#oooh im absolutely FERAL

[jazzzzzzhands]

I have sunken my fingers into every inch of the update

I have found much and I have much to say!!

But it is 2am and I gotta sleep before I spam you guys with theories!

But for now...

Has anyone solved this code yet??

[tonberry-yoda]

Oooh, I have another idea!

Cuddling headcannons with Leon!

It can even toothrotting fluffy if you want! 🥰

Or just... regular amount of fluffy. You can decide.

Cuddling Headcanons with Leon

notes - WHEN I SAW THIS I COULDNT HELP BUT DO IT AHHHHHH. I love this guy with all my heart and soul and have been craving to cuddle him tee hee <333 Thanks for the Leon request! Ily <3

he loves being little spoon

like when you lay your face in the crook of his neck and your lips are there

he's dead

he loves that

omg im going feral just thinkin about it

he loves when you run your nails over his scalp and just give him head scratchies

he's purring

yeah

but he also loves being big spoon and laying kisses on your neck to help you fall asleep

he also likes to talk to you softly while cuddling

it helps him sleep

he likes to run his thumb over your hip

he also just loves to breath you in

take a big ol whiff before he absolutely passes out

he will squeeze you so close when he's big spoon, like this man will not let go, sorry not sorry

but when you're big spoon, he will be pressed so close to you omggggg

he also loves to cuddle while watching movies on the couch

he will talk during the movie, i just see it

but he's cozy, so it's fine

and he also is ALWAYS warm

like so warm omg

if he has to leave early, there is a warm spot where he slept

and he smells good

like nice cologne

so you'll always kinda smell like him when you're done cuddling <33333

okay usually I write my stuff in my notes but im absolutely fucking feral over your natasha/steve/bucky post.

Now, I’m not opposed to Nat being in the mix (I fucking ADORE Nat in everything she does. everything. she’s my pookie and if she wants to commit war crimes she can), but I also want to hear your opinion on sub!steve and sub!bucky just… desperate to please each other. Both of them have just enough dom in them to help the other go all sweet but other than that they’re just two stupid but oh so sweet puppies. Just so needy for each other and to be good for the other.

I’m not even sure that made sense but I just… I am going bananas over this. Also, my brain did come up with the same dynamic with Seb and Chris but honestly if I think about that for more than around 30 seconds I will implode.

related to this

Good, I love it when you're feral

Oooh, yes, sub on sub. Subpiling, if you will. I love nothing more. Maybe I'm just thinking with my dom brain, but yeah 🥴

Soon, soon I'm opening my requests again (I'm so close to being done with this term it's agonizing), I promise, but, until then... I have actually written something like this before:

Okay, But What If Not One Sub But Two!?

Two Subs And Two Johns

Hopefully, you enjoy those, either re-reading them or seeing them for the first time, lol. Go fucking nuts.

Lmao, completely fair. That's an incredible disaster waiting to happen 😮‍💨 although with how subby Sebastian is, I do imagine it would end up with Chris whining through orders while Sebastian turns entirely, completely useless. A puddle of butter in the sudden, just a mess.

Also, might I interest you in Sub!Evanstan With Dom!Hayley And Dom!Anthony? 'Cause I forgot until just now that I did write that 😏

10 fandoms / 10 characters / 10 tags

tagged by @virgo-dream and @seiya-starsniper, thank you! this took me a while... the way my hyperfixations work is, i'll completely devote myself to a piece of media for a time... then once i find something else i move on almost entirely lol. i of course still have a very soft spot for the shows/video games listed here (as well as my blorbos, such as they are) but the only fandom im currently active in is, of course, Sandman.

1: Levi Ackerman - Attack on Titan

I am in a love/hate relationship with AoT lmao (and some day i WILL finish the final season) but nothing, not even fandom war, will ever change my love for Levi. I'm obsessed with his backstory, how he came into the Survey Corps, and how it all sheds light on the decisions he makes and the tragedies he suffered through. I was fascinated by him since S1 and after the No Regrets manga came out, I was done for. He has been through so much and despite how cruel and unforgiving he seems, he actually has the biggest heart and-- guh I just love him. He deserves the world ;^;

2: Zuko - Avatar the Last Airbender

Truly was torn between Zuko or Katara... but I have always had mad respect for Zuko's redemption arc and how brilliantly it was written. I love how it takes a full season and a half for him to have this war within himself, that he makes the right decision but then regresses... before literally becoming sick with indecision and change. And then he finally proves his worth and becomes the most loyal friend and a perfect leader to rebuild a broken society. I'm a sucker for good character stories, and Zuko's arc in ATLA is my hands down favorite ever.

