RICKY AND Y/N DO A 1 MIN MAKEUP CHALLENGE ON TIKTOK

“baby, hold still” you whine. Ricky opens his eyes and mischievously flashes a grin at you.

“you’re gonna lose y/n” he taunts. With seconds left on the clock, you opt to skip the eyeliner completely. Picking up a berry shade lipstick and hastily applying it to the center of his lips.

“All done!” You yell to the camera, putting your hands in the air.

Ricky catches you off guard and grabs your jaw to plant kisses all over your face, leaving kiss marks on your cheek. “Now we’re done” he says to the camera before continuing to kiss you, this time on the lips.

could you draw Momo and Okarun slepping together?

I don't think Okarun will be sleeping too much until he gets used to it

It's interesting how Laios struggles to remember Kabru's name right away, yet is able to recall the feeling of his grip well enough to immediately understand that something isn't right (Kabru being cuffed)

SPOOKY MONTH OC INTERVIEW MEME

this is intended to be "in-character"; you answer as if you are your character OR like a story/narrative! you don't have to though. send a number to the user/reblogger (if they ask for it) for them to answer the question!

you might notice that there are alternative questions under the same number. you can choose one that suits your character OR answer both if it applies!

there are also questions that are for certain characters, so be sure to mention if your character is non-human or cultist, etc.! it is also up to you whether your OC is answering honestly or not! ;]

for any clarification, please see the "read more"!

GENERAL

1. Who are you? Describe yourself in a few words!

2. Where did you come from? Were you born in this town or did you move here, etc.?

3. How’s your family? If they’re still around, what relationship do you have with them?

4. Do you celebrate “Spooky Month”? If you do, what is your costume?

5. What's your favourite type of candy?

6. Who are your friends in this town? (other spooky month oc's can be included!)

7. Are you dating anyone right now? If not, are you interested in a partner later in life?

8. Do you work? If so, what/where do you work as, and is that your dream job? (IF OC IS A CHILD) What do you want to be when you are older?

9. Has two certain kids ever caused you trouble? Or are they friendly to you? I think they call themselves Skid and Pump.

10. Pick 1–3 different characters from this generator. If you know of them, what are your thoughts on them?

11. What is your opinion on the town's current mayor, Narciso Evermore?

12. What is your opinion on the overall police force? Reliable? Reckless?

13. The town is a bit dangerous from time to time. Can you fight? Can you protect yourself? Are you willing to kill?

15. Do you know of (or have seen) the group of people who wear red robes? Any thoughts on them?

16. Have you seen the two big stars in the sky? It’s pretty cool, huh?

IF OC IS A CULTIST:

17. Can you share with us why did you join this group?

18. Since joining this group, what is your view on the towns(people)?

19. How involved are you in this group? Do you do anything, or do you seek recruits or are willing to... work behind the scenes, etc.?

20. How loyal would you say you are to your leader/The Eyes?

- - - - - -

Because this is like an interview, the questions are written rather vaguely with implications, so it's up to you to write as of your OC notices the implications or not.

Here is some explanations to help you answer!

For 10, some monster characters are included because while your character might not KNOW them, they might have SEEN or HEARD of them... heh

For 11, this is more about Evermore as a Mayor rather than a person; however you can interpret it as however you want!

For 15, the red robes is referring to the cult/cultists.

For 16, this just depends if your OC just sees it as regular stars, or knows it as The Eyes, or something like that.

For 19, "work behind the scenes" implies if your character would get their hands dirty AKA hurt others for the cult... like Ignacio! Or the group of cultists that targeted Father Gregor!

For 17–20, I say "group "because not all cults consider themselves as cults but rather another church or religious group, and cult members don't recognise they are in a cult either. WE know it's a cult; the characters (unless they are journalists or knows people in it) may not ;]

It's always funny to me when in an lu fic the chain is offered bananas and don't accept them. Like, you're offering these high energy adventures free food?? Fruit they'll have never even heard of before??? A ridiculously expensive imported good at best?? AND it boosts your attack?

