Surprise

luke hughes x actress!reader

note: love them and this request 🩷

warnings: eating, food, calling kraft dinner bad even though i eat it like once a week

word count: 840

Y/n was so excited to see Luke, they haven’t been together in person for around a month because Y/n was busy in LA filming the next season of the Evelyn Hugo series. And now that that was done filming she quickly got on the next plane to New Jersey to see the boy. She purposely told him she would be there a day later than she actually was because she wanted to surprise him.

Just now she was in the elevator of the building, Jack had told her the code to get into the apartment building so as to not alert Luke of the surprise, when she got a call from the very boy she was going to see. Fishing the phone out of her pocket and glancing at the caller ID brought a soft smile to her face, “Hey, baby.” “Hey” 

She heard the sound of pots and pans crashing together in the background of the call, “What’re you doing, hun?” “I’m cooking!” “You know how to do that?” She said in a teasing voice as the elevator door opened to the boy's floor, she continued the conversation as she walked towards his door. 

“Yes! I do..” His voice slightly unsure, “Sounds like you’re having trouble.” She mumbles, now at his door trying to be quiet and waiting to knock, “Well the directions are unclear.” “Well, I’ll help you.” “How-” He was cut off by the sound of knuckles knocking against his door. He mumbled a small ‘one sec’ before making his way to answer the door which made the girl laugh.

The door opened revealing the smiling girl, and the very happily shocked boy. Almost without thinking Luke brings Y/n into a big hug, lifting her off the ground with his hand under her thighs. His forehead rested against her collarbone, as if he didn’t believe she was there, like she would slip away at any moment. After a few more moments, whispering their greetings small ‘hello’s and soft ‘i love you’s coming from both.

Luke finally let the girl slip down, her feet once again finding the floor. And as Luke goes to grab his girl’s suitcase, said girl did a once over of the apartment only to see water boiling over the pot and all over the stove, “Luke!” She rushed over to the stove a took the pot of the element and turned the heat down, “Who let you cook unsupervised?” “Jack usually does it.” 

He walked past her, giving her a kiss on the top of her head and walked down the hallway to his room where he set the girl’s bags down and came back to the kitchen to now find that Y/n had taken over the entire operation of making dinner.

“You’re not having boxed mac & cheese for dinner.” She muttered, shaking her head and placing the box back in the cupboard. Collecting a few things she sees in the cupboards and fridge to make him a good dinner. She found an onion, which she was very surprised by. It must have been the influence of Jack’s girlfriend. 

Y/n was already cutting up the onions when Luke came back into the kitchen, and ofcourse Luke came up from behind, his hands wrapped around her waist and his chin rested on her shoulder to watch her actions. He eventually asked to help so she gave him little jobs. Then they sat on the couch, Y/n between Lukes legs as they ate dinner and ended up watching ‘10 things I hate about you’ per Y/n’s request, really it was just because she loved Luke’s reaction when she wouldn’t shut up about how hot Heath Ledger is in it.

“-and he is just, like, beyond what should be humanly capable, y’know?” Grabbing his drink from the side table, Luke says, “He’s good as the joker.” This caused the girl to let out a small laugh.

After the movie the two turned on a show, and just cuddled and talked until they would hopefully fall asleep together.

“Why do all NHL players like golf?” “I don’t know.. It’s a sport to play in summer? And I guess you don’t have to think too hard, and we can just hang out and talk?” 

They were now laying across the couch, Y/n’s head on his chest, Luke’s hands running up and down the girl’s back under her shirt as ‘Bob’s burgers’ played in the background. She drew small doodles on his bicep, as they both lolled each other to sleep as they talked. 

“That makes more sense than what I thought.” “What did you think?” “I thought it was because it’s the same action.. Or close.” 

She didn’t expand thinking Luke understood, she assumed that was self-explanatory, but then Luke asked, “What?” “Y’know, like, shooting a puck and hitting a golf ball is the same action in the hips.” “Okay.” Luke said, softly chuckling as he brought one hand to the girl’s hair, giving her head scratches and twirling the strands between his fingers.

Don't you just hate it when one of the biggest grifters online decides to like a piece of media you like?

Gatekeeping is wrong. Forcing someone to like something in the specific way I interact and consume a piece of media is wrong. Art is meant to be viewed through a multitude of lenses, and each individual will have their own way of interpreting that creation. And that's good. That's fine. That's human.

But when an Anti-Woke Grifter who thinks alcoholism is a really cool personality trait and decides to brand everything about themselves as that; who has historically engaged and criticized films and shows and games and books in bad faith; who has put down women and POC's and Queer representation in media; who is one of the biggest dicks in the online space decides to actually pay attention to an art that is pretty much dipped, coated, laminated, and injected with fucking GAY, ANTI-PATRIARCHAL ENERGY—that's when I get mad.

For those not in the know, Critical Drinker has posted a review for Blue Eye Samurai, saying he likes it.

You know... Blue Eye Samurai?

The show that oozes Queer Wrath? Feminine Rage? Curb-Stomping Toxic Masculinity and the Patriarchy whenever and wherever it can? That Blue Eye Samurai?

See, he's done this before with Arcane.

He says he likes it. Him and his ilk say that, "Finally, the wokies have done something actually good!" and point to Vi and Jinx as strong female characters written well!

But they also say, dang, feels like all the men in that show are idiots and that they had to be dumbed down to make room for the rainbow-haired girlies brigade. Who have all remarked that Vi and Caitlyn's relationship is forced and being shoved down our throats because god forbid women like women!

I got sick of watching his Arcane review halfway, and this was before I knew what a douche Critical Sucker was.

So I ain't watching his Blue Eye Samurai review. Why?

His Glass Onion review was done in bad faith.

I didn't like She-Hulk, but that's because that show was a byproduct of abused VFX animators, creatively bankrupt executives, and writers desperately trying to manage a convoluted shared universe that continues to buckle under its own weight. Political Stinker over here thinks that it's pandering, stupid, feminist garbage. He is one of the biggest Anti-Feminist voices in Youtube.

Him and his incel brigade have an obsession over hating Captain Marvel and Brie Larson. These basement dwelling cucks rant and rave over a mediocre duology and an actress that just lives in their tiny heads rent-free.

He says that they are removing men from leading roles and roles of great importance!

So why would I want to listen to an inebriated libertarian's opinions on a show that has become the show for lesbians, trans mascs, and other lovely brands of gay and feminism that he oh so despises? He'll most likely praise the action and violence and shit like that, then probably say that Mizu and Taigen's homoerotic rivalry isn't gay actually. Or that Mizu and Akemi's narrative foils don't scream enemies-to-sapphics. Or that Mizu, WHO'S NAME MEANS WATER AND HER ENTIRE CHARACTER REVOLVES AROUND FLUIDITY ISN'T IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM FLUID IN HER GENDER AND SEXUALITY.

