#which for some reason is NOT on D+ so I can’t even rewatch to see if he’s onto something

[lovelyjasmari]

Last night, my husband decided he wanted to learn more about twst since I’ve been writing a lot more lately. I was thrilled at first, unfortunately what started as a nice conversation morphed into an hour long quarrel about whether or not the sultan can be considered a secret villain. XD

Battinson! Bruce Wayne - NSFW Alphabet

A/N: Okay, I know I’m *really* late to the party but for some reason I’m back in my superhero era (I’m a retired Marvel girlie😔✊) and I’ve got Battinson brainrot….This is my first time writing for any Batman, and I haven’t rewatched the movie in entirety so sorry if this isn’t accurate!! :3

Written with a fem! reader in mind, but can be applied to anyone :)

18+ only, Minors DNI!

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

He’s always very caring, if not very subtly. I get the vibe that he’d become shy/reclusive after sex again, and so he communicates through his actions. If he lost control with you, he’d get you a rag/water/etc and leave it by you, and either signal to Alfred to run you a bath, or do it himself.

He stares at you, and you *might* not know what he’s thinking, but it’s definitely positive…He loves you and it’s scary :’)

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

He’s quite neutral on his body, but he likes his hands. It’s one of the parts of his body that gets the most work done, and they’re the same ones to protect you. On his partner, even though he appreciates your entirety, he’s a hips and thighs guy.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

Prefers cumming in you. It’s a deeply intimate act, and although there are big implications he loves the sensation of your walls clenching around him, and the way he feels inside you.

It’s also less messy! Still, he’s not averse to cumming on you… See W for more ;)

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He enjoys voyeurism, or ‘stalking’. Before you’re in an official relationship, he’ll follow you around the city, getting used to the routes you take and places you frequent. It starts off in a place of curiosity and desire to protect, but it gets a little kinky when he sees you semi-nude, or having sex with someone. He literally can’t get the image out of his head, it’s in his contacts…

When you’re together, he likes watching you get ready. We know he’s quiet af, so you won’t ever notice him standing outside a door/in a corner as you get ready, or undressed to take a shower. He’s even watched you touch yourself and it gets him so hard

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

None…Like, he may even be a virgin lmao (Which is HOT if Reader is experienced😳) The first time with you may be a little awkward - he’s not bad, but it takes a while to get him to feel relaxed and vocal about his needs. Practice makes perfect ;)

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Cowgirl - He likes being able to hold onto your waist and thighs while you fuck yourself on him, and he loves looking at you in the heat of the moment. Your whole body is on display, and it’s beautiful.

He also likes missionary!! It’s classic and romantic, and his favourite position to cum inside you. He melts when you cling onto his back and beg in his ear…

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

He’s not overly humorous, and your first times together are deadly serious. But, he’s basically a human cat and whilst he isn’t playful, he will make a dry joke or crack a smile at the little things when the time comes - He just takes a while.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

Bruce isn’t a hairy guy, so the carpet definitely matches the drapes. Before being in a relationship with you I don’t see him caring that much of what he looks like down below, but he keeps it trim. Any hair is very light/short to the point that he may as well be clean shaven. He couldn’t care less about what hair his partner does or doesn’t have as it’s not something that’s a dealbreaker for him.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

OKAY. At first, he is definitely a little distant, detached even, but it’s literally because he’s inexperienced and is at one of his most vulnerable points. He does the basics, like checking in to see if you’re okay, but it seems a bit strained. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t care, of course! As time goes on, and he starts to be open to the whole idea of love, he can become very romantic. It’s dark af in the manor already, but he *might* become open to the idea of candles/mood lighting, just for you. He’ll touch and caress you more, say a few words in your ear, and he’ll always give you eye contact! Sex is really revealing for him so it’s always a big affair.

(I headcanon that a lot of his ideas of romance are kind of old fashioned, just because of how he grew up viewing his parents’ marriage, and Alfred is quite the old school gentleman, and the only one around him to give advice…It’s cute🥹)

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Is not a chronic masturbator. Only really does it when he’s very pent up and agitated, or after he’s been around/seen you (ref: D). His loads are pretty normal.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Clothing (?) - Idk if this is a kink, but seeing you in a nice outfit gives him a kick. He definitely likes clothed sex.

Voyeurism - Mentioned in D

Praise kink - He’ll probably never admit it, but he likes hearing how he makes you feel, especially when your relationship is new! He’s inexperienced so he likes the reinforcement.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

A bedroom, or any closed room, preferably. The *only* time he’s willing to shower without Alfred telling him to is when you say you’ll go with him /hj

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

A combination of the little things. He’s definitely attracted to energy, but on the physical side seeing you in a nice outfit gets him going. Like, imagine getting ready for a gala…He’d spend hours watching you get ready, just in awe of how ethereal you look. Touching him, specifically when it’s not inherently sexual - Running your hands on his torso, arms, or the back of his neck to check his injuries or wipe off his makeup. It’s a way of seeing him.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Hurting you, so no kind of BDSM. The regular things like scatplay/pissplay/bodily fluids. Calling him ‘Daddy’… Absolutely not.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

A CERTIFIED MUNCH. I’m talking that video of James Brown sweating, okay?🙈 He loves to pleasure you, and that means spending hours between your thighs, exploring every inch of your folds. Loves spreading your thighs apart, tracing circles on them as he makes you squirm and you hold onto his hair. He wouldn’t say no to a blowjob once in a while (Cumming in your mouth is his guilty pleasure), but definitely prefers giving. Can make you cum from oral alone.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

A mix of both! It’s always sensual, but sometimes he loses control and will get a bit rough, but it’s underpinned by his desperation and want for release.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Doesn’t mind them, but prefers when you have 100% of each others’ attention. Quickies in the Batcave definitely hit different, though ;)

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Not much, imo. Outside of having sex in the Batcave he likes to keep his lives separate, especially as he’s from such a well-respected family. Anything in public would be a PR nightmare and he’d rather not.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

The first time, he definitely cums quickly. He’s a little ashamed but it’s kinda flattering. After that, he’s got good stamina - he could probably do three rounds - but it’s dependent on how he’s feeling at the time. He doesn’t sleep much so downtime can be between 5 mins to hours if he wants another session.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

He doesn’t own toys, but would secretly love it if you did. Likes watching you use a vibrator - especially when you don’t know he’s watching).

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He’s not a tease, tbh. His hands might linger in certain areas for longer than normal, when he’s in the mood, but other than that there’s not much.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

He switches between loud and quiet! When he enters you, he always starts off with little whimpers and grunts, his sounds coming from behind his clenched teeth. As his pace quickens and he cums, he gets louder, with desperate moans and pants coming from deep with his chest. His volume level is at least a 6.5/10, not loud enough to be heard from another room. It’s the same when he masturbates, and he always whispers a little ‘Shit…’ if he thinks he’s making too much noise.

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

His contacts have recorded everything. I’ll leave it there.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Above average, but nothing crazy! It’s got more length than girth.

Soft - 4 inches (10cm)

Hard - 5.9 inches, almost 6 (14.9cm)

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Average, if not a little lower. He’s human, after all, but his emotional state can get in the way of things. Once you’ve been together a while, it increases as he’s got a person to put to his desires.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He doesn’t sleep. It’s rare, but sometimes his eyes might *just* fall shut for a few minutes or so after, but he’s pretty much awake beyond that. If you fall asleep quickly, he’ll watch you, or if not he’ll bring you a glass of water/a snack before disappearing again.

manners maketh man

i think everyone knows which pedro pascal edit went viral on tik tok. and consequently, i got kingsman edits. and then i rewatched the movies. so in the end, we get this post.

have fun with these headcanons! we can even call this a spy au since the kingsman franchise falls under that genre of films.

ser criston cole

a man on an exchange assignment from the dornish red wine company, criston is a suave man that you get paired with for the assignment. your goal is to show him the ropes. but the dornish tend to do things a little differently and the two of you clash heads because of your different way of doing things. despite the differences, you have immense respect for criston. he even saves your life when you let your guard down.

“it wouldn’t do me any good if my partner was dead. i would be an awful dornishman if you died on my watch.”

daemon targaryen

a more senior member of the seven kings trading company, the man has been out of the game for quite some time. he’s very particular about his safety due to his work experience. and daemon is very shocked to find you at his doorstep, a new member of the seven kings trading company. something has happened to his brother and viserys told you to go to daemon in case anything went wrong. of course his brother was able to figure out how to locate him long ago. begrudingly, he becomes your partner to teach you his own tricks. and maybe he even learns a few from you.

“now (y/n), the secret here is to- no! please do not do that! not unless you want us to get caught and for the whole building to explode! geez. what do they even teach you guys now?”

rhaenyra targaryen

it was expected of rhaenyra to step up as a member of the seven kings trading company. after all, her father had led them and she must prove her worth as a trainee. she had no issues completing it and becoming a formidable spy. but the woman lacked...restraint. she was impulsive and went into things head on. you were assigned as her partner to get her to stop being impulsive and think about decisions. you both did not mesh well and it wasn’t until you get kidnapped did rhaenyra finally learn to think things through first. and you? you learned to blow shit up more.

“listen the reason why you suck at talking to people is because you are more concerned with how you are perceived and the way you look. here, look at me. loosen your posture. unbutton the top buttons of your shirt for gods’ sake!”

alicent hightower

alicent hightower is a notable member of tech support. she’s created a variety of new weapons for the seven kings trading company and you just happen to be her favorite agent to work with. you’re quite oblivious to the looks of longing she has towards you, how she always keeps a stash of gadgets and parts for you specifically that no one else can touch, the fact that she clears her schedule just for you. she’s a busy woman after all. however, you’re too caught up in fieldwork to notice her affections. or even pick up on them.

“oh nyra what do i do?! i have done everything and (y/n) still does not notice me!....what? no! i can’t just loosen up and tell them! it’s a lot more complicated than that and you know it! i’m not you or (y/n). i’m just...alicent!”

aegon targaryen

you loved your boyfriend. you really did! were you a little frustrated that he never really talked about his family and you knew nothing of his background? yes. but you decided not to pry. you both were happy and content. that was all that mattered. but when aegon came home after grocery shopping, he found the apartment in disarray and a single message: (y/n) for sunfyre. he hated seeing that name and it led him back to the seven kings trading company. aegon left the life of espionage when he was able to. it was too much pressure to perform. but now you were on the line and he had no choice but to go back in.

“why don’t we just give them the goddamn usb! i don’t have to do anything, (y/n) is safe and unharmed, and we all go about our lives! i don’t even want to be here but i have to be because of you guys. and my partner was kidnapped because of me!”

aemond targaryen

when you were younger, you were a trainee alongside aemond targaryen. he showed a lot of promise and he beat you out of becoming a field agent. but you were approached by his father for something else. your skills could serve off the field. so you became a medic and a researcher. aemond came to you often since the two of you were relatively close during your training days. plus you had to measure his eye so you can make him a new prosthetic that fits accordingly. what you don’t notice is how he comes in with small injuries just to see you or even his flirtations. he’s pretty obvious about it but you brush it aside, thinking you were just imagining things.

“(y/n)! talk to me for a little bit. ignore your work. i’m sure the files can wait....okay maybe not, but this is important because i was wondering if you and i could go get dinner sometime? you rarely leave this place and your home. it would do you some good to get some fresh air.”

helaena targaryen

you loved using a variety of poisons and nonlethal weapons in the field. it made getting information out so much easier, as well as sneaking around. of course, you always took a visit to your favorite toxicologist: helaena. she tended to work in isolation as one of the very few toxicologists at the seven kings trading company but she was the best. her mother was alicent hightower after all, so brilliance ran in the family. you have been enamored with helaena since you first met her after completing training. but you’ve never had the courage to make a move and helaena doesn’t seem to notice how you’re always flustered around her whether it’s awkwardly laughing, your cheeks feeling hot, or your very specific compliments about her outfits, hair, or the product she’s giving you.

“(y/n), have you met dayron? i hear he’s an interesting fellow. i’m mostly asking because he put in a request for something. oh and i got this for you. it’s nonlethal. in case you want to get high after a job.”

jacaerys velaryon

the job interview took a long time and was very vigorous. you were excited to be a new member of the seven kings trading company’s tech team. one of the more experienced members of the group that you started working with was jacaerys. a lot of people were surprised he went into tech considering his parents’ reputation as field agents. but he enjoyed a life that was a little more peaceful and meant he wouldn’t die getting shot at. you liked jace but you failed to notice how his feelings grew stronger than friendship. and after working in tech for so long, you began to ask him if he wanted to do more than tech. jace loved you. he was ready to support you in whatever endeavor you wanted.

“i never really wanted to go into the field. most people found it stranger that i became tech support instead since my mother is a skillful field agent. but if you want to go into fieldwork, know i am behind you one hundred percent.”

[marieshyperf1xations]

Tagged by the one and only @blueberry-obsessed herself, thank you dear :D (And it took me so long to get around to doing this (apologies, btw) that @themultifanshipper tagged me as well)

Do you make your bed? Rarely, tbh. I used to do it every day, but I nap so much recently that there’s not really a point. Plus, I have curtains in front of my bed, so you don’t really see it anyways.

