woozi boyfriend headcanons <3
a/n: posting jihoon's boyfriend headcanons next as requested!! i am SO endeared by him <333 i'd trust him with my life tbh and i just know i'd feel safe if i had him around like he's a top-tier protector while also being a silly billy :,-) pics not mine !
content: fluff | wc: 1.3k | warnings: none! | pairing: boyfriend!jihoon x gn!reader | requests: open
Tumblr media Tumblr media
after writing this, i want nothing more than to see jihoon smile and give me an endearing head pat :,-( please enjoy <333
our music boy!!! hard-working king!!!! talented icon!!!!
he's so cool in every way except for when it comes to you
he just melts at the sight of you
like he's cool on the outside but anyone who knows him knows that he's losing it over how much he loves you
tbh even people who don't know him all that well can see very recognizable heart eyes
he just looks at you with so much adoration and fondness and it SHOWS <333
sometimes when you're speaking to him, especially about things you're passionate about, there will be pauses before he responds
it's not because he isn't listening. it's the complete opposite !!
he's so immersed in your thoughts, your voice, your movements, your words, that he has to find his way back to earth before he can speak
and honestly, if it weren't for the fact that it proves to you he is listening and encourages you to continue speaking, he'd stay completely silent during times like these
he's in awe of you and he wants to stay that way forever
jihoon gets flustered by you constantly
the butterflies he felt when he first saw you never go away
they actually get stronger over time because the more he realizes he loves you the more those butterflies of elation swarm inside him
this is one of the many inspirations he finds in you for music
he actually writes lots of songs about you but he is so nervous to tell you about it each time so he doesn't tell you beforehand he just plays the song for you when he thinks it's ready
while he doesn't directly say it's about you, you know it is about you because he slipped a phrase you two always say to each other in there or he references a favorite song/idea/sound/item of yours in the verse
in response, you give him a lil squeeze on his hand or a kiss on the cheek or a smile that shows him with certainty you love and cherish how he incorporated you into his work again
it all goes unsaid, be he can feel through these exchanges that you feel the depth of his love
his heart is FULL!!!!
he is blushing, but he fights with all his might to act like he isn't blushing
jihoon actually blushes any time you compliment him because he is so soft for you :,-)
he will also completely short circuit if he hears you singing or humming a song he made
it catches him off-guard and he's standing there like :-0
he's so precious <33333
jihoon's also the silliest boy with you
he laughs SO hard whenever you make a joke
like i'm talking open mouth, loud, PUAHAHAH energy
he cannot contain it he thinks you're so funny and delightful
loves teasing you so much. he knows it'll get a laugh out of you, which is one of his favorite sounds in the universe, and he just loves being playful with you even if it means roasting you
jihoon will also do slapstick, dad jokes, or other ridiculous humor antics to make you laugh
he's actually so funny like !!! you're never going to feel bored again you've got a true entertainer with you 25/8
the entertainment carries over to when he tells stories about you
they're so animated and his descriptions of you are so vivid that seventeen actually feel as though they know you before they meet you
a few members comment "wow, he got your voice exactly how it sounds!" and "he wasn't kidding. you do get that look in your eyes when you tell a joke!" and so on
i'm putting my money on soonyoung, seungkwan, and chan to expose him like this
you're shocked because ??? how often did he talk about you ???
when you turn to look at jihoon he's a blushing mess and waving his hand in the air and chuckling to act as though it isn't a big deal
when you turn away he is giving Death Glares to everyone else but they're just laughing because they've never seen him more enamored before and it's the perfect fuel for teasing him <3
his hugs engulf you
even the slightest of hugs leave you feeling completely wrapped up in his embrace. he holds you with so much care and attention that even a light brush of his hand on your shoulder makes you feel so wonderfully warm
when he's sleepy he is definitely nuzzling his head into your shoulder/neck/etc like he wants the world to disappear and you are his escape !!! his comfort !!! i'm sobbing now
he's often softly tapping your shoulder to get your attention without disrupting whatever you're watching/reading/etc because he wants your attention but would never take it without you being willing to give it
stop why is he so cute and gentle :-(
whenever you two are sitting, lying, or standing near each other, he'll mindlessly drum his fingers against you like he's playing the piano
woozi will always sing you to sleep if you ask
like yes he'll resist at first because he's a lil shy but he's not going to say "no" when he knows how much it'll comfort you
he thinks there are few things better than the sound of your contented sighs as you drift into sleep and the look on your face when you finally fall into a deep slumber
while he sings to you, he will play with your hair, give you sweet little pets, and soothingly rub your arms/back <3
he will never let you down
whether it's picking up every item on your grocery list
or being by your side during a hard time
he. is. there.
nothing would break his heart more than you feeling alone or unsupported
you always make him feel grounded, and he constantly works to reciprocate that for you
he is genuinely such a solid partner. he's your rock in the truest sense of the word, and the trust between you two is otherworldly
while there are always butterflies and new experiences shared between you, there has, from day one, been a sense of sureness there too
your relationship feels so real and so right
woozi's love is strong. through the ups and downs, his love for you never wavers, and he never lets you doubt his sincerity towards you
tbh i think he really desires security with you
one of the first times he's very vulnerable with you, probably late at night while in the studio because there's a specific intimacy you find together in that space, he admits to you that he really wants someone you to feel sure of him
you were sure of him before then, but, in that moment when he completely opened up, you knew, more than anything, you were sure of him
and all it took was the grasp of your hand, the look in your eyes, and the words i'm sure of you, jihoon for him to know that you felt everything toward him that he felt about you
from then on, so much of your relationship goes unsaid
because you two feel it and know it so deeply that it doesn't need to be expressed
however, jihoon never misses an opportunity to express his love and appreciation for you
he's very much the type to be lovey dovey when he's feeling soft
like this boy could give you a toothache with his sweetness
and he's smiling that angelic smile the whole time i'm biting my fist pLEASE
if you ask him to do aegyo, he'll do it in a heartbeat
you show this off in front of seventeen and they're DYING and they expect woozi to say something but he's not fazed like obviously he's doing aegyo ?? what else is he supposed to do when the love of his life asks him to act cute ??
the answer is do aegyo, obviously.
jihoon is simply the most romantic and sincere partner you could ask for. he's dedicated to you, heart and soul, and he proves that every day by being there for you
sorry i have to go and read some poetry because loving and being loved by jihoon would simply be the most beautiful thing in the world
i hope everyone gets the jihoon they deserve <3

some more Cherry Magic thoughts/brainstorming/spring cleaning (2023-03-16)
previous Cherry Magic spring cleaning post, not required reading
As the title implies, this is just me doing some digital spring cleaning of my files. I should also clarify that I haven't watched the movie yet so, most of these thoughts are based on the series, the bonus Valentine's and Rokkaku eps, and sooome of the manga...
Here we go:
1) Adachi can see the future independently of his virginity induced telepathy—aka, he’s always been a magician but the whole “reading people’s minds” is a sudden and new ability that he doesn’t like and can’t control.
Again, based on the very first bit of episode 1 where the 29yrs 364days Adachi is in a crowd and turns to watch his future Christmas Eve self biking past. And maybe as a way to fill in some plot holes, like how did Adachi know where Kurosawa would be for the confession? And also, how did he know that 7 years ago Kurosawa was going to black out from drinking and would need some help? (Although, the idea of Adachi just hovering worriedly just off screen of Kurosawa’s drunken stumbling is a funny idea)
Seeing what his future self does? That’s normal. He grew up with that. It’s fairly manageable and doesn’t really impact his life much so long as he doesn’t overtly react to a vision (possibly why he keeps his expressions blank when he knows there are people around even though he’s naturally very expressive.) He’s already an imaginative and quiet person, people probably used to think he was quite the daydreamer.
But god forbid he suddenly get literal intrusive thoughts from other people. Do not want. Cannot control.
Some independently and slightly related thoughts:
1a) I say this not having read all of the manga and not having watched the movie, but, given Adachi’s canonical only non work contact besides Tsuge is his mother who only texts, may I posit: She’s a witch. Like, out in the countryside with her coven of witches. And Adachi was raised by the coven but he never really showed much talent or drive for magic—besides his natural talent to see limited slices of his own future—and he wanted to go to college and live in the city. But obviously they love him even if they don’t quite understand him.
All I’m saying is, eventually, when Kurosawa meets his in-laws its out in some Ghibli-esque forest town with a dozen or so witches who all treat Adachi like a treasured nephew or little cousin.
… And only his mom has a mobile phone to text him happy birthday because she only uses it to contact Adachi anyway and, I dunno, maybe they contact him off screen in little magical ways that he doesn’t bring up because he does canonically forget these sorts of things (ie “I’ve never received Valentine’s chocolate from anyone before” even though last year Kurosawa literally gave him some, although, to be fair, Kurosawa did it in the most calculatedly nonchalant way.) All I’m saying is that maybe sometimes he gets little origami creatures that are messages and messengers both or one of his cousins can set up the astral projection equivalent of a zoom call or he has a little compact mirror that is linked with several other compact mirrors that his various aunts/cousins can also have or they have cat familiars that visit sometimes (which is why Adachi is best friends with a cat person)
((And maybe the younger ones also have Switches and they play Animal Crossing together because it is very similar to the idyllic magical life they lead and Adachi does get homesick))
1b) Much shorter but: Adachi, bewildered by the telepathy and the fact that Kurosawa has a crush on him, didn’t realize that “Kurosawa’s fantasies” (ie, the bits with the angelic chorus and soft lighting and Adachi looking cute and/or sexy) were actually visions of the future.
Also, why is Kurosawa icon pic a goat?
I know fanon is such that the Kurosawa parents are rich and elegant (and mean?) But maybe Kurosawa grandparents have a farm and on that farm there is a goat (EIEIO)
It’s just a picture his grandma sent him because let’s be real, Kurosawa would be the kind of boy who loves his grandmother very much and also maybe learned how to cook from her?
Okay, here's a proper idea number 2:
As a little omake to the first chapter of the manga, Toyota-sensei drew the goddess of love giving telepathy to Adachi as a birthday present on a whim/because he hadn't noticed how loved he was by Kurosawa.
Tumblr media
And I just want to say, what if the goddess of love is Adachi's mother?
Consider: there were only two texts for Adachi’s bday, one from Tsuge because they’re the kind of friends who prefer to have stable hangouts so they only meet up on the same day of the week regardless of holidays and don’t really talk to each other on the other days of the week, and the other from his mother because she’s very busy what with being the goddess of love and she can’t always manifest a physical form so she sends a text instead. And also a gift. Of telepathy. [[see pic]]
So kinda like a worse cupid, I guess… almost literally. Does tsuge also see… something? I just really love their friendship and the idea that they both already have powers and then get virginity induced telepathy on top of that is hilarious. Or maybe Adachi can see who are meant to be (like the red string of fate) but he’s so bad at getting people together.
God I just really love Adachi and Tsuge’s friendship so much. I don't have an idea particularly related to this either, I just wanted to reiterate it.

