Song: strange love by karen o

+++++++++

I walked up slowly to the brightly colored shop. There was a large cursive w on each door. I could do this. It wasn't much more than a crush but I needed to go in. I needed to face him. And I needed to try one of his confections that I had heard so much about in the past few months. It was stupid to admired him from afar. All I have to do is introduce myself. But somehow. Someway. That just seemed so hard.

I could feel my heart beating against my ribcage as I stepped forward. The bell on the door chimed and my eyes went wide. The entire shop was wonderous, booming with life as people ran around, paying the man at the register before shoving their faces with various sweets. And the smell. My God was the smell intoxicating. It was sweet but not too much, a little musky but also like a clean bakery. It was fresh. I breathed deeply as I stepped further in. Then I saw him, puple coat, brown top hat, curls popping out everywhere, and the most beautiful green-apple-eyes.

"Mr Wonka."

I said, loud enough for him to hear but still fairly bashful. He smiled and tipped his hat as he walked past me.

"Ma'am."

I held my breath as he left me to talk to the little girl at the front door. I just kept moving, letting my feet take me. To make it seem casual. Not so forced. But also, now I was inside. I had to buy something. But I was never one for sweets. Other than him of course.

°°°°°°°°°

I couldn't believe myself. I was just here yesterday. I had only bought one chocolate and left. Avoiding all eye contact but thanking the lovely man at the pay counter. But of course I was back. Because so would he. He was always here. He refused to not be, to miss the magic that could be had. ThE joy of someone tasting his chocolate for the first time. I took a deep breath as I stepped inside again, trying to calm my nerves. There he was, off to the side but walking towards me again. I made a point to pass him.

"Mr Wonka."

I repeated same as yesterday. He tilted his hat the way he had before, a smirk on his lips.

"Ma'am."

I couldn't help smile a bit as I passed to the far end of the shop, faking interest in the shelf full of popping candies and things that looked like butterflies. He had for real seen me this time. And I made a point to notice it. It had ran through my mind all night, keeping me awake. Had he actually seen me? Was he saying something because he felt he had to? Was I just another sovereign in the drawer?

°°°°°°°°°

Two weeks. Two weeks of going into his shop. I always greeted him, passing him by to fake shop, him tipping his hat to me followed by a smile. No other words had ever been exchanged. I always chose one thing, rung out, and handed the candy off to someone on the streets. I still wasn't one for sweets. But I couldn't help it. I had to see him. So I stepped inside. For the fifteenth time. And there he was, eyes bright, smile wide.

But something was different. He wasn't fashioned in his coat and hat. He still wore his patterned scarf and vest but he had skipped the formality. It was refreshing. A small change to our usual. Was I listening to myself? Our usual. Like he had a hand in this delusion. And then it dawned on me. It was just him and I. Alone.

"Ma'am."

He said softly, a half smile creeping to his lips.

"Mr Wonka."

I said strongly before swallowing hard.

"Same time as always."

I nodded slowly, never looking away from his gaze.

"I wanted to thank my most devoted customer. Finally meet you. Officially."

I held my breath. Devoted customer. Right.

"Well mr Wonka, can you blame me?"

He laughed a little and I wanted to melt into a puddle.

"Please, call me willy."

He stepped forward and offered his hand for me to shake.

"Yn."

His hand was soft and warm, but his handshake was light like he was scared to hurt me. Unlike the business men I'd worked with before whose handshakes could break you.

"Well y/n I think it would be rude of me not to offer you anything you desire in this room."

My face went flush, I could feel the heat rising in me and could only imagine how splotchy my neck and cheeks were getting beneath my jacket. All I wanted in this room was him.

"I couldn't possibly -"

I stuttered out but he held his finger up to stop me.

"Surely there is something in here you want. Why else would you be here?"

I took a deep breath.

"Mr Wonka -"

"Willy."

He interrupted.

"Willy... I have a confession to make."

He raised a brow.

"I don't care much for sweets and chocolate."

He looked confused.

"I come here everyday to see you."

He drew his brows.

"But you come in here everyday and buy -"

"Mr Wonka-"

He held up his hand. He looked, angry?

"Y/n why do you come here everyday?"

I could feel tears stinging my eyes. I guess if I'm gonna confess it to myself finally he might as well be here.

"Because I am enamored by you. Mr wonka. You make this town seem so happy and bright. Something I haven't seen in a long time. And then I saw you and I wanted to do good. so I come in, and seeing you makes me smile, so I buy something. And then I hand it off to someone in the streets, someone whose had a bad day or a bad week. And it makes them happy. And then I think of you. And I'd be lying if that feeling hasnt turned into something more."

I wrung my hands out before shoving them in my pockets. I looked down to the floor, shoving my foot deeper against the sparkling pink floor.

"You're beautiful."

He said softly and I snapped my head back up, wide eyed. He was stood in front of me now, merely inches away, hands in his own pockets. I laughed for a second, wiping away tears that had fallen.

"Don't patronize me Mr Wonka, please."

He shook his head and stepped forward, placing his hands firmly on my arms.

"Tell me what it is that you would like."

I sighed, looking between his candy apple eyes.

"You Mr Wonka. I would like you."

I stated blankly and he cracked a smile.

"Now was that so hard?"

He asked and now it was my turn to draw my brows.

"Mr Wonka?"

I could feel his thumbs rubbing against my arm through my jacket.

"Willy."

He said and I laughed.

"I admire you y/n, and I would be grateful if you would keep coming around. Not to buy things, but so we can get to know each other."

I smiled and nodded quickly.

"I would like that a lot."

He dropped his hands from my sides and offered to shake again.

"Then I believe we have a deal."

