#i say this as an ex theatre kid

[bright-and-burning]

eve vacation update: impressed my ex’s extended family (i’m talking cousin’s husband’s sister and her husband levels of extension included here) so much by carrying my team of half his family to absolute crushing the other half (including him) in a more complicated version of charades that they were all like. wow eve how are you so good. you carried the team. we were not beating you. lol

Thinking about how often the first version of a media some experiences often becomes “their” version of the work. Regardless of better versions, it’s hard to eliminate that first version as “yours”.

For example the modern movie version of Les Mis is ‘my’ version. That’ll be the one I go too. The version of Company I think of is with Raul Esparza. I’m told their are better versions or more interesting takes but I don’t think of those.

For some people they’ll only know Sweeny Todd or Cats through the musical movies.

I dunno. Heard a good cover of One Day More and it got me in a thinking mood.

[iiannabxth]

class of 09 girls + their aesthetics bc i’m tired of people not getting them.

(minor tw for sh & ed):

jecka: she’s literally a preppy, trendy 2000s teen. she wears lacoste/abercrombie polo shirts, hollister skinny jeans, american eagle, bebe jackets, and juicy couture. a lot of her clothes come from her mom’s job, as apparently her mom gets them for free.

she is a “pharma-princess” and openly idolizes paris hilton. she smokes cigarettes and casually abuses painkillers. she may be a little trashy, but she dresses like any other fashionable girl from that era.

nicole: for starters, shes lower middle class. her mom buys the cheapest internet and cable packages, as well as having nicole on the assisted lunch plan. with that being said, she’s not buying a ton of miss me jeans, bb belts, or affliction shirts. shes a hot topic/spencers fiend bc she can steal it. her outfits are usually a hoodie, tank top, or t-shirt with ripped skinny jeans- which is to say they aren’t very complicated. i think people get confused and try and dress her in the modern “y2k” fashion, but it doesn’t really work for her.

shes severely depressed and winning the idagf war, which is shown in her makeup and nails. i think her makeup routine is very messy and smudged, but thats lowkey the look.

emily: shes rich, but she doesn’t care or acknowledge it. she can buy whatever she wants, but chooses to go for the grungey/emo look. even though she’s the most “scene” character, she still follows a few trends- ex: the lifeguard hoodie. her hair is definitely damaged by the box bleach she uses and the excessive use of her straightener. i also think she 100% has raccoon eyes (in the avril lavigne-way.)

she parties with her sketchy boyfriends, day drinks, and does almost any drug she can get her hands on. she’s suicidal and highkey crazy, which results in her tattoos and scars. (the excessive SH-culture is completely on brand for the 2000s.)

ari: borderline manic pixie dream girl going through a sexuality crisis. she’s almost emo, but not quite. she wears winged eyeliner and red lipgloss. her wardrobe consists of mostly graphic tee shirts and skinny + bootcut jeans. she dyes her hair because “no one understands her,” but she still has a decent relationship with her parents.

she used to be a girl scout, so she definitely cuts her own hair and thinks it’s rebellious. i think her favorite shoe would be black high top converse.

kelly: is the definition of a trendy, trashy, 2000s girl. kelly is also rich (as stated by jecka.) she’s popular with the boys because she’s pretty, has big boobs, and dtf. she wears a lot of hollister, wet seal, juicy couture, and victoria secret. i think she would wear a full face of makeup to school. her hair is dyed blonde but she keeps the roots grown out just a little.

megan: 2000s THEATRE KID!! she’s ARTSY, not EMO. she’s apparently pretty, but not pretty enough to be constantly hit on. she wears a lot of media/pop culture clothing and jeans. her hair color is her natural hair color and her nail polish is always chipped.

jecka & hunter say she’s a christian girlie, so most of her outfits are more modest and toned down compared to some of the other girls. she probably wears minimal makeup unless she’s doing a show.

karen: she’s dorky and nerdy to the extreme. she looks very mousy and homely. she likes twilight and harry potter + she works at a library (and is strict about the rules.) karen likes and is good at school. she probably only wears mascara and medicated chapstick, as well as her glasses. she has a messy bob that she never styles.

she’s also insecure about her body, as jecka and nicole make her relapse on her ED, so she wears baggier clothing than any of the other characters.

i think she would wear sketchers and jeggings.

anywho, i like this game and im also super into the genuine 2000s fashion, so a part of me dies whenever i see someone say “nicole listens to ayesha erotica!!” or “jecka wears affliction and bb belts!” girl bffr.

Think Later

~think later by Tate McRae~

Author's Note: Requested! I love this song so mf much Summary: Jack and Luke's sister is in town to visit when she finds a different Devil's player more interesting Warnings: implied smut, a very brief mention of toxic relationships Word Count: 1,585 Nico Hischer vs. Hughes fm!reader

Jack pulled his gear from his shoulders, letting out a huff of air. The team had beaten the Bruins in a 4-2 win. Where he scored two goals. He was excited to get out of the locker room because his older sister was in town. Her flight landed an hour before the game started, she barely had to time to go to Jack’s apartment and drop her bag off. 

“You guys going to Jerry’s?” Nico asked. It was bar and restaurant that the team liked to go to after they won games. Or even after horrible losses. Jack shot a look towards Luke across the room. Luke took a deep breath.

“Our sister is in town, she might want to just go home,” Jack offered. Nico perked upward, a smirk toyed to his lips. 

It was safe to say, he has crushed on Y/N since the first time he met her. It was during Jack’s rookie season, she stayed with Jack for a few weeks. Jack was struggling emotionally for a lot of his rookie year, and having his older sister in town was simply enough to help him get through it. 

“Don’t even think about it,” Jack pointed towards Nico. The locker room was pretty empty at this point, most of the guys had showered and left already. Luke furrowed his eyebrows harshly as he whipped his head around. 

“I wasn’t-” Nico started but Luke interrupted.

“She just got out of a relationship,” Luke let out as he walked towards Nico. 

“I said I wasn’t thinking about it,” Nico defended as he ran his fingers through his hair, “I’m gonna hit the showers,” Nico continued as he had a small smirk on his lips. 

It took another twenty minutes before both Jack and Luke left the locker room to see their older sister Y/N waiting for them. Luke smiled widely as he quickly made his way towards her. She gladly opened her arms for her youngest brother. 

She was technically the oldest. She was older than Quinn by twelve minutes. A fact she constantly reminded Quinn of. She was the only Hughes kid that lacked any interest in hockey, other than her brothers playing. She was a theatre kid, which was a complete one-eighty to what her parents childhoods were like. Her brothers were always more than supported. 

