Since my previous posts talked about elementals. I want to write an essay about them from my perspective and possible theories and headcanon I gathered so far. It might not be accurate so fill me in if you want to add or correct some of it. I love open discussion ^^

I've seen some people thought that in the early season, all elementals had not have characteristics but changed after Halilintar's incident.

Boboiboy's emotions under circumstances not only triggered the true self of available elementals, but it also awakened the other elemental powers as well(hence how the rest 4 were born) like what anon said here.

This is gonna be looooong ted talk so I have to spilt this in two parts!

What I want to talk about is how interesting their character development throughout the series. Starting with the original trio!

(That 3rd picture lasted for a few minutes... I didn't even notice their communication at first. :'()

Their development was that drastic in the youth era. The unstoppable "the fun, the serious and the tough one"(edit: more like, "The Striker, Tacklerer, and The Goal Keeper in soccer terms. Don't ask why I thought about this a lot) which sparks Boboiboy as the hero of Pulau Rintis. But, it's starting to decrease during Galaxy onwards.

I know I know they need to blend with the others as well. (They got most of the screen time in every series after all). I already talked about it here.

(People say this year indirectly the reunion of this trio I guess? Windara and Gentaraju animated arc? ...

but... aaah well... my head's spinning right now >_<)

Halilintar/Thunderstorm.

What more to say about this person? haha, I've already talked about it from anon in the first link I put on before and this one.

But still, from the very first moment he arrived till today, I am almost certain my hypothesis then and now is coming true. Being just created as "the cool, serious" side of Boboiboy, This 'talk less, do slash more' guy unknowingly becomes the tsundere eldest due to his tragic incident.

He is such a supportive person behind that murder mask. Seeing rare moments that he actually cares for others whenever he can is an absolute miracle. God, the season 2 comic and Sori continuingly showed his soft side from youth era. wtf my 12-year-old me is screaming right now! aaarghh! :3

(But that face in ep 5 when he's strangled lmaooooo X'D)

Taufan/Cyclone

One of my favorite things that I know about him is he enjoys whenever he's out. He truly loves all the thrilling fights, if not get the vibe, he instantly goes into a bad mood. Every poster I saw about him, always with his smile and never faded. That's why I was shocked when I saw his decision in Windara's arc. Finally, the man he always wanted to be, bravely giving it all in one v one fight. I'm so proud of him! T^T

His easygoing attitude reminds me of a certain hedgehog I knew hehe...both resemble the wind itself right? :] (I need to draw them in June)

Leading the Troublemaker trio is always fun to watch. And the fact that he looks at Hali as his role model is really cute! Despite him and Hali being the first two elements who had civil fights before, a bit sad these two are independent on their own from Galaxy onwards :'(

Gempa/Quake

Gempa got me confirmation that he is the leader of the elementals from the very first fight till now. I can see why he has the closest resemblance to Boboiboy himself (hence the hat position :] ).

To be fair, Gempa is the only elemental that I see no difference with Boboiboy. And with being one of the strongest elementals(with embedded two giant stone hands), he sure is a low-profile person and easily blends with other elementals. Now I know why he gets the title "Mama Gempa". He is unknowingly taking too much care of every elementals like a family ^^)' .

Even tho he's the last power to be introduced(in this trio) and sometimes people see him as a lone wolf in the group, he's natural at giving orders. The others actually listen to him and get scolded if they messed up! Like how parents do! X'D

How about the Temper Duo?

(Why monsta didn't put this dialog to Sori? :''(( )

How fitting the theme song of movie 2 titled Fire and water as well? Hehe.

Being the first two powers to be fused(the coolest name, "Frostfire" :} ), these two are what most people like to call "The polar opposites". The ones that used two hoodies in the youth era(except now only Ice wears it), the ones that had back-to-back introductions (exactly after Fire arrived, water showed up in the next episode, Galaxy season 1 also showcased the exact same pattern), the only two powers survived in movie 2, and even their own original masters lived in the same planet.

I'd say if these elementals do be brothers, these two were most likely born twins. (I know I may be late to this headcanon but hey why not? :/)

Blaze

The gremlin boi who got more screentime in sori than his partner. I absolutely adore this boy in Galaxy onwards. His wild and reckless traits are always the main attraction whenever I watch his combat style. I still think since season 3 and movie 1 He should've gotten a brass knuckle type as a weapon than the fire disc. He's a close combat brawler, right?

Anyway, he might be the one who hasn't changed much since his youth until now. In fact, I'd say he is a pretty consistent character from the start. Only gets wilder and cheekier to his fellow elementals tehee~. But that's the beauty of having a friend like Blaze. If done right, Blaze could shock you with his kindness and care deeply for others. Just like how he did with Duri once he accidentally broke Duri's plant in one of Boboiboy's official posts. (Sori ep 3 and comic made my day lmao)

Ais/Ice

If I can relate to one elemental, I choose Ice. He likes to eat yet is frightened to get fat like he did in his youth era; a very sleepy person; also an introverted person but he is confident when surrounded by his closest circle. And most of my friends are usually the Blaze type. So I can understand how to handle that person ^^)'

Ehem. Ice's first tier, Air/Water, got me confused at first. Mainly how he summons his power. Somehow Ice fixed that issue. Making his right arm purely made of ice is genius. My headcanon is every weapon or power he uses comes from his right arm. His cannon comes from his right arm, the same as the bow & arrow one. Even so, many scenes contradict that(Boboiboy is an ambidextrous guy).

Can I say I'm glad from Galaxy onwards he's a bit more open than in his youth era or just me? This doesn't count during the transition mode. All I see now is that he showed more emotions than Hali. (Also whoever decided Ice's tears become snowflakes, I salute you sir)

Last but not least! The Photosynthesis duo!

(I talk about this scene before but holy shit this scene is always mesmerizing to watch)

Duri and Solar were also made me adore them if not because of season 2 & Sori. Okay, I have to confess first to avoid misconception:

I was disappointed when Duri and Solar showed up in movie 1.

My selfish youth still took some time to get used to with Fire and Water in season 3. And all I think was negative reactions when Duri and Solar showed up. That's... also the reason why I went on hiatus.

Luckily, hence the word "was" I put it there.

I'm very grateful that they reset his watch back to start, so then they can at least make a proper debut with both Duri and Solar in Galaxy series. I much prefer that method. (That last episode was truly huge, I'm shocked they went that grand)

Therefore, Sori could continue to make the audience know better about these two! Pretty creative I'd say! I can see why the last three episodes are fan favorites. Me personally love eps 5 & 6.

Duri/Thorn

The most unique symbol to draw to, Duri truly shines in galaxy 2 comic and Sori. His debut in galaxy 1--oh wait, in Eid Fitri's short video after movie 1 made me confused with Taufan at first. Even though he's got more screen time than Solar, Duri still surprised people with the recent series. Who knew his childish and clumsy features could do unverbal damage to enemies by his words? Count me in! He might not do that to his friends and families, but he will delightedly do so with Solar :D

And thanks to Sori, I can now differentiate between Taufan and Duri more clearly. His design in Sori especially the last three is my fav. I love what Monsta did the effects on his arms. Since he doesn't has a signature weapon, they create a 2D flash-winded green leaf around his arm like a coil. That is a very cute detail for Duri.

A bit surprised when every elemental went to serious mode in Windara's arc, only Duri still managed to find fun in the battle. Heck even Taufan dropped his smile during that.

Solar

Being the trump card of the group, I can see why he is the last elemental to be introduced, both in movie 1 and galaxy series. The hardest one to obtain his 2nd tier that requires proper research and pure luck, Solar's traits are also what makes him interesting. To be honest I didn't expect his characteristic to be like this, at all. And somehow very matched with his design and attack as well. Every aspect is strangely in synch I'm astonished. (Adding a visor to his 2nd tier is uhh *chef's kiss B=) )

Also, I love that his attacks use his finger that's also kinda easter egg of the famous "Ray Gun!" shot attack from Yu Yu Hakusho(look it up, there's a live-action ver if you want to know the short ver of the series. The anime itself is legendary to all weebs out there).

Regardless of his limited screentime in every series. I'm very much grateful Monsta treats him equally. His timing in Sori is exceptional and his popularization bursting successfully. My only hope he didn't get cut in Windara and let all elementals showed up. When was the last time Boboiboy did that without splitting to 7?....

... Well if you count heptasplit part, the last time he did that was in Movie 1. That's 9 years ago.

Now we're done here? Nice! Onto the theory part in reblog!

[ DO NOT REPOST, ALL ART & CONCEPTS WERE MADE BY ME ]

Illustration Time: 16hrs 56min

When the hubby has to get involved you know it’s bad. (I am not married nor will I explain . . . at least not rn)

At the time of actually finishing this I have in fact made two more Oc’s aside from Emma and no I will not comment on the three boys in a sea of women.

I mean I did have ONE that was supposed to be a “main”, and he was for a bit but he’s been demoted to the Childhood “80’s” Fanfics. I’m sorry you do not get to see his beautiful face today. 💀

Cookie’s Internal Thoughts: No one is going to know who any of these characters are . . . That’s why you should post it . . . But it’s not going to get any attention . . . That’s because you need to post more . . . But no one knows—ALRIGHT ALRIGHT . . . Just repost it on your Octonauts blog I’m sure your 70+ followers are going to get a laugh out of it.

As you can probably tell it took a great amount of will power to actually get to this point . . . 16hrs . . . Really me? Really???? ( LUNA’S SIDE PROFILE THO—*CHEF’S KISS* I am so proud of myself. )

fandom stories that have been on my mind recently…. 📑

as what the title says, cpn things that have been living in my head rent-free for the past days/ weeks. i just need a place to write them down and let them shine on their own ✨

same disclaimer applies. for cpn-loving turtles only. please don’t ask me to elaborate cause as i said, i have very minimal information on hand.

☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★✼☆

• The one thing that inspired me to make this post, a bit about WYB’s side account. It’s not a secret that he has one, probably even multiples but for some reason this one got leaked. especially back in 2019 when his phone number got leaked and some people allegedly verified that this same number was used to register the account. they noticed it followed a couple of motorcycle related accounts, bobo’s true love at the time lol and well the most juicy thing here is that he was visiting the bjyx supertopic.

Then by the end of 2019, it gained followers. WYB might have noticed that he was somehow discovered so the account cleared all it’s watch list and never moved again. Everything is gone. That freakin moon profile picture does not help at all cause we all know his fondness for it and how it’s one of the fandom’s symbolism. The way it was created on 3/14 is also very sus.

We have all CPN’d that he visited the ST and why not tbh. Even if you don’t believe in BJYX, i think you can say that he has visited it and at the very least knows of it’s existence. I wonder what he saw tho. LOL. I would love to get more information on this account’s watch list and it’s just so funny to have some confirmation about one of his side accounts.

no i’m lying, there is another alleged side account from 2018. A weifen gave the tip ( allegedly lol i’m gonna use this word a lot ). It is also cleared but people did capture that he kept an eye out on XZ and XZS, and also liked a motorcycle video that was not really popular. So maybe someone who knows about the moto world would recognize. I just noticed the times both accounts were created. I don’t think WYB has the time to maintain his side accounts anymore with how busy he is but i imagine this gremlin having all the accounts and just looking at everything out there.

maybe i can make a post about all his alleged side accounts one day. 😂😂😂😂

• I have always loved personal stories from turtles and while I am wary of some, there are ones that particularly make me soft. this one for example:

My uncle is the kind of staff who works with the crew, he is ten years into the circle. I usually ask him about gossip in the circle. This year (2019 ) I carefully asked Bojun Yixiao if it was real. Uncle said he didn't know them that well, but he knew that the relationship between the two is very good. It is said that WYB & XZ are modest and polite. They have no personality problem and have always been real and not fancy.

