#I'm naturally curious and am pretty good about finding some weird ass shit just because I'm persistent and stubborn about getting answers

Ok so here's a horrifying tale of when I discovered the existence of the movie The Crow 30 years too fucking late this Friday, and somehow never even knew a remake came out for it on the exact. same. day. Bear with me.
Ok so I was on spotify listening to this song (song in question was L.I.S.Å by Taythedxn, please dont look at me) that for some reason had footage of this random ass guy in clown makeup playing in the Now Playing/More Info preview. And I was like - huh! That guy kinda reminds me of my BG3 Tav!!! Nice!!! Naturally I'm pretty interested to find out what the hell is going on with that. So, thinking it's just the music video for that song, I look it up. To my surprise, that was not the music video at all!
At this point I'm massively curious. I am sitting there absolutely dumbfounded and stubborn as shit; I had to find this gorgeous clown man, even if it was 1 am at the time. I was on a MISSION! Finally I managed to muster enough braincells up to reverse image search the guy, and lo and behold, The Crow (1994) pops up. Bingo! There's the gorgeous clown guy!
At first I'm just showing pictures of the main character to my partner like Look!!! Look!!! He looks like my Tav in clown makeup!!!! Woah!!! And then I mention the movie to him, and well- (gonna cut the post in half for you, don't worry 'just browsing' crowd)
Tumblr media
My partner being the resident Nine Inch Nails listener pointed this out to me. SO IT HAD THE MARK OF NINE INCH NAILS? I was stoked - Trent Reznor being involved in any soundtrack has always been a great indicator in my eyes. Because of that, I just had to check out the rest of the soundtrack, and I was in AWE.
Tumblr media
ALL THESE GOBSMACKING BANDS IN THE SAME SOUNDTRACK. I WAS ABSOLUTELY FLUNG OUT THE WINDOW ABOUT THIS (as seen above).
At this point I was sold, I was GOING to watch this movie. I was deadset on it. And, to my luck, I found it free to watch on youtube... somehow. Still surprised about that. No I'm not linking it, I'm not a snitch, but I assure you it's very accessible. Anyways, I sit down, get comfortable, and get my shit ABSOLUTELY ROCKED. Aesthetically, this movie is everything I love - I had a lot of fun watching it (big fan of the lightbulb scene btw).
Tumblr media
Anyways I had the time of my life watching it, really soaking the music and outfits in, absolutely hollering at every indulgently gothy scene. Honestly, what a fucking experience - Eric was a sight to bloody behold. God, I was googoogaga for Myca too!!! The fashion was immaculate, a lot of the costumes are things I try to replicate and wear myself nowadays, so I was beyond stoked to see that right in front of me. I may or may not have a new style guide now!
I finished the movie in a good mood, and ultimately wondered: Why had I never heard of this before? Naturally I check wikipedia, see what production was like and what it was based off of - really neat to see it was based off of a comic, but then as I read on and found out the whole story behind Brandon Lee's death on set, I was very quickly silenced. Suddenly it was way more grave than I anticipated.
Tumblr media
Honestly it's a bit weird to mourn a dude 30 years later, but this may be one of the sadder celebrity deaths I've ever heard of. And knowing the effect it had on the original comic artist, who had been through enough shit in his life as is, was absolutely heartbreaking.
So now I sit here, unable to stop thinking about this movie, the comic it came from, and how I managed to stumble across it without even once encountering any advertisements or trailers for the remake that had released on the exact day I had found the original. Don't get me wrong, if anyone discovers the original because of the remake, I think that'd be fucking amazing, because the original deserves lots of love on top of the love it already has - but now knowing the remake was a piece of rubbish, I'm worried people might not look into it.
This may well have been the worst time to discover The Crow (1994) but holy shit, it is forever on my mind from here on out. I wish I had known it sooner, truly. As someone who considers themselves a goth, I did myself a serious disservice by not watching this sooner, I swear.

Uncommon Q's (You tired of me in your box yet? lol) - For your OCs (Dealer's choice but I love Max, Melony, and Elizabeta especially today) - 1, 2, 20, 32, 35, 43. For you about Mia (I know it said OCs but I'm curious about your blorbo if you're willing to answer) : A, E, G, H,
Uncommon Questions ; Melon, Max, Liza
1. What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?
Melony is a naturally fidgety person, but it also kind of depends on if there’s people around. By herself, she can probably sit still for a few minutes before she starts distracting herself. If she’s in a situation where she’s been told (or she’s like… in church or something) she can sit still longer, more because it’s expected than anything.
Max can sit still for hours. Like he could watch paint dry and the most he would do is maybe shift positions a little. (80% of the time it’s because he’s dissociating)
Liza can’t sit still to save her life. They get bored way too easy and it’s harder for them to focus if they aren’t really doing anything.
2. How easy is it for your character to laugh?
Melony’s pretty easy to make laugh, the only jokes she doesn’t really laugh at are like… dirty jokes. Not because she doesn’t understand them, she just doesn’t find them very funny. (Sometimes they get her but it’s rare)
Max is harder to make laugh, only because he only really laughs at stupid shit. It’s not even sex humor, bro has straight up meme humor. If you showed him the “Me and the boys at 3 AM lookin for BEANS” meme he would lose his shit, but if you told him an actual joke he’d be like “That’s so funny.” with a straight face.
Liza will laugh at anything, honestly, she’s incredibly easy to make laugh. As long as the joke is good, they’ll probably like it.
20. If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?
Melony: “Romantic love is when someone makes you happy just by being around them, or they make you feel safe, and loved in ways nobody else does. Platonic love is kind of the same thing, but toned down. It’s less about being in love, and more about having someone you just enjoy hanging out with and being around. Familial love is… uh. They take care of, and protect you, and… they always know what’s… what’s best for you, even if you don’t always agree with them. And they would never get rid of you or hate you just for who you are…. But the one thing they all have in common is they thrive off of trust, because if you can’t trust your partner, or your friends, or you mom, then that’s… that’s just not good….”
Max: “Sex with emotional attachment, sex without emotional attachment, and no sex because that’s your sibling or parent or whatever and that’s gross. Even if you’re not blood related, if you consider that person a mom or a brother or something it’s weird to wanna fuck them. But also familial love is about, like… you just wanna protect them with your life! You might fight and you won’t always get along, but you would fight a Lycan for them, because you know they would do that for you, too….”
Elizabeta: “Romantic and platonic love are kind of tricky because, in both cases you can have a strong emotional connection to a person, it’s just one you wanna kiss them and go out dates and do all kind of romantic and touchy stuff, and the other is more like… they’ll laugh at you whenever you do something embarrassing like trip over your own feet or walk directly into a door. Familial love is more like…. They love and support you through hardships. They just want to watch you thrive, even if you’re sometimes a pain in the ass to deal with. They might still make fun of you, but you know they still love you.”
32. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?
Melony doesn’t really have one, though she does occasionally just throw out some little fact from her childhood when she can like “I used to sit by the treeline and just look over the Village” or “I once found a stray cat and named her Mittens” and even “My mom tried to leave me at the market when I was four and I think that’s when I official gained consciousness”. Y’know, just fun little tidbits.
