laser tag (jill roord x arsenal!reader)
Tumblr media
at some point you’re going to have to acknowledge your not so platonic feelings for each other... but in the mean time, what about a game of laser tag?
word count: 1232 ish
——
“y/n!”
your eyes snapped back to leah’s face, the defender sporting an annoyed look as you smiled sheepishly.
“i’m sorry what were you saying?”
leah scoffed in disbelief.
“you’re impossible. i was asking you if you wanted t-”
you tuned her out again.
you weren’t always this distracted, but at the moment you were much, much more interested in watching a certain midfielder across the room.
leah followed your gaze and rolled her eyes.
you two were both equally oblivious.
the pining had started ever since jill transferred to arsenal.
and that had been a year ago.
your teammates were ready to rip their hair out, waiting for someone to make the first move.
not to mention there was a bet circulating, leah having bet on you to make the first move, which seeing your state now may not have been the best idea.
but then again jill was just as oblivious.
one could hope.
leah cleared her throat.
your eyes snapped back.
“i’m sorry what were you sayi-“
“ask her out.”
“what?” you shook your head at the suggestion, your cheeks tinted red with embarrassment.
“i said ask her out.”
“no i- she doesn’t like me like that.”
you were full on blushing now, and from across the room jill’s eyes settled on your face.
you looked across the room again, eyes widening when you see the midfielder’s eyes already on you.
jill looked away quickly, cheeks flushing red after being caught staring.
and even through the heart beat in your hears you thought you heard the collective facepalming of your teammates.
~~
“well i call daan!” you yell, sticking your tongue at leah’s offended expression.
on your off day, the team decided that laser tag would be the best team bonding exercise.
a bunch of over competitive twenty years olds in a dark room. what could go wrong?
the team had set you and viv as captains, and after a totally not rigged game of rock paper scissors, viv had the first pick.
viv had picked jill with no hesitation, and you groaned internally, having wanted to pick jill for your own team.
a few rounds of picking came and went, the teams were now set, and you made your way into the room.
viv’s team was red, yours was blue.
you had come prepared, drafting team tactics the night before. as you recited them to your team, you mind couldn’t help but drift and think about how good jill looked in that hoodie...
leah flicked your ear.
“stop dozing off we need to win.”
you shoved her back lightheartedly, and upon finishing your tactic review, the countdown started.
3.
2.
1.
the timer began for 30 minutes, and chaos ensued.
by the 10th minute, a good half of the red team was out, equaling the number of eliminations for the blue team.
you were waiting, hunched on top of a tall structure, waiting for an unsuspecting enemy to come forth.
time passed and it was the 29th minute now, leaving you and daan, against viv and jordan.
you heard jordan yell in frustration as daan sneaked behind her, and there it was. 2 to 1.
your patience finally paid off when you saw viv run along against the wall, your hiding position giving you a perfect angle to finish the round.
viv scrunched her nose up in confusion when her vest lit up, looking around to see where she had been shot from.
as the buzzer beeped signifying the end of the round, you jumped down from close to the ceiling.
“you’re insane.”
you just shrugged.
“this is survival. one must do what one can to survive.”
viv just rolled her eyes.
the second round was a lot less eventful, as you were the main target that round, the red team winning after just 10 minutes.
here the scoreline stood, blue team 1, red team 1.
this was the last round.
what did the winner get? bragging rights? eternal glory?
honestly we don’t even know.
but you were dead set to win.
giving your team one final pep talk, the countdown began again, but this time, you were ready.
elimination after elimination happened for either side, and the player count for each team dwindled from 11 to 6, and finally to 1.
you were left.
it was showtime.
you didn’t know who was left on the other side, but you were prepared to give it your all.
after a few long minutes of silence, you snuck around, and stood backed up into a corner on the left side of the room.
you craned your head over the wall, but furrowed your eyebrows when you didn’t see the red flash of color from the opposing team.
“looking for me?”
you turned so suddenly that you smacked your arm against the wall and dropped your laser gun.
of course.
it had to be jill.
the dutch girl’s smile was so bright it could almost light up the entire room.
and you.
you were stupidly starstruck.
the girl was just so unfairly attractive.
and then you noticed that jill’s laser gun was still in her hand.
yours was... on the ground somewhere.. where did it go?
you looked down and groaned.
it was too far away.
she had you cornered.
“hey let’s let’s talk about this” you stammered, nervously chuckling as she walked closer.
she just walked forward with a grin.
“this is so unfair i-“
your words died in your throat as she stood in front of you, effectively pinning you against the wall.
“listen jill-“
you scrunched up your brow in confusion when she dropped her arm that held the gun.
“what are you-“
all of a sudden her lips were on yours.
she was kissing you.
she kissed you.
your mind went blank, her hand slipping around your waist and your hands shooting up to tangle themselves in the dutch girl’s hair.
you were faintly aware of the cheering from your teammates watching in the gallery room, but your full attention was on the girl in front of you.
she was kissing you.
after a little bit jill pulled away slowly, your dazed expression making her chuckle.
she whispered against your lips, “i win.”
it was the flashing of your vest seconds after that brought you back to reality.
“that was so unfair” you pout, pushing jill lightly.
“yeah but it worked didn’t it?”
“shut up.”
jill just smiled, and on your way out of the room slipped her fingers between yours.
the two of you were met with cheering as soon as you stepped through the doors, both of you flushing red with embarrassment.
“damn jill’s got game!” daan exclaimed, “didn’t know you had it in you jilly!”
the midfielder rolled her eyes and kissed your cheek before she moved away from you.
your face heated up from the act.
having split back up into teams, you took a seat next to leah across the room.
“not only did you make me lose the game today, you made me lose money too you ball-less idiot” she grumbled.
you scoffed and gave her a shove.
you looked over to the midfielder and having caught your glance from across the room, jill gave you a wink which you couldn’t help but blush at.
leaning over towards your ear leah whispered,“hey at least you’re going to get lai- ow!”
“piss off williamson.”

Laser Tag Academy: The Battle Hymn of Jaren’s: What The Hell Was That? (Patreon Review for Emma Fici)
Tumblr media
Hello all you happy people! I’m Jake and I review animation and comics and today we’re looking at a fun one and after a long week getting ready for a garage sale and with three meaty reviews coming next week, I needed it. This is one emma’s wanted for a while but other ideas and what not have meant it took a bit to get to it. That and when originally thought about in Febuary, we both realized maybe a gloriously stupid laser tag show from the 80′s wouldn’t handle the civil war tactfully enough to have it in black history month.
Tumblr media
But it’s finally here and it.. it’s a lot in the best way possible. Every once in a while as a reviewer you luck into something truly special no other reviewer seems to hav recovered. Something wonderful. Something PROFOUNDLY STUPID in the most hilarious way possible.  My friends and anyone just joining us, I welcome you to Lazer Tag Academy. I’m hoping to go back there someday because this episode alone was a gold mine of terrible creative decisions, unfortunate implications, and hlariously insane choices for the series as a whole. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Watch me rock. 
Tumblr media
So just from the SETUP this is weird. A lot of this is from wikipedia as I only had the intro on the incredibly blurry rip I had to watch this on youtube but given i’m sure whoever has the rights to this doen’t even know they HAVE the rights for this, that’s fair. 
Anyways the premise is this: It is the year 3010 and Laser Tag has evolved to the point that while it still has vests and laser guns, said lasers can do whatever’s convient to the plot, all crime has been abolished, wild stalyins are seen as gods and there’s free fro-yo on thursdays. But disaster strikes when generic bad dude and space pirate Draxon Drear from the year 2061 is awakened from cryo with his army of troll monsters. Because every villian has to have inept comedy minons and gremlins had came out two years before this, so he got space gremlins. 
Anyways because the Lazer Tag stuff was invented in 1987, Draxon heads back there to kill it’s inventor as a child, then settles into trying to destroy her ancestors so that do anything lazer tag never exists. Why is he doing this? Why is his plan so self destructively stupid? Does he realize this might undo his timeline or make him fade into nothing? does he realize that doing this will likely cause the timeline to collapse in on itself from the insane number of paraodoxes? 
Tumblr media
But it’s comedy gold. So Lazer Tag Champ Jamie Jaren , whose naturally a teenager with attitude goes back and recurits said inventor ancestor, Beth, her older brother tom, and their little brother nicky as teenagers and a baby child respectively. Together they go through time to stop this monumentual dumabss from destroying everything with his sheer incompetence and mustache twirling. 
Now you know the plot this episode in paticular.. takes place during the Civil War. You know the war where a bunch of racist idiots succeded and even in loosing put up monuments to our failure so their desendants could piss and moan any time a person of color asks for a monument to the people who fogught for them to be in chains to be taken down. That Civil War.
So with our cast as white as snow, it’s probably not a huge shock that this 80′s kids show dosen’t show a single black person and basically sidesteps the whole racisim issue. And I don’t begrudge the 80′s lazer tag show with gremlins for not tackling race. A bit above their weight. Granted with all of time I wouldn’t of MADE a civil war episode, but still I get it. 
I do however judge them for deciding to do that.. and then having the Jaron’s relative they need to rescue being a confederate bugle boy
Tumblr media
Yup. Now I DO get what their going for on paper: his love intrest, and their great grandma is with the union. He’s supposed to learn a lesson and grow as a person and realize he’s on the wrong side. He NEVER does this and it’s said at the end they marry afterwords. They also have your standard “We hate each other till we love each other” relatoinship that’s just.. boring. There’s no real character progression which again, is a lot to ask of Lazer Tag Academy but even other 80′s toy commericals like the Transformers or GI Joe tried harder when they did a very specail episode to actually have character in the lesson. Or at least had a  talking robot dinosaur to compensate. This is just nothing.
But what really puts it over the top is that the bad guy DRESSES HIMSELF AS A UNION COMMANDER, and puts his GREMLINS IN UNION UNIFORMS. not to mention leads an ANGRY UNION MOB AGAINST OUR HEROES
Tumblr media
I.. don’t know how far up your own ass you have to be to not see that making the union the bad guys is a problem. Like if this were a clever use of the villian knowing they’ll win it’d be fine. But instead you have a mustache twriling discount lex luthor and discount hobgoblins fighting for the side that’s positoin wa “slavery and tearing our country apart bad. I get this was the 80′s, I get their story editoir was just a mountain of cocaine wearing sunglasses but NO ONE on staff looked at this and thought “say maybe we’re sending kids a bad message”. Okay mountain of cocaine with sunglasses probably did but he probably died up someone’s nose before he could say something. 
Tumblr media
Yeah see in addition to ALL of this.. which is a lot, and which dosen’t even include their ancestor stealing their laser guns and bikes to give to general lee. oh btw they use their bikes to time travel because they coudln’t afford the right sto a deloreon but they could still rip off using a vehicle from back to the future for free with bikes. 
But yeah their female ancestor FALLS IN LOVE WITH TOME. Her too many greats to look up grandson. 
Tumblr media
Yeahhhh OF ALL THE THINGS TO STEAL FROM BACK TO THE FUTURE, WHY THE ACCIDENTAL INCEST. And for the record.. Marty WASN’T into it. He was , as any sane rational human would be, completely grossed out his mom was hitting on him and tried to stop it. Tom on the other hand? He looks to be pulling a Phillip J Fry any second and the only thing that stops him is his sister and descendant putting the breaks on his skeezy antics. Did Mountain of Cocaine with Sunglasses do no proof reading?
