#I know I'm saying a lot of very famous ones but sue me they're good pieces

[this-is-my-funny-reblogs-account]

I didn't double read it or check this after writing. It's just pure - fast before I'd be too lazy to write this! So I'm sorry for any typos.

So y'all I'm typing this on my phone in English with Canadian French keyboard, before my hype dies out! This one is set in the @uselsshuman 141 families AU. I know that the idea behind the 141 wives is to keep them as blank slates for anyone to picture themselves but I can't help but give them distinguished personalities because why not 👀.

You can treat it a sort of

'what kind of girl I see each 141 guy with?'

Let's begin! I wrote those with civilian partners in mind 👀.

Warning: sex mentioned (it's a normal part of being in a relationship but minors better sit this one out)

John 'Soap' MacTavish

I picture him dating a daydreamer, someone who has imagination and a dash of wildness in her. Soap is an adventurous guy and he'd like to share this with his love. They definitely travel a lot together because world is beautiful and they want to experience it with one another.

Soap's girlfriend can allow herself to be a bit idealistic, with her mind in the clouds, because it keeps Soap's mind away from the harsh reality. In case he dies, she still will have a strong support system in his family, friends and community. She's not alone.

Their relationship is very affectionate and like a never ending honeymoon phase. Basically both of them are aware that what Soap does is dangerous and their relationship can end on a dime with his death. That's why they try to keep it constantly fresh and exciting. Who knows how long they can enjoy one another's company so they better spend it in the best possible way.

I think that they're the kind of couple that doesn't have big arguments. They're a team not rivals. Sure, Soap sometimes leaves the toilet lid open and his girlfriend tends to burn dinner a bit because she's been focusing on some random idea instead of paying attention but at the end of the day those things don't really matter - they're together for the good time and not necessarily long time (as in he can die at any moment, because those two are together for life.)

If any big arguments happen, they're regarding their son. As in "I know what's best for him" kind. Whenever arguing they do try to not yell at one another, and go to bed angry. Banishing to sofa doesn't really happen because both of them have hard time sleeping alone when they know their partner is nearby.

Sue me but I really like John dating a Polish girl 🫣 and I guess I'm not the only one. Soap surely gets protective of her and is ready to throw fists if anyone disrespects his missus. Sometimes he'd just annoy her how she's constantly grumpy because of the 'no smiling in public spaces' culture in her country. Other times he'd say she's like a model on a runway "because I'm so hot 😍? No, because you never smile 🤣. John!"

Their relationship is very physical, both romantically and sexually. They boink a lot and it is usually pretty funny. They do laugh a lot because sex is awkward sometimes and they are a playful couple altogether. Sometimes Soap will romance his way like Gomez Adams, other times he'd just put his penis on his girlfriend's shoulder while she's reading a book and say in a high pitched voice "hello" and that's his idea of charming his lady. I feel like they'd be the couple on a search for the most wacky condom. Neon green, glowing in the dark, and tasting like bacon - they've tried all of those.

MacTavish duo definitely cuddles a lot. Both at home and in public. It's not unusual to see Soap's girlfriend just nuzzling him or Johnny holding her tight and giving her forehead kisses.

Some might think that Soap's girlfriend is just a damsel in distress, waiting patiently for her prince charming - nothing further from truth. Since her boyfriend disappears for months, she has a life outside of the relationship. She goes to work, meets with her numerous friends (her skill of finding accidentally everyone's identity because she's friends with X wife is quite famous) and has her hobbies. She probably likes nature and keeps multiple plants (only after making sure those won't hurt their three cats) so her and Soap's place looks like a jungle on occasion. She might have some artistic hobbies like writing, painting or drawing. She's self sufficient on her own, but her life is better with Johnny.

She calms him down and grounds Soap in reality. After all she's mostly in Hereford so whenever Johnny gets back she informs him what has changed in the town or their house and how they're now doing certain things.

While Soap is a clown, she's his audience and even though she tends to react like she's annoyed with his antics, she loves how playful he is. Like Jessica Rabbit - he makes me laugh.

She's the disciplinary of the family, mostly because she knows that Soap won't be. He wants to be the fun dad for Fergus, because again he doesn't know how long he'll be there to cherish this life. Nevertheless, sometimes you have to lay down the rules and here's where Soap's girlfriend enters the scene. They're both pretty chill and loving parents though.

Simon 'Ghost' Riley

Simon's wife is pragmatic and doesn't accept any bullshit, she has a job to be done and that's her focus. Unlike Soap's darling, she's on her own if something happens to her husband, and she knew it upfront before getting into the relationship with him.

Ghost got serious with her because he knew that she can carry on if he's KIA, he knows she can handle his emotional baggage and his character. She's not the one to cry or complain about her life, she just gets shit done, no questions asked.

Sometimes she gets frustrated with Simon's bullshit (who wouldn't honestly) but she's the only person whose opinion really matters to Ghost. She can lift him up and knock him down like nobody else. She's equally calm and understanding person who soothes Ghost, and the force that pushes Simon to be a better person if he needs to be told off.

I think that's the main reason why he married her, she makes him a better person. She's strong but calm, patient but reasonably so, and she cares about him. He had difficult life and his upbringing was anything but perfect but this woman makes him care. She makes him feel something else than anger and pain and for that he's forever grateful.

Their love language is quality time but since they're unusual couple it's not what you think. Their home is their castle and they relax the best while at home. Even if their house is full of children they do bond together via chores. Soft conversations while folding the laundry together, sprinkled with jokes, Simon fixing the leaking pipe without being asked to do so, her making his favorite dish just because he'd enjoy this, cooking together - Simon as an ex-bucher appreciate would handle meat while his wife prepares veggies, on occasion they'd compte who can make their part of the dinner faster. Just mindlessly watching TV together with their dogs and commenting how ridiculous Come Dine with me is or how "this blonde chick should have picked Zack rather than Jacob! Zack at least tried, and prepared his dessert from scratch to impress her" while watching Dinner Date. Trash talking game shows participants is their definition of entertainment.

When his wife was expecting their first daughter Simon panicked. He was sure he'd be a horrible dad and kids aren't for him. His wife was quick to knock him down to Earth - you're a dad now so step up. She'd remind him that he's his own person and regardless of how shitty his dad was, he turned out to be a good guy and he's so caring he'll be an amazing dad.

Their sex life is a mess. I think they're the kind of couple that gets so into it that sometimes wrapping it takes a back seat. Hence the five children they have together. With brood this size, it's difficult to take time for the proper intimate time but they're doing with what they have. Unlike Soap and his girlfriend, Riley's have the bunny phase behind them. They still boink and it's still very satisfying when it happens, just with five kids it's not always possible. Sometimes they're just too tired and it's ok. There are days when Ghost doesn't feel like having sex and his wife gets it. Sometimes she's not in the mood and he's ok with that. Their need for intimacy can be fulfilled by just having a moment for themselves to cuddle and hold one another.

Mrs Riley has her own business. Idk why but I can see her having a very niche, online business. Like she's making stained glass windows and decorations. She has her own workshop and she's making money on her hobby. It lets her stay at home with her daughters (and later with her son) but she's not fully dependent on Simon's income.

I remember someone mentioning that she's an American so I'm going with that. She has the 'fish out of water' moments, even after years of living in the UK. Like the little moments of 'right, you guys do/don't do that'. She's probably fascinated how old/small everything is in England or how brick house are basically a standard instead of drywall.

Even though both she and Simon are similar when it comes to discipline, I think their children are more likely to ask her as she's a bit less strict than their dad. When her daughters start dating she's more calm about it. Simon isn't the shotgun dad, but he does feel uncomfortable that his girls are growing and he was often absent. He would do the whole "scary dad show" but it's nothing more than a show. He's not intimidating his daughters' boyfriends on purpose. It's like a by-product of him looking like a tree trunk. His wife definitely plays along and they later laugh about it together when the young couple leaves on their date. She also supports their kids no matter what and she's as proud of Lottie making a cake as she's from Aya getting an A from the test. She knows that her kids are different people and she supports their decisions and goals for the future.

Mrs Riley isn't much of a romantic soul. She'd take a practical gift over flowers any day. If Simon isn't there to fix something she'll do it herself because there's job to be done. She's a hard-working person and someone very practical. She's calm but not beyond calling her husband a dumbass if he deserves this. However, she'd never call him names when she can see he has one of his episodes. She's ultimately there to support him through thick and thin.

John Price

Mrs Price is the OG wife as a captain's spouse. She and Ghost's wife are the OG 141 wives so she's a bit like a mom-friend to the group. She's the closest to what a typical army wife would be (in non Karen way) as she's the only homemaker in the group.