Max always defaults to the story about how he and his small group of friends snuck into the reservoir one night to skinny dip and came incredibly close to Moreau killing them for trespassing. They were all like 16-18 years old and he considers it one of the more exciting nights of his life before everything went to hell.
Liza doesn’t have one. They do try to crack jokes during conversation but there’s nothing they really default to.
35. How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?
If it’s not illegal or going to cause them harm, Melony is very supportive. She likes seeing the people she cares about get excited over things, even if they’re not always her cup of tea or are kind of terrifying. The important thing is that her friends are happy. (She’s listened intently to Cassandra go on about what knives are best for gutting people, which is… something she never thought she’d learn but here we are)
Max treats it a little more like when a kid tries to show their parent something. “Hey Max, look at this thing!’ “Yeah, that’s really cool.” kind of thing. It’s not that he isn’t supportive, but he’s definitely not showing the same level of hype they are for the thing. Which can sometimes get mistranslated to them thinking he doesn’t care. (He does. He cares very much, he wants to know, he just has Asshole Voice. Plus if someone rambles to him, it makes him feel like he can also ramble about stuff, too.)
Liza is usually the one going to their friends excited about things, but they’re always happy to listen to their friends ramble, too. And they’ll get equally excited (again, as long as it won’t cause their friend bodily harm). She’s totally supportive, within reason.
43. If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so?
Melony: “I prefer women over men. I think…. I can safely say I’ve never met a man I’ve been attracted to, anyway.”
Max: “Chicks before dicks. But if you wanna pay me, y’know, I’m open for anything.”
Elizabeta: “I like… people. Men, women, both, neither, I don’t care as long as they’re nice and the love is mutual.”
Uncommon Q’s: About Mia (I'm always willing to talk about my blorbo)
A. Why are you excited about this character?
She can THROW ME THROUGH A WALL.
And also I just think Mia’s character is really interesting despite the fact she never really gets explored in the games. We never get any answers for who The Connections are, why she joined them, how much she knew, what happened to her during/post-Village. There’s so much potential for a good Mia story that’s just never used or explained. She’s also a good example of “Good people can do shitty/immoral things, but that doesn’t make them bad at heart.” I will defend this with my life, too. Because Mia IS a good person. She cares about people, she has a sense of guilt over everything, she isn’t cold hearted or hate filled. It doesn’t excuse her, but it does show she has some sense of morality (which is part of why I wish we knew why she took the Connections job). It’s honestly sad we don’t ever see her do much outside of being someone for Ethan (or Chris) to save and I hope she comes back for RE9 in some capacity (I will be frothing at the mouth and expanding/stretching any mention of her just like I did with the DLC, believe you me).
She’s also hot idc what anybody says, she can bend me over a table or spit in my face or whatever. Hotter than any other woman in this franchise imo.
E. Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?
Realistically? I think Mia would hate me *wheeze*. She’s, y’know, almost 15 years older than me, and a mom, she wouldn’t want anything to do with my dumb ass. As much as I love her, we wouldn’t get along at all.
Also I think Mia is like… really smart, and I have a rock for a brain. But maybe she likes stupid, she did marry Ethan after all, and he’s pretty smooth brain….
Y’know what, I take it back, she would love me because I would make her laugh and I would treat her right and I would be a great influence on her child. If nothing else, we would be friends who always make plans to hang out then never do, but we always send each other memes and tiktoks. We’d have at least a bare minimum friendship. Like she invites me to her birthday parties or something.
G. What trait of theirs bothers you the most?
Nothing, she’s perfect and beautiful and has no flaws whatsoever.
Seriously, though, I do think she can be a little.. Flippant, I guess? Mainly in that one RE8 flashback where she won’t just tell Ethan whatever she wants to tell him. Which is kind of on him because he took a call when his wife was clearly distressed about something, but also on her because she legit just could have been like… “Rose has Mold” or whatever she was gonna say.
And like, this is something I’ve defended her on. Her lying and whatever, because I do believe most of it is justified. It’s just that one flashback scene bugs me.
H. What trait do you admire most?
Despite all the shit she goes through, she just keeps going. Which is honestly just admirable to me. Like this bitch went through HELL and came out the other side and she was kind of thriving in 8 despite the potentially untreated PTSD (Y’all can’t convince those pills were shit beyond an antidepressant and vitamins) and other potential mental illnesses. Even in RE8 after being kidnapped she’s straight to the point with Chris, no bullshit, and I love that.
Girl seems headstrong and I think that’s pretty cool and sexy of her, y’know.

I just spent a good couple of hours just trying to find which rooftop of Los Angeles that the boys filmed on. I finally found it!! I am amazing, holy shit. I even checked the angles to see if it was all the same roof or if they possibly filmed on more than one. (at least speaking for the trailer) 
The red building on the group shot, the LA city hall building behind Felix (and a few other members in their solo shots), the color billboard behind I.N (and Hyunjin), the glass structure thing on the roof in the side group shot behind the boys, the door and stairs that Changbin is sitting on, the church building behind Lee Know (take me to church ~~), the Hotel Rosslyn signs behind Chan (and Woojin plus other shots) plus the stair thing he’s sitting on, then the group shot in which you see a black building in the background to the right, and the crane in front of the glass skyscraper(s). 
*WHEW* All of this on one roof my dudes. Angles are everything.
 (We’ll have to see about the full MV but for now I can say it’s the one roof)  417 Wall St, Los Angeles. You are all welcome. Google says it’s VM Studios. The website shows like one picture of the roof and you can tell right away it’s the roof in question.

fem!Miya!reader x Ginjima Hitoshi & Akagi Michinari || part of the Third Miya series
Synopsis: It’s just a courage test. Just a nightly walk through a labyrinth of statues. Even the moon refuses to peek out from behind to clouds to witness your stupidity. Oh, did I mention there've been ghosts sighting here? There've been ghost sightings here.
Warnings: cursing, some spooky atmosphere, spooky things happen, some prime examples of sibling love
wc: 2.3k
a/n: should I post this chapter after the one establishing Reader's friendship with the team? Yeah, probably. also what I could do is write a little author's note that Reader is a friend with all the boys on the team and move on from there, ya know? 
In case you missed previous chapters, Twins call their sister San, while others simply refer to her as Miya. (I'm experimenting and trying to use y/n as little as possible. lemme know if you like it). 
if you wanna be tagged in future chapters lemme know and as always feedback is greatly appreciated! 
Tumblr media
Nothing scared you.
Well, except Mr-No-Gaps Kita Shinsuke but you're pretty sure there isn't a being on this planet that wouldn't be afraid of him so that disqualifies him from this particular competition; or mom that one time she discovered nobody had taken the trash out even though she said to do it several times. And the dark sometimes. And ghosts! Ghosts are spooky. You can't punch a ghost
But other than that nothing scared you.
Tumblr media
This nightly walk though is making you reconsider the statement. Maybe the time has come for you to put 'dark' and 'weird noises whose origin you can't see' to the top of the list. Shivers run up your spine and you step faster, closer to Ginjima beside you. He gives you a questioning glance but luckily doesn't say anything. You hope he won't mention it later either. The only thing worse than your brothers finding out what a scaredy cat you're being right now is... Well, nothing would be worse than that.
