Wrong Number 4

Steve was eternally grateful that he'd finally told Robin about Eddie. Because now, he could torture her with his outfit choices. Robin groaned and covered her eyes as Steve held out more shirts.

"What do you think? Stripes or no stripes?"

"Steeeeeeve", Robin whined.

"You're the one that told me stripes really shows off my chest."

"Is Eddie a tits guy? Or an ass man?"

Steve put the shirts back in the closet. "I don't know. I don't know Robin and the fact that this is a video call date makes it worse."

"Actually....actually it makes it better." Robin uncovered her face and grabbed Steve's shoulders. "You'll be on the phone the whole time!"

"Yes...We've established this", Steve said, not sure where she was going with this.

"I mean, if you're doing a video call, YOU control what Eddie sees."

Steve stared at her face for a long while as she simply emoted using her eyebrows. "Robin, no."

"Robin, yes. Come on. We're going shopping. You're waaay overdue for this. And I need a couple of things myself."

"Things going that well with Chrissy?", Steve asked right before Robin threw his shoes at him.

"What do you think I'm doing while you're on your date?", Robin grinned.

-----------------------

Eddie's excitement just got more and more intense with each day. By Wednesday he was vibrating any time his hands weren't occupied with something. He only hoped it didn't translate to his texts. Cool as a cucumber, that was his motto when it came to Steve. He couldn't come on too strong.

(9:45 am) Thinking about those beefy thighs (9:46 am) god i wanna wrap them around my head

Perfect. Smooth. And not too much.

At least he didn't think so at the time. About an hour later Eddie remembered that Steve was at work and possibly reading that text in a room full of prepubescents. And he knew he was going to reap what he sowed when Steve texted him later.

[12:01 pm] You are the ultimate distraction.

(12:02 pm) sry. i forgot you were at work

[12:03 pm] I don't think you are sorry. In fact, I think you need to be punished.

Eddie needed to get a job in coding because there was no emoji that properly conveyed the intensity of the 'boi-yoi-yoi-yoing' going on in his pants. How grateful he was that he didn't need to talk. Texting would cover any stuttering he was sure to do.

(12:04 pm) punishment? 😏 (12:04 pm) what kind of punishment?

[12:05 pm] See me after class, Mr. Munson.

God, four o'clock couldn't come fast enough. Eddie knew that'd be around the time Steve got home from work. He spent about an hour rolling around in bed before getting up, needing to distract himself. He wasn't due for work today, but he went in anyway to loiter.

"I can tell you're horny and I can tell you're just idling until you get your dick wet. Get lost, some of us have actual work to do", Jeff said.

Eddie let out a dramatic gasp. "Jeffery! Jeffords! Jeffaniel! Jeffanie!"

"Are you just going to sit there, making up full names for me or are you gonna get off your ass?"

"I'll replace all the boards and sweep out the alleys for the next two hours", Eddie said, holding his hands together like he was praying to his friend.

Jeff rubbed his chin as he considered it. "Only if you take this next party I have coming in."

Eddie looked at the group arriving. There had to be at least a dozen. And he just knew they only reserved one lane. They always only reserved one lane.

"You drive a hard bargain Jimothy."

"Not even close", Jeff crossed his arms. "And it's this or whatever ants in your pants you'll do if you're unoccupied."

Curse his friends for knowing him so well. Eddie held up his end of the deal, taking care of the party. Turned out it was a birthday party (happy 14th Ashton). But two hours later, the time had passed and Eddie went back home. He still had an hour to spare (he didn't want to leave Steve waiting), so he spent the rest of the time coming up with some ideas for their date in a few days.

[4:04 pm] Are you home?

(4:05 pm) At home and awaiting orders gorgeous (4:05 pm) Have I been a bad boy Mr. Harrington?

Eddie's phone rang and he picked it up as he crashed onto his bed. He knew Steve could hear it when he laughed on the other end.

"You need to keep a tighter lid on those urges. It was a lucky break that all the kids were focused on their dishes that they didn't see the face I made."

"Truly, my bad Stevie. But I can't help what you do to me."

Steve chuckled. "Not even a little?"

"Not one bit. Okay, maybe a little bit. The truth is, I could've said a lot more, but I was holding back."

"Really now? And what would you have said if you weren't holding back?"

Eddie could hear something that sounded like movement in a bed. Steve was getting comfortable too. He thought about the picture he had saved, of Steve's lower body in those shorts. He had been laying in bed then too. Eddie let his mind wander for a bit. What he'd do if Steve were really in bed beside him...

"Baby if you were here right now, I'd have my hands all over you. You'd think I was an octopus."

"Tell me where you'd touch me first", Steve said.

"Well I'm still thinkin' of those legs of yours. You like massages, Stevie? I could rub you down all day."

Steve imagined Eddie digging his fingers into his muscles. That would really hit the spot, especially after a workout. "Mmm, and then?"

"And then I'd wrap them around my head, like I said. I saw what you were packin' in those shorts, baby. I would love to get my mouth on you."

Eddie heard Steve let out a soft moan and he definitely heard a zipper and some shifting. God, the image of Steve stroking himself... Eddie unzipped his pants too, palming at himself while the other hand kept an ever tightening hold on the phone.

"Eddieee..."

"I wanna hear everything, baby. I'm working so hard sucking you off, I deserve to know how good I'm making you feel."

"So good, uh", Steve let out a small breath at the end.

"Yeah? I haven't even told you how I'd rock your world yet", Eddie grinned.

"I just know...You're so good with your mouth."

"You like the way I lick you up and down? How I kiss that beautiful tip?" Eddie knew he had a dick just as handsome as the rest of him, never mind that he had yet to see Steve's whole face yet. His hand pumped up and down as he envisioned the weight of Steve in his mouth. He thought about getting drunk on that taste.

Eddie groaned and his eyes fluttered close, his mouth moving faster than his brain. "Do you shave Steve?"

"....No...is that a problem?"

"Ohh it's the opposite of a problem babe. I bet you got a thick bush. I'd sink all the way down, bury my nose in it while you're fucking my throat."

Steve let out the most delicious sound as he came and Eddie wasn't too far behind. It was like he was there, hairs coarse and curly rough against his skin while Steve moaned right into his ear.

"Mmm", Steve hummed. "I know you look good now. My cum dripping off your lips."

"I'd swallow it all, sweetness. I wouldn't waste a single drop." He would take all that Steve gave him and then some. He was a greedy man.

"I know you wouldn't. I don't allow anything to go to waste in my classroom. Have you learned your lesson, Mr. Munson?"

"Maaaybeee. I might need another lesson, Mr. Harrington. Say, this Friday, at eight?", Eddie teased.

"I suppose you'll need more help studying. Don't be late, mister."

-----------------------------

For once, Steve didn't linger after work. He made sure the kids cleaned up every last dish before the last period even ended. He even let them go a minute and a half before the bell. When Steve left, he went the back way to avoid most of the other teachers and that pre-weekend conversation. He got home right away and started getting ready. Robin had her own date tonight which meant he had limited time to get her help and last minute input.

When she got home from work, the apartment was a flurry of activity between them.

"Steve, I need the blow dryer!"

"Wait! I'm almost done!"

They both crashed into each other's spaces as they tried using the one bathroom mirror.

"Why can't you use your stupid vanity mirror?", Robin asked.

"That mirror is just for my hair and it's too small."

Robin gave him a side eye. "Is that my eyeliner?"

"Is that my face cream?"

For some reason, Robin insisted on getting dressed in his room, which meant at some points their outfits got switched around and they had to re-dress. The pandemonium finally quieted when Robin left for her date and Steve was at last alone for his. It was at 8:00 sharp that Eddie sent a text.

(8:00 pm) Knock knock 😙

Steve smiled as he started a video call. His heart fluttered at the thought of finally seeing Eddie's full face. So imagine his surprise when he was instead met with a hand that had a face drawn on it. And what could only be Eddie doing a deeper, character voice.

"Hello my love. Are you ready for the romancing tonight? I hope I get lucky, ehehehehe."

To which Steve couldn't help but burst out in laughter. Any nerves he might've had flew away.

"Oh, I don't know. I'm a proper young man. I don't think I could court with someone who was so...handsy."

"I wouldn't lay a finger on you without your permission, lovely. But maybe a few smooches. Muahmuahmuah!" Eddie's hand attacked his phone's camera with kisses and Steve giggled like it was actually touching him.

As his laughing fit subsided, only then did Eddie reveal his face. He took Steve's breath away. He was literally speechless and just stood there staring, which made Eddie start to squirm a little.

"You tryina turn me to stone, Medusa?", Eddie joked.

"Sorry!", Steve apologized when he realized he had been staring. "You just...you look really nice Eddie."

"You don't look too bad yourself, handsome", Eddie smiled.

That was putting it lightly. For the both of them really. Steve felt like he was talking to the perfect man. Eddie felt like Steve had walked right out of his wet dreams.