Favourite number 9

What’s your job? Don’t have one currently, a little too busy with uni and my mental health. Before that I worked in a covid testing place. And I volunteer as an EMT at the Red Cross. That’s the closest answer I can give

If you could go back to school, would you? Primary school: yes. Secondary school: some phases yes, overall no (I mostly miss my German teacher). And uni I’m currently doing, so yeah.

Can you parallel park? I’m not the best, but generally yes. Also, my car is quite small, so that makes it easier I suppose

Do you think aliens are real? I don’t really think about it tbh, but purely statistically, they have to be in some way, shape or form, right?

Can you drive a manual car? Yes. And a manual motorbike as well 😌

Guilty pleasure? True crime shows or podcasts. And rewatching old Let’s Plays, but I haven’t done that in a while

Tattoos? Nope, too indecisive and scared of regretting it

Favourite colour? Really depends. Generally, I like blues and purples, sometimes a nice sunflower yellow, but with clothes for example you’ll rarely see me in something that’s not either black, grey, or navy.

Favourite type of music? Probably quicker to list what music I don’t like, but to keep it short, I’d say it’s mostly indie at the moment

Do you like puzzles? Yeah, but like everything I usually do them in bursts, so I’ll spend every evening working on it for a week and then abandon it for months.

Favourite childhood sport? I loved ballet and did gymnastics for years. And I went horse riding religiously for most of my childhood, I absolutely loved it. But unfortunately, I’m pretty much deathly allergic to horses and will almost instantly get breathing problems.

Do you talk to yourself? Yes, constantly and in three languages. Especially in the car

Tea or coffee? Tea, all the way. Herbal and black tea or some chai blend, most of the time with milk. I absolutely detest coffee; it makes me nauseous.

First thing you wanted to be when growing up? Either a veterinarian or a horse-riding instructor, I can’t remember which one came first

What movies do you adore? My favourite as a child was Mamma Mia and it’s still a comfort film for me. I loved Call Me By Your Name for the cinematography, the score and the general vibes. For similar reasons I also adored Arrival, I’ve watched that a good few times by now too. Also, the storyline is genius. For a feel-good film I really like Ocean’s 8, something about it is just really satisfying to me and the fact that there’s so many amazing women in that film is even better. And my go-to film when I need a cry is and probably always will be The Notebook.

oh I NEED to know more about the 5+1 Mary finds out

hey hey hey-- ok so for a while now I've been thinking about writing something like "five times mary suspects and one time she knows John and Dean fucked," which is a terrible, terrible title but that's the gist of the story. There's a number of very obvious moments where a J/D revelation might happen in S12, e.g. what does she hear at the Asa Fox wake? There are all sorts of myths around Sam and Dean, surely there were also rumors about John. But there are also some that are less obvious, like, when she goes through the memory box, what if she finds pictures of John and Kate that Sam and Dean kept because they have so few pictures of their dad, and she asks Dean about it? Imagine watching him go through another "Jump the Shark" style melt-down, etc? Or finally in s14, why the fuck is Dean's greatest desire to bring back his dad rather than save himself and the world from Michael? None of these glaringly point towards an incestuous relationship, but the suspicion in itself is a cool character exploration of Mary.

Part of the hold-up with the actual writing of this is that I don't really have a strong grasp on how I want her to sound yet, which can be masked by some 2nd person trickery, but I already did that once, so I have to undertake a s12 rewatch, and commit to read more to shape that voice, or cleave off the story into two or more stories, one of which would be just about the "time she knew," which is (under the cut for spoilery reasons)

inspired by the s14 revelation that she and John are sharing a heaven + Dark Side of the Moon. A scene or more where she has to watch John's greatest hits, which may or may not include some incriminating VR-style memories, which I think is probably heavy enough to be its own story.

Anyway, since you went through all this rambling, a little bit from what would be the ending (I write my endings first [shrugs]):

John leaning against the counter, barefoot, coffee cup up to his face covering his mouth but even then she can see his eyes smiling, and Dean smiling too, open eager eyes, his sweet soft voice when he says hey from across the room. Not at her, he can’t see her. So much younger than she’s last seen him and her heart twists not for the first time for the decades of his life she’s missed. He pulls the bedroom door shut behind him and lets go of the handle slow and careful and crosses the room. He rises to his tiptoes, wraps his arms around John’s neck, thoughtless, practiced, leans his weight so so they’re together, thigh to thigh, their bellies pressed together, their ribs, their faces only far apart that John can look down at him grinning, his hand first at Dean’s hip, rucking his shirt up, then around his skull, tilting, before he opens his mouth to Dean’s cheek, sinks his teeth into the soft padded swell under his eye. They laugh. Then Dean buries his face into John’s neck, and John sighs. He closes his eyes. Next to her he says he waited a long time.

Is It Really That Bad?

I think I speak for everyone when I say that Jack Black is awesome. Ever since the one-two punch of 2008’s Kung Fu Panda and Tropic Thunder, Black has steadily seen himself rise to becoming a wacky and near universally beloved cultural icon, with zany YouTube videos and roles such as the gay psychic viking musician Helmut Fullbear in Psychonauts 2 and fucking Bowser of all people in The Super Mario Bros. Movie fully cementing his status as one of the most fun actors working today. But this sort of adoration wasn’t always the case.

Sure, everyone loved School of Rock and Tenacious D had a solid stoner buddy comedy film and some amusing songs, but Black’s career prior to the 2010s was pretty spotty and filled with bad and disposable comedies; there’s a reason he’ s playing the character stuck in a rut of making nothing but flatulent fat joke comedy movies in Tropic Thunder, after all. He still had some speedbumps to overcome before he’d reach Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Goosebumps even after his well-received 2008 films, and after starring in a film in 2009 that ended Harold Ramis’ career (and that I’m sure you’ll all vote for me to rewatch eventually), he made a pit stop in 2010 to dent his own career… but it wasn’t just him who suffered thanks to Gulliver’s Travels.

You see, this movie has an interesting bit of trivia to it that s likely the only reason it’s even vaguely remembered at all. Emily Blunt was contractually obligated to star in this film as a result of starring in The Devil Wears Prada, which on its own isn’t all too interesting… But because of this, she had to skip out on being Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Iron Man 2 wouldn’t have been better with her in it, the MCU as a whole might have benefited from having an actress as good as her as the first superheroine in the franchise. Maybe we could have even gotten a Black Widow movie sooner, and with less awful villains and terrible CGI!

undefined

This is all the film gets remembered for today, if it’s remembered at all: A footnote for the MCU, and one that hurt the careers of its lead actors for a couple of years until they were able to bounce back with more critically-acclaimed films. At best, those into more niche and obscure media might know that this films has a lot of material reworked from a scrapped adaptation of the Prometheus and Bob shorts from Nickelodeon’s KaBlam! It can’t even be remembered as some ridiculously huge bomb, because even with it making less than half its budget back domestically, internationally it managed to double it!

So hey, maybe those international audiences were on to something. Sure, it was critically reviled but it was also successful overseas, so maybe other countries knew something we didn’t here in America. Is Gulliver’s Travels really that bad, or is this a hidden Jack Black gem that America was too hard on?

THE GOOD

I think what really surprised me the most is the set design and costumes. Maybe I’ve just been absolutely poisoned by the non-stop onslaught of CGI as of late, but it was really nice to see some actual sets, actual costumes, and actual effort on display in a movie, even if it wasn’t the most amazing thing out there.

The film also has some very fun sequences, all of them obviously revolving around Jack Black. There’s the scene where he has to put out a fire and, uh, uses his natural hose to extinguish the flame (which is apparently lifted directly from the original book), which manages to be one of the only funny pee jokes in human history thanks to James Corden becoming doused in urine; there’s a scene where JB has to defeat an armada of ships and manages to do it with an accidental counter attack that eerily manages to foreshadow the climax of Kung Fu Panda 2; and there’s a scene where JB is banished to an island where he is kidnapped by a giant girl and turned into a doll in her dollhouse. Fun sequences like this make full use of the world the film has created.

Also, yes, it’s a bit dumb and cringey how one of the major conflicts in the film is solved by Jack Black randomly breaking out into a musical number, but if you’re gonna pay for Jack Black you gotta get him to sing. This one time, I’ll let the corny dance party ending slide—but it’s on thin fucking ice.

THE BAD

I mean, with both James Corden and T.J. Miller in the film, it’s no surprise there’s plenty of suckiness to the proceedings.

I think the main issue is that the film is too short and doesn’t really do enough with its premise. Now, I’m no expert on the book this is loosely adapting seeing as I’ve never read it, but I feel like they could have done more than just liberally adapt elements for a silly family film, and I also think eighty minutes isn’t nearly enough time to really delve into things. And even having never read it, this is taking one of the greatest pieces of classic literature written by one of history’s sharpest satirists (Johnathan Swift, he of A Modest Proposal fame) and turned it into a wacky vehicle for Jack Black. It’s kind of hard not to feel a bit bitter we didn’t get a straighter modernized adaptation instead of a wacky family film.

Aside from that, though, the worst I can say is that some of the humor is pretty dorky or cringey, and that not a lot of performances really stand out. The former is to be expected from a silly family film like this, but the latter is pretty damn shocking considering the massive amounts of talent in this film. Black is having fun, but his hamming doesn’t always land, nor does his oversaturation of pop culture references; Emily Blunt and Jason Segel are okay, but they feel a bit overplayed and underplayed, respectively; Billy Connolly is barely even trying as the king, but it’s not like he’s given good material; and the rest of the cast are perfectly serviceable but not exactly standout. Everything is just okay (even Corden and Miller, but I hate them so let’s just say they suck).

I think my biggest issue is that even if nothing is done offensively badly here, the film’s story is packed far too tightly with the most expected family film cliches you can imagine. You’ve got a really basic “liar revealed” plot at the core, you have the character getting bad romantic advice from his friend that leads to a third act breakup with his love interest, you have the most shallow romantic arc in the world beside that with one of the most unrealistic reactions you could ever imagine from a woman who has been repeatedly lied to by the guy crushing on her… It’s just really tired and sloppy. You have seen all the plot points here in a dozen better films.

IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?

Maybe it’s just because I was expecting a lot worse, but I honestly found this film to be kind of charming.

Like, sure, it’s not really anything special. It’s just a goofy Jack Black family film, and as far as those go it’s definitely nothing compared to Nacho Libre. But it doesn’t really overstay its welcome, it has a few chuckles, Black gets to sing, and James Corden gets doused in piss, so I can’t say I didn’t find some enjoyment in it. It’s a silly little disposable bit of fluff that’s fun to watch once and maybe put on in the background if you need some noise, and there’s a place for films like that in this world.

But, you know, I kind of get why audiences didn’t vibe with this. Nothing in this movie is as offensively bad as a lot of other family fantasy films of the time, but there’s nothing that really stands out here either. You’ve got some cool scenes, cool ideas, and Jack Black hamming it up, but none of it really ever gels into something great. This is a completely average, somewhat enjoyable, and kind of forgettable film, and I completely understand why it has faded from the public consciousness besides being a bit of MCU trivia. It’s not offensive or bad enough to really bring out intense emotion, but it isn’t good enough to gush about, and Jack Black has been in so many better roles lately that utilize the traits this film is banking on far better that it’s hard to recommend this unless you’re really curious or bored.

That 4.9 is pretty harsh though, honestly. I gave it a 6, mostly because I just found the whole thing endearingly dorky, but realistically I’d say maybe in the mid to high 5 range is where this movie belongs. It’s got plenty of cringey moments and it’s not really mind-blowing, with it relying far too much on cliché plot elements you see in a lot of bargain bin family films, but I think there’s just enough effort on display here to make this a passable viewing experience. As far as corny Jack Black movies go, you could be doing a lot worse than watching this one.

A lot worse.

A through Z for the ask game >:]

HI JAMMIE

this is another long one, bear with me!

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

Uhhhhh well obviously I'm loving the gojo & megumi father-son shit at the moment, it really heals the depression. ALSO @grungeeuvu (alt. account @grungiiuvu) has gotten me back into MXTX, especially TGCF, so fengqing is top of my romantic ship list at the moment. I keep meaning to write something for them. Whoopsies.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

my jjk moots are going to think i'm insane for this, but itafushi. It did NOT occur to me when I watched the anime, but then someone suggested it to me and then I rewatched with new eyes and ... yeah. itafushi canon.

also kuromikashou. I'm a fan of that now, too.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

the rats are going to absolutely hate this announcement, but ushioi and oikage. Hate them both. oisuga? sure. iwaoi? love it. oihina? don't see it as a long term thing, but don't care. even atsuoi is passable. But both ushioi and oikage really irriate me for zero reason.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

bokuroo. they make total logical sense and they'd be hilarious together, but to me they're besties. sorry guys :(

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

i hear lots of good things about my JNT Rulebook, which is a whole load of crack. Also, for AOT i wrote Chaos Theory, which earned comments like "I had no idea funny fics were possible for this fandom". If you are a long-term aot girlie, I am so sorry for your loss.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

Uh, I'm not sure? The first fandom I contributed to was PJO. I was there for maybe two years, and that's probably my record. I'm just over one year on haikyuu now. I'M SORRY I JUST KEEP CHANGING INTERESTS

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

My very first OTP was probably Eadric & Emma from The Frog Princess series. It doesn't really have a fandom but god, I loved those books... OR Ash & Serena from Pokemon. They were good too.