I shook back, a smirk on my face.

"It would seem so."

Strange Love: Part One (Fred BensonxFem!Reader)

Masterlist

Word Count: 2.9 k

Synopsis: Request from @fandom-garbage:

What if the reader (fem or gn) is like popular and considered very "hot" I guess but she makes her love for her bf Fred very apparent despite him not being the typical guy I guess. Kinda like Jessica and Roger Rabbit dynamic I just think that would be very cute. Like she kisses him all the time.

CW: Spoilers/references to Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut; hard crushing/fluff; reader is kind of on a pedestal; self-doubt/deprecation on Fred’s part

A/N: Honestly, the song Strange Love by Karen O has guided several of my Fred fics, but I thought this one would be perfect for incorporating some of the lyrics and being more based on it. Also, while I was never hot or popular, I did do cheerleading for six years, so I drew on that experience for the 'hot but sweet cheerleader' trope, a la Chrissy the Queen Cunningham.

He had to be mistaken. Or dreaming. But he could have sworn he saw Y/N make direct eye contact with him and smile as she passed in the hallway. Fred watched after her a moment longer and noticed her turn her head, glancing back in his direction as she walked with her swarm of friends, the elites of Hawkins high. It's a crowded hallway. There's no way she was looking at you, he scolded himself and adjusted the satchel strap across his chest. But the next day, he was hit with the hard realization that he hadn't been imagining it.

"Hi, Fred!" She said from behind him and he turned to see that photo-perfect smile plastered on her face. It fit in with her whole cleancut image: hair swept up into a tight ponytail without a single hair misplaced, a crisp green, white, and gold cheer uniform, and a perky pep in her step and tone in her voice. He had to consciously stop himself from slamming back into locker in shock and disbelief, not to mention the fuzzy weakness in his knees that made him feel on the brink of collapse. Whether it was anxiety from her seemingly knowing his name and initiating conversation or he was alarmed at her beauty up close, he couldn't say; either way, it was overtaking him in an intoxicating blunder.

"H-hello?" He stammered out an unsure greeting. At this point, he knew this was happening, but he could not fathom why.

"How are you? Sorry," she blinked in realization, "this is probably really weird and out of the blue. I'm in Callahan's class with you, I sit near the back and --"

"No, I know who you are." He finally snapped out of his daze to reply, "I mean, I recognize you."

"Oh, good," she let out a relieved sigh and then started talking quickly again, unable to contain the bubbly personality underneath. "I just feel bad that I've never really had a chance to talk to you and you seem really interesting, so I thought I'd say hi, see how you were doing. Kind of introduce myself belatedly. Way overdue, I know."

His brain took a moment to process the rapid speech, and all it could return in kind was, "Me?" with a hesitant gesture at himself.

"Yeah, you." Her stunning, sparkling eyes softened into a warm and welcoming gaze, "Unless you suddenly aren't Fred Benson." That perfect smile played at her lips again.

"I am." This is going swimmingly, he thought to himself sarcastically. He was so rarely at a loss for words or wit, but he felt totally out of his element here. "I just…I didn't realize you knew who I was. Different friends and all that. We--we haven't worked together in class, right?" He asked trying to play it cool as though he wouldn't remember her nor did he know for a fact they'd never been paired together. That would be the stuff of dreams to last him for the next century, much like this scenario was likely to fuel him.

"No, but I've heard some of the things you've said, answers you've given. I've found them really…" she paused, drawing in her pink, glossy lower lip between her teeth searching for the right word while Fred was just doing his best to recall how to breathe correctly. "Insightful." She finished, giving him a direct and meaningful stare. He felt pinned, but oddly didn't mind it.

"R-really? Thanks." He was still unsure. All of this seemed too out of place, too unreal.

"Yeah, of course. Hey, are you going to the basketball game tonight? At least to cover it for the paper?" She asked and he could only blink in surprise. She knew he was part of The Weekly Streak, too?!

"Um, yeah. Yes. I'll be there, reporting." He replied, matter-of-factly.

"Good. Maybe I'll see you there." She grinned and swayed a little, balancing on the balls of her feet. "I've gotta run though. Bye!"

"Goodbye." He mumbled, skeptically, before she walked away. But he caught her in another over-the-shoulder glance as she walked away and disappeared into the throng of students.

~•••~

"Y/N?" Fred's most trusted friend and confidante, Clark asked, dubious. "As in Y/N L/N? Ridiculously hot cheerleader here; that Y/N?"

"Yes! Obviously!" Fred said, exasperated. Of course, he had also been in disbelief but Clark's rigorous clarification was irritating him; was he truly that undesirable or unworthy to talk to?

"Fred, I know some weird stuff has happened in Hawkins lately. The Russians, the mall fire, that dead kid showing back up y'know, not dead. But this? This takes the cake."

"Nice to know I'm that low on the totem pole, that it is absolutely unbelievable for a girl to talk to me."

"No, no. Not a girl. The most attractive, sought-after girl here? It is not a dig at you, she shouldn't be speaking to any of us!" Clark tried to justify as he noticed Fred's face get redder with anger. "It just defies the natural rules of high school. We are down here," he made a gesture at shoulder-height, "and she's in the stratosphere. I'm not sure she's really from this planet, man. I mean, have you seen her?"

"You doofus, I just told you I talked to her, of course I've seen her!"

"Then you should get what I'm saying." Clark shrugged and Fred sighed in defeat. Clark was right: she was out of their league. He shouldn't get his hopes up, and yet, that little sliver of faith kept him going.

~•••~

Clark had to eat his words later that night, though. He decided to attend the game himself and see if Fred's outrageous claim came true. Y/N approached as the crowd was dispersing from the bleachers to address Fred.

