Girl i lost any remaining bit of respect I had for Louis. The audacity to belittle and encourage bullying of larries when it’s those larries who kept him from completely flopping and ending up like Liam. Now what he’s left with is a few die hard nostalgic 1d stans lmao. And I’m laughing so hard at him wanting to attract a male audience who’s gonna tell him it won’t ever happen🤣🤣 at the end of the day he’s an already washed up artist at 30 whose only relevance was being part of 1d and part of the 1st hugely popular ship. I’m being bitter and petty sorry let me vent in peace 🤣🤣 I already left mentally years ago but I still check in from times to times and that was the final nail in the coffin, goodbye y’all
Tumblr media
you know the best part? Liam still has more monthly listeners than Louis on Spotify

FANGIRLING OVER ANOTHER GROUP / EN-
synopsis: how would they react to you admiring and cheering for another group that's not his own.
if you've seen the clips from the fansign where the fan asked them about jealously, just know I used that as a basis for this.
HEESEUNG 이희승 ~
doesn't really affect him that much
will question it but won't be jealous
"why are you so giddy over him?"
Lounging comfortably on the couch in the living room, the television screen captivated your attention, featuring a fancam of Beomgyu from TXT. You couldn't contain your excitement, emitting joyful squeals whenever he flashed different expressions and eagerly moving your arms in response to his dance moves, particularly those that synced with your favorite parts of the song. In the midst of your fangirling, you even found yourself yelling Beomgyu's name as if you were in the audience of a live concert. Unbeknownst to you, your boyfriend had silently entered the room and was observing your enthusiastic display from behind.
As for Heeseung's reaction, he initially stood there, quietly observing you, a mixture of amusement and slight surprise flickering across his features. He couldn't help but smile at your unabashed excitement over Beomgyu's performance. However, a twinge of curiosity and maybe even a hint of jealousy crept into his thoughts. Heeseung didn't mind you being a fan of other groups, but seeing you so enthralled by someone else, especially a friend of his, stirred up a myriad of emotions within him. He pondered whether to interrupt your moment or simply enjoy the sight of you lost in your fandom bliss.
As Heeseung observed you lost in the excitement of watching Beomgyu's performance, he couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Seems like someone's having a good time," he remarked, stepping closer to get a better view of the TV screen.
You jumped at the sound of his voice, turning around quickly. "Oh, hey!" you exclaimed, a sheepish grin spreading across your face as you realized you'd been caught in the act of fangirling.
Heeseung raised an eyebrow playfully. "Enjoying the show, are we?" he teased, leaning against the back of the couch.
You nodded eagerly, a flush of embarrassment tinting your cheeks. "Yeah, Beomgyu's just so talented!" you gushed, trying to explain your excitement.
Heeseung chuckled again, a fond smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I can see that," he replied, reaching over to ruffle your hair affectionately. "Just don't forget about your number one idol right here."
You laughed, swatting his hand away playfully. "Of course not! You know you're my favorite," you assured him, leaning in to press a quick kiss to his cheek.
Heeseung grinned, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and pulling you close. "That's what I like to hear," he said, pressing a kiss to the top of your head as the two of you settled in to enjoy the rest of the performance together.
JAY 박종성 ~
is not comfortable
doesn't enjoy seeing you gush and blush over another idol
and isn't afraid to communicate that with you
Jay couldn't help but feel a pang of discomfort. He shifted uneasily, his expression betraying his inner turmoil as he observed you gushing and blushing over another idol.
"Hey," he spoke up, his tone gentle yet firm, "I gotta be honest with you. It's kinda weird for me to see you like this with someone else."
You turned to him, noticing the seriousness in his eyes. "Oh, Jay," you said, reaching out to touch his arm, "I didn't realize it was bothering you. I'm sorry."
Jay sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's not your fault," he admitted, "but I just... I don't enjoy seeing you so into another idol like that."
You nodded understandingly, feeling a pang of guilt for not considering his feelings earlier. "I get it," you replied softly, "and I appreciate you telling me. I'll try to tone it down."
A small smile tugged at the corners of Jay's lips. "Thanks," he said, his tone more relaxed now. "I know it's silly, but I just can't help feeling a little jealous sometimes."
You leaned in to give him a reassuring hug. "It's not silly at all," you assured him, "and I'll make sure you know you're my number one."
Jay returned the hug, feeling grateful for your understanding. As the two of you settled back on the couch, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief knowing that you were willing to consider his feelings.
JAKE 심재윤 ~
jealous little puppy
will sulk, pout, give your puppy eyes, all of it
throws the question at you "what if i fanboy-ed over someone else?"
Jake couldn't help but feel like a jealous little puppy. He sat there, silently pouting, his expression a mix of puppy eyes and a slight sulky demeanor as he watched you gush over another idol.
Finally unable to contain his feelings any longer, Jake turned to you, his voice tinged with a hint of insecurity. "Hey," he began, his tone a little hesitant, "what if I fanboyed over someone else? How would you feel?"
You turned to him, surprised by the sudden question. "Oh, Jake," you replied, reaching out to gently stroke his arm, "I wouldn't mind at all. It's natural to admire others."
Jake's expression softened, but he still couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. "But what if I got as excited as you do?" he persisted, his puppy eyes pleading for reassurance.
You smiled, leaning in to press a kiss to his cheek. "Then I'd join you," you said, your voice filled with sincerity. "Because at the end of the day, you're the one I love the most."
Jake's face lit up at your words, his jealousy melting away as he wrapped his arms around you in a tight hug. "Thanks," he murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. "I guess I'm just a possessive puppy sometimes."
You chuckled, snuggling closer to him. "That's okay," you replied, "because you're my possessive puppy." And with that, the two of you settled back to enjoy the rest of the performance, knowing that your love for each other was stronger than any fleeting moment of jealousy.
SUNGHOON 박성훈 ~
JEALOUSSSSSS MAN RIGHT HERE
maybe won't show it as much as the other members
but would mutter "I'm better than him"
Sunghoon couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy bubbling within him. He tried to keep it under wraps, not wanting to show it as much as some of the other members, but the feeling lingered, simmering just beneath the surface.
"Lee Know, huh?" Sunghoon muttered under his breath, his tone laced with a mixture of competitiveness and insecurity. "I'm better than him."
You glanced over at him, catching his muttered words, and couldn't help but chuckle at his playful rivalry. "Sunghoon," you teased, nudging him gently, "there's no need to compare yourself. You're amazing in your own right."
Sunghoon couldn't help but smile at your words, feeling a little reassured by your encouragement. "Thanks," he replied, a hint of gratitude in his voice. "But I can't help it sometimes, you know?"
You nodded understandingly, reaching over to squeeze his hand affectionately. "I know," you said softly, "but just remember, you're the one I love, no matter what."
Sunghoon's smile widened at your words, his jealousy fading away as he focused on the warmth of your love. "I won't forget that," he promised, leaning in to press a tender kiss to your forehead. And with that, the two of you settled back to enjoy the rest of the performance, Sunghoon feeling secure in the knowledge that your heart belonged to him.
SUNOO 김선우 ~
not the jealous type
will fanboy with you
jut happy to see you happy
"Sunoo, you have to see this! The new music video from my favorite K-pop group just dropped!" YN exclaims, her eyes shining with excitement as she shows him her phone.
Sunoo smiles at her enthusiasm. "Sounds like a plan! Let's check it out together."
They settle onto the couch, YN leaning against Sunoo as she pulls up the video on her laptop. As the music video starts playing, YN can't contain her excitement, pointing out her favorite parts.
"Oh my gosh, Sunoo, look at this choreography! It's incredible!" YN squeals, nudging Sunoo excitedly.
Sunoo watches with amusement, enjoying YN's excitement as they watch together. When YN's favorite member appears on screen, she lets out a delighted squeal.
"He's so talented and cute! Isn't he?" YN gushes, turning to Sunoo with a blush. "But you know, you're the one I find the most talented and cute."
JUNGWON 양정원 ~
mine, only mine mindset
is very jealous and will show it
no, just no in his eyes
As you clapped and cheered, your eyes alight with admiration, you felt a sudden chill wash over you. Turning, you met Jungwon's intense gaze. His jaw was clenched, his expression tight with barely contained jealousy. You could practically feel the waves of disapproval emanating from him.
"Y/N," he said through gritted teeth, his voice low but sharp. "What are you doing?"
Confused, you tried to brush off his demeanor, "Just enjoying the show, Jungwon. Isn't it fantastic?"
But Jungwon's possessive grip tightened around your hand, his eyes darting between you and the stage. "They're not us. Why are you cheering for them?"
His words stung, his jealousy palpable in the air. You attempted to reassure him, "It's just music, Jungwon. It doesn't mean I love you any less."
But Jungwon's insecurities seemed to consume him. His grip tightened even more, his knuckles turning white. "No, it's not just music. It's about loyalty. You should only support me, Y/N. I'm the one you should be cheering for, not them."
