#this man literally showed up looking beautiful and evil in the best way

Random Merlin Rewatch: Where a random number generator gives me a season and an episode from BBC Merlin; and then I comment on it as I go.
Today's episode: Season 1 Episode 6 - A Remedy to Cure all Ills
Before I start, let me just say, I'm really happy I'm getting to rewatch the earlier seasons. Of course the next random episode might be literally season 5 or something, but it's great that it hasn't happened yet.
Let's fucking start bitches
Not the wiggly evil fingers just a few seconds in.
Damn boy you got some dirty ass nails, wash your hands.
MORGWEN MY BELOVEDS!!!! Also the way Gwen looked at Morgana after she asked who'd she want the flowers to be from. Girl looked ready to risk it ALL, let me put a screenshot actually.
Tumblr media
OUGHHHH the brainrot is real with these two
Tumblr media
LIKE??????? GWEN'S THIRSTY (me too)
Tumblr media
Alright girls, enough yearning please
Ugh, I hate the little sound the bug made when it dropped from the flower. Butthole clenched in digust.
Oh thank god they DON'T show it literally entering her ear. That would've been so gross.
LETS GO INTROOOOOO
Oh Gwen looks BEAUTIFUL in that yellow color. It does everything for her!!
"She's all but dead, Merlin." JESUS FUCKING CHRIST GAIUS
Most suspicious ruse of all time. "Oh, i have a cure for all ills. And also I know the king's ward is very sick. But anyways, I'll be at the inn :)." Bitch.
"But I'm not worried." me when I lie. Merlin is so bad at lying, jesus fuck
Merlin sits down to stop pacing. Arthur gets up and starts pacing. Two sides of the same coin or whatever.
Underrated Arthur shirt is the purplish one he wears in the scene where he begs Uther n Gaius to hear the strange man out. That color looks good on him. It might be his red shirt but in a weird lighting?? I can't be sure.
I really like when Gaius gets to talk all medical considering how limited the medicine world was at the time. It's really really cool, I love seeing this insight into what was possibly like to be a physician at the time. I don't of this happens much in the show.
Arthur really is so trusting when it comes to his loved ones. Of course he's not at fault, like he said what do they have to lose at this point, honestly I've done the same. It's just. Heartbreaking to notice that trait knowing what comes next.
"Science is knowledge." Merlin is such a nerd, I love him.
Oh, not Gaius and Edwin having a lying competition over here. There's a better term for it, but whatever.
Gwen is SO FUCKING GORGEOUS but girl please that's a fucking sorcerer, go AWAY be SAFE. She's so smart though. Immediately knew something was off. He tries to be all "She may die :(." to get her to be worried and not suspicious, but it literally doesn't work. She leaves the room but not because she thinks he's got Morgana's best interests at heart. She knows something is wrong. She also knows she holds no power. And on the chance that he is right and Morgana dies, she'd never forgive herself.
The fucking lying back and forth between Gaius and Edwin. Like. From the outside, it sounds like a perfectly normal convo. But they both know it isn't. And WE know it isn't 'cause we know Edwin's full of shit.
Interesting how Arthur isn't seated but Uther and Morgana are.
Who the fuck knocks on someone's door, doesn't hear an answer, and then just let's themselves in?? I'm sorry, if you're a stranger, I'm not doing that. The fuck's wrong with you Merlin, you nosy boy??
It is so sickening that these villains of the week have views that we can agree with. Yes, magic is a gift and can be a force for good, you're right! But it's because of Uther and his oppression that they turn bitter and ruthless and vindictive. And yes, you do have to eliminate those who are like Uther because they will only propagate the same corrupted and repressive beliefs. The problem, the layers, is that some of those people are actually very much capable of understanding the very fundamental logic that "Sorcerers deserve too live in freedom" but they're so filled with fear and propaganda of the contrary that it's so hard to get out of it. And that's why, if they killed Uther with magic, Arthur would hate magic even more (just like it happens in canon), which would then just repeat the cycle, etc etc. You need to uproot the system, but killing everybody is not the answer; but also having to teach such a fundamental thing, that certain humans deserve basic rights, is such a painful thing to teach, and the oppressed does not have the obligation to do so. But then the cycle just repeats and repeats and it's SHIT. Anyways.
It's so funny that in season 1 they hadn't figured out the cgi for the golden eyes so they just. simply don't show it.
The things Edwin say are like. Well-meaning. But there's just this off vibe that the most intelligent characters (Gaius, Gwen, Merlin) can just. pick up. And even though Merlin really likes what Edwin is saying, there's just something telling him... it's wrong.
Uther, of course, would never even believe anyone would just lie so blatantly and manipulate him like this because he thinks himself very intelligent; which is why he's falling for everythinggg that Edwin says. But, credit where credit's due, Edwin is an excellent liar.
Gaius wears the most cunty ring on his pinky finger, hello?
Tumblr media
I want that ring bro.
Oop, not Gaius having his cowardice and betrayal shoved right in his face. I get it, you wanted safety. But there's consequences to your actions. And I know Gaius feels so guilty about all his friends that died at the stake while he remained safe and sound.
If Gaius would've left in this episode, replaced by Edwin, I bet Morgana would've felt so guilty. In her mind, her illness is what caused him to leave. Gaius truly was there for Morgana and Arthur in ways Uther simply could not.
OOP Gaius and Kilgarrah meeting!!!!!!!! I forgot this happened lmao
Gaius got a little taste of how infuriating the dragon is.
Wait, Gaius was employed for Arthur's birth? That's so interesting. He probably already lived in Camelot but he's been a court physician for 20 years. He was already quite old by then.
It's the way that Gaius is just. Ready to throw his whole life away to make sure Merlin is safe and sound. That's his fucking son, bro!!!
What the actual fuck, they're gonna make me cry :(((( Gaius called Merlin a blessing and his son, I can't.
THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEEE IM GONNA CRY
Gwen is so iconic, speak the fucking truth girl.
THAT ICONIC GWEN LINE YESSSSSSSSSS QUEENNNN
Not Gaius with his lil blanket and lil fire. He looks so smol, it's so funny.
Edwin could've waited a lil bit before going all murder on Uther. That just looks suspicious as fuck ngl.
GAIUS GETTING BLOWN BACK SHOULD'NT BE SO FUNNY BUT--
I wonder how Arthur knew that his father was ill. It means he went into his room, but why? Did he have some feeling about Edwin? About Gaius leaving? Was it some courtly concern? I'm assuming no one else would have the privilege of seeing Uther at night except for his son and ward so.
Yes, Merlin, just stare at the floating axe that's being controlled by the evil sorcerer right in front of you, you're so smart. Also the slow-mo is so goofy.
It's interesting that they shot both Merlin and Edwin's eyes up-close when they did magic, Merlin to do the golden eye effect, but for Edwin it seems that his pupils just change size. I wonder if not all sorcerers have their eyes glow, if it depends on the magic. Edwin is using dark magic, could it be that? That's interesting, imo. Dark magic equals no golden eyes. Kinda fun.
Violent ass death for Edwin, damn. Axe to head, bitchass
Oh it must be so weird for Merlin to be touching Uther like that. Like that's intimate as shit.
So cuteeee Gaius calling Merlin a genius, they're adorable. He's so proud. That was a feat, though, just pure improv and luck. Merlin is still a noob at controlled magic so this was really damn good.
Love that it's so canon that Gaius potions taste like fucking ASS. Uther's face, lmao.
Interesting that Uther asked if Gaius remembered his friends that burned at the pyre, and Gaius answers "All of them." and Uther doesn't even comment. As bonkers as it sounds, they truly are friends in some capacities. I wonder if Gaius could make Uther change his mind. Not Morgana or Arthur, but Gaius. But he made the choice to abandon magic, Uther presumed because Gaius understood its dangers, but if he were to find out that actually Gaius doesn't agree, I wonder what Uther would think about that. Like a genuine and open convo about it. I think he'd just arrest Gaius for it, but I don't know. I think there's at least some reality where he gives it some more thought. But I don't know if he'd ever repel the ban, more because he'd have to admit that he was wrong, and admitting you're wrong is also accepting and processing all the shit you did for that wrong thing, and I just think Uther is too cowardly to do so. He knows it would break his mind to truly process all the pain and horror he's caused; so no matter his inner philosophies, he'll never repel the ban, because the damage has been done, and he'd rather live like that than start anew in the new reality where he's wrong.
"In the fight against magic, you are the one person I can trust." yet again. Gaius going against this? Uther can't fathom it. He's so confident that Gaius is 100% on his side.
Arthur smiling at Gaius, awww.
Tumblr media
Two pretty bestfriends. No wonder half the kingdom wants to fuck them both. Also what the fuck is a "freeman"??? Genuinely, what is it??
And that is it. Loved it, of course.

