sampo or gepard x pregnant reader (sampo is a bad father omg i jst know it imagine sampo not taking care of the reader because he is scared to be tied down to the reader so after like a few months of doing this alone she decides to go to gepard for help??) you decide who she ends up with
Well isn’t this interesting…and right up my alley tbh😂😂😭😭😭😭
Kept the ending vague so reader can decide.
And I changed it a bit in the hopes it would sound more natural lol
Cw! Reader is pregnant. Kinda cheating, let’s be real Sampo’s knocking you up and dipping, suggestive
-reader is pregnant with Sampo’s baby-
Sampo was a jerk. As soon as he heard the news you were pregnant you could see it on his face that he’d be sneaking out in the middle of the night.
Oh he acted happy for you. He smiled that pretty little smile, showered you with his pretty little words, and gave you all the pretty little lies you wanted to hear.
But the next morning you woke up to an empty bed. And you knew it was pointless to cry, but you did anyways.
A few weeks later, once you’re starting to show, you receive a knock at your door.
THE Captain of the Silvermane Guard: Gepard Landau, holding a poorly drawn wanted poster of your lover.
“There have been reports that you are sheltering this man,” the stern Captain says, his eyes purposely avoiding your pregnant belly. Some things are better left unsaid, unthought.
You tell him the truth, patting your stomach: “at one point,” you sigh, stroking your belly, letting your body language and the implications do the talking.
“Ah,” and when you look back up, the Captain is covering his mouth with his hand, looking positively flushed with embarrassment and awkwardness.
“Would you like to come in, Officer?” you ask after a moment, stepping aside to welcome Gepard into your home. Frankly, you were happy to give him whatever information he wanted if it led to Sampo’s arrest.
“I-Well…”
You bat your eyelashes at the Captain. He clears his throat. Gosh, he was cute. “Very well then,” he says, signaling to his men to wait outside whilst he speaks to you in your home.
You lead him to the living room, stretching yourself out on the couch. He opts to remain standing.
You told him what you knew. And you told him ALL about how Sampo left you the night you told him you were carrying his child.
Gepard was, frankly, appalled.
He left you his personal number, told you to call him should anything come up.
And a few days later…something did.
Guess who showed up at your door, sopping wet and pathetic, strapped for cash, nowhere to stay…
Your old boyfriend, Sampo.
“Darling~” he purrs with that familiar smile on his face, the one you knew meant deception. He spreads his arms lovingly and before you can dodge he pulls you into a hug, gentle so as to not jostle your baby.
“Sampo,” you murmur into his shoulder.
“It’s so good to see you, how are you? Doing well for yourself?”
You knew what he wanted. Just a place to lay low. You wouldn’t be surprised if he was being chased right now.
And against your better judgement, you let him back in. Back into your bed.
He’s curled up against you, using your pregnant stomach as a pillow. He hadn’t even acknowledged the little gift he had left you with. Not once, the Whole evening you were together.
He’s got the smuggest smirk on his face, like a man who thinks he’s getting his way. Little does he know you’re just one call away from having the Captain of the Silvermane Guard at your door.
And you’re about to call him. You’re so close. Until your ex snuggles himself a little further against you, stroking your stomach with his hands.
For whatever reason it send a jolt of hesitation through you.
Unfortunately for you, you still loved Sampo Koski. Despite everything.
You stroke his pretty blue locks, wondering what your baby was going to look like.
Once again he’s gone the next morning, his scent lingering on your sheets. You feel lonely. You call Gepard to let him know Sampo was likely still in the city.
At the end of the day, Gepard is at your door again, exhausted from frantically scouring the city for the wanted man.
He informs you that nothing came of the search, but he wanted to personally thank you for the information. You keep it to yourself that Sampo’s arrest could’ve gone smoothly last night had you said something then.
He treats you to lunch the next day, and you realize something truly terrible.
You’re in love with Captain Gepard. In love with his kindness, his awkwardness, in love with the way he opens doors for you and the way he offered you his jacket when he walked you home…
And especially in love with the way he joined you in bed that night, just snuggling against you shyly, promising he was going to protect you should Sampo come back. And you couldn’t help but smile at the thought.
So it became a routine. Sampo would come by every few days to spend the night with you, you’d send Gepard chasing after him…but you couldn’t go on with this double life for long.
You’d have to pick one eventually.
Stability? Happiness? A future for your baby with Gepard?
Or the thrill of it all, dropping it and risking everything for Sampo?
Landau or Koski…

