i don’t know how else to describe eternal yesterday, and the profound affect watching it has had on me, other than it’s the most quietly heart-breaking show I’ve possibly ever seen. It presents its subject matter so simply and plainly in a way that makes it feel huge, overwhelmingly huge, painfully huge. It’s premise is not for supernatural drama, it isn’t played up, not laughed at or exaggerated or used to give things more unnecessary emotional weight, it simply gives physicality to the real experience of letting someone go, to having to let someone go, to having to let go, and the indescribable pain of it that you can’t truly know until you’ve experienced it. It’s a glimpse into this short period of time, less than a week, that is so private to them, and is so concentrated with emotion, that truly does feel like time stopped, holding on, the fear of the moment passing, so instead the pain of it is just dragged out. You think of course they should do this, fight for every last second they can have together, but then you come to realise this life after death, this impossible extension, its a curse just as much as it is a miracle. We always wish we could know when we are going to lose someone so we can take that chance to say goodbye, but is that easier or harder? how do we wrestle with the pain of holding on but the pain of letting go? its a situation we cannot win, its simply a situation that has to happen, and we have to let time tick on.
there’s so many moments i want to bring attention to in this series but i’ll hold back and just talk on the 4 that feel the most special to me. first, a personal one, because in so many ways oumi reminds me of myself, and never has that been more true than the line “honestly, i feel comfortable when i’m alone. and i hate myself for being comfortable”. i cant think of another character that has embodied this anxiety i have in myself so much, and so simply, this ridiculous contradiction of being so at peace in your own company and despising that peace sometimes, wishing it wasn’t so peaceful, so maybe you wouldn’t be alone, maybe you’d do something, go out there, find people and things to do, and yet all that time maybe you’d be thinking “i’d like it so much better now if i was at home by myself”. its kind of ridiculous, and maybe people like us do need a koichi to be the company in our lonely peace, but yeah... i just have never felt so seen by a show before.
secondly, that final conversation oumi has with his father, because this whole time the situation feels so insular. even though other people know, and other people love koichi, and koichi loves other people, this is about oumi and koichi, and no one can truly understand the immensity of what those two are feeling in that moment. its like i said, you cant understand it unless you’re in it, unless you’ve experienced it. and yet, at the end, this minorly present, distant father comes in and says “what you’re going through, i went through that too”. and its the kind of conversation that doesn’t happen because they’ve both experienced this supernatural phenomenon of a love one existing after death, it happens because they’ve both lost people they’ve loved, and that something thats universal, and the people watching don’t need to have experienced anything supernatural to empathise with that. its when the audience truly realise that this story might be insular to them, but the story has also been told infinite times by countless people, and such the emotion of it is both theirs and everyones.
third, i think my heart actually crumbled to pieces when koichi said someone could have 2 number 1s. its his phrase, he loves mitchan the most, mitchan is his number 1. and its only given more weight when oumi says it back, and even more so when we hear his ending lines, about always wanting to be number 1 to someone, and that someone being his number 1 too, and how much of a miracle that is. for that same person, knowing he has to leave that person he loves the most, to say you can have 2 number 1s, saying to oumi its ok, you can move on, in the future you can have people that are precious to you, thats so fucking beautiful, and is an act of such love i cant even put it into words. you can feel so guilty sometimes for moving on from a loved one, for even feeling like you’re replacing them, so that gesture, that permission, that almost request, to not lose happiness and love because you’re losing them, to let yourself be happy again, because thats the biggest gift you could give to those you lose, thats just beautiful.
and finally, the moments in episode 6 where koichi is starting to disappear, and when people start to walk into rooms and not see him, i don’t think i’ve ever seen such a good metaphor for what its like to have a same-sex partner and for them to never truly be seen as your partner. because when that nurse walked in and was just talking to oumi, like koichi wasn’t there and yet he was, and oumi got so mad because thats the most important person in his life how dare you not see him, how dare you ignore him. i think it was him saying ignore that connected it for me, because thats what its like when you walk in with a same sex partner and you’re not recognised or seen as a couple. I thought to myself if this nurse walked in and oumi was sat with a girl, how he’d instantly be asked if its his girlfriend, but no he’s sat with a boy so you dont even bother asking, either because you dont think to or dont want to. we get flashes of it throughout the show with people not knowing about their relationship or the relationship between the teachers, how the gay is hidden. and with koichi gone but not gone, he’s like a ghost in oumi’s world, and i feel like that’s what it can feel like sometimes, walking around with someone you feel like no one else can see when theyre all you can see. theyre there but no one draws attention to them, no one wants to acknowledge them or it, the relationship, the ghost in the room, to the point you want to scream they do exist, how dare you think they dont. and when oumi gets angry on koichi’s behalf, thats what happens, thats what it can sometimes feel like experiencing homophobia. its horrid and angering and you want to scream because how dare they do that to the most important person in the world but theyre at peace with it. koichi has accepted his fate much like someone learns to accept hate and harrasment, they become at peace with it. and you can get angry all you like but that doesn’t change anything, that doesnt stop it from happening, thats what it feels like. you get that when you lose someone, you get angry when other people have moved on when you cant, you wont, you dont want to, you think why dont people care anymore, how can they be so unfair and unkind and unfeeling, which is why its shocking that themes of loss can mirror these queer experiences, where a partner can feel invisible to everyone even when their heart is beating. thats why i think this blending of actual loss and actual invisibility with queerness being hidden and unseen is just heart-breaking genius.
this show is heavy, and has honestly brought out in me one of the most condensed visceral reactions to media ive ever had. i feel sad, i feel drained, i feel broken. ive cried so much, and my sadness is physical, my heart hurts, it feels heavy. and yet... i do feel at peace. i feel at peace with this sadness because its something you have to learn to do in life. these experiences are inevitable and ive always tried to avoid these heavier shows, things i know will hurt and make me sad and feel things, where there isn’t a core of happiness, a good ending to keep you together. but sometimes it has to be embraced to see the beauty in it, because as koichi said, despite what happens, despite the tragedy and sadness and loss, at the core of the story if two people meeting and falling in love, and how that simple, human connection, that we all have, is a miracle, so treasure it.
