autumnal my love !!! i am copying you right now because i NEEEEEED to know your answer to the same question — what are your favorite hcs about your self-ships? 🥺🤲

pls share as many as you want, i want to know them ALL !!!!

Medusa I love you so very much.thank you for sending this,,,, I wasn’t sure I was gonna answer this right now because I’m not doing too well mentally but I think that’s exactly why I should ! I need all the comfort I can get

ok hm

first I’ll start with suguru & cheering me up because,, :)

he can read a room so well,, and he can read me like I’m a bright red stop sign. a majority of the time, he already knows when something is wrong— but he also knows that I’ll come to him when I’m ready to talk about it. He’s VERY patient with me (because sometimes I don’t know how to approach overwhelming emotions) but our communication skills are top notch.

in addition, he knows just how to comfort me. If I’m crying, he immediately goes in to hold me or cuddle. He won’t say anything— after I get all my tears out, he’ll gently kiss my cheeks and slowly get up to get me a cup of water (if I allow him). He starts talking after I’ve calmed down, asking if I wanna go for a drive knowing I’ll say yes. He keeps some sort of physical contact with me at all times wether it’s his hand on my thigh or holding my hand,,, he’s very attentive.

NOW I wanna talk about which Halloween/autumn events that each of my faves would do with me.

Suguru would definitely be pumpkin carving. Are u joking. it was a surprise plan for me!! he picked me up from school & we headed to the pumpkin patch! Then we’d get home and to my surprise, there’s a blanket set up with unlit candles, a speaker, and two carving sets!! we would have a whole competition!!! Until we give up and help each other with the most difficult parts (the detail work). He let me play my Halloween playlist too😌😌

Kuroo would find the best Halloween parties to fulfill my “fucking at a large house party” scenario. It would actually be a whole scene. We’d show up to the party separate and slowly make our way back to each other— kinda like Andy and April (parks and rec ref)

VASH DOES MOVIE NIGHTS!!!!! He goes all out by decorating the room in the coziest but Halloweenish decor— LOTS of candles, blankets, and throw pillows. Spiderwebs, bats, cauldron mugs for our drinks, orange fairy lights and furniture forts. Oh and it’s not on a Tv… it’s via PROJECTOR. His lineup is no in particular order but Halloweentown, Coraline, hocus pocus, nightmare before Christmas, and Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban are DEFINITELY on there.

Draken is… halloween horror nights. (This idea is thanks to angel because we were talking … and her boyfriend does this for her and THIS is the only way I would ever go. Ever.) now he knows I am a full WUSS. I hate being scared but I know that he wants me to go (he goes with the boys but he also wants to have a night with me too) so we came up with an agreement. He guides me through everything— he stands in back of me, both hands on my shoulders as he walks me through the park so that way I feel secure and he gets to watch me scream my ass off while also being together and having the satisfaction of “protecting” me. Besides, I know he would literally kill anyone for me so I’m lowkey turned on the whole time

#autumnal’s regulars !#medusa ♥︎#thank you for sending this in my love—#MAAAAASSSSSIVE kisses for u

Ok what?? Drunk anon here again and you’re a stan of me?? Girl please. I am your biggest stan. Don’t make me get into a brawl of affection with you! I’ll do it! Test me! (Without knowing me I feel like this sounds very aggressive lol - but it’s just my poor sense of humour, I promise I love you really)

Anywho, Yoongi’s list. This felt like Sophie’s choice. It may make me a basic bitch, but I am a Min/Kid gal till death do part these fics and I. Heart is forever clenched when reading these two, and I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that ALL your Yoongi fics are my faves. I read them front to back, top to bottom, on the regular. BUT, a list had to be made, so here we go.

Absolute absolute absolute faves:

When I say I love you forever, that’s what I mean.

My number one turn on in life is communication. Anyone I invest time into, friends, family or romance is someone I feel comfortable to pouring my heart out to, and vice versa with wanting to hear them give it all to me too. Holding meaningful conversation and feeling heard. So, I think what I loved about this fic is seeing someone as aloof as Yoongi (even though we both know he’s not actually that aloof and he’s just a honey boy) feeling comfortable enough to open up to Kid, and showing he obviously cares about her so much that he genuinely wants to listen to what she has to say. That’s literally all I want in a partner. Also good conversation AND smut? Is it Christmas?

You know I prefer apple jacks

I am a hopeless romantic at heart, who’s had an ever evolving wedding Pinterest board since 2011. And PROUD. So the way this spoke to the little girl living inside of me who has engagement and proposal fantasies. GAH. I just loved everything about this. Yoongi’s sincerity, Kid’s goofy banter. All of it. I will be sending this to any potential candidates who want to become my future husband or wife so they can take notes. Love.

I’d so take you down in a riff off

The world IS DROWNED OUT WHEN YOONGI IS SPEAKING. Period. Same Kid - I get you girl. I just love how soft yet flirty he is with Kid, but then so unbothered with everyone else. This is the exact kind of dynamic I am here for! Also love.

You look like Medusa

Sleepy Min in bed + banter = a swooning drunk anon

Honourable mentions that I also adore with all my heart:

- You should kiss a girl before you leave

- Why would you have the condoms clear across the room from the bed?

