to be perfectly honest, i’m real tired of mainstream media trying to make people sympathize with racist, abusive little white boys, forcing poc to sit and watch people who look like them be brutalized by said character while yt people sit and eat up their dumb little sob stories. and then we’re just expected to be okay with it because it’s “realistic for its time”, and when we complain about it we’re “overreacting”
i don’t give a fuck if it’s “realistic” y’all’s show deals with 15 year olds with superpowers and inter dimensional monsters and supernatural beings on an episodic basis. nothing about that screams “realistic” to me, so why does realism suddenly become so fucking important when it comes to mistreating marginalized communities.

We got spoiled (again) with the recent progress report! We now have an episode 3 preview video. Thank you Nemlei and Kit9! 🙏🏻
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Teenage Andrew and Julia!! They’re so cute. I assumed we’d see them in their teen years, plus I was wondering how Julia and Andrew started dating in the first place.
This could mean something or nothing at all, but Julia’s wearing a choker… guess who else wears one? 👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Uh oh. Well, we already knew Ashley didn’t like her… at all 💀.
Tumblr media
Something to keep in mind: When Ashley was little she hung around Nina and Julia (bottom left picture), but my guess is the only reason they hung out with her is because they wanted to get closer to Andrew. In a previous progress report there’s a screenshot of Andrew asking them if they could invite Ashley to sit with them at lunch sometime.
When you look at the bottom left picture, they’re happy and smiling while Ashley doesn’t look too thrilled. There’s flowers around them, but when it comes to Ashley one bounces off of her head. They hung around her, but clearly left her out. Thinking about the flashback scene of Ashley’s birthday, she brings up how her friends are always busy when she asks them for anything, even when she hasn’t said a date. So yeah, Ashley wasn’t treated very good by them.
Looking at the top left picture of Ashley and Julia labeled as “friends”, we can see there that Ashley doesn’t like her lmao. In the episode 3 preview video, it was pretty obvious Julia was crushing on Andrew, hard. So, even after Nina died, Julia probably still attempted to be “friends” with Ashley to get to Andrew. I could be wrong, but Ashley probably saw through her bullshit and knew what was up. Ooo I just know she was NOT happy. Especially because she already went through something like this with Nina crushing on Andrew.
Yeah, I’m not surprised that she tweaked out when Julia and Andrew started dating.
Tumblr media
Oh man. I think it’s safe to assume that the rumors in question are about them having an incesteous relationship. After Julia asks this, Andrew thinks to himself “(why in the ever loving fuck would she ask me this?)”. I asked myself the same thing lmao.
He says he heard about it, then Julia gets all flustered and nervous. I don’t think she asked it out of malicious intent. She also reassures him by saying that she thinks everyone knows that the rumors aren’t true, and that she wanted to let him know that in case he needed to hear it. (Technically they aren’t rumors, but that’s not the point 😂).
Now, let’s get into the most sinister part of the preview 🫣.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Holy shit 🧍🏻‍♀️. It’s time for the people who say Ashley is solely the problem to face the truth 🫣. I mean the look he’s giving her…. omg. He asked Julia out because he knew she liked him and could use that to his benefit. It’s a way to stop the rumors, so why not? Poor Julia :/.
I mean the flashback of them in his dream from ch. 2 was enough to prove to me that he never really cared about her, but now it’s right in front of our faces.
Andrew you manipulative mf 💀. I’ve always held the opinion that he’s just as bad, if not worse than Ashley is. We’re absolutely going to see this proven in ch. 3. His mask is going to fully come off.

You should do a never have I ever with colby and they are home alone and get bored so they decide to drink and play it and one thing leads to another where they end up sleeping with each other and confessing their love
Never have I ever…
Colby brock x fem!reader smut
Cw: smut, daddy kink, p n v, unprotected sex (be safe!), (breeding???), let me know if I missed anything!
A/n: omg I’m so sorry this took literal years to come out. This is my first time writing something like this so I’m sorry if it sucks. Also I began writing this before sam and Katrina broke up so that’s why they are together in this.
Tumblr media
“God I’m so bored” Colby groaned throwing himself onto the couch opposite of where I was sitting.
Sam and Katrina had gone out on a date night, leaving the house to Colby and me for the night. I was quite bored myself so I offered up a suggestion. “We could play a game?” he thought for a moment he decided it was a good idea. “Alright, like what?” he asked, “anything that involves drinking, I've had a looong week” I joked. Colby got off the couch heading into the kitchen, there was a rattling before he returned to the living room. In his hands were two wine glasses and a bottle of red. He sat on the rug of the living room and patted the floor telling me to join him. I sat down, still opposite him and he handed me a glass. “Do you have a game or are we just going to drink on the floor?” I teased. Colby smiled, filling my glass. “We're gonna play never have I ever, but instead of putting down a finger we take a drink” he said. “Ok, I'll start,” I said, thinking of what to say. “Ok never have I ever snuck out,” I said. Colby’s eyes widened slightly, “what!? You're kidding, you've never snuck out?” he asked in disbelief. I smiled knowing he would have to drink, “nope, I was a good kid” I stated. “Come on now drink up brock” I smirked, he rolled his eyes before taking a sip of his wine. “Ok, my turn, never have I ever..” he trailed off thinking of how he could get me to drink. “Called my friend to fake an emergency so I could get out of a bad date” he said with a cocky look on his face. “That's not fair you're targeting me!” Colby just laughed, signalling me to take a drink.
As the night went on Colby and I got progressively tipsier. “Ok ok I have one, never have I ever worn handcuffs for any reason” I grinned knowing for a fact that Colby has been in handcuffs, perhaps more than once. He narrowed his eyes at me before finishing off what was left in his glass. As he poured himself more he went his turn. “Since we’re playing that game, never have I ever given a lap dance” he said calmly. I felt my face flush as I took a sip from my glass. Colby’s eyebrows raised for a moment before dropping. “Never have I ever done it in a pool” I said, understanding what this had turned into. He drank from his glass before leaning closer to me. “ I find that hard to believe y/n/n” he said quietly. I returned the gesture, leaning in as well, not wanting to seem intimidated by our close proximity. “Just because you can't keep it in your pants and have to have sex everywhere doesn't mean everyone else does too” I teased. Colby scoffed, “ok, never have I ever masturbated when people are home” he said. I felt my face get hot, I didn't think anyone was home when I did, but I was wrong. “Well, never have I ever listened in on someone you creep” I fought. He just smirked, “it's hard not to when you make those pretty sounds” he whispered, staring into my eyes. My cheeks were on fire at this point, I looked away to avoid his intense gaze. “Never have I ever wanted to kiss you so badly..” I heard him say. I looked back at him our faces mere centimetres apart. I leaned closer closing the gap between us in a soft kiss. Colby held my head in place as he deepened the once-soft kiss turning it into something hotter.
We made out sloppily, the wine and game long forgotten. Colby began to lean me back onto the rug, moving his lips to my neck. He sucked deep bruises from my neck to my collar before kissing back up to my ear. My breath got deeper as my heart raced. Truth be told I've liked Colby for some time now and the fact that he was on top of me made my core heat up. I let out soft whimpers as I tugged on his shirt wanting it off. He pulled away ripping his shirt off of him before heading towards mine. He looked to confirm that I was ok with this, I nodded wanting to feel him already. He practically tore it off of me then my pants followed, adding to the mess of clothes in the room. Colby sat back admiring me. I began to feel self conscious and tried to hide my body. “Don’t hide yourself from me, you’re so beautiful”, he whispered as he grabbed my arms that were shielding my body. He kissed me passionately and his lips trailed down to my breast. He pulled my nipple into his mouth sucking harshly. I moaned at the feeling as he did the same to the other one. “God baby I’m so hard for you..I need to be inside you, I can’t wait any longer.” He groaned lining the head of his cock up with entrance. He pushed in slowly allowing me to adjust to his length. I hissed at the stretch as he bottomed out. “Fuuuck” he breathed into my ear. “Colby.. please..” I whined. “What baby? Use your words” he teased. “Please fuck me” I said looking into his eyes. Somehow his eyes got even darker at my words before he spoke. “Don’t have to ask me twice princess” he growled before thrusting hard into me. I moaned loudly as he rocked his hips into mine aggressively. I clawed at his muscular back as I started to loose grip on reality. He was so big and deep I could barely take it. “Oh god Colby yes!” I moaned as he pounded into me even harder. “Fuck yeah take it baby…god you’re so tight gonna make me cum” he groaned. “Want daddy to cum inside your pretty pussy? Make you mine?” He growled, speeding up. I moaned in response, my walls clenching around him as I grew closer to cumming. “Yes daddy please! G- gonna cum daddy so close!” I panted. “Me too baby it’s alright, let go cum on daddy cock” he grunted burying his face in my neck. I all but screamed his name as I came undone around his cock. He thrusted a few more times before I felt his warm cum fill me. He pulled out and held me close to him, both of us panting as we came down from our highs.
I closed my eyes as we laid there cuddled together on the carpet. “Y/n” he breathed into my neck. “Mhm” I mumbled, too tired to form a coherent sentence. “I I really like you. I have for a long time now” he confessed. At that my eyes snapped open. “Colby-“ I tried but he interrupted me. “I know you probably don’t feel the same and this was a one time thing bu-“ I cut him off smashing my lips onto his, kissing him with everything I had. All the pent up feelings I had towards him pouring out through the kiss. When we pulled away he looked at me confused , his lips red and swollen. “Colby, I like you too moron” I giggled. His expression went from confused to sheer love in a matter of seconds. “Good because now that I’ve had a taste I’m not letting you go” he promised, kissing me again.

