No wait let me talk some more about Bridget Jones and how despite all of it's faults I think it's a positive movie for women in general and fat women in particular

So yeah, Renée Zellweger is not fat. While I think we should not forget that she was still body-shamed in media for the slight weight she put on for the movies, she was never fat or even "chubby". It is obviously a problem that in the first two movies she is constantly treated as fat when she never was. But even thought I do not like it, that is how it is. And in the Bridget Jones cinematic universe, Bridget Jones is seen as fat. As someone who is not desirable, who is embarrassing to date and who should constantly feel ridiculous for daring to exist in the world.

And you know, when you grow up fat, you learn that you need to compensate for the crime of being too big. Especially when you are seen as a woman. You need to be smart as a whip, and funny and entertaining to be around, and talented in so many ways, and you may never be clumsy because when a fat girl falls down, the first reaction is not "are you okay", it's laughter. And you may not have standards. If a guy likes you, consider yourself lucky. You can't be too loud or annoying because you already take up too much space. When it comes to looks, you must excel at femininity. You must wear make-up and have a beautiful face and lovely eyes and you have to wear clothes that compliment your body, that draw the attention to your breasts and hips. You must always be ready to be sexualized because that is the closest thing you can get to having your body accepted.

And then there is Bridget Jones. She drinks too much, she smokes too much, she talks too much and I love her with every fiber of my being. Look at how they dress her in the first two movies. Look how they style her hair. The clothes are often ill-fitting, the hair is messy and flat. When she goes to parties, she tries so hard to look good but never looks like a typical romcom lead. She is reaching towards femininity and falling face first into mud. She is crass and has a weird sense of humour and she always says the wrong thing in every situation.

But she is sincere. She is loved by her friends, she is desired by several men (and one woman) and she is allowed to have standards. The first movie's plotline with Daniel Cleaver is so good in this regard. Daniel sends Bridget sexual texts, sleeps with her, never says he loves her and then he cheats on her. Do we laugh at how silly Bridget was to get her hopes up when she thought this guy played by Hugh Grant could like her when he never said he did and obviously only wanted sex? No. We focus on how hurt Bridget is. And I love the scene where Bridget is with her friends and Mark Darcy when Cleaver comes to apologize. He comes through her door and seems surprised she's not alone, waiting for him. It is her birthday. Of course she is with her friends. Who you would know exist if you cared about her life at all, Daniel. And you know, then he apologizes and doesn't wait for Bridget's response, he just assumes she takes him back. Because how could she possibly do better? And after Daniel and Mark have their legendary fight for Bridget's affections and Bridget tells Mark to piss off, Daniel just assumes this means Bridget has chosen him. Because a woman like Bridget needs to have someone to make her feel less like a waste of space, right? Which makes it delicious when Bridget counters Daniel's pathetic little love confession "If I can't make it with you then I can't make it with anyone" with "That's not a good enough offer for me". She is still looking for something more extraordinary than that.

And she gets it!! I can not stress this enough! She is seen as a fat woman who isn't brilliantly smart, isn't polite or suave, is clumsy and crass and socially awkward, and can't cook anything but blue soup and marmalade and is a hot mess express in general, and the archetypical romantic hero, literal Mr Darcy falls in love with her just as she is. Bridget never needs to become smarter or less awkward or less clumsy, she is loved and treasured just as she is. That is why I have loved her for twenty years.

This scene in s2 w Ed and Frenchie

Parallels with this scene w Ed and Izzy from s1

(Had to snip a part out so it would fit but at first Izzy denies and then he actually tries, albeit begrudgingly.)

I always thought the scene with Izzy was showing how disconnected the pair are and while I still think that, the s2 scene shines new light on that original interaction. Where Izzy is trying to understand his boss, Frenchie doesnt even try and only denies. This is understandable ofc with everything Ed has put him and his friends through but its just interesting how they chose to parallel the scenes. Here, Frenchie has just become first mate and its almost like Ed hopes he'll be a sort of Izzy stand-in or at least falls back on his usual rapport with his first mate. But Frenchie is not Izzy. And this parallel highlights that.

I've had theories about how Ed sees Izzy and s2 has given us so much food for thought. When Izzy directly asks him "Who am I to you?" Ed softly says "what", like he's not even sure himself. The look on his face is blank but almost imploring and unsure. Izzy is just...Izzy. Friend? Lover? Thats too complicated and yet not as complicated as their relationship with each other. Izzy has clearly thought about it but has Ed? They've been together for so long ("I've been cleaning up your messes my whole fucking life.") without communicating their feelings. Bc thats what pirates do right? They dont have time for soft things like feelings.

But then Ed goes off and finds a new lover unlike any of his others and Izzy panics. Stede is a threat to their way of life, unsafe-at least thats how Izzy sees it-and then its over and Ed is breaking, depressed and then pretending to be ok

TW: suicide discussion

-and to speak on that specific point some more, I subscribe to the belief that post Lucius-talk-Ed where he's planning music shows, etc is not him coping healthily. We see this paralleled in s2 where after Izzy is "dead" Ed puts his hair up, starts cleaning and seems "chipper". But then we know he's planning to kill himself and everyone on board that same day. So this whole charade feels...macabre. He's getting his affairs in order in preparation for the big deed. Depression CAN look like this too.

When Izzy confesses he has love for Ed he says it haltingly, like its hard to even get the words out, like he's never said anything like this before (and he probably hasn't). And the words he chooses too. Instead of "I love you" he says "I have love for you". Its like he's saying after everything, all the pain and heartache, I still have love for you. But Ed refuses to, can't hear what Izzy is saying, and dismisses his confession. Perhaps he thinks this is a ploy too. After all he's unlovable right?

But we know from later scenes that Ed does love Izzy

in his own way. Some may interpret this line as platonic, some romantic-but I think it's more complicated than that. Again, Izzy and Ed have been together for so long the lines have blurred. They love each other like a brother. They're partners. They hate each other. They're an extension of each other. They're coworkers. Boss and right hand man. They can't imagine being without the other.

Well, whatever they feel for each other its capital C complicated that's for sure.

I have so many thoughts about ✨️them✨️ but I'll leave it here for now. No hate in the comments pls. Both men are my lil meows meows and have done nothing (and everything) wrong. Love those gay dudes fr.

[theghostbunnie]

A concept I was yapping about in a server a few months ago I think I should share here copy n paste style bc I kinda cooked w it

Nurf thinking him and Ered were good friends but Ered veiwing him with the same closeness she views the rest of the campbell kids like "yeah we're all friends" but he's like but I thought *we* were friends together, like Nerris and Harrison and Preston? Like Max Nikki and Neil? Like -

"Dude you're just listing parties of three,"

"I'm listing people who were *closer* Ered"

And she's just secretly awkward like wtf do you want from me? What do you want me to say? You were..a different kind of annoying than the rest sometimes, maybe less? Constantly trying to challenge me to bets n shit was atleast entertaining?? I'm not gonna poor my heart out to you just because you ask me to. Wanna go have therapy in the open woods for children to laugh at??? Wanna make a big blow out scene??

But she doesn't actually SAY any of that she just thinks it and gives him absolutely nothing to work with and Nurf just feels more alone than before, literally all he wants is a friend and the one he thought he had apparently didn't view him to the same extent and it makes him feel so shitty.

And maybe he could chalk it up to "Ered's just like that" but if I may be really silly and say in this concept she's become friends with Tyrone n Mitchell already Nurf just feels straight up *replaced* and takes it out on those two FREQUENTLY keeping his real feelings as to why he's being a dick a secret for once.

He goes to punch somebody else and it's a whole monologue first how this is bc of his dadBut he just *insults* these guys and doesn't even laugh at his own words like he usually does after.

And it doesn't even!!!!! Effect them!!! And it pisses him off worse!!! Even using the most petty tactic he still can't get any of them to hurt like he does and it's so frustrating.

Mitchell n Tyrone (I'm picturing this was a years worth ongoing problem or they were already in a HS AU)) pick up on something being off and finally get Ered to give some information and like girl no wonder the guy has been a total angry piss baby I'd feel terrible too if the one person who was the most regularly talking to me and sitting with me all summer only saw me just as important or lack there of as everyone else.

"You're saying it like I hate him, I don't, but I am getting irritated with this whole thing.. I'm not gonna start being MORE of his friend because he's throwing a fit"

Tyrone's like "but he's really not..? He's been leaving you alone now if you hadn't noticed, and mostly just saying the odd insult to us."

Mitchell: "You don't have to be his friend if you don't want to be that's your right."

Ered: "THANK you. Finally someone says it."

Mitchell: "But he gave you *his* friendship for a very long time and you did sort of spit on it. There's kind of a obvious reason he respected you enough to never make you a target"

"Because I'm technically top dog and he's two notches away from bottom dog, socially atleast."

"Because he *cherished your companionship,* Ered. He's pretty fuckin' equal opportunist if you haven't noticed."

Ered, starting to realize: "..............crap" bc!! Damnit Nurf is a sweetie under all his layers and she knows that and the guilt of hurting him is kinda weighing.

Ered leaves to go talk with him and Tyrone and Mitchell have what I think is a little funny interaction where Mitchell light heartedly is making a comment on the exchange they just had.

" 'top dog' no way she just said that, what is this, prison?? Did I wake up in *prison*?"

Tyrone, just as confused, speaking over him agreeingly: I know I know

And Nurf's just sitting in his room when his mom announces he has a friend here and he's like 'whuh' and Ered just. Steps in and stands there.

".. what do you want.?" Bc when she DOES talk to him to hang out, it's something she wants to do, *he's* stopped initiating things. And Ered has multiple people she's "not really close with but she calls over to do specific hobbies with" since she has so many hobbies.

"Just here to talk."

Okay now she has his attention did somebody fucking die what

"I haven't been a good friend to you." She states it pretty neutrally and flatly like everything she says

Nurf's just looking at her. Girl it is a Thursday afternoon on god's green earth he is trying to do his homework rn. Half of the awnsers atleast.

She doesn't even say sorry. That was just the statement she knew was true now. "If you would like,,.. I can be a better one." She looks over once then nods her head simply.

"You're offering to be my friend just straight up like that?" Is this kindergarten.

"Feel free to decline, man." She shrugs, still neutral.

"No,no I'm not saying that" he puts his pencil down. "Can I just get an honest awnser why I wasn't one to you before?"

Ered sighs. "Promise not to tell?" Speaks a little quieter.

And he is listening SO HARD!!!!!!!

Ered inhales rlly slowly, sticks her hand out to reintroduce herself.

"Meredith Miller.

__Everything I do is to protect myself.__"

He just makes a little bit of a face like go on elaborate on that for me he is so confused and so intrigued and by what he's ASSUMING so far should he be offended.

"You're alot better person than you were back then, people don't give you enough credit for that."

The simultaneous embarrassment of remembering his hardcore bully era and the flattery of a genuine compliment like that being so rare from Ered to anyone.

"And I couldn't trust you that well then as I think I could now. Most of my friends sort of just learn this out themselves slowly but you're not going to unless I spell it out I guess. I'm not a vulnerable or open person, like, at all? Everything I do is to hide I'm flawed. Even *capable* of flaw. I build a reputation, so when I do make little mistakes, or have little quirks, people think I'm doing it ironically, or something, so people just *always* have the best assumptions of me. I abbreviate words over text I don't know how to spell off the top of my head and people think I'm just being cool. I still like how Capri moon tastes and people think I'm just too cool to even care what I have to drink because I'm so above judgement."

