purposefully dumb ooc ow hcs my friends and i discussed:

🦊‼️ shimada brothers + kiriko edition

hanzo & genji do like bbq actually. genji prefers honey bbq the most though; contrary to hanzo's favored type. it's not like they constantly argue or anything but it's up to you if they reach an agreement. kiriko's a ranch type of girl fr. for chips? kiriko's sour cream n onion (not self projection).

"oh hey guys so uh haha i got some chips for us!" kiriko pipes up, accidentally walking into a provoking conversation the shimada brothers were discussing (honey bbq vs standard??). they both turn around and look at her; the girl holding an ever-so familiar green bag—sour cream and onion flavoured chips.

hanzo drinks coke and genji has sam's cola as his fave (they're literally like the same i think). kiriko prefers pepsico products because they're sweeter to her (pepsi, dr. pepper, mtn dew). also genji would like lemon lime stuff maybe possibly indefinitely.

also hc that he probably was a soda junkie or something in his youth. over time though he kinda savors it like a "fine wine"; where he'd prefer to not have it by himself. rather, he'd drink it to complement a certain food he's having. this one actually makes sense somehow.

hanzo's a playstation person, genji's xbox, and kiriko's nintendo. basically colour coded fr. apparently also: hanzo's pc, genji's console, and kiriko's mobile. though, my friend INSISTS that genji's a mobile player (he plays mobile fortnite and probs got that samsung galaxy skin).

hanzo plays fortnite also to "practice his aim". genji (un)ironically gets all of the anime collab skins and somehow is goated with pickaxing the poor players early on. kiriko is their supplies manager and carries all of their meds and shields because the brothers are busy collecting all of the cool broken guns.

i'm unsure who'd be super good at building. i feel like they'd purposefully play on no build because "only the most talented players don't rely on building" or something dumb as kiriko instinctively pressed the buttons to build stairs as they get third-partied.

btw kiriko loves driving cars esp the fast sports ones and makes one of them sit on top of oit (since only two players max can get on it). she interrupts battles that other plays are in and has genji and hanzo pick off the surviving ones like little scavengers.

they're so good and can actually get into comp stuff, but they'd rather not since they're "lighthearted" (hanzo's upset he's getting bot lobbies and genji's getting reported for "hacking" whilst kiriko's the string holding the whole team together).

if they played splatoon obvs you can tell hanzo's stringer, genji's splatana and maybe kiriko's something supportive like n-zap whilst still having great frontline potential.

i know a lottt more about 2 than 3 actually. i'd say maybe genji would like things with echolocator even if that's more of a widow thing. i thought of reg. squiffer first but that's my main but i think mainly it's how genji can rush in and w aggressive front/mid-line squiffers you just see them go in and out of the ink, trying to kill you w either trickshots or something dumb (it's ok ily guys). also genji's ranged too as well.

maybe also he might play roller because 1: technically melee (his sword) + in reference to his shurikens, the vertical and horizontal spray of the roller can be in reference to his. or maybe he's ANNOYING and plays carbon roller (deco) with ninja squid. ninja squid.

hanzo plays pure mpu bamboozler and then shits on other players for having pure gear because "it's way more affective to have a mixed, sorted array subs instead of trying to make it all the same"/j

tbh the whole "genji, hanzo and kiriko" stuff is just literally splatoon 3 splatfests honestly. hanzo's vanilla ice cream, genji's chocolate, and kiriko's strawberry. i don't know how to explain it.

#🦊‼️#these are so dumb but honestly i don't mind #overwatch #overwatch 2 #kiriko kamori #kiriko yamagami #kiriko overwatch #genji #genji shimada #genji overwatch #hanzo #hanzo shimada #hanzo overwatch #shimada brothers #overwatch headcanons #headcanons #ow hcs #out of character

Hi 🌈sky!

I respectfully disagree with you on the stage situation.

https://twitter.com/devkxx/status/1640402462468341762?s=46&t=syHIf795WX9pVKa0yxO76g

Hate is a strong word so i dont think it’s hate but rather “discomfort” maybe? I dont think gg hates her, never in fact. But it’s quite probable (in my own perspective obvs) that he’s been annoyed with this situation for quite some time. I don’t think he would agree on “appeasing” fans at all considering he and his team must have already foreseen the outcome (hot search etc.). On the other hand, although this doesnt really affect me as a turtle as i long has been szd, it sort of feels like a “slap” to turtle if i was to entertain the idea that gg agreed on the standing side by side with yz on the stage as it was something that im sure he knew that turtles had been excited for ggdd to finally share stage prior to the event (and it didnt happen)

Hi Anon! 😊

This is in reference to a previous post.

Fake, fan fiction, CPN.

I feel like the point of my post has been missed, here. I don't want to lose sight of that point by digging into a big debate about whether GG would agree to stand beside YZ or not. It's not the point of what I'm trying to say.

For years turtles have indulged in hate toward YZ, and have spun detailed narratives about how horrible and manipulative she is, and how much GG hates and resents her behavior. I myself have fallen prey to some of these narratives.

I do agree with you that the GG/YZ ship has caused him some headaches. However it's a tiny, tiny group of people, and it's a somewhat inevitable outcome of having starred in a romance drama alongside her. It just goes with the territory.

Any way you slice it, GG and YZ were voted king and queen and didn't take the stage in that role. I think it would be entirely too charitable toward Weibo to assume they'd just pass it over to someone else without being given anything in return. I personally suspect this shared stage at the finale was what they agreed to. Perhaps not side by side - I'll concede that the clip makes him appear puzzled to be pushed next to her - but on the same final stage.

There's no doubt that these things are negotiated up front, as a condition of attendance. Stars aren't going to agree to appear at an event without agreeing in advance to what is going to take place, so whether it's side by side or as a group but not together, GG agreed to stand on the same stage as her.

And whether or not he agreed to stand next to her, it's utterly undeniable that he voluntarily waited for her to get to the stage and urged her take the stage ahead of him, he interacted with her in a friendly way, he chatted with her as they were leaving the stage. If the turtle narrative about him not wanting anything to do with her was true, there's no way he would have done any of that.

It's all right there in the clip I shared.

As for your last bit there about it being a 'slap' to turtles that GG would agree to appear onstage with her but not appear onstage with DD - that's something I deeply disagree with. I have said this over and over again throughout the lead-up to Weibo Night - turtles need to be realistic about what they think they're going to see.

It was never a guarantee that GG and DD would appear on the same stage, and any thought of an interaction was a wild pipe-dream. Any disappointment any turtle feels about it is a result of their own unrealistic expectations. DD didn't even stay for the whole event, as he had to return to filming. We should all consider ourselves lucky that we got to see him at all.

The event wasn't about their relationship, and they didn't appear there as a couple. It was an industry event.

You're free to interpret things however you like, and you're free to approach fandom however you like. I'm just expressing my own thoughts on this, and stating why I think turtles as a fandom have been unfairly awful to YZ, when as far as I can tell GG gets along with her just fine.

The entire point of my post was to highlight the way turtles treat GG and DD's female friends and colleagues. It's unacceptable in my eyes. It's awful. I don't think GG and DD would be proud of our behavior.

Let's not obscure that key point by focusing on our own hurt feelings about unrealistic expectations.

I ask that people don't send me more messages about this topic unless you have something major to add to the discussion that you can't simply state in the notes. I don't want my day to be taken up with this topic. Thanks.

I made the cheer squad!!! I have a lil more to say but that's the important bit- updates under the cut like always ✨

Cheer tryouts were waaay different than i expected!! I kind of thought it'd be a big ordeal but it was just me and one other freshman who tried out, so we were obvs accepted lol Not that we wouldn't have made it in anyways since we both looked fucking great!! Especially considering I haven't even done any of those moves since last fall. The squad is pretty small and i don't think they do competitive stuff but that's fine, we never did in high school either. I'm more interested in getting to know the rest of the silkball team we'll be cheering on, if the try-outs were any indication of what's to come 🤭 There's this cute owl-guy I might have my eye on- i think he works at the tavern too!!

Oh yeah, i also got the work-study at the tavern! I figure i'll just quit if i don't like it lol but anyways come say hi if ur on campus- i promise you'll recognize me on sight. I'm pretty easy to spot hehe

Oh oh oh and congrats to Mire for getting on the team too!! and for scoring some points with their crush (they can thank me later~). I wonder if they're gonna be able to play well while being cheered on lmaaooo

Classes have been fine, but tbh i haven't rlly been able to pay attention to them since i've been busy partying, meeting new people, and adjusting to life on campus! It's kinda overwhelming, my contacts have like doubled since i got here. And everything is like...way different, yknow? Obvs I didn't think it'd be the SAME as high school, but the vibes are soooo different is all. idk what to make of it all yet but i know that im LOVING being away from home and enjoying my freedom so far <3 Cathy told me the first month or so would probably be rlly hard but idk what she was talking abt bc no one grounds me for waking them up when i get home at 2 am and not even the raven queen can stop me from eating icecream for dinner now.

+++++

In reality, this party was kind of lame, even as Respite typed otherwise to his friends— they'd opted to ditch him for a studying session, so he sure as hell wasn't going to let on that the party was anything but lit. They had a feeling most of them probably wouldn't care, but Willow might feel a touch regretful, so the lie was worth it.

After sending the message to the group chat and briefly checking tinder for any new DMs or matches— maybe he could escape this place and turn the night around— to no avail, they pocketed their phone. How annoying. They rolled their eyes and leaned against the wall, taking a slow sip at the drink they’d been nursing for the past hour. Respite wasn’t really a fan of drinking on the best of nights and all they had to offer here was shitty beer. After a moment of pouting and observing the dimly lit room, they turned and parted the dusty, moth-eaten curtain to look out the window again.

If anyone had noticed the way Respite kept flitting out to the porch or the front window, no one said anything. They did try to keep it discreet, at least, and simply worked it into the way they naturally made the rounds every now and then to talk to different people or get another drink. He liked to move around a lot at parties anyways to make sure that he saw everyone's faces and said hi to them all.

On the opposite side of the spectrum was Mettie, who, shortly after arriving and greeting a few people, had taken an edible or something and parked himself outside on the porch. From there, he seemed to be spending most of his time at the party smoking with other people who needed some fresh air and enrapturing (ensnaring?) them with his long-winded conversation. Respite wasn't sure if this had been his goal when agreeing to come to the party, but it had been the result.