So yeah as for the plot discount lex luthor tries to kill them, incest nearly happens, their ancestor is a prick until he isn’t, and the gremlins do a kidnapping. You know what you’d expect from this show. 
So yeah.. this episode was batshit insane and I had a blast watching it with my close friend mars as we laughed or starred in disbelief. This was damn fun and I hope to go back there someday in the hopes another episode of this reaches this level of “what the fuck were they thinking”. Thank you for reading.

theory: you're only allowed on the council if you're sexy
asari? sexy. salarians? not traditionally sexy, but the first aliens the asari ever met and first contact is /very/ sexy. turians? arguably the sexiest. did i say arguably? i meant inarguably.
"the hanar will get a seat on the council before the volus do" -- neither species is considered particularly sexy, but you can't have sex with a volus because one of you needs to be in a pressurized suit or you'll explode. also, hanar have tentacles. people are into that.
humans? originally not considered very sexy. weird looking. fuzzy. some of them look like asari but they're not even blue.  
but then!! humanity saves everyone from a big scary ship and a bunch of robots!! that was VERY sexy of them. welcome to the council, hot stuff.

Hey fun background moment of genius in The Rashomon Job
The first few times we see the head of security come rushing down the stairs looking for Sophie, he’s shown holding a gun, because everyone else saw an intimidating, competent man who takes his job maybe too seriously. They were moving quickly, they saw him holding something long and narrow and black and their brains filled in ‘huge fuck off gun’ because that made sense to them.
That’s sort of the point of the episode (and of Rashomon style stories in general), everyone sees something different because we all view the world differently.
It’s not until the end, during Nate’s story, that the episode reveals the gun was actually a box of roses. When we get the shot of him rushing down the stairs, he’s holding a box, not a gun. We see the guard giving Nate the box, showing him what’s inside. 
But.
That’s not the first time we see the box as a box, and not a gun.
Because you know who saw a dangerous man holding something long and narrow and black and did not see a gun?
Eliot
Eliot saw this man the way the rest of the team did -- scarily intense, suspicious of them all from the get go, dangerous -- but he still saw the box. Because he was a soldier, he’s the hitter, the one most likely to be facing down the men with guns. It is in Eliot’s best interest to see guns when there are guns, even at a glance, even in passing, even if the man holding it is a hyper-competent security guard.
The director didn’t need to make the switch. I wouldn’t have thought twice about it. Hell, I didn’t even notice until my third or fourth viewing. It flashes by so quickly, the man is far in the background, the camera doesn’t linger. 
But they did. It's such a clever detail, and it shows they have such an attention to the character even when it doesn’t really matter.

Tag, You’re It
Tumblr media
Pairing: Dean x Reader
Summary: The reader challenges Dean to a round of laser tag, to see who’s really the best shot.
Triggers: None really, just fluff
Y/N = Your name | Y/E/C = Your eye colour
Tumblr media
“Pull in here Dean!” You bounced excitedly in your seat as you pointed to the arcade in front of you. Smile wide and (Y/E/C) eyes bright with the premature rush of a challenge as you twisted in your seat to raise a teasing eyebrow at the grumbling hunter.
Dean Winchester, however, didn’t seem as excited for the prospect ahead of him. Even though he’d been all for it when you’d raced him to the car. All big words, sharp eyes and squared shoulders, ready to prove you wrong on your assumption that you’d beat him in a one to one shoot out. 
Of course, he’d probably also not thought you’d be dragging him to the closest arcade to put his bragging to the test straight away. Considering the challenge, he’d most likely considered it to at best involve a gun range and at worst a bunch of tin cans in a pretty little line.
“Are we really doing this?” Dean groaned, though he still turned into the car park with a grimace and hesitant green eyes locked on the big, faded ‘Fun Land’ sign in front of the door. Seeming less impressed by the second as he took in the crumbling facade.
Honestly, the place had seen better days. 
The sign looked like it was just one bad gust away from crashing to the ground. The ‘F’ was faded and dented enough to barely be visible at all, renaming the old arcade to ‘Un-Land’ instead. And the obvious signs of rust creeping in from the sides of the vintage styled metal hinted at years of neglect. But hell, it was the only arcade in a 10-mile radius, and it would have to do. 
Hopefully the equipment inside wasn’t in as bad of a state as the outside. The reviews had been good online after all. Though you were still adamant that you could beat Dean in a shoot off even if your only available weapon was a peashooter. 
“Hell yes we’re doing this. If you’re gonna brag and say you’re better than me, you have to be ready to put your money where your mouth is,” You grinned, reaching for the door as soon as he pulled the Impala into one of the many available parking spots. 
Based on the ghost town of a parking lot; the old and rundown arcade was pretty much empty. Which was what you’d been aiming for when you pulled Dean along early on a Monday morning. You didn’t need other soldiers on the battlefield if you were going to show him you were the better shot. Though, in your own totally humble opinion, the place could’ve been full, and you’d still come out on top of any damned leader board. You knew your way around guns. 
Any type of gun.
“But… Laser tag? Isn’t that just for kids’ birthday parties and boring stripper-less bachelor parties?” Dean’s deep voice was right behind you once he spoke up again. Sending surprised little pleasurable shivers up your spine as you turned to face him, nearly bumping into his chest from how close he was. 
It took you a second to find your voice; your head loud with some not-so-innocent thoughts about the gorgeous hunter in front of you. 
Damn it.
It was unfair how mentally tongue-tied he could leave you by just standing that little bit too close to you. Those broad shoulders and muscular arms easily brought with them fantasies best reserved for the four walls of your own room back at the bunker at any given point of the day. Even more so when they were close enough for you to run your fingers over. 
Especially when the rest of the man was just as sinfully gorgeous. From those slightly bowed legs and his perfectly toned chest, making you wonder how all of him would feel pushed up against you, one strong thigh between your legs and calloused fingers circling your wrists. To those tempting full lips and that defined jaw peppered with just the right amount of stubble to make you want to trace it with your tongue. And of course, your favourite pair of bright green eyes; easier to get lost in than any national forest. 
Ok, so maybe you had a tiny bit of a crush on the wilderness that was Dean Winchester. 
Which meant the added bonus of getting some time alone with him did add to your giddy energy. But it was 99% about proving him wrong… Or maybe 75%, at least. Swallowing down your own dirty mind, you pushed your thoughts aside along with the buzz in your veins from reacting to the near magnetic pull of him by walking backwards towards the door to the arcade. 
“Well, bachelors and birthday parties will have to wait in line. Right now, it’s a way for me to kick your ass,” You shot back, a little too late and too weak, when you found your voice again. Adding a secret ‘and to help you de-stress’ to yourself as he rewarded your teasing words with a roll of his eyes and a huff before he followed you to the door. 
Dean had been a bit on edge lately. Not that you blamed him. But it hurt to watch him pace the floor dragging a fidgeting hand through his hair and not finding any outlet for his nervous energy. Which was really why you’d challenged him in the first place.
You both turned to your little challenges whenever one, or both, of you were on edge from the tense lack of action between hunts. It made the quiet days easier to deal with when you had nothing to hit. He was your best friend, even if you felt more than just friendship for the hunter, and you just wanted to help him. To make him smile again.
There had always been a great chemistry between you two. Some intuitive part of you that just knew when the other was hurting, or needed an outlet for the building adrenaline, energy and frustration. Maybe it was just friendship, maybe it was something more. Personally, for you it was definitely the latter and sometimes you believed it was the same for Dean. You’d just not been able to own up to it properly yet. At least not enough to find the needed courage to test your theory that those hidden glances you sometimes caught out of the corner of your eye meant he felt the same way you did.
“I don’t know…” Dean sighed as you turned on your heel to push the door open, happy to see the inside looking a hell of a lot more modern and cleaner than the fading outside shell of the building. Hopefully their ‘state of the art’ laser tag arena lived up to the hype you’d read about online. Each session apparently came with a scoped rifle, a handgun and a ‘smoke grenade’ that was more a burst of steam than anything. All set in a dark maze made to look like an abandoned warehouse. 
A setting you were both intimately familiar with from your many hunts. 
“You’re just scared ‘cause you know you can’t beat me,” You sing-songed teasingly as you nearly skipped towards the reception desk. Happy to see that the inside looked as empty as the parking lot. Which meant there shouldn’t be too long of a wait. And hopefully you’d have the whole arena to yourselves. So you could properly school the hunter.
“Oh… It’s on…” Dean winked at you. That boyish half-grin chasing away the rest of his annoyed reluctance as he fell into step next to you. Bumping a toned bicep against your shoulder when you rewarded his agreement with a loud victorious laugh which only sounded louder in the empty arcade. 
Ok, so it was more than just a tiny crush. 
You loved Dean Winchester. You just needed to get your shit together for long enough to tell him. Hopefully without destroying your friendship. 
---
“Not fair (Y/N)!” Dean tried to sound annoyed as his vest blinked red to signal your clear shot to his chest, but the laughter soaking the words took the edge off it. 
You’d been kicking ass and taking names for the first fifteen minutes of the thirty-minute round. Though Dean kept telling you it was only because you kept hiding from him. Either that or because the gun was lighter, he was new to laser tag, or one of a million other whiny excuses. 
For the first ten minutes, the big guy hadn’t taken your game seriously. Allowing you to easily duck around corners and sneak up on the hunter. Your movements hidden by the music and the blinking lights as you used your handgun to get in a clean shot before running away laughing. Blatantly ignoring the ‘no running’-signs that littered the walls. 
Once your point lead had been announced at the ten-minute mark however. Then the game became deadly serious. Forcing you to switch tactics to keep your lead. Finding the high ground and dropping to the floor to use your scoped rifle to snipe at him from behind the chain link fence on the higher platform. 
Which was exactly where you were as he called out to you above the music and teased a laugh from you that gave away your position. Leaving you just a few short seconds to roll to the side and scramble back up on your feet before he closed in on you. Easily getting in a shot at the back of your vest just before you rounded another corner. 
---
His points were closing in on yours. 
“Stop moving so much! You’re cheating!” Dean’s laughter sounded from somewhere behind you as you raced towards another corner with a loud, breathless laugh of your own.
The twenty-minute mark had seen a point score that was both in triple digits and the distance between your points was shrinking fast. The hunter’s longer strides left you to run away, ducking and rolling half the time as he kept trying to get in shots at you while you zig-zagged away from him.
“All’s fair in love and war Dean!” You shot back with a breathless laugh over your shoulder before rounding the corner and jumping a small barrier to lie in wait, knowing he’d follow you around it sooner rather than later. Switching from your rifle, you aimed the handgun towards the corner and held your breath. But there was no sign of those bright eyes and boyish grin coming into view around the corner. 
Where was he?
“Got you,” Dean’s voice in your ear teased a childish squeal out of you as he snuck up on you and got another shot in. Damn it. You were tied. 
