HELLOOOO!!! I love your blog sm 💔💔💔 do you think you could do post argument with sev :(( I love her sm

Thanks so much!! :]

Let's see here...

---

Arguments with Sevika don't happen very often, but when they do, flashes of her bad side come out. She doesn't open up easily, never has. You tend to need to pry her shell apart to get to the meat of the problem.

One such argument was the catalyst to learning about her in a way you never expected.

When you stole a glance over at Sevika, she sat with her head buried in her hands. Her bronze claws split her hair into locks. Distressed was an understatement but a fair assessment of her had a stranger sauntered into the room to survey the scene. A splatter of wood chips painted the floor. Broken coffee table, crouched on one leg. Defeated. The argument was hard to expel from your memory. The film rewound itself in your head again and again, oak snapping each time. Adrenaline ran high, and in your seat at the opposite end of the sofa, you mentally gathered all the bits of your composure that fell with the wooden gibs. Still, you didn't want to move. Couldn't move. Not until— "'M sorry." You turned to Sevika. "What?" Finally, she peeked out of her hands for eye contact. "I'm sorry." She sounded... deflated. Demoralized. Remorseful. And you knew her long enough to understand she never sounded any less than self-assured. Ever. As another half hour passed, you'd gathered the courage to inch closer to her. Reached out. It took a minute to coax her out of her guard but she let up and you climbed into her lap. "You... you know I'd never hurt you," she stated. Your response caught in your throat. You knew what she said to be true, but in that moment, acknowledging that was... difficult. You clutched at her black tank top. Her heart thumped quickly under your ear. "I am... I get—fuck." She was being careful with her words. You appreciated that. With a deep sigh, she continued. "I... never told you before, but. I have... I have a problem. A big one. I didn't want to tell you because I thought I had it under control. Jus' been stressed as hell lately. Zaun's been goin' to shit more than usual. Enforcers breathin' down our necks." Her hands shook at her sides on the sofa. She flexed them twice, trying to reign them back under control. "A lot of shit. A lot of awful shit's been happening. I'm trying to do everything I can to keep you safe. Not... trying to tell you what to do or control you or anything. Not an excuse either. Just...explaining." You swallowed. Her voice lowered. "I promise I'm... I'm not a monster..." Fuck. Fuuuck. Your eyes burned. "Sevika?" She straighted. Was listening. "I don't think you're a monster. I've never thought that about you. You've been nothing but kind to me ever since we met. I just..." You paused, racking your brain for the right words. The situation was delicate. There was no more risk of an argument, but the aftermath still left you rattled. "I need time to process this. Okay? I really need time." "Are you afraid of me?" The question shanked you in the side. You squeezed her shirt tighter to compensate. "I don't know. A little, I guess." Sevika let out a sigh that could have been mistaken for a growl. But you knew it wasn't aimed at you. "I know that's not what you want to hear, but it's the truth. I need time." Sevika nodded. "I understand." You reached for her bronze arm first, caressed along the shimmering metal 'til you landed in her large palm. The urge to reciprocate was evident in the twitch of her claws. But she didn't. You traced her palm with a finger. The scene played back in your mind's eye again. Her arm was as much a weapon as a prosthesis, you knew that, but seeing it crush treated oak like a flimsy matchstick up close? After she'd always been so careful and gentle? You felt conflicted. Even so... You laced her claws and squeezed once, then pulled her arm up to wrap across your back. "Babe..." Sevika started, resisting. You tutted her quiet. Insisted. Wanted to remind yourself of the tenderness and warmth of being held. She relented. Her claws settled at your ribs, and for the first time since your argument, tension left your body.

[ruified]

i just finished osamu dazai’s entrance exam and it was SO GOOD??????? in no way did the anime do it an ounce of justice

anyways, just like last time, here are some quotes and my thoughts

i love love love the way we get to really explore kunikida and dazai’s dynamic as partners in this light novel, it really helps the reader understand how they work together so well

"I'm impressed, Kunikida. Nothing gets by you, does it? Incredible." His smile is cold, inhuman. "I'm so glad you were my partner."

"What do you want?! Why did you threaten the detective agency?! What was the point of killing the missing people and setting the bomb?! You... You were..."

You were so talented.

I couldn't have asked for a better partner.

they drive me crazy i love them so much </3 in this scene kunikida is questioning dazai and threatening his life on the suspicions of dazai being the azure apostle, it’s the way that even though they had only spent so little time working together that they both felt they were good partners

i love how in the ln it’s actively a mystery for those who don’t know what’s going on, even as someone who watched the anime, dazai being setup was pretty convincing

the speech given at the end of it all by dazai to kunikida on the risks of following one’s ideals also carries a bigger impact than what was provided in the anime, it makes more sense

the way that sasaki is also a genuine love interest of kunikida’s is also so heart wrenching, her last words really just hit hard

here’s something i found so sweet

"Hello, little one. Can you hear me?" Dazai takes over the call.

"We here are airplane experts. There's nothing to worry about anymore. We're going to fix the plane. What's your name, little miss?"

"Ch-Chiyo..."

"Chiyo, everything's going to be okay. Got any snacks with you?"

"Mommy gave me this piece of candy..."

"Candy, huh? I love candy, too. It's so sweet, and it really helps you relax, doesn't it?"

"Dazai—"

"I've got this... Chiyo, first, I want you to really take your time enjoying that piece of candy. After that, I'm going to need you to take that device you're talking into and bring it to the captain's room. Do you know where the captain's room is?" Chiyo nods, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Don't worry. There's nobody screaming in there, and I bet your mommy will be feeling better in no time."

"B-but I... I can't go alone. I can't leave Mommy behind..."

"Your mommy's gonna be just fine. The pilot will make things all better. So I'm going to need you to take that device to their room and give it to them, okay?"

"Well, this is just no good. I'm quite weak, you see. A big guy like yourself would snap me right in two... But I promised Chiyo I would save her."

THE WAY HE TALKS TO THE LITTLE GIRL WARMS MY HEART AND MAKES IT ACHE AT THE SAME TIME HE HANDLES IT SO WELL AND THE WAY HE WANTS TO KEEP HIS PROMISE UEUEUE

I tear the stitches off my hip pocket and pull out a sheet of paper.

"...I always have a spare page with me for emergencies."

I unfold the paper and write with my own blood.

"The Matchless Poet: Release Key!"

here’s kunikida just being cool i love him sm i love my wife

here’s some silly ones

"It's this incredibly rare book called The Complete Suicide. I've been searching all over for it, and I just noticed it on display in the used bookstore back there — Ah! I have to go back and buy it before someone else does."

Nobody asked.

"Tsk... Guess I'll just have to come up with another way to use you as bait. I bet the criminal targets tourists. All right, Kunikida, slip on your rubber boots, throw on your backpack, put on your red-and-green-striped shirt, and start walking the town in your knickerbockers. Make sure to bring a giant camera with you to take pictures of everyone who walks by and say 'eh' at the end of every sentence."

"Like hell I will!"

""Like hell I will, eh!'"

"You call that a strategy? That's a terri-"

"A terrible idea, eh?'"

"Stop guessing what I'm going to say!"

"Hmm? In that case, how about you get naked, put on a top

you like?"

hat, and ride around on a unicycle screaming what kind of girls

"We're not even talking about the same thing anymore!"

all in all i highly suggest you read osamu dazai’s entrance exam i promise it is so worth it <3

[its-tea-time-darling]

things i did NOT like about shadow and bone (netflix):

the darkling looks Old. he's supposed to look the same age as all the other main protagonists. this highlights alina's future of staying the same & young where everyone around her dies. it also blurs the line between good and evil more bc 'oh he's the older bad guy' is just such an easy solve. also while ben barnes is a snack imo the darkling was supposed to have a more alluring, youthful magnetism.

making genya's scars barely a few scratches. she's supposed to objectively have lost her former self perfected beauty!!! this is a thing!!! she doesn't just have some deep scars, she's supposed to look hideous at first sight, where is show adaptation teams' courage to show characters that are supposed to be mutilated as just that???? i promise audiences can survive on literally everyone else on the cast being very stereotypically pretty/handsome 🙄🙄🙄🙄

changing wesper's storyline so that they had a one night stand before canon sets in??? what kind of bullshit is that??? fucking robbing me of the "just girls?" -"not just girls" gay ANgST will they won't they, does jesper like him too, will they ever - BAM. KISS. !!!!!!! succession??? making wylan cute and awkward does NOT compensate their book storyline At All what were those show writers thinking??? 😭😭

this one i will forgive but i still rly liked it in the books so im a tad sad they didn't manage to include it: that alina has a time where she thinks she is morozova's second daughter's descendant. in many respects she has learned she is Special, and the shame she feels when she realizes this isn't another one of these cases, this isn't a way to finally show her A Path, that in this respect she is ordinary and mal is tied to fate that way, that's just such a good touch.

