THANK YOU JAY THANK YOU JAY THANK YOU JAY

"You keep saying that people took me away from you. No one took me away from you, dad. You haven't had me for a long time. You lost me. You lost me in the lies, the training, your obsession with your work, it was all you cared about. Things change, dad. After ava died, you weren't there. You weren't there for me or for mom. And when I tell you we hurt, we struggled, I say we hurt and struggled so goddamn much. And I'm sure you did too, but you made it so goddamn clear where your priorities lied with the family. And in my grieving, you were the only one who wasn't there. Jayson Ferin, you are someone I've known my entire life. You've known me longer than I can remember, and maybe I've made decisions that you don't agree with, but they are my decisions, and I would've hoped that in the years you've known me, that you would give me even a modicum of trust, a modicum of what I saw in you my entire goddamn childhood. And now, you stand here in front of me again, you're making the same mistakes... You don't get to just take me back, you need to earn it. And the way it stands, you're on a fast track to lose both me, and your wife. You are the strongest man I've ever known but you are a fucking pathetic father. So come on. Go ahead, finish it, do your fucking job, if that's where your priorities still lay, as they always have."

persuasion with advantage and dm inspiration. so deserved holy shit jay. i am. speechless.

"For the first time in my life, since I became a pirate, I was able to feel free."

get the fuck OUT of here jayson go AWAY

jayson I'd ask why you don't fucking ask may yourself but I don't want you anywhere near her :)

thank fucking god hes gone.

"that's my boy right there, that's my BOY, I'm on your ass, I'm like glue on something that glues on" "this is the beginning of something, this is the beginning of a whirlwind of whoopass on kira I'm telling you now" bizly has the right idea get the panda man back

Genesis: Chapter 9: Hisashi Wakes up and Chooses Violence

How two brothers can take two opposite paths. How a man can be made into a monster and how the other must pay the ultimate price to save everything he knows and loves.

Or, alternatively:

The origins of All for One and One for All.

Previous Chapter

First Chapter

        Tomura’s hands shook as he sat in the matron’s office in a stiff, uncomfortable plastic chair next to his brother. What could she possibly want? He had heard horror stories whispered in the hallways, nervous looks exchanged among his few friends at the mere mention of her name. Of people coming back from one of her more severe punishments looking... off. They’d jump at loud noises, or cry at the sight of a measuring tape. Tomura knew they were just ghost stories, meant to scare kids away from doing anything too stupid. Or, at least, he’d think they were just ghost stories if he hadn’t seen the haunted look in Jose’s eyes after the incident on Christmas.

        As if sensing his mental spiral, Hisashi put a hand on Tomura’s shoulder. A gesture of reassurance. As thanks, Tomura gave him an unsteady smile. Hopefully, this wasn’t going to be too bad. Maybe she just wanted them to run an errand? Still, it was strange that she’d pull them out of lunch for something like that.

        The door behind them opened, and Tomura nearly shot out of his chair with fright at the unexpected sound. It was only his brother’s steady hand that kept him from doing so. Matron Abra cleared her throat, and slid into the seat across from them behind her desk. “I expect you both know why you’re here?” she asked, shuffling stray papers.

        “No?” Tomura squeaked. The matron paused and raised an eyebrow at him.

        “No ma’am,” Hisashi replied politely, though Tomura suspected that the teen would rather be scooping up dog poop with his bare hands, “We were just sent into your office without explanation right before lunch, at the end of class.”

        Matron Abra let out a distressed sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose, “I really should invest in more competent staff.”

        They just sat in silence for a moment, Tomura didn’t really know what to say to that.

        “With all the political issues going on, I trust you know what I mean -” Hisashi nodded, Tomura had no clue what she was talking about, “ - It’s been impacting several industries, that means it’s been harder to get supplies like food and water into the orphanage.”

        Tomura shifted in his seat uncomfortably, “Is there anything we can do to help?” he asked, the thought of anyone going hungry scared him. He couldn’t go through that again. Hisashi shot him a look, a warning.

        The matron shook her head, “No, I’m afraid not. However, I called you both in here today to inform you that your medications may be.. delayed.”

        “What do you mean?” Tomura asked, and the matron looked at him as if he had declared Europe a country.

        “I mean that you may have to go a while without your prescriptions,” the matron huffed, clearly trying to remain patient, “There’s nothing we can do.”

        Tomura glanced at his brother for his input, only to be met with… a serene smile? Why? No. The set of his jaw, the way his eyes narrowed. Hisashi was anything but calm.

        “Thank you,” Hisashi said, voice tight and cordial, “for informing us. You do know that my brother is non-functional without his medications, correct?” The Matron nodded, so he continued, “I expect this establishment to be able to provide him with adequate accommodations. After all, it is the bare minimum as laid out in the ADA. That is, of course, unless something unfortunate were to happen to this lovely institution.”

        “Are you threatening me, you little urchin?” Matron Abra sneered.

        Hisashi batted his hand in the air, seeming almost carefree if it weren’t for how sharp his smile was, “I would do nothing of the sort, beloved matron.”

        Her eyes narrowed, the tension in the air was electric, coiled, like a snake prepared to strike. Tomura awkwardly coughed, “I think our lunch period is almost over, shouldn’t we be headed back to class Matron Abra?”

        The matron opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then closed it with a clicking of teeth. “Fine,” she finally bit out. 

        Tomura hurriedly collected his things and gave her a small bow, “Thank you for the heads up, Matron Abra!” He scampered out the door, desperate to put as much distance between himself and whatever feud was budding between his brother and the woman as possible. Tomura heard the door shut, he looked over his shoulder, it seemed that Hisashi had followed him.

        “Are you okay?” His brother asked, putting his hands into his coat pockets.