She is a bit old fashioned, just like her husband she's in her late 30s. She's still a sassy lady so you better not underestimate her as she's the ultimate leader of all military wives in Hereford. Not because of her husband's position but because she's a nice person and a true leader. She's not the queen B who makes everyone bow down to her, but rather someone so helpful and wise that people are willing to follow her lead.

She's engages in her community and is always there to help, especially the new girls and guys who just learn what's like to be a spouse of a soldier. She organizes a lot of events and get-togethers for them so they'd develop a nice support system to comfort one another, whether it is because of the distance or death of the spouse. While Soap's girlfriend knows everyone on accident, Mrs Price knows people on purpose and can match friends perfectly.

She's from New Zealand so she does bond with Mrs Riley over being a non-European in Europe. She misses the Pacific Ocean, hence trips by the seaside are pretty common in the Price household. She makes sure her children are at least familiar with their Kiwi side.

She and her husband are something between MacTavish duo and Riley's when it comes to affection. They do like to stroll together, hold hands and share soft kisses, but you won't see them glued to one another like the MacTavish Turtledoves. However, she finds them adorable and likes to reflect on "young love" with her husband. Little does people know that back in the early 2000s when not-yet-captain Price was on his training in New Zealand he was quite a romantic when he tried to woo a nice, Kiwi lady. One could say that they were whipped for one another.

She's super confident in herself and her relationship, without being narcissistic. She knows where she stands with her marriage and she knows her value as a person. If anyone tries to knock her down from her throne, they're in for a surprise. Mrs Price is nice and very motherly but you don't want to get on her bad side. Remember she's a well respected member of the community and an influential figure without pulling the "My husband is a captain of an elite squad" card.

Her and her husband sex life is very fulfilling and they still keep things fresh. Just because they're reaching their 40s doesn't mean that the passion just died out. They might not have sex every day anymore but when it happens, oh boy they're definitely very VERY satisfied afterwards. Both sides try to look desirable for one another so no boredom in bedroom for sure. Price probably still keeps a sexy pic of his wife on him when he's deployed.

Even though Mrs Price is very wise and responsible for everyone she's not boring. She's pretty chill person who avoids conflicts. Like the perfect client who once told there's no chicken salad, instead of wanting to talk to the manager would just order Greek salad because people working in services have difficult job already. She likes to joke too and it's not uncommon to hear her make fun of herself or her husband.

She could run for a local politician office and would win because she's clearly the most competent person for this job. She's aware of this but we're back to her pretty chill personality - she doesn't want to. Official function would keep her busy and away from her family and friends. It would make her unhappy in the longer run. Just because she's not employed doesn't mean that she has no work experience or experience in case she'd have to/want to work. She's constantly learning new things and developing as a person. Organizing the school's Christmas Market that turns out to be bigger than the Christmas market organized by the town surely counts as management skills.

Just like Ghost's wife she can handle being left alone if her husband dies, but just like Soap's girlfriend, she has a strong community to rely on if something happens. She has been there for others so the others would be there for her.

I picture her as a very elegant lady. She'd wear pearl earrings and pencil dresses. She always looks very elegant and professional whenever she's outside. At home it's a different story altogether and Price (and their children) is the only one who gets to see her in yoga pants and a hoodie.

She's the disciplinary parent for sure but just like in case of Riley's it's 50/50 when it comes to being the responsible parent. Mrs Price does points out to her husband whenever he's not as strict with their daughter as he was with their twins.

Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick

Now Kyle is a pretty chill guy so I can picture him as the soothing partner to his wife. Mrs Garrick is definitely the louder and emotional one of the two. Ironically she's the one that brings chaos into their lives but Gaz is into it actually.

Mrs Garrick tends to overthinking and overreact a little, and Kyle is the only person who can calm her down almost instantly. Just knowing that she's enough to him and he's proud of her, calms her down a bit.

She's a primary school teacher and she loves her job. Kyle just likes to hang around her when she's grading tests and sometimes she'd read him funny and stupid answers her students put on the tests. Yes. They're making fun of how stupid children are sometimes. Nothing against children themselves, they're just funny.

Just like Mrs Riley and Mrs Price, she's a busy woman who loves her job. Gaz support her and encourage her to develop her career. Sometimes Mrs Garrick feels insecure but her man is always there to proof to her that she's amazing. He admires her a lot and how she's putting an extra mile to help children from the poorer communities because everyone deserves good education in her eyes.

Both she and Gaz would like to see the world as a better place, that's why they're doing what they're doing. Their relationship is also very funny, as they have many inside jokes that started as something awkward. Like Kyle saying that his "friend thinks you look cute" then pointing out somewhere and running to that exact place, and the time he tried to come up with the conversation started so he asked "Sooo...do you like ducks?"

Their idea of romance is watching Bee movie together and laughing. Garrick's also like to walk together in a park, feed ducks and enjoy the outdoors. Not in a wilderness sense like MacTavish but in a nature in the town sense. They like to go on a little trips in their county and visit unusual places that they know one another would like Cider museum or The Chained Library. They can be unapologetically themselves when they're together and they embrace their weirdness. They definitely attend the annual Cheese Rolling Competition at Cooper's Hill, near Gloucester. Now whether or not Gaz actively participates and tries to catch the cheese is only for his wife to know.

Gaz didn't want any children and his wife always said that she already has 18 children in her care so she doesn't need more. So Rose was a very much an unplanned child but she was still a wanted one. Both parents were panicking once they've learned that there's a bun in the oven but in the end they decided that parenthood is yet another crazy thing in their life that they'll embrace together. Both parents love Rose and after she was born they felt even more happy and in love than before. Neither of them thought it was possible.

Mrs Garrick is a Welsh woman so her mom is a very important figure in the family. It often causes arguments between her and her husband because he feels like his mother-in-law's influence on their family is bigger than he'd like it to be. However, he understands that when he's gone for months it's good for his wife to have someone to rely on.

Garrick's are still a young couple so sex is a pretty common activity they engage in. I'd place them 2nd after the MacTavish duo (3rd place is Price's and 4th belongs to "I pity your wife if you think 6 minutes is forever" Riley's) they tend to treat the activity more seriously than Soap and his girlfriend. I'd say that they are the old school romantics in this department but whatever floats their boat is still there. They want to please one another so they definitely discuss kinks and what they want to try next time.

[poppetsisters]

Now that my rage over the Doomcasting has simmered down, I just wanna gush over the Fantastic Four comi con stuff.

I'm not joking, when I heard that Michael Giacchino was doing the score, I SCREAMED. Not only is he famous for scoring The Incredibles, but he also did Speed Racer from 2008 which, if you haven't heard that score, it is one of the best scores for any film I've seen.

The period accurate footage is such a treat. I figured Matt Shakman's work on Wandavision was going to be indicative of what the Fantastic Four was gonna look like and yet it looks even better. I was nervous that Shakman's lack of feature film experience was gonna be a detriment, but his decades of work on TV gives him amazing instincts for character dynamics, which is one of the most important assets when making a Fantastic Four movie.

A lot of what we saw is pre-vis and may not actually be in the movie, but the retro-future vibe of the movie is perfect. The fact that MCU Fantastic Four is taking place in its own separate pocket away from all the bullshit really helps me feel excited for this movie. For once, the disconnectedness is something I'm EXCITED about, go figure.

Again, because it's pre-vis, not a whole lot of glimpses at The Thing's rocky form, in fact none of the powers were shown off for understandable reasons. I have no worries that The Thing is going to look good. As bad as Fant4stic was, The Thing looked pretty good in that film. Korg also never looked outright bad to me either, and they're probably gonna put more effort into how he looks anyway. Sue's powers are probably gonna be represented well seeing as invisibility is a really easy power to do VFX for. Fire graphics have come a long way as well, and that concept art makes me thing they may take a very stylised approach to his flame effects. Reed however is the one I'm really worried about. The only time stretch powers looked good was The Incredibles 1 and 2, but those were both stylised 3D animated filma. Live action has a much higher bar to clear with a heavy risk of uncanny valley Pedro Pascal. If you can make that man look bad, then you know you fucked up.

The Fantasticar is nice. We had the Dodge in Rise of Silver Surfer and the Bathtub in Deadpool and Wolverine, and though I like the Silver Surfer one (despite the shameless product placement) I get that they wanted a car that looked like a mid-century man's idea of what a flying car looks like. The only think is that I wish it could split apart into four sections, it doesn't look like it can do that. Oh well.

The spacesuits look good, the colours are exactly what I imagined they'd be on the concept art, but I'm waiting for the proper super suits to be shown off. Hopefully they have less interlocking parts and resemble the slightly thick and comfy spandex we saw in the concept art.