Fuck. I'm sorry. I don't even care if he doesn't say that. He's made so many disgusting, disparaging remarks about any piece of media that shows an inkling of progressive themes that what else am I supposed to expect?

If anyone watches it and sees this, lemme know. Watching an Anti-Woke bullshit video with just myself is just straight up wading through the desert without proper protection. No thanks.

Anyway watch Blue Eye Samurai again. Because I know you watched it. Watch it again. And again. And when you're done, watch Arcane. Watch She-Ra. Watch Dragon Prince. Castlevania. Watch anything "woke". Consume trans-positive shows. Make all the haters and even the ones who like it but have no ounce of media literacy irrelevant. Let them dry out and die, please.

MK1 Nitara Rewritten

Maybe nsfw? Ah fuck it

I dislike MK1's Nitara, and if you're reading this, you probably do too. From her role in the story being kinda useless her design being boring as hell and Megan fucking Fox, she had big shoes to fill and her feet were just too small.

Please forget I ever said that

Point I'm trying to make is, Nitara in this game is probably the worst she's ever been in any MK media and I want to do her justice that Netherrealm Studios didn't.

Visual character design

When a character is shown on screen, the first thing people take notice of is their design. Nitara's original design was very edgy 2000s vampire lady vibes and I fuckin dig that. She was straight up a drag queen in Deadly Alliance to Armageddon

Nitara's design in MK1 is a complete and utter clusterfuck. What is this Purple dress with red accents? And don't get me started on the hair. She looks like a fucking onion or a dumpling, for crying out loud.

So instead of this complete dumpster fire, I propose a different take on her design, which could be more aligned with her original character, being a vampire and making a bit more sense with why she's working with Quan Chi.

This design I cooked up is not the greatest, and is heavenly inspired by the design that oni18064 made

The reason why I went with a pirate vampire (vampirate for short) aesthetic is because the second thing that caught my attention with Nitara in this game

Characterization

The way Nitara's written in this game is like she's a kid trying to act serious to a group of adults who try not to laugh. Her race of Vaeternian's (who may I add, deliberately made themselves into vampires) is dying out and she needs to kidnap inhabitants of other realms to breed with them. Not to eat them (maybe), but to have unconsentially fuck them to keep their race alive, and she wanted to start with Kung Lao of all people (woohoo, someone's otp mentioned!). She eventually encounters Quan Chi who does some black magic fuckery and makes her immune to sunlight and tricks her into working for him.

Other than the Quan Chi part being kinda cool, everything else a bit shit tho, innit?

How I would have done Nitara is similar to how they treated Ashrah in this game. Keeping elements of her original origin story while adding some extra elements. Nitara would have been sent to Outworld with her very own crew, provided by the vaeternus council to find a sacred jewel that could probably help Vaeternian's escape the shadows. She would sail off to Outworld, losing her crew one by one, each by worse and worse deaths. From being vaporized to eaten alive, she was the last of her crew to still live, and also found the jewel she was looking for. By the time she did find it though, her whole crew was dead. Some evaporated by the sun, some eaten alive by Tarkatans, and some just got stabbed and slashed to death by Ashrah and her kriss. It was later on a day where she met Quan Chi, who told her that he can help her escape the shadows and walk in the sun, only if she hands him the jewel. Nitara, with nothing left to lose, takes his hand and make her sunlight proof. Nitara and Quan Chi went from realm to realm to find the last few members of Quan Chi's ragtag jobbers from Ashrah's chapter and hilarity ensues.

Voice acting

We've all been there. We've all had our own rock bottom, and I think this game might be famous actress Megan Fox's rock bottom. I've seen a few movies Megan has been in, and she was pretty decent. What I interpret is either Megan didn't give a shit or NRS didn't give a shit and just told her to "read between the lines".

If I were to cast a voice for Nitara, it would either be Emma Thompson, who I personally know as captain Amelia from Treasure Planet

Or maybe even Erica Lindbeck, who was Cassie in MK11 and like a million other things

importance

Main story wise, Nitara will still be a side character, but she will be quite an important element in Ashrah's part of the story, seeing as these two had somewhat of an on-sight rivalry in the midway games. Nitara will still be helping Quan Chi and his jobber squad but she wouldn't instantly fight Ashrah... Once--

Okay but hear me out, Nitara would fight Ashrah once in the first fight (like vanilla MK1) and after that, she would use her blood magic to heal her wounds, she would fight instead of Quan Chi, who has escaped and Havik is now her kameo. As Ashrah's approaching Quan Chi to go in for the kill, she's kicked to the side by Nitara who says something like "I am not finished with you, you wannabe angel." After which they start fighting. Nitara gets a slight Power buff and gets beaten anyways. Later when she fights the linguine Lin Kuei along with the jobber squad. After that, she becomes completely useless to the plot of the main story AND Khaos Reigns.

Arcade mode ending

Nitara's ending would probably consist of her returning to Vaeternus empty-handed, making her employers furious, much like in her actual ending. But only the first half.

"That trip to Earthrealm was a complete disaster. My whole team is dead, I was bested three times and worst of all, I lost the gem I needed for my employers. Once I returned, they were pissed, to say the least. Not only throwing me in jail, but after that promoted me to death row. Not long after, when my day has come, I broke out, only to see hundreds of dead Vaeternians in the streets, and once I inspected the bodies and was shocked to see the same kind of slash marks I had when I fought... Her. That demoness is killing my kind for her own damned salvation. And what now? I do what I can to kill that Ashrah, even if it means playing both sides of the war."

I mean, if you're gonna make Ashrah the same she's been in every instalment she's been in but add new shit to make her less outdated, you might as well do the same for Nitara, her nemesis, her rival. Since every character in this game has a reason for what they're doing, like how Reiko and Shao tame Onaga because they're tired of jobbing to everyone or how Kuai Liang Scorpion started the Shirai Ryu because he has a crush on Harumi (now that I say it out loud it's kinda dumb but you can't have a good game without a little dumbassery).

Conclusion

In conclusion, Nitara is a character who has the base of something great but is wasted on this game's mid writing. Hope this helps any sad and desperate Nitara fans. Your welcome and have this as your free therapy session.

D4DJ Voice Actor's and Headcanon Voice Actors.

This will be a little different than my usual VA headcanon posts because this will actually feature both canon AND headcanon VA's from this series.

