#JORGE YOU MOTHERFUCKER-

[thatgaiagirl]

Epic the Musical Vengeance Saga spoilers under the cut:

“I see you on the brink of death,

I see you draw your final breath”

…the Final Breath was at the end of Get in the Water. The dead chorus in the back as he drowns, and the Livestream animatics SHOW the bubbles escaping his lips before his eyes turn red in Six Hundred Strike. That was the moment he died.

Jorge Holy Shit-

[arolesbianism]

Horrible realization that if I go through with recollecting all the oni logs then I'll have to actually find out how to get "a seed is planted" like for realsies this time. Maybe I should just cheat them all in actually. <3.

Content Warnings: I talk about tits a lot sorry. Also mentions of organ failure and transfem Tricky

Notes: Trying to get back into the writing groove. Sorry if this is shit

HANK J WIMBLETON

If you didn't know ASL before meeting them, they would communicate primarily with hand and head movements. He's too cool to use a notepad

Not a big fan of PDA, but in private he's quite affectionate and cuddly. theyre just a big ass guard dog cmon

Hank Motherfucker Wimbleton what are you doing here????? waiting for them to play gangnam styl.

DEIMOS

Transgenda

I like to imagine Dedmos's rock face works similarly to Hank's metal jaw. It's just a rock jaw. Rock lobster.

He is an ASSHOLE (affectionate)

The kind of person to like. Punch your shoulder when they laugh

Their ideal first date is stealing the declaration of independence

If you don't make him, he will go days without showering he is SO smelly anfd SO stinky. He has GREASY ASS HAIR i just know it

SANFORD

If Hank is a guard dog he's one of those goofy dogs that look like bear cubs

VERY big fan of PDA he will smooch you anywhere. everywhere. any time any place any day

He takes missions more seriously than Deimos but outside of missions he is just a big fat goofball

I'm going to place my hands directly on his man tits. anyways where was I

He lost his nipples in The War

I'm kidding. He lost them during top surgery.

At this point i'm aiming the transgenderification beam at all of them. nobody is safe. BE TRANSGENDER

DOC

Sometimes he wears his hair down and it's like a mullet w/ shaved sides

Out of all of them he's the most adverse to PDA but! In private he is very sweet. very silly

Hey are you okay with being tested on? Yeah? Cool will you drink this organ failure potion I brewed

Plays the piano sometimes! He might serenade you if you ask nicely

TRICKY

BE TRANSGENDER. (shoots her with my transfem beam)

Yeah so he/she bigender Tricky is real. Krinkels told me himself

He is like a big weird dog as well. He might lick your face (don't let him zed spit is slightly acidic)

Probably likes PDA the most. She will make out with you very grossly and sloppily in the middle of McDonalds

Very soft very fluffy. Which is surprising considering how many times he's died

His tail is somewhat prehensile, he could dangle from a tree branch if he tried hard enough

CHURCH AND JORGE

They are very good at sharing!

Sorry not sorry yandere enjoyers but they would NOT kill someone for looking at you they would be like haha yeah everyone should look at our awesome fucking partner theyre so cool and hot

Sometimes they forget how big they are compared to you so they might try to like flop over on you. Pigpile on the small one

Very prone to roughhousing and play fighting but they'll be gentle if you ask

BEEFY BOYS 😍

[batsplat]

just so you know bc I don’t think enough people tell you this but every time I check your blog (a bit compulsively at this point? your compilations and opinions are very enlightening on the general psychology of those crazy motherfuckers and also the uhhhhhhhh other part) and see that you answered another ask I honestly break into the hugest grin and settle down at the next given opportunity to read the newest batssay (batsplat essay) like it’s an academic paper (it is to us sports scholars, I believe)… please never feel the need to cut short your thoughts on any subject. the longer the better! connect all the dots, bat! we are listening!!

