Funniest bit of the dnd movie is Xenk clearly being an NPC the DM introduced for lore and plot purposes who’s a competent fighter because of course he is, his reputation and backstory require it. But whoopsies the DM made him too powerful, the whole party likes him, and now they want him to come with to fight the BBEG which will completely and utterly fuck up the encounter balance
So instead of there being any actual plot reason he can’t join Xenk just says “I can’t. This is something only you can do.” And then walks off, never to interact with the party again because the DM just knows those little shits will find a way to use their OP creation against them

dom!kazuha x sub!fem!reader - “all because of a concert sign” (warnings: smut, degradation, jealousy, fingering, thigh riding, begging, orgasm control, orders)
a/n: this was a request! also, the reader is the maknae, but not a minor! reader and eunchae have been aged up to fit the narrative!
word count: 1.8k
it’s currently 11:35 and you and the rest of your members are having a hard time saying goodbye to the fans at your concert. you all love hearing them cheer and scream your names, it makes you feel accomplished. tonight was a blast, like any other concert night, however, it would have been a lot funner if kazuha wasn’t staring daggers at you the entire concert.
she was so distant today, which is very unlike her, especially towards you. she’s normally quite the opposite, always all over you when she gets the chance. she does it in front of the fans too, more discretely of course, but she can never seem to keep her hands off you. which is why tonight was weird, she barely spoke to you, much less touched you. you did catch her staring at you a couple of times, but she looked angry, very angry. you can’t wait to get some time alone to ask her what was wrong.
after many tears and apologies for your departure, you finally all make it backstage. you rush towards kazuha, thinking you can finally talk to her, but the managers barely let you speak to each other before rushing you outside. you try to get a few words in when you get in the car, but kazuha still refuses to speak to you.
the rest of the car ride is silent and eerily long, it feels much longer than it did when you were on your way to the venue. you awkwardly sit wanting to touch her thigh or her hand, or even just have a conversation, but she won’t budge. you’re starting to get worried, did you do something wrong? you think back to everything you did at the concert, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, just the regular amount of fan service and some joke flirting with the fans. nothing you don’t normally do in front of her.
“stop shaking your leg, it’s gonna fall off.” eunchae jokingly shouts at you even though she’s directly at your side and startles you. kazuha turns her head to look at you but immediately turns back with an eye roll.
“manchae, lower your voice, my head hurts.” sakura shoots back at her and the car goes silent again. you finally arrive at home and nobody even tries to make small talk before rushing off to their bedrooms to get ready for bed. even when you’re finally inside you and kazuha’s shared dorm though, she doesn’t turn to look at you or pay any attention to you in the slightest.
“c’mon zuha, talk to me.”
she stops what she’s doing and turns to face you, the same anger in her expression as before.
“go talk to chaewon.” you roll your eyes with a sigh and look at her in disbelief. “is that what you’re mad about? we act like that all the time, this is not a new thing. plus, you know it’s just fan service, why is it bothering you so much today?” you walk closer to her and try to wrap your arms around her neck but she grabs your wrists before you can finish your motion. you gasp a little out of shock, and somewhat arousal. you hate to admit this, but seeing her this mad and possessive is actually turning you on.
“i’m mad about what i finally saw today. have you seen the things the fans write about you and chaewon? the requests they make a meet and greets? the concert signs with your ship name? and you go along with all of them. you’re just giving them more reasons to think there’s something happening between you two.”
her grip on your wrists tightens and she brings herself closer to you, practically breathing her words into your face and neck.
“you know it’s not like that, the fans’ narrative means nothing to me. you know i want you .”
“okay then, show me.” her hands leave your wrists and travel to your sides, pushing you back against your dorm room door. “i want you to do exactly what i say, then maybe i’ll believe you. do you understand?” you answer her with a breathy ‘yes’ and lean in for a kiss. she allows the kiss to happen for maybe a few seconds, then pulls away, leaving you longing for more.
“take your clothes off.” you obey her demand instantly, partially because you’ve wanted to rip your clothes off for the entirety of this interaction. you’re not used to her being like this, she’s normally very vanilla during sex, this kazuha is completely new.
once all of your clothes are off, she takes your wrists into her hands again and pins them above your head, shoving her thigh between your legs at the same time.
“you finish when i tell you to, got it?” the way the words sound coming out of her mouth nearly make you fail her demand on the spot. “got it.” “great.”
she begins kissing down your neck and collarbone and you can’t help but be completely entranced in the noises her lips make while in contact with your skin. you let yourself fall deeper into the sound when you feel her thigh start moving under you. your legs twitch and you almost fall over, but kazuha catches you.
“if you can’t hold yourself up now, how are we supposed to keep going?”
she goes back to leaving lipstick stains and bite marks all over your chest area almost as soon as she stopped, keeping your arms pinned above your head. you look down at her thigh and realize how much slick you’re leaving all over her. she notices you looking and smirks.
“do you like seeing yourself on me? does it make you horny?” you whimper an incomprehensible answer at her and earn a small chuckle in return.
“zuha.” you moan out her name, biting your lip after, trying not to make much noise.
“yes?” “feels tight, im close.”
she pulls you into a deep, slow kiss for a few seconds and pulls away with your bottom lip in between her teeth.
“not yet, hold on a little longer.” you squirm at her request, trying to stop the friction with her thigh, but she won’t let you. she uses one of her hands to guide your hips along her now flexed muscle, clearly aware of what she’s doing.
“can’t, i need to…” her other hand leaves your wrists and jumps to your jaw, moving your head so her mouth is right beside your ear. “you don’t need anything, you want it, because you’re a slut. tell me, do you want chaewon to touch you like this as well?
you vigorously shake your head, trying your best to hold off your impending orgasm. she forces your hips further down onto her thigh, driving you closer to the edge.
“zuha, i can’t keep holding, please.” she quickens the pace of your hips with her hand. “if you really want to get off, beg for it.” you want to take a second and think about your next words, but you can’t. your desire at this moment completely takes over and you blurt out the first words your already foggy brains comes up with.
“please zuha, let me cum. i want to get off so bad. it aches so much, just please.” you slur your words together as you get your best attempt out, hoping it was good enough for her.
“okay. go ahead, cum.” she barely finishes her sentence and you’re already letting yourself go. your head completely empties itself of any thoughts and you feel your legs completely lose balance, nearly falling to the ground once more. she lets you come back from your high and guides you to the bed.
she pushes you down, climbing on top of you and playing with your breasts. tugging and pulling at your nipples with her fingers while using her tongue everywhere else.
you suddenly become very aware of the fact that you’re completely exposed while all of her clothes are still on, so you try taking her shirt off.
“no, my clothes stay on tonight. you’re the one who wants to be played with, not me.”
that familiar sticky-hot feeling between your legs is suddenly back with just one sentence from her.
you pull her down to your lips by her shirt, opening your legs to let yourself feel her in between them. kazuha pulls away, tracing your facial features with her fingertip.
“look at you spreading your legs for me. what would the others think of this? their innocent little maknae being such a whore.”
you feel the blood rush to your cheeks and your core, you need kazuha to touch you, no more teasing.
“zuha, i want you inside of me, please.��
“wouldn’t you rather have chaewon inside of you?”
“kazuha, i only want you, please…just fuck me.”
she licks her lips and finally touches you like you’ve been wanting all night. she moves her fingers up and down your folds a few time before stopping at your entrance, locking eyes with you and inserting two fingers inside.
a heated moan leaves your mouth and kazuha slaps her other hand over your mouth.
“i’m the only one that gets to hear you, try to be quieter.”
she takes her hand away and places it on top of your breast, going back to playing with it like before.
her fingers move at a slow pace for the first few minutes, but gradually gain more speed.
you once again lower her to your face by her shirt, wanting to drown your moans in a delirious kiss. it works for a while, but kazuha pulls away just as she starts curling her fingers inside you, bringing her mouth to your clit. she stimulates you with her mouth while still keeping her fingers in you, pumping in and out even faster.
“zuha, feels good. don’t stop, please.”
she doesn’t tease back this times, she simply complies and continues giving you what you want.
you feel what must be the biggest wave of pleasure ever hit you and your vision goes blurry. she keeps her fingers inside you a bit longer, helping you finish comfortably. once you’re completely done, she finally takes her fingers out and you watch her lick them dry, much like she did with the rest.
when she’s done, she gives you a big gummy smile and cups your cheek with her hand. “i’m sorry i got so jealous, i truly had to reason to”
“it’s okay, i understand. but…”
she lifts an eyebrow at you awaiting the rest of your sentence.
“we could try to shift the fans’ views. it wasn’t that hard for them to like me and chaewon, they could start liking me and you.”

