Hi love your works! Was wondering since it’s that time of year would you consider doing a Bitterly Beautiful Halloween Special or One Shot?

I already had something planned!

Bitterly Beautiful: Hallows Bearing

“Absolutely not..”

“Aww Cmon..”

The Spookiest Time has come to Nevermore and the the decrepit school has been given a thin white blanket of frost to freshen it up. (Y/n) sat on Wednesdays bed, tilting his head to her direction. It’s been a few months since the duo defeated Crackstone, Tyler and Thornhill. After his near death, well technically his death experience, (Y/n) and Wednesday have a newfound love for each other, even if Wednesday barely shows it.

“You seriously don’t want to go to the Hallows Eve celebration?” He said, Wednesday keeps her head forward into her novel, typing so calculating on the Typewriter.

“And bore myself to death outside? I’d rather watch the others freeze in the discomfort of my own room.” She said, (Y/n) chuckled and stood up to approach her, he gets behind her and peers over her shoulder. Wednesday doesn’t stop him, him being blind severely limits his ability to peer into her work.

“You really don’t want to spend time with me? Your favorite Blind helpless boyfriend? I know you have a hero complex.” He says smugly, Wedensday stops typing and tilts her head to him, “I couldn’t predict how annoying you’d be, if I knew I would have preferred you stay dead.” She say with her mundane flat tone, but he knows she didn’t mean it. He, with all the brazen pride, gives her the softest peck on the cheek. Wednesday, still not fully understanding of her emotions, slowly began to burn a shade of rose red. Wednesday scowled and he laughed.

“I can hear your brow furrowing. You’re not mad at me, are you?” He backs up and Wedensday approached, she doesn’t say a word, her death stare was more than enough to say that he’s made a crucial mistake. (Y/n), taking the biggest risk, gently pokes her cheekbones.

“Aww, don’t pout, you know I love you.”

“And you know I hate human contact.”

“Even If it’s my contact?~” (Y/n) utters with slower tone, letting his words dance in the ears of Wednesday. He felt the sudden force of being pushed down on her bed, before he can sit up, Wednesday gripped his wrists, and fully mounted him pinning his wrists to the bed, they were face to face. The sudden shift in the power dynamic was always something that occurred in their relationship, (Y/n) would tease and prod Wednesday, only in good loving spirit, and when she finally cracked and gave in, he got what he wanted.

“Even your contact… your Tried and tiresome acts of physical contact are overused and are fit to stay in the 30’s.” She said, she slowly leans into his ear and spoke sternly into it.

“Luckily for you, I consider myself.. Old Fashioned.” She replies, before their lips could get to know each other more intimately, they hear the doorknob shake, as if someone is trying to enter. Ajax opens the door to (Y/n) and Wednesday, who hurried got off of each other, Wednesday on her Typewriter while (Y/n) playing sorrowfully on the Violin.

“(Y/n).” He said, the inconspicuous boy stops his playing.

“Ajax, is there something you need? I was in the middle of something very important.” (Y/n) says, and Ajax nods and leans in the doorframe.

“Me and Enid are gonna go for the Permafrost Ball. You two wanna double date?”

“That sounds—“ (Y/n) began.

“Positively Suicidal.” Wedensday replies, cutting him off. Ajax shrugs and walks back. (Y/n) tilts his head to her direction.

“Is being liked that hard for you?” He asks, but he doesn’t wait for a response. “I’ll leave you to your book.” He said, and left the room, Wednesday sighed with relief, and felt the pain in her back swell. She could only come up with one solution, ask the one person who seemingly knew everything but absolutely nothing at the same time, Enid.

The two stood in their dorm as Wednesday reluctantly asks.

“Enid, I… require your assistance.”

“Of course! Anything for my best friend and roomie.”

“Riveting… anyway, it seems I have come down with.. something… and I cannot conclude what Illness befalls me, so I’m asking the girl who knows everything.. but absolutely nothing.”

“What was that last part?”

“nothing, can you help?” She asks and Enid casually flips out her phone.

“Obviously! Now what’s hurting you?”

Wednesday walks around, pacing as Enid types.

“I awoke feeling dreadful during the mornings, even nearly vomiting… I, frequent the woman’s restroom more often, my taste buds have soured… my, my breasts have been feeling, tender… I don’t understand what this is.”

“Okay all done!” Enid searches and gets the result, “Drum roll please!” She Said, Wedensday just stares at her.

“Fine, and the winner is.. Pregn—“ Enid stares at the message for what seems to be forever, until she slowly looks up at Wednesday.

(Y/n) wasn’t in his form, he was assisting Eugene with his Bees, as Winter was coming and the lack of pollen will severely affect them. He exits the Bee house, as he does he senses that something is terribly wrong, little does he know, Wednesday Is storming over to him with Enid trying to defuse the death bomb heading straight towards (Y/n). He heard the footsteps approach and could tell by the shoe size and pace it was his girlfriend, and a less than enthusiastic pair following. He smiles as he senses his girlfriend.

“Wednesday my Love, you reconsidered?” He asks, her silence was usual but something was very off.

“I am going to castrate you...” she said with the scariest huff. (Y/n) was backed into a wall of the bee hive, completely confused by what’s going on.

“What? Why? What did I do?” He asks.

“You, put This parasite in me!” She scowls, Enid finally catches up, tired.

“Wednesday… don’t be so angry I hear it’s bad for the baby.” She said, basically spilling the beans, Wedensday turns around to say something but (Y/n) already picked up on it. His hand softly gripped hers and she turned back to face him.

“Wednesday?…” he asks, tilting his head down to her abdomen and Wednesdays cold and callous anger slowly subsided. She kept her eyes locked on his face, scanning it for any mood. But he suddenly but lovingly hugged her, feeling her icy but still body suddenly pressed up against him.

“I, didn’t know you were—“

“I was, afraid to tell you.” She mutters in his ear. “Wednesday Addams, afraid? Color me surprised.” He says, and she squints, not finding his little jabs amusing.

“I’m still considering the castration.” She hisses. (Y/n) relents with an awkward laugh.

“Okay, sorry… uh, who else knows?” He said, “You and I and unfortunately, Enid.” Wednesday said, and Enid waves from the back.

“Isn’t it great? I’m gonna be an aunt!” She says with auch giddy joy, Wednesday didn’t want to show it, but the tiniest smile was on her face. (Y/n) and Wednesday decide it’s best to spend time together, for them to discuss the next steps. But it was mostly (Y/n) kneeling at Wednesday, rubbing her belly so lovingly.

“Hey there little one, I can’t wait to hold you one day.”

“Why are you talking to the parasite.”

“Wednesday, Baby, please don’t call them a parasite…” He says, and gently nuzzles her abdomen.

“Have you told your parents?” (Y/n) asks, and Wednesday was silent for a moment. “No, I had not informed them of my current situation, I suppose we must eventually and I will tell them… I suppose telling yours will bear no fruit.” She says.

“I could care less about what they think, my Uncle will be overjoyed. But now that I think about it..” he begins, “If Enid knows… and being the social butterfly she is… she’s most likely told everyone already.” He says, (Y/n) gently took her hands once more.

