#no u have expectations of a movie/show to entertain u and there are parts

[arckhaic]

idk what im saying but i just think hating on a piece of media bc it's been made into a different form ( specifically book into a movie / show / play / etc ) is so limiting ... like ur not any better bc you hold the opinion that the book is better than show and picking it apart to show the differences only the proves the point that they're Two Different Pieces of Media ... interpretations aren't inherently bad they're just different

you can enjoy them both

𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿. itoshi sae x m!reader x itoshi rin

𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. top!reader, amab reader, bottom!sae, bottom!rin, use of the word "ni-chan", incest, anal sex, blowjob, masturbation, threesome. minors dni.

𝗮/𝗻. yes I can! I'm happy to help the number of male!reader grow in the blue lock fandom. and thank you all for your kind words, I know life doesn't stop and I'm trying to find a way to deal with my loss. This turned out to be longer than planned, but I hope you like it.

Sae and Rin have always been attached to you, following you around, wanting your attention, drowning in every display of affection. Over time, your younger sibling duo stopped working together to be good to you, and as their relationship deteriorated, Sae and Rin began to compete for your attention, silently fighting each other for you, for your love. It started discreetly; Sae would bring you to one of his matches, and once at home Rin would pull you to his room, trying to entertain you with a movie or conversation. Rin would give you your favorite foods from his plate and Sae would surprise you by making your favorite dish for lunch. Innocent, pure. Then it got worse. Rin would give you a hug whenever he could and Sae would give you a kiss. Touches increased as their competition got worse and you didn't had much time to question when one of your younger siblings wanted to sneak up on your lap or sleep in your bed for the night.

One day, a jealous Rin had pulled you away from Sae's arms who was trying to take you to his room and surprising the three of you, slammed his lips onto yours in a sloppy kiss. Sae was the one who separated you two. You expected a rant or a sharp line of how disgusting and wrong that was, instead you were greeted by another kiss, this time Sae thrusting his tongue into your mouth, despite Rin's saliva still wetting your lips. That's when you realized that in addition to football, it was for you that the two competed.

A part of your brain reminded you that these were your brothers and you should push them away and talk some sense into their heads. The other part reminded you that those were your brothers and that was nothing more than their way of showing how much they loved you. You just didn't expect that letting the kiss go and acting like it was something normal would only make things escalate, and not only that, that you would like this new face of your relationship so much.

Kissing became a routine and Rin and Sae pressed their lips to yours whenever they could. They didn't do it in front of people who knew about your parentage and that's how you knew they knew what they were doing. Kisses became touches; hands on your arms, on your legs, then one of your brothers always invading your shower, not ashamed to see you naked and eventually, erections became common whenever something like that happened. You couldn't help it, Rin and Sae were both attractive and there was something hot about them wanting to be as intimate with you as possible.

In a way, it was your fault that your relationship became what it is today. You were the one who got instantly hard when Sae snuck into your bed one night, body warm against yours and smooth legs exposed by shorts finding a place between yours. You were the one who made it clear that you were awake, putting your arm around Sae's slim waist and pulling him closer. You were the one who asked him to kiss you, teeth and tongues, knowing he would never refuse. And when your bodies got hot and bothered, erections pressed together and breaths muffled, you were the one who asked permission to take off his shorts and touched your little brother's hard, wet cock. The moan Sae let out was sinful, cock twitching against your hand, killing the conscience in your head, you brought his hand to your erection and taught him how to jerk you off and didn't stop moving until the mixed semen was staining the sheets.

You were also the one who surprised Rin after a game won by dropping to your knees on his bedroom floor and giving him his first blowjob. Rin had made the most beautiful noises, legs shaking as he tried to stay on his feet, gripping your shoulders as rocked his hips nonstop, coming embarrassingly fast. And on Sae's birthday it was yours idea to give a present that no one else would be able to and after showering him with words of love and sweet kisses, stretched him leisurely and under the bright stars in the night sky, slid your cock inside him through the first time. A year later it was Rin's turn and you made love to him as slow and smooth as you had with Sae.

They competed for you yes, but you found it was easy to get them to get along with you among them, they didn't want to make you unhappy.

"[name]... focus." Sae's voice snapped you out of your stupor. Blinking a few times, you returned your attention to the image in front of you, regaining your grip on Rin's slim waist. Rin was lying beautifully on his back to you, back flushed and making muffled noises of pleasure every time your cock returned inside him. Sae was leaning against the headboard, naked, playing with his nipples with the right hand, the left tangled in Rin's hair as fucked his mouth.

"Be careful with him," you warned, hands coming up to caress Rin's pretty back.

Sae scoffed, pushing his hips against Rin's mouth hard just to piss you off. Rin gasped audibly, nails digging hard into Sae's thigh.

"He's not made of glass, he won't break."

You leaned over Rin, the movement made your cock shift inside him, making his thighs tremble against the sheets and you reached for Sae's hand, releasing his grip on Rin's head. Rin immediately caught breath, eyes watering as he let out a low moan, hand gripping your arm resting close to his head as he took a deep breath.

"Don't be a brat with me, Sae."

"Ni-chan," Rin whimpered, voice cracking as you stopped, cock head perfectly grazing his prostate. "Continues."

"One minute, love."

Sae rolled his eyes at this, pulling the hand away, spittle-covered hard cock against his taut stomach, red head spilling pre-cum.

"As soon as I'm done with Rin I'll deal with you. You better get that lube and start stretching your ass if you don't want to get hurt," you spat. "I won't go easy on you."

Returning to your previous position, you turned Rin around before grabbing his lean hips and pushing your cock back inside him, resuming your previous rhythm. Gritting your teeth, you tried to tear your eyes away from Sae's smug expression, struggling not to be too hard on Rin under you. Sae was the one deserving of punishment there, not Rin. Rin only deserved rewards, as the good boy he was. You tried to remember that even as Sae reached for the lube and started to make a show of spreading herself with deft fingers, your cock twitching inside Rin's tight hole.

Random Discourse about Sakura and women:

Anime community especially MEN is wack pls I’m begging y’all just say u hate women and MOVE ON it’s getting EMBARRASSING how blatant misogyny is showing or just watch the BARBIE 2023 movie (aka feminism/the patriarchy broken down in the simplest terms possible) 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️‼️‼️

I’m an adult woman and have broken down my internalized misogyny that plagued me as a child in the anime community aka I got over the whole “Sakura is useless” thing which was lowkey funny 10 years ago but is NOW very much giving off hating women vibes.

Like as an adult I can wholeheartedly say that I do not expect men to be able to write female characters properly. Hence as a baseline all female characters r automatically considered “cool” until they prove otherwise bc ik for a fact that their faults r due to the author. Especially in anime where we’ve seen over and over again how female characters lack where their male counterparts prosper. (I’m an anthropology student and I very much want to write a dissertation on sexual repression/misogyny in Japanese culture bc I recently visited and YIKES but that’s irrelevant rn lol).

It’s very much disappointed but not surprised and I will say that in the Shounen category it’s gotten a lot better (such as chainsaw man✨chefs kiss✨ or JJK) where female characters are just like the protagonist aka normal ppl without the whole tsundere archetype that’s automatically assigned to female characters (I cannot help but think that archetype was created by men’s lack of comprehension of women eventually turning into comedic violence. Which in a meta viewpoint means that women have to be physically strong/inhibit violence in order to be a “strong” character/stand beside their male counterpart. Which is just untrue and annoying god I hate that archetype). There’s definitely been an improvement of women just being goofy and unhinged and I love that (once again Power), and I can’t help but think that Naruto was probably a big influence in that.

Say what u will about the series but Naruto was definitely a pioneer/classic archetypes for modern shounen. My babygirl Sasuke is the OG angsty-dark haired boy in a trio ft the MC and main girl, the traumatized aloof teacher, tournament arcs, etc. Part of that influence is also learning from the mistakes of the series, specifically the most prominent female character aka learning to write women from Kishimoto’s mistakes.

Idk I feel like it’s just so hard to be a woman and watch anime only bc the female characters are so lacking most of the time. Once again there have been improvements but it feels like we’re doing a “congrats u’ve done the bare minimum” or there’s themes of feminism/foreshadowing development but that’s basically dropped. For example: BNHA all the girls in 1-A have the exact same personality (minus Jirou). They’re all cheerful, bubbly, nice and it’s not bad it’s just fucking BORING like it would’ve been a lot more entertaining to have a somewhat female Bakugo or even Mirko-like personality in the class. Or ooooh give me a misunderstood MEAN GIRL (Ao No Flag QUEEN MAMI I LOVE HER SO MUCH‼️😩😩). In BNHA in the beginning there was definitely the theme of treatment of female heroes that was gonna be set up but dropped. Ex: Momo being sexualized (another discourse), Bakugo vs Uraraka and how Bakugo was being booed for not holding back on a girl, etc….

“Sakura is useless” = “blank is a better love story than Twilight” in my head….truly just say u hate teenage girls/ANY activity girls enjoy (I will never forgive ppl for making fun of girls for buying hydro flasks) and move on the conversation is tiring and BORING. Aka I love Twilight UNIRONICALLY and ironically like 7th grade me was a die hard STAN and I love that about myself which made living thru the active 2012 twilight era painful. Even my king Robert Pattinson said hating twilight isn’t cool anymore 🫡🫡🫡

Flashfoward I think I’m more than qualified to say that to ME Sakura is just okay. I will argue there’s only 4 well written female characters in Naruto (TSUNADE, KONAN, Karin and Kushina). Like even if I wasn’t a diehard SNS shipper I feel like overall she’s just aight, once again I’m kinda just neutral on her bc she’s just kinda there up until that ridiculous war arc that I semi refuse to believe exists. I have OPINIONS on the whole “new age Sannin/Team 7 dynamic” that everyone loves but feels like lazy writing.