"So you're just.. constantly pretending?"

"No, ..sort of."

"I do it so I *can* be myself without it tanking how people veiw me, an actual genuine image of what I am I just work hard to make sure people are *nice* about it. Most of them atleast." Like a safety net built from a good reputation.

"Bigger mistakes though.. people turn on me.

And you were always turned against everyone, dude"

"Sorry.."

"It's fine. We've all got our methods." She understands his behavior comes from a really similar place.

"Nothing I said leaves this room." Pats her hand to his doorway twice as she walks out of it. "See you around."

"..... CAN WE GO BOWLING SATURDAY?"

Ered sort of stops herself mid-way going out the front door. "...Sure!" And is a little surprised he already wants to chill with her

Horde Prime's body language and mannerisms part 3/3

"Expressing facial emotion is a privilege reserved only for Prime"

Despite Prime trying to present himself as this perfect holy being who is above feelings and emotions his face is very expressive. And he's just so fun to look at! Whether he's drawn extremely goofy, unbearably cute or legit creepy

Part 1 // Part 2

1 Prolonged eye contact 👁️👁️

Prime's second favorite activity after touching people without their consent is staring intensely at them!

He can't actually "see all", but he's still trying to grasp as much as he possibly can

Prime likes to talk, but he can also be an attentive listener when he needs to. He allows his opponents speak their mind and gives them time to think and articulate themselves. All that so he can quietly observe and "read" them and find out what they actually think before they can even say a word. It's most notable with Catra. He'd often give her that "I know what you are" look X)

In some instances his stare is used to pressure people into agreeing with him and doing as he says. Or to simply scare them

Again, I've remebered HP being much more talkative than he actually is. There are many moment in the show where Prime is just... watching and patiently waiting for something. Obesrving others just to find something that can help him channel the conversation to the right direction. Like when he waited for Glimmer to try any dish on the table so he could comment on it. Or when he watched her and waited for a needed reaction when he showed her what he's been doing to Etheria

And he also often reacts without any sound or word. His true emotions are simply written on his face. They're seen in his eyes

But when HP really wants to hide them, only then does he open his mouth

2.1. The 👁️w👁️

I've talked about this before, but it was a long time ago, plus i wrote it in a reblog to another post, so now I'm bringing this back in my own post

Throughout the show Prime quite often does this one thing where he silently stares at his opponent while a knowing smile slowly spreads across his face. His eyes don't move and at no point does Prime break this intense eye contact. It looks like his whole expression changes, but the eyes stay the same. He may be smiling now, but there's still this hidden agression and venom behind those cold eyes. This is still a death stare

Most of the time Prime does this when he finds his opponents' attemts to intimidate and threaten him amusing or when he simply tries to hide his displeasure when something goes mildly wrong

But sometimes his smile is sort of a mixed signal and it's easy to read this expression wrong. One can misinterpret it as a sign that the danger has passed and Prime is not going to do them any harm after all. But in reality this smile only means that Prime has finally decided how he's going to kill them

Just like face touching, this is one of Prime's signature moves when he's trying to assert dominance, demostrate his confidense and assure that he's still in control of the situation. Or like in s4 finale scene, to warn his future victim of upcoming danger

3. "No war, no pain"

This moment has always stood out to me and all because of this face. It's such a strange almost out-of-character expression, it's both silly and a little unsettling

Here Prime is trying to make Glimmer help him find She-Ra to active the Heart - so it should be obvious that it's all bullshit and he's ready to say anything to justify his plans and made his intentions seem noble and "good actually"

He speaks in his usual voice too. But damn this manic look in his eyes haunst me to this day

Seems like he's not even looking directly at Glimmer. It's like he dissociates for a second

In this brief moment it feels like Prime is actually done with the current world and cant wait for all this "pain" to be over. What if all this time Prime was just planning to go out in style but also take everyone with him (cause how dare the world exist without him right)? This speculation contradicts his whole "Prime stays eternal" shtick, but going all this way and destroying the universe just so he can have a flashy death sounds like a Horde Prime thing to do (just remember the finale)

Or maybe he really wants to start anew and erase all the evidence of the shit he's done to the universe over the years. Or there's actually nothing behind those eyes i dunno *pokes prime with a stick* be more nuanced damnit!

4. Ears!

Sadly, we don't see spacebats move their ears much, but I think I can still work with what we got

Despite limitations in animation Prime's ears do move from time to time. And in his case they don't exactly indicate what he feels at the moment, but rather show HP's overall emotional state. His ears droop a lot during the two final episodes, and no wonder - since at the time Prime was already losing it and growing more desperate. Plus he was literally connected to the Heart of Etheria, must be overwhelming as all hell

His ears also change position in the middle of HP's passionate speeches, probably indicating that he's getting a little bit carried away - and this idea is so cute to think about :з

5. The vessel room scene

So many interesting expressions here! Probably because this is like, the only scene where Prime is all by himself (Hordak is mainly a background noise to him really). He's not as dramatic as when he's sitting on his throne surrouned by his clones or when he's tormenting his "guests" or confronting his enemies. There's no audience to act so dramatic and pretentious for

What i've noticed is how expressionless he is around his clones when no one else is watching. No smiling, no creepy touching. He's more distant and not as intrusive when its not for a show

This scene also gives a small glimpse at what day to day life of the horde clones probably looks like, as well as at their regular dynamic with Prime. And their relationship here is more mundane and cold than it is intense and horrifying. HP sees his brothers as any other tool, and just like with tools he doesnt even think about them until he needs them for something

Maybe thats what also makes Prime's touch such a powerful weapon - he doesnt normally do that. Which makes the clones both dread and crave his attention and his touch so much

I'm analysing this whole scene simply because we never see Prime like that anywhere else in the show. I mean look! I've never seen him being hesitant before and after this moment. He is only like that around his old vessel. Which again, brings up the question of his past and whether or not there is something Prime doesnt want to come back to. This body stores memories about the First Ones, his enemies, whom he himself called tyrants. Who knows what was happening back then and how it all might have affected Prime

Another small moment I like. Its so calm and quiet and lowkey almost intimate? Again, very unsual for Prime. And then there's this almost forced bitter tiny smile. It can mean two things - Prime has trouble connecting to the vessel (boo boring) or there are some memories which Prime finds pleasant. But again - they're are only memories

6. These eyes are always watching

Prime barely if ever closes his extra eyes. Well, mainly due to them not being animated - they rarely move, and never blink. Most of the time those eyes are stuck on his face like a decoration. BUT I think this only helps to reinforce the idea of Prime being this all seeing entity

No one can sneak up to him, even if his main eyes are closed... well, unless u try to come up from the left :p

7. Blink-blink

I said Prime never blinks with his extra eyes. I was wrong! He does just that in... literally only one episode. And not just blinks - some really weird shit is going on with his extra eyes during Hordak's purification scene. It looks like a nervous tic of some sorts. Nothing like that ever happens again - not in this very episode, not in any others. Why are they suddenly so animated??

Does whatever this is in the pool water hurt his eyes or is Prime just showing his sadistic excitement over his little brother being tortured?

Also, his eyes are only doing that when Prime talks about suffering and "being freed of pain" which is... an interesting reaction (especially if you remember omy previous speculations)

Well, that's all what I could find. Hope you found my HP ramblings interesting :)

[keef-a-corn]

Dat’s right, People, it’s time for ‘Keef watches TFP and you just get the notes!’

This is for season 1, episode 13: Sick Mind.

(OH HELL YES!)

I write down the timestamps, but I watch Transformers Prime on Stan (an Australian streaming service) so they may be slightly off.

