The way Lisa frankenstein’s director made these characters ARE SO GOOOOOD. So the movie seems like a very stereotypical chick flick romance movie, girl falls in love with a boy and they help eachother evolve. In that way it is, however the portrayal of other characters are completely different in the best way possible. In all the other romance movies with the main character being the loner, the family and popular kids are always portrayed as really awful people who don’t care abt anyone but themselves, however not Lisa Frankenstein!! Lisa has 3 family members: Her dad, step mom, and step sister. Her step mom is genuinely a bitch but in a really realistic way. Her step sister is super popular, super pretty, goes to parties, is a cheerleader, has half the boys at school wrapped around her fingers, and is a mommy and daddy’s girl. In every way the movie set her up for being demonized BUT THEY DIDNT. She was genuinely so nice and had a really sisterly bond with Lisa. She made Lisa feel welcomed and safe and was always there for her. and Lisa genuinely loved her as well. Even when they had a fight, Lisa still protected her. Taffy (athe step sister) was constantly shown as a good friend and the only person Lisa could rely on. When at school, Lisa has virtually no friends while Taffy is friends with a bunch of cheerleaders. Yet again, the movie had every chance to demonize the cheerleaders BUT THEY DIDNT!! This movie was absolutely amazing at portraying realistic people in an unrealistic setting. A lot of teen movies don’t accurately portray Teenagers but this movie did. I loved Taffy so much she’s such a sweetheart

Resurrection | Robert Capa x Reader 💥
Warnings: Angst, Unresolved Feelings, Lust, Thanatophobia, Yearning
Synopsis: You have wanted Robert Capa since Icarus II began, but you may never get to live out these dreams.
Author's Note: I can write angst or fluff too, tbh. I thought about writing a Pt. 2 (can either be sad or a resolution). Enjoy!
You were deeply in love with Capa, but now you may never get to tell him. He was due to fix the damaged sun shields with Captain Kaneda. Outside of the delivery of the payload, this was the most dangerous mission. Your journals were full of fantasies of a life with Capa with a resurrected Sun. These had the possibility of being incinerated by the dying star right outside the ship. You were angry with him and had no legitimate reason to be.
He came into your room and sat on the edge of your desk. He often did this after a stressful briefing with everyone. He was usually talkative but he was silent this time.
“I have no choice. I have to go.” He blurted out, virtually reading your mind.
“I know. I’ll miss you.” You said.
“What do you mean?” He said, panicking internally.
“This is a suicide mission, Capa. You know that.” You explained.
“We didn’t go into this thinking we’d survive.” He said, trying to be optimistic.
“Right. Best of luck.” You retorted. Stung by your indifference, he gave you a solemn look. Feeling guilty, you walked to him and took his hands in yours.
“I don’t want you to go, but you have my blessing. I’m sorry that I never told you how I feel.” You revealed. Kissing him sweetly, he pulled you closer and slid his hands underneath your tank top. You stopped him and pulled away slightly. Your nose brushed against his.
“Not now. Only if you make it back.” You whispered. This could be the incentive that lets him survive.
“Can we at least spend the night together?” He murmured, feeling a hard-on. This was the closest he had gotten to intimacy in months. You pulled him to the barely-comfortable bed and intertwined your limbs with his. His heartbeat lulled you to sleep. As you slipped into unconsciousness, you wondered if this would be the last time you ever heard it.
——
You watched the monitor intently as Capa got into his spacesuit. The commotion of preparation for him and Captain Kaneda became background noise. An illogical part of you wished the shields could repair themselves or Icarus could find some solution that didn’t involve the love of your life. Feeling overwhelmed, you ran to the airlock and stared at him through the small window.
“Just let me talk to him, please.” You said, voice trembling. Your colleague reluctantly opened the door. Standing before him, you leaned into the suit’s helmet and kissed him tenderly. He kissed you back fervently, desperate for any kind of physical contact. You pulled away and latched the helmet closed. He could only see your teary eyes. He felt his heart break at the thought of never seeing you again.