Okay so you’re one of the only ones I’ve seen mention AJ recently so I wanted to come to you with this thought. You know the ‘write a prisoner’ website it went around tiktok for a little? Well I was thinking, in a universe where his ending is different (no spoilers just in case your other followers haven’t watched it) reader finds him on the write a prisoner site and they become penpals. You’re able to develop a genuine connection with one another and he’s able to talk and vent to you about everything that’s gone wrong/right in his life and you’re able to do the same thing. He ends up writing you sappy little poems and love notes eventually cause he realizes you are more than just a penpal to him. At some point you end up surprising him with an actual visit and it just solidifies his feelings being able to finally see you in person. If we’re going off of the mafia!au for him, then maybe he ends up having some of his men on the outside start to keep tabs on you..solely for protection purposes of course not because he wants to make sure he’s the only guy you’re talking to. There’s a couple videos I saw where the girls were still able to be surprised with flowers on the doorstep somehow by their penpal and I definitely feel like he’d do the same thing. There’d be a line in one of his notes afterwards of like ‘Did you get my little surprise, sweetheart? Just wait till you see how much I can really spoil you once I’m out of here.’ Ahhh maybe it’s just me that gets all giggly at this idea. Idk just a little thought 😅
main masterlist
OMG STOP I LOVE THIS SM!!
okay so ima break this up a bit because it’s easier for my brain to focus 😭 will start with looking at it from Aj’s character and then from if it was Mafia!Ani
(i’d also like to state idk how the ‘write a prisoner’ website works exactly but i feel like it’s pretty self explanatory so ima just roll with how it works in my mind)
Tumblr media
Aj: becoming pen pals with a prisoner and bonding is a lot easier then you went into the website thinking, you only really go in with the fact you’ll be speaking with a criminal. once you see his photo your interest is peaked (i mean how could it not look at him)
Tumblr media
anyway you guys start off with simple topics when messaging like favorite hobbies and Aj mentions to you that he has a love for playing the piano- (idk about you guys but there’s nothing hotter then a man who can play an instrument and play it well) maybe he even makes a promise to you that when he gets out he’ll play for you.
and Aj is such a sweetheart he so would write you poems maybe he starts off with something simple and sweet that can be interpreted in a friend way because for as confident as a guy he is you make him nervous. he only started writing you poems once you two where close enough for him to feel safe and be open with his thoughts and how he got into this situation. and honestly you don’t think he’s to bad of guy after all he never went out of his way to kill anyone during a heist and he always made sure to donate a percentage to charity organizations, so you’re able to push the fact he’s a criminal aside.
as your relationship with him progresses and his friendly poems slowly turn into something more you realize how badly you want to visit him. to see his pretty face in person (even if it is behind a glass frame) and to hear the voice you’d been imagining in your head. so with all the courage you can muster you do some digging and make plans to surprise him. Oh boy are you grateful you went through with it- seeing him in person was almost surreal. somehow he was more handsome in person and furthermore his gravely voice was definitely hotter then you ever could of imagined. he’s a smooth talker, seemingly more bold in person then he was through a screen (which shocked you since with most people it’d be the opposite). oh and when he sees you… sees your smile- the way you flutter your lashes when listening to him speak- he knows he’s done for, knows that there’s no one else he wants more in his life and even more importantly he cannot wait for his release date.
you make the effort to visit him as often as you can…
Mafia!Anakin: we all collectively agree Ani is a possessive man- even if he doesn’t always show it but Mafia Ani, oh that man isn’t afraid to show he’s possessive in fact as far as he’s concerned he owns you. so to no one’s surprise he 100% has men on the outside looking after you. making sure you’re safe, single unbothered by those around you.
Anakin has connections everywhere, i mean he’s the top boss. so if he wants to surprise you with something he will, and he’s got the money for it so honestly what’s stopping him?
waking up and getting ready to start your day only to here your doorbell go off, opening your front door to see a huge bouquet of flowers. it really confuses you at first- i mean you don’t really talk to other guys (probably because every time you did they suspiciously disappeared- if you had their number and messaged them all they’d say is they moved away) so who are they from. taking them inside and seeing a note on the ground that must of fallen out of the bouquet your question is answered.
‘Hope you like them Pretty girl’
it’s not even signed but you know exactly who it’s from. of course you confront him at your next visit, and once you do all he does is give you a sly little smile through the glass as you both hold the phone next to your ears.
‘just wait till you see how much i can really spoil you once i’m out of here’
ugh that resonantes with me sm 😩 he 100% would say that and then swiftly move the conversation along as you blush silently, something about how he said it or maybe it’s the look in his eyes that leaves you flustered.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i think i ranted a bit to much about this 😀 my apologies huns 😭 but anyways you’re so real for this and thank you for dropping it in my asks 🫶🏼
you’re actually my first ask too so 🤭🤭 thank you for the absolute serotonin boost this gave me Xx <3

