tbh kind of a harsh one about the fandom (and maybe should not even get published) but i feel like all the content creators that were worthwhile ended up leaving. i kinda feel like youre one of the remnants of the fans that had real serious and interesting discussions to have about the show and thats why i love your blog so much. and no offense to everyone else still in the fandom, they make what they enjoy, but it all feels like fun unrelated aus, or borderline-oc out of character art or fics, and absolutely no thoughts on the real characters or show anymore. which is fair enough since. yknow there hasnt BEEN anything new to talk about. but i LOVE what the fandom used to be with people like rondoel and thoriffix and angel-archivist and erstwhilesky. but idk. maybe i just grew out of it. but i wanted to hear your thoughts on this since u encapsulate what i really wanted this fandom to be, and if u feel the same way at all. also idk if this ask got off track sorry </3

awh my dude :(((

its okay, dont be sorry!! i really feel the struggle you feel </33 but i'm glad i got to offer stuff you enjoy, because honestly, i miss these sides of the sanders sides fandom too :((

i don't think you're being harsh about your general assumptions on the fandom. to me, i think the fandom has always had fans who make more ooc, au-related content, but we always had that lucky few who really analyze and the dissect the series for what it is. and now, well, i feel like it's much rarer to find.

don't get me wrong, the fandom's lovely, but i think we accidentally became too obsessed with the idea that we were the first "perfect" fandom that we normalized toxic black and white thought processes, which made a lot of us just. not consume sanders sides for what it's worth.

the interpretations of sanders sides has honestly gotten so shallow for what it is. sanders sides discusses mental health, philosophy, psychology, moral dilemmas, and just. a lot of stuff that people go through that they didn't realize was a problem with a viable solution. it's funny to think that sanders sides discusses black and white thinking but its fandom is JUST like it. the fandom infantalizes the characters when virgil has spoken out about it. we've attributed these characters to such batshit unrealistic unsympathetic headcanons which warp our view on them.

and i don't know. it's kind of disheartening, sometimes, because we're given such an amazing and well-crafted series and all fans do is woobify or villainize the characters. we don't see the established depth that's already there.

i can't blame past content creators for leaving, but for those who stayed, i really hope that you really embrace the series for what it's worth. i don't mean digging deep and analyzing characters for every breath they take, but just. understanding what thomas informs us of. internalizing the lessons the characters present to us. it just feels like a waste, if we see these characters as nothing but ragdolls for us to throw around.

of course, i don't mean we should stop making au's and personal headcanons, but i just mean like. appreciate sanders sides for what it is first before you do.

pilot

kageyama x f!reader

may contain spoilers!

EDIT: HIIII SO UH THERES A “pilot ~revised~” ON MY PAGE SO I RECCOMENTD READING THAT ONE CUZ IT HAS MORE CONTENT 👍🏽

Here’s the link:

description: In which Y/n is a new addition to Karasuno’s Girl’s Volleyball Club

THIS IS REALLY JUST LIKE...A TEST RUN..FOR THIS STORY CUZ I DONT THINK IM THAT GREAT AT WRITING and i feel like people wont really like it. so....yeah.

a/n: ok so, I’ve been thinking of this concept so much lately. It started off as just as a nice story to play in my head, but I really wanted to see if I could write it down. So, I felt like I haven’t really seen a lot of imagines or content on the girl’s volleyball club and I felt like it would be cool to explore that side. First things first, I am raised in California. Thus, I am quite incompetent in knowledge about Japan schooling. All my knowledge is really from me googling stuff and ofc, watching haikyuu. With that said, if I made a mistake on the take of Japan schooling, I do not mean to cause any offense. This is solely for entertainment purposes. With that said, I do not own the characters of haikyuu. However, there are some characters I made up with my own imagination. In addition, this is an “x reader” sort of story but I will be defining some of her characteristics so I am sorry if it hinders you from imagining its you. Finally, I am not that good at writing stories lol but im trying. I hope you enjoy.

I hate introductions. Y/n thought to herself as she sat back down in her seat after standing in front of the class, stating her name and her previous school. Her gaze shifted towards the window. The sun was out and shining and she had the perfect view of the gymnasium. Oh how she just wanted to get up from her uncomfy chair and leave the boring lecture and head towards the gym.

It was the first day of school for Y/n at Karasuno High. It’s not like she started in the middle of the semester, no, she was just about a month late into the school year. With her work ethic, she didn’t feel any pressure in order to catch up with everyone else. She knew she would get it done.

It’s not really her fault she came a bit late into the school year either. Her dad’s job required a small move, not that she was complaining. She didn’t really feel tied down at her old high school because: she wasn’t there for that long and she didn’t really make any friends, despite joining a sport.

It’s not that she didn’t want to make friends. It seems that her track record, or the lack thereof, from junior high with meeting new people has left an imprint on her.

Y/n looks down at the worksheet that was passed out in the beginning of class. The assignment was already completed due to Y/n’s eagerness to finish any homework that would take away time from her main passion.

Some people would say she was obsessed. Some would say dedicated. She simply sees volleyball as an opportunity. The class bell rings, signaling for lunch. Before she realizes it, she is walking towards the gym, in which she would meet the girl’s volleyball captain. As she is switching shoes, she can hear screaming from inside.

“-What did I tell you about touching my onigiri! You are going to pay for that!” “I really didn’t mean it this time, I promise! I didn’t know it was yours!” The voices were muffled, yet she was still able to hear the sincerity in both of the voices. Y/n was about to open the gymnasium’s door when the door swung open by a tall pink-haired girl. She was being chased by another tall girl with long blonde hair, but she was a bit shorter than the pink one. Before Y/n could process stepping aside because it seemed the pink-haired girl had no inclination in stopping, she was tumbled to the ground by the girl who she can only guess took an onigiri without permission. As well, the blonde clumsily tripped and fell on top of the two.

“You idiots! Will you stop it! We already told you, we got a guest coming today and we want to make a good first impression!” A stern voice called out inside the gym.

“Um, Moa-san, I think our wishes are already soiled.” Another voice chimed in from the gym.

“Wha- You dumbasses! Hey, are you okay?” A girl with dirty blonde hair came out from the entrance and offered a hand towards Y/n as the two perpetrators started to get up with apologies towards Y/n.

“Yeah, I am good.” Despite just being tackled to the ground, Y/n remains as neutral as ever.

“Aren’t you going to ask if we are okay?” The energetic, pink haired spoke.

“As if I care when you collide into our guest! You really need to be more cautious, Etsuko!” She barked. “I am Aihara Moa. Pleasure to meet you. You’re the first year that turned that application past the deadline, right?” she states more calmly than her previous statement.

“Pleasure is all mine. And, yes. Sorry for the inconvenience.” Y/n states with quite the unfazed face.

Does this kid crack a smile once in a while? Moa asked in her mind. She seems quite different than the other first years we have. Her thoughts continue.

“I am Oba Yuma and this is Morita Etsuko.” Yuma, who had the pretty, long blonde hair, spoke with a warm smile.

“Why did you introduce me?! I wanted to have a cool introduction!” Etsuko huffed with a small pout.

“Well, it’s not like you can recover your so-called ‘cool introduction’ from that full-body collision.” Yuma smoothly replied. Etsuko’s eyes widened and cheeks heated up as she couldn’t come up with a sly comeback to her logic.

“You guys are just lucky that Rinko isn’t here to scold you.” Moa warned the 2 first years. With the mention of the scary third year that wasn’t even the captain, yet she reigned supreme in the disciplinary department, they shivered at the thought of the punishment.

As Y/n stepped further into the big, bright court, she spotted that she could only assume was the captain as she looked so appalled at what happened.

“Hello, you must be Michimiya Yui.” Y/n knew she had to say something to pull the worried captain from her thoughts.

“Hi! Yes, that’s me! I am so sorry for those two. I would say they aren’t always like that, but I don’t want to lie to a potential teammate.” Yui spoke with an uneasy smile.