His words sent a chill down your spine. You hadn't realized the depth of his possessiveness until now. Attempting to defuse the situation, you gently pulled away from him, trying to reason with him. "Jungwon, I love you, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate other artists. It doesn't diminish what we have."
But Jungwon's jealousy was a raging fire, consuming rational thought. "No, it's not enough. I won't have you cheering for anyone else but me."
NI-KI 西村 力 ~
chill, doesn't feel an ounce of jealousy
you come home to him anyway, he's so secure in himself and you
just the healthy amount of jealousy to show he's actually into you
"Hey, babe," he greeted you, setting his controller aside and standing up to welcome you with open arms. "So, how was your day?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine interest as he led you to the couch and poured you a cup of coffee.
As you recounted the events of your day, you couldn't help but mention a friend's excitement about a concert they attended, cheering for a band that wasn't Niki's own.
To your surprise, Niki's reaction was far from what you expected. Instead of insecurity or jealousy, his expression remained calm and understanding. "That sounds like fun," he remarked, his tone casual as he reached for your hand, intertwining his fingers with yours. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."
And as you snuggled up together on the couch, basking in each other's company, you knew that with Niki, you had found a love that was secure, unwavering, and truly unconditional.

go you girl ♥ ot5 + you!
aka.. y/n getting princess treatment from her members and having the best relationship with them
Tumblr media
notes : hiiii! this is one of my favorite things to write i am absolutely in love with sixth member reader.. anyways this could be seen as romantic or platonic!! definitely written with best friends to lvrs in mind but that’s because that’s my fav trope.. gulp
warnings: fem reader, not proofread, lowkey tension in yeonjun nothing bad though, serious mutual pining in beomgyus, size difference with reader and hyuka.. (tell me if i missed any!)
yeonjun :
y’all definitely have sibling-type relationship..
BUT NOT IN A GOOD WAY. on camera y’all act like you 100% hate eachother.
maybe the best fans are getting is a forced hug
maybe a shared slam on one of your other members..
but behind closed doors? you’re actually best friends.
laying in his arms as he plays with your hair as you watch a corny movie, painting his nails, helping him pick out outfits, maybe even doing his makeup is some of your favorite things to do together…
maybeee you have some tension after that one “challenge for acting!” on m2…? (PLEASE KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.)
maybeeeeee he actually kissed you when you get back to the dorms!! we’ll never know! 🫣
onto princess treatment.. you definitely get it from this man.
remember the whole sibling thing? yeah.
”don’t you want something from the store?”
”yn, do you want me to buy you this?”
”i’ll get it for you. oh my god.”
rumor has it, if you complain about not having something long enough it’ll appear in your room along with your favorite snack~ yeonjun swears it’s the hybe santa..
soobin :
you guys are an UNSTOPPABLE DUO.
sometimes it feels like you’re the only two with sense in that group ….
you two have bonded over the fact that maybe you’re the only sensible ones in there!
he hasn’t told you.. but he definitely likes spending alone time with you.. so he lies and says you’re definitely better than everyone in the group (you’re not. you’re literally worse than huening kai..)
”no no no no yn!! you’re so responsible!” you spent 200 on albums for a group you fangirled for the other night.
he also loves giving you nicknames!! maybe it’s the leader in him, but he’s almost like your father figure?? (it literally doesn’t matter how old you are, he’s like your second dad.)
”silly, mini-me, *something based on your animal*” it is never ending!!!
you being the only girl doesn’t help how he practically acts like your dad…
”ynnnnnnnn.. when did you go to sleep last night..”
“um!!! 9:00!”
“then why did i hear the door close at 11:00? huh??”
“i was practicing….”
he gives you THAT look. you know the one your parents give you when they’re upset?
”im not mad. just disappointed.”
”okay daddddd..” new nickname am i right?
ANYWAYS
this man is the king of princess treatment.
opening your water for you.. you didn’t ask?
“i knew you would…” he says, handing your the bottle with a shrug.
beomgyu :
well well well if it isn’t my favorite man to write for mutual pining!
like.. you two have been best friends since you were trainees..
and you too were so obvious with the flirting…
BUT YOU WERE BOTH SO OBLIVIOUS TO EACHOTHER.
beomgyu would always hug you from behind at practice, pretending to be interested in what you were looking at..
he really just likes hugging you..
but i feel like your relationship would just be very touchy yk??
likeeee.. let’s say you’ve been going to the gym more, the second you wear even a shorter top..
he is poking those abs ‼️
”i dunno yn.. might be getting better than taehyun!”
OR HES ALSO LIKE YEONJUN. he loves having you in his arms, telling jokes and random gossip as his fingers ghost over the neck he’s “jokingly” marked when you were both drunk..
anyways
his favorite thing to say to you is “i’ll do it!”
”i got it!” “let me do it yn!!”
this man will never let you do anything yourself..
he’s grabbing things from a cabinet you could totally reach, buying you things you can most definitely afford, even doing your hair for you sometimes (which he’s surprisingly good at ??)
he’s also very very very protective
like he’ll get you a blanket if you’re wearing a skirt, or he’ll stand behind you on tour to make sure nobody is being a weirdoooo <3
(can y’all tell i gushed on his..)
taehyun :
you two are the embodiment of sunshine protector x sunshine!!!
in “ to-do “ you could literally be jumping around and giggling in one side of the frame and taehyun could just be like
:>
YALL ARE SO CUTE
it’s like a perfect combo , like one of you do too much one of y’all do little!!!
he loves hugging you.. and you love it too!!
the way his arms wrap around you tightly, the way he picks you up a little, and the way his fingers linger around the hem of your shirt before he pulls away..
his cute little thing he does is he always takes your recommendations..
like i 100% see him adding the song you recommended to his playlist or the drink you always drink sitting on the desk in his room
”what do you have there, tyunnie?” you ask as you peer into his room. “the snack you always make me get at the store.. wanted to see the hype!” he smiles sheepishly.
he loves buying you things too
but he’s less shameless about it :3
‘I was at the store and I saw that album you wanted, can I get it for you?’ he texts you while he’s out and about !!
he just loves getting you stuff it’s insaneee
he’s also like beomgyu in the way he will do everything for you
”nah nah nah let me get it.”
king of princess treatment tbh
huening kai :
YALL ARE LITERALLY BEST FRIENDS IDGAF
you two are always caught together
“have you seen huening kai?” “umm probably with yn but that’s just a guess!”
he loves sharing things with you too
like snacks or drinks, indirect kissing?? who cares (huening kai.. his cheeks are always pink when you take a sip from his can >_<)
he loves laying in your lap
(but this might be because i will forever head canon hyuka as a thigh/tummy man…)
he literally just loves laying on you
HES LIKE A DOG WHO DOESNT REALIZE HOW BIG HES GOTTEN SINCE HE WAS A PUPPY SO HES ALMOST CRUSHING YOU BECAUSE OF THE SIZE DIFFERENCE
but you don’t care 👍👍
extremely obsessed with matching items
you guys have matching plushies and keychains just to match a few!
he literally started to look for things that reminded him of you to buy you
like he bought you a plushie of your rep animal just because
HES ALSO DEFINITELY THE ONE YOU COME TO AFTER PERFORMANCES
“you literally did so well ynieeeee!”
gives excellent hugs too
i feel like he’d also be really helpful if you had a wardrobe malfunction (+funny..)
wide eyes as he lowkey messes up the choreo to help fix whatever was wrong with your outfit :>
fans say y’all are basically siblings too
im just saying i headcannon YOU TWO as the best duo 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
༘⋆🍊💿💭 ⋆˙
i hope you liked theseeee! if you want i would love to hear any feedbackkk! have a nice day ♥ ♥

Not Weak ~ *Epel Felmier*
Tumblr media
Summary: Epel absolutely hates Vil's fangirls because they think they're in love with them. He thinks love and emotions make you weak. You're about to prove him wrong.
Pairing: Epel Felmier X G/N!Reader
Genre: Fluffy Drabble
Word Count: 834
Warning: Obnoxious fangirls
Masterlist
Taglist: @savanaclaw1996 @goseew
“Look at them, simpering over Vil like silly little school girls.”
You rolled your eyes at Epel’s grumblings. He always had something to say about Vil’s fangirls and their very obvious crushes. You tried to not let it get to you, but it was pretty annoying hearing about it day after day after day. It was even worse when he brought up Rook’s infatuation with the movie star.
“You’re still on that?”
“Still?! Look at them! Seven, he drives me crazy as he lets them live in their stupid little fantasies!” He growled, raking his fingers through his lilac hair. “He should just throw one of them a bone and date them, so then the rest can stop acting like lovesick children.”
“There are two things wrong with that,” you counted on your fingers. “First of all, can you imagine the fan wars that would start because of that? Things would be a lot worse than they are now! Second, there is no way Vil would ever date a fan.”