        Tomura chewed on the inside of his mouth, “I’ll be okay, I think. I’m worried though. I haven’t gone without medications in a long time.” It was while his family had been homeless, drifting from shelter to shelter. The pain had been unbearable and most of his memories from that time were of being stuck in bed, filling in coloring books.

        From above them, the church bells rang. It seemed like they’d missed lunch. Hisashi nudged Tomura’s shoulder with his own, “C’mon, I’ll walk you to class.”

        Normally, Tomura would have protested at being babied in such a way, but he couldn’t muster up the energy to care. Instead, he nodded and kept in step with his older brother. The hallways soon flooded with loud, rambunctious children. The flood of people only parted for a handyman working in the middle of the hall, trying desperately to fix the damage Jose’s basketball had wrought. Caution tape surrounded the blue-collar worker, and live wires sparked dangerously around his head like a halo as he worked to fix the mangled lighting. Tomura was surprised, he hadn’t realized it had been so bad.

        They were almost to his class when his foot caught on something and he tripped and was sent sprawling on the carpeted floor. Laughter filled the hallway. Tomura groaned, disoriented. 

        “Wow retard, are you so stupid that you can’t walk straight?” he heard a familiar voice jeer. Bruce. Tomura sat up and tried to collect his papers from where they’d been scattered. The bully continued, “It’s no wonder that you hang out with those freaks, they’re the only ones who’ll-” Desperately, Tomura tried to tune him out.  This wasn’t anything new, he’d been antagonized before. People like Bruce just wanted a reaction. If he stayed quiet maybe he’d just go away?

        A foot kicked him on his rear, and Tomura face planted. His face heated up with embarrassment. “Hey, you deaf and dumb?” Bruce crowed, “You should know better than to ignore me!”

        Suddenly, Tomura smelled burnt flesh and heard a bloodcurdling scream. He got to his feet and spun around, heart racing. Bruce looked like he was dancing. Like one of those frogs in old school cartoons his mother would let him watch sometimes. Standing over him was Hisashi, sparking wire in hand and dark eyes glacial. 

        “Hey kid, what the hell?!-” The electrician shouted, but Tomura didn’t listen.

        He tackled his brother to the floor, frantically trying to get him to stop, “Hisashi you’re hurting him!” Bruce collapsed to the floor with a wet thud once the electric current stopped animating his smoking body.

        Something hardened behind the teens eyes, “He was hurting you, how long has he been doing this?” Hisashi discarded his makeshift weapon, “When were you planning on telling me?”

        “I- I thought you already knew!” Tomura stammered, panic making everything too bright, too sharp.

        “Oh, but if I knew would you really think I’d just stand by and let him torment you?” Hisashi crooned, he cupped Tomura’s cheek with his left hand, “Truly, this is your fault for not telling me sooner, if you had I wouldn’t have needed to do something so drastic.”

        Tomura felt tears leap to his eyes as they widened, “What..?”

        “What is the meaning of this?!” Tomura heard Matron Abra yell, her voice growing louder as she drew closer.

        Seeing that the threat of bearing witness to a murder had passed, Tomura scrambled off his brother and rushed to see if Bruce was okay. The teen’s heart was beating. Thank God. Hisashi stood up, dusting his hands off on his jeans, “Well, you see dearest matron, poor Bruce here tripped on a stray tile and fell into one of the live wires. Really, you should fire this electrician, who leaves something so dangerous dangling around for someone to walk into?”

        Distantly, Tomura wondered if the electrician was related to Finn as he watched the man’s face rapidly shift between reds and violets. “Why you little-!”

        The man was cut off as the matron clutched the collar of Hisashi’s shirt - an impressive feat seeing as how he towered over her - and sneered, “How stupid do you think I am, brat?”

        Hisashi just raised an eyebrow in response. For a moment, Tomura thought he was about to be struck across the face.

        “Tomura,” Matron Abra said, as if just remembering he was there, “Come to my office after dinner, I’ll need your account of what happened. Go to class.”

        He was taken aback by her use of his first name, “Yes Matron Abra. What’s going to happen to my brother? Will Bruce be okay?”

        Her lip curled, “Did I tell you to stand here and ask questions with obvious answers like a slack-jawed moron? Go.”

        For once, Tomura did as he was told. He tried to steady his breathing to no avail. It was hard to believe that had just happened. Was this all really his fault? Couldn’t he have prevented this? He knew his older brother had poor impulse control. The preteen chewed on the inside of his mouth anxiously as he stood in front of his classroom door, just a few rooms down from where the incident had happened. He hesitated before opening it, the barrage of questions his peers would throw at him might be just as bad as what he just saw.

                                                -@~*^*~@-

        Hisashi hated small spaces. He hated the way his pulse quickened, how panic caught in his throat as he spent hours clawing desperately for an escape. 

        The first time he had been locked away was when he was five, when his father caught him crouching over a dead rabbit. Their apartment in Japan was small, cramped. It stood to reason that their closets would be too. No matter how much he cried, pleaded, begged, his father would look at him with that hardened look in his eyes. With disgust. It was something burned into his memory. He hadn’t understood it then. All he could focus on was the throbbing pain of rejection and betrayal. The days he spent there without food and water blurred together. The last he remembered of the incident was being let out before his mother returned home from a long business trip.

        It began to be a frequent occurrence after that. His mother would go away on business trips or vacations and he’d be shut into that closet over the tiniest infraction. All the while, his father would stand outside the door, vowing to fix him.

