I've noticed this pattern with antis in fandom where, in their attempt to distance themselves from anything and everything "problematic" in their fandoms, they refuse to acknowledge when they DO enjoy something problematic. Therefore, they don't recognize the problematic elements of the ship, character, media, etc. They'll also heavily downplay or deny any problematic. aspects of their favorite fandom thing.

I just saw an example of this and it is blowing my mind right now and I need to share this with y'all.

It involves the comments on this video.

youtube

Some context for Princess and the Frog: the blonde girl is Charlotte, also called Lottie. She's the main character Tiana's best friend. Charlotte's goal was always to marry a prince, and she almost marries (who she believes to be) Prince Naveen, but once she sees that Naveen and Tiana are in love, she tries to help them turn back human so they can be together.

At the end of the movie, Tiana and Naveen get married, and this scene plays after. Charlotte dances with Naveen's kid brother, and says "I've waited this long" in response to him saying that he's 6 and a half years old.

Now Charlotte's line here, if you look at the context clues of her story line, implies that she's saying "I've waited this long for a prince to marry, so I can wait longer for Naveen's younger brother to grow up." It's just a joke. Albeit, a joke that many will find to be very uncomfortable and inappropriate, but a joke nonetheless. I highly doubt Charlotte is actually going to "wait for" this child to grow up to marry him. She's making a joke at her expense, about her desperation of her dream to marry a prince.

BUT FOR SOME REASON.... many of the comments are like "she means that she's been waiting to DANCE with a prince."

I'm completely and utterly serious y'all. Here are some of the comments along those lines, with thousands of thumbs up each.

If you've seen this movie, you'll realize that these comments make absolutely no sense for more than one reason.

1) Charlotte danced with Prince Naveen (or at least with the villain disguised as him) earlier in the movie. She danced with a prince already. Why would that still be her dream if she already accomplished that?

2) Lottie speaks multiple times (during her childhood and in present day as a young adult) about her dream of "marrying a prince." Not dancing with a prince. Not meeting one. No, she wants to MARRY A PRINCE AND BE A PRINCESS.

This video has some clips of her saying this, at the time stamps 0:20, 2:52, 4:08, and 5:21.

youtube

Charlotte does give up her dream of marrying Naveen specifically for Tiana, because she see that he makes Tiana happy. But with how she jumps in like a wide receiver to catch the bouquet at Naveen and Tiana's wedding, it's clear she still has her dream of marrying *A* prince, just not Naveen.

But back to the comments on that video.

The comments seem to be downplaying the actual implication of her line. It's almost like they're desperately trying to ignore what she actually meant and make it more wholesome because they don't want to admit that their favorite movie has an uncomfy and inappropriate joke.

It's disturbing that this is yet another example where people in fandom (who are fantis or have been influenced by that fanti mindset) are downplaying a scene (or a ship, trope, etc) that is ACTUALLY problematic because they personally like the movie or the character and they don't want to admit that it has some issues. Instead of just admitting "yeah that scene/line was kinda fucked up and gross," they are jumping through HOOPS to make it seem more innocent than it was. And this is completely blowing my mind and is honestly concerning.

If you want to personally interpret it in a different way, in a way to make it more palatable to you, be my guest. That's what fandom and fanon is all about and I do that a lot too. But to see so many people outright deny the actual implications of this line is... bizarre af. It's one thing to be like "hmm yeah I don't like that, so I'm going to personally interpret this ship/trope/scene differently so it's more comfortable to me." It's another thing entirely to be in complete denial and ignore the actual context of the character and their story.

Also, so many of the other comments on the video aren't even commenting on the actual scene or on what Charlotte said. They're just generic comments on how much they love Charlotte as a character or how they miss this 2D animation. It's like they're trying reallyyyyyy hard to ignore the joke that's being made.

On the grander scheme, this is concerning because these people are refusing to acknowledge something that's inappropriate at best and predatory at worse (an adult "waiting" for a child to grow up) because they don't want to be caught enjoying/supporting something "bad."

All their talk about normalizing and normalization, but they're the ones kinda normalizing bad things by downplaying them or being in denial of it when it's in THEIR favorite media. And that is very concerning and a big issue.

➸ summary: jeonghan asks you to translate some of his fans’ comments, but you hadn’t expected them to be so... dirty. ➸ genre: pwp ➸ pairing: idol!jeonghan x english-speaking friend!reader ➸ warning: dirty talk, oral sex (m. and fem. receiving), face fucking, deep throating, cum swallowing <333, **the italicized comments are in english** ➸ w.c: 2.6k

this fic is based on the infamous jeonghan gym video, y’all know the one (thank you to @haechanblr for reminding me of it and helping me with this fic i love u so much!!). i was actually in the middle of writing this when hoshi decided to post his own gym video and PHEW. JEEZ. I’M STILL RECOVERING. anyway, i hope you guys enjoy this one bc i really enjoyed writing it 💖 🍑

[ foreversvt ] commented: I AM ON MY KNEES [ yoon1004 ] commented: is it jeonghan’s birthday or is it mine [ happy bday angel! ] commented: YOON JEONGHAN ???? [ twinkluvr69 ] commented: grrr wanna slurp those noodle arms like spaghetti

You continue scrolling through the comments left underneath the video, trying to keep your face composed as you come across more and more explicit reactions from fans all over the world. Seokmin had uploaded the video to Weverse as an innocent birthday prank for Jeonghan, but he probably had not anticipated just how horny their fans could get over a seemingly harmless video of Jeonghan doing some leg presses. To be fair to the fans though, you yourself had watched the clip several times and you would be lying if you didn’t say you were… affected.

“Well? What are they saying?” Jeonghan leans over to watch you scroll, and you are acutely aware of the warmth of his arm pressing against yours. The two of you are sitting on the floor of your living room with your backs resting against your couch, hanging out after a small birthday dinner with some of his other friends. As one of Jeonghan’s english-speaking friends, he had asked you to help him translate some of his birthday wishes before his day ended, though you’re not sure how to tell him that his fans are not exactly sending in wholesome professions of love.

Instead, you decide to try giving him some tamer versions in the hopes of satisfying him before you get to anything too blunt. “This user says you have noodle arms, but I think they like it so it’s okay.”

“Hey! I’ve been trying my best to get thicker, but not all of us can be born beefed up like Seungcheol.”

“You asked me what they said!” you laugh. “Most of these are just birthday messages anyway-- I’m sure you don’t need me to translate ‘Happy birthday, I love you!’ a thousand times.”

“Yeah, obviously I understand the more common phrases, but there’s so many that I don’t understand today for some reason!” Jeonghan huffs, then points to a comment that you had purposefully hid under your thumb. “Like okay, what’s that one say?”

[ seungcheolswife ] commented: wow the way this video made my pussy clench,,,,

“Uh,” you start, already feeling your ears go warm. Should you just lie? It’s not like he would be able to tell, right? You and Jeonghan are close, but not so close that you can just say these things to him. Especially when this comment may be hitting a little too close to home for you. Even now, you remember the bolt of arousal that shot to your pussy the moment you heard Jeonghan’s first grunt of effort. You bite your lip. No, Jeonghan really didn’t need to know about that. “I-it says something like ‘you made their heart flutter’.”

“Wait.” Jeonghan takes a moment to scan your face before his eyes narrow at you suspiciously. You give him your best innocent smile, but you already know he’s caught you. You had always been a shitty liar. “What does it really say? Is it bad?”

You sigh. Of course he hadn’t bought it. “No, it’s not bad. I just don’t know if you want to hear stuff like this…”

“Well now I have to know. Tell me exactly what it says.”

“E-exactly?” You meet Jeonghan’s stern gaze and you know that there’s no convincing him otherwise. What Jeonghan wants, Jeonghan gets. “I-it says that the video made their p-pussy clench.”

After several beats of silence, you look over to Jeonghan to see he is completely unaffected by the comment. Or maybe he is. His eyes glint mischievously in the light when he responds. “I said exactly, baby. Try again.”

Your whole body feels hot under his smug, expectant gaze; you should be surprised by the sudden pet name, but it only makes your mind fuzzy with the beginnings of arousal. You swallow thickly, unable to disobey him. “T-this video made m-my pussy clench.”

“So naughty… Just this short clip has your cute little pussy all needy,” Jeonghan clicks his tongue, but a knowing grin spreads on his lips. His words have you shifting in your seat in an attempt to relieve the dull ache setting in between your legs, though you don’t dare let it on. It’s clear Jeonghan is playing a game with you, and although you know you’re going to lose, you’ll be damned if you let him win so easily. “Let’s read some more, hm? Translate this one for me.”

[ daddy_hannie ] commented: omg i bet jeonghan makes the hottest sounds when he’s fucking

The comment he scrolls to nearly makes you whimper. It’s embarrassing how clearly you can recall the sound of each of his low groans coming through the screen, how sexy he sounded. Images of Jeonghan on top of you, his eyebrows furrowed as he grits out desperate groans of pleasure, leave you in a daze while your panties quickly dampen with your arousal.

“Go on.” Jeonghan’s firm tone only makes you squirm more, and this time he takes note of the way your breathing has gone shallow and how your eyes are already hazy.

“I bet Jeonghan makes the hottest sounds when he’s fucking,” you say softly.

Jeonghan chuckles, his breath tickling against your neck. “Now you’re just making me blush, sweetheart. I bet you’d make some pretty noises when I’m fucking into you too,” he muses casually. You finally let out a soft whine, tired of holding your breath as he moves to tuck a strand of your hair behind your ear.

“J-jeonghan…”

“Hm, I think we should read a couple more,” the boy says, ignoring you and scrolling through more of the comments. You pout - your wetness has already soaked through your panties, your cunt just aching for his attention, but of course Jeonghan isn’t done teasing you.

You’re wondering how long it will take for him to finally push your back to the floor and fuck you senseless when you spot a comment that might help you get you what you want quicker. ”I want to read this one,” you tell him, already rubbing your thighs together in anticipation.

[ ~hanniehae!~ ] commented: god i KNOW your dick is big like PLEASE I WANNA SUCK UR DICK SO BAD

He raises an amused eyebrow at you, and you wait for him to stop you, biting back a smile when he doesn’t. You make sure to look him in the eyes when you say it, his own dark eyes telling you that he’s impatient for you too, and you nearly let it out in a whine from how much you mean it. “Please Jeonghan… I want to suck your dick so bad.”

For a sliver of a moment, Jeonghan goes rigid. Then, his smug smile returns as he brings up a thumb to tug on your bottom lip. “Mmm, such a pretty mouth saying such filthy words,” he sighs, shaking his head. “If you wanted to put it to good use, all you had to do was ask, baby.”

Jeonghan chuckles at how eagerly you follow him as he moves to sit on the couch behind you, keeping his hold on your chin so that you keep your eyes on his. He has you kneel between his legs and you don’t waste any time in reaching for the button and zipper on his jeans.

The man helps you tug his pants and boxers down to his ankles, and your mouth waters at the sight of his hard cock springing back against his stomach. Of course it’s pretty just like the rest of him. “You’ve been teasing me all this time, but you’re already this hard?” you whisper tauntingly as you lean forward to ghost your lips over the base of his shaft.

