SANDERS SIDES SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

Hey yeah I'm overanalyzing their rooms now that we cANONICALLY KNOW WHAT EACH OF THEIR ROOMS LOOKS LIKE????? (if i miss anything while combing through these picture lmk!)

First up, Patton's room!

Lots of plushies! Lovely touch, not that surprised cuz it's, you know, Patton.

Cat statue! (lamp? I can't tell jdjsjsj)

And a cat poster right above his head!

I can't tell what picture that is on his desk :(

But I can tell that his glasses are on there, as well as a plate of two cookies (love that callback) and... A bible. Specifically the Bible Patton swore his oath on in SvS. Interesting touch...

And lastly, the card Virgil gave him during 12DOC (which I find interesting because, to me at least, this symbolizes that Patton still views Virgil as or believes Virgil to still be his best friend which is, uh... Not quite the case right now).

Also notably, Patton doesn't wear his onesie to sleep here?

Alright, next up is Roman!

Right off the bat, THAT IS A FACE MASK PEOPLE, ROMAN CANONICALLY HAS A SKINCARE ROUTINE ‼️

Next, his katana right next to his bed which I imagine he uses fairly often because if you'll look in the bottom left hand corner, you can see Remus stealing one of Roman's crocheted (knitted?) stars off of his desk

After that is his poster, which says Adventure Is Out There (maybe an Up poster? I can't find the exact one but knowing Roman it's probably that)

And speaking of Disney, I just noticed that he's sleeping in his Beauty and the Beast onesie oh my gosh

I love the amount of Roman toys he has in his room idjshshs

I can't tell what that bottle is right behind the Roman Youtooz, if anyone can, can you let me know?

[EDIT FOR ABOVE: People have told me that the bottle is pillow spray which, yeah, makes sense for Roman jdjdjsjs]

And finally, the bulletin board! Two pictures of himself, one of Leslie Odom Jr., and 3 Post-Its that read (from top to bottom): "TAKE DANCE CLASSES AGAIN", "YOU GOT THIS PAL", and "WWLOJD?" (which I realized far too late means "What Would Leslie Odom Jr. Do?" idjdjsjs)

Alright, Virgil's room now!!

It is. So dark. I had to turn my phone's brightness up to max to even be able to see half of it ksjsjsjsj

First off, Virgil wears a Green Day shirt and Thomas's black jacket to sleep! (If you don't remember, this is the same jacket Thomas wore during parts 1 and 2 of Accepting Anxiety and in Working Through Intrusive Thoughts!)

If you'll look right behind Virgil, there's a laptop open to... A YouTube lyric video. Dude listens to emo music without headphones to go to sleep, oh my God /pos

[EDIT ABOVE: According to Thomas, he's watching a Jack the Ripper conspiracy video, not a lyric video! Still, incredibly fitting for Virgil kdjdjsjs]

Now to the darker parts of the room:

He has a whiteboard that says "[Number (it's actually a pound sign but i don't want this to end up as a hashtag jdjsjsj)] of days since last total disaster", with 5 being the number of days. Does this mean that this video takes place five days after WTIT, or is it just an insignificant number?

I literally can't tell what all is on Virgil's desk so if anyone does please let me know, but what I can tell is that he's got an expo marker (for the whiteboard) and (presumably) melatonin, which (alongside the tossing and turning) I imagine confirms that Virgil has trouble sleeping

[EDIT FOR ABOVE: He also has a spider plush, a book of Grimm's Fairytale, fake candles(?) and Patton's card pinned underneath it! That's fascinating to me and I've taken it to mean that Virgil doesn't want to complete throw away his friendship with Patton but he's nowhere near "buddy buddy" with him anymore]

And finally, Logan!

Look at his blue ass bed and matching pjs and sleep mask I freaking love him

He's got a periodic table poster over his bed!!!

Now let's check out his desk

He has all five plushies with him!!! Everyone else just had theirs but he has all five! (Angst writers come get your food pspspsps)

They're all sitting on a notebook (presumably the one Logan uses to write down when someone says something stupid?) which is on top of the fanfic Roman gave him for Christmas which i freaking love 😭

His solved Rubix cube is sitting on what looks to be a crossword of the day calendar sort of thing?

EMPTY CROFTERS JAR BEHIND EVERYTHING HE CANONICALLY EATS IT IN HIS ROOM

Oh my God that is the 10th Doctor Funko Pop right by the plushies

And his flashcards are under his glasses!

[EDIT FOR ABOVE: The notebook above the script is a Journal 3 notebook from Gravity Falls and he also has a TARDIS behind the plushies and a smart lamp! (Hence the clapping)]

Again, if i missed something someone let me know jdjdhs

uhhh poorly written thoughts on bugboy duo and brotherhood

@parkeryangs sorry in advance. and also sorry if I got any bits of cricket's lore wrong / mischaracterized him I tried my best I prommy

Cricket Sherwood considers Cicada Alexander Walters a brother.

He misses his sister, his Katydid, of course he does. There have been several times where he sits alone, on his bed, her contact open. It would be so easy to call her.

He never does.

It's better that way.

Their job is dangerous, and cruel, and violent. Sitting by and doing nothing as these people are completely destroyed. And then he is assigned to work with someone, specifically.

Ty answers all of their questions almost excitedly. He's very passionate about the new "Mikelijah Consolidation Project". He tells them that the consolidation is half Mike Walters- surely Cricket knows about the Mike Walters -and a tier three worker at OVER. All Cricket has to do is make sure that the memory tests and surgeries run smoothly. Simple.

Except it isn't. "Mikelijah" is hostile from the moment Cricket walks through the door, but he can see it in their eyes that they're just scared. Introductions and pronouns are exchanged. Cricket learns that this test subject doesn't have a name.

"You know, I named myself Cricket because I've always been really into bugs. Since childhood. Me and my sister, we would go out and try to find as many bugs as possible for us to study. Her name's Katydid. I'm pretty sure that's because of me, at least somewhat."

What Cricket doesn't mention is that their sister is in constant danger, and is wrapped up in all of this, technically, also because of them.

The test subject regards him.

"I used to be casually into entomology. It was just a passing thing, really, but Eli was into it for a bit. I should pick it back up."

And Cricket, ever the fool, says that they have some bugs in their room, if 'Mikelijah' would like to see. She says she would.

"I think I'd like to be named Cicada," they proclaim one day, as they lay on the floor of Cicada's cell next to each other. "It just feels right."

Bugs encased in resin turns into entomology textbooks turns into facts excitedly being shared between the two. The consolidation is lonely. He likes talking to Cricket.

"You're kind of a freak," they tell him. "I like that. We should be friends."

Eventually, excited facts turns into sharing details about one another's lives turns into a genuine bond. Cricket looks forward to looking after them, to be able to talk and be with them.

"It suits you."

"But I still wanna keep Mikey's last name. And maybe I'll keep Elijah's middle name too? Cicada Alexander Walters. Cuz then my initials would be CAW, like the sound a crow makes."

Cricket can't help but smile. Cicada Alexander Walters. His friend.

It's testing day. Ty always makes them stand there and watch. They know their friend's insides better than anyone, he says. They'd know if anything goes wrong.

Cricket isn't squeamish by any means, but seeing Cicada howling over the operating table, viscera exposed, makes his blood boil. He wants to protect them. He want to grab Ty and takes Ty's own tools and-

It doesn't matter in the end. It never does. Cicada never remembers it and Cricket isn't supposed to talk about it. It's not like they ever want to, anyway.

(The fact that Cicada never remembers doesn't do anything to stop the guilt. They can't shake the feeling that they're supposed to protect him, and every single time they're hurt is another one of his failures.)

Most of their time spent together is spent just hanging out. Sometimes Cricket finds music he thinks they'd like or Cicada convinces him to let them watch shitty horror movies on his even shittier computer. But today, Cricket has beads and string, and is determined to make something out of it.

The two friends slip the friendship bracelets over one another's wrists once they're done, and it feels so much bigger than it is. The bracelets themselves are shoddily made, but they can't help but feel tied together, somehow.

Bugboy 1 and bugboy 2, the bracelets proclaim.

Afterwards, Cicada leans into him, snuggling into his chest. Cricket clutches onto his friend like he's going to disappear if he doesn't.

"I love you, Crick."

"Love you too. I'll always protect you, okay?"

(Katy nods and smiles up at her brother. "Thanks. And I'll always do the same for you.")

Cicada nods and smiles up at his brother. "Thanks. And I'll always do the same for you."

Eventually, Cricket's phone buzzes. It's from Ty. He tells Cicada that he has to go and he'll see them as soon as humanly possible. Cicada says they understand. They love him. He loves them too.

And then a day passes, and another, and Cicada is gone. Nobody seems to have known where they went, and they heard no alarm bells. They want to believe that Cicada made it out. They want to believe she disabled the alarms somehow and made a home for themself away from all of this.

Still, he can't help but worry. Maybe he'd doomed another sibling. Maybe he'd failed to protect them. Maybe they were dead.

He doesn't even want to think about what would happen if they died.

Cricket more often than not finds himself sitting on the floor of the cell Cicada used to occupy, staring at the ground. They know it's selfish but in those moments they want nothing more than to hold her again. They want to know where she went.

Little brother, they ask, why did you leave me here?

