Fox movie nights where Andrew is squished between Neil and the armrest, and he’s grumbling silently to himself about agreeing to come to this stupid thing, but then there’s a weight on his shoulder and soft hair tickling his neck. There’s warm breaths brushing over the exposed skin of his upper arms. There’s Neil’s head resting on his shoulder.

Movie nights aren’t so bad anymore.

The So-Called Monster Hunter (Blue Lock)

Muahahaha, I've done it! I've finished the Lee!Isagi fic! :D It only took *looks at calender*...We're not gonna talk about that. *Throws it over shoulder* Heyo everyone! Blue Lock- as always- has my heart in a chokehold, so I'm embracing it with some good ol' Bachisagi! They've taken my heart and ran with it, so might as well put them in a fic! I hope you like it :D

Summary: While watching a horror movie, Isagi makes a rather bold claim. Bachira decides to test that theory."

“She’s gonna die.” Isagi shook his head with a click of his tongue as the woman on screen raced up the stairs, completely ignoring the front door. “She’s only further trapping herself in. Unless she plans on jumping off the balcony, she’s a goner.”

“You sound like you have it all figured out- how you’d avoid the serial killer.” Bachira smiled from his spot across Isagi’s lap, head against his thighs as the other played with his hair. It was a slow night, so they decided to watch a movie. Why they picked such a cheesy horror film was beyond Bachira, but he liked listening to his boyfriend’s commentary.

“I suppose- though I guess in real life if I were being chased by a serial killer, I’d probably panic too.” Isagi winced when said killer finally caught up with the woman, bringing down her demise in a rather gruesome manner. “Told you.”

“Ew.” Bachira made a face, turning his face further into Isagi’s thigh as the scene played out. “Gross. Why’d we choose this movie again?”

“I can put something else on?” Isagi offered, looking for the remote.

“Nah, nah- it’s fine.” Bachira smiled, nuzzling his face further into Isagi’s thigh. “Besides- you can protect me from all the bad stuff in the movie right?”

“Of course I can.” Isagi declared proudly, trying not to let his voice crack at the sudden tickle shooting up his leg. “Nothing scares me! I can take on any monster there is!”

“Any monster?” Bachira asked, scooting upward so he was halfway in Isagi’s lap, turning to look up at him.. “Frankenstein?”

“I’ll undo all his stitches!” Isagi nodded confidently.

“A Mummy?”

“I’ll tug his wrappings and send him spinning like a top!”

“Dracula?”

“Hm..that one might be tough.” Isagi thought about it. “Garlic. And holy water.”

“How will you get holy water?” Bachira asked, intrigued.

“By boiling the hell out of it.” Isagi giggled at his dumb joke, laughing even more when Bachira snorted. “But yeah! I can take on any monster- bring them on!”

“Any monster, eh?” Bachira was grinning now, the mood shifting as he scooted up to be in line with his belly. “Okay Monster Hunter- how about the greatest monster of them all?”

“Greatest monster?” Isagi asked, unintentionally sealing his fate.

“The monster feared by all the land…the TICKLE MONSTER!” Bachira dived forward, blowing the biggest raspberry he could against Isagi’s clothed belly. The brunette let out a shocked yelp of laughter, arching against the couch. It lasted two seconds before his back slammed into the cushions once more, bubbly laughter spilling over his lips as Bachira’s hands worked his sides.

“Ah! Ahehahahahahhhaha! B-Bahahahhahchira, dohohohoohohon’t!” Isagi giggled out, grabbing his boyfriend’s wrists weakly. “Cohoohohohme ohohoohon, noohohoohohoho fahahahhahhair!”

“No fair? But you said you could take on any monster!” Bachira giggled as he pushed his boyfriend down onto his side, worming one hand up his shirt while the other continued lightly pinching and prodding his waist. “Don’t tell me you were lying?”

“Ohoohoohohf cohohohoohuse nhoohohohoht!” Isagi cackled as he rolled on his back, squeaking upon feeling Bachira’s fingers on his belly. “I juhuhuuhust wahahhahhsn’t prhehehehhpahahahhahred!”