#jemmo sad hours#im literally writing this through tears#i just needed to rant otherwise the sadness would eat me up and id become a ball of depression for a week#this show is just stunning#and such incredible performances by the leads#that scene in the last ep of them holding each other and koichi sobbing#honestly ive never seen anything so intimate and touching and heartbreaking that was just phenomenal#im so grateful for this show and its message and the love and care everyone involved put into it#these plots can so often be overdone or cliche or sad just for sadness sake#but this felt simple and pure and raw in a way that trusted the story and characters and performers to covey the emotional weight with#understated sincerity and i adore that#nothing extra nothing unnecessary just how it feels to be in love and lose that person#they know they dont have to overplay that#they know if its acted and put together and produced well that it will say everything it needs to#im in love#and ill never rewatch this show again bc i cant take the heartbreak but ill treasure it forever#eternal yesterday#made by jemmo

Happy Day 1 of Cast Appreciation Week to George Rexstrew!
I know George is not on Tumblr, but I'm singing his praises everywhere today!
Thank you for everything you've given our fandom, George. Our perfect Edwin Payne, we love you so much! 💜💀🔎
Transcript of my letter below the cut!
Happy Cast Appreciation Week October 20, 2024
Dearest George,
First of all, let me start by saying that I cannot believe Edwin was your first on-screen performance: you are one of the most polished, dedicated, naturally gifted actors I've ever had the privilege of seeing on my TV screen. I was captivated by your performance from the moment you stepped on screen, and I think you could put some "Big-name" actors in the industry to shame. The love you have for Edwin, and the work you put into portraying him, is evident. Also, you have one of the most soothing voices in the whole world, btw - I don’t know if anyone has ever told you that, but your voice is absolutely lovely.
I've rewatched Dead Boy Detectives more times than I can count now, and your portrayal of Edwin's journey of self-discovery, and his journey with accepting not only his sexuality but also being in love with his best friend, is reverent and breathtaking...it moves me every single time. Edwin's story is one I related to on a personal level and I imagine I'm far from the only queer person who can say that (falling in love with your best friend kind of feels like a right of passage). The way you handled such a sensitive, poignant part of Edwin's story cannot be overlooked or understated, and so many queer kids have seen your performance as Edwin and feel braver now as a result. I hope you are immensely proud of all you've given the LGBTQ+ community so far.
Lines like "If you punish yourself, everywhere becomes Hell," "Bad guys do not worry about being bad guys... I dare say we all worry about who we are, deep down," and "It's not what you did, it's what you do" live within me forever, and it's your voice I hear when the reminders are needed. I will never be able to put into words, as a Charles-adjacent-spirit, how much your portrayal of Edwin felt healing to me. The voice in my head is not always kind, but now there's another voice there from time to time which is far kinder so thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart.
I hope you know how loved and appreciated you are by this fandom not just today, but every day. I hope our words and our continued fight will remind you that you've had such a significant impact on so many people and that you are adored and appreciated. Your sheer presence has brought immense joy to us; "Gameo" week alone was one of the highlight experiences of being a Dead Boy Detectives fan, and that's due to your kind, generous heart and the amount of work you put into those Cameos. Your authenticity, passion, heart, wit, dedication, and incredible sense of humor are all things I admire about you, and I feel thankful to be one of your many fans.
I wish I had Edwin, and Dead Boy Detectives as a whole when I was a queer kid figuring my shit out, but I'm tremendously glad the world has both of them now. Thank you for everything you've given us, and thank you for being you.
You are our Edwin, always and forever, and we will all be here to support you (and fight for you) in all your current and future endeavors.
All my love, Veronica "V" @ atfsims1

rereading the villainous friends extra and
Xue Yang was about to split his sides laughing. "You should've gotten a mirror and looked at your face. That smile was nasty. It was so fucking fake I could have thrown up."
Jin Guangyao snorted. "What do you know, you little delinquent? One has to smile, no matter how fake, no matter how disgusting it is."
Xue Yang lazily replied, "You were asking for it. If anyone dared say I was raised by a whore, first I'd find his mom, fuck her a couple hundred ties, then drag her out and throw her into a whorehouse for others to fuck as well. Then we'd see which one of us was really raised by a whore. Simple."
Jin Guangyao laughed as well. "I certainly don't have such refined hobbies."
"You don't, but I do. I don't mind taking care of it for you. Just let me know, and I can go fuck them for you, hahahaha..."
Jin Guangyao said, "No thanks. Save your energy, Xue-gongzi."
head buzzing full of thoughts mostly:
I will never not love the fact that Jin Guangyao calls him "Xue-gongzi." do you think anyone else does that because I don't and I think Xue Yang finds it hilarious and also kind of adorable (and I think Jin Guangyao is both sincere and also knows Xue Yang finds it funny)
I feel like sometimes I see fellow Jin Guangyao apologists talking about Jin Guangyao like...just tolerating Xue Yang or dealing with him because his father told him to, and the thing I love about their dynamic so much is actually that it seems like Jin Guangyao is genuinely, ruefully fond of him
like here, Jin Guangyao has just had a very nasty experience that we know later on is what finally pushes him over the edge w/r/t Jin Guangshan, and Xue Yang makes Jin Guangyao laugh. by being crass and absolutely kind of gross, but Jin Guangyao's understated verbal reaction ("I certainly don't have such refined hobbies" "save your energy, Xue-gongzi") read to me as teasing.
also between this and Xue Yang's cutting out He Su's tongue after he insults Jin Guangyao too far earlier: Xue Yang's love language is horrific violence. other people will say "do you want me to kill them for you" but Xue Yang will actually do it and be very proud of himself about it.
anyway. just some feelings about them again and I feel like I'm failing to verbalize them appropriately. maybe I should go try to write that "jgy teaching xy to read" fic now

A Collared Occasion (Prodigal Son One-Shot)
Martin Whitly x Fem!Reader 18+ ONLY / requests are open
Summary: Martin gets you a collar.
CW: possessive!Martin, it's Martin Whitly. Content warning enough, choking, p in v
Prodigal Son Tag List: (send an ask to be added to a tag list!)
___ ___ ___ ___ ___
On the days when Martin is allowed to work from home, you find yourself gravitating towards his study. Not to bother him, but just to be in his space. His hours are so erratic and varied what with all the surgeries at all hours and being on-call for emergencies- plus all the admin work? It was a miracle you were able to see him as often and as much as you did.
Of course, his days from home weren't all that common. Just when he had a huge backlog of admin and paperwork, the hospital just sent him home to work on it so he wasn’t being disturbed by interns and surgeons in training all day long. Not that you were complaining about it, of course. The more work-from-home days he had the better in your opinion.