Laughing you turned towards him and winked before easily using your smaller size to your advantage, ducking under his arm and rushing around another makeshift barrier. Nearly sliding on the floor from the sharp left turn before turning to walk backwards and waiting for him to hit the slippery patch that almost made you stumble. Gun aimed and finger on the trigger. 
You barely got the shot fired through your loud laughter as Dean came into view around the corner. Stumbling over bowed legs as he fumbled with his gun. The Winchester curse striking again. 
The brothers somehow both always seemed to nearly drop whatever weapon was in their hands at least once. Luckily, this time, you could use it to your advantage as you ducked, dropped and rolled. Getting around the corner with another breathless chuckle at Dean’s curses from around the corner. 
---
Your back and forth point-lead kept changing as Dean copied your earlier tactic; sniping at you from the top of one of the structures you didn’t even know how he climbed. While you tried to hide around corners and fire blindly in his direction. Both of you breathless and hot as the robotic voice signalled the last few minutes had started. 
The final countdown propelled Dean into further action as he jumped nimbly down from his vantage point to chase after you again. Sniping was good for steady points, but not much of a winning tactic with only minutes left to spare.
You had the lead, but only barely and Dean was hot on your heels as you ran around another corner, only to run straight into a dead end. If he caught you in there, he was sure to win the whole game by simply locking you in place and firing blindly around the corner. 
You only had a few seconds to formulate your plan. Which was probably what made you throw caution to the wind as you kept your gun by your side instead of aiming it at where he was sure to show up. Deciding, hell, two birds, one stone, just as Dean came around the corner. 
Eyes shining bright with early victory as he lifted his gun. 
Before he could fire however, you ducked under his aim and pushed him against the wall. Your hand flat against his vest as you pushed yourself up against him. Hating the fact that the rigid plastic of the laser tag vests was keeping you from feeling his body against yours. You knew you should probably take a second to think things through. But, you were acting on adrenaline; the only way you ever managed to muster up the courage to do something absolutely insane. 
Both when it came to hunts and your own non-existent love life. 
So, before Dean could speak up or fix his aim, you let your hand slide against the back of his neck and pulled his head down towards yours. Your lips pushing against his in a quick, breathless and giddy kiss. Barely allowing yourself to linger at the taste of him or let the world fall away around you before you stepped back, just as Dean’s lips became pliable against yours. 
The quick-witted hunter, did however have lightning fast reflexes after years in the business. So, before you could fully slip away from his arms, he’d reached out to pull you against him again, wrapping strong arms around your waist. Pupils blown and lips slightly parted as he let his tongue wet them, tasting you on them. 
The growl that left him was low and deep in his chest, yet from this close you could easily hear it above the music. The animalistic need in it sending shots of heat through your system. He wanted this, he wanted you, and damn it, you wanted to properly savour him as well. To fully let yourself drown in the taste of peppermint and spice that you’d only gotten a small teased hint of.
But that would have to wait until after you won the game and proved you were the better shot. You were nothing if not stubborn after all. 
And so, you only allowed him to pull you back against him for a few short seconds. His lips parting as he groaned against your mouth, all willing and wanting. Teasing a moan from you that he easily swallowed as his hands roamed against your sides, seeming annoyed at the hard plastic that stopped him from tracing your curves. 
An annoyance that only grew when you pulled away again and he pushed his torso forward trying to follow. A greedy mouth looking for yours with a greedy desperation as you raised the handgun and stepped back away with a smirk and a wink. 
Dean’s eyes were so focused on your lips that he barely even seemed to notice the gun until you took proper aim. Green eyes widening, though he made no move to raise his own. Still too stunned and rattled from your surprise kiss.
Letting your teeth grazing against your lower lip; you shot him at point blank range before turning with a laugh and walking away. Your pace unhurried and an extra little swing to your hips from where you felt his eyes roaming your body in jeans you knew for a fact were very flattering. Leaving the big guy dazed against the wall; his own gun forgotten in his hand and the win as good as yours. 
By the way his eyes burned into your body before you slipped around the corner, counting down the last seconds, you already knew how you’d be celebrating your win. Pushed up against a wall somewhere as Dean’s lips explored your neck and mouth properly. Teeth marking your throat and a dangerously low groan trapped in his chest. One big hand circling your wrists and keeping them pushed over your head to stop you from running away again and one big, toned thigh pushed between your legs.
Not that you minded. Hell, that would be way better than any trophy or money you could ever win from your challenge.

Gunshot - KARD M/V Review Rant
youtube
I’m at it again with another so called review, when in reality its just a whole essay on my thoughts of my favorite artist’s comebacks, aka a rant lol. If you haven’t seen Gunshot, GO WATCH IT! I promise it’s amazing and this is one of their best songs/videos/comebacks etc. I have attached the video so no excuses! Also this is a lot of spoilers so don’t read this first it will ruin the shock and awe that is this video. And putting the “keep reading” to contain said spoilers and so ya’ll who don’t wanna read this don’t have to scroll endlessly to reach the end of my rambling.
Hi! Hello! Thank you for continuing reading! Lolol my Taemin 2KIDZ review actually got notes which was surprising, so hope you guys like this. I have a lot to say so here we go...
So first I wanna start on the meaning of the song. On his VLIVE BM said the song is about verbal abuse and how detrimental it can be to your mental health. Considering many pop songs, especially kpop, are all very cheery and upbeat I applaud them for covering such a serious topic in a way that’s not sad and slow. PLUS BM is creating new merch called healers where everything will be donated to an organization that fights against bullying (including homophobia and racism) which is incredible so be sure to check that out when it’s dropped. 
So on that note I wanna get into the song itself. Let’s start with lyrics. The song starts with the words “LOVE damn 4 letters” like what a perfect way to start a song. Also the way they blend a lot more English into this song is something I love as a non-Korean speaker. Plus the parts in English are so powerful? Well so are the Korean lyrics. Like KARD you guys just went hard with this whole song. The chorus is literally “You words are like a gunshot, I’m bleeding love”. Just wow. That definitely describes verbal abuse perfectly, especially coming from those you love because it’s those cruel words from loved ones that hurt the most. I mean “the words you spit out kill me like bullets”, how else is there to describe that pain because it fucking sucks. Other lyrics that just show the words are coming from the one you love: “As long as you love me, the good or the ugly, everything is okay” as well as “I won’t surrender my darling”.  And this relationship is obviously toxic with words like “Selfish I will never be enough even when I pour out all of myself” and “It’s like you control me, without you I’m lonely” and “So far you’ve concealed the true color” and “Without you dying slowly”. And they clearly have had enough with this abuse with lyrics like “Need to drag myself out of there, remove you from my life, take off the tag you” and “They hit me like a gunshot, I’ve bled enough”. 
Now into the sound of the song. It has all the classic KARD elements: it has a powerful sound with the instrumentals, it’s faced paced, it’s something you can dance to, and it has that chorus that slows down then just picks up again. But this song just sounds very different than anything they’ve released before? Not in a bad way, since this is probably one of their best songs. Between the lyrics, the vocals, and the overall sound where the music just doesn’t completely take over like in some of their other songs. Don’t get me wrong I love songs like BOMB BOMB, but it was very loud and a lot happening in the song at once. Which isn’t a bad thing, cuz that’s like the perfect club song. But with this song (and the whole album really) it shows them refining their sound. Also they had a lot more involvement with this song, especially BM who did everything from lyrics to producing which probably has a lot to do with it. The music itself just goes perfectly with the vocals. Just the flow is really nice, and the beat is fun, and them gun shots really just add to it. And can we talk about that breakdown when BM is like “1 shot, 2 shot, 3 shot, 4″? Like what??!! Those sirens and everything just ramps up just before it ends, like yaasssss. 
Now the music video! It starts with Jiwoo zipping up a body bag...which just sets the tone for the video cuz it’s like ok this is how it starts lets see how tf we got here. Then you find out at the end it Jiwoo zipping up the body bag of...well Jiwoo lol like WHAT THE FUCK?! (I’ll get into this here in a sec). Anyway in terms of the video it also has some classic KARD elements like the choreography that’s very intense and dramatic, the bright colors, the flashes and lasers, some crazy stuff happening, and some really cool props and visuals (not just the members lol). Other common stuff is the piles of technology surrounding them, especially J.seph. Like in Red Moon, there’s cameras and old televisions around them. This time the video starts with them being surrounded by cameras and J.seph has a pile of old computer monitors. There may be some meaning with this, but I don’t get it but think it’s an interesting theme. Perhaps its an analogy for them being constantly watched and put on every screen, like showing a darker side of being a celebrity (also will get into this in a minute when I talk about interesting interpretations and theories). 
Also this video gave me suicide squad vibes. Like Jiwoo with them pony tails and the way her makeup was done resembled Harley Quinn. And idk BM gave me Joker vibes (may be due to the coloring of his teeth), BUT he also gave me Harley vibes with the blue and pink coloring of his blonde hair (which is just an amazing look for him). Then BM was just covering everything in black, Jiwoo is just fucking shit up, Somin is ready to cut a bitch, and J.seph is burning shit up as usual (just like BOMB BOMB, so another parallel). Everyone looked good in this video...like they are all such great visuals. Somin looked like a queen as always with the jewelry and everything (they always do that and she looks stunning). Jiwoo pulls of that outfit with those threads everywhere, like that would drive me crazy yet she looks amazing. Blonde BM is truly a look. And J.seph? I think this was the best he’s looked in any video...maybe its the dark hair and clothes paired with those light contacts that just make his eyes stand out. Idk but looks good, all of them! Even with all those slashes to their faces! Also this video is a lot less sexualized, especially with the girls but that’s a whole other topic for another day.
So we know this song is about verbal abuse. I talked about how it could be from someone you love. Obviously the cuts on their faces are caused by the words and pain inflicted on them, until eventually its more than just lashes but a full on gunshot killing them completely. An interesting theory I read is this is a song to their fans, or really people just leaving hate comments. Again you can draw from the cameras and screens how their whole life is recorded, and how they are trying their best pouring their heart and soul into their music when they get all this hate and criticism. So these “shots” hurt the most when it comes from their fans. Also going with this concept, Jiwoo shooting herself could be killing who she is to be who they want her to be. Although there’s so many interpretations, especially to the ending. Like it could be her killing the weaker and darker part of herself (like the part of herself willing to put up with the abuse out of love), so by killing that part of her she is free. BUT, could this “winner” be that dark part of herself killing who she used to be? This could also be killing that pain, but by embracing it and letting it morph you into something darker like a person embracing that evil and using it to make themselves stronger and protect themselves. OR she is causing this pain on herself, it’s her own words are the insecurities and lack of love to herself that is affecting her until she ends up just killing herself (not literally but figuratively). Idk so many ideas and interpretations to the ending alone. Plus we have them all just spreading this darkness and anger (like BM literally painting everything black, which is symbolic into spreading darkness). But ya this video was amazing, the visuals were stunning and the song is just great.
The rest of the album (all 2 songs...hope they release more) was just as incredible. Hold On is a farewell to J.seph who will be enlisting soon, and omg that made me cry. So J.seph you better keep your promise and return soon because we’ll be holding on and waiting for you babe! This song was also really slow (at least for a KARD song) which just shows you they can be diverse in their music. Plus just the contrast of the verses (which are just super powerful) with the chorus (which is very melodic) was great. And with AH EE YAH, like that was so nice to listen to and its a cool mix between old music with that beat it starts with, to newer music especially with the way they rap. So, shows they have a lot of influences and it also shows a different side to KARD. 