Jeonghan’s shaky exhale does not go unnoticed by you, but his response comes out smooth as ever. “Could you blame me? You just looked so cute getting all worked up from saying all those dirty things about me. I bet your little panties are soaked through by now-- guh!” He lets out a surprised groan when you suddenly flatten your tongue against him, letting it drag slowly up to his tip.

“You talk too much.” You look up at him with a smile before you wrap your lips around his leaking tip, savoring the taste of him on your tongue. Teasingly, you swirl your tongue against his slit until you feel his hand thread through your hair, as though he’s begging you for more. You decide to be nice, lowering your mouth further down his cock, letting him feel the slide of your wet tongue on his sensitive skin.

A soft sigh leaves his lips at the sensation, pleasantly carding his fingers through your hair as you take as much of him as you can. “That’s it. Good girl.”

His praise has you clenching around nothing, and you whine as you steadily begin to bob your head along his hard cock, reveling in how he would let out small whimpers whenever you would lightly suckle on it.

Just as he gets used to the feeling of your mouth on him, you suddenly take him as deep as you can into your mouth, hollowing your cheeks tightly around his cock. “Oh, f-fuck!” Jeonghan lets out a strangled moan, his hips lifting from the couch to fuck further into your mouth.

You feel the tip of his cock hit the back of your throat, but it only spurs you on even more as you swallow around him, causing him to throw his head back in ecstasy. At this point, a dull ache starts setting in your jaw and drool begins to messily slip from the corners of your mouth as you return to sucking him at a more steady pace, and you feel your pussy throb from how dirty it all felt. Though you and Jeonghan did flirt occasionally, he had always felt off-limits to you-- he’s an idol and you’re just one of his normal-person friends. But here you are with his cock in your mouth, all thanks to the horny thoughts of his fans no less.

To their credit, they were right. Jeonghan does make the hottest sounds while fucking. He lets out another throaty groan from above you and, unexpectedly, he pulls you off his cock. His pupils are blown wide with desire, his chest heaving slightly as he looks at the state you’re in with your swollen lips and the drool on your chin. “Can I fuck your mouth?” he asks breathlessly.

“Yes please,” you reply, voice already a little hoarse from your efforts. You shift back on your knees to make room for Jeonghan when he stands, opening your mouth obediently when he moves to slide his cock back onto your tongue. Jeonghan tightens his grip on your hair, keeping you still as he starts to fuck into your mouth with quick, shallow thrusts. “Mmh!”

“Fuck, your mouth feels so fucking good, baby,” Jeonghan sighs appreciatively. You bring your hands up to grip at the backs of his thighs to keep yourself steady when his thrusts become a little more erratic, causing you to gag around him as his cock continues to hit the back of your throat. Still, all your focus remains on hearing more of Jeonghan’s pleasured groans, on seeing his face scrunch up in absolute bliss, so you keep your mouth open wide despite the tears that prick at your eyes. When Jeonghan looks down at you taking his cock, eyes glazed over and fucked out, he curses loudly. “Shit-- can I come in your mouth?”

Unable to speak with your mouth stuffed full, you cutely give him a thumbs up. Jeonghan would have laughed if he wasn’t so close to cumming. With several more thrusts, he cries out a strained warning before his hot release fills your mouth. He rides out his orgasm, twitching in your hold as his pleasure bleeds into oversensitivity. Once he’s pulled out, you make sure to stick your tongue out so he can see how his cum coats your tongue right before you swallow it all down; all he can do is smile thinking about how he really should have fucked you sooner.

“So good for me,” Jeonghan says to you softly, helping you up to your feet so that he can pull you into a heated kiss full of tongue and whimpers. You desperately grip onto Jeoghan’s shirt, pressing your body against him in search for some sort of relief for the arousal that is pumping through you and straight to your neglected pussy. He can’t help but smile against your lips. “Don’t worry, baby, I’ll take care of you now.”

You let him lead you to sit on the couch-- this time you are the one sitting on the edge of the cushions with Jeonghan’s head between your legs. He slides a hand over your clothed core, humming when he finds that you really have soaked straight through your panties. Just as you begin to squirm underneath his teasing fingers, he strips you of both your leggings and underwear in one swift movement, leaving you bare before him.

The sight of him pushing your legs apart is enough to leave you in a daze. Your breath catches when you feel cool air brushing against your inner thighs, slick with your wetness, then it all comes out in a whine when you feel Jeonghan’s velvet tongue swipes at the spot for a taste. “O-oh!” a cry slips from your lips once his tongue finally slides through your folds. “Mmh!”

“Does it feel good?” Jeonghan whispers, not bothering to wait for a proper answer because your broken moans tell him to keep going. He spreads your lips open with his fingers, eating you out slowly and deliberately as though he is savoring his favorite meal.

The room is filled with your soft whimpers and the lewd sounds of Jeonghan’s mouth working against your pussy and it only tightens the pressure in your stomach, causing your toes to curl. “P-please-- please let me cum,” you rasp out, and your eyes roll to the back, your hand clutching tightly at the back of Jeonghan’s head, at the feeling of his tongue flattening against your clit. “Ngh! Y-yes!”

He skillfully flicks his tongue on your bud, shaking his head back and forth until his chin is absolutely covered in your juices. When your hips begin to move of their own accord, he lets you ride his face as you please, his cock twitching at how desperate you are for him. “S-so good,” you sob, only able to mutter unintelligible nonsense in your delirium. Then, he wraps his mouth around your clit, and you’re left squealing as your legs begin to shake from how obscenely good it feels. “Shit, I-- I’m--!”

You come undone with a loud cry of Jeonghan’s name, your body going rigid from how hard your orgasm hits you. Jeonghan takes it all, his eyes closed as he works you through your release, only letting up when you slump away from him.

The both of you finally look at each other properly in the aftermath, chests heaving and hair wild. Suddenly you’re both erupting in giggles at the realization of what you two had just done. “What are you looking at?” Jeonghan asks, eyes bright as he smiles handsomely up at you.

You reach down to swipe your thumb against his chin, which is still shining with your cum, barely able to contain your giggles. “Who’s got the dirty mouth now?”

i have even more ideas now...

what about like the moment you open up about your relationship with kazuxiao the fans who were already seeing that happen were celebrating and on both of y'alls insta or something is where you announce and it's like a picture of all 3 of you chilling together or something

and then when they finally appear on a variety show they're just questioned throughly and they talk about how you guys meet and what they like about you

ok but the moments where you just feel sort of insecure since being an idol is hard and you're technically dating your seniors and you're just hit by the antis who are against yourself relationship so you lock yourself in your room in your dorm by yourself to cope. your roommate (can be whoever) contacts them both and they immediately come over and come in and offer soft kisses and soft murmurs of reassurance that they'll never leave you and that everything's gonna be ok.

side note i can see xiao just being a whole meme without realizing?? for like variety shows he's just known for his dead pan expression and then i can see him being so competitive on shows like running man..mans ripping tags left and right, while kazuhas just hiding in a weird spot or something

kazuha on the other hand i can see him being a troll, he likes to mess around with the hosts of the show and manages to mess up some of their plans, he also likes messing with his group members, where xiao likes to say that kazuha looks innocent but is a part of the devil line with venti

onto albedo i can see him like answering questions in his vlive and fans realize that a lot of his songs are more romantic and sort of pining?? and they're asking where the motivation is from. he answers that it's just something that he saw recently so he felt motivated (it wasn't the fact that he had realized that he was 100% in love with you)

but like all of this mans inspiration comes from you, he's had multiple songs dedicated to you before your relationship was even open to the public, and when your relationship finally does, it just clicks for fans and it suddenly makes sense, your ship name trends worldwide for the day

but how you and albedo met, i can see both of you guys being in the industry already and you guys are sort of know each other but it was for a one time off collab with other artists involved so you didn't really talk with each other. like i said before albedos a solo artist while i can see you being a part of a popular group already. but then both of your companies decided to do another collab and especially picked you two since you guys already worked on a collab before.

at first it was like awkward since albedos really socially awkward but then things click when you guys start writing the song together. everything just matches so well?? and you guys just compliment each other?? and that's when you learn of albedo just staying at the studio so late so you often bring food. this leads to you guys getting closer and albedo even stops his work just to talk to you more. when your song comes out and everyone is waiting for the stage, there's just so much tension?? but the good kinda and everyone is awed by the song and the vocals coming from you and albedo.

i can also see the both of you guys appearing on variety shows together too, like appearing on a show where you two travel to another place and experience the culture there, with albedo being your tour guide and showing you all the famous places (one of the many times where fans were awed by his research and knowledge) and then if you guys were to appear together again after you guys reveal your relationship, a lot of the times they show idols as they wake up, they'll see you and albedo being clingy af to each other.

on another side note, albedos totally a troll on variety shows, he likes messing around with the hosts and other contestants since a lot of the time he's not really interested in the show itself, it's more for publicity. however, when he first appeared on a show with you fans noticed that he actually seemed interested for once and that's where your ship name started.

albedos totally a golden child tho, he's like basically perfect in everything so a lot of the times variety shows don't catch him slipping, however the one time that he did was when you were mentioned, the clip of with his ears bright red was trending for a couple of days :)

GIVING ME SO MUCH GOOD FOOD THANK YOU ANON

I think that this covers everything hehehe so I won't add to-

wait wait I put it all under the cut b/c it's a lot again-

Okay okay but like for the 'announcement' picture, what if it's like those photo booth pics (but like each picture you need to scroll through like on Insta) where it's cute and wholesome! The three of you are having fun wearing some silly glasses or hats, doing peace signs or finger hearts....and the very last photo is the three of you sharing a kiss- or, at least trying to.

It's sweet, a little silly, and most of your fans take it really well! After all, they can see the chemistry that you share and can't deny that the three of you would have a good relationship.

As for the insecurities of dating your seniors, Kazuha and Xiao are quick to knock back any of those worries. They love you so, so much and hate the fact that something like that makes you doubt for a single second. If anyone ever tries to bring it up, you know that they're going to immediately quip back.

Naturally, you're roomed with Venven :D He's technically an up-and-coming after he stopped doing idol stuff for a few years, so not only does he know the ropes, but he's also one of your biggest fans and biggest supports (outside of Kazuha and Xiao).

Though he's silly and light-hearted, he's quick to recognize when things are serious and need handling.

So as soon as he sees that you're not doing so great or if he notices the comments on your posts are going in a bad direction, he speed dials Xiao and the two of your boyfriends are right at the door in under 15.

Not only are they fast about it, but they have all your favorite snacks, a movie or two, some popcorn, and a ton of love and affection because they'll be damned if their love is going to be affected by some asshole's comments about their love life! What do they know anyway??

Actually this all could work too if Kazuha and Xiao are part of 4NEMO-

Hmmm

That'd cause so much more ruckus- not only is half of one of the most popular idol groups are taken, but by the same person??? And each other??? Man, that's wack.

BUT THE GAMESHOWS

Xiao would most certainly be super intense with those. He just can't help it--competition drives his blood and makes something snap in him. He's dead serious about doing well, regardless of the game. I actually have never watched said game shows, but--

Like...he's out for blood. No one is safe. Not even you or Kazuha if you're on opposing teams, though he'll be a bit more gentle. Maybe even with the hint of a smile while you have an expression of utter shock at the fact that he's just so fast-

Or if it's not a game show and instead you're doing some sort of idol group activity with a few others to get to know each other?

