Rosquez horror mermaid AU snippet :)

They lie - as they do every night - entangled together in Valentino’s canopy-bed. Valentino had made Marc get a bath earlier, to warm his skin. Marc is just too cold to the touch, otherwise.  

Valentino’s head is on Marc’s chest, he listens to the syncopated slow rhythm of Marc's hearts. He counts the seconds between tumps, first one, then the other. Marc wraps an arm around him, holds Valentino close. He absentmindedly cards a hand through Valentino’s hair, coils soft curls around his fingertips as he breathes in Vale’s scent. 

Marc inhales deeply, Valentino floats with the movement. He croons softly - places his teeth around Marc’s collarbone, latches on tenderly. He imagines Marc is like an anglerfish, a benthic creature luring - dragging - Vale down deeper and deeper. Marc had gotten to him like a riptide. 

Marc places his hand under Valentino’s chin and pulls him up, gently, into a kiss. Valentino focuses on the scrape of Marc’s knifelike nails near his throat. He runs his tongue along Marc’s dentition and feels the sting.   

“Marc,” he tries to sound calm, composed, but it comes out apprehensive. “Have you ever eaten a person?” 

Marc lets out a breathless laugh, like the question is completely absurd. Because it is.

Marc smiles at his swain, warmly - and Valentino is doing that thing again, were he tries to count all of Marc's teeth 

“Vale, my sweet, of course I have.” 

Like an anchor, Valentino’s heart sinks in his chest. 

“I am a mermaid after all.”

Jaune: *pacing back and forth*

Writer: *scared* Um.

Jaune: Let me ask you something. Do you get off on me suffering?

Writer: What? No. No. No, we don’t.

Jaune: Really? S-so—so w-w-why have me kill Penny? Like I really could have saved her. I really could have healed her. Like what are we doing? But no, I listened to a girl who had a human body for the first time and was having a dying experience which she probably wasn’t thinking straight.

Writer: …. ….

Jaune: Then I don’t even mention her and Ruby was going through it, acting like she killed her.

Writer: I mean she technically did kill her.

Jaune: Why didn’t you let Ruby do it then? Why did I have to go through all that crap?

Writer: Jaune your a knight.

Jaune: I also had a rabbit hoody. Plus didn’t Ruby pick a knight piece? She is TECHNICALLY a knight. You all could have had me as the late bunny.

Writer: How does that fit into your character?

Jaune: Hm. Beacon wasn’t I late to save Pyrrha? Mistral, wasn’t I think irrationally to where Weiss almost died. Argus, I was close to getting my friends killed because I was lack of leadership skills.

Writer: …. ….

Jaune: The heir always arrives late because he neglects his responsibility and doesn’t do his job. Haven’t I been neglecting some of my duties to almost where no one has complete faith in me?

Writer: …. …

Jaune: Plus, again, Ruby has silver eyes. She could have been training with those and her scythe skills. You can also determine what age you want her to be.

Writer: Okay Jaune chill. We just thought it was best for your character.

Jaune: So having me go back in time. I was stuck in the Ever After for years and couldn’t find a home until RWBY was there. Letting me get poisoned by Alyx. And getting no kind of skill set was good. Isn’t my character all about growth and change? So why does it feel like I haven’t changed? I’m back to square one again.

Writer: Yeah…

Jaune: y'all come on. First, you had Tyrian having some interest in me which might as well be a prison joke right now. Then you had Vine say something about extending my aura which is irrelevant considering y'all wanted Ren to have attention. Y'all had Harriet grieving over Clover which I could have been related to her on, you know, because I lost Pyrrha. And I let Emerald join my team because Oscar says so. There was a lot of shit I could have done. But no, killing Penny was important.

Writer: …

Jaune: Ya’ll had Ruby and Salem in the same kingdom, Salem drops the Summer bomb, and instead of having Ruby figure that shit out by seeing her you had her sidelined.

Writer: She was protecting Nora and Penny.

Jaune: She could have left and gone help in the war. Silver-eyed warrior timing and left Weiss in charge. Don't give me that shit.

Writer: Okay but -

Jaune: Back to what's important, why was James her highest priority over Salem? I mean at least he was protecting his citizens. Salem was trying to kill everybody. How was she not Ruby's target? Why didn't you leave James to me? That would have hyped up Penny’s death way better if you wanted me to kill her!

Writer: You wouldn't stand a chance against James?

Jaune: I almost outsmarted the Atlas military with my plan.

Writer: James is stronger and smarter than you. You are no fighter

Jaune: Exactly fighting for me is the last resort. I am a strategist! Not an all-out fighter! My job is to adapt to situations and operate within the chaos!

Writer: … I mean-

Jaune: I also have emotional intelligence. And I’m not stupid. Are you telling me I wouldn't see through or question some of James’s actions if given a chance?

Writer: Well Ruby was trapped in an electric barrier.

Jaune: Gravity shield. So Nora didn't need to be absent in the fight.

Writer: Shit.

Jaune: Let's go to the Ever After.

Writer: Come on man. If it wasn't for you team RWBY wouldn't have made it out. Also, you were going through the worst.

Jaune: F team Rwby.

Writer: What could you have done better than Ruby?

Jaune: The same shit but better. I would have traded my armor for Yang’s arm. My sword for an audience with the Red King. Pyrrha scarf for the antidote. All are a part of my identity. Not to mention while having my friend's gun on me which she rejected after keeping it safe and not destroying it.

Writer: …

Jaune: Alyx’s dagger, I could have used it by probably seeing her memories and figuring out what happened to her and how to get home. And, mainly, as a means of self-defense.

Writer: But Yang, Blake, and Weiss-

Jaune: Speaking of them why did they prioritize me over Ruby? And why did Ruby need help from a god when her issues were minor compared to mine? I mean even if she spent years alone, talking with her team would have been enough for her. And probably for the best considering Ruby is her team's sister, friend, and leader.

Writer: … …

Jaune: Like seriously, I was messed up mentally. Penny whose death I might as well be keeping a secret, from everybody. I mean if you killed one of your allies to save the world, wouldn’t you feel morally messed up? Meanwhile, my team was nowhere on site. I don't know Weiss, Blake, and Yang like that, so opening up to either of them would have been a challenge. Especially Ruby. Not to forget but my friends were in a whole different kingdom by themselves and I don't know what happened to them. They could've been dead for all I knew. So my worries would have been expeditiously high!

Writer: Oh God.

Jaune: And since we are on Penny, what happened to her body?!

Writer: … … We don't need to discuss that.

Jaune: Funny, because of the way the Jabberwocky was looking at Ruby I can make a guess what happened to her.

Writer: Please don't.

Jaune: Then we have the Cat, my enemy and opposite to my personality., He manipulates my friends and controls them like puppets. Neo would have had a field day with me too. After all, Pyrrha died because I couldn't stop her. Penny died because I had zero options to save her. Ozpin died because I failed to do my job. Ironwood died because of me and Ruby. And Harriet told me about Clover so I know he’s dead.

Writer: …

Jaune: And after all that bullshit you just gave us nothing. No new looks. Now new weapons I could have used. We might as well have been through a filler arc. Oh, and you know what, you could have finally given me a backstory. Something that finally ties my character together.

Writer: *tears falling* Jaune, please.

Jaune: *weapon drawn* You f*** with me for the last time. Now. DIE!

Chopper, Steven, and Orihime: No!

Orihime: Shoten kessun I reject.

Writer: *protected*

Chopper: *Goes Arm point and restrains Jaune*

Steven: *Traps them both in a bubble*

Windy: Jaune please calm down.

Jaune: Nah I'm killing them. They got me f*** up.

Steven: We’re really going to need therapy for you buddy.

Jaune: I don't need therapy, I want them dead.

Sakura: Chopper.

Chopper: Come, buddy. They are not worth it.

Jaune: Let me at least punch them.*screams in rage*

Sakura: *stares at the new staff*

Viz media writer: …

Sakura: Look just go easy on him. Please? Just let him be useful in other areas. Don't give him more trauma.

Viz media writer: You must know how he feels.

Sakura: Yes. Yes, I do.

Steven: And so do I.

BakuSquad’s Boy Part 1

A/N: Based on a fic that doesn’t exist anymore :( I’ll be adding my own head canons from what i remember of the og fic. This whole thing is in a headcanon format :)))

Kirishima was sitting down when he noticed their new transfer student walking into the cafeteria looking lost. Without thinking twice he quickly caught the attention of the male and motioned him to come over.

“Is it okay if I join you?” you asked, recognizing the spiky haired student as your classmate.

“Of course, let me introduce you to everybody!”

The redhead introduced all the guys sitting at the table. The talkative blonde with the lightning bolt in his hair was Kaminari . The smiling black haired boy with oddly shaped elbows was Sero and the angry-faced pale blonde with red eyes was Bakugo. While the rest smiled at you he merely sneered and ignored you.

“Don’t let him bother you too much, he's a grouch!” Kirishima said smiling.

The entire lunch period was spent talking to the Bakusquad and explaining how you transferred from the hero school in your home country and enrolled at UA. Laughing with them and bonding over memes and hero training.

It didn’t take long for you to become part of the friend group.

Y’all are a chaotic group of motherfuckers

The group chat is mess; Bakugo is trying to help people w homework, Zero is constantly sharing tick tocks and at 2 am Denki will spam it with memes ( which pisses Bakugo off bc it wakes him up when he forgets to mute his notifications)

Y’all will study together, which surprisingly, can be super productive sometimes.

It honestly didn’t take very long for you guys to become inseparable. They have you back and you have theirs. Training and working out together is a plus because sometimes y’all are too busy to actually fully hangout.

Kirishima will compliment you in a “manly” way and will totally be your hype man. Will be ecstatic when you give back the same energy. One time Bakugo joined you guys for his morning workout and his jaw almost fell to the ground when he saw you take your shirt off.  He couldn’t help but stare like holy shit you were ripped. Training with Kiri really did pay off. Bakugo smirked to himself when he noticed his red haired friend was also checking you out when you didn’t notice. 

Going to the mall with Sero and Denki is a whole ass ride. Y’all will go to so many stores and either waste all your money or just fuck around. Hot Topic is definitely a favorite of theirs. They don’t care if it’s not your vibe because they will want to deck you out in the fitting rooms to see what you look like. Once they pushed the curtain before you were done changing your shirt and both pairs of eyes went straight to your body, making you blush.

After being friends for so long the Bakusquad could read each other's emotions and all recognized that they had crushes on you. They talked about it and concluded that this would by no means would get between their friendship but would amicably flirt with you.

They organized a sleepover not too long after. But it was basically them all fighting each other about who’s room they would be staying in. Ended up going to Bakugo’s room because it was the closest for most of them. When you got there you were so caught up with the movie that you didn't realize they were low-key fighting each other for a spot next to you/ touching you in general. It was when y’all were going to sleep when you realized you left your sheets and what not in your room. Bakugo without missing a beat said you could sleep with him which then prompted Denki to tell you that ���Bakugo’s feet smell like shit you don't wanna sleep with him” for Kiri to go “ Hey that isn’t manly, you should sleep w me Y/N.”. While the three of them were battling it out you and Sero were just sitting crouched in the corner. “I mean Y/N I could always get sheets and stuff from my rooms ‘cause it's not that far from here.” only for Bakugo to throw a pillow straight in his face yelling “Shut it Soy-Sauce face!!” Yeah they felt really bad in the morning when you ended up sleeping on the floor with nothing covering you.

Sero will want to smoke with you. The first time he smoked with you, you ended up having a panic attack and he felt responsible for making you panic and so anxious. He tries to smoke by himself for the meanwhile until you convince him to let you try again. It goes much better this time. Y’all start vibing to his latin playlist and he tries to teach you but y’all just end up stumbling over each other and constantly laughing. When dancing becomes physically exhausted and watches tick tocks and videos on his phone. Which ends up with y’all crying over the video where the racoon tries to wash his cotton candy but it dissolves. At some point the tears become too much and you both reach for each other which ends up with y'all sobbing and cuddling each other. Y’all fell asleep like this :)

The whole squad smokes at one point or another. Kirishima does it whenever he’s just in the mood to hangout and he uber chills. Bakugo does it to relieve stress and just enjoy life a bit. Denki smokes the 2nd most in the group just whenever he needs to kill time or he wants to vibe.

There will be times when y'all will smoke together and just fuck shit up. Like, one night after exam y’all are smoking but shit starts getting wild. Like y'all are hopping off the walls and dancing around to random music. Denki will find a roach that's stuck on its back and trying to get back off its legs but y’all are dancing all around it thinking it's like break dancing. “ AYYYY FUCK IT UP” Bakugo would yell “GET INTO IT” Sero would then yell. One of y’all took a video and accidentally posted it on Snapchat so the next day Mina would ask like wth happened last night bc y’alls tik toks and snapchats were wack af. Sero would probably speak on behalf of the group and say “ We were just really hyper.

When they all become hyper aware of their feelings not only for you but like low-key for each other they all change a lil bit. Like:

Denki stops flirting with people outside of the Baku Squad. He’s more touchy with y’all. Holding onto arms, arms over shoulders, hands on waists, holding hands, sitting in y’alls laps (this is a big one)

Kirishima has more energy when he’s with you guys. Like he could be running lower on battery than normal but one of y'all just comes up to him and he lights up like a light bulb.

Bakugo stops ruining desks and promptly yelling at people. He’s toned down and becomes a bit more chilled out. Mostly when he's with you guys. He is still a grumpy gremlin when he is with people who aren’t the Baku Squad.

Sero actually hides it pretty well and no one notices and changes that are indicative of a crush. Probably a bit more confident in himself

Kirishima and Denki acting like they haven't seen each other in sages when it really has only been like five minutes.

“ OMG BRO IT'S BEEN FOREVER”

“OMG DENKI MY MAN I MISSED YOU SM!”

“ BRO C’MERE AND PLANT A PHAT ONE ON ME!”

“HELL YA MY DUDE, THIS IS GONNA BE MANLY.”

And then proceed to aggressively walk toward each other, slap each others asses and plant a kiss on each other's cheeks before erupting into a huge fit of laughter. While people around them are just like ‘wtf is going on’

Touching becomes a thing.

Y’all will actively find each other when y'all want a hug or cuddles or smth. Forehead and cheek kisses are a thing. Bakugo takes much longer to warm up to everyone starting really with you and Kirishima. most comfortable holding y’alls hands loosely and rubbing your knuckles. Denki probably does this the most. He lives for physical affection, just give this poor boy his much needed cuddles and kithes.

Despite y’all high-key crushing for each other you all still are absolutely focused on your career paths as heros. Bakugo helping teach english and you trying to help ( if you know english well enough to teach )

“Ok idiots for the last time what word do we use to describe Sarah?”

“I mean she took these poor dudes apples and all of these are positive adjectives...i think.”

“Yeah Sarah’s kind of a bitch.”

“SHUT IT YOU TOO AND ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!”

“I mean Bakubro they aren’t wrong...”

“NOT YOU TOO KIRI!”

You guys work so well during team vs fights bc of how well you all know each other.

It’s an absolute mess but y’all love eachother <3

I will be making a part 2 ( + 3 i think ) so hang around for more :)

MASTERLIST

[contradictions-of-iron-and-lace]

So on my old blog, I would occasionally give my unsolicited thoughts and opinions on shows or movies (usually ones that either had a lot of hype or were just straight up bad). I just watched "365 Dni" aka "365 Days" because I had a couple hours to kill so be prepared for mental spewage because it's my blog and I do what I want.

Wait I thought this was a romantic thriller. They're talking about human trafficking. This is already gross.

Michele Morrone is very good looking though and I've been obsessed with his face for the last few weeks.

This whole conversation about these girls getting trafficked is gross.

Yes. Let's be extra pervy during a pervy business meeting and check out the girl on the beach with our binoculars.

Hold up. Why did they get shot?

I don't know what's going on. Freaking Italian mob, man.

This song about being addicted to someone that's playing while people are bleeding out on the ground seems tonally inappropriate.

So far we've seen Italy, San Francisco, and Warsaw. I didn't know we were globetrotting.

And we switched from Italian to Polish to English. Sure.

Yeah. Michele Morrone could get it. Also he survived being shot.

Is that the same girl from the beach? Probably. Why not.

They do a lot of spinning shots and it's making me dizzy.

So far this is a very expensive foreign Lifetime movie.

Yes. Because everyone takes boob shots in the back of their Uber while sober.

Homegirl's boyfriend looks like they picked him out of a burly henchman catalogue.

Yup. Michele Morrone is stupid hot. Even just sitting down he's hot.

Oh good. We've transitioned from potential human trafficking to cocaine.

Well damn. This is fairly explicit for a "mainstream" film.

Cool. I share a name with the female lead.

Still don't know the male lead's name yet.

Everybody in this movie is either stupid hot or stupid ugly. There is no middle ground.

Yes, Michele. Creeping up on this girl on a darkly lit path saying "Are you lost, little girl?" is definitely going to win you all the points.

I don't understand why writers insist on putting powerful women with schlubby dudes. It's tired and cliched and inevitably leads to annoying arguments.

Yes. Let's wander around Sicily at night all alone. That's totally safe.

And my point is proven.

I hope if I ever get kidnapped and holed up in some random ass castle in Sicily my makeup looks as good as Laura's.

So this just turned into a horror movie.

Called it about Laura being the girl on the beach.

Yeah, that's not creepy at all, dude. Let's obsess over a girl we might have hallucinated for five years and then kidnap her and give her a year to fall in love with you. Solid plan.

This is literally making my skin crawl.

Ah yes. "I won't do anything without your permission" he says as he literally grabs and sexually assaults her.

So basically this is trying to be "erotic thriller, Beauty and the Beast style".

Her pulling a gun on him has been the best thing so far.

I'm so confuuuuuused.

That's nothing new though. I live in a state of perpetual confusion.

Why the hell is there a man chained to a rock in this dude's basement.

I have many concerns.

Also his name is Massimo so that's good to know.

Besides the man chained in his basement his house is pretty cool.

Just kidding the man is no longer chained in the basement since he now has a bullet in his head.

I'm only 30 minutes in and this has been a wild ride.

"I'm not a bag of potatoes you can move without my permission!" is very Polish and as somebody who's family is Polish I'm living for it.

I'm going to need him to stop laying hands on her.

Whoever chose the music made some odd choices.

He keeps watching her sleep and it's creepy.

And there he goes grabbing her again.

I do like that she's giving him a lot of attitude and isn't putting up with his shit but you know that's going to change 🙄

Yes. Go spend all his money, honey.

He is disrespectful as hell.

I don't care how hot he is, he's creepy and abusive and I don't like it.

"I am not the monster you think I am." You would be incorrect, my dude.

Like, she went on vacation with her boyfriend and friends, and I can't for the life of me figure out why they aren't looking for her unless they explained it and I missed it.

Pierogi. The most romantic of Polish foods.

"I do business." He's a drug trafficker, honey. Run away. Run far, far away.

Honestly I would turn this off if I wasn't so far in it already.

