oh my god hold on a second. do you think the $quad has met saiko's parents. like they HAVE to have been over at his house before. i'd imagine some of the butlers and bodyguards are familiar with them (especially the ones that accompany him to school) but they're his Guys so i'd imagine they hang our at his house more than the others... so they'd definitely had some encounters w his mom/dad. funniest scenario is at the point of their friendship where they can tease him and he won't mind they'll be acting silly and then one of his parents walks in and they're suddenly perfect well behaved little angels who are just such good company to their dear metori. do you see the vision...

I DOOOO I SEE THE VISION.... theyve definitely visited his house the most out of everyone at pk theyre here every other day. i remember talking about this w a friend years ago and we were saying saiko would always be calling them over when he feels a little bored or lonely under the pretense of needing them to do stuff for him even though hes literally got a dozen people personally attending to his needs at home. constructing elaborate scenarios to just hang out without having to acknowledge any sort of friendship. i think post-friendship acknowledgement they still always gather at saikos house because hes got everything they could possibly want in there and also their houses arent up to his crazy standards so by default.... it can be a little insulting but they like getting picked up from school by a professional chauffeur w a limo too much to ever really complain about it lol

the saiko staff is kind of amused by them when they come over cuz theyre so used to doing that job for saiko at school they start doing it at his house without realizing. mostly though i think theyre happy he has normal friends now (and that its made him less annoying to deal with)

HIS PARENTS. theyve only met them like once or twice bc theyre really not at the house often. i like to think it wasnt even intentional they just keep getting lost in that huge fucking mansion and somehow end up in places they shouldnt be like saikos dads office or his art collection room. its really awkward every time because his dad doesnt really get it so when they blurt out a self introduction and say theyre his sons friends his dads like '...so you work for him, yes?' and arguing with a man that looks like a human-sized star and has enough power to make their entire family disappear with a snap of his fingers is a little scary so theyre just like yes sir we do sir. and he just pats them on the shoulder and tells them to keep up the good work and calls someone to guide them back to his son.

saikos mom is really funny to think about bc for takahashi yokota and murata its like going to their friends house after finally getting thru to him and starting to have a sort of normal relationship with him and meeting their celebrity crush there. when they come to saikos house after meeting her they try to discreetly ask if his mom is gonna be there. you know just to be polite and say hello they should probably bring a gift too... and saikos like shes in brazil rn and im going to kill you.

Do you think we'll have Eddie next season? Personally, I think he will be in season 5, BUT not like everyone is expecting. They gave Dustin a trauma, so they have to work on it. Maybe Eddie will be a Billy 2.0, which means we'll have a lot of flashbacks OR maybe Vecna will play with Dustin's mind, idk.

Hiiii! Thank you for caring about my opinion; I do enjoy talking about Stuff.

Okay, SO. Based on several interviews, written and recorded, with several people in the cast/crew of the show, plus the writers' actions in the past, plus everything the Duffers have said lately:

To my extreme regret and misery, my opinion is that they totally will not be bringing Eddie back. Not officially.

The Duffers have said that Eddie was always gonna die. That there was no scenario in which the people of Hawkins would not be out for his blood once Chrissy had died in his trailer. That the only logical outcome for the character was always that he'd die. Like. They wrote him to kill him off. And I get the vibe that Eddie wasn't written as that lovable a character until Mr. Quinn interpreted him a certain way.

I think that if he makes a reappearance at all, yeah, I agree with you that they'd probably do it in a Dustin-trauma-Billy-2.0 thing.

I don't think for one second that they're bringing Eddie back. If they did, it would be pure fanservice at this point, because they never intended for him to survive. Crew members have publicly said they understand that we love him and they hear us, and they loved him too. Someone made a freaking corn field design of Eddie's face. Metallica gave the actor a replica of Eddie's guitar. METALLICA. It's not like the show crew/creators are unaware of the love.

So to me, I think if they brought him back in S5, it would be just because they want to capitalize on the love we have for Eddie. And when stories pander to fans instead of just doing what the writers originally intended, or what the writers would have done without the fan influence, stories usually suffer. Cuz when all's said and done, successful show writers are successful for a reason. If they change their plans for fans, the story's direction could change, or they'd add/take away to it and it might not flow as smoothly. If they brought Eddie back, we'd all be happy for that first viewing, but later on I think it might prove itself to be bad story-wise. Like, what, Eddie's randomly there? Eleven suddenly revives him after he's been decomposing in the Upside Down? We still don't understand how she was literally able to jumpstart Max's body after she clinically died. Dusting 001 into an alternate dimension out of nowhereis pretty insane for a super-powered kid to do, though, so hey, maybe she can fully resurrect the dead. Regardless of the dead's loss of blood, ruptured vital organs, many holes in his actual flesh from where demonic bats ate him alive. We've suspended our disbelief far enough in the past; what's a little more? (I'm only being 30% facetious; I am all for El bringing Eddie back to life.)

I think the story would suffer especially if he's a vampire, which I 100% believe will not happen. It's such a cool headcanon for him to mirror the story of Kas in D&D lore, in a way, but. It doesn't. Work? For the show's lore/established expectations? I can elaborate later if you want! But I love all the fan creativity surrounding the Kas Theory; the idea of Eddie as a vampire? hamana hamana hamana-

Basically, they'd have to jump through a lot of hoops to make it make sense. It's not fair he died, but they could give us closure in other ways. (I don't want the other ways. I throw them across the room like a toddler with mashed peas. I spit in the Duffers' general direction.) I think they'll prove to the town that Eddie was innocent all along. The best way (in my humble, unpublished, un-famous-show-writer opinion) for them to do that would be to let all of Hawkins see that they've been dealing with a very-real alternate dimension for years now, and that that's what was killing people, and that Eddie actually died helping to try and stop this dimension and its creatures from hurting the town.

They could do a lot of things to fix Eddie's story, though. My leading, super-vague theory would be that the Upside Down is clearly wonky time-wise. Time froze there the day Will disappeared, right? So - ehh, this implies time can be manipulated in that dimension (I think). I'm no sci-fi expert or anything, I have no idea what I'm talking about-

And if time can be manipulated, maybe Vecna's manipulating it? Which means that El, who has the same abilities as Vecna, can also manipulate it. So my biggest theory right now is that she turns back time in the Upside Down, so that whoever died in the UD is rewound so that they're not dead (Barb, Eddie, etc.). In fact, one idea I've thought they might do for the show's finale is that El uses her powers to completely reverse everything that happened in the Upside Down since the moment 001 became Vecna. And maybe no one remembers its influence on Hawkins (or maybe only the Party does, and the victims). That's the only way I can see them bringing Eddie back, if it's not flashbacks or Vecna visions.

Thanks for the ask!

If you're my mutual or we've interacted before please read this,

So to save your time im going on a hiatus.

And here's some elaboration;

Tumblr have never failed to put a smile on my face it's a fun website to visit and i've always enjoyed the content made here, and most of all, enjoyed interacting with poeple that have always been very kind and sweet and some even consider me a friend which is a far bigger deal to me than one may think because of personal reasons and i really mean it when i say Tumblr never fail to make my day with those silly posts and inside jokes that may mean nothing, overall, it's my go-to place to relax from my noisy life and be my questionable silly little inner violetta that im thankful no one really judged, and it was a breath of fresh air when i signed in here. I've treated my account, like most poeple, as my account where i talked about stuff i enjoyed and my opinions in things, ect... but if you are my mutual i feel like you did notice sometimes i slip and im no longer enjoying my inner self like i usually do, which is common. It does happen to lots of poeple where real life issues just hit too hard for them to enjoy their distractions they used as coping mechanism to keep themselves sane just like i do that's why no one really judges that from what i concluded in my experience. However, as many times as everyone thankfully ignore that, those moments still bother me every time cuz it's never been about other users noticing, it's never been anything outside of personal. Like i said before, this is my prefered go-to comfort space that i open to rest from real life issues and the effects it had on me, and the interference that accure between them never fail to make my health worse, and so i don't go to details, this place simply start to lose its charm for me because it began losing the one thing i personally associated it with. Which is why as far as i believe, it'll be better to take a pause from being active here. Because sometimes the stuff that help us get through things that hurts, shouldn't be exposed to it, and the less harmful option is to hide it so we can go back to it when we're desperate for comfort instead of losing it completely.

Naturally, I have no idea how long i'll be on a hiatus for, it may take months, or maybe a year, who knows, even if i wish for it to be sooner than later, it's something that happen undecided, but it may most likely last at least until my personal crisis calms down and im a little more stable and ready to use once again that one violet that i admit i've mistreated as well, because in order to stop my stress and mental health from sneaking into my safe space i must face it and deal with it, which im really scared of, but that's pretty much what is left to do. Things that go our way aren't necessarily our ideal solutions.

It's a silly little hiatus for most poeple, but behind it, im going to a metaphorical war and im scared that's why im writing this long useless elaboration post before getting a pause from all my social media not just tumblr and try to look after myself in a way i've been running away from.

And if you're reading this as my moot or we've interacted, i do hope you understand this and mostly hope that everything will stay good between us once i come back sooner or later, it's already gonna be awkward for me to do anything i like again after im basically right now going to ditch my self care, so i just want you to keep in mind i do not want to lose you or anyone in here and we could remain in good terms.

And happy new year from now, since i won't be able to celebrate it here. I wish everyone on tumblr a healthy and lucky new year lifestyle starting or continuing from 2023 and fortune will follow everyone everywhere. And merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and whatever other holiday i won't celebrate in here, im sending all my love throughout those times and all time, thanks to everyone for everything and hopefully i get to interact with you guys later on.

With all my geniune love, Violetta.

Random saiki headcanons

Saiki x reader

Reader’s gender isn’t specified

Authors Note: There are random headcannons that I randomly think about but can’t make them into their own thing cuz I can’t think of a way to elaborate them into further detail.

———————————————————————

ok so we all know saiki isn’t the most affectionate person out there— at least in the beginning. But I feel like later on in the relationship he likes to hold your hand a lot, especially in public. He’ll just automatically hold your hand without even thinking about it. Seriously he doesn’t even realize he’s holding your hand until someone points it out or you let go of his hand yourself. When you do let go of his hand he turns his head so fast in your direction to figure out why you let go of his hand.

In the relationship I see saiki letting you take charge while he goes along with it because it makes you happy. You still check in with him because you also want him to be happy, you’re always met with “Do what you want.”, “if that’s what you want, I don’t mind.” And “whatever makes you happy.” Every time you ask and Kusuo always reassures you that he’s fine with whatever plans you made for the day. It does make his heart swell a little that you ask him anyways, he won’t tell you though. But it’s little things like that, that affirm the reason why he’s in a relationship with you.

Also if you have a hard time making decisions or are the kind to sacrifice your happiness and comfort for others, Kusuo is even more adamant that you guys do stuff you want to do together, you deserve it after all.

When you guys aren’t together he uses his clairvoyance to see what you’re up to when he’s bored. You could literally just be sitting around in your room spacing out, doing a whole lot of nothing and he could watch you all day. Even more so if you like to talk to yourself, it’s very entertaining and sometimes you make a very compelling argument. He likes to use it as blackmail too as a way to embarrass next time you’re with him.

