#apparently it's become a matchmaking show
Text
I had a request for newer fics, so here you go! Also, some other recent fics were posted here.
They’re all together ooky, the Hale family… (Snap, Snap) by DropsOfAddiction | 12.4K | Explicit
Derek realises that he’s probably squashing Stiles a little bit, right at the same moment that Stiles apparently realises that he’s still holding onto Derek’s face.
They both definitely acknowledge Derek’s nakedness at the same exact time, judging by the alarmed look on Stiles’ face.
“So, you have no clothes on,” Stiles removes his hands and holds them above his head in surrender, cheeks a muddy red.
“In my defence, I was covered in fur less than two minutes ago,” Derek rolls his eyes and he pushes himself up and off him, hands covering his junk for Stiles’ sake.
“You’re still kind of furry now…” Stiles sits up, blinking rapidly, clearly just as weirded out as Derek. “Oh my god, pretend I didn’t say that. I’m not looking or anything.”
Derek smirks, because that… that was a lie and he cocks an eyebrow at him.
as dear as a brother by endversed | 10.3K | Explicit
“You are not allowed to sleep with him,” Scott says.
“You’re not the boss of me,” Stiles scoffs.
Stiles and Scott become best friends at college. Derek is Scott's hot older brother.
Take Me Away From Here by Hedwig221b | 33.5K | Explicit
Derek Hale looked terrifying. With his broad frame and muscles, with his wild black hair and thick beard, with his eyes the color of blood and fangs of a killer. Despite his kindness and his apparent attraction to Stiles, he was still a stranger, a predator, a wolf.
The thing is, Stiles would deal, but others might not. People found Lord Hale horrid, monstrous and unapproachable.
If Stiles stood behind him, no one would touch him.
He’d be safe with the wolf. If not from him, then definitely from everyone else. And that was enough.
Messily Ever After by KaliopeShipsIt | 20.3K
When Stiles and his blue slushie have a literal and quite splashy run-in with an adorable five-year old flower girl and her panicking daddy in the middle of the mall, the last thing he expects is to get a date to a stranger's wedding out of it.
Let alone, a boyfriend and a kid.
His Accidental Touch by Hidden_Orchard | 12.8K | Explicit
It happened accidentally, the first time. All the many and varied times afterwards, Stiles would hold his hands up and admit full responsibility for. But that first time – pure chance.
Derek needs a cuddle. Stiles - generous man that he is - would never deny Derek something he needs.
An Alpha's Misunderstandings by Dexterous_Sinistrous | 48.5K | Mature
And Derek was there, as if it was a simple twist of fate.
There were so many ways Stiles wanted to forgive Derek, but then he came to his senses.
He wouldn’t risk Charlotte’s safety for that hope–never again.
~*~
Stiles and Derek are parted by war and misunderstandings, only to find each other again.
Red, Red, Red by loserchildhotpants | 9.4K | Explicit
“Just… it’s weird, I’ve been - uh. You ever, like, dream of something? Something you’ve never seen before, but then you see it out in the world?”
everywhere, everything (every day) by nerdy-stilinski (Captain_Ameriyeah), S3anchaidh | 14.3K
Derek’s never been the best at making decisions. That’s how he keeps waking up with Stiles in his arms, but never under the right circumstances.
Or: Derek agrees to a pack vacation and instantly regrets it.
Matchmaking in Fandom by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella) | 13K
It wasn’t like it was a secret that the showrunners made terrible decisions when it came to their own show, so why he’d had actual faith in them not fucking the movie up, he had no idea. Really, it was his own fault.
He hadn’t even set the bar high for the movie! The bar was so incredibly low, like mid-shin height, and they somehow managed to get it subterranean. That was talent. A bad talent, but still a talent.
if i'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that i am? by EvanesDust | 13K
When Derek’s kids write out their Christmas lists, they insist he writes one too. Not long after it's deposited in Santa's mailbox, he's reunited with the man of his dreams.
Stiles.
Derek can't help but fall for him again. It's really too bad Stiles is so obviously taken.
...or the one where Derek’s a grump who makes assumptions about his pregnant omega neighbor.

Since all I ask for now is that Amalia gets to call the Osamodas out on their hypocrisy and betrayal, I think it's important to point out Armand never wanted Aurora to rule.
I say this in light of her father claiming she is the rightful heir to the throne when we all know she's actually not.
And I don't just mean her claim on the throne isn't legitimate because a) she's not even a Sadida, or b) she was Armand's Osamodas wife, not even his daughter, which would give her claim some credibility, but because it's clear to see she was never meant to truly be the Sadidas' queen, not even their regent.
I know this all sounds contradictory with the fact that, by virtue of marrying Armand, the Crown Prince, she eventually became his queen, but the thing is, it's plain to see not even Armand wanted her to rule the kingdom on her own, which is what her family is trying to accomplish—although there's also a very high chance they intend to rule through her, rather than let her make her own decisions.
As @vinillain and I have discussed through reblogs, it seems to be implied Aurora was never really meant to rule: not only wasn't she a candidate for becoming her own people's queen, but it is clear to see she was only meant to be given an important position in court but with none of the responsibilities expected from such duty.
This can be seen in her role in seasons 3 and 4; despite being Armand's wife and loving him, she never really acted like a true queen. In season 3 she acted conniving and pretended to have Amalia and the kingdom's best interests in mind when, deep down, all she cared about was strengthening her and her family's power over Sadida politics. And in season 4 she remained passive, aloof, and emotionless throughout. At no point was she shown to feel genuine concern for her husband's people even in the face of an imminent threat.
The most active role she's taken ever since she debuted was playing matchmaker for an unwilling Amalia and trying to find more about the Eliaculus.
From what we've seen so far it's easy to conclude she was always meant to be Armand's consort, but never his actual partner. She was essentially sent to the Sadidas to act as their king's arm candy. Whatever power gap was between them, she never made any efforts to breach it and show her worth.
For all she and her family look down on Amalia, Aurora herself never matured enough to become a suitable ruler, whereas Amalia eventually grew into her mother's mantle; even when his father was still alive, she had already become Queen of the Sadidas.
And I think despite his love for her, Armand knew this. He knew she could never rule the kingdom without him; knew she never should rule his kingdom without him.
Despite his many flaws and not-so-stellar moments, Armand was raised to be king. He was never stupid. He knew the inner workings of politics in and out and how to navigate them.
This is apparent in his interactions with the Osamodas King.
While he maintained a cool head throughout, it was clear to see Armand saw right through his father-in-law's ill-veiled condescension towards his people and his desire to control his kingdom. Which is why I wouldn't be surprised if he had never truly trusted Aurora despite coming to love her.
Because of everything his people had gone through, Armand was perfectly aware his kingdom was practically of no importance to the other races, for they never sent their support when they needed it most. So it wouldn't be far-fetched to assume Armand knew all along the Osamodas' intentions behind marrying him to Aurora went beyond simply providing him with a queen.
Which is why I believe he never intended to let Aurora become regent if he was no longer around.
But my greatest evidence are his last words to Amalia as he was about to sacrifice himself and he put her to safety. I don't have the screenshots for it (so I'd appreciate if anyone could provide them), but he essentially told Amalia she would be their next queen.
That's it. That's all he said. He never said, "Please, help Aurora out", or "You two are co-rulers now", or even "You have my permission to fuck Yugo senseless". He told his sister it was up to her to rule their people, not his wife.
Meaning, between her being the last remaining Sheran Sharm, the second in line when her brother was still alive, and Armand's words, Amalia is the kingdom's rightful ruler, not Aurora. It was never Aurora.