Not ONE of these idiots would ever turn down something new and interesting to eat at least once. They'd be all over those bananas and immediately get dubbed yiga and I'm honestly surprised no one has used it in a fic yet 🤭

[petvampire]

Jerejean and the necklace 👀 you just know it’s bouncing around when they’re-

ohmygod YESSSSSS.

~

He can’t help but pay attention to it - the glint of silver catching the light. Renee’s cross, the one Jean always wears without fail, its original chain broken and replaced with a sturdier one. It falls two inches or so below the line of his collarbone, usually, far enough down to be tucked beneath a shirt collar, or hidden under his gear.

It’s very obvious now without anything in the way of it, the pendant swinging against Jean’s chest with every movement of his hips, every arch of his back. The Frenchman is currently preoccupied with riding Jeremy for everything he’s worth, and yet he can’t stop staring at the damn necklace while his boyfriend is bouncing on his dick. It’s so absurd, it almost drags a laugh out of him, one that turns into a groan as Jean grinds his hips down against him in a movement that makes Jeremy see stars.

Part of him wonders if he should feel some lingering spark of jealousy that Jean still wears the necklace, a piece of Renee always with him. Part of him wonders if he can give the other something that he’ll hang onto with equal care, wonders what he would choose.

Most of him, though, is just fixated on how perfect the pendant looks against Jean’s skin, how every movement of it emphasizes the elegant sweep of his neck and collarbones, the lean muscle of his chest and shoulders. It’s just a focal point that helps drive home how gorgeous the other is, as if Jeremy didn’t already know.

Renee would probably enjoy the sight, he thinks with an impish grin, reaching up to drag Jean into a kiss. Maybe he’ll snap a photo for her, next time.

any thoughts about charlie not going to prom? cause we get dees reasoning but not his.

Based on timing I'm assuming you sent the other ask right before this re Mac going to Prom so I will just muse on the concept of the Gang in high school and the idea of their prom here, if that's okay...

Something I think a lot of the Fandom ignores (or maybe doesn't remember or understand?) is that Mac, Charlie, and Dennis went to an all-boys Catholic school.

Mac and Charlie were losers in high school and basically only friends with each other for the majority of the time (and Dooley and Pete, but yk what I mean). Girls were not only a foreign subject to them, but in a completely foreign place (another school). The mere concept of, like, having a conversation with a teenage girl when they were 15 was off the table. Then, in comes Dennis. He seems to be popular and he calls himself a God when it comes to girls and he seems to have the experience and connections (see: Dee, lol), so that's enough to convince Mac and Charlie that he is one (a God, I mean to say).

I think a high school Mac would have been dick-notised by Dennis' ladies-man facade at first and desperate to rise to his level... mostly to impress him, but also because he was a horny teenage boy who had never even been kissed. But he was a loser, just generally embarrassing and dumb, and had literally no game due to looking 12 years old, so I don't think Dennis was all too eager to actually teach him how to be with girls, more like watch me bang them and learn. In my mind, this attitude results in Mac's eventual want to sleep with Dennis' prom date and his indifference to hurting his feelings over it (of course, I think blaming Tim Murphy and creating a rift between Dennis and his friend group was also an aspect here.. but I digress).

On the other side of the coin you have Charlie. I imagine Dennis' "pull" and attitude toward girls wasn't really something that won him over, but the exposure to girls wasn't a negative. He liked the idea of girls, and the idea of being friends with them, if they were like Dee, didn't seem terrible.. and they were pretty, especially the blond one whose name always escaped Dee...

Ok, all that being established as a general idea (of mine, I suppose lol), let's talk about the idea of the Gang [not] attending prom in high school.

