Synopsis: One day, while Dave and Todd are out, they pass by a park void of screaming kids. Instead, the park is taken up by a group of what looks to be a mix of teenagers and young adults. Passing by the loud group, the boys can't help but stare, mixing Dave up with a girl more socially unacceptable than him.

Warnings(?): Adult Language, Sexual Themes (No Smut, Just Horny Boy Thoughts), Catcalling (Potentially Triggering Language)

This is written in third person but mainly narrated from Dave's view.

》》》

"I can't believe they had it!" Todd exclaims, gripping the plastic bag in his hand tight. Dave nods, gripping his backpack straps.

"Yeah, we need to start coming here more often. They have everything. We gotta bring Marty with us when he gets back."

Today marked the first day of the boys' last Spring Break. Marty was out of town on a trip to Florida with his family, so this cut down the trio to a duo, Dave and Todd. The two were currently walking along a street on the other side of town than their usual hangout. Todd found a new comic and video game store, and he and Dave figured they'd check it out.

"I can't wait to read it."

"Remember, no spoilers until I pick up my edition too." Dave replied. As they round a corner to get to their bus stop, they are greeted with the sight of a large clearing between buildings.

On the closest side to the boys was a skate park. It had a decent amount of skaters occupying it, echoes of skateboards landing against concrete traveling throughout the park. As the boys walked passed, they could hear the sound of music. The further they walk, the closer the music gets.

The current song that was playing was what Dave imagined rugged bikers with dark sunglasses and handlebar mustaches listened to. Scary and intimidating. It was muddy and grungy and punk and metal? He wasn't well versed enough to really know how to label its genre. Just as one song came to an end, another just like it followed.

He and Todd were both staring at the group surrounding the picnic table that held the speaker. Each one was different from the next, but they all had a similar dark and grungy style.

Something that immediately caught his eye was a black haired girl who took two big steps to get atop the picnic table. As the new song began to pick up, she got into a matching character. As she winded her hips and lip sang to the lyrics, Dave was completely entranced by her. "Woah..."

"Yeah…" Todd absently replies.

Her unnaturally dark hair cascaded down her shoulders and around the curve of her breasts. Her bangs reminded Dave of a toddler who decided to experiment with scissors. They were far too short to be considered "normal", but, Jesus, did she pull them off well.

She had two bows on the sides of her head, one purple and the other an off-white cream color. She wore a black, short sleeve crop top with red writing on it, something Dave couldn't really read clearly from this distance. She had knitted, fingerless gloves on each hand that nearly blended in with her skin tone. Dave's eyes continued to work their way down her legs, finding her thighs covered with light pink, sheer lace shorts that stopped mid thigh. The only thing keeping her "appropriate" were homemade, cut-off jean short shorts.

Dave couldn't help himself; he was captivated. He's never seen anyone dressed like she was, at least not in real life. It was like she stepped right out of an anime. She was incredibly unique. How was she able to pull that off so well?

Dave's eyes wandered down further to get a full view of her exposed, dancing legs. He couldn't help but wonder what it felt like to touch them.

She swiveled her hips in circles as she began to spin and whip her hair to the beat. Dave had this opportunity to move his eyes up, getting a perfect view of her butt, his body lighting up as his heart raced.

She had made a full turn, stopping in the direction of the two boys, catching their stares. Todd immediately turns his head to try and seem captivated by the clouds above, but Dave is not as quick to notice.

"Dave." Todd mumbles, eyes dodging the girl's gaze, darting back and forth from his friend, the ground, and a very (not-so) interesting brick building behind the park. "Dave." Todd repeats, elbowing Dave in the side, finally snapping him out of his hypnosis.

"Ouch!" Dave yelps in surprise, turning to Todd who is looking at him wide eyed, trying to send him a message. Dave looks away from his friend and back to the table dancer. She was staring right at him with squinted eyes. They seem to make eye contact for a solid second before she abruptly lifts a hand to her forehead. She held up her pointer and pinky fingers. The 'rock and roll' symbol she held against her head imitated horns as scrunched her nose, sticking her tongue out like a child. The action shocked Dave, but he couldn't help but find her oddly adorable.

Todd is quick to snatch the handle at the top of Dave's backpack and drag him away to their bus stop at the end of the street. The ride home was a pretty quiet one after that.

》》》

Two weeks have passed since he'd first seen the strange girl. Every spare chance he got during spring break was spent taking advantage of his vigilante skills for the wrong reasons. He had secretly visited that park numerous times, watching his girl and her friend group from afar. He knew that stalking was not how he should've gone about this, but he also didn't see walking straight up to her and introducing himself as an option either.

Something was definitely wrong with him. There is no good reason for him to know where she lives, but he convinced himself it was just to ensure she got home safe. Tonight only enforced that thought.

Usually she would walk home with at least one friend for good measure, but for some unknown reason to Dave, she walked alone.

Today, she had on an extra baggy hoodie. One that he came to know as one of her favorites. It reached the tops of her bare thighs, the hem of her mini skirt just visible below. She wore leg warmers that matched the color of her hoodie and worn combat boots. She had a small backpack that looked like wings on her back, decked out in pins of all kinds. The oversized hood was perched on top of her head.

She was always good about checking her surroundings and looking over her shoulder when walking alone, but this wasn't a matter of a sneak attack.

Dave watched as an older man stepped out in front of his strange girl. Dave couldn't hear the exact dialog due to their distance and the passing people and cars, but he for sure knew that whatever was being said was not welcomed.

"No. Thank you. I'd rather be left alone." Dave heard that loud and clear, so why did this creepy guy not take the hint and leave?

The man abruptly reached for her arm, and gripped it tight. Dave took off in a sprint.

"Get your hands off me, asshole!"

"Don't be a fucking tease-"

"Hey!" Dave cut the guy off, running up behind her. "Didn't you hear what she said, creep? Let her go!" He said firmly. Both the creepy guy and the girl's eyes look over to Dave, both of them giving him a once over. Her eyes were full of confusion, one thinly drawn brow raised. The man scoffed at the kid.

"What the fuck is this?" he shoots back. Dave squares his shoulders and raises his masked chin. "How about you mind your fucking business, princess, before you get hurt." the man follows up, making fun of Dave's costume.

"Let. Her. Go." Dave repeats sternly. The guy laughs in his face.

"Or what, leotard?" Dave follows up by removing the batons from behind his back. He points one at the man.

"Or else I'll have to beat you until you let go?" He says confidently. The girl cringes, that was not nearly as intimidating as he thought it was. The guy laughs again, flicking out a pocket knife. The two men stood there in a stare down. Their pause gave the girl a chance to yank her arm from the man's grasp, simultaneously using her other hand to whip out a pink taser decorated like a mini Gameboy. She shoves the sparked end into the side of the creep's neck, causing him to twitch and spasm. She holds it there until the man falls to the ground twitching, presumably unconscious. She takes her booted foot and jumps into a hard kick to the man's side.

"Fuck you, dipass!" Dave stands there shocked. The girl's gaze switches to face him. He lifts his hands in surrender and slowly puts his batons back. The girl takes one big step closer to Dave. He jumps back, but she is quick to grab one of his hands and begin dragging him down the route of towards her apartment.