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

I mainly watch anime at the moment and usually they have more active fandoms, so I'm happy to stay with them. With books, you can never be sure that anyone else has ever read them.

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

Nope, because I am good at staying away from scary people. #slay

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr.

Supernatural. No explanation needed.

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

From Haikyuu, it's got to be Hinata, hasn't it? And he's weirdly underrated, considering he's literally the main character.

From other fandoms, I love Yona from Yona of the Dawn. She goes from literal spoiled princess to some kind of warrior queen, PLUS she gains emotional maturity. May we all grow to be like her.

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves.

You know what, guys? I do think Goshiki's cute. I do understand wanting to put him in your pocket. Personally, I don't, but I totally see it.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Sugawara. He's top tier friend material - chaotic, funny, caring, and would definitely feed into your delulu.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

My main fandom is probably haikyuu, so I wish I saw more of:

Appreciation for the writing!!!

Love for main characters. It sounds weird, but the fandom is full of people who have a pet side character who barely has any lines. This is GOOD, all character deserve appreciation, but can we get some applause for hinata??

Love for rarepairs. This sounds even stranger, considering my last point, but we need to get used to letting people ship whoever the fuck they want. As long as it's legal.

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

After a good old shuffle of my 94 hour playlist, I got Bad Romance by lady gaga. This is gonna come out of left field because I've never mentioned this fandom before, but it's sherliam from moriarty the patriot.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

I've mentioned this to friends before, but we totally need a TGCF hosptial au. Mu Qing is a surgeon, Feng Xin is a physiotherapist, Xie Lian is either a GP or an anesthesiologist, and Hua Cheng is some random reception guy. Mu Qing is always bullying Feng Xin for not being a 'real doctor'. Hualian are married. you see where I'm going.

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

Harry Potter, for obvious reasons.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

I would die for Nobara & Itadori & Megumi. They deserved to be happy forever.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon

I wrote whole sections of fanfiction based off my headcanon that Megumi has flat hair like Toji, but he styles it spiky to be like Gojo. I KNOW the canon disproves it. I don't actually care.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

Nope, because I am non-confrontational and uncreative.

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

I'm going niche on this one - well, more like going into fandoms my followers probably aren't into.

Ayame Sohma, Fruits Basket. Loving brother, perfect example of how to make reparations, and also literally fabulous. And gay.

Ooharano, All Out!. Voice by Ian Sinclair, very good at his sport, hilariously sarcastic. Emotional backstory that was just never mentioned again???

Siatrich Wynknight, The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up At The Duke's Mansion. Very funny, likes to be a bit evil for the giggles, thinks it's funny when his younger brother endangers national relations. Gay.

V - Which character do you relate to most?

GUYS I HAVE NO IDEA. I'm probably closest to Bokuto or Kageyama - and that seems odd, because they're different people, but that's how I am.'

Also Gojo. Don't tell my readers I said that.

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

Exes to Lovers, my beloathed. Hate it so much, I can't even explain why.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS CHILDHOOD FRIENDS "I KNOW THE PARTS OF YOU THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW YOURSELF" MY BELOVED

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

RWBY, ITSV, Demon Slayer.

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!

I guess I've always been interested in the idea of a true morally grey character, because sometimes there are characters that are described as morally grey, or even evil, when they're actually Just A Guy (*cough* Oikawa *cough*). The only character I can think of is probably Dazai from BSD. Everyone has an opinion and very few of them are correct. There is no way you can say he is a bad person, because many of his issues come from the fact that he is an orphan, raised by the mafia, and someone who took the opportunity to leave when prompted. Also, in his life after the mafia, he made a genuine effort to make good on his promises and fix his life, including saving Atsushi.

HOWEVER, you can't say he's a totally good person. He lived well in the mafia, because he didn't care about killing people and perhaps even enjoyed it, depending on how you view certain scenes. Many people would say that he's still not on anyone's side, he's only on his own side. This is debatable, but it's still there. PLUS you've got his continuation of the cycle of abuse through Akutagawa, and his willingness to pretend to betray his friends in order to get the outcome he wants. Everyone else is just a pawn to him.

I'm still undecided on him, but I'm proud of every fan that says "he's morally grey" rather than cutting it up into black and white. Remember that BSD was written for the stray dogs, not the ones who have lived happily all this time...

Thanks for the ask!

Reacting to BATDR, Part 1 and 2?

So as mentioned before, because I cannot play the game at launch, I’m watching SuperHorrorBro’s coverage to experience BATDR. I’ve watched through the first two videos he’s launched (linked under the cut), and oh my gosh, I’m already REALLY INVESTED! Normally I’m not one to blog about stuff like this, my reactions are pretty muted about most things, but while watching these videos, I was emotive and excited as hell, I swore more than I have since my last bad night of Splatoon 3, and that’s saying something! Usually my self control is better, but GOSH I squealed so hard.

And seeing as I don’t want to go into any of the spoiler channels in my designated Bendy servers, for the sake of not getting spoiled by people who are ahead of me in terms of the story, that leaves me with only a few options to get the feels out. I think, I’d like to react a little bit here and speculate. This is new territory for me, but it’s exciting! So as promised, we’re using our tools, we’re tagging things, and we’ll put a majority of this under the cut. Let’s dive in! (also do not spoil me for anything ahead of this content in the replies/comments, please and thank you!)

If you’d like to follow along with where I am in terms of story, here are the videos! Thank you Mike for all your hard work covering this game, you are an absolute gem and this is SO FUN!

So RIGHT OFF THE BAT, this game is gorgeous to look at! I was a little worried that it would lose some of the charm of looking like a sketch with the graphical upgrade, but I think this is still pretty good, both in the “real world” section and the “studio”. The introduction did a lot of things I didn’t expect, and I appreciate that so much.

I can’t believe we got to do a version of the ritual that Henry did to start the machine, and I’m kind of annoyed that I didn’t see that coming. Like it seems SO OBVIOUS, but at the same time, it just was not on my radar. But like, why did Audrey have to throw the switch and gather the items? What is it just because you’re old and decrepit Wilson? Is it just because we need to get used to the mechanics in a safe environment, or is there a narrative reason for it? Also, the fact that the ink just, FLOODED THE FLOOR?! And they got pulled under?? Or did Wilson grab her and drag her under? I feel like he kind of ragdolled and they got pulled, but I'm not sure, we'll have to go back and rewatch. That is NOT how I expected us to get pulled into the ink realm, but I love that a lot actually. It's so good!

Wilson, gosh, I have SO MANY FEELINGS about Wilson. Sir you are a creeper, and if I were Audrey, I would be contacting HR about you. We get it, Audrey’s gorgeous, but keep your goddamn eye to yourself bro. X’‘‘D I did not see that coming, I dunno if he’s like, interested in Audrey in the sense of romantic/sexual attraction, or if he knows something about her in this world that we don’t and that’s why he’s fixated on her. Like, I’m hoping it’s the second of the two, but I do get the sense it could be a little bit of both. That does seem to point to a more "chosen one" styled story with her, which I feel like ties into her being related to Joey or Henry, which is something I'm not sure if I want. Like I LOVE next generation stories, but I really want this to feel like Audrey's story, not just an extension of Joey's or Henry's, you know? If nothing else, I'm REALLY CURIOUS what Wilson meant by "we're going home". Sir, excuse you, what?! What does that even mean?!

Speaking of, LOVING Audrey as a protagonist. She leaves plenty of room for the player to react to scares, but she still has a lot of personality that I like. I LIKE that she's scared but still pushing through with a little sass and witty remarks, it's great. She's doing a great job. Don't get me wrong, I loved Henry, but there was a lot he didn't react to that always struck me as kind of odd (which makes sense once you know he might be trapped in a loop), like the only thing we hear him get emotional about is Boris, and I wanted more moments like that. We're getting that here.

Heck , we're getting a LOT of things I value and we're not even an hour and a half into the gameplay, that's wild! THANK YOU dev team for giving us the option to listen to audio logs in the pause menu with a transcript on screen, that is SO GOOD! I do miss the on screen text during gameplay, but this is honestly more efficient. You can take a moment to take it all in instead of worrying about enemies catching you off guard, so you don't lose important information (and given we actually get some, that's good. The voice direction in this game is so good. I knew it would be, you've got Lauren Synger who knows what she's doing as the voice director, and Lani Minella who's not only well connected, but also well versed in many different kinds of voice work, so she's a great pick for casting director, and the people they got are phenomenal. The deliveries are solid! I also love that we can hear some voices of the Lost Ones matching up with the audio logs so far, that's a GREAT touch. I'm loving Dale a lot, Dale is good. It leaves less room for interpretations about what happened to everyone, but I'm okay with that. Can't wait to read the credits to see who's responsible for each of them! Really excited that we got to hear Nathan, and that we might have been wrong about him from the books, though I’m gonna wait and see. He seems like a fairly earnest guy, I get the sense I need to read through his annotations in The Illusion of Living again.

Also, LOVE the addition of notes. We FINALLY GOT IT! We have heard Jack refer to Sammy so much in his audio logs, but never Sammy refer to Jack, and as a huge appreciator of them as musical partners (and occasionally as a ship) I was ECSTATIC to see him acknowledge him in writing. I'm also really curious about who "Your Best Pal" is. Mike speculates it's Henry, but I'd argue it could be Henry OR Joey, given Joey ALSO signs things that way (case in point, his letter inviting Henry back at the start of BATIM). It's more likely to be Henry, but it could be fun to do that with Joey too, especially since we have it confirmed that he's dead as of 1971, and we're currently in 1973.

In the same vein as before with previous employees, LOVE the studio tour audio from Joey, oh my gosh, I wish we had some subtitles or a transcript of those! That was a really good addition in terms of presentation. Also really loved hearing him say Sammy and Jack’s names, that was a GREAT moment. Feeling really awful for Carl though, gosh I kind of want to run into Carl even though that was extremely morbid. Here’s where my gripe comes in: how the actual hell did Joey not get charged with murder?! The blip in the tape puts Allison’s name over Susie’s, which tells us that this tour could have been happening in the 30s, but had an edit sometimes in the 40s when Allison took over the role of Alice. And given we ALSO have another details from these other employees about how dangerous it was with Gent coming in and pipes bursting, how did this tour keep running? Surely the newspaper HAD to have reported on a tour group getting hospitalized or disappearing, right? No? No we’re just gonna cover the bankruptcy in the late 40s? Okay, okay fine, have it your way. X’‘‘D How the hell did Joey Drew get away with anything? Like the tour stuff is cool, but if we don’t get an explanation for how Joey kept all this ink stuff from getting into the public (seeing as Wilson seems to be the only one that understands what the machine can do when Nathan acquires the brand?! Excuse me what?!), I’m calling this a massive oversight.

Moving onto more physical character stuff, can I just say, I LOVE that Striker comes down from the ceiling now?! Oh my gosh that is so GOOD! Very spidery. I would have hated that in BATIM given the controls just did not feel great for combat, but I hope this isn’t giving Mike too many issues, because it’s a great touch. Also PIPER CAN HURT YOU THROUGH THE MIRACLE STATION?! I’m sorry what?! Also Allison is acknowledging Piper by name?! That’s such a small thing, but like, we only knew what the enemies were called last game because people dug through the game files. We never had this enemy referred to as Piper or Charley, and it is SO NICE to have that. Same with Searchers, thank you Allison for talking about Searchers. I didn’t think I’d be so happy to see Allison, but I’m REALLY HAPPY to see her, she’s been done so much justice in terms of characterization, it’s great to see. Last game she didn’t give us a lot in terms of character development, and the difference within the first two encounters with her here are night and day. My one thing is that her reason for not coming with us feels a little weak, but I get it, for the sake of gameplay and programming the AI, this makes more sense. Girl, you don’t have to take us to your hideout, unless like, the entire upper level is your hideout, but I doubt it is since you wouldn’t be telling us to go there if we shouldn’t be there period. But the nice part is that she’s exploring again when she’s not supposed to, or at least, that seems likely. She’s trying to respect Tom’s boundaries about guests while also going out on her own and getting into trouble, it’s a mixed bag, very interesting. But just, “I’ve got a wolf”, MAN I wanna see Tom! One thing I’m unclear on though, we hear Alice’s humming right around the time we have a run-in with the Piper, and I just, I’m lost. I thought that noise was exclusive to Twisted Alice, so for a moment I thought she was gonna pop up, and then we got Allison. Do they both hum now? That’s interesting. And now we get to the part everyone’s been waiting for: Baby Benders. Okay first of all, I love that Audrey is so smitten with this guy when they first meet. Like she’s scared of everyone else, but the minute she sees this beloved cartoon character and he’s real and alive and adorable, she tries to befriend him, and it’s SO GOOD. I also LOVE the way his facial expressions are handled! That is beautifully animated. He’s SO EMOTIVE?! I was worried he was gonna have the smile plastered on the whole time, but the TEARS IN HIS EYES?! The MOUTH?! BENDY I’M SO SORRY OH YOU POOR BABY! He was so hesitant, and then he opened up and got burned, oh this CHILD! He was just playing with his train, my GOSH! Audrey ya gotta use the other hand next time. So this makes it seem like Bendy isn’t an AI that follows us around, I’m guessing he’ll function more like an NPC that we go and connect with for help if needed? I’m okay with that, that’s a vibe, probably better for less glitches and getting stuck on stuff because of collision detection, since there’s a lot more stuff for a model like his to get stuck on (I’m guessing of course, I don’t do game design). I’m okay with us not having an AI ally this time, though I AM curious about how Porter is gonna work, he still has an opportunity to be something like that or an NPC with quests for us.

