LMK Migraine HC's:

How would Sun Wukong, MK, Macaque, and Ne zha handle their s/o having a migraine?

Sun Wukong

I think we all can agree that in the beginning, Wukong would really not know what to do or even what was happening to you at first.

HOWEVER

that doesn't mean he isn't concerned when he walks into your room to find all the lights off and zero noise with you on the bed.

But cmon, he would probably be accidentally annoying at first.

"What're you doing, Y/n? It's so dark in here! Lemme fix that!" He would yell loudly.

After you snap at him to get away from the curtains and threaten to turn him into a rug, he realizes he f*cked up.

So, he just heads over to the bed and whisper, "How can I help?"

After explaining you have a migraine and if you're still mad at him, he’d understand and leave you be, but not before leaving pain pills and water at your bedside.

But if you forgive him, he won’t leave your side till the migraine passes.

Ofc, he would be quiet and leave the curtains closed.

Water, painkillers, whatever you need, he will get it.

(Side note: he probably struggle getting the painkillers since he can't read. But plz be patient with him!!!!! He baby boi!)

Then...

THE CUDDLES!

I feel like if you have long hair, he probably would brush his claws through it or even braid it to try and distract you from the pain.

If you don’t have longer hair, he would probably just massage your temples while VERY softly humming a song that hasn’t been played in centuries.

Even after your migraine is gone, you ain’t leaving that bed for a while ‘cause it’s so comfortable…

AND because you are being held hostage by the king of monkey’s.

“Wukong, we have to get up.”

“NOOO!”

Macaque

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Macaque has migraines.

I mean, come on. The man’s got six ears. So sensitive hearing to me seems like a strong trigger for him.

I feel like he might also hate really bright lights cause he is more used to dark environments. Idk if that’s just me or not tho.

So when he comes over and finds you in your bedroom with the lights off, curtains or blinds closed, complete silence, and painkillers on your bedside, Macaque already knew what was going on.

Mommy Macaque to the rescue!!!!

He goes and gets a wet tea towel, before placing it on your head to alleviate the pain.

But he will also be a gentleman about it too to be better

“Hey, (Nickname). I got a wet towel for you. You want me to put it on your head?”

Nods aggressively

Macaque may typically have a lot of barriers up, even with you.

(He can't help it)

But seeing you in pain throws that out the window along with the kitchen sink.

Sooooooooo…

PREPARE TO BE PAMPERED BABY!!!!!!!!

He would get WHATEVER you want!

ESPECIALLY cuddles, huggles, and snuggles!

But once he starts to cuddle with you........

Similar to Wukong, I feel like he won’t you go even after the migraine is gone without a fight first.

“Come onnnn, (Nickname)… five more minutes.”

“Macaque, you said that half an hour ago."

MK would probably be in the middle ground between Wukong and Macaque.

When they come over and find you curled up on the couch with all light and sound blocked, his first thought would be that you are napping. But then they notice your eyes squeeze shut tightly and groan.

"MK? Can you get me some painkillers?" You ask.

MK bolted down the hall to the bathroom to get the painkillers, before proceeding to forget to get you a glass of water.

Once you take the medicine, MK asks softly what's wrong.

"Migraine..."

MK understood. Even though he doesn't struggle with them, I actually imagine Pigsy does.

So, they just do what he does for when Pigsy gets a migraine.

First, a wet tea towel.

Second, water.

Third, food.

IF you can't eat, however, he would encourage you to at least try ONE bite.

If you aren't able to try one bite, however, MK wouldn't be upset. They'd understand and would be right in the middle of leaving before you cut him off.

"Xiaotian, can you stay with me?"

They do, of course. He would be slightly nervous cuddling because they would hate to hurt you somehow.

Even when you assure him that you won't get hurt from a little cuddling, they would still be a little apprehensive at first. But once you fall asleep, looking so peaceful beneath him...

MK'S HEART WOULD EXPLODE

They wouldn't have the heart to leave you alone and would stay.

Honestly, Pigsy and/or Wukong would have to physically pull him away from you.

But they just don't wanna leave you alone...!!!!

Ne zha

I also think Ne zha may possibly have some small experience with migraines.

Mostly 'cause Wukong gave him one too many...

But when he walks into your apartment to find the lights out and seeing you curled up in bed in the middle of the day, his first thought was that something bad happened to you.

What if a demon came in and attacked you?!

What if you were dying!?

What if?! WhAt If!?!?!

"Ne zha, can you close the door? The hallway light hurts..."

Only then did Ne zha realize his spiraling thoughts were pointless.

So, he would do as told before gently kneeling down by your bedside and ask, "What is wrong, love?"

"Migraine..."

Like I said, I feel like he may have experience with these things.

BUT

Not with a mortal.

I imagine things like a migraine for a deity is like a cakewalk compared to a mortal.

ESPECIALLY if you have chronic migraines. (Like mwah)

How-in-is-the-ever, Ne zha would NEVER let you suffer without trying to stop the pain.

So, he would ask what typically helps your migraines.

He would probably try all the at-home remedies in the book.

Warm tea and water to keep you hydrated, a wet tea towel, something small to eat, you name it he will get it.

This man would commit mass genocide to make sure your pain is alleviated.

But when you ask him to stay and cuddle with you, he would likely stutter and blush.

BUT he recover relatively quickly and do just that.

The key difference between Ne zha and the others above is that he actually would let you go once your migraine is gone.

At least, he would if you had somewhere to go.

If ya don't, he will only keep cuddling until you grow weary of it.

He doesn't want to keep you from doing what you need to do just 'cause he loves holding you against him...in his arms...with your soft skin...

No but seriously, will let you go when and only when you decide you need to get up. Very sweet and considerate like that, you could say.

**Ahem ehem** slides over 5 boxes of sweets more cow reader content pls:D

CW: fem cow hybrid reader (reader has breasts and a vagina), bull hybrids, F/M/M/M/M, smut, pet names, vaginal sex, double penetration, handjobs, oral (male receiving), creampies, cumshots

───────────────

"Y/N~" cooed one of the bulls as he slipped beside you. "Where ya goin?"

"To the field," you replied, pointing to the pasture behind the barn.

"Mmm, what're ya gonna do out there?"

"Dunno," you shrugged. "Maybe take a nap. It's really nice out today."

"Mmhm, it is. I'll come with you. Pretty thing like you shouldn't be out there on your own." You laughed breathily, brushing him off. You knew what he was trying to do.

"Ah, you don't have to. I'll be okay, I'm just going to that tree over there."

"But that's so faaaaar. I'll miss you if you go that far away." His hand found your waist, giving your soft flesh a squeeze. "Cmon, lemme go with you and keep you company."

"Oi." The two of you turned to see another one of the bulls approaching you. "He botherin you, sweetcheeks?"

"N-No..."

"Yeah right. He's trynna get you alone, huh?"

"Was not."

"Was to. It's fuckin obvious yer trynna keep her to yerself."

"Fellas, fellas," called out the third bull as he came back into the barn. "No fightin, not in front of Y/N. Yall promised to share."

"Yeah," chimed in the fourth bull as he snuck up behind you, wrapping his arms around you. "This heifer is all of ours, not just yours, 'kay?" The first and second bulls huffed, crossing their arms, looking away. The third bull sucked his teeth, smacking the other two's shoulders.

"Lighten up. Yall agreed to this last week. Quit poutin and suck it up."

"Hmm so where were ya headed, Y/N?" the fourth asked.

"Out to the field... u-under the tree. I was gonna take a nap."

"Yeah? Why dontcha take a nap in here, pretty?" He pressed his hips into your backside, his cock twitching against your ass. "We could all take a nap together."

"I dunno... I kinda wanted to take a nap alone..."

"Whaaaat? Why's that? Dontcha wanna cuddle with us, princess?" asked one.

"I-I do, but—"

"But nuthin, baby girl. Let's all sleep here. We can cuddle up in here where it's nice and cool, don't that sound nice?"

"I dunno..."

"Come oooooon, Y/N," cooed another. "Let's go to bed in here, have a nice lil nap before dinner."

You weren't given the chance to choose: the four bulls were already dragging you along to your pen, surrounding you on all sides.

"So... who do ya wanna sleep next to?"

"Um—"

"She's sleepin by me."

"And me."

"Now hold on, yall got to sleep next to her last night! We should have a turn."

"Yeah."

"Y/N likes sleeping by me the most, dontcha, pretty?"

"Well—"

"Shut up, you don't know shit!"

"Look who's talkin!"

"W-Wait!" you shouted, grabbing all of their attention. "Please don't fight, it makes me sad. I hate when you guys fight..."

The four bulls softened at that, sighing and glancing at each other.

"We're sorry, baby."

"Yeah, we didn't mean to upset you."

"We just... we all just like you so much."

"Yeah, and we just wanna spend time with you."

"We're sorry."

"I forgive you," you muttered, "just don't do it anymore, okay?"

"Okay, princess."

"We promise to do better."

"Okay... thank you."

"You don't gotta thank us, sweetcheeks."

"Yeah, we should be thanking you."

"...What for?"

"For lettin us do this." The bull behind you cupped your tits, giving them a gentle squeeze. You gasped, tensing under his touch.

"W-What?!"

"Mmm, yeah, and for this." Another bull reached out, cupping your pussy in his large hand, grinding his palm against you.

"W-Wait! You said we'd take a nap!"

"We will, we will."

"But we can have some fun first, can't we?"

One bull grabbed your ass, another ran his hand over his stomach. Their big hands started roaming your body, kneading your plush flesh. You whined, squirming under their touch.

"Aww, look at her."

"She's so cute."

"Just wanna eat you up, princess."

"Wanna spoil you."

"Wanna make you feel good."

Before you knew it, you were maneuvered into one's lap, his thick cock prodding at your cunt. Two of them slowly lowered you down onto his cock, the third one kissing you and swallowing your moans. Once you adjusted to the first, you felt another bull behind you, his fat cock prodding at your cunt as well, stretching your poor hole.

"W-Wait! I can't fit two of you!"

"Cmon, baby, let's just try."

"Bet it'll feel soooo good, pretty."

"Lemme just—"

The head of his cock popped inside of you, making you gasp. You scratched at the bull's shoulders below you, moaning as the second bull pushed in slowly, filling you to the brim. You whined once his hips met yours, feeling sooo full.

"There, look at that. It fit just fine."

"Ahh... I-I can't do this—"

"Shhh, just breathe baby. This'll feel so good in a minute."

The two bulls pulled out, pushing back in and making you gasp for air. They started slow, pumping in and out of you, taking your breath away with each thrust.

"Hey, cmon, sweetcheeks. Ya got two hands, dontcha?"

The other two bulls guided your hands to their hard cocks, coaxing you to wrap your fingers around them and start jerking them off. The four of them rocked against you slowly, low moans filling the room as they used you for their pleasure. One of them starting rubbing your clit, another one rubbed your nipples. You became a moaning mess within minutes, gasping and whining as they filled you up your cunt and hands. One of them gently turned your face towards his cock, pushing the head past your lips. You sucked the head of his cock for a minute before the other bull pulled you off, directing your head towards his own cock and pushing it into your mouth.

You didn't know how long it all lasted or how many times you came. All you knew was that you were feeling such an intense pleasure that you were on the verge of tears.

"Oh god—"

"Shit, gonna..."

"Me too."

"Gonna cum in you, baby."

"Gonna cum on your face."

"You want it baby?"

"Want our cum?"

"Beg us for it, princess."

"Beg for our cum."

You were feeling faint, but somehow you managed to form words.

"P-Please! Cum in me, cum on me! Want it, want it so bad! Give it to me, please, please!"

"Aw fuck—"

"Atta girl—"

"Gonna give it to ya real good—"

"Open wide, sweetcheeks—"

You barely processed what happened next. All you knew was that you felt fuller, and warm liquid spilled on your face and chest. Loud moans and groans filled the barn, almost deafening. Hands smoothed over your skin, wiping your face as they pulled their cocks out of you. You felt kisses on your cheeks as you wiped your eyes, whispers of love and praise filling your ears.

"Such a good girl."

"So proud of you."

"Thank you, princess."

"Made us feel so good."

"Always feel so good with you."

"Love you, baby."

"So fucking much."

Moments passed, and suddenly you were being moved again, onto another bull's lap.

"Now it's my turn to be inside that pretty little cunt."

"Me too!"

"Wanna feel your mouth, baby."

"Just lick me real quick, pretty, that's all I want."

You were in for a long night.

Kung Fu Panda 4-All the budget went to the animation (spoilers)

Hey all, its me, the guy who everyday make a tour around this site but almost never talk. How are ya?

Two days ago something arrived to the cinema's screens, something that me and everyone were waiting for since 2018, the fourth film and the begginig of the new kung fu panda triology.

You know? When I sat on that theather seat with my friends to see what Dreamworks had prepared for us, I told myself; "Maybe that post I made a while ago throwing shit at what seemed like Kfp 4 was going to be was a bit hard, I hope I can come out regretting what I said that time"

And as soon as the credits ended, it was clear to me, I dont regret a shit. Maybe it was a little exaggerated, compared to what a megamind fan would think about the terrible sequel they made, but still: the film is crappy and boring most of the time. But why?