- You’re always going to be enough, Kid

- I can’t eat my cup of noodles because the microwave is an asshole

- I’m not walking out on you >> Don’t ever write a cypher about me, I’ll cry

- If your plan was to seduce me upon arrival, it’s working

- I love you more than coffee

- Keep it cute, Min. I’m not fucking you in the dorm shower

- I know it’s 4 am but it’s snowing

- My hands smell like gingerbread

I’m gonna spread these out a bit cause I get they’re LONG, but I can’t stop… I’m having way too much fun with this haha.

Love drunk anon, x

:(( we stan each other and it's cute! We're cute! But I will brawl you, bring it!

I'm cackling at you calling this Sophie's choice hahaha. Loving min/kid doesn't make you basic, it just means you have taste like all the rest of the lovelies <3 I'm so happy to hear you love them all so much aahhh that makes MY heart clench :(

Ok your top favs??? I'm so fond. "When I say I love you forever, that's what I mean" is still one of the fics I'm most proud of bc of how like lowkey but intimate it is and yeah, I'm so excited you enjoyed it so much. And I LOVE that you have a wedding pinterest board with no shame, as you should!!! When I tell you min and kid's proposal is 100 percent what I'd want 😩 was definitely living vicariously through kid there lol. Also yes, we love yoongi just being completely absorbed in kid that he forgets anyone else even exists, that's truly the dream. AND OMG! the medusa one- nearly forgot it existed but ahhh it was so fun to write. And your honorable mentions :( I'm just so happy that you love these so much, it's seriously making my day right now. Thanks for compiling these lists and putting your time and energy into this, it's seriously so sweet and it's making me so soft <3

I hope you're having a good week so far! 🧡

#drunk anon #asks #p.s. the lovelies love you lol and like same #you're just the sweetest :( ily

how would shinsou be like as a boyfriend?

an anon requested: Ooooo can I get your thoughts on how would Shinsou be as a bf please ? I saw the other ones you did and!! I died they're so good!! Thank u!!

character: shinsou hitoshi

genre: fluff

note: gotta give my baby some love, so here’s shinsou being a whole boyfriend ♡

— medusa.

in general

- first of all, please be gentle with him

- opening up isn’t easy for him, sadly

- he isn’t the type to approach people first, so it will have to be you who strikes the first conversation

- that doesn’t mean you didn’t catch his eye, though

- takes a lot of effort to get him out of his shell

- which means lots of talking before he warms up to you

- if he starts opening conversations outside of class

- that’s when you know you’ve made it

- after school hangouts happen frequently and before you know it, they turn into dates

- not that you know, of course, he asks you out discreetly

- like you don’t even know it’s a date, but it’s a date

- will most likely confess once you two are close

- it scares him because of the possibility of losing you if you don’t return to his feelings

- which isn’t the case because you clearly like him back

- in the dating phase, he isn’t too touchy in the beginning

- why is that? because he’s easily flustered

- you could brush your fingers against his by accident, and his cheeks would be tinged in crimson

- his face is devoid of emotion, but the color gives it all away

- but as the relationship progresses, he warms up to holding your hand in public

- he leaves the romantic side of him in private

cuddles

- the first time you scoot closer to him on the couch, he raises a brow

- and when you lean against his frame, he tenses up completely

- shinsou suddenly becomes a solid ass log

- poor boy malfunctions

- he panics in lowkey with his lips pressed into a straight, tight line

- what should he do?

- lean back?

- put an arm around you?

- ask if you’re feeling okay?

- he does neither of the mentioned actions and settles for patting your head

- like ... what??

- but lemme tell you a soft shinsou patting your head is nice and comforting since his hands are so freaking large

- but it’s only like that the first time

- he learns by the second time

- second time’s a charm, after all

- hooks an arm around your shoulder to accept your frame against his own, chin atop the crown of your head

- prefers cuddling in private

- his cheeks can’t handle too much of physical affection in public

- since he’s constantly tired, you can expect him to drape himself on you by the end of the day

- a tired hero is a clingy hero

- inserts his face against the crook of your neck as his arms wrap around your torso

- and heavily inhales the scent of your body wash until it’s permanent in his memory

- play !! with !! his !! hair !!!!!

- he’ll be knocked out in a matter of seconds as soon as you rake your fingers through his hair

kisses

- good at kissing

- even if he doesn’t have much of experience, or any at all, he just

- he’s a natural at kissing

- his lips are really soft

- king of gentle kisses

- and lazy ones

- bless this boy

- it always feels like the first time whenever he kisses you

- like the sparky feeling? it’s that all the time

- only ever gives you forehead kisses in public

- the first time he kissed your forehead at ua

- students were on your asses for days

- he’s weirded out by the news that spread quickly around campus

- “... is my personal life that big of a deal?”

- it’s only a big deal because first of all, he isn’t an open book to the student body

- second, you two are that cute

- all cool when it comes to him kissing you, but when you initiate it, he goes nuts

- the type to cup your cheek or hold your chin between his thumb and index finger

- while looking you straight in the eye for a few moments before diving in for a kiss

- he uses his kisses as a form to express the love he can’t exactly show

- all the words he holds back, all the physical affection in public

- all of those emotions poured into the pace he sets in kisses

overall

- he really takes his time when in a relationship

- doesn’t want to be rushed

- sets his own pace for everything, so please be patient with him

- he loves you, he really does, but the past has a way of affecting the present

- but he’s trying and getting better !!