the video started with you zooming into hamzah's back. he wasn't aware of your recording until he turned to face you.
"oh you're recording now," he lets out a chuckle, eyes looking up at you and not on the camera.
the next clip shows you and hamzah in the airplane, he was wearing his sony headphones while you had your wired earphones on. your head was on his shoulder and you had a hand wrapped around his bicep.
you smile at the camera then glance at him before squeezing his arm gently for him to look at the camera. he looks down at you and you were smiling at the camera, he smiles at you instead of the camera.
you proceeded to talk to the camera while hamzah listened to his music, your head still on his shoulder which he didn't mind.
during the flight, you ended up falling asleep on hamzah. he put the armrest up and slowly removed your hand from his bicep, letting you rest on his shoulder with his arm around you. he turned your camera on and showed you sleeping before he started making goofy faces at the camera.
the next clips were montages. it shows you and hamzah walking around lax then in the taxi you show the road before turning the camera to hamzah who was asleep.
“okay, so today, we’re going to the oscars!” you exclaimed.
you were already dressed up, seated in the car. hamzah was beside you but wasn’t completely seen in frame. “what movie do you think will win?” you showed hamzah and he was fiddling his fingers.
“i hope barbie wins,” he chuckles, looking between you and the camera.
as the night and recording went on, hamzah couldn’t remove his eyes off you. he was grateful he was the one filming you when you were posing for the carpet, it was even worse when they reached out for you to do the glambot. he was in awe. it was like seeing you in your element and he was able to capture it on camera for your vlog.
when you two entered the hall, you were now holding the camera and both your mouths formed into an o as you looked around the venue. you flip the camera while you continue talking about the celebrities you’ve just seen.
“oh my fucking god, we were able to talk to ariana greenblatt from barbie.” you said excitedly, almost tripping on the steps, hamzah immediately caught you, his hand wrapped around your waist.
you mutter a soft thank you before returning to the camera.
“she told us that she loves to watch us, said she loved my vlogs so much,” as you said this, the clip of you and ariana pops up on the screen. “and she also said the slushy virus got to her.” you giggle as you look up at hamzah, who was looking around for the seats assigned.
off camera—your hand was wrapped on hamzah’s arm almost the whole night, trying to get warm as it was a bit chilly inside the hall.
you start recording but your hands were shaking from how cold it is. hamzah takes both your hands in his and rubs them together, trying to make you warm but when you were still shivering, he takes off his blazer and wraps it around your shoulders.
“that better?” your faces were so close to each other, you could feel his breath fanning over your face.
you feel heat rising to your cheeks as you nod, looking away from him and returning your focus on the awarding—completely forgetting about how your camera was recording everything.
at the end of the video, you were still wearing hamzah’s blazer.
“that was sooo cool, i hope you guys enjoyed this video. some of the clips were filmed by the fantastic hamzah,” you said as you wiggled your eyebrows at the camera.
“i love you guys, see you next video!” you blow a kiss to the camera then it ends.

Omg pls frat!Peter but it's enemies to lovers and he gets all cocky when you hook up like: so that's how to shut you up?
this is frat!peter fun but ISN'T in our trouble/peter timeline!
If sororities weren’t so backwards you wouldn’t have this issue. 
You weren’t allowed to throw parties, but you could host a party at a fraternity. The worst part was that the chosen frat, the one that every party was thrown at, was Sig Nu. The chapter president from Sig Nu and your sorority had been loyal to each other for decades, the tradition continues. 
Sig Nu wasn’t even bad, their brothers were actually fairly progressive. But there was one member that got under your skin like no other. Peter Parker wasn’t a bad person by any means, but something about him knew the exact buttons to push that would send your blood pressure rising for no good reason. 
Not to mention he was utterly attractive; undoubtedly the prettiest human you’ve ever seen. 
It makes his attempts to rile you both frustrating and amusing.  
Frustrating because he picks on you and no one else, and his pokes shouldn’t bother you but they do. Amusing because he picks on you and no one else, and he looks so goddamn delicious when he’s giving you a cocky grin because he’s just so proud when he makes you tick. 
You’ve done your best to fight back, and act unbothered. Sometimes you act like you’re better than him. That facade went to shit in under an hour, it’s almost impressive. 
“I’ll kill you if anyone finds out,” you suck in a breath, “I mean it, Parker. No one, understand?” 
Peter kissed down the center of your throat, “lie back for me, baby.” Your stomach lifts with the affectionate term, knowing it was said out of horniness and not out of care eases it. 
Feeling swallowed in his sheets you stretch out, Peter follows you, his mouth skimming by your shirt to lift it up gently, wet kisses dotted to the skin, you feel like you’re on fire. 
Hissing when his teeth nibble at the skin below your belly button you reach down to grip at his hair. Peter’s fingers dip into the waistband of your pants and slowly tugs them down, you buck your hips in anticipation and to help. 
“Just because I kissed you it doesn’t mean I like you or anything, just so we’re clear. And I don’t know what you heard from Booker, but I never said-” Peter shut you up with a kiss, it made your head spin like no other. 
“You didn’t have to say anything, I figured out how to shut you up.” 
He’s right, you suck in a breath as he kisses down your front, teasing at your underwear, skipping and going straight to your inner thighs. Sucking and nibbling at the skin you tug at his hair, his lips slowly drag up, his teeth pulling at the waistband of your painties. 
“You want to be my enemy so bad, but I’m about to fuck you shy.”

i haven’t seen anybody talk about this but aziraphale’s decision and the end of s02 in general in terms of series arc and character development make a lot more sense if you think about avatar the last airbender and what zuko went through.
zuko’s arc is all about struggling to escape his upbringing, about de-programming himself from the idea that what the fire nation is doing is good and right. (sound familiar?) he goes through several crisis’ of faith, and with the help of his uncle, by the middle of book 2 it seems like he’s making good progress; we see him living in ba sing se, helping run the tea shop, going on dates, being a standard boy. (again, sound familiar?) but then azula (cough cough the metatron) comes. and all those things he thought he’d pushed down/dealt with come screaming back to the surface and he ends up siding with her to conquer the city, betraying his uncle and the gaang in the process. in fact, it looks like azula has killed the avatar and all hope is lost. kind of shocking ending right? what a cliffhanger! so devastating!
in book 3 zuko returns to the fire nation, a conquering hero. HE (azula says) has killed the avatar! he has restored his honor! his father welcomes him with open arms. the entire country celebrates the return of their prince. everything he has been working for since ep 1 is happening. so he should be happy right?? WRONG. he absolutely hates it. he’s angry, he’s bitter, he doesn’t know why but he knows something is off. he gets invited to a war council meeting, sits at his father’s right hand….and realizes being the perfect prince isn’t HIM. Living up to the expectation of who his father wants him to be instead of who he actually is is not his destiny. So he leaves the fire nation (again), this time of his own free will, and goes to help the Avatar. And it’s HIS CHOICE. He was offered everything he thought he ever wanted and has been trained to long for and CHOSE to leave it. which is so much more powerful than doing something because you’ve been forced into it with no other options.
and THIS is what Aziraphale has to do. he’s zuko at the end of book 2. he thought he’d come to terms with being an outcast from heaven (not Fallen like crowley but still in heaven’s bad books thanks to s01), but he hasn’t, not really. there’s still a part of him that believes that all the bad things heaven has done happened because he didn’t have the power to do it the right way. he doesn’t know what crowley knows. so he goes back. and it’s a huge betrayal. but the thing is, he NEEDS to live through getting everything he ever thought he wanted to realize that it’s not actually what he wanted at all. he needs to be able to finally escape heaven and if he doesn’t go back the what ifs will always be hanging over his head. he needs to be the one to tell heaven to fuck off and finally chose crowley in no uncertain terms. without crowley there. without crowley rescuing him. HE needs to do it.
and frankly that’s why I’m EXCITED for s03. because zuko is one of my all time favorite characters and atla is one of my all time favorite shows and if we can get that level of emotion and development from our two ineffable idiots??!!! OMG it’s going to be AMAZING!! bring on bamf! aziraphale. bring on the angst. bring on the big actually romantic kiss and gesture (that kiss we got was incredible and game-changing but so so desperate; we deserve a soft passionate one please and thank). bring on the second coming. neil always said s02 was the lead up to the good omens sequel aka s03. and what a brilliant and devastating lead up it’s been. but it will allll be worth it when our boys are reunited, when az comes to crowley and fully apologizes (we need many many dances), when he finally catches up to where crowley has been in terms of their relationship, when they are truly on equal footing at last. i am so excited to see david and michael play that out with their brilliant brilliant faces. we’re gonna be crying again, but in a good way, I FEEL it. LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!