It looks like Pedro is keeping the moustache, which normally I'm not a fan of Reed with facial hair, but I also think it gives Reed a sorta Howard Hughes look that helps him blend in with the aesthetics of the world. The grey around the temples is good though, and it seems like he's also doing a transatlantic accent which frankly is very surprising.

I thought that Ebon wasn't doing an accent until I rewatched him during an interview. He appears to be toning down his natural tendency to draw out his A's and E's. It was only two lines of dialogue so I don't know, but what is very apparent is that he's not going for the outrageous brooklyn accent The Thing is legendary for in the comics, but something a little more subtle and believable.

Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn are both different flavors of British, and though Joseph only says one word, it's pretty clear both are foregoing their natural accents. That said, Vanessa's choice of, what I can only guess is a slight mid-western accent, is very interesting. I was not expecting that choice.

They added a subtitle to the movie. Fantastic 4: First Steps. I think they didn't need to add a subtitle, but since they did. I'll just give it a cursory analysis. I think you can derive FOUR meanings from the title: First Steps calls to mind humanity's first steps on the Moon, fitting for a space age tale. First Steps also feels like a good title for their first adventure. First Steps works metatextually as their first steps into the MCU (which isn't technically true with those two cameos in MoM and D&W), but the most important theory I have for First Steps is in relation to a baby's first steps. I think that Franklin is going to be in this movie as a major plot point. Serving what purpose, I'm not sure.

To finish things off, we only get a look at Galactus through a window, so not much I can comment on in terms of appearance, but I'm very happy that it's an actual dude and not shadows within a cosmic cloud. He looks very imposing and I hope we get more perspective shots like that to sell how big this guy is.

[gorillawithautism]

I appreciate your positivity. On a note about primates, are there any particular organizations that support primates that you recommend?

thanks i try :3 i'm not really a super positive or optimistic person naturally but i feel very driven to help people i care about and express my love :)

anyway

primate organizations i recommend:

pan african sanctuary alliance - pasa is a great directory for conservation efforts in africa, so if you want more places to look at, definitely look at their website. i would say any organization in their alliance can be trusted to adequately provide for the animals in their care.

lola ya bonobo - lola ya bonobo/friends of bonobos is the only!! bonobo rewilding program in the whole world and the only sanctuary that's specifically dedicated to bonobos

dian fossey gorilla fund - this one is specifically dedicated to the protection of mountain gorillas as well as research of the surrounding habitat. they've also done some substantial research into one of my favorite monkeys, the golden monkey (cercopithecus kandti).

gorilla doctors - the gorilla doctors do veterinary field work to maintain the health of wild mountain gorillas and eastern lowland gorillas. they also work to address human and domestic animal health in the area in order to help maintain gorilla health.

the orangutan project - the orangutan project works with various organizations in indonesia for the conservation of orangutans. one of the organizations they fund is the bos foundation which is a personal favorite :) the smithsonian show "orangutan jungle school" is about bos!

duke lemur center - duke lemur center is a research center and conservation effort for lemurs (of which they house 200 btw). all of their research is minimally invasive and not harmful to the animals. they kind of do a lot of stuff so it's a little hard to summarise... also binx lives here............. i love binx.......

vervet forest - the vervet monkey foundation is basically exactly what it sounds like. they rescue pet monkeys and laboratory monkeys and give them a better life. one thing that's particularly interesting about them is their foster mom program where they give orphaned babies a monkey family :)

lwiro primate rehab center - lwiro works to rehabilitate all kinds of primates impacted by the illegal (and unethical) pet trade. this means they primarily work with orphaned primates and primates with significant physical and psychological trauma

tacugama - tacugama works on preservation of wildlife in sierra leone. they're pretty famous i don't really know what to say about them except that they care for a buttload of chimps

fauna foundation - the fauna foundation the only chimpanzee sanctuary in canada and it rehabilitates and provides a safe place for chimps traumatized by the pet trade and laboratories. plus they have a nature reserve that's part of their conservation effort. shout out to sue ellen

monkey haven - primate rescue center i'm really just mentioning because xhabu lives there and he's like a celebrity to me. like they do good work but i just really love xhabu

[onepiece-oc-archives]

what's something you would not recommend when creating one piece ocs?

Thanks for your question!

Honestly, there aren't many things I don't recommend, simply because One Piece is THE fandom for going absolutely wild. If there are things that I don't recommend, there's a whole lot of personal preference involved, so don't take everything in this post as law or something.

First of all: DO NOT get your first and last names mixed up. This is the one thing that I would make law if I could because I have a feeling that some people just... don't notice that they're doing it, maybe? Maybe there's also a dub out there that does it? But canonically, and in 99% of OP-related media, the family name comes first and any given names follow after that. Please keep that in mind. The Straw Hats aren't calling Roronoa Zoro by his last name all the time, they're calling him his given name. Zoro is his given name, Roronoa the family name.

Next, sticking with the names, I wouldn't recommend naming your OC after a famous pirate, simply because there's a high chance that that name might already be taken.

Also, don't overuse the "D." - I know I always say that and I can't tell you why because it's spoilery, but trust me, the D. should be reserved for certain characters only.

Alright, moving on from the names: Try to keep an eye on the setting you're in. For the most part, One Piece is light-hearted and colorful. You can absolutely give your OC a dark backstory! That's not what I'm saying. You can absolutely go dark on the backstory. But try not to make the character design too dark. Not as in "don't make them goth" but rather: Don't make them an eldritch monster with gore and body horror and whatnot (maybe with the exception of if it's their devil fruit power to turn into said monster). It would just be a huge contrast to the overall world of One Piece in terms of themes. Similar things apply to sci-fi (but you can easily get around that by making it a cartoony sci-fi) and other things that are based on a different time period. You most likely wouldn't have a full-on medieval wizard walking around the East Blue, but you could definitely make your OC medieval-wizard-inspired. Full-on Baroque-era dress with the huge skirts and wigs? Probably not a good idea unless it's your OC's formal wear as a noble. Baroque-inspired clothing? Sign me the hell up!

Power scaling time! I'm not saying you shouldn't create Mary Sues. This is One Piece, go wild if you want. But maybe think about whether it would work for the story you're trying to create in your head. If you're making a Straw Hat OC who can sink an entire Marine warship with a snap of their finger, it would trivialize the journey of the entire crew and take away opportunities for them to get stronger or go through character development. The Straw Hats are all about getting through danger together, getting stronger together, beating enemies through teamwork and loyalty and trust instead of just raw power... So, if you want to keep your OC as that powerful person, think about making your OC a Warlord or otherwise powerful pirate instead OR give them a handicap that means they can only use said ship-shattering power under very specific circumstances. For example, think about how certain spells or skills in RPGs take certain amounts of mana/energy/etc. to execute. Maybe the attack needs to be charged? Maybe it takes specific materials to prepare? You'll figure something out.

So yeah, I think that's it for now! I hope this helped and please remember that these tips aren't laws but suggestions. You don't have to listen to anything I've written here, but if you think that my recommendations make sense, feel free to apply them.

Hope you have a great day! ^^

[oh-my-damn]

Typical racist chris evans fan/// what?! According to mod I can't be racist because I'm black. 🙄🙄 Mod, how's your Nazi grandfather? I know you like thinking you're so different from him because you have ✨pronouns in your bio✨ but you're just as prejudicial, racist and ignorant. 🖕

This entire ask is wild but also so wildly wrong that if you actually understood the severity of what you were saying right now, I would hope to everything holy you wouldn't be saying it.

But then again, assholes rarely change, do they? So you probably wouldn't.

I wasn't going to honor this with one of my responses because, truly, you do not deserve one of my well educated elaborated responses that I am so famous for making because of your shit personality, but then I decided, you know what? This is enough.

This is enough to trigger me. This topic and the word you used is entirely enough to trigger me into ranting.

So I will.

It is almost 6am as I am writing this and I have been drinking wine for the past 10 hours so excuse me if this is not as elegant as I could have delivered it under sober circumstances.

But then again, would I really have delivered this under elegant circumstances even if I was sober? I don't think so.

I am my fathers daughter. And while me and my father disagree on many things, there is one thing we heavily agree on.

There is one very very important thing he taught me from an early age.

And that is, if people fuck with you, you punch them in the face.

So I do hope you didn't have a nose-job recently, anon. Well, to be honest, I don't give a shit if you did. Were you standing in front of me right now I would have no apologies for you. I still would have punched you in the face.

And as a descendant from Vikings, and knowing that that is the only information anyone on here knows about my true form outside of the internet, let me tell you.... It would have hurt.

And (hopefully) broken your nose.

Now.

Most people who have followed me for a while will know that I am from the Nordics. They will even know I am Scandinavian. I am. Very much so. Painfully so.