Hey!
Why does Henry rebuff Alex during their first meeting? Like when Alex greets him, he walks away ignoring him.. What's the theory there?
I'm kinda new here and if this was already discussed or known, my apologies 😊
No prob! I like explaining things, even if it's obvious or everyone is like "we know already". My little neurodivergent brain gets happy when I make neat essays with GIFs and sections and whatnot lol
Post Writing Note: once again, this very simple question with a fairly simple answer turned into a fucking essay and I am so sorry lmfao, I know I said I like making them but I did not intend this to be a long one!! You have been warned!!
Foreword Regarding The Canon
I, and I assume most viewers who have also read the book, interpret the film's canon to be a combination of the film's events, and parts of the book that we didn't see, but could've happened anyway. Things like what was said in the emails, Bea's history with drug abuse, Pez' foundation, and whatnot are sort of meshed together with the film in my mind; just because the film didn't have the time to show it to us does not mean it did not happen in that version of their world. I say this cause I'm going to be discussing both the book and the film.
Also a key: Pink - internal dialogue from the book Red - Alex's dialogue in both versions Blue - Henry's dialogue in both versions
Establishing The Basics
I assume you’re referring to this moment during the greeting line:
Tumblr media
Side note: Alex’s face at the end never fails to make me laugh 😂
While this is their first interaction in the film, it’s not their first meeting, as they explain that they met at the Melbourne Climate Conference a few years ago. In the book, they met in Rio at the Olympics when they were teenagers. The only difference this makes is that they're more mature in the film than the book, but it doesn't change much.
The beats for how their first meeting went are practically identical.
Alex approached Henry to introduce himself. Henry, who was dealing with his grief and depression after his father’s passing, was an ass.
He looks at him unkindly; in the film, Alex describes it as: “like he had head lice”, and in the book, Alex describes it as: “like I was the most offensive thing you had ever seen”. Either way, he looked at him in a way that visibly communicated a dislike or lack of respect for him.
Then he turns to Shaan and says he needs to leave, though the wording is different between book and film. In the film, he says, “I need to get out of here” -which Alex mishears as "get me out of here"- while in the book, he says, “Can you get rid of him?”.
Tumblr media
Henry Meeting Alex
Admittedly, the line from the book is far more rude, but Henry does explain far later -after Alex storms Kensington Palace and they agree that they’re committed to being together- through an email what he was thinking during their first meeting. I see no reason for these thoughts to be any different in the film's context, as the reason for Henry's behavior is still rooted in his depression and trauma surrounding his father's death. They're also relevant to understanding Henry's behavior.
You might have seen edits or mentions of this email because it’s one of the most memorable.
Henry explains he had been dealing with his trauma by basically compartmentalizing the most impactful -mostly negative- events of his life into “rooms”. He puts those moments into “rooms” in his head, based on the layout of Buckingham Palace. He chooses which room based on how traumatic or impactful it was; two examples he mentions are losing his virginity in college, which he shoves it into “the smallest, most cramped little broom cupboard” he could find, and the night his father died, which he puts in “the biggest room, a ballroom, wide open and dark, windows drawn and covered”.
But when he saw Alex for the first time, he felt such a strong reaction that he took it “down to the gardens” and “pressed it into the leaves of a silver maple and recited it to the Waterloo Vase”. He quite memorably says, “It didn’t fit in any rooms.”
Then he describes what Alex looked like, and how he was talking to Nora and June, and how he was so animated, happy, and beautiful, and Henry was in a dark place, and felt like he couldn't experience life the same way.
Here's the most popular/remembered bit: "I thought, this is the most incredible thing I have ever seen, and I had better keep it a safe distance away from me. I thought, if someone like that ever loved me, it would set me on fire."
Henry basically pushed Alex away on purpose because on top of all the trauma he was experiencing, he was convinced he would ruin him, if you will, and that he didn't deserve someone like Alex.
Alex Meeting Henry
It's easy looking back with the knowledge we have now to wonder why Henry didn't just approach Alex, provide an explanation for his behavior (doesn't have to be his father, any justifiable reason would've worked), and apologize the very next time they saw each other.
But it's important to remember that this was their first ever interaction with each other. Henry was feeling a ton of different emotions, but so was Alex.
Alex is a smart, but stubborn, person. He develops very strong opinions fast, that may make sense, but sometimes fails to consider the alternatives. It's sort of like the two sides of his brain work at different speeds. He's very smart, but sometimes his emotional bias can blind him to fairly obvious things that would change his opinion.
For example, Alex sees Henry as rude, smug, entitled, and a snob, which are all inherently false notions. However, based on his one meeting with him, those aren't unfounded assumptions for him to make.
Tumblr media
If you look at it purely from Alex's perspective, not knowing anything about Henry's depression and the depths of his struggle with grief, Henry does act and sound incredibly rude to Alex. Giving someone a nasty look when they introduce themselves to you and then immediately requesting to get out of the conversation, screams: "I don't care about your existence".
Couple that with the fact that Henry is a white, blue-eyed (in the book), blond who was born into royalty, and Alex is a working class person of color who has had to run himself into the ground to get to where he is.
That is the perfect set up for Henry's behavior to be interpreted worse than just rude. All of that information can logically add up to the assumption: Henry is an elitist, racist, asshole.
Before They Met
Alex also secretly admired Henry when he was younger. This wasn't translated to the screen, but like I mentioned, it's something I think of as happening in that universe anyway, just slightly differently.
June gets a teen magazine for her fifteenth birthday; since June isn't part of the film's canon, I can headcanon that this was Nora instead, since she's sort of a combination of the two characters for the movie. All the details don't really matter, but I know someone would be like "but that didn't happen in the movie-" and I just don't feel like explaining that to each comment I end up getting.
There's a teen magazine with a picture of Henry in it. It's a candid picture that captured his actual essence rather than the stuffy pictures Alex had seen on the news. He describes it, saying, "there was a happy, sun-bright confidence to him that couldn't be posed".
Alex definitely developed an unconscious crush on him, not realizing it until later. He would keep going back to the magazine and to the page with him on it. He would touch his hair in the picture, trying to imagine how it felt. He considered prying the stables apart and taking just that page to hide in his room.
As his parents started getting higher in the government, Henry also became his role model. He wanted to match the easy confidence he seemed to have.
But then he met him, and the fantasy he had of him was shattered by how rude Henry was.
The tabloids and news are always comparing Alex to him, which he mentions in the film to Nora in the car. He resents the fact that he's compared to Henry when he has every advantage, if you will, but he also resents that he ever wanted to be like Henry in the first place, having convinced himself now that he was a fake, boring, obnoxious prick.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because Alex doesn't not know about Henry's dad, but its something he thought about more as a bullet point on his fact sheet rather than considering it any further.
Henry's depression is more explicitly explored in the book, since they have the time to go into all those details. He isolates himself, and has insomnia like he mentioned in the movie, but he also takes medication, and Alex makes a mention of a "tense little grimace Henry does in public" that he thought was him being aloof.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once Henry mentions his father's passing during their conversation in the hospital closet, Alex's brain puts everything together very fast. He's not stupid, and in the book even says, "He's been aware for too long that most people don't navigate thoughts of whether they'll ever be good enough or if they're disappointing the entire world. He's never considered Henry might feel any of the same things."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Antagonizing Each Other
However, that is all information Alex doesn't have at the wedding. They don't say exactly how many times they've spoken in either version, just that they have met a few times since their first introduction.
Alex, on top of dealing with the comparisons, is convinced that Henry doesn't like him either. The quote from the books is: "The most annoying thing of all is Alex knows Henry hates him too-he must, they're naturally mutual antagonists-but he refuses to outright act like it."
He actively antagonizes him whenever they are at the same event. It's implied in the film when Henry describes him as "the world's most irritating person", but the book makes it clear that Alex is always the one to attack first, if you will.
Tumblr media
As soon as Alex goes over to him at the wedding, we can see Henry visibly react in a way that implies he's bothered but has to pretend so they don't cause a scene. His expressions say, "oh here we go 🙄". Henry knows that Alex is going to pick a fight with him. It happens every time they run into each other.
Tumblr media
This interaction in the book is pretty iconic and it does a great job of showing what I'm describing. Alex gets drunk and approaches Henry and while they're talking, Henry notices. He suggests Alex switch to water after he makes a lot of rude comments about him pretending to be more important than everyone and pretending to hate the attention the media gives him.
"Should I?" Alex says. He pushes aside the thought that maybe the wine is what gave him the nerve to stomp over to Henry in the first place and makes his eyes as coy and angelic as he knows how. "Am I offending you? Sorry I'm not obsessed with you like everyone else. I know that must be confusing for you."
"Do you know what?" Henry says. "I think you are."
Alex's mouth drops open, while the corner of Henry's turns smug and almost a little mean.
"Only a thought," Henry says, tone polite. "Have you ever noticed I have never once approached you and have been exhaustingly civil every time we've spoken? Yet here you are, seeking me out again." He takes a sip of his champagne. "Simply an observation."
"What? I'm not-" Alex stammers. "You're the-"
"Have a lovely evening, Alex," Henry says tersely, and turns to walk off.
It drives Alex nuts that Henry thinks he gets to have the last word, and without thinking, he reaches out and pulls Henry's shoulder back.
You know what happens from there.
Tumblr media
Their conversation in the film is slightly different, but it carries the same beats as the book: Alex approaching Henry, he pretends to be nice while saying something rude, Henry starts retaliating against the comments, Henry tries to walk away, and Alex tries to stop him. In the book, Alex just stumbles when Henry turns back around really fast. He gets tripped up and starts falling, and just like in the movie, he grabs Henry to trying and keep himself upright. The icing on the jacket bit was added into the movie, which I have to say was a brilliant addition.
Back to their conversation, remember that Henry doesn't dislike Alex, rather he's had a crush on him since they met. But Alex has made his opinions very clear, and Henry is not a pushover. He doesn't engage him, but returns the energy he's given. When Alex is rude, he's rude back, but he doesn't start the fight.
I imagine that any attempt Henry could've made to explain or apologize for the Climate Conference/Olympics would have been squashed before he even had the chance by Alex's need to insult him. They also only ever see each other at very public events, so he can't ask why Alex doesn't like him; that's partly why he does it when they're stuck in the broom closet at the hospital.
They're completely alone and have nowhere to go, and it's probably been eating him alive every time he's thought about Alex for the last few years. Even if he doesn't like the answer, he knows that he will get an answer, so he asks.
Tumblr media
Why Does Henry Walk Away?
This all being said, back to the moment in question:
Tumblr media
The most common interpretation of this interaction is that Henry walks away because 1) he doesn't want to start anything, & 2) he has a raging crush on Alex, and he can't deal with it.
Now, Alex does start off playing nice here, being friendly and polite, but it's a reoccurring issue between them that even if things start off civil, Alex will end up antagonizing him.
They also both "know" that "the other hates them", so they both probably want to avoid each other.
Henry knows that Alex doesn't like him. He doesn't know why Alex doesn't like him, but he's well aware of the animosity. Therefore, he knows that Alex's politeness is a front.
He has a crush on him. He likes Alex, but he's gotten basically nothing but disdain from him since they met. That has to hurt, to have the person you like actively hate you. It also has to hurt knowing that they're pretending to be friendly.
Because Alex is pretending here. He's representing his mother, the President of the United States, at a massive foreign event. He knows better than to act up, so even if he doesn't like him, he is polite with his greeting.
After Henry brushes him off again, he's visibly pissed off, but he doesn't do anything. He avoids him. He stands off to the side, and sort wanders around alone, just drinking and feeling anxious. He has no intention of starting a conflict.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The only reason Alex approaches Henry is because he gets wasted drunk. This is the same in the book. While he was able to control himself before, once he's drunk, he just goes with his first impulses. One of those is to piss Henry the fuck off the second he sees him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The book says, "[Henry] looks politely half-interested in that obnoxious way of his, like he has somewhere else to be. And Alex can't resist the urge to call his bluff."
Tumblr media
This is to say that if Alex hadn't gotten as drunk as he did, he probably would've avoided Henry for the evening. Alex always seeks him out to provoke him, but like I said, he's aware of how important this event is. He does not want to start anything because it could reflect poorly on his mother. But Henry has no reason to think Alex will behave any differently than he has in the past, which he ends up being right about.
So to finally answer your question: Henry walking away was his attempt to avoid the conflict, as well as spare himself the emotional torture that would be watching the person you like be friendly with you, when you know it's fake and that they actually hate you.
Holy fuck, I could've told you that in two sentences but instead it turned into a whole fucking essay for NO REASON! Geez, just why? Why am I like this? lmfao 😭