“I understand if things will be, different, people tend to talk a lot and, I hope you won’t let what they say waver you. It, scares me… what if our child opens their eyes for the first time and vaporizes everyone? They hurt you or me or… be drones on, afraid of what this means. He said, Wednesday looked at his face, she calmly removed his deep black glasses, seeing his closed eyes, tears slightly welling up, Wednesday’s palms gently gripped his face and spoke as lovingly as she could.

“You are not your father, you will be a loving and fantastic father, regardless of what transpires with our.. Child.” She spoke so, reassuringly, this wasn’t some facade she was putting up, it was honest, genuine and loving. His lip quivers, but he shook down his fear and smiles.

“Now.. open your eyes.” She says, (Y/n) took a few deep breaths and nodded. He slowly began to open them, worried about what will happen, but then he finally gets to look Wednesday in her perfect deep auburn brown eyes. It was all still somewhat of a Blur, but he could make out her face. Wednesday could finally see his, the magic in his eyes faded. And his eyes were tinge of yellow, deep rooted gold. His head leans in and embraced her with a kiss. Their lips depart and there was only one question he had left to ask.

“Wednesday Friday Addams… will you marry me?”

“Yes (Y/n)… a thousand times over… yes.”

15 years of Quogan 🥂

I think for now I’m more “Pre-Quogan Zoey 102” content on here! I absolutely LOVED the movie and heck even enjoyed watching Chase and Zo reconnect! But I can’t help but predict and wonder all of the incredible things Quinn and Logan have endured leading up to their big day as husband and wife.

15 years of life in a long term relationship. The possibilities are endless. ❤️

Here are some of my top thoughts:

• Logan and Quinn definitely swiped their senior year. There’s been a lot of debate on here regarding that but I mean cmon! They’re 17, they’re in love, my guess is between 6 months and a year of being together (including secretly). They definitely talked about. It happened semi planned but not over the top (as much as Logan probably wanted it to, he was still in a more meaningful phase).

• Lola despite being the most annoyed with her best friend dating her worst friend was the most supportive and protective! I guarantee Lola had a sit down with Logan and gave her every expectation of treating Quinn with respect and dignity…or else bad things will happen 🤨 Lola also was Quinn’s go-to post dates, post swipe and just about everything else.

• Let’s just face it! Quinn and Logan were prom queen and king. Quinn rocked her senior year not just academically but socially! I mean the girl was great at sand volleyball! She probably kept that going! Logan, well he was a very changed man since dating Quinn. He brought up his grades, took academics more seriously and each time he succeeded his gf had rewards he couldn’t resist. Logan continued to kill it in basketball, and having his worst friend (lol) and girlfriend there to cheer him on was all he needed! (Maybe not so much Lola, but remember; she has Quinn’s back no matter what!)

• Every month anniversary was spent at Vaccaros. Reservation for 2 ONLY!

• CoCo always cried and wined about Carl while Quinn and Logan would just make out and forget she’s there. Dean Rivers probably walked in and slammed a book behind them! Following CoCo getting a write up for violating code of conduct/unprofessional work behavior. After she walks away sobbing like a whale, Quinn and Logan look at each other and laugh and are all: “so…where were we?” 😙😙

• Logan supported Quinn through just about everything. Quinn did the same for Logan. And they called eachother “babe” or “baby” a good hundred times a day.

What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments section or like if you maybe agree! Until then, 😘

Shishio Tsukasa is such an amazing character.

He's really three dimensional.

First, let's talk about him in the first arc of the story (when he was a villan).

This guy is extremely strong, we all know this, he's literally referred to as the strongest primate high-schooler (if my memory is correct which it usually is). He beat a fucking lion for God's sake. But he's not just strong, he's really, really smart.

Not just street smart, but also book smart.

Let's start with his street smarts- he immediately knows how to get the formula for the miracle fluid from Senku, can predict how Senku'll behave (in that same scene he is seen stating how he knows Senku will never lie about science), which means he knows how people in general can and will behave, he knows who's good for what job (see Gen and how he definetly found Senku in two days); and this is just his street smarts.

There aren't many depictions about his book smarts but cmon. This guy goes for MMA fights to get money for his sister's treatment, for that he obviously needs to train a lot but he was still a student and atleast passing his classes (considering he'scalled the strongest highschooler), plus there's the fact that he took one look and one sniff of the 'miracle fluid' and immediately knew what it was, plus when Senku and Co left in 'a hurry' he obviously didn't believe it, he knows these people. He's so smart.

We also know that he's incredibly charismatic, I mean, how did he get all those people, with conflicting world views to rally behind him? I'm surprised my boy wasn't a politician. He'd be too good at it.

Now let's take a deeper look at him.

We know he's 18 years old.

Technically an adult.

But he's never had the chance to be a boy and it shows. He sees everything in black and white.

Old people bad, young people good.

It also shows in how quickly he forgives Senku when it comes to reviving his sister. This man- no, boy (because he is a boy) does not have a lot to himself. I mean we knew he was poor in the old world, but it really shows in how he clings to the people around him [instantly forgives Senku, starts getting along with Gen even after he betrayed him, etc (trauma about losing his sister maybe?)].

He's a boy, a child and he's done bad things, like all children do.

I'm not trying to excuse his actions.

He was horrible and a murderer.

But look at him, he's so complex, so wonderfully three dimensional. I'm so completely and utterly in love. Not with him, but his qualities, how he was made.

Boichi-sama and Inagi-sama did a lot of work on Shishio Tsukasa and it shows.

Ok yay another round of first impressions!!! Again, spoilers for Fionna and cake below the cut! (Episodes 5 and 6)

Episode one:

- I became more invested in this episode the further it went, I ended up liking it a lot!

- farmworld society is real neat. I like how ice Finn became some demonic figure to everyone

- FINN GKT KIDS

- I liked the character if the main Finn kid (forget his name already damnnn)

- the forbidden romance was funny, but they left that universe so quickly, I want to know what happens!!

- Simon curses

- what thr hell is up with the pink goop

- Farm Finn mentions his wife is dead (CMONNN). Not sure exactly who she could be, but I’m guessing farm huntress wizard, based off of a few of the kids designs. Specifically the one with ginger hair and green eyes. The soup thing is interesting too

- OH MY GOD THE OLD JAKE IS SO ADORABLE GRAHHHHHH

- and I love that Cake actually likes him like aughhhhh

- (this is hurting my soul)

- most important note: THERE WAS A CHICKEN FOR A SPLIT SECOND I WIN AUTOMATICALLY

Overall solid episode!

Episode two:

- yeah I know what’s gonna happen. Tumblr prepare yourself

- wait I forgot about the yaoi subplot haha

- anyways time to see photos of half naked Marshall everywhere for a week now too

- ok real meat: winter king. He’s a lot more cunty than I thought. The song and animation was gorgeous!!

- why did they draw his crotch like that. WHAT cmon I can’t be the only one. It’s so… well defined. Anyways

- the whimsical gunters were perfect. Especially the fairy

- the ice Marcy??? What??