THAT BEING SAID- this is where we get into where my theories are being proven wrong. I had speculated a little on Nathan wanting the machine specifically, and preserving Joey’s legacy was just a cover-up, but now I’m not so sure about that. But my bigger theory looks to be pretty close to disproven. So on my theory stream last week, I had speculated that Porter was gonna be the Lost One we saw hung up on the wall like a crucifix, the one we get the pipe from. It seemed like an ideal jumpscare opportunity, for that Lost One to come to life after we pulled the pipe out and spook us with an enthusiastic thank you, and then Audrey would get her special ability that way. But that’s not what happened, it was more like taking the wrench out of Boris’ corpse in the first game. The reason I suspected this lost one might be Porter was because of the feet and the rope. Looking to the feet after someone pointed out how weird they were, I noticed several parts of his model has small indents that looked like the spots where this lost one was impaled. Furthermore, if you look at the rope around Porter, it conveniently covers up the spot where the pipe was sticking out of the wall lost one, leading me to believe it could be concealing an injury. Now, if we say, go back to that area later and he’s not there, or Porter drops some info for us later, then I could still be correct, but I’m not holding my breath. But given we see the ink itself give Audrey the power to banish searchers, I’m led to believe that Porter might function in a similar vein but not the same one. Since we have an upgrade system for health and stamina, and possibly one for the pipe, I get the sense Porter is gonna be key to upgrading our golden abilities so we can do more than just banishment. But for now, we’ll have to wait and see.

Last thing: We had our first run in with the ink demon, and OH MAN that was good, but also, um, LOTS OF QUESTIONS?! One, bro how come YOU get subtitles denoting that you’re the ink demon speaking but Joey doesn’t?! Were Joey’s subtitle privileges just revoked or something? But also, MAN, he has a VOICE now?! And it’s DEEP?! Sir you sound like Venom, I kind of dig that, but I wonder WHY you can speak now. Wilson’s loudspeaker monologue tells us he “tore his body in two,” which, to me leaves a lot of questions. We’ve speculated that our little cartoon Bendy and the Ink Demon could be one and the same, but I also suspect they could be two halves of a whole. Half of me suspected that Wilson might have fused himself with the ink demon so he could be powerful and rule over this place, and I get the sense that could happen still, but I’m feeling it’s less likely. So far I’m leaning towards the two demons being two pieces of a whole, maybe not halves though, maybe more like quarters? I speculated that Joey, Henry, or both might have been used to make our little guy real, and I still think it’s possible, though Bendy’s behavior doesn’t read like either of them from what I’ve seen so far. Man, this is a really twisty thing, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. But this is an ink demon that makes sense for Sammy to worship. If THIS is what Sammy heard this whole time, combined with the dark puddles that gave us the banish ability? Oh that adds a whole other layer of context.

Overall, I’m REALLY EXCITED by how this has gone so far. This seems like a game I would struggle to play, since there doesn’t seem to be a map and I am extremely directionally challenged. But overall? The narrative is alright. It hasn’t been super long, we’re only getting into the second chapter, so I don’t expect to see any major returning characters yet, but I do hope they show up soon. I’m especially eager to see if/how Sammy returns. Given we have a note and a couple of mentions of him, I’m hopeful. I need to know if I was right about something.

Agents of SHIELD Rewatch Season 4A (ep. 1-8)

Here's my commentary on my rewatch of Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episodes 1-8. This may not be the best commentary since these are just the thoughts and opinions that come to my mind as I watch the episodes rather than a full-blown analysis, but I'm just having fun with it!

Oh boy, do I have OPINIONS about these first few episodes…

4x01 The Ghost

And here’s where the show took advantage of the 10pm time slot: we get a scene of Daisy getting dressed.

HERE HE IS

ME GHOST RIDER HIMSELF

ROBBIE REYES

Also the score for the Ghost Rider pod is badass and also the same score Daisy was listening to when she was in quarantine after getting her powers in s2.

This season also gave me a new appreciation for the title card.

The Mack and Coulson dynamic is pretty cool this season.

Especially after how they were kind of butting heads in season 2.

DAVIS D. DAVIS

“I think you look forward to that more than I do” about May.

May isn’t wearing heels, so you can actually see how short she actually is irl😅

PIPER!! LOVE HER ATTITUDE!

“Spine pulled out of his… ohh” Oh Mack, I love you.

“May, you’re not sharing”

Thank you Coulson and Mack for understanding Daisy’s intentions.

“Who the hell are you” - Mack. My second favorite person to say this line.

“Those are football teams” “Not sure they are, Turbo”

Mack is such a mood. Wanted an exploding pen.

Emo Daisy style tho👌🏼

Love how you don’t really see much of Robbie’s face at first. Raises the intimidation.

Mack’s one liners are ON POINT!

ELENA!!! I LOVE YOU!

They really set Davis up to die this season giving him a wife and a kid on the way.

“Just ask me to dinner again” WHAT HAPPENED AT THE FIRST DINNER!

THE TENSION! I LOVE IT!

YOYO MADE MACK SPEECHLESS.

Also, because of the Accords, literally every move Elena makes is tracked. EVERY powered and enhanced individual that is under the Accords is being tracked. Literally taking away innocent citizens’ civil liberties. This is why being Team Cap is the right answer. The government is taking advantage of their power and using it to track and later kill individuals like inhumans who have done nothing wrong but are being targeted.

Radcliffe just has Aida naked all the time???

“WHOT THE HELL”

“A nAkEd BoDy”

I can’t watch Daisy getting on the bus seriously anymore knowing that the crew decided to troll Chloe and have it drive away😂

Daisy and Yo-Yo friendship🥹 screw you season 5.

“I think I stumbled upon a serial killer” “Ooh fun”

“Take care of yourself” All Daisy wants for the team is for them to be safe.

Also how can anyone blame Daisy for leaving. She’s loss so much and has felt the guilt for all of it. Not to mention how NO ONE except Mack decided to go down and see her and comfort her after Hive. Daisy left because she didn’t want to feel like a burden, which if i’m being honest, the team kinda treated her like so after Hive and talking to her only for information. Daisy left because she cared about her team. She didn’t want to be the reason she brought them pain. However, I have a feeling that them not talking to her is what also pushed her away, thinking that they didn’t want her around anymore.

Elizabeth and Ming are essentially the same height, so they couldn’t have May in heels and put Jemma in shoes that have a lift in them so that she seems intimidating towards May.

“Should’ve cut off your own hand”

I love Robbie Reyes. Just thought you all should know.

I appreciate that Jemma has gained the confidence to where she can handle positions of authority, but knowing what I know happens later makes it really hard to be proud of her for it. The fandom respects Jemma’s authority, but when Daisy is in authority, she’s disrespected? How come Daisy’s authority isn’t respected later?? Jemma was quick to defy Daisy in season 5.

And Jemma has the nerve to assume May is jealous of her status? May makes it clear that even she’s surprised what the position has done to Jemma.

I do understand Jemma wanting the power to keep the team together in some capacity, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of your friends’ respect.

“After all we’ve been through” yet you, Jemma, insinuating May being jealous of you. You’re the one who has thrown away the respect they deserve just as much.

Daisy does her research. But I liked to believe she knew Robbie’s car’s model because Coulson and Mack are such a car guys that they probably shared some car facts with her.

“These guys might kill someone else besides themselves” “YEAH US”

MAaAaAaAYYY!!! THE GHOST!

The way Robbie calls Daisy chica😍

The visual effects this season are INSANE!

How come it’s barely touched on that Daisy is literally suicidal this season?

Even the Ghost Rider sees Daisy as a good person.

Robbie and Gabe’s relationship🥹

“I finished high school… in the 11th grade”

The van’s back. But it’s not her van.

4x02 Meet the New Boss

That poor little boy😅🥺

You do that badass walk, Robbie

The team always saw the common room of the Playground as home🥺 now that it’s redecorated, it’s doesn’t have that homey feeling.

Daisy with the tea mug and acting all smug is giving me life.

I feel like a lot of people dislike Mace, which is understandable given what we got of him at first, but later, you can actually see how he’s a good person.

Robbing banks and returning money to their rightful owners. How come they only look at the bad?

“Maybe she’s just a ghost”

The little Piper and May interaction.

Again, Daisy is literally suicidal. Why is barely anyone talking about it?

“Fighting to right every wrong” DAISY’S CHARACTER IN A NUTSHELL!

She still keeps a picture of Lincoln😭

I LOVE THIS SCENE WITH DAISY ON THE CAR! I bet Chloe had so much fun with that scene.

“Neutralize powers. I’d love to see them” that guy seemed a little too happy about repressing powers.

“Who wants to step aside a real life quinjet” ME🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ Aren’t they supposed to have a quinjet ride coming to Avengers Campus at Disnleyland or is that just something I dreamt/made up?

Poor May😭

“Always looking out for us” THATS MAY

It definitely was cool during my first watch finding out that Mace was “inhuman”

The way Mack carefully cares for Daisy’s arm😭😭

“She’s turned her back” She most certainly HAS NOT! WTF!! Has she done anything terrible to you, Fitz? I don’t think so. And don’t say choking you out during Hive cause that was not of her will.

“Something terrible happened, and she didn’t want our help getting through it” WHEN DID YOU GUYS HELP HER??? YOU GUYS HAD HER LOCKED IN A CELL. YOU TREATED HER LIKE SHIT AND ONLY SPOKE TO HER TO GET INFORMATION OUT OF HER, MAKING HER RELIVE EVENTS THAT SHE MOST DEFINITELY SHOILD HAVE PTSD FROM! THE ONLY PERSON WHO SPOKE TO HER WITH SYMPATHY AND COMPASSION WAS MACK!! Oh my god just get Fitz off my screen already.

“We’ve all been through terrible things” That is something you NEVER EVER want to tell a person who is depressed, suicidal, and grieving after a very traumatic experience. Also, you didn’t have that attitude when other people went through terrible things. How come every single person in this show are allowed to step away from the agency for their own good (Jemma in s2, May in s3, Fitz himself in s3), but Daisy isn’t allowed??? And when they all went through those things, they had people supporting them, while Daisy was basically left to fend for herself in confinement. How come she’s told “well too bad. bad things happen to all of us so you just have to suck it up” My god, just show some empathy. Daisy does it, basically expected to, but why can’t anybody else?? Then again, we’re talking about Fitz who literally doesn’t have an empathetic bone in his body and only cares if it effects him. So what if YOU were so hurt that SHE left to BETTER HERSELF and MAKE SURE THE POEPLE SHE CARED ABOUT ARE SAFE after no one else would. I hate this. I hate this scene. I hate Fitz.

Glad I can finally say that^

“Never turned our back” UM FITZ, YOU LITERALLY DID IN SEASON 3.

“I’m doing what I need to do” “But that still affects us” Again, how come they get to guilt trip Daisy with their own feelings but she doesn’t get to help herself with her feelings and trauma?

4x03 Uprising

This is surprisingly one of my comfort episodes. I know, weird one to have. Maybe because it has a lot of Elena and I love her.

Yes Maria. Mack is sexy.

The crackling of the title screen!!

Elena, always the hater of heels. (Me too Yo-Yo, me too)

“I like to vet my vengeance demons before I hop in a car with them”

Of course as they are talking about it, the blackout strikes LA.

Fuck Ellen Nadeer

Elena’s outfit in this episode is so cute!

“She’s at a bachelorette party. Probably having a good time, drinking and dancing with all those sexy latino guys” Fitz, I don’t like you, especially after last episode, please don’t make me laugh. But also, don’t throw that at Mack.

It doesn’t take a lot to be a decent human being. Elena, you don’t need these people in your life.

THE HAND😂

Love how Coulson’s like “I wish I could have been there to see the flame demon” while Mack is all “Oh hell no”

If people turn on you that quickly in a situation where you are the victim, they were never your friends in the first place.

Love this fight scene! And Elena’s little teasing smile with the knife😁

“At least I don’t have to wear a stupid dress”

“I thought registered people were protected” ANOTHER REASON THE ACCORDS WERE A TERRIBLE IDEA.

Also, the actor who plays Gabe (Lorenzo James Henrie) is the younger brother of the actor who played Justin (David Henrie) in Wizards of Waverly Place. One of my favorite fun facts cause that was my favorite childhood show. He’s also only like a year younger than Chloe.

So SHIELD just has drugs that instantly kill people on hand?

And here’s Melinda May death number 1 of 2.

FINALLY we have a location of the Playground. Washington D.C.

This episode should have been a good form of proof that Mace isn’t a terrible person. He knew better than to believe it was the inhumans and he trusted Coulson.

Only Melinda May can wake up from being dead and just immediately demand to be released from stuff holding her down.

