Bestieee if you're taking requests, could you write about dom! Gavi and like degr@dat!on. Idk why I'm so nervous writing this request lol but love your work xx
Okay so I know I have a lot of other requests in my inbox but I feel like writing a bit of smut today so that’s what we’re gonna do ladies. SMUT!! MDNI!! 18+!! IF UR A MINOR GO AWAY!!!
Hands on Learning
“Could you please not slam the doors?”
You looked at Gavi seething. Everything in the world was irritating you today. Everyone was breathing too loud. You had been caught in the pouring rain, slipping multiple times due to your heels. You had gotten coffee on your favorite white blouse, causing you to be late for an important meeting. But more than that, your coworker Antony was getting too comfortable with you again. He would lean his hand on you, put his arms across your shoulders, and call you “sweetheart” despite multiple requests for him to stop. He walked you to your car after multiple offers to buy you drinks, telling you that your “little boyfriend” could wait a little longer. As you told him to fuck off in the most professional way possible, you got the text from Gavi.
“Traffic accident on the road cause of the rain. Be careful driving home.”
It was a sweet message. He had checked your route and was now concerned about your safety. But you didn’t want it - not today. Today you were annoyed and this didn’t help. You didn’t want him to be nice. You wanted to unleash your anger on someone, but Gavi, sweet and loving as he was, gave you no reason to. So now you were speeding on the highway to Gavi’s, cursing yourself for promising to come over for dinner. All it took was this simple request for you not to ruin his doors to set you off.
“Don’t tell me what to fucking do.”
Gavi raised one eyebrow at the reply, watching you bend over to take your shoes off.
“Bad day?” He asked, trying to keep his voice mellow and understanding. Pablo Gavi was gentle by nature. He was not someone that enjoyed raising his voice or using harsh language. But when he got heated, all bets were off the table. He was ready to swear, yell, hit things - Pablo was the definition of fuck around and find out.
“I don’t want to fucking talk about it.”
Your shoes were off as you made a move towards the bedroom to get changed, not sparing a glance over your shoulder. A hand tugged your wrist, and you were pulled back suddenly, until you felt the wall behind you, a hand slammed roughly beside your head. You were caged in against the wall by Gavi’s arm, his eyes burning into you. His tongue ran along his teeth, and the “I messed up” feeling started to sink in.
“I don’t know who you think you’re giving that tone to, but you should know better than to use it with me.”
Your eyes met his, eyebrows still knitted together in anger, but the fear causing your body to tense and a knot to form in your throat. He brought a hand to your face, running his thumb across your bottom lip. A shiver runs through you, causing him to smile viscously.
“I don’t know what the fuck is your problem today. I frankly don’t fucking care. You’re going to learn today that little sluts like you need to have some respect.”
Pablo slams himself into you, lips bruising yours from the force. Teeth clash as you try to keep up with his pace, but it’s so much that once he pulls away your gasping for breath.
“Pablo, Pablo I’m-“
“What? You’re sorry now?” He narrows his eyes and spits out a laugh. The wetness between your legs continues to grow - you had brought out this side of Gavi before, and it was always the best fuck of your life.
“You don’t get to be sorry now, whore. Oh no. Little sluts like you don’t get off with an apology.”
He pulled you in by your throat, kissing you harshly as his fingers pressed into the flesh, cutting off the blood flow and making spots appear on your vision.
“Little sluts like you are too brain dead from being fucking into oblivion.”
He held your collar, pulling you into the bedroom. Your knees hit the back of the bed, Pablo’s grip the only thing keeping you from falling.
“Little sluts like you need to be taught lessons. They need to feel their punishments so they can remember.”
He placed his fingers on the center of your blouse, fingers slipping in between the buttons. You wanted to beg him to leave your favorite shirt alone, but you were too hazy from the thrill of Gavi speaking to you like this that you didn’t care.
“Because no one likes a cum dump with an attitude.”
He gripped your blouse tightly and pulled, muscles flexing as he ripped the short open, buttons rattling to the floor. It wasn’t enough. He placed his hands on the back seam, ripping it open as well. The tearing sound only make you more wet as he pulled the two halves from your torso, leaving your bra exposed to him. He pushed you back on the bed, fingers hooking into your skirt and pulling it down.
He kissed the “6” anklet that dangled off on you, looking up at you from between your legs. He kissed up your legs, placing a kiss on your clothes core. You whimpered, eager for more than just the light pressure of his lips on your panties. He slid an arm under you, and flipped you onto your stomach. He placed an arm either side of you, coming closer to your ear.
“Aw poor thing. Now you want to beg and cry? Now you want to let out those sweet little sounds that you know drive papi crazy. I hope you don’t think that’ll make me go easier on this pathetic little pussy.”
He kissed at the protruding vein on your neck, causing your moans to get louder and less restricted. Your ass arched up into him, grinding against his hardening cock.
“Such a good whore that you just grind into my dick ok instinct.”
He keeping kissing down your back until he reaches the hand of your bra, unhooking it quickly and letting it fall.
“Let me see those tits. How many guys have known how truly depraved you are? So hungry for this cock you can’t even speak.”
He leaned back up, grabbing your hips and grinding into your ass. He ran his hands on the tights covering your legs, grabbing them at the center. You waited with bated breath to hear the fabric rip, but it never came. You looked over your shoulder at him, eyes swimming with lust.
“Beg.”
He was looking down at you, smirking widely with his tongue in his check. His hand was circling your ass, feeling the warmth of the flesh beneath his palm. You buried your face in the pillow, your eyes burning and pussy dripping. You wanted him to fuck you, no, needed him to fuck you until you went limp. But you weren’t prepared to beg for it. A sudden smack landed in your ass, causing you to gasp and yelp in surprise. You lurched forward at the impact, falling forward onto the mattress. Another one landed in the same spot, this one harder.
“So fucking rude. So fucking stubborn. So undeserving of this fat cock. But you’ll die without it won’t you?”
Smack. Smack. A fist in your hair, tugging you upward to rest on your elbows again. Another hard smack, your ass getting redder with every one.
“You’ll fall apart if you’re not bouncing on top of m, pussy clenching around me. I bet your cunt is crying right now, wanting me to fuck it so bad. I know exactly what your dirty disgusting little brain is thinking: I wish Papi would fuck me to death.”
Tears were steaming down your face, more being created with every harsh smack to your ass. But you were so fucking turned on and aching, clenching around nothing.
“I’m not going to stop. Aggressive cunts like you don’t get mercy. The only way I’ll let up on your poor blushing ass if if you beg. So beg, puta.”
It took everything in you to muster some voice.
“P-please. Please please Pablo.”
His grip on your hair tightened, pulling you further back. Your scalp began to burn from the pulling.
“Please what? What do you want from me?”
You looked at him with puffy red eyes and swollen lips as he waited for a response. He lifted a hand to his ear, pretending he couldn’t hear you.
“Pablo please. I need you.”
“Need me for what?”
“Fuck me Pablo!! I need you to fuck me! Please please plea-“
Your begging was interrupted by the sound of fabric tearing, Gavi finally tearing your tights apart, the gaping hole giving him access to your panties .
“Look at how big this fucking wet spot is. You really are a fucking slut. Look how much you want to swallow this dick. You want it? How bad?”
“So bad Papi! So so bad. Please fuck me.”
At your begging, he pushed your head into the mattress, moving your panties, gripping them tightly to rip them in half. The pieces hung off in you as he ran a finger through your folds, feeling your wetness as he slid his pulsing erection into you with one hard thrust. You gasped out, gripping at the sheets.
He placed his hands on your hips, and started to fuck you with reckless abandon. Skin slapping was heard around the room, coupled with your high pitched moans and Pablo’s low, guttural gasp. He pulled you into him as he trust, cock hitting you deeply. He moved one hand up to grab at your boob, fucking you fast and hard.
“You want to cum baby?”
The question had you seeing stars. You wanted to cum around him so bad.
“Please papi. Please. Wanna cum. Let me please.”
Gavi smiled at how fucked out you were. You couldn’t even form a full sentence with his coco buried deep inside you.
“Tell me you’re sorry for being bitchy to me earlier.”
He smacked your ass again, and you cried out louder than you ever had. You were getting closer to the edge until he stopped abruptly, pulling his whole cock out except for the head.
“You’re a slut. I’m going to treat you like a cum dump when necessary. You want more than that? Fucking apologize.”
“Im sorry for being a bitch to you. I’m sorry I was a cunt when I walked in the door. I wanted to get fucked and I’m sorryyyyy.” You whined out the last part as Gavi brought a hand down, two fingers rubbing your clit.
His breathing got heavy as he resumed his rushed thrusts, and you felt like you were ascending to heaven. Your kissy clenched down on Pablo tightly, making it harder for him to thrust, but making every movement even more fucking amazing. His fingers were digging into your hips, bruising your hip as he fucked all his frustration into you.