The only instance where D4DJ has been dubbed in English is the first season of the anime, which primarily featured Happy Around, Peaky P-Key and Photon Maiden, and while the other units made cameos and had voiced scenes, they didn't really get the spotlight. I wanted to include all the characters in the post though, because I very quickly fell in love with this series and the storylines, and characters sing to me, pun not intended.

So this is kind of a roundup of the voice actors of the characters in English, as well as who I think would voice the characters who DON'T appear in English. The rules are the same as ever.

The most important thing to remember is that the unnoficial VA's are NOT CANON. They are HEADCANONS ONLY. It’s just a hypothetical situation. If the characters were voiced, this is who I imagine would voice them.

Characters who are NOT official will be marked with an asterisk (*) to distinguish them from the official ones.

OMG OMG so you say actress!reader would totally be in Barbie (which I agree) but are there any other movie/TV show roles that you imagine her being a part of 👀 I know you've made up a few, but is there anything already out there that you think she'd be in? Basically I'm gonna need a fully detailed IMDb page LMAO

HAHAHAHA THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION

I could see her guest starting on some popular shows like Sex Education, White Lotus, Law & Order, Daisy Jones & The Six (she’s married to a rockstar how could she not), House of Dragon, things like that! I also see a period drama like Bridgerton, Pride & Prejudice, or something along those lines. As for movies, I totally envision like a Knives Out/Glass Onion role, Last Night in Soho, Dune, and maybe maybe some Marvel because what actors hasn’t gotten sucked into that yet tbh (love you Marvel. Do better.)

I totally see actress!reader as being A Very Serious Actor but once the kids are born, I also imagine she’d take some voice acting roles in some Disney movie or something so the kids can actually see something she’s in

Thank you for the ask!! This was a great exercise for my brain lol

legend of vox machina season 2 episode 5: pass through fire OR you are not immune to marisha ray

I knew that was zephra!

vilya! with both legs!

(voiced by korra's actress!)

baby keyleth!

(voiced by sam's daughter!)

keyleth's little ponytail

"we were made to pass through fire" cool I'm already crying

"you look more mature" "I'm going to take that as a compliment. because of how mature I am."

all those sticks fall on percy's head

keyleth thinking she's being perceived as a burden/annoyance and immediately shutting down

marisha has always described her as a gifted kid growing up into an awkward, anxious adult and this episode just REALLY highlights that

Bacon Edge

I'm SO GLAD we got this scene

roommate: why does [grog] talk like that me: he has an intelligence of 6

I like their little windbreak they made for the cave

raven mom please let him sleep

mala: how does he pee. the show has to answer this question eventually.

I fucking love grog and pike

so glad the broom isn't essentially a joke item this time

"scanlan! you're a birdie!"

"we don't have time for this" was the subtitle of the first campaign

"keyleth would drop everything to help us" and has!

"especially you" my heart

keyleth's dad has a voltron-ass design

ah yes, competent women here to save us

"we can certainly try" she said the thing

"I am VERY FLAMMABLE"

love vex's expressions when allura bamfs in

baby allura!

wasn't there someone in kraghammer that was part of their group? or am I misremembering bc I refuse to watch kraghammer again

('why won't you watch kraghammer?' that's where the onion man lives)

[seerofmike]

something im starting this year is a very self-indulgent, "my year in review" thing where i list 7 video games i enjoyed this year + 7 movies from this year that i liked because as time goes on i feel like i'm getting worse and worse at determining what i did and when i did them so this is basically just a place for me to journal the things i enjoyed this year for future reference.

all the movies are 2022 releases but since i'm hardly ever on top of current video game releases. my games list is gonna be all over the place. im mixing them up. feel free to read if you want yippee it's meant for me but since its being posted publicly ill write em all up as little recommendations. going in no particular order other than alphabetical and alternating between a movie and a video game i liked this year. also why 7 of each ? because 7 is my favorite number fuck you

The Batman

-hmmm. thoughts. congratulations to our second gay batman, robert pattinson. ok this is only half a joke. i love the riddler being a twitch streamer terrorist i like when media modernizes older characters it's funny. gotham truly felt like a shithole in this movie. soundtrack fucked. can't fight city halloween was on my spotify 100 wrapped

Inscryption (2021)

-i fucking suck at this game, i still have not beaten the trapper and as i understand theres like 2 whole other parts of the game to go or something??? so no i have not beaten it yet. but i have also sunk an unholy amount of time TRYING to beat it and i didn't get sick of it. it's a very dark but very entertaining card game and it has a free demo. even if you don't like card builder games i think you should try. it has a very unique atmosphere and premise

Bullet Train

-yes i liked the cringe brad pitt action movie. fun fact this was actually specifically tailor-made for me in a factory! it has a large cast of assholes trying to kill each other and it's funny and wacky and i love the directing. that sounds so fucking nerdy to say but i want to be a film director so im gonna say it. the directing of the action sequences especially was really impressive to me because there's only so much space/movement your camera can (believably) achieve when filming in a small, rectangular, ever-moving box like a train and i think mr david leitch did it very well. also tangerine and lemon funniest characters in an action comedy ever

Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk (2020)

-i kind of don't want to say much about this on the off chance someone reads this and also decides to play a game on this list but. listen. play it. it's like a dollar. it's very short, it's about a girl dealing with mental illness, and that's all i'll say about it.

Glass Onion

-mr benoit blanc u are so fruity. but ohg this was fun. it was fun! and it was especially more fun to rewatch it and see all that i missed and the small moments that they weren't really trying to hide from you. i enjoy the concept of being gaslit by a movie. also janelle monae is always so fun to see act

Paradise Killer (2020)

-honestly, there is so much i hate about this game. the sprites are awkward. the voice acting is bad. the platforming is abysmal. yet it's still here because i think its world is genuinely insane and unique and it knows the exact type of vibe its going for with all these terrible people in a vaporwave reality and it achieves it and also its a murder mystery and i like those. give it a try

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once

-yeah we all know her pussy slaps. there really isn't anything new for me to add. it's funny. it's got good action. michelle yeoh best actress award NOW!!!!!