        When they moved to their house in America, before the economic crisis, the closet was traded for the basement. It was larger, yes, but the dark was just as oppressive and suffocating as the closet’s wooden walls. The damp, stagnant air would reek with the smell of his waste discarded into a bucket his father had left. A courtesy, the man had called it. From time to time his father would come into the room and turn on the light - a single lightbulb dangling from a wire - and read passages from the Bible. At the age of six, Hisashi grew angry. This wasn’t fair. He hadn’t done anything to deserve this! He was a wild thing then, and would hiss and spit and scratch and bite when his father approached his underground prison. That was when the beatings started. He’d beat him on the head, on the torso, on the legs, on the arms with an old yellowing phonebook. The entire time he would rant about how broken Hisashi was, how ungrateful he was and how dare he. Resentment was cultivated within him then. He wanted to lash out, to hurt, to scream.  He’d inflict suffering on small animals, something that, contrary to popular belief, hadn’t started until after they moved. Their squeals and writhes gave his suffering form. An outlet. Gave him control over something outside of himself. Of course, after the third family pet disappeared, his father caught on to what was happening and his punishments grew much, much worse.

        This all came to a head when he was seven and his mother caught him in the act of burying their dog. When she confronted him about it he cried and wailed and wept, crushed by the weight of grief and guilt. That dog had been his. His father was right, Hisashi was broken. The imprisonments became more frequent, any time his mother wasn’t home and brother was preoccupied Hisashi would spend his time curled up in the basement, watching ants skitter across the cold stone floor. They sent him to therapy for a few years and he learned how to reign himself in, to appear perfectly normal so he could have more freedom. The therapy appointments stopped right before the economic crisis pushed them out of their house. His parents were overjoyed when his psychiatrist declared him miraculously cured. Hisashi wanted to wipe that smug look off of his father’s face. 

        When they drifted from shelter to shelter he took a sick sort of pleasure in watching his father suffer. In watching his cheeks grow gaunt and eyes dull as he got turned down from job after job. It was his brother and his aggressive optimism despite worsening illness that spurred Hisashi to action. Tetsuya and Hana could burn in hell for all he cared, but Tomura didn’t deserve this. Never this. That night, he’d stolen his first wallet.

        It should have been obvious that Matron Abra would have known the exact punishment to dole out. She had a talent for needling out weaknesses from those in her care. Hisashi sat in the janitor’s closet. It was dark, and cramped, and various cleaning supplies poked him at awkward angles. All of his concentration and willpower went towards keeping his breathing even, no matter how much he felt like he was teetering on the edge of a panic attack. 

        “You’re staying in here until you understand what you’ve done,” the matron had hissed when she shoved him into his new prison, a perfect echo of his father’s own words, “We’ll find a much more suitable punishment for you yet.”

        Hisashi didn’t want to mull on those last words. Agonizing over a future that had yet to pass would get him nowhere. He didn’t feel remorse for what had happened to Bruce, the brat had it long coming, and the wire was just convenient. If it hadn’t been there he would have settled for more… hands on measures. No one was allowed to harm what was his like that. He swallowed, thoughts once again snaking back to his current predicament. It was unfortunate that the closet was pitch black, there were no windows, no source of light, not even from the crack that should have been under the door. Otherwise, he’d be in the process of MacGyvering his way out by now.

        He buried his head in his knees and breathed deeply. Hisashi hated small spaces, the way the walls would close in, giving him the sensation of being buried alive. Of suffocating.

A/N: Alternate title: You fucked up a perfectly good villain is what you did, look at him, he has claustrophobia. I've been wanting to write this chapter for a while! I ended up writing most of it in two sittings (which is unusual because my attention span is terrible) then gave it a little polish yesterday. This weekend I planted some seeds to start a garden, our growing season is in the winter here, and I hope my babies survive this time. Anyways, I'm going to stop rambling. As always, feel free to leave a comment!

Luke hiding his distaste for Yoda’s food.

Yoda and Obi-Wan talking.

I’m gonna be honest, I hate Yoda. He’s an old man who is doesn’t want change until literally episode 8. He may have taught Luke something but Luke had to learn the way of the force by himself.

Also, Yoda scares me.

Have I mentioned that I love Leia?

“I have a bad feeling about this.”

C3P0 yelling at the Mynock.

Leia faceplanting into the Falcon.

“I am not a committee!”

I don’t like the Luke/Yoda training scene.

The only thing that I believe that Yoda taught look was to absolutely fear his connection with the force.

The whole under the tree Luke/Vader “fight” was to allude to “hey, Vader is this Anakin guy we keep talking about.”

Is that Boba I see?

The light speed fail x2.

“Shut up!”

I don’t like this Luke/Yoda training scene either.

“No! Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.”

Unpopular opinion: Palpatine should’ve killed Yoda.

The soft flute force theme.

Bruh, I forgot Han landed the Falcon on Vader’s ship.

Leia turning 3P0 off.

“He’s a card player, gambler, scoundrel. You’d like him.

“Thanks.”

You can see Anthony Daniels or his stand in breathing in the 3P0 outfit.

Boba following them.

Again, I hate each and every single Yoda/Luke training scene.

“Han. Leia!”

Yoda constantly belittling Luke’s compassion for his friends that he sees as his family. This is why I don’t like Yoda.

The landing on cloud city.

I forgot how much Cloud city looks like Corucant.

Lando Calrissian

Han pointing to himself, *me?*

Lando Calrissian.

“What have you done to my ship?”

“Your ship? Hey, remember, you lost her to me fair and square.”

They are literal children and I love it.

Lando immediately flirting.

Also, what the fuck was George Lucas thinking on letting 5ft something men get chest to chest with Carrie and try to intimidate her with their height whilst trying to flirt with her?

Wtf was he thinking! Carrie Fisher is 4ft something and I feel bad for her.

“She’s the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.”

Chewie going to look for C3P0.

The soft force theme.

The force theme turning to the imperial march.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, you let 12-year old Ahsoka Tano on a battlefield with Anakin fucking Skywalker, the man who stared General Grevious in the face and basically told him to fuck off, and you’re not letting Anakin’s literal son go save his sister and future brother in law! So shut the fuck up dead guy and let Luke save his friends.

Yoda can go die for all I care. I forgot how much of an asshole he is.

God, I fucking hate Yoda.

Leia’s Bespin outfit.