There is nobody to respond.

dear anon who sent that vigil!mc + scaramouche meeting idea,

I AM SO GLAD I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT ABOUT MC AND SCARA MEETING OML (┛✧Д✧))┛彡┻━┻

i could low-key think of a song playlist for that entire idea alone like (yes, it'd be angsty af) (would probably just be filled with songs we've all cried over at this point)

olivia rodrigo's traitor

~god i wish you had thought this through before i went and fell in love with you

ricky montgomery's snow

~summer's over, love had left her screaming at the screen

~take my mind, take my body, take my father's conscience from me

taylor swift's all too well

~autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place and I can picture it after all these days

~and I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more and I might be okay but I'm not fine at all

~and I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do and I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to

~so casually cruel in the name of being honest, I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here 'cause I remember it all, all, all too well

~and did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? just between us, did the love affair maim you, too?

taylor swift's enchanted

~the playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks, like passing notes in secrecy

~I'll spend forever wondering if you knew, I was enchanted to meet you

Hamilton's first burn (lmao don't ask—)

~I don't know who you are, I have so much to learn, I'm re-reading your letters, and watching them burn

~heaven forbid someone whisper "he's part of some scheme"

KP's the one that got away

~Its time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse

TS's the story of us

~I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate when it all broke down and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

gonna stop before this ask gets too long but i have more if you want just say the word, dearie

but anyways

what if the only reason he keeps sending letters is because it's one of the only things that's close to giving him that— even just an ounce of humanity he's looking for

what if after the whole fiasco she couldn't keep it in anymore and tells kazuha—and/or the rest of the gang

how does one even react to that?

traveler and paimon just in shock cuz this lovely lady knew the freaking balladeer?! (‘◉⌓◉’)

or in the case she tells no one and takes it to her grave

she's still somewhat in denial when she finds out

what if after travler splashes albedo's work with the water, it hasn't full dried yet in the early morning and mc just happened to be taking a walk in the plaza, she sees the painting and—

oh archons, she's horrified

kazuha follows after her shortly, and is so worried when his dear onee-san just pales out of nowhere Ó╭╮Ò

imagine mc finds out he's the 6th harbinger through traveler

Oh my these are lovely lyrics...

Hm, letters with regards to sheltering the only shred of humanity he seeks... sounds very pre-Fatui!Scaramouche. What is it that a puppet desires more than a heart? :')

If MC spills the truth it would undoubtedly shake everyone with surprise. Though I can see her taking it to her grave.

Such an abominable meeting... no, no, Kazuha can't possibly know

T-T

I am begging you to elaborate on Hunter and his opinions on One Piece. Does he read/watch it all in one go? Does he have crazy theories about it? Did it make him cry? Enquiring minds want to know. Also his reaction to Gus' movie.

I know nothing about one piece. It was just the first manga that came to mind on that day cuz somebody had mentioned it to me earlier. So I can't go into specifics BUT

I dont think Hunter does fucking anything casually. He is gonna feel incomplete if its left unfinished so if he's gonna read/watch/commit himself to anything he would tear though it as fast as he possibly can. He's a little bit deranged that way. Staying up to consume it until he crashes and passes out for like two days, then wakes up and goes right back to business. He doesn't know how to fucking relax.

He would absolutely have batshit crazy theories because he is the kind of person who never turns his brain off. He can't just sit back and absorb a thing, he's always thinking just a little too much about everything. He would have one of those little conspiracy boards.

He probably cried yeah. He gets invested.

Hunter is.....scared shitless of Gus's movie. Like I notice that in the show he is a lot more easily frightened than you would expect of him. Constantly jumping and squeaking when startled. I figure it's not even the disturbing stuff in Gus's movie that freaks him out but the jumpscares and the suspenseful music. But he still insists on joining the rest of them on the couch to watch it for the first time after it's finished because he is very proud of Gus for making...this...weird....thing? And he is very brave for watching the whole thing and deserves a round of applause.

Welcome to my disasterpiece of a blog

Hi Tumblr, i am a refugee from Twitter who had no choice to escape cuz of the amount of trolling Daddy Elon has caused, so yeah unless Twitter gets back in two feet this is gonna be my new home

About Myself

I am a guy from Argentina, very gay and may or may not be having Gender Dysphoria so probably trans in a couple years lol, I am 100% SFW so no weird stuff, i do swear like a sailor tho lmao

I make art or something

My style is very inconsistent across the board and some of the examples are from last year, but don't worry they are all mine. For most of my drawings i used Medibang paint but now i switched to Ibis Paint cuz Medibang now sucks pure ASS

Music that i like and shit

I like to have an open palate, so i don't exactly have a type of music i like, however lately i'm listening to a lot to Dance, Electronic and Nu-metal music. here's one from an artist called Renard (aka LapFoxTrax/Halley Labs/Heckscaper) i recently found out about them and i have been obsessed (also they made a ton of songs i recognize from years ago so yeah lmao)

(psstt, if you want to listen to more of their music, check out this link)

VIDYA!!!111!!11!11🎮🎮🎮🎮🎮

I love old games, specially early to mid 2000s games. Like i said, i like to have an open palate so i have many amounts of time poured into other games, mostly games that have addicting mechanics, tons of customization or cute animals lmao. But when i'm not playing any of those i'm scouring thru Abandonware websites to download old games for free. Right now i'm playing a lot of Super Animal Royale and i have recently reached level 100, after countless hours of playing on console and PC. Here's a pic of my current character

You are required to view her and appreciate and love and care about her

U2 (as like the website, not the band)

To be honest, YouTube basically swapped Television and streaming services for me, since both of them are getting worse over time, although this is true for YouTube, at least i get to watch nostalgic videos i watched when i was younger. I like Vinesauce a lot, i watch both Vinny and Joel and listen to Red Vox a lot, when i'm not watching Vinesauce i'm probably watching some video essay about something i don't care about to kill time, Richard Overtime, Vsauce (Vsauce, Vinesauce, is that a coincidence?), RebelTaxi, etc

RARITIESSS!!!11!!

RARE VOXGASM VERSION OF HAZY

Before the release of "What Could Go Wrong", Red Vox released There She Goes, Back To School and Hazy as singles, but in the YouTube release, these songs had a little gasm MP3 file snucked into the songs, they are all normal except for that little sound, these videos used to be unlisted but nowadays are unavailable cuz YouTube made all unlisted videos private, but thanks to the people from Voxcord, links of all three songs i had saved and the Wayback Machine, we were able to recover all three songs (i'm only posting one for Tumblr, can DM me for more although i will probably upload these rarities to YouTube or Archive.org)

Some drafts of Why Can't This Be Easy by also Red Vox, i barely have knowledge of these but as i heard, these were shown on stream, and there were three different demos, i could only find two however there's a SoundCloud that has a version that is different from these two, i have no idea if this demo is real since it's unofficial but just in case i'll leave the link here

This is a cool website i found while browsing the Interwebz, it's a gif of the cat from Sapari doing a little dance to a link of random electronic music, and it even changes it's little dance moves when you click on it too!, truly odd but top tier websiting

I have nothing to add ERRR BOOKS

I have many books and mangas in my collection and a lot of 'em are pending, however my collection makes no sense cuz i have 1984 next to Beastars volume 2. or Chainsaw Man next to a Warrior Cats book, but i like it that way, represents very well the way i don't make any sense. Every year i take a trip to a book fair that is kinda far away but it's gigantic, kilometers and kilometers of pure book stands filled with interesting (you guessed it) books

I have a cool meowth plushie

I like pistachio ice cream :3

I have literally nothing else to add, might end it right here

So yeah, that's it for my introduction, hope you guys enjoy the stuff i make and that i can make new friends or at least meet cool people on the way on this website

Au Revoir!

hey love! was wondering if I could get a matchup for the boys. I started playing obey me during my breaks in between classes at college and I’m so hooked! I’m female, she/her, 20, bisexual as hell, INTJ, Leo, ravenclaw/slytherin, and a new media artist (still in college tho). I love game design, 3d modeling, interactive design, visual effects etc. I also love reading, gaming, binge watching, digital illustration, dancing, rollerblading, baking cookies, rearranging my room, and listening to video essays/podcasts/audiobooks. My favorite genres are detective, classics, fantasy, adventure, folklore, mythology and sci fi. I love listening to music in a multitude of languages as well whether Arabic, Italian, French, Hindi and much more. MASSIVE introvert except for with my best friends where my unhinged side comes out. Despite being an introvert I’m very comfortable with leadership. I’m very contemplative and thoughtful, with a variety of interests as well as creative. I’m far from clingy and prefer to keep my own space even if I know you well. I can be a bit stubborn, and opinionated at times however. I’m a huge planner and hate when things go off schedule or when things are chosen abruptly. As for how others see me I think I come off as somewhat cautious and not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends I do make. Think that’s all I got! Thank you!

Okay dang girly, you could have just came out and said you were Levi's girlfriend; it would have been a lot quicker hehe 😂

So yeah, very obviously

I pair you with...

Leviathan

Because holy shit, of course you are. You are literally his dream girl and there's no way around that.

Though it feels obvious to me, Imma break it all down to keep this matchup worth your time~

Let's start with the fun part--your MBTI 🥰

Okay so you are an INTJ, meaning your function stack is NiTeFiSe or NiTe more simply.

This means your primary function is Introverted iNtuition, the function that you use the most to guide you through everyday life. It helps you see life from a broad perspective and connect the dots to the most likely outcome. This helps you strategize the best way to handle life's issues and helps you focus on your goals for the future more so than any immediate wants. This one of the reasons INTJ are also known as the Strategists.