He also said (emphasis!) he will help me get Xiao Zhan’s autographed photo in October. The time was right to take advantage of the work appointment, and after the end of XZ’s work, he signed one, my uncle said that “my niece likes you two very much”. Xiao Zhan raised his head in a daze, and said, “huh” My Uncle was about to explain, Xiao Zhan laughed a bit and said, "Is it Wang Yibo?" Uncle also laughed.

What gets me in this is how XZ is confused then it immediately clicks for him — is it WYB? ☺️ I mean, granted that 2019 was such a big year for them as a pair and who could someone be referring to when talking about “you two..” This exchange ( true or not ) lives in my head rent free. and the fact that people in the industry have nothing to say but good things about them really says a lot.

• The COVID test schedules that were leaked actually showed it was the same date and time. down to the second 02:23:38. I know this is bad, people shouldn’t actively seek out things like this but my brain won’t let this piece of information go. 💀💀💀

• WYB’s “Changsha” residence when he was still actively working in TTXS was provided by Hunan TV network. It’s not his, it is located very close to the station to make it easier for him. Other staff also stayed in that same area. The candy is, XZ allegedly sends things to that address.

• This video and fake rumor that is going around recently. People are speculating that WYB’s reaction in this routine was because of something that happened and that the dancers are actually teasing him. The rumor is XZ visited the set of SDC and he was just lounging, WYB was there and was about to kiss him but some dancers saw them, and our boys ended up being embarrassed.

you can definitely give a more plausible explanation of why he reacted like this but that’s not the point of this whole post. it’s the cpn that could be connected to it. and i mean if had someone like XZ, the love of my life just lounging, looking all gorgeous — how can you blame WYB for wanting to kiss him 🥺

• I’m not really a kadian enthusiast like all the other BXGs but the recent 232323 timing is making me 👀. Yes we know you Love Zhan.

Time is 14:30, but it can be 2:30 so it keeps up with the 23. I think the reason why i’m drawn to this CPN is it was posted a day after the whole yibo relationship rumor. If you look at YBO’s page, after the post saying the rumor is fake, the next one is this. So it’s like saying, those rumors are false and I only love XZ. 23. 🤍

• the emoji similarities between xzs and ybo used in their douyin posts. not only that, it’s a match for ones during OOL ( Gu Wei ) and BAH ( Chen Wei ). I mean, do they ship them too?

• I don’t really believe in 🍉 unless they are about upcoming product endorsements cause I think those can be leaked by the brands themselves. but during HB’s initial run, there was one with 2m followers who shared that XZ bought multiple screening slots for the movie.

The melon didn’t say he bought it because of WYB, it only mentioned WYB because let’s face it— his name is associated with it and he is actively promoting. What’s so entertaining to me and makes me grin when i think of it are the people’s comments. HAHAHAHAHA! They know what is being implied. You all know deep down there is some truth it but you refuse and say all kinds of things.

- END.

#yizhan #bjyx #there is no science here folks im just clowning like i always do #cpn talk #a whole chunk of my brain power is devoted to xz and wyb

I don’t know anymore man,,

(vv I’m tired and confused vv)

OK SO,, a lil refresher for me who is confused,,

Gabriel/11 is Ryu Sunghoon (adopted)

Ryu Sungjoon thought he was Jung Yoonjae

13/Jung Yoonjae is potentially Jung Inseong

WHO THE FUCK IS CHARLES THEN???? Are you just here for the shits and giggles or ????

(I forgot which kid gave who the necklace and all that stuff)

I don’t give a shit who killed who anymore there’s so much confusion and it’s too much for my brain /lh

,,, I apologize for my behaviour,, this Kdrama is currently making me go insane 🫶

,,, is it bad that I don’t really care,, like I cared more about Kang Minjung (Beyond Evil) I’m ngl,, like even her and Lee Dongsik’s whole goofy back and forth felt written better,,

Don’t get me wrong tho I am enjoying this Kdrama but theres 2 or 3 aspects that just feel a lil clunky or unnecessary but the plot and backstory is 🤌 (no matter how crazy it makes me feel)

Imma deffo have to rewatch this tho to form a solid opinion on certain characters cuz just like when I was watching Beyond Evil I was WAY too confused to fully focus on characters and their personalities,,

He’s been to hell and back,, like ho-ly shit,, the fact that he’s been able to live the life he does after the Hope center is insane,,, like obviously he’s not Mr. Happy and Rainbows but still,,

I just don’t get why he’s supposed to care? They’ve met a total of maybe 3-4 times,, if I’m to be generous then I’m assuming that the show is tryna show me that she is almost allowing him to have a decent look into the freedom of being a child/teen and all that but that’s all I got,, but iunno

WOW,,,, like yeah I wasn’t too attached to her or anything but WOW

But why??? She’s not related to Hope Center and yea sure maybe she was a casualty like maybe she saw something ahead wasn’t supposed to but she doesn’t fit the victim profile,, if she was mistaken as Jo Eunki then yea but who I assume is Jung Yoonjae would know what Jo Eunki looked like and Jo Insook is her mother,,

(Also,, slightly off topic but am I supposed to know who killed Baek Jieun or no? I swear I’m paying attention but my horrible memory and lack of braincells are not on my side,,)

If meeting 3-4 times is close then sure,,

Did I miss something cuz like I’d understand if Yoona was dragging Sunghoon around like every other day and tbh I’d’ve preferred to have been shown that if that were the case but this just feels rushed to me,,

There was potential for them to have had a silly lil “having fun reluctantly as a friendship grows between Mr. “Bad at emotions” & “Wild-child” gal” but it felt far too quick for them to be that connected yknow??

Yeah yeah yeah but I don’t believe that Jung Yoonjae is dead tho,, I haven’t seen a body or anything right?? Only a grave I think?? We saw Jung Yoonjung’s body yeah but I don’t believe that Sunghoon has been using Yoonjae’s name to get back at the Hope Center,, idk anymore man,,

OH SHIT-

I mean I guess this exonerates Sunghoon but then again I think that Mr.Stabby is Jung Yoonjae and Jung Inseong is Jung Yoonjae,, but the shoe with the yellow confuses me cuz that would’ve had to have been Sunghoon no?

Am I supposed to be this confused or am I self-sabotaging myself?????

I don’t even know what I’m talking about anymore so If you do, good job 👍/gen

Aigo~

I’m not even gonna link that stupid tweet, can’t believe i’ve been working extra hours lately defending my babies and setting things straight because of some rats on the internet. But also, please, who tf believes an account that was created at ass o’clock with no profile picture anygays? -_-

So not only people are trying to ruin JK’s image by spreading a rumor about him being involved with a very problematic family but people keep on believing “supporting” thus it gives the upper hand to village idiots to post more stories dug from a raccoon”s booty hole.

Posting ss from a video posted by a supposed sasaeng or sasaeng dealer or whatever “professional business” they’re into..

BOMBASTIC side eye, CRIMINAL OFFENSIVE side eye.

The girl who posted the video on her IG is Algerian.. I mean no offense to Arabs heck i’m too but y’all’s supposed sasaeng tea is bullshit i don’t know maybe save that money you’re wasting on better thing like.. Getting proper education to get your head out of the gutter?

Why am i not even surprised tho i remember reading a few months ago “tea” from another Algerian “sasaeng” that said that Dreamers was supposed to be a subunit and Hybe didn’t want to bla bla bla bla..

At least get the facts correct, i will repeat it for the gazillion time, if you’re trynna lie, at least make it believable, don’t go around making up lies when the truth is out there for everyone to see but i blame the dumb farts on the comments asking if it’s true or “feeling bad” for the situation. Do yourselves a favor and go to school that’s actually really embarrassing.

So the narrative is that JK was with his “girlfriend” she-who-shall-not-be-named at the gym and like.. OMG i don’t even know if i should cringe at the embarrassment or just pray these people can consume some knowledge and intelligence. Y’all!! Tommy’s profile is public ffs that’s literally his little sister 😭😭

But that besides the fact, it is quite disturbing the fact that a vile sasaeng is just hanging out around Tommy’s place for one and being that creepy towards JK for two that’s a double kill actually, just how mentally deranged you have to be to just sit there and record, bruh.. When is the purge really i feel like imma be after so many heads cause..

Anygays, if y’all come across any post like that, please report it, if you feel like it you can also report it to BH/Hybe that can be helpful too. With that being said, LEAVE JUNGKOOK THE FUCK ALONE!!!!!

Okay so now that I have seen Alejandros profile, I have two ideas who could out of my staff vibe with him. For one Angelica was my first pick, she makes Pie everyday and after what happened to her could need someone who comforts her. She is also secretly an angel. While on the other side I have Belia, headmistress of HSA and although she has bad history with RSA that doesn't mean she would just dismiss any staff from that school. I have others But lots I just don't offer cause they are still under 30.

I am going to do both because vibes also its okay! Because I have never grown personal with the average teacher and therefore dont know the age group so some of my prof OCs might be a bit too old 💀

I can see Angelica and Alejandro being friends! He wont ask about her private life if she doesnt ask about his 👀 (and NO he's not one of those people who would just ask somebody else about her personal life)

He would absolutely enjoy all the desserts she makes and would definitely be willing to lend an ear out if she needs some comfort

He'd probably want to help in the kitchen, but if she says no then he'll respect that-

He would also admire her confidence and slightly dramatic behaviour

He might be a bit intimidated be Belia at first tho, considering she has beef with the entirety of RSA and seems to be very independent, strong and loud (we stan independent stronk women here (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡)

However, seeing as she doesnt have it out for anybody that just utters ",,, I study in RSA,,," he'd eventually warm up to her teehee warm up

He wouldnt really test his luck/try to piss her off unlike SOME people smh mainly respect women but also because he really doesnt feel like going through another The Accident™, she tell him to shut up and he would 💀💀💀

IF, and this is one big "if", she mentioned the reason why she has issues with RSA, he'd be very sympathetic about what happened and feels bad she had to go through that however he admires her determination to be a good parent for Bethany and lead a whole school

Hey everyone! I am Belle and as a heads up this is a queued post bc I live on like the opposite timezone of basically anyone in the US so this site is opening before dawn on fri for me and I have work. I'll try and hop on fri night, otherwise I'll get back to everyone on my sat! Anyway, I'm excited for this rp to open, I love surreal and horror. 🔥 My hobbies include writing gremlin bois and oscillating wildly between regular capitalization and lapslock. Also ToF/genshin (hmu if u play tho). This is Noh Harang, resident gremlin, morally ambiguous and in the trade of plots that verge on the wrong side of functional. Here is his about and profile page which has the more relevant of information, but I’ll drop some additional quick facts under the cut along with some attempted plot ideas! If you want to plot just like or dm + I have a discord on request if it’s easier to plot there (i usually prefer it A Lot, so if you want me to add you just drop your user in my ims and when i get online later i can add 6v6 ).

if you want the full gist of why he is the way he is i’d rec reading his bio + checking his profile page, bc this is like: scenario, i'm trying my best, but my best is never good enough 😔 if not, ig you'll have to go by this image:

was born in ulsan, his dad died when he was pretty young and was largely raised by his mom w help from other family members. he is ✨inspired ✨ by sharp objects (bc i Love it), only less murder-y, but his mom has FDIS (munchausen by proxy) and it influenced his emotional development a lot.

moved to the island as a teen when his mom remarried, which meant there were new and exciting doctors to visit who weren’t suspicious of her yet. cowabunga, dude. spent a lot of time in his room drawing when he was ~sick~

he’s decently smart, and he did go onto uni for art, but then he got pissed at someone else and sabotaged their assignment by breaking into somewhere he shouldn’t have been and prob broke like 4 school rules in the process and was kicked out his second year. so he never finished. good life choices? check. clearly.

he is vindictive and revenge-driven and will act immediately on those feelings without considering the consequences on getting caught. harang in the moment is always like: i will definitely not get caught. and the narrator is like: that bitch did, in fact, get caught.