malina going seperate ways. what happened to "they had an ordinary life full of ordinary things--if love can ever be called that."????? "choice is true north" my ASS 😤😤😤😤 malina have always been in love and will always be in love idc abt the firebird amplifier thing that was just sth they had to do they've always been people and they've always loved each other there is no way around it

things i DID like about shadow and bone (netflix)

david and genya. specifically the delivery of the lines "I … I don’t understand half of what goes on around me. I don’t get jokes or sunsets or poetry, but I know metal. Beauty was your armor. Fragile stuff, all show. But what’s inside you? That’s steel. It’s brave and unbreakable. And it doesn’t need fixing. You don't need fixing."

genya telling the queen how she poisoned the king, and genya spitting at nikolai how his apologies are of no use and that he needs to prove a better king. generally just genya. 💞

nikolai sending his mother away + what he says to her.

all the malina flashbacks to the meadow <33

malina last night together 😳😳 they love each other sm!!!!!

the scene at morozova's home. baghra sharing her past, all the reveals happening there, and of course the darkling weeping over his mother's body. "know that i loved you. know that it wasn't enough." like OkAY.

sankta neyar's speech. so deeply touching, and doesn't just apply to immortals but to all of us who have been hurt and suffered loss before.

the darkling begging alina to let him be her monster. A+ delivery.

"How will you have me? Fully clothed, gloves on, your head turned away so our lips can never touch? I will have you without armour, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all." generally the entirety of kanej in this show. inej's hallucination. the mirroring to the last scene. breathtaking showstopping flawless.

little rabbit.

[iliaclwrites]

Lemme know if this is out of character lol I’m in love with your cheerleader/reader series 🫶🏽 but I was wondering if you would be willing to write something about them getting into an serious argument and are giving each other the silent treatment? Like maybe hellfire gets fed up with how they’re both acting since it’s affecting their campaigns (somehow) and so maybe they lock both of them in the room together to work it out and barricade the door so they cant get out? lol if you write this then thank you sm in advance and if not then I completely understand 😊🫶🏽

this got so long wtf lmao.

warnings: fighting, swearing, angsty-ish? not really lmao it's fluff

Mike screeched to a halt into Hellfire, almost slamming into the table. "Sorry I'm--" His voice died in his throat, staring at the scene. Dustin, Lucas, Jeff and Gareth were sitting on the floor, rolling dice into a mat dully and reading, while Eddie and you were huddled behind the screen, whispering furtively, as though no one else was there. "They're still fighting? How long've they been like this?"

"As in the rest of this week, or just today?" Lucas asked flatly, looking up at Mike. "They've been fighting since I got here."

"Since lunch," Gareth corrected.

"Since Monday," Dustin complained, dropping his head into his knees. "Do they ever take a break? How do they eat?"

Lucas leaned back on his palms, staring up at the ceiling. "He was fighting with her before and after cheer," he muttered. "I saw him waiting on the bleachers. They argued in sign language." He mimed something with his hands, and Dustin swallowed a laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. "Like, what the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"Oh, so I'm the unreasonable one?" you snapped, standing up to put your hands on your hips. "This is all my fault, then? Sure, Eddie. Real mature."

"You're the one playing the blame game," he countered, wagging a finger at her. "Don't go all 'woe is me,' you knew what you signed up for when you started dating me."

"Yeah!" you huffed. "Dating! Participle gerundive form! Active! As in, something I am doing!"

("Wait, lemme get this down," Dustin muttered. "We're doing participles in Latin. Did she say gerundive or ablative?")

"Oh, don't get all grammar on me, princess," Eddie hissed. "You know it's suicide for me if I go with you."

"Right!" Mike yelled, and your heads snapped up at him. "Okay. I'm sick of this. We're sick of this." He looked behind him at everyone else, who were nodding quickly. "Can you guys please sort this shit out so we can get on with living our lives?"

"Without yelling," Dustin added.

"Or threats?" Gareth said.

"Or passing notes between you two on the days you refuse to talk?" Lucas said.

"Dude, they made you do that?" Jeff asked, and Lucas sighed, nodding. "Real mature."

"You two," Mike continued, pointing at both of you. "Are not coming out of this room until you get this all sorted." He put his hands on his hips, seemingly possessed by the spirit of his older sister Nancy. "Either kiss and make up, or starve to death in Hellfire. Come on," he said to everyone else. "Barricade the door."

Eddie's mouth opened and closed, fishlike, as the kids stormed out of the room. Outside, Dustin and Lucas slammed themselves against the door, pressing their ears to it as Mike peered through the keyhole.

"I didn't realise it was getting that bad," you said weakly, moving to sit on the table. Eddie pursed his lips, not looking at you. "They probably think mommy and daddy are divorcing."

He sighed. "I don't understand why you care so much," he admitted quietly. "It's just a stupid dress up party. With stupid popular kids. Chrissy's gonna win prom queen, Jason's gonna win prom king, I'll get blamed for spiking the punch. It's boring highschool bullshit."

You glared at him. "It's my boring highschool bullshit," you snapped. "It's my prom. They're my friends. I want to go."

"Then go!" Eddie said, sweeping his hands. "I'm not stopping you. It's just stupid fucking promnight."

("God," Dustin muttered. "Eddie really sucks at this."

"I'm on his side," Mike murmured back. "He shouldn't have to go to prom if he doesn't want to."

"Wait," Gareth said, pressing his ear to the door. "They're fighting about prom? That's it? I thought he'd murdered someone, or something.")

"I want to go with my boyfriend," you hissed, pressing a finger into his chest. "You're my boyfriend, and I want my boyfriend to be at my 'stupid fucking prom night'!"

He barked a laugh. "What, with the corsage, and the matching tie, and pulling up in a rusty ol' van, and some girl crying in the bathroom, and your mom forcing us to take photos? No tha--" Eddie stopped, watching as you blushed under his gaze. "Holy shit. You actually want that, don't you?"

"Sue me!" you cried, not meeting his eyes. "Yes! I want you to pull up in your stupid van, and I want to get spun around with you to, I don't know, Duran Duran, and I want Chrissy to take a group photo with us on her new Polaroid, and I want you to step on my feet while we're dancing. Is that wrong? Is that stupid?"

Eddie swallowed thickly. "And we'll get drunk on the punch that I definitely didn't spike," he added softly. "And I'll get a matching corsage for you."

You smiled, pressing your hand to his cheek. "And we'll blow it all off halfway to smoke behind the bikeshed," you murmured, smiling up at him hopefully. "Come on, Eds. That doesn't sound so bad, does it?"

He sighed. "Princess, it'd be social suicide for you," he said, tucking a hank of your hair behind your ear. "Your friends hate me enough as it is. I don't wanna give them more reasons to push you away, alright? I've seen how they fight with you. About me."

You rolled your eyes. "They're stupid," you said drily. "I don't care. All I care about is my boyfriend watching me walk down the staircase of my house--"

"You live in a one-storey."

"And going, whoa, when he sees me in my prom dress for the first time. Maybe even a choked up, 'you look nice!', or something."

"You watch way too many John Hughes movies," he snorted, pressing a kiss to your hair. "Do I have to wear a suit?"

"Please."

He chewed on his lower lip. "...And you'll be in a dress?"

"The prettiest."

"And no one is gonna say anything that the top flyer is dancing with Eddie the Freak?"

You took one of his hands in your good one, pressing your mouth to the warm metal of his ring. "If they do, I won't hear it. And if they say anything, anything at all," she added darkly, "they'll see just how much training I put into my high kicks."

He smiled, pressing his face into your hair, before growing sombre. "I don't like the fact they treat you badly because of me."

You shrugged. "Then you're gonna have to get used to it, Munson. I'm sticking around." You pursed your lips at him, closing your eyes. "Make up kiss? Pwease?"

He laughed, and pressed his mouth to yours for the first time this week, groaning at the contact. Your good arm flew around his head, pulling him between your legs as you made up for lost time. You hissed as he nudged your bad wrist, and he stroked your cheek as an apology, refusing to pull away.

"Eddie!" you gasped, arching in surprise as he hauled your body closer to him, pressing you right up against his chest as he planted both hands either side of you, caging you in. "God, fuck, I missed this," you mumbled, hooking your legs around his waist as he dug his teeth into your neck, biting down. "Shit, god, fuck, please."

