#i respect larries that can see a whole situation

[roman-cup]

hhhhh Thinking about how so many people in Phoenix's life just. Leave, for one reason or another.

When he was a kid, Miles was someone who was so important to him, and he just disappeared from class one day and Phoenix had zero idea why. Which later had such a effect on him that once he sees Miles has become a prosecutor, he changes his college major just for the chance to see him again

But in college when he was working on that law degree, he meets Dahlia. And they start dating (Ignoring the iris situation rn) and he is so happy and like lovesick about the whole thing. He ate glass for her. She frames him for murder and goes to jail and obviously he loses her there.

But at least he met Mia from that! Mia became his mentor and he cared deeply for her. And she ends up dying after Phoenix first ever case. (Even after she dies her profile still describes her as "A friend forever" or something like that. ) Mia is still around because Maya and Pearl but she isn't really THERE.

He meets Maya. They aren't really That close in Ace Attorney 1. I think they are both still grieving for Mia to intensely, and in different ways, to really gain that connection just yet. Plus at the time Phoenix is very focused on Miles, that he doesn't really notice how upset Maya is.

But Phoenix does care about her. And she leaves for a bit too. Like. She has every right too of course, I respect her for it. But afterwards Phoenix spends months NOT taking any cases because he misses her so much. The only reason he takes the Lana Skye case is because Ema reminded him of Maya.

And sometime after the Lana Skye case, Miles "The prosecution choices death" Edgeworth fakes his death. Leaving Phoenix now alone and with no closure. Maya is still gone, he doesn't actually like Larry, and even if he did, Larry isn't the kind of guy he can have a serious talk about stuff with, with stuff like this. Phoenix has zero support system. Not that he would open up even if he did, but he doesn't even really have the option.

Maya comes back, to her being accused of murder, but its ok. Phoenix helps her and they have each other's backs.

Maya gets kidnapped.

This is so different then her just leaving to take a short train ride over to her village. Phoenix is nervous that she might die, and Maya actively encourages him to get Matt a guilty verdict even though she WILL DIE and he can't do anything about it.

and then Miles comes back with his smug "Your hatred for me is one-sides" or whatever he said and ahhh, Phoenix deserved to just break down right there. Phoenix had been angerly grieving for a man who was still alive, and now he's here, alive, and also his best friend has been kidnapped and also he has to babysit Pearl. And Miles doesn't seem to realize/want to realize the effect he has had on Phoenix and I know he was going though his own stuff but ahhh.

They get Maya back and Miles leaves AGAIN after this. Phoenix and Miles seemed more mutually ok with it this time but still!

And then there is bridge to turnabout with the whole Iris thing and also he thought Maya was dead for some time there and AHhh

This post has gone off track but like. ahhhh.

For the Judge Larry AU, I just had the idea of how Larry might affect Investigations 2 and the characters from that game. On one hand, I can imagine him having a slightly tense relationship with Justine Courtney at first, with Justine thinking him too casual and lenient while Larry probably doesn't have much beef with her. On the other hand, I had the mental image of him consoling Sebastian, I don't know how exactly it would happen but it works so well.

Listen.

Listen.

Justine Courtney is firmly of the belief that judges being emotional is a weakness and detrimental to the impartiality a judge requires and thinks Edgeworth is corrupt/unfit to work as a prosecutor.

Larry Butz is one of the most emotional people on the planet and considers Edgeworth one of the most admirable people he knows.

If these two meet it will be on sight, you want to walk into his courtroom and insult one of his prosecutors' competence and skill level and replace him with an obviously inferior model? Penalty! Penalty on you, penalty on your family, penalty on your cow-!!! This is a Larry who's still whimsical and artistic and a hopeless romantic, but he also managed to get into and pass law school. He's an official judge, he's in a position of respect and authority and been forced to get his act together better as a result. Which means that, while canon!Larry is still riddled with self-doubt and probably a decent amount of self-hate he needs to work on, Judge Larry has a decent amount of confidence in himself and his position. Will he bring popcorn with him to a trial if he knows the lawyers involved are going to be entertaining to watch? Of course! But he's absolutely aware that he's got the final say over the goings-on of any court he's presiding over, and it's had a positive effect on him.

Prior to this series of events, Justine and Larry probably knew of each other and disapproved of each others' styles, Justine thinking he's compromising his integrity, Larry claiming that if you don't get emotionally invested in a trial then you won't be able to preside over it with full commitment, but they hadn't really interacted. Now though? They've been set against each other, they each have a boy in the ring, and it is on.

So basically the whole situation just got skewed a bit more in Kay and Edgeworth's favour, but it also got a lot more chaotic. Sadly I don't see this version of Larry consoling Sebastian, since he's viewing the guy more as a threat and insult to one of his oldest friends than anything else, so that role's going to have to stay with Edgeworth. I can see canon!Larry lending Sebastian a shoulder to cry on and whatever words of comfort he can manage, that has the potential to be a fun interaction!

Thanks for the ask!

The gilded age 02x08, In Terms of Winning and Losing, my thoughts...

Please excuse any spelling errors. My brain is sleepy so its not working too well. 😰

I'm still having feelings over last night season 2 finale. We can't say they didn't pack the episode until it nearly burst that's for sure.

I'm going start at the end because it still tickles me that Aunt Ada is now head of the Van Rhijn household. (They went omg free fall everything ending, to oh wait we're fine. One oh the fastest turn around ever). Which will now be known as Fronte household. Thank you, Mr. Bannister for pointing it out. Because truthfully I was clueless as every body else until he asked Aunt Ada if it ok. Than it all clicked... Omg Aunt Ada is now the big cheese! The look on her face was brilliant! In that moment we seen her take her power, completely imbody it. We clearly see her mind calculating on all the changes she's going to make. It one exceptional piece of acting from Cynthia Nixon. She doesn't utter a word during it, it's all in facial expressions and her body movements. It's just as powerful. She's so very talented!

Look on Aunt Agnes face made giggle as she realizes the role in her own house have reversed on her. That her little sister is now in charge. I don't mean in unkind way whatsoever. The relationship and dynamics between these two sisters have been certain ways for most likely all their lives up to this point, but now Aunt Agnes is going to have to listen to Aunt Ada in way is never did before. I personally think it's going to good for the whole household. Aunt Ada is kind and compassionate that will benefit everyone in that household especially Aunt Agnes.

I did love When Aunt Ada ask Marian if finally broke off her engagement with Dashiell, because she know he wasn't right for her. Lol it was too brilliant. I love Aunt Ada so much!!

So yes finally Marian broke off her engagement to Dashiell!! I cheered when that happened!! It's like damn woman took you long enough. But after he called her by his dead wife's name, creepy that was the last straw. No one can blame the man for still being in love with his dead wife. We all know that heart doesn't work that way, just because their no longer here doesn't make our love just stop. It's ultimately more to what Marian said, that their not well matched, they don't want the same things and their not in love with each other. I'm just glad she found her back bone and got out before it was too late.

I'm personally so happy about that kiss bewteen Marian and Larry, I was yelling kiss, kiss, kiss the whole time! I think their well matched in every way. Larry definitely be ok with Marian teaching or anything else she wants to do. Now thanks to Aunt Ada she won't come penniless to the whole thing because we know Aunt Ada won't allow that!! I'll put odds on it! Only issue as we all know may be Bertha. Perhaps not though so much with Larry, she does like Marian. We'll see... I did like the little scene bewteen Marian and Frances. I felt quite a bit of empathy for Frances, she was just a little girl looking for a mom. I'm glad Marian was able to reassure for her that she will still be very much in her life just not as her step-mother.

I'm so happy for Jack that he got his patent approved. It was such a brilliant idea of Peggy's that he go talk to Larry about it. That Larry wants to go into business with Jack on his alarm clock. Love it. It was so amazing what happen then.

Peggy deciding to leave her job at The Globe was probably the only way to deal with her feelings for her boss

I'm sad for her because she was doing something she loved. But he was just too casual about the whole cheating on my wife no doubt done more times then Peggy would of ever found out about. She deserves so much better. This also showed that she as alot of self respect, self worth, and self confidence. To not only not fall for his bs, but to walk away when she clearly had feelings but knew it was a bad situation for her. Women now a days can learn alot from her. I was also nice to see perhaps the rift bewteen Peggy and her father may be softening. That her mother and father are getting back to loving terms with each other.