ALSO! I try my best to note points for every character, but tend to get a little caught up by Bee (although I think I do a pretty good job with the notes regardless) so do be warned.

~~~~Transition~~~~

00:07 - that’s amazing and so useful.

00:11 - hehe penetrate. + the kid’s faces look so funny.

00:12 - Bee’s looking at the roof. His gaze is too high for him to be(e) looking at the same thing everyone else is.

00:24 - honestly I really like the way that line was delivered. Just makes it sound like Ratchet’s hypothesis was created on the spot.

00:25 - I just think it’s silly how they’re all just standing like that.

00:30 - Arcee and Bee are in sync and I love it.

00:38 - Suspense, my beloved!

00:44 - didn’t even think twice about bringing his husband, huh?

00:51 - I don’t think he brought his medical ki- LOOK AT THEIR HEIGHT DIFFERENCE.

00:57 - holy shivers.. the visual is so beautiful and yet so dark.

01:07 - ‘lemme get us in first’ proceeds to make door.

01:12 - it’s at this point that it’s weird Ratchet doesn’t have a battle mask. Maybe he doesn’t need it. But I think he still would.

01:17 - Optimus checks to make sure Ratchet’s okay. Y e s .

01:31 - h o l y . Imagine seeing that!

01:34 - I was going to point out that they’re all the same model, then I saw the veins and the eye sockets and started crying.

01:48 - Ratchet touches da Booba.

02:01 - why was that bot fastened up there?!

02:04 - It’s confirmed by this- if Optimus was to be bot in an apocalypse, he would let the group know. Also a slight detail I like is that Optimus goes to touch his eye, but doesn’t, knowing he’ll probably make it worse.

~intro~

02:58 - everyone else staying very fair away

02:59 - Cybonic Plague like bubonic plague.

03:00 - why did they both look at Bee?

03:12 - if you ever get stressed, I recommend just watching Bee. The way his eyes wander away from the children is adorable.

03:20 - Goddamn. Amazing how he wasn’t infected.

03:31 - HE SOUNDS LIKE A WORRIED HUSBAND.

03:40 - this is what we call foreshadowing

04:08 - That’s it. Smaller bots do cool ass gymnastics tricks when they feel stressed out. That’s my new hc.

04:16 - KnockoutKnockoutKnocko-

04:22 - he knows they’re there. He just doesn’t want to deal with Autobots.

04:24 - yes, I know Arcee’s there.. but where did Bee hide?? Like he’s yellow, he doesn’t have any hiding spots.

04:41 - Optimus is literally dying and is concerned Ratchet was infected!

05:22 - Bee’s little nod when Arcee says ‘it’s Megatron’

06:01 - She said the title!

06:32 - that was a humbling ‘no’

06:53 - The intensity of this scene is so well portrayed.

07:06 - with confidence I know Bee said ‘I’ll do it.’

07:09 - The way Raf’s voice breaks when he said ‘Bumblebee’

07:13 - shut up! This team is so supportive! It could make a grown man cry.

07:29 - Well that was rude.

08:38 - Dunno what’s going on with these two, but they should kiss.

09:08 - Arcee bending down to Bee’s level like she’s talking to a child.

09:23 - pretty visual

09:54 - delicious, more lore.

10:18 - BEE GETTING SO EXCITED TO SEE OPTIMUS!

10:20 - Ratchet having to tell Bee it’s not Optimus after he was about to go hug him.

10:34 - Bee hiding behind fake Optimus

10:38 - ‘One Shall Stand and One Shall Fall’ foreshadowing.

10:53 - it’s the intro!

10:59 - noo he genuinely got upset

11:09 - the little door wing bounce. ⭐️👄⭐️

11:13 - what the fu-

11:24 - Real or fake, Bee will protecc Optimus.

11:33 - amazing how Megatron will sooner remember Bee by his rank than by literally anything else. (It shows that he thinks he’s superior to Bee)

11:50 - let’s all agree Bee absolutely said ‘W h a t ?.’

Also the tilt! He’s like a little Puppy!

11:51 - Megatron’s initial reaction is a mix of shock and horror. It’s short lived, but it’s there.

12:06 - Hehe I love how Ratchet pronounces ‘Bumblebee’

12:10 - The height difference! OH DEAR THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE.

12:27 - ‘what are you?’ ‘M E G A T R O N’

12:29 - They look like father and son rn

12:38 - Ordinarily a logical theory as to why clones showing up would not be good is because they would be a road block to the protagonist. In this situation, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that the primary reason as to why the clones showing up would not be good is because no one wants to watch Bulk, Bee and Optimus die.

12:42 - Why is Megatron so casual about Bumblebee now? Like he looks Bee in the eyes when Bee says something.

12:46 - What?. Megatron gave Bee a moment to try and communicate with the imaginations.

13:00 - excuse me but what the fuck? WHY IS MEGATRON EXPLAINING IT TO BEE??

14:44 - this is such a serious situation… then there’s ‘Bumblebee’, such a cute and silly word.

15:07 - you’re telling me that Megatron looked so deeply into Bee’s eyes that HE REMEMBERED WHAT HAPPENED?!

15:32 - ya know.. he’s addressing Bee and is talking very calmly.. who is this because it ain’t Megatron.

15:35 - e v e n more calm?!

15:43 - the way Bee’s eyes move!!

16:33 - Megs ain’t even humouring Bee anymore. What the actual frag? If someone wanted to use sick mind as a reason why Megatron and Bumblebee could have a relationship (not love, more friendship or caretaker-) I would be 100% on board.

16:48 - What can we infer from this situation? That Bumblebee is not showing nearly as much fear and is most likely being a little snarky? Absolutely!

17:12 - a bit rude to say ‘speak now’ huh?.

17:20 - shooting Starscream would do no good, he’s already got his hand on the cord, if he’s his he’s going to accidentally pull it out. She’d be better off aiming at Soundwave.

17:51 - Okay, honestly got no clue what Bee could’ve said.

17:54 - I paused the show and it honestly looks like Megatron’s going in for a fist-bump.

17:56 - Bee looks at the formula, then at Megatron.

18:04 - ‘what the?’ Fight me. That’s what he said.

18:05 - Megatron honestly sounds like a parent doing a temptation test on their child.

18:07 - ‘what?’

18:48 - Ratchet became more animated in this moment.

18:53 - Why is the place being destroyed? Is that this risk of the C.P.P.?

19:04 - technically he didn’t.

19:08 - Megatron sounds kinda desperate at this moment. It makes sense considering that his mind is essentially breaking down around him.

19:30 - Amazing aim

19:49 - fun fact, I actually used this photo as a reference for Soundwave’s side profile.

20:13 - there’s something so sweet about Optimus immediately putting his hand over Ratchet as support. + the gentleness of Ratchet’s voice.

20:18 - Bee gotta cheer rather than just clap… Now if you look at Raf, you realise Bee’s just copying him.

20:25 - as soon as Ratchet heard ‘physician’ he gestured at Bee.

20:27 - THEY LOOK LIKE PROUD PARENTS

20:59 - (inference) the only reason that Soundwave had to keep Megatron alive was because there was brain activity, so wouldn’t now be a good time to tell Soundwave it would be best to give up on Megatron?

21:02 - The BOOOOW

21:06 - Bee jolts slightly and his eyes dilate, how did no one notice that?

———————

And that was Sick Mind!

Honestly I enjoy that episode a lot! And watching it right after predatory makes the episode even better!

The episode fleshes/metals (I’m so funny) out a lot of the characters and the impact Optimus has on their lives and how far some may go, especially Bumblebee. I also think that the episode does some justice for Megatron, showing that he's not pure evil and will listen to reasoning, and there’s a progress between him and Bee where he gradually shows Bee more respect, although the dynamic was short lived, it was still very refreshing.

The episode also sets up that Bee is really good with communication (despite the barrier) and persuasion, using what he knew about Megatron to get the cure.

Genuinely a great episode 10/10.

UTDP/Summer Camp: Hajime Hinata

in-game info from v3's UTDP Mode and Danganronpa S: Summer Camp AU, for fanart/fanfic inspiration etc. note that this is a "nice" universe where v3 goes to Hope's Peak and Junko never Junko'd.

this post details Hajime Hinata's scenes with others, as well as insights about him that these bits provide. there's a Lot, so jump on down under the cut.

(i hope to do all characters over time, so Hang Tight for your fave!)

> more UTDP/Summer Camp character databases <

CANON NOTE: Izuru Kamukura still exists. I will cover him in a separate post, as he's treated like a separate character. Strangely, though, from text alone, we can't confirm Hajime's relation to Izuru in the UTDP/Summer Camp AU. Considering Hajime and Izuru have similar scenes with different outcomes (much like Junko and Mukuro), it could be that they never exist at the same time (that is, we actually have two timelines going in this AU). It's up to your interpretation.

HAJIME INSIGHTS:

Hajime is still in the Reserve Course here (UTDP, w/ Aoi Asahina) + (UTDP, w/ Ryoma Hoshi) + (many others)

Was invited to the Summer Camp VR trip, though it's never explicitly stated why [just because of his "connections"] (Summer Camp, Prologue) + (Summer Camp, Taka's Campfire 3)

"I can't just stay a kid forever. Examining yourself and the reality you live in...That's how one moves ahead." (Summer Camp, Monokuma & Hajime)

"I'm cool with animals. A pet would be a bit too much for me, though." (Summer Camp, Ryoma & Hajime & Nagito)

Impressed by the Summer Camp VR world, and it piques his interest in things he never considered before (Summer Camp, Leon & Hajime & Chihiro)

"I'm just used to all the trash talk about being in the reserve course by now." (Summer Camp, Potential of Talent 3)

Makes balloon art for the Summer Festival, though with practice he can only make a dog and a flower (Summer Camp, Summer Festival events)

[Monomi:] "Hehehe...Hajime, you've become a full-fledged member of the class." (Summer Camp, With Swimsuits)

Reads a lot during the events of Summer Camp: "I feel a need to expand my horizons. I'm surrounded by specialists..." (Summer Camp, My Future)

HAJIME & OTHERS:

In this universe, Hajime still hangs out with class 77 a lot [notably Kazuichi, Gundham, and Chiaki] outside of school (UTDP, w/ Aoi Asahina)

Discusses talent with Ryoma, and Ryoma tells him: "You can choose any path you want, but be sure to think carefully about where it will lead." (UTDP, w/ Hajime Hinata)

In another discussion, Hajime tells Ryoma to treasure the days he has with his friends, even if he has to go back to prison after he graduates (UTDP, Ryoma's Winter 2)

Nagito finds Hajime mysterious, especially how he's drawn to main course students. Hajime doesn't understand him in return (UTDP, w/ Nagito Komaeda)

In fact, Nagito seems to hope Hajime will see his point of view about being a "stepping stone" for other students. Hajime does not (UTDP, Nagito's Sports Festival 3)

But Hajime does force Nagito to be his friend (UTDP, Nagito's Winter 1)

And to be a normal human being to the rest of his class (Summer Camp, Campfire 3)

Talks to the other male protagonists about giving [and receiving] presents (UTDP, w/ Makoto Naegi and Shuichi Saihara)

Feels that others rely on Chiaki because she's helpful. Chiaki feels the same right back to Hajime, noting he's helped many in 77 come out of their shell (UTDP, w/ Chiaki Nanami)

Often asked to join in on main course activities (UTDP, Sports Festival events)

Kazuichi considers Hajime a "soul friend" [though full disclosure, this may have been to convince Hajime to invite Sonia to his birthday party] (UTDP, Winter 2)

Asks Sayaka if she'd still be an idol regardless of Ultimate status, and her answer is yes (UTDP, Winter 3)

A little unimpressed with Keebo, but realizes that sometimes being an Ultimate is "who you are, not what you do" (UTDP, Keebo's School Festival 1)

Gets advice from Gonta about having fun in the future, rather than worrying about talent or even passion. Then they bond over bugs and it's cute (Summer Camp, Gonta & Hajime)

Monokuma tries to "bond" with Hajime over their "outsider" status. It does not work (Summer Camp, Monokuma & Hajime)

Monokuma also tries to make Hajime upset about being in the Reserve Course. It does not work (Summer Camp, Potential of Talent 3)

Hiyoko asks Hajime for help picking out souvenirs for her father. Hajime is not helpful (Summer Camp, Hajime & Hiyoko)

Doesn't know what Monokuma and the other Kumas are, but neither does anyone else, really (Summer Camp, Leon & Hajime & Chihiro)

Prevents Mahiru from accidentally getting an embarrassing shot of Mikan falling [probably coochie out] (Summer Camp, Hajime & Mahiru & Mikan)

Encourages Mondo in his endeavors to become a carpenter (Summer Camp, Potential of Talent 1)

Considers helping Taka reform Hope's Peak (Summer Camp, Taka's Potential of Talent 2)

BONUS ECHO FROM ANOTHER LIFE: (UTDP, Winter 1)

[insomniactalks]

I'm just gonna talk a bit about the use of "showmance" (1.01 & 3.02) in regards to both instances above (which happen to refer to b/ girls’ relationship w/ EJ).

Nini and EJ both played the leads last summer, and eventually started dating. She calls it a "showmance" because I think it highlights how far the relationship was supposed to go. It wasn't really meant to last beyond their perfect summer at camp. Their relationship was just a showmance for the most part, and a rebound, for Nini b/c she was trying to get over Ricky. Though EJ may have felt that Nini was "real" unlike the other girls he dated (1.02), unfortunately, the relationship itself wasn't very real and genuine because it was only ever meant to be a showmance. EJ telling Nini he was "just trying to hold on to what they had over the summer" (1.04) perfectly highlights just how long the relationship was meant to last. Don't get me wrong, she had every right to end it when she did given EJ's actions, but Nini was also kinda looking for any excuse to break up with him once summer was over. Ejini was just a showmance, not a genuine connection (or at least wasn't meant to last). BTW, Gina was present for Ricky and Nini's fight in the hallway in 1.01 (you can peep her in the background). Nini also sorta abruptly ends things with Ricky in the 1.01 scene (which I'll get back to.) She basically officially breaks up with Ricky and doesn't leave room for a conversation. I'll get back to this point in the next part.