They walk a couple blocks and round a corner in silence before she stops abruptly and turns to Dave. He stands there staring, absolutely shell shocked. "Who are you and what do you think you're doing!?" She asks, putting two hands on her hips and resting her weight on one side.

"Uh-" Dave stutters. The girl raises her brows expectantly. "I, uh- I was trying to help you." The girl's brows draw together as she squints.

"Thank you, but, to be honest, you didn't really do much, and that only answered one of my questions."

"Uh, I'm, uh- The name's KickAss." The girl stares at him in disbelief for a good five seconds, searching his eyes for any sense of a joke.

When she doesn't find anything, she lets out a "pfft" and giggles. "You're joking, right?" She raises her brows with a grin.

"Uh, no. I'm not…" Dave's eyes look everywhere but at her.

"I-," giggle, "I'm sorry." Another giggle, " I don't mean to be rude, but KickAss?" Dave smiles nervously, instinctual reaching for the back of his head. "You really need a rebranding, my guy." She says, an amused smile still playing on her lips. Her eyes didn't hold any malice or judgement, just intrigue.

"Yeah, well, I'm obviously not that creative." He laughs nervously. Dave looks back to her, finally getting a proper look at her up close. She's smiling… at him. God, he was going to faint.

"Jesus, your eyes." She says suddenly, catching Dave off guard. "They're gorgeous, my god." She huffs a short laugh, staring into his eyes. Dave can't keep eye contact for long, completely flustered. He thanked the powers that be that he had a mask on at this very moment. He was sure he was as red as ever.

"Thank you." He looks down. "You, uh, your eyes are beautiful, too." He says sheepishly. She laughs, shaking her head.

"Oh, please. They're just a normal, old brown. Nothing compared to your stunners. Wow." She throws back at him. "Well, I appreciate you stepping in, KickAss." She thanks, putting emphasis on his 'name'.

"No problem. You seem to have it handled without me." His illusion of 'stalking for protection' ruined.

"Nonsense! Thankfully, I didn't need you to start a fight this time. The fact that you even stepped in at all when you saw something means a lot, so thank you." She clasps her hands in front of her, swaying side to side.

"Can I walk you the rest of the way?" He asks. She shakes her head.

"As sweet as that is, no, thank you. I don't quite know how I feel about masked men knowing where I live." She teases. "Plus, it's not much further. I'll be okay." She smiles at him, again. Dave can't decide if he wishes she'd stop looking at him or if he wishes she'd keep her gaze on him forever. She begins walking away, "Thanks, again! See you around!" She shouts behind her, turning another corner.

》》》

Two months have passed. Shortly after their first, up close, encounter, Dave made it a point to walk her home every chance he got, always when she was alone. Well, not every time. She started to get suspicious as to how he always knew when she was walking alone. "Are you following me?" She'd ask, Dave giving an unconvincing 'pfft' and a 'no', causing her to roll her eyes. After that, he made sure to space out their walks but still following her from a distance. It's now nearing the end of June, and his graduation date is only a couple weeks out.

This night was a first. She invited Dave in. His eyes widened in shock, "Yeah, sure!" He said a little too enthusiastically, internally cringing at himself, but his awkwardness only caused her to giggle.

She nods, "Okay. My brother is home, so you'll have to sneak in. I'll go in first. Just turn the corner," she points, "and use the fire escape ladder to get to the fourth window up. My window has a collection of ninja turtle action figures on the sill." Dave opens his mouth to say something, but she continues, "Wait there until I come in. I just have to let my brother know I'm home first, then I can disappear into my room." Dave sits his mouth and nods. "Okay, I'll see you up there!" She smiles, jogging into the building.

Dave watches her jog up the stairs until he can't see her anymore. He then makes his way around the building and, as instructed, climbs up the fire escape. He gets to her window with ease. Through the parted curtains, he could see into her dark room. The light in the hallway provided little to illuminate the room from the bottom of the closed door, but thanks to the setting sun, Dave could clearly see the four little trinkets on her windowsill. It made him smile. She was a little nerdy, too.

"Ok, I'll order the pizza!" Before Dave could analyze her room any further, she bursts through the door, tossing her bag on the floor. She turns, closing and locking the door before running up to the window. She throws the curtains open and slides up the window, smiling brightly at him. "Hola."

"Buenas Noches, señorita." Dave says, again cringing at his choice of words, getting a laugh out of her.

"Vamos." She says, stepping aside. He climbs through the window, trying his best to avoid disrupting the figures. "You up for pizza?" She asks once he's fully inside.

Dave nods, looking around at her room. "Yeah, sure."

She smiles up at him, gesturing to her room, "Bienvenido a mi casa." She says dramatically. "Make yourself at home, señor KickAss."

Dave chuckles at her, shaking his head. "Gracias." His accent is still strongly American, but four years of Spanish didn't make it the worst. He goes to sit on the plush bench at the end of her bed. He figured that was a safe bet. He wasn't on her bed, but he also wasn't awkwardly sitting at her desk in the corner of the room. It was a kind of middle ground. His eyes follow her as she goes over to her old school boombox, graffitied with stickers, and turns on some music, low enough for them to hear each other, but just loud enough to disguise their voices from any eavesdropping. "Do I need to worry about your brother?" He asks playfully, deep down a little nervous.

"No, he's playing video games with our cousins online. He can't hear a thing with his-"

"AHHH! NO MAMES WEY!" a scream can be heard, as if on queue, scaring the fuck out of Dave.

She rolls her eyes, continuing, "headphones on." She sits on her bed, crawling over to rest her bare legs on the empty cushion next to Dave. She grabs her laptop that was laying on the bed and opens it up. "What kind of pizza do you like?" She asks, typing away.

"Uh, whatever." He says, unsure.

"Well, guess we can't go wrong with half pepperoni and half cheese." She says, placing the order. "My brother is pretty boring when it comes to pizza." Another scream could be heard in the background, promoting another eyeroll. Dave chuckles a little, nodding.

He twiddles his thumbs before asking, "So, why did you invite me in?" The girl shrugs her shoulders, still typing and clicking away.

"I dunno. You've walked me home nearly everyday for the passed 2 months, and I've grown to trust you. Every time we part ways, I feel the urge to keep you around. I figured it was about time we hung out for more than just a few blocks." She closes her laptop hallway and sets it to the side. His heart flutters.

Dave looks at her stunned. "You want to hang out with me?" The girl squints at him.

"Um, yeeaaah. What kind of question is that?"

"I, uh- I mean- it's just- you know-..." He stutters. She giggles at him.

"What?"

"I mean, you're just so cool, and I'm, you know-"

She looks at him amused. "You're what? A cool vigilante guy who is sweet and funny and someone who should totally should give himself more credit." She bends her legs, nudging him softly with her knee. She scoots down the bed a little to sit closer to Dave, holding her knees to her chest. She uses her oversized sweatshirt to encompass her entire body. Dave looks at her with admiration, his heart racing again, before looking away from her and down at the bench below him. "I don't hear a 'Gracias' or a 'Tienes razón, mi hermosa. Eres muy inteligente y eres la mujer más bella del mundo. Gracias por todo, mi amor.'" She goes on.