EVERYTHING IS FINE- Miguel O’Hara x fem!reader
Tumblr media
this is it. angsty asf. bittersweet ending it’s sad people. tw: infidelity. based on my most recent post. please comment i’m literally begging you and tell me how you like it<3
In the depths of your heart, you already know. Your Miguel is not yours anymore.
You remember the stolen glances between him and Dana where you pretended not to notice the palpable tension between the three of you amidst the throng of about ten other people in the house.
It was a nice dinner that you’d planned, after spending almost a week away because of your actual job as well as your little side gig that was being a part of spider society.
But fifteen minutes into the little shin-dig and you get a call from none other than your boss. Not the nice one who showed you the ropes when you first joined and provided you with hours of mentorship. The bitch that was a variant of your husband was currently floating above your watch as you glared at him in the bathroom.
“We need you.”
“Not today.”
“It’s an emergency.”
“It’s always an emergency.” you roll your eyes.
“Look this was unplanned, you think my life’s aim is to torment you?”
“Kind of.” you nod and he groans, “Give me twenty minutes.”
——
At the end of twenty minutes, you storm out of your house as quietly as you can, yes it’s an oxymoron but you’re pissed off.
At Miguel, at your husband, at yourself.
Your mother always said that you were one to pity yourself, even when every bad thing that happened was the result of your own actions. All your life you’ve disagreed, but now you think that maybe your mother was probably right.
None of this would have happened if you’d just said no. No to Dana making her way into your marriage to her guy best friend and co-worker.No to the variant of him with fangs and red eyes and No to your own urge of fucking things up because you wanted to see what happened. If maybe what your heart felt was wrong. That there was nothing wrong with you and Miguel, that he still loved you.
You let out a shaky breath and open a portal from an alleyway behind your apartment building. The purple hue reflects onto your face. No, you weren’t a spider. Just a traveller that stumped your boss and changed his perception of everything he knew about the multiverse.
The man himself nodded at you as you stepped onto the platform he was standing on, looking back to the holo of what looked like a rogue Doc Ock, Goblin and another Spiderman.
“What, now we have evil spidermen? Isn’t that breaking the canon?” you raise an eyebrow.
“That’s the thing. There’s no canon event broken. He was meant to be a villain. Yet, I’ve never heard of him, or of this universe.”
You look at him like he’s just told you that he used to be a stripper in college and all his money came from his side-gig, “I’m sorry, what? The all powerful Miguel O’Hara with the pixel suit doesn’t know of the existence of a universe?”
“You’re being real helpful right now.” he grumbles.
“Thank you, I knew you’d appreciate the help.”
——
The house is quiet when you walk in, evidently everyone has left. The kitchen has been cleaned and the lights are off.
He’d always been your biggest supporter. Always so humble even though he had a high position and a fat paycheck, always telling you to let him help you. Doing some of your work for you when you were busy.
The bedroom door creaked a little as you enter, the sound of your loves breathing makes you crack a small smile. His hulking figure curled up and moving up and down. His face slack.
God he was so beautiful.
You shed your clothes and go through your night routine as fast as you can. Brushing your teeth and scrubbing your face. Cursing the pimples that always make their way onto your forehead at the wrong time.
The mattress squeaks as you get on, slowly wrapping your hands around his body. He stirs and looks up at you, his eyes softening. He’d been drinking, you can tell. He hasn’t looked at you like this for a while.
“Hi.” his hands cup your face and you smile softly as you kiss his rough palm. Your own covering his.
“Sorry I disturbed you. Thank you for cleaning up.” your hands mirror his actions, thumbs caressing his cheekbones.
He answers you with a soft kiss. And then another. And his hands are travelling down to pull you to him. Engulfing you as he hides his face in the crook of your neck. Your hands move to play with his hair as he drifted back to sleep.
You close your eyes and pretend that everything is fine. That the lipstick stain on his shirt in the laundry basket wasn’t the same as Dana’s.
———
“Are you fucking dumb?” O’Hara seethes, as he disinfects the gash at the bottom of your neck.
“It’s just a graze, i’m fine.” you grumble, “it’s not like anyone’s gonna care if i die.”
“No, just shut your mouth. Stop talking like you’re some martyr. There are plenty of people here who would miss you.”
“Miguel, let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.” you chuckle, “i get it-
“No, you don’t. actually, you don’t get it. the woman i loved died, and she’s gone and i’d do anything to have her back, and you’re so convinced that if you died your own fucking husband wouldn’t want to die too? Stop acting like you’re expendable.” his eyes glow and yours widen, “This may come as a surprise to you, but people care.”
You gulp, “Sorry.”
He grumbles under his breath as he sprays the wound with bacta so it heals faster. Apologising when you wince.
You look at his concentrated face that is focused on wrapping the bandage around your shoulder and the bottom of your neck. His face is mere inches from yours. He is the splitting image of your husband, save from the red eyes and fangs. But this close you can see the differences, his eyebrows are a tad thicker and his ears are smaller.
He is harder and his words are sharp. Your love is soft and quiet. Mean when he has to be, but kinder. More open.
More loving. Yes. He’s more loving and he loves you.
You look away and focus on the ceiling. You don’t see his eyes watching your face. Eyes filled with sadness and want.
——
“Dana, here. Have some tea.” you pour a cup for the woman sitting next to Miguel at the table. At your spot.
Is it toxic to think that maybe you want her to choke on her tea?
She’d started to carpool with Miguel a few months ago , seeing as they worked together and were on the same team, it was more efficient and made more sense.
You didn’t want to seem like a toxic wife so you nodded and agreed, because you were secure in your relationship with your husband.
“Thank you.” she says your name with a wide smile as she sips the tea, “Amazing, as always.”
“I know right, she makes amazing tea.” he smiles at her and raises an eyebrow. Dana snorts.
You look between the pair trying to hide their smiles, “Did I miss something?” an awkward smile makes its way onto your face.
“Inside joke, you wouldn’t get it. It’s a scientist thing. I don’t think your writer brain could handle it.” Dana waves you away as if you’re a fucking waiter and you bristle.
But what drives it home is that Miguel laughs out loud when she says that. His hair flops onto his forehead and Dana fixes it for him, her hands running through this hair.
You fight the urge to break a plate on her head but you know it’ll be fruitless. Because your husband will take her side.
Maybe you’re just being dramatic. Maybe the tears you’re trying to hide as you make breakfast are unwarranted and you can’t take a joke.
Everything is fine.
You call out to them from the kitchen, telling them you’re going to be late and his voice is brighter when he says, “Okay, honey.”
—————
“You okay?”
“I’m fine, boss.”
“You look dead.”
“Your eyes bags suggest the same.”
“You’re hilarious.” O’Hara smirks
“Thank you.” you take a sip of the beer he’d passed.
It was late, far past dinner time. And the both of you had taken time to go over the record of what anomalies were most common and key weaknesses in most villains.
“But seriously, are you okay?”
You gulp, “Tell me about your wife. Please.”
He blanches, and then looks at the tears welling up in your eyes.
“Well, where to begin?” he turns to face you, “She…was a writer, she had her own business. She loved sunflowers because they faced each other when the sun wasn’t in the sky.” he smiles sadly, “she was terrified of frogs and dead fish. And she hated onions. The pickiest fucking eater.” he shakes his head and chuckles.
“She sounds sweet.” you know she was variant of you, Miguel had shown you the web of life and in every universe there was version of you that made their way into his life. It was beautiful, honestly.
“She had short hair, and her smile. God, it could make anyone’s day better.” he rested his head on his hand and looked at the hologram shining in front of the both of you.
“She sounds like a dream.” you reply.
“She was.” he nods.
“Hey would you mind bringing up a live of my house?” you ask.
“Why?”
“Humour me, will you?”
He grumbles and a hologram showing your universe pops up, on the screen is your living room. And Miguel freezes when he sees the scene before him.
He sees himself kiss Dana. The version of him who is married, is kissing his co-worker. He’s taking her in his arms and nuzzling her nose. He’s pecking her cheeks and tickling her like she’s his wife.
Like he’s in love with her.
“I love you.” his voice echoes throughout the room. And Dana says it back.
His head whips to look at you. You don’t look surprised, rather, you look defeated. You breathe out like it’s a finality. Your beautiful beautiful eyes transfixed on offending scene in front of you.
Before anything else happens, he shuts it off. Immediately turning to look at your frozen form, “Hey, you with me?”
You shake your head and smile. Eyes still fixed onto where the hologram was, “I’m fine.” Tears fall down your cheeks as your mouth quivers, “I’m okay. Everyday he comes back around this time. And they carpool. I told him I’d be late today. Just after I made them tea and they laughed at an inside joke amongst themselves.”
His eyes widens, “Oh honey.” his moves to hug you and you let out an ugly sob, “It’s okay. You’re okay.”
“I knew it.” you say into his chest, “I’m so fucking stupid.”
His hand pats your back, “You’re not stupid.”
“I mean, I know i was busy, i know i wasnt always home. But I tried, i fucking tried. WHAT IS SO WRONG WITB ME?” the dam breaks and you let out a wrecked shout of agony that breaks his heart into two, “Why wasn’t I good enough?!” your body shakes violently.
“No.” he says firmly, taking your face in his hands, almost squeezing your cheeks and forcing you to looking at him, your hands fly to cover his, “ You are good enough. You are enough. Listen to me. That fucking idiot doesn’t know who he just lost.”
“But-But if i wasnt so busy-
“If he had a problem, he should’ve told you. He’s a fucking pussy.”
Your words are silenced when he shakes you once, hands still holding your cheeks, “You are the most perfect person. And the both of them will pay. I promise that, cariño.”
His arms wrap around you to engulf you as you hide your face in the crook of his neck, rapid breaths slowing. His pulse beats and you can feel the vibrations on your own skin.
You close your eyes and pretend everything is fine. Because you’re in his arms.

Makima x Innocent! Reader
Characters: Makima, Kishibe (Mentioned)
Tags: Fluff, Developing/Established Relationship, Soft! Makima, dogs, worrying, Kishibe being Kishibe, denial of feelings and misunderstandings.
Warnings: Spoiler Warning for the International Assassins Arc and the Gun Devil Arc. SFW.
A/N: Soft Makima = Best Makima?
Tumblr media
SFW
Makima is a controller. For her it is either her way or no way. And if you dare to defy her, she will be the last thing you ever see. 
She treats everyone like they are her dogs, toys and pawns in a larger game to win…
But not you. No, she treats you like an angel.
After missions and days at work, she will take you out to relax. No ifs ands or buts.
Gives you the best massages.
Isn't a fan of PDA. But if she feels threatened, she will grab you and show everyone who you belong to.
She won't force anything onto you unless important. She knows how timid you can be when making decisions.
She has no problem explaining to you her missions and tactics, though she will sugar coat some moments for your "safety".
Her dogs love you. They literally run in your direction when you go to Makima's home and just jump on you.
Yes, Makima is a little jealous of it.
Watches any movie you want to watch, good or bad.
If it's a horror movie, she'll hold your hand the entire time. And if there's a jumpscare, she'll hold you when you jump.
Loves when you get easily flustered but wont show it.
She'll literally stare at you with a small smile and quietly be in delight at your timid state.
Will ask about your day, which is something she doesn't do for ANYONE.
If you want a sleepover, Makima will do the whole nine yards. Endless snacks, a batch of good movies, bad movies and a bunch of blankets.
She only has ONE rule; Don't speak of what you two do outside of work to coworkers. You're her little secret. No one can have you but her. Not to mention she has a reputation to keep.
Will ask Kishibe, yes, Kishibe of all people, advice on how to care more and be better for you.
Will also ask how to tread lightly around you as to not scare you away. But will never admit it or say it out loud.
Say her eyes are beautiful or pretty. She'll melt just laugh and call you cute. Maybe even kiss you on the cheek.
In-Story (Spoilers Ahead)
When Makima fell for you, she thought she was sick.
So sick that she took a few days off of work to wonder what was happening to her.
She asked her higher ups and even Kishibe what was wrong in subtle ways.
They all concluded; she wasn't sick. She was in love.
But she didn't want to be. No, she wanted to just focus on Chainsaw Man and Denji! You were ruining her plans! You had to go.
So why couldn't she kill you?
She just couldn't kill you…
Though she continued to think her attraction to you was unnatural, she soon asked you out.
Say yes. Makima doesn't show it, but she wants you to accept her confession.
Though your relationship is not displayed around your co-workers, they know something is going on between you two.
They all think the same thing; "Good for her." "I'm happy for them." "She's dating someone? I thought she was just a scary emotionless woman!" "Lucky!"
Makima doesn't worry about anything.
So she's surprised she worries about you so much.
After your encounter with the Darkness Devil in hell, Makima was her usual quiet and mysterious self.
But Kishibe informs you she was worried sick when she found you.
And don't even get him started on how she was during the return of the Gun Devil.
She tries her best not to tell you her true motives with Denji, but if you give her puppy eyes she'll spill.
Please support her. The last thing she wants to do is kill her precious angel.
When you noticed her being extra friendly to Denji and Aki, your cute little head started to worry she would leave you for them.
She'll assure you in a sweet whisper that she only belongs to you.
Be on the look out for a jealous Denji...
"I'll admit. My motives will be seen as evil. But it is a necessary evil. I hope you understand... You have to understand. I know I can accomplish my mission, but it might be near impossible without you... Oh, I wasn't saying I-... Haha. Yes. I love you too."
Makima is a devil. A control devil. And could destroy the whole world.
But maybe. Just maybe. She'd sacrifice it all if it was for you…
Chainsaw Man requests are currently open! :D
Likes and retweets are always appreciated! I love you all, be safe and have a good day! <3