- FUCKING. CAKE. SAYING WINTER KING AND SIMON SHOULD MAKE OUT AT THR END KF THE SONG. like damnnnn she is freaky. That would have been quite something though

- oh god. Wait, is this gonna be the oncest thingy now..? Fandom wise… cake you’ve doomed us all!!

- ahem

- oh yeah bubbaline! (Garylee..?) it was a very cute montage!! And I like Gary’s candy kingdom esque idea for his bakery.

- MORE LEMONFEMS (Lemoncarb?? I don’t know how to spell it)

- idk about you guys but I like them. Well, I don’t like how they did Gary. But still. Very good

- ok back to fionna

- yes!! Candy… queen! (The name to no one’s surprise haha) she pretty much was exactly what I expected. I love her

- her song was also great!!

- unfortunately I guess her existence is short lived lol

- won’t stop me… with the power of fanart!

- I like the scene where she rolls off the bed

- yeah at this point I was sort of suspicious of winter guy

- lobotomy… thr best remedy…

- the way winter king just lets Fionna embrace him right in front of actual Simon is fucking crazy haha. I’m sure cake was loving it

- THE HE

- WHAT THR HELL

- well, the team handles trauma together….

- interesting, this universes pb is like, exactly the same haha.

- oh yeah, Fionna ain’t straight at all. You saw how she reacted when pb caressed her

- oh yeah final winter king impressions: I hate him

- also the fact he acknowledged Betty died and couldn’t give a shit. Fuck him forever

- csnt lie I’m a little sad it’s not a direct swap universe like my little theory. But ofc that’s not a problem at all, just me predicting stuff wrong

- not letting that go tho. Passionpeachy I won’t fail you. Doomed yuri is always the answer

Ok that’s pretty much it!!! Overall I really enjoyed these episodes, and I’m gonna have a good time seeing everyone else react to them :3 but now I get some sleep. I got school tomorrow

[34saveme34]

I'm still kind of left wondering where they will take this

like. the episodes with 3, so SO many of them, hell, I think we've seen even more of it with how he is with 4, how the 2 times they were in the same movie they were just fighting, even in today episode, they seemingly couldn't stand each other- which just doesn't sit right with me- episodes previously showed that they care about each other, I also feel like the Christmas ep showed that "SMG3 making friends" isn't something 4 hates, like he looks so happy about 3 going soft about their friends being supportive and understanding of them-

like cmon, the face he made then, that's the face of someone who is happy to see that one of his favourite people is less and less of an outsider in his friendgroup, like genuinely- when I heard 4 say that line about him, I like GASPED yknow like, he wouldn't be that mean- it honestly started to make me think that maybe 3's insecurities were ALSO driven up by PV, just more lowkey. That's not to say it wasn't there in the first place. It just feels similarly to how in Perfect 4 was already frustrated with himself, it wasn't the keyboard that pushed him over the line.

also in general this whole episode was like- everyone arguing, no one was getting along to like a comically sad degree- although Bob was great I'll say- Meggy being easily agitated as she is

Mario and Luigi getting into such a heated argument was also something

no wonder Puzzles snapped but DAMN still that ENDING

showed it to a friend who only knows stuff I tell them about smg4 and even they were like wow, what an ending to leave it off at

also wonder what will happen with the showgrounds in general after we're done with Puzzles

honestly my prediction for next episode is either the finale or like, an even more of Puzzles's show breaking down

like maybe Mario chews wires where he shouldn't like a menace so like now not only are the actors hard to deal with, there's also technical difficulties going to shit and maybe he leaves and like the cast really breaks out and maybe we're left off for a cliff hanger before the movie comes out

or it's the finale and it's like

showing all the flashbacks to like, how this storyline even began and like the background of it all, maybe seeing just how much Puzzles had planned out right under their noses and like more about how he even came about, why he chose the gang as his victims and all that

maybe it all boiling down to Puzzles chasing them all over because maybe Perfect was such a hit, he just had to come back and try again and again, trying to see what makes people tick because he sees how much people love these characters which means he could get perfection out of it, right? No, he faces reddit critics and dies the end /j

[nephblrus]

without spoiling anything what does mr big splatoon think of side order

i cannot possibly give my proper thoughts WITHOUT spoiling anything so this is your warning

spoilers for splatoon 3 side order dlc

gonna be kinda going through multiple aspects and analyzing them, this is just my opinion don’t punt me into the sun please

starting off, im overall not a fan of rougelike games. so that has definitely biased my opinion. i didn’t like all the repetition and i got frustrated at it a lot, its just not for everyone! i found it became a lot easier once i figured out which colour chips and hacks helped me the most (drone boosts were big).

it took me a bit to actually finish my first run because the palettes i kept getting were weapons i’m awful at (brella, splatting, charger, BRO CMON) but i cleared my first run with the brush surprisingly. i understand how rougelikes work but it still felt kinda short and underwhelming.

the gameplay itself wasn’t terrible, the levels were interesting and i liked how you could choose the difficulty and rewards and such. colour chips and the drone were a really neat addition and i had fun getting used to it.

the lore was meh. kinda disappointed. i’m glad we got to see more of ahato/acht, just wish they got a bit more spotlight and development aside from the diary entries (they got lots, i’m just a diehard fan lmao).

the storyline in general was… a little lame to me? it felt like it didn’t really build off of much and it doesn’t give much room to expand from it (at least personally). felt a little predictable imo.

REWARDS! not bad! inkopolis square was expected, and it’s not my preferred area so it won’t be my default but i think it’s really neat and i’m excited to see it again for splatfests. really liked how we got the exact gear from the dlc as well, and the replica weapons (no tri slosh </3)

the final boss was COOL. very fun to play and much easier than i thought! (why was F28 harder than the final boss lmfao) the cut scenes were awesome, esp before the final phase. music went hard.

also. where is agent 4. cmon. cmon bro.

overall, meh. didn’t hate it, didn’t love it.

the main letdown i had was how the game actually played out vs. the concept art and how it was teased. it seemed like it was going to go in a much different direction, which is fine, just a little bit of a bummer. thought it would be a little darker like OE. side order was really hyped up and for me it just, wasn’t all that!

for me there was a lot of comparison to OE, i kinda expected/hoped for it to have the same hype. with that comparison it felt a little boring and short, ESPECIALLY in terms of rewards. it’s pretty hard to top unlocking PLAYABLE OCTOLINGS. OE had a LOT of brand spankin new stuff, levels characters plots all of it was so fresh and exciting, because before we only had basically 2 copies of the same story mode.

another thing i was talking about with sem was how in OE, since you didn’t need to beat every level right away to beat it, there was lots of new to go back and finish, AND most had multiple weapon options to 100%. SO has something similar, but again, feels repetitive to me. don’t have any motivation to do another run.

my ranking for story campaigns go:

Octo Expansion, Splatoon 3, Splatoon 1, Side Order, Splatoon 2.

Jojolands Chapter 7 Thoughts

I really liked Jojolands Chapter 7. I'll do this in the same sort of way I do my CSM posts. I probably won't talk about every single chapter in Jojolands but we'll see.

