#i love the whole teen drama

[beanghostprincess]

Something something modern high school AU in which Sanji is a soccer player and Usopp is one of the cheerleaders with Nami. Sanji won't stop flirting with Nami, though, Usopp thinks he's extremely annoying and one of those popular guys™ (a lie btw he's a fucking loser). The only times they talk are when Sanji approaches the cheerleading team (ignoring the men) and when Usopp goes to talk to Luffy and Zoro because they're friends (they're also soccer players). But! But then they start seeing each other again. Usopp goes to school earlier always to paint because the sky is pretty and the soccer field is calm, and since they have meetings right before school and after, he just gets there earlier. Sanji starts coming earlier than anybody too to run and train and exercise for some reason Usopp doesn't understand because he has never done this before. He tries to ignore the blond but he must say it's pretty hard to do so when he's right there looking gorgeous and sweaty and with a slim artistic complexion Usopp loves. Long legs. Cool to draw. Anyway- Sanji surprisingly is the one to approach him one day because he has a rigorous diet for training now but since he's used to packing his usual food, he does it mindlessly again. He asks Usopp if he wants to eat it because "If you don't do it I will and I can't but I would rather kill myself than wasting food haha" and he says it jokingly but not really and Usopp thinks "fuck it, free food". So they start talking and talking and it turns out it's the best food he has ever tasted and Sanji has been the one to cook it. And he also is training because apparently he wants to impress his father so, damn, sad. One thing leads to another and this becomes a daily thing! They start getting along too! So much so that now he talks to the cheerleaders and Usopp. And he only brings food to Nami and him now. It's kind of nice.

-> Nami has her own side plot about her being in love with a girl from the band (Vivi). She just never tells Sanji she's a lesbian bc she brings her snacks and breakfast every day they have training together.

-> Luffy and Zoro are on the soccer team too and they're so fucking gay it's insane. Luffy is the captain bc somehow he's great at sports and Zoro is down bad.

Inspired by this post btw:

#i love the whole teen drama #then luffy throws a party because sabo and ace aren't home and it's literally just the 5 of them bc they're losers #and they might or might not play truth or dare because this is indeed a movie from the 2000s #and stuff happens #what stuff you ask? #i have no idea i haven't thought about that one yet #sanuso #one piece #black leg sanji #usopp

ive been sort of randomly rewatching Dr Who episodes based on my mood since the specials aired and man.. the Jack Harkness & Martha team ups were the fucking best ! just these two being heroes and bitching about The Doctor to his face while simultaneously being in love with him. tremendous fun really.

#season 3 and 4 are just *chef kiss* #also im gonna get murdered for this but I feel like we're all mature enough to exchange our opinions without drama anymore so ill say it : #Rose was both super fun and tragic but of all the first four seasons companions she's actually my least favourite now #I think it's bc the whole '19/20 year old girl gets the several centuries old guy's love' hits less once you stop being in your teens #I appreciate the ambiguity and tensions of the Jack and Martha dynamics more as well as the perfect (platonic) relationship with Donna #doctor who #martha jones #jack harkness

Thinking again about how big skam could've exploded If it ever made its way on to Netflix internationally

#skam #I'm sure it's to do with licensing and nrk and the fact that it was made specifically for norwegian teens and not the whole world #and i know skam it moved to netflix bht as far as i know its geo locked to italy? #i just wish my love for skam was more mainstream sometimes #and yes this is coming off of finishing young royals #like americans will watch dubbed dramas gice 👏 us 👏 the 👏good 👏 stuff 👏 #and not really a dig at young royals i have watched it all and liked it i just wish more people would watch my Scandinavian shows

Regarding the previous post, I think the way I approach trying to evaluate a piece of art is asking "Do I think the positive things I get out of it outweigh the parts of it that I don't like?" And when I call something a "guilty pleasure" song/show/book/piece of media/etc. it's really more in the sense of, "Given who I am as a person, the flaws I've found in this should be complete dealbreakers for me, but somehow they aren't, and it makes me feel like I'm having an identity crisis."

