"[we kill your children] because you train them to shoot at us" do they though, Isaac. do they perhaps arm their kids to help them defend themselves from zombies. you know, since they do not live in a well-fortified base defended by a professional military. did they maybe have to start teaching them to fight wolves too because your guys freely say stuff like "i don't care if it's a woman or a kid, i don't care if it's a fucking baby, look what they did [and kill them]"

OSCAR MENTION IN NEW MALEV, HE DIDN'T FORGET HIM!!!!

[amtrak12]

[purpleturtle9000]

“Want to hold?” Kestrel asks, fingerspelling with the hand not holding the duckling.

There’s a squeaky noise that must be excitement, since Bee holds his hand out at the same time, shifting back and forth on his feet.

“Gentle,” Kestrel reminds him, just in case, and sets the duckling down in Bee’s palm.

Seeing Bee pick up a tiny creature is vaguely nerve-wracking. Sure, it knows that Bee won’t hurt anyone – but the duckling is, in fact, very small. This is probably how Raph felt, watching Bee pick up Kestrel.

The duckling patters around in Bee’s hand for a moment before settling down. It looks fluffier than it did a minute ago. And it looks content, even when Bee brings his hand up so he and the duckling are face-to-face. It peeps at him, and he makes a noise back.

Bee brings his hand down, and the duckling hops off, flapping its little wings as it runs between Kestrel’s legs and back to the reservoir. Kestrel smiles as it watches the little one go.

Revenge? | M.R

Plot: Your bf cheats on you, what happens next 🙀

(TW: NSFW) >New series for this! <

It was preposterous. Absolutely unbelievable. You stood there watching as your boyfriend- soon to be was ex making out with the girl he told you not to worry about, which of course you obviously should’ve.

Your blood boiled as you walked up to him, grabbing him by the collar and ripping him away as roughly as possible. You weren’t just mad, you were furious. How could he do this to you? “You fucking pussy. You quite literally could’ve just ended things with me you prick. I’m so done with you.” Not giving him any more chances or pity apologies you walked away, once out of the room you ran to your dorm.

Later that night

A much needed crying session later you heard a harsh knock on your door. Without getting up or knowing who it was you whispered a charm and unlocked your door, to your surprise it was Mattheo Riddle. “Y/n, you do know there’s a such thing as a silencing spell, don’t you” His eyes had a piercing gaze for a moment before he finished examining you, his face fell slightly yet he fixed his demeanor, slowly stepping inside and closing your door.

“Either you’re blasted, or you were crying, so which one is it.” He said blatantly sitting down on a chair near your bed. “Fuck off Mattheo, you don’t even talk to me” You flipped over in bed, annoyed at the unwanted intrusion of your privacy. “If you didn’t want me in here you wouldnt have opened the door” He sent a small smirk your way despite you not being able to see it. “In my defense I didn’t even know it was you”

You both sat there in silence before you reluctantly turned back over to face him, “Why haven’t you left yet” You sighed deeply rolling your eyes looking at him. “If you’re really just gonna be a bitch I can leave” He rolled his eyes in return, beginning to stand up. Without thinking you held your arm up grabbing his instinctively “Don’t go, I’m sorry.” You quietly apologized causing him to slowly sit back down.

You removed your hand from his and to break the awkward silence you spoke, “My boyfriend, well I guess now my ex boyfriend cheated on me. I literally caught him making out with her openly in public” I scoffed still dumbfounded as to how oblivious I was. “What an ass. I’ve seen him, you’re too hot for that anyway”. His words made your cheeks blush slightly so you attempted to hide it by stretching.

“I just can’t believe he played me like that” I looked back at him, “You know, we could get some revenge and have some fun” He winked at you and smirked. “And what exactly would this revenge entail?” I cocked my eyebrow at him curious yet intrigued. “Well we could act like we’ve been dating this entire time, pretend we’re finally ‘going public’, and by that I mean we full send it by making out in front of Parkinson and tell her skanky ass we’ve been together so she can spill it to the entirety of this school.”

To say I was shocked was an understatement. I mean the plan obviously needed some major readjustments and we’d need to come up with a story but it honestly could work. “Are you gonna say something or am I just gonna sit here and look like an idiot who came up with an awful plan” He shook my head in his hands catching my attention.

“Yes.” I looked him in the eyes. “We could make out tomorrow then, but you know, I could use a bit of practice” he said nonchalantly , you were still making eye contact so there was no way for you to ignore this, your face was getting hotter by the second, no telling how red you were visibly. “Come on sweetheart, I have a feeling you need the practice too, don’t you?” He smirked.

No thinking needed you just nodded your head yes, and just as thoughtless as it was for you to nod your head, he immediately launched towards you and connected your lips. A soft moan left your lips as soon as you felt his tongue enter your mouth, attempting to fight for dominance in the kiss and failing miserably. His hand came up and softly squeezed your throat causing another soft moan to escape, you covered your mouth instinctively but he ripped it away replacing it back with his lips.

Keeping a grip on your neck he parted your legs with his left arm and rested his knee between your thighs, purposefully rubbing against your heat. More small moans were coming out and you could feel him getting hard against your stomach. He leaned closer to your ear, kissing and nibbling a bit before whispering, “Be careful amor, if you keep moaning like that I might just have to fuck you already”

His knee never stopped rubbing against you, and you were more turned on in this moment than any time with your ex. You didn’t want this to end, even if he wouldn’t continue with your plan afterwards. “Then do it Matt, Fuck me.” You looked at him and gave the best fuck me eyes You could. With zero hesitation he yanked your pants down discarding them across the room followed by your underwear. You started quickly taking your shirt off as he himself got undressed.

