If you’re ever looking for more christian fantroll friends please let me know ^^ i’ve always known about God but i’ve just recently come to know Him in the past year and it’s been beautiful ✌️

aaaa that's so awesome! God bless!

and sure! I love seeing other people's fantrolls, lots of interesting designs and personalities!

I have, like, 13 fantrolls so far. some of them are still a work in progress tho lol

the three I'm currently focused on are Wiscea, Currus, and Markos.

Wiscea is mean and loud, always wants to fight, and she speaks with a strong british accent lol.

Currus is basically emo, he gets bullied and attacked a lot for being sensitive and a downer.

Markos is Currus's moirail, he likes to make idie horror games.

they're probably basic, but I'm having fun with them lol

➥ One of your favorite lines (or paragraphs) you wrote in 2024:

I'm giving you two and theyre both idia quotes:

The offer was on the table, and it was up to Idia what happened next. The following five seconds stretched across what felt like eons to them both as Idia focused all his energy on trying not to literally pass out on the bench and take Cater down with him, or get overwhelmed by the possibility that if he DID kiss Cater, Cater might immediately throw up all over him and run away screaming. Really, it wasn’t that he didn’t WANT to kiss Cater, but what if he died? What if they both died!?

^ Blue Raspberry Mango

“...Some one, more like it…” Idia snickered.  And then gasped, a look of horror replacing his expression instantly. “Wait- SERIOUSLY? You- AZUL?!” “Shut up!" Jamil hissed, dropping down beside Idia to cover his mouth. “Don’t be so loud!” “Ugh, EW…” Idia grimaced once Jamil pulled away. “I didn’t expect you of all people to have such shit-tier taste in guys.”

^ Double Sided Pining Coin

I didn't realize those were both 2024 lol what a wild and long year. i love writing idia even though i've only done it a few times lol he's soooo much fun to just go ham with.

➥ A fun fact/easter egg/trivia fact for a fic you worked on in 2024:

i cant think of anything surprisingly lol usually i have a lot to say!! but i guess a fun fact about my ao3 stats is that 2 of my top 5 longest fics are ones i wrote in 2024 [3 if you include the fact that the top one is my multichap fic and i wrote a chunk of it in 2024] and theyre both 5k idi/kei and jami/azu fics lol. something about writing those pairs together makes me bonkers. i love how silly they are on their own and even moreso putting them together. theyre fun ships and i looove the board game club's funny hater friendship, and i also like playing with the concepts of the rest of them being friends/interacting in some degree lol

➦ The title or working title of a fic you're currently working on/planning for 2025:

working title "leocay situationship divorce drama" lol. idk if ill write it into a whole thing, i kinda just wrote down a scene that was haunting me and i have an overall vision for the vibe, ive had this vague idea in my head for a few years now but skdfjklsd i'm kind of shy about it so maybe itll just stay in the drafts. or maybe The Madness will overtake me on a whim and itll find it's way on ao3, we'll see lol.

➦ A scene or fic idea that you want to write/try writing for but intimidates you: (very optional but let's put those stretch goals out!)

^ that one over there LOL ummm also. i have considered many a time writing some of my caterella plotlines, some of which include my twst ocs. but im too shy LOL.....

more reasonably, i do have a trey/cater wip that ive begun but it's a long process because it's one i'm taking my time with, a fic that explores cater and trey [and riddle!!!] as characters and their relationships with each other, like snapshots of scenes from when trey and cater first meet at orientation throughout their years at nrc. i was gonna try and get it out before heartslabyul's section of book 7 began but it's just too slow a process, and now we may or may not get more backstory lore of the beloved trio that i could integrate... if it doesnt destroy me in the process JKLFDSKGHGJ i love my heartslabyuls sooo much so i want to write it with care..... but i get SCARED when i'm going beyond just silly goofy time [tho it will also be silly goofy time. i know who i am]

✦ A link to your ao3 or other posting platform so people can see what you've been up to and what you're going to be up to: :3

My ao3 is here! i also tag "#cereal writes" for cross posting, and sometimes here i post out of context wip lines or babble about my trials and tribulations of writing but i dont really tag those so u kinda just gotta catch me in the act teehee

Duckvember Day 10: Horror

Crawling out of the mud to post this. Got a rush of inspiration and now this is a thing. There’s some mistakes but at this point I’m content with it. I’ve definitely improved and it makes me feel good knowing I’m improving slowly but surely.