3: Roxas - Kingdom Hearts

God I just love tragic male characters, huh? lmao. This one is a no brainer to me. Roxas is the OG blorbo. I fell in love with him at the tender age of 17 and have never looked back. He is kind and loyal but also a feral gremlin. He is so goofy but sad and god dammit, I love his voice and his baby blue eyes. Also this line, "This could have been the other way around." *shakes fist* MY BOY!

4: Faye Valentine - Cowboy Bebop

We love complex characters in this house! Faye has all the traits of a character I usually wouldn't vibe with: she's arrogant (without much to back it up lol), lazy, and is susceptible to addictions. But oooh do I love a character who uses negative traits to hide how emotionally vulnerable they are. Faye appears strong, mean, and confident to a fault, but inside she craves companionship and is incredibly lonely (despite her lone wolf tendencies). Rewatching the show as an adult, I found Faye and I have a lot in common lol. She needs a hug.

5: Hob Gadling - The Sandman

Do I really need to say anything? lol I love that Hob is the fandom's plaything; molding and shaping him and writing him in all sorts of different ways... but I do adore his canon character. He is brash, stubborn, at times cruel and violent... but then immeasurably kind, loyal, and forgiving. He takes on immortality in unexpected ways. he thrives, he suffers, he works, he regresses, he makes mistakes, he learns from them, he changes... he is THE human experience.

6: Daenerys Targaryen - Game of Thrones

Robbed. Robbed. Absolutely robbed. The writers did Daenerys so dirty, I refuse to accept the final 3 seasons of GOT as canon lmao. (and here's another thing: I would totally accept her spiral into "madness" if it had been handled seriously. If the writers didn't just pull this out of their ass and instead thoughtfully worked in justifiable reasoning for her to go crazy). I'm 100% a stan and there's actually nothing you can say that will change my mind :)

7: Cal Kestis - Star Wars, Jedi: Fallen Order

My SON. My BOY! I have the adoption papers ready.

8: Tifa Lockhart - Final Fantasy VII

Another OG blorbo lmao. She's been with me since I was a teenager (also I always shipped her with Cloud, not Aerith. I do however ship Aerith and Zack... the latter whom almost made this list. Anyway-). Tifa is the badass motherfucker with a heart of gold. She is insanely loyal and truly the wisest of the bunch.

9: Mickey Milkovich - Shameless

ANOTHER BROKEN CHARACTER WHO GOES THROUGH EXTREME DEVELOPMENT? Can anyone sense a pattern?? This motherfuckerrrr *shakes Mikey and slaps him in the face and sobs* God I love it when a seemingly irredeemable character goes THROUGH IT and comes out shining a new, yet somehow the same old, sarcastic bitch.

(Also please note that Lip Gallagher almost made this list. Another shining example of the writers doing his character the WORST injustice just to keep him on the show. He should have stayed in college. He almost GOT OUT. He almost broke the chain. What he did was not in line with his character and I will stay mad about it).

10: Cesare Borgia - The Borgias

THIS. GUY! AURGH!! Arrogant, violent, sexy bastard. You piece of shit. Cesare actually did everything wrong, he doesn't want to be redeemed. But he is so fucking charismatic and I love that he uses it to his advantage. He's so fucking smart and quick on his feet. He's SUCH an asset on the battlefield. And he LOVES his family! He will kill a bitch with his bare hands if they dare insult his mother or sister. I love that he grumbles when given advice from literally anyone that isn't his most trusted friend, bodyguard, and assassin, Micheletto. Doesn't even flinch when he discovers Micheletto is gay, actually teases him for being a momma's boy, and genuinely grieves for his loss when he flees. He says out loud how he misses him and actually begins to doubt himself without Micheletto there to counsel him. Cesare is everything to me, actually.

🤯😈🤡🍆🍦💖

Thanks for the ask! Turbo's answers under the cut! Here's where you can find the emojis for the ask game!

🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

Probably romance. I'm not a very romantic person but that's to be expected considering my, uh, psychological standing (sweats in ASPD). I've been told that the romantic and soft and family shit I write is really nice and feels real, but I'm just making shit up man, haha. I do a lot of self-projecting when I write sweet shit because I wanna give my characters what I can't have. ❤️Thankfully Turbo is here to make me brainrot and think about all of the sweet shit. Otherwise, the fics would be a lot darker than they already are.

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

Like kill Sun's cats? OH YOU SAID PLAYFULLY-

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

Any time Killcode acts like a feral cat I get a good laugh. He's just an oversized cat who acts like one too his lovers as well. Including play fighting them (much to Flare's dismay as he gets pulled away from tasks).

🍆 Do you write the spicy stuffs? If so, what's your most popular nsfw fic?

