has a motorcycle and likes to drive it around sometimes to just be alone with himself. it’s all black with a red gear on it

lightweight but only if he drinks the amount dethklok drinks. can hold his alcohol fairly well if he drinks like a sensible human, prefers brandy and wine

he can smoke cigars to be sexy for me and me ONLY

likes to read in his spare time. he likes mystery novels and science fiction

he has soft spot for cheesy sitcoms, they’re his guilty pleasure

his favorite youtuber is lockpickinglawyer. yours should be too

usually sleeps in only his boxers but will wear a shirt if its’s cold. he tends to sleep on his side (also wants to be the little spoon when cuddled but he will never admit that)

takes vacations sometimes away from the boys despite his worry that something will go wrong (it will!). many of his vacations are usually going to visit his family and going to the shore with them, or travelling to somewhere new for a change (cue charles being a yakuza substory on his one vacation per year)

he can sew pretty well. learned from his mom and used to sew the whole his sister use to put through her soccer uniform.

can also do makeup, and usually does it for one of the boys of there’s no one else around to help

bites his lip when he’s nervous. which is a lot

likes chococat and gudetama. he’s a man of tastes

laughs really loud if you catch him off guard. he snorts sometimes too. he’s embarrassed by it, but i think its’ cute

loves law and order obviously 

he likes men

has a lot of pent up rage. very good at compressing it. sometimes

as high priest, he stays up very late trying to decipher the ancient prophecies that dethklok needed to fulfill. he doesnt sleep very much when he starts out because he misses home, so the band makes him come back (or else)

also as high priest he becomes more intune with magic granted to him after he died and he mainly uses his magic to protect his boys when they go back to being a band. also to fuck with them

the band he managed before dethklok was a band named savior who said they were a metal band with a unique sound, but that unique sound was actually just being a christian metal band that were bad at playing music. they also treated charles like shit and blamed him for them doing so poorly with sales and shows. had an unfortunate “accident” with a tour bus after charles had enough of their attitude towards him.  he denies he had anything to do with it (he did.)

Family/Childhood

He’s the baby of the family. Spoiled rotten to the max. He doesn’t admit it though but whenever he comes home you know he abuses the “:)c im the favorite” card

He has 4 older sisters: Caroline who is a high school civics teacher, Cynthia who is a librarian, Callie who is a coach for a soccer team, and Charlotte who is a lawyer/manager who manages Ladyklok, which gets awkward (and funny) when Abigail starts dating the lead singer Natalie

charles is actually one of the tallest in his family. his dad is 6’1 and his older sister Callie is 5’11. cynthia is 5’6, caroline is 5’6, and his mom and charlotte are 5’5.

his mom is a doctor and his dad is an accountant. his mom’s name is giovanna and his dad’s name is elijah

caroline is the oldest sister, followed by cynthia, callie, charlotte then charles.

Charlotte and Charles are sworn enemies since they were born on the same day a year apart and basically have the same job. They do love each other though

His father calls him Charles. Caroline and Cynthia call him Charlie. Callie calls him Chuck. Charlotte calls him Charles (derogatory). His mom calls him a whole slew of nicknames that she made up when he was young (she calls him cheese ball and he turns red)

caroline has a wife (lauren who is a chef) and two kids (evan and shelby)

cynthia is dating a coworker (viola)

callie has a husband (john who is a stay at home dad) and they have three kids (brenda, melissa, and jeff)

charlotte is dating ladyklok (and abigail). this is a weird flex on charles i think.

He had a race car bed when he was like 5

He also was also one of those kids at family game night. He almost killed Cynthia over a game of monopoly

Always got to lick the spoon first after his mom baked brownies

He grew up in North Jersey (derogatory) (also yes im projecting state shot)

He’s also Italian (derogatory)

He got bullied in middle school for a little bit but once his older sisters found out, oh boy did all hell break loose

Was in band in high school. He played flute (DONT TALK TO ME I LIKE PROJECTING), he was of course a soloist and incredibly smug about it

Took gymnastics as a kid. Can do a backflip on command. Also very flexible.

First manager gig was helping his sisters sell girl scout cookies. They raked in a lot of profits when baby bro was behind the scenes. His cut was eating thin mints for free

Loved Star Trek when he was a kid

Was incredibly gifted, and taught himself to read at a young age. didn’t talk that much though

was always sick when he was little. he would always get sinus infections and colds if someone even sneezed weird

was in mock trial in high school. one guy on his team was a jerk to him so charles made it a point to be this poor kid’s nemesis

was on the student council, treasurer of course.

was also in nhs, and he was treasurer there too

was that kid who insisted on doing the group project by himself because he didn’t want to wait on anyone to finish their part

was super rowdy as a kid, always got into trouble but his mom was a little lenient of punishment (hes a mommas boy)

when he was like super young he bit people cause he was just a little monster (charles' sisters: mom charles is biting again. charles, biting one of them: im not :/ sheesh)

wanted to be a lawyer since he was 7

put his own siblings and parents on trial and would win every trial and would always get the last cookie or a higher allowance

he shared his room with his sister Charlotte and they would set up a pillow fort on one of the beds and stay up late reading together 

loved going to the beach as a kid, his mom still has his collection of shells from the beach

on the boardwalk, he would dominate at claw machines anad carnival games. he won a bunch of plushies from himself (and his sisters obviously)

his dad and him have a super close bond. they watched star trek together and also like to watch how the stock market would do. his dad was also sometimes the judge in charles’ mock trials at home

they were very supportive when he came out as gay, he was also the first of his sibilings to come out of the closet

College

Got his masters in business management at rutgers and a JD (law degree) from seton hall law.

Started college when he was 18 (1983) and ended college when he was 26 (1991)

Wasn’t a party guy. Never got invited to many, but he never went unless a certain redhead was in town

Sustained himself off of ramen, coffee, and SSRIs to get his masters (hey man i feel ya)

Did weed like three times. Three of those times were because of, you guessed it, a certain redhead

Speaking of, his first time having sex was in his dorm with Pickles. Pickles also kicked him off of the bed (those beds are fucking tiny) while they slept, and almost burned Charles’ dorm down trying to make toast the next morning

Absolute did not do essays until the night before. Bad habit that made it’s way into Dethklok managing when he’s forced to write a legal brief before 12 am.

Loved calculus 2 for some reason. Nerd

Had a mullet. Pickles thought it was hot (still is) while Charles would rather die than remember anything about that horrid hairdo

Also went through his goth/emo phase while in Law School. He stuck out amongst the sea of sweater vests and polo shirts

Was in a band with his fellow college bandmates. The band was called Habeas Corpses and he was the lead singer who also played guitar. Their sound was kind of similar to TWRP’s first two EPs (The Device and 2nite). they had a grunge aesthetic, and yes charles dyed his mullet black (with a purple streak), for the band.

his bandmates were all fellow law students. dillan was on drums, margaret was their bass guitar, and nick was their keyboardist. all three of them also got tutored by charles while in law school. they are still best friends and write to each other sometimes

Was on the debate team, but uh kicked off due to be very competitive (he threatened to punch the opposing debater)

Was also in the chess club, also kicked off for being too competitive (lunged at a kid for cheating)

After being kicked from the two previous clubs, he joined fencing, his very competitive nature made him the best in the state

nick (the guy in charles’ band) was charles’ roommate the whole time they were in college. they may or may not have had a brief relationship before they realized they would be better as friends

nick also has a nes and charles loved to played zelda and wrote an entire guide for himself because he’s was that into the game (nerd)

occasionally would be found sleeping in the library on campus

wanted to be an RA but the resident association at his schools thought he was a little much. charles took this as a compliment

worked out a lot between studying and classes. a lot of jocks underestimated him because of his size but charles was just :) [casually lifts something heavy]

a lot of fellow classmates thought he was super cool cause of the leather he wore, and how cool and quiet he was, too bad they didnt know he was a huge nerd

tried skateboarding. once.

had a cadillac that barely started and drove like a piece of shit but that was charles’ baby

pickles tried to have sex with charles in said car btw, charles almost killed him for even daring to suggest to tarnish his beautiful baby

has damaged his back permanently because of all the books he used to carry around in his crappy back pack

did some modelling for one of his friends in college. he was very attractive and got some other modelling job through it. he tries to hide that from the boys in the future because he thinks it’s embarrassing

Relationship with Dethklok

Pickles - he’s known the drummer the longest out of any other member, and if you couldn’t tell by now, he had a brief relationship with the drummer back in the 80s (and maybe also still has a crush on him :)). charles respects and admires pickles’ talent as a musician and sometimes they play together when they have time alone. he tries to be there when pickles has a relapse in either emotions with his family or something else, but still tries to maintain a distance because he thinks that pickles doesn’t feel the same as he did in the 80s. (he does btw). nothing could break the bond these two share. not even death

Nathan - understands nathan’s quiet nature (nonverbal kings!) and strive for perfection in everything dethklok creates because he is the same way. their similarities allow them to connect on a level that allows nathan to open up about his feelings that he likes to lock away. nathan also gets charles to open his feelings up and actually care for himself for once in his damn life. charles also helps nathan with the depression he develops after charles dies and how to deal with it despite it being not brutal. nathan wants to give back and he does by becoming one of charles’ closest friends (and maybe even lovers hehehe)

Toki - charles has taken it upon himself to be toki’s father figure after seeing the way toki’s family has left him for essentially dead. ever since toki joined the band, charles has made it a point to be there for him whenever he needed it. even if it meant spending late nights reading to toki or sleeping over in toki’s room to help him sleep, he’ll do it. he blames himself for toki’s disappearance but toki assures him that he did the best he could. toki calls him dad a lot after doomstar. it makes charles cry.