Anyhow, this is for @darkwingsnark’s annual Duckvember and I hope people like the only duck character I’m familiar with.

[bagofwetmice]

i watched a video about a horror indie game "No one lives under the lighthouse" recently and apparently it's pretty scary. it's around 5€ and 3 to 10 hours of playtime if you do everything you can in the game. "A retro horror game, in which you arrive at the old lighthouse on a small island near the coast of the United States. After the previous keeper has gone missing, you need to take over his duties and watch after the light." And i've heard a lot of praise for "Iron Lung" Oceangate titan submersible simulator - also an idie horror game! it is shorter and more expensive though, 7€ for 1.5 hours of playtime [ 3 hours if you're a completionist] "A short horror game where you pilot a tiny submarine through an ocean of blood on an alien moon."

do y‘all got any recommendations for games/shows?

Chapter 2 – Run Rabbit Run     God… It was such an awful day. He was given the day off from work for feeling sick, and on his way to his dorm right around the corner to his hallway he stepped on something… Red. Blood. It looked fresh too. He just thought alright- maybe some girl was having a messy day, but there was more. Droplets were now little puddles of red. All the way to his room where it looked like some ketchup monster fell over against the door. And started… Crawling. All the way to the bathroom. Smith gently opened the door.    He could remember it in so much detail. Most of it just being blood. Lots and lots of blood everywhere- all coming from his roommate who was bleeding to death in the bathtub. He literally looked like he was tossed into a cage full of angry tigers. And that’s only slightly exaggerating. It looked like something just out of a horror movie. After his friend got sent to the hospital for several days, he got asked a lot about what happened- always giving them the strangest response. He kept saying that a man did this to him. All these gashes and tears were caused by a… Human male. They weren’t sure if it was just the anesthetics when they first asked him, but he stuck to the story.    He thought he saw this woman getting attacked, and he ran over to try and help. But when he got closer, then man who pinned her to the ground was… Eating her. Tearing her apart with his hands and teeth. And then he went for Hunter.   Smith was really worried about his friend after he returned home. Almost immediately when he thought he was okay he returned and then they were both sick as hell. Then the emergency broadcast came on TV, and Smith was just suddenly in- immense amounts of pain. He couldn’t see right, and it literally felt like his insides were moving around in him. He tried to go get his friend. Tell him they were a lot sicker then they thought. Right in front of the door he collapsed on the ground, and everything went black from there. That was his last memory. The last moments in a normal world.