In 3.02, Gina expresses some disappointment at not being able to play leads together with EJ at camp. She was hoping to "continue the romance into the showmance," which I'm actually glad is not the case. Unlike his rela w/ Nini, which was established thru playing romantic leads in the show, thus only being a showmance, what Gina has with EJ is more genuine than that (and established prior to the start of summer camp). Nini declared “summer’s over” during her break up with EJ in 1.04 after he said he was “just trying to hold on to what we had over the summer,” which she was totally right to do given the whole egg situation. Tho Gina may want to have her romance with EJ continue onto a showmance, I’m glad that’s not the case b/c their relationship goes beyond putting on a show on stage. An/o thing, Gina takes the initiative to clear the air with Ricky in 3.02 by suggesting they “start over” b/c she knows how tense and awkward things have been b/t them given the events of last season. Unlike Nini, who didn’t leave a lot of space for Ricky to talk during their convo in 1.01, Gina wants to be on good terms with Ricky given the past. She just had her “Balance” dream sequence, where she sings about having the balance b/t her past and present self, then has the run in w/ Ricky. She wants to “start fresh,” and Ricky is able to be his goofy self, which reminded me of their S1 dynamic. He agrees that he wants this summer to be fun. Gina is trying to find this balance b/t her past w/ Ricky, and her present w/ EJ. Instead of leaving things unspoken b/t them, she makes the effort to be on good terms w/ Ricky and not hold the past against him. I think this is crucial to the rebuilding of their friendship this season, and so will playing the leads in the musical.

Now, I’ve had this thought for a while, so I’ll share it now. Tim, being the showrunner, could realistically make both sides of the fandom (Ricky/Gina shippers and EJ/Gina shippers) feel pretty satisfied this season by giving plenty of content to both. With Ricky/Gina being romantic leads in the musical, and as two ppl wanting to rebuild their friendship, they’ll share plenty of scenes together thruout S3. They could actually have a showmance within the confines of the musical as Anna and Kristoff/Hans. I’m sure their shippers would love to see them in this context, esp after S2. At the same time, Tim could also give Portwells a satisfying story this season by continuing to have EJ and Gina grow together, even when they’ll inevitably (slightly) regress in S3. I don’t understand why some PWs see EJ and Gina dealing with conflict this season as a bad thing. They are a couple, and no couple is perfect. As wholesome as Redlyn and Seblos are, even they dealt with issues in their relationship in S2. Conflict oftentimes gives rise to great development and resolutions, and it’s totally possible for Portwell to deal with real conflict this season and still make it out in the end stronger, together.

TL;DR- Gina could have a “showmance” with Ricky as her romantic lead in the musical, while still maintaining a real romance with EJ as her boyfriend. I believe she can and will find the balance b/t the two this season.

Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN ー Subaru Dark [05]

CHAPTER MASTERLIST

ー The scene starts in the hallway

Yui: Ugh...

( There’s traces of someone punching this wall as well... )

( I guess those words are weighing heavy on his mind after all. )

ー A flashback ensues

Kino: I don’t know who my mother is. Also, I’ve been living in Rotigenberg since my birth.

I’m sure you’ve heard of that place? The land where the Ghouls live. That’s where I was abandoned.

Subaru: Abandoned...?

Kino: Exactly. ...Just like your mother was.

ー The flashback ends

Yui: ( ...If this has caused him to feel even more troubled by the fact that he inherited those powers,.. )

( Then maybe I should go talk to him...? )

ー Ayato approaches her

Ayato: Wait, Chichinashi. 

Yui: ...Is something wrong?

Ayato: ‘Is something wrong’, my ass! Do somethin’ ‘bout Subaru already!

It’s a big pain in the ass how he goes ‘round wreckin’ the whole damn house. 

Selection

→ Stand up for Subaru-kun (❦)

Yui: But I believe Subaru-kun has a lot to process as well since he only just inherited those powers...

Can’t you go easy on him?

Ayato: Haah!? You’re tryin’ to tell me I should just suck it up and deal with it!?

Yui: I’m not, but...

→ That’s easier said than done...

Yui: Y-You’re kind of putting me on the spot.

Don’t you think it’d be better to go talk to Subaru-kun directly...?

Ayato: Haah!? The fuck are you sayin’!? Do you really think he will listen to me!? 

Yui: ( H-He does have a point... )

Ayato: Besides, you like him, don’t you? 

Then take your responsibility and go convince the guy!

Yui: ...! ...F-Fine.

( It might seem like I’m being urged by Ayato-kun but... )

( It was always the plan to go talk to Subaru-kun so...I suppose I’ll hit up his room right away. )

ー Yui heads towards Subaru’s room

*Knock knock*

Yui: Subaru-kun, are you there? ...I’m coming in, okay?

ー She enters his room

Subaru: ...I didn’t give you permission to enter. 

Yui: S-Sorry. But I really need to talk to you. 

I’m worried about you, because you’ve been seemingly having a lot of distress regarding your powers as of late...

Subaru: ...

Haah. ...Fine. Take a seat over here. 

Yui: ...Thanks. 

ー Yui sits down

Subaru: So? What do you want to talk about?

Yui: ...Hey, what exactly is it you want to do with your powers?

Subaru: Haah?

Yui: W-Well...There’s the whole thing with Karlheinz-san and Christa-san after all...

So I was just wondering how you personally feel about those powers.

Subaru: ...Me personally...?

Yui: Yeah. I want to hear how you truly feel, regardless of what the people around you may think or say.

( I’m pretty sure the reason why he’s been so emotionally unstable, feeling down or getting angry...all leads back to that... )

Subaru: I...

...I’d love to be able to force these powers on someone else.

Yui: ...Yeah.

But...You can’t do that, huh? Give them to someone else, I mean...

( If it was possible to easily transfer those powers from one person to another... )

( Subaru-kun might have just given them to Kino-kun... )

Subaru: ...If I die, wouldn’t someone else be next in line?

Yui: No way...You can’t do that.

I...don’t want to have to say goodbye to you so soon.

Subaru: ...

...But if I don’t do that, this situation will never change, will it!? What am I supposed to do then!?

Yui: I-I don’t know that, but...

Still...Let’s just calm down for now?

Getting upset won’t change the situation either, nor will it fix the issue, right...?

Subaru: ...!

???: Nfu~ Look at you two lovebirds, bickering like a real couple. 

*Rustle*

Subaru: !?

Yui: Kyah!?

Laito: Hey there, you guys~

Something seemed to be weighing down heavy on Subaru-kun’s mind, so I’m here to offer him some advice as his ‘onii-chan’~

Yui: ( Laito-kun...When did he get here!? )

Subaru: What are you here for!?

Laito: Geezー How rude.

Didn’t you hear me earlier? Your Onii-chan is here to offer you a few words of advice~

Subaru: Fuck off. Like I’d ever take advice from some pervert like you. 

Laito: Oh come on, don’t be like that. Those powers are weighing down heavily on your mind, aren’t they? 

Subaru: ...!

Laito: I can understand very well, you see? Why you’d rather not have those powers, that is.

Having those mighty powers far beyond your own control reside in your body must give you the feeling as if that guy is holding you down, or you’re being forced to succumb to him, correct? (1)

Subaru: ...

Yui: L-Laito-kun! T-There’s other ways to put it...!

( I’m sure Subaru-kun will get agitated... )

Subaru: ...I mean, you’re not wrong.

Yui: Eh...?

Laito: Heeh...So you actually can be honest if you want to.

Subaru: Aah? ...Should I not?

Laito: Hm? Not at all! If anything, I believe it shows you’re going in the right direction. 

...In that case, I suppose your Onii-chan shall give you one more piece of advice then. 

For exampleー ... A way you’ll no longer feel angered at that man. 

Subaru: ...Really?

Laito: Listen. I’m not gonna bother lying about this.

...Well, I never said it was going to be easy, of course.

In short, don’t you think what you have to do is try your best to gain control over those powers?

Subaru: Haah!?

Laito: That would solve everything. I mean, it’d basically prove that you’ve proven yourself to be better than that guy, right?

Subaru: ...Are you bein’ for real?

Laito: Likeー Iー saidー I’m always serious, aren’t I?

Subaru: Che...I shouldn’t have bothered listenin’ to you. If you think you’re bein’ funny, you’re not.

ー Subaru walks away

Yui: ーー Ah, Subaru-kun!

Laito: Ahーah. He left. 

Honestly, I don’t think he has any reason to get so upset.

Yui: Y-Yeah...

Laito: ...It’s fine, really. I know that he simply can’t be honest with himself after all. 

Yui: ( Laito-kun is so nice. )

( What he just did shows that he’s worried about his younger brother, right...? )

...Thank you, Laito-kun. 

Laito: Nfu~ You’re kind of sounding like his wife, apologizing in his place.

Yui: T-That wasn’t my intention...

Laito: You’re so cute when you get all flustered, Bitch-chan.

...But well, don’t fret about it. I basically did this for my own sake as well.

Yui: For your own sake...?

Laito: If he walks around like a big grump all day, it’ll affect us as well, right?

So I figured that trying to do something about it as soon as possible, might just benefit us in the long run, you see?

Yui: I see...

Laito: With that being said, I shall leave the rest to his dear wife. Good luck~

ー Laito leaves the room

Yui: ( ...There he goes. )

( I hope Subaru-kun will actually take his advice to heart... )

Monologue

When you think about it,

Laito-kun’s advice is actually very straightforward. 

If you do not like the fact you’re being restrained by an overwhelming force,

then you just have to learn to control (操って) it.

While this may,

not be an easy feat to accomplish. 

Still, I am sure that Subaru-kun can surelyーー

The only thing I can do for now,

is have faith (信じること) in him.

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

(1) This piece of dialogue is split into three different lines of dialogue in the actual game, but it was easier for me to just translate it all as one big sentence since the word order isn’t identical in Japanese and English. 

[meduseld]

Okay fine, I’ll do it myself: everyone is talking about the clock/time running out symbolism in Goncharov (1973) but no one is talking about the recurring idea of “deserving”? 

Like the toast at the start with “may we never get what we deserve”? The “it’s what they deserve” right before the union raid? Sister Laura telling the boys “in Heaven and Hell we get what we deserve”? Spadano’s literal last line after being stabbed is “I deserved it” (that one is excusable since it’s hard to tell what he says w the coughing up blood n all)? 

And like yes I have seen the very sexy gifset that contrasts the lines in the two climactic ‘break-up’ scenes where one goes “I deserve more / You’re gonna tell me what you deserve?” and the other “You don’t deserve it / You’re gonna tell me what *I* deserve?”

Like Marty is exploring the whole dichotomy between what we want and what we deserve, and it *ties back* into the whole time theme because the point is that you need to resolve the dissonance between want and deserve before it’s too late and you’re dead, from doing things for what you want that get you what you deserve, capisce?

[fuckmeupjackson]

I Think S3 Jancy's Goodbye Scene Tells Us How Mike Feels About Will

Buckle up girlies and get your yoga pants on cause this might be a stretch. But if it's actually right, I think it's really cool! ***LONG POST*** bc i cant stop being detailed. ***excuse the messy explanations****

---------

Here's the TL;DR:

Jancy's emotional goodbye scene reveals Mike's inner thoughts for Will by using several parallels, including double lights and a reference to the "crazy together" scene. It's pretty basic, it just shows that Mike essentially deeply longs for and misses Will and that's what motivates his emotions.

--------

Here's a link to a clip of the Jancy scene if you want to watch it at any point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBVa0rOLITo&t=54s

Byler Scene + 1st Parallel

Okay, so to start off, we're looking at the characters' goodbye scenes as the Byers family moves out of their house at the end of season 3. In case you forgot, Mike and Will's very brief conversation goes like this:

M: "Dude, that's the donation box."

W: "I know. I was thinking I could just use yours when I come back. If we still wanna play.'

M: "But what if you wanna join another party?"

W: "Not possible"

That's it. Will walks off happily to the left of the screen, then it immediately cues to Jonathan walking left into the frame of the next scene. This is the first thing that tells us that maybe we should be comparing Will and Jonathan together throughout these two scenes, as well as the fact that they are both the ones who are moving out of the house (and that they're brothers, of course). Jonathan approaches his doorway and leans on the frame. What I would like to point out are the double lights behind him.

As he positions himself on the doorframe to the left, he moves to be directly in front of these lights. Double lights, from what I have seen, have come up in two more significant times throughout the show:

The fact that the double lights come up in both these scenes is initially what made me start to pay attention to them. They're especially significant because they're the lights that flash when Will says "see you tomorrow" to Mike -- the day he gets kidnapped into the upside down. Of course double lights on garages is common, but it's not as common indoors, especially in a house. They're definitely intentional.

And ,then in the second scene (s4) they're right behind Vecna (who has been paralleled with Will Byers) in a scene with Nancy (earlier in that scene, Nancy also has a moment where she's positioned in front of those double lights.). So now we know that, if I'm not being delusional, there's a connection between Will, Jonathan, Nancy, Mike, and Vecna/the upside down throughout these three scenes.

I AM GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON THE FIRST SCENE, WHERE WILL LEAVES MIKE AND THE LIGHTS FLICKER.

Let's briefly talk about that flickering lights scene. It's the very first sign that Will is in trouble, and it marks the very beginning of his relationship with the upside down. It's where all the pain started for Will, and therefore for Mike as well. My theory is that this symbol between the Season 3 Jancy scene and the Season 1 Byler scene means Jonathan and Nancy's dialogue here represents what Mike has been wishing he could say/have said to Will since that day he went missing. Ever since that one moment at the garage that started it all. Or better yet just the day he realized Will went missing /or/ thought Will was dead. Sounds confusing but it'll make sense soon. But it especially makes sense since, you know, this moving out scene is ALSO another moment where Mike and Will get physically separated for the second time since will's initial disappearance. It's just like a re-do of Byler's first garage/"it got me" scene. (And there's also the scene a few minutes later after this of Mike hugging his mom, which parallels and further establishes the connection to season 1 Mike when he does the same after he thinks Will is dead.). That may be a stretch, and if it is, I still believe that this Jancy scene is meant to reveal Mike and Will's feelings for each other at least in this moment, as they are separated and begin to move away physically.

----------

Mike's Inner Thoughts + 2nd BIG Parallel

So, in order to check this theory, let's take a look at Jancy's actual dialogue here. Nancy follows Jonathan into the frame and asks

"Is that everything?" I absolutely have convinced myself that this is significant here. This is the first thing that is said. It's DIRECTLY after Will walks away from his convo with Mike that I wrote out above. Let me remind you that Will and Mike's goodbye scene was the shortest out of any of the friend groups/relationships'. It was very brief and didn't really have a sense of closure. Mike didn't even respond to Will, he just gave him a mysterious smile as Will walked away. So I think Nancy saying this here is narratively an effort to open up a deeper part of the conversation, that should have been an extension from Byler's conversation. "Is that everything you wanted to say?" --and then Jancy says what was on Byler's minds for them-- is what role her line plays here.

(I recommend video of the J*ncy scene here, it would help to watch it when reading the dialogue out because it really emphasizes the emotions lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBVa0rOLITo&t=54s)

-------

DIALOGUE

From here on, I just want you to imagine Nancy's dialogue as Mike's thoughts and Jonathan's dialogue as Will's thoughts, especially in the context of what Mike has constantly been feeling towards Will throughout his arc:

Jonathan: "I guess so. 17 years of my life, packed up in one day." --(a nod to leaving his childhood behind - just as Will's dnd book is - and possibly referencing how Will's childhood was taken away when kidnapped by the demogorgon)--

Nancy: *goes up behind J to hug him* "What if I just... don't let you go?"

Jonathan: "I think... the new owners might kick us out."

Nancy: "You could stay in our basement." Jonathan: "Your dad would love that."

--------

Analysis: There's the theme of Nancy/Mike not wanting to let Will/Jonathan go here. It's so heart-wrenching. This just makes me really emotional, cause it's so emotional to begin with, but to imagine it as Mike's inner feelings to Will too... UGH. I'm just gonna say it, I lowkey CRIED AND THREW A FIT WHEN I FIRST IMAGINED IT. BUT SILENTLY CAUSE SOMEONE WAS SLEEPING IN THE OTHER ROOM XD. But...

There are a few similarities here: The basement is where Mike and Will felt like they could be themselves. The father would disapprove of their relationship. It's all the same.

"The new owners may kick us out" could mean several things, but I think it most likely means that if Mike didn't want to let Will go, meaning he wanted to stay close to him forever, society would see them together and judge and isolate them ("kick them out"). Or it could mean that Mike wishes he could have saved Will, maybe by not letting him leave (here goes another garage scene parallel in season 3 - "Will, come on, don't leave, it's raining" - Mike just wants to keep Will "home" because it's safe for him). But Will's capture was inevitable, the monsters would get him anyway, just as his pain and trauma getting a hold of him was inevitable, and society would make him feel like a mistake at some point in his life anyway, no matter what his best friend could do for him.

All of this just reiterates Mike's desire to keep Will in his life and his fear of letting him go, even if he doesn't show it right away.

--------

DIALOGUE CONT'D

Nancy: "We could hide you in a tent. Like El."

*Nancy begins to Cry. *

------------

At this point, it's not really so much about showing what's on Mike/Will's minds, but more so an explanation of their arc together.

It would be quite easy to say that, keeping in mind that Nancy parallels Mike here, this reflects Mike's feelings about El, but I have a completely different theory. Throughout the show, El represents Hope. Hope, sometimes, to the point of delusion. She also tends to fill people's empty hearts. We can see here that Nancy is being overly wishful, trying to provide the clearly unrealistic, bordering on childish, solution of keeping him in her basement in order to lessen the pain of losing the boy she's in love with. Sound familiar? I think this whole time, that's how Mike has felt about El and Will. He clung to El because of the hope she provided to him. She did the impossible for him. She helped bring his friend back and defeat the evil monsters (which represent pain/trauma/being in the closet.). But ultimately... his attachment to her is driven by the love he has for his best friend, and the desire to run away from the pain it causes him. That's a post for another time though lol, let's take a look at an EVEN BETTER part. BECAUSE IT'S AN ACTUAL SCENE PARALLELED WITH BYLER.

------------

This next part is the most TELLING ONE:

Jonathan: "Hey. it's okay."

*JONATHAN TAKES NANCY'S HAND AND TRACES IT WITH HIS THUMB*

Jonathan - "As a wise man once said, we've got shared trauma." (perhaps a nod to Will the wise, even tho he's talking about Murray lolz).

*cuts to their faces then cuts back to their hands again*

Nancy: "So what's a little more, right?"

Jonathan: *kisses her hand* "What's a little more."

They then kiss and hug in front of the window and it zooms out.

---------------

This has probably been mentioned before and I haven't seen it bc I'm fairly new on tumblr, but this is literally like the crazy together scene you guys. There are so many similarities here. There's also the hand holding that actually parallels the scene where Mike says "we won't. we won't" to Will in season 2. But especially regarding the Crazy Together scene, there are two similarities here: the shared trauma/going crazy together, and then there's the fact that both the scenes mark the beginning of the two characters spiraling in different directions but, somehow, becoming closer as a result of it. (Nancy and Jonathan are moving farther apart physically, but somehow that's shared trauma? That's because them moving apart makes their two hearts ache in the same way, a way that nobody else seems to understand, which will ultimately be what connects them together despite the long distance. Then for Mike and Will in the Crazy Together scene, they are talking about going crazy for two slightly different, but similar reasons, reasons that in the future will split them apart, but somehow this drives them closer together, showing that no matter what causes them pain, they know that they can ultimately rely on being understood by one another, more so than by anybody else. Ugh and the fact that the Crazy Together scene happens directly after another Jancy scene where Jonathan puts Nancy in her bed?! And both those scenes are about one character taking the other character home so they can feel safe?! And Byler is in the basement which is mentioned by Nancy here?! And Mike took Will there after saying "let's take you home"?! And this scene is all about home?! It's happening. I'm believing everything I'm saying, and that's dangerous XD.)

The last thing I'd like to say is the soundtrack here is the tiniest bit reminiscent of "You're The Heart." (@ 2:30 and somewhat at the beginning) And it's called "You're a fighter." Take what you want from that. That could be pro m*leven if you want, unless you're like me and you think that Mike's monologue to El w/ You're the Heart playing in the BG was actually a reveal of his feelings for Will, esp given that, you know, the title of the score is named after what Will said to Mike to inspire him.

Also, as a disclaimer, I didn't want to diminish Jancy's relationship here, I love this scene on its own and what it means to Jancy, so sorry if it came across like I thought they were only important in relation to Byler, not my intention!

OKay guys BYEEEEEEEEEEE

if you read this whole thing I'm sorry for putting you through the torture that is my stream of consciousness but thank you for reading haha

**FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME ON ANYTHING OR ADD ON**

[llycaons]

got done with that really long cheating fic and here's what I got

like pros

really strong wx dynamic. the emotional scenes HIT and kept me coming back. love how they seamlessly went from 'best friends of 20 years' to 'deeply in love and ready to move in together' in under a weak with nary a dramatic miscommunication. that familiarity translated to well to romantic compatibility and joy in each other's presence. really lovely relationship dynamics and mutual obsession

the barbie princess and the pauper line

"She never tried to see me!" Wei Ying is babbling... "Never saw me, not me me, not, Wei Ying, this is my Wei Ying, no, just, some random husband, a husband she didn’t even try to like, she had to marry me but she —" His voice breaks. "She never liked me for me. Why would she like me for me."

there's another part when he talks like 'she didn't try to love me for me' and this is nearly verbatim the same song as Barbie" Princess and the Pauper "If you Love Me for Me", on the one hand this does kind of make wwx sound like a sulky child but on the other hand he's right and it's not fair and it's an emotional line that fits the story

some of the best cuddling I've ever read. dang. not enough authors dwell on the cuddling. also the naked in-depth conversations were really nice and intimate without always being sexual which I appreciated

that scene towards the end where wwx sees the video of his parents interacting with him and saying they loved him oooohh that went into resolving his abandonment issues so well

I really liked how wwx's relationship to sexuality was written. not his relationship to being into guys so much, but like, his relationship with sex? the demi tag put me off but it actually felt pretty true to his character even tho I see it differently for him in canon. of that makes sense. like I think his canon nonengagement with sex during the majority of the show (in the drama) is more related to trauma and just trying to survive bc in the CR arc he was definitely teasing in sexually aware ways but this also feels true for him? hard to explain

the jumping around in time was really neat, especially when each one has its own plot to be resolved and it all accumulated to the sum of its parts in the end

qs is a lawyer and so is jgy which was neat

otherwise???? very strange!!!

wwx and lwj not being aware of being into men until literally their 30s. lwj literally goes on a date with a woman and kisses her. and talks about wanting to be prepared for a gf. like apparently this setting is even more homophobic than ours but I still think that's really ooc! in the novel lwj did grow up in a hostile social environment and he knew how he felt at like age 15. idk I've grown up in a fairly accepting area and that's not something i've personally struggled with so this isn't a personal judgement on realism or w/e, it's a judgement on character. lwj responding to the suggestion he might be gay and reacting with defensiveness and repression may work for his younger self, but by 30 years old? I don't see it

wwx marrying a woman was less weird than I expected because it was essentially arranged/to repay his debt to the jiangs but the debt part doesn't even seem to matter after the marriage bc when wwx is upset at himself for cheating he's like 'oh shit I feel terrible' and 'I need to divorce her so I can be with lwj' but he doesn't spare a thought as to how that would retroactively fuck up his debt payment??? I liked how he was written in a lot of ways but this was so baffling. does he care abt it or not