The Gallery Tangle is what this place is called and you find the name strangely fitting. Stone statues, some crumbling and all overgrown with moss, stand lined by the path going in twists and turns. No matter where you turn cold unseeing eyes watch you. If you were the one choosing the name for this place it would be something along the lines of 'that corner nobody in their right mind would ever go close too'. Some people believe it used to be a cemetery but really it's just a meadow where someone left an unwanted statue once, and then another, and before you knew crowds of curious tourists and stupid teenagers visited the place all the time. Even the moon refuses to peek out from behind to clouds to witness your stupidity. Oh, did I mention there've been ghosts sighting here? There've been ghost sightings here.
So naturally it's the perfect place for a courage test. The only one at fault for this entire situation is Osamu for daring Akagi and Ginjima to go visit the site, and you for falling for his trap when he turned to you and, with that annoyingly sweet voice pretending he's a caring older brother who's just looking out for his little sister, said: “Thank the heaven yer too much of a baby to go out of the house after sunset.“
Yeah well, maybe you are and he knows it, and he also knows the easiest way to get you to do something is to tell you you don't have the guts. It's all a well tested trap you keep falling into. Walking amongst countless silent statues you want to ponder how the mice traps are always so obvious and yet the mice keep falling for them like dummies, but that would be a silly thought to have in the middle of the night and taking your current circumstances into consideration also incredibly hypocritical.
Nothing much scared you, except for Kita Shinsuke, but if you were given a chance to get help from one person right now you'd chose him. As much as the mere thought of him makes you straighten up and check if your clothes are on point you're sure ghosts and demons and other creatures of the night would rethink once or twice before coming closer to bother you. Not to be rude but he'd probably be a better ghost repellent than trembling Ginjima beside you who at the moment is being more of a ghost attractor. Can ghosts sense fear? Apparently even horses can smell fear so why would ghosts be any different? Maybe better for that question to go unanswered.
“Are ya sure we're goin' in the right direction?“ asks Gin.
“Maybe.“
“Akagi-san ya do know that's not the answer we wanna hear right now, right?“
“I'm yer senpai so I can't lie to ya,“ answers Akagi and you wish he wasn't your senpai so you could give him the well deserved kick in the shin. As Osamu would put it, getting a straight answer out of him was sometimes harder than eating udon noodles with only one chopstick. Your smart-ass replied with 'Just drink them', which was a funny response at the time, a justifiable enough reason for Osamu to slap your head, but in the end this solution didn't really apply to the libero. “We're takin' a little detour to avoid inhabitants of this place,“ Akagi says and if you didn't know him better you'd think his words were meant to reassure you.
“Ya mean the statues? I don't think they really mind us trespassin'.“
“Ah no, not the statues.“ He turns and points his torch up to light up his face. “I meant ghosts.“
“Ha ha, very funny,“ you say pretending a shiver didn't just run up your spine. Your hold on your own torch tightens.
“Skepticism doesn't suit ya Miya. There's a ghost of a little boy hidin' round here. Ever since his old house was demolished he walks around lookin' for his parents.“
“Sure he does,“ you answer and quickly change the topic because if Akagi doesn't stop you're sure Gin will climb in your arms and the question if you're strong enough to carry him is another one you don't want to know the answer to. “Where did Samu say he left the scarf?“
When Ginjima answers his voice is strangely high pitched: “By the statue of an old lady with a cat.“
Akagi nods. “We should split up so-“
“No!“ you and Ginjima half yell.
“We could get lost,“ you add, feeling heat rise on your cheeks.
“Exactly,“ Ginjima agrees, “look how many statues there are! It's a labyrinth 'round here!“
Akagi gives in without much convincing with a gleam in his eyes you really don't like because it looks suspiciously similar to the gleam Atsumu has before blackmailing you with one of too many embarrassing things he knows. “Right, right, last time I was here the cat lady was on the other end.“
“Was?“ Ginjima follows close behind and you're just glad to have you back covered.
“Statues move sometimes. Usually when no one is lookin'.“
“Funny,“ is all you say.
Still, as you continue the expedition you don't let your gaze wander around. It's not like you could see anything anyway. It's too dark! At least that's what you keep telling yourself. Anything could hide out there.
You shudder. Why did you think it was a good idea to leave without taking a hoodie? As if summer nights aren't chilly. Or maybe you just walked past a cold spot where ghosts linger. Now that sounds like something Akagi would tell you.
You're acutely aware of how close Ginjima is walking and you're glad he is. His shoulder bumping into yours every now and then and the sound of his steps are the last things keeping you from letting your imagination run free.
That's the thing about imagination. It makes the pile of unfolded clothes look like a child crawling out of the floor. It makes sitting stone statues seem to blink and turn their heads when you pass by.
When you nervously glance over at Ginjima you notice he's clenching his jaw so hard you start fearing for his teeth. He puts you at ease. As much as that is possible while walking in the dead of night around seemingly endless line of statues. If he was as carefree as Akagi you would, all your foolish pride be damned, most likely burst into tears right then and there.
The nearby bushes rustle and maybe it's just the wind, or a cat on a nightly adventure, or maybe it's something entirely different, but whatever it is lures you into making the mistake of looking over at the statues, where you catch a pale face with unblinking eyes behind long, black hair staring back at you. You scream. Jump, trip over a stone and end in Ginjima's arms, your ears ringing from the high pitched shriek you presume is his.
Akagi jumps too and points his torch around to see what made both of you finally lose the brave facade. He searches around the statues but there's nothing to be found. “It's gone now.“
“Ya sure?“
“What was it?“
“A white face and... black hair.“
“So, a ghost?“ asks Akagi and you nod, holding tightly on Gin as if your life depended on it. A sly smile spreads across Akagi's face. “See, I told ya there's ghosts.“
“Not helpin' ,“ says Gin as Akagi's words make you shudder.
Only then does it hit you Ginjima is holding you bridal style and you swiftly climb back down, still shaken and now completely embarrassed as well. You don't even dare think how much bribing will take to convince Akagi to keep his mouth shut about this. Oh, if your brothers find out they will never let you live it down.
“Maybe we should go home,“ suggests Ginjima still holding you up because your knees turned to pudding.
“Like hell we are,“ you sneer, the blood rush turning fear into burning determination. If this is what it takes to shut Samu's annoying shit mouth, then so be it. “Cat lady, right? I bet she's this way.“ You pick up your torch light and head into the wrong direction.
“Miya, we have to go right,“ Akagi calls after you.
“I am goin' right!“
“The other right.“
You turn on your heels and head into the 'other right' direction. You think you hear Akagi snicker. Step by step your sudden burst of determination and fearlessness drains but like hell are you going to show it. It's just ghosts and spooky demons and maybe some cursed children, what are they going to do? Scare you? Joke's on them, you're already scared! And cold, and embarrassed, and you just want to find that damn scarf already and go home.
It waits neatly wrapped around the cat's neck. It's eyes have an almost mocking look. As if the stone is judging you for taking on this courage test in the first place. Well, you think, it ain't wrong.
