#I know I know cringe is dead I agree but also we are making fun of ourselves here that should be allowed

[repurposedmeatlocker]

What is the cringiest fandom you’ve ever partaken in for a good extended period of time?

[astronnova]

cringe is dead right? anyway made up some danny phantom ocs. say hi to carly and carla, aka lee and la. do you get it? because the vampiress carmilla? do you get it? do you get the joke. do you ge- [gets shot]

i wanted to combine some of my favorite tropes for these two. i looove battle twins in media especially when they're side characters. like the twins from the book of life or something. i love battle maids/battle nuns too so. theres that. i also thought that they'd make some fun minions of vlad's. anyway heres a lot of headcanons and their story. to me. in my head.

instead of vlad's estate being a literal castle, to go with his vampire and gothic themeing instead i thought it would be badass as hell if he lived in a refurbished cathedral. he's over the top enough for it.

lee and la were twins who werent the best people, tho certainly not the worst, kind of middle of the road, when they eventually joined the church and became nuns to turn their lives around. though their old lives catch up to them and they're murdered in the church one night. their deaths causes the cathedral to be condemned and abandoned. a couple decades later, the dairy king buys the property and refurbishes it into a manor that he lives in until he passes, which is then where vlad steps in

vlad's a powerful ghost, and the way im assuming haunting works is that powerful ghosts claim territory to.... haunt yknow? dannys having territory spats with other ghosts because amity is his home/haunt, that kind of thing lol. so vlad's already OP as hell, by the time he's become rich enough to buy the manor he's highly respected as a millionaire and highly feared as plasmius (the wisconsin ghost? he probably has a cool moniker people use LOL). im sure vlad had no problem forcefully expelling ghosts from his territory and.... destroying them? second killing? who knows man lol afterlife makes that difficult to explain.

vlad makes quick work of getting rid of any ghosts that try to stay in the manor the second he moves in. lee and la arent the most powerful ghosts in the area, but they are the most prominent since their murder caused a lot of folklore to surround the church, and theyre the most attached to it and dont want to leave it behind.

they're also scared enough of plasmius that i imagine they just cry and beg and grovel at vlads feet begging him to let them stay and they'll do anything. vlad atp i feel would do all of the "dirty work" himself when it comes to ghost stuff, so he thinks maybe they wouldnt be so bad to take on as errand girls. so he does, he lets them stay under the condition they do whatever he tells them to whenever he says. they agree instantly

vlad in the show is def not above manipulating, threatening, or paying off others to do dirty work for him, so i think itd be cool or smth to have lee and la be the ones that were first added to the plasmius payroll. and then the buzzards, and the others, etc.

itd be funny i think that they're reoccuring side kicks that are this mix of like. team rocket but not as incompetent, but they are kind of goofy. they annoy the hell out of vlad when he's near them though, which has become more often since i think to pass them off to other people he'd act like they're his secretaries or something. or like their job and relation towards vlad changes everytime we see them like how team rocket always have different disguises LOOOL. tho they prob have to cover up more and stuff to not look... yknow... dead. i like to think ppl in danny phantom can be more or less sensitive to spiritual stuff, so the more sensitive you are the more lee and la would cause your creep factor to go off.

so for bitter reunions they probably dont do much except protect the buzzard ghosts for phantom and then skedaddle when plasmius shows up to fight him. they probably act as vlads "hired help" for throwing the reunion and jack makes a horrible first impression on both of them somehow. idk i just think itd be really funny if they hated jack and maddie HAHA.

idk to me vlad has a "scar and the hyenas" from the lion king vibe with them. hes like "god im surrounded by idiots" everytime he hears them speak

though i guess one important thing to note is that theyre Not his daughters! the whole point with these two is to emphasize the fact that plasmius is lonely. danny has two friends that, despite danny's immense power, are all equal. they love eachother, look out for eachother and care for eachother no matter what. lee and la may liven up the room whenever they're around, but they're ultimately scared of vlad and stick around for their own sake. over the years they've probably come to like him some, but they're still driven by fear. they're not equals, theyre underlings.

@pansypinetree said Shane has a camera, Sam and Sebastian get freaky, and then I got possessed.

Here's the outcome.

Light, Camera, Actions

"You're the only guy with a good camera"

"You'd do us a solid."

"I can only ask you man, y'know"

Grumbling to himself, digging into his closet, Shane pulls out a big gray bag, and sigh. The fuck did I agree to this for. he thinks, opening the soft bag. Everything is still there. His old camera, two batteries, empty tapes…

He presses on the faded on button, hoping it would either break, or shows that the battery's dead, that the lens is fucked up, anything really.

No, it dings and works like a charm. All those years sleeping in his closet with everything else from his past, and it dares work like a fucking charm.

Shane groans, replacing everything in the bag and hauling it on his shoulder. Despite being all innocent-like, Sam definitely knows how to play him like a fiddle and Shane hates that, or rather, hates to admit that he got used.

But there he was, on his way up to the mountain at an ungodly hour, for a favor. Now, to give the kid some credit, he did hound Shane for days, if not weeks. From the day he learned he had a camera. A professional one at that. And the know how. "We can't use a stationary camera, man, that's not the vibe we want." Bloody hell, what was he even meaning by "vibe"? It's not like these type of stuff needs any kind of…directional input, a storyboard, a scenario, a stagehand and whatnot.

Not like Shane was shy about the stuff. He clearly had watched his share. And none of them seemed to have had any work or thought put into it. The idea, and end goal, was pretty clear, wouldn't take a genius to film, cut, edit. Put some nice ambient light, prepare different angle shots, make sure the axis of action is respected… If he still had access to all the props he had back at uni he could also plan some nice boom shots…

What the fuck is he thinking now… Sam and Sebastian asked him to film their… Ugh. Love making, not prepare the next Mysterium.

Walking up the the mountain's house, Shane is met with the smell of smoke.

"Told you he'd come." He hears a loud whisper, followed by a groan. "Hey man!" Sam's voice rise from the dark bushes. Next to him, the red smoking dot of his boyfriend's cigarette.

"Mh" Shane only replies, replacing the heavy bag on his shoulder. He looks away in the distance, the dark path stretching in front of him, then turns to the house. All lights are off. "So, erm" He starts, not looking at any of them. "Where d'you want that?" He cringes at his words, sounding like the start of the most corny ass porno in the world. Why on Yoba's third tit did he accepts to do this in the first place.

"Sebby's room." The blond replies, enthusiastically, pulling on Sebastian's black sleeve. "Thanks bud, you're the only one we can ask to do something like that."

"Yeah, so you said." Shane clears his throat, almost tempted to ask why, if not that he's the only pathetic patsy a hundred miles around.

"You're the only one who knows we're a couple, after all."

"I'm, wha-?"

"Cm'on Sebby." Sam pulls on his boyfriend again, cigarette now done and thrown on the ground. "It's gonna be fun."

Shane stays in the back as they walk towards the dark house. He watches them hold hands, Sam even resting his head on Sebastian's shoulder. What did he mean, nobody else knows they're a couple? It seemed so obvious? Frankly you had to be blind, or stupid, not to see the incessant swooning and flirting and…everything. Surely people in Pelican Town weren't that oblivious…Or bigoted?

Nah. They were just blind.

Sebastian unlocks the door, and signs at Shane to keep quiet as he makes them walk in the house. Come to think of it, that was the first time he'd ever set foot in the house up the mountain. It was as huge inside as it was outside. And clean. Damn. So clean.

As they walk down to the basement, Shane is hit by a mix of scent. The tobacco, ambery undertone, laced with moss and musk, yeah, that's Sebastian's bedroom alright.

The room is definitely messier than the rest of the house, and could benefit from an open window, but Shane really isn't one to judge anyway, as he considers his own room.

Sebastian closes the door behind him and Sam, locking them in. Shane gulps, he knows it's to avoid anyone barging in. And yet.

Shane lets the bag flops off his shoulder and onto the floor. He crouches in front of it, getting the equipment ready, rediscovering his lenses and the way they used to feel in his hands.

"Right." He starts, clearing his throat. "What's the occasion 'nyway? Have some functions on this thing." He jokes.

"Been together for five years…" Sam admits, looking at Sebastian who finally smiles. "Thought it'd be a cute thing."

A cute thing? Shane would laugh if he wasn't taken aback by the statement. Five fucking years? And even their parents have no clue? Bloody hell.

"Woah, that's, uh. Yeah." He mumbles, standing up, heavy camera in his arms.

"Was Seb's idea actually." Sam adds.

"Saw you film that commercial thing." Sebastian finally opens his mouth. "Looked like you knew what you were doing. Plus when we learned the camera was actually yours, y'know." He stretches, before reaching in his pocket for another cigarette.

"Sebby…"

Quickly, Sebastian shoves the pack back in his hoodie's pocket as Shane chuckles. Right, they really are an old couple

"Right." Shane repeats, propping the camera up on his shoulder with a groan. "Suppose we don't have all night. Any specific angle you want? Or, like, light? I guess if we put a cloth on that lamp over there that'd be a nice softbox."

"A what? Man, you do know your stuff." Sam laughs.

Sebastian guides his blond boyfriend to the bed to let him sit. He then turns to Shane.

"Nothing too fancy, really." He says quite matter of factly. "As long as we can see Sammy take it" He growls towards Sam who, at Shane's surprise, blushes.

"Sure." Shane clears his dry throat. "Any objections on angles?"

"What do you even mean, dude?" Sam laughs.

"Y'know, eye level, medium shot, close up, full shot…"

"Oh there will be full shots alright." Sebastian grins, laughing at Shane's blush. "Come on man, just… Do what feels right?"

"Yer the one wantin a damn cameraman." He grunts, stretching his shoulder under the camera.

"Just do what Seb said, what feels right, yeah?" Sam's voice oddly sweet still reaches Shane who eventually relaxes his shoulders, exhaling loudly. "We don't want you to be uncomfortable doing it. We're thankful you agreed."

"We really are." Sebastian chimes in, sitting down next to his boyfriend.

"Yeah. Yeah, no, sure." Shane rambles, getting the camera ready and back on his shoulder. "W-whenever you're ready…"

He watches through the lens as Sebastian grab Sam's jaw, his thumb on his cheek, his slender fingers bringing him closer to his face into a kiss. Rather quickly, they seem to forget the camera pointed at them, or the out of place intruder behind it. Their lips meet in a sensual embrace from the get go, hungry, without any shame, finding each other tongue, filling the empty room with the wet sounds of their groans in their mouths.

Shane opts for a medium close up he pans into a medium shot. He fills his mind with the terms he learned back then. He has to.

As he switches to a cowboy shot, Sebastian places his hand on Sam visible bulge, and without a second thought, the zipper flies open. Shane slowly zooms on the fabric, lingering on the wet patch twitching with Sam's head. As he pans out, Seb's hand comes into shot, stroking Sam's length, tugging on the fabric, revealing Sam's cock poking through the elastic band.

Coming back to a wide shot (as wide as the bedroom allows him) Shane steadies his camera as Sebastian pushes Sam on his back, getting rid of his jeans and boxers, his lengthy cock bouncing back on his firm stomach. "Been ready for a while, Sammy?" Seb teases.

Shane had never really heard the carpenter's son utters more than two words, and they were always low and disdainful. Right now they were falling out of his mouth like whipped cream, sweet and floaty like a lusty candy cloud. "Good boy, getting all ready and excited for me."

Sam nods fiercely, his cock twitching at the praise.

Fuck, Shane really hopes his mic is catching everything. The sighs, the low exhales from both of them, the honeyed voice from the enamored broody man he never paid any attention. Before.

He settles for an eye level shot, softly crouching next to the bed, his lens focusing on Sebastian's mouth climbing Sam's strong thighs, his blond hairs raising, his skin trembling. With a grin, he lets his tongue roll out, shine taking the camera to reveal a piercing he uses to tease the blond one. Panning out, Shane catches just in time Sam's head falling backward as Sebastian takes him in his mouth.

"Sebby!"" He cries out, fisting his dark hair, helping him up and down his girthy length. Sebastian softly hums, grinning, Sam entirely in his mouth, before releasing him in a loud 'pop', and taking him again slowly.

Sebastian's slender fingers on Sam's hips, holding him into place as he writhes slowly, moving against Seb's mouth who is plastering his face against the blond curly hairs, suppressing wet gagging noises as Shane hears himself whisper a soft "fuck".

Placing himself on Sebastian's side of the bed, Shane focuses the camera on his working fingers grazing down Sam's hips to reach his thighs, sliding down to cup his tightening sack, slowly getting his fingers on the underside, making Sam arch. Shane slides behind the bed to get a shot as Sebastian point of view, watching Sam's reactions to his treatment, getting everything recorded.

Sebastian grabs Sam's cock, his other fingers still working between his legs. "You're gonna be a good boy for me now, Sammy?" He says in between breaths, stroking him at the pace of his mouth previously around him. "Be a good boy and cum for me, mh?".

With a whimper, Sam starts sputtering, ropes lacing his stomach and his sculpted chest in his sweet release, as Seb praises him more. "That's very good, my Sammy, so good." Seb whispers, not stopping his bullying on Sam's begging length, or tender skin.

Shane places himself back near the bed, capturing everything he can, trying to do everything he can not to think about the tightness of his own pants.

Without letting Sam recovers, Seb lifts him up, getting him on his knees, finally getting rid of his hoodie and his own jeans.

Shane adjusts the camera, getting Seb's whole body in the shot, his pale skin against the darker complexion of the blond one, the shine of his pierced nipples reflecting in the lens, and his now finally freed cock, hard and raised against Sam presenting buttocks.

"Make sure to get that." Seb says directly to Shane who jumps. He nods, obeying, focusing on Sam who's still panting, his shining cock still drooling from Seb's treatment.

Shane hears the soft clicks of a bottle opening and closing. He looks at Seb without moving the camera from Sam. Warming up his hands, he slowly caresses Sam's rear who arches up. "Good boy…" Seb repeats, inserting a finger slowly, circling on his way in, preparing Sam with such tenderness.

Shane now feels himself throbbing, begging to be let out. He bites his lip, ashamed, and takes a deep breath.

"Sammy, I think your fireproof cameraman has some issues." Seb snarks, leaning against Sam who turns his red face to Shane becoming redder, staying silent, camera still rolling.

Sam's smile almost reaches his ears. "Well, Shaney? Being a bit shy?"

Fuck, now his name is on the tape.

He slowly shakes his head, making sure the camera stays still, but they're both having none of it. He respects the first rule of camera handling, not being seen nor heard.

"An anniversary present…" Shane hears Seb whispers to Sam who opens wide eyes.

"You mean it?" He replies back.

"If he's happy with that." Seb nods towards Shane who takes a step back. "Don't be shy, Shaney" he grins, "We gotta take care of that one way or the other right? We're the ones to blame after all."

Seb climbs down the bed, walking towards Shane with such authority, such intent, his slender body almost made for the camera.

"Come on, Shane. We won't hurt you. Unless that's what you're into." He winks straight at the lens. "Y'know Sam has quite the crush on you, right?"

"Seb!"

Shane just blinks repeatedly. Well, he was the oblivious one clearly.

"I think that would make that five years mark really special to him if you join us." Seb continues, a shit eating grin on his face. Shane doesn't move, panting, stuck between the wall and Seb, only the camera and his damn erection between them.

With a laugh, Sebastian reaches to Shane's bulge. "Who knew Joja shelves' stackers was hiding such a package."

Fuck Shane thinks without moving or removing Seb's hand from his crotch. He was supposed to only film, nothing else, not getting involved. That's all he had agreed to, back then. Back then.

The tiniest nod is enough for Seb to kneel in front of him, unbuckling his belt. He chuckles, his lips nipping at the imprint of Shane's cock against his boxers.

"You'll love it." Sam chimes in. "Sebby is amazing with his mouth…" He almost drools, stroking his sensitive dick.

Shane continues filming, setting the camera on for a high angle shot, taking as much as he can of Seb's face against his growth, breathing heavily, impatient.

"Look how hard he is, Sammy, just by watching us. Now, you watch us Sammy, ok?" He whispers to his boyfriend, releasing Shane's cock of his underwear he lets fall at his feet. "Holy shit Sammy look at this."

Shane groans, what was the little punk doing, making fun of him? He hears Sam gasps, his eyes widening on Shane's girth who barely has time to register both their amazement as Seb licks his shaft in one swift lap before surrounding his head and slowly gliding down to his curls.

Fuck Sam was right, Seb is amazing with his mouth. So much so that Shane almost drops the camera. But he keeps it steady on his shoulder, making sure he's still capturing Sebastian wet and shiny lips around his cock.

He feels his pierced tongue on his skin, his hand surrounding him, touching him like he's never been touched before. Like he's not been touched in Yoba knows how long.

Shane lifts the camera to Sam, alone on the bed, licking his lips as he strokes himself, watching his boyfriend pleasuring another man with his knowing mouth.

"You've got no idea how many times I've thought about your cock, man." The blond one says in one breath, making Shane gasps involuntarily, a not quite whimper escaping his lips. Surely he couldn't mean that.

Was that what he was expecting tonight? The true reason behind their "camera" needs?

Damn if Shane cared at all in this moment.

"That made him twitch" Seb laughs, before applying his lips around Shane again, letting him rest against his throat before releasing him one more time. "I think he likes the idea, Sammy."

What fucking idea now.

Beaming, Sam climbs down the bed walking towards Shane. "Relax, now." He says softly. "Let me know if this is too far."

Too far? Was he having a laugh? His bloody boyfriend was pumping him at this very moment!

But the blond one takes the camera off Shane's hand and places it on the bedside table, facing them, before grabbing his head and softly applying his lips on his. Shane doesn't move, wincing at the pleasure Seb inflicts on him. Sam kisses him again, a shy peck on his open lips. And again, with more intent, deepening the kiss in a breathless moan, until Shane grabs him with a groan, finding his tongue, melting into his smiling lips.

Shane now has Sebastian lips around his cock, Sam lips sucking in his tongue, playing with his own.

The younger one undo Shane's hoodie, placing his warm hands on his soft belly, finding his fast beating heart in his hairy chest.

Shane could feel himself tightening, the overwhelming sensations of Sam lips against his, Seb mouth taking him whole, and Sam now stepping closer to him, his own cock hardening again against his thighs.

Softly, Shane raises his hand to surround him, making him gasp. "Shane…" He whispers between his lips. That's enough, too much even, and Shane explodes, fisting Seb's long dark hair, pushing Sam's mouth into his, his rows of cum shooting against Seb's throat, his head still bobbing up and down.

"Fuck!" Shane nearly shouts, pulling Sam's face away, forcing Seb to stop, grabbing the wall behind him to stay steady. "F-fuck…"

Seb stands back up, shiny lips extended in a grin, cum and saliva slowly dripping down his chin. "You're ready?" He asks his boyfriend who nods. Sam extends his arm to Shane, his vision a blurry mess, his high not quite gone yet, not even sure of what happened, but Yoba it felt beyond amazing.

Shane lets Sam guide him to the bed, where he starts softly kissing him again. "There's something I'd…really…really…like to do…to you…" He says, expecting Shane to bolts up and leave. Instead, the older one grabs Sam again, letting him fall into his lips.

"Ok…" Shane answers in a raspy voice. "Ok." He repeats, still finding his breath, but his senses now back.

On this answer, Seb hands Sam a bottle and a condom, before pushing Shane on the bed. "So, you're the good boy now, right?" Seb smirks.

"Fuck off." Shane replies, still twitching at the…unseemly…praise?

Seb laughs, watching Shane arching and jolting as Sam slowly prepares him. "Sorry if it's cold…" the blond one murmurs almost adoringly.

"I think you're being a good boy." Seb repeats, caressing his own length he guides toward Shane. "And while my Sammy takes care of you, you're gonna take care of me."

Of all the things that could have happened when he accepted this stupid thing, Shane had no idea this is how he would spend his evening. Filled with cocks and reveling in it.

