#AOM Playa

[casualblacklight]

AOM Boss? Yeah! (Ｔ▽Ｔ) ❤︎︎

But I've no story for him yet, bcs I want to finish the game before I'll give him a "story"... or background ...

The only thing I already know is: He barely talks and hides his face most of the time ¯\_( ' -' )_/¯

Kinda based on my Playa in SRTT Remastered bcs I didn't like how the hairstyle (the one I usually give him) looks in remastered, so gave him that one instead... and I kinda like it for that AU vwv

Prologue of my story. If you find errors in the text, I apologize. Johnny's dream or reality? Did Playa ever live or was it illusion? Does Johnny remember the past? Well.. we’ll see it. I like the thought of the boss's death in AoM and his SR live in past  is just illusion (or something else). It gives me inspiration for this.

Having finished Saints Row 1 a few weeks ago, I thought I’d share some of my thoughts in a semi-coherent manner.

If you’re used to Saints Row 2 or any of the later Saints Row games, Saints Row 1 is balls to the wall hard compared to them sometimes. The lack of checkpoints is an absolute pain during certain missions. And 8 activity levels is absolutely too much. I’m glad they shortened them to 6 and were generous enough to reward you for getting passed 3 levels in SR2. And Jesus Christ some of the races are unforgiving. So much trial and error to find what car works best for certain races.

The Hitman missions are...something. I managed to kill 4 or 5 random targets completely by accident while doing other stuff or fucking around. Wasn’t actively hunting or searching for them either. When I was looking for them, I spent god damn ice ages trying to make them spawn. At least they still reward you at the end of each list completion, as opposed to SR3.

And while the need to kill them with certain weapons is a neat idea on paper, it’s horrible in practice. They should’ve made it so you’d get a bigger money reward if you killed them with the desired weapon but not mandatory.

Why of why did SR2 and 3 remove the on foot radio? I loved doing diversions and fucking around while listening to it. Had a car flip and land on its side. Then it kept hopping ever so slightly while I was still inside as the chorus went “Look at me, look at me, look at me, I’m a winner!” I wish I was recording that.

Snatch, Trafficking and Escort always sucked and I have no idea why they kept these shit activities for SR3 while removing the fun ones.

It was frustrating having stores be closed at knight. I run into Friendly Fire to get me some ammo and then remember that this isn’t SR2 and the alarm goes off. I do actually prefer how store robberies are handled in SR1 though. And I really liked the safe cracking and package delivery diversions. Shame they were gone by SR2

Seeing Zombie Lin is heartbreaking.

LOVE the mansions and penthouse cribs you unlock after each story arc.

Requiring you to find all tag locations to unlock unlimited stamina was pure sadism on Volition’s part. You can’t change my mind on this.

The CD collection is actually worthwhile this time if only for “Man Up” and “Saints Row” as opposed to the silly stock music in SR2.

Was sad that Tobias isn’t a homie, but I loved hanging out with Mr. Wong, Laura and Samantha. Shame Wong and Laura aren’t homies in SR2.

As much as Warren is treated and thought of as an imbecile for wanting to go to war with the Saints, he was actually right. Had Ben King stepped up as soon as they blew up and “killed Aisha”, the Saints might’ve been dead before the starting line. King was kind of an idiot and should’ve expected the revolt.

It’s saddening that you can’t hang out with Johnny, Dex, Troy or Julius after the story.

All of the hair options were garbage. Gave my Playa a ponytail, but it looked so awfuls, that I had to give Playa a bandana for the entire game to make it look decent.

Richard Hughes’ dialogue in the final cutscene was clearly meant for a different backdrop, possibly a hotel or expo building, as shown with lines like “Could you wait outside?”, “Steve, could you come in here?” and “I have a party to get to.” even though he’s outside. On a boat.

Some of the radio ads were obnoxious, like the T’n’A and Lik-a-Chic ones. The voice actors had fun and it shows, but the ads themselves are groan worthy.

“CATCH DA LUCKY PINGPONG BALL AND YOU GET TO RELOAD DA CANNON”

“THE NEW FUCK-IT-BUCKIT”

There are several ped dialogue lines that talk about Julius being a coward and never finishing what he starts. I find that interesting as it sheds some light into his sudden betrayal of Playa and subsequent justification for it.

Was disappointed you don’t unlock all the enemy gang vehicles like you do in SR2. The fact that none of them had their own custom decals also sucked.

I like how you can buy out clothing stores. Beats having to go to a store and then try to remember if you bought a shirt or pants a certain color already like in SR2.

I can hardly believe that Stilwater has changed so much between SR1 and 2. I can honestly say I know how the Boss felt at the start of SR2 now.

The activity cutscenes were downgraded considerably in SR2. The SR1 cutscenes made the city feel more alive, more involved.

There was an attempt with ped dialogue to make them more believable, like talking about how their loved ones could’ve been widows/orphans because of you. I like that

The portrayal of women in SR1 is....eeeeeh? Like, I’m not gonna cry misogyny at something just because it has hookers or shows bad women or whatever, but you can tell that SR1 was made in the mid-2000′s, when most portrayals of women were as desirable sex objects. I don’t think it was intentionally misogynistic on Volition’s part. Just a product of its time. They got better by the second game and much better by the time AoM came out.