thank youuuuu this is so sweet, I know this ask is a little older but trust whenever I get something kind in my inbox I very much read and appreciate it and it very much makes my day. and I love the term batssay. a lot

so I thought it'd be fun to do a follow up post to the casey/jorge/valentino one where I just dumped a bunch of photos with a wee bit of context... for the culture, y'know. and I'm doing this with just casey/valentino, mostly for 2007-09 but with one 2005 photo chucked in as. build-up. for flavour

we know from the #archives that the two of them did have like. a reasonably warm dynamic pre-casey's motogp debut. they'd talked... also at least one race where casey shows up to valentino's podium and chats to vale's crew chief and fellow aussie jb... I think about it often. what did it all mean

casey's first win!!! qatar 2007, very first race with ducati. he'd gotten very close to a win before - in his third ever premier class race at turkey, lost at the final chicane. casey's goals going into that first season with ducat had just been winning a few races... he notes that valentino congratulates him warmly, but reckons it's just because valentino didn't take him seriously as a threat, which. I don't think that quite stacks up with supplementary evidence from the time, but we'll allow it

one of my fave photos for a reason, idc it's sweet. I was trying to figure out when this photo was from through like, normal means of reverse image search, but then instead I had a horrifying moment of 'oh yeah I'm pretty sure I remember that specific presser backdrop is at mugello that year' and. I was right. which. god. anyway yeah mugello 2007 pre-event presser. by this point casey was 21 points clear in the championship standings

more mugello 2007!!! look at casey constantly sipping from his lil cup. this will have been after qualifying, where casey snagged pole. I'd forgotten valentino actually makes front row in qualifying because he makes a typically horrendous start. I'd also forgotten that this race is like. proper good. one of the best that year. slows down eventually but the first ten or so laps are some of the most exciting of the entire alien era

catalunya 2007, which unfortunately I also dated solely through the presser backdrop. idk I just like the vibes of this photo. anyway!! this race is ofc the one where casey won an all timer late race duel against valentino (+ dani). it is after this race that valentino said casey was, and I quote "riding like a god". a seminal moment

the championship is already extremely over by the time they get to estoril, but casey still needs to formally wrap it up: this is his first match point race. depicted here is valentino getting one of his few Ws that season. an account of this event: “valentino was playing table football in the yamaha hospitality and somebody spotted casey outside. so they invited him for a challenge. it was all good fun”

motegi 2007. valentino had managed to put off the inevitable the race before and temporarily stopped casey from sealing the title, taking his last win of the season (cool duel with dani in that one). but motegi... well honestly it's just a bit of a flop all round, nobody's bike is working the way they want it to, casey seals the title with his worst result all season of a sixth place (the horror) and in his autobiography he was kinda like 'well I was very happy but also. meh race' (I paraphrase). but really, who cares, he had his title

bit of a time skip!! after both of them have put their sketch early 2008's behind them, the pair of them had a proper fun fight at catalunya for p2. a continuation of the battle the year before with valentino once again coming from lower down the field, this time he gets the better of casey. still, things are finally looking up at ducati... and the post-catalunya test might be enough to put casey right back in title contention. the above photo is from donington, where casey confirms the progress ducati made by winning his first race of the season after the opener in qatar

still donington, both of them watching each other etc etc. valentino is in a much better place than the year before, given both casey's rough start to the season and how they're both now on the same tyres. but it's not a good sign if casey's hitting his stride... at assen, valentino makes his one mistake of the year and crashes on the first lap, remounting to finish eleventh (he still beats casey's teammate melandri). this puts dani in the championship lead - and with casey's second win in a row, he is now very much closing in

look at them chatting here!! cute imo. this is casey's third win in a row, at the rainy sachsenring. dani crashes out from a few miles in the lead - while casey had stayed sensible and brings it home for a pretty straightforward victory. valentino needed to fight his way through from further down the field and in the end he loses too much time to put any serious pressure on casey, but it's still damage limitation and he retakes the championship lead from dani (who will miss the next race due to an injury sustained in the crash). and yet, momentum really is firmly on casey's side now... and the rest of the calendar does looks like pretty casey-friendly territory. next up, they're headed to a race track where casey had won very comfortably the year before. would he seal his fourth consecutive win at laguna?

