This is the house from HGTVs "The Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge," but as soon as the show wrapped they changed it. “The investors thought it would have higher resale value being a modern, beautiful, newly renovated home,” said the real estate agent, “They obviously weren’t going for the serious Barbie fans.” I'm a Barbie collector and there are lots of us. Someone would've bought it. Here are the befores and afters.

This is what it looks like now, and priced at $2,049,995 it just sold for $1.845M. I am so disappointed. Built in 1997, the 5bd, 5ba home is located in Canyon Country, California. HGTV looked at about 50 houses and finally bought this one for $1.750M. Each designer star team did a room and the team of  Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt of “100 Day Dream Home” won. When I was looking for before pics, a lot of the sites were no longer available- they didn't want us Barbie people to see the befores, I bet.

The family room before. I don't really care for the retro look.

Family room after. But, I don't like this white, either.

In the living room, the major features that the designers installed remain, like the two-story fireplace and the updated circular staircase. Everything else was changed to neutral gray, black & white.

The dining room. Man, they must've used an awful lot of white paint to cover up the deep colors.

The ’50s kitchen was stripped of the pastels and replaced with neutrals, but the retro Big Chill appliances—refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, stove, even the hood—are still in place, b/c they're very expensive. And, the pop-up appliance lifts on the island are still in place, too.

Ken's den wasn't changed much b/c it was cool, but they did remove the disco floor. Allison Victoria & Ty Pennington dancing on the disco floor.

Looks like they turned the walk-in closet/dressing room into an office.

It already had an office, so now it has two. Wow, they left the striped ceiling intact.

The new dull bedroom.

And, home gym.

The realtor wanted to buy the big brush on the wall, but was told that all the props had to go back to Mattel Toys.

And, finally, the pool. Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt won for their design on the pool and yard. Well, I see they kept the pink spiral stairs, yellow lifesaver and umbrella.

The dog elevator went back to Mattel, too.

Hello! Soo I was wondering if I could request a RemusxReader oneshot/blurb with this scenario. Hear me out:

Reader openly talking to the girls about her crush on Remus she as had for years and just being so casual talking about how much she likes him and thinks he's amazing and hot, and how much she loves him (practically me simping for Rem) and she isn't embarrassed cuz she's known Lily and Marlene for years and they're used to talk like that and tease each other kindly (they usually do it to Lily). But they don't know that Remus and the boys are "accidentally" listening to their conversation.

Lmk what you think! Thankyou ly, byebye <3

contents : fluff, the marauders being nosy af and eavesdropping, bad writing and not proofread :(

a/n : hello anon!!! ty so so much for the request and im so so sorry for taking so long in writing it. but hey i am here and im at your service ;) i rly hope u like this and it fulfilled what you asked for ☁️☁️

　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

"[y/n] are you free tonight? or does loverboy has to take you away before midnight?" marlene said, linking your arms together as you two walked inside the common room.

"yes... why?"

"charms."

"charms?"

"assignment."

"oh-"

"yes."

"charms assignment that you need me to help you with?"

"obviously,"

"ah fine," you eyes slowly averted to the smile of none other that remus lupin. your mind goes fuzzy all of a sudden. he was joking and laughing with james in front of the fireplace. "he looks so happy today," you whispered to yourself, smiling.

"aww, you care about his happiness! just make out already," marlene said, wiggling her thick brows.

"that's one step beyond. not ethical," you shook your head in a mocking manner. "where's lily by the way? is she up here already?"

marlene shrugged as she opened the door to the dormitory, letting the warm air hit both of their faces.

later that night, you were helping marlene out on the charms essay and let's just say... it wasn't going as planned.

"marl, it's not how it is. you have to read the whole thing first then make your own summary about it so professor flitwick won't accuse you of plagiarism."

"but there's too many! why isn't there a charms to shorten paragraphs," she whined like a child on the sidewalk when their moms didn't get ice cream.

"liliana, help me over here. marl doesn't want to read,"

"i doing my eye mask, can't stand up," she reasoned stupidly.

"eye masks stick to your under eyes. yes you can stand up without them falling off. i wish remus was here, he can probably summarise four pages in just two minutes, he's incredibly smart," you closed your little tired eyes.

"if remus was here, he wont be teaching me anything, he would be too busy with you," marlene scoffed, although she is teasing.

"that's right," lily agreed. "remember this morning when [y/n] dropped mashed potatoes on his head? he didn't even blame her! he was blushing."

"also in dada, didn't you see remus was basically mumbling a mantra to be partnered up with [y/n], that's so sweet," marlene continued in a teasing voice, her charms assignment completely tossed of to the side.

you think to yourself, a conversation about remus late at night is way more interesting than charms. so you didn't budge. "aw yea he did, i saw," you cheeks turned crimson as you smile.

"isn't he just so... beautiful? i never look at anyone- except for my barbie dolls when i was five- this way. he is just right in every way."

"mhmmm keep going my love," marlene replied, after noticing a slight crack in the door with the marauders behind it. they were appalled when marlene saw them but marlene stays quiet, sending a wink their way.

at first, they were up here because james wanted to return lily's hair clip in which the boy slyly stole during class for this moment. but the others insisted to go up to see her reaction for some reason.

remus wouldn't complain though. he got to hear what the girl he loves for so much has to say bout him when he's not around.

your back was facing the door with your legs crossed over your chest and you hugging them. "his face may be pretty, but i think his heart is way prettier. for god's sake he holds my hand when i was anxious for that history presentation! he knows my needs so well."

"yes, that's so kind of him," lily urged for you to continue so she can tease you about it the next morning in front of remus lupin.

"and the best part is, remus respects women! he treats me like how i treat the girls and women around me. that's the hottest thing a guy could ever do," you dazed out, burying your face in between your kneecaps.

"ugh we love a respectful king, don't we girls!" marlene said purposely loud so remus can hear the conversation wide and clear from the door. his eyes were basically making heart eyes at the back of your head, his smile is like he had just won a contest and to hide that would be so dishonest.

"i told you to get her on a date sooner, she is the one!" sirius nudged remus rather harshly, but he was too focused on you.

"but what i don't like about him is the fact that he thinks he's not worthy of anything. he is. he deserves the biggest apology and happiness there ever was. he is like a moon river. i would roll my ship at night just to see the sparkles that he got. my huckleberry friend."

"isn't that enough to confirm that [y/n] loves you back, remus?" marlene shouted, her vision straight to the door.

your eyes widened in panic as your blood rushed into your cheeks. was remus hearing all of this? oh no freaking way- he can't be!

the door swung open, revealing the marauders who were standing with their jaws on the floor.

"i'm going out," lily spoke up, slipping out the door with james running after her like a lost puppy.

"you better do something," marlene winked at remus as she pushed him inside the room. remus nodded numbly, processing on what just happened. marlene was already dragging sirius down to give their friends privacy.

"hey, can i come in?"

"gosh i'm so sorry you heard all of that! you don't understand how embarrassing it is for me right now. i wish to disappear!" you scrunched your face, mortified by what his reactions may be.