   Common infected littered the streets- dead and alive. Most of them just wandering around aimlessly, sleeping in any place they found fit, and some just starting random baby fights over who would get to eat this person’s body. Being infected was at least handy in the aspect the commons didn’t pay much attention to you. Sometimes they’d try and attack you just because they’re brainless morons now. But a full on horde was never really a problem to him. Just crowded. He was one of them, they were one of him. He hated to think about that, but it was true.    The rain let up on him finally, which was the first convenient thing that happened to him today. He wasn’t gonna get absolutely drenched anymore. But he still kept an eye out for anything that could be… Following him. From the few things he’s seen, he knew that special infected could be very efficient hunters. And they may not hesitate to attack their own kind- so he moved along swiftly down the street.    Smith wandered out to a giant intersection in town, and took a moment to look around at the buildings surrounding him. He’s gone quite a distance from home. A thing or two here was ever so slightly familiar. But whatever it was It was now in shambles, and either on fire or it looked like it was about to collapse at any moment. He continued along, trying to stay concealed under the shadows of buildings. He already drew enough attention to himself with the occasional coughing and wheezing. At least from what he’s seen most smoker’s have a green mist around them. He was gifted enough to not have that, unless a tumor got popped open or punctured. Then there will be stink mist and weird goo dripping out of him. It was… Really gross. He hated it. There was still a lot to get used to with this mutation. But he felt like he was never going to get used to it. Who can just suddenly get used to a new body like this after living with a normal human one for 27 years?    This session of moping was suddenly cut off when he heard something. Something small was flashing red in the distance, and… Beeping? It definitely got the attention of several common infected, and they all ran over to start hitting and attacking it. Then just like that the thing exploded- sending zombie part flying everywhere    “WHOO! That was a BIG one!” Some dude ran over to the gorey aftermath and laughed about it. Four other people followed behind him- three girls and another guy it looked like. The boy who just threw that bomb looked pretty young- maybe in his last years of high school. He had messy brown hair and wore a torn up leather jacket. He seemed… A little too happy about there being zombie guts everywhere. One of the girls started scolding him for running over and laughing about the bomb explosion. “This isn’t a game you know!” She was a short blonde woman, looking like she may have been Asian. Her hair was in a bob cut and oddly neat for it being the end of the world. The other three people was a girl with light brown hair up in a ponytail, and seemed a lot sharper then the rest of the team. Seemed like she was maybe the leader?    The other woman had shoulder length hair that was pitch black, with a little bit of purple faded into it. She looked like she could have been your junior high bully, or the biggest mcr fan you’ve ever met. She was a little gruff, but in more of a charismatic way. She also seemed to get along with the leader girl.    The last man was taller then everyone else, had neat brown hair and glasses, and had a neat turtleneck sweater that was now covered with blood and other stains. He was trying to help lead around the rowdy boy, who was very disobedient and kept trying to screw around with the infected before he chopped their head off with an axe. “Look Ed- I know we’ve been in the safehouse for a few days, and you’re excited to be out! But you can’t just run off and be a reckless idi-” “Cram it, Goodman.” Ed shoved a pistol into a sleeping zombies mouth and fired. He snapped his head to the right real fast and stared blankly into the alleyway. “You coming?” The queen of emo asked him. Goodman had a map with them and they were trying to figure out where they were, and where they were gonna be heading. “Yeah sorry, I thought I saw something.” The boy shrugged and went back to the rest of the group.    ‘Shit.’ Smith thought frantically- hiding behind a dumpster. If it wasn’t so damn dark here they may have saw him. Shit- He seemed to have… Misjudged how far away the survivors actually were. Good god- how could he get out of here. Should he just wait it out? They might go in the direction he wanted to go. But he also wasn’t going anywhere specifically. Just away from this place. He put his hand over his lumpy neck for a moment, feeling… Odd? And quickly he slapped both his hands over his mouth. God damn it- another coughing fit. At the worst possible time too. He tries to hard to make these stop, but he just… Can’t. It’s too difficult, and not to say painful as well.    Ed looked down that same alley again, squinting a bit and only half listening to what the group was discussing. Sounded like something was… Wheezing? Crying? Coughing? He couldn’t really tell. “Where are you goi-” “Chill out pipsqueak, I just think I head something.” He readied a sniper rifle and cautiously approached the area. “Uh… Hello? Any zombies making love back here?” He asked, peeking around the corner. Smith’s heart almost stopped right there and then when he heard how close he was getting. He proceeded to press himself against the dumpster and think of what to do. He was gonna need to act fast if he wanted to live. He looked to the side very slowly and saw the tip of the gun… “Hey! What are you doing back there!?” The emo girl yelled over. Ed turned around and responded “Something back here smells like shit, I wanted to see wh-”    Before he could finish that sentence he got socked in the face and someone’s knees slammed directly into the crotch. He fell on the ground writhing in pain, and Smith took the chance to grab his gun and start running off. “Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck-” Everyone was on him now, and there was a dead end. Wonderful. It was mostly covered by wooden planks, but more to the side he could see the fence was made of chains. He was probably gonna die right now anyways, but he may as well go down trying to save himself. The survivors ran over to see their injured friend, who had a bloody nose and probably no more balls. “What was that!? Did you see??” Goodman helped him up and watched the leader chase the attacker. “Megan’s going after it. I think it was a… Zombie? Pen, did you see him?” “Yeah, he looked like a zombie I’m pretty sure.” The short girl said. “Looks like he came to avenge his fallen comrades.” She looked at Ed with a small sneer.    Megan chased the smoker down all the way to a dead end, where he just dropped the sniper rifle and started climbing the fence. Right as he got to the top she ran to snatch the gun, quickly took aim, and fired. With a shriek he fell off the fence on the other side, writing and pain. She got him in his left arm, and he was bleeding out fast. He was on the other side though, so he pushed himself back up and started booking it out of there. Megan sighed softly and returned to her friends. “I drove him off. Don’t worry, I don’t think he’ll be coming back.”