“There, now we can go,“ you proclaim when your trembling fingers finally manage to unknot the silky fabric, and as if some cruel fate or inhabitants of this eerie place watched you only a few statues away something rustles.
All three of you freeze and listen. In the distance you can hear cars driving by. A late night train stops by the station.
“What was that?“ asks Gin.
You stuff the scarf into your pocket. “Doesn't matter, we got what we-“
“Let's go check it out!“
“O hell no,“ is the first thing that leaves your mouth but for some reason Akagi thinks it's a sunny Sunday afternoon and the perfect time for a stroll.
“Let's go,“ Gin nudges you to get you to follow Akagi but you don't budge.
“No.“
“He's our senpai Miya, we can't just let him wander off.“ He lowers his voice. “He might get in trouble.“
“Let him. I've had enough of this place,“ you say and head into the opposite direction. Ginjima hesitates, casts a few lost glances between you and Akagi before he decides the prospect of something happening to you would get him into much bigger trouble. “Are ya okay?“ he asks when he catches up.
You give a stiff nod. All you want is to get away from this place.
It doesn't take long for Akagi to come running back. “It was nothin',“ he says, out of breath and smiling as always but if you'd pay more attention you'd notice he's a bit paler.
And you are about to find out why.
A white figure appears from behind one of the statues, howling and shrieking, or maybe that's Akagi and Ginjima. Your heart stops for a mere moment before jumping into overdrive. You grip your torch, step back with one leg to gain momentum, and chuck your only source of light into what you guess is ghosts head.
“Aargh!“ shrieks the ghost before it starts screaming its lungs out at you, “Are ya stupid?! Ya could've hurt me ya shithead!“ It pulls the sheet off to reveal a very irritated Atsumu rubbing his forehead where the torchlight hit him. “OW!“ he shrieks again when you kick his shin. You'd probably kick him again for good measure if another figure, this one clad in black and with an oni mask, didn't jump from behind the statues and scare you into leaping in the air. The figure laughs and avoids the kick aimed at it's knee. “Samu!“ you shriek. “This isn't funny!“
“It is a little,“ says Akagi and to his luck he's your senpai and standing out of your reach. At least Ginjima doesn't look amused by your utter embarrassment.
In an effort to regain some of your pride you pull out the scarf and chuck it into Osamu's face. “Here, yer kitchen cloth.“
“San don't speak about mom's clothes like that,“ teases Atsumu who at the stare you send him immediately takes a careful step back.
Osamu pinches your cheeks and not even a death glare stops his teasing: “Maybe ya ain't such a baby after all. But ya do scream like one.“
“Absolutely hilarious,“ you deadpan. “Who was the white faced lady? Suna?“
“What white face?“
“Don't play with me ya shit pig. The one that almost gave Gin a heart attack!“
“Ya screamed louder than me-“
“That wasn't us,“ your brothers shake their head. You don't believe them because, why would you?
Akagi bursts into laughter. “Maybe ya saw a real ghost after all!“
A... a real... ghost. The rest of you exchange uncomfortable glances.
Gin is the first to speak. “It's gettin' a little chilly. Maybe we should,“ he gestures towards the path, and you nod, enthusiastically.
“It is gettin' late. We'll hear it if we come home past curfew,“ says Osamu.
Walking away you don't want to look back but something compels you to throw a quick glance over your shoulder. Wide unblinking eyes stare as you leave, face ghostly white and almost glowing in the dead of night.
Or maybe it's just your imagination.

Sorry for doing it this way, I think OP deleted their post or blocked me like a mature, balanced person would, so I have to tag you in
@mr-laugh
Oh boy, lot to unpack here.
So you didn’t even know there were that many subgenres of fantasy, one of the most popular classifications of fiction on the planet... And you think you know enough to tell ANYBODY what classic fantasy is?
And where exactly I attempted to do that, huh?
If you don’t even know the most common subgenres of this vast pool of fiction, why are you jumping into this discussion? You just admitted you don’t know anything!
There is no discussion, there is a stupid ass post. Don't flatter yourself, you don't know jack shit.
Me not knowing what exactly are the precize subgenres of a genre of literature, which, btw, are completely arbitrary and for your information, sword&magic is a legitimate category, has absolutely nothing to do with what that post you were so keen on agreeing with above. It was you who said pretty much any classic fantasy is like that: some poorly written, self-indulgent and borderline racist.
Did ya read the link, buddy? Howard talked about knowing what burning black man smelled like. He was quite approving of these things! And the books are pretty racist, it’s not hard to see, unless you ain’t looking.
Yes, I started reading and by the end of the first paragraph I was convinced he was ahorribly racist man. And? Still doesn't change the fact, that for my 12 year old self, there was nothing racist about it. I definetly wasn't looking for it, that much you got right. If I'd read it again, I'm sure I'd catch on to it now, that I know what kind of asshole he was. So the implied racism would be there. You got a point for that.
Rugged individualism? It always amuses me how that argument always pops out of the mouths of guys who are aping what they’ve heard their buddies say. If ten thousand mouths shout “rugged individualism”, how individualistic are they?
Then you should amuse yourself by looking up why this thing crops up as of late. It's coming from certain, supremely racist yet unaware of it publications that claim ridiculous shit like "rugged individualism" is a hallmark of white supremacy, among other, equally laughable things, like punctuality. It's a joke.
Again, I will give Howard to you, if someone that racist writes a black man saving the hero of the story, I bet there was something else still there to make it wrong.
Conan’s not some avatar of rugged individualism.
Uhm, yeah, he pretty much all that.
He’s as unreal and unrealistic as the dragons are,
It's called fantasy for a reason, buddy.
but more dangerous because White Men model their ideas of reality on Big Man Heroes like him;
Glad you are totally not racist, yo!!! It's such a relief that White Men are the only ones with this terrible behavior of looking up to larger than life, mythic superpeople and nobody else. Imagine what it would be like, if we would have some asshole from say, hindu indian literature massacering demons called Rakshassas, by the tens of thousands, or some bullshit japanese warlord would snatch out arrows from the air, or a chienese bodyguard would mow down hundreds of barbaric huns without dropping a sweat, or some middle eastern hero would fight literal gods and their magical beasts in some quest for eternal life.
it's a poison that weakens us, distracting us from actually trying to solve the world’s issues, or banding together to deal with shit.
Tumblr media
This is what you just said. It's up to the white man, to get their shit together, be not racist and solve the world's problems, because those poor other people's just can't do it. If we would just not be oh, so racist, then China would surely stop with the genocides they are doing now, or blowing more than half the greenhouse emissions into the athmosphere, the muslims would stop throwing their gays from rooftops or ramming trucks into crowds and would just start treating women as equals, India's massive rape problem would be gone, subsaharan African would be magically bereft of the host of atrocities committed there on a daily, yeah, you sure have that nonracism down, buddy!
A rugged individualist would be smart enough to realize that even the most individualistic person needs others; no man’s an island, and a loner is easier to kill.
Individualism doesn't mean at all what you think it means, it's a cluster of widely differeing philosophies that puts the individual ahead of the group or state, it's ranging from anarchism to liberalism and is also has nothing to do with my point.