#like. I think something like...idk shiki or cxgf excels on multiple levels. I understand why I like them. given the things I look for in art #it makes sense that these shows would speak to me because they make the effort to showcase those things I look for. because the people #in charge of those works clearly valued the same kinds of things and cared about seriously exploring them. #but with something like. uh. ctrlz. that is NOT the case and I frequently found myself going 'why would anyone make this writing #decision?' but I still sat through all 3 seasons of it! I still really enjoyed it! those flaws SHOULD have made me give up according to #personal history but they never did. and I very very much genuinely question why. I have NO IDEA why I still care about this #silly convoluted teen drama show so much. but I do. I wrote SO MANY FUCKING POSTS ABOUT IT. #I really love wicked the musical. I've heard many people call it 'hokey' or 'cheesy' or 'objectively bad' but here's the thing! I DON'T #think it's bad!!! like literally at all!!!!!! and it does do some genuinely cool things in regard to the music and the way the characters #develop and what the show says about the nature of prejudice and human connection. is it like. idk Serious™ the way that something like #Parade is? no. but it doesn't have to be. it does what it sets out to do and it does it well and this is why the whole '''objective #evaluation''' thing doesn't actually mean anything. I value thoughtfully-constructed music and dynamic female characters #(which this musical has). I value stories that deal with the complex and messy feelings that come with being a human (which this musical #has). I value stories about 'other'ness and romantic subplots that aren't just built on 'This Girl Is Pretty' (which this musical has). #and I value professional displays of technical vocal ability because I know how fucking DIFFICULT that is (which this musical...if you cast #it well...has). #if you value something else in a musical then yeah you will probably think THIS one is '''objectively bad''' #if you don't see the point of musicals as an art form you will probably think wicked is '''objectively bad''' #do you see where the problem with categorizing analysis like this is??

As Steve scanned the back of the VHS box he read about the plot of the lesbian love affair that blossoms between the two women out west a plan formed in his mind, and that plan was to finally do his duty as a Man with a Heart a Soul and The Critical Social Skills Robin Buckley Lacks: He was going to get his best friend laid. Because that's what bros do.

guess what guys I might be hilarious

Pacey Witter and Seth Cohen are perfect examples of romantic boat men 🚢 in modern times.

Move over Giligan, Jack Dawson, Captian Jack Sparrow or Lonely Island and T'Pain, or even the boats and hoes prestige of Step brothers Brennan and Dale.

You heard the rest, go with the best. True love, Summer breeze, sipping Mai tais and vibin to yacht rock.

Robin fic snippet

Elle stopped three steps into the open space, racing heart briefly clenched with hope.   There was light she hadn’t left on.   A green glow, from the obscenely expensive coffee apparatus that had turned up on her doorstep courtesy of Bruce.   And then she saw the Gucci sneaker, one long slender leg sticking out from beneath her kitchen counter.   “What step of breaking in,” Elle asked, joining him on the floor, “Is making yourself coffee?”   Tim, mug resting on his sternum, folded against the island in a sprawl, opened bleary eyes. Took in Elle’s sleek jumpsuit, the wine bottle in her hand, flowers clinging crushed to her favorite platform boots. “Why’re you back?”   Elle huffed. “Why are you here?”   His eyes fell shut again. “My ex-girlfriends are unionizing.”   Elle, who’d reached over her head to navigate the nearest drawer, feeling for a corkscrew, stopped. Gave up and rose, fishing it out before bumping the whole mess closed again with her hip. The kitchen only looked organized- she was just barely moved in.   Loud, the noise of the cork seemed to echo, coffee scent immediately overwhelmed by deep, rich pomegranate.   “You want to repeat that?” Elle said, sliding back down.   Tim groaned. “Tam- you met Tam?” Elle nodded- the severe, lovely woman had complimented her lipstick. “Tam and Cassie are engaged.”   Elle took a sip from the bottle, briefly transported to a world of sugar and heat, like she could taste the ocean breeze. She blinked. Coughed. Fought genuine delight to pay attention to conversation. “Soulmates?”   His next groan was one of vague agreement.   By her third drink, then entire world felt gloriously red. Sun-soaked. Light on closed eyelids, gold edges to ruby relaxation. This was how Llewellyn’s bond to Dick manifested- it would have been easy to guess touch, seeing either of them together, but color was wonder. Freefall. It made all the sense in the world.   “Hitting the Themysciran wine a little hard?”   “Tim.”   Her tone made him actually look again, guilt already probably detectible. “Yeah?”   “If I ask you something, can it stay between us?”   Tim’s own smile seemed to surprise him, edged in a wince. “For a favor.” At her face, he added, just a little gleeful. “Let me off easy last time. You’re weirdly good natured, you know, considering who”-   Elle threw the corkscrew at his face.