Yuma and Etsuko’s interests peaked when they heard “a potential teammate” come out of their captains' mouths. They were the only first years on the team, so the thought of another person in the same boat as them made them excited and wanted to join the conversation. The two first years gave each other a look and started to walk towards Yui and hopefully their new friend. However, before they could even be in ear-shot, the pair got pulled away by Sasaki Chizuru, another third year.

“Oh, no. Don’t think you will be bombarding her with questions right off the bat.” She bluntly states.

“Oh, c’mon Sasaki, aren’t you curious about her? Like how did she get into volleyball? Or even, is she a beginner? Or maybe she is an absolute monster who dominates the court!” Etsuko proclaimed as her mind went too fast for her mouth to follow.

“As of right now, it’s not our business. All we can do, and are allowed to do”, emphasizing the word ‘allowed’, “is to watch from the sidelines and quietly eat our lunches.” Chizuru instructed the first years and pointed at the far corner of the gym.

Despite her own words, Chizuru couldn’t help but glance at Y/n and wonder the same things that the first year questioned. At face value, Y/n was quite the enigma. The 2 first years gave a pout, but headed towards their desired location.

“So, you came from Niiyama Girls' High? That’s a really good school for volleyball. What made you come to Karasuno?” Yui asked.

“It was the most ideal school in terms of my dad’s work location.” Y/n states plainly. She didn’t technically lie. Well, it was an ideal school in terms to the proximity to her new apartment, but that was not the only reason. She saw videos of their interhigh-prelims last year and to be quite frank, Y/n was not entirely impressed with the state of their team. However, she knew that this meant there was room to grow for them. She knew very well that she could have gone to Shiratorizawa and joined their girls’ volleyball club. Objectively, with her skill set, Shiratorizawa made sense. Nonetheless, Y/n didn’t know what compelled her to pick this one. She convinced herself it was because she is a sucker for rooting the underdog.

Does this kid show any emotion? Yui thought in her mind. It’s like nothing affects her. Her thoughts continued.

“How long have you been playing volleyball?” Yui curiously asked.

“Since the 2nd grade.” Y/n quickly states. As much as she wasn’t showing it, she was just itching to show what she can do. The court was right there in front of her, after all.

“That’s impressive, alright, well if you’re comfortable with it, I’d love to see some serves and sets from you. After school, we can hold a three on three since we all aren’t really in the right clothes to play.”

“Sounds good.” To say Y/n was excited would be an understatement. As she removed her cream sweater, she could feel a set of eyes burning a hole on her back. She turned around to put her sweater down and realized that she was wrong. It wasn’t one pair of eyes, it was all of them, curious to see how good she really is. She could feel her heart pounding at the thought of holding everyone’s attention. She knew if she let her mind continue, the nerves would get to her and hinder her performance. She took deep breaths and started to quietly humm a song that was previously playing on her phone from her morning ride to school.

Yui passed a volleyball to her and ran to the other side of the net, and yelled, “Let’s see what ya got!”

Y/n carried herself behind the serve line, taking one deep breath to keep her hands from shaking. With that exhale, she opened her eyes and focused her sights on Yui. The captain wouldn’t admit it, but she could already feel herself sweating under the first year’s gaze.

She looks so intimidating. I’m not even on the court, yet I’m scared. Yuma viewed Y/n’s determined look. For Y/n, it was as if everything crumbled away and the only thing remained was the court. She starts her run up.

A jump serve?! Yuma, Etsuko, and Chizuru incredulously thought simultaneously with eyes basically bugging out of their head. They watch in amazement as she jumps with severe height and reeled her arm back. After that, all that could be sensed was a loud snap and then the ball smacked the ground next to the wide-eyed captain. The impact from the ball gave a small breeze through Yui’s short hair. The deafening silence that followed her serve filled the room in an instant. Those watching from the sidelines had to pick up their jaws from the floor.

“She’s a first year?! Are you sure?!” Etsuko broke the silence with her curiosity getting the best of her.

“Boke Etsuko! That was already clarified, don’t make her repeat herself!” Yuma scolded. While Yui read your capabilities on your application form, it was nothing like actually being on the receiving end in real time.

“That’s quite a serve she got in her arsenal.” A voice startled the three high school students, sitting on the sidelines. Etsuko and Yuma were the most startled, but Chizuru was quite used to her fellow classmates popping in every now and then.

“Seriously, Sudou. We have to put a bell on you or something because I don’t think my heart can take any of your surprise entrances.” Sudou Rinko only slyly chuckles at Etsuko remark. She looks over at Y/n and Yui on the court.

“Did you guys see the precision on that serve?” Rinko posed to the other three sitting on the ground, munching on their lunch.

“Well, not really, but it landed, like, near Michimiya, right?” Etsuko tries to come up with the answer that Rinko was looking for.

“It landed right next to her left foot. I think that pipsqueak is able to aim her serve.”

“What?! That’s insane.”

“Yeah, insane, but not impossible.”

“With her, maybe we can win more games!”

“Don’t get your hopes up, Etsuko, a team is only good if everyone is giving their all.” Yuma reminds. “After all, there’s not only one person on the court, there’s six.”

“I heard she came from Niiyama Girls' High” Sudou stated as she reverted her gaze back to her fellow teammates. They stared at her after she gave more information on the stranger in their gym.

“Why would she come to Karasuno then?” Yuma asked honestly. She knew that her team had strengths, but she also knew that other teams had strengths that overpowered them.

“How could you diss your own school like that?” Etsuko was almost angry at how her teammate was treating their school. She always was the one to take pride in everything she does.

“No, that’s a valid question. It makes sense that a player with her caliber would be well-suited in a powerhouse school.” Rinko supported Yuma in her question. All four look ahead and see that Y/n is beginning to set for Yui.

“Her precision and accuracy are so on point, it almost makes me sick.” Yuma commented on how your form for setting only held the necessities. Y/n stepped with purpose, and it showed as she passed a nice set for Yui, allowing her to have optimal choices in where she can place her spike.

so um, that’s really all i got haha I started this like yesterday instead of doing hw so yeah. Feedback and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. So, did u like it? Did u hate it? Are u confused by it? lol yeah okie bye

toffee!

yeah same, i follow some fic accs that occaisionally post smut and its like mmmmm is the fluff writing enough to balance the posts that gives me finger burn trying to scroll past it? but yeah thats probably the way to go

ah i wasnt there for the teaser but i can imagine that was tantalising. lmaoo yes but to be fair i do have a writing acc called channiesbigheart so... balancing it out? but i absolutely am whipped beyond belief. it was a TRAVESTY how COULD they have. yeah the b sides gave him more lines but they werent the ones that were performed over and over at stages. yessss the line distribution in this album is impeccable, im pretty sure the thunderous stuff was some of their best distribution

hehe i can understand that, sometimes putting someone in a situation so horrible it would be considered a violation of human rights is theraputic, ya know? mmmm the differences are a bit nuts, it was 14 degrees today and in less than a week its going to be 32 or smth. BROOO that would be legendary, i bet theyd treat their artists rlly well and have great music as well ahhh but its a lot of work adn commitment. yES that is a mood if ever i heard one.