So what you just thought out in your mind and then decided to type onto your keyboard and eventually send me is highly offensive.

I don't often say this, but I will say it to you. Because I truly mean it.

May you die a terrible, just purely awful, death.

What you have written to me is, and I mean this sincerely, despicable. I hope you are punished for it.

I study law, and while I know that nothing I'm saying right now are eligible as threats, I would not mind being blamed for it if it came to that.

You're a bad person.

You're a terrible person.

I hope none of your family members hug you ever again. I hope you live your life knowing that they're ashamed you. If they're not, then please know that the rest of the world is.

You're shameful.

You're despicable.

You deserve nothing good in your life.

You sent that message to someone because of an actor you don't know, someone who doesn't even know you exist, in defense of him.

You did that for absolutely nothing, it means nothing and will achieve nothing.

But I won't stand for it.

I was not raised to stand for it.

I will tell you this, though –

You crossed a boundary. And if you ever, and I mean ever, return to my space with that sort of language directed towards INNOCENT people expressing their opinion, I won't be the only person pursuing you.

Because what you're doing is illegal in a lot of countries. Maybe not in yours. But in a lot of others. And we have the right to sue you for slander.

And as someone who studies law, who has previously admitted to being extremely privileged, let me tell you; getting out of it won't be easy.

It will be very painful. And it will cost you a lot.

So I hope you're ready.

Alright so this story, right? Right, so. Alright.

NGL, I did consider writing it as a DaiSuga AU because my love for DaiSuga knows zero bounds, but I just don't think it would work as well as it would as an original story, so, sorry DaiSuga but you can't be EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME.

Okay okay so I just barely started refurbishing so I'm not 100% on the names of the two leads yet but I'm sitting on "Andronikos" for the MAIN main. Everyone calls him Nikos though, except for the other main, who will call him RONNIE BECAUSE THAT'S CUTE AS SHIT.

And for the other main, I'm less sure on his name but I'm thinking maybe Taiga? That's what we will use for this explanation anyway. Might change later but 🤷‍♂️

Okay so here we gooooooo:

Set in a fantasy world, right around the time of their industrial revolution, or at least the years leading up to it. So like... some electricity but not a lot. Only rich people have that kinda luxury and almost everyone else is still stuck in the dark ages ya know?

Since it's fantasy, there's lots of like MONSTERS and MYTHICAL CREATURES and also some people have SPECIAL SUPER POWERS. (yes, yet another one of my stories involves magic SUE ME.)

In this world, you are born with powers passed on from a family member. Usually, kids get what their parents have but there are times when they inherit a grandparent's or aunt/uncle's power because like, the gene is there, ya dig.

So like, it's pretty normal for a person to have a power but the ones with the ultra powerful ones usually slither their way into fame and fortune. They are celebrities who fight in tournaments and show up to kiss babies and sign autographs and such and such. Sometimes, they're even elected into powerful positions because hey, that guy is super strong and once saved my village from a horde of evil monsters! I trust him with my politics! 👍 (pls don't elect celebrities into office pls)

In order to get famous though, you gotta make a name for yourself. And the place to start making a name for yourself is at this super prestigious academy where they train you to fight and use your power, correct? Yes, this is very standard fantasy super power plot, yes, yes, of course.

Make it through the academy and ta-da, you can start GRINDING to earn your place in people's hearts. (or just work, tbh you don't have to have fame and fortune on your to-do list once you graduate ok)

After graduation, young graduates start picking up jobs. See, these power wielders are not like... cops (spits on ground). They don't get paid a wage just to be heroes and save people and arrest criminals or what the fuck ever. They take commissions, basically. Like bounty hunters. (except not quite because there are ACTUAL bounty hunters that do a very specific thing in this world but I'll get to that later, shhhh)

Anyway, the jobs are submitted to this dude and he puts them up for "auction" (it's not really an auction though, it's more of a "first come, first serve" sorta situation, except for the times when it's a reeeeeeeallly good job and multiple people want it at the same time. then it gets auctioned off but that's not important rn). These hero guys come in, take a job, go complete the job, get paid, go get another job, etc. The jobs can range from "help me harvest my crops" to "pls kill this big scary monster that ate my pa" and are paid mostly by the commissioner and a tiny bit by the government. (ya know, for motivation to take even the jobs put up by poor people who don't have much-or any- to give)

Now the fun stuff attached to the commissions is the gambling parlor. After taking a job, the hero guy that took it can then take challenges from a bunch of rowdy gamblers to help boost his name. So say a guy took a job to go kill some monsters terrorizing a village, yeah? A gambler can challenge the hero to do the job without shoes on for some extra money. Or to do the job using only a little knife. Etc. If the hero accepts, gamblers will make bets on whether or not the hero will succeed in the challenge. If he DOES succeed, then he gets a cut of the winnings. He also gets some fame because the most famous heroes are the ones that do lots of challenges. These types of people almost always wind up fighting in tournaments and garnering love and attention from the masses.

Alrighty so that's the basic economic situation for these Hero types.

So where do our main characters come into play???

SOoooooo, our boy Andronikos (I'm gonna call him Nikos for the rest of this post because damn that name is a doozy to write) is the youngest child of two ultra famous heroes. His mom is a reeeeal vicious lady that DOMINATED the big popular tournaments back in her hey day and his dad is the most renowned and successful Hunter in all the kingdom. (remember when I mentioned bounty hunters? 👀 yeah, he's one of them)

The mom's power has to do with the manipulation of things of the Earth, so literally anything natural like rocks and grass and trees and shit. Super OP, man. The dad's power is lightning, both in the form of shooting thunderbolts and in the form of having lightning fast movement. Nikos' eldest brother inherited their father's lightning powers and his older sister inherited an uncle's summoning powers that lets her reanimate and summon dead things so long as some fiber of their body exists within a certain distance of her. (don't let her near cemeteries unless you wanna see your grandma twerking on a headstone okay)

And then sweet baby boy Nikos inherited his grandpa's healing abilities.

BOO! That's BULLSHIT. How come Nikos got the lame, harmless power??? When I tell you his mom was disappointed, I mean she was READY TO TOSS HIM IN THE TRASH AND TRY AGAIN disappointed.

Their family has a reputation of being SUPER STRONK AND POWERFUL AND SCARY. And then dumb gay ass little Nikos is over here, glowing hands, making bruises disappear like a fuckin LOSER.

Man that shit sucks.

There's no way he will live up to his family's reputation. Healing is an ultra rare power but the few people that do have it are doctors and healers who totally don't live the FAST and DANGEROUS life that Nikos wants to live. Can he get rich with that power? Sure. Of course. People always need a healer. But it's not what he wanted.

So anyway, his mom always made it perfectly clear that Nikos was a total disappointment who would never live up to her expectations and you bet he internalized the FUCK out of that and pretty much HATED himself from a super young age. He decided that in order to make up for his shit ass power, he needed to be the best at everything else instead. He studied super hard. He trained super hard. He learned to fight so good that he could even kick the ass of people with strong offensive powers.

Still though, it wasn't good enough. Even though he was ranked number one in that prestigious academy, his mom was unimpressed. Bro. That shit sucks. Nikos HATED his stupid healing ability.

Until one day, when he was about twelve years old, he snuck out of the academy dorms to do some extra training out in the woods that surrounded the place. And what does he find?

A boy, burnt and bleeding and on the very CUSP of death. Nikos didn't know where he came from or who he was, but he instinctually healed him, saved his life, and then cried tears of absolute joy because hooooooooly shit... Nikos helped someone. He saved someone from dying, a thing that ONLY HE could do.

It was the first time in his life that he was actually happy to have his powers.

So Nikos saves this kid, picks him up, and carries him back to the academy and to the headmaster. The headmaster near about had a HEART ATTACK waking up in the middle of the night to find tiny little 12 year old Nikos with a bloody, naked, unconscious kid on his back, Nikos just grinning ear to ear like "LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN THE WOODS, CAN I KEEP HIM?"

Anyway, from the moment Nikos saved him, he decided that he and this kid were gonna stick together forever and ever, no matter what. He formed a life BOND with this guy and he hadn't even woken up yet. The headmaster straight up couldn't get him away from his side.

Eventually the kid wakes up and yep, he's Taiga, our other main character. After some questioning, the headmaster learns that Taiga is a Berserker.

Uh oh Spaghetti-O.

Remember those bounty hunters I talked about?

Well, Hunters exist in this world almost purely to hunt Berserkers into extinction.

That's not their only job, of course. Technically, they're the ones you call when there is someone out there using their special powers to hurt innocent people.