“Papi I- cumming… please don’t stop please.”
He kept his pace as you came undone around his cock, moaning so loudly that the entire street could hear. He kept thrusting into you, helping you ride out your high. He pulled out, flipping you onto your back, before entering you roughly again. The overstimulation started to set in, bring a fresh set of tears to your eyes. Pablo was quickly approaching his own orgasm, head thrown back as he thrust into you fast and hard, and you swore you could feel it in your throat.
“Too much Pablo I-“
“Your slut pussy can take it. You want my cum? You want to be my pretty little cum dumpster? Come on baby, take it. Take it.”
You brought your hand to his chest, feeling his racing heartbeat against your palm. He took your hand, lacing your fingers together, and leaned over. His muscles were tensed as he punted you into the mattress. Be came shortly after, a guttural moan escaping his throat as he filled you with his warm load. Your head fell back, the sensation too overwhelming. He breathed deeply before he looked at your gaping hole, eyes widening as he watches his cum drip from your spent cunt. He uses two fingers to push it back into you, making you gasp, but you were too weak to move.
He finally laid down next to you, offering out a hand for you to cuddle into. You moved towards him, resting your head on his chest, enjoying the warmth of him.
“I’m sorry,” you mumbled, “for my attitude when I came home.”
He looked at you lovingly, kissing the top of your head. He clutched you closer to his chest, sleeping threatening to consume him.
“It’s okay, mi amor. You know I love funking that attitude out of you. Get some sleep now, we can talk in the morning.”
~~~
A/N: hey y’all - can someone explain why writing on this app makes me so incredibly sleepy??? Anyways, hope you enjoyed this degrading Gavi fic. I didn’t know if he had it in him until he stepped to Vini at the Classico. He for sure calls girls he sleeps with “sluts” but I’m all for it 😋 anyways, send me asks, leave comments, love y’all 🥰

Wedding Impossible | ep 7-8
It's been a while since I've watched a drama where a kiss makes me physically feel something. This one definitely did. And it had everything to do with the build-up.
You have Ji Han, who's been going through all five stages of grief re:his unwanted but very real feelings for his future sister-in-law. Invoking god and buddha. Folding paper cranes. Anything to stop feeling like a shitty brother.
And then the tables turn. He's told about Do Han's secret. Suddenly his hyung is in the wrong. Not because he's into boys but because it looks like he's using Ah Jeong. Everything is fair game now, as long as he can protect her.
Ah Jeong has also been busy crushing her feelings, after Ji Han's denial. She showed her vulnerable side, half-admitting that she liked him, and he shot her down.
She's a good actress but there's a difference between playing a role on screen/on stage, and turning your life into a web of lies. She's miserable, especially looking at her parents.
So we have repressed feelings on both sides. And the kind of exhaustion that comes from telling lies all day to keep up appearances. They even admitted that to each other on the set.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ji Han finally decides to be honest, with himself and with Ah Jeong. About his own feelings anyway. Even if he has an ulterior motive for telling her then, he's finally saying something true. And she is broken and mad. Because she's been working so hard at keeping up the lie. She made a promise too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But once the truth of his feelings is out, she can hardly pretend they aren't mutual and kisses him. And honestly, some of the best fictional kisses come after a big conflict. It has meaning. They're bridging that gap. They're embracing this love, in spite of it all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Other things I enjoyed ep 8:
the choice of having no soundtrack during the important scenes (the brothers' fight, the confession). honestly a badly-timed song can easily ruin a build-up.
they both seem a little startled at the reciprocation. like "oh so you do like me."
Ah Jeong's interlude on set where she remembers who she is for a while. How Ji Han is a genuine fan of hers.
What Ji Han told the ex.
Ji Han kept calling Do Han selfish but I hope he takes some of that back later. I know it was mostly cuz he thinks Ah Jeong is being used. But he's also hurt at the lack of trust and I mean, it's hardly easy to come out in a conservative society. There was no guarantee that Ji Han would be accepting. Though it's disconcerting that he never tries to gage Ji Han's feelings. Could be as easy as watching a movie with secondary gay characters in it? To see if he reacts? Idk.
I'm conflicted. We'll see how that goes.
It's kind of funny to think how bad Ji Han and Ah Jeong will look from the outside. Though I'm sure she'd take the worst of the remarks. But considering she's only leaving a fake relationship for a real one, and he's only admitting to liking her cuz he knows his brother's gay, the gossip will be BAD. And there's really no easy way to fix that. Only live with it or Do Han comes out publicly.
Ji Han will be hurt when he realizes what was really happening tho (the contract). Not looking forward to this conversation.
Hope their little trip to escape reality next week won't mess up with the pacing. Should be fun to watch tho!
Edit: just fixed the episode numbers, oops.

Bad Day=Binging ScarNash
I had an interesting day today. Not in a good way. So as one does in such a situation, I went back to rewatch ScarNash. Cuz they’re my comfort ship.
This is just me reviewing almost every scene of the episode so I can forget that life exists for a little while🙃
Today I picked 4x04. And goodness I do not regret it one bit.
Starting with Patrick and the fat goose line. I’m sorry but why did that have to be so damn funny. “My fellow punters…” and “copious amounts of whiskey”, with his very Frank expression shifted my mood from stressed to joyful immediately. And I only now noticed that as Patrick and Eliza leave to meet Carter, Eliza yeets a paper in Clarence’s direction (or at least she tried).
I applaud Clarence’s “shit the parents are gonna argue if I don’t step in” senses. We love him for them.
I’m gonna make a rare mention of William, but I felt so bad for him when Ivy started talking about her mom’s gout. If I was eating anything resembling her description, I would gag to no end. Ruined the poor dudes snack.
Watching Patrick panic is probably my favorite part of this episode. Bros just pacing up, down, round and round, trying to think of what to do. (He’s literally just me but toned down and with an adult brain 😂)
That scene at Fallons was perfect. That unanimous “who?”, and the cover up that “we do love a little gossip now and then.”. It’s adorable and funny to see these to be in such sync and in such odds as they are.
Also, idk if anyone else noticed but she’s holding his ARM in the stables scene?! How-wha-why did I not notice that?
Poor Fitzroy. He could’ve had a much nicer career with his father out of the way. He’s known for being his father’s son, this way he could learn to be his own man.
We gotta talk about that cab scene. Literally, Patrick was trying to make things better by saying “it’s not your fault they left”, and just made it worse by adding “it’s mine, I should’ve never left you in charge”. She looked so genuinely offended by what he said, only to be shut down cuz they were literally in the middle of investigating.
Then they just break into Fallon’s office like it’s nothing and start bickering about the resignations again. She said she didn’t fire any of them. And then she admitted to firing multiple. Which is great I guess. So… we have that. Then they just hop through the office when someone comes in. Like. They have no right to be this adorable. Why are they literally my grandparents on steroids.
Turns out the lines about Eliza sulking started in this episode, which clearly adds to why she’s pissed when he spends the entirety of 4x05 just telling her she’s sulking and she should not sulk.
Then we have scene where Patrick’s pacing again. And I don’t blame him for making Eliza nervous too. Like he said “good I don’t see why I should suffer alone” (which is a quote I’ve been using way to much in real life recently lol)
Clarence makes his grand entry with some food and the info that Gibson is here. 🙃
And I’m finally going to end on those last two scenes of them together (cuz I skipped William kissing Eliza)
Them blackmailing Carter was hilarious. I mean, we know both of them were hella nervous cuz he could’ve just gunned both of them down there but that’s whatever. I love the little voice moderations and the expressions Eliza and Patrick pass each other basically saying “he’s agreed, now let’s get the hell out of here before he changes his mind and kills us”
Then we got Patrick praising Eliza. That could’ve played out to be an even more heartfelt scene had Eliza not seen the time and ran off. He looked disappointed, but he seemed to let it go (unlike William would’ve as we know) , understanding she probably forgot to do something .
Makes me sad seeing potential like this being flushed down a toilet.

They’re an old married couple and I love that for them🙃

My Podcast Masterlist
I have a long commute, giving me two hours a day to listen to podcasts. Here is my documentation of all the audio dramas I’ve consumed plus a little blurb. I just wanted to organize them in a list and also (selfishly) get recommendations if anyone would be so kind. Or maybe you’ll see something that’ll interest you. Enjoy!
Podcasts I’m Caught Up With
The Penumbra Podcast: I’ve made an animatic for this one. I’m down bad. This is the one that sucked me into this podcast world.
Malevolent: Arthur dating sim when??? Everyone wants him. Also it took me way too long to find out it was an actual play podcast.
Red Valley: Gordon fan all the way. Normally I do like the Sad Boy but Gordon is that type of dorky that makes me want to protect him.
