Hamlet:

Unraveling (The Crane Wives, Coyote Stories) Associated with: Hamlet, Horatio, and Ophelia Comments: “yeah i'm gonna submit a whole bunch of crane wives songs, what about it? i made this form, i get to do what i want. but yeah this song feels like it's about these guys' disastrous relationships.”

Pretty Little Things (The Crane Wives, Foxlore) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: "i don't believe the pretty little things that you say; i've heard a lot of little pretty things. don't buy me flowers, it pains me to watch pretty little things wilt away" is this not opheliacore?? tell me this isn't opheliacore”

Your Body is a Weapon (The Wombats, Glitterbug) Associated with: Osric and Laertes Comments: “LOOK OSRIC DIDN'T DO SHIT BUT LIKE??? he is. so gay for laertes ok. because i say so <3 i will be back just you wait”

Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles, Greatest Hits) Associated with: Ophelia, Laertes, Hamlet, Doctor of Divinity?? Comments: “"Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave. No one was saved." Is this not Ophelia's Funeral?”

Boy With a Coin (Iron & Wine, The Shepard’s Dog) Associated with: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (but specifically RAGAD) Comments: “The whole song has a running coin motif“

I’ll Follow You Into the Dark (Death Cab for Cutie) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “listen to the song. you'll get it. basically it's "if you die i'm following you"; “The song talks about death and following one's love into the dark, a.k.a. death. It talks of love so dedicated it continues after death and expresses, I think, Horatio's desire to follow Hamlet into death or anywhere at all, just wherever he goes. But it's even more tragic because he's denied the ability to follow his love into that one place, that one place where he can't go.”

Get Used To It (Ricky Montgomery, Montgomery Ricky) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “it's all about what he used to be and how he feels like he can't get back to the place where he was before which was better and it's just ough hamlet sadboy for realsies”

Time Machine (Miracle Musical, Hawaii: Part II) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “it's all about time and its passage and "WHY CANT IT STOP"core which has always been what resonated most about Hamlet to me”

Fighter (Jack Stauber's Micropop, Cheeseburger Family / Fighter) Associated with: Horatio Comments: “it's all about how he tries and tries and TRIES in this relationship and he's really trying to help this relationship which he knows will never work which is... just... sobs and dies“

Flowers in My Hair (Wes Reeves) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “it feels like something she might sing, maybe like earlier on in the play before she went mad outright. idk”

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Fucking Dead (The Rentiers, Get More Loot and Move to a Boot!) Associated with: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Comments: “I. Look at the song title. Just look at it for a second.”

Dust and Ashes (Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “Vibes I guess”

Isle Unto Thyself (Miracle Musical, Hawaii: Part II) Associated with: Horatio and Hamlet Comments: “Horatio POV. It's so... first love but also like with someone much more important than you and it's asking so many questions that I feel like whoever's on the receiving end (Hamlet) has no answers and it's so horatio”

Je te laisserai des mots (Patrick Watson) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “song for like earlier in the play when she likes hamlet and is like slighly infatuated with him, it also just sounds like a song for her. <3“

Secrets and Lies (Ruelle) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “once again most of these are vibes. but i really like it for an "ophelia can see the doom of them all and eventually goes mad" approach :3″

Youth (Daughter, If You Leave) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “same as secrets and lies, if im being honest. i really like that interpritation“

Constellations (The Oh Hellos, Notos EP) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “ophelia right at the begining of her madness :3″; “It feels like an Ophelia madness song.”

Soldier, Poet, King (The Oh Hellos, Dear Wormwood) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio; Laertes, Hamlet, and Fortinbras Comments: “despite this being on my ophelia playlist it is oviusly a hamlet/horatio song . i mean look at it” “Laertes plays the role of the solider, Hamlet plays the role of the poet and Fortinbras of the King.”

Saturn (Sleeping At Last, Atlas: I) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “ummmm. horatio song for as hamlet dies or something, yeah. why was this on my ophelia playlist.”; “Um it feels like a song horatio would sing sing to hamlet at the end. Hamlet would be dying and horatio would like be holding him and cradling his body and he would stroke hamlets cheek softly. Horatio would sing this, voice breaking around his crying, and he's just begging hamlet not to die, but its all in vain. Hamlet dies. Horatio lives. The play happens again. They are trapped.”

City of Angels (Arrows to Athens, Exile) Associated with: Hamlet, Ophelia Comments: “ummmm because . just go listen to the song ok. look at it.”

Vienna (Billy Joel, The Stranger) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “um . because. idk. like its just there. its not an ophelia song, despite it being there”

Riptide (Vance Joy, Dream Your Life Away) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “the vibes”

Like Real People Do (Hozier, Take Me to Church) Associated with: Ophelia; Horatio Comments: “a- the vibessdjshf b- hamlet and ophelia are both homosexual and um. in a convience relation ship . with a dont ask dont tell motto . idk its wha t Appeared to me while reading over the lyrics i dont control these things. ANYWAY”

Line Without a Hook (Ricky Montgomery) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “ummm look at it”

Bloom- Bonus Track (The Paper Kites, Woodland) Associated with: Ophelia, Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “vibes”; “vibes and like the lyrics are so cute and soft for liek. them . please just let them be happy“; “vibes . the sound”; “idk it feels like a horatio song, "Can I take you to a moment//Where the fields are painted gold//And the trees are filled with memories//Of the feelings never told?" hes in love with hamlet but doesnt say it, and like "Oh, the whole world, it is sleeping//But my world is you//Can I be close to you?" like look??? please it is horatio im telling you “

Tea Errors (Jack Stauber) Associated with: (Pre-canon) Hamlet and Ophelia Comments: “All about woah we were really young and in love and now I’m super anxious and scared of everything now”

Ball Cap (Mother Mother) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “”Oh don't you know that beauty is only skin deep? Well baby, baby, come on and skin me" desperate love and hamlet wanting to get rid of the flesh”

Angel With a Shotgun (The Cab, Symphony Soldier) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “Obviously on one hand it's just a very obvious choice of song about deep love that makes you go to great lengths - but on top of that there are so many religious illusions in it - "I don't care if heaven won't take me back, I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe" etc - that I feel really speak to the just....amount of religion that is in that play and the implications of that for Hamlet and Horatio's relationship.”

A Sadness Runs Through Him (The Hoosiers) Associated with: Horatio Comments: “The song is about desperately trying to save someone who cannot be saved. Hmm. I wonder how in the world that could possibly relate to horatio. oh wait. it's literally the crux of the entire character”

Love & War in Your Twenties (Jordy Searcy, Dark in the City) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “Horatio to Hamlet - "I may never be a politician, or Make a lot of money, hold a high position Baby, you're my mission and all my glory days are yours I don't wanna take the world for granted While I'm still trying to understand it The more I live I am convinced Everyone just wants to be in love"”

It’s Alright (Mother Mother, Dance and Cry) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “Roughly going back and forth in terms of pov, with Hamlet feeling the pain of things that he has done ("I did one million stupid things, I said one billion foolish things", "I am broken down in shame") and Horatio reassuring him he's ok ("It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay, you're not a demon, there's a reason, you're behaving that way. It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay and I believe, yes, I believe that you will see a better day")”

Two (Sleeping At Last, Enneagram) Associated: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “Horatio's love for Hamlet in a "dude maybe you love him a little bit too much maybe worry about yourself too" kind of way.”

peace (Taylor Swift) Associated with: Hamlet and Ophelia Comments: “Somehow all of these lyrics feel like both Hamlet and Ophelia talking to each other with one voice.”

Can You Feel My Heart (Bring Me The Horizon) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “Just big "Hamlet is really not doing OK" vibes with this one.”

Stone (Jaymes Young, Feel Something) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “Just Horatio trying to be what Hamlet needs...also though specifically the first lyric; "Your father came and went like the ocean’s tide".”

Sunlight (Hozier, Wasteland, Baby!) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: "All the tales the same Told before and told again A soul that's born in cold and rain Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight And at last can grant a name To a buried and a burning flame As love and its decisive pain Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight"

Leave Out All The Rest (Linkin Park, Minutes to Midnight) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “Hamlet telling Horatio to tell his story: "When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed And don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest"

Bigger Than The Whole Sky (Taylor Swift, Midnights) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “I mean, it's just the aftermath of Hamlet's death: "Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye You were bigger than the whole sky You were more than just a short time And I've got a lot to pine about I've got a lot to live without"

my tears ricochet (Taylor Swift) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “So to me these lyrics scream of, not what sort of "actually happened", for want of a better way of putting it, but of what Ophelia thinks happened and how Hamlet treated her and it's sort of her ghost looking on at the funeral like "oh NOW you care???""I didn't have it in myself to go with grace And you're the hero flying around, saving face And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed Look at how my tears ricochet"

Ready, Aim, Fire (Imagine Dragons) Associated with: Fortinbras; Hamlet, Horatio, Laertes, Fortinbras, and Claudius Comments: “Fortinbras taking Denmark; "Ready aim fire An empire is falling In just one day" “This is SUCH a 5.2 duel scene song. listen to me listen. listen. "With our backs to the wall//The darkness will fall//We never quite thought//We could lose it all" Literally they all die. all of them. dead. well not Horatio but still, he looses it all. "An empire is falling//In just one day" what did i say. all dead. empire falling. "You close your eyes//And the glory fades" Theyre all dying. for nothing. why? because claudius wanted the throne so bad he would kill his brother? it doesnt matter if you die. "Off in the distance//There is resistance//Bubbling up and festering" Yeah, that that's fortinbras coming to take over the kindom. good luck buddie. Hey mr motion//Make me a potion//Shake it all up//With your mistery" Claudius again. he used poison on the blade + in the drink to make sure they died. "How come I've never seen//Your face around here//I know every single face//Around here" horatio questioning what fortinbras is doing here. "A man on a mission//Changing the vision//I was never welcome here" Claudius, on a mission of becoming king. yeah. "We don't have the choice to stay//We'd rather die than//Do it your way" Hamlet and Leartes in the duel, doomed to die by claudius. "Blood in the writing//Stuck in the fighting//Look through the riffle's sight" they!! are trapped!! doomed to this duel!! they cannot help it, they must die!! its tragic, but thats how the play was written. doomed by the narrative. "Hearing the echo//Holding the shackle//I was never welcome here" hamlet, seeing the ghost of his father, tasked with revenge, being the ghosts touchstone to the living realm. over all its such a tragic song for a tragic scene!!! there is . so much here. it could fill an animatic. i love it“

Yellow Flicker Beat (Lorde) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “Ophelia at the beginning of madness, thinking of what she thought she was going to be (she wasn't actually a princess but she did think she'd be Queen) and just watching everything, including her own mind, unravel.”

Battle Cry (Imagine Dragons, Smoke + Mirrors) Associated with: Hamlet, Fortinbras Comments: “Hamlet knowing that he's going to die ("I've been poisoned inside") and Fortinbras taking Denmark ("King is crowned, it's do or die")”

It Has Begun (STARSET, Transmissions) Associated with: Fortinbras Comments: “Fortinbras's pov before invading Denmark.”

Atlas Drowned (Gang of Youths, Go Farther In Lightness) Associated with: Laertes Comments: “This is Laertes storming the castle, willing to dare damnation and call all of Elsinore into account for how they harmed his family. There’s anger, frustration, disgust at the hegemony, but also a deep, deep love.”

Hey Brother (Avicii, True) Associated with: Laertes and Ophelia Comments: “Oh, and if the sky comes falling down / for you / there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.” NEED I SAY MORE 🥺👉👈”

In The Best Case Scenario We’d Die at the Same Time (My Name is Ian) Associated with: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Comments: “🥹 babe”

Little Talks (Of Monsters And Men, My Head Is An Animal) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: ““And some days I can’t even dress myself” “It’s killing me to see you this way””

Una Palabra (Carlos Varela, nubes) Associated with: Laertes to Ophelia Comments: “ANYWAY this whole song is so them but especially the last line. “Está la orilla donde me ahogo” means “the shore in which I drown.” This is in reference to eyes, specifically OPHELIA’S EYES. Like it’s literally too perfect. How is this NOT Laertes coded????”

Left Brain, Right Brain (Bo Burnham, what.) Associated with: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Comments: “They’ve always given me very left brain and right brain vibes. Ros is emotional, Guil is analytical. Also, the explosion and immediate apology from left brain is so Guil.”

Dust in the Wind (Kansas) Associated with: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Comments: “The overarching theme in the song of narrative insignificance is very relevant to the idea of R&G.”

i’m gonna tell my therapist on you (Pinkshift) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “The idea of a ‘downwards spiral’ and blaming it on others feels like Hamlet tbh”

Little Dark Age (MGMT) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “Dude, just listen to it. It sounds like something Hamlet wrote in his emo poetry book”

Not the Ghost (The Crane Wives, Foxlore) Associated with: Hamlet and Hamlet Sr. (the ghost) Comments: “If only I could break the chain of disappointments weighing me down” is such a Hamlet line.

Typical Me (kroh) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “Yes ik its originally a ranboo fansong but. Look at it.”

Dead Hearts (Stars, The Five Ghosts) Associated with: Fortinbras and Horatio (talking post-play) Comments: “'They were kids that I once knew/now they're all dead hearts to you'. an interview between an outsider trying to understand and the unwilling witness to it all.”

Up the Wolves (The Mountain Goats, The Sunset Tree) Associated with: Basically everyone young in Hamlet, especially Hamlet and Ophelia Comments: “Just listen”

No Children (The Mountain Goats, Tallahassee) Associated with: Basically everyone young in Hamlet, especially Hamlet and Ophelia Comments: “Just listen”

Child Support (Woz) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “Vibes”

Another Me (D_AAN) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “A description of Hamlet’s supposed descent into madness – a change in personality and identity from a madness constructed by a ‘deceiving person’ (偽者) to actually becoming mad. The narrator also calls themself ‘traitor’ (裏切り), which is fitting considering the R&G arc. One line that stands out is “Are all humans in the world the same” (世界中の人間が同じですか), which reminds me of the “To be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand” bit (Act II Scene II)”

Grievous Lady (Team Grimoire & Laur) Associated with: Gertrude Comments: “I just think ‘grievous’ is an excellent word to describe Gertrude’s situation and fate.”

Purgatorium ( お月さま交響曲) Associated with: Hamlet Sr. (the ghost) Comments: “Obviously a song themed around Purgatory and Hamlet Sr. – coded. Specifically, though: “Is this the end or the beginning?” (これは終わりなのか始まりか) feels like a commentary on whether avenging his death will be the end-all of strife or the start of something even more disastrous. Also, “Will you take away my sounds, colours, and memories and destroy what I am?” (音も色も記憶も奪って/私と云うモノを壊して――？) suggests that the ghost is no longer Hamlet Sr., but a faded and hollow shell of him that only understands vengeance.”

Blastix Riotz (Camellia) Associated with: Laertes Comments: “Laertes’s aggressive and chaotic energy.”

Bad Elixir (Xi) Associated with: Claudius Comments: “‘Bad Elixir’ = Poison, which is what Claudius did to Hamlet Sr. and also what the presence of Claudius appears to represent in the play (something rotten in the state of Denmark). Also, the melody is less dramatic/antagonistic, but more descending/tragic, which feels like a fitting representation of how he’s really more of the Lawful Evil type than your stereotypical villain.”

Imaginary Friends (Sta) Associated with: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Comments: “R&G are the Imaginary Friends of Hamlet – apparently his friends, but not really, and cease to be alive by the end of the play. Two especially relevant lines: “we wouldn't wake up to dark so long” -> they are going to be executed, so yeah, they won’t be waking up at all after not so long “We smile under the coil all over again” -> Hamlet’s “For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, / When we have shuffled off this mortal coil” (Act III Scene I)”

WATER (A-39) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “Well, a song about drowning is a song about Ophelia. A line that stands out is “I was merely searching for a wish that did not come true” (叶わない願いをただ探していた) – which could represent Ophelia’s attitude towards Hamlet’s affection: she wishes they were true, but they turned out to be just a part of Hamlet’s plot. Also, “pressure, opposing currents, suffocation, dizziness” (圧力　対流��窒息　目眩) is a good description of her reaction to her father’s death: Polonius and Hamlet are the “opposing currents” pulling her apart and “pressuring” her in different ways, thus causing her to lose direction (“dizziness”) and start drowning (“suffocation”) long before she physically did”

Purple Verse (Hommarju) Associated with: Polonius Comments: “Polonius speaks in purple prose, but it’s verse instead of prose. Hence Purple Verse.”

I’ve Heard it Said (combatplayer) Associated with: Horatio Comments: “The song is very transient, and Horatio (as “Timekeeper”) is a transient character. Lyrics are also very fitting. “You know that it’s insane” -> direct commentary on Hamlet’s madness. “Before it takes you down” indicates Horatio’s understanding that Hamlet is descending and will eventually fall. “The universe is made up of stories” references Horatio’s role as the person who would be telling the story of the tragedy.”

Phantom (WF1/F-777) Associated with: Hamlet Sr. (the ghost) Comments: “Phantom” can mean “ghost”, “nightmare”, or “illusion”, and I think all three apply to Hamlet Sr. – he’s presented as a ghost, but Hamlet’s madness can be interpreted by some sort of terror/fear in response to his presence (like how one might react to a nightmare), while the ghost might not even be real (illusion). Also the pipe organ is an instrument that fits the religious implications of Hamlet Sr. and the play quite well.”

Out of your love (Exhaust Mix) (RANDO:) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “Ophelia is a character that should not be defined by Hamlet’s ‘love’ for her, hence ‘Out of your love’. Another line, ‘Heaven can fall’, references how her death is not honoured properly and how the ‘holiness debate’ of Hamlet’s and Claudius’s actions are largely irrelevant to her.”

Why do you hate me? (Camellia) Associated with: Polonius Comments: “Polonius does not appear to understand the gravity of his actions, and is somewhat confused when Hamlet and Gertrude express disdain towards him, hence ‘Why do you hate me?’. Also, the drum patterns, distorted vocal samples, and sound effects sound like endless rambling, and the last bit feels like him bleeding out after he is stabbed (sorry)”

Vicious Heroism - Traitor Version (Kobaryo) Associated with: Laertes Comments: “Laertes is obviously a hero with a vicious disposition who eventually betrayed Claudius. The song also contains a multitude of genre and key shifts, and is set at the very high BPM of 256 – this reflects how fast everything progressed since Laertes returned from France, and his internal turmoil over how to deal with the situation (the whole honour thing).”

lastendconductor (zts) Associated with: Horatio Comments: “This is the theme song of Battler Ushiromiya from the visual novel Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Battler and Horatio are parallel characters in that they are both survivors of tragic narratives that use storytelling as a coping mechanism for their shock, loss, and grief. “conductor” refers to how each of these characters direct the retellings of the “last end”, or the certainty of the deaths of essentially everyone else except themself. Also, the genre of trance and the texture of the violin vibe pretty well with Horatio.”