Summary: a first date with Pato
Tags: tooth rotting fluff
I wrote this all today, and I think it’s really cute, also could become a multi part series of like all the firsts with Pato, idk let me know what y’all think. please like and reblog i love y’all 🫶🏼🫶🏼
~
YN doesn’t know why she’s doing this. Dating always seems like more of a hassle than it’s worth. At the end of the day, she knows she’s doing it because of the voice in the back of her mind saying “what if he’s the one?”. The hopeless romantic in her is apparently winning, because despite how frustrating it is to get dressed up and look her best for a mediocre night filled with boring conversation, she’s still going.
She’s being set up with a friend of a friend’s brother, who’s honestly one of the most attractive men she’s ever seen, at least on his instagram. From what she knows about him she’s very apprehensive. He’s a famous race car driver, which has her hesitating in so many ways it’s hard to list them all, and his instagram honestly makes him look like a slut. Applying the finishing details to her makeup she steps back to take a final look at herself in the mirror and smoothes out her outfit. They’re going to a pretty fancy place, so she’s wearing a black satin maxi dress with black heels, simple yet elegant she thinks.
As her uber pulls up to the restaurant she quickly notices that all the cars in the parking lot are incredible fancy. She double checks her appearance in her phone camera before heading in. The host leads her to the table where he’s already waiting for her, but quickly stands up.
He reaches his hand out “Hi, I’m Pato.”
“YN, It’s nice to meet you.”
He grabs her chair and pulls it out for her, then quickly sits down across from her.
Pato was stunned as the woman that just sat down in front of him may be the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen. He’d never let her know this but he spent a borderline stalker ish amount of time scrolling through her instagram before going out with her. Dating was something that made him incredibly nervous.
When he was younger he didn’t date much because he was a bit of a late bloomer, and now he tries his best to avoid it. It’s not that he doesn’t want someone in his life, he wants it more than almost anything, it just seems so impossible with his lifestyle. He’s on the road for seven months of the year which makes it really hard to not only meet someone but maintain a relationship. It’s not that he doesn’t have his choice of gorgeous women, he’s never failed to find someone to spend the night with if that’s what he wants, but it usually only lasts a night. In the past year the few girls he’d been on multiple dates with had made it clear that they were more interested in his fame and money than him.
His sister had set him up with YN, she’s convinced that he’s lonely and needs someone to play matchmaker for him. At least one of those things is true. As he sat across from her now, all of his annoyance at Elba for making him go is fading away. She’s beautiful but not in a lip filler and face lift way, she’s got the prettiest smile he’s ever seen, and he can feel himself falling for her already.
He kicks himself as he can already see himself marrying and starting a family with her. It’s what he always tries to picture with other women but is never able to.
The restaurant has an incredible atmosphere to it. Candles on each table and dim lighting overhead setting the mood, and quiet classical music playing in the background. “I hope you weren’t waiting too long for me.”
“Oh, no I just got here. You look amazing by the way.”
She smiles and looks down at her lap, “Thank you.”
As she starts looking over the menu she sees that all of the food has a ridiculous name and description that you’d have to spend an hour trying to understand. She finally settles on some sort of salad, just hoping that it’ll be good. When the waiter comes over, Pato tries to show off by ordering an almost $200 bottle of wine for the table. Her jaw drops a bit as she starts to wonder how she’s going to afford to split this bill, she’ll have to put dinner on a credit card.
She can’t help but feel out of place in this environment, hands fidgeting with her dress the entire night. As the night goes on they learn more and more about each other, sharing anything and everything. From favorite color to deepest fears, if YN’s being honest, it’s the most she’s connected with a date in a while. Then they start telling about their families, and how they grew up.
She realized quickly that he grew up with more money than she did. As he talked about the large house he grew up in and his father’s job, she felt out of place all over again. She grew up in a small apartment in New York, always wearing hand-me downs and eating off brand cereal. It’s not like she was ungrateful, her mother gave her and her sister everything she could with what she had, being a single mother and all, but it did make her feel looked down on when she was around people who had so much.
Pato felt like a moron as she began to tell him about how she grew up. It wasn’t until she brought up her single mother and how she moved to texas with $35 in her bank account that he realized how uncomfortable she was. He noticed how she was playing with the extra fabric on her dress that bunched around her thighs, and how stiff her posture was.
“This isn’t really your place is it?”
She tries to shrug it off. “It’s a nice place.”
“But you’re uncomfortable.” It’s not a question but a statement. She nods her head and looks down at her lap sheepishly. “Man, I feel like such an idiot. I wanted to impress you, but it’s clear none of this impressed you and now I’ve made a fool out of myself.”
“Can we just get out of here?”
He sighs, knowing he fucked up the date and calls for the bill. When it gets there she starts digging through her purse to find her credit card.
“What are you doing?”
She looks at him confused, “Um, getting my card?”
“No I took you on this awful date, I’ll pay for it.” She wants to argue, but knows that she quite literally can’t afford to, so instead offers a hushed thank you.
When they walk out to the parking lot he tells her to at least let him drive her home, and she agrees. He walks her over to his car but stops right in front of it. “I guess this doesn’t impress you either.”
She stares at the light blue sports car, “Not really, no.”
He laughs self-deprecatingly, “Strike two, I’m on a role tonight.”
She climbs into the car, but doesn’t hesitate to look at him sideways when the door opens upwards. He starts to drive towards her apartment when she rattles off the address, he knows the area vaguely. They don’t say much on the drive home, the radio softly plays in the background, and she gives the occasional direction.
“Turn in here.”
“What?”
“Turn. In. Here.” He turns into an In-N-Out parking lot but looks thoroughly confused. “Go through the drive through.”
He does as she says and she orders for the both of them. As they pull up to the window to pay she pulls out her card. “The first part of the night was on you, let me get this part.”
”You’re not tired of this yet?”
“Well you still have a third strike.” He smiles at her as they accept the food from the second window. “The place was not so great, but the date wasn’t going so bad.”
“I’m so glad you’re giving me a second chance.” He pulls into a parking spot and they continue their date where they left off. They click so well, and YN knows that this definitely won’t be their last date.
“This is an american monstrosity.”
“How have you never tried it?”
“Come on, you’re messing with me.”
“No I’m not,” YN takes another fry and dips it into her shake, then holds it out to him. “Eat it.” He gives her an unsure look, but eats it anyways. He makes a show of eating it, but doesn’t say anything. “You liked it, didn’t you?”
“It’s not as bad as I thought.”
“Ha! You did like it.” She’s laughing at him even though there’s nothing to really laugh at, she’s just very happy.
He’s smiling at her also happy to be with her, “You look really beautiful.”
She’s not laughing anymore, but there’s still a smile plastered on her face. “You’re not too bad yourself.”
The smallness of the car has them close together anyways, but they’ve also leaned into each other. Pato’s voice is hoarse, “I really want to kiss you right now.”
YN closes the gap between them, and the kiss is everything a first kiss should be. She feels as if there’s fireworks going off in her stomach, and she’s a little dizzy. The kiss is soft and slow and sweet, his hand is resting on her face and caressing her cheek. YN has her hand resting on his shoulder. He tastes like chocolate and french fries and something else that she thinks she wants to be buried with.
When they pull away her head is swimming and she needs a moment to get her thoughts together. He’s the first to speak, “It’s getting pretty late I should probably take you home.”
“Yeah, you probably should.” but she makes no effort to move away from him.
He finally moves away from her, and he takes their trash to a can that was outside. They continue talking on the way to her apartment, the car less tense now. He walks her up to her door, but stops when they arrive. “Thank you for going out with me tonight, I had a great time.”
“I can honestly say I did, too.”
“So did I get a third strike, or am I going to get to see you again?”
“When we’re you thinking?”
“Tomorrow night?” He gives her a bit of a sheepish grin, really hoping she’ll say yes.
She tilts her head at him, “That quickly?”
“I don’t see the point in waiting,” he grabs her hand in his. “I won’t get much done anyways, I’ll be distracted thinking about this incredible girl I went out with.”
“Your flirting will get you far in life.” She turns her key in the door and opens it.
“Is that a yes?”
“Pick me up at 5.” He can’t believe his luck as she begins to shut the door and he turns away. “Oh, and Pato?”
He turns back towards her door, “Yes?”
“Bring a normal car this time.”
He laughs, and she breaks into a 1000 watt smile. “Yes, darling, whatever you say.”

Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find our other recs here.
❄️ In A Twinkling by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom {Explicit, 89k}
Louis’ Nan just wants him to be happy, to settle down with a nice boy, and bring him around for Christmas.
Louis is too busy with his career to bother about relationships, but in an attempt to appease his Nan, he sends her photoshopped pictures of him and his pretend boyfriend, Harry. The fact that the man in the pictures is none other than Harry Styles, world famous Gucci model—and recurrent star of Louis’ fantasies—is irrelevant. It’s not like their paths will ever cross…
So it comes as somewhat of a surprise when Louis returns home for Christmas and walks into his Nan’s sitting room only to find the real-life Harry Styles happily chatting away with the grey-haired ladies of his Nan’s Crochet Circle.
Featuring Niall and Liam as Louis’ childhood friends, Harry as the painfully perfect man of Louis’ dreams, Zayn as Harry’s very protective best mate, Louis’ Nan as a well-meaning matchmaker, and Louis as a guy who thinks he’s happy with his life, until a certain someone shows him what he’s been missing.
❄️ the impossible now by stylinsoncity / @aliensingucci {Mature, 64k}
A wish on Christmas Eve sends Louis to an alternate dimension where Harry is a member of One Direction.
❄️ Yet in Thy Dark Streets Shineth by @juliusschmidt {Mature, 57k}
Louis’ life has become the very thing he’s always dreaded: routine. His job is steady, his bills are paid, his friends are preoccupied, his siblings are mostly old enough not to need him, and his mom keeps pestering him about attending church. Apparently, the new minister pulls rainbows and unicorns out of his robes.
Advent arrives three months into Harry’s first call as associate pastor at St. Andrews. Life is… not perfect. He’s still figuring out how do his job and the holidays bring a whole bundle of extra stress. On top of which, he has no friends or family nearby with whom he can decompress. Louis Tomlinson shows up to worship in the nick of time.
❄️ like cranberries on a winter evening by 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou {General, 47k}
Louis hates Christmas. With good reason, too. And no, he doesn’t want to talk about it.
When research for his next novel leads Louis to the website of a quirky little hotel in Northumberland, there is exactly one room available for the two weeks that Louis really wants to get away from his family.
Will the fairy lights, kind smiles, homemade pastries, and genuine friendships awaiting him in Harry Styles’ hotel be enough to cause Louis a change of heart?
❄️ Ideal: An Advent Fic by asphodelknox / @iamasphodelknox {Mature, 40k}
All Louis wanted was some god-damned time to write his novel. He didn’t expect to move his and Liam’s entire production of a Christmas variety show to a small inn in Vermont just before the holidays. He didn’t expect to save Niall’s inn. He didn’t expect Liam to fall in love. He definitely didn’t expect to fall in love himself. And he certainly didn’t expect it all to feel so much like a Christmas movie.
Oh hell. There’s a lot of things Louis didn’t expect.
A White Christmas au, complete with drama, fluff, choreographed dance numbers, and idiotic boys falling in love. Just your typical Christmas fun.
❄️ The Happiest Season by @sadaveniren {Explicit, 37k}
“You’re going to spend Christmas -and your birthday- with his homophobic WASP parents? That’s gonna be hell.”
Louis closed his eyes in frustration. “It was either that or be apart and I don’t think that’s gonna be good for either of us this year, you know?”
A fic loosely based on Happiest Season but make it ... different
❄️ All Your Mates Are Here by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup {Teen&Up, 36k}
"The pack is... It's folding, Harry."
Like every werewolf does when they get to a new town, Harry joined one of the many local packs when he started university. Now, three years into his program, he's hit with the news that his pack is giving up, going their separate ways. In the wake of the holidays, the three single wolves from the Majestic pack are pointed in the direction of a new pack to join; one that's got struggles of its own.
A new pack, a new house, and two new roommates with personal space issues... Plus exams, of course.
❄️ From the Start by @allwaswell16 {Explicit, 32k}
Louis has no idea that one act of kindness will cause his life to spiral out of control. But that's what happens when his new friend fake proposes to him and a video of it goes viral.
❄️ One Minute to Midnight by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird {Explicit, 29k}
Louis Tomlinson is at the height of his game in Boston's financial scene. He's got the instinct, and he's got the guts to take calculated risks that make everyone around him a lot of money. Everything is going well until the day after he gets promoted when he wakes up forty years older than his actual age.
Two years later he's adapted to his new life as a retiree, but he's lonely and desperate for company closer to his real age during the rigorous holiday party season. He gets some questionable advice from Niall and turns to the Seeking Arrangement app where he finds Harry Styles, a local actor he's been a fan of since they had an undergraduate class together. But what happens when a few dates here and there isn't enough?
❄️ all the lights are full of colour by @infinitelymint {Explicit, 26k}
So, fast-forwarding eight years from the day Harry met Louis, he is now a twenty-seven year old owner of one of the most up-and-coming eating establishments on the London restaurant scene, father of two wonderful boys and… separated from his husband. Now, that last part definitely was never a part of the original plan.
Or, Harry and Louis are separated, but for the sake of their two sons, they choose to spend Christmas together. It may just lead to a Christmas miracle.
❄️ Yours In Fractions by @kingsofeverything {Explicit, 23k}
Louis and Harry are strangers who, because of a mix up, share their mutual friend's apartment and bed over the holidays.
❄️ Three French Hems by @100percentsassy , gloria_andrews / @gloriaandrews {Mature, 20k}
In which Louis is a designer at Burberry and Harry spends December wearing Lanvin… and Lanvin… and Lanvin.
❄️ Take Your Time 'verse by @laynefaire {Explicit, 20k}
When Harry finds himself in the middle of a messy break-up with no place to live, Louis offers a spare room in his flat. Unbeknownst to Harry, Louis has been infatuated for years. Over the objections of their friends, who know the truth, Harry accepts. Can Louis survive Harry moving into his home…and closer to his heart? Will Harry see what's right in front of him?
❄️ You'll Be Home For Christmas by @2tiedships2 {Not Rated, 15k}
“Honesty, Lou, just ask Harry for help.”
Louis remained silent as he continued to scowl at the Christmas calendar Niall had hung on their refrigerator.
“And be nice to my calendar filled with holiday cheer,” Niall instructed. “You’re going to burn a fucking hole in it from the way you’re glaring at the innocent thing. It’s not the calendar’s fault that your heat is starting so close to Christmas.”
❄️ Naughty or Nice by noellehenry / @noellehenrymain {Teen&Up, 10k}
Louis never intended for his boss, the very attractive Harry Styles, to find out he has a temporary, additional job as a Christmas Elf at Harrods Department Store. When he gets a request to show up in his elf costume at Mr. Styles' office, after office hours, Louis' mind goes wild...
❄️ and marshmallows by BriaMaria / @briannamarguerite {Explicit, 10k}
Louis Tomlinson’s ass was wet. Well the whole back of him was wet, but it was really, really seeping through the thin jeggings that he swore to Lottie were jeans. In this moment, though, lying spread eagle in the snow bank that was his front yard he admitted that they were indeed some kind of useless fabric that wasn’t denim.
“Ummm.” The voice was deep, hesitant and came from the little walk leading up to Louis’ house. Fucking fantastic. Someone to witness his misery. “Are you alright?”
Louis squeezed his eyes shut hoping that the person would just go away.
The one where Harry has a personal attachment to Louis' house, and Louis can't stop picturing the beautiful stranger dancing in his kitchen.
❄️ you've set my soul to dreaming by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed {Teen&Up, 9k}
At first, when Harry wakes up on Christmas Morning with a warm body in his bed he wonders if he pulled someone last night. He’d met some friends at the pub, none of them really having anyone to spend Christmas Eve with, and he knows he might’ve had a few drinks to numb the loneliness for a while, but he didn’t think he got that drunk that he’d ended up pulling someone and forgetting all about it.
Or: Thirty year old Harry Styles goes to bed single on Christmas Eve, only to wake up on Christmas morning with a husband in his bed and a son down the hall.
❄️ Nothin' I Would Rather Do by @lululawrence {Mature, 9k}
“Louis,” Anne said sternly. “You know I have no problem with you working overtime if you need to, but I can’t have you running yourself ragged. At this rate you won’t have the energy or stamina to make it to the party yourself!”
“I’ll be fine, Anne. I swear.”
Her bright eyes sparkled as her smile turned a bit more coy and Louis knew immediately what was coming next.
“I hope so, because you know, my son will be in town and coming to the party.”
Louis froze. In all the months of her talking about her son and saying they should meet, she never once mentioned that he would be coming to the Christmas party. Well, fuck.
or...the one where Anne is determined to set Louis up with her son, but he's perfectly happy with the random sexting "relationship" he has running with the random he met at a bar several months back.
❄️ 12 Days of Kissmas by @haztobegood {Not Rated, 8k}
A collection of 12 Christmas ficlets, each one sealed with a kiss
❄️ so c'mon c'mon (and dance with me baby) by theweightofmywords / @rockstarlouis {Not Rated, 3k}
Louis and Harry meet at a corporate holiday party, drink copious amounts of champagne, dance like fools, steal rich people's food, and possibly, just maybe, fall in love.