She felt teary-eyed as she engulfed her younger brother in a tight hug. This was the first time she saw Luke play in person in the Devils jersey. Her ex-boyfriend was a really difficult guy and wouldn’t let her travel on her own. He never wanted to spend the money to travel, so she never went to see the games. She was tightly wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. 

“Good job, Lukey Boy,” she let out as she pulled away meeting his eye. He smiled softly as he blinked away his own tears in his eye. She moved away from Luke towards Jack. “What a game, J,” she mumbled as she hugged him tightly. 

“Thanks, how are you feeling? Up for Jerry’s?” he said as he pulled away, his eyes slightly teary. She nodded dramatically. 

“Oh god, my rich brothers buying me drinks all night? How could I say no?” she asked as she stared walking towards the parking garage, blindly hoping they’d show her where Luke’s car was.

~~ 

They stepped into Jerry’s to see the entire bar was the team and their partners. The three of them walked towards the bar. Nico was sitting alone, nursing a beer as he kept his gaze on the TV screen replaying their game. It was in the middle of the first period. Jack patted on his shoulder, pulling his attention towards him. 

“Nico, you remember our sister, Y/N!” he let out loudly, over the noise of the bar. Nico met Jack’s eye for a second before he turned his gaze towards Y/N. Her eyes widened slightly as she met his gaze. The smirk on her lips quickly went away as fast as it appeared. Jack gave him a visual warning, a small head shake. “I’m gonna get us drinks, Lukey what do you want?” Jack shifted his attention towards Luke. 

“Nico, it’s nice to meet you again,” she offered as she stood beside him, close enough their arms could touch at any moment. He turned his gaze towards her, his heart beating hard against his chest.

“You too, Y/N,” he licked his lip as he shifted his gaze towards Jack and Luke behind her. 

“What do you want?” Jack asked smacking his hand against her back. She jolted suddenly, looking towards the bartender.

“Tequila soda extra lime, please,” she expressed. The bartender nodded as he began to work.

“Are you sure? Tequila may not-”

“Jack,” she scolded. He nodded reluctantly as he leaned against the bartop. Over his entire life, he knew to never argue with his older sister. She was feisty and could easily ruin him. She turned her gaze back towards Nico.

He never once looked away from her features. He couldn’t focus, he couldn’t breath as she was so stunning. She knew it too. The second she met Nico’s gaze, she pursed her lips forward. She tried to not smile. 

“Bold choice,” Nico muttered as he lowered his gaze towards her lips. They were glossed with a red color. She shrugged slightly. 

“Boring choice,” she pointed towards the beer in his hand. Nico dropped his head, a chuckle leaving his lips. “Trying to act all tough in front of your teammates?”

“I don’t need to try, I am,” he never wavered eye contact as he brought his beer towards his lips. He took a small sip. 

The bartender slid the tequila soda towards her. She smiled politely towards the bartender as she brought the glass towards her lips. Taking a sip, it tasted perfect.

“At least my drink has flavor,” she mumbled as she took another sip. Jack and Luke got their beers and were long gone, didn’t want to stay to witness Nico hit on their sister. Or even worse, their sister play along.

“It has flavor,” he defended, taking a sip of the beer. Cringing at the taste, her eyes widened as she chuckled. He smiled, “Didn’t say good flavor,”  

She leaned towards him, sliding her glass over, “Go ahead, try it,” she expressed. He clenched his jaw as he reluctantly placed his beer down. He hesitantly took a hold of the short glass. “Come on it’s so good,” she offered as she delicately rested her hand onto his forearm. He smirked towards her as he took a small sip. He quickly pulled his face away, his face scrunch together.

“Oh that’s awful,” he barely got out. 

“Oh come on!” she groaned out as she pulled the glass towards her, “You’re joking,” she let out. He shook his head, quickly pulling beer towards his lips.

“No, that was horrible,”

It had been an hour since she showed up to the bar, and it was pretty obvious that her and Nico were into one another. Jack would show up between them every so often, trying to shut down whatever was happening but it wasn’t working. 

“You know, I’m not supposed to be talking to you,” Nico let out as he tilted his head to the side. He scraped at the label of his beer bottle. She squinted her eyes slightly.

“Why’s that?” she pulled her lip gloss from her front pocket and slowly started applying it to her lips. 

“Jack doesn’t want me involved with you,” he let out. She rolled her eyes dramatically. 

“He can’t control who I talk to, or who I get involved with,” she explained confidently. She shoved her lip gloss back into her pocket as she hopped off the stool. She seductively ran her hand across his arm, slowly gripping his bicep. 

“I live across the street,” he mumbled as he lowered his gaze towards her lips. She nodded as she slowly ran her hand down his arm again, interlocking her fingers with his. 

“I just got out of a bad relationship,” she explained, meeting his gaze, “Bad in more ways than one,” she let out. Hoping he caught on. He nodded as he cleared his throat. 

“Come on,” he mumbled as he stood up from his stool, guiding her towards the bar exit. Y/N’s met Luke’s gaze from across the bar.

He tried to hold in his laughter as he watched Nico drag Y/N out of the bar. Luke smacked his hand against Jack’s arm. Jack and Dawson both shifted their gaze towards Luke. “Caps hooking up with our sister,” he let out, subtly pointing towards Y/N stepping out of the bar. He started laughing. Dawson tried to keep his laughter inside as he saw Jack’s angry expression.

“That motherfuc-”

Nico continued guiding Y/N across the street towards his apartment complex. They stepped into the lobby, he nodded towards the receptionist as he walked towards the elevator. He pressed the up button multiple times. 

“Think once is enough,” she whispered. He rolled his eyes playfully as the doors opened. He took a hold of her waist, pulling her inside. 

“Once is never enough,” he muttered as he pressed the button to his floor. He quickly guided her towards the back of the elevator, devouring her lips in the process.