Check in Tag
 I was tagged by the wonderful @ktarsims, thank you 💜
Why did you choose your URL?
It’s really just my creator name, nothing fancy. I wanted people to be able to easily find me and recognize my url. If you are wondering why I chose Simlicious as a name, I thought it was kinda cool at the time and I wanted something with the word “Sim” in it. Nowadays I think I could have been a bit more original.
How long have you been on tumblr?
Since February 2012. I just realized I missed my 10-year tumblr anniversary. I am really bad with dates and anniversaries in general though, so this is no surprise 😅
Do you have a queue tag?
Nope, I seldomly queue stuff anyway.
Why did you start your blog in the first place?
I was active in German Sims forums at the time and wasn’t really happy with only being in a “local” community. I wanted to spread my wings and also reach a wider audience, since I like creating for the sims games and communicating in English. I immediately liked the kind, open-minded simblr community, so I stuck around!
Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
Because I was too lazy to do anything else? Idk. I never had anything else and at this point, I wouldn’t know what else to put there anyway. It is not my simself, but just one of my models, put through a few artsy filters. Since my icon is purple, I feel like purple has become  my “simblr brand color”. I have grown fond of the purple hearts 💜 and I feel like they are my thing now. Purple is not my favorite color though, that would be Turquoise.
Why did you choose your header?
I am not sure this is considered a header per se, but the background behind the my tumblr icon is the same background I chose for my website and my tumblr blog background (though I colored it differently there). It looks like fancy 3D paper cutouts and I still love it after all these years. Maybe one of the reasons I never update my tumblr theme (though it is overdue!).
What’s your post with the most notes?
That would be this post of my Ugg Boots with 1206 notes, which I initially made as a Secret Santa gift. This might be my most popular creation ever, and I’m still proud of how well it turned out! I am just not proud that I chose the busy and dark group pic as the first pic in that post. I really tried to set a scene there and everything, but I like the minimalist approach with a clean background much better.
How many mutuals do you have?
I counted 94, but I am pretty sure I miscounted due to going “OMG WHAT, THAT person is a mutual?” like 50 times. I have really cool mutuals.
How many followers do you have?
3564, as of now!
How many people do you follow?
244 (I think this is considered a low number, and I still cannot keep up with my dash at all)
Have you ever made a shitpost?
Not really, no. I wrote somewhat angry posts, most of which I did not actually post (they are more like a diary at this point), most had to do with some simblr drama and opinions. But in general, I try to write in a cool and composed manner, even when the subject matter is heated. I feel like much more can be achieved by being polite, exploring stuff from different angles and outlining the facts than by screaming ugly things at the world.
How often do you use tumblr every day?
I open tumblr at least once every day, it is a reflex at this point, but I do not always actually look at stuff or interact. That depends on my mood and my mindset. Sometimes I spend hours commenting, posting, liking, and on some days I barely do anything.
Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?
I don’t think so! I do not like stirring up trouble. I remember I was once very close to being the target of a shitstorm, because I accidentally made another sims creator look bad and their protective followers were writing angry messages to me. I immediately apologized to the creator and changed my post and that was it!
How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?
I am unaffected by it. These posts remind me of chainmail, and I do not engage in those, nor in “you are a bad person if you do not reblog this, I will unfollow you if you do not reblog this”. Not reblogging does not mean that I do not agree with the contents of the post or do not care about it, it just means I do not want to clutter my blog, since I am very specific with the stuff I reblog.
Do you like tag games?
Depends on my mood and the specific questions asked but yeah, they are generally fun! I just do not like tagging other people (I do not want anyone to feel pressured, despite not feeling pressured by being tagged myself), so I usually tag anyone who wants to do them.
Do you like ask memes?
I think I’ve never done one before, most of them have to do with stories and characters, which I do not really have as a pure CC creator.
Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
Several were or are widely known in the community, most of them moved on to ts4 now and I feel honored to still be on their list! I treasure my mutuals a lot, famous or not! I feel like by dropping names, some people always feel left out, so I’m not going to do that here.
Do you have a crush on a mutual?
If by crush you mean in awe of their talents, then I guess so 🤩 (again, not dropping names) I tag everyone who wants to answer these questions :)

1. why did you choose your URL?
everyone's been confused what it actually means so here we go XD. initially, i was damn confused on coming up with one cause i want it to be unique? me and @mignonnex were brainstorming about names 😭 and i was thinking of something about powerful women, so queen or empress + the name of my bias, Jungkook. i was gonna go with queenjeon (someone came up with it already) and empressjeon (too long) so in the end it’s just “ressjeon”, easy to say and kind of unique ig 😂
2. any sideblogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them?
yes, i do have one and its @yanniereads! i've been reading way before I started writing and I usually give long ass reviews so I wanted a separate blog where I can do all of those and just focus on writing on this one 💕
3. how long have you’ve been on tumblr?
As a reader, I’ve been here around late 2016 I think because of BTS fanfics XD. I don’t actually remember how I started on this app, i knew this app existed but i never bothered to venture into it until I started reading fanfics and it just happened? though I only started writing in 2019 and posting this year o.o
4. do you have a queue tag?
uh I just realized that I don’t have one but I recently just started queueing things so 🤡
5. why did you start your blog in the first place?
for my multi one, mainly to read, give feedback and interact with people in the fandom here and for this one is to write and gush only for BTS hehe. Also, I never expected myself to start writing since I was just contented as a reader but then a dream happened (my dreams are always vivid) + and a fmv haunting me for weeks so the moment i woke up, i grabbed my laptop and was writing for the whole day and the rest is history.
6. why did you choose your icon?
uh I saw this on Twitter and was shook at how well edited it is and it’s VERY S E X Y so why not? ;)
7. why did you choose your header?
I actually didn’t make this header rip, I legit just got this on Google but I'm gonna try to make my own to match my whole blog aesthetic? (do I even have one lmao)
8. what’s your post with the most notes?
I don’t get a lot of notes in general but I would say the masterpost of my current series posted here (there will be more series soon so wink wink)
9. how many mutuals do you have?
uh i actually need to write them down because Tumblr usually makes us unfollow each other 🤡 but its less than a hundred
10. how many followers do you have?
I have a decent one that I'm content with and I'm grateful for each one of them.
11. how many people do you follow?
uh less than 200 for sure 🤡
12. have you ever made a shitpost?
idk if I any of my post is considered as one but intentionally, I don’t think I did
13. how often do you use tumblr each day?
though I only alternate between posting pics & written posts, I'm actually active the whole day everyday but I just don’t post so ring me whenever 🤡
14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?
no, HAHAHAH cuz I fight somewhere else (I don’t hold back there) and im trying to avoid it on this platform because too much has happened here already ♡
15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
I mean I always reblog important stuff that clearly matters but other than that i just try to reblog as much as i can.
16. do you like tag games?
yes ofc though im always late T.T
17. do you like ask games?
yes again though i barely get asks :(
18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
i know people would always say that it doesn't exist or that it doesn't matter but there are actual people here who are deemed as "tumblr famous" by the community, i have a few mutuals who are and they deserved it ♡
19. do i have a crush on a mutual?
i am recently in a harem now after being married to @erotikkook so 🤡
Tagging: @yoonia @yminie @blue-sidez @zibermuda @sketchguk @kithtaehyung @xjoonchildx @nomseok @jungkxook @clouditae @wishesunderthestars @jungkooksbroski @chateautae @agustdakasuga @dulcetvk @sugasbabiie @hisunshiine @venusiangguk @btssavedmylifeblr @bangtantaegi @ppersonna @lemonjoonah @dreamescapeswriting @avveh

yep! it’s queue never walk alone! mannn was it hard to choose a lyric SJDFKL
why did you start your blog in the first place?
i started this blog as a side one for just km content, but i soon realized i didn’t want to have two bts related accounts and so i continued using this account as my main one. ah and in terms of tumblr in general, I kind of moved on from another social and wanted a fresh, new place to talk about my love for bts so here we are 😃
why did you choose your icon?
that selca. took me OUT. I’m actually torn between it and some muster pics tho 👀

did you have a fight/argument with a blog once? who won?
thankfully I have not :’)
how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this post’?
ooh this is kind of hard. i think most of the time they’re justified! i’ve been thinking about this for a loong time, and i don’t really know exactly what type of posts fall under this category either SDJFLKS so imma just leave it at that :’D
do you like tag games?
ah ofc!! they’re honestly so fun to complete even though i take ages to do them :’)
do you like ask games?
hm i’ve never done an ask game before and i’m not sure anyone would participate if i do jsdflk but yea they seem so fun! 👀