Overall I think it’s a great comeback (idk what else they have planned but hoping for some new stuff because I’ve missed them so much). Please go show support and stream Gunshot and listen to the mini album! They are so talented and deserve so much more recognition. They have such hope with this comeback, but yet they still are like “we’re never gonna be number 1″ and that just breaks my heart. So show your support, hopefully they can get a win this year or just something big happen for them because they deserve it!! So that is the end of my rant...back to watching this video for the 100th time we go!!

My Brother’s Keeper: Chapter 7
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Negan x Reader
Summary: Your brother runs away from the Sanctuary and you pay the price. This Chapter: Negan gives you a dress and brings you to The Kingdom to help look for him.
Warnings: Citrus, Nipple Play, Danger, Fear, Negan’s Mouth, Lucille, Wonderment
Featuring: The Kingdom, Richard, Jerry, King Ezekiel and Shiva
Word Count: 2172
Read the rest of the story HERE!
The Kingdom was farther away than you’d expected; the bumpy car ride in Negan’s Charger lulling you to sleep as you rested your head against the sleek leather door. The previous night’s refusal had kept you awake as you did your best to keep your hands to yourself, burying yourself in medical books until the sun finally crept over the horizon. You were exhausted, welcoming this brief moment of rest as you let your eyelids fall to images of trees and abandoned buildings that sped past the car and into your dreams.
“Your brother is gonna lose his SHIT when he sees you in that!” Negan’s voice drew you from slumber, humming a tune as he glanced over at you from the driver’s seat. “I mean, goddamn, I shoulda put you in that thing a long time ago.”
“It’s only temporary, though, right?” You cut him off, pulling the fabric down to your knees.
Negan bit his lip and looked back at the road, sucking in the hot summer air through his teeth as he pondered your question. “Probably,” he smirked, exhaling slowly. “It’s just for show, baby, but if you like it so much I just might let you keep it,” he chuckled, slowing the car down to half speed as he approached a small ghost town.
“I don’t,” you reassured him. “This thing isn’t very functional.”
“Functional?” Negan rose his eyebrows, taking one hand off the wheel before tracing the hem of your collar. “Sure it is.” His fingers sent butterflies into your stomach as they slid underneath the fabric, tickling your skin and rubbing your nipple between his fingertips. “It’s all kinds of functional.” He kept his eyes on the road as he twisted and pulled, sending little bolts of lightning into your chest as your skin played victim to his grasp.
You leaned forward and rubbed your thighs together, providing friction for yourself as you leaned into him. Your heart skipped a beat as he pinched even harder, those bolts of lightning making your moisture more apparent in your short black dress. Maybe he’d put you out of your lustful misery and pull this car over, after all. If only you could just slide your hand over the top of his pants to get him hard...
He laughed and licked his lips, taking his hand out of your dress before slowing the car down to a complete stop. “Nice try baby, but you know the rules.” He winked at you and opened his car door, grasping Lucille by the handle. “We’re going to have a lot of fun with that later, but for now, it’s showtime!”
He walked you up to a group of people who looked like they were ready for the most intense laser tag game of their lives. If you had come across them under any other circumstances you would have greeted them with a smile and a wave, but today you were with Negan. Today you were in a dress. Today you were bait.
“Negan, we weren’t expecting you in person.” A middle-aged man straightened his posture at the sight of him, walking toward you with a machine gun clutched close to his chest. He spoke firmly and without trepidation, keeping his gun pointed at the ground as he got closer. He must be their leader.
“Richie Rich!” Negan bellowed, sauntering toward him. “Don’t get your panties in a twist just yet! Gavin’s still coming for your weekly offering, and I hope for your sake it’s up to par.” He patted the man’s arm. “He’s just a few minutes behind us, but that’s not why I’m here.” He leaned back so far you thought he might fall backward.
“What can we do for you, Negan?” The man’s icy blue irises expanded as he looked at your lover, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints as the grip on his weapon tightened.
“I’m glad you asked, Little Richard!” Negan stood up straight, pulling him in close. “I’m looking for some of my men. Men and women, to be exact, and Good Old Gregory over at Hilltop hasn’t seen them.” He took a breath and pointed at you. “Her brother took himself and two good workers away from the Sanctuary, and you guys are next on my list for where they might be hiding out.” He brought his lips to the man’s ear, his grin barely brushing its cartilage as he smiled into him. “Now, have you or anyone else in this group seen anyone new around these parts?”
Richard turned his head to face him, their lips almost touching. “No, I haven’t.”
“Then you wouldn’t mind escorting me and my little lady friend here through the Kingdom just to make sure, now would you?” He turned and winked at you as he clamped down hard on Richard’s shoulder.
“That’s up to the King.” His voice began to falter, the fear taking over his vocal cords as they vibrated in his throat.
“Well then, take us to the King.” ————————
Richard led you through rows of plentiful gardens, the air fresh with the aroma of lilacs as you passed by leaves of green and juicy fruits. Women and children sat outside freely, learning skills from painting to archery as smiles painted their young and jubilant faces. The Kingdom was made up of bricks and mortar just like the Sanctuary, but something here was drastically different. The air was clearer, the sun shone brighter, the colors more vibrant as you made your way through this Utopian community.
“The king’s not expecting you.” A large Samoan man cautioned, a medieval battle axe in his hands.
“I know, Ben and Jerry, that’s the whole point.” Negan smirked and tilted his head, sizing up the giant man who stood guard to the king’s residence. “It’s kind of a surprise!” He leaned back with his last word, glancing over at you before pointing toward the double doors. “Jerry’s not too bright,” he whispered to you.
“I heard that,” Jerry muttered, turning around and opening the doors. “Come on,” he sighed. Jerry motioned for you to follow him, the metal of his axe reflecting the warm sunlight before disappearing into the cool darkness of what you soon discovered to be a theater.
A rush of cool air hit you, the smell of moth balls and patchouli reaching your nostrils as a few stray hairs fanned away from your forehead. The doors shut loudly behind you, encasing the four of you in the pleasant scent as the very bricks smelled far more pleasant than those of the Sanctuary. Another scent hit you as you stepped down the slanted aisle of the auditorium, bypassing Negan’s cologne that usually took over your senses completely. Was it wet dog, or a barn smell, or….
A thunderous roar echoed against the walls of the theater, answering your unspoken question before you even had time to ask. A tiger. A tiger?! A tiger was in the room! What was a tiger doing in here?!
“Jerry! To what do I owe the pleasure?” A theatrical voice broke your concentration and brought your eyes forward, the bouquet of fragrances taking a backseat to the visual masterpiece in front of you.
Rows and rows of worn-down seats led you to a stage at the opposite end of the room, a medieval backdrop reminding you of your early days in community theater. Judging by the cityscape, it had to have been from an old production of Camelot, complete with a throne and pedestal for it to set on. The man occupying the throne lounged on it nonchalantly, his chestnut skin glowing in the stage light as his dreadlocks cascaded down his shoulders. He smiled unapologetically, his dimples and crow’s feet exuding genuine joy as he looked over at the wild animal at the end of his chain. He was beautiful, in every essence of the word.
“Zeke!” Negan bellowed, his voice drawing a defensive growl from the tiger as it paced in front of its owner.
“Negan of the Sanctuary.” The man’s tone changed from theatrical to worried, his posture straightening in his seat. “I thought we had an agreement inside the Kingdom walls.” He leaned forward and glanced over at you, taking note of the bruises on your neck and wrists as his kind eyes warmed you. Maybe you looked more like your brother than you gave yourself credit for. Maybe Alex was actually here, after all.
“What, you don’t want to bring me home to mom and dad? Let them know you’re in bed with a white guy who takes half your shit?” He paused and looked over at you, grinning wide before looking back up at the King. “I mean, I know we have kind of a... friends with benefits situation going on here, but I’d like to think we’ve always been honest with each other.”
The King sighed, his eyes all but rolling back in his head as Negan continued with his graphic analogy. “We have,” was all he said in return.
“Good, your majesty. See, three of my people ran off in the middle of the night, and Gregory over at Hilltop hasn’t seen hide nor tail of ‘em. Now, you wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would ya?”
You stepped forward without even realizing it, your feet carrying you toward the man whose next few words held your family’s fate along with them. What he said next would determine if your brother lived or died, if your relationship with Negan continued, and if your father and sister had to keep worrying back at the Sanctuary. Had he seen them? Was he hiding them? Did he know anything about them at all? You squinted to watch his face as he answered the most important question of your life.
“If my scouts found travelers, they would have brought them to me for review.” The King told your leader.
Dammit. You’d hoped Alex wouldn’t be here, but a part of you wanted to see his face again.
“I want to believe that, Zeke, I really do.” Negan stepped closer to the stage, gripping Lucille tightly on his shoulder as the tiger began to square up. “You’ve never lied to me, at least I THINK you haven’t, but if for some reason I think you are, well…” He placed his free hand on a walkie talkie you didn’t even know was there. “All I gotta do is give my men the word and we’ll be all up in your shit like white on rice, ransacking this place until we find them.” He paused and unlatched the device from his belt loop, pressing the button to speak. “Dwighty Boy, you in position?” The static scratched over his last word, disappearing as soon as it had appeared.
“Yeah, boss,” Dwight’s nasally voice came over the radio. “You good?”
Negan’s smile brightened the room like a blinding red light. “I’m good.” He paused. “For now.” He nodded as if his lieutenant could see him, keeping his eyes on the King as he lowered the handheld back onto his hip. “I got my best cook, seamstress and strategist out there just walking around as bait for the dead while we sit here and talk. I know you don’t want to change our relationship status, and that makes two of us, but if I…”
“I wish I could help you, Negan,” the King began.
Without letting him finish, Negan grabbed the handle of Lucille with both hands and smashed it down onto the lacquered wood of the stage. “Then help me!”
The tiger roared so loudly it echoed throughout the theater, putting a pressure on your eardrums you’d never felt before. It was deep and loud, shaking the lights above the King as it jiggled the very screws that held them together.
“Shiva!” The King yelled, standing up and pulling the chain back towards him. “Shiva,” he whispered, walking up to the tiger to pet its head.
“I was nice enough to come in here without the rest of my men to follow YOUR rules, now, I didn’t have to do that. The least you could do is work with me.” Negan followed up, stepping away from the jungle cat.
“Your actions are beyond generous, Negan the Red. Feel free to search the premises if it offers you peace of mind. Take what you need for sustenance, but I must ask you to be discrete.” He glanced over at you again. “We have great doctors if she needs medical attention.”
“She doesn’t need shit.” Negan stepped in front of you, blocking the King’s line of vision. “What she needs is her brother back, and I need my people back at the Sanctuary providing for me. If I’m not back before sunset, my people are gonna get real familiar with your people. Now I know you don’t want that to happen.”
“Of course not.” The King took a breath and pondered his options for a split second. “Richard and Jerry will be happy to show you around.”