Central Europe?  What, Germany?  Because let me tell you, historically they are SUPER concerned about race!
Germany traditionally considered western european, central europe would be the people stuck between them and the russians, to put it very loosely. We are equally nonplussed by the self-flagellating white guilt complex and the woe me victim complex of the west. We did none of the shit those meanie white people did to the nonwhites and suffered everyting any poc ever did and then some. We don't give a shit about your color, we care about what culture you are from and if you respect our values.
I’m an American from a former Confederate state; trust me, race is everything.  It always is.
No it really isn't. How old are you? Asking without condescension, genuinly curious, because if you are in your low twenties at most, it's understandable why you think like this.
Tumblr media
See that hike? Do you know what happened at that time that made virtually all american media suddenly go all in with racism?
Occupy Wall Street, that's what. It's a brilliant way to sow victimhood and hate and desperation amongst the people who have one common enemy, the powers that be, the banking sector, the politicians, the megacorporations.
Can't really blame you if you are in your early 20's at most, you grew up with this bullshit hammered into you. If you are older, step out of your echochamber please!
If you actually believe, that mankind doesn't progress naturally towards a more accepting society purely on the merit of there being more good people than bad and sharing a similar living with all the hardships in life, seeing that our prejudices inherited by our parents are baseless, that's how we progress, not virtue signalling courses and regressive policies. I was raised as any other kid, I had a deep resentment towards the neighbouring nations, I said vile, racist shit against people who I actually share a lot of genes with, of which fact I was in deep denial about, and then as I gradually got exposed more and more actual people of these groups, I started to realize I was wrong and everybody should be judged by their individual merits. It works throughout the generations, my grandma was thought songs about Hitler and how all jews are evil in school, she legit thought all black people at least in Africa are cannibals and shit, my mother stillsays shit that would get her cancelled in the USA, and I will probably have a mixed race kid as we stand now.
This whole racism is an eternal problem is laughable and disingenuous and I am actually sorry for you that you feel like that.
Moving on. As for Dany, the “noble white girl sold to scary dark foreign man” is a very popular trope, especially in exploitation films, which Martin draws on much more heavily than most authors do.
No, he fucking doesn't. I already wrote a bunch of examples from the books you seeminly ignore willfully. First of all, she is sold to those olive skinned savages by a white man, who is a terrible, increadibly evil man. He want's to fuck the then 11-12 ish Dany so bad, she picks his slave most resembling her and rapes her repeatedly, "until the madness pass." He also maimes children and traines them as disposable slave spies by the hundreds. There is no boundaries colour here, GRRM prtrays all kinds of people as reprehensible, evil and disgusting. Just like you can find plenty of examples to the opposite.
What is he drawing from your exploitation movies exactly? He writes about the human anture, he writes about the human heart at war with itself, that's his central philosophy of writing.
ASOFAI is basically just a porn movie with complicated feudal politics obscuring it, which is probably why it worked so well as an HBO series (up until the last two seasons or so.)
There is no gratuitous sex scene in the books, the rapes are described as rapes, they are horrible, they are very shortly described and usually just alluded to.
The people commiting them are not put into generous lights and one of the single most harrowing stories hidden behind the grand happenings of the plot is a girl named Jeyne Poole, whose suffering although never shown, is very much pointed out, along with the hypocrisy of the people who only fight to try and save her, because they think her a different person.
Honestly, if you actually read the books and they came of to you as porn, you might want to do some soulsearching.Btw, the HBO series was a terrible adaptation, it immedietly started to go further and further from the books with every passing season and the showmakers made it very clear to everybody, that they didn't understand the very much pacifist and humanist themes of Martin. And neither did you.
We also get no indication Essos will eat it when Winter comes; hell, they seem to not know Winter exists, given the way people act, even though that is also unrealistic and weird.  Essos was just super badly designed, and Dany is a terribly boring character.

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You both like crisscolfer, and klaine.
Stranger: Congrats on your wedding, Dare! C
You: Thanks man! I finally pulled the trigger and did it! I couldn't be happier! -D
Stranger: I can imagine! You two really make a sweet couple. And it had been coming a long time now.. How many years were you together now..? Ten? C
You: Yeah, like 10 or so crazy years. I guess it was about time I made it official, hu? I wish you would have been there. -D
Stranger: Glad that you are so happy about it. I'm happy for you. C
Stranger: I know.. I just couldn't. Sorry, man.. I did send a card and a gift though! C
Stranger: One of many, I'm sure. C
You: You were missed. -D Hmm, I'll have to look through the stuff we got, Mia was handling all of that, so I'm not even sure what all we got. I know your gift is probably perfect, though so I'll just go ahead and say a big thank you now. -D
Stranger: Sweet of you to say so, but I'm pretty sure that all you had eyes for was your beautiful wife there :) I'd love to see pictures though. C
You: Well, of course she pulled focus being the bride and all. Weddings really are the bride's day. I'll be sure to send you some pics when I get some. -D
Stranger: I'm sure she did. Although you were probably you're more than handsome self as well that day ;). C
Stranger: your*
You: I tried to clean up a little, but nobody was looking at me, I'm sure. It's Mia's day to be in the spotlight. -D You would have looked good all dressed up for the occasion, too. -D
Stranger: I would have totally stole the spotlight ;) C
Stranger: Just kidding though. C
You: You probably would have. It's probably best you didn't come, you would have outshone me for sure. ;) Everyone would have thought you were the groom. -D
You: Speaking of which, when are you planning on tying the knot? -D
Stranger: Not anytime soon. C
You: Not eager to make it official and start a family? -D
Stranger: This is going to sound bad, isn't it? C
Stranger: But.. No. Not really. C
You: No, no! It doesn't sound bad! I'm really not one to talk, I didn't take the plunge for like 8 years. -D
Stranger: True.. What made you change your opinion about it though? C
You: I guess when you realize there's no other choice for you than spending your life with someone, you just have to bite the bullet and do it. -D
Stranger: Don't get me wrong, but that sounds.. a tad depressing. C
You: No! It's not depressing. It's beautiful. Love is beautiful, man. There's nothing depressing about giving your life over to someone else. -D
Stranger: It's just... So final? C
Stranger: I don't know. C
Stranger: It's not like I have other options or anything, but I Just don't like the idea of it being the rest of my life, I guess. C
You: I guess so, but it's what you do. You grow up, you get married and grow old with someone. -D
You: I guess when you put it that way it doesn't sound as nice, but I know this is the only option for me right now. I'm not going to judge you for taking the right path in life for you. -D
Stranger: I'ms orry, man. C
Stranger: I definitely didn't want to sound like a sour bitch that whines about marriage. C
Stranger: I'm seriously happy for you and I'm sure you did what was best for yourself. C