I'm going to explain some points.

1- Po? Is that you?

I don't know you guys, but i don't think the panda we knew in the end of the third film is the same as this one. Seriously, he share more comparisons with the Po from the legend of awessonless than the one from the films, maybe its a personal thing but it feels that way. At least in the beggining of the film feel like that.

And I don't know what he was thinking about when he decided to follow a thief he doesn't know at all and who tried to steal in his own palace, and that suspiciously know who is the chameleon, whose were her plans, her past, where she lived, where exacly they had to pass through avoiding all the guard inside her home, why the others thiefs of the city hate her so much... With Po's experience with criminals this is like a chef throwing water on a pan with boiling oil, it's obvious what is going to happen.

2- Zheng- Female Nick Wilde but without charisma or half of his intelligence.

I knew it from the first moment I saw Zheng's desing, the people who know me can corroborate that; her facial expressions, her tone while she talk, her animal race, her position as thief, her final when she is part of the justice same as the protagonist... it's clearer than water I think.

Everyone could say this is forgivable if she's smart, but surprise, she's not. This character is just an absurd try of this company for """"conect with infant audience""""(I don't know in what sense, I supose for the cute design, idk). But the point is, the supposed objective of the hollywood companies is give the new generetions better things than we got at their age, but what I see is laziness for write a decent scrip only for take an advantage of a known IP and make easy money. Even the children have quality standars, this is not the dragon warrior and of course this is not kung fu panda.

And talking about the dragon warrior, having our deep and lovely Tigress with her magnific development or Tai Lung back from the spirit realm... why in the hell this character exists?! Oh yeah, for being trending topic in twitter for three days. Yay...

3- The furious five and Shifu, for us : our pretty boys, and for Dreamworks: living jokes.

What made Kung Fu Panda what it is, is not the fucking panda, it's them. They're the inspiration for Po, their allies, the royale representation of kung fu and the ones which everything started with.

Po's a comic relief, and his mission is show his development in part using his humor, but the humor in this film barely works because of the lazy script. Something that even the talented Jack Black himself can't fix, beacuse his only role there is dublin his character, unlike the rest of the residents of the Jade Palace except Dustin Hoffman.

Seth Rogen (Mantis) himself even said that he wasn't even contact by Dreamworks in the first place, only for make a scream in the credits, that's sad beacause he really wanted to see Mantis on the screen. And I know and I understand that the five are expensive, but cmon, they could just simply change the voice actors and offset it with a good script but that's not the case of course. Their role in the film is being a counter for Po's constant jokes, for not to saturate the spectator with jokes, now that's not in there anymore, thank you Dreamworks.

4-The chameleoooohhn and her "motivation".

I can't say much, basically because out of her design she's nonsense. She says that because of her size, she was reyected for being a kung fu warrior.

Yeah of course but only one little thing, what about Shifu? Viper, a warrior without tips? Mantis, literally a dawn insect? Master Oogway, a TURTLE? The masters goose? C'mon even there's a fucking master chicken! Don't talk shit chameleon!

Her importance for the plot? Its almost a lie, the others villains had links to important characters; Tai Lung (with his link to Shifu's past), Shen (with his link to Po's past) or Kai (with his link to Oogway's past), all of them related to important characters. And her? To zheng's past and present I guess? But again, anyone know this character. She's like a villain from a Disney show, you know the type of villain who say a lot of things but at the end, she don't support nothing to the lore.

And her personality is like a mix of all the previous villains, and this sounds good right? HAHAH nope. Do you remember when as a child you mixed all the plasticines of all the colors to create the final color and you ended up with a color similar to poop? well that's exacly how her personality feels like.

5- Po's dads; the only reason they're there is because they ran out of characters to make the film.

The tittle itself tell everything, they don't do anything for the script in all the film, and their objective could be done since the start.

The script of the film except for the final looks like a draft which they didn't know how to complete, everyone who watch it can see it perfecly. The animation, the music and the backgrounds are the only things notable here.

6- Tai Lung and the cheapness nostalgia.

Fan service is not necesarry bad, above all if is used in a good way, they sold us Tai Lung as a miracle but his importance for the plot feels just like a Stan Lee cameo, I like Tai Lung I can say that. But this is too weak, Shen and Kai are only characters in the background who don't do nothing except being defeated or make facial expressions (I don't even joke that Shen would show respect to Po considering what we saw in the second movie, and Kai wasn't supposed to be destroyed as a spirit, what the hell is he doing here again? *sign* I'll to stop trying to make sense of this).

By the way, anyone else think that the dragon warrior role is understimated? I mean Shifu obligated Po to transfers the role to another one just because yes, i mean he only has been the dragon warrior for less than 5 years and now they want to replace him with a random. Everything just for at the end, he choosed a thief with at least 30 crimes registred and who was a traitor during the 75% of the movie.

7- The """""""""humor"""""""", except they forgot the parts where I must to laugh.

Seeing nonsense hits only beacuse yes stopped of being funny a long time ago, and no, I don't want to talk about the bunnies of the portrait because I would get sick. I had to go to the cinema drunk to endure the filler that the movie had, no joke, it was the only way to laugh at those jokes.

So I think about applying the same method as in any movie with bad jokes, ignoring the jokes. I tried to do the same thing but with the pace that the film managed, such a thing was impossible, the pace of the movie seems to be made for Tiktoker children with attention deficit. From the chaos in the quarry until Po takes the bitc... uhg fox out of prison, only 10 fucking minutes pass, all of that for what? So that you feel like the baseless information and the nonsensical plot that they tell us is of any use? they could simply make a non-canonical short and that's it, but no, yes or they were going to tell us a story written by rotten old men who spend the entire day watching Tik Tok. It's not going to be that the child who sees this doesn't get bored, we know that much today's children don't have many neurons as they say, but even to make movies for them you have to have a certain talent.

In some point at the beguining Po make a joke about the ausence of the furious five saying that at least he had them in cardboard posters, and this would be a good joke. Only if the stupid film could be prove that the franquise can do something memorable without the furious five, but again, that's not the case.

Don't have any respect for this movie, look what it had with you. I understand that it is enjoyable because of the animation but it does not go beyond that line, it destroys important things about the canon and spoils its teaching about the need for change by treating it in a terrible way.

Coclusion: KFP 4 is just another Po's adventure as Shifu says, it won't tell nothing to you or make you feel different, it's a shame but after Megamind 2 I imagined something like this. It's a dark era for film, expecially the animated one so like Scar said; Be prepare, there're worse things waiting for us.

Do you want something with real quality? You don't even need kung fu panda 1,2 or 3, for make it easy to this film let's take this marvelous example; kung fu panda: secrets of the scroll (2016). You'll say; "An animated short, this is not like-" Shhh Just watch it, you won't regret it.

If you think I'm wrong in something, just rewatch the film. And if still you aren't agreed with me, well, I respect you and I'm happy you like it. I wish I could love it as you do, but that doesn't mean that the movie isn't bad, because if you watch it with your brain on or remembering the previous movies it's terrible.

. Me? I've to write a story, I love you all. Except you, Dreamworks, I'm mad with you, expecially when you do this at the same day as Akira Toriyama's death :(

#kung fu panda #secrets of the scrolls #kung fu panda 4 #kung fu panda 2 #tigress #furious five #akira toriyama #dreamworks #po ping #lord shen #tai lung #general kai #kung fu panda 3 #the lion king

Twisted Wonderland's Phantom

Hi! I hope you enjoy this! This is the introduction of the crossover of Phantom of The Opera x Twisted Wonderland. Do forgive me if theres any grammar mistakes or repeating themes. I wrote this with a migraine lol but I have been seeing everyone talking about this for months now, and today was the day I have decided to write it now that I have a small break from school + My job rn.

If you have any questions, or wanna talk headcanons, or just want to shoot me a compliment; feel free to throw it in my inbox!! <3

Chapter One(You are here!), Chapter Two, Chapter Three, Chapter Four, Chapter Five, Chapter Six, Leona's Ending, Malleus' Ending

~Bnuuy out!

Y/N, also known as the prefect of Night Raven College of Magic. AKA The Dorm leader in charge of the lonesome home named The Ramshackle; or in other words, Y/N the Magicless Human. The story has been told many times in rumors or whispers of the magicless human within the prestigious magical all boys school across the crowds of thousands. How they arrived with the other new years and how life started for them within this new world as a cat sitter, as well not being able to use any sort of magic left a mark within the school. Yet, here they stand, with friends from across all the dorms within the school as they have saved them from countless Overblots.

“Guys, I’ve told you many times, I’m just going to the library to go check out a new book. You do not need to follow me!” Y/N exclaimed tirelessly as their compatriots, Ace and Deuce, followed them with smiles on their faces.

“Cmon Y/N! Lighten up! Its the final school year of Night Raven College! Certainly you don't want to be sticking your nose in some boring books! Right Deucy?” Ace chimed out as he nudged his fellow troublemaker who only grunted at the elbow.

“Well… Y/N can do whatever they would like to do-” Another nudge from Ace’s elbow, perhaps a bit more rougher this time caused Deuce to cough a bit. “-But yes! You could be spending time with us at the unbirthday parties! And plus, the alumni are coming today! Riddle, Vil, Leona, all of your friends are coming to visit the school JUST for this week! Don't you want to see them?” Deuce asked, rubbing his side where Ace had nudged a bit too roughly.

True, this was indeed your third year at Night Raven College with no luck in finding your way back home, so this was your only chance to start studying hard to make your footing and to make a stand for once you are officially graduated from the College. Only making it more the wiser to really get your butt in gear of trying to find what you would want to do after this year. Grim would most likely be on his own, having surpassed both Ace and Deuce in study, but you could’ve guessed it was out of pure power instead of intelligence. Deuce would most likely follow his dream of becoming a police officer and making his mother proud, as for Ace…? You shuddered slightly at the thought of Ace becoming more than just a student at Night Raven College, and couldn't bring yourself to think about the possibilities he might have as an adult-prankster.

“I do but guys, you already know what you will or want to be doing outside of Night Raven, and I don't… So, I have to get started on getting my foundation really set up before I am graduated.” Y/N started towards their two friends, Grim just happily purring away on your shoulder as you argued back and forth before shaking your head. “Follow me or not, but I’ll be going into the library to see what I can do for a living as a magicless person within Twisted Wonderland.” Rolling your eyes while opening the large door to the library with a loud creek, the two could only watch as you walked in and the door shut with a loud slam.

Now the library was impressive, many books dating from all around from history to How To’s books. If Crowley knew anything, it was that he was an impressive hoarder of books- although you doubted he knew that- or doubted if he could even read considering all the slacking he's been doing in getting you home. So much for a Gracious Kind Headmage. Humming to yourself as you began to walk down the countless isle of books, memories flashing within your head as you pass down certain isles.

How Floyd Leech chased you down the history isle, begging to squeeze you while you were ushering a poor certain Riddle to run away and hide. Becoming Floyd’s new toy for the next hour until he got bored.

Rook Hunt recommending some certain weird books about how hunting and survival tactics would be important for you if you ever got lost in the wilderness. At least now, you’re able to tie a knot very well as well as start a fire!

Jamil and Kalim studying hard at a table- Well… Let's be honest here, more like Jamil trying to force things into Kalim’s mind who was more busy talking to you and asking about your day than actually studying.

Lastly, Malleus reaching above you to grab a certain book you were wishing to read for fun and for him to hand it to you with such gentleness, you could feel your heart pounding in your chest as you called to your friend, Tsunatrou so happily and thanked him for reaching the book for you.

Pausing at that isle as you could almost see the figures of your friends whizzing past your eyes like shadows of long forgotten dreams. Shaking your head slightly, you trudged forward only for something hard to hit your head, causing a familiar NYAH! To echo within your ear as your shoulders become lighter. Grim and this large thick book layed on the ground as you rubbed your head in pain, letting a quiet groan in pain as you collected yourself back together.

“Grim, how many times have I said not to drop things on me?” You questioned out accusingly towards your roommate who only let out a small pout, shaking his head furiously at your accusations.

“It wasn't me this time, I assure you Y/N! This book fell off that really top shelf!” Grim pointed his paw up to the very top shelf that you knew you would need a ladder to reach. Sighing, you picked up Grim and held him close to your chest as you looked down at the book accusingly only for your reaction to turn miffed and confused. The words on the book were swirling around in different languages, if you could assume, for only when you reached out to touch it, it changed to your native tongue.

“Phantom of The Opera?” You whispered out, eyebrows raised as you looked at the book with curiosity and disregarding the whines of Grim who suggested that this book was not a book you two should dig into. Grabbing the book and stuffing it into your bag, you quickly left the library with a newfound of urgency to head straight back to the ramshackle and dig into the book with a profound sense of curiosity.

Crewel did say to you once while you were trying to find a certain book about potionology within his room, of course with no such luck sadly, that books sensed with magic will choose who will read them next. That sentient books were also very dangerous if put into the wrong hands if the book chose who it got transported to next wrong.