I do haha. My most popular nsfw fic is The Deal because that's the only one uploaded so far. TMiB is just the sequel to The Deal so it doesn't count.

🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?

Oooh that's tricky. I would say The Deal except that's got uh. . . death. lol. Probably Erros in Resentment just because it's me projecting on Eclipse like all fuck and he gets the happy ending that I think he deserves. Without more suffering. It's kind of my love letter to my disorder (ASPD) since Eclipse and Ruin both have it. There's something beautiful in the absolute devotion a sociopath can have to someone, the unwavering loyalty, and that's often taken for granted because we don't love in the traditional sense of the word. It's meant to show that people with ASPD can still be happy, and change, and grow and improve and live meaningful lives without causing harm to people around them. Not even just ASPD, but all Cluster B disorders. That someone who is aromantic by nature can still find happiness with someone else, even if it's not a romantic companionship, but rather just a sense of belonging. Like I said, it's me self-projecting on Eclipse, and Ruin also having ASPD? That was just the cherry on top for me. I can't promise when it'll get updated, though.

💖 What made you start writing?

I've always been writing! I just normally kept it to myself or roleplays. I've been writing short stories since I knew how to write, though.

Turbo's turn!

🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

serious conversations? probably some heavy- really heavy shit i think

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

that one time me and alex hinted at a solar x lunar shit. But it was one sided

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

Any scene where bloodmoon swore in the deal. it just hits different because he dosent swear so much in my ehes

🍆 Do you write the spicy stuffs? If so, what's your most popular nsfw fic?

THE DEAL LMAO

🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?

A little snippet called "bloodmoon, eclipse, lunar, and burgers" 🥺 (its not found anywhere but on a discord server lel im too shy)

💖 What made you start writing?

[mintys-musings]

too busy to stop and properly write anything but what're your thoughts on all the adult members of the overnight outdoors club going at it 👀

- @sucrows

oooh i have many thoughts now that you bring it up- putting it under cut bc im annoying and ramble dhdjdg

first of all- so much hair pulling potential. niki, leo, mayoi are not safe. though niki is more likely to pull others hair than the other way around. if they go out camping to somewhere secluded to be absolutely feral with each other, mayoi hides softer bondage rope in with all the camping gear. also plugs. bc every adult in this circle has a mild breeding kink.

kuro is going to be shooting blanks by the end of this. leo is getting bred, nikis getting bred and bread, mayoi is DEFINITELY getting bred and not just by kuro. these akatsuki mfs just getting the attention of their whole circle... niki and mayoi get to witness brat tamer kuro against ultimate brat leo !! stud kuro comes out fr fr !!!!

but yeah mayoi is getting passed around like no tomorrow. kuro ties him up all nice and they all get a turn stuffing mayoi~! niki might also end up getting tied and used but it's okay ! mayoi feeds him while niki's busy getting dicked down. bonding experience with the boyfs 💚

goes without saying too but- niki and leo are giving little bites and hickeys to everyone. they feed off of each other's chaotic energy so gl to kuro and mayoi handling them at their horniest o7

and after alls done, kuro and niki are the malewife duo with aftercare and warm yummy food to eat before they rest up 💚 love them. niki and leo are both little spoons btw

... sorry my neurons decided to activate as soon as i got to answerin this adgdkg

[lazypanartist]

I got stuck with an Incredible idea for ROTTMNT based on how I have little self control also am a terrible influence--

Listen, we all understand Besties. Your closest friend who helps get you through things, that talks you out of dumb ideas, that gasses you up and makes you feel good but also keeps you tethered to reality.

We Understand Besties.

But what about the boys with their Worsties?

Im talking the friend who somehow helps you get in trouble. the friend who encourages stupid shit. the friend who would have your back if you did something illegal, because theyre right next to you doing something just as bad. The one where "Ohhh i shouldnt im on a diet" means nothing because theyre like "🙄🙄 omg but you want that sundae just get it. live life! have fun!"

The friend who brings out the worst in you...But like...in a Fun Way.

Raph, sweet as he is, with his worstie who somehow always gets in trouble or encourages less than legal things, but always has his back and will be willing to take the fall for him. Only one of them has been to Juvie, and lets be honest, they'd eat poor Raphael alive in there. Worstie may drag him into stuff but thet always also get him out.

Leo with his Worstie who is his hype man- for better or for worse. Yeah, Leonardo, that leather jacket looks sick on you. Omg yeah you should totally as that guy for his number. Pfft, only one flip? Those are bitch numbers. I dare you to do three. I'll bet $40 you can't. Leo's going to fly too close to the sun with how eager he is to take any bet from you. But at least you'll be by his side yelling for him to do a stunt.