"So, what did you order?", Steve asked as he sat down at his table. He made sure his phone was angled that it only showed him from the waist up. Robin had the bright idea that since he could control what Eddie saw, he could wear whatever he wanted under the line of sight.

He was currently wearing a blue and white striped polo shirt. And beneath that, some lacy, navy blue panties. Maybe Eddie would find out, maybe he wouldn't. Steve had his phone on the table, propped up against some books.

"I ordered the Munson special. A grilled cheese with potato soup."

"Oh, that's a Munson special, hm?"

"Damn straight. Tomato soup is still a classic, but I'd die for a potato. What'd you get?"

"I have some leftover pasta that I just added some mushrooms too. Nothing too fancy."

"Unless it's one of those truffles", Eddie pointed out.

Steve rolled his eyes as he twirled his fork. "Truffles? On a teacher's salary?"

"Hey, you could be secretly rich."

"Oh if I win the lottery, there will be signs."

"Like 5th graders using authentic truffles", Eddie nodded to himself.

They kept talking throughout their dinner and then took each other to their sinks to wash the dishes together. Eddie talked more about his friends. Some of which he worked with and the band he was in. Steve wasn't super into metal, but he liked it enough to be interested in whatever Eddie did.

When they had talked about their date night and discussed their options, they decided on dinner and a movie. Once the dishes were cleaned, Steve took Eddie over to the living room and he sat down between the coffee table and propped him against another set of books as they both queued up the movie on their ends.

"You know it's been a really long time since I've seen this movie", Steve said. "I think I was literally a kid."

"There was a time when this was literally my religion", Eddie said as Quest for Camelot started to play.

Steve knew Eddie was into Dungeons & Dragons, so him being in love with a fantasy movie made total sense.

"Did you have a crush on Garrett when you were a kid?", Steve asked, later during the movie.

"'Did'? I'd still let him use that staff on me six ways to Sunday!"

Steve laughed and he was coming to realize he laughed with Eddie much more than any of his dates in a long while.

"I'm gonna go grab a drink", Steve said as he got up. He nearly asked Eddie if he wanted something. It really was like he was right there with him. Steve grabbed a soda and then came back, sitting down in his spot again when he saw Eddie's expression.

He was silent, which was rare.

His eyes were bulging out of his head and his hand was over his mouth.

Steve was about to ask what was wrong when Eddie's eyes flicked down and then Steve got it. He had stood up. In full view of his phone. And then turned to go into the kitchen.

Eddie had gotten a first rate view of his panties.

𝐺𝑌𝐴𝐿 𝑌𝑂𝑈 𝐴 𝑊𝐴𝐿𝐾𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝑻𝑹𝑶𝑷𝑯𝒀 # !

𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠⤷ there is like zero Caribbean representation in fics so you know ya girl has try to fix that shit. Caribbean girls on top🕺🏽 so it’s not right that we ain’t got shit. please reblog and lmk if y’all like this.

𝑠𝑦𝑛𝑜𝑝𝑠𝑖𝑠⤷ 𝐸𝑟𝑒𝑛 𝑌𝑒𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎 𝐶𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑. 𝐸𝑟𝑒𝑛 𝑌𝑒𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑥 𝐶𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑛! 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟

since the night you and eren met at a party you’ve basically been inseparable since. you two have been together for a while now and it’s safe to say you guys are the IT couple.

lmfaoo at first when your friends would catch you simping they’d be like “what happens to gazah forever” and start laughing. But they mean well it’s all jokes they like seeing you and eren so happy with each other.

a few people thought it wouldn’t last that long, thinking he wouldn’t be able to handle you. BUT BABYY were there wrong ! you two have a good balance in your relationship, your energies align so well.

there’s no getting between you two. “my man tie me, I’m on him badd”

you were a little nervous at fist to let him meet your family, you know they can be a little judgmental sometimes but you weren’t too worried. Everything went really good when he met the fam. Your male relatives were a bit over protective but you can’t blame them too much, you’ll always be their baby.

At the family events he eats his weight in food lmfaoo. He’s a big fan of rotis, jerk chicken with white rice, green bananas and salt fish, as well as chutney. It melted your heart to see him enjoying traditional foods.

this man lives to see you dance, from the first grind he got at that party, he’s been hooked since. He’s actually got really good rhythm. So he’s great at any party, whether it’s holding onto your waist slow dancing with you singing the lyrics “ gyal, mi wan’ if hold yuh put me arms right around yuh” in his ear.

this one time you brought him to a family gathering and he danced western with the older ladies of the family, your grandma love him sm, he even calls her ma or mum.

this man can really turn tf up. like REALLY turn TF up. for example when you two are at a Bacchanal all his composure flies out the widow. But he never lets other girls try to dance with him and you do the same when it comes to other men.

lemme tell youuu, there’s a video of you two dirty dancing to vybez kartel at the fette. that shit was wildd like giving him mad fast wine and him positioning you with his hands on your lower back watching your movements

He loves when you make him breakfast, his favorite thing that you make him is fried bakes and cocoa tea. It’s like his comfort food at this point.

he loves hearing all the folklore stories, they’re so fascinating to him. he was low-key kinda scared when you told him you’d send a dupply after him as a joke.

He likes trying Caribbean snacks, he likes half frozen chubby and icelollies.

A DOMINOS FIEND !! your uncles and him were playing together and that shit was heateddd. He smacks the dominos hard asll lmfao. Your uncles lowkey started respecting him more after he won a few games.

He lovesss playing football in the rain with your cousins. your grandma puts oil in the middle of the head to make sure he doesn’t get sick.

LATE NIGHT DRIVES ARE A VIBEE. The two of you have this long ass playlist that you guys bump while driving in the middle of the night with the roof down.

Play from 0:45 before reading next slide

it’s the middle of the night and the two of you are speeding through the mostly empty streets with cold Heineken’s screaming the lyrics to the songs in you guy’s playlists. “ LONGING FOR MY BABY TO LOVE ME MOREE, WHAT AM I LONGING FOR? BABYLON RELEASE THE CURE” !

he sings you all of the old school love songs

he loves and appreciates you so freaking much, you’re the best thing in his life, and he lets everyone know it. you two are such a good couple.

Tony’s Childhood. Part 1: Identifying facts

In the MCU, Tony sometimes acts like a kid. There is a reason behind every behavior, so I wondered what it was like for him when he was a real kid.

So, the questions of the day: what do we know about Tony's childhood? Did he have one? And, most importantly, how did it affect him?

Let’s first list what we know from the movies:

At age 4 Tony built his first circuit board (IM1)

At age 6 built his first engine (IM1)

Was sent to a boarding school by Howard (IM2)

Cracked the Pentagon’s firewall in high school on a dare (AoU)

Had a nanny until the age of 14 (IM3)

Went to college at 14 (IM1)

Built Dum-E and U when he was there (IM1)

At 17 graduated summa cum laude from MIT (IM1)

Continued his education until his parents’ death (CW)

Tony’s genius gave him two things: the brain and the pain. And by the pain, I mean that instead of interacting and bonding with his parents, enjoying life, playing, having fun, making friends, taking care of pets, and all the other things children do to gradually prepare for adulthood and grow up "healthy", he got this list of achievements. That doesn’t make a person normal.

Parents

We know his relationship with Howard was complicated. Howard loved him in his own way. He had too many things to do to be a good father: SI, S.H.I.E.L.D., scientific projects, trying to build a better future with clean energy, etc. All good, except when you want your child to love you back. Especially if in the tiny amount of time you spend with him, you don’t show him any signs of affection.

What do we know about Maria? Her name, what she looked like, that she played the piano, and died at Winter Soldier’s hand on Dec 16, 1991. That’s it. She didn’t spend much time with Tony either. Remember, he even had a nanny, instead of a mother. Tony's words about her showed that he loved her, but he didn't talk much about her. Because she wasn’t present in his life enough. Why? Because…

School

Howard sent Tony to a boarding school.

Here’s in the S.H.I.E.L.D.s file we have this information about the school:

“Phillips Academy, Andover, MA 1977-1984”

This means he was there from age 7 to 14. Howard sent him to a boarding school when he was SEVEN.

Phillips Academy Andover serves grades 9-12 only (it is a college preparatory school). Thus, either this is a mistake by the creators of the film/file, or Tony, due to his genius, became an exception. Since the early age he was already at school was also mentioned in IM2 tie-in comics, and in Earth-616 that was also 7, we can mark 1977-1984 as valid.

Think about it again: Tony was sent to boarding school in another state when he was 7 years old. He spent another 7 years there, alone, among high school-aged teenagers. No parents around, no peers.

For example, even Hogwarts accepts 11-year-old children, and they live with their peers. Now imagine Harry Potter, at the age of 7, is thrown into a dorm with 7th-year students and locked there. Doesn’t make a person normal either, does it?

Nannies and Jarvis

Since Tony was at the boarding school, there are two options for how he could have a nanny (mentioned in IM3) and spend time with Edwin Jarvis:

1) He was at the boarding school with a nanny. There is almost no possibility that the nanny was Edwin Jarvis because Jarvis was Howard’s butler and had other responsibilities.