Your auxiliary function, the one that gives the most support to your primary function Ni, is called Extraverted Thinking. While the work of your Ni mainly takes place inside you, Te is the main function you use to interact with your external world. This function provides the external framework on how to achieve the goal your Ni has seen for you. Te is all about what works in reality, what is practical and doable so it really helps you think logically about how to achieve what you need.

Now, I freaking swore I made a post of each other Boys' (or very least, the Brothers') MBTI types, but for the life of me, I can't find that post. It might have been from before I made my Masterlist and it just sort slipped between the cracks, so to speak.

I cannot remember whether I decided that Levi was INTP or INFP, but in truth, it matters little with you because both of these types are generally seen as very compatible with INTJs (especially INFP and omg, as an INFP, I love it cuz you INTJs are amazing and I love you 😭💕)

But back to Levi! Either way, I think with his auxiliary function Extraverted iNtuition (Ne), this man has some trouble really making decisions for himself because Ne helps you see so many possibilities for things, which also leads to his anxiety issues, which is also fueled either by his dominant Introverted Feeling (if INFP) or his Inferior Extraverted Feeling (if INTP).

I think you would be a major comfort to this man. With your NiTe, you give others a sense of reliability. Even during moments where you might not feel so sure of yourself, you have the people around you sure that you'll figure things out.

Honestly, I think that's something Levi needs in a partner; someone he can lean on and trust. He'd follow your lead and feel safer with a decision you made than one he made on his own.

Now onto interests! Girl you're literally learning game design. Please teach him what you know 🙏 He will be so freaking grateful and honestly, this man dreams about the two of you making a game together and actually sees that as an intimate activity for you two (literally gives me vibes of this one post I saw that said Levi's ideal date involved you two putting your Minecraft beds together. It's that level of cute, silly innocence hehe). And of course, he'd love to play games with you too!

Also, reading? Podcasts? Scifi? Fantasy? Adventure? He loves all of these too, even more so now that he knows you share these interest too.

You are literally his perfect Henry. Your seemingly self-assured nature makes this anxious man feel like he can rely on you and be safe with you. Combine this with all of your shared interests and the fact that he feels he can learn so much from you? This man literally can't think of a single thing he did to deserve you, but loves you so dearly all the same~

You are his safe person and in return, he will give you every ounce of love that his heart can make 🥰

Get to know me

Tagged by: @elveny.

Tagging: Whoever wants to!

Share your wallpaper:

That's how I have my desktop set up; the finale shot from FFXIV: Endwalker, and the "Flow" music video final image. Lock screens and wallpapers for my tablet and phone tend to be commissioned art of my OCs.

The last song you listened to: According to Spotify, it woulda been "Moon" by Gabriela Robin on my Discover Weekly list…but I don't really recall hearing most of the songs on there this week, TBH. I was listening while working so the last one to catch my attention was Alex Moukala's Lofi HipHop Remix of "Mortal Instants" from FFXIV.

Currently Reading: Started on William Joyce's Jack Frost: The End of the Beginning from the Guardians of Childhood series. Having caught up on The Locked Tomb and Critical Role's Kith & Kin, a good preteen fantasy series as a light snack before jumping into another adult novel or series is nice.

Last Movie: I legit don't remember. I want to say I watched something recently, but maybe not since my rewatch of Willow.

Craving: usually something sweet and chocolatey

What are you wearing right now: baggy bue-gray tshirt, black yoga pants, some Critical Role socks.

How tall are you: 5'6"

Piercings: Just regular single piercings in my ears.

Tattoos: None; nothing really's jumped at me to get, either.

Glasses? Contacts?: Glasses. I can't stand things touching my eyeballs. I can't even do eyeliner cuz the idea of the pencil that close freaks me out.

Last drink: I have ice water on my desk.

Last show: Star Trek: Picard

Last thing you ate: chocolate ice cream, after having spaghetti and meatballs for dinner (wrote this in the evening, queue'd for morning).

Favourite colour: blues.

Current obsession: Nothing really at the moment.

Unrelated Obsession: Nada. Part of my restlessness right now, really, is waiting on some things, or being in a habit with others, waiting for my brain to catch on something.

Any pets: My tabby cat, Chel. Also known as Chellybean, or Chelcifer. Depending if she's being cute-dumb or cute-naughty. We lost our big boy Rory recently, but roommate's been approved to bring home a new rescue kitty so we'll have another one scampering about soonish.

Do you have a crush on anyone: Not really. Maybe a slight aesthetic girl crush on CR's Dani Carr, but who doesn't, really?

Favourite fictional character: No you can't make me choose.

The last place you traveled: Uh. Heck. Outside of the city I live in, I think it mighta been to Pennsylvania for a cousin's wedding about a year and a half ago.

------------------------------

TAPE #12

THE VOICE OF SAMMY LAWRENCE & ANDREW HUDSON.

A FEW HOURS AFTER THE 11TH TAPE, 1933.

---------------------------

A: "Heyyy! Mr. Sammy!"

S: "Hm?... Oh, great.. what do you want?"

A: "Hey, man, relax! I just heard about ya from Walls— so I wanted to check ya out myself. No need to sweat it just cuz I walked up to ya."

S: "Well, anytime you walk near me, I either can't concentrate or something goes wrong. So do you really think I'm not going to freak out when.. you just come randomly waddling up to me like some kind of—"

A: "Hey, jeez, cool it! Ya say that like I killed your entire family or somethin'. What are ya workin' on anyway? Is it another tune?"

S: "Yes, that was exactly what I was working on before you came in and rudely interrupted me. Now if you don't mind, could you please leave before i—"

A: "Notorious Notes.. this another song for Susie? Huh. Guess I just didn't get to animate the musical number for today then. How long've you been workin' on this one for?"

S: [SIGHS] "About 30 minutes.. and I can't get the melody right if your just standing right next to me, creepily watching over my shoulder. So are you just gonna keep staring at me like an absolute baboon or will you leave?"

A: "Ehhh.. well, I kinda wanna see what ya have down so far. Ya mind if I take a look at it?"

S: [SIGHS AGAIN, BUT HARSHER THIS TIME.] "Well, if it gets you to leave, then fine. Just.. let me work when your done, please."

A: "Alrighty, pal, alrighty."

[WHAT SOUNDS LIKE PAPER SOUNDS AS IF IT IS BEING PICKED UP BY SOMEONE, PRESUMABLY ANDREW. FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, IT GOES COMPLETELY SILENCE, ONLY THE AMBIENCE OF MUFFLED CONVERSATIONS BEING HEARD.]

A: "Damn, nice! No wonder your the head composer here, this shits total fire! I'm sure it's gonna sound even greater with Susie singin' this shit. Ya could be the next beethoven with this shit, buddy."

S: "Oh, don't call me that.. will you leave now? I can't concentrate with you in the room."

A: "Hmm, okay— but one more thing before I leave ya here though."

S: "Ohh... what is it?"

A: "Ya seem real cool, man! We should hang out some time! Maybe ya could be less of a dick to Walls though? From what he said about ya, you kinda sounded mean almost—"

S: "And now that damn janitor is saying things about me. Great, just great.. just wait til Joey hears about this, maybe he'll add more corrections to my work even though it isn't his.. maybe he'll even start paying me less salary! Yeah, because my day always turns out less—"

A: "Err.. what?"

S: "N— Nothing, just.. go."

A: "Ya— ya sure? Ya kinda went on a tangent there, buddy—"

S: "I said it's nothing. Now go. Leave!"

A: "Jesus, fine! Didn't mean to piss ya off there— see ya then, i guess."

[THE DOOR SOUNDS AS IF IT CLOSES.]

S: "Good.. he's finally left. Now you can get back to your work. Maybe if you work hard enough this time, Joey won't call your work a failure, Sammy. You know what he could do if he ends up hating this song.."

Every tech instrument is data mining you. Every single app, hardware, software, etc.

First that thing I mentioned on my phone keeping track of total usage. Week per week. Never turned it on, and it randomly notified me. Unless it is an employer's phone, why the fuck is that an option?

Then I played a song from my personal music on my phone, a song I haven't heard in years, THEN it magically is showing up as recommended youtube video ON MY PC. I AM NOT LOGGED IN TO YOUTUBE ON MY PHONE AT ALL. Maybe INDIRECTLY thru google, but not directly: I can't like or comment. But my phone's youtube knew a song I played off of my memory card & could tell my PC's youtube to go to it....

And finally this was the nail in the coffin. I love watching top 10 lists on youtube. I saw one today of top 10 banned movies. I have not genuinely been freaked out like this by tech in years*. Impossible that it is coincidence. One of them was a very very specific OLD ass Italian movie (which I had never heard of before today) about dictators torturing teens for pleasure. It's supposedly really fucked up. Not gonna tell you the title cuz I ain't watching it either. Some 'art' borders on snuff films IMO. ANYWAYS, it's from 1975. ... Go to one of my main 'legal' streaming websites. Smack dab in the middle of top trending was this fucking movie. THIS is how eerie it is: Not a SINGLE movie surrounding it was from ANY other year but 2023. Every movie up there was 2023. But there's some RANDOM Italian film from 1975 RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of my recommendations only an...hour after watching the youtube video....