I was very sad to see Mr. Watson go but to know that he'll be part of his daughter and grand children lives makes it a happy going. I'm glad his daughter let her wishes known and kinda defy he husband by going to talk to her dad.

Now the opera war. I never thought Bertha wouldn't pull it off. There's just something about that woman that scream WIN. I'm not surprised she got the Duke back, because she something or someone Mrs. Astor doesn't that alone I knew would enough to turn the Duke back to her side. That is Gladys of course. Now am I ok that's a good chance that Bertha sold Gladys into marriage with the Duke no I'm not! I love Bertha I truly do. However her own ambition I feel is an issue, it's a blinding thing, it's all consuming, it power over everything. I fear what that will do to her in future. Ambition can be good until it takes complete control of a person. Because the need to win, to be number one, to defeat those against you makes you forget about who truly loves you. I don't want to see that be the path for Bertha. Because at her core I don't believe she's her ambition. If she was she wouldn't of done the nice gesture for Mrs. Bruce by giving her the tickets to opening night of Met. Bertha does show incredible care and kindness to her staff. Which is something I truly love about her. Always the way she is with the people she's made friends with. Unlike Mrs. Astor who treats everyone like they should be kissing her ass. Bertha genuinely nice, kind, sweet and funny. So I want to her ambition hurt the rest of her, hurt her life, completely destroy her relationship with her daughter, her son and her husband. Because her ambition isn't worth losing her family that loves her. Alright enough said on that. To good stuff.

Seeing Mrs. Astor lose was brilliant! She at more than half empty Academy still trying to pretend everything's fine...while a death rattle could heard in the background. I wanted to tell Aunt Agnes and Oscar to get the fuck out of there, go with Mrs. Fish, save yourselves!!

Turner fuming was hilarious and her husband being completely over it just made all the better. I got feelings he just wanted to say to her could just sit down and shut it already damn for some peace and quiet. All day and night it's Mrs. Russell this and Mrs. Russell that. Should never marry you fuck!

I loved both Bertha and Gladys gowns. The colors were beautiful. Especially like how the colors deep green pattern against lighter green of Bertha's made her stand out in her box at Met, couldn't miss her if you wanted too. Marian gown was very cool I really liked ruching by shoulders and neck. But I think my favorite gown belonged to Aurora, blue and white and sparkly it was gorgeous. That's one I would've wanted to wear.

I so did love seeing Bertha get her moment, she was floating on air there. Especially when she walk through the doors of her central box after nearly crying because George got back for her. To the whole of the Metropolitan filled. Although the boxes where bigger then I thought they be. All I could recall was when I watched The Age of Innocent because that begins at the opera, it's very much in a similar time frame as The Gilded Age. But I like the ones at the Met better, they can call over and talk to each other like friends do. It seems less stuffy and more social and fun. One of my favorite moments was when Bertha caught sight of Mrs. Bruce and Mr. Baudin and gives them a little wave, it was so cute and endearing.

Mrs. Bruce was very cute through out being at an opera house for the first time.

I'm so sad it's the final episode of the season. All I know is HBO better renew for 3rd season!! Because it's official my favorite series, I don't want it going anywhere for a long long time!!

The Background People of Firewatch AU

There's a couple of oc characters in firewatch au that diverge from this, but early on I knew I wanted the majority of people (originally everyone) Grian encountered to be nice to him. I wanted the story to be full of people that, whether Grian saw it or not, cared enough to help. Probably because the closing lines of The Martian by Andy Weir permanently rewired my brain ever since I read it like 9 years ago:

“If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do.”

Grian's client in the first chapter, the rich guy he's not very fond of, actually releases Grian early from a meeting because he can tell he's distracted. He's a little rude about it, but he lets Grian go because he recognizes Grian is worried about something.

The lady who accepts Grian's call when he reports Mumbo missing is sweet and calls him darling. She's the same person at the desk when Grian appears the next day to join the search, and she gently directs him to a motel to get some sleep in. She sees a man she's never met, and wants him to rest.

Scar, of course, is the whole point of the story. He was always determined to care.

The unnamed ranger who tells Grian they have to suspend the search because of nearby fires does so both candidly and kindly.

It's not a direct interaction with Grian, but the lady in the Forest Service office gives information to Scar (possibly at risk of her job since it was not allowed) to help him out on behalf of Grian.

Pearl and Jimmy, of course, are trying desperately to support Grian in their respective flashback sequences.

We learn in Pearl's flashback sequence that Grian's acquaintances in Colorado were also hoping to help support him before he ghosted them instead.

The pair of seasonal employees that come to collect Mumbo's bike are both stated to be super friendly to Grian, and try to help him with information even though they're new.

Linda, the woman working the desk at the District Ranger station, is actually nothing but nice to Grian the entire time. His perception of her is only negatively colored by his own paranoia/suspicion/grief, but reading between the lines all her actions are either kind or highly reasonable given the circumstances. Like, of course she's critical of Grian when she catches him breaking into the office, but even then she tries to gently defuse the situation.

Martinez the hotshot wildland firefighter is very happy to help save Grian, and does his best to keep trying to reassure/cheer Grian.

There's a few exceptions for people who the narrative doesn't paint in a good light. Idiots with fireworks will be idiots. Scar's boss reprimands him, but only very reasonably: Scar had been accessing information he wasn't cleared to (a massive no-no in government.) Grian's former boss is terrible towards him—rightfully upset at Grian's failure to show up to work, but expressing it with zero empathy or regards to Grian's situation.

Larry the District Ranger is displayed in a fairly bad light, but his response is mostly measured exactly with Grian's. He starts off understanding toward Grian, but as Grian begins to be more hostile, he reacts to that energy while still maintaining his professionalism. He's meant to be genuine in the scene above when he apologizes to Grian for not finding Mumbo, it's just Grian who doesn't believe it.

But like? Does this all make sense? Do you see it? There's people at every turn who want to help Grian. Nearly everyone he meets is actually kind. Grian may think that the world is out to get him, or that people are hiding things from him, but they're not. I like to think it seeps through the cracks in this story, despite the narrative being influenced by Grian's persistent self-isolation and suspicion. He may be a cynic, but I'm not.

One of my reviewers said this wasn't a story about how unfair life was, but that it was a story about love. I think that's true. I think it's about our connections to people and how we lean on them in the worst of times.

Family Values

a/n: Louis and Harry are baby girl in this

summary: what happens when your family questions your love

It all started in 2011….

“Lou this is about to be the biggest project we’ve worked on.”

You were a family friend of Lou’s and even though she was almost 11 years older than you, you were like sisters and both pursued your careers in hair styling.

“I know but we can’t let them know that. Just act like they are the least of our problems.”

The two girls heard crashing footsteps and the door bursting open. “Are we in the right place?” the first boy asked. “Where supposed to be getting our hair done.”

“Yeah you're in the right place. Come sit.”

“I'm Harry and this Louis.”

“Y/N.”

Through the following years you grew close to all of the boys, but especially Harry and Louis and everyone saw it. It was never spoken upon, just glances between the three of you never going unnoticed. It wasn't until the band went on ‘break’ did conversations start to arise.

“Do you want us the way we want you?”

You knew the ‘larry’ subject was a sensitive topic, purely because management wouldn't allow it. You never understood how they could try and prevent these two wonderful souls from loving who they wanted. 

“We can’t make anything official yet, but I promise, when the time is right.”

Now 5 years after the break, you Louis and Harry were in a committed relationship. You were all doing your own things as of right now. Harry had just started his second tour and Louis was a year into his tour. You were now a designer for Dior.  Before you went official, you would head back home for the holidays to see everyone in your family, reunite and be a ‘proper’ family. But now, it was like walking on eggshells. It wasn't that your family didn't ‘like’ the boys per say. It was the simple fact that there were two of them. You were immune to the questioning glances when one of you would give another or both a kiss, but this Christmas was a whole different story.