is he a good person? no. does he try to better himself every day? also no. memes aside, he does have good qualities but he’s def not sugar and spice and everything nice. if you enjoy complicated, emotionally wrought, and sometimes dark plots 👀 👀 👀 pls come to me, that is what i’m weak and design my chars for.

he’s a webtoon creator/artist. he’s into horror, esp supernatural/paranormal horror. his webtoon is similar in storyline/vibe to something like stagtown? but his art style is different. he takes inspo from junji ito of course. likes consuming horror media/projects as well.

obsessed with herbal tea, has So Many flavors in his apt.

really into vinyl, though he usually collects based on cover artwork first and music second. likes playing atmospheric music when he’s making art.

he smokes, his favorite is cherry tobacco. they’re bad for his body but he’s pretty sure his body was basically destroyed in his youth so what does it matter anymore anyway?

he has a weird vibe but he’s good at covering it. will default to auto-mirroring people’s gestures and personalities around him without super realizing he’s doing it. if you spend enough time around him though it fades, it’s mostly done for people he doesn’t interact w regularly.

he has long hair, and yes, that is a personality trait

he’s not always the nicest person but he’s also not mean for the sake of being mean. it can take him a while to emotionally connect to people. he doesn’t frequently get into romantic relationship because of it, def finds casual to be easier. his sense of love and how it should be expressed is ✨very off ✨

can turn himself into a victim in 4 minutes flat (i_got_it_from_my_mama.mp3)

he hates doctors, not in a take it personally sense, more just going to the doctors and being treated sense. will avoid going to the hospital At All Costs.

can be manipulative, and isn’t always the most empathetic person (in this house we support morally grey chars 👏 )

plot ideas -- tbh i often prefer to like talk apps and come up with something organically, but here are a few ~general ideas~ that might be nice to have, and a few that could be starting off points if we’re really stuck.

an ex that was messily resolved and there's some baggage there is always fun. would love if it imploded due to reasons on both their ends rather than like one person being the Saint and the other being a Villain. I want mutually assured destruction and angst tyvm.

conversationalists. they live in the same area and keep running into each other, harang takes frequent smoke breaks outside for instance. but the strange part of it is there’s no real set schedule, and they just keep running into each other even though they're leaving at drastically different times every day. could be fun if they know some deeper pieces of each other’s life without knowing the like basics of each others personalities (like an inverse of basic friends, unbasic not-friends, if you will)

a bff? like we really click together and even though you make bad life choices and are lvl 500 dumb sometimes i’ll still help you with whatever mess you invite upon yourself. can go both ways, of course.

me, sweating and running out of plot ideas i’m brainstorming on the spot, someone who’s into harang’s webtoon. ofc it would need to be ✨developed ✨ so it could be interesting, but yes. OR his anti!!! OR a mix and they're obsessively into it to the point of being creepy. a creepy stan stalking a creepy artist, creep² if you will

i Am a fan of antagonistic plots, i think they’re really fun, esp when both chars are kind of catty about it and it’s not just one being the ~evil~ one, tho i don’t have any ideas on how to get there but if someone really wants one and to figure out a reason why i’m down!!!!

okay i think that’s it i’m out of ideas, but i’m v excited to plot and write so pls don’t hesitate to let me know if you like something or have another idea or wanna create something organically 👀

Beauty and the Beast AU 16

orange-plane-boy — 09/02/2021 10:33 PM

"But we will still work on how to break the curse!" He nodded "If we found what kind of spell mom used here maybe we will be a step closer"

purplecraze — 09/02/2021 10:35 PM

Fugo lay on the cloth, staring at the glass ceiling. "it's probably some kind of 'ward evil'. She left long before I got cursed, so it's not like she had my situation in mind specifically..."

orange-plane-boy — 09/02/2021 10:39 PM

"I know but is still something right?" He moved a bit rolling on his side, keeping his head up with his hand, so he could look at the other

"...You look pretty even on profile~"

purplecraze — 09/02/2021 10:40 PM

He closed his eyes and sighed. "Well, I need SOME quality to make up for the absolute mess I am..."

orange-plane-boy — 09/02/2021 10:41 PM

"You are messy but like in a hot kind of way" He smirked

purplecraze — 09/02/2021 10:41 PM

"You're insane."

orange-plane-boy — 09/02/2021 10:43 PM

"Im trying to compliment you!" He laughed and formed a ball with the bread, trowing it at him

purplecraze — 09/02/2021 10:44 PM

"hey! What the--" He sat up and threw it back, not so gently.

orange-plane-boy — 09/02/2021 10:45 PM

Nara laughed again, trying to catch it with his mouth but failed

"Also you arent that bad! Really, just start to eat a bit more fruit here and probabily you would look a bit more lively"

purplecraze — 09/02/2021 10:49 PM

"There's no telling if it'll stay like this in here, though." he quickly popped some more strawberries in his mouth. "I wouldn't want to ruin your mother's garden. you like it here, right?"

orange-plane-boy — 09/02/2021 10:51 PM

"Well yeah...But she left it here for you right? If not why leaving it here? She could be an hothead if she wanted, if she had no reason to keep it flourishing she probabily would fill it with weeds just for spite and to annoy the new gardner and your parents"

purplecraze — 09/02/2021 10:52 PM

"nnn..... I'm not sure. I was very fond of her, but I don't really know how she thought of me. My parents were pretty unreasonable and demanding, so it couldn't have been an easy job."

orange-plane-boy — 09/02/2021 11:03 PM

"I think she cared about you" He smiled

"I will be honest, she mentioned you just few times, But i guess because i was really clingy as a kid and kinda jealous" he laughed "i think i would be trow some tantums if i discover she was away all day only to play with another kid"

purplecraze — 09/03/2021 9:35 AM

"hmpf. you'd still do so now.

her main job was gardening and it was pretty demanding from what I saw. But she was always smiling and never too busy to hear me out."

orange-plane-boy — 09/03/2021 11:40 AM

"See? She cared about you~ And yep she was really good with plants! Probabily even better than my father" he shrugged "mom used to say that he was good too and he just got lazy, but i dint really belied her"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:04 PM

Fugo lay down on the cloth again, staring at the ceiling. "where is he now?"

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:05 PM

"My old house i guess" he shrugged "with his mistress and kid...probabily its his wife now tho"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:06 PM

"You never thought of trying to go back?"

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:07 PM

"Im not that stupid" he pouted

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:07 PM

"hm......."

he breathed deep for a moment.

"...you're always free to stay here... I'd never kick you out.."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:09 PM

He smiled softly "uh...Well thanks"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:10 PM

he nodded. "If you're prepared for the risk of dying, of course...."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:11 PM

"Ehy, im kinda used to being on the brink of death" He shrugged

"At least here i have 3 meals at day"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:12 PM

he laughed a bit. "That's fair~ ....just..be careful. I don't want to lose this.."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:14 PM

"I will" He smiled "Someone has to take care of your grumpy ass!"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:17 PM

"......."

the 3 years alone had been difficult, but he had always just listlessly spend each day, apathetically.

now..... that prospect was terrifying. Without Narancia, he-....... what would be the reason to continue living? If this boy would die by his hands... surely, he couldn't take it anymore.

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:22 PM

Oh Fugo, sucidial in every universe uh?

"Mhh...How does the magic here work? Because the flowers from before died, so, what mom did? Some magic to the walls of the dome? Or is the soil there to be magical? If yes what if in spring we try to plant something outside?"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:24 PM

"Your idea is as good as mine... though longterm spells are very complicated.

Did she ever do something with you? something like a ritual?"

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:27 PM

"Uhh? What you mean?" He asked curious

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:28 PM

"err, well......" He didn't want to distress the other. or give him crazy idea's to try and touch him afterall.

"She cared about you a lot, so.... maybe she used something similar to keep you safe..."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:32 PM

He laughed "would make sense that i survied this long even if im a dumbass...But then would make little sense, she died by an infection...Maybe she was nore good with plants than with people"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:33 PM

"Not necessarily. though there are spells that don't work on humans or animals, there are also spells that don't work on oneself.

Or perhaps she preferred to use it on you over herself."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:36 PM

"Mh..." He sighed and looked up at the sky again

"Probabily she could had handled thing better if she hadnt to drag me around"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 3:39 PM

"........" he glanced over to him.

"perhaps..... some things are needed to stay alive, and it's more difficult with 2. but...

being together must have given her a reason to live for."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 3:45 PM

"Mh...Maybe" he looked off

"But at the end of the day i coulnt do anything to keep her alive, if i was dunno, more smart, or more fast, maybe i could be able to get enough food and money to buy the medicine she needed"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 4:29 PM

"it's not the fast who always win the race, nor the strong who win the war. the wise don't always have the food and the smart don't always have the wealth. time and circumstances effects all...

You were a child, it wasn't your responsibility. and even if things have gone differently, it may have still had the same outcome, or one that's worse."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 4:35 PM

"Oh dont use big words now!" He pouted

"I saw her perish in front of me, it was horrible! Those were the worst day of my life, i knew she would die by any moment and ugh, it made me realized that soon i would be all alone, having to fend to myself"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 4:41 PM

"........."

He looked at the other, troubled.

Yeah, big words were all he had, really. at a time like this, he couldn't think of anything else to give some console to his-- well, whatever they were to each other....

he couldn't pat his back or stroke his hair or hold him close to comfort him. Just what was he supposed to do for him?

"I....I'm sorry you had to go through that... I'm sure she loved you very much until the very last second... don't be too harsh on yourself.."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 4:44 PM

He sighed

"....nh, sorry" he rolled on his side and looked at him in silence for a while

"...You know, i guess thats why we get along, we both been alone for a lot uh?"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 4:47 PM

"mm...." Fugo rolled on his side too.

"you had to struggle to survive, though. It must have been difficult...."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 4:48 PM

"Pff yeah, not easy at all" He laughed

"But as i said before, i got lucky, could go way worste"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 4:51 PM

"hmn, yeah. like getting locked up in prison with a murderous maniac... ah wait~"

ah, so lame.

"I'm really glad you survived, though.... I'm really glad I got to meet you."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 4:54 PM

"The food here is way better than a prison tho!" He laughed taking another pice of fruit, and then smiled at him

"Me too! Im glad to have a friend and also thanks to you i know more stuff about mom"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 4:56 PM

"....." he nodded, but cast his eyes down. "you're......jealous about it, right? I'm sorry...."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 4:58 PM

"Uh? No..? I mean, im kinda sad she keept it a secret from me, but like, you were like 5 when she worked here, if i was jealous of a 5 yold kid i would be a really sad person"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 5:00 PM

he grumbled a bit, feeling awkward. "She was like a mother to me too...."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 5:04 PM

"And? Fugo really, maybe i would be jealous as a child, but im almost an adult now" He laughed

"Its actually nice that you had her at least, from the little you told me your family was kinda shitty"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 5:06 PM

"they weren't all too bad.... though right now, they must be trying hard to forget I exist."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 5:07 PM

"Nh..Im sorry" He sighed again

"I imagined a lot of people lived here, this place is huge"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 5:09 PM

"too huge for just 2 people, yeah. it's a pain to keep the place tidy all the time."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 5:11 PM

"Ehy at least you do it with magic" he smirked

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 5:12 PM

"doing magic takes energy too, you know? and I can't do any of it at night while I'm raging around."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 5:13 PM

"Still better than doing in the normal way i bet" he laughed

"Also i told you to rest in the morning, we can fix the mess together when you wake up"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 5:14 PM

"............" he glanced off, muttering something, his cheeks slightly tinted.

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 5:15 PM

"Mh? You said something?"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 5:16 PM

"...." he hid his face in a nest of arms. "it's embarrassing..."

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 5:16 PM

"What? Helping eachother? Well i cant live here and doing nothing!"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 5:19 PM

"you absolutely can💢 it's lame to have someone else turn up for the junk my retarded version creates! I can't stop myself when I'm like this, but every morning it's confronting! I don't want you to see it!"

orange-plane-boy — 09/04/2021 5:24 PM

"Cmon! I saw way worste than some broken chairs!" He smiled

"You need to rest in the morning ok?"

purplecraze — 09/04/2021 5:25 PM

he glared at him over his arm-nest, but didn't reply.

wait what is a grimwalker? what's the theory

ahh ok, i'll try to be as brief and thorough as i can be lol but basically:

(toh spoilers ahead ofc)

In the last episode we saw THIS book...