Jojoland gets the Ultrajump cover this time. Araki has said theres no canon color pallet for these characters but he's just lying to our faces. He is sold on this single Jodio color scheme. this is just how Jodio is colored. I do find it interesting he made Dragona white for some reason. It's one of those weird Araki coloring quirks you don't really see anywhere else. It's happened with Pucci and Avdol before and as pointed out by someone else on twitter, This is just how Araki colors these spreads. He uses a single skin color for every character. Still odd. Usagi's color pallet is basically a perfect Mirror of Idubbbz's Green "Dude" character. With each chapter we get slowly closer to pink Usagi.

We get the Jojolands emblem which I rather like.

Jodio's pose is still pretty dumb. I get that it's him being arrested but like- Cmon. I know for a FACT araki could've come up with something more interesting. I guess it's not that out of place for Jojo's main poses. Jotaro just pointed and grabbed his hat. Notably Jodio still has some sort of writing in this hood. I can't really make out what it says still however.

Continuing through the Cat ambush we get more information on November Rain. It's effective range is directly around Jodio with it's maximum range sitting somewhere below 7 Meters. Additionally November Rain does THIS

Which is is sorta akin to my previous theory about how it worked. It seems to have a certain amount of gravity control. However it may not be directly under it as I previously predicted but instead it's able to control the gravity of it's rain drops. So the Cats are 100% Rock Animals or some other concept for weird animals Araki is gonna reveal in the coming chapters.

Given that these cats all share the same ability to turn their hair into wires it seems reasonable to assume they're the same sort of species and this is just an ability they possess. However we've seen that some animals develop the same stands with the rats in part 4. Both of which are able to develop the stand Ratt. And then of course MY BOY RETURNS

Usagi continues to prove he's the best character in this part.

He manages to prove in just a few pages that he has an insanely high deductive reasoning skill. He was able to figure out what the Lava Rock did, Then he acted on it to win the fight. The other characters may see Usagi as a Greenhorn idiot but he's undeniably really smart. This also goes to show how dangerous the Lava Rock is. It's able to attract things of value which are inside a person or animal. It likely has a threshold on the value of objects it attracts. But we could end up with a disgustingly strong object which is able to attract organs out of people's bodies.

So Jodio's line of thinking is interesting here. It implies one of two things. 1. The cats were already stalking Rohan in search of the Lava rock 2. The cats were sent by someone searching for the Lava Rock They could very much be set up for the main antagonist(s) of this part. Possible being another antagonist group instead of just a single one. It seems like Araki is taking the criticism of Part 8 to heart and is going to be giving us our main antagonist sooner rather than later. However we've already been set up with a Traitor among the main crew who could easily end up being the main antagonist. The cats could just be setting up a minor Antagonist or Group and not the main one. Good chapter.

Another list of groups/soloists who need a comeback immediately (as of Feb 2024):

Alice/Elris - Not only have we not had a comeback since APRIL of 2023, but Do-A and Yeonje are still on hiatus with basically no updates????? Ngl, I'm getting a teeny tiny bit worried about them

AOA - .....wishful thinking. never gonna happen. just leave me to cry

Apink - Not too worried about this tbh, even their last comeback was April of 2023, it's natural for a group that's lasted so long to focus more on individual releases and solo work. I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon, and I'm happy with a yearly album. Still, I do think it's time for the comeback lol

Apink CHOBOM - Again, wishful thinking. One of the best sub-units of all times, I NEED another Copycat

ARTMS - They are preparing for their debut, but I just need it to happen quicker

Billlie - Hear me out, this one is specific - OT7 comeback or nothing. Sua and Suhyeon come back, the kids miss you....

Blackswan - Karma and Cat & Mouse were 10/10, DR is literal dogshit but cmon, Blackswan go viral on twitter every five minutes

BB Girls/Brave Girls - I feel like they re-debuted/re-launched and disappeared???

bugAboo - never taking them off this list, idc if they're all doing separate things and have re-debuted, i am putting my hands over my ears and closing my eyes so that i can live in delusional peace

Cherry Bullet - Going off their once a year comeback strategy, this should actually be happening sometime soon. Cherry Dash was March 2023, so who knows?

Choi Yoojung - if Weki Meki aren't allowed to have a comeback, give Yoojung something, I'm begging

Chung Ha - this is long overdue, I need her to release bare & rare pt. 2 immediately

CLASS:y - I know they released a barely-promoted winter single a while back, but their last proper comeback was October 2022. That's so fucking long ago.

CLC - CLC reunion??? who said that??? pls i'm begging

CSR - Not too optimistic, most of the members have been shipped off to a survival show. Sucks cause CSR had a really strong start, but their promotion went really quickly downhill after Shining Bright

DreamNote - I'm just tired..... please.... I'll take a digital single atp

EL7Z-UP - Hasn't been that long since they debuted, but I still would love a comeback lol

Everglow - my ult of all ults do something. Me and every other forever on twitter are rocking in the corner and predicting april for the next comeback

Fifty Fifty (the ACTUAL group, not the brand) - 3jeong return pls. not to attrakt, just to releasing music. keena pls leave that company, i'm literally begging.

Fromis_9 - Unlock My World was June, Hybe it's been a while. We all know you hate Fromis, but do your job. Give the people what they want

Geenius - They debuted last month lol, but I just can't wait for their first comeback. I loved Voyage so much, so I'm definitely tuning in for any comebacks whenever they may happen

Gfriend - I will beg.

Girls Generation - again, delusion. 20th anniversary???? please???

Girls Generation Oh!GG - why did they evaporate into thin air, sm.

GOT the Beat - bring them backkkkkk

IOI - there's always more room for delusions guys. they're totally gonna have a comeback guys. it'll happen i promise, i saw it in a dream

Iz*One - same here. a talking cat told me they would have a comeback.

Jeon Soyeon - she's overworked as hell, so i do not want this, but i also really really really would love another solo album

K/DA - Riot stop picking random groups to release theme songs, bring back the mothers themselves

KARD - i just think it'd be neat

Kep1er - the fact that we only have 6 months left is sickening. genuinely. i need a full album

How to Approach Your Demon Crush

Brought to you by Asmodeus Morningstar

Part 4

After the couple finally come into House of lamentation, Haruka stares at Satan worried after all the scolding he gets from Ichigo,

"Are you okay? After all that?" She asks.

Satan only nods, "Yeah, all good. No damage done." He replies, shrugging it off. As if Ichigo's scolding would affect him.

"Let's get in, man it's only five and it's so chilly!" He continues.

"Oh, you're right! Let's go!" Haruka replies, agreeing to him.

So Haruka and Satan return to the house. As they return, they're welcomed with Ichigo with a whole new look. Probably Asmo's work again.

"Wow, what's with the new look?" Haruka asks.

"Clearly I did a good job at this. They're going with me to the victory party. Quite rare for Beel to go there if I say so myself." Asmo replies.

"You did actually, she looks amazing!" Haruka compliments.

"I do?" Ichigo asks.

"For the 999th time, yes you do. Even Beel can't stop staring at you." Asmo responds. "Yes, Beel, you're caught in 4k. Shush." He adds as Beel was about to protest.

"Objectively, she does look gorgeous." Satan says. "Objectively, don't glare at me like that."

"Sure, sure." Ichigo says rolling her eyes before reaching out to Beel's hand, "Cmon, Beel, let's go."