Pressing himself against Shane raised legs, Sam slowly insert himself in Shane. And Shane squirms, softly, wincing, biting his lip, rolling his eyes. "Oh fuck…" he whispers.

"Sebby…" Sam reaches for Seb's hand he grabs tightly. "Sebby he feels so good…"

"That's great Sammy…Show him…Show him how good you are. And you, turn your head." Shane obeys, sweat already beading on his forehead, Sam thrusting inside him, Seb's length now against his tongue. "I knew you'd be a good boy too." Seb continues, his hips moving against Shane's face who is nothing but grunts, growls, and whimpers. "Fuck you're bloody right, he feels good, the bastard."

Shane takes both younger ones, his body veiled with sweat, his stomach and hairs covered with cum, his hardening cock bouncing on the soft skin, subject to their cocks and them joining into an awkward kiss as they both work in him, holding each other hands.

"Happy anniversary." Seb whispers, concealing a moan, resting against Shane's throat.

"Happy… anniversary…" Sam chimes back with difficulty. "Fuck Sebby I'm gonna cum."

"You better be taking everything." Seb commands down to Shane with gritted teeth who, really, couldn't refuse anything, drunk on cocks and sensation he thought out of grasp for so long. But he nods, closing his eyes, Seb coming in his mouth as he explodes on himself, followed by Sam's loud whimpers, soft high pitched pleased noises filling the room. Fuck Shane was now finding him cute, his flushed cheeks surrounding his mouth curved in a expression of pure bliss. Yoba he really hopes all this is caught on camera, making a mental note to make two copies.

Shane swallows all before gasping for air, Sam sweaty body falling on him, searching for his lips. "Thanks, man" He whispers between kisses. What is Shane even supposed to say, or even do?

He thread his hand through Sam's hair, watching Seb walking towards the camera to turn it off. He imagines now that his welcome has wore out. But Sam doesn't move.

With wide eyes, he looks at Seb placing both of them under the blanket. "He always falls asleep pretty quickly afterward." He explains. "Sure you don't mind staying, do you?" He places himself next to Shane on the bed, not waiting for an answer. With a smile, he pushes a strand of wild hair off Shane's sweaty forehead. "Thanks, man" He echoes his boyfriend. "When he wakes up, just gently nudge him to the side. He's a cuddler. But judging by how you're grabbing him I don't think that's a problem for you." He punctuates by kissing Shane, then kissing his boyfriend's forehead, inviting himself in Shane open's arm, both drifting off as peacefully as Sam did.

What is the “Law of Opposing Powers” and how can it level up your scenes?

Writing can be a really tough nut to crack. Readers should find every single scene interesting and be glued till the end, and let’s be honest—that’s not an easy thing to do.

With the rise of TikTok—to be honest, I don't know if we can blame TikTok or not, but since it’s banned in my country, it’s fun—readers need something interesting all the damn time. Like, you can't have a scene where your characters are just messing around, y’know. You need to move the story forward, or at least present a sort of conflict to the readers.

The readers should always have something to look forward to as the scene plays out. Is it because of their low attention span? Or, were the readers always like that? I don't really have an answer to that question. But, like I said, blaming TikTok is fun, so that’s all I’m gonna say.

Anyway, how do you solve this issue? How do you make sure each scene keeps your readers glued, even if it doesn't really push the story forward?

The answer to your woes, my friends, is the Law of Opposing Powers. (im sorry the name is so damn cringe but i jus came back from jim what else can u expect?)

***

#01. Character versus Character

So, what is this Law of Opposing Powers?

It’s simple, actually: you just need to have opposite powers at play in your scene. Let me explain.

Let’s suppose that there’s a scene where two characters are discussing something. Let’s say… they’ve just had a near-death experience and are discussing how they could have lost their lives in it. The scene is set; how do you make it interesting now?

One direct way is that you might let your characters agree on the issue, y’know. All of them say how it was actually really dangerous, and that the consequences would have been deadly. But, this scene won’t really be interesting to the readers.

Give your characters different opinions. Don't let one of them be the yes-man, y’know. Both of your characters should, firstly, have something to add to the discussion, and secondly, should have different opinions. That’s what you call opposing powers.

Let’s say that one of the characters isn’t really all that serious about it. He’s like: alright, we might have lost their lives, whatever. But, however, the other one is dead serious about it, and is trying to explain to him how bad the results could have been. Probably let a third character be completely dismissive; he’s like: ah, what nonsense, we’d have never lost our lives.

Now, you have opposite powers in your scene. Now your scene is ready to be written and presented to the readers.

This discussion might not push the story forward in a literal sense, y’know, but it has a really important part to play: showing a part of each character. This law, therefore, also helps you show differences between your characters and their attitudes.

***

#02. Setting

However, as you would have guessed, it’s not always possible. You can’t let your characters argue with each other all the damn time, y’know. That just doesn't make sense. And what if the characters in question are good friends, or have similar attitudes? What do you do then?

Well, guys, this is where I show you another application of my law of opposing powers.

The thing is: the opposing powers shouldn't have to be your characters’ opinions all the damn time. You can add something more.

For example, let’s suppose your character is in enemy territory. They wanna penetrate deeper inside, but don't know how to. Here’s another pair of opposing powers: your character and their setting.

Yeah, your setting can act as an opposing power too. A scene where the character is struggling—or not struggling, doesn't matter—to know more about the setting means that the setting is a power they need to overcome, y’know. This is how most adventure-fantasy stories remain interesting—exploring the settings plays an important part in these stories.

***

#03. An Easier Way

Well, if you’ve grasped the concept—which I believe most of my students must have by now—you might be wondering how you are even gonna use it. It seems like it’s a tough nut to crack, right? To think about a scene so damn much…

But it doesn't have to be this tough. It doesn't have to be this draining. While writing this blog, I realized that there’s another way that I can use to teach you the Law of Opposing Powers. And that’s through conflict.

Now, stay with me here. I think you all must know what a conflict is, but if you don't, let’s go back to the basics. How do you create a character-arc? You give them a goal, a motive, and a conflict. You can also give your characters several goals, motives, and definitely many conflicts, but for simplicity, let’s assume we give our character just a single goal, a single motive to achieve it, and a single conflict.

Now, what’s a conflict? It’s the opposing power—something that’s stopping your character from achieving their goal. But, it’s a macro-level thing—you unfold the characters’ conflict through several scenes and acts, not just a single one.

For this, I’d urge you to give each scene a micro-level conflict. It doesn't really exist—I made this up. A micro-level conflict is a conflict that resolves within the said scene.

You can see the difference between the characters’ opinions as a micro-level conflict for your main character. Or even exploring a setting can act as one.

***

#04. Application

You might feel that it’s still a tough thing to implement in your writing. And you’re right: adding a micro-level conflict in each scene might be tough. But, if you wanna make it easier, I can give you a little trick.

For each scene, ask yourself what the purpose of the scene is. Why is the scene here? What’s it doing?

Knowing the purpose of your scene can really help bring forward the opposing powers that your scene may hold. Now, all you have to do now is to polish them and make them shine. Easy peasy.

And, if your scene doesn't have a purpose, give it one. Before beginning each scene, you can just define what you want out of this scene. How it’s gonna end. Defining all that would really level up your writing.

***

#05. Conclusion

I hope the Law of Opposing Powers would help you guys in your writing. I came up with this idea when I was discussing about writing with a friend of mine.

Man, discussions about writing with other writers can really help you gain some insights, y’know. Even I don't know how I reached this idea—I just did. And probably this is the magic of talking about writing.

That’s why I’d never stop yapping about writing.

Anyway, that’s it from my side. See you guys later!

Hey I'm actually friends with Krimson Graey and I just want to let you know that you're defending a fake fallout modder and a fake fallout fan and a fake gamer. AshfallDude/The Dude is not a real fallout fan, he's a parasite who sexually abused Krimson for no reason.

The Mod Author who cried "Woke"

The definitive edition of a tragic tale on Allout Monte's Icarus Complex.

Today... has not been a very good week, I'm not gonna lie. Maybe a little worse than how they usually go that also goes far beyond botched scheduling. I could go on with what the last couple of days would've looked like, originally trapped in a doomer realm. But thanks for the said last couple of days and a snap back, I can say that I definitely have a much bigger outlook on this whole ordeal because unlike him, I at least get to solve more problems that don't end with schizo alts, AI alts, and impersonation alts.

Now, of course, I am talking about Allout Monte.

Which agreeably, has been an eyesore for the last couple of days, but an eyesore worth having sacrificed because Allout Monte has been my personal crash course on to how Schizophrenic is as Schizophrenic gets. So much so of an eyesore that even Tumblr kinda had to agree with it as a specific group who definitely isn't illegally impersonating a Mod Project dead and defunct by their own hands and definitely not owned by Allout Monte, mass report all of my stuff and then proceed to stalk, dox, and even blackmail into "submission." Which is totally fun by the way.

(that is most definitely sarcasm, there are literal much more ways worse than stalking doxing and blackmail that I'd rather wish upon.)

Now, if you are a newfound newcomer who now has the honorable dishonor of seeing the words "Allout Monte" on the screen being read to you by a voice who is also not as thrilled about this as you are... today's your lucky day. Because this will mark the release of the definitive edition of Allout Monte, what you need to know, what he has done, what he can do, what he stole, and why never listening to him will be the best thing in anyone's life right now actually whether it'd be fans or regs. So if you're down for that great, if not, this is your one and only warning that cringe is coming. As we put together the ultimate timeline of Allout Monte and bring together the unfortunate self reporting narrative of the goofy goober who cried "Woke!"

So, in terms of the chronological order ranked by the need to knows and catch up games this is what happened:

It first starts off with the Fallout: New Vegas Mod "Fallout: Ashfall" a work in progress originally in the hands of several other people that did get salad tossed around by a handful of founders and creators for varying reasons. It eventually got to a group lead by AshfallDude and a bundle of other people participating. One day, Allout Monte who was the former member alongside one or two other people come together to try and make promotionals... for a mod that was not even prepped for previewing yet. It was heavily frowned upon at that time and despite it being such, they released it anyways, got in trouble, greatly ratio'd for it- because obviously, the dumbest thing you can do with an unfinished product is start promotionals over development while simultaniously misleading your audience.

For actual normal people this is where it would usually end, but no, we're not talking about normal people here. Monte was kicked for inactivity on top of the insubordination and instead of asking himself when and where "This action will have consequences" started showing... Allout Monte threw a temper tantrum, started an entire Hate Campaign one sided, and directed all of that towards AshfallDude- albeit such said one-sided hate campaign was partially successful since AshfallDude did end up stepping down during this process, however, did not come at such great costs. One example provided being Fallout: Ashfall purely dead in the water as the devs and leads dodge the responsibilty of enabling the situation in the first place, and cringefully convincing themselves that keeping this flop going with drama clout is the sole thing keeping Fallout: Ashfall alive.

Thank you for that bit, Cellblock Psycho.

On top of unwittingly killing off their own project, Allout Monte himself would later be exposed and found out to be running an entire alternative account that uses AI and AI Generated Content to make all these pieces regarding AshfallDude and the Fallout: Ashfall Group. He was in fact, so exposed, that he had forgotten livestreams existed.

Ever since then he had gotten on to schizo rant, on to schizo rant, upon schizo alts, upon schizo alts. Swearing up and down the Vatican that Allout Monte (the schizo alts) was the hero of the story and is in no way the aggravator, culprit, criminal any of that.

Despite every other person that's been within 50 miles of his stank aura for longer than 4 seconds telling you otherwise.

So that's the summary/basics of the thing, but this is where the definitive documentary starts.

Because today, I want to give you the full history, the true story of Allout Monte. (and to some extent, Krimson Graey.)

Every theft.

Every threat.

Every lie.

Every flaw and downfall.

Every. Canon Event that made Allout Monte, Allout Monte. And just wrap up the series finale of Allout Monte with this special episode. For those willing to stay to hear all of that, let us begin.

Rigged from the start

Normally, this would not be my place to bring up something like this, but considering one of the recent set of unfortunate events involved Allout and his gang who stalked and doxed an Archive Channel's Co-Worker, it's only fair that we start off with a punishment that fits the crime. And that's discovering the bitter reality that I always had a hunch was true long before the hate campaign for Ashfall started, and even longer before. And that starts off with personal life.

Originally, I had no idea about Allout's personal life. I had no intentions of ever seeing if I could discover some semblance of it, (or a realistic lack thereof,) and even in the offchance that I end up seeing it, I've always had this nagging sensation in the back of my head that it wasn't going to be pretty. Because a part of me always felt like that the life Allout Monte had lead since day one was something that always has been the most prominent establishing piece onto the whole foundation of Allout Monte. And as we know in my last coverage on Monte. Not only did the demand for of happen, I was also right.

One of my conversations with my anonymous source / "old friend" of Mr. Monte let out that, not only he was a part of a series of unfortunate events that we will be talking about in the next two chapters, but the confirmation that Allout's lifestyle he lived was deeply rooted since day one. And that's talking about the Arcade Shop.

In Allout's home town, there lies a specific Arcade Shop that is as far as I know pretty popular over there. And one of the things that he would say about to his "old friend" is that he runs the place. Which on face value would probably give you the idea that he is a self made man, however, this "old friend" found out that it was a lie and the Arcade Shop was a matter of fact, owned by his father. Making this the worst form of stolen valor and content theft you can commit imaginable. To your own father.

Now, I originally wanted to give a little bit of doubt benefits, because a part of me thought this information was too good to be true on all accounts that I was getting this kind of shit from someone who simply stumbled upon my works. So out of due diligence and to say that it wasn't a fluke, I decided to look for myself using the name drops that the source had given me... and it turned out it is true. There does exist, a Arcade Shop in a town that is Allout's Hometown, and this bit of information was right in my hands. Unlike him, I think it'll be amusing if everybody else figured it out on their own to test my bluff that this is infact real. But of course, this is one part of the whole reason of bringing this up at the beginning.

Not when stolen valor and content theft is in the question. Which those two alone would heinous enough especially in the environment of family business. But that isn't enough to dismiss the unfortunate elephant in this brand new room: the implications.

Because again, I only know now about this Arcade ownership ordeal, but I still know next to nothing about the personal life of these people running it. Let alone their wellbeing. Because if it ends up being true that his dad is dead, and he is claiming that he owned and founded the place that is a much bigger disrespect compared to if he is alive and well and probably had lived his best life by now. Just by the concept that this type of valor and credit is being stolen by your own father who runs the place. Because if he is deceased and you did all of this, Holy Christ, Allout. But this has also been as I said a stark reminder and confirmation that was once again confirmed. That this whole thing he put himself in was deeply rooted from the start. That this was something that everybody who had met, talked, and hanged about with Allout Monte was always the predetermined factor of just finding out of much a trashy human Allout Monte is. And what he will continue to show himself to be in the next few chapters we will be covering.

The Interview that overdid the ego

So we start off with the main event and the true beginning of Monte's claim to fame. And that event was none other than the fated interview with the former Fallout 2 and New Vegas Writer Chris Avellone. And the good news is that this was something that actually happened.

The good news, is that this the one thing that actually happened, that Allout Monte will ever admit, and the only thing that he will use to virtue signal, gaslight, dick measure in a dick measuring contest, and mald with in the offchance you ever wanted to question, criticize, and/or ratio this manchild.

The shitty news is that this is the only thing that happened in IRL and not in fan-fictions.

Unfortunately, whether not not this was through this exact moment, (or by safe assumption he was like this when god knows when,) this would essentially be the beginning of a mordibly ergrigous superiority complex he would have throughout the entirety of this career. From start to finsh, everything that happens now, later, and ongoing can be traced back here to this one interview. That was not only so prominent in some of these events we will be discussing, but once we finish this it will be stark reminder of what ego and pride can do to somebody like Allout Monte. And the worst part about this was that this managed to get Rooster Teeth's attention, scoring a spot at a section in their channel… that the section itself wasn't even being received well in the first place. (Apparently, it was trash.)

Implying that it didn't even get that much attention, or at the very least the kind of attention that Allout is expecting, which considering what happens later is not one expectation that should never be healthy to anyone. And one that might as well be lost to time at this point. Which morbidly implied that despite whatever happened next, a lot of what he did would not matter. Not because of his overall character, but because of the unfortunate events of giving Rooster Teeth to the Warner Brothers. Anyways…

I think there wouldn't have been any better way about it. Because a part of me genuinely thinks that this whole thing started when he sat down in that interview. The moment he went face to face with Mr. Avellone was the moment where everything went wrong, because after that, would lead to a compilation of very unfortunate events talked about soon, and the aftermath that came with reminding us what ego can do to your greatest dreams. If this had not ever happened, I believe everything after would have never happened in the first place. Give or take. AshfallDude would never be accused of being a bisexual trans man, Fallout: Ashfall would never be a literal zombie of a mod project where the only attention it demands is drama & clout, and I wouldn't have such a skeptical yet negative outlook on the New Vegas Modding Community now that I got to see the industry behind the machine.

But this is pretty much the entire true starting point to all of what will be unfolding in the interest of time and what we will be covering now.

Beginning of a content theif

This next set of events is a little mixed messages of tragedy, little bit of comedy, little bit of deserved to the eyes of some other people, but more importantly, Allout Monte's first official set of crimes he will be comitting today. And that is talking about a place known none other as "Surgarbombed!"

To the unaware, let us start with the basics, Sugarbombed was a forum group where I once originally thought was something tied to Fallout: The Frontier. Turned out that ended up not being the case and was originally a Fallout 4 Hype Forum that lasted around 2015 to 2017. Which did serve its purpose for the most part. It was originally a joint effort by a YouTuber named MrMattyPlays and an individual by the name of "Potato" who would run the servers. Guess who else was in the Forums? Mr. Monte himself.

Now on the first bit of on the surface, you would imagine that Allout Monte would be the example child in fact, he claims himself to be a Fallout Fan, and he would do everything in his power to make sure he gave what the fans needed. But that would be so far from the truth.

Allout Monte proceeded to co-opt the forum group and make it his own. From then and to the current days of 2025, Allout Monte would say that he is the owner/founder/CEO of Sugarbombed when Allout Monte never founded anything nor worked on any aspect of the forum group. Meanwhile, Potato put the entire work into Sugarbombed even when it came to finances where there were Patreon supporters who were more than happy to put some money to keep the servers live, they would proceed to pay for the servers themselves out of their own pockets keeping those servers live. So the fact that Allout Monte would spend that same amount of time just claiming that it is his own while not even paying for a single penny for it is the most psychotic work ever.

And don't make the mistake that he was giving all these barks with followup bites. Monte did not know a thing about web development, or forums, or literally anything. So he would waste yap session upon yap session saying he owned all of this while not knowing a damn thing on how to manage it. Don't also think that's the end of it, because he would also show all of the things that I said by not knowing anything about web development and forum management for the past 8 years by best bet assuming his "ultimatum" never happened. Basically attempting to bring it back to life in some way or form, by any means necessary, and luckily, a lot of that never worked. At some point during those 8 years though, Monte had success. Somewhat.

By downgrading it to a Discord server.

And this is the second and most prominent red flag that came to play. Because that old friend of Allout has mentioned before, came to visit that server once upon a dream, and that server was basically filled with nazis and racists. A crowd that in the interest of time Allout Monte would serve as a frequent visitor of towards these kinds of circles. But aside from that, absolutely like nothing akin to the former glory of Sugarbomed. After that it was basically stark reminder that Sugarbombed was just no more, and Allout Monte basically parades its corpse around acting like it's alive and stuff even having a Patreon to it that might as well be a irl recreation of that one South Park episode about Kickstarters.

You can actually find it right here.

