#Choking mention

[puhpandas]

the worst thing about movie Vanessa is that she was terrified to rebel because of real and violent consequences and when she finally did her fears came to life. she was choked. she was talked down to. she was stabbed. she was hurt. and she was terrified through it all

she came back when it mattered most and saved abby and Mike but it put herself on the line. it wasnt just fear. it was a real possibilty. she knew what would happen. she knew how big of a chance there was that it would. and she still came back and paid the price for it because there were people she truly cared about in danger

I doubt she had anything like that before. I'm sure Afton had her so trapped under his thumb that she was never able to get close to anybody. she was never ever to make choices for herself. she probably is a cop to cover for him. shes probably never had a friend who survived long enough to trust. she makes me very upset and that halo imagery with her is so real

Tastes of Whumptober: Day 11

I had an absolute blast with this prompt and I've been looking forward to it for a while. I should've gone and bought some wine so I could write being IDed from experience though. Unrealistic writing 😮😮😮

Convenience Store

Each item was set neatly on the conveyor belt.

A roll of duct tape. Kleenex. Air freshener. Trash bags. Zipties. Rubbing alcohol. Superglue. A bottle of merlot. Disinfectant. Sponges. Latex gloves. A wrist brace. Ibuprofen. A hammer. And a bar of chocolate.

A bright beep sounded as the cashier scanned each one.

“Doing some home improvement?” They smiled, placing the superglue onto the other side of the conveyor where one of their customers, the shorter of the two, was busy bagging with their head down. The other stacked the empty shopping basket with the others and pulled out their wallet.

“Definitely an improvement project,” they nodded back with a knowing look. “The whole thing just needs to be demolished and rebuilt at this point.”

“Oh I hear you. A pipe burst in my basement just last month and my spouse had to stop me from tearing the whole thing down then and there.” The cashier scanned the wine and paused. “Your ID please, Mx.?”

They flashed it with a toothy grin. 

“I’m flattered!”

“Just doing my job. Thank you.” They typed something into the system and picked up the next item. A few items later, a snort broke their calm demeanor.

“Hm?”

“Oh my goodness, I’m sorry Mx! Just had a funny thought.” The cashier scanned the hammer. 

“Do share! Lord knows we could use the humor.” They elbowed their partner who smiled meekly and nodded along, balancing with a crutch under their arm. 

“Well, sometimes home improvement supplies look a lot like premeditated murder supplies,” they giggled, and the taller one broke out into raucous laughter. The shorter just shook their head. “Sorry, I meant no offense.”

Realizing they were being addressed, they fixed the sullen expression across their face.

“Ah, none taken! I’ve just had a tough day, what with this shithead and all.” A playful poke to their partner who just laughed again.

“You’re in for it when we get home!” They stuck out their tongue.

The other went back to catch the items they’d missed in that time, slipping the chocolate bar in their pocket. 

“Alright, cash or card?”

“Card please.”

“Your receipt?” 

“Sure, why not.”

“Perfect. Have a good one!” 

“You too!”

The taller one took most of the bags, but the other still managed to carry one. They were almost out the door when a voice shouted out.

“Oh! Excuse me, I think you forgot one of your items!” The cashier held up the hammer, and the couple turned around. Neither came forward to claim it, but with a nudge and a whisper, the shorter allowed the cashier to drop it into their bag. “Can’t do any demolition without that, can you?” 

“Absolutely not, I’m glad we didn’t forget it!” The other didn’t say a word, struggling to lift the bag now, and then the two were gone. 

.

“Interesting what you choose to forget, darling.” A hissing whisper in their ear, so different from the friendly persona they put on in public.

“I don’t… I don’t know what you’re implying,” they averted their eyes as the trunk of the car opened. Fuck. 

Their captor’s foot landed on their broken ankle and they had to suppress a scream.

“I let you have one good leg for today. Don’t let me regret it.” The bag was taken right out of their hand. “In.”

They crutched up to the passenger door but a clearing of the throat stopped them.

“Childlock doesn’t work on that seat.”

Somehow, climbing into the back was more humiliating after that comment. The door was slammed shut before they could do so themself, and they felt the car shake with how hard the trunk was slammed. A horrible indicator of what was to come.

“I behaved around the store,” they grumbled when the doors locked and the engine turned on. 

“And then you fuckin’ ruined it.” 

“Black and white thinking much…” 

A fist flew against the passenger headrest and they were suddenly grateful to be flinching in the backseat.

“I’m buying a car with blacked out windows. That way, next time, I can throttle you in the backseat.”

It’s funny how, in Blue Lock pairs, the normal one is often the guy who we tend to assume is the insane one…

BachiSagi? Bachira seems insane, but his deal really is that he just wants friends. Turned out to be the most normal Bluelocker.

KaiNess? Ness comes off as extreme, but at least he doesn’t get himself a tattoo, dye his hair blue, and choke himself all for the sake of an impossible ideal

[powderflower]

does hangman know that swerve went around carrying the chain he choked him out with for a good couple of weeks?

[cannebady]

Okay the love letter scene is so fucking sweet and properly romantic but also I am trash and just think for a second about Ed's hands being strong enough to choke someone out one-handed while gently holding Stede's love letter in the other.

[therighthandofvengeance]

Talia: do you ever have one of those days where no matter what, you just feel ugly?

Ivanova: Why would that happen to you? Your neck still looks just as choke-able as the last time I saw you.