"listen, uh, what you said were- it really makes me happy that you think of me that way because... so do i! i've been scared to say anything because i just- wasn't sure if you like me that way or not..."

"well, you heard it... what am i going to do now," you whispered the last part under your breath.

lucky for remus, he's got super hearing powers due to his lycanthropy so he heard that as clear as the sky is blue. "we can do what girlfriend and boyfriend do," remus answered shyly, playing with the end of your blanket that dropped from your bed.

"excuse me ma'am, you haven't asked me for dinner yet and now we're girlfriend and boyfriend?" you said in a joking manner to ease the tension out.

"okay let's do baby steps. come here, m'love, want to hold my girl," he opened his arms with his eyes closed. does he even know how cute he is right now?

Janthony

barbie dolls: Anthony Lockwood x you

word: 3k ish

summary: Anthony has a secret admirer who can't seem to figure out his middle name

warnings: you rude bike, also eat twizzlers bc I associate twizzlers with bikes and before you say anything no it doesn't have anything to do with Juno leave me alone, Lockwood's parents death mentioned, mentions of blowing heads off, you'll probably cringe at the one note I did write but I'm just four squirrels stacked on top of each other what more do you want from me, George and Lucy are certified haters but it's in a loving way

The first note confused him. Lockwood went out to get the mail but he paused when he reached the gate. There, tied to the pole, was a flower and a small piece of paper. He gently untied the ribbon.

Lockwood initially thought it was for George. His initials scrawled across the top of the paper made him reconsider. He read the note and realized he had just gained a secret admirer.

With that, the notes kept coming. Some had poetry describing his looks, some had a gift waiting in the mailbox, and some were just a good old-fashioned letter. All of them were signed the same.

‘Lukewarm regards,’ and then his full name was written out. His middle name was always different. It was Jacqueline, Jordan, Jack, Jason, and James, but his admirer’s favorite? Janthony. The first time he read it Lockwood had laughed. The second he chuckled. By the third time, George was calling him Janthony every time he got the chance.

George easily found out, seeing the notes and growing population of flowers in the kitchen. He saw Lockwood’s smile when he came back from getting the mail. He thought it was cute.

Lockwood wanted to respond and wanted to see you. But it was entirely impossible. He felt like he was trying to catch smoke, with the lights off and his eyes closed. Every time he would stare out the window and watch the gate, the second he left to use the bathroom when he came back there was a note waiting for him. It was entirely impossible how fast you moved. Lockwood thought it was silly that it was harder to catch his admirer than it was to catch a ghost. He started tying notes to the gate himself, in response to yours. They would disappear with a new one. You became pen pals with extra steps.

Once George asked him what he thought his admirer looked like, it was a flabby attempt at trying to see if Lockwood could be swayed by physical appearance. Lockwood had sighed and stared out the window, all dreamy. ‘it doesn't matter, they're already the most beautiful person to me.’ George gagged.

Eventually, Lucy moved in and Lockwood was still chasing his smoke. Lucy and George started conspiring who they thought it was. George said the old woman down the street. Lucy said the post-boy. With a lot of frustration boiling inside of Lockwood, he decided he would stay up all night, staring out the window. He felt like a child trying to catch the tooth fairy.

Lucy accompanied him, George saying there was no point before tucking himself into bed. So Lucy and Lockwood stayed up the whole night, staring out the window. Lockwood was more determined. Lucy would get up every once and a while to make sure they were fed. Eventually, as the hours went on, fog settled over the street, and they started losing hope. Lockwood was struggling to keep his eyes open. Lucy was still hyped up on her handful of pixie sticks she had no plans of going to sleep. She knew Lockwood wouldn't make it through the whole night. He fell asleep with his legs thrown over her lap. Lucy kept her eyes trained outside, ignoring Lockwood's snores.

Just as the sun was peaking over the horizon she saw movement out in the fog. There you came, rolling around the corner of the street on your bike. You had a sweet aura about you. Maybe it was your small smile tugging at your lips, maybe it was the twizzle sticking out the corner of your mouth, maybe it was your sweater. Whatever it was Lucy wanted to be friends with you, know your every thought, know your favorite color and drink. She wanted to look across the room to make sure you heard something and thought what she did. At first, she just assumed you were some innocent bystander, riding your bike out for fun. Then you stopped by the gate. Flicking out your kickstand with your ankle as you dismounted. Lucy's grin grew as she realized she was witnessing Lockwood's admirer while he was passed out.

You pulled out a box out of your backpack. You dropped it into the mailbox and tied a small note to the gate’s pole. As you got back on your bike, Lucy slammed her palm on the window pane. Your head shot up, making eye contact with her. Lucy gave you a bright smile, waving rapidly at you. You pressed your finger to your lips before turning back and riding your bike off into the fog.

When Lockwood finally woke up he looked out the window and slumped when he saw a note. He heard Lucy in the kitchen. Lockwood flung himself into the nearest chair.

“We missed them, again.” He muttered, defeated.

“Correction. You missed them, again. I saw them just fine.” Lockwood gaped at Lucy. George joined them looking between their faces.

“The hell happened to you two?” George asked, pouring himself orange juice.

“I saw Lockwood's admirer and he didn't because he was snoring away,” Lucy said with a proud grin. Lockwood shook his head.

“Are they hot?” George asked. Lockwood snapped his head at George.

“George.” He said in a scolding tone.

“Yes,” Lucy said with a smile.

“Lucy.” Lockwood glared at them both.

“Oh, you're just pissed you didn't get to see them yourself,” George muttered. Lockwood shrugged.

“Next question,” Lockwood muttered. Lucy clicked her tongue.

“Are you going to go get the mail?” Lucy asked. Lockwood shook his head.

“It'll just rub my failure in my face.” Lucy sighed at him, leaving to get the mail herself. She brought back the box and note among the junk mail. She gently set the box and note in front of Lockwood’s pouting face. He stared at it for a moment before sitting up. Lockwood first read the note, a disgustingly beautiful letter that made him flush. He was worried about opening the gift. It could easily be a tarantula though he doubted you'd do that. Lockwood steeled himself pulling the lid off the box.

He found a leather-bound journal, with his initials in gold paint on the front. Lockwood opened it to find your handwriting.

‘For your wild mind, Dear Anthony Janthony Lockwood.’ sealed off with a little heart next to the words. He traced over the lines with his fingertips. Lockwood flicked through the pages, maybe you left another note. He reached the back cover and slumped at nothing but the stamp from the craftsman. George stared over Lockwood's shoulder, picking up the journal himself.

“Your wild mind?” George muttered in a teasing tone. Lockwood sighed.

“I told them about how I used to journal as a kid and I just couldn't bring myself to do it anymore after my parents passed. So it's actually quite thoughtful.” Lockwood let out a loud sigh as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Oh look at that,” George muttered. Lockwood sat up, trying to look at what he was pointing at. George moved the book away from him, showing Lucy.

“Oh, hey, look at that.” She nodded approvingly before taking a sip out of her mug.

“What? What is it?” Lockwood asked, looking between them. Maybe he missed a note. George turned the book around, showing him the stamp. Lockwood shook his head, slumping again.