"Hey, didja have fun?" She asked, that ever-present beaming smile lighting up her face and the whole gymnasium along with it.

"I'm not sure I'd precisely put it that way," he returned the smile helplessly, "but I'd say I enjoyed myself overall. Sports aren't really my thing. It's part of the job, but it wasn't bad, per se."

"That's the spirit!" She reached out and nudged his shoulder with a pom-pom, his smile growing wider in spite of himself. That is, until he saw Clark making his way over. The dream bubble burst…back to reality. She noticed his face fall and peeked behind herself. She turned back and raised a quizzical eyebrow to Fred.

"Clark, hey." He tried to seem enthused but fell short. "This is Y/N. Y/N, this is my friend, Clark." They exchanged pleasantries, but Fred tried to communicate to his friend to take a hike. "I thought you were headed right home after the game." He 'hinted' through gritted teeth. Luckily, Clark caught on and obliged him.

"Oh! I am. Very busy stuff…at home, but I just thought I would say goodbye as I was headed out. So, uh, goodbye. And nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too?" Her voice rose in pitch, not sure what to make of the conversation, and she turned back to Fred. He caught a glimpse of Clark mouthing Oh my God! And doing a 'call me' hand sign before noticeably pointing towards her. Fred waved at him as if nothing happened.

"Sorry about him. It's just way past his bedtime." He said sarcastically and she giggled.

"So, are you headed home too? Or…well, some of us were going to go to the diner if you want to come with." She said it like it was no big deal, like it was a run-of-the-mill invitation, as if he should have known he'd always be welcome.

"Uh, yeah, sure. Normally I stay and draft the article. I mean, I don't usually go home right away anyway."

"Oh, good, then I'm not keeping you up past your bedtime?" Holy hell, was she trying to kill him? His heart slammed in his chest and he tried to swallow thickly, but his throat was too dry and his Adam's Apple bobbed in vain.

"Nope, not at all. I like to walk on the wild side. Rebel." He joked, even though he felt ridiculous saying so.

"See? I told you you were interesting." She said lowly, leaning in just a bit. "You ready to go?"

~•••~

Y/N was surprisingly funny and kind. While Fred had felt compelled to take up her invitation, he was still apprehensive. It felt like it was just too good to be true, that there had to be some ulterior motive. But she made him feel more or less at home among her friends. Or, as welcome as he could feel in a place he clearly did not belong. It felt akin to being at the zoo, but he wasn't sure if he was a patron…or an exhibit. Some of the crowd seemed questioning or worse, falsely kind, but Y/N paid them no mind and acted as though this was totally normal, as if Fred had been with them all along.

"What did you think of the reading for this weekend? Harrison Bergeron?" She asked him.

"You already read it?" He asked, amazed. He figured that most people, ones with social lives anyway, would do weekend assignments on the weekend.

"Yeah. I knew I had the game tonight and practice tomorrow. So I tried to get ahead. Or at least not procrastinate. You know Callhan's class. It can kick your ass if you fall behind." She then furrowed her eyebrows, "Sorry. That makes it sound like I think you're a slacker or something if you haven't read it. I just thought that maybe you had already--"

"I did. I, uh, like reading. Shocker, I know. So you don't have to apologize." He watched her carefully, taking in her relaxed posture and knowing he had reassured her that there was no blunder on her part. "Honestly, I think it was an artistic way of saying how I've always felt: conformity is dangerous and it'll lead to the death of society."

"I can see that being a point, for sure. I think it was a look at equality versus equity, though. Rather than having equal opportunity, they had equitable hindrances. It also reminded me of Animal Farm, ya know? Like we strive for this perfect equality but someone will always rise up and put themselves at the top. 'Some are created more equal than others' and all that."

"Wow. And you think I'm insightful." He sat back, astonished. He had now completely forgotten that there was a table full of her friends; to him, only the two of them shared this conversation or perhaps even existed. "I think you'd be like the ballerina in the story. Laden down with every handicap to make you less extraordinary." She bit her lip in response, not sure how to take the compliment. "Well, you'd definitely have one of the earpieces for sure. Disrupt all those big, anti-conformist thoughts." She laughed nervously and placed a hand on top of his. "I don't think I'd be quite like the ballerina, though."

"Come on, you're athletic and graceful, smart, beautiful--" the last descriptor flew out before he could contain it and he instantly clammed up.

"Thank you," she said softly and then sat back, withdrawing her hand and he worried he'd said the wrong thing or acted too strangely. She cleared her throat, "So, uh, tell me: what's it like working on the paper? Do you get to choose your research or is it assigned to you?" She asked, trying to give him the opportunity to talk about something he knew, but more importantly, to take attention off herself.

"Kind of both. There's things our editors and the supervisor think people will want to read, or events that have to be covered. But sometimes you can pick what you want and they'll pick it up." He replied and noticed her gaze, fully locked on him. She had a way of focusing on him that made him feel so seen after years of feeling invisible. It made him feel both nervous and exhilarated to have that kind of attention, particularly from her.

As the evening wound down, she asked, "Can I give you a ride home?"

"I wouldn't want to be a bother…" he said. He wasn't sure why his immediate response was to decline. Probably the nerves acting up again, or somewhere in his brain he was still thinking this couldn't possibly be real. That he was like Cinderella and his time was about to run out and he'd be less than ordinary again.

"It's not, really. Come on." She jerked her head toward the parking lot and effortlessly commanded him to follow her lead. He watched her as they walked out: moonlight pooling in her hair and highlighting her best features, making her more radiant than usual. Ethereal, even. He got into her car silently, almost afraid of how this would turn out. He was still waiting for that big 'gotcha' moment, the one that revealed she couldn't be so perfect. She couldn't be so stunning and kind and everything else. He directed her to his house and gulped as she parked along the curb out front.