now with my sincere apologies to casey stoner, every photo that came out of laguna 2008 is objectively pretty funny. I have limited myself to a mere two podium photos, but lbr there's a full collection. casey had already rejected valentino's handshake in parc fermé - which some might have taken as a social cue to give him some space. whereas valentino, local dickhead, just will not stop yapping at casey on the podium. this is quite possibly as genuinely delighted as he gets after a race, and it's simply a beautiful contrast with casey who is not quite rude enough to actually tell valentino to shut the fuck up - but may be fantasising about pushing valentino off the podium. this, to me. is art

gather around body language experts, we need to have a conversation. this is at the pre-event presser of the race immediately after laguna, aka brno. by this point, casey's less than flattering remarks about valentino's riding at laguna had already been distributed near and far... everyone's been talking about them, people have Opinions. the captions for these photos are all something along the lines of 'stoner extends olive branch to rossi to apologise for his post-race comments after losing laguna'. now, I don't know if he literally is apologising in these actual photos - though of course he did publicly walk back his comments, saying all riders can react badly to losses and that he'd overreacted when he'd said he'd lost respect for valentino. he has since walked back his walking back, doubling down on his criticisms of valentino's comportment at laguna

still, for all the talk that the feud properly started after laguna, it's kind of fun to have the presser immediately after it showing... well, it does look like casey is actively engaging valentino in conversation, right? whether he's apologising or not - this isn't just valentino yapping at him, if anything it's the reverse. laguna had been right before the summer break, so casey had been given a month to cool off... and also be viciously criticised by the press. brutal, isn't it? it's not just the loss that sucks, it's also being excoriated by the press and fans for having the audacity to get mad over it. is all of this just him being forced into pretending to play nice to get the press to leave him alone? were there any genuine regrets over his laguna comments? what ARE the vibes between them like at this time? what story do these photos tell us

casey went on to crash out of this race from the lead, the first time he had done so in the premier class and his first dnf with ducati after their one and a half seasons together. when he crashed, he'd had a fairly comfortable lead over valentino - though valentino was steadily closing in, and the commentators were already rubbing their hands in anticipation of another laguna

the next race is at misano - and casey is struggling with an old hand injury, see the bandages in the photo. the previous year had been the first time valentino had gotten the chance to race at this circuit, so close to his home... but he'd suffered a mechanical dnf, not his first or last in a frustrating season. this year, everything is different - and casey once again crashes out of the lead as valentino takes victory in front of his worshipful home fans

another trip to america, this time for indy: their first time racing at the track. after the double whammy of brno and misano, casey's title charge is essentially over... but you never know, right? indy kinda gives off the vibe of being a good casey track

in the end, the race is extremely wet and very, very windy and is eventually red-flagged. because of how many laps they still have to go, it is initially unclear whether they would restart... at which point first valentino (who was leading), then casey (in fourth) go to dorna ceo ezpeleta to tell him they have less than zero interest in going out in that weather again. a beautiful moment of solidarity - long live the power of unionising, capable of overcoming even the bitterest of feuds. blast the internationale over the footage, I've seen enough. the race is called off and valentino wins his fourth consecutive race

by the time they get to phillip island, valentino has already won the title, courtesy of his fifth consecutive win at motegi - the same circuit casey had won the title at the year before and the home race of valentino's old enemies at honda. a couple of nice photos of jorge congratulating his teammate and casey spraying vale with champagne here. casey, known phillip island goat, would of course finally end valentino's win streak at that circuit, which is where the photos are from. idk they're fun to me, like this is still not that long after laguna. I'm aware being able to chat normally with your coworkers and share a smile with them isn't normally that high a bar, but canonically valentino has been known to completely blank some of his rivals. it's not like casey is particularly cold towards valentino either, eh

case in point. this is from sepang 2008. #TheEstablishment does not want you to know casey and valentino canonically still regularly yapped in pressers post laguna. they won't silence me. sepang was valentino's last win of this season, after a good scrap with dani - and the season is rounded off with a casey victory at valencia

jerez 2009, where valentino gets past casey with a block pass at the final corner on his way to victory. unlike in 2005, he actually manages to not barrel into his rival. this is just a fantastic photo... I don't even have much to say about it. a+ vibes

a lot of the photos from this season were already included in the jorge/valentino/casey post, which reflects how casey wasn't consistently a factor in the same way the other two were. this one's from assen, the race right after catalunya when all three of them were tied on 106 points. very good side eye here, excellent job casey. unfortunately, casey is now in mystery illness territory - and he can't really compete with the two frontrunners in this stretch of the season

this is the first race after casey's return to competition - valentino goes up to casey after qualifying at estoril to congratulate him for his front row grid position. casey would win an early race scrap with valentino in the race itself, eventually finishing second behind jorge and swiftly silencing all the people who had declared him mentally weak and done for in his absence. a race that brought back suspense to that year's championship