...open on a page about a "grimwalker" specifically, in which there is a list of ingredients (for stuff like heart, keratin, lungs, bones???), there are different life stages illustrated (from fetus to adult i'm guessing), and there are picture of red/pink eyes and a side profile, both of which look just like hunter's

soooo since details like this are very rarely shown for no reason in animation, this must mean it is somehow relevant

so now there's this theory that this is all related to hunter, either that he IS a grimwalker (so like?? artificially/magically built by belos, or a clone, or sth like that?? honestly no idea what it means exactly lmao) or that he is needed to MAKE a grimwalker (and that belos just saw some characteristics needed for that in hunter, like the eyes, and that’s why he took him in), and that it's all somehow tied to the day of unity (since belos keeps saying that "the titan has big plans" for him and it'd be "such a hassle" to replace him) (so specifically hunter is possibly needed for... some kinda ritual? a sacrifice?? a vessel? either way probably nothing good UM run hunter)

there are some holes in either theory honestly, like:

in hunting palismen, hunter says that he is a powerless witch (as many of his ancestors were) so he never thought he'd "have a future in a world like this", that is until belos "found him", gave him the staff with artificial magic, and said that the titan had big plans for him (once again. not suspicious at all, dude).

so if belos indeed had created hunter, then how could he have "found" him?? would a guy create an actual person/clone (specifically one whom he's gonna need in the future for some important stuff), JUST to drop them when they're little and take them in later on, once they've matured enough? possible ig, but not very likely lmao cuz. why? for what? like, unless hunter is misremembering (which is not very likely since it seems like it was later on in his life), then that's rly what happened. so????? hm

and like if he's needed as a vessel, as some ppl think, wouldn't belos care for him more, if he wanted to kinda "take over his body"? (nah, i RLY hope this one is wrong, like that is SICK, you're a sick man, belos, PLS let this one be wrong) make sure hunter sleeps well, doesn't risk his life/injuries, etc? (and we don't know for sure, but it is kinda implied that hunter's scars may have been belos' fault too, so. oof if that's the case) like, yeah, belos does command hunter to stay safe in the castle in the last episode but whether it is cuz he wants him to not be hurt at all or just cuz he'd almost died and belos cannot let that happen... no idea (surely not cuz he actually cares abt him tho, that's unfortunately certain)

BUT YEAH UH. GUESS WE’LL SEE? this is all basically added up from scraps so once we know more, the fandom will probably draw more detailed/correct conclusions.

honestly though, this could lead to a very interesting story arc if any version of the theory was true (AS LONG AS everything ended happily ofc)

although I am pretty sure that belos rly does have something (bad) planned for hunter for the day of unity (grimwalker-related or not), so i just rly rly hope that he manages to realize/find out whatever belos is planning and GET the Fuck OUTTA THERE before it’s too late, or else i will go absolutely feral.

And if the theory ISN'T true? then i'm very very happy for him cuz we all know boy doesn't need even MORE problems and trauma in his life

either way i'm throwing hands with belos 🤛 🤛 get ready, dude, you're going Down

#WELL this ended up being longer than i'd intended lmao but nxjsk hopefully it explains things!#toh spoilers #the owl house #hunter #grimwalker theory #nicole answers #long post #Anonymous #there's also hmm the fact that he doesn't have magic. cuz i used to think he was part human but maybe it's somehow related to THIS instead #and how does belos play into it? is he just wildin is he human/part human is he also a grimwalker/clone? no damn idea it may be ALL wrong lo #but something is UP #my toh talk #hunter toh

can I request a lil something? during the end of the manga or after the timeskip if you haven't read it yet, reiner still has feelings for historia and reader has one-sided feelings for him.

pieck gives reiner a small hint, saying he's wasting time while there's someone close to him that cares for him and points to you. he doesn't understand at first and maybe is conflicted about his feelings for you because of historia. reader is cool about it as she doesn't expect him to reciprocate her feelings.

a rollercoaster of emotions later, maybe there is a happy ending tho? i am curious to see what you can come up with 😭😭 i have dreaming of this scenario before bed and i can't help but get jealous of his crush on historia abjdsndks maybe you can help reiner reciprocate reader-chan's feelings or not

thank u so much aly 💖🥺

reciprocation

pairing: reiner braun x reader

a/n: OMG yesss! honestly, i was kinda annoyed at how reiner still had a crush on historia. i know that isayama wanted to show how everything went back to normal, but i was hoping that reiner would have a bigger role in the allied nations instead of being "dumbed down" to having an obsession with her. MAYBE THATS JUST THE JEALOUSY SPEAKING LMAO 😭 i was hoping this would be longer, although school has been killing me so im really sorry!! i hope its okay 💗💕 thank you honey!

↳ to be added to my taglist, please fill out this ♡form♡

as reiner is handed historia’s letter, you fold your hands on the table and watch him without a word. when he reads the lines and smells the parchment - jean saying something snarky afterward - you say nothing.

you want reiner to be happy: you want to see him at ease like this more, face soft as the leaf of the page flits from his pinched fingers.

and so you let the man speak about historia like she’s a damn goddess, gushing over her handwriting, and keep your goddamn mouth shut. ignore your jealousy. your feelings.

the truth is, you’re in love with reiner.

you can’t even remember how it happened, but you can remember the first time you looked into those hazel eyes, and how you knew that they were going to stick with you for eternity.

you’ve come to accept his crush on the queen, though. reciprocation was never an option in your mind.

when jean begins to chew reiner out for lusting after a married woman, and reiner says something about jean being a horse, pieck’s gaze lands on you. “you’re rather quiet,” she says softly, resting her head on her palm.

you shrug, turning away from her. “i’m just tired.”

pieck catches your chin between her lithe fingers, and turns you to face her with a tiny smile. the young woman is very perceptive, and you’ve known her long enough.

that’s when you notice the twinkle in her eye. she’s planning something.

pieck releases your jaw then, sitting up in her chair. “you’re wasting your time, reiner,” she says suddenly. “there’s already someone you know who cares for you.”

you pretend to not hear pieck - and definitely pretend you don’t see her faintly point at you through your peripheral. the movement of her fingers is barely there, but you catch it.

damn you, pieck.

the way you’re now pinned underneath armin, jean, connie, and reiner’s stares makes your stomach tie itself into knots with bubbling reluctance. shit, this is awkward. you want to run away.

still, you peer over to study reiner’s reaction. he looks confused at first, the contours of his face unreadable. you swear you see connie facepalm at the man’s cluelessness.

then reiner’s expression slowly changes: his eyes widen in awe, lips parting slightly, and brows knitting together. he seems genuinely surprised - and conflicted.

conflicted? why?

there’s no time to explain yourself though, because the door creaks open and annie steps in. her words fall on your deaf ears, and when everyone stands up to leave, you’re the first one out of the room. work beckons you as always.

two days pass.

you’ve been busy filling out tons of paperwork pertaining to the allied nations, so when you’re finally given a day off, you take it with open arms.

freedom at last.

you lean against a bench outside of headquarters, enjoying the salty breeze that flutters along your skin. it’s dusk, the sky covered in a gradient of neon colors as the sun dips below the horizon.

you haven’t seen reiner since that day in the conference room. you wonder how he’s doing, what he’s thinking, how he’s holding up -

“hey.”

speak of the devil. you glance over your shoulder toward the voice, low and familiar.

reiner approaches you, clad in his uniform: the suit hugs his large frame perfectly, showing every flex of his muscles, and his blonde hair is neatly parted. the black tie looped around his neck just pulls it all together. it has you weak at the knees every. single. time.

“hey,” you answer, giving reiner a smile as he stops beside you.

and that’s when your heart lurches at the sight of him.

the sunset highlights reiner’s profile in gold, a heavenly shine that settles upon his blonde lashes and the flawless slope of his nose. the flecks in his irises sparkle – a beautiful mixture of soft browns and muted greens. the only thing you can do right now is admire the man.

his words are what breaks you out of your daydream.

“work has been crazy lately, huh?” reiner says, focused on the candy-floss clouds and their fluffy shapes.

“well - yeah, pretty much. i don’t want to look at a pen or a piece of paper ever again.”

“that bad?”

“you have no idea. i almost regret marley and paradis reconciling.”

reiner chuckles gently at the joke, but it’s strained. his forehead remains creased, and he’s not really smiling. the emotion there is more … doubtful. it’s like he’s having some sort of inner conflict.

hopefully reiner’s not acting cautious because of the other day. you know he doesn’t return your feelings, and that’s totally okay. you’re happy enough being with him like this. “i’m not mad or anything, y’know.”

reiner stiffens at that. there’s a white flash of teeth when he chews on his lower lip. “i know.”

“good,” you hum, breathing out a sigh of relief. your core twists with envy when you force a grin. bite it back. tease him like always. “so about historia … ”

reiner’s eyes go wide almost comically, and you hear the breath in his lungs leave his firm chest in one exhale. there’s a light blush staining his cheeks now. it’s funny; he’s so goddamn big, yet he’s such a teddy bear.

“y-yeah,” reiner mutters. you observe the way his brows pinch together as he awkwardly shifts in place. it takes a while before the man composes himself again, which is strange.

is he scared or something? what the hell?

“pieck,” reiner hesitates for a moment. the golden strands of his hair ruffle in the wind and he appears ... well, lost. “was she being serious?”

the question is a shocker - jeez, he could have at least let you prepare yourself. a firm ‘no’ almost slips out, but you’ve never been much of a liar. not to reiner, anyway. crossing your arms against your chest, you inhale sharply and nod. avoid staring at him face-to-face. “yep.”

“ … why me?”

reiner says the words with a mixture of spite and anguish, a casual and rumbling voice. you immediately turn your head, frowning. “what?”

“i’ve done so many horrible things.” reiner exhales heavily and stares down at his hands; perhaps he’s imagining all the blood they’ve been stained with. “i betrayed everyone. i killed innocent people - all because i was selfish.”

it’s no surprise that reiner is broken after everything he’s been through, but it pains you to know that he continues to suffer in silence. whatever war is raging inside his ribcage tears him apart piece by piece, and you wish you could carry the burden.

there’s probably nothing you can say to convince reiner that he was just a kid, a victim of circumstance. there’s nothing that can persuade him to see himself the way you do.

so you decide to tell reiner why you love him.

you explain the amount of admiration you hold for him. tell him that you love the way he just wants to be someone his comrades can lean on, like a big brother. tell him that you think he’s the most gorgeous person you’ve ever seen and how you think he deserves the world.

the way you spill your guts out snaps every nerve in your body. you don’t say everything you want to – but you tell him enough. a dark flush spreading across your face, you find the courage to look at him.

the world seems to stop on its axis when you find reiner staring right on back. the intensity of his eyes is stunning; they’re lit up with astonishment and affection.

god, the affection. you see it clear as day. maybe one of the greatest regrets in his life is how he forced himself to see you only as a friend.

that’s when he reaches out to you.

reiner retracts his hand twice, unsure, before slowly brushing his fingertips against yours. the touch is so feather-light that you almost can’t feel it. it’s a test - he’s waiting to see if you pull away. you can’t even move if you wanted to, because his fond gaze keeps you rooted to the spot before him.

when you don’t recoil, reiner finally moves to gently hold your hand; his palm is so much bigger than yours, and your fingers slot together perfectly, like a jigsaw puzzle’s final piece.

heart thrumming like a hummingbird has been stuffed into your chest, you’re almost at a loss for words and come to a realization.

this utterly amazing man likes you. always has.

but reiner shoved away the feelings for one simple reason; you deserved ‘better.’ focusing on the old crush he had on historia was a distraction - an attempt to convince himself to stop thinking about you.

because looking at you everyday and not being able to act upon his feelings was too painful.