The dude who tried (and sometimes succeeded) in trying to win over women that were married/about to be married not once, not twice, but FIVE FUCKING TIMES!
I'm sorry but TED DID WHAT?!
Yup, you read it right. Ted Mosby, the guy that the writers were constantly trying to push as the perfect, most romantic lead in the whole world, apparently has a very serious homewrecking kink.
The first time was in season one, with Ted going to a matchmaker, and finding out that the only woman he'd be a good match with already went out with a guy that was slightly less ideal (according to the computer) and is engaged to him. Ted then finds out she's a doctor, goes to her place of work, and tries to convince her he is her soulmate, not her fiance - who she'll be marrying VERY soon.
Ted doesn't know this woman. Literally the only information he has is "She went on a matchmaker and her profile was a lot like his." That's it. That is all the excuse he needs to try to sabotage someone's wedding. This is also one of the few times in which we are supposed to be laughing at him, instead of wanting him to get the girl. Well, I think that was the intention, but God knows I stopped expecting common sense from this show a LONG time ago.
The second time homewrecking Ted is seen is during season 3. He decides to "live like Barney" (because OBVIOUSLY Ted would neeeever decide to do something like this on his own, please ignore the previous exemple, and the next three) and hooks up with a married woman during a party, and feels exactly zero shame or guilt over it until Marshall talks some sense into him. This is the LAST time in which we'll see that kind of behavior from Ted be treated as explicitly wrong by the show - even though his actions will only get worse.
Homewrecking Ted comes back in season 6, when he falls for Zoey, a married woman. A married woman he is constantly spending time with even though EVERYONE is warning him that this isn't going to end well as they all can see that what they have isn't just friendship. All except Zoey's husband, who thinks Ted is a great guy - in fact, when Zoey leaves him, the poor guy comes to the bastard for comfort, because he thought Ted was his friend.
Ted is 100% in the wrong, but the show thinks that his search for "The One" justifies everything plus they technically didn't become an item before Zoey made up her mind about who she wanted, so it's totally okay that she left her husband for him - after all, she could have maybe possibly been the woman of Ted's dreams, so who cares if she was the love of someone else's, her husband's, life.
The fourth time is at the end of season seven, when he falls back in love with his ex, Victoria, even though she will be getting married soon. The two of them almost hook up, but decide against it... for a little while. On the wedding day, Victoria wants to leave her fiance at the altar, and Ted is tempted to be with her, but he decides to do the right thing and take her to the church where the wedding will happen... and then changes his mind while driving, because once again, who cares about the other completely innocent dude when Ted needs to find "The One" - he is the ONLY person who deserves someone who loves him, right?
The show tries to remedy that by having Ted demand Victoria leave her would-be-husband a letter explaining why she wouldn't marry him because that's what Stella did with him. Guess what? That doesn't mean shit, he's still doing something horrible. A "I stole your future wife, man, sorry. But I made her write you a letter" doesn't fix a goddamn thing.
Oh, but the groom left too! Because turns out Victoria was NOT the right woman for him! That totally excuses Ted's behavior right? OF COURSE NOT! He didn't even know that when he decided to be with Victoria. As far as he knew, that dude was going to be left utterly heartbroken in the exact same way he himself once was - and he still thought he was justified in what he was doing.
And now we reach the big one. Season 8. Ted and Victory break up because, this whole time, during the years in which Ted has been pulling this kind of bullshit, he was actually NOT thinking that the doctor, or Zoey, or Victoria were "The One", as his true love was Robin all along, and SHE is the one he knew he'd always come back to - THEN WHY THE FUCK DID HE TRY, AND SOMETIMES SUCCEED, IN RUINING OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES?
And how does he handle the fact that the supposed love of his life is actually not interested in him, wants to marry someone else, and that someone else happens to be a friend of his that has REPEATEDLY asked Ted for his blessing to pursue Robin?
Well, you see, he sulks about how Robin should leave Barney for him. Because, you know, he loves her more, saw her first, dated her first, is the better man, found a locket she had buried years ago, dramaticly held her hand while it was raining and whatever excuse the writers can come up with to pretend Ted is only trying to sabotage his friend's wedding because "It's true love!" and not at all because he is a selfish, entitled asshole who has a habit of doing that.
In fact, on the morning of her wedding, Ted STILL wants to profess his supposed love for Robin, only to get shut down again AS SHE OBVIOUSLY MADE HER CHOICE VERY CLEAR A LONG TIME AGO.
Oh, but the writers want more drama and have her suddenly get cold feet and ask Ted why shouldn't she be with the guy who loves her so much. And what does Ted, the guy who has been sulking about losing her for months and stabbed Barney in the back by telling his bride he loves her and wants her to give him another chance, say as a response?
"The truth is I don't love you like that anymore. And you don't love me, you love Barney"
Yeah, we know that, asshole. We've known that for a while. And apparently so did you this entire time, YET YOU STILL TRIED TO STEAL HER FROM BARNEY MERE HOURS AGO! WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS?
Simple: because Ted is in love with the idea of love, and will project romantic feelings onto anything that breathes and has a pulse, and will go to absurd lengths to win over the (temporary) object of his affection, even if it means destroying people's lives - and in fact, that drastic consequence often doesn't even register as a factor in his mind.
And what do the writers of How I Met Your Mother do with this obvious character flaw? They use it to claim Ted is a true romantic, a SYMPATHETIC lead, the nicest of all nice guys, and eventually reward him by letting him have BOTH the actual perfect woman for him (Tracy) and also the woman that could not have been more wrong for him, yet that he was obsessed with for TWENTY FIVE YEARS, aka Robin.
Fuck this show.