I feel like if saiki gets into a relationship with someone it will be his first and only relationship. Like the person he gets with is his one and only.

His family is oddly encouraging when it comes to you spending alone time with him, yes even his grandparents (mainly his grandma) they let you guys have a room all to yourselves and his parents cry tears of joy on how their son is growing up so fast. “Every couple needs to have some alone time!” they say, as you feel your face turn red, it doesn’t take two brain cells to figure out what they’re implying. His brother sometimes joins in but as usual he’s weird about it so Kusuo takes you away from his brother’s presence.

Also during the car ride with his parents and grandparents you’ve had to sit on his lap because of the lack of space and his family were all ecstatic about it. Nothing happened of course, but it did feel nice to be held by him so he took note of it and now you get held by him a lot more often.

Sometimes he’ll randomly kiss your cheek out of nowhere and he never gives you an explanation. It’s always when you’re not completely paying attention too, so it always throws you off. From his perspective he loves watching you process what he did, get a little flustered from the unexpected affection and watching you smile before returning the gesture. You never know when he’s going to do it but get him back when he’s wearing his ring.

That being said you guys do like to cuddle in the comfort of Kusuo’s room and it usually ends with both of you sleeping curled up next or on top of each other. His parents have a couple of pictures of your two napping. (Kusuo might’ve stolen one for safe keeping and has it stashed somewhere in his room)

Whenever Kusuo buys you a gift and plans to give it to you he always aports the item he got you last minute and cycles through things he thinks you might like before settling on what he originally got for you. This is all happening before you even open the box or bag the gift is in, he just wants to make you happy. You deserve nothing but the best and you’re always happy with his gifts so it works out just fine. The same happens with you— except you can’t aport stuff but you still get nervous whenever you give Kusuo a gift. I feel like It’s a little tricky to buy stuff for him because he’s pretty indifferent to many things except for sweets, but buying nothing but sweets for him for almost every occasion feels cheap and halfassed so you do your best and try to find stuff he might like or need (doesn’t mean you don’t get him sweets, you just don’t do it for every occasion.). He already knows what you got him because of his powers but hey it’s the thought that counts.

Sometimes you like to show saiki memes and he doesn’t understand them at all and it’s very clear too because he’ll either give you a blank look or be visibly confused looking at it, he’ll then look at you and say “I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you’re very simple minded and easily entertained.” And you’re not even mad about it because that made it funnier. Which encourages you to show him more memes. You’ll send him a meme with no context with “you” to accompany it and sometimes he’ll respond with “me.”

Which brings me to my next point, saiki is very very dry when it comes to texting and uses proper punctuation so he gives you a proper heart attack when you ask him something and he responds with something like “ok.” He just doesn’t see the point in texting when he can talk to you via telepathy, but you like to send him memes so that’s probably the only reason why he checks his phone. So your conversation just looks like you talking to yourself with Saiki occasionally responding to whatever is you asked him. In short he leaves you on read through text but answers you via telepathy, while complaining why you even text him in the first place since he’s a psychic and then explains why texting him defeats the purpose since you can just ask him through telepathy. So you text him anyways :)

Since you know about his powers sometimes you’ve spotted him as a cat or as Kuriko and it gets a little awkward sometimes. Like I said he likes to hold your hand and it’s something he automatically goes for without even thinking. So when he held your hand as Kuriko Teruhashi, Mera and Chio were very confused. Kusuo was extremely relived that you know how to bullshit your way through things like this, it’s how you’ve gotten him out of many situations and this one is just another added to the list. You explained that Kuriko is Kusuo’s younger sister and that she’s a little shy and doesn’t talk much around strangers and likes to hold your hand as a form of comfort. He hates that you said that, but beggars can’t be choosers. But it got them to drop their suspicions and it even worked out when they saw the contents in his bag.

He tried to be affectionate with you as a cat, thinking you wouldn’t know it was him, but you instantly found him out when you saw the control devices on the cat’s collar that looked very similar to your beloved boyfriend saiki as it rubbed up against your leg trying to get your attention and he wants to die every time he thinks about it. You began to tease him about it, telling him that if he wanted more attention from you he could’ve just asked for it, getting a “shut up you weren’t supposed to know it was me.” in retaliation as he let you shower him with lots of kisses and affection, he’s a very cute kitty. He ended up purring and wholeheartedly denies it and tries to convince you that it never happened. But you know what happened and you’re never letting him live it down.

When Touma transferred and started asking people about Kusuo, Kusuo made sure you practically never left his side because he knew Touma was waiting until he left you alone to question you. So he walked you to and from school, to your classes and stayed close to you during lunch or when there was any form of free time during school hours. He knew Touma has been following you guys for a couple of days and would take long and elaborate ways to his house and then teleport you both home when he was sure you guys weren’t in Touma’s sight. For the most part it worked. Until it didn’t. Touma was aware of what Kusuo was doing which only made him want to talk to you even more. You’re the closest to Kusuo and you’re even dating him (Touma had a hunch but didn’t think Kusuo was capable of having a partner so just assumed you guys were just close), so you clearly know something his friend group doesn’t because he’s not guarding them as fiercely as he is with you.

It was inevitable that Kusuo wouldn’t be with you and it was when you were running errands on the weekend, and Touma wasn’t going to let that opportunity go to waste and instantly cornered you and asked you questions nonstop leaving you no room to answer, and if you were being honestly you were so thrown off that you didn’t even process half the shit he said or asked. You know how when you’re not expecting to interact with people and then get caught by surprise and just completely forget everything you know. That’s what happened here, and you were just straight up confused and weren’t processing anything this man was saying. You mentally gathered yourself together and called out to Kusuo via telepathy basically going “mom come get me, I’m scared. :,)” and like a good boyfriend that’s exactly what he did.

You’ve seen Kusuo take way too long making a decision on which coffee jelly to buy that you told him that you can easily make it for him at home, it’s not exactly the hardest thing the world to make, so that’s what you did. You made different kinds, using different kinds of coffee, gelatin and agar agar to see which he likes better. Saiki helped by getting you the different kinds of coffee and he’s planning a wedding as we speak.

Feather Sensitive

Summary: Oh, Yamaguchi’s really done it this time. He should just keep his mouth shut from now on. Unfortunately, that’s the exact opposite of what Hinata wants.

A/N: Y’ello! Another off-brand one, but hopefully a fandom peeps recognize. I haven’t seen Haikyuu in a lil, but I love Yamigoops and this has been 90% done for forever so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Based entirely off the second headcanon here, by @ticklishnonsense — absolutely loved it and you can tell cuz I wrote this ages ago for no other reason than having it written down for myself~

A big thank you to OP for letting me use her work as inspiration!!

———

This was a mistake. This was a mistake. This was a mistake.

Yamaguchi can’t will his mind into more elaborate thought, because it’s all just suddenly sunken in.

Hinata’s weight, heavy but not uncomfortable, resting snug on his hips. The loose tank top, just slightly too big on him, stolen out of Kageyama’s stuff at some point during one sleepover or another. And that ridiculously giant feather Hinata’s got poised between his fingers, like it’s a quill and Yamaguchi is a trembling, twitchy sheet of parchment about to be marked up.

When had he told Hinata? Why had he told Hinata?

Tsukki had figured it out, years and years ago; during one of their many one-sided tickle fights, Yamaguchi thinks. It’s been used against him for as long as he can remember, stray fluff from down pillows and blankets brushed over his neck or feet to pull a sudden and squeaky laugh. He’s never, ever told Tsukki just how much it really tickled though, and Tsukki never asked.

So why did he have to go and mention this to a person just as skilled and merciless in tickling people—often Yamaguchi people—into boneless puddles of teary, hysterical laughter?

It’s got to be Hinata’s charm. If Tsukishima has his cold, borderline apathetic, poise to lay base for his killer teasing method, then Hinata’s strength comes in his natural curiosity. Wide eyes, a light voice, and an openness that makes Yamaguchi feel like he can talk to him.

This, apparently, is not the case in a topic involving feathers. Because Yamaguchi will apparently lose all sense of self-preservation and voice his thoughts on how unbearably sensitive he is to a thing most people will flinch at and brush away like nothing.

But of course, it’s too late for him to realize his mistake now. It wasn’t until Hinata came barreling down the hall, shopping bag in hand, to tackle Yamaguchi to the living room carpet that things started rolling into motion.

Now Hinata’s got Yamaguchi pinned, arms under his knees and a big, big smile stretched over his face. It’s so genuine and excited that Yamaguchi finds himself getting a little lost in it, at least until the feather comes back into focus.

“I mean come on, Yamaguchi.” Hinata holds the quill of the feather and traces the soft end up his own arm, dusting it over his collarbone and getting just a hint of a twitch out of his lips before twirling it between his fingers. “I almost think that you’re lying to me.”

But his face must convince Hinata otherwise, because he doesn’t look like he thinks it’s a lie. The tracing of the feather, even along Hinata’s skin has Yamaguchi twitching, breathing funny. Goosebumps rise along his arms, and Hinata is so riled up with energy—so ready to take Yamaguchi apart—that it’s practically impossible for the brunette to even try and stop the wobbly smile making its way onto his face.

Hinata is the one to burst the bubble of anticipation building slowly in Yamaguchi’s gut. He laughs, a delighted little sound, commenting on the cute pink of Yamaguchi’s blush before he goes in for the kill. And Yamaguchi has never been that great at holding back his reactions, especially when he’s already a tense and flustered mess untouched, so the result is pretty immediate.

The first giggle slips hesitantly out of his throat but clears the way for many more as Hinata gently traces the base of his neck, skimming over his collarbones like even a feather could break them if used too harshly.

It’s a little timid, a little reserved, which is a major change of pace from Hinata’s usual quick and dirty way of fighting. He’s always had a ‘take no prisoners’ sort of approach to a tickle fight; either win outright or die trying, but the new method seems to slow him down a bit.

He’s thinking, watching. And luckily, for him and most certainly not Yamaguchi, the change seems to work really well with the soft touch of the feather. Pulling giggle after giggle from his victim and making him sputter at the attention when he realizes how closely he’s being observed.

The plume travels slowly up Yamaguchi’s neck, high enough that he’s able to jerk his head to block out either side as it passes. Unfortunately, that just causes Hinata to speed up the back and forth strokes, attempting to dodge Yamaguchi’s blocks. And it’s effective and so much more ticklish, Yamaguchi chokes on his sudden snort and tosses his head back on impulse, laughter getting louder and more desperate as Hinata takes advantage of the newly exposed skin.

He keeps at it until Yamaguchi feels light-headed, a little delirious with his laughter completely unchecked. The feather strays to flick up over his ear, and the whimpering laugh that comes out keeps Hinata there until Yamaguchi’s shoulder is twitching spastically of its own accord, desperately trying to stop the light, constant brush over his sensitive skin.