“After the games, it would be so easy to point the finger at you and call you dangerous and insane.” MY GIRL IS THE LEAST DANGEROUS ONE IN DISTRICT 12- HOW DARE THEY!! (unless she has “salt”, i can’t really blame her)
“you didn’t have much of a choice if you wanted to live.” hmm, isn’t that just the best?
i mean this in the most affectionate way possible, i love seeing coryo blaming himself for things that happened to her when he was only partially responsible.
she went from treating coryo as coriolanus to treating herself as coriolanus and i love that.
she really has all the plays memorised, hasn’t she?
sejanus, my beloved <3 he will never get the jokes and the quotes but that’s okay. in his defense, how was he supposed to know that referencing and talking about plays help her?
“Okay, now, this is the hard part.” [that “what do you mean?!” jennifer lawrence video]
“Political Science” disappointed but not surprised.
on one hand i know lennox learning that his sister is leaving for capitol with coryo would be a problem even though he’s more likely to understand the reason why, on the other he didn’t get to say goodbye 🥲🥲.
she didn’t include cole to her thoughts about mayfair and billy taupe- i seriously need to know what happened with him.
lucy gray crying for billy taupe is making me emotional for some reason. she didn’t deserve that.
coryo, for the love of god, please stop progressing the games in moments of panic. please.
well, money solves everything.
hiiii bestie i’ve missed you!! (sorry again ab your phone btw omg)
1. SHE’S LITERALLY THE SWEETEST LIKE THEY WOULDNT DARE (but commander hoff absolutely would if they couldn’t find anyone else to blame, it would either be coryo and spruce bc fingerprints or HER, and coryo couldn’t have either as an option)
2. story of her damn life at this point 🥲
3. no bc ME TOO. he keeps flipping on it too bc he’s like “yeah i kinda ruined your life but now at least we have each other, right?” and it’s the sweetest and scariest thing (for both of them). once again, i feel bad for him 😔
4. SHE TOTALLY HAS OH MY GODDD. like babe pls for just a moment consider that things you can’t control are not your fault 🥺
5. literally and apparently i have such a thing for writing r with a near photographic memory, i.e ‘in this life or the next’, the entire concept of this series too,,, omg idk what it is i just love it it’s so fun
6. sejanus is just trying his best HAHAHA. he’s like “okay so as far as i know we’re in a bit of a rush… why are we telling confusing jokes?”
he’ll get it someday, just that day is not today hahaha
7. BAHAHAHA NO LITERALLY
8. yeah 😔 my apologies but he literally only has one goal in life and when coryo sees something he wants, he’s gonna have it.
9. LENNOX BABYYYY
listen,, i had a large internal battle about whether or not he would wake up this was SO hard to decide, but i do think he literally would have put himself in the way of her getting on that train and it would have ended very badly for all of them. but don’t worry, she’ll write them every day :) (will he respond? that’s another question. i feel like it will take him a while to not be angry)
10. the good news is you’ll find out in the next part 🤪
11. okay thank you bc i can’t honestly see lucy gray being like “im done with his cheating ass fr” and then being genuinely unmoved by his death. she talked a big game, but even when she said that r knew that it wasn’t true. he was so much more than an ex to her and i think that’s a little glossed over in the movie
12. THE WORST PART IS HES SO GOOD AT IT LMAO. he literally does it again in a future chapter i’ve already written lol
13. sejanus is like *sigh* “if it works, it works.”

Story quest thoughts!!!
Biggest impression I got from the quest is that the team has a direction for where they want to take the story. Which like finally. The quests being called “beginning of the end” really signifies to me that they’re not gonna keep stalling with the story anymore. The stakes are going up and it really feels like we’re nearing the end of the main story quests, at least the story we’ve been following.
Speaking of stakes, omg we actually bombed the DC headquarters. Went over this in a previous post but like. Sso has NEVER made a previously permanent area inaccessible. Im gonna miss the platform and emo crust-Justin (Gone but not forgotten❤️) but honestly? This was such a great way to make the scale of the battle so much larger. Also it does make sense to me that the HQ never actually drilled for oil. Dark core has other establishment that I’m sure were actually doing legit business, but since all the workers on the oil rig are robots anyway and it’s the location of the portal, it makes sense that they reserve the HQ for just the magic shenanigans.
Anne never hesitating to use her powers in the most dangerous way possible will never cease to be funny to me. Go queen commit whatever atrocities you need to. But I honestly think everyone was pretty well written in terms of dialogue. Anne takes a major risk with her powers, and it results in her getting the revenge she wanted. Alex isn’t only used as an engine for comedy, and I really like the bit where she expresses remorse for leaving us to face the dark riders on our own. Linda gets a lot more screentime than I expected, and she really reminds me of her book counterpart in these quests. The DR have nearly killed her so many times and she’s just not afraid of them at this point. She has this confident assertiveness to her that we don’t really see as much when she’s talking to friends, outside of short quips. Lisa is the only one who didn’t get that much through these quests, but I’ve kind of gotten used to that at this point. I can project my headcannons onto her regardless
Surprisingly I was also really fond of the soul horses this time! Concorde and Tincan had some really nice ominous foreshadowing to their dialogue (Runestones hasnt been used since WHAT dark times Tincan???????) and both Meteor and Starshine had some fun dialogue
The DR are always just so great. You don’t understand I love Jessica more than anything in this world. Her telling Katja to “do the thing” and it’s just them riding over an already iced river is absolutely wonderful. And oh my god the ENDING. Its so cinematiccccc. Mr sands is back after what. 7 years?? Insane. The three hits on the tree, the glowing red runes of the hammer, Sabines full name of general Malumi, Erissa sommersaulting out of the portal LIKE. The questline was short but it was so packed with new story developments. The soul riders think theyve won while the dark riders welcome their fourth general come onnn.
So Darko is dead right? Like if they were gonna bring him back they would at this point. I do wish they found a way to integrate him here, and if not that introduce him earlier in the game. I don’t really care that much about him as a character, but him being introduced as relevant, killing Elizabeth and then never being talked about again isn’t really the conclusion I want.
But overall I really liked the quests. Everyone felt in character, we got really impactful cutscenes, and the story is progressing in a way thats both natural and really exciting. I can’t wait to see whats gonna happen now that the HQ is gone and the dark riders are complete.