“is this okay?” reiner asks lowly. there’s a slight pinkness to his cheeks, the color of a selfless love.

by some miracle, you manage to nod dumbly. “yeah, of course. it’s fine.” it’s amazing is what you actually want to say.

reiner squeezes your hand at the reassurance, a sigh escaping from his throat. “i really—”

you wait for him to finish, but he doesn’t. reiner just searches your profile for signs of discomfort, and then untwines your hands to bravely swipe a thumb along the length of your cheekbone.

there’s no time to speak because he’s already leaning down.

the sensation of reiner’s lips pressing against yours lights your skin ablaze; you can feel the curling flames of passion sear your soul, made even more intense by the warmth of the sunlight on your back.

it’s natural, it’s tender, it’s warm.

reiner’s breath rattles into your mouth when you rest both palms against his solid chest and deepen the kiss. the musky smell of his aftershave and cologne envelops you completely, and fuck, it’s so good. your arms wrap around him, fingers passing over the sharp slopes of his shoulder blades.

as much as you wish the kiss could go on endlessly, there are people gathering outside. avoiding any unwanted attention from nosy strangers is very much appreciated.

you pull away to nuzzle your nose into reiner, and he rests his chin on your shoulder, protective arms moving to loop around your waist. it’s such an intimate caress that it sparks your brain into overdrive.

as the rushing sound of the breeze comes back to your ears through the quiet, you tuck the kiss away to be remembered forever. that’s all there is to it. being close to reiner like this - swaying together like wildflowers in the wind - is more important than anything else.

“i like you,” reiner murmurs.

the suddenness of it makes you laugh, and you can feel the upward quirk of reiner’s lips - a whisper of a peaceful smile and a sweet, sweet promise.

#timeskip reiner still sexy asf #I just wanna hug and kiss him ugh #reiner braun x reader #reiner x reader #aot x reader #attack on titan fanfiction #snk x reader #reiner braun #reiner x you #attack on titan #shingeki no kyojin

karasuno first years out late w/ their s/o

request: Could you write how 1st years (yachi too pls🥺) going out with their s/o late at night ?

a/n: this is such a cute little concept i --

[KARASUNO FIRST YEARS OUT LATE AT NIGHT WITH THEIR S/O]

-tsukishima, kageyama, yamaguchi, hinata, yachi

tsukishima kei.

not gonna lie, he’s often awake late at night. he’s a night owl and doesn’t mind sacrificing his sleep to watch some youtube videos

occasionally, he even goes out late at night, slipping past his parents and brother’s room and softly closing the front door with his headphones covering his ears and his hands stuffed in his pockets

so when you text him at 3am and ask if he can go out with you to the convenience store, he agrees in seconds to meet you at the halfway point between your houses

wastes no time in putting on his sneakers and a hoodie; he wants to get there quickly so that you aren’t left out by yourself

tsukishima knows there’s creeps out there, which is exactly why he jogs to the halfway point and is relieved when he’s the first one there

as soon as he sees you in the distance he fast walks to catch up to you, and slips his hand into yours

he totally brings bluetooth earbuds so that you two can listen to the same music instead of his wired headphones <3 uwu

is always on the lookout for any weirdos, and if he spots someone eyeing you up he shoots them the nastiest glare

eventually wraps his arms around your shoulder while your hand is sitll in his and its that cute little thing where your arms is across your chest holding his hand </3

pays for whatever you get at the store, ignores your complaints and tells you to shut up when you continue to insist on paying

“im trying to be a good boyfriend for once, for the love of god PLEASE shut up”

secretly takes a candid photo of you at some point in the night and sets it as his home screen -- NOT his lock screen, and when you see it he outright denies having taken it

tsukishima: you told me to take a picture of you

you: stop lying i know you’re a closet hopeless romantic

convinces you to stop at the park and eat the snacks you both got there, music still humming in your ears as the moonlight washes you both in cool tones

tsukishima when he’s alone with you is so soft -- he literally kisses your hand and temple and mutters very softly “love you”

all in all, tsukishima kei is the perfect night-owl boyfriend to go on snack-runs with

kageyama tobio.

"why would i go out right now. do you know what time it is. i have practice in the morning”

kags really out here kinda hurtin’ your feelin’s ngl boy doesn’t understand the vibes LOL

honestly you probably woke him up, he’s asleep at like ten every night (even tho he still has homework to do he just flat-out ignores it LOL)

only agrees to go out walking with you because you said he could bring his volleyball and you’d toss a few for him....and also because he’s a little worried because it’s so dark out

doesn’t walk with you to the park but meets you there LOL

he deadass has his wholeass duffel bad with the ball, two waterbottles, two towelettes, volleyball sneakers and everything

“you know,,,,we’re not playing a game, right, tobio?”

“yeah???? and??? what’s your point”

acts nonchalant but is totally having fun and is lowkey glad you asked him to go out so late because it’s cool out, there’s no one to bother him, and you just look...really good under the stars

he’s not a cheesy person but...god you just take his breath away sometimes. not that he’ll ever say that though

you ask to take a break like thirty minutes in because you are LITERALLY dying meanwhile he hasn’t even broken a sweat (”you’re already tired? maybe you should workout more” “shut UP kageyama”)

you both sit on the bench, and you’re lowkey waiting for him to reach for your hand but they’re just folded in his lap as he stares out in the nothingness of night

kageyama can’t take a hint. we know this. he’s incapable of knowing what you want unless you flat out tell him; so you have to be a very honest person

he doesn’t even really initiate skinship, not because he doesn’t want to, but just because it never really crosses his mind

plus he doesn’t feel the need to constantly show affection because he thinks it’s obvious that he likes you

despite this, he is good at spotting weird people, and he’s pretty protective of you, so you’re completely safe with him. trust him, he’ll keep you safe

all in all, have patience and stamina because kags will play volleyball with you until you pass out. also, he loves you

yamaguchi tadashi.

is in bed by 11pm but doesn’t actually go to sleep until two am because he’s scrolling through tiktok on his phone

sees your text about wanting to go out for a late night walk and maybe go through the little forest near your house and automatically sends a text that says “ill meet you at your window! can you pack some snacks? :)”

he walks all the way to your house, even if it’s more convenient to meet halfway because he wants to protect you! he’s not the strongest nor is he the most intimidating, so all he really has to offer is his presence

despite not being strong nor scary, yams literally has eagle eye. you can’t tell me that he can’t read people in a heartbeat -- he’s extremely perceptive

also texts you to not bring a jacket because he’s bringing on of his own for you !!! so sweet what the hell

he waits at your front door and when you step out he automatically pushes his volleyball jacket into your hands and he takes the bag of snacks from you and sticks out one of his hands UGH such a gentleman

lets you ramble about anything and stares at your side profile as he listens

joins in with a few quips here and there but ultimately is pretty quite and lets you speak or lets the silence cozy into the conversation

sees that there’s a guy sitting on a bench up the road and he switches places with you so that you’re further away from the stranger

also wraps a protective hand around your waist until you both are past the random dude but yams will glance behind yall every once in a while

when you two reach the mini forest he ends up taking the lead claiming that he knows a good spot

and damn, he’s right

it’s a little clearing that is illuminated solely by the moonlight and he sets the bag of snacks down beside him before sitting down himself, apologizing for not bringing a blanket that you two could sit on

pats the spot next to him so that you sit right beside him and he leans back with his hand on yours ONGMIRG

is the super cheesy type and tells you that you look really pretty and that,,,he kind of wants to kiss you

you: *experiencing heart palpitations* and you did this for what.

yamaguchi: ...because i love you?

you: *K.O*

all in all, yamaguchi is the boyfriend that completely indulges your late-night escapades <3

hinata shoyo.

is either completely fast asleep and doesn’t see your text or was awake and not planning to sleep for the next five hours, no in-between

but if he’s awake and sees your text, he agrees right away and asks where you want to meet up and what time because homeboy probably has to bike to get there AgAGAGAGA

literally doesn’t even show up in sneakers. he’s wearing sandals and shorts with a short sleeve top

“i came in my pjs”

“i see that.”

asks if you two can bike around instead because he doesn’t want to have to wheel his bike around for like an hour

he tells you to hold on tight because the bike was built for one person, and when you press against his back his warmth is literally so,,,comforting

has no sense of awareness and will scream going down a hill in the middle of a neighborhood, no fucks given

so, no, he doesn’t notice any weriod people even if there are some around

you always end up running into some weird people and you get new interesting stories every other day because let’s be honest hinata is a magnet for crazy shit and crazy people (usually crackheads)

you both just ride around as he talks about his day, usually his sister always comes up in the conversation( “she asked me to marry you the other day” “doirhgAEROIHFGRE SHOYO WHAT” “what? i told her i would. i keep my promises!”)

after like thirty minutes he begs for a break and you stop at a little 24/7 ice cream store that is run by the sweetest elderly couple

you share a sundae because you don’t want to eat too much this late at night

he plops on the bench right outside the store with his bike leaning against the metal handles, and h snuggles up to you and watches you scroll on your phone

he talks a little here and there, but for the most part, he goes quiet, and it’s during this time where you’re unaware of his gaze that he just takes his time drinking in your features in the yellow light of the lamppost

he can’t read the mood most times, but this time he does, and he stays quiet, and he thinks to himself

that he really will marry you one day

all in all, hinata gives you the impulsive young teenage experience of late night bike rides while eating his fair share of ice cream

yachi hitoka.

another either or, except this time she’s either fast asleep or stressing over homework and the nine tests she has the next day

when you ask if she can go on a walk with you she’s hesitant because she doesn’t want to get in trouble with her mom and she’s a total goody goody and terrified of doing anything reckless; but then she remembers that her mom was on a business trip and so she, very cautiously, says yes

you: good. i’m outside your door btw

yachi: i never had a choice did i

you have to meet her at her house because she’s way too scared to walk by herself at night; she might even make you factime her as you commute because she’s worried for you

jumps at every little thing, even the crows cawing make her shit herself

instictively grabs onto your sleeve and nervously look around the entire time, to the point where she doesn’t hear what you say

so you offer to go to a little cafe that’s still open and right away she nods

she’s so adorable, she bows really deeply when you two walk into the store and apologizes for it being so late

and finally, because you two are safe, she’s calm and smiling as she sips at her strawberry smoothie

awkwardly and very shyly reaches out for your hand on the table and gently lays her palm on yours

canon: yachi totally has freckles and you can’t convince me otherwise

her face is red and her freckles are just on display you can’t help but coo at her and tuck some hair behind her ear because god could she get any cuter?

you two end up staying for like a hour and a half and very shyly she asks if you could walk her home

and this time on the walk she’s not overly cautious and seems to enjoy the nighttime breeze and your hand softly clasping hers

does that cute thing where she lays her head on your shoulder or arm while you both are walking and looks up at you through her eyelashes and asks if you could give her a kiss on the cheek </3

you: stop. please. im going to die.

when you’re at her door she literally just stands there awkwardly for a few seconds before tilting her head upwards and pressing her lips to yours and then promptly running inside

video calls you three seconds afterwards to make sure you get home safely

all in all, you might need to be the impulsive one, but yachi enjoys spending late night time with you more than she admits. also please kiss her thanks

gremble watches a witcher: season 2

WELP, here's my incoherent liveblogging of season 2. 👌 Comprehensive spoilers etc follow. And the verdict is.... . .

sigh.

My hand to god, I did not come into this looking to do a CinemaSins on it—I wanted to be entertained. It's trash TV; I wasn't holding it to particularly high expectations, I just wanted it to be fun, and it was not that.

The Yen & Jaskier bits were legitimately excellent, the highlight of the season, but the rest of it was... jesus, it's a wasteland.

So here we go! 🙃

Watching the recap, got the the mountain breakup:

Geralt: “This is where we part ways for good, bard.”