   Smith had been running for a good long while- grasping his arm tightly and breathing heavily. The troubling thing now is that he was bleeding a lot, and things started to get… Blurry. He leaned against a wall real quick, trying to catch his breathe. Problem was it didn’t feel like he was catching his breathe. Ever. He wheezed loudly with each inhale and exhale, but it felt like almost no oxygen got into him. His legs were shaky, he felt weak… God, he was so tired. He glanced at his shoulder for a second and-

”SHIT!” He screamed and saw someone reaching over to him. Once more he socked them in the face- sending them onto the ground. They scrambled away for a moment, and then Smith pulled out his shotgun. ”DON’T FUCKING MOVE!” He screamed, wheezing loudly afterwards. ”Waitwaitwait don’t shoot don’t shoot!” The man shouted back, sounding terrified. He was holding his hands up, and neither of them moved for several moments. The guy was in a spot Smith couldn’t really see him. Damn it, the sun was about to set soon. Everything was dark.    “Okay… I want you to stand on up, and walk over here slowly.” Smith sighed. He felt like he was gonna faint any moment now.   “Okay-! Alright. Just… Don’t freak out, okay?” The man was a lot calmer now, and proceeded to stand up. He took each step forward with caution, and didn’t take his eye off Smith or the shotgun for even a second. And the smoker right there and then almost fainted from what he saw.    “I’m sorry, you just looked… Wait, you’re injured.” Was what the man had to say. The guy had his brown hair in a small ponytail, he was terribly obese, he wore a blue coat with a white shirt underneath it, and he looked at Smith not with fear anymore. But with concern. “I heard gunshots not too far away. Were people trying to hurt you.” Still frozen in place, Smith just continued staring at the man. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. The guy seemed completely normal, yeah. Except for the bulging tumor covering his right eye, and the two smaller ones visible on his neck.

[straight-to-the-pain]

Okay but are you going to share your list of whumpy films because I seriously need some new recommendations!

Film Recommendations 

I’m sorry this has taken so long, but it turned out that I had a lot of recommendations so I needed to figure out a way to group them. I’ve decided to highlight some of my favourites and give them little descriptions, and list some other films in the same vein that you might enjoy. These are all films that I’ve watched and I haven’t included any ratings or content warnings, but those can be easily found online. Please feel free to shoot me an ask if you want to know more about any specific film! Edit: not all of these are inherently whumpy, some of them are just films that I’ve enjoyed but not for whump reasons.

-> Martial Arts 

The Raid 2: you should definitely start with the first one, but this is my favourite simply because of the very fun dynamic between the undercover cop and the known criminal and some beautiful knife content (also this is the favourite film of my notorious eye liking friend, and he would like you to watch it ;) 

The Night Comes For Us: this is basically just pure violence but it is wonderful, there’s some great murder lesbians and a garrotte yoyo and a lot of really good silat fighting (and Iko Uwais is very cute when covered in blood)

Other films you might enjoy include: Chocolate (2008), The Raid, Headshot, Ong-Bak, The Protector (2005) 

-> War

Mine: a soldier gets stuck in the desert for 52 hours after stepping on a mine, featuring dehydration, hallucinations, some shooting and a surprising amount of romance for a film with only one main character 

Saving Private Ryan: a group of soldiers try to locate one of their colleagues during the Normandy landings, features gunfights, field medicine and general scenes of war

Other films you might enjoy include: The Railway Man, Unbroken, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Dunkirk, The Book Thief, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Life is Beautiful, The Pianist, Inglourious Basterds, Hacksaw Ridge, Imitation Game

-> Sci-fi

Blade Runner: this one’s a classic but it does have some great action scenes and a wonderful aesthetic (including someone being shot in the rain in a transparent coat) and of course ‘eye world’ so I can’t not recommend it 