I LOVE the slow mo Yo-Yo shots. Especially cause she looks like she’s having so much fun.

“If that’s your real name” “I’ve had a few”

Thank you Elena for telling at least someone that they should respect Daisy.

He brought meds and bandages for her😭😭

Gabe, you liar.

“I hear you’re feeling like yourself” “I’m cranky” “Like I said”

Daisy, I don’t think that’s how you take pills.

Ellen Nadeer, fuck you

17 innocent inhumans were killed because of the Accords.

4x04 Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire

Jemma, NEVER trust email offers on apartments. Especially if it meets your criteria exactly.

The soft Quake theme as Daisy’s literally bleeding out.

So May’s just there, with nothing to entertain herself with? At least let her watch TV or give her her phone.

May’s just thinking “I could’ve gone out at the hands of anything, but Radcliffe? Really?”

Also the drinking. Why is Daisy kinda having a drinking problem not talked about either?

People will hate Daisy for holding a gun to Jemma. You guys actually think Daisy would have pulled the trigger on Jemma??? Heck I don’t think Jemma even believed Daisy would pull the trigger.

And of course, a vintage car chase in the famous LA River.

Mack the entire chase: “Please, for the love of god, let me work on Lola”

Dorky Coulson with the Grease reference.

“Hey-lo”

“We did everything we could for him” But you guys couldn’t do the same for Daisy??

“Suck it up” Again, stuff not to say to people who are depressed.

Of course, the fire starter guy works at a fireworks store.

“Take a stand with me. Fight back. Take control of your life again” I’ve seen people call this being reckless, but Daisy only wants what’s best for her people.

DO NOT tell the robot that lying saves lives. DO NOT tell a robot that EVER!

“I know. That’s the point” DAISY LITERALLY JUST DOESNT WANT THE PEOPLE SHE CARES ABOUT TO LOSE AS MUCH AS SHE HAS.

ALSO!! The gun Jemma brought that Daisy held to her… WAS AN ICER. So Daisy wasn’t going to kill her even if she did pull the trigger, which she certainly was not going to.

“Huh”⛓🔥

“Did two fire dudes fall into a warehouse full of fireworks”

Coulson, you gotta be dramatic with just throwing the tablet on the ground?

4x05 Lockup

It’s definitely interesting watching this season after WandaVision and Multiverse of Madness. But I will always love shield more for how they handled the Darkhold.

Love snarky Daisy.

“Lucy and the whole Peanuts gang”

Mack delegating. Director Mackenzie foreshadowing.

“I didn’t always have powers, and I think I did alright” I love you Daisy.

“Oh, hell!” That’s my reaction too. I don’t like needles either, Mack😅

“Stop whining” Oh May. I love you.

Blue-skinned killers in Wyoming. So those Kree were reported.

THANK YOU DIRECTOR MACE

Now that’s May and Coulson’s “stay away from our daughter” fight.

This is probably the only time they talk about Daisy being suicidal, and it’s to degrade her.

I feel like May was the only person to talk to Daisy in a way that didn’t make her the bad guy. She was stern, in her very May way, but she never put Daisy down or called her the bad guy or that she’s a terrible person for trying to protect the people she loves.

Fuck Ellen Nadeer

4x06 The Good Samaritan

Again, I love that Robbie and Gabe are so close and they are always looking out for one another despite their situations.

“Geese? I have zero geese. We are goose free”😃🦆

May concerned with Fitzsimmons’ relationship. At least she is cause I sure as heck am not.

This flashback is so deep and so powerful oh my god.

UGH Daisy being so supportive of Robbie during this time. If the show had went down the route of Quakerider being a thing, I would have been so down for that! I’m more of a casual Quakerider shipper, but they would 100% be otp if it went down that road.

Mace canonically collected Hot Wheels.

What do you mean it’s not possible Fitz? Ghost Rider just broke out.

“ROYGBIV clearance”

Isodine mention! I really need to rewatch Agent Carter.

“Sounds a little Fox News to me”

Sorry if I don’t say a lot for this episode. I’m kinda working on something at the same time😅

Shut up, Fitz.

“Like the angel” “No, I’m the other one”

4x07 Deals With Our Devils

I like how May has protection gear (the glasses/goggles) while Mack only has his shotgun axe😅

“Impossible things happen all the team” THANK YOU DAISY.

Not the biggest fan of this Simmons side story because 1) it’s another annoying Fitzsimmons separation storyline, and 2) it introduces Vijay (who deserved better) and we never go anywhere with that.

“Melinda, don’t you dare” one of the very few times someone (Mack) other than Coulson calls her Melinda.

“My axe is plenty sharp… and a shotgun”

Daisy is always the best at comforting people a shame that people couldn’t do the same. yes, i will never be over it.

“Mack, what’s gotten into you?” THE FREAKING GHOST RIDER, THATS WHAT

“I hate watching my own demise”

Fitz, can you think of the current situation instead of Simmons or yourself right now???

“It heals itself. Scientifically impossible self healing car” Keep telling yourself that, Daisy😂

“WiTh No HeLmEtS” Oh Mace.

“What’s your name?” “Nathanson, ma’am. What can I do?” “Get lost Nathanson”

But I am glad Jemma was able to help Vijay out. It is a really sweet scene.

“She’s a tool” and you wonder why Aida turned evil other than reading the Darkhold.

“He lost hope” UUGGGHHHHH IMMA GO CRY NOW.

Okay, but Ghost Rider Mack is so BADASS.

“Attagirl” Robbie’s seen what Daisy can do and has been through, so he knows she’s capable of doing some crazy shit.

“I love this car” I feel like that’s every car guy in this show😅

“Oh, I am so thick” yes, Fitz, you are.

So could Aida hear Fitz speaking to her, or is that a decision she made herself?

What’s with Fitz and blaming other people for making decisions to better themselves and the people they care about?

Is it mean to say that I don’t care about Fitzsimmons this episode?

But I do love Coulson being a father figure towards the younger members of the team.

“I can’t help you. Have fun”

Okay, yeah, Aida said she can hear them.

I forget how good this episode is. oh my god!

Hope 4/18/06😭😭

4x08 Laws of Inferno Dynamics

As someone with emetophopia, this puking up diamonds scene makes me super uncomfortable.

“Ignoring the fact that I was mildly attracted to her”

NO DO NOT SEND MAY! THIS IS HOW WE GET INTO ANOTHER MESS!

Mack is just done with people sometimes. Honestly same😅

“I do not like magic. Or clowns. Or clowns with knives… in the dark”

Burning Man™️

Again, SCREW SEASON 5 FOR RUINING DAISY AND ELENA’S FRIENDSHIP!! UGH THEY WERE SO GOOD!

Mack caring for Yo-Yo🥹

Elena worried about losing her favorite jacket😂

“A) I don’t care. B) That wasn’t me”

Always hand it to Elizabeth and Iain to remember all the science jargon, but I wanna know how the writers come up with it all and make it make sense haha.

Everyone just wants to see a freaking nuclear weapon.

Daisy’s teasing again🥹

I JUST REMEMBERED THE MACKELENA KISS IS IN THIS EPISODE OMG IM SO EXCITED!

Surprised this is the first time Daisy notices she can sense a quake coming. Thought it would have been there since she got her powers.

“This is water” “Wow, i’M sO iMpReSsEd”

the CHAINSSSSSS

“Agent Coulson, you should be dead” “Yeah, I get that a lot”

Sorry, Eli. Laws of Nature was a last season episode.

Oh look, for one, THEY’RE ACTUALLY CARING ABOUT DAISY’S HEALTH!!!

THIS FIGHT SCENE WITH MACE IN THE SUIT AND ELENA COMING IN AND CHANGING THINGS!!!

Okay, now, WHO THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO PROGRAM AIDA TO BLEED AND EXPERIENCE PAIN?!?!?!

And of course, Daisy lands right in front of the press.

“Maybe in the comic book version”🤣

MACKELENA KISS MACKELENA KISS MACKELENA KISS AHHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHHH!!!!

And Daisy and Coulson 100% saw that.

Well, RIP Nathanson.

And hello, LMD May.

And there goes that bottle of Haig

Pairing: MulledCaviar (Mulled Juice Cookie x Captain Caviar Cookie)

Rating: Teen and Up

Summary: After a chat with Captain Caviar, Mulled Juice decides that he wants to ask the man out on a date. However, it turns out that all his worry and practice was for nothing.

A/N: Hey everyone! Ummm the only thing I really wanted to say is that I hope Mulled Juice and Captain Caviar aren't too OOC in this :') I tried to rewatch a little bit of The Odyssey to remind myself of how they act but yeah- also, likewise, if I get some details wrong please please forgive me lol

But anyway! I hope you all enjoy and thank you in advance for reading :D

.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.

The Republic weather, as usual, was fair, with a perfect mix of sun and wind to create a pleasant afternoon. One man of high status, with bubbling red hair, walked through the city, cocktail in hand (as usual). Usually, he would be standing near the fountains or by buildings, immersed entirely in his own thoughts—which, to him, were more interesting than the static things that took place around him. However, today he had a mission to carry out—or, more specifically, a particular cookie he was dying to see, that led his path toward the sea.

Mulled Juice could tell he was nearing said sea by the way the air grew crisper, lighter, and saltier the more he stepped toward it. Next, he could hear the hollering of a voice he knew far too well—one that was raspy, with a twang to it. As he grew closer, he spotted the cookie and heard that he was giving orders. He must’ve sensed Mulled Juice coming because his gaze lifted from the sea and landed on the man.

“Mulled Juice!” Captain Caviar called out. He looked happier than Mulled Juice expected (not like Mulled Juice was complaining). “Now, what brings ya down here?” He stepped a bit closer to the fellow Elder, though they were still a fair distance away from each other.

“I…suppose I just wanted to talk to you about the last few Council meetings we’ve had,” Mulled Juice began. He briefly cleared his throat. “I highly enjoyed hearing you talk. I like how you stand up for your own opinions, and how you’re not afraid to do so even when they differ from the fellow Elders’. And I applaud you for that.”

Captain Caviar stared at Mulled Juice for a few moments; then, he made a pfft noise and scratched the back of his neck. “Geez. Well! I didn’t expect ya to come here and tell me that,” he said with a chuckle. “That was a lot.”

Mulled Juice didn’t show it, but deep down he felt a bit hurt by that. He lived inside of his own world so much that oftentimes, he didn’t know the correct ways to carry out a conversation and he’d even been told before that it made him come across as a bit awkward sometimes. This must have been one of these moments. “I do apologize,” Mulled Juice said, quickly but a bit quietly. “I should be taking my leave now.”

“Wait, no!” Captain Caviar called out. “I didn’t mean that in a bad way or anythin’. It’s really nice to hear, actually.”

Mulled Juice tilted his head to the side slightly. “Really?”

Captain Caviar laughed. “Of course!” He turned back toward the sea, musingly. “I just really can’t stand how the rest of the Elders—especially you-know-who—have taken a blind eye to my citizens and the cookies of the Lower City in general. I’d finally had enough of it, I guess.”

Mulled Juice took a sip of his cocktail in thought, scratching his chin and making an mmm sound. “That’s reasonable. Your speech took my breath away, and I enjoyed how you delivered it.”

Captain Caviar let out a sort of barking laugh. “Even with my yellin’ and bitchin’, ya liked it?”

“Yes,” Mulled Juice replied. “Your honesty was not…’bitching.’” He hesitated to swear on that last word.

“Well…thanks. I mean it, man,” Captain Caviar replied. “It’s nice to see one of y’all is on my side.”

Mulled Juice nodded in response, and the two stood in awkward silence for an uncomfortable amount of time.

Finally, Captain Caviar spoke up, hand rubbing the back of his neck again. “Well, I should be going back to work, unfortunately.”

“I understand,” Mulled Juice said with a nod. “I have other tasks I should complete as well.”

Captain Caviar saluted Mulled Juice with a big grin on his face. “Seeya! Thanks for comin’ down!”

“Of course,” Mulled Juice replied. “It was my pleasure speaking with you, as usual.”

Captain Caviar walked away, arms crossed, stepping closer to the deck. Mulled Juice stared at the back of his head for a few more seconds before taking his leave as well.

Evidently, Captain Caviar stayed on Mulled Juice’s mind the entire rest of the day.

.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.

“Greetings, Captain Caviar. I was just wondering if you wanted to go on a small…outting with me, tomorrow night at nine o’clock? Hmph, no…”

Mulled Juice stared back at his expression in the reflection created by the fountain’s waters. His face heated up considerably at his own realization of how dull and awkward he sounded; he smacked his side lightly and took in a deep breath, preparing himself to practice again.

“Greetings, Captain Caviar. I’ve been meaning to ask you—would you like to go on a small date with me, at the Eel and Escargot Eatery, tomorrow night at nine o’clock?” Mulled Juice stayed silent for a few seconds. That was considerably better. All he needed to do now was get his voice to be where it was actually steady and not a shaking mess.

He’d been thinking a lot about Captain Caviar and came to the conclusion that he wanted to try to go on a date with him. The man piqued Mulled Juice’s interest immensely, and not entirely in platonic ways. After a lot of thought, he decided to practice asking Captain Caviar out first, before actually doing it (which he would get to, eventually—he was determined).