MY SDC 5 Episode 11 thoughts 💭
I can’t believe we’re down to the last episode before the finals. for all the excitement of yibo joining this season ( and my personal bias towards this show ), I feel like it went by too fast. So I just had to write down my favorite moments from tonight. It was excellent because, well, it was all battles. The heart & soul of this show will always be dance battles and how raw it is. Those moments really come across the screen especially to the audience, even if we’re not there physically.
Tumblr media
SPOILERS AHEAD SO BEWARE. ❌
How can I make this without applauding the one & only - Sean. I swear. From Day 1, this kid got me. He did so well in all the survival battle rounds and I am so thankful for Poppin C cause he saved him to get through to the Finals. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
and I didn’t know they were familiar with each other, but since they both do popping, it makes sense. It’s so cuteee!
Tumblr media
The part about them talking about their regrets and wishes was also cool cause it gave us an insight to their personal lives. I’m cackling at Zyko & Dykens writing down they wanna go to Disney Shanghai & Great Wall of China WITH HANGENG. It was a good move cause obvs, the good host that he is couldn’t possibly say no. I hope they all get to go on that trip. Lucas was again super cute talking about how his mom would comment on posts about him @ SDC. He clearly just wants his mom to be proud of him. 🥺
Tumblr media
The past seasons had great personalities that you can’t help but love and at the beginning I thought SDC5 will not deliver. I was wrong. The combination of well known dancers and new generation brought out people that I grew attached to. I’m sad Yuki & Doudou were eliminated but they have a bright future ahead. ☀️
THE INITIAL BATTLES for a save. Zyko. That’s all. I don’t care and do not remember anything else but Zyko battling. How can someone be so creative and work well his team + be a beast in battles all at the same time? I am convinced he is some kind of a genius. I’be said it before but I’m happy that he came back.
Tumblr media
( i mean look at that. and he owned the battles. completely. )
Tho my favorite part would have to be the 2nd round of “save” care of the Masters. All these amazing dancers? We had all of them last season? I can’t! This is why some people can’t help but compare S4 and S5 this line up reminded how amazing last season was. and the fact that yibo danced a lot.
AND OMG ROCHKA. I forgot how fun it is to watch him dance / battle! Look at the reactions of the dancers and you’ll know he’s got that vibe in him. Observe Kyoka, homegirl is feelin the moves!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AND FINALLY, the collab I didn’t know I needed was AC & SIWEN! Miss prim and proper with the Chaos that is AC. The performance was fun and sexy! Yibo definitely liked it — he said his thoughts about Siwen’s progress. It’s actually one of the things I like about Bobo as a mentor. You don’t have to the absolute best. You don’t have beat yourself up every day that you don’t get the number 1. You just have to be better than who you were yesterday. Progress is the most important.
I also felt for Siwen when she pretty much said she’s a loner and doesn’t get along with people. but joining SDC 5 changed that. It’s moments like this that make me think that humans aren’t trash. gives me hope. Lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AND UH— I definitely caught this moment. Bouboo whispering to Yibo like a schoolboy after Siwen’s performance. HAHAHAHA! and Yibo being the supportive friend. I remember that episode ( hotpot ) where Yibo was lowkey teasing him about Siwen. I can’t blame Bouboo, she is gorgeous!
Tumblr media
THAT IS ALL. It was so much fun! I’m feeling the separation anxiety now but I gotta prep for the Finale. We know how exhausting that is. Looking forward to 10/29 🤍🤍🤍
P.S. Thank you to this season for giving us Shipper! Wang Yibo.

Omg okay so. HTTYD 3: The Hidden World is, in my opinion, a good solo movie. It is NOT, however (and this is popular among many fans I see), a good sequel, as it blatantly disregards lore from not only the series’, short movies and (questionably canon) games, but also arguably the movies themselves. They should have went with the original concept of ‘Night Fury Cave’, and I hold this opinion within my very heart and soul.
Some spoilers for both the TV franchise and the books. This is really long, so sorry.
First of all, the entire message goes against the point of the franchise itself. HTTYD1 is a lesson on not judging/seeing the best in others, despite what others are saying. It’s about being brave enough to be yourself and do what you trust is right, even if it goes against what you’ve been taught/ what others think. The dragons and Vikings are at war, but Hiccup realises that Hey, They Aren’t So Bad Actually, and refuses to harm them even at the very real risk of being turned on by his community. This message is more or less continued in HTTYD2- though the overall moral is that you must learn to grow up, the fact remains that the vikings and dragons fight for what’s right, despite the enemies they’re undoubtedly provoking.
The Hidden World takes one look at this, considers it. And then takes a bat to it.
At first glance- and as a solo movie, which is what it should have been- this message of having to say goodbye, and doing what’s right even if difficult, are fine. Great even. However, the main problems arise when put in to context of the franchise: this movie practically erases all the progress and work from the entire rest of the show. Of course you could argue that Hiccup NEEDED to befriend the dragons first IN ORDER to send them away, but that only raises more questions— if the above ground world is so dangerous for them, why didn’t they just leave themselves, with no intervention needed? Where does One Viking get the right to send away entire races of deadly creatures because ‘it’s too dangerous’ (and weren’t they defending themselves perfectly fine before they bonded)? Most importantly, and one the one I have most issue with, how is the environment supposed to function when unbelievable amounts of dangerous apex predators suddenly disappear?
All these questions and more deserve their own posts, but I want to keep this (relatively) simple so it hopefully doesn’t get too out of hand.
I feel that the reason for this decision was simple. Dreamworks wanted an end to the money making series, and the ending of the books they’re (pretty loosely) based off provided a good scapegoat. We know for certain this is the inspiration for the ending, as the final monologue is the same as in the books. However. There are many things that don’t make sense with this decision that support my statement of ‘they wanted a quick and easy ending’. The first is that it doesn’t match up with the TV series at all, which leads quickly to the next and likely most notable point- never, in the entire rest of the movies or shows, did they follow the book so closely. Ever.
I mentioned previously that the adaption to film is ‘pretty loose’. This is an understatement. Perhaps the only things that these franchises have in common is the title, some names and relationships, and the fact that they both have Vikings and dragons. Maybe some vague design cues for the Vikings. Trust me when I say that is IT.
And we’re perfectly fine with that! Ecstatic, even- both are incredible ideas, and anyone who’s consumed both almost certainly hold affection for both, though in different ways. The dragons are incredibly designed yet uniquely different in both, the relationships are intriguing, yet fairly different in both, and the conflicts are interesting, you guessed it! But different in both. This leads to the issue of The Hidden World- of all times to reintroduce the book elements, why now, in the final instalment? I’ll tell you why. To put this bitch to REST in the easiest way they could. Also coincidentally the worst way.
The books and TV instalments don’t only differ with relationships, designs, characters and their personalities, and plot- though those are all obviously very important changes, to the point where some characters would not be recognised at ALL as their counterparts if not for the name. No, probably the biggest and most prominent difference is the COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WORLD-BUILDING.
That’s right. even if you only changed the names of the current TV franchise, you would NEVER be able to link the two series’ to the same universe- at least, not without some VERY impactful reaches.
In the books, the war is not the backstory- it’s the result of building tension THAT WE SEE growing throughout the novels. This contrasts directly with the already-present animosity in the movies. In the books, the dragons have a language that hiccup can speak (another point for ‘the dragons are sentient’ which I may or may not mention later- why are they acting like wild animals in the 3rd movie if it’s reportedly based on these books?), and are practically kept as pets or work animals, like dogs or horses, with Vikings having multiple dragons each with the jobs of flight/transport and hunting respectively. They are used for the Vikings’ convenience, with the overbearing conflict being that they used to be equals, and the dragons are not happy. THIS is what leads to sending the dragons away- they cannot coexist because they don’t, as a whole, see each other as equals. They will always be fighting for power, and the war will solve nothing, and so the dragons will be hidden until the humans wise up.
This ending is so unfit for the movie franchise- whose whole point is basically that coexistence and mutual respect IS possible and wonderful- that it’s not even funny. Why is this random man, who we’ve never seen before and are supposed to believe ‘killed all the night furies’, where they draw the line? They have faced way bigger threats before (albeit mainly in the shows, which not everyone has watched [though that’s no excuse to nerf the protagonists for the sake of conflict]), and this guy doesn’t even seem to know his stuff anyway (again, deserves its own post, unfortunately).
The answer is it’s not. It never has been, I doubt it ever will be.
But fine. Say that they really, genuinely wanted to tie in the books, and this was the intimate goal. Why stop there? This ending may not make sense with the context it was given, but if they used more ideas from the books, surely it would have made more sense?
What I’m about to say is coming from a place of love. Of understanding. Of ‘this is my favourite character and I’d never recover if this happened but he must take one for the team’.
If they were set on this. If there was no other way for this to end. If this was IT.
They should’ve killed off Snotlout.
LISTEN. I don’t know if you’re all that familiar with this franchise in the first place, but Snotlout Jorgenson is the most specialist guy ever. Embodiment of ‘he’s such a Guy I want to put him in a blender’. Of course, this adoration is largely due to the development he goes through in the series’ and not really in the more recent movies (and also maybe a bit subjective 🙈) but I digress. This guy was the first ever recorded instance and possibly the cause itself of my reliable formula for my favourite characters in every media I’ve ever consumed- Guy That Could Be My Son. I love that little rascal with questionable morals with my whole heart.
.. which is why it’s physically painful to see what they did to him in the 3rd movie. If they smashed the messages of the previous movies with a bat into an unrecognisable corpse on the floor, then Snotlout Gary Jorgenson is in a body bag at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. All his development out the window, though this could, if you were generous, possibly be attributed to his character in the books. I would honestly prefer they killed him off to what they did, though this particular interpretation of him is already dead to me so maybe it wouldn’t make much of a difference.
In the books, Snotlout is a the antagonistic cousin of Hiccup (leading to the fairly popular headcanon of them being cousins in the movies) who later sacrifices himself by disguising himself as Hiccup and valiantly charging into battle in order to distract the enemies so Hiccup can escape, leading to his death. If this happened in the movies- just this one, simple detail- the ending could be explained. A direct loss of someone close to Hiccup could ‘open his eyes’ to the danger they are putting themselves in for the hope of ‘friendship’, and force him to realise that it’s safer for dragons and Vikings to just… let go. Make the ultimate sacrifice of saying goodbye for the sake of their individual peoples’ safety.
Unfortunately the writers did not think this through. At all. And the ending is the only thing they took from the books because the two franchises are practically unrecognisable from each other anyway.
I could talk for HOURS all about the points I skipped; my complicated thoughts on the light furies, the inconsistencies about the world building that make No Sense at all, the blatant mischaracterisations that only serve to make the protagonists look like incompetent coworkers who kinda hate each other rather than the near lifelong friends they really are and to make the villains seem more threatening than they actually are, and of course the ‘domestication’ of the dragons/ the removal of their intelligence despite the many reassurances that they stay because they WANT TO and they had MULTIPLE CHANCES TO LEAVE and have proven TIME AND TIME AGAIN that they stay for COMPANIONSHIP and NOT NECESSITY and the topic of animal instincts and finding a mate has ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE SNOGGLETOG SHORT MOVIE-
But this is already way longer than I thought it’d be 🥰 if you read all this way. Um. Sorry 🥺🥺 thanks for the option to rant my family are tired of hearing this 😼 toodles
Damn I hadn’t even seen the third movie and DAMN that was a lot of typing
Very well written 10 out of 10 would 10 again