Watched Dead Boy Detectives last night and I’m obsessed. If you like the queerness of good omens, but with more gore, and in the same universe as the Sandman (death and despair both show up) if you like dark academia gay boys, if you like ghosts, or paranormal stuff, or demons, if you like cats — lemme tell you this show is for you.
So, like, there’s these two ghost boys who are best friends but also gay for each other but also a secret third thing and their names are Edwin and Charles.
Edwin Payne was a demonic sacrifice in 1916 and as spend literal decades in hell but escaped. He’s a repressed Victorian gay who has zero charisma but every single man he meets becomes obsessed with him and wants to sleep with him except the boy he actually likes which is his best friend Charles. His entire character arc is about gay panic and getting over his internalized homophobia — he wears bow ties!!!! He doesn’t know what a hand job is. He’s literally the perfect tumblr blorbo. His superpower is getting tortured. He’s so sassy! His sexual awakening comes at the hands of a cat king and his first kiss is with a crow.
Charles died in like the 90s or something I’m not sure. He’s so optimistic and sunshine but also so full of rage. He’s the most supportive guy 100/10 would trust him with anything. He doesn’t like to talk about his issues. When confronted with the inexorable monsters of hell he solved the problem with a Molotov cocktail. I love him and his single earring he’s a golden retriever who would rather stay on earth with best friend than move on to a peaceful afterlife. His jawline is impeccable he can’t not press a big red button when he sees it.
Crystal Palace I wasn’t sold on because I thought she’d get between my boys but she actually so cool and I developed a bit of a crush let’s be honest I have a thing for curly haired witchy girls, she’s a physic with amnesia and a demon stalker ex boyfriend people stare at her when she hangs out with the boys cause it looks like she’s talking to herself. Everyone she knows thinks she’s insane. She’s a reformed mean girl.
Niko Sisaki I was a little iffy about because it felt like they were gonna go with the bimbo anime Asian girl but turns out she just had a parasite that made pink hearts float around her. She’s so weird she tries to help Edwin with his gay problem by introducing him to explicit gay fan fiction, she tries to get her landlord to date, she likes cool rocks. She has two tiny people trapped in a jar in her room. Her friendship with Edwin is everything. She’s ghosting her mom.
Jenny. I love her so much, she feels so safe which is weird because she chops meat and all her clothes are covered in blood. Everything about just screams big sister and her character arc is learning to embrace that. She goes on one date and almost gets murdered.
Monty. He’s literally a crow turned into a boy. He’s down bad for Edwin. He’s a secret honeypot agent for an evil witch. He has the most adorable smile, the whole time I was expecting him to be an agent of Morpheus. He’s obsessed with astrology.
The Night nurse originally annoyed me a bit (in a good way) I just wanted to get rid of her. When Charles punted her into a giant sea monster I clapped. Then it just got weird and I love it.
The cat king. He’s such a creep, but honestly, I love that for him. He has some of the best lines and he just exudes cat. He’s a classic fairy tale trickster, he a nuisance for the whole season, he’s central to the plot, he’s constantly hitting on Edwin.
Esther. She’s a archetypal evil witch. She gives off mystic trash vibes. She’s obsessed with beauty and revenge. She’s shamelessly horrible. She feeds kids to her giant snake. She literally can’t die.
All in all, I think I’m gonna have brain rot over this for the next year, go and watch it.

The Obsessive Male Lead Made Me The Female Lead - By 센리 (5.5/10)
Tumblr media
Annoying talking books. A plot held up by time travel with zero real tension. A yandere with no bite. This particular otome isekai fails to DO anything. Everything is a plot device. Every character. Every scene. None of it feels natural in the slightest.
She dies beautifully. That's her role. She does it on her own. She's a side character named Isol, who was saved by the perfect male lead. Before her destined death she fell in love with him.
Tumblr media
She told him she will miss him, before she died that day.
When she wakes up a sentient book is yapping at her. The show must go on. Something went wrong when she died, and the original plot did not move forward.
By the way this story takes place inside a generic romance fantasy novel. The main villain is an evil dragon.
Tumblr media
The evil beast can only be beaten by Seirin, the heroine, who is deeply loved by the perfect man Isol served until her death. Lexion. Seirin and Lexion are literally the perfect team. Isol has no clue why their happily ever after never came.
Tumblr media
Seirin and Lexion were childhood friends. Seirin is also childhood friends with other important and handsome men. She is a charismatic leader. A woman of noble birth and merit.
Tumblr media
She's also a rare beauty.
Tumblr media
Lexion has always been sweetly smitten.
Tumblr media
That all changes when he watches her die. Her noble sacrifice wasn't supposed to be a huge deal. It was supposed to make everyone sad, of course. Isol is a pretty and innocent side character. She exists to die at the right moment.
Her death drives Lexion crazy.
Tumblr media
It's implied that she sort of becomes holy in his eyes. His love for her isn't perfect. He's blinded by her. Willing to do anything to get her back. Back from the dead. Back by his side. His love for Seirin was very different. He was a dutiful and loving man, but that was to be expected. Seirin is perfect. She is the easy choice. The best bride.
Isol is....not...
Marrying and saving Isol involves alot of effort. Like turning back time for example. It's clear that his feelings for her are much deeper.
Tumblr media
When she awakens after her death she's confused. She's chained up. She's trapped in some slave market somewhere. She's endlessly confused.
Tumblr media
Lexion comes right away, before she can try to make an escape plan.
He got what he wanted.
(The characters are so flat its unreal. The combination of isekai/novel setting/yandere/female lead switch was never all that interesting. Now it's been done fifty times, and only one or two of those are actually good. Skip this one unless you're starving for a yandere man with a sword. The art is blocky as heck and nothing looks natural.)
He won't make the same mistakes again.
He remembers everything.
(Yes. I'm calling her Isol. Her first name is dumb and her last name is prettier.)