“You call those problems, I call that entertainment.” He snickered. “I would pay to see all of his fans go at each other’s throats just so they could date Vil. It would be ten times more entertaining if he chose Rook! Can you imagine it? The chaos would be amazing! But in a perfect world, I’d be as far away from these delusional fans as possible.” 
You crinkle your nose at his words. “What’s with your aversion to love, huh? Can’t you just let the fans live in her delusional world that Vil likes them back? Would that be so bad? Can’t you just let sleeping dogs lie?”
“I would if their air-headedness and screams didn’t bother the absolute shit out of me.” Epel began to pout which if your heart wasn’t stuttering in your chest, you’d call him cute. “I hate all of it. No one should be that infatuated with another person. It’s a sign of weakness you know.”
“Weakness? You think having feelings and showing emotion is a weakness?”
“Yeah, obviously.”
You were used to these kinds of conversations with him, but that didn’t mean it still didn’t hurt your heart. Apparently you were much better at hiding your crush on Epel than Vil’s fangirls were. But maybe that’s because you did go around screaming about how attractive and how kind he was. Perhaps if you acted more like them, he might get the hint you liked him more than a friend… 
But you weren’t a fangirl at all. And you had other ways of getting your point across. So instead you started laughing.
He looked at you with a raised eyebrow. “What are you on about?”
You waved your hand dismissively. “Nothing, nothing. It’s just, it’s very obvious you’ve never been kissed before and I find that very hilarious.”
Epel’s jaw dropped. “I HAVE BEEN KISSED BEFORE!”
“No you haven’t! If you’ve been kissed, good and proper, you wouldn’t be saying that having emotions is a weakness.”
“I have been kissed and I still think emotions make you weak!”
“Whatever you say, you kiss-virgin.” You shook your head before leaning in closer to him, a coy smile on your lips. “Just say you’ve never been kissed and I’ll stop teasing you.”
The light blush on Epel’s cheeks did not go unnoticed by you. You definitely had him right where you wanted him. Now all he needed to do was completely fall for your trap.
He stuttered as he answered you, “So what if I have never been kissed? What’s so great about kissing anyways, huh? I don’t see the big deal people have when it comes to love and kissing. I’m perfectly content never having-”
You kissed him.
It was a simple peck, no more than five seconds, as you didn’t want to get too overzealous and scare him. But even the briefest contact between your two lips had you practically soaring. It was a damn good kiss if you had to say so yourself. When you pulled away and noticed his eyes were slow to flutter open, you knew he felt the exact same way.
“There. Now you have been kissed.” You smiled smugly. “Still think emotions make you weak?”
He didn’t say anything at first. His fingertips brushed against his lips and he stared at you with half-lidded eyes. You didn’t think you had that kind of effect on him with just a simple little peck. Honestly, it made you feel flattered and more flustered.
Finally, Epel spoke, still holding that arrogant tone. “I wouldn’t say I’ve been kissed good and proper like you said. So I wouldn’t know.”
“Then let me change that.”
Never in your wildest dreams would you have imagined having a teenager make out session on a couch in the Pomefiore common room with your crush. But you're glad it was happening anyway. Perhaps now he wouldn’t think his emotions made him weak. Because you knew yours made you strong enough to love him.

On the topic of Flynn and Silver, I've found multiple of his answers to be almost infantilizing of Silver's character. Stuff like him being irresponsible with his powers and needing Whisper to keep an eye on him, his favourite food being mac and cheese (often considered a childish and easy-to-make dish, also lols there because Silver's been shown with apples at least half a dozen times), him getting all Goofy Silly Stuttering Awkward about being considered famous, and I also read something about him missing Amy's birthday party because he got the date wrong... Blegh. The fact that none of these are ever shown in any media that takes the franchise seriously aside, it's so incessantly bothersome to me how much of an idiot baby he makes Silver into. And "fans" just eat it up and coo over how ✨siwwee✨ little asthma-riddled asphalt-eating Silver with no social skills and who would keel over and die if he had to take two steps by himself is. (These are all claims I regularly see floating by, with, again, just about a negative basis in canon, lol.)
I truly cannot get my head around how people claim they like and respect a character, only for the version they have created in their minds to be a caricature/spit in the face of said character at best. Statements like "My interpretation of the character is not the correct one!! :)" can only get you so far if your interpretation features solely the outer shell of the character in question, in my honest opinion. And Flynn and his Bumblekast honestly seem to only be making the problem actively worse.
GOD YES.
But lets not act that it's purely Flynn who keeps fucking up the character. Stanley has a big hand in it too. Not surprising for someone who literally made art of him walking into a Lush then walking out spitting bubbles after eating the soaps in there :| Like, how do you view art of Silver using his PSI in a precise manner to deftly move packages (Assuming THEY EVEN VIEWED IT.)...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then morph him into being such a fucking amateur that he gets smothered by tools that he isn't shown to have the smallest control over?
Tumblr media
But lets not stop there in regards to the utter fail of a portrayal.
Compare Forces. In which Chad Silver went toe-to-toe with the monster that was dreaded by the Resistance because he turned the war in Dr Eggman's favour and singlehandedly killed multiple resistance fighters (The fact he lost isn't the point - Sonic did too. And he still held his own for an admirable amount of time against this supowered bully.);
Tumblr media
...To this Virgin mockery that was imperiled by a fucking EGG PAWN (And had to have a canon foreigner save his ass. Whom I'll add he fangirled over.);
Tumblr media
I'm not even a huge fan of Silver (Though he is in my top 25 characters.) and even I call bull on this slander. Fans rightly criticise IDW!Sonic all the time as the complete mangling of Sonic as a character that it is. But the consistently off-model, adaptational dumbass weakling that poor Silver was morphed into is arguably just as bad.

Hi can you do the tfp cons getting discover by humans and going viral but instead of panicking,they start fangirling and start treating them as celebrities please
You can almost hear the way Megatron is rolling his optics. He should have known that this would be how the general population of humans would react to the reveal of cybertronians. They can't even think two steps further and even consider what this might mean, what the bigger picture is. Well, he can't complain too much. At least now he knows that most of humanity will be fine with being enslaved once he conquers Earth. Besides, Megatron is used to the attention and the adoring fans, he was a popular gladiator once. Unconsciously starts making more poses when he notices a camera from now on (it's his past as a gladiator surfacing).
Soundwave instantly thinks of a hundred different ways to use this to the decepticon's advantage. Other than that he's mostly just amused by the reactions. If he gets caught on camera again he might do something silly like giving the viewers a peace sign or showing a meme on his face screen, just to troll them.
Well of course they adore him, he's Starscream after all! Humans might be lesser beings but even they can recognize his splendor! All of this positive attention really boosts Starscream's ego and he actively goes to the comment sections to read the humans gushing about him.
Knockout LOVES the attention and reading all the comments about how handsome he is and how amazing his paint job is. Finally, people are paying attention to his appearance. Somehow he starts to polish his armor even more, just in case he gets caught on camera again. It wouldn't do to disappoint his fans after all. Totally up for posing with anyone who wants to take a picture (though they are not allowed to touch him with their greasy, oily hands.)
All of this attention and praise makes Breakdown act all bashful. He saw several comments mentioning his "bodacious boobs" and now he can't stop covering his chest with his hands, just because of how aware he is of them now. Will also take a picture with his fans if they ask (he doesn't know how to say no) but acts really awkward about it. Will even do a quick pose if they ask nicely.
Shockwave just straight up don't care, though he is confused by all the requests of people wanting to be stepped on. Humans are odd, nonsensical creatures indeed.
Dreadwing don't really have much of an opinion of humans but he thinks this reaction is better than them panicking. Some day in the future, once the war is won, Earth will become part of decepticon rule and it's a good thing humans seem so willing to accept cybertronians.
Oh, now isn't this amusing? Airachnid will use the adoration of her fans to lure them into the woods and toy with them before ultimately killing them. Maybe she'll allow a few to live and turn them into henchmen. Honestly, she's just gonna be as evil as she's always been.

Nct Dream with Idol gf
A.N: I made this so quick, like lightning cause I wanted to post something, I swear im working on something and its coming soon so here what you get so long 💀💀
Mark
- deff your biggest hype man, like he’s always acting like a fan girl, like his reactions when you come on screen would be so funny.
- he also knows what its like to be over worked so I feel like he’d know how to deal with you when your feeling tired.
- he’d keep your Photocard with him all the time. Like maybe in his wallet or something like that.
- When it comes to you guys in public I feel like he’s surprisingly not obvious, yeah fans ship you but I don’t mark would make it AS OBVIOUS as people expect.
- he’ll definitely just steal some glances but he’d won’t do it often when your at events together.