FLOWER (DJ YOSHITAKA) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “Apart from the direct association of Ophelia with flowers, I feel like Ophelia is suited for ‘retro’-style songs that have rising chords and reassuring melodies. I suppose this is more of a pre-canon Ophelia.”

RESSiSTANCE (ぐるたみん) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “I think this is another song that tells the story of the play from Hamlet’s perspective. ‘lovesong with the image of falsehood’ (嘘の様に、愛の歌を) describes his communication to Ophelia; ‘as I do not know whether the meaning of tomorrow will be taken away’ (明日の意味を奪われなどしらないから) expresses his existential dread (to be or not to be) and his indecision; ‘to jail the depths of my heart behind a lock’ (ココロの奥で鍵かけたいや) references his ‘acting’ and how his madness is of ambiguous ingenuity; ‘If the answer I desire does not lie here – merely this is sufficient reason to embark’ (望んだ答がここじゃないのなら/踏み出す理由はそれだけでいい) describes his rather long-winded journey to ascertain Claudius’s fratricide, via a play etc; ‘my struggling heartbeat is the proof of my breath’ (抗う鼓動が今呼吸への証だ) again fits with the ‘to be or not to be’ and his internal conflicts; ‘Even if the clock’s hands turn in reverse, I cannot return to yesterday’ (時計の針を巻��戻しても/昨日に戻れるわけじゃないから) is reminiscent of ‘for yourself, sir, shall grow old as I am, if, like a crab, you could go backward’, and shows despair at his newfound predicament Finally ‘Resistance’ can also refer to how Hamlet breaks the fourth wall and resists the narrative (in futility of course)”

ヘルツ" (Hertz) (zeryoone ft. nao) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “I feel like this song is post-canon Horatio, at a very old age, reminiscing Hamlet. Again, it’s a very liminal song. Key lyrics: “the day we bid farewell” (あの日にさよなら) – establishes the subject of the song being the day Hamlet died “ ‘the unchanging’ is quite beautiful” (“確かなもの”って/綺麗だと思ってた) – commentary on how quickly everything in the play happened “in your eyes, I saw reflected my bitter smile” (その目に映した僕は/上手く笑えやしなかった) – best Hamratio quote I’ve ever seen. (the literal meaning is more like ‘I was unable to smile properly’, hence a contorted, forced, or bitter smile) And I think the following bits don’t even need much explaining: “the conversations floating in space and the resigned answers both fade, frozen in wintry cold” (宙に浮かんだ会話も/苦し紛れの返事も/冬の寒さに凍えて/居場所を失くしたようだった) “I’ve long known your desires; I’ve also known why you didn’t cry” (もう分かっていた/涙なんて無くたって/分かっていた) “Why would this become merely a memory” (記憶になってしまうなんて) “Fear prevents me from releasing your hand from my grip” (僕は怖くなって放せない) “This is the last time; that is the last time” (もう最後だった/あれが最後だったんだ) “A tremendous force took you away” (巨大な力がきみだけ奪ってく) – the force of the narrative; “I cannot forgive this world, about to resurrect itself” (生まれ変わろうとする世界がただ/赦せなかった) – Fortinbras; “I touch the transparent you” (透明なきみに触れていたんだ) “Both my grief and my regret faded on the night of hope” (僕の愁いや後悔も/消え去ってしまえと願う夜を) “on the day we bid farewell, I’ll tell you, I’ve forgotten you” (あの日にさよなら/言って/きみを忘れていく)”

Alea jacta est! (BlackY and WAiKURO) Associated with: Hamlet and Laertes Comments: “Yes, the title refences “iacta alea est” (“the die is cast” = “we are past the point of no return”) supposedly said by Julius Caesar as he led his army across the Rubicon to start the civil war. Thus this song is about Hamlet and Laertes’s duel. (The song’s MV also features two people duelling.) I feel like this sort of ‘jazzy trancecore’ genre also captures the duel’s vibe pretty well.”

しう" (SIU) (MARETU) Associated with: Laertes Comments: “This song discusses Laertes as a ‘rallier of the people’. Specific relevant lines include “an overflowing anti-affluence sentiment” (あふるる反富裕), “life and the world are merely such, huh?” (限界だろう？人間界は), “give compassion to the plebeian sacrificers” (最低の犠牲者に愛を) Also, “give termination to the slaves of hope” (願望の奴隷に終いを) feels like foreshadowing to the duel.”

こちら、幸福安心委員会です。(This is the council of happiness and contentment.) (UtataP) Associated with: Claudius Comments: “This song describes a dystopian society where people are required to be happy – or they will be executed in excessively cruel ways. As such, this is a darker interpretation of Claudius’s reign – why is everyone so content under him? The answer is that any dissenters were executed, much like Hamlet was intended to be.”

Löschen (BlackY and Risa Yuzuki) Associated with: Hamlet and Laertes Comments: “I feel like this is another song that depicts Hamlet and Laertes’s duel. “To reveal my voice with raspy words” (錆びた声で吐き出して) – the pre-duel sort-of-confession-and-reconciliation scene; “One-sided justice manifests in my fleeting thoughts; I have continued to make choices untrue to myself” (片側だけの正義/横切る影に立ち　不自由選び続けてた) – apart from what is essentially a Polonius reference, this shows how both Hamlet and Laertes are unable to comprehend the entirety of the situation and have little free will in their fates “Facing the unobscured you, I wish this nameless view will last forever” (隠せない方を背に/名前のない景色　終わらないでと待ち続けた) – again, they are both relieved that the other is being honest and vulnerable to a certain extent There are also a few self-evident lines: “If forgiveness is as cruel as harmony, I have already made my decision” (赦されること　それが無慈悲な調和と等しいのなら、/答え遂げて) “Under the exploits of “pain”, we keep hurting each other” (悼みという名のもとに/繰り返し傷つけあう)”

Uprooted, Marooned (Memoryheads (Frums & Silentroom)) Associated with: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Comments: “Highly experimental, almost nonsensical style that ends with intense static ambiance – I feel like this is more of RosGuil in R&G are Dead than in Hamlet itself. I don’t feel like this is the type of song I can explain with words.”

彁 (Ka) (LeaF) Associated with: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Comments: “彁 does not actually exist as a kanji or a hanzi – it is a Unicode ‘ghost character’ caused by an error in digitalising and cataloguing kanji. Thus the song denotes the perceived existence of things that don’t actually exist, which is again RosGuil’s lives. This song also ends in static, which is the execution scene, of course.”

Mutiny (F-777) Associated with: Laertes Comments: “Laertes and his revolution, of course. The strong kicks are his vibe.”

miragecoordinator (zts) Associated with: Gertrude Comments: “I’d say this track is a sinister interpretation of Gertrude, in which she is an accomplice in Claudius’s schemes. “Mirage coordinator” indicates that she is helping Claudius put up the illusion of everything being well in Denmark and cover up the fratricide. Also, the song’s chant samples and dissonant melodies give a sinister vibe overall.”

ÅMARA(大未来電脳) (Amaracus, computer of the grand future) (sasakure.UK) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “Okay, disclaimer, I don’t even comprehend much of this song’s lyrics, but I think it represents Hamlet’s messed-up mind and “infinite space” pretty well. Some bits that I can understand: “Truth or fabrication – no one knows what the future will be” (現実か虚構か、誰にもその先は解らない) – uncertainty, indecision “Even the name of the person who poems are waiting for has been forgotten” (詩が待つ彼の名も忘れて) – something about Hamlet being a poet and slowly losing his identity throughout the play “From the corridor where the poison of dreams is spat out, to the fracturing of the celebration of resurrection – dwell in heaven, in this night!” (夢の毒吐く回廊/再生の祝祭が千切れるまで/天国を這う、夜に！) – I suppose “poison of dreams” can refer to how Hamlet died and “good night, sweet prince”, and the rest is religious imagery about how Hamlet and the people he killed would all end up in purgatory rather than heaven”

Tie me down gently (溝口ゆうま feat. 大瀬良あい) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “Another song of Horatio towards Hamlet. I interpret the title to be Horatio recognising and accepting that Hamlet is “tying him down” – i.e. binding him into the tragedy. Especially relevant lyrics: “If these dreams are so sweet, let me never awaken” (甘い甘い夢ならば覚めないでよ) – an extension of “good night, sweet prince” “This city is threatening whenever, and there is nowhere to run” (街はいつも時間に怯えて逃れる場所は何処にも無い) – Elsinore as a dangerous prison “Merely our distance fills me with dread” (君との距離ですら不安になってくる) – self-explanatory “Slave becomes a knight” – multi-layered meaning in this one. Although Hamlet is of a higher social class than Horatio, he often refers to himself with phrases like ‘a rogue and peasant slave’. Horatio may be considered the archetypal ‘knight by a prince’ character. From all this we get the sense that Hamlet and Horatio are truly inseparable and even not distinguishable at some points. “Even though I am so weak, I remain by your side to show you love, love, love” (弱い弱い僕だけど君の傍で Show you love, love, love) – also self-explanatory.”

Vital (Masaaki Endō) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “This is actually the OP of the anime “Angels of Death”, but I feel like it also describes Hamlet right after his meeting with the ghost. This is a relatively more noble and less sinister interpretation of the play. “Locked fabrications and the sacrificed future” (鍵をかけた虚構と/捨てられた未来が) – expresses determination despite uncertainty “boring words and obscured fates adorn the cold knife with rationale” (下らない言葉と/正体不明の運命か/冷えたナイフに理由を付着ていく) – Hamlet knows what he’s doing and why he’s doing it “If woe befalls me too much, I will slice it into pieces” (何万と積もった懸念を/線状に切り裂いていく) – again, determination “Uncertain resolve, pure prayers, honest words – promise to forgive none” (逡巡なこの心を/純粋な祈りを/単純な言葉のまま/誓う誰が赦さなくとも) – I guess this is pretty self-evident”

Nyarlathotep's Dreamland (Raimukun) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “A representation of Hamlet’s so-called “infinite space”, which is surreal and perhaps eldritch in nature.”

Random (Silentroom) Associated with: Polonius Comments: “Polonius will say the most random shit ever in the most random tone, pitch, and cadence ever, just to keep rambling. This is represented pretty well in the song.”

キミとボクへの葬送歌 (A Requiem to You and Me) (ROKINA) Associated with: Hamlet and Laertes Comments: “Simply a representation of how Hamlet and Laertes both die in the duel. The descending chords further manifest the tragedy.”

Ultimatecalifragilisticexpialidocious (t+pazolite) Associated with: Polonius Comments: “Polonius would definitely pick one of the longest words in the language (supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) and make it EVEN LONGER. Bless that old man.”

The Survivor (Taishi) Associated with: Horatio Comments: “What else is Horatio if not The Survivor? Again, trance vibes with Horatio pretty well. The song somehow manages to stay calm with a bunch of chainsaw kicks, which is essentially Horatio lowkey downplaying Hamlet’s murders.”

狂言綺語 (False Embellishment) (影虎。& ikaruga_nex) Associated with: Polonius Comments: ““False Embellishment” is essentially gaslighting with fancy words, which is one of the most Polonius things ever. This song also has a lot of distorted vocal samples throughout – a.k.a. rambling. Finally, the melody is definitely something a stuck-up, fancy noble would listen to.”

Now Is The Time, Do It (Roy Mikelate) Associated with: Hamlet Sr. (the ghost) Comments: “Hardstyle song with a bunch of vocal samples from a horror game is definitely Hamlet Sr.’s vibe as a ghost. The title fits his presence when Hamlet is in Gertrude’s room – he is urging Hamlet to kill Claudius right then.”

F1055 (Silentroom) Associated with: Polonius Comments: “Irregular rhythm, dissonant melody, heavy psy kicks and reverb – definitely the vibe of Polonius’s droning. The title is a convoluted version of the word “flow”, which fits both Polonius speaking in needlessly convoluted phrasing and his speech flowing on.”

Promising Light (Iron & Wine, The Creek Drank the Cradle) Associated with: Hamlet and Ophelia Comments: “This song feels like it's about Hamlet realizing and admitting to his mistakes (and hopefully making up with Ophelia).

White Winter Hymnal (Fleet Foxes) Associated with: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Comments: “This song feels like the end of RAGAD. Man... they're just going along with what they're being told and it always ends the same :(”

Blood // Water (grandson) Associated with: Claudius, Gertrude, and Polonius; Hamlet, Laertes, and Ophelia Comments: “"The price of your greed is your son and your daughter, what you gon' do when there's blood in the water?" These kids deserve a chance to call out their parents for not doing something more to stop this tragedy!”

tous les mêmes (Stromae) Associated with: Hamlet and Ophelia Comments: “This feels like an over-the-top Hamlet & Ophelia argument (possibly performed for Polonius and Claudius to throw them off Hamlet’s trail- he’s gone mad over a lover’s quarrel, not because he knows about the murder of Hamlet Sr.)”

A Great Design (Black Marble, A Different Arrangement) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “vibes. also, the song talks about "a great design", which I think fits the themes of Hamlet as it also says "we don't have a long time, a great design." This relates to Hamlet, I think, because there seems to be a plan afoot, even if it is only the hand of the author, dictating this must be a tragedy. Therefore, Hamlet is doomed to tragedy and I think this song expresses that.”

Haunt You (X Lovers feat. Chloe Moriondo) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “In the song the singer talks about how someday when he dies, and turns into a ghost, he's going to come back to haunt the other person, because he doesn't want anyone else to have them. "Can't picture my life without you by my side... can't let you go... never let you go..." If this isn't Hamlet to Horatio, I don't know what is.”

Fourth of July (Sufjan Stevens, Carrie & Lowell) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “vibes. Also, it talks about an evil that spread and a celebration and how we're all going to die. It also talks about someone dying, and how everything was fiction and prediction. To me, it's about Hamlet and the end of his life.”

Bad Decisions (The Strokes) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “vibes. Also, Hamlet makes a lot of bad decisions, and it shows how sometimes he can be harsh with Horatio, and I think it sums up their relationship pretty well.”

Everybody Just Wants To (Johnny Goth) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “The song talks about "playing pretend" like Hamlet does and asks "when will it end" and I think the song is ultimately about death, which is something Hamlet is fixated on. also, vibes”

christian death (Ekkstacy) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “The song is about suicide, and wanting to commit it, wanting to rip other people to shreds and losing perspective on other people. It's about despair and desperation and being stuck, which I think resonates with Hamlet.”

We’ll Be Together (In Love With A Ghost) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “The song itself has no lyrics, but I think the title says it all. If you look at it from a Hamlet perspective, the song is about Hamlet and Horatio wanting so bad to be together, then vowing that someday they'll be togther after death. They'll find each other, no matter what.”

Barking Dog (Dizzy) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “Just... listen to the lyrics. I can't decide if it's from Hamlet's or Horatio's perspective, I think it's Hamlet, but it's about pain and letting go and how love can't take the pain away. "We're bound by blood and gore...", "darkness reaps what darkness sows"... agh it makes me wanna cry”

Why Am I Like This? (Orla Gartland) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “The whole song is questioning why the singer has to be this way, why she can't change. It talks about her coming across everyday sadness and regretting not helping, and that just... reminds me of him. It talks about never being in the moment, going out to shout the words we never said, and how those words are stuck on a loop inside her head. It's an angry song at times, the singer is clearly angry at herself for the way she is, but equally frustrated that she can't change. It questions everything, questions others' love for her, questions her own soul, and it's just... Hamlet. To me.”

Love Like Ghosts (Lord Huron, Strange Trails) Associated with: Hamlet and Ophelia Comments: “Ophelia and hamlet song, song about love and ghosts. they have tenuous relationships with both.”

Hello My Old Heart (The Oh Hellos, Oh. Hello.) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “the sound/vibes”

Meet Me in the Woods (Lord Huron, Strange Trails) Associated with: Hamlet; Ophelia Comments: “hamlet goes to horatio and talks about seeing his ghost dad”; “ophelia madness song”

Seneca (Novo Amor) Associated with: Horatio Comments: “vibes... there's a sadness to it, a sense of what could've been, but also pride in the love they've had. "I can make it all feel far away..." Horatio wants to take Hamlet's pain away, but he knows it's not that simple, and even if it were, Hamlet wouldn't listen. "Ain't it funny how we went nowhere?" Horatio is talking about how they pushed and pushed, but stayed in the same place... no real closure, no real revenge that could be celebrated, just more dead bodies.”

What A Heavenly Way To Die (Troye Silvan, I’m Not Afraid Anymore) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “horatio in love with hamlet, but i feel like he knows the play can only end in tradedy”

Planets and Stars (PAVVLA) Associated with: Ophelia Comments: “vibes”

Light (Sleeping At Last) Associated with: Hamlet and Horatio Comments: “Horatio song for hamlets death again. horatio sings this to hamlet as hes dying, again hes crying, and hoping that hamlet can go to heaven, even if he knows that is imposible with what hamlet has done. he still hopes. he has to. hes broken by hamlets death but he loves him and need hamlet to know that. he hopes hamlet hears him. he hopes its not too late.”

Haunted (Laura Les) Associated with: Hamlet Comments: “This song is very much a Hamlet kind of losing it a bit: "I've been up for three days, everything is haunted, everyone is evil and there's bugs inside the carpet". Like, him losing perspective on who he is and who the villain is and I don't think he was sleeping much either.”

Upward Over the Mountain (Iron & Wine, The Creek Drank The Cradle) Associated with: Hamlet and Gertrude Comments: “Hamlet looks back on his relationship with his mother just before he dies. "Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed" is a GREAT line about Claudius' death and the rest of the song feels like a retrospective on Hamlet's friendships, relationships, birth, and death. The singer compares himself to a bird (like Hamlet's "fall of a sparrow" line!) and talks about flying "upward over the mountain," perhaps hanging on to dreams of going to heaven.”

Macbeth:

Rattlesnake (Kabaret Sybarit, The Poodle) Associated with: Lady Macbeth Comments: “THIS IS HER SONG. IT'S HERS! completely by coincidence, the whole plot of the play is there and i love it.”

Notos (The Oh Hellos, Notos EP) Associated with: Malcolm Comments: “it has the vibe. maybe post-canon or act 5 specifically?”

Miss Macbeth (Elvis Costello, Spike) Associated with: Lady Macbeth Comments: “Once again. Just. Just look at the title for a second”

Shia LaBeouf Live (Rob Cantor, single) Associated with: The whole show Comments: “I was in Macbeth and we were all super normal about this song and it was a cast in joke”

Thus Always to Tyrants (The Oh Hellos, Dear Wormwood) Associated with: Macduff and Lady Macduff Comments: “I picture these lyrics as their separate thought processes as they say goodbye for the last time (not aware it's the last, of course) through the end of the play.”

