#watch me delete it like YOINK

[ratkingnezu]

Thanks to @rosypenguins i now agree with the headcanon that Drew meows back at cats & is overall a cat person. Sooooo….

drops this on your foot and runs away

————

“You guys are doing what?”

“We’re gonna go check out this new e-sports club they’re starting up, wanna come with us?”

“No, i’m not as much of a dweeb as you two.”

“Alrighty then, suit yourself” Liam shrugs.

He and Henry were gossiping about this so-called “esports club” they had just seen posters for. They’re incels anyways, so they’d fit right in. “Maybe i should just start heading home, they’d probably assume i did that regardless of where i went.” As the duo walked the opposite direction, Drew walked out the double doors leading down the usual route they took home. With a cold wind walking alongside the boy, he put his earbuds in and cranked up his music. There was no need to take in the sounds of the depraved middle-aged women of the forsaken parent pick-up or freshmen delinquents yelling about some “brainrot terminology” he’d been hearing of recently.

Shortly after the second right he usually took to get home, he noticed some bushes rustling in front of a house. He saw glimpses of grey between the leaves. Slightly intrigued, he walked over towards the area and a curious fellow peeked from around the bush. A small, grey tabby cat with soft green eyes was staring at the larger man who had cracked a slight smile. Drew squatted down, holding out his hand; “Pspspsps, come here baby” he said in a soft, high-pitched “baby” voice. The cat slowly walked over to him and sniffed his hand, rubbing its side against him shortly after. Drew smiled as he watched the cat open its’ mouth, as if it were meowning while Drew pet its smooth coat. The boy meowed back, seemingly striking up an intriguing conversation with this lovely, vibrating fellow.

As multiple songs passed and multiple meows were exchanged, the cat decided to walk away, seemingly back to its owner. Drew got up and dusted himself off, sighing and turning around to be met with a smug Liam and Henry staring at him, Henry’s phone aimed directly at the magenta haired boy as he felt his face go hot.

“Wh-what the fuck are you two doing here?”

The brown haired spoke first; “We were walking home?? What were YOU doing here?”

“Uh..” He walked back on to the sidewalk, “I was also walking home? Henry, why’s your phone like that??”

The snickering little twerp looked at the boy, “I was recording your little “conversation” you were having.”

Drew’s face went flush, “You did WHAT?? Give me that-!” As he lunged for the phone, Henry started laughing as he played keep-away with Liam. After a minute or so, Drew facepalmed. “Can you please just delete that video?”

The green-haired boy chimed through tears, “Yeah, but it’s already in our group chat!” As his laughter only got louder, Drew whipped out his phone to see a video get sent to the group chat the Jomies were all in. And he saw a familiar face typing…

Jake?! What does this freak have to say?!

Frantically typing pleas to prevent Jake from watching, the message was sent.

“LOL that was the cutest thing ever. Just gonna… yoink that!”

Drew fell to his knees, his face burning as his pride went with it. Liam bent over and patted his shoulder, “Hey man, it’s alright. Seems like your boyyyyfriendddd enjoyed the video.”

“I hate you both…” Drew muttered, as he got up and walked home whilst tugging on his hoodie strings.

What a couple of dweebs.

Bethany's Bizarre Miraculous Reviews Episodes 4-25 and 4-26: The Risk and Strikeback Two-Parter

Alright, we are finally back. Also is this really a two-parter? Why haven't I heard anyone talk about Risk, anyways?

Oh, and one more thing: I've been calling these reviews but really they're just my live reactions as I watch the series. But 'Bethany's Bizarre Miraculous Reviews' rolls off the tongue far better than 'Bethany's Bizarre Miraculous Live Reactions.'

Wait, was Luka always in the title sequence?

I mean, it'd be good for Chat Noir to know as a failsafe.

Wait, does Rena Furtive know?

So fun fact, that "Adrien No" scene from a future episode blew up on Twitter and I saw it get reposted to two of the Discords I'm in. In one of them they called Gabriel Agreste G-Man and that fucked me up. Just call him Poopmoth or Hawkmoth or something.

Weird ahh looking teeth

Wait, is Froggy's dad Tom Kenny or am I just hearing things?

No wait, that's the same VA as Poopmoth.

Holy crap! AOE attack! There's potential for that Wild West akuma idea I had!

Bro sees his father so little that even breakfast with him is a rare commodity

Shirt

Has this kid been up all night? I guess he has been taking risks...

Damn Adrien's sick of everyone's shit now

Wait, is Gabriel affected by Risk as well?

And it's the three girls I think genuinely adore and believe Lila.

Lila you bitch. Just let Marinette announce her love to Adrien. You're going to get aeons of time to spend with her anyways.

Oh right. Chloe's teaming up with Lila.

Both sides have a point, but really? Alya, you helped Marinette steal Adrien's phone just to delete an embarrassing message.

Is it just me or does this episode feel weirdly hard to watch?

"Oh Nathalie, I threw up at school because of dad's shitty-ass pancakes." "Get out my damn room!" "You've always been a whiny little bitch."

But it seems like Felix is actually starting to help Adrien now. Good!

The safe crackerr

Good. Now that you have Poopmoth's Miraculi, take them to the cops as evidence that Gabriel Agreste is Poopmoth.

Oh right. Nathalie has her walker things.

Knights don't typically convince dragons in these kinds of stories. At most they stand around idly and evade all the dragon's attacks until the dragon gets tired and gives in.

I'm tired of the word "Risk" at this point. This is too on-the-nose for themes. At least Simpleman was fun.

Oh god Kagami's character is getting poisoned already

Oh god Risk is just Simpleman but worse the IQ poisoning is real

Wait, Lila isn't disguising herself around her other mother? Or did she fake her death around the first mother?

Oh. They were fakes. Back to the "Yoink Gabriel Agreste" plan.

Kaiju

This has been hell so far to watch. Stop saying the word of the day without everyone screaming after it. On to part 2.

Well, Alya knows now. And Luka.

That fucking LEITMOTIF!!!

Wait, this is just reused from last episode!

THEY'RE STILL SAYING THE FUCKING WORD! I AM SO SICK.

Shouldn't Ladybug realize that kid has green skin?

And didn't anyone realize the frog marks on the backs of their necks?

Reused footage

Oh. Is Strikeback a Pokemon?

Nino's got a loose tongue. Noted.

FINALLY!

Oh. The sky's red now.

Well, the shitshow's over, now for Felix to ruin everything.

The traitor. Is he really sorry?

Oh god she's genuinely freaking out

And right in her time of need. Thank you, Chat Noir. Everyone say "Thank you, Chat Noir" in the reblogs/replies as well.

Alright, the ending was actually fine since I knew what was happening. Cathartic too. But otherwise these episodes were like Peewee's Playhouse without any good qualities. Up next is season 5. Play us off, Peewee's Playhouse ending with Peewee Pictures closing logo.

BRICK! I AM SO FLIPPEN LUCKY!

I accidentally thought I deleted your ask which instead got posted and then deleted, but I got lucky and had copied the questions to answer qwq. I've been using control z too much... So thank you thank you for all the questions on Jornos and here you are! (Sorry I took so long to answer lol) @brick-a-doodle-do i can see a lot of awkward conversations between tommy and emduo + wil. like a lot of sarcastic comments towards tommy that have a secret meaning to tommy! lots of tensing up at the softest of questions

Yesssssssssssssssssssss! Many many awkward times! Tommy just a lil anxious boi :3

for the thing with tommy knowing things he shouldn't, how about a scene with tommy accidentally humming a tune he'd heard wilbur play before? maybe even accidentally murmuring the lyrics while wilbur only plays the melody! :0000 *yoinks this idea for later* Oh I likes this a lot >:3

do you have any design ideas for tommy's borrower home? is it very innovative with crazy cool designs, or something more basic that he'd thrown together with whatever he could find? I have many ideas for his home but nothing specifically made or set yet. Been thinking about that a lil bit atm lol. While I don't have any designs for Tommy's room, I have made a floor plan of the Crafts house to make sure I'm being coherent to the story and scenes so have that!

how does tommy react to the internet? does he find a means to conquer it after seeing how intimidating it is, or does he immediately fall victim to social media? maybe he finds some good ole schlatt videos and bonds over them with wilbur! Oh he's infatuated with it. He loved to try and watch Tv of Beans in the past but actually gaining access to the internet blew his mind! Learning so many new things and not understanding how some stuff was possible was insane for him! And Canon! Def bonds with Wilbur over the old vids!

does wilbur absolutely drag him into the world of music? i can see wilbur making a mini-him with his new younger brother! 100%. To Wilbur, Tommy is free blank slate brother. Time to educate the child in the world of music and properly!! (as well as everything else lol)

in a lot of fics, techno has swords n knives pinned up on his walls or leaning against his walls, do you follow through with that here? lalalala *yoinks another idea* :3

that also leads me to the question does tommy, as a borrower, find this threatening or interesting? and similarly, when he's a human, does he struggle with hiding his interest/fear of them depending on his borrower-selves reaction? Boi is both terrified and drawn to the blades. There's one sword displayed on top of the book shelf that Tommy often likes to marvel at. It's part of why Tommy tried to go for the craft knife that Techno left out on the table when he first moved in because he wanted to wield a sword like that too.

i bet tommy might have a strong reaction to flavorful things, especially something spicey, sour, or even really sweet, since borrower's grow up mainly on grain with the occasional addition of fruit or dessert. does this spark interest between emduo + wilbur or do they just bond with him and call him a child over it? I think I mentioned in a previous ask that Tommy just goes into sugar rush overload when he gets access to sugar so in a similar way, he'd have an extreme reaction to spicy, sour or bitter things too. If given any of those things tho, I'm pretty sure once comfy with the rest of sbi, would scream: ARE YOU TRYING TO POISON ME?!?!?