He gets a break—thank God—after a few minutes of this. Being dubbed most ticklish in the house (after many, many tests) has left him with pretty high stamina. But somehow a few minutes of Hinata and a feather has him panting for breath like he’d just finished a hundred laps around the gym.

Yamaguchi is so caught up in catching his breath (and trying to calm that tic in his shoulder) that he doesn’t really think about how breaks aren’t much of Hinata’s style either.

His floaty mind comes to bite him when he feels two soft points of contact touch down on his wrists.

His arms jolt on instinct. His elbows move a smidge in either direction but stick firm to the ground. Hinata’s smile takes on a wicked gleam and...oh boy.

If Yamaguchi gets out of this alive, the others will have some real competition for scariest tickler.

The feathers sweep back and forth, back and forth over his arms. They start at the wrist, and would almost feel nice if not for the impending sense of doom that has blood rushing through Yamaguchi’s ears right now.

The swaying movement drifts up, painfully slow. He doesn’t even think it tickles that much right now, but that doesn’t stop him from physically biting his lip to stop the snickers from making their way out.

It’s when the pair reach his inner elbow that first crack appears. Yamaguchi gasps and Hinata perks up, keeping the feathers there a moment longer, letting them sweep side to side a little faster.

From there the cracks spiderweb exponentially.

The gasp ends up turning into a snort. As Himata continues his path upward, it becomes a whine. And when he’s at the faint line where his skin darkens with a tan, from long summer days spent out in a t-shirt, he decides to flick the feathers in an alternating pattern over either arm.

It has Yamaguchi rocking back and forth in a way that he guesses might look kind of funny. Hinata starts laughing anyways. And of course, it’s enough to get Yamaguchi’s lips to loosen and let out the stream of bubbling giggles he’s been suppressing for far too long already.

His arms feel warm, almost as hot as his face, even though their air conditioning has been working pretty decently lately. There’s a faint tingly feeling still left where the feathers had once brushed his skin.

Everything already feels so sensitive, and Hinata isn’t even there yet.

There are butterflies having a—a mosh pit in his stomach right now. He can’t remember the last time he felt so wound up getting tickled. Then again, he can’t remember the last time Hinata put this much...care? Is that the right word for this situation? —into destroying him.

It makes Yamaguchi a little happy, for some reason.

And sometime about that moment seems to be the limit for Hinata’s concentration, because the change from gentle, teasing touches to his usual form of attack is both quick and excruciating.

The moment after, when Yamaguchi suddenly has two feathers sweeping fast little strokes under his arms, his brain completely short circuits.

What leaves his mouth can only be called a shriek and it’s quickly drowned out by the squeaky, panicked laughter that floods the room immediately.

His chest is jerking side to side in vain. There’s hair in his eyes and a little in his mouth from how violently he’s tossing his head around, but he can’t register a thing beyond the millions of wispy, light strands fluttering a fast track over and over and over the soft and sensitive skin beneath his restrained arms.

Hinata gets the bright idea to not try and jam the delicate things towards the floor anymore. He instead tries twirling them in a circular motion in the spaces underneath Yamaguchi’s arms.

Yamaguchi didn’t think his voice was high enough to screech like he used to, but ‘Hey, you learn something new everyday,’ he thinks, entirely delirious.

His back arches off the ground, head tossing back then pressing into his shoulder as if it’ll somehow smother his hysterical laughter.

It’s bright and desperate and so, so loud. Yamaguchi would typically only reach this point when someone’s feeling particularly ruthless with plenty of time to spare, but it could be hours since Hinata first got him pinned down; it sure feels like it.

There are weird little squeaks that pierce the air when he’s got the breath. His limbs are doing this constant squirm that’s got him feeling hot all over. His lashes feel wet and he knows it’s a matter of seconds before the tears start to fall.

But nothing is more prominent than the feeling of soft, soft, so very soft; and it tickles, it tickles, it really tickles.

———

When Yamaguchi’s brain finally starts rebuilding from the mush, hiccuping giggles making their way through his gasps for breath, he feels Hinata still sitting on top of him. Thankfully—mercifully—though, the feathers are nowhere to be seen, and his hands have been let free.

Seeing Hinata’s hand in his peripheral makes him flinch, but he just wipes at Yamaguchi’s cheek, brushing away the leftover moisture.

“I had to stop because you were starting to look like a strawberry,” Hinata grins. His skin is cool against Yamaguchi’s. He leans into the touch.

“So...was that awesome or what?” Hinata continues, voice energetic though he still rubs a soothing motion over Yamaguchi’s cheek.

Yamaguchi takes a second to reflect. On the dreamy tiredness seeping into his bones, the floaty high that fills up his head.

He nods, once or twice. Though from where Hinata’s sitting, it could just be Yamaguchi nuzzling into his hand. That’s fine. Yamaguchi could use the plausible deniability.

Once he’s been declared as officially ‘not a strawberry anymore,’ Hinata helps him up. He only stumbles a little bit, but of course Hinata has to poke fun.

“You know what that means?” Hinata throws out, arm linked with Yamaguchi’s as they make their way to a well-deserved seat on the couch.

Yamaguchi hums in response.

“We’ve gotta start building up your tolerance.”

Yamaguchi’s eyes widen, but he’s pushed onto the couch with a lap full of Hinata before he can say anything. He looks up at Yamaguchi all big eyes and a bigger smile. Yamaguchi swallows.

Ok so i just read all of the letters of blood masquerade and made a f strategy to make my decision.

First of all: Hongjoong's letter just made me NOT choose him like the good lil brat i am 😈 even tho he was the one who most caught my attention

Then i proceed to elaborate some thoughts, and the wolf would probably know that fox sent the ring and raven the glove, so that could be a huge mistake....

Eliminating these four i had four more to go, personal preference took the best of me and i choose the letters who left me more intrigued, which were the San and Yeosang's ones. Won't tell you my final choice but just giving you guesses 😂😂😂😂

Well, i don't need to say that once again I'm obsessed with your work and that's another serie that i will be hyped for!!

Oh side note, i was really surprise to see a little Portuguese on your writing, since I'm brazilian hahaha I'm also seeking the alegria da vida!!

Love u caly ❤️

Btw if u can't tell already I'm a shinestar BUT IM NOT LETTING THIS MEN CONTROL ME!!! *Even tho i was going to choose him after reading his letter cuz man's a flirt gentleman* but i was STRONG so i want kudos

MADE A STRATEGY PLSSS i love that 😭 heh i was pleasantly shocked to see my plan with hongjoong’s character actually came across just as intended 😳 im interested to see how everything else pans out now 🧐

there are indeed lots of wild cards in this group of characters and lots of things that could cause domino effects... all v intriguing interesting fascinating stuff... that’s another thing to think about tho, do they all know what each other are sending??? 🤔

i love that the two you found most intriguing were san and yeosang when they’re also the ones that offered veiled threats and more mystery eheh im happy to see it 😌 im glad you’re excited too !!! all the hype around it is so encouraging and makes me so happy im so thankful 😭

and the little portuguese too!! i must admit im a bit enamored with the language, it’s such a pretty language in my mind, one that i’ve been learning slowly but surely ! i love including it in fic tho i find it so pretty 😖 and BIG KUDOS for escaping the shinestar clutches 😤

Just a ramble! Not anything big, just a usual long ramble so :)

@uncharted-darkness tagging you so you can see it.

Spoilers for bnha manga:

Okay uhhhh so. If you know me. You’ll know that edgejeanist is the only thing that is on my brain. Basically all of the time.

So as usual I just wanted some nice domestic fluffy edgejeanist. (Also I’m still incredibly happy for people to send in scenarios and headcanons for them or ideas if you’d like, they really have been making me feel better, I just haven’t gotten the time to fully answer them yet so please do if you’d like!)

And so I was just thinking about them just being all happy and relaxing at home. And just being together because :)) and suddenly my brain went “okay now look at this weeks chapter leaks and merge the fluff with the current timeline!”

So then that made me think of them just being all stressed and if you saw this post of mine, you will know that I am now absolutely ecstatic that edgeshot is speaking and he’s here and I am very happy about it. But now they are working together in the same team so there is more of a chance for me to see a panel with the two of them in it (I don’t even need them to be talking I just get happy to see them both....I think that says something about me...)

But then I saw Deku. And just thought about Bakugou and I was like “oh yeah....Bakugou” (I don’t pay attention to the main characters that much if you haven’t noticed, I love them all to bits but I just don’t focus on them aha)

Also I have a headcanon linking to Bakugou and edgejeanist, that just kinda popped up one day but I liked it so????? And cuz my main focus most of the time is edgejeanist it just kinda stuck with me.....so if ya wanna hear more please ask n let me know cuz I will probably forget to write it down.

Which also reminds me I had another ramble I started with edgejeanist and the others that are grouped together with deku at the moment and it involves edgejeanists house....and in some variations of the scenario it includes lil Izumi.....so if you wanna hear about that one please let me know again cuz my memory is terrible.

Anyway. Enough getting sidetracked, Eclair.

Here’s the situation that I just was randomly thinking about....at the edgejeanist house....with Bakugou:

So jeans is back now. We know that. And now they’re all dealing with whatever the hell is going on rn. We’ve seen Tsunagu talk to Bakugou for like two seconds in the hospital and battlefield but that’s about it.

Bakugou has gone through a lot and he’s changed, we know this too.

So, can you imagine, it’s all calm at the edgejeanist house and they’re just trying to sort out hero stuff and maybe talk about stuff and recovering and just making the most of time(Jeans was “missing” for a rather long time yknow so.....there’s another thing I need to write things for...). When there’s just this really loud knock at the door and they are both full wary mode because of everything that’s going on. Until the door gets gently knocked on again.

Tsunagu opens the door and it’s just Bakugou standing there, looking kinda angry (like. His usual angry. Not angry angry. Just Bakugou face) but also kinda hesitant I guess? Shinya is peeking out from behind cuz he’s a curious little ninja and doesn’t trust anything.

And then he’s kinda just “Can we talk? You said that I can come and talk to you when I needed to, so here I am...”

Jeans is just “that’s true I did”

Edge is just confused cuz “how tf did you find our house”

Turns out Bakugou went to Jeanist’s agency and asked an intern and they were just kinda on edge and intimidated anyway so they said where (they knew it was Bakugou since obviously he went there and stuff idk).

They tell him to come inside because it’s safer, and Shinya goes to make him a cup of tea or whatever as Tsunagu walks him to the living room and just asks him how he is generally.

(It would help if I had elaborated my headcanon that I mentioned earlier but it’s long so summary: Bakugou already knows about edgejeanist so they aren’t worried about him finding out)

Our human stick of dynamite over here just starts crying. Like. Idk just, he just needs to let it all out y’know? They’ve all been through so much and for gods sake they are only kids- they did not need to be put through all of that.

He starts talking about everything that’s on his mind, he’s worried about deku and whatever to he’s doing rn, there’s so many heroes that he’s probably worried about, his classmates, teachers possibly retiring/not really alive anymore.....(;-;) and he just breaks down, either asking for advice or not, knowing that they’ll listen until he’s finished.