“Y/N! MYAH! I don't think we should dig into this book!” Grim shouted out at you as you set him down on the couch within the Ramshackle, having run home quickly to dig your nose into this book. Grim could feel it, but you couldn't. Something was wrong with this book but he couldnt put his paw on it just yet…

“Oh hush Grim! Everything will be okay! I'm magicless, remember? I don't think I can even wield a grimoire!” You stated out as you rushed up the stairs after having placed your keys, phone and wallet down on the counter. Leaving a very concerned Grim behind your tail with ears folded down and a queasy feeling in his stomach that was not akin to premium tuna fish hunger…

“That's what I'm worried about…”

It wasnt hard to get yourself settled in your room, book in hand, ready to dig into its contents or find out what this Phantom of The Opera is. The Alumni should be here within the next hour so certainly you had a bit of time to at least get started into the book, right?

A small glimmer rippled through the hard cover of the book, as if whispering you to open it, begging you to turn to the first page. As if you were under Jamil’s special magic, you slowly peeled back the cover and turned to the first page only to find it blank, then the next page, following the next page. All of it was blank! Sighing in frustration, you began to flip through the pages until the book forced you to stop on one. On the page, a glimmer rippled through it only for a large red rose to appear, a mask, and a diamond ring. A message soon appeared underneath the items, a prompt;

Choose One.

Huh… This is interesting.

Humming in curiosity, you reached forward to pick up the rose, it was clean of all thorns and had few leafs on it. A delicate specimen that Riddle would’ve shamed you for plucking had it been in his own rose garden. Yet, once your fingers glazed over the stem, your vision began to get heavy and dark, it was getting harder and harder for your eyes to stay open as you fell unconscious in a matter of seconds.

Meanwhile, Grim huffed and puffed downstairs, waiting for you to come out from your room to feed him. An hour had passed and you promised to feed the Alumni and Grim tonight at Heartsabyul! Yet you were still locked away within your room and here he is, waiting on his henchman again!

“Y/n! Cmon! Im hunnggryyyy!!” Grim shouted out from downstairs, making his way up to your room now. WIth a hard shove into the stubborn old door, he found himself with the book on your bed and with you nowhere in sight. Stunned and alerted at your lack of presence, he let out a loud MYAH! As he booked it downstairs and out the door to the one place he knew he could go to for help.

Heartsabyul.

The party was already booming, the roses had been painted red, everyone seeming to be enjoying tea and the treats that were brought along. At least Riddle seemed to be enjoying himself back in his seat of Queen. Leona wasn't too far down but he seemed uninterested in all the sweets but more of the meats that Savannahclaw had brought in for the party. Of course, Azul had also brought along Floyd and Jade to sell out merchandise of her flourishing outside of NRC business. Jamil and Kalim were off to the corner, Jamil having brought their own food for Kalim to eat. Iida and Ortho were obviously nowhere to be found but some snacks had been going missing here and there. Vil and Rook were pestering Epel who had flourished perfectly, complimenting their Poison Apple. As for Malleus? My, did he receive an invitation? No one can recall.

“GUYS! I NEED HELP!” Grim’s screeching voice ripped through the garden, causing all fun and festivities to stop. Usually when Grim is screaming, a Prefect is certain to follow afterwards. Yet, As Grim bounded over the table to Ace and Deuce with no Prefect in tail, the air got visibly tense.

“Y/N HAS BEEN ABDUCTED AFTER THEY PICKED UP THIS BOOK FROM THE LIBRARY THAT HIT THEM IN THE HEAD! I CANT SMELL OR FIND THEM ANYWHERE!” Grim screeched out as Deuce and Ace were looking at him weirdly. Suddenly, the sunny day within Heartsabyul got cloudier… And Cloudier… To where it looked like it was about to storm.

“Where is the Child of Man?” An all too intimidating presence made itself known. Malleus, with a decorated invitation personally assigned by Y/N stood by the entrance of the garden. Lilia, Silver and Sebek all standing there alongside him. Leona was not impressed by this showcase of purely a tantrum from a now King of Briar Valley. The air was tense, the cake was suddenly no longer sweet and the tea was ice cold.

“Settle down Malleus, I’m sure this is one big prank from Grim to try and scare us all.” Lilia spoke, a small ‘fufu’ following afterwards as he stared out into the large crowd. Leona was the next one to speak, slicing the tense air with a knife.

“I hoped you wouldn't show, yet here you are. And Grim, if you’re pranking us, its a horrible prank and you need to try better next time.” Leona sighed out, rubbing his temples as he stood up. He didn't need to be here anyway, if it weren't for his brother pestering him to go and Cheka kept getting into his business now as being a little older of a cub. If the only one who was taking it seriously was Malleus, Deuce was also included in the worry.

“What do you mean Y/N got abducted, Grim? Where are they?” Deuce asked out urgently as he stared down the grey haired familiar of yours. Grim looked around the room, hoping other than Deuce and Malleus were worried, he could smell the concern rising from Leona but made no rush to comment about it. Vil and Rook were both on edge as they stared down the cat and Riddle’s eyes were boring into the soul of Grim, as if trying to see if he was lying so he could cast his unique magic on him.

“Well! Like I said, there was a book that fell on top of Y/N and I in the library and the words kept moving-” Grim was cut off by Vil who’s eyebrows raised up in alarm.

“A Sentient book? Did they open it?”

“If you would let me finish- yes! They did! Y/N ran up to our room and when I went in there to collect them to come here, the book was open and they were missing!” Grim started out quickly, ears falling to the sides as they thought of their poor henchman, being kidnapped or even worse! Having gone back to their world without saying goodbye to him!

Riddle stood up abruptly out from his hair and sighed. “Let us go then, if Prefect needs our help, we will give it. Just as they have helped us through our overblots.” Though, he could hear some grunts of displeasure around the table.

“Nehhh~... Whats in it for us though?” Floyd’s voice came out, looking bored as ever as he stood near this little popup cart that Azul set up for Jade and him to run. At hearing a price to help Y/N, others began to agree until a flash of lightning hit the tree not too far and trailed after a large boom of thunder. Malleus was not impressed by the company he was in, and quickly proved to change their minds. The answer was clear;

Help Y/N or get Smited Down by the King of Briar Valley.

It's a good thing they of course all loved you very much!

So here they stand, Grim pointing down to the book accusingly as he sat on Deuce’s shoulders. Leona, Vil, Rook, Riddle, The Tweels, Azul and All of Diasomina stood within your room. All accusingly staring down at your book with mixed faces of confusion, annoyance, and regret. While the book was still open, still had the mask and diamond ring upon its sparkling surface with the sentence below it

Choose One.

“Do you really think Y/N chose one?” Ace would ask out curiously, reaching forward only for his hand to be stopped by Rook who was smiling at him.

“Mon ami, you wouldn't want to toy with what you don't know, oui?” Rook lightly scolded Ace who only huffed and pulled his hand away from the blonde frenchman.

“Its sad that I didnt teach more about Sentient books to our little potato. Mayap they would’ve learned that messing with such forms of magic is forbidden- Especially when it hits your head in the library.” Vil would sigh out as he looked over the items. What could a mask and diamond ring have to do with anything? Did Y/N take something? If they did, what was it?

“I do not see the issue with these items. Certainly it must be easy to collect Y/N.” Malleus would state as he would reach forward and grab the mask. Being a man with powerful magic, he didnt instantly get knocked down but it did temper with his magic. Sebek was immediately alerted by this and attempted to grab the mask to protect his master. Silver reached out to do the same and Lilia was there to catch Malleus’ fall before they all were transported in. Their souls became little wisps that were shot straight into the book while the mask stayed floating before crumbing into dust.

“Well, I understand now.” Deuce would state out and shake his head. The last one was the diamond ring. Leona’s hand was first to grab it.

“There is no way that damn lizard is going to save Y/N. I’ll be the one to do it.” Yet Vil, Rook, Riddle, Azul and the Tweels were grabbing after him. They wanted their share of glory in helps of finding their beloved Prefect. Afterall, the King and the Prince shouldn't have all the glory now, nor all the fun- Could they?

As their souls turned to wisps, they all shot into the book as Ace, Deuce and Grim watched this debacle happen before their very eyes. With a loud bang, they all came to realize that the book had shut itself and a title appeared before the Adeuce gang.

The Phantom of The Opera.

Your thoughts on the most controversial parts of CHoT according to TSC fandom? 🎤 (some topics that were frequently discussed / people had really intense reactions to this whether it was hate, excitement or disappointment)

Grace redemption arc (people either thought that she didn't deserve it or didn't see why any redemption was needed at all cause she's a victim)

James/Cordelia/Matthew love triangle (lots of people thought it was boring and unnecessary. My opinion: I liked Matthew & Cordelia scenes in Paris but I wished their drama ended when they returned, cause Daisy obviously wasn't in love with him + Jesse/Lucie/Matthew could be much more yummier I said what I said)

Christopher's death

Kit & Grace friendship (potential romance?) scenes. (People either thought that he was choosing her over James and that Grace didn't deserve him or were completely in love with them)

Daisy/Lucie relationship (people either hated the idea of them being parabatai cause they thought they're an awful match or were completely in love- THAT'S ME THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SM I HAVE A WHOLE POST WITH PROOFS)

I'm sorry if it's too much🥺you can answer some of them later in a separate post if you want🥺

Eeeeeee okay let’s go I’m bored anyways

First of all, Grace.

I have always been sympathetic towards Grace, especially since we got her POV in Choi. I’m leaning towards, well, she didn’t need a redemption arc cause she’s a victim, BUT it’s a little more nuanced than that.

Grace’s actions hurt people, even if they were driven by Tatiana. What she needed was do understand that people were hurt, forgive herself, acknowledge that it wasn’t her fault (which, again, is a part of her forgiving process towards herself), and start over with a fresh slate, which is what happened. But again, people were hurt. They also needed to take time to themselves, acknowledge their own hurt, go through their anger and all those other emotions, eventually acknowledge that Grace was also a victim, and if they want to, forgive her. Which, again, is what happened!!!!

Grace’s arc was never a redemption arc, it was a healing arc.

Second, the love triangle

I’m just glad i didn’t have to go through a whole book of “ohhhh do I love JAMES or do I love MATTHEW” with Cordelia going for James at like, the very end of the book. I’m glad Cordelia ended the whole triangle business once she realised she would always love James, regardless of whether James loved her back. (And, I loved that in that scene, it wasn’t a question of which boy Cordelia was choosing, but whether Matthew deserved to be second place to someone else, which he didn’t)

Then again this whole thing happened because Matthew and Cordelia kissed on that bridge. Or else once James arrived at Paris all this would be over within like, a hundred pages and there wouldn’t be a love triangle at all.

Then again, I understand WHY that kiss happened sooooo.

Yeah. I’m mostly relieved Cassie didn’t delegate to a boring cliche YA love triangle. She may include an unnecessary amount of love triangles but damn does she write them well.

(Also, yesssss Lucie/Matthew/Jesse was such lost potential and I mourn it everyday)

Third, Christopher’s death

I have a lot of mixed feelings. Why. It made everyone sad. It made Gabriel and Cecily sad, and it’s a shame we never got to see it. Most importantly it’s making my best friend sad, cause Christopher is her favourite character.

Like. Yyyyyeah I know it would be unrealistic for everyone to survive the last book but. Cmon Cassie. Kit? Really? You already killed one Lightwood this series wasn’t that enough? Aaand that too not long after his little brother almost died? Bad Cassie, bad.

I got spoiled for this death before I read the book, and I was scared, but I’m glad his death wasn’t meaningless (like it was for Matthias from SoC). He died protecting Cordelia. He died in Anna’s arms, and his death touched her. His death was the driving force behind Cordelia’s blade when she killed Tatiana. His death led to a very pivotal moment for Grace’s character arc.

Overall, it didn’t seem like a death for a death’s sake, but I wish we saw the impact more - especially on Gabriel and Cecily.

Fourth, Kit and Grace’s friendship

Iiiii don’t really see them in a romantic light, and I’m glad there wasn’t like, any kissing scenes between them.

But other than that, I adored them. Grace needed someone to see the good in her, who believed in her, and Kit was that. Aside from being really really wholesome (I do love a good academic friendship or relationship), this relationship was what Grace needed when she was otherwise completely alone.

Aaand I don’t think he was choosing her over James. He didn’t know, for the majority of the book, that James hated Grace. Heck, no one knew for the majority of the book that James hated Grace. And when he does find out, he flinches. Because he knows James’s hatred means he might have to choose.

But he doesn’t. He doesn’t choose Grace over James, he never did, instead, he built a bridge between them. He is the one who talked the whole gang against holding a grudge against Grace. That doesn’t seem like choosing to me.