2) He had a nanny at home in the summer and during short school breaks. In this case, his parents couldn’t even give him this little of their precious time.

In any case, he could only see Jarvis at home, a few months a year at most.

Note: There is a date error in IM3, stating Tony was 14 in 1983. This is clearly an error and we can omit this detail.

Bullying

Remember this dialog between Tony and Harley in IM3?

0:45:15 – Harley asks him how he knew he was being bullied at school. Tony doesn't answer. He gives him a non-lethal flash thing to "discourage bullying."

We see that Tony knew exactly what was going on with Harley at school. Because that’s exactly what happened to him there. Harley reminded him of himself. Brilliant kid with no friends and practically no parents. He was bullied by 9th-12th graders.

If he had a nanny with him at the school, that probably made things even worse. He would be bullied because he has a nanny, and despite he has one to look after him.

In Part 2 we will discuss how all this affected him. Stay tuned.

hey idk how to tell u this but the big cliffhanger in s1 isn’t the crew being separated it’s stede going out to find ed when ed has fallen so deep into heartbreak and self-loathing that he’s destroyed stede’s ship and split up their crew. the cliffhanger is about “how will ed and stede fix their relationship after stede broke ed’s heart and ed went off the deep end?”

bc what’s going on with the crew is not the main storyline. the main storyline is the romance between ed and stede, djenks has said this many times. the main plotline is the development of ed and stede’s relationship. the show didn’t “shove most of the characters into 1 minute scenes between much longer gentlebeard arcs” in 2.04, the crew was just part of the B plot that episode, which is to be expected because they are all side characters who are always in B or C plots if they’re not part of the plot with the main characters (ed and stede). the main A plot of 2.04 is ed and stede making up now that they’ve finally been reunited, and the show develops this storyline in a rewrite/adaptation/homage to the play who’s afraid of virginia woolfe.

it’s fine if u don’t like gentlebeard or if your main enjoyment from the show is izzy/the crew, but if that’s the case for you then unfortunately you’re always have a harder time enjoying ofmd bc the writing in the show is always going to prioritize gentlebeard over the other characters. the crew reuniting was always going to be much less important than ed and stede reuniting and making up. that’s what david jenkins meant when he said “the show is the relationship.”

Heyo! I see my meme has breached the side of ofmd tumblr I usually interact with, which is really cool! Thanks for stopping by haha

I think your response is so emblematic of the shift the show went thru from season 1 to season 2- namely, that season 1 was an ensemble show and season 2 was not. Stede was the main character, yes, and he got more backstory and focus than a lot of the crew, but the story of the show in s1 was that it was a bunch of people with conflicting personalities shoved onto a boat together. Stede’s the center, but every other character gets focus as well. This show, by djenks own admission, was not originally intended to be a rom-com romance between stede and ed. He said that he didn’t commit to actually have them be together until filming season 1 episode 6- more than halfway thru the story of the first season, and that it was mainly due to rhys and taika’s acting that made him change it from an unrequited love to a relationship. So while the story is a lot about gentlebeard, saying that every other character is secondary to them and their romance isnt true.

I think a great example to bring up would be season 1 episode 7, the episode that solidifies (via lucius) that yes, this is happening. This is a very relationship heavy episode, but crucially gb isn’t the only focus.

Here's a breakdown: we start w a 1:00 gb scene, then roach comes in asking about the oranges, which leads to a 2:00 scene w the whole crew that sets up the episodes plot (swede has scurvy, we need to get more oranges). Jim protests going to st augustine, which is followed by a 1:00 scene between jim and olu, including a jim flashback. Stede and lucius return with the treasure map, there’s 1:30 more of the whole crew, then we go into the captains cabin for 1:00 of stede, ed, and lucius. 6 minutes into the ep flashes to the crew on land, a 0:50 conversation between jim and olu, then 2:00 of the whole crew, ending then nana invites them all to eat some cake at 8:15. We then go to stede, lucius, and ed in the marketplace until the 9 minute mark (abt 0:45), then back to the church where olu and jim talk to nana for 1:15, including more jim flashbacks. Back to the adventure w stede ed and lucius, which is 2 scenes back to back, totally about 3:00 (the “oh my god this is happening” scene). Then back to the church for jim olu and nana, a 1:00 jim flashback inside a 3:00 scene. Then back to the captains and lucius for 1:30, then to jim and olu, more jim flashback, then the a and b plots converge at the 2:30 mark when jim sees stede digging up their tree. Stede, ed, and lucius exit the scene after 1:30, jim and olu have a conversation for another 1:00. We see the crew leaving, then olu and nana talk, which all takes 2:00. Back on the boat, ed and stede become co-captains in a 0:45 scene, then the final 1:30 of the ep is izzy at jackie’s with 1:30 credits

Gentlebeard: 9:00, whole crew: 5:30, Jim and Olu: 11:35, Izzy: 1:30, credits: 1:30

I would say that s1e7 is the most overtly gb episode before the kiss in s1e9. But as you can see, it’s not just gb. There’s a lot of focus on jim, who gets multiple filmed flashbacks, there’s scenes w jim, olu, and nana, there’s scenes of the whole crew together, stede and ed are really only oncscreen together for abt 9 minutes- not even 1 third of the episode. And this is the ep that says directly to the audience “yes, they have a romance building”. I’m not trying to say w this that every member of the crew needs to b given equal screentime, bc that didn’t happen here obv, but everyone is doing something, and the plot is moving forward propelled by more than just the gb relationship.

Now this is very much changed in season 2.

S2e4 starts with 0:20 of stede waking ed up, then 0:45 of stede and the crew, 0:30 of ed and buttons, izzy’s w the unicorn for 1:00. The crew kick ed off the boat in a 1:15 scene. Now at the 2:25 mark we get to the plots splitting. Ed has a 1:15 scene on land, 0:45 is spent talking to a bunny. Stede and buttons find anne and mary’s antique store after 0:45 of walking. The scene in the antique porch is 2:15. Back to the revenge where there’s a 1:00 scene where wee john, roach, and pete talk about how the kraken crew, lucius, and izzy are different, and the kraken crew thinks they’re plotting to kill them. Already we go back to anne and mary’s where theres various conversations for 3:00. We go back to the revenge for a 0:45 scene where the revenge crew scare the kraken crew and lucius by trying to surprise them. Back to land, where anne and stede and mary and ed talk for 2:00. Back to the revenge for a 1:45 scene w the crews, izzy enters at the 1:00 mark and then crawls away. Well that’s that, we go back to the dinner on land for 1:00, then ed storms out and he and stede have a conversation on the couch for 2:15. Anne and mary reenter, followed by a 3:00 argument that ends with anne burning down the house and they don’t kiss for some reason. We have a 0:20 scene of the crew preparing the unicorn leg, izzy is in his room and received the leg in a 0:40 scene, and well it’s been a whole minute on the revenge, time to go back to ed and stede for 1:00, ed and buttons talk end when buttons turns into a seagull after 1:30. Ed and stede talk for 0:30, and then we end w izzy the new unicorn for 0:45. Credits are again 1:30.

Gentlebeard: 19:50, whole crew: 5:05, Izzy: 3:10, credits: 1:30

To illustrate my point, i made some graphs

You don’t even have to think very hard to see the change in distribution of screentime season 1 vs season 2. And i’d argue that this is absolutely to the show’s detriment, because that ensemble cast is given way less time to shine, grow, or even speak. Notice how for the second chart there isn’t a jim and olu section? Yea that’s cause Jim has 10 lines this whole episode, and Olu has 5. Two characters, whose relationship, backstory, and plot takes up more screentime than gentlebeard’s in season 1, have a combined 15 lines between them, only 4 of which are longer than 1 sentence- 2 for jim, 2 for olu, and those lines are two sentences long. god bless us every one.

I get that there’s a large subset of the ofmd fandom that only cares abt ed and stede. I get that that’s how u find enjoyment in the show, and u know what? All the power to u. I’m not saying stop liking the show, stop liking gentlebeard, stop caring abt these characters. I don’t like gentlebeard, but i used to, and i remember really really loving ed and stede and their relationship in season 1. That changed in season 2 because of ed’s abusive actions and stede pivoting from being an independent character to just basically following whatever ed says (but that’s a story for another day).

But let’s be honest with each other, and with ourselves: season 1 was an ensemble show. Season 2 narrowed its focus to gentlebeard, while also making it (for some people) harder to like. That’s why a lot of people (myself included) didn’t like season 2 as much as season 1.

Also, just to focus back in on the original issue, the meme was not about gentlebeard. It was about Anne and Mary. And there is literally no way you can convince me that they were used as well as they could have been, or that they were implemented into the story in a smart, necessary, or even respectful way.

Because i'm a nice person, i made a brand new updated meme just for u, anon!