I feel like I have to see this trainwreck through to the end.

"I would like you to show me how to be gentle for you" would be more appealing if HE LITERALLY HAD NOT KIDNAPPED, ABUSED, AND ASSAULTED HER.

Ew. Did he sneak in her bed while she slept?

One good dinner and now she's all "let's gently touch him in bed and take a shower in front of him" 🙄

Why is this bathroom set up like a communal shower? It's weird.

Although to be fair if he hopped in the shower with me I'd check him out too 🤷

They tied her to the seat in the plane. What the hell.

I'm so uncomfortable.

Ugh. Why. Why is this a thing.

So far this has been creepier than 50 Shades and 50 Shades is creepy as hell.

Hold on. I thought they were at a hotel. Why does he have a giant ass portrait of himself hanging up in his room?

I. Am. Uncomfortable.

Oh man. He has a nice butt.

Don't get distracted by the pretty man, Laura.

Onscreen Laura too.

He asked her to teach him how to be gentle, then handcuffs her to the bed and makes her watch while he hooks up with another woman.

Yup. Doing a great job there, Massimo.

Cool I'm back to being confused.

She can't walk in her heels and I'm dying laughing. Same, girl, same.

"What are you wearing?" "A couple thousand euro of yours." GET HIM.

Now we've entered the Scarface phase of the movie because there was just a copious amount of cocaine snorted.

Where did he pull two guns from??

So I don't know how long she's been with him at this point. I feel like that's something that needs to be clarified.

And she fell off the boat.

Of course she did.

Oh man. Why's he gotta be so cute with his fluffy curls and stubble and tattoos?

Also I'm pretty sure he only owns like two shirts because he's walked around shirtless for most of this movie.

We are now in the part of the movie where we've screamed awful things at each other and now we're going to bone it out.

All over the boat. Like every surface of the boat they have now banged on.

If y'all were dissatisfied with the raunchiness of the 50 Shades series, this is the movie for you because it far surpasses that.

Of course they're going to a ball. They always do in these rich people movies.

Makeover montage because why not.

Oh no. He's hot in a tux.

It always cracks me up in movies when people just automatically know how to ballroom dance like professionals without any training.

Every time I think this movie can't get more cliched, it does.

Why do I do this to myself? Why do I subject myself to bad movies?

I take it back. I know why I did it this time. The reason is 6'2" and looks damn good in a button up shirt.

"I thought you were kidnapped!" She was. You were a good friend for thinking that.

The switching between languages is giving me whiplash. It's very jarring going from Italian to Polish to English to Polish to Italian.

Her friend seeing through her bullshit is giving me life.

Also loving the fact that she's acknowledging she has Stockholm Syndrome. But because it's a movie it won't change anything.

Another makeover montage? So soon?

Also her friend keeps calling Massimo Mozzarella and it's hilarious.

That wig looks like it's about to crawl off her head.

Of course the ex shows up.

Honestly just knee him in the nuts and be done with it.

Why does Massimo think it's okay to break into her apartment and wait in the dark for her?

I don't know who thought using a blue light for her apartment was a good idea but it just looks like they're in a giant tanning booth.

"I don't need 365 days... Because I love you." GIRL NO.

I mean it was inevitable but it's still gross.

Yup. That's normal. Let's marry our kidnapper.

I want to snatch that wig off her head.

"What are your intentions with our daughter?" You don't want to know what his intentions are with your daughter, sir.

I will say that I love all her clothes in this movie.

Also she's pregnant. Calling it right now.

Called it.

Also good to know they've only known each other two months and they're going to get married and have a baby 👀

Her best friend is my favorite character and is the only likeable person in this whole movie.

Plot twist. Shocker.

This is so dramatic.

I will give them credit for the ending because that was unexpected.

In summary, this movie is trash and while the "love" scenes are pretty hot, it's not worth the time or effort that I clearly put into this.

25 reasons to love Michelle Jones

1. She has no filter and deadpans. If you like Tony Stark, real bold of you to have a problem with this specific trait of hers

2. She doesn’t have any friends. Hardly gets more relatable

3. She is so observant that she knows Peter is Spider-Man. While nobody has it figured out. Not even Ned had it figured out. And yet she also says nothing. A clever and caring woman

4. She loves reading so much that she does it during PE class. Aren’t you lowkey a nerd who’d rather be reading than running laps at the gym? So is she

5. She doesn’t read just any books. 'Of Human Bondage' is about an orphan who has to live with his aunt and uncle and also falls in love with a girl that doesn’t always reciprocate his feelings. Reminds you of someone? Then later in the bus: ‘Invitation to a beholden’, is the story of a man who gets imprisoned and is unable to blend in the society he lives in because he is gnostic. So 1. She wants to know how Peter feels 2. She doesn’t feel like she blends in the society she lives in

6. “Am I?”. Think about it. Is she?

7. Her looks say “screw your idea of what is "well dressed” and pretty". She will look however tf she wants. No makeup at 15 yo is absolute realistic even if society stays lowering the age at which you should start looking like a doll

8. Her purple hair streak. Why purple? Is it her favorite color? Does it mean something specific to her? Was it an attempt from her to get noticed by her classmates without it being too obvious?

9. She wanted to/did some light protesting in front of one of the embassies in DC. At 15 yo. Jot it down

10. She made the acadec team win the competition. We don’t see her answer questions be it at school or during the trip but clearly she has the brains to be successful by putting little to no efforts into training

11. She made the acadec team win and yet she didn’t claim the trophy. Too shy or too humble, or both

12. She is a character needed in our time, a SJW trademark. She has a moral code and principles and is socially aware. Fanboys are triggered. Note that while everyone ended up being in danger, respecting her ancestors is what made her able to stay on the ground, safe

13. “MY FRIENDS ARE UP THERE!” I thought you didn’t have any friends? So you do have feelings. And now I am soft and want to protect you at all cost

[Deleted footage entirely: NOBODY came to pick her up after they got back from DC. Why? And who do I have to fight for being awful parents and why are they awful? What is her family like etc?]

14. She goes to detention to “sketch people in crisis”. But only when Peter is there, it seems. Could it also be because she doesn’t want to go home anyways? And if so why?

15. She can draw. Talent

16. Sketching Peter’s sad detentioned ass and showing him. I want to know where the audacity stops

17. The middle finger. Enough said

18. She was appointed new captain of the decathlon team. See point 8. She is clever as hell, it’s canon

19. The look Peter gave her. We love foreshadowing

20. "My friends call me 'MJ'. However way you feel about this reveal, big or not, disappointing or not, it was well done

21. "I didn’t.” [Have any friends]. From "I don't have any friends" to "I didn't". She has come full circle

22. Point 21 makes you realize that she had a mini arc of her own that was not centered around Peter and her evil dad. I certainly wish it had been Liz's case

23. “What are you hiding, Peter? Just kidding, I don’t care, bye". But the look she gave to Peter right after? We love foreshadowing

24. She is a gift to meta culture. I wrote all of this based on roughly 3 mins screen time tops with deleted scenes and non included footage

Btw see this is how you hype a character you like. Coming up with original shit and metas and fics and fanarts. Running down a character you dislike does nothing, shocker

25. She is gorgeous. Yes that is a valid reason, y'all implicitly pull it with white characters all time & it is really hilarious she was supposed to not be attractive. One of the most unrealistic thing in this movie

Bonus: It’s because it’s Zendaya

And ultimately, because she is 'MJ'. Had she been white and a red hair, big silence about how "it's just because" since y'all would have decided that as SUCH a lore character, she'd have been deserving of support. Lots of screen time or not. Why can't y'all do the same thing here? Is why "it's because it's Zendaya" is going to lowkey be a thing, indeed. Deny it all you want, we know this is a matter of race. She still is and was racially attacked the day the news of her casting dropped, while she is an amazing talent that had been looking for a movie role and did what she had to do to get cast before she even left the room. Tom Holland's words, not mine. She auditioned for this role, you didn't. She got it and conveyed all of the above in 2 mins and 57 seconds. Michelle is a breath of fresh air both in her characterisation and interpretation of a female character and a love interest and that is why she was so instantly loved. We love not only one but two icons. Let it be known

A few little notes:

I'm real nervous about posting this but hi! This will be multi chaptered & I promise Wonho appears in the next chapter! It's very loosely based on my own experiences hah!

The only warning for now is for profanity I guess, that may change in the future...

This will be cross posted on Ao3 as well

That's it I guess! Hope you enjoy ~♡

"I really don't wanna go to a club this is not my type of thing..." You said with an edge of exasperation seeping through the phone, as you lay in your bed refusing to get up.

"Oh come on (Y/N), we're in freaking Japan you can't just hole yourself up in your room all the time." Your friend Amber replied with a whine in her tone. "You gotta let loose and have some fun sometimes, pull that stick out of your ass for god sake."

"I don't have a stick up my ass, fuck you Amber. I just don't see the appeal of being in a crowded room with the music blasting and being pushed around by a bunch sweaty people. Also, some of us haven't taken 3 semesters of Japanese, it's not like I can even flirt with anyone." You answered a bit sulkily. You were studying abroad in Japan for the semester, and even though you tried to teach yourself as much Japanese as possible before coming, the University you attended until now didn't offer Japanese courses like Amber's did, so you never got a formal Japanese education.

"Flirting has no language just come on it'll be fun!" She begged.

"Alright fine," you answered with a defeated tone, "But I'm gonna have to be drunk for this or it's not gonna happen."

"Of course! Hurry up and get ready, we'll take the train to Shibuya and stop at a Sev and pregame with some Strong Zeros. Meet me downstairs at 11." She blurted excitedly.

"What the hell am I even suppo-" you started before you heard a click indicating that Amber had hung up the phone. You pulled the phone away from your ear and looked at the time, 22:37, before groaning and rolling over onto your stomach and burying your face into the pillow and sighing loudly.

After a minute or 2 you pulled yourself out of bed and walked over to the dresser and began looking for something to wear. You scrutinized your closet for a few more minutes before purposely ignoring your more risqué outfits and settling on a thin cropped black sweater with shoulder cut outs and simple but tight, high-waisted white washed blue jeans. You quickly threw on the outfit then walked over to your bed and sat on the floor, eyeing the few pairs of shoes you brought before deciding against the heels and putting on a simple pair of black flats. You then walked over to the mirror and looked at yourself, debating whether or not it was worth it to put makeup on, before simply applying eyeliner and mascara and being done with it. As you were grabbing your bag and throwing your wallet in it, being sure that your resident's card was in it in case the police decided to stop you since your University threatened they would, Amber was sending text after text telling you to hurry out. You responded quickly telling her to "calm her tits" you grabbed your badge to get back in the dorm and your passmo for the subway and left your room.

______

You, Amber, and another mutual friend Jules, were precariously sitting on a guard rail on the side of the road right next to Seven Eleven, each of you nursing your third strong zero and most certainly feeling a rather strong buzz at this point, arguing about the alcohol content of the regular cans versus the larger cans.

"Dude, that doesn't even make sense." You argued squinting at Amber and pointing a finger in her direction.

"How does it not make sense?" She questioned right back, "If I'm drinking a tall strong zero, it's like drinking 2 regular strong zeros and therefore has an 18% alcohol content."

"Are you stupid?" Jules jabbed at Amber. "Both the regular and tall strong zeros are labeled as 9% alcohol, which means drinking 2 small ones will get you more drunk than one tall one."

"That still sounds wrong to me..." you replied hesitantly, because for some reason Jules' argument was swaying you when you knew if you hadn't been drinking at all, you wouldn't have given it a second thought. "Either way I think the fact that we are having this conversation proves that we are well on our way to being drunk so we should chug the last of these and head to the club." You said before doing just that with the last of yours and cringing at the aftertaste. You really weren't a fan of grapefruit but it was the only flavor they had left at the Seven Eleven.

"Oh, someone's impatient considering I had to drag your ass here in the first place." Amber commented with a smirk before her and Jules finished their drinks as well.

"Don't let the alcohol get to your head. You couldn't drag me anywhere if you tried."

"Sure babe whatever helps you sleep at night." Jules replied with snark.

"You know, I'm feeling really attacked right now, maybe I should just go home." You replied sarcastically.

"And waste a perfectly good buzz? Nah, lets go." Amber answered as she got off the guard rail and you and Jules followed behind her, since she knew where the club was.

_____

"TADA!" Amber screeched. "Welcome to Camelot, AKA the best club in Shibuya!"

"How do you know it's the best club in Shibuya?" You asked sarcastically. "Have you been to every club here?"

"I know you're trying to be funny but I honestly probably have, you know I go clubbing on weekdays too."

"Yeah I know, because you always miss class the next day and ask me for notes. Honestly they can fail your ass for breaking the attendance policy."

"I'd like to see them try."

"Can y'all shut up so we can go inside?" Jules asked heading into the club and you and Amber continued to bicker as you followed behind her.

You all walked down the stairs to the front desk gave the attendent your residence cards to inspect and paid the 1500 yen entrance fee for the club. She gave all three of you 2 free drink tokens and permitted you to enter the club. The club had several small circular tables spread throughout where there were various people smoking and drinking. Straight ahead was the bar in which there was a small line of people waiting their turn to order drinks. Further to your right you analyzed the dance floor where there was a small crowd of people dancing and jumping up and down. There was a fog machine periodically adding more fog to the atmosphere and red green and blue flashing lights. At the very front of the dance floor there was a stage with a DJ hyping up the crowd. There were three platforms on the dance floor that only girls were permitted to dance on. No one explicity told you that, but you assumed that was the case when you saw security guards pull guys down from the platform if they attempted to get on them. The music was so loud you couldn't hear Amber trying to get your attention so she smacked your arm instead.

"Ow you bitch, what do you want?!" You asked loudly, trying to raise your voice over the music.

"Do you have 100 yen?" Amber questioned.

"Yeah, for what?"

"There are some lockers over there we can put our stuff in, it cost 300 yen for the night. I figure we could all just share one for 100 yen each."

"Sounds good to me! C'mon let's go." Jules shouted.

The three of you walked to the locker room, taking some money out of your bags before stuffing them in the locker and taking the key. Your friends left the key in your care since even though you were all a little drunk already, you were known to be the more responsible one. You all left the locker room and walked to the bar and used your first drink tokens. Amber and Jules got tequila sunrises while you just got whiskey on the rocks. Not the tastiest but hey, if you're gonna make it through this night you're gonna need to be much more drunk and it needs to be right now.

"Hey Y/N!" Jules shouted both her and Amber already finished with their drinks. "C'mon let's go dance on the podiums!"

"I'll meet you guys there! Lemme just finish my drink." You yelled back and the others nodded in agreement before running over to the podiums and jumping up on them, dancing like maniacs immediately. You sighed as you downed the rest of your whiskey, and shook off that familiar burn. You mumbled to yourself as you walked over to join them.

"God it's gonna be a long night..."

// rooftop rapture // pt. 1 //

leon

after his conversation with nolie, leon had messaged the other careers to convene on the roof to talk. he had reservations about all of them, even nike but he thought it would be best if they all spoke, got on the same wavelength or parted ways early on. when he made his way to the roof, he saw two outlying mentors smoking, as soon as they saw the handsome district two tribute, they hunched over and hissed before they scuttled back to tend to their poor tributes. as soon as the door opened to the roof again, he turned around and smiled.

nike

when nike had gotten the message, she let out a soft sigh. she had only met one of the other careers earlier upon their arrival to the capitol, aside from leon. but having to meet on the roof and have to make nice? nike wasn't sure she was capable of it... still, she made her way up to the roof, opening the door and letting the two mentors pass. she glanced toward leon and made her way further out onto the roof. "is it just us so far?"

leon

"yeah, just us. i was going to knock on your door but i didn't know if you were ready or not." walking over to her, he looked around. "have you met any other careers yet?"

nike

"i met aggie earlier, she seems all right." she shared the same eagerness to get into the arena as nike had. she was more than ready to go in and face the other tributes. "what about you? any chance you met the others?"

leon

"ronni, the boy from four he's... eager. uses a halberd which is an interesting weapon - he's a sure bet for allying i think but we'll see when we get into the training centre." looking at the door and squinting he sighed. "where are the others?"

calix

Calix hadn’t meet any of the other tributes yet, well besides his sister of course, so he was a little surprised to learn that the careers were all meeting on the rooftop. He slipped out of bed and dressed before heading up to the rooftop garden. When he arrived he spied two figures and figured they were who he was looking for. He shoved his fists into his jacket pockets before approaching them and giving them a head jerk as greeting.

goldie

goldie walked up to the roof slowly. she'd heard that the careers were meeting on the roof, and she wasn't about to miss out. she saw her brother ahead of her — he must've just gotten out of the one's apartment before she did. goldie knew their mentors wouldn't approve, so she'd waited until they were either asleep or out to sneak up to the roof. she joined the small circle of careers, smiling at them. "nice to meet you, i'm goldie."

leon

as soon as leon asked the question the boy and girl from one came. leon smiled at both of them, sizing them up. "i'm leon, district two. you two are from one, right?"

goldie

"yup," goldie said, nodding. "that your district partner?" she asked, nodding at the girl standing next to him

calix

Calix smiled slightly as a polite gesture as he looked both of the other tributes over. “What she said.” He replied as he nodded his head at Goldie.

leon

leon thought it was strange that a brother and sister would compete in the same year but stranger things have happened. "you two met the pair from four?"

nike

she turned her attention toward the door as it opened. a boy and girl emerged from the doorway, the boy only giving a nod while the girl offered more of an introduction. "nike," she greeted with a small nod of her head.

ronni

ronni, armed with a bottle of vodka in one hand and a jug of tequila in the other, giggled as the elevator took he and aggie up to the top of the roof. he, like the other careers, had received the message from leon. the pair from four took one look at each other and knew what the other was thinking: time for a party. so, the moment the elevator arrived and the door slid open, ronni leapt out and held both containers of alcohol in the air. "wooh! what's up, guys?!"(edited)

leon

"you've got to be fucking joking." leon whispered underneath his breath

calix

“Nope” Calix popped the p in the word before letting his eyes pass male and female to look out over the rooftop. As the door behind them opened and there was shouting Calix turned with raised brows. “Someone found the liquor cabinet it looks like.” He chuckled as he shook his head in disbelief.(edited)

nike

the elevator doors opened and another pair emerged. the boy let out a cheer and a loud, enthusiastic greeting. "you want the peacekeepers coming up here and calling this whole thing off? might want to tone down the hype, party boy."

leon

"for once, i'm inclined to agree with nike." parties weren't a rarity in two but the thought of throwing one on the roof whilst there were tributes brought out a part of leon he'd rather keep to himself

goldie

goldie frowned. "i'm all for the side of getting tipsy, but if peacekeepers bust our ass because you can't keep your mouth shut, i'm gonna kick your ass."