"I had a really nice time with you tonight. I'm glad you decided to come along." She smiled at him with perfect teeth, the effect knocking a blow into his stomach. Pow.

"Yeah. Thanks for inviting me. It was…really nice." He stumbled over his word choice, which was a new sensation for him. In his own little corner of Hawkins High, he commanded The Streak with some authority and used his brains and his wits as his guard. But now, that was all wiped away and he was at a loss…vulnerable.

"Fred." She stated, and hit her palms lightly on the steering wheel, looking forward, "I hope this isn't too…forward or totally off-base but," she bit her lip and looked back to him, "I really like you. And I'm hoping you feel that way about me. I mean, you called me beautiful and-- I'm rambling but, I don't know, would you maybe want to go out sometime? Just you and me?"

"Me?" He asked incredulously, pointing to himself and then quickly looked over his shoulder out the window as if someone else would be there. She had to be talking to someone else. "You can't be serious. Me? Like…you belong with some model or football captain or something. You could have any guy you want!"

"I know," she replied softly, "But I've wasted enough time with guys like that. I know what they're about. I'd rather have someone with brains, a kind heart. And don't sell yourself short, you're very cute." She said, eyes raking over his features. He felt hot under her gaze. It was both searing and electrifying, all at once. He was stunned into silence more than anything and when he didn't respond, she gave a soft sigh. "Sorry, I must have misread. I just thought…I'm sorry."

"What? Good God, no! I'm just…shocked. Surprised, that's all. I never thought in a million years…are you sure you want me? Are you feeling okay?" He asked, still in disbelief.

"Yes," she laughed melodically, "I mean, only if you're interested," she smiled coyly.

"Obviously." He said, with eyes wide behind his glasses.

"Good." She whispered and leaned forward, capturing his lips and brushing her hands through his hair, cradling his face. He knew he was out of practice and had no clue what he was doing, but her kiss felt so right, as if they were meant to fit together. "So, about that date…" she smiled as she pulled away.

"Anything you want. Any time. We could go now, if you're so inclined," he said just a little too eagerly and she laughed.

"Well, I was thinking maybe the day time but--" she joked back, making him feel at ease.

"Whatever's good for you." He muttered, feeling a little silly. She brushed his cheek gently with her fingertips, trying to cue him to make a move.

He luckily took the hint and kissed her goodnight.

6.6.23 Tuesday

Still, alive angels... I have the paranoia and thinking of future.... I have mixed-up that I need to stretch coz of my sciatica/ priformis/ pelvic pain. I feel fat and ugly....

Anyways, the friend of RV (Carlo ) they dropped off RV and Janna, they are just here for vacation but will be going back to Myanmar... They just got back from their bonding session...

I have memory lapse, natural memory lapse coz it's been a long time... I thought Carlo is RV's friend in Immaculate Conception Academy but Carlo corrected me that they met in De La Salle and he is now married with a Myanmar girl and 1 kid 8 years old now....Wow! Carlo got a foreigner...

youtube

2:54 am

Done, showering and I can't sleep... Argh! So, hot without AC ( we have ac but we can't open it due to tight budgeting )... I must used shirt coz my right armpit there is a trapped hair follicle, it musn't rub on the skin...

I still have windblow trap... I wanna leave the hometown for progress.. I need a knight and shining armour ( hoping and praying )...

I need money and job but I don't wanna commute that far.... Frustrating I can't find new friends that I wanted alien that has a good heart and stability to pull me up but I can't exist coz of money shortage...

9:39 am

No signs of life coming from Uncle DD, always and always and a big question mark for me....Aunt Teresa told me just get it from Uncle DD....

Now....What is the conspiracy plan of Uncle DD? No beat of life or swallowed by a dark,deep hole?

Uncle Jun went to baranggay and frustration on his support on Uncle DD...

9:49 am

I just wanna share this angels though tomboyish, was actually.... I also love being a woman...

My make-up kit....My first make-up kit was stolen in my room.... I grew-up having roller blades and make-up kit but I think I never actually enjoy the roller blades coz I was not good at it but I'm so good on biking even mountain bikes...

My medium of language is "Taglish" angels...Later will put everything on English....I'm thinking of money now and waiting for signs of life coming from Uncle DD...

youtube

11:05 am

I borrowed food from ate Liza's Carinderia'Z and these issues is an old issues that if Uncle DD conspiracy plan will continue here but he will keep on nagging about his cheapness...It is so crazy angels...

I badly need help on someone having an upper intellectual ability, someone who can see and analyze things without judging me, angels...

This Uncle Jun seems withdrawing on something here...It is a big question mark, as well...

2:03 pm

This Cavite is full of mystery....I hate being stuck like this...

Another observation on Uncle Jun, it seems sometimes he is having split or soul interference... Like last night he played songs from his mobile in full tagalog and I told him strange... Coz from the past months he played English song in 80's on his mobile speaker... He always put that most of the time on the kitchen table...

3:56 pm

Text of Uncle DD but I still don't like them being here ( the idea of how the family should flow inside the family tribe or circle )...No extra something and he will be a father figure for Aunt Karen's son but no extra coffee and that's it??? No box of biscuits...

Ugly situation here... Something is not right on Uncle DD that I'm gonna be stuck forever...

I had have the windblow still... I have deep smile lines!

4:52 pm

It seems a gateway for Uncle DD to take my place in this world to appear as a college graduate but me as a college graduate it seems they are smashing unfairly... Punching me that I don't even know...