Donatello's is probably the worst. "Oooh donnie isnt that laser super dangerous?? oooh donnie where did you get the uranium?? Donnie i dont think hacking the CIA is a great idea-" Man shut up. Donnie you totally should do all of those, and your Worstie is ABSOLUTELY gonna help you hide the evidence. His worstie is going to be encouraging all his dangersous inventions and he LOVES how he can have his Feral Moments with someone at his side. Who cares about a little Geneva Convention violation when you made your PC able to run Minecraft WITH shaders and mods without any stuttering or lag? Oh yeah, or the literal miniature nuclear reactor, thats cool too. BUT MINECRAFT-

Michelangelo has the most sinister but mundane worstie. The worstie who, if you say "I need you to say I dont need this/talk me out of this" theyre absolutely saying you need it, like, yesterday. Poor impulse control AND persuasive are a tricksy combo. Instead of a devil and angel on either shoulder, Mikey just has a devil on one side and you on the other pointing out that really fancy over priced way too sugary slice of cake is exactly what he needs right now. And man....Worstie.... maybe youre right....

This concept just SENDS me because you know what?? You're absolutely right. We've seen that none of the boys have the *best* impulse control, but with their worstie? All goes down the drain.

Also I love when you send me these things, thank you for trusting me enough to post for you ^-^

[evadingreallife]

Tagged by @diari0deglierrori2 way too long ago tbh, i got around to it just now sorryyy

3 ships:

Well.... I have to say wangxian from mo dao zu shi bc i am never getting over them. Its been 5 years and im not over them yet sooo...

Then hmmmm ive been on a bnha bender lately and ive been reading a lot of dabihaws fanfics?? Despite never having gotten to the whole hawks drama in the anime?? Lol. I am made of spoilers at this point and dont even care anymore.

Lastly hmmm... you know what, im gonna say cumplane from svsss. Yes the shipname is hilarious yes i love the full meta implications this ship brings to the table about who binghe represents and all. Also they're two buffoons in a trenchcoat and they're hilarious, sue me.

First ever ship

Oooh this is hard. If we're talking first first i HAVE to say nihal/sennar from the Cronache del Mondo Emerso. But, like, i didnt even know what shipping was then. If we're counting conscious shipping time then we land in my twilight era yes i had one yes they were my introduction to fandom spaces and fanfics as a whole. Yes i was team jacob. Also i had a zutara phase at 12yo. I regret so much.

Last song

Cenere - by Lazza (i didnt like him during sanremo week but im listening him way too much now help)

Last movie

Kill Boksoon - on netflix. Weird, but i loved how the actress went from hidden feral in crash course in romance to full out feral in this movie. Also bonus points for the daughter drama ily. Plus, whatever the hell was going on with the triangular table in the boss' office in the last scene? I want that level of chaos.

Currently reading

Way too many fanfics tbh. Also ive been rereading the 2nd erha book waiting for the official release of the 3rd one EVEN THO ITS BEEN PUSHED BACK WHAT GIVES???

Currently watching

Nothing much tbh. Ive been feeling like a black sails rewatch tho. Ill probably get around to that soon.

Currently consuming

Chocolate eggs, the last crumbles of colomba and one (1) last fiadone. And im making some tea rn (check out my Best Tea poll and get angry at my absolutely correct tea opinions! I love to sow chaos)

Thanks for tagging me, now im tagging @tonfea, @ladyunderthemolehill and @casual-asexual, and whoever wants to join in is welcome to!

[celiastjamesoscar]

Let's arrange a play date. I bring Sam and you bring Frank. I just have to meet my idol!! The picture of her at 2 am is EVERYTHING! What was she even doing?? Girlbossing! I love her creepy character.

Oooh I LOVE sandwiches!! Subway is my life source here. Then I'm also a soup gal. I will inhale all kinds of soups. But my all time favorite good is Asian food. I go feral for it. Honestly all kinds of foreign food tbh.

Hozier is such a musical genius. Great choice! I prefer all kinds of rock music. I got many favorite bands but Linkin Park and Paramore are probably the top 2 for me.

I have never read as many fics as I did with Nat and Wanda. It's nearly criminal. Plot wise I don't even care anymore what they are about, I will consume anything. If you ever write a Natasha/Wanda fic I will inhale that immediately but thinking about topics is incredibly hard, so always only write what you want and what you have ideas for. On my way to school I saw a woman who looked similar to Nat and I was flabbergasted!