#Tim you nightmare boy who I love #a Mess #Dick: I have a home! a soulmate! it is time for a PARTY WITH EVERYONE I KNOW AND LOVE- #Tim in the middle of his gremlin Era: I'm sorry? #hiding with the coats? in the bathroom? #HAH #He's hiding a whole building away #Elle is....also hiding #but mostly because she's having a hot amazons who want to chat about her soulmate crisis #just because there was a chart involved to explain all the Teen Titans Drama #she was not actually prepared for This #yes all of Tim's ex's are now lesbians #YES KON'S ONE EX IS ALSO A LESBIAN #fake ex? still also queer now #migration patterns of turdidae #I need everyone to know we are maximizing both chaos and angst

I think Bakugou and Izuku sit in a room with you to keep you company for MLP but end up forming strong opinions on the characters lol

Oh absolutely, and can you blame them?????? I honestly, truly believe you could get anyone that way because the show is just that....... nice.

(besides, they have a bunch of real violence going on in their lives... they need and deserve to watch sweet, calming things when they're home)

anyway, deku admits he likes watching the show w/ you after like ... 4 episodes, and bakugo.... probably never admits it LOL but gets invested instantly even if it does take three seasons for him to really settle down and actually watch with his eyes (instead of falling asleep)...

but i've thought about it already and:

bakugo likes rainbow dash and twilight the best, and he's problematic about it too bc a lot of the friendship lessons he doesn't agree with the solutions LMFAOOO and just wants them to succeed. also kind of a starlight hater bc he's holding a grudge... and i can't decide whether he'd like or hate fluttershy. either way would definitely beat discord's ass (applejack is his third favorite).

and deku likes all the ponies, but his faves are applejack and rarity... and he'd go to the ends of the earth defending her adfnakdjf. it's funny bc in the same vein, u can tell rainbow dash is his least fave, but he'd never actually say that out loud. he just gets pouty @ all her behavior. he's a starlight enjoyer tho and LOL a cadence and shining armor fan, too.... which is kinda... okay.

ANYWAY LOL idk if they'd go around talking about it to their friends, but you're so right. SO RIGHT. and also maybe this is just me, but i can imagine Bakugo wearing one of these as a joke:

#bakugo #deku #LMFAOOO 000000 #like i dont think even the most hateful person could say mlp is bad #maybe they don't like it but it's not as bad as ppl make it seem #anyway uhhhhhhhhhh i hope this is alright #i wouldnt force them to watch it but bakugo is always doing that thing where he stands behind u to see what ur looking at #on the tv or computer #and if it's a show he'll always end up watching the whole thing #even if he refuses to sit down #plus if ur both home. he refuses to go to bed without u so. if ur bedtime show is mlp #he's just there by extension #deku just wants to hang and he's a pushover so he'll agree to mlp #altho he also probs feels bad abt all the all might specials he's made u watch #LOL HE'S JUST HAPPEN IT'S NOT TEEN WOLF OR A DRAMA LMAO he hates those and gets jealous of ur attention #but uhhh #that's how it happens in my mind #me and bakugo would fight over watching rainbow dash epsiodes...... #not important #and lmao i still love the headcanon he has a bunch of terrible tshirts he wears on the weekend #ik thats supposed to be deku's gag but he's probably more picky abt what ends up in the collection #bakugo will wear stuff from hot topic without even reading the slogan #okay tho bye love u anon thanks for entertaining me #caitie things #anon #gen #mlp

[crimeronan]

i'm watching first kill and like...hard agree that Juliette's moral panic over killing someone is not relatable. sweet child, you are in savannah, you can't tell me there aren't some local racists or homophobes in your class!!! be an ally to yr girlfriend and weed out the local confederates, my gawd. meanwhile both family moms? milfs. love them. want them to enter a giant poly relationship in support of their gay daughters.