Beel nods as he accepts her hand, going to the party with Asmo tailing behind them because he's also invited. Once they arrived at the party, the word huge would be an understatement because everyone is basically there, it's really crowded. The fangol team members, some of the audience and the cheerleading team are there, maybe more guests are also there. The music can also be heard from afar and there are lights of several colors around the venue.

'Whoever set this party really went all out and predict the victory huh?' She thought as she stares at everything.

"Hey, you, okay? You're a bit blanked out..." Beel asks, grabbing Ichigo's attention back to him.

"Yeah, I am. It's really pretty especially the lights." She replies with a grin.

"I see. Wanna go in?" Beel offers.

"Sure, let's go in." She replies.

The two got into the venue and just as they thought, it was a huge party and the next thing they knew Beel's teammates greet him and drag him away to the party to celebrate their victory, leaving Ichigo alone in the middle of the venue, confused.

For now, she just shrugs and go to find some food. At the same time, Beel protests because Ichigo is left alone there but his friends told him not to worry about it.

"She'll be fine. Let's celebrate our victory! You're the reasons we won Afterall!" He exclaims.

"Yeah...but still..." Beel protests again.

"Don't worry. We'll return you to your girlfriend if we ever find her." Another says, reassuring him.

"...Fine..." Beel sighs and complies.

Back at the middle of the venue, Ichigo is searching for snacks and drinks. She did got her snack but all of the drinks there are all alcohol and she can't drink alcohol because of low tolerance and her health condition so she decides to ask around if there are any non-alcoholic drinks.

"There's one right there. They have all kinds of soda." The person says.

"Oh okay, thanks a lot." Ichigo replies with a smile as she goes to that stand, little did she know the sodas are just the same.

After some time, Beel is finally free from his friends and currently looking for Ichigo. It's supposed to be easy since she has an all pink outfit with her pink hair and her pink ribbon but thanks to the lights it's not that easy.

Luckily, he finally finds her, talking to someone at the couch and it's one of his teammates but it was in a flirty way? He tilts his head confusedly before sniffing the air. Ah, she's drunk! At the same time, the said teammate notices Beel and literally panics.

"Dude, I swear I did nothing! Stop glaring at me!" He exclaims. "Hey, look, that's your boyfriend! He's coming to get you." He told her.

Ichigo tilts her head confusedly before seeing where the guy points at. A drunken smile appears on her face as she runs to Beel, literally throwing herself on him.

"Oh wow. Hello to you too." He greets, catching her in time.

"Hi..." She replies, super tipsy. "Where were you? I thought you left me..."

"Oh no, never! I was just celebrating with my friends and now I can find you." He says. "I'm all yours, now."

"Good!" She exclaims but she suddenly feels nausea. "Beel, where's the nearest toilet? I don't feel good..."

"Uh.... I'll get you there, don't worry!" Beel exclaims as he helps Ichigo to the toilet. Luckily they got there in time and now she's puking everything out of her stomach.

"I'm never drinking alcohol again!" She groans in pain as she continues puking.

"There, there. I'm sorry for not being there for you. I think they infuse all the drinks with alcohol." Beel says.

"No wonder..." Ichigo mutters with a sigh.

"Do you wanna go home?" Beel offers. Ichigo nods as she clings to him.

"Can you walk?" He asks.

"I don't know..." She trails out trying to stand but like a wounded fawn she falls on him. Yep, she's too weak to walk now.

"Okay, I'll carry you home. Let's go." Beel says, dragging her out of the venue before putting her on his back.

"What about your brother? Will he be okay?" Ichigo asks as she holds on Beel's neck so she won't fall.

"He'll be fine. He's with Solomon or some random demon. But most of the time he's safe." Beel replies.

"I see... why don't we just wait for him?" Ichigo asks.

"You're in no condition to wait on him. You're drunk and tonight is very cold. I don't want you to catch a cold." Beel replies. "Don't worry about Asmo, he'll make it."

"...Okay if you say so." Ichigo nods with a pout.

On their way home, Beel curiously ask Ichigo what did she consume throughout the party.

"Well, I had their food of course those are good but the drinks... the last thing I drank was mango slushie. That thing is good!" She replies.

"Mango slushie? Hmmm that's probably infused with alcohol as well. Tsk. They're not considerate enough to prepare non-alcoholic drinks." Beel says.

"It's okay. What do you expect from a demon anyway?" Ichigo says, leaning on Beel.

"True..." Beel nods agreeing to her before adjusting his hold so Ichigo won't fall.

Meanwhile at house of lamentation, Satan gave Haruka a novel book in his room. It's in romance genre, clearly this man is giving codes that he returns her feelings but unfortunately Haruka rejects it since she's not a book reader.

"Ah, you're not a book reader? That's too bad." Satan says.

"I can always give it to Ichigo. She can read that for me." Haruka replies.

"Nah, I can read it for you if you want." Satan offers.

"Well, it is a long book, that can mean I should be here for a long time..." Haruka mutters. "I'll just take that." She says, grabbing the book with a grin.

"Anyways, I'm going down for some drink. You want anything?" Satan suddenly offers.

"Milk tea if that exist. Taro flavor to be exact." Haruka replies. "But regular milk tea is fine if it's not around, or just water, you know...."

"Gotcha. I'll be right back. Stay here for a while, okay?" Satan asks before going to the kitchen to get their drinks.

Once he's gone, Haruka uses this oppurtunity to go back to her room and actually clean up. Today's been a long day and she feels nasty. So she took her bath, change her clothes, all that.

As she does that, Satan is currently making her requested milk tea. At the same time, Levi comes out from his room due to hunger and finds Satan in the kitchen.

"Oh wow, that's some awesome drink you got there! Who's it for?" Levi asks.

"Haruka, of course." Satan answers not even looking up from the counter.

"Tsk. Such a simp." Levi mutters under his breath as he opens the fridge to get his drink. "Ayo, where's the spicy pizza?"

"What spicy pizza?" Satan asks back.

"My spicy pizza! I put that in the fridge so I can snack on it at night. Where did it go?!" Levi asks again.

Satan only shrugs, "No idea. Probably Beel did it." He says, leaving the kitchen with Levi metaphorically deflating because of his long-gone spicy pizza. Once he arrived back to his room, he finds Haruka gone.

"Where could she be? I told her to stay here though..." He mutters to himself, getting out of his room to find Haruka. He tries the music room, some of his brother's room earning him a glare specfically from Lucifer but does he care? No. Another was a whole screech by Mammon who's changing and he knows that she won't be in Asmo's or Beel's or even Levi's room because those two are out and Levi is gaming alone. So he finally checks on her room and when he does he earns a smack right on his face with a pillow.

"KNOCK FIRST BEFORE YOU OPEN THE DOOR!" Haruka scolds him.

"Are you...?"

"Decent? No! I'm still using my pants! Out!" Haruka shouts.

"Then I'll just put the drink here..." Satan awkwardly says before exiting the door to let her change. Once she's done, Haruka finally lets him in and they spend the night chit chatting here and there, pretty much getting to know each other. One thing for sure, Asmo's advice is working on them.