its the same in australia as well, sadly, you have people who hold up harry styles and lil nas x for breaking gender roles and wearing make up adn steryotypical womens clothing (and keep in mind i have infinite respect for both of them theyre honestly doing so much for the de-dehumanising of gay people and those who wear whatever they want), and calling the kpop boys gay and other things for doing the same thing, when theyve been doing it for years and gotten no recognition smh its so tragic. yes, anyway YES ONLY 6 MONTHS I AM FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES A BBY STAN altho i considered myself a fully fledged stay like 2 days after i got into them cos i just spent all day researching and fixating. YES someone said it. it feels like theyre losing a huge chunk of why a lot of people liked their music in teh first place, which was that whole dna, dope, fire mood. and even doing bright songs is fine, liek they should do what they want but i feel liek the western music industry is so fucking toxic that they feel pressured into making these decisions. dont get me wrong, theyre good decisions from a business perspective, theyre getting record breaking sales but still. mmm yeah honestly yg just needs to get its shit together or get out

oooh! not into nct but i see a lot of him, he seems rlly talented. ahh yes another channie ult lmaoo i feel that, my list is growing in leaps and bounds as well. mmm yeah i think i will, im just going to try to save enough money :) mingi appealed to me mostly for the voice (like felix smh what is it with me and deep voiced bois) but also his soft visuals and the whole cutesy thing he has going on i rlly liked. yes i did get into them while he was on hiatus, but im still mostly a casual stan, ill listen to the album when it comes out but i dont think ill obsessively look over everything to do with it, like skz. HAH WE'RE MORE SIMILAR THAN I THOUGHT. lmaooo the thot line describes them perfectly, why are they all so damn attractive. especially seonghwa, like that man looks like a character from a book, cardan greenbriar vibes anyone? mmhmm! his vocals are absolutely insane. ty! yeah im excited altho idk how theyre every going to beat border:carnival, that shit was impeccable. ahh no stress, enjoy teh groups you stan atm!

ahh thank you so much, ill keep that in mind. hehe thats good! hopefully its soon :( ah ty, it means a lot. ill think abt that and hopefully talk abt it a little more :)

ah, no it was inside our gymnasium but to get to the other side of the stage you had to exit the building, go around the back and then enter through the other stage door. ah tysm! im glad too. mmm same, they baffle me. ;n; noo so sad :( ahh, thats um not smth i put on here, but im in high school so make of that what you will :)

thank you! ive done a majority of them, i just have maths, an english presentation and an economic assignment due now so im pretty much home free. yeah i feel like hes the epitome of here for you while being inescapably far away. haha she sounds like one of my friends. lmaooo why is that me. hmmm i feel like youve answered a lot of them in that answer so maybe just ateez, enha, txt and bp? if you stan them? :)

ahhh no problem at all, proud of you for managing to overcome the procrastination! progress! mmm thats good! ahh pls do let me know if you ever decide that, i cant promise i wont cry but do what you gotta do :)

<3 w.a. 🐺

hi! sorry for the late reply, i didn't know how to construct sentences yesterday e.e

yeah sometimes it's the perfect balance! i personally don't like fics that focus mainly on the filth? the plot has to carry the whole fic somehow and the smut is just something to add to the mix. also, i'll follow you on your writing blog! i keep forgetting to do so, damn it.

"sometimes putting someone in a situation so horrible it would be considered a violation of human rights is theraputic, ya know?" putting it this way just silenced me but yes. angst just feels more realistic. it isn't always happy endings irl so i tend to do it a lot.

falling into skz is so easy! it felt like that for me too. stanning them felt like getting sucked into a blackhole. also yes i agree. kpop is nothing but an industry after all and it runs on money so i get why they do what they do as well.

i suggest we not talk about haechan because i will literally not shut up but yes my boy is an ace :( chan is also sooooo easy to love. and the chan's rooms just solidified his place as ult. having something to look forward to every week at a time when my mental health was just plummeting into the depths of tartarus just helped me be stable. oh yeah, mingi's deep voice is indeed sexc. and he has some wack ass duality as well! and i think seonghwa was one of the people i nearly considered as bias just because of his visuals because wow that's one beautiful face. and true, idk how enha's going to beat border:carnival. i don't like all the tracks simply bc of taste preferenceds but i like more than one so i consider that a lot already.

bro that gym should've had some sort of a covered walk :// also i miss being in high school sO DAMN MUCH. but i still feel like i am because time stopped when quarantine started and i was still in senior year at the time.

my ateez bias is wooyoung! it wasn't that much of a shocker to my kpop stan irls because i was a jimin stan for the longest time. enhypen is jake and they kept pointing out that he looked like seungmin sometimes so it's like chan's aussie-ness with a tinge of seungmin (the other guy in my skz bias line, in case i haven't mentioned it). txt is huening kai! i find it hard to believe that he's my age because he looks a lot younger? o.O and he always looks good damn :(( sigh for blackpink it's lisa! i tend to bias the maknaes of yg groups, it's a pattern i've noticed but don't intentionally do!

DON'T WASTE YOUR TEARS OMFG. you can always reach me elsewhere if i like disappear off this blog.

What's your opinion on Jimin and V? They both infuriate me because of the way they handled things in the routes. I think Jimin gets a little bit better at the end of his route, but V doesn't seem too. He doesn't tell Saeyoung about his brother, just shows up one day Saeran in tow and is just like 'I'm back'. Even if Saeran didn't want to go back yet, he could at least told Saeyoung what was going on.

tbh most of my opinions on every mm character is that you just have to completely disregard how Normal ppl would act given that the plots of mm are so wild and unbelievable. on the other had though i get why people have qualms w certain characters for how they handle the plot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ eso si que es

But. as far as jumins route goes i think they just fucking did him dirty w it. with the second bad end/chats leading to it especially. I know it sounds weird to say given that it's his route but those few days are so fucking OOC for jumin. i mean I'll find my own ways to rationalize it bc it Can be rationalized if you care to, but not everyone will. because its fucking weird. not even the end itself but jumin leading up to it.

that being said i LIKE jumin and i like his route save for that. jumins hidden or has Had to hide his emotions and opinions his whole life. his father frequently brings new women in and out of his life, one of the only two people hes ever been able to trust has just committed suicide and he feels like he doesnt even Know either of them anymore, and then MC comes along getting him to open up making him Trust them again and hes worried something similar is going to happen. yeah yeah cat ran away whatever but to ignore what its ACTUALLY about is impossible. rika was one one of the only people and the only Woman he really trusted wholeheartedly as an equal and shes dead the cat she gave him is missing and being overprotective of MC is his one way of gaining control again. if I couldn't rationalize that though it absolutely would have skeeved me out from the get-go, though. so im not surprised Or affronted by the fact that ppl find it irredeemable ig.

now V. V is an even weirder story. he clings to rika from the moment they first met because dont ask me why. i dont know why. is she supposed to remind him of his mother? weird. is he genuinely just that nice of a person? probably. and rika is fucked. rika is traumatized and has been since young childhood. she suffers from what someone who doesnt experience delusions thinks delusions are or how they feel. whatever. and V loves her So Much that if she wont GET help he wont force her so hes going to do whatever He can to help her. until it goes really fucking wrong.

and let's all just be honest and say everything about seven and saeran and especially their backstory doesnt make sense. it ABSOLUTELY hinges on suspension of disbelief. but there are some aspects that do make sense. the stronger older brother in an abusive household is trying to keep himself And his sickly younger brother safe and sane. stumbles across v and rika and we already know mm doesnt Quite take place in our world as we know it and i know fuck all about typical korean life and families so I couldnt tell you why they didnt report their home life to the authorities from the get go. also this whole thing doesnt fucking make sense bc seven and saeran look like MAYBE 10 at this point and V is only 5 years older than them max but him and rika have obviously been together for a while and are Adults here. doesnt track. timeline dont make sense. angway.

but the way I see it is rika had Already started to plot mint eye yadda yadda here and knew that if the boys were separated she could control seven publicly as the stronger twin in a way that makes it seem like they're helping and protecting them both, they just have to be separated. seven can roll w the loneliness and grief of having to leave his brother behind as long as it means hes safe. and w saeran, she can use that same grief and loneliness to manipulate him a different way. behind the scenes. create her perfect believer who will do Anything she says because she saved him, why shouldnt she save everyone else? and j think by the time V realized just how bad rikas mental state was it was too late to Fix it. but he loved her he loved the RFA and the RFA loved rika. he didnt want to taint or tarnish her image w the reality of who she is what shes been doing etc.