You: No, no! I don't think you're a sour bitch! Maybe it's different because there's not as much expectation put on you as a gay man to get married. -D
You: Thanks. I know I made the choice I had to make. -D
Stranger: I don't really think Will wants to get married either. I do like the idea of marriage, don't get me wrong. You probably remember my euphoria at all the glee weddings even though those kids were definitely too young. I love weddings. C
Stranger: I can only say I'm proud of you. You're doing really, really well. You deserve it all, Dare. You worked your ass off for years. C
You: Weddings are pretty great. I've been to some amazing weddings in my day, that's for sure! -D
You: Thanks man! I'm glad to see the hard work and sacrifice is paying off. -D
Stranger: Me too. I've always thought you were a star. Glad the world finally gives you your place to shine. C
Stranger: I'll promise you that if I ever tie the knot with someone.. You'll be one of the first to know. C
You: It really does feel good to be recognized for doing what you love. You should know that feeling well Mr Best Selling Author. -D
You: Thanks! I'll be looking forward to the day you get your happily ever after, too! -D
Stranger: I can't deny that, no. I miss the acting though. I wouldn't trade it for writing, ever, but I miss the being with others and creating something magical together sometimes. C
Stranger: You're sweet. C
You: I'm sure you could get back into acting. You're a fantastic actor! Maybe you could even write a part for yourself and get a script picked up! I know you have what it takes to do it. -D
Stranger: I swear if you weren't an actor, singer and model you could always become a motivational coach. I'd pay big money for you. C
Stranger: Thanks though. It means a lot. C
You: I'll have to keep that in mind if I find myself unemployed and in need of money. ;) -D It's all true. You wrote a great episode of Glee that everyone loved, and you wrote your own movie. You could totally write a TV show or movie to star in again! I'd be the first in line for a ticket and the first to order the DVD! -D
Stranger: Honey, if I ever write a movie or TV show, I"ll definitely ask you in it. C
Stranger: You're also probably the only one who still buys DVDs by the way. C
You: With us as a team, it would definitely be a success! ;) We make an amazing team. -D I can't help it if I like having physical copies of some of my favorite movies! -D
Stranger: We do make an amazing team! C I get it. I still buy CDs too. It's just that we don't have a DVD player anymore. C
Stranger: Living together with a digital guy isn't always great. We even have a creepy Google home thingy. I still think it listens to us all the time. C
You: What are you, an animal? No DVD player? How am I supposed to surprise you with a movie night if you don't have a DVD player? I'll have to drag one over to your place just to watch a movie with you! -D
Stranger: I'm sorry! Not my choice, I swear! You know how much I loved my movies. C
Stranger: We could just crawl under a blanket with my laptop. But I think you'll have to take the player along if you want better vision, yeah. C
You: I'll get you one for your birthday. You can hide it from Will, he will never have to know you have a secret DVD player. -D That could work, too. It might not be the best view, but if we squeeze together, I think we can make it work. -D
Stranger: Can you imagine him going through my sock drawer and finding that? C
Stranger: It would make a hilarious scene, for sure. C
Stranger: We managed in our trailers just fine with only a laptop. I'm sure we'll be fine. C
You: Good to know you hide things in your sock drawer. ;) -D I'm personally a fan of having a fake back to my closet. It give me much more room for my private things. -D We'd make it work. It's not like we'd be watching on a phone screen. -D
Stranger: Okay, now you definitely made me curious. What's there? C
You: I can't tell you! That shit's private for a reason, man! -D
Stranger: Oh come on! You always tell me everything. C
Stranger: I'll tell you what's in my sock drawer ;) C
You: Tell me what's in your sock drawer and I'll tell you what's deep in my closet ;) -D
Stranger: I've got another spot though. Sock drawers are rather open. Not to mention small. But there's a particular candy wrapped ring. C
You: You kept that? -D
Stranger: Of course. C
You: I had no idea. -D
Stranger: Well, now you do. C
You: That I do. -D I guess I should tell you what's in my closet, hu? -D
Stranger: Yup. That was the deal, mister! C
You: Me. -D Just kidding! It's more like some pictures and little trinkets, some scrap books. Porn. The usual suspects. -D
Stranger: Trinkets, scrap books and porn. That's a rather hilarious combination. C
Stranger: Like.. I see you watching porn now while suddenly being stopped by sentiment over one of your old trinkets or scraps. C
You: What did you expect me to say? Dildos? -D
Stranger: I honestly have no idea. C
Stranger: I don't think you hide those to be honest. C
You: I.. I don't know if that's ever happened, but now it probably will thanks to you! -D
You: Chris! I'm not even going to get into my dildo collection with you. -D
Stranger: You're very welcome, D. C
Stranger: Oh it's a collection? I'm intrigued, for sure. C
You: Shit. I've said too much already. -D
You: I don't have a collection per se. -D
Stranger: Not a collection, but more than one. C
Stranger: Don't worry. I definitely do have a collection. It's great, nothing to be ashamed for. C
You: I'm not ashamed! I'm proud of them all! -D
You: But you've piqued my interest. You have a collection? I never pictured you as the type. -D
Stranger: You didn't? That surprises me, somewhat. C
Stranger: What kind of type am I in your eyes then? C
You: I guess I just figured you were more of a natural guy. Why have toys when you have the real thing, right? -D NOt that I've thought about how you have sex or anything. That would just be weird! -D
Stranger: I do like it natural. But there are ways to involve them in it. Which I like a lot too. C
You: You use them as part of your relations? -D
Stranger: You definitely sound like a posh British guy right now. But yeah, I do. C
You: I guess I learn something new every day! And to think, I thought I knew you so well, Christopher Paul Colfer. -D
Stranger: You know me very well though. You always pull everything out of me without even trying. C
Stranger: Don't you use them as 'part of your relations' then? C
You: No way! -D Not that I think there's anything against that! That's really cool that you use them to add to your sex life with a partner. -D I just don't think that's for me. -D
Stranger: Sorry, probably not very cool to ask a friend about it either. I just thought you did, because you mentioned having more than one and you've been together for so long.. C
You: I'm not quite sure Mia would be into it. She's never brought up wanting to bring her toys into it, and I think she might trash mine if she found out about them. Or steal them. -D
Stranger: Yeah, I get it. You could just casually bring it up sometime. Without mentioning yours. I mean. You're married. You should be able to talk about things like that, right? C
Stranger: It's a shame if you only use them on your own. It's so much better with someone there. C
Stranger: And that's probably the last thing I'm saying about it. This is getting very private and I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable. C
You: Yeah, right. I could just bring it up casually, maybe talk about adding some couple's toys sometime. She's my wife, she should support me for once, right? -D
You: It is? I should definitely find a way to bring it up if it's even better with another person. -D
You: Don't worry,you're not making me feel uncomfortable. I don't mind talking about stuff with you, Chris. -D
Stranger: It definitely is. When you're on your own, you can't make every movement nor can you use every position. And then there's the element of surprise. When you're on your own, you always know what you're gonna do. When you're using toys with someone else holding and using them, every movement or action can be a surprise. To top it off, there's the thing of trying new things. On your own, you stop quicker than with someone else. It's really, really good. C