Bachelor Party
This particular oneshot is dedicated to Cosplaygirl2002 over on fanfiction.net, as she’s been one of my most faithful followers and reviewers for the past 5 years. (Have I really been writing Fablehaven fanfiction for that long!?!?) I hope you enjoy the goofy male bonding time. :) Thank you for your support even after all this time!
*-*-*-*
Dale was no stranger to duty and responsibility.  He worked hard at the preserve day in and day out – Stan may be the caretaker of Fablehaven by contract, but Dale was often the one who held the place together.  He knew everything about how the preserve operated, the ins and outs, and balanced relations between the varying creatures he had been granted stewardship over with expert-level diplomacy.  He was the king of preparedness and organization.
When Warren asked Dale to be his best man, Dale was happy to accept.  He could handle all of the responsibilities associated with that temporary title, and he was honored to take on the role.  Between him and Kendra, Vanessa’s maid of honor, the logistics of the wedding were completely figured out and they were all looking forward to the main event.
So how could he overlook the bachelor party?  Kendra hadn’t forgotten Vanessa’s bachelorette party – she’d dropped a hint to him earlier that day about what they were planning to do that evening. The bachelor party just completely spaced Dale’s mind.  Or had it, really?  
Truth be told, Dale wasn’t a party planner.  He was a solid, reliable task-completer.  Dale liked lists, and he liked to check off the tasks on the lists as they were completed.
But plan a party?
Sure, parties involved lists; but he also had to be the one to come up with all of the items on those lists.
He’d wracked his brain trying to think of an event which Warren would enjoy and Vanessa wouldn’t be angry about, which was also appropriate for Seth to go to (because they were not going to exclude the kid), and which Dale would actually like to participate in – because what was the point of planning a party and attending said party if he wasn’t going to enjoy it?
Unfortunately, it’d left him with a bit of a quandary on his hands.  Dale didn’t plan parties.  He didn’t have any ideas.  And before he knew it, it was the day of the bachelor party.
Dale watched as Warren kissed his soon-to-be bride goodbye before she was shuttled outside by a group of giggling women, not to be seen again until the following day.  He watched as Warren shut the front door and turned toward the group of men in the living room, all of whom shifted their gazes toward him.  Watched as Warren grew a ridiculous grin on his face and rubbed his hands together expectantly.
“What’s the plan?” Warren asked.
Dale looked at everyone else, then pursed his lips and was about to admit that there was no plan when Seth suddenly piped up. “Everyone to the cars. Follow me and Dale!” he shouted. “Grab a coat – you’re all going down!”
Warren smirked and switched from rubbing his hands to clapping them. “Alright!  Let’s get this party started!” He whooped as he ushered their companions into the front of the house and out the door, then followed suit after everyone else.
Dale stood in the entryway, not quite sure what was happening, but he grabbed Seth before the kid could leave the house.
“So…” he began. “Where exactly are we all going?”
“Kendra told me you were stressing out about the party, so I came up with an idea.  Just go with it.” Seth shrugged Dale’s hand off of his arm, then said, “I’ll drive.”
“You only have your learner’s permit.  You’re not driving a car full of people anywhere.”  Dale snatched the keys out of Seth’s grip.
“Killjoy.”
--
“Someone’s coming up on your left,” Trask whispered to Dale.  The two men were crouched low to the ground.  
Dale poked his head up and to the left a bit, but didn’t see anyone.  “Are you sure?” he asked.
“Hmm.  Doubt the guy who has experience with this type of thing. I see how it is.” Trask rolled his eyes.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“I know. I was joking.”
Dale didn’t know that Trask told jokes in the first place.  He looked over to his left again and this time, he spotted Bracken trying to sneak past Dale’s careful guard in order to infiltrate the red base.  Dale acted quickly and pointed his gun at Bracken, but he wasn’t fast enough – his own vest and gun made crashing noises and started flashing.  Trask’s gear followed suit shortly thereafter, and Bracken took advantage of their temporary disability in order to dash into the red base and shoot at the target inside.
“I told you someone was coming up on your left,” Trask stated, standing up from his crouched position.  Dale copied his actions and waited for his gear to stop flashing – the sign which would indicate that he was no longer paralyzed and could resume the hunt (or defense, in his case).
“Who shot us?” Dale asked. “Was it Bracken?”
“I don’t think so,” Trask replied. “But I couldn’t tell.”
“It was Seth,” Bracken told them while fleeing their base, sending them a cheerful wave as he left their presence right as their vests and guns stopped flashing.
Trask opted to chase the unicorn while Dale remained behind to continue guarding the red base.  He hadn’t played laser tag before, but he had to admit he was enjoying himself.  Kudos to the kid for coming up with the idea.  Dale, Trask, Hank and Tanu currently made up the red team while Bracken, Seth, Stan and Warren made up the blue team.  It was a Friday night and they rotated rounds with other people who had also come to play, so they had breaks between sessions.  So far they’d played three games and Bracken and Seth always somehow managed to wind up being teamed together – which simply wasn’t fair because of Bracken’s wicked-fast reflexes and Seth’s ability to disappear in the darkness (sometimes it just looked like there was a random floating vest and laser gun which occasionally lit up the area around it, and that was only when they could actually manage to even spot the boy in the first place).  The two of them were a formidable force to be reckoned with.  They were all pretty good at the game – even Stan and Hank, which kind of surprised everyone – but Seth and Bracken were easily the two most advantageous players.
And Dale had always been on the opposite team as them, which meant that he had yet to taste victory.
He wasn’t bitter. Nope.
A countdown from ten began via the overhead speaker system, signaling that the end of their game was approaching.  With that in mind, Dale decided for once to throw caution to the wind.  He jumped out from his hiding place and sped-walked across the course, intent on finding and shooting at anyone with a blue vest.
There.
He fired straight ahead of him at the blue vest he spotted; the blue vest immediately started making crashing noises and flashed blue and white.  Seth turned toward Dale with a surprised expression on his face.
Seth.  He’d actually shot the un-shootable Seth.
Dale was equally surprised.
So surprised, in fact, that he didn’t even notice his brother sneak up behind him.
With two seconds to go, Warren landed a final hit on Dale.
--
The group met outside in the lobby and reviewed their scorecards.  As expected, Seth and Bracken stole the first two positions with everyone else somewhere behind them.  The two in question gave each other a grin and a high-five before Warren clapped Seth on the back and said, “You must be losing your touch. Dale caught you this round. No offense, bro.”
Dale rolled his eyes. “No, I get it.  I’m one of the worst at this out of everyone else.”
“You’re being too hard on yourself,” Bracken replied. “You haven’t played this game before tonight.”
“Neither have you,” Dale pointed out.  Bracken shrugged apologetically.
“You really haven’t played laser tag before tonight?” The girl behind the counter, Anna, interjected herself into their conversation.  She was maybe 18 at most, and had obviously been trying to get in Bracken’s good graces all evening.  Her efforts had earned her death glares from Seth, who was protective of his sister’s interests, very neutral comments from Bracken himself, and ridiculous amounts of encouragement from Warren, who obviously found the entire situation to be quite funny. “I mean, you’re so good at it, I would’ve thought you’d had a lot of practice in the past.”
Her comment was clearly directed at Bracken.  The unicorn clearly didn’t know how to respond.  Seth glared at her again.
“He’s great at a lot of things,” Warren said, winking at Anna, who blushed and walked back toward the cash register as new customers walked in.
“You shouldn’t egg her on like that,” Dale chided.
“Yes.  Please stop,” Bracken agreed.
“Seriously!  Stop!” Seth exclaimed.
“I’m only teasing. It’s not like we’re ever going to see her again anyway,” Warren defended.
Seth pulled out his phone. “One call to my sister and you’re in trouble,” he warned.
Warren waved it off. “Please.  Kendra would probably think this was funny, too.”
Dale begged to differ. “Actually, I think Kendra would be uncomfortable if she were here.”
“If Kendra were here, I doubt Anna would be trying to make a move in the first place.  Our buddy Bracken sprouts hearts for eyes whenever Kendra’s around.  He’s pretty hung up on her.” Warren placed a firm hand on Bracken’s shoulder.  
The unicorn removed Warren’s hand and leveled a flat look at his friend. “I am not amused.”
“I am,” Warren happily replied. “How much time do we have to kill before Round Four?”
Dale looked at the clock on the wall. “Probably about 20 minutes or so.  The new people will likely get a round before we get our next one.”
“Excellent. Then there’s time to play some of these other games.” Warren took off toward the air hockey table, which was currently occupied by Tanu and Trask.  Hank and Stan were sitting on stools over in the lounge section of the place, observing the other occupants of the establishment while they sipped on some drinks they’d purchased and laughed at shared memories or jokes or whatever they were talking about.
Bracken turned to Seth. “Arcade games?” he asked.
Seth grinned. “Last one there’s a rotten egg,” he called as he dashed toward one of the video games in the center of the room.
With a smile, Dale found a vacant seat and watched his friends and family interact.  Warren really seemed to be enjoying himself. They’d headed out for laser tag after they’d first taken Warren to a burger joint for dinner.  The waitstaff there had made a huge deal out of the fact that they were hosts to a bachelor party; they’d brought out balloons, thrown confetti around, adorned Warren’s head with a makeshift crown, given everyone brownies with ice cream for dessert, and sang “Happy, Happy Wedding” (instead of “Happy, Happy Birthday”) at least twice.  Warren had been in heaven over all of the attention he’d received, and everyone else had had a good time as well.
Seth had really saved his bacon.  There was no way Dale would’ve come up with these ideas on his own, even as simple as they were.
Speaking of the kid… he was glaring at Anna again, who had walked away from behind the front counter in order to actually go and speak to Bracken at the opposite side of the room. Bracken was interacting with her in a friendly manner – Dale doubted that he would ever witness a time when Bracken was anything less than polite – but his body language showed he wasn’t interested in continuing to speak with her.
Warren should’ve just left the situation alone, but no… he’d just had to stir the pot. True, they’d probably never see Anna again, and yes it was kind of funny at first, but now it was getting out of hand.
Time to rescue the unicorn.
Dale walked up to Bracken in time to hear Anna say, “I’ve seriously never seen such high scores on any of these games.  Your friend is right – you’re really good at a lot of things, aren’t you?”
Bracken rubbed the back of his head with one of his hands. “I have pretty good reflexes,” he answered in a tone which suggested that he didn’t want to continue talking about it.
“You’re really cute,” she noted, sending him a flirty smile.
“Hey babe,” Dale said, throwing an arm around Bracken’s shoulders and pulling him in for a close side-hug.  The unicorn stiffened and his eyes widened immensely at the unexpected action.  Dale chuckled a little and shook his head. Bracken should know him better by now.  He was Warren’s brother, after all.  They were definitely different people with completely separate personalities, but they both knew how to don an act. “Showing off again, are you?”
Anna had a look on her face which was reminiscent of a deer in the headlights.  And if Bracken hadn’t really known how to react to Anna earlier, he most definitely did not know how to react to Dale in this exact moment.
“He’s so handsome. Don’t you think so?” Dale continued, then licked his finger and pretended to try and wipe something off of Bracken’s cheek.  The unicorn grimaced and shied away at Dale’s actions. “It’s okay, sweetie. I got the dirt off.  Your skin looks as kissable as always, now.”