summary: james finds out his sweet angel isn't so innocent after all.
warnings: talk of violence/murder, that’s really it
+++
James had always admired my purity.
I was something of an angel in his eyes. The light had finally entered the Hotel Cortez when I arrived.
Maybe it was the softness of my hair. My voice. The dresses I'd wear. The way I smiled. Maybe it came down to moments like the first time I tried his absinthe. The second the licorice-tasting liquid hit my tongue I was putty in his hands. Doe-eyed and complacent.
I liked to play up the pretty, girly aspects of myself to get his attention. I was his perfect little angel.
He was in love with the idea of a corruptable blank canvas.
I begged him to kill me. I did. Once the secret of the hotel was revealed, I suddenly felt a sense of belonging. Like I was meant to spend eternity in that dark, art-deco haven with the man of my dreams.
His transcontinental accent. The way he dressed. His chivalrous nature. He was a spitting image of my wildest fantasies.
He didn't understand my longing for a fate like his, but as his princess, I got what I wanted.
He made it quick and easy. Drugged, to preserve my beauty. I was to be his damsel in distress forever. His pretty princess living up in the tower.
Being dead, but also alive, came with its challenges. One of them being, namely, my family. They were worriers. They couldn't understand why I would up and leave my life to 'work' at some old hotel in LA.
The constant phone calls and messages became too much for me. I needed them to be able to see me in order for them to understand that I was happy where I was. That I was okay.
Obvious challenges came with that notion. James was all too happy to host them, though. Too happy.
He instructed every entity in the place to leave my family alone. He had Miss Evers prepare dinner and the most extravagant table setting she could muster. He even arranged a gold silk dress for me, topped off with a stunning string of heirloom pearls.
Everything was perfect. Until my family showed.
My parents and my three siblings made their way into the hotel rather…ungracefully. I told them to dress nicely. They did what they could, all things considered.
They, at their core, were rowdy, loud, and frankly insane.
The lineup was as follows: My father, Bruce, my mother, Margaret, or Marge, as she liked to be called, my twin older brothers Logan and Wyatt, and my older sister Ginger.
They couldn't make their way to James' suite without incident, of course. No. They had to walk in already arguing about...something. I'm not sure. It took both of my parents, with the assistance of Iris and Liz to get my brothers separated.
Upon stepping into the suite, I immediately heard a ‘it’s REALLY fuckin dark in here!’ from my sister. They really couldn’t find it within themselves to show a shred of decorum in a nice place.
I sat next to James at the dining room table, awaiting my family’s entrance. He sat at the head of the table, smile on his face. He was so excited to meet them. To understand more about his precious girl. He had his hand rested atop mine, eyes trained expectantly on the doorway.
Miss Evers’ figure appeared, then my father’s.
‘There’s my little girl!’ he shouted opening his arms for a hug.
‘Hi, daddy,’ I greeted with a warm smile, getting up from the table to hug him.
‘Wow, sweets, you look great,’ he said, admiring my outfit. Sweets was his nickname for me. My mother and sister filed in next.
‘What’s this, fuckin Halloween?’ my sister scoffed.
‘Nice to see you too, Ginger,’ I smiled. ‘Hi ma,’ I continued. 
‘Y/N!’ she exclaimed, jumping in the air. ‘There’s my little baby!!!’ She rushed over to me, making a point to pinch my cheeks. Logan and Wyatt made their appearance next, still arguing it seemed.
‘No, you dipshit it’s definitely a knife,’ Wyatt huffed.
‘You would use a fucking knife in that situation? Be serious right now,’ Logan replied, throwing his hands up.
‘Hey guys! Over here!’ I waved, reminding them they were arguing loudly in public.
‘Oh hey, Y/N,’ they replied in unison. That weird twin telepathy stuff.
We all took our seats at the table, my mother making sure she was sitting right next to me. She was the one who was most worried about me, after all. It was only fitting that she’d make sure I was okay by being closest to me all night.
James stood from his seat at the head of the table and the whole room turned their attention to him. He tended to have that effect.
‘Hello, Y/L/N family! Welcome to my hotel,’ he began. ‘I’m so happy to finally have you all here. My name is James Patrick March. And you all are?’
‘Marge,’ my mom smiled.
‘Uh, Bruce,’ my dad said, weirded out at the round-robin introduction James had begun.
‘I’m Ginger,’ my sister continued.
‘And they’re Logan and Wyatt,’ I answered for my brothers. They became embroiled in conversation as soon as my mother began speaking just seconds before. Easily distracted.
‘You all make such a beautiful family,’ James declared, sitting back down in his chair.
‘So uh, just to get this straight,’ my dad began, ‘you own this place?’
‘Mm, yes,’ James affirmed, taking a sip of his drink.
‘And you’re, what, to Y/N?’ my father continued to prod.
I couldn’t help but cut in. ‘We’re together, dad. Romantically.’ I knew James wouldn’t be able to put it into terms my family would get.
‘Her?!’ my sister scoffed.
‘Yeah, I can’t lie, I’m shocked,’ my dad laughed. I shot both of them the deadliest look my face could muster, but they continued.
‘She’s a grade-A psycho,’ Ginger said. ‘Y/N how’d you bag a classy guy like this?’ I hung my head in shame. I could have tried to stop them, but once they got going there was no going back.
‘You know, she’s a nice girl but our family is just, a bit unorthodox,’ my mom explained. ‘It’s just shocking to see her live in a place this…nice. And for her to be with someone, like you.’
‘Unorthodox? How’s that?’ James asked, smile still plastered on his face.
‘She started helping us with the, uh, family business, basically as soon as she was born,’ my mom continued. ‘She was a pretty scary kid.’
‘As she grew up she learned more and sort of, haha, became our little hitman. Didn’t you sweets?’ my dad added. I lifted my head and turned it to look at James. His eyes had lit up in a way I hadn’t seen before.
‘Yeah she’s the youngest but she’s the best at roughing people up,’ Ginger said, monotonously. ‘She killed her first at what? 6?’
‘No no, younger than that,’ my mom answered. ‘I think she was 4. It was that Goldberg guy, remember? Screwed dad out of 4 grand.’
‘Ohhhh, right!’ my dad said, laughing slightly. ��My little killa.’ He looked at me with such pride. He meant it endearingly, but I was so embarrassed. The fact that they’d willingly offer this information without being asked made me sick to my stomach. What would James think of me?
‘This is news to me…’ James purred, taking my chin in his hand. ‘She’s been quite the angel here. I was entirely unaware of her background.’ He smiled warmly at me. His eyes had a fire behind them. Ideas were brewing.
‘Oh yeah James. She was a little Wednesday Addams,’ my mom laughed. I cringed, knowing he wouldn’t understand that reference. ‘Just a scary little girl.’
‘Come on, Y/N,’ Ginger taunted. ‘You should show your new boyfriend your mad murder skills.’
‘Oh yeah, sure. I’ll slice up a guy’s neck. You want it now?’ I asked, obviously sarcastic. The whole thing was getting on my nerves.
‘How soon is now?’ James chimed in. I turned my head suddenly and looked at him. He was deadly serious about the whole affair. He seemed…ecstatic. ‘Something can be arranged. I would love to see this, hidden talent, my dear.’ His eyes flashed with what I can only describe as lust.
‘James,’ I pleaded.
‘There was a guy in the hall that gave us a funny look earlier,’ Wyatt said, breaking his twin bubble with Logan. ‘You could kill him.’
‘Wyatt, I’m not gonna kill just anyone!’ I protested.
‘I’ll see to it that he’s brought here at once!’ James exclaimed, subsequently taking a large swig of his drink. ‘But first, Miss Evers! We’d like to have our meal now! We have business to attend to afterwards!’
My secret was out, and James was about to take full advantage of it.

Haha! This was fun to write. Hopefully I’m over my horrible writers block now. Requests are back open so send em in!

Hi! I'm not sure if you're asks are open or not but I was wondering if you would do the one bed trope with Tommy Thayer 😂
One bed?!
Tumblr media
Pairings: Current!Tommy Thayer x Fem!reader
A/n: in this fic you’re a rhythm guitarist for Kiss on tour because your dad is Gene Simmons and he decided to give you the opportunity to be on stage. (It’s ironic cause my dad was also named Gene lol)
Warnings: age gap as usual (I actually don’t know how old Tommy is so if someone could let me know that’d be great but he is his age and reader is 25), little frisky but no smut, making out, Tommy has known reader since she was a kid but isn’t a pedophile obvi, kinda an uncle figure not really tho, and I think that’s it.
Summary: a shortage of available hotel rooms makes you stay with one of your biggest crushes of all time.
“Really?” Your dad asked the front desk lady, a little frustrated, a little mean. “I’m so sorry sir, but there are no more rooms available. You only booked four rooms-“
“I know we only booked four that was before my daughter was touring with us just, see if anyone made any cancellations?” The bassist asked.
The woman typed on the computer for a bit before scrolling with her mouse, eyebrows furrowed as she looked before looking back up at your father. “I’m so sorry Mr. Simmons.” Before your dad could say anything you cut in, “It’s fine I’ll be fine sharing a room with someone else.”
“Ok, share a room with me.” Your dad said.
“Dad, as much as I love you, you snore too loud.” You chuckled.
“What? I do not snore what are you talking about?” He tried ti sound offended but a smile made its way ti his lips.
“Uh, she can room with me.” Tommy spoke up. He didn’t know where he got this sudden courage from, to even think about asking Gene Simmons if he could share a room with his daughter. But they’ve been friends for a long time and he’s practically your uncle except not really. You’re not blood related and the longing glances the two of you share is anything but familial.
Your dad paused for a bit, about to say no but looked over to your and was reminded that you were in fact a 25 year old woman. “Yeah sure if that’s what she wants.” He responded.
Tommy looked to you for permission and you agreed.
Once you all got everything sorted out you and the other guitarist made your way to your guys’ room.
Only to realize,
“One bed?” You asked. It was a calm statement and part of you was feeling giddy about sleeping in the same bed as the older man.
“Aw, man. Hey it’s ok I’ll take the couch.” He said.
“No, it’s fine I mean it’s just sleeping together right?” He immediately caught on to your innuendo and bit his lower lip. Who knew you were so dirty?
Later on you ended up ordering room service and watching random tv shows. The two of you now in your pajamas since today was a rest day before the shows start.
You and Tommy laughed about something on tv when all of a sudden he shifted towards you. You turned your head to see his eyes boring into yours.
“Tommy?” You asked.
“Y/n, I hope this doesn’t make you uncomfortable or anything but, I’m glad we’re sharing a bed.” He said. Holy shit. He just confessed he liked sharing a bed with you?!
“Yeah, me too. I like you.” You replied,
“I like you too princess.” The nickname gives you butterflies.
“No like I like you. I want to kiss you.” You don’t even know where the courage to confess is coming from.
The guitarists hand went to your cheek, “Oh yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Will you let me kiss you, princess?”
“Yes please.”
Tommy captured your lips with his, the two of you moving in sync as he rolled on top of you making you lay down on your back. The two of you just making out passionately. And you never wanted it to end.