brb lemme book a flight so i can come to the u.s and do your nails 🫡🛩️
also omg life update ig butttt ive always dwelled on the fact that im taking an extra year at uni so im there for 5 years instead of 4. when the winter sem ended i went back to the doc where i tracked the credits/coures and other program requirements i had done–and the way i was shocked and had to double check if i was correct with how i was tracking my uni progress cos after this summer sem of taking 3 courses is completed, i'll have 5 courses left of my uni career for the coming fall+winter sem.
so if all goes well then at the end of the winter 2025 sem, i would have completed all my uni degree course requirements so i can apply for graduation. i'll (hopefully) be a uni graduate next year!!
going back to the whole dwelling thing, i focused more on how long i had already been at the school and i was completely blind to the fact that i'm almost done. i was completely blind to the progress i was making, too focused on the past instead of the future ig
but like holy shit i didn't realize i was almost done my uni career and it blew my mind when i did that tracking and rechecked and realized that i really am almost done.
since that whole realization, i've been thinking of what i'm gonna be doing after i graduate and it's still a big ?? but i do know im not going to grad school or anything, my time at uni just further cements the fact that school and i don't mix, i can't sit down and study for hours on end, so going to grad school would just be a waste of time and money. at the same time it'll be the first time where i wont have that school routine of attending class and doing homework which has also got me wondering how my days are gonna look once ive graduated. so ive been thinking about adulting recently and its quite daunting and scary so i try to save those thoughts for when im in my therapy appointments.
but that's my little life update, 🌸 anon is gonna be a uni graduate soon!!!! ~🌸
UNI GRADUATE NEXT YEAR LET’S GOOOOOOOOO IM SO EXCITED OJ MY GODDDMDKDKDJDK
I took 5 years too because so many of my course requirements shifted around when covid hit and everything was virtual. But no shame in it!!!! It was def something I dwelled on when I first realized I was going to be taking a little longer to graduate but now I look back and I’m like whooo cares the important thing is that eventually I graduated ! Completely feel you on missing sight of the fact that you WILL be graduating eventually and you’re so close to it, too! You should be so so so proud of yourself and I’M so so so proud of you!!!!
post-uni life is veryyyyy scary when you first approach it, but it’s so refreshing at the same time. It’s such a good period of time to just learn about yourself and figure out what it is that you want from your life and from your degree. There’s so many opportunities you have with a fresh degree and so much more time to just have fun and meet people and embrace adulthood for the first time without the barrier of school. Definitely scope out what you can do with your degree but remember it’s also a great time to do things for yourself and be happy. Don’t forget you’re just a human being at the end of the day and we’re all trying to make it here ❤️
I love you! And I’m beyond proud of you!!!!! Go get em 🫶💓💘💕💗🩷👼

𝕾𝖜𝖔𝖗𝖉 𝕾𝖓𝖔𝖜 𝕾𝖙𝖗𝖎𝖉𝖊 - final review
overview : EPISODE NO. - 38 episodes GENRE - wuxia 
Xu Fengnian is the first born son of the fearsome warlord Xu Xiao, the Duke of Beiliang- and probably the biggest hunk of scum in the whole empire. despite his father being a great martial artist and warlord, Xu Fengnian can’t wield a sword to save his life, he’s shameless, he's lazy, he’s an all-round playboy- he’s a good for nothing. 
or so everyone believes. 
Tumblr media
l⃣e⃣ t⃣’ s⃣    b⃣e⃣g⃣i⃣n⃣
I love this drama so much- despite handling pretty serious situations that are matter of life and death, it’s so so so funny and chaotic. Sword Snow Stride is a drama which follows Xu Fengnian’s growth from a reluctant though highly intelligent heir of the duchy Beiliang to it’s capable, cunning and yes, shameless, future ruler. The writing of the show is so clever, and plot twists and political mechanisms are incredibly entertaining to watch.

[ I don’t think the drama went out of it’s way to be unique, although the plot is incredibly incredibly good and one whole pretty solid. the humour was incredible though, so a three gems ]
𝖗𝖊𝖜𝖆𝖙𝖈𝖍 𝖛𝖆𝖑𝖚𝖊 - ✨✨✨✨
[ the chaotic energy and humour is top tier what can I say ]
‘keep reading’ for detailed review
I don't think I have ever laughed so much watching a drama before- this drama, despite everything, is a comedy show. Every moment in this drama can feature in a fan made “on crack” video without fail. 
jkjk 
and I am exaggerating- just a little. It’s wuxia and also a ‘no-class-boundaries!’ kind of drama which I think is pretty snazzy of the scriptwriter. Xu Fengnian and the Beiliang’s ideology disregards snobs, rejects higher power and social norms- which is very cool of them and I support that dude.
Like, it has everything- plot? You got it. Really cool characters? You got it. Humour? You got it. An actual message? You got that too.

From the very beginning this show opened with a bang- the way it introduced everything was super super cool and engaging and so funny too. 
I felt really sad that I couldn’t give this show a full 10/10 on plot ( tbh no one can ever give any drama’s plot a perfect score) bcs there were some points where the plot fell through. Especially towards the last few episodes where Fengnian was saved one too many times and done so many favours in the name of his mother it began to feel a little- just no.
Nevertheless the rest of the logic was all in one piece, all the politics and all the scheming and the logic-ing of the characters was SO CLEVER. It was so so so fun to watch- it was fantastic. I can’t express how much I dig the way the things were revealed in this show. It had you thinking the whole time and I personally felt I learnt quite a bit from the show and Fengnian- as a person.