phillip island 2009, another important moment in the canon where I've limited myself to just the one photo. casey wins just his second race back - and he also hugs vale pretty warmly in parc fermé. jorge was kind enough to crash in the opening lap, meaning valentino can very much be pleased with a second place here

and at sepang, valentino seals the title, while casey wins another race. casey ended up crashing in the warm-up lap of valencia, apparently due to an issue with the tyre warming? just kinda... the general vibe of his 2009, really. valentino closes off the season with another podium at his least favourite track, while dani takes the win

anyway after that they spent three years getting into increasingly. dumb arguments. like. so dumb. by the end of 2012 you feel you're killing your brain cells by even engaging with this stuff. it's beyond undignified. there's zero competitive justification, but they just couldn't shut up about each other. that being said, they're still capable of doing a small talk with each other even during the dark years, so that's something. maybe one day they'll finally be able to get that dinner and talk about all the good times

One thing I think is interesting about Javier Peña’s characterization is his reckless tunnel vision.

It’s like when he gets close to the thing he wants, nothing else fucking matters, not procedures, or laws, or safety, NOTHING. He participated in highly unethical practices to get his guy(s). Broadly speaking, there’s intercepted phone calls, condoning torture, etc etc, but also….

There’s that instance where they’re waiting for the ok to raid a building bc Escobar is supposed to show up there (if I remember correctly), and he doesn’t, so everyone’s like ‘ah damn ok’ and thIS MOTHERFUCKER SAYS FUCK THIS AND STARTS MURDERING PEOPLE. Like, that’s fucking insane, right?

*gestures vaguely at Los Pepes*

Requested Helena get big information at the Escobar party, holding US citizenship over her head, which results in her being viciously assaulted. This woman will never be the same. To his credit, he is obviously remorseful. But STILL.

Murdering a village with SWAT to get his white girl bargaining chip back

The one I think about all the time is either in the season 3 finale or right before, where he gets to OK to get Jorge and his family to the US and get them citizenship, and LIES ABOUT IT!!!!! He tells his agents that Jorge needs to get them Miguel before they’ll be taken out of Colombia. This is, and I can’t stress this enough, fucking insane. Jorge put his family’s lives on the line to provide the DEA with enough information to get out of the cartel—WHICH HE DOES!!!!—and Peña is deadass like “mmm no but I want to be sure I have Miguel first, just in case” and fucking lies to everyone, which almost results in another family being murdered.

When they’re trying to break through the shower wall to get Miguel Rodriguez, and there’s a dude there telling them they have to stop because they’re breaking the law, I swear to god he almost tells that guy to fuck off, but he does tell Van Ness to stop. You can tell it took Herculean effort for him to do this. It makes him SO. UPSET.

That’s all I can think of right now. But it is egregious. That being said, I love morally gray fictional character Javier Peña with all my heart, even though his actions in this TV series were fucking W I L D.

what’s your favorite version of rocket? for me it’s between eidos rocket and mcu rocket

this is such a great question ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

it’s like asking “what’s your favorite star in the sky?” “which ice cream is the best ice cream?” “what flower do you prefer?” “what bird is the coolest bird?” “what cat is the best cat?”

it’s not that i don’t have a fave (i do, or at least i think i do), it’s just that im picking from such a fucken splendor of options. truly spoiled for choice. there’s no wrong answer here (although some of the comics artists have never, i think, seen a raccoon. here’s lookin at you timothy green ii).

so i’ll rank these motherfuckers but understand that i love them all differently. also im sticking to various versions of canon but honestly some of my fave rockets come from fanfiction writers like @hibatasblog, @caesarhamato22, @aliasrocket, & @elegant-fleuret ~ and what is mcu rocket or cartoon rocket or eidos rocket really but fanfiction with a budget?

anyone else who wants to share their faves and why, please do. it's so fucken fascinating to learn why certain rockets appeal to different people!