- just give him a moment to pick himself up

- honestly the best boyfriend because he’s considerate of how you feel

- is there for you all the time

- willing to give pretty much his all

- GREAT WITH ADVICE

- legit, he’s great at advice and if you need help with anything, you can catch him at your door with open arms

- overall, please just be patient with him

- give this boy a chance

gabe to me is just *hmm* perfect in this movie, he’s not as mean in the movies but he’s still an asshole ehehehe

i love Chiron actor i think it’s very accurate

also wtf chiron is bros with the big three lols 😹

‘This is a pen. This is a pen.’

‘Are you guys crazy? This is a pen man!’

why y’all give percy the pen before he supposed to be a badass and rip the horn off wjth his hands but ig

I'm bored so here's an essay draft for school

Please don't kill me guys I don't have 100% facts and I'm just having fun aifhasifjaa -

Why The Greek Gods Are Problematic

(Persuasive Essay)

The general public are under the impression that Zeus is the All Father. This is probably due to how he gets portrayed in media (For example; the Disney movie Hercules) - However, in reality, Zeus is a bad god, father and husband.

For example;

In history, it isn’t uncommon for Zeus to be the father of most of the heroines. In fact it would take more time to name the kids that aren’t Zeus’s.

Zeus may be the god in charge of the Pantheon, but it doesn’t mean he can’t be a tyrannical ruler and unfaithful husband.

Cheats on his wife Hera a lot, even if the woman isn’t interested. Including Helen of Troys mother Leda, Perseus’s mother Danae, and another woman named Europa.

Has a lot of children both with woman who did and didn’t consent, he never really bothers with them and Hera usually tries to kill both them and their mothers because she can’t control her cheating husband.

Hera is his sister. Have fun with that one.

He also slept with Demeter who is also his sister and that’s how Persephone was born.

He killed his first wife Metis because he decided his sister was prettier. Metis was Athena’s mother, who was born out of Zeus’s thigh because Zeus tricked Metis into turning herself into a fly and he ate her.

He got mad at Prometheus for making sure humans wouldn’t freeze to death by stealing them fire from the underworld, so Zeus punished Prometheus by chaining him up and letting an eagle eat his liver every day, which would regrow because he’s a wife.

He engineered Pandora and we all know how that went. Women are the scourge of the earth, box full of sins, blah blah blah.

Likes to throw temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way.

Thinks he’s All That™ because he’s the head god of the Pantheon.

Not Zeus, but his wife Hera did throw baby Hephaestus off of a mountain because he was ‘’ugly’’.

Next up is Apollo

I like Apollo but the dude needs to stop falling in love with mortals

They keep getting turned into flowers

Either voluntarily so they don’t have to date Apollo (He can get a little desperate) or through an accidental death because some other god or mortal get jealous.

Where to begin with Aphrodite

Massive shipper, even worse than fandom girls

Will kill if her otp doesn’t happen

Will also kill if the person she likes doesn’t like her back

Gets mad if she doesn’t win beauty contests

Married to Ares but y’know doesn’t stop her from wooing every other mortal

Almost as bad as Zeus

Goddess of love and fertility and being lowkey obsessive

Athena

Smart, goddess of wisdom, but also kinda mean

Honestly isn’t that problematic, she’s fair

Gave Medusa a snake head to keep the man who assaulted her (Poseidon) in Athena’s temple away

Had a weaving competition with a girl called Arachne who thought she could best Athena, weaved all the people Zeus slept with which was obviously weird for Athena. When Arachne lost she tried to kill herself so Athena basically told her to stop being dramatic and turned her into a spider. Now she can weave all she wants.

Ares

God of dumb war.

Likes war in general

Helped Aphrodite cheat on her husband

Poseidon

Read Athena’s paragraph

Had a relationship with a twelve year old sea nymph boy called Nerites

Turned Nerites into a shrimp

Had a crush on Demeter (who is his sister so you know not surprising) and when she turned into a mare to get away from him, he turned into a stallion. And this is how baby horses named Arian are made.

Has a really bad temper, typical god. He would cause almost fatal (sometimes very fatal) storms over the littlest of things.

Thinks he’s a lady killer but really isn’t. It’s more literal honestly.

Doesn’t know what people need. When he and Athena were fighting over who would get to name Athens (Guess who won), they had a competition. Whoever could provide for the city better would win and get to name it. Poseidon gave them a salt water fountain which obviously couldn’t be drunk from (Because people can’t drink salt water), and Athena gave them an olive tree. And as everyone knows, most of Greece’s trade is based on olives and their products.