tommy using his skills as a human! i can see him offering to fix the craft's ripped clothing with his sewing skills orrr maybe they go hiking or smth and tommy's climbing instincts kick in and he just fucking climbs a tree like it's nothing lol Yesssssssssssss. That was one of the only things he could do at the colony and not get into trouble for it. Often he'd hide out and fix clothing for others so he loves to get his hands on stuff to mend for sbi. When they notice this, they actually get him proper sewing equipment and nice fabric for Tommy to experiment with and he goes wild with new clothes and bags. He adores it!

on the note of instincts, how are tommy's instincts? i always see borrowers listening to their instincts more than humans but still not always listening to them. does he got like really good reflexes that earn him the nickname spiderinnit? (to which he is extremely confused cause huh? maybe that leads to a movie marathon :0) Brick. How? How are you having all the amazing ideas?? *yoinks this too* He is spiderinnit damn it and they watch every spider man movie. So Tommy's instincts are a bit nuts atm. Normally his first thought when in danger is to run and get back to the walls or somewhere safe, but when he shifts he is so out of it, he kinda just shuts down because he can't just run back to the walls. Later on when he kinda works out the sizeshifting abilities, it takes a lot of will power to not let himself just run from everything and hide. But he will often react a lot to footsteps of people coming or animals because he still semi associates it with danger.

birthdays! i don't know about you or this au, but i like the idea of borrower's not really celebrating birthdays, and even if they do not every single one. so what's tommy's reaction to possibly having a party thrown for him? Sometimes Individual bdays are celebrated within small family's when borrowers see fit, say they turn 1 or 13 but yeah most of the time bdays aren't really celebrated. The celebrations are more of a celebration of surviving to an important point in life, not making it another year older in age. (that makes no sense becky. Good job :'D) Colonies will usual celebrate a borrowers coming of age for all the borrowers going on their first successful borrowing trips (of course Tommy isn't allowed at those though)

^^ on a similar note, does tommy know his own birthday? and if he doesn't, how the hell do the craft's react to that ?? He does not. He was abandoned by the colony and they kind of just guessed he was like 2ish when found so they make his bday just sometime in April because that was the time he was found. Tommy doesn't even really think about not having a specific day till he's asked and the Crafts are just so shocked that this kid has probably never had a party in his life and literally throw him a party within the next few days. Tommy is just so touched that he decides the date is April 9th because that was the date. (Even if it was actually *enter different month here*)

I have no idea what else you said about the ask but at least I had the questions so thank you for sending them in and your continued interest in the story! Jornos chapter 2 is almost done and then just needs to be proof read so keep your eyes peeled :3

[lonelyvomit]

Hi! I have some questions for you, if you don’t mind.

1. Do you know where I can watch the Europe goes sick and dangerous documental of BC if I’m not from Finland?

2. Why are the guys going to LA for writing songs instead of in Finland?

Also, (in relation of what an anon send to you) it is true that I feel that some of the most famous tumblr blogs of BC are being deleted. 😐

yoink it from my google drive

2. changing the scenery can help with inspiration and creativity a lot, LA is a whole different world from Finland and quite a few finnish musicians seems to think highly of LA as an inspiring place to write

also I know several blogs have been deleted but I feel like most of them just remade? idk maybe it's just me, but my circle hasn't changed much over the year and a half.

[alvin-draper]

I'm sorry did Erik just drop a FUCKING STADIUM ON CHARLES. Like plausible deniability on the knowing he was there front but fuck me. Ohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo okay flashforward central we killing off all the people now. Oh my godddddd what a finale man. I'm sorta liveblogging bc I no longer have the energy to go find random posts to write notes essays off of. Too busy watching Hank and Logan do weird shit cirac 1973. MF DO WHAT U WERE MADE FOR. ERIK WTF ISTG. For all his mutant love bollocks he really only loves them where they're on his side. This is not solidly the case with him always but it's where he's at after 10 years of solitary and it sucks arse. Poor Kitty trying to hold him. Furthermore I absolutely need to see the Rogue cut of this at some point. Already found an extended cut to watch at a later date. Erik just fully yoinked their secure bunker out of the ground which is actively quite funny, however he's wearing the evil helmet and has nearly killed Charles. Also I'm seeing evil speech coming. vfbdsqjihcv bjkdLAN BXWLKEDBCX SAKDLB THIS FUTURE SHIT. Also that clip of fucking Peter watching the TV jgbjajabsdjb. And all the kids in the future dying. He still talks a good talk though. If you brush off the uh. The murderey stuff. And the fighty stuff. IT's like he's never heard of grassroots activism and community organising. Erik this is not how movements succeed and you should know it. 'All those years wasted fighting each other Charles. To have a precious few of them back...' Gayboys. Furthermore I am very sad about this. Oh my godddddddd Charles Erik. Mr President?????? Oh my God it's RAVEN!!!!!! Oh my god she shot him. Oh my fucking. Oh my. Oh hey Charles forgor about u. Pretty boi. He's so right though. Bloodshed leads to more bloodshed. Cycles of violence. It's her chance to break them all. While Bobby dies and Kitty mourns and they all die 50 years from now. She gets to make a different choice. Ohhhhhhhhhhh the silence of that empty room. That chance of their future coming to fruition. Also Charles getting that chance. And giving it up. Goodbye old friends. Goodbye Erik. I'm gonna go freak out about this aren't I. And Logan. What became of him? How does 2014 look in a world sideways from their original? There's sunlight coming through the blinds. The tech is weirdly advanced. He's in the school and the kids are alive and class is in session. Hank's doing fine. Storm. It's like everything went perfectly and perfectly wrong all together. Oh my god JEan? NAH. Put it back in the box. SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Girl aren't you a telepath can't you tell at least a little?? Anyway hey prof. He could use some help with everything from 1973 on apparently. Oh good God. This has to be equal parts dream and nightmare for him. RIP Logan though even after all that the Stryker thing fucking. Oh ejwkvh dnksv fsj sfvnsdjke. Hey Mystique. She should always get the last word. Okay so that movie was INCREDIBLE. Post credits??????? Post Credits!!!! One thing to thank Marvel for then I love post credits. Maybe not this one fucker seems ominous af. Are they seriously fucking giving a fake explainer on the pyramids to me right now I am going to ferqfvdwe someone. Time to go watch all the deleted scenes too hope those'll be good. More Cherik maybe? Oh the Rogue scenes yayyyyyyyy. Rescuing Rogue goes hard I like it. Erik protecting them????????? Yes humanise my bb. Bobby though!!?? Did they kill Bobby early in this cut?????? Wild. Oh wow she got. The grew up. Oh God Kitty. Hello Logan? Yeah Hi babes. Ur pseudo daughter is here. Oh but they all ended up fine! Yeah they shoulda kept this I fear. Some of it anyway. Her being able to fully take over from Kitty destroys some of the tension on that end though. Hmmmm. Done w this kinda horribly written post now just needed to liveblog it a little due to the brain worms you understand. I LIED DELETED STORM LOGAN KISS WHAT. Yesssssssssssssssssssssss.

[my-arlington-academia]

A little fanfiction for Axel's birthday! (Yes I'm always late to everything 😔)

After I missed his birthday, for some reason inspiration hit me and I wrote this to apologize to myself for forgetting. I decided to make Scholar a boy in this one since I feel like there's not enough male Scholar content! (This is also the very first fanfic I have ever shared with other people so don't be surprised if some parts are really clumsy. Beware of possible typos and grammatical errors...) Enjoy!

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

The day was slowly drawing nearer.

Scholar was checking out multiple social networking sites and Axel's Wikimedia page for a few hours now. The fangirls and fanboys were excited all over the Internet as if it was their own birthday. Comments such as "Axel and I share the same birthday!!" And "I've been following you since the very beginning, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Axel 💖 you really helped me when I was going through tough times." Or "HAPPY B-DAY AXEL❤❤ I LOVE YOU BBY"

Made Scholar wonder how it must feel like to receive happy birthday messages from millions of strangers. Well, he was guessing that it must be really pleasant: why wouldn't it be? Even if Axel doesn't know them it doesn't change the good intentions they have. Anyway! This wasn't the point of Scholar's "research."

He was browsing through a bajillion of interviews, fanblogs and comments to find what Axel liked. Which was, he thought to himself, maybe a little dumb. They may have known eachother only for about 3 months but at least he knew Axel on a personal level, not through a screen. Hell, when they met Scholar had no idea of who that handsome rocker boy was supposed to be. And now here he was trying to find an answer to something he should probably know the answer to better than Axel's fans. Not to throw shade at them or anything.

"Aaaaaghhhh!!" Subconsciously, Scholar let out a loud whine not realizing that his voice was louder than he intended it to be. "Shut up!! We can hear you from here!" It was Karolina in the room nextdoor. "I'm sorry!! ...ugh." Thankfully she didn't hear the "ugh" part not that it would change her opinion about him.

Scholar was just so lost: "what the hell can I gift to a rich handsome talented guy and not look like an idiot?!" Is what was going through his mind the whole day and it was already 11pm. Tomorrow was Axel's birthday and he still didn't find shit. He had never been good at finding gifts, the only person he gave them to was his dad and then again, it was only sometimes. The both of them weren't the type of people to worry about formalities such as Christmas or birthday presents. And when it came to "friends" it was about the same story.

Scholar put the phone down. It was stupid to worry over something like that. Being surrounded with rich, talented and sometimes famous people all day long Scholar swore to himself one thing. Don't be fake. Be sincere with those people. To be treated like anyone else is what they deserve.

And so Scholar searched for a gift idea again, but this time in his mind. He searched for an answer in his memories, through the small amount of time they had spent together. What does Axel like? It's not that hard. He already knew.