Other films you might enjoy include: Gattaca, The Matrix, Inception, The Martian 

-> Action 

John Wick: I’m sure most people are familiar with the franchise, but it truly has everything you could want: knives, guns, gangsters, branding, plenty of revenge, and a lead who will do anything for his wife and dog 

Reservoir Dogs: a classic about a robbery gone wrong, featuring some great torture, plenty of dramatic death sequences set to fun music and all the blood you would expect from a Tarantino film 

Other films you might enjoy include: Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Cold Light of Day, Arena, Ocean’s Eleven (2001), The Boondock Saints, Trance (2013), Acts of Violence, Mad Max: Fury Road, Baby Driver 

-> Espionage 

The Man from UNCLE: this film manages to be funny but also give us some brilliant torture at the same time, and the rivalry between the two spies who are forced to work together is brilliant, plus there’s a surprising amount of scenes where people get beaten up in bathrooms which is always an added bonus 

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: this one’s all about the intrigue and tension of finding a mole within MI6 in Cold War times, but there’s also a fair amount of threats and implied torture, sad but satisfying in a way that’s hard to explain 

Other films you might enjoy include: Red Sparrow, Kingsman, The Lives of Others, Argo, Johnny English 

-> Political Thrillers 

The Last King of Scotland: this film follows the life of a Scottish doctor who becomes the personal physician of the Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin, featuring political intrigue and some really fun torture involving being suspended from the ceiling by metal hooks 

Other films you might enjoy include: Salvador (1986), Colonia, Munich

-> Horror 

Red Dragon: the prequel to Silence of the Lambs, this film about an FBI agent searching for a serial killer obsessed with mirrors, starts with a breathtaking stabbing that I had to rewatch a couple times, and has some haunting shots as well as plenty of suspense and action 

Would You Rather: a sadistic game orchestrated by a rich man will only end when one person is left standing, and the contestants are prepared to go to brutal ends to ensure they win the prize money, has some fun gore and whipping and of course the terrible dilemma of hurting others or yourself

Hostel: this is probably the most gory film on the list, with some very graphic torture scenes, and I would say the unfortunate fate of the young travellers is almost comical, watch for the slightly slapstick gore and a fun time 

-> Others 

The Green Mile: this film follows the lives and executions of several death row inmates, including one with an exceptional gift, as well as some expected brutality from a sadistic guard 

The Princess Bride: this one is pretty lighthearted, but as the origin of my blog title, I couldn’t not mention it. With sword fighting, loyal gentlemen and even a bit of torture, this is probably the origin story of many a whump lover. 

And many more examples of whump in media can be found here, in the @whumpapedia. Please feel free to add more films or leave your suggestions in the comments, because I know I’m always on the lookout for more!

Big Damn Heroes Chapter One

AT4W Round Robin fanfic so far written by @twincityhacker and myself. Also on AO3.

Summery: “You know, one of these days he’s going to be halfway through the review and we’ll have already saved the world without him.”

The Entity is dead but Vyce won’t believe it and is now planning to destroy the Earth in his quest to kill something that isn’t there anymore. This is a ‘what if’ story about how Linkara’s friends could have been the ones to save the day.

Chapter Summary: While this is mostly how things started to happen after the Entity died, there are a few more details and things start to diverge from what actully happened at the end of The Sleepwalker storyline.

Word Count: 2344

Author’s Notes: This is a Round Robin fanfic to celebrate AT4W reaching its 500th episode. If you’d like to take part and write part of it or help in some other way, send me a message and I’ll send you a link to the google doc.

90’s Dude is still called 90’s Kid at this point in the storyline so, for simplicities sake, that’s what he’s called here.

Linksano, Harvey Finevoice, Pollo, 90’s Kid and Lord Vyce all watched the screen on the bridge of Comicron-One as it showed them the events unfollowing aboard Comicron-Two. They stared transfixed as Linkara reassured MissingNo through its last moments. 90’s Kid and Lord Vyce watched the closest as the Outer God of unimaginable power faded away and accepted death.