ronni

he walked over eagerly and nodded to each of the new faces he hadn't seen before. once he set down the bottles, he gave a big smile and extended his hand for fist-bumps. "you're damn right! It wasn't hard, honestly. i got an avox to show me. there's so much stuff in those cabinets, man."  the smile began to slowly fade as an onslaught of negative comments came his way. still, he wouldn't let that get him down. he wanted a party! "jeez, i'm sorry. sorry, sorry. i just thought it would be good to celebrate, yeah?"(edited)

leon

leon felt bad now, not only was ronni short - his feelings had been hurt, it wasn't surprising that he overcompensated by acting like a party animal. patting his shoulder, leon held out his hand for one of the bottles. "he's right, we're going to be the best career pack the hunger games has ever seen, right?"

aggie

at least she and ronni were on the same wave length. he may be an overconfident ass, but at least he knew to have fun. she hadn't wanted to get paired with one of those careers who was too concerned with their physique, or whatever. a little alcohol warmed the blood. holding strawberry winecoolers in both hands, aggie pouted at the others who disapproved. "oh, i'm sorry. i didn't realize i was with a bunch of pussies here. that doesn't bode well for the games."

ronni

ronni couldn't help but laugh at aggie's blunt comment. oh, aggie. he could always count on her for a laugh -- no matter how crazy and bloodthirsty she really was. the energy returned to his smile as leon comforted him. "yeah... yeah, i am right! c'mon, guys, let's get this thing started." he picked up the jug of tequila, twirled the top, and flicked it off expertly. it was gonna be a long night.(edited)

nike

she hadn't minded that ronni had brought the alcohol, but with the noise he had been making, it was going to draw unwanted attention. and nike was already having enough of that with this crowd, but one way or another, they had to be all on the same page if they wanted to form a solid alliance. because the career packs had been pretty abysmal in the last few years...  she reached for one of the bottles, "i'm just saying, if we don't want to get kicked off the roof, we need to keep the noise down"

calix

Calix decided to stay out of it and just reached for the vodka, cracking the seal open, and bringing the bottle to his lips to take five large gulps of the burning liquid.

aggie

"what, are you afraid of the big bad peacekeepers?" aggie said, her voice taking an exaggerated tone, like the kind one would use when telling a scary story to a child. "i mean, what can they do to us now?"

leon

leon looked at calix with raised eyebrows "everything alright there friend?"

ronni

ronni whooped with glee at the sight of the guy from one guzzling the liquor like a champ. "chug, chug, chug!"(edited)

nike

"we're not going to get anything accomplished if we get kicked out in the first five minutes. it'll be a waste of time we don't have before going in the arena."

goldie

goldie took one of the strawberry wine coolers from aggie. "a girl after my own heart, huh?" she said, grinning at her as she took a drink.

calix

Calix rolled his eyes at the boy from Four before he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand before scoffing with a smirk. “Will be more than alright soon enough.” His lips pulled up into a full grin.

ronni

the grinning was contagious. with the same infectious smile, ronni turned towards aggie and playfully jabbed her in the side with his elbow. "y'know, i'll be honest, i didn't think they'd have what it takes. it seems that one over there can handle his liquor."(edited)

aggie

"but of course." aggie responded, shooting goldie a wink before turning back to ronni. "didn't think i'd see it out of four. color me impressed."

leon

"what do y'all drink like you've got no future in four or something?"

nike

nike took a drink from her wine cooler, letting out a soft scoff at leon's remark.

aggie

"if you go to the right places." aggie said, giggling into the cup she poured for herself. "there's some places by the docks..." she shook her head, smirking as if lost in memory.

ronni

"nah, it's more like we drink 'cause we got a lot to celebrate," he said right before he took a big swig of the hearty tequila. "then again, we all have a lot to celebrate -- which brings me back to my original point, guys. cheers to us!"

goldie

"cheers!" goldie said, clinking her wine cooler with the closest glass

leon

"cheers!" leon had grabbed a wine cooler too, not wanting to get too wild and clinked his glass with goldie's. "so what is district one like?" he asked her

nike

"cheers," nike lifted her bottle to clink against one of the other glasses or bottles before taking another drink. she glanced at leon upon his inquiry to the girl from one-- goldie, her name was-- and she looked to the girl to wait for her response.

goldie

"it's nice!" goldie said, smiling. the wine cooler was making her feel warm and fuzzy inside, which was always a nice feeling. "pretty warm. lots of shiny things. anything to add, calix?" she asked, nudging her brother with her shoulder

ronni

ronni, having sensed that all but leon's district partner were having a good time, reached out and clinked her bottle. if they were going to get along, then they all had to come together. "so, uh, what's your name? you're leon's partner, right?"

aggie

"shiny things!" aggie echoed, her signature cackle suddenly appearing. "one and done for the girl from one, then. little bit lightweight?" it was all in good fun, at least how aggie intended it.

ronni

ronni heard aggie's outburst and made purposeful eye-contact with leon. a smirk spread across his face as he sipped his tequila.

leon

“my family does a lot of hunting in two and we send over the furs and pelts to one to make whatever luxury things you get from that.” Leon raised his eyebrow at Aggie’s cackle but decided to unpack that another day. He caught Ronni’s eye and snorted as he took another sip of his drink “so what does your family do Aggie?”(edited)

nike

"nike," she replied. he hadn't been there when she introduced herself to the twins from one. her gaze turned toward aggie at her sudden exclamation and she gave a small shake of her head.

calix

Calix grabbed a wine cooler before leaning back against the railing of the rooftop. “Not really, no.” He smirked

ronni

"ronni," he said with a nod and a sip. he could tell instantly what kind of person she was. boring, dull, and a partypooper were just a few of the words that came to mind. in fact, she reminded him of jane. shuddering, he willed images of jane from his mind. "cool. uh... okay, what's your go-to weapon?  i know leon's is a bow and arrow. mine's a halberd."

aggie

aggie scrunched up her face at the mention of her family. it was still a bit of a sore spot, when you got down to it. it had been a long time since she was a little girl teased for her family's lack of wealth, and she doubted it would matter much here--but still, the memory remained. "shrimping, mostly. but i haven't lived with them in some time so not really important."

goldie

"academy shit or...?" goldie asked, quirking an eyebrow at the girl.

nike

she nodded to confirm what he knew of leon. she had seen leon practice with both weapons at the academy and he knew how to handle himself pretty well. "sword," she replied, looking over to ronni with a raised brow, "a halberd?" she hadn't seen a lot of tributes go for that weapon

leon

everybody loved shrimp, so in leon's mind her family were saints "familial issues. that's a good sign. were they not supportive of your wish to participate?"

goldie

"crossbow," goldie said, grinning.

aggie

"i live with my trainer, yeah." aggie said quickly, only allowing a scowl to dance across her face for a moment. she was eager to change the subject. "no, it was just better for my training and everything. i dunno, it doesn't matter. there weren't issues." this was getting entirely too personal for her liking.

ronni

a sword? it was interesting to ronni. when he first met leon, he had expected him to say sword and for a girl to say bow and arrow. so, the roles were switched? he couldn't help but chortle as he sipped, sipped, sipped. "yeah, a halberd. it's pretty cool. i know it's not the most common thing to use but i love it."  oh, wait, there it was! the girl from one -- goldie? -- used a crossbow. he tipped his jug at her and gave her a wide grin. she was pretty cute, now that he got a good look at her. he started to speak but stopped when aggie mentioned her trainer. he hadn't known that about her. he paused, pretended to sip from his jug, and stared at her out of the corner of his eye.(edited)

leon

leon thought it was weird that the district one pair were brother and sister, but the fact that aggie lived with her trainer took the crown for him. he was finding it difficult to not laugh. "oh word."

goldie

"see, calix and i have been in the academy since we were old enough to talk. good old mom wants a victor, so..." goldie took another sip of her wine cooler. the wine made the cool night air a little less chilly.

calix

Calix cocked his head to the side at Aggie’s admission “Oh?” He sipped his drink “They just your trainer or...?” He raised his brows.(edited)

ronni

sensing aggie's discomfort, ronni stepped to the side and playfully slapped calix on the back. "hey, how's that drink treating ya, man? feeling like a loosey goosey?"

nike

it was unique, she gave that to ronni. the attention seemed to shift toward aggie when she mentioned living with her trainer, and the others seemed to pick on her for it. though there was an air of discomfort the more they tried to dig into the girl from four, until the topics shifted. nike let out a breath and took another drink from her bottle.

aggie

aggie's eyes bulged at calix's comment, and she nearly spit out the wine her cup. "fuck, that's perverted. bada is older than my mother." she was done with this, ready to pick at something else. "i'm surprised we're talking about my family and not yours, Cali?"(as a side note--aggie is the queen of nicknames. everyone gets one)

ronni

ronni had been in the middle of taking a sip when aggie, in true aggie fashion, said something he found hysterical. the tequila traveled up his throat and into his nose. brown liquid shot out at a great speed as he unleashed a guffaw of epic proportions.  fuck, that's perverted  god, that was so rich.(edited)

leon

leon didn't find what aggie said nearly as funny as ronni did but the sheer violence of ronni's reaction made him yell out in laughter.

1

aggie

"thanks for the encouragement, ronni." aggie said, leaning over and patting her district partner on the leg. "your support means the world to me."

calix

Calix’s eyes flicked to Ronni as he saw movement and stiffened as the other male slapped him on the back. Despite no longer having to worry about people feeling the outline of a binder or sports bra under his clothes he still didn’t like being touched on the back. Calix stood up and looked the male over. “Sure.” He smiled a tight lip smile to Ronni before turning his attention back to Aggie and laughing at her reaction. “Hey, some people are into that.” He shrugged. “Cali, aye?” He cocked his head again. “What do you want to know?” Calix’s brows wrinkled as he looked at Ronni after the alcohol shot out of his nose. “Well, that’s fucking gross.”

ronni

"no--hack no problem, aggie. no problem at all," he said as he desperately tried to wipe away both the residual tequila from his nose and the tears from his eyes. shit, this shit burned. shit. ronni looked up at calix's comment and let an eyebrow travel upwards. "look, it was an accident. at least it didn't get on you... oh, shit, did it get on you?"(edited)

nike

this is the guy that I'm going to be fighting with in the arena in a few weeks... she thought as ronni shot liquor and whatever the hell else out of his nose in laughter. she needed more booze if she was going to get through this night.

calix

Calix smiled a sweet smile. “Trust me, you’d know if you got it on me since I would have kicked your ass.” He sipped his drink again.

leon

calix was bold, and leon liked the friendly (?) banter he had already struck up between him and ronni. "ooh that's fighting talk calix. maybe day one of training you can put your pride where your mouth is."

ronni

it was like magic. ronni’s posture straightened, the burning sensation in his nose was replaced with one in his chest, and he stared intently at the boy from one. “huh?” he said sharply(edited)

aggie

"Cali." she affirmed. ignoring her district partner's struggles and pouring herself another glass. they had stronger stuff in the capitol--she was already lightheaded. "well, i'm not sure you've noticed, but i believe that your twin sister is going into the games with you.""thought i'd shoot the elephant in the room while we're at it, aye?" aggie added.

leon

leon was left thoroughly gagged by aggie's words.

so he quietly sipped his fourth winecooler

goldie

"that's who that is?" goldie said, sarcastically. "i would've had no idea. we're related?" she said, mock surprise in her voice

calix

Calix chuckled lightly “Now What would be the fun in that? Gotta keep you guys guessing.” He told Leon before ignoring Ronni and turning to Aggie and looking her over with a smirk. “I like it.” Calix laughed “Look at that, you’re not just a pretty face. You’re observant too!” Calix looped am arm around his twin “Yeah, that wasn’t part of the plan but what do you do?” He shrugged.

ronni

what the fuck? ronni felt his grip on the jug tighten. he took a large, dramatized step closer to calix and let his face inch closer to his. he gave goldie a wink, too, for good measure. regardless of how annoying her brother was, she was still pretty cute. “guessing you didn’t hear me. let me say it again, man. huh?!”

nike

the comeback calix had was a small joke, just a light jab at ronni after his rather obnoxious reaction. but things seemed to escalate from ronni's reaction and nike found herself growing tense, merely exchanging glances between ronni and calix silently.

goldie

goldie stepped back slightly. if there was going to be a fight, she had no intention of being in the middle of it

aggie

Oblivious to the rising tension, Aggie smirked at Calix. "I hate to be the one to break this to you," aggie said, still barely holding back laughter. "but you can still volunteer when you're eighteen."

calix

Calix stiffened but didn’t back away as Ronni got in his face. He smirked, even as Ronni looked his sister over. He looked over at Aggie. “She was drawn after I volunteered.” Then Calix suddenly moved forward, his lips connecting roughly with Ronni’s.

aggie

A moment of silence, then Aggie, who had already been giggling, roared into laughter. “Holy—fucking—shit!”

goldie

goldie cackled. "better hope none of the cameras saw that, huh pretty boy?"

nike

there was a beat of stunned silence after the kiss and nike let out a soft snort. "well damn." she couldn't say she saw that coming.

ronni

of all the things he had been expecting -- a punch, a slap, a string of curse words -- this... was not what he expected. his eyes widened and a rush of pink overtook his face. after about three-five seconds of, um... 'kissing'  transpired, ronni fell back and looked at the boy from one with wide, enraged eyes. "what the fuck, man? what--what the fuck?"

leon

leon let out a silent breath of air, he was grateful he wasn't the only queer on the roof.  "get a room guys" and he winked at the two of them before downing the rest of his drink.

ronni

"w-what... wait, i--"  ronni sputtered at aggie, goldie, nike, and leon in quick succession. "now, hold on, i--"

aggie

“history is a flat circle my friends, “ aggie murmured, after she recovered from her fit. “they’re both going to die trampled by ponies. pretty boys don’t stand a chance.”

goldie

"all the better for us, right girls?" goldie asked, taking another sip of her wine cooler.

nike

"relax, doubt anybody on the roof right now's gonna kiss and tell. your reputation's safe, pretty boy."

leon

"there's no shame on this roof ronni, after all at least five us will be dead soon" leon snorted.

calix

Calix pulled back before shrugging and laughing heartily. “Thought you’d learn not get in my face.”

leon

"calix i think he liked it though." leaning against the roof edge, leon was excited to see how this played out.

ronni

ignoring the others, ronni -- evidently not learning his lesson -- closed the distance between himself and calix once more. he grasped at his shirt and pulled him close. returning the kiss was the last thing on his mind. "gimme one good reason why i shouldn't clock you in the face for that shit you just pulled."

leon

"you liked it!" shouted leon from the distance.

aggie

“hit him!” aggie yelled from the spot she had taken on the floor. “hit him!”

calix

Calix shrugged “All the better.” He winked at Ronni but soon the male was grabbing Calix. “Because you know if you hit me the peacekeeper will come.”

goldie

goldie quirked an eyebrow, looking at her fellow careers — well, the ones not involved in the altercation — "anyone wanna take any bets?"

nike

"he's not going to hit him. he would have done it by now."

leon

"i agree with nike, but if they were to fight - my money is on calix but it'd be a close fight."

goldie

goldie mock-pouted in the girl from two's direction. "aw, but i was so looking forward to my brother kicking his ass," she said mournfully

ronni

"i don't care about the peacekeepers, man. what're they gonna do? hit me like i'm about to hit you--" his words caught in his throat. his head turned towards leon and a slightly hurt expression took ahold of his face. "your money is on who?!"

Mighty Magiswords, A Show Horribly Mistreated by Cartoon Network

So recently, it's come to my attention that Cartoon Network is cancelling Mighty Magiswords after only two seasons.

And you may ask, well, why?

Well, to be blunt, if your show isn't Teen Titans Go, then CN doesn't give a shit about it.

And I suppose we really should've seen this coming, considering CN has been blatantly mistreating this show for quite some time, let's look into that, shall we?

1: Long, unnecessary hiatuses, and Piss-Poor Scheduling

So in the above images I have some air dates listed, more specifically, the various hiatuses this show has suffered over it's 2-season run.

So the first hiatus starts with Grup Jam, we're not even halfway through the first season and we already have a hiatus, this'll be fun...

After this episode aired, we don't another new one for over 4 months, and if your show is already getting hiatuses during it's initial season, that's a huge problem.

The second hiatus is the absolute worst, we consistently get new episodes for 3 weeks, and then we get literally nothing for about 8 and a half months, this is pretty much twice the amount of time we waited last time, and despite premiering in 2016, for some fucking reason, CN decided to drag this shit out allllll the way into 2018.

The last hiatus, (which still hasn't ended, lmfao...) Takes place a fucking month, after the show just got back from this shit.

And also, no fucking reruns have been aired at all during this (so far, 3-month) hiatus.

Then CN decides to just dump all the remaining episodes on the app and website, almost like they're fully aware of how fucked up this whole situation is, but don't actually care enough to fix it.

Instead, they just wanna shut us up and pat themselves on the back, and be like:

"Yeah, we'll uh, get around to airing those... At some point...?"

And it's so easy for them to just dump it on the app and site because they think that'll satisfy us, and so they can say "HEY WE GAVE Y'ALL THE REST OF SEASON 2 NOW FUCK OFF". And hey, gotta make sure Teen Titans Go always makes up the majority of the schedule, right? Can't be having any other show have any sort of screentime at all, right? Nooo, that'd just be inhumane not to let fans get their daily fucking dosage of Toddler Titans Go.

The last one isn't much of a hiatus, but I just thought I'd point out how that small group of episodes aired in an extremely awkward fashion, kind of like on a bi-weekly basis, which was also bad.

And from what I heard, reruns that did air were around the 6am timeslot, and who the fuck is awake at that time, let's he honest.

2: Non-existent Advertising

The show was never fucking advertised, plain and simple, literally no publicity for this show, at any point in time.

Y'know how you see a commercial for an upcoming show, or new episodes for that show, and that's what initially grabs your attention and gets you to watch the show?

Yeah, that didn't happen for me, and probably not for you either.

I'm literally just flipping through On Demand's CN section, and I randomly stumbled upon Mighty Magiswords, literally never even hearing about it until that moment. And that's how I was introduced to the show.

Also, I'm not even sure if this show has had any proper marathons, at all? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not asking for the show to take up 99% of the fucking schedule, all week, but a few short marathons would've been much appreciated, and would have given the show some much needed publicity.

3: Lackluster Merchandise

CN didn't even bother making much merch at all, literally all I could find was 3 books, a few generic t-shirts (and I literally mean 3 or 4) on the CN store, and I think I heard that the Pumpkin Magisword was made into a toy? Not entirely sure.

And please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that they have yet to release any of the episodes/first season on DVD, which is fucking obsurd.

Considering TTG already has all 4 of it's fully aired seasons on DVD already.

So there's just a lack of any merchandise at all, which is incredibly disheartening, because some of us fans would actually like some plushies, or comics, or proper DVDs to show our support for the show, but nope.

CN's too busy excessively pumping out TTG toys, books, water bottles, watches, shirts, hoodies, phone cases, Funko pops, DVDs, buttons, etc.

Truly sickening.

4: Cancellation

Unfortunately, this show died as soon as it started.

It was doomed to fail, due to airing on a network that only gives a shit about excessively jerking off their single cash cow.