Jaskier: “See you around, Geralt.”

...Did they just try to motherfucking gaslight us on what Geralt fucking said to Jaskier on the mountain?

Are they hoping we'll forget what an utter shit Geralt was to him, so that they can gloss over that reunion and not have to address how badly Geralt has treated him in the past?

EPISODE 1, kicking off like a monster of the week, this is a strong start.

Wow shit, so Yen killed like 20,000 people at Sodden.

hcav chewing some scenery here, though in his defense the writing isn't giving him much to work with. As a writer, it kind of offends me that people are getting paid for such choppy, clunky, barely-utilitarian dialogue. Seriously, how do I get in on this, I could do so much better.

Ciri's hair and makeup are distractingly inappropriate to how she's supposed to be running through the woods for her life, sleeping on the ground and eating squirrels. Why is her hair loose and flowing and free of tangles? Why is her mascara game on-point and where did she find that weirdly pink lipstick? Is Geralt the one doing her brows?

I know that's something that everyone already griped about when the trailers came out, but it's a failure of visual storytelling, and one that's rooted in sexism. Because the message there is that it's more important for her to be a Pretty Girl than a realistic character. I would have expected better from a female showrunner.

...also her makeup just looks bad.

That said, I am keen to be sold on the relationship between Geralt and Ciri, so I'm looking forward to more of their interactions.

Geralt: “I saved your father's life.”

Ciri: “From what?”

Geralt: “...Your grandmother.”

…aight, that's pretty funny.

I am uncomfortable with the meta-message of SoMeTiMeS YoU NeeD To tOrTuRe pEoPLe fOR iNfoRmAtiOn!! Don't like it here, don't like it anywhere, because when people internalize that belief, it has real-world consequences.

See, Yennefer's makeup looks realistically like she's Been Through The Wars, why couldn't they have done the same for Ciri??

Geralt: “We both need to keep a low profile.”

THEN WHY THE FUCK IS SHE WALKING AROUND LOOKING LIKE A FUCKING PRINCESS?

This enchanted house thing is a rather cringey attempt at comic relief, but small mercies -- if this were the game, then Ciri's bath scene would have occasioned some gratuitous shots of her tits.

Ah, chillax dude, your tusks aren't going to condemn you to being forever alone. Plenty of monsterfuckers in this world.

Since when is ~fire magic~ supposed to be some great taboo?

God, this business with Nivellan is tedious and heavy-handed. You can't whip out this much ~angst~ for a character we just met, that we give no fucks about.

hcav is really hot in some of these shots tho.

Creepy ceiling-girl is creepy!

Gotta say, I'm not impressed with the job Geralt's doing keeping Ciri safe.

Digging the character design for the bruxa though!

…Geralt, could you hit the broad side of a barn with your sword?

Geralt, you have shitty taste in friends. This rapey homicidally-negligent monsterfucker is someone you’re willing to call an ‘old friend,’ when you won’t use that word for Jaskier? I’m Judging.

I am unsure what point they were trying to get at with that with that little story arc, except for a clumsy attempt to make Ciri feel LiKe A MoNsTeR, when it's like -- Okay, but the bruxa killed that entire village with malice aforethought, Ciri, the two of you are not the same.

EPISODE 2

lol Geralt in Ye Olde Larping Costume. XD

Is that Filavandrel? I am so fucking faceblind.

I can't help being conscious of the behind-the-scenes factoid that this was filmed in summer and all the snow is fake and the actors were sweltering.

LOL LAMBCHOP.

Eyy, Geralt gets some hugs, good times!

...but I can't help thinking that having twenty whole witchers in Kaer Morhen is just providing a bunch of redshirts for later.

Why is Eskel being, like, crazy-eyed, rude, and menacing? I am not terribly invested in ~fidelity to the source material~, but it does betray a really disrespectful level of not-giving-a-fuck on the part of the creators, to take nothing of him but the name and make him into a completely different character.

God, all of this “as you know, Bob” dialogue. 😐 AS YOU AND I BOTH KNOW, SEEING AS WE HAVE BEEN WITCHERS ALL OUR LIVES, I AM GOING TO EXPLAIN HOW TO KILL A LESHEN.

EYY, mention of Jaskier! :D

Welp, there's the obligatory gratuitous-tits scene. I suppose it wouldn't be a witcher franchise without tossing in some whores for flavor.

…why are they making Eskel so gross? What the fuck?

This dialogue is incoherent. Like, nothing follows from what was said before. People just declaim their faux-deep fortune-cookie lines Portentously.

Things just Happen kinda randomly and people do things for no clear reason. Nobody likes each other, everyone is vaguely snippy and antagonistic to each other. Why do showrunners never seem to get the message that audiences want found family??

Anyway, now here's Baba Yaga's hut, because of Reasons. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OH BOY IT'S TENTACLE MONSTER, TIME!

Season 2's gift to fandom, I suppose.

I wish Jaskier were here. =/

This portentous and Highly Symbolic hallucination sequence is very tedious.

...

...god, this scene is interminable. What the fuck. Who thought this was a good idea. Who thought that viewers would rather watch this than, I don't know, the main characters having meaningful interactions with each other?

Love how these plot developments are dependent on century-old witchers making rookie goddamn mistakes.

Seriously, is Papa Ves the only one who knows how to do his goddamn job?

Is that Eskel dead?

...It is.

Wow. Bold move, making a fan favorite into a gross incompetent asshole and then killing him after half an episode. o_o

RIP to everyone who was hoping for an enemies-to-allies storyline in which Yennefer and Fringilla are forced to work together against a common enemy. But nope, they just fuck around for two episodes and then go their separate ways again.

Yeah, this season is not looking like it's going to make anyone happy.

This entire episode was pure garbage. This was the easily the worst episode in either season, and that includes the episode in season one (E7?) that was almost entirely comprised of reused footage from E1. Everything that wasn't pointless filler was Bad Ideas, Executed Badly.

Written by Beau deMayo. My dude, you have some things to answer for.

EPISODE 3, HERE WE FUCKIN GO

...What? Why is Lambert blaming Geralt (and Ciri?) for Eskel's death? Wut?

There is nothing happening. I am so fucking bored.

Vilgefortz lookin' good. Love that robe on him.

...we just now got to the title screen for this episode? Oh dear.

They really didn't learn their lesson from season one, did they? That what the audience wants to see is characters bonding and having meaningful interactions with each other, instead of sniping and being assholes to each other.

And now here's Lambert being maliciously, criminally negligent with Ciri. Good times.

Random wolves, for the #aesthetic, because Why Not.

Did Andrej change the terms of the contract so that Netflix had to include more gratuitous tits in this season, to be faithful to the source material?

...I do support Istredd potentially getting a redemption arc though.

Heyyy, that short moment between Triss and Yennefer was actually quite moving and heartfelt! “And I thought, if only one of us is to survive, I'm glad it was Yennefer.”

People! Who care about each other! Showing that they care!

More of this, please.

Lambert, wtf. Like you were any better at that obstacle course the literal first time you tried.

I'm seriously digging Fringilla's look here. 👌

Fringilla-being-femslashable-with-Francesca was not on my season 2 bingo card, but here we are.

Everything with Yen in Aretuza (except for that minute-long interlude with Triss) has been completely pointless. For fuck's sake, writers, give her something to do besides get shuffled around as a POW, and then wander aimlessly around Aretuza having pointless conversations.

And now she is, without explanation, being victimized by Stregobor.

God, it's so fucking frustrating to be told a female character is So Powerful only to have her get damseled at every goddamn turn.

...Is Ciri's training thing supposed to have been taking place all over a single day? Motivated solely by Lambert heckling her? Way to use her training for character & relationship development with Geralt.

SERIOUSLY, SINCE WHEN IS ~FIRE MAGIC~ SUCH A BIG GODDAMN DEAL?

...goddamn, Vilgefortz is fine. I'm glad he didn't die in season one.

This plot point makes no sense, YoU MuSt PrOvE YOuR LoYaLty bY KilLing ThE PriSoneR!! Oh no, but that would make her a murderer!! You mean... the way that roasting 20k dudes at Sodden didn't?

Yennefer's outfit is so distractingly unsuited for... anything. It looks like it's about to fall straight off her chest, and she's only holding it on by keeping her arms pinned at her sides.

This scene with Tissaia came very close to being good. Might just be that my standards on the fucking ground right now, but it was the kind of content I want to see—both of them struggling with the hurt they've done each other, all while caring about each other so painfully much.

HEY HEY, IS THAT THE VERY STUPID SEASON TWO ARMOR I SEE?? :D :D :D

Maybe I can figure out what the back looks like instead of having to extrapolate.

...ah fuck, his bracers have buckles instead of lacing. Got that one wrong.

What was the purpose of bringing Ciri out to where there's a leshy? Why does she have a connection to it? It really feels like a decision that was made for no purpose but “and now we have a contrived Danger Scene.”

To be honest, it might be that I'm paying progressively less attention and that's why this shit seems to be coming out of nowhere.

Yes, Run, Ciri. But why was she here to start with?

Bang-up job you're doing keeping your child surprise out of danger, Geralt.

The scenery is quite pretty, at least.

And I like the monster design with the random human arms attached to it.

(Hu-man centi-pede! 😎)

...okay, but what the fuck was the point/meaning of any of that? What was that monster? Why was it there? Why did Ciri have some mystical connection that told them where to find it? What does it mean now that Geralt killed it?

Seriously, Kaer Morhen was supposed to be a genuine refuge, the literal only place on the Continent where she'd be safe, and they've just been undermining that nonstop. Did they think it wouldn't be exciting enough if Kaer Morhen were safe?

“You must kill the prisoner” is still a stupid plot point, but hey, mention of Djikstra! Been playing TW3 lately and that motherfucker has grown on me. :) Though given the show's track record so far, I'm not getting my hopes up for what they'll do with him.

Are they seriously expecting Yennefer to chop someone's head off? With an axe? That's not exactly a skill she's had occasion to practice. o_O

...Aaaaand it seems even less likely that she'd be able to perfectly strike off Cahir’s shackles and not, like, plant an axe in his spine.

What. The. Fuck.

Is going on here.

She has freed Cahir. And is now running away with him.

This is not a drill. What the shit is happening.

If this were a fic I would have stopped reading by now. This is tedious, out of character, is delivering absolutely none of the content I want to see, and just jumped the fucking shark.

Verdict: not as bad as episode 2, but even more 'what the fucky.' It feels like there has been absolutely nothing accomplished in three episodes, it’s just a blur of people running around doing things pointlessly. There is nothing so far that I have any motivation to rewatch.

EPISODE 4 – IT'S CALLED REDANIAN INTELLIGENCE! DJIKSTRA? JASKIER???

Triss shows up at Kaer Morhen without explanation.

That boar Geralt's carrying is so fucking fake. The way it's balanced on his shoulders makes it so obvious it doesn't weigh anything.

Please tell me they're not going to shoehorn Triss in as a rival love interest. The last thing this show needs is a goddamn love triangle.

It makes no sense for Yennefer and Cahir to be working together.

What—and I repeat—the fuck.

Oh hey, it's an Asian character! Cool, I wonder who she's going to—

...oh now she's dead.

Cool.

Oh, Djikstra killed her, fab.

Because she was an assassin.

Good thing they cast their one East Asian actor in that role.

Hm. They've brought Triss in to be the one to train Ciri; interesting choice, given as how fanfic has taken it for granted that Yennefer would be the one to do that.

God, things just Happen, don't they? Through no decisions or actions that the characters take, they just kinda stumble from one setpiece to the next.

...Are they really going to string out this contrived misunderstanding with Geralt thinking Yennefer is dead, when Triss is right there and knows she's alive?

Yes. Yes they are.

...Does Triss know that Geralt and Yennefer have a Thing going on? Is she aware of that when she makes her play for Geralt? o_O

Ayy, fantasy racism. 😬 It's never useful as an allegory for actual racism no matter how well it’s done, but this is some of the most clumsy and heavy-handed attempts at it I've seen yet.