ADA WONG ; LOVE LANGUAGE
Tumblr media
navi. | masterlist.
what i think her love languages are (all my opinion so if you don’t agree that’s fine).
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
↳ her love language: gift giving.
she would spoil you with so many gifts. she would def take you to whatever store you wanted and buy out the whole place if you asked
i feel like she’s not the sentimental type, with her job and all, so her gift giving only applies to store bought gifts
she might buy something (like a necklace) with something only you two would know about though (like an inside joke or a saying)
but that’s the extent of her sentimentality
↳ her love language: acts of service.
to me, ada is the type of woman to want to take care of her partner
maybe she’d see a mess that needed to be cleaned up but knows you’ve been stressed lately, so she’d clean it while you were away for the evening, so you can return to a clean home
she’d make you meals when she notices you’ve been overworking yourself and forgetting to eat
anything broken in your home that you’ve been meaning to take care of would suddenly be fixed or replaced
↳ her love language: words of affirmation.
she doesn’t even realize she does this one
she’s not the type to give out praise all the time, but with you it’s just so easy
when you think you’ve done something wrong or maybe you’re working on something you hate, she’s the first to look it over and tell you all the things you did right. she’ll tell you if anything needs to be rethought out but she’ll never insult you or put you down for it
i feel like she’d be the type to support her partner 100%, you’ll always have her in your corner ready to defend you/support you
↳ her love language: pet names.
she’s such a pet name woman
will call you a pretty thing literally all the time, you could be wearing the most comfortable lazy lounging clothes and she’d still compliment you “well aren’t you a pretty thing?”
sweetheart, baby, love, angel. it really depends on how she’s feeling that day
she calls you everything except your name and it’s gotten to the point where sometimes you wonder if she forgot it
she didn’t of course
↳ her love language: physical touch.
this but very subtle, especially in public
when she’s at home she has to constantly have some part of her body touching yours. her legs tangled with yours on the couch, her fingers brushing through your hair in bed, etc
she loves when you get all clingy, although she’d never admit it
when she’s in a bad mood she likes her space but on a rare occasion she’ll seek out your warmth for comfort
in public she might hook her pinky with yours or play footsies with you underneath a table, but she hovers more than anything. she’s def not a fan of pda
↳ her love language: communication.
this is where it gets tricky
she wants you to be open and honest with her 24/7, she hates guessing how you feel, she’d rather know
anytime you close off to her, she’s immediately getting you to talk, even if you don’t want to
but it’s not the same for her
she’ll dance around how she actually feels and is a master at evading talking about things she doesn’t want to talk about
it causes arguments but she’s trying to open up more, for you
Tumblr media
note: i could’ve made this a lot more detailed but i didn’t want this to be too long cause they’re just some headcannons i have. also, i am still writing ghosting you! i just couldn’t get this out of my head so i needed to write something small for ada. she literally lives in my head rent free, 24/7…

Rick and Morty S7 Ep. 3: Air Force Wong
(We’ve come a long way since Pickle Rick)
Tumblr media
Spoiler Alert. Can’t say I didn’t warn you.
My Favs
Unity!
Really wasn’t expecting to ever see them again so it was a pleasant surprise! Bringing back Unity could have crossed the line into being too fan service-y but I think they were incorporated into the ongoing story of the Rick/Rick Prime saga nicely.
“Don’t be a Space Mormon!”:
But immediately being apologetic about making fun of the SS agent’s religion.
“I volunteer to do acid to prove I’m not a cop!”:
Me too. Me too
President’s cellphone wallpaper:
Rick and the President posing with a recently caught Nessie cracked me up more than it should have.
“Call in a chopper. I’m being cockblocked!”
Rick almost died trying to defeat Rick Prime?!:
I need the details! I NEED THEM!
Summer and Rick’s interaction:
We haven’t gotten a lot of Summer this season so it’s nice to see her trying to reach out to her grandfather. Summer is probably the second smartest member of the Smith/Sanchez and made the connection pretty quickly that Unity was back and that Rick would be deep in his feels. I love seeing Summer’s empathetic side but it was also sad to see Rick shut her out in the guise of creating “boundaries.” He still has a long way to go.
The President becoming a hive mind in order to achieve an 100% approval rating:
Honestly, a politician enslaving the minds of his constituents in order to get unanimous approval is something that would happen in real life if they could. Absolutely realistic.
*traumatic flashback of the last 7-8 years*
David Miscavage voicemail:
Unless you are familiar with the history of Scientology, you’re probably not going to get that joke. That was written for nerds like me. (Real talk though, I believe Scientology is a dangerous cult. The actress, Leah Remini has done some great work exposing this cult for what it is and some of their abusive practices.)
My Not Favs
Has anyone seen Morty? He’s gone missing and we’re so worried about him:
I have it on good authority that he’s going to be more prominent in the season going forward. Hope my sources are correct…
Mr. Stabby:
The bit didn’t really do it for me.
The romantic arc between the President and Dr. Wong:
Fortunately it was ditched as quickly as it started.
My Thoughts:
A couple of things come to mind:
First, I want to discuss my biggest problem with Auto Erotic Assimilation as an episode. The episode ends with a pretty moving scene of Rick attempting suicide after Unity breaks up with him. Iconic scene no doubt, but a scene I felt had poor justification. The reasoning being is that the only thing we ever really learn during that episode is that Rick and Unity like to fuck…a lot. And abuse substance…a lot. Frankly, the relationship struck me as being awfully shallow. This most recent episode, however, added some much needed substance that was previously lacking. We find out that Rick has confided in them about Rick Prime and possibly Diane and Beth. They were around for the disastrous aftermath of his previous attempt to hunt Rick Prime and when they find out Rick is going to attempt to go after him again goes to extreme lengths to get Rick’s attention and dissuade him from going through with it.
Now, I don’t really want to see Unity and Rick get back together and I do see this episode as a sort of resolution to this relationship. Two people may not be able to make a romantic relationship work but sometimes that can pave the way to something better. Maybe a friendship can form from this that is much more meaningful than a romance, when they’re ready. They both still care about each other that’s for sure, but Rick still has some work.
Secondly, I’ve seen some conversation that Dr. Wong was in the wrong to side with Unity and tell Rick he was squarely in the wrong. Rewatching the episode, in the scene before Dr. Wong and Rick confront Unity the two of them discuss how they are going to convince Unity to take over the President’s hivemind in order to restore everyone. In this discussion they say,
Rick: “So you need to convince [Unity] I’m worth it.”
Dr. Wong: “You aren’t”.
Rick: “So lie”.
A possible interpretation is that Dr. Wong took his advice and said what she thought would be necessary to bring order back to earth which meant placing the blame on Rick. It’s a thought. I don’t know if if clears anything up but that’s kinda how I see it.
Overall, I enjoyed this episode. It wasn’t nearly the fun romp we had with the second episode, but I appreciate a fresh insight into Rick and Unity’s relationship and I like to see Rick gradually warming up to therapy to the point that he values his relationship with Dr. Wong. She’s one of the few people not intimidated by him or afraid to call him out on his BS. Sometimes, finding a therapist that really clicks with you can be a monumental task so Rick got pretty lucky finding the perfect therapist on the first try.