Leia worried over 3P0 is the sweetest thing. This shows just how great of a mom she’ll be.

“I don’t trust Lando.”

Have I said that I appreciate how pretty Harrison Ford is?

Yo! Mandalorian!

Also, chewie finding C3P0!

Leia covering her body when she realizes Lando is watching her is something I thought I’d never relate to but whelp, here we are.

Lando Calrissian is very creepy actually in how he treats Leia every chance he can get.

Han’s ready to punch him.

“Would you join me for a refreshment?”

“No!” I never realized how protective Chewie is of Leia until this scene. Chewbacca immediately is ready to rip Lando apart.

“Having a problem with your droid?”

Han immediately realizes how vulnerable Leia can get when C3P0 is involved and when people she’s intimidated by. Han drew away Lando’s attention on 3P0 to him.

Han drank his appreciating women juice.

Is Boba wearing a death watch thingy on his shoulder?

Leia looks so damn scared.

Han grabbing Leia’s hand tighter to protect her.

Chewie trying to work on C3P0.

The imperial march.

Han’s super pale. “I feel terrible.”

Leia’s vulnerable and even though Han’s hurting he jumps in to protect her and how angry Leia gets, that’s when everyone knows that Leia’s feeling and anger is her protection emotion.

Honestly, I’m ready to skip the rest of Lando’s scenes.

Carbonite.

Okay so when Vader tells the Troopers to put Han into the carbon freezer, Chewbacca attacks, if you notice, Vader just lets him. It’s not because, “hey let’s not anger the Wookiee more.” It’s because according to a scene in The Clone Wars animated TV show, Chewbacca saved Anakin’s padawan, Ahsoka. I like to think Vader was finally paying his debt to the Shriwook for saving Ahsoka.

Han calming down Chewie by telling him to look after Leia.

Han and Leia’s second kiss

“I love you.”

“I know.”

Leia looks so damn sad and scared.

Chewie literally pulling Leia into his body to try and lessen the pain she was in.

The fact that Luke doesn’t realize that it’s Han.

Luke slowly realizing that he didn’t see Han with Leia and Chewie.

The only lightsaber fight between Luke and a Vader that I remember.

I’m not gonna comment on Chewie chocking Lando.

That force jump.

The biggest plot twist in cinematic history, according to the Internet, is about to happen.

R2 getting electrocuted

R2 going to fix his husband.

Oop, Luke’s hands about to get cut off.

Mark Hamill’s scream.

“Luke, there is no escape. Don’t make me destroy you. Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.”

“I’ll never join you!”

“If you only knew the power of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.”

“He told me enough. He told me you killed him.”

“No. I am your father.”

“No, no, that’s not true. That’s impossible!”

“Search your feelings. You know it to be true.”

The iconic “Noooo.”

“Luke. You can destroy the emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son. Come with me. It is the only way.”

Skywalker men are such idiots and always are so dramatic.

The poor film editor, having to make it look like Luke is falling and is just playing with the footage they got of Mark Hamill writhing around.

And here we see just how powerful Leia and Luke are.

“Leia. Hear me. Leia”

“Luke.”

Luke’s just swinging his legs.

Light speed fail x3

“Luke.”

“Father.”

“Come with me.”

“Ben. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Luke, it’s your destiny.”

Mark Hamill is such a talented actor

Welp, Anakin’s gonna kill everyone.

“May the Force be with you.”

Luke’s fake hand.

The chills I get during the ending music.

And that was The Empire Strikes Back. All in all a good classic.

The 100 - 6x04: The face behind the glass review and predictions.

Before we get into the specifics, I’m a little scared of the rehashing of old narratives that comes to surface in this episode especially. Not sure how I feel about all the parallels. In my trailer analysis, I did point out the fact that it does not seem that much different than previous seasons: There are no good guys, we kill them so that we can live and blah, blah, blah. Even so, I’m interested and invested to see what types of unique twists and turns this story will throw at us. Jason Rothenberg, you better not disappoint.

The face behind the glass written by Charmaine DeGrate and directed by Tim Scanlan, who is known for directing the sex scenes on the show. Dead giveaway. Not my favorite so far, but a lot of things happened that has me excited for the rest of the season.

Is there a better way to open an episode than Diyoza joking with her unborn child? It’s no secret she’s in my top 5 favorite characters and keeps climbing the charts. So, the Sanctumites offer her a deal: Save Rose and we’ll take care of your baby, which she takes, to offer her child a life and it’s something to do other than trying to survive. But in known Diyoza fashion on condition of a gun and a bike. 

Then, Simone begs Russel to cancel naming day on account of spies inside the compund. They’ve already been deprived of three primes (Kaylee’s family) and Rose. Pushing them towards extinction at an alarming rate and it once again becomes obvious that Clarke will become Josephine, yet I’m now intrigued by Madi. The cultish way in which these people worship the primes are uncanny and wayward. But then again all cults are weird. I don’t believe in the divinity of the primes either.

Russel disagrees by saying: “If we cancel, Gabriel wins.” Last week I thought that Gabriel will be brought back to life in one of the hosts, but I think there’s something else going on there. It’s clear now that Gabriel and his children are against the revival of the primes, bringing about the question: How has he survived all these years?

Priya and Jordan share some sweet intimate moments where he tells her he feels guilty for becoming another taunting face behind the glass. Which was necessary to show he’s still grieving his parents even while having fun. Her referral to this line later before she becomes a prime is crucial though, meaning there might be a possibility for her to come back.

The four pillars of Sanctum: Repent, Renew, Rejoice, Rebirth. Accentuating rebirth very literally. We know from episode two that Russel Lightbourne does not believe in God, but by killing a person for no reason other than so that someone you love can live is playing god in the cruelest way imaginable.