Renjun
- both of you guys have a passion for being idols so I think you’d bond about that really well
- he would cover your groups songs on live
- like you’d sing and dance together for fun
- I think he worries a lot when your getting overworked, but would help you relax in a subtle way. Like he wouldn’t push you about it. (Idk if this makes sense but it does in my brain💀)
- when you guys are in public he’ll treat you like how he treats other female idols
-LIKE HES NOT OBVIOUS AT ALL
Jeno
- Jeno is very caring about you. (He’s so boyfriend it’s crazy, like nobody can tell me he isn’t university boyfriend coded)
- like he’d always text you after your practice and ask about it
- or send you food when your at music shows cute stuff like that
- he does your typical boyfriend things
- I think jenos neutral in the public eye, like nobody would speculate a thing, but he won't ignore you
- like if your performing on stage he’ll smirk or give the most subtle reaction but he’ll always tell you that you did amazing after
Haechan
- he’d either be very VERY competitive or YOUR BIGGEST FANGIRL
- idk I just imagine him being competitive about silly things like who makes TikToks with the most idols, just silly things
- but he’s always bragging about you when speaking about you to his members of friends
- if your overworked he’s probably overworked to so you’d rest together. (like your twinning 😭)
-I think Haechan would act like a fan boy of your group in the public eye
- like he’d talk about your songs or how much he loves your group, like he's a certified fan boy.
-people would find it funny how much of a fan he is
- there might be a few dating rumors but nothing serious
Jaemin
- he would watch you practice all the time and adore you as an idol
- I think he would have a lot of respect for you and your career
-he’d collect your albums and flex his collection to people
- I have a strong feeling that Jaemin is obvious af
- I dont know why but I legit feel it in my gut that he’s always staring at you at events or always finding a way to bring you or your group in the conversation
Chenle
- Just like Haechan he would deff brag about you to people when talking about you
- He’d watch the content you post when he can, especially if your not around
- I think Chenle is like Jeno in the public eye, like he’d give a reaction here and there but it wont be OBVIOUS
- I think he’d mention you like once on live but nothing crazy, like talking your new song or something like that
Jisung
- YOUR NUMBER 1 SUPPORTER
-he collects your albums and if he’s bored would learn some of your choreo
- Another one that keeps your photo card in his wallet or somewhere like that.
- the type to practice with you alone late at night
- I think he would do something obvious but fans wouldn’t speculate a thing cause he always seems nervous and awkward around female idols

Fan Favorite;KHJ
Please Please Listen to this song while reading this chapter the VIBES will be immaculate.
Tumblr media
Y/N was a simple girl so to say . She had dreams just like any other girl in her 20s who enjoyed fangirling over different things whether that was the latest makeup release or her favorite KPOP group having a comeback , she lived a more simple life but still dreamed about her name being big in the stars .
With a turn of events with a fan and celebrity line being crossed , Y/N finds herself in a 18 year long situation.
Chapter 7; Strangers
*6 Months Later*
Finding yourself walking the streets of Seoul with (YBSFN) on a quiet midnight afternoon almost felt rare since you’re time here in Korea . You and (YBSFN) had been planning this trip for what felt like years and to finally be here felt so unreal to you almost.
“Soooo….” (YBSFN) speaks breaking the silence between you guys .
Already knowing where this was going you sighed . You had told (YBSFN) what had happened between you Hongjoong, not that she was shocked but what had shocked her what was had followed after . You and Hongjoong had exchanged contact information and were texting each other as much as his schedule and very large time difference had allowed . (YBSFN) wouldn’t say it to your face but she felt like it wasn’t a good idea . On top of that you had two tickets to their showcase they were having in Korea for their comeback that Hongjoong had sent you .
“You still wanna go ? I’m okay going seriously
Y/N if you want I just don’t want ….”
“You don’t want me to look stupid ?” You said with a harsh tone that you didn’t mean to direct towards (YBSFN) . She huffed the air out of lungs as she took another drag of her cigarette and directed you guys towards an empty park bench .
“Y/N…..” she started as she looked at the night sky that glimmered with stars . Taking another drag out her cigarette she looked at you.
“I love you so so much as my friend and only want the best for you , you know that” she softly said as she looked at you . Avoiding eye contact you looked down at the floor .
“It’s just , you guys fucked for one night and yeah you’ve been talking but I just think you guys are on different pages” she said . There was silence as you tried to gather your thoughts . I mean she was partially right but Hongjoong didn’t seem like the type of guy to play someone . Or did you just create that scenario in your head scared to potentially face a truth behind a door that you couldn’t see through.
“Look …. We’ll go okay but Y/N I swear if he acts like he doesn’t know you after all this texting I will personally beat his ass and yours after cause I told you so” she stated. Excited that she finally fully agreed to go you can got up from the bench and gave her a hug.
“AHH I KNEW YOU WOULD COME AROUND” you excitedly squealed .
____
Today was the day of the comeback showcase and while excitement would usually take over you felt different today . Maybe (YBSFN) was right and maybe you guys should’ve done something else , but Hongjoong wouldn’t send the tickets just to send them right ? Regardless it was too late as you guys had already scheduled your taxi to pick you guys up and (YBSFN) was finishing her makeup .
You changed into the new outfit you had got for this day and truly you did feel silly dressing up like it was a date . Except 5,000 other people would be at this date , and your date would be on stage as well . You heard (YBSFN) make her way over to you as she was dressed and ready to go .
“You look beautiful Y/N” she voiced as she stared at the reflection of you guys in the mirror together.
—-
You guys had arrived to the showcase a little later than expected but right in time before they had started . You made your way to the two front seats that were empty and soon would be filled with the placement of you and (YBSFN) . It wasn’t too long after you guys had got comfortable and settled that the lights dimmed and the music blared out from the speakers . There you saw him, his bright crimson red hair almost reflecting off the lights , his shirt hung low revealing his chest that sparked memories of him above you . Maybe (YBSFN) was right and maybe coming was too much as you felt him stare you down , eyes stopping at the button of your shirt that revealed your chest over so slightly .
Taking his position in the middle of the stage you now realized why he had gave you center stage tickets , he was going to be center the whole show . He had again calculated exactly how and where he wanted you and managed to sneak any suspicion from his members or company away. Slick
The final members took their place and the lights once again went dark. Even through the darkness and cheers of fans you could feel Hongjoong staring you down never breaking contact even if you fully couldn’t see him .
Fuck, he looked like the definition of sex and god you wanted him so bad. It almost felt like your brain chemistry had changed from how dirty and nonchalant you had become in this moment . All you wanted was for Kim Hongjoong to bend you over and fuck you until your legs became numb and he knew it too .

Mitchell Sprite & Relationship chart
Made Mitty a sprite ^o^ Thx once again to @/alchemivich for such a great library of assets!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A few key relationships explained below ^v^
Vil & Mitchell: Mitchell greatly respects and admires Vil! They get along fairly well, but Mitty gets extremely intimidated by Vils beauty and success and thus admires from afar more often then not. Vil on the other hand simply knows Mitty as a hard worker and fan in Pomefiore. As long as Mitty's fangirling doesn't cause problems, Vil doesn't mind him.
Rook & Mitchell: Mitty is a bit scared of Rook and his antics. Being a beastmen and having heard about Rooks silly charades, Mitty makes sure to put some distance between the two. Rook is a bit interested in Mitty and his chatty nature.
Silver & Mitchell: Friends thanks to Lilia's introduction. Mitchell gets along with Silver and enjoys talking nonstop to him, even if he falls asleep. Silver, when he is awake during Mitty's speeches, tries to lead Mitty into a better direction. Silver acts as a sort of guiding hand, showing Mitty how to be kinder to others.
Lilia & Mitchell: Mitchell respects Lilia's passion during Pop Music Club and strives to be more like Lilias bubbly and friendly personality. Mitty sometimes visits Lilia outside of club for advice. Lilia doesn't mind Mitty's brash personality too much, knowing they have much room for growth! Lilia also acts as a guide to show Mitty more proper ways of communicating and being more aware of others feelings.
Cater & Mitchell: Their relationship is a bit complex. Mitty greatly appreciates Cater for having brought Mitty to the Pop Music Club, teaching him about Magicam, and for always listening to his rants. Mitty considers Cater to be a very close friend, one of his only best friends even. However, Cater does not think the same. Cater was excited to meet someone highly interested in magicam and social medias etc, but after teaching Mitty more, he end up resenting Mitty. Seeing and having to hear Mitty's ego rage and grow, makes him dislike the peacock boy. He blames himself partly for Mitty's egoistic behavior and wishes he could say something to change it, but he's too scared he'll make things worse. Cater will sometimes hide from Mitty or redirect him to Riddle or Lilia to avoid feeling too stressed.
Riddle & Mitchell: Mitty adores Riddle. Riddle gave Mitty his first 'compliment' and ever since, Mitty has been trying to recruit Riddle into being an idol with him. Its Mitty's way of saying I think we'd be great together! Thus Mitty will bother Riddle anytime he is visiting Heartslaybul. Riddle hates Mitty's behavior and constantly tries to reprimand Mitty, but since Mitty technically isn't from Heartslaybul and not often breaking rules, it's hard for Riddle to regulated the weirdo. He refuses to become an idol and even is offended by the idea.