All of this happened in what seemed like under a minute, before your lips were back attached to eachother and he was rubbing his tip up and down your soaking entrance. “Fucking hell Y/n, I knew you were hot but I didn’t think you’d have this pretty of a fucking pussy” He began to speak but it turned into more of a moan as he sunk himself deeper and deeper into your dripping cunt. “Fuck, and you’re dripping” He moaned once fully inside.

You couldn’t help but let out a loud moan, needing to adjust to the big size. He looked so hot above you too, especially being able to see his abs from your angle “Oh my god! Please keep going” You looked at him, already needing and begging for more. “Shit you’re so perfect. I’m going to ruin this fucking pussy” He whispered the silencing spell quickly before he began to harshly pound into you. Louder moans than before began filling the room as his aching dick fucked in and out of you.

He pulled out and got off of the bed, yanking you to the edge and flipping you onto your stomach. “Put your ass up for me princess” He smacked your ass harshly making you moan, a soft chuckle leaving his lips at that. You were scared he might’ve wanted to do anal, yet you obliged nervously arching your back. Without warning he slammed into you, definitely hitting your cervix. A pain and pleasure induced moan left your lips and that only fueled his fire.

He kept going at a relentless speed, your eyes began rolling back and you couldn’t hold back any noises even if you tried. You felt yourself starting to unfold, your stomach tying in knots as your release inched closer. “I’m so fucking close Mattheo fuck fuck” You could barely get your words out, they were more like whimpers and screams. “Cum all over my dick, I’m not done with you yet” He slapped your ass which sent you over the edge.

You were seeing stars, your body was beginning to shake as he pounded into you, his arm reached under and began rubbing over your previously teased clit, it was already swollen and sensitive and you couldn’t control anything. Tears started to roll down your face as you came all over his dick, tightening around him making him moan more and more.

Your body collapsed down but he picked you up by your hips and kept going, his thrusts got slower but they were still deep and consistent. The overstimulation was driving you insane, it was something you didn’t know you needed. He pulled out and flipped you back onto your back. “If im going to cum, and if it’s going to be because of you, then I need to see your gorgeous face and these amazing fucking tits” He smirked at you and slowly thrusted back inside of you before grabbing your boobs and putting your left nipple in his mouth sucking and pinching the other.

Your walls clenched around his dick once again, and you felt another orgasm coming, this time it was more bearable yet you were still so overstimulated and turned on you were a moaning mess. He started speeding up and picked his head up to look at you, his hand stayed on your boobs massaging them and pinching your nipples but he was close. Even though it’s your first time together you could tell.

His thrusts were getting sloppier by the second, he threw his head back moaning and throwing around curse words, with a few more hard thrusts you felt his thick cum coat your walls and as he pulled out slowly the warm substance dripped out slowly. “Fucking hell” You sighed completely laying back exhausted. “So, we still on for the plan?” He winked.

I rly hope this is good but tbh the more I read it the more I don’t like it 😭😭

Also! I feel like lowk this would be a good mini story/ series? Like the actual revenge and such, maybe them getting into a relationship… who knowssss. But it’s only a thought I’d need your feedback!!:)!!

[everettswritings]

Hihii. I've been reading your fics for a bit now and wanted to know if I could request lee!Dark Cacao and a ler of your chosing? Sorry, this is my first time sending anyone an ask in a hot minute.

Oof… This request was quite a while ago. Ouch. Sorry! I didn’t really have an idea of what to do until now. Hope you enjoy this super belated fic! (Kink/NSFW accounts DNI!)

Dark Cacao Cookie stood on the balcony, overlooking the kingdom and endless fields of snow. He breathed a sigh of relief, glad to see that his cookies and his kingdom safe and sound. A little smile crept onto his face, a smile that didn’t go unnoticed.

“You aren’t known for smiling, master!” The White Dragon purred, resting their head on his shoulder. Dark Cacao Cookie rolled his eyes, but didn’t say anything.

“Such is true.” The Black Dragon agreed, resting their head on his other shoulder, “It’s almost an adorable sight, is it not?” They cackled teasingly. The White Dragon nodded “Oh, I could certainly get used to it! One of life’s greatest pleasures is smiling.” They said, “I’d say it’s laughter, but I feel they go hand in hand.” The Black Dragon replied. Dark Cacao Cookie felt a little pang of worry as they spoke, automatically knowing they were plotting something. He was a father, for goodness sake! No one ever talks of such things without having an idea in mind. He was guilty of it a time or two.

“Hush, you two.” He shot them both glares “Whatever it is you’re planning, I want no part in it.” He scolded. Both dragons looked at each other, exchanging impish smiles of gleaming sharp teeth, “We aren’t planning anything, master! Can’t we simply chat?” Cooed the White Dragon as they nuzzled against his neck like an affectionate cat. The Black Dragon joined them, nuzzling and flicking their tail against their master’s side. “Y-You know that-! Kh!” Dark Cacao Cookie struggled to complete his sentence, feeling a flurry of giggles build up in his chest.

He was trying his hardest not to erupt into laughter, knowing that the dragons would happily take advantage of the fact that he’s ticklish, but it was a battle for sure.