But that's the thing about Berserkers. Their power is literally going Berserk at the slightest provocation. Their berserk state gives them superhuman strength and stamina and destroys all rationality and humanity. Most berserker attacks are complete accidents. Something will set them off, like fear, anger, threat of danger, or just straight up adrenaline, and they will be sucked into an uncontrollable killing spree, taking out anything that crosses their path until the state runs its course and they wake up from the trance, surrounded by the chaos they unwittingly created.

People are batshit TERRIFIED of Berserkers. To the point that Hunters have made it a sport to hunt them down and collect their eyes as trophies, which glow when in the berserker state and will continue to glow when sliced right out of their heads 😱

And Nikos' dad is the most famous Hunter in the entire kingdom, with more glowing trophies than all other Hunters combined 😋

So obviously the fact that Taiga is a Berserker is a bit of a PROBLEM. People are really dumb and scared and so if it got out that there was a Berserker on the school grounds, parents would be PISSED.

BUT, the headmaster is a good dude who cares about all children and he just can't bring himself to cast him out or call Hunters to get rid of him. Not that Nikos would let him anyway. He's claimed him and threatens to bite anybody that gets near him, after all. And where would Taiga even go, huh? After some investigating, it's revealed that the reason Nikos found him in the state he was in was because a group of Hunters sniffed him out and killed his parents on their way to murder him. So he literally has nowhere to go were he to be cast out of the academy. 😞

The headmaster decides, alright, imma protect this kid at least until he's an adult. It's his duty and he doesn't care how many parents get pissed at him 😤

Naturally, quite a few parents pull their kids from the academy in protest of the headmaster protecting Taiga but oh well 🤷‍♂️ The ones that DO stay avoid Taiga like the plague in case he go berserk and send them to hell where thEY BELONG.

It kinda hurts Taiga's feelings because he's a sweet baby boy that just loves everything. Like omg he's so kind and tender and adorable okay. The complete opposite of Nikos, who has an endless supply of rage constantly bubbling over the rim of his attitude pot.

But hey, it's okay because they're together. And they're literally INSEPARABLE. Even though it totally burns Nikos up that Taiga surpasses him in almost every single way (save for speed and smarts), bumping him down to number two in the academy's rankings. Whatever. It's fine. Nikos knows it's because Taiga is a berserker and so his physical capabilities are off the charts on a base level. He tries real hard not to take it personally. (it's impossible to stay mad at Taiga anyway he's just SO CUTE)

Years pass and stuff happens at the academy and shit of course like Taiga accidentally punching a hole straight through Nikos' chest and almost killing him but it's okay because he heals himself up before he can die but it totally scares the shit out of Taiga but ya know c'est la vie, and finally they graduate from the academy and are tossed out in the world to be adults. The headmaster sends Taiga out with his surname, a stamp of approval that is to be taken seriously because the headmaster is like, VERY respected in society. This is enough to keep Hunters off his back at least until he kills his first innocent civilian. (Which Nikos swears will never happen, he won't let it)

They start taking commissions. Nikos goes for high paying, easy jobs while Taiga almost ALWAYS goes for low paying, difficult ones. (to Nikos' chagrin because UGH now he's gonna have to be the breadwinner to support their asses) Taiga also goes overboard with accepting challenges in his desperation to make society like him and not think of him as just some uncontrollable monster. Meanwhile Nikos is like "fuck your challenges you gambling losers" and always refuses them, which makes him a total wet blanket but HEY at least he's getting paid up the ass in gold, wassup.

Anyway, so thus begins their life of adventure. I won't spoil any major plot points but there will definitely be drama pertaining to Nikos' dad being a Hunter and his mom being a piece of shit bitch. There will also be drama with society rejecting Taiga left and right and invoking Nikos' wrath.

There will also be a mysterious person who aims to "Collect" rare powers and has set their sights on Nikos' healing and thus sends his creepy crony to tempt him to allow himself to be collected. 👀

Also there's an old crotchety man who put out an extremely high paying job with the description "Take my pain away" that Nikos accepts because UH DUH, HE'S A HEALER, WHO BETTER TO TAKE PAIN AWAY? but the job turns out to be way more complicated than he thought and he and the old guy become friends and he offers wisdom and help along the way 👀👀👀👀👀

But anyway, that's the gist of the story, minus the plot twists I will keep secret until I can actually write them. 🖤

THE END GO HOME

[always-a-slut-for-star-wars]

I'm curious, have you done ANY research into the allegations against Rosario? Fyi, the whole thing is on the word of ONE person who was friends with her and her family for decades, then she got rich and famous and suddenly he decided to sue her for a lot of money. Like, he was cool with them for 20 years and THEN suddenly they're abusive transphobes once he sees a payday in it? Shady as fuck imo

I agree that there is certainly not a lot of information on the matter and does seem a little dodgy and shady. However, even if someone is accused of being transphobic, I am not particularly keen on supporting them, especially if I don’t know them personally. I know neither party well on a personal level so I can’t be certain that the allegations are true. Overall, I would say that Dawson has done a lot of good things on her platform like encouraging people to vote, to celebrate Juneteenth, and to wear masks (all very good things).

But until she has been cleared I don’t want to support someone that has potentially been transphobic. If the allegations arent true (which I do hope they arent) then I will be a very happy supporter of her as I have been before these allegations.

If there’s information that I’ve missed I would like to know about it because I could be very wrong and I could be just following what a lot of people have been saying about her. So please feel free to educate me and knock some sense into me if I need it.

But until I can confidently say that the allegations are false, then no Rosario near my Ahsoka please. :)

[ecsta-zi]

My experience with white privilege (and how I found out it was real)

I was 20 years old and had been living in the Bronx for 4 years. I had a GED and seasonal/temp experience in both the restaurant and retail industries (3-4 months each.) So i only had about a year of experience working in retail and about 6 months or so working in restaurant. It seemed as though I was only capable of obtaining temporary jobs. It was frustrating because no matter how hard I worked at these jobs I just never seemed to be good enough to be hired permanently. Both times they simply told me that there were no permanent positions to be filled but my insecurities tell me I wasn't good enough.

When it came time to find a new job my boyfriend's mother referred me to Lisa Employment Agency at 247 West 35th Street New York, N.Y 10001. A job agency where you can only get restaurant jobs. She handed me my money and I was there at 8:45 am on 05/17/17.

When I came in, there was an area for people to wait. It was already filled for being nearly 9 :00 am and per usual I am the only caucasian in the room. Most of the people in the room were black and hispanic men. Some were half asleep, some of them were on their phone and some simply looked stressed. I saw an empty seat on the left side middle row at the end. Ahead there were a few desks. A Hispanic woman to the front left whos name is Sue and another Hispanic woman to the front right. In the back with the big desk there was a Hispanic man by the name of Rene Munoz.

Before my body even touched the seat I was called up by the big man himself (Rene.) I handed him the money and the resume I created myself. He looked at it and said "you don't have a lot of experience but that's ok because you're young." He made a phone call and I had a job interview set up for me to go to immediately. My position was "helper" at the juice bar at Pier 59 Studios. My starting wage was $15/Hr. This was BEFORE the minimum wage was set to $15/hr. If you don't know what Pier 59 Studios it is the LARGEST photography studio in the world. Name any fashion magazine! They've done shoots there. Now I am an obese pale white girl who wore their makeup like it was still 2010. Everyone there was GORGEOUS and the place was boujee as fuck. Even the damn secretary at the front desk was super model gorgeous. I felt out of place. Anyway, when Rene Munoz handed me the card he told me "bring more people like you, you know your kind....your friends."

He basically told me to bring more white people.

Prior to arriving my boyfriend's mother who was friends with sue (lady at the desk to the right who got my boyfriend the job at blake and Todd on 47th street) told me that sue told her that they were looking for more white people and that I would not have a problem getting a job because I'm white. My boyfriend's mother is hispanic as well as my boyfriend.

Since I was 14 I've been in and out of homes, cities, and towns where I was the only white girl. I was use to jokes like that. Like "oh don't worry you're white the cops won't pay you no mind" or the one time my friend said to her mom "don't worry mom she's white we won't get into any trouble." as a joke. I simply thought it was another one of those things.

I didn't actually think she was being deadass!!!

At the time I wasn't going to sit there and run my mouth about how racist that shit was. A bitch needed a job I didn't want to lose MY job opportunity by preaching. I shut my mouth and I went. [ Insert White Privilege Here]

At this agency you pay a fee and they give you three shots to try out different jobs. If i didn't like one they'd give me another.

My first day at Pier 59 studios was my training and I couldn't handle the pressure. There was so much perfection expected of you because you're serving drinks to people who worked in the fashion industry. There was talk about the famous people who came in and out of there, and there were perfect gorgeous people around me and i was a potato. Also apparently there was this very important french woman who worked in the industry having some brunch meeting. I wasn't about catering to people and celebrities in the fashion industry. I didn't show up the second day.

