Imagine Shanks learning you're kind of oblivious

On the Red Force in the mess hall

Shanks: *slams his head down on the table he's sitting at and lets out a loud groan*

Benn: *blinks at him* what's wrong?

Shanks: do you think (y/n) is ignoring me when I flirt with them?

Benn: Dunno

Shanks: Why don't they notice I have feelings for them?

Benn: It's hard to say, but I have a theory that they don't even understand what to do with most social cues.

Shanks: I don't know what that means.

Benn: I don't believe they understand you're flirting with them.

Shanks: and I think they hate me, but are too polite to admit it.

Benn: *sighs and shakes his head* of course you do. I promise that they don't hate you

You: *enters the room* who hates Shanks?

Benn: you apparently

Shanks: *lunges at Benn and covers his mouth to stop him from talking*

You: I don't hate you captain, why would you think that?

Shanks: I was kidding, it was a joke, I know you don't hate me.

You: oh okay. *Leaves*

Benn: I bet you a hundred thousand berries that I'm right

Shanks: you're on.

Six months of consistent flirting later

You: *drinking and laughing with Howl* No yeah, I completely understand, no one ever flirts with me.

Howl: Excuse me?

You: ... no one ever flirts with me?

Howl: that's bull shit, because everyone on the crew has been flirting on you since you joined us.

You: what?

Benn: *butts into the conversation* he's right, we all have.

Shanks: *comes back from the bathroom to see his officers crowding around you* what's going on?

Benn: I was right, they don't understand social cues

You: I understand social cues! ... usually, I mostly don't know what to do with them. And I thought you all were just trying to be nice!

Shanks: I have been trying to flirt with you for the last six months, and you didn't even notice once!

You: not even once.

Shanks: how?

You: *shrugs*

Shanks: Well since you didn't understand the first million times, I'll speak plainly. I like you, I think you're funny, and amazing, and to top it all off, you're good-looking.

You: Oh thank you...uh, I don't really know how to respond.

Shanks: god dammit, let me take you out on a date.

You: sure

Benn: thank the fucking gods, now maybe the boss'll stop moping! Also captain, you own me a hundred thousand berries.

Shanks: about that *throws you over his shoulder and runs*

I got a message from the rabbi of the Jewish association I was briefly part of at my old college asking if I was coming back to that school. I didn’t know how to respond or if I should even respond at all. He is the only person who has reached out and asked me that, of all the people I met and spent time with there.

I’m not going to lie, it did make some part of me get my hopes up, that maybe someone had actually cared about me there. Or at least thought about me. And if I hadn’t replied I could’ve lived in that space forever. But obviously that wasn’t true, because when I responded say I would not be returning due to having a bad experience he didn’t ask any further. The only reason he messaged me was to see if he could cross me off his list of students or not. I said I wasn’t coming back, so I was of no use to him.

Even after the past six months it still hurts to know how soul crushingly alone I was there. No one cared about me there, not past the extremely surface level thought of what I could do for them. I don’t know what happened that made everyone there decide I was bad. At least two people ghosted me and stopped texting me back. One of those people started avoiding looking me in the eye and ignoring me in real life. None of the three people I was supposed to be friends with have texted me since I told them I was leaving, a message which they also didn’t respond to. It’s no wonder that I think there is something intrinsically bad or wrong about me now. I spent that whole semester in a place where I was treated like that was true.

#8/16/22 #i guess if I had to say what I wanted out of that interaction #it would’ve been for him to ask why it wasn’t a good experience. i didn’t need to go into details or even want to but to know someone cared #and wanted to change the behavior in the future so they don’t accidentally hurt someone else would’ve been nice

To have failed in killing Shinichi Kudo . . . he's made a huge oversight.

My video for SLICE (Short Little Iron Chef Edits), at BentoVid! The goal was to create at least a 90-second AMV within 100 hours, using a song from a list of songs only revealed at the start of the challenge. Given my slow editing, I can't believe I did it, but I did!

The song can be found here, and my video is also available on YouTube here, in full 1080p and with subtitles that can be toggled on and off.

WIP Wednesday Game 8/16/23 (Closed) | Math Nerd AU

No Fox had even managed to graduate, let alone make it into the professional league. Still, he had full faith that this year they were going to break the Fox curse.

Seth may be kind of a prick but he was a good guy for the most part and he wanted to graduate. The guys from last year had been too busy being assholes.

Reggie in particular had a stick up his ass, though Matt almost couldn't blame him.

Matt didn't know how he'd feel if suddenly a backliner like Jean Moreau suddenly showed up and pushed him out of his starting position. He'd probably be kind of an asshole too. Especially if the one who pushed him out was a monster like-

"That makes sense." Neil says interrupting Matt's thoughts. "You are pretty talented." Neil adds at Matt's confused expression.

Fellas, is it gay to love something so much that any real reminder of it overwhelms you with emotion? Makes you curl up and throw it away so you don't break down and cry from just pure joy? Because you can't let yourself be happy and in love for some fucking reason, even if it's not a person you're in love with?

I just read a post about wanting shows to swing for the fences and to always subvert expectations.

And, you know fair! I also want shows to swing for the fences!

But reading 'subvert audience expectations' gave me such a knee-jerk flinch and horror flashbacks of all the shows since Game of Thrones that have done 'subvert your expectations' and liking maybe a handful, or less of all the times a show tried to 'subvert' my expectations.

(Game of Thrones is the prime example of Doing. Subvert Your Expectations. Wrong. Westworld is IMO, the second example. Nolan learned all the wrong lessons from Person of Interest and this is why, IMO-- Person of Interest is still way better than Westworld.

And then, for a time there were shows and movies playing the 'subvert your audience expectations game' and I remember hating it because they were doing it wrong).

I'm great with a show just being able to do a lot but also I'm hoping for a show to do both.

There's been some talk about not wanting world and universe-ending threats. All. The. Damned. Time. And, I partially agree with that.

On the other hand, that was almost always the season finale end for Buffy and I didn't mind it.

But, I think, that's because there was room for stand-alone stories along with the universe/world-ending plots.

And, in that space, epic, swing for the fences stories were made.

Also, I 've now binged 911 (first of all why did no one talk about how this show has a variety of stories that's not just the procedural elements. THERE ARE HEIST STORIES IN THIS? C'mon guys, more than hot people and ships, that's my jam. There's halloween episodes? THERE'S ORIGIN STORIES???? Angela Basset and Casey McCall of Sports Night??? Jennifer Love Hewit and Chimney Han???). Also as far as I've watched there's only 18 episodes, long enough for the kind of stand alone character centric, relationship building stories and time to breathe, and some pretty ridic arc stories-- which yeah its a standard procedural but there's also a lot of swing for the fences episodes.

Person of Interest LOOKS like a standard procedural but it's a trojan horse for a fantastic cyberpunk ASI vs ASI story with brilliant character developments and relationships.

#thinky thoughts #stories #procedurals #tv: 911 #btvs #look at me arguing for longer seasons #a few years back i argued for the opposite #and then CBS cut POI's episode order for the final season #and I HATED IT #and since then i have regreted #leaner and meaner #like NOT FOR ALL SHOWS #but for some shows #it deserves longer episodes than 6; 8; or 10 #the shortest I'd go for is 13 episodes #but i don't want to return to 22 to 26 episodes #the longest i would want is 16 to 18 eps #(the reason i hated the shorter season for POI's final season #is because the writers didn't know it was the end #they had to make a call themselves and that's just crappy)