Not saying anything to fanfic writers or Sakura Stans bc y’all do u, but I feel like it says a lot in a sad way how Sakura is shipped with every single male character in the series or how in fanfic she’s given Mokutan or part of a clan (which admittedly is very fun to think about). I can’t help but feel that she’s such a blank slate that u really CAN ship her with every character and it would somehow work. For example: could you do that to someone like Sasuke? I mean if ur a talented enough writer than SLAY but for the most part Sasuke has such a defined personality and VALUES that it’s HARD. Or Sakura is born into a clan and given a cool jutsu (which kinda disregards the point of her character: being one of the only Civilian born kids/normal person in her whole class thrown into the terrible and cruel world of Naruto and having to actually work to even SURVIVE not to mention trying to “catch up” to an Uchiha and the 9 tails). Once again fanfic writers you do you I’ll eat that shit up no cap LOL

This post was originally a crack post but turned into a discourse of women in anime LMAOO anyways here’s the actual post:

I am CONVINCED every fandom has a self insert character like for Naruto it’s SAKURA bc the way she’s shipped with EVERY character is so funny (where do y���all come up with MADARA AND SAKURA LIKE WHAT SHSJSKKSKKSK)

Like omg in Game of Thrones it’s totallyyyy JON or Sansa (which kinda makes me sad bc they’re both super unhinged in the books esp Jon mans is basically the teenage manager of the worst McDonald’s in Alaska like his POVs r sooo funny and melodramatic)

In Tokyo Rev it’s Takemichi bc how is he a cannon folder in his own anime 😭😭😭 or maybe it’s bc everyone is horny that they gotta be Takemichi to get with one of the boys in fanfic LOLL😵‍💫😵‍💫

[chicspo]

hey lolaaa, it’s the anon that asked advice for being curious about the boy in my class despite being in a serious 2 year relationship. i wanted to update you and hear your thoughts on everything lol. :) ♡

after a lot of thinking, i wasn’t sure how good of an idea it was to risk everything i have with my bf, but i also realized that it wouldn’t kill to get to know him either and maybe even just befriend him. he stayed back after class to ask the professor a question that i knew i could help with. i didn’t think much of it, but i privately messaged him on canvas what he had to do. although i didn’t get a response, i bumped into him after tutoring and stopped to ask him if he got my message, and he was like, “wait where? i don’t have whatsapp. my dad doesn’t let me have whatsapp.” 😭 i told him everything he needed to know and we parted ways. i was studying alone in the library and he was with his friends on the other side of the library, but he tried to get my attention and waved at me, gesturing me to come over. i came over and he asked me, “why are you sitting alone? you can join, if you’d like” and he pulled a chair over for me to sit next to him. i didn’t do much talking bc i really wanted to know more about him. thankfully, he’s a yapper, which made me more comfortable. he said so many things, but i found out he’s younger by 2 years (explains why his dad is so strict and he has no social media lol). he’s not even supposed to be in college yet, but got in because he’s highly intelligent, along with his friends. we had the next class together, so he walked with me to there and asked more about me. during class, i constantly saw him glancing at me in the corner of my eye despite us not being in the same group or table. he doesn’t even sit near me, but at the end of class, i saw him stand behind my seat. he waited for my guy friend to leave to ask me for my # and played it off by saying, “hey, i wanted to ask you for your # just in case my group and i had questions.” i gave him my # and didn’t really expect him to text me. he texted me the day after about the class, but then just started talking to me about random things about 3D printing, movies, shows, interests, etc. he did open up to me emotionally about his dad has having a role in his depression, which i appreciated that he felt comfortable enough with to me share.

all in all, i always thought of him as a bright, energetic, and talkative person. talking to him more made me realize that despite having more time for growth bc he’s still maturing and young, there’s more layers to him. we also don’t really have too many things in common, sadly, but i think it’s nice that he shares little to bigger details with me. he did briefly say he was talking to someone too though. ironically, i’m not sure if i took it too well, but i’m working on knowing my self worth and not to get too attached. if anything, i’ll just wing it and maybe entertain it, but nothing too crazy. anyway, thank you so much for always listening. i know it’s a lot, but i appreciate your time, always. love you sm, hope you’re having a good day. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

omgggg well anyway hes younger so it couldnt really go anywhere. but see how going for it and getting to know him diluted any doubts u had? its better now that u know

Fake Relationship:

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

Olive kisses Dr. Carlsen, a hotshot professor known for being a jerk. They come to an agreement and both use each other. They begin fake dating, but soon it becomes real. I LOVED this book. Olive was super funny, clumsy, and low-key relatable. I liked Dr. Carlsen too. The reader gets to see his POV and wow plot twist (even if it was a bit expected). Olive and Dr. Carlsen are meant to be!

The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas

Catalina needs a date to her sister’s wedding especially since she lied about having a boyfriend. Her ex-boyfriend and his fiancee both want to meet this made up boyfriend. Catalina’s colleague Aaron offers to help her even though Calatina hates him. Aaron ends up being the best option and acts as her boyfriend to the wedding. This is a cute book! The characters are perfect for each other as well. I loved the storyline in general, and enjoyed reading this book. 

The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams

Bree and Nathan are best friends. Nathan is a famous quarterback and Bree is a dance instructor. They’re in love with each other, but the other doesn’t know and thinks the other thinks their just friends are like siblings. Bree gets drunk one night changing everything. This is a favorite book of mine. I love Bree and Nathan. I love how Nathan is always there for Bree and supports her. Bree’s drunk actions were so funny and was one of my favorite scenes along side Nathan and his teammates making a cheat sheet for dating. This is such a good book, super light-hearted, but entertaining. 

The Upside of Falling by Alex Light

Becca’s former best friend “teases” her about not having a boyfriend, so she lies on the spot and says she’s seeing someone. Brett is the perfect, popular, sport playing student. So when Brett overhears Becca’s lie, he jumps at the opportunity and pretends to be her boyfriend. This fake relationship leads to more! This is a stereotypical predictable high school romance. It’s a cute read, but if you’re looking for something super complex and sophisticated this is not the book for you. 

To Love Jason Thorn by Ella Maise

Olive has been in love with her brother’s best friend, Jason, since she was a little kid. After a misunderstanding, Olive begins to “dislike” Jason. Jason moves away to live with his father and then becomes a famous actor. Olive writes a famous book based on Jason. Olive’s book is being made into a movie, and there she meets Jason again. Jason gets into a scandal which causes Olive and him to enter a fake marriage, and from there sparks fly. I love this book. Jason is so sweet to Olive, and treats her so well. The misunderstandings get cleared up, luckily. Olive finally gets her happily ever after with Jason like she’s wanted since a child. Jason and Olive are so adorable together and I loved reading about them. 

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata

Vanessa worked for Aiden Graves for years. She quits her job working for him but he shows up at her door asking her to come back. Not just to come back, but to marry him for citizenship/green card reasons. I liked this book. It was a slow burn which was nice because things weren’t happening one after another unrealistically. Some parts were a bit corny/cringy, but I really liked Vanessa and Aiden together. 

The Deal by Elle Kennedy

Garrett needs tutoring if he doesn’t want to be benched in hockey, and in return he promises to help Hannah with her love life. Garrett is Briar U’s golden boy, and he promises to help Hannah get her crush’s attention. Hate to friends to partners. This has the faking dating trope too. This is one of my favorite books. Hannah and Garrett are made for each other, and I found myself rooting for them. The plot isn’t all smooth sailing, so you see them fight for each other and fight against the odds. 

Waiting to Score by Elouise Tynan

Monty kisses West to save herself from her obsessive ex-boyfriend. West is unable to forget their kiss, and decides to help Monty out with her ex by pretending to date. West and Monty are likable characters, but Monty’s ex is very hateable. He does some bad questionable things, and is very obsessive. As the reader, I hate Monty’s ex-boyfriend. 

The Dating plan by Sara Desai

Daisy asks her childhood crush, Liam, to be her fake fiance. She’s not interested in love and marriage. She’s focused on her planned future. Liam needs to be married in order to obtain his inheritance, so Daisy and him enter a marriage of convenience. This gets Daisy’s family off her back about marriage and fills the marriage clause allowing Liam to access his inheritance. Daisy and Liam are a cute couple who have to overcome misunderstandings from the past. At first, Liam seems like a bit of a jerk for his past actions but you find out he has reasons for his actions. Liam’s character grew on me, and I ended up loving him like I do Daisy. 

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

When Olive’s sister and her sister’s husband get food poisoning, Olive takes all expenses paid honeymoon. Ethan, Olive’s sworn enemy, the only other person without food poisoning wants to trip too. They put aside their hatred and go together pretending to be newlyweds after bumping into Olive’s future boss. This book was super funny which made it extra enjoyable to read. I was laughing throughout reading the book. 

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

Writing question, so you're getting it in your askbox: how do you structure a screenplay if you aren't planning on using the Save the Cat method? Do you just build as you go until you get to the climax? Or are their other techniques?

Usual caveat that I am not some big important expert on the film industry, and if my personal opinion bothers anyone, the door is that way.

A screenplay is a story just like a novel is, and there does have to be some kind of structure. Unfortunately Save the Cat has taken that structure and boiled it down to a page-by-page formula that now everyone is expected to follow. Producers and executives just read that one stupid book and so they take the script and say oh I want it to follow this exact formula page by page because I am incapable of just reading a script and deciding if it's compelling or not, I need to make sure it'll do n u m b e r s at the b o x o f f i c e and they want to prepackage films like they're microwave meals.

The way even the good MCU films all feel the same and sound the same and look the same is a microcosm of the Save the Cat effect on Hollywood. You cannot be a slave to a formula, but that's exactly what all the studios want you to do, and it's now what all screenwriters are being taught from the beginning, so it's all they know.

Here is what your story needs:

A solid beginning that answers the question "why now? Why is the story starting here in this moment and not at another time?"

To challenge your protagonist and either force growth (remember, you can grow in the wrong direction, too) or show compelling stagnation (watching a character refuse to grow can be interesting, too, although it's trickier to pull off).

To present you with questions and then answer them - in a murder mystery the question is either "who did this?" or "how will we catch them?" In a romance it's "will they get together?"

To entertain. It must hold a person's interest.

Truth. There must be something real about your story. A real emotion, a real conviction, a real question, a real pain, a real something. Honestly, I think part of why Top Gun: Maverick was such a smash it was that Tom Cruise was so clearly having real fun making it. The audience can feel that.

There are different structures you can turn to. Try them all out. The more you write, the more you practice, the more the structure of a story will become instinctive. You won't think "oh, here's the 'call to adventure'" and "and now we've hit the climax." That will be internalized. But if you are a slave to the formula, as Hollywood has become a slave to the formula of Save the Cat, then you won't be telling actual stories. You'll be churning out product.