“Uh huh. Sure you weren’t~” Bachira cooed, delight in his eyes at Isagi’s smiling face. “All the monsters you claim you can take, but the tickle monster isn’t one of them? Shame, Isagi, shame! Looks like we’ll have to get you ready!” He leaned in so his mouth was inches from the other’s ear, hands working random patterns and shapes against his skin. “Unless you want the big bad tickle monster to keep on tickling you. I bet you like this, huh?”

“Bahahhahahahahhachirahhahahahahaha!” Isagi squealed, lightly pushing at Bachira’s shoulders as the other’s hands found his hips, squeezing rhythmically. His face flushed an impressive shade of red, eyes squeezed shut as Bachira continued whispering dastardly teases in his ear. “Dohoohohoohon’t shahahahahhahy thahahhhahahat! Geahhahahahahahaa! Not fhahahahahhair!”

“The tickle monster doesn’t play fair, Isagi~” Bachira cooed, blowing a raspberry against Isagi’s cheek before ducking his head down, kissing beneath his jaw. His hands relocated to Isagi’s sides, going right for his lower ribs just to hear him scream. “The tickle monster only plays to win.”

“BAHHHAHAHHAHCHIRAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Isagi shrieked, his squirms increasing against the couch when his worst spots were being attacked. Flailing, kicking his feet, trying to tickle him back- nothing worked against Bachira like this. He was effectively trapped. “OOHOHOHOKAY! OHHOOHOKAY YOU WIHIHIIHN NOW STAHHAHAHAP!”

“I did? Yay!” Bachira cheered, his hands retreating along with his face as he watched Iagi gasp for air. Leaning in so his chin rested against his balled fists, he blinked sweetly up at his boyfriend, giggling when the other glared. “You’re cute when you're all red like that, you know? Like a strawberry.”

“Wh-What? Ugh.” Isagi flopped back down, unable to stay mad as he felt Bachira snuggle into him. “You’re such a dork, you know that?”

“Yep!” Bachira replied, popping the ‘p’. “I’m your dork!”

“So you are.” Isagi rolled his eyes fondly, running his fingers through Bachira’s hair. Just then, a woman screamed; yet another victim to the movie killer. Bachira yelped and buried his face into Isagi’s chest, hiding from the scene. “Can we watch something else? I hate gore.”

“On it.” Isagi didn’t need to be told twice, grabbing the remote and exiting out of the movie. “Is Kiki’s Delivery Service alright with you?”

“Perfect.” Bachira smiled, snuggling in as the music played, letting himself get lost in the story.

Thanks for reading!

Okay so...given one of Cas's aliases was Clarence Worley, I wanna see what it was like when he and Dean watched True Romance together.

Do you.

Do you think Dean spilled his popcorn in Cas's lap? "Thanks for being a sweetheart, cause you could've been a real fucker."

And then he watches Cas get the references after the scene crawls across the screen.

Tonight has been very special. Tonight I watched 3 classic Disney films that not only made me feel really nostalgic, but it made me feel the real Disney magic again. The Little Mermaid, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins and Kim Possible: So the Drama. Truly some of the best and most underrated... and surprisingly a real good combo set of films to watch.

For the first time in forever, I truly got to feel the real Disney magic again. It felt just like old times whenever I watched these movies on Disney Channel and Disney Cinemagic growing up. I really miss that special feeling. Disney has got to get in touch with itself again, because they honestly just don't make em like they used to anymore.

If you ask me, 1990-2015 was one of the best eras for true Disney magic. I miss that.

Yesterday night, my personal theologian organized our last "virtual movie night" of 2023. We have had two different "cycles": one dedicated to Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, and our most recent one, where we watched John Wayne movies. We do that over Streamyard, discuss the movie afterwards as if we were in the same room (instead of living in different cities) for about an hour or two, then we go to sleep.

Yesterday's movie wasn't part of any of the cycles, though. It was The Third Miracle, by Agnieszka Holland, with Ed Harris, Anne Heche (oh, my goddess, how beautiful and talented she was) and Armin Mueller-Stahl. It was (as one might expect with a theologian) a gripping religious drama, with great acting, a really interesting script, and questions around faith and morality... Fascinating, really, as a talking point between a very rational conservative Catholic theologian and his ex-Catholic, very smart, quirky fiend who specializes in social studies and media analysis. A delight, really.