The two heroes are just sat there and kinda look at each other and are like “ah.....right....” and Shinya kinda just leaves it to Tsunagu to talk to him mainly, cuz he’s his teacher intern person thingy yknow?

Explody boy asking Shinya how he dealt with Tsunagu going missing for that long......Shinya just replying quietly and trying to give some form of advice from it?

And. Idk just deep and meaningful discussions and emotions and everything and I just....wanna see that :)

I just wanna see domestic and parental edgejeanist.....and this time it’s with bakugou for some reason so yeah.

I don’t remember much else from this daydream but here you go! Feel free to send stuff in to ask me to elaborate or discuss it because my brain has not got the organisation skills for that right in this post right now...Or ask me about those headcanons or scenarios that I’ve mentioned and stuff! ❤️

*♡･ﾟ:* Get To Know The Writer!

REPOST DON’T REBLOG

——— BASICS! ♡

NAME: mc / mimi / charm / vi

PRONOUNS: she / her ( but lately been questioning a lot of things about myself so we’ll see how it goes )

ZODIAC SIGN: cancer ( but my best friend will scream scorpio or sagittarius lmao )

TAKEN OR SINGLE: taken for like the better part of 2 & 1/2 years

——— THREE FACTS! ♡

i have a bachelors in psychology and i’m currently saving up money to go to med school to be a psychiatrist. i have worked and taken interest in a lot different psych fields but i notably worked during college in an education lab studying the effects of multilingual learning in the classroom especially for minority students, and a sleep lab so if you want fun facts about sleep and memory my dumbass self can probably tell you some things

i have a series, a novel, a poetry book, and short story collection currently in the works but i’ve been super busy and tired that i have not had time to actually write them ( big sad )

i like to dance and sing and make music. when i was less busy and frantic, i wrote songs and made beats and i have some things saved up. i was also learning 8 other languages but fucking life so now i’m only re-learning spanish and learning french. but i’m just...busy cuz adulting and living in america isn’t cheap

——— EXPERIENCE! ♡

i was in the percy jackson fandom and i got into roleplaying then like a long time ago. then my two longest and most wonderful rp partners also mentors, drew-a-tanaka & ribbedxgloves, took me under their wings and wrote with me and taught me stuff about the rp community. i haven’t left since. i never really went on any other platform and this blog is ancient. all my characters are ocs and even my gods are mainly of my own creation, and i continuously add more because no one stops. i have ocs that seem like au’s of their fcs and they’re not but after a while of being here and thinking of elaborate backgrounds and just having them pile up, sometimes i get lazy changing their first name which is super dumb of me because their last names are different but i was like hahahah not changing your first name

——— MUSE PREFERENCE! ♡

i like muses that can make me feel honestly. who i can instantly vibe with. i also have 150 muses ( maybe more, i’m kidding i’m not that crazy sometimes ) so it’s never really difficult to find the right one that can connect with someone else’s character. i just really love storybuilding and interlocked muses. like my whole world now ( in the main verse ) is based off the world i created with my girlfriend and you will see me mention greyson or cho or pack when it comes to some of my characters because it’s from having interlocked muses, and i am always down for that. just make all the worlds with me and let’s just have fun

——— FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT! ♡

FLUFF: listen i have so many assholes they need the fluff lmao, but also like in general i adore it. i write pretty things when fluff is involved and it just makes me happy and giddy so give it to me always

ANGST: I LOVE ANGST. like please give me toxicity and anger and frustration and questioning loyalties. i did this more when i had my horror blog but sometimes i just want my muses to suffer for no damn reason. and then sometimes i really do want a well-thought out plot for angst

SMUT: i will write but i also don’t feel much for it. like if it happens, it happens. i go into explicit detail when i write it but it’s always under a read more. and honestly i only true care about smut when the ship involved is super well thought out and there’s more to than just sex. even with my like super sexually charged ships ( i.e. geryon and drew ) they both have this elaborate plot going on and this demon / demigod dynamic that’s fun to write and they’re not all just about sex despite it being a factor in their relationship

PLOT / MEMES: i ramble a lot so give me the plots, all of it. i’m always so excited and happy and i just love them so much. i like exploring new ideas. memes are great too but honestly i tend to post a lot of memes so people can reblog without having to go to the source lmao. you all can always reblog from me i do not mind and you are more than welcome to send me stuff <3 <3 <3

Do you have any hcs for Magnus taking ppl to pride for the first time? I kinda feel like he’d act as a guide for others, making sure everyone feels safe and happy during their first time. Like, I can picture him bringing daylighter Raphael out for the first time, showing Meliorn around (bc even though they’ve been around for a while, the Seelies don’t really do human stuff) and holding Alec’s hand while he looks around in amazement.

well surprise surprise this got very long. bet y’all never saw that coming

ok so i particularly love this ask because like, the idea of meliorn going to pride for the first time is a riot and i adore it

like seelie society has developed completely independently from mundane society in every way, hell, it existed before humans did. so there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to believe that their culture even has the concepts of gender of sexuality, and believing that it would be the same as modern western ones is just straight up anachronistic tbh

so like personally i hc that seelie society has no gender (and therefore no concept of sexuality in the way that we see it), so the idea of pride- doesn't even make sense to them, cuz there's no concept of these identities, much less a history of oppression that would bring forward the need to celebrate their resistance like there currently is

so meliorn would want to go just to like, see what that's like and what's it all about. and the whole time they're just following Magnus around and like, taking notes. hm, interesting, what is this trans thing again? ah yes, people who dont think their personality matches the one mundanes believe would be brought by their genitals. hm. fascinating. and Magnus is just like, laughing loudly and it's the best pride he's ever been to, because he knows how ridiculous queerphobia and cishetnormativity are, but meliorn can make that so clear in their words in a way thats just, like, fantastic to hear, you know? and they dont even mean to, but it's great all the same

plus meliorn actually does feel good because a lot of people look at them and smile broadly or even wave, especially younger people who are just like, in awe of them and Magnus, who are so unapologetically gnc and indisputably beautiful, and looking at them is just like, inspiring, you know? and Meliorn has never felt this admired and appreciated and they dont even fully understand why, they're just walking around in their usual clothing and leaf makeup and everyone is just like, in love with them. and it's nice. they can tell there's an edge of sadness to the whole thing, like how their normal everyday existence seems to be so shocking and refreshing for these people, but mostly they feel good about it

later they bring their findings to the other seelies - you know, the ones who dont usually leave the realm and are way less familiar with mundane culture(s) than they are - and the others are like. shut up. there's no way this is real. the shape of their genital defines what wavelength they are supposed to find appealing? this makes no sense. and meliorn's like "idk what to tell u buddy i literally physically can't lie" and they're like surely this is an elaborate prank

but anyway it's fun and nice and they enjoy it greatly and ask Magnus a lot of questions, and Magnus loves going with them more than anyone else because its just so fun and the way this is completely unnatural to them feels refreshing - Magnus doesnt have to explain why he feels the way he feels, for once, but rather he has to explain why people dont get that, and thats a good change tbh

okay onto other ppl im sorry for this tangent djdndjdndk RAPHAEL YES. god i just. okay i love the mental image of Magnus taking Raphael to pride aaaaaaaa

like okay first of all so many layeRS to make this emotional, okay. the fact that he's now a daylighter and can enjoy being out in the sun, the fact that this is a bright costumed parade and it kinda reminds him of the día de los muertos parade and makes him feel at home, the fact that he gets to celebrate and meet other ace ppl - just, so many good things going on here dundidmdi

and Raphael was kinda unsure about going because 1- pride can get pretty sexual at times, and while he gets it and doesn't mind other people's business, he doesn't want to be hit on or participate in that; 2- big crowd makes senses go craycray and it can get very overwhelming and he's scared of overload, plus it's just not his scene in general with huge parties and such. but a part of him does want to go and he's torn, so of course Magnus is immediately like "oh dear, don't worry, i can take you, i'll make sure it's good" and Raphael is like okay

so Magnus takes him and it's :') nice, because as always he’s just so attentive. disclosure i’ve only ever been to the São Paulo pride so i’m gonna go with how it works in here but im assuming it’s not that different in like, other places. also São Paulo currently has the biggest pride parade in the world along with NYC so you know, i think it’s influential at the very least

anyway so he finds a section that’s led by ace pride groups, one that’s considerably small (in number of ppl) and spacious, and it’s. nice. very nice. magnus makes it a point to paint the ace pride colors on raphael’s face (we deserve raphael in makeup tbh) and raphael is all like “it’s fine, it’s not like i’ll want to draw a lot of attention” (like he isn’t wearing the ace flag colors already) and magnus is like hush, let me have this, i want my boy to have a good pride experience. so raphael lets him and hides his smile and lets him, and it’s. cute okay

also idk why but i have the mental image of raphael seeing some other latino guy with some sign like. “i’m not your fetish” or something of the sort, and kind of tearing up because his whole life he’s been seen as this kind of sexual fantasy that couldn’t not be about sex, much less not be interested in it, and he feels seen. and it’s nice, okay

and as promised it’s not too overwhelming in matters of like people, tactile issues and such (there’s little magnus can do about the noise other than spell raphael to decrease his sensitivity so he doesn’t get overwhelmed, which is not ideal because it makes communication a bit harder between them, but he does it anyway if raphael asks him to), and if raphael gets tired, they can always turn into a corner and take a portal back home and cuddle the post-crowd jitteriness away. so it’s a success. and raphael hugs magnus later and thanks him and says that it was so great, that he’s missed this, the energy and the colors and the sun, and he never thought he’d get to have it again, and he did thanks to magnus. and magnus hugs him back and tells him “anything for you, my boy,” and it’s the sweetest thing okay im emo

also okay this still falls under Raphael and Meliorn but the POLYCULE okay, or at least saiaphaeliorn. like sign me the fuck up for the 4 of them together at pride, meliorn and magnus helping make some cute pride-themed makeup on the other 3, just aaaaaaaaa. maia looking absolutely gorgeous with her face framed in the bright bi colors, maybe a sunny dress with the trans flag colors? just because i think she’d look so cute in like, a mostly white dress with baby pink and blue details, okay. simon just paints the pan flag on his cheek but it’s still vibrant and cute and it suits him. and ghhghghghg meliorn delicately painting raphael’s face with colorful glitter..... effervescent, okay. just beautiful

and they get to hold hands in public and laugh and crack jokes and simon loves the music and the festival and raphael smiles fondly at him and maia singing along (him and meliorn definitely don’t know what the fuck they’re singing, but it’s okay because they’re clearly happy and that makes the two of them happy too) and just duahsdiahdaiuha soft okay. also they all get to experience meliorn’s takes on the whole thing and it’s fantastic and as usual meliorn gets raphael to laugh until he almost cries, and simon smiles brightly at the sight and gives meliorn a peck for their efforts, and just aaaaaaaa

in short they’re SOFT and i’m SOFT. and look yes i know that usually parades esp big ones are super crowded (lord knows the SP pride parade is an experience) but if in SP with 5 million ppl parading i could find sections with less people where you had enough space to walk holding hands and hear each other and not be overwhelmed, then i’m sure they can too, especially with magic and powers at their disposal. so i’m going to have this