Leona & Mitchell: Mitty stays as far from Leona as possible. Leona made one threat of eating Mitty like a chicken for squawking too loudly while he was sleeping. Mitty took it quite seriously.
And thats it for Mitty! ^o^ Mitty is easily intimidated and tends to be quite egoistic so it's easy for people to either A) want to bully him or B) Ignore him completely. Hopefully this pretty boy can get his act together and make friend properly >.< Thanks for reading about Mitty!

Azul, Riddle, Idia probably write some really cute love letters they will never send, and literally any other dorm leader probably has a journal on how beautiful you looked today, what you ate, what you wore, just squealing and thrashing their legs about as they wrote their daily log.
Now imagine a girls boys sleepover with all of them together just fangirling, meanwhile in ramshakle a seperate sleepover is held with Floyd, Ace, Deuce, Jack, Epel, Sebek, maybe Ortho and Rook.
They just complain about their housewardens, how annoying they are and such (except Sebek 💀) and doing sleepover things.
Epel just going feral over snacks, eating so many marshmallows, fries from mostro lounge leftovers, cream filled pastries from Trey, and sandwiches you made, Vil would never let him eat any at all, he monched on those treats like a starved man.
"Woah easy there little guy." Ace said concerned.
"SHUT YER MOUTH I AIN'T LIL!!" Epel yelled with his mouth full.
"ACE YOU THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH EATING MY EGG SANDWICH THAT PREFECT MADE FOR ME?" Deuce who just realized Ace was eating his sandwich.
"Relax Deuce I can make some more... Ace apologize to Deuce." Prefect said to stop the argument.
"It's not my fault loosey Deucy is so timid!" Ace snorted.
"YOU ASKIN' FOR A FIGHT?" Deuce's delinquent persona comes back.
"That much is to be expected from lowly humans. Us fae are the superior specie. Bla bla bla...." Sebek huffs.
"Eeeeeeh Croccy, surely you didn't forget about me, I am far diffy from humans y'know." Floyd questions.
"Guys that's enough." Jack sighs.
"Thank you Jack." Prefect finally being able to rest.
The real chaos starts after 8pm when Jack falls asleep...
Idia watching from his monitor just sighs as he looks behind him seeing those housewardens mutually fangirling, until a certain fae decided to remark about how prefect fancies him best, another wave of chaos begins.... Tonight is gonna be a long night....
Aaaa yes!! Azul's love letters are always written in standard letter format, complete with his swirling penmanship and closed with a pretty wax seal of Octavinelle's crest. He even sprays some of his cologne on the envelope or letter so that you'll be reminded of him even more when you open the letter. Now if only he could actually send these letters...
Riddle is so confident in his lexicon, yet he struggles to coherently piece together everything he wants to say, which means he's had to restart a dozen letters until he perfects the one he wants to send (which never gets sent). He's designed a few love letters that are actually crossword puzzles, though he's not sure if you'd enjoy solving them like he does and so he never sends those either.
Idia tries to write a love letter without any gamer lingo or internet slang and fails horribly, so he just resolves to write a love letter in binary because it feels cooler than normie love letters. He doesn't have the courage to send it to you, but there was one time Ortho took notice of this and forwarded it to you and Idia wanted to shrivel and die. Luckily, you didn't understand the message; you even came to him asking for a translation. He tells you it's just a bunch of nonsense; a binary keyboard smash, if you will.
The idea of the Housewardens having a sleepover, but all they gossip about you is so fun to think about. I guarantee they’re all ready to fight each other because some are bragging and boasting about how close they are with you while others are going on about how they know you best. They act like obsessed fans when they discuss how cute you were that one time you fell asleep in class or how you’re simply so sweet when you greet them in the halls.
And a sleepover with the first years and Floyd… so chaotic omg. A recipe for silliness. I can imagine Ortho just innocently confesses how much Idia likes you while the others are all like, “Oh, is that so? :) tell us more.” Poor Idia… Ortho’s exposing Idia’s love for you. Omg and Rook being there. He probably shows everyone all of the candid photos he’s taken of you on his phone and they’re all salivating over them like they’re the only meals in the world.

Dai Gyakuten Saiban / The Great Ace Attorney Takarazuka musical notes/review!
As a Sherlock Holmes, DGS and Takarazuka musical enthusiast, this post has been my CALLING. Please prepare for massive info dumping as we dive into this wonderful and amazing musical!! (I cannot stop thinking about it 😊)
Firstly, the cast, costumes and staging are wonderful! Mainly, I was just really excited to see one of my favourite found families on stage haha (most of this post is just going to be me saying how amazing it was). In particular I loved Holmes and Soseki-- but it's so hard to say something like that when I loved everyone in the cast.
Tumblr media
Chiaki Takato's performance in particular, however-- they clearly wanted Holmes to be the star and she absolutely SERVED. I LOVED getting to see Holmes be free and wild and chaotic on the stage as he was meant to!! While this is conveyed well in the games, it just comes out so much stronger on a stage. An extra layer of this that I love, is the fact that ACD Holmes and DGS Holmes both love to show off and have theatre-kid vibes, so it just feels so fitting for DGS Holmes to be in a musical. Takato also did an amazing job replicating the poses/images from the games, which is something I also appreciate that the entire cast does (such as Susato's cheering pose and Soseki's crying pose).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The the songs are super memorable, in particular I loved the Asouryuu one (sorry, I don't have the names for all of them yet), the one Holmes sings in jail, as well as the one in Act 2 that included the whole cast (with Ryuunosuke and Susato singing together). Another touch I loved, was how Asougi and Iris's songs were based off their themes from the games!
Some little touches I liked? I enjoy how Susato copies some of Holmes's poses, which she doesn't do in the games. She is supposed to be a yamato nadeshiko, or the perfect Japanese woman, so that she never really goes outside of this ideal. But she clearly has the capacity to be silly and has 'imperfections', such as her proprensity to throw people around and her fangirling over Holmes-- I love that this was taken a little further in Takarazuka's interpretation. ^_^
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Small, but I liked that Iris's mug in Act 2 had some official DGS art on it.
Tumblr media
I also enjoyed the references to the Sherlock Holmes canon! Before Holmes's second musical number, he says "Hunger makes me think faster!" (reference to how Holmes believes digestion takes blood away from his brain). Additionally, he replaces his cell with a wax dummy of himself, a reference to The Empty House (or Mazarin Stone). I believe neither of these were mentioned in the games, which means Takarazuka really did their homework on the original canon to bring in those lines. Although, I'm also not surprised, as they have already done a Sherlock Holmes musical before.
Also loved to see the random Maya character-- probably an ancestor of hers haha
Tumblr media
I wasn't a huge fan of the RyuuSusa agenda they had going on, and reminded me too much of Leona from the first Takarazuka musical (more on that later). It felt too much like they forced a romantic element because it's popular with viewers. Not to mention, Susato is 16 and Ryuunosuke is 23. Overall though, it wasn't too bad, and the AsouRyuu segments were equally gay and enjoyable to watch, haha.
Tumblr media
My favourite aspect! I adored that they included Yomigaeru Shinjitsu, the main theme of their first Ace Attorney musical in 2009! I wasn't expecting to see it, as DGS is a spin-off, but I tell you I was so excited to belt the words to that one again. Additionally I LOVED the reprisals, how they mixed in Yomigaeru Shinjitsu with the AsouRyuu song, and Ryuunosuke copying Phoenix's "FUH!" right at the end 🥰-- Gave me goosebumps. I made an edit of it, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, yeah! I think that's about it. Thanks for reading my ramblings ❤

Thoughts while re-watching the live-action "Beauty and the Beast"
Tumblr media
I am a huge fan of Beauty and the Beast, from the story by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve to Jean Cocteau's black-and-white film to Disney's animated movie and stage musical. When Disney's live-action remake came out in 2017, I was delighted by it, and failed to understand why so many people hated it. I've watched it a few times since then, but it has been a while, so I decided to give it a rewatch and take notes.
Be warned: this is pretty long!
My thoughts:
~ I love that the castle in the Disney intro is actually the Beast’s castle. On this watch, I noticed that it is topped with a statue that seems to be St. Michael slaying the devil/a monster, which is so appropriate for this story's symbolism!
~ Interesting that the first object seen is a rose being plucked. I assume that was the Enchantress’ hand? Did she pluck the flower from the prince’s own garden before entering the castle?
~ I love the way the servants are introduced in the prologue! Although they are in shadow, Cogsworth is there with his watch and Lumiere holds up a candelabra!
~ This film really leaned into the ostentation and extravagance of pre-revolution France, and it works so well in the context of this story about true inner beauty versus shallow, superficial appearance.
~ Is that Emma Thompson narrating the prologue? It sounds like her, but her accent is not the same as when she voices Mrs. Potts.
~ The actors must have had an interesting challenge acting out the curse scene, which has no audible dialogue between the Prince and the Enchantress!