Embracing their traditions, Clarke decides to repent for her sins. She tries to apologize to Raven who won’t have any of it and compares her to Octavia. For me, the biggest difference between Clarke and Octavia is the remorse she feels. She knows what she did was wrong and she’s trying to make up for it. Therefore she deserves forgiveness. I wonder how Raven will react to Clarke’s death? 

Gabriel? Who the f#@k are Gabriel and his children?

As I said earlier, the old man is definitely Gabriel. We don’t know if he’s dead or alive. It can’t be that he lives within a computer because then his existence would be known. 

My guess is the split within Sanctum came recently (using the term loosely). Gabriel had to be one of the 12 primes since he came with them and his blood was also altered. Meaning his conscience was also transferred into a host. He was against the hostile takeover of innocent bodies and decided to rebel by saving the hosts. 

If this happened sixty odd years ago, Gabriel could still be alive somewhere (perhaps in hiding due to a failed conviction) and old. Very, very old. I’m not sure whether his followers are literally his children or just those that have sided with him, but either way, they want to continue his cause. Which they’ve clearly lost sight of. Save the hosts, don’t kill them.

Or this anomaly they mentioned somehow extends life, only it’s dangerous. Who knows, I’m a bit boggled here.

Xavier purposefully left his bag out to save Octavia and Rose. I’m sure I’ve seen this before. Right, Lincoln kidnapped her and saved her simultaneously. I know this is such a retelling of their story, but I loved Linctavia and thus cannot help boarding this ship.

Another season one throwback to Bellamy and Charlotte. But I think I’ve voiced my concerns about these. Poor, poor Rose. That scene was heartbreaking. 

Boy oh boy Bellarke and their romances

Clarke apologizes to Bellamy and states her reasons even though Bellamy has already forgiven her because he would be a hypocrite not to. And they share what has now become known as a Bellarke hug since it’s all these idiots can ever do.

Clarke hooks up with Cillian (who turns out to be the spy) within two seconds, now I’m not sure about you, but I rolled my eyes. Oh, cute, Clarke has yet another lover added to her long list of previous ones. Finn, Niyalah, Lexa, and Bellamy always on the side. I’m glad it’s a guy though to showcase that she is indeed bisexual and not gay. Bisexuality really needs some appreciation.

No one can tell if Bellamy was only upset with the party as he stated or Clarke having fun with some random dude. Most will say it’s the former and it probably is, yet it’s filmed in a different way. Why did they put him in this scene in the first place? 

When he sees her having fun, he smiles, he’s happy for her. Then the doctor’s all over her and all of a sudden his attitude changes. I don’t want to read too much into it since I had to watch it like six times to draw this conclusion.

He’s hurt and grieving over a lot of things, especially his sister and then he witnesses his “platonic soulmate” in the arms of another man. She’s always known exactly how to get him to open up, what to say to make him feel better and even though he knows he’s not allowed to feel that way, he’s jealous, he realizes he still needs her. 

And that spurs the single tear and his fight with Echo. He even spares another glance over his shoulder when she asks what’s wrong. Or was that just random? Because once he’s calmed down he apologizes to his girlfriend and comforts her when she tells him her backstory after six years of being lied to.

I felt for Echo, her life wasn’t easy, but none of their lives were. Honestly, I just can’t find Becho’s connection. Even though I try, because at some point we have to accept the fact that this is possibly a long term pairing. I’ve made my peace, I’ll ignore them. Give Echo an individual storyline and I might just start liking her more. 

A Red Queen and a terrorist walk into a bar

First of all, I have to show my gratitude for the glimpses of Octavia’s humanity. She’s in there and she’s slowly swimming to the top. That thorned rose is blossoming once again, thank you, Bellamy, for your part in this.

This is a weapon of mass destruction if I’ve ever seen one. A pregnant terrorist and a former evil queen. Yes, this is what I’m talking about. I might just write fanfiction about it.

“The devils of earth become the heroes of Sanctum.” They’re set out to kill Gabriel, but I doubt that will occur. From all I’ve heard, he’s good. Enhanced by Cillian’s words: “There are two sides to every story.” So, they will most likely join forces against Sanctum in some way. Hopefully not blowing up another planet. Please do something interesting here.

Josephine!Clarke

Okay, my first take on Josephine Ada Lightbourne was very wrong. To me, she seemed smart, funny and confident. Now she looks like the devil in disguise (No pun intended.) 

Reverting back to my earlier assumption about Delilah/Priya. It’s evident that Delilah no longer exists within her body which sets Jordan on edge. But that small statement along with knowing the mind of the host is erased but the brain is unharmed propels me to believe they can come back. Somehow. Hopefully.

Simone says, “I’ll prep for insertion, you clear the host.” Did that mean Clarke’s mind might be stored in some device too? They must have a way of extracting consciousness to transfer it to a host. Thus Clarke Griffin’s mind will be backed up somewhere as well. Not for too long before it’s disposed of, I’m sure.

Come on Madi (Lexa and Becca), Bellamy, Abby, Jordan, Raven, Murphy. You have to figure this out and bring her back before its too late. I refuse to believe Princess Clarke is dead. If she is, my mind is blown in a bullet to the brain kind of way. 

One scenario is that Josephine will have to give forth a ruse of being Clarke and willingly accept the “honor” of becoming a prime. She’s been indulging in all their other conventions, why not this one, right? But Jordan now knows what happened to Delilah, so they will try to stop her. Most likely Madi or Bellamy will notice a difference within her.

The dangerous alternative will be for Josephine to simply embrace her new host by saying they brought her to life after Cillian murdered her. Sanctumites, you have no idea how much Clarke’s people care about her. This might even sway those currently mad at her for an investigation.

A few last things

Russel does feel bad about what he’s doing, but so did Dante Wallace.

Raven and Wick (Sorry the other mechanic) what is that? Five minutes after Shaw’s death. Or was it only the motorcycle. Why does this show give us seedlings of relationships that will have no chance of growing?