The White Dragon was struck with an idea, one that would surely get their master to crack! They wrapped their long, snakelike body around his neck loosely- like a scarf- and gently rubbed their scales over every inch of exposed dough. To add insult to injury, they lifted their head and their forked tongue flicked around in his ear! Oh, the poor old man couldn’t handle it anymore! “Ah! Ahahahaha! Hahaha!” He broke out into laughter, his knees buckled and he had to lean on the railing of the balcony for support.

“Knew it!” The Black Dragon called, moving their head down to nip at his belly. “Oho! Ohahahaha! Haha! Enough!” Dark Cacao Cookie snorted, his laughter was a boisterous and loud sound- as if it had been waiting for years to properly come out. He slid down to the tiled floor, struggling to pry the dragons away. “Oh my, master! Just how ticklish can you be?” The White Dragon cooed, hissing into his ear once more and making him squee like a little girl. “Eeeh! Hehehehe! Hahaha! Hahahaha!” He couldn’t say anything or fight against it, all he could do was take the torment like a man.

Wasn’t that the same sentiment he used to echo to his son? Oh, this is almost like karma for all the times he tickled that poor boy to near-death!

The Black Dragon tugged at the fabric of Dark Cacao Cookie’s hanbok, creating an opening and slithering inside. His dough underneath his clothing was warm, and just ripe for the tickling! They blew on the exposed dough and flickered their tongue in all the little crevices they could reach- between each ab, in the bellybutton, and even between each rib. Dark Cacao Cookie started laughing even harder “HAHAHAHA! ENOUGH OF THAT! OHOHO! HAHAHAHA! AHAHAHA! GET OUT!” He begged, squirming and trying to curl into a ball. He could feel the dragon’s smile as they continued the torment.

The White Dragon slithered and coiled around, making sure not to coil too tightly, their smooth scales tickling worse than a feather boa! The king snorted again and again, beginning to run out of breath from laughing so much. He squeezed his eyes shut and his face grew flushed. Oh, he could barely handle this anymore!

“Do you think he’s had enough?” The Black Dragon asked, poking their head out from beneath his hanbok. The White Dragon hummed, then hissed into his ear once more, “Now he has! Who would have figured our master is this ticklish?” They both finally released the king. He took deep, hungry breaths.

“Stupid lizards.” He murmured, struggling to gain his footing once more. “‘Tickle me more’? Is that what I heard?” The Black Dragon asked. The king’s magenta eyes widened “No! Don’t you dare!”. All of the sudden, he had the strength to stand up and dart back inside. Both dragons laughed, knowing they’d have to utilize this more.

the end

Ughhh… I don’t have much notes or anything, honestly. I’m really sorry for all the requests that’re gathering dust, I wish I could just get it all done in a snap and not keep you all waiting for so long. Have a good one 🫶

I like to think we all agree that young Scott and Kamala's friendship is the coolest thing ever

Yeah it's pretty great, and Scott retaining those memories for the shift into an intergenerational friendship is just 👌. It is a little disappointing to let that connection fall by the wayside in From The Ashes - in fact Scott hasn't been around for most of Kamala's exploration of mutant culture and identity. Fair enough in Fall of X - dude was a POW of ORCHIS, and while they're doing different things right now - paramilitary shit for Scott and youth/community focus for Kamala, I do wish they kept in touch. A lot of mutants with close relationships aren't talking to each other, so it's not just them, but it is a shame.

@kalinara wrote some insightful analysis on Scott in the Champions enjoying the pressure of being allowed to relax which I definitely recommend reading. Some highlights below the cut.

This is a sweet moment that really highlights the messed up dynamic this young man has. It doesn't make Xavier look very good in retrospect. Scott was always the private angsty one - but it didn't have to define him. He opens up pretty quickly when he's around putative equals without being crushed by more pressure than any teen should have to deal with.

This was a surprising, but well earned payoff on that relationship. The Champions are on the run from a Roxxon plot masquerading as protecting teen heroes - the ironically named Kamala's Law. Viv Vision is snitching on their location and they're trapped in a treehouse so they go for a blaze of glory maneuver. Surprise! Their ~30 year old teammate arrives to bail them out with the diplomatic might of Krakoa and some fancy footwork.

The Quiet Council was not especially helpful with this situation. Not allowing humans on Krakoa (mostly) is the policy, and that goes double for minors as it opens a whole can of worms. Nevertheless, Cyke puts his weight behind it and threatens war, spooking the field agents. Him calling Kamala 'Double M' is both cute and dorky as hell and arriving with a complete extraction plan is so very Cyclops.

This bozo senator doesn't want to fold, but he doesn't really have a choice. Nobody wants to poke the sleeping dragon just yet, and they don't have the authority to. Good thing too, because this is a bluff. Scott knows what his public reputation is - it wasn't that long ago he was talking revolution and going to war with SHIELD. I don't think anyone believes it's a serious threat of war, but they don't want to find out or more importantly jeopardize their economic relationship.

So it's not really Krakoa that's bailing The Champions out - it's Scott and whoever he could convince to help him. They can't go to Krakoa so they take advantage of maritime law and offer refuge on The Marauder. Storm and Kate are Council members, but they're acting as individuals here and putting their clout behind it. This highlights a weakness of the Quiet Council - if people have the social capital or hard power to ignore their edicts, they can and will.