9:12 pm

Giving that food money as 2500 is not enough angels... What about the hygiene our bathroom soap...I hate that particular group here in the entire Philippines that they just eat and they don't shower or brush or clean their penis or vagina... For God's sake, it was taught in the school and as a mature middle-class or educated people... We should do our hygiene... Why, they are punching me unfairly???

Imagine you will have a scaly penis or smelly vagina....It is not good angels... We need to do hygiene...

So, difficult to find an educated partner....HIV is existing again angels... I'm careful and aware... I had HPV shot...

It is not good to rub the penis if it's dirty angels to a vagina that is clean...

Plus, it is hygiene... All of my exes were clean....Rocky the Big, JP the butt king and Ryan the XL...

But now... I'm kinda doubting on everyone and most specially on JP the butt king...

hiiiii el! i have a strange doodle request, which is as such: draw what maps by the yeah yeah yeahs feels like to you! idk i think i remember you like that song (if you don't whoops lol, please feel free to draw a song of your choice) and i feel like it's such an emotion-provoking song

celie i hope you know you sent me the most wonderful art request ever and when i saw it i like. started vibrating. but anyways i had the time of my life doing this and it has evolved from a doodle into a full on thing that i posted separately (tw for bright colors) that i did research for and in that research i discovered that this song has several layers of lore so this post exists to educate those about the history and impact of maps on modern society (ft. beyonce) as well as my thumb ailing process because i love talking about that kind of think and i feel like it fulfills the request more than the actual piece does so! it’s Maps Time

so there isn’t really as much lore as i let on but there are several layers of it so i think i’ll start with the music video which i only learned one (1) fun fact about: the tears were real because karen o’s boyfriend at the time was supposed to show up to filming but didn’t. that made me sad. i love karen o. that is the extent of the music video lore.

OKAY BEYONCÉ. beyoncé has a song you may have heard of called lemonade, and in this song she credits none other than ezra koenig (of vampire weekend) and people were wondering why on Earth ezra koenig is credited in a beyoncé song so mr. koenig took to twitter in 2016:

so essentially: maps by the yeah yeah yeahs + a tweet by ezra koenig = part of beyoncé’s lemonade. this fascinates me.

THIS IS WHERE THE ART TALK BEGINS AND THE MAPS TALK ENDS (KIND OF NOT REALLY)

so here’s the thumbnailing canvas where i kept the request in mind and put actual thought into it vs. the final piece where i just. did what i wanted to. that’s kind of why i wanted to explain this part so i could prove that at one point i was indeed thinking about this

actual thumbnails (four squares at the top): these were the first things i did with the sole thought of “hey! this was one of the first songs i fully learned on guitar!” in mind which i ended up dropping because it’s not really an emotion per se? just something that would show up in the elleroodles category on jeopardy. the only other thing i want to mention about these is that the far right is my school because i liked the vibes of the “my kind’s your kind” lyric and associate school dances with hanging out with my friends outside these giant garage doors in the middle of the main hall. the rest of these were drawn with the chorus in mind

palettes (left): so i went into this with the eyestrainy colors of fever to tell in mind (the first three thumbnails) before remembering that the single exists and then i pulled a palette from that- the sketchy school paper doodle vibes were what i had in mind for that last thumbnail. i ended up using both of these for the final piece and i think that may be why it seems so !,!);!;!(!!;!(&?&@393 but Hey it is what it is. also here’s the full palettes because i what procreate make them for me (hoping anthony fantano doesn’t see this)

the imagery (bottom right hand corner stuff): i drew imagery from three main sources (and then ended up using none of it): the lyrical content, music video, and my own personal ties to the song. lyrical content was kind of hard for me, i’m notorious for having no relationship experience and have been pining after the same girl for three years so i’m not all that knowledgeable on the concept presented in the song so there aren’t a whole lot of strong points in that area, but what i do have a lot of experience in is school dances! i originally wanted to do a whole lot with that setting but when i started drawing the final i used None of my ideas and just did whatever popped into my brain so unfortunately none of this made it past the final cut (i would like to do something along these lines again one day, i cannot stress how fun this request was for me!!). there’s also personal experience, which is mostly just my ties to this song being that i learned to play it on the guitar early on. that’s kind of the extent of it.

i think that might be all i have to say? idk there’s a Lot and i’m not sure how many people will read this essay but if you do I HOPE YOU ENJOYED and if you’re celie then i love you and tysm for sending me this request because i had so much fun with all this planning and research :-)

actual post here

#see since it’s an art ask from celie i feel like i need to ramble in the tags #but i’ve rambled in the post #there’s not a whole lot more to say #i am sitting on my bedroom floor listening to fearless #i just fixed up my mom’s old CD player so now i can finally listen to my collection of taylor swift albums predating 2015 #i was going through all my old cds the other day and found it with a price tag from hastings of all places #there are so many bangers on this album i’m exicted for the rereleases #i miss hastings #i also bought so many 1d albums there #now i need to post the post #post this #then go play undertale #i’m stuck on the final mtt bit #i also need to shovel the driveway before my mom gets home #hmmm #maybe undertale can wait #okay i think i’ve done enough talking now so that these tags look filled up?#ily celie #💖💘💗💘💞💘💞💗💘💘💖💗💖💞#celie tag #el answers asks #the wip tag

Spider-Man Far From Home spoilers

I just finished watching it and, honestly, I’d say it was a pretty good way to bid farewell to the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Spoilers under the cut. This is pretty long and rambly.