It dawned on Respite slowly that they hadn't really seen Mettie at a party like this before. Well, okay— they'd seen Mettie at one or two big house parties in passing, but they'd never actually spent much time watching him. He’d been the dealer for about 75% of their high school (it was a devastating loss to the community when he’d done his year abroad), so it was hard not to run into him from time to time at parties. But in high school, he was mostly regarded as weird and off-putting. People got what they wanted from him and were generally polite, but it wasn't like he was always invited to stick around. And when he was, it did usually end up like this— he'd put himself in a less populated corner somewhere and make puzzling conversation with those willing to listen.

In their hometown, it had felt like everyone else tolerated it because Mettie was a valuable resource. They knew his penchant for rambling, though, and tried not to engage— Respite himself included.

They couldn't place the feeling as they watched Mettie from the window now, with a handful of people gathered around him, held captive by the way he spoke. These people weren't just being polite, either. They were listening— sometimes even smiling and laughing with him. Sure, they were probably stoned too, but that hardly mattered. It's not like this was the first time it had happened since he’d learned Mettie was also attending Strixhaven. At their cafe shift, during orientation, and at the career fair...things were clearly different here.

A couple of years ago, Respite never would've invited Mettie to a house party with him. It would've been social suicide— he knows; he'd thought about it once early on and didn't even get far enough to invite Mettie before the ridicule started up— and though it had taken a lot to fight against their instinct, they needed to test their theory: Did people here actually like Mettie's company? This party seemed to confirm it for the positive.

In Respite's mind, the jury was still out on whether or not Mettie was cool, but at the very least it seemed like no one was going to corner him in the bathroom and interrogate him about why they saw him talking to the freak who looked like he was one bad day away from shooting up the school (untrue, of course, and tasteless in a way only teenagers could be, but Respite had forced out a laugh at the time).

There was a feeling of relief in that. In knowing that neither of them would be under constant scrutiny from peers and adults alike. Being unknown was freeing in some ways.

But there was a dread in it, too. In losing the structure Respite had spent years delicately building the pieces of their identity around.

A memory from when they were kids came to mind unbidden, of the time Respite had accidentally knocked over one of Mettie's earliest sculptures. It had been unsteady and the base made of air-dry clay toppled easily when Respite bumped the dresser in a fit of energetic excitement, sending it crashing to the ground. The roughly attached bits and bobs came loose and scattered across Mettie's bedroom floor, transitioning from art to disjointed pieces without purpose or clarity in an instant.

For what it was worth, Mettie had taken it in stride even as Respite desperately crawled under his bed with a flashlight to gather everything, apologizing and promising to help him glue it back together. After staying quiet for some time, he'd declared it an act of fate that only added to the piece and gave it new meaning. Respite didn't understand, but they'd been so terrified of being yelled at that they nodded in agreement even as their cheeks were pink from crying. They still attempted to fit some of the pieces back together until Mettie insisted they just put it in an empty shoe box so that he could make something new of it. To this day, Respite had no idea if Mettie had ever fixed it, restructured it, or simply left it as a memorial in his closet.

They wrinkled their nose up at the unwarranted assault of a flashback. Clearly they'd been hanging around Mettie too much already if their thoughts were starting to get this metaphorical. He downed the last of his warm beer, hoping the bile on his tongue would force him to refocus on the party.

what are your honest opinions on ALL the gen 1 cast? Like obvs Courtney is queen but what abt the lesser beings

Ha, thank you! I’ll give my opinions here…let’s hope they don’t find this.

Lindsey: We don’t really have much in common, she’s nice enough generally but I can’t have her near me on the show. Realistically, if it wasn’t for Heather, she’d have gone home way earlier. At least she wasn’t on my team.

Heather: Honestly, I respect her. I can’t really agree with her means, I’m not one for blackmail, but her drive to win is admirable. Also, I’ve got to thank her properly for comforting me after Duncan and I’s breakup.

Betsy: Her braces lisp was seriously annoying while filming. And her in general. I’m just glad she wasn’t on the Killer Bass.

Duncan: Ugh. Don’t even get me started on that grubby excuse for a man. I mean, ugh. I honestly thought we were okay together…but I guess not. Whatever.

Leshawna: I like her. Sorry about accidentally voting you out, I guess that makes two of us that were unfairly kicked off the show.

Owen: Genuinely just disgusting. And didn’t even try for half the challenges. I mean, how does someone like that even make it to the finals? Ugh.

Izzy: Honestly, she’s really weird, but that’s about all I have to say about her. At least she actually attempts challenges, unlike other contestants. Not sure about her taste in men though…ew.

Trent: Nothing to say really, I don’t really have an opinion. He’s pretty average, and we didn’t speak much. Has a horrible taste in women.

Cody: He’s pretty nice, actually. One of the few people that weren’t insane on the season. Although maybe he is a little insane to like Gwen…

Noah: At least he has brains, although he could do with a little less sarcasm…

Jeff: Not really my sort of person, but he’s nice. He invited most of the cast to a party after the show ended. I didn’t go. Too awkward.

Bridgette: She’s quite nice, we get on alright, but I still haven’t forgotten her being responsible for breaking my violin. I miss playing…

Kadie & Sadie: I feel the same about both of them, which is general annoyance. Although without them, I guess I wouldn’t have gotten closer with Duncan. Weird.

Tyler: He’s sweet, a bit clueless though. You can’t really hate anyone who’s so earnest though.

DJ: He’s a really lovely guy, I enjoy spending time with him. It would be nicer if he had a bit more of a backbone though…

Harold: Oh my god. I have nothing to say except I HATE him. His micro ego made me lose the win! Ugh. What a loser.

Ezikiel: He’s honest just weird…I don’t like to speak to him.

Gwen: The fakest ‘nice’ goth you’ll ever meet. With the ugliest fashion sense too. I don’t even want to speak about her, really.

Justin: He’s alright. Great to look at. We only really started speaking more after my return in Action though. He’s a very lovely Prince Charming :)

Ava: Anger issues much? Try therapy.

I'm not a messi or argentina fan and i do agree with some of your points but at the same time i feel like this year the argentinian team looks more like a team than they did back in 2014 idk if you saw philiph lahm's tweet about this and he made some points, I still dont know if they will end up winning the world cup but if they do obv all the spotlight will go to him and thats when it starts to get annoying bc he is not the only good player there

that's fair this is not the worst messi/argentina team i've ever watched. but i still think messi is a much more selfish player than people like to believe. and if argentina win no one's going to even mention the other players

tag from foot2rue is gay, here’s the receipt (just copy/pasting my live reaction to watching season 1 to friends)

1/ there's a sort of love triangle between two guys and a girl. the situation is that guy 1 and 2 are childhood besties that spend all their time together but one day a girl becomes part of their friend group. guy 2 gets a crush on her immediatly and guy 1 get PISSED and for a good almost 10 eps it REALLY looks like he's jealous that guy 2 pay attention to her, and not... what they meant to convey, that he supposedly has a crush on her also

2/ the boring het couple are together now BUT as soon as they are there's a jealousy ep (couldn't wait a bit longer to make them look like a real couple even) and THE DUDE. get jealous. in the MOST gay way like. talks about his "rival" like "he's so cool, and nice, and handsome, i get why she would prefer him to me" like do you hear yourself boy????? he tries to do the "angry boyfriend" thing of talking to the dude but gets flustered instead cause the guy just too handsome like COME ON writers

3/ in one ep he runs away and the only person he tells/says goodbye to is one of his guy friend (not even bestie, but another i can totally see him have a crush on), and not his "gf"

4/ other ep bestie isn't here and everyone is midly upset... expect main dude who is VERY upset, like nothing can cheer him up upset. gay boy. he's so upset his other friends are annoyed about it

5/ same ep: cause bestie isn't there they have to find another player and mc decide to pick their nemesis, his teammates are like "you lost your fuckin mind" but he goes on a monologue about how nemesis deserves a chance and he can relate to him and shit like BOY

if there's no enemy to lover fic about these two, the fuck is this fandom doing

it's like poetry... the closeted gay boy who feels he would be rejected at any moment if his peers knew about him, and while he's currently popular, can't help but be stressed about this possibility so much he doesn't really fit in (from his point of view) and looks at how his nemesis is rejected by everyone for being openly himself (tho not about his sexuality) and think "we're the same" hence why he reach for him even if it means all his friends being mad at him... for the hope that if he gets rejected just like the nemesis one day, maybe at least one person would do the same thing he just did for that dude

5/ i legit gasped LOUDLY cause holy shit the dramaaaa

obv the rest of the team don't want to play with the nemesis so they're playing badly and almost loosing until nemesis has no choice but give up

mc is like "the fuck is your problem" to teammates and they're like "we'd rather play as 4" (there's 5 people in teams) and mc is like "yeah? well get ready to play at 3"

and fuckin LEAVES

with the NEMESIS

ABANDONING HIS TEAMMATES

6/ this boy gonna make me faint... they just won the match that qualified them to the final and he LEFT before his team even started to go all YEAAAAH to follow the nemesis, like, this was more important to him

7/ next ep: mc gets up in the night and guess who he meets? his nemesis. who CHEERS him up, even tho they couldn't stand each other until last ep but mc being on his side must have meant so much to him they're on good terms now

also mc is sad over the thought of loosing his friends (in text, he has no real reason to believe he's gonna lose them)(in gay reading tho? oooooh boy) and AGAIN the way he talk to ex-nemesis about it, the one he relate the most to? bitch........