QUEEN HAS MORE SUITORS LINED UP AFTER MATCHMAKING ATTEMPT FAILS
Her Majesty's latest attempt at finding her eldest daughter a suitable match has apparently failed.
It can be recalled that The Crown Princes was spotted a few times with photojournalist Rajiv Criston after the two were introduced by none other than The Queen herself. Now, however, a source close to Rajiv claims that the whole operation was a dud:
"Anya was actually just humouring her mum, although she did appreciate Raj's (Rajiv) company. They have several common interests, but it just wasn't the right time for them. Raj was actually very keen on pursuing Anya, but she shot him down right from the very beginning before feelings would become involved. She told him that for now, she'd welcome his friendship, but nothing more. Raj respected that, but of course, he was a little disappointed."
Sizzle or fizzle? Anya and Rajiv's pairing didn't exactly take off.
Speaking of disappointed, The Queen was also reportedly rather disappointed and displeased about the not-quite "break-up." A well-placed palace source shares:
"The Queen thought the two would be great together, and she feels rather disappointed in Anya for not giving Rajiv a real shot. Her Majesty feels as though Anya isn't really taking things very seriously. A very stern conversation took place after Anya confronted The Queen about where Rajiv stands, and let's just say that the Queen did not mince words in reminding Anya that she isn't getting any younger, and that at this point, she can't be too picky."
The source, however, reveals that The Queen has back-up plans ready to be "deployed:"
"The Queen is never one to back down, so she's seeing this as a challenge. Anya and her singleton status has become HM's latest project. She has a rather sizeable list of young bachelors who she thinks might be a great match for Anya. Most of them are handsome young men with impeccable pedigree, of course, and are children or relatives of The Queen's inner circle of friends. Anya's dreading it, of course. It's bad enough that her mum's breathing down her neck, pressuring her to settle down. Now she has to deal with a literal list of men she's being forced to 'consider.'"
Apparently, The Queen is very keen on introducing Anya to Rodderick Pughley-Carnes, The Marquess of Cabbs. The young aristocrat's late father served as the Queen's Lord Great Chamberlain prior to his passing.
Above: Candidates include Rodderick Pughley-Carnes, The Marquess of Cabbs (left) and lawyer Bertram Chatsley (right).
Another candidate is Bertram Chatsley, a lawyer, author, and geopolitical analyst. The multi-hyphenated bachelor graduated summa cum laude from Brindleton Royal University, and earned his Master of Laws from the prestigious Britechester University Faculty of Law with highest honours. He also ticks the "pedigree" requirements as he hails from the aristocratic and incredibly wealthy Chatsley family.
While it's rather convenient to have such dashing men ready at The Queen's beck and call, maybe Her Majesty should let Anya loose a little? Even we're starting to get a little suffocated! The Queen's match-making and meddling is all starting to feel a lot like a bad reality-cum-dating show.

Since the topic came up, I'm seriously surprised that Marinette doesn't have any sort of beef or discomfort towards Andre since anytime she wanted to move on or make a change in her love life Andre went ballistic thinking "omg my ICE CREAM always tells the truth how dare she this is wrong!!" yk, for a first episode it's a good plot, but for three episodes and multiple side-villains cameos it becomes apparent that Andre REALLY needs to get his priorities straight bc no one should be this obsessed with a 14 yr old's love life.
I'd question why the show wants us to like a man who spends way too much time trying to play matchmaker for a bunch of a teenager... but then again, this is the same show that unironically resolved a major story arc with a bathroom peephole.

There are children who grew up on atla, still praising it's writing, animation, and emotional storylines.
And then there's children who grew up like me, with this shitshow. And you know what? Screw it-
I loved it.
This is me ranting about this horribly flawed show that's a relic of my childhood.
It was either incredibly predictable, or batshit crazy, was riddled with plotholes, and was about a bunch of twelve year olds playing matchmaker for badly animated chinese legends that looked more like burnt out balcanic couples.
The plot happens in episode 1-5 and then 25-26. Inbetween that, it's just tomfoolery. 19 episodes of literal nothing. The people who get close to ending them are literally never the main badguys. They fix up marriages, families, (it's kinda sweet in that sense i guess...) fight the baddies (one of whom they literally HAVE to befriend- but thats just another one of the ✨plotholes✨) and run after the dragons eye, which (guided by their fortune cookie of a master) leads them in a gigantic circle back to where they came from.
The plotholes are so ridiculous that my brain started to come up with explanations that I literally just made up in my head. I remembered there being an episode with an umbrella, and I was sure that it was either used by Flamo, since y'know fire... But no, the fire element is doing just fine in the rain (despite the water element not doing well in the desert but who cares amiright) Or maybe Jinhou since water corrodes metal. But no.The umbrella was Raindrops. The water element. I can't make this up I swear.
Then there is the biggest thing that stems from the premise of the story: They need the five elements to reunite, and become the golden dragon. So why doesn't General Bu just get rid of one or two of them? He captures them regularly, and he has one stapled to his hip at all times... Why does he insist on capturing all of them? (So the show may go on i guess) In my mind, I decided that if one dies or something, the rest can revive them, but that is never even implied in the show, I'm just trying to stop my brain from imploding...
The characters are... Not smart. The only characters arguably smart are Master Yun (debatable) and Shao Yen who is in the wrong show (and sometimes Niwa I guess). I mean, it explains a lot when you know these characters are all 12, and the backstories loosely fit their personalities (by sheer accident I'm sure). Niwa was a servant, and has the strongest powers so she's reserved and nut much of a leader, but still confident, Jinhou was raised and praised by monks who knew of his importance, so hes full of himself and a bit sheltered, Randrop is an objectively worse fighter and student than Shao Yen, so he has doubts, and she in turn has this responsible big sister attitude despite not leading. Flamo acts pretty accurate for a 12 year old with fire powers and a megalomaniac for a role model. ...Why is it that only he and Raindrop gets dumb ass names, while the others get... Like, normal ones?
Last point: This show brings up some interesting ideas (by accident I'm sure) and blatantly ignores them, going out of it's way to avoid anything even remotely surface deep. General Bu, evil mastermind (with gadgets I'm sure they made up while high on drugs) is the past student of Master Yun, teacher and father figure of two of the main characters. That never even matters. It gets mentioned in episode 1 and never again. Why is he even evil? Idk, who cares. Dragon taido. What even is it? How is it different from Tiger taido, and what even is that? Is it made up by General Bu, or are there other martial arts forms? When our characters scream dragon taido, they just start using their elemental powers, and there is no difference between how Raindrop fights and how Flamo fights despite them being dragon and tiger taido novices respectively. Hell, I'm pretty sure Flamo never even says Tiger taido in the whole series, only Bu does. Grub is apparently an experiment gone wrong, but I'm not even sure if I made that up, or was a detail of the show. Thats how important it is. There's this thing where they try to juxtapose Shao Yen and Raindrops semi-healthy sibling relationship (and to a lesser extent with the other two elements), to Grub and Flamos toxic one, but that never goes any further than Grub calling for him when locked in a cupboard, and Flamo being kinda sad for a moment when he "dies".
Also: The whole Avatar ripoff thing? I don't really see it? Yes, obviously thats what inspired it, and honestly, the intro is probably the big thing people point to when saying its a fipoff and you know what, thats fair. But story wise, I don't really see it: Face it people. Master Raindrop is way to off the rails to even try to liken it to Avatar. Outside of five man band, elemental powers, and fiery -eventually redeemed -bad guy, i don't really see it (and none of that was invented by avatar, might I add). Maybe that one talk with Master Yun in episode 5, but wise, cryptic guy is also not an Avatar thing. I even saw some people say Grub is supposedly Uncle Irohs stand in..? Flamo and Grub remind me more of the wet bandits from home alone than Uncle Iroh and Zuko, but suit yourself I guess :"D
Now after saying I love this show, shitting on it for 3 and a half pages, I have only one thing to say.
Its still better than the movie.
#master raindrop#raindrop#im not even surprised this isn't a tag#I was thinking of putting an atla tag in here#just to throw off the fans#and spread the word of this glorious monstrosity#but I decided against it#smh