“Oh my god,” she mumbled against his lips as she ran her fingers through the ends of his hair.

i honestly agree with the idea that pete wasn’t really friends with ruth or richie, and it’s not because of his reactions to their deaths or anything.

i say this because he is the most reactive to ruth’s death compared to grace & steph. also far more reactive to richie’s death compared to grace & stephanie too, but ruth on the other hand is like? majorly more anxious compared to rest of them hearing that richie was murdered, which will play into my take later but anyways.

i believe that pete isn’t really close with the two because of his reactions to the shit they do and say. like every possible moment, he is fidgeting nervously around them, spacing off, correcting them, or ridiculing them. and when he’s not doing that, he’s… trying to be nice, but good god does he seem so damn anxious about it. not to mention when he calls ruth and richie, “fucking nerds” they don’t laugh it off like… friends would? they roll their eyes and become offended. also! also also!!! gosh i love pointing out details, but pete seeming semi-confused at richie’s statements about the body-pillows. if they’ve been friends for years, pete would be used to it by now, completely ignoring it.

also, the lin manuel miranda thing, why is pete going up to richie and saying that? wouldn’t he have gotten a better reaction of ruth, the theatre kid? or is he getting ruth and richie’s interests confused?

they aren’t friends to pete, they’re just people pete decides to hang around with because he has no choice. why doesn’t have a choice? because of the system the school runs on. max, every other popular & cool kid at school, and then, the nerds.

that’s who he’s limited to.

it’s the way they talk and interact with one another that makes me think pete is just not as close to richie and ruth as we think he is.

but you know what, ruth and richie? oh, they’re incredibly close and you can tell. the jabs at one another with no reaction (ex. “who are you trying to impress…? ruth?” and ruth continuing on the joke). the overdramatic faces made toward one another?? also, the fact they tend to stand closer to one another than to pete? there are multiple scenes like that… almost every interaction these two have, you can tell they’re best friends. going back to my point with ruth’s reaction to richie’s death above, she is visibly more anxious hearing that richie is dead compared to every single one of the people being questioned. it’s heartbreaking actually, because this is a person she’s known for, likely, years and it’s just!

it’s so obvious how close they are.

they can joke around with each other because they know they’re joking when they insult one another.

there’s probably reason why pete gets somewhat defensive of richie’s comments about his outfit, or how the idea of him & steph together is ridiculous.

pete cannot tell they’re joking because they’re not as close.

but i do want to throw in. i think ruth and richie consider pete far more of a friend than he does them. they actively seek pete out, they feel like they can make jabs at him because they think they’re close enough pete can take it as joke. they worry about him, and pete just doesn’t think about them the same way (and he doesn’t realize they consider him a friend).

which is… kind of sad to think about!

anyways, that’s my ramble for today

forgive me for any misspellings and grammar mistakes

it’s like 1am rn

Ring/Homewrecker Anon here again to clarify…

I don’t think any sexual cheating happened in S2. I think that L&N had an instant chemistry and rapport with each other from the first moment they met and got close and physically comfortable (touchy feely) with each other right away. As a former theatre kid, I can say that’s somewhat normal behavior for actors. But they also always had the knowledge from day one that they were each other’s on screen love interests and would likely play the romantic leads together one day. And then when they got the confirmation before season 2 that their season was next, I think they started collaborating a lot and getting even closer. Talking about Colin and Pen, sending each other kisses and love scenes (and Polin fanfic??!!) for inspo… and I think this process added to their in-person emotional intimacy and added a bit of sexy anticipation to the whole thing kind of like sexting would in a normal relationship. I can see how L might have been pretty wrapped up in it and J could be concerned or feeling insecure at that time. And I think for L&N it created a very deep friendship and artistic partnership with sexual elements to it and a lot of emotional intimacy.

The way that N talks about the first kiss scene in season 3 makes it sound to me like it was their first time kissing. But then I think the dam broke on camera, with the dream scene and then the carriage scene, the mirror scene, the modiste scene (after the sex-ban episode, so they were building up the tension there) and by the final scene, holy shit that was raw. They were playing characters, but they were also embodying them and I think it was hard to deny how strong and explosive that chemistry was on top of the deep emotional intimacy they had already built with each other. It must have been kind of confusing and L mentions that the lines were blurred in an interview. Also in the podcast interview, when the interviewer asks how he played the wedding scene when he and Pen were at odds, he answered that he “let him [Colin] get caught up in the romance of it.” And I think that’s kind of what he did all season, let himself get caught up in the romance of it.

The exact timing of L’s breakup is unclear, but if it was always a situation of “we’re kind of into each other but we can’t go there because you have a girlfriend,” and then suddenly he doesn’t and the gloves are off and he’s emotionally reeling and she’s there… you can understand why the bts looks the way it does, especially the wedding scene. They were 100% in it with each other, whatever “it” was. They were fully each other’s person and romantic partner on set. We don’t know what else happened between them during that time.

Taking some time after that was probably a good idea, because now they have to take that whole situation and run it through a lens of reality and I think that’s what’s still happening now. They have to come to terms with who they are in the real world and if they are compatible in they way.

Clearly, based on them appearing to date other people, they haven’t (yet) decided they want to pursue anything in the real world outside of friendship, or if they have they haven’t made it public. But I think they do acknowledge how deep and meaningful and special it is and want to protect it and each other. (I will maintain that ring represents L and her experience in s3, whatever else it might mean for them remains to be seen.)

As soon as you start putting romantic labels on a relationship, you start dealing with expectations of how that other person is going to behave and those expectations can be broken and hurt the other person. That is why it is so risky to go there and why exes who loved each other so much can never be friends again. And I think that’s why they are either choosing not to, or taking their time to make sure it’s right.

You can see the fandom placing those expectations on them on the other’s behalf, and then getting upset when they don’t meet them. But we don’t know what they have discussed in terms of romantic commitment, exclusivity, expectations, etc. so we can’t assume that they are upset with each other about their involvement with others. In fact they keep going out of their way to assure us that they are not.

One more thing, I think there was some hurt or resentment after they took a break post TSOT and prior to press. Those first two interviews with Claudia and LT, N is all over LT and L seems kind of withdrawn/jealous/passive agressive like he doesn’t know where they stand or he’s hurt or resentful about whatever went down. Then it seems like the third interview is the Teen Vogue one where they are reading the tweets and they get caught back up in the chemistry and things seem to thaw. And I think over the course of the WT they made up and reaffirmed how much they mean to each other. Whether or not they decided to take that relationship and try to make it a traditional romantic relationship in the real world, or just protect it for what it is, I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see.

Thank you for your thoughts & analysis! I also don't believe there was any cheating, but I do believe L's connection with N contributed to his break-up with J.

Imo, L & N are alot farther along in coming together than one may think 😊

on the steps in front of the bakery, there’s a shared silence between you – he finishes the pastry you gave him. you enjoy his company.

it smells like dew and fresh bread.

“how much do you owe?”

“out of everything you could ask me, that’s what you choose?”

he licks jam off his thumb, and catches you getting distracted. “what else would I ask? for your number?” coy.

you look away. “I guess not.”

“why’d you leave without saying? I would’ve made you breakfast.”

“I wouldn’t have let you. plus I needed to get outside. my… ex, texted me. jeez. sorry. tmi.” you’re grimacing.

if he’s bothered, he doesn’t show it. “boyfriend?”