1. Midtown high is supposed to be a school for geniuses but these little shits use comic sans in tribute videos and steal watermarked Getty Images pictures to put in them. I loved it, particularly with the song choice and the fact that Vision’s picture was from the Civil War airport standoff in Leipzig — that means only Peter could’ve provided it and no one bothered to ask how he got it.

2. Tom Holland really wasn’t kidding when he said the film was a love letter to RDJ/Tony Stark. He was everywhere, his sacrifice was being recognised around the world: they even had a documentary on him, which was available in the in-flight entertainment, plus, there were murals and photographs in Venice and Prague. He was very much present throughout the film.

3. EDITH. In a nutshell, it’s an augmented reality-enabled AI that controls a tactical and defensive system Tony built to protect Earth in the aftermath of his demise. Think Ultron’s perfect self minus the winning personality — EDITH controls a bunch of massive Stark Industries satellites in orbit that are equipped with thousands of weaponised drones. It can remotely target individual threats and take them out with simple voice commands. It also is able to connect to any network in the vicinity, so, Peter was able to see what his classmates were doing on their devices.

I’ve already seen so many angry posts comparing EDITH to Project Insight without taking into account a) intent; and b) the reality of the MCU. Tony didn’t build EDITH for the same reason Zola built Project Insight. The former was meant to be a last or first line of defence, controlled by an Avenger Tony personally trusted. The latter was a means to subjugate the world population to Hydra’s will.

All tech in the MCU is dangerous when it falls into the wrong hands — that’s why they’re called the wrong hands and why Steve once said the safest hands are their own. The supersoldier serum gave us Steve Rogers; it also gave us the Winter Soldiers, a bunch of dangerous, invincible highly-trained assassins. Pym particles gave us Ant-Man and the Wasp as well as time travel; it also gave us Yellowjacket, who immediately wanted to weaponise the tech. The Iron Man suit gave us Iron Man; but also gave us Iron Monger, who wanted to build an army of metal soldiers. Wakanda’s highly-advanced weapon systems were able to withstand a full-scale invasion from the Outriders, but those same weapons almost started a global war in Killmonger’s hands. Project Insight and Ultron showed us the bad side of AI; JARVIS, Vision, FRIDAY, Karen and EDITH, to an extent, showed us the good side of AI.

The point is, technology in the wrong hands will always be a bad thing yet people only seem to gripe about Stark tech while ignoring every other piece of advanced technology we’ve seen weaponized or misused. I wonder why. Since the MCU canonically isn’t made up of one big Luddite colony, there’ll always be new technology being developed and bad guys finding ways to abuse them.

Just look at the holographic tech Mysterio designed while at Stark Industries. Even before he was fired, his ambitions were grander and afterwards, he weaponized it and willingly sent people to their dooms so that he could play a hero. When 16-year-old Peter Parker, MJ and Ned — literal children — found out the truth and Mysterio risked being exposed as a fraud, he actively tried to kill them. Mysterio beat the shit out of Peter and threw him in front of an incoming high-speed train, so, no, I don’t care if Tony Stark was mean to him by firing him, he was a piece of shit who tried repeatedly to kill a kid.

Tony, meanwhile, spent $600+ million on the holographic tech to design B.A.R.F — a technology with some really promising applications in the MedTech sector to help people overcome their PTSD and trauma. That’s the fucking difference between a superhero and a supervillain.

Sure, EDITH also has massive privacy concerns. That’s on Tony, but after the Decimation, I think people have bigger problems to worry about than whether Peter Parker is snooping on their text messages. Ultimately, EDITH offers Peter, and whoever else is going to fill up the Avengers roster in the future, a plan B to strike the bad guys from a safe distance. I

4. Tony left Peter in charge of EDITH. Not the Avengers, not SHIELD, and definitely not the US Department of Defense — a fact that actually pissed off Mysterio. Tony left it in Peter’s hands because he knew Spider-Man took the meaning of responsibility far more seriously than he ever did. All those years ago, Peter told him if one could do the things he could, and they didn’t, and then the bad things happened, they happened because of them. And, honestly, if anyone deserves to have control over such a potentially dangerous piece of tech that can help in future battles, then it’s Peter — even more so than Tony.

5. Again, Peter is 16 in this film and still coping with loss and trauma. He willingly gave controls of EDITH to Quentin because Mysterio had everyone fooled, including Nick Fury/Talos — they’re both highly experienced soldiers. Fooling them wouldn’t have been easy and Mysterio’s plan was extremely well thought-out and perfectly executed. Peter redeem himself in the end and takes back control of EDITH.

6. Peter and MJ were super adorable. Spider-Man is the only franchise apart from Iron Man, where the secondary lead characters are allowed to grow without it all being about the main hero. MJ is allowed to explore her feelings for Peter and measure them against Brad’s affection. Ned is allowed to also grow in his character and be more than Spider-Man’s best friend/guy in a chair.

7. Happy and May were also adorable.

8. Happy ruined a perfectly good bed of tulips just to rescue May’s nephew and give him the TLC/pep talk he needed after, again, Beck pushed Peter in front of a high-speed train that would’ve killed an ordinary person.

9. Peter confusing ACDC with Led Zeppelin is the most Gen Z thing ever. Happy watched Peter design his own suit and it reminded him of the times he spent watching Tony tinker in his lab. You could feel Tony’s absence pretty viscerally in that scene on the jet.

10. Peter tingle. Lol.

11. Happy’s words about Tony were beautiful. He said something along the lines of, “Tony was my best friend. He second-guessed everything he did. He was a mess. But the one thing he didn’t second-guess was picking you.” That really furthered the Iron Dad Spider Son narrative.