Grounded: Rocket Raccoon (2016) story by matthew rosenberg // pencil & ink by jorge coelho i love this furry bastard so much and this whole arc pulls on all my heartstrings which is probably why my first rocket fanfic was based off this storyline. he's at his snarkiest, most cynical self, still saving people in spite of how fucken thankless everyone around him is. as much as comics-rocket talks about how everything he does is for the money, i feel like this series really exemplifies his begrudging willingness to do the right thing for people even when people suck. i just wanna love on him tbh (platonically, romantically, domestically). wanna take care of him. wanna build him a blanket-fort and feed him hot cocoa. grumpy asshat

MCU's Guardians of the Galaxy (2014-2023) created by james gunn, et al. nose to tail, this rocket has the most consistent and coherent character development and we get to see so many sides of him in one long-lived arc, and it's fucking beautiful. just because of the nature of comics in general, we never get to see this much growth in any single incarnation of rocket. but here we have sad-rocket, dad-rocket, lonely-rocket, friend-rocket, baby-rocket, captain-rocket - i love him so much and what this movie has given us in terms of a fully-fleshed out character. plus we get to hear lines like "oh yeah" (you know EXACTLY what i'm talkin about) and his goddamn singing. not to mention that beautiful expressive face.... the way he moves when he's beating the shit out of ravagers... what? huh? where was i?

Rocket Raccoon: Blue River Score (2017) story by al ewing // pencil & ink by adam gorham i fucken love this comic arc. we get a lot of rocket in a suit and we get to see his impulsive behavior, his softness for otta (and by extension, his desire to love/be loved) despite their history, his cleverness in the colon and the final heist, and his relationship with gatecrasher. PLUS if you thought one sad snarky gun-wielding maniac wasn't enough, there's a subplot where rocket and deadpool team up and it's the best thing in the world. just a perfect little kiss from every five-star chef in the galaxy. i love rocket's last few lines to deadpool in this segment. perfection

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Game. (2021) by eidos-montreal and marvel entertainment. just to note: 4,5, and 6 got real murky for me in terms of figuring out how to rank these rockets. i wish i could watch this game multiple times so i could get a better feel for who this rocket is but it is SUCH an undertaking tbh. still, this rocket is so good. bitter, hilarious, sassy, isolated. i love him so much. i just want to play with his beard and also say lots of nice (occasionally naughty) things to him so he blushes really hard like in that sequence where pete was like "you deserve some praise" (i think that was the closest we've ever seen rocket to actual death, volume three included). there's a thing about rockets-in-general that i think this rocket in particular really pulls out of me: the desire to trust, and to be worthy of trust. ...that and the fact that you just know this guy is fuckin filthy. when he decides he wants you, he's gonna make you miserable in all the best ways. like, the level of teasing would be so over-the-top you might spontaneously combust before you get into bed (though luckily, he is an expert when it comes to manipulating combustibles).

Assorted other comic appearances that I've smushed into one thing in my mind. i dunno, friend. rocket who blames himself for pete's apparent death breaks my heart. rocket who thinks he's the only one of the guardians left breaks my heart. rocket who blames himself for groot's death breaks my heart. rocket who is sick and alone on halfworld like an animal crawling under the porch to die but ends up leaving inside a giant mech-suit to save his friends breaks my heart. rocket who protects chewy's kids breaks my heart even though it's supposed to be a lighthearted fucken arc. there are more.

Rocket Raccoon, Volume 2. (2014-205) story by skottie young, pencil & ink by various artists. yo. this rocket is so different and yet still perfectly rocket. he's a hyped-up little gremlin of a guy who fucks and is probably constantly high off blaster-fumes and engine-fuel. i fucken love him so much. imagine rocket with no self-confidence issues who pops caffiene pills and energy drinks every half-hour and smashes anything that can orgasm, and you've got a skottie young rocket. while other rockets might get you off because they think they've got something to prove or want to keep you coming back, this is a rocket who has learned how to use his tail solely for the fact that it's a claim to fame that means he can get laid anytime he wants. he never lacks for an excited partner (or partners) because everyone in sixty-nine systems knows how fuckin good he is. ultimately, he fucks like a god for the most (apparently) selfish, shallow reasons (and then inevitably ghosts his partners). or maybe not. maybe he's also just obsessed with the idea that anything he's gonna do, he has to do over-the-top. like planning an intergalactic scavenger hunt for your friend's birthday. ...but scrape the surface and underneath you find a guy who's just so afraid of being the only one of his kind that he's gotta fuck or shoot everything in his vicinity. what a wild little shithead. i love him so much, so much. p.s. the fron storyline - the cold, parts one and two - is one of my favorites. he loves groot so much. and princess jink is the fucken best

Guardians of the Galaxy TV Series/Cartoon. (2015-2019). i enjoyed this rocket and his gremlin ways. his fascination with duct tape is a particular point of charm. the take on his backstory was interesting. loved the episode with ja kyee lrurt - like it was so fuckin cute i could die. i need more of THAT storyline in particular.