GUYS. EVERYONE IN THIS DRAMA-
AMAZING, SHOWSTOPPING, SPECTACULAR, NEVER THE SAME- 
Just. Incredible. They were all so fleshed out with such a strong sense of personality and identity. I love them all- that's all I can ever say or I will be here for ages.
AND THE WOMEN IN THIS DRAMA- LIKE- OMG-
they're so coooool.
I do have one complaint though, and it is that while drama has so many wonderful warrior women, most are not given any real power of their own. Their skills and their abilities ultimately serve to further Xu Fengnian’s progress and story. If not Xu Fengnian, then it’s Xu Xiao. Yes I know it’s a male lead story, yes I know we’re in ancient China, but perhaps we could have some acknowledgment that women’s contribution is often disregarded, or maybe a fun morally grey woman who just also wants to fight society and change her life?
And especially Jiang Ni (who is great btw), who really just exists to be Xu Fengnian’s love interest despite her very important background and I just think it's really sad. 
But besides this, the characters here-
Chefs kiss.
𝖆𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌 - 10
All the actors were fantastic. I don’t think there was anyone who really overdid their character or anything- they were all so good. The cast’s energy throughout the drama was simple and naturalistic. My absolute favourite has to be the actor who played Xu Fengnian’s dad Xu Xiao- he was so good and so hilarious.
I really loved Zhang Rouyun (Xu Fengnian) acting as well, I really liked his performance at the start. He doesn’t place beauty and grace at the forefront of his acting and didn’t care if he looked less than perfect which I appreciate a lot after the slew of perfect beauty you get in xianxia dramas. Though he does have his ‘I’m super cool and majestic’ moments where he does try to think about how he looks on camera, the vibe I got from him was very authentic.
𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖉𝖚𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓 - 7
I LOVE THE PRODUCTION. I love the filter, I love the music- which is so... idk how to describe it. It perfectly encapsulates the vibe of snowy mountains, bamboo and swords and wind- The whole vibe is so calm and natural, it really makes you face the power and vastness of nature, the small, no-music fengshui montages that are scattered throughout the drama are so calming as well. 
But. The fight scenes... are very choppy. They’re not especially smooth- with an exception of Nangong Pushe, of course. Lots of them are literally people just standing there and raising their hands and spitting blood, like, T-T why. You are a wuxia drama; kindly use those weapons T-T. But oh well. At least they look cool when they stand there and raise their hands. 
And can we talk about Xu Fengnian’s lil’ catfish stands? WHAT WERE THE COSTUME DESIGNERS THINKING?
.

and now its time for..... drumrolllll
✨ 𝖋𝖆𝖛𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖎𝖙𝖊 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖘 ✨
okay. okay. this drama is a nightmare for picking your 3 favourite characters THERE’S TOO MANY COOL PEOPLE- IT PHYSICALLY PAINS ME TO-
li chungang [ if anything happens to this old man next season, I'm starting a riot. ]
the whole xu family [ yes. all of them. xu xiao, xu fengnian, xu longxiang, xu zhihu, xu weixiong their family dynamic is hilarious and all of them are amazing people- and yes I am cheating ]
nangong pushe [ yes empty character, but she’s really cool- let me fangirl in peace ]

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your heart condition had always made it so that you were in and out of the hospital since you were two. You had hated the stark white walls and bright lights on the ceiling since you were that young, not to mention the bed with pillows so big you could probably fit your small body entirely on them and still have room. It always made you feel fragile and small - always being trapped in your hospital room, unable to get out.
But at least the nurses were nice. They helped you take your medication, talked with you when you got bored, went on walks with you to the outside patio in the hospital, and even read bedtime stories to you to help you fall asleep. They were definitely closer friends to you than any of your school friends which you rarely got to see anymore.
You thought you would always be alone in your hospital room, until one day a boy was put in the empty bed on the other side of the room. You were ten at the time, and took the addition to be a personal offence at first. It was supposed to be your room. You never had to share before.
For the first two weeks, you didn’t speak a single word to the boy. You observed him in silence, judging whether he was a threat to the normalcy of your life or not. He had dark hair and catlike features. He also had a habit of singing when he thought you were asleep. Except you were rarely asleep, and instead heard his surprisingly beautiful voice softly letting out melodious notes.
One day at breakfast, you finally decided to talk to him.
“What’s your name?” You asked him, poking at your small stack of pancakes to see how fluffy they were.
“Gyehyeon. What’s yours?” He turned to you, small figure looking as fragile as yours as he sat up on his bed. Maybe you two were in the same boat.
“Y/n.” You took a bite that was mostly strawberry sauce than actual pancake.
“Why are you here?”
“Heart condition. You?”
“My growth is stunted.”
“Oh. Is that why you’re so small?” 
He nodded, a small smile gracing his face. You thought he looked cute.
“How old are you?” You asked.
“Almost 12. But I’m the size of a 7 year old.” He pouted slightly, not touching his bowl of fruit.
“I’ll turn 11 next month…” You echoed, “I’m short too, so don’t feel bad about it… And the nurses here are really nice. I'm sure they’ll get you to grow up tall.” You encouraged, giving him a big smile. 
“Is your heart condition serious?” He asked after some silence.
“My parents and the nurses say that I’ll be fine, but they always have conversations I can’t hear.” You explained.
“That usually means they’re hiding something from you and don’t want you to know how bad it really is.” Gyehyeon said sharply and you scoffed.
“What do you know about anything?!” You turned so you were facing away from the boy, his words cutting too deep. You didn’t like being told you were sick, as if you didn’t already know every time your heart acted up. You just wanted to be healthy. 
“Sorry…” He mumbled, letting out a sigh and closing his eyes. A tear slipped down your cheek and the hollow beeping of your monitor was the only sound that filled the room.
//
“It’s your big day!” You cheered as a 17 year old Gyehyeon stepped out in his surgery gown. He had grown a lot over the years thanks to a strict diet and medication, and could now almost pass as the height of a short fifteen year old. You were proud of his progress. He looked stronger and healthier despite still being shorter than average. 
“If I die, it was nice having you as my roommate.” He joked, masking his nerves.
“You won’t die. We’re pretty strong, you and I.” 
He nodded, “I’m proud of us… I’ve grown almost 30 centimetres, you’ve been getting better. Hopefully we’ll both be out of here soon.” 
Gyehyeon and you loved to talk about the future - how your lives would be like away from the hospital. You would both be normal healthy teenagers going to a real school and having real friends. It seemed like a dream, but one that was obtainable. Eventually.
Nurse Park came in soon. She was your favourite nurse, and both yours and Gyehyeon’s best friend. 
“Look at you standing tall!” She said cheerily. She commented about Gyehyeon’s height every time she came in and it always left him embarrassed. 
You reached out your hand, still sitting on your bed. Gyehyeon shuffled over silently and clasped your outstretched hand gently. Nurse Park shifted through Gyehyeon’s files in the cabinet on the side of the room, only adding to the tension and anxiety of the atmosphere. 
Gyehyeon gave your hand a gentle squeeze as you laced your fingers with his. “You’re gonna be fine.” You whispered, bringing your intertwined hands up to your lips and kissing the back of his hand. He smiled.
“Once I get back from surgery, we’ll have our first proper kiss, remember?” He talked to you in a hushed voice so that Nurse Park wouldn’t overhear.
“I didn’t forget. You’ll have earned it by the time you're back in here.” You whispered back, hugging his short body closer to yours. 
Over the years, playful frenemies had grown into true friendship, and that had grown into a proper crush. Now you were both sure that you really liked each other.
Nurse Park turned around and you let go of Gyehyeon. He waved to you hopefully as he followed Nurse Park out of the room. Now you just had to wait.
It was probably the hardest wait of your life. He was undergoing a surgery that was supposed to help fix his spinal cord so he could grow without it obstructing him. You knew it would go well. It wasn’t as big a procedure as some of the surgeries that you had gotten. But you still felt nervous for it because you could feel that he was nervous for it.
You spent your time listening to music and drawing little doodles of Gyehyeon as you waited for 10 hours to pass. Eventually, a nurse rolled a bed back into the room, and a knocked out Gyehyeon rested on it, looking peaceful and healthy. 
You were relieved to have him back in your sight. Maybe it was because of his height that made you feel the need to watch over and protect him. Or maybe it was just because of how much he meant to you, but you always felt a little uneasy when anything big was happening to him and you weren’t there for it.
You thanked the nurse and she left the room after telling you that he should wake up within an hour, but would still be tired and under the effects of the anaesthesia. Once you were alone you walked over to his bed, making a small spot to sit at the bottom while you waited for him to wake up. 
He stirred after forty minutes, slowly blinking his eyes open. You glanced up from your phone, smiling widely once you saw that he was awake again.
“You did it!” You said happily, prompting a smile from him.
“I can’t feel a thing.” He said drowsily but clearly very happy.
“You hopefully won’t remember me saying this because you’re still under anaesthesia, but… you’re really pretty. Even just after surgery you look so good, and it makes me blush.” You blurted out. 
“Is that why your cheeks are pink? Cute…” He mumbled, eyes falling back closed.
You scooted closer to him, “I’ll let you sleep again… but don’t forget about our kiss later. I’ll be waiting.” You murmured to a half asleep Gyehyeon. He smiled again. You brushed your hands through his hair gently in a way that only lulled him to sleep faster.
You had to leave the room for your daily walk and checkups after that, and by the time you got back, Gyehyeon was awake again. The anaesthesia had worn off, and he was back to his happy and savage way of speaking to the nurses, cute grin on his face the entire time.
You were given your dinner and left alone again. As soon as you were, you raced back over to Gyehyeon’s bed and hopped on. He laughed at your eagerness, but you couldn’t care to hide it.
“I believe you earned yourself a present for surviving the surgery, oh great and mighty Gyehyeon.” You said dramatically, inching closer to him with each word.
“I wonder what this present could be?” He jested, grabbing your hands in his.
“I think it’s long overdue.”
“Definitely.” He concurred, his face only centimetres away from yours.
You smiled and closed your eyes, soon feeling Gyehyeon’s soft lips on yours in your first kiss. And it was amazing. He was amazing.
“I really like you.” He whispered when he pulled out. 
“Me too.” You mumbled, kissing his nose quickly and making it dust slightly pink.
“I know… You said I was pretty after all.” He said slyly, and your face turned a darker shade of pink from embarrassment. “Oh, and by the way… You make me blush too.” He leaned in to kiss you again before you could freak out about him remembering your words from earlier. 
He couldn’t think of anything better than this moment. It was perfect.