Scholar's mind was set: music, dogs and piercings. A hobby, an animal and accessories. Simple, but let's just go from the basics. "It's not like I can buy something expensive anyway..." His muttering was blocked out by his pillow, no matter what he would find, Scholar was just hoping that it would at least make Axel genuinely happy. Even just a little.

The next day went as expected: everyone was wishing Axel a happy birthday. He was getting occasional gifts from people he was close with and from people with whom he had never even talked to, or at least Scholar was pretty sure that he didn't. Even Tadashi went a bit soft on Axel.

"Not giving me detention for my late arrival today, Mister Student Body President?" Axel was over 15 minutes late which meant that he was deserving of a detention slip by usual à la Tadashi rules. "Go away before I change my mind you ugly ear-pierced clown." Axel was nodding and smirking all knowingly. "Uh-huh. Of course Sir, could I consider this lack of strictness towards me as my birthday present?"

Tadashi reached out for the detention form inside of his bag and took a pen in his hand ready to write Axel's name down and the reason why he got a detention slip. Axel backed away immediately. "Alright, alright! I'm sorry! Geez. Could you at least not threaten me with this shit on my birthday??" Tadashi put the pen back into his pencil case and smiled. "There you go. I knew you had some self-awareness behind your 3 kilograms of makeup and your millions of engagement rings you wear."

Axel frowned like a child. "I don't wear *that* many rings! Also, my makeup is super light!"

The rest of the day went on pretty smoothly, though Axel was probably wondering why Scholar didn't wish him a happy birthday. Whenever other people approached him to do so Axel would always peek at Scholar from the corner of his eye,  as if to say: "See?! It's my birthday today..."

Scholar felt secretly super giddy because of that. Axel was totally waiting for it. After the last school hour of the day he even came towards Scholar ""to say hi."" "Hey, Scholar!" "Hey there."

Silence.

"Um. So. Don't you have anything to tell me?" "Nu-huh." "You sure?" "Yup." Silence again. Axel looked down in such an adorable manner that Scholar felt almost like he was murdering a puppy. "Hm. Okay... See you tomorrow?" Scholar smiled as sweetly as he could to hint to the fact that they would see eachother again today. "Of course. Bye!"

After trying to sound as chill as he could, Scholar hurried himself into town. Blindly looking for a gift might be a bad idea but it's often this way that we find the best ones. Scholar was relying on his luck and intuition, he was storming through every single shop until he came accross something a bit silly that could do the job. It was in a small shop named "lying tiger" with a lot of useless gadgets. It was simple, cheap and adorable. Hopefully Scholar's intuition was right.

Upon seeing the gates of the school getting closer and closer as he was walking towards it, he decided to pull off the fastest sprint of his life. If Murdoc had seen him he'd be impressed.

After a couple of minutes Scholar was standing in front of Axel's room. "Okay.... No wait."

It was 7pm and the sun was already gone from a long time ago since it *is* November. Scholar was sweating as if he just ran a marathon, which... He kinda did. He muttered again. "Ugh. Good job, Scholar. Why did you have the bright idea to make yourself smell like a horse before-"

Voices from the hallway were heard, a couple of girls coming his way. Damn it. Alright. Scholar decided to at least make himself look good before coming back, he changed his clothes into something more casual but also charming. A bit of deodorant here and there, some perfume and done!

This time around he was ready, if it wasn't for his stress kicking in that is. He suddenly didn't feel as confident in his gift as a couple of minutes ago. Well, it was too late to change it anyway. Scholar took a deep breath and knocked. He waited there without moving nor breathing. As if until Axel would get out of his room, time had stopped.

Suddenly, the door flew open. The moment their eyes met Axel mockingly smiled. "Oh? You finally decided to come and wish me a happy birthday? Haha." Scholar had kept his hands behind his back but when Axel said that, he instinctively moved them to his front, revealing the package he was holding. Axel stopped smiling and his eyes widened in surprise. "Oh." Scholar was already happy with that reaction alone, even if he was unsure on whether or not Axel would like the gift. For a second, this felt like it was enough. "Yeah. I couldn't wish you a happy birthday without giving you a present, could I? Happy birthday, birthday boy!"

Axel carefully took the box into his hands, really gently, as if he could break it just by pressing his palms on it. "Thank you! But geez, you didn't have to. I was worried the whole day, you know? I thought that maybe you were mad at me for something."

He said that while pouting, it was so cute and worth the trouble. Scholar didn't regret his sprint and the whole day lost searching for the gift. "Haha! Of course not. Oh but don't shake the box, you might kill it. Also hurry up and open it, the lil guy needs light." Axel blinked a few times before following Scholar's advice, he tried to open the package as quickly as possible without damaging the wrapping. Needless to say that he wasn't being really successful.

"What do you mean?! Don't tell me it's a hamster or something! You know that we can't keep pets in the dorms, right? Tadashi is *so* gonna kill me if-" It wasn't an animal. Not a real one at least. "A... A toy?" It was a little puppy playing an electric guitar.

"Yup. It has buttons on his back, when you push them the doggo plays sick riffs for you. It has also light effects on the guitar." Axel looked at the toy with admiration. As if that dog made of plastic was a real puppy.

"Oh. My god. A puppy. Playing the guitar for me?!? This is the cutest and most precious gift I have gotten today!" "You like it?" "Are you kidding?! I love it! I'm gonna practice the guitar with him from now on! He's gonna be my little guitar buddy!"

Scholar felt so proud. So damn proud. It was a good call. It made him think about the fact that children often receive useful gifts from the adults rather than fun ones. There was always a craving for a new toy in a kid's heart rather than the need to get a new backpack or clothes. Scholar believed that every teenager in the world still had a child inside of them who would always secretly pass in front of a toy store while ogling at it but being too embarrassed to enter and take a look.

"I'm glad, to be honest I was a bit worried about it. I mean, you probably received a lot of pricey and more useful things today." By the time Scholar had said that, Axel already took the plastic puppy out of the box. "Excuse me? You think that there is something greater in the world than a doggo playing a guitar? Pathetic. And like I told you I'm gonna practice with this guy!"

"Uh. Don't you practice in the auditorium? What will you do when other people will see you hanging out with a toy?" Axel let out the loudest gasp of his life. "How *dare* you call my friend a toy?? Have you even heard him play?"

Axel pushed the button and some light effects emerged from the toy along with a guitar riff, so skillfully played that he felt almost ashamed when comparing himself to the dog. "Holy shit. This dog is better at playing the guitar than me..." Scholar laughed cheerfully, his laugh was followed by Axel's adorable giggle. "Well, I'm happy you like it. This way whenever you play the guitar, hopefully you'll think about me for a bit."

Axel tried to pull off the most flirty expression he could, the kind of stare that couldn't be mistaken for anything else. "Bold of you to assume that I don't think about you everyday, sweetheart." He would've been so persuasive... if it wasn't for the doggo made of plastic he was holding. Scholar couldn't keep it in any longer and laughed again. Needless to say that he was surprised when he noticed that Axel looked a bit hurt. "... Axel?" "That's so mean. I'm really trying so hard but it never gets through to you, you know?" Scholar's heart dropped into his stomach. "What?"

He heard that right, didn't he? What Axel said just now. As for Axel, in a matter of milliseconds he was already back to his usual smiling self, regretting what he had said. "Oh, haha! Whoops, that came out really wrong. Don't worry, I'm not upset for real. Um..." The hallway went silent and Scholar was really anxious. He felt as if he effed up big time. He was about to apologize and get it out in the open. The fact that he was actually really mortified at the thought of Axel disliking the gift. The fact that he had a crush on him for a little while now. The fact that he was a dumbass when it came to taking hints because he thought that Axel was like this with everyone. But before he could, Axel spoke again. "Don't make that face, you didn't do anything wrong. Look, let's hang out together soon. Just the two of us. Deal?"

Scholar wasn't so sure about the "you didn't do anything wrong" part, since he just noticed that Axel was in fact trying to flirt with him for a while now and he was constantly brushing it off while thinking that it was just his imagination wanting his feelings to be reciprocated. Scholar gulped, unable to say anything else other than: "Of course! Whenever you want, I'll be there."

Axel slowly closed the door... and immediately felt like the hugest moron of human history.

Because he knew. He knew that Scholar would never play dumb with something like that, he just genuinely did not think that he, Axel, could ever like him in that way. But now he knew. Axel just spelled it out for him loud and clear. Next time they see eachother there won't be any doubts in the way. Axel fondly looked at the puppy in his hands. "If only your previous owner knew how to take hints... Well, there's no going back now."

Axel pushed the button again and listened to the puppy's incredible guitar riffs for a while. Even hours and hours later, before falling asleep, he still couldn't get the image of Scholar's astonished face out of his mind when he finally realized what Axel felt towards him. Axel grinned. This kind of expression had no subtlety to it at all. Axel swore to himself.

The next time they see eachother he'll tell him clearly what he thinks, no hints, no silly pick-up lines. And then they'll kiss for sure.

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

Here it is! Sorry, the last part was so cheesy 😂. I apologize 🙏🙏 Most of this was written at 3am when I couldn't sleep, because obviously everybody knows that the best moment to write something is when you're supposed to be asleep /s

This has so many plot holes, like for example how is it possible that Karolina didn't beat Scholar's ass the next day for yelling in the middle of the night?? Or how come Tadashi was nice towards Axel for once? That's so OOC, absolutely impossible.

Anyway, Wikimedia is obviously Wikipedia and the "lying tiger" shop is actually "flying tiger" (Not sure if this shop exists in the US.)

Well, thank you for reading!

Milkshake date?

So the first time I wrote this tumblr crashed on me and everything was deleted. I was absolutely crying, tears rolling down my cheeks. The only thing keeping me sane is that I hope this is somehow better than the first one.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy, because this was my favorite to write. Two times.