And it's not like Allout was one of the few problems that plagued Sugarbombed another bit of that discourse was turned towards MrMattyPlays himself. Which a lot of the consensus around Matty falls under the category of things like shill business and the sorts, not having a willingness to criticize and the likes. Another would fall under a couple other situations regarding MrMattyPlays, and his management. But a lot of it basically fell under the category of shilling nonsense and the sort, essentially a lot of stuff a part of me already figured and contributed to the reasons why I felt something was off about Matty in the first place when I heard of him. But at that time, it also wasn't worth wasting all of that time over since it was under the category of basically understanding the hustle.

But at the end of the day though... Allout Monte basically stole the credit of Sugarbombed- commandeering the entire thing, and bulldozing it into oblivion (in a bulldozer he had no damn clue how to work btw,) until the former glory of Sugarbombed was unidentifiable.

Yet, here's the stinger regarding Matty and Monte, this also would not be the first time he tried stealing shit from him.

Because Allout Monte would proceed to try and front a Podcast called the H.A.M. Radio Podcast... and guess who started that first?

Now luckily this never went far and the events regarding it was basically lost to time. But the long and short of it was a little bit after, Monte tried to mog Matty with his Podcast and that like his roughly 8 years worth of botching the holy hell out of Sugarbombed didn't even work at all. It was apparently so tragic, that was why it was lost to time.

At the end of the day though, that was the beginning of Allout Monte's content theft spree. And kind of this E3 Demonstration of Monte basically exposing himself as this insane-o style clout chaser that'd basically go to things as far as being a raging asshole for attention, or in this case, unapologetic content theft.

More importantly, this would only gas him up in preparation for the whole entire schism on what was about to go down next.

Ash and the fall (1/ Borrowed time)

Now this is where we get to the main course of the iceberg, Fallout: Ashfall. A name of horrid memories, abysmal downfalls, and the world's most cringe crashouts imaginable. This is where the bulk of the entire documentary is at, this is where I have the most vivid memories of Monte and his clown shows though preferably I always kept wishing they were just fever dreams. A lot of you probably are tired of hearing about it, and probably think the same thing too, so I'll try to make introductions as brief as possible to the uninformed.

Fallout: Ashfall was a Fallout: New Vegas Mod Project akin to the likes of Fallout: London and Fallout: New California. Entirely different Fallout stories using Fallout: New Vegas's Engine Assets among their own creations to create DLC-sized and even New Game++ Experiences. Fallout: Ashfall was one of those that was to be taking place in Hawaii. And it got salad tossed around a couple other times by some management issues on top of being targeted by a goofy goober by the name of Sneedclave Anonymous. (a face we will talk about later.)

Now Fallout: Ashfall had a lot of shoes to fill, trying to build up promise, impression, and the pursuit of an entire Fallout Story in Hawaii. The only problem is trying to sort out the planning. As mentioned before, this got salad tossed around by a handful of lead developers and the sort, seemingly looking like it was gonna be in development hell until this course of events it fell under its brand new leadership for that time, AshfallDude.

And AshfallDude was someone who did a good job at it. Had a systems and everything one time, even one time stating that he had a set of rules regarding work efforts and personals that basically made overworking yourself a bigass "No." Keep this in mind as this will be a very important tool in the interest of time. Now in tragic fashion, guess who else so happened to be a part of the Fallout: Ashfall Team. Allout Monte himself.

Now his first hours of being a part of the Ashfall Team started out almost innocently enough. But rather unfortunate case nonetheless. He was recommended by a friend, which in turn, made him an apology hire. Which, consequently as apology hires go, Allout was never interviewed, question, or side-eyed what Monte was truly capable of. Now had a few prying eyes keel over Monte. Some would imagine it either be a much shorter story, or it would've panned out the same just without a much bigger outreach compared to that whole one year. Fact of the matter being that nobody regardless of it being three months ago, or even three years ago probably wouldn't have anticipated the aftermath unless they telepathically knew Monte.

Ash and the fall (2/ "Where you even at???")

Now then, we move on to the next segment of this entire episodic ordeal with the abysmal guerilla stunt that came to play started by Monte. Allout gets what he wants, the strife between getting fired and staying is over. You'd think with someone who claims to be high and might like Allout Monte, he'd put his entire backbone into the project. What Fresh claimed About against was a fluke and he was this model citizen for the “Fallout Community.” No.

Spoiler alert: this never happened.

Allout Monte would be inactive for the entirety of four to nine whole months. Almost half a year. And the bitch of the entire thing is this was not even with anything major he was just assigned a side-quest and still proceeded to do nothing about it. How much of “Nothing?”

No updates, no reports, no progress, no attendance, no nothing. Hardly attended meetings, and not even a lick of content to work with. How this became more prominent was all thanks to AshfallDude's Leadership.

When he was assigned the lead of the project, there were a concrete reality he understood off rip:

Modding is about hobby that people work on for free and that they are giving out for free. At the end of the day, the modding scene primarily consists of people would take a fraction of their time to put something together for the purpose of entertainment and never for business. So on the first few days as lead he made these no exceptions set rules basically summarized by myself who understands it clearly:

Nobody is to set any form of personals to the side in favor of working with on Fallout: Ashfall.

If anybody is currently in the event where they are unable to work on the mod for a considerable amount of time, they are to notify their higher ups beforehand if not immediately so they can assess, address, and act accordingly.

Clear cut, simple, and no excuse to say it was never done.

With these two rules aside, Allout had that amount of excuses to not find such a time to read and follow accordingly. Again, almost six whole months with no activity or contribution. And the only form of activity was when he responded to AshfallDude after he himself personally checked to see how he was doing. A week after on top of the unfathomable months of nothing, he would finally ruled out that he is to be kicked from the server, no exceptions.

But that's getting ahead of ourselves.

Because the before marks the beginning of the Fallout: Ashfall discourse, and the start of everyone's worst fever dream.

The other and only only sense of "activity" he ever did or make was out of insubordination. During the development days, everyone was focused on trying to make the project, promotionals were deemed the very last things to be working on. Because one, they were in no state to do any sort of promotionals whatsoever. There were still conceptions taking place, but a nothing was set, and they were focused on trying to get settled in. And two, making promotionals at a time like this is the last thing nobody should have on their mind. But unfortunatele enough, this did not stop a select few people.

The only few people who saw it that way, was Krimson Graey and Allout Monte. Them and a few other people they accumulated decided to do a "Leak Trailer" that did not pan over that well. When they published it. It was abysmal, rushed, and as expected, something that hardly resembled any kind of a product if not final. Practically, the number one reason why it was frowned upon in the first place. They effectively ruined a reputation that they were trying to build up in the first place. If the point was somehow that this was the case, this was the one and only thing they were good at doing. And nothing else.

The worst about all of this was the fact that everything that happens after, Shadow Raven, his hate group and everything in-between, on top of the fear being distilled into every investigative journalist of being stalked and doxed by these exact people, who claim they're doing this to fight the "woke mind virus" they swear up and down the Vatican that it isn't cope… All started because of this exact moment. One garbage take of a trailer. Destroyed an entire Mod Project and gave everyone the worst brainrot imaginable. After it was all settled, a handful of people were removed from the server for this action, which eventually lead to the last and final kick from the server Monte for inactivity.

When Monte was ejected from the server, all hell broke loose.

Petty crashouts, pettier coverups

By now, bearing in mind what I laid out for Allout's “contribution” to the ordeal, you'd think that kicking him from the server would be the end of it all. Doing nothing for that amount of time more than likely involving that same exact energy when being out of the server.

Allout Monte would just so happened to be much more active and now eccentric after his removal. He would go on to say that he was kicked out of the project for no reason at all, that it was unjustified, the lead was a dick for putting such talents to waste and that he was going to make a much more better Fallout: Ashfall in his own server. (Which he unironically did. Six different times actually.) Bear in mind once again, that this was the same guy that did nothing for half a year, and this was his reaction towards all of this. Not once was there ANY kind of evidence that indicated he ever contributed to the project. Not once did he even try to put effort into whatever he was assigned to do. Monte basically did all this as clout points just on the sole fact that he was working in Fallout: Ashfall the same way he treated his interview with Avellone.

After his meltdown is where his narrative began. He and Krimson Graey made the entire narrative that the former lead of the Fallout: Ashfall mod was this bisexual trans man who was secretly dating another dev on the team. And for a time, some people started buying into that, his own dev team turned against him, and this eventually caught in to Shadow Raven's radar. They would run along for this narrative as long as it took. Some believed it for “better” or worse, while others were remarking how stupendously asinine it was for someone to have a crashout like this. While looking at it face value with less understanding of the behind the scenes. He would make one piece “addressing” the ordeal only to be silent for the rest of the discourse. Or so we thought.

Meanwhile, during the discourse had between Shadow Raven and a few other was this entirely different channel working with him by the name of How 2 Exist Pranks and Tutorials. To kind of speedrun how this channel worked, he was pretty much a Shadow Raven Studios goon. But with much more AI. The entire schpeel of the Channel involved AI Generated content, and AI Generated videos making slop piece after slop piece towards someone who in the interest of time basically left the entire project their crowd wanted for themselves in the first place. It was initially thought that it was just one of Shadow Raven's followers who had a social outlet they could use to express that. But after putting a much keener eye on the videos in a mildly amusing, very unfortunate, yet painfully pathetic turn of events, How 2 Exist turned out to be a channel alt owned by Allout Monte who was assisting Shadow Raven fueling this ordeal.

How did we know this?

Allout made all his AI Videos with watermarks with his actual name in the videos on the top right corner. And I mean all of them.

Was there any doubts or tribulations to this claim?

Not after he purged the entire channel in a public livestream you can witness.

This was not only the most damning piece against Allout Monte and what his “crusade” stood for, but the first time we ever witnessed Monte mask off.

Put it this way, here we have Allout Monte. A "writer" for Fallout: Ashfall, ridiculed, shame because he was “putting his all” into the goals of Fallout: Ashfall. Yapping his heart out, swearing up and down that Allout Monte himself is the sheer perfect writer for the Fallout Ashfall Team who's talents were put to waste after being wronged by his own employer.

Only to witness that same exact person using generative AI into their content. All of that talk, all those threats, everything that was thought to be deemed your empire deduced to an AI content creator who was as useful as EDM Background Noise. The worst part was the channel creation date lost to time. Because if it were to be discovered that How 2 Exist was a channel made at least in 2022-23, this would basically blow the entirety of Allout's story out of the water and into the first half of the Titanic. Because this would imply that Allout's “response piece,” his claims, delusional speakings and the sort had zero meaning long before he put his own two and two together to see his plan this deep in the gutter. There would've been a chance that for the four or five months he was inactive and hardly contributing to the Fallout Ashfall Project, all of those were spent messing around with the "potential" of AI and what he could or could not do with it and how much he could get away with it and make this impervious facade that he was trying to "cook."

That was when, on that day, I finally understood Allout's life. Allout is best described as a talentless liar that tries to buy time for things he never has a chance at winning. If not that, he was also someone with the worst superiority complex imaginable, thinking he is above anyone and anything especially with other moderators and higherups.

The MSART (Monte Schizo Alt Response Team)

After this discovery was made, a new pattern started to emerge. Every now and then, freshly made accounts come in either claiming to be associates or best friends with the same exact accusations that were spewed numerous times, debunked plenty more times, and were laughed at as long as it took for them to back off and purge their account. Even allegations that were debunked but were regurgitated at least five to seven times.

The more accounts they make, the easier the dots connected, the better understanding that came together. That these alts were, in some shape or form, owned by Allout Monte. It was made more prominent when it came to alts that were further out into other outlets. Sneedclave Anonymous from Twitter, among other names, who would basically hold up the claim that the lead dev was Bisexual, Trans and Jewish, a "Fake Fallout Fan" seeking to destroy the community. While unironically being the worst Fallout Fan imaginable.

During the remainder of the discourse, Allout basically had an entire alt ring that was co-hosted by Krimson Graey and a handful of Ashfall Devs who were "converted." In which during my thoughts, in hindsight, I've considered them to be described as bystanders who only knew how to keep an eye for any professionals wanting to intervene.

Regurgitating and spewing the same exact nonsense that he had always been doing since he was kicked from Ashfall. He never did any kind of self reflection, introspections or retrospect. All he was ever stuck at was the day the former Ashfall Lead rued the day he got kicked from the project for doing absolutely nothing. The only question was how. As a matter of fact, it'd probably be much more wiser to talk about his alt Sneedclave Anonymous.

Sneedclave Anonymous was another prominent figure in the discourse, his account dated longer back than Ashfall. But he was pretty much someone hidden in plain sight. SneedAnon originally started as a shill for the Fallout: The Frontier, defending tooth and nail until either the listener gives them a reason to shut up or they give up entirely. He shifted his focus into Ashfall around 2021-22 saying that Ashfall in some shape or form, made an “assassination effort” towards one of their affiliates. In the later days, he would hyper-focus on Ashfall basically acting like a free automated account if not an obnoxious parrot harping on the allegations that were far debunked long before. We originally considered, like H2E, an entirely different person or at this point a bot that set up by somebody else. But I paid attention closely, and noticed the pattern.

Allout as previously mentioned, was overtly narcissistic, egotistical. Any chance he got, he'd basically glaze himself until people got tired of it. And that is precisely what Sneedclave would do for hours, days, weeks on end. Even if there were many people who were piling on against Sneedclave. He'd still claim specifically that Allout Monte and Krimson Graey are the ones innocent. Regardless of credibility. In short, there has to be a point of time where if you regurgitated something for the fiftieth time, it was probably time to consider a Plan B.

Even beyond the fiftieth time, Sneedclave would still go on, referring to old videos, terminated videos, or resources that either never existed or were never present since 2021. And soon enough I've already deduced that Sneedclave Anonymous was overseered by Allout Monte.

There were some speculations that came to play in terms of whether or not this was owned by Allout Monte. Some I knew people would start asking, if they wanted to cross ref what I had down so far, which I am more than willing to provide here.

Theory 1: Sneedclave Anonymous was truly a remnant of a Fallout: The Frontier dev and/or zealot partaking in the Ashfall discourse.

Learning about Fallout: The Frontier and the Sneedclave as a whole, there were considerations to think just that. But an aspect of it indicates that some pieces about it may or may not add up as vivid as it should. For basic context, Fallout The Frontier was a DLC Mod that had an abysmal release, with an even heinous crowd. Various horror stories came about it ranging from derranged NSFW works circulating, development hells, and unhinged track records of developers. When those surfaced and The Frontier Devs in deep water, their ultimatum was: take everything that they manufactured themselves and pin it onto somebody who wasn't even involved in the writing development of the mod to begin with. After that, it seemed as if everyone either phased out of existence, or tried to rebrand to the best of their ability disassociating themselves from their work. If it was a remnant, a lot of whoever would be supporting it would think twice, three, maybe even ten times before tagging in to defend their biggest fan. As it stands, their frame, cover-up and evading was what made their affair feel resolved and therefore lack any reason to worry about coming back into the fray whether incidentally or intentionally. Therefore zero reason to ever worry about it to begin with…

If it were to be a remnant of some sort, why risk any exposure by defending somebody who wouldn't even give you the time of day after all they did for themselves alone?

What would they gain from masquerading as something they'd represented in the past if they knew it would pin it back to their "past life" if they were not careful if not incredibly stupid about it?

Now is it still possible, to an extent, but with this theory in mind and also Allout Monte in mind would give a much more lunatic implication that I'll be talking about later.

Theory 2: Sneedclave Anonymous is a zealot of Allout Krimson, and/or the converted Fallout Ashfall Dev Team that is effectively using a defunct group as cover.

This was something I considered too before calling Sneedclave and any other alt an Allout alt. But there were two things that were basically involving unrealistic expectations and assumptions out of Allout Monte:

Allout, apart from his comandeered Sugarbombed forums has any sort of "friends" apart from Krimson, Abrams, and/or Cellblock, who'd be more than willing to help him out. (More on that later…)

Allout found people more competent than him to run a channel while yapping his psycho sayings who won't even question it for a second and actually get away with telling the difference- on top of being totally okay with being associated with the world's worst sociopath. Which again, follows the keyphrase "braindead is, as braindead gets."

One thing to note, is that Sneedclave was too consistent. If I were to be somebody defending Allout, (and knowing some of the tactics from lifestyles I shunned in the past,) the wiser thing to do would be spicing up the tables by making new outlandish stories to work with. And definitely not involve the same six different allegations debunked, laughed at, and ratio'd. Certainly, there were some that tried to be different, but they were effectively an absolute cut and paste of all of Allout's sayings. More importantly, this is working under the assumption that Allout managed to get equally dumber people who'd believe in him to be magically skilled in covering tracks or even manufacturing lies in the first place. This would give the indication that yes, Allout Monte owns it, but he's puppeteering husks that won't mind being human shields to content thieves.

As previously mentioned, Sneedclave was too consistent, (a very important keyword and trait,) yet less diversive. (ha.) For example: The allegations that AshfallDude is a bisexual trans man remained the same for the past five or so months. The one and only change that was made was that they decided to call him Jewish on top of that in the sixth or seventh month into the discourse. Not to mention that it only made Allout's on-brand schtick more prominent in Sneedclave Anon's soul of the channel. In that twisted fit of self-report would fit the criteria of Allout Monte running the account since again his friend group usually consists of sauerkrauts and racists who find no problem in racism. With nothing left and six feet in the gutter, you can probably imagine why Allout Monte's grift was just dead for so inexplicably long.

Let alone finding a lack of people to ever be called psychopathic to follow his lead. But another important and hilarious notion and indication was the egregious amount of self glazing.

Because Allout Monte and Krimson Graey (on top of another face we'll talk about soon) are the two people people partaking in the one sided cope fest spewing some of these, the problem was that they were the only ones talking about this and feeding their one sided cope fest that had lost numerous times while failing to hold a candle to about anything. Meaning nobody else was chiming in implying that either the hate group had the worst commitment issues imaginable, or Allout Monte and Krimson Graey were actually the only two "competent" people in that group that knew how to write the same three different stories. Great.

Even if everybody knew they were flaccid lies, Sneedclave A would still try to make a circle-jork-fest with Monte and Company. Which was just more reasons on top of a fustercluck cake.

Which eventually, many people caught into the idea that Allout Monte was Sneedclave Anonymous in some shape or form that we've yet to understand and will go over in a minute. But when people started calling him out for it, boy did he fight baby tooth and nail to gaslight anyone who was interested in assisting the effort of putting two and two together. One example was how Sneedclave Anonymous was known to swap between posts being written by humans and posts written by AI. An implication, previously mentioned, that not only was this owned by Allout Monte but this was a co-host with him and somebody else, with a best bet being Krimson Graey. Allout was effectively giving everything to us while also not even giving anything to us and hiding behind glorified yap sessions that are usually just enigmas of cringe nobody cared to read about.

Remember what I previously said, that Allout was a talentless liar? That's where this trait comes to play, because the bitter irony of Allout's grift and these one sided battles he puts himself in was always what lie to put through the ringer. Or lack thereof. And all he ever saw was one of the most dumbest dilemmas in the market. So dumb in fact, that you just have to beg the question of what part of it made it the way that it was making the choices.

If Allout were to outright say that he is Allout then and there, like a sane and sensible human being making the right choice and not the dumbest ones like how he totally (in)consistently swears that they're not, it'd definitely put the entire façade to an end right then and there. But of course, that'd destroy his reputation. Or whatever's left of it. Or what non-existent astral projection makes it a reputation. In his case it wouldn't have mattered in the first place. But for whatever reason, it was like he got shell-shocked by the 2012 movie every time there were cases where he had the chance to confess that he was Allout Monte.

If Allout were to not confess and keep the façade up despite every single bit of debunking, then he'd better start praying that he's a more competent actor than he is a writer. (meaning dropping the Chat GPT. Which you'd think he would after getting caught with his AI alt.) People will start noticing those traits, changes and the sort, take note, and you'd be giving them no choice but to have them think that Sneedclave Anonymous is indeed Allout Monte. Yet with no defense, proper deflection for an offense for that, you're pretty much stuck with the same four things you had to stick with long since you were thrown for being exposed as a liar. His whole debacle was best described as six lies zero truths, but you have to replace a truth with a lie with every round.