8/ i'm crying laughing....... ex-nemesis after all that "and your gf?" as in, what does she think of all this, and tag says he didn't tell her any of it (cause again the only one he felt like telling is ex-nemesis) and then PROMPTLY change the subject like i'm banging my fist on the table DUDE

9/ the fact that mc gets upset at his "gf" all the fuckin time but never treat his guy friends/crush that way (he had ONE fight with bestie but apologized quickly and it was a whole scene)(has he ever apologized to her? maybe once over all the times they got mad at each other)

10/ mc chose to babysit a kid even tho he had a date planned with his "gf", ditching her like he'd... rather do that, than spend time with her

11/ SCREAMING end of ep there's a good news for the team, everyone is cheering then the fuckin ex-nemesis enters frame but far away from them and winks

for a sec i was like "who the fuck is he winking to? the audience?" but THEN zoom on mc's face, who winks back (he's the only one who saw nemesis, and og wink was meant for him precisely) like can you guys... stop... doing this to me

12/ i counted 4 boys tag seems to have a crush on in only 1 season

#I rant about stuff #like i HAD to take notes there was so many instances #it's not even all of them #foot 2 rue

maimai I love when you bless us with your thoughts and knowledge 🤭🤓 so if you have time later can you make some predictions for this season?

who's winning the prem? arsenal? 👀 and serie a? you think juve has a chance or it's too late? the ucl and europa league?

love you xx 🥰

not maimai im beaming🥹 my face hurts, I love YOU💗 I think this is gonna be long. I feel like guessing the winners of any league is tough rn it seems so sporadic atm…which is fun…. if it benefits my clubs🤭

but! the prem… obviously I wanna say arsenal especially given how they’ve been playing and the squad’s mentality…but I’ve been here before yk? I’ve seen this film before😭 and in order to stay sane & not get my hopes up I’ve refused believe the league is ours until the very end of the season. I feel like if not us then citeh… :/ or maybe an even bigger surprise..maybe someone else will sneak up top. it’s been a wild season so far tbh…we shall see ig..

now serie a…my optimism can be a lil annoying when it comes to my faves succeeding ik🤭 that being said… I feel like the wc break affected every team in different ways and not everyone has found their footing yet…opening things up a bit. obvs napoli is on top w a 7 point gap(?) but the numbers following them aren’t that far off like Juve & Milan are tied for third (lovers quarrel👁️) I think there’s gonna be some slip ups tbh like today Milan couldn’t hold off Torino… don’t think it’s too late at all for Juve to climb the table tbh..which is wild now that i think about it lmaooo not to start rambling but all the credit goes to players, not baldllegri. I think their drive & their love for their club/each other kinda powered them up & that was evident just before the wc break. plus the youngsters are getting their chances AND Fede’s back? like i said it’s not safe when he’s around just look at how his presence impacts the game & everyone else feeds off of that like!!!

UCL is tough for the same reasons like the wc right in the middle was goofy😭 the transfer window is another reason why I think it’s opened up like these clubs that are still in it are at risk of either losing promising players or some will be lucky to gain a few. but my bias is screaming porto even tho im still shocked they made it to the knockouts ansjsks. but I did say a few months ago that it was time for a team not in ingland/ethpaña to win and I’m still standing by that! I feel like it’s gonna come down to which team i hate least…im a lil scared ngl let’s get rid of citeh, spuds, & inter then we’ll talk!

europa…erm.. lmaoo the lineup is wild and I feel like it can literally go in any direction. obvs I want MAI teams to be in contention for the trophy but I absolutely hate some of the teams there and the thought of having to play them makes me queasy. I also feel like a lot of the “underdogs” can pull off some upsets too especially given how congested some of the games are for teams in certain leagues. like I can imagine teams like Betis & PSV doing so. of course I want my teams to not get battered but then I’m like….I want them to focus on our leagues too yk? esp bc im always worried about fitness, player availability..all that lol i think I’ll have a definite answer when it starts back up again

im hoping this is legible beloved lmao lmk YOUR thoughts!!🫶🏽🎤

#answered #i always think of that ‘-all I needed was a platform’ vid when I get mssgs like these🤭#bc my mind…..she doesn’t rest at all I fear I rlly need to unleash n ramble….#tysm you’re so kind beloved fr🥺💘🫂

10 Anti LO Asks

1. i honestly have to guess the reason the anatomy is just SO bad in LO now is that the team gets such rushed sketches from rachel (youd be shocked how many series do this to their teams of assistants) and are on such a time crunch that yeah with a little more time they could fine-tune it to look better but they just go "fuck it" and follow exactly whats on the sketch and it just ends up looking like ... that. its not really the fault of the team but more rachel doesnt give them a lot to work with.

2. idk how you guys claim lo persephone has no personality?? she has big boobs and ass and does whatever hades wants her to do, thats all the personality she needs! (/s obviously)

3. LMAOOO EROS IS BANNED NOW?? love you terrible tumblr staff, never change

4. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT CANVAS COMIC YOURE TALKING ABOUT and you can check the creator's instagram and see the majority of their page is just LO fanart. they maybe could have claimed arrogance if this wasn't the case (tbh most of the character, story, and visual tropes LO uses are super common place that an accidental overlap is very possible) to give it more leeway, but the fact they're an admitted LO fan who just HAPPEN to have all the same exact elements is ... very sus.

5. the athena/hesita ship is also bad bc theyre framed as hypocrites for not letting the poor straight girl persephone bone her near retirement age boss and theyre just?? stupid?? like they never get rid of their no sex rule? also rachel's past comments of hestia "getting over" being asexual (as if asexuals dont have sex? its a spectrum?) and the fact athena has to look like a Man™️ while Hestia looks like a Woman™️ so it's also a gendered gay ship too. It's just bad no matter how you cut it.

6. this is such an annoying thing about RS's "character designs" but why do NONE of them have even some distinct accessories to show who they are? Give Zeus a crown of lighting streaks. Give Hera peacock decals on her clothes. Have Poseidon carry his trident on his back. Give Hades a jewel skull tie pin. ANYTHING! The only one who has any is Persephone with blobby flowers which often aren't even there and lack any sort of rhyme or reason to them (other than blue for horny 🤨). It's so lazy!

-----FP Spoilers/Mention-----

7. FP Spoilers//I wish Persephone had come by her wrath honestly instead of it being "blessed" by Eris. Like. Heaven forbid the sweet precious cinnamon roll has dimension and feels wrath because that's natural and just part of her? Maybe I'm not making sense. Idk it just feels like RS is doing everything in her power to make Persephone perfect rather than a well rounded character. Maybe I'm wrong. Idk I just hate that it's not *her* wrath it's a blessing from Eris. Smh.

8. alright im not spending coins on it, what cliffhanger did the mid season finale end on this time. (//fp spoilers obvs)

From OP: I’d recommend just going on youtube tbh. The panels kinda add to this weird mid season finale.

9. //FP SPOILERS

OH MY GOD YESSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING 12 YEARS WHOLE SEASON FOR THIS. Persephone's finally getting the punishment for all her deeds(and a pretty fair one, per se), she and Hades will finally be apart and Zeus being an actual ruler who makes big decisions and not some clown. Like yeah, there is also ugly art, plot twists out of nowhere, but this is just season 2 you can't do anything about. All and all this is the best chapter in the season so far, can't wait for LO stans to read it, ooh boy this is going to be fun

10. Fp- yep so Perse is all uwu, her "ambitious" side and aow wasn't even hers. Wanted character development? Now you have downgrade. Thanks Rachel. At least we are getting Minthe back

YCMAL Superlatives Write-ins (Rd 4)

In which there are fighting words. And loving words. And pretty much everything in between.

Most elaborate pre-game routine:

Anton seems extremely superstitious. On the other hand David probably has an elaborate routine simply because Things Need to be Done the Right Way

based on nothing… sandro carmen

Playoff Willy. Does enforcing others people's smiling count?

Crane. Although only he knows what it is because no one who interrupts it survives.

Playoff Willy. It includes ritual intimidation of his teammates

I hold close to my heart the fact that Ulf is very superstitious.

Bryce. Or David. Honestly, anyone neurodivergent.

James seems like a ‘must do everything exactly the same way every time to keep in control’ kind of guy.

Crane (or maybe playoff Willy if routine is glaring your teammates into submission)

Sebastian Boucher’s dramatic ass

Joey. That boy is *particular* about his routines.

Craney, obvs. Fucking goalies

I feel like there's a canonical answer but I also know in my heart that it's Willy. I mean look at him

David. And it must be done exactly the same way. And don't you dare call him superstitious.

Tate Williams seems like the kind of guy who would be upset if the jam for his pre-game pb&j was the wrong brand. Also Troy, for whom only Nolan's stick taping will do.!

Conny. Big anxious boy has got to have 15 things he does in the exact order or else nothing's gonna go well

What’s a routine?

Jake. Probably does athletic stuff he’s supposed to do but spends the whole time chatting with the boys.

is it cheating to say owen?

Kiro, he is pure chaos

Liam. Organization and routines don't seem like a strength of his.

Mike - can all you crazy fuckers shut the fuck up

Playoff Willy, if it's not hockey it's a distraction, stop it.

Is it bad that I can sort of picture Gally having to ask this?

maybe Chaz Rossi? he seems chill

Scratch seems like he wakes up and forgets it’s game day

Liam (doesn't have a routine AND will mess with yours)

Jared (he's obviously above it!)

I looked into the void and the void said Derek

Liam will claim not to have one. In reality his routine is annoying his teammates

Trigger. Because he is already terrifyingly in the zone.

Stephen, just off the vibes. He’s too sensible for superstition, GABRIEL

Oleg, he's got little kids so must be at peace with chaos

Liam. He doesn't have the attention span to have one.

I feel like Luke Morris would be the type of guy to just. show up places. with no prep

Sebastian tried-to-leave-without-his-passport Boucher

Dima, unless by “routine” you mean needling a different teammate before each game but mostly his lineys

Ulf —way too self composed for such nonsense

Best babysitter for their teammates' kids:

There are two very vocal schools of thought on this. But first, the outliers:

David (though he doesn’t think so) and Vinny (who DOES think so)

Jake!!! You know there's a "Jake Lourdes holding babies" Twitter someone made in-verse

David, but only if you're Oleg

Jake. Responsible, fun, authoritative but in a relaxed way. Has mysterious helper on the line for tense situations.

Gerard Leon, canonically

Accidental co-parenting player?

Then the OG:

Vinny the dinosaur, hands down.

Vinny. Not even close. Adam and David are sleeper hits.

Vinny. Best dinosaur noises.Vinny.

It's 100% vinny. I'd let him babysit my kid

If you chose anyone other than Vinny you are categorically incorrect AND you should feel bad

And the earnest upstart:

Bryce - trying to convince Jared they need to have enough for their own personal team

There should only be one answer and that's Bryce Marcus: the Kurmazovs' fave free babysitter and future father of four hobgoblins

Bryce-would he give soda at 9pm yes, will he stay up till 2 in the morning running around screaming with the kids? Also, yes.

Bryce. An always willing babysitter is absolutely priceless. And Jared can bail him out if in a bind, albeit long-sufferingly.