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJwE56EH/

She's hot in everything she does

We seriously need to have a playdate between them!! My dog just got his balls cut off, so Frank is in need of a playmate for the next 2 weeks. That picture of her haunts me 😭 she was standing on my dresser and trying to pull my records off the wall, then she got mad at me when I yelled at her and told her to stop 😭

Subway is amazing!! My college has a subway in the student center, so my college friends get that every Thursday and sometimes I go with them. IM A WHORE FOR SOUPS!! Asian food is so good too! I agree with the foreign food

Linkin Park and Paramore are two completely different music genres (imo) and I love that for you!!! Paramore has some songs that I really love

It physically pains me to say this, but Wattpad has some really good natasha fics that I absolutely love. I’ll have to find them for you. You are so lucky for seeing that woman!!!

HOW IS SHE SO FINE?! THE SHOWER SCENE AND THOSE TANKTOPS- IM FERAL

[jeysbvck]

4, 13, and 38 for the weird writer asks!

4. what’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral? - oooh this is hard, im not sure that i go feral over words as much as i do with phrases, but (and im glad this doesn't ask why bc i don't have an explaination) enchanted & worship come to mind as two words that i just loooove! (maybe they're in my head bc i wrote them in a wip recently)

13. what is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy? ive been finding smut more difficult to write than usual, im not sure why bc im a huge slut in theory! i find it pretty easy to write about more...not light stuff (angst, grief, abuse) because i can tap into lived experiences and it helps process the things i feel! (plus im just angst in the form of a human!)

38. what is something about your writing process YOU think is Really Weird? If you are comfortable, please share. If you’re not comfortable, what do you think cats say about us? im not sure tbh! i only use my phone when writing, i don't use my laptop anymore. and i tend to write when im settling down for bed, that's honestly when most of my fics/wips have have been written!

writers asks!

[emmamountebanks]

God okay wow you with those three really opened up something feral within me excuse the really poorly late night written rambles.

I, with my oh so professional opinion, think these three would be the best (read: worst) wingpeople of all time for one another.

Emma and Dylan wearing hilariously bad disguises (like,,,fake mustaches and sunglasses bad) while stalking Laura and Max's date?? The obnoxious kissing noises in the background when Max and Laura share little kisses that make Max .4 seconds away from throttling the two of them? Laura having the time of her life and kissing Max just to hear Dylan and Emma tease him so his face turns tomato red??? Beautiful. Stunning.

Max and Dylan third wheeling Emma and Abi's dates with off key Timon and Pumba lion king trio's down to 2 singing making Abi laugh so hard she's snorting and Emma is caught between swooning over how cute her gf is and burying 2 lads alive??? Them earning their heads being knocked together so they end up sulking over ice cream but still loving how sweet Emma is being?? Abi drawing it all to remember the look on Emma's face when Max started belting Pumba's part so off key it hurt? I'm losing my mind over here

And Dylan and Ryan, oooh Dylan and Ryan. The. MOST. Awkward people you could ever see on a date. They both look like they want to hold hands. They both DO want to hold hands. Neither of them does until Max and Emma step in. Emma is one second away from taking Dylan's arm and wrapping it around Ryan's shoulders. Max takes a more subtle approach of pointing at Dylan's hand and Ryan's before locking his fingers together to make a point so Dylan gets it (and the look on Ryan's face when Dylan stops chickening out makes Max and Emma's shared stress worth it)

I am writing an essay here oh my god lol. I think they would all have sleepovers and Emma would paint their nails while they discuss their respective partners and dish out advice (mostly to Dylan) because they DESERVE to be BESTIES

(thank you for your work, I love reading all your thoughts on them, you have opened my eyes to the possibilities and I am THRIVING. Forgive the essay, you have me excited over here haha)

OH MY GOD dont apologize for the essay all of this is so perfect and i love it

emma doing their nails is such an amazing idea. like ngl ive thought about her doing makeup on everyone - and i mean everyone - and i feel like max and dylan would def be the most receptive to a manicure soooo. hell yes. and they would 100% just talk about their love lives and help one another out. and again max is the most Voice of Reason guy here because hes in a committed relationship but emma and dylan are STRUGGLING and hes doing all he can to help his gay besties get their shit in order.

genuinely so in love with all of these ideas. they are 100% the kind of friends who would just be absolute menaces when it comes to trying to get their love lives in order and they are not subtle in the slightest but they'll still do it.

the timon and pumba thing has SENT ME and im so happy u have fed me blygbank in the process because it makes it all the more better for me.

[jazzzzzzhands]

HI!!! I LITTERALLY ADORE YOUR QUESTION ANSWERER DESIGN!! I JUST WANTED 2 SAY THAT

Oh?? You like... Him???

Well He is a very very busy man, I'm not sure if he would notice your affection!! I'm sure he would be flattered if he wasn't tangled up in his work!