RIGHT?? i actually do think it's fun, like, Thematically for baby's teen rebellion to be refusing to murder people, it's pretty in line with queer experiences w/ toxic insane families (My Morality Is Not Yours, I'm Choosing Who I Am), etc.

and yet. at the same time. if i was a vampire raised with the understanding that eventually i'd need to kill people for my own survival. omg i'd have been working on my hit list for YEARS like yeah i wanna narrow down the ETHICS of my serial killing before the time comes, i wanna make sure we're doing this low environmental impact style, calculating my murder footprint, truly i cannot Believe juliette has never put thought into this!! girl it doesn't even have to be a classmate savannah's full of all kinds of shitty people to choose from!! or hell, branch out!! go get vi's (my partner's) former next door neighbors who flew a confederate flag out in the middle of rural fucking nowhere for no fucking reason except to be hateful shitheads IDGIIIIIIII

and then i can think all of this while also understanding that murder is (deep sigh) a fun fantasy that does not work as actual irl praxis. which i don't think i should Have to say but. yknow. the disk horse is what it is. we can contain multitudes

and also calliope fucking ROCKS for being like "i have never had any issue with the ethics of murder and i want to kill my classmate so so so so bad" and then immediately going thru with it no holds barred. YES girl THAT is the energy we need to bring to the studio we DO stan !!!!!

#calliope your murder target was perhaps misguided but u got the spirit and i LOVE you. that's my girl #first kill #replies #also to be clear: this is not real criticism #i'm not fussed about the morality of a teen vampire in a coming-of-age moment on a high camp teen drama #ESPECIALLY since her girlfriend loves murder so much #LOVE you calliope. you carry the whole series #murder #violence #racism m

[titansarmy]

i don't care what y’all ship but.......... just saw a rini say that the entire show was about ricky and nini getting back together and the pivotal moment was the “i love you” and how its basically shit that they don’t even exist anymore and I'm just like....... you ignored everything else about that season and the basis and possible arc of those characters didn’t you ???

#it was on tiktok btw i lost the actual tiktok so this is terribly paraphrased #rini is CUTE #dont get me wrong #they were cute i liked them #but !!!!!! everything about the end of the first season was very much 'yeah they're getting back together but they really shouldn't' #the i love you scene comes RIGHT AFTER ricky being told 'some people are just not meant to stay together' or whatever it is his mum tells hi #and also AFTER ricky says 'maybe im back to who i always was' #which is directly against his own character arc which is learn to accept change #and his mum telling him sometimes people break up is ACCEPT CHANGE #and nini's whole thing since s1 was learn to be alone as well #its cut short but her thing was kind of leading to that #and kourt tells her in s1e5 when she says that nini changed when she started seeing herself through boys eyes or something #so yeah both their arcs were about literally not being together #i feel like if olivia had stayed on the show and the show was much longer than it seems its going to be (im thinking 6ish seasons) #MAYBE just maybe rini would have been endgame. but this is after them breaking upin s2 anyways and giving them two full seasons apart to #finish their arcs #and then and only then a slow rekindling and rebuild of their lost relationship #and they would literally not get together until the episode before the last #very early late 90s early 00s teen drama style u know

[bravewolfvesperia]

/ Since I mention in my pinned post that this blog has some changes from canon, I'm going to make a rundown post that I'll be linking in my muse info on my blog. My timeline post covers some of this too and has other things canon to my muse that aren't here because they're timeline based and not direct changes based. I'll update this as needed.

Repede had another owner before Yuri got him in the game. I'm combining this with FS. Thus, Repede would have been basically an infant when he and Lambert ended up with the knights. From there he took to Yuri as he did in the FS drama CD so Yuri was primarily in charge of Repede during his stay with the knights, but he and Flynn raised Repede together as is in line with the game. This means they continued raising him together even after Yuri left.