"Right!" Mike said, slamming the door open, face bright red. "Glad that's all sorted out then. Glad you two could. Uh. Kiss and make up."

You laughed weakly, resting your head against Eddie's chest, and flipped them off in tandem.

[headkiss]

Hey! I’m not sure if this is too specific of a request or not but i saw you were taking requests so decided to shoot my shot? So it's a steve x reader imagine where they have defeated vecna and all. And reader was the one in place of max who got in the coma but now she's awake. But she can feel steve pulling away from her after everything. And one day she just gets fed up and asks him why is he doing this to them and my brain keeps imagining that scene in greys anatomy where Alex is yelling at Izzy that “you freakin died in my arms…I’m scared to move, I’m scared to breath, I’m scared to touch you”

you of course don't have to do it if you don't want toooo! and you can also take as much creative liberty as you want to if you do decide to do it 😀

anyway i love your writing sm, it brings me a lot of joy! thank youuuu ♥️

hiii as a greys fan myself i sort of had to write this and i hope i did it well!! thank you so much for requesting and being so nice | 0.9k words angst to fluff (?) i think!

Things have been different ever since you woke up. Ever since Vecna cursed you and put you in a coma, since your friends defeated him and El somehow saved your life.

It was terrifying, and the amount of time that passed while you were unconscious was disorienting. For you and everyone else.

It was difficult for all of you, the trauma and the fear that remained. The idea that you could’ve died. You could barely grasp it.

You can’t imagine what it was like for Steve, for the boy who loved you and you loved right back. You have no idea what you would’ve done had the roles been reversed, how you would have coped not knowing if he’d wake up or not.

You knew that he came to visit you at least once a day, and would even sleep in a cot next to you sometimes. It makes your heart ache.

It made sense for him to be extra careful with you for the first couple of weeks. He would help you stand, help you move around. He wouldn’t leave your side.

Now, however, a couple of months of healing and physical therapy down, you wished he would treat you normally again. Everyone was still so wary around you and you knew why, you just wanted someone to make you feel like yourself. You wanted Steve to do that.

You were still the same person, just with thick glasses and less flexible limbs, but still you.

You don’t remember the last time he kissed you somewhere that wasn’t your forehead or hand or cheek. The last time he actually kissed you.

It’s like he’s pulling away without meaning to, drifting further from what you were.

You’re on his couch watching a movie, cuddled close and holding hands. Even pressed together, there’s a distance between you and you can feel it.

You shift to kiss his neck, just soft pecks up to his jaw. He turns his face when you get close, kissing you. Finally. It’s nothing extreme, no tongue or anything, but it’s something.

When you try to deepen it, he pulls away. “Baby.”

“What’s wrong, Steve?”

“Nothing,” he runs a hand through his hair, like he’s stressed. “Can we just watch the movie?”

“No.” You sit up fully to face him, “we need to talk about this.”

“About what?”

“Steve, come on. Ever since I woke up you won’t kiss me, you’ll barely even touch me.”

His heart is pounding because he knows you’re right but he’s scared. He’s terrified that you’ll be ripped away from him again and he can’t get it out of his head. It haunts him every day.

“I kiss you.”

“You know what I mean. I know it was scary, Steve. I know. But I’m right here, and I need you to be, too.”

He has to be honest, he knows that, but he feels guilty feeling this way when you’re the one who died.

“You died. You died in my arms and I watched it happen. I couldn’t save you… I couldn't do anything. I was so scared, and I know that you were too, but you don’t know what it was like for me.”

You understand where he’s coming from, and it brings tears to your eyes to think about what kind of state he was in. Only, you’re okay now, and he needs to understand that.

“Listen to me. I know you were afraid and alone but I’m here now,” you take his hand and place it on your cheek, yours holding it there. “I’m alive and with you.”

“You’re not, though!” He doesn’t mean to be so loud, or to get frustrated but he can’t help it. “You can barely see without those glasses and I see you wince all the time. You’re not the same, neither of us are. I’m scared to move, I’m scared to breathe. I’m terrified that I’ll do something that hurts you.”

You’re crying now, you both are.

“Steve. What hurts me is how you’re treating me like something breakable. I’m safe. We’re safe.”

He swipes his thumb over your cheek, you reach out and do the same to his. Things won’t be solved so quickly, both of you know that, but it’s a start.

“I know. I know that, I do, I’m just so scared.”

You move his hand to press over your heart, letting him feel it beat. He takes in a shaky breath, like it’s really helping him. You’re alive and that’s what’s important, he’s aware of it. He thinks he’ll make a new habit of listening to your heartbeat.

He leans his forehead against yours. “I’ll try to be better. I’m sorry for being distant.”

“You’re already amazing, Steve. You take care of me and I love you so much for it. I just want you to see that everything’s gonna be fine.”

He kisses you, one, two, three quick pecks that might not be much, but the contact grounds you both. It’s what you’ve been needing for so long.

“I love you too, baby. Can't imagine my life without you.”

“You don’t have to anymore. I’m here, and I’m staying.”

He’s impossibly grateful that you’re his, that you survived despite the odds. He’s grateful that you spoke up because he didn’t realize how much he needed to let it out until you did.

He’s eternally grateful that you love him.

Curiosity here: {Discussion}

If you could re-write Jasper but keep 2 things about him, what would you keep? Besides appearance and gift! How would you explore this new version of Jasper?

For me, I'd keep his army past and Alice. But I'd explore how he changes over time and comes to realize how bad being on the Confederate side & being racist is. (I think you get it I'm trying to keep this short.)

Such as what makes him change and how he copes with his new understanding, and y'know the whole process of that.

Ofc, she comes into play too, maybe she's the catalyst that gets him to thinkin' about the topic at the surface, but it eventually goes deeper as she overtime explains things to him, and he thinks further on his own. IDK BRO I'm just thinking and wanted to read what you'd do. {Have a discussion.}

I'd change him shacking up w/ the Cullens though...or maybe their relationships with each other. I'd love to explore everything basically around canon while still being divergent to an extent. (Canon Related?)

He'd be the main character, but I think you already knew that if you read or at least skimmed this. But I have a terrible fear of people misunderstanding me. (⊙﹏⊙)

But yeah, I was just curious! I know a lot of people have done all sorts of things with him in Fics regarding his past and such, but I do always enjoy reading your responses to things.

This is just a purely hypothetical discussion. {If this was ever made that would be ambitious as hell cause like mf is like... 150 years old!}

I don't even want to think about all that time, and they never sleep either so like holy hell. So many moments of introspection and guilt and etc. to write I'd have a mental collapse. {But that's me when I write anything but also editing sucks ass.}

But not to mention ofc the huge amounts of research everything would take, and I am a huge perfectionist.

-Sincerely a mutual who tried to ask a few questions then freaked out over my own questions.

I'm making this anon now because I fear this ask now.

I think we have the same idea dear mutual!

(this is so fucking long omg I went off the rails, let me know what y'all think.)

I wouldn't rewrite anything, I'll just play it differently, I'll give it a nice depth.

I've always been on the side that just rewrite or ignore Jasper's confederate past is- not ideal. Yeah it's okay for a silly little comfort fic with your favorite vampire but not when talking about his actual canon characterization.

I would keep him serving for the Confederate army. I know a lot of people don't like that about him, but, I think it's a huge part of his character but there was something lacking there.

And what was missing is guilt.

Jasper, as to how he is written, and how we see the scenes of his past are played on both the book and the movie makes him look like he wasn't ashamed of his racist past or that he was even still prideful for it.

And it's so weird for me, how could this man who spent a century long depression, a self described "monster" a "nightmare" that just floods with self loathing couldn't feel guilty for not only taking someone's life but their freedom?

How could he feel guilty over killing the newborns but not black people? It doesn't make sense and it makes it worse, it makes you think that he, in modern times, it's still a confederate and also because vampires are "mentally frozen." He's not changed that much really then.

(I think Jasper lacking guilt and remorse about these fact about him is because of SM and her own views she not so subtlety spread all over her books though.)

So yes, I am keeping him as an ex-confederate soldier. Jasper was 17 so we are just to assume he was ignorant, and that's okay, we can live with an ignorant white boy for now. I cannot stress enough about how there is no need to make mental flips and splits to justify this choice of thinking in a 17 y/o southern boy from the 1840's. But, he gets to change, he, after the first years of him killing the newborns reflects about this, he might not be completely educated but he has the spirit.

Now let's talk about Alice.