But word to the wise, I would be careful around him! He has been known to be quite...

tuesday again 6/21/22

i never have to go back to the high school or possibly the town where i went to high school Ever Again bc my youngest sibling has graduated and im going to ride that high as long as possible

VERY long mobile game review, tried to be objective about quality of life stuff and how successful certain mechanics were but (spoiler) didn't like this one very much

listening i am being true to the original concept of this section, which was "what song have i had on loop this week bc it does something to my brain, even if it's kind of goofy or cheesy, instead of cherrypicking my shuffle for an indie song i think more people should listen to."

anyway this is lion by saint mesa, which was not originally written for a tv show as i first surmised but has been featured in several. if i can imagine some sort of long-anticipated trading caravan lumbering toward a watering hole somewhere in a blasted wasteland (even if it is extremely not the story the lyrics are telling me) i'm going to put that song on loop, perhaps for an entire hour of a six-hour drive.

reading fallow week

-

watching i watched Legend (1985, dir. Scott) in two chunks, about half last week and then the rest when i got back from traveling this week. i find myself consistently intrigued but lightly disappointed by scott's films. however, his films' visuals are fun in a way i appreciate. more of this please. "oooh the noir enjoyer likes heavy use of light and shadow and literally this exact framing in anything" thank you i am already aware

tom cruise would have been better served as the puckish but amoral fairy prince The Gump, i feel. like sure. he's a prettyboy and also a feral wild boy, and he does do the early parts of the movie when he doesn't talk very much very well... that felt a bit mean. he does a very good person who lives just outside of civilization and regard it all with some bemusement and feels no particular need to follow it. the film quickly snaps him into the mold of a silver-tongued rogue who can charm or squirm out of anything, which feels off. bring back feral tom cruise. the princess also has an odd moment of wits, which is an odd contrast with a very clumsy lie in her earliest scene, where she steals cookies from her old nursemaid and then tells baby tom cruise oh no she absolutely made them herself :) there isn't much on-screen character development for her between these two scenes, just being dragged away and kidnapped.

i chilled the fuck out a lot after realizing this movie was far more interested in the costumes/sets/visuals than any theme more complex than light vs dark. most irritatingly, the ending does not seem like our loving pair learned a single goddamn thing from this whole escapade or that it changed them in any way, she's still a spoilt irresponsible princess, he's still head over heels for her. this movie is not interested in the corrupting force of monarchies vs the corrupting force of i think the literal devil??? simply not what i am looking for in a film, and i did not see this at a formative enough age for the campiness to really nest itself into my soul, although i do appreciate it.

love a good Waltz that Corrupts. the visual language of tim curry’s lair is quite striking- the use of light and shadow is doing a ton of work to suggest more detail than there actually is, and make sets look more complex and larger than they actually are. you simply do not get fantastic grandiose sets like eighties fantasy movie sets any more.

tim curry was terrific, the creature design was terrific, everyone is always slightly sweaty and covered in glitter, i liked guessing how the costumes were put together. there are worse films to spend two hours with.

how'd i come across this: watched it as an edgy teen

-

playing it's time to dissect another mobile game that almost worked for me but didn't. i've tried to be objective and really get down into why the mechanics made choices i didn't like, even though i don't play a ton of this genre. the last big collectible trading card gacha-ish games i played on mobile were dragalia lost, something that was very similar to panzer waltz but i can no longer find the name of, world flipper, and sinoalice. not my very favorite genre of game, but i do dabble.

anyway i came across dislyte bc they got an investment recently and have an extremely aggressive and kind of shady marketing campaign.

here's the good: it's extremely fucking pretty. the character design and costuming/props are great, there are so many unique animations! the soundtrack and background music are fun, if in a slightly generic clubby top radio hit kind of way they're probably going for on purpose, and the little schtick of the menu music being announced by "dislyte excerpts radio" is funny to me. an interesting thing is "reviews" of characters that anyone can leave in their own separate little menu (which are all thirst comments basically, y'all down CATASTROPHIC for the jackal man), and the little "% of people chose this!" when you get points to assign to attributes. i think that specifically is a neat touch that will iron itself out eventually and be more representative of what people over time pick, but also: sometimes the favored build isn't very good for what you're trying to do with a character.

the bad: incredibly poor tutorials and menu design, it's a glorified autobattler.

tutorials, quality of life kvetches: i still do not understand very basic things such as "how to change who attacks first" and "what the fuck Does elemental strategy like Actually Do". weird fuckin things are overly complicated, like levelling up the little trinkets you can equip to a character that are a mechanic in every collectible gacha card game ever. there's a lot of different materials. there's a lot of different kinds of trinkets. there's some suggested trinket builds but heavy reliance on percentages AND percent of a change, which i fucking hate. tell me in simple words like "3x damage if this effect is active". i don't want to do mental math for your game and i do video game stats for a living.