I find the first story cutscene to be both utterly ridiculous and endearing and how Playa joins the Saints.

“Levar, you gonna let those bitches disrespect us?”

“Shiet wha’chu think?”

Like imagine the Boss discussing how they entered the Saints with the younger crew.

“I crossed the street. Got my leg injured. Went to church. The rest is history.”

“But-”

“History.”

All in all, I loved the first Saints Row. Great potential that was realized in Saints Row 2, but even then Saints Row 2 took some steps backwards compared to the first game. But the improvements were so vast that they outshine those backsteps. Man, it’s no wonder SR3 and beyond have been plummeting in quality and writing. Saints Row peaked to early with 1 and 2. Agents of Mayhem was a small step in the right direction though.

Unfinished Work (JohnnyXF!Boss)

I’ve been pretty stressed and busy last couple of months so I haven’t been keeping up with my AOM au stuff, and I feel guilty! So, here’s some old shit with Johnny and my Boss/Playa, Belle. Woop.

Johnny was numb as he stood before the Playa’s loft. His keys were biting into his palm as his fist tightened around them, but he could barely think about them as the stained door mocked him for his cowardly ass. It had nearly been six months since the Playa was “killed” on Hughes’ boat. Julius was gone. Troy was a cop. Dex was a fucking sell-out. And he didn’t even know if the Playa was alive or not. The Saints had all but splintered apart without their leader- and without their Playa. He’d been staying with Aisha for the last few months, and while she’d been really good with him, she’d finally kicked his ass into going to get the Playa’s things from her shitty flat before the cops finally tracked it down. The thought of Troy and the rest of those pigs getting their dirty fingers all over her things wound him up so much that he had to take a minute so he didn’t break another one of Eesh’s tables. He had smashed the last one in a fit of rage when the news report showed the burning carcass of Hughe’s yacht, a “nameless” person being fished from the ocean barely alive. He knew deep in his gut that it was her. Before he even could do anything about it, she had been taken away from him- taken away from the Saints without even a fucking clue. He only realised he had kicked the glass table to pieces when Aisha was yelling right in his ear.

Johnny took a deep breath, found his spare key to the loft, and with a tight grip he unlocked the door. It took a strong jerk of the key, a kick to the bottom right corner of the door and a shove of his elbow, and he slipped inside quietly. He was struck by how untouched it looked. The Playa had always lived neatly, despite the shithole she chose as her home. She had covered the walls in posters of old movie stars and models, covered the decaying floorboards with rugs of varying shades and patterns. The cozy looking mattress in the corner was covered in old pillows and quilts, all retouched and fixed by her own hands. Johnny toed off his shoes slowly, his throat feeling tight and uncomfortably hot. He had brought boxes in the car, ready to take as much of her stuff as he could and look after until she got back.

In case she got back.

That thought was sour on his tongue, and turned his guts in the wrong way. She would be back. The Playa was his partner in crime, his sister-in-arms- his best friend. He’d never told her that, he realised. He would tell her when she got back. He stepped onto the soft rugs, moving closer to her shelves next to her bed. There were a number of books, knick-knacks and photos scattered across them. He leafed through a couple of the books, finding recipes and “How To” books for her arts and crafts. The cheap Polaroid photos varied from pictures of scenery, to pictures of the gang, to pictures of herself. No pictures of before her life with them, and most of them of her and Aisha- and him. His eyes rolled over the small space, a part of him fully expecting the Playa to push through her shitty door, and start scolding him in her newly found voice for snooping through her things, her big smile giving her away.

God, I’ve only heard her speak once.

He quickly put the photos back as the vivid memory of her chatting away outside Freckle Bitches burned his mind, turning away to go back to the car and grab the boxes. He wanted this over with quickly. Johnny almost missed the cardboard box overflowing with colour under the small, round table by the kitchen. It was tucked under the spindly wooden chair, hidden in the shadows. He crept towards it, brows drawing together as if the box was an explosive. He hefted it up onto the table, and slowly pulled out the soft mass of purple material inside. It unfolded and opened up to show a half finished quilt, the rich shades of purple squares filled with little images, artfully stitched with care. As his eyes darted over the blanket, he saw a little Freckle Bitches logo, some of his favourite guns, some of Aisha’s favourite flowers and drinks, and in the centre of the piece, just above the edge still yet to be continued, was a profile of what seemed to be him and Aisha, facing each other in a soft coloured heart. Johnny rushed back to reality as he heard the snapping of a stitch, his hands curled so tightly in the thing that he was about to fucking tear it apart. He immediately eased his grip on the quilt, only to find his hands trembling, ever so slightly.

She never got to finish this stupid fucking quilt - and she might never get a chance to.

“Oh…” His voice was rough with emotion, but he couldn’t find it in him to care, taking solace in the fact that it was just him and the Playa’s belongings.

His shoulders hunched forward as he hung his head over that stupid blanket, the silence crushing.