The Friend List Intermission

Since we've gotten ahead and cover his more prominent alts, we can actually put a bookmark on the alt narrative and go over his friend circle before we cover the end, aftermath, and semi-conclusion. Since we are nearing the end anyways. A quick intermission and an "In Memoriam" of the many people willingly letting somebody like Allout Monte drag everyone and everything into oblivion and a bitch-less life.

Because chances are you could be imagining to yourself:

"Well how bad can Allout's friend group get?"

"There's no way it's as extreme as you're making it out to be."

"I've seen loony bins like this before, what are the odds that Allout and his group are equally as heinous, slow, and asinine?"

That's the neat part, you already know you're going to be proven wrong.

The good news is that you get the scaling level of tame to most unhinged.

The bad news is that it's going to be the smallest scale you've ever witnessed.

Krimson Graey

Now as you recalled recently in past works, Krimson Graey was somebody who is Allout's most involved friend in his circle. He was who actually made ultimatum on AshfallDude where he threatened him to kick another Ashfall Associate from the team or he were to leave with everything that was attributed, and he was the one that helped fabricate the narrative on AshfallDude. Among other things. Now with someone holding a title like that in Allouts circle, normally, you'd think he'd be as insufferable as Allout would be in just being the most loudest and delusional loony in the house. But contrary to that, he was reasonably chill.

Discounting the soft-insubordination problems.

One of Krimson's "semi origin story" of the one-sided hate campaign was that Krimson was a lead writer for the project when he started a habit of ignoring AshfallDude’s inputs. In the beginning, his main issue is that if he didn't like an idea AshfallDude had for a character/storyline/etc, he would just not tell the other writers about it, which effectively got to a point where he basically defeated his own purpose as a lead writer and stopped being a lead writer altogether just for the fact that he was taking orders from AshfallDude. As if some of these cases could not get any dumber by the milisecond.

He would refuse to talk to or coordinate or quality control anything being made for the mod. There was even a point in time where AshfallDude had to bring Veta Phoenix in to do the jobs he refused to do. Krimson would only agree to and/or O.K. ideas for the mod if people besides AshfallDude came up with the idea. From what other former writers told him, if they came up with an intentionally batshit idea and said AshfallDude hated it, he would push for it extra hard. It would be a pretty ergrigous trend throughout his Ashfall history.

Which at that time sparked a joke within a group one time where somebody (who AshfallDude desired not to name at the time of discussion. I think I know who, but I’m not risking it) made up an idea that the Legion built a submarine that doubled as a rocket ship, which Krimson shot down as being dumb, but then immediately went all in for it when someone told him he also hated the idea. Which to that dismay all of these events listed were of what happened after the trailer incident. He was overall described as being somebody who insisted that he knew best even when he really didn't.

All things considered, he was actually considered pretty decent. If whatever he was good at wasn’t overshadowed by how he refuses to just leave AshfallDude the hell alone.

Or his friends alone.

Or how he keeps going around the general public saying AshfallDude’s publicly trans.

Or the best cherry on top, how he started off begging AshfallDude and incessantly nagging him to give Graey the role of lead writer.

(just to ironically, let that entire briefing on himself above happen.)

But as you can imagine with everything else, he was Allout's accomplice helping with alts, making loony bin takes, and just outright ensuring that AshfallDude's life was a living hell… because they released a shitty trailer nobody liked and was never told to do. And got fired for it.

Apart from all of that he was also somebody with a failing voice acting career to the point where he'd probably send you death threats if you side-eyed him the wrong wait. Which he did. Once.

Maybe twice. Or more...

Anywho, decent portfolio on Allout’s Top Reference in his lovely resume as the first. But that’s far from what the others have at the table in Allout's friend circle. Like I said, this is the only tamest member in his friend group in terms of humble beginning.

Welcome to hell.

Abrams/Aehab/AehabCries

Abrams… I originally approached the idea that, considering the accounts of him being a gooner and the sorts, that I was going to get the run of the mill incel nonsense. Y’know, the ones with the likes of misogyny, wife beating, those sorts of things. But after AshfallDude’s description of Abrams when I asked him about it sometime ago… I’m just going to let the discussion where I originally was asking if he had evidence of these actual fan-fictions between Abrams and AshfallDude existing do the talking on this.

So… yea. Certified gooner.

And number one resource provider of Sneedclave Anonymous. And once again, by that Allout logic he is providing, might as well be true. One of the running themes you’ll be getting out of these is that Allout’s friend circle partaking in the loony-bin nonsense and then turning around to do the 4chan textbook special of “itsa joke.” This was something where it was god awful impossible for Abrams to follow that 4chan textbook move.

Especially when Sneedclave Anon presents things that not only fit the criteria of Abrams himself or anyone else in general, but the sole fact that he never even bothered addressing, or at least personally acknowledging it. Or hilarious of all, give everyone an indication that it might be true. Which as you can tell, this same dilemma that is presented to Allout is not exclusive to him. He's tried multiple times to sell the idea that this was not him. And exactly like Allout, fails to present any kind of indication or proof to those claims. While also half-assing himself between being a part of the discourse and not being part of the discourse by pretty much doing the same strats Allout would do. Just with a little more indication that they much much more things to hide than crusty hard drives.

But that's getting ahead of ourselves. Somewhat.

As it stands though, he’s still trying to spam the signature 4chan of nuh-uh when… it’s kinda on the walls. And probably some other stuff I'll spare the details on. Just keep him on your personal watchlists on who the hell to stay away from.

Pomen

Pomen was not somebody in the Fallout Ashfall debacle group so far, (or so as far as theoretical copes say,) he was infact the only verified follower of Sneedclave Anonymous. Does he sound like somebody who can, would, and probably has been mutuals with Allout Monte? Indefnitely so. Why is he getting featured in this list? Let these posts do the talking.

Moving on.

Saint Floyd

This one is a very special case. Not because of the near blatant obvious of trying to sell themselves off as a christian minecraft server themed christian minecrafter. But that he’s selling himself off as a christian minecraft server themed christian minecrafter and the most friendliest fascist that hates Jews as he said to AshfallDude during a tabletop game session with a few people.

Don’t take my word for it, take this discussion and profile overview of SaintFloyd.

Apart from that there isn't much to go off of unless you want another rabbit hole following a case in Fallout: Unity who in an awkward turn of events once had a petty crashout against a different mod solely on the fact that the two share the same open permissioned resources to help build it.

Whether this was addressed or not in the end is uncertain, compared with Ashfall, it might as well have been dismissed faster that anyone could say "hypocritical irony." Or that it was a dispute so asinine people have chosen to blot it out of there memories with more happier thoughts and greener pastures.

For the sake of convenience, and the hope that it does not go into any further cringefests to be dragged into the near future, I am hoping that is the latter. In any case, now would be a time to get a move on to our last.

Urias

Urias was originally meant for another document that I intended on remaking. But considering what has happened recently, I don't get that luxury to cover it that way. Yet, lucky for us, this would be marking the end of this intermission I put together. And a key figure to what happens next. Urias was never deemed as a friend of sorts, he was considered more as the most hollow human shield used by Allout Monte, Krimson Graey and any and every alt they ever owned.

What kind of hollow you ask? The kind of hollow that in every sense of state of being baseless and has nothing to do with the Ashfall discourse in the first place. Or literally in general. Yet they do it anyways because… reasons. I guess.

To get a brief understanding on what we're theoretically working with here: Urias was an individual who was feared by many of the Fallout New Vegas Modding community. In short informal terms, Urias is described with the likes of Sauron, Vader, but more populary, the Icon of Sin.

The only feat about this personification of this Icon of Sin?

He never existed.

Urias never existed since 2021. Long before the Ashfall discourse, long before anyone which made for a reliable quick stray Allout and his group frequently uses. Urias is more accurately described as a human shield made out of pure glass. There is effectively nothing about him, yet easy to see through what they were doing behind. With any and every question concerning, debating, or testing his existence shatter his shield and have it reduce to atoms. And even if there was anything about him, there isn't even a crumb about it happening.

The usual stick of Urias is that he is tied to various misdeeds, crimes, and misdemeanors. Ranging from being a public nuciance on Discord servers to even stalking and potentially doxing Fallout: London writers invloving love letters( I think?) and the sort. The problem with about every single one of these cases is that there is absolutely nothing to show for it. No documentations, no evidence providing them, and even the people who are part of it certainly know next to nothing about these cases.

The one and only documented event of Urias doing something heionus is as simple, easy, equally perplexing, and overall semi-funny. And it follows as this:

Urias reaches out to a member of the Fallout The Frontier Team

Urias sends him an artwork of Deathclaw Pornography in his DMs

And Urias proceeded to call him the signature homosexual slur

And leave.

That's it.

The entirety of the rest of its history has basically been lost to time and out of the open. And the bitch of the entire thing has effectively been the implications, indications, realizations, and epiphanies behind it.

Because the fact that this is the only event that happened and was ever recorded and the rest in blind accusations and mass hysteria clearly indicated that if this entire case is the only reason that makes this whole ordeal with using Urias as a scapegoat asinine, it gives all the more reasons to not believe them and then dunk on them into oblivion for being the most braindead liars wasn't imaginable. Especially when you dumb the entire situation down to being demonizing somebody through one life event.

Like for all the intensive purposes of speculation, Urias could've been just one dude who's like the most reasonable guy imaginable, the you'd least expect and know for a fact that he doesn't have a life Sir Schizolot yaps about and the reason why they did it was because it was out of a intrusive thought.

But everything else about it after that, pure open season comedy to see somebody like Sneedclave Anonymous and to an extent Allout to mald so hard about such an event, that he had to fabricate these multiple narratives to get his getback on something and someone he wasn't even a part of- and in every way possible, impossible to be involved to begin with.

It even gotten to the point where people have proactively framed others for being Urias, and these types of things starting as petty crashouts. Zapshock being the most hilarious example who got framed for being Urias over a petty crashout over open-permed assets that might've or might've not gotten mistaken for somebody else.

And on top of that, is one implication that gets to me regarding Allout = Sneedclave. If there was ever history between him and Fallout the Frontier, everything about what Allout did would make much sense. From his meltdowns, to his content theft days, to his AI content, and the sort, all of that would just make all the more reasons why Allout Monte was such a threat to the entire community in the first place. Maybe even the Fallout Ashfall Dev Team who blindly believed in Sneedclave Anonymous.

Now was there any evidence between him and The Frontier? Not any that is considered presenting or has any reason to present itself. Or at the very least any that is blatantly obvious. Sneedclave Anonymous was founded in May of 2021, meaning that it is not in the realm of impossibility, but the odds would never be at 0% all the same.

How not to self report

Now we're getting close to the end of the Sneedclave Anonymous Arc, as mildy entertaining as some of us want to pretend it to be, such things have endings for a reason. And I'm sure a lot of us are begging for it at this point, if we want to put the brute force honesty in our mouths.

Now as previously mentioned, after enough schizo posts, psycho hearings, and loony bin pillow talks, each and every participant in the discourse had each and every idea that in some shape, some formality, some chance, Sneedclave Anonymous was owned by Allout Monte through it all. Each reasoning, and indication varied, but the consenus was consistent. One example I know, as previously mentioned, was a mutual of AshfallDude who noticed that some of his posts were a flip flop between AI and Human. Indicating that in some shape Sneed was owned by Allout, but was co-hosted by somebody else. One who may or may not be more competent than Allout, but by best shot that it was Graey. I guess in a hindsight retrospect, we were waiting for somebody to make the call to actually put the two and two together… And somebody did.

And most importantly, it was a fustercluck. After that first stone was thrown, everybody started throwing it at the glass house they surrounded at a safe distance, and everything was made much more clearer. The patterns became more prominent and the hilarious part was that there were even cases where he basically "gave up the game" actually acted like, or responded "properly" like Allout Monte.

After these sets of events, this was where I came in.

The people I associated with once part of the discourse, understood that the grift has been made, and decided to set it to the side and let them be at their own devices after three or so more back and fourths that had Allout bodied, and others gave up entirely knowing full well that Allout being dumb as hell is probably gonna never figure it out on his own in a hole he dug for himself. However, I understood that odds are one way or another, the documentation about these could be outdated, maybe a few months later if not more than a year. There was much to cover, things subject to change, and more importantly, goofy goobers who could not shut the hell up for the life of them. What was even worse was that Allout with the help of Krimson made more alts, and even stalked and doxed an Archive Channel a part of the whole ordeal.

I opted in to call it out, and that's what I started doing. One hilarous day, they started running YouTube Alts, specifically under the name Fallout: Ashfall is Woke! And on the next after Christmas Break (yes, they dragged this on through Thanksgiving and Christmas Break) they thought it was a good idea to announce that they were doing a supposed three hour documentary covering the Ashfall Drama exposing their former lead, and just for the shit of it, announced that Krimson Graey will be voicing the ordeal. (Because let's face it, Graey needs this to avoid even less reasons to awknowledge that he has a failing voice acting career.)

Not only did I call out their bluff, but on the 25th of December at 2:14 AM, I published my entire documentary on Sneedclave Anonymous with everything we had another week later. Not only did they never release it on Christmas Day, but they had the audacity to make the announcement that the documentary was "accidentally destroyed."

How you asked? Apparently, it was replaced with gay porn.

And right then and there, that was when I was onto their game. Hilariously enough, not only did I end up cancelling their documentary, but they also effectively briefly locked down their entire Twitter Account for a total of close to a month. That was how badly I got them fucked up, that I was on top of their grift and pressed the hell out of it until it caved and self-imploded. Then came the second and only time that Sneedclave Anonymous defuncted his account and terminated it for good, which was when after I exposed the truth about Urias. Now, you'd think that with such a debunking like this, the next best option would have to be pack in the towel right? No.

Allout, after keeping in mind the months on end of swearing up and down that Urias is Zap or some other bystander that has nothing to do with it, takes it upon himself to call… himself. Urias.

I don't even think I need to write down another sentence explaining how unapologetically pathetic it was trying to sell that story to everyone else. Especially when he turned the entire gun to himself after spending months upon months upon months that Urias existed. He would proceed to purge the entire channel. Right after I managed to get the entire report on him, with full tweets and everything. Yet, this was how his escapades concluded.

Not even mentioning the incel trend of stanning the Joker. At least a Joker that was part of the shittiest sequel known to man because some dickhead didn't want to make "woke musicals."

Anyways, like all his posts Allout's theoretical final days as a LARPing alt ended just as pathetically as it started. It was basically a glorified yap session involving Ceaser & Cleopetra or some weirdo junk like that, and that this weird ass narrative he was making was trying to frame another person for an entirely new loony bin built for such an occasion.

At this point I had to assume that I was witnessing Allout Monte at his most pathetic low. Nobody to lie to, nobody to gaslight, not a single soul to believe in him. A part of it was a little poetic. Unfortunately. Still pathetic, but at least there was a reminder. I guess.

But that's aside the point of everything else, as you'll eventually learn in another entirely different segment, it was only half true that it was the end. But put in an entirely different alt impersonating another group (which you'd think some part of it would be illegal in some degree) and in comes a brand new story, in a brand new psychosis, with a brand new world order that a lot of us are totally thrilled we will be living through for theoretically longer than 4 years, but shorter than seven.

Unfortunately, that story in question might not involve me walking out of this freely.

Finally doing what you sucked at for a whole year now

Now, normally, this would be how the documentary would end. However, there's always been that one thing that Mr. Monte always has a tendency to hide behind. The one simple thing that he would always swears and treat as a holy bible it is his only video regarding the Fallout Ashfall: ordeal. The one that was supposed to be his saving grace, only to have it at the end of the schism be shown as a medal of disappointment, cringe, and a grim reminder on how not to respond to any drama that you as a matter of fact, had everything to do with. Always clung onto by the hate group, by Allout Monte, by anyone super familiar with the grapefruit glaze session in Allout's group.

Previously, I've mentioned that Allout made a piece addressing the whole thing. One 17 minute video.

Posted on the 24th of March, 2024. One year ago.

You see, the thing with that, was that when that bit was released, nobody except for you gave it the time of day. Not even Shadow Raven or any goofy goober in his circle. Not because it was abysmally ass, it was extremely abysmally ass. And to have it to the point of making a cover-up piece so garbage that neither side wanted to screw with that apart from Allout Monte. Makes me think that he is more creatively competent than I give him credit for. Almost.

This unique thing about this is the reason as to how nobody had ever responded to such an crybaby session, let alone, give any pity points towards Mr. Monte for such "selfless action." Some of the bigger known people who were talking about the discourse and in the process of exposing Allout Monte for what he truly was, didn't even give the time of day to side eye his own response video. Which hilariously implied that everyone involved had the neuron activation that Allout Monte was never to be trusted under any circumstances since day one.

But that's the problem. Nobody covered it. And for the time spent working on, talking about, hearing about, acting out on this ordeal, the sole fact that not a single soul ever evaluated the video puts enough ego into Allout Monte that he still thinks it is the sole proprietors of the Ashfall discourse, that it is the ultimate gacha moment from him that nobody ever talks about it. Simply because they were unwilling to do it.

"Setting the record straight about Fallout: Ashfall"

Between Allout Monte and myself, I agree.

It's time to set the record straight.

Since I'm on borrowed time the moment I send this to my piers and the people that need to see it, and on the topic of mutually assured destruction, today, I want to invite each and everyone of you to the moment that is long overdue and cringefully long awaited. Today is the day we will debunk that video. I figured as the last few things I do as my good ole self before the music starts, I do what I always do best and do the things the others won't bother doing. Always my forte anyways.

Now… I'm not going to make the same mistake as you did, Allout and debunk it for clout. If anything, clout was the last thing I ever wanted, all that mattered was what I said gets out to the general public as far and wide as possible. And if people believed it, good. They don't have to physically prove it, but as long as there were people willing to take a gander at these words and understand the weight of all of them is enough to know that I did my job anyways. It was always the purpose of a writer, after all too. Something that I figured you already knew yourself, Monte.

I'm also not going to be debunking this because I wanted to be the first to do it and say I did, because let's face it, it's already disappointing enough that my career ended up having to be associated with an entire hate group unwilling to take responsibility. And that self-implodes once every other three days.

And originally, I was going to say that I did this because I wanted this to represent someone who used a downfall like your own, and use the already mangled pieces to build the statue of a reformed man who almost fell into a lifestyle as decrepit, as depressing, and as unfathomably cringe as yours that actually learned their lessons. Granted, that for a moment, it did feel that way. It was never in my right to do such a thing, and frankly, that's a luxury I never want anyway considering how I got here.

I'm doing this for the love of the game and the sole fact that you destroyed lives at the end of the day. Over a petty crashout. And the systematic self implosion of you never accepting such a reality and responsibility turned out to be the best music to face for somebody like me.

Without further adieu, here's the video below to follow along for free views, let us discuss it.

0:00 - 9:25

Now, to make a mark like this might seem a little excessive, although it is guaranteed that the yap session is objectively bs anyways. This is actually considering personal tips and guidance regarding apology videos.

And yes, I'm not going to sugarcoat it, Monte, you were better off calling it "how not to set an apology video" over "setting the record straight."

At first glance I've always seen it as an "apology video" and to some who are familiar with the Pauls, or a certain CB into CP, "apology videos" has been a surefire way to give you many more reasons for people to call you an ass. If done poorly. The harder you try to sell it as one, the worse it gets instead of just… getting it over with because you don't want to be clowned at when something goes wrong if you haven't screwed it over yet. And "apology videos" are usually going to be insufferable anyways. And throughout this entire timeframe, you gave out fifty reasons by just breaking one rule: never make this about yourself.

