I found out they're remaking The Running Man with that new It-guy actor whomst looks like a bug and I am very fucking upset that they are touching my favorite Schwarzenegger movie. Do not touch it. Leave it alone. There is a charm to the 80's cheesiness that this new film will not even broach. It's meant to be the 80's brand of future dystopian, it's meant to be a little silly.

Can we stop remaking movies and just make new movies please?

[ TXT ] : are you thinking about me too?

Every single one of his muscles ached. For the uncounted time today (somewhere in the tens) Frank popped a Tylenol and gnashed it with his molar. He was getting too fucking old for this shit ... and yet. And yet he didn't stop pushing his boundaries, seeking fights. Physical, mostly, but on the rare occasion he'd start a scuffle with someone in the mental-emotional department. He'd lost track of when exactly he and Karen picked up this particular branch of their relationship, or who started it, but Frank was going to continue it.

He'd asked her to stay for coffee and she'd blown him off. So he waited a week, shot her a text, and then waited a few more days.

Honestly, he was surprised when his burner chimed. Brow rose as he dug into his pocket with his free hand while the other busied itself with making instant coffee. Thoughtlessly he pushed the remnants of over the counter pain medicine back to swallow with his tongue while he unlocked the screen of his phone and peered at the message.

Karen.

Then he read the words.

Are you thinking about me too?

Aloud he scoffed. Into the nothingness of his would-be bunker, filled with all of the pathetic sort of things a man haunted would occupy it with. Briefly he glanced at his kill-wall, the red string connections, and when he paced to his cot he set his coffee onto the nearest surface and let himself fall back against the pillow. His feet still hung off of the edge, unwilling to dirty where he slept with his boots.

Of course he was thinking about her. He was always thinking about her.

With one arm propped behind his head he stared at the message, then thumbed out a response.

[ TXT ]: Yeah, actually. I am. [ TXT ]: We gotta talk.

Hello new babushka's. I love you all.

Please send prompts at any time. They don't expire, I am just slow. Send them for any dynamic. Send as many as you want. Spam me. I love it. I will respond, I'm just slow.

But please know I am also on permanent low activity because of my job. So if slow and steady is not your thing, I am sorry but it's gonna keep being the moment.

If you want a ship, lmk. I love shipping. Because have such little time on, I'm gonna focus on ships cause they make me happy and I believe there's a lot of dynamics I can shove Francis into.

Lastly, I'm gonna stop using small text cause I'm old and my eyes hurt.

I will never have a bald Frank, or a close-shaved head Frank simply because I am not fond of the hairstyle.

Fades are fine. Frank got that fly fade.

Frank's motivations - DDBA, and why he fights so carelessly.

I've been chatting with Kate. A lot. Kate is a smart cookie and stimulates the good parts of my brain, and in these discussions we've covered why Frank fights so recklessly during DDBA. In previous seasons (DDs2, Punisher) he has thought and some measure of self-safety going into encounters. It's quite obvious in the scenes where we see combat with the Punisher that something is different and it comes down to one really simple thing -- he's trying to die.

Between Punisher s2 and DDBA there's a change in Frank. When we last see him he's causing mayhem and openly fucking with the ne'er-do-well's of NYC. Standard Punisher behavior. Frank, through self-admittance, is nothing without a war to fight and it only makes sense that he's continually waging one to keep himself busy. If nothing else, really.

But he's pushed everyone away. Ties with Micro and the Lieberman's have been cut (for their safety, and a chance at their normal life, despite being essentially inducted into their family), he sent Amy on her way to be a normal girl, and most importantly ... he pushed Karen away in one of their infamous "break ups". He has not a single soul, by his own design, and that means his reason for remaining human is gone.

Frank always toes the line between rage-machine, warmongering, violent vigilante and the man who started this because he had a reason. Maria and the kids, while physically gone, will never stop haunting him. With all of his tethers to humanity out of his life (by his own hand), Frank has nothing. It's just that despair, rage, and loneliness.

Karen really called it when she told him he was lonely. Of course he denied it, but it's true. The only link between his obviously declined mental state, lack of care for himself (have you seen the scars on him? the neck scar? how he's living? his murder wall? the fucking cot? popping tylenol and the occasional pain killer like candy?), and reckless fighting style is simple: he's given up and he's ready to die.

He's not the kind of man who will outwardly end his own life. Frank's stubborn, and being shot execution style didn't take him out, but he's done. He's alone, he's basically feral, and he's lost his anchors. (There's an entire post to be made about how important Karen is to him, beyond the obvious romantic connection). He won't outright end himself, but it's so obvious by his recklessness, the absence of every measure he'd previously taken, and his general I'm done, Red attitude that Frank is just hoping he'll find someone whose strong-enough to take him out ... because he will go down fighting.

It's just a matter of finding someone who is capable of it, because he's Frank. He's stubborn. He's rage incarnate.

But he's also lost his spark, and by his own hand, his reason to keep going.

I was never a huge fan of DnD but I had a run last year of death house and I think about my tiefling and how she inherited the house + the old bone grinder and became one of Strahd’s mistresses and just embraced evil.