When I try to tell people this story, especially people from my race, they get so mad at me because they're the type of people who don't believe in "white privilege." They say the same thing as any other white person who doesn't get it. "I had a hard life, i was poor, i had no privileges, i had to work hard for everything I have. No that wasn't an example of white privilege it was an example of racism" That one was the most idiotic I've ever heard. But they fail to realize that there are employers out there that would literally take one look at you and one look at the black guy next to you and choose you simply because you're white. They don't understand that these men that were waiting in the waiting area were 10+ years older than me and obviously way more experienced! That they are waiting for jobs to accept them for an INTERVIEW because the employers working with the agency told them theyre not hiring black people and that they aren't hiring people who can't speak perfect english. I mean, it was heavily implied given the fact that only poc are sitting there and i walk out with a job interview in less than 20 minutes and was straight up told to my face to bring more people like me . They overlook the part where I tell them that Rene acknowledged the fact that I had little experience and he still gave me this boujee ass job with high expectations!! Completely missed the fact that the man told me to BRING MY KIND. That the color of my skin meant that I had a long list of employment opportunities because that is what they're looking for.

I was like them in a sense. I too grew up shit poor, i have a ged, I'm basically white trash and that I never got anywhere bc of my skin color. That day though, reality slapped me so hard I still can't believe that REALLY happened, that it still happens and that it happened right in front of my face.

I didn't do a thing about it. I felt so guilty for awhile and I still do. This isn't that "white guilt" shit or me "apologizing for being white." I know that pisses off white people.

Black and Hispanic people contributed a lot to who I am and where I am right now in my life even at 23 years old. I was raised and mentored by strong black queens who I would do anything for. If it weren't for them I probably wouldn't be alive. I was educated and influenced by black men. If it weren't for them I would still be struggling with reading comprehension, i would've failed english and history. I would've never got my GED. I wouldn't have gone to college. If it weren't for latinas I wouldn't know shit about cooking or cleaning or how to manage money, i wouldn't have a home, and i wouldn't have done anything decent in my life.

All of these people, people of color, who lifted me up off the ground, picked up every piece of my brokenness, and made me whole are the reason why I felt guilty. Not because I am ashamed to be white. But because I am ashamed of the fact that I wouldn't have even been there at that job agency if it weren't for them and that I failed to be an ally all for some boujee ass job I didn't want anyway.

I had to accept the fact that there wasn't much that I could do.

One day I was fucking around on google maps, writing reviews for places I've been to. I decided to look up Lisa Employment Agency and I wrote a review regarding what happened that day. A warning to those who are poc and desperate for a job to not give them their money. That was the best that I could do.

The purpose of me writing this is because people don't understand how real this shit is and that it still happens. White people don't understand that just because YOU yourself have never been in a position where you used your white privilege doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

It does. Its real. And it's fucked up.

******Below I have a photo of the card that Rene gave me. I still have it for some reason. A big chuck of it was cut off but you can still see the name of the man at the agency. You can see where it says Pier, the date is there, and my starting salary. (I cut a piece of it off to scoop up my weed sorry) It is the only proof I have that it happened. The name and number written above my name was the name of the owner or manager at pier 59 studios.******

[the-firebird69]

When someone says don't send me any more emails it means don't send me any more emails. The guy sent him a more email and it was one more and was suing him. And we're going to take all that stuff he's been taking from our son huge lots of stuff no tiny stuff yeah but it's his and we're going to take it I'm going to take everything he has he's a stupid schmuck and he deserves it I'm open in case now and I'm assigning it as soon as we get it together we're going to court and issue the order this morning if you have a get together come to me and approve it it's ready to go to court we have nine cases today no we have 90 regarding our son all of them are idiots here are things that you've been doing throughout his lifetime you're a bunch of losers shiesters and you're going to pay for it.

I'm going to court today and it's regarding Ellie and John that's right they want to go to court to sue for the will and they are already listed as not going to appear by the judge and it's the same judge. So they're going to get thrown out and probably arrested cuz they open their mouths then the b**** will come by and fight the idiot and they're both get arrested and they should they all rights to be shot and burned that's what they should do to him these people are animals and act like pigs and they don't know anything about anything and they just keep on going it stupid things but they're going to go through it I guess and instead of court date for 1:00 p.m. and the judge said I don't know why we accepted it then you remembered it was before that happened so he can call it off and say no and he might do that because it's already a moot case and they're not relatives so they're going to sit there and say they are and they can sit in their house all they want and say they are and the judges calling us now I'm on the phone he says no court case it's been canceled and taken off the books. And it's good that's good they needed to figure that out. And Ellie has been served because she's still using the name and she's married to someone with a different name I believe that and Mark Antonio is going to take him off as a relative he's not a relative everybody on Earth is trying to do it now too your retard and you're not my family and you're a mooch and you need to leave if you don't leave you'll be shot and then pulling them out and they're getting shot huge Bunches of them and they're getting shot for things like you're seeing on TV I've been hurting a lot of people and burying them in shower Graves and they're hurting animals and stuff that are famous and the poor bird is caring instead spouses feather around hoping someone cares and saw our son look and said he acts like he cares what can he do and he says fly somewhere else and he gets the message and said what about the boyfriend he's taking a rest and he gets it and he'll probably leave soon. These people are nasty assholes I want sympathy and stuff for things that they're doing that's a losers so at this time Trump is calling threats in and terrorist threats and he's being very vocal about it and he is launching them globally and pretty soon there's going to be a lot of people out here getting arrested a lot and it's because of that and because they're trying to get mail through these idiots are instructing it trying to take it at the end. The clones are pouring in and they are killing all these idiots you're going after them Corky and Company and they see that they said her son was making them do it which is a lie. But there's a global movement on they see what Trump is doing and as his almost King position and they see it from the inside there's a bunch of races there and a bunch of spies and yeah we're going to stop the clean stuff. And see warlock flying around. And there's a bunch of spies who are in Britain and they are taking these idiots out.

Trump is after his two shots again apparently they won't stop going after it and there are massive numbers of people depending it and they're using it people who are insulted by him and threatened using this code his motorcycle code are defending the place until they leave so I can come get their bikes and educate their clan and show them what episode and what they're saying and what they're doing and they're sending people out and they have filming video and they're exposing it they already gave them a precursor about it and told people what they were doing and yeah the idiots took over the casino so our son can't make any money there and they're not going to get a thing big fat goose egg. And Biden is having a tough time sometimes. But they are going over this motorcycle code ahead of time and it's very potent and very powerful and they're losing it all they're getting arrested it's going to get bigger and bigger from this especially when they get to those special bikes. Having it is more potent and all of them are there almost every single one they made except for I think three that they made for themselves and it's code for themselves and we're going to try for those because their son says it's code for what they're supposed to do and now we're going after it and we're going to compete with Max and we know where they are in an accident going up there now it's going to be a huge fight against Trump it's kind of a gentleman saying because we know what the code is and what they look like and we know all the specs on the bike and what they changed too and he has that information as well he was right there.

He won the case against rfmd micro devices and the court is going to send a $250,000 to our son if I get here before everything else because Ken Baker is determined to get it here to try and cut our sun loose you mean stop kidnap him by harming me harming him and his son will kill him because he's done it before and he's ordered to and he will he's still a lot more than just one person at a time can Baker and your people are wimps. I had you down there's no need to hurt you Brad but you punch me anyways well right so I should have done something to you but Mac Daddy was nearby and you got out of it and you're alive because of him. And I should have killed you because the math because someone else had to do it and you found out it's Trump. And you can ask Mark that too. McDonald's trying to say you weren't listening but I'm aware of the situation now if someone steaming out of control they have to be stopped with lethal Force. And I've been doing it secretly. And our son said that it's true too people die around them all the time and you're so dumb you can't figure it out now we're going to get our money back from you toying with him this morning with a stupid Charlotte county transportation and we're going to pull that b**** out of there too. They'll get rid of her judges which is fake. There's a lot going on there's a lot of more luck dying so I'm more like being picked up and seeking them on special warrant all over the world and they're also going after them very hard they were supposed to put up a blockade and anyway they could and they don't seem to want to do stuff without stealing ships cuz they can't build the ships they don't have any ability to and they said it. So everybody's fighting them at the lay down areas right now they're wanted people and that's why it's really what the reason is they won't give it a rest and they're going to be in the way they're an impediment and worse and her son says just get rid of him wholesale and take your stuff what is so complicated about that let's start fighting you and they're attacking you go over there sending the people from and say you're attacking us he's stupid idiots give me this and this and this so they're doing that and they're doing it before but they sort of get it they're in the wrong they're useless and they're going to keep doing the stupid s*** and the cloning needs to be erased and we're doing it too they're huge nuisances. And Trump is a massive nuisance next door just to have to get rid of them.

