#it's funny and I'm not complaining though

[yoonlyhan]

ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ in which itoshi sae judges your taste in men

being friends with sae is not really... that bad. at least you were not miserable, yet. you guessed it was because you and sae had the same vibes so that's why your friendship with him last long. because on times he would snap at you, you would snap back at him.

it was so funny being friends with sae. yet you still don't know if it was a blessing or a curse being friends with itoshi sae.

right now, you were guessing it's a real curse being with him. you weren't complaining though.

“can you... stop?”

sae was looking at you. one of his eyebrow was raising at you and at the same, there is a crease in between his brows. the corner of his lips visibly twitched at you.

“stop what?" you asked.

“whatever you were doing. you sound like you're summoning a demon.”

“you're overreacting. i was simply happy.” you grinned.

sae rolled his eyes and focused back on his phone. he was reading whatever about football or something, you didn't care about what he was doing on his phone. but he seems to be way interested on your phone.

“it's called delusional.” he said as if correcting me.

rolling your eyes, you turn your back at him and focused on your phone. specifically to an edit video from tiktok.

as you watch longer of edits of your favorite characters, sae seems to be annoyed by your frantic squeling of a whatever character you were watching.

“if i saw someone like this guy in real life, i'll definitely go up to him and propose.”

“ughhh, this guy! i swear on my life i'm gonna marry him.”

“shit? what happened to hi, hello? how are you?”

you were giggling. like crazy giggles. and sae... he—

you felt sae's presence beside you. you glances at him and saw him looking at your phone.

“that's what you're watching? a fictional character?” he raised a brow at you. “you were saying all those stuff and he's not even real. have you gone crazy?”

“crazy for him.” you tap your screen, but you acted like you were booping the nose of the fictional character.

sae looked at you as if you said something so ridiculous.

“you're ridiculous.” well, sae did indeed looked at you like you said something ridiculous.

“oh please. look at him.”

you showed him your phone. sae leaned back his head a little and stared at your screen. you didn't know if sae was trying to hide it but he was so obvious with the disgusting expression he has right now.

“you're screaming for a guy with blindfolds on? where is his forehead anyway?” he said in a monotone voice.

oh sae was judging it hard. at least by the way he was looking at it.

“dude, let me show you him with no blindfolds on. he honestly looks like my future husband.” you showed him another video then looked at sae to see his reaction.

“i just know he's not interest with the likes of you..”

you gasped. “sae, that's so rude. i never taught you to be like that to my future husband.” you took back your phone and started searching for another video.

“hold up, let me show you another one.” you showed sae an edit video of another fictional character. “what do you think? he plays sport too. he's a very cool guy.” you grinned as you describe the character.

“he probably smells when he sweat.”

you gasped. again.

“don't act like you don't sweat when you play football!”

“i don't. most of the games were boring that i can't even sweat.” he smugly shrugged.

you narrows your eyes at him. “doesn't change the fact that you sweat too.”

“i don't smell when i sweat.”

he's right. sae doesn't even smell when he was sweating on hot days. it's kinda unfair.

“yeah right.” you showed him another video.

then slowly it turned into a challenge. you were constantly showing him different characters, different angles, and different personalities. and somehow sae would say something so disagreeable, you had to hold your self for not punching him in the face. some were funny remarks but you didn't want to show him anything that would satisfy him.

he would say something like:

“in real life, you wouldn't even like those spiky hair. how is a hair even spiky?”

“he looks like the most average person you'll ever see. how are you liking these people?”

“he's too loud. thought you said you don't like so much noise? well, aren't you fooling yourself now huh.”

“stop reading those awful scenarios. he's too sad for romantic and shit.”

you shut your phone off and glared at him. sae was still looking at you smugly and bored at the same time. he tilts his head when he notice your glare at him.

“then who do you think would be the best for me?” you questioned.

it's a stare off. the moment you stare at each other, it's a lose for the other if they look away first. and you weren't planning on losing again.

sae shrugs. “how would i know?”