“of 3 years, yeah. douchebag ended it over text, told me not to spread the news because it would make him seem like a jerk.”

eye contact. whether or not it’s pity, you take the opportunity to admire. his eyelashes are long; if you squint enough you notice the speckles of green in his irises.

“ass”

“..what?” you snap out of it.

“he seems like an ass.”

you bite back a smile. “i… that’s one way to put it.”

“there’s no way I’m not paying you for that pastry, if you must know. if you keep giving freebies out, how are you gonna pay the debt you won’t disclose to me?” half-joking, you assume. why does he care so much about the money you lose?

“it’s a lot of money.” you think about telling him.

“didn’t ask that.”

“3 million yen.”

“…oh.”

“suna—“

“call me rin.”

“okay. rin,” you suck in a breath. “I’m perfectly fine with how I manage my finances now, thank you very much, and I sort of owe you.. for.. the other night.” you close your eyes, kicking yourself in your head. why’d you say it like that? made it sound like you did something else..

you’re about to apologize, but he laughs, “I was just trying to have a conversation with you, not become your accountant—“ you open your eyes.

he wanted to say

“you have the sun inside of you and it’s not just smiles. you have an internal being that shines so bright it’s taken my heart in one single night—a childlike spark I hope you’ll never lose. you’re a walking love letter that I will never open out of the fear that I’m falling for you harder than I’ve ever wanted to fall for anyone else. I hope you open that letter. learn to love yourself and heal from the things you don’t speak about. I hope you find someone who brings out the softness in you, not the survival. you deserve that and more.”

instead he said “—and no problem. you’re worth the trouble.”

but that was enough for you. enough for you to feel the same way about him. about each other, yet say nothing about it.

“I need your number if you wanna text. we’re heading back to tokyo today.” rin adds.

“okay. tell the miyas I’ll miss them.”

mentally, he replaces their names with his.

“I will.”

Scott pilgrim is a modern retelling of Dante’s Inferno, and I want to talk about it

Hi . Brought this up very briefly a while ago but i rewatched spto with friends last night and got my gears turning. I don’t usually make posts like this but It’s been on my mind and I want to share. Here we goooo. Under read more becwuse I wish not to disturb my beloved friends with a long post

First off, let’s start with theeeee obvious.

Say hello to our Dante and Beatrice.

I don’t think I need to go into this first one much, but Scott and Dante are of course the heroes(term used lightly. Scott is not a good person and honestly neither was fuckinh Dante of all people) of their respective tales, going through hell and back to win over this ethereal, “too good to be true” heavenly dream girl. Scott even dies to get her in the end, like Dante venturing down into the depths of hell, dying and then ascending to get to Beatrice. If I wanted to really stretch it I could say the dreamscape is a sort of purgatory but I don’t think there’s enough evidence for that one.

Next,

Our Virgil. What’s up, Wallace.

In the comics Wallace acts as a sort of guide to Scott. We end up seeing him less as the comic progresses, which I find lines up with Virgil having to part ways with Dante before he enters heaven. Not much to say otherwise admittedly. Love you though buddy

Now for the symbolism of hell. Since there are nine circles of hell, it obviously can’t match up one to one with the exes unless we add some of scott’s relationships to the mix, which both doesn’t make sense, causes this analysis to get stupider than it already is, and leaves some characters left over that already don’t fit in to these parallels.

Luckily, however, there are The Seven Deadly Sins. Going to be going in sin order rather than ex order here

Firstly,

MATTHEW PATEL - PRIDE

- the first boyfriend and the first sin very conveniently line up, which threw me off track because I thought the exes would go in the order of the sins. Enyways

- in the movies, comics, and shows, he is insanely flashy with how he presents himself. It’s the entrance, the dances, the expressive clothing (“that guy’s dressed as a pirate” “pirates are in this year!”, modifying Gideon’s suit to fit his color palette, the outfit he wore while kicking gideon’s ass). The theatre kid in him essentially

- taking the lead in the musical Knives and Stephen presented him with— they knew how to cater to him, because he views himself as the coolest bitch on the planet. Which honestly he kind of is but don’t tell him this

- so headstrong in his pride that he fucks up. Repeatedly. First to get killed, too cocky, spends all of gideons money “I’ve lost billions!”

- believes he’s entitled to Ramona as soon as he wins the fight against Scott

GIDEON- GREED

- I don’t feel like I have to explain this one but I will because I enjoy him greatly

- CEO, billionaire. Money money money mr rich

- literally “owns” or tries to excersize ownership Ramona in the comics and movie as if she belongs to him— with the glow, or with the chip implanted into her neck with his logo on it.

- has all of his past girlfriends cryogenically frozen. All for him none for anyone else. They should only love meeeeee.

- wants everything for himself in excess. Women, fame, money. Almost considered pride for him also but greed is more fitting

KEN AND KYLE- ENVY AND LUST

- holy shit this image has five pixels so sorry about that I’m on my phone and Google images sucks

- anyways of course they’re sharing sins

- not much to say here as they don’t show up much, and it’s easy to make the argument of envy or lust for ANY of the seven exes. These two were the hardest to figure out. Not as sure on Envy, but can definetly advocate for lust— playing around with women, thinking they were playing around with Ramona.

TODD- GLUTTONY

- this one was the easiest one for me. Like come on

- breaks vegan edge in the comics, movie, (vegan police), and show (Wallace breakup event 2 dead 5 injured)

- his whole persona revolves around food. Of course gluttony doesn’t always mean food but here it most definetly equates. Even when he’s vegan he always makes it a talking point of how superior he is to others because of this fact, only for it to blow up in his face when his enjoyment of non vegan food catches up to him.

ROXY- WRATH

- a very angry girl to be sure. Takes her emotions out using violence, attacking Ramona the first time she sees her, even though she is going out of the order of the league and supposed to be attacking Scott (although I guess that point is moot because they all think he’s dead at that point)

- “I’m bi-furious” line from the movie deserves a shout out here I think

- (completely justified) Unending rage against Ramona in the show, and scott in the comics and movies. She is PISSED.

Lastly,

LUCAS LEE- SLOTH

- also one of the easiest ones. Could have made an argument for pride (tries to prove he can land a sick ollie so hard that he dies) or greed (movie star who lives in huge mansion), but sloth ultimately fit the bill the best.

- even before we get into his reoccurring theme of “whatever” in the show, it’s pretty evident in the comics and movie that he doesn’t care enough to extend effort. He tells Scott he’ll leave him alone and say his ass got kicked if Scott gave him a twenty dollar bill, sends his stunt doubles to fight Scott in his stead.