The concept of prom for them, a boys' catholic school in the early 90s, would have been less like a typical public school prom (where the whole graduating class attends as a party together) and more like a formal mixer between the all-girls sister school (Dee's). Girls get asked out / show off their catholic boyfriends, while the concept of "going stag" was loser-ish or sleazy.. which makes perfect sense for Mac.

In my mind, Charlie may have been interested in going to prom with a certain girl, but Dee wouldn't introduce them and, honestly, getting high in the basement seemed like a better idea than approaching her himself (alternatively, he tried and retreated to the basement to get high). Mac definitely wanted to go to prom, though, probably worked hard to convince any girl to go with him, but he was/is the worst so literally no one was interested (and Dennis wasn't too keen to help him find someone). I imagine in the end he tried to convince Charlie to go with him as friends, they could find girls once they were there, but the idea was unconvincing and their many prior homosexual allegations coupled with the fact that Charlie ultimately wasn't budging on leaving the house (at a point of Mac pulling on him and trying to drag him into coming along) won the argument.

Eventually, a high Mac crashed prom on his own, mad at Dennis for not helping him out and having learned all his tricks on women from him, managed to isolate her and hook up with her without Dennis really noticing... when it comes out later that his prom date cheated on him with his friend, Mac is quick to blame Tim Murphy.. he and Charlie weren't even there, afterall, they were sniffing glue in the basement all night...

Request idea if you get the time.... Hero sneaking into a fancy ball at the vampires lair to try and find info on them, but gets caught when they try and sneak away (:< thanks!! Love your writing

“Leaving us so soon?”

The hero spun around, air stuck in their throat. Admittedly, they had a thing for danger. At first they hadn’t realised it. Their job was demanding physical and emotional endurance like no other but after a while, they saw beauty in the thrilling.

They couldn’t say anything. Their larynx didn’t allow it.

“It’s not even midnight, yet.” It was their first time dealing with a vampire, they realised. They had studied them for weeks, and yet seeing them in person made them uneasy.

As if they couldn’t comprehend who was standing in front of them.

“I’m sorry…” they answered and they didn’t know why exactly that came to mind.

“Oh, don’t be sorry, little dove. I’ve been watching you for a while now. These people aren’t exactly your type of people, are they?” The villain cocked their head with warm gentleness. “You should be more careful.”

A sweet warning. The vampire closed the heavy door behind them, silencing the music.

And the hall was long. The hero was sure they couldn’t outrun a vampire here on this slippery floor. Not in those shoes.

“I’m sorry, I…I’m not really familiar with these etiquettes.” The vampire smiled softly and the hero was quite sure they could see the ends of their fangs peak through their lips.

“It’s all just hypocritical pretentiousness. Don’t mind this.” The vampire took a step forward and the hero considered taking one back. But they didn’t. “I think we both know we’re not talking about high society, though.”

“Well, I was.” Again, the vampire smiled at the hero’s answer. They were very calm, very patient. The hero hadn’t read about that in any of their books.

“Cute little thing…Who are you, dear?”

“I have an invitation, actually.” The hero took out the little card, waving it in front of the vampire cheerfully. “So, you should know who I am.”

“Hm.” The vampire’s hand was around the hero’s wrist before they even realised it. The waving stopped and the hero’s breathing too. “An excellent copy. You’re getting more interesting by the second.”

“It’s not—”

“Oh, it is…” The vampire leaned in, voice lovingly low. “You’re smarter than this. Don’t think you’re the first human in my home.”

The hero tried to resist, tried to get away but the vampire’s grip was like steel.

“And don’t think I’ll let you go that easily, dove.” The tip of their nose touched the hero’s neck and for a terrible second, the hero got anxious. They didn’t know what they were feeling. This was a little more than “loving the danger.”

“I don’t want any trouble.”

“Liar,” the vampire whispered. They pulled away, hunger in their eyes and chuckled. “When you came here, you expected trouble. When you stayed here, you did too. But don’t worry. I can give you all the trouble you want.”