Unfortunately, though, passersby on the Republic streets took notice of this practicing, many of them giving him strange looks as they saw him peering down into the fountain water and talking to himself.

“I wonder what Elder Mulled Juice is doing,” one of these pedestrians noted, speaking to his friend. “Look at him! He’s just standing there by the fountain and talking to himself.”

His friend brushed it off, making a small ‘pfft’ sound. “Oh, Elder Mulled Juice is always doing stuff like that. You know how weird it is! Don’t pay him any mind.”

“Ah, you’re right,” the curious cookie said back. “I wonder why he’s always acting like that.”

“Who knows,” his friend replied. “Let’s just go get something to eat, eh? I am just starving!”

“Me too! And that sounds like a plan to me.”

That left Mulled Juice to be alone, going through many trials and errors with himself and that plaza fountain. He was determined to succeed…one way or another.

.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.

A few days later, Mulled Juice had finally decided he was comfortable enough with the prospect of asking Captain Caviar out on a date. Looking just the same as he had last time (though, if one were to pay close attention, they would notice that the man was walking slightly slower than the previous time he’d been there), Mulled Juice trekked toward the sea. Also just as last time, he soon caught sight of Captain Caviar and heard him too as he hollered orders.

Mulled Juice cleared his throat, thickly. “Captain Caviar.”

The dark-haired man snapped his neck toward the sound of his name, and a huge grin crossed his face as he saw Mulled Juice. “Mulled Juice! Hey there,” he called. “How ya doin’?”

“I am doing just fine,” Mulled Juice replied. “Better now that I’m seeing you.” That last part, Mulled Juice swore, had just slipped out; some ultra-confident, macho man had seemed to possess his body for a solid few seconds, and a smirk crossed Mulled Juice’s face to fit that.

Captain Caviar smiled back, though his grin was a lot softer. “Likewise, actually!” he said. He did that neck-rub thing that he always did again. “Actually,” he added after a pause, “there has…kinda been somethin’ I’ve been meanin’ to ask ya.”

“Oh?” Mulled Juice replied, taking a sip of his cocktail. “And what is that?”

“Well, I was wonderin’ if maybe ya’d go on a date with me? I was thinkin’ the Eel and Escargot Eatery.”

Mulled Juice, quite literally, nearly spat out his drink. Had Captain Caviar…read his mind or something? He’d had such a surreal feeling that he, unknowingly, paused for a good few seconds, unable to answer Captain Caviar’s question.

“Uh…Mulled Juice?” Captain Caviar called out. He waved one of his hands a little. “Hellooooo?”

Mulled Juice was snapped back into reality by this, and shot his eyes to look at Captain Caviar once again, who didn’t appear angry at all—in fact, he just gave the red-haired cookie a toothy grin.

“Why, um…yes, Captain Caviar. I would really enjoy going on a date with you.” The words nearly spilled out of Mulled Juice, like water from a sink faucet.

Captain Caviar’s grin grew even wider, and his hands clasped to his hips. “Great! That’s awesome,” he replied. “I’ll call up for reservations, hopefully they’ll book us tomorrow?”

“That sounds excellent,” Mulled Juice replied. “Inform me of any updates, please.”

“I will!” Captain Caviar told him. He chuckled, loudly. “Wow, I can’t believe I actually got the courage to ask! I’ve been wantin’ to do it for months.”

Mulled Juice grinned. Typical blunt Captain Caviar. “Well, I am glad you did.”

Captain Caviar laughed again and the two waved their goodbye, as both of them had a busy day planned that day. “And, hey, Mulled Juice?” Captain Caviar called out right before the cookie was going to leave.

“Yes?”

“Thanks.”

Mulled Juice nodded. “It’s no problem.”

“And uh…best not to tell the others about this,” Captain Caviar added, laughing ferociously. (‘The others’ was surely referring to the fellow Elders.)

“Agreed.”

Mulled Juice left then, carrying on his day. One day, he decided internally (perhaps even tomorrow if things went well enough), he would mention to Captain Caviar that he’d gone to the sea to ask the man the very same question, and ask him on a date to the very same eatery—and, they would have a laugh about it together as they clicked their drinks in a toast. It was amusing how things worked that way sometimes.

Okay, it’s been a bit since I watched Hannibal (certainly overdue a rewatch). If this doesn’t spark anything then I’d be happy to hear your thoughts/headcannons on Will and Hannibal’s relationship and how they are with one another.

Imagine a light bit of voyeurism. Will for whatever reason stumbles upon Hannibal in the middle of something rather heated. Perhaps a kill? Relaxing and relieving himself after a stressful day or maybe engaging in something more… nasty. Will can’t help but watch and it leaves him an absolute mess which needs to be taken care of either by himself in the moment or by Hannibal who knows he’s watching or catches him in the act.

(P.S.) It’s been a long day so if you like the ask but need more details then I can come back with a clearer head and flesh it all out.

Gosh I'm on my third rewatch rn and hyper analyzing all the characters this round and oh fuckin' baby pin pointing the moment Will is like 'am I,,,attracted to this man???' is so funny. Like scruffy boy does his hair, dresses up, and Everything for a doctor??? Kay, not fruity at all.

Reblogs > Likes. Please Reblog if you hit like to support future content like this and support ur local writer :D

Warnings: R18+/NSFT under the cut, Will is a trans man with top surgery but not bottom! His genitalia is referred to as cock/dick/hole, consensual voyeurism, Switch bi murder husbands is my jam

____

Intimacy found its shape in unconventional ways in their lives. Will was no stranger to finding intimacy in...strange lighting. It had worried him when he was younger, but after he had met Hannibal; It just seemed like 'strange' and 'unconventional' became the norm. Some sort of...comfort found within it.

Intimacy found its form within a kill. Where Will, ever the dutiful dog chasing away the mongooses that he was, held their prey in his arms as Hannibal landed the killing blow. Where blood would splatter upon Will's cheek and glasses. And Hannibal would cup his cheek, dabbing the blood off adoringly with a clean handkerchief and murmuring something poetic by Will's ear. Just the right amount to make Will's ears burn.

Intimacy in the conventional sense of dates, physical touch, and even sex were to be had. But in those moments are the ones Will found himself flushing red to his ears. When Hannibal's voice rumbled smoothly through his ears like silk and reciting handmade poetry. As if Will just stroked that within him.

Today? Today looks like it will be a conventional intimacy day.

Their current home is in Italy. The architecture is stunning, gorgeous even. Whatever home of the mind Hannibal had once described as his mental palace, Will is sure it looked similarly to this one. Walking the halls felt like walking into a museum with its lush paintings and beautiful tiling.

Will has come home early, dropping groceries in the kitchen with a special wine bottle reserved for his husband. His steps are quiet, measured, cautious even now as he walks through the home. His scent may not have been what Hannibal's was, but his sense of hearing could rival.

And what he hears is the soft gasping sighs of Hannibal.

At the beginning of the hall, Will removes his shoes so he won't make a sound on the hard floor. Carefully creeping down the hall to the cracked open door where the sound is swirling out into the hall.

What Will sees as he cautiously peers around in the dark is Hannibal. Beautiful pink lighting from the sunset filtering through the windows and down onto their grand bed. Hannibal has one hand sliding through his hair, messing up the otherwise neatness of it. He's got his head twisted, pressing his face towards his forearm as if to hide.

His other hand is between his legs, grabbing his cock and thumbing over the wet head. His balls are flushed, a clear sign he's been edging himself besides how prominent his veins are on his cock. Will so rarely gets to see him undone. Always so put together...

Hannibal would have picked up on his scent by now, no doubt. Perhaps Will could make believe that in the throes of passion like this that he wouldn't notice; But Will knows better than to think that way.

Besides, Will thinks with a small smirk, Hannibal always said what was dinner without a show.

So Will watches, pressing himself to the wall to not be seen. His hand goes to his trousers, undoing the button and fly as he sinks his hand into his boxers. Wet already on his fingertips as he presses his index and middle on either side of his cock, sliding the foreskin back to thumb over his cock with a shudder.

Hannibal's sharp, quiet gasp is heard. And Will takes it in with lidded eyes. How his head tips back to reveal his throat like prey, how he moves to lie on his back so he can lazily thrust his hips up into his loose fist. It makes Will swallow tightly, seeing the flex of Hannibal's thighs and ass. How he wished to cup under him, lick and kiss his hole until Hannibal was whimpering his name.

Hannibal whines this sound, low and guttural. It morphs from a growl to a, "Will-". That frustrated tone he got whenever Will would stop what he was doing halfway through just to have Hannibal beg. Or throw him down to the floor. They both went both ways.

Will's breath hitches, jerking his cock lightly. Watching how Hannibal's brow creases in frustration at his own ministrations. Stopping his own touch to cling tight to the sheets as his dick weeps pre-cum, flushed and upset.

"Do you wish to watch or participate?" Hannibal's voice cuts through the silence, breathy and not even looking up from his position on the bed. He sounds cheeky, despite looking like a God ready to be vanquished by a heroic. Bathed in pink and gold, a layer of sweat clinging to him like morning dew.

"If I said just watch," Will says from the shadows, his own voice thick and low in arousal, "I fear you'd combust in frustration."

"Perhaps," Hannibal offers him, propping himself up on one elbow so he can look in the direction of the door. His hair a mess, his cock hanging heavy on his thigh. A horrible, terribly attractive smirk on his face. "Or perhaps you would."

Will shouldn't take the bait. But he can't help it. He huffs to himself, entering the room and finding himself climbing onto the bed. Fitting between Hannibal's spread thighs and letting his warm touch grace Hannibal's flesh of his thighs. Enjoying the way Hannibal's hips tip upwards at just the smallest of his touches.

"Don't let my presence stop you, Doctor." Will mutters, this cheeky tone to his voice. Pressing on Hannibal's thighs to spread him further apart, making sure to make him feel exposed. "Let me watch you. We both know you'll be begging for my touch soon enough. Never do it just right, do you?"

Hannibal's smirk is ruined by the flush on his cheeks. But they both know he couldn't resist his husband. Not when he sighs, taking himself in hand with his left hand, the light of the sun reflecting off his ring purposefully. Lying himself back down to touch himself.

And, of course, find ways to make Will give in and sink his canines into his throat.

I spent January 1 watching YoI and it’s the best way to start a new year, I guess

So, yes, after all these years I finally watched Yuri on Ice. The biggest thanks to all people, who recommended me to do it, because it was amazing :) 

Now, beware of my incoherent rambling about the characters, the plot, figure skating, Victuri (Victuuri?), LGBTQ+ representation, and Russia, just because I need this 🙃

First of all, I had never thought that one day I would end up having a crush on a Russian man, but here I am, having crush on a Russian 2D man. Victor Nikiforov, how dare you steal my heart like this! He’s some kind of a damn Russian Apollo... So I perfectly understand Yuri’s gay panic in the first couple of episodes 🤣 dude, I feel you.....

What I specifically liked about the characters, it’s their growth. They were not frozen, but gradually developed to become more mature towards the end. Victor becoming less selfish, more compassionate and empathic; Yuri becoming mentally stronger and more confident. And Yurio... he’s such a lovely pirozhochek!!! :D Really, this “I-am-strong-and-independent-grown-up” kid with his love to pirozhki is just 🥰 But yes, he also mentally grew.

For me as a Russian, it was a pleasure to see normal Russian characters in a foreign show. They were talented and nice, wow, that really happened!!! Honestly, I’m so sick of this “bad-drinking-vodka-prison-tatoos-nucklear-weapon-terrible-accent” narrative (I watched Tenet the other day, and I was literally sitting like this 😐 the entire film; they forgot to add a bear for the full picture). And normal Cyrillic! Not perfect or 100% correct, but at least it was readable and understandable, not just a classic American movie with a Russian text, which looks like this - зжэщгардгрвъ шщыралойцы фвзпролдрппппп (yes, I just hit my keyboard). The same applies to the athletes from other countries. Kazakhstan!! Otabek!!!! 

I also needed to pause one of the episodes just to scream at this

Aeroflot (rus - Аэрофлот) is a Russian airline. And yeah, it sucks 😄

But seriously, you can clearly see that they did their research, cared for details and payed attention to things, and I, as a foreign viewer, really appreciated this. I really hope, that one beautiful day shows’ producers start to make characters from different cultures, who are just... you know... ordinary normal people? and not just a bunch of stereotypes?? or necessarily devilish evil just because they are from another country??? 

And now, the ship! 

I’m not really familiar with a lot of anime, and definitely not familiar with genres like yaoi, although I’ve heard about its stereotypes and certain common patterns. Here, however, it was a pleasure to see a same-sex relationship, which was not just a cool fetish for some young straight girls (nothing against young straight girls), but like... an actual relationship? Plus the creators successfully embedded it into the main plot, without shifting the central focus of the show and abandoning the actual sport competitions. 

I really enjoyed the delicate approach to the relationship’s development. Considering the characters’ own path of progress, the relationship they formed were equal and mature. Also their care and clear tenderness towards each other were speaking louder than words.