The chopper thing with the American choppers in Orange county choppers is going very well Dan is out there splitting himself and Trump is out there playing himself pretty soon they'll be out of people out there and they'll be a break and they're going to get the bikes then there's going to be a fight over the shops and they want the shops in a place where they can look at it and the sun says that Maccan put it inside of a fortress. He agrees

Thor Freya

He's a pretty sharp cookie and I went through the numbers and he's had to defend himself by hand and by far he's one of the top murderers of warlock that there is he's got almost a million deaths than he did by hand physically did it not writing stuff down if you include that he's number one without a doubt. It really his ideas awesome and take these two buildings and you put them in a secure facility and I know what that means and you try not to tell people if you do you have to start this war there and you wheel in a bike at a time or more and with the clams that were involved and they're doing several bikes at times so you're Wheeling those bikes and my thinking is more in tune to what it is and you go around and you visit the spot so we're doing and patterned me up here and there are some patterns in there chilling just like what they are doing to our friend here years ago saying stuff and they failed at it miserably cuz they're very loud and horribly stupid. And I'm going to go through with it it sounds awesome and it's not that difficult and it's easy to move so have this rendition and we'll grab the bikes and they'll probably flow in by then and then we'll grab the buildings and we got the idea from Batman cuz he sent it back and it gets her tons of them more more than you think and you said wow that's awesome and I learned it from Mac and Olympus and he says wow that's incredible negative as they have it. So you told me one day it's the code is in the bikes and it's very negative and it's like I was real surprised how negative so I looked and I said boy that's very negative stuff started attacking them and spread and it's really famous their stuff is so sick and bogus they really sit at home and yelled at each other like the good news it's ugly as s*** and our friend has seen it too they don't have any character like you see in their ads and stuff and sit here and sit in the couch and then stuck in it and they're yelling at people and Mike and Chris couldn't get any dishes I couldn't reach anything and had to leave there's no way they could eat there and the guys yelling you're not going to eat here. And he wanted to talk to her son to see if he was saying stuff and he says of course I'm saying stuff but what is the act going to be if you guys are in control just ask yourself that who you going to move off but yourselves you probably just end up eating each other sorry to say it so he put his hands up in the air and said we can't help it I said that's what I know. And we think that they put him in control so that would not be a prevalent thing so now we're going after him cuz they're so stupid they would do that

Emma Roberts Movie Week

It’s actually a bit unexpected. I didn’t plan this, I just watched Scream IV and her character made me love her even more, then I did after Chanel. So I thought, why not, no matter that I planned Brendan Fraser Movie Week.

 Day 1: Scream IV (2011)

It’s not the movie I want to talk about (because I plan to make a post about the whole franchise, after watching the TV Series), but about he character. I mean, how awesome is watching Emma Roberts as psycho killer. Especially a very convincing psycho killer, trying to kill Sidney. After watching Scream Queens and knowing how well she plays bitchy characters, so it was very entertaining. The third act of course. Watching her as a side character was just okay. That’s really all I can say. So yeah, there you go folks. Also the villain monologue was fun. Just read for yourself:

Favorite Jill quote:

Jill Roberts: My friends? What world are you living in? I don't need friends. I need fans. Don't you get it? This has never been about killing you? It's about becoming you. I mean, for fuck's sake, my own mother had to die, no great loss there, so I could stay true to the original. That's sick, right? Well, sick is the new sane. You had your 15 minutes, now I want mine! I mean, what am I supposed to do? Go to college? Grad school? Work? Look around. We all live in public now, we're all on the Internet. How do you think people become famous any more? You don't have to achieve anything. You just gotta have fucked up shit happen to you. So you have to die, Sid. Those are the rules. New movie, new franchise. There's only room for one lead, and let's face it, your ingenue days, they're over. A bit long, yeah, but how great. Isn’t that weird, that her monologue is longer then my text about her character?

Day 2: Wild Child (2008)

A very linear teen drama, but in England. Why would I pick that? The real question is: Why not? I mean, yes, it’s stupid, and yes, I’m an adult, but I’m still a kid inside, and I know it’s a bad movie, but it was still entertaining sometimes. Again, watching Emma playing a bitch is fun, for 20 minutes, but it was still fun. If we got through the best part, let’s get to business. Her character growth was okay, her friends were okay, their relation was okay. The school bitch was awfully stereotypical, no matter that her first appearance said otherwise. I hoped at least that from that movie, but it didn’t even give me that, so...

The fun part tho was just turning my brain off for an hour and half, and just watch Emma hanging out with some teenagers with British accent. It’s still one of my favorite female celebrities. Also her name was Poppy! It could belike the flower, but hearing “Poppy” made me think about That Poppy. Which is always a little plus. Wow, that paragraph about the things I liked is too short. Hey, Nick Frost! 

The montage was awful... it broke me from the movie every 30 seconds, which was hard to watch. Also the scene quick before the end was so cringe. At least for me. They were losing, then made a dance, and magically they won! (The dance was cringe, if someone were wondering)

Well that’s all, it was between average and okay.

Favorite quote:

Poppy: I didn't start it, it wasn't my fault, and if this were America, I would sue.

That’s true, OMC. America is beautiful, I love it, I want to visit it someday.

 Day 3: The Art of Getting By (2011) 

There is a thin line between being a good movie, and being pretentious. This movie sadly is on the wrong side of the line. 

Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed watching this movie, it got to me, I love the main character, George, I can see myself in him, somehow. I always wanted to be that weird guy on the side, or I just want it, because these guys (like in this movie) alwayse ended up happy at the end, and I want the same thing for myself. But that’s a theme for different post. I liked seeing the world through his eyes. The scene showing how he wanted to get over Sally was great. Or when she broke him with the weird sex questions, during their “date”. Freddie’s acting was very convincing, and I didn’t saw the actor, I saw a boy with problems. The relations between him and the other characters and the way he reacten to every rational thing, he should do, but just couldn’t. I can also say a good thing about the side characters. I really liked them. The way they were created, even if some of theme didn’t have a lot of screen time, I had still fun spendind time with them. Like when Sallys’s mother told her, that she should be with George or when the painter struggled to be with Sally. I could also say about how I liked the montage and directing, but who cares? Also I liked the “development” of Freddie’s character, like in the first and second part who was becomind worse and worse...

Sadly the thing I was most anticipating in this movie was Emma Roberts and... well, Sally totally blows. I disliked her after 5 or so minutes. I’m not really sure if she’s such a bad actress, or it was just like her character was written, but Sally was so wooden. She was pretty, yes, but that’s just one of two things, that I think George could see in her (the second is, that she really cared about him and liked him, for example the scene, when they were sleeping next to each other, or when she called him every 5 minutes, whe he left her). I also really, really disliked her, when she broke my precious George! I mean, who does she think she is? (that’s not a blame on the movie, just another reason to not like her character, which isn’t a bad thing) Sally was the second most important character, but she dind’t develop at all. It was painfull to watch her in some scenes, beacause I knew that she would hurt George, because he wanted to go forwrd in some way, but she was staying the same all the time. Another thing I didn’t like was most of the third act. How George suddenly (I know it was because of his mother, he didn’t to upset her any more) change his attitude to life and so quickly straightened everything. It just wasn’t convincing for me. Also it was very predictable. Him, getting the diploma, her, going back to him, the painting, being Sally. Sad. Sadly. They could work on that a little more.

Favorite qoute:

Sally Howe: What were you like as a child?

George Zinavoy: I was such a better person than I am now.

Sally Howe: Come on.

George Zinavoy: I'm serious. I was happy. I was open. I was curious. But I'll tell you this: I knew when it was ending. I was overwhelmed with sadness when I realized that I was going to change, and that it was all most likely going to get worse, like a nostalgia for the present. I couldn't shake it... 

And it’s sad to say, that I dind’t like her creation. It really is. I hope it’s not her acting and I can see her again in a small movie, but with more. More to play and that she actually does it well. For now I like her justas the bitchy/psycho type.

 Day 4: Nancy Drew (2007)

Hey I’m actually keeping up! Only three das/movies left.

So I just looked up (on Wikipedia, I’m not a detective) that, as I thought, the movie is based on a book series for teenagers, with the same name. 