The hero wasn’t quite sure if they were excited or terrified.

[fratboykate]

Listen, BGAU has been TORTURING ME aaaaalllll week so here's 1.2k of the moment that's been circling my brain me since I woke up. This is obviously before they ever slept together.

---

Yelena stands by the black SUV, arms crossed, posture rigid. Behind her, the afterparty still thumps. Bass rattles through tinted windows, neon lights bleed pink and blue into the night. She checks her watch again. And again.

“Baby!”

She freezes at the pet name. A beat passes. Then she turns, slow and composed, to find Kate stumbling barefoot out the front doors. Heels in hand, mascara smudged, skimpy outfit held together by boob tape and blind faith.

“You promised me ten minutes,” Yelena says.

Kate lurches toward her, wraps her arms around her neck, and presses her face to Yelena’s neck. Inhales deeply.

“Hi,” Kate whispers into her skin. “You’re here.”

Yelena clocks the event security staring. She peels Kate off her with both hands, puts distance between them, then opens the car door in silence.

“Let’s go back inside,” Kate pleads. “Let’s have one drink together.”

“No.”

“Come on. One drink.”

“You’ve had enough, Miss Bishop.”

Yelena nudges her into the backseat.

“Rude.”

Yelena gets in after, slams the door, taps twice on the divider. The driver pulls them into traffic.

Kate slumps against her side, limbs sprawling. Drapes her head dramatically onto Yelena’s lap and blinks up at her, grinning.

“Baby, I wanna go somewhere fun.”

“Don’t call me that.”

“Why not?”

Yelena doesn’t answer. Just slides out from under her, careful not to touch. Her ears are visibly red.

“You’re so mean to me,” Kate murmurs, curling into the leather seat with a pout. Then she closes her eyes.

///

The ride is mercifully short.

Kate stays slumped sideways, one leg bent, dress riding high on her thigh. Her heels are somewhere on the floor, her mascara is a crime scene, and her whole body radiates the smug chaos of someone who knows she’s being watched and enjoys it.

Yelena tries hard to stare out the window.

“Dance with me.” Kate slurs. Yelena doesn’t answer. Kate rolls her head toward her. “Do you hate fun?”

“I hate liabilities.”

Kate gasps, hand to her heart.

“You think I’m a liability?”

“I think you’re drunk and I got a call saying you almost fell off a banquette trying to high kick in six-inch heels.”

“I landed it.”

“You fell on the sound engineer.”

“He should’ve moved.”

Yelena huffs. Long-suffering. She doesn't look at Kate. Kate pokes her thigh.

“You’re mad.”

“I’m not mad.”

“I like when you’re mad. You do the thing.”

“What thing?”

“The clenched jaw thing.”

“Miss Bishop…”

“I hate when you do that…I say one thing and you break out the military voice. So stiff. So cold. ‘Yes ma’am. No ma’am.’ So formal.”

The car pulling into Kate’s driveway gives Yelena the perfect excuse not to answer. She practically jumps out to get away from this conversation. She rounds the car and opens Kate’s door. Kate flops her legs out, blinking up at her like she’s about to cause trouble.

“You gonna carry me?”

“You can walk.”

“I could…but I don’t want to.”

Yelena sighs.

“Up.”

She grabs Kate by the elbows and hauls her upright. Kate sags into her immediately, forehead brushing Yelena’s collarbone. Yelena’s perfume is overwhelming. Jasmine, heat, sugar…trouble.

“I’m not wearing panties,” Kate murmurs.

Yelena goes rigid.

“I don’t need to know that.”

“I think you did.”

“Miss Bishop.”

Kate smirks.

“There she is.”

///

The walk up the stairs is torture. Yelena’s arm is around Kate’s waist, guiding her. Kate keeps dragging her heels just enough to be irritating. Her cheek rests against Yelena’s shoulder like she’s never known another home.

“You smell like anger and cheap soap.”