“exactly, how would you know who's best for me?”

“i won't.” he continues to stare at you.

you raised both of your eyebrow and have your eyes slightly widened. you were starting to look funny but you didn't care.

“but...”

you blinked. but?

sae tilt his head slightly upward while staring at you still. “they'll go to me first. i'll be the judge if they are worth of you.” he rasped.

and you almost looked away. you almost lost but you didn't and only blinked at him faster.

“what...” your eyes narrowed at him. “the hell you talkin' about?”

few seconds passed before itoshi sae looks away. looks. away.

he stood up and walked away from you, leaving you and your eyes wide open, lips parted, and face red. you were left wondering at his words and then spends the next 30 minutes thinking if sae... probably... possibly likes you?

he's definitely screwed if you knew he did.

Everything about the kiss scene is FASCINATING to me.

All of their choices in this scene serve to reflect the ballet. Their romance IS the ballet, and while having the audience sit enraptured while they choreograph start to finish and then give a standing ovation to a kiss seems literally silly, it's metaphorically brilliant. I don't know anything about ballet. Even watching the final piece kind of knowing what it should be about, I was confused. But that's what this show is, it's taking this art form and fleshing out stories behind it from bureaucracy to chaos to relationships. And every element of this kiss scene reflects that so well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like typically you frame a TV kiss differently from how they did. You shoot from the side and direct the actors so the camera can get a clear shot of their lips meeting. But most of this scene, we are seeing the back of Tobias' or Gabin's head. Because what is significant in this scene isn't their lips, it's the movement. Their hands are in almost constant movement across the other's back or neck, their torsos twist around each other, and their heads bob with the motion of a deep kiss. The scene is shot in an atypical way to capture as much movement as possible because this is the ballet. This kiss is a metaphor for the ballet. The shows that are put on this stage are works of love and passion and story, and that is what the audience is seeing--an intimate admission through art. The show just takes everything a step further by showing us directly. They are telling us the stories that are already being told and allowing a wider audience to understand a new art form.

As for the audience in the theater and outside, it's SUCH a perfect metaphor for the general audience watching the show at home. I mean literally the people outside are watching on a screen. They even go out of their way to show a girl in her home turning to watch on that screen. We the audience watch, from start to finish, the development of the ballet as it reflects the development of the characters we now know and love all the way to the culmination of both of them: the full performance and the kiss.

The one time Gabin and Tobias kind of freeze in their motion is to notice the audience watching. I feel like this reflects the whole spiral from the first ballet Tobias directed. He couldn't create in France because he knew he was being watched. New York was his home and he was comfortable there. He went so far as to fly back to see and work on his old piece with Cheyenne even though he said he stops thinking about a dance when it's done. He was sent to France to be paraded around a little bit. The media was the point of the whole swap. He literally complains about the rat that's watching him and points out that the French rat is specifically different from New York rats. He's being watched, he's uncomfortable, he creates something inauthentic. Not once, but twice.

But you know who gets rid of that rat? You know who says it doesn't matter who else is there, just that Tobias can watch the show? Gabin. He is the key to the comfort and change that Tobias finds. Gabin puts on a show of wanting to be seen, he boasts and brags every chance he can, but as soon as it comes to Tobias, he doesn't care. He doesn't need the attention of fame, he needs to be truly seen by someone who cares about him.

So they're on stage, frozen for a moment, realizing they are still being watched. And Tobias asks if Gabin thinks anyone saw, and Gabin responds "No, not at all."

It's funny on a literal level, but it's also a reflection of the fact that they've both let go of their opposite but equally intense grasps on perception. Who in that audience really knows what that kiss means to either of them? Who in that audience knows everything about that dance? They got to see more than normal, and it's fascinating, but they didn't see the move and the spiral and the rat and the fight and all of it. We at home are watching this show with the overarching purpose of representing ballet, so we see more character and thought and feeling behind it, but we are so so far from seeing all of what has gone into this show. An audience will never know all that goes into someone else's art, the only people who can truly know are the artists themselves. We just watch, we can't see.