"I wonder... When are they gonna get home...?" Haruka wonders.

"Probably midnight? They're in a party after all." Satan replies.

"True. Maybe I shouldn't wait on them and just sleep this off..." Haruka says.

"Then I'll accompany you. Is that okay?" Satan offers.

"I think that's okay. But don't force yourself, if you get sleepy just go back to your room. Don't worry about me." Haruka says.

"Sure." That's what he said with a nod as he sits on the edge of her bed while Haruka tucks herself to sleep.

Now back to Beel and Ichigo, they finally arrived home around 11 PM. Honestly, Beel already expects Lucifer to be waiting for them because 11 PM is quite late to get home especially from a party. So, when he opens the door, there he is, Lucifer at the second floor staring down at them in disappointment and now turn worry as soon as he sees Ichigo being on Beel's back.

"What happened?" He asks after he rushed down to see Ichigo's condition.

"She accidentally drank some alcoholic drink. It turns out they infused every single drink there with alcohol." Beel replies.

"Don't tell me you left her side! Where's Asmo?!" Lucifer asks frantically.

"Asmo is still there, you know him and partying and well... I got dragged by my friends to celebrate for a bit. It's just for a while but it turns out all the drinks are alcoholic." Beel explains.

"My goodness... You should've stayed by her side! Devildom is dangerous for these humans, and you know that! What if someone did things to her?!" Lucifer scolds him.

"I know, I didn't mean to do that..." Beel says regretfully.

Lucifer let out a sigh before dismissing him, "Fine, I'll let this slide for once."

Beel literally beams at Lucifer's sudden kindness and nods, going to the second floor to return Ichigo to the room. But here's where things got awkward. As Beel arrives at her room, opening it quietly he sees green eyes glaring at him.

"Satan, what in the devil's name are you doing here?" He asks.

"Accompanying Haruka." Satan replies nonchalantly, as if it's something so trivial.

"Get off, that's Ichigo's bed." Beel says.

"Fine." Satan rolls his eyes, getting off the bed to let Ichigo sleep there. "You let her drink alcohol?!"

"I did not! Those guys infused everything with alcohol without my knowledge." Beel replies.

"Oh wow. Your friends seem to be like those kinda being huh?" Satan concludes.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Beel asks.

"Alcoholics. Ironic for an athlete to be an alcoholic." Satan replies with a smirk.

"They're not, I'm not. The cheerleaders are the one who set the party." Beel answers, leaving the room. "Cmon, you have to leave too. Give them some privacy."

Satan sigh but he knows Beel is right, so he did. The two exit the room and they meet the red eyes of Lucifer again.

"Satan, why are you in their room?" Lucifer asks.

"Stop being nosy and deal with your own business, you, prideful prick!" Satan replies, walking away.

MY TOP 10 K-DRAMAS OF 2022!

honestly, there weren’t so much k-dramas that i’ watched this year. and yep, as a k-drama junkie, i do not take pride. (i blame engineering for this *angry emoji*) 

anyway, you should know that it might not be the same as yours since we probably did not watch the same k-dramas, ofc! :\\

// in no particular order //

10. Tomorrow - there are so much life lessons that we could get from this. i think, now more than ever, it’s important to raise awareness that depression exists and that it should be taken seriously. it is definitely a great reminder to always be kind because everyone is fighting a hard battle that you may or may not know about.   

9. Little Women - i liked that it gets better every episode. it wasn’t boring at all because there were so much twists after twists which made the storyline more exciting and captivating. it’s also a reminder that money is powerful but it should never be the cause to lose your integrity. needless to say, i think this is one of the best k-dramas of 2022—cmon it’s kim go eun, everyone! 

8.  Business Proposal - it’s not a typical romantic comedy drama about the rich and poor relationship because the storyline is way more fresh. thus, it was definitely a good watch as it also deeply instilled life and love lessons in me. kim se jeong and ahn hyo seop?? AHUHU i hope they could cast again in another drama—their chemistry is undeniable!    

7. Money Heist Korea - although the plot was very predictable for me, as someone who had watched the original, i still think that it did not disappoint. overall, the storyline was perfect! the twists were Intriguing! the acting was phenomenal! the casts were remarkable! it still delivered the same message from the og that it was more than just a heist but a political revolution. 

6. Twenty Five Twenty One - ahuhuhu! though i am one of those who wished for a happy ending for hee-do and yi-jin, i also believe that it was really what the drama wanted to deliver. it was more than just a romantic drama, but a slice of life that will teach us to know our worth, to follow our passion, to cherish every moment, and to realize that love doesn’t always last forever. :(( 

5. Extraordinary Attorney Woo - not only did it tackle timely and relevant issues of the society that made it interesting, it was also undeniably an eye-opening and heartwarming drama that will teach us to be kind and to let go of prejudice. this is also a reminder to invest in good education, to get out of our comfort zone, to be happy with other people’s success, and to know that every one deserves to be treated with love and respect.  

4. Weak Hero Class 1 - i said it before and i will say it again: park ji hoon’s and choi hyun wook’s acting were out of the world! to be honest, i am not really a fan of action, but there was something in the plot that got me hooked. the analytical skill of si-eun was extraordinary which made it unique from other high school drama. and of course, it wasn’t just about actions, we would also learn from here the importance of being surrounded with good people, being in a right circle of friends, being able to take a break from academic stresses, and knowing our true selves. 

3. Under the Queen’s Umbrella -  i'm happy that there were no cliff-hangers! the ending was heartwarming and tear-jerking at the same time (for some reason). It did not only give us brilliant actors and amazing storyline, but it has also courageously reminded us that such problems exist: prejudice, nepotism, jockeying, among others. the queen did not only protect her sons  but she also brings out the best in them. i'm definitely going to miss your smile, your run, and your umbrella, eomma mama! FACT: KIM HYE SOO'S ACTING IS UNMATCHED!

2. My Liberation Notes - perhaps some would not agree that it is one of the gems of 2022...?? this was a slice of life k-drama that depicts the daily lives of the three siblings. every scene was relatable and realistic that it would make you feel like you’re a part of it just by watching it. does that make sense? their story made me realize the importance of being honest to ourselves, that it’s okay to ask for help, and that having five minutes of peace a day can make life bearable.  