“Umm…” Anna’s face was burning red at this point as she was clearly trying to figure out how she’d made such a gross error in judgment. “O-oh, look, there’s… a couple of new people.  I really should go get them checked in,” she stammered.  Before she could turn and run, however, Dale stopped her.
“Hey, Anna, would you be a dear and put the two of us on the same team next time?  I hate going up against this hottie.  He’s so distracting when we’re out there that I just forget about everyone else around me; it’d be easier to have him on the same team.  I might not be such an easy target for everyone else that way, too.”
“S-sure,” she replied before she dashed away, her face still betraying her embarrassment.
Dale chuckled and turned to look at Bracken, who was still staring at him as though he couldn’t process what had just happened. “You’re welcome,” Dale said, removing his arm from around Bracken’s shoulders.  The unicorn remained speechless as Seth and Warren started howling with laughter. Tanu, Hank, Stan and even Trask joined in with laughter of their own in quick succession.
Warren hobbled over to them, doubled over with mirth, and wiped tears out of his eyes as he said between guffaws, “That… That was… 100% worth it.”
“The look on your face!” Seth cried out. “Kendra’s totally gonna hear about this!”
“Best… bachelor party… ever,” Warren wheezed.
Their evening ended after the fourth and final game which, Dale was pleased to note, his team won. Probably because he’d successfully secured Bracken as a teammate, which had just set them all off into raucous chortles yet again.  Poor Anna had appeared to be thoroughly confused by their actions, but she left Bracken alone.
On their way out the door for the night, Dale tossed the car keys to Seth.  When the kid looked up at him with a questioning expression, Dale answered with a simple, “Thank you.”

I, Robot
Disclaimer this review contains spoilers for I, Robot (2004).
“What does this action signify ;)”
Bio
I, Robot is a sci-fi thriller, released in 2004. Set in 2035 the story follows Del Spooner, a detective with a chip on his shoulder as he investigates the death of scientist and founder of USR, Alfred Lanning.
Acting
Will Smith (who plays Del Spooner) clearly gave this his all and it’s one of his better performances. It doesn’t matter if he’s delivering one liners (which there are plenty) or giving an emotional performance because Smith hits the right notes. Similar can be said for his co-star Alan Tudyk (who played Sonny). Unfortunately, Bridget Moynaha (who played Susan Calvin) performance fell a bit flat but does improve through the course of the film. While I didn’t have an issue with any of the other actors’ performances, I was disappointed with the lack of time spent with these characters. This became frustrating as I was curious to get to know these characters but the film never got further than outlining their relationship with the protagonist and demonstrating how Spooner was alone in his distrust of robots.   
Writing
For the most part I didn’t have an issue with the writing. The characters all had clear opinions and felt unique. Smith is given a lot of jokes to work with and I found these to be genuinely funny. That being said the writing wasn’t perfect. As mentioned above the side characters were severely underdeveloped and to a lesser extent so were the lead roles. An example is that Lanning (portrayed by James Cromwell) hints that his relationship with Spooner isn’t normal, yet we never find out why. We know he worked on Spooner’s prosthetic arm but it felt as if there was more history between them that wasn’t explored. There were also some inconsistencies such as Spooner being afraid of heights near the end of the movie, but leaning over the edge where Lanning had been killed at the beginning of the movie. The later scene would have been more consistent and tense if Spooner had displayed how uncomfortable he was in the beginning of the film when he was in Lanning’s office.
Story
At its heart I, Robot is a crime story in a futuristic setting and for the most part it’s done well. I liked that Sonny was originally portrayed as an antagonist. I thought it was convincing due to his introduction and the chase that followed. I also really enjoyed how the story was told, seeing Spooner investigate Lanning’s death never felt like a chore. This was of course due to how fast pace it was, which was at times to its detriment. Certain elements could have been explored more. But the positive was that the film never stagnated and remained engaging. The villain’s motive was nothing new or ground breaking. I personally liked that V.I.K.I’s goal wasn’t to end mankind, but was a misguided attempting to protect humanity as a collective. My biggest complaint in regards to the story was the lack of themes explored and the lost potential. For example, V.I.K.I (portrayed by Fiona Hogan) claimed that humanity was destructive and was set on its own extinction. Yet we see no evidence of this in the film, in fact the lack of world building is such a shame because the movie would have really benefited from it. We see many examples of how society trusts robots and I really do like how they’re implemented into the world. But we never go beyond that, leaving the world feeling two dimensional. The other issue I had was Lanning’s overall plan relying too much on chance. He essentially kills himself with the assistance of Sonny and expects Spooner to figure everything out. I also didn’t understand why he had to die as at the time of death the NS-5’s weren’t connected to V.I.K.I. Meaning there wasn’t much threat of being attacked. The film tries to suggest no one would believe him, but even if that was the case (which I don’t know why they wouldn’t as he’s a well-respected expert in that field) he could have just gone rogue and killed V.I.K.I himself, sure he’d be sued and lost lots of money but he’d be alive. The final issue I had with the story was the lack of consequence, by the end of the movie the only characters to have died (excluding Lanning) were the villain (V.I.K.I) and the antagonist who we had been lead to root against until the climax of the film.
Cinematography 
In regards to cinematography I, Robot takes inspiration from The Matrix. This is defiantly one of the films strengths. Seeing Smith wield a giant futuristic machine gun, tearing apart robots. While the camera moves around the interior of a sky scrapper, showing not just how outnumbered the hero is but also how easy it would be to fall was disorientating in the best kind of way. Fortunately, there are many moments like this that do a really good job at creating tension and setting the right mood. There are some truly epic action sequences that kept me on the edge of my seat. The director (Alex Proyas) proves he’s capable at pulling off more than action scenes. With flashbacks, tense chases and even a montage, all of which I’m happy to say still hold up.
Visuals
The visuals for I, Robot are a real mix, the NS-5’s and other robots have aged surprisingly well. Obviously if the movie was released today, I’d expect them to look better than they did, but fifteen years later I’m defiantly not complaining about their appearance and similar can be said about the vehicles. This being said, there is a very heavy reliance on CGI and it shows. Not only does some of the CGI not hold up (exterior of USR building) but the arguably over reliance meant that places that weren’t CGI looked out of place as these scenes didn’t match some of the other scenes and as a viewer this constant switch between CGI and none CGI became jarring. Costumes like the soldiers and S.W.A.T police also looked really cheap and un-tough, resembling something closer to a laser tag outfit.
Audio
Sound design was really good. Marco Beltrami has added so much emotional depth with his music, it doesn’t overstay its welcome and is one of the highlights of the film as it’s cleverly used to create tension. The guns and cars sound believable, with no real negatives to speak of. The audio was clear and impactful with certain moments being very satisfying to hear, such as Sonny using a wire to ping himself to save Calvin.
Misc
I had an issue with how Calvin was treated. When Spooner is first introduced to her, he laughs at her and doesn’t take her seriously. While you could interpret this as Spooner being arrogant and it being an area that we’ll see him grow away from, I wasn’t convinced. This is because near the end of the movie Farber (portrayed by Shia LaBeouf) openly sexualise Calvin in front of her and the only part that Spooner objects to is the use of the word “shit”. This to me comes off as the leading female role being objectified and really didn’t need to be included, it makes for uncomfortable viewing and took away from the experience.
While I, Robot is the name, product placement is the game. I personally didn’t mind this too much and found it humorous. However, the Audi logo sticking out from Spooner’s headrest just seems kind of uncomfortable, but that’s just my opinion.
Verdict
To conclude I rate this film 4/10. I, Robot is a very enjoyable film that’s funny, action packed and is well paced. I had a blast watching this and there really is a lot of fun to have with this film. However, I was really disappointed in the character development and lack of world building and as enjoyable as this movie is, it doesn’t take full advantage of its setting or explore the themes in a meaningful enough way. The reason I, Robot isn’t spoken about as much as other films from 2004 or earlier isn’t because the visuals don’t 100% hold up, it’s because it doesn’t make you think. Sci-fi is a genre where you can explore the impossible, get lost in complex socio-political structures that as alien as they are reflect our own reality. And go beyond the questions of what a soul is. But unfortunately, I, Robot doesn’t do that, instead the film plays it safe with underdeveloped character in a 2D world. The movie has other issues too like some mild sexism (compared to other movies), plot holes, some pretty awful costume designs and CGI, an in-consequential ending and some minor issues like the occasional bit of inconsistent dialog or some bad acting. 
Recommendation 
Would I recommend this film? That depends what you’re interested in. If you want a fast pace action movie in a sci-fi setting, then yeah you won’t be disappointed. But if you yearn for a film that makes you question if humanity is going too far creating artificial intelligent and whether or not robots/AI should be entitled to the same rights humans are or other similar question. Then I’m afraid no, I cannot recommend this.

Godzilla review
               Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a fantastically fun film which brings the creatures to life in a majestic and epic way and gives them the screen time they deserve.   The whole thing is tied together with a pretty flimsy plot that depends a lot on the stupidity of the human characters, but none of it detracts from the sheer fun of watching the Titans wreak havoc.  Sure, I couldn’t remember anyone’s name nor did I care much but that didn’t stop the audience from cheering in the right spots and having a good time.  NOTE- SPOILERS AHEAD- READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
               Things start with Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Madison, and her family.  She’s currently living with her mom, who works for Monarch, an organization tasked with monitoring and taking care of all the giant monsters that have popped up since Godzilla woke back up in the first film.  Dad used to work for Monarch too, but after they lost their son in the ending smackdown of the 2014 movie, he said “eff this” and left to do something slightly less dangerous such as study wolves and drink heavily.  Mom decided to stick it out and stay with Monarch not let her son’s death be in vain by studying these creatures.  Mom’s kinda stupid however, as there is suddenly a disturbance in the creature she’s currently studying, and first thing she does is bring Madison with her to check it out.  After losing one child to a giant monster, having your other tag along to investigate a giant monster just makes sense.  
               Well, turns out Mothra’s hatching from her egg, and its just the time to prove Mom’s new invention works.  See, Monarch is kind of stupid too, as the first thing they do upon awakening a giant Worm is throw it in a laser cage, and when their laser cage starts breaking on its own, start shocking the crap out of said worm.  Mothra, to her credit, dispatches all her attackers nonlethally, thus cementing her as a “good” monster in the audience’s eyes.  But Mom (can’t think of her name) whips out what she calls the Orca, a machine that can match frequencies with Titans and calm them, control them, what ever the plot needs asking for.  The Orca works but no sooner do we get a docile Mothra to bond with when the entire Mothra lab is gunned down by terrorists, who promptly kidnap Madison and Mom.  