You were all sitting around in the large living area of your parents house. The fire was crackling and snow was falling outside, it was the perfect picturesque christmas, until your mother decided to speak up. “You know I used to not understand why you had to pick two boys, but I guess it's so that you can have more children. Maybe they'll have some more common sense, At least you picked two successful boys.'' She laughed quietly at her ‘joke’ and while the majority of your family snickered with her, you, Louis, Harry, and Lou whose family was also there, weren't. “Excuse me, what did you say!?” you were pretty level headed, never one snap when someone attacked you, you simply shrugged it off or spoke to them calmly so as to not escalate the situation anymore.

But this outburst made every mouth close, you were sure you could hear a pin drop. “For one, they have names, Harry and Louis, so stop pretending like you don’t know them. I truly can't believe you, say all you want about me, but keep them out of your mouth. They are nothing but kind to you, they bring you flowers and gifts every time they come, or when Lou and I visit when they can't. What is truly so different in our relationship than you and Pa's? What if there's an extra person? We love each other, just like you and dad. We cherish, and adore, and respect, and make each other the best versions of ourselves, just like you and dad.” you weren't crying. You thought that if this day ever came you would. But you all saw it coming. You had told the boys every time you visited they didn't have to come because something always happened. But they persisted.

“Seriously, y/n. You couldn't have just picked one, the one without the kid.” any hint of the Y/N they knew before was gone, all you saw was red looking at your father. “I cannot believe you just said that. Louis is the best father I know. Way better than you. I don't know what is going through your sick and twisted minds, but we won't be around to find out. We have been nothing but kind and understanding of the difference of our relationship and how it might affect others, but - god- i cannot believe this is what it turned out to be.”

You worked your way out the living area and towards the front where everyone's bags were, wondering why Harry, Louis, and Lou were still in there.

Both boys stood up after you stormed out the room and decided now was the best time to speak. “You may not like our relationship with your daughter, or niece, or cousin, whoever she is to you; but that should never get in the way of your relationship with her.” Harry spoke as he grabbed Louis' shaky hand. “We ask her to come, to try and show you that we can become a family. Never again try to contact her, or any of us. And never again, do I want to hear you say anything about Louis and his fatherhood.” He knew if he said more he would never stop. He looked at Lou who seemed ready to go and walked out to where he knew you would be.

The drive to the hotel after dropping Lou off was quiet, as was the journey up to the room. It was only when they were in the confines of the hotel room did you start to cry. Two warm bodies caught you as you sank to the floor. “I'm sorry,” you repeated over and over again. You wished you could wash away the words your parents spoke to them. “You have nothing to be sorry for.” Louis kissed the top of your head to seal in his words. “Their actions and words do not define you. We love you.” Harry knew exactly what you were thinking. Louis' phone started ringing and when he checked it, it was Liam. They had given Freddy to Liam while they were away as his mom was no longer in the picture.

“I'll call him back later, it's okay.” but you shook your head and wiped your tears. “Answer. It might be Freddy.'' When he clicked accept on the facetime call you saw Freddy closest to the screen and Liam and his son, Bear, behind him. “Hi lad.” The instant joy that was in his voice as he saw his son made you smile and you and Harry quickly moved into frame. “ hi love.” you smiled and waved watching freddy almost drop the phone but Liam catching it. “Who is that Freddy? Say hi.”

“Hi mumma.”

And it seemed everyone froze. You watched Liam do a double take, Harry's arm squeezing your waist a little tighter, and Louis, who had tears in his eyes. The three of you had always talked about what you and Harry would be to Freddy as your relationship blossomed around the time he was born. Freddy had already been calling Harry, Papa H or H, which he had you to blame for calling him that one time as a joke. But he had never said anything about you. 

You all figured it was because he did have his mom until he no longer needed her and she left the picture. You came to realize that Freddys brain was now recognizing you as mom because you were a constant in his life. Or he was just confused.

“Hi Freddy. What are you doing?” you moved on as if nothing happened simply taking it as a slip up. “We're drawing.” His mixed accent of Louis and you and Harry made you smile. “What are you drawing lad?” It was Harry's turn to get over his initial shock. You watched as Liam told Freddy to get his drawing as he looked at the camera with a look you all picked up on as ‘what the fuck?’ Freddy came back into frame with his picture.

He started pointing out who was who and when he got to the brown skinned stick figure (which made you chuckle) he said it again. “And that mumma.” This time everyone knew it wasn't an accident. “That's your mum lad?” Liam asked, still seeing you three in shock. “Yeah, that's Y/N. She's mummy cause I love her and she loves me.” you practically melted and smiled so hard your cheeks hurt.

When the call ended you made Harry and Louis pack their stuff as you wanted to go home and cuddle with your family. And that you did. When Liam opened his door a day later Freddy came running into your arms.

[your-sweetest-nightmares-blog]

I binged the entire show on YouTube the day it premiered and am now about to dump my thoughts about it on you all. Warning for spoilers below the cut, obviously.

• More focus on characterization! It’s funny and rather fitting that Duck is snooty AF. Love this high and mighty gremlin grandpa. He’s one of my favorite characters.

• The phone honestly sounded like she was trying to seduce Red Guy at first. I mean, I know that just being friendly to someone doesn’t mean you’re flirting with them, obviously, but her voice just gave me such an infatuated vibe for some reason.

• I thought Duck Guy was going to swallow the coin. He did not, in fact, swallow the coin.

• Everything Duck says is funny. “Attention freaks” and “they’re pretending they don’t respect me” are my favorite quotes of his so far.

• As a person who likes the sound of screaming, the screaming in this show is lovely.

• Speaking of screaming, Red Guy screams a bit in this show. 1.) I never thought I’d hear him scream and 2.) I think he happens to scream the perfect amount for someone in his situation.

• Duck’s coffin shenanigans were pretty funny. End of story.

• When you meet a business man, you must shake him by the hand! When you meet a family man, you must shake him by the hand! When you meet the choo-choo man, yoU MUST SHAKE HIM BY THE HA-! 🎶

• “There’s Four of Us” was even cuter than “There’s Three of Us”!

• The teacher cameos are nice. Crazy how the gang are so chill with them now, huh? Larry sounds different (maybe that’s his Sober Voice) and Steak Guy’s appearance genuinely startled me. No sketchbook, though. Wonder if we’ll see her again?

• ROY RETURNS AND WE HEAR HIM SPEAK. I don’t get why he ate the Freak Family, though.

• *When Duck Guy and Red Guy start fighting over who the dad is* Me: Ladies, please! You both can be the dad.

• Fr though, when Duck said he is the dad and Yellow is the pet, I deadass thought he was going to say that Red is the mum.

• Duck looks so fab in drag. ✨

• What’s with the Colin plant at the start of episode 4? Can Colin dispense seeds or computer chips that act as seeds or something?

• Colin said “I love you.” 🥰

• The gang fighting killed me. Yellow Guy really went at the other two with a CHAINSAW. Imagine being one of the teachers in the house when this was happening lmao. And I’m pretty sure Duck called either Yellow or Red a bastard as well.

• Also, is it just me, or are they generally much meaner to each other now? Maybe it’s because we didn’t get many interactions in the web series.

• In fact, how did they end up living together under one roof in the first place? They can’t even eat food together in peace.

• Let’s be honest here: Duck is probably going to do with that rock what he wanted to do to the Mayor’s prized bowling ball. “Private business”, ey? Also, my man is definitely down bad for that shredder.

• Those three legit drove a “corpse” through the wall and went on long ass ride with it. Would that be considered grand theft auto or kidnapping? Maybe both?

• Poor Red Guy. :( He just wants a happier life away from the teachers’ horrid lessons. :(

• The scene with the Time Child and Tony’s “They’re not here!” was pretty cool. What a time to leave the house, am I right?

• My least favorite teacher is Warren the worm/eagle. Sorry to those who like him, but the little motherfucker is insufferable in my (rat) eyes. He does need friends, though.

• “WHAT ABOUT MY SHREDDER?~” 🎶

• Come to think of it, all of Duck’s songs are straight fire. 🔥

• The whole “I like looking at you” scene was ✨Gay✨ and no one can tell me otherwise.