So cute that Scott digs up his old Champions uniform. For old times sake (that's probably less than a year for the kids, lol.) Riri Williams is squeeing over Storm while Scott and Kamals revisit their bond. It's wholesome shit and I love it.

[respectthepetty]

Oh, I am thrilled! Look at them! Color-coded boys about to fall in love! How could I not be thrilled?

It's queer. It's colors. It's chaos. It's everything I love.

As far as first impressions go Fight For You is exactly what I was expecting while still holding a few nice surprises.

Did not expected the Eternal Butler cameo, actually thought we were done with the droids and that this new series would be set in a different universe. Glad that I was wrong, it was another gay cyborg friday in this household!

This one pulls so much from Stay By My Side, it truly feels like a spiritual successor in many ways.

The color coding here is on another level, I just know @respectthepetty must be thrilled with this.

Two episodes in and the mains already obliterated the Exclusive Love CP in terms of chemistry, VBL making damn sure to keep Taiwan well represented.

It's another silly little show from Vidol, and honestly at this point I'd support anything they threw my way, because while they may lack production value, they more than make up for it with sheer charm.

Meet my sister P.14-Jude Bellingham

plot: Federico Valverde wants to introduce his younger sister to Jude, his teammate. He hoped that something romantic would be born between them seeing that their characters were perfect together but things take a different turn

Wearnings: +18, smut, english is not my first language

Jude accompanied you home, and the silence between you two was filled with unspoken emotions. The sky had turned dark, but the warmth of his embrace made everything feel brighter. When you arrived at the door, he stopped, looking into your eyes with that tenderness that made you feel like everything was in its place.

Without saying a word, he slowly moved closer and kissed you passionately. His lips met yours in a deep, warm kiss, as if he wanted to tell you everything that words couldn't express. The world around you disappeared. There was nothing left, only the sensation of him close to you, his presence making you feel like you belonged to each other.

When you finally pulled away, your breath was heavy, and your heart was racing. You smiled at him, still wrapped in the emotions of that kiss.

"Do you want to come in?" you asked, your voice slightly trembling but full of desire.

Jude smiled, his gaze sparkling with a light you had never seen before. "I’d love to," he immediately replied, and without thinking twice, he entered your home with you.

It was a night that felt endless, full of unspoken promises, but both of you clearly felt them.

Not even the time to close the door and you stuck your lips to those of Jude while he held you closer to him by placing your hands on your butt and squeeze it.

You groaned as you led him into your room and closed the door quickly while he looked at you with lust.

"you’re so beautiful" he mumbled and then kissed you again.

As you kissed passionately, your hands began to slide towards her hair. Fingers entangled between his soft curls, pulling him slightly to you. Jude sighed a faint sigh against your lips, his warm breath that made you tremble.

His hands surrounded your waist, bringing you even closer, as if he could not bear a millimeter of distance between you. Your back ended up against the closed door as he intensified his kiss, never losing that sweetness you now recognized as his distinguishing feature when he was with you.

"You drive me crazy," he whispered against your lips, his dark eyes shining with desire and sweetness at the same time. You could not do anything but smile and continue to kiss him, your fingers still playing in his hair, loving the feeling of its consistency under your fingertips.

Jude paused for a moment, looking into your eyes. " I don’t want this evening to end," he admitted quietly, his gaze fixed on yours as if waiting for confirmation from you.

Your gaze set in his deep and sincere eyes, and with a sweet smile you murmured: "I don’t want it to end either, Jude."

Those words seemed to spark something in him. Without hesitation, he kissed you again, this time with even more passion. His lips were warm, caring but at the same time determined, as if he wanted to imprint that moment in your memories forever.

His hands squeezed your life gently as the kiss became deeper, more sincere. Your heart was beating like a rock, your hands still in his hair, while you were completely lost in the feeling of being so close to him.

Jude only stepped away for a moment, just the time to look at you and smile with that special light in his eyes. " You’re incredible," she whispered, her voice low and charged with emotion. Then he kissed you again, as if time had stopped and the world around you had disappeared.

He started to strip you and you did the same thing and he laid you down gently on the bed, it was different than the other times. He was sweeter and looked at you with pure love that made your heart beat.

Jude gave you a sweet kiss on the lips and then gently and sensually kissed your neck to then descend to reach your breast: where he nibbled it and squeezed it making you moan under him.

Then he kissed your belly gently and then came to your pussy and lick it like a hungry man making you moan and whimper. He had not left your gaze on you all this time and this thing made you tighten his thighs more on your head and he groaned making you groan and then come on his face.

Jude smiles and kisses you gently on the lips "you always taste so good" he whispered on your lips and made you whine.

Then he slowly shoved his cock into your pussy making you whine. "Jude please" you murmured wanting more but he shook his head.

"no baby, let’s take our time" he said moaning softly as he felt your pussy walls clenching his cock.

Jude began to move slowly and with love which made you whine as you looked into each other’s eyes.

You realized that you weren’t just having sex with him, but you were making love and this thing made your heart beat faster.

"you’re so beautiful," she said softly as you groaned and felt her cock clatter inside your pussy.

"Jude" you whimpered as he lowered his head to kiss you and continue his rhythm gently.

You both came at the same time while still kissing in pure love.

Jude helped to clean you up and your heart will accelerate again as you smiled softly at him. He lay down in your bed next to you, making you rest your head on his chest while gently stroking your hair and making you sighs blissfully as you held closer to him.