*the last one was years ago, my sis & I had a conversation on the phone. Just a basic what's up. Next day, she texts and says 'did you tell anyone about what we talked about?' I was like 'no. What motivation would I have to? We didn't talk about anything in particular.' She says along the lines of 'well, we talked about something I was interested in buying, I have not told anyone OR searched for it online. But I woke up today to a bunch of ads for it.' Aka, the ONLY way they could know to advertise to her that product was from our phone call, alone, we had just the night before. We aren't heading to a dystopian future; we're smack dab in the middle of it....

It's hard to scare/intimidate me, but....these freaked me out. I mean, with AI, they may be able to predict your actions and what you'll even say....we're just 0's and 1's now....nobody is an individual. Nobody has rights. There's only gods of money now. And exactly why I say we have to kill the federal reserve, wall street, big banking, and make it all localized AND public. Money is the ONLY way they get away with this long term...but seriously: they have tech to borderline read your fucking minds and know what you'll do even before you do it....

Hi! How are you? I have a Chihuahua and his name is Tony but mostly I just call him toey without the n. I hate finding bruises later..it freaks me out more even if it doesn't even hurt. When and why are you going to Boston? It seems fun!

Haha I don't blame you. I liked them but wasn't obsessed anymore by the time I went to see them. Like I never loved them the way I love Taylor really..but I think cuz I wasn't as obsessed during 1989 either was maybe why my mom thought I would prefer to see them. That was actually I think my first big concert in a stadium show besides Kelly Clarkson. I don't really listen to their music anymore really but I still like them individually I guess but I wasn't like a crazy fan girl or anything. I was also obsessed with showtunes at the time and twenty one pilots and some heavier bands lol. That was the kind of concerts we went to actually. My music taste is all over the place.

Well I honestly can't remember most of the songs from Jekyll or Bloody Bloody anyway but it is mostly just like campy. I would love to see Little Shop or Rocky live..they were doing a showing in early October but I missed it. I thought it would be closer to Halloween. Something Rotten is so fun..I vividly remember watching the Tonys performance and laughing like..what the heck is that? I was intrigued..I also think Shakespeare is so funny. Then Fun Home was a really good one too..it left a strong impression and showed me the serious side of musicals. Finding Neverland is not fun haha..I remember crying at the end of the show. Gentleman's Guide is a fun show and I remember the Tony performance too. I guess I do kinda like silly musicals too if they're done well but I think I'm more into the serious ones or maybe something in between. Sondheim is a great example of that but he does have humor in his shows too. Sweeney is my favorite Sondheim show and then probably Sunday or into the Woods I guess. I do like Company too but I'm not as familiar with the full show and it's more about loving the songs for me. I also feel that way about Sunday but Company and Sunday both have a stronger message in the shows..with the ending songs Being Alive and Moving On. I'm hoping to see it too and I'm very interested to see how I feel about the gender swap.

Oh cool! Beautiful World is also on my list..im pretty sure I read some of it before but that was a year or two ago lol. I enjoyed Normal People but didn't really care for Conversations with Friends as much. I also never even finished the show of Normal People either, but I want to..I know a lot of people really like it. I struggled with some of her writing and no quotations too. I actually read some of the Night Circus the other day and was surprised by how engaging it was. I thought I would have a problem and it would be hard to read 3rd person or cuz it was old fashioned but it wasn't at all! I think it was set up really well and hooked me in right away. I hope I can keep up with the timeline and it doesn't become confusing with more characters. Sometimes I make guesses or predictions on things when I read but then I end up flipping thru it instead. This happened cuz I was trying to figure out how many parts there were or how long chapters are and why the book is split up like that but I guess I will see. I did a similar thing with Tomorrow x3 and ended up seeing a spoiler..lol. so I hope that doesn't happen with this. I read all of the backstory so far or when they were children. Ooh that fancast could be interesting I think but sometimes it doesn't work in your head as much as you want, and can be pretty hard to come up with too. It's just that sometimes when I'm reading a book and I know what the author looks like, I end up picturing the author as the character instead lol. This has happened with Emily Henry for example but most times I don't even know what they look like anyway..but since this is less modern, I thought it might help. A fun thing was that I had the book next to a cover of the Blurryface album by twenty one pilots and it was the same exact colors..black, white and red, and looked extremely similar, next to each other which made me smile.

That's also why I thought reading TBOSS might help now with the movie coming out cuz there is already a cast. I figured out that if I read 2 chapters a day, I could be done in like 15 days just in time for the movie so I might be focused on that for now. I actually think the movie might be better than the book anyway though but I think it's okay so far. I understand wanting to finish the Hunger Games first though. I loved the Olivia song. It was pretty different for her or at least pretty different from Guts, so I was surprised in a good way. Her voice is pretty powerful and it totally fits the tone of the movie. It made me wonder if it was easier or harder for her to write lyrics based on something or not..or if she has a personal connection to the lyrics as well, since there is always a part of songwriters in their lyrics like authors having parts of themselves in their characters in books. Omg wait..how do you have mutual friends with her? That's so cool..I'd love to hang out with her! The first time I heard her voice was singing Shallow but it's cool she loves Broadway and also Taylor too. Maybe that's why I think we would get along. I would recommend the West Side movie and I appreciate it being updated but I just preferred the original a lot more. That's just me though and I have watched the original so many times. I think a lot of people actually do prefer the new one more which is interesting but I guess it also makes sense. I think its pretty funny her and her bf were in West Side and now this movie..she is truly living the dream haha.

Pick whichever url makes you happy I'll still be able to find you :) or you can ask my opinion if you want. I've never changed my url but I changed blogs before..or made new ones and I've been here since 2010 lol. I think the vault does sound like Midnights a little but I think.its just a similar sound that probably inspired the sound of the album in the first place. Like people think Suburban Legends sounds exactly like Mastermind but I don't actually hear that. That specific lyric made me think of Midnights but my point was she has always had songs or a similar idea like it since her first album..so I don't get when people say she didn't write it in that era or whatever. I still think some of the vault still had an 80s sound to it though and someone pointed out Say Don't Go kinda sounds like her can't stop loving you cover and I sort of agree with that. I love that theme too and a fun fact about me is I've never seen the movie sliding doors but I actually think I will watch it soon. Oh that sucks! I hope you can get tickets closer to you..and everything works out.

I've never heard of these before but thanks for telling me! I will check them out and I hope I'm pretty good at them. I am familiar with a lot of stuff even if it's a movie or show I haven't seen so I'll tell you if it's easy or hard.

What did your mom think of the show? Oh that's such a bummer that the show had technical problems. Your seats looked pretty good though and I'm glad you were able to enjoy it anyway. I think I prefer the act one so it was maybe less noticeable for me but I see what you mean. I mostly agree with you about Wait For Me as the closer and Why We Build the Wall isn't as dramatic for the act one finale. Wait For Me was definitely one of the best parts of the show for me but what about you? Is there different things you noticed since you have seen it before?

My weekend was good! I actually went to a casino which was kinda fun. I played a Little Shop and Wonka machine and was able actually to win some money on them but not for long or as much as I hoped. Thank you for the hug and well wishes! I will probably need it as I will feel stressed and busy for the next month though so I might not be able to reply as often. I hope you feel relaxed and rested this week before your trip!

hi friend!

that's so so cute — i call toto a bunch of things too; totoroto, bobo, totes, among others, and he's learned to respond to all of them 🥺 i'm definitely soaking all the toto cuddles i can before my trip (he's sleeping on my lap as i reply to you); it's a very short trip, but :( i leave for boston sooooooon! i'm just visiting a friend for the long weekend, and we have some fun things planned!!

i've never liked an artist the way i like taylor and i don't think i ever will find someone else like that — growing up alongside her music is something very very special that i will never get to replicate, because her music has really soundtracked so much of my life! before this year i didn't really go to concerts (i'd go to like the occasional theatre one if there happened to be one near me but not like a concert concert), and so i feel like i'm making up for lost time haha. i think by the end of this year i'll have gone to like ten concerts and two music festivals? which is kind of crazy when i think about it that way! what's your favorite concert you've ever been to?

something rotten is very fun! have you also listened to & juliet? some of my friends are obsessed with it! i'm hoping that they'll do a national tour and come to seattle at some point so i can see it; i don't foresee myself going to new york anytime soon :( but things could always change! have you ever listened to eleri ward's indie folk sondheim covers? her voice is beautiful!

my rooney ranking is normal people > beautiful world > convo with friends! but i might actually change my mind and bring CWF with me, i haven't quite decided yet. i loveeeed the normal people show, it's one of the few adaptations that i think does the source material justice! and i think paul and daisy have not just wonderful chemistry, but also an amazing understanding of the characters.

i'm really glad you've been liking night circus! i have not been reading it much; i've just been very busy but hopefully will get on it once i'm back from boston! i did start reading cleopatra and frankenstein while i was at the doctor's office this week, and i found the first two chapters to be really funny. i'm not sure if it's actually funny or if it's a "i'm not supposed to laugh here so i'm trying to be quiet and so everything is funnier and i cannot stop laughing" situation, but i'm hoping to finish it tonight (very unlikely; i have a ton of stuff i need to do before boston) because otherwise i will probably never pick it up again. i always do this; i get super into a book a few days before i have to leave and i don't finish it and by the time i'm back from my trip i'm no longer interested (did the same thing in may, and again in january). if you have an idea for a night circus cast, let me know! i'm definitely interested to hear what your choices are :) i hope you continue liking it!