on a related note, like many other collectible card games, this is "menus the game" but the "main" menu is laid out across four goddamn different screens.

on a related note to that related note, these menus are DEEP. you can get four or five menus deep on the character pages (i am not redownloading to double check). i should never be five menus deep into anything at any point. combine shit.

point three or whatever, everything is so fucking tiny. i have an iphone 12, which is a reasonably large modern smartphone. many many phones are smaller. i should not be holding my phone four inches in front of my face trying to make out which glyph is which because i can't zoom. (image)

actually point four bc this screenshot compilation reminded me: you have two different types of menus and ways to open them just on the individual card page: the bottom bar, and the tiny icons on the side. that's not even all the tiny icons, you have to hit the arrow to expand and see them all. that's simply too many options and it's confusing and hard to find things.

combat: again this feels like it started out life as an autobattler and then pivoted really late. fighting is simply tapping a button to activate an ability. there's no timing element, there's no real strategy behind saving up your abilities and gaming the cooldowns. you also start off with no cooldown on any abilities, which is very weird and makes it so you can just fucking mulch a level without being touched once if you're levelled up enough. if you're not levelled up enough, you die Extremely quickly. i truly don’t understand if i'm supposed to have a strategy? this video if i've timestamped it right should let you watch the first actual team battle. thrilling!

length of time for combat: everything in this game has a fancy little animation that is very pretty but takes forever. the game itself suggests enabling 2X battle speed. this is not a game you can bust out and play a level in line for groceries or something, and it's not really meant to be, but the length of time it takes to get through a level is on the upper limit of what i expected from a collectible card game and often strained my patience, especially in multi-stage battles. there doesn't seem to be a way to auto-run through the levels yet. i also don't find that kind of game intrinsically fun to play, so it's unlikely the inclusion would make me want to continue playing, but it's odd that there isn't that option when it's there in so many other games like this.

conclusion: i seem to have slammed into a hard pay to play cap at the end of chapter eight after three days/idk ten hours of on and off play. so this is where I leave it i think. for the next Big Update i would expect the menus to be radically overhauled and significant quality of life improvements to be made, especially with regards to inventory, but the art and music is not enough to make me keep playing until then. mostly because i didn't pull a hot butch-of-center lady i fell in love with, unlike genshin which almost immediately gave me beidou.

making lemon garlic paprika chicken. slightly too heavy on the lemon. no pics all gone.

after some vigorous discussion with my sister about saturation and hue, swapped a bunch of shit in and out of frames and hung up some shit in my living room. they are on either side of the front windows, which makes this awkward bc my view is very doxxable.

anyway, because i think i'm funny and isn't that really the most important thing in life when you think about it, amusing yourself, red for port: an 8x10 photograph acquired at my favorite used bookstore/ephemera/florist in the world, a black canary poster acquired from a free comic book day Several years ago, a terminator: dark fate poster i grabbed on the way to go see the charlie's angels reboot but never actually got around to seeing terminator: dark fate until last year.

blue for starboard: flyer from a show i went to matted Much bigger than it actually is, signed poster from my favorite roommate's cousin's band, poster from a show i did Not go to bc i ended up having to work but i do think it's one of the better posters wmua ever did

hi ale <3 finally having enough coherent thoughts so i want to do the bias love letter thing hehe <3 warning and apologies for how extremely long and incoherent this is 😭

gonna start of with main man, bang christopher chan, because boy is my love for him overflowing lately!!!

he's one of my absolute favourite people on the entire goddamn planet and i just love him to bits. he's so sweet and loving and he has always been there for me in my worst times and i find comfort in him. over the past 8/9 months of knowing him, he's become one of the most important people in my life 🫶

i really admire his work ethic and how hard he always works and how diligent he is! i absolutely love seeing him on stage because no matter what he's performing he always gives his all and it's so pleasing to see.

and goddddd i love love LOVE the way he showers his members with so much love and affection and is so caring towards all of them >:( but i absolutely have to say that my #1 dynamic with chan is chansung. chan and jisung together is just something absolutely so personal to me. i never really understood why but maybe because jisungie is his first kid it just makes me go absolutely melty and soft 🥰 their first 2 kids room together is one of my all time favourite skz videos and i cherish it so much <3

favourite chan moments r endless but some of my top ones are the ever iconic 'i'm fOive', him singing 'sweater weather' on channie's room, absolutely any interaction he has with twice/got7/day6, when he looks at the members oh so fondly and his 'stray kids world domination' in kingdom's god's ddu ddu ddu performance <3 also when's especially smol/tiny bc i just want to keep him safe and give him the entire world. and also when he smiles because it gives me another reason to live and makes my heart skip a beat <3

chan singing on channie's room is just something im generally whipped for hehe, and his interactions with his twice/got7/day6 just make me go all soft because chan being babied and bullied is just so endearing to watch <3 AND THE GOD'S DDU DDU DDU PERFORMANCE JUST MAKES ME GO ABSOLUTELY FERAL SO YEAH THAT TOO-

also shoutout to this very important gif set that i actually have an attachment to

and finally some channie pics bc he is my beloved!!!!!