Title: Chill Moves Words: 1,720

Cap’n opened the door to the diner, “welcome to my happy place!” he bowed. 

“I thought Comic-Con was your happy place?” Sweet questioned as he stepped inside.

“Welcome to one of my many happy places!” Cap’n corrected.

The doorframe was too low for the taller of the trio to walk in comfortably. Cakes ducked beneath. He tried to ignore the hit to his psyche as he was yet again reminded that he wasn’t as short as his partners. “Oh, wow~ !” he peeked around the room. “I’ve never been to a diner like this before.” Actually, Cakes had never been to a diner, ever. 

The diner was decorated in the classic 40s-style ice cream parlor. Red and white colored wallpaper, checkered flooring, old records hung on the wall, and there was even an old jukebox in the corner. Not to mention the colorful abstract art that seemed to be strawn about the place. Cakes took particular notice of the photo that had a chicken wearing sunglasses. That… didn’t fit the theme, but okay! Cool chicken art was appreciated anywhere!

"Dad an' I used to come here all the time!" Cap'n beamed. He glanced at the bar, looking for three open seats. “Then we’d go to the movies after and get some grub.” He spotted a set of open bar stools and grabbed his partners hands, pulling them up to the bar. “This place has the best milkshakes ever, totally. They got everything,” he yoinked three menus from the bin on the counter and slid them down.

Cakes took a seat between Cap’n and Sweet. 

"Oh, wait, wait, guys, watch this," Cap'n lowered the seat and crawled up, he pushed off the bottom rim as it spun up to its normal height. To stop the spin, Cap'n placed an elbow down on the counter and rested his head in his hand. "Come here often?" he winked.

Cakes giggled, "nope~ !" he played along. Cap'n leaned in, "would you like to?" Sweet rolled his eye, “c’mon guys, we’re in public.”

Cap'n stood up on the barstool, "says the guy who was all over K_K the day you guys started dating! Hypocrite!"

“I am not a hypocrite! I am aware of my surroundings!” “My ass!”

Cakes ignored their verbal back-and-forth, taking more interest in the menu. It didn’t really notice the arguing anymore, anyway. Though he didn't really think of them as arguments. They were more like... little tiffs. Nothing to be concerned about. Its eyelids dropped, there was never a reason to be concerned about those two.

“K_K, I’m not a hypocrite, am I?” Sweet placed both hands on their shoulder. “Well, I’m not a hypocrite, am I?” Cap’n repeated.

“Hmm…” Cakes tapped his chin, “I think… I want a Lemon-Key Lime Surprise.” 

An empty pause came from the two before Sweet responded. “Good idea, K_K! We should get our order figured out.” Cap’n leaned back and tapped Sweet’s shoulder, “you should totally try the Sunrise Mango, I think you’d really like it!”

“What’re you gonna get~ ?” Cakes asked. “I always get the Bluberry Cheesecake,” Cap’n smiled like he was proud. “They almost named it after me when I was a kid! Before, uh… stuff, happened.” Cap’n didn’t let the small drop in atmosphere last long. “You got the LKL Surprise? I wonder what they’ll put in it this time?”

Cakes hummed, “I hope it’s something sweet~ !” He loved sweet things as much as he loved the tart, acidic taste of lemons. The combination was just perfect! It balanced the tastes so well, the contrast somehow compliments each flavor in a different way. The sweet portion always being the first initial taste, followed by that sourness that was never overwhelming, it was always just right. It sometimes reminded him of… well, anyway, it was hard to not indulge. 

After ordering the trio only waited a few moments as the watched their milkshakes get made. Cakes’ was handed to the back before being brought back through. It narrowed his eyes, “(sneaky…)” Applying the ‘surprise’ from another room, huh? That wouldn’t stop him. They’d figure out what that surprise was. 

“You like it?” Cap’n asked excitedly to his partners. Sweet nodded as they took a spoonful of theirs, “you were right, this is rad.”

Meanwhile, Cakes had taken to inspecting theirs. There was no distinct smell, no abstract color… He hummed, he’d have to take a sip. The lemon hit his tongue first followed by the taste of the lime. “Mmm~ !” they took a big slurp up their straw. The tangy, zesty goodness was perfectly missed in with the milkshake’s consistency. Even the whip cream on top had soaked enough in for it to apply just a little coverage from the acidic taste, just enough for it to not be overpowering. And underneath all that… there was something else. 

Another slurp. There was something there… Another slurp. It was sweet… Another. But there was a bite to it… Another. What was it? It was right on his tongue.

"Woah, Cakes! Slow down, you're gonna give yourself a brain freeze!" Sweet warned. “Take it slow,” he added.

But that wouldn’t stop Cakes, “but I taste it. It’s right there, just one more.”

Another. Another.

“Woah, Cakes, you’re like, almost done with that,” Cap’n noted.

Another.

What the hell was that flavor he was tasting?

Anoth–

"Brain freeze!" Cakes immediately pushed the milkshake away. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" He gripped his forehead as the lights in his eyes began to flicker and glitch out. 

“I warned you,” Sweet rubbed his back as Cakes turned to Cap’n, pushing his face into his side. The cold covered every inch of Cakes’ mind, momentarily freezing not only the metaphorical brain but also the physical brain. His hearing would cut in and out, and seconds would pass where he couldn’t feel or see. It was like time travel but while stuck in a solid block of ice.

"C'mere, I can make it go away," Cap’n twisted the seat around. Cakes held his head, he couldn’t even hear what his partners were saying. Eventually, it would go away, but the lag hurt, it felt like his entire body was full of static. He just wanted it gone, to immediately evaporate and be freed from this eternal ice prison.

Soft, warm hands cupped the corners of his face, they pushed apart the grip on his forehead. Its vision still lagged behind the movements. Despite looking up, all he could see was the ground. Then he felt lips on his, gentle and chilly, but full of warmth. That warmth flushing to his cheeks, chasing away all the frigid cold. 

The world came into view as Cap’n leaned away, “all gone?” He smirked, leaning against the counter.

No thoughts. Head empty. 

"Wh-n d- did you learn th- that?" Cakes didn’t know if it was the lingering effects of the brain freeze or if it was just that shocked. Did… Did his Cap’n really do that?

"Learn what?" Cap'n smirked. "Th- That!" Cakes shouted, "that was- that was-" Sweet stood up, "that was smooth! Like, really smooth!"

Cap’n grinned, “I told you guys I had moves.”

While they spoke, Cakes couldn’t get the image of Cap’n’s features coming into view out of his head. Dazed, he turned to face the counter, staring at the top with eyes that looked a thousand miles away. Not only that, but he was absolutely starstruck. Its Cap’n wasn’t a player. Well, he was a cassette player, but he wasn’t a player-player. Did he do that on his own? Did he learn that somewhere? It was cute, it had been romantic, soft… He could taste the slight flavor of Cap’n’s milkshake still linger on his lips.

Cheeks flushed more, he suddenly felt intensely aware of how loud the beating in his chest was. Could Sweet and Cap’n hear it? Did they know? Who else could hear it? They couldn't bring themself to look around the room. They couldn't let their partners see them like this. In a puddle, all mushy over one kiss. Could they somehow play it off? No, it was too late. Everything was hot, his face was burning.

They’d kissed before, this wasn't anything new or more exciting than normal. So what was it? Why couldn't he think straight? Cap’n caught him guard, he hadn't expected that kiss. If he had known or seen it coming it would've been different. Oh gosh, was he actually this easily flustered? Or was it just because of Cap’n…? 

He took a small glance to the side, Cap’n didn’t even seem to notice how his little stunt had made it feel. 

Cakes couldn’t even place the exact feeling they were feeling. It’d never– It’d never been this lost for words before.

They needed to cool down, their face was too hot. They’d take their jacket off if it wasn’t being used as a shield to hide their face. 

He grabbed his milkshake and began drinking it continuously, eyes fixated on whatever was in front of him. 

“Slow down,” Sweet chided, “you’re gonna get another brain freeze,” he leaned his head down to meet Cakes’ face. Immediately Sweet sat up and turned from the others, hand over his speaker as he held back a laugh. 

Cakes seemed to shrink into themself.

Cap’n placed a hand on their shoulder, turning their chair to face him. “Cakes?” he asked, worried. “Hey, are you– ?” He placed a hand on Cakes’ face only to bring it back upon feeling the heat emitting from their partner.

Embarrassed eyes refused to meet his, instead focusing on the checkered flooring of the diner. Count the squares. Don’t look up. Why not? Cakes had never been shy before. If anything he was actively aware of how nonchalant he was when they would all flirt or kiss. This was just different. Why was it so different? He cowered more into the neck of his jacket. 

Sweet gasped for air as he laughed, banging his fist on the table. He’d never seen Cakes flustered before. And to think that their Cap’n did that! 

Cap’n also hid his face, a little embarrassed himself, “I didn’t know... I was that good,” he scoffed light-heartedly. “I, uh… hmm,” he faced away, taking a big gulp of his milkshake.

At least Cakes knew the surprise flavor now. Blueberry Cheesecake.

BnHA Chapter 282: Aizawa Defeeted

Previously on BnHA: Oh my god do we even care about that at this point. Tomura made a speech; Gran Torino died; Deku lost his shit and tried to strangle Tomura to death with his bare hands; Ryuukyuu came back from Wherever She Was and tried to grab Tomura but he punched a hole through her giant hand; and now he’s grabbing his Quirk-Be-Gone bullets and is ready to cause some mayhem okay?? That about sum it up?? Is anyone even reading this?? CAN WE JUST GET ON WITH IT I’VE WAITED AN ENTIRE WEEK.