Martin had brought it up one night when he had his hand around your throat and his cock buried so deep in your cunt you may as well have been choking on it.
“Fuck, my love, you’re so tight- fuck, look at you. Oh, there’s an idea. How about a collar, hmm? So everyone knows that you’re mine.”
His cock had twitched violently at the thought, and the keening sound that worked its way out despite the death grip Martin had on your throat had barely sounded human with how desperate it was.
The next day there was a collar on your pillow when you got home from work. It was a pretty thing. Understated. It was a thick black leather band that buckled at the back. There was a little split ring in the middle centre for a leash. Oh. Now there was an idea.
You’d fingered the leather for a moment picturing this when Martin had happened upon you.
“I see you found your present, my dear,” he’d purred, sweeping your hair over one shoulder and pressing kisses to the side of your neck, hands dancing over your hips to wrap you in his arms. He watched your hands playing with the collar for a moment or two, his breath sending shivers down your spine as you felt it on your neck.
“Would you like to try it on?”
Those seven words had sent heat coursing straight through you to your core. You’d sucked in a breath and Martin had chuckled darkly, releasing you from his grasp so he could take the collar softly from your hands. He’d asked you to hold your hair up for him, and he’d unbuckled the back to slip it around your throat.
You’d kept your hair up in one hand and with the other brushed your fingertips over the leather of the front. Martin had smirked behind you, not that you could see it.
Once he had it buckled nice and snug, he asked you to turn around. The look of adoration on his face had sent your eyes to the painting behind him, avoiding eye contact because the sincerity was just too much.
“There she is. Daddy’s little whore, hmm? Perfect,” Martin brushed a finger over your cheek before trailing it down to brush over the leather. “You’re absolutely exquisite, darling.”
Then his finger was looping into the ring and yanking you towards him. Your breath hitched as you crashed towards him. He steadied you right before you fell into him and pressed a soft kiss to your forehead. Such a contrast to the dominant act right before that it practically gave you whiplash.
“Mm, I think I like this look on you, my dear,” he’d practically purred.
“Yeah?” You’d breathed through the word. “Me too.”
“I thought you might- such a whore for me. You’re mine, aren’t you.”
You nodded, lips parted as you basically panted with need.
“Yeah. Daddy’s little whore.”
Martin grinned possessively.
“That you are, darling.”
And so, it so happened that whenever Martin was allowed to work from home, he’d have you wear your collar and sit in your chair by his desk, or under the desk with his cock down your throat when he asked (and even when he didn’t, sometimes). Basically, you did whatever he asked of you, whenever he asked.
And you enjoyed it very much.

Could I request a scenario where Kaeya and his s/o show up to a ball wearing the formal wear of the opposite sex? Basically, Kaeya's in a ball gown and s/o is wearing a suit.
I decided to keep reader more g/n just bc!! But they are wearing a matching suit w kaeya uwu
Kaeya thought that he would absolutely kill it in a gown but he’s never had the opportunity to test out his theory.
Until now.
When the invitation to a gala addressed to the two of you made it onto his desk he couldn’t help but grin in delight, deciding that this would be the perfect time for him to test his theory. He wanted nothing more than to see just how great he’d look hanging off your arm, maybe sans heels just because he didn’t know if he felt up to wearing anything above an inch for an entire evening but regardless he knew it would be amazing.
You didn’t complain either when he brought it up, in fact deciding that you’d go shopping with him to buy a matching suit. He loved the idea of looking like he belonged to you and with some adjustments made to a lovely navy blue evening gown to fit his body perfectly he was now ready to attend the event.
Kaeya isn’t a fan of doing anything half assed which meant that he also had his hair done half up and down, a beautiful hairpin of your choosing keeping it up to tease the long expanse of his neck and open back of the dress he chose. He knew he’d get a couple of stares but he couldn’t have anticipated the people loving his look as much as they did. Several people came up to him, those who recognized him giving him sincere compliments about how great he looked and those who didn’t trying to hit on him to which he’d simply gesture to you and remind them that he’s taken.
“Kaeya?” He turns to the familiar voice, smiling at Jean and Diluc before gesturing to his outfit.
“The one and only. Doesn’t this dress look great on me?” He gives them both a spin, Diluc rolling his eyes and taking a sip of his drink.
“Ever the dramatic. I knew the second you came when all the heads turned and everybody started trying to get a peek at you. Honestly this dress is a little understated compared to some of the other suits you turned up in before,” Diluc replies.
“I wanted to warm myself up first. Wearing an extravagant gown might be too uncomfortable considering some of the detailing I saw on some of them. The beads or lace can get terribly scratchy and when I’m going to need to socialize as frequently as I usually do I’d rather focus on my conversational partner than the way the dress is rubbing up against my skin,” he laughs.
“I can attest to that,” you say, laughing along. “Some of the other dresses Kaeya had his eye on would have rubbed him raw. This was the best compromise. Simple and elegant. Plus, the slit makes him look even taller.”
“Well you look great Kaeya. There’s a reason why you’re turning heads,” Jean says, nodding appreciatively at your own suit.
“I would have loved to dress up more too but unfortunately I ran out of time to pick up a new suit for the event so I’m stuck wearing this,” she sighs, gently tugging on the hem of her white suit jacket.
“You look amazing Jean; I’m sure plenty of people have their eye on you too,” Kaeya says sweetly, taking a hand in his and squeezing it gently.
“Now if you’ll excuse me - I’ve got some people to visit!”
Kaeya spends the rest of his night socializing and flitting about, adoring all the attention he’s getting. It’s nothing too out of the norm for him but standing on your arm radiantly seems to make the air about him different. Jean and Diluc know it’s because he’s practically radiating under the sweet kisses and compliments you’re slipping into his ear, tan skin warming as he gives you a playful retort that’s lost some of it’s bite when he gives you a kiss on the cheek.