There's a short story by Roald Dahl called "The Great Automatic Grammatizator" about a machine that writes stories and ends up replacing human writers. You punch in a basic set of requirements or formula and the machine spits out a complete story for you. If Hollywood could invent such a machine, they would, because they care about digestible predictable bullshit. Even "artistic" movies are called "Oscar bait" for a reason - there is a type of movie that follows a certain formula, and they are "Oscar bait" formula.

There is a distressing artificiality to movies nowadays. Even the sex in movies feels artificial. Compare this to the films in the 70s and 80s where we had natural bodies and erotic thrillers and open ugly tacky unafraid unashamed bare skin and sex.

"How do you structure your screenplay" - why are you all concerned with how your story is structured? Write the damn story. When your first draft is finished, you can look at it and see what's lacking. It's exactly the same as teachers who "teach to the test" - don't "write to the structure."

You're initially taught a structure when you first start writing the same way you're initially taught to follow the recipe when you cook. But no actual good cook follows the recipe to the letter. They add personal flair. Exchange out ingredients. Add or subtract ingredients. Etc.

If using the Save the Cat structure helps you as a beginning screenwriter then by all means read it and try it out a couple times. But don't make it your god the way Hollywood studios have. The day you turn art into a formula, art dies.

Hello please share some thoughts on your tags to this post. This is something I have never thought about.

CLASPS HANDS TOGETHER omg hii anon :3 anything for u. i love sharing thoughts even if this is bait but it seems innocent enough. screenshot of the post in question:

admittedly my added tags take a very big jump (fandom->white supremacy) and my perception is informed by critical race theory, living in the USA, and paying attention to the way that daily life (including such a seemingly mundane thing as engaging in fandom) can relate to the political climate that it exists in. it is impossible to separate the two.

the post itself is a parody of the phrase 'kill the cop in your head' meant as a call for people to analyze the way that they may be exhibiting cop-like behavior, 'policing' (limiting) both themselves and the people around them, often without realizing they are doing it. in this convo it is very important to understand that law enforcement is used as a tool to uphold white supremacy, which is where i made the jump from.

the important part: OP relates 'cops' to 'fandom.' here i define fandom as the internet spaces that surround modern entertainment media, which frequently operate on nebulous social rules not dissimilar from the ones that bind the USA with white supremacy, alike in the ways that they exclude and isolate people of color, people of the global south, anyone who doesnt fit the expectations of what a person should be to deserve respect, in whatever form it takes. which is what this boils down to.

but i will also say not to worry yourself being like "omg am i white supremacist for liking this thing" its just that everyone on the internet would benefit from some self analysis and to be aware of the ideas that theyre upholding just by talking about their shows, movies, games, books etc on the internet. including the way they may financially support these things. which is where the notion of 'critical consumption' comes from. we as a society suck at this very badly

less important part: i use the term 'equating' in a mathematical sense, that we have done procedures on two sides of an equation to reach a common ground. those r all my thoughts. u can ask more questions if u want but mad respect if u read all this

This is what it sounds like when actors for American tv/movies eat something during the program. Note the slurping of the coffee at the very beginning &after 30 seconds/55 secs/1 min 5 secs in particular with the croissant eater:   https://t.co/XAibuB1GVl

"- it sounds like the dog eating from the first clip of today (7/9/23). You tell kids not to slurp, chew with your mouth closed, enjoy food without chewing obnoxiously(it‚very much possible).-",

- here‚a normal guy eating. You don‚t hear anything. You know he‚eating because you see him do it:  https://t.co/HPkS1WAKFi

"- American television should showcase the best of the best, be it people, mannerisms, trends, or characteristics. You shouldn‚t encourage people to just ‚let go‚ and take it easy with everything, from appearance to chewing your food.-",

"- that being said, there‚a number of things that a person notes. Most of the people in movies have blue eyes, Americans like to show off their ability to chew and enjoy food, 50% of the people in a show or movie are gay,-",

"- & converse to all: at a time w/ affirmative action being revoked, most of the people U see walking around malls are in ridge hill or elsewhere are minorities. I guess white people no longer have money‚-",

"- But just as there‚a majority there, on television, most of the people are blue eyed. But things a person notes‚-",

- on a side note and completely unrelated @shakira is by far one of the most gorgeous women out there. She should get into acting. Even after the years following ‚whenever/wherever‚ just extraordinary‚-   https://t.co/IjHSrAycZO

"- but in terms of points,When I was in kindergarten, I was around lots of mixed race kids. Kids flaunt being 1/4 Italian, 1:4 Irish & maybe something like 50% Polish. While my Indian parents told me otherwise, I realized the many options in terms of a nationality 4 girlfriends-",

"- but nowadays kids are being exposed at an age like kindergarten or from the Disney channel, options such as being a boy, a girl, non binary, heterosexual, homosexual‚.how could youth get so complicated‚w/ basic structures being removed, it‚like reality itself is unfolding-",

"- if children are exposed to such ideas, doesn‚t it risk confusing them? I am a heterosexual man. But I enjoy a day at the spa, clearing facial blemishes with a facial, a massage, maybe even a pedicure to kill time. I believe one should look their best in appearance.-",

"- some1else, like a male child liking playing w/ dolls or growing their hair long, might falsely get the impression they‚re a girl inside. & now people & culture encourage it. Sometimes we need 2 believe something is what it is, or not possible. Why? It structures our thinking.-",

"- and children are impressionable. How early should they be exposed to certain ideas? You end up with a kid with wushu washy thinking. A typical boy could contemplate being a girl, and his thinking could spiral from there down a path of doubt and questioning of his gender-",

"- now as per those who identify as gay or transgender, how many people knew that baby boys and baby girls start out as females when developing in their mothers womb? Those with the XY chromosome for being a male, have their genitalia invert into the male body parts-",

"- now that could explain Y some gay men are attracted 2 other males. Maybe the transformation inThe womb was incomplete. Transgender or whatever be the label 4 individuals w/male & female body parts really gets me stumped. But it probably also has 2 so w/development in the womb.-",

"- now that explains transgenders and homosexuality from a biological perspective. But now with culture embracing these notions, with half the people in the TEXT being these labels, there‚another thought that comes to mind.-",

"- What if some1 who is a gay female is actually looking for someone with female qualities and not necessarily female body parts? If culture hardened on the notion of heterosexuality, maybe the alleged gay female might like a male who is in touch with their female inside.-",

"- gay males might actually like Tom boys, with women, and not necessarily be attracted to male body parts. I mean typical biology between males and females have a lock and key fit, in terms of body parts, and at the end of the day, pleasure comes from friction involved.-",

"- I feel some of this is like nature vs nurture, or culture vs. biology. Are gay people programmed genetically 2 walk & talk in a particular way? Isn‚t that culture? If U sow doubts or even give potential options 2 gender & sexuality in children in kindergarten-",

"- or thru Disney Channel, isn‚t that the nurture part of nature vs. nurture. U risk confusing kids. W/ women wanting 2 be men, thruout history 4 a myriad of reasons, haven‚t there always been women wishing 2 be men? Don‚t mothers hope for male children for better opportunities?-",

"- does that necessarily mean women should physically alter themselves to be men?-",

"- things today seem outrageous or even comical. I went for my COVID shot and the military man doing the paperwork asked me, a man, if I‚ve ever been pregnant. -",

"- On another note, it just seems things were supposed to be binary. You defeat the protections of a male/female bathroom with basic things like gender on peoples choices.-",

"- What about the military? How do U create focus & avoid hanky panky if gender in training & squads are not binary?What aboutParents sendingKids 2 all boys or all girls highSchools during raging hormone teenage years? Whats the point if their male children go after other males?-",

- This is a Disney channel movie about the adventures of a gay young male child:-   https://t.co/8N4DHMuZXJ

- in a children‚movie kids are being presented with an advocated view. What little girl doesn‚t wish they were Elsa from Frozen? And Disney is doing this with kids see the clip:  https://t.co/wtniNIaZOX

"So was watching CNN. Apparently more than mass shooting reported almost everyday. Experts are trying to figure out whether it‚due to mental health or the heat from the sun‚-",

"- what gets me is, not counting the shooting themselves, if ur looking at factors like heat causing shootings, it‚like people are dogs are cats‚I mean so what if it‚hot? It makes you short tempered, ready to snap at someone with a gun?-",

"- I don‚t know if it‚just me, or if people of the various backgrounds in America are a different species‚if heat were the factor, can‚t you consciously ‚suck it up‚ so to speak and not go off the edge?-",

"- This isn‚t an attack at the idea or the person with the idea‚it just seems like rather than ‚owning up to an action‚, people are bothered by the most random things. A dog howls if it‚left alone or hungry. -",

"- likewise; it‚like saying a human being shoots people if it‚hot? I just don‚t get the mental health argument.-",

"- I think the problem is not the laws surrounding guns or the mental health of the gun holder. It‚the gun themselves. I hear certain cigars are hard to get. On a related note, cars have advanced tremendously in design over the last century. Old cars, cigars are hard to get.-",

"- so what am I trying to say? Like old cars being phased out, current guns should be phased out and obsolete. 3D printers making guns should have a program that prevents the construction of such. You shouldn‚t cut costs by not thinking about safety.-",

"- so I said the guns themselves are the problem. Police officers have tasers. And we may live in a day and age of wireless mind reading or mind control. So is it too star trekky, or too much to ask, the blends guns with tasers like the infamous stun guns of sci fi series?-",

"- you need to ask, what is the purpose of a gun? What are you trying to do if you‚re a police officer or even a hunter. You basically want to disable a threat.Stunning someone or zapping the energy or tranquillizing muscles could fulfill the purpose of disabling a threat.-",

"- bullet guns should be phased out. This way, even if a gun were used by the wrong person for the wrong reason, you reduce the chance of death.",

"- instead of cutting costs, register the gun and access to the gun with a fingerprint reading trigger. More people may buy guns for protection. With the increased sales, the cost of electronic fingerprint reading, stun gun features might be offset.",

"On another note, the abortion topic. Now nationally not legal, but a state decision. I don‚t think this is a yes or no simple answer. It‚just like creationist theories and science not necessarily being one or the other.-",

"- it‚said God created the world in 7 days. Creationists, & the religious believe that. Science says the earth is billions of yrs old. As said, science & religion don‚t have to be 1 or the other. 7 days for a god or The God, could be billions or millions of years for a human.-",

"- It‚about how you look at things. You cannot be rigid in your thinking. We know the gravity is more on Jupiter because it is a planet bigger than the Earth. So, why can‚t time be measured differently for God and human beings?-",