Skwisgaar - unstoppable asshole meets immovable object. skwisgaar sees himself above everyone else like he does with the other dethklok members but with charles, skwisgaar knows that charles isn’t intimidated by him nor will he bow to the guitar god in anyway. this develops a game of cat and mouse between the two, with skwisgaar trying to no subtly push charles’ buttons and to see what makes him ticks, while charles resist him at every turn with a smug ‘:) is that all you got’ and it delights him to finally see the guitarist squirm under pressure.

Murderface - at first the two are very. distant to say the least. murderface used to see charles as unemotional robot and charles was fine with that and accepted the distance. overtime however, and especially after charles died, murderface warmed up to charles confiding in him things he hasn’t told the band, mainly things about his insecurities because charles is ‘fucking smart with crap like this’. and charles helps him and is happy to see him work out his problems and not bottle them anymore like the rest of his bandmates. charles also enjoys murderface’s company as a friend as well. and….he’s gonna help murderface the most with the whole traitor stuff too.

Abigail - mlm and wlw hostility. but seriously they’re good buds. he sympathizes with having to deal the moronic actions of dethklok on a daily basis and also thinks she’s really intelligent and overall fun to hang out with. they take lunch breaks frequently together and like to make fun of people at dethklok dinners together as a fun activity together. abigail will bully his ass once she finds out she’s dating charles’ sister and WILL bring up those baby pictures to get a higher raise thank you very much

Knubbler - can you say coworker besties! like abigail, he gets along because they both have to deal with dethklok being, well dethklok, but with knubbler, charles can relax a little more. the two cause problems on purpose just because they can. the two are also close friends and knubbler tries to get charles to relax for once in his life, and despite charles protests and objections, he sometimes caves and hands out with his friend (maybe boyfriend OOOOO who knows)

Sex Headcanons (IM SORRY)

um maybe he can have a giant dick (10 inches for me), it do be swinging though

daddy kink (everyone stay on this side, ill take care of him….come to daddy ;)c)

likes to do roleplay. he has a lot of costumes prepared for when his partner wants to do a scene with him

likes to bite and be bitten during sex. after a very long night, he’ll be covered in bite marks, it’s kinda hot

no gag reflex ;) he likes to deepthroat but good luck trying to get him to go down on you without him teasing

remember how i said he was flexible like eight times? yeah he uh, uses that a lot to his advantage. likes being fucked in weird positions because of it

the suit stays on during sex

he likes topping because he likes to be in control of everything he does all the time, but really wants to be told what to do sometimes and will let those he trusts do that for him

he has a dick piercing i know it

he's a very busy man, so he relies on his huge collection of toys he keeps in his bedroom and office

really good with his hands. as soon as those hands are on you, its game over

he loves to do it on his desk, makes him feel powerful. when he gets blown under his desk, it really takes all of his willpower to not cum immediately

really sensitive in weird places, specifically his ears

he likes to cuddle after sex, hes the little spoon :)

likes to be tied up, sometimes he’ll get tied up under his suit

mating press and riding are his favorite positions, giving and receiving

size queen, likes large toys and well ;)

has a private room that he sometimes goes to relieve stress, it has a fucking machine that he likes to use often when his job gets too stressful

he’s sucking people off at the klokateer glory hole, he’s uh, very good at what he does

likes to be spanked and like to spank

uses collars and leashes

maybe the klokateers can fuck him, if they’re good ;)

freeballing

likes cum on his face but doesn't seem to realize that means he’ll get cum on his glasses and will need to clean them

he can wear a chastity belt :) for me

likes being came in but will still complain about being gross after

pretty much up for anything, he’s not picky, he just wants to be in control and get off

The Masked Singer Season 5 Episode 5 Recap: Group B Finals ft a plot twist (Commentary & Guesses)

Hi everyone! Welcome (or welcome back) to Ana’s Masked Singer recap, where I, Ana, recap every episode of The Masked Singer. So, this week, we are back to Group B with yet another wildcard and it is the last time we are gonna see the groups on their own since after Group A’s final, we got the Super Eight (yup, it’s 8 this time... much better still than last season’s format). Anyways, let’s get into it (this is gonna be super repetitive from last week guess wise but I am gonna try to keep it interesting and fresh for you guys, don’t you worry):

Alright, so usually I would save the wildcard for the end as like a surprise, but since the wildcard got eliminated, let’s introduce (and say goodbye to at the same time) to the:

Bulldog!! 🐶

Commentary: Ok, he sang Candy Girl by New Edition (which is really funny and ironic for a whole other thing, I’ll explain in a moment I swear) and um how do I say this nicely?... he’s a great dancer, but the singing is, what Randy Jackson would say, “a no from me dawg.” (Get it? Dawg.. bc the bullDOG... oh ok I will stop now). Anyways, yeah no, he was not good, I kind of expected this to happen honestly, so I am not surprised nor disappointed by any means. However, the person under this mask kinda did surprise me lol... even tho I kind of saw this coming.

He was revealed to be, in the biggest plot twist of the century, no voting, just Neicy Nash picking it:

*SURPRISE SHAWTY*

Nick Cannon, our very own host and Ken’s “daddy*”

*which is ironic because he legit just announced he was gonna have another baby

Ok, ok, did I get this right on my own? Nope, but Twitter helped me out so thank you Twitter. I did officially guess him before he was unmasked (but that’s because I had no other guesses sooo can I really count this a win? Hmmm... TBD... you guys let me know). Anyways, BOOM PLOT TWIST BABY, he’s back! Just in case you guys didn’t know (I don’t really talk about the judges or the host here because I watch for the contestants not for them and it would make this already long blog longer and we don’t want that): Nick had COVID so he couldn’t host the first few episodes of the show, but now he’s better and BOOM he’s the host again... Neicy Nash was taking over for him and now he’s back! So yeah this was just a transition for him to be back on the show, but like imma be honest: he might have been married to Mariah Carey but he don’t got any pipes like her, but he’s a good host so he should stick to that.

Anyways, NEXTTTT, let’s talk about the remaining 4 (which are legit the same freaking ones from last week):

1. Black Swan 🖤🦢

Commentary: So she sang Whitney Houston's How Will I Know and I swear she gets better and better each week like she murdered this song, it was absolutely amazing, my favorite performance of the night hands down. I really love Black Swan, she has one of the best voices on the show and I think either her or Robopine could win the entire season tbh.

I think this has to be (tripling down/final answer/insert buzzer sound here):

Jojo

Reasoning/Clues:

10-10-10= She has appeared on multiple singing competition shows (she did a lot of those shows as a kid), she was on America’s Most Talented Kids and was a guest judge on celebrity X Factor

Montana= get this... if you are around my age, this will surprise you. Did you guys know that Jojo was the original person that the producers of Hannah Montana wanted to play Hannah but she turned it down because she wanted to focus on her music

In her physical clue, she talks about a female singer who passed away at a young age that she was friends with= she was referring to fellow R&B singer Aaliyah

2. Crab 🦀

Commentary: He sang Give it to Me Baby by Rick James and it was a very strong performance, it almost took me aback the song choice. I didn’t expect him to go that hard in the beginning, the hip thrusts were a bit uncomfortable for me and he can’t dance for shit (I am sure it’s because he’s a bit older, not faulting him by any means), but it was really strong vocally speaking. He did actually loose his breathe and started hyperventilating under the mask and had to take a break to cool down (literally, because he was burning up under there), which honestly I hope he’s ok, I am not sure if he’s gonna last that long because of that hyperventilating (remember Mickey Rourke?), but tbh it would have been so unfair for him to go because he did an amazing job and I enjoyed his performance. He got soul.... crab’s got soul.

This has got to be (doubling down, like omg even the picture matches w the body type and everything, I am onto something here):

Bobby Brown

Reasoning/Clues:

Mom kept him in the straight and narrow and taught him how to cook= well, he has spoke about how his mother has gotten him away from the gangs and trouble around his neighborhood and into cooking (he even has a food line, hence the Mac and cheese), which also made him take up singing and thus his band New Edition (remember how I said Nick singing Candygirl by New Edition was ironic? Well this is why... because crab is Bobby Brown aka one of the members.... also Black Swan sang his ex wife’s song so yeah this can’t get any more ironic) was formed

Big Ben= Initals, BB aka Bobby Brown and also he had a show in 2005 called Being Bobby Brown and one of the episodes “Bobby Does London” he goes to London

Ribs= he has a line of BBQ sauces and seasonings called Bobby Brown Foods

3. Piglet 🐷

Commentary: This time, he went a bit softer with the song choice which I feel compliments his voice better, with 7 Years by Lukas Graham, which made Jenny, who apparently hasn’t listened to this song before (wtf Jenny, this song was all over the radio in like 2017 and you are like a radio host hun), cry. I mean it was really amazing and ballads actually suit him a lot more than super upbeat songs like last week’s Andy Grammar song and I really enjoyed it, I’ve heard that song a million times so no I didn’t cry but I still loved it. I do think Piglet will go super far, my guess is he will make it to semifinals.

I am a 100%, tripling down sure that this is:

Nick Lachey

Reasoning/Clues:

Genie Lamp= He did a cover of Aladdin’s A Whole New World with his ex Jessica Simpson on Disney Mania 3

The “spider” who made him a family man= referring to Vanessa Lachey, it was supposed to be this whole Charlotte’s Web thing not really referring anything specific about her that she’s a spider, she could have been another pig for all we care

Dog Tags= in the physical clue, there are 3 dog tags, which he has been seen wearing (you can Google those pics) and they represent his 3 kids which his wife gave him before they had their third kid, Phoenix (btw there’s a P on the bottom dog tag shown)

4. Chameleon

Commentary: Ok so he rapped again but this time the song was Hip Hop by Dead Prez (which I have felt like I have heard but I have no idea where) and I usually hate rappers on this show, but like he’s legit. What I mean by that is like he’s an actual rapper (well Bow Wow was too... but Bow Wow only went as far as he did because of his dancing, Chameleon is just pure rap talent) and his flow is insane. I am not a rap fan whatsoever but I can appreciate good rapping and that was good rapping, actually it was great rapping. Sure, he’s the weakest link of the four but he’s also the coolest one could argue.