12. Iron Zombie was the w o r s t thing ever. Again, Beck emotionally manipulated 16-year-old Peter Parker and said if Peter was any good, his mentor would still be alive just as he projected an illusion of a decaying Iron Man corpse attacking him. To give you a sense of how manipulative he really is, he told his guy in the chair that Peter’s blood will be on his hands because he had failed to report a missing drone part that MJ had discovered in Prague.

13. Peter finally understanding that he doesn’t have to be the next Tony Stark or Iron Man. He just needs to be the next Spider-Man and Peter Parker.

14. Peter choosing to safeguard EDITH.

15. J. Jonah Jameson and J.K. Simmons. That is all. He’s the MCU equivalent of Alex Jones and I love him so much. I wonder if this means we’ll see Doctor Strange offer Peter his help to erase everyone’s memories about the reveal of his secret identity.

16. Every Nick Fury scene automatically becomes 2000x funnier when you realize it’s Talos posing as Fury and 90% of the time, he has no idea what the fuck is going on and he’s just winging it as he goes along. Also, he was furious that he and his wife, as members of a shapeshifting species, were unable to detect Mysterio’s ruse.

17. Mysterio was a douchebag. Apart from trying to kill actual kids because he feared they might expose him, he did nothing worthy of a hero. He was jealous and angry about Tony, and he wanted to usurp Iron Man without doing any of the hard work. He willingly put people in danger, was prepared to sacrifice people to make his actions seem more realistic and wanted to take credit for saving the day and preventing an Avengers-level catastrophe. I’ve already seen reviewers trying to sympathise with Mysterio, and his persistent attempts to kill a 16-year-old kid because Tony was apparently mean to him.

18. And, no, Tony did not steal B.A.R.F tech from Mysterio as some review sites are claiming. The narrative is unreliable at best because we hear only Quentin’s point of view — the same Quentin who had been using his holographic tech to deceive people and put them in harm’s way because he wanted to shake the Queen’s hands or some misguided bullshit. He deserved to fired. Plus, he was a Stark Industries employee. Tech companies almost always own the patent to whatever tech you design or invent for them when you’re on their payroll. It’s how corporations work.

19. Tony quoted Henry IV to Fury when he told him to give EDITH to Peter and said Spidey wouldn’t get the reference (Heavy is the head that wears the crown) because it’s not Star Wars. It was a nice, poignant moment — made funnier when you realize that’s Talos in disguise, which means at some point, Fury had to have a conversation with him about Shakespeare and Star Wars. Someone pls write the fic.

20. The most important thing is that this film actually tried to address the Decimation. Endgame pretended to gloss over it to give Gay Joe Russo his 15 minutes of fame. But this film actually started with May and Peter organizing an event to help the displaced. Pepper sent a huge check and apologized for not being able to make it in person. :(

20a. I love Jake Gyllenhaal. I had expected Quentin to be a dramatic thot but he really brought a lot of depth to the character.

Overall, I liked the film a lot more than I had anticipated. Some people are going to scrutinize this film to death to prove Tony was the ultimate MCU villain and, hey, if that’s the hill they choose to die on, I don’t really care. After 11 years and 23 films later, if they still think that Tony was the real villain all along, then nothing we say or Marvel does, will change their mind.

Personally, I thought this film was a good send off to Tony, now that they’ve firmly established that Peter Parker/Spider-Man is going to be the new face of the MCU and will carry with him the Iron Man legacy. He wasn’t always right and a lot of his choices tended to backfire but, in the end, his motivations were good and he still went out as the man who saved the world. He, unlike Beck, or Vulture before him, never tried to kill a child, not even when he brought him to a parking lot brawl among friends.

Now, if only Marvel can just leave Tony’s legacy alone and let Peter, and the rest of the MCU, thrive on its own instead of retconning established Iron Man lore to fit new narratives.

I sat down in my living room.It was a long day at work.I grabbed myself a cup of coffee.It was cold.I made it this morning,but i didnt have time to drink it.So i drank it now.I sit down on the couch and put my legs on the arm rest.Flicked on the Tv and cruised through some of the channels.It was the same as usual.There were some reality shows, some basic news, and some movies.None of this interested me.When i thought of something, they added a new channel to the Tv.It was about drama on the internet. At first i thought it was dumb. because why would anybody want to know that? But then i thought why not? Things have been chaotic these past few days so why not get a little kick out of it? I watched the channel for about fifteen minutes.Nothing interesting happened. Mostly people throwing shade at Shane Dawson and Jeffree star.When at one point one youtuber caught my eye. His name was Baka Prase. These youtubers came out doing something controversial or saying something controversial.But this one.. oh my..he had no shame.He got on the youtuber news for doing one very very strange thing. He tried to make children with an actual pig. People were making fun of him for having the name Baka Prase(Grandma pig).

While he was still just a mere human. Obviously they were trolls and five yo.

But this fucking dumbass was so braindead that he tried to make half human half pig kids.And not only that but he swallowed three inflated ballons to improve his vocal cords. Some person told him that his songs were horrible and that he cant sing and he should practice by expanding his throat by swallowing inflated baloons.EIther this was a hater trying to kill him or some random Karen who actually thought this would work.And now he has AIDS and lung cancer. I was astonished.How could this bitchass be so dumb? And then i remembered something.. I had a little cousin who was a big fan of his.He wanted to marry him. And i thought i had to stop him. So i ran to my uncles house to stop him from proposing but i was too late. There i saw my cousin and the bitchass kissing and hugging with chickfile discount ring pops on their fingers.I was so scared sick and disgusted. It reminded me of that one time i was in a taco bell bathroom. But then a shimmering spark of hope burst through the window. It was none other than our late king Harambe.Everybody in the room started crying involunarily(that is the side effect if seeing his glory). He spoke in a storng godlike voice with soft melodies that sounded like they were sung by my chemical romance, filled the air. He said Child... Do not mrry this dumbass bitch. For i command you to, because i am the lord of eveything. My cousin and that dumb pig excalimed angrily We shall not we love each other too much that is why we shall have pig children. Harambe spoke in a calm yet intimidating voice Then ishall have to let the fury of Ugandan Knuckles on you.From a distance you could hear a noise so horrifying,so petrifying that turned the wine on the table into water. It sounded like clicking.. no snapping... oh no wait it was the war cry of the Knuckles. That is when the baka prase pig said the most dumb thing in the world. Ide gas tebra. in that moment through the door burst a giant red monster.