And the rosé of the Wine Wars:

Vinny, but Bryce might be slightly harder to bully into bad decisions right? Which is embarrassing for Vinny cause Bryce is SOFT

Not allowed to babysit their teammates' kids:

More mixed results on this one! For various (very good) reasons.

Derek. Just no. Disaster. Someone will come back without an eyebrow.

Seb seems like a menace, he will just buy them everything

Kiro, although not because the kids don't love him. The parents will suffer the consequences for YEARS

Liam. He knows what he did.

i don't think anyone has ever even considered letting Shithead within 3 feet of their child

David if they aren’t Oleg’s kids.

Julius (he's fine with this)

Robbie the masshole (I'm one too, i know how often we swear)

I feel sebastien would encourage shenanigans

I honestly feel guilty putting anyone - I think pretty much all of them would rise to the occasion if necessary

...... Morgan Fraser

Gally. (Joke answer: Darryl because he can't even babysit his kid teammates. jk Darryl ilu)

Dima (does he have kids? i am afraid)

I mean Roman. You basically wrote that story already

LIAM (responsibility whomst?)

Gally (teammates come back, the house is on fire)

Please do not let Shithead corrupt children

Jared. He’d let them die.

Also a clear frontrunner here:

ScratchMoney, Scratch if I have to pick one, he'd totally give the kids a sugar high than hand them back.

I’m finding it hard to trust ScratchnMoney with a dog, let alone a human child

ScratchnMoney. The tweedles need a babysitter for themselves.

ScratchNMoney. Wait until the WAGs hear they got a dog.

I feel like Scratch would just give them loads of sugar while Money tries to be responsible and fails. they let the kids watch star wars and then give them lightsabers to "let the energy out" they don't know how things went wrong

ScratchMoney-kids whacked on sugar, them asleep on couch

Character you would absolutely loathe if you knew them IRL:

whoever chirped vinny about being a virgin, what an asshole

Had Jared and I been in the same high school class I would have killed him

Jared because I have his personality

I am ashamed to admit. Liam. We're too similar. He'd be taking peoples attention away from me and Id hate that

Robbie (sorry girl ily)

Much like David and Jake, I kind of want to punch Sebastien Boucher in the face

I was gonna say Nikita but tbh… Luke lol

Jared. I'm sorry, I love him, but he would make me so furious irl. I'm no Bryce.

Stephen. I am not afraid to headbutt him directly in the mouth when he’s mean to me.

Anton. Too grumpy. I’m grumpy enough.

Robbie tbh. I love him but the misogyny does not hit

George ”Cheating Cheater Who Cheats” Dineen

Fitzgerald (so so talky so so energy)

Deslauriers- I will absolutely throw hands with a homophobic geriatric

As much as I adore him in AIT, RL Robbie would make me homicidal.

Harry, bristly boys are not appreciated

For ‘ancillary character’ reasons he will not be making the Final Four, but clearly there is a consensus for numero uno hated:

taylor fucking benson

Benson (somebody pass me a sledgehammer I'm going to deprive him of his kneecaps)

Benson, but also Playoff Willy (and ONLY Playoff Willy not normal Willy)

Fuckin Benson

Character you'd want to be buds with if you knew them IRL:

Jared is currently in top four in the loathed and buds category, which deserves MASSIVE kudos, I think. Congratulations you snarky little hobgoblin.

Gabriel my beloved come make latkes with me

Jared (would he want to be friends with me though? Probably not)

Can I have Kiro, Victor, and all your most psychotic goalies? Okay it's possible I want a gang, not a bud.

ELLIOTT MATTHEWS I WOULD LOVE HIM WITH MY WHOLE MIGHT I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER CALL HIM NEEDY EVER EVER (GLARE AT ONE PARTICULAR ROBBIE LOMBARDI)

Milan, we can be salty Penguins fans together

Julius Halla! a snarky introvert whose musical taste encompasses death metal and pop???? be still my beating heart

If Roman handed me a homemade button, I'd keep it literally forever

Stephen. Me and my friends are bitchy and sarcastic together - he'd fit right in and I want an invite to wine night

Jared. He’s not an idiot, knows the value of shared silence, and we could talk shit about everyone together.

I will be Marc Lapointe's new best friend and I will brook no arguments, because dibs doesn't count (Dan) and Ulf can catch these hands

Kiro and Emily. I refuse to choose between them, they belong together.

Marc. Pamphlet buddies, social justice warriors, emotional support providers in our spare time.

Owen, emily, Elaine, JESSICA… honestly any of the non-hockey players

Vinny. I need sunshine in my life.

Liam (I love him and will hear nothing against him)

Jared. Snarky judgy hobgoblins unite!

Marc! I too love pamphlets

Jared. Silence and Snide is all I require

I would admire Kiro from afar with longing (but he's way too cool for me)

Jared, come sit by me and bitch about everything

Bryce (loves Pooh Bear, very sweet, what else is needed)

Vinny is already my best friend and I love him

Best Dressed:

Also two distinct camps, and now I am trying to decide if Bryce and Seb would hit it off terrifyingly at an All-Star Game, or if he’d join David and Jake in the Loathing Seb Boucher Club. I’m truly unsure. (Not about Jared though, Jared would hate him)

Dave if you believe in subtlety. Seb if you're uncertain what it means.

Bryce thinks it's him but I am not sure

If Seb isn't, he'll go fix that right now

BRYCE. THIS IS NOT A DEBATE

Bryce (or David if you like the immaculate-robot type)

At first I thought Stephen, maybe Andreas, but then I remembered Bryce Freaking Marcus

I feel like Marc has the same perfect $5 hairstyle as Hank Lundqvist so I'm going for Marc

NOT SEBASTIEN BOUCHER ANYONE BUT HIM

Ah. I do not want to say Bryce, because I bet he would be elegant but boring. I feel like Holden would crack the NHL Style Power Rankings with some obnoxious but smart fits

Bryce (Jared, don't look at the receipts)

Bryce, or Jared if Bryce dressed him that day

Elaine (thanks to my sweet Bryce.)

Jessica as gritty😉

Most expensive is Seb. Actual quality is like, Marc, maybe?

Sebastien! I can't remember if he has a stylist, but he's absolutely the type to have a stylist, even though Simon would be convinced said stylist only enables him.

Bryce or Seb. Canadians who like to spend their hard earned money

Chaz Rossi (i feel like he's got his shit together)

Sebastian "I unironically own $4000 Ferragamo loafers" Boucher

Worst Dressed:

... also Sebastian "I unironically own $4000 Ferragamo loafers" Boucher

Dan. I feel like he might end up in dad jeans too young.

In my heart of heart I believe that Liam has no taste in clothing

Shithead, he thought the gold shirt was a smart decision.

Too many candidates. I will say Benson because he doesn't have the personality to make up for it.

I'm not convinced Luke gives a shit how he dresses.

David (not 'bad', per se, more like boring)

maybe Luke? for some reason i imagine his non-hockey wardrobe pretty much exclusively containing plaid, cargo pants, and Nickelback shirts

I feel like Scratch doesn’t match his socks

Derek Carruthers is responsible for the Single Worst Outfit—there is power in the absence of shame—but day to day it’s gotta be Benson (derogatory)

Anton. If he were modern he'd call it "drip" and it would not be drip.

I think many would fall under the category of ‘just doing bare dress-code minimum’, but I feel Seb would go so far the other way and tip over the stylish edge into ‘the fuck is he wearing?’ category.

Any of them from ~17 through ~21

Jared seems like we wore cargo shorts before Bryce got his hands on him

Every single hockey player, c'mon

Is it Derek and Andy time yet?

Jared if he dresses himself

Mike “Genuinely Does Not Give a Rat’s Ass” Brouwer

Dan, particularly once the kids were born.

I have a feeling Dima proudly rocks some very unfortunate outfits

Any of the Russians. As a European I've already seen enough irl.

Most helpful copilot on a road trip:

DAN sweet sweet forgotten saint of a child

Tonya Petrov, accept no substitutes

Why is it none of them

Grace! excellent navigator, also a pretty good DJ

Jake. He’d make you feel better about getting lost.

Roman—a certified Useful Man, not too angry, not too silent

David (can't drive, so won't criticise your driving; will research how to get where you're and will be able to guide you

I'm gonna go against the grain and say Liam. You wouldn't get bored for sure

Willy has got that shit locked and loaded

I trust Sven Olsen with my life and we'd just chill and watch the miles roll by, maybe listen to a podcast

Marc (If by helpful you mean bossy)

Kiro (the stories this man can tell!)

Dan Riley seems like an all-around standup guy and good egg. And I bet he has a sense of direction.

Mike- navigator expert, Liam-Conversation

Pierre Marc “I have researched every possible destination so I can tell you about them” Lapointe

Ben Morris! a good bean

Okay, his DJ skills may be suspect, but Jake had got to be hands down the best road companion.

Jared (organized. would research the route. terrible conversation but would be committed to keeping the driver awake)

Steve Peters! My man exudes responsibility (DONT HIT THE DRIVER JARED)

Once again, a consensus has seemingly been reached:

Gabe. Smart and patient.

Gabe, steady and reliable

Gabe. Although I think he could just be Most Helpful full stop

Gabe would figure everything out and provide good conversation as needed

Gabe (knows how to read a map, is sensible and doesn't complain every 5 minutes)

Gabe. Good, always competent Gabe. Not too chatty, not too silent, not an idiot, and probably does not have deplorable taste in music.

Gabe, planned out routes (you know he's got back ups if there's traffic) will be quiet if I need it, or chat, easygoing

Gabe. Chill, smart, good conversationalist, and part of the 'more than one braincell' club.

Gabe (because of the braincell)

Gabe, the good son, who will be prepared with GPS, snacks, and an un-obnoxious playlist.

Although several guys could fit those individual roles, Gabe probably has the best all-around combined score

Most useless copilot on a road trip:

Holden Chase. Murdered by the driver before they got anywhere.

scratchnmoney could get lost in a paper bag

Harry would guide you the wrong way on purpose, turn up the volume if you wanted to talk and once you're enjoying the music he would speak over it

Derek, I have no reason but just gut feeling

Scratchnmoney (just bc i feel like i can't write liam fitzgerald for everything)

Liam. He doesn't know how to entertain himself without messing with other peoples' heads and/or lives (phone sex with Mike doesn't count)

Scratch: "are we there yet?" "can we stop for candy?"