"It was horrible. I could've died... and no one would care. Which is why I'm glad to be alive, as much as I'd love to make my bullies die of eating and choking on it."

Do you think there’s love between Daemon and Rhaenyra? I keep seeing people saying Daemon is incapable of experiencing emotions but I’m not really sure that’s true lol

... What evidence is there to suggest Daemon is incapable of experiencing emotions? Lmao? He seems to experience extremely strong emotions that he doesn't express well, and when he does express them it's often in a way that we think of as very typically masculine (by which I mean shouting and hitting stuff). It's not subtle.

Case in point: what immediately follows after this GIF.

This is not a cool brooding sociopath man, this is a man who runs incredibly hot at least 85% of the time. To believe otherwise is to read a lot of his anger as a product of ambition instead of hurt, and to do that you have to take Otto Hightower at his word when he says "The gods have yet to make a man who lacks the patience for absolute power." (And you shouldn't take Otto at his word when he says that, because he's talking about a different second son: himself.)

Anyway, I touched a little bit on the question of whether Daemon loves Rhaenyra in this other meta. Approaching it from a different direction, we're meant to take from his behavior in episode 8 that he loves her very much, but we are meant to take from his behavior in episode 10 that love doesn't blunt Daemon's sharp edges or render him safe. I'm not only talking about the choking scene, but about the way he immediately shifts into attack dog mode and therefore ignores what emotional needs or actual desires his wife may have.

But—just to head some questions off at the pass–although I say "love" I don't mean it's a modern-day romantic ideal: we're starting with the foundation of an incestuous marriage, after all! Still, even before they marry it's easy to see that Daemon adores her, that he likes to spend time with her, and that he desires her. He holds some kind of regard or respect for her which prevented him from deflowering her in that brothel, more than just her being into it. And all of those ingredients add up to something.

Daemon's family is the star around which his planet orbits, providing the gravity that dictates his behavior. Initially the biggest and brightest of these stars was Viserys, and now it's Rhaenyra. She is the center of his universe. Someday that star will go supernova and become a black hole which will devour them both, but if that's not some kind of love, destructive and all-consuming, then, I guess, what is?

Edit: I spent so much time talking about Daemon because of the question about his emotions that I forgot to add that Rhaenyra loves him too, as family and an ally and a lover all at once. Okay bye.

I forgot to share the insane exchange I had with my mother during dinner last night:

Mum's sitting there eating her salad, and starts to choke on a piece of lettuce. I panic, ready to do something, when she clears it up herself and waves me away.

"Please don't scare me like that," I quip, trying to make light of the situation. "The Heimlich is the one thing they didn't teach me in First Aid."

My beloved mother, with all the dry humour I've come to inherit, replies with a grin. "It's okay. I would have talked you through it."

Schezo imo is the type of guy to he say many stupid thing but ocasionally says genuinely terrifying things like how he is going to mutilate you in pieces

I bet he even waxes poetic about it when he's alone like a nerd. It's a shame that no one will ever take him seriously.

trying something a little different to get out of my writer's block. this made me giggle despite my school burnout, so enjoy this is not edited lmao Content warnings: MAJOR LESSON 16 SPOILERS, language, death mention, choking mention, nsf/w language and imagery (kinda??)

AITA for killing the foreign exchange student?

Okay, I know it sounds bad, but I hope you'll read the whole story before making a decision. I'll provide some backstory.

Myself (6000M), six of my brothers (6000+M), and one of my sisters (5000F) got in a really big fight with the rest of our family a while ago. Long story short, my sister used her position to help out her long-distance boyfriend. The whole thing eventually ended with us all getting kicked out, and my sister passing away. It was a really hard time for all of us. 

Through some weird coincidence, we ended up being helped out by the son of our new school's principal (or something-- either way, he's a nepotism baby). We'll call him D. This is important for later.

Along the way, I realized that my sister's boyfriend and his family were the reason this all happened. They really didn’t deserve her and took advantage of her kindness. If she hadn't met them, she wouldn't have been put in a bad position and would therefore still be alive.

Fast forward a few years, and my oldest brother (let's call him L) has started kissing the ass of our principal's son. It's fucking annoying how much he sucks up to him. I honestly think they're dating but that's neither here nor there.

D suddenly announces that the school's doing a foreign exchange, and they're bringing in two members of the family that oh, you know, got my sister killed. Even though I’m well within my right to be upset, L is too busy sucking D's dick to care, and he fucking locks me in the attic. For months.

So the exchange student (we'll call them MC) comes, and starts living in our house like nothing even happened. 

Here’s where it gets dicey, but I’ll try to explain as best I can.

MC eventually finds me in the attic, and I convince them to let me out. I’m finally able to avenge my sister, so I choke MC a little. Big deal. They die and my brothers are super upset, as if I wasn’t doing them a favor?? They’re all mad at me, and then it comes out that MC was actually my sister’s love child from before she died, so now they’re extra mad at me. I don’t know what to do. I know murder is kind of frowned upon but they’ve all done it too, so they have no room to judge. Imo they’re all being pretty ungrateful.

So, that’s the story. Tell me, Reddit, am I the asshole?

i am going to kill jun oda with my bare hands

Me wanting to write more scenes where Viggo and Stoick interact. Considering the one scene we got was when Stoick stormed into the tent and lifted Viggo out of the chair by the neck and nearly strangled him to death.