Caravan: Interesting world and love a main character that makes questionable decisions. Everything is going to be fine :)
WOE.BEGONE: I’m obsessed. It happened slowly but now I think about it every day… And the music is so good! Mike Walters is cringefail, bbygurl, easy to manipulate, and saws his left arm off at the shoulder.
The Cellar Letters: Legit gets me spooked at times. Steve and Nate are good vibes. I’m sure glad nothing ever happens to them.
Harbor: Love that Sam being a malewife ruined his life.
Rifted: Aurora, another Sad Boy to add to my collection. Daniel should give him a kiss to make him feel better.
Heroics: Pls come back some day… I need more Josh. He’s in his slay era.
Second Fiddles: Max is owning being a bbygurl. Also there are a lot of poop jokes which is weird but I’ll look past it.
Hand in Glove: idk anything about baseball but these baseball players are smoochinggg.
Find Us Alive: Lancaster in booty jorts. It's canon. Don't look it up. I'm right. ALSO HE NEEDS TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM PLS.
The Kingmaker Histories: The kiss is still the subject of much historical debate. Eisen <3
The Viridian Wild: It hasn’t been updated since 2021 but I still have hope.
Dos: After You: Ghosting GONE WRONG
Brimstone Valley Mall: SEASON TWO IS COMING. 90’s mall setting is really fun and I’m here for the thing Asmoraius and Trent have going on.
Levian: It starts off with a bang! Well not quite since his sister walks in oops. Excited to see where this pirate tale takes us.
Midnight Burger: Each episode is a delight and as someone who is bad at science, I appreciate Gloria and Caspar. Caspar pls stay forever and also Brodie <3
Return Home: I’m really listening to it for Buddy and DW.
Raythe Reign: Sometimes you need a yaoi.
The White Vault: At this point, I know what I’m getting into and yet still decide to get attached to these characters
The Amelia Project: Please don’t hurt the Interviewer! He’s too goofy for all this drama. I’m scared!
Fawx & Stallion: James Stallion being canonically hot in any situation is such a win
Victoriocity: Inspector Fleet has had a long week and needs some days off
Yokai Detective Agency: I’m always a sucker for detective stories and I’m looking forward to where this one is going
Desert Skies: Charming characters and love that the plot has a nice pace, not dragging things out
The Grotto: the music is so good but also please help. The emotional turmoil is torrential.
Camlann: Yo…. Dai, for real???
Podcasts I’ve Completed
Dash: This might not be completed? This is actually the first audio drama I finished. Classic noir but supernatural and boys are smooching!
The Two Princes: This was wholesome and had good vibes. I prefer the first season but it was still a fun time.
The Magnus Archives: Arrived late to the party on this one, but I love all the fanart. Awakened my interest in pathetic men.
EOS 10: I also am not 100% sure this is done but I enjoyed the shenanigans!
Wolf 359: Eiffel, my beloved. I liked the silly and dramatic parts of this story. It hurt my soul but it was worth it :)
Time:Bombs: noahdeaart's fanart made me think this was going in a different direction... Still a fun one!
Valence: Love this one WAAAAHHH! Pls listen. I love Nico. Sad Boy but hides it under their chaos energy.
The Bright Sessions: I would 1005% listen to a spin-off just about Mark. This Sad Boy keeps collecting trauma and I need to see him and Oliver maybe go on adventures or something. ANYTHING.
Roommates: I, too, had a pandemic college experience. It's kinda bizarre that there's already a story about that and I love it!
Look Up: Wholesome. Briggon Snow kept me fed.
Moonface: Appreciate having an audio drama from an Asian American perspective. Didn’t realize how much I needed that.
Murray Mysteries: Must protect Jonathan.
Kaleidotrope: More wholesome content. I got more into it by the second half. The hosts have a fun dynamic!
Re: Dracula: Still thinking about Inside You.
Wooden Overcoats: Rudyard is my fav. Chapman deserves the hate.
The Vanishing Act: this Rudyard wasn’t my fav. I was happy to listen to him suffer but also happy when he fell in love. A win for Griffson!
Greater Boston: Michael Tate <3
Ars Paradoxica: Nikhil Sharma <3
Podcasts I’m Catching Up On
Life with Althaar: I knew that plant lady was sus
The Night Post: Ashley……
Love and Luck: I’m on ep 87 now some magical things are going down
Going Lowbrow: I wasn’t expecting a musical but I’m not complaining.
SAYER: There are no bees on Typhon :)
WTNV: I got behind during high school and now I’m too scared to get caught up… one day. It's been so long at this point I think I'd need to start over.
BRASS: I fell behind on episodes :(
Not Quite Dead: If there are vampires, I'm automatically interested. Only a few eps in.
Hi Nay: I’m listening to Murphy respectfully.
Podcasts I’ve Dropped
Moonbase Theta Out
Dreamboy
Archive 81
The Sheridan Tapes
Jar of Rebuke
I’ll keep this updated every so often. Most of these I’ve found either from scouring rec lists or seeing nice fanart.
Please let me know of any recommendations you may have! Thanks for reading if you got this far. Mad respect.

ok this time there ARE barbie spoilers but it’s just the things i didn’t like so feel free to ignore this if you had fun and don’t want me ruining anything! like seriously, i do not want to make anyone upset here because of how positive the fandom vibes are. i just wanna y’know, air out some dirty laundry i have with what i just witnessed
as a disclaimer i’ve only seen it once and it ended like 40 minutes ago LMAO forgive me for any name mistakes i suck with those
- ken never got closure and i get what they were going for, just having a bunch of guys repeat “ken is me” over and over isn’t cutting it. felt this way with the “hi barbie” intro. like yes, i get what it aims to accomplish, but god does it get grating
- SOME of the fourth wall breaks were good. most were not. weird barbie and all the discontinued barbies were funny, and the drinking water gag was great. but the narrator stuff was WAY too prevalent and i get that it’s camp, but it was a tad too much at times. i’m torn on the margot line because it wasn’t necessarily bad, i just think it ruined the moment a little
- SO MANY UNFINISHED PLOTLINES OH MY GOD. you’re telling me the travel montage was all it took for gloria and sasha to bond and fix their issues? we saw their conflict through barbie’s memory link, it was never elaborated on. not once. suddenly by the end they’re getting along. the same could be about weird barbie? she always embraced the weirdness so the apology and “un-outcasting” felt off because a) it seemed like she was secluded by her own will and b) the barbies were never necessarily mean to her, they just acknowledged she’s different? which she knew and was okay with and self aware of? idk i guess an apology is fair, but the way it was delivered implied a deeper conflict we never saw
- mattel boardroom. enough said. i get will ferrell probably has a contracted screentime for funny gimmicks but it was so grating and a waste of time
- in a similar vein, all the travel montages combined probably take up as much time as the real-world scenes. for a movie that advertised barbie in the real world at a seeming first glance, that basically never happened LOL maybe that’s on me for having expectations though
- listen, LISTEN. i know there’s a lot of conflict right now with the “boo forced feminism” propaganda spreading around and i swear on god that isn’t me. HOWEVER. i do think that the way they went about resetting free will and that super long montage from gloria was not handled as well as it should have been. do i agree with everything said in the speech she gave? abso fuckin lutely. but remember, SHOW not TELL. they created this brainwashing plot device only to immediately dismantle it with one #girlboss speech which imo, undermines the very point the monologue was trying to make. i just wish they did more actual empowerment and not cheap exposition via a shenanigans montage and a third party speaker reciting a well constructed feminist rant which was just… INSERTED into a feel-good scene. i was hoping for something more organic but that’s just me. like, the barbie feeling self conscious was on the nose, but it did its thing. it’s camp i expected that. by this point in the film however, i expected more
- last thing for now: the plot was just a mess i’m sorry. the beginning was slow and expositional sure i get it, maybe it dragged a little too long when you consider everything else they tried to shove into the runtime, but for a typical film that would be a decent portion of establishing a plot. the real world segment? god, so many open doors, most of them were ignored. 99% of the real world was gimmicks and throwaway lines. the bench scene was the shining gem in that pacing dumpster. mattel plot we already know i don’t like, minus the ruth part. i have a lot of thoughts on ken patriarchy that i don’t have time or effort to unpack right now, but it was funny. and then it went on way too long and became annoying but not in the good way, in the “i get this is camp but it feels stupid” way. gosling killed that musical number but for a film about barbie, that was a hella long ken segment. like, this was a ken movie with barbie having existential dread in the background. then a bunch of magical fixits happen and suddenly all conflicts are resolved through magical means and cheap jokes and imaginary character development!!! oh but they gave barbie a pussy we unironically stan that for her (i’m serious lol like i think the joke was such a lame way to end the film but it’s funny enough to say that this whole film all barbie wanted was gender affirming surgery. i’ll allow it for sheer comedic purposes)
TLDR: i have many many complaints but i don’t think the movie is bad. it’s just fun, not particularly good all around. IT HAS GOOD MOMENTS!!! I AM NOT DENYING THERE IS SOME QUALITY HERE! i just think its hit or miss and while not every film has to be a feminist manifesto, i think all the hype and expectations definitely oversold the actual film i just witnessed because it was not particularly good. but it’s fun! and it’s okay to just enjoy that, this is my initial impression but maybe i’ll grow to like it more. just wanted to put this out here in case someone else feels the same way and doesn’t want to take the fall for finding it mid

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
HBCU!SHURI X READER
Tumblr media
prompt: shuri invited you to wakanda for the holidays, and you can’t help but feel homesick
warnings: cursing
note: IKK this is like two days after christmas but i’m posting it anyways LMFAOOO hopefully i’ll get part two out later today, if not then tmrw
this is not proofread so idk
Tumblr media
“so, what are your plans for the break?” your classmate, natalie, asked, trying to make conversation
you frowned at her question. although shuri had never hinted at it, you truly did hope she would ask you to visit wakanda with her. you knew she wouldn’t do that, but a part of you wished she would.