But the authenticity of that art in the scope that we get still rings true. That's why we watch. Art can't be art without authenticity. Hence the bad reviews and booing crowd when Tobias was still resisting France and Gabin still just wanted a spotlight. So Gabin and Tobias let go of the pressures of perception and create something authentic and kiss again. Then, and only then, does the audience cheer. They have next to no context for this, but they applaud. It doesn't matter that they have almost no context for this because they're watching something truly vulnerable and human. It doesn't matter if we know nothing about ballet or the show, it's a satisfying conclusion because we're seeing some damn good art

Imagine being the non-mc significant other of lead guitarist! Sylus.

"The usual?" You have the owner a smile and a nod. "You're late, it's already the four and last set." The pub owner spoke, preparing your drink. "That's because Sylus doesn't know I'm here. It's a surprise." You wink at her.

Imagine engaging on a conversation with the owner, the one you are actually close with given the fact that Sylus and the boys were the one that introduced you to her. She was a lovely lady with a bit of mystery around her. Keeping yourself occupied as you wait for the band to come into the stage.

Imagine preoccupied with your catching up with the owner, you did not notice that they were already on the stage. It wasn't until you heard a familiar strumming of electric guitar that you knew very well who belongs to that made you pause mid sentence and look at the direction of the stage.

Imagine being excited, its been a while since you have seen the boys, let alone your lover perform, having your own lives to begin with, you were quite busy nowadays, so now is the perfect time for a surprise. You even picked up a very unique guitar pick on the way here, designed just for him. He have been complaining about his old ones, ones you are pretty sure he could easily replace, nonetheless it was as if he was giving you some sort of hint.

Imagine the way you look back at the owner, only to see some sort of complicated look on her face. Soon enough you knew why. "Honey, why you calling me so late?" You knew that voice. "It's kinda hard to talk right now." You knew that fucking voice. "Honey, why you crying, is everything okay?" It felt like the world stop, but it didn't. In fact, it continues. Painfully. "I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud"

Imagine, Sylus was never the best singer. There was a reason why he was the lead guitarist and not the vocalist. But the thing is, when he tries, when he tries hard enough. He really singings well. You have heared him, even laugh at him. But of boy did you love him singing. When he sings it was always full of emotion. Like unwritten stories yet to say and unfold. Like hidden feelings waiting to be heard. He only singing when it's important. He only sings for you. Or so you though.

"It's funny that you're calling me tonight." You watch silently, at the side the way he looks in the crowd. Then his eyes soften, "And, yes, I've dreamt of you too." You knew you shouldn't have followed his gaze, you don't want to get hurt nor confirm anything, but you still did. And boy, it fucking hurts. "And does he know you're talking to me? Will it start a fight?" There he was looking at her, MC. "No, I don't think she has a clue."

Imagine, you always wonder why they broke up. They were so perfect for each other. But then again, that was all in the past? Right? You knew Sylus loves you. You knew he does, but you also knew that she was there first. Before you there was her. How could you even compare yourself to her? She was well loved my everyone, heck, even you could tell how much of a lovable person she was. That's why you always wonder, why you? Still, Sylus always made you feel like you were enough. But you aren't really sure anymore.

"Well, my girl's in the next room, sometimes I wish she was you." She laughs, exchanging words with her friend as she sat there in front, eyes never looking away at Sylus. "I guess we never really moved on." Sylus was looking at her softly, he was looking at her with something in his eyes.

Imagine you found yourself back to all those years ago. Amongst the crowd as you watch the two stare at each other. You felt like a bystander as you did all those years ago. "It's really good to hear your voice saying my name, It sounds so sweet" When Sylus sings, it holds a meaning. It means this moment, this very moment is important for him. "Coming from the lips of an angel. Hearing those words, it makes me weak."