Pathologic Classic HD (2015)

-yea this one is kinda cheating. i started it last year and got like 2 hours into it and gave up and then did a bunch of other things but i finally figured out how to get my controller hooked up to my laptop this year and i played it. 100%'d it. its proudly displayed on my steam profile.

look at that. awful. horrible terrible plague walking simulator 0/10 am playing again

Nope

-i love jordan peele. i love keke palmer. i love daniel kaluuya. this movie was made FOR MEEEEEEE it was very slow and tense and i know a lot of people complained about the slow pace of it but the build-up made (SPOILER) reveal all the more terrifying. speaking of terrifying, the scene where everyone (SPOILER) is the scariest thing ive seen in years and i think i have claustrophobia now :) also akira homage <3

A Short Hike (2019)

-this one was soso cute and relaxing :) it was very funny and had a cute artstyle and i beat it in like 1 hour. not a very big commitment but its charming enough to want to come back to

Puss In Boots: The Last Wish

-ummm. so. puss in boots??? that shit slapped????????? it had NO reason to be that good. like obviously the animation has been spiderverse'd which SLAPS but the they put their whole puss(y) into this movie and they didn't have to. it's good. all the characters were SO fun, literally all of them. i love the stupid little dog. he is my scrimblo. go check it out if you haven't it is NOT the soulless cash grab i thought it would be

Slime Rancher (2017)

-so like, conceptually, this game is weird as fuck. a first person shooter where you suck up little jellies and feed them and harvest their poop. its insane. its also very relaxing but also very ...management-y, like the way stardew valley is where its technically very relaxing but you are doing SO much to maximize ur profit for the day. i love that shit. look at those things. theyre adorable

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

-ohg. knumckles

SOMA (2015)

-ok so i don't actually get scared that often BUT here is a mike secret. ocean shit SCARES me i do not like anything set under the ocean and the fact that this game takes place underwater freaks me the fuck out. i dropped my 3 hour save file to switch to little baby for bitches mode after 3 hours not because the monsters themselves are scary but because emotionally i cannot handle monsters on top of a deep sea setting. also the story was really good you should play it

[honoringthehorrific]

I watched Junji Ito Maniac: Tales of the macabre and here's what I thought of each episode 2/3

Here's Part 2 to my review on Junji Ito's new netflix anime! As always Spoilers under the cut Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Review

Continuing on with what i thought of each episode...

Episode 5: Long Hair In the attic Cont. Long hair in the attic, I remember this story and it's always felt sorta...Sad to me? From the way the episode starts and we see them interact it's really depressing...She obviously cared about this man but he seems to toss her out like there's no issue at all. One thing I really noticed was how they draw blood in this one, It looks really nice. However I think Chiemi's head isn't as pretty when depicted in the anime as it was in the manga however the scraping sounds are definitely more cringe-worthy when you actually get to hear them. Episode 7: Tomb Town I believe this one is actually based on the new translation from VIZ Media, Which as of writing this isn't out yet. I haven't read an online scantlation of it but I was fairly excited to see what it was about going in! The story is actually really interesting to me? I thought it would be sort of boring but...It was really enthralling. The twist was wild to me! The use of 3D for the corpse was actually more interesting to me than the use of it for scenery like cars!

Episode 8: Layers of Fear; The Thing That Drifted Ashore A story I've not read. Surprised yet? I'm not. One thing I thought was neat was seeing the iconic layered image in the doctors office! I've seen images of this manga online. I think the concept of someone having skin line a tree or an onion is kinda cool! The image of the peel was sort of cool but at the same time the thought is painful. I remember i had skin on my foot one time that peeled up but it was so deep...It made me think of that time and it made me cringe. the image of her dragging the blade down her skin...This whole scene was vile and made my skin crawl and my stomach turn I think this was one of the best moments of the series so far. Again with the thing that drifted ashore i felt i had read this one before? However that may have just been the feeling of gyo. Another interesting thing is Tadashi is the name of the protagonist from gyo. Nothing else interested me much aside from the idea of human beings potentially being like parasites.

Episode 9: Tomie: Photo I was most ecstatic for this episode! Tomie is a special interest of mine. My wife loves Tsukiko's character so we were both highly critical coming into this episode. They were worried about Tsukiko's voice as they had seen Demon Slayer and heard her voice actress play Nezuko but we were both surprised by the deeper voice acting the actress did for the character as it was always the sort of manner we imagined the character would speak in. Another thing I'm happy about is how this series seems to be taking Tomie almost in order (Skipping the chapter Basement)! First Tomie, then Morita hospital and now we get chapter 4 Photograph! I can't help but hope for another part or even Tomie to get its own anime but for now I was thrilled with this chapter of Tomie's animated story given both My wife and I had qualms with Tsukiko's strange redesign? Her grown out buzz/pixie cut is swapped with a side swept one? As well as her eyebrows being much thicker than remembered initially... I was also mildly off put by how Tomie's voice changed between series? It's still Monica Rial but she's changed how she speaks for the character. It's deeper for some reason? Which while not a bad change still a strange one to me. One of the most disappointing changes in my wife's opinion was the lack of a willy wonka shirt. (RIP tsukiko's willy wonka t-shirt) I also kind of hated that they seemed to cut certain parts or lines? I know that they have to mind time but they miss the scuffle at the door when tsukiko goes to join her mother. They also miss getting to see tsukiko's mother's face as well as learning her father is in the military and at his post. Small details that feel..Like they just flesh out tomie's universe more. While the episode is very nearly shot for shot there's a lot that changed (To someone like me who is...a little obsessed <3) There's almost too many changes to over look.

“THE TEN GRAND”

June 22, 1944

“The Ten Grand” was an episode of radio’s Suspense broadcast on June 22, 1944. The script is by Virginia Radcliffe. It was her only Suspense script in a long radio writing career. She was best recognized for many years of writing for Cavalcade of America. This story was included in Suspense Magazine #3.

The program was produced and directed by William Spier.

Synopsis: A broke chorus girl inexplicably finds ten thousand dollars in her purse after it's been temporarily stolen on the subway. She's not sure what to do about it, and it soon leads to trouble. She has been set up.

Suspense was a radio drama series broadcast on CBS Radio from 1940 through 1962. One of the premier drama programs of the Golden Age of Radio, it was subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills" and focused on suspense thriller-type scripts, usually featuring leading Hollywood actors of the era.

The program was sponsored by Roma Wines, a Cailfornia vintage. Schenley (the makers of Roma) sponsored Suspense from December 02, 1943 to November 20, 1947. 

CAST

Lucille Ball (Gigi Lewis) had done a previous episode of Suspense in January 1944 titled “Dime a Dance”. In 1944, Ball was entering her second decade in Hollywood. Ball’s latest film, Meet The People, had been released three weeks before this radio broadcast.  Playing a down-on-her-luck chorine was not so far afield for Ball, who was just that before being hired to be a Goldwyn Girl in Hollywood. 

In the program, Gigi narrates her own story. 

Harry Lang (Wino / Axis Agent) portrayed Pancho on Mutual Radio's "The Cisco Kid". He appeared in 87 films, mostly B pictures and shorts. 

Patrick McGeehan (The Greek) was an actor and narrator who frequently was heard on radio, television, and in films. 

In the story, Gigi calls him ‘Galahad’ till he reveals his true identity. 