time for the hsr update liveblog
im gonna sob. jing yuan is such a Dad. yanqing is such a Son
thinking so much about yanqing being forced to act older than his age but getting to let loose and actually be a kid when it comes to the things hes interested in
i love him
"miss march" LOOK AT MY POLITE SON!!! LOOK AT HIM!!!!!!
save my son from bureaucracy. and also from my daughter
ok why does huaiyan have and old man model when its canon that xianzhou natives dont physically age
hes old enough to be blades master so hes not an outworlder. what gives
he talks like a man who's had to spend extended time listening to the ramblings of a toddler and now is fazed by nothing
fu hua please give these old men a break
the fact yanqing looks to jing yuan to answer questions... oh baby
also jing yuan is so proud of him its so cute
hes so polite. even though she stole yanzhuo
oh yunli is an ASSHOLE
'you lost your sword because you were unfocused and now you have to fight me to get it back instead of expecting me to hand it over'
lmao the dad voice came out
i really like how its clear that yanqing is a lot more even tempered now. he only even entertains the idea of fighting yunli when she directly challenges him (after insulting him too!)
and when jing yuan warns him he immediately steps back
baby's first diplomatic mission
yunli darling i think yanzhuo is scared because it was possessed by a demon, not because yanqing is mean
this is so sweet. he really is jing yuans son
and remembering blades comment that jing yuan was a hothead as a kid. oh man. the parallels. oh boy
ok im not crazy. thank god
JING YUAN LORE
man it must be crazy for huaiyan to see this rebellious kid who became a knight against his parents wishes eventually succeed teng xiao and grow into one of the best generals the xianzhou has seen
i am ignoring the death flags yet again
hes so sincere its adorable
ok bestie cool it down. you have bigger fish to fry
I AM IGNORING THE DEATH FLAGS
jing yuan you cant die. he will be orphaned AGAIN
i dont know if he can take that
the parallel of jing yuan being told hes overthinking things by huaiyan and yanqing overthinking jing yuan
he is literally jing yuans mini me its so cute
yanqing, dan heng and jing yuan all sharing the same thoughts. i love their dynamic. they are the understanderrrrrs
MISTER DAN HENG
sobs
man yanqing is too young to be implicated in political intri-
hang on. if the abundance yanqing theory is true its gonna look real bad on jing yuan for looking after him. and like. that would be the ideal twist for this
but its only a continuance its fine nothing too important will happen
i hope
YANQING STEPPING IN TO PROTECT LINGSHA HES SO CUTE
hes good boy. jing yuan raised him well
this is maybe the first praise he's had to his face like. ever
at least in the entire game
well now we know why jing yuan was so uneasy
huaiyan's remark was so pointed jesus.
im curious to see where they'll go with this because i bet jy feels guilty as all hell
yes yunli thats what trauma does. and adding to it by insulting him and confiscating his property will totally help
she is so. 13. this is a 13yo
its striking me that yunli is everything yanqing haters claim that he is
i really hope yunli gets some character development. i can see all the yanqing stans realising this ^ and talking smack about her.
btw. dont do that. thats my 13yo edgy emo daughter
FEIXIAO IS SO HOT
well. i guess i do need a wind dps
oh my god shes so hot. oh my god
hes so excited to see her this is so cute
hey. she. she kinda looks like kiana. now that i think about it. with her hair like that and the blue eyes
ok its fine they dont share a va. false alarm. no kiana yet
bur GOD does she make me nostalgic for the og
kiana would absolutely say this
acheron come get your girl
DIPLOMACY KING!!!!
fearing how westerners will react to him being ticked off by yunli because they dont understance face
every girlboss must have her malewife
this warms my heart
she really is kaslana coded

i bought ultrakill forever ago but never got around to playing it. what is the deal why has it spawned such a dedicated fanbase. you seem like you'd know....
IT'S JUST REALLY GODDAMN FUN!!! that's the short answer and honestly the best answer. it's really ridiculously fun. like probably one of the most fun games to ever exist.
there is a ridiculous amount of care and skill and soul packed into every design choice; it culminates in some of the most immaculately ecstatic and visceral gameplay i've ever experienced. it cannot be understated how brilliant this game's design is. the only way to really understand why it excels is to just play it!
if you'd like an anecdote to represent the overall ultrakill experience, here's mine: when i played the demo for the first time, after maybe 5 minutes i became so physically nauseous that i had to stop. and in that time i immediately went to get the full game. it's DELIGHTFUL. (see also: jerma's playthrough where he starts screaming "humans aren't supposed to be doing this" during a boss fight.)
but even aside from pure gameplay, there really is a lot to love… there's a certain self-aware sincerity to everything. it's unabashed on purpose, and in the best ways possible. despite its obviously absurd violence, don't at all mistake ultrakill for something cynical or misanthropic—there's a lot of depth and heart dancing beneath the surface, a lot of it in places i didn't expect to see it, and so much that i didn't expect to appreciate nearly as much as i do.
[okay this got too long. the rest is going DOWN HERE ↓]
like okay, obviously the music is just. insane. the goddamn midi metal/breakcore genre fusion is THE most hilarious and unfathomably genius stylistic choice that could have been made. and it's not even just that!! there's ambient & drone & harsh noise influence all across the ost, which just enchants and delights me. i DEFINITELY didn't expect it, but i love it. (the fact that there's like, a level named after a sunn o))) song, and that the latest update contains a godawful joke about trout mask replica might tell you exactly what kind of game ultrakill is, or it might tell you literally nothing.)
the writing and worldbuilding can be rich and compassionate in ways i really didn't expect, too... it's so evident that it's a work of passion, with really sincere and often sweet philosophies sprinkled throughout all the bloodshed and grotesque silliness—and often within them. it makes me smile! also gabriel is a really good character. people go apeshit over that guy. for good reason. he's just REALLY good.
if you're just interested in understanding its amassed fanbase, yeah ultrakill's is pretty ridiculous and dedicated. and it's extremely deserved! the game is fun & the characters are fun. being in early access, it's kinda built on ongoing feedback, so it makes sense people are invested. the devs really seem to embrace the fanbase wholeheartedly, which helps a lot too. that is also why, kind of inexplicably, ultrakill is kind of a gay & horny game. please note that i do not say these things flippantly or lacking deliberation; there's an extremely good essay to be written about gayness across ultrakill & its communities. like aside from the general hilarity of a game having official buttplug support, the fact that the dev team hired an artist specifically because he drew a lot of incredibly beautiful/obscene depictions of gabriel DOES say a lot. this, of course, makes ultrakill 100x better.
anyway that's the basics. i could definitely write THOUSANDS of words about this game and that's honestly... not what i expected when i booted it up the first time LOL. it really just happened to appeal to a lot of things i sincerely adore, in an unexpectedly sincere way—all while being a STUPIDLY good game.