Dave laughs, "Thank you. I don't know if you're right, but you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." Dave says boldly but still avoiding eye contact, looking down at his hands.

The girl's eyes widen, "You speak Spanish?" She looks horrified, embarrassed by the words of praise she tried to get him to say.

"A little." He twiddles his thumbs more, "I've been taking Spanish all throughout high school. I am no expert, but I can get around." He shrugs.

"Welp, that's embarrassing." the girl reaches up to tug hard on the strings of her hoodie, hiding her face in the fabric. Dave looks up and reaches for her hands.

"Que? No 'gracias'?" He teases, trying to get a look at her face. He has no clue what is coming over him, but he is becoming a bit more comfortable. His heart is still pounding, but seeing her get flustered brought his confidence up. She peers out from inside her hoodie. Her wide eyed look nearly floored him. He was forever grateful that he was already seated or else his knees would have buckled.

"Gracias,... señor KickAss." She says playfully, trying to make up for her embarrassment by joking off. He offers her a soft smile, melting her. It was now her turn to avoid his eyes. Her eyes make their way over to the stereo. "So… you're still in high school?" She asks, looking back to him, wearily.

He nods, "Y-Yeah, but not for long." He says quickly, the realization coming quick that they don't actually know each other's ages. "I graduate in like 2 weeks." Her nonexistent brows raise as she nods. "Are you?"

She shakes her head, "No, I tested out, got my diploma early. I couldn't be bothered with high school anymore." She shrugged. Dave's brows shot up. She really was smart. "It's just me and my brother. The earlier I got out of high school, the more time I had. It allowed me to help out with bills and whatever, get us a nicer place." She gestures to the room around her. "I mean, it may not seem like much, but trust me when I say it's a million times better than where we were." She then takes the time to look around and appreciate her surroundings.

Dave's look of admiration returns. "You're amazing." He blurts out. The girl's eyes find him, holding his eye contact, again with this wide eyed stare. She was gonna kill him. Her heart stopped when she looked in his eyes and found nothing but honesty and softness. She gives him a little smile. My god, Dave was literally going to pass out.

》》》

Dave didn't seem to notice, but hours went by with them talking, eating pizza, and talking some more. It was now pitch black outside, and the only light in the room was coming from her bedside lamps and a flickering candle.

By now, both of them had made their way into the bed. Dave was laying on his back, watching the ceiling while she was laying on her stomach perched up on her elbow, watching him. They were currently both comfortably silent, the soft music still playing in the background. She guessed that her brother must have fallen asleep at his console by now, considering there weren't any more frustrating cries or exciting cheers heard from across the apartment. Dave is the first to interrupt the silence between them. "Would it be a terrible idea to take my mask off right now?"

The girl gasps dramatically, placing a hand on her chest, "and reveal your secret identity, Zorro?" She lets out a short laugh, this causes Dave to let out a tired smile.

"I'm being serious." There's a pause.

"Well…" the girl starts, "you know, once you do so, there's no going back. I'm not so much of a bitch that I'd ever expose you, but you know… it's a big step."

"Is it in the right direction?" he asks, turning his head to look over at her. They stare deeply into each other's eyes.

She sighs, "I'm sorry, babe, but that's a decision you'll have to make on your own." The pet name catches Dave off guard. He nods and sits up, causing the girl next to him to follow suit, twisting her body so she's cross crossed and facing him. Dave takes a deep breath and reaches for the back of his mask. Just as his gloved hands meet the fabric, he felt a smaller hand touch his. "Are you sure?... Absolutely positive?"

He doesn't move, "Positive." He replies. She lefts go of his hand and he pulls the mask forward and off his head. He kept his head down for a second, taking in a deep breath. He could feel her eyes staring at the side of his head.

He looks up and turns to her. They make eye contact for a good 3 second before her sleeve covered hands come flying up to her face, covering her eyes. "Oh my god!"

"Oh my god, what?!" Dave panics.

"You're hot!" She exclaims. Wow, did she really know how to throw Dave off. He watches her, shocked. "This feels wrong, oh my god!" She says, muffled by her sleeves. "I should not be seeing this right now." Dave smiles a little. How does she do this? She's just too cute.

He reaches up for her hands, "Well, like you said, there's no going back, babe." He says, pulling her hands down. Her eyes were squeezed shut, scrunching up her face in what Dave thought was the most adorable way. "Oh, don't be a baby. Open your eyes." He says. She squeezes them even harder just before opening them up, like ripping off a bandaid.

She lets out a sigh as her eyes roam over every feature. She takes a moment to just admire his face before giggling when her eyes make their way to his hair. "What?" Dave asked, this time not panicked, but amused.

She giggles some more, smiling wide. "Your hair is a mess." She says finally, biting her smile.

He rolls his eyes, "Yeah, I don't really do face reveals, so I didn't bother thinking of a way to properly tie my hair up under the mask."

She smiles at him softly, her eyes relaxed. She reaches up to touch his cheek. It's warm and a little sweaty from being stuck under a mask for the last several hours. They get lost in each other's eyes. Dave's jaw was slack, lips parted slightly. Her features still held her soft smile.

"I think I love you." Dave says abruptly, taking her aback.

"What?-"

"I just always feel so safe and comfortable around you, and I love how you're so unapologetically yourself, and you are always so kind and beautiful, and I can't help but find myself always thinking about you, and I'm always wondering if you're thinking about me to, which I hope you do, because I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't on your mind the way you're on mine, and ever since I saw you dancing on that picnic table when Todd and I were walking to the bus stop and you made that weird adorable little devil horn face thing, I knew I just had to know you, like I was drawn to you, and-"

"Wait, that was you?"

Dave ignores get question and continues rambling, "and I know we're just kids, but I can't think of a better way to live life than with you, and I want us to be together. I want to go to see your favorite scary movies with you, even though it confuses me as to why you still go to them when you say they always scar you, and I want to hold your hand and be there for you when you're scared. I want to go see those bands you always talk about in concert with you. I want to learn every lyric to every one of your favorite songs just to impress you when they come on. I want to hold you at night when you've had a bad day and don't know what to do with yourself. I want to keep you safe and always make sure you're happy. I want to be the reason you smile. I want to walk with you forever, stay by your side. I want to fall asleep beside you every night and wake up to you every morning, and I want nothing more than to hear you say you love me and tell me you love me the same way I love you, and I-"

"Dave, shut up!" She says with a smile, her eyes glistening. "Breathe." They both take a deep breath together. "If you keep going, you'll turn blue." They share a small laugh. "Can I kiss you?" She asks.

Without responding, Dave dives forward and kisses her full force. They deepen the kiss, her other hand reaching up to caress his other cheek, his hands resting on the bed, one on each side of her knees.