               Cut to Monarch trying to defend itself in front of the UN.   They’re demanding, not unreasonably, why they’re not finding and getting rid of the things that can level cities.  Ken Watanabe makes the case that these are animals that deserve to live, that we need to co-exist with the gigantic Titans, that Monarch is doing a fine job of monitoring and containing them and excuse me I have a phone call.  Right in the middle of claiming they’re not incompetent Monarch receives the call that dozens are dead, they lost control of the giant worm and had the invaluable talk to monsters device stolen.  With the Orca gone, Watanabe (I could look up his character name but honestly it doesn’t matter) and crew look up Dad (Likewise, I can’t remember his name either).  Not only will he have an interest in getting his daughter and ex wife back to safety, but he worked on the Orca with Mom when it was a prototype and thus is the only other person who can track it.  While the humans do human things, Godzilla speaks for the audience and gets on with it. He veers off his usual territory and makes a beeline for Antarctica, where Monarch has been holding the biggest and baddest Titan on ice; Monster Zero.  Godzilla, like the audience, put two and two together and realizes that the bad guys are clearly going to use the Orca to control the Titans and are going after public enemy number one.  The big G isn’t going stand the presence of another alpha and heads out to put his house in order, the audience is along for the ride, and the human characters are doing whatever they’re doing to catch up.
               Sure enough, Monarch’s stupidity is on full display as the terrorists completely sweep the base where Monster Zero is sleeping, kill everyone, and start plans for the thaw.  Dad and crew arrive shortly after, which leads to a big confrontation between Monarch and the terrorists.  Going on his own, Dad finds Mom and Madison, but instead of coming with them, they….bah bah baaaaaaaaaah stay with the terrorists!!!   See, Mom is even Stupider than previously indicated and is on board with the plan to kill dozens of her coworkers and letting the three headed dragon roast the planet.  Madison, I can forgive, because she’s supposedly a kid and trying to look out for her moronic mother.  But Stupidmom doesn’t even hesitate to push the button let Mr. Zero, who we know as King Ghidorah, out of the ice cage before even SHE has an opportunity to get off the premises.  Ghidorah awakens, and again the movie shines.  He looks amazing, wonderfully realized in a blend of modern, animalistic queues and his classic Toho design.  Between the tongue flicks, the tail rattle, and the coiled necks, there are a lot of snake details that really breathe realism into the giant hydra.  Hell, each of his heads even has their own personality.  It’s clear a lot of love went into the real starts of this movie.  Godzilla arrives and the first epic smack down begins.  For the moment, all the dumb humans and their drama is forgotten, and we get what we came for.  Awesomely choreographed action between two behemoths that needs to be seen on the big screen.  
The first round ends with Ghidorah beating cheeks, leaving Godzilla in hot pursuit and mad as hell because he can’t fly.  While the humans again struggle to keep up with the characters we actually  care about, Stupidmom calls in to warn her surviving coworkers and reveal the depth of her crazy. She even had a little slideshow prepared about how we humans are basically scum, and the best thing to heal the planet is letting giant monsters do whatever they want with it.   You see, everywhere the monsters go, after they’re done stepping on and razing thousands of innocents, life finds a way, or some such nonsense.  I for one understand the point they’re trying to make, and honestly they’re not wrong about human kind and what we’re doing to the planet, but the idea that Stupidmom is selling goes beyond that.  She’s telling us the Titans are like natural disasters, but, A-They’re Apex Predators that they’re waking up ON PURPOSE with the Orca, not letting naturally awakening, and B- They’re assuming all of these Titans are going to have the same effect of healing the Earth and not just, you know, using it to beat each other to hell.  That’s not even counting the thousands of innocent deaths.   Sufficiently showing how batshit she is, Stupidmom signs off, and then proceeds to release Rodan because why not add another.  Dad and Monarch desperately try to get the town the base of Rodan’s volcano evacuated (I might have done that BEFORE the giant Pteranodon awoke but that’s just me) but soon the big bird himself awakens and proceeds to wreak havoc.  Our heroes decide to try and lead Rodan away from the town and straight into King Ghiodrah, who’s been booking it towards the volcano looking for another alpha to fight that wasn’t Godzilla.   Their plan works (for once) and while Ghidorah takes out Rodan, Godzilla catches up and the two begin to duke it out again.  At the point, the military has had enough of Monarch’s shit and has been developing an anti-Titan weapon, which at they’ve already launched at Godzilla and Ghidorah, barely giving Dad and crew time to get the hell out of there. The weapon goes off, but only seemingly kills Godzilla.  Ghidorah gets away and is now unchallenged, so far as even making Rodan his little titan sidekick.  
So Godzilla is presumed dead, and Ghidorah is crowned new king and is broadcasting his cry to all other Titans around the globe, causing them to awaken and go berserk.  You see, it turns out King Ghidorah is actually not a Titan FROM EARTH, but he’s actually from outer space, so Stupidmom’s whole reasoning for the plan is turned upside down because he can’t heal the Earth if he’s not FROM the Earth! Madison finally had enough and starts looking for a way to use the Orca to stop the chaos.  I could go on nitpicking the plot to humorous effect, but I’m going to stop here to at least leave SOME surprise.  Needless to say, it all leads to a multiple monster smackdown that again, must be seen on the big screen.  The plot starts to drag after Godzilla “dies” (come on, no one really believes it even in the movie) because the humans are left to their own devices for a bit.  However once the true king awakens the action picks up again and the pure fun of a monster movie plays out in front of us.  
I’ve been ripping the movie apart, but honestly none of it detracts from how enjoyable it is.  A lot of talk is going around about how thin the plot is, and don’t get me wrong it is, but that’s not what I’m here for.  I’m here to watch Godzilla fight, and have fun, and that’s what the movie delivers. It’s almost like a modern B movie, something that’s cheesy and campy but serviceable as a monster delivery system. Its an event, and one that the audience totally got swept up in, wanting less of Stupidmom’s crusade and more of the monsters and their world.  While it drags at a few times, this is a great popcorn flick that anyone will enjoy as long as they know what they’re getting into.    I highly recommend it.

Rockman.EXE Episode 42 Review.
Tumblr media
I spy Navis from the N-1 such as Blues, Elecman, Bombman, Whaleman and Shiningman. I also see some viruses, one of the robot operators that nearly killed Netto and Commander Beef, and Shadowman and Cutman? How do these people know about them?!
Tumblr media
And that’s the Gospel truth...
We open the episode at some noodle shop where Madoi talks about how she is bored with her life, and Coloredman tells her how she used to shine back when the WWW was still active. Madoi then gets a bowl of noodles that she didn’t order.
Tumblr media
I wonder who that could be?
Madoi’s mystery order comes with a little note with the seal of Gospel asking her to join them. The mysterious customer then reveals himself to her.
Tumblr media
I think Madoi just slapped him after he said that. Can’t have a Madoi episode without someone making fun of her makeup.
After the title card, we see Madoi in her new secretary outfit at Maha ichiban where she breaks the news to the other Ex-WWW members that she is gonna quit to go work for Gospel.
Tumblr media
Count Elec and Hinouken don’t like this and yell at Madoi calling her a traitor and such. Mahajarama on the other hand, is cool with Madoi leaving and gives her farewell gift.
Tumblr media
Friendship? What would bad guys know about friendship? We know they all stick around together because they have nothing better to do.
Madoi takes the gift and runs out of the shop causing a car crash into it and destroying Mahajarama’s life size statue.
Tumblr media
AHHHHH! Mahajarama has eyes!
We then cut to a family retaurant where Netto is in a “secret” meeting with the Net Agents, where he makes a scene after the news they tell him about Gospel.
Tumblr media
“Hello, police? There are three terrible cosplayers and a kid talking about the Net mafia out loud at a family restaurant”
They are telling him about a Gospel leader hosting a secret meeting in Japan. Since the cover up for the meeting is a costume party for rich people, the Commader wants Netto to ask Yaito to help them get in, right before this second waitress complements his costume.
Tumblr media
This girl has obviously never seen the N-1 Grand Prix.
Anyway, the Commander insists in having Netto talk to Yaito about the party, but that is no longer necessary since Yaito, along with Dekao and Meiru, overheard their conversation.
Tumblr media
After this we cut to Madoi enjoying her new job at Gospel resting by the pool, when Gauss appears and asks her to follow him into a skipped scene from the dub. Brace yourself.
Tumblr media
The correct question here is, who would buy a toilet with Wily’s face on it?!
Yes, Gauss reveals that he is a super Wily otaku or fan girl, whatever you want to call him. He even shows her a talking life size statue of Wily in a little scene that was kept in the dub.
Tumblr media
I would be more impress if you had him saying: “The fact that you keep losing to Rockman is exactly why I’m mad!” (Actual quote from episode 9)
One of the reasons Gauss decided to hire Madoi is that she could share with him her memories of Dr. Wily, reminding us that either Wily is dead or just M.I.A.
Back at the Curry shop, Hinouken and Count Elec are still mad/sad about Madoi leaving them.
Tumblr media
Is this an opening for a Count Elec and Madoi shipping? I guess nearly falling to your deaths together in a cold mountain range while hand gliding makes you developt feelings.
That night, we see the cover up party at a mansion by the sea, with Gauss as the host. We see people dressed up as Navis and viruses among other things, but the best costumes are the ones Netto and his friends are wearing.
Tumblr media
*Okay, if you’re confused about Netto’s name, scroll down to the end of this review to see the full story behind their group costume. BTW, Miyuki and Saloma are the horse.
Netto and Dekao inmediately start embarrasing Meiru by eating like the animals they are.
Tumblr media
 Yaito doesn’t help either because she starts blinding people with her forehead for some reason.
Tumblr media
Yes, in fact, this scene was so pointless that it was skipped in the dub.
It is now time for the Net Agents to start their investigation, with style.
Tumblr media
If I know my costumes, that must’ve hurt Saloma a lot.
The Net Agents sneak around Gauss’s mansion and come across a hallway with a laser security system, they need to disable the lasers from the cyberworld, and Netto, who suddenly appears next to them, volunteers.
Tumblr media
We get a different design for the plug-in animation as Netto sends Rockman into the security system. The Guard Navis attack, but Rockman is so bad ass that he doesn’t need any chips to knock them all out.
Tumblr media
Either that or they’re just really weak.
Netto complaines to them about being left behind, and since Commander Beef knows well that he won’t get rid of Netto that easily, he allows him to tag along.
Tumblr media
Son Netto, master in the art of convincing!
We then cut to Madoi reminding Gauss about the secret meeting and they both leave the party. During their walk, Gauss tells Madoi that Gospel is nothing like the World Three, hinting that something really bad is about to happend.
Tumblr media
Let me get this straight. You’re a fan of wily, but you’re not a fan of the World Three, the organization he created in order to terrorized people, the thing that made everyone realized that he is evil, THE VERY THING THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS IN THE FIRST PLACE!
The Net Agents along with their Navis disable every security system they find as they move on. Before commercials though, Gauss reveals that the Net Agents are heading for a trap. So much for the surprise.
They finally arrive at the meeting room filled with a bunch of covered up guys who look a lot like the disguises used by Bombman and Stoneman’s fake operators from the N-1.
Tumblr media
What kind of guns are those? Laser guns? I’m getting ahead of myself, but in Axess we see characters using real guns, so this now seems kinda childish.
Gauss appears before them with madoi wearing masks, because apparently Higure never told Netto that his investor from episode 34 was Gauss Magnets. XP
Gauss reveals to them that the meeting was a trap for the Net Agents and the members take off their disguises, turns out they were all robots, and I am not surprised.
Tumblr media
They ARE laser guns! If they were human, then what were they planning to do?Taze them or threaten to cook them alive?