John McIntire (Fat Man on the Subway) is probably best remembered for playing the Sheriff in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960). From 1959 to 1965 he was a regular on TV’s “Wagon Train”. 

Jeanette Nolan (Old Lady on the Subway / Waitress) was a television, radio and film actress whose career spans over seventy years, although she is most remembered for her performances on radio. She made her film debut as Lady Macbeth in the 1948 film Macbeth starring Orson Welles, who also directed. She provided the voice of ‘Mother’ in Psycho (1960). 

Joseph Kearns (The Man in Black) briefly played banker Rudolph Atterbury on Lucille Ball’s radio show “My Favorite Husband,” until the role was assumed by Gale Gordon, an actor who would figure prominently in Kearns’ career. He did his first episode of “I Love Lucy” playing psychiatrist Tom Robinson in “The Kleptomaniac” (ILL S1;E27) in 1952. In his second “I Love Lucy” appearance, Kearns played the theatre manager in “Lucy’s Night in Town” (ILL S6;E22) in 1957. In the fall of 1959, he created the role he would be best known for - and would ultimately be his last. Mr. George Wilson on TV’s “Dennis the Menace” appearing in 96 episodes starting with the very first. When he passed away during the show’s final season, his “Our Miss Brooks” co-star Gale Gordon took over for him, playing his brother John.

THE EPISODE

As the program opens, Gigi is standing in front of Lindy’s, a coffee shop on Broadway, dreaming of “a big t-bone steak smothered in onions.” She only has five cents for the subway in her pocket. 

Ten years later, Ricky Ricardo takes everyone to Lindy’s when he hears about getting the part of Don Juan during “Ricky’s Contract” (ILL S4;E10). 

Gigi is about to reach into her purse for the nickle to board the subway, when she discovers her purse has been snatched. The thief runs away, and a handsome man pursues him, getting the purse back for her. He gallantly returns it to Gigi. The handsome man bids her goodnight, and Gigi opens her purse for the nickle only to find a wad of cash. On the subway, a fat man strikes up a conversation with Gigi, recognizing her from the purse snatching on the platform. 

Gigi gazes up at the poster for Miss Subways 1944, dreaming of furs, an apartment downtown, and expensive perfumes. She then considers that the money in her purse might well be counterfiet. 

From 1941 to 1976, the women on the Miss Subways posters that lined subway cars and represented the diversity of New York City women: they were of all ethnicities and backgrounds, college students, secretaries, aspiring actresses and singers, as well as wartime nurses.

The fat man warns her that plainclothes policemen are in the subway car, which makes Gigi nervous. When the fat man leaves the train, she takes another peek in her purse and finds a note. 

Get off at 161st Street and follow Yankee Doodle.

Gigi realizes a man has been whistling “Yankee Doodle Dandy” somewhere in the background. A nervous little old lady sits next to Gigi. She passes out!  A man gives her a swig from his bottle and she revives. The little old lady is headed for her sister’s house on 169th Street. She reveals that five years ago someone stole her life savings - about ten grand. She tells GIgi she’ll get the money back someday becuase “It takes a thief to catch a thief.”  

Gigi is suspicious that the old lady may be the brains of the operation, and asks her to whistle “Yankee Doodle”. The lady whistles it with a florish, but Gigi realizes it doesn’t help. They hear someone else whistling “Yankee Doodle.”  A man who Gigi thinks “may have a slight case of murder on his mind.”

End of Act One

On the subway platform, Gigi keeps an eye out for the handsome stranger, and an ear out for “Yankee Doodle”. A nervous Gigi realizes that someone is ahead of her and behind her. 

GIGI: “I’m the ham behind two slices of rye.” 

She then sees that a third man is following her from across the street.

GIGI: “I’m a triple-decker sandwich now!” 

Gigi realizes the two men are following Yankee Doodle, not her. To make sure her clicking heels don’t give here away, she takes her shoes off. Gigi fantasizes that maybe famous columnist Walter Winchell will be cruising the streets with the cops, getting material for his column, and making her a star by writing about her.

Walter Winchell made his radio debut on May 12, 1930 with a 15-minute feature that provided business news about Broadway. That same year he made his screen debut (based on his column) in the Warner Brothers short film The Bard of Broadway, in which he played himself.  In 1933, he appeared as himself in Broadway Thru A Keyhole (aka Walter Winchell’s Broadway Thru a Keyhole), also featuring Lucille Ball. His voice was heard in the 1949 Lucille Ball film Sorrowful Jones and on the Desilu crime series “The Untouchables” (1959-1964).

The handsome suddenly takes her aside into an alley to avoid the two men stalking them. He tells her he is a Greek working to fund his country’s resistance to the Nazis. Gigi decides to distract the two flatfoots with a flashlight. She conks the men on the head with her shoes. 

GIGI: “I broke my heel on that heel!”  

Fleeing, Gigi and the Greek take refuge in an all-night diner. They both order t-bone steaks - rare with plenty of onions. The man says the money was meant to support the Greek underground and that the two men are Axis agents. He tells Gigi she gets ten percent for her troubles but all Gigi can think about is her t-bone steak!  When the waitress returns to their table, she tells them that she forgot it was "meatless Tuesday" so there’s no steaks! 

Meatless Tuesdays was a wartime initiative to preserve meat supplies to ensure there would be enough for the armed forces.

End of Episode

After the final commercial, Lucille Ball reports that tonight she said more words per minute than any other actress on the series - but spares a few more words to give a pitch to buy War Bonds. 

Lucille Ball appeared through the courtesy of Metro Goldwyn Meyer, producers of The White Cliffs of Dover. 

The film featured future “I Love Lucy” guest star Van Johnson, Norma Varden (Mrs. Benson), and an uncredited ten-year-old Elizabeth Taylor, who later appeared as herself on “Here’s Lucy.” 

Next week Suspense presents “The Walls Came Tumbling Down” starring Keenan Wynn. 

Two years later, in 1946, the Jo Eisenger story was turned into a film by Columbia Pictures starring Lee Bowman, who played George Cugat (later renamed Cooper) in the pilot episode of Lucy’s radio sitcom “My Favorite Husband” (1948). The film also featured Moroni Olsen, who played the Judge in “The Courtroom” (1952). In 1938, Bowman was featured in Next Time I Marry with Lucille Ball.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! YES I'VE FINALLY BEAT SONIC THE HEDGEHOG AND NOW DR EGGMAN IS NO MORE WOO HOO!

But don't get me wrong. I do like Dr Eggman, because his voice made me laugh so hard.

Hello guys, this is me MaleficentFanatic1999 here.

I'm back with another movie review.

Today. The movie review I'll be doing is?