It was a perfect night.

---

The morning light softly filtered through the window, filling the room with a warm golden glow. You woke up slowly, realizing your head was still resting on Jude's chest. His breathing was slow and steady, and his arm held you close, as if he didn’t want to let you go even in his sleep.

A sweet smile spread across your face as you watched him sleeping, his features relaxed and a slight pout on his lips that made him look almost childlike. You couldn’t help but reflect on how drastically your relationship had changed. It had never really been hate, not truly. It had always been pride, perhaps a kind of mutual defense against what you both had always known existed between you: an undeniable attraction, a feeling you could no longer ignore.

Without thinking too much, you lifted your hand to gently run your fingers through his hair, threading them through his dark strands. Your smile widened when you noticed his pout deepen, as if he could feel your touch even in his sleep.

Unable to resist, you leaned in slightly and brushed your lips against his in a delicate, almost shy kiss. It was enough to wake him. Jude slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw you, a sleepy smile appeared on his face.

"Good morning," he murmured, his voice deep and husky from sleep, pulling you even closer. Before you could respond, his lips met yours again, this time with more intensity but no rush, as if he wanted to savor every moment.

When you finally pulled away, Jude nestled closer to you, resting his head against yours as his hand softly stroked your back in slow, affectionate movements. "You know," he said with a smile you could feel even without looking at him, "I wouldn’t mind waking up like this every morning."

His words made you blush, but you didn’t reply. You simply held him tighter, feeling like everything was finally in its right place, as though the world had aligned perfectly around you.

Wrapped in the warmth of the blankets, you stayed in each other’s arms, with no rush to get up. Jude held you close, his hands gently caressing your back while his gaze remained fixed on you, filled with a sweetness that made you melt.

Every now and then, the silence was broken by small kisses. They were light, delicate, almost shy, but filled with the new feeling blossoming between you. Both of you were smiling like two teenagers who had just discovered their first love, unable to pull away from each other.

"I can’t stop looking at you," Jude whispered, his tone a mix of wonder and admiration. "I don’t know how I managed to stay away from you until now."

A soft laugh escaped you, your fingers playing with his curls. "You weren’t this sweet a few weeks ago," you teased, though your smile betrayed that you weren’t really upset.

"Well, maybe you’ve softened me up," he replied with a mischievous grin before leaning down to steal another kiss. It was slow, intense, and made you forget everything else around you.

When you pulled apart, your foreheads remained pressed together, your breaths mingling. "You know," you began, your voice light, "I never thought we’d ever have a moment like this. Not after everything we’ve said to each other."

Jude smiled, holding you even tighter. "Maybe we were just putting on a show. Deep down, we’ve always known, haven’t we?"

You didn’t answer, but your smile and the way you looked at him said it all. Time seemed to stand still, as if the world outside your room no longer existed. It was just the two of you, entwined in an embrace that spoke of a new promise, of something precious neither of you wanted to let slip away.

---

Laughing, you took Jude’s hand and pulled him with you toward the kitchen. He, however, wasn’t thrilled about your decision.

“Come on, I don’t want to get up,” he grumbled, sounding like a whining child as he tried to pull his hand back to convince you to return to bed. “I was so comfortable there, cuddled up with you…”

You turned toward him with a sweet but determined smile. “Jude, we need to eat. We can’t live on kisses… even if I wouldn’t mind,” you said with a little laugh, still trying to pull him along.

“Speak for yourself,” he replied, pouting like a sulking child. “I could live off your kisses for the rest of my life.” His words made you blush, but you didn’t relent, continuing to drag him as he pretended to resist.

Finally, you reached the kitchen, and the scene waiting for you was unexpected. Federico was already there, sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in hand. When he looked up and saw the two of you enter hand in hand, he smiled warmly.

“So,” Federico said, setting his cup on the table with a knowing grin, “has this ridiculous war between you two finally come to an end?”

You and Jude exchanged a glance, both of you laughing, a little embarrassed but also genuinely happy. “Yes, it seems there’s been a truce,” you replied playfully, though deep down, you knew it was much more than a truce.

Jude, putting on a mock-serious expression, added, “Let’s just say she won me over with her irresistible charm. I didn’t stand a chance.”

Federico shook his head, laughing, as he stood up to leave the kitchen. “It’s about time,” he said simply before walking out, leaving the two of you alone.

Jude turned toward you, holding your hands again. “So, what are we cooking? Or can I convince you to go back to bed?” he asked with a mischievous grin, stepping closer.

You shook your head, laughing, as you tried to free yourself from his grip. “Don’t even think about it, Bellingham! We’re cooking something serious, or I’ll never let you win at anything ever again!”

But even as you tried to sound stern, the smile on your face and the way you looked at him betrayed just how happy you were—and how that “war” had only been the prelude to something wonderful.

Apothecary Diaries: Shisui really feels like she's flirting with Maomao now. Very handsy with hair brushing and stuff. Tying all the plots together with the color blindness and the westerners makes sense I guess, although I think the green fox masks were too heavy a touch. Maomao getting a chance to squee over the resurrection potion and Suirei realizing that that was her mistake was great. (Just like Jinshi finally handing over the ox bezoar)

Arcane S2 Thoughts

I've had a week to digest this season and well, I guess I have the unpopular opinion of being very disappointed. After the initial flash of gorgeous animation and some ooo's and awe's.... I was left with a bitter aftertaste. I can rewatch S1 loads of time. I don't think I can watch S2 again.