the night syniah’s friends ditched you was a night that remained in your mind. although you couldn’t remember too much from it, shuri filled in the blanks for you. and waking up to tea and breakfast made you finally confront the feelings you had been trying to hide.
the feelings that made your stomach churn whenever shuri smiled at you, or the electricity you’d feel shoot throughout your body whenever you two made physical contact. you were falling for the princess, to simply put it.
you were an overthinker, so when you started to wonder if shuri could feel the same, you shut the whole idea down in fears of ruining the entire friendship with your thoughts.
tati told you about the phone call she exchanged with shuri the night she took you to her dorm, which got into your head for a while. tati had you seriously convinced that shuri felt the connection between you two as well.
you thought you were being delusional, though.
“i dunno,” you replied to the girl after some time. today was the last day before you were officially free, so most of your class was free. shuri didn’t come to class, and you assumed it was because she was packing. “probably visit family.”
“oh. i though you was going with the princess to wakanda, or sum.”
your eyebrows furrowed in response. “uhh…why would you think that?”
“everybody thinks y’all go together,” natalie informed, tapping her newly done nails on the table.
this was news to you. you thought it was just syniah’s ex friends who saw it that way. “really?”
“yeah,” she confirmed as if it were obvious. “that girl don’t really be hanging around nobody but you.”
“that’s not true.” you shook your head.
“i mean, yeah. she’s in groups sometimes, but she’s only ever been alone with you. at least, that’s what i see. don’t mind my nosy ass, though.”
natalie’s last sentence made you crack a smile. but, her words really did leave you wondering.
as if on cue, your phone began to vibrate rapidly. you pulled it out of your purse before someone could start a fuss about it, but you were a bit surprised to see shuri calling you. especially when she could’ve just come to class to ask you.
clearly, you weren’t going to answer it in the middle of class, so you excused yourself and stepped outside.
“hey, shuri. where have you been?”
“i’ve been packing. hey, (name), could you come by my dorm later? i need your help with something.”
shrugging off her vague reply, you spoke. “umm, sure. do you know how long it’ll take? i’m gonna have to start packing, too.”
“it won’t take long. hopefully.”
“okay,” you giggled breathily. “i’ll swing by after class, which, by the way, you should be in.”
“you know a princess always has her duties.”
Tumblr media
shuri was pacing.
she had been for the past thirty minutes after you ended the call. she was extremely nervous.
she planned to ask you to go with her to wakanda. she wanted you to to as her girlfriend, but she felt that it would be pressure on you, which was the last thing she wanted to do.
a knock on her dorm made her jump, but stop going back and forth at once. after a quick glance in the mirror to make sure she was presentable, she twisted the knob and plastered a smile on her face.
the fake grin became real when she met your eyes and saw the beam that shone brightly on your face. you entered her dorm when she opened it even more, signaling that she wanted you to come in.
“hey, what’s up?” you greeted, walking past her to plop down on her bed as if were your own. “you said needed help with sum?”
the princess intertwined her fingers, evidently nervous, although you couldn’t see it due to the fact that you were working out your own nerves whenever you two made eye contact.
“yes, i do. but i need to ask you something first.”
you raised an eyebrow, remaining silent but egging shuri on too continue.
“you remember when you told me about your family wanting you to come with me to wakanda?”
you could’ve sworn that oxygen stopped going into your body the second you heard shuri’s words. “yeah, but, don’t worry about it. they’ll be upset, but they’ll get over it.”
“what if i told you i wanted you to come with me?” shuri would’ve stuck with that question, if it weren’t for her reading too much info your facials. “just for the sake of your family.”
you swallowed thickly. “well, um, if that were the case, i’d say yes.”
“well, then this is me asking you to come to wakanda with me. i understand if you wanna say no, since we don’t celebrate christmas-”
“no!” you interrupted her quickly. “i mean, i don’t mind at all. i’ve always wanted to see wakanda, so…”
naturally, you were nervous. after all, you were just a friend of shuri’s, and her taking you to such a private nation was a major deal. and for her to offer to fly you there as her plus one was a major deal to you. even if she said she was doing it for the sake of your family.
“good!” she exclaimed, clapping her hands together. “you should start packing now, since we leave tomorrow.”
“hol on, what?”
Tumblr media
“shit.” was all you could say as you took in the aircraft.
when you told you family that you couldn’t make it for christmas, they immediately knew why, and began to swarm you with demands and questions. you hung up, of course.
since you boarded the talon, the dora milaje hadn’t taken their eyes off you. of course, you couldn’t blame them, as you were a stranger, but, it didn’t exactly ease your nerves.
all they knew was that you had to have been special for shuri to invite you to wakanda so easily. maybe that’s why not a single one of them bought the act of you two being just friends.
shuri stood up from her seat next to you, noticing your uncomfortable manner. she walked over to the general, who was near the pilot of the talon, but she faced you. shuri stopped once she could get a clear view of where the pilot was going, and while she faced forwards, okoye faced backwards. “okoye, why so hostile? all of you have been eyeing her since she got on here.”
“i apologize, your majesty. but, you cannot expect us to remain unsuspicious.”
“she is not a threat,” shuri defended.”
“oh, i know,” okoye stated, a scoff releasing from her lips. “but she is not just a friend, either.”
“what are you suggesting, general?”
“you know what i’m suggesting, princess.”
with an annoyed sigh, shuri moved away from the doja milaje leader and back to the seat next to you.
to avoid tension, you cracked a joke. “so, do they approve?”
it took her a minute to understand your joke, but once she did, she offered a smile. “they’re a bit skeptical, but this is them being nice.”
“i’d hate to get on their bad side,” you joked once again.
“we are almost there,” one of the dora milaje you were told was named ayo announced. confusion washed over your features as you rose from your seat.
you walked to the front of the aircraft, looking at where you were headed.
it was just trees.
“i don’t understand,” you expressed your concern, turning to shuri for an explanation.
she wore a knowing smile, glancing at you momentarily. “i love this part.”
the ship was heading straight for the trees at full speed. you tried your best to trust shuri, but there was no sign of a thing for miles are your heart was already racing like you were running a marathon.
you instinctively gripped on shuri’s black coat to keep yourself from passing out.
just as you braved yourself for impact, the forest suddenly disappeared. you were rendered speechless as a large, beautiful, nation took its place. you released a breath that you unconsciously had been holding in for at least a minute.
once the panic had settled, you let the nation of wakanda sink in. it was…perfect.
as the talon zooms at full speed you get a clearer view of the city. there are trains surrounding towering skyscrapers that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
you let go of shuri’s jacket, not letting your eyes drift from the magnificent place once. “well, i see why y’all like to keep your country private.”
it’s when the jet finally comes to a stop that you officially realize where you are. not only that, but you also realize you are seconds away from meeting the queen.
“shuri.” you turned away from the view and to the princess who seemed to already be looking at you. “am i supposed to, like, bow to the queen, or…?”
“no, don’t bow,” she answered, although you weren’t sure if you entirely believed her since she was grinning from ear to ear.
one of the doras switched a lever, which opened the exit ramp and lowered it onto the ground.
despite it being below zero in atlanta, wakanda seemed to be the opposite. it isn’t too hot, but it certainly isn��t freezing cold.
the first thing you noticed as you step off the ship alongside shuri is how different the air is.
it was much purer, and felt a whole lot fresher. the next thing you noticed were the dora milaje lined up on both sides of the talon. as shuri came out of it, they did a salute that you weren’t familiar with. shuri acknowledged them, offering a polite nod.
you could see the queen open her hands so she could engulf her daughter in an affectionate embrace. their hug was filled with warmth that anybody could feel for miles.
the queen definitely got lonely occasionally since she had nobody in the family since shuri had gone off to college. the queen exhaled as she held onto her child tightly. “oh, how i’ve missed you, shuri.”
you couldn’t see shuri’s face, but you just knew her expression had to have mirrored her mother’s. “i have missed you, too, mother.”
once the hug was broken, shuri turned to you, grabbing your wrist to bring you closer so you stood in front of the queen. “mother, this is my friend, (name). this was the one i told you about.”
the queen had a suggestive look on her face. “ah, this friend. it’s lovely to meet you, (name).”
you wanted to be as respectful as possible. the last thing you wanted to do was offend the queen within the two minutes of you being there. “and it is an absolute honor to meet you, your majesty. wakanda is a beautiful nation, and i’m so grateful that you’re okay with me being here.”