asexual characters. i take no criticism, i have claimed them for the aces.
1. Artem Wing
He gives “im focusing on school/work” ace but doesn’t realize they’re ace vibes. Please stop bullying him for being a virgin with one doctorate degree.
2. Yves Kloss
He bakes cakes and cake is better than seggs.
(also a lot of his steamy smut scenes feels like they’re just for fan service because it’s an otome game.)
3. Chevalier Michel
If Chevalier can do everything because he’s a genius, how come no bitches?
If you said “because he never needed bitches,” that seems like ace culture to me.
Tumblr media
4. Clavis Lelouch
He’s purple. Just kidding. He just has demisexual vibes. I think he wouldn’t be interested in a sexual relationship unless there are romantic feelings. I could be wrong ngl, the ace vibes aren’t strong in this one but because he’s purple I shall claim him.
4. Sariel Noir
He’s also purple. Just kidding (not really). A professional man. Leads me to believe he’s a kinky grayace. (again the ace vibes aren’t strong because i know next to nothing about him. i can’t wait to be proven wrong 🤠)
Tumblr media
🖤🤍💜
🤫
(coincidence? i think not 🤨)
5. Isaac Newton
Bro discovered gravity so the allos could get laid. Okay that was a terrible joke but I’m leaving it in here. No but fr, another case of “I have to study, I don’t have time for a relationship,” vibe.
Irl Isaac is believed to be ace too.
6. Jean D’arc
Irl Joan of Arc aka “Jehanne la Pucelle” (Joan the Maid, as in Joan the Virgin).
Read more about her here.
Ikevamp Jean just screams clueless and oblivious. He’s like the *doesn’t realize that having sex isn’t a joke* type of ace. Again, his spicy scenes are a little 🤔🤔🤨 They do feel like they’re just for the ✨thirst✨
7. Zero
The Ace of Hearts 😈🖤💜🤍
Maybe it’s because he was made in a lab idk. His route is very ace friendly, they don’t just shove weird spicy scenes in your face. Or at least from what I remember. I played his dramatic route and I don’t remember there being any smutty scenes.
8. Fenrir Godspeed
The Ace of Spades 😈♠️ He’s purple.
Sex positive ace. Yeah i actually just put him here because he’s the ace of spades 🧍🏻‍♀️
9. Luka Clemence
He’s another purple character. He also bakes cakes and stuff and that’s better than seggs. He’s too innocent, always so clueless.
10. Uesugi Kenshin
Very suspicious of irl Kenshin never marrying, having a concubine, or having children of his own🤨
Ikesen Kenshin saying he hates women is kinda funny to me for some reason maybe because he would be canceled to fast for saying that. Anyways he’s too busy with his battles to think about relationships.

i’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and i want to hear someone from SPHS’s thoughts.
i know you’ve noticed the “tiktok” fan base- the ones that only watch clips of the show and then say they’re fans. i read one of your posts talking about these types of fans and making blatantly incorrect headcanons. that’s something that bugs me, but another thing that bugs me is the fact i do not believe south park is tiktokable. i’ll use family guy as a comparison for my points.
first of all, compared to family guy, the humor is different, pretty much everything they explained in the cartoon wars two parter explains what i mean, m&t are not fans of interchangeable jokes and are able to give characters emotional progression throughout the episode. that’s one huge factor, i hope you get what i’m trying to imply with that. m&t are passionate about their story telling and it pays off in their episodes. i know not EVERY SINGLE joke follows this, but there are jokes made better by understanding the characters and the circumstance of the episode. the episodes work best in their entirety. (that was difficult to explain so i fear it can be misinterpreted easily)
the characters are another thing i want to mention. i watched the episode TSST with two friends awhile ago, one of which who had never seen an episode and didn’t understand cartmans character. she kept asking questions about him, or said how weird his hitler obsession was. the other friend hadn’t finished south park and said he hated cartmans character and it’s hes one of the bad pieces of the show. i believe even if you don’t like cartman as a personal preference thing, you should at least appreciate him as a character and his placement, it’s hard to understand him (despite us watching an episode that really dives into him, they still didn’t know much about him before). with family guy, one episode is enough to grasp the character, hell, even a single scene is i’d say, while m&t are very good at developing and fleshing out character personalities over time. it’s why they can pull off making sad episodes (like kenny dies and assburgers), heartwarming episodes (like tweek x craig and even bits of episodes like in raisins) all while still being a comedy show. they understand how to make the characters react in a way that can make you feel something while maintaining a good amount of jokes in the episode.
i dont know, theres more i could add but i’m just writing whatever comes to mind first so it might make no sense or it might be wrong. also, i’m by no means an old fan. i’ve rewatched the series quite a few times, watched commentaries, researched through wiki pages and am constantly trying to better my knowledge of the show, but i know i’m not quite there yet and could just be making a mistake GAHAH
No anon, I actually totally get this and agree 100%. SP as a show is not something that works well with out of context clips (and even then, the ones that do work are usually from very early in an episode before the plot fully gets established and stakes as drawn). Until pre s18 when they started soft continuity (and then s19-21s full continuity, after that is a whole other discussion entirely), the shows syndicated nature did make it easier to hop into any episode and watch it in its entirety and enjoy it without much prior knowledge of the show or it's characters. However, even then, you really needed to watch the *whole* episode to get the big picture of it's message.
And I get it, SP full length episodes are not as accessible as they once were. People these days don't know how or aren't willing to pirate things if they don't have the streaming service SP is hosted on, and beyond that, south park used to be free to watch on their website. Like, that's how I ended up catching up on the show when I finally decided to take it all in other than a handful of episodes and scenes I'd seen during my childhood back in 2013. It was all entirely available (save for Super Best Friends, 200 and 201, which I had to go track down on other websites) for free, with ads unless you used an ad blocker, right at your fingertips. And that's how M+T wanted SP to be consumed, because they explicitly noted that they didn't care about making money on streamed episodes, they cared about getting their show out there. (I will have to go find that interview, I know it's somewhere).
But still, regardless of that, you're right. SP is not something that you can consume short form as a brief tiktok video, and that's why I think we have newer fans with such big gaps in knowledge that seem like they would be easy to fill in. It's not that they're being willfully ignorant, they're just being fed a very piecemeal version of the show through social media, which is how we get people thinking Pip is a he//llpa//rk OC (augh!!! dont get me started) instead of realizing this dude was actually in the fucking show, or headcanons that are very easy to contradict with canon itself by watching like 3 episodes. That's not me knocking HCs btw, go wild and do whatever you want, but these people don't even know it's ooc, and that's a little troublesome. I've made some outlandish character decisions in the past but I at least KNEW they were not evidence based.
What that means for the fandom down the road I don't know, and its made a lot of discussion and analysis more shallow-- it's so hard outside of my SPHS friend group to find good breakdowns these days. I'm hoping maybe something will change, but who knows.
TLDR fuck tiktok and its watering down of media