Had it been picked up by Disney or Nickelodeon, it likely would've had a much better shot.

Fingers crossed that Neflix picks it up and continues the show, but the chances of that happening are about as likely as pigs gaining the ability to fly, unfortunately.

CN is legitimately hurting me at this point, I used to absolutely adore this network, but it's just fallen off so fucking much in recent years.

So, I'd like to give a personal fuck you to Cartoon Network, for completely neglecting one of their legitimately good, original shows, and just blatantly disrespecting the living hell out of Kyle Carrozza, and everyone who ever even worked on the show.

This has me incredibly concerned for any future shows to air on this network, as long as TTG is around.

Infinity Train is one show coming up that I'm absolutely hype for in 2019, but I am viciously afraid of how CN is going to handle this show, they'll probably just slap it into the 6am - 7am timeslot when most people are sleeping and never even advertise the show.

I'm so horribly disappointed in Cartoon Network, it's truly a dumpster fire, and doesn't care about any of it's other shows.

That being-said, I'd just like to quickly say how much I adored this show,

I loved everything about it, the characters, the voices, the setting, the Magiswords, the pacing (yes, I didn't mind the quickness), it never failed to give me a few good laughs per episode. And, to see something I loved so dearly, be ripped away from me, due to coporate greed and negligence, is absolutely devastating and disgusting.

It was a fun ride while it lasted, but it just ended too soon... :(

R.I.P

My thoughts on the the first two Shatter Me novels + the little novella from Warner's POV

So I finally gave in and read this series. Everyone I know who's read this has either REALLY disliked it or REALLY loved it so....

Don't mean to be a hater but I find the writing of Shatter Me frankly ridiculous. I have read many Y/A series before, and most of them do use metaphors and descriptive prose, but this series takes metaphors to a whole new level of ridiculous. Just sample this:

"Hate looks like everybody else until it smiles. Until it spins around and lies with lips and teeth carved into semblance of something too passive to punch."

I.......ok, ok, some of y'all are probably going to find this one really deep. But I just couldn't get it, I'm sorry. What the actual flying fuck does this mean? Also these:

"Every organ in my body falls to the ground."

"There are 400 cotton balls caught in my windpipe."

"I always won­der about raindrops.I won­der about how they’re always falling down, trip­ping over their own feet, break­ing their legs and for­get­ting their para­chutes as they tum­ble right out of the sky toward an uncer­tain end.”

Just say what you WANT to say?? Listen I'm all for descriptions and imagery. I really am. But this seems like overambitious writing, which is begging to be made into artsy edits.

You want imaginative YET understandable writing? Read this:

"She remembered how her heart, so tight, like a scroll, had opened when Arin kissed her. It had unfurled. If her heart were truly a scroll, she could burn it. It would become a tunnel of flame, a handful of ash. The secrets she had written inside herself would be gone. No one would know..." (The Winner's Curse)

See? Neat, glass-bright imagery. You can visualise it immediately. It's deep but not faux pretentious. The relationship between the compared objects is carried across well. (Infact, The Winner's Trilogy is a masterclass on writing YA fiction. Shame it's not as hyped as other contemporary ya books in Tumblr.)

I was quite excited to read the new form of writing as I'd read in the reviews. I love reading books in the journal format or any creative away other than a simple narrative. For example I'd adored the presentation of the story in Everything, Everything. But here it's just plain annoying. Paragraphs wasted on hyperbolic verse. Description after description of eye colours and hair styles. Also why are random lines struck out even if it doesn't make sense?? What sort of ingenious disaster is this?

About the characters-

Juliette: I love Juliette. Yes she is rather extra and super depressed but she is also brave, resourceful, resilient, beautiful and compassionate. She is very kind, without being perfect. I like how much she suffers and still retains her softness and empathy. She's got some Padme Amidala vibes to her, though much more subdued and quieter. And I'm totally not being partial because we were born one day apart.

Adam: Oh boy. This dude has transcended every level of annoying possible. He is so bland, so absolutely dull in characterization and unappealing in every other way that it takes sheer Herculean effort to read the parts concerning him. Especially the romantic scenes with Juliette, God I needed eye and mind bleach after that line of her memorising his body with her lips. Egad.

Warner: I really liked him and his presence until I realised he was nineteen in the first book (I.... I am nineteen y'all) which made me laugh for twenty five minutes because suddenly he seemed cartoonish- a 19 year old Greek God with perfect cheekbones, who of course has implied OCD, is perfect in every way, who apparently strikes fear in the heart of a whole regiment of much older trained soldiers. I could believe in Kaz Brekker's upbringing and trauma and subsequent hardened self but Warner's was just....weirdly built, idk. He's a bit creepy. I still find him likeable enough, and he'll probably grow on me. I also like his dynamic with his evil dad, very Jaime/Tywin. (YEAH I KNOW HE'S GONNA END UP WITH JULIETTE IN THE END, idk how that's gonna work cause I'm not feeling them as a couple yet)

Kenji: I'll be honest, I felt like slapping Kenji throughout the first book but he became my favourite character in the next. Suddenly he is the most rational and useful and no nonsense character in the series. Sigh.

About the story- I have mixed feelings. The plot is quite interesting, definitely nowhere close to The Grisha Trilogy or SoC or Winner's Trilogy but still it has potential. It's like the accidental baby of The Hunger Games and Twilight, no kidding. The whole concept of mutant outcasts teaming up against a totalitarian government is done-to-death, but I do like Winston and Castle and the rest of the crew, let's see how they pull this off.

Is it a good series? Yeah, I guess. One of my favs? Umm, not yet. But it could be. Eventually.

oh gosh, this was requested so fucking long ago :/ IM SORRY ;-;

-

Zach had just sat down next to Bryce- with five cups of fruit loops- the brunette smiled wickedly looking at his close friend as Zach opened up the first cup of fruit loops, “Hey, I heard you were looking for some more money,” Zach looked up his eyebrows furrowed, he was he needed money but he couldn’t get a job because he had to constantly watch May, help Alex Standall with his physical therapy, and go to baseball- and basketball- practice/games.

The raven-haired boy shrugged while putting a few of the colorful cereal into his mouth, “I mean… I guess so, why?” He questioned.

“Well, how about you and I make a little bet” Zach stopped eating his eyebrows raised in curiosity, nodding inquisitively, “You see Standall over there,” Zach’s eyes followed Bryce's gaze. There Alex Standall was his light brown almost red colored hair picking at his salad, he and Alex were acquaintances they weren’t extremely close although Zach did help him from time to time it didn’t really make them best friends.

“Yeah what about him?” Zach asked looking back towards the wicked boy.

“I bet you can’t get him to fall in love with you in time of now to the end of the school year,” He smirked, the taller one of the two frowned, but money was money and Bryce was filthy rich.

“How much are we talking?” Zach asked popping another fruitloop in between his thin pink lips.

“Five hundred big ones,” Was it worth it? Zach decided on no. He shook his head slowly.

“Nah dude, that’s fucked up,” Bryce raised his eyebrows at the boy next to him.

“Someone’s afraid to lose,” He was manipulating and maniacal and he knew just how to get what he wanted, especially when it came to getting one of his goons to do something for him.

“I’m not afraid to lose it’s just that’s mean is all,” He shrugged speaking with less confidence than before eating more of the cereal.

“Mhm,” He hummed sarcastically, with a small grin playing at his thin lips, “I think someone’s a coward,” He sung grabbing Zach's cereal cup and eating a few. Zach hated that word, coward, he was one, that was true but he wouldn’t admit it he wouldn’t speak of it, what he said got underneath his skin.

“I’m not coward, I’ll do it…” He inhaled before continued, “For double the price,” Bryce nodded looking at his ‘friend’ with new found respect for him.

“Alright,” He nodded sticking his hand out, “It’s a bet,” Zach nodded a sinking feeling inside his stomach- he ignored it.

-

“Hey, Alex,” Zach said as they stood in the locker room of the swimming pool after another their physical therapy session. Alex looked up at the boy with a hum as he ran a towel through his hair, “Wanna go see a movie with me, I- I mean if you aren’t tired, because you really pushed yourself today,” He smiled, trying to persuade him.

“Am I going to get something other than salad?” He questioned making Zach chuckle.

“Of course,”

“Then yeah, okay, as long as it isn’t a cheesy shitty teen movie,” He rolled his eyes as he had slipped on his shirt, closing his locker.

“Nah, dude, we’ll watch a good movie,” He spoke his gaze lingering a little too long before he went ahead a put his white tee shirt on, putting his varsity jacket over, hair wet sticking to his forehead he ran his hands through it.

“What’s even playing at the theaters?” Alex questioned standing up using his cane for support. Zach thought for a second, what would be best to execute his plans.

“I think a good horror movie is playing I’m not too sure,” The giant shrugged before helping Alex out of the pools lockerroom, his heart nagging at him 'this is wrong, this is fucking wrong Zach, look at him he’s been through so much,’ he inhaled deeply, pushing the thoughts away, further into the back of his mind… If only he would’ve listened to that feeling.

As they got in the car Zach looked over at Alex, a silence fell between the two. He smiled before looking back to a steering wheel, once Zach got settled in he started the car and began to drive towards the Crestmont.

Jack noticed the silence no radio is playing so he took it upon himself to turn the radio up, going through the options before he landed on one Bitch Better Have my Money played Zach smiled contently, Alex was having none of it- he could get down to some Rih-Rih don’t get him wrong but this wasn’t a song he was into at the moment.

“Seriously?” The boy deadpanned, Zach looked over at him his eyebrows furrowed as he chuckled shrugged his shoulder.

“Bitch better have my money!” Zach sang along to the song with a knowing smirk toying on his lips, “Y'all should know me well enough!” He shrugged his shoulder up and down as a form of- terrible- dancing.

“This is shit Zach,” He rolled his eyes Zach looked over at him with a look of pure confusion.

“How can you diss the queen herself?” He questioned out of pure shock.

Alex shook his head sarcastically clicking his tongue, “Oh young Dempsey, you have a lot to learn, she is good- mmmmsure, but, not THAT good,” He shrugged simply.

“Alright, plug your phone into my aux, let's see,” Alex did what has requested a smile stretching across his lips, his dimples very predominately there.

The music began playing and Zach knew exactly who it was, he looked over at Alex, “Now, she is a true queen,” He explained as Billie Elishes Copy Cat played.

“Is this the song you get hyped to?” He asked.

“Yes, why wouldn’t I mean. C'mon, listen to it,” Alex replied looking out the window.

-

“Are you scared?” Zach asked the boy was hogging the popcorn, he had jumped for the tenth time.

“N-no, this amateur shit,” He whispered back to his taller counterpart. Zach smiled before looking back up at the screen Alex was obviously scared and Zach was too- not that he’d admit it. Alex jumped the popcorn being thrown up into the air the buttery popcorn landing on the two of them.

“Why’d you lie?” Zach questioned smirking biting back a laugh. Alex shot him a glare grabbing a piece of popcorn from Zach's lap.

“Hey guess what,” Alex whispered. Zach shrugged with a questioning look on his face, “Fuck you.” He smiled, Zach starred at Alex his eyebrows raised with a smirk, he mimicked Alex picking a piece of popcorn from his shoulder.

“Yeah, okay,” he smirked looking back at the screen.

“She’s so fucking stupid why is gonna go back into the-” A scream erupted from the woman on the screen scaring Alex forcing himself to lean into Zach his face straight into Zach's arms.

“Yeah, Alex, you’re totally not scared not at all,” Zach laughed a tad before rolling his eyes.

“Fuck you,”

��You would,” He smirked.

“Sorry, I have higher standards,” He smirked.

-

It’d been a month into the bet and now if you saw Zach you saw Alex and if you saw Alex you saw Zach. They were inseparable the best of friends, yes, they were extremely annoying together and no, they didn’t care nor did they notice, Bryce sure as hell did and spoke up to Zach, Zach was on his way to sleep over at Alex’s leaving Bryce's place, “Don’t tell me you actually like that freak,”Zach's stomach dropped and he wanted to defend Alex and put Bryce in his place but no matter how much he wanted too, he couldn’t.

“Nah man,” He faked a smile, “All for the bet, I want that money,” Bryce smirked it was enough to throw chills down Zach's spine.

“Yeah, man, of course the bet,” And with that Zach left his keys in hand, he frowned, was this worth it? Could it push him over the edge one day? Would it? What would happen after the money? Zach frowned hitting his head- Love, Simon style (Zach forced Alex to go and watch it with him, yes, Zach cried) on his stirring wheel.

“I’m a piece of shit aren’t I, dad?” He questioned to no one but himself, he didn’t even know if he believed in signs but at that moment he looked over at the right time and there a white butterfly landed on his windshield and his aunt calls those butterflies angel butterflies, he smiled to himself, do what’s right he could hear his father saying.

-

Alex starred up at ceiling his arms on his stomach, he couldn’t sleep- he just could put his finger on why “Zach?” He waited for a response looking at the strange patterns in the ceiling.

“Yeah?” Zach whispers. He longed to tell Alex about everything he wanted to, it’s what was right he took a deep breath.

“I can’t sleep,” Alex spoke mindlessly not really knowing Zach had something on his mind.

“Me either,” The raven-haired boy rolled over to face his smaller counterpart who was on the bed, to his surprise a pair of blue eyes were already trained on him.

“Why can’t you?” He asked softly picking at the sheets beneath him.

Zach shrugged, “Not sure,” He knew, he knew very well. Alex reached for the pillow underneath his head throwing it at the boy on the floor.

“What the heck, Alex?” He laughed throwing it back- softly of course.

“Suck it, Dempsey,” He smiled, it was something that Zach had seen a few times before but it was felt special like his dimples were only ever present around him, his smile so bright that even the sun got jealous it just got Zach's stomach flipping in circles.

“Before the world goes to shit in the next couple of weeks and we are all put on the trail do you want to go to the carnival with me tomorrow?” His dark brown eyes looked through his lashes at towards Alex. How could you say no to Zachary Dempsey? Short answer, you can’t.

“Yeah…” Alex smiled throwing the pillow back at Zach.

-

“You gotta win me a Teddy Bear,” Alex said as he pointed to the game it was night so light shone perfectly on Alex's smile. Alex felt normal- well as normal as he could- no one knew why he had the cane and there were no stupid whispers about him.

“You bet your ass I will,” Zach shot back with a smirk pulling out a couple of dollars as Alex took out his phone and opened Snapchat up and began recording as soon as Zach bought the balls.

“Don’t record me!” Zach giggled as he threw the ball making one of the moving clowns fall down causing the two of them to cheer, Zach looked back at the Alex with a smile before doing it, again and again, winning the prize. Zach- while Alex was still recording took his best friend into a large bear hug causing a laugh to erupt from the smaller boy, the recording had stopped and Alex- of course, didn't post it to his story but saved it- smiled as Zach let go of him.

The man in the booth smiled sweetly at the two, “Which bear would you like son?” Zach looked over at Alex.

“The giant brown one,” He said looking up at the taller more beefier of the two. The man nodded turning around handing it to Zach.

“You take care of him,” He said passing the bear over.

“Oh, we’re not a-”

“We’re friends,” Alex said shaking his head.

“Sure you are,” He smiled.

And with that, the two set off walking- Alex limping- around the carnival. “Teacups?” Zach suggested, Alex shook his head.

“It’ll make me sick,”

“Funnel cakes?” Zach said fixing the bear he was holding.

“Yeah,” The two slowly but surely made their way there getting two funnel cakes- one with extra cinnamon.

Zach whipped out his phone doing a boomerang from the funnel cakes to Alex. “That’s ugly, I’ll bet,” Alex frowned tearing off a piece with his hands.

“What do you mean?” The other one questioned his face stuffed, powered sugar around his lips.

Alex grabbed a napkin reaching for Zach's face- not realizing, “Me, I mean, its ugly because of me,” He shrugged his blue eyes looking down at his lips sipping away the powdered sugar- and then he caught himself quickly sitting down throwing the napkin towards the chocolate-eyed boy.

Zach rolled his eyes wiping his lips not saying a word about what had just occurred, “Don’t talk yourself down like that,” Zach sternly spoke looking straight into the icy blue eyes of Alex Standall. “You looked…” Zach struggled to find the right words, “Amazing,” He smiled a small and goofy grin.

Zach and Alex stared at each other for a while, “Sweet,” He said sarcastically, “Now eat your food,”

-

Within two months and a half, the two were all over each other's social media, if you looked on Zachs Snapchat you’d see Alex had hacked his phone- being the only person that knows his password- with a stupid photo of he and Zach. If you look on Alex’s Instagram you’d see his normal emo boy postings but sprinkled with a carousel post of he and Zachs adventures, in the description of those pictures it would read 'The jock and the crippled adventures part…’ The two of them were close extremely close.

“Zach,” The brunette haired boys whispered- it was pretty late- his phone on the tired boys face, zooming in.

“Shut the fuck up, Standall,”

He giggled his foot coming into the frame of his Snapchat video kicking him softly, “You’re the worst,” Zach opened his eyes at that comment flipping the boy off and at that moment when brown met blue for the million and tenth time something shifted the world stopped spinning, the universe stopped expanding, time had stopped. The two tired boys had a connection sure, but they had just become more than that, just one look and it shook the foundation of their friendship. It was silent until the recording ended and began playing snapping the two back into reality. That was that, it wasn’t mentioned for the rest of that night nor the following morning while Zach made breakfast- they had switched it up and spent the night at his house instead.

Alex leaned against the railing of the stairs watching Zach dance around the kitchen- he was creating his world-famous French toast. He slowly walked down the steps, “Good morning,” The brunette yawned making Zach look up pausing the music.

“Hm?”

“Good morning, Jesus, are you trying to wake up May?” He had slept over a few times and knew May- Zach's little sister- was always grumpy when she woke up, “Anyways, help me over there so I don’t bust my ass, Dempsey,” Zach did as he was told.

-

Alex sat alone in his room he hadn’t seen Zach in a week, after that strange day they just stopped talking and that made Alex sad sadder than he’d like to admit. He had hung out with Jessica a few times throughout the week but it wasn't as it was with Zach, the constant happiness Alex had never felt in his life sometimes he’d smile till his cheeks hurt, he felt more confident with himself.

You probably drove him away, his thoughts spoke to him, you did drive him away, everyone gets tired of you at some point. His brain kept pushing these thoughts towards him and he couldn't push them away and soon a tear fell and then another and then another until he was sobbing hysterically so hard he couldn't hear his phone ringing nor did he hear the knocking on his door until it busted open. His sad blue eyes looked up only to find Zach.

“What the fu-” He looked down at the crying boy, “Alex, what’s-”

“You got tired of me didn’t you?!” He shouted all of his sadness and anger pushing through his voice. “You hate me now don’t you?!”

“Wha- Alex? What do you mean?” He tried getting closer but Alex threw a pillow at him.

“Leave me alone! Just go!”

“I’m not leaving you, Alex,” He shook his head- his heart was heavy in his chest he was lying to Alex, all for what? Money?