I'm happy for the fans that loved it and got what they wanted or the shippers that got what they wanted. I'm happy for you. Do your thing.

Me? Not so much. Even as a Silco fan (and I admit to squeeing for any footage of him at first), I'm not pleased. Yeah, my young Silco is a nerd, man-bun hottie, but that's where it ended for me. His entire characterization was nothing like the character I fell head over heels for in S1.

Vander's Flashback: I honestly don't find Felicia's inclusion necessary at all. In fact, I think it waters down everything between Silco and Vander. Their knowing her and the kids creates more questions, plotholes, and problems than it supposedly solves.

Why is Vander only in those memories with the kids? It's before the fallout with Silco. Why don't the kids know or remember nice Silco? Why do they only fear him (obv that's from Vander and Benzo, yes?)?

Why doesn't Silco seem to know Powder at Vander's dead body? Why would he kill Felicia's kids? None of it makes any fucking sense if he cared about Felicia. He hates Vander so much, he hates the kids too because he adopted them?

How the hell does S2 Young Silco turn into S1 Silco? Riot really messed this one up. Vander's attempted murder didn't change his entire personality.

It was a rebellion battle. People were going to get hurt and killed. They had to know this. So, whether Silco accidentally killed Felicia (as some fans are debating) or she died, is so damn dumb for Vander to solely blame Silco. Takes the kids, becomes a pacifist FIRST and then decides to (shave and grow younger) kill his brother for the greater good. Doesn't make one lick of sense narratively.

The narrative, characterization and animation inconsistencies don't help from S1 either. The drowning scene doesn't fit the S2 explanation. They're too young. Vander had a beard and appears much older on the bridge. Hell, S2 Young!Silco looks older than S1 Young!Silco. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. If people want to kiss Riot's ass, fine, but there was too much that was straight up lazy writing.

Silco's death is just glossed over considering how important he is. Silco did what Vander couldn't. Even without Shimmer, the Underground was thriving. Cait's mother's death/burial/statue gets more screen time and Silco gets dumped in the river. No one seems to question his death or what happened? Yeah, ok.

I'll use this moment to complain about the excessive music video montages this season too. I watched S1 again and the writing and use of music worked in unison and enhanced scenes. S2 felt like scenes in between music videos and it was irritating.

There was so much screentime wasted that could have been good dialogue heavy scenes that S1 was great at. Instead, time wasted on poorly executed plotlines that needed way more time to flesh out (Mel, Ekko and Viktor) and we have slowmo music videos and MCU fight scenes. Hermie's guitar song and Mission Impossible jokster crap was laughable and not in a good way.

Riot tried to pack too much into one season, and it was a mess. This season felt like watching a Marvel movie. Cool action sequences with little to no substance. All the nuance and grit from last season were gone in favor of the 'good vs. bad' trope. All the political-societal issues in S1 were abandoned that were far more fascinating to explore.

Mel has superpowers now? It feels all out of place. Her, Ambessa, and the Black Rose plot have zero time to make it interesting and plausible. She was introduced as this master manipulator/politician and her sage persona feels so forced.

Jesus Demigod Viktor was too much. I was excited for the Machine Herald and the psychedelic Arcane magical multiverse took me out. Making him to be the big baddie and timeloop it around to Jayce felt like a big cop out. Viktor deserved better. Hell, Jayce deserved better.

So much was sacrificed to make the whole Arcane magic THE point of the series when it was one of the least interesting aspects of the show. Hextech for weapons and the continuing problems between Piltover and Zaun was RIPE for storytelling. It seems each act needed several episodes to cover.

Ekko sure as fuck deserved better than that half assed time warp with Hermie. The AU really bothered me. Everything felt wrong. EVERYTHING. Nothing was explained well at all. It felt like complete fan service at the expense of the characters. Before people rip me saying "well duh! It was an AU!". You don't assassinate characters and plot to have a happy ending that insults your viewers.

They turned Zaun (its own cool character) into the bargain basement of Piltover. How is it sunny and pretty? Really? Mirror tricks? Everyone just forgave Piltover after years of oppression?

You're telling me Vi's death saved humanity? Fuck that shit right now. Piltover just stopped because a kid died? Suddenly everything became better? What happened to Jayce? Viktor? Hell, Hermie after decades didn't give two shits about Zaun, so what changed with the Council? Where's Singed? I don't buy it.

I don't buy Jinx/Powder being super normal smart girl. I LOVE JInx, but I believe she had mental issues prior breaking into Jayce's apartment. I don't think Vi's death made that go away (as I don't believe Silco's death did either). As someone who battles with mental health, this is insulting to me as a viewer.

I hated AU Silco. There. I said it. He just forgave Vander? Really? Bullshit. The reason Vander tried to kill him is stupid. A simple letter changed Silco? That fluffy-haired softy is not Silco. I can't imagine that Silco being the one who fought a rebellion. He probably would not have become a mob boss peddling drugs but this AU softboi dad feels so wrong. I never would have stanned AU Silco. Not in a million years.

S1 Silco's traits didn't magically appear because Vander betrayed him. The young S1 Silco had to be similar in many ways to older S1 Silco. Drive, ambition, ruthlessness, willing to die for a cause. I don't see Felicia's death changing that. I certainly don't see Vi's death changing that.