Is Shadeheda Cadogen and what will he bring to the table?

Madi tasting her first cookie was awesome!

I missed Murphy this episode. His presence is required at all times.

What will happen to Niylah on the ship? And when will Indra make her appearance?

Will Russel and Simone find out that Abby knows how to create nightblood? 

Let me know what you think.

[littlestshelby]

Michaels girl.

Part 2 here.

(2,103) words.

Warnings: Rape themes, violence and death.

(Trigger warning.)

Fucking Tommy had done it again, started a mess that got everyone in danger but himself. He had managed to royally fuck up another deal, All he had to do was sign the contract with the Italians and the war would be fucking over. But that’s not what he did, Tommy being Tommy sat with Luca Changretta for all of 20 minutes before putting a bullet threw his head, along with the two cousins sat either side of him. Never thinking about the consequences until it was to late. But this time it was Tommy who would pay, the youngest Changretta brother was on his way and he knew where to hit Tommy Shelby where it hurt the most, some where that no one dared to go. He was going to take out the women and children of the Shelby family.. one by one. Starting with Michael Gray’s fiancé. Then Esme Shelby, picking off each of Johns children before starting on Linda and the baby. Before finally Polly gray and Charlie Shelby. Theo Changretta’s plan was going to topple not just the peaky blinders but the whole of Birmingham.

Tommy hadn’t told any of the family about the existence of Theo Changretta. Thinking the young 21 year old would know better than sticking his nose into family business. So it was a Saturday night in the late summer when Michael and (y/n) had been for a few drinks with the family in the garrison, Arthur announcing the news that Linda was pregnant. Causing everyone to drink late into the night. “I’m feeling tired michael” (y/n) whispered into his ear as she lent against his chest, she was sat in his lap as he smoked. Polly and Finn either side of them, Michaels hand dropped down to the small swell at the bottom of her stomach. “Want me to walk you home?” He asked thumbing over it gently, being discreet. They had both decided to announce the pregnancy when (y/n) was later along.

“I’m okay love, I’ll just go right home and get the bed warm for when you get home.” She grinned and his mouth quirked into a small smirk kissing her gently. “Okay (y/n) I won’t be long, I’ll just drink up and grab the keys from the office for the morning and I’ll be home.” Nodding her head (y/n) stood and kissed everyone’s cheeks saying goodnight. Hugging Linda and Arthur once again congratulating them before kissing Michael once more on her way out the door. Waving to Harry who was serving at the bar she slipped on her coat and headed out the door.

As soon as she stepped outside the cold air hit her, stinging her lungs as she breathed. Looking up she noticed the full moon and the bright clear stars shining brightly in the sky. With a smile on her lips she made her way slowly up watery lane towards her home. It was quiet out for a Saturday but it wasn’t anywhere near kicking out time so it wasn’t that unusual. (Y/n) nodded her head at Finn and Isaiah as they walked past her with two girls on their arms. This made (y/n) chuckle. She had just turned down the lane when someone touched her arm.

An elderly man, (y/n) stopped and smiled sweetly. “Everything okay?” She asked. Before she knew what was happening she was being dragged down the ally by the elderly man and a younger man. “Filthy Shelby.” The man spat in her face shoving her against the wall, Italian, he was Italian she recognised the accent. “You’ve got the wrong girl, ‘m no Shelby. ‘M just (y/full/n)” She was shaking looking at the two men but they clearly knew who she was. She was cursing herself for not just staying at the garrison a little while longer.

“Gonna have some fun with you before we gut ‘ya and leave you on Thomas Shelbys door step.” The younger man smirked pulling out a pen knife. (Y/n) had a small pistol on her hip in a holder under her dress Just she had no way of getting to it without him doing at least a little damage with the knife first. Her heart was beating a million miles an hour. “Please I just want to go home, I have nothing to do with the shelbys, if I did I wouldn’t be alone this late would I?” She begged looking at the men with wide eyes.

“Your fiancé Michael Shelby, he drew up the contracts my brother came to sign. We don’t know who pulled the trigger that killed our kin. But it was a dirty Shelby and now we’re her to take from them what they took from us.” The younger man stepped closer pressing the cold blade to (y/n)s cheek. The elder man chuckled “Family.”

It happened so quickly that (y/n) didn’t have chance to react before her face was slammed into the wall and she was pressed against it her dress bunches up in the small of her back. Theo used the knife to cut her underwear off while the elderly man held (y/n) still.

Beginning to sob as she felt the man touch her her body went numb. She felt sick but she knew once he was done she would have a chance to grab her gun. The scream she let out as he entered her was muffled by the dirty mans hand. It stunk of tobacco and filth. It went on for a few moments (y/n) just crying and trying to get away as he slammed into her sending her forcefully into the wall with each thrust.

Slowly she managed to slip her hand down her front, she knew Theo had a knife but she hadn’t seen the old man with a weapon. She used her free hand to grab the small pistol and looked down at her feet seeing Theo’s feet behind hers.

With a quick ‘please god’ she fired hitting him in the foot forcing him backward as soon as the grip on her loosened she span around and put a bullet between Theo’s eyes and another in he pleading old mans chest. Sobbing and covered in the men’s blood she dropped the gun stumbling backwards. Her face was scraped and bloody from being hit off the wall along with her arms and hands. Her cream dress and coat soaking with blood spatter.

She needed Michael and she needed him now. Limping out of the ally she looked up at the moon and cursed the stars. Just as she got to the doors of the garrison she heard the bell ring for last orders. She pushed open the door feeling numb now, everyone turned to look at her, they froze. Everyone knew who she was, Michaels girl. A Shelby.

Harry ran to the back room as soon as he caught sight of the poor girl. “Mr Gray! Mr Shelby, quickly it’s (y/n)” he shouted threw the hatch. “Everyone Out!” Harry called loudly.