I’m in my feels about Charles’ having a Seb helmet and also in my Maxiel feels because of a conversation with a friend so here is a thing.
Maxiel: The Helmet
Most of Daniel’s friends aren’t here and that’s ok. There’s a party waiting for him in 6 different countries and he plans on hitting them all like some kind of fan service retirement thing so no one worries too much.
But he’s looking forward to Christmas - where he plans on turning off his phone and forgetting about everyone and everything.
He’s currently staring at the Lance DTS meme that another acquaintance has sent him because they think it’s funny. “You love the sport but it just don’t love ya back.” Sure, Danny had made that joke himself, but he was allowed to do that. It hurt coming from other people.
There was no F1 fanfare for him either - the sport he bled for, the one that kept him from his family for two years, the one he’s missed birthdays and funerals and weddings and time for.
Of course, Seb was getting a proper fucking send-off. Daniel was getting a reserve seat and he knew he’d never see the inside of a car at lights out again unless something bad happened, and no matter what, he couldn’t wish that on anyone - not any of these guys.
It’s Charles’ helmet that breaks him though. The helmet for Seb. You love the sport and sometimes it just don’t love ya back.
And the worst part is he had told them all not to do anything. He was a reserve driver. He’d still be around. Don’t worry about making a big deal about it, I’ll be back.
He didn’t expect anyone to actually take him seriously…he expected something.
Danny is tired now, counting the hours until he can bolt. Ready to drink a bottle of wine on a flight and not have Michael glare at him passive aggressively.
Danny’s helmet isn’t special - the same design he’s had all season - because he didn’t want to remember this. But maybe he did and maybe he’s bitter and maybe he doesn’t deserve a full time seat ever and -
He’s tugged sideways suddenly and he nearly loses his balance but then Max is righting him with that gentle smile on his face that he gets for people he actually considers friends. Danny hadn’t seen it this week after everything, but there it is.
“Hiya, Maxy. What’s up?”
Max beams and whispers, “come with me.” And then he’s waving at people in the RBR garage as they walk past them and towards Max’s driver room.
Daniel feels like he should leave. Even if he has a contract with these guys that technically starts in two days - he’s in McLaren Orange and he sticks out, but Max doesn’t let go and they keep walking.
“I, of course, did not change anything. It is still gold, and my lion is the same as always, but -“ Max pulls Daniel through the door of his driver’s room and slams it shut behind him. Daniel has flashbacks of - well, not the time for that.
“Max, what?” Daniel asks, confused and a little tired.
“I know it is not your last race ever, but it felt important to me,” Max is still rambling - quick and nervous like he does when he’s unsure if he did something wrong, and then he picks up his helmet, the gold one with two stars on the back. “You will have a seat in 24, but I wanted to -“
Max turns the helmet around and taps on the place underneath the two gold stars. The number 3.
Max put a - a 3 on his helmet for Daniel.
For Daniel’s last race.
“I know things have been hard for us, since-“ Max waves a hand between them, and it’s met to encompass everything between them. “But you are still one of my best friends and you helped make me the driver I am today and -“
He shrugs and Daniel pulls the helmet from his hands with shaky fingers, placing it back down on the table.
“Thank you,” Daniel says, before he hugs Max, winding his arms around his waist and squeezing him close. “Thank you.”
Max puts his chin directly on top of Daniel’s head somehow and says, “Yes, well you are important to me. And I am glad you are coming home.”
Daniel squeezes Max tighter. Maybe he was right. Maybe he was coming home in more than one way.

Accidentally deleted an ask regarding the scene with Blitz coming onto Stolas in “The Circus”, since I wasn’t finished typing and I accidentally posted it. Ugh, I apologize to that person, Tumblr needs to stop deleting the ask ALTOGETHER if you delete a post with an ask in it. Anyway, they made a good point with how uncomfortable it was and how Viv wants to portray Stolitz as hot and quirky, meanwhile Val and Angel are 100% bad. That I agree with, it’s very hypocritical of Viv to take certain themes like sexual assault seriously in HH, only to downplay it completely different in HB. Since the ask got deleted, I’ll just say my thoughts here on the Stolas and Blitz scene. So….at first yes, I was one of those people who went “Stolas is clearly drunk and not in his right mind”- when this scene came on, however I will admit that I now don’t necessarily think it’s 100% safe to say that Stolas was drunk. Sure, we see him gargle down a strong alcoholic drink, but between the time stamp there and the time he took Blitz into his room, I don’t think that’s enough time for the alcohol to fully kick in. I think it’s same to say that he was drunk either midway his and Blitz’s fuck session, or afterwards. However, wether drunk or not, Blitz was clearly in the wrong for that scene, he clearly wanted to take advantage of the situation he was in, and lured Stolas in to get to his book. It obviously wasn’t a smart decision since Stolas WOULD be drunk soon and already had strong alcohol in his system, so it only made the scene more ewey.
However, a problem I personally had with this scene altogether is that even though Blitz is the one who came onto Stolas, I still found it so weird that Stolas started the conversation with “You came here to ravish me didn’t you?” Not just that, but the fan servicey lovey dovey sparkles when he first saw Blitz.
Tumblr media
It just never made any sense to me, because when did these feelings kick off for Stolas? When did he find a sexual attraction to Blitz? Where did these feelings even STEM from? These two (at the time) have not seen in eachother in 25 years, the last time being when they were CHILDREN. Then….Stolas reunites with him, and all of a sudden is just….completely in love and lustful towards Blitz. You may go “Oh well Stolas was clearly blushing around Blitz when he met him as a child so that’s probably where the feelings came from”- but not only does that not make any sense since Stolas never SAW Blitz after that or even made the effort to contact him if he really had a strong feeling, but I don’t even SEE Stolas’s blushy scenes as him being in love. One…he’s a small child, it felt more like puppy love, and two, he clearly expresses later in the episode how happy he was that Blitz was his first friend, so that’s how I see it, he was just happy to have a friend, NOT in love. The only reason he was blushing was for fan service honestly, regardless if it made sense or not. Moving that aside, Stolas states later that he was only “teasing” about the ravishing part, but honestly…..who JOKES about that?? Who reunites with a friend they used to know years ago, and just randomly is all like “Lol, wanna fuck? Jk I’m just kidding!”. I’m nitpicking and y’all can disagree with me, but that’s personally how I feel. Then Stolas goes from that to someone who doesn’t want it, when he was acting all nervous when Blitz came onto him, and that ALSO makes no sense to me, especially when you take into consideration that Viv is clearly trying to show that Stolas feels something for Blitz, judging by the pink outline and harp music when they meet in the screenshot above. So does he love him, or does he not Viv? It also doesn’t help that the scene overall is all over the place, just like HezuNeutral had said in her critique video, the dialogue flips back and fourth, with Stolas saying he has a good memory, only for him to reveal that he doesn’t remember Blitz’s name, only to THEN show that he remembers Blitz’s name having an “O” at the end. Like…if you’re tying to show us that they barley know one another or aren’t connected anymore, why have Stolas flirt? Why have the romantic music?
But yeah, the worst of all of this is the near sex scene, where Blitz bites Stolas and that…all of a sudden attracts some strong sexual feelings, because again, where did this come from? But most importantly, Stolas admitting that he’s happy, getting off to the fact that they used to be friends, so he’s giddy someone wants him this way. Blitz then feels bad, and screws him out of pity, and the writers want us to see that Blitz is clearly taking advantage of STOLAS and his feelings. And…he is but…dear god it was such a horrible writing choice. The writers clearly did this so they can alter Stolas and Blitz’s relationship, where instead of Stolas being the one in power who wanted someone to fulfill his fantasies due to his failing unsatisfactory marriage, he’s now this “HELPLESS Uwu sad bean who fell in love with Blitz but baddy Blitz never LOVED HIM AND MADE HIM THINK HE DID!”>>😫😭
Tumblr media
And it’s all a load of bullshit, trying to make BLITZ be the one in the wrong when Stolas was the one who constantly treated him like a sex slave in the first place, and yes I get that Blitz is also a bad person who’s using Stolas as well, but for the writers to portray Blitz as the one who broke Stolas’s poor uwu heart and instead paint HIM as the victim, pisses me off. The writers cannot call Stolas out PROPERLY for the love of all things holy, and I hate how they’ll continue to excuse his actions and suck him off, portraying him as a helpless lonely bean even though in truth he’s just a selfish horny pervert who can’t take a hint that someone doesn’t like him. Everyone keeps pulling the “He doesn’t know how to love” card, so if he truly doesn’t, would you mind calling him out on that? Because just because someone doesn’t know how love works, that doesn’t excuse anything, or the way they treat someone. It’s also funny how the writers insist that Stolas gained these romantic feelings for Blitz first, when in actuality when never SEE any of that. Again, when did the feelings kick off? Off fucking screen?? I can’t with this show’s horrible storytelling, this ship just keeps going further down the drain as every episode passes and nothing the writers can say or even show me can convince me that these two should be together, wether they paint it in a completely different light or not. “The Circus” definitely retconned the ship, and “Seeing Stars” just….erased everything I guess, though I bet Viv will go back to her forced emotional more serious scenes in the next episode. Fact is, I’m just done with this ship lol, it’s toxic, it has no buildup, it’s gross, and it’s horribly written. The fans can call me homophobic and throw a baby fit on twitter for all I care, the writing for this show is ass.