"Sonic The Hedgehog (2020)"

Awesome Movie, and it's my favorite movies of (2020)

At the beginning of this movie it has the rings on the Paramount Logo which is really cool.

Then after that. Little Sonic running and goes through the ring.

They have “Tom Wachowski” Which is a very cool character.

Then he went to the garage, and then he saw Sonic.

Dr Eggman goes to the House, and trying to look for Sonic but he failed.

Also my favorite part were

*Laughing* Sonic The Hedgehog goes out to a restaurant and he eats like “Chili Dogs” and “Onion Rings”

I've apologize for the laughing but. I really enjoyed watching this movie alot of times.

Even though I'm still not really huge fan of Hot Dogs.

If any of you guys still like Hot Dogs I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine back.

If I want to cook Chili after I get my own place or an apartment.

I'll cook some Chili Burgers, and Onion Rings.

Which those are really good food BTW?

I've also apologized for being off-topic on this post.

Then Dr Eggman just came back and tried to fight Sonic The Hedgehog like a lot of times!

Then after that he has some powers to save the the day.

I think I have a lot of positive reviews about this movie.

&

No negative reviews at all!

The music is awesome.

the sound FX is Fantastic.

Everything in this movie it was awesome.

My favorite characters of all-time is Sonic.

This movie has the best sound, best actor best actress, best background and best everything.

My top movies of 2022

I saw 95 new releases this year. Heartbreak still feels good in a place like this. The films that moved, excited, provoked, and delighted me the most:

10. BODIES BODIES BODIES: A Gen Z horror satire starring Pete Davidson on paper sounds tailor-made to annoy me, but instead the uproarious humor here camouflages the year’s most incisive countercultural commentary about victimhood and the internet.

9. TOP GUN: MAVERICK: Tom Cruise pulls 10 Gs – dayenu. But also: awe, action, aviators, and a reckoning with obsolescence. It made me cry.

8. CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH: Everybody clap your hands!

7. DECISION TO LEAVE: Fun, slippery, and finally staggering, this fusion of cat-and-mouse detective thriller, noir, romantic melodrama, and comedy keeps you guessing until it wallops you.

6. TÁR: The world’s greatest ears and what they choose to hear. Árt, rát. An exquisite, rigorous dissection of genius, power, and their discontents.

5. FIRE OF LOVE: What comes through most poignantly in this gorgeous volcanologist documentary is the resonance of the human heart with the natural world: both full of mysteries beyond our grasp.

4. HIT THE ROAD: This Iranian road trip family dramedy thrums with such authenticity as to make other movies seem false. A thing of political courage and cinematic wonder, plus the cutest kid actor in ages.

3. AFTERSUN: Loose with life but carefully calibrated, Charlotte Wells’ memory piece about a father and a daughter reaching for each other sneaks up with the force of its emotion and its formal innovation.

2. THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD: The voice of his generation, or at least a voice of a generation: Joachim Trier understands that it’s never too late to find yourself — but that if you take long enough, the costs start to pile up. There are at least two breathtaking sequences here that will stay with me forever.

1. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE: An utterly brilliant, hilarious, moving, bonkers mindfuck; a resonant exploration of regret and possibility; a cry against nihilism; an oblique response to post-truth politics and the meaninglessness-making of the pandemic years; and a million other beautiful things: The title already told you.

[ggreactionsandscenarios]

Twice reacting to their s/o dying in a sad movie they played in

Twice Reactions

Their s/o dying in the movie they played in

Nayeon

When you got eaten by the dragon Nayeon just bursted out laughing. She couldn't help it, they made you die in the most ridiculous way.

"Oh my god they did you dirty girl !"

You could pout all you want, even hit her arm if you will but she just can't stop laughing now that she saw you die like that. When she does stop though she'll try to make up for all the teasing, acting cute and pleading you not to sulk. She'll still compliment your acting, at least the part where you were still alive.

Jungyeon

You had to shake Jungyeon off her sleep when the movie ended. She fell asleep in the middle of the movie, exhausted from practice.

"What did I miss ?"

She really tried to stay awake and was sorry that she didn't success. She'll propose to watch it again but you just knew she was going to fall asleep again. However she'll watch it on her own later but would come back crying because of your death. Of course she'll pretend that she cut some onions and it wasn’t about you but you'll just know.

Sana

"At least you didn't end up with that guy. I know you died and it is sad about it but atleast you died alone."

Clearly Sana was more concerned about your love interest than your survival. Thorough all the movie she gritted her teeth and made gagging noises everytime the male lead was touching or even just talking to your character. When he died at the end she actually clapped, saying that the writer should get a promotion.

Momo

Of course Momo had to laugh when your character died. To be fair your death was indeed pretty lame but your girlfriend made fun of it for fifteen minutes before she calmed down. And that's without counting the fact that she laughed everytime you were on screen before that. Once the film was finished she took her time processing whether she liked it or not.

"Is there going to be a sequel ? It was kind of good."

Jihyo

"Why did they do that ?! There was absolutely no reason to kill you."

Jihyo was mad but more about the amount of inconsistencies in the script than the fact that you were dead. She finds the whole production shitty and is still trying to process what she just watched. She'll assure you she would've cry if she wasn't distracted by the sudden unrealistic plot twist that made you die.

Mina

“Is it finished already? Oh baby I'm so sorry you died.”

Mina really thought the whole you dying thing was a dream and that in the end you’ll wake up perfectly fine and alive. She was really surprised when it didn’t end the way she thought it would.She’ll comfort you by giving you a warm hug and a few forehead kisses.

Dahyun

When you asked Dahyun about the movie all she could do was look at you apologetically. She did not actually paid attention to the movie and you knew it. Hell she didn’t even react when you got murdered. You could hear her laugh on her own about somethings you couldn’t understand.

"I’m sorry, I was busy making voice over."

She said it in such a cute voice that you couldn’t even be mad about it.

Chaeyoung

"Well technically they could resurrect you, just saying."

Who would have thought Chaeyoung would pay that much attention to the movie. She came up with a way to make you come back from the dead using the information she got from the movie, something that even the writers didn't thought of. You assumed she liked the movie but actually her way of coping with your cinematic death.

Tzuyu

When Tzuyu didn't react, not even a slightly bit you asked her if she just didn't care that you died.

"Oh okay you died, I thought you had just left and I was wondering when you'll came back."

Your girlfriend didn't have a clue about what was going on in the movie, she was busy admiring your face on and off screen. From time to time noticing small differences here and there.

Hey, here is Twice's reaction to actress you. Give feedback -Ael

[navalcriminalimagines]

Every part of you

Joel Miller x Reader. Insecure Joel. No virus, no apocalypse. Divorced!Joel.