It made a clicking sound and spoke one thing.

D O Y O U K N O W D A W A Y ?

AT THAT MOMENT I JUMPED OUT OF THE WINDOW TO ESCAPE THE HORROR SHOW THAT WILL COME. I RAN WHERE MY LEGS CARRIED ME AND THATS HOW I ENDED UP HERE. A GIRL IN A VILLAGE DOING ALRIGHT AND THEN I BECAME A PRINCESS OVERNIGHT.nOW I GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO ITN RIGHT SO MUCH TO LEARN AND SEE. UP IN THE CASTLE WITH MY NEW FAMILY IN A SCHOOL THATS JUST FOR ROYALTY IM SO EXCITED TO BE SOFIA THE FIRSTTTTTT!!!!!!!

Kinda random but I like to recommend songs for fics I read and so.. The Moon Song by Karen O for "Evil Actions and Good Intentions"?

Oh god, this song is so appropriate. I can’t help but think this would work with the more romantic/introspective scenes when it’s just Harold and Sigma together, before they get together and before they give in to what they really want. For anyone that wants to hear, you can find it on this link

In commemoration, consider this an ‘after-the-credits’ scene.

Flying just above their heads is a body in the shape and form of Harold Winston. It’s not Harold Winston, just a robot that looks enough like him, but it’s still there on the moon, lifeless but permanent. Long after he dies on Earth, his counterpart will still be there, unaffected by petty things like dust and decay and gravity.

It gets harder and harder to look up at the moon, not because his vision is failing or that his body is getting older, but because he can’t bear to look at it without being remembered of his past. With each passing day, it feels less and less like his own past, and more like the transplanted memories of someone he once knew. His first meeting with baby Winston, the kiss he shared with a younger Siebren de Kuiper, the choking grasp of space, the endless maze of stars that glitter in front of the telescope, it all feels a million miles away.

He is a million miles away, he clarifies. A part of him is. Or at least it feels like he is. And the rest of him is here, adrift on a planet that only recently felt like home again, forced to stare at his old home far above the Earth’s atmosphere.

There’s a shift in the air behind him. The man known as Sigma is behind him, pressing his fingers into the meat of his shoulders. The song that’s playing from the speaker is quiet against the rushing waves.

“You’re thinking again,” Sigma whispers.

“You ever miss Harold and Siebren?” Charon asks. That’s his moniker now. His new name. He’s long acknowledged that Harold Winston is dead.

Sigma doesn’t answer for a few seconds. “Whatever do you mean?”

“I don’t know, just...” he sighs. “Sometimes I wish we could have what they had. Easy, safe, comfortable.”

“They were literally separated for months at a time. Their relationship had to handle the strain of time and space. I’m sure they had their doubts throughout the relationship whether it was worth all that wait for such fleeting moments.”

“Perhaps, but...” Charon sighs. “They must have had something special. Every time I see the moon, I’m reminded of the primates, the experiments and...them, strangely enough.” He shakes his head. “It sounds stupid, doesn’t it?”

“It’s not stupid. It’s only normal for men of our age to reminisce fondly of the past. But they had their own struggles, just like we have our own. No relationship is the same, even if it’s with the same people.”

Charon scoffs. “I thought we’ve agreed that Harold and Siebren are gone.”

“You know what I mean,” Sigma says. “We’ve established this. We’re not who we used to be anymore.”

He settles next to Charon, staring at the moon. The song changes, and Sigma quietly hums along. Harold joins in too, strangely pulled in by Sigma’s melodic humming. Soon, Sigma’s singing, just barely louder than the singer’s voice and the rushing wind. It reminds him of when he was Harold over a decade ago, accidentally catching Siebren singing along to a tune in the comfort of his bedroom. It was a fairly simple tune, to the point that Harold almost thought Siebren composed it himself. Siebren never had the best singing in the world, and neither does Sigma, but they both sing from the heart.

For a brief moment Charon is suddenly aware of his mortality. Soon, there’ll come a time when Charon and Sigma must both lay to rest with Harold and Siebren. The end could come any day. That’d be the ultimate distance, loving someone even in death. They’ve both had experience with that. No one’s love is strong enough to stay strong after that divide.

“What are you thinking about now?” Sigma asks.

“Nothing,” Charon frowns. “Just...happy to be here with you. I can be by your side until the end of time.”

Sigma lets out a small smile. “That’s one thing we’ve got over Harold and Siebren, don’t we?”

Charon smiles despite himself. “We do, don’t we. We don’t have the atmosphere to separate us. Just the gaps between our atoms.”

Sigma wraps his arm around Charon’s shoulder. “We’ll never need to be apart again.”

“Never,” Charon utters, conviction in his voice. He’ll fight heaven, Earth, and everything in between to be reunited with Sigma. He has, and he will. “We won’t allow for it. Not anymore.”

Sigma shows his affirmation with the lightest squeeze of Charon’s shoulder, and the briefest, most dazzling smile.