lqr is the single kindest and most nonjudgemental adult wwx knows. now I love him. but that is just not accurate to his canon self. judgement and strictness is a huge part of his character

very little interactions with jfm or jyl, and I know jfm sucks but he DOES care about wwx and it was weird to see him entirely missing from wwx's life. and jyl! she's barely in it

overall very weak sibling dynamics, which I don't usually mind bc the romance is so well done, but it felt wrong even to me

jc and wq apparently married with KIDS god help her

the het sex scenes were weird and uncomfortable

NHS IS MARRIED TO A WOMAN actually that's not wild ig he could be bi but he always bickers w his wife while jc is happy w wq and they have kids and that just seems wrong I don't think jc should have domestic bliss im sorry its just not in his character he has a terrible personality and way too much history with the wens in canon obvi. nhs however is clever and strategic and I don't think he'd ever agree to marry someone he doesn't actually like? unless the implication is he's gay and also unhappily het married but even then if anyone could figure out a lavender marriage situation it would be him

qs was not villainized or anything and I liked how her story with wwx ended but there was a really stressful scene of wwx angrily punchnig a wall during one of their arguments and that just never came up again even though he apologized for the cheating so that was weird. like it's hard to ignore the gender dynamics of a younger woman married to a man against her will and I think he was overall very respectful but he at one point is upset that jc got a choice in his wife and wwx himself didn't, which would be fine except again his wife is WEN QING and it's hard to believe she willingly chose to marry him so it just sounds like he doesn't give a shit about women in the same situation even tho I'm sure in this setting it was mutual. somehow. also why are he and wq not besties 🥺

anyway I feel like qs was easy to side against bc wwx was so miserable bc of her so it felt like the reader was primed to dislike her. and I obviously don't want to downplay the homophobia wwx experienced in his unhappy het marriage but it felt very focused on the men in ways I did find misogynistic but since it's a story that focuses so closely on wwx and lwj I think that's hard to avoid? idk. there could have been another female character in it. I guess

also the drunk sex scene...he's not really coordinated but he's thinking pretty clearly so I felt okay about it but also??? why did they do that???

also later they have the little 'oh hehe you can do whatever you want to me' but besides that first sex scene there was nothing of even dubious consent

Can't believe I'm getting back into the Markiplier Cinematic Universe (MCU)

Alright so, idea.

- a theoretical video taking place after ISWM

- same first person, choose-your-own-adventure style

- it's a horror based series that starts w/ y/n (the viewer) and mark getting lost in the woods

- shit progressively gets creepier and more horror-y the longer it goes on

- jumpscares, creepy atmosphere, lighthearted and at times series tones

- has a cast of wacky characters, y'know what we've seen before from markiplier's productions

- like Heist, it would have multiple endings, but unlike Heist, and like In Space there would ultimately be only one "true" ending

-may be only one way to get to this true ending

- ideally: it would be filmed in the same live action first-person as before except for when you get to the "true" ending

- when you click on the video for that the style changes to the one of DAMIEN

- and y/n /the viewer find yourself stepping out onto a very familiar area

- like, it clearly looks like the place from DAMIEN except...something's off about it

- you can't quite put your finger on it, but hadn't everything started to melt at the end of DAMIEN?

- "the transition to spring" as mark put it in his "WHY KILLED MARKIPLIER" video?

- everything had started to melt, yet everything's frozen again

- cue a confrontation with the Actor when we see a figure standing in the middle of the frozen lake

- axe in hand (remember this started out as a horror story) we go to take a look

- and some dialogue: actor talking about how much fun it's been to have someone to play with! And how he's made all these wonderful adventures for you to play a role in! And, "isn't this better than being stuck behind that old, cracked, mirror?"

- for context: i firmly believe the viewer's character from WKM (y/n DA) is the same one we play in ADWM, AHWM, & ISWM

- to me, it makes the most sense that they are all the same character as well as being my personal headcannon

- steadily, as we have this confrontation with the AssholeActor, we can hear the ice start to groan and creak, cracks appearing in it

- but not naturally; it doesn't look like ice actually cracking the way it's supposed to

- more like the cracks are slowly appearing on the ice all at once, like an illusion slowly fading away to reveal what it was covering up

- and periodically, as the conversation goes on, we find ourselves looking down at the ice, a strange green glow coming deep from its depths

- a glow that seems to get brighter every time we look down

- and is that...the silouhette of a figure?

- the conversation comes to head: and we throw the axe at actor

- he disppears from view then reappears as the axe gets buried in the ice behind him

- he laughs at our, "pitiful attempt" (his words) and mocks us

- the Actor says a choice few words before leaving; something omnious, unsettling, and probably condescending knowing him

Two ideas for the way the scene could go from here:

- once actor leaves we hear a loud groan from the ice beneath our feet

- looking down, the green glow is at its brightest and the cracks are spreading while the silouhette seems a bit clearer, yet still just a vague silouhette

- you run, foregoing the axe (or maybe you don't?) But either way you end up trying to run back the way you came before the ice breaks

- while looking around wildly, perhaps for a safer path, or merely as you run by, you see a figure watching on one end of the shore

- who it is is unclear; their outfit seemingly blends in with the snow, but you run toward them just as the ice begins to give way beneath your feet

Alternatively:

- when actor leaves, you are merely left alone

- with a sigh, you walk over to where the axe has imbedded itself in the ice

- and you tear it out (woops)

- the ice groans as cracks spiral out from where the axe was

- you turn, axe in hand, and frantically back the way you came

- if you pause the video at the right moment you can see a figure in white to your left

- you look down periodcally as you run, the green glow getting brighter, and the visage of a silouhette becoming apparent

- but you don't make it and the ice breaks beneath you sending you into the water's depths

(Maybe you saw the figure and started to run towards them, hand reaching out, maybe you didn't)

- as you sink into the depths, ice cold water weighing down your limbs

- you see the lake above you, frozen but covered in cracks, a small opening where you fell in

- for moment the screen glitches and instead of the lake you see the mirror, the mirror you were trapped in

- the mirror you are still trapped in

- the water around you gets darker as everything fades to black

Ultimately, the point would be to confirm who the viewer is (as in whether or not the viewer from WKM, Heist, and In Space are all the same or different) and to show that we are still- technically- in the mirror. In the mirror that is in the house where everything in the Markiplier Cinematic Universe technically takes place.

Recently I've combed through Markiplier's explanation videos for his series. In Damien he mentions how the Viewer is stuck just watching things unfold; they aren't a part of any of it and they can't change any of it.

It occurs to me he may have simply been refering to Damien & Wilford "MOTHERLOVING" Warfstache, as those videos are something we can only watch and that his statement doesn't count for the choose-your-own-adventure videos. But I cannot say for sure.

Regardless, if that is the case, then I imagine it wouldn't be hard for Actor to periodically take us out of the mirror for an adventure or two then plop us back. Or maybe we never leave it and are simply given more wiggle room for what can be done inside of the mirror.

The House is literally its own character where some asshole in a robe can make his own stories and has permanently trapped everyone from the party in it. Wouldn't be surprised if he could manipulate things to allow the viewer a little bit of "freedom" so he can put us in his stories.

Anyway, yeah. Sorry if this seemed disjointed in any way. I'm honestly not the best at translating my thoughts to text.

Who knows, maybe I'll decide to write this as a fic someday.

[enzombie]

Hi, it's the Enzaine anon. Just wanted to say thank you for the sketch, I really love your art, especially Enzo’s little heart on his hat! To elaborate I started watching at the start of season 4 for some reason & didn’t know the characters, I think it was when Enzo goes to the church & sees Blaine singing my dumbass went hold up? This guy just fell in love with the stressed-out restaurant guy? Looking back NOW I think that was him realizing oh we can use these zealots for our Plans, but at the

ENZAINE ANON!!! Thank you and sorry it wasn't a full sketch cus I've had trouble w my art recently but glad you liked it :p

This however is incredible. I'm just imagining you watching it and eventually being like "hang on a damn second......." because it's literally that scene in the church, Enzo swings by Romero's to say bonjour, kills Blaine's dad and that's it Enzo's fucked off to be America's Next Top Terrorist. Can't imagine how baffling that must have been for you, but it's very funny to me tho sorry. I also like how Blaine was 'stressed-out restaurant guy' and I'm trying to think if there's a point in season 4 where they bring up the child murdering and whether it was obvious enough to inform someone who didn't know about seasons 1-3 about what happened or just confusing and like "child-murderer" was just a fun inside-joke nickname for a local normal and regular restaurant owner.

I'm glad you agree they'd make eachother worse and it'd be Funny. You're right about the comedy of Liv n co as well. Livs like "aw Blaine found someone :) maybe now he'll finally be able to settle down and- Oh No He's Worse"

And actually you're right that's equally as good - Blaine's lying on the couch being a Depressed Princess™ talking about his dad and Enzo's in the background sharpening a knife like "...and he said what to you?" also this fits nicely into my firmly held belief that Enzo was on a mission to rid Seattle of it's abusive father's and therefore did nothing wrong ever.

As for who I ship with Enzo, you may have one of my favourite gifs I've ever made:

Because while I've got this whole thing of "obsessed with the same guy from the same show for multiple years after said show has ended" going: I like to think I've succeeded at least a little in presenting myself as slightly sane and this information will contradict that entirely although it's probably pretty obvious but I hope not

And no one ever feel bad for invading my ask box because I LOVE a good excuse to monologue💁 also I don't have enough ppl to talk about izombie with so go off

[messysketchyobeyme]

I love how insecure Lucifer can be when it comes to the other love interests, especially how he has evolved from being insecure of his brothers to Diavolo when he became datable.

Unlike characters like Mammon or Leviathan, who are pretty open about how they are insecure or how they get upset whenever MC does something romatic with the other love interests, Lucifer tends to quell his own anxieties by acting as though MC knows that he's the only one for him.

You see it in a lot of events, especially the ones where they have to compete over the MC, but it does pop up in the main story, too. The first thing that comes to mind is the last valentine's event, where Lucifer was all like "I know you best, MC, so of course you're going to choose my chocolate/me blah blah blah." Or in the wedding event where he's the only one who doesn't do an over the top proposal because all you need is ❤love❤ or something like that.

I mean, I don't believe all of it is a facade. Lucifer's the Avatar of Pride: his confidence does come from somewhere lol. However, I find it fascinating where bits and pieces of his own insecurities peak out through off-handed remarks or private yearnings.

One of the first instances we see this is in Lesson 22-C, where if you ask Lucifer to hug you, he asks if there was any time in the human realm when you thought about just him. He specifically states that he doesn't think he could handle if you thought about his brothers or anything of that nature.

It's such a nice moment of Lucifer conveying genuine vunerability that it's one of the stories that I constantly replay lol and totally not because of the whole master thing

As Season 2 goes on, I feel like Lucifer does start to accept that his brothers all value the MC, as well, and he seems less upset by that fact. I can't recall if there is a specific moment in Season 2 that made him realize this, but it's probably just from watching the various instances of the MC and the brothers supporting and loving each other. Like how the MC also chips in and gives Beel some of their life candle thing or how MC and the brothers were worried about Lucifer after he lost his memory and whatnot. Things like that!!

Either way, it becomes clear that Lucifer is no longer insecure of his brothers in Season 3, but, uh oh, a new contender comes into play. Lucifer's and Diavolo's relationship is...complicated to say the least, but it's obvious that they care for each other. Lucifer is Diavolo's right hand man, and supports everything he says/does (unless it's stupid lol).