The things that nagged me during the whole time and I couldn't bring out with him were these:

One of the main themes was the painful opposition between institutional Good (the Church) and everyday faith (people who live in a failed world, but who believe in everyday saints). We obviously discussed this, but I wanted so bad to say "yeah, this is one of the main themes that makes me very interested in Good Omens, really, the difference between institutional goodness and the love of life that arrives while living amongst everyday people".

I'll spoil one of the points in the movie for this. Ed Harris is a priest. Anne Heche is a non-religious person. They start getting closer, and at one point they kiss, desperately. And then Ed Harris (with his beautiful and expressive blue eyes) leaves a very redheaded Anne Heche, parting with a kiss, because he has to go and fulfill his duty to the Church and to his faith. I should have cried. I might have screamed a little (we usually have our microphones off). Everything is Ineffable Partners coded in my head.

I have to mention again the opposition between "institutional Good" and "real Good". It is a central theme... and the character played by Armin Mueller-Stahl is awful in that sense (most of the archbishops in the movie are, really, but he is THE WORST). The feeling of "arch-authorities supposedly in charge of goodness being jerks" was other of those things where I urgently needed my theologian to have ANY SORT OF GOOD OMENS LITERACY, for someone's sake.

As that's not going to happen anytime soon, I brought this to you all, because I guess you will be interested in this sort of brainrot even when I'm talking about a 23 year old movie that no one has watched in years (but it's gooooooood! Painful, gritty, interesting....) because I can cross reference Good Omens with oh, so many things!

the poets definitely had movie nights in the cave. meeks and pitts would make a projector for the film because mr. keating refused to let them borrow one for an unknown reason. todd would find neil reenacting scenes when they got back. charlie would say "that's hot." everytime an attractive actor breathed. knox would have to pick a film but have no clue how to, so neil would help him, whilst todd was on snack-duty. cameron was probably in charge of bringing blankets and pillows, and would do everything to make sure his friends were comfortable.

Tonight I'm going to watch the second Sherlock Holmes movie (Games of shadows), and tomorrow it's going to be Young Sherlock Holmes. I remember watching YSH years ago and loving it, and even if it's just another Sherlock fanfic (John and Sherlock can't have met when they were in highschool, duh) I'm really looking forward to watching it again ☺️

Fun fact: I remembered liking this movie so much that I called the OC of my Sherlock fic Elizabeth, like Sherlock's love interest in the movie. She was so pretty ♥

You may imagine how confused I was for a second, when I saw "Elisabeth" and right under "Love"? in Mycroft's notebook in season 4... Then I realised it was probably a reference to Lady Smallwood. Not that it will stop me from making it something else in my fic ;)

HELLO friendo, how have you beeeen? i hope you're doing amazing!! 💛

noww i saw your requests were open? 👀 unfortunately i'm completely unfamiliar with all of the new fandoms so uhm hi it's me and my endless haikyuu lee kuroo requests again ^^'

i'm not sure if i requested it from you before but. matsukuro. light of my life. there's not enough for my insatiable rare pair heart so i thought maybe a little thing with them?

i feel like kuroo is that kind of person who comments on movies while watching yknow and let's be honest mattsun is probably into weird mindfucker-ish low quality movies. ofc kuroo watches them with him from time to time (the things we do for love lol) but every time every now and then he can't help but try to solve the age old mystery: "is this a mindfuck on purpose or does it just straight up not make sense?" let's just say mattsun ist not too amused (all in good fun ofc)

as always: if you don't want to write it or don't feel comfortable, no worries at all!!

have a lovely day 💛💛

KJEKJRLEKJRJKEJK YES! Oh my goodness, hi friend! :D I hope you're doing well! My goodness, I'm obsessed with this prompt aljerjkajkrjk Kuroo is living his Movie Reviewer life to Mattsun's annoyance ajrejarjaekr I've gotcha covered!