💚 Malenoa and Levan FanDesign Notes
okayyyy 4th post of me manifesting a reveal of Malleus DNA 😂🙏✨✨
this is based mostly on crowley is levan theory
• • • these are just mainly doodles and rambles ‼️
im. so. so. desperate for more dragons in this game. i hope u guys know that akdjkaksks cuz like,,,,, why did Levan had that eastern dragon title if he aint that....😭😭 I want it bcs its a nice reference to Halloween event!!!🐉💚✨✨
You know!! Like how Halloween event signifies Levan and GloMas signifies Malenoa (i think in terms of their clothing?) and those two events focused GREATLY on Malleus' character ✨✨
( this is my sketch design of him--- i wanted to draw Levan in the halloween costume ✨✨)
Tumblr media
I'm really fine with Crowley being Malleus' dad😂 (convinced myself to just cope with it if it came true 😂💥)
as long as the story doesn't write it off as like a silly thing or he's written off as a jerk who left Malenoa for milk (which is most of the memes correlating for this theory lol)
(i doubt TWST will write it off like this they will twist it very tragically for sure 😭 all for their best marketing boy Malleus yk✨‼️)
But uh, Princess Malenoa wouldnt actually fall for some himbo like Crowley right... KJDKAJS
PLUS YOURE TELLING ME CROWLEY USED TO BE A
1. FUTURE KING
2. HE GOT THE APPROVAL OF LILIA??? TO MARRY MALENOA???
3. THE APPROVAL AND SUPPORT OF THE FAE NOBLES AND COMMON FAES TO MARRY THEIR BELOVED PRINCESS
4. THE APPROVAL OF QUEEN MALEFICIA TO HAVE HER DAUGHTER⁉️⁉️
so being normal WAS an option dire crowley😭 what went down bird principal 💥💥
—
(i think Malleus got his expressions from Levan hehe and also his empathetic side who wants to connect with others)
Tumblr media
Also realizing that if Crowley is ever a dragon then his masking is on point because the crow mask covers his potential dragon scales and the silly hat can cover his horns lol
and if he's ever truly Malleus' father, i hope he has a tragic/good reason why he let him overblot and the best he could do before malleus snapped was order the students --who are obviously inferior to Mal-- to stop and fight him😂😭💥‼️
—
Tumblr media
I realised that since Princess Malenoa is their leader in military, there's a chance that she was also in charge of designing Land of Briar's military gear--
Plus!! We know Malleus designs clothes for Groom Lilia!!
So, that means she's the one who dressed up Lilia's general garments? 🥺✨
Thus, the design I thought of her is like a mixture of Malleus' Masquerade Outfit and Lilia's General Outfit ‼️✨
I put roses on her horns bcs I love the thought she's connected to roses-- its more like a decoration on her headpiece, kinda like what Maleficent wears in the live action.
I think Maleficia and Malenoa are more welcoming in displaying their draconic features rather than hiding it like Malleus. Because that's what you really do as a dragon fae and its more comfortable✨✨‼️
also bcs i think Malleus scales are so pretty (only for him to hide it behind his bangs💔💔💔) like honey... why are you hiding them aaaa (bcs he doesnt want to look more scary right...) 😭 I still hope he actually transforms into a dragon, i dont care if hes going to be so overpowered that we'll need 20 turns to empty out his HP‼️💥💥
I desperately wish Malenoa and Levan are sweetly in love because when the scene comes where both of them perishes its going to hurt real good in my heart knowing they wouldve been the sweetest parents for malleus 🥲😭💔

The drama is a non-romance drama. But the relationship between Qiu Qingzhi and Li Bing is more romantic than mere hetero romance CP. Tbh, the back story of Qiu-Bing is really fits the childhood sweetheart CP. Li Bing was an obedient, rather quiet child before he met Qiu Qingzhi, but then Qiu Qingzhi bent him. Li Bing became more of a lively person and carefree. As they both grew up together, they were like an inseparable pair of a spoiled Young Lady (Young Master, LOL) from an aristocratic family and a reliable bodyguard who pampered him a lot. Maybe Qiu Qingzhi only did his duty as a servant in Li family. Maybe he did it to pay Li family's kindness as he didn't like to owe others. Or maybe it's because Li Bing's poor health. Or maybe, deep down in his heart, he secretly developed feelings for Li Bing. When he was with Li Bing, he looked happy. I wonder how many times he carried that spoiled Young Master on his back.
Note : unfortunately, they cut this sweet scene! So unfair! Kudos to Wei Zheming. He's so strong that he can piggy back Ding Yuxi so easily like he weighs nothing. Xiao-Ding is so slim. His waist is really small that even women might envy him. But xiao-Ding is a tall man! I don't really think that he really weighs nothing.😂
Tumblr media
Qiu Qingzhi is a confident man. He studied & cultivated himself hard, not only for himself, but because he wanted to be a strong man who Li Bing could lean on. However, Li Bing is still the unreachable moon for him. The said Young Master is always out of his reach because of the huge gap between their social status. Even if he knew that the kind hearted Li Bing never treated him like a servant, but an equal of himself, Qiu Qingzhi still felt that he wasn't worth him. I believe that's the reason why he wanted to join the army. Li Bing half jokingly told him not to come back, if he wasn't a General yet.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Qiu Qingzhi gave his dagger to Li Bing. It's his precious item. At first, I thought that he left it, so that Li Bing could use it to protect himself when he was away. But there's no need to do so. Li Bing was safe in his mansion. His father and his men would do their best to protect him since he was the youngest child (sadly, he's also the weakest) in his family. Therefore, I wildly guessed that it was a love token from Qiu Qingzhi. In folktales, the husband/boyfriend would give a weapon to his wife/girlfriend before he went to join the battlefield as a token of love. Look at the way Li Bing touched the dagger so fondly. Li Bing also gave his pouch to Qiu Qingzhi. Somehow, I recalled that the wife/girlfriend would sew a pouch and insert a charm in it and then give it to her husband/boyfriend, wishing that her husband/boyfriend would return home safely.
Qiu Qingzhi did his best, turning himself to be a "monster" in the battlefield to prove himself and partly to make Li Bing's dream come true, so he could proudly come back to Li Bing. Sadly, that's when the cruel fate showed its fangs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the rest is history. Qiu Qingzhi only wanted the best for his precious person in his heart. He's a selfless who wished nothing, but Li Bing's happiness. Even if he needed to sacrifice himself.
The sad thing that I thought about their relationship was Qiu Qingzhi gave the medicine that could make Li Bing turn back into a normal human, but in the end, Li Bing didn't use it. In the Netherworld, Qiu Qingzhi would wait for his Li Bing to cross the Naihe bridge together, so that they couldn't be separated away when they reincarnate to the next life. However, his long time waiting would bear no fruit since Li Bing was immortal after he became a Demon Cat. It's kinda ironic. Back then he was going to die soon because of his incurable illness when he was young. But then after Yi Zihua transformed him into a Demon Cat like him, he became immortal. Yi Zihua managed to live a long life. Li Bing would do too, unless he stabbed himself with that dagger which Qiu Qingzhi gave him (as a love token, LOL). His time was endless.
Just how long for Qiu Qingzhi to finally realise that Li Bing would never come to the Netherworld? I wonder if Qiu Qingzhi would cross the bridge alone later once he realised the fact that Li Bing didn't eat the medicine? I bet that he would cross the Naihe bridge without drinking the Mengpo soup in order to keep his memory about Li Bing, so in the next life he could still find his Li Bing.
Ding Yuxi is naturally pretty. He cried beautifully, just like a pear blossom bathed in the rain; a weeping beauty. His snow-white hair made his appearance more outstanding. Ethereal beauty. His acting is really amazing in this scene. Wei Zheming did great too! They both are great actors.
Somehow I thought that this scene was like the bitter scene of a helpless ML and a weeping beauty FL in hetero romance drama. 😅 Argh! I read and watched too many BL!

First thoughts TTPD:
What a lana x folklore girlie win this issss!

2. TTPD- not so hahahaha anymore IS THIS ACTUALLY A FUCKING MATTY HEALY ALBUM??? There was a typewriter at the 1975 show she performed anti-hero at? Unless its somehow about harry?

7. Fresh out the slammer- god she gets it. Like sure he was great and he is still my biological father and everything but as a decidedly melancholy person myself who has constantly had atleast one close friend in a deep depression I can see how all that heavy lifting can just get heavy at some point especially when youre a partner and their sole lighthouse in wtv storms be out there buffeting their mental health.

She said aight love letter era over I AM WRITING YOU ALL HATE MAIL AND I’M HAND DELIVERING IT. Shes sooo done pretending to be the relatable girl next door when she’s anything but and is now reminding us of it and yes yes yessss girl OWN ITTTTTTTT.

She is not your girl next door. You will never understand her life. She is as much a phenomenon as a person and we literally only see as much as she allows us to and honestly if i have to get put in my place theres noooo better way to have it done. Im having such a great time actually. 10 BILLION TRILLION OUT OF 10 you tellll em girl you FUCKING TELL EM.
14. Smallest man who ever lived- not going to speculate on who it is bc they clearly had a serious problem and its not a joke but damn :/ thats so sad :/ hope they get help? Didnt expect this to be what the song was about at all?
15. The alchemy- she said TRAVIS IS MY BOY WITH HER WHOLE CHEST😌 10/10