Now it's not to say that you have to show your face, you have to open yourself up more, (although it could be extra credit, but given you are a bit of a lil bitch into full-sending about anything, even grifting lifestyles, I'd still assume you'd fail extra credit anyways,) but having the entire wiki of yourself as background for the video is not only the weirdest thing to do at a time like this, but almost makes it look like excessive flexing when you're trying to make something for a serious topic and negates everything a "apology video" is to theoretically stand for. You're basically telling your own audience: "Hey, there's some stuff circulating and going on around me, but look at the accolades that I made during the time, here's some stuff that I did in the past that's totally going to make you forget that I framed someone because I spent four to five months doing absolutely nothing. In which you may be curious about that, but I totally swear it's not about that, and that didn't happen. I'm totally innocent in all of this because I did all of those things so that means I'm free of charge anyways…"

Let's actually talk about your wiki page, since we're stunlocked here, because apart from you even outright lying in your wiki page, there's even one more lie in there that you put and even omitted not too long ago that feels like the perfect cherry on top for your overall character. And I'm going to give you like five or so seconds to look at it and make your own personal guesses for a few.

Times up, if you think I was going to call out the usual suspects like the HAM Radio Podcasts or even Sugarbombed, I'd be giving you A+ for actually paying attention in the class for once, but I'm giving you a B- for having your expectations a little too high especially for Allout Monte who's already at a F- just by the sheer fact that he's coping malding and seething at the concept I decided to debunk his trash video on the anniversary. I'm actually talking about Fallout: New California. Because you didn't lie once or twice, you lied three different times in just that amount of time.

Speedrunning here: Fallout New California, DLC Sized New Game + New Vegas Mod, it did release, don't know what happened to it, probably betting it's good, but that's not the point.

My point is your "involvement." Because your first lie was telling your own people that you claimed to be a writer for Fallout: New California, yet on your wiki page it says contributor, so were you just contributing to the writing or were you just a donator the project? That's such a weird paradox you got yourself going with here.

But wait, there's more! Because lie number three is coming.

I was actually going to be considerate, not hurt your pine needle ego, and let you be with your one little piece of cope to help you recover, but that entirely changed when I discovered the original Fallout: New California Credits List that I archived, and spoiler alert: your whole fucking name wasn't even in there.

You were not even mentioned once.

Not as a contributer.

Not as a writer.

Not as anything.

You outright lied through your teeth with stolen valor, and it didn't even take that long to figure it out, knowing everything about you with your AI hitpieces, I knew for a confident fact that you're someone who doesn't do shit. And the hilarous part is that you outright erased that whole bit when I called out for it when you had a chance to do that almost a whole year ago, and you still kept it on there not expecting anybody or anything to question it or look into it futher if you were really just some dumbass behind a Xbox Live Microphone on a toothpick throne of lies.

Again I know we're getting stunlocked into the first beginning bit, not only that it deserves this long with all I've said earleir, but let me remind you again…

Fallout: Ashfall is now a Chud circle-jerk-ring because of a petty crashout.

Fallout: New Mexico is rolling next to Wyatt Earp in his grave, not only because of a petty crashout, but because he saw another petty crashout, decided to make this about himself, and helped his potentially petty crashout bestie frame his opp as a cognitohazard during that same petty crashout and then cry to his already disappointed parents about it when he got called out for it.

In the interest of time, as your schizo alts, you'll be and still proceed to claim that you're trying to protect Fallout and all Fallout mods against perceived "wokeness" in the form of identity politics.

My brother in the Emperor's Imperium, by glazing yourself to the point it destroyed your entire life and reputation because somebody found out you lied in your resume is by definition: Identity. Fucking. Politics.

You tried to play Identity Politics so hard when your clout points got lost by getting fired in Fallout: Ashfall that it became the death of you. And you are still playing it to this day as every other schizo alt whether it'd be H2E, Sneedclave Anon, Tamriel Rebuilt Community Watchdog, or your new schizo Tumblr home that just so happened to be conviniently placed when a specific someone abused Tumblr's tolerance on mass-reporting (spoiler alert, not a whole lot. Which is why I'm here.) to destroy all the evidence. And still nobody would ever side with you because what they know, already know, and what they're willing to share with everyone else.

Anyways, thanks for the quick TED Talk, moving on…

1:16 - 1:50

Not to say that it ever happened… but considering what I explained about Krimson Graey himself… How much do you want to bet that whole schpeel with him having all these documents were stuff that was already rejected by AshfallDude? Or at the very least, he spammed the entirety of the "apology video" outright glazing.

I mean I could totally be mean and say that wasn't a thing, but given that he almost became reasonable all things considered except for those outliars I talked about… You kinda start to question what he was really yapping about with the history they made for themselves. Like what was even there and what actually wasn't. Just a thought.

1:50 - 2:30

Four to Five Month Absence. Looking at this for the first time on it's initial release date, and then looking back on it almost a year later has got to be the most depressing thing imaginable.

Because you're listening to Allout, yap and harp on and on about being the "model citizen" of the Fallout Community, while knowing everything that you witnessed all those months ago and in-between… you know in some shape, some form, he was just lying this whole time. Everything then basically getting blown over by the aftermath of today with ergrigous smear campaigns, AI… makes you wonder. How the hell was all of this worth it to him?

3:06 - 3:50

Apart from the depression levels of trying to figure out how much of it was a bold faced lie, what he half-assed and what he actually tried to do, there was a point in time where when personally talking one of his former "buds" he did end up saying that he was trying to do this huge mod project and was trying to bug the hell out of Chris Avellone for it. I mean, we both knew it was a fat faced lie, but hearing it for the first time onto here just makes it more ironic. And Chris never got into the project anyways, sot it kinda makes you wonder how that discussion actually went, especially when again, we have Sugarbombed to talk about.

3:59 - 4:13

"Never personally had anything against him."

Spends an entire year having each and everything against him big or small or petty.

Good job.

You can't tell but I'm giving you a thumbs up. But they're replaced with middle fingers.

Also very funny that this becomes a complete 180 after the upload was finished. I actually even wondered what was his entire thought process through the whole thing. I mean I could care so much less about it, but it's just one of those things where you can't help but just have one of those Axolotl stares.

Like you still made those hit pieces. You also made those AI hit pieces. You've proven countless times, that you lied. What are we even doing?

Actually, on the first day I actually heard of this video, I figured that the "apology video" didn't even work and now that I'm looking at it, I'm having this new epiphany, this realization now. That this did work not because it was an done "apology video," (in any sense of the word or definition or state of being) but because less people than he expected managed to get their hands on it, and much less people saw it stared at it for three seconds, and could not tell whether or not to just let it be and do something else or just tap his shoulder and be like, "what are you even yapping about?"

Because the entire ordeal could've just been said and done if you just took the L, and then buzz off to do something else, like the most asinine convoluted situation that went on for this long because it started off with being simple problems, simple solutions. And I guess it broke bruv's brain, like it was too simple.

Not even to mention that one saying about like criminals and hanging around crime scenes, I'm trying to remember what that was but I'm drawing a blank but at this point you're getting it now.

4:30 - 4:44

One this is effectively gaslighting.

Two quick story time, once a friend of mine was against this one goofy goober, I keep forgetting his full "persona" name but his last name was like "Cortez" or something (it was Red Dead Content Creation) and he was like insanely homophobic and a culture vulture and they were calling him out on it. And on the grind to be an ally, I should say, one of the red flags that I learned was not even saying the whole minority group name properly like the whole LGBTQ+ name. I mean, the one exception I usually make is like the "+" of it, because in my head the plus was just what it is: open ended. Like there's going to be a lot more community stuff where they'll debate what to add, what not to add, what to shun, what to protect at all costs and what to keep the hell away from them. That sort of thing. Anyways, the idea was the less letters they said, the redder the flag was. (In hindsight, probably not practical- but hey, people change) Long story short: Cortez failed to pass that Red Flag, he could only say that he's a friend of the LGB Community or something in that vein, and he got outted as a pedophiliac.

If you're wondering why I am talking about this now, look at Allout, look at that timeframe, look at the remnants of How 2 Exist Pranks and Tutorials, now look at the below.

Just something to put into consideration, Allout.

4:44 - 4:48

Now that I'm here one of the weirdest things about anti woke losers of these calibers is like what is this bipolar ass relationship with the LGBTQ+ community?!

For one, by now, you're probably deaf as all shit from the lie detector alarm because of the insane amount of double entendre going on with this one on top of the worst willy nilly use of logical fallacies. And of course, I'm referring to all his schizo alts owned by him where he self glazes so hard, you'd have to imagine whether or not he was the inventor of self grapefrutilation award… Let alone if he's actually bi-curious about himself. To the hate group (Ashfall Dev Team) that threw AshfallDude under the bus for this clown, you say Allout Monte is like this saint of all saints against the sins of wokeness, yet he calls himself a bisexual calling somebody else entirely different a trans bisexual, so by that whole entire logic, would he be a threat to you because he's conflicting with your fight against perceived wokeness by that very notion that he's bisexual, or are you purposefully ignoring the anti-woke code because you found a suspected bisexual who's a better than the apparent bisexual that "potentializes" AI?

Actually, don't even bother answering that, you (Allout Monte) already did it for us in your defunct Sneedclave Anonymous alt. And you (Allout Monte) didn't even bother realizing you were forgetting that you were still LARPing for the self grapfrutilation award.

I guess the upside is that some of these people have enough braincells to understand that they have the free will to like pick and choose and omit whatever they see fit and not agree with certain specifics. But by their own entire logic of this wack anti-woke code, it's literally either the entire thing or leave them alone entirely. That they can never pick the struggle on no matter how many times you try to help him make that choice.

Or here's something that might get that pea brain churning, all the bisexuals including the one you posted up as your "Messiah" of the Fallout Community go away or none at all so they can stay and vibe. It's just so weird.

5:00 - 5:25

"Oh no. I got kicked out of a mod project because of I wasn't doing anything for four to five months. I'm totally not dogwhistling that as harassment while lying and saying that it's okay to avoid the responsibility of taking an L. God save the queens. XP"

- The guy that has zero idea how to play double agent.

Very ironic if you ask me. Not saying anything else. Yet.

5:00 - 5:48

Friendly reminder that the same exact guy that had no idea what he was doing, was also the one making sure nobody worked themselves to the bone over something that costed 0$ to plan, produce, and distribute.

Also the weirdest hypocrisy going on, but at this point, I'm not even going to bother breaking down the worst example of hypocritical irony considering Allout has the worst comprehension skills imagineable. And granted that I know he's reading this in an official impersonation account that at this point he ilegally made several different times now, he's already malding hard enough and finding even lesser and lesser ways to cope.

6:00 - 9:20(-ish)

At this point, you're more than likely (myself included) at the threshold where you're re-experiencing having a conscious for the first time. But instead of having every single thought, question, shoot through your nuerons it's all replaced with every single "What the fuck is even the point?" Thought with everything I've shown you throughout the whole thing.

Like you just never know. And you'll never get to a point you'll know on the sole fact of the amount of lunacy to get from Point A to Point B.

There's also some hilarious points I like to laugh at too. Around like the seven minute mark I believe, he starts talking about Sugarbombed and how it's a even more complicated story than Ashfall and and that's going to be a video for another day… Its been a whole year. And he never made that video.

My literal working game theory about this was right at the moment he said that and hit upload, Allout Monte finally got the audacity to actually grow two more braincells. One to remember the absolute content theft fest Allout Monte committed with Sugarbombed and where it's at now, the other to have this insane-o style panic attack that resulted in running an AI alt, a schizo alt, and an entire chudlogic big brain plan to never make that video and not take responsibility for stealing credit and robbing his own community blind. Yet here I am, I know everything about Sugarbombed now, and he's trying so desperately to try and dance around that until his tap-dancing takes him to the grave.

Anywho...

The other portions of the worst “apology video” status video I've ever seen just involves unironically shittalking his employer where about the eight or so minutes ago (at this point might as well be two hours ago for how long this dragged on for) he was saying he was chill, and that you have nothing against him.

Biploar ass behavior btw.

The rest of the video (I tortured you long enough)

I think I tortured everyone in the classroom long enough so I'm going to speedrun the end of it. From like 9:25 to the rest of the whole video, Allout picks up the last discussion he has with AshfallDude before and during the process of getting the boot and it's so hilarious watching him spin, twist, and like lightly crash out on this entire narrative he was fabricating. The actual section of the first discussion was basically AshfallDude starting, coming in saying “hey, so I'm confirming we don't have this guy working with us anymore, you're being assigned where he left off, but there's some stuff here that some of our crew want you to double check on and just make sure that it meshes well…” that sort of thing and he's not saying it in any specific way he's just talking like you'd imagine how people in semi-professional workplaces actually talk, which I'm surprised that you even a lite crashout to professional talk like that, Monte, I thought you said you were the model citizen doing all this professional work, talking the professional talk, for the entirety of like 11 years at best polite bets, yet here you are getting pressed at the concept that somebody is professionally talking to you the way that you did and that… set you of?

(I mean I know there are cases where my public speaking kind of goes all over the place and my articulations are never perfect, but when I actually sit down to take a guess, evaluate and lock in, I actually do that and know when I'm screwing something up. Like it's one of those things where it kinda makes sense as there being no wonder how people never take you serious as a writer more than you are the worst content thief and grifter imaginable.)

Even all the way to him giving him the boot kind of saying outright like you kinda can't not exist for half a year after saying you're working on it and then come back acting like nothing happened. Which again remembering those rules I talked about in that chapter he didn't even bother notifying any kind of absence whatsoever. In fact the literal last message that would end in radio silence for a whole ass month was actually AshfallDude trying to see how and what he was doing. And then nothing. AshfallDude was literally asking you "How's 'x' Doing?" And you wasted a whole month never answering that.

That's not even mentioning the all for one effort in hiding the actual time stamps- actually thats too much credit for him, he didnt even bother hiding about anything and left it all out in the open for people to put two and two together for themselves which seems to be the most hilarious favorite habit of yours to give everyone the indication to everyone looking at each and every alt- even including the Fallout Ashfall Official that you like to cling on being owned by you and the most doomer-esque people I've ever seen.

And with that I would like to congratulate you on witnessing how to properly set the record straight. On an "apology video."

But wait. There's more.

In a series of unfortunate events. Hubris did get the best of me.

Am I getting currently stalked by these people? More than likely. Have they threatened me by using my personal information as blackmail to ensure I never write again- after they doxed me? Also yes. And they might as well have already started, regardless if I listened or not. Because chances are, not only are any of the alts going to admit that they're owned by Allout Monte by giving me the time of their day of being their newfound favorite Bisexual smut writer that is also a Jewish Mexican, they also showed me that they are the worst pathetic doxers imaginable. Not even being able to full commit to the lifestyle as Allout Monte has always been since he co-opted Sugarbombed. And of course, self reporting that they're owned by Allout Monte and the Fallout Ashfall Dev Team in two sentences or less with the same three arguments their copium addictions refuse to let go of. (More on that one day.)

Why does it sound like I'm unfazed by this?

Don't get me wrong, it was still jarring. But not because of what actually happened alone, but because of the sole fact that it is painstakingly entertaining for Allout Monte to think that this set of events evened the scoreboard to begin with. But that'll be a later story.

So anyways, if you haven't abandoned Twitter already or even plan on trying to stay, god forbid, there are several alts you have to be wary of that are under the ownership of Allout Monte and the converted Fallout Ashfall Dev Team:

Tamriel Community Rebuilt Watchdogs

And

Cletus the Sneed

Yet, of course, we do have to mention that they also run a Fallout Ashfall alt here owned by Allout Monte. No, it's not @falloutashfallproject, who they did proceed to defunct that channel to warn people of the alt. It is the "Fallout Ashfall Mod Official" who is owned by Allout Monte. And chances are, they're probably going to read this one way or another. And then mald to their hearts content.

And one more thing, if you plan on mass reporting again, Monte, don't bother. It's already everywhere.

Anyways… that's about it.

Happy Anniversary to your flop career, Wyatt. c:

Goodbye.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Review Chapter 4!

Okay, this collection of posts will be filled with spoilers, including clips and screenshots, so if you don't wanna see things, then don't look. Some of the things I'm gonna highlight will include references to Remake and other sources to link with the overarching plot. This is a straight path playthrough with no sidequests or extra content.

Now you know, let's go!

Chapter four is a meaty fucker. Once you discount all the waffle you can do with sidequests and other random things, chapters 1-3 aren't actually that long and involved story content wise. Chapter four is really the start of the bulky content. And I'm gonna summarise most of it because I'll be here all day otherwise.

Okay, once we cross the plains and reach Under Junon, we're basically thrown into the fight with Bottomswell, although it's not called that anymore and icba to recall what its new name is.

The battle itself is pretty fun and makes full use of Tifa's flight capabilities if you know what you're doing.

The plot has been changed slightly. We don't rescue Priscilla, but instead it's Yuffie in trouble. Our buddy, Mr Dolphin, has his moment at the end with a combo and he comes back into play later when we climb the electrified tower, which I honestly thought wouldn't happen because it's pretty cringe originally, but they made it work so I can't complain.

Once we've dealt with Bottomswell and made it back to shore, we find the mayor giving Yuffie CPR. Now, I noticed Cloud scrutinising the procedure, so I'm suspicious about this coming back at some point in part three. There was originally a draft of Tifa giving Cloud CPR that didn't make it into the game, so it's possible they're planning on doing something with the idea.

Anyway, we save Yuffie and get a hilarious bit between her and Barret. I honestly love their dynamic. She's such a kid and he's got so little patience for older kids. I feel bad for future teenage Marlene 🤣

After we agree to meet Yuffie, it's back to the inn for some convos and rest. This one with Barret amused me. Cloud knows he likes the limelight and plays along with it. This detail also comes into play later the GS when Cloud's defending Barret to Dio.

On the way to his room, Cloud overheard a strange voice coming from Aerith's room. This is the first hint that Red isn't exactly what he seems to be. We also hear more about the whispers and what happened to them both. This is actually interesting. What exactly did Sephiroth need to steal from them?

This chat with Tifa is non-optional, unlike the others, and delves deeper into their relationship and her suspicions about what he remembers. They have a heart to heart, but aren't quite on the same page, which leaves them both a bit downcast.

Next morning, Yuffie intrudes to let the group know she's been hired to kill Rufus at his inauguration. She escapes and they're left to pursue her and hide in plain sight as troopers. But they also want to talk to Rufus about whether they're actually being hunted.

But before all that, Cloud has to go hopping off the back of a dolphin to climb the tower. And yes, he looks smug when he's done because he's a lil shit 🤣

Meanwhile, we get some snippets leading into part three's storyline in Wutai with EC's Glenn making an appearance. Rufus literally killed him, and going off what he spoke about, it's possible he's actually just Sephiroth in disguise and using Glenn to stoke war and gather more dead souls in the lifestream to corrupt it. But we won't know for sure until part three.

After the failed assassination, Cloud splits up with the others and finds himself stuck with some of the platoon he was directing in the parade. You have to keep them alive to succeed at this part.

At the end of the gauntlet is a rematch with Roche. And after you kick his ass, he helps you get to the dock to board the ferry.

Cloud reunites with his team and has picked up a few stragglers. And Yuffie. Who's in disguise as a robe. But that's for chapter 5.

A lot happens plot wise in this chapter, but most of it is set up for part three. Rufus mentions he's read Cloud's file, so that'll be interesting. There's also the plot with Glenn and stuff with Roche. And that's before we even get to Sephiroth.

oooooo i love to see the pot get stirred 😈

but im also curious as to what you think!

the choose violence ask game-

1, 2, 8, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25

LMAO i just realized thats like… all the questions im so sorry you dont have to answer all of them 😅

i’m over 18 so dont worry! muah!

Oh DAMN. Naturally I’m gonna answer them all!