Cloud 9 (Taglist Peeps)

@thatbigbisexual29 @duckymcdoorknob,

“I don’t get it. Am I supposed to get it?” Kuroo’s brows furrowed as he watched the screen before turning to his boyfriend. “How do you watch these things anyway- are you some sort of secret genius?”

“Kuroo.” Mattsun suppressed a sigh, leaning into his fist as he tried to focus on the movie. “We’re not even halfway through.”

“That’s my point; it’s already confusing just 20 minutes in, and I still don’t know what’s going on.” The brunette pouted as he settled back, leaning into Mattsun for maximum comfort. “Are we supposed to root for the main character? She’s giving big Karen energy.”

“She’s the only one left on earth- who’s she gonna be a Karen to? The AI?” Mattsun snorted, pulling Kuroo closer and running his hand along his arm. “It’ll make sense eventually- just hang in there.”

“Fine…” Kuroo pouted, melting beneath the gentle touch. They sat in silent bliss.

For two minutes.

“Okay- now I’m really confused. What’s her endgame? If she’s trying to survive, she isn’t doing that great of a job. Who just walks into a cave without any sort of weapon or light source?”

“Kuroo.”

“She’s gonna die. I can feel it in my bones.”

“Please.”

“Watch- there’ll be a whole freaking bear in there- a bear in space-”

Mattsun shifted quickly. Suddenly Kuroo found himself with his back against the couch cushions, staring up at Mattsun’s raised brow. “Oo, is this the part where we ditch the movie and start making out?” He blew a few kisses up at him.

“No- well, not yet. This is the part where I tell you to shut that pretty mouth of yours up so we can watch the movie.” Mattsun leaned in so they were nose to nose, eyes glittering. “Before I shut it for you.”