Someone suggests ping pong and, knowing how competitive Xiao gets, he's pitted up against Tartaglia and man. That's scary. There's no doubt that someone would clip the video and make it into an overly-dramatic retelling complete with music.

Hilarious.

As for Kazuha! He'd be a bit of a mish mosh! He enjoys poking fun at others, and he's so sly! Those poor hosts don't realize that he's goading them on, but sure enough--he is. Who knew that his charming smile and mild-mannered attitude could be so devastating?

But even then, he's mostly wholesome! There's a lot of little clips, mostly of your doing, of him in a 'kiss the chef' apron getting caught off guard while cooking something up. The videos aren't great because you're giggling while recording and he ends up placing the ladle down calmly before wrapping you up in his arms. Half the video ends up being the two of you laughing and joking while it's pointed at a weird angle towards the counter.

Sometimes it'll point just right and you'll get a half-blurred view of Xiao sitting at the kitchen island with his reading glasses perched on his nose and book forgotten. He tends to get up and join in for a few smooches before reminding Kazuha of the food that's still cooking.

Albedo!! He absolutely is the golden child. He's fantastic handling things under pressure in a cool, calm manner. Handsome, charismatic, incredibly smart--man's hit all the stops and just keeps going.

It's not until it comes out that the two of you are together that his cool façade (hardly one, though) falters and at the mere mention of you, he'll go soft. There's a tenderness in his eyes, a small smile on his lips, and his blush? Absolutely adorable. How can anyone object when he's obviously so in love with you?

And the idea you mentioned with the two of you traveling and experiencing stuff together sounds so cute (':

He particularly enjoys exploring new cuisine, so expect him to feed you some food from his plate-

There's also a few times where you two have gotten lost in the new places, more because you're both so busy taking in the sights to realize you've taken five wrong turns- But then you make it into a whole adventure, foregoing the map and deciding to wander around. What better way to discover and learn about somewhere than getting lost and wandering?

You find quite a few hidden gems this way since otherwise you'd be hitting more popular areas!

Wait- do they really show idols waking up???

Ahh regardless, Albedo's definitely a cuddler. He loves it, can't get enough of it. It's not often that he gets a good night's rest, but with you it seems like he's fully recharged and ready for the day! It's cute too because it doesn't matter--big spoon or little spoon, you on his chest or him resting on yours. Even a few times with you facing each other with your hands intertwined.

I also agree that Albedo would mess with the game show's hosts and contestants. Not only would he, but he'd be entirely smug about it (after all, we need to have that #smugbedo going on).

No doubt, there's been times where the cameras even focus/zoom in on him where he's sitting because he's got that smirk on his face.

Crown prince of Stewjon obi and Ven’Alor jango childhood sweethearts

(JangObi Ao3: *congested with dark and possessive and stockholm aus* me: me: anyways here's wholesome JangObi in love

also for @ironhoshi because i just. i love hosh. and their soulmate fic Drarulam. i’m sorry i keep missing your messages, lovely T0T)

"Please at least pretend to be concerned about your own safety," Jango begs as they move quickly through the castle halls, and his charge has the gall to laugh at him.

"I surely don't know what you mean, a mhuirnín," Obi-Wan says lightly, as if they didn't in fact have a mob of pissed-off Gardulla the Hutt supporters and slavers storming the castle as they speak.

Jango levels him with a glare, and Obi-Wan at the very least winces. "One of these days, I'm not going to be around to stop you mouthing off to the wrong person, and they're going to decapitate you."

"That's hardly fair," Obi-Wan says, letting Jango tug him into a smaller corridor and down a short flight of stairs. "After all, it's not as if you've ever not been there."

"Then you are a fool as well as an idiot."

"I'm not sure how your father would feel knowing you call your employer an idiot."

"Don't you kriffing dare tell Jaster about this, or I'll decapitate you."

Obi-Wan laughs and slips Jango's grip on his wrist to his hand instead. "Another secret between us, then."

“This isn't part of my contract."

Obi-Wan looks up from the blaster rifle he's trying to unjam with the remains of a droid antenna, as Jango pops up and fires his own blaster out the shattered window, releasing a volley of bolts before ducking back down under the sill.

"Isn't your contract to protect me?" Obi-Wan smiles benignly, jamming the antenna into the rifle's entry chamber until he feels a soft click, and the entire rifle starts to hum as it powers up again.

"No, my contract is to protect the entire royal family, not just your hyperactive shebs."

He scoffs and scoots along the floor until he's close enough to slip his hand into the front of Jango's jacket and relieve him of a blaster cartridge, Jango angling himself so Obi-Wan has easier access as he shoots another volley out the window. Obi-Wan actually feels sort of bad for whoever owns the house they've barricaded themselves in, when another window shatters under the blasterfire from the slave runners that they hadn’t been able to lose after escaping the castle. He’ll have to find the owner and pay for the damages, whenever they get out of this mess.

"I'm not hyperactive." Locking in the cartridge, Obi-Wan slams the safety off and twists in place to rock to his feet, crouched as he sets the barrel of his rifle onto the sill. Making sure to keep his head down, he lets the Force gently guide his hands until he has Gardulla's lackeys in his scope. "I simply think it's ludicrous that I have to pretend to tolerate that slimy bastard's even slimier followers." He fires twice, then dips back down to let the rifle cool down; not for the first time, Obi-Wan envies Jango's Westars.

Jango growls. “Where the kriff is Myles?”

With a snort, Obi-Wan takes out two more human slavers. “Probably trying to get into Cerasi’s pants.”

“Please don’t make me imagine your sister’s pants.”

“Weren’t you in love with her when we were ten?”

“Your highness, please focus on the task at hand.”

“Oh, we’re pulling out titles, now? Well then, trooper, the one in the blue hat is their leader, and the rest are probably too stupid to make decisions without them.”

Jango glances down at him, face twisted unhappily, but easily takes out the human with the blue hat; their body jolts and then tips off the roof to hit the stone road in a heap, and the blasterfire abruptly stops. Cowards.

Settling the rifle muzzle at the corner of the sill to make a mental map of the remaining shooters, Obi-Wan feels Jango shift to pull out his comm, before cursing softly in Mando’a. At his raised brow, Jango holds up the comm.

“No kriffing signal. Not just a weak one, it can’t find a connection anywhere.”

“They haven’t had the time to take out the comm towers,” Obi-Wan says, and Jango grunts his agreement.

“Not since you mouthed off to them in the throne room, no. They must have set something up before their audience with you.”

Which has more implications than Obi-Wan really has the status to do anything about with Cerasi still off-world for another cycle, but something like glee fills his chest. “So I could have said anything to them?” he asks innocently, “They were going to attack no matter what I did?” and Jango drags a hand down his face.

“You’ll be unbearable after this,” he sighs, clipping his comm back onto his vambrace so he can carefully switch to the other side of the window. “How many Twi’lek were there?”

“Three, not including the one you shot in the hangar bay. I count four humans,” Obi-Wan answers, still smiling because he’ll be holding this over Jango for kriffing weeks.

“I count five.” Jango checks his blaster cartridge while Obi-Wan quickly finds the last human slaver that he’d missed in the furthest alley. “You have the rooftops?”

“And the fifth, he’s too far for your Westars.”

When Jango had first started coming to Stewjon with Jaster, Obi-Wan wasn’t even allowed to know blasters existed, much less know how to fire one. He still isn’t sure how Jaster had weaseled a teaching contract out of the King on top of the first guard contracts, and Jango knows intimately how far Obi-Wan has come in terms of defending himself, having spectated his lessons with Jaster since Obi-Wan was ten. Even a year younger, Jango could wipe the floor with him then, just by virtue of being the Mand’alor’s foundling.

So the half-smitten look Jango shoots him from across the window has two decades of understanding behind it; even after this long, Obi-Wan flusters under the praise.

“If we didn’t have people to kill, I’d kiss you,” Jango announces, smile set back into a frown, but his eyes glint in amusement.

Obi-Wan brushes up against him in the Force instead, because even though Jango can’t respond, he can still feel it. “There will be time later, a mhuirnín,” Obi-Wan murmurs, just to see his eyes crinkle at the corners.

Cerasi is already in the throne room when they finally make it back to the castle the next morning, looking up from where she stands by the war table and immediately closing her eyes in search of patience. Her personal guard, Nield, straightens at her side and turns quickly to hide his sudden guffaw.

And Obi-Wan knows they look quite the sight, half-drowned from their escape through the mote with Jango’s helmet conspicuously missing; the sleeved-cloak wrapped around Obi-Wan clearly wasn’t made for him. Soot somehow still smears their faces even after their impromptu swim, and it really doesn’t paint the prettiest picture of their afternoon.

“Brother dear,” Cerasi says, her tone dangerous as Obi-Wan hops forward to plant a quick kiss on her cheek, “I thought I told you you weren’t to start a war with the Hutts while I was gone.”

He winces, but still tries to charm his twin with a smile. “This time it really wasn’t my fault, ‘Rasi: Gardulla has been planning this for years.”

“Mhm,” she pretends to humor him, before turning a raised brow to Jango. “And you, you were supposed to keep him out of trouble.”

“The only way to do that would be to muzzle him,” Jango says, completely serious, and Nield nearly chokes on his tongue.

Obi-Wan sniffs in offense, turning to lean against the table and careless of any buttons he might sit on. “I do wish you’d save such discussions for behind closed doors, love.”

Jango and Cerasi release a sigh in tandem, that exhausted sort of resignation the only thing his sister and his partner can agree on.

“You could always tie him down,” Nield offers, voice strangled as his shoulders shake, his humor nearly vibrating him out of his beskar’gam.

“This isn’t part of my contract,” Jango growls — even though any Mando that takes a Stewjoni contract knows that the royal family are almost violently wont to adopt them, if the Mand’alor doesn’t negotiate the terms himself.

(Although, sometimes they aren’t safe, even then.)

A mhuirnín — “my dear”, Irish Gaelic (Google is telling me a different spelling than I grew up with so (ノ*゜▽゜*)?? ) shebs — “ass” or “rear end”, Mando’a beskar’gam — Armour made of beskar, “Mandalorian Iron” that was actually probably a steel alloy Ver’alor — “lieutenant”, Mando’a

Fluff alphabet : Donny Donowitz

A while back I saw a couple of templates this Fluff Alphabet concept is based on. Unfortunately I cannot remember which(really not intentional, id never copy ideas/templates on purpose) . If you think I've gotten inspired reading your work, please let me know!

A = Admiration (What does he absolutely adore/admire about you?)

-Your ability to always stay calm. It amazes him how you stay calm no matter what happens. When there's an emergency you´re able to keep your shit together and do something about it.

-How ballsy you are. You can't stand when people are being a jerk for no reason and you call them out even if they are twice your size.

-Your reliability. Donny knows you will always be there for him. A thought that calms him and makes him feel warm and fuzzy. You won´t leave him for no reason. You comfort him when he needs it (even if he says he doesn't) and you support him.

B = Baby (Does he want a family? Why/why not?)

Yes. Yes. Yesssssss. I cannot express how much this man wants to start a family with his one great love. Even with all the crap he has seen, the idea of bringing something as pure and innocent as a baby into this world with you is very appealing.