Sidenote. I had never realized how much I needed a Russian non-straight character in my life until, well, yesterday. Thankfully, I had the Internet since I was around 11, so I spent my teenage years watching a lot of American/ West-European tv-series. LGBTQ+ representation was not something out of the ordinary, it was not a taboo; and it mattered to me, a young girl, who tried to figure out what the F was going on with my own self. But I had never seen a Russian LGBTQ+ fictional character on the screen. Ever. Honestly, I had never payed attention to this fact. Normally I don’t really care about a person’s nationality, so I couldn’t even think that having some queer character, who is Russian, would be somehow important to me. As it turned out yesterday, it was actually important. And, I guess, one of the deeply personal reasons why I liked YoI, was the fact of seeing someone from my own country and my own culture, who was non-straight and being just fine and perfect the way he was. Even though I’m not a struggling young girl anymore. 

Okay, back to the tale, before I become a teary mess again. 

Their relationship was heartwarming to watch. Although there were clearly some sexual undertones, it didn’t end up being just some sexy gay boys. It was definitely about the growth of love, firstly fragile but becoming stronger and more affectionate with time. Their bond became psychologically equal; and they do complement each other, being codependent in the best sense. And it was beautiful. 

However, from what I quickly gathered while reading a few comments, some people still claimed that there was not enough clarity in terms of their relationship?? I have to disagree with this completely. Excuse me, but you don’t exchange matching golden rings in a church with your friend to wear it on your ring finger. You definitely don’t passionately kiss it seconds before an important performance. And you don’t cry your eyes out if your friend suggests you to end your partnership. If you do, I have some news for you, dear 🤡

I honestly can’t figure out what kind of a bigger clarity some people want. If the same plot was shown between a man and a woman, you would get the message from the episode 1. Or at least from that episode, where they were naked making out i mean...... practicing some moves?? wtf it was, honestly, I was too busy laughing 😆 However, seriously, what do you need? Is this really necessary to show an R-rated sex scene for some people just to get it? Lame. 

Sure, YoI was not perfect. Some bits with figure skating were off, and there was some obvious magic going on in terms of homophobia, more specifically - its absence. I mean, I’m not an expert in LGBTQ+ rights in Japan (although I know it’s not  that great), but if a Russian figure skater came out or just had some kind of (publicly known) unidentified close relationship with a same-sex partner, their successful career would be over. And not just Russian, I guess, any figure skater would face similar problems. It’s a very conservative sport. 

But, actually, I was grateful that they showed it the way they did. Fairytale-ish. A show doesn’t have to be realistic to be great. It’s enough if it warms our hearts and gives hope to the brighter future. The real world may be cruel and unjust, but we all need kind and reassuring stories to keep us going. And such story about caring relationship and love is the great example of this. 

Lovely, funny, refreshing, and heartwarming. 

Or, just quoting Victor

vkusno!!! (c) 

😄

I will definitely rewatch it at some points in my life.

and now excuse me, I need to fall into the rabbit hole of fanfiction, haha stupid me

P.S. 

This moment was

Previous/next/first

I am going to rewatch one episode of ninjago a day until I ether give up or finish I will put my thoughts down as I watch it and rate each episode out of ten. I missed a day because I was busy all day.

Day 5

Season 1 episode 5 can of worms

All the other ninja have legitimate reasons to be mad at Lloyd. But Kai is just angry over a video game score which I find hilarious.

This is gremlin Lloyd at his finest

Why is Zane so upset at his gi being pink. He literally wore a pink apron back in episode two

Baby Lloyd’s laugh :)

Kai had no problem with nya living with them two episodes ago

Also kai stop being sexist to your sister

He looks so guilty when nya says she can hear him. I guess season 1 & 2 kai dies have a Conscience.

Nya did not hesitate to throw the darts at her brothers head. Sibling bond at its finest. Also revenge.

Jay everyone can see your simping from a mile away.

Why would the elemental alliance put the tombs in the snake shape. It just makes it easier for trouble makers to open the tombs

SIMP. JAY IS SUCH A SIMP. Also post season 8 jays simping has nothing on season ones jays simping

Yes, jive the one thing that can stop the Sneks to your immature students who more times than not mess up and loos what ever they had been guarding.

PINK GI ZANE MY BELOVED

This is funny because Cole is literally carrying a cars worth of metal on his back.

Mail man :D also what the heck is he saying

Oh yes the plot convenient prophecy on a wall. Could they not just had pythor monologe about the devour instead

Small detail, Cole notices the constrictai burrowing underground first because he is the master of earth

The constrictai are probably my least favorite Snek just because of how boring they are. Like all the other tribes have cool powers but the constrictai just have super strength.

Why is Zane’s vision getting blurry he is literally a nindroid.

Once again coles slash should have literally chopped his head off

Music 10/10

Coles chili must be really bad if everyone hates it

I love the tree climbing

Why does I am only echo not evrey thing else Jay said

That frog is just eww

Best part of this episode kai gets high on venomari venom

Kai is aparently afraid of gingerbread men and elves. I don’t know wether to find that funny or sad.

Butt jokes always make me laugh for some reason

This is why wu should never give the ninja any important thing. They always lose it

High Kai is peek Comedy

Kai’s hand is clipping into jays hand

Samurai x kicking butt since 2012

Zane talks with coles voice

Jays simp-o-meter can simp over nya even in disguise

Kai’s Santa? Makes me loose my crap every time

How do they not notice nyas bracelet. Like come on they have probably scene it like a million times. Kai especially, but I can give him a pass because he is high

Also how does the sleeping gas work on Zane?

Says samurai were the highest class of Warrior and were noble. Literally insults them in the pilots calling them slow and clunky

They look like they are so done with Kai’s crap. I love high kai

Smack. After I first watched this episode any time I would get potstickers with my family I would smack them on my face and laugh and my family would look at me like I had grown two heads

Can of worms roll credits

They don’t blame Lloyd for this or say it wasn’t his fault they just say you can’t change what you did in the past but you can change your actions in the future. I love this because it’s avoiding the we forgive you it’s not you fault trope.

And rip high kai you will be missed. Also the venom just wares off for plot convenience. I wish they would have kept the gag going untill the end of the episode. It would have been hilarious

Small detail, Zane’s spinjitzu changes from white to pink when he changes his clothes

Kai’s scream is hilarious

That is very specific Cole

Our first time seeing ninjago city. And it looks so bad compared to newer Ninjago city.

Kai being smart :)

How not they not see the ninja

This makes me angry that they didn’t notice him

Zane be Indiana Joansing

Bros support bros

Oh zane I’m so proud of you, you are using phrases :D

Jays gonna have a lot of bad frostbite after this

Gremlin Lloyd my son

Final thoughts

This episode was just as enjoyable as I remembered. The jokes were funny and Kai being high was amazing. There was a reason this was my second favorite episode from season one. Over all I give this episode a 9.5/10

[dimonds456]

*sees your tags about being salty about suf spinel*

YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT AND NOT SHARE YOUR SALT /LH

Okay, but I'm warning you, you asked for it.

LONG POST WARNING.

LIKE A REALLY, REALLY LONG POST WARNING.

Dimonds456 Presents: How They Did My Baby Dirty: An SUTM and SUF Analysis on Steven and Spinel (Told by a Progressively More and More Angry Narrator)

THE CONTEXT: There was a post talking about how you think a character will fix everything, but then they wind up making it works. My tags were "#*looks at suf spinel* #I am still salty about that like the bitch I am fghdjskgfa"

Grab some water, guys.

Let's start by talking about Steven for a moment. In the original show, when we were following him as a 12-14-year-old, we watched as he built up trauma and then learned how to hide it expertly well, to the point that most of the audience didn't even realize he was struggling.

You can actually pinpoint the seconds he makes those decisions, too. The best example is in "The Test," when he's storming up to the gems. He's pissed. His fists are clenched, he's got that anime eye shadow overlay on his face, he's frowning, all that. the Crystal Gems are clapping for him and lying to his face, and he KNOWS they are because he overheard them talking about how it was "impossible for him to fail" that test (- Garnet).

And yet... he also overheard them saying that they're just trying their best. They don't know what he needs. They never really have. No one is sure. So, Steven realizes that by picking a fight, he would just be making it worse for them because they would know they messed up, and nothing gets solved, and everyone gets more depressed and Amethyst and Pearl go back to fighting each other and- well, you get the picture. He doesn't have a full understanding of what's going on, so his kid brain went "so I can either be angry at them and cause problems, or I can tell them I did a good job to make them happy."

"I can lie to make them happy."

He storms down there angry, still mulling this decision over. He drops to the floor, frowning and pissed, and says "I can't believe you guys." He is so close to yelling at them, and yet, when he looks up at them...

"That was so... INSANE!"

You never would have been able to tell. It was right there. That moment. And then he never stops. For the ENTIRE REST of the series, he NEVER STOPS. He puts the Crystal Gems above himself every time. Think Rose's Scabbard, The Message, The Return/Jailbreak. The Cluster. Peridot. Dealing with Jasper. The zoo arc (ESPECIALLY the zoo arc). Aquamarine. Then pretty much the entirety of Season 5.

(NOTE: I went back and rewatched that scene for the screenshot. There is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it lip tremble in there too! D,: )

He lives for the people around him, and not for himself. Almost never for himself.

Put a pin in that.

Now, let's look at his maturity. People thought that was just him being mature, right? That he grew up. No. That was not it at all. He was learning from his own behaviors as well as the people around him, and building up this idea that he had to "fight to be everything that everyone wants [him] to be when [he's] grown" (- Steven, the extended intro).

Yes, he matured, but not because of that. He started making various decisions to benefit the group that oftentimes he wasn't fully comfortable with, but something he believed would be better for everyone.

Put a pin in that.

Then, later in Future, we see it all manifest. He is selfless to a fault, to the point that he can't think of himself in a positive light in the sense that he's good. We see it a couple of times, but especially in "Prickly Pair," when he vents to Cactus Steven about everything that happened. He feels useless, which is taking a toll on his mental health.

"Why do I need to be needed?" He needs to be needed because that's everything he was as a kid. His entire IDENTITY rests on his ability to help other people, no matter what happens to him. He literally sacrificed himself for them countless times (the big one of course being the Aquamarine incident), and now as a teenager, his whole sense of self is wrapped up in this need to get up and do something to make the world better.

And when he can't make the world better, his world falls apart.

Put a pin in that.

Now, let's talk about Spinel, the moment we've all been waiting for.

Spinel, as a gem, was made specifically to be a friend. That is her niche, and her purpose. Her reason for existing. At first, she and Pink Diamond got along very well, as shown in the flashbacks right before Drift Away plays (I headcanon she has illusion powers and was literally projecting her trauma, but that's a completely different post).

She and Pink vibed together for who knows how long, until one day, Pink started to not like being around Spinel anymore, finding her annoying and childish. We don't know what really caused the switch, just that it did happen (but of course, I have headcanons for that, too). Spinel never realized until it was FAR too late.

Steven actually describes his younger self as annoying at one point during the Diamond Days arc, when he decides to throw the ball, so I'm legally allowed to make this comparison.

Steven and Spinel were the SAME. They were both young and dumb, and something that at least a few people found annoying. People put up with their BS though, since they cared about them. But, while Steven realized this and matured because of it (or bottled up his emotions, to each their own), Spinel never did. She never matured. She was never given a chance.

In the movie, we saw her as a child, and watched as she played with Pink and never tried to be or do anything else, to the point that Pink Diamond thought to realize she might be struggling (and maybe Spinel didn't, either!).

She lives for the people around him, and not for herself. Almost never for herself.

And when she can't be friends with this one person, her world falls apart.

Sound familiar? It should. I literally pulled from things I said earlier lol.

Spinel and Steven are mirror reflections of each other. Reset!Spinel is 14-year-old Steven, completely devoting her entire self to one idea. Steven's was helping others no matter what, Spinel's was serving Pink no matter what. Spinel is like a combination of 14 and 12-year-old Steven in this sense, honestly. Goofy, without a care in the world, except one thing: the people around her. She would do anything for Pink, just as Steven would do anything for his family.

Now, Pink Diamond left Spinel. We all know this story. She left Spins there in the garden for 6,000 years because she grew more mature and started a rebellion, effectively forgetting about this one gem she kinda stopped caring about standing there.

Personally, I don't think Pink had any malicious or even intentional intent in that, but this ain't about her. This is about how Spinel continued to sacrifice herself for Pink, even when Pink didn't need her to anymore. She wanted to please Pink 24/7, all day every day, to the point she self-sacrificed and stood perfectly still for her for millenia.

Now, back to Steven. The gems don't need him anymore in Future, right? They've all grown up and matured and headed off towards their own futures, effectively stranding him alone in terms of self-identity and self-worth. But he stays there, ready to assist at the drop of a hat, or- in Future's case- the call of a phone.

Episode 6 anyone? The one everyone says shouldn't be in Future? That it should have been cut to allow more focus on Steven himself? The fusion episode? YEAH. THAT. He is running himself RAGGED to try and help others, to give himself a purpose. He is self-sacrificing. (He's a professional, don't worry. /j)

Steven metaphorically planted his feet down and decided that he was going to devote himself to the people around him.

Spinel's feet were literally tied down soon after she made that very same decision.

Okay, enough with the backstory. Time for the salt.