i really, really loved olivia's song — i keep thinking about how hauntingly beautiful it is! i thought about getting the 7" of it, but i rarely spin 7" vinyls, and i think i should save my money for other vinyls ... but i'm still thinking about it haha. i do! i have some friends in the theatre scene :)

i change my url so often! i'm always worried you won't be able to find me but i do try to do a redirect etc so people can always find me 🤍 i probably won't do anything until i'm back from boston, and then maybe by then i'll want to do something else anyways! what are your thoughts on the vault tracks now that it's been a few weeks? i think my rankings have shifted — i definitely like now that we don't talk, slut and is it over now? more than i did before! speaking of, eras tour is back today!!!! one of my dear friends is going to eras tonight and i'm so so excited for her 🥺

let me know how those games go for you! i didn't do murdle yesterday because i got busy and forgot and now i'm like "i'll just start it up again once i'm back from boston" because my streak will be broken anyways. would not recommend doing murdle on your phone!! it's much much easier (better user interface) on a computer.

my mom had fun! she said it reminded her of come from away and jasper in deadland — i understand the jasper connection, because it's also based off of the orpheus eurydice myth but i'm not sure how she got come from away from that haha. wait for me is probably in my top 3 hadestown moments! i remember my friend gripping my hand out of shock and excitement when we first saw hadestown (first preview on broadway!). i think of that moment + her every time i listen to wait for me!

i hope next month is okay! sending you lots of love! remember to take care of yourself <3333

hello hello good morning!

yeah i get the feeling, especially since on the internet with a screen between you and other people is even harder to express your emotions and sincere gratitude, but as long as you're genuine i think it's already really great! i'm sure you will find a way to accept them with a light heart <3 also cute aggressions and fierce love are PEAK you can't change my mind talk to a wall ~_~

awe, look who's whipped for their favourite boy ^u^ it's understandable really, i mean he's adorable and idieossjsi also yes i read that reply and my my, that's so freaking awesome! as i said it's a beautiful type of love language, cuz you also trust someone to give them your skin as a canvas so it's a HUGE display of your affection for them :'3 can't wait to see how you're gonna eventually add it somewhere else, it's gonna be so adorable i'm already whipped ueidjsisjsjj ;-;

as long as he doesn't make it taste funny as a punishment for being my menacing self i'm in! also cuz homemade food >>>>>>>> like yeah cook it before we crash the couch and fall asleep watching pixar, and i'm yours <3 and in general home dates are the best, you just chill and do what you want, even dancing in the living room! (with or without music is the same, it's more for the "wanna keep you close" thought eheh)

please villainous (in fiction) partners are the best, you have them wrapped around your finger and whatever you want they're gonna get it, just say the word, cuz your happiness is theirs! "that ring looks cute" and they will steal it for you, "that person was so rude to me!" and said person will disappear and never be found again. say a single letter and the world shall perish and kneel before you!

— ❄️

i’ve been staring at this ask for a while now while trying to figure out a response but my brain is so fried from college and writing and lack of sleep that i don’t think i’ll be able to add much to what you already said, sorry ㅠㅠ

i feel like i’m already not good at expressing emotions especially through facial expressions (people always ask if i’m alright, my eyes are as dead as childe’s /lh), so i always have to spell it out anyway, the screen doesn’t change much because of this hshsh

i’m so down bad for him jshsh; because of the self-ship ask game i’ve been brainrotting and daydreaming about him a lot more and he’s just so adorable >///< i would trust this man with my life, he’s so responsible and attentive, go ahead and draw over my entire back, i do not care, if it makes you happy, it makes me happy!!

i’d give everything for a chill indoor date rn, i’d fall asleep after 5 minutes of cuddling but i’d be so down; speaking of watching movies though… i wonder what scara would be into; maybe something indie and artsy? i should think about this… but yeah!! slow dancing in the kitchen past midnight my beloved <3 it’s so cute and intimate, there’s something magical about feeling like you’re the only people in the world and literally dancing like nobody’s watching!!

it’s the echoed sentiment of having a hero sacrifice you for the greater good vs a villain sacrificing the world for your sake… and while i love myself a hot an interesting villain, there’s a third category that makes me go 👀 … morally grey characters; neither here nor there, you never know just what side they’re on other than their own; obvious character flaws but not inherently evil… yeah childe, it’s childe

#┊✩彡 divine correspondence ♡#┊✩彡 cherished guests ♡#┊✩彡 letter from — ❄️ anon ♡#nothing zaps my energy faster than writing sth i don’t like #time to try writing more #i’d put solomon from obey me into the last paragraph as well #shady wizard who’s really silly actually /lh

Brown Eyed Girl- Part One

Pairing: Elliot (Euphoria) x Reader

Summary: The reader and Elliot have been dating since middle school. Best friends through baby pictures, pre-school, grade school, everything. But when middle school sweethearts are turned into parents in a seemingly quick turn of fate, will their lifelong friendship and relationship last?

Word Count: 2.1k (shorter cuz it's like a opener)

Warnings: Mentions of sex, pregnancy and abortion, angst.

A/n: Hello all, I've finally got a fic going on! This will be like ten parts and I'm really hoping you guys like this and I can't wait to see all of your lovey messages and comments❤️

I never wanted to be a trope.

I’ve been reading fanfiction since puberty, hyperfixating on my newest obsession, my newest comfort character, my newest obsession. Every other week I’d have someone new to focus on, someone who caught my attention, tugged at my heart strings, someone who made me feel beyond belief. There’s something comforting about investing in something like that, waiting for the newest part, interacting with people with similar interests, implanting yourself in these complicated, well-written (sometimes) stories and ideas. It was the greatest escape I had ever found and experienced and still is comforting to me today. To be able to take a break from my parents fighting, from their split, my dad’s complete vanishing act from mine and my sisters life, my mom's alcoholism; the reading gave me an escape from all of it, and a healthy one at that, especially compared to my eldest sister’s denial.

I suppose that’s why my sister Lexi and I get along.

She’s a bookworm too, a total art freak. We shared a similar taste in music, movies, shows, actors and actresses, along with the same dislikes and pet peeves in art. And boy, could we go on for hours about all of it. None of our other friends growing up shared our similar liking to books and poems, even down to our movie choices; they thought we were odd because of our ‘mature’ taste, finding it weird that we weren't watching the childish shows and reading the picture books that our friends were enjoying.

Not only that but we were constantly reading and writing years above our grade and age group. The school system considered having us skip grades at a few points throughout our pre-highschool years but they didn’t want us to miss out on the social aspect that elementary school and middle school offered to us. But we weren’t interested in the social aspect of school, knowing that we were enough for each other and not caring for all the drama that kids our age were so obsessed with.

She and I were always sharing and swapping stories and ideas based on the books we were reading. We would read published books, we’d read on social media, watch fan-edits, scroll through Tumblr and Reddit into the deep, dark hours of the night. I dabbled in writing a bit but not like her, no, not like Lexi. She had a knack for writing, for creating these deep stories like the ones that we loved reading when we were kids when our dad would read us to sleep every night.

Lexi and I were always best friends, but I guess that came with the title of twins, right?

We were genetically identical, maybe not so much in looks though. We differed in our smiles, our eyes were the slightest bit different in color and shape but somehow our mannerisms were completely the same and have been as we grew up. Maybe it was because we spent all the time with each other that was humanly possible, picking up on each other’s quirks throughout our years. It was easy to get to know her throughout my life because she was practically me, the way her eyebrows would tick up, what certain smiles told me about how she felt, how her blinks changed when she was excited. We knew everything about each other and we were closer than any siblings could ever possibly be.

Our other sister on the other hand was a bit different than us.

She’s our eldest sister, the one who’s supposed to pave the way, to be the guiding hand that leads us through life and steers us out of trouble. An older sister is supposed to be someone you can go to when you’ve gotten yourself into trouble or someone to rant to when you need advice.

But Cassie was not that. She still is not that.

Cassie is reckless, the one who needs most of the advice compared to being the one to give it, she’s erratic and emotional. She’s always been the type to feel with her whole heart which is probably her biggest strength but in the past has also proven to be her biggest weakness. Between her relationship choices, the people she chooses to get involved with, her decisions to try to keep in touch with our father after he left to fall into a little white baggie, and her constant disapproval of how everyone else around her lives their lives; she’s reckless, controlling and she craves everything that life has to offer, in every toxic way.

She was no help when our father left, clinging onto the fact that he was going to return, begging a god she didn’t believe in to send him home, waiting at the end of our driveway every other weekend. She wanted him to become a new person, to suddenly get sober, become better, and to come home to us and our mother.

Our mother, who was falling apart every day in the marriage let alone out of it.

It was in her best interest to be without our father, who spurred her alcoholism on, it was the best opportunity for her to grow without him holding her back. That was something that Cassie could never see or accept. Lexi and I knew this, we knew our parents weren’t the best people, that they both had their faults, but together they were suffocating their kids, especially their youngest.

Over the years, my mom had improved, her drinking slowly dissipating and slowing down. It just clicked one day, maybe after Cassie got pregnant, that her children needed her and she needed them more than the empty bottles of wine that she was collecting by her side instead of her family. Once Cassie needed her, she was awake and ready, and it definitely hurt Lexi and I that after all those years of neglect and how quick to anger she was, she was ready to be a mother again the minute that Cassie got herself into a bad situation. And to think of all the times that Lexi and I could’ve used a mom, it’s upsetting.