I start with the things I liked. And don’t let it fool you, there were’nt as many. The start was quite fine and fun to watch. The city and the charachters living in it. Just the world created around Nancy in her home town was adorable, just to be fine for a few minutes. I also liked Nancy at some point. I guess Emma can play charismatic characters, not just bitches. Which is good, but it wasn’t very good acting, since it also wasn’t a role that needed a good actress, just because the writting was so doll. Ahh, I wanted to say, what I liked first. So I also liked the side characters from her home town, like her father and Ned, or some of the LA characters: just Jane and Leshing. And the styling. I think the setting around our main characters was cute. Her dressing style, the style of that “hounted” house or her home town (I didn’t remember it, I’m really not familiar with the book series). Hey, Bruce Willis!

That’s sadly all, not many good things, that I could talk about. The writting tho. Ugh! It was so, so bad. Mished with that acting was just terrible to watch. Just because I liked some charachters, does not mean, I think they well written well, or that they were acted well. They weren’t. None of them. Maybe Nancy and her father a little, but that’s all. The story... Just meh. After half an hour I wasn’t feeling any mistery. And talk about tension, there was none of it. Even the scene when they were just about to kill Nancy, I was felling nothing. Oh wait, I was annoyed. Because the side characters from her new school had appeared on my screen! I hated them. Especially Corcky. uhh... I just felt like a story written by a teenager, and I think not a teenager has written it (no, it were two adult people). I mean, do they know, they can make a movie for children (and this, BTW, felt like a movie for 3-6 years old), that’s also entertaining for adults? Look at Teen Titans GO: To the Movies! (2018). That’s a good example.

Favorite quote:

Carson Drew: Phone call. Long distance from Scotland. Something about the Loch Ness Monster and some missing diamonds. Nancy Drew: Another case!

Well, despite how I disliked ths movie, I would definietly watch a sequel with Nessi. But it didn’t gross much, which I’m not suprised with.

 Day 5:

Got distracted, by discovering “The Pitch” from ScreenRant. Totally got me. Binge watched like 20 episodes.

 Actual Day 5: Paradise Hills (2019)

What a weirdly boring movie. Maybe I didn’t pay to much attention as I should, but it didn’t get me at all.

I wanted to watch something new, to see how her acting “grow” with her, but... Again, she didn’t get much to play. Which is very dissapointing. 

To start with the good things. The movie is extreamly beautiful. It looks so magical. The movie has just a 6 million budget, but it was still enough to hire Emma Roberts, Milla Jovovich, Awkwafina and to build a gorgeous set. The CGI was very visible, but only in two scenes (like the car on the beginning for example). And... That’s all? The acting of most main cast fine, I guess. 

OMC, where to start even? Idea for the story: very, very unoriginal. It’s actually felt much like The Island (2005) and a little like Sucker Punch (2011) (although I don’t remember it very well), maybe a mix of bouth. It’s not bad, it’s just made not so well. The script: dull, slow and predictible. I don’t like saying this, because I mostly shut of my brain, try to have fun and don’t predict anything, but it was hard. The ending tho. Seriously, to predictable. And no, I didn’t predict, that Jovovich is playing a fucking rose witch/vampire. That actually suprised me. The characters: they we’re okay, but mostly still to stereotypical, like for eample Milla’s witch, Emma’s main and the sidecharacter singer. Again just complaining on the same things I complained the last three movies.

Favorite quote:

Duchess: *screams, while changing into a bush*

I still have one critycally acclaimed drama (to see her acting on a good script) and a good movie to end the marathon happy :3

Day 6: Palo Alto (2013)

I can’t say. I liked this movie. Not a lot, but it was still enjoyable for me.

I thought Emma will play the main character, which she has and hasn’t in a way. She was one of the main characters with Teddy i think. Yeah, okay, I’m almost sure. I know I was supposed to watch a critically aclaimed movie, and this isn’t one, but, eh, it has 69% on RottenTomatoes, so not so bad. Also! It’s stars James Franco. I liked the acting. I’m still dissapointed, that Emma stil does not have much to play. I’m not sure if she’s just okay at acting, or she takes parts of empty blonds. I still love her, it’s just... it’s getting harder and harder to watch her as not charismatic characters. Anyway, I liked the acting, even much. I’m not sure if the actor playing Teddy (Val Kilmer’s son! and Val KIlmer played April’s father xD) was playing him self, but I’m happy with what I got. The same goes for Fred, the coach and April’s father. Finally after these few dissapointing movies, I got something, that dind’t speak to me much, but at least I liked the characters and had fun watching them get better, or worse, or not changing, or having a quick cameo. 

The story was... okay. But connected to this characters, I don’t really have much to complain. The tempo was a bit slow with April’s story, and a bit to fast with Teddy’s. Like The Art of Getting By (2011), this movie crossed a bit the thin line, of being too pretencional. But this doesn’t botter me that much.

Favorite quote:

April: I'm not depressed, why do you always think I'm depressed? I'm just tired.

Day 7: It’s kind of a funny story (2010)

I absolutely loved this movie! It took me from teh beginning with that scene on the bridge. Totally my kind of humor. The main character was easy to equate with, at least for me, like, being a bit assholish on the beginnig, and then turning in a fully good and  empathetic person. The perfect character arc for a feel good movie, like this one. It hit me by suprise, how good it was. The movie has average ratings and is rotten on RottenTomatoes. I know why, but the things, that for others were a flaw, for me was a good quality. I dind’t read the reviews, but I saw flaws in the movie, and in the story. I know, I know, it’s a basic story, a bit (maybe a lot) predictable even. But I turned my brain off for one and a half hour and had a lot of fun. The charachters where, no, seamed 3-dimensional. Everyone, at some point even. I totally believed, these are not actors, these are people. Especially the main trio, obviosly. I dind’t know  Zach Galifianakis can play something more then a stupid fat guy, by playing a not so stupid fat guy with problems. And Emma, still not what I’m expecting from her, but a lot better, then the other movies I guess (with exceptions of course). Even Craigs parents felt so real, and his friend and his love interest in the beginning. The main advantage of the movie is, that, as I pointed out earlier, it makes you feel better. It made me thing, that there is something more for me, that I don’t have to be this sad, fat guy, working and sitting by the computer all the time. Also the acting, OMC. It was great. How thought, to bring Viola Davis to this project? Great idea, even for these few minutes. But, yeah, I also pointed that out already. And, I liked, how the movie was directed. The scene, where they sang together, fabulous.

So what’s the flaws? It was predictable, if you just try to think a little. I dind’t realise that, till after the movie. Also, some characters, from being fine written, turned to flat characters, to drive the plot. Yes, I mean Nia, that was so unnecessary. It was just so Noelle would get mad at Craig. And will winning Noelle back be hard? It’s gonna be (quoting the screenwriter from Pitch Meeting) “super easy! Barely an inconvenience.” Which is dissapointing. 

Favorite quote:

Craig: Do you like music?

Noelle: Do you like breathing?

Bonus: A few words about Channel and whole Scream Qeens (2015-2016)

This series also took me by suprise, a bit. I loved Ariana Grande at that time, but since she quitted acting, and got mostly into music, I started to watch this show. And, as dissapointing as it was at that time, Chanel #2 was killed in the first episode. But since this was a slasher, and I do love those, I stayed. Who am I kidding. It dind’t stay because of the killing, but because of the story, characters and humor mostly. Jamie Lee Curtis is a wonderful actress and watching her going “against” bitchy Emma Roberts, was like watching a unicorn... I don’t a good compare, but you get it. It was extreamly entertaining. The world building, so caricature, it was so fun. Chanel killing a random lady? Yes please. These show was filled with mains driving the series with just themselfs and the sideones adding to it a lot. Even if they get killed eventually. Obviously the first season was way better, then the second. But the second was even more bizzare, which recompensed a bit the flaws of it. Do I like the decisions, who got the be the killers in both seasons? Yes, of course! For example, the chemistry between Dr. Cassidy and Chanel #3 was great in the second half of the second season. Just awesome.

Oh, yeah, a few more about Chanel. Wonderful, stole every scene she was in. Not a character, you could lift a show on, but the definietly good to be one of the mains.

Favorite quote:

Chanel: Good morning, sluts.

Chanel #2, #3 and #5: Good morning, Chanel

Like I could pick any other, than this.

So what do I think about Emma in the end?

She’s not a great, but a good actress, she could lift the whole movie, if she get’s a good character to play, like in Wild Child (2008), which was not much, but she was still a teenager then, and made it. 

Do I see her in drama roles?

Yes, actually. I love her, when she plays bitchy, charismatic, or even psycho characters, because she’s great at it, but I still want to see her other side. A hard part to play, in which she can shock everyone in how good of an actress she is. She didn’t have the chance yet.

I hope she gets more lucky and popular at some time. She’s still under 30 (28 years old), so she has most of her live before her, and already an impressive filmography. I wish her all the best.