- So yeah that's It

The Lightning Thief Musical reaction post (you all knew this was coming lbr)

SO FUCKING GOOD

I have joked previously that the show ‘wasn’t in any danger of a tony nom’ and I would like to officially rescind that comment and apologize. get this show to broadway now it Deserves to be there

the quick changes, both on the human characters and the monsters, were just....outrageous okay I’m not used to that sfdjsjd. they were VERY slick with the whole riptide sword/pen deal, and the set changes happened very quick and naturally and didn’t take away from the scenes.

the lighting designer honestly went the fuck off I thought I was at a fucking concert at points. there WAS a lot of flashing lights at points, which I wasn’t expecting and wished I got a heads up for, but also dying at a percy jackson musical would have been EXTREMELY on brand for me so maybe they were just keeping that in mind

the mics and sound could’ve been a little better- there was a few instances of the singing getting drowned out by the music (I lost Grover during ‘Tree On The Hill’ and Percy in both his dream sequences, my friend had absolutely no idea what was going on for the entirety of ‘D.O.A.’) and there were a few times where actors started talking before their mics were switched on but. It wasn’t anything too terrible and didn’t take away from anything so that’s good!

listen- I’ll openly admit that I’m just not usually crazy about dancing in musicals, like. sure big dance numbers can be fun but I don’t *need* them to enjoy a show, you know? a lot of the choreo in this show was really good but there were some parts where I was just like ‘why are you doing that’, notably ‘Campfire Song’, I’m sorry, what was going on there

WHY WAS POSIEDON’S VOICE LIKE THAT

Mrs. Dodds letting out that screech of ‘KROOOONOOOOOS’ with the ominous music and green lighting took me OUT

I’ve listened to the soundtrack a million times and I don’t even LIKE the song ‘My Grand Plan’, I think it’s the weakest one in the show, but Kristin Stokes gave such an outstanding and powerful performance of it that I was brought to tears, what the actual fuck, go see that girl live before you die

I’ll admit I didn’t know how Chris McCarrell was gonna pull off the ‘preteen boy’ part of it but tbh??? he really had it down, the only time it ever felt over the top was in ‘Strong’ but I think that’s just because his lines in that are a bit awkward lol

he was SO GOOD as the lead though, he really gave a great performance and I just. love Percy lmao so it was great to see

the guy who played like...Chiron, Medusa, Hades, Poseidon, an Ares’ girl a farmer and probably someome else I’m missing....hi what the fuck? character actor of our generation? If I didn’t know it was a 7 person cast I literally would have thought they were all different people wtf he was awesome

Poseidon and Sally flirting in front of Percy dear God

“that’s your dad” I screamed

I was well aware of the thunderstorm sound effects and yet they caught me off guard every. single. time.

tragically I was not hit in the face with toilet paper, but that confetti canon nearly took me out....I’m literally still finding pieces help

listen. I’m still seeing people talk about how much they love George Salazar and that’s fine but uh!!! he’s not in the show anymore!!! please give Jorrel Javier some love and appreciation he’s fantastic!!!!

although that being said- as much as musical Grover is better than movie Grover, I still....wait....hold out hope....that one day....I’ll see Grover portrayed that’s accurate to how he is in the books....my heart won’t let me give up on that dream

tbh I always go back and forth on how I feel about Luke but after seeing him in this show. I’d join him. and also like....give him a blanket and some hot chocolate lol

okay since Hades wasn’t on the soundtrack I wasn’t sure how they’d play him but uh. Let me say. Of all things I was REALLY not expecting a Southern Gay In A Sequined Blazer sdhkfjkgjdfh

deadass the voice the guy was doing sounded exactly like Beverly Leslie from Will and Grace I couldn’t catch my breath

WASN’T EXPECTING THE VIENNA BOYS CHIOR TO BE TWO HAND PUPPETS BUT IT’S WHAT I NEEDED

okay so going in I like. knew it would be really hard for them to stage Sally’s kidnapping the way it happened in the books, like she explodes into light and shit, I knew they were gonna change it

I wasn’t expecting them to just STRAIGHT UP MURDER HER ON STAGE THOUGH HELLO

it lowkey shocked me but also. also. the minotaur killed her in like....the exact same way Kingpin killed Chris Pine’s spiderman in Into the Spiderverse and that was just....funny to me somehow dsjkslksd I had a lot of conflicting feelings going on okay

The Minotaur and the Oracle were like....legitimately kinda creepy omfg

“BEAN. DI-HAP.”

“sexist, much? “no, I love girls!!! I mean- I think- they’re really nice?- I mean-”

amazing

also “YOU’RE MY DREAM GIRL” truly iconic

honestly I could spend hours going on about this show but no one wants that lol-

just. it was visually stunning, the amount of talent in it was overwhelming, it was fun as hell and had a very strong heart. perfect musical, even if you aren’t familiar with the series. if you have a chance to check it out I 100% recommend and honestly I really hope we manage to be-more-chill them and get this show a broadway run, it really deserves it

my theater was completely sold out at 2 in the afternoon and it’s what she deserves. the energy was amazing. I’m just so happy this production exists omfg

If you and Noah could adopt three animals, what kind would they be and what would you name them?

Oofff this one was the hardest by far Katoo!