“you are very special to my daughter, and she seems to really-”
“okay, that’s enough,” the princess interrupted, narrowing her eyes. “i need to talk to my mother, but aneka here will show you to your room. i’ll see you soon.”
Tumblr media
wakanda certainly knew how to make their guests feel welcome.
your room was in the palace, to your surprise. you weren’t sure where you thought you’d be staying, but you certainly didn’t think it’d be in a guest room across from the princess.
you didn’t actually know anyone except for shuri there, so you stayed in your temporary room while you waited for her to come.
“it’s beautiful, right?”
you looked away from the window and left your own mind to see aneka, who had not left since you arrived in the room. you never asked her to leave, to be fair.
“yeah, it’s amazing,” you agreed with aneka, moving away from the gorgeous view to approach her. “this whole thing y’all got going on here…no wonder y’all didn’t want the world to know.”
aneka’s lips twitched upwards slightly at your interest in her home.
“so how much of this place is vibranium? like the trains? or maybe the floors?”
she blinked. “everything.”
“oh, shit,” you cursed. “you mean this whole place is running on vibranium?” a nod from aneka made you raise your eyebrows in shock. “that is sick.”
the sound of three knocks at the door was enough to grab both you and aneka’s attention.
“it’s shuri!”
the dora strode to the door and opened it with ease. she greeted the princess and you waited patiently as she entered your line of sight.
“hey,” the princess greeted, sitting at the window next to you. “so, how are you liking wakanda so far?”
“it’s breathtaking,” you spoke truthfully. “your home is straight up art.”
she chuckled, giving you that annoying feeling of butterflies in your stomach. “it really is. but are you sure you’re not feeling homesick? you always talked about how much you loved christmas and since we don’t celebrate it here, i thought-”
you waved your hands dismissively. “i don’t mind at all. i think of it as a christmas present, actually. getting to explore a place as magical as wakanda.”
you weren’t entirely lying. you did feel homesick. it was almost christmas, yet there weren’t any decorations that gave you the christmasy feel you’d get every year. and as much as you hated to admit, you missed your annoying ass family too. you didn’t want to appear ungrateful, though. you really were enjoying your stay so far.
“are you sure?”
“shuri, let it go,” you giggled. “i’m happy to be here. one christmas away from my family isn’t going to be the end of the world.”
“okay, i’ll let it go,” she acknowledged. “maybe we can go explore the city now. i think you’ll love everyone.”
“i’d love that. but, i need to use the bathroom first.”
with that, you got up from the seat and entered the bathroom. once aneka was sure you were no longer listening, she turned to shuri.
“you’re not going to let it go, are you?”
“you know i won’t.”

the thing about mikoto of milgram fame is that hes like. okay. so theres a lot that cant be said about him yet because his 2nd trial hasnt released and wont be for quite a while and his music video and interrogation only tell us so much. but what they DO tell us is um. enough to say some things if he answered his interrogation questions honestly, we know he has a younger sister he brags about, his parents are divorced and his father isnt involved in their lives. in regards to his mother, he says that “she raised me. i cant let her worry.” he downplays his own interests/hobbies a lot. he said he played baseball in high school but that he wasnt good at it; he went to an art school but did so in order to go into business (though design was related to his chosen company) and says that he likes drawing but, again, isnt good at it. he says he hates working late nights but we see him pulling an all nighter at work in ‘undercover’. when asked why hes working his current job, he says he worked incredibly hard to even get hired, so its something to be proud of. finally, when asked if he ever gets angry, he says he doesnt. he says, “i dont think ive ever gotten angry before. isnt it disgraceful to get angry?” theres also the following milgram portal conversation (src):
Yuno: Hey, Mikoto-san. Don’t you get tired being so conscious of others all the time? I mean, you’re free to do what you want though.
Mikoto: Eh…… Aha, what are you talking about? I’m not being conscious or anything. It’s normal to make sure to get along with everyone, right?
I mean, when you put it like that, aren’t you the same, Yun-chan? You’re always smiling and getting on with everyone too.
Yuno: I don’t smile unless I actually want to. But with you, when you’re talking with other people it’s more like you only smile deliberately. So I kept thinking, don’t your cheeks get tired?
Ah, is this just what happens when you become a working adult? ……you see people like that sometimes.
Mikoto: Haha, you don’t mince your words do you.
…….that was never my intention, but now that you mention it, yeah, I guess I do. This might’ve been since I started my job too…… But like, if I was rude to everyone I met, all my efforts would come to nothing, right?
all these little things add up to paint a picture of a stressed and deeply repressed guy working a job he doesnt actually like (but he has to have a successful job he can brag about or his mother will worry) he thinks little of his own interests and hobbies and socializes more out of obligation than out of genuine desire. all of this culminates to um...his present situation... basically what i want to say is that i think its fine. also i think he killed someone and immediately repressed it but that incident is entirely unrelated to his anime brand DID and his alter. who aside from trying to whale on es that one time has only ever really showed up to be like “can you shut the fuck up. and get away from me. im trying to be normal over here and you are RUINING my life” or to pace around in mikotos cell in the middle of the night like a creature. i think mikoto 2 was entirely unrelated to mikotos repression stress induced rage murder but they might have cleaned up after him idk. we will see. mikoto wants to be a normal guy having a normal time and not worrying his family at all ever and never experiencing anything like anger or frustration at all EVER EVER!! because he has to set a good example for his sister and be the perfect son for his mom so she can relax. and he doesnt think he can do the things he enjoys for the sake of doing them. so what im saying is if he killed someone who cares. whatever. also we should all mass vote him forgiven/innocent just to spite kotoko after last nights birthday timeline post. AND because it would be funny as hell and the fandom flopped HARD voting haruka guilty/unforgiven. like god forbid girls have a little fun 🙄 btw its my firm belief that the tarot set we see in his mv (and i could talk a lot about the rest of the imagery used in that video but its almost 2am and ive rambled long enough) was designed by him during college. really funny to think about it like that. he does have one of the card designs (the. hangman, actually. i think) visible on a canvas in his apartment, partially obscured behind his couch at one point. so. lol

Do you have an unpopular opinion on one off the games Steve plays? Like you love one most people don't or dislike one most people like?
What game do you want Steve to play again?
Favorite part off Steve's streams now?
What streamers are you watching nowadays?
ooh these are fun questions! thanks for sending it in…
Do you have an unpopular opinion on one off the games Steve plays? Like you love one most people don't or dislike one most people like?
maybe this is an overall unpopular opinion but i find myself just not enjoying watching games these days? like i don't hate any really but i don't really miss anything that steve used to play except maybe uno. there are things i wouldn't hate seeing again (and i'll answer in later ?) but i don't know if i would enjoy it the same. i think it's just me getting older but maybe some others can relate. i find myself just watching for personalities i enjoy over the games they are playing.
idk if this is as unpopular as i think but i really don't enjoy among us anymore. i recently had an old morning lobby video recommended to me on yt. i don't remember what game it was but it just made me feel like among us should have never been played hyper competitively at all. it should have always been a party game. some of the old games are so uncomfy for me to watch now.
What game do you want Steve to play again?
like i mentioned i have a soft spot for uno. i truly think it's a perfect stream game. not skill based, no frustrating rng, good banter. it was great but i can also see how it would get old. some of the recent lobbies had certain people playing too competitively or playing for youtube content instead of for fun and that kind of ruins it for me.
i really enjoyed the gartic phone lobbies and would love to see the morning lobby do like a variety week and do different games besides among us. (codenames, jackbox, etc)
i miss seeing him stream with people who aren't baycon. even a valo 5 stack or duoing with someone else would be a nice change of pace once in a while.
also would love to see steve do more quiz streams with koji or whoever wants to join.
Favorite part of Steve's streams now? i like the little just chatting/advice segments with janet before baycon gets on. he's had a few moments recently where he has just chatted about movies, about what happiness means to him, etc, when we can see the cats, the good valo days are fun too idk
What streamers are you watching nowadays?
steve is still the stream i watch most consistently. i tune in most days but i don't always stay. i also like watching foolish. other than that i don't watch any streams consistently enough to mention.