1. The character everyone gets wrong

Gaz. I think people tend to write him as this sunshine sweet golden retriever boy, when in-game we see that he’s a sarcastic little shit who doesn’t hesitate to take the piss out of Price, his commanding officer. Guy’s way more interesting than what people allow him to be.

2. A compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

Stealing @lunarvicar’s answer to this question nearly wholesale, because I agree entirely. Ghost’s trauma would make it very, very difficult for him to endure bottoming. I think a good fic could manage it, but it would have to be done right.

8. Common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

That ANY of these men want to be fathers. I don’t know why so many fucking people are obsessed with children on this goddamn site.

16. You can’t understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

The fucking hybrid thing??? First of all, put your pussy into it and call it the furry kink that it is. Second of all, most people who write this shit aren’t even writing characters anymore. They’re just writing bad anime porn and slapping the CoD character names on there to generate notes.

18. It’s absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on…

Farah/Alex. The amount of trust that exists between them? Come ON. But god forbid anyone care about a brown woman in this fandom.

19. You’re mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like…

CRINGE IS DEAD AND I KILLED IT BABEY. I will swim in the ocean of A/B/O while humanity remains fearfully at shore.

21. Part of canon you think is overhyped

Uh. I dunno. That any of the stuff that happens in game is indicative of any kind of real-life heroism?

22. Your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores?

Gaz’s aforementioned shit-stirring. I just know he’s so fun to bitch about things with.

23. Ship you’ve unwillingly come around to

This might surprise people, but I was wary of ghostsoap in the beginning. I have never liked fandom’s penchant to hyperfocus on relationships between men to the exclusion of all else—but in fairness to the ship, there isn’t much else in any of these games to pay real attention to. As you can see, ghostsoap and I have lived happily ever after.

25. Common fandom complaint that you’re sick of hearing

“You should just let people write what they want and what makes them happy without bashing it.” Actually Becky, I will continue to be a petty bitch, thank you.

[rockanroller]

The animation was pretty good, the one thing that bugged me to no end were charlie and vaggies bangs they were really distracting and just off character models but the animators put their all, the camera and editing isn’t good. BG/props/color keys were great but too great like it eat the characters up so much, not even Scott pilgrim or castlevania nocturne had this problem Voice acting was ok. Erika is the best thus far Alastor and nifty are alright, Vaggie Angel and husk were rough, Vaggie just sounds dead, Angel goes from sounding like a nasally teenager to trying to sound like Michael, and Keith doesn’t fit husk. They dropped a new clip of husk and Angel. You can hear Kieth David more and he drops the gruff and sticks with his smooth voice and it doesn’t work with Husk. I know people are tired of hearing this but Keith voice doesn’t fit Husk.

Vox and Vel were really good. I thought adam was bad (he is he’s really bad) but man Valentino is terrible, he’s not menacing, he’s keeping changing accents and he’s voices cracks so much it’s funny but also sad I can’t take him seriously he’s such a joke. This was the guy everyone was hyping up on the crew and fanart? People were saying the dialogue sheets they got leaked were old, they were not old, some of the stuff that was on that sheet made to the Final Cut except worse somehow.

people were saying sir pent new va was good and I heavily disagree he sounds worse than the pilot VA. I couldn’t stand his voice.

agreed on the animation/bg/props/color remarks. especially how Charlie & Vaggie's bangs were distracting, they really were especially when it seems like it was such a struggle keeping them on-model making it even more distracting. for the voice acting it's really interesting to me seeing so many different takes on the VA's various performances.

i do think having many of the fans so enthralled with the pilot, hearing voices that are different is jarring, especially if they don't feel like they add up to or match the previous voices' performances or tones. replacing the cast was a really iffy decision and many are insistent it never should've happened while others feel there "had" to have been *some* reason for it. and of course replacing pilots casts isn't unheard of--Billy West voiced Zim in the IZ Pilot episode and we all know that changed, and Richard Horvitz knocked it out of the park and made Zim into an extremely memorable character for many.

but i won't deny there are some obvious weaknesses. these are my personal takes on the voice acting, and you may disagree:

-Charlie was fine, in some points very good, fun execution. the only thing i wasn't a fan of was the "voice breaking about to cry bc this story i'm reading is just so sad" moments she had while reading the "creation story" at the beginning of the first episode, made me cringe. and i do agree with others who've said her cussing felt out of place. (some were fine/ok enough, but others weren't) -Vaggie was...weird, it felt like her voice didn't match, but i got used to it. tho i agree with what some have said how her voice was "too" low-emotion to the point it was bland. i felt her saying "fuck" in her "what the *FUCK* was that" at Alastor felt forced--later swears were ok--and her duetted line in Charlie's Happy Day In Hell song sounded so off that it startled me. -Angel Dust was in and out--his first few lines were *very* rough. voice was all over and cracked in a way that wasn't natural or charming, felt more to me of an "I'm trying too hard to do a specific voice" type of crack/strain. tho i think it either smoothed out or i got used to it bc i didn't notice it the rest of ep 1 or all of ep 2. -Alastor was fine to me. many say they prefer Ed's performance but i haven't seen the pilot since it came out so i'd have to rewatch to say for sure if i feel it's any sort of "downgrade". but i *did* notice, twice, there were lines where they just suddenly dropped his radio filter? that was really weird. it felt like it was supposed to be for...idk...emphasis? like "oh he meant that the filter turned off" but it was just jarring. i also know some feel that they toned down the radio filter too far, but i thought it was okay, and as someone who has a hard time hearing words if they aren't crystal clear, i had a much easier time understanding Alastor in these first 2 episodes than i did in the pilot. -Husk didn't jar me, Keith seemed fine, but again having not seen the pilot in years and Husk having less lines (i think?) i can't remember what Husk originally sounded like. but you're probably right about the gruff getting lost in his lines later. overall it kinda sounded like Keith really enjoyed the cussing and i'm kinda solidly divided on if that made it feel more forced or more natural. -Nifty i *think* was good/decent? she had fewer lines and very brief moments so they went by quickly. -Vox was good, no complaints -Vel was also good, no complaints -Val, like you say, was a mess. right from the get-go his accent was all over the place. it was there, then it wasn't, then another accent was, then it wasn't, then finally several lines later he slipped into this deeper "sexy" accent and i finally was like "oh *that's* what accent it's supposed to be"--he literally would flip-flop between "saucy/menacing voice with an accent" to "flat American voice that's literally just some guy" and it was bewildering. -Adam i loved and i personally feel Alex nailed the lines, i think if anyone else did it he would've been insufferable to me--but i can see how some felt Adam came off badly / too strong. he made me laugh, altho i kinda expect as a character he's going to get worse, it was only his initial appearance that amused me and to reiterate from my last post i lowkey suspect it only made me laugh so much bc the episode so far had already worn me down. -Lute i wanna say was fine but i kinda frankly don't remember. -Sir Pentious was fine to me--really silly--but i again am gonna say i barely remember his pilot voice so i can't say if it's a downgrade to me or not. hearing it w/o remembering what Stamper's performance was like had me feeling like it was a good voice, and he had good moments that made me chuckle. -Katie Killjoy i already mentioned in a previous post but i *really* don't know what they were thinking having Brandon not only voice her but not even do anything unique with it? it was jarring and felt super out-of-place to me. i honestly think his execution was pretty mid as well. i think that's everyone? lmk if i forgot any or you wanna know anything else. and ty for giving me your two cents in the ask!

[raw-law]

light liking The Main Character by Will Wood is very in tune for him. im using the previous Will Wood ask to talk about him myself. overall, i almost prefer the albums he released under the tapeworms name.

im a newer fan for sure (thanks internet friends) but have quickly familiarized myself with his discography. the first song i listened to was Dr Sunshine is Dead. very akin to Noel's Lament from the musical Ride the Cyclone. am absolutely a sucker for theatrics and overdramatics so it was right up my alley.

my initial aversion to listening to Will Wood actually came from I/Me/Myself being a popular tiktok audio. in case i haven't voiced it here, i despise tiktok. it festers negativity. one might argue it is good for spreading activism movements but it is so overrun by misinformation that it loses this purpose. i base this on my personal experience on the app during 2020-2021. i deleted it after that. have only redownloaded it a few times after that to hunt down my old account and cringe at myself. (yes its still public, no you are not getting the @, if u try hard enough, u can find it). all of that to say, i don't like tiktok. thus when songs become popular on there, i used to actively avoid them. it still irritates me sometimes to play songs in the car that are fairly obscure and my friends will sing one random part and I will be like "oh you know (whatever band)?" and they reply "no i know it from tiktok". it has changed how the music scene operates as a whole. there are less localized music scenes and more short form content hoping to get a few lines that make it big on the socials. it makes me sad as a musician and as an artist in this era of over-digitized spread of music. but on the flip side, it does allow musicians to distribute so much easier to a much more vast audience. but there is less close connection with it. i have read books about the music scene of the early 2000s and it is an era we will unfortunately never repeat with the state of the internet.

sorry for the tangent, thats not where i was originally going with that but its where i ended up.

ahhh..... poor noel gruber.. you would have loved will wood.. (oh, the tapeworm albums are a good choice. those have all of my favorite songs. :) )

your thoughts are certainly intriguing though. i see where you're coming from with the whole "festering negativity" bit. it's very... brainrot-y, and it's clearly had a large effect on the overall population. however, i will say that i think all social media platforms do this, and you simply have to learn to control your social media experience to use it in a beneficial way. though it is unfortunate that oftentimes people have to learn that the hard way.

i also very much agree that it's had a heavy effect on the music industry.. it's a bit sad to see, and i don't even consider myself a musician. the only reason i ever liked indulging with music scenes was because i liked observing the community. i've stopped doing it as much as of recent, mainly because it feels like there's less of a community to observe anymore. that can go for a lot of things, actually. everything just feels.. a little less authentic. it's disappointing. i try not to think about it.

despite all that, i don't think it's a crime to enjoy a popular song. simply enjoy the song because of its contents. said song being popular just means it gave you the opportunity to come across it. and who knows, maybe it can give you the opportunity to teach those tiktok friends who only know a section of the song how to appreciate it to its full extent. it doesn't have to be all bad.

i mean... i'll admit, i've taken a liking to taylor swift just today. not sure how i feel about it, but eh.. i couldn't care less. "Picture To Burn" is a fun song. i can't deny it.

Light:

Ooh. I do agree with your point that social media fosters negativity. There've been several really good books written on the subject, actually---social media radicalizes people who mightn't have access to reliable information (I think it's mentioned in How to Stand Up to A Dictator and Misbelief) and also makes people feel self-conscious about themselves, thinking that they have to be slimmer or taller or shorter or better-looking and the list goes on (I'm starting a book about it called Perfect, which mainly focuses on body image issues caused by social media in young girls/women).

However, social media also does have benefits, but like everything, only when it's used appropriately and in moderation. It allows employers to connect with employees and for information to get around the world much faster.

But then again, like you said, Tiktok encourages shorter attention spans in those who frequently use it. People only know part of a song because of Tiktok, not because they truly appreciate it in its entirety. This also encourages musicians to create shorter and shorter songs, which isn't exactly where the music industry should be going towards. However, this also has its benefits, like allowing small indie artists to share their work with a global audience and gain more following, so...

I suppose, at the end of the day, it all comes down to your personal preference. Everything is a double-edged sword, and the most important thing is how you choose to use it.

That being said, I guess don't let Tiktok affect you into avoiding popular songs. My view is, songs can be popular on Tiktok, but if you enjoy them, it isn't worth it to avoid them just because of that. I get what you mean, but that's my opinion.

Thanks for your ask!

It seems like a major difference to my perspective in the two groups is JQ fandom (not all but the ones making the bad rap) SEEKS OUT conflict and it's exhausting and toxic and ruins it. Comments come out to stir it up - sometimes in places where it's not even relevant just because there was a small opening or sometimes legitimately out of left field. Then get mad when others bring up valid talking points and hang on to things and never let them go. JK girlies sure can be a lil unhinged but buy in large talk about what's going on at the moment and don't go seeking out and inserting triggering comments to stir the pot.

Coming here and bringing up CSW and how we talk about her often...yeah. she posts and likes to get papped, we see her in media, she has projects and valid things to talk about because she's also a public figure. Some people here like her some don't. It's no different than Paul getting roped in on this blog from a tangent conversation and now he gets sprinkled in! We've analyzed that relationship because that's fun and ...also gossip but it was/is (I don't even know anymore) totally in the table to discuss. Christ...that's 100% what CSW wanted with those pics.

But we aren't coming back here every week to discuss those October pap pics and her headscarf every time we get a whiff of her name (ok we bring up the ass grab but only when applicable or in fun). We're literally talking about CURRENT CSW and talked about the breadcrumbs she both with JK and personally was sharing with media. That is SO DIFFERENT than absolutely anything that has gone on with JQ. Like...it's apples and oranges guys. And I still see A and K shit getting posted on other blogs. Like....dead horse being beaten, right? It's just not HERE because the mods have boundaries.

And I'm not saying every JK fan is reasonable (they're not. Im sure we all can think of some accounts or twts or whatever that make us absolutely cringe) and I'm not saying every JQ fan is out of pocket at all, but someone or a blog deciding to distance themselves from that kind of behavior is perfectly freaking okay, because they're allowed to have a boundary.

also ngl, and this isn’t meant to be mean to anybody that’s not in the JK fandom, but the JK fans are much funnier. I still think about some of the conversations we’ve had in here and they put me in stitches from laughing. And even on Twitter JK accounts are funnier than the JQ account. I personally like interacting with them more because I think that they’re funny and I like laughing. Whenever JQ gets brought up, which is like happening now, it’s kind of exhausting. It’s never lighthearted.

But I agree with everything you’ve said, and I love your reaction to this!

And you’re absolutely right there are a couple of JK accounts that I find incredibly cringe and weird, and I tried to avoid them. For example, I have them blocked. For the JQ fans I have so many accounts that I considered problematic blocked that sometimes it’s hard to even see anything happening in that fandom . There were so many that needed to be blocked. But both fandoms do have problematic people.

Day 1 sat

Like this gig

Ben came

Felix in car

Day 2

Recording studio

Dinner at Korean bbq

Then off to clubs

Surcuit and the peel

Home at 5 am

Day 3

Sorrento

Ferry

Trapped in the ferry cause late, car at bottom.

Then high, had a massive sad trip, bad trip.

But a great resolution.

Admitted to always being in control and always afraid and finally let loose.

Crying.

Then day 4

Beach with Elaine

Coming down hangover. Feeling weird all day at chadstone. Shopping, buying clothes.

Eating tgi Fridays.

Left clothes at first restaurant, Japanese, too expensive.

Then, dropped off to air BnB in Docklands

Marina tower level 10 1012

Had sex for the first time with condom

Using lube

Then off to the toff

Got high again using Lachlan’s vape.

Told the story of last night. Living authentically.

Having good friends.

Socialised, met a 19-18 year old band, Jackson.

Danced with Ben, matching outfits looked too gay and cringe, not in vibe, but was fun. I didn’t dance enough he said.

I felt his distance and was distant himself. He said, I know we’re gay, but I didn’t want to look too gay. It’s not the gay for me, there were other gays there kissing. It’s the fact that we were matching and looked so out of place, very gay for a jazz vibe, checkered shirts, steel gates, indie artist vibe.

It didn’t matter, but I didn’t dance with him as much. He placed my hands which were on his waist, down to his ass. I danced behind him.

I was also conscious of all my friends being on stage and didn’t want to make a fool of himself.

Sometimes it was hard to balance on one leg, but I ended up dancing outside McDonald’s at 4 am in the morning to APT, Bruno mars.

Talking to Felix and everyone backstage took a lot of concentration

It was really good to see Felix in his element. I’d love to do a residency like that somewhere as a piano bar entertainer, all bougie and new, vibe. Sexy, sex appeal with my music.

Day 5

We went to surcuit Wednesday night

It was dead but we talked to this Dutch guy and his Scottish friends who were girls. Ben is very very social and conversationally gifted.

We had this coach student role play

Day at the air BnB

We had dinner at the Thai place

Went to Melbourne central

Rainy day

Sex shop

Flinders street station

Bought weed tobacconist cone

Day 6

Supposed to go to peninsula hot springs

Elaine’s car conked out.

Dad picked us up instead. Checked out early.

Ben left his cum shorts and Pyjama top somewhere

We had sex three times that morning

Once before swimming

After swimming

Before shower and after shower

Ben tried fucking me failed

Then did without condom and succeeded

Elaine was angry as Ben Raw dogged me and Elaine doesn’t trust Ben

May 25 not a trustable date

Fav memory of Ben in pool kissing with hard ons

Went to hot springs

Rescheduled for next day

Then at night

Went to club

Ben had pre drinks and went in with the intention of kissing other guys.

After we agreed that would be ok

I said straight away

I can’t deal, please, end the rule, and just be open in Sydney.

But he didn’t listen

First one he kissed was a Mexican fat dude because he was given cocaine

People pleased him as payment

I was stabbed

Then I stayed away from him playing pool because I was hurt

He tried to kiss me and I refused

So he kissed Elio

A guy called Elio

A twink at 1:44 am

And I walked right up to him and said I told you not to

He said I’m sorry

So I said

I’m waiting in the car

You tell me when you’re ready

I’m gonna sleep

Ben admitted later he was so depressed he wanted to jump into oncoming traffic

He couldn’t breathe and ran after to Me

He wanted to push the boundaries kissing right in front of Me

On the way home around 3 am

He was crying as he came down from the high

I said

I’m sorry I was so blind

I said

We can’t continue this from here

I’m still going to hug you and treat you nicely

But after

That will be it

It was heavy and sad

Day 7

Saw Loraine

Ben’s nanna

Who lives in Brighton beach where the boy had sea lice eat his legs

Enclosed swimming area in ocean

I spoke well

But we were sad and distant

I fucked Ben in the shower like a hook up with no feeling

It was sad and empty

But I was still hard

Blue toned and depressing

Later on it warned up

And we were both crying.

Elaine wasn’t pleased after I told her.

Went to hot springs that night.

Day 8

Went to Mordialloc to eat breakfast

Tommy ruff

Beach

And then

Went to my gig

Ben socialised with over twenty people he didn’t know, and drank 7 drinks, feet in pool

Very comfortable

Was told off my Claryssa

For drinking too much

You don’t want the brides anger taken out on you

Then my contact lens fell out driving home

Shannen with us

Then watch liar liar

Smoked weed on the balcony sitting on my piano stool watching the ants

He said they’re like all the people in the world

And I compared them to my itchy skin and thoughts in my head

I fell asleep during the movie

And Ben said he thought it was cute as I snored on his chest

Lying on him

Day 9

Mum prepared a big breakfast

Last day

We cried and held each other to cigarettes after sex

Sweet

And then ice skating

Ben was surprised I was better than he expected

You’re not bad

Then off to the airport

Holding his hand in the car

Seeing him leave

Was so heartbreaking

Kissing me goodbye

In his matching juicy outfit and guess bags

So heartbreaking as he left.