~ I like that they added an explanation for why the villagers are unaware of the castle despite the relatively short distance between them.
~ I do not understand why people hate Emma Watson as Belle! She looks just right for the part, and while she is no Broadway-caliber singer, her voice is very pretty and she carries the songs quite well!
~ It almost looks like Belle is deliberately ignoring the people talking about her, marching past them as though trying not to care. But she stops to show kindness to the outcasts and the animals! She even waves to a criminal being escorted to jail!
~ I like that they gave Belle and Maurice one real friend, the local priest. I only wish he was a little more effective in his attempts to help them.
~ The entire sequence of “Belle” is just fantastic! It’s not easy to shoot such a complex scene with so many moving parts.
~ The trio of Gaston fangirls remind me of the silly younger sisters in Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.
~ Although they made him an artist instead of an inventor, Maurice is still absentminded and a bit obsessive. It is easy to see how Belle would feel lonely despite his loving presence, since he is completely absorbed in his work.
~ Hearing that her mother was “fearless” might have inspired Belle’s own fearlessness later, first to save her father and then to save the Beast.
~ Why is Belle’s reader in English and not French? And why does she have a children’s book with her when she goes to do laundry? Did she hope to find someone to teach? Was she actually studying the English language?
~ Gaston crosses so many lines, literally and figuratively, when entreating Belle. And he does not even help her or defend her against the villagers’ abuse, he just tries to pressure her at a moment when she is upset and vulnerable.
~ It’s interesting that Gaston plays the “I can change” card, and Belle insists that “no one can change that much.” She will be proven wrong, but not by him!
~ The tree being struck by lightning and blocking Maurice’s path really makes his going to the castle seem like a result of magic or divine intervention!
~ Maurice seems remarkably calm throughout the wolf chase and when stumbling upon the castle!
~ The lamps held by sconces shaped like arms are a nice nod to Jean Cocteau’s 1946 film La Belle et La Bête!
~ I’m surprised that Maurice would feel bold enough to take a rose after being so spooked by Chip! It would make more sense if he either saw the animated objects and accepted their extraordinariness, or did not see anyone at all and assumed the inhabitants would remain hidden.
~ Maurice must have been coughing very loudly for Belle to hear him all the way in the foyer!
~ Belle holding the light up to see the Beast gives off Psyche and Cupid/Eros vibes!
~ “Forever can spare a minute” is an interesting choice of words considering the name of the song “How Does a Moment Last Forever.”
~ The Beast is so selfish and had such an unhealthy relationship with his own father that he cannot wrap his mind around Belle sacrificing herself for her father.
~ I like Ewan McGregor in general, but his French accent is ridiculous. I get that it’s in keeping with the original film, where Lumiere was the only character with a French accent, but aside from the English characters Mrs. Potts and Cogsworth, they’re all supposed to be French, so it doesn’t really make sense.
~ I don’t like that Lumiere is the one to give Belle a room, behind the Beast’s back. Giving her a room is supposed to be the Beast’s first gesture of decency and kindness toward Belle.
~ Lumiere is much shrewder and actually comes off smarter than Cogsworth, who is so by-the-book that he reveals the one place Belle ought not to go!
~ Belle’s expression when Madame la Garderobe dresses her up says, “I did not sign up for this!”
~ Belle’s simple beauty and country/provincial style contrasts strongly with her bedroom and the lavish style Madame tries to impose on her. That seems to be a kind of arc over the course of the film, with a sort of meeting in the middle by the end.
~ A big difference between the two films’ versions of “Gaston” is that here, LeFou pays the people in the tavern to play music and sing along, instead of everyone joining in freely! I like that, because it suggests that Gaston may not be as well-liked admired as he thinks.
~ When LeFou sings that he does not know how to spell Gaston’s name, it’s written right on the wall behind him!
~ Chip rolling around on his saucer in excitement reminds me of Aang on his air scooter! (Which is funny because I actually gave Aang the role of Chip in the Avatar/Beauty and the Beast crossover I wrote years before this movie came out.)
~ Why does Belle sit and hug her knees self-pityingly, in between moments when she is busy devising her escape? It’s pretty convenient timing for the Beast to see her that way in the mirror.
~ I'm sure it's been pointed out and laughed about before, but I find it quite funny that Emma Watson and Emma Thompson, who played Hermione and Prof. Trelawney in the Harry Potter films and had a whole scene involving tea leaves, got to act together in this film and dealt with teapots and teacups again!
~ Mrs. Potts’ advice about whether to listen to people when they are angry … makes sense when it comes to insults or harshness, but not when it comes to rules and boundaries.
~ Maestro Cadenza is so sassy! “Are there any other tasteless demands you wish to make upon my artistry?” I may need to use that next time I get a negative review for my work!
~ “This is France” followed by the knife falling like a guillotine made me laugh!
~ Lumiere seems clumsier, less confident, and more oblivious in this version of “Be Our Guest.”
~ Poor Belle can’t get a full bite of food while the staff objects are showing off! I choose to believe that after that performance, Mrs. Potts made sure she got to relax and eat a proper, comforting meal.
~ Belle breaking the rule about the West Wing feels more in-character in this version. Here, she is more headstrong, and she intends to break her word and leave. So it’s not just curiosity or fascination with the castle that drives her to investigate. She may be hoping to find out the Beast’s weakness and find a way to escape.
~ Belle is not very sneaky when going to the West Wing; her footsteps are very loud!
~ The Beast ruined the image of himself and his father, but he left his mother’s image intact!
~ If Philippe was still at the castle, how did Maurice get back to the village? Did he walk the whole way? There was no weird palanquin like in the animated movie.
~ The sequence of Belle, the Beast, and the wolves is kind of rushed. Even though it hits the same beats at the original scene, there is not a lot of room for the emotional reversals of the Beast going out to save Belle and her decision to save him in return, even though it costs her the chance of escape.
~ I’m glad that in this version, Maurice opposes Gaston as a suitor for Belle. He knows that the guy is bad news!
~ They gave the line “If you like it so much, then it’s yours,” originally part of the lyrics for “Belle,” to the Beast in the library scene!
~ Belle helps the Beast to see his home and possessions with new eyes, both because she is a newcomer seeing it for the first time, and because she reads with him. I like that a poem (“A Crystal Forest” by William Sharp) helps him look at the castle’s environment in a new way.
~ Belle literally lets sun into the castle when she cleans the windows!
~ The “something there” could have been friendship, but the fact that Mrs. Potts won’t tell Chip what it is makes me think it’s really sexual chemistry/attraction!
~ Has the Beast considered why laughter dies when he enters a room? Did that happen before the curse, or only after he became a beast? Is it because the staff are afraid of his temper, or of his monstrous appearance?
~ The magical book feels like a nod to the magical rooms Belle visits in the original story of “Beauty and the Beast”
~ Personally, I like that this version provides some backstory about Belle and the Beast’s parents. Belle’s journey thus entails not only new relationships but also healing and closure regarding past relationships. Losing their mothers at a young age becomes a point of commonality between Belle and the Beast. Learning of Belle’s mother’s sacrifice, urging Maurice to take their baby away for her safety, may have inspired the Beast’s willingness to let her go later.
~ I know it’s in keeping with the original film, but making Belle’s dress yellow creates a good contrast against the blue and white tones of her usual outfits and the wintry setting of the castle grounds.
~ The Beast’s smile when he sees Belle dressed for their dance is so soft and sweet!
~ The dance sequence is beautiful!!! They don’t look quite as happy and content as they do in the original, but somehow it feels appropriate to where they are at this point in their relationship. The choreography involves trust and teamwork, so it shows how much they have grown from where they began. Belle was not even willing to be in the same room as him, and now she is getting really close and letting him lift and twirl her!
~ I like that the Beast explicitly, if indirectly, broaches the subject of whether Belle could care about him, and that she affirms that she could. It’s more personal than just asking if she is happy there, which is a pretty odd question to ask someone who is technically a prisoner.
~ Unlike in the original, where the Beast is pained and takes a long moment to decide to let Belle go, in this version he says it immediately, almost without thinking.
~ Why doesn’t the coat holder (I think they call him M. Chapeau?) give Belle her cloak, at the very least, as she leaves?
~ “Evermore” is such a beautiful, powerful song! I realized that throughout it, the Beast keeps climbing higher in the castle so he can watch Belle as long as possible. My only criticism of the sequence is that the Beast’s CGI face does not emote very much. Some of the lyrics are pretty angsty, but his expression is almost stoic. Maybe he is supposed to be at peace with losing Belle?
~ How long did everyone stay in the tavern while the asylum carriage was summoned? Why do the villagers have torches at that point? And why do they all follow Gaston’s lead?
~ The magic mirror’s actual glass is quite small and clouded! The images aren’t clear at all.
~ The standoff with Gaston is a bit awkward in its direction, but the actual “Mob Song” sequence is excellent! And this was the first time I wondered: is it meant to be an allusion to the mob mentality of the French Revolution?