Julien, I don't speak French or Poet

Robbie Lombardi, world's most annoying backseat driver

Evan Connelly is nervous and only wants to agree with you—no helpful decisions will be made

Liam. I would literally kill him.

Charlie as a child seems like a terrible travel buddy

Liam, I'd throttle him if I was stuck in a car with him for hours! And not in a sexy way.......

Derek Carruthers wins a lot of these most useless categories

Harry Chalmers would be a PAIN

Scratchnmoney (why are they so frequently the worst at the more practical things?)

I would say Joey and Scratch except they would be entertaining which is very important in a road trip. Anton, because he's either missing Vinny, being mad if Vinny's attention is being taken up by the driver and not him, or he and Vinny are the only ones going on the road trip and therefore he's driving.

Liam, he'd never shut up, get distracted by his terrible playlist and forget to navigate, and eat all the snacks.

How do I not know which of your characters falls asleep as soon a they're in a moving vehicle? Charlie?

David, what use is a copilot if they can't even drive`?

Liam, either singing along badly or asleep

And so beautifully terrible that he leapfrogs a bunch of main characters:

Julius. Will sit in shotgun, headphones on, and play phone games. You want conversation? Screw you. You want a dj? He's not listening to your music. You get lost? Lmaoooo

Julius would tell you that your phone has gps and ignore you the rest of the time

Julius Halla- my boy has limited English, a hobgoblin attitude, and a preference for Finnish death metal; 0/10, would not roadtrip again

Julius, canonically

Julius (doesn't know how to get where you're going, will only talk to you to criticise your driving anyway, will want to listen to Finnish death metal)

Can you do the haikyuu captions with an S/o who is in their first year (fluffy)

yayy finally have a reason to write for kuroo and bokuto

first year s/o headcanons with:

oikawa tooru, sawamura daichi, kuroo tetsuro, bokuto kotaro

gn!reader :)

oikawa tooru

at first, you were a little hesitant on letting your relationship out

because some of his fans could be second or third years yk, we don’t want no bullies bullies b gone whoosh

but he is almost always by your side and has even acted annoyed to his fans if they were ever mean to you

having a third year as your bf means that you can get homework help whenever you want

and all your teachers love him

so they don’t mind if he hangs out in the classroom sometimes, as long as he doesn’t distract you

he’ll gush about how you and your little friends are so cute

pull that old man shit and be like “I remember those days, we were young and free~”

dramatic king

whenever you go to one of his games, you’ll always try to cheer louder for him compared to his other fans and he’s got like this big surge of pride

but afterwards he’ll be like “don’t lose your voice honey”

will want you to be the team’s new manager soooo bad

like will beg you on his knees because if you accept the current manager’s offer, you can see your bf even more and he can impress you

the manager totally doesn't use that to try to convince you

oikawa really just loves how the slight age gap means he has more the reason to take care of you

your first time during a class sports event? he’s right by your side, making sure you don’t feel awkward or lost

yes he’s that type of person who looooves it when you ask questions and he can show off his smexy brain

a lot of times Iwaizumi will hit him in the back of the head if he’s talking with you too much and he’ll just sulk and slump his head on your shoulder

sawamura daichi

he’ll always bop his head into ur class

he’s obviously also a teacher’s favorite have u met this guy

oh wait no u haven’t, rip sucks to be u *sobs*

so the teachers don't mind

ur teachers prolly even gush about him with you, yk like those teachers who lOVE drama/gossip yea them

Nishinoya and tanaka always try to get ur attention bc your Daichi’s s/o and every time, Daichi will yell at them, telling them to not scare you off

but they still do it

tis a cycle

plays 128489x better when you’re around

wait gotta round that so 130000x

we know he’s very encouraging to his teammates but with you around? he’s like Yamaguchi’s personal cheering squad

will go to your house in the mornings, walk you to class, wait there at lunch, walk you home, ugh this man can’t get enough of u

he loves it when you lean against him when u guys walk together, he’ll wrap a secure arm around you and you nuzzle in his neck SHDFKJHDKS

u always help them shag the balls and he’s like “no, no, y/n let tanaka and Nishinoya do it” and those two are giving you puppy eyes

cue Daichi chasing them down

if tanaka and noya are puppies, he’s your bulldog

omg random but y'all know that one parks and rec episode where they’re picking people’s spirit dog? yea Daichi is like a bulldog

but once he turns to you it’s all 🌈🌟💫💝

but he’s genuine

no fakes we don’t want them

if you read my sick s/o hcs you’ll know how much of a “handsome boy” to elderly people he is

hehe sry for the self promo

kuroo tetsuro

u already know what ur dates are gonna be like

he’s gonna smexy study with you *bites lip*

yea that’s right Kuroo just leave ur brain and go

this man,,,again I know,,,is adored by your teachers

“Kuroo you’ve still got that same hair!”

yea he’s def like a teacher assistant or smn during his free period

he’ll pick ur class and just wiggles his eyebrows whenever y'all make eye contact

when you’re done with a presentation, he’ll be the first and loudest when clapping

alwaysss is there when you need a pencil or an eraser

this man will literally prepare protein bars for you the morning u have a test, will give you a pep talk, y'all like huddle outside the classroom or something LMAO that’s cute tho

“you’re gonna go in there and you’re gonna kick that test in the ass ok?”

gives you a dad pat, a kiss to ur head and gives you two thumbs up when you glance at him at your desk

p sure everyone in your class wants him to hold a study session

but no ladies & gentlemen, he’s reserved for y/n and y/n only good day ☺️

its kinda impossible for u to fail

to thank his brain, you always show up to his practices and games

you give the team their water, towels, etc and he’s just yea that’s right they’re my s/o

now shower them with praise *holds them at gunpoint*

his schedule is busier than yours and he always feels bad abt it

which is why he’s soooo clingy if y'all sleepover or after hw

it’s hard for him to resist u cuddles during hw tho

OMIGOD WATCH THIS VID

bokuto kotaro

ok at this point we know that all our captains are angels so

*deep inhale*

he’s a teachers favorite

ACTUALYYYYY you just call akaashi

DuH

bokuto will litrally be like “ur bad at math? Babe just jump in the pool with me rn with ur clothes on, take a shower and then we’ll call akaashi!!”

it was 1 am 💀

he’s a good distraction whenever you’re stressed out

literally sunshine in human form

if ur there during his practices and matches he almost NEVERS goes into Emo mode bc gotta impress my s/o

ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ!!

will randomly call out to you when he’s on the court

“HEY Y/N HI HELLO”

“this ones for you” *hits it into the net*

every time he gets a good play he’ll immediately look into the crowd and ur there jumping for him and he’s jumping back and awww

some ppl r wondering if he’s even older than u like y’all look abt the same age 🤔

he’s just 🍗🍗🍖🍖🍑🍑

if ur not there during practice he’ll definitely just slouch and swing his arms around “where’s y/nnnn”

someone lift his face up and kiss him on the nose

THATS U Y/N GET UR MAN

but he knows he can’t act like that during games

he’ll just have to suck it up

and pretend like ur there, pretend that ur voice is there

literally he can only pick out your cheers from a whole stadium of people

but obv u get the best seats ;)

a/n: aaah this was fun to write ^3^

haikyu!! masterlist

I see you mention writting for kakashi?👀 what kind of yandere do you think he'd be? Love all your writting byw! Thank you for the brain rot💖💖💖

Ty ty :3 I'm glad you enjoy!!

God I love Kakashi bc he's been in my life for... like 2/3 of my life now? The first characters I ever remember being attracted to were Kakashi, Inuyasha, and Zuko lol. I was like 6/7 years old for all of them. Kakashi absolutely gave birth to my sensei/mentor figure kink lmao. I'll probably write a profile for him eventually but have some HCs in the meantime!!

- It would depend a bit on reader-chan tbh. Like, if he's in a position of authority over you, he's gonna kinda feel guilty and struggle with that a lot. Me inserting my teacher kink ngl but I feel like he would kiiiinda have a guilty pleasure for it, gets off a bit to the power he has over you. (Obvs adult reader-chan, but an authority nonetheless).

- Definitely a guilty yandere. He's just lucid enough to feel like what he's doing is wrong, to know there's something wrong with him, and it eats at him at first, but it's just too good. You're just too good, he wants you too bad, and he ultimately consciously chooses the selfish desire over the voice in his head telling him he's doing something wrong. Again, he'd feel guilty, it would really bother him, and it would tear him apart if he ever kills for you or feels like he's forcing you, but it's just not enough to stop him.

- He would be protective as all hell. He's not a super delusional type but I can see him vastly overestimating the threats to y/n. Ooooh and it gets so much worse is y/n is ever in actual danger. Remember how protective he was of team 7 back in the OG series whenever they were in real danger? He's just - he would be like a guard dog tbh. If you get annoyed or creeped out by it, he will stop... visibly. He'll just be more secretive about it, and trust me, if he doesn't want you to detect his presence, he'll do a damn good job of making sure you have no idea he's there. He's patient and has a lot of restraint, and would hold back for a long time, content with stalking, fantasizing, and keeping you isolated from other people. It would probably take some kind of significant event, something where you were almost badly hurt or even killed, or someone threatening you, or perhaps some guy persistently chasing after you, for him to finally snap, delusion-style, and become convinced that you need him to take you away, that he needs you to be safe, you need HIM to keep you safe.

- It's not that he wants to be overbearing, it's just... he's lost so much. He's on the paranoid side of delusion, he just doesn't want anything to hurt you, he can't take that anymore. The man has lost so many things in his life and has suffered psychologically because of it. He generally would keep people kinda distant to begin with, so if you earn a place in his affection he's going to be insanely protective. Rejection wise, interestingly, he just kinda... ignores it. In one ear, out the other. He's one who can convince himself that you'll come around, even if it takes a lot of self-convincing, as he's not super delusional enough to automatically believe it. He'll likely just correct you, tell you no, he's just a guardian figure for you, nothing more.... for now.

- He can summon a pretty intimidating presence when he tries to, and he clearly has a ferocity deep down when he needs it. Enough to drive off people - and that's how he'd utilize it, he'd be one of the ones that very quietly and subtly, slowly scares off any perceived competition. He's not blatantly aggressive - no, he'd be very subtle as he goes about getting rid of people that he sees as being in his way. You won't know it's him, he won't be aggressive towards anyone in front of you -- when you're there, he smiles and nods and treats your friends very well. Hell, they probably won't even know who's behind it, they'll receive subtle warning signs, likely written things, with clear threats to back off. He's smarter than to directly confront them, and have them know who he is. He can eliminate them without needing to do it personally. He's not entirely above killing, but it would be a last resort.