Today on BnHA: Well I guess let’s start with what doesn’t happen: Bakugou doesn’t lose his quirk. HE LUCKED OUT!!... for now, anyways. Because, thanks to a near-impossible-to-predict series of events (seriously, raise your hands if you had “Aizawa gets shot but goes full World War Z on his own ass” on your bingo card), Tomura has seemingly regained his regeneration powers, which means that his other quirks are probably back online as well! So we’ll see how that all goes. Anyway so in the meantime Shouto’s back, looking very mad that everyone temporarily forgot he was a main character. And Gigantomachia is back as well! Or almost, anyway. Also, you’ll never guess who broke another one of his arms! Go on, guess. But at least he still has the arm, though, which is more than we can say for certain other people’s limbs. Poor Aizawa is literally on his last leg. He and Tomura really got off on the wrong foot. He chopped his leg off, is what I’m saying. It’s that kind of chapter folks.

you guys I’m losing my whole fucking mind. I straight up deleted the tumblr app off my phone for 24 hours so that I wouldn’t be tempted to log in and risk potentially being spoiled. and I’m happy to say that it worked! so here we are now, completely spoiler free, and let me just say that if Horikoshi decides to cut back to Gunga Mountain now, I will either cry for hours or abandon the series forever and go do something more productive with the rest of my quarantine like learning how to play sad songs on the guitar

all right. here goes

so we’re opening with Deku, who is currently comprised of 100% rage and 0% mercy, and is doing that thing where only the whites of his eyes are visible. and basically he’s just thinking “I’VE REALLY GOT TO HOLD ON TO THIS GUY AND MAKE SURE HE DOESN’T DO ANYTHING ELSE HOMICIDAL.” which is a solid game plan, but perhaps not so easily accomplished

-- oh my god this poor kid is still in denial, I can’t. why are you doing this

is there even still a Gran Torino to tend to at this point? after Tomura bulldozed a hole through his torso, and you went and finished the job with your own fucking attack? sob

but I guess the law of Tragic Shounen Mentor Deaths mandates that Gran’s should be at least as drawn-out as Nighteye’s was, though. so he’s probably only Mostly Dead, which is still Slightly Alive if I remember my Princess Bride correctly, and I think I do

so now the rest of these stooges are finally catching up with us here

yes, my friends. a bullet. WELCOME TO MY LIFE FOR THE PAST FUCKING WEEK. anyways I have a LOT of pent-up energy here just fyi. there may be a lot of unnecessary screaming in this recap

FUCKING WYOMING SMASH Y’ALLSSSS

I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED SOB. DID HE JUST HAMMER FIST TOMURA’S HEAD INTO THE GROUND. DID HE SNAP HIS FUCKING NECK AT 100%. IN AN IDEAL WORLD HE WOULD HAVE JUST CHOPPED TOMURA’S ARMS OFF WHILE SOMEHOW MANAGING TO AVOID BREAKING ANY OF HIS OWN BONES IN THE PROCESS, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THIS SITUATION WILL NOT BE RESOLVED IN ANY KIND OF MANNER ONE WOULD CONSIDER “IDEAL”

(ETA: fun fact: this attack did absolutely nothing except make things approximately 100x worse. but you tried Deku. you tried.)

THE FUCK KIND OF PORTENTOUS BULLSHITTING TITLE IS THIS. OH MY GOD, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT EMOTION I’M HAVING RIGHT NOW, IT’S JUST A LOT OF LOUD THOUGHTS

anyway so if you’re just joining us, Tomura just pulled two bullets out of his pocket, the good guys finally noticed, and then Deku did a smash and everything exploded. the radius of this attack actually looks wide enough to have potentially involved Aizawa, who probably does NOT want to get any debris in his eyes right now, and also Gran, who probably doesn’t particularly want to be hit by another deadly attack for the third time in the past ninety seconds. anyway so I guess what I’m trying to say here is WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT YOU LITTLE GREEN LUNATIC

AHHHHHH

he got the one!! the one that was in Tomura’s right hand!! but what about the one in his left ahhhhhhh

(ETA: lmao at Kacchan being the one to blow up the same bullet I was so sure he was going to be shot with. saw the writing on the wall, huh kid? what do we say to the god of foreshadowing?? ‘NOT TODAY.’ ...except that we’re still not actually out of the woods yet so you still better watch yourself lol.)

...

based on the font here, these are Tomura’s thoughts. which he is thinking immediately after getting the lower half of his jaw very painfully cronched by the VERY homicidal sixteen-year-old still clinging to him. anyway so Tomura’s thought processes are as inscrutable to me as ever lulz

and Deku’s arm looks broken again, yaaaaay. but at least it’s his left arm and not his right! so that’s nice. now they can match

[SHRIEKS]

HE YEETED IT. IT HAS BEEN YEETEDED. HE DID A YEET. [sobbing] he DiD a YeEt oH my GOD

DID IT HIT SOMETHING!?!?!?

my reading process here is as follows: 1) scroll down exactly one panel. 2) scream even though absolutely nothing has happened yet. 3) WRITE THAT DOWN 4) REPEAT

DKSFJLKHSDLGKHLI

DID IT HIT HIM!?!? DID IT GET HIM IN THE LEG SOB ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS. JUST LIKE THAT?? BOOM GUN BULLET LEG!!?

YOU GUYS IT REALLY HIT AIZAWA AND NO ONE DID A GODDAMN THING?? it wasn’t even drawn out or anything??? it just HAPPENED, within like four pages??? NO SLOW MO?? NOT EVEN A REACTION PANEL WHAT THE FUCK

son of a bitch I would so dearly like to grab Manual and RockLockRock’s heads right now and just conk them together real hard. YOU STUPID FUCKS sob YOU HAD ONE JOB!!! IT REALLY WAS JUST ONE!! AND YOU WERE SHARING IT!! SO IT’S MORE LIKE HALF A JOB!! AND YOU STILL COCKED IT UP IN ABSOLUTELY NO TIME AT ALL OH MY GOD

(ETA: they should blow this panel up and make it into a t-shirt and make Manual and RLR wear the shirts every day for the rest of their lives. half a job, you guys. please go away I cannot even look at you right now.)

FUCK MY EVERYTHING

(ETA: I still can’t figure out if this horrific angle is due to the earlier damage from the Noumu, or if Tomura really just flung the bullet THAT hard. honestly I’m surprised it didn’t just slice right through him with that kind of velocity. “no thanks because then I wouldn’t get to write a scene where he chops his own leg off” oh okay well when you put it that way, Horikoshi.)

if I recall correctly this is the leg that he said was “twisted”, no? yeesh. might just want to chop it off real quick, then. s’not like it’s doing you any more good. does anyone know if zombie rules apply or not with this sort of thing?? shit

?!?!

“THANKS”?? okay what. did it hit him or not??

-- oh my god WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT

I WAS -- I WAS JOKING I -- FFFFFFFFKJK

jesus fucking christ. when I said “might just want to chop it off real quick” literally FOUR PARAGRAPHS AGO, I can tell you that the one thing I did NOT expect was for Aizawa to be all, “you know what, that’s a good idea”, and then YOINK OUT HIS TRUSTY HERO SHANK AND GO FULL 127 HOURS ON THIS BITCH. "LALALA WE’RE GONNA DO IT RATIONALLY TEEHEE” like excuse me, the fuck

anyways. I don’t even know what to say. thank you Aizawa’s leg for your sacrifice, and for always supporting him. literally. oh my god I came here ready for my son to enter a new phase of character development, and for the manga as a whole to enter a new phase of glorious, glorious angst. no one told me I’d be sitting here making puns instead. what a fine, confusing day

anyway though let’s just fucking hope it worked. and side note, if Aizawa Shouta really did chop off his own fucking leg just now and somehow STILL managed not to fucking blink, I think we might as well just go ahead and hand him the Biggest Badass In The Series award right now because no one is ever going to top that. nope. not happening

it is truly a testament to Shigaraki Tomura’s unfathomably mysterious sexy villain energy that he still somehow manages to look hot with only half a face

also no one in this manga actually feels pain, do they. not Deku, not Aizawa, not Tomura, no one. no wonder none of them have any self-preservation instincts to speak of

um

did someone just randomly explode just now. at this point it might as well happen, right

oh it’s the shockwave from Deku’s Wyoming attack, apparently. how nice of it to have a delayed reaction for absolutely no reason

anyway so Deku’s being flung back, but he’s grabbing onto Tomura again with Blackwhip. but oh shit you guys, if Tomura escapes Deku and Ryuukyuu’s clutches and still has any bullets left in his pocket, we may still be able to salvage this Bakugou quirk situation after all. would be nice to be able to actually do something with all of these “happy quirk losing day” balloons that I ordered

(ETA: actually, believe it or not I honestly like this better. Tomura using AFO was always the more dramatic option anyway. and now that we’ve done the bullet thing everyone has presumably let their guard down again, which, good.)

I love how Tomura apparently hasn’t noticed that Aizawa’s just amputated his own leg? to be fair he’s probably distracted by all the explosions and such

also gotta love how Deku’s arm-breaking attack seemingly just made everything worse for no reason. and also how Manual and RockLockRock are once again just standing there doing absolutely nothing

SO NOW GUESS WHAT’S HAPPENING

I MEAN IT! GUESS. BECAUSE YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE LOL

OH WELL OKAY THEN

just like we all saw coming!! ...

so is this Endeavor’s attack?? Bakugou’s?? either way, hot damn. fortunately for Tomura he is apparently operating under the same guidelines as the U.S. Federal Reserve, in which mutilated bills may still be exchanged at face value if more than 50% of a note identifiable as United States currency is present. basically as long as roughly half of him is still vaguely Tomura-shaped I assume he’ll be fine

(ETA: in hindsight I should have immediately been able to identify this as a Shouto attack based solely on how murdery it was lol.)

OH MY GODDDD

KRANCH?!?