Caesar (The Oh Hellos, Dear Wormwood) Associated with: Malcolm Comments: “This is how I picture Malcolm's coronation going down. It's bittersweet but has an air of power about it and takes place in the early springtime ("feel how the winter succumbs to the spring"). I imagine Macduff is the speaker here, ordering the Thanes (now Earls) and soldiers to gather and watch the heir be crowned. Malcolm ignores his uncertainty and takes the crown.”

I Will Survive (Cake, Fashion Nugget) Associated with: Lady Macduff Comments: “She *won't* survive, but I think she'd like this song after getting abandoned by Macduff.”

Romeo and Juliet:

Rose (The Oh Hellos, Boreas) Associated with: Romeo and Juliet Comments: “this has a little bit of romance, a little bit of existentialism, and a little bit of everyone else watching this teenage shitshow play out. (and it's also a great song, when taking for its metaphorical meaning, about oppression by christian nationalists)”

Things We Lost in the Fire (Bastille, All This Bad Blood) Associated with: Benvolio Comments: “i just,,,, he lost a lot of things yk? not in a fire necessarily but still i personally think romeo and juliet is very dumpster fire core”

The Diver (Bastille, VS (Other People’s Heartache Part III)) Associated with: Mercutio Comments: “A PLAGUE ON BOTH YOUR HOUSESSSSS ^ legitimately one of the lyrics”

Kill the Director (The Wombats, A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation) Associated with: Romeo Comments: “this reminds me of when romeo falls in love with rosaline and/or juliet haha the irony is that it is not a romcom as matthew 'murph' murphy says”

Johanna (Sweeney Todd 2012) Associated with: Romeo Comments: “you have captured a theatre kid congrats anyways this song is romeocore to me. no clue why”

I’ll Follow You Into the Dark (Death Cab for Cutie) Associated with: Romeo and Juliet Comments: “listen to the song. you'll get it. basically it's "if you die i'm following you"

Creep (Radiohead) Associated with: Romeo Comments: “This is what I imagine Romeo singing/screaming in the woods at the start of the play after his pseudo-breakup with Rosaline. Like I like to think Benvolio hears SHEEEE RUNNNSS OUT THE DOOOOOOOOOOR in the distance and is like "oh there he goes"

Kiss Me (Sixpence None The Richer, Songs of Love & Romance) Associated with: Romeo and Juliet Comments: “This song feels like what Romeo and Juliet's relationship feels like to me. Like it's secretive and sweet and there's that lovely emphasis on the safety of night and it's like awwww man”

Time In A Bottle (Jim Croce) Associated with: Romeo and Juliet Comments: “it's a beautiful and melancholic song about loving someone deeply but not being able to spend enough time with them due to the fact that you aren't gonna be around with them forever....hey I can think of two zany teens who love each other and then get very little time together before their demise! It just really feels right. Also a lovely song in general.”

The Bitch Is Back (Elton John) Associated with: Romeo, Benvolio, and Mercutio Comments: “They are ALL the Bitch that is BACK”

A Thousand Miles (Vanessa Carlton, Be not Nobody) Associated with: Romeo Comments: “he loves kinda crappy love poems and he thinks this is THE most romantic song of all times, BAR NONE.“

Come To My Window (Melissa Etheridge, Yes I Am Melissa) Associated with: Romeo and Juliet Comments: “This song is just the balcony scene, and I think it captures the kinda cheery sweet energy of Romeo and Juliet's whole relationship”

Heart Of Glass (Blondie, Parallel Lines) Associated with: Romeo Comments: “it's a song about feeling a lot of feelings over love and being kinda led around by it, for better and for worse! That sounds a lot like my guy Romeo in my mind. It also just feels like a song he would like”

Wonderwall (Oasis, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?) Associated with: Romeo Comments: “Romeo is kinda annoying/enough into art and poetry that I think he is 100% one of those guys who starts learnign guitar and brings it around when he hangs out with his friends and is like "hey guys look what I learned to play" and then he plays wonderwall (a song he finds VERY romantic)”

War (Edwin Starr, War & Peace) Associated with: The Capulets and the Montagues Comments: “A GREAT song about how war and violence SUCKS and ends up harming people senselessly with no benefit to the actual people. That sounds a bit like my favorite sensless feud between two households, both alike in dignity...”

On My Own (Les Misérables) Associated with: Romeo (about Rosaline) Comments: “This is what Romeo is doing before he makes his first appearance in the play. Dramatic little bitch.”

See You Again (Tyler, The Creator feat. Kali Uchis, Flower Boy) Associated with: Romeo and Juliet Comments: “Romeo goes bonkers about Juliet while she "prepares" for her wedding to Paris”

make me wanna die (lovelytheband, if we’re being honest) Associated with: Romeo and Juliet Comments: “I think the song is written about them, but I think it's a modern rendition with flawed protagonists. They both have mental health issues and modern problems, but they still love each other despite it and somehow it's a strange dependence that seems to fixate on death and seems to spiral towards its inevitable end.”

Othello:

Chemical Overreaction / Compound Fracture (Will Wood and the Tapeworms, Everything is a Lot) Associated with: Othello Comments: “it's a hard song to read but it's all about ANGER and VIOLENCE and OOOOH KILL KILL FIGHT which is like Othellocore, not to mention Othello has always given spaghetti western vibes to me (don't ask me) so this is fits for me :)”

Julius Caesar:

Little Dark Age (MGMT) Associated with: The whole show Comments: “The death of the republic as the death of an already rotting corpse. The cospirators kill Caesar as if he was a parasite poisoning the body of the state. Little do they know that the venom has already infected everything. I see it almost a a background song for scheming/preparing for the war.”

Exit Music (For A Film) (Radiohead) Associated with: The whole show Comments: “After the assassination. Cospirators red with blood, Anthony enters the scene (breathe keep breathing, dont loose your nerve) he fakes civility, he gives them his hands, staining them with blood. Brutus convinces Cassius to keep him alive. Then Anthony is alone. At the crescendo he breaks on Caesar's corpse”

Cassius (Foals) Associated with: Cassius Comments: “Nothing too philosophical it's very Cassius core”

Love It Dissipates (Mother Mother) Associated with: Brutus and Cassius Comments: “After the fight in the tent scene. Almost a lullaby for codepending love. Yes you're everything to me, but you're also all the things that poison me. I'd be your anything, baby. The frame to your picture, the pain to your wound. I'd give my heart too to you”

Brutus (The Buttress) Associated with: Brutus Comments: “Uh. Trans Brutus??? (“What’s more wrong, that I too wish to be great or my mother wished she’d had a son?”) Also, great use of a Macbeth line.”

King Lear:

I’m Not That Guy (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) Associated with: Edmund Comments: “Idk man the. The vibes. Not all of it fits but that sure is him. Yeah.”

my tears ricochet (Taylor Swift) Associated with: Cordelia Comments: “hands down”

Comedies:

Twelfth Night:

Never Love an Anchor (The Crane Wives, Coyote Stories) Associated with: Antonio and Sebastian Comments: “Ocean theme! "Unrequited" love angst! I think this is the song that a modern Antonio would listen to on his way home from Sebastian's wedding. (And then Olivia hopefully realizes that she's actually in love with Viola and Seb and Antonio get their happily ever after a few months later)” “HI DIANTHUS putting this here bc of your post! 10000/10 fully agree also ive seen people apply this song to multiple ships on tumblr when i was looking this song up which is great. amazing. let’s keep doing this! (which makes sense bc. anchor… ship…. hey i am normal.) also i am p sure someone has already submitted this here! hi!”

Community Gardens (The Scary Jokes, BURN PYGMALION!!! A Better Guide To Romance) Associated with: Viola Comments: “its giving make me a willow cabin at your gate TONS, also it's so cute and I feel like it's got the kind of edge that I just KNOW Viola has”

Cloud 9 (Beach Bunny) Associated with: Viola Comments: None

True Trans Soul Rebel (Against Me!, Transgender Dysphoria Blues) Associated with: Viola Comments: None

Much Ado About Nothing:

Hello, Goodbye (The Beatles, Greatest Hits) Associated with: Benedick and Beatrice Comments: “This is their entire relationship.”

Champagne (Machinery of the Human Heart) Associated with: Benedick and Beatrice Comments: “Song is about being in love and hating it hating love and that you love and ooough”

Sweet Talk (Saint Motel) Associated with: Benedick and Beatrice Comments: “THE benedick Beatrice song”

She Wants Me (To Be Loved) (The Happy Fits) Associated with: Benedick Comments: “After he is tricked into believing that Beatrice loves him. Sue me.”

I Want You To Want Me (Letters to Cleo, 10 Things I Hate About You) Associated with: Benedick and Beatrice Comments: “This song is playful and teasing and both Benedick and Beatrice definitely DO want the other person to want them. It just feels right man”

Barracuda (Glee cover) Associated with: The whole show Comments: “It just fits lol”

say no to drugs (lovelytheband, if we’re being honest) Associated with: Benedick Comments: “I see the song as being from Benedick's perspective. He is lamenting how people always taught him the things to watch out for, but never warned him about falling in love, which I think fits his actual arc in the play where he unexpectedly falls in love and finds it "strange.”

Over You (HOLYCHILD, The Theatrical Death of Julie Delicious) Associated with: Beatrice, Benedick, and Hero Comments: “This song to me, is so like Beatrice talking about herself "I'm a bitch, modern witch, student in the failure of love" and then about Hero "if it's done, he's not the one" and then Benedick "do you know what your love meant to me" (because I think it's implied that Beatrice and Benedick were together briefly before the events of the play). "I'm so hopeless and over you, want you to know it too" is SO Beatrice talking about Benedick about their "merry war" of words.”

The Taming of the Shrew:

Tongues and Teeth (The Crane Wives, The Fool in Her Wedding Gown) Associated with: Katherina Comments: “I mean cmon. cmon. cmon. cmon.”

Measure for Measure:

Ribs (The Crane Wives, Foxlore) Associated with: Isabella and Juliet Comments: “Fuck men sometimes, man...”

A Midsummer Night’s Dream:

Rude (MAGIC!, Don’t Kill The Magic) Associated with: The whole show Comments: None

Trolius and Cressida:

Achilles (Dhimira) Associated with: Achilles and Patroclus Comments: “Well the song is named after Achilles and I think it's already about Achilles and Patroclus without me analyzing it, but basically it's about Patroclus' death, and about how Patroclus and Achilles will follow each other anywhere.”

HYACINTHUS (Aidoneus) Associated with: Achilles and Patroclus Comments: “This song is supposed to be about Apollo and Hyacinthus, but I feel like it applies to Achilles and Patroclus too. "See how flowers grow beneath where your head once lay... they are crying for you still". Essentially, Achilles mourning Patroclus' death towards the end of the play.”

Histories:

Henry VI:

The Night We Met (Lord Huron) Associated with: Margaret of Anjou and Henry VI Comments: “— but not really as it doesn’t fit their Shakespearean characterisation at all! It’s a Margaret who really actually loved Henry panicking after everything begins to go to shit in the early 1450s :)”

Henry IV (Parts 1 and 2):

Down the River (The Crane Wives, Foxlore) Associated with: Prince Hal, Henry IV, Falstaff Comments: “this sounds like a Henry IV lecture to Hal in song form (also, Falstaff at the end of part 2???)”

Romances:

The Tempest:

Part of Your World (The Little Mermaid) Associated with: Miranda Comments: “sighs. Look it's just the vibes. It's like if Miranda was a fish lady.”

Lost! (The Lightning Thief) Associated with: The Tempest Act 2, Scene 1 Comments: “Group of dumbass men who have no idea what's going on and at least half of them qualify for every national parks discount”

Other:

Comedy, Tragedy, History (Akala, Freedom Lasso) Associated with: The entire Shakespearean canon Comments: “It’s a song that’s trying very hard to name every shakespeare play and it does a pretty good job at it”

utsukushii kare really said we’re going to take two of the most fascinating, interesting, well-characterised characters to have ever been written and not just stick them in the same show, but put them in one of the most incredible relationships to be seen on screen and i cannot thank them enough for it. seriously, if you consider the fact that at this point we’re at ep 8 of a 30 minute runtime show; that’s 4 hours. i’ve watched other bls, heck even other ordinary shows, that can’t even cram enough characterisation into a character that hira or kiyoi have in their little fingernail. im not joking. and nothing shows that better than kiyoi in this ep.

i love that we’re already getting an episode from his perspective. we had to wait all the way until ep 4 of season 1 to see things from his side, and that was such an amazing twist and reveal and still to this day that ep makes me cry. but im so glad we get to see his perspective sooner. bc we don’t need that shock twist anymore, instead it serves as a good balance to see where both our characters are at in the first 2 eps. and yet again, seeing things from kiyoi’s pov just opens up the absolute treasure trove that is his character. there are so many stand out points from this ep that i wanna mention but I’ll wait until my big ‘favourite parts of utsukushii kare s2 ep2’ post to list them all. what i wanna say here is that every bit of his character we get to see in this ep comes together so well to create such an interesting, multi-faceted and well-rounded character that it’s kind of astounding. we start off with his softness and vulnerability that’s countered perfectly against hira’s timid reaction, and then we jump back to high school to see this full on longing and the frustration that comes with that, waiting to be confessed to. i wanted to say this about the first season but this serves a good opportunity too; I find it so interesting how they portray hira and kiyoi’s ‘seme and uke’ dynamic (im gonna use those terms bc i can’t think of any better way to describe it, just know im referring more to a more dominant vs more submissive personality, like the confesser vs the confesse, and not anything sexual). You could so easily watch this show, hear the premise, even see the characters, hira and his chronic shyness, kiyoi and his undeniable popularity, and easily place those labels; hira the uke, kiyoi the seme. but in reality, kiyoi so clearly wants to be the uke, and very much is the uke. he begs in his head for hira to confess his feelings fo him, half bc maybe he needs hira to be brave where he can’t be, but I think also half bc he just wants to be confessed to. He wants the boy he likes to tell him he likes him, just like he wants to cuddle in his lap and be looked after. it probably stems from this want to be loved, chosen to be loved, and be cared for where he felt he wasn’t before, but it’s just so refreshing and such an interesting subversion of expectations, to see inside cool, popular kiyoi’s head and it’s just him begging for this shy, nobody kid to like him, and say it out loud.

and then I’ve touched on this before, but you get to see his earnest drive and passion to do what he loves. the cool kid that should fit the stereotype of never caring about anything, pushing to do the thing he loves, putting himself out there. I just can’t describe how excellent of a subversion that is. and the way he is with people at work, with Anna, polite and cordial and sweet, it’s such a reverse of kiyoi’s tsundere shortness and bluntness with hira that it not only shows us that yes, we weren’t hallucinating, there really is an infinite pool of softness within kiyoi that pours out more and more every time we see him, but also shows us that kiyoi is maybe only his true self with Hira. he’s not this polite, nice boy, nor is he this cool, cold popular guy, he’s somewhere in the middle, a fascinating mix of both, that only hira gets to see the full extent of, and I think that says a lot about how comfortable he is with Hira, and how much he trusts him. as much as it may be bad that hira will never find fault with kiyoi, it also makes him his sanctity, his true safe place, where he can breathe and grow and truly be whatever he wants, soft, angry, cute, cool, vulnerable, hira will take it all and adore it no matter what.

and then we get his jealousy of koyama, his protectiveness and possessiveness of hira. it’s kind of endearing how he still feels these things when hira shows him such endless devotion, it’s a testament to how normal he sees their relationship compared to hira, and how he therefore allows himself to feel normal relationship things, including possessiveness. but also in this scene i really love how kiyoi is let’s himself doubt himself, and only when it comes to hira. i feel like we’ve only ever seen him been unsure of himself when it comes to the things he loves, namely his dream of being a performer, and hira. he only looses confidence when he doesn’t do well in the competition in high school, and is only ever doubtful when it comes to hira’s feelings about him, and how he is with hira, maybe bc they’re the only things he truly wants to last forever. so what does he do, just like he does with his acting career? he puts in sincere effort. he humbles himself taking that recipe from koyama, and despite his cluelessness and clear lack of skills, he still tries his absolute hardest to do something for hira. he cooks him a meal, one of the most ordinary and sincere expressions of love. and his shy smile the whole time, him waiting excitedly for hira to come home, it’s such a fantastically endearing contrast from the cold, removed kiyoi we know early in s1 that you almost can’t reconcile them as the same character, and yet the steps that got us here make it clear that they are in fact the same person, that both those people live inside kiyoi and that’s amazing. and of course something as ordinary as cooking a meal for your boyfriend can never be normal for hira and kiyoi but the chaos unfolds is what makes them absolutely them. it mirrors what kiyoi says at the start of the ep about Hira, ‘if it wasn’t disgusting, it wouldn’t be hira’. It’s the same for kiyoi, and the same for their relationship. they don’t want to change it fundamentally, don’t want to take away the things that make it them, they just want to find a way to take this thing they both want and love and build it, strengthen it, so it can last. and i’ll say it until I’m blue in the face, but that’s why kiyoi’s personality, his bluntness, works so well for hira. it provides this iron wall of reassurance based in truth that he needs. I think ‘im not dating a pebble’ might be my stand out line from a bl in 2023 already but it’s also so ridiculously laced in meaning. Kiyoi doesn’t see hira as just some rock, some insignificant thing on the side of the road, that’s not what he’s dating. He’s dating hira, the person. And I think this push for hira to see himself as a person is only something that kiyoi can do because, in a way, hira was the one to see Kiyoi first. I’m a different way, because of the complex hira still has around kiyoi, he may not be a person yet, but hira still saw him in a way no one else did because he cared enough to look and keep looking. He stared and stared at every bit of kiyoi, including the uncool parts, the embarrassing parts, the sweet parts, the upset and angry parts, he’s the one that saw it all and never once looked away. The invisible kid made him feel seen. And I think for someone that’s always looked at but never seen, that’s what you really want.