If 90’s Kid hadn’t been so absorbed in the events on the other ship, him might have recognised the danger that Lord Vyce now posed. Unfortunately, he was too concerned with the death of the Entity to notice anything else. In all likelihood, those few extra seconds wouldn’t have made a difference anyway. Vyce was like an unstoppable force of nature when he set his mind on something, it was the reason he had survived so long.

“No,” Vyce cried and his clenched fist came down with a clang. Everyone turned to him as he continued, “NO! It’s a trick! It’s still alive!”  Vyce quickly began pressing buttons on the arm of his chair.

“What the hell are you doing?” Harvey asked taking a step towards Vyce but not reaching for his weapon yet.

“I have increased power to the singularity generators,” there was no remorse in his voice or uncertainty that he might be doing the wrong thing. He seemed proud as he insisted, “There is no escape now!”

“Nims! Lock him out!” Harvey cried desperately as he moved towards Vyce.

“Unable to comply,” came the voice from the speakers. Vyce pulled his weapon out and pointed it at Harvey’s heart, Harvey froze. “This Unit no longer has full control of Comicron-One.”

The weapon moved slightly to point in Linksano’s direction. Linksano held his hands up to show they were empty and backed away until he was against the wall. The memory of Vyce’s hands around his throat, chocking the him, flashed vividly in his mind and he tried to swallow his fear but found himself unable to think clearly.

While Vyce pointed his weapon threateningly in Harvey and Linksano’s direction, Pollo flew and 90’s Kid ran forwards from Vyce’s other side. Vyce swung his weapon around and fired it at Pollo who only just managed to dodge out of the way.

90’s Kid reached the console on Vyce’s chair and started typing commands in as quickly as he could, trying to undo Vyce’s instructions.

Vyce hesitated for less than a second before attacking. Using his free hand, he hit 90’s Kid squarely in the chest with enough force to send him crashing backwards. 90’s Kid let out a strangled scream and his vision went white as his left shoulder connected with the metal floor of the bridge.

Vyce had already turned away. He switched the view on the screen from the bridge of Comicron-Two to the growing portal in space. “In one hour, the singularity will be large enough to engulf the Earth itself. The Entity will NOT escape this time! Their sacrifice will not be in vain. I will kill the Entity!”

From the floor, 90’s Kid tried to focus through the pain and listen to what Vyce was saying. Harvey, Linksano and Pollo watched in horror as Vyce raised a triumphant fist in victory, “Behold the end of this game! Lord Vyce wins!”

Before the others had a chance to do anything, Vyce hit a few more buttons sending Harvey, Linksano and Pollo to the ship’s brig. A few more taps and Nimue was completely locked out.

90’s Kid struggled slowly to his feet and fought down his nausea. The world spun dizzyingly around him and black spots obscured his view.

His left arm felt wrong. It didn’t seem to be hanging right. 90’s Kid deliberately didn't look at it and tried his best to ignore the pain. When he was sure that he wasn’t going to be sick, he opened his mouth and begged imploringly, “Please, Vyce. Don’t do this! You’re smarter than this!”

Vyce sighed and turned back to 90’s Kid. “I am sorry that I hit you so hard and for what I am about to do, but surely, you of all people understand why I have no choice.”

“Don’t be an idi…” 90’s Kid started to say but then he stopped because, no matter how faulty Vyce’s thought prosses currently was, he did understand. He took a deep breath and started again in a calmer voice, “Just think about this for a second, dude. Please, close the portal and think. If it is a trick, we need a new plan.”

“While you may act the part of a clown, you are the only one amongst the Champions companions that I have respect for,” Vyce told him, shaking his head sadly. “You recognised the danger before the others and knew to act on it. I am sorry for what I must do to protect all of reality.”

Vyce pressed some more buttons and teleported 90’s Kid away to the brig too. After a moment of looking at the spot where 90’s Kid had just been standing, Vyce turned away. He banished any regret from his mind and concentrated on what was important. Eyes on the viewing screen, he made a vow to the Entity that he knew was still out there,

“As it was before, shall it be again; Lord Vyce alone with his ship against the Entity. Let it take me to the edge of eternity if it must, I will end you.”

90’s Kid found himself teleported into the brig with Pollo, Harvey and Linksano. He swayed on his feet and Harvey ran forwards to catch him before he could collapse. 90’s Kid couldn’t stop himself from whimpering in pain as his arm was jostled.