"I need to go." You do not know why you felt awfully calm, heart beating wildly at your chest makes you wonder why. "I'm s-" You just raise a hand and smile at her. Funny it felt numb when your heart literally have broken into tiny little pieces. "I'll come back to my tab later." "And I never wanna say goodbye."

Imagine the way you slowly make it out of the pub. Your heart weighting heavily on your chest. Taking every bit of you strength to prevent yourself from crying. Dragging your feet as you walk and took a deep breath to compose yourself. "But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful." You did not look back, you don't want to. And finally, you grab a hold of the door and push it. "With the lips of an angel." And so you were out the door.

cas going through the worst shit ever -> let's be real, when is he not? but yeah, he was in purgatory, didn't feel like he deserved to be alive, got the angel tablet literally ripped out of his stomach, got his grace pulled out... i think i can check that box

cas isn't there for half of the episodes -> yeah and that was mean. don't do it again. petition for him to get back to being in the "starring" part of the show again, not just "special guest star misha collins". main character. now.

new hunters -> yeah lol a whole episode about new hunters (8x18). but that was so sad

meg kicks ass -> she went down kicking ass. rip you absolute badass

bit of a time skip between s7 and 8 -> a little more than a bit. a fucking year. but yeah

emotional + funny dean/baby reunion -> wasn't really all that emotional or funny, he just complained about the dog smell :/

some disgusting and violent fight scenes in purgatory -> as flashbacks yeah, plenty

both dean and cas escape purgatory -> they did. not together sadly :(

kevin gets his old life back somehow -> lmao yeah no, sorry kevin. couldn't have been more wrong with this one

destiel hug -> OH HELL YES! the look of pure happiness in dean's eyes when he found cas in purgatory!!! (8x02)

garth appearance -> yes. we have been garthed. 8x06

new monster species -> does the golem count as a monster? idk what he is but i'll just take it

some crazy lore about the creation of humanity or angels or some shit -> i'll count the tablets for this i think? i mean we learn a whole lot about angels, demons, leviathan. so yeah i'd say it qualifies as crazy lore

cas doing human things and being adorably clueless -> i love when he does that. the supermarket scene in 8x22 was everything

no main character dies -> i can't believe i'm saying this, but yes! sam, dean AND cas all got out of this season ALIVE??? (there have been enough other deaths though)

someone calls dean cas' boyfriend -> surprisingly not. but instead we got "your angel" so i'm not complaining

crowley being a dick but also saving them -> he wasn't exactly keen on saving their asses this season. he was iconic though, as always

sad childhood flashbacks -> nah (thanks for sparing us. at least from that one)

wanted by the police again -> also nah

getting drunk together -> also not. BUT we got dean and cas drinking at a bar together in the last ep (i think it was the last one). they didn't get drunk though but at least that

yeah sooo... BINGO BITCHES i'm having so much fun with this show (actually i'm suffering but in a good way)

[thevoidstaredback]

Honestly, Danny doesn't know how he gets into these situations. It's probably the fault of a deity or an Ancient or someone. It's most definitely Clockwork's fault.

Going on that mission with Constantine sounded like a good idea at the time, and Raven was going to be there! She's the best impulse control on the team. He realizes he should've clarified why Raven was going with them. Evidently, it was not to help or be impulse control for the Ghost King and the Alcoholic Soul Whore. (Don't tell Constantine that's his nickname) Raven was going along because she had business at Titan Tower. It should've been obvious, but Danny is not the most observant.

Either way, he was wrong. He thought going on this mission with John - there was a demon running around an apartment building and people were, apparently, quite upset about that - would deter the Justice League from hounding him like roaches. He was right about that, but also very wrong because the proteges took the opportunity to sniff him out like the bloodhounds they are. Unsurprisingly, Red Robin was at the head of the charge.

Raven, the traitor, sat back and laughed at him. She wasn't laughing, but it was obvious that she found his misery amusing.

Anyway, this lead to a citywide hunt for Danny. Anytime he spotted even a hint of any of the Titans chasing him, he was gone. He couldn't stray too far from Constantine, though, and Beast Boy had a nose like a damn elephant.