So yes, this may have collapsed into another ramble, but I hope I can just convey some of the sense of how whole of a character kiyoi feels, even just by the points in this ep. And I just love that he’s allowed to be it all, be chaotic and messy and imperfect and a work in progress while still helping hira along too. I’ve never seen a bl couple that feel so much like they’re growing together, figuring themselves out as people and as a couple and it’s just so fucking refreshing and interesting and beautiful to watch and i will never ever shut up about it

#here’s your weekly ‘im so in love with utsukushii kare it’s unreal’ rant #and I call this the kiyoi edition #seriously he’s my favourite character in anything ever #and I would do anything literally anything to see him happy #oh god im down so bad #utsukushii kare #utsukushii kare 2 #my beautiful man #my beautiful man 2

PERCY JACKSON EP 7 SPOILERS ‼️

okay so while watching i just kept a note open and added my thoughts as i watched, and i’ll copy my thoughts here cause why not?

anyway here are my thoughts i had as i watched the episode:

grover using the red toy as a stress ball is so real

ofc the fields would look different from what i imagine but also it’s kinda weird. maybe this is my inner nico di angelo shining but i am a bit irked by the way the underworld looks. not because it’s bad, it’s actually pretty cool ngl, but still that isn’t my underworld that’s not canon in my heart. but also this is the only time ive felt cheated because the show looks different than in my head and idk why. i don’t actually care that much but also at the same time the underworld was probably the most visually detailed places to me while reading pjo and i have such a specific image in my head it’s jarring to see something else. anyway, nothing wrong with the show it’s just me

annabeth you tricky girl throwing the ball to get cerebrus to jump i see you 🤭��🫵

okay at first i was a bit annoyed by the 4 pearls but i see what they did. rick you are a cruel cruel man, making the three choose (ofc percy said he would stay behind and refused to take any arguments)

okay ig ive been pronouncing asphodel wrong this entire time go figure

ANNABETH WHAT ARE YOU REGRETTING BABY NOOOOOO

but omg seriously what could it be, there are several possibilities and some of them are percabeth related. but also what regret does she have that’s so strong the fields of asphodel try to take her while she’s alive hello?? i’m weeping.

GAJDUEJBFBEJE PERCY AND GROVER LEAVING ANNABETH BEHIND IM GONNA CRY KSMFNEJKD

GROVER AND PERCY talking over eachother when they found the bolt is so real. i love their friendship

WHY IS HADES SO CHILL??? dude im imagining the hades in the show talking to surly, angry nico and im rolling on the floor thinking ab it

okay taking (part) of my underworld rant back hade’s palace is fucking cool

OHHH MY GAWWH THE BIG BADDIE WAS NAMED!!! losing my mind w/ percy connecting the dots omgkmgomg

OH MY GOD HE SAID THE THING HIS MOM ALWAYS SAID TO BHUM WAAAAH ☹️

“hold fast, mom” im gonna cry

POSEIDON????

OHH MY GOD DUUUDE IDC ABOUT THE PLOT CHANGE ANYMORE IM SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW THIS ENDS NOW!!!!!

#percy jackson #pjo #annabeth chase #grover underwood #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson show #percabeth #tee hee #foaming at the mouth #actively exploding rn

I miss nature (Love Sea ep 4&5 thoughts)

I was planning on doing a post for each episode, but I was busy. Or maybe I subconsciously don't want to leave the island so I put it off and by the time I sat down to do write a post, a whole week passed. Who knows??????? LMAO

Title. i miss the island setting. which is crazy because i personally am NOT a nature person lol i prefer the city. but this is a drama and it's called LOVE SEA so like.... WHERE'S THE SEA. the only sea we're getting in the bangkok portion of this story is a sea of tears.

shoutout to the candid shots of the island. i thought that was a nice extra touch. also this scene!!! PLEASE someone give fp a royal setting or something. my god

onto the city, WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS FR. FORT IS A TALL BOY HOW ARE YOU GONNA OPEN ANYTHING WITHOUT A LADDER IF YOU'RE NOT AS TALL AS HIM!!!!!!!!!!!

i think the best part of ep 4 is seeing fort in that white tee. the gears in my head r turning at max speed. why does he fill that out so well. jesus.

how much is mook getting paid? she puts up with so much LMAO like the check must be sooo big and her loyalty to rak must be soo solid.

now for the most hurtful part of this ep, rak telling mut he doesn't believe in love and that there will never be anything more than sex between them. peat's line delivery was Good and effective. it stung as the audience just hearing it. and the way mut's face fell and rak's eyes start shifting afterwards?? he himself knew what he said hurt. but mut still wasn't deterred and at this point, i'm sure he has a good grasp on rak's general mindset.

my favorite part of ep 4, the kitchen scene at the end. them teasing each other, mut feeding rak. it was soo soft. and rak's pouty cat stare (sooo cuuute) and peat's legs! we cannot go an ep without em.

pausing between the 2 eps to gush about fortpeat for a second. why do they make domestic scenes look so good. or am i just biased (probably). the puppycat energy is SO strong with these two. i kinda want to see them play characters that are Completely opposite of themselves. i know they'd still eat their roles. it'd just be crazy to think about.

ANYWAYS, ep 5 ↓

the restaurant scene was so real. are we not allowed to call food by their names anymore. must we order a piggly wiggly mega crunch. i truly do get it. and the shopping scene afterwards???

mut telling him he wants to take care of his life. HOW CAN ANYONE WATCHING THIS NOT BE IN LOVE WITH MUT AT THIS POINT!!!!!!!!!

switching to the girls, aya did SO well in this part. the conflict, the hurt. i see it all!!! but how does mook even know if vi doesn't like women! girl believe in it!!

does prin remind anyone of stop from LITA??? like the goofy ass ego and behavior is so similar to me. wym she came all this way just to hurl verbal jabs at her cousin?? HELP. also i KNOW this is like a stand off between rak and prin, but they're both slaying so hard in the visual department. HAIR, MAKEUP, FIT! and for some reason the bgm is going so hard and for why LMAOOOO what is this music!!

and rak puts on a front like prin's words don't matter much to him, but they obviously hurt a LOT from rak's reaction to it afterwards. him telling mut to get out and leave him alone to deal with his emotions by himself!! and then seeing the food mut left for him. someone's caring for him!!! he's not alone!! and the best AND worst part is seeing rak cry into the food. my god. as someone who's been there more than once, that scene hit soo hard.

NOW THAT PART IN THE FITTING ROOM.... MUTRAK ARE SO HORNY YALL that's nawt even a door it's a flimsy curtain!!!!! i'm not mad about them wanting to bang in the fitting room btw.. im mad they got interrupted :( we could've had a whole keep your voice down kinda nc scene with so much kissing and biting smh

fort has said before they had to rework their first kiss scene bc they hadn't kissed in a while. seeing that they filmed the city portion before the island, i feel like this was the first kiss he was talking about? idk someone can correct me if im wrong. i'm simply guessing.

anyways. enough of this rambling. the ending credits of ep 5 is soo cute and my favorite so far. i can't wait for khom next week!! more characters!!!

if you stumbled across this post and read it, thank you for your time!!

#love sea the series #love sea #bl drama ramble

DADDY’S BEST FRIEND, ELVIS PRESLEY

A hot summer day in Memphis was beautiful as ever but nothing could beat the beauty of Graceland for me. Ever since the age of 10 my father whom I happened to be close with was long time friends with the one and only Elvis Presley. All my life friends would beg for autographs, pictures, clothing samples as if I could just ask this man for a kind of thing like that.

Elvis was almost like a second dad to me I suppose.

Maybe not the best wording? Considering i've been drooling over him like every other girl across this world since middle school. Here I am 19 soon to be 20 doing nothing with my life, lusting after a king who probably sees me as a kid who he can spoil all because he has too much money and not enough people he cares to spend it on.

That doesn't even make sense..

My birthday now was coming up on the too soon 30th of June.

My mother never made my life any easier for me. She definitely didn't make it easier for me to accept the party when i was informed that Elvis took it upon himself to host this god awful thing at Graceland.

"Mama we can't just intrude in his home like this and invite all these people from around town as if we even know they're damn names.." I whined following my mother upstairs in our small home.

She sighed and stopped in her steps, "Stop trying to get me to cancel it all because you have a little crush on him. He doesn't mind and it's free, You should be out thanking EP right now instead of crying in my ear." she ends her words with a huff and continues into my little brothers room, dropping a pile of clean clothes for him to fold and put away later.

"I do not have any crush on him, mama." I raise my voice boldly. "How many times am I gonna have to tell you that? The guys like 70.." I add for good measure. It doesn't work.

"You look at him the way your father looks at pie..now will you please leave your ole mom alone."

She teasingly rolls her eyes and walks back downstairs to start on dinner.

"Go see him, Kim. Thank the man for the love of god. He's precious and you know it. He didn't have to do this for you but he seemed more than happy to make your 20th special." She pulls out her apron tying it loosely around her wide hips. "Wear something nice!"

I groan grabbing a hold of my car keys. I couldn't take her determined mindset anymore. I felt like i needed to surround myself in negativity. Why would he want me at his house like that? What would Prescilla think? Im far too old to be having birthday parties at a family friends house, let alone Elvis's.

I soon pull up to his gate driving in without even realizing I was still wearing my bathrobe. Fuck fuck fuck.

"I gotta go back" I whisper shoving my key back in and buckling back in. I begin to let my foot off the brake.

I hear a knock on my glass window and startle with a jump quickly slamming back down on the brake.

"Oh what the actual fuck!" I practically scream grabbing my hair and pulling slightly with overwhelming anxiety.

I contemplate driving off and never coming back home if i can help it but I settle with rolling down my window and laughing nervously for now. Fuck that.

"Woah sweetheart..what're ya doin here at.." Elvis trails off looking down at his watch "4:00 in the evenin'?"

"Ya family alright?" He questions softly. Why'd he have to be so damn sweet?

I slowly look up with the fakest smile I ever did use, "W-what?" I laugh obnoxiously. "No I came here for s-something else..cannot erm..r-r-remember what.." I say leaning forward on my steering wheel groaning in embarrassment.

Why'd he have to look so nice right now in a robe and nothing underneath from what you could tell of his slightly tan chest covered in light hair. Why was I such a whore staring so hard..

"You gonna come in honey or we gonna sit outside n' watch the sunset?" He teases opening your car door.

"N-no uh..I-I can just stay here, right here" I point down into my seat with my fingers. "Just here is fine." I nearly beg out loud.

i rather harshly shut my door back.

He laughs. He laughs at me. Dear god mama why'd she do this shit to me.

"Suit yourself, kid." He drawls out with his thick accent that matter of factly made me squeal at night before bed.

He walks around my car swiftly opening the passenger seat door sitting his fine ass right beside me. I can almost taste the smell of him as he drops into the seat.

"You gonna tell me now what you dropped by for? Or you gonna keep this oddly unlike you demeanor up?" He says with a tinge of tease.

I roll my eyes with a sigh, putting my car into park.

"Im under dressed..it's beyond embarrassing." I push out a fake laugh to ease how nervy I am really.

"Your actin like im lookin'..get to it Kim." he states bluntly.

"Fineeee..goddamn." I stare at my hands in my suddenly cold lap. "I came to say thankyou for wanting to host my "party" but I really can't accept-"

He cuts me off quickly with an unbeatable tone telling me already he wouldn't be taking no for an answer. "Nope. I already have everything done, no need to come beggin me to stop it. Everybody needs a party."

"Please just nothing big..Elvis. Like really.." I glance too quickly down at his wide spread pose and im caught red handed im sure of it. I didn't even have time to truly take in what I felt I could see through his seemingly thin robe.

"Play nice about it and I'll talk to your dad about alcohol" Elvis lets out an almost boyish giggle and I can't help the burning blush that takes over my ugly face.

We chat more for the next 10 minutes about what I'd prefer at my party but he caught on rather quickly I was only trying to turn it into some boring cookout that nobody would stay for.

Before to long I catch his watch set nicely on the arm rest of the seat he was currently in and see I've kept him in my presence too long in a fit of laughs. Not that I was complaining. His perfect teeth.

"Go back inside old man.. Too late for you to be awake." I say jokingly gently shoving him against his door.

He fakes pain and opens the door stepping out and I can't help but bite my lip at the sight of his toned tanned legs but somehow feel a tinge of sadness that I couldn't just yank him back and bone him to no end.

Walking up his porch he turns back to me and waves, "Goodnight honey, I'll stop by tomorrow to see your daddy!" He says with what I hope a joking attitude.

My dad can't know I was ever here on my own dressed like a slut, of course not on purpose. Sigh.

I drive off and head home to eat dinner with my family but all I can do for the rest of my night is think about how truly fucked I'll be at this party.

HI! THIS IS MY FIRST CHAPTER TO THIS HOPEFULLY GOOD STORY LOLS . IM NEW TO THE ELVIS FANDOM AND IM HOPING TO MAKE SOME MOOTS HERE SIGH . IM A LONELY PERSON AND I LIKE TO THINK IM NICE LMFAO! GIVE ME IDEAS FOR MY "BOOK". IM OPEN MINDED AND HAVE NO PLANS YET FOR THIS <3 ENJOY

So yeah, here we go again! I just watched 3rd n 4th eps of hazbin hotel so, again, my thoghts abt it. Idk if i really need to put spoilers warning anymore, but ig ill do it just in case. As with previous post there will be some screenshots.

HAZBIN HOTEL EP 3-4 SPOILERS WARNING!

So tbh i dont have much to say about 3rd ep. Overall it was a really cute ep where everyone kinda got along. Also we met alot of new overlords (that one giant wolf girl was cool as hell) n got a few bop songs. I really like all new voices we got here. Also Velvette was killin in this ep, like slay queen!! Also i didnt know this girl (idk her name srry) was Carmillas (idk if spelled the name correctly--) daughter, that really suprised me.

Ok 4th ep... I have alot to say about it. First of all when that Angels moive started i was like: WTH S GOIN ON WHAT????? Then i thoght that its Angels dream (or nightmare-) n that wolf guy was representation of Valentino. N then when its all started i was like: Oh. I get it.

Speaking about Val, when all that fire started n he opened his wings, that was FUCKING BEAUTIFUL N I REALLY DIDNT EXPECT HIM TO HAVE ACTUAL WINGS, I WAS LIKE: :O I FOR REAL ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST A FUR COAT--- ok n thats literally the only good i can say about Val by now.

That one awful scene with Val n Angel was literally so scary... Ive never been in SA, ive never had such "experience" (and thank GOD for that), but i know that feeling of fear when you just in trap and you cant do anything, i know how that feels to be abused, when you just hiding in corner feeling so fucking scared that you gonna get beated up n yelled again, you KNOW that will happen and you just wait for it in terrify, you literally feel yourself like a little child who cant do anything, you want to share your problems to someone, just wanna cry to someone, but you cant and you need to pretend that everything is okay. I was so scared for Angel in that scene and i really felt it. And the way Angel tried to make Charlie leave before that all happened.. Yes, he definetly knew whats gonna happen n thats so scary...

Anyway OMG VOX HIIII!!!!!! :DDDD

BTW THE FACT THAT HES HOLDING VALS HAND LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO KISS IT----- THIS SHIP IS TAKING OVER MY BRAIN PLS SEND HELP

Yeah, yknow what really strange thing about all that? Is the fact that Val s obviously a horrible person consindering all the things he done to Angel, but he is still an ENJOYABLE CHARACTER. Like- ofc that awful abusive scene was not enjoyable at all, but for some reason i just cant hate him!! I TRY BUT I JUST CANT N THATS SO WEIRD. probably its because i know its not a real person, its just a character but still-

Also (someone pls count how many times i used this word-) i really didnt expect to see an ACTUAL SEX SCENES IN THE SONG. Ig i shouldve expect it n i kinda did, but i still didnt-

Also this little scene made me fucking cry, for real. But not the fact that Angel crying made me cry, but his line: "If i end up broken, I wont be his favourite toy anymore. And maybe he'll let me go.."

I dont know why this exact line made me cry, but it did and i think this is awesome, because they really made me care for Angel, even tho, again, ive never experienced such feelings so i cant relate to that, but i still feel so bad for him.

Ok can we talk about that Husk was AN OVERLORD??? I WAS LIKE: WHAAAAATT????

And OF COURSE that one Husk n Angels song. You already know how i feel about it so im not even gonna talk bout it! SIKE‼️I WILL!!!!! THIS SONG IS SO FRICKIN CUTE, THE FACT THAT HUSK STARTED TO JOKINGLY (or maybe not jokingly-) SAYING THAT ANGEL IS A LOSER TO BRIGHT HIM UP IS ACTUALLY SO SMART! THEYRE BOTH SO CUTE TOGETHER SINGING AND HOLDING HANDS FOR A LITTLE TOO MUCH!!! AND THIS SONG IS MUSICALLY ALSO SO AMAZING, ITS LITERALLY MY STYLE OF SONGS, MAYBE MY NEW FAV SONG I CANT REALLY TELL RN! And the meaning of this song is really good too. Whatever is happening to you, unless youre not alone, everything is better!

Andddd everything is ended quite good and wholesome! They came to the hotel, Charlie apoligized and everything is good!!

soooo yeah! Thats it i guess! Im pretty sure im gonna edit it if i remember something else i wanted to say, but thats it by now!

My review/thoughts on eps 1-2

My review/thoughts on eps 5-6

My review/thoughts on eps 7-8

Gosh i thought i couldnt finish this on time my work was pilling up and pls tell me i wanst the only who cried on S5 EP24 for bnha i forgot why but i remember one cause my dumbass thought abt the whole 1 week after ep23, i rly though ep24 was the last season like come on the animes i watch now adays are freaking only 12 eps, speaking of which im so hyped for kimitsu no yaiba.

Summary:You stood humming in response "i needa go now" you slink your bag in your shoulder facing the door "dont you want to change or something?"

"And why is that so?"

"Well you erm.." he pointed at your boobs wrigerling his brows, you look at the mirror behind you as your eyes widen your sport bra completely socked showing a better view of the shaped boobs, covering your chest you turn around you stared at bakugo angrily "is that why you kept starring ,the fuck is wrong with you?"

"If you want i can offer a ride home"

Chattering, coffee brewing,baby crying the smell of the delicious treats in Starbucks is just 'the buono gesture' "Y-N!" The staff called out your name walking up to the lady that handed you the drink, thanking her as you made your way through the crowded place. Sipping the drink you just got your eyes went wide open as your phone started bombarding you with tweets '#lalisa, lisa…' you smiled widely as your bias from blackpink finally released her solo songs. Thats when you were suddenly pulled by the waist bumping into the buff man "dumbass you got your shit now can we go or do you want to get hit by the bicycle" you looked at the cyclist that rode pass you and bakugo the person could barely be seen, looking back at bakugo your face started to heat up at how close he was to you pushing yourself backwards you spun around to hide your very obvious flustered face "yeah i was waiting for you to lead the way right!" You stumbled over your words a few times as you quickly walked forward "wrong way dumbass, car's that side" bakugo pointed the opposite direction you were going, turning around you speed walk pass him keeping your head low not wanting any more embarrassing things to happen. You watch as bakugo made a final turn into a nice modern mansion like house, you stared in awe at how amazingly how it looks, stunning or whatever you can only describe one word about perfect. "How much money did you stole for this", you heard bakugo scoff at you while reversing in his garage "i didn't steal shit i worked for it", you looked at him pushing one of your eye brow up "Earned?", "I work as a CEO in my mums fashion company" you nod as you watched bakugo turn off his music then his engine, you struggled with the heavy scissor door of bakugo's Lamborghini Aventador only to be helped by bakugo taking your starbucks drink from the cup holder you stepped out of the low build car. Stepping inside the modern house you analyze your surroundings that was literally sparkling into your eyes, "come on i don't have all they for you", "thought you say you were free as a bird today" leaping towards bakugo as he led you to the basement that was specifically made only for workouts. "Wait here ima get changed" you nod placing your sports bag by the side checking yourself out in the mirror, your black sports bra that perfectly cups your breast nicely and the tight leggings that shows off your ass.