A shiver of anticipation raced down Kuroo’s spine. “Do it then.” He smirked, grinning when Mattsun’s eyes flashed. “Shut me up, Mattsun~”

~~~

“Not what I meant, NOT WHAT I MEHAHHAHAN’T!” Kuroo all but shrieked, thrashing beneath Mattsun’s dancing fingers as they played against his ribs. In the background, the movie carried on, completely abandoned as Mattsun continued his playful assault.

“Oh no? That’s not what you meant? You said shut you up- so I am!” Mattsun teased softly, making Kuroo’s face flush an endearing shade of red as he worked the spot just beneath his ribcage. “You need to be more clear on what you mean next time, babe.”

“Sahahhahahahys the guy who dihihihihidn’t thehhehehell mehehehe he was gohoohohohnna tihihihickle- AHhahahhaha not thehehehehhere!” Kuroo’s hands shot down to his boyfriend’s wrists as the other gently massaged his hip, not quite pushing at the joint but simply holding it. “Coohohhohohme ohoohohohon!”

“What? I’m being nice- this isn’t even your worst spot.” Mattsun smirked a small devious little smile, leaning in so he was nose to nose with the other. “If I really wanted to, I’d go right for that pretty neck of yours. I do love how much you sound like a hyena when I tickle you there- it’s rather cute.”

“Shuhuhuhuhuhuht your mohohohohohohuth, you frehehehehehehaking vahhahhahahaampihihihihire! Ahehahahahahhaha!” Kuroo cackled, pushing at Mattsun’s face as he scrunched up, cheeks red and eyes misty. “Oohohohoho my gohohoohohd, whehehehen’d you gehhehehehet so tehehehehehahhahahasy?”

“Learned from the best.” Mattsun told him simply, leaning in to kiss his cheek. Then the side of his chin.

Then…

“AHEHAHHAHAHA! NOHOOOHHO, NOHOHOHOOHO WAHHAHAHAIT STAHAHHAHAHAHAP!” Kuroo all but screamed, torn between arching away and scrunching up as Mattsun’s lips found his neck, kissing and nuzzling. He grabbed the back of Mattsun’s hair- his shirt- he tried kicking him in the ass with his socked foot. Nothing worked; his boyfriend was a tickling monster! At this moment, he put Kuroo’s work to shame.

A difficult thing to do, he’d argue. Kuroo couldn’t help but be a little proud.

“Are you gonna stay quiet for the rest of the movie?” Mattsun asked between kisses, his hands slowing to a gentle trace as Kuroo wheezed beneath him.

“Yehehehhehs! Yehehehehhes, pleahahahhase now stahhahahap tihiihhiihckling mehehehehe!” Kuroo cried out, gasping for air when Mattsun did just that. Running a shaky hand through his bangs, he reached out and swatted the other boy’s shoulder. “Yohohohohu’re tehehehrrible!”

“I did warn you, didn’t I?” Mattsun reminded, remaining in his position lying across Kuroo’s supine form. He ran a hand along Kuroo’s flushed face, smiling when the other leaned into the touch. “I told you I’d shut you up.”

“I thoohohught you were gonna kiihihiss me.” Kuroo pouted, trying and failing to glare. It was impossible to stay mad at him when Mattsun was giving him those freaking eyes!

“Hm.” Was all he got. Before long, soft lips captured his own. Warmth spread down Kuroo’s body like a wave, making his toes curl and his heart beat rapidly against his ribs. “Better?”

“No. You stopped too early.” Kuroo raised his chin, his trademark grin cutting across his face despite how breathless he sounded. “Keep doing that and I’ll be as quiet as a mouse.”

“We’ll see.” Mattsun laughed against his mouth, kissing him again and again.

Thanks for reading!

The Eight Rings of Bad Internet Reviewer Hell

-Ring One: Listicle-Fever-

A source that’s better at cataloging content worth the viewer’s interest gets it into their head that they are a decent source of information and critical opinion. Bonus points: +the source is user generated and voted for without moderation, so it’s really no one’s actual opinion +article sites quote each other as a source

Examples: WatchMojo, Cracked.com, Listverse

Exceptions: PanPizza and CR

-Ring 2: Funnyman thinks he’s a Reviewer "oh god"-

While everyone's a critic, not everyone is a reviewer. This bad faith + bad take combo comes from a person who’s better at making observational jokes (riffs) at something, but then thinks said jokes are meaningful analysis simply because they occasionally point out actual problems in the material. Bonus points: +jokes are offensive and not funny +they’re actively ignoring the actual text to make jokes +deflects their own critics by calling everyone who doesn’t buy into their jokes “butthurt fans”

Examples: CinemaSins, Cracked.com, post Demo-Reel Doug Walker, ScreenJunkies

Exceptions: Rifftrax/MST3K, Retsupurae (rip), ABrandontoThePast, penguinz0 

-Ring 3: “Let’s go through the movie together :D”-

A standard retrospective-based review format; best used on contained 3-act structures. The reviewer obviously has the foresight of having watched something before they discuss it to the audience. At their best, these kinds of reviews are fun. At their worst, these videos are just validation farms designed to rip on something sillystupid. Bonus points: +performatively angry and over the top +reviewer takes the subject too seriously in a way that feels unpleasant or a chore to sit through as an audience +alternatively, they have the same trouble as the ‘Funnyman’ and holds no interest in what they’re talking about

Examples: Irate Gamer, MysteriousMr.Enter, ConfusedMathew, Doug Walker again