I’m sorry, I just keep thinking about the Jeoff Bed & Breakfast ep we lost out on.
I’m still really satisfied w/ how the show ended, don’t get me wrong. We still got plenty of great episodes plus a fantastic ending and that’s way more than some shows get… but MAN I would have loved to see this specific lost ep.
I already wrote a whole essay on why I love the Jeoffs so much both as individuals and as a pair, but while we got plenty of great Jeoff moments in the show, seeing them open a business together would have been a great spotlight for their relationship.
Like most couples who go into business together (especially when it’s in the hospitality/customer service field), I do feel like there’d end up being some tension between them that they’d have to work through. After all, Geoff can be a bit too forgiving as well as a bit ditzy while Jeff has a bit of a temper and isn’t afraid to speak his mind, either of these traits could make for some tricky situations.
Beyond the stuff with potentially shitty customers/guests though, keeping a bed & breakfast running smoothly (especially if it serves both the living and ghosts) isn’t easy, given all the cooking and cleaning that needs to be done. As such, I feel like this would be the ep where we eventually see the Jeoff’s first real argument/fight. If you’ll forgive me for being an SU/Rupphire fan, it would essentially be their Keystone Motel (except they’d be the ones running the ‘motel’ of sorts, haha), being a true pressure test for their relationship.
But, for as much as they would likely struggle at the start, I feel like this sort of ep would also spotlight WHY they work so well as a couple and why they’ve lasted for over 100 years - this being their willingness to openly communicate with each other as well as the fact that, with a bit of restructuring, they could easily help cover each other’s weaknesses.
Seeing them come together and talk through their issues and worries before making up (in an incredibly cute and wholesome way, of course), rising to the challenge and eventually being able to say they had a successful opening weekend would be a FANTASTIC ending to what would be a really great ep imo - and throwing the McGees into the mix would no doubt make for plenty of fun jokes and scenes as well, which would help keep the ep light despite all the conflict.
So, yeah. I don’t write fanfics anymore since I’m trying to focus on my original work but- if anyone DOES want to write a fic based on this lost ep, you can bet I’ll give it a read and a kudos/comment. The show may be done, but I’m still probably gonna be looking for fun and wholesome Jeoff content for a while.

Heyy. I took a long vacation from Tumblr. But...
Have you watched Strange New Worlds? What do you think of it?
👀👀
Okay, this is going to be a bit of a long one, and there will be spoilers, so anyone who hasn’t watched SNW should probably scroll by.
Overall, I feel quite positively toward SNW. I think the characters are compelling. I’ve always wanted to know more about characters like Uhura and M’Benga, and I love that they are getting a chance to shine; I enjoyed the “fairy tale” episode. I think the cast is lovely. I love the found family aspect, and I’m really enjoying Pike as a character. (One day, I’m still hoping to meet Anson Mount because we graduated from the same tiny grad school department…maybe it’ll happen.) I hope we get more from Ortegas next season (I am, uh…very bi for her, and unexpectedly being in the same room with Melissa Navia two weeks ago was a lot). I enjoy the episodic format with some overarching ideas. I love it when I recognize the Toronto locations masquerading as alien planets.
That being said, for a show called Strange NEW Worlds, I wish it would be more adventurous, relying primarily on exploration and ideas we haven’t seen yet, rather than rehashing things that were supposed to be brand new in TOS, and in doing that making the TOS characters look naive and foolish. Discovery (another show I feel generally positive about) does that, too. Instead of the Mirror Universe being new, everyone’s been there. Instead of tribbles being unstudied, they’ve already been engineered by a Federation scientist. 
Basically, my own private joke now is that TOS Kirk just thinks he's the first Federation person to encounter these things, but really it's Starfleet or his crew planting species and phenomena in the universe's version of a sandbox, like you'd bury "treasure" for a child to find, because Kirk just gets so goshdarn cute and excited when he thinks he's made first contact.
Kirk, to Starfleet: Didja see?? I found a species called the GORN! They're new! 
Starfleet, sitting down to talks with the Gorn ambassador who's been a Federation envoy for five years: That's great, honey. Put your drawing on the fridge.
Don’t get me wrong — I love fan service, and am as susceptible to it as anyone else. In my mind, though, there’s a way to go about it. Writers of any prequel need to be careful about having the benefit of hindsight and pretending it's foresight. For example, I was initially skeptical of Spock’s arc, thinking that it would leave him far more emotionally developed and different than he was in TOS, and potentially negating his later character arc as something he had already experienced, and in more depth.
However, at the moment I’m trying to trust the writers, because I can see how Spock’s trajectory could easily lead toward him opening up, getting burned (metaphorically, not like in ep. 10), and retreating into a more Vulcan-like aspect for his next ship, having to learn to open himself up again.
I do think that they are focusing too much on Spock right now. I love Spock. I love him a lot. But I want other characters to have more of an existence outside of his periphery. I don’t want to get burnt out on Spock being the focal point of the entire universe. (Luckily, a lot of things Spock seems not to know about in TOS that he finds out about in SNW can be explained by the fact that Spock loves to obfuscate and lie.)
I am, on the other hand, genuinely uncomfortable about what the series has done with the Gorn, not because I’m a TOS purist who wants to have the aesthetic stay exactly the same — I don’t need to see a lizard in a leotard — but because, to me, making the Gorn irredeemably monstrous negates some really important messaging in Arena; maybe the Federation judged too hastily, because we knew nothing about the Gorn. Maybe relentless colonization is an issue, and seeking revenge will just beget a never-ending cycle of revenge. Maybe we should decide to make peace.
Yes, the Gorn in Arena seemed disproportionally cruel and violent, and perhaps they were. However, the point of the episode was that humans have that same capacity in them, as well, and we need to actively choose against violence.
Currently, making the Gorn a previously-known species that is essentially a mindlessly violent Alien chest-burster just doesn’t sit well with me. (Also, with all that, total missed opportunity for Sam Kirk to say something like “At least I didn’t get killed by those parasites” dun dun dun). Maybe the writers think they’re making Kirk’s choice in Arena even more powerful by making the Gorn more alien, but it’s not working for me at the moment.
I was also a little weirded out to see one of the episodes take so liberally from LeGuin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” without clear credit or even a nod. In one of the subsequent episodes, La’an tries to get out of eating one of Pike’s egg-based breakfasts; I so badly wanted him to say “Come on, don’t be the one who walks away from omelets.” (Yes, that would have been very silly. But it was right there. Well, maybe next season there will be time for Sam to get scared by a…flying pancake, dun dun dun…)
My main philosophy is this: fine to ditch the aesthetics, just keep the progressive ethics. Perfectly happy to see 60’s sexism, for example, get the boot; I just worry when other messages seem regressive. But maybe there is a long game here! 
There’s so much out there to explore, and I hope the show can trust that we’re willing to go to those completely new places.