"Well shall we?" A loud came from the door leading into the basement, you nod at bakugo taking another sip of your half filled drink, "we'll start by stretching" you watched as bakugo form a position as you mimic him placing your left arm to the right side and your right arm bending then doing the same for the other side, he reached for a 50kg dumbbell demonstrating doing a squat while both his hands held the dumbbell you watched as his arms flexed showing his muscular arm and veins. Your mind ran away thinking of dirty shit about his huge muscular arm, him picking you up so easily or even choking you with those- "oi stop spacing out take it and do the same" you blink the thoughts away taking the 20kg dumbbell from his hand, you spread your legs and lower yourself down carrying the dumbbell in between your thighs, you watch as his hand fell lightly to your inner thigh but not too close to your cunt- yeah… you blushed slightly at the contact with his warm hand on your clothed,"lower your body more you want to stretch this part"bakugo said lightly tapping your thigh, lowering your body you breathed in shakily as you felt the stretch on your thigh coming up abit not wanting to feel the pain. Bakugo sigh pushing you back down with his hands back on your thigh you hiss at the pain not able to go back up as he was too strong, after 20 secs of toture he asked you to bend forward to touch your toes. You felt his eyes wander on your ass he cleared his throat pushing you forward more "ow bastard that's too much" you shouted wingly fingers in the floor "you can take it idiot you need a proper stretch first or you aren't going to learn how to fight" you groan trying to relax you bet your leg is going to get cramp after this, bakugo massage you with his thumb where he place his hand on your back you can feel his cock in between your ass feeling yourself go wild again you tried distracting yourself looking up you see mirror reflecting you and bakugo it was so dang lewd -imagining bakugo humping his cock into your ass roughly both of moaning in pleasure- you slowly look at bakugo realising he was looking back at you he smirk at you, looking back down quickly you felt your pussy throb he isn't a mind reader is? He won't know what you were thinking about just now right?- the warm hands on and the heat in between your legs and bakugos turn cold going back up to your full height you turn around seeing bakugo hooking up the punching bag you slowly walked there with your jelly leg sweat dripping down your neck. "Watch carefully this where all the fun starts" bakugo said smirking at you, he made a few punches while pointing out what to do and not to while punching after a 5 more punches he let you try, forming your position in a fighting style you look at bakugo for approval following his body as he bend down correcting your legs, then moving back up "your hands what did i say about the hands?" You watched his annoyed face feeling guilty at the amount of time he had mentioned about it you look down totally forgetting about what was the correct way to place your hands feeling scared to know what will happen next you apologize quietly, will that even help? Is he going to hit you?, Bakugo watched as your body tensed up a little as your hands kept clenching and unclenching he sighed grabbing your thumb "don't place your thumb inside your fist if you do that you will get your thumb broken in no time" you nod placing your other thumb out of your fist.

You drop to your knees in defeat sweating furiously as catched your breath, bakugo sat in front of you passing you a cup of water your drink long ago finished you chucked it down into your mouth thanking him "didn't know you will be that rusty", "is that supposed to be compliment or insult?" You questioned searching around in your bag for your towel you remember you brought it along or did you not? You groan taking another big sip of the water "an insult i guess" his smirking never leaving you, feeling his eyes not on yours and maybe on your boobs? Probably a boob obsessed person you shrug it off wanting to go home quickly to have a refreshing showing to get rid of this annoying stickiness. You stood humming in response "i needa go now" you slink your bag in your shoulder facing the door "dont you want to change or something?"

"And why is that so?"

"If you want i can offer a ride home"

"In your dreams! Im not letting some pervert mafia man stare at my chest the whole ride" you spit out looking straight in his eyes. Bakugo scoof walking closer to you closing the gap in between you both in no time he grab your chin making you face him both your lips nearly touching each other you gulb still looking at him "pervert mafia man huh what a cruel way to describe me baby" your face flushed red at the nickname feeling his hands ride up your spine making you shiver "i-im no ones baby" you stature pushing bakugo backwards as hard as you can but it was no use, bakugo chuckled teasingly looking at your chest "really? Cause the way you looked at me the second we enter my house says it all"

"Thats just bulshit now fuck off you stupid pervert" you threw punches into his buff chest, no use again he smirked leaning in closer into your neck brushing your smooth hair pulling the tie down as you felt your hair fell to its original form you wince at the pain as he took a hand full of your hair pulling it down, fantasie one checked, he inhaled your scent smiling against your skin you shivered gripping his shirt as you closed your eyes, biting your lips to keep in your moan feeling him breath against your sensitive neck, "so fucking sweet" he growled into your ears "Can you please stop" he sighed stepping back chuckling raising his hands up in defeat, “im..heading home” you stuttered while making your way out of the basement hearing bakugo’s bare foot follow closely to you behind not long after walking up orange stairs feeling like it was like another as your legs still felt jelly from just now. Hearing something jingle you look behind you seeing bakugos hand busy holding a car key most likely the same one for the lambo you sat in just now. “You dont need to drive me home” you said bluntly “huh are you still thinking about what happened back there” you see his lips slowly turn into a smirk “i just need to go to a few places, im running low on food!” you shouted back not wanting him to think of such ideas. “My god chillax im not deaf like i said im free as a bird today so allow me to drive you to the places you need to go just wait in the car for me will ye?”he said handing you the car key, you hesitated abit but allowed him to do so humming in response you took the key from his hand “good girl” by the time you heard that you had closed the door behind you leaving yourself flush red again making your way to the garage you press the button on the wall hearing the garage door open, you press the button on the car key hearing the car roar you cringe at loud revving from the car while you struggled opening the scissors door.

You watch as bakugo easily open the heavy scissors door on th drivers sides tossing a black hoodie to you “i thought this would helpful to cover your chest” you look at the hoodie seeing a white skull in the middle of it putting on the fluffy hoodie you could smell the burnt caramel scent that was on the hoodie you didnt know to describe it, it was nice? Addictive? , it makes you melt in the smell it smelt so familiar where was it from? Where was it from you repeated in your mind remembering the scene back in the basement the smell when bakugo was close up to you his aromatic smell it was him all him. “DUMBASS!?” you jumped slightly giving a huh “fucking finally how long are you going to stare in space before you answer my goddam question” feeling guilty for spacing out you played with the sleeve of his hoodie that you were wearing “sorry you were asking?” he sighed pinching the brick of his nose “where to?”

Grabbing the trolley you worked your way to the shelves not needing to read the signs as you came here countless of times, even the workers recognizes you. Analyzing the vegetables to check for any worms you shake the package to ensure there isnt any moving on to buy meat, yogurt and no way you could forget your best of the best friend that help you out when you still cry over your stupid ex picking up the cold cartton of the ice cream flavoured cookies and cream finally some chips, “you done picking yet?” turning around seeing a angry blonde pushing the trolley “why you getting bored already?”, “nah just hungry” you hum picking up the grapes “oh i remembered that theres a new cafe that just opened a few days ago we can have a small bite there if you want?” “sure but its on you” “what!- ouh whatever lets go im done here.” you guys headed to cashier counter to pay “evening nicole” you greeted the cashier taking out your groceries to put it on the conveyor belt bakugo helping out with the other ones too. “Gahh Y/N youre back from your ‘vacation’ so hows work?” you silently laugh at her exaggeration “same old same old is your throat getting better?” you hear the beeb sound seeing her scan the barcodes on the groceries “yes doc im doing much better that i can literally sing flawlessly again, and woo look who finally found a boyfriend ill be damned blind if i said he wasn't handsome ” you blush a little at the thought about you guys being a couple you were about to respond when you felt a hand on your shoulder “we sure are together right baby” you look up seeing his teasing face you rolled your eyes playing it off you bop his nose “we sure are a cute couple dont yah think” you laughed when a light tint of pink form on his cheeks. “Well at least you finally found someone you are getting old” “ouchh nicole that hurts to hear” you playfully said sliding your credit card on the payment terminal, you grab the plastic bags that has your weeks long of food bakugo helped with the other ones too you waved goodbye to nicole making your way out, back to the car to place your groceries you hear bakugo pop the frunk up placing the groceries in.

“Dammit theres a long queue urgh i guess we need to wait” you said in frustration “like you said dumbass is a new cafe” you look through the sparkling glass window seeing the tables all full, delicious cakes,waffles, and so much more delightful pastries you continue familiarizing the aesthetically build cafe when you were pushed lightly the shoulder thinking it was you tried punching where ever spots you could hit landing a hit on a small stomach “what do you want man-”hearing a girl yelp in pain you turn fully to see who exactly it was, fuck it was the waitress, “wtf is wrong with you!” you could hear bakugo laughing hard at you, giving him a death glare to shut up you turn back to face the waitress you patted her softly to ease the pain and repeatedly apologizing, passersby’s were staring at you, people in queue stared at you too, feeling a little stress out by the way you were having everyones attention you cheered in your mind that the waitress did not took long to recover from your punch “fucking hell Y/N” feeling your eyes went wide you couldnt believe seeing your bestfriend working here “JAS!?! What are you doing here?” you screamed not believing you just coincidentally met your best friend. “Well my pay at the hospital wasnt high enough so i needed more and bam this new place was hiring so you know here i am” you knit your brows “too low” jasmyne glance pass you seeing the line going further than just now “ye ill tell you later got to do mah job now” you grab her apron she was wearing over her work attire stop her in her tracks “can you maybe let us skip the queue?” both her hands flew up pointing her thumb and pointy finger straight in a gun manner she whispered ‘i gotcha yah’ you push bakugo that was using his phone following jasmyne you walked beside her “looks like you got yourself a date, hes so fucking hot girl! I bet he can gives the best fuck probally his length is long~ and wide~” you bumb into her playfully laughing at her horny words as usual, feeling yourself heat up again at the thought of bakugos big fat length railing hard into you, you turn around making sure he couldnt hear what you said nor read your mind. Sitting in the white circle arm rest chair you look in the menu landing your eyes on {favourite dessert and a hot beverage} you closed the book seeing bakugo was done too and had already signalled the waitress. After placing both your orders you check for any notifications glancing to check the time at the same time “who was that?”

“Oh Jasmyne? Shes a colleague my work shes the first to come up to me when i started working at the hospital” bakugo nod in respond not asking any further

The sound of plastics filled the kitchen “right thats all im leaving” you placed the new groceries in their respectively places in the fridge “yep thx bakugo, erm whens our next training?”, “when youre free just text me” the last sound you heard was the door closing your house was quite yet again. You walk into your room placing your sports bag on the floor and started changing into a much comfortable clothes looking at the hoodie bakugo gave you, you inhaled the scent that lingered on it surprise the smell was still so strong throwing on the bed to remind yourself to wash it later on, walking into the bathroom you groan when you saw your towel was placed on the sink “so this where you were, thx you i got to have a goddam close up with that hot head” you garb the make up remover pouring it on the cotton wool and lightly dapping it on your eyes. Plopping down on your soft sofa you grab you heart shaped pillow you turn on you TV switching it netflix, watching the new trendy show ‘squid game’ curious to know what the hype is all about you pressed play while slurping down your cup noodle.

11.43PM

Feeling your eyes get heavy you decide to end it here for the day throwing your cup noodle and disposable chopsticks in the bin you head to your room changing into your silky F/C dress you lay in your bed pulling the covers releasing why it was so hard to pull the covers you grab bakugos hoodie and hug it lazy to stand up and hang it on your door at the same time you were in love with the lingering scent that bakugo left on the hoodie.

Bakugo pushed you back into the mirror kissing you roughly turning your head for him to have more access you felt his hot tongue lick your bottom lips opening your mouth you moaned feeling his wet hot tounge fighting with yours wrapping your arms around his neck you both tounges kept with each others finally bakugo pull away, he chuckled when you followed to move back in for more kisses “jump” you obeyed jumping on him, wrapping your legs around his torso he supported you by holding your butt you giggled abit when you felt him squeeze but it soon turn into pain when you feel him smack your ass like a drum- you wince at the pain “shh baby you're ok right?” you nod into his neck biting it softly you hear him groaned feeling butterflies in your stomach you would literally die to hear him do that sexy ass sound again biting it harder you earned another loud groan and a spank on your ass “-urgh- princess stop that or youre gonna regret that” you look at him giving him a sly smirk “really? How could i ever regret what daddy gives me hmm~” you watched as his eyes widen not expecting that as your answers “you asked for it princess” he laughed at you devilish and throwing you on your bed.

You jolt up feeling like you nearly fell you look around seeing youre still in your room and no sign of bakugo you hugged the hoodie feeling your pussy throb inhaling the strong scent remembering your dream it felt so real everything abt it the way you were in his house in his arms the way he felt the way his tongue felt against yours shaking your head you decide to go back to sleep, realising that your thoughts made you need sexual relief you stood up walking to your cupboard pushing past your perfume,cream and other essential needs you finally felt something round grabbing it you walked back to the edge of your bed sliding down your panties you lay down on your bed placing the vibrator on the side you pushed your nightgown up playing with boobs flicking it for a few times you proceed to caress your sensitive stomach and down to your clit pinching it lightly you sigh in pleasure spreading your legs open you continued rubbing around your hole and clit feeling more satisfied and your hole much wetter you took your vibrator sliding it into you slowly with ease you moan softly holding onto the hoodie turn up the vibrator the switch connected to it with a wire you switch the speed to 2, grabbing bakugos hoodie you inhaled the scent again using the material to caress your body thinking is bakugo touching you, you pushed your nightgown off you and threw it on the floor beside your panties. When a thought hit you with something dirty you grab the hoodie and dressed your pillow with it you sat on the hoodie grinding yourself on the hoodie the friction against it felt so good you rock yourself back and forth shouting and imagining it was bakugo making you feel good "fuck daddy -oh fuck- yes,yes, yes you feel so good so fucking good" you lean foward craving for more of the lingering scent feeling a knot slowling building up in side you rock your self back and forth faster, turning up the speed to max you moan out loud feeling yourself reach your limit you screamed bakugos name cumming on his hoodie you collasped forward hugging the pillow while pulling out the still vibrating vibrator you let yourself steady your breathing feeling your butt hole flutter on nothing but only the cold air your body was still not satisfied it had been so long since you last get to masturbate as your menstruation finally ended 2 days ago standing up you walk back to the cupboard grabbing another toy of yours that was hiding with your essential needs. You placed the dildo on the hoodie low enough for one to imagine it was the persons length. You hover yourself over the 6 inch dildo you hiss at the spread slowly pushing it in your butt hole you moan in pain tightening your grip on the hoodie "fuck daddy you're so big" sliding back up you moan at the pleasure wanting more you bounce yourself on it faster moaning out 'daddy' and 'fuck' feeling it hit your g-spot you moaned positioning yourself quick enough to continue your fast pace to hit that spot again and again "fuck me! -ahh- bakugo im cumming, im cumming!" You moaned loudly into the hoodie cumming yet again on the hoodie, you slowly pushed the dildo out of you moaning softly as it went past your sweet spots you threw the dildo by the bedside feeling yourself getting tired you closed your eyes drowning yourself back to sleep.

so i have a few questions

1)i cannot understand how you ship k*ramel. their relationship was FILLED with toxicity. from mon-el failing over and over again to listen to what kara had to say to him basically telling her to give up being kara danvers. convincing her that "being supergirl and having you is enough” was absolutely horrible. karamel had their moments but overall it was toxic. then in s3 mon el was married and the whole point of season 3 was allowing them to move on. accepting the toxicity from s2 and pushing past that romanticized time. mon el was a better person by 3b but he was still married. even if mon el and imra did break up in the finale there’s no future for karamel. even during 5x13 kara went to ask on advice about lena. and when winn came to visit from the future not a word about him. she’s moved on and it just wouldn’t make sense for kara to end up with him.

2) how can you hate lena so so so much?? it’s been said over and over again that all she’s ever wanted to do is good. though she’s designed to be this morally grey character. she has FLAWS but that’s what makes her so good. she’s a victim of abuse and you can see her struggle with that especially in seasons 4 and 5. in 5 she definitely goes down a questionable path but how can you expect her not too? after being emotionally abused by her brother, betrayed by her family, andrea (this did happen before kara), and then eve. finding out that kara and EVERYONE she loves has betrayed her as well. I mean how could you not go mad?? and even when she “went mad” she was trying to rid humanity of PAIN. something she later realized was a necessary part of life. her hurt blinded her from reality and lex’s manipulation pushed her down further. she’s been hurt and broken so many times and while that’s not an excuse for what she’s done you have no sympathy for her and that I find appalling. lena has realized what she’s done is wrong, that she’s made mistakes, what she did to kara, and she will have to live with that isn’t that punishment enough? she’s apologized and is trying to make up for everything she’s done by saving the world (again). your unnecessary hate towards her infuriates me. cant you take a step back and see the whole picture?

3) why DONT you ship supercorp or accept the queerbaiting? (watch this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C2w2GBXd_Pg) They are the core relationship of the show while the danvers sisters are the heart. they’ve gone through so so much together and practically dated in early season 2. they love each other it’s just oh so apparent. i like to believe one of the reasons lena reacted so strongly in s5 is because she was in love with kara and she couldn’t handle the person she was in love with lying to her. and kara flew around the world to get lena’s favorite food!! if that’s not romantic idk what is. I feel like you’ve developed such a clouded view of supercorp that you need to take a step back and understand what lena is the love of kara’s life.

wow what a long message. im not here to hate. im here to inform & undertand. i get it. karamel had their moments and even MY perception of them might be a little cloudy. im not going to hate you for liking them. hell I even shipped them for a little! my brother thinks 3b mon el and kara would’ve been perfect but he understands that supercorp is just where the show is leading and he wants them to be endgame. but what I will hate is your hate. what’s the point of all this? this thread, this account is going to do NOTHING. so why bother? I debated sending this and I hope I’m not too harsh at times but I really wanna see what you say. I hope you can open your eyes to lena and supercorp. maybe even become a supercorp shipper yourself!

- thanks and supercorp endgame 💙❤️

First of all, if you want to discuss ships in the future send this type of anons to facepalming-since-chernobyl, this blog is not for this, but for gathering receipts.

1.I just ship it, I don’t get why you have to understand it. It’s shipping. But if you insist:

No, it was not filled with toxicity. Count me when he failed to listen to her when they were in a relationship. Secondly, he is not a dog, he has his brain, he is his own person. People don’t always do what others asked them to do. It’s not slavery.