Without breaking the kiss, Dave moves to readjust. He pulls her closer, moving her to sit in his lap. She follows his lead, getting up to straddle him. Dave wraps his arms around her waist, hugging her closer to him. She arches her back, "accidentally" grinding against him. Dave is first to break the kiss with a gasp, his hands immediately making their way to her hips. She opens her eyes to find Dave's squeezed shut with his eyebrows narrowed together. His blue eyes open to meet hers after a second, both of them breathing heavily, Dave's eyes wide and innocent, looking up at her.

"Sorry." He says, embarrassed that she was able to affect him so easily. She grins, shaking her head.

"Don't be sorry. It's good to know I have such an effect on you." She leans down to rest her forehead on his. She squishes his check together, pushing him down to the bed, his hands finding themselves caressing her now exposed butt from under the mini skirt she still wore. He felt all the blood drain from his head downward. "Should we keep going?" She asks. Dave nods furiously, no longer able to form words.

She leans in slowly to plant a soft kiss on his lips. "I love you, too."

The Best Friends Deserve Bester

Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta have been teaming together as The Best Friends since August 2013. In January 2014, they won PWG's Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament, becoming number one contenders to the PWG World Tag Team Championship. They lost their subsequent challenge against The Young Bucks at Mystery Vortex II. The only other time Chuck and Trent have competed for those titles was at 2019's Hand of Doom where they lost to The Rascalz. What that means is that out of seven teams who won the PWG DDT4 between 2007 and 2015, The Best Friends are the only ones to have never held the PWG World Tag Team Championship.

Alright, well maybe they had better luck in NJPW. Trent's a four-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion with Rocky Romero. If Roppongi Vice can succeed, then I'm sure The Best Friends can... come fourth in the B Block in the 2017 World Tag League and finish eighth overall in the 2018 League.

No, that make sense. Best Friends as a team have always been predominantly American based. What about their ROH run in 2017? I know they had a few title matches there.

Loss vs. The Young Bucks in ROH World Tag Team Championship tornado three way match at Best in the World 2017 (also featured War Machine)

Loss vs. Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks in ROH Six Man Tag Team Championship match at Global Wars 2017 Day 3 (teamed with Flip Gordon)

Loss vs. Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks in ROH Six Man Tag Team Championship match on ROH Wrestling Episode #326 (teamed with Rocky Romero)

Loss vs. Motor City Machine Guns in ROH World Tag Team Championship match at Final Battle 2017

Ok, enough messing around. Let's get into the AEW run. Orange Cassidy has done a great job as International Champion. Kris Statlander is enjoying a good reign as TBS Champion. How have Chuck and Trent done?

Win vs. SCU and Private Party at Fyter Fest 2019 to advance to All Out for an opportunity at a first round bye in the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament (good start)

Loss vs. Dark Order at All Out 2019 (who needs a first round bye anyway?)

Loss vs. SCU in first round of AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament (ah, that bye would have been handy)

Obviously there's been more matches in between the ones I highlighted. The Best Friends have had some good moments here and there but overall, it feels like there's been missed opportunities. No follow up after the initial Parking Lot Brawl. No Trios Championship run. Lost in the shuffle again following All In.

The Best Friends deserve bester.

'Evenin', folks...Mr. Baggins back with a set to soothe your achin' nerves, this one featuring some of my favorite classic jazz recordings. I'd like to start tonight off with some tracks that Duke Ellington laid down in April of 1953 with Wendell Marshall on bass (plus his trademark vocalizations) and Butch Ballard on drums. These sessions were nothing short of magic. Duke's "Piano Reflactions" of 1953.

Jumping ahead five years to 1958, here is the debut album by Miss Nina Simone, Little Girl Blue, on Bethlehem Records. This is tha record that introduced me to Nina Simone, also in a trio setting, with piano, bass and drums, and it has remained my favorite, through all these many years. Forty five minutes of true classic jazz. Enjoy.

From 1956, one of Billie Holiday's best performances of her signature interpretations of My Man, and from 1958, Don't Explain.

Here's a young Dexter Gordon with an album of ballads, the second of which is his version of Billie's "Don't Explain"

In the late '50s Dave Brubeck and his legendary quartet were experimenting with time signatures, and the results of their experimentation became the album "Time Out", which gave us one of the most famous songs of classic jazz, "Take Five". Here are Dave Brubeck on piano, saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright and drummer Joe Morello.

And to round out this evening, I thought I would include (in their entirety) the four albums that Ella Fitgerald and guitarist Joe Pass made for Pablo Records. What is there to say...two legends being legendary together. Enjoy.

Mr. Baggins signing off for the night...I'll be back with you for Morning Coffee Music at 8am Pacific.

Until then, dream sweet dreams, babies, dream sweet dreams.

Baggins out.

a headcanon with dave and reader where they accidentally meet maybe in a cafe?idk, they End up in a relationship and then reader finds out dave is marrried, she gets upset, she end things and then dave ends it with his wife to be with reader😭😭😭 im so delu about that man

Dave York x f!reader

A/N: I gotta be honest anon, Dave is slowly becoming my biggest addiction because he is so perfect and I love him sooo much 😭😭😭

• it was just another trio back home after another excruciating mission Dave York was assigned and paid very well to take another man's life

• in the beginning, he was always eager to go home and see his family, after all, they were the reason why he did all of that, so he could have enough money to provide them

• he loved his beautiful girls to death, they were the most important thing in the world for him, but he simply couldn't stand Carol anymore

• he didn't know exactly when their relationship started to fall apart, but it was likely when she began nagging him about every single thing, complaining about his business trips, about having to take care of the kids, driving them around all the time and the fact that Dave didn't earn much money according to her, even if she had a huge house, two brand new cars in the garage and stupid expensive clothes

• she was just so ungrateful he couldn't stand being around her anymore

• just as she couldn't stand being around him either

• and that was when they decided to get divorced

• they were technically separated, still living under the same roof while the official paperwork wasn't ready, besides, the kids weren't aware of it, still too young to understand which caused them both to act as if nothing had happened

• including keeping their wedding rings on around them, but they'd always come off as soon as the girls were out of sight

• and that's how you met Dave at the new cafe downtown

• he was standing in line in front of you, absent-mindedly waiting until it was his turn to order, getting his coffee and turning around and bumping into you

• it was both a miracle he hadn't spilled hot coffee on you, and also extremely odd Dave - who always had great reflexes - ended up colliding against the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen

• but it turned out as a good thing, because that gave you two a reason to talk and get to know each other a little bit better

• so one coffee became one exchange of numbers, that became a date and that went on until you realized you were in deep for that handsome mysterious man

• you knew he had two daughters, was separated and worked for the government which meant he couldn't talk a lot about his job

• but he seemed to be in love just as you were in love with him

• still, his time was pretty divided between you and his daughters and you absolutely respected that and understood it, which made you admire him even more

• you decided to take your dog for a walk in the park one Sunday morning, Dave told you he wouldn't be able to see you that day and you knew he would be with his daughters so it was a pretty sweet coincidence to spot Dave himself along with the two small girls just a few meters away from you

• he hadn't noticed you, being so focused on helping them control their balance and not fall from their bikes and proud to see them being able to ride it with not much struggle