also like. as much fun as this is for magnus (and it definitely is, it’s very nice to get to enjoy to be himself openly, and to bring kids there for their first time, and you know), it’s also bittersweet because like. he was there at stonewall, he was there for the first pride, you know? and apart from the obvious part where he lost so many friends who were there, there’s just. the very bad memories of the riots, because as important as they are and as much as he obviously doesn’t regret them, riots are hard, they are the language of the oppressed. he’s had to magically protect people from being shot by the police, he’s had to withstand trial by the Clave for using magic to shield the people from the tear gas and risking being seen, he’s had to save a lot of lives and he’s failed at it sometimes, too (i’ll always hc that he’s the reason neither Marsha nor Sylvia died during the riots and you can pry that away from my cold, dead hands). and he’s also seen it be whitewashed and lose some of its resistance and meaning, he’s seen Sylvia be booed at a later march when she spoke against imprisonment, and he’s seen so much be lost

and in that sense going to pride with alec later on might be his favorite, because it’s not like, a first time where he’s trying to get everyone to have the most fun they can and shit, you know? plus alec loves watching more than he does participating, he feels way too exposed in the crowded streets with so many openings and whatnot. but watching from a rooftop, where he has the best view, can still hear the sounds and enjoy the colors and the beauty of it from a distance? that’s perfect for him, and it’s a different experience

and magnus sits by his side as they watch, hand in hand, and reminisces about everything that he’s experienced after so many years, all the changes he’s seen, how he feels pride but he also feels loss and he feels old, and he fears what happens if pride’s history is forgotten, you know? and alec listens to him, listens to his version of this story, playing with magnus’ fingers and just enjoying the sound of his voice and the sight. and it’s nice. alec is always super attentive and enjoys hearing him talk and magnus can get lost in his memories unapologetically, you know? and it’s good

but that’s later on, of course, when they’ve already attended plenty together. for alec’s first pride he probably wants it to be like, perfect, so much so that alec has to tell him to slow down again, because of course magnus wants alec to have The Full Pride Experience, but alec would rather soak it up slowly than participate in a lot of stuff, anyway. magnus paints the rainbow flag on his cheek (one of the only occasions alec lets magnus put glitter on him, then promptly complains for the next three months because i swear that stuff is still on my skin, magnus, the other day i found some on my shoes! and magnus laughs at his antics as always and alec is forced to laugh too and can’t even be mad) and they kind of stay more by the end, and alec is kind of smiling in disbelief to himself the whole time as he watches all the colors and the unapologetic way people express their pride, and magnus can’t stop looking at him and grinning, too. and they walk hand in hand and it’s cute

(later, magnus says, see, mundane culture isn’t so bad, is it? and alec looks at him with a way more serious look, full of joy and happiness, and says, no, it isn’t. and kisses him and thanks him for everything, and it’s sweet)

also I'm soft thinking about Magnus reminiscing about planning the first pride along with "his dear friend Brenda" to Alec and/or Raphael, them putting their arms around his shoulder as he tells them the softer stories, too, the good things they did

small bonus: Magnus plays 2 truths and a lie with Simon regarding his memories of past prides, and Simon gets it wrong every time and is all wide eyed by the end, which makes both Magnus and Raphael laugh :)

#ask #anonymous #sh #shadowhunters #magnus bane #malec #The Polycule™#saiaphaeliorn #simon lewis #maia roberts #raphael santiago #meliorn #alec lightwood #brotp: i'll do whatever it takes to protect them

Confrontation, A Winx Redux AU short

Roughly 2k words, kinda hurt/confort... I think. Stella, Riven, a diner, and the aftermath of the incident at Red Fountain’s Academic Showcase. (AO3)

It was 9PM, she was definitely breaking curfew, and Griselda will definitely give her the earful of her life when she gets back, but she didn’t care enough right now. Not after what happened at the Academic Showcase two days ago.

Bloom has only come out of her room to grab some food occasionally and she still doesn’t want to talk, and from what Brandon told her Sky is in more or less the same situation. She didn’t even want to imagine how Diaspro was feeling - she saw the reluctance in her speech on the news earlier that day and she was glad the redhead hadn’t seen it yet. She looked at the map on her phone to see if she was in the right direction, and finally arrived at the small diner she was heading to, recognizing the black motorcycle parked near the entrance. It was decently filled and the aroma of food was certainly promising, and that meant that she would not be noticed, even if her unusual dark clothes helped her blend in regardless. She started looking for a specific booth until she saw him.

“Hey, Riven” - she said with a familiar affection, even if the tone was pretty monotone - she was not in the best of moods. He seemed to be the same, if his expression was to be considered. “Hey yourself, Stella.”

She sat down opposite from him, and after quietly ordering their food they remained like that, Riven looking at her and she looking at the window absentmindedly, or at least she hoped that’s how she looked like. The silence finally broke with a question.

“So, was that why you asked me to not speak with you at all last year? The whole switch thing?” His tone sounded slightly hurt, but it was mostly just genuine curiosity. So he’s mad but not super mad, Stella thought to herself, so hopefully I can explain it without much issue. “More or less, yes.” She finally looked at him, and realized it might be more than just “mad”.

His eyes were very red, and while he tried to hide it a bit with that scowl, it was clear he had cried a bit. He was always bad with holding back tears.

“So for an entire year, I couldn’t hang with one of my best friends because of just some weirdass switch between a prince and his squire? For some marriage arrangement or whatever that shit was? Why the fuck did you even have to do with all that?!” He kept the tone low since they were in public, but it was clear he was hurting. From what she heard of what happened last year, she’s not surprised - and she really wished she had been there for him that time.

“More or less, yes”, she said again, before elaborating. “I was tasked to help with the cover of Prince Sky due to Eraklyon and Solaria’s ties, and as such anyone close to me that was not related to the Courts of Solaria or Eraklyon had to be cut off until it was deemed safe for Sky to reveal his identity”, she said, fully knowing how stupid that entire thing was. Erendor was being paranoid again and Samara only helped make that fear bigger, Sky knew how to use a sword and Brandon was always with him, he wasn’t in that much danger. She was happy her father agreed with her, but his hands were tied and the council accepted Eraklyon’s terms. She hated politics so much sometimes.

“So for an entire year, a year where I had one of the worst experiences of my life, a year I almost got expelled from Red Fountain, I could not talk with you, or even be near you, just because of some dumb royals deciding that you shouldn’t do all that?! For some dude?!” He wasn’t shouting yet, but he was getting close to. Her mind was telling her that she should try to calm him down, but her emotions acted first, her face twisting into a scowl matching his.

“Right, because I didn’t suffer anything at all that year no siree, not like I had to break up with my boyfriend for all this bullshit, not like I had to go through my parent’s divorce, not like I didn’t get actually fucking expelled from Alfea in the middle of the year for some dumb accident. No, only you suffered at all. Of course”, she practically hissed the last words, anger starting to overcome her. Riven looked ready to start actually yelling, but he stopped and had a deep breath. “Okay, fine. We both went through some shit, sorry I pretended you didn’t went through bad things. I mean that.” He did sound sincere and his expression had softened. She took a deep breath herself, and tried to see how to continue as their food got served. This was not how she expected their first conversation in a year and a half to go like this.

“Thank you for apologizing. I’m sorry too, I shouldn’t have made it seem like what you went through was nothing.” she started eating some of the steak they had ordered - nice consistency, though it could use more spices - before continuing. “I heard the rumors. That had to be hell on you.”

Riven took a bite himself, and looked out the window into the streets of Magica City. “It was, though I’m happy I didn’t get fully expelled and got the chance to stay at Red Fountain. My mother was between furious and ultra comforting when she found out,” he let out a small, sad chuckle at the memory before turning, “but that’s not what we’re here to talk about, Cami.” He finally looked her directly in the eye, and she was genuinely surprised at both her nickname and the topic change. “How are you taking all this?”

“Well, if Musa ever talks to me again even if it’s just insults I’ll be glad”, she looked down at her steak again, a sad look on her face. “It feels like she took it worse than Bloom and she wasn’t even involved. Tecna’s been mostly checking up on Bloom every hour to see if she’s starting to get better with Flora, and Aisha’s both understanding of why all this happened and also wanting to punch Sky and Erendor in the face.” She thought of that for a little longer, and the mental image made her giggle a bit. “As for myself… well, it’s good that I can no longer have to keep that hidden. On the other hand,” she looked out the window again”, I might have lost Bloom as a friend forever.” She still had the fire fairy’s scream fresh in her mind, of how she was a liar, a bad friend, of how she could have prevented her all this by telling her. She didn’t tell herself that it was her fault, but she still had part on it and she couldn’t deny that. “You?”, she returned the question, despite having already heard the answer. “How are you taking all this, especially with… well, with the Darcy thing also happening.”

It had been a week or so since the Trix’s identities had been revealed, and from what she knew the Roccaluce Paladins had been searching for Icy, Darcy and Stormy for all that time. She knew thanks to Musa that he had become good friends with the Solarian Witch, and all this on top certainly would not have helped. “Well, this didn’t help with that I can tell you that much,” called it, “but I feel at least this made me forget about that if only for a little bit.”, he looked back at her, sadness starting to lift from his head. “I still think this was completely stupid-” “it was, trust me”, she interrupted, “-but politics are like that from what I remember you telling me. So I guess I’m fine with it… for now”, he falsely threatened in that annoying fake tough guy tone of his, and she let out a small laugh at that familiarity. “I will see if this can hold up.”

“Thank you for that, Riven. It’s nice that we can finally talk again.” She reached out and held his hand, a genuine smile forming. “I missed this.”

“I missed it too, Cami”, he held the same smile, and they both finally started eating in full, catching up on lost time.

----

They had just finished eating, and they were waiting for the bill, when Stella asked some final questions. “Hey, have you kept in touch with the guys at all?”, a memory coming back to her forgotten in the previous talks. “Because last thing I heard is that you straight up disappeared after the Showcase.” Brandon had called her earlier that day to update her on things on his end, and he had admitted on not having seen Riven at all since then. He in turn sheepishly scratched the back of his neck, hints of embarrassment on his cheeks. “Uh, I… kinda went to sulk on the city for two straight days and I might or might not have tried to look for Darcy myself.” Stella immediately put her hand on her forehead, exasperated. “Of course you did. You were always bad with this type of stuff.” She looked back at him concerned. “You should go back already, you dumbass! Sky is being enough of a hassle as is, you don’t need to add to their worrying.” He let out an awkward laugh. “Yeah, I really should, I honestly just called you on impulse and… kinda went from there.” You’re always like that, Riven, she thought for a second. “I’m going to see if I can help coax Sky out of his blanket fort, he owes us his side of the story as well, and I’ll see if I can convince him to talk to Bloom for you.”

“If you manage that I’ll be impressed, he’s almost as stubborn as you are,” she said with a cheeky smile, before turning it into a real one. “But thanks, Riven. I’m happy we did this.”