• Also, the “Why don’t you experiment on each other?” scene that came before that was sort of fruity as well. Duck Guy: 😏 “So, would you be keen-“ Red Guy: 😒🤚“You’re not to touch me.” I feel that most of the fandom slept on this moment.

• LESLEY!!! I wonder if she is aware of what Roy did?

• Something about this show gave me a sort of “off” feeling for some reason, but other than that, I enjoyed it. I hope we get another season.

oh i think industry IS manipulative as a whole both for artists and fans. is like common practice. i don't think H/L always do stuff purposely to hurt or cheer a group or another, although sometimes SOMETIMES it's pretty obvious how those groups will respectively take any news, lyrics, promo type.(like leaking lyrics to larry blogs then focusing an entire album promo on something that makes them targets? not cool) and this dynamic can easily become toxic when someone start to invalidate themselves or their feelings cause "it wasn't what a good fan would do". like putting their idols above anything or any criticism. not saying it's the case, we can do more than one thing at the time lol but is hard to see the line sometimes, when one posts an opinion and immediately has people saying they're invalidating or blaming someone who's closeted. or that after years and YEARS and reinforcing the importance of researching and understanding the fandom people just say we know nothing, everything's changed and we have no right to complain or question cause it's not our lives or careers. feels invalidating. sure it ISN'T our lives no one owes us anything, except that maybe we're fans of the person beyond the artist and want to continue to do so and just understand? again not really this situation just my two cents about complex feelings in fandom, thank you!

yeah, more or less agree with you. the moral policing about who is a fan or who isn't needs to stop

Mini Fanfic #1073: Morning Coffee Date (Super Smash Bros Ultimate X Mother 3)

9:34 a.m. at LeBlanc Café...........

Ludwig: (Chuckles Lightly) You punched the prince from across the room with ease?

Kumatora: (Snorts into a Laugh) Yep!~ With no force or strings attached. It was never really my intent to hurt the guy in the first place, but he kept yammering on and on about how I don't look, dress, act like a.....(Moves Both of her Two Fingers Up and Down) "Proper Lady" and tried to kiss me numerous of times. And this all happened AFTER his parents tried to get us arranged for that dumb marriage, can you believe that crap!?

Ludwig: That happened more often than you think I'm afraid. But I'm glad you didn't went through the ordeal in the end.

Kumatora: (Smirks Playfully at her Date in Front of Her) Why? You jealous of him or something?~

Ludwig: (Playfully Scoffs) Oh please. It'll be a sad day if I ever get jealous of privileged brat like him. I just find the idea getting married in an young age ridiculous is all.

Kumatora: Right? Like, I'm all for mushy romance and junk, but not to the point of me getting hitched against ny own free will by some rando I've never met in my life! (Place her Cheek on Top of her Knuckle While Pouting) Really starting to tick me off here.....

Ludwig: It's best not to think too about the situation entirely. It'll do your mental psyche all the better.

Kumatora: ('Sigh') Yeah, you do have a point there. (Takes a Sip of her Coffee Before Smiling Again) Instead, let's talk about that crappy nickname of yours~

Ludwig: (Grimamce at the Thought) Do we really have to talk about it now? I'd rather not relive that embarrassing part of my past......

Kumatora: (Clasps her Hands Together as She Gives Ludwig the Puppy Dog) Pleeeease?~ I promise I won't make fun of you for it.

Ludwig: ('Sighs in Defeat') Alright. If you're really going to fulfill your promise.....When we were younger and before Junior was born, my siblings and I would give each other nicknames, most if not all of them are more juvenile in their own right. Larry was given the name "Cheatsy", Morton has "Big Mouth", Wendy has "Kootie Pie", Lemmy and Iggy was called "Hip & Hop" respectively, Roy has "Bully surprise-surprise, and I was unfortunate enough to be called.....('Sigh').......Kooky.....

Kumatora: (Starts Snickering, Trying her Hardest Not to Laugh) K-Kooky?~

Ludwig: ('Sigh') Yes, Kooky, starting with the letter K. My childhood growing up, was anything but proper. (Pick his Phone Up From his Side of the Table as Starts Searching for Something On It) I was sleep deprived, talked into this made up evil scientist accent, and my hair was a complete mess. (Shows Kuma a Picture Of his Younger Self on hus Phone) See?

Kuma: (Eyes Widened at the Picture Before Slowly Breaks into Laughter) Oh my godhahaha!~ You look like an eveil little munchkin!~

????????: I know, right?~

Ludwig looks up to see Futuba and Yusuke standing behind Kumatora's seat while looking at the picture themselves.

Yusuke: Despite its messiness, the hairstyle seems to fitted quite well to be frank.

Futuba: (Smiles Brightly at Ludwig) You didn't tell us you were such a cutie back then, Luddy!~

Kumatora: LUDDY!? (Laughs Louder as She Buries her Head onto the Table and Starts Banging on it)

Ludwig: (Puts on a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Ah yes. How could I ever forget my current nickname? (Turns his Attention to Futuba and Yusuke) What brings you two here? Besides poking fun at abnormal childhood.

Futuba: Oh nothing of the sorts. I called Inari over here so we can have ourselves a morning date.

Ludwig: Morning date? (Eyes Widened at the Realization) Wait. The two of you are an actually couple now?

Futuba: (Happily Nodded) Yep!~ About time, huh?

Yusuke: (Smiles Softly) We're still adjusting to the whole ordeal ourselves, but I believe it won't be that much of a problem so long as we're together. (Gets Happily Hugged by his Girlfriend Beside Him)

Ludwig: I see.

Kumatora: (Finally Calming Herself Down by Panting) Really?.....Wow......(Wipes a Single Tear From her Eyes) ('Whew') That's great to hear.....

Ludwig: Yes it is. (Starts Smirking a Bit Evilly) Excellent even.......

Futuba: (Slowly Raises an Eyebrow at the Eldest Koopaling) Luddyyyyyyy.......What's with that Smirk on your face?

Ludwig: Ohhh nothing of the sorts. Just thinking of a favor I need from you is all.

Futuba: Which is?

Ludwig: Would you be a dear and give Yusuke a kiss on the lips so I can take pictures?

Futuba: (Eyes Widened in Complete Shock While Blushing) WHAAAAT!? HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT YUSUKE JUST SAID!? WE'RE STILL ADJUSTING HERE!!! W-WE NEVER EVEN KISSED BEFORE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!

Yusuke: Wait, didn't I kissed you under the Mistletoe that one time?

Futuba: (Turns to Yusuke) It was on the cheek, Inari, and we weren't even dating that time!

Yusuke: But your face has gotten red at the time like you are now-

Futuba: (Face Starts Getting Redder) HOW IS THAT EVEN REMOTELY RELATED TO THE CONVERSATION AT HAND!?

Kumatora: Well, if we're talking howkisses goes, shouldn't that one technically counts as a first one?

Futuba: Not if it's not on the lips!?

Sojiro: (Standing Behind the Counter While Sighing) My baby girl has her first kiss already? Really am getting old........

Futuba: (Points at Her Coffee Dad) YOU STAY OUT IF THIS, SOJIRO! (Grabs Both Sides of her Head and Looks Up at the Ceiling in Frustration) ('Arggggh') This is getting us nowhere......(Angrily Points at Ludwig) YOU! Explain why you want us to kiss, right now!!

Ludwig: A bet between Roy and I was at hand at the time-

Futuba: YOU BETTED ON US!!?

Ludwig: .........Yes. Yes, we did. But in my defense, I was rooting for you two to get together. Roy l, on the other hand, thought you would chickened out at the last second.

Futuba: HE WHAT!? I'LL KILL HIM!

Sojiro: Futuba, would you please stop yelling already? I have café to run, remember?

Futuba: (Starts Noticing a Few Customers Staring at Her Before Laughing Awkwardly) Eheheh......S-Sorry about that....everyone.

Customers begins to chat among themselves once again.

Ludwig: ('Sigh') Okay, look, I apologize for betting om you two for something trivial. But if you do this for me, then I'll do whatever you want in return.

Futuba: (Raises an Eyebrow) Anything?

Ludwig: Anything you desire, yes. As long as it isn't illegal.

Futuba: Welllllllll......It's been a while since we've hung out before.