after that it's a series of unfortunate events and fucking stupid decisions v thinks hes making for the good and sanity of everyone else. hes given himself a "I'm not a hero i just Have to bear all this by myself forever and fix it alone with no help and save Everyone in the end" complex that sure is with great intentions but leads down a rabbit hole of hurt and fuckery that he cant fix. ever. and I think he was worried about telling seven about saeran because if he had he KNOWS seven would have gone after him alone. and he would have been hurt or killed or worse. he would have been. and V was still trying to save whoever he could. save rika and Hope he could save saeran? save saeran and Hope he could save rika? who knows. I dont. I think V had the BEST intentions. i do. i think he was just a bit of a Rudely untrusting dumbass carrying them out.

but that's what mm is. MC is the character that is meant to push the characters into healing from their fatal flaw. yoosung is slipping from success because up to that point hes hinged his entire future on his older cousin. zen. i dont remember. has to find a happy balance between shooting for the stars but not hiding himself or who he is while doing it? something gay like that. jaehee pushes herself too hard to be successful. to not be a burden. to be financially and socially stable and safe above her own happiness. jumin is cold and untrusting and hides himself because the last time he wasnt/didnt, he got Hurt. seven is the same gay shit as jumin and zen with the added bonus of needing to learn that mc can make their own decisions wrt danger. v needs to stop carrying the world on his shoulders. saeran . . . needs to heal. learn that his life is not intrinsically tied to the lives of others and he can still love people but be his Own person, whole and healed. whether or not you the individual player believe that by the end of the route theyve gotten their first real step in the right direction is up to you.

anyway stream room 206 ep by elah hale on spotify.

i'm not the anon, but i do want to hear about your OCs!!!!!!! i'm bad with details but i vaguely remember you had these two gay bois and maybe one was a computer programmer or something?? idk but i think you had an art piece of him at a laptop,, anyway they were v cute

alright since i got a lot of gay boys i had to go searching to make sure i had the right gay boys sdhjfghsgsfg why do i have so many gay boys i do wonder mh

so im thinking u mean vince n xiaoli cuz of that piece of the latter

if not then oops u gon have to hear about them anyway uwu (im putting this under cut cause i tend to speak a lot and i dont wanna clog up people’s feed ya feel) if i got it wrong feel free to scream at me and demand explainations of other characters lmao

its em

Those two got a whole ass story (not a story about ass i just keep putting the word ass everywhere).

They were besties as kids, like, very young kids, talking inseparable besties. But, one day, quite suddenly Xiaoli’s family had to move back to China and so the two were seperated with no ways to contact or even ideas as to where the other was (factor in the fact that they were still very young and all, and if we take time into account that must mean they were in some time of barely no internet for everyone so prolly didnt have even emails tbh). The whole story i got planned for em is about how they grow up, evolve, yet still try to find each other again through the few pieces of useful information that they remember from back in the days. (and since im a sucker for happy ending it aint no spoiler that they do find each other at the end or smth like, pls, id die if they didnt. the important part is the path they took, and all the shit that happens in between ofc)

but who cares bout plot tbh, the important thing is the cHARACTERS (i kno cause my studies include storytelling classes so like bitch, i kno the story is the characters and all that jazz) so lets talk about the boys themselves some more, shall we uwu

Lets start with Vince, who’s the youngest of the two :

first thing i gotta say is that he changed a LOT design wise, like his first looks ?? wack.

who are you i dont know you u look rude im scared what happened to your hair ? so many questions

anyway now he looks like a baby and that’s all that matters.

(that was def done for a school exercise but look how cute he is awn)

He lives in the US, born of Ecuadorian parents. Ever since he was tiny he wanted only one thing, and that is to Win Gold at the olympics (yeah i know, small ambitions, what can i say he’s a realist at heart) for tracks (aint decided yet what exact part of tracks cause im not knowledgeable in track n field and i still gotta do my research boo bad me for procrastinating).

So he runs. A lot. That’s his main thing. A big part of his identity. But not all of it naturally otherwise he’d be a running robot not a guy.

He’s still very young so he can be a tad stupid, naturally. He’s also close to his family. And he big gay. He’s a friendly guy, the puppy type with others. He’s really big on listening to his friends vent out since he believes it does a lot to relieve stress (and ya cant be stressed if you want to perform amazing !!!)

He’s kiiiiind of an overachiever. Just a small bit. He wants to do perfect all the time, so he studies a lot, trains a lot, cleans his room, does his bed, brushes his teeth, he’s a Good Kid. He’s got a really strict timetable that he follows really closely, and in general, tends to monitor his life, maybe a biiiiit too much ? Even leisure time is a specific moment of the day, a set time, nothing more. Then he goes to bed, early, so he can get a full good sleep and go run in the morning. He needs to learn how to chill a bit more. He does have friends to help him get back into a more relaxed mindset sometimes, and once he reunites with his long lost bestie he definetly will have to accept a biiiit of chaos and imprevisible...

Cause let’s talk a bit bout Xiaoli huhuhu...

At first glance you may think “oh, what a reliable serious pretty boy, he seems nice and helpful” but he’s actually a sNAKE. Or more like a fox ? I’m no vet so I’m not sure what animal analogy fits best...

Fact is he IS reliable, and nice, but he’s ALSO a bitch. If you’re pal with him he’ll help you out with your homework, listen to you rant about a heartbreak, be a total sweetheart, but if you’re his FRieND then you’ll get that but under snarky remarks, teasing, and he’ll probably record you when you’re doing ridiculous drunk antics or just tripping over your own feet...

actually he def will do that.

He’s also very expressive and open, he’s one of those characters that i like to use for expression practice because his face will stretch in any possible way. He still keeps secrets tho, mostly he doesnt talk at all about his search for Vince (probably because he’s got the biggest lead, namely having randomly found him once through his running exploits and discovering his past bestie was now becoming some sort of “upcoming athlete celebrity you have to keep an eye out for” or something...)

He actually studies medecine, not computer science but tbh, I could change it in the future, its nothing fixed nor anything too relevant to his character dshsfsgs, and also he IS pretty tech savy so that’d make sense mh.....can you believe im gonna turn into those creators who take “fan theories” and turn them canon smh

He’s quite likes going out, partying and having fun. He values balance between work and fun above a lot of things, and he’s also not much of a big planner.

Also since I mentionned it for Vince, lets make it equal : he’s a HongKong resident, his mum is half Australian so that makes him a ? Quarterie ? Is there a word for half-halfie ? Idk man. And he’s very very bi, and quite chill about it, and quite absolutely into getting dates.

Those two got some potential for me to turn them into a story so i kinda hope i’ll be able to some time in the future, who knows, maybe that’ll happen somedays uwu

Eddie Gets A Bellybutton Ring HC

A/N: I’m reposting this because the first time I did, this didn’t how up on the Reddie tag. IDK why, but whatever. Obviously the characters are aged up. I imagine Ezra Miller as Richie and Timothee Chalamet as Eddie instead of Finn and Jack. Picture whoever you want, but you’re gonna be wrong. So sit there wrongly marinating in your wrongness being all wrong and shit. Also, there are two songs mentioned in this headcanon “Waves by Miguel (Tame Impala Remix)” and The Best Part by Daniel Caesar (feat H.E.R) which were the songs that inspired this whole HC, so I encourage you to listen to them when it gets to the part where they are mentioned. Or listen to whatever you want. IDC. I hope like! Viva La Reddievolucion!

So its the summer of 2018 and the losers had just finished junior year.

Eddie has been officially out since freshman year and mostly everyone is cool or just indifferent about it, except his mom.

She is always harping on him about “acting like a man,” calls him horrible slurs, and orders him to date girls.

Eddie is SICK of her harassing him, so he decides to do the exactly opposite and do something super gay as an act of rebellion.

So secretly he runs off and he gets a mother-fucking belly button ring! And not just any belly button ring, but a cute dangly one like this one!

At first he just did it to piss off his mom, but once he sees himself in the mirror with the ring, he kinda starts to love it? AND he can’t wait to show Richie.

Instead of just telling the Losers that he got the piercing, he decides to surprise them, so he sneakily suggest they all go to the quarry the next day for a swim.

The next day when they all strip into their bathing suits, Eddie makes sure Bev catches a glimpse, cause he knows she will make a big deal about it.