When you're pregnant he´d be giddy. Completely and wholly his. He'd spoil his princess even more than usual. Extra pillow underneath your head, accompanying you everywhere, opening up doors for you. Honestly, his ´helpfulness´ drives you crazy sometimes.

C = Cuddle (how do you cuddle each other?)

-Big spoon. Every time. Tends to throw his leg over yours in his sleep, which in turn makes sure you´re not going anywhere. -Very intense cuddler. Likes to surprise you by grabbing/cuddling you from behind and lifting you up (especially when there's other people present like his friends).

-Really loves it when you snuggle up against him, laying your head on his chest. When you do this it is another reassurance that you feel utterly and completely safe and relaxed when you are with him.

D =Doll (What pet names does he use?)

Doll, babe, sugar, cutiepie , and his favourite; princess.

E = evenings (how do they spend their evening? So they go out? Do they read?)

While he loves hanging out with the boys he loves it even more when you join them. You get along really well with Wicki and Aldo so why wouldn't he try to take you with him? As soon as you guys had the baby he preferred just staying home with you both being wholesome and all.

F = first date (what was it like?)

He took you out to play pool. After both of you getting over your nerves there was lots of banter. He discovered you were better at it than he expected you to be. Tough, you totally did pretend you sucked at first so he had no choice but to show you how to play. He didn't mind ´having´ to be so close to you one bit.

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

He tries to be. He is such a bull in a china shop. He's big, he's loud… and secretly quite clumsy. The sheer amount of times he accidentally headbutted you is astounding. He makes up for it by giving you the gentlest of kisses on you forehead when he leaves for work or simply thinks you're being cute.

H = Hands (How does he like to hold hands?)

He likes holding hands, but he prefers it when you hook your arm through his. What can I say, he likes having you close to him. It also makes it easier for him to sneak kisses.

I = Impression (What was his first impression?)

The basterds introduced the two of you. He thought you were hella pretty and had a good sense of humour. The fact that you could hold your own around these men sure said something about you too.

J = Jealous (Does he get jealous easily?) Depends who gets close to you. He never gets jealous when any of the other basterds get near you. You could have Aldo hanging around your neck and Wicki winking at you and he won't give it a second thought. He trusts these boys with anything. However, these are not things strange men should do if they like having nuts. Or eating without a straw. Seriously, he knows you can handle yourself perfectly fine but he just doesn't trust others. He knows what men are capable of and he is protective AF. No one gets near his princess. Not that anyone that knows this huge man belongs to you would try anything.

K = Kiss (How does he kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

He kissed you on the lips first. You´d kissed his cheek long before that. You usually did when saying goodbye. This time he just couldn't help himself. You were so close to him, laughing at his jokes, touching his arm. He kissed you firmly on the lips, waiting for a response from you. Once you realised what was happening and kissed him back he immediately grabbed you and held you close to him, deepening it.

Donny is a passionate kisser and never passes up a chance to kiss you hello or goodbye or goodnight. He also likes to kiss you to assert his dominance over other men.

L = Love (Who said I love you first?)

He looooooves going picknicking with you. Just chilling out in the park or in the woods, enjoying some good food and each other's company. It was one of the first dates you went on and he will never forget the way you looked in your navy coloured dress, smiling up at him. It was the moment he realised he would never let you go. That he loves you to bits. It took him another week or so to casually tell you this when going to bed. As if it weren't anything significant or interesting.

M=Mad (Do you often disagree? What happens if you do?)

You do tend to bicker about the stupidest things. But it's a nice way of bickering. It's usually playful and you just try to convince one another. If you do actually get in a fight, Donny gets uncharacteristically quiet. To be honest, it kind of scares you, even though he would never do anything to hurt you. After you've cooled off he comes up to you to make up.

N = no (what is their pet peeve?)

Loud chewing, rude people, people that clip their nails in public, and socks that get lost in the laundry. WHERE DO THEY GO???

O = Orange (which color reminds him of you?)

This is so utterly fucking cheesy, but the colour that reminds him most of you is red. It is the colour of love. Donny always has been and will be a sucker for cheesy things. He also likes to ask you if it hurt when you fell from heaven. Get matching coffee cups.

P = parent (what kind of parent would they be?)

He's quite protective of his kids, especially of his baby girl. Real papa Bear material. I pity the boy that wants to date his daughter…. He can be tough at times, especially when they did something he really dislikes like being disrespectful or lying. He would never hurt his kids but he would ground them in a heartbeat. That said, he would do anything for his kids as he´d do for you.

Q = Queasy (How they handle being sick or you being sick)

When you get sick, he's such a sweetheart. He fluffs your pillow, gets you medicine and attempts to make you soup to help you feel better (he can't cook to save his life, so you can imagine how well that went). You often tell him you can actually get around and so some chores with a bit of a temperature or a simple stomach ache. He won't have any of that though.

Donny doesn't get sick often, but when he does he is such a man about it.

R = Rainy Day (what does he like to do with you on rainy days?) Stay in. Get cozy. Play games. Have friends over. Have some drinks.

S = smile (what makes them smile without fail) Your face when you have to get out of bed in the morning: a slightly grumpy, sleepy bed head looking up at him. You being overly excited about a pet or animal. You surprising him with a hug.

T = together (how clingy are they? How long do you two spend together per day on average)

Donny works quite a lot and he works hard. He takes care of his family and likes to spend a good amount of time with them (he takes you with him of course ). You don't have a lot of alone time. However, as soon as he comes home from work he quickly makes his way to you to sweep you up in his arms and shows you how much he missed you during the day. He then spends the next half hour following you around in the kitchen.

U = Unencumbered (what helps him relax?) Doing sports (have you seen him?), having fun with friends, he also finds watching you cook or bake (and eatin it afterwards) very relaxing and mostly, actually, having sex.

V = videos (do they take lots of videos or photos during your relationship?)

He keeps a photograph of you with him wherever he goes. It's his lucky charm. You two also keep a small photo album with photos of the most important moments. This includes some pictures of him and the guys, pictures of your wedding day and pictures of your family and kids.

W = Wedding (What is your wedding like?)

It's a given that Donny likes to joke around and pull crazy shit. Not on his wedding day he doesn't. He is a nervous wreck when getting ready. He takes everything going well very seriously. What will you look like? Will you have gotten cold feet at the thought of spending your entire life with his crazy, annoying ass. Are they stupid and ungrounded thoughts? 100 percent. Do they successfully drive him nuts and jittery? Definitely. And definitely a couple sips of Aldo´s bourbon worthy. The wedding itself was pretty simple. The people you loved were there. Traditions were honored and the food was good. Donny couldn't hold back the tiny tear that slipped down his cheek when he saw you in your dress.

X = eXtra (what’s an interesting fact about them that they don’t tell anyone about?) Once upon a time when you were dating he decided to steal your bathrobe to open the door for the delivery guy and he kind of never stopped stealing your bathrobe. Have in mind your bathrobe is really big (for you) and pink. And Fluffy. And Donny is a tall man so it comes up to just about the middle of his hairy thigh. It's hilarious that you actually had to buy yourself a new one.

Y = yuck (what do they hate? Could be a food, sent, word anything)

This isn't really a hard one honestly. The thing he hates most in this world are nazis and bigots alike. It makes his blood boil like nothing else.

Other things he hates are: people that are unnecessarily rude or disrespectful, wet socks, and smelly cheeses.

Z = Zebra (if he wanted a pet, what would he get?)

A dog. He thinks they´re great companions, and you can get crazy with them. Also, he wants a big dog. He doesn't get along with cats at all. Wouldn't know how to act around them. He always gets scratched.

skz as dads

♡ skz.group

♡ rated.f

wow it’s been a hot minute since I wrote something like this --spx

♡ Chan

The moment you told him he was going to be a dad he’d already be jumping with joy

Like he would absolutely be ecstatic

He’s the“babe we HAVE TO get this for the baby I know they’ll love it” or the “look at what I got for the baby” kinda dad

And when his baby girl is born he’s treating her like the little princess she is the day she’s born

He’s so gentle and soft with her it’s literally so hard not to just coo when you see them together

If she cries his heart breaks a little and he will do everything and anything to make her stop

When she’s a bit older he’d take the extra time to pack her cute little lunches with notes when she had to go to daycare

He doesn’t even flinch when she brings a dress to him and asks for a tea party because he’d be down no questions asked

Will put his whole ass heart into acting during play time for his daughter

And when she’s a little bit older and can have school crushes it’s going to crush Chan

Because daddy’s princess is attracting boys he deems unworthy even though he knows damn well he saw them holding hands

To sum this up Chan will absolutely adore his daughter to the depths of hell and back even if it breaks his heart a little bit each day to see her growing up so fast

♡ Woojin

The day you told him you guys were going to be parents he couldn’t stop smiling

His reaction would be mundane but his actions would show he’s much more excited

Like each night your bump grows he’s always talking to the baby and putting his ear to your belly and kissing it

He’s literally so excited he came home one day with like a bag full of baby clothes and toys and he’d just have the biggest smile ever

Like man really do be planning for this baby’s arrival my dude

He’ll be extra super sweet to you too and make sure your super relaxed and comfortable anytime he can

But at the same time he’s like come on we have to go buy this, this, and this for the baby even when your only like 2 months pregnant

And when the baby arrives he’ll be so happy and cry when he finally gets to hold his son

god Woojin would just adore his little boy like he can’t even begin to express how much he loves his son

He’d buy them matching outfits, take him to the parks and let him help with grocery shopping

And he’d allow his baby boy to adventure and explore because seeing his son be expressive and happy just makes his heart so warm

Oh and the amount of toys this boy will have will be absolutely ridiculous

There is not one dinosaur his son wouldn't have, he’d probably have a whole bin

Woojin would be the type of dad that enjoys watching his son play and joining in every now and then rather than be the high energy chasing around the house type of dad

Though he does have his days where he can run around and be a complete jokester with his son

But most of his time his son is either playing quietly with him or they’re napping together quietly after watching tv or Woojin read him a book

His son would be so well behaved yet so cute🥺

♡ Minho

When you told Minho he was going to be a dad he’d deadass be so proud like damn I really just created life with this beautiful human being

And you better believe he’s proudly telling the boys and family he’s about to be a dad

Though he’d also be really excited and want to spoil his child

He’d buy them all the high quality baby stuff because why the frick not

And when your baby bump is getting bigger he always talking to the baby that way and waiting for when it kicks

And high key scolding his baby when he thinks they kicked too hard 💀

He absolutely adores the fact the he’s going to be a father for this baby though

When the baby’s born Minho can’t stop smiling and he’s just so proud of you and happy he might cry a bit

The first stuff toy he’ll buy for his baby girl is definitely a cat no questions asked

He’d fawn over this baby girl so much because he just thinks she’s so precious

And when she’s still young he’d always have the baby carrier on him because there’s no separating the two

Minho would definitely pull small innocent pranks like the type you see on TROS

But he does it because he just wants to see his baby girl smiling and laughing all the time while creating a strong bond with her

And when she cries his heart breaks a little and he fake cries in hopes it brings up her spirit

He’s just got such a huge soft spot for her that when one she likes one of her “uncles” more he high key gets jealous

And when she gets older protective Minho is out and about

He’s gotta set the rules down of absolutely no dating till 20

And when he sees his baby interacting cutely with another boy he’s highkey upset but his baby is so happy he can’t do anything about it