“It's the manufacturer, it's handmade in town.” Lockwood sighed again, ignoring George. He already knew that. “Meaning they'd have to get it done personally, a handmade custom journal done in town.” Lockwood stared out the window.

“Meaning, you could go ask the person who made this who your admirer is,” Lucy stated, trying to make it more plain for Lockwood. Lockwood paused, looking over at them. He looked back out the window.

“We have a new errand on the itinerary today.” He muttered.

They found the bookbinder easily, the logo stamped in the back of his journal. When they got inside it was small and dark but it felt warm. There were books along most of the walls and a desk in the back. Lockwood, George, and Lucy made it to the desk and waited silently. There was a small silver bell on the side, next to the register. George reached out and rang it before Lucy could stop him. While the group quietly argued over the politeness or ringing a bell, an old man's head popped out from around the corner. He was balding and looked mean. Lockwood explained to him the situation, asking who asked for the journal to be made.

“You must be Janthony. I told them I wasn't doing nothing for free. I have a card for you.” The old man pulled an envelope out from under the register and held it out to Lockwood. Lockwood thanked him and quickly ripped into it.

Paperbacks

Candle wax

Bookshelves

Reading by themselves

Books in a pile

Your next clue is held by a vampire

Lockwood pressed his lips together. It appears his one more errand has turned into two. Lockwood dragged them across town to the Library. He paused when he realized he didn't know any vampires nearby. George called him an idiot and stalked off to a bookshelf. Lockwood glanced at Lucy. She shrugged. They waited patiently as George walked over to them again, a book in his hands. He flashed the cover. Dracula. George flipped the book upside down and flipped through the pages. Another letter floated to the ground. George looked up at Lockwood with an ‘I told you so' before heading back towards the shelf.

Lockwood yanked the letter off the ground, before tearing into it. He scanned over the words quickly. The letter was taken out of his hands by Lucy.

“This one’s lamer than the last,” Lucy whispered. Lockwood glared at her, taking the letter back.

“Don’t be rude.” Lockwood folded the letter. Lucy sighed, placing her hands on her hips.

“Well glad we’re off to Satchell’s. We needed to go anyways.” Lucy muttered, just as George joined them.

“This might be a strange question, but was there something left here by someone?” The cashier stared at him blankly. They raised an eyebrow.

“Another place, I kinda wished I went and got the mail every morning,” George said, following after them.

When they did make it to Satcchell’s, they split up instantly. George and Lucy split up the list of things they needed. Lockwood busied himself by reading the back of the closest item to him. Eventually, Lucy and George returned to Lockwood with their arms full of supplies. He led them to the register, greeting the cashier as they left the products on the counter. Lockwood paid the cashier before speaking up about something that wasn’t about the weather.

“Possibly for an Anthony?” Lockwood asked. the cashier shook his head.

“No, don’t think so.” The cashier said as they bagged the items.

“Try Janthony,” George muttered, he meant it mainly as a joke but no one laughed.

“For a Janthony?” Lockwood asked, avoiding eye contact with the cashier. The cashier looked up at him.

“Yeah actually.” They reached under the countertop. They stuck out a letter to Lockwood. Lockwood recognized the handwriting on the back. Lockwood thanked the cashier, handing the bags to George and Lucy. They all headed towards the door, standing by the wall as Lockwood stared down at the letter. He smiled at the name on the back. He laughed at Janthony at first, then he hated it mostly because of George, and now he was finding it a symbol of your care. You probably thought it was a joke too, but every time he read it in your handwriting he wanted to hear it from your mouth more. The letter was passed around the three of them, George groaning. Lucy shrugged, handing the letter back to Lockwood.

“Another errand across town, why couldn’t they just tell you their name?” George complained. Lockwood pressed his lips together. He lightly smacked George in the chest with the letter.

“Well off we go, George. On an adventure, to find my caring and loving penpal who has done nothing to you.” Lockwood said, walking off in the direction of where the letter described. Lockwood heard George groan again.

“I personally found it cute Lockwood likes them so much he’s willing to travel all across the city just to maybe see them.” Lucy declared, clasping her hands behind her back with a pep in her step. George scoffed. Lockwood shook his head.

“But you see, I’ve already seen them. I know what your little lover looks like and you don't.” Lucy said the Lockwood with a mocking tone. ; Lockwood felt his face warming.

“Firstly, not my lover. We’re peculiar pen pals. Secondly, I have no opinion on their looks. I’ll love them until my last breath exits my lungs. I’ll smile at their voice until my hearing vanishes from old age. My heart will sing at their words until it pumps its last beat.” Lockwood explained, keeping his fast pace. Lucy and George stopped abruptly. Lockwood heard the lack of their steps, turning around. They stared at him.

“What?”

“How can you speak that way about them and then say you aren’t lovers?” Lucy muttered. Lockwood shook his head. George huffed.

“You’re so whipped. I'm not sure if you two actually talk I can handle it. You’ll be drooling the whole time. I’ll have to pick up your jaw to sweep under it.” he whispered, angrily. Lucy nodded.

“Truly, they’re already insufferable. Not sure if I could resist the urge to blow my head off if they kiss.” Lucy said, tossing in an eye-roll. Lockwood felt someone could cook an egg on his cheeks. Lockwood opened his mouth before closing it. he spun around, his coat adding a flare. He stalked off, hearing George and Lucy following after him. They stepped through the door of Arif’s, the bell ringing above them.

Lockwood felt anxiety pull at his stomach. He clutched the letter tighter. George pulled the letter out of his hands and stared at the side of his face.

“Why is your face doing that?” George muttered.

“I’m not sure what to do. The letter just tells me to come here, not where to find the next clue.” Lockwood said, glancing around the shop. No one was behind the counter. There was only one other person in the room, a man sitting in the back hunched over paperwork.

“Maybe we are at the last clue. Maybe they’re here, Lockwood.” Lucy muttered. “I think that's them over there.” She pointed over at the balding man in the corner. Lockwood faked a laugh.

“Please take this seriously.” He whispered. Lucy sighed, placing her hands on her hips. Geoge tutted.

“You should ring the bell, Lockwood,” George muttered. Lockwood steeled himself, marching to the counter and ringing the silver bell. A head popped out from behind the curtain that led to the back. Lucy let out a small gasp. She leaned into Lockwood’s ear.

“That’s them.” Lockwood felt his stomach drop and his heart palpate. He was looking at the kindest person he's ever talked to. He suddenly felt very real. A real human with the chance of being judged. A real person who was extremely vulnerable with someone all because he’d only ever seen their handwriting. and now he was looking into your eyes, knowing you knew more about him than both his friends standing next to him combined. He was right, though. You were the most beautiful person he’d ever seen. He felt a sense of dread wash over him, you could easily insult him right now. You could easily crawl over the countertop and strangle him. Or worse, judge him. Lockwood felt his cheeks heat as you smiled brightly at him.

“I see you’ve found me.” Lockwood felt the tension in his body release, his shoulder drop. That's what you decided to do when you first met him, smile. Lockwood felt his own smile peak at his lips.

“I did.” He muttered, glancing down at the letter in his hands. You stood across from the other side of the counter.