1. Alchemy of Souls -  to say that i am grateful for this k-drama is an understatement. i promise...the casts? the storyline? the cinematography? the acting? perfect! that is why everyone is engrossed in it! i wouldn’t even bother to continue the part two if i didn’t like the part one! i promise, this is worthy of a chef’s kiss. :))

to more k-dramas this 2023!! happy new year, everyone!

okay cmon headcanons, predictions, wishes about last twilight? please share what you think

SFJKSGGFKSHFJKSHDSFG tbh i feel like i still have to fully register the fact that we're seriously genuinely truly honest to god for real getting this show and it's not just an hysteria induced mass hallucination of the collective unconscious, so i didn't get to properly think about what i want yet, BUT YEAH OKAY ALRIGHT LET'S SEE JUST ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD

first and foremost I NEED THE SHOW TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING OKAY THEY CAN PUT ME THROUGH ALL THE AMOUNT OF PAIN SUFFERING AGONY ANGUISH TORMENT THEY WANT THROUGHOUT THE SERIES IF THEY REALLY MUST BUT THE ENDING HAS TO BE A HAPPY ONE. and im gonna be serious for a moment because it's extremely important to me to point out that when i talk about a happy ending it has nothing to do with day recovering his sight. im a love and light to all kinda gal but on god if i see anyone talk about it being a sad ending when day goes blind (because i do believe that's what's gonna happen) this is gonna be the one time i whoop someone's ass. disability is not a sad ending and what i need the most from this series is to show that disabled people can still have a happy, meaningful and fulfilling life with the person they love and who loves them in return by their side. when i talk about a happy ending it will always mean day coming to terms with being visually impaired, not giving up on being an athlete, and building a future together with mork. JUST PLEASE DO NOT SEPARATE THEM IN ANY WAY P'AOF IM TRUSTING YOU

im also BEGGING them to let jimmy keep this look for mork LIKE

I LOVE THE CASUALNESS AND THE RIPPED JEANS AND THE BLACK STUD EARRING IS DOWNRIGHT CRIMINAL AND A DANGER FOR MY HEART BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE LOOKS SO SOFT AND WARM I WANT TO HUG HIM SO BADLY

and i know some things from the mock trailer are bound to change but i really hope they're gonna maintain at least the outline of all the scenes they've shown because they're all so BEAUTIFUL and i don't want to give up on any of them!!!!!! and not to be a hoe but

[CLUTCHES THIS SCENE TO HER CHEST] DO NOT TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME I NEED ALL THE TENSION AND SNARKINESS AND PINING AND FLIRTING (god why does my mind can't stop thinking about that one scene in the way he looks where leonardo wears gabriel's jacket to bed and ends up jerking off to the smell of it.......)

also i simply think namtan's character should have a girlfriend pretty please p'aof girlfriend for my girl????? at the very least please let her and mork be bisexual besties!!!!!

i think this is more or less what i have for now. ultimately what i want the most is mork helping day accept his blindness and day helping mork find a dream for his future, the two of them making each other's life better even after those 180 days. it's not gonna be an easy journey, but i hope happiness is what's waiting for them at the end of it

[monarch-boo]

Sizzle Season '24 Predictions/Hopes/Rambles

I figure I should probably actually write out my predictions right now since Fresh '24 threw us a bit of a curveball with the earlier than expected trailer- if Sizzle '24 is anything like that, its trailer might come out as early as later this morning. Or it could be after the Splatfest like usual. But just to be safe.

Quick warning that this will cover quite a few datamined things, if you don't wanna be spoiled on that for whatever reason.

● Not necessarily a prediction but I really hope that this isn't truly the final Season.

● That being said, if it is the final Season, I am hoping it is like ACNH's final major update where they just really pop off with new shit to do and collect. Probably won't come with a DLC like ACNH since Side Order's already out (unless they surprise us with Wave 3+4 turning out to not be false speculation), but they could (and hopefully do) go all out with main-game additions like NH did.

● Final Big Run announcement, but not Final Fest yet. I think they'll save Final Fest news till closer to the *end* end.

● We know that there is a new Stringer_Explosion and Saber_Heavy (Splatana) main weapon coming at some point, if you ask me I'd say they're almost certainly Sizzle '24, or whatever the final season may be IF it's not Sizzle '24, BUT-

Dataminers looking through Fresh '24 have found two MORE main weapons now in the files. They have not identified what Classes they are yet afaik, beyond the fact that they're of some existing Classes, no brand new Class if you were hoping for that.

So the question here is, where are those weps gonna be? There are many possibilities, and all of them I find believable on some level:      • Sizzle '24 is not the final Season, the unidentified new weps are coming in Sizzle '24-- Saber_Heavy and Stringer_Explosion may be saved for the true final Season.      • They may not be saving Saber_Heavy and Stringer_Explosion for any particular time and they could release now even if its not the final-- unidentified weps saved for another Season.      • A mix of them (as in only Saber_Heavy + one unidentified, or only Stringer_Explosion + one unidentified).      • They could do something they've never done before (in 3, 3 is my first Splatoon so I dunno if 1 and 2 did more than two main weps at a time) until now and throw ALL FOUR at us in one Season.

● And what about second kits for everything? IF this is the last major update I can see two possibilities here:      • They release any remaining kits in minor updates in the coming months.      • They actually just cram all remaining second kits in here, including the second kits for main weps introduced in the same Season, something they haven't done before (in 3).

● DID YOU KNOW the Special Splatfest dataminers found when Special Fests first started, codenamed "SWEET", must have been a typo? It appears the name is now "SWEAT". SummerFest or something? Probably not FinalFest, I doubt they would want dataminers seeing FinalFest's codename so early.

● King Salmonid "BigBalloon" FINALLY. Dataminers in Chill '23 said apparently BigBalloon had a model and badges in the resource size table as of that Season, so he MUST be finally done by *now*, right?

● The Boss Salmonids that have been in the files are likely coming now too. Whether they're Night Wave or not remains to be seen. They must be coming though, because not only are "Balloon", "Ghost", and "Wheel" still in the files, but dataminers found three MORE added in Chill '23. "Silo" "Fish" and "Stick". The fact that the older ones remain and even more were added on indicates that new Bosses likely are not scrapped and are not *going* to be scrapped either! (?)

● Is... is Underground dead, though? I've never been completely sure. IF it isn't then it's possible that some or even all of those Bosses could be Underground exclusive.

● Possible expansion to Side Order? They could do all sorts of stuff, cmon Ninty. ... I should clean up and post my ideas real quick too.

● Possibly even more clothes adjustment options, though I don't really know what they could do.

● PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE new character customization options, even just a handful of new haircuts.

● Possibly even more SR suits? I would love a purple Slopsuit, I edited one based on Saint's [Row] Purple and I want it to be real so badly.

● Possibly hints or outright statements of content extension or at least Splatfest (and/or Big Run) extension and/or reruns of Splatfests and Big Runs after the end of the lifespan.

I feel like these (at least reruns) will happen anyway, I just mean like hints/confirmations within the trailer itself or Twitter reveals for Sizzle '24, as opposed to sometime much later.

● Oh, oh, almost forgot-- amiibos announced soon? Could be sometime mid-season but if this update is huge like NH and they wanna hype it up similarly, they might announce the amiibos in the trailer or Twitter reveals before the Season actually starts.

[luffythinker]

been in a Naruto mood lately trying to make a AU where Naruto is a Uchiha and Sasuke is a Uzumaki

how do you think that would go?