"- and I said God and human beings in my last tweet. I would‚ve preferred to say God and man. Or maybe even mankind. It‚understood man in that ‚context‚ (context implies you need to stretch your mind) is about both males and females.-",

"- People in America have the time to complain about terms like man vs. human. When I was learning Spanish, to refer to a group of females, you‚d say ‚EllAs‚. For a group of males, you‚d say ‚EllOs‚. If the group is a mix of males and females, U default to the masculine: ‚EllOs.‚-",

"-Their just grammatical rules that only people in American make a fuss about-",

"- but I went off topic. So it doesn‚t have 2 be religion or science, but a blend, a balance, a partnership b/w the 2. It‚said: Adam, from the Adam & Eve story, gained life, when God breathed in2 Adam. So what‚the clue or what can B extracted 2 help science or abortion talks?-",

"- maybe a woman should be allowed to abort a pregnancy up until the time the baby gets it‚first whiff of oxygen, which may coincide with when the fetus starts exhibiting brain waves.-",

"- If I‚m wrong about the oxygen, then the other thing that can be taken from the Adam/Eve story is: when Adam became conscious from God‚breath of life, he exhibited brain waves. So, what I think I remember hearing: as it taking six weeks for brain waves to exhibit in a fetus,-",

"- the first 6 weeks should be the deadline for terminating a pregnancy. Women also should take caution to not sleep with their partner during that ideal pregnancy period, even they‚re more compelled during that time.",

"On another note, countries like Dubai apparently don‚t charge taxes on a persons salary. If you make $100,000, you keep that. In America, if you make $100,000, you may only keep $60,000. Then there‚property tax, sales tax, and of course: the price and rising prices of things-",

"- I wanted to get a scar cream for a blemish on my skin. One tube costs $30. I wanted a replacement top for my electric shaver. Another $30. And that‚something like a cap or top for the shaver, not the part with the motor or that you charge.-",

"- I wanted to get an iPad stand with an extendable architect arm so that I can watch my streaming apps while I‚m relaxing in my bath tub. That‚another $40. Architect arms may sound like an expensive name, but it‚just what the extendable arm is called.-",

"- A plastic dining table cover? That‚another $25. For that iPad stand I mentioned? If you put an iPad Pro, weighing 1.5 lb on the stand, the stand tips over. That‚after spending $40 on the stand. So then you get an idea to put 2 lb weight plates on the base of the stand.-",

"- a pair of 2 lb weight plates? That costs another $30 on Amazon. A swifter mop? Costs another $30. I‚m probably approaching $2-300 already on an average $2000 biweekly salary. Go to Five Guys with a family of four? That‚another $100.-",

"- I have a MacBook Pro. It‚the last one in a long line of MacBooks to have the Bootcamp option to dual boot with Windows. I bought it like most people when they get their first new job. It looks like nice and I never had a blue screen error or Windows crashing on my MacBook.-",

"- it‚like you need MacBook hardware to run Windows software without problems. Maybe another area of balance/partnerships. But the accessories for Apple products are all overpriced. A 6 ft thunderbolt cable? $129. An Anker wireless charger for iPhone, iWatch, AirPods? $140.-",

"- AirPods? $249. IWatch? $799 thunderbolt usb hub? $249.  Want 2 run windows software? Then U need Parallels Desktop at $100 annually or VMware Fusion 4 another $100. Have a wireless keyboard/mouse already 4 a windows PC? Need 2 buy them again so that‚specifically for MacBook.-",

"- everything in the richest county in the world is an expense. Maybe it‚just the richest government in the world, in terms of America.",

"Want 2 no what‚retarded? All forms of American medicine, & the products from the pharmaceutical industry. Why do I say it‚‚retarded?‚ Billions of dollar are spent on pills that travel thru ur blood stream. It‚going everywhere blood goes, even past/thru areas it shouldn‚t.-",

"- this is why, for those so focused on superficial label of mental health, an antipsychotic to cure hallucinations cause problems to your liver and kidneys. It‚not just reaching the head, but all the places before in your body before the head.-",

"- pharmaceutical industry? U shouldn‚t be spending money onThese primitivePills. Even 1000s of yrs old Indian Ayurvedic Medicine & Yoga are more advanced. They treat ur spirit & mind so that ur body heals. Kind of like when Christ says ur sins areForgiven, go in peace, urHealed.-",

"- so what should the pharmaceutical industry spend money on in the 21st century? In nanotechnology. Imagine taking an electronically programmed pill that only acts on the part of the body it‚supposed to and nowhere else.-",

"- If getting the circuitry small enough is the problem with pushing nanotechnology forward, then blend it with cloud computing. Small pills getting instructions through wireless signals from the cloud is the solution.-",

"- To get someone to search more, complain more, buy more, could something be dulling your brain to focus on cr*p like a pothead who‚high on excited about poop in a toilet?-",

"- Could they even try 2 sedate U more & more w/antipsychotics, antidepressants, medical marijuana to get U 2 comply w/a stupid program exploiting ur intellect & what U radiate? Could they be knowingly/unknowingly drugging U to be happy w/ stupid decisions & choices?-",

What is your personal top ten/ranking of Ancient Roman movies/TV shows? So, the major Ancient Roman audiovisual products seem to be Gladiator, I Claudius, HBO Rome, the Taylor Cleopatra movie, Spartacus and perhaps the (Wonderful!) Domina? There is also the Matheson Nero movie, the O'Toole Augustus, The Caesars series that were relessed not long before Claudius and some Shakespeare Caesar adaptations (I also like the Chaning Tatum Eagle movie, wonderful gay cinema if u ask me, though Jamie beats Chaning in hotness).

I have never watched the Eagle movie, can you believe? Horrible oversight from my part and one I should fix. But I did watch the other ones you mentioned, so I guess I can try a top 10, or rather, just 10 of my favorites, because hell how could I even rank works so different in terms of personal enjoyment, historical accuracy, overall quality etc? And how can I in good faith put Caligula (1979) along with oscar winner Gladiator? When Caligula is so much better than it...

Rome HBO was a turning point and it's very important to me, personally. I watched it for the first time in one of the worst years of my life and it just clicked, so it will always be special. And it's just great! Very well made, very distinctive in tone and look, with one of the best casts in anything ever. The writing sometimes stumbles, but when it's good it's one of the best.

Liz Taylor Cleopatra for reasons very similar to above. Just very important to me on a personal level. I also love big historical epics that are a thousand hours long and you can just lose yourself in them. The big settings, the gorgeous outfits, the drama. And the behind the scenes gossip from this one makes it better. Type of movie you watch and go "you can tell the leads were fucking" (best type).

Gladiator. Again, in terms of ridiculous, over the top, big historical epics that are a thousand hours long. It's gorgeous! And Commodus and Lucilla are two characters that are very dear to me, so I have to sneak it in here.

National Theatre 2018 production of Antony and Cleopatra with Ralph Fiennes and Sophie Okonedo. Because it's Sophie Okonedo as Shakespeare's Cleopatra.

Starz Spartacus. Maybe this one is begging for a rewatch? Because it's been some time. But I remember finding it entertaining and often poignant. Shows the horrors of slavery without being "gratuitous" (I do have a problem with the term but let's use it here). And the characters are just so good! Crixus and Naevia! Lucretia and Illithyia! I think it's the precursor to Black Sails in a lot of ways, if you have watched that.

I am going to mention Caligula 1979. It's good TO ME. If they don't release the new cut soon I'll kms.

Domina, of course. I have very fond memories of waiting for it and being super excited (never thought we would get a tv show about Livia!!) and it mostly lived up to the expectations. It's not perfect but it's funny and dramatic and it's just so nice to see all the Julio-Claudian kids... One thing I love about it is that while other tv shows very reasonably cut some historical figures to make things neater, Domina just has EVERYONE in it. And they all marry each other multiple times. So it's a lot of fun to point and go "look! it's livilla!".

I, Claudius... I have a love/hate relationship with it, I think the BBC 70s production value is cursed and the sexism is so wild it makes me laugh (and my tolerance is usually very high!) but the cast is just surreal (Derek Jacobi gives one of the best tv performances EVER in it) and like in Domina it's just nice to see everyone...

Julius Caesar 1953 because Jason Mason as Brutus and Deborah Kerr as Portia.

Will round this up with Imperium: Augustus and Imperium: Nero as a joint bullet point because I'm cheating :) if I'm honest the Nero one has the edge because I just love love love love their Agrippina and Nero, one of my favorite mother/son relationships in anything... But Peter O'Toole and Charlotte Rampling as Augustus and Livia? No I can't leave it out. And the Augustus/Julia relationship is almost as delicious as the Agrippina/Nero one. Also it's very gay! Augustus was very much in love with Agrippa in that one!

Honorable mentions to Cleopatra 1934, delicious pre-code stuff; the Timothy Dalton Antony and Cleopatra because Timothy Dalton is hot as Antony; IL PRIMO RE!!!!! If you haven't watched that, DO; Hannibal with Alexander Siddig which I didn't include because technically is a documentary; Royal Diaries - Cleopatra??? Because baby Cleopatra.....