Okay so ill start off by saying if they could have one of those mutated pets from ilb, they would, 100%, adopt them (I know there were also some in ilitw but home boys want the mutated rabbit, the only valid creature lmaooo)

Having said that lets go to totally realistic pet options that a totally normal and not at all weird couple would have ^^

I was thinking for a starter we could go for a snake. Picture it, Noah and MC passing through a pet store, all this adorable puppies and what nots, and then bAM in a corner in the most isolated tank, a baby snake. Once they saw it, they knew it had to be theirs. What screams power couple more than a baby snake huh?? They debate whether to call her medusa or Ssssarah (not Sarah, but rather Ssssarah to emphasize the s sound, suggested my MC mind you) but in the end Medusa won because Noah refused to make the “s” sound :(

The second pet they would adopt is a duck. But not just any duck from a store or whatever. See, this duck was stranded in the middle of the street when Noah and MC were passing by and it was about to be hit by a car before MC gallantly rescued him. Long story short, duck considered MC as her savior that must be protected at all costs and he kinda hates Noah so every time he comes near he just pecks him (is that a word?? xD y’all know what I mean) and the hatred is mutual (lowkey Noah is jealous of the duck because he gets all MC’s attention now a days but alas). MC decided to name him Quacknator (get it? as in, playing around with the word terminator? I am lame man). To this day Noah refuses to call the creature by that name and just refers to it as chicken :) .

If you’re still here, hey, hi! its been a nice journey settle down because now we have the last pet in store (badamtz). After serious deliberation, I've decided it should be a tiny goldfish. They went to a carnival and won the fishy as a price and they both didn't have the nerve (pun intended) to throw it to a random lake so they decided to keep it. His name is Magikarp because they choose him (;)), Noah and MC are still waiting for the day its evolution comes, up to this day, it still hasn't happened unfortunately

LMAO please don't think I'm crazy after reading this, its 4 am and half of these were brought upon visions I had telling me it was a good idea to write this at this hour lollll.... I..... am gonna go sleep now.....

Also I didnt do a sketch for it because I cant draw animals at all and I would just mess up sdkskdds

#goodnight folks! it was nice knowing y'all now I should go and do things a normal person does at 4 am like sleep instead of writing about #my boi Noah Marshall 🤧#ahHHhh its a good day to stan choices !#Kato I hope this answers were worthy of your reading time even though they are complete trash but just know ily and I enjoyed this way too #much ;w; you is a kweennn #b y e #noah marshall #noah #ilitw #ask #choices

jen walters?

How I feel about this character

WIFE!!! I love her sm!!! She was the character that got me into comics and she’s just such a good character! God she makes me so happy!!!

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Ho boy.... Monica Rambeau, Jazinda, Thundra, Patsy Walker, Sue Storm (lowkey tho like i wouldnt split up reedsue for it), If Medusa didnt suck sm her, Valkyrie, and basically every other woman she’s ever been on a team with tbh. and if I didnt hardcore headcanon her as a lesbian hercules

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Her and Patsy’s friendship is cute but they should also date

My unpopular opinion about this character

Im not a huge fan of her and wyatt anymore. She’s just sm older than him and it felt more like byrne’s attempt at no homoing Johnny and wyatt and I dont like that that ended up what Wyatt is known for like he’s always in her comics and it doesnt make sense

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Make her a lesbian marvel I want to see her kiss a girl!!!

Send me a character!

it’s a bird !! it’s a plane !! no, wait, it’s lucy’s trash children !!

DAO ‘LAHNNIE’ LAHN aka R E M.

introducing useless superhero #1, miss dao lahnnie !!

nicknamed ‘sleeping beauty’ cause well,,,,,,,,she Nap

her power is that when she sleeps, she can pull things from her dreams into the real world. seems easy enough, but sometimes things get a bit skewed if she doesn’t imagine every detail.

example: she could pull a car out, but if in her dream she didn’t think of the engine, then the car wouldn’t have an engine. it might still run though if she dreamt that she was driving it.

her superhero name is ‘rem’ because she at least has to reach the rem stage of sleep to start dreaming.

for the most part, she does more support than actual superhero field work. she dreams up gadgets and things to help out on missions. if she is on the field, she’ll sometimes pop out to go hide and get some shut eye and then just pops back up randomly, except now she has a giant hammer or something.

she has a pet crow. his name king richard the third, but everyone calls him dick. she does not mind this because she did name him when she was five, but it ruffles king richard’s feathers sometimes. he was the first ‘living’ item she ever pulled out of a dream and probably her favorite item she’s ever pulled out.

she,,,,,,really wants to be a hero but most likely knows that she’s only ever gonna be a sidekick or on a support team at best.

but she really is a soft and excited also sleepy baby and she just wants to help out in whatever way she can :))

KANG JINSUNG aka B A S I L I S K.

then there’s this medusa ass motherfucker.

what a tool

they straight up got like basilisk eyes so if you look at them directly in the eye, you become petrified !!

does wear off eventually,,,,,,,but also like its probs just terrifying and ptsd inducing as a whole,,,,,” i thought they were pretty and i met their eye and suddenly i couldnt move and i was down in a ditch ”

- actual quote from a previous victim

they probs murders people after they petrify em cause uhhhhh they a villain and uhhhhhh they’re nefarious and all that

idek what supervillain stuff they do besides like sitting in their super secret villain lair and plotting plots and stuff. give him a nemesis or something pls

wears a blindfold for the most part because glasses don’t block their power enough and they’re tired of having to replace petrified henchmen

other senses are heightened because they don’t use their eyes when dealing with other people unless they’re dealing with other people

they just a mystery villain that lives in a cavelike headquarters and probs just likes to fuck with people cause they’re an asshole

LYDIA CARTER aka S I L K.