The door to the back room opened the men running out Michael in front, each of them freezing as they saw her. “Michael.” She hiccuped her knees giving out, he caught her just in time. Sitting with her. The brothers stood around looking distraught. Polly came out Next and gasped pushing threw them to drop down Next to her son and soon to be daughter in law.

“What happened love? What fucking happened?!” Michael asked checking her over ripping at her clothes checking the blood wasn’t hers. Relaxing when he saw it wasn’t. “The Italians.” She cried into his chest clawing at his shirt to get closer to him. “Tommy” Michale growled ready to kill. “Theo Changretta, he’s after the Shelby women and children.” They All looked at each other before grabbing their guns.

(Y/n) shook her head. “I killed them. Both in the ally o-on watery lane.” The three brothers were out the door in a second off to clean up the mess. “Mum she’s pregnant the baby.” Michael panicked. Before (y/n) could hear Polly respond. She blacked out.

Michael carried his fiancé to the family home, Polly helped him get her changed, Michael had to leave a couple of times seeing the marks and bruised left on her body. He had to go and breath before he went and put a bullet in the head of every Italian on this side of Birmingham. Once she was cleaned up Michael lay her in their bed sitting next to her.

She didn’t wake until the next morning. “Michael?” She whispered wincing as she tried to move. Everything that had happened the night before came crashing back to her, her breathing picked up and she began to panic. Michael jumped awake at the sound of her voice and was holding her face whispering sweet nothings in seconds. “Okay sweetheart I’m here, we’re home look. You’re safe. I’m never going to let anyone hurt you, I’m so sorry.” She wrapped her arms around him and climbed down into his lap. He sat on the floor with his back against the wall holding her while they both cried.

“I will never leave your side again.” He whispered kissing the top of her head. He was soft with her, gentle touches soft movements, telling her whenever he was going to move his hands. Michael had never seen (y/n) this fragile, it broke him but he knew he had to be strong.

And that’s what he was. Never letting his anger boil over, never letting anyone even raise their voice in the house while she was there. He treated her like a china doll that would break any moment. And that’s just want (y/n) needed for a while. She needed Michael and he gave her all he had.

Heathers 2018

So when I saw @princess-has-a-pen​ post about the new Heathers remake I had to look it up for two reasons:

1. I’m a huge fan of the Movie and Musical and 2. I had to see the fucking horror show that Spike TV was no doubt going to turn it into.

Now Princess asked in their tags the exact same thing I asked myself when I saw the post:

“Why?”

Well friends, strap yourselves in cuz I’m about to take you for a fucking ride.

Why remake Heathers? A movie that has solidified itself as a cult classic for it’s gritty, fucked up story and characters that took pretty much every kid who went to high school in the 80′s (or any time really) life and amped it up to 11?

Cuz the original Heathers is full of 'problematic' things and they can now remake it to be more 'progressive' while snagging a new audiance of younglings who know about Heathers because of the musical.

Now my friends, as I stated before, I love both the movie and the Musical, but as a mature, rational fan over the age of 30, I can look at something I love and point out it’s flaws and believe me, when it comes to the source material, Heathers the Musical is stuffed full of flaws and that creates some problems.

I am pretty sure all the Tumblrinas who idolize ‘Heathers’ have only seen the musical because honestly, the ‘date’ scene where Heather McNamara gets raped in the background would be enough to make them REEEEEE all the way to the fucking bank.

Like legit, she is literally struggling under her date (and not in a fun way) to make him stop and Veronica just fucking leaves her there. We don’t see her get away or anything, so you can only assume that that whole thing didn’t end well, especially given how miserable McNamara is in the movie to begin with.

The Muscial made light of a lot of the grim parts the movie worked to highlight, specifically bullying and suicide and the dangers of giving into pressure and just  being a fucking terrible human being. Not to mention it twisted things in a way that actually reinforced some harmful tropes. Specifically with the two main characters JD and Heather.

JD in the movie is a completely sociopath who physically and mentally abuses Veronica for almost the entire thing and in the Musical they gave him the stereotypical ‘troubled boy who wanted to make the world better but it just got out of hand’ treatment. Like “Oh yeah, he murders three people and tries to blow up a school but his dad’s a jerk and his mommy committed suicide so you can’t blame him! Deep down he’s just a tortured soul who really loves Veronica!”. Spoilers! He doesn’t love Veronica, at least not in any way that should be even entertained as any sort of ‘love’. He and Veronica’s relationship coupled with his ‘sacrifice’ at the end of the play made me cringe extra hard because it felt like it was romanticizing abusive relationships and in all honesty it was. A specific scene from the Musical where I thought they were actually going to address the toxicity of their ‘relationship’ (at the end of the ‘Our Love is God’ musical number where Veronica seems to have a mental break down as she screams ‘Our Love is God’ over and over again as if to drown out the fact that she just assisted in the murder of two people), was brushed under the rug the next scene and seemingly forgotten about till something ELSE big happens and then it’s fucking Ground Hogs Day apparently.

Veronica in the movie joined the Heathers before the movie even began because she wanted to be popular and due to her skill in forgery is pretty much made their pet project. She’s not as much of a cunt as Chandler or Duke but she's still pretty fucking bad. She kills Kurt herself, blows off her actual best friend in exchange for shallow popularity, laughs over Heather Chandler dying and only turns on JD when the suicide note she writes for Heather Chandler backfires and causes people to glorify Chandler as a saint. This as well leads her to realize that it’s pointless to kill people because someone else just takes their place as “The Mythic Bitch” ala Heather Duke’s transformation (also because JD straight up slaps her in the face for trying to back out on him). She only ever does anything semi sweet at the VERY end after JD gets blown up. In the Musical she is portrayed as a sweet innocent little buttercup who is super besties with Martha and sticks up for the little guy and never meant to hurt anyone and was just dragged into everything bad by bad people. She feels constantly guilty for it and seems unable to make any actual choices herself outside of breaking into JD’s house to fuck him. She’s totally innocent guys. Totes.