Ludwig: I was busy.

Futuba: ('Scoffs') Yeah right!

Ludwig: I was!

Futuba: With what? Hmmm?

Ludwig: With.....stuff.

Futuba: Was it research related?

Ludwig: No!.....Yes.

Futuba: Thought so. But since we brought it up....(Buts on a Cheeky Smile) I think it's high time we have ourselves a anime bench watching session tonight, double date edition!

Kumatora: (Smiles Brightly) Sweet! I'm down.

Ludwig: I suppose that wouldn't be too much of a-

Futuba: Also, I wanna play around with your hair.

Ludwig: (Eyes Widened) Wait, what!? Why!?

Futuba: Why not? Your hair is freaking majestic, dude! There's sooo many styles I can do with it alone!

Yusuke: I'm inclined to agree. It would be interesting to see what a new, imaginable hairstyle would look like on you.

Kumatora: Yeah, Luddy, give it chance. You'll might end up liking it probably.

Ludwig: (Eyes on Kuma) I see that you're putting good use in my nickname there.

Kumatora: What can i say? It represents you quite well, handsome~ (Winks at Ludwig)

Ludwig: (Immediately Starts to Blush) I-I'm....(Clears his Throat Before Shyly Looking Away) Glad you....like it so....

Futuba: D'awwww!~ Are you blushing right now?

Kumatora: So cute~

Ludwig: (Looks Back at Futuba With a Glare) No! I....(Sighs Heavily as He Pinches his Nose) Forget it. You can do my hair. Just....don't make it look any hideous and you.got yourself a deal.

Futuba: (Smiles Brightly) Sweet! (Turns to Yusuke and Places her Hands on Both of his Cheeks) Pucker up, Inari!

Yusuke: If you in-MPMMH!?

Before Yusuke could finish his sentence, he immediately gets pulled into his first, indirect kiss with his girlfriend, Futuba Sakura.

Ludwig: (Uses his Phone to Take a Picture) Stay like that for a few more seconds annnnnnd.....('Click') Got it. (Looks at the Picture Front of Him) Looks perfect already.

Ludwig shows the picture to Kumatora, who returns, happily gives him a thumbs up before sending it to his brother.

Futuba: (Immediately Pulls Herself Away From Yusuke Before Exhaling her Breath) Ooookay! That's enough for now.....

Yusuke: (Almost at a Lossof Words) That....was our kiss.....

Futuba: Yep. Our very first one apparently.....Whatcha think?

Yusuke: (Eyes Begins to Sparkle) Magnificent.

Meanwhile at the Smash Mansion's Living Room.......

Roy: (Laying on the Sofa While Talking to Someone on the Phone) Look, man, I'm just saying: I love my bro to pieces. But how in the hell could a shut in nerd like him managed to bagged in a tough ass princess like her is beyond me at this- (Suddenly Hears a Bing on his Phone) Wait, hang on a second bro. I got a text to read.

Roy puts his call on hold as checks out the message that was sent to him.....Which happens to be a picture of Futuba and Yusuke kissing and the second on being Ludwig giving him a wise cracking smirk while Kuma hugging him and holding up a peace sign.

Roy: (Couldn't Believe What's in Front of Him Right Now) ......And now I owe him fifty bucks. (Facepalms Himself) Greaaaaaat........

I don’t know if you have already seen it, but I thought this article from Letterboxd was an interesting take on the DWD situation.

Thanks for the link anon - I did read it and I agreed with the substance of the article. I thought the points she made about how importance that both pop culture media and producers of pop culture come to terms with morally motivated network harassment (which I think is a great way of describing it - although the article she linked to raised some questions for me). And how easy it was for a simple truth - that this happened because Olivia Wilde dated Harry - to be erased when it goes mainstream and therefore the whole situation to be misread.

But as I've been saying for a while - it's very difficult for people writing for mainstream publications to engage with the reality of 1D and its fandom, because it's very difficult to talk about 'Larry' as a phenomena in a way that is curious, truthful, and respectful of media limits on outing people. On the most basic level, unless you think there's no chance that people are right, I'm not sure there's an ethical way to bring Larry to an audience.

This author, like many other author's, came from a starting point (that was obviously developed in fandom) that Larries are invalid. That cuts off being curious about what Larries are doing and why they're doing it. So when a whole bunch of Larries act in a horrendous way, she doesn't need an explanation. Instead she can just say 'Larries are behavining this way because they believe the wrong things.'

And I'm not saying this in a 'not all Larries kind of way. I'm saying it because I think her approach ends up denying human agency and completely misrepresents and misunderstands queer history.

She said: "If you genuinely believe Harry Styles is gay and not allowed to come out, then every time you see a picture of him with a woman, you can assume it’s fake, that the woman concerned is being paid or getting something out of it for herself and thereby “profiting” off his closet. If it’s a stunt, there’s no obligation to like this woman—in fact the opposite."

This isn't true. It absolutely doesn't follow that because you think someone is closeted then it makes sense to hate the people you think are pretending to date them. Anyone who knows anything about queer culture knows that there's a long history of queer people speculating about which public figures are queer that doesn't involve pathologising the people they're pretending to date. 

Larries who have been part of the morally motivated network harassment have made an active choice to act in that way. It's not simply a result of thinking Louis and Harry are together - it's an ongoing, iterative, collective process, whereby people have over and over again that this is who they want to be and this is how they want to act.

I've obviously had some theories about why harassing women they date is so appealing to Larries, but I think I'm in it a little too deep to really be curious. But what I can see is when someone else is missing what's happening - and crucially missing the ongoing decisions people are making and intentionality to act in this way.

[twelvedaysinaugust]

I wanted to say something about the use of the word cult bc I find it very interesting. I think some of the behavior in this fandom by some people is very much like it is in a cult. I don’t wanna say that Larry is a cult through and through but there’s a pattern in some of their behavior that makes Larry a cult in that moment. If you start love bombing a new person that just turned into a larrie and you spam them with welcome messages and how lovely they are for joining the Larry fandom but then when that person starts questioning stuff and maybe doesn’t agree with everything you start to offend them or you tell them they never were a real larrie in the first place and blah blah. That’s cult behavior at its finest. And that’s what I have seen a lot on Twitter yesterday when a certain Larry account with a few thousand followers (on tik tok) made clear they just unlarried bc of certain events that took place. People should be able to join and to leave a fandom without receiving any hate. People should be able to vocalize their opinions without being anxious and nobody ever should be emotionally dependent on the insanity that is Larry (I’m saying this as a larrie myself btw).

That’s why I like your blog. Bc you consider many scenarios to be reality and you don’t refuse to think about other possibilities apart from “Larry are together since 2010”. I sometimes feel like some larries depend on the amount of people that are in this fandom and share their belief. And with every person that decides to leave, the fandom shrinks and to them it makes Larry less real. Bc if many many people believe in the same thing it makes it feel like more valid and more likely that it’s actually true (even though that’s not the case at all, even if the whole world would believe in Larry). But that’s the illusion and is causes so much toxicity and hate in this fandom. Not everything is black and white, it’s okay so have questions, it’s okay to only believe in like 5% of what larries believe in and it’s okay to leave and join whenever you want to. You can make it vocal if you want to. That’s fine. As long as it stays respectful. I don’t get why former larries feel the need to hate on larries after they turned into antis. That’s a little hypocritical but anyway that another subject.

Thanks, nonnie. I’m a little leery of the word cult just in general because I feel like people are very selective about why they apply it to. But that said, I just wish fandom was more… chill. Beyond wanting to see the other side, I don’t understand the obsession Antis have with Larries and vice versa. Honestly, I think it’s especially uncomfortable when people seem to unlarrie because they found out new information. The person who unlarried because of the mold was funny. Someone being visibly upset and hinting at some kind of private interaction is a lot more unnerving. But the way some people are acting on Twitter is completely uncalled for. I haven’t been keeping up with it very closely, but I feel sympathy for the person. I don’t really have anything to say about the situation apart from this.