[the-firebird69]

And yeah the protein mix has sugars and a lot more than they're saying and they're not right for doing this to him and we mentioned it and they kept doing it and the rock is out of line and he knows it and he says he can't help it well we can't help it either and we need them out and his people are irate out of control and are going to be a problem and yeah in moments we need to get control over this area and the situation it is getting worse by the hour and incrementally we need to reassess here every hour and then put it out there and it's going in process I am really quite upset at the conditions here he's not healed much and in some cases have gotten worse and I'll mention it in a moment well

-he has scalp issues that are not getting better they keep healing and not fully and it's it's very tiresome

-the warts are healing partially some come back worse a lot of them are starting to fall off but he has to hyperoxygenate and it is difficult

-he has a severe problem with sugar it's not getting any better and people are not leaving him alone on it they're certainly not helping and the recent issue with the protein powder is proof they're also a lot of people lying about the contents of their product meltedrine is sugar it's not even a natural sugar it's an additive and it's an added sugar and we're opening lawsuits on them today there's a lot of them because people get sick we want them to know that they're going to go to prison for doing this stuff and they're going to go now we don't have any time for them what they're doing is gross and we do need them out we have no time today for popcorn it will make him poop and he said he does not want to poop we don't want him to and we can see Ken cringing but he wants the flavor and a son says you can get a hot dog or pretzel bites and he says no can do and we understand that the popcorn is very nice tasting but for some reason it comes right out it is because it's corn and it's a laxative kind of and it's what it is. And yeah he's getting some strange calls and we are going to tell them off they're calling up and they're going to say it's not right and s*** like that and what he says is go to prison get sick and have some sugar in there ketchup and stuff like that iit's the end of dead because they say we're going to get you. We're going to begin our programs to get rid of you pieces of crap we needed to do it a while ago and we see it we don't need you around and we're going to unleash the kraken and this one guy is real good at this right there and Duke Nukem Blockbuster and actually his son is probably number two I'm getting ready to jackasses for real we're going to have to have a competition I'm going to be friendly and he says it's going to be forgetting me stuff because it's an honor and a duty and people are competing over it and not getting anything and he says regular stuff not the big stuff and they agree and it's going to be fun but he's got a ton of them he says never act up a lot of points when he can't get stuff for himself so he has to end the points off to Hera and she says that's fine I'll have to hand my points off to the guys and we say you can't do that so back to square one. It's really weird so Daniel is going to head out and he's going off to Spain she wants to find our son's child for him holding on to money that's not his and his father is called him saying go and get it for him and say they can't he keeps pressuring him and he doesn't want him around anyways and we don't either a couple of things are happening here

Pairing: Corpse Husband x Fem! Reader

Summary: Sean invites one of his good friends - Y/N - to play with him and the group. She has a lot of fun with them, but at the same time is too oblivious, too nice, and too pure to notice that one particular Among Us player has taken a liking to her the moment he heard her voice...

Notes: Hello everyone! This is the very first time I’m publishing something bigger in here, I’m honestly still figuring out how Tumblr works, even though I’ve had this account for quite some time now 😅. That being said, please don’t expect anything super impressive. I tried my best though just so you know. 🥺

A/N- It didn’t turn out as I expected, but I really hope at least some of you find it enjoyable :(

Y/C/N - your channel name

part 5 

PURE [1]

“Did you guys find anybody?” Felix asked, as the number of players still showed just 7 of them. They could just start now, but the game would be way more fun with a full lobby. 

“Yeah, Lily’s joining. I just texted her the code, so she should be here at any moment.” Sykkuno replied after receiving a text message from the said girl. “Oh, and Corpse also said he’d be joining soon.” 

“Great. Anyone else?”

 “I think Jack was also bringing someone, right?” Dave asked.

“Huh? Oh yeah, I have one coming, she’ll join us in a few” the asked man replied at the same moment Lily’s character appeared in the lobby. 

“Who you’re bringing Jack?” 

“Y/N” he said, causing Felix to gasp in shock and yell into his mic:

“How the fuck did you manage to convince her? I’ve been bugging her about this game for the past week and she always had some excuse!” 

“What can I say, my charm is irresistible” Jack replied nonchalantly, causing everyone in the lobby to laugh at his fake deep voice.

The number of participants changed to 9, as a little black astronaut with horns on his helmet appeared in the lobby. 

“Corpse, you’re here!” Rae’s character ran up to the man, circling him excitedly. 

“Hey man!”

“What’s up, Corpse?”

“Hello everyone” his deep voice sounded out “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“All good man, we’re still waiting for one person.” Felix reassured him “Sean, why is she not here yet? Are you sure you’ve sent her the right code?”

“Of course I am!” he all but shouted at Felix “And about that, she just texted me to give her a few more minutes and that we should start without her.”

“We can just wait, right?” Lily offered, earning a few hums of approval from the others.

“I think it might take a little longer than a few minutes, she has some problems with her microphone.”

“Who are you guys talking about?” Corpse asked, completely unaware of who Jack was referring to.

“Wait, Jack, you mean Y/N from Y/C/N?” Sykkuno asked suddenly, only then realizing why this name sounded familiar

“Yeah, the one and only” Jack replied, a smile evident in his voice.

“Oh my god, I love her videos!” Rae exclaimed at that “She’s so funny and sweet!”

“Yeah! Her new video is so freaking cute, I wish she’d upload more often.” Poki agreed. 

“Right?” Jack said, clearly very proud of his friend. “But don’t let that sweet demeanor fool you guys cause she’s one of the best players I’ve encountered in this game.”

“That’s true, she’s a secret big brain genius” Toast confirmed, making Pewdiepie gasp once again. 

“wHAT??YOU TWO PLAYED WITH HER?!” Felix’s offended voice boomed through everyone’s headphones “HOW DARE YOU. HOW COULD YOU NOT INVITE ME?!” 

“That’s for not inviting me to your latest Cringe episode!” Jack was quick to respond, making others in the lobby laugh at their mini fight. 

“Oh, so that’s where I recognized her from!” Sykkuno nearly shouted when he finally put two and two together. “I can’t wait to meet her, she seems like a really nice person.”

“She is! When she got impostor for the first time she refused to kill me” Toast explained, earning himself a couple of Aww’s from his friends. “So we just ran around the emergency button until I called the meeting and voted her off.”

“Yeah, only to be her first victim in the next game.” Jack all but giggled, clearly very amused at the memory of Y/N going into a full berserk mode. No one except for him and Toast knew how good she really was at this game... 

“She’s basically the wolf in sheep’s skin” Felix concluded with a chuckle “Very soft wolf, however.”

“She’s like the complete opposite of Corpse, both in voice and personality” Jack suddenly said, making Felix laugh wholeheartedly at something only two of them understood at the moment. 

“I don’t know how should I take that” Corpse admitted with a chuckle. He remained silent for most of the conversation since he didn’t really know who the guys were talking about. But he would lie if he said he wasn’t intrigued by this girl at least in the slightest. Although he heard about her channel, he hasn’t seen any of her videos, so he didn’t really know what to expect. But hearing what gamers like Sean and Felix said about her, he knew he’s not gonna be disappointed once the girl joins them in the game. 

“Imagine Corpse and Y/N talking.” Felix said suddenly with a seemingly very amused voice.

“Imagine Corpse and Y/N both being Impostors” Toast said, which resulted in many of them shouting over each other at how crazy that would be. 

“Alright, now that you mention this I start fearing the moment two of them meet” Jack confessed with loud laughter following the sentence. Corpse chuckled deeply under his breath, at the same time glancing at the questions his audience was asking him in his stream. He could hardly read any, as there were quite a lot of people asking, so all he saw was just a bunch of comments moving at the speed of light in his chat. He wouldn't say it out loud, but he was slightly nervous, seeing the growing number of people watching his stream. It was still a rather new thing to him, and he feared he'd say something inappropriate, or just make a complete idiot out of himself. 

"At least no one can see me..." he mumbled under his breath after muting his microphone. 

"Oh! Y/N just texted me! She's joining the call right now!" 

"Fuck yeah!" Felix shouted excitedly "Just so you know Jack, I won't forget that you two played without me."

"Uh-oh. Is that a threat? Are you threatening me now?" 

"It's a warning" Felix replied, receiving a series of gasps from other players. "If I get impostor, you're the first one on my list."

"Okay, everyone heard that! You know who to vote off when I'm dead!" 

"It's so cool to play with someone new, I wonder if she's as good as you guys depict her" Sykkuno spoke up, but before anyone could answer his question, a new character popped up in the lobby.

*** 

"Hi everyone! I’m sorry I left you just like that, but this stream would be completely useless without me being able to answer your questions. Fortunately it wasn’t anything serious, I just had to readjust my mic and go through the settings to find what was wrong. Took some time, but here I am now!” Y/N chirped into her microphone, smiling apologetically at her webcam. At the moments like this, she really appreciated how supportive her audience was. No one was hating on her when she had to get off the stream for a couple of minutes, and everyone was just so understanding that it made her heart melt. Perhaps her audience wasn’t very big, but it felt almost like a second family to her. 

“Anyway, as you already know from my twitter, today I’ll be playing Among Us with my friends and their friends! I can’t wait if I’m being honest, last time I played this game was so much fun, and there was only a few of us.” she admitted with a genuine smile on her face. “Let’s just text Sean now so we can get into the lobby...”

Y/N: Ready to play with you guys ^^

Jackaboy: Great! You got that mic fixed already? 

Y/N: Yes, everything is fine. I’m sorry you had to wait so long.

Jackaboy: It’s all good kiddo, no worries. I’ll call you and send you the code in a sec. 

Y/N: Perfect, thank you Sean :)

Jackaboy: Btw, everyone can’t wait to meet you ;-)Y/N stared at the screen for a moment, only now, seconds before joining the group, realizing how nervous she felt. From Sean’s tweets she saw earlier, she figured that the lobby was right now full of many famous streamers, those she wouldn’t even compare herself to. It’s not that she thought of herself very low, but... being among such youtube celebrities like them made her panic a little bit. She didn’t want to look like a complete fool amongst them. 

Playing or recording with Sean and Felix was something else because she knew those guys for years (and yet still sometimes found herself thinking how lucky she got to be able to call them her friends). She felt good in their company, not worrying about choosing the right words. But amongst the rest of the players, she knew only Toast and talked with Rae maybe once in her life... 

What if the rest won’t like her? 

Y/N cleared her throat, realizing that she was still staring at her phone like hypnotized and her audience was already asking her what’s going on. She quickly typed in the code Sean had texted her and readjusted her headphones, before joining the discord chat.

“THERE SHE IS” screamed Sean, making her grin from ear to ear, hearing how excited he was “Little wonderchild!”

“I think you meant little TRAITOR” Felix corrected him with a scoff. A silence settled in the lobby as everyone was waiting for Y/N to speak up.

“Um... hello everyone..” she said softly, almost inaudibly, a sudden wave of shyness taking over her. “I’m Y/N” 

“Oh, you were right about that Corpse thing!” replied another, also very soft and very sweet voice, and Y/N saw the image of someone named Lily pop up. “It’s like the exact opposite!” 

“See? Told ya. Everyone, meet Y/N/N, the little angel from Y/C/N.” 

“Hey Y/N!”

“Hi there!”

“Hey, what’s up?”

“H-Hi, so great to meet you, Y/N!” a very friendly sounding voice said, and a little lime astronaut with the name Sykkuno above it started running around her. “Can’t wait to play with you!”

“That’s so nice, thank you” she replied with a wide smile on her face, moving around his character as well. “I can’t wait to play with you too, actually with all you guys. It’s so great to be here with you.”

“Jack I swear she’s the cutest little thing I’ve ever heard. Where the hell did you find her?!” Poki all but yelled at the man, making Y/N giggle to herself and in-process loosen up a little bit. They all seemed like someone she’d happily be friends with. 

“Or rather, where do you get one?” someone else commented, making them all burst into laughter, Y/N included. 

“Guys, what did I say about that sweet demeanor...” Jack said after calming down from his fit “Don’t put your guard down just because she sounds like that!”

“Wait- what did you tell them about me?” Y/N asked confused, the tone of her voice making him laugh even more “Jack!”

“Don’t worry, only the good stuff” a very deep, low voice spoke up, leaving her taken aback for a moment. Her eyes widened slightly and she glanced at the name of that person, reading out CORPSE. Now that’s something she didn’t expect... 

“Corpse, mind your manners! You didn’t even introduce yourself!” 

“Oh, shit- yeah, sorry. Um, I’m Corpse, it’s very nice to meet you Y/N” he replied right after, making her lip corners curl up into a smile. 

“Nice to meet you too Corpse, you have a really pleasant voice.” she spoke sweetly, completely unaware of the chaos that was taking place in her stream chat. She didn’t even think of it the way her audience did, she just simply spoke up her mind, and being an incredibly nice person - turned it into a compliment.

“Oh- wow. I mean, thank you so much. I love your voice too, it’s really sweet” he replied, nervously chuckling at the end, before muting his mic. It was, however, enough for Felix and Sean to start teasing him, as the two immediately screamed:

“SIIIMP!!!”

“It’s the voice Felix, I told you he’d fall into her trap!” 

“Wait- he was just being nice, guys! Stop making fun of him” Y/N immediately defended the man, trying to speak up over the hysterical laughter of the other players. 

“Oh my god, but what if they both get impostors and they both pull the voice cards on us?!” Rae managed to yell through all the noise, making Y/N even more confused.

“Wait, what? What do you mean? I don’t understand.” 

“Don’t worry Y/N, that’s how I feel all the time around them.” Sykkuno seemed to be the only one who heard her question, as the rest continued their gabbing without giving her as much as a glance. 

“Alright, let’s start the game maybe. I might have a few old scores to settle” Toast cleared his throat theatrically, his astronaut coming face to face with Y/N’s. 

“Oh, you mean me? I thought I already apologized!” she replied frantically. “You gave me no choice Toast, I didn’t even want to kill you in the first place...”

“BUT YOU DID. IN THE VERY FIRST ROUND” 

“I’m sorry!” 

“Alright, enough! Toast, just don’t kill her right away, okay? Let her run around the map, fearing for her life for a moment.” Y/N gasped upon hearing Jack’s words, clearly sensing the smirk behind his voice. 

“Wha- Jack?! Since when are you against me?!” 

“Don’t worry Y/N, I won’t let them hurt you. You haven’t played with us yet, I’ll protect you.” 

“Oh, thank you so much Sykkuno! I’ll protect you too!” 

“Great. Another one simping...” was Felix’s last words, before the game began. 

Y/N sighed in relief upon seeing the word crewmate forming on her screen, but at the same time feared Toast’s inevitable revenge. She thought they'd already buried the hatchet, but it seemed that he was desperate to make her pay for the last time they played together. 

“Aw, Sykkuno was serious” she mumbled with a smile, when his lime astronaut started circling her white one, so she would follow him. “Okay, let’s do some tasks.”

They both made their way towards the medbay, Sykkuno patiently waiting nearby as she did the scan, then Y/N waiting for him to do the same. The moment his little character stepped towards her, a meeting was called by none other than Felix.

“What happened?” Rae asked.

“I called the meeting because I’m afraid of Jack” he responded, causing everyone to laugh. “Seriously though! Dude’s been following me around the whole time.”

“I was just making sure nobody kills you.”

“Yeah don’t go all Sykkuno on me!” Felix screamed, making the call erupt into even more laughter. 

“Alright, are we skipping?” 

“Yeah.”

“Guys, my life is in danger!” Felix wouldn’t give up. “Come on, show some support! Y/N? You played with him, you know his techniques!” 

“Sorry Felix” Y/N giggled, clicking the skip button. 

When the next round began, Sykkuno was quick to join Y/N on her way towards admin, where they both found Poki doing the upload. They did the card swipe and left her there, when the lights suddenly went off.

“Uh-oh. Let’s head the opposite direction, Sykkuno” the girl murmured, dancing around his character and heading towards Comms instead of going to Electrical. It was the easiest way to die, after all. 

Once they entered the room and waited for someone to fix the lights, Y/N could see another figure appear in the same location. She couldn’t recognize whose character it was, but upon seeing the horns on the helmet she smiled to herself.

“Hey there, Corpse” she said, walking up to the black astronaut, who was standing still in the same place as if he was just watching her and Sykkuno run around Comms instead of doing their tasks. 

They stood like that for a couple of seconds until Corpse turned around and ran away, and that’s when the first body was reported. 

“Oh no, Jack!” 

“Poor guy. He’s gonna haunt us now.”

“Where’s the body?” 

“Navigation” replied Rae, who was the one to find Sean’s green astronauts’ body “Didn’t see anyone around, but I’m pretty sure someone just vented right in front of my eyes...”

“Any suspicions?” Toast asked.

“Um, not really sure, it was the exact same moment the lights went off. I was doing tasks with Jack and then he just died. I only saw the vent close, nothing or no one else.”

“Okay, where are you guys right now?” 

“I’m in admin with Dave, we only passed Poki when we got there.” Lily’s voice sounded out, quickly being joined by Poki’s explanation.

“Yeah, I was finishing the upload when you guys came in, Y/N and Sykkuno saw it”

“Did you see her?” Toast asked, addressing his question towards the white and lime astronauts. 

“Yes, we were doing the card swipe before going to Comms. Corpse joined us for a moment and then left.”

“Yeah, I was on my way to fix the lights when I stumbled upon them in Comms, the body was reported the exact moment I left.”

“Can someone confirm this? I mean, did someone see you besides the two of them?” Toast continued his questioning. 

“I think I only saw Felix in Medbay.”

“Hmm, so no one really knows where you were this whole time. You could easily lure Jack into Navigation and kill him there. Is that what you did, Corpse?”

“Woah, that’s some serious accusation” Corpse replied in his usual, low and calm voice. “Where were you Toast? You seem the only one who still doesn’t have an alibi”

“Neither does Felix.” Y/N spoke innocently, and the mentioned man quickly started his explanation.

“Okay, I was with Jack at the beginning but he clearly can’t confirm this since someone snapped his fucking neck. We’ve split up in O2 after doing our tasks and then he must’ve gone with Rae. I just wandered around the map, escaping from the death.”

“Hmm, so not only were you one of the last people to see him alive, but you also admit to not doing your tasks” Y/N said, trying her best to keep her voice steady and stop herself from laughing. She was sure Sykkuno was doing the same thing, they both refused to do any tasks after the lights went off, after all.

“Yeah, but does that already makes me an Imposter? I’m just scared for my life, that’s all.”

“Y/N has some good logic, but I’m not really sure it’s Pewds. I mean, I saw him in Medbay and he really seemed to be just jogging around.” Corpse said, his voice almost immediately doing its magic, as people more or less willingly agreed to skip this round as well. 

“I think it’s Felix. I mean, I haven’t played with him yet, but I have this feeling that he’s just acting.” Y/N said to her chat after muting herself. She went towards Weapons to do another task, seeing Sykkuno’s little character follow her once again, but the doors were suddenly locked and his lime astronaut remained in Cafeteria. “Oh no, Sykkuno” she sighed with a pout on her face, deciding against waiting for him and risking getting her neck snapped. She finished her task in Weapons and moved towards another location, when suddenly Corpse appeared in front of her, coming right out of nowhere. 

“Oh- Corpse, you scared me to death” Y/N breathed a laugh, watching as his character stood still for a couple of seconds, before circling around her white astronaut. Y/N nodded her head with a smile, even though he couldn’t see her, and followed him in Shields, where they found Poki’s dead body. 

“The body is in Shields” Y/N replied right after reporting the body, only to gasp in shock when she realized more than one person was killed. Red crosses decorated not only Poki’s name but were also visible next to Dave and Lily. 

“What the hell?!” Felix all but yelled into his mic, obviously shocked just like everyone else who was still alive. 

“Now that’s... a lot of bodies” Sykkuno mumbled under his breath. 

“Alright, who’s in Shields? Y/N, you said you found the body there, which one?”

“Poki’s, Corpse was there with me” her reply was followed by his short and low hum. 

“Sykkuno, where are you? I didn’t see you anywhere since the last round.” Felix asked, clearly accusing the lime astronaut of being a murderer. 

“I was... doing the wires in electrical, Toast was there for a moment as well.”

“Yeah but I was only searching for the body, so I saw you maybe for a second” Toast replied, building even more suspicions around Sykkuno.

“But- guys, you know I wouldn’t kill two people in one round, let alone four of them.”

“No one says you did that, I only mentioned that you were nowhere to be seen. You could’ve been sabotaging the map for the other Impostor” Felix said nonchalantly.

“Guys, I-”

“It’s him! It must be him!” Rae shouted through her mic. 

“Sykkuno is 100% innocent, I can vouch for him” Y/N’s voice sounded out in everyone’s headphones “We were together since the start of the game and he didn’t kill me, even though he had quite a number of chances to do so.”