TL;DR: it's a fun robot video game where you shoot things. and there's blood and explosions. it's good you should play it
#ultrakill#for the record i haven't actually been into it for that long... it's been around for years now so i'm relatively new to it.#but MAN it's great. thank you for giving me the opportunity to blurt out all my thoughts about it LOL#going through the game's developer museum today has me thinking about Making Things in general. it's seriously inspiring...#i just love when you can see heart and soul and passion positively bleeding through a piece of work. AAAGHH...

Hello Prince Yves,
I really do adore your sense of fashion so I was wondering if I could maybe get some advice? I have a date coming up soon so I'd really like a tip or two on how to look more presentable.
Sincerely, 🪷 anon
Hello, 🪷 anon.
You've come to the right place! Fashion and personal grooming are my specialty, after all.
First thing's first, find some articles of clothing you feel confident in. What do you enjoy wearing? What do you feel looks best on you? It doesn't have to be a whole outfit, maybe just a shirt you like or a flattering pair of trousers.
Base your outfit around that article of clothing. Dressing your best is like putting on armor. Creating an outfit based on something you already love will help you shine your brightest on your date.
Now that you have your main article, you can build the other parts of your outfit. Find a top or some bottoms that compliment whatever your chosen piece of clothing is. Try matching a patterned piece with something solid. Something bright with something muted. The complimenting contrast will make your outfit look pleasing to the eye.
Now that your main outfit is complete, it's time to layer and accessorize. Do you have a complimentary overcoat you wish to wear on your date? Gloves? A hat?
Even if you are going to be wearing something that will be removed indoors, at least make sure it doesn't clash! If you are carrying an eyesore of a jacket around with you, it can ruin your entire look.
Now, accessories can be tricky. Finding the right colored gems to go with your outfit can be a pain. I always recommend accent jewelry such as a simple string of pearls or a metal chain.
Both gold and silver tend to go well with any outfit, so wear what you like. If you're concerned about it, match your jewelry to your skin tone. Silver compliments cool-toned skin while gold compliments warm-toned skin. Try not to mix metals when wearing jewelry, as that can make it look busy and distracting.
Alright, I think you're almost done...
Oh! Shoes!
My number one rule for shoes is:
WEAR SOMETHING YOU CAN WALK IN
The worst thing you can do on a date is wear shoes you can barely walk in. You think your partner wants to catch you flailing about?!
Make sure you can walk comfortably in your shoes. Other than that, just make sure they are neutral colored and not too flashy, they'll go fine with your outfit.
If you wear leather shoes and a belt, make sure they're the same color. If you wear brown shoes with a black belt, you'll look like a disaster without an ounce of taste.
The extravagance of your outfit will dictate your hairstyle. If it is cool and understated, you should have a classy, simple hairstyle. If it's something with a certain theme, such as ballroom attire, then you will want something to match, such as pinned up hair you can stick plenty of bobs and bobbles in.
Alright! And with that, you're done! On your way now, and good luck! Wear your favorite perfume, and know you're armed with the fashion sense of Yves Kloss, 🪷 anon!

I feel you've moved away from Mick slightly in the last few weeks. I also thought your comment about Laila being on a free trip to Japan was a bit cutting. Obviously they both want to spend time with one another. Lsila also has her own money and has acquired quite an amount of money too. Maybe I'm wrong but you're normally one of the first to post or tag Mick
hi best bud!!! thank you for giving me an opportunity to chat a little about where i'm at in my head and in my heart and honestly in my life in general. so for the last two race weekends i have been on a tropical vacation literally 8000 km away from my home with my best buds 🥰 girls trip!!! and on previous vacations i've tried to keep the posting going but honestly this time around it just felt super difficult and i really needed to disconnect cause i've got a lot going on in my life rn (under a read more not to bore you all)
tl;dr is that i still absolutely adore Mick, but the uncertainty over where he's going to end up is really tough for me to be dealing with on top of everything else in my life. i'm working through it!!!! for the last 6 races, they are also generally WAY easier for me to keep up with for posting cause they are in my timezone :) so you will see me back on your dash posting rather than reblogging real soon!!!!
really appreciate your concern and love buddy <3
1) my mom is going through chemo for stage 4 cancer and while i was away, ended up in the hospital for a fractured vertebrae, which is super stressful cause its just me and my dad around to help her and they were worried it was possible that the cancer had spread to her bones and etc etc etc. all good in the end and they have her on a pain management plan while it heals and finally gets to the end of her chemo plan (she can't get any further treatment until chemo is done) but obv that's been weighing on me really really heavily. i did most of my grieving earlier this year and have honestly been handling it pretty well since then, though there are weeks more overwhelming than others, but yeah, it sucks very very much.
2) remember boy that i was seeing who got deported? we've been doing really well keeping in touch with calls and texts and even all through my vacation he was sending me good morning texts, little check ins throughout the day, etc. until near the end he found out that his company was no longer going to sponsor his visa 🫠 and full credit to him, he was super upfront about it right away and we agreed we would deal with it when i got back and well. i got back. and we agreed that until he can know that canada is actually a real possibility, its best if we end things here ☹️ so yeah basically got the "it's not you, it's me" from him but i do agree that if he doesnt plan to be in canada im not doing short term long distance if there isn't going to be an end in sight.
3) there is soooooo much uncertainty surrounding both Mick & Callum right now and where they're going to be next year and that has been majorly stressing me out if i'm honest. like i had to totally disassociate from the whole social media fiasco Callum got pulled into cause im sincerely so worried we won't see him on the grid next year, that would actually possibly kill me. and similarly, Mick is being rumoured for WEC seats and the F1 door is closing and like. i can't do WEC. it's not that i don't love it, but i've been there for Callum and had a tough enough time just being able to find a place to watch them, nevermind that 8h-24h races are just not sustainable for me unless i drop another sport that i love. and quite honestly, i don't love that Mick has made most of his public persona his relationship right now. when was the last time he posted about racing? i LOVE a hard launch, it truly brought him back into the mainstream in terms of conversation, but then he didn't really capitalize on it to even do a throwback or even a post himself about Mick's Kart Race that DVB organized or a fucking training post. i totally understand where you're coming from in that they want to spend their time together as much as possible and like, alright go to japan amazing!!!! i just wish that we were SEEING more than her. momentum in this kind of job market is so easily influenced by perception, and right now my perception of Mick is that he has a girlfriend and no job prospects. ALL THAT TO SAY. i adore Mickolas. that will never ever change. i want to support him wherever he ends up. i've been there for Callum and done it before and i will absolutely do it again for Mick.