Finally, Daisy/Lucie friendship

I do see where the first category people are coming from. Not that Daisy and Lucie don’t love each other, but they spent the first two books hiding a lot of secrets and running behind each other’s backs and just. Not being very parabatai-ish

But this book was all about fixing that!!! It was all about them acknowledging they had a problem, arguing about it, making amends, etc etc. Two of their scenes in Edom - the one with the demon Crapas(?) and then again in the shelter, basically sum the whole thing up. Their friendship was out through the wringer this whole trilogy, and they now came out stronger than ever.

So yeah! Basically they love each other, they just had a brief breakup is all :’) all in all, I loved their arc.

theories for chain of thorns

i had these posted on my gr from like december, im just posting them here

- lucie will now be an antagonist lets be honest we all know it. necromancers are NOT good people and thats the path lucie chose for herself by wanting to save jesse

- someone major will die idk who it is yet, but my instincts tell me its matthew or alistair. the second wouldnt make sense tho – if alistair dies, how would the carstairs line continue down to emma??? hopefully itll be tatiana that bitch

- jamie x daisy its inevitable guys, have you seen the snippets? im rooting for them theyre perfect

- thomas and alistair are NOT gonna end up together this was a gut feeling when i wrote it but as of jan 5 i have a legible reason as to why they would not be happy and its the next theory

- IM SCARED THOMAS IS GONNA DIE the “found family tree” says that thomas died TWO YEARS before barbara. i understand cassie has repeatedly stated that its been manipulated (she hinted that it was changed by the silent brothers) and isnt reliable. but isnt that disturbing?? esp considering theres at least part of it thats reliable, and thats the fact that alistair will 100% go on to marry a woman despite being gay. if alistair doesnt have kids, and cordelias children are all herondales, then the carstairs family would die out and emma would not be related to jem (even tho its been stated that they are related by blood). “oH bUt SoNa iS pReGnAnT mAyBe ShEs GoNnA GiVe BiRtH tO a bOy” first of all, theres a chance the baby is born a girl second of all, the baby might die third of all, where is the son on the family tree? fourth of all, SONA IS, ACCORDING TO THE TREE, DEAD BEFORE THOMAS. PLEASE.

- grace x christopher i despise grace but she acts like a different person around kit… maybe he can fix her

- anna x ariadne she cant fuck up ALL the gay relationships, now can she?

- the merry thieves are gonna forgive alistair (specifically matthew) bro he literally made out with one of them TWICE. if matthew doesnt think “well shits gonna get awkward if i dont forgive the sorry bastard” istg~ 💀

- this is more of a hope than a theory MATTHEW FAIRCHILD SHALL ACHIEVE THE HAPPINESS HE DESERVES smth tells me he wont get a happy ending tho… i mean, if my above theory abt thomas is correct~

- SO DOES ALISTAIR I MEAN CMON GUYS #justiceforalistair he regrets the shit hes pulled and therefore your hate against him for it is invalid PLUS HE GOT BULLIED BY RACIST PIECES OF SHIT HE DID WHAT HE COULD TO MAKE IT STOP

- matthew will open up abt his secret its like a routine at this point, in every shadowhunters series. a character has a secret that nearly kills them outta despair, they open up to friends, theyre met with love and support. jace loving his “sister”. wills “curse”. emma and jules’ relationship. ty bringing back livvy. alec being gay. you get used to it lol

- either lucie or matthew would have their marks stripped lucie for attempting/committing necromancy, and matthew because sobh said he doesnt have a specified death date (also i think cassie just hates him)

- jesse will be evil bro wouldnt that be cruel… like imagine after lucie brings him back hes like “haha i manipulated you to bring me back i never loved you” and then sHe GETS HER RUNES STRIPPED FOR NECROMANCY and its worse bc the shadowhunters are already out to get the herondales bc they refuse to accept tessa as anything but a warlock no but in that case she would prolly go to live with wills parents OKAY BUT IMAGINE HOW HEARTBROKEN CHARLOTTE WOULD BE WHILE DOING IT WHILE JAMIE IS CRYING AND MATTHEW SCREAMING AT HER NOT TO AND WILL TELLS HIM TO STOP WHILE TEARS ARE GOING DOWN HIS FACE

- a “seven husbands of evelyn hugo” thing with anna x ariadne and thomas x alistair (credit to my good friend wiz/nisha for saying this) maybe cassie is going to have thomas marry ariadne and anna marry alistair so that they could have a good old switcheroo, so they can swap lovers?? obviously it cant be anna and thomas lmao theyre cousins but thomas and ARIADNE…

- matthew and cordelia ARE going to kiss at one point HOL’ UP I DONT SHIP EM, i think its gonna be a climon kinda thing where they kiss and dont like it as much as they thought they would, and end up deciding to stay friends i think thats the best way cassie could deal with matthews crush on her without breaking anyones heart, i hope to god it wont be like him confessing and her rejecting him plz oml

My Anime 9/10′s

With probably no spoilers cuz I don’t wanna talk too long about them zzz.

1. Fullmetal Alchemist

YALL ALREADY KNOW THIS A 9/10. The only real reason this show is not a 10/10 is because it’s just a story that I’d never rewatch. There’s like 70 episodes, which is way too long for my short attention span, especially since I’ve seen it already. But yeah, by all accounts, this story is a masterpiece and is one of the only “shounen” anime’s that I genuinely enjoyed. No random sexualization. No dumb filler. All the characters have an actual purpose and role in the plot and everyone has their own morals and ideals that interact to make the story interesting. I couldn’t bring myself to really hate anyone, even the villains, because everyone was pretty well written. Also super satisfying ending that ties up everything properly without leaving me confused or upset. If you only watch a few anime in your life, Fullmetal Alchemist is pretty much a MUST WATCH to see a beautiful example of a modern classic anime as an artform. Also I should say that I really don’t like Hunter x Hunter (AN EXTREMELY CONTROVERSIAL OPINION BTW) but I love Fullmetal Alchemist so take from that what you will.

2. Parasyte: The Maxim

Same kinda shit where you already know this a 9/10 for me. It’s just a very satisfying anime that doesn’t have random sexualization or random filler or anything like that. Ending is also very good and ties up the story in a way that doesn’t leave more questions but also allows the characters to have a “life” outside of the scope of the story. I think Parasyte, because of its more horror and psychological-esque vibes, counts as a seinen and not a shounen, so for more mature audiences. I also really liked how the story was successfully adapted to modern times since the manga is from the 80′s. I have actually rewatched this anime, but what stops me from giving it a 10/10 is a few things that I found kinda “stereotypical” that I don’t wanna discuss further too much cuz it’s spoilers. I still obviously really like this anime and highly recommend it.

3. Zankyou no Terror

TBH, this anime is pretty hard for me to properly describe in a lot of words as to why I like it. The art was really pretty as well as the music, which was just straight up amazing. The cinematography of this anime is excellent as well, and a lot of scenes have that sense of being acted out by real people, as opposed to feeling completely drawn/animated. I was a teenager when this anime came out and I think a lot of the themes presented in the show really related to me. The show does kinda have some leftover questions when it ends that prevents me from rating it a 10/10, but I have such a soft spot for this anime. It’s from the same creator as Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop, and although those two animes are also very good, they did not impact me as much as this anime did. Recommended for people looking for idk something that gives off Inception vibes?? In the sense that it’s much more about its themes and its message more so than the believability of the events that occur.

4. Magic Kaito 1412

THIS IS JUST A PERSONAL PREFERENCE BTW LOLOL I DON’T KNOW ANYBODY WHO’D PUT THIS AS A 9/10 ANIME. I JUST REALLY LIKED IT OKAY. It’s made by the same person who does Detective Conan but I like this a lot more because it’s a much shorter series and slightly more mature (more for teens than just straight up kids). I really liked the main guy, I think he’s funny and charismatic. He’s a pervert at times but Imma forgive that cuz of the 90′s. Idk it’s just a really fun anime that I don’t have to take seriously and can just watch and enjoy.

5. Mob Psycho 100 (season 1 AND 2)

Imma put season two as slightly better than season one. So season one would be like a 9 and season two is like a 9.25 for me. Super super funny anime and I like it SO much more than One Punch Man. I liked that there was a good balance of serious moments, but you can definitely still count this anime as a comedy. I’m typically not the type to watch “comedy” but this anime genuinely had me laughing out loud, while also crying and freaking out right alongside the main character. The main guy is super great because he’s just this shy and sweet middle schooler, and it’s really interesting watching him balance trynna have a normal life while also using his powers for good and such. Apparently the anime was decently faithful to the manga and there’s apparently enough material for a third season so I’d be pretty stoked for a season 3, but season 2 ended on a pretty good spot and was satisfying. TBH, if I had the time, I’d probably rewatch both seasons and bump it up to a 10/10.

6. Vinland Saga

This anime is just the first season of what I hopes to be a whole series that will be stay beautifully and faithfully adapted from the manga. As someone who read very far into the manga (but quit like years ago simply because I hate slow updates lol), I actually didn’t enjoy watching the anime at first. I was impatient and kept waiting for when like the “major” events would happen. So I watched like three episodes and quit. But when I had some free time, I decided to get stuck in and commit to watching the whole series and I was so pleasantly surprised with just how good it was. I was impatient but I needed to realize that there is no “filler” or like “wasted time” in the entire anime. I hadn’t read the manga in years, so so many things were only vaguely familiar but I think this helped me stay surprised and excited throughout the anime. I’m looking forward to the rest of the manga being adapted because it’s just a good Viking saga lolol. Major themes of stuff like growing up, violence vs. peace, what it means to be a good person, etc. Lots of blood and LOTS of violence like a LOT they are VIKINGS CMON but tbh not really any gore which I liked cuz gore makes me ughhhh. A very good watch and only a taste of an excellent story.

7. Demon Slayer

It’s just Demon Slayer duhhh. Of course this a 9/10 for me. I don’t wanna write much just cuz the show is so popular. Just read a REAL review of this anime somewhere else lmaoooo. Also yes I did watch the movie in theaters and yes I liked it a lot as well mmkay. I’m mad hype for season two. My S/O doesn’t like Demon Slayer as much as me, but also has Hunter x Hunter as their all time favorite anime. Do with that information what you will lolol.

8. Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2

Same shit as Demon Slayer. Just go read someone else’s review about why it’s so good lol. Also, unlike Mob Psycho 100, I can’t include all of the seasons in this, because I have very various opinions about how good/bad the other seasons were. But this season 3 part 2, was just plain and simply amazing. While I might not like each season equally, as a whole Attack on Titan is also a modern masterpiece of storytelling. Read the manga if you can.

9. Great Pretender

I love this anime so much. Such a good and fun wild ride. The whole show is ridiculous but in a fun way. I’m a HUGE fan of heist films, so of course I absolutely enjoyed a heist anime. I’ve watched this show in sub AND dub, due to the fact that everyone is “technically” speaking English the entire time. If you’re a purist, just watch in sub OR dub cuz I did get confused here and there, especially when I would go back to compare language discrepancies. Because basically I did this super high maintenance thing where I switched back to Japanese whenever the main character had flashbacks, since he’s ya know, Japanese. The dub also has this confusing thing where the first five minutes or so are still in Japanese, but switches to English when a little cue card on the screen goes “For the Viewers sake, everything from now on will be translated to Japanese.” It’s cuz in the sub, the inverse obviously happens where the characters are initially speaking broken English to each other, but for convenience sake, everything from that point on will be in Japanese. It’s confusing at first but I liked it cuz it just proved the whole international vibe of the show. It’s funny either sub or dub when they joke about how bad the main guy speaks English, cuz in the dub he’s speaking perfect English, while the sub has him not speaking English at all. But anyway, great anime that WOULD have gotten a 10/10 if not for the last episode. Like without spoiling ... WTF WAS THAT LMAOOOO. The anime as a whole is super wacky and zany but at least I could try to think it’s real life, but that last episode was just so unbelievable and bizarre and pulled my suspension of disbelief into the STRATOSPHERE that I just had to convince myself that this show takes place in some improbable alternate reality where something like what happened in the last episode is at least 5 percent possible CUZ HOW DID ANY OF THAT WORK LMAOOO??? Once again, great show, one of my absolute favorites, BUT THAT ENDING THOUGH WTF.

10. BNA

Good super underrated anime that I don’t hear people talk about at all. If Beastars is anime Zootopia, then BNA is Disney Beastars lmaooo does that make sense? It’s a lot more fun and zany than Beastars and I liked it way more. Made by the same people who made Kill la Kill. I really like that more classic, animated “cheap” art style that the anime has, and I also really liked the plot of the story. Not a 10/10 cuz the show does leave a few unanswered questions at the end of it, but this show was such a fun and interesting ride. When I finished the last episode, I was left with a big smile on my face because I just genuinely enjoyed this anime. Recommended if you wanna watch something a little unique and more on the silly and wack side. Talks about some serious stuff, but luckily the show never takes itself TOO seriously, and remains overall lighthearted for a fun action/sci-fi show.

Eat The Damn Cheese Stick

Pairing: Poe Dameron x Reader

Summary: Mix of the soulmate AUs where you have the first thing your soulmate says to you on your arm and the one where your greatest fear is what your soulmate had a near death experience with.