Hi stun, how's it going? I saw your tags about how you've been having dreams about roulxs, and as a roulxs kaard fan I wanted to hear your thoughts on them! If this wasn't actually about roulxs kaard or you just don't want to talk about this, I'll totally get it, and either way I hope you have a lovely day!
HAHA lol rouxls has like. infected my brain recently and i have no clue why. he makes me feel like that one tweet about fantasizing about hitting the pig from chicken little with a truck, he’s just so interesting to me. he’s literally just awful at everything and i love that about him so much. everything about him just makes me want to grab him by the shoulders and violently shake him like WHY ARE YOU LIKE THAT… i would love for him to become a more serious character in the narrative but honestly i’m fine with him staying a primarily joke character (although that may just be the fact that i dislike a lot of “what if rouxls became a serious character” takes… he’s not some sort of mastermind with a grand plan im sorry he’s just not. that’s just pushing him into something he is literally not that’s not rouxls). i think one of my favorite things about him is his desperation for an “evil ruler” to be a minion to because like… it’s just so interesting given how ralsei talks about darkners primary purpose is to be in service of the lighteners. wish i could better express the comparison there but i hope it makes a little bit of sense @_@ but yeah i just think he’s a great character- he’s so fun to just watch him exist in his horrible fucked up way and theorize about why the hell he’s like that. plus hes super fun to draw, even if trying to figure out how his face works gives me a headache (why does he only have a nose from the side whats the thing on his mouth supposed to be whats WRONG with him)
also, wrt the dreams, i don’t remember my rouxls dreams that well but i DO remember one of them was like… him causing a time loop? or something? unfortunately a lot of my dreams that i have about characters are more like… spamton goes on vacation with my family than they are actual interesting stories JKFDSJK 
but yeah i just love him a lot i think. want to throw large rocks at him. if they ever make a rouxls plush i am going to webkins milk cat him.

You know i feel like a part of the reason the manga falls a bit flat to me is the fact many themes just dont get carried through.
Well, its more accurate to say they don’t get build up.
Quirkless discrimination and quirk discriminatiom in general? Certain characters talk about it but we don’t see it perpetuated in UA or other heroes in general after the characters backstory.
Like we are told through monoma and shinsou and midoriya that you are discriminated against by your quirks or lack there of. But we dont get to hear any of class 1-A talk about their experienxe despite many of them having ‘useless’ or ‘villanous quirks’. Hell we dont even see any quirkist attitudes portrayed by the class or other heroes. Its hard to see quirkism as an in universe issue if no one from the main cast seems to hold those beliefs even though they should. (Ans that does mean the narrative acknowledging theyre wrong and not skimming over them). (Like its never acknowledged that bakugou may be quirkist at all by other characters even though he should still have those beliefs)
Incidentilly, it makes it hard to related to our villians if we dont have anyone explicitly acknowledge that shared experience. It also undermines midoriya’s character as that shift from his treatement as quirkless to a powerful wuirk should have gotten more focus. Its a massive social shift and im surprised there arent instances someone says something about quirklessness since he was bullied for it extensively so it must be something people have an opinion about.
Same issue with corruption in society. It was shoe-horned with stain and lady nagant so we never see the consequences or people perpetuating corruption. We dont have ant corrupt heroes so we dont know anything about the scalw of it.
We are routinely told issues but we rarely see the lasting consequences of it.
Mt Lady and Uwambi being primarily going after media attention isnt addressed much beyond fan service. Theyre still good heroes so it feels that the celebrity aspect doesnt impact them.
Endeavour being overly violent ( and also bakugou) isnt never addressed as a negative trait often enough. So we dknt see any consequences of how being overly violent could cause the corruption pf society to fester. We only have the liscensing exam address this and its treated as a joke and not a major issue.
The world feels underdeveloped in mha. So many things that should affect society not getting shown and its consequences properly addresses. And it ends up dragging the characters down with it as well.
Long Anon is back! Glad you didn’t get eaten by the snake demon! (Or I think it’s you? Be weird if I got two anons that have long asks. Pleasant but odd.)
But you hit on a key flaw in the manga’s writing; it tells you that certain things are happening but hardly ever shows it.
We see a bit of quirkless discrimination at the start of the manga but it never pops up again. (Unless you count All Might’s belief that the world has to believe he was born powerful.) So, that suggests that Izuku wasn’t picked on because he was quirkless, but because everyone was sucking up to Bakagou. We don’t even get flashbacks of anyone other than Bakagou picking on Izuku for not having a quirk. (Okay, Bakagou’s lackies but they only acted when Bakagou was around from what we’ve seen.)
We’re told that mutants are discriminated against, however, we never see it. Even with side materials, the worst we’re shown is that the world hasn’t made a lot of accommodations for larger mutants. Which sucks but keep in mind quirks have only been around for a handful of generations and a LOT of things need to be handled. However, there have been scenes that show that the world is trying to pick up the slack. (Though I don’t have it on me right now, I will be tackling this when I can.) The worst we’ve seen in the story of discrimination against mutants is when Shinsou called Ojiro a monkey, that’s all I can recall.
Speaking of Shinsou, his whole character is built around the fact that he’s struggling to be a hero because he has a quirk others deem villainous. But aside from one scene where some kids are being condescending assholes we never see this. We see people requesting he not use it on them and with good reason; despite the fact it makes others uncomfortable, Shinsou is very trigger-happy with his quirk, so they have to ask him. And when I say "uncomfortable," I mean that they don’t like losing control of their bodies or not remembering what they did, not that they’re scared of it. In fact, we never see Shinsou ostracized for his quirk, quite the opposite. We see everyone stating how awesome his quirk is and how they think he’ll an excellent hero. Because of this, it’s annoying when he goes on about how he could never be a hero because of his quirk.
Most irritating thing? There was an easy way to fit it in! At the Sports festival, have some of the heroes state that Shinsou’s quirk is creepy. Then when he’s doing his test with Class A and B, the teen could have flashbacks to others calling him a villain in his old school. Not only would the latter help us to sympathize more with Shinso, but it would have made the compliments he got mean so much more.
As is though, it looks like the only condemning Shinsou is Shinsou. (He reminds me of Goob from “Meet the Robinsons.”) The only reason he didn’t get into the hero course was that he was out of shape. If an invisible girl with no other strengths and Ojiro who is basically normal except for having a fluffy tail could get in, then he could have too. Honestly, it feels like he’s just ignoring actual obstacles and focusing on a made-up one in his head.
Monoma—sorry, even though I like him, my mind is mostly blank. I do recall that from what we’ve seen he’s one the best fighters against Class 1-A, even going toe-to-toe with Bakagou and nearly winning. I don’t recall more than a throwaway line that he says addressing the fact he was discriminated against.
As for the heroes—again, we’re told that they’re as bad as the villains, but while we’ve seen the hero’s commission acting iffy, we haven’t seen any heroes take advantage of their position of power or do anything bad. There are only two exceptions; 
One is Hawks, who killed Twice. However, it can be argued that he had a right to as Twice was a known criminal part of a terrorist organization, and killing him was for the greater good as his quirk could have been used to hurt a lot of innocent people. And then there’s Endeavor, who is shown to be a very, very shitty father and a husband who should do jail time for his abuse, but is still a decent hero who does his job and protect lives. And—unlike others—he acknowledges his crimes and makes no excuses. He takes full blame and doesn’t ask anyone to forgive him. Rather, he states that he wants to earn it if he can’t. He even acknowledges that in some cases he might not be able to do so, but even then he still tries to do what’s right.
So, to reiterate the manga is terrible at showing, not telling. And even with the telling most of it is done in one-line lines. This is a big deal as all of these are major things for plots and characters. If you’re going to introduce stuff like this, you need to have solid evidence. As of now we just have he said, she said, they said.