4) balancing having a life and work and friends and love, which was new for me, is fucking hard to do if you also want to post and write and edit and gif and watch racing. i'm having a tough time figuring it out. i've been grieving over the last month quite honestly, cause i love this community and i adore what i've built here and i still LOVE racing and sharing that love and passion with you guys. it's just really hard to figure out how to do without sacrificing things that mean more / have a higher priority in my life right now. but i'm missing it!!!!!!!!! so much. i wanna get back to gif'ing and posting and writing, truly.
#amanda answers#anon#life update i guess#boy update buried in there as well lmao#love you friend i do

Build Up Episode 9 Recap Part 2: Flower and Guide for a Subtitle Lite Environment
Hey team! Thanks for coming back to my Build Up recap series. In the last one, I began recapping ep 9 but ran out of space for more photos. With the subtitles AWOL for this portion of the episode, I’ve been doing my best with google translate and my vague knowledge of Korean. I’ve been taking more screenshots than usual to help you connect what’s going on on-screen to the recap, so this will take up two posts (I’m only allowed to use 30 images per post). Anyway, enjoy!
I’m using this video link if you need one.
So, Jay’s team is still mid-preparation.
Cut to -- it’s evening and the team has gone to a recording studio of the composer of their new song.
Yes, hello, I am also Team Baekho. Thank you for asking.
The tattoo says “N’abandonnez pas” which is “Don’t give up” in French. So inspirational! I’m inspired. Are you?
Knock knock! The guys come in and say hello. This is composer Lee Beomhoon, also known as Prismfilter.
You guys, this isn’t a top tier producer. He has co-producer and arranger credits, mostly with Seventeen, but it’s not like he’s out there writing hit after hit after hit. Shinsadong Tiger or Dem Jointz he is not. They’re saying that he worked on a lot of famous songs, but it was as a producer or arranger, not as a composer, as far as I can tell. That doesn’t mean he can’t write a song, but just that he’s not as top tier as they’re making him out to be. If I’m wrong, let me know.
He asks them if they’ve listened to the song yet, they say yes, he asks what they thought of it. (Meanwhile, the crawl at the bottom of the screen is advertising a Build Up concert series in June.) We see them hearing a clip of the song and loving the R&B style.
Jay is happy that it’s sexy, because Jay knows how these shows works. Get those pants sparkling, lads!
Prismfilter says the song is understated sexy, like a black rose, “rather than being too red and passionate and sexy.” A “dark sexy.” And they guys are like, ooh so cool. Bitsaeon says, “I was just talking about a black rose!”
Bitsaeon interviews, “At that time, I was feeling euphoric. I think we can really sing this song well!”
They’re recording with temporarily assigned parts (says the on screen caption). Bitsaeon sings a line, and Prismfilter says that’s a good part for him. Same for Seunghun. Then Prismfilter -- I’m going to call him PF -- asks Jay if he wants to adlib a bit.
So he does, and PF says, “ah, perfect adlib.”
Minseo is nervous because this is his first studio recording session. (I guess this team didn’t do a studio recording for the previous round…?) So how will the maknae do?
He sings the line “It feels like I’m drunk,” and PF turns around to ask, “Have you ever really been drunk?” and Minseo says, “just once.”
PF tells him to remember the feeling, and Minseo tries again, but more “drunk” this time, then says, “it’s not working.” PF tells him to try sort of forcing the feeling -- I think, the translation is unclear -- and Minseo sort of stammers. Meanwhile, strategist Bitsaeon is lost in his thoughts. Suddenly Bit pipes up and suggests that Minseo could use a combination of “falsetto and sincerity” and PF likes that idea.
All the hyungs have helpful ideas and Minseo seems thrilled to have such nice helpful hyungs.
Seunghun thinks it should sound kind of “loose” and recommends a review of the rap part to add dynamics to the song.
Seunghun interviews, “In the last round, I hit rock-bottom. For this round, I’m going to write a rap for the first time to help us win.”
He meets with a rapper called Xitsuh (서출구). Xitsuh says, “It doesn’t feel like this is your first time doing this.”
Seunghun is so proud of himself, it’s kind of adorable. Also, I love his pixelated dinosaur sweatshirt. He says that he worked on it for several days and he thinks it came out well.
The guys meet in another unheated room to discuss. There are some mysterious pink boxes on the table. In the words of Han Solo, I have a bad feeling about this.
Seunghun says, “This song is all ours. The sexiness that we talked about -- I think it has to look good on the outside as well.”
Jay says, “Visuals are also important for a sexy style song.”
Minseo is like, “What can we do to take care of visuals?”
Bitsaeon, Age 28, Manager Man
Bitsaeon says he has an idea -- are they curious to hear it? They’re like, just tell us, we want to know! Their acting is really over the top and I’m feeling suspicious. Bitsaeon gets out… a device.
Oh no! It's product placement!!!!!
I’m not translating this part. They all try it and presumably talk about how great it is and how it’s making them even more handsome.
Next meeting. Now they’re in a conference room. Seunghun is wearing his team jacket but he’s the only one.
They’re gathered for practice when they’re suddenly given a mysterious card -- an evaluation.
Apparently, six days before the actual performance, they gathered to record practice performances, and this is their evaluation from the other teams.
“You can check the practice situation” “The teams conducted an interim evaluation”
I don’t really know what the guys are saying in this part because the on-screen caption just says “Calmly evaluating the other teams’ strategies” and my Korean listening skills are waaaaaay too limited for the task. Sorry. But the gist seems to be that they have to choose high and low tiers again.
So, what kind of evaluation did they receive?
All three of the other teams gave them a low tier score.
Haram says that Jay doesn’t mix with the others -- it’s like he’s just performing by himself. Suhwan agrees: “It feels like ‘Jay and the Boys’ all over again.”
Sunyoul says, “The problem is that only Jay is visible.”
Donghun says, “Bitsaeon is really good too, but he’s buried because of Jay.”
Bitsaeon reads these comments out loud and Jay is flummoxed. He says, “Actually, we’re a team. So the feedback that people can only see me is not good.”
And that’s when the subtitles come back, mostly.
Bitsaeon’s like, we got this.
In the next segment, they’re meeting with a choreographer -- and it’s Monika. She’s on a dance troupe called Prowdmon with LipJ, who you might remember from Boys Planet. They’re super intimidated by her. She thinks that Flower needed choreography, and she imagines a “fatal man” who is putting on cologne and fixing his hair.
“The sexy point is to be indifferent,” she advises.