“You smell like tequila and bad decisions.”

“Soooo mean.”

“I’m not.”

“You are. You never let me have fun.”

“The last time you had ‘fun’ you threw a bottle at Steve Rogers’ head.”

“He deserved it.”

At her bedroom’s threshold, Kate stumbles again. Makes a show of collapsing against the doorframe with a dramatic sigh.

“You gonna tuck me in?”

“I’m going to make sure you’re on your side so you don’t choke on your own vomit.”

“Awww, you do care.”

Inside, Kate leans against the vanity, takes a long sip from a mostly-empty water bottle while watching Yelena in the mirror. Yelena crosses her arms. Doesn’t take the bait.

“You’re blushing,” Kate whispers, pleased.

“I’m not.”

“You are.”

“I’m not doing this, Miss Bishop.”

“You never do anything.”

“There’s nothing to do.”

Kate makes a soft humming sound, not believing her for a second.

“Want me to get in bed now, Officer?”

Yelena doesn’t answer. She guides Kate toward the closet instead, keeping one hand on her back. Steady.

Kate keeps sneaking glances, all coy and testing. She tosses her heels toward a wall. Then her earrings. Then reaches for the zipper on her dress.

“Don’t undress in front of me,” Yelena snaps.

“Relax. I’m wearing pasties. Probably.”

“That’s not…just pick something to wear and go to bed.”

“Make me.”

The dress drops. No underwear. One pasty. God knows what happened to the other. Yelena spins away. Doesn’t breathe.

Kate walks slowly to the bed, back straight, skin shimmering with body glitter and self-satisfaction. She climbs in. The sheets rustle.

“You’re so easy to fluster.”

“I’m not flustered. I’m trying to keep my job.”

“You like your job.”

“I tolerate my job.”

“You like me.”

Yelena turns, slow. Controlled.

“Good night, Miss Bishop.”

Kate’s already curled into the covers, watching her with that unreadable little smile.

“Why does being around me bother you so much?”

“It doesn’t.”

“It does.”

Yelena says nothing. Just walks out. Pulse reckless.

///

Yelena waits by the car, like always. Kate’s assistant emerges from the house and approaches her with his usual awkward energy.

“She’s asking for you.”

“What for?”

The twenty-something year old shrugs.

“Still in bed. Didn’t say.”

Yelena shakes her head. Trudges inside. Takes the stairs two at a time. She knocks once.

“Come in.”

Kate’s in bed. Still naked, but under the covers this time. She doesn’t look hungover enough for how much Yelena assumes she drank.

“I feel like someone parked a bus on my skull,” she groans. Yelena says nothing. “You’re quiet.”

“I’m always quiet.”

“You’re quiet in…a different way.”

“I don’t know what that means.”

Kate studies her. Smiles.

“Mmmm,” Kate adds, stretching. “I think I dreamed about you.”

“Sounds like a nightmare.” Yelena avoids looking at her.

“You ever think about pet names?”

“No.”

“I think they’re hot.”

“They’re unnecessary.”

Kate hums.

“I bet you’d lose your mind if someone called you baby in the right tone.” Yelena says nothing. Too long. Too still. Kate grins. “Good to know.”

“This conversation is inappropriate.”

“You keep saying that.”

Kate throws off the covers and stands. Yelena turns fast.

“Miss Bishop, put clothes on.”

“Do you really want me to?” No answer. Kate walks closer. Doesn’t touch. She’s just…right there. Voice all soft. “If I’m making you uncomfortable, I’ll stop.”

“You are.”

Kate tilts her head. Smiles again.

“You’re a terrible liar.”

“You don’t take anything seriously.”

“I take you seriously.” Too close. Too much. Kate adds, lower now, “So…firmly against pet names, then?”

“Yes.” Yelena’s voice comes out ragged.

Kate drops the smile. Not hurt. Not angry. Just… letting her go.

“Noted.”