“No go hang out with you’re real friends!”

“You are my real friends!” Zach said trying to reach for Alex only getting hand slapped away but that didn't stop him he took the crying boy in a hug he tried to push away from Zach but it was no use they stayed there in that moment for what seemed like hours.

“Why did you think that Alex?” Zach whispered against his neck, no answer to the question he just felt… Hurt? 

-

“You know,” Zach said leaning on his locker waiting for Alex to get dressed, “We should go to Monets,” Zach had to admit, he loved hanging out with his new found best friend, he loved it more than anything in the world. He loved the feeling in his stomach like the flutter of butterflies when the almost red-head hugged him, he loved the scent of Alex Standall, but he was nothing but confused. He was straight... Wasn’t he? I mean he and Hannah have done some things, if you’re picking up what he’s putting down, he’d always found women attractive never a stupid guy, but he just can’t help but think of Alex when he tried to drift to sleep when he tried to do anything. That’s what made this bet so hard to execute, they’re best friends but recently he’s noticed a shift in the friendship, not a bad a bad one, not at all actually. 

“If you’re planning to propose,” He said putting his shirt on, “You’ll be thoroughly disappointed, Dempsey,” He looked behind himself reaching for his cane, “It’s a no,” A mimicked a sad smile, the other boy held out his large hand for Alex to grab rolling his eyes.

“Ah, too bad, you could’ve had all the candy in the world,” The two carried on the joke until they got into the car. 

“What’s the song we’re listening to today, oh wise one?” Zach goofed around, looking over towards Alex with a smile.

“I don’t know man, I didn’t prepare,” The two laughed and just talked all the way to Monets something the two did often, but it was different it had a different feel to it, like it was a big world but it was there’s for the taking, Alex felt more normal than he had in forever and Zach felt... Happy, like his feet were so light, he didn’t have the weight of the tapes over him it was just he and Alex, Alex and Zach, it sounded... Right.

-

The two sat on the higher level of Monets, “Zach?” Zach looked up from the drink he had, had whipped cream on his face he felt it and licked a bit of it off before grabbing a napkin and wiping the rest of his face off. 

“Yeah?” Blue met brown. Alex was sure that this wasn’t just some stupid moment like the one the two shared on that late Saturday night, it was real. 

“Have you ever-” Alex struggled to find the words, “Questioned yourself, like uh... I don’t know, Sexuality wise, ya know like I thought I was straight with like Jessica and stuff and then... I don’t know what I’m saying-” Zach raised his brow at him.

“No, I get what you’re saying,” Zach nodded, “Haven’t we all?” He wanted to keep it vague, but it sounded douchy.

Alex took a sip of his hot chocolate, “So you have?” His big blue eyes stared straight into the soul of the eyes, just as dark as his the coffee underneath the whipped cream in Zach’s mug.

Zach shrugged, “Yeah, why do you ask?” Alex turned away to drink more of the hot chocolate.

“I don’t know, I just... I’m confused,” He probably stared so hard at the hot chocolate it grew eyes and stared right back at him.

“Alex?” 

“Hm?” He still didn’t look up.

“Who?”

He looked up and starred at Zach which answered the question, a smile spread across his face, “God, why are starring at me like that?” The two laughed, Zach and Alex. Yeah, that sounded right. 

-

When Zach woke up on the bed instead of the floor it felt right, he almost forgot about the stupid bet. “Hey,” Alex said his eyes fluttering open his voice raspy and deep.

“What are we?” Alex groaned turning away from Zach’s question.

“It’s too early for this,” 

“I’ll decide,” Zach chuckled, “We are boyfriends,” Alex turned back over squinting at Zach.

“Yeah okay, now shut the fuck up,” Zach reached his hand over capturing his hips into his long arms, “So we’re that couple?” Alex mumbled. 

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” The raven-haired boy laughed.

“Shut up, dude,” 

“Dude?” The two spent the rest of their morning laughing and talking, their first morning as a couple was... Sweet. 

-

Five months into the bet, the few people that knew about them teased them constantly- in the most loving way possible of course- about how disgustingly cute they were, and they were right, see when they were just best friends they were extremely obnoxious together and everyone knew it, but now they were the type of couple you and you’re boyfriend WISH they could be. 

It was almost their two month anniversary and Zach needed to get rid of that stupid tug at his heart, he wasn’t just a bet to him anymore, he was far more than that, “Alex wait in the car, I’ll be out in a sec,” He directed, Alex just nodded distracted by a game- a kept losing- on his phone, surely he was going to get bored of it.

He stepped on the stairs leading up to the Devil’s house, knocking on the Devil’s front door. The car began to get too hot for Alex’s liking so he had to roll down the window, little did he know everything he was about to hurt would break his heart in two. “Hey buddy,” Bryce smiled wickedly it made Zach want to barf but he kept his cool. “What’s he doing here?” He pointed his chin towards Zachary’s car. 

“That’s what I came here to talk to you about,” The boy was nervous his heart in his throat. 

“You fell for him didn’t you Zachy?” Bryce laughed through his nose, “Or... Oh shit, you’re dating him aren’t you?” 

Zach’s face fell he looked anywhere but Bryce’s face, “I-”

“He was just a bet, I can’t believe it...” He pushed Zach’s shoulder, “You’re a fucking fag,” His smile grew.

“A bet?” Alex was slowly making his way over toward’s Zach and Bryce, “A bet!” Alex’s breathes were short and shallow. 

“No, Alex- I swear-”

Bryce smirked enjoying the show,” Don’t you ever fucking come near me ever again! Fuck you, you’re a piece of shit!” His voice cracked as a single tear fell from his eye. 

“Alex, I’m sorry I was going to tell-”

“I- So, I was just some bet! I was a fucking bet to you!” He exclaimed trying to hobble off he wanted to never see anyone ever again. 

Zach chased after the limping boy, “No, Alex! In the begging you were but Alex.. I love you!” The boy exclaimed all of his cards on the table.

“Prove it. Prove that you love me! Or are you just gonna lie to me again?” He was so angry, bitter. 

“I will! I’ll prove it, whatever it takes.”

Alex slammed his door shut throwing items around his room tears tracking down his face, “I’m a fucking idiot!” He shouted trying to pick up the bear but ultimately failing so he just threw himself onto the excessively large bear sobbing into it as fell asleep, he wore his heart on his sleeve and in return he got burned. 

-

Alex sat with Jessica and Clay during lunch telling them what happened, as more of their group came he told all of them, and then there was Zach, “Oh look,” Ryan said rolling his eyes taking a bite out his salad. 

“Alex- I-”

“Get the fuck out of here Zach,” Clay snarled, he was furious, first he hurt Hannah and now Alex. 

“No, I have to prove something to him.” He shot daggers at the rest of the table.

The lunchroom went silent as Zach began to speak rather loudly, “I, Zach Dempsey, fucked up.” He was scared, terrified even but he couldn’t let the same thing that happened to Hannah happen to Alex, he just couldn’t. “I made a bet with a friend...” He spoke rather biterly, “And I had the five months left of my junior year to make Alex Standall fall in love with me,” He gulped, “I hurt him,” He explained further, “But, I want everyone to know, I wanted to tell him- I was scared, extremely,” He bit his lip, “I was a coward, but I ended up falling in love with the fucking most beautiful,” He looked down towards Alex who looked like a deer in headlights,”Person ever, and I don’t want to hurt him ever again,” He sighed, “So, here I am, just a boy asking for you’re forgivness, I will work for the rest of my life for you to forgive me Alex Standall, I love you,” 

Alex shook his head tearing up, “Fuck you, Zach!” Zach looked taken back, but it’s not like he expected it, “Fuck you for taking my sadness and making so fucking happy okay, I love you!” 

I guess you could say the rest was history.

SnK Chapter 99 Poll Results

The chapter 98 poll closed with 1,751 responses. Thank you to everyone who participated.

RATE THE CHAPTER 1,722 Responses

On the “awful” to “awesome” scale of 1-5, nearly 70% of respondents rated “Guilty Shadow” with a “5″, making it the highest rated chapter since we started polling. Well done, Isayama!

On that day, Marley received a grim reminder... this chapter woke up the obsessed snk fan in me, finally JESUS CHRIST

SNK has always been a wild ride, but I don't believe I've ever been this excited and frustrated that I don't have the next chapter in my hands RIGHT NOW- if only to satisfy the itch of knowing which half-hidden face is who from Paradis. And also to figure out what they've done to Porco, Pieck and Zeke to neutralize them while Eren gives Reiner the most uncomfortable tableside chat.

My heart was pounding throughout the entire chapter. The last time that happened was chapter 84 and I gotta say, I finally feel like this whole Marley arc has been worth it. What an adrenaline rush it's become! Now that's now Attack On Titan is supposed to be. I can't wait to see everybody else again and proceed to reach the climax of the story.

The hype for SNK 100 is too real. Everything will explode

I need Ch100 right now immediately. Waiting another month is going to be torture. In the meantime I hope Porco and Pieck enjoy their time in the pit. If it turns out that Helos is Levi I will eat my own platform boots

It was amazing. Really great story.

I'm so glad this chapter is fake and SnK ended last month with everyone having a huge pizza party!

....is it December yet?

  DID THIS CHAPTER SHOOK YOU? 1,711 Responses

To not be excited by this chapter was simply not an option, but I’ll assume that those who voted “Yes”  are slightly more subdued than the majority of us who shouted “AW YISS”.

omfg hype for next chapter!!! How does Eren not have a leg, it really should've grown back, this doesn't make sense. Why is he even there, I feel like I missed something but it's probably just this manga's bizarre structuring. I've been selling my soul the past few months. There is nothing more to sell.

Kill me now The hype is REAL. I had a feeling issue #100 would be THE BANGER. This issue (#99) however set the stage for the next one. We have potentially Connie and Jean going undercover, we have Willy's solution that is just about to be revealed, the Asian woman's sudden leave, etc. I am really excited to see what will happen next month. Just need to add: seeing Eren's hand cut to threaten Reiner and Falco was such a power move, I had chills all over.

Boy howdy this was crazy I'll tell you what

Holy crap I love isayama. What a genius!

God help me I cannot wait another month

Endgame right here, brothers.

  WHAT SIDE CHARACTER MOMENT DID YOU MOST APPRECIATE? 1,720 Responses

The giant red chunk that wins this question  is the “All of the Above” option with 26.4% of the vote. “Every character with a partially hidden face” was second with 23.8%. There was plenty of excitement around Trapdoor-kun. He came in third with close to 20% of the vote.

I hope the SnK world has a heaven or some shit, because then Bertolt can maybe be finally happy together with his dad at least ;-;

ANNIE IS ALIVE AND FREE CHAPTER 100 HYYYYYYPE

I love moment with Trapdoor-kun/Connie (I hope it's him). He promised Reiner in Utgard Castle that he'll return the favor and I want to see their reunited. Maybe Connie will save Gabi and the other kids in this shitstorm. Please Isayama! Connie needs his personal moment!

  ON THE SCALE FROM “FLUFFY KITTEN” TO “ACTUAL PENNYWISE”, HOW CREEPY WAS EREN IN THIS CHAPTER? 1,727 Responses

Eren’s creep factor was strong! More than 70% of us picked a 4 or 5 on the “Actual Pennywise” scale.

Eren is 100% savage. Damn I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't like him. His meddling works so well with his bitter ass and his sense of entitlement over making all these fuckers taking his freedom away disappear and get their comeuppance (read: the whole world). Fucking human worms.

Eren using Falco as a hostage makes me cry

Eren gave me fucking chills of fear

I'm loving this Eren alignment shift. Lawful Good boy is changing and I am HERE for this.

Eren's "Same reason as you" and "I don't have a choice" are the single most savage moment in the series.

I don't like Eren at all... Poor Reiner

Eren is frickin INSANE

  ON THE SCALE FROM 1 - 420/69, HOW MUCH DID EREN ACTIVATE YOUR HARDENING ABILITIES IN THIS CHAPTER? 1,713 Responses

The creep factor and hobo hair didn’t hurt Eren’s attractiveness for the majority of the fandom since 36.1% would love to be locked in the basement with him right now. The second most popular choice was the extreme opposite. 22.2% selected “ewww no” on the question about Eren’s attractiveness.

why did y'all have to write "Lock me in your basement, Hobo Daddy!"

Protect Reiner Braun You've made me have sexual thoughts about long haired Eren, damn you pollster!!!!

Eren made both my jaw and panties fall straight to the floor. It's finally getting somewhere.

my mom called eren hobo daddy o__O"

Eren being so chilled out and yet so chilling at the same time...how does one being so cold make the room seem a lot hotter than it actually is?!

I want to officially shame Eren for telling Mikasa to cut her hair during training and now he could model for   L'Oréal (I love his hair but he is a hypocrite)

EREN FUCKING JAEGER. I want to say he's cool... but I feel so strangely conflicted. I'm turned on by his loony face but at the same time fucking terrified that it's all going to crumble. He'd grown so much. I can't believe the kid that we used to adore has turned into such a beast.

eren would be a 4/5 if he shaved his facial hair imo

  WHAT WAS EREN’S MOST CHILLING MOMENT? 1,717 Responses

Again with the “All of the above” as top pick. The most popular write in was “Reiner. Sit”. We clearly made a mistake when we forgot to include that.

Reiner. Sit.

His eyes all the time, they're like windows to hell

Everything! Eren was so chilling and bad this chapter, I love love loved it!

The fact that he's still missing a leg, it should've grown back, does he just keep cutting it off?

Messing with the head of an already mentally unstable Reiner

Eren did not come to play. Cutting his hand was a power move and then when he said "same as you." I can't wait to see him transform into a Titan. Reiner wasn't ready for this. He looks like he's gonna pass out.

I never thought i needed psycho!eren and badass!eren in my life. But then i read this chapter and HOOOOOOLY SHIT!

  WHICH OF REINER’S TORTURED FACES WAS YOUR FAVORITE? 1,707 Responses

I’m borrowing a quote from a friend who said, “Reiner had enough panels of his sanity crumbling like pie crust to fill a photo album”. We thought so too and had a hard time limiting ourselves to just these six. The look of horror on page 20 was Reiner’s expression as Eren told him, “I’m the same as you. I didn’t have any other choice.” It was the winner with 44.5% of the voice.

Note to Isayama: If you want to torture a character, hands on the face is the way to go (even when those hands are strangely tiny.)

Don't freak out, Reiner, your buddy Eren has come to save the world just like you've always wanted.

I wonder how bad  will Reiner's strabismus be when Eren ultimately touchs the Bertolt and Annie subject.

Someone please protect Reiner D: (and maybe give him a hug)

ISAYAMA STAHP TORTURING REIGNER!

#stopreinerabuse2017 >:) 

Reiner is the true victim here man

If Reiner didn't have a drinking problem before he sure has one now

I really don't like seeing Reiner looking so scared... It makes me feel so bad and helpless because I can't do anything. ;-;

I’m expecting Reiner to go full insane next chapter. Seriously, he can only be pushed so far!

I absolutely love Reiner's suffering faces :D I also loved how shocked Falco was. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen, that why Eren told him to stay. He wants to save his life. I only wonder what will happen with the other kids.

reiner has baby hands

  CAN YOU PINPOINT THE EXACT MOMENT FALCO’S HEART SHATTERED? 1,700 Responses

This was not a fun chapter for our poor little bean. There was no shortage of moments with him looking on with wide-eyed horror as the situation was unfolding.  His expression on page 35 was the landslide winner. It’s the moment Falco realized Eren must’ve met Reiner during his time on Paradis.

My boy Falco doesn't deserve this.

DONT HURT BABBY FALCO 

Calm the f down Eren! You’re scaring Falco!

Falco is too precious for this messed up world

  WHAT IS RANDO MCSOLDIER WHISPERING TO MADS? 1,709 Responses

We have a poll meme now and don’t think I wont use it! Thank you to the 29.1% of you for playing along. We were a close second. Thank you also to everyone who took the question seriously. One respondent suggested they might be whispering about the fact that all the warriors were missing. I love that thought.

Yes. There's sour cream in Marley.

For the question of what Rambo McSoldier whispered, I'm actually kinda wondering if he's whispering about someone being missing from the crowd. (I.e, Reiner.)

how much farther is my sour cream joke going to go

I do NOT trust Eren one bit and we still do NOT know if there's sour cream. Crazy stuff man.

This wasn't an option for the question about what the soldier was whispering to Mads, but I thought it had to do with that panel where the guy on the rooftop said to "report it" no matter how small it is. The Marley soldier was relaying that report, whatever it is.

The lack of concern over the disappearance of all the Warriors from the audience is alarming...unless it's part of their plan, which removing the fighters from the crowd sounds like something inline with what Paradis would be attempting if they're about to hijack the play.

  CHARACTER ALLEGIANCES! WHICH SIDE DO YOU THINK EACH PERSON IS ULTIMATELY SUPPORTING?

So much uncertainty here! We are truly divided over Willy, Zeke and Kiyomi’s loyalties.

I do not think that Zeke would be on Paradis side, he had that chance and discarded it as an idiot.

The Warhammer Titan seems to know so very much about Paradis and the truth (and Eren's name) that I think it's no coincidence he looks like an adult long hair Armin.

Willy was such a sweet pie in this chapter. I wish he joined the Team Paradise.

Why did the Asian lady wish Willy good luck and then immediatly got away from the play as fast as she could? The plot thickens...

Everyone need to calm tf down and stop being huge mega douchebags on the whole warriors vs paradis sides of the fandom Ima lose my goddamn mind let yams tell the fucking story. This fandom is killing me far more effectively than yams ever could, crying Reiner or no!

The Asian lady and the rest of the Azumabito definitely know something, as they didn’t stay for Willy’s play, and she said that “she hoped he’d play his role ‘safely’”

What is Willy's game? With so many important people there, it is setup for a massacre. But, why tell the truth beforehand? There is a part of me thinking that it is all a setup to Willy simply saying we're all going back to Paradis.

  WHAT ALLIANCE DO YOU THINK IS MOST LIKELY? 1,697 Responses

EZ and REZ feelz so strong! A sizable percentage think Kiyomi is also a part of the alliance.

I love/hate how much Isayama plays with us (?).. this is the worst who is with  who and why and when and how is it its 99 chapters and i am stiff as confused as when i watched the first anime chapter in 2013...

Yeah, I still believe in Reiner + Zeke + Eren alliance. Grim Reminder won't happen and I will be a happy, happy fan." İt's amazing!

I think Willy is working with Armin, whereas, Eren is working with Zeke. Isayama did say they were going to split.

I think Zeke is helping Eren for the time being but I also think it is only a temporary alliance. He will double-cross Paradis like he did the Restorationists and Marley before the end, and he will be a sizable end-game threat to both Paradis and Marley.

"Lady" Kiyomi of the Azmabito family seemed like she was teasing Willy before his performance, since he was so nervous. But then, she said "you're very brave. And you know our family very well", she seemed like she was threatening Willy

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CRAZY EREN. I think he's gonna offer an alliance with Reiner so they can both save the Eldians. I hope the SC will appear next chapter!