“Sorry, 90’s,” Harvey said, rearranging his grip on 90’s Kid.

“Are you okay?” Pollo asked 90’s Kid as Harvey lead him to a small bed. 90’s Kid slid gratefully into a sitting position on the bed and nodded.

“Fine, dude,” 90’s Kid said as reassuring as he could.

Linksano rolled his eyes behind his goggles, “You’re not fine,” he strode forwards. “Here let me take a look.”

As carefully as he could, Linksano removed 90’s Kid’s top. 90’s Kid bit his lip to stop himself from crying out in pain. Linksano gave a long whistle, Pollo swore and Harvey clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles went white when they saw what 90’s Kid’s top had been hiding. His left arm hung limply from his side and there was a dark, nasty looking bruise in the shape of a hand on his chest.

Linksano was the first to recover. His hand went to the side of his goggles and his fiddled for a moment before letting out a frustrated breath and gently running his hand over 90’s Kid’s shoulder. “I don’t think it’s broken, just dislocated.”

“Can you fix it?” 90’s Kid asked.

“Well… I can put it back in its socket but it’s going to hurt.”

90’s Kid clenched the fist of his other hand, “Do it.”

With a wince, Linksano grabbed 90’s Kid’s arm and pushed it back into position with a sickening pop. 90’s Kid’s vision went white with pain for the second time. He leant against the wall, breathing heavily until he could see properly again.

Linksano, Harvey and Pollo were looking at him with worried faces. He gave them a thin smile, “Thanks. I’m good now, my dudes.”

He sat back in a more comfortable position and let the pain from his shoulder slowly fade, there wasn’t much he could do about the pain from the bruise. When the pain had faded enough, he pulled his top back on.

90’s Kid looked around the room for the first time. It was small, probably only meant for holding one person at a time, not three humans and a robot. 90’s Kid was sat on the only bed, on the opposite wall was a thick metal covered in locks and bolts, in one corner there was a toilet and a sink and, other than the speaker in the corner of the ceiling, the room was completely bare.

90’s Kid noticed Harvey’s eyes moving slowly around the room too. With a sigh he told him, “It’s no good, dude. There’s nothing in here we can use to escape.”

“Indeed,” Linksano agreed. “If I had some of my tools with me maybe but unfortunately, there’s also a dampening field in place. My goggles are just working on regular vision right now.”

“None of my weapons or communications are working either,” Pollo informed them. “I can’t transfer my consciousness to one of my other bodies. It’s only my shields that stop the dampening field from deactivating me completely.”

Linksano’s face suddenly broke into a smile as he fiddled with his goggles, “No wait!” they looked at him expectantly, “Twitter’s still working so not a total loss.” The others let out a collective breath they hadn't realised they were holding.

“We’ve gota do something!” Harvey insisted. “We can’t let bucket brain do that to…”

He was interrupted as the speaker crackled to life, “Err guys, what’s going on?” came a familiar voice.

“Linkara!?” 90’s Kid asked in disbelief.

“Ye, it’s me,” came the reply. “Why is the portal getting bigger? The Entity killed itself again. We need to shut that thing down.”

“It’s Vyce, dude,” 90’s Kid said, struggling to his feet. “He’s gone totally bogus. He thinks the Entity just tricked us all again and he’s gonna to use the portal to swallow the Earth and stop it!”

Linkara let out a frustrated noise, “because of course he did!” The speakers went silent for a few moments before he asked, “Okay, the portal will close on its own if the Entity goes into it, right?”

“Right. I can try to access the satellites to reverse it,” Linksano told him. He sighed before admitting, “Unfortunately, we’re kind of in the brig right now and the long we wait, the larger the portal will get and the harder it will be to do that.”

“I think I have a plan forming,” Linkara’s voice said over the speaker. “Give me a little time to work on it.”

“How long?” Harvey asked.

“Mm twenty, thirty minutes. Length of a review, I think,” Linkara admitted.

“Seriously, right now!?” Harvey asked incredulously. “Kid! Priorities!”