Starship Rewatch
10 years ago today (well, yesterday since I’m posting it a day later), 15 year old Hope curled up on her couch to watch a new StarKid show called Starship right as it dropped. This was the first time I got to watch a show when it was posted since I didn’t become a StarKid fan until a months earlier. I was so excited.
And now, I’m rewatching Starship for the first time in full in at least 5 years I think. I listened to the soundtrack twice earlier today, singing along at my desk at work (thank god no one else was here tonight to judge me). I still know so many of the lyrics. And so many little jokes and stuff were flooding back. Starship was my favorite StarKid show for a long time, so I’m so excited to watch this again to see if it’s still my fave.
This post ended up being really long, so you’ve been warned. But it also includes pictures of the crocheted Roach and Bugette plushies that I made as a teen.
OH. THE OLD LOGO. AHHH. I already have so many feels. The future is now! I can’t handle this. The nostalgia! The Galactic League of Extraterrestrial Exploration. My facebook account to this day says I am a Starship Ranger at the G.L.E.E. because I’ve never bothered to change it. Also, shoutout to anyone from the StarKidPotter FB and EFST days if you’re reading this. AHHH IT’S CHRIS AND ERIC. Ok I might have to pause 20 thousand times during this Starship Ranger ad to acknowledge all the StarKid cameos. Tyler! “We come to conquer... in peace!” Tyler I love you. Brian and Richard! I forgot they painted Richard BLUE. Britney and Ariel! Nicholas Joseph Stauss-Matathia! I see that StarKid’s website has shortened his name to just Nicholas Strauss but remember the days when we’d purposefully say his full name? Anyway, I literally just screamed “NICK” when I saw him because he was always one of my faves. The Old Snatch was and still is iconic. Devin and Lily! The Wizard God himself, AJ Holmes. God... remember those AJ Holmes appreciation days where we’d make Chuck Norris-like memes about AJ? So much is rushing back from the depths of my mind oh my god... It’s been so long yet it feels like yesterday... “Someone really *static* F- *static* -ucked up big time” Love it.
2 minutes and 22 seconds in. I’ve written so much. I had to pause before Joey started singing to take a moment. I love this show so much. I love these goofballs so much. And they’re all so young. Most of them are younger than I am now. This is insane.
Ok I have to promise myself not to pause as much now. *Spoiler, I failed*
“I’ll fight off this gamma radiation if it’s the last thing I ever do!... We’re going down! This is the last thing I’ll ever do!” Oh my god. Look at baby Joey. He hasn’t even graduated from college yet. And that Bug puppet! Someone remind me to dig up the pictures of my crocheted plushies of Starship puppets since I made Roach and Bugette and gave them to the StarKids at SPACE and Apocalyptour. (I also did Rumbleroar, but the bugs were my own pattern I made so I was more proud) The camera is focused in on Bug instead of Joey’s face. I love it. So much. Brannnttttttt. My god. Am I gonna freak out over every single entrance? Roach pretending to die, he’s the best friend ever. “The needs of the many bugs outweigh the needs of the few bugs.” “Or the one bug, I know.” Oh man, when that line comes back... “Dirt eater” “Exoskeleton polisher” “I wanna build honeycombs” “The bug that ruins your picnic” “A fly on the wall!” That line came back to me earlier today and I died. Remembering that line was like 50% of the reason I listened to the soundtrack today.
Nick Lang! Julia! LAUREN LOPEZ. THERE SHE IS. Lovebugs, I can’t. *Sentimental music* “You could come over to my nest and I could... tear off your head and let my larva devour your body?” How did I forget that line? The way Lauren has to kick Bugette’s larva sack to walk. But the way that it also works so well with the character. I can’t. The Mosquito Brothers!! I forgot they show up so early. “This is our sister, Sweetheart” “...YO.” I CANNOT HANDLE JIM POVOLO. The “zzzz”s like buzzing as backing vocals instead of the usual “ahs” and “oohs.” The things you don’t appreciate until years later. Darren, you genius. That is such a good detail. For a second I couldn’t remember who the Overqueen is played by. 99% sure it’s Jim (It is). Also. Overqueen like ovary... and it looks like a giant vagina. That had to be pointed out to me later. “FLATTERY WILL GET YOU... everywhere.” Why did I forget that line too? “I’m a starship ranger” “Quiet you, you’re drunk” “No I’m drunk!” I remembered that line probably like... 2 minutes earlier when I noticed Joe huddling in the background and realized that line was coming up. The way Joey lets go of the puppet so both he and the puppet walk away with their arms limp... so cute.
Before even pressing play on part 3, I can hear February saying “Let the record show I am super ahead of schedule.” and I’m dying. I forgot about Brian as the escape pod. Denise Donovan! That Star Trek prop. I’m dumb so I can’t remember if it’s a communicator or what. But I know my Uhura Barbie had a mini one that I lost within a month probably. “OxyGen” “Schience” I can’t. “Mission Log... I think I just heard a spooky noise.” How am I forgetting all of these amazing lines? “Pika-pi!” AHHH I JUST SCREAMED. “My stars, I seemed to have landed in a field of these aMiNals!” I can’t. “Can I tell you guys something?” *port de bras and falls gently to the ground* “Hello!” “TOTORO!” I’m dead. The balloon mechanism on the mosquitos! I forgot about that! “HOLY SHIT IT’S A BUUUUGGGGG” Ok something I noticed but didn’t mention earlier. The bug puppet that Joe uses when he says “I had my heart set on nourishment” is the same one red and pink one that Julia used when talking about wanting to be nourishment. When Julia actually gets eaten, she’s using a different bug puppet, the green and pink one, but the same character voice. So, I can’t tell if they intentionally had her play 2 bugs so Joe could be one of them later, or if it was a mistake. I might also just be overthinking things. “ME THINKS IT WENT THAT-A-WAY” I cannot handle Jim Povolo. That scream Joe does as he slimes her. Woah I originally wrote “There seems to be no signs of intelligent lifeforms anywhere” earlier and then deleted it since I don’t know why I found it remarkable. And then looking at the comments of this part I see someone mentioned a Toy Story reference. So that’s why that line stuck out to me. Aww StarKid. There are so many Disney references in this show.
THERE SHE IS. THERE’S MY GIRL TAZ. The pew pew effects how could I forget that!  “Hey Taz. You’re pretty tough for a chick.” “I was just going to say the same thing about you.” “Woahhhhhhhh” JoMo oh my god. “My spectrometer readings are off the wazooooooo” That line kills me. Why am I JUST NOW noticing, 10 years later, that Tootsie enters this scene with his gun facing the wrong way. Oh my god. “I saw the empirical proof that science killed god. It’s comforting to know he was once alive though. I like to think that when he died, he went to heaven.” Oh Tootsie Noodles. “...What the hell kind of name is that?” “He’s got bear hands??” Why do I forget all of these lines??!? That record scratch and freeze frame to go “BOOOOOO” oh my god I forgot that. “Like the other day, he was in the cafeteria, just cah-rying in front of everybody.” BOOOOOOO. Here we go, Taz’s amazing Up monologue. “And when Up, cuts an onion, the ONION is the one who cry.” HELP. Also 99% sure I used that joke for AJ appreciation at least one year. “Now take a walk off my knife” What a line. So awesome. I remember having a profile pic on FB that was the text of that monologue and the image of Lauren screaming “WALK IT OFF” I’m still convinced that first “WOO” from the audience that we hear when Up enters is Darren. “I do not peepee sitting down” “Huh??” JoMo’s face as if he’s trying his hardest not to laugh and I can’t tell if that’s him breaking character or if Krayonder is actually trying not to laugh. “I peepee like big boy, deadgoddamnit. So stop making fun of me because it hurts my feelings” I’m dying. Also, deadgoddamnit is amazing. “if you don’t go out there and die for something, then I will kill you for nothing.” I remembered the mirror scene, just seconds before it started and already started laughing. “You’re not a failure, overall.” “Allow me to introduce you to the final member of your team. MegaGirl!” I forgot how DRAMATIC that was. I also forgot that’s how MegaGirl comes into the story.
I need to stop pausing every 5 seconds oh my god I’ll never finish this tonight if I don’t.
“All hail AstroBoy” That was the funniest line. “MegaGirl, can you kill humans?” “No. But I’d like to.” I can’t handle it. “A horse ate my cousin! Me and horses got a feud.” #1 MegaGirl doing the “I’m watching you” hand sign. I can’t. “Hey. Miráme. *Slaps* NOW ESCHUCHAME” amazing. “Or that time. You taught me calculus... CALCULUS WAS TOUGH.” I never went past pre-calc. Nope. Ah. Get Back Up. One of my fave songs. “And now we dance.” Dylan’s “OW” as they lean back. “Ok Idiotas. Say something nice. Or I will kill you.” It’s all so iconic.
“So you still think being an egg planter is lame?” “...Yes.”  The larva oh my god. I forgot we see one before the end. That’s Jaime playing the larva I think. Life is definitely one of my all-time favorite StarKid songs to this day. I wish it was longer. I love it so much. And I love that its instrumental is scattered as a motif throughout the show. “It’s a short, small thing we lead. With so much potential, pointless or essential, which one can I be?” Wow. Near Pippin levels of giving me an existential crisis. Also wow Joey improved his singing so much between AVPS and Starship. “My name’s Bug” “*Gasp!* Like a bug??” “Uh... no.” “Good. I’m February, like the month, but a person.” I should start saying that honestly. “I’m Hope, like the concept, but a person.” “You boldly go where every man -hey- woman -bark woof- or data dog has ever gone before! Sorry K9DX” Adorable. Joey’s subtle little double nod he makes the Bug puppet do when he’s shocked she thinks he’s a Starship Ranger. Amazing. Ah he said goddamn not deadgoddamn! February should have known right then he wasn’t human! “Take my claw” that too. "The only thing that needs to rest are your jokes, because they are so tired.” “Woahhhhhh” No but like... why don’t I use that line in everyday life... “Now I am slightly less weak.” “Ok. I’m going to shoot this metal bitch!” I’m dying. How did I forget the Taz/MegaGirl rivalry?? “That thing is a R-O-B-O-T man” “Can’t fool me with numbers, Krayonder.” I’m dead. “The stack of hay was my cousin!” #2 The way Meredith says “barometric pressure” is great. And Tootsie saying “Well you must take real good care of it, because I never would have guessed.” He’s such a sweetheart. “Nobody shoot dammit, nobody shoot.” “KILL KILL KILL” I never really liked Hideous Creatures but it’s so cute to see MegaGirl do the choreo robotically. I love that the Gap hasn’t changed. “Cool it skank, you do not know me.” Another line that I forgot until a split second before it was said. I’m so glad whoever edited this added some pews going in the wrong way for Tootsie’s gun. I know I definitely noticed Tootsie’s gun was backwards during this part, but I don’t know if I noticed it was backwards in that very first scene too. I forgot about MegaGirl tossing out Specs. That “MEGAGIRL!!!” scream from Joe though.
“Never in my 6 long days of life.” Underappreciated joke. Also, I think this is the 4th unique upright bug puppet. We got red/pink, green/blue, green/pink, and now red/blue. Also, Nick Lang is a great puppeteer. “Yes, I helped her escape. But I swear, never in a million years, did I think I’d be caught and yelled at for it!”  Oh I forgot Bugette is the witness. Jaime’s angry face behind Joey is killing me. “He didn’t know the humans were evil.” “Oh, they’re not.” “Shut up!” Humoons and hoomans. “And no more singing or dancing” *gasps of horror* “The Overqueen has overspoken.” “Well, that’s not gonna help your chances with Bugette” Oh Roach. “PERHAPS.” Jim destroys me.
God the 4-person Pincer puppet. Amazing. Dylan’s arms being strong enough to be above his head for 10 minutes straight. Amazing. Also, Nick Lang is so emotive as a claw. It took me a sec but yeah JoMo is the tail. “There were? Where are they?” Joey’s face. “Tell me all about her” The claws under the chin I can’t. Hey StarKid, I see you throwing in an ad mid-video before Kick It Up a Notch. You’re lucky I love and support you guys. “Put ‘em together and what have you got?” bibbity boppity boo. More Disney references! This scene is full of them. Man, remember when we were all blown away by Dylan’s voice in this song the first time? Like we could tell he could sing in AVPM/S, but his songs were just so jokey and only his long “Welcooooooooooome” showed us his talent. But then Kick It Up a Notch happened. And we FINALLY appreciated Dylan’s beautiful voice. “I pushed it to the limit.” and “To coin a phrase, be a man.” more Disney. I might be overthinking this and will have to rewatch Life to confirm, but I think the camera zooming out as Pincer reprises Life is just like the camerawork when Bug sang it originally. If so, then wow even when filming their shows StarKid really thinks it all through. (Update: It totally is referencing the original zooms for Life and that’s amazing. Except it’s zooming out instead of in. I LOVE the attention to detail even in filming the show. I’m gonna guess that’s Liam’s doing.) All I can see when I hear Bug’s chorus of this song is Jaime and her SPACE tour dancing, which they incorporated in Apocalyptour as actual choreography. Because they’re goofballs. The kick line. Love it. God. Even though it’s not my favorite song from Starship (just because I love Life and Beauty more), Kick It Up A Notch is one of the best StarKid has ever done. I really has everything. Dylan’s gorgeous voice. Not one but two reprises of earlier songs to throw Bug’s own words back at him. Jim’s bass line. Awesome puppets. Disney references. It’s so amazing. I love how all the comments are either about Dylan’s voice or Dylan’s ability to hold his arms up for a 10+ minute scene or both.
"Gameover man, gameover!” “I feel like cutting open your belly, and filling it with jelly” *Gasps* Oh my god, I put on the captions for a second, and  the caption said *Sad spayed puppy noises* “I am in charge of this mission now.” How did I forget about the mustache until 2 seconds before it happened? “She’s got the mustache now. *Kisses head* I love you” Oh my god Tootsie. I FORGOT ABOUT THE SECOND STACHE. There’s an ad right when we see Bug’s human form and I can’t even care because look at him! Ahhh. And the blue headband! Ahhhhh. Joey you’re so adorableeeee. “Bug? Well that’s a fine name.” His concerned face then the relief. Adorable. “Thank you sir. I am a tough bitch.” “Getting nothing but bug muff?!?” I love the slight delay the audience has before laughing as they realize what was just said. “Bug. You hard, ese. You flame.” I die. “Up there. In Space!” *dramatic pointing* No I totally didn’t just do the dramatic pointing with them... no that’s not in my muscle memory from 10 years ago... why would you think that. I’ll rave about Status Quo after it’s done. “But, what if I miss you?” Awwwwwwwww. And that “Just look up.” screenshot was used for “This.” memes in the fandom for years.
Oh Joey. Status Quo is such a good song too. And he really did improve as a singer to sing it. Earlier this week I remembered that this week is also the 10th anniversary of that time Darren was hopping from city to city every single day to promote the Warblers album. And at one point in that week he did a livestream that I remember rushing home to watch. In that livestream, I am 99% sure he sang Status Quo as a little sneak preview for Starship being released later that week. (Just checked, yep he sang it in a livestream on April 20 2011) God I love this song. Then the version the boys all sang for SPACE Tour was beyond beautiful too. Ahhh I love this musical.
Ok. It’s almost midnight. I started this 3 hours ago. I’m probably not finishing the show until 2am at the rate that I’m pausing and stopping to comment. But OH WELL.
“Dr. Spaceclaw” wow. “Leaving them behind was of little consequence, but a pleasure.” Oh Megagirl. “You did a very good job today too, son.” “*Gasp* Thanks dad.” That Star Wars fake-out though. Speaking of Star Wars, I really need to rewatch Ani now that I’m actively a Star Wars fan unlike last time when I still wasn’t invested in the movies I just watched them. How did I forget about Jaime playing Junior’s new mom?? ...Does Junior get an alien incubating in his chest... is that foreshadowing... I can’t remember. (This was like... half a foreshadow) This scene is funnier now that Breredith is married. The way Junior says “Phew” I’m dead. I remembered how they restrain MegaGirl once again 2 seconds before it happened oh my god. “We deserve bubbles on our skin.” An iconic line. “Well thank the long dead god you made it, Bug!”  The crunching of the handshake, I can’t. Oh someone in the comments pointed out that Bug and February are doing the Tarzan hand thing while Up’s asking Taz to see a movie. Adorable.
Get yourself a man like Tootsie who won’t stand for you talking down about yourself. “Maybe this was all part of God’s plan. He made before he died.” I love the dead god jokes. I remember years ago some kid on facebook was like “The dead god jokes are offensive” and I was like “It’s a sci-fi musical about a bug in a human body but sure worry about god being dead.” but probably in an even more immature answer. I’m just mesmerized by Tootsie and MegaGirl’s verses. God. The first Dylan and Meredith duet. Amazing. And MegaGirl’s confused face is great. “Don’t press that button, or we’ll all be sucked into space.” So... Can anyone tell me what foreshadowing is? Oh shoot... ok wait no I’ll comment on that when we get there. God that is such a cute love song. I wrote barely anything just because I love that song so much. Would love to know where Tootsie’s taking her though.
Oh my god this scene! I forgot about this. How could I forget this. “Well the world always looks a little bit brighter, from on top of a lap.” I had remembered Bug sitting on Up’s lap, but not Specs. This is the part I forgot. Adorable. Ahhhh so cute. The Specs/Krayonder relationship was apparently cut from the filmed version, but was present if you saw it live. These moments are adorable. And I love how this is the second person JoMo’s had to carry in this show since he also carried Denise earlier. “Why if it isn’t Bug, my oldest friend.” and “Don’t say that, my dear.” are adorable. Oh wait. Up sat on Bug’s lap. Not the other way around. Ok. I didn’t remember this scene as well as I thought I did. I’m dying. I didn’t want to write anything during this, but oh my god “That son of a bitch Optimus Prime” I forgot that. I love the audience’s reaction to “The entire right side of my body, it’s a robot” because they all gasp, and then laugh at themselves for gasping. I knew there was something he couldn’t do without crying. I didn’t remember it being “Sir I Wanna Buy These Shoes” Christmas Song. It’s ok Up, I haven’t listened to that song in full in years. I can’t handle it. But Christmas songs in general make me cry too. Oh Up said goddamn instead of deadgoddamn too. Hmm... Aww the mother spider story. “I think the old you was just killing out of hate.” “Oh I was.” I’m dying. Awwww the nose kiss. I definitely remembered that. “Deadgodspeed soldier!” The way Joey misses catching the keys and also Darren’s “Woo!” in the audience again. So great. That 12 minute scene is just adorable and the Up story is so dramatic and hilarious.
Hmm finishing before 2am might be ambitious... “Hahaha. Then I’ll shoot him!” “Taking care of my business down on the planet is that cool with you?” Brian’s delivery of that line has always intrigued me. “How much I care about my MegaGirl unit’s survival is also a percent equivalent to zero” Rude. “You are nothing like my boyfriend, Tootsie Noodles.” “Yes, well - wait WHAAA” This scene is so different now that they’re married. “Ha. Ha. It was cute.” “You’re... a toaster.” *Slaps* Ok 1) I used to use that insult all the time and only half ironically. I was a strange teenager. 2) She just hurt a human... isn’t that against programming, or can she just not kill humans? Evil angry Brolden is something we need more of. I love Brian as a villain. More please. “You stupid goddamn robot” So I guess they say goddamn and deadgoddamnit. I’m overthinking the evolution of language in this universe. Also Brian’s screams while being choked are amazing. I’ve never forgotten those, if anything they’re better now.
AHHHH I REFRESHED AND DELETED ALL OF MY STUFF FOR BEAUTY. Kill me. I’m so mad. Let me try to recreate it but I hate myself. I was saving this draft after every part but OF COURSE I don’t save after my favorite song and then refresh.
Oh poor Meredith. Her white wig doesn’t let her blend in as much when she’s in the hoodies playing a bug. “Oh hey Bugette, we’re just trying to get Bug laid!” That bug had to know about Bugette’s crush though? That’s just cruel. “The ending is killer” ruuuuuuddddddddddeee. I know I had at least one more point, but that’s lost to the ether. Beauty is probably my fave, if not tied with Life. When I was listening to it earlier, I was overcome with emotion because it’s just such a joyful song. These days I cry over happy stuff almost as much as I cry over the sad. And these lines just hit so hard... I love it. I love this song so much and this scene so much. “Bug. She excreted her filth for you. WE DID IT!!!!!!!!” Brant Cox is so good. It really is a shame he’s not in anything else besides AVPSY and the 10th Anniversary with everyone else. “I do accept you for who you really are. A genius.” Well February, you’ll be glad to know that you thought of that, so you’re the genius. Wow. Junior’s 25, Brian was 25, and now I’m 25. This really was perfect timing for the 10th anniversary. Also I do not feel 25. “Suck off!” amazing.
I’M SAVING THIS TIME.
Ok next part. Luckily I was only 1 minute into the next part when I refreshed. Still so mad at myself... “Someone really firetrucked up big time” (Dead)God I love that line. I also used firetruck unironically. Once again, I was a strange teenager and I didn’t like cursing and I still don’t. “This is so weird, I’m so used to the scrambly version.” (It was while writing this line the first time that I refreshed and lost Beauty....) Ok as I watch AJ, it’s hitting me that he almost definitely came to the set during rehearsals and filmed his part since it’s not a green screen like the rest of them. “The hunters have become the hunted, and it’s wabbit season.” “That was a good video, until the end when it got sad.” Thanks Bug. “I think, I just had a think” See February’s smart. “I’m in a weird situation” Love that line. “Bug is a BUG!? I DON’T BELIEVE IT” Oh Junior. Dylan’s insulted face at “I am not... a dumbass.”  So I can’t tell if Brian forgets he’s trapped when he moves his arms into a more relaxed position to lean on the column and then puts them back, or if it’s purposefully staged that way. Brian’s acting while he pretends to be shy and embarrassed about his evil plan is amazing and adorable. Brian has a good evil laugh, why don’t we get him as a villain more often? Also I was gonna make some sort of joke about Nick as Pincer’s left claw vs. Robert as Snarl’s left paw, but I’ll leave it be.
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT WEIGHT TAZ WAS LIFTING JUST FLOATING UP TO THE SKY WHEN SHE LETS GO. I just laughed out loud. “Damn that G.L.E.E. They’re always making twisted abominations of everything!!” I cannot handle it. And the wink. Poor Darren but also not poor Darren at all. I was just now WRACKING my mind for who could possibly be playing Pincer’s tail if JoMo was being devoured by mosquitos. It’s Brant. Literally the entire cast is currently onstage. Ok Krayonder’s been getting his blood drained for 3 minutes, why is he alive? OH I FORGOT KRAYONDER GETS UP AND SHOOTS THE BUGS. Ok and he gets chopped by Pincer’s claws too so HOW does he survive? StarKid answer!!! I forgot how dramatic this musical gets when you got both the bugs and MegaGirl coming after the humans. Aww the Vulcan salute from Specs. “I changed my name. To Tootsie... MegaGirl.” I love the reactions of the people in the audience who immediately realize what that means. I hear at least one “oh my god” that sounds like sobbing. Awwwww Tootsie’s “that’s real” speech and “I’d love you if you was the horse that ate my cousin.” (#3) just... get yourself a man like Tootsie MegaGirl. He is perfection. God the downloading love scene is so cute. I can’t handle it.
The Up saving Taz scene is so dramatic. Then Brian and Jim just calmly walk offstage. It kills me. Also why did Jaime just continue to lie there? “I just needed to learn how to kill with my heart.” Not exactly what Bug meant, but it works. God Taz climbing onto Up’s back is still the most hilarious thing ever. Whoever thought of her climbing that way was a genius. So funny. I always wanted to try it. Holding the gun up to her head like a blowdryer always gave me anxiety. Making the door out of a scrim that can be backlit was genius. Oof and bringing back “The needs of the many bugs outweigh the needs of the few bugs. Or the one bug.” just hurts. Poor Bug. My heart. This is probably the line that sticks with me to this day and I do think about sometimes.
Ok it’s now 2am and I still have 2 more parts.
I sorta love that Joey didn’t have the time to change into his blacks so he’s still in the Starship Ranger suit while playing the Bug puppet. “Save the Overqueen. I love her.” Awww. “Roach, I’m gonna get the job done if it’s the second last thing I do.” Love it. That Kick It Up A Notch Reprise though. Brian, you should play villains more often. Also remember all of us being like “LUPIN CAN SING?!?!?!??!!” “Lucky for me, God is dead. When you see him in hell, tell him Junior sent you.” Deadgod I love that line. This whole deadgod thing was just leading up to that amazing line. Oh no Bugette! Bug saying “maestro” oh my god. “DFSDSJFDSJKFDS... I’m dead.” I forgot that part! Oh my god the way Brian flicks the glasses back down on his face. Ok so I saw Lauren wiggle her way behind the mucus sac, but I didn’t see Nick come onstage. I rewinded, and I guess the zoom in shots on Brian and Joey were timed so we can’t see Nick join Lauren to be the first larva to come out. Oh well. And I love the crowd cheering as Junior dies. “And bingo was his name-o” That callback though. I forgot that the Overqueen eats Bugette’s body while crying. “Or Bugette! Oh...” Also god Roach is adorable.
Last part. 2:21am. Here we go. Krayonder got his blood sucked out by giant mosquitos and was cut up by a giant scorpion, but all he needs is a bandage around his head. Awwww the soft “I Wanna Be” playing the background as Bug begs the team to accept his bug form. Bug being so mad “It’s that bastard Pincer isn’t it?” and then being so happy that Joey does the little nose scrunch thing. So cute. JOEY’S FACE WHEN DENISE KISSES THE BUG PUPPET. Cannot believe I forgot that until 2 seconds before it happened too. “I now pronounce you man vs. machine. Fight!” WOAH. Why in the WORLD did “eep op ork ahah” come back to me. I was able to say it WITH Joey. That was straight from the DEPTHS of my teenage brain oh my god. I forgot about that oh my GOD. THAT’S INSANE. I FORGOT SO MUCH STUFF BUT I REMEMBERED HOW TO SAY “I LOVE YOU” IN BUG.
And the Beauty reprise.
God I love this musical. It’s still my fave StarKid show I think. And I’m horrified to see that it has only 500K views for the last part, so only 500K people have watched it all the way through after 10 years. That’s disgraceful. It’s amazing. Watch Starship.
It is 2:32am. I started at 8:50pm. Got sidetracked when I had to rewatch the Beauty part of Act 2 again to make sure I got my notes back in the post. Took a few bathroom breaks. But this is mostly because I paused every like 10 seconds to make a comment, so it took 5 and a half hours to watch a 3 hour musical. This why I take forever to watch things while liveblogging. I take too long to writing notes.
I’ll probably just post this in the morning. Gotta proofread for mistakes before posting.
Ok it’s the next afternoon. This post is literally 5,000+ words and takes 20 minutes to read according to a online word counter. I’m sorry to whoever read this entire thing. Your reward is the pictures of the Starship plushies I crocheted when I was 15 and 16.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Ignore the bad lighting and my horribly chipped paint. That’s the only picture I have of the Bugette one since I gave it to Lauren Lopez a day later. I started making another for myself shortly after but never finished. Maybe I should finally finish the second one... hmm...)