* * * * *

After his divorce with Sarah’s mother, Joel entered years of celibacy, except for the occasional hookups. He didn’t want to go down that road again, his marriage wasn’t the best one but he loved his wife and expected it to last forever, like they promised each other.

But things changed when he met you over a year ago.

It was one of those nights where his brother Tommy dragged him to a bar. You were there with some friends and the first thing he noticed about you was your smoking hot body. And before he knew it, Tommy brought you to their table to have a drink with them.

It was supposed to be one of those hookups. No strings attached. In the morning, he would’ve left and you probably wouldn’t have never met again.

But he broke rule number one on the first night anyway: never take someone home. He always found a way to go to his partner's place, or at least, found a place to do it, but never at his place. His home.

Until you.

Once you were done, he realized how young and innocent you looked. He could see the struggle on your face, as to whether you should leave or stay. He felt bad about himself and told you to stay. You warmly smiled and faxed yourself under the covers, your warm form curled up against him.

In the morning, he woke up to the smell of coffee and French toast. As you had breakfast together, you told him a bit about yourself and Joel found himself to be interested.

You left your phone number and two weekends later - he spends every two weekends with his daughter - Joel invited you for a drink. Which turned into a few ones. Which turned into taking you home again.

That was over a year ago. Now, you’re moving in with him.

He didn’t expect for it to happen. It’s just that when you mentioned wanting to move out from your crappy apartment, he simply told you to come live with him and Sarah. His teenage daughter is very fond of you, and Joel is deeply in love with you. There’s no reason this could go wrong, is there?

But somehow, it caused your first fight.

It was hard to fit two homes into one, and Joel wasn’t compromising at all. He didn’t want to get rid of anything.

“You have to meet halfway, Jo.” You told him, clearly annoyed.

“I am. I just don’t want to get rid of my couch. What’s wrong with that?”

“Well, for starters, mine is fairly new, bigger and way more comfortable. But it’s not just about the couch. It feels like you don’t want me to move in after all,” you said with such sadness in your voice, Joel felt horrible.

“I asked, didn't I?” He answered, defensively.

“Probably because you felt bad about my struggle to find a new place. Just like you felt bad after our first night together.”

“…What?”

“I’m not stupid, Joel. I know you didn’t want me to stay at first.”

“But you did.”

“Well, yeah. Because it was my first time hooking up with someone I just met. And—“ you took a deep breath. “I really don’t want to compliment you right now, but the sex was—mind blowing.”

You obviously were still pretty mad but Joel couldn’t help but smirk in his beard. Sex with you is indeed pretty mind blowing. There’s love, trust, passion, and you’re open-minded concerning his kinks. He never witnessed that before. Actually, he discovered new kinks with you, pretty much like if you were his very own kink.

“Take that smirk off your face. That’s unfair.” You breathed out.

Joel closed the distance between your bodies, and gently kissed your forehead. “Letting you stay that night was the best decision I’ve made in a very long time,” he kissed your nose. “I’ll get rid of the couch.” Then he kissed your lips and moved to your neck. “Let’s ruin it before.”

You chuckled and you did ruin his old couch.

A few weeks later, you were all moved in. Joel was exhausted, he fell asleep on your - extremely - comfortable couch. You covered him with a blanket and took care of the last details before cooking dinner.

Your parents had been owners of a restaurant for the past thirty years, your father being the chef and your mother doing pretty much the rest. You spent most of your time in the establishment as a child, and your father happily shared his know-how with you.

In the past year, Joel had barely spent time in the kitchen, as it became your space. Not that he minded.

He does mind the weight he’d been gaining though.

He woke up to the smell of one of your dishes, two hours after falling asleep. He could hear you doing your thing in the kitchen. He smiled, stretched himself and when his mind seemed awake enough, he joined you.

You felt his strong arms wrapping your middle, and took advantage of your messy bun to plant wet and sloppy kisses in your exposed neck. You felt shivers all the way through your body. “Hi handsome. Sleep well on the couch?”

“Bite me.” He growled against your skin and you chuckled.

“Did that last night.” You said, referring to the bite mark you left right on top of his shoulder. He had made you cum so hard, you didn’t control yourself.

“I love when you mark me.” He whispered in your ear, nipping your ear lobe.

“Good, I’m taking you for a scarification tomorrow. My name, right above your penis.”

“Hmm,” Joel was still planting kisses anywhere he could and you could feel his growing erection against your ass. It was getting really difficult to focus on the marinade in front of you. “I can meet you halfway and agree to get a tattoo.” You laughed but somehow imagined it. It would ruin any relationship for him if you two ever break up. “Only if you do the same, obviously.” He added.

“You would like that, wouldn’t you?”

He hummed in answer and you felt his hand playing with the waistband of your sweatpants. But you slapped his hand away before he could slide it in. “Put your hands to other use for now. Cut the onions for me,” you playfully rubbed your ass against his crotch but only to push him away.

Joel let go of you and looked around to find the onions. “Wow. I like punishment but only if I know what I did wrong.”

You laughed before throwing two onions at him, which he almost missed. As he began to peel them off, you gently grabbed the knife from his hands and squeezed a lemon on the blade. Joel looked at you, lovingly. “There. You won’t cry.” You said, handing him the knife.

“Huh, we’ve been dating for a year and you’re only telling this trick, now? I thought you loved me.” He used his best complaining voice, and he felt your hand slamming against his ass.

“What will we talk about in ten years if I tell you everything now?” You casually asked and it caught Joel off guard. He stayed silent while cutting the onions in small squares and you didn’t push it. You focused on your marinade and checked on the steamed vegetables.

“Are you picturing us still together in ten years?” He finally asked once he was done. He gave you the bowl with the onions in it.

“Well—yeah. Don’t you?” You took the bowl from his hand, preparing the pan in order to cook them.

Joel sighed. It had been a struggle since you two started to date. Your relationship had been so perfect, you had been an amazing partner, it almost feels surreal to me. “I guess my marriage broke a part of me.” He paused, staring at you cooking. “It’s like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.”

As you ditched the onions in a hot pan, a soft smile appeared across your face. “That will happen when your alien friends will come to pick you up, in order to bring you back to your home planet.”

Joel couldn’t help but laugh. He couldn’t believe you were real. He stared for a moment. You are so beautiful, young, funny and smart, with the biggest heart. How did he got so lucky?

He jumped on the part of the kitchen plan you weren’t using. “Or when I got so fat from your cooking, you’re not attracted to me anymore.” He finally said and you stopped everything you were doing.

“…what?”

“I gained a few pounds lately.” He confessed, avoiding your eyes this time.

“Yeah so?”