So.... Thoughts on BAPC reboot? (Not couting lazy in space)
Personally... Kinda disappoiting, im ngl. Animation is very obviously GORGEOUS but like. It still felt... A little bland, something that i would NEVER say to the original. I dont really like comparing (tho lets be real the og IS MILESSSSSS BETTER) i guess ill just kinda try to criticize it on its own?
Is it watchable? Sure, its good if ur a first-comer actually, but. Idk. It just didnt feel like it was a show ABOUT Bee AND PUPPYCAT. its like he was just there, moving the plot forward and wasnt really a character. Seriously, there wasnt a single meaningful interaction he had with bee before her birthday, it was PAINFUL to watch.
Sorry, but that last moment where they chat about bee's favorite foods, colours, etc just... Didnt hit as hard! They BARELY KNOW EACHOTHER! or if they do, SHOW US THAT! they didnt exchange conversation at ALL besides some small talk, which was just SAD. Their dynamic was honestly SO GOOD!! THEY WERE BOTH 2 LAZY DOOFUSES WHO CARED ABOUT EACHOTHER, EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOK SO DIFFERENT!! THEY WERE PERFECT!! now Bee doesnt have a personality at all, and puppycat is just a sassy little bitch. I like sassy puppycat, but they forgor to give him any other features besides that💀💀💀
Thats probably what ruined it to me the most. Characters dont interact, we dont see them CARE FOR EACHOTHER, GROW A BOND TOGETHER, so how are we supposed to know they even ARE FRIENDS?
with bee and deckard its different cuz its stabilished they've already been friends but EVEN THEN, THEY ACTUALLY TALK TO EACHOTHER (tho not by that much either..) Bee and puppycat DO NOT INTERACT AS FRIENDS AT ALL. THEY ARE NOT FRIENDS HERE. WHICH JUST MAKES ME SO MADDDDDD OMG WHY DID YOU GUYS DO THIS!!! ALL FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING S1 SMALLER??? WHY!!!!!!!!!!
another thing is HOW FAST-PACED IT IS!! I enjoy me some fast paced shows but bap was literally the opposite of that!! Its supposed to be a relaxing, slow show! What happened with that? :( I wish i could say this doesnt affect the show BUT IT DOES. they really should've just reanimated it instead of rebooting it.
Now this is just me beijg a bitch but THEY TOOK OUT YHE MOST ICONIC LINES!!!!! THEY GAVE THE SHOW SUCH A CHARM YK??? THEY WERE SO FUNNY AND YK UNIQUE?? WHY DID THEY DO THAT?????😭😭😭😭
Not to say everything is bad tho, they didnt mess up Cardamon, he was pretty good. Kinda wish they'd shown him and sticky interacting just a bit more, and more of how hes dealing with the whole situation with his mother, but its fine, it was great. Also episode 3 is pretty good, but again, MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE INTERACTIONS WITH PUPPYCAT!! THEY HAD TO SHOVE DECKARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR BONDING HUH.......
(not to say i dont like him I ADORE HIM but cmon puppycat needed a LOT more screentime with bee :( not deckards fault tho, his story was also handled pretty good.)
Should you watch it? YEAH GO AHEAD!! its still entertaining nonetheless and animation is gourgeous!! Please go support it and GIVE IT WATCHTIME!!
But do i think og is better? Yea. It also had a lot of flaws but they were kinda shaddowed by their rights. But they have different good things too, yk!
Reboot had a beautiful animation style, it explained WAY BETTER why bee was fired from Cat Café, while i liked the sudden hints og gave about bee being a robot/Cyborg and puppycat being the space outlaw, i think lore-wise was better explained here. It explained some plot holes the og had, and MORE TOAST!!!!!!! MORE CASS AND DECKARD INTERACTIONS!!! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!
Buuuttt, og had WAY more charm, personality, more interactions, better pacing, way funnier and felt more natural and "easy-going."
BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION!!!!!!!! IF U WATCHED IT PLS LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK I WANNA HEAR ALL UR RAMBLES!!

chapter six: powers under control
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
.............................................................
[ over on mount wundagore ]
.............................................................
wanda looks around at the dark cave, in awe of the detailed carvings that decorated the stone walls.
"this isn't a tomb." she says as she drags her hands along the walls, "this is a throne!"
suddenly, the cave begins to rumble which makes both wong and wanda stop in their tracks. 3 big stone giants emerge from the darkness, their eyes glowing red, and they stomp over to the two humans. wong puts belshazzar, the mirror, down with a huff and begins to conjure up his powers whilst wanda just tilts her head to the side. the stone giants stop as they are right near wanda and kneel before her. the woman lets out a snarky chuckle at this.
"seems as though they are here to serve me." she smirks.
wong sighs as he lets his whip disappear, but before he could relax, red whsips of magic circle him and he is brought up into the air, being bound by his hands and his feet.
"what are you doing!?"
"making sure you don't get away. i need you here."
"for what reason? i have bought you to mount wundagore! why must i stay here?"
"DO NOT QUESTION ME!" wanda shouts.
wong flinches slightly, sighing as he knows there was no use in fighting back because it would either end up in him getting vitally hurt, or others.
one of the stone giants help wanda up onto what looked like an altar. then she uses her magic to bring the mirror over to her, placing it on the floor in front of her. she begins to idk what you would call it but basically use her powers to use the mirror to try and find where you and america where hiding.
"it will never work."
wanda's head snaps round to were wong was bound.
"what did you just say to me?"
"i said, it will never work. you don't have the abilities to see through belshazzar." wong answers without hesitation.
wanda growls, "you should watch your mouth, sorcerer. i am capable of MANY things, that you could never even start to imagine!"
wong just shakes his head at the woman's defiance.
the witch tried for a solid hour but to no avail. she groans loudly in frustration after the millionth try and throws the mirror across the room with her wiggly woos.
"there must be another way." she grumbles.
wanda floats off of her altar and towards wong.
"tell me what to do."
.............................................................
[ back at aggie's joint in peach pickett hill ]
.............................................................
"mothertrucker- WATCH IT CHAVEZ!"
"sorry y/n/n!"
you roll your eyes at the kid and continue to read agatha's old spell book.
"that's it darling! now try and think of a destination, that is safe of course, and once you open that portal, close it after around 5 seconds." agatha instructs and america nods.
aggie is having a very successful teaching session with america. she has been able to control her powers even more as the minuets pass on and is almost, soooo close to perfecting it. you were so happy for her, when she doesn't open a portal right over your head like she has done already 6 times!
you, on the other hand, had also had a good learning session with reading the spells. once you read a fast pace spell, you used it immediately so you could read the book faster. IT WAS 11,000 PAGES LONG so who can really blame you?
"alright i'm finished aggs!" you say as you place the book in her hands and she smiles at you getting up off of the couch.
"okay then, create a spell."
"like, right now!?"
"right now."
"as in, this very moment in time, right now."
"yup!"
"uhhhh okayyyy."
now agatha knew that it took years and years to create spells, and even the most trained witches and wizards could never perfect them easily. however, agatha knew you were capable of doing it, and once you did, it would only prove that you were in fact, the enchanter, even more than it already had been.
you begin to look around the room, hoping that something catches your eye that will give you an idea of what type of spell to create.
there.
on the small cupboard in the corner of the living room, you see the game shelf. you quickly grab the uno pack and take out the cards. after a bit of rummaging, you finally find the one you needed.
"i'm ready!"
"now remember y/n, concentrate on what you want the outcome to be." agatha says.
"you got it ma'am."
"good. america?"
"aggieeee?"
"be a dear and open a portal over y/n's head."
"NO!"
"sure thing!"
america opens the portal before you could register anything, though you were still quick to act. you through the card that was in your hand, up into the portal that was coming down on you and it glitched from over you, to over america and it closed up on the brunette instead.
you smack your hand over your mouth in complete shock.
"i never told the spell to do that! it wasn't supposed to eat mary!"
agatha chuckles, "no, you didn't, but america made for the portal to eat you!"
"ohhhhhh........" you say and the realization hits you, "MY SPELL WORKED!"
you launch into a mini dance party which makes agatha laugh, and just then, a portal opens up behind the tow of you and a winded looking america walks out of it.
"remind to never open the portal to the narcissistic-verse. NOT poggers." she says then slumps herself onto the couch.
"what was that spell anyways?"
"the uno reverse spell. pretty neat if you ask me."
"that is dope! you could defs use that against wanda! she would never see that coming!"
"right!"
agatha walks over to the two of you with a smile and she brings you both into a tight hug,
"you girls are my first students ever, and to say that i'm extremely proud of you is an understatement."
you gaze up at the older woman with a smile of your own, "aggs! we couldn't of done any of this without you! you were so patient and slow with us, it was a really easy process."