Tag Game
Thank you for tagging me @meitanteisachi ! And sorry for the delay in response. Here's a little more insight into my blog, for anyone who cares LOL:
1. Why did you choose your url? My username is inspired from that one scene in Ep 400 (Ran’s Suspicions) where Shinichi and Ran are discussing their car’s number plate preferences; and Ran suggests Shinichi should use Ku10-41; because it sounds like his name. It was something Ran came up for Shinichi, which I found really cute; so back in 2016, when I was up my fanfiction account, I ended up using this as my username and it sort of became my digital identity in the DC fandom, so I just defaulted to this username while setting up my Tumblr as well.
2. Any side blogs? None
3. How long have you been on tumblr? With an account? 3 months. As an anonymous lurker? More than 3 years I guess?
4. Do you have a queue tag? No
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place? Well, I’d been an anonymous lurker on Tumblr for awhile but always lazed on actually creating an account. A few months ago, I thought, hey maybe DC is gonna end soon, so I should use this time to connect with fellow ShinRan fans. And that’s how we are here.
6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp? I think it’s pretty obvious. It’s a pic of Ran being a badass; and everyone loves a badass Ran. It’s from the scene in the anime where Ran tells off Sera, during the besieged detective agency case, that Shinichi would never allow a man to die if he can help it. She said this line with so much conviction, I think I fell in love with Ran and ShinRan all over again.
7. Why did you choose your header? Again, it’s something which I feel perfectly summarizes the ShinRan dynamic, especially Shinichi’s affection for Ran. He silently stands by Ran’s side, being there for her, emotionally supporting her, without her realizing that he’s there with her. He’s not big with words of affection and doesn’t say how much he cares for her, he just lets his actions do the talking. He tires hard to feign indifference but stills ends up making his feelings crystal clear (to the spectators atleast; there’s a reason why they get teased by the whole school for being a married couple, even though they keep denying it to themselves). Little things that he does, speaks a lot about his feelings; and we keep seeing glimpses of the same throughout the manga.
8. What's your post with the most notes? Currently, it’s the meme I posted a couple days ago – the one where Aoyama is saying he’ll catch up to Golgo 13 LOL. It took me a whole 5 mins, and it has more notes than the amv I posted a couple months back which took the whole night LOL.
9. How many mutuals do you have? 7
10. How many followers do you have? Okay, this embarrassing, it’s a whopping 28! LOL 😂
11. How many people do you follow? This is embarrassing too - 28🙈🙈 I guess you reap what you sow, gotta find more blogs to follow 😂
12. Have you ever made a shitpost? Nope
13. How often do you use tumblr each day? I think I use it once every day or atleast once every two days.
14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won? Thankfully, never got into such a situation till now. I’m not a very confrontational person by nature, tbh. I’m told I handle arguments maturely and try not to escalate things. And that too, I actually give it a really hard think, whether it’s worth the effort, otherwise I just let it pass. I hate inciting drama, although I love watching it😂
15. How do you feel about "you need to reblog this" posts? Hmmm, not really into that type of thing, unless I have a reason to believe it can actually help someone.
16. Do you like tag games? Yes!
17. Do you like ask games? Yes!! Please send me asks, I’m all for answering them!
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is [tumblr] famous? But of course, it’s our dear @meitanteisachi. Someone sent her a message saying she’s the heart of the fandom, and frankly, I agree.
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual? No
20. Tags: I’m tagging @icedcoffeeanyone