Mark my words, this is as I said the last 2 types, again tripling down:

Wiz Khalifa

Reasoning/Clues:

His little Chameleon/lizard= he has an 8 year old son named Sebastian (he also says Cam in the package which is his real name... by him I mean Wiz.... his real name is Cameron)

Martial Arts= the dude likes Martial Arts and has been trained in it and Jiu Jitsu, he has mentioned it in interviews, has been spotted training in gyms, it’s no secret at this point that he likes that stuff

Hot wings= he has a wings place called HotBox by Wiz and he was also on Hot Ones (for those unfamiliar, it’s a YouTube show where celebs eat 10 super spicy chicken wings while answering questions) idk if that counts but I am also gonna say it

So that’s it, guys! I hope you enjoyed! Follow me on Twitter because I do live tweet the show, it’s the same username as here @photolover82 and I do some of these in video form on Tik Tok too if you wanna follow, it’s photolover820 (close enough lol). So yeah, see you guys in the next one! Byeeee! 👋🏼👋🏼

That was a trip. But it was fun, please do things like this more often. Also, I don’t consume media by choice. I’m not sheltered I just can’t be bothered, and I have enough going on. That being said I will now be sleeping. Thanks again, Anon, I hope you have fun reading this :D

[chacmar]

changes

for that rabies anon, here’s 1,400 words of charmac getting together. it’s p damn soft & sweet b/c i’m p damn soft & sweet.

Charlie didn’t know what happened. Nothing changed. But maybe everything changed. Mac and Dennis talked. Sort of. They fought. Sort of. A little bit of neither, a little bit of both. Mac did something he hadn’t done in a very long time. He knocked on Charlie’s door in the middle of the night. Frank woke up and did some yelling, so Charlie pushed Mac into the hallway. They walked to the bar.

And that’s when things changed. Maybe it was the talking, or the crying, or the honesty, that changed things. Or maybe they didn’t change things, maybe they just reminded Charlie of things. After drinking more than they should have, they passed out on the pool table together. Mac was on his side, his head on Charlie’s chest. That’s what reminded Charlie. 

He remembered his first kiss, which had been locked away like a secret he kept from himself. The two of them drunk for the first time in his mom’s basement. They never talked about it again, they never did it again. He remembered all of the nights he crawled into Mac’s twin bed after sneaking in through the window. He remembered the way his heart used to beat differently whenever Mac laughed at one of his jokes. 

How did he ever forget all of it? Did he ever really forget it at all?

Whether it changed or he remembered or whatever else, Charlie felt different than he did that night. 

They were on the couch at Mac and Dennis’ apartment. Mac and Dennis had calmed down from the fight, but things weren’t the same there anymore either, Charlie could sense that. There was a girl in Dennis’ room, even though he couldn’t remember the last time Dennis banged a girl. 

A documentary was playing, but Charlie wasn’t focusing on that as much as he wanted to. His thigh was touching Mac’s. Not in a sexy way. They were just sitting close and the outsides of their thighs touched, not even skin to skin, they were both in jeans. But holy shit Charlie felt his skin tingle beneath his jeans. It wasn’t a horny thing, not a dick horny thing at least, maybe a heart horny thing.

The voice on the TV said something about birds dancing to attract mates. Charlie laughed a little, even though they hadn’t said anything explicitly funny.

“What is it, man?” Mac asked, looking over at him.

“I was thinking if that were human mating rituals, like I totally seduced you before.”

“When did you seduce me?”

“Remember when I told that radio station that I was proud of Paddy’s and we danced?”

“Yeah, you didn’t sed-”

“Yeah, but I kicked Dennis’ ass in that dance competition, so like, I didn’t seduce you, but if we were birds I totally woulda seduced you.”

“But you weren’t trying to seduce me.”

“Yeah, but still, it’s kinda cool that if we were birds, you’d choose me over Dennis.”

“Well, it’s not like Dennis would try to seduce me, and it’s not like I want to date you.”

“Why not?” Charlie didn’t mean for it to come out angry, but it did. 

“Ew, gross, Charlie!”

“C’mon, Mac, you’re always saying you could do better than me! Why do you want to do better than me so bad?”

“Why do you even care?” Mac said, they had both been raising their voices. Like they were fighting, like they cared. 

“Because I’d date you, Mac!”

“Yeah, if you were gay!” 

“I am for you!” 

And then neither of them spoke. The narrator droned in the background, but that sound was so quiet now. It was obvious how loud they’d gotten. 

“Wait, what?” Mac said. He laughed. It wasn’t a mean laugh, but Charlie’s stomach flipped in the not so good way this time.

“I mean, I didn’t mean, I’m not like gay for you, I just.” Charlie groaned and stood up. He couldn’t stand touching Mac’s stupid thigh with his thigh through jeans anymore! God, he was so fucking stupid, everybody was right. He started pacing as he ranted, “I mean… gay, straight, whatever, who cares, I don’t care, I just, you’re my best friend and I love you a lot and I know that’s weird to say or whatever, but it’s true, and like, I think I love you more than a best friend, and that’s probably weird to say too, but it’s also true. And I know you’re probably heartbroken over Dennis being in denial and I’m sure you’d much rather date a prettyboy like Dennis over me, but I’m just saying, I love you, and I think it’d be cool to date you.”

“Since when do you love me, Charlie?”

“Um…” Charlie stopped walking around the living room and looked at Mac, he put his hand on his hips as he thought, audibly clicking his tongue while he pinpointed the exact moment. “I think since we were twelve? Maybe I was thirteen? We were down at the train tracks ‘cause your dad just got arrested, and we were throwing some fucking rocks and I found this really cool rock and I wanted to throw it, but I thought you’d like it too, so I let you throw it instead, and you were really happy and I remember thinking like Shit I’m so glad I made him happy, I think this is what being in love is. And so I think that’s it.”

“Holy shit,” Mac said. He didn’t laugh this time. He looked up at Charlie with those eyes. The eyes that Charlie couldn’t describe because there weren’t enough words in the world, even if he knew all of the words in the world there wouldn’t be enough. Not to describe how they looked, not to describe how they made Charlie feel. If he were to describe how those eyes made him feel, somebody would probably diagnose him with a medical disorder. “Charlie, how the fuck could you be in love with me for like thirty years and not tell me?”

“Because you hated gay people for a really long time, so I hated gay people, and then I stopped hating gay people, but I didn’t remember loving you, I mean, I didn’t forget, but it felt like a stupid idea. And then you were gay, but it just didn’t feel right. And now doesn’t feel right, but I was gonna explode, man.”

“Shit man, I’m sorry I keep saying I could do better than you. I mean, I obviously didn’t think it would be a shitty thing to say because I thought you’d never like me so why would you care, you know?”

“Well, I do care. I mean, you don’t have to like me, it’s fine, but-”

“I do, dude. I mean, obviously, I love you ‘cause your my best friend, but like, yeah I like when you hold me, you know? And I like that you’re the funniest fucking person I’ve ever met, and even though you fuck shit up you always do it with like a crazy amount of confidence. Also, like, you are a little dirty, but under the grime you’re kinda hot. Like whenever you have to wear a suit, you always look real fucking good.”

“Um, thanks?” Charlie laughed and ran his hand through his hair. “Um, shit, so if I love you, and you’re saying, like… are you saying… are we…. Can we be like boyfriends and shit?”

“Uh, can we just say we’re boyfriends, and then we’ll suddenly be boyfriends?” 

“I think so. I mean, we could kiss too.”

“Do you wanna kiss me? I thought you didn’t like kissing.”

Charlie laughed and plopped down on the couch next to Mac. He gave Mac a loud kiss on the cheek before saying, “Okay, now you’re my boyfriend.”

Mac smiled and turned to face Charlie. Charlie leaned in and kissed his lips. Less loud. It wasn’t a hungry, desperate kiss either, though. It was soft. It was barely a peck, like when they were kids, trying it out drunkenly at first. Charlie held his lips against Mac’s for a long time. Longer than a little kiss like that should last, but it felt so nice. 

He pulled away and winkled his nose happily, Mac laughed, and then Charlie did too. They were happy laughs, though. Not the kind that made Charlie want to recoil, but the kind that filled his stomach up with warmth. They both settled back against the couch and went back to watching the documentary, but Charlie put his arm around Mac’s shoulders. They fell asleep with Mac’s head on Charlie’s chest again. Charlie didn’t know how it happened, but something changed, and it was amazing. 

[surveys-at-your-service]

Survey #232

“i’ve never bought a suit before in my life, but when you go to meet god, you know you wanna look nice.”