“Are you disappointed?” You asked. Lockwood’s head shot up, staring at you shocked.

“I could never be dissapointed by you.” You scoffed at him.

“My my you're even cheesier in person.” Lockwood laughed at you, giving you a one-shouldered shrug.

“Are you? Disappointed that is?” Lockwood asked, staring into your eyes. Lockwood noticed his friends had left, sitting at a table. They were staring at him blatantly.

“No. You’re-“ you paused. “You’re, well, Anthony Janthony Lockwood. What isn’t there to like?” Lockwood snorted at his fake middle name. He was right again, Janthony sounded much nicer falling from your lips than George’s. Lockwood jumped at the sound of the owner yelling at you. He mentioned something about not paying you to stand around. You handed Lockwood a donut. He quickly paid you.

“You know, now that we’ve met face-to-face. Would you accompany me on a date?” Lockwood avoided eye contact with you, staring at the doughnut.

“I’d love to.” Lockwood released a breath. He relaxed his shoulders.

“Oh thank god.” You laughed at Lockwood, handing him his change. He smiled at you. Lockwood felt his body heat when your fingers touched. You waved Lockwood off and walked to the table with George and Lucy pretending to gag.

“Glad you met your lover, can we go home now? I'm tired.” George asked. Lockwood nodded.

“Yes, we’re going home now.” Lucy shot up out of her chair, dashing out the door. Lockwood and George were quick to follow. When Lockwood passed the windows to Arif’s he triumphantly pumped his fist. The next morning he found the details of your date tied to his front gate in your handwriting.

[luminousdryad]

to make things brief cause I suck at organizing what I have to say, the live action was definitely Something™.

Cast: 10/10 kinda biased personally but yall can't take this from me

Gordon as Aang and Dallas as Zuko were the standouts imo. Gordon needs some direction on line delivery and the angstier scenes but overall he's very charming and I'm so proud of him for getting so much exposure!

Ian as Sokka was great, I just wish he was allowed to be more...messy? like Sokka pretends to be chill and all that but he's actually dramatic so I hope that gets improved in the next season if there is one

speaking of improvement, Kiawentiio as Katara brought out a softer side to the character but sadly diminished her spark and passion. I like that Katara now actually feels like a younger sister, it makes sense within the context of the story that Sokka and Gran Gran would shelter her after what happened, but as someone said, her anger is so central to her character and I just wish that got shown more. It's more of a script and direction problem tbh, if you look at Kia's interviews she has the sass and feistiness Katara needs

Lizzy as Azula is great, the writing is a bit clunky though so she did the best she could with it. Can't really comment on Mai and Ty Lee yet because they're kinda just there but it's a nice setup

Maria as Suki? perfection show stopping never the same she is a queen and I love the tidbit of Suki backstory which she never really had in the og show. I love her being such a loser around her crush we love to see girlfailures girlfailing. I wish the writers didn't make them KISS though 😭 slowburn ftw

the adults were great

Writing: 6.5/10

There were genuinely good moments and I love the concept of mixing up certain plot points to condense the story

But they just suffered from too much Telling instead of Showing WRITERS PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CRITICISM YOU HAVE TIME TO IMPROVE PLEASE

Omashu, mechanist, and Jet plot mixing as a concept was fine, but it dragged on and my friends and I got bored of it. I like it in theory but if it was going to take THAT long couldn't they have just separated one of those storylines for a different episode?

I appreciate that they tried to develop the water siblings' relationship by making them the stars of the Secret Tunnels, but I would've changed the way they "conquered" the problem (really? badgermoles respond to love? cute in theory but like why). If anyone's watched Barbie: A Fairy Secret there's a part where Barbie and her frenemy accuse each other of why their friendship failed, and it helps them make up and breaks the curse put on them. So that's what I would've done, force them in a life or death situation in which they have to say the unsaid things, maybe hug it out and boom

The way they handled Koh and the Spirit World was a Mess™ but the effects were decent

Zhao meeting horrible ends in every incarnation is so deserved

Yue having more agency was a welcome change AND I LOVE THAT SHE WATERBENDS. Then waterbends even when the moon is gone. It's such a nice visual nod to the fact that she has the moon spirit within her

That said, the show could definitely use more visual storytelling, less weird dialogue. Like it's so strangely common for shows or adaptations these days to exposition dump. Like they did not have to make Yue say that the ocean spirit was angry, literally just show me the dead moon fish and I'll get the idea. Then Iroh says "That's Wrath" that's just redundant now isn't it

I like that they saved Katara bringing Aang out of the Avatar State until last even if it could've been done better

HOW DARE THEY MAKE ME LIKE HAHN HE WAS A JERK IN THE SHOW BUT THEY MADE HIM A GENUINELY GOOD CHARACTER. Yes to brown men not being portrayed as jerks but also in the original it was a nice contrast to how far Sokka had come because Hahn reflected who he used to be. But live action Hahn </3

I like that they showed the deaths and blood. I wanted a live action that was both lighthearted but more realistic when it came to the injuries and death, and that'd kind of what I got

Other thoughts + overall

You can tell they put so much heart into this show, watching the bts, the bending boot camp with the correct martial arts, the easter eggs, the nods to the comics, the beautiful adaptations of Cabbage Merchant and Secret Tunnel nomads, there's so much passion behind the show it's a shame it suffered in its writing

which is why if they read reviews and criticism from the bigger name fans (TheAvatarist, HelloFutureMe, etc.) it would really help them improve for future seasons! The cast is stunning already and they have great chemistry (hopefully gets improved too!)

The live action is just a different angle to the show. And I'm saying this as an Avatar fan–the original wasn't perfect, either. I had some problems w it but the overall show was genuinely so good and heartfelt, those problems weren't glaring enough to put me off (unlike The Dragon Prince, sorry). The live action definitely wasn't perfect, but it tried to give us a new look into Avatar. Again, no adaptation will ever be a 1:1 remake and none should be. Where's the fun in that? But while the show is so full of heart and with actual fans working behind the scenes, I doubt if they listen to any criticism that they can't pull this off better next season.

“She’s Everything. He’s just Stark.” | Tony Stark

Pairing: Tony Stark x Wife!Reader

Summary: Let's see how would it be like if you and Tony saw the Barbie movie together, shall we?

Word count: 597

Warnings: Kinda crack fic so forgive me for that and it being short, banter, references of irl celebs bc I HC that they all exist in the MCU world, Tony being the ideal bf fr, reader can be either an Avenger or civilian up to your interpretation, pretend Endgame, Infinity War, and Civil War never happened, Barbie movie spoilers (don't be like those bfs who are secretly misogynists, y'all)

A/N: Came up with this idea when I was chatting with my friends on Discord and idc what y'all say, Tony would watch Barbie for his gal (and himself) even if ironically his actor is in Oppenheimer 😭

Also I always find the HC that RDJ and Tony coexisting in the MCU to be hilarious bc they're basically lookalikes of each other in my head BAHHAHDSHHFDF

“That was…”

“Amazing. I love how empowering this movie is.” Tony continued, turning away from the screen to face you with the cutest grin ever plastered on his face. 

