Accidentally doing something wrong infront of someone who you’ve chewed out for doing the thing wrong is maybe enough embarrassment to kill a horse

When I read The Outsiders in eight grade my entire (and I mean entire) English class was in love with Sodapop Curtis. My teacher could not get us to focus for a good five minutes because we were all giggling over a picture he’d given us on our study guides.

Points at the whiteboard again.

Act Two! (part 1 - soundtrack inclus)

Two months later, they’re in rehearsals for Bohemian Rhapsody, the play they invented that has become real. Tommy plays the main character, an aspiring singer who is being pursued by an evil gangster but is in love with a poor sailor. Sal plays the gangster, and Buck is the sailor. The parallels to real life are obvious to their friends.

Tommy and Buck are meeting up whenever they can sneak away from rehearsals and the Duke’s watchful eyes; every time Tommy calls him “Evan”, Buck falls a little more in love with him. They kiss behind stage during rehearsals, finding every little nook and cranny that can hide the two of them. Any night that the Duke isn’t with Tommy, he sneaks away at night to Evan’s tiny apartment where they can pretend it’s just the two of them.

Buck tells Tommy stories of his life before Paris; the travelling he’d done, the people he’d met, the women he’d loved. He tells Tommy that he was the first man that he’d ever kissed, and in that moment he’d felt like a whole new world had opened up to him. Tommy has to kiss him again about that.

Tommy tells Evan a little bit about his past, but glosses over some of the details. He’s never been happier than when he’s with Evan, and he doesn’t want to bring the mood down.

Back at the club, Bobby catches Tommy alone and warns him to be careful of the Duke. He and Athena have known people that have been hurt by him before, both physically and socially; his money and power allow him to get away with nearly anything he does.

Tommy tells Bobby he knows what he’s doing; Bobby says he cares about him and Buck and doesn’t want to see either of them hurt. Sal appears and echoes the sentiment — if he and Buck are going to stay together, they have to be more careful.

And, Sal adds, Tommy needs to look after himself. He’s noticed how worn down Tommy seems to be lately, and the cough that doesn’t seem to go away. Tommy assures him it’s nothing, just the strain that comes from rehearsing a new show.

The Duke arrives to take Tommy out. He’s frustrated with Tommy still working at the club and how much time the rehearsals take up. He shows Tommy the chateau he’s bought for him; he’ll allow Tommy to stay at the club until the show opens, but after that he wants Tommy to move into the chateau and cut ties with everyone from the club. The Duke takes him to all the finest clothing shops in Paris, saying his paramour can’t appear to be ‘less than’, it would have a negative impact on the Duke’s reputation.

Tommy reluctantly agrees, knowing this is the way to save the club and his family, but knowing that time is running ever shorter for them to be together. He allows the Duke to buy him a new wardrobe and forces himself into the uncomfortable clothing.

The next day at rehearsal, Evan blows up at him about the new clothing. He tells Tommy this isn’t him. Tommy reminds him that Evan knew what he was getting into, that Tommy has to do this to save his family, that his family is his priority.

Rehearsal is rocky. The Duke is there and complaining about almost all of the wardrobe and staging choices. Chimney is trying to smooth it over with him, while Eddie is trying to keep Buck from launching himself at the Duke.

They get to the scene where the sailor rescues the singer from the evil gangster. The Duke interrupts, saying that this gangster just wants what is best for the singer and can offer him more than what the sailor can, and why is that so wrong? Why does he have to be the bad guy in all of this? Chimney reminds him it’s a romance and a tragedy, and the show plays into those existing expectations. They reset the scene, but when Buck goes to speak his lines, his anger bursts out and he speaks directly to the Duke, telling him that Tommy doesn’t love him, he loves Buck, and the Duke needs to leave Tommy alone.

Eddie whisks Buck away immediately while Sal and Chimney try to cover for Buck and Tommy. Bobby pulls Tommy to the changing rooms backstage to get him out of the line of fire. The other dancers rally around him, saying that they can cancel the show, he can get away from the Duke, they’ll help him and Buck.

Tommy starts coughing and can’t stop. The handkerchief Bobby hands him comes away crimson.

The mood immediately changes. Sal has slipped in unnoticed. He asks Tommy if it’s consumption, if he’s seen a doctor. Tommy admits that he has seen a doctor, it is consumption, and he likely only has a few weeks left.

He tells them he needs this show to go on. He needs to know that his family will be okay when he’s gone. They don’t need to worry about the Duke, Tommy won’t be around long enough for it to be a problem.

He forbids them from telling Buck, or Eddie or Chimney. This is family only.

Tommy sneaks out one last time to see Evan. Evan begs him to run away with him, somewhere far away where the Duke won’t follow them. He paints a beautiful picture, a little house in countryside, filled with music and light, helping out other people like them, kids like them. His sister and Chimney can visit, they’ll be Aunt Maddie and Uncle Chimney, he doesn’t care if they’re poor, or even destitute, as long as they’re together.

Tommy can’t help but love the idea, but knows it can never happen. He tries to let Evan down gently, says this is his way out of the life, he can’t be a dancer forever, he can’t let his family down. If the show fails, there won't be a club to speak of. Evan begs him for one more night together, and Tommy isn’t strong enough to say no to that.

He sneaks out in the early morning before Evan wakes up.

For the next week, Tommy's family and Eddie and Chimney run interference between him and Buck and the Duke. He doesn’t see Buck outside of rehearsals. He spends more time with the Duke. Eddie admits they’re doing everything they can to keep Buck distracted.