OH MY GOD LOL WHAT. LOL. REMEMBER EVERYONE’S THEORIES FROM LIKE TWENTY YEARS AGO LOL. SHOUTO WHAT THE FUCK. DID YOU STOP FOR DRIVE THRU

AND MEANWHILE DEKU’S BACK ON THE SCENE GIVING ARGUABLY EVEN LESS FUCKS THAN BEFORE, IF SUCH A THING IS EVEN POSSIBLE. SO FAR THIS CHAPTER HAS PRECISELY ZERO THINGS THAT I ACTUALLY EXPECTED IN IT, WHICH IS VERY IMPRESSIVE

IT ALSO HAS A LOT OF SMASHING

a LOT. of smashing, guys. feels like... 60% smashing, 20% severed legs, 20% Kranch

-- oh no oh SHIT oh shit oh shit

(ETA: um so I really can’t tell how far that wound extends and whether or not Aizawa still has his right eye, shit.)

first of all how did Deku get here next to Aizawa when he was just over there with Tomura, what. and second, I think Aizawa just blinked, oh shit. probably on the verge of passing out after CHOPPING HIS OWN LEG OFF which STILL hasn’t been acknowledged yet?? did I just completely misinterpret all of that back there or what

(ETA: there was seriously so little attention called to this that I scrolled back up to confirm it probably like half a dozen times. apparently Horikoshi thinks that THE MOST BADASS THING TO EVER HAPPEN IN THE MANGA should be completely downplayed. whereas if it were me, there’d be an entire two page spread of JUST THE LEG. WITH MUSIC PLAYING. EVEN THOUGH IT’S A MANGA.)

YEPPPPPPP. fuck

look at him though. he’s so happy. this is why I can’t stay mad at you no matter how deranged you get you little maniac

so is quirk-stealing back on the menu then or what. don’t think I’ve been lulled into any kind of false sense of security by any of this lol

-- ARE WE SERIOUSLY CUTTING AWAY

so Todoroki really went after them ALONE. the better to put his dad right back up at the top of the Lose Your Quirk Sweepstakes finalists. well... second-to-top, maybe. like I said I will not be lulled

yuh-oh

why do I feel like the odds of Gigantomachia arriving to herald the end of this chapter just shot up DRAMATICALLY

so the next page is almost entirely just a list of cities that the news anchor is telling people to evacuate because they’re in Machia’s path. along with a bunch of dead heroes lying around everywhere, and Ochako being all ominous

(: weren’t they, though? heh. this is going to be so, so bad (: (: (:

-- fuuuuuuuuuuu

aaaaaand that’s it. hahahaha. okay then let’s summarize

Bakugou defied all expectations and kept his quirk (FOR NOW)!

Aizawa cut his own fucking leg off and it WASN’T EVEN REMOTELY ACKNOWLEDGED FOR REASONS I CAN’T UNDERSTAND (R.I.P. AIZAWA’S PRECIOUS LEG. YOU ALWAYS PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD)

Kranch showed up after 157 years and is probably wondering why the heck I keep calling him “Kranch” now. THINGS CHANGE WHEN YOU’RE MIA FOR A WHILE MY LITTLE STARBUCKS CHRISTMAS CUP

Deku broke his arm for the 78th time

Tomura regenerated but seems to think Aizawa’s quirk is actually gone for good, which I’m pretty sure it’s not. so if they can keep him from destroying everything long enough for Aizawa to turn it back on again, we might possibly still survive this

and lastly, Machia is about to kill all of these stupid people frolicking around outside of this fitness club who are probably so proud of themselves for not being glued to their phones 24/7 because they prefer to LIVE LIFE IN THE MOMENT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. well that’s on you my friends. at least it’ll be a quick death. ffff

Yugioh Ep33 S4 pt 2: The Best Storyboarder Came Back Just so They Could Draw Tristan Getting Hit in the Nuts

OK lets just get to the good stuff.

God bless you, storyboarder.

(read more under the cut)

The team has entered the Atlantis lair of Dartz, which is also accessible through Paradius in San Fransisco, but youknow...we don’t have magic so it’s not like we could’ve skipped like 10 minutes and just done that instead of the helicopter escape, the Military moment, and the ride through a hurricane.

Oh wait, we do have magic, that’s right...well...for now, pretend we don’t.

Enjoy the snakes.

Strangely, Kaiba does not feel comfortable with the snakes, when snakes really just a smaller and cuter dragon. I love snakes. Never owned one...but I trust em.

Dartz has the Yugioh “old guy” aesthetic of “We just really like yellowed sandstone”

I get that they want this place (and also Yami’s house) to look like a tomb so there won’t be any paint on the wall but this is just a pet peeve of mine that Ancient times freakin loved garish colors on the wall in layers and layers of patterns and yet in fiction we never show that.

But...it doesn’t go with the vibe. I’ll let it go because it would absolutely ruin the vibe to have a bunch of swirly stuff in neon orange and green.

Before we have a chance to grab a step stool and just kinda yoink Yugi Muto, Dartz shows up, and this shot happens.

I couldn’t not grab a cap of that. I mean...look at it. It is SO HARD to foreshorten hands so it looks right and then bam they just did that. It’s just...

...I’ve been breaking down foreshortening in Yugioh shots for a while now trying to figure out why when I do it, it looks like a busted huge hand, but when they do it, it looks really good, and I’m starting to realize that maybe it’s more than just stacking but also...the composition?

You can’t really look at this picture as a whole. The hand is such a strong focal point that you must start there, and then follow down the arm to the face. I think when I do these foreshortening shots I make the hand the same weight as the face, and that’s my downfall. You gotta let the composition force the viewer to slow down and take time in order for the optical illusion to happen...maybe? I’m like over 30 now, you’d think I’d figure this out by now.

Whatever, that’s another post.

So like...what happened to those two people who used to be there????

And now prepare thyself for my lazy math. I know this math is bad. For people out there who feel like working out the geometric growth and calculate just how many souls Dartz slurps up--feel free to tell me. If I like the explanation, I will adjust the Death Count to match it. It’s just too 2020 for me to do more than multiplication at the moment.

Did I count how many people would have existed 10,000 years ago? no. Did I account for plagues? No. Like this math of 4 a day is bad...but eh it’s all I got right now in my mental ammunition.

Something that we did think about was...

Why not slurp up the Pharaoh soul when Yami was still alive? Like we assume the puzzle existed in the past but like...did Yami not get superpowered until Yugi woke him up? Was he in fact useless until he got a little bit of a battery charge during Season Zero when he was dumping people off of bell towers?

And like I get not knowing about the underground Ishtars, and not being able to get a hold of Shadi because Shadi is a lazy ghost, but Bakura was RIGHT THERE. You can’t munch up Pegasus off screen and then say “eh but Bakura’s kinda low tier” we know for a fact that Bakura is not...so like...there must have been some copyright situation where they couldn’t use certain characters. This is a filler arc--but it would have been nice to have at least some explanation as to why it took Dartz so long to finally murder the hell out of Pharaoh.

Which is me expecting way too much out of this show. Just something I was really hoping would get addressed but leave it for the headcanon.

It’s at this point that Mokuba realized he’s standing on top of people.

A crypt made out of human souls! Crazy, usually we’re in a crypt made out of one single human soul....and both of these crypts have Yugi in it.

In Raphael’s storyline, he’s been busy just cleaning up after everyone else. It’s supposed to come off as very serious but I was totally busting up when he’s just dropping bodies into the back of this jeep.

And in the Kaiba Corp plotline, Roland is anxiously wondering if he should be a Dad and save the kids or if he should be a dog and stay in the plane.

He stays in the plane.

Strangely this was the right call. (And this is why Roland has never died)

So they start throwing around cards, as you do, and Dartz puts down his Orichalcos, has he does, when suddenly...they started seeing stuff again. Can’t have a single card game without it.

So the Orichalcos is just a backstory device? For reals?

Something I alluded to quite a few episodes back with Valon was just...wondering why the hell the Orichalcos crew had so much freakin magic as to make all these visions during duels. Turns out...it’s just a thing to occasionally trip on Oricalchos juice. I’m not sure why we never had a vision with Mai, Weevil, Rex, or Gurimo, but at least we now know that Raphael and Valon weren’t as magical as I thought they were.

So we’re in like...outer space. Kind of the last place you’d expect out of ancient Atlantis and Dartz isn’t having ANY OF IT.

And honestly that makes sense. Imagine giving someone 10,000 years ago the run down on outer space. They’d freak. They’d definitely think you’re talking about demons.

If space is an elaborate analogy, we don’t know that yet. For how this is presented, it’s just an old man hootin and hollerin about how much space sucks, and I love that.

PS how anime is this shot of the earth behind the orichalcos symbol and the dude in the middle with the ass length blue hair--really damn anime, right?

Like at least one of you has this wall hanging, right?

For those that are too tired to look it up, Pangea was 280-230 million years ago.

THAT REALLY CHANGES MY MATH.

AND I’M TOO TIRED.

So my thoughts are...either the math is wrong and I’ll fix it eventually in post, depending on my mood come next Wednesday, OR...humanity was deleted and then came back later??? (because the dawn of mankind was 7 million years ago)

OR...

They just felt like drawing Pangea 10 million years ago. Maybe that’s all. Maybe I don’t have to fix anything. I dunno.

Maybe this isn’t Earth.

Maybe Yugioh Earth never had Loma Preita because it isn’t actually Earth. And, like a Final Fantasy situation, is a second planet on a parallel plane of our own?

Either way, I’m not redoing the math because I actually don’t know how to change it anymore. I’m v undecided of the timeline now......maybe the next episode will tell us more? (I doubt this very much)

RIP deathcount.

Yo Atlantis!

I have a lot of questions!

About Atlantis!

And the purpose of the aqueduct going the wrong direction.

Is that in fact the poop shoot?