In Future, Steven is at his lowest low. He is running to the Diamonds for help, to see if there is SOMETHING they can do to help him. And we first see Spinel.

Spinel has been through the ringer on a lot of the same mental problems Steven himself is facing. She self-isolated, watched as everyone grew up and left her, and then began to lash out because of it. She understands what he's going through. We even see her concerned as Steven starts to tell her why he's there.

Spinel takes him from Diamond to Diamond, until he's running out of White's room in a blind panic. Spinel is able to catch up with him, and Steven realizes the same. SHE GETS IT. He turns around and says "Hey, you used to have vengeful thoughts!"

Spinel replies "Ohhhhh yeah, but I don't have 'em anymore."

"How did you make them stop?"

She then goes on to sing Change to him, effectively cutting that conversation short.

On paper, that sounds very in-character for her. She's goofy! And that is what worked for her! But the problem is that they had to dumb her down in order to make that character decision work. In the movie, she was shown to be observant and able to put two and two together, even if she often jumps to conclusions (see her being the one to figure out that the gems needed to remember their "pieces," as she remembers the Garden, her re-realizing what Pink did, and her meltdown later when she reactivates the injector).

Spinel is smart. It should have been in character for her to realize that Steven was panicking just as she had been, and needed to be talked to gently. But no. Instead, she starts belting out Change, which given Steven's situation, would not work for him.

At the very least, she would have started doing little tricks or started trying to get him to join a game, which would have taken his mind off of it (to her anyways, that wouldn't have worked either), which then could have prompted further discussion.

Then, once they finally start talking, Spinel could have been able to share some legitimate advise. She was hurt and lashed out. What worked for her was opening up to others and letting them in, learning to trust again (which Steven also has problems with- he can't trust that the Gems won't break down the second he turns his back. Trust does NOT equal love, there is no doubt he loves them to no end), and allowing other people in.

That is what Steven needed, too. He needed to let his guard down and just talk to someone. Sure, Spinel was not going to be a fix-all, but she could have at least offered some insight on what to do.

She UNDERSTANDS him. They are a reflection of each other.

But instead of offering help, Spinel made it worse. She was dumbed down to allow the rest of Future to happen, to make Steven feel even worse. Because- and here's the kicker- because the one person who MIGHT understand him doesn't, that means there's no hope for him.

At least, that's how he sees it. And so, the denial- and "Everything's Fine"- begins.

Here's the thing, though; they DIDN'T NEED to make that decision. If the Crew wanted to have Spinel not understand Steven, then draw the line of her being a Gem from Era 1, used to the Diamonds shattering people.

Steven has killed Jasper and revived her at this point, so maybe Spinel offers that at least he's trying to get better, just like the other Diamonds! See, they're doing so great now! And then that makes him feel worse since he IS trying to do better, but is only failing, while the Diamonds- who were MADE to be nasty dictators- are doing better than him.

The Diamonds shattered a lot of people, and they're doing better than Steven, who has only shattered one person, and not even on purpose. How horrible is that?

Then boom. THERE'S your angst, with a much smarter, more helpful Spinel.

Look, I knew going in that Spinel wasn't going to be able to help. The finale had to happen somehow, and we hadn't seen Wormy Boi yet. I have always been a storng believer of the corrupted Steven theory, so I knew it was bound to happen. But I was hoping that Spinel would at least try. But she really didn't. She just brushed him off, offering really loose advise that didn't even fit his situation and thinking that would be enough.

No. It's not.

I can see where the Crew was coming from. I still love that episode, and I love seeing Spins in it (until that exact moment). This is probably the only thing in SU that genuinely gets me mad. Or, well, maybe not mad, but definitely annoyed and- you guessed it- salty.

I have an unfinished fic where I kinda delve into Spinel's head for that episode called "A New Start". If you really want my thoughts on where Spinel's head was at, there's a bit in there that really explains it. In the fic, Steven decides to rejuvenate himself and brings Spinel along with him, and that's all the context you need for this.

I cannot explain that moment in the climax of the episode, though. Maybe she thought it would make him feel better, or that maybe he really did just need to open his eyes and see the error of his ways (which doesn't make sense, he KNOWS what he did). Maybe she thought that being silly would help somehow.

But you'd think she'd learn from her time with Pink as she grew more annoyed with her, but apparently not. Or maybe she would realize for a second that being loud and annoying was bad. Or maybe she doesn't learn.

Either way, it- and she- was dumb. And they did my baby dirty.

heat waves | r.c

!warnings: angst? drug abuse, breakup, swearing, toxic relationship & didn’t proof read :D

song: heat waves - glass animals

“don’t wanna but i think about you, you know that i’m never gonna lose, road shimmer wiggling the vision.”

rafe cameron was a drug addict, it’s ultimately the reason you are no longer together. but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a piece of your heart, he does and probably always will. you don’t want to think about him, fuck, you want to think about anything but him. one second your completely over him the second, you’re driving down the road which is dark and slick from the rain that has been pouring. the road shimmers almost as a ray of light shines through making it distorted. you go back to the time where you kissed rafe in the pouring rain, back to the rafe you loved.

“sometimes all i think about is you. late nights in the middle of june.”

you hated nights like tonight, staring at the ceiling wondering what if? or why? it was a chore thinking about him and sometimes that’s all that you could do. it didn’t help that when the seasons changed bringing summer back to you.

june was a special month for you. key word was. you and rafe had an off an on relationship until one summer, the middle of june, he asked you to be his.

“shut up rafe.” you gasped at his words, his cheesy grin making you smile even wider, “are you serious?!” he wraps his arms around your waist gently.

“i mean it y/n, i want you to be mine. forever.”

you blinked away the tears threatening to fall as you remembered the memory. here you were again, middle of june but this time you weren’t celebrating, you were dreading every single second that passed by.

“heat waves been faking me out, can’t make you happier now.”

though you never believed rafe cameron would make a second thought about you ever since he left, you were wrong. he would of course, never admit it, but nights when the heat was too much for him to sleep he’d toss and turn and remember what it was like to be with someone who cared about him. someone who would open the window or turn the ac higher to help him rest, but he sold that for drugs. not that he’s proud of the choice, but he doesn’t know if he regrets it. he knows he can’t make you happy, not they way you want him too.

he got caught up to fast, once a month to once a week to once a day. it wasn’t healthy and he knew this, but he had a new addiction that he couldn’t break. so inside he broke you.

“usually i put something on tv so i never think about you and me.”

you sighed, flicking through the channels you have rewatched over and over again, trying to distract yourself from the nagging thought you always had.

it was hard, unbelievably hard when every single fucking thing reminded you of him.

“you just need a better life than this, you need something i could never give.”

“rafe please just come live with me already.” you sighed, rubbing at your temples lightly. this argument is reoccurring but still makes your head pound.

“god y/n it’s just not that fucking simple okay?” he shouts at you.

“why? tell me why rafe. tell me why it can’t be simple? because i won’t let you sniff a line everyday?”

he stays silent knowing your words are true. he knew he needed to leave and that staying with you would make his life easier, but he made up every excuse not to abandon his toxic household and stay with you because he knew he would have to quit, and he wasn’t ready for that. he didn’t ever want to be ready for that.

“i’m just trying to give you a better life. a second chance.” you break the silence, he looks up at your briefly and you swear you see a small spark but it quickly fades to anger.

“i don’t need shit. like you give me anything anyways.”

you couldn’t take it anymore, you were done trying to give someone something they didn’t want. you could never give him something.

“you can’t fight it, you can’t breathe, you say something so loving but now i’ve got to let you go, you’ll be better off with someone new.”

your breakup was kind of mutual in a way. you knew that rafe was too into drugs to be invested in you or your needs. anxiety and stress level were becoming more difficult than ever for you and sometimes you couldn’t even fight back the panic attacks you would get. feeling so trapped like you could breathe inside your skin, yet the sound of rafe’s voice was so soothing.

“y/n angel.” he whispered in your hair. he had found you on the bed, tears streaming down your face as you had your first panic attack.

“rafey.” you whimpered, voice cracking. he held you tighter.

“you don’t have to talk right now, it’s okay.”

but you had to leave, and rafe knew this too. though he had the words to make you feel instantly better, he also had the words to crush your heart into a million pieces.

“god you’re such an annoying bitch sometimes. cant you ever just get over yourself.” the words stung your heart, making your eyes burn and the sensation of tears threatening to escape them. rafe knew you deserved better than him. he was a shitshow that couldn’t recover. maybe he could push you away?

“i don’t want to be alone, you know it hurts me too. you look so broken when you cry, one more and then i’ll say goodbye.”

rafe never lets the memory of you crying that night out of his head. you looked so broken from him not being able to control his substance abuse. he hated being alone, even though that’s what he was most of the time.

the convo you were dreading was finally here, the breakup. you felt it coming, you both did but you tried to avoid it as much as possible. you loved rafe, and he had learned to love you. you wanted to be with him but you also knew you both couldn’t hold back anymore.

“i don’t want this.” he stated calmly, something that doesn’t happen very often anymore. all your conversations-if you could even call them that, involved some type of yelling.

“me either, but we need it.” your words were clear and truthful.

“i know.” you both looked at each other, his hand gently reaches up toward your cheek, wiping a stray tear that you hadn’t even noticed had fallen.

“can i kiss you? one more time?” you nodded. the kiss was gentle, something like your first. it was there and then it was gone.

“goodbye y/n, for now.”

“goodbye rafe, for now.”

[xxx-theartofsuicide-xxx]

Saw this post in the Inuyasha tag, unfortunately. And I just have to ask why ship sessrin? It’s such a boring bland couple. There’s no spice, unless you’re into children. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I like some dark messed up ships, but for the life of me I don’t see anything compelling or suggestive about sessrin in the manga nor anime.

Seriously, the only reason I can see it being somewhat popular is that people self insert into Rin to fuck Sesshomaru or they like lolicon. That’s it, nothing really deep about it. 🙃

Otherwise, as a character she’s a total wet blanket with personality of generic nice kid. To make things worse, has such a dull design. Definitely, see why people love her, because if I were to pick a character somewhat close to Sesshomaru but doesn’t have any recognizable characteristics it would be hopefully “adult Rin”. Sadly, Rin’s nothing but a plot device both in the original story and in that awful sequel show.

Besides, that kinda homophobic that people don’t ship Kohaku with Sesshomaru, considering he has just as much relevance and impact with Sesshomaru as Rin does. Guess people don’t self insert into Kohaku or like shotacon. 💁🏻‍♀️

The closest romantic relationship Sesshomaru has in the original series is Kagura, who he wanted to save or honestly his freaking dad. Considering how obsessed he is with him. Lol 🤣 Otherwise, Sesshomaru is very much just an asexual individual who’s only real concerns are power and eventually learning to care about others platonically.

Which is pretty much why yashahime as a show, sucks. Boring characters, terrible plot, and horrendous animation. Sessrin is so shallow as a ship that it needs to steal from Inukag. From their friends/family, tree of ages, and rehash plot points/ character development from the original. Hell in their own series they have no engaging scenes as a couple. Other than Rin saying “Sesshomaru sama” for the millionth time. 🤮 As well as, their Mary Sue twins that look like discount Kagura/Byakuya. Are so utterly lame and boring, just like their supposed mother Rin. However, I will admit it’s funny that they die a lot on the show. 😂

Sorry got off topic, but anyways Sessrin will never be interesting nor canon. As Rumiko said herself, Inuyasha was done on chapter 588 and that Sesshomaru is Rin’s hogosha. Also, voice actor of Sesshomaru, Ken Narita has said that he can’t imagine Sesshomaru in a relationship and that this show feels like an experiment. You can look up the interview. Lastly, even the author of yashahime manga Shiina has said this terrible sequel is a what is in the inuyasha verse, not canon.

But, if you really believe people were blind and should not be disgusted by sessrin. You can rewatch episode 99 where Koga ponders about Rin and Sesshomaru to quote “I wonder why he’d let a little kid tag around him like that. Now if it was a pretty girl like Kagome, I’d understand bringing her along, but a young kid like that…” And he’s silenced mid sentence by his companions, as he pretty much suggests that Sesshomaru is only taking care of Rin, because he wants to bang her. Which is fucked up since she’s a kid.

Again, which shows that sessrin is only a ship for self inserters or pedos. That’s it nothing more or nothing less just bland nastiness. 🥱

I did not read this past "boring bland couple" bc

I love myself too much to waste time on idiots

I could feel my braincells dying as I scrolled down and all of your ad hominems began to merge together, not one of them transforming into an intelligent argument

Anyway, they're married and they fucked and had babies and Kagura is dead in the dirt and all of the other female (and male) Inuyasha characters pretty much hate Sesshomaru's guts. It feels really great being so right while you and your ilk writhe in the gutter in your wrongness. I do not envy you 😬

Imagine loving Inuyasha and the characters for all these years only to be told by the creators that everything you thought is wrong and actually hey, you don't know dick about dick 🤣 couldn’t be me

You know what I don't do ever? Ever ever ever? Send anonymous messages to people I don't like. I'm too busy using my talent to create things that I do like. Your existence seems wrought with misery. Sucks to suck I guess.

Here, this is for you, I think you need it. Good luck with coping, you seem to be having a hard time of it.