• you watched the scene from afar, enjoying to see what a great dad Dave was, it made your heart warm and it even made you have a delusional moment of picturing yourself having a child with Dave

• the scene was perfect, until a brunette woman walked in, towards Dave and handing him a bottle of water, the girls immediately cheered and shouted "MOMMY!" excitedly and you felt a pang in your heart

• you reminded yourself you couldn't panic, he knew he must have been co-parenting his daughters with her so perhaps they just had the habit of spending time together, that was until the woman wrapped her arms around his neck and the girls giggled happily, at the display of affection given by her parents

• and the moment Dave took the water bottle to his mouth with his left hand, you were able to spot his wedding ring

• you gasped as you stood there shocked; it had been too good to be true, of course he was lying: he was married and having his fun with you, while you'd been too stupid to fall in love with him

• as the small family walked away, you could only drag yourself back to your home, locking yourself in and crying your heart out

• and the next few days, Dave called and texted but you ignored all of his attempts of getting in touch with you, you decided you wouldn't that lying cheating man the time of the day

• but of course he went after you, wanting to know what the fuck had happened so you would completely ghost him like that

• and when he literally broke into your apartment and waited for you, you two got into a heated argument, you accused him of lying and cheating on his wife, talking about the family scene you'd witnessed

• while he tried defending himself by saying he was just acting that way because the girls didn't know anything about it yet

• you didn't believe him, and above all, you were hurt, so even if his words were true, it didn't matter, you had broken up with him right there and then

• and Dave was pretty upset too

• he didn't think he would take that breakup that hard, he had no idea you were that important to him until he had lost you

• but that also made him realize he needed to make a decision and face his fears

• so in the weeks he'd been away from you, he managed to talk to Carol and then have an honest conversation with his daughters, explaining to them he would always love them no matter what

• after some crying things seemed to be falling into the right track, but there was still something he needed to do

• he went after you, finding you at the same cafe you'd met and it took you a lot of convincing to follow him to some place

• on the way, he explained to you how he never lied and he was already separated from Carol but they still shared the same house, which you only listened to but didn't say anything

• he parked in front of a building and took you to an apartment, showing him it was his new place and there was something else he wanted to do in front of you: sign the divorce papers

• he assured you he was starting a new chapter in his life and he really wanted you to be a part of it

• you couldn't resist Dave, jumping into his arms you kissed his lips, after all, he was divorced now

I just saw a post calling ahoska and obi wan anakins truest loves and uh what? It brought up the mortis arc of tcw and essentially minimizing the anidala love for one another as some form of escapism and how its poison ( even tho vader literally gets saved bc of luke - padmes son🙄) Its so strange how ahsoka fans want to make her a more prominent character than she really is. Also a recurring opinion that gets brought up is ahsoka knowing/understanding anakin better than padme and obi wan when she didn’t even know things about him (like he was a slave) and we consistently see anakin confide in padme its just so odd how alot of star wars fans diminish her

That doesn't surprise me at all since Star Wars is Ahsoka Wars at this point. And even if it wasn't, you have to give the Skywalkers at least some rest uk? The constant retconning and addition of new stuff most people didn't even ask for is tiresome. Ahsoka from the start felt very OC-ish to me because she was constantly hyped and favored in a way not even Anakin was. She felt like a self-insert jedi character so her place is canon is just weird. And forcing her to be important in places where she's not needed just shows Filoni's favoritism. At least GL wasn't ever really biased towards Anakin and Luke. Anakin mainly suffered through so much and had enough flaws and complexies which Ahsoka never had. She's constantly in a plot armor and just overpowered imo. But ofc she's a badass Jedi so she is more popular than Padme. I cant even.. I just hate the way TCW and Filoni wrote her. I don't see Anakin as being a big brother to anyone. Or being a teacher. The only other natural interaction he has except Padme and his mother is with Obi-Wan and even that took time. They didn't get along well in the first two movies and although he does joke around with Obi Wan in ROTS, he has his own slightly awkward and shy way of doing it. And I imagine he's semi reserved and shy with other Jedi. Or when we see him interacting with Padme's family. But to make him a responsible master is strange because even in ROTS he was too young and not mature enough to be level-headed and responsible all the time. And I like that because he has flaws but he was trying to learn and wanted to be a good father. And I do believe he really gained that maturity (which was stunted due to obvious trauma) and fatherly affection for Luke after ESB and not before. I think he would have had trouble connecting with Leia as well post ROTJ because he wasn't prepared to and had no experience being a role model for anyone. Meanwhile, 22 year old TCW Anakin with Ahsoka acts like a 30 year old man with anger issues...

It's also frustrating to see Padme being reduced to a love interest when she was a main character and part of the trio. She, like Han, didn't need to be a Jedi to be one of the main characters and it's boring to see a trio of Jedi only. I don't really blame Ahsoka fans - only Filoni for constantly dragging her into everything and I'm glad it's backfiring because I see fans who previously liked her are beginning to get tired of her being shoehorned into every single SW thing and acting all Mary Sue. Also, see the amount of concept arts and storylines they wrote for Padme during the prequels. She had more arts than Anakin and Obi-Wan. GL clearly wanted her to be important even more than Leia in ANH because we see much more of Padme and the first movie directly involves her and her planet with Anakin's discovery being a sideplot. It's disrespectful to reduce her to a love interest.

This video puts it really well (although he isn't a fan of the prequels as far as I can remember): "Dave Filoni's biggest problem as a writer apart from his complete inability to write interesting dialogue or craft stories that are more than just fetch quest for Magical McGuffin or create people who actually make smart decisions or his borderline fetish for the boring mediocre character he's trying so hard to insert as the driving force behind the entire Star Wars narrative is his constant [ __ ] around and reconning of past events and World building to suit the needs of his own narrow story. It's like he's staying in a hotel room for a couple of days and decided that he now has the right to completely remodel the place because he feels like it. This isn't your job Dave you're supposed to work within the rules of the world that George created not write a whole bunch of new ones just to suit yourself that now affect everyone else."

Lol applause for saying that out loud

Three Boys Discover Rare T.Rex Fossil in North Dakota

Three boys - ages 7, 9 and 10 at the time - discovered a T. rex bone poking out of the ground while wandering through a fossil-rich stretch of North Dakota badlands, and an upcoming film this summer is going to feature their find.

The trio announced their discovery publicly on Monday during a Zoom news conference as workers at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science prepare to begin chipping the fossil out of its rock cast at a special exhibit called "Discovering Teen Rex." Two young brothers and their cousin said they were "completely speechless" when they made the rare find in July 2022.

The exhibit will open on June 21 and will coincide with the debut of the film "T.REX," which captures the young boys' paleontological journey.

It all started when Kaiden Madsen joined his cousins, Liam and Jessin Fisher, on a hike through a stretch of land owned by the Bureau of Land Management around Marmarth, North Dakota.

Jessin, a fan of Jurassic Park movies and an aspiring scientists advises other kids to "[j]ust put down their electronics and go out hiking," according to the Associated Press.