Where is that Katie essay? Katie with a huge soft heart, and lots of big feelings.
it's still the same anon who REALLY needs a MUNA friend, brainwashing failed on all their friends
Okay Katie mini essay time because i was on a train for an hour 🥲 and also I love Katie sm hold on I went on a ramble-
Note that this is a lighthearted personality analysis because I related to Katie from what we see of her outward personality, no harm meant in this <3
So I’ve watched like every Muna interview ever and the way Katie talks is very personable. She tries to be funny and open and it’s hard sometimes because muna’s dynamic is so close that the way they talk is like hard for interviewers to read?? So she’s always like trying to make jokes land and translate their silly Muna language and it’s so cute 😭 and they love to banter with interviewers too my favourite was “do you want to switch pants?”
I do find Katie can be hard on themself a lot like. In the way they’re perceived. It happens a lot in interviews again and I think is played off in that joking way ( “I’m so problematic” or “no fuck me”) when she misreads a situation with Naomi (usually them but sometimes with Jo) or a guest and think she’s said something wrong? Like I notice she wants to joke around but then notices something she said may have been Not Right and has to take steps back to make sure everything is okay and asks a lot of questions to be sure she didn’t do something wrong. I think she’s like Julien in that way where they don’t wanna be perceived in the wrong way or have what they say taken out of context or misunderstood.
But like in terms of how loving Katie is oh my god, there’s so much to unpack here? First of all look at her lyrics. The way she writes says a lot about what she wants to put out into the world and it’s so beautiful to me to see how it’s evolved over time too and also how her interpretation of her lyrics has changed throughout performances. Some lyrics that really hit me have always been:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Clearly I have a bias to About U
But like yeah her lyrics definitely show how hard she feels emotions and how she has learned to channel them and bro I could hyperanalyze every Muna song if you asked me to tbh but I won’t do that here because I will be insufferable lmao
Going back to her being personable, the way she interacts with guests and friends on gayotic and in other situations shows how she loves and how much she loves I think? Like the way she talks to people and jokes around with guests and interviews like they’d been talking for ages. Katie is definitely a person who wants to be like In Charge of the interview 😭 I’ve noticed this with gayotic she really wants to lead conversations and it’s funny but she still does her best to give the floor to others and listen attentively and ask questions and that clearly means a lot to her which I think is a love language in itself. She loves telling stories and relating to people she’s talking to, like with franki or other friends they’ve had on gayotic she’s always so excited to share good memories and it clearly makes her so happy to share those with fans 🥺 she loves her friends dude
She’s also just really physically affectionate, which we knew was coming ofc. Sometimes she just gets distracted in interviews and almost kisses Jo which is funny I can never tell if it’s a bit or just the urge to kiss Jo (valid). Her holding Naomi’s hand during interviews when she knows she’s going to say something that’ll annoy them 😭😭. She seeks out physical touch sometimes during interviews, she’ll lean a bit closer to the others every so often or do the joking kiss thing. Katie also seems the most inclined out of all of them to use pet names for her friends like baby/honey and this is adorable, she calls Jo baby a lot especially when they get flustered on podcasts/by cameras. Boygenius gets hugs on and off stage every interaction of course, and I genuinely don’t think it’s for fan service. There’s a difference in the way Katie dances with phoebe during silk and the way she hugs her when she first comes on stage. Flirty stage presence Katie versus excited to see her friend Katie methinks. And the hug and head kiss she gave Julien after last night’s performance looks almost like a comforting thing, especially considering how shy jb used to be during silk performances?? And she hugs Lucy so tight every time it’s so sweet. She just loves those boys like she loves Naomi and Jo :(
I just think that Katie Gavin has a whole lot of love to give the world and they show it as outwardly as they possibly can because there isn’t nearly enough love in this world as is

holy shit im so glad theres level headed gilmore girls fans who dont actively hate everything about the show and choose the worst bad faith interpretations of every action the (female) characters make then justify their unnecessary unproductive negativity by going "uhhhh we can enjoy something and be critical of it!!!" my dude you do not enjoy this i can tell how insanely high your blood pressure is through the screen. the subreddit is horrible and theres this one site that does recaps written by someone who does nothing but complain about every harmless action (in a way that clearly attempts to be funny while just coming across as that person who thinks they can just be mean if they add an ITS A JOKE disclaimer somewhere sometime) (also does outfit reviews that end up just being an excuse to make fun of the actresses' bodies but blaming wardrobe for being "unflattering" and its like, a plain normal shirt). at some point it does stand out to me how all of these people are convinced this show has the worst most insufferable characters ever while in the end just proving they are the worst most insufferable tv watchers ever... something pot something kettle. anyway sorry for the rant i just could not believe such a great show (and yes it is infuriating at times no i do not think its a flaw for the most part, its a feature) could have such an unbelievably mean spirited perception by the very people who claim to love it most. anyway rory did nothing wrong and when she did its fine.
LMFAO GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE but seriously you’re so so right. i avoid places like the subreddit at all costs because they’re built on negativity. i will never understand the mindset of considering yourself a “fan” of something when all you do is criticise it and bash every single character for their mistakes. the people who do that about gg have completely missed the entire point of the show, which is that you get so engrossed in the characters and their dynamics that you forget it’s not real. they’re not real people, it’s not real drama, but it’s written so well and the characters are so three dimensional (meaning they have good traits as well as bad ones) that sometimes it feels like watching reality TV. anyway, i will never trust people who don’t like rory <3