MDZS Fanon Pet Peeve: the Jiang heir
Warning: Some cursing and expletive language.
I just noticed/realized is that there are fics out there with JWY, the bane of all matchmakers and decent women in all the land, would actually make his head disciple or any other person who wasn't Jiang blood into his heir.
Yes the classist, bigoted, JWY, naming some cultivator he recruited in the war to inherit his position as Sect leader.
I'm sad to know that there are actually fics out there that portray JWY as someone who could care less about the background of their heir and choose them for competency. Or worse. Choose them because they were apparently surviving Jiang disciples that WWX had trained because apparently sentimentality (which JWY never had).
I think worst of them all is when they think JWY would actually appoint WWX as the Jiang heir especially post canon.😱
See where I'm going here? That just goes to show how those writers understood him. Which is to say not at all.🧐
That's why I'm always struck by some fics that show JWY as dying a bitter single unlikeable person that he truly is at the end of the book. Those were particularly good 😊. I found more realistic compared to the drivel that I cannot unread.
I sometimes wish my brain can do selective amnesia so I can unread all the OOC JWY fics I've read in my dark history. 😓
Let's take a look at why he would never allow someone who was at least not his own child or blood relative to become an heir of YunmengJiang and why he shall remain a bachelor for the rest of his lonely angry lifespan.
First of all, I don't think it was really mentioned, but I doubt JWY is the last Jiang besides JL.
He might be the last main line Jiang there is within immediate succession. Maybe he had relatives who married out to come back to bolster the ranks or there were non-clan Jiang disciples who were not prevented from nighthunting were out on a hunt and escaped the massacre to rejoin the sect.
How many besides the main clan are actual gentry? Not a lot unless they married in or they were civilian gentry that joined (I'm calling it civilian gentry cause there was the Mo Family who were a non-cultivation family ruling their village)
I'm guessing not a lot in the Jiang Clan too. The Sect more or less survived the war but the Jiang Clan was probably down to JFM, JYL, and JWY. With JYL marrying out and JFM and YZY dying, the Jiang Clan was unfortunately left with JWY to continue the bloodline. Sucks for them.
YZY would probably roll in her grave, claw her way out of hell, and become a fierce corspe just to make sure that no one other than her children or her grandchildren were to inherit the throne of sect leader. And I believe JWY would think the same as her or seek approval from his parents even after death. Nor would he grant the Jiang name to anyone that wasn't his blood related family. Plus I think he'd rather slit his own throat than adopt some child.
Another thing is the tag Adopted WWX that gets me annoyed sometimes. In the novel he was never adopted he was just taken in as a ward and treated like nuisance. So it confounds me that people actually write how WWX was always in the clan registry or that JWY had the option of naming WWX as Jiang Heir.
If in the novel JFM couldn't deign to give WWX at least legal familial support through adoption why would JWY?
JWY who blamed WWX for a lot of things he never did and still blames him. Who couldn't even look at WWX's relationship with LWJ without sneering in disgust. Would actually give him a position of power that means the most to his egotistical life. Yeah nuh uh. 😑
As for a Jiang heir, he also would never appoint any of his disciples that position. Much less if they were rogue cultivators or backgroundless civilians that he recruited during the war. Much lesser if they were trained by WWX of all people.
He treats all of his disciples like subordinates where his command was unquestioned. What WWX was not are the qualities he looks for in his disciples. JWY would prefer all of his disciples to stay far away from any behavior WWX had. His disciples didn't blink an eye to when WWX was being dragged into an inn to most likely be tortured to death.
As long as JWY lives and breathes and has the final say so he would never appoint, WWX or any of his disciples Jiang heir. Only by some miracle he actually gets married and has a child will the Jiang Clan have an heir because he is mostly like to die single. Also YunmengJiang sect would probably be fine under temporary leadership of someone who is not the Jiang Clan heir.
So why would he forever remain a single fermented grape?
JC stans are probably the only ones that would marry him and those don't exist in the MDZS universe.
One. He was blacklisted by all the matchmakers in Yunmeng.
I would say it takes skill to become rejected by an entire region of eligible families and their daughters. But no he is just an ***hole who can't keep his opinions to himself and aims to be as rude and derisive as possible towards perfectly fine ladies. In the audio drama he insulted a lady's choice of colors and perfume for smelling like, and I quote, "noxious poison". I mean wtf?! If that's how he treats all the females then it's no wonder he's not married yet. Plus three more off screen blind dates that went horrible.
Two. He will never marry because he has standards.
Standards he will probably not budge on. Those were: naturally beautiful, graceful and obedient, hard-working and thrifty, coming from a respected family, cultivation level not too high, personality not too strong, not too talkative, voice not too loud and must treat Jin Ling nicely.
The last one is the only relatively reasonable standard he has set. The rest is just him being picky he might as well get a doll dress it in red and marry it.
Three. No one in their sane state of mind would marry someone with the reputation of a rabid dog.
JWY, has gone on to torture people of inconsequential backgrounds, to death, for years. I say inconsequential because I doubt he would target people who had societal backing. People like Xue Yang who was under the Jins and proven to be a homicidal demonic cultivator with a record of massacring entire clans who he did not pursue because he is a coward.
The slightest suspicion not always with verified proof a person gets dragged to Lotus Pier to be flayed to death with a lightning whip. He barely even proves any of his victims to be demonic cultivators before whipping them or interrogating them further. Lots of firm connotations and even secondhand accounts of people being violently whipped on the the docks of Lotus pier.
WWX as MXY was already allegedly proven to not be possessed but JWY still insists on dragging him to Lotus Pier.
WWX dodged a bullet when LWJ was there to protect him.
Someone tell me if I'm not too far off and this is a viable argument that JWY will remain heirless or at least single for the rest of his f***ed up natural life? And would never name a Jiang heir that doesn't meet his requirements. Maybe even add to this discussion. Much appreciated 😌.

Omg I just realized, if the con saw C!Blitz, they’d probably be the first to figure out that Blitz is down bad for Bee before anyone else. Like they know seeker speak like the back of their servos, and Blitz is out here acting like a sparkling who just grew in their wings. And if u combine this with the good cons au, then maybe Lugnut goes ahead and tries giving him advice since he’s the only conjunxed mech on earth lmao.
XD that's just great
Yeah the Decepticons would definitely notice something is up with one of the Autobot seekers. I think since Blitz is not a 'con, it's Lugnut and Strika coming to earth. And they are conjuxed to each other.
It's Strika that points out Blitzwing's odd behavior to Lugnut during their encounters. If we mix in the Cons Are Good AU, then Lugnut would set his 2nd prioty to be the matchmaker and get them together since his Lord always told the importance of having someone to rely on and was proud when he bonded with Strika.
When Blitzwing is out wandering and wondering how to impress his crush that's when Lugnut shows up and starts his thing. Oddly enough he and Blitzwing become somewhat like friends in the process. Strika is out there also trying to be a matchmaker, wrecking specific stuff but not too much so the yellow mini would show up and then Blitzwing will have a chance to make him swoon.
Blitzwing is surely doing some weird stuff cuz Lugnut told him it'll work and Bee has no idea what is happening but is still into it. It's like that HTTYD 3 meme.
He'll try to be rough and all since apparently it works(for Decepticons), meanwhile Bee is over there trying hard not to laugh at him since Blitz is so bad at playing the bad guy.
Blitz thinks he's failing at courting his hummel but in reality Bee is only getting more excited to what comes next.
The others have absolutely no idea what these two are up to, they're both weird and the others endured enough mental damage with stupid shit Bee and Sari do sometimes to try and understand what is happening.
Sari on the other hand is trying to wingman Bee with impressing the cool Elite Guard, she's too young to suspect something is up. She thinks that Bee has found an idol and is trying to make him his best friend.
This AU will go on my "Adopted Things" list now, thank you.

3 12 13 25 for Zyn!
thank u!! :D
for those unaware, Zynnia is my witchsona tho now they're more of their own character.
3. What genre would your OC do badly in but it would be hilarious or interesting to watch?
idk why the first thought that came into my mind was Romantic Comedy. i mean they did have a sort of an awkward first meeting with their.. partner? their relationship with Eatos is kinda undefined. trying to reframe "some weird person coming to the cabin you're squatting at after recently becoming possessed, telling you to get out of their property, and making you have horrible visions with their magic stick" as a meet cute would be hilarious. doubly so if you make both their spirits act as matchmakers.
12. What animal would your OC have as their His Dark Materials daemon?
ohhhh inch resting question, since they do have a familiar! originally it was a pardine genet cause I just really liked how they looked, but it didn't make much sense thematically. afterwards I retconned it to be my former cat with the colors invented.
but i dont think that would make a fitting daemon? honestly i'd love to just make it a red panda, to match my witchsona with my fursona. apparently one exists in the show? i might have to check it out 👀
13. What Pokémon would be on your OC’s team and/or what would be their preferred type?
not sure if you did this on purpose but i love that you asked this question for the only character of the ones i mentioned that ISN'T from the pokemon world. i did pick two pokemon for Eatos forever ago but never for Zyn.
let's see….
• Absol would be a good partner, it senses danger and knows when catastrophes are about to happen, could be like a service dog and warn them when they're getting too stressed.
• Sawsbuck! something grass for their family and also antlers!
• did you know Gardevoir can apparently create small black holes, according to the Pokedex? yeah totally Zyn's shit. it being very protective of its trainer would be cute too.
• maybe Espurr as a stand in for their familiar? and also the whole "accidentally unleashes a huge destructive bursts of energy", they would get each other.
• Minior because stars…. maybe a shiny one…
• aaand Spiritomb. spirits kept contained into a stone is pretty fitting.
honorable mention to Cosmog. i really don't like giving legendary pokemon in these things but GOSH it would fit so perfectly, specialty considering how powerful the space spirit possessing Zyn is…
25. What would be your OC’s My Little Pony cutie mark?
man having a regular zinnia would be pretty funny, but i guess it defeats the purpose since the whole point is they tried to summon the spirit cause they sucked at plant magic.
uhhh maybe just a black hole, stylized like the one from Interstellar. and they got it when they got possessed, but they try to hide it or pretend it's smth else.
actually i thought it would be fun to give a shot designing them quickly
fucked up horse