In the JP version of the game, Yuri says he was with the knights for a short time but doesn't specify how long that time was, so I'm completely yeeting the "three months" dub aspect from this blog. I can't reasonably assume he signed up, took the exams, went into training, went from errand boy to battle status, then went on normal missions and left in the span of three months. So as usual, we're following the JP timeline. Generally anything the dub makes up or actively changes from the original context/tone gets yeeted here.

In the FS drama CD, Flynn is extremely repetitive about Yuri quitting the knights and with his nagging. At least with @mistralxsoul and anyone else who prefers it the following way in threads with my muse, we're toning it down because it just feels absolutely batshit to us how bad it is in the drama CD (it's worse than even the movie itself).

Since the timeline for Yuri and Flynn's knighthood conflicts super horrendously between the novel, FS/FS drama CD and the game, I'm mixing all of it together (primarily because I consider the novel more canon than the FS drama CD). Basically (for my muse), they signed their names and didn't take the exams immediately, but when they eventually did it was at least a couple years later, due to Yuri still having his teen appearance when he signed his name to join in the novel. This is because otherwise, if I average my muse's teen age out to be fifteen/sixteen and his age to be about eighteen/nineteen in the knights, it would mean he'd been with the knights (including training, etc) anywhere from 2-4 years if his sign up was immediately after the novel's events. If they were to sign up and join immediately after the novel timeline, it also makes even less sense because Flynn's attitude in FS and his relationship with Yuri (and remember, the FS drama CD comes before the movie's timeline and Flynn was even worse about Yuri's attitude in the CD) would seem like it literally 180'd overnight.

So basically, to avoid all this insanity, a short summarized timeline for my muse would be: they signed up but didn't join right away, Flynn moved away and was gone for a couple years or so after the events of the novel, both of them changed in personality/behavior drastically in that time, they met up at the exams, they went into training, they got sent to Niren's squad, they were more errand boys than actual knights when they were still super fresh newbies and Yuri was extremely annoyed with that, they were actual knights for a while (I'm going to say Yuri was a knight for at least six months or more, especially if I consider the trajectory of Flynn's behavior toward him in the drama CD through the end of FS), the events of FS were not one straight timeline and things happened between the days etc etc, then Yuri left.

Following the game's drama CDs, Yuri hesitated a lot more when Flynn was injured at Zaude. If not for Flynn nudging him to go after Alexei even while wounded, Yuri wouldn't have left him there.

Following the same drama CDs, it's Raven and Repede who find and look after Yuri when he wakes up after Zaude. That is to say, Repede was already with Raven and lunged when he sniffed out Yuri in his room (super doggo powers). Raven followed Repede in a panic, who ran to Yuri's room upon realizing Yuri was there, and Raven finds Yuri awake but right in the middle of passing back out (the sound is basically Raven's voice being distant with some ringing, so it's from Yuri's point of view that Raven is trying to get him to steady himself but he passes back out). Raven takes care of him from there until he's recovered properly enough to go back. In this time, Rita did investigating and eventually, with the others minus Raven, went to Zopheir after deciding they couldn't dawdle and just wait in their grief. While they're there, Yuri and Raven have headed out after them and show up together and reunite with the rest of the group. Raven has already been updated on what Yuri knows from Duke at this point (Duke saved him as usual, but the drama CD changes come in after that), so the two of them update everyone else.

In the game, there's a skit with Yuri, Flynn and Karol where Yuri mentions "playing in a river", but in the novel, they were actually getting water at the river and the other kids were playing in the river when they got attacked by a monster, fell into the river (Yuri also mentions (I thiiiink in another unrelated skit) that just falling into "a river" was enough to panic him), and Flynn grabbed onto a merman. For my muse, I'm just going with Yuri simplifying the situation to Karol while keeping the novel's event as my muse's canon.