They try dancing.
“Hawk-eyes initiated.”
“You ruined it!” she yells. “Do it again!”
They try again, but they’re not getting it. It’s really hard and they’re worried. So they decide to practice really, really hard. They’re pulling all nighters, which is so ill advised.
I wish people on shows like this would bear in mind that your body doesn’t work right if you don’t get enough sleep. You can’t learn if you don’t sleep. You study and study and it just falls right back out of your brain. It’s like pouring water into a sieve. Not to mention the fact that it plays hell with your mood and your physical condition, including, you know, your VOICE. If you’re in high school or college, please take care of yourself physically, ok? Plan ahead, study daily, don’t pull all nighters. <3 Thank you <3
The judges are excited for the performance, in part because they liked the song itself. Well, yeah, being given a decent song sure helps.
The performance begins.
Full version without reactions
My thoughts:
You can just tell looking at a screenshot that this team is going to win. I mean, I don’t know for sure. I haven’t watched the rest of the episode and I haven’t been spoiled. But I still know. Maybe I’ll be writing a surprised reaction at the end, but I just don’t think so. This team is winning for sure.
The song itself? I mean, it’s fine. It’s missing something, but it’s not bad or anything. IDK. It's better than the other songs, based on the snippets I heard on youtube, but it I can't get into it.
Ok, don’t get mad at me, but I didn’t love love love this. I liked it, I thought they basically did a good job, but I didn’t love it love it love it. So if you loved it and came here hoping to hear what was great about it, I’m sorry. You can skip all this.
I love how the petals never stop falling but also don't really build up on the floor. Interesting. And there are never any actually on them, like in their hair or stuck in the folds of their clothing...
A lot of the problem is the song itself, I’m sure. It’s like someone took a song like Guilty and made tea with it, and then tried to reuse the bag to make another song with it, and that song was this one.
But the rest of the problem is that the dancing changed everything. This is supposed to be a vocal show, and full on choreo isn’t welcome here, in my opinion.
Jay isn’t as good of a dancer as he is a singer, so his stage presence actually is diminished by the dancing. So now they solved the problem of Jay standing out too much by making him not stand out as much. But that’s not a good solution, because now you’ve kind of lost your star, and now you have four interchangeable members, instead of 1 star and 3 backups. His vocals were also slightly negatively affected, too. He did have a few really lovely ad libs toward the end, of course, but I couldn’t just relax and enjoy an amazing vocal performance like I’m used to doing whenever Jay sings.
In fact, all four of them sounded slightly out of breath and the worst they’ve sounded the whole competition. I’m not saying they sounded bad -- just that every single one of them has sounded better in every other performance they’ve done. I come to these performances wanting awesome fucking vocals, and I just got really good vocals here. Seunghun sounded more nasal than he’s sounded in a while, and Bitsaeon sounded strained at points.
I wish there had been more harmony. Also, I wish they’d given more lines to Minseo, too.
And for what it’s worth, this didn’t make my pants sparkle. I guess I just can’t think of any of these guys as sexy, not even for the duration of the song. I think the concept they were trying to do -- “black rose sexy” -- was just too subtle and mature for them. I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of the kind of sexy I think they could do and basically I don’t think these guys should be doing outright mature sexy. I think they’d do best with emo concepts. Basically, think most songs by TXT and I think these guys could do that.
But that’s just my take. If you loved it, cool! I’m glad you found something you loved and that made you happy.
I knew the MNET edit would be absolutely slobbering and it was. I knew everyone would freak out about Seunghun touching Jay on the chin, and they did -- we had to have an instant replay. There are a few more instant replays, too.
When they’re done, everyone goes nuts, of course.
The editors even put the rose petal filter over shots of the judges table.
The judges are judging based on how good the vocals are while they’re dancing, while I just want them to SING.
What will their high score be? It’s a 99 from Jaehwan, who just goes ahead and does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. I think the judges were feeling bad after last week, maybe? They should -- they gave them criminally bad scores last week.
Backstage, the other guys just sort of freeze in silence. It’s going to be tough to win this week.
All the fans cheer and scream, and -- aww, Bitseon is crying, I think. They must have been under so much stress. Poor guys. I like all these guys a lot and want them all to be successful!
Jaehwan says that he felt like he was watching an artist’s performance. That's sweet.
VCG says that Seunghun he knows how to move his body -- and he knows it, that’s why he wore that outfit. Fair! Seunghun definitely did the best with the choreo, from wha tI could see.
Baekho says that maybe it was a mistake putting them first.
And that’s about it for this performance and this segment!
Thanks for going along with me on this ride, and again, sorry that I couldn't gush about this performance like maybe some of you were hoping I would. I still like the members of this team and hope they make it into the finals.
Ok, see you in the next one, when we see Partners be given a song that doesn't really suit them and also isn't good! whee?

sincerely, omegaverse anon

Mmkay, some overall Rebecca impressions and then I'll stop (at least for today).
Mrs. van Hopper - Stole every scene she was in and it was delightful.
Favell - Went a little too comic in Eine Hand? I would've liked a bit more sleaze and less Disney villain's funny sidekick for that one, but he was good otherwise.
Beatrice - I had trouble imagining Annemieke as Bea before I watched this. In Die lieben Verwandten I feel like she should be less of a sweetheart and more... bracingly Wodehouse-esque, if that makes sense? She very much clicked for me in Stärke einer Frau, though.
Maxim - Gotta agree with @fitzrove's verdict from a few months ago. I'll be charitable and assume Mark was going for, like, understated sincerity or something up until he cut loose with Kein Lächeln and then reined it in again? It just came across as apathetic, and I missed snarky Maxim especially in the Monte Carlo scenes. He starts singing and I melt, though, so I can forgive him a lot.
Ich - Nienke had me from the moment she laughed behind Mrs. van Hopper's back in the first scene. Adorable, and she put a nice amount of added steel into post-Kein Lächeln Ich.
Mrs. Danvers - *Wordless flailing* The heartbreak, the increasingly obvious cracks in her self-control and sanity as time went on, the voice. A tiny moment, but that malicious little mocking smile when Ich said that her costume advice would be their secret. Gah!
Random and basically meaningless, but this has bothered me in every production I've watched - I don't like those three chords in Kein Lächeln and Keiner hat sie durchschaut (on "sie war tot" and "sie war krank"). I'd rather those words were just Maxim and not punctuated with the orchestra. I know they're meant to emphasize the "wham lines", but to me it feels like they cheapen them in a way?