Stranger: And as your wife she should support you in everything if you ask me. But I'm glad you don't feel uncomfortable. Me neither. C
You: I really think we should stop talking about this, Chris! -D
You: I understand what you're getting at, though. -D
You: She should, but I guess we're just really new to this husband and wife thing, things will get better, I'm sure. -D
You: I never feel uncomfortable around you. I feel like I could tell you all my secrets and you wouldn't judge me or hold them against me. -D
Stranger: That sounds a bit worrisome. Are you okay? C
You: I'm fine, Chris! I'm newly married! I'm living the dream! -D
Stranger: Of course I wouldn't hold them against you. If someone feels free and secure enough to share something like a secret, you should treasure that and respect it. It's a valuable thing. C
Stranger: Living the dream that you hope things will get better in? C
You: I meant our married life! It can only get better from here, it's only day one. We still have a honeymoon to get through. -D
Stranger: Alright. You do! When are you leaving? C
Stranger: I'm probably holding you up from packing and whatnot. C
Stranger: Sorry about that, Dare. C
You: I don't think we leave for a few days. I wasn't really in charge of the details. -D
You: Nah, my stuff's all packed already. I just need to throw my toothbrush and shit in a bag and I'll be good to go. -D
Stranger: Some things just never change, eh? ;) C
You: I'm a simple guy,, what can I say? -D
Stranger: Nothing. You're perfect as you are. C
You: As are you! -D
Stranger: Of course. It's what the P stands for in between Christopher and Colfer. C
You: Ooh! That's a good one! I wish I would have come up with it! -D
Stranger: You'll just have to deal with the E. I can't even come up with a good word with an E. And I'm the writer. Horrible. C
You: Excellent. Exceptional. Exotic. Elegant. -D
Stranger: God. That's so much better than what I came up with. C
You: What did you come up with? -D
Stranger: Eggnog. Ending. Elixir. Ear. Eagle. C
Stranger: You're all of your E's though. Definitely. C
You: Darren Ending Criss. I think it has a good ring to it. -D
Stranger: I'm a bit surprised you didn't go for the Eggnog. I mean. That would be more than unique. C
You: Too many jokes. -D
You: I would turn into Darren That's-Not-Eggnog Criss. No thank you. -D
Stranger: Ohh god! I just spit my coke out. Thanks, love. C
Stranger: Darren Ending Criss sounds like a story about you and me though. C
You: No problem! What else am I here for? -D
You: Ouch. -D
You: Sorry about that. I never meant to hurt you. I really love you, Chris. I don't want you to feel hurt. -D
Stranger: Yes, well. Too late. C
You: Chris... I'm really sorry. We should catch up and have bro time. -D
Stranger: I wasn't mad at all, silly. Only joking. I definitely would like some bro-time though. I could show you my sock drawer ;P C I suddenly have a flashback. Remember on tour with Glee when we were more than a bit tipsy at my birthday and I tried to pronounce your middle name? C
You: Oh thank God! You had me worried there for a minute, Colfer! -D Your sock drawer, hu? I'm down! We should plan something. When are you free? -D Oh God! How could I forget that night? We celebrated way too much that night. It was the best! I think at one point you even called me eggplant. -D
Stranger: You know we're always good, you and me. No worries. C Since I'm the one who's a writer who can work in his pjs.. Almost always? Just tell me when you're available. I'm sure we can make it work. C God, we really did. I had a headache for two days, but it was the best. I definitely called you Eggplant. and Expelliarmus. Because for some reason I was actually able to say that instead of Everett. C
You: Maybe next weekend? Would that work for you? I don't think I have anything going on. I'll have to double check my calendar, though. -D Those were some good times. I almost wish we were still touring like that. I'm pretty sure you came up with even more E names while tipsy than you could today. I don't know how you managed that! Everett isn't even /that/ hard to pronounce, I think that's the funniest part! -D
Stranger: Next weekend is fine by me. Will is gone that weekend with his friends, so even better. Lemme know if you can. I'll block it for now. C Me too. I loved that period. It still feels like it didn't really happen sometimes. Like a dream, too good to be true. C Everett is hard when you're drunk! It's because of the V and the R combined with the E's I guess? C Besides. I don't think I've ever been that drunk again afterwards. Damn. C
You: Perfect! I'll make next weekend work then! That way you don't have spend the whole weekend alone. -D It does feel too good to be true. If I didn't have pictures for proof, I would think it was just a very amazing dream. -D I don't think I had trouble with your name, even while drunk, Christopher Paul Colfer! Maybe you're just a lightweight. ;) -D Hmm, so should I bring a ton of booze and we can have a really good time? Maybe we can see if you can say Everett this time around? ;) -D
Stranger: Ton of booze sounds great. That and your DVDs since all mine are gone. If you're bringing that much booze, you should probably crash here as well though. Can't have you on the road like that! You'll be hitting on the cab driver again ;) C
Stranger: Next to you I'll always be a lightweight. Unfair, really! C
You: Great! I'll start stocking up on booze! Should I smuggle a DVD player over, too, or are we just going to cuddle close and watch on your laptop? -D Of course, I wouldn't want to be a danger on the road, and I guess I shouldn't risk having the sexiest cab driver to tempt me to flirt with him. You remember that guy, right? He was pretty sexy, you have to admit that. -D I can't help it I can hold my booze well! -D
Stranger: I don't mind either way. You may pick :) I'm always in for cuddles though. C He was ridiculously sexy. But maybe that was just because we were both drunk too that time. Hm. I see a pattern.. ;) C I think I actually still have his number somewhere. Wasn't his name Tom? Tim? Something like that? C But it's unfair! Your part Asian and your short! You shouldn't be able to hold your liquor that well. Unfair! C
You: Hmm, I could always bring it just in case. It doesn't mean we need to hook it up and use it if the laptop is easier. -D At least you admit it. I think he's probably the second sexiest man I've ever laid eyes on. Maybe third, but he's totally up there. I'm thinking this means we need to get drunk way more often! -D I think it was something like that. Something short, I know it wasn't anything like Thaddeus. Maybe I should call him up some time and see if he's still driving cabs. -D It's not my fault! Just because I'm short doesn't mean I can't drink with the best of them. Maybe I just have a hollow leg. -D
Stranger: Sounds like a plan. C Of course I admit it! I'm not blind. I'm curious who else is in your top three though. Matt? C You probably shouldn't call the sexiest cab driver now you're married though, Dare. You don't want crap about yourself in the magz. C A hollow leg. That must be it. I could make tons of jokes, but I'll behave. C
You: That is confidential information, Colfer! Matt is pretty high on the list, though. -D Right. That's probably not the best idea. If I just happen to call a cab, and he just /happens/ to be the driver, it's not my fault, right? You can't fault me for wanting to get home safely. -D Now I'm curious what kind of jokes you have up your sleeve. You know I don't mind if you misbehave once in awhile. -D
Stranger: Oh come on. You already told me about your secret stashroom in your closet, your dildo collection and now you can't tell me that? Boring ;) C Definitely not. I think I'll have to join you on that drive though. Just to make sure you'll come home safely of course. C I already misbehave too much whenever you're near. Remember when I hit on that bouncer to get us in that club? Or the time you dared me to flirt with that waiter for free desserts? You ruin me! C