I love her, but, if we are really analysing this then her and therefore the rest of the Cullens (because they welcome her and Jasper on their family) are okay with Jasper serving for the confederacy and I don't like that.

Why did Alice make him feel hope and all this shit and get him to change and learn a new life but didn't make him reflect on that maybe, perhaps, fighting for the enslavement of an entire race wasn't a good thing to do.

She says "you'll never be that again." referring to him being a vampire killing machine, not a racist, may I remind y'all.

So, I think the change would be about Alice teaching him things, Jasper spent so much time with Maria and then he was seriously depressed, I get the idea he wasn't interested on- going outside besides to feed from humans.

I think there are two types of vampires, those who love seeing humanity grow and change and come up with all these little inventions and then the ones who just see humans as prey.

Alice being the first and Jasper the second, but not for long after he meets her.

I think Alice could update him about the modern world that was the 50's, she would educate her that yes, Jasper's gentlemanly ways are charming and make her blush and giggle but there are some comments that aren't okay, just because in "his time" it was "okay", "funny" or "right", to say these things doesn't make them less offensive, dismissive and hurtful.

Alice would ask Jasper what did he felt while serving? And why? Was he even fully aware of what he was fighting for? Did the years of him seeing countless human's fight and go to wars that got bloodier and more destructive made him stop and think about the damage of his own army career?

Make the man reflect. Make him think for days and days about these questions he asked himself but never truly took the time to answer them. I need Jasper to have a slight mental breakdown before he gets to know the more peaceful life with the Cullens and Alice.

Alice asked these questions in her endless curiosity, not in innocence, but rather to know Jasper, really know him and understand him.

I want him to feel disgusted about having to feed from humans now that he realizes how much harm he did, and that's were the Cullens come in, Alice knows about her new family of course and it's more than excited to know her mate wants this life too, not because oh he's so in love with her he'll do anything (he is) but because he wants to change.

Carlisle let's him stay because he knows this, he understands in a way and he can't help but sympathize with him and Alice wanting to change herself and help her partner.

But Jasper can't fully because his body is asking him to kill constantly. He doesn't want to keep harming people, but his body can't forget, not only his body it's scarred as a reminder, but there's this annoying bloodlust that doesn't want to go away just yet.

But he has Alice, holding his hand and make him feel like everything will be alright.

Jasper is struggling but he is changing, he is getting more and more mental peace, finally, after a century and a half. It's slow, it's painful but it's there, self forgiveness and change.

One of the things that I love, a concept, Jasper being into philosophy, history and just literature, him loving to learn.

I love that in Breaking Dawn Jasper wanted to help Bella with her thirst. And of course I love him being hurt when she's way more successful than he is after so many years.

Seeing someone who you share the same experiences is so amazing, it helps you, but seeing them overcome this challenges that you also endure it brings you down on such a horrible way, it hurts you, but it makes you think of who you were before and how much you have accomplished. How much you've changed and that's my take on Jasper Hale.

I am not normal about him.

Also, I think I would change vampires not being able to sleep or cry, I think Jasper deserves both, as a treat :). I love him.

Sailor Moon Thoughts - i know i'm 10yrs late but Crystal's not that bad actually

so i recently got back into sailor moon

grew up on the english dub 90s anime (watch the jpn sub in 9th grade)

had only read the manga once in the past and that was in college; however i just recently bought the first 2 volumes of the collector's edition (just finished V2 actually!)

but this is my first time watching Crystal (mostly bc when it was first coming out there was so much backlash and hate and it made me turn away from it)

now that i've read volumes 1&2 and watched S1 i gotta say...when compared to the manga Crystal's honestly not that bad and i'd say overall pretty faithful

Spoilers for Sailor Moon Crystal!

Usagi and Mamoru

first thing's first! mamoru's age is fixed! fucking yay!

in both the manga and crystal he's a 16yr old 2nd year high school kid! not a 1st year college student dating at 14yr old little girl! he and usagi compliment each other and it really shows in crystal imo

90s-SM fleshes out this couple individually more in the first season and i'm in love with that and they have some really sweet moments and i still ship it ofc i do BUT the age difference got so iffy and squeakable for me when watching again as a grown ass adult!

some of usagi's emotional intelligence is downplayed and she sometimes comes off as even younger than she is and that makes the ship feel uneven and i just keep thinking "there he goes off with his child bride 👋🏽" and it really doesn't help that they animated mamoru looking so much older and acting like a mature 20-something (even tho yes, he's closer to 18 but an 18yr old dating a 14yr old is still so squeakable to me)

the manga is where this ship thrives and it's more believable that they fall for each other especially bc they're on more equal footing but crystal adds in a scene in S1 that i personally love that's when sailor moon and tuxedo mask are fighting zoisite toward the middle of the season (before venus shows up)

i'm massively paraphraseing but in this scene usagi doesn't just tell but shows mamoru through her tears and pained expression that she understands he's deeply lonely and that it hurts her, she doesn't want that for him, she wants to do everything in her power to make sure he never feels that way again

and mamoru tells her that SHE is everything he wants and he doesn't need a magical stone to find out who he is and where he belongs not when she's standing beside him bc her strength and kindness are inspiring and he's not afraid or lonely when around her

"i won't let you be alone anymore" / "seeing your strength makes me so happy" couples are my downfall and this scene cracks me right open

and this is BEFORE they regain their memories i'm fucking dead!

5/5🌙

English Dub

i vaguely remember ppl shitting on the English dub of Crystal and yes i watched it in Japanese first but the English dub is actually really great?! especially when compared to the 90's English dub!! i love Usagi's VA and i think all the voices match the characters pretty well

4.5/5🌙

The Transformations and Character Designs

okay so those 3D transformations are bad

the animation is really jarring at first and yeah it's not good i don't like it but after a while you just sort of...idk get used to it and it's not a make-or-break thing imo now did the 90s anime do it better? fuck yeah! but by the end of the season i just felt meh about them and barely cared

1/5🌙

i remember the character designs getting A. LOT. of hate and yeah i agree that they are too sharp and angular and that the manga was more a cross between the 90s and crystal character designs - but that's another thing you get used to and also doesn't that get fixed later?

plus idk i kind like that both animated versions each take one end of the spectrum with the manga in the middle 🤷🏾‍♀️

2/5🌙

The Big One

okay now the big one - the supposed past love between the 4 heavenly kings and the inner planet guardians that wasn't in the manga and definitely not in the 90s version where these guys are handled more interestingly

i think this subby-subplot that's not even really a subplot is stupid and doesn't amount to anything and doesn't actually make a ton of sense if earthlings and...and moonlings being together is forbidden the serenity had to SNEAK AWAY to see her earth prince and it does sort of take away some of the tragedy that is serenity and endymion's doomed love

like i was going "what was the point of that" when the kings all die and the sailor girls are weeping for 2secs before getting back to busniess and i get wanting to expand more on all 8 of these characters, but that's not how you do it - 90s-SM expanded on these characters better because plot points were stretched out and we got to know the characters more slowly over a longer period of time (plus 2 of the kings were lovers! that's cute as hell!!)

basically this whole thing was shoved into the story last minute with very minimal build up barely any conclusion and it's really uninteresting

0.3/5🌙 (only bc venus dropping a few hints every few episodes was done well enough-ish but it was still stupid in the end and shouldn't have been included the way it was)

Conclusion

even with that though crystal still isn't that bad - overall it's actually pretty good and i love experiencing the manga coming to animated live

the OST is beautiful! and even tho NOTHING tops the 90s theme song that crystal usamamo love theme is fucking gorgeous 😍 in fact all the music in crystal is top teir imo

i do miss the focus on the female friendship tho and kinda wish crystal took some of that 90s-SM female friendship focus BUT 90s-SM just had so much more time to work with and at the end of the day SM is a romance so i understand why the anime adapting the manga more closely focused on the romance more heavily (and that usamamo scene i talked about above is still so. damn. good!)

anyway if you're like me and didn't bother watching crystal bc the hate and backlash when it first came out i say give it a try

it's still cute and still sailor moon and so far it's getting a 4/5🌙

i'll probably do another one of these when i finish S2 (jon and eng) and the volumes it adapted

Julius + Vincent 8/10

These two are nice too, it's mainly a comfort ship cause of me self projecting lol 😭

Jesús + Vincent 8/10

Almost the same exact opinion I have with the last one!