~ Cogworth’s “man the barricades” has got to be a Les Misérables reference, and “third-rate musketeers” must be a Three Musketeers reference!
~ Do the household objects sing part of the “Mob Song”? Did they do that in the original movie too?
~ How did Belle carry the magic mirror and her mother’s rose thingy while riding her horse? She doesn’t seem to have any kind of bag on her. Does her ballgown have pockets?
~ Maurice and Belle’s scene in the wagon is so sweet. He seems to be convinced a little too quickly about the Beast becoming kind, but it underscores how much he trusts and supports her.
~ It’s not exactly original, but Belle turning a fashion accessory into a tool is so in-character!
~ LeFou mockingly talking to Chip and Mrs. Potts reminds me of Olaf, another Josh Gad character, pretending to address the rock trolls in Frozen!
~ I swear, Maestro Cadenza’s music as he pins LeFou down sounds like “The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme)”!
~ Great symbolism of books being used as weapons against the literacy-hating townsfolk!
~ If Madame de Garderobe and Maestro Cadenza were able to come out of their respective rooms to participate in the battle, why weren’t they able to see each other sooner?
~ Where did Belle get that jacket? Was it Maurice’s?
~ Although it was shown earlier in the movie, I think the castle crumbling should have been revisited the night of the dance. It seems too random when it happens during the climactic fight.
~ I like that Belle participates in the fight, taking away Gaston’s weapons and trying to protect the Beast.
~ The “death” of all the household items … it’s like the writers asked, “How can we make the Beast’s death even more devastating than it already is?”
~ I like how the rose petals become part of the Beast’s transformation. But the transformation itself seems a bit rushed. In the animated movie and stage musical, it’s a pretty long sequence with a lot of awe and emotion. But I guess there’s only so much you can do with the live-action medium.
~ Mrs. Potts’ first name is Beatrice?!
~ As a human, Chip has a tooth missing, like his chipped rim!
~ It looks like Madame de Garderobe and Maestro Cadenza ditched their wigs and decided to wear their natural hair after the curse broke!
~ I had not realized that Gugu Mbatha-Raw was in this movie until now, after seeing her in Loki!
~ There are many beautiful shots of the sky throughout the film!
~ The score is so beautiful! I love that it weaves in melodies of songs from the original movie, the stage musical, and the new movie.
My conclusion: it’s not perfect, but it is a beautiful movie and a wonderful retelling of a classic story that long predates Disney’s interpretation!

sooooo, yesterday i watched hotd s1 finale. here are my (semi-coherent) thoughts:
i've had one (1) day to simmer down my instinctive "wtf??" reaction and ponder on some writing choices - actually, two notable writing choices. first, this is no got s8 levels of disaster, but i'd already noticed a couple of red flags in ep9 and so i was - i am - guarded, though my emotional investment is nowhere near as high as my peak asoiaf/got era. i'm way more detached, and if i came off as pissed in some prev posts it was more of a general 🤷🤷 feeling concerning old disappointments in correlated or different media. (having said that, the larys/alicent feet thing is atrocious.)
i see they're still going strong with the childbirth from hell saga - i've already written about it in an older post, and i quite liked it, however gory and heartbreaking it was.
i don't buy the daemyra choking (not in a kinky way) scene. there's nowhere near enough build up for that. yes, daemon killed his first wife (which btw wasn't in the book) but they hated each other and she wasn't a targ. from d. pov's that's quite an important detail. (not that i’m excusing it, you know.) i don't even buy that "he's grieving that's why he acts (more) irrationally and with 0 impulse control (than usual)" because while he's ready for war and legitimately angry at the thought of his brother being murdered (tho viserys had been rotting away for years, last time they saw each other he could barely stand/talk, it was only a matter of weeks, maybe a couple of months at best before he died, they should have been prepared for this & the greens response) he doesn't act that out of control. let's be honest here: daemyra was always problematic and people shouting ~grooming! weren't completely wrong, but the writers also sold it as High Romance. the Stupid Fangirls weren't that blinded by their silly girly brains: d&r were framed as being genuinely in love despite the painfully obvious problematic elements. (& the incest is the least problematic thing here, since this is westeros and they're targs.) i think one of the directors even compared their love to what she feels for her own husband. so no, we weren't dreaming it up, they just couldn't find a balance between Toxic Incest Couple & Soulmates Being Soulmates, and obv they had to put a ~Bad Man is Very Bad, Girlies, Don't Try At Home~ bs Morality Play that seems so damn popular in this day and age. mind you, we all knew shit was going to hit the fan with nettles' appearance (i'm still worried about her portrayal, she's just a young girl and daemon is so much older than her, and i have no idea how they’re going to develop/frame their relationship) but somehow i had not foreseen him being physically abusive to his wife (who just gave birth to their stillborn daughter and lost her father btw). i was expecting him to lash out but... not like this. after their (fabulous ngl) wedding i haven't been much invested in daemyra anyway (i thought their decades long budding romance was much more appealing) but despite what i said above, one thing d/r fans were wrong about was expecting that hbo could actually make a medieval fantasy wuthering heights 2.0 and deliver lmao. no mainstream media would do that, not in the current ~think of the girls!!! climate. this is like believing that the star wars sequels were a gothic female-gazey romance that featured rey's sexual awakening + happy ending with the local parricidal ex darksider - the romance was there, don't get me wrong, but no hollywood-made pop culture piece of media could ever deliver. we also know d/r history from f&b, it's not all sunshine and rainbows... tho it's not comparable to jaime&cersei either. this is no valonqar situation - if and when that happens in asoiaf, motives and characters can't be compared only because d. and jaime share a love for poor impulse control and incest; the framing for their ~love affair and the choking act is also radically different. this feels like a punishment for the girls who tend to romanticize daemon and his feelings for his niece, as a "sharp reminder" of who he is and what is capable of (and that women, even dragon queens who are more than mere consorts and childbearers, can be victimized and have shitty husbands ig). except that however awful and poor little meow meow he may be, he didn't do any of this marital abuse bs in the book as far as we know. which brings me to:
i have a small problem with the people who say "f&b is no real account of the dance, these characters can't be written as ooc because we basically don't know them! it's all headcanons and bias!". theoretically i agree: there are at least 3 different versions of any major event, and what intrigued me the most about this show was the premise of Unreliable Narrator Extraordinaire. which path would these writers follow? because logically one should also say: "is this what really happened in the dance?" like, aren't these people (hired by hbo, paid a shitton of money, apparently asoiaf fans themselves) also writing down their own interpretations? unless grrm himself is behind everything (foot fetish and wife-choking included) who are these people to say this is what actually happened? they didn't create the characters and the plot etc., we're seeing them through their eyes and bias as well. why are the Poor Naive Girls who romanticized the Bad Dark Prince (aka they knew he was a big asshole but didn't think he had it in him to actually assault the woman he loves) the ones to be so awfully biased and affected by media illiteracy, to the point i’ve already seen the usual crowd online gloating over it like “ha ha the bitches had it coming”? one could say this is just another version of the dance... which would actually be more compelling imo. this also brings me to:
grandma vhagar being nostalgic of her war crimes era and gnam gnam lucerys to the oblivion. i have... very mixed feelings about this. i agree that making aemond more than an evil cackling anime villain is a good choice but idk about this tbh. idk how they could have spin it differently either tho, so i give up. people say "at least he doesn't actively seek war out so he doesn't look like an idiot" except he looks like an even bigger idiot because no one in their right mind would chase down their four-and-ten nephew and his dragon (said to be “five times smaller” than vhagar) through the sky while they're riding a huge ass fucking beast that could dwarf a mountain and actually fought in the conquest just to pick out his eye, and not expect it to horribly escalate. like, if you make two dragons face each other (especially if one of them is as powerful and ancient as vhagar is) what do you think is going to happen? realistically, i mean? maybe aemond didn't want to go that far but omg he should have foreseen this from a mile. like, sweetie maybe you didn't study your history and lore so well. and for the "he's just a teenager he doesn't know what he's doing" crowd: in a short span of time this ~poor baby~ is going to burn down the riverlands, hundreds of people will die. the incident that sparks the dance being an actual accident, tho... lmao sorry but that sounds like a joke. like, no matter how you spin it, if you like or love or hate it, it still robs the character of his agency, and therefore the story of poignancy. and i'm not even 100% sold on ~the dragons randomly eating people alive even when their riders strictly forbid them too~ because yeah, i can see that, a dragon is no slave and of course they're not mindless beasts but actually quite intelligent etc. but on the other hand i for one can't wait for drogon to fire up kl of his own free will - maybe he'll just hate that fugly city, who knows - so that ~dany (aka an actual 16 year old victim of rape and abuse who liberated thousands of slaves in a continent she was exiled to as an infant) is going to burn children alive and be put down like a mad bitch because that's somehow comparable to lotr shire chapter!!1~ disk horse can finally die its miserable death.
so, yeah, mixed feelings about these two (2) plot points, particularly the ~daemon is physically abusive now~ thing. also dk about whitewashing the blacks anymore, rhaenys killed a fuck ton of civilians in ep9 for no conceivable reason (something that in the books and in peaceful times only the worst of the worst are willing to do, no matter how much these elite assholes don’t care about the smallfolk) and now daemon is even more evil than he was in the book. aegon ii may be... well, aegon ii, but with aemond being somehow more humane and whatever they're doing to alicent the blacks are the ones that actually wreak more havoc - and i’m not even touching the blood and cheese thing. at least aemond's fuck-up kinslaying was accidental lol. jokes aside i overall liked this ep more than i did ep9 and while it’s not bad bad... no mistake, this is no high television either. i’ve seen what great tv can do (it’s exceptionally rare tho, more than people think) and this doesn’t look like it except for some acting choices + scenes.