:-)

Secrets of the pitch

A bit of backstory first

Me and Lucy have known each other since she played for Sunderland and I played for Watford. We met when she was 19 and I was 17 we didn't get to gather until I was 20 and she was 22 by that time, she was playing for Liverpool and I was playing for Manchester City. We have been together since then, and now we are playing at Barcelona. That's all the back story.

20 August 2023

We were in a World Cup final for the first time ever. We were on the bus on our way to the stadium. It's 9:00 a.m. and kick-off is at 11:00 a.m. I'm sitting next to Lucy she was watching some TV show. One of the Barc girls recommended I have my head laid on her shoulder, her head on top of mine, and we stayed like that for the rest of the ride. Most of the girls were too nervous to make jokes or sing, so the bus is pretty quiet which isn't normal.

The bus stops. We all get off, go to the changing room, and look around for a bit. It's time to find out who is in the starting 11. We all sit in our cubicles and wait for her to tell us who is in. The starting 11

She opens a folded piece of paper and starts to say the names "Mary, Millie, Alex, Rachel, Kira, Georgia, Y/N, Lauren, Alessia, Lucy, and Jess. We will be playing in a 3-4-1-2 format, and everyone else is on the bench. Good luck, girls. You have about an hour before warm-ups, so do what you want.

Skip an hour

We got changed into our training kits and went to warm up. There are people in the stadium already. I look around for a second and go and stretch. After we are done I jog in and get changed. After the ones on the bench go out and sit in their seats, we line up at 10:45. We are just waiting. Now I rub my knee because it started to hurt. The Spanish team comes out and lines up. I look at the players as they walk past.

I noticed a few faces I recognize from Barca. At 10:55, we went out and did our national anthems and got ready for the whistle at 11:02.

Commentator

SAVE! A long bronze throw-in causes some issues inside the Spain area, with a loose ball falling for Hemp. The England striker drills a low left-footed strike towards the bottom-right corner, where Coll saves the first chance of the game with ease.

The goalkeeper passes the ball to Banmati. We run, and Lucy gets the ball. She's trapped by Spanish plays. One gets the ball from her and passes to Olga Carmona. Garcia she runs it's like slow motion. She pulls her foot back and drives it in to the ball. Mary was too late the net ripples.

Half time comes quick. Spain 1 England 0

Me Alessia Rachel out, Lauren James Chloe Kelly and Ella Toon in

Nothing more happens other than Lauren Hemp getting a yellow, a penalty to Spain, which Mary saves, and another yellow given out to a Spanish player at 12:59.

1 minute left, there was no possible way to win we had lost the World Cup

————————————————————————————

Right this is only part 1 part 2 will be out sometime in the next 2 weeks

Slasher U 1-Year State of the Union / Unholy Census!

Holy fucking shit we're coming along towards the 1-year anniversary of the release of the Slasher U Act 1 alpha!! We've come SO FUCKING FAR. Sawyer wasn't even a romanceable option back in the day! As of April 27th, it'll be Slasher U's first ever anniversary!

Mostly, I am SO FUCKING GRATEFUL that you all came along on the adventure to make my weird horny dating RPG a smash fucking hit!! Taking narrative seriously in dating/adult games was kind of my entire M.O (is?? mods??) and I am SO GRATEFUL Y'ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO HERE lmao

THE BIG NUMBERS

As of 11:21 AM EST on 3/23/24, Slasher U: Act 1 has sold 6,100 copies across Steam & itch.io (Not including the copies sold as part of Games for Gaza that weren't redeemed/downloaded, so this only counts people who actually downloaded or bought the game!). This is obviously BEYOND MY WILDEST FUCKING DREAMS AND I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH HOLY SHIT. I didn't even realize it until I added it all together. (On top of this, we sold several fucking tens of thousands of games for Games for Gaza!! Hell yeah!)

For my fellow solo devs out there, this comes to Slasher U making a total of about $6,000 + $2,000 net USD through sales (the former) and crowdfunding (the latter, for Slasher U: Act 2) over the last 11ish months!! The game started off being free for the first 6ish months, then went to $6.69 for the Beta (with dong! whoa!!), and now at its full size, stands at a good ol' $14.99 for 15 hours of primo datin' sim!

This is objectively the most money I've ever made off of anything I've developed in my entire life, and paid my whole ass rent for the entire year, so THANK YOU HOLY SHIT. According to Steam, most indie games barely break $1k in total, so I am AGOG. FUCKING AGOG. THANK YOU FOR LIKING MY GAME AND LETTING ME MAKE MORE VIA NOT DYING FROM CAPITALISM

The average review score, across 89 reviews on itch.io, remains 4.9 out of 5 stars, and we're rocking a 93% Positive on Steam!!

THE UNHOLY CENSUS

The best part of Slasher U is, as I always say, THE STUDENT DISEMBODY!! Slasher U will always be a place where everything is gay and trans as fuck (although I'm also proud of writing my cishet storylines too :V /lh)! I knew y'all were gay (hello fellow gays) but I did not realize the QUEER FUCKING FORCE THE STUDENT DISEMBODY IS

Here's the demographics of Slasher U players as taken from Tumblr polls (that's a skewed sample size of about 280, so grain of salt here for the homo website for queers):

92.6% of you ID as queer (see below for the breakdown!) | 7.4% of you ID as straight

This fictional horror movie campus is: 48.5% bi/pan, 16.2% gay/mlm, 10.3% lesbian/wlw, 10.3% ace (oo tie!), 7.4% queer but not defined as above, and 7.4% straight!

61.9% of you ID as trans/not cis | 23.8% of you ID as cis | 14.3% of you ID as neither trans nor cis

46.8% of you are between 22-26 | 32.3% of you are between 18-21 | 16.1% of you are between 27-32 | 4.8% of you are between 32-45 | 0% of you are older than 45 (sample size I am guessing lol)

For 14.6% of you, Slasher U was the very first dating sim you've ever played (!). For 3.8% of you, Slasher U was the first indie game you've ever played (holy fucking shit!!! this is an actual absolute honor)

76.7% of you instinctively Road Runner away from Melyssa at the fountain in Act 1 | 23.3% let the Melyssa tsunami arrive at you

A FINAL WORD (FOR NOW) ON MAKIN' VIDJEE GAEMS

You should totally do it.

No, okay, but for real, I started working in games professionally in 2009 (yeah yeah i'm old. i am 32 and i am dying and they're coming for me in the corpse wagon etc) and I burned out in 2016 and came back two years ago with THIS THING and I can tell you RIGHT FUCKIN' NOW that, if you have ever wanted to make a game and the big guys aren't gonna do it, grab yourself and/or some friends and fuckin' make a video game. I have worked for a bunch of AA and mobile companies and I can tell you right the fuck now that this is the most fulfilling experience I have ever had writing a video game. I taught myself programming logic to make this thing! And sound design! I fucking learned to animate sprite sheets!! YOU CAN ALSO DO IT given the time and energy (pace yourself don't die)! And there won't be any execs around to tell you your weird niche game won't sell!! BECAUSE IT FUCKING WILL

Anyway, my entire career as a game designer, nobody let me write shit for them. You don't need permission to make stuff or write stuff. If you write it, they will fuckin' come, Field of Dreams style (also don't forget to tell everyone you made stuff and share it around. super key here. lmao). Turns out writing is all about sharing yourself with people, and who knows, you might just find that a fuckton of people ACTUALLY relate to you. (And that you're a pretty good writer. Which you knew. Yes, you. I am mixing metaphors and pointing to myself AND you now.)

xoxoxoxooxoxox,

Professor Plutonium

felix x reader (ft. jisung, changbin, and hyunjin) 18+ only, minors dni themes: explicit, embarrassment, mention of voyeurism, masturbation

[10:45] His face was getting hot. Every time a notification came down, he sweats a little more.

While you did like to play with him, you were usually nicer than this. Nice enough not to rile him up with his friends surrounding him. However, you were losing patience. You’d hung out with Jisung, Changbin, and Hyunjin for hours now with no sign of them leaving. Usually, you loved that but you specifically told him not to bring them today. It was a whole day of waiting for Felix to come because you woke up, particularly horny.

It was fine at first. The good company of your friends a welcome distraction.

Until it wasn’t.

Jisung decided to show you the show he’s been raving about. You weren’t bored per se but with each time he pressed 'next episode', you grew more agitated. With less chatter, there was less distraction, less distraction meant you were going to let Felix know just how you felt.

The first text wasn’t bad. Harmless honestly.

The second went from 0-50

The third….50 to 3000

You’d gone to the bathroom and recorded a video. It was you fingering yourself on the edge of the counter. You made sure to let him glimpse your face a few times. Thoroughly needy. He turned so red he thought he would start whistling like a kettle.

The corner chair he’d chosen protected the lewd sight from your friends but you were caring less and less anyway.

It was right at the sixth episode that you stood up with a groan.

“Ok everyone out. I’m going to fuck Felix.”

It’s silent as hell.

Finally, Changbin says “W-What?”

You turned to him with a straight face. “You heard what I said. Unless you’re going to watch, leave. Now.”