“Belle…”

The rage followed the sorrow swiftly, the feeling almost comforting as he folded the blanket carefully back into the box. He knew what he had to do now. Johnny packed away all of Belle’s belongings with a gentle hand, clothes and all, and took them back to Aisha’s house to be securely stashed in her attic.

And over a quiet dinner, Johnny planned out just how exactly he was going to kill Troy Bradshaw.

Los accidentes aéreos más grandes en los últimos 30 años en Cuba

Los accidentes aéreos más grandes en los últimos 30 años en Cuba 29 de abril de 2017 - 18:04 - Por REDACCIÓN El último accidente aéreo en Cuba fue en 2010 cuando fallecieron 68 personas que viajaban en un vuelo entre Santiago de Cuba y La Habana, las dos ciudades más importantes del país Un avión militar cubano, modelo AN-26, y perteneciente a la aerolínea Aerogaviota, se estrelló este sábado en el occidente de la isla, ocasionando la muerte de los ocho militares que iban a bordo. El hecho, reconocido en la prensa oficial, se produjo cuando un avión AN-26, que despegó a las 6:38 de la mañana del aeropuerto de Playa Baracoa, en el occidente de la isla, colisionó contra "Loma de la Pimienta", unas montañas también situadas en el occidente del país. "Como resultado de este hecho, fallecieron los ocho militares a bordo, incluyendo los integrantes de la tripulación", señaló una nota oficial del Ministerio de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias. El último accidente aéreo en Cuba fue en 2010 cuando fallecieron 68 personas que viajaban en un vuelo entre Santiago de Cuba y La Habana, las dos ciudades más importantes del país. En los últimos 30 años, Cuba ha reportado en territorio nacional cuatro grandes accidentes vinculados con la aeronáutica. - El siniestro más grave de la aeronáutica cubana ocurrió en septiembre de 1989, cuando un avión modelo Ilushin 62, con destino a Milán, cayó en La Habana poco después de despegar. Murieron todos sus ocupantes y también otras 40 personas en tierra por la caída de restos del aparato sobre viviendas cercanas al aeropuerto. - En julio de 1997, un aparato Antonov 24 con 39 pasajeros a bordo, se estrelló en el mar poco después de salir del aeropuerto de Santiago de Cuba. - En el año 2002, se estrelló un avión Antonov-2 de fabricación rusa que realizaba la ruta de la empresa AeroTaxi entre la ciudad de Cienfuegos y el balneario turístico de Cayo Coco. Murieron las 16 personas que iban a bordo, mayoritariamente turistas canadienses, británicos y alemanes. - En noviembre de 2010, un avión de pasajeros de la compañía chárter Aerocaribbean se estrelló en una zona escarpada de difícil acceso en las proximidades de la central ciudad de Sancti Spíritus. El aparato era un ATR-72 de fabricación francoitaliana y en él viajaban 68 personas. El avión cubría la ruta entre Santiago de Cuba y La Habana, las dos principales ciudades del país. La aviación cubana también ha sufrido accidentes fuera de la isla en este período de tiempo. - En noviembre de 1992, el vuelo CU-T1270 de Aerocaribbean se estrelló contra una loma cuando intentaba aterrizar en Puerto Plata, República Dominicana. Hubo 34 muertos. - En agosto de 1998, en Quito, Ecuador, el vuelo CU-T1264 de Cubana de Aviación no pudo tomar altura y se estrella en casas cerca del aeropuerto. Había 90 personas a bordo. Hubo 81 muertos, incluyendo 9 vecinos del lugar. - En diciembre de 1999, el vuelo CU-T1285 de Cubana de Aviación choca con una loma por Bejuma, a 160 km de Caracas y 15 km del aeropuerto de Valencia, cerca de las 20.00 horas de la noche. Se reportaron 22 muertos. La nave era un Yak-42. - Ese mismo mes y año, el vuelo F-GTDI de Cubana-AOM, con 314 personas a bordo, se salió de la pista del aeropuerto La Aurora, en Ciudad Guatemala, por un error del piloto. El avión se precipitó sobre el pueblo colindante al aeropuerto. Hubo 26 muertos y 44 heridos.

AoM Boss again 👉👈

[casualblacklight]

I have so much to say about this but... nah...

Boss recognizing Gat in AOM is the thing I think about lately v.v

[casualblacklight]

Just scribbling and being a bit love deprived... ( ; ᵕ ;)♡

[casualblacklight]

Just wanted to join the new meme thing 😂👉👈

[casualblacklight]

More AOM Playa 🥺💜

[casualblacklight]

I'm still in AOM mood... and I'm sorry qwq

I'll just continue drawing random pieces of the story that lives in my head ¯\_( ' -' )_/¯

[casualblacklight]

I still think about Boss in Agents of Mayhem (｡ŏ_ŏ)

And yeah, I do have some kind of an story idea since Playa actually doesn't appear there at all. Not as a part of L.E.G.I.O.N no ... but also not as M.A.Y.H.E.M. member... at least not at first... ✧ω✧

(The fact I only like to play AOM because of Pierce and Johnny... ufff... q.q)