Liam Fisher recalled that he and his dad, who accompanied the trio, first spotted the bone of the young carnivore. He said he thought the bone sticking out of the rock was something he described as "chunk-osaurus" — a made-up name for fragments of fossil too small to be identifiable.

The Tyrannosaurus rex is believed to have died around 67 million years ago. It was discovered in an area near Canada that at the time was similar to present-day Florida, with wildlife that included prehistoric turtles, fish, crocodiles and other cold-blooded species, according to the New York Post.

Sam Fisher took a photo of the discovery and showed it to a family friend, Tyler Lyson, who happened to be the associate curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

Lyson first believed the find was a relatively common duckbill dinosaur. But he organized an excavation that began last summer, adding the boys and a sister, Emalynn Fisher, now 14, to the team.

It was when they unearthed a jaw bone that had multiple teeth along with it.

They soon realized that their discovery was something more special. Lyson recalled that he started digging with Jessin where he thought he might find a neck bone.

"And it doesn’t get any more diagnostic than that, seeing these giant tyrannosaurus teeth starring back at you," Lyson said.

A Giant Screen Films documentary crew was on hand recording it.

"It was electric. You got goosebumps," Dave Clark, a member of the crew filming the documentary that later was narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sir Sam Neill, told the AP.

Based on the size of the tibia, experts estimate the dino was 13 to 15 years old when it died and likely weighed around 3,500 pounds — about two-thirds of the size of a full-grown adult.

It is unclear yet how complete this fossil is. So far, a leg, a hip, a pelvis, a couple of tailbones and a good chunk of the skull have been found, Lyson said.

"We wanted to share the preparation of this fossil with the public because it is a remarkable feeling," Lyson said. People will have about a year to watch crews chip away at the rock.

Shout-out to Toast, she named the humans and helped me by revising the writing!

If you like the story you can thank Lucky, Toast, Dio, Mystic and Lizard for hyping me into making it, kdjqwd.

All of the humans are in their mid 20s.

Overcast

CW: Fearplay, fear of being digested, implied digestion by the pred (doesn’t happen), brief description of blood, hard vore, cruel pred, unwilling prey.

A peaceful night fell into the town. Empty streets, the lack of sound…a perfect Saturday for the young Charlie to relax in their home. 

  That is, if their friends allowed it. 

  “Thank God those two were joking, I could not imagine b-” Interrupted by a knock at the door, Charlie left the couch and went to open it, only to be met with the two idiots in question. 

  “CHARLIE!” shouted both Dave and Mikey with genuine excitement, while simultaneously grabbing their friend out of the house and embracing them into a hug. 

  “No, you two are not getting me into any shenanigans tonight because of that rumor.” Charlie stood their ground, as if that would work. 

  Mikey decided to speak. The messy, dark hair and the hanging eyelids hinted that he wasn't fully awake–however, the enthusiasm said otherwise. “Come onnn… it will be fun though! Dave even found the doorknob! We wouldn't come get you if it wasn't real,” he said, doing jazz hands to emphasize the magical feeling of the object with a gleam in his copper eyes. 

  Charlie looked at Dave with a raised eyebrow. The pale man replied with a simple nod. Despite being the smallest, Dave was built and had quite the muscular figure. “I can't go against Mikey, just look at him! How can you say no to his face?” Dave gave them the doorknob and picked up a backpack from the ground that contained some snacks and three flashlights. 

  You know. All they need.

  Charlie rolled their eyes with a sigh, accepting defeat. “Fine, fine, let's get this over with. If I recall correctly, we need to position it in the air and gesture as if we were opening an invisible door...” 

  As Charlie made the motion, a wooden door appeared almost instantly. Opening by itself, it pulled the trio of humans inside, closing once they went through and vanishing without a trace.

  --------------------------------------------------

  There was a small door in the wall, slightly above a cabinet. It gave a faint glow and spat the humans on the ground, but they couldn't identify where they were. 

  Holding a flashlight in his hands, Mikey turned it on and pointed around, but even with the lighting, he couldn’t make anything out in this place. “That’s one weird road. It doesn’t seem to end, and it’s made of... marble?” The last statement made it curiouser and curiouser for them. 

  “A doorknob as a key, a never-ending path, this pitch black darkness! What’s with this pla-” Dave shouted, but stopped himself as he noticed Mikey looking up. Mikey wasn’t moving. “Are we… being watched?”

  Suddenly, a burst of light took over the place. Could it be the sun? No, it was…

  …a lightbulb. 

  The mysterious place was like the kitchen of a regular house. Its size was crushing in comparison to the humans, who were not much taller than a nearby salt shaker. It had a maroon touch to match its wooden floor and table. The black marble cabinet served as the "road" for the humans' arrival. 

  Who lived here? Mikey was confused. Then, the sight of their spectator had his body refusing to make a sound, frozen firmly in place. 

  His spiked fur had earthly tones that faded into grey. Hair covered his eyes, leaving an unnerving grin as their only guide to the creature's emotions. His strong physique was accompanied by scars that covered his entire body. Some resembled shooting stars–how curious. 

  He was a wolf. Something about the scars cutting through the wolf's fur reminded Charlie of a forest in the winter after a massacre–something soft and grey cut through by something harsh and bloody.

  “Um, a trio…?” the wolf spoke, the voice coming out in a low growl. “This night just got interesting.” Their eyes were locked with the humans, but the wolf didn't move an inch. He only stood there, patiently waiting for their reaction.

  “We…we need to go, now.” The trembling voice belonged to Charlie. They grabbed both of their friends' hands, going back and forth and looking in every direction in hopes of seeing the door. All three of them were shaking now.

  Charlie had hoped for a moment to breathe, but the wolf was already in front of them.

  “Going so soon? It isn't polite for visitors to come in without asking. Since I'm in a good mood, I suppose an exception can be made for you little morsels.” 

  The deep, guttural aspect didn't make any of them feel secure. If anything, it was worse. 

  The wolf grasped all three of the humans in one of his hands unceremoniously. He picked up a plate with the other and placed it on the table, dropping the humans on top of it. He sat in the chair and used his arms to rest his chin. “How about a game? No one can refuse a good game.”

  “Charlie… I don't think we should trust our host so blindly. If you didn't notice yet by his size and how he acts, we will get crushed,” Dave whispered, shoving his hands into his jacket in an attempt to stop the shaking. 

  “I-I know, but we don't have a choice here. The door is gone and so is the ‘key’ we had,” Charlie replied. They knew the Wolf wouldn’t make the “game” fair–but what choice did they have?

  “What kind of game…?” Mikey asked innocently, with a certain curiosity in his tone. His eyes refused to look at the wolf.

  “Oh, it's something simple, no need for those ones overflowing with rules. Each of you have five minutes to decide who is the first, second and last one to…” The Wolf gave a chuckle, the grin revealing some of his teeth. “...become my meal, of course. But I'm feeling kind-hearted tonight, so you may choose the order, my little morsels~” He took an hourglass from his pocket and flipped it upside-down, the falling sand announcing the start of the “game.” 