Felix is sure he’ll be colored permanently deep red now but you don’t care. You keep your eyes on him as the others leave, continuously taking curious glances back. You hear Hyunjin ask “Is staying really an option?” as Jisung pushes him before the door shuts.

Despite his flustered state, he says “If you wanted me to fuck you that much you coul-”

“No no you didn’t hear me, Lix.” You lean down, a hand on each arm rest, caging him in. “I’m going to fuck you. ”

Those sweet eyes are blown wide now. “Up.” You say, gesturing to the room with a nod before leading the way. He scrambles up quickly, nearly running into you as you stop and look back. “And if you three are going to stay you need to be back here too in the next minute.”

Felix is confused by your words until he looks back. Slowly, three heads poke around the wall to the entryway.

Maybe he should’ve sent them home earlier.

#felix smut #felix x reader #skz smut #stray kids smut #stray kids x reader #jisung smut #changbin smut #hyunjin smut #jisung x reader #changbin x reader #hyunjin x reader

They all suddenly land through a Synod door.

Brennan: "Immediately outside of Seacaster Manor, at the time 10 seconds prior to all of you going through the portal, except Adaine, who at this time was already in Oodles of Strudel working her shift. So you have 10 seconds to talk to your former selves before they jump."

Brennan: "Conor Counterspell threw a staff through the clock to get all of you out of there before whatever happened, happened. Cassandra is back in that fight. In other words...In other words, Conor Counterspell has just saved all of you from whatever was just about to happen in the wizards' mall."

Zac: "Wait, is Adaine still there?"

Brennan: "Nope"

Zac: "Okay."

Brennan: "Anyone can make an arcana check to understand time loops" 😭✋

The WAY BRENNAN SAYS IT! SKAKXKSKXW

Emily gets a NAT20! 😭✋ Lou gets a NAT1! 😭💀

It's so funny how Fig is cursed this season but Emily really got some extremely poetic rolls in this episode! 😭✋

Fig: "What are you guys talking about? Wait, I get it!" 😂🤣💀

Brennan: "Fig. All of those events are going to unfold in there, leading back to this moment with you guys coming out through here, with the exception of, as you guys all jumped through there, in this version of events, you got yelled at briefly and confusingly by six of you before jumping in there and having this exact encounter."

Murph: "Ok...so...did we win?"

Bro! This part was so hard for me to process! 😭✋ Just the fact that they lost the battle was just- SO INSANE FOR ME! 😭✋ LIKE HUH?! WHAT?! 😭✋

My confusion was the same as Murph's here fr! Asking like "Wait...so...did they win?"

But no! As a matter of fact, they lost! 😭✋ And they had to have Conor Counterspell save them from whatever was about to happen in that mall!!!! 😭😭✋✋

CRYING, SCREAMING, WEEPING, SHAKING! 😭✋🥲

November 3, 2023 -

Jk goes live! I do think it’s plausible someone was in his apartment during his live, and off camera. I’ll break down why I believe that in this piece. But I do want to disclaim this as speculative, so I’ll leave timestamps and you can decide if someone is there and if so, who you think it is.

Right at the start of his live, Jk abruptly glances off camera on his right. While I don’t hear any noises at this time, I found his abrupt glance interesting to note, since he was just facing the camera and telling listeners he’s back with his solo debut album “Golden.” Though there could be times he’s just instinctively glancing, or looking at the screen as he shares his tracks from “Golden,” it does seem like he periodically glances towards someone off camera throughout his live (or sometimes he glances at the monitor but then gazes at something / someone else). Some instances are noted below (not all encompassing):

1:43

left and right at 2:15-2:17

2:55

3:20

4:49

Prolonged glance 6:03-6:08

7:49-7:51

9:41, it seems as if he glances as the monitor then slightly shifts his gaze to something else, before looking back at the monitor

13:20-13:24

13:45-13:55, briefly at 13:59

39:30

You get the idea! And again, sometimes he may be looking at the monitor, but it does seem like at times he’s glancing at something or someone else.

Timestamp 1:43, 2:55, 4:49 (side note - I want that earring😭)

Tae spams the chat!

Jk reads his fourth comment out loud and tells Tae and Jimin not to come, before he cracks up and smiles, saying he hasn’t cleaned his house.

Timestamp 44:58

He then tells them to come with a bright smile -

Timestamp 45:18

Snippet of the exchange - https://x.com/jeonmygoogie/status/1720452425994183160?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg

During Jk’s live, Tae and Jimin go live for 7-8 seconds, outside Jk’s apartment. The translation:

🐥 dont do this aha

🐯 im going okay?

🐥 ah i said turn it off

🐯 we’re going okay??

CT: miiniyoongs

https://x.com/tishia_thv30/status/1720432709435273426?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg https://x.com/miiniyoongs/status/1720431172449173902?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg Raw - https://weverse.io/bts/live/0-129065538

There’s a distinct knocking sound that causes Jk to glance over, and then what sounds like footsteps at 49:18 as someone responds to the knock -

Timestamp 48:58

Jk wraps it up by laughing and saying he needs to go, as he doesn’t know what chaos Tae and Jimin will bring, that the two went out “right now” and drank.

Timestamp 50:18

A very random side note - I got this mug solely because Jk has it 😆

Theory as to some sounds heard as Jk went live (decide as you like) - https://x.com/loveis_taekook/status/1720679236565094892?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg

Some have raised the speculation that Tae may have been present in Jk's apartment at the time Jimin knocked on the door. The assumption here is that Tae was the one who could be heard walking off-camera to answer the door. Throughout his livestream, Jk periodically glances in the direction of something or someone, and there is an audible sound of footsteps off-camera shortly after the knock. However, Jk informs his viewers that both Tae and Jimin were out having a drink. Given that BTS sometimes need to omit or modify information for privacy considerations, it remains unclear whether Tae briefly appeared on the livestream to greet Jimin, or if there's another explanation for the observed noises and glances in Jk's livestream. You are welcome to draw your own conclusions.

so funny that they wanted to ease manu into it and give him a low stakes game and then all of THAT happened

It was all shaping up wonderfully.

A nice, peaceful match. Minimal disturbances for the return of our prodigal son. The ideal setting for a comeback. After all, who’d ever heard of SV Darmstadt anyway?

But then

BUT THEN

A WILD JO KIMMICH APPEARS

Entirely boyfriend-less and ready to throw the match into complete disarray

Which he did, with a beautiful red *ahem* parting gift

And just like that, Manu went from this

To this

And we may never know what happened in that locker room at the half, but I think we can safely assume Manu (or Thomas on his behalf) threatened to ground his rambunctious, misbehaving kids. After all, perhaps shaken from the record 3 sending-offs, they basically spent the opening 45 minutes playing tiddlywinks and giving Darmstadt way too much leeway. They owed Manu a better performance, and they seemed to know it too. They charged into that second half inspired, and waltzed their way to an 8-0 victory, restoring balance to the force and crinkly smile to their illustrious goalkeeper’s face.

tldr: Manu’s son got sent off a mere 4 minutes into the match. And pretty much 90% of his kids disappointed him throughout the rest of that first half. But it’s ok, because they made it up to him with an 8-0 victory and now we have happy Manu back 🥰

6, 23, 24, 27, 45 and 63 for Khloe? :3c

Oh my goodness! SO MANY! Thank you!! :0 I think for fun because the questions seemed posed like an interview, I may have Khloe "answer" these herself! (Ask Meme Post here!)

Her hands are laced in her lap, and she can feel her heart pound in her chest as the interviewer gives her a quick smile over their notes to put her at ease. The questions shouldn't be too invasive, right? Khloe sits up when the other person appears ready. 6. Are you more mature than you seem? Less? Khloe laughs a little, though the question itself isn't amusing really, it's more like a valve release to get out the stage fright. "I get told I look younger than I actually am, so I guess I would technically be way more mature than I appear. I'm thirty but I get told I don't look like it. So that's nice!" 23. How did you earn a living? "I am still working for the company I was at before." She gets a bit more comfortable in her seat and smiles. "I'm just a data entry clerk, but it's work from home and I pretty much make whatever schedule I want, so it's pretty perfect for my, uh, current lifestyle." 24. Did you have any real friends? Khloe cringes a little, ouch. "I fell off accidentally with a lot of people. I just got busy, COVID hit and it was hard to meet up and then you forgot to meet up... Days just blurred together and before you knew it months passed. I would say though my Mom was probably my best friend..." Her voice trails off, and for a split second her eyes appear melancholy before she looks back to the interviewer. 27. What was your first brush with the supernatural? "Unfortunately, my first brush with the supernatural was my Embrace. I have lots of books and movies and games and whatever centered around the supernatural that I love, but I never thought it was real-real until I woke up a vampire. I wouldn't call me a complete non-believer, but I definitely didn't think every bump in the night was a ghost or a werewolf that's for sure." She shrugs, "I gotta say, wasn't impressed initially with the whole being a supernatural being either for a hot bit there. Thanks to being Thinblood, my heart still beats, I still feel things working, I don't even heal good - uhm, well I mean. So aside from feeling ravenously hungry, it wasn't very different than being human." 45. Why do you think they (your sire) chose you? Her nostrils flare a little, and though she tries to remain polite she can't help the slight disdain in her voice. "If everything she tells me is true, which sure I am inclined to believe her, then it was all an accident and my Embrace was out of the goodness of her heart. Or maybe even a weird motherly pull because she knew about her issues with Embracing. Either way, I don't think I was a real choice, just an opportunity that presented itself when she slammed her car head-on into mine and I went flying into the street." 63. Do you have a permanent home at all? The frown she had from the question about her sire remains, and she looks at her lap, "I have an apartment but I don't really stay there anymore. I stayed with my boyfriend in his trailer, but that's gone now too. I stay now with my coterie in our shared home - but who knows how long that will last. It's just the nature of the life I've chosen to dedicate myself to, right? You don't revolutionize without possibly getting hurt, and you can't always trust that your own bed is safe..." Her lips then quirk into a smile, "Though, I guess sorry to be so cheesy, I would say my coterie is my permanent home. That I can say for absolute certain."