So he’s just fuming off on the side in jealous dad while glaring at the little boy with his daughter

♡ Changbin

Lord have mercy on Changbin when you tell him he’s going to be a dad

He’s trying so hard not to cry but he can’t help it and is smiling all goofy and wide

God he’d buy all the toys and stuff toys just for his baby girl

He’d even buy her a matching Gyu

And when his baby girl finally is born he can’t even stop crying and smiling because he’s so happy

When it’s his turn to watch baby he’s playing all the little princess games and probably will go as far as acting the princess's horse

Just anything to hear his baby’s laugh

And when she gets a bit older and he has to go back to the group but it’s his turn to watch her you can bet he’s in the studio with her

He just adores the way she dances and tries to sing along with the music

He’s starting this rapper young 💀

And when the whole family is together you better believes he’s planning a family picnic

Deadass will become the dad that creates the hella extra, but cute and thoughtful lunches for his daughter

Ugh Changbin will just love the freak out of his daughter and will highkey get jealous when she favors a member over him even if it’s just for a day or an hour before she’s crying for him

He just adores her so much because wow he really just created life with the person of his dreams

♡ Hyunjin

At first Hyunjin didn’t process all the information fully and he’d be sitting there for a minute smiling before turning his head back to you at neck breaking speed

And Hyunjin can be a bit dramatic… and let’s just say he almost passes out but is crying but is excited and he can’t just pick one

ANYWAYS

Hyunjin would be ecstatic to know he’s going to be a father but also a little nervous

But that wouldn’t tamper his mood for preparing for his little dude’s arrival

He’d probably be the dad to buy his kid designer clothes, and buy matching pairs just for the family

And when his little son finally arrives, he’s so excited he almost forgets that his son was literally just born and he can’t just take him home

But he’s so gentle with his baby boy when he’s still little

Like he’s always rushing when he hears his son’s crying, always cooing when he’s laughing and can probably be found asleep with his son cuddled in his arms after a long day

And when his son’s a bit older they’re literally the perfect pair

When Hyunjin’s walking out of the room, his little boy is holding his hand with his favorite toy in his other hand dragging right behind them

And when Hyunjin’s getting ready his son is copying him the best he can

It’s literally monkey see monkey do with these two and Hyunjin finds it absolutely adorable that his son looks up to him so much

But they’re also the goofiest pair ever and there’s never a dull moment with these two

They’re either running around giggling or going on adventures to fun places

And when his baby boy is a bit older he loves joking around with his dad and saying stuff like “mom is the best!” just to hear Hyunjin jokingly say “you punk” and chase him around

They’re just so close and it’s honestly so adorable

♡ Jisung

Honestly at first he really thought you were joking

Like he’d be smiling and be like haha babe really funny and then he’d see your still smiling and not getting mad he found out your joke

And his face would go from haha got you to OH SHOOT U FOREEAL super happy face

He’d then immediately tackle you into a hug but we won’t talk about that

Jisung would be so excited but won’t have any idea what he’s doing and is probably panically calling his mom every .02 seconds

He’d definitely put in the time to figure out the best for his baby and buy all the cute baby stuffies

And when his baby girl is born he’s literally crying when he finally gets to hold her because to him she’s the prettiest thing in the world

He’d buy her all the prettiest dresses and will even take the time to learn how to do her hair

He’d even buy her the cute bows and hair clips 🥺

And while he’s all into buying his baby all the stuffed toys and clothes he’d also be there to applaud her on the little achievements she has

And will literally record ever moment he has with her because MEmoRiEs

Like you can be at work and get the randomest, most funny or wholesome video ever of the both of them and you’ll never know which type you’re getting that day

And when he establishes she’s a total papa’s girl he will not hesitate to boast about it

But let’s be real about the moment she was born they were inseparable, they’re both adorable crackheads since birth 💀

♡ Felix

He genuinely thought you were pranking him because he had seen those videos of girls who prank their boyfriends with the “baby in me” prank

Like Felix would look at you so done and then be like babe that’s not funny

And when you don’t apologize and just keep giggling it settles in and he’d freak out for a moment

Then he’ll get all excited and hold you tight and be like ��WERE GOING TO BE PARENTS”

And then be like brb I gotta go tell my mom about this

Like he’s so happy he’s telling literally everyone and anything he’s going to have a family with the love of his life

He’d probably become super sentimental too and just start crying because he’s just so happy

Though at the same time he’s super excited for the baby he’s literally pointing out everything baby related and trying to convince you the baby needs it

And before the baby’s even born he’d definitely buy a baby photo album and a new camera to keep all the memories

When his baby girl is born he’s honestly so soft and crying all over again

And when he takes her home he does no hesitate to give her a house tour when she’s up from her nap

Felix would probably come up with a cute nickname for her like buttercup or something like that

And he'd genuinely enjoy playing dolls with her and hosting tea parties

He can’t bear to pull pranks on her though because as soon as he hears her cry he’s already scooping her up and trying to cheer her up

She’s just so precious to him and he thinks she only deserves to spend her childhood laughing in good and loving memories

Though when she is a little bit older he probably would pull small and harmless pranks on her

But for now he’s probably doing her hair while she discusses about her favorite cartoon with a bowl of snack in hand

♡ Seungmin

When you told Seungmin he was going to be a dad all he could do was give you soft eyes and smile because he was so happy and excited he didn’t know what to do

But when you hugged him he’d cry a little bit and ramble on about how he’s so happy to be starting a family with you

And afterwards he’s all excited to start planning asking like what color should the room be and all that good stuff

He’d be the type of dad to pick up a couple cute things he think the baby would enjoy on the way home and just silently place it in the room, which is just so heart warming because you know he’s trying

And when he found out you were going to have twins he’d be really shocked but he wouldn’t love them any less

Like the moment he gets to hold both of them he’s a soft mess who’s all teary eyes while holding both of them

He’d be such a good dad and he makes it look easy while taking are of both of them

Seungmin could be braiding his little girls hair while also playing with his son and no one will ever know how he keeps them so calm

It’s just so cute though seeing him hold both of them while taking them out on adventures and allowing them to help him

He just adores his twins so much honestly and that’s why he finds it difficult to get upset with them

You’ll always either find him asleep with both of them on either side of them or playing around the apartment there’s no in between

He’s also the type of dad that enjoys his kids genuine help when he tries to make something nice for you and if they mess up the surprise all he can do is laugh

But if there’s one thing Seungmin’s very specific on is teaching his twins to clean because he’s not about to have a messy house oh no no no hunty

Though half of the time he does help them and gets them ice cream afterwards because he can never say no to them

♡Jeongin

When you told him he was going to be a dad he’d smile so wide and keep asking if you were for real because he’s just so happy

He might have a little happy breakdown but that’s okay because right afterwards he’d be all excited telling you all the things he can’t wait to buy for your guys baby

Though he’d also be a little timid and alwaying making sure to get your okay with the necessary things the baby would need

Otherwise when it comes to toys he’s buying everything and anything he sees because his baby deserves everything

And when his son is born he can’t help but smile lovingly at his little boy as he’s sleeping in his arms

Jeongin would be pretty gentle and careful during the baby’s first months home partially because he’s nervous but mostly because he doesn’t want to make his son cry

Though when he’s older Jeongin’s all in for running around the house, having cute little dance parties and singing nursery rhymes with his little boy

When he’s not playing around with his son he’s probably taking him out to some picnic adventures or an amusement park

If not he’s probably amusing his son with his trot singing because he just loves the way it brings amusement to his face

Other than that you can find them having a seemingly important conversation while sharing a bowl of fruit

When in reality their discussing about what his son’s favorite toy is while Jeongin tries to make him eat

This story was originally going to be my very first fanfiction, but I lost motivation when I lost my friend. I made a hard switch to the Naruto/Pokemon fandom, and found it difficult to return to FMA.

When I clearing out my drop box, I found this old story again, and… well, here we are.

This story is a slow build up.

This is NOT an EdOC, AlOC, or RoyOC story. I am perfectly happy with their canonical pairings.

Note about canon / AU: This is to clarify the established canon in my story.

In the manga / wiki it’s stated that Pride is able to adjust the age range of his container by around 5ish years. I’m going to go ahead and AU it so that he can freely adjust the age of his container to whatever he wants it to be.

Did you know that Bradley’s first name is King? I did not until I checked the wiki, so führer Bradley is named King Bradley here.

Mrs. Bradley will also get a lovely first name, because she very much deserves it: Katherine.

Lastly, King Bradley genuinely loves his wife.

Smart!OC, so if you don’t like reading about OCs with high levels of book-smart intelligence, this won’t be your cup of tea.

This story will eventually be posted on Fanfiction.net and Wattpad, but for the moment it will remain on tumblr until I write enough of it.

✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧

Death was not the end, nor the beginning. It was a bump in the road, an interlude in the story.

Dying did not mean one ceased to exist, but rather, one’s existence changed.

Memories are not meant to survive the transformation, but there are always exceptions. When taking the first breath in a new body, one can usually remember the last breath in the old body.

But too soon what defined the previous life will fade away, and the new life will be given a (mostly) blank slate.

They’ll likely still retain some knowledge, some experiences, or information too vital to forget. Maybe they’ll remember the face of their lover, or their talent for music. Maybe they’ll be drawn to an old friend, or they’ll retain unexplainable fear over a past lives trauma.

Someone terrified of the ocean might have drowned in their previous life.

A man or women overcome with unshakable insecurities might have been cruelly hurt before.

Regardless, death and birth did not mark the end or beginning for one’s existence.

It simply meant a change in scenery for that soul.

✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧

This is the journey of one such soul being born in a world it was not meant to be a part of.

It, like all the others, knew it had been reborn at first.

But unlike the others, memories of its past lives did not flee right away.

No.

Oddly enough, they stayed for a solid three years. And even when those cherished memories of dear friends and family left the soul, knowledge remained.

Knowledge of math and science.

Of medicine.

And of an undeniable, insatiable thirst for more.

More knowledge.

More adventures.

More everything.

✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧

Elizabeth Luxanna was born to the estranged daughter of a retired general. The daughter, Hannah Luxanna, had eloped with a simple farmer after a bitter argument between her father—Crow Luxanna—and mother—Isabella Luxanna.

Hannah enjoyed over a decade of blissful marriage before her husband tragically died from an unknown illness. To make matters worse, Hannah was pregnant, and they had lost their home in a terrible fire.

With nowhere else to go, Hannah returned home to find her mother already dead, and her father consumed with bitterness and regret.

Crow accepted his daughter back with great reluctance, and the time leading up to Elizabeth’s birth was filled with despair and grief for Hannah.

The young woman’s heart gave out after birth, and she left her only daughter orphaned.

Crow Luxanna adopted his granddaughter, but he did so with a thoroughly broken and blackened heart.

He did not know how to handle her.

He did not want to handle her.

So he hired plenty of servants to take care of her for the first year of her life, and dismissed them shortly afterward.

Next came tutors.

So soon? Some might ask.

But Crow Luxanna did not want to raise a granddaughter. No, he wanted to force her to grow up as soon as possible and send her out.

Ideally into the military.

And when Elizabeth Luxanna began to show exemplary intelligence, and whispers of a prodigy started to arise, Crow Luxanna finally took an interest in his granddaughter.

And what a shame, that was.

✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧

Grandfather Crow was a short, well-dressed man. He was a proud retired general, and had high expectations for all those around him. Rules were meant to be strictly adhered to, and when boundaries were pushed too much he enforced harsh punishments.

He wasn’t one for social visits. Not even for his last living family.

Elizabeth was quiet, well-behaved, and completely devoted to her studies. It became blatantly apparent early on that she had difficulty connecting to her peers, and after enough incidents her grandfather forbade other children from entering their home.

She rarely saw anyone aside from her tutors.

Especially Grandfather.

Which was why when Grandfather told her to eat dinner with him, she was surprised.

Thankfully, he cut straight to the chase and explained why he was there.

“The exam you did yesterday, do you remember it?” Grandfather inquired stiffly, his well-groomed mustache quivering as he tried out a smile. It looked terribly awkward on him.

The young girl nodded at his question. After months of completely devouring her lessons, and answering all of her tutors’ questions they had come together and devised an extensive exam for the heiress. It took Elizabeth six hours to complete, and the trio (one for science & math, one for history & English, and one for etiquette) watched her intensely the entire time.

Grandfather tapped his fingers on the table, his dark eyes staring straight through her. “Mm. Yes, well, you’ve exceeded expectations. Your intelligence is remarkable for someone your age, a true prodigy.” Again Grandfather tapped his fingers, and his gaze didn’t seem to notice her anymore. “The military will want your mind, do you understand?”

Elizabeth mutely shook her head.

“They will want you,” Grandfather repeated. “I am a loyal soldier, so I will not refuse them.”

Her brow furrowed as she tried to follow the conversation. “I’m going to be enlisted?”

Grandfather blinked once, now focusing on Elizabeth. “Yes, and no. You are too young, but… But they will claim you one way or another. I want to make sure you survive, and do our family proud.”

“Why would they claim me?”

“You are a talented child, and I am a loyal soldier,” Grandfather repeated. “Retired or not, I would sacrifice everything for my country, for my führer.”

Including you, went unsaid.

“Your mind… yes. It will be good for the military. For Central. You will serve our führer well,” Grandfather Crow said.

There was no permission to be sought out.

There was no debating, or discussion.

Elizabeth knew in her heart that there was no fighting this.

She was a single little girl, who just so happened to be a little good at math and science.

She had no power to refuse.

No confidence to say no.

Even a hint of disobedience would land Elizabeth locked away in her room, with no lights, or food for however long her grandfather wanted.

She had nowhere to go, and no one to turn to.

So Elizabeth swallowed back her nerves and tried out a wobbly (fake) smile. “Yes, Grandfather.”

The retired general smiled. It was disturbing to see. “A mind like yours… They need State Alchemists. Yes, you will do well there. I will hire a new tutor for you.”

“Yes, Grandfather.”

And that was that.

✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧

“I am Lisa Delve,” introduced a middle-aged woman. Her graying hair was swept up in a tight bun, and she dressed very modestly. Her dark blue eyes narrowed when she looked at Elizabeth, and a sneer curled back on her lips. “You are my student?”

“I am,” Elizabeth answered quietly, her green eyes lowering when she saw the plain scorn in the women’s eyes.

She knew then that Mrs. Delve would not be any companion to Elizabeth.

“A big game was talked up about you. Do not disappoint,” Mrs. Delve said, her voice clipped. She turned her back to young curly-haired brunette, and began to draw on the blackboard.

All tutoring was done in the small library, where not a window could be seen. It was dark, dreary, and stuffy.

Elizabeth wished she was anywhere but there.

“This,” Mrs. Delve said as she finished her drawing, “is a basic transmutation circle. Memorize it. I am told you already know your periodic table?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Recite it.”

Elizabeth did as ordered, and the alchemist scoffed. “Speak up, girl. You are the heiress of the prestigious Luxanna family, and the granddaughter of one of our greatest generals. Have you not taken any etiquette classes?”

“I have, ma’am,” Elizabeth said, sitting up straighter in her uncomfortable wooden seat. “Sorry, ma’am.”

“It’s not me you be apologizing to, but your family,” Mrs. Delve snapped. “Have you done any reading into alchemy before this session?”

“Only that human transmutation is illegal, and dangerous,” Elizabeth softly responded. She only knew that because it was mentioned offhandedly in a biology textbook.

But that was fine.

Elizabeth had no interest in human transmutation.

No, what drew her focus was botany and how alchemy could be applied there.

She couldn’t find any concrete information on alchemists who worked with plants. She knew it had to be a difficult science since alchemy applied to any living organism was tricky, but she didn’t think it would be that hard.

Plants didn’t have nervous systems, after all.

And if she could find a way to create hybrid plants, she might be able to invent new species of plants that were more effective than modern medicine.

At least, that was her initial hope.

“Rudimentary. Very well, let us begin. Do keep up, as I will not be repeating myself.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧♡✧✧

Elizabeth Luxanna was largely left alone.

At first, when she was mentally a grown adult who enjoyed her solitude just fine, she had no complaints.

She was an unusually obedient and quiet child, and as long as she was given enough books to read, she didn’t complain.

If she did complain, she’d be immediately locked in her bedroom and forced into isolation for however many days her Grandfather saw fit. Food would be shoved through the slot in the door, and not a single peep was allowed to be heard.

Since Elizabeth was an adult (a very, very old one at that), she was able to comply with these rules without much fuss.

But when her adult memories slipped away from her one night, and she was suddenly left a child without any companionship, being alone started to bother her.

Grandfather Crow was a stern man, and had no patience to raise a granddaughter. All the servants that worked for the Luxanna family were veterans who had to retire premature, and were uncomfortable dealing with Elizabeth.

While she no longer had all the memories that made Elizabeth an old adult, she retained her knowledge of math, science, and other similar topics. She couldn’t explain how she knew what she knew, either, which gave others the wrong impression about her.

At first glances Elizabeth was a child with a seemingly high intellect.

From the Grandfather’s Crow point of view this was to be taken advantage of for the betterment of his country, of his führer. It was an asset to be used to its maximum potential.

But from Elizabeth’s point of view it simply made it that much harder to connect with others.

Children her age didn’t even understand what an electron was, let alone wanted to talk about it.

Adults either didn’t take her seriously, or only saw her as someone to be used.

There was no way for Elizabeth to form any kind of positive bond, let alone a friendship.

For five years she was confined to a bitter home without a single person to care for her.

This made for a terribly lonely little girl.

So painfully lonely she would wish for any kind of friendship.

For anyone to show her even an iota of warmth.

And then came the day that person showed up.

Her only friend.

Selim Bradley.

The Top 15 Totally Improvised and Instantly Iconic Movie Moments of All Time, Ranked

While many of these iconic scenes from classic movies are from completely separate genres and were made in totally different decades, their most famous scenes and quoted lines happen to have one common denominator…

Their most memorable moments are nowhere to be found in their original scripts.

Perhaps, the most moving movie moments are not written, planned, or practiced; perhaps their magic is made through that certain spontaneity and authenticity only possible in the present moment.

These 15 iconic movie scenes didn’t find their magic in their scripts.

Just like in real life, they may have started with a plan, but tripped over it, and ended up stumbling straight into greatness…

1) Taxi Driver: “You talkin’ to me?”

Perhaps the most quoted movie line of all time is from Robert De Niro’s famous mirror monologue in Taxi Driver, in which he repeatedly asks his own reflection, “You takin’ to me? Yet, according to Director Martin Scorcese, the scene originally didn’t even contain dialogue.

Almost through with shooting, behind schedule, and determined to wrap things up, Scorcese asked DeNiro to just improvise the scene and maybe try saying something to himself.

For the film’s 40th anniversary, the cast reunited in what can only be described as an oddly tepid interview with Today’s Matt Lauer (worth watching for the awkward moments alone) and shared the story behind it’s most famous moment.

youtube

During the interview, Scorcese recollects, “He kept saying, ‘You talkin’ to me?’ He just kept repeating it, kept repeating it … and [they were] banging on the door saying, ‘Come on, we got to get out of here.’ “And I said, ‘No, this is good, this is good. Give me another minute.”

Turns out he was right; it was good. It was really good, which explains why this completely unscripted line is quite possibly the most recognizable movie line in the history of film.

P.S. Jodie Foster is having NONE of Matt Lauer’s clickbait questioning in this interview, and while it was shot a little over a year before Lauer’s “retirement,” she seems to instinctively recognize the antagonizing and chauvinistic undertones looming just beneath the paper-thin brim of the abnoxiously wholesome hat Lauer wears to work every day (ahem, excuse me, wore to work).

But I digress. Moving on.

2) The Fugitive: “I don’t care.”

If you were born any time before or during the 1980’s, there is a 97.3% probability that you’ve reenacted thisfamous scene from The Fugitive at least once, with a 99.68% likelihood that you’re delivery was atrocious.

You know the scene- the one where Dr. Richard Kimble, played by Harrison Ford, tells Tommy Lee Jones’ character, US Marshall Samuel Gerard, “I didn’t kill my wife,” to which Gerard responds with the crazy harsh yet classic comeback, “I don’t care.” Despite being both highly quotable and theme-defining, this line was never in the script.

According to Producer, Roy Huggins, the line originally read, “That’s not my problem.” But Tommy Lee did have a problem with it… or at least he wasn’t crazy about it. So he changed it to what instantly became the film’s famous three-word catchphrase.

Tommy Lee’s revision was such an immediately-obvious success, the film’s closing scene was altered to reference Lee’s unscripted line.

youtube

As Lee’s character removes the handcuffs from the vindicated Doctor and offers him an icepack, Kimble says, “I thought you didn’t care,” to which US Marshall Gerard replies, “I don’t.” The two share a somber chuckle before Gerard promptly confesses to carrying an affection for both the truth and for the innocent Doctor, when he closes the film with the final line, “Don’t tell anybody, okay?”

Jones’ performance was so impressive, he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film. But, considering Jones coined the film’s most climactic line AND, by doing so, ultimately defined the film’s closing moment, we’re wondering why Tommy Lee Jones wasn’t even nominated for best screenplay adaption.

Oh well, he doesn’t care, why should we? Thanks to Tommy Lee, people have been not caring about shit since 1993.

3) The Shining: “Here’s Johnny.”

The terrifying scene in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, in which Jack Nicholson’s character peeks through the doorway and exclaims, “Here’s Johnny,” is considered the scariest movie scene EVER.

youtube

Well, turns out, the scariest line in all of film’s history wasn’t even in the script. Jack Nicholson unexpectedly ad-libbed the line, which was an impromptu psychopathic imitation of the famous introduction of Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show.

4) Jaws: “You’re going to need a bigger boat.”

In 2016, Jaws’ writer and actor, Carl Gottlieb, who played the small role of Amity’s newspaper reporter, shared some intriguing insights into the film’s history with the Hollywood Reporter.

According to Gotlieb, the film’s classic line (the exact language of which happens to be a matter of great debate) was not a one-liner you’ll find anywhere in the script. And while the nation remains divided on whether the classic line is actually “You’re going to need a bigger boat” or “We’re going to need a bigger boat,” Gottlieb subscribes to the ladder and he was there, so we’ll go with “you’re” (even though IMO it’s totally “we’re).

