he swears that bakugou is actually dabi.... we just finished season 1
he says that bakugou has the same hair and he could have started his villain arc back when he was first defeated by deku during their combat training and that that's why he is also my fav character alongside dabi
honestly not a bad theory but i don't have the heart to tell him anything just yet :D
the room is barely illuminated by your bedside lamp and the laptop screen and you feel cozy under the covers of your bed, tucked into wonwoo's side with your arm over his waist and your head leaning against the crook of his neck.
the laptop is propped onto wonwoo's lap and his arm is around your shoulders... he's absentmindedly rubbing his hand up and down your arm; the steady beat of his heart is lulling you to sleep.
he notices your relaxed state and kisses your forehead, tells you in a hushed whisper that he can stop the movie and you can finish another day and you agree, nuzzling your face against his neck and closing your eyes.
wonwoo tries to move as little as possible to put the laptop on the ground next to the bed, because you're not completely asleep yet but your breathing is soft and even; he gets as comfortable as possible and makes sure you're well tucked so you won't get cold before he turns off the light and hugs you closer to him.

I cannot stop thinking about Gordy and Jupe’s storyline, how the movie starts with showing this gruesome, chilling example of a wild creature in a thoroughly domesticated environment snapping and going on a bloodthirsty rampage.
then the movie goes on, we meet adult jupe, he half casually, half uncomfortably talks about the experience with all the bravado of a tv star. OJ and Emerald have to have their meeting with him, because they will soon have their meetings with the alien. Jupe and his past have a direct line to the siblings’ future, and their fight against a wild creature in a thoroughly domesticated environment.
When we realize why this started, we realize Jupe has been luring this wild thing from the sky to his property, feeding it, and using it to entertain his audience. He’s been using the Hayward’s horses (we know how important those horses are to their identities and their family) to convince an alien to come and eat at his ranch over and over.
Why? I think because he was traumatized by his relation to Gordy on the day of the rampage. After all this chaos has already started with the alien, we learn that Jupe and Gordy were face to face, about to connect in a friendly way (their iconic fist bump), before Gordy was shot in the head four inches from Jupe’s face. Jupe never saw the conclusion of Gordy choosing to come over to the last person he saw still moving. Maybe he would’ve just sat down and relaxed? Jupe made him so comfortable, maybe Jupe could have been the thing to calm him down? Jupe knew Gordy so well, he was probably just scared and confused. Who knows what was going on in that child’s head when something this fucked up was going on in front of him.
Jupe is mentally stuck in the immense trauma of that day, we see him frozen in memory, reliving it again, right before his last performance, almost as though he’s remembering because he knows what’s going to happen. The parallel between gordy and the alien is fucking insane, and it’s impossible to stop thinking about.
The exact thing that didn’t kill that scared little kid all those years ago never left his side, it stayed with him until he grew up and made his own Gordy to finish the story the only way he knew how. The alien was never going to spare him, but did Jupe know that? Did his realization really only come when he was staring into it’s eye/mouth/vacuum? Or did he go out there every week, putting on his little cowboy hat and microphone, bringing his family out to watch, with the small itching feeling in this back of his mind that asked, “Was Gordy going to kill me? Will this thing kill me too?”
(And how OJ and Emerald got involved, their dad was killed, just for having these horses, the alien was seeing it’s meals wandering around and went to catch it’s own dinner. Did Mr. “Feed my Neighbor’s Horses to an Alien” think that through at all?)
not sure if i’m reading into this or misremembering, but one of the details i love is how oj would sometimes use horse language (not sure how else to phrase it) when communicating with other people. like when angel first came to set up the cameras and yelled really loud oj immediately went “woah,” but the cadence he said it in sounded like the cadence you’d use with a horse. and when he was holding the door open for em and angel to get in the van he started slapping his hip/thigh in a “hurry up!” motion, which again, kinda made me think of what you’d do with a horse.
Remember being 11 years old hearing “wish i’d been a prom queen fighting for the title instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible feeling super super super suicidal” for the first time. Literally changed my entire life trajectory
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.
“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”