I'm willing to bet 'The Owl' Eren knew Willy and the Asian chick when he was still living.

  WHY WERE PORCO AND PEICK SEPARATED? 1,715 Responses

62% believe Porco and Pieck were captured to keep them from meddling. An even larger majority believe Zeke was in on it. Hmmmm....

about porco and pieck. I think they will be locked somewhere. But not to take their titan. Well, it's good opportunity to take their titan but... who wants do that anyway? Jean, connie? I think not.

PLEASE SAVE PIECK

"We done fucked up" -peick and porco

My favourite panel is Pieck looking at 'springer, not a shower' whilst falling into the sin bin. Wow, she's perfect.

Porko remains oblivious

  WAS ZEKE PART OF THE PLOT TO SEPARATE PORCO AND PEICK? 1,701 Responses

That would be a solid “yes”.

Zeke does seem to comply with too much questionable activity to not be working secretly with someone. He doesn't question being separated from Pieck and Porco, he's the only one not facing the guard that summons them, he let - encouraged- Reiner to go with Falco right as the ceremony started, and the baseball mitt Eren had likely had something to do with him. The Zekeret is still a wild card though so it makes all this hard to pinpoint.

  WHO IS THE SOLDIER THAT TOSSED PORCO AND PIECK INTO THE BALL PIT? 1,691 Responses

Nearly 80% of the fandom thinks Connie is  parading around Marley as a very tall Marleyan soldier. The write in responses on this were insane!

A pikupork shipper

Hajime Isayama

The Plothelping Titan

If Pieck knows him, the most probable option is Connie, buuuut... Is he even taller than Porco? He used to be really short, has he grown up?

When I first read the chapter and found similiarities between Connie and the trap-kun soldier I was like "what the fuck?!" And than I thought Connie being that soldier would be absolutely LIT.

I don't think any of the background characters are people we know. We saw how Isayama does that with Amputee-Kun, he appeared several chapters before the official reveal and there was no doubt once it was done. Trapdoor-kun, Helos Cosplayer, anyone else? Nope. as expected of pieck, she figured out the soldier was an impostor

Personally I really hate how people are making these predictions and analyzing details like chin shape in attempt to recognize him. We simply do not see enough of his face to tell who it is so it's pointless that people are arguing about it so vehemently. It could be Connie. I could be Levi. It most definitely isn't Armin. It could be a whole lot of people but right now at least half of the people will be wrong about it so arguing is going to get us nowhere. End of rant.

Zofia from the future, who traveled through paths

  DID PIECK PASS A MESSAGE TO THE SOLDIER SHE HUGGED? 1,717 Responses

Yes. As expected.    WHO IS THE HELOS COSPLAYER? 1,703 Responses

Jean trounced this poll question with 64.4% of the vote. “No one important” was second with 18.4%. 8% are hopeful it’s Levi.

A Majestic Stallion

A member of Paradis Team, but it is too early to say who

Jean dressed up as Levi aka the REAL Helos (Deja Vu).

Kenny "The Ripper" Ackerman rides again!

I want the Helos cosplayer to be Hange, but if it's not, Armin would be interesting.

  WHAT ARE YOU MOST HOPEFUL FOR IN CHAPTER 100? GO NUTS AND CHOOSE AS MANY AS YOU WANT. 1,718 Responses

1,161 (67.6%) Seeing the rest of the SC

1,134 (66%) Annie. Please. It’s been 84 years,

1,027 (59.8%) Information about character loyalties

1,013 (59%) Learning Willy’s “one solution”

875 (50.9%) The Warhammer Titan

788 (45.9%) Eren wreaking havoc

781 (45.5%) More Reiner suffering

747 (43.5%) RIP everyone sitting in the audience at the play

652 (38%) Grim Reminder

565 (32.9%) Action with the Asian Clan

534 (31.1%) Overwhelmed Falco turning into a falcon and flying away

Seeing the rest of the Survey Corps is our dearest wish, followed by a sighting of Annie. The most common write-in was simply “Levi”.

RIP Gabi and everyone else in the audience. But mostly Gabi.

I'm saying it now - there won't be another Grim Reminder. It would be the worst possible move to make. However, I can see some sort of staged assault happening.

What if chapter 100 is just an elaborate reenactment of the finale of shrek two where shrek and the gang ambush the castle with a collosal gingerbread man whilst fairy godmother sings. Honestly I would pay good money to see willy start singing 'i need a hero' with a choir behind him make it happen isayama I believe in you.

I am going to sell my soul for chapter 100

All the pieces are being set in place. It is about to begin. We don't know for sure what will happen but things are about to get wild. Prepare the feelingstrain cause we're all hopping aboard

  HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT TO RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL CAST ON PARADIS? 1,712 Responses

No matter how great a chapter is, we remain desperate for the original cast. Last month 34.5% select “5” on the poll. This month that number was up to 38.1%.

And gimme some of that paradis crew daddy yamyams ✊️💦✊️💦😩

I'm severely lacking in Ackervitaminz

I'm tired of Marley to be honest. I hope next chapter shakes me, because this chapter didn't at all.

i still wanna know what the little miserable gremlin man is doing and my badass child Hanji

I loved the Marley chapters, but GOD I NEED MY PARADIS CREW THE SNEAK PEAKS ARE KILLING ME

while I haven't really been in any rush to return to the main cast, I'll be really excited to learn that they've all infiltrated Marley in this way, and for some final smack down to begin soon.

It's just a setup chapter I just want my Mikasa fix.

GIVE ME MIKASA AND ARMIN  BACK. I MISSED MY BABIES. I WOULD SELL BOTH OF MY KIDNEYS TO SEE THEM WELL AND HAPPY AGAIN. JUST GIVE ME THAT WISH ON CHAPTER 100 ISAYAMA. AM I ASKING TOO MUCH?

  WHICH CHARACTERS DO YOU GENERALLY ENJOY THE MOST 1,717 Responses

"Where do you primarily discuss the series" giving 4chan the silent treatment?  Although I guess what they do doesn't really count as discussing.

  EXTRA DANCC

It's about to be lit fam

NERD-SQUAD TO THE RESCUE! Nothing but goosebumps for that entire chapter thankyou.

If Helos is actually a lie created by Marley and Tybur, then was the devil of all the earth a lie too? Or did it exist in reality? Will it return? And how the hell could Tybur know of Kenny and Uri sitting in front of that lake? Does he have some spies on Paradis? All this stuff is just becoming more and more fishy...

I want everyone to die.

Is it just me or did Reiner lose weight? Not aroused. Isayama sensei please try harder.

Pieck grabbing Zophia's shoulders. 100%. A+. As expected.

Okay, so, we've been speculating like mad on how Eren arrived in Marley. Reiner asked the same thing. And Isayama, through Eren's words, answered us: "is that really what you want to ask first?" LIKE DAMN, at this point I'm sure Isayama reads our blogs. At least he answered the "Why", kinda...

for god sake. reiner's suffering have to stop TTTTT-TTTTT

Bertl deserve this world.

Isayama has officially changed his icon to Reiner. Protagonist confirmed. It was Reiner's story all along. We were just along for the ride. The very traumatic ride.

I love the parallel between Reiner and that old man that hanged himself back in Paradis. I'm quite sure that Reiner, like the hanged-man, is looking for judgement. Cool to see how Bert nightmares played a big role in the end.

sc stans are insane I wonder how bad  will Reiner's strabismus be when Eren ultimately touchs the Bertolt and Annie subject.

needs more porco

Is Eren gonna sacrifice himself for the sake of saving the world as a scapegoat? Will his death be the only meaningful one in the whole series??

I hope to God Armin has a different haircut.

Learning that we're getting ova of Lost Girls and reading this chapter was the best way to start my week. I love you I wish Isayama hadn't made Reiner so hot. Too hard to focus on everything else going on =\

if reiner wants to get judged maybe he should look to judge judy for judgement, that'd be lit

I love my shifter kids, but they're fucked.

I don’t personally think there will be a Grim reminder 2.0, Paradis people, ie Armin, Hanji and all, usually don’t fight fire with more fire, they plan better shenanigans. Also, how they would be considered better than marleyans if they did the same stuff? They won’t play this low, they also know that Grim reminder™️ Is everything but effective.

Isayama why it's great that we have all those informative, descriptive chapters but something need to happen. I hope that next chapter will be full of action.

SHOW ME MIKASA AND LET HER AND EREN  BE MARRIED. And let annie be alive and well and dont make reiner any sadder. #chap100 No

Soldier, who are you? Willy, what are you really trying say? Eren, will you start causing some trouble? Levi, come out!" AAAAAAAAAAAaa!!!!

Pieck was actually exactly right! I always loved her design and oppressed but trying her best herb merchant aesthetic. So cool that she saved the lives of Reiner and Zeke, her influence on character relationships and the plot.

In RtS I wanted Reiner dead. Half to end his suffering, half to be vindicated for the things he'd done, but I guess it was Berty Beetle's turn.

I miss Levi so much, it's been such a long time since we've seen him and all I want is for him to keep his promise to Erwin and obliterate Zeke.  I can see him now, sitting with his arms crossed as Zeke enters the room.  "Been a while, you piece of shit.  Not so tough now when you're not ripping a bunch of people in half with rocks, eh?"  He cracks his knuckles.  "I will destroy you.  I will make it hurt.  Because you killed Erwin Smith and I promised him, I *promised him* that I would end this fight for him." Ahhhh please Isayama. <3

CHAOS FOR THE CHAOS GOD The slow build has been so worth it, we're all going to hell and I can't wait

Annie is alive. That shouldn't be a point of discussion anymore,

Please make my children happy, they suffered enough

I really think Jean is the Helos cosplayer because of face/mouth shape. That might be wishful thinking though :') Also DAMN EREN REALLY IS HOBO DADDY

ISAYAMA CAN YOU PLEASE DRAW BERTL FAMILY OR PHOTO OF HOOVER HOUSE OR WHAT SO I CAN REST IN PEACE I WANNA BERTL AGAIN I DONT CARE WITH OTHERS 

I just want to say that the chapter 99 pre release megathread on /r/ShingekiNoKyojin was one of the best things to ever happen, and i'm proud to be a part of it.

Now i just want to see jean What if we're all just too hopeful and in reality the helos cosplayer and trapdoor-kun are just normal people. If Annie isn’t coming back I’m rioting honestly. Also where TF is mikasa?!

I LOVE PIECK SO MUCH she is becoming one of my fave characters. Also hopefully nothing happens to cause Reiner’s mental state to become worse than it is right now. CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT CHAPTER I think the Asian woman is Mikasa. My evidence to support this claim is that after she talked to Willy, she said ‘let’s go’ to her body guards. As if she knows what’s going on.

Seeing Pieck being smart and quick-witted made me like her even more. I'd be very sad if she ends up being killed or if Porco and her never truly meet the original main cast. Give us those warriors/soldiers interactions Isayama.

Annie...please...it has been too long now...

Regarding Eren he ackwonledged that Reiner and co. were just clueless kids trying to save the world when they destroyed the Wall. And he is stating that he as well has been forced in this role. I think he is trying to bring Reiner to his side as well as to remove a Warrior (and Falco) from the stage where things will soon go wild.

This shit was lit lit lit!!! I need war!

If the marley arc was a dubstep song, this chapter was the part where the song builds up in speed and frequency and ends right before it levels off and the beat subsequently drops. Ya feel? Warriors, come out to plaaaaay.

IMO PIECK IS ON EREN'S SIDE AND SHE ACTED IN FRONT OF PORCO

I want to know who works with who (especially ZEKE), how they arrived in Marley, I want the SC but also I really love the Warriors, asdfghjkl I really don't know what to expect but I love the way Isayama keeps us on this subtle line between ""OMG"" and ""WTF MAN"". I want some answers!  AND I DEFINITELY WANT ANNIE BACK

I hope Sasha is in Marley too. She needs pizza.

Too few panels of Marco's death. 😠

i miss zeke memes

PATHS

I love the art in the recent chapters. I will forgive slow pacing for good art.

Karina is a bitch

Isayama give Reiner a break or kill him already, end the suffering pls

And lastly, the Rick and Morty copypasta meme made it's way into our poll. I laughed!

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Attack on Titan. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Eren's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Attack on Titan truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Zeke's existential catchphrase "As expected of Pieck 👉😶👉," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hajime Isayama's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Reiner and Historia tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Thank you also to those left nice comments about the poll. We appreciate it!

Eheheheheh. Specs 10:12 pm *the dragon blinks slowly* That's. Faked his death? I... Oh my. ((ugh I hate this part.

Then again, usually us dragons... deal with problems more directly. I suppose we don't really have a chance to get to "faking" death. Tarantulas 10:14 pm *shakes the leg, off with you* Swoop 10:14 pm *squawks* Magnum Ace 10:14 pm He couldn't, not without endangering Owner, and coach Windchill 10:15 pm *Hand shoots up.* Swoop!

We had to stop him from jumping off the balcony. Scavenger's scoop is broken. So's the TV. And several stairs. And several of your cameras. He's welded a fort out of berths in the corner of the the berth room. He refuses to come out. There's no way we're going to get him to go to work today, and Scavenger can't with his injury, which means Hook is going to be out fixing Scavenger, and all this has riled up whatever's hurting Mixmaster's fuel tank, which leaves Long Haul and me, and Long Haul isn't going to go in if the rest don't.» ItsyBitsySpyers 11:07 pm *...............Pit.* Tarantulas 11:07 pm (( ok but what if windchill used https://img.wonderhowto.com/img/14/73/63572489362819/0/fix-car-dents-8-easy-ways-remove-dents-yourself-without-ruining-paint.w1456.jpg

Just to clarify. Windchill 11:10 pm Any and all of the above? FakeProwl 11:11 pm @Soundwave «... Actually, I suppose "one of the team had an nervous breakdown due to prison surveillance and the rest of the team is dealing with the resultant injuries and fallout" is a perfectly valid excuse all by itself, so never mind, that part's sorted.» Tarantulas 11:12 pm Fair. Count me as a yes, then. Windchill 11:12 pm *He knows the Shrek version better.* *Tragic.* If you say so. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:13 pm *Now looking away from Prowl. He'd thought the Constructicons were made of sterner stuff. Expected some sort of aggressive confrontation, perhaps.*

(txt): ...Expectation: Bonecrusher gives appropriate respect, in future. Insults, insinuations, pranks: unwanted.

(txt): Soundwave repairs property damages, delivers appropriate work leave excuse. Bonecrusher watch: ended. Hook's medical supplies: replaced.

*Finally glancing back.*

(txt): ...What wrong, Mixmaster? ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm *Oh. Well, it seems Prowl figured out the excuse himself. That's the trouble with working his thoughts into text, he supposes.* FakeProwl 11:15 pm *Destroying furniture and surveillance equipment isn't aggressive enough?*

@Soundwave «"Appropriate respect"? What, did he do something to you first?» ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm [[...He did not know you were a 'yes', Tarantulas. Consider that another demonstration request.]] Tarantulas 11:16 pm I didn't say which part I was saying 'yes' to, goodness. There was the option of ANY. Windchill 11:16 pm Well, technically. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:16 pm [[His interest remains.]] Tarantulas 11:16 pm *huffs* Windchill 11:16 pm If you can sing then it follows that you must sing on occasion, or else that's unproven. And if you sing well, then you can sing. Some of those are mutually inclusive. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:18 pm *Directed at HIM. Not inanimate objects.*

@Prowl: (txt): Affirmative. Labeled [][][]sheet metal[][][], implied Soundwave: interface voyeur, subject: multiverse inhabitants, permission status: none. Long before, assisted false Prowl interface message delivery. Tarantulas 11:18 pm If the logic statement is A or B or C, and I answer yes, any one or pair or all could be true, so the mutual inclusion isn't a trouble. FakeProwl 11:19 pm @Soundwave «... You thought to refute the claim that you were a voyeur who watches people without their permission by... continuously watching him without his permission?» Windchill 11:19 pm Obviously, hence there being no real point in arguing a distinction, as there isn't much of one between them. Tarantulas 11:20 pm There's no point fussing though - let's just say I can sing, I do sing, and I'm not objective enough about my own voice to know whether it's done well or not. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:21 pm @Prowl: (txt): If that, insisted, supposed treatment: delivered. Now, true difference: known. Windchill 11:21 pm *Luckily, his face is still planted on the floor and his eye roll remains hidden. WHY NOT JUST SAY THAT THEN, it's so much easier.* Kill me softly... Tarantulas 11:21 pm (( sw u sound so petty rn and i love it FakeProwl 11:21 pm @Soundwave «I am afraid you have thoroughly convinced him you're an even worse voyeur than he'd suspected.» FakeProwl 11:22 pm @Soundwave «Also, a stalker, and a vague undefined threat to his life. Which I doubt is at all objectionable from your perspective, but from mine makes things difficult.» Windchill 11:23 pm *GRUNTS and picks himself up...to sit on his knees.* *Wipes his face in case it's dirty or drooly.* *Drool: unconfirmed.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:25 pm *Hand flick.*

@Prowl: (txt): Irritating. Acceptable belief, if future vocalizer control: excellent; rumor spread likelihood: low, now observance abilities: understood.

*And if Bonecrusher understands that Soundwave is a vague, undefined threat, then he might be able to use that if they ever turn on Prowl.*

(txt): ...However, Prowl: important. Continued over-surveillance: ended, per prior promise. Windchill 11:26 pm Anyway. Singing's all well and good.

We can repair the damage ourselves. Except to the TV—but he destroyed it because he thought it was bugged from the game.

Only I have the power. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:32 pm *On the one hand, he's pleased that his plan to cause a little scare worked so well. On the other hand, they're being ridiculous.

FakeProwl 11:32 pm *You mistake Bonecrusher for somebody bright enough to figure that out.* Tarantulas 11:33 pm *looks back at chill* What, the power to thoroughly embarrass yourself? No thank you. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:33 pm *Whether Soundwave can twerk or not is unknown. Nobody's convincing him to either say it or try. Not in public, anyway.* Windchill 11:34 pm I'm too powerful to suffer embarrassment. That doesn't happen to me. If I twerk, I OWN IT. Along with everything else that brings shame to lesser mortals, such as yourself. *He's joking, but it's also true: he feels no shame.* Windchill 11:36 pm *His straight faced facade breaks, and he snickers.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:36 pm *...For a split-second, Soundwave was tempted to be one last bit of vicious and ask if Bonecrusher needed to be put under a safety watch.*

*He gives no sign of that nasty little urge, burying it back where it came from. None of that, now.