She backs off, wanders back into bed. She grabs the remote. Turns on some loud, stupid reality show. Yelena stands there a moment longer, back still turned, fists clenched. She still hasn’t breathed.

“Did you need me for something?”

“Apparently not.” Kate doesn’t look up.

[haesunflower]

if you're still taking requests, could you do a zb1 reaction to the members accidentally breaking something really special you gave them (such as like a first date gift, or smth that you saved up to buy for them)? thank u sm!!

how i imagine they would all interact lol

₊˚⊹♡.....zb1's reaction to their members accidentally breaking something you gave them .....₊˚⊹♡

pissed (externally) : ricky

rightfully so, ricky is so pissed when he finds out a member not only has borrowed something without permission but has also broken it. usually he has no problems with members using his things, but he doesn't lend the stuff that you specifically gift him, like the expensive watch you gave him for his birthday

so when he finds the broken watch, he takes a picture of it and sends it to the groupchat asking "who the fuck did this". when he finds out it's gyuvin he has to be physically restrained by gunwook, because he has half the mind to tackle him. yeah....they'll be ignoring each other for a while after that.

but gyuvin apologizes everyday and eventually ricky got sick of hearing it. he even contributes a little to the repair fee but only ricky can truly afford to repair it lol.

pissed (internally): hanbin

he wants to get mad but hanbin can't because he's the leader. he already warned the kids not to play soccer in the room because they might break something...and true enough, not even 30 seconds later, they accidentally knock over the vase you got him

they send over yujin to apologize on behalf of the team (because they think sending the youngest would soften the blow) but hanbin doesnt say anything, instead, he just sighs and excuses himself to go on a walk.

hao gets mad at gunwook, gyuvin, and yujin on hanbin's behalf. literally nagging like a mom when he says "see what happens when you don't listen!!"

cries: taerae & gyuvin

taerae is actually so devastated when he learns that the guitar that the members borrowed during their reality show broke, the strings came off and it can't be repaired. he calls you, tears in his eyes, about how the members didn't take care of the guitar you gifted him like he thought they would.

he would only speak to the members when spoken to, and when the cameras are on. otherwise, it's the cold shoulder....scary...

later on, he finds out that it wasn't handled properly by the staff and he got an apology from the manager. after that, he went back to normal with the members, even saying "sorry guys i thought it was your fault ehe" and gyuvin screams "i told you it wasn't us hyung!!"

as for gyuvin, he's doing the dishes with yujin when the younger member accidentally drops the mug you both made during your first pottery class together.

his face is frozen like 😀as yujin says "sorry hyung, it slipped from my hands" and for the record, he DOES feel bad about it okay

especially when gyuvin is crying to gunwook, who is patting him on the back when gyuvin dramatically says "how am i gonna tell y/n it's broken, she loves that thing". ricky is trying so hard not to laugh at gyuvin's crying face, so gunwook pushes him away telling him to go elsewhere

silent treatment: hao

hao doesn't even speak to any of the members once hanbin delivers the news that some of their pets have used the plushy you gave him as a chew toy. he likes to keep the mangled plushy on his bedside table as a reminder of his anger.

he's petty and only speaks to the members without pets. it takes a while for the other members to figure out that he's been mad and giving them the silent treatment.

in an attempt to be peacemaker, hanbin suggests for the members involved to find an exact replica as a replacement. lol goodluck because you bought that in another country.

makes his members fix it: gunwook & yujin

it's hanbin that softly delivers the news to gunwook that the sweater you made him has shrunk in the dryer and he's like "excuse me what did you say hyung" 😶

hanbin gets ahead of him and explains to him all the theories he has in order to reverse it. but gunwook is good at science and helps them figure it out anyways, he gets peace of mind that way

as for yujin (not romantic okay), your joint art project was sitting peacefully in his bedroom when jiwoong accidentally knocks a can of paint on it. yujin is scarily quiet when he says "you're going. to fix that. right hyung?" and jiwoong cooly responds with "yeah yeah i will don't worry kid"

but for once, he isn't confident over something and has to wake ricky up in the middle of the night and bribe him to help fix the art project. ricky sighs but gets his painting materials anyways.