Exceptions: PeanutButterGamer, Jenny Nicholson, Phelous and Allison Pregler, Bad Princess Movie Podcast, Double Toasted, YourMovieSucks, ToddintheShadows

-Ring 4: Super-Fan-Fail-Theorist-

Bi-monthly theorizing about what a new plot development for a show is, or after-the-fact musing on a what ‘something’ nebulously ‘means’. Very often transforms into fan theorizing and analyzing media for conclusion’s sake. Prone to A LOT of bias of the fan reviewer’s absolutist-take. Obsessed with a product’s fringe and ultimately deeply invested in what is a shallow-insight. Bonus points: +reviewer won't parse the difference between their theory and the text +reviewer is defensive and won’t share the fandom with people who don’t share their take

Examples: Game Theory, Wisecrack

Exceptions: CinemaCartography, Jacob Geller, Sarah Zed and Lady Emily

-Ring 5: Wannabe Breadtube Retrospecterer-

Reviewer wants to be a researched, respected, ‘enlightened’ 2-hour vid maker but is really just an annoyed fan who’s lengthy reviews aren’t structured. Criticism might be valid, but is usually more about what the reviewer doesn't ‘like’ than what's actually wrong with something. Feels more like a lecture and a take-down than it is an enlightening hot take, at best. Also, it's your fault if you disagree with them and they live rent free in their critics heads- totally not the other way around! Bonus points: +incorrect, ludicrous, needless accusations tossed around at ppl they dislike +sounds like they're telling the audience how to feel, not why they feel think something is "awful and here’s why” +reviewer refuses to apologize or correct themselves if they get their facts wrong

Examples: Lily Orchard, Mysterious Mr. Enter again, half of the alt-light douchbags with hour long rants about Star Wars who ironically are all out to counter leftBreadtubers

Exceptions: Accented Cinema, Shaun, Folding Ideas, Xiran Jay Zhao, Princess Weekes, Lindsay Ellis, Lady Emily again, BenettetheSage's newest vids, Cheyenne Lin, and Sideways

-Ring 6: DNI-Danny -

Otherwise known as the “Anti". Jaded by years of abusive standom, they cling to good takes and criticism when it’s convenient for them but otherwise see fandom and critical analysis as a battlefield THEY MUST win. Very judgemental of people who don’t share their (sometimes exact) opinions; quick to gaslight/block/smear people just for association. Absolutist as a means of keeping oneself ‘safe’. Bonus points: +apologizing is NEVER AN OPTION +genuinely treats fandom takes as tho they’re comparable to politics and real morality +DNI list consists of MAPS, bigots, republicans and ppl who ship that toxic ship they don’t like +"no I didn't even watch the video, I don't have to!!" +"cancel culture doesn't exist"

Examples: Lily Orchard again and also prolly some tumblr user you know

-Ring 7: Choked on the Reddit-Pill-

Caught in a toxic dance of death with the DNI-Danny. May be the reason the former exists, but absolutely exists to counter the DNI-Danny at their bs by functioning more bs. So obsessed with being a counter argument and fighting for “actual social justice” (whatever that means) that they don’t recognize their own absolutism, centricism, or selfishness for what it is. Where the Anti counters with “think of the marginalized” the Reddit-Pill is obsessed with “well I’m not [worst case scenario] so why it is my problem that [worst case scenario] exists, HMMM???!” Bonus points if: +really love the term ‘moral guardians’ unironically +“fiction never reflects reality” +"cancel culture doesn't exist" +"some of us can tell the difference between fiction and reality"

Examples: Bad Webcomics Wiki, 4chan, half of the complacent "not me"-base that is KiwiFarms

-Ring 8: Actual Moral Guardians-

Not a jaded or concerned fan fighting for the rights of the marginalized, or for other people, at all. Not even a critic. Legit cult member working in ACTUAL bad faith. 100% unironically believes that liking (or even watching) something means you are being brainwashed/going to hell. Ostensibly has a skewed understanding of how media actually affects people (because they legit think it happens thru mind control and not emotional connections.

Never have good takes or good faith-basis of their own. They can only ever parrot criticisms from other people to fit their usually conservative-minded beliefs. Legit witchhunt. 

Examples: Jordan Peterson, The Satanic Panic, Ben Shapiro, QAnon, Breitbart

inb4: "DID YOU KNOW that the reviewer you rec actually did-"/"they don't like that other reviewer you rec"/"they won't fuck you stop promoing them"

>I'm not here to tell you the ppl I recommended in the links are saints, good people, or even the best reviewers with the one take to rule them all. I don't know them. I'm recommending them on the basis of how to see this kind of reviewing done right.

>I'm not these reviewer's moms. I don't know them. I'm pretty sure some of these people dislike some of these other people- I don't even watch every person I recommended here- but why or how is none of my business. I'm recommending ppl as a viewer.

>I'm aroace and a lot of these people are married or taken. I HOPE they won't fuck me, tbh.

If your favoritist reviewer-person ever is on the example list, barring the final rings, it's none of my business Jan. I still like ScreenJunkies tbh.