Netflix adapts new biz strategy behind Suits' success; Megain Markle laughably takes credit in spite of her objectively spectacular failure by u/cozymayo

Netflix adapts new biz strategy behind Suits' success; Megain Markle laughably takes credit in spite of her objectively spectacular failure I've seen a few stories on Suits' recent success on Netflix that I thought my fellow sinners might find interesting. Since launching on the platform in mid-June, Suits has generated over three billion minutes of streaming time — a record for a licensed show.As Megain Markle feverishly cranks out puff pieces to distract from public allegations of being a grifter and clinical sociopath — as well as rumors of an imminent divorce — some of us have noticed her hilarious attempts to take credit for Suits becoming a surprise hit on Netflix. This is gaslighting at its finest. Not only are we expected to believe that a minor character who was written out of the show halfway through is the reason so many are watching. We're also being asked to accept that this unprecedented streaming record is all thanks to someone who had her own Netflix series canned before it ever saw the light of day, and was also:Fired from Spotify for producing abysmal contentPublicly called a "fucking grifter" by a Spotify execPublicly described as talentless by a major talent agent and entertainment industry execThe real reason Suits is doing so well? IMO it all boils down to Netflix's new business strategy. The company was previously focused on hyper-growth and acquiring as many users as possible. Now it's scrambling to retain them. In 2021, with millions of its customers stuck at home during a global pandemic, Netflix was churning out a new movie every week. Then in 2022, everything went to shit. Netflix lost over 2 million subscribers in six months and $54.4 billion in market cap overnight — the largest single-day decline in history.Netflix has made several adjustments in 2023 to recover. It laid off hundreds of employees, introduced a cheaper ad-supported subscription and cracked down on password sharing. Netflix also switched gears to focus heavily on retention. Suits dropped eight seasons on the platform at once — it makes sense that Netflix would promote a show that gives its users a shit ton of content to get through, so they hopefully postpone or even refrain from canceling their subscriptions.This is all part of a broader strategy created by experienced business professionals at Netflix — a publicly traded company that is still worth $194 billion, in spite of its setbacks. Megain Markle is a D List cable TV actress who ran a lifestyle blog and was briefly connected with the BRF. She's also a fucking joke who couldn't even manage her own 12-episode podcast. But, of course, that doesn't stop Madam from swooping in, right on cue, to take credit for other peoples' work.Side note but I thought this observation was interesting:The three billion minutes viewed generated a lot of headlines. But what does that really mean when more than 120 episodes were all made available at once? (By comparison, The Lincoln Lawyer, also on Netflix, generated 1.4 billion view minutes in its first week on Nielsen’s Top 10, with just 15 episodes.)LMK your thoughts and opinions, sinners! Would genuinely love to hear. ​ post link: https://ift.tt/xWYbJwF author: cozymayo submitted: August 09, 2023 at 09:37PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

PINKY STAR (RUN) :｡･:*:･ﾟ’★,｡･:*:･ﾟ’☆

SYNOPSIS: isagi as your boyfriend

CHARACTERS INCLUDED: isagi yoichi my boyfriend of many several years

WARNINGS: swearing? i think idk i forget also yah pretend they all go to the same school and stuff. also horribly self indulgent if u couldn't already tell

A/N: if you remember my old one delete it from your memory it was literally so bad help anyways the re-up because my boyfriend deserves better. also i really like this one and i feel like it’s more in character for him :P lol i've had this in my drafts for like, ever <3 but also my last post for a while because i have ap exams and my sat soon :P

FOR: the anon that asked me where my original isagi bf hcs went :’)

after the initial awkwardness of being in a new relationship fades and you two become comfortable with each other, a relationship with isagi would be like dating your slightly awkward best friend who you make out with sometimes.

like, i don’t really see isagi being high maintenance, so i feel like a relationship with him would definitely be on the relaxed side, but still romantic, you know?

isagi’s inner monologue is so funny and he definitely lets his thoughts out to you. it makes you laugh to see your usually friendly-to-all boyfriend have his moments, too.

you guys are one of those couples that give each other a look when someone’s doing something weird in public #telepathicconnection <3

but, isagi’s really such a sweetie with you. i know user isagisyoichi may be slightly biased when they say this, but believe me when i say that isagi’s 100% boyfriend material.

walks you to class whenever he can. always either holding your hand as he listens attentively to you complaining about school.

writes down things he feels are important about you in a digital note entitled “y/n 💗,” so he can remember them in the future.

isagi's used to talking to all kinds of people, so even if you're not the most talkative, he can adjust with no problem.

and he’ll always entertain you about whatever stupid conversation you wanna have.

kinda basic with pet names. babe, baby, dork (he would, i don’t wanna hear it), are his usual rotation.

randomly compliments you/says these really romantic things out of nowhere because he can’t control himself and often blurts things out.

“yeah, of course, when we get married, i’ll-”

“when we get married?” you inquire as you cut isagi off. you two have never discussed marriage, just but the thought of isagi wanting to spend the rest of his life with you is enough to make your head spin.

isagi’s eyes go wide when he realizes what he’s said. damn his mouth that moves faster than his mind.

swallowing hard and taking a breath, isagi says, “y-yeah, when we get married,” further affirming his statement with a nod, albeit a bit of a nervous one.

now both of you guys are flustered LOL.

likes to sit his head in your lap and have you play with his hair, while you two talk or just sit in silence.

such a good listener, perfect person to rant about anything with. he’s very understanding, he’ll hold you if you need him to, wipe your tears if you’re crying, give you advice if you need it, just overall so sweet.

also always knows when you're sad because of his intuition. isagi encourages you to open up to him, but ultimately doesn’t force you, just lets you know that he’s always there for you <3

(that's kind of lie because isagi does pry a little LOL, but he means well)

takes care of you! nags you a little, tries his best to make sure you're not doing anything stupid, and if you are, that someone responsible (him) is watching you, looks after you when you’re sick, etc.

gives you his jacket when you’re cold (he’s been waiting to do that his whole life bro LMAOO), carries your things, always texts you good morning and good night, just overall sooo good to you.

but as soft as he is for you, isagi does have this tendency to get these random spouts of confidence, so sometimes he’ll say or do something really bold out of nowhere.

like, he’ll suddenly grab your waist and pull you closer to him, or he’ll kiss you out of the blue. the flustered expression that rests on your face for a change always makes him smirk *heart eyes*

in general, though, isagi's still kind of awkward sometimes regardless and does say or do things that make you go "???" and make him be like "why did i do that" LOL he's so cute though <333

he’s pretty basic with dates, usually opts for things like restaurants, walks in the parks, movie nights, or stuff like that, but they’re still really fun!

but, if you ever want to do something out of the norm, he wouldn't be opposed to it, either. but, you do have to tell him ‘cause he's not a mind reader lol.

(okay but, one time, isagi tried to watch a scary movie with you because he wanted to do that thing where he wraps his arm around you during the scary parts, but HE ended up being scared instead 😭)

isagi’s the type to put your name with a heart emoji or the date you guys started dating in his instagram bio LOL

y/n 💓 IHS Forward #10 ⚽️ *insert some soccer quote about grinding*

it’s a bit middle school, but you let it slide because you know he just wants to show you off <3

study sessions are normal between you two but, you guys always get bored or distracted halfway through and start watching youtube or something LOL.

it’s canon he’s a thigh man lol, so if he ever sees you wearing an oversized shirt, especially one of his, with shorts, isagi will literally short circuit in real life.

he keeps his hand on your thigh when you guys cuddle that day, tracing patterns on your skin, or just squeezing it every now and then.

in general, though, isagi likes poking at and playing with them whenever they're out <3

once, isagi wanted you to do that trend on tiktok where he sits between your thighs and stuff, but he had no idea how to bring it up LOL

so, isagi just watched tiktoks of it in front of you and hoped eventually you would get the hint 🙄

and you did, thanks to his incredible lack of subtly. he doesn’t even care when you giggle and tell him how bad he is at being slick, isagi got your thighs around him, he won!!!!!!

takes a picture (or two or three) to savor the moment.

(even though he could literally just ask you to do it again in the future, but whatever, i guess)

when you’re dating isagi, the team comes with him too LOL

they’re always snapchatting you pictures of isagi when they’re hanging out without you, with stupid captions like, “look how sad your boyfriend is without you 😞”

isagi’s not even sad in the picture, he’s just confused as to why they’re shoving a camera in his face 😭

isagi one hundred percent attempts to get you to run the mile with him during gym if you don’t already.

“babe, just try!” isagi pants, as he catches up to you and your friends, as you guys are still on your second lap.

admittedly, the effort is cute, but beloved, i hate to break it to you- i will not be doing anything of the sort.

he will sit down or walk around with you after you finish the mile, though. if he’s not already playing soccer lollll.

when he does choose to go with you, expect exclamations from the team about how isagi “abandoned us for his little relationship” 👎

isagi’s receiving love language is words of affirmation (also basically canon LOL) so, he really values the compliments you give him with his whole heart.

you could tell him how his hair looks nice in the morning, and isagi will think about it all day.

whether it be about how cute he is, or how talented of a player he is, isagi really is happiest when you praise him <3

speaking of soccer, isagi has this tendency to get lost in the moment and talk your head off about some soccer related tangent that probably makes no sense to you.

his eyes light up and his voice is just oozing with passion for what he does as he goes into detail about how he made this crazy goal at practice while you stare at him with the biggest heart eyes ever, adoring his dedication.

and of course when isagi realizes he was rambling, he apologizes profusely for “boring” you, like the gentleman he is.

but when you reassure him that he could never bore you and that you want nothing more than for him to go on, isagi begins to feels lightheaded due to his adoration for you <3

if you're the type to go all out when it supporting isagi at soccer- like make one of those corny signs, yell from the crowd, wear his spare jersey to games, isagi will physically have to withhold his heart from jumping out his chest.

he's a little embarrassed that you're doing all that for him, but the effort means soooo much to him.

and speaking of soccer, it would mean a lot to isagi if you not only supported him at games and stuff, but expressed an interest in learning more about soccer as a whole, too.

you know, learn a little more about the game on your own accord, ask him to teach you how to properly play, or even challenge him to a one on one, do stuff like that, and he’ll literally be head over heels for you. well, more than he already is.

(he always goes easy on you on your guys 1v1's and he thinks your efforts are adorable, no matter how much you may or may not suck)

he'd repay the effort and try to get interested in whatever your hobbies are!

also, you can get him to do almost anything if you pout and beg hard enough, you’re literally so hard to say no to in isagi’s eyes <3

isagi’s the type to not realize when other people are flirting with him LOL

he just thinks they’re being nice (unless they’re being straight up) and i don’t think he would really process it because he’s so focused on you romantically, if that makes sense.

once he realizes you’re jealous, isagi apologizes earnestly, reassuring you over and over again that you're everything he could ask for and that he would never intentionally try to hurt you and all that jazz.

although, i will admit, sometimes isagi’s kinda smug when you're jealous, especially when it’s over a dumb reason 👎

however, when he’s jealous i feel like it could go one of two ways-

on normal days, isagi would just stand there to “intimidate” the other person, maybe cough a little for emphasis until they go away lol.

but on days where he’s already mad/filled with adrenaline/or someone’s really not taking a hint and you’re visibly uncomfortable- oh boy, it’s like a switch flips in him.

has those same fiery eyes he has during the climax of a game. the energy he’s exuding is dead serious, and that alone is enough for the person bothering you to go away. not bad for a man that’s only 5’8 🥰

adding on, isagi doesn’t take any shit about you, ever. even if it’s from his friends. usually isagi’s very neutral and doesn’t actively try to start conflict, but there are some things he’ll always defend and you’re one of them.

isagi always listens/watches/reads/etc whatever you recommend him (on that note, please recommend him good anime because isagi’s out here willingly telling people his favorite anime is darling in the franxx), even if he doesn’t necessarily like it LOL

you could show isagi objectively, the worst song ever and he would be like “yeah, it was good babe!” (it was not)

also does the same thing when you bring him shopping with you, like he's absolutely NO HELP 😭

you could try on the ugliest sweater known to man and he’d like “you look nice 🙂” pls be honest isagi, you can say it’s hideous!!!!!!

but isagi’s also being somewhat truthful in his statement because he does genuinely think you look nice in everything <3

also loves when you wear his clothes- always feels a mixture between pride and slight shyness?

kinda lol idk but overall, isagi really is sooo happy you wanna show him off that much, especially when you're wearing something of his around his friends :')

he says “i love you” first, no doubt.

he’s a bit nervous when he does because he doesn’t know if you’ll reciprocate, but he really does love you and he feels like he physically can’t hold it in anymore.