  “We, we, we- we can find a way around this! It's a game, he's just playing with us!” Mikey said. His friends could almost hear a quiet "…right?" coming out at the end of the sentence. His body was shaking. 

  “Mikey, everything is going to be just fine, ok? I’ll think of a plan with Charlie…” Dave knew they didn't have a chance, but he would grasp at the tiniest glimpse of hope he could find. “...I’ll give myself first, indulge him enough for you two to hide, find a solution, anything, okay? I know I can hold him off for a while, but I need you to promise that you’ll take Mikey and think of something.” Dave affirmed.

  The arguing took a while, but due to the little time they had it seemed like hours had passed and so they stopped, except... Mikey was quiet.

  The sight made them freeze in terror. 

  Mikey’s arm was halfway in the wolf’s maw. He was breathing heavily, desperately looking for something to hold onto. He grasped the pearly whites which would soon seal his fate…which was a mistake. 

  “Stop…stop-” The sound came from Charlie. They raised a hand in the wolf’s direction, trying to reach their friend's hand, until…a crimson fluid fell on Dave's shoulder, descending from the wolf’s jaws. Their eyes followed the trail till they met the source–an arm with light brown skin that stopped moving. 

  Charlie briefly saw the hourglass. It was hazy, but they quickly saw the state of the sand–empty. The humans had forgotten about the time.

  Dave fell onto the ground, his face covered in what remained of his friend. Something stirred within him, ancient as time itself, stronger than joy, far deeper than anger…fear. 

  A cacophony swelled in his head. Glk. Dave couldn't focus on anything but the sound as the wolf swallowed. Glrk. 

  Mikey was gone. Only the two humans remained. 

  “However, as much as I adore this taste, it wasn't worth the mess for such a delicacy. Besides, what value does a dull morsel hold? What a shame.” He licked the deep red that stained his fur–after all, he had manners–but soon he turned to the trembling forms on his plate. “The strongest one is the easiest to break, how peculiar~” He was grinning. 

  Dave looked up. His empty eyes gave up as tears rose to the surface". “I-I was going first–you should have taken me, that wasn't the plan, can’t you take me instead?! T-that's, that's–THAT'S NOT HOW IT WAS-” 

  The words barely came out of his lips before he was interrupted by the wolf, who leaned closer to the plate. “Tsk, tsk. Oh, my dear visitors, five minutes each. If I were to make an exception, I would simply take it as an invitation to play with the rules. Perhaps I could eat you sooner?” The wolf flipped the hourglass once again and gave them a grin, the same one they had been met with earlier.

  “NO-N-no…we will play, he only needs time. Dave…” 

  Dave was silent. 

  “…Dave. D-” 

  When he finally spoke, Charlie saw that Dave’s rainy, soulless eyes were still facing the wolf. “W-we are already going to suffocate in your stomach! Mikey got hurt! ...monster...you’re a monster.” As soon as he finished, almost immediately, a hand grabbed him. It was different from when he had Mikey in his grasp–it clenched him, hard. 

  The wolf gave another chuckle, accompanied by a sarcastic tone. “Your little friend got so desperate for things to be over that he got a simple bruise. I didn’t do anything~” His grip got tighter. “My food might not show its fear, but the smell is so intoxicating, the heartbeat gets louder...and since you look so brave now, tell me, little morsel, are monsters born…or made?” 

  He grabbed Charlie and left the table, making his way to the couch. He laid down, putting Charling on top of his stomach and resuming the play with Dave. Charlie was quiet. All they could do was watch–they felt powerless over the wolf, hugging their legs and waiting for all of this to end. 

  The wolf picked Dave up by the collar of his shirt and parted his lips, dangling the frightened human over his longing maw. He dropped him, only to close his teeth with a snap.

  Dave sighed. His body was shaking but he felt...relieved.

Dave didn’t fight or thrash around as one would expect. His eyes were closed, trying to think of it like a bad dream. Soon, he would wake up safe and sound in his home. Just as he grabbed this glimpse of hope, the wolf pinned him on the hard palate with his tongue, slowly drifting his meal to its end. 

  The corridor of the wolf’s throat moved on its own, almost as if it was another being. With a single, deep gulp, Dave was hugged by the pulsing walls, choking on the feeling of serving as food for another being. He passed out. 

  “Not much of a fighter, huh. Not that a broken toy has a purpose, anyway.” 

  One human remained.

  Grrgle. The wolf turned his vision to Charlie, who flinched upon hearing the wolf’s stomach.

  A river flowed from Charlie’s eyes. They tried to wipe it away, but it didn’t stop. It finally hit them. 

  They’re gone. 

  “C-can you... promise it won’t hurt? That they didn’t suffer?” 

  The wolf slowly turned his head to face the human. They could feel him exhaling a heavy, humid air. The feeling of the unknown made Charlie uneasy. They were shaking. 

  Erov gave them a toothy grin. “Boo~” 

  …all of the humans were gone.

  --------------------------------------------------

  A peaceful night fell into the town. Empty streets, the lack of sound…a perfect Saturday, except...that already happened. Charlie woke up in their home–they fell asleep on the couch. It was late. “Just a bad dream...thank-” 

  They couldn’t help but notice their friends sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Mikey had a scar in his arm. “Did he always have that scar...?” Charlie mumbled. Mikey did fall sometimes, but never to the point of getting hurt. 

  Charlie thought about it for a while, but as soon as they looked at the bedside table, they found a doorknob on top of a letter. Charlie’s heart skipped a beat. 

  It wasn’t a dream.

  --------------------------------------------------

A huge wolf rested on his bed, the cold weather of a cloudy day presenting him with a small light indicating the dawn. His chest expanded and contracted as he breathed, a rhythm almost therapeutic with the tranquility of the environment. He was in a protective pose, as if one of his arms served as a shield for the tiny being sleeping in his presence–much smaller than the wolf, but who found comfort in the overwhelming figure.

  He woke up, slightly breaking his position in hopes of not waking the little being as he rose from his bed. He pulled his hair back, holding it in a bun. The wolf opened his eyes–black as the night itself, with a blueish-silver glow to their irises. He was awake.

  Despite his serious expression, his countenance was calm. Erov had lost the playfulness he displayed when messing with his food. He looked at the fragile form sleeping on his bed again–it was shaking.

  He sighed and laid down again, putting his head closer to the form. “Shhh…I’m here…” He was worried, but the form turned in their sleep and hugged the wolf’s snout. “Rrrrrr…” Erov gave a low growl–though it felt almost like a purr. He had things to do this morning, but he could wait. They needed him–they were someone important who cared about him.

  In that moment, just for a second, the world stopped and felt warm.

Song of the Day - “Get Together”

Today marks the 55th anniversary of the Youngbloods’ cove of “Get Together” being awarded a Gold Record for selling over a million copies… October 7th, 1969

The song had been around for years. It had been originally recorded by the Kingston Trio - and then covered by the Dave Clark Five, We Five, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Jefferson Airplane,.

But the song just didn’t quite find its moment until the Youngbloods got a hold of it.