He has NEVER said to her to give up being Kara Danvers. How did he exactly convince her? How can you read the scene that he convinced her that being supergirl and having him is erasing Kara Danvers? In this scene he supports anything SHE WANTS to do. Also, Kara Danvers doesn’t equal Kara being a reporter in CatCo. On that moment she had her blog. She change people’s live with it like a real reporter. She took the risk and met consequences of her actions aka being fired by Snapper. Also, remind me who told her to create a blog? With your logic Lena was erasing Kara Danvers too.

Friendly reminder that he was forced to the marriage to keep peace. Also, friendly reminder Imra and the Legion out him in this situation without telling him about her plans. She and Brainiac put him there, knowing exactly how much he loved Kara and how much she meant to him. Imra knew that, that’s why she asked him to stay and solve his feelings. She said if he had come back, she would have known he had no doubts. But he wanted to stay, that’s why they broke up. He came back because once again he sacrificed himself for the greater good, like a real hero. Maybe watch the Argo eps because they clearly show that no, it was no about moving on.

It was not accepting about so called toxicity. First of all, she already forgave him that he lied. Secondly, all of she was screaming in that scene, when she was infected with M’rynn’s powers, happened before they got together and it was already approached in the musical ep. Aka, this scene had no point.

There is no future for karamel because you say so?

Kara went to asked him, because she truly believed and trusted him and his judgment. And yes, she asked about Lena and what did he said? That Kara deserved the same compassion she gives others, something Lena never gave her. And sorry, I know all scs scream the 100 ep was about sc, but it was about Kara fully realizing she is not responsible for Lena’s horrible choices. That’s it. And friendly reminder she called her a villain in the last scene. Also, the ep showed than no matter what, Lena always ends screwing something, because she has too big ego, always knows better, doesn’t stand criticism and doesn’t trust anyone.

It doesn’t make sense for you. Suit yourself.

2.Her fans made me hate her :) Thanks to them and how they excuse her every horrible action, how they treat her as a victim, while she abuse everyone etc. I started to watch her more carefully. And well, she is a horrible, white, privileged capitalist, who plays god, judge, jury, has mommy issues and acts like typical Luthor while crying she is not one, while still using Luthors money and resources.

Yeah, many people want to make good and end doing evil things. Common people pay for their sins, she has never. Since allowing hostile Daxamite army to invade the Earth (also, her portal affected the other aliens who destroyed the NC), producing a device that could recofnize aliens without their consent (and it was used by Children of Liberty,)producing and lying about Kryptonite, trying to make people superpowered without any supervision, killing Adam during illegal experiment, supporting openly alienphobic president and in a way Agent Liberty, killing Lex and then blaming Kara and finally manipulating Kara for months, lying, gaslighting, yelling, making her steal Lex journal, trying to lobotomize her and tortured with kryptonite, hurting every way possible, physically and mentally. Working with mass murderer, enslaving 3 people (kidnapping Eve, without her consent putting AI into her mind, basically RAPING her brain and making her a puppet in her own body; enslaving end experimenting on Malefic and Russel – threatening to kill him to steal Andrea’s necklace) – none of it are flaws. It was horrible abuse and violating every human right and the fact some people excuse it is disgusting.

First of all, being victim of abuse doesn’t give you the rights to HURT other people. The fact I have to explain pains me. Secondly, what abuse exactly? Lillian didn’t love her? Lex kidnapped her? Said he was going to kill her? You know what? Winn HAD HORRIBLE past and he didn’t turn into a murderer. Mon-El was abused by his mother and never tortured Kara with Kryptonite. J’onn killed a lot of white martians but last time I checked he doesn’t feel good about it. Also, never said the things he has done were GOOD. See a difference?

Yeah, and all of it, still doesn’t give her the rights to torture people. Also, friendly reminder she lied to Supergirl about Kryptonite in s3, much before the whole drama. Remember how she destroyed the life of a girl that stole boyfriend in middle school? It clearly shows she always had THAT in her. Plus, sorry not sorry, if she wanted different life, outside her family she could have easily done that. She was in Star City, with Jack, doing her researches, making her career. And she threw it all away, because she WANTED to be a Luthor.

Plus, sorry not sorry, if you feel betrayed and hurt because your friend didn’t tell you something she didn’t OWE you, you go to therapy, not trying to lobotomize entire planet.

Mate, she wanted to lobotomizer entire humanity, without ANYONE’S consent, because SHE, one single Lena, felt hurt. This is playing a GOD. Nothing explains it.

Planning a cold ass revenge for months is not being blinded by feelings.

Once again, even if could argue about how many times she was broken, most of that was a white privileged life she chose herself but whatever, it still doesn’t excuse her. All of she has done should meet consequences. Paying for shit you have done, accepting it, fully realizing what you have done is a part of redemption. Still in s5 she didn’t even apologize to Kara. Because she still didn’t understand what she has done and doesn’t feel sorry about it.

Feel appalled as much as you want, because I’m not going to feel sorry for a white, privileged woman who has never paid for her actions and is basically a living avatar of the worst Karen you can imagine.

She realized Lex was using her horrible experiments (remember? She experimented on puppies too) to his own agenda, that’s why she went to Kara. That’s not grasping a thing. Mhm, if you call that an apology then suit yourself. She is not saving the world, she is helping once again other people fixing the shit she created.

Feel infuriated as much as you want, because I don’t care? Especially when it comes from a person who tells others to take a step back while being totally narrow minded about Mon-El and karamel.

3.Because actors, prodcuers, writers call SC a female friendship. Mel did that in her last interview. See whatever you want but maybe stop forcing people to ship a horribly abusive ship.

Well… no. Kara is the heart and soul of the Supergirl. Alex is her most important relationship. Lena is an important friend, who doesn’t deserve it yet, but we all know Kara is the Paragon of Hope so of course she is going to forgive her.

I know you people think sc dated because they breathed in one room, but in s2 Kara dated, had sex, kissed, cuddled and enjoyed her time with Mon-El.

Yeah, they love each other as friends. It was said more than once.

That’s your delusion, you are free to do it.

Kara done that to Alex too, so you are saying she is romantically in love with her sister or something? If bringing people food is romantic and damn, most of the people I know loves me, god.

No, lena is not Kara’s love of her life.

Cool, you are not going to hate me because I ship karamel, I’m touched.

Sorry that you are going to be super disappointed in the end of the show I guess.

You will hate my hate – what’s the point of it?

Once again, because I don’t think you understand the point of this blog or read the description – it’s gathering receipts of assholes who cross tag and hate on the actors. Maybe go and search #gross hate or #cast hate on this blog so you can see how amazing your fandom is. Have fun.

I would rather eat my own shit than starting shipping the victim of abuse with her abuser.

Thanks and no :)

Oh, The Lies You Tell - Bakugou Katsuki - pt.8

Bakugou x f!reader

Warnings: angst, trauma, abuse, betrayal, fluff, slice of life, smut, cursing, manipulation, possible spoilers, physical harm, 18+, MANGA SPOILERS

Ep. Warnings: ANGST, cursing, manga spoilers

Summary: it’s time for the battle competition! Or so the students of UA think. Just before the battle starts, a portal opens up and chaos is unleashed. Everything would’ve been fine if Dabi hadn’t exposed the truth.

BAKUGOU’S MASTERLIST

Pt.1 Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.4 Pt.5 Pt.6 Pt.7 Pt.8 Pt.9

After the long drive, a break, mind-blowing sex, and another long drive, UA has finally made it to the battle competition! The students all marveled in their seats as they looked out the bus windows. The buses for all the schools were parked atop a cliff. The area the students would be participating in was below in and it was nothing but forests, valleys, mountains, rivers, and meadows for miles. This was a race and only the best school and best students will win.

“And welcome to the competition UA,” Aizawa tiredly said. The students all cheered as they exited the bus and stepped foot onto the soft grass. They felt the breeze blowing and felt ready to go. “There’s a building down that path, you can change into your costumes there and wait for further instruction. And Y/N, you won’t be able to be with Rumor on this, so I’ll watch him for the time being. See you all soon.”

The students were excited as they quickly scrambled down the path as Rumor went with Aizawa to wherever.

“Man, after all that time we’re finally here!” Kirishima said. “We’re definitely gonna kick some ass the second we step foot in there,”

“No shit, Shitty Hair. These losers don’t stand a chance,” Bakugou said with a malicious grin. They Bakusquad continued to walk and talk as Bakugou kept his arm around you but he once again noticed your unusual silence.

“Hey..princess, tell me what’s up?” He whispered with a concerned voice. You looked up to him as you snapped out of your haze and stared at him with loving eyes.

“I’m fine Suki...just nervous.” You said with a slight laugh to appear okay. Bakugou took your word for it but still held some concern as he felt somewhere in his heart that there was more to the story.

“About what? You’re one of the best fighters here, you don’t gotta worry about anything. You’ll do great out there Princess. Promise.” He said before he kissed your forehead to reassure you. You gave a nervous laugh as you continued to stare off into space. You were scared.

The league would be coming after you sent the coordinates. Your palms were sweaty and your throat felt dry as you got closer and closer to the assembly building. You wanted to cry so bad for so many reasons. You were lost, you didn’t want anybody to be hurt, you didn’t want the truth exposed....you didn’t want to leave UA...and you didn’t want to leave Bakugou.

Time passed and the others spoke of whatever. You wouldn’t know. You were too busy stressing over the villains upcoming arrival. Class 1-A walked in and took notice of all the schools in the building. Infront of the crowd was a stage and a podium. You felt Bakugou’s grip on you tighten and you laughed as you saw he was looking at all the boys staring at you. You loved your jealous little pomeranian.

Students mumbled and talked amongst each other until a man came up to the podium and addressed everyone.

“Hello students! Welcome to the battle competition, Olympus! Today, all you hero trainees will battle against other schools as you all race to the top of the mountain on the other side of the valley. When you reach the top, there will be people awaiting your arrival to bestow upon you the chalice of victory!” The students cheered at the news and got all riled up. They piped down once the man began to speak again.

“Here’s how this will work. Each class from every school will be given a certain location somewhere out in the field. Don’t worry, it’ll all be at an equal difficulty and distance from the finish line so there’s no advantage for anybody. Once you hear the gun go off, you will all run through the wild to get to the top. Maps will be passed out to each of you right now and along with that, a badge that each of you will get that will tell everyone what team/class you’re apart of and it will connect you and your teammates to one team. Now, classes MUST stick together and everyone must arrive at the same time. Along with the obstacles of nature, some of you will fall into certain traps. There are markings placed at random in the field and once a member of the class steps into it, you will wait until another class gets trapped and you shall battle. Winners get to move on and continue the race. The competition will last for 3 days and if you haven’t made it to the finish line by the morning of the 4th, you must remain where you are so that we can find you and track you by your badge. Everybody clear?”

Students cheered once more as a way of agreement and got ready. “Good. All of you will be directed to the changing areas. There’s over 4,000 stalls, gender is separated, and each student will be able to get their own changing area. Put on your hero costumes and head to your class’s assigned location. Good luck to you all.”

Students got rowdy as they all began to leave the room. You and the Bakusquad stayed and talked for a bit before you kissed Bakugou and left to put on your costume.

You got to your own stall and quickly changed. As you finished you looked in the mirror. You, a villain, dressed as a hero. Comical. But yet, you smiled at the new look. You felt that it really suited you. You snapped out of your gaze and went to the earring hidden in your bag.

“Hello? Can anyone hear me?” You whispered softly into the earring. A minute passed before Shigaraki answered.

“Tell me the coordinates.” You bit your lip in hesitation. Was this really what you wanted to do? You held a shaky breath as you spoke

“43.5647 to 12.8499.”

“See you soon.” And just like that, the call was over. You released a deep sigh in regret and anxiety as you gathered your things and walked to the given location. There you met with all your classmates and Bakugou. He welcomed you with open arms as he pulled you in for an embrace.

“Hey Princess. Everyone already discussed a plan so I’ll fill you in on the way,” He said after he pecked your forehead. Oh his sweet kisses. One of the things you’ll dearly miss when you have to go your separate ways.

“Hi....” Bakugou once again held a frown and concerned stare as your unusual behavior kicked back in. He held you tighter as he tilted your head up by your chin and gave you a loving kiss. He pressed his forehead against yours as your head was still tilted towards the sky.

“What’s wrong Y/N?...Please,” he begged. He knew something had been wrong for awhile and now he was desperate for an answer. You held your breath as you stared at him with sad eyes and a fallen jaw. You squeezed your E/C eyes shut as you shook your head to the ground and placed it against his chest.

“Katsuki, I have to tell you somethi-“

*BANG!*

That was it. The sound of the start of the race. Students began running to the forest and you sighed as you realized this was destiny trying to tell you to not go. You shook off your nerves as you looked towards Katsuki.

“It’s okay, you can tell me later. C’mon,” he said as he grabbed your hand and began to run but with the first step that you took, your eyes glowed and you didn’t see Katsuki or the competition anymore. It was bright and white and all you could see was Korra’s angry face as her eyes also glowed.

“TELL HIM THE TRUTH Y/N!” She yelled with the voices of all the other avatars. Your eyes filled with tears as they shut again and you shook your head.

“I can’t! I’m sorry!” You cried out.

“CHOOSE THE RIGHT PATH!”

“I-I can’t! I don’t know what to do anymore!”

“Y/N!”

...

“Y/N!......Y/N!” Bakugou said as he shook you. Out of nowhere your eyes glowed and you froze in your tracks. Bakugou stopped running when he didn’t feel you follow him and when he looked back he did everything he could to snap you out of your avatar state. After a minute you finally settled and your eyes returned back to normal. You fell into his arms as your groaned in exhaustion.

“Katsuki....?” You softly spoke out as he held you against his chest.

“Are you okay?! What’s wrong?!” He frantically asked. The competition completely left his mind as he shifted his everything to you.

“I’m...im fine. It was just..Korra. She..spoke to me.” You explained.

“Are you okay? Do you need to sit?” He offered as he attempted to walk you to a tree stump so you could rest but you stopped him.

“No, no it’s fine Katsuki....we have to do this competition..” you said with stern eyes.

“No Y/N, I think you shoul-“

“Katsuki.” He looked at you and noticed your serious tone and strong grip as you held onto his arms. “Please.”

“.....okay.” And so you both ran to catch up with your class. You strained and shook off your headache as you thought about your past choices. Fear bubbled up inside of you as you looked towards Katsuki. He seemed focused on the task at hand and so you followed. What you didn’t realize was that under his cool, composed cover, he was nervous. He wanted you to be okay, it was all he yearned for but he also wanted to give you whatever you desired so if going through with the stupid race was what you wanted, then your wish is his command.

You both finally caught up with the class and out of nowhere, a trap was sprung. Denki had stepped into a red zone and all of 1-A’s badges glowed as the ground crumbled beneath them and they all fell into some arena in a cavern. The students plopped onto the ground, some on top of each other, as they all coughed from the dust and examined the area.

“You okay Princess?” Bakugou asked.

“I’m fine Suki,” you reassured him.

“What the hell Dunce Face?! Why didn’t you watch where you were going?!” Bakugou screamed at the poor blonde.

“Cool it man,” Bakugou’s best friend had said as he hooked his arms under Bakugou’s to keep him from attacking the electric boy. “Kaminari didn’t know what the traps looked like. None of us did so it’s good that we can identify them now. All we have to do is wait for another class to fall into another trap so we can fight ‘em and win”

“We’re losing time! Now we have to wait for some dumbasses and if nobody shows up, we’re stuck here! Like losers!” Bakugou said as he huffed and plopped on his ass to the ground infront of Y/N as he placed his chin in his hand. Y/N placed her hands on his shoulders to calm him.

“Kirishima is right, there’s hundreds of kids here and nobody who hasn’t sprung a trap knows what they look like. Somebody is bound to fall down here soon,” you reassured your angry boyfriend. Some of the class settled until a few minutes later, a voice spoke up.

“That you are correct, little mouse. Your opponents are here, but it’s not who you’d be expecting.”

Your eyes shot forward as you recognized the voice.

“Oh no...” you whispered and took your hands off of Bakugou as you stood straight. Everyone turned towards you as they watched you tremble.

“Princess, are you okay?” Bakugou asked as he stood up and held your hands.

“She’s fine blondie. She just knows what’s coming like the smart little puppet she is,” Shigaraki said as he stepped out of the shadows. The class shook and stilled at his appearance and got into defensive positions. The rest of the league popped out of the shadows and the class looked in confusion as they spoke on their concerns.

“What they hell are they doing here?!”

“What’s going on?”

“Should we get help?” The class all asked aloud. You shook off your nerves as you took your hands out of Bakugou’s as he looked at you in worry. You clapped your hands as a gust of wind hit everyone to bring their attention onto you. It was silent as everyone watched you speak.

“..Where are the actual opponents? What did you do to the students?” You shakenly asked. Dabi smirked as he walked back into the shadows and then returned before tossing an unconscious body in front of the class. You quickly ran to him and used your water bending to check on his body and health. The water went all around the poor student until you stopped your movements. He’s dead.

“Heh..you should see the rest of the students, little mouse,” Dabi said as he walked to you and gripped your chin in his hands to make you face him. As he smirked at you, an explosion was sent his way but he jumped and dodged it.

“Get your hands off of her!” Bakugou screamed as he ran to you. He brought you back into his arms as you just stared at Dabi.

“It’s not her you should be protecting, hero,” Dabi hinted. You cringed at his words but Bakugou ignored them as he seethed out a question.

“What the hell do you bastards want?!” He asked and Shigaraki was the first to answer his question.

“Take a guess!” He said as he directed the league to attack. Toga was the first to move as she went towards the girls and attempted to sliced at them. Dabi followed as he sent flames to the ground, but Todoroki was quick and put them out with his ice. The two brothers stared at each other, one with a nonchalant determined face and the other with a cocky smirk.

It was here and now. The attack was happening and it was happening to your class right now. All the students sprung into action as they fought villains, multiple students vs single villains. Sadly, the class were the ones struggling. Bakugou fought at Dabi as he pushed Todoroki away.

“Pick someone else IcyHot! I want this Bastard to myself!” The blonde said before he pounced to the fiery villain. Todoroki shifted as he and Midoriya worked at Shigaraki and you stood in pain at all the violence. You heard screams of pain from your classmates and you felt your own heart breaking. Due to your out of zone state, you couldn’t sense the blue flames coming your way until Bakugou screamed your name.

“Y/N! This isn’t the time for your daydreams! Get your head in the game!” He said. Delivery was a little harsh, but necessary. You quickly snapped out of it as you bended Dabi’s flames away.

“Poor little Y/N. Always a burden, always a bother.” Those words rung in your ears as you advanced towards Dabi. As you jumped mid-air, it was like time slowed down as Dabi’s eyes had slanted as he stared you down. “You sure you wanna do that...little mouse?”