Word Count: 1759

Warnings: language

Masterlist

Poe hated third wheeling with Finn and Rey. He hated doing it and having an awkward blind date, set up by Finn, even more. Sure Finn just wanted him to be happy but Poe, and he had told Finn time and time again, was perfectly happy dating (and sleeping) around by himself. And ya he wanted to find his soulmate and whatnot. He wanted to be happy with someone the way Finn was happy with Rey but, he wanted to find them on his terms not on a blind date set up by his best friend. He got really good at sniffing out a set up and giving any excuse to not hang out. But this time was different, Finn had managed to sneak it past him.

He didn’t even realise it until Rey came out of nowhere and joined them in the diner. Finn had invited him out to see some new horror movie and they decided to eat beforehand. It was only going to be the two of them so he didn’t think anything of it since Rey was always there so the date wasn’t ever too awkward, even though it almost always was. But when Rey showed up and sat down next to Finn at the table the veil lifted and Poe could see what this really was.

“No, no way Finn I’m leaving.”

“Poe, cmon just, please. I didn’t even pick this girl, Rey did.This was all her idea.” At this Poe shoots a glare at the girl next to his friend.

“You’ve betrayed me.” He can’t help but to joke with her. Rey always had told Poe how she didn’t agree with what Finn was doing and how she’d try to get him to stop.

“Look I know this goes against my beliefs with this but, I think you’ll really like her at least enough to be her friend. Good lord she needs friends.” Rey mumbles the last part more to herself than anything else. “After this I promise Finn’s done with blind dates and you’re on your own with finding love.”

“This is the last one?” Rey nods and Poe looks over to Finn for reassurance.

“This is the last one.”

“Fine, I’ll stay. Where is she?”

“She should be on her way. Did you guys order anything?”

“Just appetizers, tell me about her.” He hated going into these things without any info about the girl. That’s a main reason as to why he hated blind dates so much, it could be a kind of girl that he hates almost immediately and he’d have to spend the whole date with her.

“All I’ll tell you is that she can be a bit much sometimes to handle. So with that being said here she comes.” A bit much to handle? What did that mean, what was Rey getting him into?

The appetizers arrive as Rey stands to catch the excited girl in her arms and the server blocks Poe’s view. He can hear the silvery voice greet the two of his friends. The server moves and Poe can finally see the short curvy girl that stands next to his taller, thinner friend. His gaze lands on her fishnet clad thighs a second longer than they should have and he has to look away before his mind starts to wonder.

“Y/n, this is Poe. Poe, Y/n.” The minute you hear that you stop smiling and look at the man in front of Finn. Meeting new people wasn't your cup of tea and Rey knew that. Why would she invite someone and not tell you? The man is attractive you’d give him that, you were a sucker for black curls. He definitely would’ve been a go to man if you were at a bar and looking for a hookup. “I think the two of you could really hit it off.” Oh so this was her trying to set you up on a date. Rey takes her seat next to Finn again and you go to sit down next to Poe, just now seeing the food on the table.

“Oh, mozzarella sticks!” Finn smiles at you and pushes them towards you while pulling the pretzels towards himself and Rey.

“Woah buddy, I thought I was getting the pretzels. You know I can’t eat these.”

Upon seeing the confusion on your face Rey speaks in a hushed tone to you. “Poe’s afraid of cheese sticks, that’s the fear his soulmate gave him though.”

“Don’t you go telling people my business. What are you doing?” You reach towards him holding one of the sticks in your hand for Poe to take.

“Don’t be a pussy, eat the damn cheese stick.” Poe knows those words, it’s like he’s heard them before. The tingle he feels on his arm reminds him of the words that are etched on his skin. Once the realization hits him, his eyes light up and he can’t stop beaming at you. “What, why are you looking at me like that?”

Poe wants this first line to you to be something witty, something that sounds cool. But when he looks into your Y/E/C eyes he swears he can see galaxies and his mind stops working. And because of that he says, “Helicopter crash!” Your eyebrows scrunch together in confusion and Poe wants to slap himself. “I almost died in a helicopter crash.” Your arm tingles a bit and you roll up the sleeve of your leather jacket in order to scratch at it as if it was an itch. Upon looking at your arm you see the words there that you had momentarily forgotten about, Helicopter crash. Well there’s that fear of flying you had to overcome.

“You have to be fucking kidding me, there’s no way.”

“What’s going on?” Finn and Rey were sharing looks of confusion with each other since Poe’s odd reaction to being called a pussy, normally he would try to fight anyone who dared to call him one.

Rey gasps as Poe takes off his iconic tan leather jacket to reveal the words on his arm for you to see, Don’t be a pussy, eat the damn cheese stick. “They’re soulmates, you guys are soulmates. I knew you two would get along!”

“How did you almost die from a cheese stick?” Poe leans on his arm towards you and you swallow before answering.

“I was young and you know how kids are they don’t always chew completely. Well, I was just eating one and I must not have chewed through the cheese completely because when I swallowed, all of the cheese just goes to the back of my throat while still being connected to the breading. So I was sitting there choking and tada I almost died. When’s the movie?” The question is directed towards Rey as you try to get the spotlight off of you and the situation you’re in.

“It starts in about thirty minutes. Y/n, are you okay?” Rey can see the panic beginning to rise in your eyes.

“Yeah, yeah I’m fine. I, uh, I’m just gonna go get my ticket and grab us seats. I’ll see you guys in there.” With that you stand up and walk away quickly.

Poe can’t help but to feel rejected, you didn’t seem very excited to have found him. In fact, you seemed upset and he couldn’t figure out why. He sits there in stunned silence for a while before turning to his friends. “Guys I think I might just go home. I’m not really feeling a movie any more.”

“Poe, don’t let her reaction affect you. I know her and I know that if you just give her a bit she'll be jumping with joy.”

“Ya c’mon buddy it’s not like you to skip out on things because of some girl.”

“I appreciate you trying to help, but this isn’t just any girl.” And with that Poe grabs his jacket and walks away with his head down. On his way to his car that he parked at the theater, someone bumps into him.

“Shit, sorry I wasn’t looking at where I was going.” Poe looks down at you and his eyes widen, shocked to see you heading back to the diner. “Oh, Poe! I was just uh, coming to apologize to you.” You put your head down not able to look him in the eyes for that confession.

“Why?”

“I’m not exactly good at being put on the spot with things or with dealing with things, like soulmates for example, being thrown at me from nowhere. So if I came across as cold or unexcited about meeting you and everything I’m sorry. And before you say anything,” You step closer to him and poke your finger into his chest. Poe can’t help but find the sight adorable as you try to be intimidating. “I’ll have you know that that’s a big deal cause I don’t apologize for things I have no reason to be sorry for.”

“Well in that case I suppose I can forgive you.” He smirks at you and you can’t stop the smile from making its way onto your face.

“Alright let’s go watch the movie.”

Rey and Finn watch as you pull him with you into the theater from the entrance to the diner. “I told you they’d be perfect for each other from the start. You should’ve just listened to me now let’s go home.”

“But I wanted to watch the movie.”

“You can let your best friend enjoy a date without you for once or you can go see the movie and be the third wheel.”

***

“What a bullshit ending! They made it a point in the first one that the doll wasn’t possessed. And the head inside was ridiculous and completely unnecessary. Why do sequels suck so much ass nowadays?” Poe has never seen someone leave a theater so fast or so angry before.

“It's just a movie Y/n. I didn’t know there was a first one until you said something about it.”

“You’ve never seen the first one?” You stop in your tracks and turn slowly towards the man behind you. He only shakes his head and that’s all you need to make a last minute decision. “Okay, then you can take me home and you’re gonna watch it.”

“Wait, what?” You’re already pulling him into the parking lot for him to take you to his car. “Didn’t you drive here?”

“Nah I bussed, gotta keep the air clean y'know? Now which one is you?”

the one with the stagehand // m.k.l

mark lee x reader // theatre au // 1.4k // masterlist

summary; in which mark really wants to impress y/n but singing is not the way to go apparently

warnings; nope this is a Pure piece // no real plot

requested; nope but I havent posted in ages so :// here

notes; sorry for not posting in forever !! but here is my third mark post of the night so hopefully y'all will forgive me

mark has been talking about auditioning for the next production for a while

it may or may not be because you are the director’s assistant

the dreamies laugh but still encourage him to go for it, sure he’ll fail and/or embarrass himself

and that would be fucking hilarious

so mark goes and picks up a script from the actual director and practices in their dorm at all times of the day

after hearing the script three times, hyuck starts quoting it, and has learnt more than mark

hyuck starts teasing mark that he’ll go against him for the lead

after standing on the kitchen table in the middle of the living room and belting the lyrics to the audition song to everyone at breakfast (and surprisingly getting a lot of compliments for it), hyuck decides to audition

tensions run high as both hyuck and mark start practicing

to spite mark, hyuck asks you to run lines with him

mark retalliates by telling the director that hyuck wants to be the love interest instead of the lead

(jisung asks you if he can join the stage crew - of course, you said yes)

chenle asks shortly after

you think its really sweet that they want to support the theatre students but really theyre both there to see jaemin and mark crash and burn during auditions

on audition day, both mark and hyuck audition for the lead role

they havent spoken in a week

(markhyuck summer fight of 2017 y'all)

you sit with the director and judge them

you smile when hyuck walks on stage, knowing how hard he’s worked

mark is kinda really annoyed, scowling as he watches hyuck “butcher” the audition song

ur really surprised when mark rocks up on stage

because ”im really more of a rapper dude cmon”

but nonetheless he did

and you were ????? shocked??? he was Great

but when he saw ur face

he had the most SMUG grin

and u were instantly like >_>>>>

anyways

once auditions were over

they both stomp out of the theatre, refusing to speak

the cast list is posted two days later, and they both race to find out who got the role. both of them physically deflate when they see the name.

JENO?!

they’RE BOTH Y E L L I N G

loud bois

jeno walks down the hall calmly, just checking if he actually got the role

he’s very startled when he sees he’s got the lead

mark and hyuck demand answers, and finally speak to one another again (that is before mark points out hyuck got the lead as jeno’s love interest)

hyuck is s p u t t e r i n g

“I didn’t even audition for that role!!!”

he’s very confused, before he sees that mark’s name isn’t even on the list

smugly, hyuck points this out

sticking his tongue out at mark

until jeno’s like

yo wait mark’s name is here

mark’s name is flagged as “lighting and tech, to report to y/n l/n”

mark is honestly more rapt with that than he would have been if he’d been given the lead

during practices, mark mucks around with the lights, mostly on purpose, partly because he has no idea what he’s doing, just so you have to go over the lights with him AGAIN

chenle is mostly unseen during rehearsals, but he is heard because he keeps dropping props and bumping into sets

they all hear jeno’s voice for the first time, and realise he was probably a better lead than both mark or hyuck

though hyuck is adamant it should've been him

“the director just has it out for me I swear!!! he didnt like me at all last year”

“no one did” - renjun, 2k19

you hang out in the lighting box most of the time, because that’s the only place kun can’t find you and ask you a million more questions about his sets and costumes

mark loves it, he jokes and makes you laugh, until he misses his queue for a light or something and you dont talk to him for half an hour so he can focus

hyuck, at first, refuses to play the love interest the way its written, swaggering around the stage and saying things like “this is ridiculous” after all of his lines

after a few practices, he gets really into it, and doesnt even need his script, he’s spent most of his afternoons memorising all of his lines and stage directions

one practice, mark is not needed with the lights, because they’re just doing a props and set run-through with the full cast, so you ask if you can practice some of the makeup on him

mark, of course, says yes.

you blabber on about running the production, and how the director does LITERALLY NOTHING since the auditions, and just sits there while you do everything else

and how the hair and makeup girls were absent and barely ever showed up, and how you had to practically beg Jaemin to help out on the night (the agreement was; he wouldn’t have to attend any rehearsals other than the dress rehearsal, and of course, the nights of the performance)

as he doesnt have a lot of experience with makeup, youve given him the easy tasks

but it still means you have to learn how to do stage makeup

all mark can think about is how close you are to him

after a pause, you, as if for the first time, notice how sharp his jawline actually is

and for a while, thats all you can think about

“thinking about me?” mark does one of those little half-smiles that bothered you (but you totally still thought it was kind of cute)

“always” you rolled your eyes, your tone dripping sarcasm

you stepped back, biting the inside of you cheek to stop a smile creeping up on your face

“I think I’m done.”