The Order S2E08
I’m rewatching The Order for the 4th time and basically just gonna live blog it so if you don’t want to see my blabbering posts about each episode you can block the tag #Rachel obsesses about The Order
2.08
God DAMNIT Kepler
Vera and Kepler bicker like siblings
Or………. lovers?
My gay goggles are on tonight
OoooOoOoohhh, awkward little moment between Gabrielle and Randall
i still……….. don’t really like them together, but some of their interactions are p cute
“So Vera’s throwing us to the wolves. The….. metaphorical ones.”
They really are an army of elitist douche nozzles
“He doesn’t like you.” “I don’t like you either.”
Ew. so. much. blood.
and Selena and Nicole stuck cleaning it all up
again, aren’t there any other disciples around
“Can you be serious for one second” “Not if I can avoid it”
Jack is always so sarcastic and it’s my favourite thing about him “I’d argue it’s actually inconvenient”
Vera’s home looks a lot like Edward Coventry’s….. did she steal his house? lol
PAUSE IT ON THE NEWSPAPER, there’s Vera’s graduation pictures and a news headline that says ‘Washington Potato Queen Wins Scholarship’
Finally some lore! Some info about the history of the Order!
I bet at least a few of those books are the ones my friend designed
if i could just see a close up on some of the pages I could compare to the pics she sent me…….
“You guys do realize that technically we are walking murder spells?” “Wow, way to take all the fun out of being a werewolf.” idk that’s a pretty cool way to get to describe yourself
“Guys wait! I think I found something. Look -“ *proceeds to turn book around and flip them off
Randall would know stuff about viruses and infections, Pre-Med.
“Alexander Hame-ilton”
“Okay… Okay… If I was an uptight, manipulative liar with… impeccable lip liner…” I’d argue that Vera’s eyeliner rivals her lipliner but okay
THE BELGRAVE HYSTERICAL SOCIETY
SERIOUSLY PAUSE AND LOOK AT THAT POSTER
‘join us for a night of unscripted fun and guaranteed laughs!’
the photo is iconic
How are their hands not covered in scars or do they heal themselves
but how would they heal themselves if they need to pay a price for magic wouldn’t they need to pay a price for a healing incantation and then be stuck in an endless loop
♪ don’t think about it too hard, it's a wormhole it's a mobius strip it's snake eats tail, it’s the infinity sign♪  nobody is going to understand my references but lol
What is that lasso looking thing that Salvador uses, is that ever established? I remember Alyssa also uses it at one point later in the season
“I don’t need a babysitter!” “Why do you sound like a baby?” “Why do you look like a baby???”
How many diciples went and watched The Princess Bride after this experience
“Who is she again?” “I’ve literally never seen her before today”
I love that Randall cares about Nicole, even though she was his ‘competition’ for Lilith’s affection, he still cares about her
“Like a toxoplasmosisa gondii.” “oh yeah right, that one. how could i forget?”
That’s at least the second time that Nicole has said something about ‘not wanting to make another mistake’ soooo…. what was it that she did at her old temple?
“You did get Terry’s blood on you” “You got Foley’s on you!” “So did you which makes you…infected twice!!”
“Who you calling a necromancer?” “If you bathe in the blood of virgins to maintain your youthful glow, you’re a necromancer.”
Hamish looks goooood in a tight black t-shirt
WIth what little we know about Alyssa, having someone like Salvor say to her “make your own decisions, live your life” is exactly what she wants to hear and it’s no wonder she gets manipulated again
*somebody mentions murder spells* *everyone immediately looks at Gabrielle*
bleegghhg yep just dig around inside a dudes internal organs, no big deal
“This doesn’t mean I forgive you.” “It means you’re going to.”
“For fucks sake, Kepler! Come on, you won!”
Vera is the best Grand Magus probably in many years, maybe even ever
I’m sure the Vade Maecum will always come back
Maybe Edward will come back too, if he’s still bound to the book
“Can I keep this risotto recipe?”

word count: 2,326
warnings: fluff, minor angst
requested by @yourewelcomeforbeingmyfriend : This is fun! I also love that icon pic - MGG is adorable. the season’s kind of blur together for me, but I think this was an early one - could you maybe write a story where the reader has a crush on Reid and she finds out about Lila the celebrity with the stalker who liked him? Like the reader finds out about it and feels insecure because she can’t compete and Reid is obviously oblivious to her liking him until finally he asks why she’s acting different and she just tells him.
summary: lila is a perfect match for spencer, and when you catch them making out in her pool, you can’t help but compare yourself to her in every way.
author’s note: if you have any requests, please send them in! this is unbeta’d and every mistake is all on me. if your tag doesn’t work three times in a row (three stories i post in a row) then I will be removing you.