“i promise you don’t have to say it back!” isagi reassures anxiously. “i know it’s a really big commitment, and if it’s too early for you right now-”

“i love you, too.”

Smile For Me, Sweetcheeks ~ Ghostface x Fem!Reader

I've thought of this for a while, and it's gonna be

F U N

---

Y/N opened her eyes groggily, finding herself on the grassy ground - As she lifted her head to scan her surroundings, she realised she was in some strange, dark place that resembled some weird park with tall trees, yet had random small buildings here and there...It almost seemed like a place to play hide and seek, was her first thought.

Next to her, 3 other people were getting up, looking extremely frightened, as they bolted the hell out of that spot, going in different directions.

But Y/N didn't, and instead, she walked around aimlessly, until she spotted someone dressed in all black, with a weird ghost-like mask, peeking from behind an old car, almost timidly, only to see him wave at her.

Grinning at him, thinking she finally met someone friendly around this place, she extended her arm up in the sky, waving excitedly, which made the man make his way to her.

"Hi! I'm Y/N! It's great finally seeing someone nice around here. The 3 other guys just yelled in my face and ran away. How rude, right?!" she sighed, crossing her arms with a pout, before going back to her friendly smile, extending her hand to shake his. "Woaw, those guys are jerks. Call me Ghostface, darling." he said in an amused, yet somehow hoarse voice. "Uhhh, Ghostface, how cool! You must be a horror movie fan, then? So am I! ...Hmm...Actually, do you have any idea how we got here? I think I need some lecithin, my memory is failing me." she scratched the back of her head sheepishly, only for him to chuckle. "Welp, there's 4 survivors and a killer. All you gotta do is either repair 5 generators and find the exit...Or find the hatch and escape. Basically, don't die, I guess. Fun, huh?" the guy explained, putting his arm around her shoulder, guiding her to who knows where. "...What the hell is this, the Hunger Games?" she looked up at him with a weird look on her face. "Haha, that would be fun! Alas, nothing like that. Ah, look at this, a gen! Here I'll show you how to repair it. You have to tinker with these parts, and then merge these together...You get the cables in the respective coloured sockets...Et voila! Haha, look at it! Fireworks! What a reward!" Ghostface clapped and cheered at the fireworks the generator made, laughing at the startled look on the girl's face, as she clearly didn't expect something like that to happen. "Uh...Honestly, this is insane. Can't we just, like...Go home? I don't think I'm up for dying, even if someone paid me to go through with this silly game." she sighed, crouching down to the next generator, awkwardly trying to repair it, but she was much slower and clumsier compared to him, and it even exploded in her face, making her yelp and fall down. "Dude! Not cool! This gen is working against me!" "Shoulda seen the face you made, toots! Haha, so funny! You're very entertaining, girl. Here, lemme help ya out." he said as he got on the other side of the of the gen and helped repaired it. "You're a real pro at this, man. Have you been playing this for long? Did they at least give you a worthy amount of money for the trouble you're going through? I mean, I'm sure you won very often...Or maybe you're like...The tutorial teacher or something? Is that why you look eccentric compared to those lame-os?" she was asking so many question, but boy, was she so off that it amused the killer so much! He now perfectly understood the wolf who dressed as a sheep, it was too much fun! She was so blindingly trusting, he could mess with her, and more, with the survivors at his heart's content! "Yeah, I win quite often, but they don't pay me! The guy is kinda blackmailing us to play his game, but it's fun when you get used to it." he explained, only to have two other survivors go past them - Her and Ghostface waved at them merrily, but they just shrieked and ran the hell away from there. "...Do I look that scary?" she muttered, looking at the man next to her with a confused expression. "Nahhh, you're a cutiepie. Those guys are just jerks." he petted her hair, beginning to walk again, only to find some really nasty, rusty hooks. "U-Uhm...Gh-Ghostface...? What are these for...?" she stuttered, frowning as she clinged on his arm instinctively. "I think you already know, toots. Careful with those, killers LOVE to impale their victims on these things. It's like a sacrifice for the big guy who's keeping us here." he chuckled as he watched the girl tremble like a little lamb seeing the knife approaching her neck. "...Can we go away from here, please? M-Maybe we can look for the...Uhm...Hatch, you called it?" she muttered, pulling him away from there. "Yeah. It's like a trap in the ground that leads to safety. It only appears when there's only 2 gens left. Felt that shockwave? It meant that the Hatch just appeared. Ah, sorry baby-cakes, I gotta run, but I'll see you around before the match ends, okay?" he was grinning under his mask, knowing that he has to kill the other 3 to make sure the Entity doesn't punish

either of them for some annoying reason...And oh, the shock and horror on her face will be fun~. "N-No...! Please don't go! This place is huge and scary, I'll get lost without you! And who knows what would happen if the Killer finds me? I don't wanna end up...Th-There...!" awww, that cute, little, frightened pout on her face, how lovely~! If only she knew... "Don't worry, cutie, is'yo' first game, the Killer ain't gonna mess with ya, I promise. And if he does, Imma make sure he regrets it. I'm sort of a boss here, you see." he put cupped both his gloved hands on her face, pinching them a bit too hard, just to hear her yelp one more time - And clearly, she didn't disappoint, as her eyes even watered a tiny bit. What a cute little lamb... "...If you're sure, then...Okay. I trust you." she muttered, turning away as she started walking away, only for her to look back at him and yell "Make sure you stay safe too, okay?! We have to escape this place together!" He raised his arm and waved dismissively, barely able to keep himself from laughing, as he started running and stalking the annoying survivors who actually thought they'd have such an easy game!

No, no, clearly not with him!

First, he slashed one of the survivors and put him on a hook, then mori'ed another and took a really cool selfie with their bloody face, and the last one he just messed around with, before repeatedly stabbing his back and throwing him in a corner, just where the Hatch was.

Those idiots thought they could escape him.

Think again.

He wasn't that idiot 'Legion', or that lame ass Amanda. Four lame thugs who can't do a simple job properly, or Jigsaw's useless lackey. Keh.

And at least he was fun, unlike Boring Michael! I mean, look at this masterpiece he made, it's a perfect piece of art! He even wrote Y/N's name on the wall in front of the hatch, so she could see and appreciate his work!

A loud noise that resounded through the place made him realise that, as he was having his fun playing with the obsolete Survivors, his cute little Y/N had her fun repairing generators, meaning that the exits could be activated, if he wasn't careful.

He had to find her quick.

Not that it was difficult for the Master of Stalking, especially since she was so clueless that she didn't even crouch to hide, or at least try to hide in lockers.

There she was...! Look at her, watching everything like a frightened meerkat! Aww, how he wanted to boop that cute nose of hers~! Maybe he could even let some blood paint her nose, and make fun of her, calling her Rudolph!

Ahh, Ghostface, you're so funny!

Yeah, Ghostface, I KNOW, right?!

"Yo, Y/N, over here! I found the hatch! Come on!" he waved his arms up in the air, yelling for her, and the look of sparkling glee on her face as soon as she saw him...Wasn't she such an adorable dummy~? "Ghostface, you're okay! I got so worried when I didn't see you in so long! I heard screams, and I thought something happened to you! I got so scared that I ran away and tried to do the last generators...And then a loud noise almost deafened me, and I had no idea what to do." she gesticulated rapidly, making him chuckle in amusement. Of course, he was worried for nothing. She wouldn't realise what she'd have to do, even if it bit her leg. Hmm, actually...~ "Nahhhh, I'm cool, haven't see the killer. Here, take the key, it will unlock the hatch. Less'goooo~!" he put his arm around her shoulder, guiding her casually where the hatch was, making sure she didn't see his work of art yet. "Oh, so this is the Hatch, huh? It looks scary. Are you sure this isn't some ladder that leads straight to hell or something? It looks...Shady." she muttered, looking at the dark abyss down below. "Don't worry, chickadee, ain't that long of a ride down. It's like a bunker filled with survivors, you'll be okay. They'll tell you what to do from then on. If you're scared, take this flashlight. See? You can see the bottom of the ladder. You'll be okay." he chuckled, weaving the flashlight around. "Wait...You're not coming down with me?" she gasped, her eyes carefully searching for the truth in his...Covered face. "I'd go down on you any day, sugar, but maybe next time we get to play around." he laughed crudely watching her frowning, flustering face. "H-Hey, don't be a jerk! I'm just worried about you!" she muttered, looking away, hoping her hair would cover her blushing face. "Hahaha, you're so fun to tease, Y/N. Only one person can go through the hatch. But s'all cool, I just gotta open up the door, since you did a great job with the gens. We'll see each other later, I can promise you that. Can't get rid of me that easily." he sniggered under his mask, waiting in anticipation until the girl realises his true nature. "Mhh...Alright...If you're so sure..." she muttered, shakily stepping down a few steps, only to be stopped by the man who took out a camera. "Wanna take a selfie before we finish this? Y'know, your first game, and a victory nonetheless...Come on, Smile for me, Sweetcheeks~!" he got on his knees, raising his mask a bit, before gluing himself to her body, one of his arms extending with the camera, while with the other he grabbed her face, kissing her cheek, making sure he guides her eyesight to his masterpiece, and as soon as he heard her gasp, he took the photo.

It was worth more than all the money in the world.

"Y-You...? You were the killer...?!" awww, look at her tremble! Her eyes were glistering with tears, and her plump, rosy bottom lip was quivering in betrayal. "You're too cute for this world, Y/N." he harshly put his mask down, before showing the girl the selfie he took as he mori'ed one of the survivors, and waved her goodbye with his knife, as she quickly descended down the ladder, soft whimpers echoing through the place.