percabeth as songs bc they own me

in no particular order along with era i associate it with and three lyrics that made me choose it.

waves by dean lewis : so i picture this in the post-btol/pre-tlo yearning™ era. this would definetly be more percy centric but theres still some angsty percabeth content.

A feeling I thought was set in stone; It slips through my fingers: percy's reckoning with the fact that one of the only steady thing in his demigod life is changing, and for the first time he doesnt know how to act around his best friend. (and annabeth reckoning with the only steady thing in her life in general changing) its! about! the! yearning!

Down to the place we used to lay when we were kids: best friends percabeth stargazing. thats it.

I watched my wild youth; Disappear in front of my eyes; Moments of magic and wonder; It seems so hard to find; Is it ever coming back again? Take me back to the feeling when; Everything was left to find: ok whew. i think this is when percy really starts to realize how powerful he is and it frightens him. its no longer just oooh i can breathe underwater and oh cool i can will myself dry. he claimed the prophecy at the end of ttc, but the weight of it is heavier now. he misses when being a demigod was bright and shiny and new. he misses being a kid. and he misses being a kid with annabeth. he misses her calling him seaweed brain and ruffling his hair and explaining this world of gods and demigods and monsters to him.

bedroom ceiling by sody: also post-btol/pre-tlo era BUT annabeths perspective.

How am I supposed to know you're not the one? : ok so this may just be me but i have this hc that annabeth is terrified that loosing a love worse than death wasn't luke turning into kronos, but her and percy never going back to how they were. its worse than death because hes right there and can't look her in the eye. i think the not knowing whether it was him or luke kills her far after the quest is over.

I wonder if you're moving on; If you are, what's your secret? 'Cause I can't work out where to start: annabeth was definetley hit hardest by lukes betrayal/giving himself over to kronos, and i think one of the things that unsettles her so much about percy and rachel isnt just plain jealousy. she cant comprehend how percy can think about anything else but saving luke stopping kronos. but she wants to. she wants so desperately to hate luke and to stop caring about him like percy does so they can go back to what they were. but she cant.

Is your bedroom ceiling bored like mine? Of you staring at it all the time; 'Cause it's seen so many nights where I cry and I yell at the sky for not telling you how I feel : i mean. self explanatory.

i'll keep you safe by sleeping at last. i picture this as percy's silent vow to keep annabeth alive during tlo. he never expressly makes the promise but the sheer number of 'don't touch her'- especially after the incident on the bridge- says it all. (now you could most certainly place this in tartarus and it would fit just as well)

Hold out your hand, can you feel the weight of it? The whole world at your fingertips: THIS IS THE ACHILLES SPOT TERRACE SCENE YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. (side note that scene makes me go absolutely FERAL) also i just think that hands>>. on a more serious not the “can you feel the weight of the world at your fingertips” how percy holds the weight of the world on his shoulders and in sharing his weak spot he is sharing the burden.

You'll be an architect, so pull up your sleeves; and build a new silhouette in the skylines up ahead: c’mon man. yk what this means.

Our mistakes, they were bound to be made. But i promise you i'll keep you safe: when it comes down to it the angst, the fights, the jealousy, the confusing feelings dont matter. and as soon as they start fighting (and as soon as annabeth gets hurt and the prospect of losing her gets real, all that matters is seeing his best friend alive.  

fine line by harry styles: this song encompasses percy and annabeths growth over the pjo series. im probably gonna do a percabeth edit once all five seasons come out bc of how perfectly it fits. so era is pjo in general but pre-hoo

You’ve got my devotion, but man I can hate you sometimes: this is tlt - som annabeth to percy. need i say more?

we’ll be the fine line: fine line is a great phrase for there entire relationship. until tlo they're always toeing against a line between something. the lines between reluctant allies to actual friends. pretty good friends to best friends. best friends to something more.

we’ll be alright: this is repeated in the song like a mantra growing louder and desperate. i like to think this is both a wish and a promise. even if they're life never slows down they’ll have each other and they'll make it alright. 

if youre still here thanks for listening to me rant and attempt analysis. im a mess about them lmao. i have a ton more so if yall like it ill do a part two :) 

[hematomes]