“Coffee with 7 sugars,” you grinned as you set the cup on your best friend’s desk. He looked up with a huge smile, relieved that he could now drink his sugary drink.
“Thanks, Y/N,” Spencer said.
“I don’t know how you drink that much sugar. Isn’t it just safer to drink fruit juice?” you asked as you took a seat.
“Actually, most produce naturally contains sugar, and fruit typically packs more than vegetables. Without fiber in the mix, juice is essentially just the natural sugars and water found in its ingredients. Though natural sugar may seem harmless, your body does little to distinguish between the sugars in an apple versus those in a piece of candy. So, no, it wouldn’t be safer,” he rambled.
“You know, sometimes I wonder what it’s like to be you. What it’s like to think like you,” you chuckled with a shake of your head.
“A lot of hard work,” he blushed. Looking around the office, you cause Morgan staring at you and Spencer with a smile on his face. Rolling your eyes, you turned back to the work that was piled on your desk. You and Spencer shared a desk but that never bothered you. He has been your constant friend since arriving at the BAU. He taught you the ropes, helped you get accommodated, and treated you like you were apart of the family since day one.
He had been kind, gentle, and caring towards you all the time which is why you’ve developed feelings towards him. They didn’t happen overnight, it was a matter of time before you realized why you had butterflies in your stomach whenever he even looked your way. He couldn’t see what everyone else saw; he was beyond handsome, amazingly intelligent, and so adorable. He would never think twice about a woman like you even looking twice his way. It’s why you didn’t tell him of your feelings.
Everyone else in the BAU knew of your feelings for him as well as his feelings for you. Every morning you bought coffee for him just the way he liked. You’d take him out to lunch when he’d forget to eat. You’d always ask about his day when it was over and he was walking you to your car. You two cared so much for the other that you didn’t see just how much your feelings have grown.
In your work bag, you had bags of snacks that you knew Spencer would enjoy, so when it came around that time to eat a snack, you would put them on his desk and watch him eat it with a smile. Everyone else questioned why you didn't bring them snacks, but they knew the answer to that one. Morgan and Garcia pushed you and Spencer to tell the other about your feelings, but you would shut her down just like Spencer did with Morgan. Spencer thought you were way out of his league when you thought you weren't good enough to be with a man like him.
You were too beautiful for him, and you weren't smart enough. He was too awkward and clumsy, and you were too ordinary for him. It was like either/or with everything that went on in your mind, so you decided to forget about it. Being Spencer’s friend was a hell of a lot better than not knowing him at all. At least this way, you could be close to him, laugh with him, and share his victories.
There had been a case recently about a celebrity, Lila Archer, having a stalker. She was getting death threats, pictures of her, and anonymous flowers sent to her trailer. The BAU was called onto the case, and Hotch assigned Spencer to be her personal bodyguard until the situation resolved itself. You wouldn’t have a problem with that because if anyone could protect her, it would be Spencer, but you were kind of insecure.
Lila was beautiful in every way. She was skinny, toned, blonde, had blue eyes, was funny, and she seemed especially interested in Spencer. Of course, he didn't see the flirtation she sent his way which only angered you more because she was going to keep doing it. It wasn’t in your place to stop her from advancing on him because you weren't his girlfriend, and if he wanted to date someone like her then so be it. You two have grown close recently, so you hoped he would see through her ac and choose to stick by your side.
Since he was her bodyguard, he stayed at her house with her just in case anything were to happen. Hotch requested him to check up every half hour with news on what was going on. Spencer followed every rule to the T, but the only problem was that you hadn’t heard from him in over an hour and a half.
“Y/N,” Hotch spoke, calling you over to him. Leaving JJ’s side, you approached your boss professionally. “I need you to go check on Lila and Spencer and see what happened. He isn’t checking in for a reason. Go see what it is.”
“Yes, sir,” you nodded as you grabbed one of the company’s vehicle’s keys. Quickly heading out you drove to Lila’s house which wasn’t that far away. As you approached her front door, it was locked which was to be expected. Thinking that maybe her gates were open, you headed out to the back to see if you could spot one of them in one of the many windows from the back. Luckily the gate was short enough for you to reach over and unlock it from the inside, so you walked in with your gun present in case there was danger.
As you turned the corner, you saw a lump in the pool, and as you walked closer, you saw it was Spencer and Lila. Making out. Every vein in your body froze with the realization that you would never be good enough for him. Lowering your gun in shock, you stared at them as he kissed her with passion. Her hands were all over him, and you looked away as tears began to brim the surface of your eyes. She was everything you weren't so it made sense why he chose her over you.
Seeing as how there was no real danger here, you turned and left the property, taking your sweet ass time to get back to the main office. When you did, the only thing you told Hotch was that they got caught up making dinner and watching a movie to check in. Thankfully he believed in it, but Morgan could sense that something was off. There was something you were hiding from Hotch, something that clearly made you upset.
********************************************************************************************
When the case was over, everyone was on the plane back to Quantico. It was silent as most of the team were sleeping, except you, Spencer, and Morgan. He had his headphones on, but his eyes were on you and your best friend. With almost every plane ride, you and Spencer played a few games of chess which he always won. In the past, you told him repeatedly why he would want to play you when you always lost, but he always said he loved the challenge and the stimulating environment. However, this time, you just weren't into it.
“You can start,” Spencer smiled.
“No thanks,” you said in a monotone voice. He snapped his eyes to you in concern, sensing something was wrong. “I don’t want to play.”
“Is everything alright?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. I just don’t want to play. I’m going to see if I can sleep for a bit,” you said as you got up, making your way over to the other side of the plane and took a seat. Spencer frowned but let it go, afraid he did something to make you like this. Morgan took off his headphones before approaching you, taking a seat directly across from you.
“You okay, kid?” he asked quietly. Before you came alone, Spencer was the youngest of the team, but now it was you only by a few years. Spencer was currently 25 years old with you being just 21.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just tired.”
“You were fine when you left to check on Spencer and Lila. Did something happen with them?”
“Lila Archer. Why is he even coming home? He should just stay with her if he likes her so much,” you scoffed.
“I see. You don’t get it, but you will. You both will. He’s on this plane for a reason,” he grinned as he stood up.
“Yeah, it’s his job,” you answered as he walked away although, he didn’t answer back.
********************************************************************************************
For the next few days, you couldn’t help but be cold towards Spencer. There was no morning coffee waiting for him, no snacks, and no lunch. Whenever he asked to do something, you would make some lame excuse as to why you couldn’t. He always seemed oblivious which is why he never pressed it further. He was going crazy trying to rack his brain as to why you were acting this way to him. He tries to ask you, but he never could get an answer.
It’s not like you wanted to treat him this way, but whenever you looked at him all you saw was Lila. Lila and him in the pool making out. Lila with her hands all over his body as he kissed her with passion. Now that you were back in Quantico, you had some time to think about the whole mess which you didn't like. It was the precise reason why you called in “sick” one morning. You couldn’t go to work and see Spencer one more time without bursting into tears.
“Where is Y/N?” Spencer asked when he saw your desk empty. YOu usually came in before he did.
“Took a sick day,” Morgan replied.
“Sick? She was feeling fine yesterday. Is she okay?” he panicked, hoping you were alright.
“I don’t know. Why don’t you go check on her for us? I’m sure she would love the company,” he smirked, knowing you weren't really sick.
“Hotch, can I go see Y/N? She might need some help,” Spencer asked his boss. When he and Morgan exchanged looks, they both were on the same page.
“Make it quick,” he nodded. Spencer quickly packed his things before heading out, driving to your house as quickly as he could. When he got there, he knocked on the door and waited.
No one was supposed to come over, and everyone you knew was at work, so who could that be? Leaving your blanket behind, you walked to the door before opening it blindly. There was no peephole despite you complaining to your landlord about it. When you saw Spencer there, your whole body froze.
“You’re not sick,” he observed.
“Yes, I am,” you faked coughed, hoping he was dumb enough to fall for it.
“That was a fake cough, your nose isn’t red from blowing it, I don’t see any tissues scattered on the floor, no bowl with soup, or a trash can in case you need to throw up. Plus, I can’t smell cough medicine on your breath, and I know it’s strong because I’ve had it before. And you’re watching Grey’s Anatomy which isn’t the show you watch when you’re sick. You watch Spongebob because it makes you laugh.”
“Shit,” you muttered, knowing you could never fool him.
“What’s going on? You’ve been avoiding me all week. Did I do something to make you upset?”
“Ask Lila. I’m sure she would just love it if you called her. Maybe she might fly you down there so you two can resume kissing,” you glared as your mouth spit out words.
“You s-saw that?” he stuttered.
“That’s what you have to say? You know what, bye Spencer. Go back to work,” you said as you began closing the door. However, he stuck his hand out an walked in as if he owned the place.
“Are you jealous?” he wondered.
“What, no,” you scoffed.
“I think you are. Your body froze when you saw me--”
“Okay, fine, I am. So what?” you cut him of, not in the mood to hear another diagnose.
“But why?”
“Because maybe I like you? As in more than a friend. Maybe it’s because when I saw you kiss Lila I wished it were me instead?” you confessed, watching his reaction closely.
“Y-you like me?” he asked and you nodded as your answer. “But why?”
“Are you seriously asking me that question? Look at you, Spencer. You’re unbelievably handsome; I have a hard enough time as it is trying to keep my hands off you. You’re so smart and funny, and caring, and you give me butterflies when you just look at me. But, I’m not Lila. I’m not skinny like she is, or a model, or blonde with blue eyes. I’m just me. I’m not that smart, I’m not that attractive, and you deserve someone like her. At least she had the balls to kiss you.”
“I don’t want Lila. She kissed me. I didn’t know what to do so I ran with it. But she’s not you. I think you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever laid eyes on. You’re very smart otherwise you wouldn’t be where you are now. You’re funny, you always take care of me, and you’re my best friend. I will always choose you,” he said as he blushed.
“Spencer,” you whispered as he walked closer to you.
“C-can I kiss you?” he stuttered, afraid to even ask the question.
“You never have to ask me that for my answer will always be yes,” you grinned, grasping his tie and pulling him down towards you. His lips met yours passionately, and you finally felt at home. You were right where you belonged, and you never wanted to leave.

My thoughts on episodes 1x05 through 1x10
I am very very late for my rewatch posts so I'm just going to do a mix of important things from episodes 5 to 10. First of all, it's the first time I'm noticing the pattern of the first part of the season. -The pilot sets up the show, presents each character and what will actually an important part of the main plot of the season. -0-8-4 is about making them a team -The Asset and Eye Spy is about setting up all the different dynamics (bus kids, Fitzsimmons, Skye and Ward, Coulson and May, etc …) Then, even though, there's of course a role for everyone in each episode, each one focuses on and gives either backstory or delves into the personality of one specific character. -In The Girl in The Flower Dress has Skye kind of betraying the team. We could get to meet Skye's boyfriend, her implication with The Rising Tide and what really made her join the team and her interest in SHIELD. This also sets up an important part of season two's plot about Skye's origins and the inhumans. Other things about this episode: Skye is the first one to get some but it clearly doesn't mean anything in term of happiness in relationships. Jemma is being really sweet and understanding about the whole situation. It's a good thing she understands you can do anything for someone you've been through a lot with because … Oh boy! You'd think Fitz is a bit jealous because he still has a crush on Skye but knowing what we know now, it's probably the betrayal that hurt the most. -In FZZT, we don't get backstory on Jemma (Will we ever?) but we get to know her better and to know that she's not just the cute, dorky, genius scientist, she's also very strong and can make the hard call and sacrifice herself to save everyone else if needed. Of course, her life being completely entwined with Fitz, it's logical that we also learn more about their relationship. Up to this point, they were acting siblings like and being the comic relief and suddenly, we see how much deeper their relationship is with that look they share at the "You've been beside the whole damn time" moment. And we also get the first hint that there might more than friendly feelings. Other things about this episode: That iconic bus kids scene will never not be funny. Skye "shadowing" her supervising officer and being an actual child. May interviewing that poor kid "have a cookie". The most adorable cheek kiss followed by the pillow hug. Fitz calling Jemma for the first time. Coulson not letting anyone taking away his dream team is awesome. -In The Hub, we don't get Fitz's backstory but we get to learn a lot more about him and how he's like without Jemma. During the mission, Ward is his usual badass spy self but we also learn that Fitz can also do well in the field. But where Ward lies and says what he thinks people want to hear to get what he wants, Fitz manages by being exactly himself. He uses science and gadgets to find a solution but also, he manages to be liked by Vladimir and that woman because he's cute and friendly and he drinks with them. And we know it's sincere because he worries about them later. That's the big difference with Ward and maybe a bit of foreshadowing. Also, he can't stop talking about Simmons (that bunny suit story was cute, Ward you asshole!) and that tells a lot about their relationship. Other things about this episode: The whole scene with Simmons, Sitwell and Skye, it's absolute gold and this whole episode is gold. Those scanners in the Hub saying "say cheese", that's cute 😄. The Hub is Disneyland fo FitzSimmons, they would totally wait in line for a pic with Victoria Hand. The sandwich of love saga begins. Love Jemma saying "you'll be careful" not "please be careful" or "will you be careful?". It's not a question or a demand, it's an affirmation. He just has to be careful because she cannot imagine loosing him. And that's the same sentence she'll use after finally realizing her feelings in 2x21. -In The Well, we learn a lot more about Ward and the whole story with his brothers. It's a very interesting backstory because it's the "typical" abusive brother or parent but it's more complicated and actually, the fact that his older brother made him do bad things to his little brother might be foreshadowing about about that scene with FitzSimmons where he's struggling between the sincere feelings he still has for them and his loyalty to Garrett along with the pressure. Also, the staff making him agressive also reveals the worse sides of him, especially with Fitz. Also, Fitz looking down and being speechless when Ward is an asshole is heartbreaking and maybe a sign of his father being abusive. Other things about this episode: Piloting an alien ship is totally on May's list. Thor IS dreamy. I looooove Randolph ❤️ Simmons loves dissecting stuff. May is super badass and she's scary as hell with the power of the whole staff. "You are easily the most beautiful thing ive seen in a thousand years." That was smooth. -In Repairs, we finally get to know more about May and why she's The Cavalry. We'll have to wait until season two to get the whole story but at least, we get a better idea along with a better understanding of her personality. She's not being robotic or cold when she shots the woman at the beginning, she just doesn't want to risk something horrible happening the other people around. But we can also that she has a nicer, more sensitive side when she listens to Skye's speech about forgiving mistakes and talks to Tobias. "Let the girl go" is totally a sentence she could have told herself. Her smile after pranking Fitz at the end is awesome. I love how so much of what May expresses is through facial expressions only. Other things about this episode: May and Ward will always be gross. Also, does no one ever wear bras in movies and TV? Fitz being called sir in season will always be funny (because he's a baby). That scene with May and the blinking lights is gorgeous. -The Bridge finally goes back to what is going to be the main plot of the season: The super soldiers, Cybertek, the Clairvoyant and the big mystery that is Coulson's death. Except for Yes Men who would really fit better in the first part of the season, every episode from 1x10 on will be more or less linked to the main plot of the season. Thoughts about this episode: Mike was really sweet and wanted to do good and he deserved better. It's really too bad he became so much darker and robotic later. FitzSimmons is awesome in that episode, love all the little in synch moment with their matching clothes and the little wave when they're introduced to Mike. That whole scene with Mike is gold. FitzSimmons look tiny next to him. Fitz is so cute trying to be cute and Jemma is SO THIRSTY taking Mike's measurements by hand. (Don't worry Fitz, you too are well formed and symmetrical). And also, they're soooo proud of their suit, it's like it's their child. May has to be the mean parent with Skye because Coulson doesn't have the courage to be honest with and it's not cool of him because Skye already thinks pretty badly of May. But he's also very understanding of Mike's reasons and that's what makes him such a good leader. Just like he'll be surprisingly understanding of Bobbi and Mack's betrayal in season two.