Howdy moon :D
Soooo I’ve never got my own matchup so I’m veeeery excited to read who u gonna match me up with x3
Somehow I wrote much more than I expected to write and I’m so so sorry for that!
About my look, I’m 5'8 I have long dirty blond hair and blue/green eyes and I’m chubby but I also have muscles but you can’t see them cause I always wear baggy clothes + people always assume I’m underage (I’m not lol)
But back to the important informations.
I’m an introvert but warm up to people pretty quick, well, like at least I can talk to them but there’s still this uneasy feeling running trough every single fiber of my body.
I don’t really mind crowds but if I can avoid them I do + I always keep an eye of my surrounding no matter where, because I’m better be safe than sorry.
I’m very loyal and protective over my friends and family and I would do anything for them.
I also never use the term “goodbye” and only “we see us later” cause I’ve lost someone really important to me and since then I’m terrified of losing another person.
I always make plans for my plans just to be safe that if Plan A,B,C and D doesn’t work that I still have a plan E, F, G- and following …
I only trust my best friend to 100% and even though people always say I trust to easily and that I’m naive don’t know that they are terrible wrong cause in reality I always keep in mind that everyone could betray me.
Most of the time I also try to hide my “bad” feelings like sadness or when I’m scared, especially when I have an anxiety attack because I don’t want people to see me as weak, stupid I know.
I also used to hate myself a lot because of bullying when I was younger but eventually I’ve got over it and found peace with the old me.
Normally I’m pretty calm but tend to get a bit over excited/ hyper active when I’m with my best friend (he’s my safe place)
I also like to mother my friends, because just to care for them makes me happy but on the same side I love to get cared for, and if I feel protected and safe I can let my guard down.
I also can be pretty stupid from time to time, for example I don’t realize if someone’s flirting with me and somehow they always say I flirt with them too, I do not ;-; xD
My love languages are quality time, physical touch, words of affirmation and acts of services. I’m also quite touchy, I like to touch and get touched by people I like and I LOVE cuddles.
(Idk if it’s relevant but I only feel attached to men that seem strong, not in the body way but in their personality, I need someone who’s able to let me feel safe and protected.)
To my hobbies
I love to cook, to listen to music (my fav song is safe and sound by Taylor swift), to swim (I really love the sea 0-0) and play to video games.
Again I’m really really sorry and thank you so much for reading ;-; <33
Hello friend !! I’m super excited to write this for you, especially since you’ve never gotten one before!!! Anyways, I hope you enjoy :D
I match you with….
Tumblr media
John “Soap” MacTavish
Let me start out by saying.. This man would absolutely adore you the second he gets to see your true personality! You’d definitely catch him with your looks first, he’d be the one to walk up and start talking to you.. But once he sees how amazing you are personality wise, you’d have the man trapped. Honestly, the first time you make a joke with him, he’d give you the biggest, most idiotic grin.
Soap would catch onto you not being the biggest fan of crowds fairly quick. He’d secretly test it out first by bringing you on missions to large areas, once he notices how “extra aware” you get, he’d make sure avoid them with you <3 Or, if you really have to, he’d offer you his hand or arm to hold with a gentle, playful even, smile. (He’d give you a playful little nickname like Guard Dog or something since you’re always aware of your surroundings.)
Just know that whenever you’re on missions with MacTavish, he’s never letting you out of his sight. He’d constantly ask if you’re alright or if theres anything you need, immediately stopping to help you if you do need something. Soap is always thankful to have you with him though, if something goes wrong he knows you have a backup plan! But… He’d much rather keep you safe and away from missions whenever he possibly can. So once he comes back, expect him to shower you with affection and cuddles >:D
Your loyalty goes both ways, since you’re always there for Soap, he’s always going to be there for you ! He’s your golden retriever bf, by your side whenever he possibly can be and will do whatever he possibly needs to in order to keep you safe <3 Since he knows that you have trust issues, he’d work his hardest to prove himself worthy. The man has lots of determination (and might also be a bit stubborn) so, if he has to, he’ll spend months just getting close enough with you to trust him <3
Soap might not be the best with comforting people, but whenever he notices something off, he’ll be the first to ask if theres anything he can do to help. MacTavish would bring you to a quieter or more serene spot before sitting down with you and making sure you’re alright, cuddling and talking to you in order to take your mind off of whatever had been bugging you or calm you down. Although his jokes are quite bad, he’ll tell them to you just to give you some sort of distraction. Soap would make sure you know he doesn’t see your negative emotions as stupid. He’d actually encourage you to tell him when you’re feeling scared or anxious, immediately comforting you after.
THIS MAN WOULD ADORE YOUR SILLY SIDE!!! The first time he sees you hyper he might be a little shocked, he’s not used to it since you’re usually quite calm.. His eyes would get wide before he breaks into the biggest idiotic grin you’ve ever seen. MacTavish would join in with you by telling terrible jokes or teasing you with playful little comments or winks. Soap is quite oblivious sometimes too, if you really are trying to flirt with him it may go over his head the first time :,)
The fact that you have a motherly side would make this man absolutely melt. Seeing you help others and smile just because you know you were able to do something good makes Soap weak in the knees. If you look over your shoulder you’ll see him practically staring into your soul, a gentle little loving smile on his face. Once you get back to him, he will not hesitate to shower you in affection and mumble sweet little things about how caring you are <3 Like I said, since you’re there for him, he’ll always be there to protect you and provide you even just a little comfort.
I said it before but I’ll say it again, Soap adores cuddling you !!! Your love languages go hand in hand, he loves giving you affection and he loves getting affection <3 With quality time?? He’d spend every free second he has by your side ! He wants to make sure his favourite person is safe and happy ofc ! Acts of service goes both ways for you two too, if theres anything you need, he’ll do it without hesitation.
MacTavish would be ecstatic if he had the opportunity to cook with you ! He’d of course be there to help, but don’t blame him if he takes a few seconds just to step back and admire you as you work. He’d be so excited to taste whatever you two had made once its finished, giving you a twinkly eyed grin and some sort of sappy compliment. Oh, and don’t worry about the dishes, he’s got you covered >:D
With music, Soap will gladly listen to whatever song has you in a chokehold for the week. He’ll give you a thumbs up as he listens to it and proceeds to hurriedly add it onto a playlist (yes he has a playlist of songs you like). Hes also the type to sit there and expectantly stare at you as you listen to one of his favourite songs, immediately asking what you think of it once its over.
Pool date?? Absolutely?? Just as a warning, this man will show off his dives (even if they aren’t exactly the most stunning). He’s very confident that he’s actually a pro diver. If you show off something?? Soap would make everyone turn and look because of how loud hes cheering you on. Of course, besides the swimming and most likely some sort of water gun fight, Soap would adore just sitting beside the water with you <3 (If you’re at the beach he’s definitely planning some sort of picnic for the two of you)
AAA VIDEO GAME DATES- He’d absolutely set up two consoles or pcs next to each other so you can sit together and completely destroy other teams in fps’. I hate to say this.. but when this man isn’t being silly with you on some game, he’s extremely competitive- Instead of getting mad and leaving, he’ll start cackling like a madman and throw lighthearted insults (full insults when someone makes you mad at the game). Of course when you’re not being competitive, he’s always up to play some Stardew Valley with you and build an adorable little farm <3
Other Possibilities: Alejandro, Gaz
There you go friend!! I really hope you enjoy :D!!

EVANESCENCE's AMY LEE On Split With JEN MAJURA: 'Sometimes You Have To Listen To The Universe'
Tumblr media
EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee has opened up about the recent departure of guitarist Jen Majura, explaining that "sometimes you have to listen to the universe."
Majura's exit from EVANESCENCE was announced in late May, with the band saying in a statement that " we have decided it's time to go our separate ways."
EVANESCENCE's new lineup includes Emma Anzai of SICK PUPPIES on bass and EVANESCENCE's longtime bassist Tim McCord on guitar.
Amy addressed EVANESCENCE's split with Jen in a new interview with Revolver magazine. Speaking about the band's new lineup, she said: "I am so happy, we are all so, so grateful. Emma Anzai is from the band SICK PUPPIES and we are old friends. We toured together in 2007 and she's just an excellent musician. We're all fans of her and just fits us on a personal level really well.
"We did a little European run in June and then we did a few shows here and had our first photo shoot with the new lineup just two weeks ago," she continued. "Some things are just meant to be. Something I'm getting better at as I get older is not trying to control everything so much. Sometimes you just sort of have to listen to the universe and what's going on and go, 'You know what? Okay, I need to live in the reality of what's happening now and make something great out of it instead of constantly trying to pull things the way I think they ought to go.'
"It's hard to explain what I'm saying without being specific. And we all love Jen; we had a great time with Jen. [I] don't want to make it like it's anything negative there. But sometimes that chapter just ends, and when you feel that and you know that as a band, that's how you keep things going. That's how you keep your team, your band, and everything healthy and moving the way it's supposed to move. It's complicated but at the same time you just need to follow your heart. At the end of the day, when you follow your heart and trust each other, you can move forward into a better place than you could've imagined for.
"This is big time new for us because I've had Tim on bass for 16 years and for the first time he is on guitar, which is fantastic," Lee added. "It's his original instrument, he's great on it, he gets into that position when we're in the writing room a lot. And Emma is just this amazing, seamless ... it's just amazingly cool and the other guys are just thrilled with it as well. We're all really happy right now, we're in a healthy new chapter moment. Those are always really energizing, so we've got a lot of energy and are feeling inspired and excited for the future."
In late June, Majura discussed her exit from EVANESCENCE during an appearance on THE HAUNTED guitarist Ola Englund's YouTube show "Coffee With Ola". At the time she said that she was "still in shock, kind of, because after being married six years, all of a sudden you're divorced."
Asked how she found out that her services were no longer needed in EVANESCENCE, Jen said: "Honestly, I was cleaning my apartment, and I got the phone call. And first of all, I was, like, 'Is this a bad joke?' And I remember, after I got the news, I hung up, and I have this hallway in between my studio and my living room, and I just lay there on the floor, staring at the ceiling, wondering what that was, and literally looking over to my suitcase that I had already started packing, because I was two weeks from going out on the road until pretty much the end of the year."
Asked by Ola if she was "okay" with the fact that her tenure with EVANESCENCE had come to an end, Jen said: "I'm hurt. I'm hurt and still in this blurry confusion of what just happened." But she added: "I'm getting there. Like I said, it would be wrong of me if I would play the 'hey, I'm totally okay' Jen. It's tough. And like I said, I'm still not great. But I'm getting there every day with tiny little things that make life beautiful."
Majura, a self-described "half-Asian living in Germany," joined EVANESCENCE in August 2015 as the replacement for Terry Balsamo.
Majura has released two solo albums thus far, 2014's "Jen Majura" and 2017's "InZENity".
Last year, EVANESCENCE released "The Bitter Truth", its first album in 10 years.
EVANESCENCE has just kicked off a U.S. tour with KORN.