Saloma and Miyuki shoot at the robots with their space era guns, and even Netto tries join in the action by attacking some of the robots.
Tumblr media
You are not the monkey king and you are not Rockman either! That would be until Axess. X(
The Commander saves him and Netto then challenges Gauss to a Net Battle because that’s how you defeat the villains in the Battle Network universe.
Tumblr media
That... That didn’t work? Am I finally watching a competent shonen anime? O-O
Gauss tells them that his plan was to kill the Net Agents, and luckily for him, they brought Netto so he can kill him too. The room begins to flood, and Madoi apparently has standards because hearing Gauss wanting to kill Netto makes her uncomfortable and talks to him about it after they exit the room.
Tumblr media
“Directly” is the key word here. World Three were actually cowards who liked to injured people indirectly by making their Navis set homes on fire, try to crash a train full of people and nearly polluting the water of an entire city. What are you trying to say here, Madoi?
As the room keeps filling up with water, the commander gets a cramp and Rockman tells Netto that there must be a computer from where he can stop the water, and Netto remembers that he saw a jack-in port like two minutes ago with a flashback.
Tumblr media
In cased you missed that the first time.
Netto dives and plugs in Rockman underwater because everything is water proof in this world. Gauss discovers this and decides to change his waredrobe to fight Rockman.
Tumblr media
I’m starting to think Wily fan girl is the best description for him right now.
Rockman is attacked by Magnetman, Netto tries to send him battle chips to fight, but he is having trouble holding his breath under water.
Tumblr media
Magnetman keeps attacking Rockman as Netto swims back to the surface where Commander Beef still has a cramp for another breath of air, but its so deep that he can’t hold his breath long enough to focus on the battle. 
We then see Madoi talking to the life size statue of Wily about how it feels wrong to be working for Gospel, but then she remembers the gift Mahajarama gave her.
Tumblr media
Magnetman summons his twin and gets ready for the N-S tackle to finish off Rockman. The two spheres head towards Rockman until they are intercepted by Coloredman’s ball that also breaks a giant faucet that apparently was the program flooding the room and the dreinage system is activated somehow.
Tumblr media
Madoi tells Gauss that she is gonna quit Gospel because it is trash compared to the World Three, why? Because, according to her, the World Three... had... Love?.
Tumblr media
See? Even Coloredman doesn’t understand her nonsense!
The Magnetmen attack Coloredman again and Rockman protects him with a barrier. Right after that, the Net agents and Netto suddenly appear in the organ room where Gauss and Madoi are, and I like how Netto called Gauss cross dresser. XD
Netto tells Gauss it’s payback time and activates the Elec Brother Style. Unsurprisingly by now, Madoi knows about the Elec Brother’s ability and passes an extension chip to Netto so he can download Coloredman’s data into Rockman. And if you’re a football/soccer fan you’ll like this little scene.
Tumblr media
GOOOOOOOOL!!!!
Rockman finishes Magnetman with his Terra Volt and Gauss whines about it like a girl before escaping on his weird flying machine he activates in front of everyone.
Tumblr media
At least this time we don’t get to see the whole room remodeling and airship building scene.
Netto thanks Madoi for helping them, Madoi says she only did it for herself and then gives Netto the curry coupon before leaving.
And we end the episode with the Ex-WWW discovering a life size Wily statue in front of their restaurant with Madoi eating curry inside, just happy with being where she is.
Tumblr media
My thoughts?
This was a Madoi episode so we get to learn more about her character. I don’t blame Madoi for wanting to do something better with her life, she knows that she has no future working at a curry restaurant in a sad attemp of reviving World Three. You already know that I am not a fan of these guys, but I was actually happy for her since she showed some real character development.
Another thing that I like about Madoi in this episode is that she is not really a bad person, she doesn’t like to be directly involve with hurting people and she saw the World Three as her family. Maybe she came from a broken home, maybe her real family sucks and she found comfort in joining the WWW. Sure, they did bad things, but Madoi never did what she did with evil intentions, she did it so Wily would praise her for her efforts and get a laugh out of the misfortune of others, could it be a daddy issue or something?
The animation was okay, the story too, and I’m glad they cut that scene with Gauss’s Wily collection because it was just too weird and it compleately makes Dr. Wily, the main villain of the classic Megaman/Rockman series, look like a joke.
*Now, let me explain about Netto’s group costume in case you didn’t get it, this will be long.
First, It may be confusing to hear the name Son Goku because the first thing that comes to mind is the Dragon Ball series. Well, let me tell you that Dragon Ball was loosely based on the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West” with the famous Monkey king as one of the main characters. Goku was actually based on the monkey king, hence the monkey tail he had, his growing staff, the flying cloud, and because of his name. In China, the Monkey king’s name was Sun Wo Kung, but in Japan he is knowen as Son Goku, I dont know if this is a different name or it’s just how they pronounce it Japan.
Second, if you are familiar with the original story of Journey to the west, you’ll notice that Yaito and Meiru’s costumes are out of place. Since they called themselves the “Saiyuki” group I imagine that it had to do do with cultural differences since Saiyuki is how Journey to the west is knowen in Japan.
After doing some research I came to the conclution that perhaps this is a reference to a video game that came out in 2001 named “Saiyuki: Journey west”, since it features a female version of Sanzo, the monk and main character of the story.
Tumblr media
I believe that was Meiru’s character, and Yaito was crossplaying as Sha wujing because it was suppoused to be a bald demon.
Netto, Dekao and Yaito were the three demon disciples of Meiru’s character, Saloma and Miyuki were the dragon that shapeshifts into a horse(long story), and the Commander was one of the many enemies that the group would encounter on their journey. 
That’s my theory, but I still dont know why would there be a reference to this game if it wasn’t developt by Capcom? Either Capcom helped with the release of this game somehow, or the anime was just making fun of their competion.

“Black Panther” Review
Tumblr media
Isn’t it weird to live in a world where the most culturally significant film of the year is a comic book movie with CGI war rhinos? Maybe it’s just my inner contrarian talking, but I can’t help but be baffled at not so much the financial success (the Marvel/Disney juggernaut has shown no sign of slowing down), but rather the critical praise and awards that have been bestowed upon this film. I’m not naïve; I know that this praise stems mainly from the film’s inclusivity (I hesitate to use the word “diversity” since the cast is all black save for a couple of white dudes) and for being the first film of this size to have a mostly-black cast and be directed by a black director. Quality-wise, on the other hand, “Black Panther” strikes me as just slightly above average for Marvel, and all the more disappointing considering all the talent involved.
The story is initially about T’Challa/Black Panther, the newly crowned king and protector of the isolated and highly technologically-advanced African country of Wakanda, who struggles with the duties of being king while also hunting for arms dealer Ulysses Klaue, who robbed his country of some of their precious metal vibranium, killing lots of his people in the process. Eventually the plot morphs into a power struggle for the throne by T’Challa’s long-estranged cousin Erik/Killmonger, who has become bitter and angry over their country’s isolationism and refusal to help the oppressed peoples of the world, along with his own personal connection to T’Challa’s father.
The plot is nicely focused without having too many villains, and isn’t encumbered with lots of pointless action scenes. What action there is, however, is too reliant on CGI and not enough on genuine excitement or imagination, and feel like a massive step down from director Ryan Coogler’s excellent fight scenes in “Creed”. The finale in particular is pretty lame, with some spaceships shooting each other in the sky while a bunch of extras fight in a field, and Black Panther and Evil Black Panther fight on a murky train track, and it all looks like a PS2 cutscene if the PS2 had an axe lodged in it. Even the one-on-one duels during the challenges to the throne suffer from the shaky-cam/fast-editing cancer combo, missing even a nice dose of brutality to the kicks and punches. If anything feels like Marvel’s formulaic nature stifling a talented filmmaker, it’s the action in “Black Panther”.
Speaking of which, for all of this film’s wonderful costumes and artistic design, the film feels like it’s not showing nearly enough of Wakanda. We get a few flyovers of the main city and one street where people walk happily along, but most of the time in Wakanda is either in fields or a lab where Black Panther’s Q (and sister) makes gadgets and patches people up for him. So much hype is made about the wonderment of Wakanda, but visually we really don’t see much that’s interesting in it. The sequence in Seoul where it briefly becomes a Black Bond film (the best part of the movie) is also the best looking part because of Seoul’s naturally pretty nighttime aesthetic. It’s really only in the dream sequences where characters speak to their fathers in some ancestral plane where the film finds its own visual groove (love that purple), but this only happens a couple of times in the movie. And while there’s some creative camerawork at play, the colors mostly feel the usual muted way they do in Marvel’s films, the film desperately needing some vibrant stylization and color (ironically).
The story shows flashes of ambition and works better than the action or the visuals. Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger has considerably more depth than the typical one-dimensional Marvel villain, his anger stemming from the real world injustice that his people have faced for centuries, and wants Wakanda to take global power and help the oppressed of the world. This stuff feels so real that the film almost seems scared to embrace him, so of course they have to counteract his valid points by making him a murderous psychopath who executes people who don’t fall in line with him, and who wants to spread laser-guns around the world and start World War 3 (I guess I shouldn’t expect too much for a character named Killmonger). The film makes the occasional stab at political awareness, but never quite commits to it, which just makes the ending speech about opening borders feel so frying-pan-to-the-head blunt that it could have been written by Spike Lee. Speaking of villains, Andy Serkis is very entertaining as the arms dealer Klaue, bringing so much swagger in every scene he’s in that the impish fun he’s having is infectious, so it's unfortunate that the movie gets rid of him so early, even if it’s understandable why.
The rest of the characters are a mixed bag.  While the king's sister/gadget scientist is a bit annoying at times (the "WHAT ARE THOOOSE?" line made my skin crawl), she's played with enough enthusiasm and comic timing that she works. I really like the character of Okoye, the king's bodyguard/general, because she has an interesting moral conflict in the film as her unwavering loyalty to the throne clashes with her personal beliefs and convictions (the film would have probably been better if it was about her). I even like Martin Freeman as the film's tag-along CIA agent (and token white guy), and the bit players all have their moment to shine. The main problem with the cast is actually T'Challa himself. It's refreshing that he's not the same smarmy, quippy white dude that all the other heroes are, but while they got rid of that trait, the writers forgot to replace it with anything else. How can you describe his personality? Noble? Boring? The character has a good conflict set up for him, a new king thrust upon the throne by tragedy and struggling to determine Wakanda's future, but he just has no charisma in this film, something desperately needed if Chadwick Boseman (who is generally a good actor) is to carry his own franchise.
Ultimately, "Black Panther" works as another solid Marvel film, the safety net of Marvel's lack of ambition being slightly elevated by a good cast, the Seoul scenes, the villains, and Ludwig Göransson's kick-ass score. But ultimately, the few reaches that "Black Panther" makes for greatness only serve to highlight how cookie-cutter the rest of the film feels. Other than its brief flirtations with interesting subject matter and the refreshing sight of an action blockbuster’s cast having an average melanin level greater than 1%, it’s still more typical MCU, filled with lame humor, a dull and muted color palette, and the same ol’ large, cluttered 3rd-act battle filled with embarrassingly bad CGI. Wakanda Whatever.