Sure enough, she screeches “OMG Eddie, is that a belly button ring!?”

“Yeah, ginger-bitch. Why? You jealous or what?”

“Its so fucking cute!”

Everyone is all over him, interrogating him, and touching it, while he talks about his motivations for getting it- everyone except Richie.

Richie is standing there stunned, astonished, speechless, dumbfounded, and a whole bunch of other adjectives.

Eddie had been on the track team ever since 8th grade, so he’s lost all the baby fat and is super tight and toned! Richie already thought he was super hot, but with that belly button ring? He was short circuiting!

This didn’t go unnoticed by Eddie.

Eddie loves the way Richie, his lifelong crush, is looking at him. So, he begins to flaunt his provocative piercing every chance he gets.

He’d do things like stretch, making his shirt rise and expose his belly button, making Richie blush and stutter incoherently.

He’ll change his shirt in front of Richie whenever he comes over to chill or study or whatever.

Sometimes he’d just lift his shirt and play with it or admire it just for the sake of fucking with Richie.

Richie fucking loves and hates that fucking piercing! On the one hand, Eddie looks fucking unbelievable, but on the other hand he hates that he can only look, but never touch. Plus all the inconvenient boners!

All the Losers know what the idiots are doing, but say nothing cause they’re both fucking dumb and gay.

So this goes on for months. Months of torture for both of them!

That is until one night, when Richie climbs up to Eddie’s window, but before he knocks, he gets a peak of Eddie dancing provocatively through a little gap in the curtains. He nearly falls of the roof.

Richie sneaks over all the time, but he usually texts Eddie before he heads over, but he didn’t this night. So Eddie wasn’t expecting him.

Completely unaware of Richie being there, he’s dancing around his room to Tame Impala’s remix of Miguel’s Waves, in those short shorts and a plain, but slightly sheer white tee while folding laundry and cleaning and shit. But he’s being super sensual about it, and would even stop occasionally to dance in front of the mirror.

He’d lift his shirt, exposing his piercing and do some belly-dancing Shakira ass moves.

Richie feels super guilty and pervy spying on him, so he taps on the window startling Eddie.

Eddie immediately deduces that Richie had seen the whole thing and at first is embarrassed, then kinda mad, but quickly gets over it.

He opens the window and pulls Richie in and asks him to dance along with him, like when they were kids.

Richie is still all flustered and awkward. This wasn’t like when they were kids, cause now there was romantic and sexual tension.

Eddie is like “Why are you being all weird and stiff? C’mon loosen up!” and Richie just mumbles incoherently.

Thinking it might help Richie feel more relaxed, he shuts off the lights, leaving the room illuminated by just the two vanilla scented candles Eddie had lit, the fairlylights draped around Eddie’s wall, and the light from the bathroom that seeped through the slightly open door.

It works, cause Richie starts to dance much more enthusiastically along to the music.

Richie and Eddie had always crossed boundaries with each other, and dancing was no exception. Eddie would grind on Richie, Richie would wrap his arms around Eddie.

This begin to escalate and they start teasing each other.

Eddie would link his arms behind Richie’s neck and lean in super close…so close their lips almost graze each other and just as Richie thinks he’s going to close the gap, he pulls away and keeps on dancing.

Richie retaliates by pulling Eddie in, twirling him around, and then dipping him, but keeps him suspended in his arms and also leans in super close. So close that Eddie is absolutely certain that Richie is going to kiss him, but just as he begins to pucker his lips slightly…Richie lifts him and keeps on dancing.

Eddie is pissed so he takes it to the next fucking level. He turns around and presses himself flush against Richie, his ass grinding against him.

Richie gets all stiff and Eddie notices, but decides to keep torturing his homie.

He takes Richie’s hands and guides them to his abs and silently encourages him to roam around his body.

Richie feels Eddie’s belly button ring with the tips of his fingers, while his hands explore Eddie’s upper body.

“Eds… “ Richie murmurs forebodingly, but Eddie ignores him.

He looks back and lifts his arm and cups Richie’s cheek with his right hand, while still dancing against him.

Richie dips his head towards Eddie’s and now their temples are pressed against each other, but Eddie has other plans.

He turns his head and gets dangerously close…Richie faces him with dark lustful eyes and also leans in. Their lips are almost touching…mere millimeters away from becoming a kiss.

Richie can feel Eddie’s peppermint breath ticking his lips, and his heart is racing, pulsating in his ears.

Eddie leans in one more time, but just as Richie closes his eyes, ready to finally kiss his best friend, after years of fruitless flirtations- Eddie pulls away and keeps dancing.

Richie could roundhouse kick Eddie through the fucking wall, he’s so pissed and sexually frustrated.

Then the song changes to Best Part by Daniel Caesar feat H.E.R. and they both kinda just look at each other, unsure of whether to keep dancing or if that would be weird.

But the song is perfect and everything Eddie feels for Richie… so he takes Richie’s hand and pulls him in. He links his arms behind Richie’s neck and Richie wraps him arms around his waist as they begin to slow dance in the dimly lit room.

They had danced like this before when they were kids. Eddie used to stand on Richie’s feet and Richie would lead them. It was cute and adorable, but this was anything but those things.

There was so much tension between them. So many uncertainties and doubts that kept them from each other.

At first Eddie’s head is pressed against Richie’s chest, but then he looks up at Richie through his thick dark lashes and Richie thinks he look absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.

“What are we doing, Eds?” Richie murmurs and sounds emotionally exhausted.

“What have we been doing?” Eddie counters with his own soft spoken question.

Richie looks at Eddie uncertainly as he scans his face. “Dancing?”

“No. Not right now. Before. All along. All these years …” Eddie seems almost sad.

Richie remains silent far too long for Eddie’s preference. He scours his mind for the right thing to say, but “Eds … I … I don’t know,” is all he manages out.

“I think you do know, Rich. I think we both know, but are afraid to say it.”

Richie just looks conflicted and hesitant to say anything.

Eddie decides to be brave. Braver than he’s ever been his entire life. Braver than when he kicked a fucking demon right in his dumb turd face. “Richie, I’ve tried to drop hints. I’ve tried to make my feelings known. I’ve tried to show you how I feel about you, but there is a line that I can’t cross. Not unless you want me to … unless you ask me to.” He’s staring at Richie’s lips now.

“What line?”

Eddie pulls his eyes away from Richie’s lips and loses himself in Richie’s chocolate eyes. “The same line we’ve been teetering on for years- just like we are doing right now, but I can’t do this anymore, Rich. I want more. I need more.”

“Why haven’t you? Crossed the line, I mean. Whats holding you back?” Eddie can feel Richie’s hand quivering against his waist.

“You’ve never talked about your sexuality, Richie. I don’t wanna disrespect you or ruin our friendship, by doing something you dont want.” Tears are beginning to pool on Eddie’s waterline and Richie’s heart is breaking at the sight. “I can’t do anything unless you want me to. You need to ask me to. That is the only way . . .”

Without a word, Richie leans in with his eyes shut and nudges Eddie’s nose with his.

Eddie is so close but feels a billion miles away all at the same time. “Tell me what you want, Richie. All you have to do is tell me.”

“I want you. I want more. I need more of you- all of you!”

That was all Eddie needed, he eagerly closes the torturous gap and finally kisses Richie. After a decade of agonizing pining, excruciating longing, and abortive flirting he finally kissed him. It was magical. Everything Eddie dreamed about and more. He never knew anything could feel like this.

Richie, too, is feeling like fireworks are going off in his chest. He pulls Eddie flush against him and intensifies the kiss. Eddie feels himself lost in it.

When they finally pull apart for air, they gaze at each other with huge smiles.

Eddie embraces Richie as tight as he can and Richie tightens his own arms around Eddie’s waist. They hold each other as tightly for as along as they can.

“What happens now?” Eddie asks into Richie’s ear.

“Be mine. All mine. Only mine.” Richie whispers back.