But either way, we got our mom back.

Lexi and I got our way through high school, all the way to senior year, Cassie graduating and getting a move on with an interior design degree. Lexi and I were most excited to be done with highschool, to be done with the people and the teachers who constantly mixed us up. We were most excited to move on with our lives and solidify our individuality with different college degrees. Lexi was obviously going for journalism and myself, still undecided. I was hoping that things would fall into place and help me make my decision and looking at how my day is going today, it’s starting to make a bit of sense.

I know that I said that I didn’t want to be a trope and I meant it. I didn’t want to be what I read, I didn’t want to be predictable or ‘old’. I wanted to be something new, something important and relevant in the world and I definitely didn’t want to be like Cassie. I knew that. Cassie and I had nothing in common, she hated school, she only cared about things that were measured at face value, she was more about shock factor than the quality of her actions. She’s reckless. I never thought that anything would bring us together or give me perspective of how and why she does what she does, but this?

This gave me perspective that I didn’t want.

It’s important to know that I wasn’t the type of person to ‘trap’ guys. Cassie did that, Cass is a trapper of men, figuring out anything and everything to keep the most toxic of men at her side like some trophy, like an accomplishment. I just wanted a wholesome relationship, something easy and full of life, something new and life changing. I didn’t want to just be in a relationship to be in a relationship, I didn’t want to date to just date who ever the fuck I wanted, to fuck whoever I wanted. I wanted to be in a relationship full of love and life, I wanted to feel everything that love had to offer and I wanted it with the one person that I’ve known as long as I’ve known myself.

Elliot has been my best friend since birth. Our mothers grew up together, pushing us together the minute that I was born. We were literally bred to be together, like some arranged marriage type thing. Our moms would dress us up together, take photos daily together, we played together, went to school together; everything. Every memory I had of my life, Elliot was there along with Lexi. They were my people, my whole heart and soul.

I knew that I felt more for Elliot when he first started dating around in ninth grade, right around the same time that my dad left and around the same time that his mom died and he moved in with his cousin. I already had these issues, clinging onto the men around me, Elliot, my male family members, male teachers who told me they were proud of my good grades. It hurt when he started to venture out into the world, kissing and hugging, holding, other girls that weren’t me. It pissed me off, my barely teenage heart could barely handle it so we fell off for a bit. That was until I told him how I felt.

I remember it like it was yesterday, the end of sophomore year and Elliot had just broken up with his latest fling. He told me it was because she just ‘wasn’t for him’ but he later told me down the line that it was me that was for him and he just wanted to be done with all the other girls. It came at a convenient time because he had just realized his feelings for me and I had been working up the courage to actually tell him that I thought that I was in love with him. We ended up blurting it out at the same time, giggling for a few and then agreeing that we would take it slow, not wanting to ruin the almost sixteen years of friendship that we had going for us.

It’s safe to say that we didn’t ruin anything.

Our relationship, because of our friendship, was so simple. No jealousy, no fighting or agitation. Just simple dates, heated kisses in the backseat of his car when I was supposed to be home. He gave me this sense of newness while also giving me the same familiarity that he had given me for years. He was my safe place, my person, even as our relationship grew deeper and deeper, even more intimate by the day. I always felt safe and never doubted his loyalty and love for me.

But now, looking down at the two lines on the test that seem to be staring back at me, it’s the first time that I’ve ever questioned my loyalty to him. How could I do this to him? I know that this isn’t my fault, that it takes two, but I almost feel guilty as I set the test down onto the cool tile counter, my eyes tearing up as I think of what to do. I didn’t want to be like Cassie, not because of her choice, because her choice was valid and it was hers, but I didn’t want my decision to be dictated by a man. She was so quick to let her boyfriend at the time have full say over what was going to happen just because she wanted to be with him. And she didn’t even end up with him in the end, left with this ghost of a decision that she ponders every day if she did the right thing.

I’m going with my gut and my gut is saying that I’m going through with this, that even if Elliot turns his nose up to it, not wanting the pressure or responsibility yet in his life, I would understand.

I would have to understand. He’s my best friend, always has been, even if we have different opinions over this situation. So if Elliot is loyal and wants to be with me like he’s said so many times, this was his test. This was the ultimate test of both of our loyalties towards each other, a test of our love and strength, to see if it survives a pregnancy and a child, even at our young age.

So screw college, screw making a decision, this is my decision.

May I have an MHA/BNHA matchup? :0 if ur matchups are closed by the time u see this, or u just don't feel like writing one, you can ignore!

I'm an INFP/J (last time I took an MBTI test I was equal on this...idek 😬) and my zodiacs are sun Leo, moon Aquarius, rising Capricorn

I'm introverted and quiet irl, but I get told I'm rude and have an attitude around ppl I don't like lol (mostly just a-holes like homophobes and racists), but I'm friendly around nice people :) Most of the time I have a pessimistic mindset but that changes a lot.

I also have ADHD and possibly PTSD

My kins are Aizawa, Deku, and Tokoyami. (Or Todoroki, Jirou, and Bakugou, too.)

My hobbies/passions are drawing, music, making stories (in my head cuz I forget to write everyday lol). I also like gaming, watching Youtube or Twitch streamers, and eating 🌮🎂🍕 I'm also a huge nerd and love to research pointless topics lmao (and I like research mental health :>)

I dislike really toxic people (like ab*sers or hateful people), talkative people (ppl who can strike up convos and keep them going are fine, but ppl who can't stand silence and always have to talk about something all day just annoy me :l), loud noises and alcohol cuz they're triggers for me. (I also hate the cold, idk if that's relevent tho lol)

My fashion sense is pretty much anything alt! Mainly goth, punk, kawaii, scene, and a lil emo (+kidcore and hippie 💖) I don't have a main fave so any of those are fine to me

Random facts about myself? I grew up around metal/death rock (and punk rock...pretty much every genre of rock lolol) so any types of heavy, energetic music genres are always my faves.

I used to be a brony-creepypasta fan and I still kinda am deep inside lmao, so my partner better get used to me talking about Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory...😂😬

I've been tryna regain my childhood for months now 😔 sad fact lmfao

Aaanddd I'm a geography freak :) I love learning about different countries and unique languages

Last fact! I admire alt ppl so much lol, for example everytime I see a fellow goth by baby bat ass just wants to be besties with them but I'm too shy and awkward to talk to them 😭

Again, if u don't feel like writing or ur matchups are already closed, feel free to ignore! I hope you have an amazing day 😊

I honestly didn’t know I had such cool moots 😭 Literally where have you been my entire life people?

I match you up with:

Kyouka Jirou!

Hc:

- When she saw you she instantly fell in love. On the moment she knew you were perfect in every little way, with every quirk of your personality and action. Even if you come off as rude for most people, she has literal stars in her eyes as she watches you. Will also defend you to the end of the world (it’s not your fault M*neta is being a scum again)

- Was and still is nervous around you, always blushing like crazy and fidgeting with her ears. At first, she brushed off the feelings she had, hoping they would fade away. Wrong. The moment you hit her with a geography fact, she was done, lost the war and now had the word ‘love’ tattooed all over her brain.

- How did she confess to you, you may ask… She. Wrote. You. A. Song. And sang it to you. Just imagine what happened in her heart when she found out you were just as down bad for her as she was. (Kyouka started that day to write more songs about you and by now she has enough material for an album)

- You are almost always in eachother’s presence, even if you are not really interacting. It’s just being in the same room that is comforting.

- You also go on shopping dates together and basically go through every alt shop you find, buying endless accessories and clothes, sometimes even matching things. You know the lego half heart necklace thing? You both have one of those, and never take them off (except for bath ofc)

- She help you throughout every ptsd attack. When smth triggers you, she is fast to get you out of that place and comfort you in small ways. Jirou knows that is better to not suffocate you right now, but still stays with you until you feel better. She doesn’t want you to ever feel sad or depressed again, and be sure that Kyouka makes it her goal to bring a little light in your life. In return, you always comfort and praise her when insecurity hits, reminding her of how much love you have for her, and how you’ll never let the thing you have go.

- You listen to music together, obviously, but also watch a lot of videos on youtube. When either of you comes over to the other’s dorm you do this and it’s honestly so cute (and domestic?) and i want it to.

- 10/10, easily the best gf there is.

Bumblebee (2018)

Good Evening worshippers, and welcome! Today the Cult of Cult goes a little more mainstream than usual. It's been a while since i've tackled a big Hollywood superhero film. But I do believe that these sorts of films will be remembered fondly my small groups of people in the future, especially the smaller films that are being overshadowed by the big bad MCU, films like 2018s Bumblebee.

The Messsage

Bumblebee was originally released as a prequel to the Transformers franchise that had started all the way back in 2007. However, reboots had really hit the market as a way to breath new life into struggling franchises, and the Transformers series had already gone to just about every absurd extreme you could imagine. No changes were made to the movie as it was released, but with it's more childish and heartfelt tone, and a new aesthetic that was softer, smoother, and all around just generally more pleasing to the eye, I think it was a wise choice to rebrand Bumblebee as a new beginning.

Our story is of two friends from two very different worlds and how they came together. Our first character is Bumblebee, then known as B- number sign/it doesn't really matter. Not yet Bumblebee is a soldier set with securing a safe location for the Autobots to regroup and make their home as they suffer a pretty serious defeat on cybertron at the hands of the tyrannical Decepticons. Optimus Prime, here again voiced by Peter Cullen and looking so much more like himself, assigns this task to Bumblebee promising him that they will meet him there when the time comes. Then Optimus fucks off for the rest of the run time making way for our little hero.