“finally” mark lets his head roll back against the edge of the chair, messing up his hair, and then stands up to grab the mirror

at this point, you let out a laugh, and mark furiously turns around “YOU TURNED ME INTO A FISH?!”

you grin, “a very CUTE fish, you’re Flounder!”

you're very proud of yourself; the fact that mark could even tell he was a fish was a good sign

“WE’RE NOT EVEN DOING THE LITTLE MERMAID!” he starts to rub furiously at his face, trying to get the makeup off, but ends up looking like he’s just been beaten in a fist fight

you can barely contain your laughter, “aw come on, that took ages!!”

later that week, after a six hour rehearsal, the director asks mark to change the lighting filters on the stage, even though he could have done it during the rehearsal

but I mean its okay I guess bc he has to stay back

and

you're staying back too

so like

;)))))

hyuck and jeno are laughing about the kissing scene next week, it hasn’t quite dawned on them that THEYRE actually the ones kissing

Jisung is frantically trying to find the lighting filters, even though he already gave them to mark, and then leaves after being told by you that he was stressing you out

in the lighting and sound booth, you’re going through the script again, marking areas the cast needs to go over and adding stage directions

you hums the duet that hyuck and jeno had been singing earlier as you do it

mark, who is balancing on a ladder on the stage, trying to fit the new filters onto the lights, nearly jumps out of his skin as he hears the humming come through the speakers around the theatre, the microphone in the booth catching every note of your singing

he smiles but continues changing the light filters, not being able to stop himself from singing the other part of the duet

soon, he’s screaming the lyrics as loud as he can to try and drown out some of your off key humming

you’re laughing in the booth as he screws up his face, his glasses balancing on the tip of his nose as he tries to block his ears with one hand and adjust the stage lights with the other

“now I can see why you’re on stage crew” you smirk, leaning down to talk through the mic, “you’re a terrible singer”

“a terrible singer, maybe, but even I can detect how off key your humming was” he yells back, sticking his tongue out and momentarily losing his balance on the ladder

some caos part 2 thoughts/opinions

Keep in mind that I binged all of part 2 in 2 evenings so I may misremember or straight up forget certain things. Obvious spoilers ahead!

- in the first episode I thought Ambrose felt way out of character to the point that it took me a couple episodes to regain my trust/fondness of him. Part 1 Ambrose would have backed Sabrina immediately as top boy, and the standby-ness of support/reaction to all thing related to the Judas-crews' shenanigans made it a bit difficult to ascertain his stance on things. Luckily that got corrected a couple episodes in.

- Theo Putnams arc of coming out regarding his identity is amazing. I can't, as a cis woman, say it's perfect as I've never experienced what it's like to be trans, but from what I've seen on Tumblr through the years they seem to be nailing it, and I'm glad the show is going full on out with it, both with telling us who he is and how he feels.

- that being said, yay that the bully eventually apologized but I don't think I'd have been nearly as forgiving as Theo. Redemption is a wonderful thing but imo he doesn't deserve it after how he's treated Theo throughout the years.

- still overall getting creeped out that Sabrina is 16!!!!!!! and dating Nicholas who's attended the Lupercalia at least twice, making him A MINIMUM of 18. Combined with how witches age super slowly and Nick looks to be mid 20s AT LEAST it screams all kinds of massive age difference to me and I am not about it. I love Nicholas, I love Sabrina, I respect that he's never pressured her, but it is at the very least a huge gap in emotional maturity and I'd honestly just feel better if Sabrina could date a person that looks and is her actual age (or nobody, really) . Like even Harvey irked me in part 1 as the actor looks so much older than Kiernan, despite the fact that their characters were the same age.

- the Amalia thing was weird and sudden and I don't think I still really understand how she and Nick's relationship worked? It felt very filler episode-y

- I thought the timing and pacing was a bit off this season. Some things got a lot of time that needed less time, some things that needed more time got less. I would for instance have liked to have more backstory on the angels before they swooped in from one day to the next with hardly any explanation. Who were they? Where did they come from? How did they find any witches (like what was Luke doing that led to them finding him)? Why were there only 3 of them? Why did they strike now? Etc.

I also would have liked to see more backstory on Lilith/Lucifers relationship. It felt very much like it took her 5 minutes of another mans attention to sway her from the dark lords' side. What made this Adam dude so special? She's been alive for millenia so why did she get vulnerable now? Why did her part 1 affections for Satan fade so extremely fast in season 2, instead of being a gradual thing? Also I would have liked to see more of Lucifers descent from falling from heaven to being a batshit insane goat instead of just seeing a brief bit of decaying into goat form.

- Despite my irks of Nick/Sabrina and in general it feeling like both Sabrina and Harvey got over each other quickly, they still felt more natural to me than Roz/Harvey. It felt out of place and forced, and I honestly thought if anyone was going to date, it was Theo and Roz. They had much better chemistry all through part 1 AND 2 and seem very supportive of each other. That said, Theo bailing or being awkward whenever Roz and Harvey kiss was very relatable to when you're the third wheel.

- also can we stop with the people speaking in unison so damn much? Every single time it happens it brings me out of it, breaks the immersion and seems super awkward. The weird sisters, the tribunal etc, it just makes me wonder how long it took for the actors to nail it and it seems forced and weird - and not in the good way.

- it also felt like Sabrina-throw-caution-to-the-wind-Spellman should have learned her lesson a bit regarding throwing magic around all willy-nilly. She knows magic has a cost, and even despite this Dark Jesus magic being new and different, she seemed like she should and would have been more cautious regarding balance.

That said I also never liked the plot points where someone unlocks a new, previously unknown and unexplored kind of magic and just immediately know how it works and how to use it. In this case this is both in regards to Sabrina Dark Jesus-ing, and Roz suddenly sharing her cunning vision with Harvey.

- I know Dorian Gray turned out to be a treacherous little rat but his story has always fascinated me and I kinda love him.

- on that note however, less misogyny next season please. I know it was to say This Is Bad but it felt like they knocked it over our heads too much and I could use less of it.

- was nobody supposed to notice that Feisty Zelda Spellman turned into a 50s housewife? Especially since clearly people know about the Caligula-calamari magic being a thing?

- also, more badass, smart Hilda please. And good on her for spidering old Methuselah to death, creepy bastard. Next up, Father Blackwood!

- also Prudence Night (Blackwood technically but ick) is still the queen of my heart and I'd let her step on me

- also Roz going blind and immediately blaming Sabrina ALSO felt out of character. She was so supportive! I understand needing someone to blame and push anger on to, but it just seemed too much like something Harvey would have done and not Roz. She already knew in her heart that Sabrina wasn't evil, and she's too kind to blame her like that. Good thing Theo could talk some sense into them.

- the overall perversion of the miracles thing was cool but if you're literally reading a text that explicitly tells you what NOT TO DO in order to open the gates of hell and bring Lucifer back to earth, WHY WOULD YOU NOT READ ALL OF IT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!?! This is peticularly in regards to the mandrake/golem solution they were cooking up. Like, cmon, that just felt like a plot hole more than anything else. You had the damn book right in front of you, guys.

- the musical scene was fucking awkward

- human Lucifer is hot

- also am I expected to believe the granddaddy of Lies just believed that Sabrina, the day after they stabbed him, had turned complacent? Please. He's too old and too smart and would have kept an eye on the crowd and not let his guard down like that. Plus he conveniently told them his only vulnerability in case they need it for another season.

I'll add more as I think of it, assuming it doesn't eat my post again, but until then, hail Lilith.

Chesca and JC

Ako si Cheska ramos, 19 years old at nursing student sa feu. Isa lang ako hamak na probinsyana at scholar sa feu. Actually kaya naman talaga namin magbayad ng buong tuition fee kaso mas pinili ko nalang ang scholar. Kaya ko naman at almost 4years nako dito sa manila. Halos kabisado ko na nga eh. Sa buong taon ko sa manila, dito rin nagsimula ang life ko.

It was first week of june nung nangyari ang kakaiba buhay ko. Masasara na sana ang elevator ng may pumasok na binata. Wow, ang strong nya ah. Infairnes ang gwapo niya, ang singkitin ng mata niya halos guhit na iyon, mas matangkad yon kesa sakin siguro mga nasa 5'11 siya at maputi ito. Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya hanggat makapasok. Napatingin ako sa uniform niya at sa id nya. Feu-in ang nasa patch nya. Pareho pala kami ng institute. Ay hayaan na nga, nagsalpak na lang ako ng headset at sumandal sa elevator. Sa buong byahe ng elevator, wala man pumapasok. Kaya hanggang makarating sa baba, kami pa rin magkasama. Ako ang nauna lumabas at hindi na yon nakita. Nilakad ko lang ang condo to feu, since ilang lakad lang naman.

Nasa gitna ng pagtuturo yung prof namin ng may pumasok na lalaki. Teka, yun yung elevator guy ah. "yes, is this your room mister?" "in110. Math 101 jay dominguez?" "alright come in. Next time, i dont want late comers again uh? Lemme see your cor" he just nodded then give his cor then kinuha ulit tas punta sana siya towards my direction. Is it just me or nagkatingingan kami nung pagpasok niya at pupunta sana siya. May empty seat kasi sa tabi ko kaya siguro dito siya. "iho, let yourself introduce in class first. Beside, they already introduce themselves earlier. Just say your name, why did you choose nursing course, the school you just attended in highschool and your hobbies and interests" "ahh john carlos garcia, jc for short, i choose nursing because this is just the course i just passed, i attended ateneo highschool and i like basketball and books. Now, can i sit?" "ok... So blah blah blah" umupo siya sa tabi ko. Tumingin ako sa kanya nung umupo hanggat inayos niya gamit niya. Taray ah, ang ayos nitong mokong natoh. Kinuha niya lang ang binder at pen niya at naghalumbaba. Napatingin siya sakin, siguro naconcious kasi may tumitingin sa kanya. "ah, baket?" natauhan ako ng lingunin at tanungin ako. Napa-iling nalang ako at tumingin sa harapan. Nakinig na lang ako. Natapos na ang 3 conservative subjects. Vacant ko pero almost 3hours iyon. Ugh! Makauwi nga muna sa condo, since ang lapit lapit lang. Ganito kasi sched ko, 7:30-9:20 math, 9:20-10:20 humanities 10:20-12:00 psych. 3 ang susunod kong class at pe iyon.

Naglalakad at naghahanap ng kanta sa phone ako papunta labas sa may recto, may nabangga ako. "ay sorry ate.... Uy classmate!" napatingin ako sa kanya at oo nga, he's the elevator guy ulit. Huwaw third time na toh. Sabagay, kablock ko ata toh kaya its definetly lagi ko toh nakakikita. "ahhh ok lang yon. Hahah ahhh.... S-sige aalis nako hehe l" thats akward... Wait, bakit akward?! "ahh ate... Jc pala and you are?" napatingin lang ako sa kamay nya nakalahad at nakangiti. Jusko kuya, ancute cute ng smile mo. Guhit nalang yung mata mo! Hihi... Sa una nalilito ako tas onti onti natatauhan... "ahhhh i know you. Kakaintroduce mo lang kanina by the way i'm cheska ramos!" mula noon, magkaibigan na kami. Halos lahat na ng buhay namin ay alam namin isat isa. Actually kakashift lang niya mula ateneo na course ay polsci. Nagshift siya sa nursing kasi yon talaga passion niya. So mas matanda siya sakin ng isang taon. Since magkablock naman kami, sabay kami lagi umuwi at pumasok. Hanggang maging 3rdyear kami ngayon. Pero ngayon 3rd year, bigla nagbago ang ihip ng hangin. Mas naging cold siya sakin at minsan lang kami magsabay, minsan magkasabay sana kmi pero mas pinili niya magisa muna. Namiss ko siya ng sobra. Oo aaminin ko, nafall ako sa kanya almost 3 years. Namimiss ko na pag ngiti niya nawawaln siya ng mata, mga jokes niya at ang tawa niya. Minsan pa nga, sinasama pa niya ako sa barkada nia. Grabe nakakatuwa sila. I think mga 11 ata sila. Grabe solid!! Sana may ganon din ako mga group of friends. So anyway, nandito ako sa coffeeshop sa tabi ng condo ko, nagaaral para sa nalalapit na midterms. Scholar pa rin ako at pag nakumpleto yon hanggang paggrad ko, magiging summa cum laude ako, kaya ito nagaaral mabuti para wala bagsak. Nung napagod nako sa kakaaral, i drink my latte first then nistretch ang aking kamay at nirub ang eyes ko. As i rubbed my eyes, i saw a guy and a girl entered in the coffeeshop. May bell kasi door kaya every time may pumapasok, may windshield para alam kung may pumapasok or wala. Pinagmasdan ko yung dalawa kakapasok at pumunta sa cashier. I know that guy. Its... Jc. May kasama siyang babae na hanggang dibdib lang niya at nagholding hands pa sila. Hindi ko alam gagawin ko, para akong nadudurog paonti onti. Gusto ko umiyak sa nakkita ko. Oo, its really him. Ang kanyang ngiti, mata at ang boses niya. "ano gusto mo gabby?" "latte lang. Sige hanap lang ako ng mauupuan natin" tas naghanap na siya. Oh cmon, bat sa harap ko pa. Pero buti na lang, umupo siya sa harap ko. So bali, nakatalikod sakin si jc. Hindi niya siguro ako makikita nasasaktan patailkod. Kaya ba cold siya sakin kasi may girlfriend na siya? Tinignan ko ng pasimple yung girl na iyon. Taga-ust since nasa larnyard na niya. Siguro engineering student siya dahil sa uniform. Mas maganda siya sakin, singkitin din ang mata pag ngumingiti, hanggang lagpas balikat ang kanyang buhok at ang cute ng boses i just snapped out of it. Why cheska! Di naman kayo bakit sobra affected mo?! Sobra mo na ba siya minahal kaya siguro ang lakas ng impact ng selos mo sa kanila? Ugh... Kaya ito, tinuon ko nalang sa pagaaral ang ginawa ko. 30 secs has passed, dumating na si jc kasam order nila at umupo. Hindi ako mapakali tignan nila. Nagtatawanan at naguusap sila. Nasasaktan ako. Ako dapat nandyan, ako dapat nillibre pero wala... Hayy kaya nagsalpak nalang ako ng headset at pinagtuloy ang pagaaral. Ilan minuto rin ako nagaral at has decided na umuwi nalang sa condo. Since medyo napatagal na ako sa coffee shop. Kaya ayun, niligpit ko na yung mga notes ko at tumayo na. Bago ako lumabas, luminga linga muna ako sa shop at nung napatingin ako kay jc, nagkatingingan kami. Nagkatingingan lang kami hanggat patulo na luha ko, lumabas ako agad at dumerecho na sa elevator. Hindi ko na nakita ko ano na ginwa nila. Basta ako, iyak ng iyak sa elevator. Ano ba karapatan ko para magselos... Hindi kami, hindi naman kami mu. We're just friends! Oo, friends lang kami pero grabe ang selos ko. Hayy ayaw ko na....