#khloe #khloe osborne #vtm oc #vtm #vampire the masquerade #oc ask meme #answered ask #heywizards #THANK YOU FOR ASKING YOU'RE SO SWEET #world of darkness #vtm oc prelude #thinblood #duskborn

beth mead - we love being enemies really

You played for barca aswell as the lionesses and today you guys were playing barca in the champions league .

You were excited to see some of your friends but you guys were rivals until the game ended . Alexia was constantly telling you to stay focused even when you were playing against some of your closest friends .

You had all just arrived at the stadium getting ready for the game .

Whilst you were warming up you noticed a few of the england girls smiling at you which you returned and then you saw the glare the alexia gave you and you stopped and got into game mode .

Sometimes she was terrifiying.

We were now standing in the tunnel getting ready to walk out . i was in game mode and it seemed as if everyone else was as i walked past beth gave me a dirty glare .

We all huddled round as alexia came over and the game began .

We started off the game with a lot of possession and a lot of chances . With me being right back i was trying to push up the field as much as possible to get us a goal which meant i bumped into beth a lot more .

In the 7th minute we have a corner which we play short . I am standing in the box with beth mead marking me as the cross comes in we both jump up to get it and collide . The ref gives them a free kick which was ridiculous.

" How is that a free kick i didn't touch her " i ask as she just signals me away .

Alexia walks over to try and calm me down before i get a yellow and then the game continues again .

Beth came sprinting up the pitch with the ball sticking to her feet so i knew what i had to do so i tackled her not allowing her passed me .

As soon as the ref blows her whistle i know i am going to get a yellow card but to be honest i didn't care .

However i did not take us long to get a goal from atiana .

I run straight past beth whilst smirking knowing that she will get pissed off and celebrated with my teammates.

We were now on a streak with jenni getting us another goal just 5 minutes later .

We all knew that this game now going to be getting more physical but we were ready .

Arsenal gets has a shot on goal and alexia was booked which was not the right decision but i couldn't argue with the ref as i would most likely get a red .

Just when we thought we were going into half time with just two goals frido manages to get a third and at half time it was 3-0 too us .

We all went into half time confident and ready for the next 45 minutes ahead of you guys .

We came back into the next half just a strong with lots of ideas to score more goals . Arsenal has also came out stronger with the giving lots of attacks .

Foord came charging into the box and i tackled her whilst clearing getting the ball . Both her and beth were trying the ref to give a penalty that we both knew was not right .

The ref said no pen .

" nice try there beth " i said to beth whilst running past her

In the 60 minute beth and alexia collide and we all have a break whilst beth gets some treatment .

After we had made some subs they instantly worked and jenni scored yet another goal now making it 4-0 .

We seeing the game out and it is arsenal throw in .

Beth keep trying to push we back to i give her a gentle push which she did not like and turned around shuving me back .

Luckily mapi came and pulled me back before i could retaliate meaning i would not get a second yellow and get sent off .

Beth got a yellow and i got subbed out as their were lots of chances of me getting a second yellow and i really didn't need that right now .

The game ended 4-0 to us and i walked over to the england girls in the huddle .

" good game girls" i said which they all replied

Can u do me a favor & drop that genmui playlist u mentioned? Also which song of that playlist is your personal favorite?

Maybe I’ll find a new song to obsess over <3

yessss (the description i have for the playlist is "pov we're teenagers in love and about to bleed out but i want to kiss you -genya" and that perfecty sums up how i feel about their relationship in the canon universe (not kimegaku) its sorta like right person wrong time) my favourite circulates but right now its "i wanna be your boyfriend" because it just feels like genya swooning over mui and it sounds so silly (i put them all in chronological order of how their love story lolll)

i wanna be your boyfriend - hot freaks

i wanna be you boyfriend, i wanna go on walks with you, i wanna have long talks with you (it just sounds like genya pining over mui what can i say)

hey lover - the daughters of eve

life's a problem in my hands, but if you really, really love me, in my heart, you'd be a big man (hey lover just sounds like something they would call each other)

beautiful boy - john lennon

beautiful beautiful beautiful, beautiful boy (just how he sings it is so sweet and how i imagine mui saying it to genya)

say yes to heaven - lana del ray

say yes to heaven, say yes to me, i've got my eye on you, i've got my eye on you (i could imagine genya whispering this in the middle of the night to mui)

paper rings - taylor swift

i like shiny things, but i'd marry you with paper rings, uhuh, that's right, darling, you're the one i want, and i hate accidents except when we went from friends to this (whimsical childish thinking that they would both survive the final fight)

i wanna be yours - arctic monkeys

secrets i have held in my heart are harder to hide than i thought, maybe i just wanna be yours (just them reciting their vows, both bleeding out and ready to die)

see you again - tyler the creator & kali uchis

can i get a kiss? and can you make it last forever, i said i'm 'bout to got to war, and i don't know if i'ma see you again (they're going to war and the song sounds like teenage love)

derniere danse - indila

je remue le ciel, le jour, la nuit, je danse avec le vent, la pluie, un peu d'amour, un brin de miel (translation has really pretty symbolism and it sounds like battle edit music)

daylight - david kushner

oh i love it and i hate it at the same time, hidin' all of our sins from the daylight, from the daylight, runnin' from the daylight (genya flashing back to his backstory)

muichiro tokito theme - samuel kim

0:31 - 0:45 (love the accompaniment of the bell with the rest of the growing music)

džanum - teya dora

ova duša nema dom, ova duša nema ton, crne zore, svеće gore, moje morе, moje more, moje more (the translation. omg.)

mr loverman - ricky montgomery

i'm mr loverman, oh, and i miss my lover, i've shattered now, i'm spilling out (genya worrying over mui during the battle. mic drop.)

softcore - the neighborhood

i'm too consumed with my own life, are we too young for this? feels like i can't move, sharing my heart, it's tearing me apart (they really were too young, and genya's fear of being useless)

chandelier - sia

i'm holdin' on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes, keep my glass full until morning light, 'cuz i'm just holdin' on for tonight (desperation to stay alive long enough to be useful during the fight)

wildest dreams - taylor swift

he's so tall and handsome as hell, he's so bad, but he does it so well, and when we've had our very last kiss, my last request is; say you'll remember me (mui just thinking genya would survive and he would die)

titanium - david guetta & sia

i'm bulletproof, nothing to lose, fire away, fire away, ricochet, you take your aim, fire away, fire away (muichirou telling genya to shoot even though genya could've shot him)

somewhere only we know - keane

and if you have a minute why don't we go, talk about it somewhere only we know, this could be the end of everything, so why don't we go, somewhere only we know (it sounds sad and the lyrics could imply an already-present relationship)

blood//water - grandson

we'll never get free, lamb to the slaughter, what you gon' do when there's blood in the water? (guilting kokushibo over killing two children)

#demon slayer #kimetsu no yaiba #genmui #shinazugawa genya #tokitou muichirou #kny #playlist #muigen #muichiro tokito #muichiro x genya #kny spoilers #uppermoon one fight