Frida + Cleo 9/10

OH MY GOD THAT ONE S3 EP LEFT ME HEART BROKEN, but! I am very very much glad they're on atleast good terms

Joan + Harriet 8/10

They're cute honestly, I liked the cheerleading episode a lot. and despite conflicts they have they seem to find a way to relate to eachother

Joan + Abe 8/10

OKAYY OKAY I KNOWW... this ship gets a lot of hate, and for an understandable reason , honestly. I don't blame anyone for not liking it but I personally don't mind it that much, they have their cute moments over all I do agree the writing could be better

Joan + Confucius 7/10

I was honestly hesitant with them at first when I saw the s3 trailer, but they grew on me!! They were cute. I personally think the dynamic worked pretty well too

Abe + JFK 7/10

They're alright, scenes with them are funny and I love that they ended up as buddies

Confucius + Harriet 6/10

Though there are some issues with their relationship, I found them pretty cute in s2 but I lost interest quick

Abe + Frida 10/10

CUTEST!! THEY'RE LIKE SIBLINGS TO ME!!!

Joan + JFK 6/10

I get how people can say there's not really much chemisty with them, they can be cute but I feel like I like them better off as pals now after what happened in s2

Catherine + Julius 7/10

They're like more seen together in s1?? Regardless if they were ever a couple or not, I like to think they separated on good terms/are friends!

Joan + Cleo 6/10

They're alright, I like the ship art, and I liked them getting along from time to time

Confucius + JFK 7/10

I'm kinda sad they didn't get much screentime together in s3 unlike in s2, but they're nice they were funny

anyways this all doesn't matter, the best clone high ship has been and will always be julius x a new haircut/j

for other ships, that I didn't explain or mention, they're also cool as long as its not weird LMFAO ship whoever you want and ty again!! 😁👍

[the-kr8tor]

OKAY SO I JUST HAD AN IDEA and I don't usually put this kinda stuff out so sorry if its a bit randomly thrown together but IMAGINE. Hobie taking the reader for motorbike rides. Like the wind in their hair, arms wrapped so tightly around Hobies waist but not too tightly because he's built like a twig and their scared they might break him 😭. And like, imagine if (totally not projecting) reader has sensory issues so they need earplugs because they don't like the loud noise the engine makes, and Hobie being so understanding of that, and awahhseisj idk it's just some cute little fluffy hc I thought of 😅

~🌾

Oooooohhh yessss I love motorcycle rides! I love them sm that I've written scenes of it in my thread the needle series!

Awwwee 🥺 I bet he brings a pair of earplugs with him like he'd always have a spare helmet just for you 😍

[nonbinarydeity]

HI!! i love your blog sm--like, it's AMAZING. you and remcycl333 really revolutionized LOA for me--and i really like that you and i are similar (neurodivergent, spiritual, nonbinary, etc)!! i have a couple burning questions and i think you could really help me understand myself better. FTR ive had a lot of successes with the LOA but now im working on some more stuff (career, body, etc). that i think i have some reluctance about.

me and the bestie (my subconscious) can talk to each other. what's confusing me lately, though, is that when i have these inner convos i seem to always show up as the "old" me. for example, my desired voice (#transmasc moment) is much lower but my current voice sounds higher... even though i KNOW i have a new voice, i still naturally "appear" with my old body and talk in my mind with that higher voice. i can't tell if this is my subconscious trying to tell me that i should persist until i naturally talk with a lower voice in my 4-D, or maybe i'm just so used to being "old" me that it's just a habit for now (e.g., seeing yourself mentally as a kid even though you're chronologically 35)?? like, if i'm in the state of the wish fulfilled shouldn't i naturally know that i have (in my mind) what i wanted already?

** if i visualize, i can hear my new voice UNTIL the scene ends but as soon as that's done, i'm back to thinking with my old voice until i 'remember' or remind myself that i have a new one...... it doesn't help that i have to hear my old voice all the time when i talk to my family. i think i do a good job of dismissing the 3-D though, it doesn't really sadden me.

2. i have so many desires i literally cannot keep track. i keep adding more every day bc i always find more stuff that i want and while that's great, i cannot for the life of me figure out what is the best way to manifest all of them at once. throwing everything under the umbrella of "(i am in the state of having)/i have my perfect life" seems like a good idea, but if i start to think of something else on top of it does it matter if i switch to ONLY affirming for that?? i feel like i'm in the kitchen cooking something on all four burners and i worry if i take my attention off of one "dish" it'll burn (disappear). like, they're all cooking at the same time so they'll all finish eventually... i don't want to get exhausted by being like "omg i just thought of having better mental health" -> manifesting that + "omg i just thought of getting rid of my joint pain" -> "omg i think i should manifest not having limiting beliefs" -> manifesting that and then so on and so on...

AGAIN THAKN YOU SO MUCH i owe you my life 😭

Okay, this is so sweet frr 💕 ty so much for the ask!!

Okay, so from what I can tell, you're having a problem with your inner Self at the moment. You can imagine having what you want, but as soon as you stop imagining purposefully, you revert back to the old, is that right? So for me, there's a couple things you could do!

Ask your subconscious mind what to do about it/ if it can help you! This may seem obvious, but it's there to help, so it really can be the best solution!!

Let go of the old story in your mind. Your mind is your ultimate dwelling place, it's where you are the creator! If you don't want to sound like your old voice in your mind, you don't have to! Sit for a moment and imagine your desired voice, and when you finish, remind yourself that that is YOUR voice, that is the voice that you have. It can take a little bit of reminding to get your mind on the same page as you, but the more you practice the easier it will get!! You're just in a transition phase on your mind right now, just keep imagining having it and feeling fulfilled by it. Also, don't put weight on it if you do slip back, just let it go freely and switch back, with no judgement or guilt. That voice has no power over you, you have the power 💕

As for having way too many desires, I know how you feel 😭😭 The biggest advice I can give for this is: change your dwelling state of being! When you imagine having what you want, you can imagine as many things as you want - either at the same time or one after the other. You have no limits in your imagination!

Your subconscious mind already knows each desire you have, so the only reason you're imagining is to feel the fulfillment of having it, not to get it. When you start feeling fulfilled naturally, and as you continue to fulfill each desire in your mind, you will start to notice all of your desires coming to you effortlessly!

You are in control of your Self, and as you imagine having what you want more, the idea of having it and the state of fulfillment that comes with it will become more natural! Remember that you already have your desires in the 4D, your subconscious gave it to you already! All you're doing is getting into and maintaining a state of fulfillment because it feels good, which will get you your desires by proxy 💕

Top 5 Hadley songs!!!

HI YES. YES THANK YOU SM FOR ASKING THIS OMG.

This is gonna be hard because there's SO MANY SONGS that he's sung INCREDIBLY, but off the top of my head, in NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

1. Beyond the Door (from In-Between the Musical)

One of the first songs I listened to after POTO. When I tell you I all but SCREAMED when I first listened to this. THE ENDING PART SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK, HADLEY 😭

2. All I Ask Of You (from The Phantom of the Opera)

Comfort song comfort song COMFORT SONG and also THE SCENE!?? This song is honestly what made me fall in love with Raoul 🥹 HIS VOICE IS FREAKING GORGEOUS HERE I CANNOT

3. Moving Too Fast (from The Last 5 Years)

THE ENERGY HE PUTS INTO THIS SONG PLEASE IT'S SO FUN AND HIS RANGE?? TERRIFIES ME ACTUALLY WTH. Like I love Jeremy Jordan's version obviously but I think I love Hadley's more (idk if I'm biased or what but I genuinely do. I feel like the energy and personality he puts into the song is just. Perfection. and so so FUN. he literally goes BLEUAAAGH at some point HAHAHA. PLUS THE ACCENT WHHDWHHDWHH).

4. Born to the Battle (from The Far Pavilions)

Okay because how does he DO THAT- the way he sustains that, I think, MIXED BELT?? OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT??? I COULD NEVER. Also the ACTING IN THIS SONG IS PHENOMENAL 😭 I don't even know the context of this song but I felt ALL the emotions wjfjwjrjwd

5. If I Only Had A Heart (from The Wizard of Oz

Unfortunately a lesser known performance of his, this is honestly genuinely one of my favorites of all time. He does the old-timey voice so WELL oh my GOODNESS. His VOICE. It's like BUTTER. MMMM. He does NOT need to make it sound that attractive 😭

BONUS:

Just Let Go (ANOTHER COMFORT SONG and also an original written by Hadley!! His voice is so soothing here I cannot 😭),

Again (CLASSIC HADLEY SONG. THE WAY HE SINGS "LEAVE HIM A NOTE, I'M SURE HE'LL UNDERSTAND" and "I LOVE YOU, STILL" 😭),

Drink With Me (from Les Miserables) (THAT BARITONE/BARITENOR VOICE?? HELLO?? MELTING),

Medicine Man (HE IMPROVISED THE VOICES OF ALL 4 CHARACTERS IN ONE TAKE EACH?!?????),

People Will Say We're In Love (he uses his old-timey voice again here MWAH, AND acts adorably nervous) (there's another version of this with his wife with clearer audio, but there's no video and I kind of like his performance here better),

and The Cold, Hard, Ground (from Treason: The Musical) (HE GOES FROM ONE OF THE LOWEST PARTS OF HIS RANGE TO THE HIGHEST IN THE SAME SONG?!? HOW IS THIS MAN HUMAN)

Send me Top Five Anythings and I'll answer! (or at least TRY TO WITHIN 5 LOL, OBVIOUSLY I FAILED THIS TIME)

#THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK #hadley fraser #ask games #asks #My Clarisse! #music #favorite asks

[justwritedreams]

Hey love!! I hope you take sehun requests. If you don’t I understand.