“I’m happy about it too, Cami. I’m still with my bike, you want a ride back to Alfea?” “I would appreciate that, cuz I kiiiiiiiiiinda wasted the Sceptre’s reserves on getting to the city.” It was Riven’s turn to smirk. “And you call me impulsive?”

“Oh shut up.” Her tone was angry, but she was smiling, and she felt like things were finally looking better for her.

Twilight Thoughts (BEASTARS Episode 5)

WARNING: SPOILERS IMMINENT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO’RE DECIDING TO WAIT FOR NETFLIX TO RELEASE THE SHOW FROM PRISON. But hey, if you don’t mind, then let’s get this show on the road!

Episode 5: GoodboigoodboigoODBOIGOODBOI-

Finally we get some lighthearted fluffy stuff after what had happened the past episode or two. ESPECIALLY last episode. goodness, if episode 4 was the craziest episode, episode 5 has to be, like, the cutest. although there was some crazy shiz going on while Legoshi wasn’t around.

- First off,

Jack.

I luv him. bless this wholesome labrador retriever.

It may have been, like, 4 episodes in, but i’m happy he finally has more to say cuz i really wanted to see more of him considering he’s Legoshi’s best bud and i was sad he didn’t get much screen time aside from the hot minute he was in in the second episode. you get to see the dynamic between them and i can tell right off the bat just how close they are. i mean, he cared enough to bring him lunch in the empty pool while he hides from his classmates and knew right away that what he did on stage during the previous episode wasn’t acting at all.

Also when he was following Legoshi as he speedwalks his depressed butt to class, he was onto him that he did what he did out of love and tried to guess who he liked out loud. like, really loudly. like, the kids they passed by in the halls were staring. and i was dying but also thinking “Good lord, if we went to the same school, my friend Gao would TOTALLY do this to me. lmao”

- C....can we talk about what happened during that in the meantime?

I saw Haru and was like “Ok, looks like she’s gonna do it with another gu-”

*Sees a familiar hand reach out to her*

“....No.......n O .”

*Hears the start of Persona 3′s Mass Destruction blaring in the distance*

LOUIS NO PUT THAT TIE BACK ON WHAT IS HAPPENING WHA-

Like seriously, i did NOT see that coming. i mean i could’ve put two and two together considering Haru’s supposedly slept with a ton of different guys and Louis is popular so i can see them already knowing each other. but when i saw that i wasn’t thinking about that. why? cUZ IT WAS FRIKKIN’ OUTTA THE BLUE, THAT’S WHY.

I can already tell there’s gonna be....maybe not necessarily a love triangle, but Legoshi’s gonna find out sooner or later and i can imagine there’s gonna be something coming out of this.

Speaking of which,

The second half of the episode is basically snippets of things followed by Legoshi and Haru’s uhh....pseudo first date. like, it’s not a date, but it feels like one tbh. we’ll get to that in a bit.

- About those snippets, there’s apparently some weird annual fur cutting day. probably cuz all the animals with fur are....well, furry. i find it funny the guys in Legoshi’s dorm decided to do it outside rather than in their room cuz y’know....they gotta do it in their underwear. ^ ^’

- Ok, i know there’s a TON of cute, upbeat things in this episode, but as i’ve quickly learned the past few episodes, it’s not BEASTARS without angst. Legoshi, after the events of the play, gained a sorta.....negative reputation of sorts. like, the school newspaper of course twisted it to hell and back, but that didn’t change the fact that him snapping on stage was kinda terrifying. and although Louis played it off to the press like it was intentional, deep down Legoshi knows what he did was stupid. and he beats himself up for it for the majority of the episode. heck, one of the stage crew even blurts out that one of their members is essentially making things kinda awkward now. news flash dude, even if you don’t state their name, he’s not THAT stupid. he can tell you’re talking about him. and ngl that was kinda rude.

After all this, i feel bad for him despite knowing he did something stupid. which is exactly my point. he’s an introvert. and coming from experience, when we introverts do something stupid, we feel like absolute garbo and wanna crawl back into our corner. the one time he tries to stand up for himself and take action, he screws up horribly. and while this is a stepping stone to break out of his shell....it hurts. and i can totally understand that all too well. *remembers that time i blurted something self deprecating out on stage at EMCon’s cosplay contest years ago*

But hey, at least Jack is still supportive of him despite where things went. he’s a good friend.

- Bunny bish and her sunshine gang from the first episode is back and i still hate her. but....i kinda wanna know how her relationship with Haru got so bad to begin with. there’s gotta be something more there than just petty love stuff, right? like, every character i’ve seen in this show was sort of a usual trope, but when it progressed, i realized they’re not the complete trope, just bits of various tropes put together and it makes each character unique (for example, Legoshi is the big softie but with parts of the shy nerd and/or wallflower mixed in). THIS bish is the most stereotypical thing in this show so far. and honestly, i am not convinced that’s all there is to her.

- Ok, now onto the “first date.”

....IT WAS ADORABLE.

Like, it’s super awkward cuz neither of them could really get past their thoughts, but it was super believable and cute and i don’t normally say this much when watching anime bUT I SHIP IT LIKE FEDEX.

To elaborate, Haru can’t get past her innate herbivore instincts telling her to run from him, while poor Legoshi is so nervous that he can’t even ask her for her name! you would think after that last episode, he’d become a bit more outgoing. but nope! still the same dorky teenage wolf as ever. guess change can’t happen THAT fast, amirite? XD

At some point, i think they start thinking it just can’t work out between them. at least, it sounded like Haru was friendzoning him right from the start.

but eventually as they return to their dorms, he bends down to help her and their eyes meet and i was like “k I S S K I S S F A L L I N L U V--no seriously, kiss.” even though i knew very well that it’s far too soon for that. lmao then they finally exchange names and he says to himself “If it means i get to see your eyes again, i’ll get my tail dirty any day.” and i was like OW MY HEART. <3

This episode was a much needed breather after the Play Arc ngl. i hope to see y’all again after Episode 6! ^ ^

About the Character: Soren

I was tagged by @sakurabunnie Thank you <3 <3 <3

Tagging: @hadiden-lavellan, @tessa1972 @quizzikemen @igornerd (for Conrad ofc) and everyone else who sees this and would like to do it!! (๑・ω-)～♥

― your muse’s name: Soren

–– a favorite picture/faceclaim for your muse: this so far, i think (forgot the scar on his forehead tho XD)

― two headcanons you have for your muse:

He has a daughter he doesnt know about. Became a father as a teenager. Should i elaborate? I think i did once already... oh well... bear with me some description is needed. It strikes Soren hard when he first sees her, for she looks a lot like Soren’s late mother, all in all. But at very first glance the hair color hits him, as no matter how wide and far he traveled he had never seen the exact shade of hair he and Caren has, their mother had. Other redheads lean more towards the color of flames, but theirs is like blood, from the black of the blood from the liver to the intense red of the blood from an artery. It may be just his enhanced eyes, but he can distinguish the shade clearly for being the exact copy. Volume and thickness a match too, only that its curly like the girl’s mother’s. Her eyes are the same shape and proportion as Soren’s (and Caren’s ofc) too, but blue like Soren’s late mother’s eyes and also, her own mother’s. Being a bit less than half and elf left her with round ears though, not that it’s visible from those unruly wine waves. Her other features are more or less a mix of her grandmother’s and mother’s, all this resulting in her looking shockingly similar to Soren’s late mom. ...and similar enough to Soren both in looks and nature etc that it is the classic case of “he couldn’t even deny” she was his. XD She has strong magic though, carried on from Sorens side, even if he himself lacks the connection to his great heartache. When they meet Soren is introduced to her without the slightest of hesitation as her “other father”, and she takes it on stride, being excited for finally meeting her Papa (calls her other one dad, but decided papa fits Soren better. She’s right XD), while Soren is trying to wrap his mind and bursting heart around it all. Yes she was told about him, by her hippie like easy hearted no drama parents. Told great hero stories too lol. She just grows up with it being natural that she has another father too who travels the world doing great deeds, unknowing of her yet, before she grows up enough to grasp how is that so (which is fairy early, smartass Soren offspring).

You see, he was a beloved guest in the young married couple’s household -and bed- for a while. A happy peaceful downtime in Soren’s life before his blood inevitably stirred him further into the world, into adventures from the small cozy village, to the sadness of the young couple. He was the 3rd they ever had, tried for children wit the two others, hence they were certain the woman couldn’t have children, told that to Soren too, and to the wind with carefulness XD, but turns out the guy couldn’t have, they simply didnt have the proper luck and timing trying with their former guests.) They were contemplating “keeping” Soren for good, but they let him go without any hard feelings of course, even if saddened, understanding. Soren was conflicted too, but this was not the kind of Love to turn his world around them, from neither side, so his young adventurer blood won the tug war on his heart.

― three things that your muse likes doing in their free time:

Tinkering/experimenting with magical artifacts, researching magic stuff

Hunting big stuff, like high dragons and wyverns, exploring ruins, collecting magic “junk”, scouting... in one word adventuring, i guess.

Dipping his fox nose into other peoples business, often working as a fairy godfather. (mix of those working ways intended :P )

― seven people your muse loves/likes:

his SO

Caren

Dorian Pavus

The Iron Bull

Varric Tethras

Dagna

Lace Harding

― a phobia your muse has:

Abandonment. (i probably could also mention his dread of getting tortured, for he is certain he would go mad cuz of his heightened senses, and loosing himself is a big fear of his, right next to abandonment)

2020

overall this year was bad. bad, just like any other, how its always been, so nothing special. im writing this because my memory is getting worse and worse, and im sick of not remembering

corona lowkey annoying cuz i couldnt visit my friends on new years eve, but other than that everythings the same. on a positive note i didnt have to work as much either, and on a negative note i didnt get as much money. but thats alright.