However, when Lucifer overhears Diavolo's attempted confession to the MC in Lesson 48-18 (before he gets cockblocked rip demon prince), Lucifer acts super distant and even Mammon comments that he seems irritated. Juxposed with that flashback scene of the confession, it's obvious that Lucifer is actually super upset, but he doesn't bring it up to the MC or anyone really.

In Hard Mode Lesson 50-16, Diavolo forces Lucifer to talk by directly confronting him about that night. He states that he hasn't said anything because Diavolo is entitled to his own feelings. It isn't Lucifer's place to say what he can or cannot feel. Then, Lucifer says that he is entitled to his own feelings, as well, but he specifically mentions how the same is true for his brothers.

And I just find it fascinating how Lucifer is now no longer insecure of his own brothers' feelings toward the MC, and how he's actually fine with it. However, Diavolo is still fair game. Not only is he the only one who can challenge Lucifer's authority, but, as stated earlier in the lesson, not considered to be part of the family. I wouldn't say that Lucifer feels 'threatened' by Diavolo's feelings because as he said before, it's 1) none of his business and 2) MC's choice of who they wanna get with. However, Lucifer does seem upset by the fact that now Diavolo likes the MC and that MC may like Diavolo back, just like he was upset that MC might of thought of someone other than him while they were in the human world in between Seasons 1 and 2.

Right now, I don't think there are any moments of Lucifer being insecure of any of the love interests in Season 4, but maybe that might change. Or maybe not. I don't know.

Anyway, this entire post is a long and convulated way to say how much I loved this moment in the Leisure Land event. In Lesson 2-10, if you choose to stay with Lucifer instead of going to the stall with Diavolo, he says this:

Which is like!!! The fact that he has to ask if MC is sure of their choice is 👀 Sure does reek of some sort of insecurity to me. Of course, Lucifer immediately says nvm and changes the subject, but I love the little tidbits we get into Lucifer's psyche. Even if it is through a vacation event aha.

You shuffle through the hallways of the historic building. The walls are decorated with paintings and engravings. Students walking in various directions making the hallway crowded and hard to get through. Every now and then, students would stop to talk to friends or professors. This halts the moving traffic, causing jams and irritated groans from other students. The satisfaction sets in when you glance down at the time and notice it’s nine fifty-seven. In three minutes, you’ll be officially late to class.

The other classes you take bore you- making it hard to stay focused. They are the generic first-year classes that everybody dreads. You always end up doodling or drifting in and out of sleep throughout the period- but this class? This is the only class that excites you.

World History with Professor Barnes.

You wake up extra early in the morning to get ready for his class. You put a little more effort into your appearance than the other classes. The thought of the professors and students seeing you in sweats and hoodie didn’t bother you. Professor Barnes’s class on the other hand- you made sure you looked put together. His lecture has you wanting to wear the shortest sundresses with little to nothing underneath them.

Being late to Professor Barnes’s class is frowned upon and requires immediate attention when it becomes excessive. The immediate attention was an after-hours meeting with Professor Barnes to discuss what could possibly be more important than his lecture.

The first time you showed up late, happened to be the first day of class. When you rushed into the lecture hall, your heart nearly stopped by the man in front of you. Brunette hair’s swept back, piercing blue eyes, and a button-up that looked a size too small- showing off his bulging biceps. The fitted navy-blue button-up was rolled up to his elbows and a few buttons were undone. His biceps on full display through the material- showing off the vibranium. You swallowed hard as he began to scold you in front of the entire hall.

“I do not tolerate tardiness. Enough tardies require a private meeting after hours.” His light blue eyes never broke contact with yours, darkening with lust the longer he looks at you- taking you all in.

It was almost as if he was telling you to be late. There is a faint heartbeat between your legs, you cross them in fear he could hear the throbbing from where he stands. You began to daydream about the warm metal wrapped around your throat, while his other fingers were buried inside you. Or the prints that would be left against the flesh of your ass. You nod slowly with the most innocent eyes.

“I’m so sorry, Professor Barnes. I had gotten lost. It will never happen again.” You say innocently, playing up the role- even going as far as pouting your lips.

Bucky’s cock twitched at the sight of your puffed-out lips. Begging to be made an example out of you in front of the class. You smile back at him, patiently waiting to be excused to your seat.

“Make sure it doesn’t happen again, Ms?”

“Y/L/N.” You purr.

“You may find a seat Ms. Y/L/N.”

He looks are you properly, eyeing you up and down. His eyes fixated on your hips, swaying side to side as you walk up the steps, your skirt flapping up behind you- teasing him. Bucky knew you were going to be trouble this semester- and trouble is exactly what you had been for the last month.

You did everything in your power to get him to keep you after class. Bucky is getting more and more fed up with you- acting so innocent. He knew damn well that you want nothing more than to have your pretty little mouth stuffed with his cock- gagging and gasping for breath.

He hates that you are pretending like you had no idea the amount of frustration you are causing him. The amount of self-control Bucky exhibits is astounding. Especially on the days, you come in wearing close to nothing- claiming it was ‘just too hot outside’ or when you sit in the front row with a lollipop in your mouth, exaggerating the moans as you suck the red hard candy.

-

You straighten out the wrinkles out of the floral baby blue sundress, before turning the knob on the door.

“Ms. Y/L/N. You’re late- again.” Professor Barnes states sternly, not bothering to look at you.

Bucky caught a glimpse out of the side of his eye- you were wearing his favorite dress and knew he couldn’t look at you in the eye without taking you right there.

This is Bucky’s favorite dress. He loves the way it holds your breasts higher and how it hangs over the curve of your ass so nicely.

How much prettier would the dress look across his lap.

Bucky can’t take his eyes off of you when you walk and the dress flows with every step- sometimes a little too much. This grants him a sneak peek of your favorite lacey white panties- or sometimes the lack thereof. He stiffens at the sight of the fabric covering your pretty little cunt, taunting him.

For the past month, all Bucky could think about is that cunt. How tight you’d be around him- hearing you whimper and whine when he finally enters you, stretching you out to fit perfectly. He wonders if you could take him all at once or if he needs to warm you up with his fingers- but the thing he thought about the most: how sweet you must taste. The question alone could get him off.

How desperately he wants a taste of you.

“Mr. Barnes I am sorry-“ You begin to play into your act before he cut you off,

“Find your seat.” He still not bothering to look at you.

Disappointment floods your face from the lack of attention. In an effort for payback, you sit in the first row already pouting. He began the lecture by discussing the homework he had assigned the night before. You reach into your bag, pulling out the folder.

Expecting you to be in your usual spot in the back of the lecture hall, Bucky clenches his jaw at the sight of you sitting with your legs crossed shut in the front row, with your elbows on the small desk and hands cupping your face in boredom. His cock began to stir. Your breasts press together against the thin fabric- that is working extra hard to keep your breasts from being on display for everyone.

You see the frustration written on his face the moment he finally looks at you. You smirk at the successful payback.

The class goes on, but the material bores you. You begin to stare at Professor Barnes. You could hear the small adjustments from the vibranium as he moves about the lecture hall. Your breath hitches when he rolls his sleeves up. His biceps bulging against the fabric, a faint throbbing begins between your legs. You bite the inside of your cheek holding back a whimper. You squirm in your seat, uncrossing your legs to press them together to relieve some pressure.

The sinful thought begins to overtake your mind, only making the throbbing worse by the added arousal pooling against the lace. Checking each side of you, you look to see if there are any other students close enough to you that were about to witness this risky act. There are students staggered behind you, but only a couple dare to sit in the first rows. They are intently listening to their professor- who has his attention on the chalkboard.

You swallow a lump, attempting to steady your breathing. You slip your hand below the desk, resting it on your upper thigh. With one more quick scan of the room, you slip your hand underneath your dress.

You inhale sharply at the contact with your aching cunt. The slow circles you draw over your lacey panties release a wave of pleasure. Your lips part and your eyes flutter. The idea of someone catching you- the idea of him catching you? Made the arousal seep through the material getting on your fingers. You close your eyes dreaming about how Bucky’s fingers would dip between your folds, collecting the arousal and forcing you to taste yourself. You could imagine the pornographic scene play out in your mind, the heavy panting and degrading remarks- your fingers slip inside the thin fragile material. The satisfaction of making direct contact with the bundle of nerves makes it almost impossible to bit back any moans. Instead, you let out silent breaths.

Your imagination continues with his fingers going back between the folds, teasing the entrance- making you whine. Bucky’s other hand groping your breasts harshly. The focus is solely on the clit that throws you hurtling toward your orgasm. You brace yourself for the pleasurable release.

Bucky turns around to flip the page of the textbook when he sees it- sees your legs parted with your middle and ring finger rubbing circles over your clit. He holds his breath, not believing the whore in front of him. Your pants becoming faster and heavier. The pleasure begins to boil over, sending you over the edge. You remove your fingers covering your mouth to muffle the whimpers.

When you come down enough to open your eyes, your heart drops to the bottom of your stomach. Red flushing your cheeks and your chest tightens- you have been caught. His jaw hung open in disbelief at what he just witnessed. This is the final straw, touching yourself in class? Cumming in class- in front of him. There is no hiding the growing bulge in his pants.

Bucky slams shut the textbook, The other students sit in confusion at the sudden outburst from their Professor.

“Make sure you read the rest of the chapter. Class dismissed.” He almost growls.

Bucky takes cover at his desk, covering any evidence of an erection. He pulls a random stack of papers to distract himself from the bulge in his pants.

You hurry to pack away your things- you know that you are in a world of trouble and wish to leave the room as fast as possible.

You pull the bag over your shoulder and head straight for the door, not making eye contact with anyone.

“Ms. Y/L/N. Stay.” His voice booming in the near-empty room.

You freeze in your tracks, holding your breath. You turn around to face the furious man seated behind the desk. The one man that now held all the power to expel you. You feel small and weak the closer you get to his desk. He waits till the last student leaves the room.

“Yes, Professor Barnes?” Anxiety begins to stir in the pit of your stomach.

“We need to discuss your behavior. Follow me.” The demand making you shiver.

Your legs wobble as you follow him to the room just off the lecture hall. It is his office. It is bigger than you have imagined it. The smell of oak and cigars filling your lungs the moment you enter. His dark mahogany desk is the focal point of the room. The walls are decorated with artwork he had collected over the years. The dark brown curtains are pulled shut. The only light source being the two standing lamps on reside on each side of his bookshelf. Knick-knacks covering the surfaces of the shelves and desk.

“Sit.” His voice is stern laced with lust.

The restricting fabric of the briefs and pants makes the bulge painful. You sit in the chair in front of his desk with your ankles crossed and hands in your lap.

“First, you’re late to my class.” He is stalks around you- like your prey. His arms crossed tightly against his chest.

“Then, you wear this provocative dress.” Bucky’s fingers glide up your arm, grazing over the thin strap on your shoulder. His touch burning your skin.

“Then, you proceed to touch yourself in the middle of my lecture- cumming all over yourself like a disgusting little whore.” His words starting up the throbbing.

Bucky leans against the edge of the desk and your eyes are fixated on your lap- not daring to make eye contact.

“I have every right to expel you,” You inhale preparing yourself.

“-but I’m not going to.” Your eyes shoot up meeting his.