FakeProwl 11:58 pm *That wasn't a satisfactory answer, was it?* Sorry. I'm tired. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:58 pm [[He can think of worse.]] Windchill 11:59 pm So can I, but it still sucks to be you. Tarantulas 11:59 pm *waves windchill off with a spider leg* Yesterday Windchill 11:59 pm Not like me. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:00 am *Soundwave taps his visor again. Sorry. No sucking, as far as the public knows. Once more: no mouth.* Windchill 12:00 am *He will not be shooed before he's ready by LESSER MORTALS.* Sucks to be you. *He waves slowly, in an arc over his head like the rays of the rising sun. For the drama.* Good night, you shameful suckers. You shame-filled doughnuts. So creamy. So satisfying. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:02 am [[Goodnight.]] *He's not going to remark on the other part. That's just strange.* Windchill 12:03 am *That's because you have no sense of humour.* Tarantulas 12:03 am What do you even know about eating donuts? ...Don't answer that, just. On with you. *another spider leg wave* Windchill 12:03 am Don't tell me what to do, I'm already going. But, maybe if you ask nicely. Tarantulas 12:03 am Please. Windchill 12:04 am I'll stay. Okay. *sits down.* Tarantulas 12:04 am *oh primus is he serious* *who is he kidding. windchill's always serious* Windchill 12:04 am *Always.* *Especially right now.* I feel so wanted. So appreciated. Thanks. Tarantulas 12:05 am This'd be a lovely time for a bridge to just. Spontaneously open below Windchill's now-undented aft. Windchill 12:05 am You think? *Blips out of existence.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:06 am *He's not going to do that. Windchill hasn't broken any rules.* *Well. He has before. But not right now.* Windchill 12:08 am *That WOULD be disparate treatment, but he's used to that. As much as he is used to not getting rules updates or being made accountable for other people hitting him, but it matters not. That's his life, and he's gone now.* Tarantulas 12:09 am *mmff. back to prowl.* I'm sure you are. *mostly genuine-sounding* FakeProwl 12:10 am *Prowl can't read tone, genuine-sounding or otherwise. He's 73% certain that's sarcasm.* *... Quietly tries to shrug off Tarantulas's arms and slide back into his prior seat.* Tarantulas 12:11 am *what happens if he tries to keep hold of him tho* FakeProwl 12:12 am *He'll stop for a few seconds. And then quietly try again.* Tarantulas 12:15 am Come now, if you're going to ignore me, you might as well try to placate me by sitting on my lap while you do it. FakeProwl 12:16 am *Right. Okay. He's not going to sit around and take that. He's going to go incorporeal to slide out of Tarantulas's arms.* Tarantulas 12:16 am *stiffens up* FakeProwl 12:16 am I wasn't ignoring you. I said I'm tired. Tarantulas 12:18 am You can be both, you know. FakeProwl 12:18 am I'm not both. I'm tired. Tarantulas 12:19 am I /heard/ you. I said so. Primus. *glances at soundwave* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:20 am *What? Why is he being glanced at? Looks from one to the other with mild confusion.* FakeProwl 12:21 am *... What does he say to that?* *...... Nothing, he supposes.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:22 am This message has been removed. ((get out of there random brackets)) Tarantulas 12:24 am *proceeds to get up* Apparently you're still conscious enough to run your avatar and stop by Dancitron, but I won't stress you any more than that by asking that you acknowledge my existence. That'd be petty. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:24 am *...Hold on, now.*

[[One moment.]] FakeProwl 12:24 am ... I came by to conduct necessary business. It has been concluded. I should leave. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:25 am [[Do not blame Prowl for being tired. It was concerning a matter he himself failed to correct.]] FakeProwl 12:25 am Don't. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:26 am [[...And he does not understand this - this. Tarantulas agreed.]] Tarantulas 12:29 am Prowl is tired. "Business" is concluded. And clearly I'm not needed here, so - *starts to huff, but just sighs and lets his shoulders fall.* It's of no consequence. I'll speak with you both another time. FakeProwl 12:29 am *... Disappears.* Tarantulas 12:30 am *he's trying not to let this get to him. he's trying. he had a good time watching the movie, damnit, and now - well.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:30 am *Primus damn it all. What HAPPENED? One moment he was nudging Prowl's attention away from a settled matter so Tarantulas would have time tonight and suddenly it'd become some sort of minor spat?* [[You may stay longer if you wish. If you do not, then he accepts your farewell for the night.]] Tarantulas 12:33 am ...I would stay, but there's really no reason to, is there. Hyeh. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:34 am *And he doesn't understand the "don't", either. What was he supposed to do, NOT take responsibility for what'd held Prowl's attention up when something about that had spawned all of this?*

[[That is not his decision.]] Tarantulas 12:37 am No, it might not be, but - nevermind. *walks off abruptly, small wave behind him* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:38 am *Soundwave watches Tarantulas go and shakes his helm. Well. That was... something. He's done with the day. Upstairs and straight to recharge for him.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:45 am *Except that it doesn't come as easily as usual. Not understanding bothers him as it is. Somehow, the added "don't" makes it worse.*

*Well, he's not going anywhere else, and neither is Prowl. Quick comm, on the off-chance he might actually get an answer.*

(txt): Clarify: [][][]don't[][][]. FakeProwl 12:48 am *It takes a moment for Prowl to reply.* «What?» *And a moment longer to figure out what it's about.* «Oh. Moment. Gotta move.» *Please hold for about a minute.* FakeProwl 12:54 am *Right. He's back. Had to get out on the balcony. Prowl doesn't know whether being in comm contact with Soundwave would upset Bonecrusher but he wasn't going to keep sitting next to Ft. Berth and find out.* «There is one and only one reason that I told you what happened in here: because you have access to our cameras and a duty to monitor them, and would have very shortly found out anyway. What happened in here is absolutely nobody's business but Bonecrusher's, and it most certainly is not Tarantulas's business.» «The reason I told him I was tired is because that is the PRECISE amount of information about the situation I wanted him to know.» ItsyBitsySpyers 1:01 am @Prowl: (txt): Detail offer never intended. If demanded, suitable alternative explanation given. ((fucking enter key too early)) ItsyBitsySpyers 1:04 am (txt): Tarantulas truth promise never given. Addition: Telepathic permission not received. Prowl reason: unheard, unidentified. If argument source: Soundwave, blame: absorbed, misunderstanding severity: split, reduced. Potential Tarantulas threat: reduced.

(txt): In future, silence retained unless addressed. FakeProwl 1:07 am «... Do you think Tarantulas was becoming a threat?» *Oh, Primus, Prowl is too tired for this. He's too tired for this. Let him sleep and never wake up.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:10 am (txt): Not within moment. Perhaps if future reconciliation: failure. Unknown. Personal choice: minimize failure, potential outcome. Situation view correction, clarification: accepted. Additional details not required. FakeProwl 1:11 am «...... Do you think future reconciliation failure is a significant risk.» ItsyBitsySpyers 1:17 am (txt): Uncertain. Volatile personality: non-standard personal companion choice. Personal preference: caution.

(txt): Prowl Mesothulas-Tarantulas familiarity: higher. If reconciliation: expected, expectation: adopted. That, all known now. FakeProwl 1:18 am *Too late, Prowl's been infected with doubt.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:18 am *Damn it.* FakeProwl 1:19 am «...... Was I that bad.» ItsyBitsySpyers 1:19 am (txt): Bad? FakeProwl 1:20 am «At— At... Whatever I did. Wrong.» ItsyBitsySpyers 1:25 am (txt): Prowl: not bad.

(txt): Curious action: slide away after Tarantulas agreement. Not understood. FakeProwl 1:25 am «... What.» *After Tarantulas what? To what? When? He rubs his helm as he digs back in the audio files.* FakeProwl 1:28 am *It takes him a moment to figure out what Soundwave read as an agreement.* «He wasn't agreeing. That was sarcasm.» *Beat.* «... WASN'T that sarcasm? Was it NOT? Was Tarantulas being SINCERE? Oh, DAMMIT—» *The comm mutes. Give Prowl a second.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:29 am *...Well, he THOUGHT it sounded sincere. Now he's the one infected with doubt. But he'll give Prowl a second.* FakeProwl 1:30 am *He unmutes the comm, but he doesn't make the mistake of saying anything else. Apparently he's no good at that tonight.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:36 am *It takes a couple of seconds of background noise to work out that it's back on and Prowl is being silent.*

(txt): ...Perhaps recharge: helpful. Cell situation: stressful. Stressed Prowl social limits: strained, restricted.

*He learned that months before, when he got snapped at.*

(txt): Evening: stress addition. Within ability, minor solution: rest, peace, quiet. Afterward, examination: easier.

(txt): Soundwave gives, if wanted. FakeProwl 1:41 am *Huff. Stressed. You think? You think, Soundwave? You think Prowl hasn't realized he's been dealing with not only his own stress of being locked up with five people he hates but also the mental weight of their gradual disillusionment with him AND the nervous twitchy mind-picking fear pouring out of Bonecrusher AND the traces of Bonecrusher's fear bouncing through the other Constructicons' minds AND the fear and guilt and pain over learning what happened to Dominus AND the fact that all this is going on while part of him wants to shut off and never turn back on do you think thAT PROWL DOESN'T KNOW HE'S IN A STRESSFUL SITUATION AND THAT IT'S TEARING HIS MIND'S ABILITY TO FUNCTION TO SHREDS, SOUNDWAVE, DO YOU REALLY THINK HE DOESN'T—*

«... Yes. Reasonable.» *It's a good thing he didn't give Soundwave permission for telepathy tonight.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:51 am *Soundwave ends the call the second he understands that those are the only two words to be spoken.*

*Mostly because he's getting the growing and somewhat uncomfortable sense he shouldn't have carried on with his horrible surveillance game for so long. Maybe at all? He doesn't know. He has the right to be treated with respect, and the fear version of it is the only thing that's ever seemed to stick with Constructicons. But the more he thinks about it, the more he wonders if the shared connection means Prowl's secretly been afraid of his watching too. And a tiny part of the reason he took the job and restricted camera access so severely was to make sure Prowl would be SAFE. How is that safe?*

*All this mess in the prison cell, and with individual mechs, and how this is going to affect city rebuilding process, and partial responsibility for this business with Tarantulas, and--*

*...He really DOESN'T want to hurt Prowl. He would rather eat a scraplet. But what is he supposed to call all of this, if not that?*

*Well. Soundwave's still not going to get much recharge, but now it'll be because he's doing a very different kind of thinking.* FakeProwl 1:58 am This message has been removed. FakeProwl 2:06 am *... Soundwave hung up on him. No goodbye, no nothing. Now he was upset with Prowl, too? What had Prowl done wrong there? Was he too terse? Had he failed to filter out his anger? He wasn't angry because of Soundwave, he was just tired, he really WAS tired, it wasn't just an excuse—it was just an excuse, wasn't it? Had he sounded angry earlier tonight, when he was explaining to Soundwave what happened? He hadn't meant to. But had he come on too strong? Had he been dropping a hint about Prowl's attitude, when he'd mentioned that Prowl's social limits were restricted when he was stressed? Had Soundwave been telling Prowl he was being offensive? Had Prowl missed it? Should he call back and apologize? Had he already missed his chance to apologize?*

*He sits on the balcony, and pulls his knees to his chest. He stays there the rest of the night.*

[shslshortie]

Okay I'm going to make a post because I can't deal with everything that got asked/shat out my way

I am sorry for this rant, but I am legit ready to leave tumblr again. Like I forgot why I hated it so much, but lord is this an unhealthy environment for so many reasons. Mainly, because of discourse/call out culture. And I'm obviously not talking about being "PC" or anything, but just being an all around mean spirited person if anyone says anything that either 1) doesn't agree with you/your views/your fandom, 2) if anything is even slightly false or not entirely fact-checked, or 3) goes against most popular opinions without writing an entire graduate-level thesis about why you believe your opinion/view/observation is valid. Like if you want to complain or voice an opinion about anything, or even joke about something that you think is funny, you could very likely almost immediately be called out or even be sent WAVES of hate that usually is completely undeserved. Especially since people are hiding behind a screen of anonymity or at least behind an online persona, they don't think about the person on the receiving end of it. They don't think how their mean spirited comments or backlash could effect them mentally, and they don't even stop to think what else could be going on in their lives. Yesterday, (was it yesterday? I think it was yesterday, but GOD was it a long fucking day if it was) I made some posts after recapping through the Rost. Cup after I watched each medalist's short and long, as well as all the US skaters, big names, and for the men and ladies, almost all 11 skaters honestly. I love figure skating, and NO, unlike a lot of people wrongfully assumed, am not a part of the "fandom" and did not get into it because of YOI. Was a passion reignited from like a barbeque level flame to a bonfire with YOI's help? Yes. But would it probably have gone to a similar level with the Olympic season going into full swing? Highly likely. But anyways, I made some posts because I wanted to voice some observations, complaints, and things I thought were funny because tumblr is the only place I ever really rant/voice theories/talk about a lot of my interests, since I don't have any irl friends who are interested in almost half of the things I am. So, tumblr is usually the place that I dump these feelings/thoughts. Sure, one of them was a little off-color, and posted without thinking, but after about an hour (and like 3-4 replies I think), I looked back on it, and realized it didn't need to be posted out there, even if I didn't mean it to be mean. Does this mean I owed every single person who "called me out" for being uninformed, or for being mean, or for being whatever the hell I am a reply? No. Did I know that some things were answered over Twitter, or weibo (sp?) or Reddit, or whatever other gd social media that I don't use? No. Does that man I am uniformed and spreading lies or whatever? I don't think so, and that doesn't make me a fucking villain. I also deleted it, because I realized I was wrong. End of story, part 1. But then, the figure skating fandom found some of my posts/commentary/rants. (god forbid they somehow find this and attack me ALL OVER AGAIN, except for y'all that were part of this whole issue. I hope y'all see this, because it's not like I blocked you. Except for one tumblr user who blocked me because of my post? Like you do you, except don't reblog my post and block me so I can't see what you said, presumably about how I am a terrible person). And apparently 1) if you insult/don't like/say Y***** H**** didn't do his best/were disappointed in him, or if you like the person who won over him more... Then you deserve to die. And 2) if you even make a post about YOI or other anime, you are a fake fan who knows nothing. And 3) even mirroring almost the exact words of sports (specifically figure skating) commentators in your posts means nothing? Like it OBVIOUSLY means that you are making up bullshit to hate on skaters that are popular and are misinformed, right??? Or if you say one thing that was similar to an APPARENTLY problematic broadcast group, that nothing (including any commentary from official other broadcasts, because GUESS WHAT: it's hard to find recordings of all of the programs and exhibitions with English commentary, and there are usually 3-4 networks that have it, and SO MANY people upload different ones to YouTube) else you say matters or has any merit. I haven't even read all of the hate mail and submissions I received from this debacle. My mental health can't take it. I literally woke up for school the next morning, saw my notifications and couldn't get myself to stop crying from the anger/upsetness/trauma/depressed thoughts that bubbled up with all of it, and I couldn't even get myself to go to class because I was so shaken. Like visibly, physically shaken, to the point where I couldn't think straight and I literally had tremors from how upset and unstable it made me feel. Tumblr should be a place where I can voice my opinion on something I am passionate about without all this hate. I literally have no other place. Right now, irl, I got dragged into drama (not mine, I swear, I was just a witness and got pulled into the mess) with my honor society, and the girl who started it all is trying to pit the entire organization against me. I can't post anything on my finsta, and God forbid I even tried to post anything in Facebook. (Not like I would). I am already in a very dark place mentally and emotionally because of the trauma this is putting me through, and how unwanted, useless and disgusting everybody is making me feel. I shouldn't be getting that from strangers who just decided to make my life even more miserable on top of it. Legitimately, out of the 30-40 comments/asks/replies/submissions I recieved, only one person even tried to realize where I was coming from or to educate me on what I had done wrong or missed in my analysis. But some of their wording just mirrored all the hate l had recieved, or even other things I had been told in real life that just made me cry even harder and I still can't bring myself to reply to even the person who was civil. My one big point to anyone who sees this is (besides don't be a dick/cyber bully/create and stir up unnecessary discourse) is don't assume that people don't know what they're talking about? Or don't assume that they are fake fans? And don't make people spell every letter of their opinion out for you in a 12 page thesis if it doesn't comply with the tumblr norm. Cuz here are some fun facts about me that I don't normally publicize / post about on tumblr: Yes, I am an anime fan, but Jesus Christ I love/am a huge fan of WAY more than I am in the fandom for. I am honestly only in like 4-5 anime fandoms. Same thing goes for other things I like, such as Harry Potter or marvel. I can like things, A LOT, and be passionate about them without being in the fandom. That doesn't mean I don't like it or I'm not knowledgable on the subject. That doesn't mean that I am an idiot for not knowing a fact/opinion/theory that has made its way around the fandom, that I'm not a part of. YES, I am a HUGE SPORTS FAN. It was legitimately also my fucking career (as a sports reporter/journalist/broadcaster). Do I post on tumblr about Baseball or Football or Hockey? Almost never. Does that make me any less of a fan, or does that make me any less knowledgeable about teams and rules? No. Does that mean that I didn't play/participate in almost every sport growing up? (baseball for 6 years, I still play Intermural football, tennis for 3 years, volleyball for 4, soccer for 1, swimming for like 5 years, I tried track, even karate and some other random stuff.) YES, I AM FUCKING KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT PERFORMANCE SPORTS. I have participated/competed/trained/still watch almost every kind of performance sport. Of course color guard and marching band has been the longest, and the thing I was best at (7 years), but I grew up doing all kinds of dance and I still do lots of dance, as well as TONS of my own choreography. I've done baton and cheer for about 1-2 years each too. I did gymnastics for 4 years — was I very good? hell no. But do I know about it and appreciate it? Yes. SAME THING GOES FOR FIGURE SKATING. I only had like half a years worth of lessons, and like 3 routines that I ever finished and performed with figure skating, but that is because it is an expensive af sport, and I had way more activities and sports that I was better at, more passionate about learning, and were more accessible. BUT did I grow up going to figure skating shows like Disney on Ice or Stars on ice? Did that stop me from waiting in line for hours to get Michelle Kwan and other famous figure skaters autographs? No. Did that stop me from watching almost every single minute of the 2014 and 2010 Olympics? No. Do I still remember watching parts of the 2006 Olympics with my parents and absolutely being ENTHRALLED and wanting to do that too? YES. I still remember watching the 2014 Olympics from my aunt's house when I was staying on a cot in her living room because my mother was in the hospital and CRYING when I saw Y* H* perform, break world records, and win the gold. It was a sense of normalcy and awe because everything else going wrong in my life didn't matter while I was watching these amazing athletes perform. And GUESS WHAT, since I'm not really a part of the Figure Skating fandom (just like I'm not in the musical theatre fandom, or in anything regards to hair or makeup) I don't post about my own hype or plans regarding how excited I am for things to come out. So nobody here on tumblr, or almost ANYONE knew how excited I was for this upcoming Grand Prix season for the first actual competition of the Olympic season. I watched almost every challenger series video, as well as the autumn winter classic and competitions of the like. Even the JGPF events in anticipation. But guess what: I literally have a note on my phone that has all of Team USA's competition schedules, and their scores that they have gotten so far (like at the COR), along with a list of my favorite international skaters, and other new skaters to watch. I was so hype, so excited, and I thought that maybe, since figure skating had boomed in popularity, thanks in part to YOI (but also, helped people be more vocal and open about how much they love the sport even if ex already did) I would be able to discuss the excitement with other people. But no. Instead of being able to say "omg I'm so excited for blah blah blah, I hope they make the Olympic team. But I also love this show concept and this other persons costume, and you also can't count out blah blah blah" and being civil with conversation among other fans... They instead will say " wow you like blah blah blah? But you said this about them, and that offends me so you're wrong, and you forgot this tiny detail from 3 years ago, and you like anime so you OBVIOUSLY only care about figure skating because of YOI. Take your bandwagon fan bullshit away from me and go kill yourself". So now, I am staying the fuck away from the figure skating fandom, I've literally left half of my choreography untouched for almost 2-3 months, don't want to read/finish any of my YOI fanfics, and will probably even have a hard time watching Skate Can this weekend (even though like 6 of my favorite skaters are competing, and I was so excited before). Guess I'll just have to annoy my snapchat friends with videos of skating and me screaming because of skating. Fuck you tumblr, and I doubt I'll make any more original posts outside of APO planning and reblogs in the foreseeable future,

[starfire003]

In which, I go complete fangirl...