Eddie pulls away with teary eyes, but an amorous smile. “I always have been.”

They kiss once more, but this time it gets even more passionate.

They are so caught up in the moment that they don’t hear Sonia clomping up the stair and opening the bedrooms door to complain about the volume.

“Eddie! What is this!?”

They boys pull apart with shocked faces. They look towards each other, unsure of what to do or say.

Sonia just glares daggers at them.

Richie whispers to Eddie “Don’t worry, I got this babe.”

Eddie heart skips at the pet name for a quick second, but then he says “Richie, no wait dont-”

“Hey Ms. K. I hate that you had to find out this way but, I’m leaving you for your son.”

Sonia loses her shit, screams, and starts stampeding towards Richie like a bull and Richie pulls off Eddie’s red shorts and begins to taunt Sonia like a matador.

Eddie is all like “Richie! Mom! Stawp!”

Richie keeps evading Sonia with the shorts until he dangles it in front of the window and sonia charges and unintentionally flies out the window.

“MOM!”

“Oh shit… “

They look out the window, certain they were about to see a dead body, but are surprised to see sonia hanging from the tree right outside Eddie’s window, screaming at the top of her lungs.

Luckily her foot got caught on one of the branches and narrowly evaded death.

Eddie and Richie pause but then erupt with laughter.

“Okay can we go back to making out now?” Richie asks

“Richie we need to help her. We need to call 911 or something!”

“Fine, but after you call can we makeout until they get here?”

“Richie! … I thought that would go without saying.

A Long and Screamy Rant

So this is a rant dedicated to @apvrrish's fic (aknightley on AO3) 'calling me to come back', a gem of a fic and a sincerely gorgeous work. (If you haven't read it yet, go do it here and now!! Seriously, you won't regret it)

I was originally going to make this only about how I felt, but she writes so well I have to put something about her writing style there

Spoilers for the fic under the cut!!

1. Her worldbuilding

Literally once the fic started, I had such a good idea of what the shop looked like. Even if it may not have matched her mental image, it was so clear in my head (which is extremely rare for me). Apvrrish also does amazing descriptions, and it's like I'm actually living in the moment. It's so awesome!!!

2. Characterization

She nailed it. Completely and actually nailed it; bullseye after bullseye; on point. Shiro and Keith's relationship, later on Keith and Lance's relationship, Pidge (idk why I really liked the mental image of Pidge with a bun. I just did) staying up really late to help Keith, the way pIDGE CAN USE HER MAGIC THROUGH ELECTRONICS HDKCKSKCKFD

3. Lotor and Honerva/Hagar

Honestly, I was going to make this a side note on characterization, but this is so good it deserves its own topic. Honerva is so extra and I love it? I mean obviously it's not cool that she literally tried to kill Lance so that Lotor could go to a school. But that is something that she would totally do, and I can't really express my love for the all of this.

I also love the way aknightley wrote (or rather, mentioned) Lotor. Here's a beautiful beautiful quote: "Lotor was evidently interested in genetic science, something that Alfor specialized in, but Alfor was also specialized in avoiding people he didn’t care for, something Keith found enviable."

So maybe that quote doesn't focus on Lotor specifically, but it's such a GOOD SENTENCE. It wasn't the type of funny that would make me burst out into laughter, but the kind of brilliant genius that made me stare at my laptop screen and re-read that sentence five times, because it's that good.

4. While we're on this topic, QUOTES.

"Scrolling to a number that’s only labeled with a small bird emoji and a poop emoji, he texts, Can you do some research for me?" It isn't really the quote itself that I liked, per se, but the idea that Pidge's contact name is a bird and a poop emoji. That is perfect?? And I love it so much???

“Am I wrong, Sunshine?” Lance asks, tilting his head and smiling slyly." Lance calls Keith Sunshine. LANCE CALLS KEITH SUNSHINE OH MY GOD I CANT??? !!!!!!!

"You don’t need it to look pretty, Keith thinks, unbidden." Do I even need to explain here? Seriously, look me in the eye and ask my why I love this quote so much, I dare you. KEITH ADMIRING LANCE'S BEAUTY IS MY GODDAMN JAM

"“Sure, kiddo,” Shiro says, taking a sip of coffee with raised eyebrows." This. THIS!! The amount of pure goodness in this line is enough to make me cry. Shiro knows. Shiro knows!!!

"“Besides the obvious reasons,” Shiro says, raising his eyebrows. Keith gives in to pettiness and uses his magic to fling the pieces of cereal still on the counter at his face, grinning when they nail him directly in the nose." THIS IS THE GOOD BROGANES CONTENT THAT I LIVE FOR DID YOU KNOW??? Again, with characterization,, such perfection.

"“A customer,” Pidge says, doing air quotes. “A customer you dream about and who makes you go super smiley when he calls you on the phone.”" PIDGE KNOWS. SHIRO KNOWS. THEY ALL KNOW AND STILL KEITH REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. A GOOD TROPE. I VERY MUCH APPROVE.

"“So I guess I should -- um -- take this off?” He pulls lightly at the material over his chest and Keith feels his own face heat up." FLUSTERED KLANCE IS BEST KLANCE. NO, I DONT ACCEPT OTHER ANSWERS. THIS IS LAW.

"Lance leaned in close so he can peer into Keith’s face.

Across the room, a cedar branch catches fire." AGAIN. FLUSTERED KLANCE IS BEST KLANCE. NEED THERE BE ANY MORE PROOF? (Also, I hope all these quotes convey the immense love I have for aknightley and her writing)

“I’m going to have to buy her something very sparkly,” Keith murmurs to himself, smiling at the little heart she’s drawn next to her name.

Just,, sparkles!! ✨✨give Allura all the sparkly things 2Kforever please and thank you :)

“I’m good, Sunshine,” Lance says, stretching a little. “In fact, I kind of feel lucky right now.”

OHHHHHH BOY. THIS IS THE CLICHE BUT WONDERFUL TYPE OF THING THAT A HERO GENERALLY SAYS BEFORE THE BIG SHOWDOWN AND I LOVE IT A LOT??? ITS BEAUTIFULLLLLLL GIVE ME EVERY AND ALL THE CLICHE TROPES

5. Keith taking off his protections so that he could talk with Lance in his dreams

I'm probably reading way too much into this, but Keith literally let Lance inside all of his defenses. This is his how much he likes Lance. He stripped down all his protection that he's had for like, forever and let himself be vulnerable ALL FOR LANCE. I CANNOT BELIEVE,, THE SHEER EMOTION AND TRUST SHOWN IN THIS SCENE,,, UGH MY HEART

6. Similarly, the garden scene

This is Keith's private place. This is where he goes to remember his parents, and he let Lance come with him. Again, probably reading way to much into this, but Keith is actually letting Lance in? I mean it's never stated explicitly in the fic but I don't think Keith really goes around sharing the garden with people... wHICH MAKES THIS SO MUCH MORE SPECIAL HDJCKDKSKC I WAS LITERALLY CLUTCHING MY CHEST I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS

7. Keith giving Lance his mom's jacket

Keith didn't even let Shiro, his own brother, keep some of his parents' books from him. Granted, it was a different situation, but still. Keith is incredibly protective of anything and everything related to his parents, so the fact that he let Lance wear and KEEP his mom's jacket?? Is like the equivalent of other people literally ripping out their heart for someone else. The Klance here is absolutely wonderful.