Regardless, the famous phrase was an ongoing on-set joke made by cast and crew members that swiped a jab at the film’s “stingy” producers! The boat on which all the film’s lighting, camera, and craft service equipment were stored required the support of another boat that was too small to carry its weight, and thus quickly became an object of ridicule among crew and cast members…

youtube

Gottlieb explains, “[They] were very stingy producers, so everyone kept telling them, ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat.’ It became a catchphrase for anytime anything went wrong … if lunch was late or the swells were rocking the camera, someone would say, ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat.’”

Apparently, Roy Scheider, who played Sheriff Brody, dropped the line regularly while shooting the film, most times in jest. But it wasn’t until Sheriff Brody faced his great white rival for the first time, that the ad-lib took on a life of its own and was instantly transformed from inside joke to iconic phrase.

To this day, when faced with an overwhelming and arduous task, people still count on this funny phrase for a little comic relief.

5) Pretty Woman: “Jewelry box moment.”

In one of Pretty Woman’s most beloved scenes, Richard Gere unexpectedly snaps the jewelry box he’s presenting to Julia Robert’s character closed, as she stares at the box’s quarter million dollar contents in awe.

Robert’s reacted with a seriously startled laugh that’s so authentic and imperfectly endearing, she was basically crowned America’s official sweetheart right there on the spot.

youtube

While the scene seemingly pays tribute to Robert’s stellar acting skills, the film’s director, Garry Marshall, recently revealed that Julia’s surprise reaction is actually authentic.

Marshall had put Gere up to the prank, and explains, “I said, ‘Richard, you gotta wake her up a little, so when she reaches for the box, slam it.”

While it’s hard to imagine this movie scene sans mischievous moment, Marshall reveals furthermore that it wasn’t until the very last editing session that they decided to include this classic outtake in the film’s final cut.

6) The Silence of the Lambs: The Hiss

The famously frightening scene in Silence of the Lambs in which Dr. Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins, fondly reminisces over a human liver he once ate “with some fava beans and a nice Chianti,” ends with Lector hissing at FBI Agent Clarice Starling, played by Jodie Foster,

youtube

The now infamous hiss was actually just something Hopkins did as a joke during rehearsal but the sound effect was so startling, Director Jonathan Demme decided to use it in the film.

The freaky outtake became a trademark sound effect for Hannibal Lector, a role that would ultimately earn Hopkins an Academy Award, not to mention, a permanent place in Hollywoods’ villain hall of fame.

7) When Harry Met Sally: “I’ll have what she’s having.”

The famous deli scene in When Harry Met Sally, in which Meg Ryan’s character, Sally, proves her point by way of an orgasmic public performance is yet another famous scene containing an iconic line that was not originally written in the film’s script, but rather, spontaneously sprung from the genius minds at work.

The line “I’ll have what she’s having,” recited by an elderly deli patron in response to Ryan’s shockingly sexy scene, was a last minute suggestion made by Billy Krystal.

youtube

Not only was the line unscripted; the whole orgasm act wasn’t incorporated into the scene until a last-minute rehearsal, when Meg Ryan suggested that the scripted deli conversation (which was about sex but didn’t call for a full-blown tutorial) could benefit from an added element of performance art.

Little did Ryan know her suggestion would ultimately lead to her most memorable movie moment, nor did the woman she impressed at the deli, who was played by Producer Rob Reiner’s mom, know her one line would end up being the line of a lifetime.

8) When Harry Met Sally: “But I would be happy to partake of your pecan pie.”

youtube

Yet another uniquely memorable improvisation by Billy Krystal in When Harry Met Sally is the iconic line, “But I would be happy to partake of your pecan pie.” The unscripted line was so unexpectedly funny that it caught Meg Ryan completely off-guard, causing her to bust up laughing mid-scene.

But the film’s director, Rob Reiner, immediately recognized the magic in this unscripted movie moment, so he signaled Ryan to keep rolling!

In the clip, after she authentically laughs at Billy Krystal’s improvised pecan pie comment, you can actually see the moment Ryan assumes the scene’s a bust as she look over toward Director Rob Reiner, with the expectation he’s about to call cut. Ryan catches on to Reiner’s direction and visibly re-enters character.

9) Good Fellas: “Funny how?”

Almost everyone knows the famous scene in Martin Scorcese’s Good Fellas, when Tony DeVito, played by Joe Pesci, takes offense to fellow-good-fella, Henry Miller, played by Ray Liotta, telling him that he’s “funny.” While the story elicited laughter from the entire gang, DeVito’s doesn’t take Miller’s comment that he’s “funny” as a compliment, leading DeVito to ask, “Funny how? I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to fuckin’ amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?”

The line was instantly born from one of the most iconic scenes in one of the most iconic films of all time. What not everyone knows is that the famous scene was never in the script, but rather, it was a real-life story Pesci shared at rehearsal about a close encounter he once had waiting tables in Queens when a mob-boss patron didn’t appreciate the young Pesci calling him “funny.”

Scorcese recognizes entertainment value when he hears it, and that’s why he immediately insisted on incorporating Pesci’s story into a scene in the film.

But, considering we’re talking about Scorcese here, the drama behind this classic movie moment doesn’t end here…

youtube

The renowned director is known not only for imparting actors with an unprecedented decibel of creative voice, but also known for utilizing an element of surprise to his film’s advantage.

A dramatic scene in which the majority of actors are not privy the storyline (since it wasn’t in the script) is a golden opportunity for Scorcese. So he made sure to take advantage of the rare opportunity, and boy did he end up striking it rich.

Scorcese had informed only Pesci and Liotta of the this uniquely improvised lounge scene’s particular premise and also decided to shoot the entire exchange exclusively from a wide angle, in order to maximally capture the aloof actor’s expressions as they witnessed the scene suddenly shift in both tone and direction.

The payoff was movie magic, an all-time classic gangster scene, and one seriously iconic improvised line. And while we’ve certainly paid Martin Scorcese his due credit, we must also recognize Joe Pesci for this seriously compelling improvisation and how he manages to make his character’s absurd and unrelatable mobster mentality feel like an almost rational and justified perspective.

Like, seriously, what the hell did Liotta expect, running his mouth like a total wise guy?

10) Star Wars: “I know.”

While shooting the original Star Wars, Harrison Ford was so in touch with his character, Han Solo, that he took issue with a certain scene in the script for not authentically aligning with the hunky hero’s endearingly egomaniacal personality.

In the original script, when Princess Leia tells Hans Solo that she loves him, he replies, “I love you, too.” But Ford was less than impressed with this cheese-ball exchange and saw a “lost opportunity” in the scene. So he suggested that Han Solo reply, “I know” instead, when Princess Leia confesses that she loves him.

youtube

According to Harrison, George Lucas was initially less than thrilled with the actual improvised line, nor was he too happy with Harrison for deviating from script…

According to Ford, Lucas went “ape shit.” Needless to say, audiences loved the not-so-loving line.

11) A Clockwork Orange: “Singing in the Rain”

youtube

While Director Stanley Kubrick was not exactly enamored with the book “A Clockwork Orange,” the first time he read it, he eventually became quite fond of it and ultimately stayed true to the book’s overall narrative while writing his screenplay adaption of A Clockwork Orange.

According to Mental Floss“The director and actors hewed so closely to the book that sometimees they wouldn’t even use the formal screenplay on set. Instead, they simply carried the novel as a reference for dialogue in the scenes.”

Considering how Kubrick and the cast practiced such loyal adherence to the book version of A Clockwork Orange while filming the movie, it is that much more interesting to learn that one of the film’s most iconic (and seriously disturbing) scenes was nowhere to be found in the novel.

youtube

The film’s seriously psychopathic performace by protagonist antihero Alex DeLarge, played by Malcolm McDowell, in which he joyfully dances and sings “Singing in the Rain,” as he and his pals commit one the most egregious and deranged movie murders to ever be filmed, wasn’t written in the screenplay either… This is because the famously creepy murder scene’s musical entertainment was completely improvised by McDowell.

Kubrick had previously shot the scene (sans the singing) several times and was just not happy with it. Something was missing. So Kubrick told McDowell to experiment with the scene by engaging in some type of shocking behavior. And while most actors probably would have probably turned up the horror or got more graphic in an attempt to add shock value, but not Malcolm McDowell.

Nope, he drove right past violenceville and ragetown and ended up exiting at euphoria- a motivation that is not generally accosiated with the sociopathic mind- but it should be.

youtube

McDowell shares the mindset behind his particular song choice in this murderous musical scene, Entertainment Weekly, explaining that the song “Singing in the Rain” is “Hollywood’s gift to the world of euphoria. And that’s what the character is feeling at the time.”

In other words, it’s a happy song and murdering people makes his sociopathic character happy. So he sang a happy ditty. Cause he was happy. Makes a little too much sense, Malcolm.

After all, sociopaths are ultimately looking for the same sense of contentedness that *we are (*The vast majority of those reading this -except you- you’re definitely one of the 55,000 sociopaths out of 22 Words

Whoah, that’s a lot of sociopaths I’m potentially speaking to at the moment. But, if I may say, you certainly have superb taste in literature (wink) (love ya, mean it) (we’re still cool, right?).

12) Good Will Hunting: “The little idiosyncrasies.”

youtube

While the script called for Robin William’s character, Sean Maguire, to share a story about his late wife’s imperfections as a means of illustrating the value of people’s “little idiosyncrasies,” it didn’t originally include the story we ended up watching and requiring a tissue or ten to get through.

youtube

The script’s suggested “idiosyncrasy” story highlighted Maguire’s late wife’s tendency to sit up and turn off the alarm clock in the middle of the night while still asleep.

But Robin must have recognized that story in the script was lacking the very same raw, authentic, vulnerable, messy, risky “good stuff” that it purported to promote; things that Robin Williams happened to know a thing or two about.

So he improvised, sharing a story about how his character’s late wife “used to fart when she was nervous,” instead. The result is an amazing movie moment that is painfully breathtaking, breathtakingly painful, and overflowing with life’s “good stuff.”

youtube

In fact, Robin’s improvised story was so jam-packed with “good stuff, let’s just say that Damon didn’t sprain a muscle from the scene’s heavy acting, but he very well could have pulled something during the totally legit giggle fit Robin’s improv elicited; a laugh so legit he accidentally exits the camera’s view briefly and causing the camera to shake uncontrollably before he eventually gets it together and responds with an equally stunning performance.

Ugh, so much “good stuff” here. Maybe a little too much. Time for a quick (crying in the) bathroom break. Brb.

13) Zoolander: “But why male models?”

But why male models?

The hilarious scene in “Zoolander” in which Ben Stiller’s character, Derek Zoolander, repeats the question, “But why male models?” immediately after receiving an in-depth and lengthy answer from his co-star David Duchovny’s character, just mere seconds before, is so funny that the line is practically considered a pop culture slogan.

However, the ingenious line, which so perfectly encapsulates the essence of Derek Zoolander, was not actually in the script. In fact, it wasn’t even a genius impromptu improvisation by Ben Stiller.

Stiller simply forgot his line. And, presumably, in an attempt to avoid the Haza-Gaza of cutting camera and retaking the shot, Ben repeated his previous line as a signal to Duchovny to restart the scene.

youtube

Coincidentally, repeating this particular line at this particular moment happened to capture his character’s idiocy with utter perfection.