your matchmaker of the stars game is truly the loveliest thing i’ve seen today! i would love to have one done if that’s alright?
my sun is in aquarius, my moon in libra, my ascendant is virgo, and my venus falls in capricorn.
thank you in advance, and have the loveliest of days 🫶🏻 (also i believe your reach is working as things are starting to show up in the tags!)
⊹ masterlist ⊹ taglist ⊹ game ⊹
LOADING... COMPLETED ! THE RESULTS HAD BEEN DECODED !
the lyran mage have matched you with LOGAN SARGEANT!
- logan's pisces moon lands in the opposition of your virgo rising which is the 7th house of relationship. he is something of mystic and a little mysterious and i think you'd love someone who is gentle soul too! your ascendant may fall on his sixth or seventh house that is apparently empty. but he may have seen glimpses of you in his dreams (that he clearly forgets after some time) and he may have felt that you look familiar in the first time you meet.
- with your aquarius sun, it falls on his eleventh house where his venus, uranus and neptune is sitting on. this creates a little bit of delusion / idealism towards you and he may get cocky in the first time you meet (in which i pray he wouldn't.) this ken comes with a knack for blondes, if your a blonde then you're immediately be a goddess for him.
- with logan being an aries rising, your libra moon could possibly land in his 7th or 8th house. however, there's still idealism wrapped around in this synastry and that's mainly on him. but regardless, let him be delusional for now. he'll be the happiest boy if you become his girlfriend and he'll probably show you off to his friends. it's giving highschool couple between a jock and a prep lmao
- your capricorn venus has him on chokehold ma'am, it could ace his capricorn sun + mercury. can you be his girlfriend now? because he couldn't wait to be yours!
- bonus: he doesn't know what a kilometer is and that is a fact. he is definitely american-american.
any thoughts? thank you for participating! 𔘓

I am not usually a particularly omegaverse person (I like it well enough but have never written it) but I woke up this morning with absolute brain worms over a scenario i can only describe as “jonathan toews: log cabin omega” or possibly “jonathan toews is the most pick me omega of all time”
If you were to ask jonathan toews at 17, he’d say actually there isn't a problem with the league's attitude toward omegas and it isn't harder to play on suppressants and you can be the first omega captain of an NHL team by 25 as per your elaborate personal vision board. He’s given many interviews on the subject, both to teams - even the Habs’ coaching team, who tried the stupid pheromone rag trick at the combine - and to matchmakers, who are helping him find someone suitable to settle down with.
Sure, suitable means older and dull and often slightly leery, but being part of a stable bond with someone who can take care of his dynamic needs will make him more appealing to the league, and jonny is going to be on suppressants while he plays anyway, and by the time he retires, surely he and whoever the agency find will have come to some kind of arrangement.
TJ may say that sounds like a lifetime of drudgery and loneliness, but TJ doesn’t even have a vision board, so.
Everything will be fine.
Except when jonathan toews is 18, he goes to the draft and accidentally bonds with one of chicago’s defencemen the night before he’s supposed to go to pittsburgh, and it suddenly becomes apparent that the veil of acceptance is very, very thin.
Jonny was so perfect for so long and his one moment of madness - his one last fling before he was going to drop out of college and get his bond of convenience - and he’s fucking flash bonded, and when he tries to leave the draft without seabs, whose full name he now realises he doesn’t know, he has a shameful panicky meltdown and his alpha - oh jesus, what the fuck - has to be fetched to help him.
“This is exactly why we don’t have your sort in the league,“ say a lot of people who were previously very keen to draft jonny, who is sent back to college in disgrace. It’s awful now - he was in a pretty good position before, allowed to do what he wanted, but now he’s been relegated to the omega-only dorm and has a curfew of all things. The pastoral team tell him isolation should make the bond fade faster while the athletic department clearly feel he just needs a good dicking down from literally anyone. Meanwhile seabs is sending him these soppy emails about bringing him to chicago and having him play there, how much he misses jonny, how they’re trying to close the bond off at his end and it’s not working, but seabs seems happy about this. like this bullshit is something he wants.
after a semester of misery he goes to a bond clinic to try and help things along. It doesn't work, partly because his brother sneaks him a phone and he spends all his time texting seabs. Seabs has a picture of himself standing next to the stanley cup as a boy, and he has slotted jonny's picture next to it. He sends a picture of this craft project to jonny with the caption "boom. Board complete." jonny stares at it until the clinic staff find his phone and take it away, at which point he thinks fuck it, and skips out during David’s next visit, planning on showing up in chicago and demanding they give him staal’s spot and seabs and everything else he wants, because fuck them he hasn’t changed, and they’d have taken him if they could and they know it.
...something something they live happily ever after, there is a scene where secret omega patrice bergeron tries to teach jonny the subtle art of lying well, seabs is besotted and simply thinks jonny should be handed everything he wants immediately, how dare you say he “lacks impulse control” and “isn’t leadership material”, seabs would have punched out that guy and judy’s tavern too (”stop bringing that up,” jonny grits out for the fifth time)

new developments.
yesterday in my apes class my friend A told me that the drama teacher went and met all of the people who are doing pit band for the musical. then i got out of class and the drama teacher stopped me in the hallway to tell me that she had asked the band director "so we want our tanya to interact and flirt with people in the band can you think of anyone who might be willing to do that back" (the drama teacher knows about my crush and is enabling it) and apparently the band director said "oh our piano 1 (leo) would be good for that". so now my flirting with him during the show is not just a me thing but also will now be coordinated with the band director and theater teacher and the choreographer (shoot me). then i told that friend A (who is also friends with leo) that i have feelings for him and did he have any advice and also i would appreciate if he didnt tell leo bc i dont want him to find out like this. he says okay & gives no good advice. i go to the band concert with my friends. leo steps onstage in concert blacks and i die a little. we are texting back and forth throughout the concert its great. after the concert i want to tell him that he looks nice but dont know how so its just a bit awkward and i tell him that someone in our gov class filed a report against our gov teacher and then i walk away and say see you on monday even though i knew i would probably see him again. find my other friends. one of them who was performing with the band says to me "sadie right before we went on i heard A say to leo "sadie is definitely not into you"" i lose it a little. leo comes back out and we talk and he walks with me out and then yells my name and waves when he drives by me walking to my dads car. i do not know what to do. i am lost. if i leave things as is i am letting him get the idea that i am "definitely not into him". if i say something and he doesn't reciprocate things become awkward as we do the show because apparently all of the performing arts department is conspiring to matchmake us. killing myself!