Hi, I came to report to you that your ql music research is rubbing off on me 😅 I was watching ep 2 of Ploy's Yearbook (for Joong and Namtan 😍), when suddenly I recognized a piece of music!! But I couldn't place it, so I tried to remember which series have I watched so many times that I'm familiar with the music. I reached the tentative conclusion that it must be from SIMM or possibly from Hidden Agenda (but I definitely connected it to JoongDunk). Maybe I need to do a complete rewatch of both series to confirm, what a hardship 😂 I just wanted to tell you that maybe aside from being a JD vampire bl truther, this will be your other legacy

oh my god, that's amazing!!!!!! i LOVE to hear that!!!!! i'm actually planning on making a side blog focused on shared royalty free music in thdramas, but that's something that is earliest going to happen in the summer if not in the winter. i wanna work my way through some of my fave shows first, because those are the soundtracks i'm more likely to recognize and i just wanna have them on my google doc before i go put everything in tumblr posts (which is also gonna take forever bc my google doc is currently at 100 pages worth of entries sjkfkjsfdj)

aaaaanyway, re: music in ploy's yearbook

was it by any chance desert caravan by ludvig moulin? i haven't watched ep2 yet (i was actually about to go watch it when your message came in and i couldn't help answering it first kjdkfdg), but i did see a clip of it earlier in jimmy's insta story and the scene had this music in the background. it has come up in episode 1 already as well. if it was this, then good job on connecting it to a joongdunk show because it actually has come up on hidden agenda a couple of times! i'm still missing the last 3 episodes on my music collection, but these are the time stamps so far:

ep1 pt1 - 0:13

ep3 pt2 - 0:20

ep4 pt1 - 4:32

ep8 pt4 - 8:08

And here are the time stamps for ep1 of ploy's yearbook:

ep1 pt1 - 11:10 / 17:41

ep1 pt2 - 1:50

ep2 pt1 - 9:38

ep2 pt2 - 0:27

ep2 pt3 - 3:09

ep2 pt4 - 3:07

you might also have recognized get up on that horse by spring gang as the music that plays in bad buddy at the beginning of ep7 when pat is in the car (ep7 pt1 - 1:20) or also in ep12 when patpran claim they broke up (ep12 pt3 - 3:45). oh but wait, it's definitely connected to joongdunk, you said? well, as it turns out this one has actually come up in star in my mind a lot. like. A LOT:

ep1 pt2 - 5:55

ep2 pt1 - 4:00

ep2 pt4 - 1:02

ep3 pt2 - 1:15

ep3 pt3 - 1:55

ep3 pt4 - 1:17

ep6 pt2 - 1:23

ep7 pt2 - 1:48

ep7 pt4 - 0:48

ep8 pt1 - 4:33 / 5:41

ep8 pt3 - 5:07

and here are the time stamps for ep1 of ploy's yearbook again for reference:

ep1 pt1 - 13:00

ep1 pt2 - 2:26

ep2 pt1 - 8:37

and here, have a bonus because why the fuck not: moonshiner's turn by martin landström. this one has shown up in ep1 pt4 of both bad buddy as well as 23.5 degrees. also found in ep1 of ploy's yearbook at:

ep1 pt1 - 18:53

ep1 pt3 - 6:16

ep2 pt1 - 0:35 / 17:30

well, i'm gonna go watch the new episode now! feel free to check back on this post in a couple of hours, i might edit it or add a reblog with all my findings about the music in ep2 😂

edit:

i've added the ep2 time stamps to the aforementioned ones! and i found new music as well!!

maybe the one you recognized as a joongdunk series music in ep2 was winning hand by ealot. it came up in star in my mind a couple of times:

ep1 pt4 - 3:00

ep2 pt2 - 2:20

ep4 pt2 - 9:16

ep8 pt3 - 4:17

it featured in ep2 of ploy's yearbook at following timestamps:

ep2 pt1 - 16:58

ep2 pt3 - 3:45

and there was some more bad buddy music as well (diggin' the drama by the new fools) and it amazes me that my brain immediately went "we know this!!" considering it showed up in bad buddy exactly one single time (ep7 pt2 - 13:45). bad buddy really has wormed its way into my brain in every single aspect in the last two years huh djkfkjdfg. anyway you can find it in ep2 of ploy's yearbook at:

ep2 pt1 - 11:10

apart from these, there were also two pieces of music that sounded increeeedibly familiar to me but neither shazam nor google could come up with any results! i'm gonna have to click through my "not found" list at some point, maybe they're already there. here are the time stamps if you're curious:

first one i can't find (ep2 pt3 - 2:06)

second one i can't find (ep2 pt3 - 7:09)

this is gonna bug me for a while....

#anon it makes me so happy to hear that my ramblings about thdrama music have at least one listener dfjkkdfj #and no need to rewatch the series (except if you want an excuse to do so ofc dkfjkfd) because i have it all on my list!!#you can just tell me a timestamp or shazam/google it yourself and tell me the title and i can check if it's on my list <3 #also i'm telling you recognizing thdrama music is a curse really #you'll innocently be watching a video by one of your fave youtubes and suddenly be hit by a flash of ''oh this is gay thdrama music''#or you know. instagram algorithm presents you with some reel and suddenly you sit bolt upright bc you know. gay thdrama music #airenyah plappert #asks #anon #adrm #ploy's yearbook #pyb music #ha music #simm music #bbs music #23.5 music #airenyah's thdrama music collection #ok no but for real tho #the other day i saw liam carpenter's sketch on ''tschechisches streichholzschächtelchen'' and halfway through the sketch some music started #and i go ''ah yes sneaky town by playtown from bad buddy. cool cool. i am fine :))))''#thdrama music comes up on jet lag the game all the time as well #i've found thdrama music in max fosh videos and in a daniel thrasher sketch after the sketch that happens to be paid for #this skill is a curse #anyway thdrama music and joongdunk vampire bl truthing. what a legacy <3

TARGETS - 29 - Her Sacrifice

Roman Reigns is an agent in the secret organization The Authority and one of the world’s deadliest assassins. When he crosses paths with a mysterious woman during an assignment, he makes a life-changing decision that switches his role from the hunter to the hunted. (AU Espionage Story)

TARGETS MASTERLIST

——————–

“Rose," Jasmine started, gazing imploringly at the woman she thought was her friend. She knew that their last encounter had not been the most amicable, but she had hoped it wouldn’t come down to this. Clearly, she had been much too optimistic. "Rose, please."

The redheaded woman didn't seem to have heard Jasmine's pleas. "Let's get to it, ladies," she addressed her accomplices, reaching for her gun. "Make it quick. And hurry up, before anyone sees us."

"Sure thing, Rose." Iris and Pansy advanced towards the wounded, cornered couple, but Rose suddenly struck from behind, putting a bullet in the back of Pansy’s head. She did the same to Iris, watching her drop to the ground.

Roman and Jasmine stood frozen, in complete surprise at what had just happened. Rose just gunned down her own associates.

Rose stepped over the bodies. "We don't have much time," she said curtly to Jasmine, throwing open the back door of the car. "Let's go. Now!" she added harshly, startling the couple and rushing inside the back seat.

As she drove, Rose threw a small white towel over her shoulder to Roman. "Here. It'll stem the bleeding," she advised. Roman said nothing, but pressed the cloth to his skin. She may have rescued them, but his suspicious gaze on the redhead hadn't quite wavered.

"Sorry I took so long," Rose sent an apologetic glance through the rear view mirror. "I had to convince Lily to let me come after you, that you would listen to me and turn yourself in. I didn't know she would make me take Iris and Pansy along for the ride," she added, referring to the two F.L.O.R.A. agents now lying dead in a deserted alleyway. "I don't think she trusts me anymore."

"I'm sorry about that," Jasmine managed, still slightly numb and acutely aware that both she and Roman could very well have died today.

"I'm just curious as to how you knew where to find Jasmine," Roman spoke up, his tone edgy as he cast a hard gaze at the woman in the driver's seat, "So you knew where Corbin was keeping her? And you did nothing about it?" he demanded. For all he cared, Rose may have been in on the whole thing. For all he cared, this was another trap.

Rose smiled, understanding the man's grievance. "Care to explain, friend?" she simply said.

Confused, Roman turned his attention to his girlfriend. He watched her take off her right earring and hand it to him. "This is a tracking device that Rose and I were secretly working on at F.L.O.R.A. It's just a prototype, but we weren't sure it was in proper operating condition until today. It was the reason I went out to contact Rose, just in case something happened to me. I left a voicemail on her phone asking her to meet me at an address, 20 Whiskey Omega Hotel at 13:45. But it's not an address; it's an activation code."

"2-0-W-O-H," Roman deciphered, inspecting the object between his thumb and forefinger before glancing back at Jasmine.

"One three four five," She finished for him. "That's the code. The plan was always to make it sound like it's an address and a time in case we're being listened in on. And even if they do figure out the address is a fake they still won't know what it is we're talking about. The code can only be accessed through a phone programmed to accept it, like Rose's was. Once you type in those numbers into the phone, the tracker is activated instantly."

Roman nodded, and then returned his gaze to Rose. "Took you a while to find us then, Red," he commented, his tone almost accusing. Through the rear view mirror, Rose met his glare with one of her own.

"Roman, stop it," Jasmine reprimanded. "She's not to blame for this."

"What if I'd been too late? What if Corbin took you out before I got there? Huh? What if you d-" He quickly cut himself off, refusing to complete the question, letting it hang in the air for everyone else in the car to digest.

Jasmine lowered her gaze. "Then she would have found you, handed you new identification, new credit cards and a one-way flight ticket to Kingston, Jamaica."

Roman stared at her, appalled. Hurt. "You're kidding me, right? So you wanted me to leave the country without you?" he said angrily, his voice rising. "Run off and leave you to die?"