If Vander needed to kill Silco to stop the violence, etc, it's because he saw Silco as a threat to him or society as a whole. S1 Vander is known as The Hound. So, he seems to be violent as well. He takes credit for building the Underground when Felicia credits both 'bozos' for it. So Vander being upset she died and blaming Silco to the point of murder is a slap in the face to fans' intelligence.

I do hate that by Vi's death, everything is magically better. I can't express how much I hate that. AU Powder was irritating and was nothing like my Jinx that I love. Again so much wasted time that could have been better spent on good character driven scenes that actually advance the plot.

Pointless characters. Introduce Isha (who I adored). Make her seem important to Jinx. Kill her and never mention her again. So what was the point of her inclusion this season? Just to make Jinx suicidal? I hated that also. Again WASTED SCREENTIME.

Oh, and Caitvi was a disgrace. I think shippers deserved better here, too. Caitlyn goes crazy dictator because of guilt over her mom. Granted, Caitvi only knew each other for a week-ish? Not a lot of time to make their relationship serious past an infatuation. Cait turns from all her good points last season to Ambessa's padawan.

Don't get me started on that side piece Maddie. Really? Cait you were that hard up? And that long awaited sex scene was a big eye roll. Vi goes to her sister, and shit goes to hell, and a few minutes later, she's fucking Cait in the same cell. Vi was reduced to shit this season.

I mean, these characters just got shafted in every way for a high speed train wreck ending that we've seen a million times in Disneyfied stories. Action sequences were more important than actual character development and plot.

You can't make me believe that one speech from Jayce 'seeing a possible future' suddenly got Zaun to work with and dress up as Piltover soldiers? Really?

I had high hopes for Sevika, and the girl got shit nothing to do except in two episodes. Her seat on the Council feels like a last-minute decision and not worthy enough to expand on.

What made S1 so great was the class divide between Zaun and Piltover and how it affected the characters. S2 decided to scrap that and go with the easy good vs evil trope instead. Even the parallels didn't have the same hit as last season.

I did like Jinx talking to her 'ghost' Silco in the jail cell. He was calming to her in contrast to Milo/Claggor except the implication that she should die (that's what I got out of that).

We didn't even get much from Singed. Yeah, he got his daughter back (in some form) but his story was so blah. We didn't get nearly enough of him and Warwick and what made Warwick.

I guessed a few years ago it was going to be Vander but I didn't like how it was handled.

Too many plotlines all rushed together without getting any decent screentime and explanations that don't confuse or insult viewers intelligence. OR you have to be a LOL fan/player to understand. I never played LOL before S1 and wasn't confused as to the main plot.

I loved all the characters in S1 and felt they were pretty much watered down or assassinated in S2 for an apocalyptical Demigod villain vs humanity battle done to death finale.

The Zaun/Piltover political-societal problems, parallels, corruption, science going wrong, pathway to hell paved with good intentions themes from S1 was so much better in every single aspect.

I'm still a fan of S1 and the characters and frankly, I'm going to ignore 95% of S2.

Top 10 Best BLs on Gagaoolala

My Beautiful Man AKA Utsukushii Kare

Japan 2021

One of the most Japanese BLs to release in the last decade, as weird and as messed up as any 2000s yaoi: emo af and hella warped, entirely true to itself with no attempt made to modify its POV for modern sensibilities or current BL fandom. It used seriously old school problematic and kinky tropes, like whipping boy, for a truly uncompromising piece that also manages to hit up themes of communication, consent, and self acceptance. It’s a wonderful BL but uniquely dirty and harsh, in the best possible way - Japanese cinema, uncompromising.

I lost my ever loving mind over the ending. This show won the Grand Prix “My Best TV Award��� at the 16th Galaxy Awards.

Minato's Laundromat AKA Minato Shouji Coin Laundry

Japan 2022

A classic age gap romance where a high school student pursues the man of his dreams (who runs a laundromat). This BL is so steeped in yaoi nostalgia, not to mention a classic romance arc, that it will overload some, but those of us who love this genre for its DNA will adore it. It made me very happy because it did everything I want a BL to do - there’s not much more I could ask of a show than this. It’s the closest Japan has come to perfect live action yaoi since Seven Days (and I never make that comparison lightly).

Squee watch-along here.

My Ride

Thai 2022

Thai BL grew up with this pulp (the first ever to make my end of year top 10). It’s a truly lovely and special little show featuring the extremely rare pairing of sunshine/sunshine (AKA a cinnamon roll couple) plus mature explorations of relationships using one of the softest, sweetest, and most innocent friends to lovers vehicles. Kindly, overworked doctor meets broken-hearted motorcycle taxi driver in an “other side of the tracks” slow burn romance. The support cast is excellent, making for great friendship groups and family dynamics. With honest queer rep that adds to, but doesn’t impede, the story, and genuine conversation about the nature of class, wealth, and classism, not to mention communication, honesty, and respect for boundaries, you can’t go wrong with this show. In other news, I am a sucker for a single dimple.

Takara & Amagi AKA Takara-kun to Amagi-kun

Japan 2022 I gnawed on my knuckles and squealed a lot with this BL. Reserved cool kid who must learn to communicate to keep the tiny disaster nugget he’s madly in love with. It is beyond charming: soft and gentle, packed with cuteness and high school angst, thirst, & yearning. Was there plot? Not really. Was it emotionally tense and paced well enough for me not to notice? Absolutely. Did I enjoy the hell out of it? Oh yes.