They’re filled to the brim with lust and desire. You gain a boost of confidence soars through you with the knowledge that you aren’t getting expelled.

He tilts your chin up to him, getting a better look at you. Using your chin to turn your face to each side- examining the mouth that will soon be full of him.

Bucky runs his thumb over your bottom lip, pulling at it- parting your lips. You push your head forward, taking his thumb in your mouth- closing your lips around him. You hum, innocently locking eyes with him.

You had no idea what you just started.

A devilish grin tugs on the corners of his mouth at the sight of you taking his thumb. You hallow your cheeks, sucking gently.

“What a good little slut.” He purrs. Bucky removes his thumb and stands.

“But, you’re not getting off that easily. Come.”

You stand to your feet moving to stand in front of him. The throbbing increases between your thighs and the arousal seeping through your panties. Bucky looks down at you touching your shoulder and neck. He finally rests his hand on your cheek, rubbing the flesh gently. You swallow, tensing and untensing your jaw. Bucky sense your nerves,

“It’s okay, princess- you’ll only be a little sore.” Your heart skips a beat.

Your panties are now drenched in your wetness and you swear he could hear the throbbing. You dreamt for this day. He pulls your lips to his. Finally meeting yours. It is slow and passionate; you didn’t know if you could touch him- but he has his hands holding the sides of your face.

“On your knees.” His voice is low and dark.

You drop to your knees. You’re now eye to eye with his bulge. The hardened cock makes your mouth water. You lick your lips, looking at him before you reach for his belt. He nods granting you permission. The belt is undone along with the button of his dress pants. Your slow movements have Bucky in a trance. His eyes don’t leave you.

You tug the pants down, his length still trapped behind the black briefs. You feel his length and hear a low groan escapes his mouth. You place small pecks on top of the clothed member. You are salivating with every kiss, growing more eager. The underwear is pulled down, freeing the aggravated cock. It’s red and looks like it is going to burst within seconds. The girth and length surprises you and you begin to wonder if you can even fit him inside you- let alone your mouth. Nerves build within you and hesitantly look up at Professor Bucky.

“I don’t know if it will fit,” Your voice is quiet, he chuckles and lifts your chin once more.

“Make it fit.” His voice is just above a whisper, but dark and stern.

At that moment you realize that this wasn’t going to be a quick punishment. He is going to make you wish you never wore short dresses, late to his class, or cum in front of him. Bucky licks his lips in awe of how beautiful you looked kneeling in front of him. All the fantasies are about to come true.

You take his length in your small hands; you use both hands to warm him up- slowly building him up. The strokes begin slow and sloppy. Your thumb going over his tip. It’s angry and swollen, it’s begging to be drained. You rub small circles around it- mimicking your movements from earlier. Bucky’s breathing becomes slow pants. The pleasure building with each stroke.

You mentally prepare yourself, collecting all the saliva you could to the front of your mouth. You flicker your eyes up, the grin that grows on his face as you close your lips around his tip encourages you. His fingers tangle in your hair, gripping the strands at the root.

“Yes, take my cock in your mouth you filthy slut.” You hum around him.

He begins to slowly push your head closer to his pelvis, forcing you to take more of him. You were only halfway down his shaft when you gripped his thighs for support. Your ankles are crossed behind you and you are leaning back sitting on your feet.

Bucky didn’t care about staying silent. His low grunts and heavy pants left his lips as he grips your hair. The pure bliss he is experiencing is unlike anyone he’s had before. Based on your performance, he knew that you have had experience before. The thought of other men in your mouth drove him insane. His grip on your hair guides your mouth up and down his cock. He became more aggressive with his grip, quickening his pace.

“I just know you’ve been dreaming about my cock filling your mouth, hm? You’re such a stupid slut- wanting to suck your professor’s cock,” He moans.

You’re gagging on his length, trying your hardest to keep from pulling off of him. You hallow your cheeks adding extra pleasure and using one hand to pump the length while he guides your head. The longer you’re taking him in your mouth the less air you’re getting, the veins in your neck become prominent. You dig your nails into his thigh. Bucky hisses at the feeling of your nails sinking into his skin.

“That’s right, princess. You feel so good around my cock,” He purrs watching the tears forming from in the corners of your eyes.

You can’t take anymore without feeling like you were going to choke. Bucky feels the resistance of you attempting to pull off of him. He pushes your head fully down his length, causing a pornographic moan to leave his lips. Bucky yanks the roots of your hair, ripping you off his length. You gasp for air and cough at the sudden ability to breathe. Saliva coats your lips and his thighs.

“You better finish what you started.” Bucky hisses,

You nod wiping your mouth. This time around, he has precum oozing from his tip. You gather it with your thumb and coat the rest of his length, using it as lubrication. You take him once more, this time using both hands and your mouth. The combo is enough to send Bucky into orbit, but when you start sucking his tip and swirling your tongue around it- he knew it would be a matter of seconds before he would release his load.

“You taste so good, Professor.” You hum against his tip, your movements become faster- not bothering with a slow build.

Bucky grips the edge of the desk, you hear the vibranium cracking through the wood. The sound only eggs you on. The sounds of your slurping and moans, cause Bucky to twitch inside your mouth- signaling he is gonna cum at any moment.

Within seconds your mouth is filled with strings of cum. Bucky’s hips buck as your mouth continues to suck him off. The taste of him has become addicting, you want every last drop of him. You pull off of him, wiping up the spilled cum on your chin. Sucking it off of your finger.

“Shit, princess. You did so well finishing every drop.” He pulls you up from your knees.

“-but that doesn’t mean you’re done. You still need to be punished for your behavior in class. Do you understand?” You nod.

Bucky walks behind his desk. You follow, nervous about what your punishment will be.

“You’ve been a bad girl, Y/N. Bend over.” You do as you say.

Your breast smush against the dark wood, your eyes fixated on the photographs of him with family and friends. You smirk to yourself and look back at him. Bucky’s fingers trail up the backs of your thighs. He lifts the pretty blue sundress, finally seeing that perfect ass up close. Bucky’s cock throbs again when he sees that the underwear you’re wearing the cheeky white lace. So innocent, he thought. Bucky runs his palm over the meaty flesh, gripping and jiggling it. He moans at its effortless movement.

“Fuck!” You yelp, his palm makes contact with your ass cheek.

“I told you, princess. You need to be punished. Count them.” Another rough smack.

“Two.” The tears returning to your eyes, but the pleasure overpowers the pain.

You arch your back, wiggling your ass higher in the air, this time, he is able to get a sneak peek of the covered cunt that lived in his mind.

“Three,” This time, your eyes roll back and you’re seeing stars.

Bucky takes notice of just how soaked you are. He pulls the lace with his metal fingers, tearing through them in an effortless tug. The strings of arousal follow the fabric as it is thrown to the ground.

“Oh? You like getting punished? You soaked through your panties. You really are a fucking whore.” He runs his middle finger down your center, your body twitches once he reaches your swollen and needy clit. Bucky kneels, coming face to face with the glistening beauty. His dream is coming to a reality, he is finally going to taste you.

His tongue dips between your folds, causing you to gasp at the unexpected pleasure. Your ass is still in the air and his hands are gripping your inner thigh, pulling them apart, allowing more access to your sopping cunt.

“Just like I imagined it, so fucking sweet.” He is breathless, the taste of you becomes his new favorite flavor.

Bucky’s tongue licks up the access arousal and his thumb rubs small circles around your clit, making you whine against his desk. His mouth begins to place open mouth kisses against you, his tongue dipping inside you. You need something to grip and release the pent-up pleasure but result to releasing through you moans and whines. It is music to Bucky’s ears.

He pulls away from your dripping cunt, kicking your legs open, spreading them- giving him the best access he could get. His mouth returns to you. But this time giving full attention to your clit.

“I’m too big for your hole, princes. I have to stretch you out.” You whine, as his middle and ring finger slide inside you.

You’re a whimpering mess on his desk as his mouth and fingers switched places. His fingers stretching you out and his mouth on your clit. Bucky moans into you at the feeling of your pussy pulsating against his fingers. You are in pure bliss as he pumps his fingers, occasionally curling- hitting the spongey flesh of your g-spot. He swirls his tongue around your clit, sucking on it and releasing it with a pop. You feel yourself hurdling towards your orgasm. The pulsating becomes quicker, and the moans are now endless streams. Bucky knew you’re close to cumming around his fingers, but you had already came today. He removes his fingers and mouth in one swoop, leaving you breathless and irritated.

“You already came today; only well-behaved whores get to cum.”

You stare back at him in anger. Your cheeks are flushed red and you’re panting like you just ran a marathon. He takes amusement at the sight of you looking like a mess.

“Professor, please! I’ve been a good girl!” You whine, wiggling your ass backwards.

“I’ll think about it. It depends on how well you take this cock, princess.” You nod your head, bracing yourself.

Bucky pumps himself a few times before he slides his tip against your cunt. You dreamed of the moment you would feel him inside you. Him sliding into you and filling you up. The need and desire overtaking you and bucking your hips into his cock.

“I said to be good.” A more aggressive smack lands on your ass, this time he used the vibranium. You yelp in pain, knowing there is going to be a handprint on your ass. Branding you.

You gasp at the sudden fullness.

“I was going to be gentle, since you are not used to a cock as big as me, but since you want to be an inpatient slut- now I’m not going too.” Bucky rams his cock into you, giving you no time to adjust to his size.

He grunts at the sound of your whines and whimpers. He grips your hips using it to increase his speed. The purple and red marks form, where his fingers dig into you. Bucky groans at how tight you feel around him. The resistance from your walls getting him closer and closer.

Bucky continues at his pace while, but this time gripping the back of your neck. He tugs you back, lifting you. Your hands palm down on the desk, using it as stability. One of his hands pins your hands behind your back. Bucky pulls you back, flushing your bodies together. His fingers wrap around your neck. Your head falls back against his shoulder moaning at the sensation of his fingers around your throat. Bucky’s rhythm doesn’t slow down now that you’re standing. Your legs are still wide allowing him to go deep and hard.

“You’re such a dirty fucking slut, you know that?” You couldn’t even think.

You have entered another world. Your hands are still pinned behind you and your eyes are rolling back from the feeling of his other. All you could do is moan and sink into his cock.

“Fucking yourself in front of the class and cumming all over yourself- you fucking loved the idea of getting caught huh? I bet you would love someone to walk through that door and catch me fucking your sweet cunt.”

His words only push you further into nirvana. Your legs begin to feel weak, and the responsibility of standing is becoming too much. Bucky notices the sudden inability to stand.

“You gonna cum, princess?” You are barely able to function. You moan in response and he thrusts quicken- if that is even possible.

“Cum, princess. Cum around my cock,”

You see stars as a wave of pleasure washes overtakes you and you feel pure ecstasy. Your cunt contracts around his cock, sending Bucky over the edge. His cock pulsating and shoot loads of cum inside you, filling you once more.

“Fuck!” He moans one last time.

He collapses on top of you. Your hands catching your bodies as you lay pressed against his desk once again. Bucky pulls himself out of you, leaking with cum. You whimper at the sudden loss of fullness.

Your legs felt weak and standing on your own seemed like an impossible task. You are trying to catch your breath. The high cooling off and you regain the ability to talk.

You push yourself up, feeling the cum run onto your inner thigh. Bucky grabs a handful of tissues, wiping away the cum. He helps you sit down on his chair. Your breathing finally slows and the adrenaline wears off. You begin to feel the aftermath of every mark and muscle. You groan as you try to move from the seat.

Bucky walks over to you handing you a bottle of water and switches places with you, so you are now on his lap.

“I told you would be a little sore,” He chuckles, placing a kiss on your temple.
