idk why this one came to me but thoughts on pacific rim? (also: thoughts on sodas?)
pacrim genuinely one of my absolute comfort movies, one of those movies i can rewatch whenever and not really get bored, 10/10 hong kong skyline representation, it’s about the music, i will always remember watching it for the first time on a laptop at a sleepover with my best friend when i was like 13. bonds yaknow
thoughts on sodas is that i would love to not be addicted to diet coke anymore please.
I feel like I've been cursed because I know that pik doesn't care about acy and that's the nature of their relationship and that whole dynamic is very funny but there's still some primal part of my being that sees them together and just goes "hhhghghhgh cUTE"
GOOD.... *rubs my hands together so hard smoke billows between my hands*
critical role is suuuuper long, but they just finished they're first campaign and they're gonna be starting a new campaign (with new characters) in the new year! so if think you do wanna jump in, that'd be a good time to do it cause you wouldn't have to catch up on anything :0
o shit actually im totally down for that, thank u for telling me!
Pike shifted against her pillow and bundled herself deeper into her sheets before she noticed that, well, she could actually bundle herself in sheets at all. Blearily opening her eyes, her hand felt around next to her and she frowned at the lack of warmth. She plopped back down onto her pillow and closed her eyes again, debating on whether or not she cared enough to get up but eventually curiosity got the better of her. Tossing the sheets to the side, she rolled over on her back to wipe her eyes and slowly put one leg over the edge of the bed and the other.
“Scanlan?” She called out, half of the name muffled in her yawn and her hands as she continued to wipe the sleep out of her eyes. When she didn’t a reply, she looked up and around with a confused stare.
Scanlan didn’t work mornings, especially not on Saturday, and waking up before ten he called “another layer of hell.” Slipping her feet into the angel wing slippers Vax bought her last Christmas, she grabbed her robe hanging from the bed post and draped it around her naked body, tying it loosely around her waist.
She opened the bedroom door and shuffled into the brightly lit hallway, stretching her arms out at her sides. “Scanlan?” She tried again, frowning deeper when she only got silence. Peeking around the corner to the kitchen, her eyes went wide. On the counter there was a small lap tray with a plate of eggs, bacon, and strawberry pancakes and a glass of orange juice. There was also a mini vase with a rose placed in it in the corner. A small smile lifted at the corner of her mouth but she bit down her excitement and tried to get her face neutral again. Her ears perked up at the sound of a quiet violin from the open patio door and she tiptoed as quietly as she could to look through.
Back turned towards her, Scanlan plucked a few strings at his violin in the backyard, tongue sticking out the side of his mouth in concentration as he obviously played as silently as possible. He was still in pajamas, and his hair wasn’t even combed yet, and Pike wondered just how long he’d been up preparing everything in the kitchen.
Out the corner of her eye, Pike could see Kaylie staring right at her from where she stood across from him, fully dressed. Pike jumped, putting a finger to her lips. Kaylie blinked for a second and then gave her a quick wink, lifting her own violin and turning her gaze back on Scanlan.
“If you want to wake her up before nightfall, I suggest you trust in your abilities a little bit, old man,” she complained, putting her hand on her hip.
Scanlan sighed and put his violin down, scratching at his unkempt hair. “Nothing wrong with getting in a little practice before the big show! I want this to be perfect –” Pike didn’t listen to the rest as she tiptoed backwards and excitedly made her way back to the bedroom, closing the door behind her and tossing off her robe as she got back into the sheets. She waited ten, maybe fifteen minutes, eyes shut tightly in feigned sleep before the door opened again.
“Pike, my dear! I have a surprise for you,” Scanlan called out, and Pike feigned blinking slowly and yawned, stretching her arms above her head as she sat up against her pillows. She couldn’t bite back a smile as Scanlan struggled to balance the breakfast tray in one hand with his violin in the other and she wrapped the sheet just enough so Kaylie behind him wouldn’t get a full view of her bare chest (though she knew neither of them would mind).
She did her best impression of a surprised gasp and moved so the tray could balance on her lap. “Scanlan! What’s all this?”
Puffing his chest out but trying to be subtle about it, Scanlan waved for Kaylie to come in and put the violin aside to take Pike’s hand into both of his to kiss the back of it softly. “What better way to start off your birthday with some breakfast in bed and a song, hm?” He said, smiling wider as Pike kissed his cheek. Taking up his violin again, he nodded at Kaylie and took a step back to stand beside her as he got into position.
“Enjoy your meal, my love,” he said with a flourish, accompanying it with a bow as Kaylie rolled her eyes and began to play along with him. Pike clasped her hands to her chest and laughed, looking appreciatively at her plate of food.
“Don’t mind if I do!” She said with a happy shimmy as she took up her fork and knife and ate to the sound of strings and morning birds.
as a luckity lover who is also insane about hachi songs I am 👀👀👀 jsyk if u ever feel like sharing even if it’s wip I’d love to see!! (and I’m sure I’m not the only one lol)
Aw, you're so sweet! :') Yeah it's an old favorite of mine, it's such a classic song.
I'm REALLY considering sharing it because I have a terrible habit of starting a project then abandoning it halfway through (usually for reasons outside of my control) and it never seeing the light of day since I never have time to come back to it.
It's a very simple video since it's, you know, done in classic Donut Hole style, but I'm thinking about it! It's nice to know people are interested in seeing it, even if it's an unfinished WIP. Maybe I could share the entire thing with the completed part and initial sketches for what I had planned... 🤔
What's funny is that Quackity announced QSMP as I was working on it, so I actually used some frames from my Donut Hole project and made something to celebrate! (So I guess this is a sneak peak of a sneak peak? Haha).