they want to be,,,,,the very best,,,,,,like no one ever was !!

their power is fabric manipulation with a particular preference for silk !! hence the name lmao

anywho, they’re a talented aerial silk dancer and uses whatever fabric available to tie around posts and stuff highkey like spiderman and like,,,,,the real silk but also is also skilled in aerial combat.

they’re like a circus performer if the circus performer kicked ass.

they’re learning to be a hero but really,,,,,,they don’t particularly care about heroics,,,,,they just wanna be famous.

they wanna be the absolute best of the best and hey, if heroics don’t get them there, then maybe villainy will.

they cocky as shit tbh

like, is highkey getting scouted by hero agencies to become a sidekick but they just Scoff - as if they’re working for anyone other than themselves

will probably graduate at some point and just try to fight all superheroes to establish themself as The Best

Chaotic Neutral

BAE JOOHYUK aka R E F L E K T A.

i didnt have anything planned for him

i just wanted his quirk and i liked his face

so he can teleport through reflective surfaces even if it’s not a mirror !! so, that’s like windows, phone screens, uhhhh particularly shiny tabletops??

like imagine someone just cleaning a glass coffee table and hyuk just bLOOPS through

he always has a mirror on him. this leads to so many vanity jokes but he mostly just tosses mirrors everywhere and whooshes around and people are like dEAR GOD JUST STAY STILL JFC

loves just popping up through people’s phonescreens, but the surface usually isnt big enough so he’ll shove like a hand through or something

honestly just an asshole that is lowkey lovable but mostly annoying

just trying to past his regular passes cause he’s okay at best in hero training but english?? nah mate

Chaotic Good

RIDLEY VIDRARU aka V E R S E.

do i know anything about him ?? absolutely noT

i know that he’s got 24 gif icons and that i’m gonna stretch them as much as i can

also probs gonna give up at some point and use big gifs i just want hiS TWIN FACE

okAY DECIDED

his hero name is verse - short for versatile. his quirk is that he can mimic any surface/function of an item as long as he presses five fingers to it

think kevin levin from ben 10 but if kevin levin could also like touch a chainsaw and have a chainsaw for a hand

due to his Traumatic Past ( see: luca and or winnie ) he has ptsd induced selective mutism

he Quiet

not super dedicated to being a hero, but his sister is super into so he’s super into it as a show of solidarity

will square up to anyone who messes with his sister, even tho people probs gives him shit for not talking

“ how are you supposed to save anyone if you can’t even open your mouth ?? ”

if he really gotta get his point across then he Bumblebee’s it and just copies a radio,,,,,,fiddles with the stations until the lyrics from songs and snippets of radio shows forms the message he wants to give

he a versatile boy,,,,,,he Surviving,,,,

ASPEN KUMAR aka L A D Y C Y A N I D E

WITCHY WOMAN

this one is a baddie i love her so much

literally just wants to set up a matriarchal society with her as the head in government

be that as president or queen, depends on how her takeover pans out.

currently, she set to inherit the hotels her father owns. she’s an absolute shARk when it comes to staking out claims on more lands and she really just gonna buy her way to the top. she’s got several blocks under her control already.

does evil villain stuff on the down low, probs got a bunch of henchmen. got a mask too cause masks are cute. she just goes around and kills people who refuse to sign over any properties to her.

she wanna own the whole goddamn street, then the town, then the world probs laskdfjadfl

okay so her power is poison generation. she can emit toxic gas from her mouth, but her blood itself is poisonous. so if she being flashy, she just blows out some toxic gas into her victims. if she being sneaky, then just a prick on her finger and bada bing bada boom she’s dripping her own blood into someone’s wine glass.

not super flashy as a villain cause she can’t get caught so she sends henchmen a lot and joins fights with heroes when she’s bored. usually skedaddles before the police show up and lets her men take the fall for it.

literally will just show up and start poisoning people

she’s fun at parties

at least one murder mystery at every party she’s at. her henchmen jokingly called her Clue

“ in the foyer/kitchen/study, the killer is always the lady, and the weapon is always poison. ”

#okay no gif for ridley cause he *psy voice* wants a NEW FACE NEW FACE #also ugh #tags #dont wanna

Yep Red Velvet still hates men: a feminist analysis of #Cookie Jar

Link to MV

After Red Velvet played iconic man-hating lesbians in “Peek-A-Boo” and “Bad Boy,” the girls are back to finish the trilogy with “#Cookie Jar,” cementing their place as the feminist queens of K-pop.

This MV is, in my opinion, the most complex and difficult to unpack of the three, but it’s very subtle and clever, and I’m SO impressed that they managed to put this much depth into it, given the constraints of what makes an appropriate MV for a Red concept song.

I see “#Cookie Jar” as a critique of the male conquest narrative, where women are represented as inert “prizes” to be won by men. We open to Red Velvet role-playing as treasure hunters searching for the elusive Cookie Jar—a pink jar with red cookies inside that gives the book in “Bad Boy” a run for its money—as if it is something to be “discovered” (incidentally, “finding the C” also corresponds to a popular strategy men think is key to winning a woman’s heart lmao). This is overlaid with images of Red Velvet playing chess and cards, once again reinforcing the idea that female “conquest” is a “game” to be “won.”