But wtv it looks neat.

So anyway, that’s all for now, I hope you enjoyed my bad math, and I hope you enjoy your Halloween. Ours is a whole lot of nothing. I’ll be watching lots of Phasmaphobia streams while eating Butterfingers that I legally can’t give to children because it’s an epidemic (butterfingers is like the last candy that my old 30 yo ass can handle without passing out or gagging. Weird how getting older makes me hate all the good things I couldn’t eat when I was younger because I was too young to be allowed to eat them.) and that’s about it.

WHY did Halloween finally fall on a Saturday DURING an epidemic? I only get so many Saturday Halloweens in my youth...just why.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were captivating, luring him in with that small sweet grin of yours paired with a mischievous gleam, he couldn't resist. You seemed mysterious, like an enigma, he couldn't wrap his head around it but his heart constantly ached for more. You were dangerous for him, everything about you seemed to tug chords in his chest that had long be forgotten. No one had made him feel so vulnerable before. Now his heart was captured by you, taking his time and placing his heart gently into your hands. Letting your previous so called "casual" relationship crash down and turn into something more.

Opening the sliding glass door that reached to the porch, he was instantly met with a cold breeze goosebumps littering his bare arms, eyes catching the beautiful sight of you smoking a cigarette. Reaching down he grabbed your cold hand kissing it, sending a playful look back at the man who bewitched your heart, giving him a big warm smile. The two of you sat together, wrapping each ones arms over the other, watching the twinkling lights that flickered in the city.

Eren remembers the first time he noticed that you l liked him back, you and him just had sex that you both kept saying to yourselves was just "casual", but when you sat across from him in the small diner booth, he couldn't help but notice how you looked at him. Your sweet lips curled into a smile, eyes glimmering with affection, you reached a hand out to him cupping his own and warming it instantly. A new emotion pooling in his chest, one look into your eyes and Eren could feel his cheeks tint red in embarrassment. Afraid you could see right into his heart.

But, now sitting with you hearing the steady rhythm of your heart beat, he couldn't help but watch your face. Eyes shinning from the street lights, the warm glow spreading across your face after you took a puff, bites and hickeys trailing down your neck reaching your collarbones. He truly was happy, he loved when you were just with him no one else in way.

But no matter how much he loved you, the cold winter wind still nipped at his exposed skin, sitting up slowly to go inside and grab a blanket for you both. But, a small hand grasping his wrist pulled him back down, right down next to you. You're puppy eyes looking back up at him a small pout forming on your lips.

"Stay with me."

Those three simple words from you sent him falling down a deep blissful hole filled with love, he stretched his arm around your shoulder letting your head rest against his chest. The low hum you let out letting him know you were content with the position you two were in. Looking up at Eren you see his pretty face, lit slightly from the dim lights, brown hairs resting erratically against his cheeks, his lips were bruised and pink and so were yours, but nonetheless you were happy to stare at such a serene view.

His eyes left the city before him, your restless stare pulling him out of his calm thoughts, staring back down at your face. Astounded wouldn't even began to describe what he felt when looking at you, face glowing in the dark light, hair pulled back giving you an almost angel look, Eren was in awe over how simply beautiful you could be at any given moment.

Kissing you softly on your lips, relishing in the feeling of you on him, letting his mind sense the taste of your mouth, the subtle smell of your perfume. He wanted to give you all his love, have you touch him with a gentle kiss, your touch was so sweet and heavenly. You wanting him all the same, the sensation of his skin on yours sent chills up your spine.

Even these small moments the two of you couldn't help but cherish, both feeling like you couldn't live without each ones love inside them. Him just watching you watch the city, he couldn't stop but play each thought he had of you inside his head over and over. The recurring visions he had of you from past sweet days, picturing the way the sun sat perfectly on your face, or how your laugh filled an entire room from his one measly joke.

He could feel a unfamiliar burning sensation in his throat, wet tears brimming his lash line falling carelessly to his soft cheeks. A familiar warm hand gripped around the back of his neck, your face filled with concern aligning with his in an instant.

"What's the matter baby", the love dripping from your every word, the sight and feeling of you was enough to send Eren into a crying blubbering mess. This was the first time he had cried in awhile, he was never good at expressing his emotions, but you made him so so damn vulnerable that he fell apart in your arms.

Unable to give you a proper explanation, you comfort Eren rubbing a hand on his back, brushing his hair in continues strokes letting him sob on your chest. Eren felt gross with himself, his snot dripping from his nose the tears he was leaving on your chest, you probably found him disgusting. But when he looked up to see your face once more, it was filled with nothing but concern and tenderness.

"Are you feeling better now?" Eren gave you small nod still resting his head on your chest, he was breathing in and out slowly calming down with your touch and comforting words. "I was just... thinkin bout' how much I love you".

That wasn't what you were expecting, the sudden fondness hitting your chest heartbeat quickly picking up. The man who you held so much adoration and passion for was crying over his love for you, not a cry in a bad way but tears that held so many beautiful emotions. Your own tears quickly pushed past your lashes, a hand covering your mouth to keep the cry from coming out.

"What's wrong (y/n), is...is it what I said", the insecurity leaking through his words made you quickly pull yourself together. Quickly shaking your head over and over, placing both of your hands on his chest.

Now it was Erens turn to comfort you, his head rising off your chest pulling you into his warm strong arms. He didn't want his sudden explosion to be too much for you, trying to rub your arms in the same comforting way you did.

"What's wrong (y/n), is...is it what I said", the insecurity leaking through his words made you quickly pull yourself together. Quickly shaking your head over and over, placing both of your hands on his chest.

"Nono, course not babe. I just love you s'much."

And with that Erens heart was quickly filled again.

The cold winter breeze not even affecting the two of you anymore. Just staring into each other's eyes was enough to warm your chests.

You loved each other, and that's all what mattered. Loving, touching, breathing each one in. Days could go by but neither of you would be bored with ones touches.

Loving each other truly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Yoinks it’s super late or I guess early so sorry if this suck🏃‍♀️ MY LAST STROTY DELTED ITSELF AND IM SO MAD ABOUT IT. Kay I calmed down, you get this trash:) SORRY! But likeeee kinda cute ehhhh?)

[synthient]

Okay lol I’m never gonna write this out in story form, so here’s a rough outline of the Failed Takeover AU:

- As in canon, Seto tries to take over Kaibacorp on his 15th birthday, via a plan that involves making everyone (including Mokuba) think he hates Mokuba.

- In a divergence from canon, the plan falls apart.

- Mokuba doesn’t burst into the conference room just in time to offer Seto his shares. Maybe he was too busy having a “I’m 9 and I guess my brother-parent hates me now” breakdown; maybe he assumed that Seto was infallible and wouldn’t need his help anyway; maybe one of Gozaburo’s followers gave him the wrong date/time/location for the meeting; maybe some combo of all of the above.

- As it turns out, hinging your entire plan on someone you didn’t explain the plan to (and went out of your way to alienate) is not, perhaps, the best idea!

- Gozaburo is like “Okay, great, this solves my ‘would stealing a child’s body or leaving my own child in an eternal virtual purgatory make me more profit?’ dilemma. Let’s lock the kid in his room while I get the brain upload ready.”

- Seto may not know about Noah and the Virtual World, but he knows that Gozaburo’s about to make his life a living hell. And he’s internalized his lessons better than Gozaburo intended.

- He knows what a loser deserves.

- Gozaburo’s henchmen don’t break down the door fast enough to stop Seto from attempting  suicide, but they do manage to rush him to a doctor fast enough to save his life. Gozaburo is furious (how dare this brat damage his property), and has Seto forcibly hospitalized until his body has recovered enough for the upload.

- Mokuba is barred from visiting Seto during the recovery period. He’s terrified, guilt-ridden, convinced this is all his fault. And Seto wouldn’t…he couldn’t…Gozaburo has to be lying about the suicide attempt! It’s all a fake cover up for something horrible that must be going on! (he’s half right)

- As soon as Seto heals, he gets shunted into the Virtual World and Noah takes his place. Gozaburo would prefer to delete Seto’s file, tie up the loose end. But Noah insists on keeping him around–“He took everything from me. Now I want to take everything from him, and I want him to watch.”

- That includes, of course, the thing that mattered most to Seto–his little brother (another loose end that Gozaburo would rather have quietly disposed of). Noah tries to pass himself off as a Seto who’s recovered, learned his lesson, is appropriately contrite about being so ungrateful and causing so much trouble for the man who pulled him out of the gutter, and is ready to spend some quality time with Mokie!

- It’s not convincing. At all. But Mokuba plays along while he tries to figure out what’s really going on (Is Seto mad at him and being passive aggressive? Is he faking cheerfulness because he’s being watched? Has he been threatened? Brainwashed? Stepford Wive’d?)

- Eventually, Mokuba overhears some conversation between Gozaburo and Noah that reveals the truth. Horrified and filled with even more crushing guilt, he flees the Kaiba manor with his life, but isn’t able to take Seto’s consciousness with him. He vows to find a way to save his brother.

- After spending some time living on the streets, dodging Gozaburo’s search efforts, and [hacker voice I’m in]-ing for intel, Mokuba starts to hear whispers about some kind of teen vigilante. They say he’s been going around Domino, punishing wrongdoers with a magic necklace. And Mokuba knows some wrongdoers who need punishing…

- Mokuba tries and fails to steal the Puzzle. It goes about like the Capumon Chess chapter.

- Meanwhile: one Maximillian Pegasus has been hearing the most intriguing rumors that the CEO of Kaibacorp has found a way to resurrect his son. Pegasus starts looking into ways to take over Kaibacorp and get his hands on the Virtual World tech.

- Mokuba finds out about the new takeover plan (by [hacker voice I’m in]-ing I2) and contacts Pegasus. He offers insider info on Kaibacorp…for a price.