- What's really difficult about him is that, even in a snapped, delusional state, he maintains his demeanor, the bored-sounding, laid back, low energy, and very competent, serious guy he usually comes across as. That's what ultimately will break your own mind -- usually, delusional yanderes are fairly obvious. It's clear they're out of their mind, their facial expressions and nearly hysterical mannerisms make it clear they're crazy and give you at least the reassurance that you're in the right and that they've lost it, that you need to be saved from them, not the world. With Kakashi... you feel like you're the crazy one. After all, he maintains that same demeanor he always has, he doesn't look, sound, or seem crazy or delusional in any way. He just sounds exasperated when you panic, like you're being ridiculous, as if you're a whiny brat and he's just... tolerating your tantrum. He says everything so calmly, in such a matter-of-fact manner, you can't help but feel like... maybe he's right. Maybe everyone was really out to get you. Maybe you really were too naive to see it. Maybe he really is just looking out for you, and maybe you really are being horribly ungrateful. Maybe you're crazy and he's perfectly sane, and once you start to believe that, he'll feed that idea until you're too afraid to leave even if he let you.

- Sex wise, I feel like he'd actually be very sweet and loving about it all, definitely a passionate kind of lover. As time goes on and he gets more comfortable, though, he gets into anything that gives a sense of control and possession. People who are into bondage on the giving end often like having a sense of control, of stability, and it puts them at ease, and he's no different. He likes the feeling of knowing you can't move, even if you try, of having complete and total dominance over you. Would definitely get into shibari -- not only does it contribute to the control factor, but he likes the aesthetic beauty of it all, seeing the bright red rope in contrast against your skin.

- Possession ties into marking kink -- bites, hickeys, scratches, he just wants to see evidence of him on you. It's reassuring, even. Edging as well, he likes feeling like he controls not only your environment, but your very body itself. He can get rough if he's in a certain mood, particularly stressed out from his responsibilities, and would probably very much be a brat-tamer as well, so don't piss him off... Unless, you know, you *want* him to get a lil rough with you.

No biggie, just me simping for Vincenzo's cinematography

I know it's probably getting annoying now but let me just say that Vincenzo was the first kdrama I ever watched and the reason I watched it after seeing so many gifs was not because of chayenzo, though they were obv a factor, but it was because of the sheer beauty of the gifs: the extreme close up shot of their shoes in that first kiss was gif that finally kicked my brain into gear, the goddamn intro scene ITS CGI BUT IT'S SO STUNNING and that is direction, choosing those shots and the details of the walls etc.

Time and time again I was floored by the stunning visuals in Vincenzo. I looked at a show and whispered "wow" to an empty room at the masterpiece and art of the way this show is filmed.

Seriously shows get filmed so similarly (yes, there are different styles, etc, but often I find the main focus of shows is the story, and you know you're watching something by the way the camera works) and the difference with the cinematography in Vincenzo is that it makes you feel present and immersed in everything.

That shot where Han seo dodges? It's shot straight on and the EMPHASIS of what just happened, which might just be random otherwise, isn't something that can go over your head because we see it hit the wall and fall behind the couch, and that close up shot speaks VOLUMES for his character's growth and ongoing abuse.

And then the parallel where he doesn't dodge it? ITS THE SAME COMPOSITION and that SENT ME fr I lost my mind.

This is the way I wish all shows were filmed, this is like reading a book: the camera is the narrator and tells the story, it's not just something to capture actions and words, it has to SPEAK to the viewer, and I'd honestly given up trying to find it in shows. But Vincenzo does it.

The Zumba dance of death scene was bloODY INCREDIBLE.

- ecu (extreme close up) on her bloody feet: she is NOT getting out of this.

- the overhead shot as she dances and burns is telling the viewer: look at this. Greed leads to painful, empty, lonely death. It's a goddamn warning and it shocked me when I was numb from the fucking goddamn begining of the episode which did not happen absolutely not let's ignore that.

- the way that both major deaths happened in lonely, empty warehouses, lit only by (1) the fire that is killing her (2) the sun rising, which brought death, so essentially both scenes were only lit by the things that killed, and that's so goddamn insanely amazing.

And don't even get me started on the colour composition holy shit.

Oops I wrote and essay.

Anyways and that's why I feel so strongly floored that we did not win best director. Not because the other shows were bad, or simply because I'm biased, but because there is no way anything held a candle to the narrative decisions. This show wouldn't have been even half as good even though every other part of it is 🤌 🤌🤌🤌, without the creative team and the director.

#VINCENZO #i shall never shut my mouth #I WILL BE ANNOYING FOREVER IM SORRY

dad hcs with your top 3 HQ boys? 😚

my top 3 haikyuu boys? #exciting 😌

KUROO, IWAIZUMI AND ATSUMU AS DADS

KUROO

he’s always wanted 3-4

growing up the only child in the household with his grandparents and father got a little lonely when he wasn’t with kenma

so you, y/n his wonderful and beautiful wife, fill his world with much more joy by bearing his children

you have 3 so far and phew good luck

two boys and a girl

kuroo has already started teaching your kids his trademark catchphrases

to your despair your youngest son’s first words had been “oya oya”

your face dropped while kuroos hyena laugh roared through the house

“wHY WOULD YOU TEACH HIM THAT”

“because bokuto dared me??”

for the first few weeks all you can hear is little mutters and screeches of “oya oya” and it’s driving you ✨insane✨

kuroo is however good with kids

and he will put a stop to it by giving your kid a pacifier to keep quiet

kuroo would love if his kids took an interest in volleyball

but he won’t force it on them

he’ll support whatever they want to do

your kid wants to try ballet? kuroo will buy several pairs of specially made shoes

art? kuroo is more than happy to hire a whole studio for the day

swimming? he’ll have a pool installed in your house

material arts? kuroo will find a ninja to train your kid

he wants to be the best dad he possibly can for his kids

i’m not saying he plays favourites but he does have a soft spot for his little girl

he will absolutely try and encourage her that boys are the worst and she shouldn’t date them until they get his seal of approval

he has a ridiculously high standard for the type of boy your daughter can date

you could be a high achieving graduate, astronaut in training, saved 36 old ladies on the street and a candidate for president

and kuroo would still be like

“is that it? 🙄”

good luck to your daughter then

he is there for every event

his whole schedule will be made around any birthdays, graduations, shows etc

he will make sure of it

he doesn’t care if he’s scheduled a meeting with the highest world leader

if that meeting falls on the same day as his kids sports game he will not be sat in an office chair but rather in the crowd cheering his kid on alongside you

he wants to give his kids the best in life but he also doesn’t want to completely spoil them

he was raised pretty normally so you and him agreed you should try to at least do the same

however when uncle kenma or uncle yaku babysits his kids 👀

“dad uncle kenma bought me a new pc!”

“uncle yaku bought me a pony!”

that’s it

kuroo will spoil tf out of your kids from time to time just to one up his friends

overall he is such a doting dad

yourself and the kids mean the absolute world to him

and he appreciates you to no end for bringing them into this world

together the two raise such humorous, perceptive and successful children

and he couldn’t be more proud of his family

IWAIZUMI

years of practically babysitting oikawa have prepared him for this

he has the patience levels built up

he is also extremely responsible and level headed

the two of you have 1 son who is 4 years old

the toddler has iwaizumi wrapped around his little finger

iwa denies this though

whenever your son misbehaves or makes a mistake (which is rare btw) iwa is looking down at him sternly

“s/n, you know better than this”

but all it takes it one pout and iwaizumi is all soft again and swoops your son into his arms

lmao i just know he’ll teach your son to insult oikawa

“say trash-y-ka-wa! that’s my boy!”

“iwa-chan stop teaching your baby to bully me i can’t even handle it from you alone 😩”

sometimes iwaizumi takes your son to work if you’re feeling particularly tired or have somewhere else to be

he definitely will wear on of those baby carrier harnesses

that’s kinda hot tbh

bokuto and hinata are all over your kid while iwaizumi is trying to train team japan

while he manages to get both players back over he notices his son is missing from the portable baby chair he brought with him

“omi omiiiiii look! baby germs!”

atsumu is running around with your son securely in his arms while sakusa is SPRINTING away from the blonde shouting profanities at him

needless to say, iwaizumi tries not to bring his kid along whenever serious training needs to be done

he will bring him to more laid back sessions though

iwaizumi is THE responsible dad of the year

he cooks, he cleans and he knows how to handle your son

by now your son has started to develop into his personality more

being around his calm and level headed dad has really rubbed off on him

he doesn't get too overexcited and knows how to behave well

there is something that bothers iwaizumi about your son though

his first words

“iwa-chan~”

iwaizumi’s face dropped when the familiar phrase left his sons mouth

“shittykawa i will FLY over to argentina to personally beat you up”

“it’s not MY fault s/n likes hanging out with his uncle tooru 😗”

oikawa is a doting uncle too

whenever he can he visits your family and spends time getting to know your kid

the nickname ‘trashykawa’ did happen to stick though

iwaizumi considered it fair now that your son called his best friend after the nickname he taught him

another dad who would like if his son took up volleyball, but won't force it

your kid does actually pick it up though

and he’s damn good at it

not to be clichè but he will like the position of ace the best

this is to your husband and bokuto’s delight

iwaizumi will be there for every game and will absolutely let him come to work with him more often as he gets older so he can watch pros up close

maybe one day your kid will end up on the very team his father trains

and he’ll be there alongside you cheering him on

ATSUMU

atsumu is blessed with the gift of twin daughters

hey, twins are in his genes it was bound to happen somewhere down the line

his girls are the most precious beings to him

other than you obv

to him, you are his heart, soul and everything inbetween

he treats his girls like princesses

like kuroo, boys are off the table

“oi if ya think you’re bringin boys home you can think again!”