Do you have trouble typing when the room is dark? No, I don't look at the keyboard. When’s the last time you had a headache? I had an abomination of a three-day-long headache before my cycle like a week or two back or something. How often do you take surveys? Not as much as I used to now that I actually have school, but occasionally. What did you last write on paper? I think some items to Mom's shopping list? Does anything on your body hurt? No. What do you currently hear? "Bullet" by Hollywood Undead. I can hear cars outside, as well as Bentley biting himself incessantly. Sounds gross. Do you have any goals you’re trying to fulfill? As for in the near future, hopefully - I'd pray if I believed in it by this point - start losing weight again. Grow more in my photography, 1.) because I want this so badly and 2.) there's no way I could handle the stress of school and a "real" job but we're in serious need of money right now. I'd really like to make progress with driving too, but I haven't been able to in months because a headlight in broken, the license plate or whatever is expired, and the car can't pass inspection, so Mom doesn't want me at the steering wheel and get pulled over for it. Being on the borderline poverty line is A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you ever do the dishes? I'mma be real, real honest here. Not really. Reason being we don't have a dishwasher and I am super queasy actually hand-cleaning dirty dishes, I get frustrated because I feel I don't clean them well enough (being a germaphobe is also fun), and my OCD goes absolutely insane trying to play Tetris with the drying rack thingy. All that being said, it's my least-favorite chore. At your house, does everyone eat together as a family? No. We started to drift apart when I was... maybe a pre-teen? When did you last have butterflies in your stomach? Sara decided she wanted to try making out and I was fucking terrified of going too far or scaring her. Are you independent or dependent? I'm embarrassingly dependent. Who last made you smile? My pup. How did you find Bzoink? Taking surveys for so long. What’s your dream job? If travel and heat weren't considered, a meerkat biologist. Do you brush your teeth twice every day? Just once. Do you have a pool? No. Are the streetlights on? We don't have streetlights on my road. When you wear a hoodie, do you pull the sleeves over your hands? Not unless I'm really cold. Do you trust anyone, besides yourself, fully? Sara. I would say Mom, but I'm entirely aware she's lied and made stories up about Dad. Do you believe the saying “once a cheater, always a cheater”? No. I've never really understood this. People change. Are you in any advanced classes at school? I bypassed the freshman English class, yeah. Well, is that considered "advanced?" I don't believe it's like an AP course or anything, but it's not a class I'm supposed to be taking as a freshman, so??? How often do you eat your favorite food? Every once in a while. Have you ever fallen asleep on public transport? (including planes) Probably. What was the last TV show you watched? Uhhhh I think it was all the way back when Colleen and I were still friends and we checked out The Good Doctor. Or it was either Parks and Recreation with Sara and her family or Avatar: The Last Airbender, also with Sara. Where was the last place you went on vacation/holiday to? Who’d you go with? The beach with Colleen, her husband, and their son. Well, does that count since it was only for a day? Does the place you work have music playing? What sort? I don't have a job. What’s your favorite type of donut? It varies between chocolate frosted, glazed, and plain. What do you usually eat for breakfast? If I even eat, it'll probably be like, a meal replacement shake or Pop-Tart. Can you touch your toes without bending your knees? Surprisingly. When was the last time you went out for dinner? Like at a sit-down restaurant? Hm. I think it was El Tapatio with my mom and Nicole maybe near two months ago. What was the last thing you said to someone else in person? Idr, something to Mom. Do you use Windows, Mac, Linux, or something else entirely? Windows. How many times do you call someone on the phone a week? Like zero, usually. Have you cooked anything today? What was it? No. Do you have a lot of cousins? What are their names? Yeah. I'm not sharing all their names on the Internet, and besides, I don't even know most. What does your shampoo smell like? I don’t know. What about the body wash or soap you’re using at the moment? I don't remember, even though I got out of the shower like an hour ago. Any movies you’ve seen recently that you’d recommend to me? No, I barely ever watch movies. Why did you last go see a doctor? The primary reason was for my night terrors. Do you know how to play Minesweeper? No. What was the last thing you bought online? A new heat lamp for my snake Venus. Where do you usually park your car? I don't have a car, but Mom parks in the driveway behind the house. Does your mail get delivered to your house or do you have to collect it? It's put in the mailbox on the other side of the road. Are you more logical or creative? Creative, I'd say. Do you cut tags out of clothing so they don’t itch and bother you? Usually. How many times a year do you go on vacation? Pretty much never. Can you curl your tongue or do anything else cool with it? I can curl it a little bit, but my snake eyes piercing prevents me from doing it all that well. What was the last job interview you went to? For a deli position at a Food Lion. Got the job, lasted not even two hours. :^) What embarrassing music do you listen to? I'm not really *embarrassed* of any I listen to. Just kinda surprising to admit to some people sometimes. What’s your biggest talent? Writing, I guess? What’s the best gift you ever received? My dog. What fear would you like to overcome? More than ANYTHING? Probably being judged in a negative way or being seen as "weird," and not in a good way. AvPD is a bitch and makes me less open about myself (mostly just irl, but yeah), which I REALLY don't like. Would you rather ride in a hot air balloon or hang-glide? Hm, hang-glide, maybe. I dunno. What habit would you like to break? Procrastinating, lately. Describe the most romantic moment you’ve ever had. I can think of a few, but here's the one that had the most biggest effect on me, I think. There was one time Jason and I were kissing, I told him I loved him, and he whispered, "I love you too, wife," before going back to kissing me. Remembering that still hurts, a lot. I know now us separating was for the better, I don't want someone who doesn't have faith in my strength, just the memories like those from the time I was convinced our love story was a fairy tale are very painful. Just typing it caused a discomfort in my stomach. What’s your worst personality trait? Laziness, probably. Or impulsiveness. Have you ever cheated on a test? No. What’s your favorite karaoke song? I don't sing karaoke. Do you know anyone with two different colored eyes? I don't believe so. What was the last thing you bought for someone else? Sara's anniversary present, which was a pillow that said something along the lines of, "Hug this pillow until you can hug me" or something. Do you like hot fudge sundaes? My fat ass can't even associate with you if you don't like HOT FUDGE SUNDAES????????????? Do you like to sleep a lot? It's funny, I tend to like naps during the day, yet I don't look forward to trying to go to sleep at night. It always takes longer, and there's also the possibility of just waking back up and struggling to fall back asleep for the rest of the night. Is there a garbage can in the room you’re currently in? No. Have you ever been in a class that you thought you were too smart for? I don't think so. Can you type without looking at the keyboard? Yeah. We had a mandatory typing course in middle school, so I learned it exceptionally well. Have you ever been snorkeling? No. Who was the last person you apologized to? Maybe Sara? Do you throw things when you’re frustrated? NO. I am very conscious of not expressing my anger with physical violence of any sort. How much do you get paid at your current job? N/A Are your friends mostly older than you or younger than you? I think younger. Would you ever get a pet tarantula? Nah. Do you want to dye your hair? Ugh, you have no idea. What’s your favorite zoo animal? Meerkats, duh. Is there anything in your room you’d be ashamed to show to your parents? I'm VERY self-conscious of my artwork, so I'd be mortified if my mom saw my drawings, even though there's nothing "wrong" with them. I'm just shy about 'em. Have you ever accused someone of cheating when they weren’t? Yeah, hence the end of that day-long relationship. Him cheating was a lie from his insane ex, but at the time, I just believed it, but it was absolutely for the better. He wasn't for me. I really shoulda just listened when my art teacher literally took me aside one day and warned me about him. Wha'd'ya know, he wound up on house arrest or something similar, and who the hell knows what he's done by now. When was the last time you played hide and seek? I played with my niece and nephew some months ago. Don’t you hate when people stare at you? Fuckin' yes. I'm too self-conscious for that shit. Have you ever accidentally caught yourself on fire? Well thank god no. Are you Jewish? No. Does anyone copy the things you do? No. Is your dad still alive? Yes, yay. Have you done anything lately that you instantly felt was a mistake? Possibly. What melts your heart/makes your knees weak? Watching Mark with kids causes me severe physical pain. What would you consider unforgivable? Rape. What are your views on spontaneous human combustion? Freaky. Parasite Eve first made me think "oh shit what if this could actually happen," and I've also watched a Shane Dawson video about it, and the idea of it possibly being a real thing is absolutely terrifying. How many dryer sheets do you put in an average load of laundry? I think Mom uses one or two? I dunno. Have you ever felt trapped in a relationship? No. What is your favorite frozen treat? Ice cream. Do you have a sexual fantasy? ...What is it? There's probably something I could think up. Maybe like bang on a church pew or something lmao idk. Who was the last person to insult you? I'm not sure. What color is your brush/comb/whatever? White. Is it wicked hard for you to sleep when its hot in your room? It is almost entirely impossible. Have you ever purposely given someone wrong directions? No, but then again, it's not like I even give them. I have a horrible sense of direction and don't know street names, highway numbers and locations... What is your favorite thing to do with your best friend? I'm not sure. Everything is fun with her. Are you easily offended? It depends. In most contexts, no. Have you ever acted as tour guide for friends/relatives from out of town? Not really. If you were an anime character, would you be a yandere or a tsundere? HAHAHA I AM PAINFULLY A YANDERE. If you have glasses, do you get days when you don’t feel like wearing them? No, because I like to see. Have you ever played bingo at an actual bingo hall? No. Ha ha, this reminds me tho, I can't recall if he did it once or just WANTED to, but my brother may have gone into one, yelled "BINGO," and immediately left. Did your parents ever collect any magazines they didn’t want you to read? Uhhhh no. I'm quiiiiite sure neither of my parents had those. Have you ever pledged money to a Kickstarter and it reached its goal? No. I probably would if I had excess money and really believed in it, though. Is there a color combination that holds a significance to you? Because Jason's favorite thing in the world was the Joker, seeing purple and bright green together is one I just prefer not to see. I wouldn't call it a PTSD trigger, like I don't freak out about it, it's just like an "ugh ew" sorta thing. If you use Facebook, do you ever look at the Memories page? No. I cringe 90% of the time when they pop up. Do you have a drawer where you just throw some random stuff? No. Have you ever had to provide an alibi for something? No. What’s the funniest shirt that you own? I have a Batman one I'm trying to shrink back into that says something like "I wish I was Batman but I'm poor and hate fighting" & I love it. What is something you absolutely refuse to pay for? Idk off the top of my head. Has a stray/runaway cat or a dog ever followed you home? Cats, I think? If so, what did you do with it? Fed it with the other cats, and I'd assume Mom would've called the owner's number if given. If you could grow a beard or a mustache, would you? I'm a cisgender female so like... Is there a stranger you expect to see every day? No. What is something you take pride in? I'm proud of just how deeply and genuinely I care about people. And my writing and photography, mostly. What does the nicest dish set you own look like? All our dishes are literally the same, and they're ancient. I think they were my grandma's but given to Mom. Pattern's worn and everything. They're ceramic with a floral design. Why did you stop working at the last place you were employed? I absolutely cannot be in a position of responsibility or customer service, and the environment was way too busy. What would you do if you found out your ex was pregnant/fathered a child? I... don't know how I would react? Picturing it, I first feel like I'd be so happy for him, but I KNOW my PTSD would act up at some point shortly after and I would probably end up in a bawling ball (lol "bowling ball" that wasn't intended sorry) because "that was supposed to be me," but then I'd be fine again after I got all that emotion out. Who was the last person to smoke a cigarette in front of you? Someone at school. You can smoke outside, and it's the one thing I don't like about my college. Are you very close to your siblings? Not nearly as close as I wish we were. How often do you watch the news? Never. Do you have a dishwasher? No. What is the worst lie you’ve ever told? I don't like talking about it. Well, it wasn't a lie, but I stretched the truth because anxiety's a goddamn asshole. Where is the last place you drove to? I drove to, probably home. What is your favorite Disney movie? The Lion King. I may even like the live-action remake more, but I can't say with certainty. Do you have a fan in your room? Yeah. What color is your lampshade? I don't have a lamp. Do you like to wear belts? Not anymore. What is the most expensive electronic in your room? This laptop. Only a year old and yet it's so abused with how much it's used. Are you involved with any charity work? I wish I was in the position where I could, anyway. Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? No. Have you ever hatched an egg? OKAY SO! I remember in elementary school, maybe like 1st grade or something, we incubated a chicken egg and hatched it. I can't remember where it went. Do you chew gum on a daily basis? No, I rarely do. What brand shampoo do you use? Suave. When is the last time you went to an amusement park? Years ago shortly before the breakup with Jason and Dillon. Or Dustin. Whatever his name was. Do you have a garden shed in your backyard? Nope. Are you obsessed with anything? Y'all know I don't know how to love in moderation, not even remotely. Do you prefer non-diet or diet soda? I hate diet, and the artificial sweetener also gives me serious headaches. Who was the last person you hugged? My mom, maybe? What did you do when you found out Michael Jackson died? We were swimming in the pool while Mom or Dad was grilling, idr. What’s your best friend’s favorite band? Pink Floyd, Evanescence, and Within Temptation. What’s your favorite kind of beer? Never tried it, don't want to. How do you get songs out of your head? Binge it 'til I'm tired of it lmao. Have you seen all the High School Musicals? I've only seen the first two. Do you dress appropriately for your age? I don't know? Probably not? Do "normal" 23-year-olds wear graphic tees? What’s your favorite word? "Serendipity." What’s the worst sickness you’ve ever had? A serious stomach virus that made me puke all the food I'd eaten since birth. Do you take compliments well? Of course I appreciate them, but I get shy. Are excessive piercings sexy or trashy? Well they're definitely not "trashy," but SERIOUSLY excessive ones, I don't usually find attractive. But it really depends on the person, the size, and where. What do you put on toast? Cinnamon, sugar, and butter. The Southern cinnamon toast. Have you ever watched Fear Factor? I LOVED it when I was younger, and I still enjoy it if I happen to see it. Joe Rogan was one of my earliest crushes, too. How many songs do you have on iTunes? Over 1k. What song reminds you of summer? MAN I remember as a kid, back when I liked country, my sisters and I loved "When The Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney. Big summer vibes. Has a bird ever flown into your window? OH WOW I don't think so, but I do remember one flew into the car's grill when I was very young and going on a trip. Safe to say it died.