8. The 'fuck your emotions' scene

WELL DAMN, APVRRISH, FUCK WITH MY EMOTIONS WONT YOU?? THEYRE BOTH SO GODDAMN SELF SACRIFICIAL??? LIKE LANCE I GET IT YOU LOVE HIM AND DONT WANT HIM TO GET HURT BUT DONT PUSH HIM AWAY LIKE THIS PLEASE,, ON ONE HAND THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH LANCE CARES FOR KEITH AND WANTS HIM TO BE SAFE BUT ON THE OTHER HAND 'FUCK YOUR EMOTIONS' LANCE QUOTES LIKE ITS NO BIG DEAL... stop taking both mine and Keith's hearts and stomping them into bits you HEARTBREAKER

9. "The bell, when it rings above Lance's head, still cruelly sounds like laughter."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. CATCH ME SCREAMING INTO THE VOID BECAUSE DAMNNNNNNNN. THE HOLY UNION OF BEAUTIFUL WRITING AND ALL OF THE FEELS IN THE WORLD. My eyes do not deserve to see the glory that is this sentence,, I had to give it a separate topic from Quotes because it was just. So good,,, Even now I feel like I'm not doing it justice, but it's so MIND BLOWINGLY AWESOME that I just can't. 👏🏻👏🏻 you did good, apvrrish.

10. Keith realizing he loves Lance

Need I say any more? Literally ALL I could dare to ask for. It's beautiful and I love it a lot. I also like how you didn't make it this big panicky moment for Keith, because honestly? Finding out that you're in love with someone isn't supposed to be all 'oH MY GOD WHAT DO I DO THIS IS BAD'. If realizing that you're in love with someone is bad, well, why are you in love with that person in the first place?

I kinda went off on a tangent there but anyways!! My main point- I really REALLY liked you portrayal of this scene and the way you wrote it. *swallows down the screams of the damned my emotional heart*

11. The dandelion

They're soul bound. They're soul bound, and Keith used a love spell thingy to track down Lance because he loves him and holy hell they're SOUL BOUND. I mean, the whole soulmate thing is low key overdone, not just in this fandom but everywhere. Yet apvrrish manages to put her own unique spin on the whole thing, incorporating magic and the idea of 'marriage bonds', which is really unique.

12. The idea of modern magic

Okay so I've been trying to go in chronological order but as I keep reading I just find this world so so cool. Most times there's a magical AU, the characters are somehow in the past, or it's a different world. But this, this is a combination of modern tech and somehow also these awesome magical abilities. There are potions with real life ingredients (certain types of wood, flowers, stones or minerals, etc.) and for realistic purposes. This is so realistic that I can actually imagine it happening, which is GREAT because it shows just how good of a writer that apvrrish is, but at the same time, makes me wish so so hard that I could be part of this world. Modern magic,, hdjckskc stab me in the heart with everything I've ever wanted, won't you?

13. “True love or some shit, I think,” Lance says cheerfully, and waves his hand.

Another quote too good for the Quotes section. He says this so nonchalantly?? It fits Lance's character SO WELL and so was really funny (idrk why it just made me smile a lot). Also, they're in LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE~

14. Red!!

Beautiful cat child is cute and deserves all the love. I ADORE witch familiars, and Red helping Keith out with the exorcism thing was really pleasing to read. Also,, Red and Lance interactions. The pLaYFuL bAnTEr between Keith and Lance. Hhhhhhhhhhhhh I love this so muchhhh

15. The ending

tHE ENDING, OH MY GOD THE ENDING. THEY LITERALLY RODE INTO THE SUNSET ON A MOTORCYCLE. IM CRYING ITS SO CLICHE BUT BEAUTIFUL??? ME, SOBBING? ITS MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK BECAUSE THIS IS A GORGEOUS CONCLUSION.

Also! "“Why not?” he says quietly, leaning back against Lance’s chest. “We’ve got time.”"

That. THAT. I've already said this in a comment on the fic itself, but this is so good it needs to be said again. This entire story has kind of a recurring theme of how Keith doesn't have enough time with his loved ones (his parents and Lance because of the curse). But now that he broke the curse, he finally had time to be all cutesy and happy with Lance because they have time. Lance is no longer in danger of dying, and so they can take the long way and enjoy life just because now, they can. Catch me screaming into the void again because THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

A last note- I found a song that kinda fits for this fic. The lyrics match the best, but in general the song is also super pretty!! So if you have time give it a listen because it's,, so good (jUST LIKE THIS FIC).

I still feel like all this ranting isn't enough to do this work of art and perfection justice, but anyways!! Apvrrish, continue being the awesomely amazing writer you are.

~Paladin

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - CCC1/2

I am pretty sure there is a a lot of inconsistency with how I have rated Star Wars over the years and how I actually feel and rank them from best to worst.

Not going to get into my opinions of the franchise as I have said it many times and you can just search for the original trilogy or my Rogue One/Force Awakens reviews to get it so I will get into my opening thoughts of the movie.

What can I say; outside of reintroducing Jar Jar Binks (which they don’t so don’t worry Star Wars fans) I don’t think Star Wars can do no wrong at this point. They really do have the midas touch right now. I still firmly believe this franchise is still riding on the prequel effect in that everyone is just glad Star Wars is back and not under George Lucas’s care and all they had to do was just walk over that ground level bar left from those prequels (though I will still stand by those films being “decent” but then I should review those movies and say my piece someday). That being said I do think after this movie the training wheels are off and rightfully so. With this movie I do feel like Star Wars The Last Jedi has now raised its bar up to a reasonable level to where I am very curious to see if they can surpass it.

youtube

Episode 8 picks up where the last the last one left off however this movie quickly divides up into three stories.

Rey has finally found Luke Skywalker and hands him his lightsaber. She wants to bring him to train her in the ways of the force and also to help both her and his sister Leia to go up against the Empire.....*cough* I mean The First Order. However Luke is not too keen on that idea and he is hiding something. Kylo Ren I wont say is trying to find Rey but is trying to link with her and persuade her to join with him.

Finn and a new character named Rose must set out to find a codebreaker in help the rebel alliance escape being tracked by The First Order lead primarily by General Hux.

Poe is with Leia on the run for their lives as well as what is left of the Rebel Alliance from The First Order. Poe is at odds with Leia and Vice Admiral Holdo in with how to fight back The New Order.

That is all I can say without spoiling the movie.

The good:

- As you would expect from a film with Star Wars in it’s name that is funded by The Mickey Mouse Empire (Disney) the money is on the screen. The movie is absolutely gorgeous to look at from front to back.

- The cast is absolutely perfect for their roles; I was more curious about how Mark and Carrie were going to fit into this new generation and how Carrie was going to finish her time in Star Wars as she has passed in this movie and I do firmly believe this movie is very much a tribute to her as she plays a big part of the movie. She is no longer the spunky young princess from the original trilogy but a stronger leader everyone looks to for leadership and deserves every bit of it. Mark/Luke’s story arc was very interesting; no longer the naive young jedi he is now almost the opposite in that he is a jaded yet still arrogant jedi with an emotional burden for his past.

I do think this movie was more Carrie and Mark’s movie than it was the new cast, I don’t think the new characters had much character development. Well they do but I think Poe and Rey had the biggest story arcs as they become bigger characters. Finn has an arc too but I don’t think it is as big as the others which is unfortunate.

- I have to say of all the Star Wars movies I have ever seen this one has the most original story and that is saying something but to me the hallmark of most Star Wars movies is a weak/simple plot that just moves with action. While this is still a action driven movie the story felt had a lot more weight to it than any of the other movies that came before it and I greatly appreciated it.

- With the action I sort of half like it so if anything I only give it a half positive mark because the action in it was the action was hoping to have in a Star Wars movie but primarily in the space battles.

The bad:

- Much of the bad is really just personal preference and while I am not really a Star Wars fan not he level of everyone else and while I thought the story was far more better than any other SW movie I still thought it was fairly generic. But again you don’t go to a Star Wars movie for a deep and smart smart story.

- The force battles in this movie really sucked in my opinion. After the Darth Vader scene at the end of Rogue One I was really looking forward to some really good force battles between people in this movie and wound up completely disappointed. Everything else about this movie that I dont like can be accounted for my dislike of certain things particularly Star Wars but the one thing hill I will die on that is a real weakness of this movie is the jedi/force battles. Say what you want about the prequel trilogy but the light sabre battles in those movies were all good and should be a litmus test for how they should be going forward.