Hiya, Bunny! I hope you've been doing well! ✨️ I'm curious about how you see Jio 👀 I was wondering, do you have any headcanons about him? It can be about him as a friend, a boyfriend, a husband, or a father! ^^ Any sort is welcome!
Spicy, too, if you have some, hehe... Honestly, out of all of my favourite bachelors, he's the one I have the most sussy thoughts about 😅
I keep on reading his marriage dialogue in the files, and I really can't move on from his sweetness 😂 Oops, sorry for the long rambling! 😅
Have a good day! 🙏🏼✨️
HEYYY NIM !! 😽 i hope u have been doing good too ily
JIOOOOO omg of course i have to have some thoughts about him he is my Favorite ridgeside bachelor as of right now (i haven’t married shiro yet LOL)
anyway,,
jio. what a man. a sweetheart.
a complete and utter SAP !!!!
putting the cut here because it’s so long omg 😭 it’s sfw until the bottom there will be another warning !!
also gender neutral for the most part but it kinda goes into afab partner territory at the end. i try to keep my hcs gender neutral unless asked but yk,,
we already know he has a way with words. i feel like words of affirmation is this man’s love language actually.
he absolutely melts when he hears how much his partner missed him after a long day of standing patrol at the ridge forest. he whispers against their lips about how frequently he thought of them whilst he was away. how he’s devoted to the lady and the cult, but sometimes he feels like risking it all just to spend the day with his beloved. he tells them about the beautiful flowers blooming in the forest that reminded him of his most special person.
but can we talk about the PHYSICAL AFFECTION !!!
at first, he seems like he wouldn’t be the type to enjoy affection much and especially wouldn’t care for pda.
but very quickly after entering a relationship with him, that assumption gets proven WRONG !
he cannot keep his hands off his significant other when they’re around. everytime they come back from a hard day of work or vice versa, he just wants to hold them in his arms. he wants to wrap his arms around their waist and hold them close to his chest when they just enter the room during an indoor day. he doesn’t want to be overwhelming though, so with a sigh, he holds back sometimes.
don’t get me started on rainy days. he loves cuddling on the couch or in bed, especially when his partner is sleepy from barely waking up or on the verge of falling asleep for a nap. he doesn’t mind if they drift off in his embrace and he’ll soon follow. he isn’t the type to take naps during the day and he never does it alone, but he absolutely cannot resist resting with his beloved in his arms. he stays up to listen to their soft breaths and feel the slight movement of their chest rising and falling in his hold, but he eventually lets himself fall asleep holding them.
one of my other favorite things to think about is that,,
he can be quite jealous 🤭
don’t get me wrong, he’s secure in his relationship and trusts his lover completely.
but if someone, specifically a man, spends too much time talking to his partner, he’s definitely raising an eyebrow. ESPECIALLY if they’re a jokester, making his partner smile and laugh.
he doesn’t wanna cause a scene though. he keeps his body language casual and tries not to stare too hard. when he does look over, he tries not to shoot any daggers yet.
he knows it’s unreasonable and he needs to work on this bad habit, but he can’t help it. there’s a part of him that sometimes feels like his partner could find someone better than him. maybe there’s someone more experienced with love, with a better sense of humor than him, and what if they’re better looking ? is he spending enough time with his partner ? what if they’re lonely because of him going to the ridge for most of the day ?? safe to say, he’s a bit of an overthinker.
he doesn’t like to ask for reassurance or even let his jealousy be known. he sighs and just tries to keep it in. he’s not very good at that though. his significant other would always be able to tell one way or another lol. either through his demeanor change or if he makes a comment about it
“i wasn’t aware of your friendship with that man…jeric, is it ? he seems fond of you.”
his partner just rolls their eyes. they know where this is going, but they’re happy to reassure him with a simple kiss and a squeeze of his hand. even smiling at him and telling him they love him is enough to clear the air
now, father jio…
unfortunately (but maybe not ??) might have to be a separate post of its own bc i don’t want this to be too long HAHA i got plentyyyyy thoughts !!! if u want to hear them
ok nsfw ramblings below !! mdni know the drill
THIS MAN Y’ALL THIS MAN LET ME TELL U
JIO is one of the most passionate bachelors i think. actually, i KNOW. he is.
it shows in the way he touches. soft and gentle, like his lover is made out of glass. he touches every inch of their body as they kiss. his touch is soft and sensual enough to cause goosebumps and he loves the way they tremble when he runs his fingers along their spine and breathes against their ear.
he’s the type to put his partner’s pleasure over his own. just seeing them come undone when he’s between their legs or touching them as they’re in his lap is enough for him. especially if they’re having a bad day.
he quietly whispers “is there anything i can do to put you in a better mood, my love ?” as he kisses from their lips down to their neck.
a big fan of any position that allows him to be face to face with his partner. he doesn’t mind any other position, but the ones that let him see their face when they moan and look at him back are the ones that realllyyy get him going. plus he can kiss them easily. he’s a romantic, what can i say ??
multiple orgasms 🫡 he’s good at what he does is all i’m gonna say !!! lovessss when he’s able to make his partner exhausted afterwards. when they’re just melting and blissed out under his touch.
the first things i like to think about characters is whether they’d be an ass or tits kinda person. the age old question. one of my absolute favorites to ponder
first of all, he wouldn’t dwell on that question too much because he thinks it’s kinda silly and unnecessary. he loves his partner the way they are and finds them beautiful as they are.
that being said,
jio loves boobs. 🥳
they’re soft. he loves resting his head on them during cuddle sessions. if his partner is laying in his lap he’ll definitely hold them in his hands under their shirt.
even if they’re small he loves them. he loves looking at them, kissing them, touching them, and is obsessed with the way they fit in his palms.
like i said, he’s a big fan of any position that allows him to see his partner’s face. mainly because he wants to see the way they react to his touch, the way their cheeks flush and sweat forms on their skin, but also because their boobs are often right in his face
he’s enamored by the way they softly bounce with every thrust whether he’s on top or he has his lover in his lap bouncing on him.
and of course there’s some marks on them. he tries to be gentle, but he gets a little carried away sometimes. he can’t help it, he’s in love and he wants his beloved to always be reminded of his love for them when they look in the mirror 😽

I'm gonna write headcanon pasts for the One Piece admirals! They're just so damn interesting and I love their mobster/rebel/yakuza theme! Kinda reminds me of the games lol.
Tumblr media
BEWARE OF ANGST!: MENTIONS OF CHILD ABUSE, VIOLENT CRIME, UNDERAGE DRINKING, AND SELF-HARM
So, I looked at the childhood images of Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru and made what I could make out of what I can see in the images. No kid photos of Fujitora and Greenbull yet, do I used canon events as refs.
Tumblr media
Akainu (Sakazuki) 🐶:
He had a turbulent childhood in a crime-riddled place. His father was a crime boss who abused him for seeing Marines as his hero, because his dad knew more that the Marines and WG were corrupt and shit. After all, the dad was a criminal, while Akainu genuinely wanted to serve in the marines and stand for his "justice".
A Marine he idolized gave him the tattered cap shortly before he killed his father because that Marine brainwashed and gaslit him into believing in his twisted justice during his stay in that area while searching for pirates. Akainu saw the battle and was instantly INSPIRED. He would become like his hero and blow up his shithole hometown.
Akainu has seen crimes, vices, violence, and all sorts of moral decadence in his place, so it's not surprising his views on justice got fucked up. He learned street smarts and how to fight due to his environment. He met Aokiji after killing his dad (it's anime logic where the young kid can kill an adult with fighting experience) and both had a rocky, love-hate (yes, I used to ship these two) relationship while wandering and doing odd jobs before being taken in by the Marines.
Since both grew up in turbulent, violent environments, they had the physical and mental strength (and fuckedup-ness) to fight in the Marines, and it'd be a waste to just let them toil while doing household chores, right?
So, they were taken in and trained. All the time, even until they were admirals, Akainu and Aokiji were arguing, always. Their opposing views, personalities, and justices didn't help either. Sometimes, they'd even be petty, like, Aokiji just moves Akainu's bonsai vase a little and Akainu is in a real foul mood and then shit hits the fan. It's very hilarious to see, especially when they were kids, they always had to be disciplined because they were always fighting 😂.
Akainu always had to deal with Aokiji's apathy and laziness. Akainu was the kid always angry and serious, so he was a rather amazing student - always "upright" in the Marines' eyes. Aokiji was the lazy but smart one, as in, super lazy. During teamwork training, Aokiji was kind of a slacker at first and Akainu would fight him always. It kinda died down over time as they became adults, but Akainu is still pissed about it, as always 😂.
Soon, Akainu burned down his pirate and criminal infested hometown. Fuck the innocents and everything. There are criminals there and he will send them to hell. And he succeeded.
Akainu also had a rather romanticized view of the Marines as a child due to his circumstances. Anything about spreading justice, order, and punishing criminals, and he'll be pumped up. This is the shit for him, and he's quick to plan and act when it comes to these. Despite his angry, wild nature, ever since he was young, he was ever so PASSIONATE about being a ROUGH, STRONG Marine man. Hence, the rose of the fuckin' lady killer sheesh 🥵. Something here's burning hot and it's not just the lava!
Yah, yah, I just spent over half the year creating yakuza/boryokudan OCs and well, I guess the dashing underworld outlaw prince swept me off my feet 🤩🤩🤩...
Aokiji (Kuzan) 🐦: Aokiji had deadbeat parents who always let him get beat up. He lived in the same area as Akainu. Due to his family being deadbeat, he picked up vices and began to drink at an early age. He decided to wander away, doing odd jobs. Despite his apathy towards most of the world and anger towards criminals, helping people with chores kind of softened his heart. This has helped him develop a sense of compassion, unlike Akainu, who did these chores as a way to work towards being accepted by the Marines. Sometimes, Aokiji would be dog tired and sleep a lot in his free time.
Soon, he met Akainu and they accompanied each other. Being alone was boring, and besides, they were kids. They'd argue a lot, even while working, AND especially when sharing a sleeping space. Oh boy, they'd get violent when one starts pressing agains the other.
And that's the definition of true love according to what my shipper brain said
The Marines soon took them in and they began to train. Aokiji was rather apathetic to this at first, but then actually began to warm up a bit to his job. Sometimes, it was even entertaining, especially arguing with Akainu or simply bullshitting his fiery frienemy. But, as Aokiji became an adult, cracks began to show.
Aokiji began to see all the misery and corruption. The causes of poverty and crime, a lot caused by the WG. He saw innocent people hurt due to the WG. Soon, he fell back to his apathetic ways. But, despite being so jaded and weary, he still had that kind-hearted side for those with benevolent intentions, regardless of them being pirates or otherwise. Soon, he wanted to be free to do this and resign from the Marines. Deep down, he had a heart like the snow, cold, and yet beautiful.
Dagnabbit, I'm crying why the fuck do I do this to myself 😭😭😭?
Kizaru (Borsalino) 🙈: Kizaru's family was the type that placed all their hopes on him to achieve their broken dreams for them, so they encouraged him to learn and study. He was rather pressured sometimes, but he did truly enjoy his studies and reading. He'd happily skip to the library sometimes and told them his stories. A light to their world, if I must say. Aaaand the feels are back 🥲.
Kizaru then decided to join the Marines, a decision his parents supported, seeing he could finally give them an ego boost, like "HOLY SHIT MY SON IS A MARINE, NOW, CLAP, GUYS". Not really his dream or what he wanted, but he just went with the flow. He was an easygoing, cool, chill dude anyway.
Soon, he met Akainu and Aokiji in training. He ALWAYS had to be there to calm these two down if they started arguing. One mean look from Akainu to Aokiji or vice versa, "woah there, now stop my dudes" Kizaru was the pacifier between them. He was also the quiet, cool, but very smart kid who always was in the topnotchers. However, he was the type to suck up to the government's ideals and decisions of the majority of the top brass and whatever view a certain faction of theirs chooses as right. He was like a ship bobbing on the waves without someone to steer it.
Soon, he got to meet Vegapunk due to his knowledge on some certain machines thanks to his childhood of reading. He would keep a VERY CLOSE EYE ON THE SCIENTIST. That's what he was tasked to do. He had no problem with that anyway. Then, he met Sentomaru, Kuma, and Bonney, and maybe, just maybe, his nonchalant, neutral personality slipped away, having seen the innocence of a kid who viewed him as an uncle and the sweetness of a father and his daughter. He found himself having fun for the first time, but maybe, he just didn't know it. But the memory stuck.
To thisbday, Kizaru is still nonchalant as ever, but maybe, I hope, something might happen in Egghead arc now with him. Could be good development for someone so dull, yet so bright.
Dammit. Them 2D cartoon seamen making me cry.
Fujitora (Issho) 🐯: Oh God, this is a dark one. Fujitora was a very unfortunate lad. He had an, abusive, overpopulated family who hated him and beat him to near death. They saw he was durable when he fought back and decided to sell him to the Marines. It wasn't fair. But the world's not fair. Always, Fujitora saw poverty and very VILE bastards in his place. It was not surprising to him. But, his hell was just going to begin.
Fujitora had a strong moral compass (besides his gambling) and trained hard to spread justice in the Marines. But, as his rank got higher, the more horrible things he saw in the WG. Corruption, slavery, hatred, and all things unpleasant. Ugh, he wanted to leave. Why? Justice is for everyone, right? So, why can't he bring it to those above him, who abuse their power? That's right, it was the world being unfair.
All the shit he has witnessed made him sick to the stomach. Are these the people he was working with and working for? Yuck. He decided to resign last minute before a promotion.
But, before he left, Fujitora reflected on his life before being sold to the Marines and after being sold to the Marines. Just the same. It was just the same back there. It was just unfair, so unfair. Wherever he went, there were always bad people oppressing the lass fortunate like he once was. Fujitora was unable to take the gravity in that moment and cut his eyes. He decided to cancel his resignation and return to the Marines. That way, at least, he can rise up to a position where he can stand for fairness. But if any sign of humanity comes before him, Fujitora will be unable to see it clearly again, despite his kind heart. He may feel it, but never see it, so he can only partially feel it. A prize to pay for justice.
This one was sad. And when kindness did come to his heart genuinely in the form of Luffy, he couldn't see those kind eyes 😭.
Ryokugyu (Aramaki) 🐂: This dude seems to have sucked according to the fandom, but screw that.
So, since he's quite the simp for the WG, Aramakiwas bought as a baby by the Marines, so all he knew was the WG's ideals.
Though unruly and wild, he was valued because he was loyal, even when he did things outside anything approved, like not asking permission to deal with certain peeps. He was also very destructive as a child, so he needed lots of discipline, too. In fact, this wild boy has been chided more than anyone could count they stopped scolding him altogether 😂!