You are literally the goat if you make a fic about Shujinko and you make me like him
“DECEPTION ROOTED IN THE SOUL” SHUJINKO X ANTI-HERO FEM!READER
Tumblr media
SUMMARY : Shujinko is on his quest to find all the kamidogus when he meets you, a cambion (a half human half demon) in the Netherrealm. You will decide if he is worthy for you to help (Shujinko is 18)
A/N : Okay, for context, I bet all my followers that I could write a fic about Shujinko and they would still eat it up bc I’m just THAT good so that’s why this exists
A/N : for y’all that will not understand, this plot is based on Mortal Kombat Deception
WARNINGS : none I think?? Besides descriptive making out
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
Time was of the essence. It was far greater than anything. He had believed that the Elder Gods trusted in him. He had to complete his task.
Hearing that his soul was tainted, Shujinko questioned some of his methods in order for him to complete his konquest because now the man was able to enter the Netherrealm.
The Netherrealm was filled with evil souls and evil people. It was a place not for the weak. Shujinko wasn’t necessarily scared just uneasy.
It was weird to say the least. The way people spoke and acted was much different than the people that resided in Earthrealm, his home.
Sometimes he could understand what people were saying but then there were others who would speak a language he was not familiar with. So, it made it hard for him to communicate.
Shujinko had already prepared himself for the worse but he was not ready for this.
As he walked through out the poor excuse of a “city” he had spotted a woman, you, arguing with a monster.
He was confused because you didn’t look like a monster. In fact, you looked very human besides some dark face paint on your face.
Actually…you were beautiful.
“I have told you for the last time, Baraka, I will not aid in Shao Kahn’s army. He offers me nothing.”
“Then you are the enemy!”
The warrior pushed you down to the ground. You hissed a little at the impact. You were about to stand up so you could fight him but somebody was already beating you to it.
Shujinko made his appearance known. Baraka, the warrior, turned to look at him. “Who are you? Speak now! Or be slaughtered!”
“I am Shujinko. The Elder God’s champion.” He stated very simply. “I think it is best that you leave now.”
Baraka laughed as if what Shujinko had said was the funniest thing in the world. “Me? Leave? Are you challenging me?”
“If you see it as a challenge then so be it but it is a warning.”
“Ha! I will feast on your bones for your insolence!”
When Shujinko saw Baraka was getting into his fighting stance, Shujinko got into his and prepared himself.
You watched as the fight happened. As he fought, Shujinko picked up on all of Baraka’s moves and started to use them against him.
It was actually very interesting.
How could someone have that much knowledge and wisdom that they were able to pick up on something so quickly?
You didn’t know if Shujinko was just that good of a fighter or Baraka was a terrible warrior but Shujinko was winning. Very easily may you add.
You should’ve took this as your opportunity to escape but you couldn’t help yourself. You were intrigued.
Even more intrigued because of the fact that Shujinko did not look like a powerful demon. And if he claimed to be the Elder God’s champion then he definitely wasn’t.
Baraka was down on the ground in pain. You were waiting for Shujinko to finish Baraka. He did not.
When Baraka recognized that Shujinko showed him mercy, Baraka took it as his chance to escape.
You watched as Baraka ran away. You turned your attention towards Shujinko. “I could’ve handled him.”
“I’m sure you could’ve.” Shujinko agreed with you. You were surprised that there was no hint of sarcasm in his voice. He held out his hand to help you off the ground.
You stared at his hand, contemplating on taking it. He did help you. (Even if you didn’t ask for it.) You took his hand and allowed him to help you up.
Curiosity took the best of you. “How did you do that? I saw you copy his fighting style and use it against him. And Baraka is the best Tarkatan warrior. He would not fall to someone as easy looking as you.”
“Easy looking?” Shujinko questioned a little amused. “I have been granted the gift to pick up on people’s fighting styles fairly quickly.”
You nodded a little at his short explanation. It made sense. “You don’t look like you belong here. You’re…very human looking.”
“I am a human. I am from Earthrealm.”
Your eyes widen at his statement. How was he able to coexist in the Netherrealm then? “Earthrealm? How is that possible? You must be filled with evil.”
Not being able to help yourself, you touched Shujinko’s shoulder slightly. He allowed you to do this. You closed your eyes and looked into Shujinko’s soul.
When you opened your eyes, they were white. Shujinko did not seem frightened by this and observed what you were doing.
You continued to try and look into his soul but you found barely anything. You closed your eyes again and your eye color went back to normal.
You removed your hand from his shoulder. “There is very light corruption. Nothing outlandish.”
Shujinko was a little happy to hear that he was not completely corrupted. “I have been informed that while doing my quest, I may have gotten my soul tainted a little.” He looked you up and down and it was his curiosity that got the better of him. “You also do not look like a demon.”
You chuckled a little at the realization. “That is because I am a Cambion. I am half human and half demon. I can either take on my human form or my demon form.”
“You are in the Netherrealm. Why would you want to look human?”
“To separate myself from these fools.” You placed your hands behind your back as you spoke. “I am a powerful sorcerer. My father is Quan Chi.”
Shujinko was stunned by your confession. “Quan Chi? He is-“
“The devil? I know. As you can see, I am not aligned with him.” You told him. “I’m (Y/N).”
“Shujinko.”
You chuckled a little at the name. “Interesting. Your name means protagonist. How fitting.” Shujinko smiled slightly. You changed the subject. “What brings you to the Netherrealm exactly? It is not the ideal place for you.”
Shujinko did not want to give you too much information but you seemed friendly enough. I mean, you haven’t tried to kill him despite everyone else in the Netherrealm trying to. “I am here on a quest from the Elder Gods. What I need resides in this realm unfortunately.”
You nodded at his vague explanation. You suppose he was in his right to not completely tell you. You were a demon of the Netherrealm. “Well, I hope you are good on your quest, Shujinko.” You started to walk away from him. “May we meet again.”
Shujinko watched as you walked away from him. He had to admit, he was slightly disappointed seeing as that you were the only one in the Netherrealm that did not give him hell.
Hopefully you would meet him again.
Tumblr media
Later on in his quest in the Netherrealm, Shujinko had encountered you. Again, you were fighting with someone but this time you were winning.
He decided to watch you as you held the warrior in your hands. Then you began to suck the soul out of them. The warrior’s body started to desiccate,
When the warriors body turned into old brittle bones, you flung them to the ground.
Shujinko decided to walk over to you. “What did he do to you?”
You turned to Shujinko, a little startled that you had seen him again. “Exist.” You stated simply. “You know…” You began to say as you walked closer to him. “You are not as good as I figured to be. You watch me kill a man?”
Shujinko raised his hands in his defense. “I have no authority of what you do. You also seem…alright. He must’ve done something to you.”
You chuckled at the nativity that was Shujinko. “Do not be so easily fooled of who I am because I show you kindness.” You walked over to him. You grabbed him by the chin and forced him to look at you directly in the eyes. “Remember, I grant you kindness because you have earned my respect.”
Tilting your head, you examined his features. He was a very handsome man. He had long hair to the back of his neck and big brown doe eyes. His lips were actually a little plump and he had soft masculine features on his face.
“And because you are very handsome.”
Shujinko allowed you to touch his face as he was not threatened by you. If you had wanted to kill him, you would’ve by now.
He was a little taken back by your compliment, wondering where it had came from. “A demon calls me handsome?”
“Oh, dear. If I hadn’t grown to like you I would’ve fed on your soul by now.” You let go of his face and laughed slightly at his expression. He showed no reaction to what you had said. “You’re very calm for someone that could kill you in an instant.”
Shujinko watched as you began to circle around him. He kept his eyes on you the entire time. “I am not so convinced you would hurt me.”
“Oh?” You stopped behind his back. Your lips go to his ear and you began to whisper. “Maybe I showed you too much of my kindness.”
“Perhaps you have. But you are not as evil as you make yourself seem.”
You take a step back from him. In reality, it was true. I mean, it was the reason why you were not helping Shao Kahn. It was the reason why you abandoned your father.
You did not partake in their kind of evilness.
You would never admit it though. Especially to the Earthrealmer that stood before you. You decided to change the subject. “How does your quest come along?”
Shujinko noticed your change in topic but decided to play along. “It is…far more difficult than I anticipated.”
“Difficulty? For the Elder God’s champion? I figured it be not.” You teased slightly before stopping in front of him.
Shujinko recognized your teasing. “Oh? Does the great cambion sorcerer have anything to teach me?” He teased back.
“Oh, I might have a couple tricks.” You ran your hands up and down his chest. “You’re very interesting Shujinko. Let’s hope you don’t disappoint me.” You removed your hands from him and started to walk away from him.
Shujinko, again, watched you walk disappointed. “May we meet again?”
You turned around and smiled at him. “You know it.”
Tumblr media
Throughout his journey, he was stumbled again when he was greeted by another woman that looked basically human.
Maybe she was also like you, a cambion. But that was quickly disproved because she explained herself to be a demon but she had purged her soul of evil.
Her name was Ashrah and she offered to teach him the ways of her kombat. He agreed.
Once he picked up on all her fighting styles, she congratulated him on a job well done.
Ashrah had just defeated a Tarkatan warrior in front of Shujinko to show him her abilities. “The Tarkatan was not a pure demon but a mutated hybrid of demon and mortal races.” She said.
It made Shujinko ponder to you because technically, you were a hybrid yourself but you appeared very much human like. Maybe it was because you were also a sorcerer.
Ashrah continued to speak. “There was not much to gain from his death. We’re I to defeat the powerful demon (Y/N), however, I would surely ascend from this place much sooner.”
The mention of you caught him off guard. Her? Defeat you?
Not only did he not like the idea as he had grown to like you, but he thought it was foolish. Sure, Ashrah was a powerful demon herself but he had watched you fight that warrior. Not to mention you also claimed to be a powerful sorcerer.
How could she possibly defeat you?
“(Y/N)? The Cambion sorcerer?” He questioned her.
Ashrah went wide eyed when he had known who she was talking about. “You know of her? Where is she?”
“I do not know but I don’t think it is wise to test her.”
“You underestimate me, Earthrealmer. If you shall encounter her again, lead her to me. It is here that I am most powerful.”
Shujinko did not like this but he did not want to argue with Ashrah. “If I see her, I will do as you ask.”
But if he were to do that, he would warn you of Ashrah’s true intentions.
Tumblr media
It took Shujinko some time but he had finally found you. He located you by doing small quests for people in order to gain information about your whereabouts.
He walked to the house and knocked on the door. He waited a few moments and the door opened. When he did, he saw your true form.
You were in your demon form. Your whole body was red and and your eyes glowed white. There was something about you that was enticing to him.
Even though you were a demon you still had your feminine beauty.
When you had realized that it was Shujinko, you sighed. “By the gods..” With a snap of your fingers, a gust of green mist appeared and you were in your human form.
Shujinko blinked a little. It stunned him by the sudden transformation. He didn’t see why you would though. Did you think he would treat you differently if he saw the real you?
“How in Netherrealm’s name did you find me?”
“I did small quests in exchange for information.” Shujinko replied simply.
You grabbed Shujinko’s shirt and pulled him inside. You shut the door behind you. “Whomever they are, they will feel my wrath. Why are you standing before me?”
“The demon known as ‘Ashrah’ wants to purge her soul by slaying you.”
When Shujinko had revealed this information to you, you rolled your eyes at the name. “I cannot stand her. She’s always so…infuriating. Does she have a death wish?”
“I should’ve asked…”
“Well where is she? I will deal with her and skin her alive.”
When you went to walk out of the house, Shujinko grabbed onto your arm to stop you. “I do not think that’s a good idea.”
You gave him a look and snatched your arm from him. “You do not think I can do it?”
“Quite the opposite. I do not want you to kill her.”
When he had said that, the statement made you angry. You walked towards him in a fit of rage but Shujinko did not back away. He stood his ground. “You dare protect her?”
“It is not more so protection as it is goal oriented. Killing her as of right now invades my quest.”
Saying that, it clicked for you. You chuckled some and backed away from him. “Wow. I was really wrong about you. You are selfish.”
Shujinko was not pleased to be called such a word. Not at all. “I do what is best to complete my task.”
“Mmhm. So you say.” You told him. “I can give you something that can help you on your…quest.”
Shujinko was ready to hear anything that could help him on his journey. “Anything would help, (Y/N).”
“I can grant you some of my power. It will help you fight off the demons that try to challenge you in the Netherrealm.”
“You would do that? For me?”
“You came to warn me about Ashrah’s doing. I have never met anyone so loyal to me. I will reward you.”
Shujinko was just happy that he was being granted something to help him complete his quest. “What do I have to do to receive this power?”
That’s when you smirked. You stepped closer to him. So close you closed a lot of the distance between the two of you. You stared right into his eyes. “Kiss me.”
Shujinko stood there. He was shocked. He was not expecting that in the slightest. Though he had to admit, he didn’t really mind. “I have a feeling there is actually an other way but you are choosing this one.”
You chuckled. You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him down towards you. “Don’t act like you don’t love it.”
Shujinko’s lips meant yours. He was a little taken back at how sweet your lips tasted. I mean, you were a demon.
He cupped the back of your neck with his left hand and continued to kiss you. You started off slow.
The kiss quickly turned heated. When Shujinko realized you weren’t going to pull away anytime soon, he placed his right hand on your waist and pulled you even closer to him.
You deepened the kiss. The kiss started to turn sloppy with your lips entangling with each others. You licked all over his bottom lip and sucked on it.
Shujinko let out a moan into the kiss. He felt your hands tangle in his hair and lightly pull at it, making him let out another moan.
You two kissed for a few more moments before you pulled away. The two of you stared in each others eyes, admiring one’s beauty.
Removing your arms from him, you held out your hand and then made Shujinko hold out his. You concentrated and soon enough, a green glowing light appeared in his hand.
Shujinko smiled a little. “It worked.”
“You doubted me?”
“I was just not convinced a kiss would give me such power.”
You closed his hand up. “You have the minimum of sorcery in you.”
“How long does this last?”
“If I die, which will never happen, the magic will go away.”
You walked away some from him. Shujinko watched as you did so. “You are so keen that you will not fall.”
“I am far too powerful to have any doubts.” You stated. You were walking close to a room but did not go into it. You turned around and smirked at him. “You know, you should stay awhile. I get bored.”
Shujinko knew what you were implying but played along into your innuendos. “And how would I be able to entertain you?”
“Oh I think you know how.” You held out your hand for him to take.
Shujinko was thinking. Even though you showed him an immense amount of kindness given your nature, he knew that deep down, you were still evil.
He did trust you to a certain extent. You giving your power to him only proved that. And he was grateful for it.
He tried to think of what could go wrong if he gave in. What were the consequences that were to come?
Off the top of his head, he couldn’t think of any. And he had to admit, you looked more than enticing as of now.
So, he walked over to you and took your hand.
You kept your smirk and brought him into the room before shutting the door.
Tumblr media
A/N : Alr now, I ain’t gonna give y’all a heart attack so I won’t include smut in this. I lowkey wanna make a part 2. Now I’m invested