"yeah! what y/n said! you are THEE best teacher ever known to man- or witch- or multiverse hopper- or enchanter-"
you all laugh at that. sometimes, america could try so hard that she would eventually forget where she was even going with that sentence.
just then, you remember.
"holy hookers we forgot stephanie!"
"oMg i hope he isn't dead rn. that would NOT be poggers!" america says.
agatha raises an eyebrow in confusion when you run towards the fire place.
"this should work." you mumble and wave your fingers at the wood in the fireplace. low and behold, it did work! a burst of flames appear on the once fire-less wood. you squeal as you pump your fists into the air.
"woah! now that was defs steardy." america approves which is followed by an impressed hum from agatha.
you take a small bow before thinking deeply and then opening a portal to where strange was laying on the ground unconsciously. capey flies from off of your back and picks up strange, floating him over to the fluffly rug which aggie had materialized along with a blanket and some pillows.
you watch as capey lays your tutor down with a frown and fall to your knees. you brush your hand over stephen's forehead. you couldn't believe this was happening. if you never had decided to be so careless with america and go upset wanda, strange would be awake, wong would be here with you and most importantly, everyone would have been safe-
"none of this was your fault y/n."
agatha's voice breaks you out of your trance and you gaze up at her. the witch kneels down next to you and holds you close to her.
"all of this would have happened regardless, darling. it was just a matter of when, where and to who. wanda is heart broken, and she is driven by the want and need to find her boys. she's at the point now, were if you stand in her way, she will hurt, destroy and kill until she gets to her kids."
"b-but she k-k-killed all my h-homies at kamar-taj."
"she did. that is true. but, she is tunnel-visioned right now y/n/n-"
"i'm gonna kill her. in cold fu**ing blood. just like she did to the students and everyone else at kamar-taj." you growl.
agatha's eyes go wide, america's jaw drops and capey turns to you dramatically in shock.
"ain't no way in hell i heard that." america states in disbelief.
"oh yes there is. you know me and how i keep my word. wanda will wish she stayed in her stupid lil orchard hex."
"y/n/n, honey, are you sure that's what you want?"
"DOES IT SOUND LIKE I'M UNSURE HARKNESS? DID I STUTTER OR ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO GET ON MY NERVES!?" you scream making the two flinch away.
unbeknownst to you, your eyes had turned black again and you had began to float. a harsh wind surrounded you, making whatever was loose around the room, move around and slam into things.
though, you were so filled with rage and anger that you never noticed your change in appearance. but what you do notice is the change in the other two's expressions.
america has all the fear of the world in her eyes and agatha, not so much fear, but surprise in her's. you frown, now aware of your doings and you lower so your feet touch the ground which makes everything go back to normal, including you.
"i..... i-i'm sorry. i'm so sorry." you sob with your head in your hands.
this time, it's america's hands you fell rubbing your back to soothe you.
"hey! it's okay bestie. we know you're grieving and it sucks." she whispers and you glance up at her with a small smile.
"yeah.... but it still doesn't give me a reason to act out like that."
"it happens to us all kid, even me! that's what's happened to wanda. all that power has finally gotten to her head and now she's acting irrational!" agatha explains.
america frowns, "please, y/n/n. please don't end up like wanda! i don't wanna have to hurt my best friend."
you shake your head and hug the girl, "i won't. i promise mary."
"you know what? i think we're all just tired and it's making all our emotions go loopy. how about we go get some rest?" agatha suggests and the two of you nod in agreement.
"you girls go upstairs and choose a room. everything you need should be up there! though if i've missed something-....... summon it i guess?" aggie shrugs making you and america giggle.
"alright. thanks aggs!"
"i can assure you that mary and i will be sleeping splendidly."
"amen."
agatha chuckles, "well that's good to know. now hurry along! i'll stay down hear and keep an eye on sir good-looking and figure out what's knocked him out his cloak."
"good-looking is a stretch. stephanie is more mid."
"wait! what about your 40 winks aggie?" america questions and agatha grins at her.
"12,500 years darling. sleep is not really a necessity, especially when i'm a witch."
"OH alright valid. see you bonkos tomoz." america calls out, throwing up a peace sign as she walks away, pulling you along with her.
"woAh! okay! bye aggie!"
agatha turns to where strange was laying and raises her eyebrows.
"gosh! what a way to end the evening! i guess it's just you and me now mr cloak."
capey floats over to the witch and onto her shoulders, tugging her towards her library.
"what a great idea! i'll start preparing for ou plan idea sesh tomorrow! sleep tight stephen strange. hopefully you'll be of some good use to us when you do eventually wake up."

God idk how I ended up in so deep with The Legend of Heroes series but it’s like seriously all I want to do right now is play those games. I finished Azure earlier this week and started Cold Steel like immediately after and I just can’t get enough, all I want to do is keep playing.
From the snippets I’ve seen on reddit it seems like the fandom consensus is that Cold Steel I is one of the worst if not the worst of the series and I just don’t see it. Like mechanically it feels like such an upgrade over what they’d been doing since the first game without losing the spirit at all, I’m just having so much FUN with the actual gameplay itself, so idk what people’s issues might be there. I mean the movement is kind of bad but it’s an early PS3 game so that’s about what I expected.
A lot of people seem to dislike the pacing but I disagree with the complaints I’ve seen tbh. Trails in the Sky FC is absolutely the slowest of the games I’ve played, but that’s because it’s the setup game for the entire series. The slow pace with the sudden twist at the end is what the whole thing is about, and it’s really only the first half of what should imo be considered a two-part single game, but that is by far the slowest entry. And imo Zero, as the other setup game, has significantly worse pacing than Cold Steel. Zero takes forEVER to go anywhere, and feels incredibly disconnected from all of the huge stuff you’ve gotten used to at that point thanks to Sky. They have the epilogue for the Estelle/Joshua/Renne stuff but that thread, while satisfying, is pretty thin. It spends forever setting up Crossbell only for nothing of real import to happen even by the end. I think Zero gets a lot of retroactive good will because of how incredible Azure is, and how that setup is necessary for it, but I really think it’s just not good when taken on its own.
But the thing is, Cold Steel isn’t a setup game. I think that’s why people get upset and call it boring when they look at it as such. Because yeah, it introduces all these new characters (who I think are pretty good, at least so far) when you already know the game isn’t going to cover new ground compared to the end of Azure. But that’s exactly it. The game is idyllic, this almost slice-of-life adventure high school anime... Except you already know that horrific fucking war is coming for these children and it’s going to ruin their lives. It’s not a setup game, it’s an anticipation game.
Also Alisa is tsun so she’s immediately a way better default gf character than Elie ever was, I’ll say it.
Anyway this post was prompted by me deciding that I would rather play Cold Steel than watch Critical Role live tonight, since if I watch I won’t have time to play today at all, whereas if I catch up on Monday I can just not watch wrestling and have time to do both, and then I was like damn I’m super hooked on these games right now I should get my thoughts down.

Hello! Currently in love with Jigokuraku and found your blog through the tag. Your posts are like screaming what's in my mind, I could relate to your fangirling tbh lol. But I have some question in my mind, I don't know with whom should I discuss since I have no friend to talk about Jigokuraku 🥲
1. I read somewhere that Jigokuraku will have 13 episodes. Do you think it's long enough to compress all the things occured in the whole 127 chapters? Or are they going to be separated into several seasons?
2. Idk I have this feeling that Mappa would not show Yui's impact to Gabimaru that much in the anime and put more highlight in Gabimaru and Sagiri's dynamic? Because I haven't see much of Yui whenever they post any art on Jigokuraku official Twitter account. Most of it are our main characters. I know some studios who did whatever they wanted even if it's going astray from what's written in the manga. I experienced this with one of my fav. Anime where they dropped the MC's relationship with his canon couple and replaced it with their preferable ship as if it's canon, then it became very popular among the anime-only fans (I was really angry that some of them throw their hate towards this one female character because they think she ruined this popular ship). But hopefully they would animate it 100% based on the manga, I really fell for this simple romance between Gabimaru and Yui. Also, I don't want them to ruin Sagiri's melancholic side which is very adorable.
That's all from me. Sorry for my long writing and all the grammatical error. Nice to meet your blog, keep posting about Jigokuraku okay 🥰
Hi! 😊 Sorry for the late reply! I haven't been checking my notifications in the last few days. Thank you and yes, we can definetely discuss about Jigokuraku! I love this manga with all my heart!
To answer your questions...
1. I think there are going to be at least 2 seasons. Or rather, I think there SHOULD be at least 2 seasons. I think it would be great for the first one to end right when Mei appears but, considering the pacing of the anime so far, I think they're gonna end it before or when Lord Tensen have their meeting (I think it's in chapter 25 or 26?).
2. I 100% agree with you. I'm honestly satisfied with how Mappa is handling the relationships so far. I just hope they will continue in this way and not mess it up.