“I do have my priorities,” Linkara told them. “One of those priorities is the ability to pay rent should we survive all of this. I’ll call you back when I’m ready.” The speaker cut out.

Pollo’s light blinked off and on again, which was his version of rolling his eyes, “You know, one of these days he’s going to be halfway through the review and we’ll have already saved the world without him.”

Harvey growled, “Well, I ain’t waitin’.” He turned to the others, “Whether or not the kid succeeds, we’ve gotta try and get out of here and help, right?”

The others nodded.

“I mean, obviously,” Linksano said, “but I don’t see what we can do stuck in here.”

“I’m pretty useless, right now,” Pollo said bitterly. “If my gun was working, I could try to break through the door but I doubt it would help.”

90’s Kid looked around the room again and his eyes settled on the door before they flicked back to Linksano. Suddenly he started to laugh but he stopped quickly because it made his ribs and shoulder hurt. He grinned despite the pain as he really thought about thing for the first time.

“Are you okay, 90’s Kid?” Pollo asked.

“Ye, dude!” 90’s Kid said happily. “I’ve just worked out the totally bodacious way we’re getting out of here and what Vyce was planning to do if he ever ended up trapped here.”

“How and what, 90’s?” Harvey asked.

90’s Kid turned to Linksano, “Well, assuming that your goggles really are still connected to Twitter,” Linksano nodded, “then you just need to tweet some of our friends asking for help and I bet at least one of them answers.”

“Huh… yes, that could work,” Linksano admitted. “Why didn’t I think of that?”

“And what would Lord Vyce do if he was captured and sent to his own prison?” Pollo asked.

“Well, he’s always the dude with the bitching back-up plans,” 90’s Kid told them. “He would definitely have a plan for what to do if he was somehow defeated and sent here. There’s probably some spoken code that would let him straight out but I doubt we’d crack it. However, I do know what he’d do if he wanted to stay in here a while without anyone reaching him.”

“What?” Harvey asked.

“Look at the door, dude.”

They all turned to look.

“It looks like a regular prison door to me,” Pollo said.

“Yes, locks, catches and chains, that sort of thing,” Linksano agreed.

Harvey laughed suddenly, “But they’re all on this side of the door!” He looked at 90’s Kid for confirmation. 90’s Kid grinned back at him.

“There’s only one lock on the outside. Everything else is still in here. He’d never build a prison that he wouldn’t willing spend time in himself,” 90’s Kid told them all. “I bet if we locked that door from the inside, it would put a dampening field on anyone trying to listen in on us from the outside.”

Linksano moved towards it, “Don’t,” 90’s Kid instructed. Linksano stopped and 90’s Kid continued, “It’ll only alert Vyce to what we’re doing. He’ll be the only one who knows how to overcome the dampening field and still listen to us.

“Right now, he’s concentrating on defeating the Entity,” he continued. “He thinks we’re trapped so he’s not paying attention. Now is the perfect time to call for backup.”

“Right!” Linksano started to write a message.

“Tell ‘em to get Nims back online and bring some weapons,” Harvey instructed.

“And I want my other bodies,” Pollo added.

“Got it!” Linksano finished the Tweet and made it public. “Sent! Now all we have to do is wait and hope someone answers.”

Looking at you - Movie Montage from Brutzelpretzel on Vimeo.

Song: "Can't take my eyes off you", performed by Manic Street Preachers and also by Muse.

This is a tribute to the wink of complicity from the filmmakers to the audience when they make actors look straight into the camera. It is not a tribute to scenes where the fourth wall is broken (when a character addresses the audience directly), some clips in the video belong to that category but most of them don't cause it is not what we wanted to show.

There are 150 different clips (from 148 films) in this video, but at first I had selected more than 200 films. I left out dozens of scenes on purpose, cause I didn't want a 15 minutes montage. For example, I decided not to include the "found footage" genre, cause everyone looks at the camera in this type of movies (like "Cloverfield"). And also musical numbers, where it's very common that the actors look at the camera while singing. And, obviously, there are many more films missing cause I didn't know them. Apologies in advance for every film I discarded, forgot or missed. For example, I really regret forgetting about Kurt Russell in "Death Proof", Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins" and Tilda Swinton in "Orlando".