((rude, unempathetic rant incoming. i know what im about to say is stupid but its my feelings and i want to talk about it regardless. if anyones reading, skip this)) what HAS been bothering me the most about corona is all the „2020 bad“ memes and people legitimately complaining about it. cuz like... nothing has changed. every year is horrible. it always has been. every year innocent people die, and nobody can do anything about it. of course i feel horrible for the people who lost their income/housing or family members because of it, and they have all the rights to complain... but lets be honest. none of the people i talk to were affected in any way by it. and the majority of people i hear talking about it havent lost their family/friends or homes to it either. its just a mild inconvenience to them, not being able to party without being arrested or seeing their friends or some shit. boo hoo, im alone all the time and never see any of my friends either and at this point im completely love & touch starvated regardless of corona. get over it

so... corona things out of the way, ive started thinking about my mental illnesses & trauma... A LOT. ive never thought about it all that much, because critical thinking is not something im able to do, usually. ive been reading lots of comix of people talking about/depicting mental illness, so i guess that kind of inspired and changed something in me, if i like it or not.

well, it turns out there is a shitton to unpack. i mean, ive always known there is so much wrong with me... but i was never really aware, if that makes sense. im still in the dark about most things, but its all coming together, little by little. i dont want to put my finger on anything, because im dumb, but at this point im 100% sure autism/aspergers isnt the only thing i got. far from it, in fact.

ive also learned that a lot of things in my life have left me with genuine, significant trauma, which ive never really realized before. i just thought the way i react to some things is cuz im, yknow... a whiny bitch. to name a few things:

me getting defensive/snappy when people of „authority“ (family, caretakers, doctors) ask me if im tired, how late i went to bed etc bc it is indirectly tied to why i was forced into psychiatry & the abuse i had to suffer there

fight or flight response activating when people talk about being in support of outdoor cats (i dont even want to fucking elaborate. tl;dr: my cat was almost killed by outdoor cat people and would be dead now if i hadnt gotten my shit together and worked hard on getting my own apartment, where he is safe. ive recieved no support & only been demonized during this time). this is a genuine fucking trigger

my rocky relationship with my mother and my thoughts about her, who is a genuinely good person, but managed to fuck me over, rip my entire ass apart and ruin my life regardless. also her lowkey restrictive/controlling upbringing stunting me for life

my huge, life-impairing abandonment issues. i dont even know where they come from, all i ever experienced were regular breakups & rejections with no hard feelings that just hit me especially hard for no reason i guess

how i cannot bear to be alone in a discord voice channel waiting for people to join & my stunted ability to talk to people when im alone with them (i got actively excluded by my best friends for being suicidal & a downer, they created a discord voice channel i couldnt see & didnt have access to for them to be without me, all while i was waiting all day long alone in our regular channel for someone to join me, in the same server)

relatedly, my inability to talk about my problems & mental illnesses with them. is also related to the cat incident

also my inability to show affection ever since my best friend stopped telling me „i love ya“

nothing else i can think of rn

i also realized that something is fundamentally, objectively wrong with me. i cant really talk about it... but the actions of one of my friends made it clear to me. it was proof that, somehow, im imbued with the horrifying essence of some eldritch lovecraftian horror being, repulsing everyone without them even realizing, unable of being loved. and its just... this knowledge, its too heavy to bear, for a single human being. i dont know what to do. i will have to live with this for the rest of my life - and i cant do anything about it.

ive also reconnected with an old friend over animal crossing, who introduced me to some other old friends (they were more like aquaintances back then, really), and in one of them ive found a friend for life, pretty much. but theyre all great, really.... i seriously appreciate that. they took my mind off my other best friend, whos been kind of ignoring my needs, resulting in me having panic attacks every day.

also, im making more of an effort to talk to & reply to the people i care about, cuz i have this friend who would chat me up every now and then, without me ever messaging him, just for me to ignore him for a couple hours cuz im too tired/busy/whatever... so at one point i was like „wait, what am i doing? hes one of the few friends who actually makes an effort, and i really care about this bitch!!“, so i went ahead and got my shit together, as best as i can at least (depressions still a bitch but im trying)

one last thing i wanna talk about... my view on life. this is gonna be huge, i think. big trigger warning for suicide stuff & other negative shit

im suicidal. always have been. thats not a secret, everyone who knows how to read between the lines (i cant, but most people do) can see that. sometimes you dont even have to, cuz im telling you outright. i usually dont talk about this openly though, not to my friends at least, cuz people only put up with suicidals for so long, and i cant afford to lose anyone else... ahem. anyways, something changed in the way i see suicide. when i was younger, i wanted to die because the pain i had to bear was just too great. there was no hope. and its still true - the pain is unbearable. i am in pain every waking moment. i have been for almost 11 years now. there is no joy, there is no happiness, there is only distraction.

however, thats not the reason i wanna die anymore. i think think that if i put in effort, i think i could be... not in pain, all the time anymore. but, heres the thing: i dont want to. im too tired, im too broken. i dont want to change, and i dont want anyone else to change. now i just want to die, for the sake of it. because i love death, with all of my heart. i think death is the best thing that could happen, to anyone. i 100% believe death is the only thing that will save you, ever. i am not exaggerating when i say „i love death“. and to live, without having the means to safely & efficiently kill myself... its destroying me. i get panic attacks every week thinking about it. what if someone else leaves me? im not gonna take it anymore, i refuse to. i refuse to keep suffering, but to end my suffering once and for all i have to die. i really, truly hate living... it just really isnt for me. and thats okay, im fine with it, im fine with dying - its what i want, its my choice, its my destiny - and i love this destiny. i wouldnt want it any other way - to kill myself, or be killed, thats how i want to go. i just need someone to help me. idk where im going with this, so lets move onto my next point:

my worldview. so.. im not sure when this all started. was it 2020? or 2019? maybe it started to dawn on me even earlier, i dont really know, but its been really intense in 2020. the way i view the world & life has changed drastically (or rather, formed, ive never really thought about it that much before). my mom has made it clear to me that you could be a genuinely good, loving person... and still fuck up your kid for life. and this is why i came to the conclusion that good parents, who dont fuck up their children irreversibly... they dont exist. the moment youre born into this world, youre doomed. there is no one who doesnt suffer, there is no one who doesnt want to die - and if they tell you they dont, they either just dont know yet or are in denial. if there is ANY chance of someone growing up to suffer just like i do - it is not worth it. irresponsible, even - to bring a kid into this world. and, the way the world is, and continues to be, there will never be the chance for someone to never suffer like me. which is why i dont think children should be born into this world, ever. and it fucks with me - it fucks with me so bad.

...happy mew year, everynyan

Thoughts on the Last Jedi

OMGs so many spoilers!!!!! Also it gets a lil NSFW and super dweeby at the end…. (proceed at your own risk)

So I just got back from The Last Jedi and -

I have so many EMOTIONS!!!

Lemme at least attempt to go through this chronologically…

“The First Order reigns.” I got goosebumps from that opening sentence of the opening crawl. It was like, yup – pretty much the feeling in the real world rn too hahahaha *sobs*

That whole opening space battle scene – ahhhh!!!! I loved so much about it – I especially loved how quickly Rian Johnson (the writer/director) was able to establish Paige Tico’s character – make the audience care about her and then boom she’s gone and I knew she was a goner as soon as they introduced her at Celebration but still it hit me right in the feels – like damn the sacrifices the Resistance is forced to make

At long last we got back to Rey and Luke on Ahch-To and I love how he doesn’t even say anything – he just flips the lightsaber over his shoulder like “thanks, I hate this!”

And then Rey follows him around like an adorable lost puppy for days and days and days and I was like awwww!

Speaking of which – I really liked how Daisy Ridley played Rey this time around – not so naïve (although I loved happy go-lucky, plucky Rey from the Force Awakens) – but she’s grown now – she’s seen some shit – and so as a result her character is a little more galaxy-wise and wary – which I think fits – though we see some of that lighter Rey sprinkled throughout the narrative – the “reach out” moment which I thought was pretty damn hilarious…

As for the new characters – oh my – how I love Rose. She’s this fan girl who’s suddenly grieving and then one of her heroes shows up and she’s all ready to fangirl but then he severely disappoints her but she doesn’t even hesitate – she stuns him – like yeah, she’s excitable and incredibly sad but she’s still gonna do her damn job and I loved it. And we see her grow and mature throughout the film and learn to trust Finn again – and the end where she saves him and then she says “we can’t fight what we hate – we have to save what we love” and then she snogs him and I was like HELLLS YES! What a bad. Ass. Character.. I love her. #protec I already liked the sorts of things Kelly Marie Tran was saying from the press tour – but she brought this character to life and now I have EMOTIONS.

So yeah, I’m totally on the FinnRose ship now since Disney are cowards and Stormpilot is never gonna be a thing ☹ (though I did appreciate when Finn and Poe finally meet up again Finn literally squirts on Finn lmao (I’m sorry I have a dirty mind!) so I think that’s the closest we’re ever gonna get hahaha)

I loved how Canto Bight really illustrated this incredible gap between rich and poor – so similar in our own world right now – and Rose’s rage at this injustice – “I just wanna punch straight through this beautiful, ugly terrible town.” (First off – what a line. Second off that sounds like something Leslie Knope might say hahahaha) Rose was given some of the best and most poignant lines.

Also – the focus on the little children slaves – fuck, that was crushing. And the Fathiers – how their coats were bleeding from the whips and the lashes – damn all so heartbreaking. I’ll get back to the little slave boy at the end – as I think there’s so much going on in that final scene.

Back to the Force montage on Ahch-To with Luke & Rey – damn I love how Johnson elaborated on the Force – showing us what Rey was seeing – such beauty. Such resonance. Kinda reminded me of those BBC nature documentaries (The Planet, etc…) – the beauty and savagery of nature – personified in the Force – ughh so frikken powerful.

As for Luke – his scene with Artoo was the best. Artoo shows him young Leia pleading for Obi-Wan and Luke’s all like “you’re not playing fair” and Artoo basically gives him this shit eating grin and oh gods so good – this is why Artoo continues to be my fave. Character. He is the best. Doesn’t even have to say anything. Like yes! Damn! Ughhh!

Then Luke’s scene with Yoda’s force ghost!!! As soon as you saw that little profile and the ears I was internally going like !@@!#$%&^%!@#$%%@$ and then he just blows up the tree like HaShem in Exodus and you’re like lmao – and he literally tells Luke “Rey has all the knowledge from the Jedi Texts with her already” – then if you fast forward all the way to the very end of the movie when everyone is on the Falcon – Finn is rummaging through a bunch of drawers and if you blinked you missed them – but the texts were in there! Rey up and stole them hahaha – amazing! And Yoda knew too! Ugghhhhhhh I love these characters!

Alright. Now on to the really big stuff.

Holy crap. Snoke is dead. HAHAHAHA! Ren turned out to be the BIG BAD of this trilogy. I guess I shoulda seen that coming, but tbh I was absolutely gut-wrenched. I thought he and Rey would join forces and become gray force users and have babies and it would be beautiful, but it was not to be. When they were fighting Snoke’s red guards I thought that would happen but then Ren is so full of hate and greed he can’t see anything else – he’s dead inside. He can’t see a path to redemption. He doesn’t even ask for forgiveness.

Yes, I know – for the last several months I have been a Reylo. I really wanted them to get together. And when they were force-touching hands I really thought they would – but then this asshole goes and

Decides to tell Rey she’s nothing???? Like what? No. No, no, no. You don’t tell someone they’re trash but they mean everything to you. Like I sorta get what he’s trying to say but he’s being super manipulative. Is that what gaslighting is?

Like fine you murdered Han Solo. You blew up Akbar. AKBAR! But you will not insult Rey. No. That is crossing a line. Maybe he wasn’t even consciously doing it – maybe he thought he was praising her – but really he was just trying to convince her she’s nothing without him. He allowed his rage to rule him.

I’m sorry people who still might see them together – but I no longer do. Rey doesn’t need Kylo’s bullshit. She gave him a chance at redemption and he denied her. She realized she can’t save him – and I think that’s an incredibly valuable lesson to teach young girls.

I’m sorry if that offends some people on the Tumblrs – and you’re totally entitled to your opinion – I’m not gonna be a dick about it (it’s not my way) – but respect that I’ve changed my mind.

As a side note – I think it’s kind of hilarious how whoever the hell Snoke was and who Rey’s parents were don’t even matter! All those theories! All the mental anguish we put into discovering how everything connects to older characters! But it doesn’t. Ha! We deserve it!