Hi! It’s 🌈 anon hehe! How are you doing recently! I hope your doing ok🥰
I wanna share this huge brainrot I had abt Nagisa, like it was in my head the entire time during dinner and now. Idk if you could tell by my previous Nagisa mermaid au request but I love different au stuff ⁄(⁄ ⁄ ⁄ω⁄ ⁄ ⁄)⁄
Basically I’m thinking of like an gangster x rich kid au, but instead it’s reader being the gangster and Nagisa is the guy who somehow got himself involved.
“…Where is Ibara? Am I in the wrong location again?” Nagisa pondered as he stood in front of a dilapidated house. This definitely wasn’t the location he was meant to be at. Nagisa could already feel his head aching from Ibara’s scolding and nagging about how he should have taken a car.
Nagisa made an immediate turn and was about to leave when he heard a small grunt. Nagisa paused. It can’t be anything important, what could be more important than preventing Ibara’s scolding? He was about to quicken his pace when he heard a loud thump coming from an alley behind him. Now that surely is not just a cat. He could have just ignored the sound, but curiosity got the better of him, so he backtracked his steps to take a small glance into the alley.
The first impression he saw of you was how bright your eyes were. The dark alleyway and your injuries did nothing to dim the fiery light in your eyes. They resembles a cat’s eye, sharp and cautious. There was a deep cut at the side of your left arm, with crimson flowing out from the wound in a constant flow, the side of your hair m already mottled from dried blood. The gang shirt you once wore was ruined beyond recognition.
“…is everything alright?” Nagisa probed. Suddenly, your body twitched, and you lunged right at him. The two of you fell heavily to the ground as you held a knife above his head, if it weren’t for his idol training, he was sure that he wouldn’t have been able to stop you. “Hey!” He shouted at he tried to restrain you, resulting in a small scuffle on the floor. “ She’s not thinking straight..what do I do in this type of situation…” Nagisa gritted his teeth as he struggled to stop you from gouging out his stomach.
Soon, you slowly calmed down and started to regain clarity. You stood up and was about to leave before you felt a grab on your leg. “Your just going to leave?” Nagisa panted. He spent an entire half an hour struggling to hold you down, and you were just going to stand up and leave? You didn’t even spare a glance and was about to make your way before you heard pained groans,
“…can you at least-”
“I won’t owe you anything,” You sneered, “who told you to be so weak?”
Nagisa slightly cocked his head to the side in obvious confusion,
“…I wanted to ask if you know the way to XXX cafe…”
“…”
-at the cafe-
“What is the meaning of this! You were not only more than 72 minutes late, but there is the presence and smell of a stranger’s blood! Would you care to explain yourself, Your Excellency!” Ibara shouted, showing Nagisa into the back seat of the car and driving towards the dormitory. “…I had an accident.” Nagisa replied, aimlessly staring out of the window. “This is why I told you…” Ibara started to nag, but this time, Nagisa ignored him and gazed out of the window. As the streaks of scenery passes by, his thoughts were soon getting drowned out, and his mixed feelings continued to be locked inside his heart.
IM SORRY IF THIS IS BAD😭 ITS MY FIRST TIME WRITING IN A LONG WHILE AND NAGISA FEELS VERY OUT OF CHARACTER😭 Nonetheless I hope you like it and I hope you have a slay day🌈
-🌈anon
SHAKES YOU
🌈 ANON!!! OMG UR SO BIG BRAIN!!! AND YES AU SUPREMACY!!! Omg the badass reader is so cool and THIS CONCEPT OMG. Omg ganster x Rich kid is something I never considered before!!
Ok but it kinda reminded me of like what if gangster reader and Rick kid nagisa often met secretly at night, climbing into each other rooms. So there’s a bit of forbidden romance especially since nagisa is an idol. Ur fic also reminded me of that one princess mononoke scene.
Tumblr media
^^
BUT 🌈 ANON DO U NOT HAVE A BLOG??? UR IDEAS PLS lmk your thoughts whenever you get any kind of thoughts I would gladly listen!!!

It's literally 5:34 AM here, and I have officially caught up on House of the Dragon... and idk...
On one hand, I LOVE that the sexual situation is toned down A LOT in comparison with GOT... the original show went overboard and it was heavily unnecessary most of the time. So the fact that I can actually watch the show without feeling heavily uncomfortable... I like.
The pacing of the show though... kinda bothers me. Idk. I feel like they could've gone more into Rhaenyra and Daemon's relationship. I think it went by a bit too quickly.
My main gripe is the casting switch. I HATE IT. Listen, the new actress is great at acting. But it's not HER. I don't understand why ALL the male actors have remained the same, but the had to switch the female Cast? Like??? Daemon hasn't aged a day meanwhile she has gone up 10 years. Or the king went up a good 40, yet still same actor. Make this make sense?!? Why? It's so unnecessary and stupid and dumb. You basically disconnected your audience from a ship you were building up, cause the chemistry that had your ship going was with the other actress, not the current one. I HATE IT. Such a unbelievable stupid move. I don't know WHY and HOW they thought this would be a good idea.
What I also hate? Being reminded and therefore triggered about the GOT finale. Specifically how they RUINED AND DESTROYED Jon's character arc and story, just so they can "subvert expectations" (f u). This entire thing reminds me of how they freaking ruined it and went off and did their own thing, while ignoring the books and the story. Since they keep mentioning the prophecy and Jon, which literally did not happen in the original show cause the dumbass writers went haywire and Rogue. it PISSES ME OFF. That prophecy should've been fulfilled and Jon should've sat on that God forsaken throne. But here we are
Needless to say, a good show on its own. Has pacing issues, but good. In context though, ANNOYING AS HELL TO ME. Reminds me of things that probably should not have been reminded of😩

Have i fucking ever given you a reason to think im a scumbag, think real fucking hard. After everything we went through, all the support, all the "love" and appreciation for eachother. I have been nothing but there for you. I have done nothing but try to be understanding towards you and patient. Sometimes we didnt communicate and it made things difficult, but was i a scumbag? Did i ever do anything to you or anyone to make you think i didnt try my best to be there or helpful or a good fucking person. I dont like drama, i dont hate anyone, i dont want to see anyone upset or angry, especially you. You deserve the fucking world, everyone does. So what the fuck happened man, what makes you think i was actually talking shit about you. Whos twisting my words or your mind and why was it so easy for you to disregard all ive been towards you over the past year. Best manager ive ever had and one of my best friends, you got me my job and ive been slowly recovering and pleased to be there. Now what, you think im so much of an asshole you guys banned me from the stores and were ready to press charges over something i said? What did i say, fucking call me and tell me. Cuz i dont fucking know. If you think i drunk talked to people i havent. I havent been drunk at work since you told me to never do it again, and that was when i was working for you. Drunk now? Drunk texting people at my job now? No, and no. Im about to go to work and be anxious about how everyone there probably thinks im a scumbag now, whole town probably lowkey thinks it because thats the kind of place it is. All regulars, lots of drama. If i wanted to make your life hell i couldve told everyone we fucking slept together, an obvious lie and we both know it but everyone else would question and talk about it. That would be a scumbag move. Would i? No, never, even now being as pissed off as i am. I respected your requests. The "dont text back, delete those posts, etc". I lied to him about kissing you, all of it to help try and keep your mental state okay while mine fucking broke. Ive only ever spoken highly of you at my job. Ive lied so much to the people asking why i quit working for you to save your image because i still fucking care about you. "I left because i didnt enjoy some of the people i worked with and it was just a stressful environment to work in, or just needed to feel like i was moving up in the world or needed a change of pace". You dont think im important anymore or am not a good person? Who are you. What the fuck happened to you man. We were good friends and you were so quick to toss me aside fucking multiple time. Getting past the "relationship" was a good reason to toss me aside. It def helped us both give up on that, but tossing aside our friendship like we didnt have one. Tossing me aside now, thinking ive just became an asshole in the past few weeks and am trying to shit on your life? Are you just saying all this to try and get past me or what idk man, if you are and care about me at all anymore then please fucking stop because youre hurting me even more. Like what the fuck man. Im so pissed off at you right now, and i should hate you but i just fucking cant and thats pissing me off even more. Forgive all my swearing to any christians reading this if anyone reads this at all, but i try to be a man of God and you know that too. So i forgive you for thinking im some cunt now. I forgive you for the emotional rollercoaster waiting for you to change was. You said you ruined my life, you didnt. You damaged me and broke me but i forgive you, im repairable. I still have my whole life ahead of me. I wasnt it, i wasnt enough, i wasnt the one, i wasnt important, everything you said i was, wasnt, even though you said you meant everything you say to me. Its all very clear to me now thank you. I forgive you. Youve really pissed me tf off though. Youve always wondered/wanted to see me get pissed off, well here it is, congrats you did it.