Bumblebee lands on Earth and is immediately set upon by John Cena and his military goon squad. It probably would have been wise for Bumblebee to avoid John Cena but in his defense, he couldn't see him. Hardy har har. In his attempt to flee his voice box is damaged, he seeks sanctuary by taking the form of a run down little VW bug, and suffers from amnesia.

Then we have Charlie. Charlie is not like other girls. She likes cars, all the retro music, which wasn't retro when the movie takes place, so I'm supposed to just think she's a rocker but it kinda seems like she'll listen to just about anything. I think in 2018 liking Motorhead and The Smiths (who are used ad nauseum in this movie) is perfectly common, but I feel like in the 80s that was a much different and much older attitude to take.

Anyway Charlie's poor family lives in a super fucking nice house and are poor because the dialogue keeps insisting they are so it must be true despite all the shit they have that actually poor people would sell blood and teeth to attain, but hell, this is Hollywood and Hollywood poor is like regular people upper middle class. Charlies family is so poor that instead of giving her a one time graduation/birthday present to buy a part for a car she already has, they just give her a moped, She also spends all her time at a pull apart where the manager (who might be her uncle that wasn't super clear) is willing to just give her a Volkswagen so I don't understand why she didn't already have the project car up and running. Whatever, it's a plot contrivance. All you need to know is that Charlie is tenacious and hard around the edges cuz her dad is dead and she's not yet mature enough to process that in a healthy way. Maybe her character arch will teach her to let others in, we'll have to find out.

There's also a wacky nerd named Memo, and some bad guys, and John Cena. They are all also pretty archetypal and contrived and don't really do anything of note that isn't just filling a beat that this kind of movie needs to walk. Charlie starts Bumblebee up, discovers he's a robot and the two begin to bond. Charlie learns to make a friend, and bumblebee is learning about himself. They get into hijinks and get revenge on a bully girl who makes Regina George look like a saint, she pretty much only picks on Charlie exclusively for having a dead dad.

The moment Bumblebee is woken back up, some technology goof em up that both he and Charlie are unaware of brings two Decepticon baddies into the picture. I don't remember their names, but since I love The Venture Brothers let's say they can be "Jet Boy and Jet Girl". Jet Boy and Jet Girl are sometimes cars, sometimes various flying military vehicles, and they make friends with the deep state and plan to get all the adrenochrome from all the orphans, or just to go find Bumblebee and beat his ass good cuz their bad guys. Let me tell y'all though, Jet Boy and Jet Girl are so bad that they don't even care that the government is listening when they reveal that they are planning on bringing a Decepticon Invasion and after they rough up Bumblebee real good they are going to destroy all life on this planet. So they start by killing a military scientist.

John Cena is after Bumblebee and he's homies with Jet Boy and Jet Girl until the military scientist butt dials him and he hears the evil plan. John Cena goes from heel to face and helps Bumblebee and Charlie save the day. It's a giant CG clusterfuck climax a la any superhero film in the last 10 years and I basically stopped watching. BumbleBee pulls a Hellraiser on Jet Boy, and then he hits Jet Girl with a freaking boat. Charlie uses her diving skills do dive down and save him, but he's a Giant Robot and he was okay and it was literally pointless for her to to except as a way to show that her character has completed her arch by doing the thing that was representative of her connection with her lost father.

Bumblebee turns into the Camaro from the first movie, meets up with Optimus prime, and the stage is set for this prequel to squeeze more prequels out. So it wasn't very creative, but was it bad? Let's find out.

Please Stand to receive the Benediction.

Best Aspect: Transform the Franchise

Bumblebee was directed by Travis Knight of Laika fame and it shows. This movie marks a stylistic change in the transformers franchise, as in it doesn't look like utter dog shit, but it also represents in many ways a tonal shift. It does hold on to a lot of gross sleaze that has unfortunately been forcibly jammed into the DNA of the franchise but it also attempts to be a more heartfelt entry. The characters of Bumblebee might all be sort of a waste of time, but at least they are doing something with emotions, even if the emotions of the characters are only explored as deeply as a children's cartoon I'm glad they are there. In the previous installments the only thing the characters did between running from action piece to seizure inducing action piece was drool over underage girls like a bunch of chimpanzees at the facility where they test experimental E.D. meds. It was nice to see that at least somewhat tampered. This transformers movie feels more like it's for kids and young teenagers, and strangely that more friendly tone makes for a much less juvenile product.

Worst Aspect: Remember I Love the 80s from the 2000s

I hope you really like Stranger Things. I do, but because Stranger Things was so successful it' s going to be everywhere. Not true Stranger Things just 80s nostalgia porn. This 80s nostalgia is going to be forced on you whether you like it or not, and it's not going to be fun. It's gonna be in your shows, in your music, in your Sunday like Bacon in 2010. It's that or Marvel Franchise Brand Whedonisms. Bumblebee is that brave movie that says, "Why not both?" It would seem fitting that a property as quintessentially 80s as Transformers should feel completely comfortable doing a period piece set in the 80's but it's so fucking half hearted it's depressing. It wasn't done to appreciate the roots of the IP, it was done to cash in on a trend and it feels it. All they did was throw up a date and insufferably force an 80s soundtrack down your throat as if that was enough to convince you that this movie needed to be set during this time. Other than that you could have told me this film was set in 2007 and I couldn't tell you any different.

Best Character: Charlie's an Angel

I liked Charlie. Sure her Arc is predictable, her taste is dumb, and she isn't exactly a master of her own destiny to any degree. But at least she is a woman in a transformers movie who's got something going on. Sure she's defined entirely by grief, but that sure is better than pretending that being able to work on cars is a feminist character trait instead of a weird fetish thing. They certainly do that thing with Charlie, but at least it's not the only thing they throw at the wall. Bumblebee is by no means out of the woods in this department, but it garners a lot of goodwill for trying. Like a racist uncle who just started his journey out of ignorance, but hasn't yet realized he has to stop asking mortifying questions to the barista at Starbucks. Okay, maybe that's an extreme metaphor. I'm saying that perhaps Charlie is not a great character but she's a great character for a Transfomers movie.

Worst Character: It's JOOOOHHHNNNN CEEEENA!!!!

Why is John Cena in this movie? I don't hate the guy, but his character seems pointless. You could remove him from the movie completely and replace him with any one of the random military goons at any point and it changes nothing. What was with that dumb salute at the end? It seems like they put him in this movie in post and it was just to pump up cast list. I wish he was given anything to work with. I can't remember his characters name, and it's not like John Cena did a bad job, I was just annoyed every time they kept giving him hero shots. I felt like I was watching a trailer for a different movie.

Best Actor: Optimal Primo!

Every time Peter Cullen speaks I want to listen. There's a reason they haven't had Chris Pratt or somebody with a bigger name come in and take over the role at this point. He's why the audience keep coming back. Peter Cullen IS Optimus Prime, and there's no changing that. He also wins twice. He's the best actor in the movie AND he's barely in the movie. Good call Peter.

Worst Actor: Mean Girls 2, Meaner and Girlier

I don't want to be cruel so I'm not going to go into to much detail, but there's an actress in this film who's performance is so mustache twirlingly evil and stupid that it ruined my suspension of disbelief when i knew going in that i was about to endure a 2 hour toy commercial about robots that turn into cars. Beldar Conehead was a more convincing human being than Tina.

Best Effect: Goo Be Gone

I really appreciated when the bad guys shot the government nerd into a blast of snot. That was pretty fun for me. Best part of the movie hands down.

Worst Effect: Live Action?

Bumblebee is a cartoon. It's a great looking cartoon but it doesn't sell itself that way. If we were doing a Roger Rabbit thing I'd have no gripes. However, I think CG is just getting worse. I'm criticizing this and it's still lightyears better than the previous entry's on the franchise. No transformation or fight sequence in Bumble Bee had me straining to make sense of what I was looking at. I think it was a great idea to start using some basic shapes and outlines to these characters, and return somewhat to their 80s designs. But at certain points, especially when there were no humans in the shot, i was pretty convinced I was watching Clone Wars. There may not be anyway around this, as the Transformers concept might not be able to be pulled off in any more effective manner. It's a minor gripe, but I just didn't think it looked like anything other than a very expensive cartoon, and in this franchise that's a compliment, because it least it looked like SOMETHING!

Best Scene: Space Opera

I am not a Transformers fan. I missed the boat on the cartoon as a kid. I would sometimes catch it at friends houses but I was more into Batman, Star Wars, and Ninja Turtles. By the time I came onto the scene the world had moved on to Beast Wars. I did one day arbitrarily decide that my favorite Transformer was Sound Wave. He looked great in this. I am a big fan of the return to form with a lot of the character designs in this. They really did keep the things that worked from the other adaptations, and they are steadily removing the things that didn't. For this reason, the scenes on Cybertron, particularly the battle with Soundwave (i prefer for personal reasons) looked great and were exciting to watch. I remember thinking Cybertron used to look like a Marilyn Manson shot a music video from inside to dumpster. This is so much better.