The chase lasted a solid three hours before he had to let them catch him, if only so that he could tell them to leave him alone because he's there on official JLD business. Not like that would actually work, but he had hope. Unfortunately, he forgot that Red Robin is Bat Trained.

Danny took a second for himself before the Titans caught up with him. Was this really better than Deadman harassing him about his first time in Gotham? No, it wasn't. It wasn't any worse, either, and he didn't know how to feel about that.

"Are you finally done running?" Red Robin asked, landing in a crouch in front of him.

Danny folded his legs to sit criss-cross in the air as the rest of the kids that had been chasing him joined RR. "You make it sound like I'm a criminal."

"You ran like one," Beast Boy pointed out. Fair, but rude. "And, dude, I don't know if you know this, but you smell horrible."

Danny placed a hand on his chest with a dramatic gasp. "How dare you! I took a shower just last week!"

Raven was now unamused.

Superboy gagged a bit. "He's right," A small shudder. "I couldn't smell it before, but I can now that you're so close to me."

He sighed with equal dramatics as his gasp. "I guess I can never get rid of the smell, even after all this time."

Wonder Girl tilted her head to the side slightly. "Oh? And what smell would that be?"

"The smell of death," John Constantine, ever a man of impeccable timing, turned onto the side street to join them. He largely ignored the kids in favor of the ghost child who isn't actually a child but no one listens to him when he explains that so he's probably going to stop trying. "It lingers. C'mon, kid, we've got a demon to exorcise."

Danny huffed like a petulant child, "Still not a kid!"

Constantine continued walking away. "Still don't care."

Himaru: [Long pause] ...What happened to you, man? Did you get run over?

Pac: [Laughs] Don't judge me, don't judge me! Ok? Look at- look at- look at JVNQ! He has a funny face too, but nobody says anything about it!

Himaru: No man, I'm not judging you, but– I just wor- I'm just worried! [...] Well for me, I'll be serious with you: it doesn't matter what's on the outside, ok? What matters is what's inside, got it?

Pac: Thank you. [He hugs Himaru] Do you think I'm poggers? Do you think I'm poggers? Say it.

Himaru: No Pac, it doesn't matter that you look ugly, ridiculous, like a truck reversed into you then ran you over, like someone hit you–

Milo: my god

Himaru: –like Anderson Silva crushed you in the ring– Hey, it doesn't matter! What matters is that your heart is beating.

JV: And you have a home!

Himaru: Understand? Give love to others, ok?

Pac: My god.

Milo: he was saving those insults

Himaru: And that's all, ok man? You can be at peace, ok? I won't- I won't judge you, I'll just... I'll just do one thing, man.

Pac: What are you doing?

Himaru: I'm just going to avoid eye contact, ok? But I'm still talking to you, I'm still listening, ok? I hear you.

Pac: ...I can't believe this.

Reasons why I won't be watching the Minecraft movie

1) That's Not Steve

I've never seen a franchise whitewash their own character as much as Mojang does with Steve, like the official art, the merchandise, and now the movie? Be so fr

His actual avatar is black. Like, that is not a white man. At all. How did we get here

The concept of queerbaiting annoys me. I was told that it refers to a work of fiction pretending to cater to a queer audience but then pulling back from it to avoid alienating homophobes, which is an incredibly specific thing. But a lot of people seem to think that it instead means "any time there's any gay subtex, metaphor, or ambiguity" or "whenever something from 1995-2012 was being a normal amount of homophobic for the era."

[delicateconstitution]

also this is the gayle/mr. frond thing

Scotland: We should at least ask. Norway, what do you think?

Norway: No comment.

I don't know if anyone outside the UK or Norway has heard about this, but Orkney has been looking into other forms of govern and they suggested they become a territory of Norway, operating independently. The UK has since said that this is unacceptable and will NOT be happening regardless. The official Norwegian response was basically just "this is an internal affair, no comment".