You: I have to keep a little mystery! I don't want you knowing who I think about when using my secret stash! ;) I think that might be too much information, even for us. -D Of course. You're just that good of a friend. You wouldn't want the sexy cab driver to kidnap me or anything! -D Both of those things were totally worth it in my opinion! If we can get things out of misbehaving just a little, what's the harm? -D
Stranger: Probably right there. Alright. I'll let you have your mystery ;) C I definitely wouldn't want that! If he does, at least he should take me along as well. C Very true. C Fuck. I really missed you. C
You: Thanks. I can't be giving away all the juicy secrets of my life! -D Hmm, so you want us to be kidnapped as sex slaves together. I see. At least I know I wouldn't be alone! ;) -D Sorry, that sounded weird, I never thought about being kidnapped as his sex slave or anything! Just had to clarify that! -D We should go out and one of us can fake propose to get our meal and desserts on the house again! That was fun! I feel like that was a good exercise in acting, too. -D I've missed you too. I'm really looking forward to catching up with you. -D
Stranger: I'll pull them out of you when you've got enough booze in you anyway ;) C You definitely did think about that. Bad, Dare! Very bad. And hot. Which I am going to ignore right now. C Oh my god. I seriously tried to block that from my mind!! We were so lucky there wasn't anyone nearby who knew us. I mean. I burst out crying and actually kissed you in the middle of a full restaurant! It was tremendous fun though. C Me too, Dare. Glad I'm gonna have you for two days. I'll make the most of it! C
You: Oh, I think I can keep this one to myself. It's just one of those things that I just can't let anyone know. Not even you. -D I did not! I was just worried for my safety! I don't think about being kidnapped and tied up by sexy men! I'm married, remember? That would just be weird. -D It was really fun! I guess we were pretty lucky nobody knew us. We probably couldn't get away with that now, hu? I don't blame you for kissing me. We were just in the moment, and we really sold it. I think it paid off. We had everyone around us congratulating us. -D We will definitely have to pack as much fun into those days as we can. We have a lot of time to make up for and a lot of gossip to share! Plus, a lot of booze to consume and secrets to spill! ;) -D
Stranger: Intriguing. C Oh yes, definitely weird. I'm not married, so I can think about it, right? ;) C They were all so happy for us! I felt guilty though. I mean. We were so happy together. They must think you broke my heart now they see this news about you. C Cuddling, Booze, Dvds, sockdrawers, Lots of take out, Gossip, Secrets. Definitely. Maybe I'll even tell you my top three ;) Can't wait! C
You: Not with my man, you can't! ;) -D Fine, I guess you're allowed to think about it. Who am I to stop you. -D I didn't even think of that. I'm sorry if anyone thinks that. Maybe you could get some sympathy dessert out of it if we go back to that restaurant. -D Ooh, I'd love to know your top three! I'm guessing Will is one of them, though. I'd say you owe me the fourth, since Will is the obvious one, but since I'm keeping my number one to myself, I guess we're even. It all sounds so fun! I'm really getting excited now! -D
Stranger: Thanks for letting me borrow your man. Very generous, Dare. C Oh god. Can you imagine? It would be a total scam if I did that, haha. C I will tell you that Will isn't in the top three. Whoops. He's in my top ten though. C Me too! Counting the days, actually. C
You: I'm a generous guy. It would be a shame to keep him all to myself. -D Free dessert, though! How can you say no to free chocolate lava explosion or whatever that delicious dessert was? -D He's not? Wow. Now I really want to get some booze in you and dig some secrets out of you! ;) Top ten? Not even top 5? -D It's less than a week. That's not too bad. I think we can make it through. -D
Stranger: Oh yess! That dessert was to die for! I totally forgot. Maybe I should go back after all. It would be a perfect dessert combined with an opportunity to act my heart out. Sounds great, really. C Oh shit. I totally implied that with saying ten, didn't I? Damn it. I'm not good at keeping secrets for you! C
You: It'll be perfect practice for when you get that next acting gig! We should totally do it! It'll be fun! -D You kind of did. Does that mean he's ten or like eighth in line? I love that you can't keep secrets from me by the way! ;) -D
Stranger: I'm so going to regret this. But,.. alright! C He's on 7. God. I'm the worst boyfriend. Of course you love that. You're evil like that. C
You: Great! I can't wait! We're going to have such a blast! We'll get to act our asses off! Wait, if I'm the one breaking your heart, does that mean I can't share the dessert with you? Maybe I should re-think this. -D Seven. Hmm. So there's six guys ahead of him. Good to know. I'll be sure to pack extra booze just in case! I don't think it really makes you a bad boyfriend, though. It's not like you're acting on it and sleeping with all of them. I can't help it if I'm a little evil. You love me anyway! -D
Stranger: Prepare for a hysterical me. I'll ask for a doggy back and we'll eat it at my place. C Oh shit. No He's at eight. I miscounted. C I haven't slept with /all/ of them, no. I mean. If I had, I probably wouldn't be with number 8 of course. C Can't help it. I do love you. C
You: Sounds like a perfect plan! You can run off and leave me, and I'll meet you back at your place! -D Eight? Wow. I still don't think that makes you a bad boyfriend. Just because you're with someone in a committed relationship doesn't mean you can't look and have a few fantasies. -D Ooh, so that means you've slept with /some/ of them. I feel like I'm slowly chipping away to all the juicy deetz now! And I didn't even have to add booze! -D And I love you, Chris. I don't know who wouldn't. You're the most amazing guy. -D
Stranger: I'll be as dramatic as possible. You'll love it. C I slept with two of them, mister curious. C See? You really pull it all out from me. It's magic. You're secretly using your wand, aren't you? I feel like I'm under the Imperious. C Cutie. I could show you a list, but I like to keep you in that mindset. C
You: This is going to be good! Is it bad to say I'm a little excited to fake break your heart? -D Ooh! Now I know where exactly to dig once you've had a few drinks! ;) You're making this way too easy for me, Chris! -D Oh, I'd love to use my wand on you. I guess I'll just have to settle for using my charm! -D A list? Let me at them. I'll show them the error of their ways. -D
Stranger: Oh I'm sure you're excited about it. It's your daily job after all. C Bugger. I dug a hole for myself, didn't I? I ll just have to make sure I'll pull it out of you as well though. With your mysterious number one. C You love to use your wand on me, eh? C
You: What do you mean by that? -D You've definitely dug a hole for yourself and I'm not letting you fill it back in until I get to the bottom of it! Ooh, you're on. I'm pretty sure I'm keeping my lips sealed shut on my number one. I'll never tell him. I could never. There's too much to risk. -D Of course I'd love to use my wand on you! Who wouldn't want to put you under their spell? -D
Stranger: I guess we'll both keep our number ones a secret then. Can't risk the most valuable things in life after all. C You already have me under your spell, Dare. I don't even need your wand or a potion for that ;) C You're Harry Freaking Potter! C
You: You're not going to tell me your number one? :(( You're no fun! -D Hmm, if you're under my spell, I'll get all 1-7 out of you! I'll just pull out some good tequila and you'll be like putty in my hands! -D Damn right I am! Don't forget it! ;) -D
Stranger: (UUgh I'm falling asleep and not because you're bad, because you're more than awesome, but it's like the middle of the night in here >.<. I'm sorry! You were brilliant though! Thank you for the awesome rp, love! Hope to see you again one time!
You: (Goodnight! Hopefully we'll run into each other again! It was fun! )
Stranger: Defek
Stranger: Definitely! :) <3