Worst Scene: Blocking the Box

There's a scene in Bumblebee where Charlie's family decides the best way to save their daughter was to cause a pile up of vehicles in an intersection, and it's pure contrived writing that saved any character in that sequence from being killed in a horrific traffic accident. It was stupid, played for laughs, and it wasn't exciting as much as it was anxiety inducing. I also thought that there was no reason the covert military group covering up extraterrestrial life wouldn't just disappear this family of fucking morons in their little piece of shit car. The logic of the scene was just so childish like, "No they won't hit me, I'm a good person."

Summary

Bumblebee may be remembered fondly in a decade. I think especially if the Transformers franchise were to end here. It didn't get the publicity of the other films, and that really is a shame. For my money, this was the best Transformers movie so far. I was very tempted to give Bumblebee a C, it does just enough to right what was wrong from the other movies to make me appreciate all that work. This movie has heart, and if you are at all into Transformers then l think you should see it. It's still pretty stupid, and pretty basic. It's not offering anything new to the genre, and it feels like a commercial for more movies. I really wish we could just get movies that want to tell a story. I thought it over and decided that it wasn't fair not to grade Bumblebee on it's own merits. Bumblebee is substantially better than the films that preceded it, but that's not saying a lot, when the films that preceded it are joyless exercises in self abuse.

Overall Grade: D

#Transformers #Bumblebee #Optimus Prime #Action #Adventure #Car #Super Hero #Robot #Scifi #Grade D #D #Grade: D #2018 #2010s #(D)

MARE'S RECAPS ~ THE MANDALORIAN: CHAPTER 9 "THE MARSHALL"

Oh wow! It's been a while since I've done something like this. Last year, I caught up with season 1 about 2 days before the finale, so I didn't have the opportunity to write reviews/recaps. This season, though, I'm going to 😀 so here it is the first one!

For the folks that haven't seen the premiere and don't want spoilers, scroll past this, fast and furious, because it's full of them. If you want to blacklist tags to avoid spoilers from me, I suggest that you add #mando spoilers, #the mandalorian season 2 spoilers, and #mare's mando recaps to the list.

I've seen the episode a few times (yeah, I'm that obsessed with the show) so some of my reactions are more visceral than others since I was too excited the few first times I watched it and I missed a lot of details (another reason to rewatch the episode more than once). This recap is loooooong, which is an indication of how amazing it was.

So this my final warning to those avoiding spoilers. Stop reading, right now. The rest of you… enjoy and let me know if you share some of my opinions. I'm always open to chat 😊

Chapter 9 ~ The Marshall

So it begins! It's so exciting!

I knew that Mando and baby Yoda walking in the street at night was going to be the opening scene. I started to think about it after watching the second trailer, and I'm glad that I was right.

It turns out that the red-eyed creatures were not jawas as I saw some people saying.

Baby Yoda was not happy with the little excursion to the fighting arena. Not walking on the streets nor inside watching the fight. I still laughed when he locked himself up in the pram, even if I've watched the trailer like a gazillion times by now and I knew he was going to do it.

And talking about the baby, he's getting more vocal I think. He's making a few new noises, whimpering more, which I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. That he complains more means that he feels safe with his buir and isn't afraid of retaliation for it as he probably was with others in the past and the reason he didn't cry much in season 1. But it breaks my heart that he is stressed. And that child is anxious, I can tell you that much.

The fight with Gor Koresh's thugs was awesome! The gamorrean flying to squash Mando and failing had me cracking up. And omg! Din'd moves! Using his helmet as a weapon and throwing his vibroblade. And leaving Gor Koresh to be eaten! Man of his word, he didn't kill the guy.

On a side note, I would've never guessed it was John Leguizamo who gave voice to Koresh until I saw the credits. Of all the actors who could play the part, I never thought of him.

Umm, I'm curious about the time Mando has spent in Tatooine, which according to him it's been a lot and it makes sense since he knows so much about the Tuskens, their language and culture. I'm guessing he spent a while among them. He had to learn all that somehow.

When I speculated that Mando was going back to Tatooine after watching the trailers, I said that I was going to riot if he didn't visit his favorite mechanic. Thankfully, I didn't need to worry. I loved Peli in episode 5 of season 1 and I loved her even more now remarking on Din's dislike of droids and trying to keep the baby for herself. Not to mention she complaining about not getting good help these days 🤣

And I ADORE the (improvised?) Birikad Din got for the baby. Of course, the baby is safer in the pram, right (guessing that's why he used it when he met Gor Koresh), but there's something sweet watching him carrying his son so close to him.

And I tell you, Mando has been spending credits lately in baby stuff. I mean, he got a new pram (which I initially thought it was the original that he had somehow retrieved from the garbage in Nevarro, but no, it's not the same, and neither it's the one that Kuiil made) and he also got the bag/birikad thing, which looks brand-new. I wonder what else he bought.

Watching the droids doing maintenance of the Razor Crest makes me think it's all for nothing, knowing that in a few episodes (it might be even in the next one) Mando is going to crash the ship. More than once perhaps.

😆 The baby still loves speed! I think riding on the speeder bike was the only moment that he truly enjoyed in this episode. Look at that happy face

When they arrived at Mos Pelgo and Din went into the cantina, leaving the baby outside, I was like: Din! That's not responsible. How can you leave your son out in the inclement sun, alone! Then baby Yoda peeked in and I went: never mind. I take back what I said.

Oooh. Cobb Vanth! I love him! For a moment, I thought it could actually be Boba but it seemed illogical and that's what Mr. Feloni and Mr. Favreau wanted us to think. I was correct.

My gawd! Din's shock when Vanth took the helmet off. I just knew he would freak out the moment Cobb asked for drinks and I said to drink they need to remove their helmets and Mando is going to lose it when this guy does. And the standoff! Was so good! "Take it off or I will" is going to become a quite popular phrase in fics from now on, not in the same context, but yeah…

The krayt dragon… oh shit! Or rather Dank farrik! We can't see Mando's face or expression but I can imagine which one was when he saw the dragon eating the bantha the first time.

Oh my goodness. The baby hiding in the pot! Too adorable!

I know every hardcore SW fan lost it watching Vanth modified speeder because is a callback to the Phantom Menace and Anakin but my first thought was: is he compensating for something? Sorry, I couldn't help it

The dog-lizard creatures were kinda scary at first but then became adorable. Almost as much as baby Yoda getting out of hiding

Baby Yoda doesn't like dog-lizards things. He looked afraid to be eaten I think. Poor little guy.

And look at that! Din showing such growth! To think he was the one incensing others in negotiation 😆 this is a total callback to the jawas in Arvala-7. And I gotta tell you, Din freaking loves his flamethrower. He doesn't waste the opportunity to use it.

The krayt dragon eating the Tusken raider instead of the bantha was quite of a plot twist 😆

When they were planning the attack on the dragon, Cobb Vanth's face when Din told him that the bones and pebbles were to scale, and then when he had volunteered the villagers to help… priceless!

I like the fact of banding together with others for a greater good, relying on others to accomplish something is going to continue being the theme of this season. It started last season but I think it's going to be stronger this time around along all of the episodes.

😳😲😳😲 this thing vomits acid?! What. The. FUCK?!!!

Cobb: I don't think it's dead

Mando: me neither

Me, at the same time as Din: yeah, nope it's not dead

Oh yeah! Teaming up with jetpacks!

When they showed the bantha with the remaining explosives my first thought was why didn't they use all those before?! That's why they didn't kill it!! Of course, it was just an excuse to grant Din a more grand win in the end, but you know, it's stupid not to use everything you have to kill the monster on the first try. Just saying

Wait, what? Din! What are you going to do? No! Taking care of the child is your responsibility, not Cobb Vanth's! I hate this plan of yours, Din Djarin!! Whichever it is!

Oh! Nice callback to the flaw on that jetpack. But makes me wonder, do all the rising Phoenixes have the same flaw? Cuz unless Din knows Boba in person and that it's his armor with that particular flaw, it means it's a common problem for all and I don't like it.

Get away, Din! Get away, Din!! FLY AWAY!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH! NOOOOOO!

There he is! Damn, Mando! Don't scare me like that! Altho, it was a nice move.

Okay, but now I want someone to explain something to me. If the dragon's acid melted people at contact before, how the hell is Din so whole? I mean, sure for argument' sake let's say his beskar armor provides some protection, but he's not entirely covered in it. His cape and undersuit seem just fine, albeit sticky. Where's the logic in that?

The tuskens getting the pearl reminded me of the jawas and the mudhorn's egg, chanting zukka, zukka (or however egg is spelled in Jawa).

That's quite a piece of meat. The baby is going to be happy eating off it for days🤣

😮😮😳😳 BOBA FETT!!!!! Yesssssss!!

Okay, I've seen other people's thoughts and some think that Boba was after Cobb Vanth because he had the armor, but I don't know. If that was true then why he hadn't gone to Mos Pelgo and got it? It seems to me that it's more likely that Boba is following Din somehow because it's the second time in as many Mando's visits to the planet that they sort of cross paths. Could they know each other? Have some score to settle? It's possible. Din has spent much time on Tatooine -his words, not mine- so it wouldn't be so out of consideration that they actually know each other. That if Mando knows Boba is (fake?) Mando, I don't know. Probably not, but who knows?

Extra thoughts

I gotta say that Ludwig Göransson is killing it with the score music! Oh. My. God! So so so so good! I could tell from the trailers that it was going to be awesome this season but it astounded me in chapter 9. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! My favorite piece is when they're going to the dragon's cave to kill it. The orchestral sound of the already familiar music blew my mind!