- onto the show, he lets his stardom slip out of his fingers with his attitude, not even caring to read or memorize the script anymore (“is that why half the lines in your last film were ‘Let’s Party’?” “I uhh, read the title.” Etc). Just spends all his time messing around and skateboarding. The title of his episode is literally “Whatever”. He doesn’t give enough of a shit to care. Which. Respect I guess

Extra; the exes ARE referred to as “the seven deadly chumps” in the show.

In conclusion;

[suffarustuffaru]

terrible ideas for rezero matching icons (arc 8 and ex spoilers)

spica going :D while julius and otto plot to kill her. this can even work extremely well without spica. here is some concept art. im gonna make this one real bc me and a pal wanna do it

^^ add in rem and subaru matching icons if you want (they’re screaming in horror)

felix / fourier / crusch but fourier is Deceased and felix and crusch are bawling

felix and julius………………………….. from That Scene in pride if

rowan, cecilus, and the heavenly sword.

cat garfiel and cat heinkel from garfiel’s theatre dream

rabbit. and subaru.

normal julius icon paired with a gluttonyed joshua.

pandora. and theresia. and a white bird

a set of astrea icons but louanna is eepy and theresia is just a jar of ash

greed if ottosuba icons but it’s a transparent otto going “gay gay homosexual gay” and subaru going “FUUUCK I CAN STILL HEAR HIS VOICE”. add in a matching echidna icon too

greed if subaru / a half-dead echidna. if you know you know

gluttonybaru / random ass book of the dead. like the matching icon to subaru is just a whole ass book

todd and subaru but like this:

^^ alternatively the same as the above but with louis and subaru

main route otto / a literal wall / greed if subaru

cute 🫶 matching icons but one is subaru and the other is satella’s shadow hands

emisuba icons but its them dead and holding hands from arc 1

anastasia, ram, subaru, and patrasche………………. from the miasma tunnel scene

meili / pushing amnesiabaru down those stairs

subaru + getting stabbed/jumped by rachins, camberley, and gaston (the three guys from arc 1) + a hot woman watching them bc camberley has the dp of bedroom wiles—

cecilus / halibel / subaru (wrath if edition)

subaru, rem, their children, and appa man raising an eyebrow and asking him whether he is fine (sloth if subaru returning back to the arc 3 save point after dying of old age)

rem and “who?”

the barbie and ken meme with otto and subaru bc theyre definitely the kind of people to get arrested together. they literally have in a lost in memories if route

pridebaru doing half a hand heart / reinhard too busy crying to do the other half / emilia killing pride

little kid otto, otto’s cat crush, and the cat’s crush

joshua. and an apple. if you know you know

louis / rem strangling subaru LMFAOO

subaru flinging paperwork off frame / otto drowning in paperwork

the three idiots crossdressing! :) this is the most normal idea on this list.

EDIT BC I FORGOT TO ADD THIS ONE: regulus and reinhard in arc 5 being launched to the moon :)

some of these are ideas from my pals (you know who you are). also if you have more awful ideas or wanna see some of these become real feel free to say so 🙏🙏🙏

saw speak no evil last night, which i really enjoyed! it proved to be my very favorite kind of stressful movie, i.e. a slowburn thriller where people go to a beautiful and remote location and then Things Go So Wrong! it reminded me a lot of other faves ex machina, men, 10 cloverfield lane, the menu, ready or not, the recent blink twice, etc.

just some thoughts about this movie (spoilers!)--

+ i really enjoyed all the gender role stuff going on in this one a whole bunch. this is, of course, a classic gothic romp in my eyes. therefore, watching the dad -- down on his luck, feeling emasculated by his female family and by life not favoring him as much as it was supposed to! -- get seduced by the alpha male andrew tate-y bs embodied by james mcavoy's character, like the dad was but a shrinking naive gothic heroine missing or even lusting after all the red flags, was SUCH a fun subversion to me. yes! yes!!!

+ every time that mackenzie davis's character tried to establish boundaries and they got run over and then she let it slide to be palatable, i viscerally FELT THAT. there was, of course, a big element of 'privileged people wanting to appear woke so they keep being boundlessly pityingly nice to the poor people', but even deeper than that, i think this was a great portrayal of how women in particular are expected to constantly accommodate and ignore their intuition. the bit with making her eat the goose. D: and it got worse!

+ i also really liked how in the big showdown, the mom and the kids were the ones who actually took out the enemies, and the dad was the only one without a 'kill' to his name. (though he did sacrifice himself by jumping off the roof, mirroring Accomplice Wife's self-sacrificial death!)

+ gosh, the dark implications re: Accomplice Wife's character were so harrowing - the victim becoming the abuser - and the fact that the little girl was being primed to follow in her footsteps ..... D:

+ i enjoyed that the kids were the ones who had the sort of Big Finding Bluebeard's Closet Of Dead Wives Reveal. (my bf pointed out that this is a bluebeard story, and it so is! my favorite!) that sort of ASOUE-y feeling of kids having to make it on their own because adults aren't a guaranteed source of safety. MAN, poor ant. :'( that kid had a HORRIBLE time. i really admire his persistence in keeping on fighting and trying to communicate.

+ i saw someone in the reddit discussion thread say that couple vs. couple is an underrated trope, and i agree! would love to see more of that in cinema.

+ love how the title operates both on the level of "this kid can speak no evil about what we do because we cut his tongue out" AND "don't ever say anything mean to people or you might hurt their feelings and what could possibly be worse than that (oh, this, i guess) 😬"

+ can't believe they did nick miller's favorite song cotton eyed joe so dirty like that. :( that scene honestly brought tears to my eyes from pure misery. the fact that some parents really do treat their kids like that ...................... (even if that wound up not being totally the situation in this particular movie). disgusting and heartbreaking.

+ the most a+ "eternal flame" use since gilmore girls.

+ after i watched the movie i read up on what the original film was like, and may i just say: that would have broken me psychologically in the movie theatre. thank god i didn't have to see that. THANK GOD! sometimes american optimism really works for me, honestly. if it's a gothic, then in the gothic, they've always got to make it out at the end!!! bruised and bloodied and haunted but still standing! so i'm really glad they did!

+ it honestly never occurred to me that people would thirst over james mcavoy in this movie, because he's so gross and horrible, but it takes all sorts to make a world, it turns out. the internet teaches me that every day!

+ anyway, i had a great time watching this! would definitely watch again! but gosh, was it a special kind of fun and stressful to watch it unfold the first time.