doesn't make a big deal out of it: matthew & jiwoong

he knows it's an accident, so matthew is so chill about it. i mean he's a little sad that the picture frames you gave him got knocked over, but so did the rest of the pictures on display – after they decided to set up the PS5 in the living room. though, he does ask hanbin if he could tell ricky off or something, since it was his idea to set it up on the mantle.

the tasks spills over to hao (who can't do it), so it spills over to jiwoong (who also can't do it, since ricky helped him fix his mistake)

to put it simply, jiwoong is unbothered because you are unbothered. if you were mad about it, he would be mad too. but you were there when it happened, and you watched taerae and matthew bicker over the lyrics displayed on the ipad you gifted jiwoong

in the midst of their argument, the ipad drops on the floor, screen shattering. all jiwoong could do is look at you, carefully awaiting your reaction. your face is like 😦 then 🤭 before you say "damn guys that was expensive"

matthew and taerae are spilling apologies as they hand the broken ipad to jiwoong for him to examine, only for him to look them straight in the eye as he removes the broken tempered glass – returning the ipad to them, as good as new "be careful next time, will ya"

Top five time travel movies/books! :D

See, the trouble is that while I love time travel as a concept, I haven't actually explored the genre that much. I haven't watched/read most of the time travel stories out there, sometimes because I just haven't gotten to it, other times because I'm very picky about content, other times because most of the time travel stories I run across are either "we're a bureaucratic agency dedicated to policing time travel" or "oh, no, what if we change history?" or "I fell in love with a hunky Highlander", none of which are the parts of time travel stories that interest me.

The most accurate version of this list would be a list of Doctor Who episodes (and maybe some Star Trek ones), but you specified movies and books, which is going to make this a much more difficult list to create.

The Day of the Doctor: Haha, I cheated, because Day of the Doctor was released in theaters, which makes it a movie! (So I can use it as a stand-in for all the Doctor Who episodes that are my favorite time travel stories). Thankfully, it's a fantastic time travel story and one of my favorites. It's a genius blend of both "stable timeline" and "changeable timeline" mechanics. Three different interweaving timelines. References to A Christmas Carol. Changing major events in the show's past without changing the timeline that resulted from them at all. A rejection once and for all of the "ends justify the means" mindset that had lingered over the reboot for too long. A masterpiece.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens: It's the classic Christmas story for a reason--and one of those reasons is the time travel. Going with Scrooge across decades of his own life and watching him undergo character development from that is a great use of time travel. (And there happens to be a great Doctor Who version, too!)

Star Trek: First Contact: It's fun when you get characters traveling from the future to a different time that's also in the future. Love all the worldbuilding details of these characters interacting with their past/our fictional future, and it's a pretty good story.

Shadowhand by Anne Elisabeth Stengl: The Tales of Goldstone Wood series has a structure unlike any I've ever seen in fantasy, and this book is the reason. The first three books in the series are in chronological order. The next two books are prequels that take place like a thousand years earlier. This book, the sixth, involves characters from the later time period time-traveling to meet characters from the earlier time period, and getting swept up in a legend that they've known since childhood. I remember very little about the book beyond that, but it's such a cool concept (with an unforgettable ending moment) that I have to put it on the list.

Love Strikes Twice: It's one of the very rare Hallmark movies that's actually a decent movie by normal movie standards, so I have to give it credit. Instead of the usual boring time travel plot of "oh no, what if we change history?", we get someone who's trying to change history, who does change history, and it's a good thing. The time travel mechanics surrounding that make no sense, but who cares? It's a fun story with an engaging cast, legitimately funny jokes, a sweet romance, and a solid plot.