This is the kind of post that become a flight of thought and reasoning with a bit of hc. The Break Up with Lord Astarion Like: Asc Astsrion dickpic photo of a drunk ex - behavior nah well if drunk... still nah+meh Astarion has centuries of seduction experience. His brains aren't so smooth as to send Tav a "dickpic" in hopes of attention and success. He'll come up with a really nice and neat plan to get Tav to come to him on their own. He's got time. It's AU meme modernity ofc. It's hard to work. Without context, Astarion loses a lot. The medieval, vampirism and slavery is a big context. Depends on how painful it was. Let's say it went okay, a little uncomfortable, but normal. In modern times, if Tav was kind, he'd be something charitable, showy. For Tav and good for building influence, too. For love of the people. If Tav was more evil. He'd be doing something extravagant, still logical. Looking like a fool is not a best seduction tactic. For a good Tav, he'd create parks in the city, and support the arts, charities. For the evil Tav, he would seek influence in closed circles so that those she knows about (admires) would talk about him and his deeds like new skyscraper-hotels with casinos. In any field he would quickly become famous: a beautiful man with refined taste. Speaking of the Middle Ages, in Faerun. Depends on what Tav is interested in, it's magic - the best relics from around the world in Baldur's Gate. New opportunities for mages from all over Faerun. Come to Baldur's Gate. Warfare - don't even ask. Fella will climb into any dragon lair on his own to get to impress. (And have some fun). Astarion despite having goals, would quite enjoy and discover new things in the world. In general, he would get his way. I don't think it's even canonically obsessive, that you can't get off once, like a frenzy, nah.
He'd remember his personal plans, he'd party a lot, he'd be sad sometimes that Tav couldn't share the fun with him. Eventually he was able to taste the food again. There was so much around that he couldn't for 200 years. Seriously he would eat 10 kinds of desserts and enjoy them, forgetting everything. I prefer it when Tav loves everything and shares eternity, pleasures and decadence, the line of play. In this line-breakup I'm more interested in the “partners in crime” that Lord Astarion suggests. That's the fun line of the game.
Here, if Tav friendly agrees, he definitely:
Tumblr media
Kinda Friendship Zone. But Astarion is ok with it.
-- Everyone on the Sword Coast thinks they're having an affair. -- He very often emphasized in the beginning that Tav was his friend, like a little poke. But he stopped doing that when Tav returned the favor. -- Astarion feels the need to touch Tav's hand. In general, touching Tav makes him feel better. This Tav is also tactile, she needs to touch someone she likes, someone she is friends with. -- That Tav is a druid. She turns into a frog if Astarion goes too far. And starts croaking. A thing that makes him angry, sad and happy. -- Astarion crosses the lines of edgy flirting while dancing. -- Sometimes Astarion thinks dark thoughts, but he always just thinks them. He has time. To lose her smile is to be a fool. -- He always sulks for about three days when their temprs clash. But that doesn't happen very often. This Tav is as calm as a toad in the sun. -- Surprisingly. He was so greedy for her time, literally, but he'd only gently invite her to join him - for a party, a walk, on a ship to Calimport. Tav had said no a few times. Needing to keep her distance, not to spoil the greedy dragon. And he'd just go like a cat and she'd be bored while he got the fun of traveling. He brought back souvenirs. But she would have liked to see his smile the first time he looked at this town. -- No friend in the Realms gets gifts like Tav. -- His legions of crows are on duty outside her house. Tav didn't mind, she didn't have the best opinion of the world anyway. They were showing up together, these rumors... who need to prick him, will prick her. -- At sunset they often walk together in the parks in the Upper City.

"Lol imagine if elriel is endgame and Azriel imagined another female (certainly not Elain) smiling and with her eyes glowing which sparked something inside of his chest which made him smile to himself without even realizing he was doing it, and he didn’t even know her that well…"
And imagine if sjm wrote it solely to show in the next book that it was an outside force influencing his thoughts? What then? Cuz sjm surely didn't write it in a way that seems natural. Clotho said/wrote "she deserves something as beautiful as this and i thank you for the joy it shall bring to her" and all of a sudden there's a spark in his chest and he can see an image of gwyns teal eyes? Even though moments ago he thought that he wouldn't consider gwyn a friend? And how did sjm word his thought about seeing the image? "For whatever reason... he could see it" doesn't seem like he naturally thought of her. If he did it wouldn't be "for whatever reason".
•His shadows, acted unusual. Did not sense gwyns present before he was there.
• His actions, not in his control. He had every intention to return the necklace to the shop but found himself standing before Clotho as the clock chimed seven in the evening.
• His thoughts, seems to be under some sort of influence. Otherwise he wouldn't be like "for whatever reason".
That scene was not written to have romantic undertone. It was written to be suspicious and eerie. And sjm did her best on hofas to prove the gwynriel "mate bond theory" wrong. But y'all took it as parallel language/hints.
"Like if hes the man you want for Elain thats just sad honestly, this is a romance book, I want my male endgames absolutely smitten and invested in the fmcs, with NO turning back once it started, but I guess thats just me"
Lol Then why do you ship gwynriel ? Azriel has zero romantic feelings for gwyn.
I’m so happy you put this together! They actually serve as examples of how WHOLESOME that scene was.
I see literally zero evidence that all of this was because of Gwyn’s powers that we haven’t even had the confirmation of, and in no way it was written eerily. It was written to be wholesome. It was the perfect antithesis to the wrongness of the scene with Elain. I am so sorry that your ship sank.
His shadows were content with her. They skittered AWAY with Elain (this is a bad connotation in contrast)
“He found himself” is a term that is ALWAYS used when mates find themselves doing something they didn’t expect, he wasn’t being controlled, but believe what you want without any canon evidence. He found the necklace was going to give it back but thought someone might like it, so he found himself taking it to her.
“For whatever reason” is just a way to say he didn’t know why, not because it is eerie, if it was he at least would have SOME type of suspicion on it, but he just tucked the glowing spark in his chest away inside him, like how you tuck something inside of your pockets. He could have said “he shoved those weird thoughts away” but he didn’t did he…?
Look, this is a fantasy book, it’s not that serious but you gotta admit you’re reaching at some point. The scene was so obviously romantic in a way Azriel (nor us) were expecting it. And after that scene, we never got even a whiff of elriel while we got even more Gwynriel golden banter, and remember, hes the new ribbon ✨
If anything, even if Gwyn’s powers were “guiding him” which won’t happen because thats stupid and negates too much of Gwyn’s character, it will only add to their story, a parallel of them both thinking they’re monsters, but realizing they too are worthy of love, because what will not happen is Gwyn being evil/a villain, shes an incredible character, an SA survivor, part of Nesta’s incredible found family, SJM modelled her after one of her friends, think again.
Elriel sank by itself with his messed up thoughts about Elain, him just wanting to have one night of fucking her, saying he has not had ONE THOUGHT about a plan to be with her, did not correct Rhys on what’s his status regarding Mor, told her it was a mistake (could’ve used anything other than that), displayed toxic behavior that we know Elain is against (saying he will fight in a duel for her and kill her mate?) and even realized he had been RIGHT to stay away from her.
But yeah blame the “lightsinger” for all of this too i guess??
Also thats so cute shadowsinger x lightsinger make a beautiful parallel couple!

You know what always, ALWAYS, breaks my heart.
The fact that Jinx truly doesn’t believe she is loved; yet she is one of the most loved people in this entire show. It’s just so fucking tragic that she can’t see that.
Silco and Vi love her so goddamn much.
The climax of season 1, boils down to these two fighting for Jinx to pick them over the other, to stay with with them, be their family. 
Jinx has literally just kidnapped them and shown herself to clearly be a danger to their lives and general safety, and yet….
The thought of losing her is unbearable to both Silco and Vi.
Silco would never have given her up. Never!
This is a man who less than a decade ago, would’ve sacrificed anything and anyone for his cause; but now…
He would burn everything and everyone for his daughter. For her to remain at his side.
She killed him and the most important thing to Silco, in his last moments, was making sure she knew he would have never given her up, that nothing was worth her, to comfort her, and tell her she was perfect.
And Vi. My other poor, tragic and beautiful daughter.
I don’t know how anyone can say Vi doesn’t love her sister. Did you even watch the show?
I think it’s such a misjudgment of Vi’s character that people say because she freezes up and doesn’t try “harder” to reach out to Jinx that she doesn’t love her. 
Because think about that for a second -
Vi who is this seemingly unstoppable force of nature, completely freezes when it comes to Jinx.
She is so scared of losing her sister, of saying or doing the wrong thing, of hurting her again.
Vi blames herself so goddamn much to the point that Vi, VI, who is absolutely defined by her fighter response, just freezes when it comes to Jinx.
These two love Jinx so goddamn much and it breaks my heart how Jinx can’t see that; or at least not until it’s too late.
Then you have Ekko. Forget romantic feelings or crushes; this boy loved his best friend so goddamn much and had so much respect for her; that despite her (from his POV) choosing to be ‘evil,’ still put her on his mural of those he’s lost.
Jinx has killed people on that mural; and yet there is Powder in the center of everyone that Ekko lost that one awful night. She is one of three largest portraits up there. That’s an insane amount of love and respect to give to her; especially considering how their relationship devolved.
And then you get to their fight and Ekko who has been fighting Jinx and Silco for years; who has lost many of his people to them. Who is so angry and filled with pain and hates Jinx...
God, the look on his face when he realizes who he’s hurting, who is underneath him. This poor, beautiful boy goes through like several different stages of shock, pain, and longing in a matter of seconds, when he actually sees Jinx.
Then you have Vander. I know we don’t have much between him and Powder, but I am baffled by the idea that people think Vander didn’t love her.
His last words to Vi were - “Take care of Powder.”
In his dying moments, Vander thought of Powder; she was that important to him.
Now, if he has a few more sentences I’m sure he would’ve also told Vi to not seek revenge on Silco, because he wasn’t worth Vi and Powder’s lives and their safety, as well as reaffirm his love and pride for Vi.
But he didn’t get more time; so he said what was most important to him in that moment - “Take care of Powder.”
Don’t even try to say that Vander didn’t love Powder.
And while we don’t see much of them; you cannot tell me that Claggor and Mylo didn’t love Powder. Yes, even Mylo.
Mylo was an insecure, young boy who took out his anger and frustrations on his younger sister; because she was even more of a weak link than he was and he wanted to feel better about himself.
But, I can’t imagine he would’ve ever wanted to be such a source of pain and torment for her, that Jinx’s Demon!Mylo has become.
And, while we only see a few interactions between them, just the way Claggor looked at Powder tells me that he loved and cared for her.
This girl is so beyond loved (and has been loved) but yet, she can’t see it. Likely because she doesn’t love herself; she has a hard time imagining that someone could love her.
Which again, is just heartbreakingly tragic.