"Till we see each other again, sweet cheeks~." the Killer rose to his feet, slamming down the hatch with his boot and wiping the blood from his knife with his latex glove, before laughing loudly at the endearing experience he just had.

If THAT was the reaction she had when seeing his little gift for her, imagine her cute faces when he'd actually go down on her, as he promised~.

[wizkiddx]

was thinking for toms most recent ig story it sounds like hes working out early everyday, what if u did a blurb where the reader does it with his and its like best friend --> something else ? sounded like a you type of story, id love if you gave it a go ❤️💕

oohkay so sorry this lit just came through this evening and I suddenly got v stupidly into it (if u put in a req before that I promise I am working on it I just got way to invested cos this is stupidly cute) xxxx

summary: what starts off as tom taking you under his wing and some sunrise workouts together might just develop into something more

“It shouldn’t be legal…. to be doing anything… this fucking early!” Spoken, well yelled, in between the fake strokes of the exercise bike and your pants. All you got in response was the two men laughing at you, no sign of sympathy at all, as your gritted your teeth - fighting against every body instinct to stop the movements. Your heart was pumping like the clappers; breathing shallow and rushed and your arms… your arms felt like they were about to fall off. Combine that with the lack of sleep from waking up before the sun did at 5 am - meant you felt like your were in literal hell.  

Why ever you’d agreed to do these workouts with Tom and Duffy escaped you. Being the new and rising actress, with a new supporting role in the next Spiderman, meant you’d spent a lot of time with Tom over the past few weeks. Not to inflate his ego either, but Tom had been a real life hero to you. See, you were the complete opposite of his experienced and seasoned professionalism - this was your first acting gig. And what a gig it was, the second biggest part in a Marvel movie. You never really believed you’d get the part and even when you did, were pretty sure it was some elaborate joke, where Ant and Dec were going to jump out from some corner and go ‘ha its a prank!’ or something. 

Yet somehow it was all still happening, you had been flown halfway across the world to spend three months alone on a film set. Well obviously not alone, but you knew no one - you were a complete outsider. That, really, was the reason you’d agreed to do these sessions with Tom. He’d offered half heartedly while between takes as you were moaning about how out of breath you got in that scene. At that point, you’d only known each other for a matter of weeks, he really hadn’t expected you to commit to 5 am each and every morning. What he wasn’t aware of though, was how ocmplerly stranded and lonely you felt here, hence why you jumped at his offer. 

And yes you loved to moan and complain when you were there, however you were also so incredibly thankful he ever offered. Duffy, Tom’s PT, was a right laugh too and he took great joy in torturing you - and was also entertained by the new and inventive ways you’d insult him after he ordered you about. 

“Come on Y/n, 200m more and then we are done, even your little arms can survive that.”

“Really … not the encouragement… I was looking for.” Still panting, face bright red and blotchy as you pressed your legs straight again.

“Tom? You wanna help Y/n out?” 

“Nah you know… kind of enjoying seeing her in pain.” The British voice laughed from somewhere behind you, making you roll your eyes.

“Why the hell… are you not… torturing him?” He sounded way to comfortable and relaxed to be working hard. 

“He’s got a stunt heavy day today so wanted to go easy this morning.”

Now that was a bloody joke. You were BOTH filming the SAME scene today, doing the SAME stunts. 

“Did I forget to mention Y/n is on set too?” The joy in Tom’s voice made you want to do horrible things to him. Even though you felt like you wanted to collapse on the floor, you’d happily do a set or two on a punch bag right now - if that punch bag was Tom’s face. 

Before you could hurl some fresh abuse at your costar, Duffy called time on the rowing machine, turning the display off and passing your water bottle over as you slouched on the slidey seat. 

“Done good Y/n/n, I am actually super impressed with your progress” The stocky man patted you on the back genuinely, bringing a bit of smile to your otherwise grimacing face. He went over the chat to Tom about some boy shit that you couldn’t care less about, allowing you a couple minutes to get your breath back. As soon as you did and tried to dismount the machine of death, your ruined legs seemed to have other plans, shakily buckling so you ended up starfished on the floor, groaning at the dull ache that came with the sudden movement. 

And what show of concern did Duffy show you? A belly laugh that echoed round Toms indoor gym making you groan again, throwing your forearm over your eyes. It was in fact the curly haired brunette, who came and knelt by your side, wordlessly balling up the towel and placing it under your head as you shot your eyes open in shock. 

“You okay? Sorry… I might’ve taken our friendly competition a bit too far.”

“I just… just might have to gain the power of flight this afternoon cos my legs aren’t gonna bloody work.” Tom chuckled and shook his head at your dry humour. 

“Oh I’m sure we can talk to Jon and get that arranged… not like Marvel don’t spend years crafting the script and storyline for a newbie actor to change it all.”

“Might I remind you… they wouldn’t have to if your weren’t such a dickhead!” You exclaimed, sitting up and staring at him with an exasperated look than only made him burst out laughing again. 

“I’m sorry I’m sorry… I just cant take you seriously when you look like such a tomato!” His voice went an octave higher as he laughed at himself, the situation getting even worse for you when you heard Duffy join in too. 

The boy was bloody lucky you couldn’t lift your arms right now, otherwise they’s almost certainly be attempting to ruin his pretty boy face. 

/////////////////////////////

After a long day of shooting you and Tom were in one of the set buggies, being taken back to your trailers to change for the evening. There was a peaceful silence until Tom ruined it yet again.

“ Got any fancy plans for this evening then?”

“Well you know me, back to my lonely little old place and  frozen pizza - so living the movie star life.” 

“It’s a Friday! You not going out with your team or anything?” He sounded so bemused at your quiet plans, and mention of a ‘team’ had you cocking your head to the side. 

“‘My team?’ Tom until I get my movie star pay check I can barely afford my pizzas, never mind a whole persons wage.” You were still only three weeks into filming and although you spent an hour every other morning sweating your ass off with Tom - apart from that you’d tried not to impose yourself on him too much. You didnt want to look clingy and naturally Tom always had a mountain of people vying for his attention - you would go to the back of a long line. So honestly, you were still a bit of a mystery to him, right now you’d both only scratched the surface on each other. 

“Really? I know this is your first big job but I thought you’d have someone here?” 

“Nah… I mean I’ve kinda clung to the Marty on the camera crew but he’s going to see family tonight sooo.”

“Come back to mine. I’ve swapped Harry for his twin Sam, which is a bit of an upgrade cos Sam’s a chef. He just arrived last night. I bet he can one up any pizza you were planning on.”

“Honestly I don’t want to impose, sorry I didnt mean for this to be a pity party or-“ The buggy slowed to a stop and Tom instantly vaulted out of it, standing right infront of you and blocking you exist off the back sofa. Both of you were still in costume, Tom in latex and you in your corset-esque two piece, but then both wrapped in matching long line black jackets supplied by set. 

“No come on I’m serious… Sam’s dying to meet you and it’d be good to spend more time together. You know, cos of chemistry and all.” The last bit was a switch from his cool and smooth, normally easy going tone - into something a bit more… anxious? Just like that, before your brain even knew what it was doing, you agreed, smiling broadly and nodding. 

So barely an hour later, you were knocking on the doors to Tom’s mansion-ish rented Atlanta home which was much much more grand than what the studio had arranged for you. Even though you were here most mornings, this time it felt different. Yeh it was stupid, but you can’t help the way you feel and you were stressed. For no real reason… just, just because. 

Thankfully, it wasn’t awkward at all  and you especially instantly hit it off with his younger brother Sam. Everything just felt easy and simple which meant so much more considering you’d felt so isolated an alone halfway across the world for your home comforts. Being British too, simply chatting to the two young men about your hometown and growing up was just so familiar, it really helped you feel less homesick.  Naturally too,  you’d fallen into a casual and friendly ribbing of Tom with Sam, making the three of you spend to majority of the evening cracking up (or in Tom’s case pouting at the abuse). It was a nice change from the two on one attack you got from Tom and Duffy that morning. You’d all cooked dinner together… well no, you and Tom had stood idly watching Sam cook an amazing chicken curry dish - which he promised to give you the recipe too. Honestly Sam felt like your long lost best friend, especially when it came to your shared ability to berate Tom for anything and everything. 

About an hour ago Tom had stuck on the film, effectively shutting up you and Sam - thankfully for him since Sam was just about to get to some rather embarrassing stories of Tom as a kid. You and Tom were on the longer grey sofa; with Sam sat  the other side of the coffee table in an impressively soft armchair - looking as though it was swallowing the lanky boy. The calm, the silence and the comfort was only going to go one way for you though. After your workout this morning, plus all the running and jumping during the shoot,  after what had already been a pretty intense week, it was hardly surprising that you didn’t even notice yourself drifting off the sleep. 

Who did notice though? Perhaps your brown haired costar who’d been stealing glances across to you ever since the movie had been put on? Because as much as he hated to admit it to himself, this didnt seem to be panning out as a normal job. A normal job is something you put your all into, for a couple weeks, and then leave with good memories and a good pay check. Yes, he had only known your for a matter of weeks or so but it already seemed to be unfathomable to cut ties with you. How would he go without your kind mannered abuse everyday? You were just refreshing, new and mysterious. And Tom was more than intrigued, his interest was peaked. 

And it was stupid to feel like that…. Of course it was. You can’t fancy a colleague because things get complicated and awkward. Tom knew that. 

Then why was he now delicately draping a blanket over your frame and smiling smally when you hummed in your sleep, in what seemed to be a show of appreciation for the layer of warmth? 

Because you were his excited puppy of a costar who is giving everything she has for the job? Because he is worried and wants to look after you? Because he cares? 

No matter why, in that moment you were contented and as was Tom. Oh and Sam? 

Sam saw the tell tale signs in his brother. He saw the way Tom had been touching your arm or the small of your back just a little more than what would be considered normal while he’d been cooking. He’d seen the way Tom had been laughing purely because you had. His eldest brother never did anything rash, it was always a painfully slow process for everyone involved. But Sam thought this just might be the start of something. The start of a slow burn.