if you wouldn’t mind would you be willing to tell us a bit more about your pidw kids? i’m really interested in that 👀 like do you have thoughts on their mothers? are they his only two kids or some of many? how do they react to each other/how do they try to get their fathers attention? you don’t have to answer all of these or any btw!! just would love to hear more about them
first of all its canon that bingge has a whole heap of descendants so ya they have a horde of siblings. i mean... 3000 wives? yeah. imagine
luo biyu was my first and so her background is a little more fleshed out than her little brothers 😂 her mom married bingge in an arranged marriage for a political alliance. she didnt want it, and bingge quickly lost interest. she fell out of favor, hard, so she and her kid (biyu) became outcasts in the harem/palace (ive been toying with the idea of whether they were put in a cold palace or not...) biyu has only met her father a few times in her life, tho shes seen him more often from a distance. shes desperate for his attention/affection/acknowledgment. after her mom died, she left the palace in a daze and has been just wandering the lands. (ive also been thinking about her going to the ruins of long gone qing jing peak to look for the fake jade pendant in a desperate bid for his regard if she could retrieve it for him) shes like... 160cm ? maybe, i havent actually decided yet if i want her to be tall or short
luo mei is a little less developed cus hes so fresh LOL i know his relationship with his father was much better than biyus, atleast in childhood. as he grew older, and his personality developed, bingge slowly distanced himself for some reason... (its cus mei started vaguely reminding him of Someone... but who... 🤫bingge, justifying it in his head: ok but what if my child has bad vibes?)
he grew up surrounded by women so he thinks men aint shit. hes somewhat friendly but he has a tendency to lash out at times. he can fight but its not really a passion or anything for him. hes an arts guy! specifically, hes a dancer! luo mei is 180cm
OK TO UR QUESTIONS CUS I FORGOT U EVEN ASKED SDGKJBSDKGBSG
thoughts on their mothers: luo biyu loved her mother, she was her whole world. they were isolated and only had eachother.
luo mei has a regular relationship w his mom. i havent rly thought much about them yet!
how do they react to eachother: luo biyu resents her siblings, ESPECIALLY the ones who get more attention from bingge. luo mei pities biyu. they dont interact a lot (specifically because biyu was so isolated) tho he finds her to be one of his more tolerable siblings LOL
how do they try to get their fathers attention: luo biyu tried at excelling in anything she could to get his attention/approval. shes therefore one of the strongest of his kids but alas... and she will try to do things that she knows has meaning to bingge like getting him things etc that kinda stuff luo mei doesnt want bingges attention LMFAO hes like that man aint shit!

Thoughts on DM3. Don’t hate me. 😂
DM3 was not a bad film, I have seen a lot worse and I even went to see it at the cinema a few times. I’d rate it a 6/7 out of ten.
The problem was with it, it felt outdated with an 80s obsessed villian. Don’t get me wrong, I think Bratt is a great idea and I get the concept of it but just maybe with his own film, not in DM.
Aswell, I felt they took a lot of things away from us that were just getting started.
- Agnes sold Fluffy the unicorn though in DM2 she would have screamed the house down if anything happened to him and he was such a big part of the merch. But no, gone, sold to some lil blonde.
- We didn’t see much of Grus freeze-ray nor his tank of a car. - not a big deal but these lil things make the film what it is.
-There was no Fred. - again like the point above. I would have also have liked to have seen Jillian, I thought she was a great and (annoying) addition to DM2.
-Gru didn’t really bother with the girls or interact with any of them, well a part from Agnes. He didn’t even put them to bed like he used to and just left Lucy to do it all. He didn’t really seem supportive of her with her trying to be a mum I thought. If that was my husband I would have kicked his arse lol!
- Margo got engaged to some weird kid and Gru was nowhere to be seen but in DM2 he was this overprotective dad that would have broke his nose or something lol! I know Lucy had it in hand but…..ya know. I wanted to see the overprotective dad mode.
- We didn’t see much of the house which we seen a lot of in DM1/2 and I thought that was such a shame. Why couldn’t Dru just come to Grus house or something lol
- I disliked how the writers wrote out Dr Nefario (we won’t mention the actors name and no one would of cared if someone else was voicing him) but what a lazy way to just freeze him in carbinite. Gru didn’t really seem that upset over it though the Dr had been like a dad to him. Like ?????
- Dru wasn’t bad, it was kinda nice seeing Gru have some male company as if he was down the pub with a mate but I also found it odd they had all of a sudden put on him the temptation to go back to villainy when in DM2 he had that temptation but he wasn’t interested in the slightest. He just wanted to be a father, get a job, get his girl and that was it. Every scene was perfect, the actors, writers etc put all there heart and soul into it and you couldn’t have put anymore into it really, even if you tried. Gru was really at his peak in DM2. Maybe I’ve got it wrong. Idkkkk.
- I didn’t mind the Minions and personally I never do, I think they just add to the film and I don’t find them annoying. I actually liked the prison scene, I thought that was a pretty good idea tbh.
It even felt like at times the animated characters didn’t want to even be doing the storyline in DM3. 😂
3 obviously made a lot of money because everyone was still hyped around DM2 but came out of the cinema or wherever they first watched it empty handed.
Yes it’s ok chucking in a scene here and there with a treehouse or an Agnes and Gru moment to put in some heart but it was almost forced. The writers said themselves they struggled and just wrote for themselves which I found really sad as there is so much you can do with this franchise I think.
I’m ngl, I am a bit nervous about DM4 as I think this will be its last chance to survive but the trailer looks amazing and I’m already won over by the baby Gru Jr. I wanted them to have a baby in DM3!!!!! Really DM4 should have been 3.
Should have rhey aged the girls up. Yes and no. Maybe a bit? Tbh personally, I don’t really care. It keeps there innocence but I would like to see Gru bonding with them again.
It wasn’t all bad though, I liked Lucy trying to be a mom and the animation has definitely stepped up a notch to the point that Gru is pale AF now and they all look a bit different. Aswell the actors, Carell, Kristin did a great job as always.
This is all my own opinion so don’t come at me 🤣.