Who are your top five favorite characters in John Wick?
-🧸 (<- If this hasn’t been taken yet)
[ Ooohhh I think this list would be pretty clear based on who is reading this but yeah here are my top five! :D ]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝟓. 𝐈𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐅 𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐕
It was already a big start when I watched John Wick and really liked Alfie Allen’s performance as Iosef. Only just recently I started to like-like Iosef as a character more. I love his sort of biker aesthetic with the leather jacket and hoodies, which is a BIG difference from the other three big bads of the movie series since they’re all dressed in this formal-business sort of outfit which really goes to show Iosef’s difference in terms of character to literally everyone in the movie series.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝟒. 𝐉𝐎𝐇𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐂𝐊
The man, the myth, the legend! He’s obviously gonna be on this list because the movies aren’t completed without him and he’s genuinely such a well-written character it’s just that most people (atleast on other platforms) just know John for killing an entire criminal organization over a dog and while yes that’s true, I can literally just yap over and over about how Daisy just symbolizes John’s remaining innocence and his connection to Helen/the overworld.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝟑. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐃𝐉𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑
Watching John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum and actually noticing everything after watching the fourth movie in the series was like a hit to the face. So Adjudicator— fucking awesome! I loved their entire wardrobe throughout the movies and how they all look so stylish yet refined. And I love the subtle story telling with their dangly earring which represents the fact they don’t necessarily have everything under control and so does the High Table.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝟐. 𝐆𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐀 𝐃’𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐎
People truly sleep on Gianna because, hey, she got like ten minutes worth of screentime and had relatively a short time alive for the audience to look at her and like her as a character. But to me, I love her. I love my bitches who show up once and then never again. She’s evil, she’s ruthless, she’s a cunt; Santino’s just mad he can’t do it like her. Aka, be as good as her when it comes to ruling the Camorra. I love her so much, because as much as we were so close to see a truly ruthless individual who is a woman rule something as large and brutal as the Camorra, and also be a canon seat holder in the world of the High Table— Gianna remains one of my favorite due to how beautiful she is and how intuitive she was, her death scene was just absolutely beautiful.
Tumblr media
𝟏. 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐒 𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐁𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐓 𝐃𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓
Tumblr media
We all saw this coming. He’s practically my brand, in fact I am him. He is me and he is I, don’t mind the fact he died in 2015 and I got pushed into this world against my will in 2005. Look at him. He’s literally the perfect villain for a movie like John Wick Chapter 4. He’s a cunt, played by Bill Skarsgård, he has a fuckass French accent, he never shows up in scenes without his pocket watch, the shoes are Prada and the suits are Valentino. All his suits are drenched in glitter, and every scene feels like he owns the place. The Louvre? The Louis Vuitton Foundation? The Palace of Versailles? The Palais Garnier? The fucking Tour de Eiffel? He’s always surrounded by his bodyguards, he’s eating cake and living his best life. God, he’s literally me. I am him bro. He is literally me. He’s a ruthless and brutal little cunt ass bitch who finds pain fascinating but I do not have a single fiber in my body that gives a hecking shit. Anna Wintour would have loved him. If there was an Anna Wintour in the John Wick world, Vincent would be her fucking soul son. If you were to tell me the bitch named Keith from Barbarian would suddenly be throwing on a French accent and walk the way he does now, I would have exploded. Vincent is nothing but the pure embodiment of the campiness of John Wick Chapter 4. The suits, the character, the attitude, the sheer level of audacity. He is a mixture of the villains before him, he is the campiness of John Wick Chapter 4, he is Bill Skarsgård having fun, he is an insufferable bitch who deserves the way he died and even then, his death was both relieving and also beautiful. The Marquis, Vincent Bisset de Gramont is everything in a John Wick villain; the design, the European, the mythology references, the hatred for John, the cowardice, the deceitful nature, the ability to serve so much cunt yet be so cringefailure loserboy at the same time. Chad Stahelski made a great decision casting Bill Skarsgård as the Marquis de Gramont because I cannot think of another 6’4 white man who looks like a disturbed Victorian era child who has never seen a cellphone. He looks like he would get pissed off if you called him cunty and he would die if you gave him Sprite to drink. Making a guillotine joke around him would have you executed on site. He has a nice ass and beautiful, glorious hips and thighs that he is gatekeeping from the community using his glittery tailcoats. He is a thirty three years old twink with perfect thighs and even better fashion. His hair has so much hairspray I don’t think that shit was moving for the duration of the movie. The perfect villain to have ended John Wick alongside the legend himself. The motherfucker comes from Southern France and I hate and love him even more because of that. He is such an insufferable little shit that if I were there in the agreements scene I would have done everything in my power to make sure the duel starts now so I can leap across the table and rip him to shreds with my bare hands. I am kissing him with tongue afterwards. I hyperfixated on him and hated him at first but then I remembered that his fanbase was lacking at the time so now I’m him yeah sorry Chad Stahelski himself told me I am him so yeah move out of the way ladies. Or don’t. I’m married to like three women I don’t know because I’m him. His hell is being middle class in Paris because I said so.

Asking you to talk more on sukuna nd feet 😛😛
of COURSE !!!
I'm just still stuck on thinking about Sukuna being HELLA ancient and that really only coming through his ... sexual preferences, and by extension... his preferences for the body, right? Which ik we're thinking is his liking for the body as it comes naturally, naked and untouched and etc...
SO, it makes perfect sense that he loves a nicely done-up foot because ... even if you're wearing clothes, a healthy looking, decorated foot is one way to show off the quality of your body without sacrificing much of your integrity, or the appearance of that specific body part... for EXAMPLE:
You can be wearing whatever kind of clothing you want, but with a beautiful mani-pedi and nice shoes, people look at you and KNOW you take care of your skin !!!
And for Sukuna, that's literally... nut-worthy automatically. That his woman is so cared for she, not only has hands, but FEET too, that instead of showing the affects of hard work on them... are pampered beyond belief and always look delicious.
Even if you do use your hands for work, or have hands that show that kind of hard work on them, the second Sukuna attaches himself to you, that's one of the first things he demands you fix (by paying for your spa appointments, of course)... and ain't no way in hell he's taking no for an answer.
(I don't even think it's something he cares about until he realizes he can care about it. He's just chilling, living his best, king-of-curses life... and then one day he notices you putting lotion on your heels before bed and the next time your legs are in the air, he's pressing your feet to his face. Or you put on an anklet just for the day and he doesn't let you take it off ever again, ONLY ever change it so he can hear the sound of it jingle when he's fucking you better. Or you come home with white toenails after a pedicure with your friends and suddenly he's kissing your toes before he eats you out every. single. time. No brain ONLY boner from there on out.)
When he finally gets into the groove, tho (or in an automatic, non-curse AU), Sukuna is definitely picky about what kinds of designs and colors you get during mani-pedis. It's so weird of him because he's a full on evil CURSE, but I know he's walking into that salon right along with you and not just watching your toes get scrubbed and painting, but helping you pick out the colors and diamonds too....
He scrutinizes your poor nail tech sooo hard, one of those guys who takes off from the tip immediately if they accidentally nick you with the clippers, or file something a little too roughly. His inspection face is so funny, because even though he's supposed to be there spending time with YOU, his eyes are on your tootsies the whole time (like a freak).
You can convince him to let you get fun colors (and tbh, you ARE the one who put him onto including crystals or doing frenchies in the first place), but I know he's a such a particular man when it comes to making sure your nail colors are ALWAYS elegant. Loves a classic nude or pink, sometimes lets you experiments with white or a couple crystals... but the whole point is that he never has to see your feet covered again, only ever decorated and in strappy-heels for the rest of TIME.
(And don't even get me started on how much he gets off on watching you do your skincare, too. Anything to do with taking care of your body he loves, adores, is obsessed with; you doing your hair. Putting on your lotion or oils. Washing yourself, your leg up on the side of the bathtub.
Plus, he never wants to see you in makeup or shaving or anything of the sort. He only wants you bare and raw the way you were made... and yes that means he will buy you ¥50000 korean skincare essence but refuse to buy you foundation from the convenience store.)
THANK U FOR ASKING, ANON, LOVE U!