May I request something we’re the reader is much younger than sehun and the boys joke around their age gap and reader feel insecure and distances herself from Sehun and the boys and they find out why the reader is been so distant so they try to make things right.

Again I totally understand if your busy or you don’t want to take this request don’t feel forced to make it. Have a grate day 😘❤️❤️

Hellooo, honey! Of course I do 🥰 I write a lot for Baekhyun but the truth is that my bias is Sehun 🤣 I'm in the mood for some reaction so 😏

SEHUN REACTION | YOU AVOID HIM BECAUSE YOU THINK AGE IS A PROBLEM

Idol!Sehun x Reader

Word count: 2136 (that's long, sorry) Genre: fluff, slight angst. Author: maari  Warnings: Age gap (reader is 22 while Sehun is at the current age nothing illegal okay), insecurity, jokes. ⫷ Exo Masterlist

 So you and Sehun are at his house

You trying to decide what to do for the rest of your life

After you finished school you decided to do volunteer work to try to find your way, which didn't do much but at least you had a good experience for the last 3 years

While you're frustrated looking at college papers, staring at them like they're going to speak to you somehow

And Sehun is there by your side comforting you because he is an angel 🥺

He is there convincing you that you will be able to do the best you can

"And you can start over if you find that's not what you like"

"You always know what to say, don't you?"

Sehun raised an eyebrow and got up from the stool he was sitting on, leaning his torso to get close enough to kiss you with that little smile of his that I particularly love

"You know that better than anyone."

You rolled you eyes playfully and waited for him to plant a soft kiss on your lips

BUT

You were both interrupted by Sehun's doorbell

And Chanyeol, Baekhyun and Jongin's voices started to echo complaining about how cold it was outside 🤣

"Should I let them freeze?" Sehun asked playful

But of course you told him to open the door and let his friends in

Even if they interrupted the moment between you two

And when they walked in, they were shivering with cold but it didn't take long for you to greet them

And when they arrived in the room, where the college papers were spread out, Baekhyun was the first to comment "College papers? Who will go to college?"

You explained it was your plans

"And what did you think of doing?" Jongin asked interestedly

while he and the boys divided between the sofa and the rug

And of course Sehun sat next to you, hugging you by the shoulders

The truth is you wanted to do so much

Choosing a profession was just a difficult task because you liked everything

But you limited youself to saying "I like arts and laws"

And the guys were like oh yeah that's really complicated because there's no profession that does both at the same time

"There's still time for you to debut." Baekhyun suggested, laughing and the boys stared at him in confusion. "What? Suppose SM decides to make a female NCT Dream, Y/N can already be the maknae."

"Oh yeah, you're Jisung's age." Jongin remembered and you laughed nervously.

"I'm a year older." you corrected.

That was a very important detail to remember!

"And I wouldn't be a good idol, I don't know how to dance at all!"

"I could tell that's a lie." Sehun spoke softly and you turned to smack him in the chest. "Oh, that's a compliment!"

It was a compliment he didn't need to give in front of his friends!

"Please don't pollute my mind with that kind of scene." Chanyeol asked, covering his ears. "Y/N is still a baby, I don't want to think about that kind of thing."

"Then don't imagine, I didn't ask you to do that!" Sehun spoke angrily

And tried to hit Chanyeol on the shoulder, who dodged laughing like a child.

"Y/N debuting and Sehun going to the army." Baekhyun said, laughing. "Sometimes I forget you guys have a big age gap."

And even though it was a joke without any intention you felt your shoulders tense.

I mean remembering that you were 6 years younger than Sehun wasn't your favorite subject

"Because Y/N is very mature for her age." Sehun spoke

And he stroked your shoulder, trying to ease the tension that was there.

But it didn't help much.

"Actually, it's not just that." Kai continued. "You're such a big baby, sometimes it feels like Y/N is older than you are."

"Yeah, it sounds like she's more your babysitter than your girlfriend." Chanyeol spoke and a pillow flew to his face, which he caught complaining. "Hey, you gonna mess my hair!"

"You guys are starting to overreact." Sehun complained and made a pout that in normal days you would have turned away, cupped his cheek and laughed but you were too deep in thought to pay attention to the four men arguing.

I mean everything there was a joke, it was just to tease Sehun and you knew it

But a part deep down, the insecure part, agreed with the boys.

Well, at least for the most part.

Sehun was reaching an age where he would probably want to settle down to various projects in his life.

As you were starting your long journey now

It felt like two different worlds

While neither of you had ever mentioned your age difference as an issue, now you realized that maybe it was.

And well, it wasn't like you were the most confident person in the world, because you'd never had that experience before.

Dating a guy who was 6 months older? Nobody ever complained

Dating a man who was 6 years older? People looked on with distrust.

That's why, even though you felt guilty, you were avoiding Sehun

You tried to use college and all its confusion as an excuse to be busy and forget to answer his texts or even answer the phone when he called

But of course you should have known it wouldn't be that easy

Sehun was determined to talk to you

Let's face it, it was no mystery to him that you had become distant after that night

Even because he noticed your face when you left, he knew there was something wrong

Even if it meant him calling 3 times in a row

And he did!

And since your anxiety was already eating you up inside, of course you answered

Also, you really missed talking to him

The way you always did

"Hey, babe. Are you busy?” poor you had already melted just hearing his voice

You tried to lie that you were busy but of course the change in tone of your voice didn't go unnoticed by Sehun.

You were never good at lying and he knew it

You could still imagine him pouting as he said that the boys were at his house and that he wanted you to be there

But ignoring the tightness in your heart, you stood your ground

It would be best for you, that's what you thought

And that's when Sehun was sure something was wrong

Because honestly you didn't see him because had to do the laundry?? like since when

But he knew he couldn't confront you over the phone

Because you would be even more defensive and it wouldn't do any good, because you would deny it

Then he took off, voice clearly upset and you felt even more guilty.

But you couldn't go back

No, your plan was too perfect

Gradually pull away from him until you are no longer attached to him, to the point where it doesn't hurt too much when things are over so he can find someone his own age

Great, right?

Wrong!

Because after you've taken a shower to try to relax, still with wet hair and comfortable clothes

When I say comfortable, it's actually a sweatshirt you stole from Sehun

Because sincerely who wouldn't do that?

Your doorbell rang and you were like no, impossible!

You went to the kitchen to get a chocolate bar, thinking you were imagining things

Of course Sehun wouldn't be on your doorstep!

Well, actually he was.

And you proved it when the little bell rang once more, in a long way that an impatient person would do and you went to answer

And what was the surprise that he came in and took the chocolate from your hand as soon as you opened the door?

None!

And you were like what is he doing here? 🤷‍♀️

And he was very worried about putting his feet still on your couch while opening the chocolate bar

"That is the best." he said and you looked at him in shock. "Do you have more? Because the boys are coming over with food and some games."

"Hey, that's mine!"

Of course you complained, going towards him and trying to take the chocolate from his hand, which he just deflected. "Sehun!"

"You didn’t answer my question." he hummed with his mouth smeared with chocolate and honestly, you wanted to keep a straight face

But it was impossible

So you just laughed, shaking your head

Yeah, he was a baby sometimes but you loved it

"There's enough chocolate for the whole week."

And oh boy

Why did you said that

Because he smiled proudly, "I knew that"

You wanted to hit yourself because it was obvious that he knew you stuffed yourself with chocolate in one situation

When you were a wreck of emotions

So that was kind of a confession

But you couldn't talk anymore because the boys arrived, with a lot of food and your favorite pie!

And you found out it was actually an apology when you went to take the food into the kitchen with them

Kai was the first to admit that it wasn't meant to hurt you but to annoy Sehun 🤣

Because apparently Sehun didn't like anyone making any hints about the age difference between you

And you only found out now!