Do you have any OC’s for Lackadaisy who didn’t make it into the fic or who were made after you started writing? I love hearing about all of them so much
;v; wagh
So 2~3 of these kitties are connected to Devil's Moon characters but probably won't show up (or at least, will only be mentioned), and two arent related to it at all.
Viviana Carmina Holst - Slyvester's wife, who Ive thought so much about but may not even show up "on camera" LOL. A calico with auburn hair she keeps in a fairly old-fashioned style, to match her more modest dress. She's thin and has big, bright green-brown eyes.
She's quite sociable, observant, easygoing and a terrible cardshark. She loves company and doesn't get it nearly as much as she'd like; they live in a modest yet well-decorated home outside St. Louis city limits. Carmina comes from a large Italian family. She was the first of her siblings to be born in America. She's always been known as Carmina to them (there were already three Vivianas in the extended family), and Vivi to her husband.
Because she and Slyvester could not have children, they adopted three nephews after the boys' parents passed (Carmina's side). The boys are now grown and the two oldest are quite successful. The youngest still lives with them to help his mother, as Carmina is disabled and Slyvester works a lot, and they've yet to find a live-in nurse that suits them.
Carmina and Slyvester grew up together in the same Italian-majority neighborhood; his family is Danish and was one of the few non Italians on the block. Carmina's parents approved of him bc he agreed to convert, they knew he wasn't a drinker, and they were relieved their sickly daughter was able to get married and have someone take care of her for the rest of her life.
Flynn's Family - I've thought a lot about them but I don't think they'll be super relevant or come up, alas. His older brother Seamus is fairly important to the business, but rarely makes himself known. He has some pretty bad physical and mental damage from the war, so tends to be anti-social, plus years of Flynn's emotional manipulation have taken their toll. Tomas was the youngest and the golden child, died in the war. Flynn couldn't stand him. Sorcha was older than Tomas but younger than Flynn, I'm still unsure what happened exactly, but she's not around her parents anymore. They didn't really dote on her like they did the boys, or Tomas.
Their mother was tall and slender, while the father was more stout and broad, and a little shorter - only Seamus had his build and coloring, the rest of the children were looked and were built like their mama. All of them had orange and black markings but the Flynn we know is the only chimera.
I keep wanting to think of more for the family - their history, and appearances and whatnot, but then I pull back because it "won't be relevant" in Devil's Moon ... well, might do it anyway bc I just like writing family dynamics and drama, lol. I already wrote a ton about Carmina so might as well.
Okay these two are 100% not UTDM related and from an Arkham Horror board game/kinda tabletop bc we rp'd it a ton. The setting is 1920s anyway, and I forced my friends to play and make lackadaisy OCs (it was my birthday damn it 😂). These two characters rotted a crater in my brain for 2 weeks straight and I still like em a ton. Sister Marguerite was mine and Father Elijah was initially my partner's but I have since stolen him haha.
Sister Marguerite, formerly Adelaide Whitaker. Wheeww... so much to say here but I'll condense it. Originally from a wealthy East Coast family, she was forcefully sent to a "wellness and manners" sort of school for "esteemed ladies" that was really just a ruse to hide her pregnancy. It wasn't a Magdalene asylum/laundry, though. She lost the child, but a handful of nuns showed her such kindness (and she'd had religious-fixated OCD for years that her family actively made worse anyway) that she converted to Catholicism and began the process of becoming a nun once she was old enough. She's happy with her current life, enough that her OCD has lessened somewhat, but ofc there are still bad days. She often fixates on physical purity, baptism and "healing water"; most of her sisters chalk her "peculiarities" up to her extreme devotion and are willing to overlook her bad, spiraling days bc shes v dear to them. She's a good-hearted woman, quiet, and doesn't scare easily. Puts others before herself again and again.
As a cat, she's white with unsettling sectorial heterochromia, big slender ears, and an odd face. Lackadaisy cats are generally pretty cute but she's meant to be more "homely". Her eyes are more unnerving than striking. This is the photo that was the first inspiration for her, though this kitty is very cute, haha. If she were human I think she'd have bright eyes and a very plain face. I've drawn her but my art is pretty oof! I need to keep practicing bc her face and headshape in particular are kinda different.
Actually considered reworking her backstory to be one of Jack's many siblings; he did have a sister who ran off, but thats kinda irrelevant in UTDM rn. If anything itd be mentioned in an epilogue.
Father Elijah - A handsome man from a good Midwestern family. They were disappointed when Elijah joined the church, feeling like he was wasting his potential. He's always felt close to God and wanted to help others, but he's also a deeply scholarly person and loves theology, even if some things he studies would be considered heretical. This doesn't necessarily mean he's open minded, especially to those he considers "irredeemable", but he's always polite, protective of his flock and usually a pretty affable guy.
Elijah certainly has some kind of mental stuff rolling around in his noggin; I don't want to call it disorder or illness, especially since he doesn't really have a name for it at the time period (like Marguerite with her OCD). In the tabletop, they came to Arkham together as allies and quickly became rather ... obsessed with each other. He's very fixated with Marguerite, believing her to be a pinnacle of what a godly person should be, and later believing she can actually speak to angels (or is one??). He wants so much of her attention, to hear her opinions and interpretations of faith. To say he puts her on a pedestal is an understatement. Calling it "romantic" interest isnt the whole picture, and too simple for... whatever the hell he's got going on. Marguerite admires him deeply but in a more "inspired" way. Platonic is also too simple for what she's feeling, but her attachment certainly isn't as deep as his.
As a cat he's an orange tabby with pretty blue eyes. Meant to be a really tall good looking dude, a contrast to Sister Margy. Maaany women in the church have admired him but he's never considered or indulged in feelings like that until Marguerite; he doesn't even consider his appearance much. Just tries to keep tidy. I also terribly drew him real quick for the tabletop. I think his ears should have kind of a cute shape and he's got extra fur around his face :3 Still not sure on what sort of tail he'd have, though.
Shoutout to tabletop!Father Elijah who dual wielded a pistol and giant crucifix on the regular, constantly threw himself into danger to save Margie and slowly became twisted by the dark powers he was trying so hard to stop 👍🏽 One of my favorite scenes was both of them jumping into a portal together, then getting separated bc we rolled poorly and they both got HP/Sanity down to 0. Elijah woke up in the hospital in extreme pain, left without fully restoring HP and ran all the way back to the church to find Marguerite. They held each other at the altar for a while and she gave him her rosary bc he lost his crucifix in the void. and they promised to never leave each other again and stayed attached at the hip in spite of the usual eldritch horrors. normal arkham horror things. I'd love to make Arkham LCG cards for them; theyve already got custom cards for the 2nd edition board game (but now my other fixations and nerdness is showing so ill stop here).
(shoutout to that poor eldritch-corrupted NPC who sister marguerite believed needed a baptism to restore him, so father elijah held the dude down while he almost drowned and margeurte prayed over him and one party member witnessed all this and told the others so EVERYONE avoided "those catholic freaks" for the whole session sdkdskfs)

LOL "unfortunately for him MC is much more skilled than him" LOL I just immagined MC challenging him in the same plaza, and after 30 second of beating (bacause he wasn't able to even dodge/parry once) Ædan is on his knees with MC looming over him "Disappointing. *Insert name* land and *insert value* coins will be the reparations you'll personally pay to me, for the Argentius's reparations you'll have to deal with my father." puts the sword back and walks leisurely away without even a single drop of sweat and without looking back.
Hello Anon!
I-I mean, Ædan's not that bad, guys, c'mon 😂 Ædan's like, at a higher level than a knight. The only people who can definitively win against him are King Ærick, Duke Argentius, MC, Ædric, and Prince Ædmund (Ærick's younger brother), while Bertrand (Ædric's best friend) would just narrowly win against him.
But that's such a badass scene for MC 😎
(Kinda spicy below)
(C'mon guys Ædan can last more than a few seconds 😂)