“Barbie World'' by Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj blared itself inside the theater studio as the credits played on the silver screen. The lights had turned on and people were starting to leave now that the Barbie movie had finished showing, with you and Tony deciding to watch it not just because of the trend, but mostly because of how you really looked forward to that movie before it premiered. While people are leaving, you, your boyfriend, and some others still lingered inside to watch the credits.

You smiled back at him. “I know, right? I never expected a movie about a literal Barbie doll to be this deep, but man, Greta Gerwig did such a fantastic job!” 

He leaned in to give your cheek a kiss. “You know, babe, hearing Gloria’s monologue about women’s struggles made me even more proud of you for being a really strong woman.” he pecked your other cheek. “You’re always there for me and your loved ones, you’re never shy of fighting for your own goodness, and last but not least, being the best wife ever.” 

“Thanks, Tones.” you replied.

“You’re welcome, because I think this is the best movie experience I ever had with my girl. Me watching one of the best movies of this year with my best girl? Yes please!” he exclaimed cheerfully.

Tony Stark might be one of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, but he’s deep down just a loving man who loved his wife and cared for his friends. He had his own needs and interests, not just him being Iron Man plastered on murals or a kid’s bedroom poster. You, on the other hand, were a woman he admired so much for being an iron-willed woman who dedicated your life to make everyone feel better. After years of dating him, he finally proposed, with the two of you finally tying the knot some time later. 

“Honey?” you asked. 

“What’s up, Mrs. Stark?” 

“I think I know someone who should definitely play another Ken if there’s a sequel.” 

Tony tilted his head and slightly squinted his eyes in suspicion. “Who is it, hmm? You want Steve Rogers to be a Ken? Oh please, you know who’s the better choice.” he smirked playfully. 

“Robert Downey Jr.” you joked. 

“What? Out of everyone in this entire world, you chose someone who looks a lot like me instead of the actual me? The actual Tony Stark? How could you, baby?” he exclaimed, putting his hand on his chest in pretend shock. “Are you saying that you’re taking the ‘She’s everything, he’s just Ken’ thing seriously?” 

A lighthearted laughter escaped your mouth at the sight of your husband’s reaction. “Tony, I’m kidding, okay? Besides, why would I disrespect the man who’s literally boyfriend and husband material? These matching shirts aren’t supposed to be taken seriously! If anything, you’re way better than Ken, baby.” you gestured to the matching t-shirts you both wore. 

On your shirt, it said “She’s everything.” while Tony’s matching one said “He’s just Stark”. It was custom made thanks to the slogan being different and Tony wanted the name to be Stark instead of Ken, much to your dismay but nevertheless you thought he looked great in it. 

“Now that’s the Y/N I know and love.” 

You stood up from your seat and offered your hand to him. “Absolutely. Now let’s go, we have dinner waiting for us.”

What fans don't realize is that "what was i made for" by billie eilish is a 2018 hamato yoshi song. It fits him to perfection!!! Yoshi was depressed and traumatized to hell in back in the battle nexus. He's being exploited constantly by big mama and generally is in an awful place mentally, emotionally, and physically

I used to float, now i just fall down

Yoshi used to be happy as an actor and while he still had issues, he was overall content, especially while dating big mama. Now he resents his lack of freedom and current life

I used to know, but i'm not sure now what i was made for. What was i made for?

This is yoshi's lifelong crisis!!! He's been raised to believe that he's a hamato and needs to be engrossed in the hamato clan and a savior for the world, to deny his own ambition and joy for the sake of the clan and by extension, the globe. Yoshi then became a famous actor to fulfill himself. Then, he was forced to be a battle nexus contestant and told that he was meant to be making money and entertaining that way. One could even go on to when he was mutated and took on the role of a father to four mutants, which was way different than anything else he had been. With him being forced into positions to take on different life paths, it's unclear to yoshi what he was made for at this point because it seems that no one can agree. He's having an existential crisis, poor guy. Was yoshi born to be a hamato ninja? Was he born to be a film star? Was he born to be a trafficking victim? Was he born to be a mutant rat father? WHO KNOWS ANYMORE, not yoshi

Takin' a drive, i was an ideal. Looked so alive. Turns out i'm not real, just something you paid for

THESE LYRICS!!! ARE SO YOSHI CORE!!! He was an idol in the film industry, an a-lister, someone to admire and a beloved pop culture icon. He still is even as a battle nexus contestant. However, yoshi is dehumanized by so many around him, big mama, his fanbase (his yōkai fanbase in particular), draxum, and is literally objectified, turned into a toy for others to use to their own end, to make money off him, to bolster their own fame, to empower a mutant army. The "turns out i'm not real" lyric doubly works because yoshi's a fictional character (but that's news to him)

When did it end? All the enjoyment

The battle nexus ruined any passion he had for fighting. as an actor, it was all fake and he was treated with care, in the battle nexus, it's all too real and his life is put on the line each match

I'm sad again. Don't tell my boyfriend. It's not what he's made for. What was i made for?

Yoshi is incredibly depressed about his hardships and current positions as an abductee. He can't rely on big mama for emotional support like he used to because, well, she has literally kidnapped him and is the one gleefully inflicting pain on him. It's not what big mama's made for and yoshi realizes that now. It bums him tf out. At one point, he thought she was perfect for that, but she's way too obsessed with power and profit

The lyrics i skipped are pretty obvious, i mean, i think they're all quite clear when tying the song to yoshi's story, but to breeze through it, yoshi's basically joyless, he wants to be joyful and maybe his sons and new family can help drag him out of his pain

Funnily enough, the song "barbie dreams" by fifty fifty from the very same album as "what was i made for" suits yoshi perfectly, too (pre-battle nexus). ALSO FROM THE SAME ALBUM is "dance the night" by dua lipa, which fits him as well!!! in "dance the night" Yoshi's struggling with the stress of being an asian actor in the 80s and the stress of his family. but heyyy, look how at how he stuns on the dance floorrrr even though he wants cryyy :D the song spectrum of yoshi having a good time from great time to meh time to terrible time: barbie dreams -> dance the night -> what was i made for

School Gates

Jason wants to look just like his favourite hero for his first day of school. None other than... Aquaman?

~

“Jason, darling, are you sure—”

“I can do it.” The five year old cuts Bruce off almost immediately, tongue sticking out the corner of his mouth as his little fingers tangle in the school tie.

Bruce sighs, but hopes for the best. They’ve been practising tying Jason’s school tie all summer, in preparation for today.

"Go round the roundabout before you go through the tunnel!" Dick's eyes are wide, voice high as he darts forward to correct Jason. The younger boy steps away from him, scowling.

"I can do it!" Jason insists, twisting away from Dick. He screws up his face in concentration, eyes locked on his reflection.

"I told you—" Dick tries again

"I CAN DO IT." Jason says,loudly.

"No shouting." Bruce says from where he's been fumbling in his closet. He's trying to find something he can wear on the school run that isn't part tuxedo, part Batman.

"Jason." Dick says, in a carefully controlled not shout, advancing on the smaller boy.