And well, it was almost impossible not to forgive them

Because it wasn't just them admitting they made a mistake but the way they tried to fix what they did

You wouldn't be bought with food but it's your favorite pie!!

And Chanyeol's Puss in Boots eyes from Shrek were helping a lot

You forgive them, "You didn't have to do that."

"We did." Chanyeol assured.

"No one could stand Sehun anymore saying it was our fault for you stopping talking to him." Jongin rolled his eyes 

This made you turn to face Sehun who glared at his friend angrily.

"You said that?" 👀

"It wasn't a lie." 🤷‍♀️

So after everyone stopped feeling guilty and you forgave them, it was a good night.

You ate and laughed until your stomach hurt and enjoyed yourselves and after that the boys left

But Sehun stayed, it was clear on his face that you guys needed to have the talk

And you didn't even know where to begin to explain

But it wasn't so necessary because he just crossed the room and hugged you

Firm and strong

To the point of making you melt completely and all worries go away

"I'm sorry I avoided you. I thought it would have been better if I just walked out of your life."

"I think it's a little late for that." 🥺

And you pulled away enough to look him in the eyes and oh my god

There was a different glow there

And the same playful smile as always because it's Sehun after all

But he was serious

"Silly, how could I think about my life without you?"

And you didn't even want to get emotional but hearing him talk like that

"Wouldn't you want someone older?” Of course you had to ask

And Sehun just laughed, "You're much more mature than a lot of people my age so”

And you were like I'm serious

And he tucked a lock of you hair behind your ear as he tilted his head

"I don't want anyone else but you!” he assured

And if you didn't feel your legs tremble just from that, I did 😮‍💨

"I really think you missed the part that I'm in love with you!"

And man, if you need any more proof, what will he have to do? Put a ring on your finger

I mean, it doesn't seem like a bad idea right 😏

In conclusion: I think Sehun would do anything to make you as comfortable as possible with this and if you ever feel insecure again, he'll prove to you that has no reason, why he chose to be with you. I think deep down he also felt insecure about you wanting someone younger but you'll never know that 🤣 He would try to keep a balance between his plans and yours so that both of you don't have to give up what you want, because just like you he wants this to work out. You don't have to feel pressured to go a step further just to keep up with him. And he will want you to live all the experiences you need so that you become an even stronger woman than you already are so yes, I think he is the companion type for everything. Everything!

And honestly, does anyone believe this man is 28 years old? I don't!

[writefightandflightclub]

Thank you so much!! I absolutely adored your finnpoe x reader fic series- oh my god!

The small headcanon: firstly, I love the readers personality!!! But I was wondering if poe/finn would have fallen for a reader who's shy, reserved, introverted and sensitive? Someone's who's kinda a pushover for others and is very sweet to everyone, even when it's undeserved. Don't get me wrong, I love the readers personality sm, but I'm not a badass like they are 🙈 even though I wish I was.

I hope this is ok, tysm for sharing your writing with us!!!

Okay! First of all, thank you! 😀 I’m super glad you enjoyed that series 🙏🧡

Second of all, I just want to say that you can be shy, reserved, introverted, and sensitive and ALSO be a badass! There are loadsa different ways to be awesome and badass, and sometimes it looks the way reader was here, sure… but sometimes it looks different! (I just needed you to know that! 🥹)

Third: would Poe / Finn have fallen for a shy!Reader? WOULD THEY?

Yes!!

Finn and Poe would be smitten!

(I do have some Poe x reader fics with shy!reader e.g. mixed signals if you wanna check that one out!)

Here are some very quick thoughts below, specifically on Oe falling for a shy!reader. (Sorry I don’t have time for more depth here! If I had more time I’d include hcs before and after relationship, and I’d also include Finn to match the fic, but the first thing that came into my head was this little story with Poe. Hope that’s alright! 🧡).

Below the cut. Fluff only, probably typos.

You make me shy: Poe Dameron x shy!GN!reader (ficlet/hcs)

Poe is a talker, okay? He’s not sure he even knows what it feels like to be shy. It doesn’t really happen to him? But, he’s an understanding guy, and he’s been around a lot of different folk in his time, particularly in his years as part of the cobbled together Resistance. He understands that everyone is different, has different needs and preferences, and interacts differently. He knows that everyone has strengths and talents and that they don’t always look one way. He goes on like he’s some hotshot, at times, but at the end of the day he generally understands that he’s part of a team, and he’s well aware of all the people working quietly behind that scenes that the whole operation depends on. And, as much as he likes to sing his own praises, he also hates for other people’s contributions to go unnoticed or under-appreciated.

Okay, and then, there’s you.

Poe notices you right away when you arrive on base. In fact, he does a double-take as he watches you in the queue of new recruits, waiting at the hatch to the supply wing for your first uniform bundle. He kicks back on a nearby crate with his morning caf, casually people-watching and monitoring activities across base, but also scoping out the new Rebels. Seeing what he and the Resistance might have to work with. Looking for early indications of personalities and dynamics which might be assets - or liabilities.

At first, his head whips back to you because he thinks you’re damn good-looking, but he continues to be captivated for other reasons. He notes that the other recruits have started chatting in-line, bunching up and forming small bundles and groups, whilst you are standing more solitary, looking down at the duracrete and gently scuffing your boot back and forth over the surface.

Next, Poe notices that one of the bigger, muscular recruits clearly fancies himself a leader (in all the wrong ways), rocking up to the queue and beginning to bark orders - somehow even convincing you to relinquish your spot so he can go ahead of you. Poe lets it play out for now, but he makes a mental note to keep an eye on that one.

Poe isn’t particularly interested in this guys bluster - he’s seen it all before, but he is interested when he sees you raise your arm in the air, announcing “wait”, as this big guy presses forward, halting him in his tracks. Poe unconsciously shifts towards the edge of his crate. Then, he watches you stoop to the floor and pick up something that no-one else in-line seems to have noticed, cupping it delicately in your hands and transferring it to a nearby flower. Poe watches you smile softly as you settle the little creature - which was likely about to get trampled - safely on to the plant, and he can’t help but smile along with you.

Now, that’s the kind of quality a Resistance member needs, he thinks. Heart.

He makes a mental note to keep an eye on you too. And, as he watches you shuffle to the back of the line after relinquishing your space for the little creature, Poe downs the dregs of his caf and decides to circle by the line. “You,” he says as he passes by, as casually as possible. He repeats your name when he reads it on your tag. Your head whips towards him, wide-eyed, but he gives you the warmest of smiles. “To the front.” He winks and nods at his buddy dishing out supplies from the hatch to confirm that’s okay, and all of the other recruits in the line turn to you then.

You shrink with all their eyes on you, but Poe’s smile is reassuring and steady and makes you feel better, even if you can barely look him in the eye.

Poe feels a pleasant heat crawl up his neck as you shyly meet his gaze. Kriff, you’re cute. He gestures again towards the front of the line. “Look sharp, Recruit. Your bundle’s waiting.”

Finally, you snap out of it and nod, flashing him a kind smile, and Poe is taken aback by how much he melts when you look at him all flustered like that. You head to the front of the line, and stars, you haven’t said a word to him yet, but as Poe presses on towards the hangar, all day he can’t stop thinking about how he really wants to talk to you some more.

This same theme continues.

Poe notices you.

As a Commander, it’s part of his job to identify strengths, and oh boy, you have an abundance of them. You pick up on things others do not. Come up with fresh angles on plans once you’ve had a chance to step back and reflect. You’re not prone to being blinkered by ego or a desire for approval or attention, and as such, your carefully devised plays usually prove to be solid.

You care. You’re good and kind, and that’s something Poe values highly.

Poe always makes sure to give you credit for your great ideas too, even when you don’t wish to take it (or on those occasions where someone else tries to steal credit for the ideas you whisper in their ear through briefings) and you quickly find your spot on base where you’re able to excel. You may not be out in the field throwing punches, but Poe watches your determination, optimism, and cool head as a tactician. Poe finds it hard to keep a cool head, and he admires that trait in you.

So, while you personally feel you’re blending into the background… unbeknownst to you, you’re often at the forefront of Poe’s mind.

All the while, Poe remains keen to get to know you better.

He’s a talker, after all, so he knows how to put people at ease during a conversation. You find it easy to build a rapport with him as he’s so open and warm and genuine - wickedly funny too - and he admires the sincere and thoughtful way you communicate. Once you see that he doesn’t mind if you get embarrassed or stumble over your words, you find it easier to be around him too.