- Mokuba is flown out to Duelist Kingdom to meet with Pegasus. He explains that Gozaburo had a scan of Noah’s brain made before he died, and without a brain scan, the process won’t work (when he finds out about Cynthia, Mokuba genuinely feels sorry for Pegasus. He knows what it’s like to lose someone you love).

- Pegasus muses that if he gathered all seven Millennium Items, he could open the door to the afterlife, and he might be able to scan Cynthia’s mind/soul that way. Mokuba is like “Huh. Now that you mention it, I think I’ve met someone with a Millennium Item >:3”

- The Duelist Kingdom tournament happens. Mokuba becomes one of Pegasus’s Eliminators, under the agreement that once Pegasus takes over Kaibacorp, he’ll save Seto and use the Eye to give Gozaburo a penalty game.

- Mokuba challenges Yugi and Atem to a rematch. At some point during the duel, they mention fighting “for Grandpa’s sake,” and Mokuba’s like “…wait, what?”

- It turns out Pegasus never mentioned the whole soul-stealing/blackmail part of the plan to Mokuba. Mokuba feels betrayed and has a crisis of loyalty. Taking someone’s mind from their body…it hits too close to home.

- The Friendship Gang invites Mokuba to spend the night with them by the campfire. Mokuba explains why he keeps challenging Yugi, and what happened to Seto. He offers to help Yugi get his grandpa back, and Yugi promises that they’ll do whatever they can to help his brother once everything’s over.

- Mokuba helps them make their way to Pegasus, but soon as Pegasus finds out Mokuba has turned on him, he steals Mokuba’s soul. Yugi duels to save both him and grandpa.

- Then Bakura yoinks the Eye out of Pegasus’s socket. The good news: without the Eye’s influence, Pegasus feels bad about everything and wants to help Mokuba to make up for it. The bad news: without the Eye, he can’t take out Gozaburo with shadow magic.

- Atem has been feeling guilty about his s0 antics, and he was planning to give up shadow games for good, but Mokuba begs him to do just one more. The gang starts figuring out how they’re going to go about storming Kaibacorp.

- In the meantime, Yugi invites Mokuba to stay with him and Grandpa. They set up an air mattress in the game shop basement (it’s the first time Mokuba has had a stable roof over his head in months, and the first time he’s had a real, competent, well-meaning adult looking after him in…a long time).

- After a couple weeks of planning, they put their Ocean’s 11 rescue scheme into action: Pegasus remotely takes out the security tech; Atem sneaks off to Let’s Play A Game =) with Gozaburo; the rest of the friendship gang kidnaps Noah-in-Seto’s-body and drags him to the Virtual World port; and Mokuba goes into the Virtual World to find Seto and swap his consciousness with Noah’s.

- The big Kaibro reunion has finally arrived. Mokuba bursts in and goes “Seto! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, but everything’s gonna be okay, we’re getting you out of here, let’s hurry, c’mon—” And Seto stares at him in dead-eyed silence before going “…you’re not real, are you.”

- How has Seto spent the last year or so?

Disassociating

Falling into an abyss of guilt (this was my stupid plan. this is all my fault. what happened to Mokuba? did I get him killed? did he die thinking I hated him?)

“I lost I’m weak I’m a failure why am I still here” spiraling

Contemplating his loss of autonomy (both in terms of literally losing his body, and in terms of his suicide attempt and the ensuing fallout/forced hospitalization)

Getting periodically tormented by Noah

Disassociating some more

- So while the plan works—the consciousnesses are successfully swapped, Atem wins his shadow game, Kaibacorp falls apart with its CEO in a permanent coma & Pegasus swoops in to buy out the pieces (which comes with a free Noah save file. Pegasus: “Hm. Guess I’ve adopted this undead 10-year-old bastard tamagotchi.”)—Seto is…obviously not in a good mental place. He’s pretty much gone into a total shutdown. (It takes a while for him to believe the rescue was even real, and Noah isn’t still playing games with him in the Virtual World)

- Grandpa tells Mokuba, “Of course you and your brother are welcome to stay for as long as you need.”

And everything else I imagined was just...recovery/hurt-comfort vignettes, with some Butterfly Effect versions of Battle City/Doma/Memory World thrown in  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[wayward-wren]

Alright! I descovered that my flat has ice-cream in the freezer so time for a bowl of ice-cream and Empire Strikes Back. It's been roughly... five? maybe even eight years since I've last seen this it's gonna be great!

Once again. The opening. So many memories associated with these movies and the opening crawl brings me right back.

Ngl, tauntauns are one of my favourite creatures. We had the Hoth base in lego so maybe having a lego version of one added to that

Oh rip tauntaun

Leia's Hoth outfit is great

Tbh all of her outfits are great.

Han slapping a hand over 3PO's mouth amuses me greatly

Man I forgot how much of this movie I've forgotten.

And I think Wampa's arm is the third arm removal of the trilogy so far?

Lol rip Mark Hamill wandering around in a blizzard while the crew film him from inside the hotel.

Tauntaun noises are great

Oh noooo Chewie when the door closes with Han and Luke still out there no bby he's so saaaad

Rip second Tauntaun

I still can't get over the fact that Han full on put Luke into a dead Tauntaun. I don't think I'll ever be over it

Oop there's the kiss. Luke looks so smug afterwards wow.

I want a hug from Chewie he looks like he gives good hugs.

Hm random headcanon/story idea that the Hoth base was found/started by the Bad Batch and maybe Echo died whilst securing it or something idk and that's why it's called Echo Base.

I love how the AT-ATs just explode once they get knocked over, like they hadn't been too armoured to be damaged before

I forgot how much I love Han. Honestly all three of the main OT trio are so good.

Yoda!!! Honestly feral swamp gremlin Yoda is my favourite

Hmm I feel like Han is almost a little too aggressive in his flirting with Leia. And I know it's been talked about before, but Leia had barely shown any romantic interest in him before & he keeps pushing and then kisses her and it just doesn't sit entirely right. I do still love them, but mmm

Oh hey its ol' Shady Sheev.

Aw poor R2 left out in the rain

Rockin', rockin' and rollin', down to the beach Yoda was strollin'

Han just shoots the ground to test his hypothesis about the big space worm what an idiot I love him

Run, run run run, I can be a backpack while you run.

Honestly I feel like the weird slow-mo of the degobah cave scene always weirded me out more than the actual content of it, I've always been bad at recognising faces so it took me a while to realise it was supposed to be Luke's face in the helmet.

Oh yeah the bounty hunters!! Boba my boy!!

I love all the snakes and reptiles just chilling in the background on the degobah set.

Honestly shout out to that dude who took the blame for losing the Falcon knowing what would happen he's a real team player.

Man I completely forgot Slave I was in the released garbage and it made me excited to see it.

Lando!

Rip 3PO just getting exploded tho

"Luke I don't want to lose you to the Emperor like I lost Vader" oof my heart

"There is another" honest I wanna see more force sensitive Leia. AU where Luke turns to the darkside and Leia has to become a Jedi to fight him

Cloud city is really cool tho

Why is Chewie frantically rescuing 3PO's parts making me so sad?

Han i n s t a n t l y firing at Vader is iconic

Chewie keeps making me saaaaad

I'm honestly so glad Lucas was talked out of killing Han, the carbonite scene was painful enough even knowing what happens

Leia said "it's a trap" before it was cool

Boba's voice was bugging me because it was too close to Temuera Morrison so I googled it and turns out yeah, they replaced his voice in 2004, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. Makes sense in universe but I kinda wanna see it like it was when the movie was first released. Anyway shout out to Jason Wingreen, the OG Boba voice

Ice cream maker guy! What a legend.

I have seen the big reveal so many times its legitimately lost all meaning to me ngl

Vader: join me. Luke: *yeets into the void*. Vader: oh huh guess that works too? Bye?

Everyone standing on the bridge being very still as Vader walks out when they lose the Falcon amuses me

It has been far too long since I watched that movie last! Twas really good to revisit!

Deleted scenes time!

Is Boba's name only mentioned in this one deleted scene? I feel like it is, at least in this movie

I'm giggling at the description of this one: Luke and Leia share a rare, quasi-romantic moment together in Hoth - well before their kinship is established in Return of the Jedi. Luckily, R2-D2 makes a well-timed interruption.

R2 be like "Oh man no I gotta stop this they're siblings!" cos he knows. (I'm pretty sure he knows at least? Honestly at this point I just assume R2 knows as much as I do)

I like this scene apart from the random Luke/Leia almost kiss, Leia being all riled up and feeling like she can't count on anyone cos both Luke and Han are leaving adds a fun aspect to her character

Ehehehe the best deleted scene, the wampa yoinking the snowtrooper after 3PO removed the sign to the door and then Vader walking up and just looking so disappointed. I'm disappointed we don't have sound for that.

FYI, Tumblr algorithms have been yoinking and deleting a lot of my posts, including anon submissions. So I'm turning off anon for a minute. Accusations and praise alike please log in, or actually just Message me until I figure this out, I'm tired. It's almost like I have female presenting nipples in my ask box.

Also, if you want to submit anon asks about fandom discourse, I'm not going to answer because I'm in a bad head space to have discourse.

To the Anon saying I lied about something a creator genuinely said back in the 1990s and recently said a different thing that I respect, and that I am now somehow spreading misinformation so I can uhh use it in some niche fandom agenda that nobody cares about but my replies keep getting deleted: You're being more annoying than my own brain on a bad day when alters take over. Just log in, send me a message, and expose my failings so we can get this done.

My agenda is to refill my Cymbalta and try to finish Chapter Five of that one fanfic, the chapter that's going to be about "watching different realities in which horrific things happened because psionics might get out of control". I could use assist from fellow writers, I'm having a hard time. But seriously.