"No, Dickie." Jason warns, trying to block Dick's approach. “I'm doing it—"

"Just let me—“ Dick grunts, reaching for the tie. “—help you—”

Jason tries to fend him off. "I don't need help." He growls, clutching the tie tight in one hand and trying to bat away Dick's attempts for control with the other.

"You're doing it wrong." Dick growls back, using his height advantage to try and back Jason into a corner.

Jason isn't having it, and yanks on Dick's tie as a distraction. It unravels from around the seven year olds neck.

Dick's eyes go wide, "You—"

And then they're wrestling, rolling around on the floor, grunting and shouting as they fight to gain control of the ties. Dick is taller, it's true, but at only five Jason has a lower centre of gravity, and tackles his brother round the legs. Dick crashes to the floor with a shout and a loud thump!

"Hey!" Bruce shouts, emerging from his closet in a pink Barbie hoodie he's pretty sure is Vicki's from years ago and a pair of board shorts. "Both of you!" He claps loudly. "Enough!"

"He started it!" Jason grunts from where he's now squashed beneath Dick, the seven year old furiously trying to keep his younger brother pinned beneath him.

"I did not!" Dick shoots back, but he climbs off of Jason.

Once they're both standing again Bruce groans. Their once meticulously ironed shirts are now all creased. Their previously combed hair, wild once more.

"Alfred doesn't iron your shirts for fun you know." Bruce mumbles, dragging a comb through Jason's curls whilst Dick re-ties his tie.

“Alfred says he shouldn’t ironing them at all.” Dick says nonchalantly, with a pointed look at Bruce. As though the older man’s inability to use an iron is a mortal offence.

"I want a pony tail." Jason declares, totally ignoring Bruce's grumbles about loyalty and priorities. His little head pulls backwards and forwards with the comb. “Like the merman.”

"Jason—" Bruce begins.

"Bruce." Jason says very seriously. "I want a seapony."

Bruce heaves a tired sigh. On the one hand, Jason calling Arthur a merman is utterly delightful, purely for how much it aggrieves their already grumpy, resident Atlantean. On the other hand, it pains Bruce beyond measure that Jason was so enamoured with the obnoxious hero, that he now wants the same top knot Arthur was sporting the one time Jason had met him. All of that, of course, totally disregarding the fact that Jason’s hair is not even remotely long enough for a top knot, and that the best Bruce can manage with his youngest’s curls is more of a palm-tree looking disaster on the top of his head.

“Why do you like Aquaman so much anyway?” Dick asks, licking his hand and smoothing his own hair into place. Gross, Bruce thinks. He thought he’d broken Dick of that habit.

“He can talk to sharks.” Jason says simply. “I bet he can beat the whole Justice League in a fight.”

“Excuse me?” Bruce splutters. “Aquaman can’t beat any of us in a fi—”

“He can SPEAK to SHARKS.” Jason says loudly, but there’s a mischievous twinkle in his eye and the corner of his mouth curl up in a smile. “A shark could just eat a bat and go CHOMP.” He turns under Bruce’s hands, wraps himself around the man’s leg, begins pretending to eat him.

“CHOMP!” Dick adds, because he clearly thinks this a great idea, and then he’s on Bruce’s other leg too, the pair of them in terrible Australian accents, chomping and yelling that ‘bats aren’t friends, they’re food’.

“Why did I have children?” Bruce groans, though it’s only half hearted. Exhausted as he is, he’d take Batman being second best to Aquaman, as long as he’s always number one to these two little monsters.

~

It takes him at least another half an hour to get the boys ready for school and looking at least half way civilised. By the time they’re nearing the school gates, Jason is practically buzzing with excitement. He’s wanted to go to school, since Dick started.

“Okay, bye!” He says loudly, trying to slip out of Bruce’s hand, as soon as the gates are in sight.

“Err not so fast, chum.” Bruce says, clinging tightly as Jason starts to try and writhe out of his grip. “Don’t I get a hug good-bye?”

Jason lets out an enormous huff, but waits patiently as Bruce squats down to his level.

“Be good.” Bruce says, because Jason is good but he’s also totally bonkers. “And remember Dickie is there too if you need him—”

“I won’t.” Jason says confidently.

“Rude.” Dick pouts.

“—and listen to what your teachers tell you, and make sure you eat all your fruit and carrot sticks, and—”

“B, it’s okay.” Dick says, putting a hand on Bruce’s shoulder. “We’ll be finished really soon.” He turns to Jason knowingly, “B’s sad because he’s gonna have to spend all day without one of us for the first time ever.”

Bruce clears his throat, begins re-tying Jason’s laces. He was not expecting a seven year old to have dropped that kind of knowledge on him.

Jason’s eyes widen and he pats Bruce on the head. “You can play with my Legos if you get bored.”

Bruce laughs at that. “Thanks bud.” He ruffles Jason’s hair. “Have fun, go learn something.”

“Bye, B.” Dick says, pecking Bruce on the cheek before skipping off towards the gate.

Jason watches him go, then leans into Bruce’s ear. “Bye boodad.” He whispers, because he’d never let Dick catch him still calling Bruce that. Then he skips off too, without a backwards glance.

Bruce watches them go, heart aching bittersweet, feeling just a little bit lost.

~

“If you think you’re going to spend everyday the boys are at school just sulking Master Wayne, you have another thing coming.” Alfred says down the phone, as Bruce makes the walk to school for pick-up. He’s still wearing the Barbie hoodie and board shorts.

Bruce huffs. “I haven’t been sulking.” He replies moodily. “I was brooding, it’s very different.”

He can practically hear Alfred roll his eyes. “Indubitably.”

“Do you know Jason’s favourite member of the Justice League is Arthur?” Bruce says, voice edging into a moan. “Arthur.” He says again. “The only way that’d be worse were if it were Hal.”

“Or Oliver.” Alfred replies, laughing at the Bruce’s horrified silence. “Why don’t you introduce him to Diana. I’m sure she’d sway his affections.”

Bruce grumbles something about wanting to be Jason’s favourite, before promising to call back with what the boys want for dinner.

Moments later there’s a squeal from the gates and Jason and Dick are charging him. Jason practically climbing Bruce’s legs to sit on his hip.

“Hi!” He says breathless.

“Hi chum!” Bruce grins, squeezing the five year old tight, before ruffling Dick’s hair. “What’d you learn today?”

“I did a painting!” Jason says excitedly, pulling it out of his little satchel. “Look!”

It takes Bruce a moment to figure out who the painting is of. There are three strangely formed stick figures, two with black hair and one with white hair. Then a third figure with big black wings and finally what is, inescapably, a merman. Bruce’s smile suddenly becomes very fixed.

“It’s lovely.” He says, ignoring how Dick is sniggering by his side. Then he fishes his phone out of his pocket, and shoots off a quick text.