As a casual MCU viewer it feels like it just gets worse and worse despite me liking what was released this year for the most part. Maybe Loki just was such a giant let down, or "a cosmic disappointment" as they would say, that it kinda cheapened everything else to me. As someone who haven’t read the comics The Eternals doesn’t intrigue me, and I only feel like they’ll mess things up further more. And I’m not as excited as I should be for upcoming movies/series with characters I’m familiar with. I kinda accidentally rejoined the MCU fandom because of the series’s releases but now I’m dreading what���s to come and just trying to ignore it reading fanfics and consuming fans’s content. (Sorry about this rant, just have a lot of things on my mind.)

yeah I think the issue is that they have lost our trust. I had some issues with Venom 2 but it didn't feel like an insult or a slap in the face. it just felt like the writers had a different vision than I would have if I were writing the story and made some writing choices that I personally did not like. It didn't feel intentional or malicious at all. I still enjoyed many parts of the film and I felt like the film appreciated and respected its audience. MCU films don't feel like that. They feel malicious and in bad faith.

MCU films really increasingly feel like they are giving the middle finger to parts of the fandom that they dislike for the crime of interpreting or engaging with their story the "wrong" way. I didn't expect stucky to be canon but I also didn't expect the active and hostile F U to the stucky fandom that was Endgame, or the way Steve's character was entirely destroyed just to try to kill any possibility of someone even interpreting his relationship with Bucky as romantic. Or the way every other character arc was ruined. And the Loki Series was such a disgrace and insult and so obviously hostile and malicious to the actor, the character, and the fans.

So like. why should I keep watching their stuff? I know they are going to ruin the characters and stories I like. And I know they are going to lie in their advertising. Not obfuscate. Straight up lie and even go so far as faking footage (remember all that footage in the Loki trailers that looked promising and just...wasn't in the show?). I know that they don't want me or my type of fan and will do everything they can to make u feel unwelcome, so why should I give them my money?

Also why get invested in new stories and characters when I know that they never follow through not he story and character arcs they set up? I just don't trust them anymore. And my entertainment budget is for things that are fun for me. If I'm not having fun, I'm not gonna pay them money!

[woulddieforperrytheplatypus]

What're some of your favorite moments between Doof and Perry during Phineas and Ferb?

You have absolutely no idea how fucking long I spent making this video fhdsjahkjaf I’m gonna gush under the cut about why I liked each one so y’all don’t have to deal with me if you don’t want to lol

These are in no particular order. They’re just numbered to line up with the reasoning. I added lil descriptions to each of them but you’ll probably have to either watch the video first or have a pretty good memory of the show to understand them lol

1. “Dr. Wexler, you’re a platypus?” (A Hard Day’s Knight)

Literally just the way he says, “Dr. Wexler, you’re a platypus?”

2. “Is every platypus named Perry?” and then Perry bites him (AT2D)

M O N C H (also Heinz calls him cute) (also also “We do not bite the elderly!”)

3. Perry tries to fly him and Heinz home from the desert but Heinz flips the turbo switch and they lose the jetpack (Road to Danville)

“Like you didn’t know about my switch-flipping compulsion!” They’re literally an old married couple omfg I can’t even (also moment of appreciation for the fact that they’re close enough that Heinz just assumes Perry knows about his switch-flipping compulsion) (another moment of appreciation because Perry probably does)

4. The end of the Perry/Doof subplot of Terrifying Tri-State Trilogy of Terror

First of all, the way Perry decides to run under his giant floating head when going around would take two extra seconds? Beautiful. And, of course, Perry’s fucking smirk because that’s just not his problem lmaooo

5. The pause in the FIGHT FIGHT IT’S A PLATYPUS FIGHT (Doofapus)

I love that they literally just stop mid-fight to have tea. I firmly believe there is no other pair of nemeses that would do that and this is just how Heinz and Perry work. Also, Perry’s smile? He feels so understood? It’s so pure?

6. Vanessa lets Perry in before he can break down the door with his rocket launcher and then Perry accidentally shoots it through the wall (My Sweet Ride)

“This is why I can never have anything nice -_-”

7. Heinz doesn’t trap Perry (Road to Danville)

He’s so confused fjdahfksdhfak he literally goes out of his way to get trapped at that point (even if he pretends he doesn’t) and Heinz flipped the script on him without telling him and his lil shrug is so cute and I just jsfhkjadhsk

8. There’s a Platypus Controlling Me (Brain Drain)

You had to know this one was gonna be there

9. “In your letters, you said your nemesis was a suave, semi-aquatic personification of unstoppable dynamic fury” (Oil on Candace)

The fact that Heinz sent his ex-professor a letter gushing about his nemesis is just *chef’s kiss*

10. Perry and Dennis are fighting in giant puppets in the street and Heinz recognizes Perry piloting the puppet because of his fighting style (The Return of the Rogue Rabbit)

I’m pretty sure this is the only time Heinz ever recognizes Perry without his hat on (correct me if I’m wrong tho) and the fact that it’s literally just because Perry punched the fuckin camera kills me every time

11. Heinz is worried they won’t make his play in time so Perry tells him to flip the turbo switch (Road to Danville)

Perry just trusts him so much??? Flipping the switch was what got them into that mess in the first place??? But Perry cares so much about Heinz making his LOVEMUFFIN play that he’s willing to give it another go??? I love it???

12. DANCE BABY DANCE BABY HANDS IN THE AIR (Candace Disconnected)

I feel like we don’t get to see Perry just kinda hanging out like that a lot. He’s always doing that steely glare, even when they’re having fun. I don’t think Perry really realizes how emotionless he can look sometimes (the beginning and end of Sidetracked are from Perry’s POV especially at the end, the way he acts with the boys shows too much character for a secret agent, so even though he seems to think it’s obvious that he’s all lovey dovey with them, he does much too good a job at hiding his emotions) but it’s nice to see him drop the facade every now and then

13. Heinz calls Monogram because Perry hasn’t shown up (Perry the Actorpus)

I know Perry’s not technically in this one but I love that Heinz a) calls OWCA when Perry doesn’t show up and b) looks so nervous as he calls OWCA because Perry hasn’t shown up

14. Perry brings Heinz a glass of water (Road to Danville)

Half this episode is just them being mad at each other because they blame the other one for sticking them in the desert with way home, and I love that even though Perry’s been fuming pretty much the entire time, the second Heinz actually starts yelling at him, he’s immediately hit with a wave of guilt (also I love that he somehow found a glass of water in the middle of the desert?)

15. “YOU PEED ON MY COUCH!” (AT2D)

Not gonna lie, I mostly picked this one for shits and giggles BUT that doesn’t mean I can’t overanalyze it because that’s what I do best. Perry’s whole role in the show is to tie together the two completely unrelated plots, and that’s only so entertaining because not only does neither side know the other, but neither side knows what version of Perry the other side knows. This is the first time Heinz has really connected mindless pet Perry with Agent P Perry, and I feel like that was the most interesting part of the movie was that Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and Heinz all saw a side of Perry they didn’t know. 

16. Heinz invites Perry out for lunch (The Quietest Day Ever)

Heinz doesn’t even know he got hit with the de-handsome-inator. He literally just thinks he lost, and his immediate reaction is to ask if Perry wants to hang out. I just love those lil insights into their relationship when they’re not fighting. Also, perry.exe has stopped working.

17. Honestly just all of Father’s Day

I hate knowing that chronologically, Father’s Day had to happen probably less than halfway through the summer and not towards the end like it does in the episode order. It’s such a sweet turning point in their relationship. Perry’s head all these horrible backstories about Mr. Doofenshmirtz and I can only assume he hates the guy, but he’s still so supportive of Heinz trying to win his approval -- and he’s supportive when that fails and Heinz needs someone to lean on.

18. Perry Lays An Egg

T H W A R T   M E   P E R R Y   T H E   P L A T Y P U S 

19. Heinz proving he knows how to shut the fuck up by refusing to shut the fuck up (Road to Danville)

Perry’s literally about to fight a bitch and I can’t blame him. I also like the lil look into Heinz’s thoughts with the “it’s not like I have to fill the space” line because it really explains a lot about him.

20. Perry waiting for the New Year’s ball to drop and for Heinz to finish his scheme (Happy New Year!)

Once again, a beautiful look at how their entire relationship is based on their routine and knowing what to expect. It wouldn’t be Heinz and Perry if there was not punching and kicking involved. (Also, Perry’s smug face while he waits) (Also also, Perry’s lil shrug)

21. Heinz invites Perry to hang out in his house in the suburbs (Put That Putter Away)

GIVE PERRY A DAY OFF (but for real I love that Heinz literally just asked if he wanted to hang out, AND that he assured Perry that he’d make sure he didn’t get in trouble with Monogram for it)

22. The end of Sidetracked

THEY? HOLD? HAND???

23. “The thing that’s kept me from succeeding all these years is YOU!” *turns finger around* (Road to Danville)

PERRY IS SO DONE WITH HIS SHlT I CAN’T FDJAFHDJLSFHDSAKJ

24. Roger tries to say hi to sleeping Perry (Just Our Luck)

How often does Perry have to fall asleep around Heinz for the guy to know he gets testy when someone wakes him up?

25. The brief New Year’s dance break (Happy New Year!)

THEIR DANCING IS SO FAST AND SO IN SYNC EITHER THEY REHEARSED THIS OR THEY JUST KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL THAT IT JUST HAPPENS NATURALLY AND I WOULD DIE FOR THEM OKAY

26. Perry accidentally became famous for advertising tools and then shows up at DEI (Perry the Actorpus)

He’s so happy to see his nemesis again :,)

27. “You think I’m evil, right?” *finger guns* (Oil on Candace)

Perry is at least partially responsible for how horribly that day went, but that’s his job is to make sure evil scientists don’t impress other evil scientists. You don’t want, like, an evil scientist team up or whatever. But I’m decently sure there’s nothing in the job description that says Perry has to stick around and assure his nemesis that he’s good at being evil, so that’s all Perry’s doing.

28. Perry pulled an all nighter and shows up at DEI asleep and Heinz has to try not to wake him up (Just Our Luck)

The amount of respect it takes for Heinz to see his nemesis sleeping on the job and go out of his way not to wake him up (but to make sure he’s still included, of course; he’s not a disrespectful guy, even if he is evil) warms my heart

29. Perry shows Heinz a bunch of their pictures together (This Is Your Backstory)

a) I love that Perry carries those pictures in his wallet 

b) I love that those pictures exist at all

 c) I love that Heinz has enjoyed his nemesisship with Perry so much that it basically negates every tragic backstory