Not Gaara related but I remember you making a Sakura anti-hate post on your old blog and I was all for it
Honestly Anon, I am pretty impartial to all the main characters in Naruto, leaning more towards feeling favourable toward them (except for Sasuke who has earned my contempt again and again), but I will be damned if I won't bust into the Sakura fandom, guns-a-blazin', and go to war to defend their favourite character.
Really, I just have no time to post character hate of any kind, as I'm much more inclined to talk about the characters I do like (thus my various blogs dedicated to Gaara) because it just feels better to me as a fan??? Plus it's much more fun to conjure up some silly speculation about your faves.
For example, did you know Gaara's favourite food is actually a pun in Japanese? What is the likelihood that Gaara tried to make a joke when asked what his favourite food was, but because he's so deadpan, the other person just didn't realize?
Makes you wonder right?
I joke, but it is much more fun to talk about stuff like that than to constantly beat down an unliked character.
Plus I just believe that if I were to criticize a character, it would be none other than Gaara himself, as at least it would be a fair analysis. And believe me, anon, I would absolutely dunk on Gaara so mercilessly and so thoroughly that it would be akin to Yashamaru's betrayal. Like I am all for reppin' Gaara till the day I die, but I'm here to love him for BOTH his flaws and his virtues.
Now specifically with the Sakura hate...I think what disgusts me the absolute most about it is that I feel it's so firmly rooted in misogany.
I think this way because people do not extend the same courtesy to her as they do with literally every single other character. They complain that all she does is pine after Sasuke...but Obito literally started a war over a girl who wasn't his girlfriend and didn't want to be. Also Naruto spent the entire series chasing Sasuke, and we can't forget about Gaara dedication for Naruto! Or even Hinata for Naruto, or Ino and Sasuke/Sai.
I just never understood why people took Sakura's love for Sasuke as this horrendous thing, as if acting on the behalf of your love for someone is not a noble goal, but something that should be admonished.
Hinata, you could argue, is the exact same as Sakura except she was quieter and much more subserviently to Naruto, never rippling the water. You never saw Hinata growing out of her love for Naruto, which is the same criticism people use for Sakura as to why she never evolved passed her "crush." The only difference is that Hinata rooted for the underdog (Naruto). Two, she had natural powers that already made her OP in comparison to the other genin, while Sakura had to rely on her natural intelligence and hard work once she matured and found her path in life. Third, after the time skip, Hinata became more pleasing to look at according to the male gaze.
(BTW I don't mean to dogpile Hinata. I am waving my truce flag here. It's just a comparison between her and Sakura, not a criticism.)
Back to Sakura: Her fangirling was annoying in the beginning. I never identified with her because...Sasuke -shudder-, but y'know why i looked passed it?
Cause she was a 12 year old girl in the beginning of the series.
I was once a 12 year old girl. And I can confirm, I was pretty much like that (it may have been for Kyo from Fruits Basket but the point stands).
Plus, as a 12 year old girl, she was more mature than Sasuke and Naruto in the beginning because she was wise and had risk assessment. Most of the fights where people claimed she was useless, she was actually just respectfully listening to what her sensei told her to do, as in...Not get in the way and be a liability (Land of Waves). Or she was one-shot because...um...Well, she jumped in front of Gaara who was half transformed into Shukaku. Oh, and prior to that, she cut her hair during a fight! Would you be able to cut your hair on a whim? Just like that? Just let a piece of what you loved most about yourself go because you needed to in order to win? Could you??? I definitely couldn't.
This leads into another thing that people still complain about, and that's that she's useless, which just goes to show that women and female characters have to work so much harder to earn the same respect as their male peers. The characters somehow will only ever default to the way they were first introduced, and in Sakura's case, they feel she is useless, weak and boy-crazy over Sasuke, even though she did the most growth out of her whole squad.
It's not Sakura's fault that she wasn't born with the strongest tailed beast or magic eyes that could rip apart worlds and also be one of the children of prophecy. It's not her fault that she had to learn a variety of skills to get on the same level as the men in her life, and that she had to do much more than only learned two Jutsus to carry her through the whole series (looking at you, Naruto).
People only seem to accept the women from the start in Naruto if they showed up looking hot, overpowered or naturally talented right out the gate. It's like there's almost no room for women to develop and grow in the series, which is so sad.
Now, maybe the Sakura hate is actually just a loud minority. Afterall, she did get A LOT of votes on the character poll, so maybe the misogyny isn't as rampant as I fear. Plus, I have noticed there's a significant decrease in the amount of hate I see for Sakura, so maybe the community has grown up and their opinions have changed as they matured, which is good.
I just don't see what else the hatred for Sakura could possibly be...unless we talk about her Anime personality. The Anime Sakura is actually way worse than her canon self, which could make a person who never read the source material think she is a bad character.
Also, if you just don't like her cause she doesn't float your boat, I think that's fine. I hate Sasuke nearly with a passion...I can't pin point why, he just isn't my thing and I wouldn't even be able to elaborate on it (though I do like him better as an adult).
I just personally feel that at this point in the fandom we are passed the low hanging fruit of Sakura hate such as "she's weak" "she's useless" "she is too interested in Sasuke".
Actually, I feel that I personally have reached a point in this fandom where I don't want any low hanging fruits of character hate. I guess I just don't have time to hate on characters at all, unless we are talking about flaws for analysis.
I come and engaged with this series to have fun and escape the hardship of life for awhile. Smashing characters in a series I love is just not worth it to me.
So yeah, I will absolutely support Sakura fans.
And um...I would absolutely support Sasuke fans, too (begrudgingly). Just like I would fans of anyone else's fave.

(pupils dilate) i see you like gt and have 5 stuff esp with ren in your icon/header, im begging do you have any thoughts with p5 gt, im starving out here, there's like NOTHING for it
You have blessed me with this incredible question i actually love you anon be my friend right now
I do have thoughts thanks (most of these are Joker/Akechi related)
• Goro having giant Joker at his beck and call and every time someone’s being rude to him, the press are asking him annoying questions, or fangirls are bothering him, his giant boyfriend comes and is like “are they bothering u king” and scoops him up. He pretends to hate it and acts like he’s just so upset to be taken away from his adoring fans but he is so incredibly relieved.
• I think Joker is THE sizeshifter ever. He’s canonically pretty intimidating as is, but when he’s standing tens of feet over you and giving you the stare down through his glasses? I could die
• Borrower Joker that collects (STEALS) shiny things like coins and rings from whoever’s house he lives in. Because its “treasure” and he’s never been one to live by the borrower rule of “only take what you need”. But obviously this gets him caught and hijinks ensue.
• I think Joker would be SUCH a protective giant, too. Almost overwhelmingly so. Like, if Futaba (his LITTLE little sister, cue the laugh track) was being frightened by something, he would definitely grab her and hold her close to his chest until the danger was gone, and constantly be watching his little friends to make sure they dont get hurt ^-^
• The shrinking ailment idea is underrated and underused. Like imagine Goro getting shrunk while working with the phantom thieves and Joker picking him up by the back of his little prince outfit. He’s kicking and making all kinds of threats but Joker cant help but ‘aww’ out loud because the guy trying to kill him is just so cute and tiny now!
• I also dont think, if Joker was grown by something, that he would be a very gentle guy at first. Considering he was walked all over his entire life, I can imagine he’d be really tease-y with people that are smaller than him for a little while. I like to think he would step on cars of CEOs and rich folks for a laugh because he’s silly like that. Would definitely go destroy one of Shido’s vacation homes for fun. Because he does clearly in-game feel good when he’s in a position of power. I think he deserves a little power trip as a treat.
• Sizeshifter Joker getting hit with a rage ailment in the metaverse. Can you tell I like a little fearplay LMFAO
• SATANAEL JOKER is so incredibly stuck in my brain. Like… you’ve heard of Joker in Arsene’s outfit! Now get ready for colossal Satanael Joker with big big horns and big scary wings.
This isnt it. Im just trying not to be super annoying. And ive never shared my thoughts before so its a little scary!