Sleepless in Seattle (1993)
Written and directed by Nora Ephron, this romantic comedy stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan as recently widowed Sam Baldwin and newly engaged Annie Reed in a story partly inspired by the film An Affair to Remember.
The supporting cast includes: Bill Pullman as Annie’s fiancé Walter Jackson, Rob Reiner as Sam’s friend Jay Matthews, Rosie O’Donnell as Annie’s best friend/co-worker Becky and Ross Malinger as Sam’s 8-year-old son Jonah. Special appearances include Rita Wilson (Tom Hanks’ real-life wife) as Sam’s sister Suzy and Victor Garber as Sam’s brother-in-law Greg.
Tom Hanks’ compelling performance prompts us to sympathize with his character. Meg Ryan is just lovely, which complements her character’s charm and effervescent personality. Although they spend most of the time apart, the two leads form an on-screen connection that gradually becomes apparent as the story unfolds.
The film itself is basically a throwback to the old-fashioned depiction of cinematic romance. For example, the main characters are first seen in their own separate lives, each with a different perspective on how they perceive love. To Sam, even though he has the capacity to love (since he and his wife had something special), he’s understandably skeptical about the idea of being introduced to some woman who’s a total stranger. To Annie, she fantasizes (though in a slightly unconventional manner) about the idea of meeting her dream man upon realizing she doesn’t share the same magical connection with Walter as she does towards Sam. All in all, those particular feelings demonstrate the difference between realism and romanticism.
In contrast to An Affair to Remember, this movie depicts Jonah playing matchmaker via a call-in radio talk show in the hopes of finding a new partner for his father (fortunately, Annie happens to be one of the many female listeners tuning in), whereas the main characters of the former film are brought together by a number of events during a transatlantic crossing. Eventually, Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr’s characters agree to see each other again. However, Annie requests that she meet Sam in person with Jonah responding on behalf of his father. Annie’s rendezvous stems from her desire to recreate what she’d seen in the movies to find out whether or not she and Sam are meant to be together. Furthermore, a running gag shows Annie, Becky and Suzy bursting into tears by the impact of the 1957 melodrama, while Sam, Greg and Jonah are completely unmoved by it.
The story is also focused on the pros and cons of a long distance relationship in which Sam and Annie live in Seattle and Baltimore, respectively. Seattle (where the lead male character has relocated) has been considered a rainy city, which represents Sam’s grieving state of mind despite his attempt to move on. Meanwhile, Annie is out of touch with reality since her idea of a happy love life is shaped by the cultural impact of love in the movies. It goes to show that unlike the traditional formula of a romantic comedy, this movie deliberately keeps the two love interests separated from each other, but it still provides a sense of hope.
The soundtrack contains a collection of classic hits from various artists. The track list includes: “A Kiss to Build a Dream On” by Louis Armstrong, “Back in the Saddle Again” by Gene Autry and “Stand by Your Man” by Tammy Wynette. Additional songs include cover versions of “As Time Goes By”, “Stardust”, “Makin’ Whoopee”, “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning”, “Bye Bye Blackbird”, and “Make Someone Happy” ranging from Jimmy Durante to Joe Cocker. The film even includes the original song “A Wink and a Smile” by Harry Connick Jr and a moving duet version of “When I Fall in Love” by Clive Griffin and Celine Dion.
Thanks to Nora Ephron’s resourceful storytelling, we see a timeless classic about taking chances and following our hearts. All that said, I sincerely recommend this sweet, endearing masterpiece to every fan of both Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

scene of kotaro protecting hiyori and hina from a soccer ball was originally aizo protecting them and hiyori thinking he was a little kind
originally in the novels when hiyori was running through the city to deliver the merch she hid under a table to avoid being spotted by a classmate and she fell asleep and aizo and yujiro found her and praised her (well, if "you were kinda useful" counts as praise)
the next chapter immediately starts by revealing that yujiro has apparently been watching hiyori jog while walking his dog and he thinks about her smile back when he first saw her and how she runs without taking her eyes off her goal. he ends up stuck with aizo (both of them brought their pets to the groomer at the same time and waited in the same cafe and had to share a table) and they talk about work which becomes a discussion of hiyori and how hard she's working and yujiro, for some reason, asks aizo for help training to jog and wakes up early for this training and when aizo asks why, yujiro reveals he's joining a marathon hiyori's participating in?? aizo goes "i didn't know you liked jogging" and yujiro goes "i don't" and aizo is so confused. and i am too.
there was a scene of hiyori trying to see if she could do one of aizo and yujiro's dances and they tease her for being bad at it before. dragging her into their dance lesson so he learns properly
originally hiyori ended up staying at her job because she and yujiro had a moment alone under the stars. he was being ambushed by fans so she decided the solution was to kidnap him and run with him far far away but she ended up lost. yujiro laughed genuinely at how unpredictable she was before inviting her to keep working for him and aizo and hiyori agreed because she realized that she had gained a second dream of supporting aizo and yujiro as they reached for their goals.
the epilogue was like the last episode's final moment of hiyori helping aizo and yujiro by dancing in a mascot costume but the anime misses the context of how she's only good at it because she joined their dance lesson earlier + the yujiro being hiyori and aizo's princess scene + the fact that hiyori stared that the photo so long she fell asleep still holding her phone with the picture of them kissing her on the cheeks while thinking "this isn't a dream" (literally "this is non-fantasy" and i will go insane explaining how it contrasts the prologue if i get into it)
the nagisa episodes are weird because. he literally didn't exist in the novels
originally the story on that was literally that hiyori fell in love at first sight with this princely guy she met. aizo and yujiro keep going "you barely know anything about him, why do you like him?" which they're not wrong about, but when they make her cry, they switch tracks and decide to matchmake her with her crush. aizo for some reason chin-tilts her while declaring they'll turn her into cinderella.
there are so many bonding scenes missing in the anime because they're missing the angle of aizo and yujiro matchmaking hiyori and doing strategy meetings to help her with her crush
her crush REJECTED HER and yujiro wiped her tears with his sleeve and comforted her and walked her home
hiyori also got a bracelet to help her with said crush but it broke when she stood between yujiro and the senpai being mean to him and her wrist got grabbed. yujiro almost got violent with the guys for hurting her and then he gave the love bracelet said to give luck in love back to hiyori before she confessed to her crush. she did not manage to date her crush but she got closer to yujiro and aizo so who did that bracelet help her with
aizo gives her advice several times
missing a scene where yujiro confronted his fear of insects to help hiyori shoo a bee out a window.... and showed up after she did it herself
missing the chapter where hiyori protects yujiro from a mugger by literally tackling the thief and twisting her ankle. yujiro yells at her for being reckless before throwing an ice pack and a drink at her and hiyori asks aizo for advice on how to apologize. said advice is "just do it he's not mad" and he's right, yujiro just laughs it off and teases hiyori for being helpless. hiyori blushes and feels her heart race at this.
missing the chapter where hiyori fills in for a missing actress and poses in a photoshoot with aizo and yujiro... and screams and blushes the whole time because they have to hug her for it. when she's given the photos after the photoshoot she looks at the photos and thinks that she understands why their fans love them so much (because they're cool and princely) but she finds a photo of aizo and yujiro smiling at her genuinely... she thinks it's a photo of them smiling not as idols, but as normal high school boys and thinks that the photo is a precious treasure. and then she keeps it.
missing the epilogue of hiyori inviting aizo and yujiro to go to the shrine with her for new years. yujiro doesnt show up while aizo does so aizo's response is to bring hiyori to break into yujiro's house together. they climb a tree to get to yujiro's window and when he asks what they're doing, they smile at him and go "we came to pick you up" ("yujiro is the princess" scene counter: 2) yujiro BURSTS INTO GENUINE LAUGHTER at their actions and hiyori blushes because she's weak to his smile. when they get to the shrine hiyori wishes for aizo and yujiro's dreams to come true. they tease her over it, but when she trips, they help her up with genuine smiles and hiyori thinks 'no matter what happens in the future, i'll be okay as long as i'm with these two'
this is missing a lot of things but yeah this is. broad strokes what is not in the anime.
WAIT WHAT THE SHIT . THATS SO INSANE OOOUUGUFHFUFHGJDJSIS
#BY GOD . How did they even exclude all of that that’s all so ..???#my brain is melting this is so awesome I love polyamory#non fantasy#egggy asks