Thank U, Next: Album Review

Disclaimer: These opinions below are my own and only opinions. It’s okay not to agree with anything I will say here, this is my personal experience of the album. Also the album hasn’t been out long yet so it hasn’t had the chance to marinate yet and opinions might change in time. Y’all asked for it. 

Imagine: 4/10

This is not the most interesting song on the album, but it’s chill and nice to have on. The whistles are everything and really, for me, pull the song from boring into being an interesting experimentation piece. I don’t have a lot of reasons why this would be the first song but it’s not a bad opener. I guess this song is an alright song, a little underrated and a weird choice for a single given the other singles and how much Ariana doesn’t appear to care about it. The lyrics are similarly okay, not groundbreaking but not a fuckup (except the use of ‘sleep’ instead of ‘asleep’?) and the concept is sweetly sad. 

Needy: 8/10

Bop bop bop. It’s not a strong song like a big ballad or brave r&b statement but for what she is, she’s still important. The concept is everything, and it didn’t let me down which is important to me. It was the snippet that I was looking forward to and it did deliver the slow jam with a unique depreciating but honest message. The vocals aren’t stunning but she does sing and it feels really personal and heartfelt. And the babyloves instrumental at the end cinches this as a favourite of mine, it just sounds so pure and it’s a real relatable song. 

NASA: 5/10

Apparently quite a controversial one, either people are loving it or ignoring it. It does have a ‘kiss me thru the phone’ vibe, but I think she’s cute. Again, not a big statement but satisfying as a basic r&b moment. The lyrics are great in this song, despite the repetitive ‘imma need spice’ chorus, the verses have some original concepts and storyline. It has a really cool alternative, almost spin-off vibe to God Is A Woman with the space parallels and some linking lyrics about ‘your orbit’. And whenever Ariana manages to have a concept that doesn’t just revolve around penis in the vag I always nut, and this song is actually about the opposite and pushing someone away which is refreshing. The song is ultimately a bit forgettable but has some redeeming qualities that make me glad it made it to the album.  

Bloodline: 2/10

Nonna is a nice touch but I don’t really care about it? I don’t think about it unless it’s on. It’s good to come to a more upbeat song after the first three, and it’s catchy- with a kinda havana spanish vibe? It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if this was a single instead of Imagine, but as a 2019 song it’s almost a little outdated as music has evolved from despacito’s popularity. The lyrics are basic and something more familiar to Ariana’s usual style of vocals with some signature ‘yuh’s. I can see why people would enjoy it, and I think if it played in a club, no-one would object but for me idc. 

Fake Smile: 4/10

Starting to get tired of these alternative ‘sample’ beginnings to her songs on this album. But I like the sound of the song a lot. It reminds me heavily of Lily Allen? And y’all know I don’t like unnecessary swearing which the chorus of this song has a lot of I think. It has some of greedy’s backing vocals but goes in a different direction with vibe, however the concept really puts me off. We have this ‘’my life is hard the media and rumours are hard’’ in SO MANY other Ariana songs and I am TIRED. Go talk to You Dont Know Me or IDC for those tired concepts. She really doesn’t seem to be focusing on the positivity when she’s always putting out songs like this which is a shame because I really like Lily Allen’s music. 

Bad Idea: 7/10

We start out so strong with this song, and I really like it. The chorus really makes me wanna bop, it’s a good catchy song. Since someone pointed out the ‘ari-chan’ bit I’ve really not been able to unhear it which sucks. But in my opinions it’s like a better/alternative version of dw’s Bad Decisions. It’s not the most unique of concepts but I really like the climax vocal moment in it and it reminds me of breathin at that part. The orchestral part at the end confuses me a little? It doesn’t really go but doesn’t ruin it for me- I’ll always take some strings. 

Make Up: 0/10

I’m not a fan. It’s another one of those trippy pharrell-esque beats with no real content and some more rap-singing. Not much to say about this one, I just don’t really like it, it’s a skip from me. Issa mood issa vibe isn’t good lyrics, it doesn’t have any good melodies or vocals that would endear it to me. The beat kinda sounds like it’s falling down the stairs slowly. I just don’t think it’s album material. 

Ghostin: 10/10

Now she’s a CONCEPT. Her voice sounds heavenly and in my opinion this song has some of the best concepts and lyrics on the album. It’s a sad bop but so so needed after all Ariana has been through with her bereavement and loss. It’s so sad and sends my heart to her, she’s serenading her tears and fears to us on this song and really telling us what is going on with some of her sadder moments. It’s bittersweet and uses the concept of ‘ghosting’ as a double meaning for mac’s spirit and as the colloquial slang meaning to break up with or ignore [her current love]. It’s clever and meaningful and so good, we were blessed with the harmonies and strings on this one. 

In My Head: 9/10

Doug PREACH, this is one of the only times I will praise speaking samples in music because his part of this song is so good and necessary. Doug telling Ariana ‘enough is enough’ is PEAK reliability and you get a good sense of their friendship and her life at that point in time. The song itself pops off, it takes some of the previous ‘pete’ concepts of ‘i thought you into my life’ and develops it into this idea that she actually created that version of that person and how detrimental that can be. I think we’ve all created a vision of a person in our heads before and can relate to the concept. The lyrics are good, and the melodies and vocals are good. Mostly on this one I like the concepts that arise in the lyrics. It also lyrically ties to why try with the demons and angels visuals which i cant get enough of even if ariana shits on why try. I even enjoy (and laugh at) the scoot scoot part. It’s just a good ass r&b song that I thoroughly enjoy. 