One thing I can say about myself is that when I fangirl, I go ALL out.

The absolute HYPE for Avengers: Endgame is very much real with me. And I'm gonna be honest, it's been a minute since I've been this excite over anything pop culture and geek related so I may have fallen down a hole and I'm not really that mad about it.

Except for that time on Sunday where I read 127 chapters in a fanfic and didn't go to bed until like 4am, but Monday was a state holiday so it all worked out? 🤷🏿‍♀️ And I didn't know that IronDad & SpideySon was the trope I needed in my life until it happened, but it works and I'm not mad about it AT ALL.

Anyway, hype train is real, my tickets are bought-I have tickets for Saturday morning at 8 am, my MCU marathon re-watch is on like dokney kong (damn, means I gotta go see Captain Marvel again tonight, 🙆🏿‍♀️), my brother, brother in law and all the niblings have thoughts, theories and hopes about what happens especially in light of the last trailer that dropped this week-Which was AWESOME, and yeah I'm a little bit GIDDY.

At this time I'd like to give a special shout out to my big brother, who in the aftermath of the realization that he wasn't getting a baby brother (that's a different post y'all) still decided that he was going to do all the brother/brother bonding with me eventhough I was another sister. So Spider-Man comics as bedtime stories and GI Joe's living with my Barbies was a norm for me growing up along with lego forts protecting doll houses, feeling bad for slain dragons, wanting to be a princess but also wanting to play with swords cuz dude those things are super cool, and really just influencing and opening me up to a lot of different things that have now cultivated my interests. They're quirky, sometimes lame, never not boring and always guaranteed to put a smile on my face. (His birthday was Monday, he's an old man now 😁)

So if anyone ever questioned where I get it from, it's his fault and he's not apologetic about it at all. In turn, his kids all have varied interests that are kinda niche because Auntie T *points at self* encourages/enables it. I also regret nothing.

Tl;dr, Avengers: Endgame opens in 21 days, and this is my mood. LET'S GO!

Working Together(17)

Camila

Uh it feels so good to be back. Those kids were holding me hostage for a while. Today I'm doing a few things. First a early heels private class my favorite the one on one connection is always amazing. Most woman I get do private as a confidence booster or maybe for training.

Next some meeting with someone oversea. They are coming all the way from Korea just to meet with little ole me. I'm hoping its something where I need to go there I've always wanted to travel the world.

Lastly sexy daddy aka my husband and I are getting in front of the camera again. We are Atlantas number one magazine "IT" power couple of the month.

As I'm stretching Bre the receptionist and my private student walks in. She had a real shy type vibe coming from her. "First Lady someone is here for you."

"Thanks bre. Hi beautiful!"

"Hi thanks for taking me on." She smiled. "Rachel."

"Right so before we start I wanna get you stretched out and help you get comfortable."

She set her things down. We start on the legs sitting legs open touching our toes. I start up a small conversation.

"How did you find out about these private classes?"

"Well don't get creeped out but I watch all your videos on the SWIZZ website so one day I was just browsing your page and came across the sign up page." She smiled shrugging.

"So tell me what you want to get from this class."

"Well I'm going through a break up...we were high school gone college sweethearts. Some time after the first semester things got weird and we became distant. He was my world but I wasn't his." She said following my next move. "I just want to feel beautiful and confident again. It feels like he took my heart when he left."

"Ok first I'm sorry you have to experience that feeling so young. Would it be to much to know why you guys broke up?"

"No uh...he said he wanted something different."

"So are you doing this to get him back?"

"No no I wanna improve for myself because one day I'll meet the man who won't do me wrong and treat me like the black queen I am. This private class is a start for my confidence I watch all your videos and the heel ones are my favorite. Everyone always looks so care free...I want that."

See why these are my favorite.

"I'm glad you came to me for that. Dance is my go to when I need a boost when I'm down anything really. So we are about to bring out that inner diva your own Sasha fierce. My diva name is Storm."

She blushed. "Ok mine is...Fine Wine."

"Yes I love it! Let's get things going I chose Permission by Ro James it's my shit right now. Do you have any dance experience?"

"Yes I did cheerleading in high school and I was a majorette band dancer in college. It's been a while tho so let's do a beginners."

She was a easy teach we mostly focused on body movement rather the actual dance. Feeling the music letting her body in a way tell a story. Bring out the sexy in her.

  Xdance

As we are ending my husband walks in after knocking. He smiled standing to the side.

"You did so good and looked like the sexiest little thing. I hope to see you at some of my other classes."

"Yes this was so much fun every time I hear that song I'm gonna just break out into my Fine Wine."

"She's a magic worker huh?" Chris comes up his famous slick smirk on his face.

"Defiantly. Hi I'm Rachel." They shook hands before he came over towering me.

We look at each other just smiling. "What?"

He took me by surprise kissing me then walking away laughing like the villain he is. "Your meeting starts in a few hours."

"Thanks. Rachel I hope you had fun today."

"Yes I definitely did it gonna schedule another private before I leave out."

She got her stuff gave me a hug then left out. I got a water sitting against the mirror.

"Nah nah get on up First Lady." Chris came standing over me. "You can shower in the locker rooms by the gym then meet me in my office."

He helped me up tapping my ass. "Uh I don't wanna shower."

"You want daddy to help you get clean again?" He pulled my back into his chest.

His hands move down squeezing my thighs making me bit my lip. Looking up I catch us in the mirror. Kisses on my neck have me giggling and squirming.

"Baby stop before you start something." I tried pushing him off.

"I missed you...that whole hour you weren't with me."

"Aww I missed you to baby. Gimme a kiss so I can go start getting ready for this meeting."

He groaned squeezing me. "No let's steam up this room real quick."

*1 1/2 hour later*

I really hate him sometimes! In the middle of round two bre almost caught us. She only came up because who I'm having my meeting with was on his way.

Now I'm rushing trying to get dressed fix my hair do my make up. I probably look like a head less chicken! Getting off the elevator I run my hands down my skirt walking to Chris office. Knocking first I slowly step in. A older guy and four girls sat in front of his desk.

"오, 세상에, 그녀 야!" One said as the other three gasp. (Oh my gosh it's her)

They stood bowing. "Ok hi." I waved feeling a little awkward.

"Baby this is Mr Shaw and his girl group their from South Korea." Chris took my hand leading us back to his desk letting me sit in his chair while he stood behind it.

"It is very nice to meet you Mrs Washington I am their manager. My girls are huge fans of your work especially with Tinashe." Mr Shawn says reaching out for my hand and bowing.

"Oh thank you so much."

"They came all this way to meet you. Their first performance is coming up soon and they wanted no requested you to do the choreography."

"Awesome I've never worked with anyone from another country before. So what are you guys name since you know me already."

"I'm Lalisa you can just call me Lisa I'm the lead rapper."

"I'm Jennie vocalist I also rap."

"I'm Jisoo the vocalist."

"I'm Chae-young but everyone calls me rose I'm the lead vocalist and we as a group are BlackPink."

(Names in order of picture)

I smiled nodding. "Cute name well thank you for coming to me and trusting me to make your first performance a big one."

"It was a must we watch your videos all the time! We just got signed to the Korean label YG and they want us to wow everyone." Jennie says.

"I can definitely do that. Where is your first performance?"

This is big! A girl group all the way from South Korea wants me little ole me to work with them. Since I'm keeping my professional face on no one call really tell how hype I am but just guess.

"It's for a popular music show all the most currant groups and artist start their and if they do good they shoot off to stardom." Lisa says.

"And we don't want to be like the others. Most people first thought of girl groups where we are from instantly think like twelve girls cute bubbly giggle every five seconds...we don't want that." Jisoo.

"Oh yeah I totally got that vibe from you guys your style is really street but a girly street. I'd love to work with guys so let's set everything up!"

They cheered. A contract was pulled out and chris helped me with negotiating to make sure everything was safe and fair. I got pictures with the girls and they gave me the song they plan on performing.

  Chris

Right after the door closed Camila was jumping and screaming. Smiling I watched. "You excited?"

"Look at me of course I'm excited! Oh my god baby can you believe this!?"

"Hell yeah I can you are an amazing dancer and more and more people are seeing that. Congratulations First Lady."

She smiled cupping her face rushing up to me. "You had a big part in this to. They saw me because I came over here if it wasn't for that site this probably wouldn't be happening...thank you so much baby for believing in me."

Moments like this. We support each other I'm her back bone she's my cheerleader. I couldn't be more proud of my wife. We stood in my office hugging her flipping out every other second.

"Uh I'm so fucking hype like...AH! I want celebration sex." She smiled at me.

"What?"

"Drop the slacks daddy-O." She ran locking the door then started stripping. "Come on now baby hurry up." She whined.

"Ok ok. Claim your thrown my queen."

*2 1/2 hours* Right now everything has been pushed off my desk. We lay on top my wife riding me to the the mother land. She bounced her ass at a perfect speed.

"Shit girl." I groan dropping my hands from her waist.

"Oh papi." She wines her hips slow.

"Got damn I'm about to nut." Thrusting my hips into her she screams out letting her sweets leak down my dick and thighs.

Quickly hoping up she took me in her mouth sucking and rubbing until I reach my own climax.

"Mmmmm you know I kinda miss having you cum inside me." Licking clean she smiled still stroking me.

"I know we can always start using condoms."

She turned her face up at me. "Fuck that we've never used them before. I've been thinking more into getting my tubes burned or tied."

"Really?"

"Yeah why stop the supply when you can just close down the factory."

"Um ok if that's what you wanna do baby like always I'm here for you."

"I know let's get dressed and thank you for dicking me down oh so nicely."

We went home to shower and change before heading to our next thing of the day. In the car we hold hands as I'm driving. Making conversation here and there.

"Have you noticed Stanley and Mona acting a little weird lately?"

"Kind of they aren't together all the time."

"Yeah and I don't feel as close with them anymore."

"Why don't you try to do something with them? Take them shopping or to a salon then just talk see what's in those teenage heads. Maybe I'll do something with Maurice while y'all do that."

Since we both can be pretty busy time with the kids is special. Rather it's everyone going out to eat or movie nights in the house. Something for everyone. I love all my badass kids their all the product of the love I have for this woman next to me. Now I'm not gonna say I have any favorites but I do happen to maybe like three out of six a little more than the others. None of them have to know that tho.

"Do you think I'm a good mom?"

"Yes why you ask?"

"I'm softer on the kids I don't discipline them like you or at all most times. I just want to make sure I'm not setting them up for failure later in life."

"I think you are a great mother. Maybe be a little tougher on them cause I know you wouldn't like it if one day one of them decide they don't want to listen to you anymore. I know you sometimes think I'm to hard on them but it's all out of love. And then once their grown what they do is all on them out job as their parents is to teach them right from wrong what they chose to do with the knowledge they get is not our fault. So say if one of them goes to jail or something you don't blame yourself or your parenting skills that child just made the wrong decision."

She leaded over kissing on my cheek and neck. "I love you so much."

Smirking I pull into a space in front of the building. "yo te quiero más." She moaned kissing my lips this time. (I love you more)

Walking into the building we are greeted and taken to the second floor.

"Our couple of the month everyone!" A room full of people clapped as we walk in.

"Oh wow hi." Camila nervously waved.

"Welcome thank you for coming in. We are so happy to finally have you two featured on our magazine it's a shoing to be on of our best sellers." A guy shook our hands.

We sat in the last two free seats. "It's all love we are more than happy to be apart of this."

"Great wonderful so today we want to do everything! Being that you all have a big family it wouldn't be right to keep you for to long. I will be the editor for the magazine this month being that our company splits us up by months so no one gets left out."

Smart.

"This is our wardrobe and make up/hair team they will be styling you both. The photographer one of the best here, and the interview will be given by me recorded by my assistant."

"Sounds nice you guys are really put together."

"Thank you very much. We can start on the interview part now while these guys go set everything up and I'm gonna get started with the interview."

Everyone else left out.

(maybe someone we don't know yet??) #Thoughts on Riko Moriyama

HOO boi XD here comes the trainwreck.First of..all thank you @c-valentino for tagging me and…. making me uh ..work and think on my own (sobs) haha *nervous laughter (noreally tho, thank you, целую!!)I probably won’tcome up with super new or hyper interesting stuff and… actually, Icould just link CVal’s whole post here……………………but okay here wego, then!!Ugh, I guess I have to out myself now real quickbefore we dive in: I was always kinda very interested in the ‘BadGuys’. No matter what, I’d try to find out more about them, try tofigure out how their twisted brains work and why their Morales werealways a bit questionable, which doesn’t necessarily mean I’m okaywith whatever they’re doing or understand and support their actions(hell fucking nooo).I’m just finding it super interesting tothink and sometimes even talk about.

Now, since that’s settled:I think Riko is justas interesting as our MC’s, if not one of the most interestingcharacters, and maybe also one of the most tragic ones (imo). I don’treally think you get this impression after reading the series for thefirst time, though. He seems super flat and not interesting enough inthe books. I wouldn’t have given him a second thought if I didn’t getthe chance to read the extra content.

Which leads me now to my actually toughts on Riko, based  onextra Content and HC’s:The way Riko sees the world isobviously reeeally different from how our MC’s view the world,which is quite,.. understandable, regarding where he comes from, howhe was raised and trained and what he went through (bc hooo boi,that’s not a life I wanna live). This guy knows he’s the son ofExy, obviously The Number One and the actual King of the court. Thereshould be no way anyone could have the power or strength to outpacehim (oh and Riko is going to make sure of that). He is a Moriyama andthinks of his players as his property, he basically gets what hewants and who he wants. Sounds like a pleasant life, right? But Idon’t think he had one. He is living with this pressure form“above’, knowing that he always ‘has to be’ The Best of them all. Hehas to deliver otherwise he would be no use and therefore not worthkeeping in the nest, on the court and alive. I always picturedhim feeling the pressure and weirdly enough people tend to forgetthat Riko is not a robot… because being pressured like that,knowing you have to be THE BEST all the time, no matter what .. thatreally really really fucks with you and your brain. He isprobably under constant stress, giving more than just his best ,whichhe also expects from his players. There is no space for compassion,no place for weakness, nor failure. His live is Exy and there isnothing else than Exy keeping him alive. It’s his past, hispresent and his future for the rest of his life. His mentalbreakdowns always turn into violent outbursts because that boy can’treally cope with the mess in his head (probably not even aware ofthat) He never learned how to control his anger or himself. Why wouldhe? He is King, a Moriyama, he is the one controlling. So yeah, youbasically don’t want to be near him when he’s having his moments. Hisruthlessness makes him go overboard at times. A lot of times.He’salso never at fault. No matter what he does because.. what the hell??Such a concept doesn’t even exist. So how in the world is Rikoa tragic character, when we just settled that he’s nothing but anabsolute ruthless monster with no restrains???!!

Lemme explain ok. Riko was born into this world of Exy, Thesecond son, not the first(!!), growing up and having those insaneexpectations to life up to –  he would be a worthless piecenothing, not needed on the court. He had Kevin, the brother who wasalways by his side, on and off court; his number 2, his property,*his*. Riko doesn’t know how to treat people right though,doesn’t know the concept of actual friendship, It’s always just Exyand Exy and Exy, there is no time for friendship. I also believethat he deep down feared for his life, he just wasn’t aware of thatbecause his brain was too occupied with getting better.One of myHC’s is that: he was super restless the whole damn time, not able tocalm down, constantly under pressure.He basically barely slept.How is there time for sleep, when you can use that precious time ondrills?It wrecks him. The nest destroyed a perfectly fineboy, gave him the chance to basically develop this crazy god complexand also turning him into this Exy monster. And most of the time hewasn’t even aware of his problems because there is just no time andspace for that shit.

Now what happens if one suddenly takes away his Exy? Welp,there’d be nothing left of this fucked up guy. He is a mess, abroken soul, not good enough to be alive.He has nothing, not evenhimself because he was sold to the court and owned by the court.There are many many many demons living in his ribcage, twistinghis brain in the worst ways. I’m not even sure if he’d be able tolive a normal human life outside the nest, without being able to feelanything besides the need to do better and better and better. It madehim mad to the point of no return … so yeah uh .. don’t you thinkthat’s kinda tragic??

Fave HC’s: Mhh, I uh … you know what?

basicallyeverything CVal came up with and mentioned  in her post

…..…..(did u think I was joking, Val?)

Riko with freckles, I dig that!!

Riko playing an instrument.. preferably the piano (ok listen, just the picture of Riko, in a black suit … sitting in front of a piano…no?just me?ok)

Riko being an amazing swimmer

Also some Au’s

Riko and Ichirou → actually interacting with each other (Onii-san,y'all I’m chokiNG ( maybe some kind of Uchiha-Verse or something like that, why not? I dig it))

Fox!Riko ( @bvccvrdi  thank you for this and @shihoran for destroying me and my emotions daily w this)

Pairings/Ships and Feelings:

Riko/Kevin clearly. There is no doubt.

Especially after reading the extra content and old drafts.Thesetwo were boyfriends. Their relationship was hella unhealthy and probsreally violent but  … they just can’t live without each other(I mean can u imagine how obsessed Riko had been with Kev?? He wasHIS, okay? His and ooonly his.He didn’t even touch Kevin’s side of the room after all this time,can u imagine??). They were rivals for sure .. but .. they were alsoabsolutely obsessed w each other.I currently ship them likenothing else. Too invested. Even though I’m more than just conflictedabout this but I just cannot help it.

Thoughts on his final scene:….I have to admit thatI’m super unhappy with how the AFTG series ended. I’m glad to have ahappy end, couldn’t be more great full but everything feels so rushedand off. And I think it’s all due to Riko’s super quick death.Everything happened way too fast, I actually hate that he died, orspecifically how fast and easy that happened. It just didn’t fit atall, in my opinion.