𓆩♡𓆪 episode eleven: She’s evil, most definitely.
Tumblr media
10:00 am, dressing room.
you didn’t expect everyone backstage to be this calm and collected on Summer Slam day. considering the way chaos is in the air during Raw tapings, this was… something.
you look up at the mirror and smile, you were ditching the blonde hair today, well not entirely. you were keeping two strips at the front blonde while the rest of your hair was going to be jet black.
dying your hair was always fun, especially when it was a decision made on a whim.
“call me when it starts burning” the stylist said, you close your eyes for a second hoping to take a nap. it was quite for a bit and the place was bit cold, you could feel yourself beginning to drift away, head slightly tilting to the side.
“Y/nnnnn!”
your eyes shot open, you look at the mirror and focus on who’s behind you, “hm, Shawn…” you mumble. your eyes were slightly red, Shawn sits beside you. “dying your hair too?” you ask closing your eyes again, “nah, just a haircut” he said. you hum, Shawn leans back in his seat, he tilts his head back and looks at you, admiring you.
you were so damn pretty to him.
“you got gear for the show?” you ask, Shawn huffs. “this one time I actually don't” he sighs. you turn to look at him, "Shawn Michaels? at a pay-per-view without extravagant gear?" you ask, Shawn nods. "sadly" he pouts. you turn away and laugh, "what world is this?"
she’s so beautiful he thought...
"do you have special gear?" he asked, "yeah man! it's my first pay-per-view here, of course I'm gonna extra" you say. "you're getting your hair done? and you have special gear? damn I should do something" Shawn laughed.
"I more excited about the matches later" you smile, Shawn sits up, "that tag team match is about to the best fuckin' match of the whole show" he boasted, "the best triple tag match anyone will ever see!"
"of course it will be as long as someone doesn't throw a tantrum mid-match" you side eyed him. Shawn gasped, "I don't who you're talking about" he looked, "a certain someone" you poke his arm.
It was so nice. finally being able to have a proper friendly conversation with Shawn without being up each other's throats all the time.
"Is this certain someone with us in the room?" he remarks, "oh yeah, you wouldn't know anything about that kind of behavior" you joke. "I obviously wouldn't! I'm good!"
"yeah, yeah, you're a good boy we know"
the praise made Shawn suddenly feel flustered, especially coming for you. he wanted to hear it again, and again and again. oh, the things you do to him...
"Adrian!" you call out, "it's burning!
Tumblr media
2:22 pm, y/n's locker room.
you were changing your boots' laces, switching the plain black ones for a deeper red pair of laces. you wanted everything in your gear to match for the show later, everything.
you were nervous about the show later, you have not one but two matches on tonight's card, there's no room for botching anything or getting injured. the show has to be perfect tonight, your first Summer Slam has to deliver.
it must.
you were quickly drowning in your own thoughts, thoughts of the pay-per-view later, visions of the crowd cheering for you, finally wrapping a feud that's been going since June, holding your championship up high as you enter the arena. making history.
making history.
you still remember your promise to Alundra, word by word, you promised her to make a change and here you were, about to make literal history.
tonight was going to be the night you make history. you, Chyna and Lita were going to be the first women to compete in a triple threat match, you were going to be the first women to headline a pay-per-view, the first women to main event Summer Slam.
the first.
it will soon be your moment, all yours.
the sound of the door shutting behind you snapped you back into reality. you look back, it's Hunter. "oh hey" you smile as you approach him, he brings you in for a long hug. Hunter's been really busy the past couple of days, Vince has been giving him a push into the main stage, his schedule changed drastically and you've barely seen him recently.
"I missed you so much" he mumbles into your shoulder, you smile more. "I missed you more"
Hunter pulls away and only then do you notice the things he's holding in his hands, they almost immediately melt your heart. In one hand he's holding a boquette of black and red roses wrapped with beige ribbon, and in the other hand a little beige box.
"I got these for you" he hands you the flowers, you grab the little white card that was in the middle of the flowers to read it.
Congratulation on your main event angel xx
"no, Hunter you didn't need to do all this" you smile even harder, "oh wait, there's more" he said handing you the box.
"hello?" you ask
you examine the box a bit, you immediately recognized the print. Saturn with a cross on top, you open the box and it contained a pouch with the same logo. "It reminded me off you when I first saw it" Hunter said, you pull out a pearl choker and your lips slightly part, "I had to get it".
"why'd you do this?" you quietly ask.
Hunter chuckles as he takes the necklace out of your hands, placing it around your neck, "gotta get something for my special girl, right?" he asks.
he clips on the necklace and your fingers touch the cold golden Saturn in the middle, you turn around to face him, "Is it pretty on me?" you ask with a smile. Hunter smiles back at you, "you make it look better", lifting your chin up with his finger, Hunter goes in for a kiss.
"y/n?" he pulls away.
"hm?" you look up at him with half lidded eyes.
"will you be my girlfriend?"
Tumblr media
4:45 pm, cafeteria.
Lita was basically vibrating in her seat with energy and excitement, it was both adorable and contagious because Chyna soon joined her. Lita's hair was the brightest shade of red it's been in a while, looks like everyone's getting their hair freshly dyed today.
"it's so exciting knowing were doing this, but the fact that we're just getting around to this is kinda sad" Chyna said. "yeah" you agreed, "you know, I was thinking earlier, what if I invite Alundra?" you suggest.
both girls look at you concerned, "sweetheart, as heartwarming as that is, if Vince finds out that you brought her after she left for the competition he will probably start foaming at the mouth" Chyna said as Lita nods.
understandable.
"hm" you hum.
"that aside, I have shit y'all need to hear, Y/n, honey, put your hearing ears on" Lita says, you and Chyna lean to her.
"Sunny has been spreading rumors about you" Lita starts.
jesus, here we go again.
"is this chick okay? like genuinely?" Chyna asks, "let me know when you find out" you rolls your eyes. "apparently she's been telling people backstage about how much of a dickhead you are, that you're a bitch and you're egotistical and everything's getting to your head, just talking shit" Lita explained.
"oh my god, who told you?" Chyna asks, "Owen" Lita says, "she's been saying that shit around the guys obviously" she added.
"there's no way she's not tired of this grade seven shit, cause I know I am" you lean back into your seat. "and, because there's more" Lita says.
"and?" Chyna asks, "there's more?"
Lita nods, "I literally read this with my own eyes, she had an interview with some magazine where she bashed the hell outta you" she explained. "she kept saying that you're not a good champion, and that you didn't deserve the belt and that, it just pissed me off"
for some reason that made you laugh out loud, "are pigs flying? Sunny is questioning me?" you ask, "the furthest she'll ever make it is under Vince's desk. put her in a match with me and she'll cry every time she sees a ring after" you laugh again.
Chyna puts her hand on your shoulder, a small smirk played with her lips. "leave her to me, trust me" she says. "oh, gladly" you say getting up.
"where are you going?" Lita asks
"to call Alundra, I got an idea"
Tumblr media
8:24 pm, arena.
you were sneaking Alundra Blayze into the arena.
it’s not there’s other choices that could’ve been made.
Alundra was dressed like a grandma, complete with white and grey wig under a headscarf and a wooden cane. she wore huge glasses that made her face look small and layers of clothing to hide her muscles, she was walking with her back hunched over. she even went as far a wearing makeup that was badly creasing to resemble wrinkles, she was almost unrecognizable.
"are you sure this is safe?" Alundra asks, "yeah!" you reassure, "we got Owen out on the look out in the hallway to the locker rooms".
you enter the building quietly and shut the door behind you, "what if Vince, or anyone catches us?" Alundra asks, you didn't really think about what would happen if someone catches you.
"guess we'll have to see who's the best at improvising" Chyna answers, you three make your way down the seemingly endless hallway, the place her wasn't noisy, but you could here staff walking around and talking in the distance.
you're almost there, you can see the locker rooms but they're still far away. "I'm proud of you girls" Alundra says, "it's because of women like you we're able to do this Chyna says. "see, our promise is still alive and well" you smile. you three quietly talk about your matches later in the show.
until you see Owen sprinting towards you.
oh, for fuck's sake.
"VINCE IS ON HIS WAY TO YOU!" he whisper yells, you stop in your tracks wide eyes. "he what?" you ask, "he's looking for you specifically" Owen says. you sigh loudly. "what do we do now?" Chyna asks.
"oh, y/n, I was looking for you"
your locker room is right there.
everyone looks behind Owen and was Vince standing. Vince immediately looks down at Alundra, "I believe we've never met?" he narrows his eyes. "this is uhm, my grandma! she wanted to come see the show!" you blurt.
"oh sweet! nice to meet you Mrs.. uh?" Vince sticks his hand out to shake hers. "Westwood!" you say, then awkwardly chuckle, "she's sick and lost her voice". Vince looks at you, then Alundra, then you again then back Alundra. "well, it's nice meeting you ma'am" he says.
"she has to go sit down" Owen says as he opens the door to your locker room, "yeah, uhm, her knees aren't the best" Chyna says as she walks Alundra in. "there's always space for an extra front row seat if she wants, y'know?" Vince offers.
"sweet of you, but she doesn't really like people" you say. "uhm, you were looking for me?" you ask as you close your locker room's door leaving Alundra with Owen and Chyna.
"yes! I know you're not a fan of the biggest fan last minute changes but I have something that may interest you" he says.
Tumblr media
10:45 pm, backstage.
Vince wanted to know if the fans would cheer for a heel champion, he wanted to turn you heel. you thought it was still relatively early to turn you but he ended up talking you into it regardless, and here you were, regretting you decision.
you hated the idea.
you hated how you were going to turn, it'll seem so out of nowhere. the fans have established you as their babyface. it'll be so confusing for them, what if they feel betrayed?
you hated how you were going to turn so much, should you tell someone? you should definitely tell someone. but were you allowed to tell anyone?
you suddenly zone back in by the sound of the fans cheering, you look up at the t.v in front of you, Steve had won his match against Bret, and you missed the finisher. you sigh.
wait.
you look back at the t.v and realize, Steve and Bret just finished their match. you were up next.
you were next.
you look down at yourself, you were so excited to finally put on this gear when you first saw it this morning. you wore a gorgeous deep red corset top that had golden details and accents with black and red lace and leather skirt with sorts underneath to avoid wardrobe malfunctions. you wore pearl drop earrings and the necklace Hunter got you and your normal boots and gloves, but to top it all off you wore a black and red leather and lace bolero with chains.
now you don't even want to go out there and perform.
you drag your feet down the hallway towards gorilla with so much weight on your shoulders, you might as well faceplant into the floor. you were the last to enter gorilla, Shawn, Taker and Luna were stood on one side and Owen was waiting for you.
"Bret won't perform, he injury is too severe" a staff member said, you look at Vince who was sat by a monitor, glasses sitting at his nose bridge, "what are we gonna do?" you ask, he looks at you then back at the monitor, "we'll send someone out there, don't worry". how is he able to be so relaxed in a moment like this?
you open your mouth to something but immediately close when staff begin playing the Undertaker's theme.
great, now the show is falsely advertising a match.
are you even able to do this? an unwanted heel turn and two matches back to back? pfft.
<<11:00 PM, SUMMERSLAM LIVE>>
THE UNDERTAKER, SHAWN MICHALES AND LUNA VACHON
VS.
[YOURNAME LONGNAME] AND OWEN HART
the arena went dark with no lights in sight, suddenly a spot light is turned on and singular man is standing on the ramp. the man was holding a violin.
the fans listened closely as he began playing a song, it sounded familiar, very familiar especially the last cords. then he stopped playing, the fans cheered and clapped for his talent.
your name flashed across the titantron with a bright red font, then a theme song began playing, not any theme song, the theme song.
your Japanese theme song is back and is better than ever.
those who watched your new japan work were instantly going crazy, japan y/n was something special, and those who never had the joy of watching your matches then, are in for a treat.
you walked down the ramp as the fans sang your old song, you were shocked at how many knew the melody and loudly sung it. you bowed down to the violinist, showing your gratitude and respect for him, and when you lifted your head up, only then did you realize the amount of Japanese fans in attendance.
it brought tears to your eyes in the moment, they were your first supporters and they came to show their support during your first pay-per-view with the WWF, they will always hold a special place in your heart.
you enter the ring and the crowd doesn't get any quieter, Owen waled up to you and explained how you were going to call the match on the spot due to Bret's absence.
the fans watched as the referee talked to both teams, seemingly discussing something, then the referee walks over to the announce table and just from the hand gesture he was making, the fans could tell.
the match was being called off.
Jim Ross and The King both look at each other baffled before King is handed a microphone. both you and The Undertaker look at each other confused, Jerry enters the ring and stands in the between you and Taker.
"I've just been made aware that due to the imbalance between the teams, unfortunately, the match will have to be cancelled" he announces.
and the boos never stopped.
everyone in the ring looked around, completely baffled. what were you going to do? Shawn and Taker began arguing with each other and it seems to have gotten either disrespectful or just out of control, it quickly turned into a shoving competition but the referee and Jerry quickly separated them.
fucking hell.
the arena suddenly went dark again, then a theme song began playing.
The Macho Man's theme song began playing.
the crowd popped massively for him as he ran down the ramp towards the ring, Randy walked past you and Owen and straight to Jerry who handed him the microphone.
"when the teams were picked out, a two months ago, I the guy who was floating around without a team, just here, no rhyme nor a reason. but I think I've chosen who I want to wrestle with" he said.
Randy turns to you and Owen, "I think you two can use some help!".
you shake hands and the Jerry slides out of the ring and the referee calls for the bell to be rung.
the match was on.
and what a match it was.
Randy started out first and immediately went for the Undertaker, it was dream pair and a dream match. these two were both incredibly talented and they made the best out of their time together. Randy tagged you in and Taker brought in Luna.
you two were another dream duo, you hit Luna with your signature hurricanrana and Luna got to show off how crazy she can be. however, the match quickly descended into madness when Luna pinned you and Owen ran in to break up the pin. that's when Shawn jumped in and began hitting Owen.
you tagged in Owen, making him the legal man on your team. Shawn wasn't tagged in. Luna was legal. the referee managed to get Shawn out of the ring, but Luna was punching and attacking a very confused Owen and crowed loudly cheered for her.
Shawn once again jumped in and tagged himself in my tapping on Luna's shoulder, who had to be pulled away from Owen by the referee. however, Shawn and Taker's problem from earlier seemed to have gotten in the way as Taker began yelling at him from outside the ring. Shawn ignored him as him and Owen began wrestling eachother.
Owen then tagged you in before power bombing Shawn, he then set Shawn up on the turnbuckle. you got up on the opposite turnbuckle, this was going to take precision, you took in a deep breath.
you ran across the top rope towards Shawn, then hit a running hurricanrana on him that landed on the outside near the railing. the crowd pop huge for this.
the American crowd has never seen anything like this! running across the top rope? insanity. the Japanese fans have seen you do this move millions of times, yet they still cheered for you.
in the ring Randy and Taker got into it, and Randy managed to land an elbow drop on taker. while Shawn lay out on the floor, you slid into the ring and Luna attacked you again.
Shawn and Owen got into the ring, and began fighting his own teammates, screaming about how he was the legal man. you, Owen and Randy look at each other confused before letting Owen take control.
Taker grabbed Shawn and Put him in a tombstone piledriver, the crowd popped for them, but they were also confused. who turned on who?
Taker then slapped Shawn's back, tagging himself in. Shawn slipped out of the ring and onto the floor as the match continued.
as much as no one wanted his to happen, Taker had Owen in a pin, the referee began counting. one, two..
those in the crowd stood up.
no way.
The Undertaker was going to win?
right before the third count, you jumped in to break up the pin but Luna stopped you, then surprisingly, Shawn hit Taker's with a steel chair to his back and the crowd cheered.
you uppercut Luna knocking her out, Shawn stood in front of Taker who was laying on the mat, steel chair in hand. he then smiled at you, and smiled at him.
the fans stood there baffled as they watched you and Shawn embrace each other, then kiss.
oh you’re evil, most definitely.
Shawn Michaels was on your side all along.