I love the drama club au for hazbin hotel actually-

Do you think Lute would ever feel guilty that Vaggie essentially took the blow for her, since hitting a kid would ended with a massive....problem to say the least, and if lute had swirved instead she'd have lost her eye instead if vaggie

Or dies she 'hate' vaggie because she lost her eye and cost the team a good player, like, to mask the guilt

Also how would lute lose her arm, does she try to mess around with the drama club stuff and end up having something collapse her arm, did she lose it in the car crash- or she just broke it, not even fully losing it

.....you can tell I've taken an interest- also....are Vaggie and Lute exes, because that'd be interesting to explore

I'm not sure if Lute would lose her arm in this AU. I guess if I have to make everything that happened in canon have an equivalent in this AU, Adam and Lute would try to sabotage their play by burning down the theatre/stadium/whatever the school's equivalent is. Then Lute's arm would be lost when some heavy enough debris crushes it...

... but that seems a lil too crazy and heavy for an AU that's meant to be just a lil silly and slightly angsty but ultimately fun. You can think it would happen if you want. Somebody else could write it in the third act of a fic in the possibility of somebody else wanting to write it. But personally I'm not gonna state it as a firmly canon thing within this universe.

Vaggie and Lute aren't exes, but Lute definitely has a thing for Vaggie. She tried to hit on her, but Vaggie was definitely not interested and Lute took offense of the rejection. Ever since then she's been giving Vaggie a hard time even though she was still attracted to her. When Vaggie had to quit, Lute didn't like it, and she hated it even more that Vaggie joined the Drama club because Charlie was obviously also carrying a torch for her.

Mean Girls but CCCC (TW! Cussing >:3 )

This is basically me being half theatre kid, half CJ hyperfixated after I read CCCC the Musical by @finleyforevermore (extra cool tumblr post yippee!!!). Whoopsies :3 Also btw the rhythm is VERY funky

Meet the Plastics but Jash-ified -

(spoken) Whoa! Who are those three?

Don't look at them, just DON'T!

(sung) They call those three the Jashlings.

They've split one into three.

The lust, the greed and intra-psychosocial envy.

They might pull out their pistols

Or threaten regicide.

They've been split from Concord,

Like Jekyll parted Hyde.

(spoken) And their loop is ENDLESS.

Soul is the balance, the grey in between.

He's always pissy, always angry at the other two.

He says if they don't stop fighting

They'll DIE.

(sung) My name's Atlas, I'm the Soul.

And I have an awesome CHICKEN!!

You seem to forget you answer to me.

Heart and Mind...

Just stop dickin'.

I've got loads to deal with.

I'll take you down in tandem.

Those two FUCKS just won't stop arguing...

I'm gonna kill them!

I'm really suffering

Mentally.

And Darrell likes eating...

*KFC!

My name's Atlas, I'm the Soul.

And I have a massive load

If we don't become Whole

I swear I'll EX-PLOOOOODE!!

(spoken) That over there is Apollo

He's the Ruler of Everything.

That's why his hair is so fluffy.

It's full of EGO!

(sung) Listen up you, I'm Apollo!

Every waking hour I spend making sure we stay a-

Live, not dying, complying.

I use my logic to

Help us all to thrive.

'Cause Soul wants us combined,

Whether that be dead or alive.

My logic is the absolute, emotion's useless.

Why can't that dumbass see that?

He is stupid, and he's clueless!

(spoken) I'm clueless?

(sung) Atlas is the host, but I'm the one holding together

I'm the only ment'lly stable one,

Even under all that pressure!

(spoken) That is Heart, the emotional dimwit.

I once saw him try to microwave mayonnaise!

(sung) *My name is Juno.

I am an optimist!

I like oreos and cats!

My eyes do not exist.

They were stabbed out.

And I am super pissed!

MY NAME IS JUNO, I'M THE LOVE THE HAAATE!

(spoken) And the emotional side :3

Footnotes:

*Darrell likes eating KFC is a reference to my friend cosplaying Darrell in human form dryly remarking that she wants KFC.

**Previous version: My name is Juno. My hair is shiny. My wings are badass. My cock is tiny!

Ex (Alexia Putellas x Reader)

Request can be found here! 3.3k words

Sofia Martinez.

Even just her name sent shivers down your spine.  When you made it official with Alexia just over 6 months ago you had no idea of the role a seeming stranger would have in your relationship.

You wouldn’t describe yourself as a football fan, you went to support Alexia and therefore knew all her teammates but you didn’t know players from opposing teams or past players never mind the friendship groups of the players. You were just a primary school teacher who happened to bump into Alexia on a night out.

About a month into your relationship you were introduced to Sofia. A friend of Patri’s who dated Alexia for just over a year, breaking up around 14 months ago. You knew Alexia had a past but you didn’t think it would still be here in the present. You didn’t like to speak ill of people but everywhere you turned she seemed to be there and if she wasn’t there then she was mentioned. She attended the games, went on nights out, she even got a mention at the latest Putellas family event where you were introduced to her family.

This all wasn’t helped by the fact that her and Alexia ended on good terms. Still good friends with each other and their friends and family, which that just meant they didn’t see the problems this was causing.

The first time you realised she was still in love with Alexia was when you arrived at Alexia’s party to celebrate her Ballon d’Or, a mere three months into your relationship. Of course Sofia was there, sitting with all her family but that wasn’t enough. Every time you left Alexia to go to the bar or speak to her other friends you would look back to find Sofia in your place. Her hand placed on Alexia’s arm, laughing at all her jokes, leaning in close to whisper in her ear. But most of all just the seductive look on her face the whole time: you were in no doubt she was still in love with Alexia.

At first you accepted that she was still in love with her: Alexia was an amazing person and you knew their break up however mutual it was could have an effect on her. The problems came when she started to overtake your relationship.

A few weeks later you had organised a date night for the two of you, a trip to the theatre to see Alexia’s favourite musical.

Arriving hand in hand you thought you were going to have a great evening, just the two of you sharing a glass of wine before the show started.

“How was work today?” Alexia asked, holding your hand across the table.

“I heard one of the kids talking about you today, saying how you was her favourite player.”

“What did you say?”

“I just agreed with her of course. I can’t lie. How did your session go?”

“They’re pleased with my progress, I should be able to go back on the grass in the new year.”

“That’s great love, I’m really proud of you.”

You were just standing up, ready to move into the theatre when you noticed her. Your instant thought was that this was just a pure coincidence. She was just going to the same show as you. But then she thrust herself into Alexia’s arms.

“I’m sorry I’m late, the traffic was awful.”

“Don’t worry.” Alexia reassured her. “You’re right on time. Oh Y/N, I hope you don’t mind but I invited Sofia. This is her favourite show as well.”