“baby, it’s only their first day of preschool please calm down 😀”

unless these boys can beat him at setting, they’re not allowed within a 48 mile radius of your daughters

he will defo want you to bring them to his games

put them in personalised jerseys and he will be showing them off to his team and the crowd

every point he scores he’s pointing at you and your girls

“THAT ONE WAS FOR YOU MY PRINCESSES!”

when his team wins he will absolutely bring the three of you out onto the court and pull you all in for a tight hug and shower you all with affection for the world to see

your kids take a liking to sakusa believe it or not

they find his presence interesting in comparison to the other msby players

lmao sakusa will show your girls his flexible wrist trick and they’ll giggle in excitement

“uncle omi is so cool!”

hang on a minute

‘UNCLE’ omi???

atsumu is in shock

“how come’s ya nice to em and not to me omi omi?”

“they take after y/n more than you. they're not annoying and gross like you that’s why”

as he’s apart of the dedicated dad society, atsumu will make sure he’s there for every event he can too

if his games fall on the same day as an event with your daughters you can bet ur ass he is there as soon as his game is over

celebratory drinks with the team? not on his watch when his daughter has a dance recital

any moments he misses when he's playing an away match or can’t get out of training he asks you to record so he can watch it back multiple times later

probably cries when he watches your daughter win her sports match or perform in a dance show

his camera roll is FULL of pictures of you and your daughters

insists on posting them all so he can show the world what a beautiful and loving family he has

uncle osamu makes sure he tells your daughters embarrassing stories about their dad

“and then your dad turned around and told the girls to stop squealin like pigs when they were only showin their support”

“wth dad that's so rude 😠”

“thEY MESSED UP MY SERVE SAMU SHUT UP”

your family is raised super close

atsumu always knew he wanted both of your families involved with his daughters upbringing so he makes sure everyone is included and the two girls are familiar with their whole family

it’s important to him that they’re familiar with his volleyball family too

he loves the fact they're so comfortable and familiar with his teammates

uncle bokuto and uncle hinata are a hit with the twin girls

but its uncle omi who takes the crown for favourite

there is never a dull moment in the miya family

and atsumu couldn’t ask for better people to be involved with his daughters upbringing

requests are open!!

I have this new headcanons and I'm curious to know what you think about it

Okay so: Percy is the Favorite brother-in-law

Fleaur loves him because he is the only Weasley (except of Bill obv) who can speak French and he is learning it for her

Hermione loves him because sometimes you just need to talk with someone as smart and cultured as you. They don't always agree .. But that's okay because it just makes their discussions more interesting

I think Angelina may also like him... He married Oliver right? And I think she feels kind of excluded too in that family, they love her and she knows it but.. She married her ex dead boyfriend's twin. It would always be strange. Especially because for everyone Fred and George were a unic thing... Even their mom couldn't distinguish them. But I think that Percy knew them as individuals more than anyone else. I think he knows she didn't married George because he was Fred's twin. And she knows it

And maybe one of Charlie's dragons has a big soft spot for Percy too😂

I can see him visiting his brother in Romania and this little cute thing.. Or a big terryging one? (Idk.. I like both versions ahahaha)

Anyway.. The dragon just wants to stay always with him😂

@bennyhawk02 sorry for the late response cuz I was having a long vacation and my wifi is soooo poooor.

Jeez I got the same head canon tooo! Like everyone thought they kinda dislike Percy and thought he's a bit annoying, but actually they do love and trust him very much. Percy is like an invisible tough wall that they can always lean on it.

Bill, Fleur and Hermoine although are the smartest in the family, somehow they still like to get some suggestion from Percy. Like Bill and Hermoine will want to learn some social skills from Percy just to make sure they have a good relationship with their colleagues. For Fleur, it's all about the language topic. As my opinion, Percy definitely a multilingual person and Fleur is very proud of herself being Percy's only student.

Then comes to George. The death of Fred is a turning point between the relationship of George and Percy. Although it might be a little awkward, George has patience to listen all the suggestions and ideas from Percy just to let the shop runs more better. He and Percy even will stuck in their lab just to invent some cool stuffs. This is their unique way to heal the scars in their heart and also George's redemption to Percy. The moment he lost Fred makes him realised he can't afford to lost another sibling again.

And then is Angeline, as you said she definitely feels like no matter how hard she tries, she still feels like an outsider. Percy will sacrifice himself and play few times of Quidditch with her (yup he def flies very low that makes Angeline laugh at him, but he don't care cuz that's his purpose). Idk what Percy will do, but he definitely has his own ways to comfort Angeline.

Well, about Ron and Ginny they definitely took Percy as their role model, even he had done some mistakes and they had make fun of him. Ginny will always gives Percy the VIP tickets so that he can be her team free Quidditch coach (this act almost drives Oliver). Ron likes to bother Percy with his own family issues, like he and Hermoine fighting agains. Percy looks like he's enough of those family lil fights but deep in the heart he feels very happy that Ron willing include him into his life (you know what I mean)

Then it's Harry and Charlie. In my own opinion, surprisingly they don't talk to each other that much. Percy always has faith in Harry, he knew this boy, his brother-in-law had gone through so much that he can already carries the world with his back in a very young age.

Charlie, Percy used to be so close with his brother back when they study in Hogwarts, but since Charlie moves to Romania their relationship slowly faded. The time they reconnected is Percy heard form some dragon trainer that Charlie was facing some academic problems about one of his dragon project. Somehow, Percy found out he had some data about the species that Charlie used as his observant target. From that day begin, Charlie always like to discuss his academic problems with Percy, cuz Percy to him is like a library.

Among the nephew and niece? He definitely their favourite uncle, looks a bit strict, sounds a bit serious but will always help them to prank their own family members.

Percy definitely is everyone's fav person in the family, even though none of them (except Fleur) would admit. Whenever I think about this, it just makes me so happy hahahahahahah.

Captain America: Civil War

A joint review...

After the respite of Ant-Man last week, Civil War was a lot. It’s a lot more serious for longer periods of time than previous Marvel films, and I don't think either of us had appreciated just how bleak it does feel at times. That being said I think we both enjoyed it, is that the right word? But let’s start with the main question:

Team Cap or Team Iron Man?

@cassandrafey:... Team Cap (she said with regret, through gritted teeth)

@becksxoxo: Obvs Team Cap.

So we agree, that's it, that's the review.

We do think there should be governance, someone in charge, but given the previous record of management teams there is reason to be very wary of this, given the HYDRA bother as Cass so charmingly put it. Perhaps it should be more collaborative between them as a group and the UN or whoever is doing the pointing at the time. And there were times when we think this was nearly put in place, little moments when you think a breakthrough will occur but then they go and balls it up again. It was a shame, because Steve and Tony seemed to be talking more, a point we have brought up time and time again, but they never quite made it work.

Anyway, it’s a difficult question to answer so let us simply push it aside in the same way that all of the characters in the film did, and go and talk about them instead.

TEAM CAP

Let us begin with an assessment of our fellow team mates in this movie before we scope out the rivals for our abandoned airport grudge match. And what a team they are! Hoo boy!

Steve Rogers/ Captain America

Well there is only one place to start when you are on a team, and that is with the Captain. It is a new experience for Cass to be on Steve’s side, and she isn’t sure how much she likes it. Nevertheless, she did almost word for word type out a speech that Steve then echoed about Tony feeling so guilty that he actively needs the buck to stop with someone else, so that he can start to function reasonably. So maybe we are not so different after all, and I just have to live with that appalling notion now I suppose.

Becks thinks that Steve believes he is doing the right thing, and maybe feels more than most that the people he is doing the right thing for have actually turned out not to be the right people. And he wouldn’t be wrong would he? They’re riddled with Hydra at every turning.

What we do feel is that Steve is a bit stuck in time, and this annoys Cass (much more than Becks), because I feel like this is the root of a problem with bringing the team together. I don’t think that Steve has really embraced the idea of friends and a life in the present - he’s going through the motions but he is desperate to grab on to any link to the past. Becks feels that this is human nature, and that if he didn’t always go back to Bucky perhaps he wouldn’t have fought so hard or would have lost some purpose. To which Cass agrees, but also thinks a balance can be reached that doesn’t leave him mired in the 40′s - for his own good as well as others.

“Your pal, your buddy, your Bucky.”

Steve becomes all consumed with Bucky as soon as his name passes Rumlow’s lips, as he has in every film before (and why the his ending make such a mockery of the whole series, but I digress - now is not the time for that conversation) and immediately goes on the offensive to find him and protect him. A contentious point all round, but its nice that he believes in his friend.

Sam Wilson/ Falcon

We love Sam. (Cass is typing this and she DEFINATELY loves Sam but I think Becks does too). He’s great in the opening fight, and we love to see him using the wings as a weapon as well as a tool. And as a shield, which maybe Steve should think on as they certainly give more coverage than his little dinner plate. He also carries Steve into the battle at the beginning and this raises a lot of questions. How does he lift him so easily for one? As a super soldier, we are assuming Steve is heavy. And with his arms out for the wings, how does he carry him? Cass hopes bridal style (perhaps in that wedding dress Steve should have come out of the shop in in The First Avenger, Becks hopes by the ankle - all the better to yeet you with). Well, however he does it, it certainly accounts for how he got those arms. Mmm, biceps.

He is Steve’s friend, and so a lot of his viewpoints will be skewed to Steve’s way of thinking, but we think he was genuinely shocked when Nat, who had been through the events of The Winter Soldier with him, didn’t seem to agree that the Accords might not be a good idea. It also felt like his voice got pushed down a lot more with him being a newer member of the team - which is a shame as Sam makes a lot of sense.

His attachment to Redwing is cute, and we love it.

Sam sacrifices himself for Steve and Bucky. He sticks with them, and is branded alongside them as criminals, and when this is first pointed out in the underpass in Bucharest he does look shocked. But he sticks with them because he believes its the right thing to do, and wants to fight alongside his friend. Its these creeping examples of doing the right thing, even when its difficult, that lead him to the next Captain America.

Wanda Maximoff

How old is this girl? We don’t know and we’re not sure that the writers do either. There are hints she’s a teenager, yet Marvel keep sticking her in mini skirts and thigh high boots, and we’re sure that blossoming relationship with Vision seems a tad creepy. There was also a bit of upskirting, and minor or not that felt weird. If she is meant to be older let her have some adult responsibilities and say over her life! Either way, a corset isn’t suitable active wear. All this being said we love to see her in action, blowing shit up, and she was clearly the only one with her head properly in the game during the playground brawl at the airport.

Although things went a bit wrong at the start, we did enjoy watching Nat and Steve teaching her the ropes of undercover work. We did miss that there weren’t more scenes of them training up the new team after Age of Ultron. We would have even settled for some little montages. Feed us Marvel.