Poe starts to learn more about you, and is always bigging you up at any opportunity he gets. You don’t think anything of it though, because -after all- Poe is nice to everyone who’s nice. However, you somehow ease into a friendship, with Poe seeking your sound judgement out often to feel out his more, ahem, impulsive plans. Coming to you for some deeper, more intimate conversations when he tires of the bustle of base. He trusts you with his deeper fears and worries, in confidence, and you begin to see a side of the pilot he has scarcely dared to show to anyone else.

Poe stands up for you, and always encourages you to stand up for yourself too. “I’m just sayin’. You need to know your worth. You’re kind to everyone, and not everyone deserves it.” Poe had melted when you had softly replied to him. “Poe. Some of the Rebels have X-Wings or blasters or their fists. This? This is how I fight.” Poe’s eyes mist over, and he swallows the lump in his throat. A watery smile spreads over his face, and he wraps his hand around the back of your neck, leaning in to plant a soft kiss to the middle of your forehead.

You do take what he says on board, eventually, and get better over time at setting boundaries, realising it’s okay to have standards on how people can treat you. You get better at putting yourself first sometimes, and appreciating that you deserve that kindness for yourself too. But you never stop wearing your heart on your sleeve, and Poe makes clear that he loves you for it, and for so many other things besides.

You just don’t realise how much he loves you for it.

Not until one night, when the two of you are alone together, watching the latest holo movie in your quarters.

You watch the main character fighting their way through a slew of cave beasts, and you breathe softly: “I wish I could be a badass like them.” Like you, Poe, you secretly add in your head.

You sigh, and the movie is about a quarter way through by the time you realise Poe isn’t even watching it.

He’s just looking at you.

You turn to him, his gaze soft but heavy when you look into his eyes. You drop your own gaze to his lips, forgetting yourself for a moment with his proximity, and as soon as his mouth is perceived it’s as though it won’t stop confessing. As if it had been too long for him to hold it in and he can’t hold it in anymore.

“I really want to kiss you,” he breathes, voice soft and cautious and heavy with feeling. He searches your eyes for fear that he has mis-stepped, and your eyes shine softly with disbelief, but he carries on. “I’ve wanted to kiss you since the first time I saw you in line.”

You blink and shake your head. “What?!” This can’t be right, surely?

A soft smile lilts across his face. “You pushed Bluto right out of the way. To save this little bug. You stood up to the biggest asshole on base, because that little thing needed you.”

Your eyes brim with tears, a swell of emotion you can’t name yet.

“Nobody cares about those kriffing things,” Poe continues. “They’re everywhere. A kriffing menace. They get in the engines and munch the wires. Everyone else swats them away or stomps ‘em.” His eyes shine softly now with the light of a thousand stars. “But you did. You cared. And you still don’t get it, do you? You care - about being kind. About doing the right thing. Even when it’s hard. Even when it’s scary. Even when no-one notices. And if that’s not badass? Stars, I don’t know what is.”

By this time, tears are spilling over on to your cheeks and Poe gently slips his hands around the back of your neck in this familiar gesture, the heat of his palm warming you.

Even now, you expect him to lean in and bestow his usual forehead kiss upon you… but this time, his face tilts to position with his lips hovering only moments from yours.

“Can I kiss you?”

You feel his words against your cheek.

Breath hitching, you fist your hands into his shirt, but even so, you can’t bring yourself to give in to him just yet, and your breath merely trembles in the space between you. “You… like me? Wh- Why did you never say anything, Poe?”

“Honestly?” he says bashfully, moving his hand to cup your cheek. “You made me kinda shy.”

Poe Dameron? Shy?

And, with that confession, when you finally drag him into you for a kiss, somehow you are crying and laughing at the same time.

When Poe’s lips meet yours, they are soft. So very soft, just like you had imagined they would be.

Stars.

You’d wanted to kiss him since your first day on base.

All this time, you’d just been a little shy.

yesterday i finally watched the new tmnt movie!! at first i wanted to do a live reaction kinda thing, except that wouldn’t work because i'd have to reblog every entry and hiding every single part under a "read more" would be not only tedious, but i'm not even sure if it's possible lol

so instead have a collection of my thoughts here! (spoiler warning, duh)

first of all: the art style. there’s something strangely nostalgic about it. it feels like that is what my mental storyboards as a kid would have looked like, had i been into animating back then. or at least that would have been close to the style i would have liked to emulate.

the explosions looking like violent scribbles is just so 😩🤌♥ chef's kiss, truly. there's something about the art in general that just moves in such a particular way and holds a certain weight and volume,, it feels like cardboard and clay and crayons and the piles upon piles of coloured pencils i used to have as a kid and how the wooden pencil drawer smelled. i'm such a fan of this style i’M obsessed o(-<

in the intro shots for the turtles, raph licking his sai blades is so extra and i love him for that lmao

for some reason i completely forgot they cast jackie chan as splinter and tbh idk how to feel about it? no hate towards him; i just don't think voice acting is his strong suit

meanwhile i'm looooving mikey's voice. also leo's beacuse, well first of all, i am a leo girlie (gender neutral) through and through so i would have loved all aspects of him no matter what. but his voice actor is gumball's i believe? and that's one of my comfort shows 🥺 i just love him sm

this little donnie is sending me, i- 🤣

superfly's theme reminds me of miguel's for some reason? 😂 and i'm here for it ahahh

the whole watermelon scene lmaoo teeangers being teenagers, finally

aaaand here comes the probably forced romance subplot 😅😅 (more on that later)

the whole fighting scene in the workshop tinted in red? ugh 10/10

ok so, april: i really like how they met. i like her design, her voice and her whole vibe. the whole puking jokes were a little too much for me; personally im not a fan of fart or puke jokes because, well, i’m not a 12yo boy (looking at you seth rogen) but all in all i really liked this rendition of april. it sucks tho that the turtles got a snazzy outfit by the end, both for school and for prom, but april’s clothes always remained the same. would have loved to see what she wore to prom!

the gen z lingo and references: …i mean, i guess it makes sense? i just don’t know how well it will age xD the references to end game and all were fun but, again, will someone in 15 years understand what they meant? will someone in 15 years know what rizz is?

changing the topic, the way eyeballs are rendered??? hello?? they’re so expressive and shiny and i lowkey wanna lick them ok

the chris pine cutout actually made me choke on my food from both surprise and laughter jhdfkjashdf

oookay so. superfly and his gang. first of all when the gecko talked i went like hey is that ant-man? lmao i love all the designs and ice cube as the villain works?? im not mad?? lol now, his plan however... sigh, my guy. killing all humans aside, have you maybe thought that if you turn every single animal and insect into a mutant, the whole ecosystem would all but collapse? there will be no planet left to belittle the humans on (:

"he'll run out of cars eventually" / *looks at parking* / “oh, c’mon!” lmaoo 😂 this joke was excellent

so, back to the forced romance thing. look i get it, they needed a reason to help out april to get the plot going. and if leo said it, then the rest would follow. i get that. but throughout the whole movie, aside from like his brothers elbowing his side knowingly, there’s no more allusion to anything? and then only at the veeeery end, he asks her out and she says yes, so i was like “oh okay so that’s the payoff then. took long enough” but then when they’re dancing she rhetorically asks if they’re just doing this as friends and 😐 maybe this is just my aroace self projecting but,, if you’re gonna use romance/romantic interest as a catalyst (lame tbh), at least be consequent about it?? if you (the writers) didn’t have the intention to explore the relationship, then leave it altogether? again, this is just my aroace opinion,, i can’t relate so i don’t understand. (which i know seems contradictory given my uh, repertoire of fics lmao) personally i would have preferred a different reason for them to helping out april, and having them all just be besties by the end, which they ended up being anyway

so, to sum it all up. it’s a story we’ve seen a hundred times, so there was really nothing new to it. the plot was okay,, the biggest thing that “bothered” me was superfly’s whole extermination thing making no sense, technically. but other than that, my eyes and ears were having an absolute feast. a very enjoyable film all in all. when we got rottmnt, i was like “oh finally an iteration of the teenage mutant ninja turtles where they’re actually teenagers” but scratch that. mutant mayhem is the most teenager one, and i loved them for that. time will tell how the jokes will age but yeah, the way they were depicted was definitely my favourite thing about the film aside from the art style.

have you guys seen it? what are your thoughts? lemme know :D feel free to comment here or send in some asks!

#btw i 100% disappeared for a long time and then im dropping this and probably disappearing again #for which i am sorry #things are just kinda hectic rn #tmnt mutant mayhem #tmnt mm #goose honks