Kiseki: Dear to Me

Taiwan 2023

The plot is totally ridiculous and slightly unhinged, but that’s normal for Taiwan. It involves all the tropes under a very casual framework of gay mafia gangs + food = love. Absolutely every character is queer. There’s a gum-ball machine of cameos, elder gay rep, great chemistry from all pairs, and a KILLER side couple. As a result Kiseki is a poster child for Taiwanese BL, and I happen to love Taiwanese BL. Bonus? They also managed to END IT WELL, which we cannot expect from Taiwan.

My Personal Weatherman AKA Taikan Yoho

Japan 2023

This style of live action yaoi really only works from Japan. Basically: boys who fell in love in college end up living together but both are so repressed they actually don't realize they're in love. It's higher heat than we usually get from Japan's HEA stuff, and that part is also very well done, but it leaned into the "why don't they just talk for fuck's sake?" trope which is only exacerbated into undiluted frustration by the fact that they're already fucking. It's great, but watching requires more patience than usual, even for Japan.

Our Dining Table AKA Bokura no Shokutaku

Japan 2023

A lonely salaryman and talented cook gets accidentally adopted by a college kid and his little brother. I was always gonna love this show if they stuck to the manga (which is very dear to my heart). And they did, paralleling it almost exactly. It’s a quiet & cozy little parable of found family alleviating loneliness. Possibly too slow for some but definitely high up there for me as the best of what Japan can do with softness (like Restart After Come Back Home). It’s only flaw (if I dare say such a thing) is that it is not really “romantic.” Lovely & sweet but the romance beats are being used to build a family relationship, not just couple intimacy, but that's OK with me. This is a very safe show for anyone to watch.

Step By Step

Thai 2023

This was Thailand’s answer to The New Employee, and everything I loved about that show I loved about this one. This office romance between a stern boss and sweet subordinate felt more authentic to cubical work than previous Thai BLs of this ilk. That authenticity added tension to the narrative and its characters development (how novel). I also really enjoyed the charming side characters and the brothers' relationship to each other (although I could have done without that brother's side BL).

Long Time No See

Korea (Strongberry) 2017

Catfishing assassins on either side of a turf war who fall in love not knowing they are on opposite sides. Or do they? Suspenseful plot, good fight sequences, mature characters, hot sexitimes and even hotter beating the shit out of each other and kissing while covered in blog (this came from KOREA?), plus an HEA. One of the hidden gems of the BL genre.

About Youth

Taiwan 2022

A truly lovely little coming of age high school BL with a classic YA low drama but high angst and an earnest depth. I didn’t even mind the singing, and that’s saying a lot. A weak seme/uke dynamic but tons of BL tropes (both rare in a high school setting but common for Taiwan) makes this one feel both sweet and colored by real world authenticity and grit.

Some of these shows ALSO appeared on Viki or iQIYI, but these BLs will appear only once on these round up posts (here for Gaga), not on the other platforms top 10.

This list updated Spring 2024, not responsible for cool stuff that aired on Gaga (or was taken off the platform) after that date.

[diavolo-is-babygirl]

Things I Think Of:

Me thinking of MC plotting a surprise Disneyland trip with Barbatos for Diavolo. Dia's been having a very hard month and deserves to have some fun

So they go. Via flight because MC wants Dia to experience the joys of an airport in the human world. MC and Barbatos keep Disneyland a surprise so Diavolo's incessantly asking 'where are we going' the entire trip

They arrive at Disney. Diavolo bursts into tears and tells MC and Barbatos about how beautiful everything is. Barbatos is like: "Young Master, we're still at the check-in gate." MC's dying the entire time

So they check-in. Diavolo's insanely energetic the moment they set foot into the park. He says hi to every Cast Member and character. He has a dance off with Goofy and MC takes pictures of it

A little girl runs up to him and says 'look Mommy, a prince'. MC takes Dia's arm and proudly says 'yeah, he's my prince, from a faraway kingdom'. Other kids hear and see and soon there's a crowd around them. Barbatos too because he's the cool butler. Disney staff apologizes to them

Diavolo wants to buy all of the food. Like, all of it. He wants to take a bunch of it back to Beel but MC tells him it won't last that long

Their rest periods are only 5 minutes long because Diavolo wants to see everything

So they stand in line at Radiator Springs, where there's a two hour wait. Despite having bounced off the walls the ENTIRE MORNING and flight, Diavolo's talking ten miles a minute. And it's hot. Barbatos is re-evaluating his life choices

Diavolo squees the entire ride and immediately wants to ride it again. There's still a two hour wait. Barbatos threatens to end their friendship but MC promises to buy him a big lemonade

Dia's favorite ride turns out to be Haunted Mansion

They actually make it back to the hotel MC booked to rest. Diavolo excitedly talks about what he wants to do next and is gently snoring within minutes. MC admits to Barbatos that they're sad because Diavolo's acting as though he'll never have fun again, and maybe Disneyland was a bad idea

Barbatos tells MC that giving the Young Master precious memories is never a bad idea. He'll remember the happy trip forever and that's a wonderful thing

Barbatos then says 'just don't make me visit Radiator Springs again. I'd rather deal with a rat'. He and MC laugh