And then, the stars aligned… and the perfect click was clicked…

The definitive version of this beauty of a song was born, and became a gentle anthem of the era of hippies and peace and love and flower children…

The song, written by singer-songwriter Chet Powers (who would become Dino Valenti), was an appeal to peace and brotherhood… and it could not be more resonant right now…

The repeated line is, ”Come on people now/Smile on your brother/Everybody get together/Try to love one another right now”…. October 7th is, among other things, World Smile Day… which I don’t think has anything to do with this song becoming gold today, but it’s kinda sweet…

As an anthem of the era, besides the various covers, Richie Havens sang it at Woodstock… and Joni Mitchell sang it the Big Sur Festival in September of 1969…

But this song is owned by the Youngblood’s… gorgeously lead-sung by Jesse Colin Young… and while the song was released on their debut album in 1967, it took a while to pick up steam and be felt as the perfect version… and then to become a gold record…

But gold it became, and anthem it became, and forever we have it to love and remember the vibe of that time, and try to will ourselves into that frame of mind again….

DHMIS Traffic Light Trio Gacha Life 2

While I will be combining both the YouTube and the TV series into one universe, I have only watched the entirety of the YouTube series, and analysis videos of the TV series since it doesn’t stream where I am. To make things less confusing, I will be referring the YouTube series as videos and the TV series as episodes.

TW, while I do not go into much detail, there is mention of an0rex!a, @bu$e, de@+h, and f0$ter c@re.

Info: It is the only child of Roy and does not remember their mother. He naturally has brown hair, but Roy dyed both he and David’s hair blue to spite his ex and to connect with David, despite David liking his brown hair. They have been neglected and emotionally abused for a good majority of its life and believes this treatment is normal. Despite this, David has grown a distrust for Nel and Drew, Nel because they were originally a teacher (inspired by Nel’s cameo in video 6), and Drew for abandoning them.

Info: They grew up in the foster care system since he was a young child due to them being neglected by his parents, but kept switching house until they grew out of the system without ever being adopted. Because of this, Nel never properly developed firm relationships and is in deep denial about his desire of a family, desperate for attention. Nel was originally meant to be a teacher, but they looked at both the student and the teacher scripts, making them vulnerable to the same dangers as Drew and David, and tried to stay on the teacher’s script until video 5, when he went to get the phone. Nel has grown insecure of their looks since video 4. They are somewhat afraid of David due to Nel semi-knowing what happened to him in video 5, and stays at Drew’s hip to avoid him leaving again.

Red Guy

Name: Andrew Dreads

Nicknames: Drew, Red

Age: 34

Ethnicity: British African-Caribbean

Gender: Demi-Boy, he/they, ftm(?)

Sexuality: Asexual, Homoromantic

Info: Drew grew up with rather emotionally abusive parents that would dismiss and ridicule any emotion Drew and their sibling would have while the parents would whine about their own lives. He ran-away at 16 and cut off any contact with their family, but Drew grow to wonder if he made the right choice and question if their family changed after the run-away. Drew has difficulty understanding and presenting his emotions because of this. They had a dream to create a tv show since that was one of his only coping mechanisms before running away, and so when he met Roy and offered to be a producer, Drew accepted, not realizing his dream will be corrupted. Drew tried to stay with Nel and David out of regret for leaving them behind.

Dune: Part Two (2024)

2021’s Dune/Dune: Part One was epic. It might’ve ended in a “to be continued” but it didn't feel like it was just setting up a later film. Turns out, it was. This second installment is where the plot is really kicking off. Dune: Part Two is just as grandiose as the first. From the music to the world-building, the cinematography and story, it feels gigantic. The fact that it concludes the story makes this an even more satisfying film.

Thanks to Emperor Shaddam IV (Christopher Walken) and Baron Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) all of House Atreides is gone. Well, almost. Unknown to them both, young Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) have survived the betrayal and been adopted by the Fremen. Paul’s ability to fit exceptionally well within their society leads some to believe he is their prophecized messiah, an idea he resents because the story of the Lisan al Gaib was planted on Arrakis long ago by the Bene Gesserit. Unfortunately, only a united planet stands a chance against the invading Harkonen. For them to survive what's coming, Paul must lead the people he doesn’t want to lead.

Like its predecessor, there’s a lot going on in this film. You have to pay attention the whole time and if you only have a passing memory of 2021’s Dune, you'll be left behind to be eaten by sandworms. The film may last over two hours but it’s all earned, as there are some complex emotions here. Paul’s mother is part of the Bene Gesserit. She may have given birth to him (instead of a daughter) out of love for his father, but she’s still part of the group that’s been manipulating civilizations for ages. With all of House Atreides destroyed, she’s all he has left, but is she trustworthy? Lady Jessica has an undeniable thirst for power. She’s pushing Paul to embrace the messianic role the Fremen are attributing to him. Is it because she believes it’s what will be best for him? Yes, but how much of that is also the Bene Gesserit talking? The Fremen believe their savior will bring prosperity but Paul’s visions tell him otherwise. Meanwhile, he’s found a new home among the Fremen, which makes things even more complicated. There’s a small part of him (a part that grows as he spends more time on Arrakis) that wonders if maybe the prophecy has some truth to it. If he is the leader the Fremen have been waiting for, he must embrace the role.

You feel like you know Paul quite well but you’re never sure if the prophecy is real or not, where political ambitions end and where truth begins. It gives the romance developing between Paul and Chani (Zendaya) a thriller-like quality. Zendaya and Chalamet have terrific chemistry. You want them to be together, but their love isn't compatible with a Fremen victory. Even if Paul and the Fremen warriors defeat the tyrants from house Harkonnen, the emperor will send someone new to harvest the spice. The only way to free the planet is to go along with all of Lady Jessica's plans.

If I have a criticism for Dune: Part Two it’s that more often than not, the heads of House Harkonnen become cartoonishly evil. Displeased with his nephew Glossu Rabban (Dave Bautista), Baron Harkonnen summons his other nephew, Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) to Arrakis. Feyd-Ratha is a ghoul. He’s followed by a trio of “harpies”; sexy ladies he feeds with the flesh of subordinates that displease him. The guy kills more of his own minions than Darth Vader, which makes you wonder why anyone would take a job in the Harkonnen military… but from what we see of their homeworld, they’re all depraved sociopaths. The thing is, I wouldn’t dream of cutting him from the picture. The scene that introduces this new villain is stunning. For almost four hours, we’ve seen Arrakis. It’s this giant desert filled with dangers. Then, we step away from the scorching sands. We visit the Harkonnen homeworld, which is this strikingly black-and-white hellhole, a place so visually arresting it's like a nightmare. Then, we go back to Arrakis and now, it seems so beautiful, so full of life. You understand why it’s a place worth fighting for. Paul’s mission is about more than revenge.

Dune: Part Two is a satisfying film to watch for several reasons. As a conclusion of the story we started in 2021, it delivers. The only plotlines left untied are done so deliberately and work in the conclusion’s favor. As a revenge story, you love to hate the villains and seeing Paul rise up to challenge them is a delight. It's a magnificent example of filmmaking. Once again, I can't wait to see what's coming next. (Theatrical version on the big screen, March 24, 2024)