Of course you minded. Of course your ideal date didn’t include sitting with her ex. “I couldn’t make it to any other night so I thought I would tag along.” There was that sickly sweet voice she used around Alexia yet the smirk as she looked at you said otherwise. “I promise you won’t even notice I’m here.”

It was hard not to notice her though as she constantly talked throughout, whispering in Alexia’s ear every two minutes. Buying a drink for her during the interval but completely forgetting about you.

Alexia apologised for that, assuring you that she was just in a rush and forget but you knew otherwise.

This was just the start.

…..

That wasn’t just a one-time occurrence. Every other date was interrupted by her presence, whether that was on her own or as part of a larger group.

In late December it was the Barcelona Christmas party, a meal in a restaurant for the players and their partners before friends would join them at the a club, including Sofia.

Even before that though her name came up.

Patri started the conversation, as Alexia and yourself minded your own business, engrossed in a conversation over your Christmas plans. Alexia on one side and Ingrid on the other, you’d quickly become friends with the Norwegian, the both of you quite quiet initially but warming up to one another.

“Ale, are you looking forward to tonight?” Patri asked her, your conversation coming to a halt.

“Si, are you?”

“Si, I heard Sofia was coming. I haven’t seen her in ages.”

“I haven’t seen her in a few weeks.” Two.

“Sofia is such a laugh.” Claudia added. “I remember last time we went out and she…”

You couldn’t stand to listen to how amazing Alexia’s ex was. Several of her teammates adding their own stories about how funny and amazing she was. Even though they only dated for a year it felt like they were childhood sweethearts who couldn’t possibly fathom being apart.

“Exes.” Ingrid whispered in your ear. “Fancy coming to the bathroom, freshen up.”

“Anything to get away from this.”

The both of you gave your girlfriends a little nod before heading to the bathroom. Quickly going to the toilet before lingering at the sink.

“I have my fair share of Mapi’s exes to contend with.” Ingrid started. “I know how you’re probably feeling right now.”

“How?”

“Like you can’t even begin to compete with that. Like you’ll never be enough for her.” She was right, you couldn’t deny her that, it felt like you would never be enough for Ale when she was still here as a reminder of what they had.

“It’s just annoying that everywhere I turn she seems to be there. She’s obviously still in love with Ale”

“But then you just need to remember Ale chose you. She’s in love with you and she’s not the type of person to get with you when she’s still holding feelings for Sofia.”

“She fucking turned up at our date Ingrid, I don’t know how much longer I can just keep up this façade that it doesn’t matter. It’s so annoying.”

“You need to tell Ale that.”

“I shouldn’t need to, it’s like she doesn’t want to spend any alone time with me.”

“I’m not making excuses for her, I’m really not, but maybe she doesn’t realise the significance of dates for you. She might just be content with the evenings you spend alone together, that might be the special time for her. If that’s different for you then you should say something.”

….

Your birthday fell on the week of the Supercopa final, choosing to go out for a meal the week before with all your friends and family plus Ale and the teammates you were close with.

You were having a great time. You didn’t usually like the attention but it warmed your heart to know all these people had made an effort to come there for you.

Knowing that she would also be gone next week, you were so glad to have Ale here for your first birthday celebrations together.

As the night went on and you went to the bar with your best friend, when you heard her curse under her breath.

“What’s wrong?”

“Look behind you.” Was the only reply you got, quickly turning around to find Sofia walking in and instantly taking your seat next to Ale. This was the first time you’ve felt anger at the situation, Sofia wasn’t your friend. She was barely even an acquittance to you. Now she was at your party, sat in your seat, hugging your girlfriend.

“What the hell? In what world did she think it was alright to come today.” Your best friend was one of the only people you’d explained your frustrations to each and every time Sofia made her presence known. She knew how much you disliked the other girl and how inappropriate it was for her to turn up tonight.

“Y/N you’ve got to stop this, you need to tell Ale to tell her.”

“But I don’t want to come between their friendship.”

“You’re letting their friendship get in between your relationship. If you really like Ale, and I know you do, then don’t let her ruin this for you. You can’t tell me you don’t see the way she smirks when she sees you, the way she knows your annoyed. I know this is meant to be a happy evening tonight but do it by next week.”

Moving back to your table, you wanted to curse inside when Sofia chose the empty seat opposite Alexia.

You didn’t want to purposefully cause a fight tonight, simply smiling at both the women as you placed Ale’s drink in front of her.

“Thanks love.” Not even a kiss on the cheek, or a look in your direction as she simply carried on the conversation with her friends. “Y/N, Sofia was just mentioning that she’s just got a promotion, even higher up in the finance world right now.”

“Some of us have to make a difference in this world, choosing the jobs with power and having ambition. I know head up offices in Madrid as well as Paris” I didn’t ask for a speech from Sofia but she gave it anyway. “Others in this world are happy just sitting in their little corner of the world. Naïve to the big world which is out there.”

A good proportion of your insecurities focused around your job and the insignificance of it compared to Ale’s, so it felt really good inside when everyone made a real effort to mention it.

“You work so hard Sofia. You deserve tonight being a celebration.” You like Patri but that felt like a punch in the face from her. You hadn’t got all dressed up to come and celebrate the promotion of a woman you had no intention of celebrating.”

“I’ve got us some champagne to celrebrate.”

You all got passed a glass, your fingers wrapped so tightly on the flute of the glass that you’re surprised it didn’t smash. The smile on your face slightly wavering, but not noticeable in a single glance as you tried to not to cry. Once again you’d never be anything compared to Sofia. Maybe it was best to just leave them to it, I’m sure Ale would fall back in love with her, if she wasn’t already. Maybe you just weren’t meant to be.

“Cheers to Sofia.” Claudia led the cheers. “Let’s celebrate you tonight.”

….

As you moved to the bar area you could feel your impatience growing with Alexia. Since Sofia had arrived she barely spent any time with you, saying probably two sentences to you the whole evening. You’re favourite song came on, a request from your best friend, and the only person you wanted to dance with was Alexia. You weren’t the clingy type but you’d danced with every one of your friends and now you wanted to share this moment with her.

Looking for her across the room you found her with her teammates plus Sofia around one of the bar tables.

“Ale come and dance with me?” You asked the footballer, wrapping your arms around her shoulders from behind.

“This song is so bad though.” What surprised you even more than the comment from Sofia was the fact that Ale simply joined in laughing. She knew this was your favourite song, you’d danced to this countless times in your kitchen. She’d even got you a signed record from the singer for Christmas but her mouth stayed shut.

“It’s a bit crowded right now love, maybe a bit later.” You tried to not let it show on your face how hurt you were by this comment but you couldn’t give up that easily.