Top 5 Jake in love with Amy moments and Top 5 Amy in love with Jake moments

BESTIE THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG POST

TOP 5 JAKE IN LOVE WITH AMY MOMENTS (not in order)

THE FUNERAL: this is sort of obvious, Jake was ready to give up his job just so he can be with Amy even though they had been in a relationship for 6 days??? he was definitely in love with her and just wanted to be with her

CHASING AMY: this entire episode he was such a supportive boyfriend,him setting up practice tests for her,remembering all the little things about her, the callback to the bet episode where we find out that Jake has been in love with her since the the bet ep, Jake saying that she can't be afraid of being successful because she's too good for that??? Amazing. Spectacular. So in love with his Ames.

THE FUGITIVE PART 1 : the line "your happiness is way more important to me than winning some stupid bet" just shows how much he cares/loves about her

Also the fact that he started reading Harry Potter only because Amy liked them so much is also just amazing.

TRYING: "Amy we are a family, you and me" NEED I SAY MORE HE IS SO IN LOVE

HALLOVEEN: this is also pretty obvious. The only thing that kept him sane through his prison experience was planning for the heist which we know is a proposal to Amy! The scene in locker room where Jake is handcuffed and Amy is going on about how she knows him so well that he has lost the ability to surprise her, then later on the in the episode he surprises her by proposing? Him admitting that she is the best detective? Even though we know from an episode in season 1 (Operation: Broken Feather) he has always considered Amy as the better detective!!! Kudos to the writers for giving us such a perfect episode.

+ special mentions

MAXIMUM SECURITY: I'm sorry his line, "I'm the one that's not tough enough to be in here watching the woman I love,unarmed,locked up with all these murderers, it's just too much for me" yeah. YEAH. Jake peralta did that. I loved the fact that Jake didn't make Amy take herself off the case but he took himself out of the situation as he was the one who was not able to handle seeing her in danger.

HE SAID,SHE SAID: this episode though. Jake learning that Amy's previous captain thought he deserved something after he helped her become a detective? His reactions in the scene were so good, I could feel the anger, pain, sadness radiating off of him through the screen. Him watching a netflix documentary on feminism? YES PLS.

ALSO THE FACT THAT HE JUST KNOWS WHATS THE RIGHT THING TO DO AFTER HE LOOKS AT HER FACE? EVERYTHING THAT SEEMED SO COMPLICATED BECOMES EASY?

TOP 5 AMY IN LOVE WITH JAKE MOMENTS:

GREG AND LARRY: Amy was spiraling the entire plane ride wondering if Jake is safe or not. Her worrying on what if she doesn't get to say I love you SO MUCH. she is very in love with him your honour.

THE CRUISE: Amy being the first one to say I love you? Amazing. Her helping Jake to try to catch Judy this entire episode, she could have just told Jake to ignore him but she knows how important this is to Jake so she helps him.

THE GOLDEN CHILD: the way she is so protective of him also the line "I spent my whole life trying to beat David at something,but when you were I'm danger, I just didn't care anymore. All I wanted was for you to be ok" she loves him so much :)

HONEYMOON: how she stood up against Holt when he called Jake selfish? Season 1 Amy could never. Jake being like I don't wanna get mad right now because he knows Amy is worried about Holt bUT then Amy is like screw that. So yeah a top tier moment.

THE BET: I know this was the episode where Jake fell in love with Amy but I think this episode also showed us just how much she knows,cares,respects Jake. Also the look she has on her face when she finds out Jake could have called for the night shift team to handle the stakeout and continue his plan of embarrassing her BUT HE DIDNT. So yes. She is very in love with him and she is also very in denial about it in this episode.

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT: the fact that she was willing to wait for like what 14 years??? The fact that she won't give up on him and would continue fighting against Lt. Hawkins. If that's not being in love with someone I don't know what is.

+ special mentions

SHE DOUBLE TUCKED FOR HIM

BOYLE-LINETTI WEDDING: she appreciated the fact that Jake was willing to help her out with her case even though he didn't need to. The look between Jake and Amy at the end of this episode was just a chef's kiss.

A MOMENT FOR BOTH JAKE AND AMY BEING IN LOVE WITH EACHOTHER:

THE LAST DAY PART 2: the fact that they are willing to do anything for each other. Them in the last two episodes hit different. You can see how much they have grown and made each other better over the years and yeah Jake willing to take a step back from work and being ready to take care of Mac so that Amy can achieve her dream? Amy saying that he doesn't have to do that cause she knows how much he loves his job,her always being surprised by how sure of everything he is? Little does she know it's because of her ;)

So yes, that concludes my rant about these two idiots being head over heels for each other.

[turntechgoddesshead]

heyoo can you make hcs about sick sal (& larry if you want to) where they are sick and their s/o does everything for them and how they feel about that (like they bring them the stuff from school but first of all they stay by their side and try everything to make them feel better make soup and give cuddles)

Okay, so I was on my break today when I saw this and when I tell you I couldn’t stop thinking about it all day. I was in the middle of decorating a cookie cake and I dissociated too hard and messed up my boarder. So I hope you like it. I Was planning on doing Larry but i’m actually so tired lololol i worked like 11 hours today and i’m ready for bed. I’llhave to make up for it by just writing him a whole fanfic,

Sally

·         This boy is so sweet okay, don’t even get me started.

·         He wouldn’t even tell you that he was sick, probably because he just doesn’t want you to worry about him.

·         This of course just causes you to worry even more, especially when he doesn’t show up to school.

·         So you and Larry go around to all of his classes and get his work for him. You probably would have considered it a fun time if you weren’t so worried sick about him :(

·         His dad is at work when you get there so you let yourself in and make your way to his room.

·         The poor boy is laying in his bed, facing the wall and his blue hair a mess against the pillow below him with Gizmo laying in the space where his legs bend at the knee.

·         You see that his Prosthetic is sitting on his side table, which means that he’s probably sleeping and wasn’t expecting company.

·         To be honest, I feel like it would take Sal a loooooong time to even consider showing someone his face, romantic relationship or not, since the prosthetic is basically an extension of himself, or at least this is how I think he would feel.

·         That being said, you would sit down on the bed facing away from him(Obviously you don’t care what Sal looks like, you just look away in respect and so he feels comfortable. He’ll show once he’s ready), gently placing a hand on his shoulder to bring him out of his deep sleep.

·         He would take a minute to wake up, but eventually he would realize the situation and scramble to put it on.

·         “Sal, are you alright? Everyone at school is worried.”

·         He would probably get sheepish and shrug, unable to find an excuse, but lets be real, you wouldn’t have any of it.

·         You would worriedly place your hand on the back of his neck, feeling that he was burning up and probably a little sticky from sweat.

·         He’d try to talk to you, but you would probably find out pretty quickly that his throat is all scratchy and it’s hard for him to talk.

·         So you simply shush him and put his hair up in a pony tail to get it off the back of his neck. (I personally always have a scrunchie around my wrist because of my ungodly amount of hair, but If you don’t, I feel like you would always carry them because someone will always need one ex. Larry, Ash and Sal)

·         You give him a sweet peck on the top of his head and whisper for him to lay back down.

·         He does as he’s told and lays back down and pulls Gizmo into his chest, while you get to work.

·         I get the feeling that his dad doesn’t cook all that much.

·         I don’t necessarily blame him. He’s a working single father, so there probably aren’t too many ingredients left about in the kitchen.

·         Lucky for you though, there is Just add water! Readymade soup.

·         Usually this stuff’s gross, so I imagine you would probably make it your own with a few different spices and anything you could scrounge up.

·         Once the soups done, you’d let it cool before plating it and bringing it to him.

·         When you take it to him, he’s already started on his school work, going through the notes and doing all of his homework with Gizmo in his lap.

·         Its so cute you could drop the bowl of soup.

·         DO NOT DROP THE SOUP

·         You make your way over, scooping the fat cat out of his lap and replace him with the soup.

·         “It’ll help your throat,” You smile at him as you scooch your way onto the bed beside him.

·         The soup is bomb, bc the love of his life made it duh.

·         He finishes the whole thing and sighs, as the warmth of the soup relieves his poor sore throat. :( Poor sal.

·         I don’t think Sal is really used to being ‘taken care of’ since his dad is away so often, so he would probably be a little sheepish about it. Not embarrassed so to say, just a little sheepish.