His tone, cold, and your eyes widen in fear. The name, the way he spoke. It was the same voice and degrading name he used when he would attack you as a punishment. You quickly stopped your attack and stared infront of him. You looked up at him in fear as he smirked down at you. You may have changed the slightest bit but you were still a submissive little punching bag to the league. As you both held a staring match, one in fear and one in power, Bakugou blasted Dabi away from you. The black haired man groaned in pain as he felt the burn of the explosion and watched from a distance as Bakugou ran to guard you.

“Are you okay, Princess?” He asked you while he still watched Dabi in caution. You nodded your head and gave a “mhm,” as a reply as you both watched Dabi get up. He and Bakugou jumped at each other as they fought. Bakugou threw punch after punch as Dabi dodged each one while he spoke.

“Princess, Huh? *dodge* Never knew you were into villains Katsuki,” Dabi said as he dodged again.

“Shut up! You don’t know shit! That was her past!” Bakugou screamed as he continued to attack.

“Past?! *dodge* HA! You think your little Princess is an ex-con?!” He laughed in Bakugou’s face.

“She did what she had to!” Bakugou screamed once more. He swung again but Dabi caught his fist this time.

“Really? I didn’t know robbing banks, murdering people, and joining the League of Villains counted as survival,” Dabi said in his face. Bakugou face sprouted a confused look as Dabi threw him back.

“What?” Bakugou seethed threw grinded teeth. Your heart began to race as Dabi continued to talk.

“You don’t know Y/N at all Katsuki.” Dabi said as he gave you the side eye and watched your fearful and angry gaze.

“Stop talking Dabi,” you quietly said, however Dabi still heard. Including Bakugou.

“Your precious little Princess is on our side, hero. She’s a villain. And not just any villain. She’s the best of the best when it comes to the girls.” Bakugou shook his head in anger as he ran back to Dabi and threw punch after punch and kick after kick.

“SHUT UP!” He screamed at the villain but Dabi just dodged and continued. Bakugou was so confused and so angered that his emotions took control. His fighting faultered and Dabi had the upper hand as he attacked Bakugou and threw him into a small boulder. Bakugou groaned as he sat exhausted against the rock. He breathed heavily as he watched Dabi walk to Y/N, take her hand, walk closer to Bakugou, and wrap his arm over her shoulder. “GET AWAY FROM HER YOU FUCKING BASTARD!”

“Heh...do you wanna tell him or should I, Princess?” Dabi asked as he mocked the nickname Bakugou gave you. Your eyes teared as your breath became jagged and you looked towards Bakugou. Katsuki noticed how you didn’t remove Dabi’s arm and just stayed silent.

“Y/N?” He whimpered out as he looked at you for some sort of answer. What the hell was Dabi talking about? Grand theft? Murder? Joining the league? He needs an answer. Bakugou watched you swallow down a nervous breath as you hesitantly spoke.

“Katsuki.....I’m Titania....and...I..I’m a part of the League.” You said with a quivering lip. Bakugou’s eyes went wide as he felt his entire world shatter. The girl he fell in love with and gave his entire being to was an undercover villain. He felt tears stinging his eyes as he spoke.

“W-what?” He questioned. Dabi groaned aloud in annoyance as he threw his head back dramatically and continued the talk.

“Your little girlfriend here is a villain. In fact..this whole attack was her plan,” Dabi smirked out. Bakugou watched you as you kept your head down with a shadow casting over your face. An obvious frown adorned your lips. The lips that Bakugou had kissed a thousand times over and they belonged to the most heinous female villain. Bakugou dropped his head down as his eyes stayed open in shock. He felt a panic attack coming onto him as his breaths got heavier and he freaked out.

‘This can’t be true....She loves me! She would never....she could never do this! It’s Y/N! She’s...She can’t be a villain! She would never lie to me like this...’ Bakugou’s thoughts became too much so he screamed as he got up and ran to attack the both of you. He jumped into the air and released an explosion to the both of you but you both had dodged. When Bakugou dropped back to the ground he quickly ran to you and tackled you to the ground. He pinned you down as he hovered over you trying to scan your face for some sort of reasonable answer or explanation.

“Y/N!” He screamed in your face as he shook with tears falling from his ruby eyes. He watched as your lips continued to whimper and the shadow over your face remained. Dabi used his fire to send an attack towards you both and instead of burning you both, it stung as it pushed you both away. The two of you fell down a tunnel. You both held onto each other as you guys tumbled down a tunnel. When you both hit the ground again, you realized you ended up in a cave away from the fighting. Ahead of you was an opening to the outside world. You continued to lay on the ground as Bakugou stayed atop of you as he cried and whimpered into your shoulder. You gently pushed him off of you as you stood and tried to walk to the exit, but before you’d could take a step, Bakugou quickly grabbed onto your wrist.

You looked down at him with sad eyes as you watched him keep his head down as fat tears dropped from his eyes. He stayed on the ground, seated on his knees as he cried.

“Please tell me it isn’t true, Princess..” he whispered. You felt tears invade your own eyes as you squeezed them shut. You both stayed like that for awhile as you released silent tears.

“I’m sorry,” you whispered as you tried to help Bakugou stand but once he got to his feet he gripped your shoulders.

“Tell me everything! ...NOW!” He screamed with his eyes open and full of tears. You stared at him with an apologetic face as you shook your head.

“We have to go Katsuki, we have to get help.” Bakugou shook his head ‘no’ but allowed you to drag him out of the cave and into the opening. It was getting late and the evening had already started as the blue sky darkened a bit. You stomped your foot into the ground to use your earth bending to figure out exactly where you both were. Once you felt the vibrations, you realized you were too far to even locate the others or even the competition grounds. You guys were lost.

“We’re too far away from everything Katsuki. We should look around a bit and see if we can find our way back.” Bakugou held onto your wrist before you walked again.

“You owe me an explanation when all of this is over, Y/N.” He quietly said with a sad tone.

“...I owe you a lot more than that Katsuki. But I will be giving you an explanation...and with how far we are away from everyone, I might have time to give it to you sooner than you think.” You explained. You and Bakugou walked on with heavy hearts but the both of you both had the exact same question ringing in your minds.

‘What are we now?’

—

You both walked for miles and yet you still got nowhere. Everytime you stopped and checked to see where you guys were, it felt like you guys just got farther away from everyone. You silently begged for Rumor to just find you and regretted not having him just shrink down to a mouse to carry around.

Bakugou trailed behind you. His crying had gone on for some time but eventually stopped, however when it did, his sadness was replaced with anger. He was pissed. He doesn’t know where he was, what he’s doing, what’s going on, and he doesn’t even know who he’s with right now. He’s basically with a stranger at the moment.

Eventually, it grew dark and the sun had set while the moon had began to rise. While you continued to look for a way back, Bakugou was aware of his surroundings and stopped you by grabbing onto your arm.

“Stop walking, moron. Can’t you see it’s dark?” He said as he looked at you with a bored expression. You turned back and scoffed at him in disbelief.

“We’re lost. We have no idea where we are and have no idea how to get back. If we stop now, we’ll lose time and it’ll take forever to get back. And who knows what’s happening now to our classmates?!” You exclaimed. Bakugou shook his head at you when you finished.

“They’re my classmates. Not yours,” truthfully, saying that broke him a bit, but he had to continue, “and if we keep going, we’ll die out here in the wild. We should find a safe place to sleep for the night and find some fire wood to keep warm. Maybe get some food to fight off hunger.”

“We’ll be fine if we keep going. I’ve survived the streets before, we’ll be okay.” You said and attempted to walk again but Bakugou held you back.

“Well this isn’t the streets Y/N. There isn’t a store full of food we can rob when we’re hungry and there isn’t an overhead tunnel at every turn that we can sleep in. This is a forest. So just shut up and listen to me.” He said, his grip on your arm slightly getting tighter. You winced the tiniest bit and Bakugou saw as he quickly took his hand off your arm. He cringed at his action but shook off the bad thoughts. “C’mon, let’s go. We gotta find some shelter.”

You thought about it for a bit and realized he was right. This wasn’t the city. You sighed and bit the inside of your cheek before answering. “Okay.”

As you silently trailed behind Bakugou, you realized you just followed him blindly. It was like he read your mind when he spoke again. “I saw a cave awhile back. We’ll camp out there. Along the way let’s just collect some firewood whenever we see some.”

You followed his orders and by the time you guys made it to the cave, you were all set to sleep. You collected wood for a fire and even leaf piles to sleep on. As you both entered the cave, Bakugou set up your sleeping area and you started the fire with your bending. Once you were done you took a seat infront of the fire and just stared at the bright flame. Here you were in a cave with your....well now you were back to where you started with him. You didn’t know what you two were anymore.

Bakugou finished with the leaves and when he turned around, he saw you sitting on the ground with a blank look. He looked at you with sad eyes and a broken heart before he sighed and sat in-front of you on the other side of the fire. You looked towards him in confusion as to why he sat but then it came to you.

“Talk.” He said as he looked towards you. You stared at him and saw he was working to build up his walls again as if he was preparing himself for disappointment. He was smart for doing so though because disappointment was exactly what he would be feeling. That and probably some severe heartache. You pressed your lips together with a sad look on your face as you came to the conclusion that there was no avoiding the truth now.

“....I’m not who you think I am.” You said and it was like the air thickened as you watched how his jaw clenched and his eyes teared behind his mask.

“My name is Y/N L/N, I’m 16....and I’m a member of the League of Villains,” Bakugou’s breath stilled as he heard the words leave your mouth. He already heard it once but hearing it now as confirmation hurt.

“The story I told you when we were in the kitchen that night was all true. I just left out some details and kind of switched the story around. The place I was born in was a hidden village. The people there had the abilities to control the 4 elements. My parents had me but were killed by the cult I mentioned before. They took my people in so they could use their abilities to create the weapons, but me being so young, I had no idea how to control them. Eventually, I discovered I was the one who could bend all 4 elements instead of just one....I discovered I was the avatar.” You breathed out.

“The avatar?” Bakugou scoffed, “the bridge between the spirit world and physical world? The person destined to bring peace to the world? That’s nothing but a legend.”

“Wellll then I guess I’m a legend so thank you for that compliment.” You said and Bakugou stared at you in shock. He was sitting with the actual avatar. “Blah blah blah, trained with a master, blah blah blah, and that’s when the league found me. They saw my abilities and took me in. But you don’t get to live in the league’s hideout once you join. You work your way up the food chain and so I had to live on the streets and do their dirty work to prove myself. I did it for survival, but in the end, being a villain was all I knew. So I stuck to it. I officially became a member and I eventually became Titania, the best female villain alive.”

“....Why did you come to UA?” He asked.

“I didn’t want to. I came for a job. Aizawa and I were fighting when he took me away while I was injured and offered to take me in and put me in school. Said he saw good in me....obviously he was wrong considering the only thing that triggered me to go was the fact that there was an opportunity to take down UA and prove myself to the league.” You explained. You noticed Bakugou kept quiet and bit his lip as he seemed to have shook a little before asking the next question.

“...What about me? What part did I play in this fucking game you got going on?” He asked. You didn’t look at him the entire time. You kept your eyes on the fire and held a nonchalant face the entire time.

“You were the only part of my UA life that was genuine. I didn’t come here looking for a relationship and I didn’t need a relationship to take down UA.....but then you came into my life. You showed up and something about you...just made sense to me. And it gave me a comforting feeling I never got to experience before. You gave me a break from my chaotic life and it was the refresher I needed.” Bakugou blushed at your confession but still felt sorrow. Your feelings for him were true but that doesn’t change the fact that you lied to him and never told him who you truly were. You were also a villain while he was a hero trainee. This relationship was wrong. He dropped his head as tears began to pool at his eyes.

“.....I still love you, Princess.” He confessed.

“I know...and I still love you Suki..”

“........WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LIE?!” He screamed as he stood up. “YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT WHO YOU WERE!”

“I did a lot of things but I have never lied to you about who I was or what I felt towards you,” you calmly said to his loud proclaims.

“BUT YOU DIDNT TELL ME THE TRUTH EITHER Y/N! ....You didn’t tell me anything. You left me in the dark. You made me fall in love with you...and now I don’t know what to do...” he sobbed out. “You’re a villain...my dream is to be the number one hero...but I love you...but it’s wrong for me to not put you behind bars.”

You just looked at him with a straight face but it was clear you were hurting as well. But you still continued to let him take his frustrations out on you.

“I’m sorry Katsuki..”

“SORRY ISNT GONNA FIX ME Y/N! SORRY ISNT GONNA MAKE ME STOP LOVING YOU! SORRY ISNT GONNA STOP ME FROM BEING ANY LESS CONFUSED!”

A silence fell over the two of you. Bakugou was so hurt and it was all your fault. He didn’t deserve this. None of them did. And yet you still followed through with this horrible plan. You knew what had to be done.

“Let’s just get some rest..we should start our search for home again in the morning,” you said as you got up and walked over to the sleeping area. But this only triggered Bakugou even more.

“Rest?! REST?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME Y/N?! YOU’RE JUST GONNA DROP THE CONVERSATION LIKE THIS ISNT FUCKING IMPORTANT?!,” he said with tears in his eyes as he stood and screamed at you.

“YES! THIS ISNT FUCKING IMPORTANT! IF IT ISNT OBVIOUS, WE’RE DONE. OVER. SO LETS JUST FORGET ABOUT THIS AND FOCUS ON FINDING OUR WAY HOME!” You screamed back. The cave grew empty as silence filled the air. Bakugou felt his heart die in his chest. He loved you, even though you were a villain he still loved you. He didn’t want this to be over..but you? You were really willing to drop this relationship? Just like that?

“So..that’s it? You’re not even gonna try for us anymore? You’re not even gonna fight for us to be together?” He asked with tears in his eyes.

“......there is no more ‘us’ anymore, Bakugou.”

The Freedom of Expression Ep 53 - Trying the pot shaped Baumkuchen

K: Hi, this is Dir en grey's Kaoru with this week's episode of The Freedom of Expression. Joe san, Tasai san, welcome.

T: This..*looks at large box on desk*

K: There's an impressive presence here. I feel a bit squshed.

J: Absolutely!

K: What do you think this is?

T: What is it?

J: This is...what is it? It has a red ribbon on it.

K: Yeh, just seeing this, its like....

T: Like a christmas present, with a wooden box.

J: Is the box made of wood?

K: Well, do you remember that story we did before... the antiques in the showcase, that you had to look twice to see what they really were?

J: Oh yes, that story! We did that a while ago.

T: The Baumkuchen?

J: The Baumkuchen! There's no Baumkuchen in Nishinari! That one.

K: Yep, its the pot type.

J: The pot. Its here!

T: The price is quite high, right?

K: I think so.

J: Ehh, where was this place again?

T: Was it Sakura Shinmachi?

J: Sakura Shinmachi? Oh yes, Sakura Shinmachi.

K: 'Baumkuchen Villon'

J: Villon san! We're doing this now?

K: Lets open it up and have a look, then we can eat it.

J: Yes please, I love sweet stuff!

K: You do, don't you?

J: Yes.

K: Can I open this?

T: There are some wet tissues here.

K: Ah, I'll use one of those.

J: Yes, disinfect first. If this didn't have a red ribbon on it, I would have thought Kam was dead or something. Just at a glance, haha.

Kami: Kami is dead? Its cause I'm a Nishinari god. I don't recognize Baumkuchen.

J: Yeah

T: ???*1

J: Can Kami see us, he probably can't from up there?

Kami: I can see you.

K: Im gonna open it.

J: Yehy. Im so happy. I really am! This is the real deal!

K: Wow, amazing! I can't tilt it to show you, but there's something written on here.

J: Oh, there is...Baumkuchen. Ah, this is so exciting. I remember from the news story that there were various types, but this is massive.

*Kaoru lifts lid off box*

T, J: Oh!

Kami: You're good at opening it.

T: Good at opening it, haha. He's watching. Ah! I can smell it!

K: *Looking in box* Oh!...I can't see it yet.

J, T: Ahhh, haha.

J: Of course.

*K picks card out of box*

J: Ah, the shop's name is written on it. Western confectionary, Villon.

K: I can kind of see it a bit now.

J: Can you? How are you gonna get it out? Is pulling it out the only way?

K: Hm, like this? *pulls on inner plastic*

T: Hahaha

J: I'll support the box. I'll put my hand here.

K: I'll get rid of all this cushioning first.

T: Hand the rubbish over to me.

J: I'll support the box. If this goes wrong Im gonna scream....Are you gonna pull it out?

K: I guess so.

J: Right, cause theres no place to break the box apart. You'll have to pull it up. Get ready to see Kaoru pulling up this Baumkuchen, everyone.

K: Is this ok?

J: There's no other way to do it.

K: Isn't it written on the card how to open it?

T: You must have to pull it out.

J: Yeah.

Kami: Its like, however you look at it, its a Baumkuchen where you can only see the ribbon.

J: Yeah. Does it say how to get it out of the box?

K: No...

J: You sound like you might cry, haha.

K: It doesn't say.

J: You're just gonna have to pull it out.

T: Lets do it.

*K pulls cake out of box*

T, J: Woah!

Kami: Woah!

J: Incredible! This is totally amazing! What is this..?

Kami: Amazing!

J: Awesome! Its massive! How many portions is it??

Kami: Is this Baumkuchen?

J: Yes, it is. Well, the most important thing is the taste, right? How do you cut it?

T: I wanna look at it a bit longer.

K: I'll open the plastic.

J: Yes, lets do that first. Lets get everything off it.

K: Its pretty difficult to get this off.

J: Yeah, how do you get it off without breaking the cake?

K: Right...without breaking it..

J: Kaoru, use your dexterity.

K: Nah, its gonna break.

*K tears plastic*

J, T: Ohhh

T: Ah, but...

K: Ah, its working *continues tearing*

T: Oh, but I still can't tell....Oh, like that?

J: Yeah, that works.

K: Like, there is a platform at the bottom, but its kind of off centre.

J: Oh yes, its facing this way, its not centered.

T: This looks exactly like a pot, from the side.

J: If it was in a shop window, you'd think it was a pot. Even at home, you'd think it was a pot. It looks like one from any angle. This store makes regular sweets too, right?

K: Yeah, I think so, its not just this.

Kami: How do they make it?

J: Yeah, Im just having a look in the leaflet, but it doesn't say how they make it. I don't think it said in the article before either....Ah! Its open! It says they use special eggs to make it though.

Kami: Ah, it looks great.

J: Ah, it does look great. Can I take a photo?

T: Here it is!

K: Its really difficult to move it though. Can.I just leave it on here?

J: Yeah. Thats the safest way to do it.

K: It seems a waste to cut it.

J: Yeah, ???*2

K: It seems a waste.

J: How exactly are you gonna cut it though?

K: Hm, how should I?

T: This will show your personality.

K: Should we try to cut it in the most interesting way we can?

J: Ah, yeah, for the show.

K: It wouldn't be that interesting to just cut the top off, would it?

J: Right.

T: How about straight down from the top?