Anyway, I'll be watching this many more times, I'm sure.

“you ain’t a beauty but hey, you’re alright” has no business tugging at my heart strings like it does, that’s gotta be the worst compliment i’ve ever heard lol. but combined with “that’s me and i want you only” and “so you’re scared and you’re thinking that maybe we ain’t that young anymore” and “well i’m no hero, that’s understood. all the redemption i can offer is beneath this dirty hood” well it’s just 🥴
#i think it’s meant to sound a little facetious in how casual/understated it is bc obvi the singer is really into this mary and it somehow#makes it way more sincere?#like when someone looks at their partner with adoration in their eyes and says something like ‘i think i’ll keep you around 😍🥰’ like that s#sorta vibe ykwim?

I understand that Klinger getting married in a wedding dress is technically a commitment to the bit, but we all know the bit is more interesting as an expression of actual identity, and that as the show goes on it becomes more and more unclear why Klinger would be wearing dresses if not out of sincere Want, and if there were ever a time to be really serious about something (and Klinger is deadly serious about it -- Klinger adores Laverne) it’s your own wedding
and then got to thinking about Klinger and sexuality/lesbianism and times where Klinger has been on dates with women, and danced with women, while in dresses (or in something more understated, it’s not only dresses after all) -- and nothing new here, I’m sure, but was wondering whether Laverne knew that Klinger married her while in a dress, and whether Klinger’s gender non-conformity and non-normative sexuality was something that she... was into? wasn’t into? something she struggled to get onboard with, because she loved Klinger (didn’t they grow up together) but ultimately was too much of a deal-breaker for the life she wanted to lead?
Laverne on the show as known through the letters (as with all the partners we hear of through letters) is very skewed by the person who receives those letters, and so one can be forgiven for thinking she’s “simply” a shallow sort of woman who wants an easier/traditional life and is easily swayed
but a traditional life may also be a clue as to why Klinger lost out first to the sausage maker and then to the best friend -- their masculinity is never in question, so Laverne is in a normative, no-need-to-explain relationship, which is what’s expected of her (Klinger may occasionally namedrop an uncle who “wore women’s clothing” to get out of a different war, but overall the atmosphere of working class Toledo probably veers as much towards normative expectations as anywhere else -- although I think I there’s more leeway for acceptance than Ottumwa or Mill Valley or Massachusetts, or even - despite Hawkeye’s romanticizing thereof - Crabapple Cove)
so yeah, where are we at with Laverne knowing Klinger was wearing a dress for their marriage?
#max klinger#im watching MASH#MASH#genderqueer/genderfluid max but in a way where the genders are: fancy -- understated earrings -- toledo baseball fan

Q's Top 10 Outfits, Ranked
Please note that this ranking is completely objective and based on peer-reviewed, impeccably researched scientific facts.
10. TNG: The Bajoran Monstrosity
You know, before researching this post, I sincerely thought the Beige Jumpsuit was the worst outfit TPTB inflicted on poor Q over the years.
I was, unfortunately, wrong. Behold:
It looks like someone murdered a Marriott carpet and decided to call it clothing. To make matters worse, Q apparently chose that one himself (thanks @celestialwarzone for pointing it out!), so I must assume he was trying to punish us. Or something.
the earring is pretty cute though
Hotness: -273 degrees Kelvin
Overall: Oh god why/10
9. TNG: The Admiral Uniform
Okay, I know early TNG didn't have a very large budget but what the hell was this even?
Come on, TNG, you can tell us now, it's been 30 years. Someone just grabbed some Christmas tinsel that was lying around, slapped it on a jumpsuit uniform, and called it a day. Right?
Hotness: Tepid
Overall: 1/10
8. DS9: The DS9 Captain's Uniform
@celestialwarzone and are in agreement that the DS9 uniforms are the prettiest of the bunch. Q looks fine in this.
I guess sexiness was probably not at the top of Starfleet's list when they designed their new uniforms. Drat.
Hotness: Warming up
Overall: 5/10
7. TNG: Dr Q, I Presume?
After endless jumpsuits, we finally catch a glimpse of ankle, so to speak. Look, much as I enjoy the sight of JDL in shorts, it's not so much the outfit as the pose that does it for me.
q you little slut
Hotness: It's hot in the jungle
Overall: 6/10
6. STP: "Local Aging Homosexual on A Golf Course"
(copyright @celestialwarzone)
Not my favorite STP look by a long shot, but compared to early seasons there is a definite sense of style here. The mission patch is adorably nerdy and Q is a total silver fox.
Hotness: Getting hot
Overall: 6/10
5. STP: The Sigmund
Okay, I don't know what it says about me that I find Q's therapist look unreasonably sexy. Is it the glasses? Is it the waistcoat? The sheer inappropriateness?
I don't know and I don't care.
(It's definitely not the German accent because it offends my Swiss ears, but it's better than TNG's so whatever.)
Hotness: Uncomfortably hot
Overall: 7/10
4. TNG: The Birthday Suit
Well, it's not so much an outfit as it is a lack of one, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it. JDL's got mad big dick energy in this scene, and it shows.
Hotness: Hot
Overall: 8/10
3. STP: The Drama Queen Suit
Apparently, nobody wears colors anymore in the 23rd century, a fact I generally find irritating (why are you all dressed in black? Has fun died and are we attending its funeral?). However, when it comes to Q's outfits this season, I can't stay mad for long.
Where to begin: the exquisite tailoring, the beautiful silver lattice on his back, the improbable brooch. I love it.
Hotness: Burning
Overall: 9/10
2. TNG: The Red Judge
Frankly, nobody except JDL could have pulled this one off. But pull it off he did, and this outfit has practically become Q's signature look, at least in TNG.
It's red, it's black, it's camp. And it's utterly iconic.
Hotness: Flaming
Overall: 10/10
1. STP: The Black Suit of Naughtiness
After the last entry, it will come as no surprise that Q's best outfit comes from Star Trek: Picard once again.
Yes, the judge outfit was bolder, and arguably sexier, but there is something about the all-black understated aesthetic that is just.
Perfection.
Plus you can totally tell he's up to no good. Which he isn't. Or is he?
Either way he's going look fantastic.
Hotness: Romulan supernova
Overall: 11/10
#star trek#star trek the next generation#star trek tng#star trek picard spoilers#star trek: picard#q of the continuum#star trek picard