- The half mark I think would be lack of real character development. Finn I felt was practically a afterthought in this movie and maybe that was the point, even Finn for the most part was ignored. This movie is mainly Leia and Luke’s movie I felt at least when I watched I watched for them but I expected this to be Rey, Finn and Poe’s movie for the most part and it really wasn’t. Maybe this movie was meant to truly be more of a torch passing than the other but still you spent The Force Awakens establishing these new characters and their place in this world only to nearly ignore them in the second is questionable to me.

Overall though I think all Star Wars movies will be very satisfied with this movie and all the fan fare it has gotten since it came out I would say is warranted because it is very much a true Star Wars movie, more of a true Star Wars movie than anything since Return of The Jedi I would say so it deserves it’s praise. This is not my favourite of the Star Wars movies but it is definitely one of the top three that is for sure. It delivers on the action (minus the force fighting), delivers not he visuals and delivers giving the old school fan service that one would come to expect but the biggest reason I think this film succeeds is because I think this is the Star Wars movie everyone wanted since The Phantom Menace. They wanted the right mix of nostalgia and something new. Highly recommended for Star Wars fans with out a doubt, chances are if you are a Star Wars fan you have already watched it. If you are the fence then it depends on what you want; if you want a cake with lots of delicious sugary icing and give a whole helluva sugar high then go for it, if you want more cake than icing then maybe wait till this goes onto Netflix. Doesn’t matter anyway because Disney is gonna make it’s money back on this regardless. I give it CCC1/2 on the Corey Scale.

My Unrestricted Opinions on Stranger Things 2

linking @capthawkeye as requested, im sorry this turned into such a rant :’)

First off, i loved the 80′s vibe in the first season and i still love it now its so damn good. One of those things i never knew i needed until i saw it. Like the theme song has to be one of my favorites of all time, it just captures the essence of the show so perfectly god dAMN.

But before i talk about the rest of the Good Shit i gotta get some stuff off my chest about this cause oooOOOHHHHH boy there was some weird shit with this season.

Problem #1.

Max served no purpose. I kept waiting for her and billy to like,,,,, do something??? Like max kinda just followed the boys around, and billy was an antagonist to steve, but like, for what purpose?? Its not even that i dont like them, its more that i dont care about them cause we weren’t given any reason to care about them. So if anything, i really hope season 3 does something about that

Problem #2.

Mike didnt do shit in this season either. I really liked his character in season 1, but in this one, anything having to do with him or his development involved him pining over eleven or some shit, and that was fine and all, it served a purpose, but i would have liked to see a little more of his development with other characters too. Like the scene where he talked with will, that was GOOD SHIT, i wish there was more stuff like that.

Problem #3.

The entire plot line with dart. HoLy FuCK. Dustin what the fUCK? Why are you keeping this horrifying lamprey-pollywog thing????????? Did you not learn your lesson about weird creature bullshit from last year? especially after you watched it sprout fucking LEGS out of the sides of its body??????? that shit aint natural!! And what the fuck are the chances of discovering a new species of that complexity in the middle of god damn iNDIANA? Amazon rain forest, i could see. Galapagos islands? For sure. But BOY sure as hell not in the middle of the US of A. But for the sake of argument, lets say he just got real excited and weirdly attached to dart (Which i know is what they were going for, but god damn that decimated the ever-loving shit out of my suspension of disbelief). So Will, obviously aware of the fact that he spit up a worm boy that looked suspiciously similar to dart. They even show us a got dang flashback. WHY THIS BITCH AINT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL ITS TOO GOD DAMN LATE?????????? ooooOOOHhh that really salted my apples, like i blame that shit 100% more on will than i do on dustin. And in the last episode where dustin meets full grown dart in the tunnels and then…..,,,, i dont even know what the fuck happened? ??? ? I thought the demodogs were a part of the hive-mind? Why was dart exempt from this? Like he physically should have not been able to break from the hive mind, heckin WILL could barely break from it. My ONLY guess is that Dustin left a bit of imprinting on dart as a baby worm, but like even thats a bit of a stretch for me.

Problem #4.

Love triangles. Ive never been a fan of them, and i likely never will.

Problem #5.

The overall ost for this season was not as impressive to me as the first season’s. Like i remember specific tracks from scenes in the first season, but i didnt get any of that with this one. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it definitely wasn’t that memorable.

Problem #6.

Ok, i fully realize this is 1 000 000% a me problem, but fuck this show for getting the Stalker Song stuck in my head. Now dont get me wrong, i absolutely adore The Police, theyre one of my favourite bands, but oooohhhhhhhhhHHHHHHH why is their most popular song Every Breath You Take? I remember when my mom first showed me that ear blood and she told me how it was mega popular when she was in highschool, and it would always be played as a slow song at the dances and i was astounded by this????? Its about this dude’s creepy stalker-attachment to a girl and ahhhh?????????? why was that a good candidate for slow dance music? Also i just think it sounds like shit, especially compared to their other stuff (actually i hate their entire Synchronicity album but thats completely unrelated to this). So knowing all this, i remember sitting there watching the snow ball scene and then it dawned on me that it would 100% be a possibility that the stalker song could play, and when it did i think i died a little bit. Like y’all couldn’t have played Every Little Thing She does is Magic??? thats the real good shit, not this schloppy garbage. The ONLY redeeming quality to this choice in song was that it acted as a really nice duality to the fact that the shadow monster is also watching every move they make as the lyrics suggest, which i thought definitely fit the song very nicely.

Ok now that i got that all out of the way i can talk about the Good Stuff

First off, id like to just acknowledge the fact that all these kids are such good actors? like holy shit, especially millie, so god damn talented, im crying

Every scene with Hopper and eleven were so good. Their character dynamic was so good. They played off each other spectacularly, and i hope we get more in season 3. Like they were hands down the best part of this season for me, no questions asked. The scene with eleven’s psychic tantrum was my absolute favourite, it was shot so well, the dialogue was perfect, you could understand why both of them were so rightfully upset, i just loved it.

Another spectacular scene this season was the one where joyce plays back the footage will took halloween night, and she sees the shadow monster outlined in the static of the tv screen. holy shit did that blow my mind. Gave me the same feeling as her communicating to will through the christmas lights last season, pure gold.

I also continued to enjoy all the dnd analogies they used, like True Sight was such a good metaphor for what they thought will was experiencing.

Just the entirety of episode seven honestly.

STEVE what a good father of five, i really loved his turn of character in the last season and he is such a wholesome person and im glad he and nancy broke up cause fuck nancy, she served a purpose but i never liked her character, she dont deserve steve.

I also was really not expecting to like bob as much as i did. he was just such a good-hearted person. I was also not expecting him to die. rip bob and rip joyce’s sanity.

THE AESTHETIC OF THE SHADOW MONSTER WAS SO SO GOOD HOLY SHHHHHHHH and i really loved the fake out where we thought will would be the spy into the upside down, and then it turned out the shadow monster was actually using will as the spy, that was goooood shit. like when the realization hits that will set up the trap for the lab guys in the tunnels, that was so so good.

Thats about all i can think of right now, the rest of it i thought was good, just nothing that stood out like above mentioned things. I may add more if i think of any

#stranger things #ooooooooppppsssss i did not mean to rant that long about the stalker song #it honestly didnt bug me that much #I just found it funny that out of all the popular 80's slow songs they happened to choose the one i have an unnatural hatred for #But besides all that i love this show and would recommend it to everyone #opinion

Eddie Gets A Bellybutton Ring HC

Obviously the characters are aged up. I imagine Ezra Miller as Richie and Timothee Chalamet as Eddie instead of Finn and Jack. Picture whoever you want, but you’re gonna be wrong. So sit there wrongly marinating in your wrongness being all wrong and shit. Also, there are two songs mentioned in this headcanon “Waves by Miguel (Tame Impala Remix)” and The Best Part by Daniel Caesar (feat H.E.R) which were the songs that inspired this whole HC, so I encourage you to listen to them when it gets to the part where they are mentioned. Or listen to whatever you want. IDC. I hope like! Viva La Reddievolucion!