·         “Thanks,” He would manage out, his voice clearly trying to hide the fact that he was so flustered below his false face.

·         “Anything for you love.”

[skepticalarrie]

Hi Allie, first of all I totally love your blog, I can pass hours reading it when I'm bored just to inform myself about larry, and I really admire how larries of tumblr have such compromise to investigate everything correctly. And well let's go to my questions.

If you could interview harry and louis like in a respectful way (of course) what would you ask? And of course like when they out, and you are the one who interviews them like for a documentary or something

And also, what would you answer if they ask you why do you believe in Larry? In a sumarize way of your feelings towards that situation , like without proof just YOUR OPINION

Sorry if this was to long, I'm just curious of your opinion as a larrie with a lot of arguments. <3

Hi dear. That's a fun hahah

Someone asked me the first question just a few weeks ago so I'm just going to give the same answer. Maybe you're imagining a super deep and serious question but there's no way in hell I would be that person, so I would ask them which of them fuckers was the first one to go ahead and decide the rainbow bears was a good idea lol and why. Because honestly, that's the kind of shit I want the tea ajhsjahjashah Listen, we're obviously wrong about a whole bunch of things since we're just *guessing* but at the end of the day when it comes down to the technicalities, it doesn't really matter how it went, or what it means or whatever. We essentially know what happened and I don't think they need to explain anything. And I certainly don't need any kind of confirmation. So I would just ask them stuff we will never know the answer unless someone asks, and I would go the funny route for sure, because I know this is what they would like to talk about too.

As for my answer though. I don't think I would even answer anything I would just stare into their souls until they're sure I'm not fucking around with this larry thing. I mean, I have fucking eyes and a brain and I'm gay as fuck and I see them, so that's more than enough.

[alltheselights]

It is still baffling to me how different Louis acts as a Dad in comparison to the rest of the 1D that are dads.

Like, for example, this whole situation with Zayn and Gigi not wanting to show Khais face at all, and Louis "not giving a fuck" about Briannas family showing Freddie off on every social media platform possible since 2015 not caring how famous Louis was then and how famous he continues to be now.

I've been a fan since 2014 and a Larrie since then and I can see a resemblance of Louis on Freddie but at this point idgaf what matters to me is how Louis has been portrayed as a not caring parent and the difference in how he is supposedly raising Freddie in comparison to Liam and Zayn with their respective kids.

Oh absolutely, Louis’ behavior as a supposed parent is world’s away from Liam and Zayn’s, not only in his lack of care for the child’s privacy (care which both Liam and Zayn demonstrate consistently), but also in the fact that he never, even after five years, has had any personal or unique stories about his child (and while Zayn hasn’t done interviews since his child was born, Liam has probably told a hundred very specific stories about his child at this point).

I think it gets even more insane and unbelievable when you think about who Louis is and how he is with children. I’m not saying that Zayn and Liam have ever been bad with kids, not at all, but when you think about how Louis coos at every baby and child he sees, treats them like the most precious people on earth, was an incredibly sweet and loving big brother to all of his siblings when they were children, has referred to himself as being “clucky” around children, and shows so much affection for every kid he meets....he is the absolutely last man on earth that you would expect to be indifferent to his own child, regardless of the circumstances of their birth and whether it was an accident or not. And though we’ve seen him carrying the child in pap photoshoots and doing small things like that, he has spent the vast majority of his time since the kid’s birth in another country and most of their actual interactions when Louis is in town have been photographed for the media. He is clearly indifferent to the supposed custody arrangement where he never gets the child and the child never comes to the country where he lives or sees his family. He is clearly indifferent to the fact that those with the most access to the child use that access to photograph him, post his face all over Instagram constantly, and use him for attention whenever they want. They do not protect him or his privacy and haven’t since the day he was supposedly born, yet Louis says and does nothing about it beyond his one bizarre statement all those years ago that came out after they’d called the paps like 50 times to take pictures of the kid.

So it’s not just that Louis’ behavior is weird in comparison to Liam and Zayn as parents, but that’s it’s weird compared to LOUIS and his own behavior around every other child that he’s ever met and interacted with.

Meeting and Dating Kahmunrah

(My gif)(Requested by @arianatheangelworld​ )

(I changed the movie plot a bit to fit the meeting portion of this but I doubt that that will upset you. And the meeting story is a bit long but that’s because there’s dialogue in it, sorry!)

- You were working at the Museum of natural history as an archivist when your old friend Larry came along and convinced you to accompany him to Washington.

- Though it took a bit of convincing, you ended up agreeing and soon found yourself standing next to the old night guard as Kahmunrah and his guards awakened.

- Contrary to your companion, you at least pretended to be intrigued by the Ancient Egyptians awakening …which drew his attention to you. He continued to glance over at you as he spoke, up until Larry stole his attention away with his defiant behavior and Rubik’s cube scheme.

- Speaking of the Rubik’s cube, it didn’t necessarily go as …perfectly as Larry had initially hoped. When the octopus went about snatching up and swiping people away, you were left in its grasp as Larry managed to escape with the tablet.

- So, you were taken prisoner by the bloodthirsty Egyptian …though he wasn’t exactly ...good at it.

- Initially, he tries to act like the typical seductive yet evil villain but his voice, paired with him messing up his words and the stumble that occurred as he tried to attractively lean on something near you, made his attempts quite unsuccessful.

- As you defy him more and more, he pulls the whole “you are so lucky that I don’t kill you” act; though he isn’t particularly convincing. You know very well that he was once a ruthless killer, and that he could still very well be one, but it’s obvious that he can’t bring himself to even hurt you, let alone kill you.

- To test your theory, you attempt to provoke him, and what does he do? Gives you more threats, more warnings, more scoffs. It’s honestly somewhat ...cute; watching him act all tough. Endearing in a way.

- That being said: you aren’t completely cruel, so you give it up and let him believe he’s won. Once you stop that, it only takes a few minutes for you to grow bored; you are just sitting there tied up, so you let out a quiet huff and turn to him.

“You know …I know a lot about your brother; it’s kind of my job, but I don’t think he has nearly as interesting of a story as you must have. I mean, sure he was pharaoh for a few years but it was so short lived. And getting everything he wanted …what's so interesting about that?” You apologized to Ahkmenrah in your head as you spoke.

“I mean there’s no trials or tribulations, no drama, no nothing. Just perfection in the most shallow degree.... I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’d like to hear more about you.” You prompted and he eyed you somewhat suspiciously.

“You would?” He asked a bit guarded and you nodded. “About what exactly?”

“Ohh about anything,” you replied. “You must have been quite the fighter. You look like you were.”

- There it is. He sent you a pleased, prideful smile as he launched into tales of his combat achievements. After he was finished with that, he moved from subject to subject eagerly. It was then that it dawned on you that you were probably the first person to genuinely show interest in him and you found yourself feeling somewhat sympathetic.

“It’s a shame we’re in this situation. I would have liked to get to know you more.” You’d said somewhat offhandedly as he finished telling one of his stories.

- He froze for a moment, his mouth opening and closing a few times before he managed an attempt at speaking. “Well I …I mean. Well who says we couldn’t? I’ll be ruler of the world after all.” He went off on a bit of a tangent related to said idea before he looked over at you. "Wouldn’t you say?”

- Before you could respond, in came Jedidiah and soon enough Larry arrived too, instigating the whole hour glass situation and leaving you at a bit of a crossroads as to how you truly felt about the bloodthirsty Kahmunrah.

“The world isn’t as great as you think it is,” you blurted out as you waited for Larry to find the code to the tablet. “Really, I mean sure it can be pretty and power is alluring but …it’s also polluted and it’s violent and there’s the whole heat death of the universe or the nuclear warfare thing.”

“It’s not like the world you lived in. I mean it’s home for me but, with all due respect, I don’t think you really know what you’re asking for. Plus, you’re gonna be frozen again in a few hours and then you’ll be transported to my museum in a few weeks.” Shit. Shit. You probably weren’t supposed to mention that or at least shouldn’t have. Larry didn’t even know, hardly anyone really knew about the renovations.

“What did you say?”

“What?”

“What did you say just then.”

“About the heat death of the universe?! Yeah there’s this whole, we’re-” He interrupted you.