It’s the opening night of the show, and Buck is nowhere to be found. The Duke insists Chimney go on in his place; after all, he’s the director, he knows the lines and the staging. He sneers at Tommy and tells him, see, that flighty artist was never good enough for you. He couldn’t even be here for your show. Tommy sees red, snaps, tells the Duke he doesn’t love him and never will, he can take the chateau back, he’ll never move in there.

The Duke storms off.

Tommy has another coughing fit, and Chimney is shocked to see the blood. Tommy admits that his consumption is getting worse, but he has to get through the show tonight. The other dancers promise to help him through it. Chimney sneaks away to tell Eddie and sends Eddie to find Buck.

Eddie doesn’t have to look very hard. Buck is outside the back doors trying to convince himself to walk in. He tells Buck about Tommy, and it’s all he needs to go running into the building.

The show is about to start though, and Chimney and Eddie have just enough time to get him into costume, and he doesn’t have time to talk to Tommy.

Tommy walks on stage to sing their song, the song that Evan wrote for him, to see Evan on the other side of the stage. He smiles, bright and beautiful.

Tommy starts to sing.

He collapses mid-song.

Evan and the other dancers rush to his side.

He and Evan hold each other tightly. He tells Evan he loves him, has since the first time he saw him. He tells Evan their song is perfect. He tells Evan not to let Tommy be his last; to still find love and beauty in the world.

He dies in the arms of his true love.

I am questioning fujimoto with these new csm chapters

[kjhmyg]

maybe i wont post the epilogue so RE can never end

[wheeliescoot]

I think Sonadow enjoyers don’t talk about that one cutscene from heroes enough…

Shadow zeroing in on “that hedgehog”, not having his memories back but clearly interested.

Sonic, after being obviously deeply affected by Shadow’s death at the end of SA2, plays it off when HES SUDDENLY ALIVE LIKE ITS NOTHINGGGG ..LIKE ITS NOTHING

And then they IMMEDIATELY fall into their silly banter, each with MATCHING smirks and looks at each other.

“Didn’t you know? We have a date with eggman too!”

“Is that so? Well then…it’ll be a DATE to DIE FOR!”

Just the way you can tell they’re both enjoying it too, especially Shadow. A lot of people like to act like Shadow doesn’t care for the banter he and Sonic often have in these games…but he does! Look at him smirking, puffing out his chest, hooded eyes, and all into it! Ahh!!!

hi, yes, me again—quick notes just cause i got like 15 asks abt certain things in relation to kotn in my time away and answering them in one is easier:

finney doesn’t LIKE torture. it does not bring him joy. he really doesn’t. partly because of childhood trauma, partly because of mr. b; the only person he actively likes causing pain to is robin. he tortures because he’s told to. the reason he goes off the rails so often and is never really seen being a perfect soldier in the present-tense of the fic is because bruce and griffin let him. when i said they were the ones who held the leash, i meant that. anything and everything he does is because bruce and griffin Let Him. if his actions bothered them past momentary concern it would be Known. quickly. they don’t get him in line because they don’t WANT him in line. they don’t jerk the leash and tighten it because they don’t WANT to. if they wanted to, they are not above it and will do it. finney knows this. he says, even in his own thoughts—that they’ve never done it to him. not that they never WOULD. if they view it necessary, they can do it.

griffin does like torture, but he doesn’t explicitly view it as torture. he doesn’t kill people often solely because he has never had much of a reason to, even on missions. he is with billy, and has since become unbothered by his own reveal to billy, because he has nothing to worry about. billy has proven he would do anything to keep griffin but only momentary pain and betrayal like injections and spiriting away via plane. griffin tortures people. he dissects people. it’s his day job. he is not at all worried whatsoever.

i also feel it’s imperative to say or rather to reiterate due to the chapters that will be released: bruce doesn’t like unnecessary violence, everything is a necessary death for a plan he has, calculated. he has never, and will never, kill without purpose in this fic. he does very horrific shit and i truly want to stress that. he is not at all above murder. and i want to also add he is the only character in this fic who is not above killing children if needed. vance may occasionally surprise him but do not think he is, by any means, the damsel in distress here. this is not a beauty and the beast situation. they are both the beast. (bruce’s previous reactions to death wasn’t because he doesn’t kill—it was because it was unnecessarily gorey which he is not a fan of or he didn’t like the dead bird bc it was freaking him out n the implication it was a GIFT for him/red knew his location n then AFTER the momentary panic he thought it (the bird) was cool. his nightmare about said bird in the next chapter was because he didn’t like the idea of being at someone’s mercy and being a goddamn bird? “he’s ‘lucifer’ he’s not a goddamn bird or pet” - bruce yamada probably)

also, them giving away their real names does not matter in the slightest😭 it is mentioned like three (3!) separate times that the only thing that can be found on the boys is what “donna wants them to find” like ive gotten three asks & two comments on why finney “gave up his real name”… because it didn’t matter? like. robin assumed witness protection, finney used that against him + knew robin wouldn’t dig deeper if finney begged. it is stated (by robin) and acknowledged by finney, himself, that he took ‘benny’s’ feelings for finney and used them against him! he knew exactly what he was doing/asking! besides the most robin would find using finn’s real name is that he’s an fbi agent. they kept the fake names n stuff bc it’s more practical than running around w their real names.

and finally, because this is a little ridiculous now: THE TAG ‘UNRELIABLE NARRATOR’ IS THERE FOR A REASON. what vance sees is not what bruce or finn sees. none of the characters experience events the same way, n some of them have very different feelings than others would think. that is, in fact, the point😭just bc it’s not overt as in ‘vance remembers an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CONVERSATION with different words said entirely’ way. unreliable narration can also be found in feelings and vibes characters have or portray vs what other people see.