“Come and do a shot with me then.” You whispered in her ear. “Maybe a few more drinks and we can head home for our own celebration.”

“I’ve got a drink here.” The rejection stung, like a physical pain in your heart as you realised she had every excuse in the book covered. No matter if there was a drink in front of her or not she would usually jump at the chance of another one.

What point was there even being here if she didn’t even want to spend time with you. Your own girlfriend couldn’t remove herself from the people she will spend the next week with to dance with you.

Disappearing into the night you couldn’t help but think about how different tonight could have been.

How you wouldn’t have got in that taxi crying. How you wouldn’t be led at home crying into your pillow at home. How you wouldn’t have realized how your relationship was dying right in front of your eyes and you’d let it happen.

….

“Hey you haven’t seen Y/N have you?”

It was two hours later when Alexia started to panic. She’d checked the bar area, the toilets, even the patio at the back but she couldn’t find you anywhere. Her last option was your best friend. The two had formed a good friendship at the start but over the past few months she’d noticed some hostility beginning to form between the pair of them.

“She’s had enough.” It wasn’t her battle to fight but she could barely hold in her anger at the footballer.

“What do you mean?”

“She’s gone home.”

Her immediate reaction was to check her phone to see if there was any messages from you but the screen was blank. She tried ringing your phone to check you’d made it home safely but each time it just went to voicemail.

Your friend could see the panic in Alexia’s face beginning to grow and as much as she hated the other woman right now she couldn’t help but feel for her in that moment. “I’ve checked in with her, she’s probably asleep right now.”

“Thank you.” A weight almost went from her chest as she realised you were safe.

“Ale a bit of advice, Y/N loves you more than you know, sometimes she just needs some reassurance.”

“What do you mean?”

“I can’t say anything more.”

Retuning back to her teammates nothing felt right anymore. She couldn’t help but feel different knowing you were no longer here and no longer celebrating, not even noticing Sofia had also gone. Quickly taking out her phone she sent you a quick message.

Y/B/F/N told me you made it home safely. I hope you had the best night, you deserve this and more. I’ll speak to you in the morning. I love you x

…..

The next morning the team were getting picked up in the early hours of the morning.

Most of the team were still nursing their heads from last night but Alw was simply staring at her phone. She’d sent you another text this morning to wake you up but she had yet to receive a reply from you. Whilst one part of her brain said rationally you could still be asleep and therefore had not seen the texts but she knew you liked to wake up early in the morning.

She knew something was wrong and yet she couldn’t do anything about it. She was travelling across the country in less than two hours, she couldn’t leave to check up on you now.

“Earth to Ale.” Alexia was brought back to life by Mapi as they sat in the airport together having breakfast. “Did you find Y/N last night?”

“Apparently she went home, I’ve messaged her but her friend said she got home safely. She’s probably still asleep now.”

“I saw her leave when I went outside.” Ana commented. “She looked quite, I don’t know, down. I went to go and speak to her but she got in a taxi and I didn’t see you after to tell you.”

“Maybe she’s had an early morning.” Jana tried to add. “You know Y/N she doesn’t really do late nights.” What Jana was saying was true but Ale didn’t want to say that you’d been looking forward to last night for weeks and then you were leaving early. It just didn’t make sense.

“Y/N is actually such a laugh though.” You had bumped into Keira in the toilets last night and she was very Impressed with your party tricks you had drunkenly shown off as you waited. “I know this sound a bit weird but I didn’t realise she was your girlfriend until like last week.”

“She always comes out with us.” Aitana argued. “Plus she’s always with Alexia.”

“Yeah but, and I don’t want this to sound weird, so is Sofia.”

“I can kind of see where Kiera is coming from.” Lucy backed her up. “I think it was the first time I met Sofia, I had this chat with her and she did kind of make it sound like you were still together.”

“Last night she was kind of all over you.” Ingrid added ignoring the looks from her girlfriend, she was your friend and now was the time to say this. “Do you find it weird being with your ex and your new girlfriend?”

“I guess I just only see Sofia as a friend, nothing more so to me they’re completely different.”

“But does she always turn up at things? Like was she even invited last night?”

That was the moment for Alexia, going back through the memories you had shared together over the past six months and in around half of them Sofia was there. The most weird ones, which she had overlooked at the time, were when Alexia knew she hadn’t invited or even told Sofia about her plans.

“I know you love Y/N.” Ingrid said. “I also know that she loves you but I’ve spoken to her before and you know it as well, it’s not normal to start a relationship and have their ex basically stalking them on dates.”

“Last night, I made a mistake.” It was all coming back to her now. The job celebrations as it was meant to be your night, spending basically no time with you even though she kept her eyes on you the whole night, seemingly having a good time with your friends. But most importantly you asking her to dance to your favourite song, she knew how upset you would probably be after that plus then rejecting even a drink from her.. “I thought she was having a good time…”

“But she just wanted to be with you.” Ingrid finished it for her. “She just wants you.”

“I just want her.”

….

Of course no matter how upset you were with Alexia you couldn’t stop yourself from watching the final. Some of the team members were now your friends and watching them with Alexia lift the trophy was everything you could ask for and more.

As Alexia celebrated with the team, her biggest smile came when she looked down at her phone to see your name on the latest text.

Congratulations Ale, you’ll be there on the pitch with them next time x

You were everything Ale wanted and more and she wasn’t going to let you go without a fight.

I do have things to say about the NextStop theatre production!! Sorry about the incoming infodump

1. The choir were constantly having little interactions in the background that made them really seem like friends

2. During Karnak’s introduction to each character before their song, the kids had like an npc/character selection movement, ex: Jane ripping her dolls head off, Mischa just straight up chugging a beer

3. Speaking of Jane’s doll, it had a head but was only attached to one side and would flop around a bunch when she moved, it was unsettling

4. Mischa wore goldfish socks

5. Like many other productions, the choir looked like they were being controlled by Karnak during the songs, except for jane, who wanted to be included and would sneak up behind people and terrify them

6. Constance, Jane, and Noel were the sexy cat women, which I don’t think I’ve seen before

7. After tnbs and the Savannah scene, Ricky and Jane shared the cupcake and it was really cute

8. The choir were so supportive of each other and especially to Constance in sugar cloud

9. When ocean picked Jane to be revived and her identity was revealed, confetti and pictures of penny’s life fluttered down from the ceiling, and the choir showed them to her while beginning its not a game/its just a ride. Then, right before Karnak died, they gave her the pictures and proudly sent her through the portal

This production was so cool!!! Wish I could see it again!

these are all so sick!!! i absolutely love the pictures coming down idea i think that's such a good concept. wish i could've seen it!!