K: Ah, like this? Then we can see the layers on the inside.

T: Yeh yeh, I wanna see that.

J: Yeh, almost like disecting the cake.

K: Lets do that.

J: Ok, lets do it.

K: Can I get the knife?

T: You're gonna do it?

K: Here we go....There are people recording this on their phones *points to off camera*.

T: Yeah, I will too *gets phone out*

J: Just in case.

K: *cutting* Ah, its cutting easily. *To Tasai recording* Yeah, the viewers can't see this bit, so send over what you recorded later....Hang on a sec.

J: What is it? Did it get harder?

K: This part is more dense. Can you pass me a tissue?

J: Do you have to support the top?

T: Do we have any tissues that aren't wet tissues?

K: Ok, I'll use this fork.

J: I wonder why people order this type of thing? Do they use it for parties, or something?

*Kaoru making the second cut *

J: Ahh, how is this gonna turn out?!

K: Yeah, I wonder how this is gonna work.

J: Is it just gonna break apart after you finish cutting?....Oh, amazing!

K: Can you put a plate here? What should I do next?

J: Ah, the piece is already falling out!

T: I'll give you another plate.

K: Ah, this is really difficult! ...Should I like... *motions cutting it in half horizontally* ..I'm just gonna have to grab it with my hand.

J: Yeah, you'll have to. You did clean your hands before.

*K pulls out piece*

J: Ohh, amazing!

K: Ok, I'll put the knife here.

J: Wow, the top section is trembling. Look at the inside. Should we move the rest out of the way?

K: Hm, what should we do? I'll turn it round so everyone can see.

J: It looks so nice cut open.

T: Ahh, great.

Kami: You are good at cutting.

J: Kami said you're good at this.

K: Good at what?

J: He said you're good at cutting. He's complimenting you. Ok, should we try eating it.

K: I'll cut the bits that my hands havn't touched, and then we can eat those bits.

J: Ahh, Im looking forward to this. It looks delicious.

K: I'll just put this here.

J: How many portions is a regular Baumkuchen?

K: Yeh.

J: Which is the best bit? I get the feeling the end section might be good.

K: I don't know really.

J: Ah, is that bit crispy? Its like we're filming a regular ???*

T: ???*3

Kami: Where was the shop again?

J: Sakura Shinmachi.

T: Yeah, Villon in Sakura Shinmachi.

J: Ah, it looks delicious. Thats the thing, its made to look like a pot, but Baumkuchen is also usually really delicious. It says here they use really fresh eggs. As to why it has such a deep flavour, its because they use fresh eggs. Eggs from chickens fed a specific diet.

T: Ehh. By the way, how much did this cost again?

*K hands piece to J*

J: Oh, thank you! Ok, should we try it? This looks so good! Isn't it really yellow?

T: Oh, yeah.

J: Ah, it smells good.

T: Which part is this piece from?

K: I don't know.

T: I wanna make it into a puzzle, like fit the pieces back in, haha.

J:*takes fork* Ok lets eat! Sorry Kami, you can only watch.

Kami: Its nice for you.

J: Kami is this the first time you've seen people eating Baumkuchen?

Kami: Yeah. But I've got alcohol.

T: Im gonna try the outside 'pot' bit.

*everyone eating*

J: Mm

K: It tastes good.

J: Mmm.

T: The outside bit smells good.

J: You could just go on and on eating this.

T: Yeah.

J: The shape is unique, but the taste is like a really simple Baumkuchen, its delicious.

Kami: Is it sweet?

T: Its really good, Kami.

*K passes pieces from the neck of the pot out*

J: Ah, from the neck.

T: Its from up here, right?

J: Yeah. Ah, this bit from the top tastes really good. How to describe it..?

K: Its a bit like bread.

J: Yeah, its a lot like bread. Its Baumkuchen, but the top but is closer to bread.

T: Yeah, its well cooked.

J: Its so nice.

K: Its impossible to finish this.

J: Yeah, its impossible between four people.

T: It probably serves about ten people.

J: We are living in times where we can't have parties and stuff..but when we can again, then...

K: Well, you could have it at home, share it with your grandma and grandad.

J: Oh, yeah, that would be good. Ahh, this is great.

T: Its pretty interesting.

K: So this would originally be like a tall cylinder shape..they've probably just shaved some of it off here to make this shape, right?

J: I guess so.

T: I wonder...

J: How did they?

K: Or did they like brush it on?

T: Well, maybe they put a lot thin layers on this bit and put it on more thickly on the other bit.

K: But ???4 *points to horizontal surface of pot*

J: Oh yes, thats right.

T: Joe san!

J: Ha, I don't know.

K: Don't you think it was originally the same thickness all the way up, then shaped down?

T: Well, yeah, you can see that bit, its cooked like that.

J: Yeah, cause Baumkuchen is made on a long bar, and usually sliced up. But if they shaved it into shape while it was still on the bar..

K: Yeah, like when you make pottery, shave it down while turning the bar around. Thats what it seems like to me.

T: ???*5

J: Yeah, its baked.

K: Yeh, its like that at the top too.

T: Oh, ok.

K: Hahaha

J: You agree now, right. Well, if the store staff who made this are watching, please write in the comments how its made.

*On screen note with close up of cake: They emphasized this idea, but it appears to be totally wrong*

T: Its nice, isn't it?

J: Yes, I enjoyed it. Thank you.

K: This was a very 'youtube' type idea.

J: Yeah, but this was the biggest expense of the show so far.

T: Hahaha

J: So please give us some views everyone, haha.

T: Yeah.

K: Ok, lets finish here this week.

J: Thanks for the meal!

K: It was delicious.

J: It was.

K: Thank you very much.

Kami: I didn't eat annny!

danny phantom, season 3 episodes 3-6 thoughts!

see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3

-johnny was actually pretty civil with danny and left when he asked! thats nice. also, SKULKER?? HAD A FRAMED PICTURE OF EMBER?? oooo fuck wait had they established they were a Thing Before?? I dont think so. thats weird. its like that country boy/goth girl meme lmfao. I think i am going to choose to ignore this new info and pretend I didnt hear it. 100% unrelated to the jazz/ember fanart I already drew and posted....😳

-LADIES NIGHT EPISODE THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. wish it didnt really center around the guys or them being pissed at them, but. willing to bet this was written by men lol

-THEY ERASED ALL THE MEN??? meanwhile, jack and danny are fishing at. silent hill or something. im glad jack is trying to read a parenting book and making an Attempt. (theyre at lake erie, but, they made it actually eerie...thats fun)

-the girls alt outfits...cute. EMBER MADE A NEW SONG TOO!!! kinda. jazz being one of the backup singers and being AWFUL. NOOOO

-'how are we going to get kitty to blow a kiss?' 'she'll have to think there are still some males in town!' ...i dont know how to break it to you, but I dont know that a 100% het girl would wish for all men to Begone. I think. I mean im not a het or a girl so I dont really know for sure. she Is probably Bi tho. esp having the other ladies in town chanting NO MEN!!! excitedly............(then again, the kiss is to get Rid of men, so, she probably would have blown it at the ladies only if they were actively trying to attack/stop them, so...I MEAN. THE DRESSING LIKE DANNY BIT WAS SO EXTRA)

-I feel like an all female cast ep couldve been way way way way cooler than that was. like. why was it still somehow all about Men. ...anyway. (where was valerie...)

-next ep opens with the observants, and, way way more of them than I expected...existed? I mean I guess them being a council/jury of some kind is what I expected from their first appearance (bc at that time they were basically TELLING clockwork to kill danny, not asking,, so I figured they had SOME kind of authority) but. there were so many. anyway, here goes vlad! letting his own hubris go brrrr. releasing a weather ghost for political gain! #justvladthings

-okay say what you will about him (he IS an asshole) but having an umbrella with his own face on it and more prepared to share is SUPER FUNNY. and him being fanned by huge wads of money by his bodyguards. SO ineffective but so Dramatic. He UNDERSTANDS that if youre rich you need to be. you know. obnoxious and kinda eccentric about it! fuckign hate when rich people are boring about it. I would trust vlad with nothing except to not be a boring rich asshole who wears...fucking khaki or some shit. man knows his Presentation Skills. and that 'V' chair in his mayoral office. is that fucking embroidered?

-maddie get your MAN PLEEEEASSSE. IM SO EMBARRASSED FOR HER. the way jack stays simping for this man. in FRONT OF HIS WIFE!!!! ...my god its like a love triangle. jack clearly loves vlad, who loves maddie, who loves jack. jack fenton is at the very least bi, right................. this is an OBSESSION . 'THE V MAN COMETH'???? i...my god. (also, on a serious note, to have a friend THIS SUPPORTIVE...and still be SUCH A DICK TO HIM (TRYING TO KILL HIM AND STEAL HIS WIFE??) NOT COOL VLAD. JACK IS YOUR 1 AND /ONLY/ HYPE MAN. if someone loved and supported me THIS HARD...LIKE. CMON DUDE.

-STOMP the fucking GAS, JACK

-this would make a great shirt design, looks like a metal band design! we love The Maelstrom

-oh, so vlad did in fact get a mansion in amity park. and its purple! good color choice! not as flashy as a CASTLE or MURDER CABIN, but still pretty eccentric, which I appreciate.

-...vlad knows the difference between picasso and da vinci? in the ep last post where we were watching him fail at conquering every historical time ever he didnt seem to know history well enough to like. be effective...was vlad taking art history at college?? (was he an art MAJOR??? we never DID KNOW WHAT HE WENT TO SCHOOL FOR. I kinda assumed business because in the masters of time ep he was still rich without ghost powers so he had to have..known something about business or something, right...but also, art and or theater FITS HIS PERSONALITY. possibly also something science-y, I guess, but I always felt like he got roped into that, esp how pessimistic he was about the ghost portal in the flashbacks to college, like, i felt like he was just there for maddie and was uninterested/un-invested at the time...)

-THIS GHOST JUST ELECTROCUTED MADDIE (THE CAT) BITCH!! THATS MY FAVORITE MADDIE!!! vlad going after vortex and being ~shocked~ .....WHEN. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN. THAT YOUR ACTIONS. HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!

-the way this random man with a camera sees the mayor laying in an alley covered in TRASH AND DECIDES TO TAKE A PICTURE HAHAH

*snap* this ones going in my cringe compilation!

-vlad 'if we're going to defeat vortex, we're going to have to do it together!' *immediately dips after dropping danny off in front of vortex* JKASDFHKJHJKN

-DANNY CAN DUPLICATE!!! ...he couldnt even attack with it, but he DID IT!!! INTO (4) OF HIMSELF!!! SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!

-'THE ROLLER COASTER EMOTIONS OF A TEENAGER THREATEN MY PLANS!' ...0 self awareness of his own dramatic moodiness. incredible, how dumb this man is. its very close to circling around to endearing, if he was less of an asshole. at least its very very funny to see danny shooting him with tiny lightning bolts anytime he's even slightly irritated! vlad you should be nice to danny anyway. this is what you GET

-...making sandwiches and ice cream and playing video games with your nephew is a totally normal thing. WHY is vlad acting like this is the end of the world. if you were a GOOD UNCLE YOU WOULD ALREADY BE DOING THESE THINGS!!! bitch I make my nephew food all the time and dont forget what he does and doesnt like. if u didnt know danny didnt want tomatoes, thats on u. if u, a grown adult, are gonna piss of the 14 yr old by not letting him win, u deserve to have to pay for the arcade machines he ruins because he now has uncontrollable storm powers because YOU THREW HIM INTO A FIGHT WITH THE STORM GHOST. fuck u vlad. paypal me $400,000 while ur at it tho. (also, gamer vlad confirmed)

-VLAD CAN COOK THOUGH???! I assumed he had...people working for him that did that. I mean. billionaires usually dont do that. then again, we've only seen those vultures working for him (and I guess the dairy king was AT his old mansion, but it was never really clarified if he worked there...I think he probably just Hung Out and they Enjoyed Cheeses Together. thats what I think, I dont think a KING would be working for anyone and also the dairy king was nice <3) but then again he would be a private person and we cant have anyone accidentally finding Ghostly Things, so...still, that's hilarious. pour one out for that really cute banana split that got ruined 2 seconds later

-vlad just fucking picking danny up and THROWING HIM AT VORTEX TWICE WITHIN LIKE A MINUTE. JUST ABSOLUTELY LAUNCHING HIM. BITCH THATS MY SON BE CAREFUL!!! HES GOT ORGANS AND THINGS!!!!

-danny seeing those animal commercials and feeling sad is the biggest 2000s throwback so far. i legitimately had to change the channel or walk out of the room when those came on bc id CRY AND BE SAD ABOUT THEM FOR DAYS AFTER. fuck those commercials and fuck that IN THE ARMMMS OF AN ANGELLLL song 😭

-'vlads ego almost got the town destroyed!' yes danny thats the entire episode. the entire series anytime vlad shows up honestly. this episode was just him being really embarrassing the entire time, and, me laughing about it. 10/10 would laugh at him again

-NEXT EP WE HAVE A SHAPESHIFTING GHOST?? I've said it before but shapeshifting is the power I would want when asked those 'what superpower do you want' questions...its the Best power! this guy looks like a homestuck character. ive never read homestuck but thats the vibe

-I love every time we see tuckers family, they are by far the most functional family. and dash has a lil chihuahua!!! named pookie!!! i am crying (I've had 3 chihuahuas, so I am very biased, but...) AND HE WATCHES THE ROMANCE CHANNEL WITH POOKIE. POOKIE I WILL DIE FOR YOU YOU SWEET LITTLE BABY.

-danny can lift a bus! I shouldn't be surprised, but i am proud of my son. hes got lil kid fans. i am going to cry about this

-JAZZ KEEPS A SCRAPBOOK WITH DANNY'S LIL HEROICS AND NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS!!! we've actually seen it on her floor before, but I didnt realize it was a scrapbook!! thats sooo cute.

-...and danny has to stand there listening to his parents saying danny phantom sucks and is a 'filthy ghost' and calling him egotistical...i am once again stealing their kids!

-THIS GHOST RIPPING JAZZ'S SCRAPBOOK!!! ILL KILL YOU. SHE WORKED HARD ON THAT!!! BITCH

-yes, maddie, the one with red eyes is For Sure Actually Your Son. ignore the, red eyes... (CLEARLY she hasnt watched the other 2 eps where danny has been evil, she doesnt know red eyes= evil!!!)

-'billy fenton'.......................

-danny being stuck as phantom in his own house, no way out is a fucking NIGHTMARE. his parents pointing giant weapons against him and SHOOTING AT HIM. THIS IS A HORROR MOVIE.

-NINE INCH NAILS POSTER.

-this is the most screenshot of all time

-amorpho turning into mr. lancer because hes 'someone no one will want to be around' BUT HES WRONG, I WOULD BEFRIEND AND HANG OUT WITH MR LANCER SO FAST.

-tucker dressing as danny, now I have the full Tucker set of him being sam and also being danny. also saying 'the ghost...uh...RIPPED MY FACE OFF.' and then running. SMOOTH. NOT AT ALL CONCERNING TO ANY PARENTS.

-sam accepts the toast from jack. and then 2 seconds later is like 'why am i eating this.' THIS SHOWS HUMOR IS SO UNEXPECTED SOMETIMES ITS REALLY GOOD. and then the scene after, mr lancer running into his ghost doppelganger and being like 'YOURE GORGOUS' THEN FAINTING. I AM CRYING. AND DASH FAINTING TOO.

-sam disguising herself as danny again to help tucker run from the fentons. but leaving him shirtless in the streets. incredible. 'plEASE DOnt NOTice MY FACELessNESS I MUST LIVE IN EXILE' this episode is destroying me the humor in this show is exactly my brand of corny and cheesy

-the impromtu story made up by danny and amorpho to explain stuff to the fentons. my god they are both such bad liars. but amorpho is a good egg. wish danny wouldnt have said he didnt wanna see him in town again!! I want him to be reoccurring. not that thats gonna matter since I'm almost done with the series, but the idea of this being the Only Time We See him is :(

-NEXT EP SAYS STARRING MARK HAMILL??????!!! hello ! mr . joker....mr. star wars.... I feel like I should be. idk. taking off a hat im not wearing in respect. I shouldnt be surprised tho bc hes in a lot of cartoons as a very good voice actor, and dp has already had a lot of talented ones so I've been looking out for ones I might know, but....mr. hamill....

-sam has her own greenhouse, names all the plants, and says thank you to them (in the languages from where the plants are from) whenever she harvests from them. thats SO cute. and her lil gothy lunch box...

-and danny's lil red fuzzy lined jacket!!! ive said it before but every time the characters get alt outfits im like :D

-danny has ice powers now!!! THATS WHAT FROSTBITE MEANT. HE KNEW SOMEHOW WAY BACK THEN

-THIS SHOW NEVER LETS YOU FORGET VLAD IS A BILLIONAIRE, HUH.

-danny's lil 'holy hibiscus!' first off the 50s batman swearing is hilarious. 2nd. my username is from the flower sanchoyo hibiscus, so, shoutout to ME this ep. hi :)

-EURGH UNDERGROWTH MAKING EVERYONE PLANT ZOMBIES. HIVEMIND PLOTS SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME. and this dude made the city SO overtaken so quickly like how long was danny asleep?? oh god

-evil fucked up sam! now the whole trio has gone evil at some point! the voice actress did a really, really good job with making her sound like a zombie...

-frostbite's paws are so so so big compared to danny. oh my god. i want to hug the snow dog...

-the far frozen has an advanced medical stuff!!! very cool. very smart snow dogs

-im so glad danny has a friendly ghost snow dad to explain this new power and teach him!!! this is so sweet. DANNY'S GHOST SENSE WAS A PART OF HIS ICE POWER?? OOOH. COOL. we love a training montage!!!

-danny saying if he cant defeat overgrowth, that he'd want to stay with frostbite...oh my god...do you think this is the first real supportive adult figure in his life (I am NOT counting his parents because they threaten him on the daily even if they dont realize it.) I mean mr lancer is a Teacher, but he was also nice but this is different, but this is a GHOST WHO IS WILLING TO HELP HIM with his powers and also will help him when hes injured and is so so nice and comparatively so much more mature than 90% of the adults in this show!!!! god. dad frostbite is my everything.

-the framing and lighting this episode, and all the angles...they went all OUT and it looks really really good. this is my nightmare scenario, tho. like, FUCK zombies and dead city zones and hivemind shit. and using the humans as 'nutrients for the children' i am going to THROW UP.

-MALEFICENT VIBES WITH THE HORNS AND GREEN EYES! this costume kicks so much ass. sam is now mark hamills daughter, I guess.

-danny's ice powers making his eyes blue!!! thats neat. and him going for the roots underground was SO SMART. i will not stand for danny ever thinking hes stupid, hes SO smart.

almost done with the show... :"( thats a sad thought!!!