7 Rings: 1/10

Listen, do I sing along to this song: Yes. Does that mean I think it’s good music? No. I dont like the concept nor the unoriginality of the verses just being a big sample from another song. I dont care about this flex, and I dont relate. Ariana is too rich and always has been so this song holds more jealousy and distaste for me. I don’t mind the ‘you like my hair?’ lyric but I do know about the controversy with that black woman who sang that lyric about weave and imo it’s a whole ass messssssss. The review of this song by itself could be a whole post but I’ll leave it with just saying I don’t like it. 

Thank U, Next: 10/10

A sweetheart. Really the only pop song on the album, and just a good song. It’s a classic successful max martin song, and I like the self love addition to the lyrics. It’s finally a song that ISNT about penis in vag and I was very excited when it came out. This song is going to get overplayed soon but I’m very proud of it as her first #1, I feel like it’s real and she tried very hard with it. It’s a good concept and aside from not promoting it well, deserves more recognition for the good all-round song it is. Kinda wish the U was a You but this is Ariana so I’ll just live with it. 

Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored: 1/10

This song starts hot and a bit like an attack, which is in contrast to the likes of Bad Idea which is a softer but still strong start. My opinions on the MV aside, it’s catchy but it’s basic. This is probably the least produced song on the album imo, and is what people would expect of her probably. It’s darker and I don’t go out of my way to play it. I do like the chorus and would sing along, but it doesn’t thrill me. I think it’s kinda funny? But unfortunately the song is not meant in satire. Also the title is just too damn long. 

Overall:

The album is still new to me but it has a few really redeemable songs on it. I’ve said it before but my view on it is of this album being a kinda darker side B of sweetener. I think it’s sonically cohesive as an album, only thank u next the title track really sounds different from the themes of the rest of the album. I was pleasantly surprised by the lyrics on this album, and how several of the concepts were a step away from basic fucking tracks. I dont hate it or think it’s a bad album but coupled with sweetener you can definitely see a strong move away from pop or anything ballad-y which would make any sort of good use of her voice which is a shame because she has the talent for broadway, not rap. Ariana’s career mistakes aside, it’s as good an album as I would expect to see from her at this stage and she is definitely getting more confident in sharing real parts of her life in music which is positive.

Can I get some headcannons for HIFL with an MC who is a vampire/werewolf hybrid?

*tilts head* I have no idea how this would work. let’s do it.

General

-MC has fangs and a wolf form.

-Can eat and taste normal food but it’s like… bland. Not tasty at all. Eats raw meat for the blood.

JD

-Finds it funny. Makes a lot of comments about MC being a hybrid of the ‘mortal enemies’ shit from movies. MC is annoyed.

-Likes cuddling up when MC is wolfy. She runs kind of middling heat all the time.

-Complains about cold hands when MC holds their hand. 

-Totally makes the spiciest food they can to see MC eat it straight faced and then everyone else choke on it, while pointing at their GF and going: Well she can eat it.

-They have pulled this on asshole truckers in the past. Razi lets them.

Razi

-Always makes sure to have raw meat ready.

-Uses some spell to enhance flavours for her so she can taste it while he can just have it normal.

-Is also a bit off put by how… luke warm she is but likes cuddling and warming her up.

-Scratches behind her wolf ears to make her giggle.

-The leylines react weird to her, and suddenly she is a genie/werewolf/vampire and no one understands it. NO ONE.

Mac

-Has a hard time understanding her GF cause while some of it is ‘aw, yes, I understand’ other parts is… wtf.

-Both go hunting together and Mac lets her GF eat her fill first.

-They run together all the time on full moons. It’s awesome.

-Days when her vamp side is bad enough she needs sunglasses, Mac has her gf covered with covering the windows and hiding away with her gf from the sun.

-The Beast is very weirded out. Like what the ever loving fuck. MC and Mac find it funny.

Diego

-Same with Mac. Some stuff he gets, others… ‘Hey Mac, help?’

-He’s a little jealous she can drink only animal blood but it’s also kinda gross her eating raw meat.

-Likes watching her sleep in wolf form cause it’s like watching a dog sleep, rolling around and stuff.

-Dracula goes wtf when he meets MC. There is no big issue with him cause Dracula legit is like ‘yeah, I’m outta here. This is to weird’.

-Diego and her like to go out to vampire bars to freak out the various clients there for fun.

Antonio

-Antonio is very confused about some of MC’s traits. 

-Likes to take her hunting cause he finds it hot watching her go feral on an animal. He tries to convince her to do it to humans but she’s not chill with it.

-Frankenstein lied to Antonio about her bringing back the dead. it’s cause of her unique hybrid status he wants to study her.

-Antonio is pissed at Frankenstein. Like legit furious, but also a bit grateful cause he has MC now.

-Victor is very fucking confused by MC and isn’t scared to say it.

Vanessa

-Vanessa has no idea that hybrids exist, and is shocked by MC.

-Does find it interesting she eats raw animal meat. Is happy the reason is cause MC finds it more ethical.

-Wonders about why she’s the only one. (Dracula isn’t dead, is after her for her hybrid status) MC has no clue why, so Vanessa is on the case.

-Getting together is hard cause of the Helsing order, but they manage… somehow! Honestly they don’t know but it happens.

-MC isn’t allergic to silver so Vanessa is happy she can still have her silver stuff.

Laugh-Inducing Potion, babbling beverages, draught of peace :)

Laugh-Inducing Potion: Tell a funny story.

(I’m not great with funny stories off the bat so I apologise) But one time when I was in hospital with a flare up, I still had a bit of a fever which effectively does the same thing to me as being drunk does (see below) and I got seen by a reeeeeeally nice doctor, and I found out (it was on her name tag) her name was Rhiannon and every time she stopped by I got the Mac song stuck in my head (I can’t remember now if I sang it to her, but I know I sang it to my mum when talking about the doctor) and I also may have made some joke about her being kinda hot while she was studying my fever… (Luckily my mum thought I meant temperature, pretty sure the doc knew I didn’t…) 

Babbling Beverage: what kind of person are you when you’re drunk/hyped up on caffeine?

Caffeine: Bumbling, rambly idiot who talks more in noises than words, can’t stop fidgeting, so many hand gestures/fiddling with hands, firing out ideas left right and center for things I’ll never actually get around to writing probably but at the time they are so awesome (until I come down/crash and realise I was being such an idiot) 

Drunk: Very open. Too open. My ‘don’t say that, that’s bad’ filter switches off and I generally lose the ability to think before I speak, which is not good. And depending on what I got drunk on, I can get really mopey, reeeeeeally mopey. I rant. And usually both combine to make some very dark, depressing rants about shit I would never confess to sober. Like dutch courage gone dark catastrophe. Luckily, it used to take me a LOT to get anywhere near drunk. Nowadays I’m not so sure…

Draught of Peace: What relaxes you?

A glass of whiskey and a fleetwood mac vinyl record. Or a really, really good book. 

I feel like I go into too much detail with these things… Thanks for asking though! As always :)

Odd Beginnings

I’ve been pushing off my desire to write for a while. There’s always something more pressing to do—school stuff, sure, but if I were to open a word document, shouldn’t it be to edit the essays that I’m so behind on? I’ve been writing lots for sure, but never truly for myself. It is the long weekend, and although I’m oddly more behind than I’ve ever been before (I should be done with this week’s review by now), I still feel a sense of leisure. Today was the first day I really just relaxed in my sunlit but dark, nice but old, pleasant but awfully brown room. I had breakfast and coffee, a pancake, some 떡국, did/thought (too much) about decorating, and am running the dish washer for the first time. I lounged in my room listening to music and feeling way too much.

And of course, weirdly, now that I’m about to write, I don’t have much to write about. I feel a little sick—a bit of a cold from all the sleep deprivation.

I feel an ache inside again lately. An ache that I can’t put words to anymore. I read back on some of my old stuff, and it’s a lot for sure, but also, jarring. It’s been a hot second—was about to say—but then realized it hasn’t been. It’s literally been a year. But it feels like a hot second. I am numb in certain ways. It’s shocking to realize how much so. Random snapshots:

Money Power Glory – Lana Del Ray

Lana may have written this satirically, but increasingly this is exactly how I feel at times. I feel it in a strange surge as I sit in a room full of people who seem relaxed yet not, backgrounds that seem intensely different from mine when in fact, they were likely very similar. I feel it as I stand there, listening to an explanation I don’t understand, but nodding intensely enough that the instructor asks me if I have a question, even without raising my hand. It’s odd—I don’t do anything about it for sure—I’m not studying very hard. I feel less smart than I’ve ever. Yet it’s there, a toxic kinda feeling, sitting in the pit of my stomach. Weirdly, I feel like there isn’t really anything for me except achieving those three things. I just want it and seem to want nothing else. It’s something I’ve never felt in my life, and it makes me laugh sometimes, but that doesn’t change the fact that I do want it. Leaving my alma mater, I feel like I belong there more than ever before.

I wanna be a great one I wanna be a great one I wanna make a million dollars Making all my days count What is life? What is love? What are lies? What is trust? What is everything? Everything is nothing without you

I wonder if it’s like Jessie Reyez says (Great One- Jessie Reyez). Maybe it’s because I don’t really have the idea of life, love anymore, which where such defining things in my life. It’s what gave me so much meaning and drive. And I’m in a new state than I’ve ever been before. Love and life, those things are just missing. I’ve either been in it or actively eschewed it prior to this. Of course, being in it had many shades and gradiences, but nevertheless I was in it, and when you’re in it, you consider it as a factor in your life. Right now, it’s just not there. No thoughts on it really. Memories, yes; nostalgia, yes; but also, lots of logic. It is what it is. And now that there is no salient life to work-life balance really, I feel like work should be everything. It feels like it could be everything. And maybe I can build life around that work. Maybe. Maybe I can and should have Money Power and Glory.