Not to mention, Stiller’s flub set his co-star up with yet another hilarious and unscripted line. Duchovny responds with “Are you serious? I just told you that like a moment ago,” which is the exact response any reasonable person would give when faced with stupidity the likes of Derek Zoolander.

The scene is now considered by many to be one of the film’s most amusing moments.

14) The 40 Year Old Virgin: “Kelly Clarkson!”

Before The 40 Year Old Virgin was deemed one of the greatest comedies of all time, “Kelly Clarkson” was just a pop star born from the original American Idol machine.

Yet after Steve Carell insisted on authentically capturing the film’s chest waxing scene by filming it in a single painfully real shot which required 5 cameras to ensure it’s success, “Kelly Clarkson” is now one of our generations most beloved curse words.

youtube

This behind-scenes-video shows Carrel moments before shooting the scene, telling crewmembers that he expected the waxing to be “a piece of cake,” yet afterward, Steve was saluting women everywhere for the pain they endure in the name of beauty.

Many of the creative choice words Carrel belted out during the live scene are now iconic expressions utilized by the masses.

15) Bridesmaids: “Air Marshall Style”

youtube

There are a few reasons this hilarious scene from is such a memorable moment in the cult classic comedy. First of all, Melissa Mcarthy is in it. But there’s another explanation for the hilarity of this particular airplane scene: chemistry.

It just so happens that the actor who played Air Marshall Jon, who Mccarthy’s character suspects is undercover Air Marshall is her real-life husband, Ben Falcone.

Apparently, Judd Apatow, the film’s director, decided to scrap a lengthy and long-planned Vegas storyline last minute, when he felt that the whole Vegas bit had been overdone since he had originally written the scene years before.The result was a spontaneous scene between the married pair, in which they were given free reign to improvise. While, clearly, the couple had no trouble creating comedic gold, they did struggle to hold back laughter through their unscripted lines.

Ben tells GQ, “She had such good ones that I ruined. Like she said, ‘Do you like this leg? I got another one just like it. I can put them both over my head and comb my goddamn hair.’”

Considering how entertaining this duo is on screen, we can only imagine the hilarity happening at home.

The laptop games helping youngsters loosen up

The laptop games helping youngsters loosen up

At the unassuming second-ground office of a tech startup in Clerkenwell, London, Simon Fox is coaching me a way to breathe. “You’re no longer trying to shove your belly out with muscular force,” advises the design director of BfB Labs. “Alternatively, what you’re trying to do is experience your lungs expanding into your frame. You don’t want to respire difficulty, but you do want to be breathing into the bottom of your lungs.”

Clipped to my earlobe is a small coronary heart fee display, connected to a Bluetooth tool that is attached to my T-shirt. I’m here to attempt out what Fox and his colleagues have dubbed emotionally responsive gaming (ERG): PC video games designed to increase players’ resilience to mental fitness troubles through the usage of biofeedback to reveal and praise their potential to remain calm below strain. Among rounds in Champions of the Shanghai, the employer’s first providing, gamers have to spend about a minute working towards the form of diaphragmatic respiratory this is extensively endorsed as a relaxation technique; the more efficaciously they control their respiration, the greater gemstones they win to spend on weapons and spells to defeat their combatants. In truth, it’s now not the respiration itself this is tracked, however the participant’s heart rate variability (HRV), which increases in reaction to diaphragmatic respiratory and lower degrees of stress. A better variation indicates a frame with a wholesome ability to relax and respond to activities.

That sounds quite easy, I think, especially as I’m not surely stricken how I fare within the fable-themed struggling with the game (“Like Top Trumps however with way extra thrilling stuff occurring,” is Fox’s rationalization to a non-gamer). On my first attempt, I get four gemstones out of a probable 10; not awful for a first attempt, says Fox, who cites his very own reports of continual anxiety as a using pressure in his paintings. I’m determined to do higher next time. Champions of the Shanghai started existence more than years ago, while Shift, a charity that works on behavior exchange and social troubles, changed into seeking out a way to reinforce youngster joey human beings’ health in reaction to growing evidence of mental fitness problems amongst college-age youngsters. It came across a laptop recreation as a way of making the prospect of being skilled in “emotional regulation” an attractive one and was provided £200,000 funding via Google’s Impact Assignment scheme. A shift later incubated BfB Labs, which took At the improvement of the game. Maintaining it actually exciting and credible as a match in its personal proper has consistently been critical; ERG is being marketed to gamers no longer so much on the idea of its fitness advantages but as an exciting new Mission.

“1/2 of all instances of mental fitness ailment start using the age of 14, and three-quarters through 24,” says Naomi Stoll, the assignment’s lead researcher. “Meditation, mindfulness, and yoga aren’t the types of things that teenage children, specifical teenagers from deprived backgrounds, are going to assume apply to them and instruction. Even 20 minutes of breathing every day is just now not a laugh in any way.”

In a randomized control trial at the Billericay faculty in Essex earlier this year, extra than 4-fifths of the 90 students who performed the game should reliably double their HRV thru centered respiratory. Three-quarters said getting higher at staying calm within the match, and one / four stated that they had started the usage of the strategies in healthy existence. The college had already seen an excellent take-up of mindfulness periods, says deputy head Charlotte Berry, but it has specifically been women, whereas Champions of the Shanghai, which is performed on a telephone or tablet, has been embraced through both boys and girls.

“They in no time started out talking approximately how they were the usage of the inhaling different aspects in their lives,” she says – which include before vital football fits, on occasions when they feared they would lose their tempers, and to cope with stress. Twelve-yr-old Ryan Gibson used diaphragmatic respiration earlier than his stop-of-12 month’s assessments and said it has also been on hand at home: “I’ve were given a laptop youngsters sister who usually annoys me. I use it to stop games myself from reacting and announcing something that could get me in the problem.”

Even though there are a handful of other developers generating PC video games that feed players’ feelings again into play, it’s a device in its infancy. However gaming seems to have a much broader function in selling correct mental health, says Dr. Paul Cairns, a reader in human laptop interaction at the University of York. “We sense better while we have a feeling of competence and autonomy,” he says. And video games, not like actual existence, gift well-defined issues which are designed for humans to be triumphant at: “They offer us the rewards we want.” Crucially, also they provide a breakout from isolation, particularly when you may play in opposition to humans around the arena online.

BfB Labs is planning destiny baby games to attraction to specific audiences: Fox describes one as a “noir-y detective thing” in which you need to hold your cool via a series of interrogations. Champions of the Shanghai has naturally long gone on sale At the crowdfunding webpage Indiegogo, in which a beta version, along with the biofeedback sensor, fees approximately £27, and there also are alternatives to donating the package to faculties.

Lower back in Clerkenwell, Fox instructs me to region my arms on my chest and belly to peer which bits are transferring as I breathe. I may not be engaged with the sport itself. However, it seems my evidently competitive nature is doing a first-rate process of ramping up the pressure: I over sniff. Most useful on my 7th attempt do I sooner or later control a 5.

The subsequent week, with multiple cut-off dates looming, I locate myself absent-mindedly shifting my hand to my belly and adjusting my respiratory. Something, it appears, has stuck.

Inside the heady days of youngsters, as soon as your homework was completed and you’d accomplished your chores, it felt as though you may sit down and play video games without a care in the world. The older you’re, of a route, the also away from this halcyon innocence you get. First analyzing for checks, then paintings and finally the circle of relatives conspire to turn snatched moments joyously wasted in a sport into a sordid, slightly responsible satisfaction. It’s a sense of disgrace that receives worse the longer you spend, which makes huge, savagely addictive video games which include Night (PS4) this type of wealthy supply of capability remorse.

Taking its cues from Dark Souls and Bloodborne, Noah is a sport of combating and exploring wherein your ninja inches his way via labyrinthine networks of corridors, staircases, and chambers populated with the aid of more and more violent men and beasts. Each warfare rewards you with dropped pieces of gadget which you put on to improve your probabilities of survival, which is critical in a recreation where even lowly enemies can kill you if you’re not cautious. The uncompromising issue degree is ratcheted up similarly in the course of encounters with bosses, who almost without exception appear impossible the primary time you meet them, frequently dispatching you in more than one strokes, forcing you to combat your manner again to them over and over again – until you ultimately manipulate to finish them off. The painstaking masochism needed to development makes hard-gained fulfillment all the sweeter. And, like the video games that inspired it, as soon as it’s were given its hooks into you, the real trouble is trying to place down the controller at an affordable hour, so you don’t resemble one among its hole-eyed wraiths within the morning.

Sniper Elite Four (PS4, Xbox One, Pc) gives an unusual kind of guilty delight. Again, you’re an agent of dying, but this time instead of swinging magic axes at monsters, you’re aiming precision rifles at human heads, something maximum folks might in no way dream of doing in real existence. To assist assuage any latent pangs of moral sense, video games have Three passes to the training of enemy that they think no person should feel awful approximately killing: robots, zombies, and Nazis in the 2d world war. Sniper Elite 4 goes for the final group, its gruesomely bloodthirsty kill-cam following the trajectory of your bullets and zooming in for close-up x-ray shots of exploding brain stems and rupturing inner organs. Matters aren’t quite as straightforward as they appear, although, due to the fact after you’ve killed each person and cross approximately merrily looting their corpses, you start locating their letters home, regularly indeed written and direct however also now and again desperate and poignant. It’s a thrilling counterpoint to the bombast and horror-porn in a game that’s highly unique but doesn’t always want you to feel satisfied with that.

I’m bored Some of London’s most famous sights also are its most luxurious – looking at you Madame Tussauds (from £107 for an own family of 4), London Zoo (£84.60), London Sealife Aquarium (£136). At the plus side, most important museums are free – although a donation of around £five consistent with man or woman is usually recommended – and provide committed trails, activities and every so often apps for children. The Natural History Museum, Technological know-how Museum, British Museum, Museum of London, Imperial Warfare Museum are all worth a visit. The Horniman – with its eclectic Herbal Records and musical device collections and a mini aquarium with poisonous frogs (£nine for an own family of four) – is a company favorite with South London families. My six yr vintage loves drawing and art however brushed off both Tates as “dull.” At his age, it’s all approximately interactive famous, and the Science Museum’s new gallery Wonderland promises on that front with all the buttons, pulleys and experiments a small infant should wish for – plus live shows with explosions. It’s now not loose but costs less than many other London attractions (£20.20 for an own family of four).

Beyond the museums, a sure-fire place hit for us is the Southbank Centre, which hosts devoted kids’ sports and events at some point of the year, ramping up the imparting for the duration of school vacations: arising is the Consider children’s pageant (nine-19 February – make sure you e-book in advance). The Southbank has its cafe and a gaggle of chain eating places, consisting of Wagamama, Giraffe, and Yo!Sushi, but we skip the ones in favor of the food market behind the Royal competition Corridor, which has dozens of road food stalls. Fuelled using a hotdog (right sausages) and an ice-cream, in summer we then head to the Appearing Rooms fountains (carry spare garments) overlooking the river. If we challenge Similarly, there’s a terrific hour or so really worth of distractions such as skateboarders, sand artists At the tiny tidal seashore out of doors Gabriels’ Wharf and road entertainers – the bubble guy outdoor Tate Cutting-edge continually has a crowd of youngsters in thrall to him. On a similar notice, there are almost invariably good avenue entertainers in Covent Lawn too.