And before you say “C’moooon it’s a fuckin’ Muscial!” you need to go watch you some Dear Evan Hansen or Les Miserables because those two Musicals are heavy as fuck and had no problem in showing how fucked up serious shit like war and suicide was through flawed characters.

Now with this new series coming out it seems destined to fail. It has only been releasing Instagram videos to promote the show and already it’s hitting all the same old PC points while being SO EDGY at the same time. It’s Riverdale all fucking over again.

“The terrible trio is more like a set of outcasts who have taken over Westerberg High School.” -EW article

Like really? Fuckin’ really? The Heathers were all popular girls due to their wealth (McNamara), beauty (Duke) and over all exuding of confidence and attitude backed up by all of the previously stated assets (Chandler). They weren’t a bunch of outcasts. They took pride in how they looked and how people saw them. I don’t understand this fucking need to make every kid nowadays an ‘outcast’ in an effort to make them ‘relatable’. They did it to every kid in the Power Rangers remake and MJ in Spider-Man: Homecoming and it’s starting to  get fucking annoying. Oh well, gotta get them kids with all that EDGE!

So let’s look at the ‘Heathers’ (I can’t bring myself to not put that in quotation marks when talking about these piles of hot garbage):

Heather Chandler is a plus-sized, Skrillex haired edge lord who looks like every Tumblr Feminist/Suicide Girls reject and literally gives off no aura of power or fear at all. She just comes off as some fat bitch who found the HAAS RadFem movement on Twitter and used it to fill herself with enough undeserved self importance to justify being a cunt to everyone. Yes, where the original Heather Chandler got her power and reputation through sheer intimidation and personality, this Heather Chandler looks like the type of girl who will physically assault you in the bathroom and threaten to sit on you till you die.

Gee golly, I see Heather Duke is a sassy gay male now (and a white one at that). Wow, it’s not like that hasn’t been done a billion fucking times. Funny that he’s a white dude whose character in the movie and play turns out to capitalize on Heather Chandler’s death to raise their own status to the ‘queen bitch’ of the school. That’ll do GREAT for gay stereotypes I’m sure.

Aaaaand Heather McNamara, our possibly Asian possibly Latinx butprobably just party bag of mixed race token character who is the literal punching bag of the group. At least that seems to have not changed but I am sure it’ll help add shallow sympathy since now it’s not a bunch of white kids beating up on a little white girl, it’s a bunch of white kids beating up on a little minority girl. Goodie goodie.

The rest:

JD literally gets nothing to show from his video except one speaking line where he is telling Veronica that she’s “Not like Heather Chandler” she’s “better” while quick cutting a bunch of random shots from the show that mostly seem pointless and just confusing with one flash of him apparently running the flat of a knife on his palm behind his back? So we get nothing from our poor, tortured sociopath. I can just hear the producers of this show now: “We can’t show him being too soft or the old fans might not watch it and can’t show him being a psychotic asshole or the Musical fans won’t watch it, so make it just as cluster fucking and confusing as possible so no one will ask questions and just be drawn in with all the cheap visual click bait!”

For Veronica we again get nothing. One line of “Dear Diary, I hate my friends but that doesn’t mean I want them DEAD!” followed by more random cuts of shots from the show, many of bloody scenes and hints of violence but a lot more of just weird confusing scenes that make no sense. It’s kind of funny for the sheer reason that they seem to be banking on people just already knowing who these characters are ala the original movie but at the same time are trying to pull in new audience members with all the vague quick cutting which they seem to have mistaken for ‘mystery’.

And last  but not least, we have Betty Finn. What’s that? “Who if Betty Finn?” all you fans of the Musical ask? Well you wouldn’t know who Betty is unless you watched the MOVIE cuz Betty is who Martha Dump Truck replaced in the Musical because Betty wasn’t fucking sad sacky enough and they didn’t want to clutter the script with such a minor character. Betty was smart and an actual good person, the only good person in the movie honestly, who was Veronica’s friend since they were in diapers. She didn’t have a huge part in the movie outside of providing some blackmail material for JD to use against Heather Duke and trying to get Veronica to stop being such a moron (which failed). Now she’s appears to be the stereotypical side character that will be prominent in the show, probably as a comic relief character or plot device to be used against Veronica at some point.

Now, there is a huge question you have to ask:

Where is Martha? Will Martha even be in the series? Alright, it’s two questions but you get the point.

I have two guesses;

1. Possibly

but more than likely

2. No. Absolutely not.

Why do you ask? Because Martha’s character served as a plot device in both the Movie and the Musical to show how awful the Heathers really were and how their bullying was actually dangerous. Martha was a fat, slow, ugly dump of a girl. Problem is, you can’t make fun of that anymore. It’s not ‘progressive’ to make fun of people with those flaws. As well it wouldn’t make sense, Heather Chandler is fat in this remake. Unless they’re going to go full retard with some kind of ‘internalized fatphobia’ shit it wouldn’t make sense to make fun of Martha for that. Heather McNamara is the stereotypical ditzy airhead which doesn’t seem to have changed in this remake so to make fun of someone being ‘slow’ while laughing at an Air-Head-of-Color would just be super duper mean!

If they DO put Martha in, she will either have to still be dumpy, slow and fat and end up being the most popular character in the end for ‘not giving into societies beauty standards’ or some shit, OR she will have to actually flat out die from her suicide attempt to push the EDGE and drive plot.

Either way this whole thing is going to be a train wreck that will either take off at the idiotic rate in which Teen Wolf and Riverdale did or be an utter failure.

I seriously hope for the latter. Sorry this is so long and there are probably some spelling and grammar errors. It’s literally 2:30 in the morning and the Monster I drank is starting to ware off so I’m running on fumes.