Cinderella (feat. Ty Dolla Sign)- Mac Miller

Separately from all that though, the nostalgia rings strong and goes all the way back. This one sounds like the summer soundtrack of the past. It’s funny how such a hype song can make you want to cry. Mac makes me cry for more reasons than one.

This hook is crazy, but this bit also literally makes me laugh out loud in public places. Parents really don’t understand sometimes, even though lately, I can see why they wouldn’t. But still. Also, I guess some people knew my taste more than I did.

Daddy told you, better bring your ass home Cinderella better get your ass home Man I swear the parents just don't understand You ain't gotta be old to be a man Take my hand, come with me to my room Girl I got a suite at the SLS I already know you got expensive taste Take my hand, follow me to my room Tell your little friends you gon' be alright Girl I got a plan for the whole night

Small Worlds- Mac Miller

The world is so small 'til it ain't yeah. I found this song as I was about to shower in Korea hidden in my extensive likes playlist on Spotify. I felt this a lot when I was in Korea. The world felt so big. Korea big enough, the US too far. I love this song for unknown reasons, cause it makes my heart ache. Mac makes my heart ache.

I might trip, I never fall God knows I've came close (Don't try this at home) I know I probably need to do better, fuck whoever Keep my shit together You never told me being rich was so lonely Nobody know me, oh well Hard to complain from this five star hotel I'm always in a rush, I've been thinking too much but

I might trip, I never fall. I’m def not at a five star hotel, but I can see how this could be. I bet it might be lonely. But that doesn’t change the fact that I want to get there to feel it.

Come Back to Earth – Mac Miller

I’m hoping that I’ll come back to earth. Thankfully, I don’t have any desire to send texts lately. But I would like a way out of my head.

My regrets look just like texts I shouldn't send And I got neighbors, they're more like strangers We could be friends I just need a way out of my head I'll do anything for a way out Of my head And don't you know that sunshine don't feel right When you inside all day

I am very very very lonely- Chance the Rapper (youtube)

I’m not that lonely, especially tonight. But yet I did file the cabinets and fixed/broke(?) the disha washa. The lyrics may be mundane and even a little sad, but with the playful tune, I think it’s the perfect feeling myself when I’m alone kinda song.

West Week Ever: Pop Culture In Review - 7/14/17

So, I saw Spider-Man: Homecoming. Unlike most of you, I didn’t love it. I really liked it, but didn’t love it. Part of the issue stems from the legacy of Spider-Man films. I kinda hate how every star has delivered a great performance as Spider-Man, yet the minute the roll is recast, fans with short memories start saying the last guy was “shit”. People love ragging on Tobey Maguire, especially after Spider-Man 3, but he was really good in those first two movies. There’s a Spider-Man for every generation, and he was the Spider-Man we needed in 2002. Sure, he wouldn’t work so well now, but to compare his movies to Homecoming is basically apples to oranges. I also kinda hate when people say “They finally got Spider-Man right!” Um, Tobey already got him right. Andrew Garfield, in his own way, got him right. And Holland is getting him right. For now. They’ve all brought something special and unique to the table, and I think it’s unfair to discount that because there’s some new, shiny thing to take your attention.

All that’s to say that I liked Homecoming, but it didn’t really offer anything new to me. I felt the same wide-eyed wonder seeing Holland do the ferry rescue as I did when Maguire did the same thing with the train in Spider-Man 2. Some might call that an homage, but it just felt…familiar.

What did I love? I loved Tony being there. I felt like there was just enough Tony Stark without the film becoming Iron Man 3.5. It’s always good to see Happy, and this movie did more with him than most of the Iron Man films ever did. I especially love movie Happy since comic Happy is no longer with us (sad trombone). I loved sexy, younger Aunt May, but I’ve loved Marisa Tomei ever since she filled out her college application wrong and ended up at that Black college. I loved the running joke of all the guys commenting on how hot she was. It’s a new concept for May, but it works. I loved the Miles Morales Easter egg (I won’t spoil it here if you didn’t catch it). I loved Not-Ganke (For those not in the know, Ganke is the name of Miles Morales Spider-Man’s best friend, who looks EXACTLY like actor Jacob Batalon), even if I don’t know why they insisted on calling him “Ned Leeds”. I loved that Damage Control was officially revealed. Keaton was great, even if he’s not an Adrian Toomes that I recognize. The Liz Allen swerve was cool, ’cause I really didn’t see that coming.

OK, now for the things I didn’t like. They introduced a good swath of Spidey’s rogue (Mac Gargan, Shocker), all at once as Vulture’s gang, only to be relegated to ancillary characters and henchmen. I know the MCU has a “Villain Problem” of wasting their villains, but this just takes the cake.

Now, this is gonna sound stupid, but I spent a good amount of time trying to reconcile the MCU timeline in my head. The movie starts immediately after Avengers, jumps 8 years to Captain America: Civil War, and then to the present day, which is shortly after the airport battle where Spidey debuted. Now, a big part of Act 3 is the fact that Vulture wants to steal a bunch of Avengers/Stark Tech on Moving Day – when everything was being moved from Avengers Tower to the upstate facility. Now, Tony’s rich, so it’s not like he can’t own multiple properties, but why is Moving Day happening NOW? I mean, the upstate facility debuted at the end of Age of Ultron, we saw it again in Ant-Man, and everyone seemed to be pretty moved in by Civil War. So, why the delay in moving everything up there? Does Homecoming maybe not take place when we think it does? Well, we know it’s post-Civil War because Cap’s hilariously referred to as a war criminal by gym teacher Hannibal Buress. If it were just a thrown away reference, I wouldn’t care, but the whole final action piece is based on this Moving Day concept. Anyway, I think it’s fair to say I probably wasn’t in the right headspace for this movie if that’s where my brain was going.

Oh, and the thing I hated most: that effing MJ reveal! First of all, it accomplished nothing. It was corny, and it was executed just as poorly as when The Dark Knight Rises did it. Secondly, at the end of the day, her name is MICHELLE, not MARY. You can call her “MJ”, but that does not make her Mary Jane. And to be honest, the movie would’ve been fine without her character. While she was funny, it seems like she was woven into the movie solely to make that hamfisted name reveal at the end.

Anyway, I’m sure I’ll watch this movie a bunch more once it hits the premium channels, but I just didn’t fall in love with it as much as a lot of you did. I’m really sorry about that, too, ’cause I really wanted to love it. Something just didn’t work for me entirely, and I can’t put my finger on it exactly.

Things were heating up in the news world this week. Back when NBC announced they had hired Megyn Kelly from Fox News, Today co-anchor Tamron Hall abruptly quit, reportedly because her contract was about to expire. Industry insiders, however, believe it was because it was rumored that Kelly would be given the third hour of Today – where Hall was currently the co-anchor of Today’s Take. Well, that’s somewhat true, as this week it was revealed that Kelly’s show will premiere September 25th, and will feature a live studio audience, like a traditional talk show. It will, in fact, occupy the third hour of Today, sandwiched between the regular Today and the Kathie Lee & Hoda hour of Today. Not to be outdone, it was also announced that Tamron Hall is developing a daytime talk show with Weinstein Television. It’s also believed that, in several major markets, this talk show will go head to head with Kelly’s daytime show. Now the race is on to see which one of them earns the coveted “Fake News” label first!

In other television news, CBS announced an upcoming animated special called Michael Jackson’s Halloween, which sounds kinda sketchy. Apparently, it’s about two Millennials (there’s THAT buzzword), which is basically to say “two shits too young to appreciate the King of Pop’s music”. Anyway, they meet at a party, end up at a weird hotel, and crazy stuff happens – all capped off by a dance number by an animated Michael. If you ask me, he already contributed his greatest gift to the Halloween industry: “Thriller”! Unless this is just a one-hour animated version of “Thriller”, I don’t think the world needs this. Somebody tell his mama to stop letting his estate make crap like this.

Things You Might Have Missed This Week

John Cho joins Fox’s The Exorcist next season. While some are all, “Yay, representation!”, I’m like “Why the F is Sulu doing television?!” Well, I guess since Kumar’s already doing television…

In a move that’s somewhat baffling to me, Lucy Liu will direct the season 2 premiere of Netflix’s Luke Cage

Speaking of Netflix, Bojack Horseman season 4 will premiere on September 8th.

Fresh of the Boat dad Randall Park has been cast as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jimmy Woo in Ant-Man & The Wasp

Netflix has also renewed the Castlevania animated series for a second season

Jeremy Renner essentially broke both arms while filming the movie Tag, though it’s not expected to affect production on Avengers: Infinity War.

Smallville‘s Lois Lane, Erica Durance, is taking over the role of Alura from Laura Benanti on Supergirl.

Despite flopping in North America, the Baywatch film is on track to make $100 million overseas

Showtime is planning a sequel to the hit lesbian series The L Word. If it were up to me, it’d be called The K Word, and it would be about non-binary gender Millennials as they make their way through NYC, but nobody pays me for these ideas, so…

After 27 years of voicing Kermit the Frog, it was revealed that Steve Whitmire was fired back in October, and it currently lobbying to get his job back. Apparently, it’s not east being Steve.