"If I died, you were getting out of here, no questions asked." Jasmine met his glare. "Rose wouldn't have given you a choice. I told her to make sure of that."

Incensed, Roman started to say more when he hissed loudly as a sharp pain ripped through his shoulder. Jasmine immediately looked him over with worry. His face was paler. He was still losing blood. "Shh, stop talking. It's making you weaker. We're almost at Rose's." Scooting closer to him, she placed a finger over his mouth, but Roman pushed her hand off and turned away from her, staring out the window. Dismayed, Jasmine shifted back to her seat and looked the other way, her lips pursed tightly together to keep from breaking down.

--------------------

Rose parked the car in the back, led Jasmine and Roman inside her house and with one push of a button, barricaded all the entrances. "Now, let's get you both cleaned up."

Jasmine pointed at Roman. "Start with him. I'll be okay. I just need a shower and that cream of yours." Things between them had become incredibly tense since their argument in the car and she was keen for some space from him. She began to take off what was left of her clothes, wincing as the fabric peeled off painfully from her dried wounds.

Roman's gaze hardened as he took a good look at the damage his former colleague had inflicted on his girlfriend. He wished he'd killed Corbin himself. A gunshot to the head was too good, too easy for him. He noticed Rose staring at Jasmine, wearing a wistful, almost longing expression that both piqued his curiosity and grated on his nerves. She quickly switched to a neutral countenance when Jasmine turned back to her. She rummaged through her duffel bag and brought out a small white tub. It was full of some translucent substance resembling aloe. Roman winced at the smell. It definitely did not smell like aloe. "What the hell is that?" he asked.

"It's a lotion I learned how to make when I was in Japan," Rose explained, a hint of pride in her voice as she laid out everything she needed for Roman on the coffee table. "Really effective stuff. Apply it properly for three days and all your flesh injuries are gone, like they were never there."

"And I'll take that. I'll bring it back down when I'm finished with it," Jasmine grinned, swiping the tub. Rose glanced at her with concern. "Can you make it upstairs on your own?" she asked.

"Of course. I'll be fine." Giving Roman a forlorn glance, her heart dropped a little when he still refused to meet her eyes. Sighing heavily, she limped upstairs and out of sight.

Taking a seat beside Roman, Rose motioned for him to take off his shirt and peered closely at his arm. “Why are you mad at her? She was looking out for you,” she admonished him.

Roman sighed and dragged a hand down his face. “I’m not mad. And I’m not going to talk about it with you. Can you just check me out?”

Rolling her eyes, Rose refocused on his arm. "Bullet went through and through," she observed.

"I figured that much out myself the second I got shot," Roman replied with a derisive snort. “Anything else I don't know, Einstein?"

"You better watch that tone of yours and hold still, Reigns," Rose warned, her tone artificially pleasant. Her thumb hovered ominously over the bullet wound. "Don't want to turn out much worse than you already are, do we?"

“I don’t give a fuck if you’re a chick. Threaten me again and I’ll break your arm.” He should have known better than to address her this way, considering the fact he was incapacitated and at the mercy of a KGB-trained assassin. But for some reason, whatever animosity she had for him felt personal and he wasn’t in the mood for her infantile jabs.

Rose merely chuckled, her tone light and bordering on mocking. “Sheathe your sword, big man. Clearly we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot. The last thing Jasmine would want is us fighting, so how about we keep this cordial, huh?”

Ohhhh, there was so much more he wanted to say, but she was right. Things were already awkward between him and his girlfriend. Begrudgingly, he kept the rest of his comments to himself and allowed her to tend to him.

Jasmine returned an hour later, looking slightly better, though the limp was still noticeable and her eyes and face were a little swollen. Finding Roman alone in the living room, she hesitated for a second, before going over to him, sitting down next to him and taking his hand. He still didn't look at her and the silence was killing her. "Roman, please don’t act like this. Don’t shut me out," she pleaded in a shaky voice

"You wanted me to leave you," he murmured, finally looking into her eyes for the first time in hours. "You wanted me to go to Jamaica without you. How do you think that makes me feel?"

"I was thinking about what was best for you."

"You were going to sacrifice yourself for me!"

Jasmine looked him in the eye. "You once told me you'd die for me if it meant I would be safe. Well, it turns out I feel the exact same way. Sue me," she said.

Roman stared back at her, his heart in his eyes. He couldn’t keep this up if he tried. He brought her hand to his lips and smiled weakly. "I'm sorry, baby girl. About everything."

Jasmine stopped him with a shake of her head and put her arms around him. "Don't worry about it. I'm just glad you're okay. We are okay." She leaned in and kissed him tenderly, smiling when he kissed her back, wrapping his arms as carefully around her as possible.

Neither noticed the anger that flashed through Rose's face.

--------------------

Roman was soon on the mend. Fatigue quickly overcame the couple and Rose had her guest room ready for them. He awoke after a restless hour of sleep. Glancing down at his sleeping girlfriend, he placed a quick kiss on her temple and wandered out into the kitchen. Rose was there, leaning against the kitchen counter with a glass of water in hand, deep in thought. She looked up and locked eyes with him, ramping up the tension between them. Taking one look at the Samoan, she poured another glass and offered it to him. Surprised by the gesture of kindness, Roman accepted it gratefully. "Thanks."

More uncomfortable silence passed between them. "You really love Jasmine, don't you?" Rose said quietly. It was more of a statement than a question.

Roman didn't think twice about his answer. "Yes, I do." He paused, watching the woman carefully. Then, he added, "And I know...you feel the same way about her."

Rose's head shot up, gaping at Roman as he tilted his head, silently daring her to refute his claim. He had been thinking about it all day and was a hundred percent sure he was correct. Watching her mouth part and then close again in complete shock pretty much confirmed it. She didn't need to say anything. The answer was written all over her face. "I see the way you look at her. She looks at me the same way," Roman explained, his gaze almost sympathetic. "That's why you're risking your life to protect her. That's the real reason you can't stand me." He set his glass down, looking right at her. "You're in love with her."

"Don’t act like you know me, Reigns," the ex-Russian cut him off, her accent thickening as she crossed her arms defensively. "How I feel doesn't matter. She's in love with you. She's happier than I've ever seen her." She shook her head and laughed, a terse sound lacking any humor. "The funny part is, even after she found out who you were, I thought she would finally leave you alone, that she'd finally see what was in front of her all this time. But if anything, she seemed to fall even harder for you, to the point that she’s risking her life for you now. I just want her to stay happy, and if it's going to be with you then I'm fine with that. That's all that matters to me." Flicking her red hair out of her eyes, she glared at him. "So let's just get one thing straight, big man. If you hurt her in any way…More importantly, if you let her die… I will find you and I will kill you."

Roman was very much aware that this was no idle threat. "Deal." He looked into Rose's green eyes, and for once, he felt only a little contempt towards her. Just a little. "Thank you, Rose," he told her sincerely.

"I don’t need your thanks. You can thank me by making sure she makes it out of this shit alive."

———

By sunset, the couple was dressed and ready to leave. Rose helped them load the weapons she'd given them into her car. "So where are you going now?" she asked Jasmine.

"Honestly, we have no idea," she admitted, "we'll find somewhere to fully recuperate, and then, we take our next step." Her expression softened as she looked closely at her friend. "Come to Jamaica with us, Rose. Please," she implored, grabbing her hand. "F.L.O.R.A. will know you helped us and they'll come after you. Come with us. Strength in numbers, you know."

Rose eyed Jasmine for a beat, and then smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry about me, dear. I'll be alright. I'll contact you as soon as I can and let you know I'm okay."

"You'd better," Jasmine told her sternly, to which Rose rolled her eyes and laughed. "Of course I will. When have I ever let you down?"

A big smile formed on Jasmine's face. "Never." She pulled her friend into a big hug. "I'll see you soon, Rose," she whispered. "I love you."

Swallowing back her emotions, the redhead merely nodded and held on tight. Behind Jasmine’s back, she glanced over at Roman, who gave her a small, grateful nod. With a few more final goodbyes, she watched them drive off in her car and then walked slowly back into the house, checking her watch.

They would be here soon. Lily would know what she had done and would be sending people after her at this very moment. The part Rose did not tell Jasmine was she had no plans to meet up with her in Jamaica. She couldn't bear to see her and Roman together and be in love while she was cast off to the side, having fucked up each and every chance to disclose her true feelings. Not when it could have been her with Jasmine, kissing her, loving her the way she deserved. But it didn't matter anymore. None of it mattered anymore. The love of her life was gone with someone else. She had nothing else to live for, but at least she would have the final say on what happened to her.

Rose pulled out the Glock from inside the drawer and loaded a single bullet into the chamber. The tears she'd been holding back finally spilled as thoughts of her friend, the object of her affection, ran through her mind one final time.

I love you too, Jasmine.

Shutting her eyes tightly, Rose shoved the gun into her mouth and pulled the trigger.

How was this?