Once Red Velvet find the elusive Cookie Jar and bite into the cookies, they are transported into the world of the jar, and now adopt the perspective of the “female prize.” We see them posing on a bed, and they walk out to a spread of desserts.

In advertising, images of women eating desserts are often used to titillate men, as a stand-in for female sexual appetite. Women are portrayed eating desserts in measured, restrained bites with ecstatic facial expressions (which Red Velvet replicate), connoting the man’s ability to please the woman with ease and the extent to which female desire is rendered safe for control and consumption by men. By the end of the first chorus, it seems like this vision of female intimacy is the “prize” contained within the Cookie Jar after all.

Here is where things get interesting. In verse 2, Red Velvet members have fully assumed the perspective of the “Cookie Jar,” and we see them holding up objects that could be read as typical gifts by men. These gifts represent the conquest tactics men have tried to gain access to the Cookie Jar. Crucially, these gifts are transactional: they come with expectations of some sort of reciprocation, culminating in the sexual obligation that the act of “conquering” the Cookie Jar represents. However, that’s not the only transaction that occurs: being the recipient of these gifts also imposes societal expectations on Wendy, Joy, and Seulgi on what is an “appropriate” and “grateful” way to receive them.

Wendy receives shoes, or the gift of “effort.” The male suitors want her to put herself in their shoes, to recognize how much effort they put into chasing her (cue Bruno Mars’ Grenade) and dress up nicely for them in turn (hence the clothes in the background). The fact that she receives 5000 pairs of the same shoes shows that her male suitors are all the same and just want the same thing from her: to force her into a single cardboard persona that matches their expectations of what a “prize” should be, under the guise of being considerate to their efforts.

Joy receives a telephone, or the gift of “attention.” Her male suitors want to spend time talking to her, in fact they want to talk to her all the time, and they think they are making her day by showering her with so much attention, but she evidently looks unimpressed, even as she feels obligated to continue listening to their drivel. Eventually, she loses her patience and dunks the telephone into a tank; their conversation is so boring that they might as well be talking to fish.

Seulgi receives flowers, or the gift of “feelings.” Although men once again think they are making her day by confessing their feelings and bombarding her with all these flowers, it is Seulgi who has to put in all the physical and emotional labor to take care of the flowers (aka their delicate feelings), otherwise they’re gonna start calling her an “ungrateful b*tch.”

Frustrated by the societal expectations of how they should receive these gifts, Wendy, Joy, and Seulgi put them into the Irenomancer’s mahō cauldron, hoping she can help turn them into something remotely useful. Irenomancer works her sorcery to turn it into a cream-based filling and, together with Yeri the master baker, successfully create the dessert spread we see in chorus 1. The final ingredient needed for Irenomancer’s magic to work is for Red Velvet to repress all their anger and frustration at men, which we see at 1:50, where lightning flashes and they bottle their sense of selves into the tiny Cookie Jar, allowing themselves to be objectified and reduced to it.

Enter chorus 2, and the illusion of romantic conquest is sustained yet again. Yeri holds up a crystal ball for us to spy on the other members, and Seulgi is eating popcorn as if to congratulate us on our successful voyeurism. By the way, the notion of the gaze is a really important motif in this MV, as it was in “Bad Boy.” Red Velvet are aware that they are constantly being watched by the male gaze. Early in the video, Joy abruptly turns to look behind her, worried she is being followed. And who else is following her but the camera? Likewise, the crystal ball with the pink and yellow stars represents a romanticized and voyeuristic filter for looking at women, through which they are reduced to the fantasy of the Cookie Jar. It almost seems like Red Velvet have chosen to silence themselves because they are on camera, constantly under scrutiny by the male gaze.

During the bridge, the Red Velvet members increasingly tire of performing for the male gaze. They sit around a table of half-eaten desserts, bored and probably suffering from stomachaches. Joy brings out the final dessert item from Irenomancer’s concoction: a grotesque cake disfigured from all the candles of societal expectations stuck into it. Together, the Red Velvet members with newfound conviction decide to blow the candles out, and then—

In the final chorus, the magic wears off and the desserts slowly revert into the trash that men gifted Red Velvet. Disillusioned, they destroy the food in a brilliantly uncomfortable scene to watch, which ends with them smashing the Cookie Jar itself. We cut back to the forest. Now that Red Velvet have ruptured the illusion inside the Cookie Jar, ants begin to swarm its contents. Irene, representing the male conqueror once more, drops it in horror; the “prize” is not what she expected it to be.

The Cookie Jar swarming with ants alludes to the image of the vagina dentata (“toothed vagina”), which symbolizes male castration anxiety towards the monstrous feminine: the woman who appears restrained and seductive at first but harbors destructive intentions towards men (arguably epitomized by Red Velvet in “Peek-A-Boo”). Historically, men have glorified self-control—tightly-sealed and pretty and pink—as the source of female desirability, much like the Cookie Jar we first see as the object of male conquest in this MV. In contrast, men are terrified of women with unrestrained desires, women who are seen as “out of control,” associated with images of gaping abysses and creatures like Medusa, Sirens, and Succubi. The vagina dentata, in particular, connotes deception: an object that appears deceptively controlled and suitable for male consumption at first, only to reveal a set of razor sharp teeth behind the veil.