“You locked me in my room.”

So she doesn’t really do much in the film, but the bits she does do hold hellah significance. She is blamed for the deaths in Laos, and feels very guilty for it. Her actions are rammed down their throats at the little presentation given by General Ross. Her interment in the compound is a catalyst for ending talks once again between Steve and Tony, and she does get some good hits in during the fight. Seeing her back in a cell, mirroring the one she’d been kept in by HYDRA, was also a strong image when Tony came for his little visit to the Raft.

Clint Barton/Hawkeye

We’re both big converts to Clint. We used to side with T’Challa

I’m Clint

I don’t care.

But on this rewatch, big fans. He plays a pivotal role, comes out with some useful information and some fun one liners. We’re looking forward to his die hard series this Christmas.

He also does a good job rounding up the team for Cap, delivering them safely. Very efficient. We enjoyed his and Nat’s little interaction on the battlefield, and Wanda calling him out on it.

His speech on the Raft is very on point. He was not a happy bunny, and calls out the failings of the system that has just been put into place. And we do not blame him.

Scott Lang/Ant-Man

At least one of us knew that Scott would be coming, but it may still have been a great shock to Cass to see who Sam Wilson knew. I think we both agree that Scott’s little introduction to the team was a much needed oasis of comic relief. The way he made Wanda smile when he said she was great, and how he physically shook Steve with his hand shake was great (as a hand shake expert Becks very much approved). We did also enjoy how quickly Sam shut down talk of their last meeting.

He did great in the fight, busting out all his fancy moves. Not tearing himself in half, which Bucky seemed very concerned by (your new friends are weird Stevie), and getting inside Tony’s suit and being his conscience, two of our favourites.

It was sad to see him in the Raft, being back in prison for again doing the right thing must have been really hard for Scott.

Here’s a question, which would be worse? Being imprisoned in the Raft or in Azkaban?

@cassandrafey: Azkaban. The idea of being under the sea isn’t nice, but the idea of being surrounded by joy-sucking dementors is still worse, especially without Remus Lupin there to provide endless chocolate. Also if you were in Azkaban you would be a witch, but you wouldn’t be able to use your magic, and that would just be the most maddening feeling. Awful.

@becksxoxo: The Raft. I was depth charged that one time as a child and I would not care to be in an underwater containment facility again. Also sea monsters, specifically the meg. No. No thank you.

Well, what a cheerful question this was, ey? Really leavened the review with this one didn’t we!

Bucky Barnes

Poor old Bucky.

@cassandrafey: It’s just one thing after the other for him, but at least he has great hair.

Bucky gives us the feelings. All of the feelings. It’s very easy to sympathise and feel sorry for Bucky, because whilst to some extent being branded as a villain he is very much another victim in this whole situation. He hasn’t been in control of himself for years, and he’s clearly struggling to try to take back some control of his own mind whilst trying to work out who he actually is.

It’s also heart breaking watching him realise that The Winter Soldier is about to get activated again when he is put into his little shitty rollercoaster ride/ interrogation cage. His little lip wobbling as he begs Zemo to stop is just awful. But it is very conflicting as he then goes full blown murder rampage, and whilst we know that it is not what he would want, the truth of the matter is we love to see it. He comes flying out of that little cage looking about twice as big as before, and dear lord have mercy, it is good. Mmm beefy Bucky. We don’t know what they had that boy doing in pre-production, but we give thanks for it.

I think you know one of our favourite scenes in the MCU is the little car interaction with Sam.

Bucky: Can you move your seat up?

Sam: No.

They’re both so very cross, and so very very large.

Cass also heavily approves of Bucky’s choice of hideout location. She herself would hideout in Bucharest if she was on the lam. Although now she’s told all this she can’t, or maybe its a double bluff and she actually will. Who knows? Also why is Cass on the run? Questions, questions, questions...

@cassandrafey: Well, where would you hide?

@becksxoxo: I’m not going to hide, just let them kill me now.

He does have a little bit of happiness though. He gets to have a nice chat with Steve on the plane to Siberia, although we do question how many hotdogs they were knocking back in the 40′s. He also keeps a diary, with a little picture of Steve in it. How could you read out his diary Steve?! And nice that he shops local. Who knew that he would have something in common with Draco Malfoy - a wholesome love of a farmers market.

Also nice to see that he gets to join N-Sync in an all white outfit in Wakanda. ‘Baby bye bye bye’, he said, as he slid into the freezer for his own and everyone else’s safety.

Baseball Cap Chat with Becks and Cass

Becks: When was the last time you wore a baseball cap? Oh no you wear them quite a lot don’t you?

Cass: I do, but usually for running and not for reasons of being incognito. If anything, you would be more likely to know it was me.

Becks: You or Rafa Nadal. And I think he’s taller, so it’s not a good disguise. I don’t think as an adult I wore a baseball cap. I had a Green Day trucker hat, but I didn’t wear it much as my massive head can’t be contained.

And now on to the opposing team.

TEAM IRON MAN

Tony Stark/Iron Man

Tony Stark is not having a good time. Something unclear seems to have happened with Pepper, but they’re not together. He’s trying to work through past trauma, although sadly making new ones at the same time so he it making it harder for himself than it needs to be. It is sad to watch him, because he is so desperately trying to make amends, but is falling back into old habits of making decisions for people due to these overriding feelings of guilt and responsibility. Its a mess.

There are moments where he and Steve talk to each other and its not an argument. Little snippets where there is a hope of a breakthrough, but it soon collapses. There is too much history and too much brow beating for that to work.

Tony does go into full Dad mode at times, which we enjoyed. Yelling at the kids about the mess in the kitchen, and telling Steve off for breaking the Avengers.

Each of them, as it turns out, are quite easy to be manipulated if you know the right buttons to push. And Zemo knows. Tony finding out about how his mum and dad died is very sad to watch and catastrophic for the continuation of the team. Alongside that bombshell he feels betrayed by Steve.

We will also be referring to him as Tony Stank from here on out.

James Rhodey Rhodes

What a prick. There have been moments in films before where we have disliked him, but it has all come to a head in this one. What a sanctimonious dickhead. How many medals do you have? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MATTER?! Also you act like you’ve never done owt wrong, lecturing the rest of them, but we do seem to remember you handing that suit over to Justin Hammer who weaponised it against you, but sure, go off.

And we know we shouldn’t be glad you got paralyzed, but you did sort of bring it on yourself. Rhodey was the one to order Sam be knocked out of the sky, and it seems a little serendipitous that the shot that would have broken Sam took Rhodey out instead. Sam at least tried to save him, and did not deserve the wrath of Stark for what happened.

Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow

We are always surprised by the side that Nat chooses to take, although we’re not too sure why. We don’t think she has a very good time in the film. She’s on opposing side to those who she's closest with, and then gets a right earful from Tony when she helps Steve and Bucky escape. And after it is all over she too is forced to head for the hills.

She also goes to support Steve when she knows he's having a hard time. That is friendship, and it's sad that the friendships between all the Avengers get so tested throughout the film. Beyond the ethical questions of how they work, and who gets to punish who, the fraying of ties between them all is one of the harder bits of the film to swallow.

And as always though, very good hair and sass. We did also enjoy her fight tactic of just climbing people. We didn’t seem to really make many notes on Natasha, but we’re glad she’s there, she’s one of out favourites.

Peter Parker/Spiderman

Awww baby, like Bucky he gives Cass puppy vibes but in a very different way... We question Aunt May letting a stranger (even a billionaire stranger) be alone in a locked bedroom with your ward, but it all works out alright in the end we suppose.

“That guys a problem.”

He’s very excitable during the fight, just happy to be there. We enjoy his bants with Sam and Bucky. Becks also enjoys when Steve drops that walk way on him, but Cass does not condone this at all - spoilsport.

Its nice to see how excited he is about his new toys at the very end too, we’re looking forward to Spiderman next week, a little bit more cheeriness and fun.

Vision

Bleh Vision. He’s not our favourite. Obviously we don’t agree with his view point so that makes it difficult. He spouts statistics that may or may not have correlation, and he does Tony’s bidding without question. Also, ‘No one dislikes you Wanda,’ is no way to start a sentence. Its like when Windows updates and says all your files are where you left them, we presumed they would be but now you’ve said it like that it makes you wonder...

T’Challa/Black Panther

Another father related drama, ffs Marvel get a new plot device. And to be fair for most of the film we’re with Sam, seething in the back of that car.

“So you like cats?”

He’s quite aloof, and we know he’s just watched his dad get killed (but who hasn’t in the MCU?!) but he does switch around his view points quite quickly. Yey task force, actually no I’ll kill him myself, oh Zemo lets have a heart to heart, actually you can come round our house Bucky and we’ll sort you out. PICK A SIDE T’CHALLA. Also he grasses up Natasha, and you know what they say, snitches get disapproving blog posts written about them.

Well we’re sure we’ll warm to him again once we get to the Black Panther film in a few weeks time.

Baron Helmut Zemo

Zemo arrives in this film like Jack Nicholson in the Shining, quite the entrance. To be fair that man sort of had it coming, who lives somewhere where waterboarding is already set up? We know you’re on the run but there is no reason to live in such a torture hovel. Bucky seemed to have kept a tidy house. No excuse sir.

We enjoyed the scene where was doing his Russian homework, and lying to the housekeeper. Sneaky, sneaky, sneak.

As villains go, he is very efficient and smart. He doesn’t steal the other Winter Soldiers to fight against the Avengers to bring them down, he uses his brain to get them to implode from the inside, and he succeeds. And for that we should probably dislike him, but we don’t. You can see where he is coming from, and you have to applaud his ingenuity. As villains go, very good, sinister and orderly. Its a shame he didn’t have more screen time, but we know we shall see him again, so that’s not so bad. We also enjoyed him wiping the smug little smirk off of Everett Ross’ face at the end, you sir are not going to deck anyone.

We were going to write about his Bucky prosthetics but then it quickly fell into garbled mess so we have not included it. You’re welcome.

This was another difficult one to write. In hindsight the film does feel quite bleak, and stirs strong but conflicting ideas. This is also the last time we see them all together before Infinity War/Endgame, another joy that constantly haunts our minds.

We promise next week will be better. Cheerier, funnier and a bit more bright. Unless of course Spiderman isn’t as light hearted fare as we recall it being... Until next time, kids!