11:00 pm, SUMMERSLAM mainevent.
you were still concerned over how the fans would react to you as a heel, even though not even ten minutes ago they showed that they would be supportive of you.
for the first time in your career you felt insecure over a role you were playing.
it was odd, but you tried to not let it get in the way of your performance. you were staring into the crowd as they cheered, but you couldn’t hear anything, everything was in slow motion and you felt a chill go down your spine as soon as you heard your name be announced.
“the following match and the main event of tonight is a triple threat match for the WWF’s women’s championship!”
the match is going to begin in any minute, Lita stood in a corner and Chyna stood in another. they both could tell that you were completely out of it as they exchanged worries glances.
you can literally hear the fans’ reassurance, they were cheering for you. there shouldn’t be a reason for why you feel so down.
it felt like everything was completely shattered by something so stupid.
this is your time, you can’t afford to let this cost you your first main event in the WWF. it took so much to convince Vince to let this happen, you can’t let him down, you can’t let the fans down, some who literally flew overseas to come see you.
you can’t let Chyna and Lita down, this was their moment too.
so you tried your best, and once the bell rang you put your mind to one thing.
you were here to wrestle, you’re here to put on a show. you’re here to do what you love.
the match started and it seemed like you and Chyna were going to gang up on Lita, she was on your team after all, but boy that was nowhere near what happened.
Chyna immediately picked you up and delivered a powerbomb, turning on you causing the crowd to go wild.
Lita took advantage of Chyna’s betrayal and while you two bickered, she leaped off of the top rope hitting you both with a frog splash. everything quickly picked up from there. Chyna was wowing the crowd with her incredible indurance and powerhouse like strength while Lita put everyone on the edge of their seats with her devilish high spots and dives.
if this match was trying to say something, it was definitely about how you three can put on a show and tear the house down. you were more than capable of completely outshining your male peers who seemed to be more privileged than you.
you three were absolute stars.
the best, however, was yet to come. the closing sequence was clearly taking place, both Lita and Chyna were laid out on the match from exhaustion. you muster up all the strength that’s left in your body and climb on the top rope.
this will get a reaction out of them.
you jump, and for the first time ever, at least on American television, you hit a shooting star press which makes the crowd go absolutely wild. you smile to yourself as you land on top of Lita.
your smile only grows as you and Chyna both rise from the mat, you go back to the top rope that’s across from Chyna. your Japanese viewers knew this too well, but once again, for the first time on American television, you were debuting a new move.
as you tried to maintain your balance on the turnbuckle, the thoughts of self doubt began resurfacing again.
you look around you for a second before closing your eyes.
you inhale.
this is what you’re meant to do, you were born for this.
you open your eyes and look at Chyna, who gives you an invisible nod. you balance yourself and steadily run across half of the top rope before before wrapping your legs around Chyna hitting a hurricanrana on her.
the three of you were sprawled on the mat breathing heavily as the crowd melted onto themselves.
they’ve never seen anything like this! and from a woman too? insanity.
you crawl to Lita, dragging her on top of Chyna then double pinning them.
the crowd counted along with the referee.
“1!2!3!” and the bell rang.
and just like that, history was made.

What's your opinion on the Sonic Prime Eggmans? /gen
Do I get to talk about regular Eggman too? At first I thought this was asking about him and I really wanna gush about him again but now I realize you probably mean the council more lol
I really loved the Prime version of regular Eggman! It was literally only five minutes worth but a very beautiful five minutes at that. Deem Bristow and Mike Pollock play huge parts of why I love Eggman and find him so entertaining so I didn't know how I was gonna feel about the change but Brian Drummond doesn't do a bad job, he could easily become my next favorite voice after them if he worked on it a little more.
I enjoyed how simplistically enjoyable Eggman was. Funny and silly and getting up to evil to find and steal the paradox prism and use it in his schemes. His ambition and motivation to take over the world there strong as ever and talking about wanting a world that's more him in neon was cute, I like and am fascinated by bright colors and pretty lights and want everything to be about you too Ivo dhfisbgjsbgkdh
I love the classic bickering and scolding Orbot and Cubot. I love how he tricked Sonic and went the route of taunting him then targeting his best friend Tails to piss him off enough to bait and make him snap for his plan to work, being a real bastard and calling him "stupid as Tails is ugly" lol. I loved how happy he was for it to work and how he laughed maniacally and looked like such an adorable evil bastard doing it!
Everything I love about Eggman was intact there and I was looking forward to seeing more. I expected it was gonna have the vibe of my favorite parts of X as that's what that five minutes felt like and that's exactly what I've been wanting for years, for modern Eggman to come back in a show and be just like that. I really miss Prime Egg and I wish he would come back but they threw him out in the first ep :(
He was so beautiful and charming and entertaining 🥰
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I miss hiiim but I'm gonna bet that he won't return in any form beyond the prismatic titan until the very end of the show or something
As for the Chaos Council, I unfortunately have much less to say as I'm personally not a fan of them. The concept certainly had the potential but the execution is lacking. They just don't have a lot going for them, they're kind of just generic character archetypes such as Baby, Teenager, Hipster, Old Man, Not Eggman, etc. They don't have regular Eggman's personality and charm and are just like strangers in his skin.
I really wish I could like them more but both their designs and personalities don't grab me. For that I only watched the first eight episodes and never watched the second batch besides the prismatic titan Eggman parts. I'd at least have been happier if they had kept regular Eggman with them, as depicted in the concept art as he was going to be a part of the council but they decided to rid of him completely.
The most cool and interesting part of Prime to me outside of regular Eggman to me is New Yoke City. I always love seeing a world taken over by Eggman and I'm a huge sucker for the dark controlled industrialized polluted dystopian hellscape where there's propaganda everywhere on the walls, orders and rules constantly being enforced through the robot patrol saying stuff like and over PAs blasting through speakers
It's an "Eggman" ruled and controlled place, a dark shitty oppressive place and people are just mindless zombies and slaves to the harsh system because they feel hopeless to break out with no freedom, controlled, restricted, and watched. The way it's spelled New YOKE city so it sounds like "yolk" like egg but is potentially a reference to a "yoke", a type of leash to control cattle, fits how they're oppressed and controlled was right up my alley.
Seeing the real Eggman in a place like that leading the Chaos Council would've been so cool. Then it could've looked like the concept as the version that I liked a lot more than the look of the final for all the regular Eggman designed inspired assets, it even has the beautiful neon and cool lights like he wants! And I just love how much it looks like Eggmanland hehe. I really wish they'd tapped into that potential.

- I love them, I love their faces, I love that we've stopped sitting around being sad and awful. I love Ringo's shirt, I love MLH being up front about how he needs his own microphones that beatles can't get away from, I love the vast amount of tea, I love the breakfasting, I love the green carpet and the white walls, I love that nothing's put together properly yet and none of it works, I love that it was a good day yesterday, (good vibes, man). I love that George is clean enough to comment on it, and that John is wearing a jumper. I love that Glyn comes in every morning looking more shagged out than any Beatle.
- The way George Martin looks at Ringo when he gets there is indecent and beautiful and I'm glad they still have someone in their lives who looks at them properly.
- I hate Glyn John's ugly black jacket I can't remember if I already complained but I will complain again it makes him look like an evil snake. It's inappropriate to the rest of his excellence.
Tumblr media
- I love Ringo telling Glyn how good the sound was on Around the Beatles, he's ridiculous with his going around happily making people feel loved. I figure he's definitely sleeping with Glyn and MLH at this point, but - and this might be controversial, I don't know - I feel like he's not sleeping with George Martin, despite all the smiling and the eyes. That's just my vibes, yvmv.
My rock and roll finger is bleeding
- MLH still wants to talk about the show, which is great and exactly what they need, because they've just got George back and we know George likes to talk about the show, it's his best thing, it's very helpful. (More fairly, we don't have the right video of that bit, so it probably wasn't immediately early morning) (more fairly still, I've just looked ahead in the book, and some of that conversation is from tomorrow, so it might just be Peter Jackson who still wants to talk about the show.)
- When John's telling Ringo how he wants the drums, and Paul and Ringo start miming the cymbal in perfect sync, I just like that very much. I like their colours together today.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- I love them laughing about the press, and the fisticuffs, I love Yoko's little dances, I love Paul dragging Glyn about by the elbow, I love his orange jumper, I love his beard and his obsidian hair, I love MLH encouraging John to juggle a knife, I love everything they play, I love how often they want things to sound like the Top Ten club, I love how leaving Hamburg was a huge mistake in a way. I love all the close ups of equipment, I love them just bothering the tech staff like children because they don't like being ignored, to the extent that Glyn eventually sends them off for lunch so he can finish getting setup without them underfoot.
- I love the weird way Ringo starts having a play with bass like he's literally never seen a guitar before, and Paul helping him, I love John's voice, I love all their voices, I love all their smiles, I love that bathroom window is Diana chords in A, I love John giving us a little flash.
Riffs on guitar, Paul, harmony on piano.
- I do not enjoy Paul reading out that whole article that they've already got over when he wasn't here, and reading it out and why and John just starting singing over it, like god make it stop.
- John and Ringo having a little cuddle on the way to the control room. It exists and it'll exist forever and they can't take it away now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Today just felt like a celebration of being back, and having a lovely new studio, and feeling good, and having George Martin around looking fondly at them, and ignoring anything difficult. Good Day. Sunshine.