“Oh so you’re agreeing? Not even something like ‘honey that’s crazy, you haven’t changed a bit.’?”

"I'm sorry. Let me do this again.” You took a step back and got into character. “Joel! Are you crazy? You didn’t gain any pounds. Are those masculine magazines making you feel bad, again?”

“Wow. Don’t quit your day job to become an actress.”

You playfully punched his shoulder and he let out an “ouch!”. “But seriously love,” it was your loving and smoothing tone again. “Do you really feel bad about this?”

“Kinda. I’m already older than you, I can’t have that too.”

“Baby,” you settled between his legs and tiptoed to kiss him softly. “You’re perfect to me. I don’t care about your age, your weight, your height, the size of your—okay that, I do care but still.”

Never a woman made him laugh like you manage to. No matter the subject, the time of the day, his mood or your mood, you’re always able to bring a smile to his face. He’s so in love with you. “Do you get my point or do I have to take you upstairs to show it to you?” You stroked his beard and Joel leaned into your touch, humming in content.

“I won’t mind the show. But I’d rather have you showing me—here.”

“I better stop cooking and focus on my other hobby then.” You turned off everything and invited him to get down. “My favorite actually.” You whispered, before kissing him gently.

“Please do.” He pleaded, sticking out his tongue in order to meet yours.

As you kissed, you brought him against the wall of the kitchen. He moaned at your sudden dominance, and you felt his semi hard cock against your belly. Joel tried to travel under your tank top with his hands but you prevented him access. You quickly worked taking his tee-shirt off, throwing it on the floor. Your lips immediately crashed against his hairy chest, while your hands were softly caressing it. “I love you, Joel.” you whispered against his skin. “I love every part of you that you don’t.”

It was overwhelming. Never in his life has Joel felt this loved, this attractive. It was such a mix of feelings, he could have cried on the spot as well as fucked you senseless. But he only stood there, panting hard as you were taking his sweatpants and briefs off. He stepped out and you threw it away, next to his shirt. He was dying to undress you, to feel your smooth skin against his, but he knew better.

You kneeled in front of you, taking his hard member in your hand. You looked up to him with your big and loving E/C eyes. “You’re everything I’ve ever dreamt of,” you said. “Call me crazy but I’d follow you to your damn home planet.” you confess, referring to what you said a moment ago.

Joel intensely stared at your mouth when you gave him a first lick. This view was so damn perfect.

You teasingly played with your tongue against his cock before taking him in your mouth. Joel moaned, deeply and you sucked him for a moment, not taking all of his length yet. Your jaw needed to relax first. No matter the amount of time you’ve seen his cock, you’re always amazed about how thick and long he is.

Joel’s hand grabbed your hair bun into his fists, guiding you. When you were ready, you took all of him inside your mouth, your nose buried in his pubic hair. “Fuck, baby!” he growled as his cock hit the back of your throat. “God I love your mouth so much.”

You kept going for a moment until you felt his urge growing. Joel was basically facefucking you, thrusting his cock deep inside your mouth. But you weren’t done with him yet, so when only a trail of saliva was connecting you to his length, you took advantage and got back on your feet.

You passionately kissed him, allowing him to taste himself. “Sit on the chair.” You ordered him and Joel obeyed.

You striped in front of him as he was lazily stroking his painfully hard cock. “You’re fucking gorgeous, Y/N.” he said before you straddle his lap.

“So are you, Joel.” He almost didn’t catch that - maybe because a part of him didn’t want to - as you guided his cock into your wet cunt. He was stretching you open, it almost hurt but you kept going until he was fully inside you.

“So fucking tight.” he growled against your neck.

You settled for a slow pace at first. Joel’s face was buried in your chest, assaulting your rounded breasts. One of his hands was in the small of your back, following your hips movements. “You feel so good inside me.” you moaned, your hands buried in his hair. He was so deep inside you, you two almost could hear every time he reached your end. “I’ll never be able to be with anyone else but you.”

His urge was coming back and yours was building up. You quickened the pace, and Joel furiously rubbed your clit with his hand. “Yes Joel, right there!” he looked up at you and crashed his lips on yours. You could feel his fingers digging on your hip, while yours did the same on his scalp.

“I’m gonna cum.” he warned you, thrusting as fast as he could.

“Me, too. Don’t stop,”

“Never.”

It was a closed call but you came practically at the same time, both crying each other’s name.

You stayed in the same position as you and Joel came down from your high. You held him close against you, feeling his cock softening inside you. You were both panting. “Every part of me, huh?” he said.

“Every single one.”

Personality:

Yoshi is quite flirtatious, using her looks to get what she wants. However, behind that mask, she is mostly very shy and sweet unless you make her mad and then she’ll go wild. Her flirting is mostly done to mess with the boys. (Very flirty women are seen as an evil thing in Earth, but Yoshi doesn’t care.)

She has a huge inferiority complex due to being discriminated for not having magic, never finding her definitive lover or being overshadowed by her older brother despite caring for him. This is also hidden under her flirty mask (and her lunacy). Yoshi would relieve anger by hitting the furniture until she got hired at the Meido Beats maid cafe and earned a karaoke machine, where she would sing brutal metal songs and scream her anger away. Do not underestimate her sweet feelings, Yoshi can brutally tear anyone up when she gets mad and the results can be shocking. (Of course, she can be quite bitter)

Over time, it seems she has taken a liking to fighting. As the seasons go by, she becomes more cruel and powerful. Her sanity chips away slowly after all she has seen and done. (Remember, this version of Twst is a psychological horror and the main character will always endure this instead)

Cool Facts

Her father is a fencer and her mother is a criminal profiler. Her brother is a guitarist and he also does weed (in a world where weed in Texas is now legal)

By pure coincidence, she is like Oswald, her brother Mickey, and her parents Arthur and Alice respectively

After a concert by her brother, she and her mom tried to find a restaurant and ended up at a taco bar, where she tried the cheese quesadillas and has loved them ever since

While eating cheeseburger sliders with small pieces of onion, her allergies (she was sick at the time) somehow got worse and blamed the onions for flaring up her throat

Her father is from the United Kingdom while her mother is a Texas native (more about her family coming soon!)

Yoshi is a great writer and has written essays that exceed the preferred word count

She looks graceful, but she loves rock and metal music. Her parents always played this kind of music when she was little

Yoshi likes to experiment with her fashion, one day they’ll have a suit and the other a dress. It really depends on which one wants the spotlight!

Grim is their prized fur baby (hey it’s better than calling him a cat)

Influences: Bayonetta (Bayonetta), Oscar François de Jarjayes (Rose of Versailles), Haruhi Fujioka (OHSHC), Ran Mao (Black Butler)