4th year 2nd sem, ilang araw nalang at gagrad na ako. Magkakatrabaho na ako. Nago-ojt din ako and has part time sa coffee shop. Walang, para lang may extra allowance. Malaki laki ang allowance ko since wala naman binabayaran. I am running for magna cumlaude in nursing. Nagbabasa ako sa condo ng may kumatok. "ahh... Miss francheska elisse ramos?" as i opened the door, may bellboy with some small box na bumungad and asking my name "ah.. Ako nga po yon. Why?" "ah.. May nagpapabigay lang po" tas binigay sakin yung kahon na shoebox. Ngek, bakit nike shoebox pa. Pero cute naman. I just thanked him then binigyan ko ng tip then umalis na siya. Pagkaalis niya, i closed the door and walked through my bed and open the box.. "hi cheska... I know we've been close for how many years and i've been acting coldly to you this few years. Sorry kung hindi na kita napapansin. Oo nga pala, binigay ko ito para may aaminin. But i just decided to admit pagkagrad natin. After the grad ceremony, go to the ias rooftop building.... Another thing, these are my gifts to your 18th birthday, christmas gift and thank you gift for being my best friend for almost 3years... I hope that as we meet again, you forgive me and.... " teka... Bakit bitin... And??? Tinignan ko yung laman ng box... All of my favorites food, chocolates and a teddy bear that i've been badly want. Wait... Parang nakikilala ko ito. Marami kasi ako kaibigan sa feu at most of ay guys. Hindi ko alam pero mas nalalapit sakin mga lalaki, pero masaya naman sila kausap. Tinago ko na lang yung box sa bedside table at nagpatuloy magaral.

Ff* "congratulations cheska!" "oy nurse cheska! Woooh magna cumlaude!" "cheska yan eh. Pa-cheeseburger ka naman" nakangiti at nagtawanan lang kami mga friends kong guys pero may ilan ding babae. Nagkakaasaran at tawanan lang kami. Tapos na yung graduation and we are not a student anymore. 1 more year and mageexam pa kami. Sana maging registered nurse ako. Habang nagtatawanan at nagaasaran kami, may naalala ako. Yung guy na nagbigay sakin ng letter saying we meet at the ias rooftop building. Parang malakas ang kutob ko si jc yon pero malay ko ba. Kaya i excused myself to them and headed to the ias building. As i headed to the ias building, may naaninag akong guy nakatalikod. Likod palang niya kilala ko na. Napaiyak ako at wala sa sarili tumakbo at yumakap sa kanya. Nagulat naman siya sa ginawa ko. "c-cheska?" "jc!! *sniff sniff* n-nam-miss kita..... Why are you sudden became cold at me in this few past years. Halos mamamatay ako ng wala ka.... " wala ako sa sarili na umaamin sa kanya na namiss ko s akanya. Its true i really missed him this few past years. "c-cheska... I-i miss you too.... " humarap siya sakin and hugged me as well. Matangkad siya sakin kaya hanggang dibdib lamang ako. "sorry kung naging cold ako... Sorry kung hindi kita halos pansinin... Is just that... I was fall for you... Ayaw ko lang mafall ng tuluyan kasi best friend kita, pero it gaves me conscience to ignore you. Kaya, i decided gave you a letter saying may aamini ako.. Oo, may aaminin talaga ko... " sabi niya habang pinunasan niya luha ko at pushed me away. Nagkaharap kami at ilang inches lang pagitan namin. "a-ano yon... Teka, so ikaw yung nagbigay sakin ng letter at yung sa shoebox? Pfft" "grabe... Atleast i recycled. Sayang yung kahon noh, but anyway.. Yepp its me... I just want you to know that... I have fallen for you and madly inlove with you. Kaya siguro umiwas ako para makalimutan feelings ko sayo pero lalo lumalala. Almost 3years ako nawawalan ng sarili dahil kakaisip ko sayo. Nung 4thyear tayo, doon ko narealize na sana kinain ko pride ko at niligawan ka na non pa pero naalala ko, bawal ka rin magboyfriend kaya naghintay ako ng 1 year at nagpakamisteryoso... Sorry but i love you cheska" sabi niya sabay kiss me on my forehead. Naiiyak ako. All this time, nagmahalan pala kami ng patalikod. Pinagpapalo ko siya sa dibdib niya tas yumakap

"nakakainis ka! Pinagmiss mo ko. You dont know how much i missed you! Every day and night, every seconds, minutes and hours, lagi kita naalala and naiisip. Halos mabaliw ako kakaisip sayo... Tinutuon ko nalang sa pagaaral ang pagkakaisip ko. I tried to move on pero hndi ko magawa. Kasi ikaw a ikaw pa rin nasa isip at puso ko... And... Before you became cold, i was inlove with you. " iyak lang ako ng iyak sa piling nya. Nakayakap lang ako. "shh.. Dont cry babe... Nandito na ako. Pangako hindi na ako mawawalay sayo. Pangako, di na kita iiwan at mamahalin kita hanggat tumanda tayo.... You will be my first and last girl" napatigil ako sa iyak at napawalay sa kanya. "t-teka... S-sino yung girl taga-ust kasama mo nung sa coffeeshop? Ang sweet nyo pa non, nakaholding hands pa and.... " "hah? Ahh.. She's gabby, my cousin. And we did not hold hands like a couple. Ganon lang yon sa mga kasama niyang lalaki. She's too clingy! Kuya-kuyahan niya lang ako kasi wala siyang kuya.... Wait, nagselos ka ba non?" "ahh.. H-hindi ah... " napatingin ako sa gilid and bite my lower lip then tumingin sa kanya. "nagseselos ka eh!!! Uyyy.. Dont worry, nagselos din ako sa inyo ni mark at lester.... " si mark yung isa sa barkada ni jc, at sobra din kami close non. Si lester naman yung isa sa barkada ko sa feu, kablock ko rin. "hahahaha grabe. Parehong pareho! Hahahaha" natatawa lang ako sa destiny namin. Nagselosan kami sa close namn

Tawa lang kami nang tawa at nagkakatitigan. After namin magtawanan, hinalikan nya ko sa forehead and.... Don nagstart love story namin.

ALSO LIKE A WEEK AGO

eldritchlulz

[moire makes good on her promise in class today. nick gets an expertly-aimed airplane to the cheek within the first ten minutes of class. it's folded from stiff glossy photo-printing paper, which she bartered from the amorphous art supply guardian in exchange for a memory. then he gets another airplane to the temple. and another. and another. long months of fucking around in class have made her an expert at predicting how long professor mothman will have his back turned to the board.] lattes are for when yer not being a dick, [she tells him after class, peeling off down the hallway to physics] i’ll make ye tea though if ye manage to eat em all

TWO DAYS AGO, post sharing dragon videos

eldritchlulz

so are we friends again or nah

YESTERDAY

nickatnightwalker

i cant read this over the noises my stomach is still making as it digests photopaper

eldritchlulz

ye could have had tea

nickatnightwalker

eldritchlulz

nickatnightwalker

you would be shocked at how much i manage to retain no matter what i swallow

eldritchlulz

i guess we all have our talents

nickatnightwalker

damn straight munro

some are just more highly sought after than others

eldritchlulz

nickatnightwalker

anyone in the aviation industry duh

eldritchlulz

well don't forget who helped launch yer career when yer famous and shit

nickatnightwalker

yeah ill try not to forget the little people

eldritchlulz

nickatnightwalker

oh well obviously im talking about personality

eldritchlulz

then yer like two feet shorter

nickatnightwalker

hair doesnt count

neither does punching

eldritchlulz

luckily those aren't personality traits

nickatnightwalker

exactly

which is why youre the little people and im not

eldritchlulz

lmao all ye have in yer corner is being tiny and rude

nickatnightwalker

youd be surprised how far those two things can get you in life

eldritchlulz

good for ye

nickatnightwalker

thanks it's been an uphill battle but 18 years in im starting to get the hang of using that stuff in my favor

eldritchlulz

great

TODAY

nickatnightwalker

since youre technically millys aunt im donating a full sentence of real talk which is that i dont really fuck with public drinkers

eldritchlulz

why not enough personality for ye

ye get high all the time

nickatnightwalker

yeah, and all that happens is i chill out

eldritchlulz

is this because of the movie night?

did we do something to ye?

nickatnightwalker

no it's just not my thing ok

i dont babysit lightweights and hanging around them always turns into that anyway

eldritchlulz

lmao i mean ye didn't and no one asked ye to

nickatnightwalker

no offense but have you ever hung out with drinkers because no matter the fuck what eventually

eventually

nickatnightwalker

it's the one sober person's job to console whoever just started crying and stop the fights and driving and unprotected sex and i have plenty on my plate right now without heading down that road so i really, really prefer not hanging with people who get drunk on wine during disney movie night like you do you and shit but it's not my scene

eldritchlulz

i know yer from like

the city and shit

but here i’ve only ever drank with misha and some of the girls in proteus and it’s never been like that

i don’t know in what world ye think ye have to take care of us

eldritchlulz

i don’t want that lmao and i definitely don’t need it

nickatnightwalker

good to know but there's still that second hand embarrassment factor and the smell of rancid grapes to figure in

like i just dont like hanging with people drinking it's not that deep

eldritchlulz

good thing ye’ve never done anything embarrassing like proposition yer supposed cousin over the pa system

that’d be real fuckin awkward

whatever walker

if yer gonna ditch cus one night out of the months ye’ve been here we did something that ye didnae like that didnae even affect ye

then seriously

whatever

nickatnightwalker

lmao at least i did it fully aware of what i was doing

nickatnightwalker

like damn munro cant a guy choose his company based on personal preferences

eldritchlulz

lmao weak

i do enough embarrassing stuff sober too kill me for having a good night where i didn’t worry about shit

and ye sure can

my personal preference is hanging out with people who don’t flake without even a heads up

evens out

nickatnightwalker

it's not flaking if we never had plans like ho ly shit why is this such a big deal you wanna get shitfaced and turn your head into a fish that's your prerogative and it's mine not to stick around while it's happening i dont particularly care why you did it im sure being drunk was a blissful reprieve from your tortured thoughts or whatever and i respect that i just dont want to be there

eldritchlulz

gods ye are literally the one who made this into a big deal nick i just said whatever like three times ye dinnae have to justify yer weird hypocritical bullshit to me

no one said ye had to watch when there were a thousand other things to do and pay attention to that night but yeah ignoring a friend for weeks and not letting them know what’s up is a shitty thing to do and i was trying to like check in but it turns out the mistake was thinking that we were friends in the first place so like i said

whatever

nickatnightwalker

i was doing plenty of other things that night and i really dont get why you cant run it through your hair that i dont fuckin like hanging around drunks and forgive me for not realizing we were at the bffs for life stage and thinking it wouldnt be a big deal to drop off your proverbial sea charts

eldritchlulz

oh nice so i'm a drunk cus i had some wine that’s incredibly reasonable of ye top of the fucking class

i wasn’t saying we were bffs lmao yer supposed to be the human don’t ye have a basic concept of how human relationships work ye don’t have to be bffs to not be a total asshole

nickatnightwalker

you were drunk i dont know what gentle terminology you want me to use here like was i supposed to hand you an official notice like dear mr and mrs munro this is a letter of resignation on the basis that i dont fucking roll with public wastedness

nickatnightwalker

god i thought you were buried deeper in your hypermasculinity than getting ratty because i decided i didnt wanna hang with you your boy and a bottle of something that could strip paint off a car

eldritchlulz

the utter fuckin logical leaps yer going through to make hanging out with us about drinking constantly is amazing ye gonna mentally photoshop bottles of liquor into all the times we hung out where we weren’t drinking too

and ye can fuck off with the hypermasculinity bullshit it’s bad if i am and bad if i’m not to ye sorry i don’t fit the perfect image of rambo lmao almost like the way ye stereotype everyone isn’t the way they really are

i don’t get how i’m the fucking unreasonable one here for thinking that i’d fucked something up and wanting to fix it and instead getting a thousand word essay where ye reiterate the point that got old the second time ye said it

luckily ye can consider yerself off the hook

nickatnightwalker

if ive said it so many times then why isnt it going through

nickatnightwalker

and like damn do you think youre like picking away at my layers of carefully crafted denial to get to the real reason i dont wanna hang with you guys anymore or something like i told you it's not that deep and just because i expected you to be oozing masculinity like a frat boy's sti doesnt mean it's a good thing that usually you are

eldritchlulz

trust me i'm not under any delusion that yer deep lmao

it came through loud and clear the first time

so like i said four fucking times

whatever

yer off the hook

see ye in class

nickatnightwalker

yep, this shallow bitch'll catch you later than you overhyped blowfish

eldritchlulz

also weak

nickatnightwalker

yes, i know, your muscles schwarzenegger youll be back etc etc etc

I figured an actual classic horror monster would be a great pick this week!