Their racial casting choices in this season for one-off characters who exist only to die is... hmm.

As an aside: realistically, Yennefer would be at a prime point in her life for being vulnerable to being recruited by religious extremists. She wants meaning, she wants purpose, and that is what all of these movements profess to be able to give you.

JASKIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Singing a very catchy angry breakup song that is explicitly about Geralt.

And being sad and clearly Not Over It.

I live.

Those thirty seconds were worth slogging through the previous three and half hours.

(Sadly, The Hat was only on his head for all of five seconds before a groupie steals it)

Why are the witchers being so pointlessly mean to Ciri? What happened to, like, Ciri and all her witcher-uncles?

...Okay they are actually starting to retroactively explain some of the weird shit that's been happening. I withdraw some of my earlier complaints about monster popping up just for the lulz.

That said, they're not developing the Geralt and Ciri relationship. It's been three and a half episodes, and they are no closer than they were at the start of episode one.

Jassssssskier!

Lol Jaskier is so thrilled that Yennefer looks like something the cat dragged in, for once, and he gets to give her shit for it.

Huh. They are actually doubling-down on Jaskier's broken heart. Like, he literally just used those words for what Geralt did to him, broken heart.

Man, Yennskier is not even my jam, but that scene they just had together was like a breath of fresh fuckin' air after the past three and a half hours.

People! Having realistic emotional responses! Having motivations!

MORE OF THIS, PLZ.

“Your pain... excited me.”

...uhm, what? Triss? What the fuck are you talking about?

Also: seriously, are we supposed to take it seriously when Geralt is like you're important to me, Triss! when they've had no relationship to date except for being mildly congenial colleagues in the striga episode.

Sigh. Good to know that they can even make Jaskier scenes pointless and terrible. Yes, let's have Jaskier blow the operation out of petty spite and then walk away while an old man gets beaten to death.

What the fuck, why does Vesemir want to make more witchers?

I genuinely can't tell whether Jaskier's writing is better than everyone else's, or whether jbatey is some kind of uncanny genius who manages to make his lines sound like they have a meaning and are coming from a real person.

The luuuuuuute! Nooooooo! D: !!!

EPISODE 5

Don't know who this Rience is, but I appreciate the objectifying glow-up sequence he gets.

Also appreciate getting to see Jaskier sing the song again. Exact same footage as the last episode, but I, for one, am delighted to watch it again.

Vesemirrrrrr, why do you WANT TO MAKE MORE WITCHERS???

At least what's going on makes more sense now, even though the plot has become just “Ciri is a macguffin that everyone wants to get their hands on.” But yeah, a lot of the randomness from the earlier episodes is retroactively less random now.

Hoho, the Jaskier-getting-tortured-for-information-about-Geralt scene we've all been waiting for!

HAH, YEN JUST DID A GOOD!! HER FIRST ALL SEASON, BUT DAMN WAS IT GOOD!!

This season is being good for Yennskier shippers, if no one else. It's not my thing, but seriously, these two have more chemistry than anyone else who has interacted all season.

...Okay I'm just gonna come out and say it: Yen and Jaskier have more chemistry than Yen and Geralt. All Yen and Geralt do is Be Hot at each other.

Are witchers only 300 years old in this canon?

It is so fucking weird that Vesemir is being motivated by a desire to make new witchers.

As an aside: I am finding it baffling that there was all that hype about THE DESTINED TRIO being together in season 2, and yet there has been nothing. We’re five episodes in, and Yennefer and Geralt have not even seen each other. He's still under the impression that she's dead, and there have been no developments in the Geralt & Ciri relationship since the first episode.

Like, THE DESTINED TRIO was not the part I was excited for (coff, Jaskier), but okay, that’s the story they want to tell, I’m willing to listen. But then they just... don’t even do that?

And in five minutes they have cracked the secret of recreating witchers.

Wot, are they seriously going to put Ciri through the Trials when Geralt is out of town???

Jaskier @ Yennefer: “YOU DON'T GET TO PLAY DAMSEL IN DISTRESS!! ...that's my job.” 🤣

Seriously, these are the only two people having any chemistry or meaningful character interaction in the whole damn series. And it is good! But meaningful character interaction is so otherwise nonexistent in this season that I was on the verge of being like, “What even is good television? I've lost touch so badly I'm not sure I would recognize it if I saw it.” 🤔

Yennefer needs to lose the garishly purple and anachronistic cloak tho. That would be a start for staying in hiding.

...And now we're back to portentous dialogue that doesn't actually mean anything, followed by fantasy technobabble and Highly Symbolic dream sequences.

Glory hallelujah, they finally cleared up Geralt's misconception about Yen being dead.

Oh great, now Triss is heaping fuel on the fire of Ciri's fears. Because god forbid our young protagonist have any adults in this world who support and believe in her.

Fringilla/Francesca lol, smolder at each other harder why don't you. ;D

EPISODE 6 – we're in it now boyz

Chernobog—boring monster design. Monster design was one of the only things this season had done well, so I am disappoint.

I just realized that they didn't give Vesemir witcher-eyes. Or did they just forget for this episode? o_O

WARNING FOR ROACH DEATH.

That seriously wasn't necessary.

They wimped the fuck out on making Geralt look ~monstrous~ under the influence of his potions. Oh no he has sexy black eyes, WHO WILL LOVE THIS DARK PRINCE?

Oh, that bad CG was bad.

omg, Fringilla and Francesca, WILL YOU TWO JUST FUCK ALREADY??? 🤣

Like, that was not what I had expected to be getting emotionally invested in, but I am starved for halfway-decent character interactions right now, and the two of them? Nailing it.

Powerful women who are, as Francesca puts it, used to leaders and to followers but unaccustomed to having a partner? A personal connection strong enough to test Fringilla's loyalties to the White Flame? Chef's kiss. 👌

God, this is all so clumsily written. Everything with Ciri's storyline, and her relationship with Geralt, and the reveal of everything that's going on with her.

...wait, so all that business with Triss coming to Kaer Morhen was completely irrelevant, and now Ciri is for the first time ~learning to control her chaos~ at Nenneke's temple? Then what the fuck was Triss doing in KM all that time??

Honestly, the only genuine-character moment Geralt has had in this entire season is after he and Istredd knocked out the Nilfgaardian soldiers, and he gives one of their horses a pat on the neck as he's passing by.

I do like how Nenneke comes up to not even Geralt's shoulder and still gets to bully him. XD

Though I find it weird that Melitele is portrayed looking like Shiva.

I forgot what the relationship between Francesca and Filavandrel is. Is he the father of her baby or her brother?

o_O

Also I'm not sure how Francesca is pregnant, whether that was a regular-birds-and-bees thing, or whether the Vision Quest with Baba Yaga knocked her up.

Also I'm drinking now, so my observations will probably become less coherent as time goes on.

Seriously, they do not know how to strike the delicate balance that is Lambert -- someone moral and deeply principled, who is also angry and defensive and preemptively lashing out, but it's all to cover up the vulnerable core at the heart of him.

FiRe MaGiC iS oFF LiMiTs, since fucking WHEN???

Bookstore cat. ❤ MVP of season 2.

Okay, but seriously, people actually have character motivations that make sense now. The Istredd-in-the-bookshop scene is not a masterpiece of cinema, but it's a guy, doing a thing, of his own volition, in pursuit of a goal, and that has been so wholly lacking this season that I'd nearly forgotten it was a thing that was possible.

And I do like Istredd. I've liked him from the beginning, and I'm happy to see him back this season to play a bigger part.

Oh boy, Yen and Geralt are in the same place, I am bracing myself for the excruciatingly Enforced Heterosexuality when they are reunited.

Oh it's here even sooner than I expected it.

So Geralt and Yennefer are reunited!

No conversation, just making out.

And the showrunners wonder why fans are more interested in Geralt/Jaskier. (Or as of this season, Yen/Jaskier.)

Dear friend?, says Yennefer, offended by this understatement, as if that's not more than Geralt has ever called anyone else ever.

For fuck's sake.

Gotta say, I'm not loving this complicating of Yennefer's loyalties. What happened to THE DESTINED TRIO, together against the world? Instead she’s plotting to feed Ciri to Baba Yaga in order to get her magic back, wut?

I am very unclear on what that scene with Cahir and Filavandrel and Dara was meant to convey.

I think this next scene just started out with a reference to the stuffed unicorn from TW3 that Geralt and Yennefer fucked on, but I'm watching Netflix on the PS4 and I don't know how to rewind, so I'll never know for sure.

...Oh god this is already excruciating. Witty. Banter.

This hurts.

Enforced heterosexuality is so enforced.

What does it say that it was a relief to cut from that scene to a woman in excruciating labor pains.

FRINGILLA MAKE THAT BABY BREATHE.

Okay, I am really liking Fringilla's redemption arc (?) as a champion of the elves.

“I keep getting my eyes drawn to the TV because of movement, but something between the netflix lighting and heavy shadows and too much makeup, and seeing it in high-D, makes it looks like an unrealistic video game cut scene,” says my lawyer, who sits in the living room with a direct line of sight to the TV, but has her noise-proof headphones on, per my request, so that she does not have to listen to my shame.

Oh boy, I still have two episodes and change left, and I'm already pretty drunk. I'm not sure I'm going to have anything useful to say by the end of this.

It's pretty fucking obvious that they're setting up for a season three, but frankly, I'm not sure they fucking deserve one.

The staggering amount of contempt they've shown for both the source material and basic fucking storytelling is just...

Just...

*gestures helplessly*

Why do these people have a career in industry? When they've proven themselves to be either uncaring or incompetent or both? What does it take for people who actually care about telling good stories to land themselves in a position where they get to tell good stories with a budget that large?

Anyway, I have fortified myself with pizza to soak up the booze, and in we go toward the final slog.

lol Rience looks like Matthew Mercer. XD

Okay, but seriously, if this entire season was going to feature a non-powered Yen, it needed to feature Yen learning to value herself for things beyond her magic.

Is this suggesting that Triss and Papa Ves had a Thing going on before? lolz

Verdict: If there was a coherent point to this episode, I lost it long ago.

EPISODE 7

They really need to learn how to light dark scenes. I would have to turn out every light in the house to tell what's going on here.

Still not a fan of this “Yennefer is a secret agent for Baba Yaga” plotline.

I feel like we should be getting more objectifying shots of Vilgefortz now. It’s Equality, yo.

Am still liking Fringilla. Seriously, how is she the only one getting a character arc this season??

JASSSSKIER!

Whoreson Prison Blues—mwah, a masterpiece, his greatest work yet. 👌

Yeah, that reunion was... about what the trailers had led me to expect.

But, oh baby. Papering over the hurt yet one more time isn't going to get you what you're hoping for with Geralt.

Jaskier tries to make him talk about the mountain.

Geralt gently touches his shoulder, stares at him soulfully, and changes the subject.

o_o

Yen's riding outfit is fucking gorgeous.

Ciri: “What is it between you and Geralt?”

Yen: "Longing. Regret. Hope. And fear.”

Ciri: “So you love him.”

...jesus fuck, these writers have a toxically heteronormative idea of what love is, don't they.

Welp, and here they go shoving their toxic heteronormativity into the Fringilla storyline too. ‘Blood is the only real bond you can count on,’ huh.

RIP Fringilla/Francesca 😐

I'm not surprised they sank that good ship, but I am disappointed.

Who is this Lydia person, and could they not have gotten someone who could be less of a strutting SPN villainess?

Mm, Geralt and Jaskier, while Jaskier cheerfully strips down for an impromptu bath. Assuming fandom isn't totally dead after this season, I'm guessing this is going to be one of the scenes that fic fixates on.