#{ muse info + headcanons } #/ a lot of the timeline post itself is also for me and not y'all LOL but like. if you need to know #differences in interaction with me this stuff is good to know at least bc I don't strictly follow the game canon #I follow a mix of official content and obviously some of it overlaps and retcons other things #as for the dub if you've been here long enough y'all know I hold a huge ass grudge against #how much it changes Yuri's behavior/personality and his attitude toward Flynn #but the three months thing just does not feel reasonable to me on top of the dub just making it up #and it helps SO much to have that free time period for writing #even if we assume he wasn't counting the training to officially join the knights in the dub #three months is... way too short imo and then if I combine the FS drama CD with that #it makes even less sense bc the girls tried to get Yuri to stay when he did actually almost quit #on top of the whole not rly doing knightly things for a while at first #and yeahhhh it's just a fucking MESS to try to cram everything with all this content into three months #also like since I LOOOOVE the teen arc of the novel and that's My Fucking Baby Boy #I don't want to actually change anything from it so I'm just mixing everything together to keep it all #it's like... I love all the official Yuri content and so I want to keep as much of it together as possible #but since it's not always the same people working on the content or bc there's such a time gap between content #things aren't always consistent and when it comes to writing a muse I just. NEED timeline consistency #even if I have to make it myself LMAO. I try to keep as much of the game stuff together as possible #since I know most ppl interacting with me only know the game and possibly the movie #and not all the drama CDs and all the various JP exclusive content #but it's hard to keep it together perfectly when there's so much other content I'm using that has formed my muse #like... my muse exists the way he is bc of all this content you know? and only using the game #would change him a fucking lot in hindsight with the way he thinks and reacts and such #like... there's no fucking way he's not traumatized after the events of the novel in the teen arc there's NO fucking way #it was bad enough that it nearly pushed him to murder when he was a teenager #and he might have actually done it if his foster mother didn't stop him (and end up doing it herself) #so yeah I mean... I do my best to keep him within game context with most people I interact with #but the more you interact with this boy the deeper you're gonna get into muse specific lore lol

Okay, genuinely, if you need some queer joy in your life and you haven’t watched it already, watch Yuri on Ice. Even if you aren’t usually into anime! Even if you don’t know shit about figure skating! Yeah, I know it’s seven years old now, but it still holds up! It’s just a genuinely wholesome, fun piece of queer media full of lovable characters, excellent music, and a world almost identical to our own except there’s no homophobia. Not a bit! Everyone is chill about folks being gnc too! There’s a scene where a guy talks about exploring his femininity and no one has any issue with it, not even the teen who loves to shit talk him!

I was also bracing myself for being queerbaited in the first half because it’s a sports anime and that’s just how this goes, but nope! It’s GAY gay. It’s a romance! It’s sweet and heartfelt and lovely!

There’s drama, but none of it has anything to do with the characters being gay. There is no villain. Hell, there’s not an unlikable character among the whole cast! There’s a cranky, shouty coach, but he deeply cares about his kids. There’s a little edgelord teenager, but he’s 15 and is treated accordingly by the story and characters. There’s one guy who’s a cocky bastard, but he’s not a bad person and gets some great character development later on. The biggest conflict is caused by, as usual, gay people not knowing how to communicate, but everything ends happily.

AND it’s got one of the best plot twists I’ve ever seen in anything.

Also there’s a scene at the end that’s one of the most romantic things I ever seen and I’m not exaggerating a bit. Seven years later and it still melts my heart.

I remember Con O’Neill talking about OFMD and calling it kind, and that’s how I feel about this show too. It’s kind.

Go watch it. Get the opening song stuck in your head. Watch two unhappy, lonely men fall in love while expressing their feelings through figure skating. ITS GREAT.

#yuri on ice #yoi #i needed to distract myself from worrying about the season finale of my other queer joy show

[fangirlfreak08]

The whole way that young royals started with defying expectations of typical teen drama shows by just showing us young actors with acne compared to young royals ending by showing us the class divide and how people deal with privileges and how privileged people get away with awful things which we’d kind of already seen but it went into a lot more detail. The way that they addressed the fucked up culture that’s always been seen as normal in young royals. How they addressed the micro aggressions Felice has been facing since the beginning, how they addressed Augusts eating disorder and had that one shot of his face after it was called out? How the entire show -whilst to its core being a show about love-shows all the fucked yo relationships between siblings and parents -and actually has kids call out their parents not just vice versa-as well as the way relationships can change when someone’s grieving the other. How they showed that you can never truly know somebody because they can act differently in different places. I just have a lot of feelings about how Young Royals explicitly does a lot of things that we don’t normally see in television

#it’s the last season guys I’m feeling emotional #young royals