opinion on gopher
Well no shade at any Gopher fans but not really positive so dont read further if you dont wanna be sad😂
To me Gopher kind of is one of the reasons for my controverial oppinion of the anime being better than the manga:
The most simple and least pretentious way of describing my thoughts and reasons is - I find him unfunny and obnoxious, while also feeling that he is a pointless charachter with wasted potential at the same time.
But to get more into detail...
When did he get introduced (if I remember correctly?): During that whole mini-arc about Maka wanting "to be an angel".
I have many problems with that part of the story, especially with how it turns Maka into some generic "tsundre kawaii girl who not so secretly likes the guy who she is bitchy too"
But I wont get too much into that, just the fact that I get the point - Gopher gets introduced as foil to her in that arc, to kinda give her a reality check of how unlikeable and childish she is acting.
But the point is, that even with the most charitable interpretation of the arc, Gopher IS just by his nature a charachter tailor-made (literally) to be obnoxious and annoying.
And unlike Excalibur, I find the way in which he is just groan-worthy and not charming and soothing (Yeah Excalibur is great, shout out to the OG)
But ok, maybe thats just bad impresions, does he improve later? Not really cause his whole gag stays this kinda creepy quasi incestious obssesion with Noah and idk, dont even wanna write about that part too much lol
But even if one just looks at it as a charachter trait with possible development, it leads nowhere, Gopher being static besides his final gag (which I admit is funny but also a bit ehh with the whole implication of what hes gonna do with 7 naked unconcious bodies...)
Still, one could say why am I'm expecting something out of a gag charachter? Just dont overthink it - maybe I wouldnt if Ohkubo didnt kinda setup a situation where it seemed there could be more to him, only to be just wasted panel time in the end:
What I mean is, the whole setup of him torturing and integoriating Kid - which seemed to be a perfect opportunity for charachter development for both of them - because they actually have some simmilarities:
Both are "created" and "reverant" to their Father-figure, both have unhealthy obssessions and both start throwing childish tantrums when things dont go their way. (also surface details like both seemingly being anime pretty boys appeiling to a specific demographic, with the dark hair and proper dress-code etc)
Yet all that didnt lead to anything - neither Gopher realised that his "master" is horrible compared to the other side, nor did it make Kid reflect about his own obssessions and how obnoxious and ridicolous he must look to others.
Neither was there anything about being sorta non human, "created" not born - but thats excusable cause that was revealed after the fact in Kids case.
Hell, still there could be even some strengthening of both sides negative traits, the tragedy of communication being impossible, but all lead just to an ok gag of Kids face being made unsymmetrical.
But also on a tangent, the whole "black wings" thing also just seems to be derivative - especially when the much stronger parallel of "angel vs demon" with black and white wings was between Maka and Crona, so yeah I think the whole obnoxious Maka and Gopher thing kinda deluded that meaning, but thats more of a pet peeve.
Still, to leave of not with just bitching, but an interesting thought, or atleast kinda funny in a stupid way (enough that I will prolly use it as filler in my iceberg videos):
So Gopher is a creation of Noah. But Noah is just one of seven other creations. Who are made by the Index, which is just a manifestation of a part of the Book of Eibon, which was written by the Wizard of the same name.
How many layers of being a tool is that?😂

We need a fc for Freddie ASAP, cause I feel like that will resolve so many questions about him. He for sure knows he is below her standards, so he’s trying to ruin her self esteem to get her to fuck/date him.
My mom’s friend once commented on the couple we saw on the street.
Little back story She was so fucking pretty, really put an effort into her appearance, laughing and joking.. She seemed like a really funny, someone cool you’d want to be around. He looked like he just rolled out of bed, didn’t even bother to brush his hair, clothes rumpled, grumpy, mean to her… She was so out of his league, but he had the audacity to check out other girls, IN FRONT OF HER.
Soo, of course we had to comment on it. And she said it’s probably low self esteem, lack of confidence, and that he made her believe he was better than her, and that she should be gratefull he’s even given her a chance.
I think that’s what Freddie is trying to do.
Can’t wait to learn what really happened in Monaco.
I wish her father makes an appearance, fucking destroys Holly and Lauren. Like bankrupt Holly’s agency, take over, renegotiates deal with Lando’s team. I had high hopes for Lauren, but not anymore. At first she seemed like someone who could be an ally If not a friend, but now she’s just an employee doing her job. So when times come, she’ll be treated as such.
I’m kinda afraid of what’s gonna happen in a meeting with Zak. I don’t really care about him IRL, but it’s seems like he won’t be a positive character in this.
Girlie is getting attacked from all sides, and I don’t like it. Really loved Logan detail. It does seem like people always try to connect WAGs to different drivers. Sometimes it is true, they seem to date from the same pool. LOL. But not this time, baby Logie can be a friend.
Next week, I hope we get at least some resolution, couse there are so many unanswered questions.
Btw, Lando did post much more last year, and in real time. But during summer brake, he and his friends got robbed. His friend talked about it on her tiktok. After that he started protecting his privacy better. Posting photo dumps only after he leaves the place, he even stopped posting on his .jpg account for a while.
Hahaha. Freddie will make an appearance and I don’t think he will what people expect….
Yeah guys do do that, I think nowadays they call it “negging”. It’s actually pathetic behaviour. We will see if you agree that’s what Freddie up to…
Lauren is doing her job, Sophie is doing her job, Zak is doing his job, even Holly is just doing her job. I think the problem when you’ve got so many people whose job it is to manage how another person behaves, you do get in these situations whenever you step out of line. Because at the end of the day these people can’t stop doing their jobs to take care of you. They may like you or even care about you in some abstract way but your well-being isn’t their priority. So it sucks to be in that position but from their side it also sucks, it’s like herding cats.
I do remember Lando’s friend Jennie talking about how they got robbed in Ibiza but somehow I didn’t connect that to why he stopped posting so much.
Also tbf when I compare him to Max I remember how much content I was able to get from Kelly’s insta, whereas Lando doesn’t have a gf. I remember Luisa used to share content of him and Kika has Pierre a lot on her insta. So yeah him being single is really not convenient 😂
But yeah I did not appreciate how between Kelly, his jet tracker, his redline streams, and the fact that he makes documentaries about his life, Max Private Man Verstappen actually has a lot of content out there lol

My thoughts as I watched the Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 on Disney+
Episode by episode random thoughts below, but overall I loved it. The actors are really good at what they do and I love who they chose as Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Luke, Clarisse… etc.. all of them were fun to watch.
Yeah I was disappointed with the ways many of the scenes were done, but I also don’t think an exact copy of the book would have been relevant now. It’s definitely been adjusted to suit the time period and just because they were changed doesn’t automatically make them all bad changes.
Tumblr media
Episode 1:
They’ve definitely made some changes which is obvious. They always do. But I love Walker as Percy. He does such a good job. “Okay… Why?” Was hilarious.
Somehow they made Sally even more amazing and her “death” even more sad. Though it’s an interesting change to make Sally do a lot of what Book Percy did in that fight.
Episode 2:
Luke and Percy’s relationship is making what’s coming even worse! The pat on Percy’s shoulder when leave Hephaestus’ cabin 😢 they are really showing how close Luke made himself to Percy.
Percy’s sass! Him during the waiting time of capture the flag was perfect
I kinda wish they had kneeled when he was claimed but meh I’m still good with this.
“I am Sally Jackson’s son!”
Episode 3:
“Oh geez. You seem busy. I’ll come back.” Poor Percy facing the Oracle
Medusa’s place brings up a lot of deep questions. I kinda like the way they took this. Bringing attention to the actual horrifying truth that is the gods’ cruel punishments is something I appreciate.
The conversation they have after everything is done was a nice touch. Letting us see them actually talk things out and see the bond slowly forming is amazing.
Episode 4:
The moment Percy changes places with Annabeth was perfectly done. Loved it!
Athena “my child embarrassed me so she can die for all I care” vs Poseidon “like hell I’m letting my son die and if that means I make a water tornado to snatch him from the air then I will”
Episode 5:
I love the popping their heads up from behind the concrete when talking to Ares.
Making it modern like Ares starting a fight on Twitter is so cool in a way. Making them “relevant” to the modern world is such an interesting take. I’m looking forward to seeing if they do it with the others too.
“Push down a flight of stairs” is very suspicious. That’s exactly what Percy said when choosing Annabeth.
😂😂Percy is completely on top of this entire park being a creepy ghost place lol though the music break was great
Grover showing off his genius with his flattery of Ares!
Hephaestus changing his mind was good but Annabeth standing up to him (and her mother) was better!!
Grover worked out who stole the bolt?!?!? This would be different than the books, but I’m still willing to see where they go with it.
Though also a thought… we are definitely getting a lot more of the gods than the books gave us. Never saw Hephaestus and it seems like we are gonna see Hermes next episode.
Episode 6:
Oh. They were wrong about who did it. That’s good at least. Figuring it out so early would not have been a good choice.
Annabeth stealing from the god of thieves 😭 even if he let her do it, for those couple of minutes it was hilarious
Santa Monica was more heartbreaking than I thought. Show Percy was really expecting his dad. But the fact he was actually there is something
THEY WERE LATE!! Wow what a change!
4 pearls!!
Episode 7:
The lack of the Crusty fight is actually disappointing honestly
No DOA Recording… I loved that one. Dead on Arrival was just clever. And no pay raise conversation 😢
“Only suckers wait in line” showing your New York City there Percy
Oh no. Now we are down to 3 pearls. Show universe is really out here making Poseidon a better father by actually caring. First he was actually waiting to see Percy and then he gives 4 pearls.
Annabeth isn’t with them anymore 🤔 I don’t like that.
“Sanctuary” for just a second I was impressed with Hades then he explained then I realized it was incredibly pragmatic of him.
Wow. I hold no animosity to show Poseidon like I do Book Poseidon. The immediate answer to Sally… Wow!
I hadn’t really realized I had animosity to book Sally but Show Sally actually did her best to prepare Percy for the world where Book Sally just ignored it.
Woo! Let’s go Ares fight!
Episode 8:
And so begins Percy’s absolute hate against Ares that even transcends a goddess erasing his memories.
Ares didn’t curse Percy though…
Yo… Poseidon surrenders for Percy
And Show Zeus is better than Book Zeus at least for now. He’s at least willing to entertain the idea of Kronos rising.
Oh Luke… I was right… this was worse than the book
“I didn’t think you’d give them to Grover” that is the most heartbreaking line
The mouthing off to Kronos is awesome. Love it “Are you kidding me” he says 😂
And sadly, but also thankfully, no getting rid of Gabe through Medusa’s head by Sally (though still got him lol). Seems like they made him not as abusive on screen as the books showed him to be.