So that’s my analysis of Cookie Jar! I really like this MV a lot, and I think it has many innovative elements that we have not seen in previous Red Velvet MVs. I really like the scene of the dance choreography at 3:20. Red Velvet’s choreographies are usually innocuous compared to their MVs, but the way 3:20 is overlaid with the scenes of food being destroyed, coupled with Joy’s absolutely perfect facial expression, makes it SO sinister, like there’s a claw inside the Cookie Jar that’s going to grab at you the moment you open it.

(#Cookie Jar also lowkey seems to be throwing shade at Irene’s feminist book incident tbh, where men accused her of being “ungrateful” and not “reciprocating” all their effort, attention, and feelings lololol.)

PS: For the h8ters complaining that Red Velvet is wasting food, I don’t see you complaining when men blow up cars in action movies every other day in the same uninspired fashion, each of which is thousands of times more resource-intensive and carbon-generating than the food.

anyway, this has been a While coming and now im back in new orleans so LOTS OF GUSHING ABOUT THE LIGHTNING THIEF MUSICAL, UNDER THE CUT

the ambiance of the theater, dim and filled with soft storm sounds

this show does really beautiful things with overlapping singing and w harmonys and its So low budget but still so good and the cast is small but amazing and literally everyone but chris is cast into several roles and its just amazing

if u dont wanna read this whole thing, just scroll down to the end for a Special Surprise

ACT 1

the Bitter, Angry, Sad music, ltm is truly the Emo Rock Musical we deserve

i seriously almost fell out of my chair when chris mccarrell came out. he honest to god was SUCH a good percy, so fidgety and all his expressions were ON POINT

“CHROOONOOOOOOOS”

ms dodds in General she was hilarious for the literal 3 minutes she was onstage

the pen to sword transformation is literally just: chris hides the pen and grabs the sword from somewhere else onstage. during my show, in the ms dodds fight scene, the sword was on the back of chirons wheelchair and it got stuck so he had to trip after the chair as chiron wheeled off and TUG it off to fight

DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVED CHRIS MCCARRELL AND HOW AMAZING HIS VOICE WAS? BECAUSE I DO AND IT W A S

sally is a BLACK WOMAN

just in general, this show was Amazing at raceblind casting

sally sprayed febreeze after smelly gabe, like he leaned to look in the fridge and she stood behind him spraying febreeze directly at him for like 30 seconds

“he was handsome and strong and before too long- you came!” percy was roasting marshmallows and looking out towards the audience and sally was rubbing up and down the sides of her body during this before “you came!” and it was v funny

Strong in general was Great bc WOW IM LOVE THE “NORMALCY IS A SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED MYTH” MESSAGE

grover and percy meeting outside camp

“oh look a goat” “percy!”

“he met a furie” “youre all furry! what happened to your legs”

the v cute friendship bickering, overlapping voices thing that percy and grover v often did. this was the grover and percy friendship that we always needed

during the weird dream when he sees annabeth and hes like “gee whiz shes the most beautiful girl ive ever seen”

and then when he officially meets her after hes not out of it, he says “youre my dream girl!” and then backpedals and its great

ANOTHER TERRIBLE DAY. DEFFS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE SONGS. MR D IN GENERAL WAS JUST AMAZING, GEORGE SALAZAR ROCKED IT

he kicked the chair over so much and then there was a part after his camp halfblood intern thing left so his chair didnt get reset behind him and so he kicked into the air, got frustrated, and put the chair up himself

“of course, who am i to give relationship advice, im literally the god of alcohol”

“you can hate it here, but i HATED IT FIRST”

so so so many Soft sex jokes and bc im a Child i loved them

chiron is just a guy galloping with a horse tail its the cutest thing and everyone laughed bc like imagine a kid galloping w their legs high and w/e, but on an adult and slow motion

“you’ll get used to mr d. he can be a bit... well, he hates children”

luke was Very attractive and ALSO he had a lot of chemistry w percy and w annabeth and i, who remembered shipping percy and luke back in my Youth, was Living

annabeth deffs had a crush on luke dont @ me

also luke was Softly bitter. like he sounded like a modern kid, bitter and upset but saying it in a joking way; totally makes sense that no one suspects that he’d do anything w chronos bc all the kids are upset and he doesnt get dark until the very end of the show

“are you ever going to wear pants again?” “Nope!”

luke: “havent you ever played capture the flag?” percy, excitedly: “not with swords!” *makes swooshy lightsaber noises* annabeth, suffering, full of regret: “It’s not a lightsaber.”

“sexist much?” “no, i love girls” [muffled luke and grover cackling in the background]

CLARISSE, LOVE OF MY LIFE! her song was so so good

im sure everyone has mentioned this but the LEAF BLOWERS BLOWING TOILET PAPER TO REPRESENT WATER LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE

the campfire song

percys Soft concern for annabeths story about running away “wait is that true”

grover starting to cry during his part

“my father is chronos.... remember my lecture, he ate his children””....... chiron wins”

APHRODITE'S DAUGHTER’S STORY “godess of love, my moms aphrodite... i bring home a boy and shes there in her nightie! oh nooooo” “she steals my mascara and all of my dates!” wonderful

percy sings nicely about his mother and everyones like “hes doing it wrong”