My last day of the CMBYN pilgrimage
I went to Elio's spot this morning. (The only reason I chose today to go, is that the weather report said today would be the only day that wouldn't rain during my stay lmao.) I took the train to Capralba and the walked about 25-30 minutes to get to his spot, which is Fontanile Quarantina (google it then you'll find out where it is). Well, at first I thought I couldn't get in because there is a gate sorta blocked the way, but actually you can go through it from the side.
Anyway, I got to Elio's spot and I could hear Elio telling Oliver "this is my spot, all mine" in my head awwwww —
But then I stared at the water and was stunned by my stupidity that how come I never thought about the possibility that I HAVE TO GO INTO THE WATER to be able to take photos that look like the scene???!!!! (God I hoped I have brought my flip-flops...) So I did. Got into the water. In November.
Tumblr media
And you know what's the first thought that popped up on my mind?
ITS NOT FREEZING AT ALL OLIVER YOU ARE SUCH A DELICATE LITTLE FLOWER!!! AND YOU WERE EVEN THERE IN SUMMER!
So now Elio's reaction to Oliver's comment suddenly has some new meaning to me...
Tumblr media
I took off my shoes and left them on where I stepped into the water, when I was in the middle of the water I realized my shoes would be in the photos if looking closely, because nothing would block them. But you know, by that point I didn't even give a damn when I had been stepping on pointy little stones which somehow managed to be pointy and slippery, I'm not walking back to put my shoes somewhere that wouldn't be in my photos and walking to the middle of that pond again. (Is that a pond or something?) Anyway, I'm glad I can't see my shoes in those instant photos which aren't as sharp as digital one lmao.
Tumblr media
So after my struggle of taking photos and videos of Elio's spot, I planned to find where they first kissed. But the season is all wrong, everything looked yellow and brown and I didn't have a single clue where the damn spot was, even though I knew I was standing there according to Google Maps. So guys, if you ever wanna go there, pick what season you visit wisely lol.
Tumblr media
After the advent to Elio's spot, I went back to Crema, and saw three groups of people that I highly suspect were going to Crema for CMBYN, I mean one girl was even in a shirt that looked similar to Elio's "face shirt"... And I was wondering what special day today was that people were coming Crema???
I walked 16 minutes to a place that I wasn't sure was open, but wanted to try my luck before I had to catch a train in an hour. And lucky I was able to get in the place Armie said they shot the scene he hates the most lol.
Tumblr media
I know it doesn't really look like the scene in the movie without all the tables and chairs and stuff, but you can see the stage on the left under all those piled up chairs, despite the not ideal angle of this pic.
But in the gif you might have a better idea of how it looks like...
Tumblr media
And this place even has an interesting name lol.
Tumblr media
I wanted to stay longer, but I had to catch the train to The Train Station Elio and Oliver said their goodbye. And today I got to the station without trouble. (YAY! You know yesterday's tragedy is still vivid...)
And I was lucky to capture the moment that there's actually train stopped on the platform. The movie has two scenes with trains on the platform, one is the train arriving, the other one is Elio watching Oliver's train go.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then I had to wait one and half hour at some place basically is in the middle of nowhere for the train back to Crema lol. But this station being the last stop of my pilgrimage feels like some mysterious coincidence.
Tumblr media
Maybe it's because this is the iconic place of the movie that holds such powerful emotions, and just like Elio, I don't really feel ready for this pilgrimage to end yet.
I don't know, maybe this feels like some sort of closure to me, and I'm not sure I want it to end. But well, I still have some set locations that I didnt have the chance to go, so maybe someday I'll come back again?
Somehow this is getting melancholy lol. Anyway, thanks for all of you who have replied/reblogged/liked my pilgrimage posts, you have no idea how chatting with you guys while I'm in Crema,the place that brings us together makes me feel. It's an overwhelming and unique experience that I think I'll remember forever. I'm so glad I came :D

—–
The 2 boys ended up playing video games for an hour after they decided they’d become friends, which went surprisingly well. They were really just big nerds too tall for their own good, and it showed when they played video games.
Conversation flowed easily, bants were abundant, and afterwhile they both forgot they were there because of their fake relationship, it just felt like hanging out. It’d been a long time since Dan had just hung out with someone who was genuine and didn’t want something from him. At least with Phil he was upfront with what he wanted from Dan, it was all in contract form to keep it clear.
“Wotch your back Daniel, I’m creeping up on you.” Phil yelled as he gripped his controller more intensely.
In any other setting Dan would’ve been frightened by this sentence, but seeing as it was because Dan was currently in first place in an intense game of mario kart 8, it was rather acceptable. They were on the first lap of the animal crossing track, season: autumn, and Dan had already pulled ahead as he spent far too much time playing mario kart in his free time. When you don’t know who you can trust, mario kart will always be there for you.
“Oh are you? ARE YOU?” Dan had a bad habit of getting way too loud when it came to competitions. He was howling in a way that could be deemed offensive had he been playing with a different person, Phil however, just laughed at him as he attempted to catch up.
“Yes! You’re going down!” Phil shrieked, and before Dan even knew what was happening he was hit with a blue shell, effectively knocking him out of his first place position and letting Phil take the lead.
“YOU LITTLE SON OF A PFFT PSH PFT.” Dan was trying not to swear too much, as to leave a good first impression on his fake boyfriend, but goddamn it was hard. He ended up just making random exhales of air as he tried to earn back his spot in first place.
Phil found so much joy in that little blue shell moment, his eyes were lit up and he was laughing like a maniac and just a little part of Dan felt that it was worth letting him win if he got to see him being so happy. The rest of Dan wanted to crush all his hopes and dreams as he destroyed him at mario kart.
They kept up the back and forth game of going between 1rst and 2nd until the third lap when Dan had pretty much established himself as winner in his own eyes. That was until the biggest upset in the history or time when Phil got the bullet on the last corner and won by a very small margin. Needless to say Dan threw his controller and Phil laughed so hard he was snorting.
“I won! Take that, Danny boi!” Phil had stood up on his couch and stared down at Dan in victory.
“Danny boi? Oh god this is embarrassing. Losing mario kart in my own home, to a noob.” Phil was hardly a noob, but Dan liked to tease. He glossed over the fact that he’d earned himself a new nickname, one he’d surprisingly never heard before. After his high school experience with gems such as ‘dick loving dan’ and ‘homo howell’ he’d have thought he’d heard every variation of his name possible, but Phil was constantly coming up with new ways to surprise him.
Mid gloat Phil’s phone started buzzing nonstop and he put a pause on his victory chant to reach down and grab the vibrating device. Phil plopped himself back down onto a seated position as he checked his phone to see who his caller was, as Dan started deciding on the next track they should play.
“Oh, uh, I’ve got to take this, it’s my manager.”
Dan barely looked up as he waved him off to allow him to go answer his phone. As Phil exited the room he could hear a greeting being exchanged and then some whispering. If he tried he could make out the words, but that was wrong, right? Eavesdropping was bad and he shouldn’t do it. Dan maintained that idea until he heard his name spoken and then curiosity got the better of him. He crept quietly, almost spy like towards the entryway of his living room, just far enough that he could better hear, but not too far that it would be unnatural if Phil were to walk back in and see him. Dan was just hanging out on the edge of the couch, nothing weird about that.
“It’s going okay, Liam. He seems cool, everything will be fine.” Phil was pacing back and forth through the hallway, making parts of his sentence quieter than the rest, but the message Dan received was loud and clear in his ears. Phil Lester thought he was cool.
Suddenly all those fanboy feelings Dan had been repressing through the time they spent together were resurfacing as he played those words over and over and over again in his head. All that mumbo jumbo about Phil being just a regular guy flew out the window as Dan heard himself being complimented by one of the most iconic actors of the recent era (and not to mention overall attractive man).
Phil Lester thinks you’re cool.
That was one hell of a confidence booster.
Dan zoned out and missed  the rest of the convo because goddamnit he was cool. Shans advice really worked, he played it cool and it payed off in the end.
As Dan’s brain was still processing the idea that he was cool, he heard Phil’s footsteps and realized he must’ve hung up the phone and was headed back towards the lounge, back to Dan. As this truly hit Dan, he scrambled to seem casual, natural, and cool.
“Hey, I think I’m going to head off soon, manager called my car already.” Phil said as he made his reappearance, seemingly not noticing Dan’s less than usual behavior.
“Okay, cool.”
Fucking hell don’t say cool, that makes it seem like you were eavesdropping.
Dan had been eavesdropping but he didn’t want Phil to know he’d been listening in. Already feeling the effects of guilt for being a sneaky little shit, Dan made sure to avoid meeting Phil’s gaze, although that probably just made him seem even more sketchy.
“Yeah, so, thanks for having me over, and for the whole- ya know, fake boyfriend stuff. Really saved me there.” Phil was fidgeting with his fingers as he stood awkwardly by the lounge entrance, having yet to step back into the room as he knew he’d be leaving soon.
“Oh yeah, sure. No problem, should be fun. Speaking of which, what’s the next thing we need to do?” Dan asked, unsure how to about this thing. They needed to be spotted together a lot to be seen a realistic couple, and with paparazzi swarming the both of them at the moment, it wouldn’t be hard to strike up buzz.
“Uhhh probably just more social media stuff, get people hooked. We’re ‘like a drug’ to the fans according to my agent.” Phil shifted uncomfortably as he quoted his agent, clearly as uneasy about the way it sounded as Dan was. A drug? What did that even mean?
“Sooooooooooooo should we hang out like this again sometime? Soon?” Maybe Dan was just hoping he could spend more time with Phil, but he could paint it as part of the deal and nobody would ever have to know the difference.
“Yeah, I’ll text you.” Dan simply stared at Phil because how in the hell did he have his number? Did his publicist give it to him? This whole goddamn time they could’ve been texting each other? And they weren’t?
“That was a hint for you to give me your phone so I can put my number in it.” Phil said with a chuckle.
Oh.
Dan grabbed his cell off the little coffee table, the place he’d set it down when they first started playing mario kart, and stood to hand it to Phil, trying to keep his head down so his blush wasn’t too apparent.
Of course he wants your number, you have to communicate somehow. Don’t read too much into this, don’t read too much into this, don’t read too much-
“We still need to take that picture, ya know, to make us instagram official.” Phil said, startling Dan out of his thoughts and handing him back his phone. Phil really typed fast.
“Yeah, Shannon- er my manager- will kill me if we forget. Like actually behead me, like hide the guillotine.”
Phil just laughed at his weird attempt at humor, bless his little heart.
“Alright well let’s do this thing, I’d rather like you to keep your head attached to your body.”  
Dan tapped around on his phone a little bit and pulled up the camera and both boys positioned themselves so that the lighting was okay and they could both be seen effectively.
They took a few of them together, smiles bright with Phil peeking over Dans shoulder.
And then Phil did something unexpected.
He reached his long neck over and planted a soft lil kiss onto Dan’s cheek, right over his dimple and Dan, unsure of how to react, just kept snapping pictures. And once Phil felt they had a sufficient amount to pick from with the cheek kisses, he snuggled his face into Dan’s neck and Dan just kept taking those pics, his body wanting him to have a completely different reaction.
Holy fuck.
Just as fast as Phil had attached to himself Dan he was backed away, the smile not leaving his face though.
“Sorry, hope that wasn’t awkward.”
“Oh, no, you’re fine, we’re both actors right? Totally fine. I’ll go through and find the good ones and post them later. Gotta call my mum first or she’ll be livid, ya know how it is.”
Dan was rambling, trying to make the situation seem casual when really his insides were ready to explode out of his ass.
“I haven’t even told my mom about the whole gay thing. I’m not quite sure how she’ll take it, so I just kind of… put it off.”
All Dan wanted to do was hug the guy, all the dumb crush feelings forgotten as he remembered how rough things actually were for Phil right now. Publicly outed, not even getting a chance to tell his family. It sounded like hell, yet he was handling it like a champ. Almost too well.
“That’s no good. You’ve gotta talk to your mum, call her up. Throw down the facts. If she doesn’t like it then I’ll be your mum from now on, simple as that.”
Phil laughed a little at that last part, but overall seemed uncomfortable with the idea. Dan could definitely see why, it was terrifying to think that the one person that’s supposed to love you unconditionally could turn you away simply for being true to yourself, but he also knew that finding out your son was gay from the internet was 100 times worse than hearing it from him.
“We’ll see.”
“Call me up if you need emotional support, I know a thing or two about this whole ‘coming out’ bullshit.” It had been a daunting process for Dan, no one in his family understood what being bisexual even meant, he was constantly being asked if he was sure he wasn’t just gay or just straight but in time they learned and now’s in a pretty good place with his family.
“Thanks, I might take you up on that offer. Maybe.”
“You can’t run away from your problems.”
“I can try.” Phil said with a shrug.
“You’re a mess Lester.”
“Well when you get your shit together and post on instagram, I’ll officially be your mess.”
That stopped Dan in his tracks, unable to think of a witty remark to keep up their little game because surely that was flirting. This wasn’t just Dan making up little things in his head, anyone would interpret that as flirting, right? If this was just for the public Phil wouldn’t have said that inside the confidence of Dan’s home, where nobody was around to hear them.
Lucky for Dan, the buzzer went off moments later, covering his ass.
Dan quickly moved from the lounge, where they were standing, to his little foyer, and over to the intercom.
“Hello.” Dan said into the little microphone, realizing Phil had followed him into the room only after he felt a little tickle of breath on his neck.
“I’m here to pick up Phil Lester, and no sir, this isn’t a prank.”
Dan felt just a little embarrassed as he typed in the password to open the gate. He had only been asking if he was being pranked because he’d been told the wrong day, it was a valid question at the time, now it just felt a little silly.
“Alright, well, I’ll see you later I guess.” Dan said.
“Yeah, I’ll be looking out for your instagram post.”
“You better turn on notifications.”
“Oh, I will.”
Again, Dan had a blush on his face because of Phil.
The doorbell began ringing and before he opened the door, Dan looked over at Phil and said “don’t forget about your mum, Phil,”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Dan smiled at him and Phil smiled back and then Dan opened up the door and stepped out of the way so that Phil could get through. Standing there, outside, was the same muscular man that had been with him when Phil was left at Dan’s home less than 2 hours ago.
It didn’t feel like that little of time had passed, yet it truly had been less than 2 hours. Dan waved as Phil got into his car, making it seem like a bigger thing than it was for all the people with cameras lined up behind his iron gate which he was certain were taking pictures like mad.
After Phil’s car had pulled away, Dan went back inside and immediately flopped down onto the couch and clicked the tv off from when they were playing mario kart earlier.
Dan was in deep. So incredibly deep.
This little rendezvous only furthered Dan’s suspicion that he liked Phil, like a lot. He was just as fantastic in real life as Dan had imagined which was really just a big problem.
What’s one to do when they like their fake boyfriend? That’s just a whole new level of complicated that Dan didn’t want to delve into just yet. So he just put it off, the exact thing he’d advised Phil against doing.
God, he was in so so deep.