“Weren’t you with Corpse this time?” Felix asked suspiciously.

“I was! But at the beginning, I was with Sykkuno, until someone locked him in Cafeteria. That’s when we split up.”

“And you haven’t seen him ever since?”

“Well, no, but-”

“Then I can assure you it was only a matter of time before he’d stab you in the back” Toast concluded, making Sykkuno gasp in confusion.

“Wha- No, I would never do that! Y/N is our guest, I was just making sure she was okay!”

“Sykkuno, simping won’t save your life right now” 

“Wha- I- Guys!” he tried to stutter out some logical explanation “Y/N, don’t believe them!”

“I don’t, I know you’re innocent! C’mon guys, he wouldn’t do it!” 

“Yeah yeah, let’s kick him out. Corpse, who are you voting?” Toast asked, and Y/N could see the I voted sign next to his character. 

“I kinda feel like Felix tries to shift the blame onto Sykkuno. He didn’t even tell his location, and was already throwing accusations on someone else.” Corpse replied after a moment, making the smile widen on Y/N’s face. Someone was finally on her side! 

“That’s because he can’t even explain himself!” Felix exclaimed, voting as well. 

“Besides, I’m pretty sure if it wasn’t for whoever locked that door, Y/N would be dead as well!” 

“No, I told you I-!”

“Guys, we have ten seconds to vote. Rae?” 

“I think it’s him as well. He was acting suspiciously since we started this round. I vote Sykkuno”

“But..!” 

“No, Sykkuno...” Y/N whispered with a pout on her lips, when she saw the number of people who voted for her lime friend. 

Sykkuno was ejected. 

“Alright, I’m pretty sure it’s Felix. I saw Rae multiple times and she didn’t kill me, Toast also doesn’t act very Impostor like, but maybe that’s just one of his strategies... Corpse is with me again, I don’t think that’s him, I mean, he followed me around last round, but still didn’t do anything, and even vouched for me and Sykkuno when we were both clearly chilling in comms. It can’t be him... right?” 

 Dead body reported.

 “I just saw Corpse kill Toast, then vent!” Rae’s voice blared through Y/N’s headphones, as she looked in shock at the red cross next to Toast’s name. If not him, then..?

“What?” the accused man asked calmly “That’s a self-report, she’s trying to frame me. You guys can’t possibly believe her.”

“I believe her. I saw you enter the Electrical with Toast, then he’s suddenly dead” Felix said. 

“That’s because she vented in there and killed him.”

“No! I swear, Y/N/N you have to believe me!” she directed her words towards the girl who remained silent during their discussion, processing her accusations over and over in her head. “I was fixing the wires, Toast was doing another task, and then boom! I see Corpse snapping his neck!”

“How could you see that if the lights were off?” Y/N suddenly asked, making Rae cut her own sentence off “No one went to fix them, they were off the entire round.”

Silence. 

“It’s Rae, it must be her” Corpse couldn’t help but laugh wholeheartedly at how small was the mistake which completely blew Rae’s cover. “We’re voting Rae, right Y/N?”

“No! Guys, I mean, let me explain, I-!”

Rae was ejected. 

“Now that was something I didn’t expect. I would’ve never thought it was her, I even suspected that Sykkuno might really have been the other Impostor, but now... It’s just me, Corpse, and Felix. I’m clear, clearly, so it must be one of them. And since Corpse protected me for the past few rounds, there’s no other option than...”

Her eyes suddenly widened when the realization hit her, and she quickly turned around to speed towards the emergency button. Fortunately, no one was around to stop her from calling the meeting.

“Felix.” Y/N started, trying to contain her excitement and sound seriously “Where were you when Sean was killed?”

Neither Corpse of Felix said a word, as it was probably the last question they expected her to ask. Felix cleared his throat, however, and finally replied:

“Y/N, that was literally the beginning of a game. How am I supposed to remember what I did then?”

“Well” she said nonchalantly “I, for example, clearly remember the things you said even when we were in the lobby.”

“What are you implying?” 

“Wasn’t it you, who told everyone that Sean was your number one if you get Impostor?” she asked with a wicked smile on her face. Felix was dumbfounded, he obviously didn’t expect her to pull that card on him, hell, he didn’t even know how she knew about it since she wasn’t even in the call at the time. 

“FELIX” Corpse suddenly broke the silence, simultaneously breaking the said man from his train of thoughts. 

“Okay, first of all- YOU WEREN’T EVEN IN THE CALL WHEN I SAID THAT” he yelled through his mic, making both Y/N and Corpse laugh, as it only confirmed their suspicions. 

“See? You only proved my point.” 

“Oh, fuck’s sake- I was just joking okay?!” he tried to defend himself, but hearing how he couldn’t even contain his own laughter anymore, it was clear he already accepted the defeat. “It wasn’t serious, god damn it!” 

“You know what to do, Y/N” Corpse’s voice asked through her headphones, and surely, she knew exactly what to do.

“C’mon Y/N, that’s not fair! At least let me explain myself!” 

“Bye Felix” she said in an overly dramatic tone before Corpse voted as well. 

Soon enough, the sign VICTORY could be seen on her screen, which made her squeak and joy. This game was really fun, even though she was so scared of being killed first. 

“I knew it! I knew you would figure out it’s him! That son of a bitch who murdered me!” Jack basically yelled out, clearly very happy about the result. 

“Y/N, seriously now, how did you know I’ve said that?” Felix asked without even hiding his surprised tone.

“Let’s just say I might’ve stolen some of your viewers, Felix” she admitted, winking at her webcam, a new wave of comments landing on her chat. “Thanks guys!” 

“Okay, that is rude and not fair!” 

“It helped me win, so I’ve got nothing else to say” Y/N grinned from ear to ear, before muting herself for a moment to finally answer some of the questions from her chat, while the rest took a quick break to eat something or go to the bathroom.

She was halfway through telling the story of how she met Sean when she noticed she got a message from a private discord chat. 

CORPSE: That was really impressive :)

Y/N smiled to herself upon seeing his text and quickly typed out the answer. 

Y/N: Thanks!! I wouldn’t have done that without you though, you stood up for me and Sykkuno and all

Y/N: Also, thanks for protecting me from being murdered ^^

CORPSE: No problem, I knew you were innocent right away. 

CORPSE: Anyway, good game, Sean was right saying that you’re one of the best players

She couldn’t help the blush that arose on her cheeks, it was very sweet of him to say that, even though she didn’t actually do much except for exposing Felix. 

Y/N: I wasn’t an Impostor though, so you didn’t really see much :)

She watched the three dots beside his name, that signaled he was still texting. The chat was completely forgotten, but people seemed to quickly notice that small, shy smile on her lips, and the pink tint decoring her cheeks.

CORPSE: Okay, now I’m intrigued... 

Y/N: Maybe we’ll both be Impostors one day ^^

CORPSE: Can’t wait for that to happen.

Soon enough, they returned to the lobby to begin another game. Y/N glanced at her chat for a second, and the moment she returned her eyes to the game, her jaw basically dropped. 

IMPOSTOR was written in bold letters in the middle of the red screen, right above her name.

Corpse’s little character was standing beside her.

not an artist myself, but i just gotta say i really agree with solki -- you give really detailed comments (in the tags hehe) about what you love about the art, what you found amazing, and all that.

it takes a great artist too to be able to pinpoint exactly what parts they love about an artwork. (i for one, don't have a great eye for that)

you're doing god's work by providing so much encouragement to everyone <33 (i'm not even an artist, but the stuff you comment also on the stuff i take time to make are so <3) (and seeing you do it for lookism artist makes me happy, such a warm & positive response makes way for more art for us!)

looking forward to seeing more of your art in the future so we can give appreciation to it too. love u. :-)

its such high praise thank u so much !!! 💓💕💞💕💘💓💘💖💕💖💕💕

love u too and i hope ur having a great day/night 💖

(not to be a cheesy ass bitch but a lot of what i do stems from my own experience; i know what its like to made fun of for expressing joy/talking a lot about something and that shit hurts so i never want anyone to experience that,,

thats why i love giving compliments and encouragement bc happy ppl make me happy and i think its cute when people get excited about what they love :] cringe culture is dead, be free!!! and always rmbr kindness makes the world go around!!!!!!)

there was a break in. honestly pretty clever of the intruders, to do it while all the combat-trained people were away on a mission. bad for you though. very bad. you scan the workshop, looking for anything that would be of use here. random big heavy pipe. perfect. blunt force instrument. you scuttle over to it, and arm yourself. you remove your scalp piece as well, and hide it with all the boring nuts and bolts and hand tools, where they probably wouldn't think to look. is there anything else you should do before they get to you. uhhh. oh yeah, duh. you perform a partial system backup, just of the new and important stuff. in case this goes badly. they're getting closer. you leave the workshop to meet them in the halls. you lock the door behind you, it *might* stop them. or slow them a bit.

you're holding up pretty well, given that you weren't designed for combat. their squishy little skulls do make it easier for you to take them out, but there's quite a lot of them. you don't have 360 vision, you're trying to keep track of as many of them as you can. you're distracted. something hits you right through the h- h- h- h- h-

| bucky x reader | fluff |

requested by @fitzfiles​ enemies to lovers 

this is technically a highschool au, but only slightly. we love bucky being a loveable ass out here

Your eyes narrowed and you glared at Bucky. You couldn’t stand him. Bucky was popular, flirtatious, and an asshole. He was always flirting with you at school, and you always felt like he was trying to make a joke of you in front of everyone. On top of that, it made other girls envy you, tainting friendships with jealousy.

It seemed like you were the only one who didn’t want Bucky Barnes. 

“You’re such an ass!” You snapped at Bucky, who only laughed in response. You hated when he tilted his head to the side, the stupid smirk you loathed pulling at his lips. 

“Don’t be like that, doll.”

“I’ll do whatever I want! Leave me alone, I’m not going to fall at your feet like everyone else!” You stood up from the library where he had been absolutely intent on distracting you from finishing your homework, the reason for the fight in the first place.

You were the only one who didn’t give him every ounce of attention he desired, and he was determined to get it. 

You sat on your bed, a folder of history homework open in front of you. You studied with music softly in the background, needing a break from trying to study with Bucky bothering you every five seconds. 

“Y/N,” your mom called your name as she walked in the door. 

You looked up, setting down the document on World War II. Your father was behind her, and you grew uneasy, wondering what they possibly felt they needed to both talk to you about.

“We’re worried about you, dear.”

“Worried? Why?” you laughed, surprised by their explanation.

“We’re just concerned that you don’t have the same social life people your age have. You seem to always be up here, studying in your room. We want you to meet some people, and have some fun,” your father explained.

You were confused by the explanation. You spent most of your time at school, and around other students. You did have friends, but you also prioritized your grades. You certainly were not the hermit they were making you out to be.

“You don’t need to worry-”

“But darling, you’ve never dated. One of our friends has the most charming son, and we think he’d be perfect for you. We want to set you up.” Your mother was smiling, and you raised your eyebrows.

“Perfect for me?”

“Yes! He’s so charming, and he’s sweet. He’s also incredibly intelligent, his grades are wonderful. He travels a lot, you know, has that worldly kind of sense. And, he’s beautiful. We were thinking of setting the two of you up, having them over for dinner.”

You couldn’t deny that this sounded too good to be true. The boy they were describing sounded perfect for you, and although you cringed at the idea of your parents setting you up, you were intrigued.

“What is his name?”

“James!” She beamed, and you raised your eyebrows.

“I will go on one blind date with him, if you stop giving me a hard time about my social life.”

“One date. You can meet him at dinner tomorrow, and then the two of you must go on one date. If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. But try for us, honey.”

“I will, I promise,” you smiled at your parents, excited and nervous to meet your supposed dream-man. 

You dressed up for dinner once you were home from school. You’d never even seen this boy, and yet your tummy was filling with excited butterflies. Your name was called from downstairs, and you quickly ran down to meet them. 

You nearly tripped over yourself as you stopped dead in your tracks. You were met with an all-too-familiar silver gaze, and the smirk that made you so, so angry.

“Bucky.” 

Your voice was cold, and all of the butterflies shriveled up and died, the excitement fading from you. You were furious that you’d agreed to go on a date with him in addition to sitting through this dinner.

“You two know each other?” His mother asked, surprised.

“Quite well, actually. We have history together at school, right doll?” Bucky was trying not to laugh, only fueling your irritation. 

“It’s Y/N. And we’ve met, yes.” 

This motherfucker. 

Dinner was long and painful, and you were forced to listen to what a perfect prince everybody thought Bucky was. You were surprised to hear about his academic standing, one that competed with your own. It was clear by his expression that he didn’t want the news to get out that he wasn’t a complete anarchist. 

You cringed as your parents praised you too, unsure of who they were trying to impress. You were quiet, not giving a single damn about being polite to the boy you hated. 

“Why don’t the two of you go upstairs?” your mom suggested, and you sighed, holding back a massive eye roll. Being alone with Bucky was about last on the list of things you wanted to do.

You stood up under the pressure of four gazes, and Bucy followed you up the flight of stairs. He couldn’t contain his amusement for the situation, and you walked into your room and sat down on the edge of your bed, crossing your arms over your chest.

“Did you know it was me?”

“No, I really didn’t. But I’m glad it is.” He almost sounded sincere.

Bucky looked around your room, taking in the soft lavender walls, and the white bedspread that you sat on top of. Everything was soft and sweet, like you. Fairy lights hung above the bed, casting a gentle glow over the room. Bucky thought you looked beautiful.

“Quit staring at me,” you snipped, pulling your knees up to your chest.

He smiled, stepping in from the doorway and sitting beside you on the bed. You were angry at yourself for noticing the way the lights seemed to make him look golden, glinting in the reflection of huge silver eyes.

“How could I not?” He breathed, and your heart stuttered in your chest.

No. No, this is not happening. You will not let yourself be seduced by this cocky asshole. 

“Save it for the date,” you rolled your eyes and he smirked. 

“You’re not looking forward to it?” Bucky asked, and you shook your head with a face.

“No, of course not.”

“Come on, I’ll show you a good time. You’ll probably even realize that you’re in love with me.” His grin was infectious, but you fought off the urge to smile back.

“In love with you? Hardly.”

“I’ll give you one night. You’ll change your mind.” 

“You seem confident,” you snarked, rolling your eyes at his arrogance.

“I always am.”

You watched him as his eyes traveled over the room, seeming to take everything in. Bucky noticed every small detail, including the sketch of daisies that leaned against the wall on top of your desk. 

When he was finally called away, he stood in front of you, leaning over you with one hand on the wrought iron bed frame. A soft smile broke onto his face, and you felt warmth spread through your chest, reaching up to your cheeks.

“Goodnight, doll.”

You scowled at the dress that was laid out in the end of your bed when you got home from school. You’d been dreading the date, especially when Bucky winked at you during history class. He didn’t make a show of embarrassing you in front of his friends. You hadn’t even heard gossip about it, so he must not have told anybody. 

You were a bit surprised, you thought that Bucky would seize the opportunity to be the subject of gossip and attention, dragging you into it with him. 

Your parents were out of town for the weekend, and you’d been set up for a friday date after school with Bucky. The doorbell rang, and you went to answer it, your eyes widening a bit when you saw him in jeans and a button down. 

Fuck, he was handsome. 

“Hi James.” 

“Y/N, you look beautiful,” he said honestly, and you couldn’t stop the warmth from blossoming on your cheeks. He held up a bouquet of daisies, and you bit back a smile, taking your favorite flowers from him. You realized he noticed the drawing, and something about that made you feel fuzzy inside. 

It was too bad you didn’t even like him.

“Let me set these down, thank you.” 

You put them in a vase on the table, and he followed you. 

“You didn’t tell everyone at school.” It was a statement, but you meant it as a question.

“Why would I? I knew you wouldn’t appreciate everyone in your business,” Bucky confessed. Despite the amusement he gained from getting on your nerves, Bucky did like you, and he did respect you. The idea of others participate in the teasing, more than just his bit of playfulness, upset Bucky.

He wanted you to like him. 

You followed Bucky outside to his yellow car, one that was sort of vintage. He didn’t drive to school, and you realized you had never seen his car, but it somehow fit him. You got in the passenger seat, and he handed you the chord to play your own music.

You nervously scrolled through your phone, deciding that the safest bet for music was bon iver, and he broke into a smile, leaning forward to turn up the stereo.

“I love this song,” Bucky grinned, surprising you.

“Where are we going?” you asked, leaning forward and watching the buildings pass by as he drove you to an unknown location. 

“Just trust me.”

He parked and was opening your door for you before you could get out. You stepped out and took his outstretched hand, deciding you had to at least give this as much of an effort as he was. 

His hand was soft and he squeezed you gently as he led you inside the huge aquarium in the city. It was your favorite place to go, and you wondered how Bucky knew that. 

“You mentioned it once, in class,” he spoke as if he read your mind, or at least read the bright smile on your face.

“I can’t believe you remembered... Or that you even listened,” you laughed.

“I always listen.”

You walked through tunnels filled with colorful fish, and they swam around you on all sides, even under your feet. You gasped and pressed your hands to the glass, letting go of Bucky as you watched a sea turtle swim by. Bucky watched your delight, smiling at your excited squeal.

“Look!” you pointed, and he grinned.

“I see, it’s so cool,” he indulged you. 

You moved through the tunnel, into a room of separate tanks, all smaller and holding their own creatures. You struggled to see the clown fish in the top, even standing on your toes.

“What’re you doing, doll?”

“Trying to see the nemo fish, but-” you squeaked as Bucky’s hands went around your waist, and he lifted you up so you could see. You blushed and smiled, looking at the fish swimming around. He gently set you down, and you wrapped your hands around his arm, a little bit shyly.

The two of you spent hours looking at the creatures, and you let him wrap his arms around your waist as you stood and watched the jellyfish. 

“They’re so pretty!” you gasped, and Bucky could see the reflection in your wide eyes, and he couldn’t ignore how his heart raced when he looked at you.

You found yourself feeling the same way.

“This was great, James. I didn’t think you’d manage to win me over, but this is the best date I’ve ever been on,” you confessed shyly as you left, the sky already dark. He beamed at you, his silver eyes lighting up when you smiled at him.

“I’m so glad, but we’re not finished yet, doll.”

“You spoil me,” you giggled, and he pulled you to the car.

“Come on, or we’ll miss it,” he hurried you, laughing as he got behind the wheel. 

He drove to a park and got a blanket from the backseat, producing a basket that you hadn’t noticed before.

“Picnicking in the dark?”

“Hush and come with me,” he insisted, laying out the blanket on the grass and pulling the food out. 

You bit into a piece of fruit, leaning against his side. You gasped as fireworks started to go off overhead, and you looked at Bucky, who just smiled back at you. 

“I thought you’d like them.”

You watched the light and colors explode in the sky, enjoying the dinner he brought. You ended up leaning back against Bucky’s chest, wrapped in his jacket when you complained of being chilly. You couldn’t believe that over the course of a few hours, he had managed to work his way into your heart, and you were now in his arms.

“Do you want to come in and stay?” you asked Bucky as he pulled up in front of your house.

“I’m invited?”

“Yes.” 

He smiled, grabbing sweats from his trunk, explaining that he always had a change of clothes, on account of being an athlete. You teased him with a giggle, going inside with him and up to your bedroom. 

You changed into a pajama set and laid on your bed with him, the two of you staring up at the tiny, glittering fairy lights above you.

“You look perfect like this,” you whispered.

“Not as perfect as you.”

“What happens Monday? Do you go back to being an ass and I go back to hating you?” your voice was soft, and although you were joking, the fear behind it was real.

“I was hoping I could call you my girlfriend on Monday.”

You leaned over and kissed him, answering the question. When he kissed you back, it was like a million tiny fireworks exploding inside of you, instead of in the sky overhead. 

“You changed my mind in one night.”