Diana, free for dinner at mine tonight? —B

how long have you been growing out your hair? looks gorgeous! planning to grow out my own but i keep foiling it with trims because of split ends

unbelievable to me that i opened my tumblr app to see a kind stranger asking about the only thing in the world that actually matters to me: how long my hair is.

i'm going to give you a needlessly detailed response but if you don't wanna read all that: 7 years 8 months and it (as of today!) brushes my tailbone

i grew my hair out as long as i could in high school and it got to almost my waist. i shaved it all off in summer 2013 and started growing it out from a buzzcut in summer 2014

when it reached the ugly soccer mom bob stage i got an undercut from ear to ear around the back of my head/nape of my neck, like this:

random pic off pinterest btw idk who that is

i shaved that undercut for the last time in very late december 2016 and kept my hair at shoulder length for a while waiting for the undercut to catch up

so basically since jan. 1 2017 i have been growing out my hair from bald 👨‍🦲

in 2022 i shaved the sides from my ear forward like this

very skrillex. i loved it. i had been day dreaming about this kind of sideshave for well over a decade. at this point my hair was just past my waist.

then in 2023 i extended the side shave all the way to the nape of my neck again like a death hawk. like this:

the last time i got that sideshave touched up was 12.29.24 so it's been growing out for 7 months 12 days

i do not plan to cut the rest of my hair short to match the sideshave until it reaches like... actually idk probably my waist? but the thought of having to chop my hair back to my waist makes my entire body clench painfully so maybe not who's to say

my hair grows extremely slowly. more slowly than anyone i've ever met, actually. most people in 7 years can grow their hair down to classic length (the bottom of your butt/top of your thighs) or even longer.

i think trims can be very helpful if your hair grows quickly, if you have a lot of split ends, or if you have bleached hair. actually if you have bleached hair trims are mandatory and unavoidable. for me, i prefer to do "seek and destroy" haircuts where i just bought myself a pair of sheers and i snip off the individual split ends i find whenever i find them. is this foolproof? no definitely not. will any hairstylist tell you that trims are necessary? yes. and they probably know what they're talking about. for me, my hair grows so slowly and i want it to be long so badly that idc about splits. if i noticed my ends THINNING i would get them trimmed for sure, but otherwise i am really reluctant to let anyone cut my hair.

i had a reliable stylist who i went to for years and i trusted her to give me barbie princess layers and not take any length off. she moved out of state and i'm thrilled for her but i cannot imagine trusting a stranger with my hair. especially since the last time i did so (in july 2023) i ended up having to chop 6" off my hair because she thinned out the ends so much. SIX INCHES. that's like over 2 years of growth for me.

what i really want rn is a little itty bitty undercut around my ears like this (but with no bangs):

and with how fucking annoying my grown out sideshave is i have literally been parting my hair to do this 3-4 times a week. but i am NOT allowed to get another undercut until i grow this one out for a full year 😤 which is a rule i made up for myself because otherwise i would immediately lose the will to keep at it and just do the skrillex thing again.

also if you happen to be here from my asoiaf sideblog i can tell you that i do still play the game where every time a character's hair length is mentioned i compare it to my own hair. the two people who have me beat are khal drogo (his hair in an intricate multi strand braid reaches his thighs) and aeron greyjoy i think altho i might be misremembering aeron.

TY FOR YOUR QUESTION THERE IS NO WAY YOU WANTED THIS MUCH INFORMATION XO MWAH

[vampirecatsw]

Doodle and WIP dump + a lil ty note to the community below

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your support on my dcmk art I posted a while back (barbie meme with Kid and Conan)!!

I've reblogged a lot of stuff from the community but I very rarely make original content, so it made me super happy to be able to contribute and that people liked it ^v^

Here is a doodle dump + some wips of dcmk art. I've been busy bc of uni and have hit a lil art block so I'm hoping posting this will inspire me/hold me accountable haha

(shh ignore Conan's hair in the sunflower one, I haven't fixed it yet XDD)

(some more info/insight into wips below the break)

~

Some extra info:

The redraw of Lost Ship in the Sky (Conan convincing Kaito to disguise) and the dramatic Kid sketch is a very self indulgent au where I give Kaito Hips (please #GiveKaitoHips2023) and a mask to disguise himself. It's inspired by the mask Jii was wearing in the very first episode/chapter mixed with the Kid doodle. Also, I headcanon Kaito as genderfluid (in general).

The sunflower Kaishin one is inspired by Sunflowers of Inferno. I rewatched it then and immediately pumped out the wip haha. Sunflowers = Kaishin flower supremacy please. I love seeing content of it! Here, Kaito's trying to find the biggest sunflower for Conan, so Conan has like a Huge bundle of sunflowers already, and Kaito keeps pulling them out like his roses, nevermind the fact they dont even fit into his sleeves. He's just too good. Conan's going "Another one?" *sweatdrops*

The last one with Shinichi and Conan is inspired by Shinichi's birthday... um I started it on his birthday in fact LOL. And also the adorable chapter covers with Shinichi and Conan. They're soooo cute!! You can also take this as a sibling au too if you wish, or see it as Kaito pranking Conan. And shoutout to the sibling au fic writers!

As you can see from my bias, Kaito and Shinichi/Conan are my fav blorbos. On the other hand I should go draw some other characters for Variety, it'll be good for me haha.

~

*bows* thanks for reading if you've reached this far of my rambles. I'll see if I can post some more doodles and wips in the future, and I'll see everyone around!! AND ALSO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND ASKS AND REQUEST <3 <3 <3 I prob wont be able to draw for all of them but I would love getting them so much

[frecklystars]

omg the cookies turned out super cute!! im so glad you were able to celebrate with ken and barbie!! the pics with them each holding their cookie is so adorable 🧡

AWWWWW thank you so much for saying so!!!! My sweet orange heart friend 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I felt genuinely felt so much better when taking those pictures!! Seeing my F/Os physically holding the cookies I baked for them, it just - it felt right. Made me daydream about them both being so excited to see their faces on heart-shaped things. Seeing the little "We love you Keri!" sign on the pink flowers too, it just... it felt really nice. I felt very loved by them. I spent hours baking and decorating and setting things up, that didn't make me feel anything tbh I was totally numb and depressed, until the very end when I actually set up my dolls with those items, and then it "clicked" and I was suddenly beginning to feel better. I thought to myself "oh hey 🥺 that's my Barbie. that's my Ken. they came for me. look at them holding my cookies. I made those for them and they're so so happy. we're celebrating our love, and my road to recovery. it's really been one year and I'm still somewhat hyperfixated on them. that means something. that is really special. I did not think I would be able to enjoy any F/Os one year ago, so it is a huge leap forward that I am enjoying them today" and I've slowly started feeling just a little bit better, trying to get myself into the habit of self shipping like this, the way I used to all the time ;u;

I'm trying to celebrate the rest of my Barbie/Ken anniversary plans on the days where I'm in a good headspace, and it's working out really well! I originally had everything planned on just the one day, July 21st - a movie, a restaurant, baking cake and cookies, wearing my Barbie outfit with my cherry blossom skirt, etc I think I was even planning on going to the beach (but let's be real. it's the hottest summer ever. even Ken would not like the beach right now sdlfjdsfldsf!) I've started breaking it down to just one activity at a time on a day where I feel up for it. I went to a restaurant the other day and ordered heart-shaped waffles like they have in the Barbie movie! At some point, I am going to bring my dolls to the movie theater and have them sit in my lap and hold my candy for me, facing them toward the screen, and we can watch the movie together. It will be nice, a theater date 🥺🥺🥺 Building up that habit of believing you're loved and planning fun things to treat yourself, while tying your F/Os into those activities, really feels so good!!!