20 Questions Tag Game - Writers Edition
Tagged many eons ago by my fellow Cordonian Queen @i-choose-liam 🤗
1. When/what age did you start writing?
Umm I had a diary when I was 11, does that count? I've been writing to myself ever since.
2. What inspired you to start writing?
This is such a cringe answer, but it was a boy. I would daydream and swoon over him, and using that as inspiration to write my feelings (especially when it wasn't reciprocated). Eventually, I turned to writing to let my heart out. I've never posted anything cause I've only ever written for myself. I didn't feel that anyone else needed to see them.
3. Where and when does inspiration usually strike you?
I base my writing off personal experience. So, I legitimately get inspiration whenever something significant happens to me 😅 very vague, I know.
4. Where and when do you usually write? Morning? Late at night? On the bus? In bed?
Late at night, in the dark, looking out the window. I write on my phone, so I never need light.
5. Do you listen to music while writing? If so, what genre/playlist?
Usually scores. Let's be real, I listen to scores period. But the lack of lyrics definitely help me concentrate on actually writing and letting my mind wander.
6. Which category do you like best? Angst? Fluff? NSFW? Other?
Angst haha give me all the angst! Maybe cause I relate to it more than fluff.
7. Which category do you find most challenging to write?
NSFW? I won't even touch it.
8. If you had to pick your favourite Choices book, which one would it be and why?
TRR. Because Liam.
9. If your Choices LIs were real, which one (and only one) would you personally want to be with?
Have you seen my icon? My bio? Can we all agree we know the answer to this?
10. Do you share any physical characteristics with your Choices MCs? Pics/Selfies optional.
TRR MC maybe? We have the same face shape, skin tone, and hair. I will not post a selfie, but here is my bitmoji instead lol
Tumblr media
11. Which MC do you share the most personality traits with?
I don't think any? I would say I'm like PM Nadia though.
12. Which Choices character do you feel you have the best grasp of in terms of personality?
Oof, I don't know, maybe Maxwell. His kind of humor is my kind of humor. Kind of weird and kind of annoying? Hi hello, that's me 💁🏻
13. What’s your favourite Choices pairing to write for?
Heh the only one I've written for: Liam x MC
14. What is a pairing(s) you hope to start writing for?
Let me get myself sorted with posting all my Liam x MC drafts first, then we'll talk about who's next 😅
15. What do you hope to improve in your writing?
Not saying "just" all the time? I just can't help it!
16. Any pet peeves related to writing?
Haha my eye twitches whenever I read someone releases a breath they didn't know they were holding.
17. Are you inspired by any IRL experiences when you write? Care to share?
Alllllllll da time! That is the whole reason of why I write. It's a healing process for me. I'm considering posting one as a matter of fact! I just want to add a doodle, and it'll be done.
18. Is there any particular piece of work you consider to be your ultimate writing goal? Something so amazing you hope one day you’ll be up to that’s standard?
If I had to pick, it would be Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey or The Sun and Her Flowers. My addition of a doodle from the last question is heavily influenced by her books. Her writing style is so similar to mine, that it made me realize you don't need to write 2000 word essays or 500 page novels to inspire people. It can be small, it can be incomplete sentences, it can be anything in the world, and maybe if I'm lucky, someone will look at my writing the way I look at Rupi's.
19. Did/do you write for any other fandoms? If so which ones?
Nay. Liam is the only love of my pixel life.
20. In your spare time (when you’re not writing) what other hobbies do you pursue?
It changes all the time! So often that changing hobbies has become a hobby for me 🙈
It used to be nail art... if you dig through this blog deep enough, you'll find them. And then it was learning to play the piano, or a guitar, and so on and so on.
•••
I tag anybody that wants to do this! And then tag me when you do, so I can read it ☺️

It’s a bright and early morning on July 17, 2016, a day before my 19th birthday. I’m seated with my dad, mom, and little sister at Hartsfield Jackson Airport getting ready for a connecting flight from Atlanta to Dallas and then to Los Angeles. As we wait at the gate to board I’m dozing off in my chair from fatigue from the late-night packing and going through airport security in the earlier hours. Even though it seemed like I was passed out on the outside, on the inside I was filled with excitement. It would be my first time going to see the famed City of Angels. I’ve heard so many cool things about the city and seen it on TV and movies about a million times. Over the years I had became fascinated with the city because of how it has influenced and been represented in music. Like there must be some type of magic there or something right? Because of that, I’ve always wanted to go visit the west coast. But with that I also had a slight concerning feeling of doubt and wondered if I was hyping myself up too much. As we boarded the plane I wondered to myself “What if it's not all its cracked up to be? What if it’s just like any other city with a beach?” My question would soon be answered on the week-long journey of exploring Los Angeles.
Tumblr media
We landed right in the middle of the warm summer afternoon and there’s not a cloud in the sky. In fact, the forecast was pretty much like that the whole time we were there. It felt like a blessing having my birthday that week. Thanks to the time zone difference it felt as if barely any time went by at all during the long flight. Me and the family catch a cab from LAX straight to Santa Monica where our booked hotel would be. As my parents talked to the nice driver I went into my own world within my headphones during the ride. Everything was just as beautiful as I imagined, the city, the beaches, the weather, even the people. I couldn’t believe I was finally there. It almost felt unreal and blasting Logic’s “Like Woah” through my earbuds fitted perfectly with the vibe as if it were an intro to a movie. We arrive at Hotel Shangri La and soon after visiting our room we headed straight to the iconic Santa Monica Pier. I could feel the cool dry breeze from the Pacific Ocean hit my face as I look over the thousands of people enjoying their weekend at the beach. I could see what Kendrick meant when he said “money trees is the perfect place for shade” because he must’ve been talking about the towering palm trees you can find anywhere in the city.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After spending the week of sightseeing I had finally gotten a glimpse of the “magic” from the golden coast and could feel it in my soul. It's just something about that city that’s so engaging. It was like falling in love, something no other place or city has made me feel, not even home. It was like a temporary dream being away from problems and returning back to Atlanta was like coming back to reality. You can call me dramatic but I was genuinely upset coming back home and feeling the thick humidity hit my body. Although 2016 as a whole was a crappy year, that one week of July was the only shining light of it. Turning 19 was one of the best times of my life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I actually started using Spotify a couple days after the flight back home. I just wish I would’ve discovered this awesome streaming service a long time ago. Unfortunately, a couple months after the trip my phone died out of the blue and my dumbass didn’t realize I NEVER backed up most of the data. So basically half of the cool pictures I took are gone forever. Luckily I took pictures on Snapchat, as they are used in this post, and had the stories saved. Never have I felt so frustrated over a simple mistake. Not only did I have to spend a bunch of money to buy a new phone, I had lost some of those awesome captured moments from the best vacation I ever went on. Like Joey Bada$$ I felt so devastated but eventually I got over it. Growing older since then and looking back made me realize that everything happens for a reason. When I bought my new iPhone, which I still have today, the first thing I made sure of was to integrate all of the iCloud stuff with it so that mistake can never happen again. I hope to visit L.A. again by myself in the future, and I’ll make sure to recapture those same good moments.
Tumblr media
(sorry if some pics are unnecessarily big I couldn't figure out how to shrink them)