How have I avoided Black Butler in this series so far? I am the derp. Clearly, it’s the perfect series to find fun ill fated characters with interesting quirks. As much as I would love to subject you all to a detailed and loving tribute of my beloved Alois Trancy, I just can’t handle the inevitable backlash in my comments. Not even for me, I don’t mind if you guys criticize me. But my poor little blonde boy has already gone through enough without your unjustified animosity (stop that, I can hear you groaning through space-time) So instead, I will keep my thoughts on best boy in my heart where they belong… That’s not where thoughts belong you say? This may explain some things…

3 guesses on who I chose

It’s completely accidental that I seem to be slowly turning this series into some sort of half throughout feminist musings. I just happen to appreciate well rounded and unusual female characters. (Or maybe they meet tragic fates more often…nah…) In any case, one again I bring you a great… powerful… interesting female character that was way ahead of her time. Baroness Angelina Dalles-Burnett.

I know a lot of the core audience of Black Butler probably didn’t pay that much attention to Angeline in the first season. This is one of those shows with a cast full of Big Personalities and it’s tough for anyone not in the main cast to stand out in any way. Even the fantastic Phantomhive servants usually get overlooked. And how is anyone suppose to get noticed when standing next to Grell. Sutcliff is a diva who sucks all the attention out of a room. Poor little Angelina never stood a chance.

And yet, this lady is an icon in her own right. First, she’s an epic cosplay:

‘Cmon! I wanna wear this to work!

Second, she’s Ciel’s only living (well…you know) relative and despite her occasionally aloof personality she cares for him deeply. In fact, we come to learn that Angelina is surprisingly selfless and devoted to her family and loved ones. She was able to put aside her own personal issues and share her sister’s happiness even as it caused her to give up her own. Regardless of jealousy, she remained loyal and loving towards those closest to her.

In fact, she openly stated that if the two people she loved most are happy, then she would be happy as well. And although she harboured feelings for Vincent for a long time, she nevertheless greatly respected and loved her husband in his own way. She was always honest with him and they were genuinely happy together. How often do you see that in an unrequited love story?

She was also witness to the destruction of the Phantomhive manor. Until Ciel’s miraculous return, she truly believed that she had lost absolutely everyone she loved in the world, including her husband and unborn child. And despite that she soldiered on and kept up her duties, for some time at least. There’s no doubt this event took a toll on her, but it didn’t destroy her as it would have many others.

see that artist’s page here

And when Ciel did reappear, she welcomed him back with open arms. Unquestioningly. She never resented that he wouldn’t share the details of his disappearance with her or had any misgivings about his suspicious new butler. She simply did the best she could to take care of a wounded little boy, asking for nothing in return.

Possibly most impressive, this lady is a licensed doctor in the 1800. I don’t think we are told when exactly her license is issued but she would probably have been one of the first women to earn that distinction. And she did so against her own parent’s wishes, which was also incredibly difficult at the time.

Are you having trouble recognizing the lady I’m describing? I assure I’m not making any of this up. Angelina Dalles-Burnett is an admirable women and worthy role model. But maybe you’re more familiar with Madame Red. Angelina’s nickname in certain circles, due to her fashion choices.

There’s an rather well known feminist theory that women can’t ever truly be considered complete people in their own right, until we allow them to be flawed. Not cutely, innocently imperfect in ways that only make them more adorable. But bad. The idea is that women are people. And people are sometimes just awful. Horrible, despicable and unlikable in every way. I’m not saying this is the case here, but man, you got to admit, Madame Red is one fantastic antagonist.

who asks for bread with pasta?

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 1 OF BLACK BUTLER***YOU HAVEN’T SEEN SEASON 1 OF BLACK BUTLER AND YOU’RE READING THIS? I’M SUPER FLATTERED, THANK YOU!

I’m just gonna cut to the chase her. Angelina Dalles, also known as Madame Red, is Jack the Ripper. I’m pretty sure you knew that. If not – BAM – I just blew your mind, right? No you’re just super confused and thinking about dropping this post? Uhm wait….

OK, so if you don’t remember, after her husband’s death, and the fall of the Phantomhives, Angelina just numbly returns to work as she really has nothing else left. In part due to her circumstances, she finds herself regularly treating prostitutes who want abortions. Due to her recent repeated personal traumas, coupled with the fact that she lost her on child and husband (making it more or less impossible for her to try to have another child), Angelina soon develops a personal hatred towards her patients. She considers it an affront towards herself and possibly God, to throw away a life and happiness simply because it is inconvenient. It may not be clear in the series, but Madame Red starts her killing spree before meeting Grell. It is her own idea.

Just as historical female doctors are uncommon, so are historical female mass murders. Usually, ladies get to be black widows, poisoning husbands. To have one independently carrying out such violent crimes of her own volition is… I actually don’t know. I don’t want to write empowering. That’s not what I mean. There’s just something weirdly gratifying about having a lady who’s a real bad guy. Not pushed into it by a third party and yet not an incomprehensible monster either. Just a fractured, flawed person who went very very bad.

those colours are beautiful (original)

Her rational makes perfect sense in context. Her actions are her own. She never repents, asks for forgiveness or even gets any justice. Her eventual demise is caused by her unwillingness to do more harm at the hands of a supposed ally, rather than her getting the punishment she deserves. This tragic irony is one of the many examples of the pitch-black humor that makes Black Butler so deliciously and cruelly amusing.

And so today, we are here to remember a woman who was simultaneously a hero and villain all on her own. A character so fascinating that for a little while at least, she even managed to capture Grell’s attention. Someone you may have forgotten about, but you really shouldn’t have! And lest not forget, a truly fantastic cosplay.

Black Butlers and Red Madams (Countdown to Halloween) I figured an actual classic horror monster would be a great pick this week! How have I avoided Black Butler in this series so far?

Second Chances

It’s was startling to see him standing there. Cara did tell me to stay right when walking to take the trash out to avoid the holes in the cement but upon seeing him leaned up against the back of the restaurant my legs shifted to the left. Like a fool, I didn’t avoid the pothole and I ended up tripping, barely catching myself. You could here him chuckle over the rumble of the ac and I wondered just how long he had been standing here. I’m guess not long since her knew. He knew I took the trash out at 8:40 and he knew I waited outside just a little longer in clear nights like these hoping to get a glimpse of a failing star. He knew I’d wish for a life not here and that’s why I couldn’t stand him. Because he knew me like the back of his hand and every child’s book his mother read to him before bed. He knew me and I hated that because I was suppose to be the misunderstood girl and I wanted to be that girl that everyone was drawn too but too scared to talk too. And I was that girl for everyone except him and that’s why I was aggravated.

“Long night?” He asked while taking a drag on his cigerate and he already knew the answer. It was Friday night so of course it was was long. He knew I was tired and he knew I was weakest when when worn out from a long day.

“Always.” I said while crossing my arms. I kept a distance and played my cool like I didn’t just trip. His smoke filled the air along with the memories we once shared. I watched the two of us dance happily as the smoke disappeared.

“Cmon, I wanna take you somewhere.” He said while pushing himself off the wall. I shook my head knowing what happened last time.

“No, not this time. I have to clean up in there. You can wait or just go.” I said while going t walk back to the front of the restaurant. He stepped in front of me, our faces closer than they had been in a while. Smoke blew out his nose as he lured his lips.

“There’s two more girls in there, don’t worry, Cara already said it was fine.” He said while breathing heavily. I looked through the windows at Cara who was carrying on a conversation with another waitress. I knew why she told me to keep right because if I were to go left I’d fall again, like last time and she didn’t mean the pothole.

“Where too? Your house? You know what that lead too-“ he cut me off which he never does unless he knows I’m wrong.

“No not there. Somewhere new.” He said while holding out his arm. I glanced inside and seen Kacey walking towards me, my wallet and phone in her hand.

“Cara said you needed these.” She said then she looked up. Her eyes meeting his and then mine and then his and then mine. She held out my items and I took them carefully.

“Fucking bullshit Mac.” She whispered under her breath before storming off. He chuckled and I walked to his truck without turning around.

“In a hurry?” He said while getting inside. I was already buckled and ready to go. I wasn’t amused. Last time I sat here he took me to his house and introduced me to the girl he claimed to love more than me. He let me see her face and examine her body as if I should take notes on who I was or wasn’t able to compete with. It was an utter mess and we hadn’t talked since but the words left unsaid were the ones I never wanted to say again despite knowing they were true. I still refuse to say them even now.

“I just want to get this over with.” I said without amusement. The fact that his eyes sparkled without a joke to laugh about bothered me. He couldn’t be serious for a second.

“Do you believe in second chances?” He asked as if this were some movie. Coldplay played in the background as we pulled out onto the highway. I shrugged while watched the buildings become smaller and disappear with distance.

“No, I think once a fuck up always a fuck up.” I said coldly. He grabbed his chest as if being physically hurt and I wished he had been. He was tornado who tore through hearts without a care in the world.

“That’s not true. Kacey fucked you over three times and you’re still friends. Your dad left and each time he shows back up you let him in. You believe in second chances. So why can’t I have one?” He said while keeping his eyes on the road. I took a deep breath, not expecting him to dive in as deep as he just did.

“You took me to your house and introduced me to a girl who you expected me to mimic in order to be yours again? Why would I give you a second chance? So you could show me another girl that I don’t look like or act like? So I can study up and become the one you want again? No fuck that copy shit. Fuck you.” I said while crossing my arms. And here we were again, fighting like we were ten months ago. Back at the beginning of the end and now I was truly terrified.

“That was a mistake! Just like when you dad left! It was a mistake and when Kacey kissed me and when she said those things about you and when she lied to you! Mistakes Mac! All of them! You give them second and third chances so why can’t I have one? What’s so different about me that I can’t have one of your gracious second chances to prove to you that I’m not that guy!” He said and by the time he got done talking we were pulled over on the side of the road. I kept my arms crossed and my eyes outside the window. Looking at anything in this truck made me sick and smelling his cologne and musk and same old damn pine scented car made it ten times worse.

“Tell me! Please! I want to understand why they get to be a part of your life after making it ten times worse and when I do it you just push me away. Mac, don’t we all deserve a second chance?”

“Yes but you don’t get it! You tore me to pieces! You showed me what I wasn’t and I died inside. I died!” I yelled while turning too him and still, I couldn’t find the remorse I wanted. It’s like he didn’t care about what happened. Like he didn’t care that I was hurt.

“So when Kacey kissed me that didn’t hurt? When you watched your dad take drugs in front of you that didn’t hurt? Did it hurt? Did it? Yes it did and I know that because I was the one right there! I was the one that you cried on. Me! Not your mom and your sister or Kacey or your dad or your teacher, me! I know you Mac! I see you. Not some facade or fake face you put on for those around you. I see you and I think that’s what scares you. That’s why I didn’t get a second chance. That’s why you pushed me away because you were afraid of being vulnerable. You were afraid of letting someone in and you were terrified to know that the person that sees straight through your mysterious girl at the back of the room bullshit was me! Tell me I’m lying! Tell me I’m wrong and that I should take you home. Tell me that and I will. But let me tell you something, if I take you home right now, you’re gonna go up to your room, stare at your phone and cry. You’re gonna look at the picture of us that Kacey took when we first met and ask yourself why we’re not back to that yet. You’re gonna cry and the you’re gonna dig out my old shirt, put it on and cry while listening to Eric Church because that was the album I put in when you got in the truck. You’re gonna fall asleep and wish that you were right back here, in my passenger seat fighting with me about some gas awful thing I did or said. And right now, I’m giving you the choice to walk away or stay work through the shit I did so we can both be better. So I’ll stop being this ass and you’ll stop critiquing my every move. Because that’s what second chances are for. Forgiveness and moving on and working things out and finding a solution to our problems. So what do you say? Wanna go home or stay here with me and fight till we both can’t breath and fall asleep to each other’s pounding hearts? Huh?”