In probably the biggest TV news this week (at least for the geek set), it was announced that AT&T Lily herself, Milana Vayntrub, has been cast as Squirrel Girl in Marvel’s New Warriors on Freeform. I cared NOTHING about this show until that announcement. It still doesn’t really inspire any confidence for me, as I don’t know if the superhero comedy genre works on television (see Powerless), but I’m definitely more inclined to check it out than I had been prior to the announcement. I mean, who doesn’t love that chick?! I love her in the commercials, I loved her in Other Space, and I even loved her as a bitchy ex-girlfriend in Love. Here’s hoping this leads to the big break she deserves. It was a slow entertainment news week so, ya know what, Milana Vayntrub had the Breas…I mean West Week Ever.

44. FIRST GOOD CHILDHOOD MEMORY THAT POPS INTO YOUR HEAD: My parents brought me and my brother to Vegas as kids cause my mom’s friend was doing a show there. The city was just...incredible. All the lights and the big hotel and THE M&M STORE. Yeah, we loved all of that (because that’s all it would’ve been to two small children). Like... the place we stayed had one of those jacuzzi bathtubs and it was literally the coolest thing. Plus, it’s funny in retrospect cause the show was the Producers, which...if you’ve seen the show, there’s a lot of stuff...implied in that show that went totally over our heads. It’s fun when you go back to see it years later and realize that one of the guys is a Neo-Nazi? I mean, probably like 10-ish year old me wouldn’t have understood that. Apparently my parents kinda got shit about that for a while, taking us to see it while we were so young, but if your kids don’t get it, it doesn’t end up being a huge problem?

45. IF YOU COULD VISIT ANY HISTORICAL TIME PERIOD, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? Not a time period exactly but, I’d totally wanna see the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, all lit by electricity and just...feel what that would’ve been like. (Also Tesla is my fave)

46. FAVOURITE IDLE DAYDREAM? I literally just daydream about fic. That’s it at this point

47. FAVOURITE ARTIST, MODERN OR HISTORICAL? Where’s the cut-off between modern and historical, exactly? I’m fond of Marcel Duchamp cause Dada is literally the most ridiculous thing ever and I enjoy it. I get a good laugh out of it. That’s not a good reason, but it’s the truth.

48. FAVORITE BOARD GAME? I tend toward more card games but...I played Catan for the first time a few months ago and really want another go at it. I’ve also wanted ‘Tsuro’ since at least a few years ago, but cool board games are expensive...

49. DREAM VACATION DESTINATION? New Zealand!

COFFEE OR TEA: I’m a huge tea drinker, but not the tea you buy in bag right, the real tea that’s kinda expensive and that you drink with a slice of lemon or a lil bit of mil like a 19th century British aristocrat, but it’s not something I couldn’t live without. While coffee is a must have if you want to get something out of me before noon.

4. BOOKS OR MOVIES: If you’d asked me this question last year, i would hav said books, without the slightest hesitation. But now I’m a senior at uni and time is something I don’t have anymore, so I’ve turned to movies to entertain me (and fanfiction, always fanfiction, I’d rather not sleep than stop reading fanfiction).

5. WINDOWS OR MAC: I have both, but I don’t use them for the same stuff. I really like Mac for a number of reasons, but most of the time Windows is a better fit for whatever shady stuff I do on my laptop.

6. DC OR MARVEL: Marvel, that’s not even a real question.

7. XBOX OR PLAYSTATION: Playstation. I scarcely play but when I do, it’s on playstation.

8. DRAGON AGE OR MASS EFFECT: pardon my French but what the hell is that?

9. NIGHT OWL OR EARLY RISER: Early riser, not doubt. I’m a literal grandma, when the sun sets I go to bed, I need my 10 hours of sleep.

10. CARDS OR CHESS: Cards, I guess? by elimination bc I don’t play chess.

11. CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA: Vanilla girl over there

12. VANS OR CONVERSE: Vans

13. LAVELLAN, TREVELYAN, CADASH, OR ADAAR: No idea what this means

14. FLUFF OR ANGST: I have nothing against fluff but most of the time people don’t know when to stop and it turns into a marshmallow shit fest, so angst (as long as I can look forward to a happy ending)

15. BEACH OR FOREST: Beach

16. DOGS OR CATS: LISTEN FOLKS, until a few days ago I would have said cats but I just got attacked by a murder crazed stray cat in the street and my right forearm still showcases an impressive number of bloody bite marks and scartches so fuck you cats, now I prefer dogs

17. CLEAR SKIES OR RAIN: Rain, i’m a rain kinda gal

18. COOKING OR EATING OUT: Is this an actual choice or am I simply too poor to afford eating out? I’ll have to go for cooking #LivingTheStudentLife

19. SPICY OR MILD FOOD: I am very sad to say that I have a weak, white-people constution and spicy food doesn’t sit well on my stomach even if I like eating it.

20. HALLOWEEN/SAMHAIN OR SOLSTICE/YULE/CHRISTMAS: Halloween

21. WOULD YOU RATHER FOREVER BE A LITTLE TOO COLD OR A LITTLE TOO HOT: Anyone who knows me knows that I have random heat strokes that are ruining my life and I hate above average temperatures which is why I constantly threaten to go live in Iceland. I’d rather be continuously cold than be a little too hot all the time. Actually, I’d rather die.

22. IF YOU COULD HAVE A SUPERPOWER WHAT WOULD IT BE: Something that has to do with the mind, nothing physical like super strength or the ability to fly. Like mind reading would be cool but not enough. Super intelligence probably, I don’t know if my ego can take it but I would sure like to know that wherever I go I’m always the smartest person in the room (cocky much? maybe a little bit)

23. ANIMATION OR LIVE ACTION: Animation I’d say

24. PARAGON OR RENEGADE: Still don’t know what that means

25. BATH OR SHOWER: Bath, with a book, and something to drink and music aaaah yesss

26. TEAM CAP OR TEAM IRONMAN: If I listen to my head: Team Ironman (I even made a ‘Team Ironman’ shirt for the Civil War premiere lol) but my heart tells me to go in whichever team Bucky Barnes is

27. FANTASY OR SCI-FI: Fantasy.

28. DO YOU HAVE 3 OR 4 FAVORITE QUOTES IF SO WHAT ARE THEY:

“A woman is only vulnerable when her nail polish is drying, and even then she can still pull a trigger.”

“My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.”- Laurell K. Hamilton

“You don’t understand an antagonist until you understand why he’s a protagonist in his own version of the world.”- John Rogers

What is bad for the heart is good for the art. The terrible irony of our lives as artists. - Jandy Nelson, I’ll Give You the Sun

29. YOUTUBE OR NETFLIX: Youtube. Mainly because I don’t have Netflix, but I do watch more series than videos.

30. HARRY POTTER OR PERCY JACKSON: Harry Potter, what even is this question??

32. STAR WARS OR STAR TREK: S T A R W A R S (I have a Stormtrooper tattooed on my chest if it’s any indicator)

33. PAPERBACK BOOKS OR HARDCOVER BOOKS: Paperbacks, they are just more practical. But when I really like a series of books, I buy the Harcovers (Harry Potter, Twilight [yes well, I was young], most of my historical fictions)

34. FANTASTIC BEASTS OR CURSED CHILD: Fantastic Beasts. Let’s just not talk about the mess that was the cursed child plot.

35. ROCK OR POP MUSIC: If I have to choose, rock. But I listen to whatever sounds good to me, no discrimination of music genres here.

36. WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN YOUR LIFE: I’ll have to agree with @reivenesque and go with myself. Everything else is either materialistic or temporary. People are temporary and feelings are temporary, so I really would be a hypocrite if I said ‘love’ or ‘friendship’ because i’ve lost both already and all that’s left is me. Love yourself first guys.

37. THE LAST BOOK YOU READ/THE ONE YOU’RE CURRENTLY READING: Ooooh boy, I remember the last book I started, but not the last one I finished. Unless we’re talking fanfictions too? Well, the last piece of writing I finished is Mon Ami, Mon Amant, Mon Amour (My Friend, My Lover, My Love), by Laney (It’s a dramione fanfiction in French) and if we’re only talking actual published novels, I started The Dressmaker, by Rosalie Ham

38: SONG THAT MAKES YOU SMILE/SONG THAT MAKES YOU CRY: Don’t laug at me but Never Gonna Give You Up will never fail to put a smile on my face, and as for the sad one it’s Mad World (the Sense8 verion)

39. SUSHI OR WANTON SOUP: Sushis, I coudl live off of sushis

40. SPRING OR AUTUMN: Spring, because my birthday’s in Spring and it’s the end of school

41. DRAWING OR WRITING: Writing

42. SINGING OR DANCING: I can’t do either but that’s not what’s going to stop me from doing both

43. TV SHOW/MOVIE/BOOK THATS LIKE YOUR HAPPY PLACE, SOMETHING THAT ALWAYS MAKES YOU SMILE: 

Movies: Mamma Mia!; 10 Things I hate about you; Ever After;

TV Shows: Sweet/Vicious; Gossip Girl; Merlin; Vicious

Books: Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine; After Class (Bucky Barnes fanfic) by Team Damon; The Politician’s Wife (Dramione fanfic) by pir8fancier; La Vie est une Chienne (Life’s a Bitch, dramione fanfic) by Brunhild-Ana

44. FIRST GOOD CHILDHOOD MEMORY THAT POPS INTO YOUR HEAD: nothing comes to mind if I’m being honest.

45. If you could be any animal what would you be and why?: If being a unicorn is off the table than I’m going to go for a cat. It’s both fluffy and deadly like me

46. What’s the best joke you’ve ever heard: I don’t like this kind of question, I usually forget every joke I’ve ever heard when someone asks me that and most of those I’m heard are in French anyway so... I swear I’m a funny person, but more like a sarcastic, quick on the draw kind of funny

I TAG @bathshebaa @malfoygasmic @s-kamimagines @iheartsatang @marvelsbitch @angelicawastaken @demonindistress @skamous @highsunflowerr