Sasuke being given the ninetails and Naruto having to go through his whole family and clan being murdered by his brother?

of course i want Shikamaru/Naruto involved and i feel like they would have this relationship where Shikamaru like i want to love you but you make it hard cause you make morally wrong life choices that is to say if this shaped Naruto in such a way to be the case

Sakura being swapped with Tenten and Tenten being a haruno so she gets to train with Tsunade like she wanted to

I want Sakura with scrolls

How do you think this would go? not swaping everyone just those three or 4 i guess. OH OH we could put Hinata in Neji's place and Neiji in Hinata's place too while we're at it. trying not to make anymore changes cause i wanna keep the story almost the same

Im just kinda asking if you think Naruto would try to get revenge because Itachi told him to we also could go the route of saying lets swap Minato and Itachi so Naruto's dad is his brother and Itachi is Sasuke's father but that's kinda weird to me but also kinda interesting? we can put that on the back burners but if you have something to say about it let me know what you think of these concepts when you can

WOAH OKAY lets get into it

This involves some morals and ethics discourse so bear with me here

I do think this is hard to predict, but, I would like to believe that although the context and your surroundings make a person, it's not all that there is. I think everyone has a core and Naruto, for example, is good and kind at his core (imo). So even if he went through all the traumatic events and had all the money the Uchihas/Sasuke had, I think he would still turn out to be somewhat good. I don't think he would seek revenge, but he would seek Itachi for an explanation, his goal would not be to kill him, but to understand him. This could lead to a different future, where if Itachi was met with compassion/understanding he would not just view himself as a potential sacrifice. But we can only speculate that since Itachi in and of itself is already a very complex character.

As for Sasuke, I can't exactly pinpoint his core in a word, but I do think he just seems like he would hold onto suffering more. So if he had Kurama, and he suffered the pushback from Konoha, he would still want to prove himself (like Naruto did), but he would also want to seek retribution. I think he would be much more likely to realize that Hiruzen (3rd Hokage) was a piece of shit who did not keep his words to Minato and Kushina. He would also want to make changes in society (my boy is a revolutionary cmon). Assuming he and Naruto are still friends and he eventually finds out the conditions that led to the Uchiha massacre and Itachi to act that way, when he becomes Hokage he would abolish the Anbu and make sure that certain injustices doesn't occur anymore.

All this to say, i think they would keep what makes each of them unique, even if the circumstances are different, and this would lead to their reactions to be different too.

Don't even get me started with Hinata and Neji omg, i could go on for days talking about the fuck ass hyuga clan, the whole servitude thing makes me so mad. But as much as i would like to I just don't see Hinata being as angry and vocal about it like Neji, although, i can see Neji even being from the primary branch of the family still being mad. Talking about cores again, i just think it's in himself to hate this form of separation and injustice. But since he would one day be the heir of the clan he could have enough power to abolish it sooooo [I'm so sorry this is probably not what you were hoping to get but i get heated just thinking about this]

and about switching minato with itachi, yeahh idk how to feel about that cause that would be a little bit weird but i guess it could work too? it's just i don't see minato committing mass murder

Open your eyes

OK OK OK

I watched the movie and listened to the soundtrack for the billionth time (totally not cuz I'm writing a long fanfic and details MATTER TO ME) but anyways

SO I realize that many a people likely realized the eyes phrase meaning. Like yeah cool the movie starts with open your eyes so that Mirabel can see the candle. Considering this is followed by Casita telling them it's time, this means that this was a tradition.

Abuela Alma takes the 5 year old to her room, tells them to look at the candle, and goes on to tell her story.

--

Quick note here: I love that during her story there's a moment where there's 4 butterflies that fly out from behind her (when she says Casita welcomed them) and the butterflies look like they're in the colours of her, Pepa, Bruno and Julieta but I'm watching the Yo Ho Ho version so HD when I did my best screenshot there's 4 here I promise

--

She then tells Mirabel that the miracle will give them a gift to strengthen the community and such. So by the time the ceremony got to Mirabel she already developed the notion that they serve the gifts not that the gifts serve them (I can't put exactly what I mean into words this is close enough)

The way she says it too btw is in the vein of "To be a Madrigal, you are required to have a gift."

Her tone doesn't actually change much for the rest of the lit candle portion of the movie. She refers to Pepa's emotions by the weather above her, Luisa is told to lift this move that (she doesn't even celebrate with everyone during the ceremonies she's still given chores and tasks cmon man every rewatch makes Surface Pressure hit harder), doesn't display much enthusiasm for Antonio but more relieved that he got a gift, etc etc etc you know this already

So why did I bring this up?

Because she didn't do it for Antonio.

Alma didn't give Antonio the speech.

Why am I so sure? Because the scene goes from Casita telling Mirabel she has to get Antonio ready, to Mirabel walking Antonio to his 'spotlight' and Dolores being the one to notify everyone that Alma said that it's time.

Also, the movie makes it A Thing to show Alma saying those words. It's her catchphrase essentially. I personally doubt that the movie would omit atleast the implications of this speech happening. 'There's no time!' Correct! And it would have been redundant! Consider this though, the opening implies the ceremony going like this;

1. Guests arrive and the family does their best to a proper host

2. Someone gets the child in question ready (probably parents)

3. Parents return to guests while Alma goes to the nursery and tells the story of the Madrigals and the gifts

4. Alma then walks the child to their spot and continues by herself to the stairs where she addresses the guests with a speech

5. The child is then welcomed/presented and walks up the stairs to their doors and gets their gift.

I wonder if Bruno giving a prediction was part of the ceremony either before or after too because if Isabela and Dolores got one that they remembered and Mirabel got one (granted this was after the whole no gift thing) did Luisa and Camilo? Because Bruno doesn't seem like an unprompted prediction type guy after the villagers did him real dirty

What makes me think that Alma went to the nursery? If she didn't that implies favoritism to Mirabel specifically and that seems weird out of place to me. By all accounts, nothing about Mirabel stood out YET. And no way she didn't tell her story to her own triplets when it was their turn, especially since it involves their father. Why would she skip 4 of her other grandchildren and then only tell the (at the time) youngest one? Doubt.

SO In conclusion, she didn't do the same for Antonio (he was probably told the story by the others at some point anyway) but notably, this meant that no one told him to open his eyes, specifically

Alma didn't tell him to open his eyes because hers were closed

In fact, the entire family appears to have closed their eyes, because much like Alma, their happiness feels like it stems from the fact he got A gift and has thus met the requirements to be a real Madrigal.

Which, as we know, leads to this

(Btw I love that everyone in this scene is lit tf up because they're stars shining brightly and also Agustin Madrigal you absolute unlucky man, he's probably covered in the final pic by Isabela's arm asdfghjk)

The rest is, well, the story.

Mirabel begs her to open her eyes. Alma doesn't. Mirabel begs her to acknowledge the cracks. Alma doesn't. Mirabel begs her to see what is doing to the family. Alma doesn't.

It's only when the candle goes out and Alma is left in the figurative darkness, does she finally open her eyes.

And in All of You, she finally sings it again. Open your eyes. Saw someone comment that they didn't get this line but the way I see it Alma is trying again. Alma knows she wronged Mirabel and she and the others are basically starting over (they literally sing it to her face)

--

Second note: not sure where to add this but I love that it was Mirabel who brought Antonio to his ceremony because in a way it was foreshadowing that Mirabel took over some of Alma's responsibilities. She already takes care of Casita, wakes people up if they sleep too long (that's what I took from her knocking on doors), fixes breakfast, etc etc so why not also preparing the kids and giving them a speech which is notably more in the vibes of "we will love you, gift or no gift" and not "boy I sure hope you get powers, we have an image to keep!"