OMG!!
okay let me tell you guys about my hajime headcanons! (i say ‘you guys’ as if anyone actually sees these posts LMAO)
but anyway, hajime.
after the simulation hajime wasn’t just magically himself. sure, somewhere in there hajime existed, but he couldn’t pull himself to the surface for months. we’re led to believe that hajime and izuru now share a body, right? but after having his emotions removed and his body enhanced he couldn’t force himself to feel for the longest time.
how do i put this.. hm… some people like to think that hajime now suffers from DID or that izuru is just gone but i think they physically share a body. hajime is more in control but izuru still exists in the mind. (izuru is originally more in control but as time progressed hajime gained more authority) so not exactly like DID more like two people in one. two for one sale, that’s a hell of an offer! (sorry bad joke) i feel like his body would be more like a vessel then a person, y’know? anyway when they wake up from the simulation his hair is still long, he’s wearing the suit, all that jazz. the others are pretty terrified at first, hajime isn’t like he was in the neo program at all. he’s silent, barely talks. his eyes are a dark red, his glare is deadly. even the future foundation is hesitant. but he shows no hostility, despite his horde glare he keeps calm. while izuru shows no signs of danger or violence, hajime does. mostly out of fear. i mean how would you feel if you were trapped inside a body, unable to surface, to feel or express anything. it’s difficult for anyone to decipher who is in control for the first few months, they both show no expression. izuru doesn’t feel like it and hajime physically can’t. the only indication they have that hajime is still there is if the body either harms itself or others.
occasionally, hajime would have these freak outs. he’d harm himself in many ways in order to feel something. izuru would put no work into stopping him even though future foundation begged. he said he found no use for it, that the others actions were meaningless. once hajime had walked out to the Hotel Restaurant where they usually meet in the mornings. the others say he looked deadly pale, his eyes opened wide, blankly staring forward. it was frightening. saying nothing, he sat down at the table, motionless. not wanting to interact too much with the man, they served him breakfast while the others chatted mindlessly, hoping to free up the tension in the air. that was until hajime picked up a knife and slammed it straight through into his hand, still staring at nothing, no indication of pain on his face. the others went silent in shock for a few moments before the room erupted in screaming. mikan was still in her pod, they had been relying on izurus nurse abilities but with him out of commission they were lost with what to do.
another time, he had collapsed on the walkway due to starvation. other times due to blood loss. in conclusion, hajime was incredibly unstable.
it took months for him to express properly. he had to completely relearn emotions and feelings. he lacked empathy and proper etiquette. they were worried he would never recover..
eventually that one eye turned green again and it felt like he could finally breathe. he had been watching everything from the back, as if he watching a movie of his own life play on the big screen. but now he was there. he was actually there, it wasn’t just izuru. after that, the outbursts started to slowly stop. he started working with the future foundation directly instead of giving instruction from the sidelines. people started to wake up. first mahiru, then hiyoko, then gundham, and so on..
the ones who were able were sent out to the fight monokumas in towa city. hajime, having a completely reconstructed body was obviously sent out first. actually let’s talk about that!
the izuru kamukura project wasn’t just a simple procedure. this was months of torture. his brain was picked apart and put back together. so we’re his legs, his arms, his feet, his hands.. all were reconstructed to be better then a regular humans abilities. he was stronger, faster, trained in hand to hand combat, his reflexes were enhanced. they tried everything. (a part of me wants to say he had like psychic abilities but i feel like that would be silly. they’re talented, not magical. although that would be super cool) they didn’t care about hajime hinata, they wanted to create something inhuman. a creature able to showcase true hope. their experiments were risky, inhumane. they hadn’t killed his pain tolerance until later in the procedures, he was forced to withstand it all. he desperately hung onto his hope of obtaining a talent, it was the only thing keeping him sane. how they didn’t end up kill him is a miracle. ah, but i suppose in a way they did. hajime was erased. they had gotten rid of any trace of what hajime hinata is, of who he was. it’s not like anyone knew him, and if they did they wouldn’t care. he was a reserve course student after all. many had died or gone missing, all was covered up. he didn’t have a talent, no friends, no job, and his parents were “taken care of” by the school. it was almost like hajime hinata hadn’t existed at all.
ahaha okay, i could rant more but this is getting too long. soo ima stop it here! i love hajimes character sm, i feel like everyone ignores his trauma and story. ESPECIALLY in fanfics omg. like i get it, nagito is fucked up BUT LIKE SO IS HAJIME??? if anything, they’re both fucking insane at this point. like there’s so much to work withhh! omg okay pause i might get hate for this but does anyone know zakikos work?? you probably know him from that limbless hajime meme thing that went around for a while. i hate to say it but his stories are SO FUCKING GOOD. PLUS THE ART STYLE?!! UGHH!!! ITS AMAZING. i don’t even read it for the porn, the ideas and angst this man creates are right up my alley. i’m such a fucking whore for angst istg. I STARTED RANTING AGAIN SHIT. OKAY IM DONE IM SORRY