My anniversary with Sebastian from La La Land already passed on Sunday, but I still wanna celebrate! So when I feel up for it one of these days, I'm gonna go to a coffee shop and get myself two extra small hot chocolates, and them written one for Keri and one for Seb. And then when I get home I'll just pour them into a regular cup and drink it lol but still! It will feel really good to hear them call out "for Keri and Sebastian" - one part of my self ship w/ Sebby is that we go on coffee shop dates, or I'll surprise him with one when he's busy working and doesn't have time to get one himself. It helps me feel so much better, really nice acts of self care that gets me out of the house, and makes me think of my F/Os at the same time! 10/10 highly recommend!!!

I've already planned on baking more cookies for my anniversary with Officer K on September 1st :D and an apple pie for Driver in that same month-- oh! That's another thing, I'm actually baking! I never used to do that, but now I'm always looking forward to learning how to bake new things. My anniversary with Six is coming up on the 18th of this month, and I have roses being delivered to me soon! It's rly nice to look forward to these things too. I've even marked the orders as a gift, and the seller who crochets the rose bouquets actually includes a note to go with the bouquet! So I picked one that says "I love you" and I'll set them by my Barbie bouquet in front of The Gray Man poster :D

Anyway my silly rambling aside, thank you so much for taking the time to compliment me on the cookies photos!!! Ilu orange heart anon, I hope you have a wonderful week, you deserve it 🥰💕💕💕💕💕💕

🎞️ 🛁 🥡 for your self ship asks!!!

HI LEIGH TY FOR INDULGING ME

🎞️ – you each pick three movies for a movie marathon. who’s picking what?

me: midsommar, spirited away, and nope

satoru: barbie, kiki's delivery service, and crazy rich asians

suguru: everything everywhere all at once, princess mononoke, and blade runner 2049

🛁 – do you prefers baths or showers together?

baths with suguru (they're calm & quiet), showers with satoru (it gives him the space to crowd me into the wall and kiss me when he gets distracted while i wash his hair). showers if it's all three of us (the tub isn't quite big enough to fit three people, especially when two of those people are giants)

🥡 – do you prefer to cook together or order takeout?

cooking with suguru by a long shot. if satoru's in charge of dinner we're ordering in (he tried to help me cook once and we almost had to call the fire department. he's not allowed in the kitchen without supervision anymore.)

send me self ship asks!

Poll #26

Character 76: He's an evil version of the protagonist who has gone through a time loop and become super evil from the despair of knowing what he would become. What he doesn't realize is that thanks to wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff he actually diverged from the 'prime' version, who is now ready to stop him.

Character 77: He's a hopeless romantic. He draws his crushes during class. He gets turned into a supervillain and all he wants is to take his crush on a date. He ends up flirting with a guy later who likes his art, and his friends try to wingman them together. Misunderstandings happen, but he helps the heroes save the day by tying up one of them to a kite and putting a blindfold on them. Yes, it was wild. It's pretty much his awakening to liking boys. After the dust settles, he ends up working on an original project with the guy who likes him. They're almost always seen by each other's side after that. His partner drags him to gym class despite him hating sports and working with groups. He makes up a lame excuse and uses puppy dog eyes, and they somehow work. He's a mess but his partner finds it endearing.

Character 78: This Barbie is hated by her boyfriends parents, a trans girl with XXXY chromosomes, not allowed to step foot in houston texas ever again, a victim of a smear campaign ran by grown ass adults, a disgrace to her old christian private school district, a cancer survivor, the middle child out of 5 siblings, a taurus, a Bratz girl, driving down to the airport in the middle of the night and thinking bout the fact she wasnt able to say goodbye to those who wanted her to die, jewish and cuban, she cant remember her statistics though...but she does know shes israeli because her family and her speak hebrew fluently, like a rockstar princess stuck in a middle schoolers body(according to her boyfriend), soooooo weird(according to some lululemon bitch from her class), a texan turned los angelean, Tumblr royalty.

for / @thewolfruns participants / barbie & selena! story / they're roomies. that's the plot. did you expect more? 🤨 setting / their shared apartment in encantadora, california!

the living room would've been completely silent if it wasn't for the constant hum of the refrigerator off in the kitchen and the clacking of barbie's laptop keyboard. she had never been the type of person to work with background music or a podcast playing, something her (currently) ex-boyfriend daniel thought was weird about her. he would've thought it was even weirder that she was answering work emails at nine pm on a saturday, but there wasn't much else for her to do. selena, as far as barbie knew, was out of the house; she wasn't speaking to dan (or zach, for that matter) at the moment; every other nighttime establishment in town was either owned by the lobos or the cucuys, which meant she wouldn't show her face at the former by herself and the latter-affiliated businesses were usually filled to the brim with her dad's old friends, or prospects that didn't know the story of ty rockland yet and thought they could hit on little barb goodwin, of all people. in barbie's opinion, where she was was exactly where she wanted to be.

thinking she was home alone, barbie had been surprised by selena's bedroom door opening. shoulders slightly jumping upwards, she smiled softly as her roommate entered the room. "hey! i didn't know you were home. i thought you were maybe out with bill tonight." barbie wagged her brows. "i feel like i haven't seen you in days!" she hadn't approved of bill, but didn't think they were close enough for her to tell her that truth; besides, no one in her life approved of daniel, and as much as she loved to talk shit about him, she wasn't ready to hear it from selena. "...or is he in there?" barbara pointed towards selena's bedroom, teasingly grinning.

39&40 for the movie asks!!

ohh ty ellie these made me really think about my answers!! 39. in your opinion, what is the most underrated movie? hmmm i dont know about most but i really liked ryhe lane and i feel like the movie didnt get the attention it deserves!!! also. im gonna pull this card and say the ruby red triology movies bc i KNOW they're german and they're a success in germany but i still have met like two people who like them and they are literally the greatest thing ever and most people should watch them <333 yes i'm currently reading the books can u tell. 40. a film you think everyone should see at leaast once. okay SO. I have multiple answers for that. my first thought was 10 Things I Hate About You and that's just a fact !!! best romcom ever made apart from shall we dance 1937 and everyone needs to watch this like at least twice in their life but i'll settle for once !!! (i have watched it. so many fucking times lmaoo) my current favourite movie is mission: impossible: rogue nation and i feel like that movie is one everyone should watch simply based on how it's a really well done action movie which is also a romcom at the same time AND is really smart actually AND grabs your attention the entire time? it even has rebecca ferguson in a killer dress as a spy and simon pegg as a comedic relief character? a promised good time !!! my last answer is barbie simply bc i believe in barbie's power so much!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH BARBIE AND REALLY UNDERSTAND ITS MESSAGE AND APPLY IT TO THEIR LIVES SO WE CAN ALL LIVE IN A NICER SOCIETY !!