And Jaskier is a delight, as always, but I am “.....” that their entire conversation is about Yennefer, in a very plot- and goal-oriented way as Geralt interrogates Jaskier to try to figure out her angle. Like, can we get some SCRAP of affection from Geralt, some indication that he cares about Jaskier for his own sake?

I am weirdly happy to see Yarpen again. Maybe I just want Geralt to have friends? People who know him and trust him and are happy to have him along? Idk.

(Though why is Yarpen snubbing Jaskier so badly? Does this show really need to make Jaskier feel like a third wheel yet again?)

I really don't like Yennefer being an unwitting pawn of some evil demon goddess. I want them to be on the same side, I want her to be making smart decisions, not being a dupe.

This is where I should point out that Vilgefortz, as he's been written onscreen, is weird and squirrelly and unreliable at best, and I'm making no excuses for him.

He's just hot, is all. He makes my eyes happy.

Moving on.

OH FRINGILLA.

You don't owe them anything, but I am on the edge of my seat, I am begging you to

FUCK THEIR SHIT UP, MY LOVE.

…

I am kind of confused about who I'm supposed to be rooting for here, but I know who’s more charismatic, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OH SOME JASSSSKIER SCENE, YESSS.

Gomen, I'm really drunk now.

I'll come back to this when I'm sober.

ETA:

I Am Apparently in Episode 8 Now? Maybe? Somewhere in here?

Jesus fucking christ, does Netflix only cast actors-of-color in roles when their entire job is “die at the hands of a white person who's more important than you”????

I told you all those witchers were redshirts.

Which is completely contrary to any Witcher canon to date, but go off I guess.

It is 10:30 at night, I have been at this since noon.

I am angry and tired and ready have this over with.

Seriously, you're going to have Vesemir hop himself up on potions and make himself the antagonist here?

And like, I don't even know what to say here.

Because I'm the last one to go to bat on behalf of canon fidelity to the source material. I think the majority of TW3 is fucking gross, and everything I've heard about the books is even worse.

But on the flip side, there's a reason why so many fans who are female/queer/POC/genderqueer/whatever have found themselves hooked by this fandom anyway, even when the source material treats people like them badly. There are so many story elements that resonate with marginalized groups -- the persecution of witchers, the intergenerational trauma, the loss of self-determination and bodily autonomy in becoming a witcher (or a mage). It’s why there’s so much fic for this fandom, because it’s such a rich vein for stories, and this show is exploring exactly none of that.

And now Ciri is killing Everybody. Because her story, as it existed in the games and the books, wasn't Dramatic enough I guess.

Aaaaand there's Francesca killing babies to fuel her own baby or something.

Sigh.

Must lesbians always be Evil Lesbians?

And this is why allegories of Fantasy Racism always fail at some point. Because irl, there is no ethnic group that can walk through the streets and rip your babies' souls from their bodies as they pass.

Unlike in fantasy, there is no justification for IRL racism.

...Duny don't fuckin touch her you pervert.

(This is my issue playing the game too. Like, I know a lot of people inexplicably ship Geralt with Emhyr, but I do not. Every time he's in the room I want to punch him in the dick. He's like, MY DAUGHTER—

And I'm like—

I have a daughter. You had an orgasm. Step the fuck off, mate.)

...I am not disappointed that we were spared more mandatory heterosexuality, but... jfc.

Yenralt is feeling increasingly like beating a dead horse. Maybe if they had spent more than five goddamn minutes across eight goddamn episodes developing it, it would be more believable, but I am just so done with all of this. Let Yen and Jaskier run off to have frenemy adventures again. Geralt can sit in the corner and think about what he’s done.

“I'm just tired, Geralt,” says Ciri.

“I'm tired too, Ciri,” says Geralt.

“I'm tired three,” says me, after twelve interminable hours of this crap. o_o

Oh god the blocking is as awkward as a high school production of Our Town.

This is supposed to be so dramatic, and I don't know if it's because I'm drunk or exhausted or because it's just plain bad CG, but man, it is not landing.

...this CG is very bad tho.

They haven't earned this level of trust between Geralt and Ciri. =/ They're trying to bank on the strength of that relationship, but it's been 8 goddamn episodes, and they never bothered to develop the Geralt & Ciri relationship beyond what it was in episode 1.

And the ~big reveal~ at the very end is that Emperor Emhyr is Ciri's father—except it's oblique enough that unless you already knew that (or maybe if you’re not faceblind like me), you might not realize that Ciri is the daughter he was referring to. And if you already knew it, then it's not exactly a heart-stopping reveal.

Whatever.

IN CONCLUSION

Season 2 has all the same problems as season one, except worse. The writing is incoherent, on both a dialogue and a structural level. Nobody (except Yen & Jaskier) is having meaningful human connections. They alternate between tossing out allusions to the source material expecting the audience to already know it, vs pissing all over the source material.

idek, man.

As a writer, I’m offended that they didn’t bother to do a better job, because so much of this crap was so easily preventable. Have! Your protagonists! Interact! That would have been a start.

Anyway, coffee_mage and I fixed it.

Belly boops for the Demon brothers!

I felt like writing something chill and wholesome and this came up. Personally I'm a belly boop person, I've always enjoyed watching people's confused faces when I poke their stomach, but sometimes I'll do it out of habit (when I'm leaving a room or saying goodbye to a friend I belly boop them insted of a normal goodbye and won't realize that I did it until someone would point it out or just in very random moments like in the middle of a conversation I'll do it as well) so I decided to hc how the demon brothers react to an mc who does this.

Keys: MC = your main character's name.

Summary: The demon brothers discover a peculiar trait of MC: belly boops.

Additional notes: MC is gender neutral!

Here is part 2 with the side characters!

▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️

Lucifer

The first time it happened was one morning when everyone was getting ready to go to RAD.

Lucifer always opens the door for everyone, and leaves last, so when you past by him you unconsciously decided to thank him for holding the door open in a very...unusual manner.

You booped his belly.

It was so random, that it was one of the very few moments in his life that the avatar of pride didn't know how to react.

—MC, What do you think you're doing?—his voice stopping you on your tracks.

You where confused at first on what he was referring to, but when you realized a wave of embarrassent hit you.

—Sorry! It came out of habit! I used to do that with my friends back in the human world!—you apologized quickly.

—refrain from doing that again, I'll only let it slide this time, understood?

—Yes! It won't happen again!

It did...

The second time it happened you immediately apologized only catching for a split second the death glare he gave you before running away.

Ultimately no matter how much he scolded you, you didn't stop.

I think he kinda...just accepted it once he realized you did that only with the people you're comfortable with. So he took it as a weird compliment.

So now he just stares blankly at you every time you do so, no longer even trying to correct your weird habit.

And to be honest...he secretly thinks is adorable, but he'll never tell.

Mammon

—Whadda ya' think you doin' ya' dumb human!?!?— the avatar of greed asked completely caught off guard.

He was telling you about one of his newest schemes to get some easy money; when all of a sudden, he felt a light and quick pressure on his belly.

It was your finger, but the weird thing was that you still looked like you where listening and waiting for him to continue the conversation like nothing had happened.

He's so confused.

When you realized what you had done, you explained to him it was something you did with your friends in the human world; is your weird unconscious way of showing a person you feel comfortable in their presence.

Blushy boi

—W-well...I guess that's ok, but don't ya' dare doin' this to anyone else, got it?

Your belly boops are reserved for the great Mammon!

Leviathan

Leviathan.exe has stopped working.

You where about to leave his room with a new game (he insisted you should try) on your hands.

—Thanks Levi! I'll let you know my thoughts once I finish it!—you said as he holds the door open for you.

Boop!

You went back to your room not being aware of the blushing mess of a demon you left behind.

"Why MC poked his belly?!?!" "It was probably a mistake, right?!" "No one would like to touch a yucky Otaku like him anyways!"

He won't confront you about it, thinking it was a mistake.

But then one time when you two were playing video games together and you just defeated the other team, he extended his hand in order to give you a celebration high-five.

But then you just...boop!

He blushes even more than the last time, and finally asks you why you did it.

When you explain to him is your own way to express endearment for the people close to you...oh boi.

He blushes so bad and his eyes get all glossy like he's about to cry, for a moment you might even think he's in pain or something.

He never thought of himself as someone you value or hold in such a dear place in your life, so he's just so happy to hear that!

Forget the high-fives! Belly boops are now a must every time you two are together!

Satan

The first time it happened was when you two where studying for a test in the library.

Satan is not a big fan of touch or touchy people; I feel like it makes him a bit anxious.

So when you first booped his belly...he felt kind of uncomfortable, but didn't say anything, thinking it was a mistake or a lame attempt on your part to provoke him.

He won't confront you the second, third or even fourth time it happens, only limiting himself to lightly scolding you with a quick glance.

But if you still don't get the hint, he would finally talk to you (not in an aggressive manner btw he's chill with you about it)

—MC, I don't know if you're doing this as a way to provoke me or make fun of me, but you should know how uncomfortable it makes me—He spoke holding you by your shoulders softly.

You explained to him it was something you did unconsciously, but that you weren't mocking him, Belly booping was something you only did with people you felt comfortable and trust enough to do so.

He gives you a kind smile after hearing you say that; He's truly happy to be someone you can rely on.

He might try to put up with it, belive me, he really does. But he just can't.

You let him know that it's ok for him to not like it, and that you're not mad or dissatisfied in any way, and that you'll be working on controlling this peculiar habit of yours.

He appreciates your words, and now every time that your habit slips, and you try to belly boop him; he'll catch your hand before you can do so and gently lower it, offering you a kind smile instead or...if he's feeling soft he'll hold your hand for a bit.

Asmodeus

He was finishing giving you a make-over when it happened.

—All done, hun! You look so beautiful!! Not as much as me tho...—he said handing you a mirror

—Thank you, Asmo!!! you're so talented!!

And out of nowhere...boop!

Silence.

Asmo, being the avatar of lust, has experienced all kind of touches.

But he has never (or at least not that he remembers) been booped in the belly.

He looks at you with curiosity, even tilting his head slightly, looking like a confused cat before his eyes spark with joy and he suddenly envelops you in a tight hug.

—Awww MC! You're just too cute! You make me want to gobble you up!—

Out of everyone, he's the one who loves belly boops the most, even more knowing the meaning behind them.

He just founds them so endearing, it melts his heart.

Whenever you boop him he'll pinch your cheeks and start baby-ing you.

Beelzebub

You first booped his belly at dinner, big mistake.

He was enjoying his meal when all of a sudden he feels your finger on his stomach.

And we all know Beel is a calm demon but when it's about food...you better don't try anything funny.

He hates being disturbed when he's eating.

He huffed in annoyance, directing you an angry glance you'd only had seen when the whole custard incident happened.

Tho he saw your apologetic expression and decided it wasn't something worth making a fuss about and continued eating.

He'll later feel bad about it tho, so when he came to apologize you decided to let him know it wasn't something you did on purpose and what it meant to you.

Beel was really happy, he even blushed a little and hugged you enthusiastically.

He enjoys belly boops...as long as you don't do it when he's eating.

Belphegor

It happened for the first time when he was falling asleep in class.

When you booped him he just thought it was your way of keeping him awake, so he didn't say anything at first.

That until he started to notice you would also do it in very random moments: You two would be out shopping or something and then...boop!

He's a bit startled at first, but much like Satan, he'll just look at you weirdly and then move on.

Or at least until curiosity gets the better of him and finally asks you about it.

When you finish telling him, a small smirk appeared on his lips.

He's the only one who kinda makes you regret you told him about the personal meaning belly boops hold to you because of how much he would tease you.

But he really likes them, because from now on. Every time the two of you take naps together; Belphie would belly boop you back before dozing off.

▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️

If you find any grammatical errors let me know! I'm trying to improve my english and that would help me so so much!

I will forever thank you if you go check out my other profile: @aileysmirnov where I post things about my OC: edits, one-shots, imagines, art, etc. If you like Greek mythology and the bat family maybe you would get to be as fond of her as much as I am!

Anyway, thank you for reading!