“No, not that! You said I was being transported to your museum!” He exclaimed and you sighed.

- With no other choice, you began to explain everything that you knew. He went silent for a moment, sitting in his “throne” and thinking about what you’d said.

“Would you like me to be there... at your museum?” He asked finally, attempting to appear nonchalant.

“...yes. I think I’d like that very much.” You answered and he tried his best to hide his pleasure in your reply.

- Before you knew it, he’d called his men to retrieve Larry, and soon enough, he was explaining to the man that it had “come to his attention” that they’d be seeing a lot more of each other in the near future and that he had “changed his mind about things”. Larry eyed him; and you, suspiciously before accepting his words, standing there awkwardly as the Egyptian smiled and clasped his hands pleasantly.

- So yeah, soon enough Kahmunrah was at your museum and since he’d; you know, tried to take over the world and apparently may or may not have killed his younger brother, he wasn’t too popular. And though you’d initially played up your intrigue for the man, you couldn’t deny that you did; in fact, like him and found him particularly attractive.

- Due to your interest in and acceptance of him, he spent most of his waking hours with you.

- It isn’t long before the two of you get together, he’s quite fond of you and is used to taking; or at least getting, what he wants at the exact moment he wants it. So, he tries his hand at a bit of flirting before finally making his first move.

- You’re in your office with him when it happens. He looks over at you and just blurts out that he’d like for you to be his queen, effectively stopping your hand as you were writing.

- Obviously, you were a bit taken aback so you looked up at him with wide eyes, watching as he tried his best to hide his nervousness; though the glancing away from you and clearing of his throat gave it away.

- You replied that you’d “like that”, causing him to look over at you with a smile. Before you knew it, he’d leaned forward, taking your face in his hands and pressing a soft, chaste kiss on your lips.

“Wonderful!”

- And thus, you officially made the bloodthirsty Pharaoh fall in love with you.

- I’m convinced that Kahmunrah desperately wanted  to find a wife in his day, thinking that it would give him everything that his parents never did: love, affection, favoritism, etc. So, now that he has you, he yearns for your touch and attention more than anything else in the world. 

- He’s constantly trying to hold and keep his hands on you. He lives to be affectionate with you and show everyone that you’re his. 

- He likes to keep his hand on the small of your back, holding you at his side and leading you as you walk. 

- Hugs from behind and/or his hands on your upper arms, pulling you back to press against his chest.  

- Whenever you’re with him, he wants to have your full attention and dedicates himself to obtaining it when he doesn't. He likes when you come to see him on your own accord, rather than him calling for or visiting you himself. 

- Top of the head and temple kisses.

- Somewhat rough, passionate kisses. He tries to convey all the emotion that he has inside of him into said kiss and you can most certainly feel it whenever he does. 

- Domineering kisses. He likes holding the back of your head or pulling you into his body abruptly, his lips searing against your own. 

- Soft pecks and kisses when he’s in a softer, happier mood, or when he’s dejected and you’re trying to cheer him up. 

- Lot’s of pet names; they show everyone in your general vicinity just how much he cares for you. He’ll call you things like “my queen”, “my jewel”, darling, honey, etc. Larry wasn’t sure how to respond when he first heard one. 

- He likes when you cuddle into him, usually wrapping your arms around his middle and nuzzling into his chest while he wraps his arms around you. That being said: he secretly likes being the one to cuddle into you. 

- Bridal carrying. 

- Sitting on his lap or standing by his side, holding his hand as he gazes up at you lovingly while the two of you speak. 

- He’s definitely attempted to seduce you in that smoldering “striking a pose in front of a roaring fire” type of way but all it managed to do was make you laugh before you tried to assure him that “No, no, you are sexy. It’s just cliché. Please Kah, I’m sorry, really”. 

- He enjoys telling you stories though you try to steer away from his family life and focus on superstition or his more happier memories; knowing that you’ll just send him into a mood if his brother comes up in conversation. 

- Him trying to impress you, whether it be with tales of his achievements or his efforts to “be good”. He lives off of your praise and craves it like nothing else; particularly because he didn’t receive much of it in his life. 

- Not many people give him the time of day or attempt to be nice and; at least, pretend to be somewhat amused/amazed by him; Larry in particular, so he appreciates that you do; even if he knows you’re at least somewhat faking it. 

- Speaking of him trying to impress you: there was this one time; possibly before you even started dating, that he just so happened to notice you looking at his arms and a lightbulb went off in his head as he realize that oh, that’s something that I can get her with.  

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Like what?”

“ You’re staring at my arms. Why,” he gasps and grins. “You like them!”

“ What are you talking about?” You reply a bit nervously.

“Youuu’re attracted to them!” He accuses confidently and you scoff; though a moment later you’re glancing back as he crosses them in front of his chest. “You are! Look, you’re looking again!” 

- He wants to spoil you so badly. He may just find a way to do so....

- Occasionally, he tries to be harsh with you but he just can’t follow through. You’re like the only person who’s nice to him so he wants to see you happy; even if he’s sort of mean at first. He always ends up doing what you asked in the end, usually pretending like he doesn’t know what you’re talking about while enjoying the kiss on the forehead that you give him for it. 

- He thinks you’re adorable and he expresses it quite a lot. He may or may not baby you every now and again for this exact reason. 

- Watching him fondly as he fiddles with things and acts like a goof. 

- If you haven’t noticed it yet, he’s quite dorky and cute when it really comes down to it. It’s fun to sit and watch him gush about something or just be himself. 

- Sneaking him out of the museum for a little while. He convinced you to go to the opera with him at least once. 

- He thinks your apartment is adorable; a bit unintentionally condescending in retrospect but he did live in palace, and he likes to snoop around your stuff.  

- He likes your gifts to him. In comparison to his upbringing, they’re quite quaint but the intention behind them makes him far happier to receive said gifts rather than a box of diamonds. 

- Always having his guards at hand no matter where the two of you go. 

- Letting him rant about his brother. You think Ahkmenrah is a darling but you hold your tongue and seek to understand where he’s coming from. 

- Trying to bridge the gap between the two siblings. According to an earlier version of the script, Kahmunrah was the one who killed his brother, though regardless of this, there is going to be some tension between them that must be resolved. 

- Telling him about the new world, he’s both greatly knowledgeable yet clueless at the same time. 

- Letting him talk to you about all that he’d hoped to achieve: the power he’d wanted, the throne, the statues, …you after the minute he saw you. 

- Getting a rather exaggerated introduction to people. He makes you sound far more important than you really are. 

- Getting looked at for backup in situations like the “tunic incident”. 

- Calming him down when someone or something angers him.

- He wants what he wants at the exact moment he wants it so he’s arguably a bit impatient; even with you at times. 

- Letting him “whine” to you and comforting him when things don’t go as planned.

- Assuring him that he is, in fact, big and scary and powerful. 

- He’s a little miffed that he can’t speak to your parents when they call. He wants to introduce himself, make a good first impression and make it known that you’d found yourself a wonderful and impressive future husband! They can get used to the fact that he’s a dead Pharaoh, can’t they?

- He’s an incredibly jealous individual though I’m sure you were able to gather that for yourself. He isn’t even subtle about it, immediately calling you away from the person or scaring them off himself. He’ll at least attempt to deny that it was because he was jealous but you’re both fully aware that that isn’t true.

- You’re his “precious jewel” and he’s going to do all that he can to ensure your safety. He’ll threaten death on all who upset you and kill all who hurt you. He isn’t risking losing you, he just isn’t.

- The two of you bicker more than you genuinely fight, sending each other little glares before one of you finally concedes. Other times, he’ll raise his voice and make threats though he isn’t frightening and fails miserably at being harsh with you. 

- He thinks you’re cute when you’re angry most of the time, which probably causes you to give him the silent treatment. He’ll apologize quickly if you’re really upset with him or fondly yet reluctantly on occasion; if you look particularly adorable with your brows all furrowed. 

- He tells you that he loves you quite often; especially if you’re alone. Its very important to him that you know he does, considering how often he felt unloved as a child. 

- Quite obviously, your future is a bit difficult to anticipate but he isn’t going to let you go without a fight.