Luke made a mistake trying to take out Kylo, no doubt, but Kylo has to be responsible for his own actions. I think that’s what Johnson was trying to say – sure he might have been neglected, abused, and then manipulated by Snoke – but ultimately he had the power to choose – and like so many young men in this day and age – Ben has chosen hate. Rey has chosen hope.

And I choose Rey’s path.

The darkness might reign right now. But the light is strong. And it can burn in us all, if only we allow it to ignite within us.

Sure, the Jedi have a legacy of failure. But as Yoda said, “Failure is the best teacher.” Don’t I know it. Failure is painful. Failure sucks. But that doesn’t mean we burn it all down. We can rebuild. We can grow. We can make new the old.

The Jedi can live again.

And that gives me great hope, kids.

Great Hope.

And now, Luke and Leia.

I….

I can’t even…

This woulda been emotional enough with Carrie Fisher still with us – but now that she’s gone…

“Nobody’s really gone.” – Luke. That last conversation – just the two of them – Oh man, I’m not a crier but sometimes I wish I was. So powerful. So important. So cathartic. Funny. Sad. Bittersweet reconciliation. Imperfect people, imperfect goodbye – but a perfect scene.

I feel like we all needed that. Or I did anyway.

And then….Luke dies.

Luke dies?

Luke Skywalker. Is gone.

What? No! How?

Feels like I’ve known him my whole life – cuz I have. Like he’s a real person and the myth he became all at once. Who was one of the ones who taught us the power of forgiveness. To let go of hate.

And now he’s gone?

I know, I know, I sound ridiculous – he’s not a real person and it’s just a movie and you’re probably all rolling your eyes and saying “bundles you’re being such a dweeb rn” but damn it! stories matter. Characters matter. Words matter. Words have power.

Star Wars is a great myth of our time. The saga of the Skywalkers is our Arthuriana. From Anakin to Rey – this is our Trojan War. Luke is our Achilles.

And now he’s gone? When he disappeared watching those two setting suns (gods what great cinematography) it was like a gut punch. Like fuuuuuuuuuuuuck what now?

How do we go on?

I think Johnson gives us an answer – look to the past – look to the future – to the balance – to the cycle –

Which brings me to that final poignant scene -

The slave boy on Canto Bight. As with Anakin Skywalker all those years ago – he’s a force user (pulling that broom to his hand ala Mickey Mouse in Fantasia) and he’s staring up at the stars and dreaming….he embodies, with his phoenix-inspired Rebel insignia ring – the rebirth of hope – of the rebellion – of the resistance – of the beautiful broken dream that were the Jedi – he is Johnson. He is all of us. From Anakin all the way to this slave boy. And the story repeats. The cycle continues.

The myth lives on. Hope lives on. And if the myth lives on, well then so does Luke – “nobody’s really gone…”

I love Star Wars.

I love stories.

Space Christmas™

look we know its july we just have a lot of feelings ok

ok so everyone’s always talking about how much Lance misses his big family and whatnot, but how would that carry across to a holiday like Christmas?

like, forget about missing just his siblings and parents what about the massive extended family? also (we’re not trying to shove beliefs onto a character or upset anyone in general please don’t yell at me) A LOT of people are religious and quite a few more practice exclusively on holidays like Christmas or Easter.

plus, even if Lance wasn’t strictly religious there’s something about being raised in a family that is that ingrains bits and pieces of those things into you just as a byproduct of being raised that way.

either way you can’t tell me that Lance’s family didn’t celebrate Christmas and since he has younger siblings it would still be a big deal since they would still believe in Santa.

so it gets to the point that Lance is spending the nighttimes heartbroken thinking about the presents he had planned for his little siblings that he won’t be able to give them this year because he’s an amazing sibling like that, or wishing for just one day, THIS day, that he could be back with his family, because anyone who has gone from spending Christmas with a big family to spending it almost alone know that it’s one of the loneliest feelings on the world.

Pidge’s family is kind of a mixed situation

like her dad’s jewish so they just decided as a family to celebrate both Christmas and Hannukah

the holidays weren’t really at the front of Pidge’s mind when the ‘winter months’ rolled around

because FIRST OF ALL it looked NOTHING like winter normally did (bc space),

and anyway for the past couple years she and her mother had grown apart and holidays were hardly the first thing anyone would think of when a family falls apart like that,

but she’s the one that notices Lance disappearing more and stumbles upon him crying twice as many times as she normally would, so she figures something’s up.

it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that they have reached what would be on Earth the month of December and to link that a little further to Christmas.

now Pidge understands a lot, but humans have never been her strongest suit so she does what any reasonable person would do and goes to Hunk and lets him take the wheel on what to do. Pidge does what she can to help (she’s probs the one that makes the cool decorations)

she misses her small, intimate family Christmases and it was trying to get that family back that brought her here in the first place, but along the way the team has kinda become her family too so why not embrace that for a little while?

Pidge makes a metal tree and everyone helps to decorate it

Lance goes nuts

people’s thing’s just start going missing and they end up on the tree

everyone knows it's Lance and it’s mildly inconvenient but they can’t bring themselves to say anything bc he just looks so happy

they start voluntarily putting their things on the tree

Keith puts fingerless gloves on it. Lance almost cries laughing

Shiro puts his fucking arm at the top of the tree bc he thinks he’s funny

“Shiro, no you need that what the hell”

“I just wanted to lend a hand, Keith”

Pidge teaches them all about Hanukkah too, and the Alteans love the dreidel

Coran is really hung up on the menorah thing

“But if there was only enough for 1 day, how did it last 8?”

“I don’t know, that’s why they call it a miracle”

“Fascinating”

Keith doesn’t really get this Christmas thing.

like obviously he knows what Christmas is, he’s from Texas of course he does, but he’s not quite sure how to celebrate this.

after Pidge tells Hunk about Lance’s odd behavior Hunk arranges a paladin (and confused Altean) meeting where everyone decides to try this “Christmas in Space” thing out, but Keith is kinda left stranded on what to do.

he wants to help, in the way that you can’t help when you’re maybe, hopelessly in love with someone and would do anything to make them happier, it’s just, holidays were never a part of his childhood and what if he does it wrong?

one thing Keith’s sure is part of this is gift-giving so one day during a battle he picks up a Galra shooter and tosses it to an unarmed Lance with an offhanded “Merry Christmas.”

AND LANCE JUST LIKE FREEZES FOR A SECOND AND THEN JUST GIVES KEITH THE BIGGEST SMILE AND KEITH IS LIKE BLINDED

so he just keeps giving Lance things?

like he sees a cool rock while on a mission and just puts it in his pocket

a couple of days later he stumbles upon a gorgeous blue gem-type thing on some planet and does the same thing bc it reminds him of Lance’s eyes.

and he’ll just like slide the gift over to Lance in the middle of meals or just leave it in front of his door

and Lance always just grins like an idiot bc Keith is being nice to him and he just feels lighter

soon all of the paladins start incorporating casual Christmas gift-giving into their daily lives and as Lance’s mood starts to brighten more day by day Keith can’t help but be a lil proud that he could be the start of someone’s happiness

and everyone starts giving each other gifts and Keith is just really proud bc he started this and he just loves these guys so much and is this what a family is like bc he gets it now

one day Keith’s in Lance’s room (who knows why lmao) and he just sees all of the stuff he’s given Lance placed a little bit away from the other’s gifts and he just smiles a lil to himself

(sorry we’re klance trash)

Hunk’s a good best friend.

he’s also a bit of a people-watcher so when Pidge comes to him with her research* (*stalking) on Lance and the current month on Earth his own thoughts on the matter are confirmed and he jumps straight to planning Space Christmas™.

a secret meeting is arranged promptly to inform the other paladins/alteans of what’s going on (a long explanation of earth customs is required)

then he and coran get ingredients for the Altean equivalent of cookies and just go to work

Pidge and Lance bend cookie cutters out of scrap metal and use those and Keith just cuts out shapes with his knife bc of course he would

cuz if they’re doing Christmas, then they’re doing it right. Hunk’s typical holidays involve so much food, especially as gifts

large family dinners become a mandatory thing, every time getting more elaborate and delicious.

Hunk always makes people share about their day because it’s what his family always did

“So Pidge, how was your day?”

“Hunk, I was with you all day, we had the same day.”

“But how was it?”

when Christmas would roll around Hunk’s younger siblings presented him with small and, to the outsider's eye, meaningless gifts so when he starts getting handed shiny rocks, or little people made of twigs, or one time a small robot that did nothing but blast screamo he can’t help but be reminded of his family too

Shiro had quite honestly forgotten that holidays were such a big deal.

in his defense a lot had happened and they just had slipped his mind.

he’s not opposed to the idea when Hunk brings it up, but a week later he’s fully invested in the holidays and has crocheted several sweaters, because he looks fantastic in red, ok.

growing up with a single parent and a much younger sibling has hardwired into his brain the need to make every holiday as big of a deal as possible and he starts spending late nights decorating various parts of the castle to make this the most magical experience possible because now he had 4 little sibling to share this with and also he needs to and it gives him peace of mind when his nightmares are too intense to sleep through.

every opportunity he gets he spends squirrelling away presents for the 25th or furiously crocheting sweaters for everyone else because what’s Christmas without the ugliest sweaters you’ve ever seen?

ok quick side note but we promise this is relevant: so we all know about the headcanon that Lance knits but consider this: Shiro crochets

and Lance like will not stop giving him shit about ‘wow only one needle? I have two so…’

and Shiro’s a good sport so he just kind of plays along bc wow Lance has started another dumb rivalry who would have guessed

but then Shiro crochets him this blue hat with lion ears on it and Lance can’t really bring himself to keep the the ‘rivalry’ going

(he wears the hat everywhere)

Shiro and Lance team up to make the team stockings and Shiro even makes tiny ones for the mice

the Alteans don’t know what’s going on

like obviously they notice that there’s something off about the paladins, so when Hunk calls his meeting about Lance, they’re kind of like ???? bc they noticed these things with everyone but if they want to pretend that it’s just about Lance then okay

learning about Christmas is….. interesting to say the least

“So you’re telling me that the people of earth tell their children about a reverse thief dressed in red that breaks into everyone’s home?”

“I mean I wouldn’t say it like that”

“Well then how WOULD you say it”

“He just visits everyone to give them gifts-”

“I’ll prepare the castle’s defenses for an intruder immediately!”

“No that’s really not necessary”

They get it eventually.

Allura’s really into the ‘Santa’s reindeer’ thing (something about them reminding her of an altean animal) so she works with pidge to make little reindeer antlers for the mice and also ENORMOUS ONES for the lions

((Keith is FURIOUS (and a little confused) when he sees the large red ball attached to red’s nose but Lance is just laughing and smiling so he guesses it's okay))

@ dreamworks just give us the space fam doing space things for the holidays. just a christmas episode that’s all we’re asking for

Also we hope y’all love long posts cuz this bitch took forever and we’re very proud and feel free to add your own and make it EVEN LONGER