Rocket & Groot TV Series/Cartoon. (2017) i loved this so much but it just left me wanting more (just because, you know, of the nature of this type of short-episode media). big skottie young energy. ultimately, trevor devall does a fine job but i think his voice in both this and the other cartoon make it a little harder for me to fully embrace these rockets. like his interpretation of rocket's voice just doesn't match mine, you know? and that's okay. still would rewatch 5,739 times.

how's that? i still need to watch telltale but i think i got most of the iterations in there lol. anyone i forgot, or who is worth specifically pulling out and mentioning by author/issue/edition?

A thread by Jorge A. Reyes

@JorgeCoolReyes:

Good morning! Some reminders:

--FUCK Sharon Waxman and her rag of a trade paper. She is the useful idiot of the studios.

Ignore her hack-ass. Again, they are leaking like this because THEY ARE DESPERATE. It is A TACTIC.

- #SAGAFTRAStrong to the very end! YOU GOT THIS.

2. the way Sharon Hackman--who blocked me as we exposed her fake-ass story about WGA dissension in REAL TIME, 5 MINUTES AFTER IT DROPPED--will parrot the studio line to weaken your resolve is laughable& makes her worthy of the enmity she gets. But let's deal w/ the headline….

"Studios to give actors a week before calling things off til January."

The studios have writers rooms cooking. Scripts frm BEFORE the strikes ready to go. Crews on hold for Nov. Editors on hold for Dec. Movies they need actors to finish ADR. Movies they need actors to market.

suddenly, they're going to write off THE ENTIRE SPRING SEASON & the BILLIONS it would bring them, THE MOVIES they need for their bottom line, their product for ALL OF Q1 & Q2, because they don't want to talk MORE THAN ONE WEEK?

Bullshit.

not to mention the majority of those studios have Q4 earnings calls they have coming up.

You think they're gonna say "sorry, strikes STILL going on, we're not going to have product until mid 2024 or later because they didn't settle in a week."

Bullshit.

Any reporter or any half-sentient person would see this for what it is--A TACTIC. To get YOU scared and pressure your mighty Neg Comm into settling for a weaker deal. They and you didn't sacrifice 100 plus days to settle for that.

They do this because YOU ARE WINNING.

Sharon Hackman, on top of being an allegedly awful person, is a shitty gossip columnist, posing as a "journalist". She HATES unions.

Hence the headline.

SAG has a TREMENDOUS amount of leverage here, and a once-in-a-lifetime moment in the history of labor. THIS IS THE MOMENT.

So brothers &sisters of @sagaftra, see the tactic for what it is & ignore the bs. STAY FOCUSED.

Trust ONLY your leadership&neg comm. Hit the lines. Be there for each other.

And be ready for your closeup, because this is the moment where you win.

SAGAFTRA motherfucking strong.

The Halo Chief Collection review that no one asked for because I just finished Halo 4 and need to dump my thoughts!

Reach: Good time

First Halo game I ever played and kinda just tossed me into the ringer and I got a little lost but I think that’s more my fault than the game’s. That being said, love the game mechanics, especially the enemy AI. I knew it was smart, but I was woefully unprepared for how they could plan for me just as easily as I could plan for them. C’mere, c’mere you little shits I need to put a bullet in your head.

The guns were also fun and sounded amazing (sniper is always my favorite, human or covenant addition) and I like how each gun has its own perks and disadvantages, makes me think a little harder to which gun I wanna bring into a level.

The characters were also super great and I enjoyed listening to their dialogue and, even though I had been spoiled to the ending of the game, I got really attached to them (especially Jorge) and had a fun time following the story. Also, Kat’s death was so shocking I had to pause the game to process it like what the fuck, why am I so heartbroken. All of their deaths hit me in different ways but holy shit that one scared the life outta me. 

The whole atmosphere and how the enemies are treated are also super well done, you really feel the scale of the world and the threat of the covenant. Going onto a covenant ship for the first time scared me because I had gone from a pretty open and familiar space to completely unfamiliar enemy territory, it was a really good shift in atmosphere. 

Overall, it was really fun and I enjoyed the story, the gameplay, and the campaign as a whole. I wanna go back and play it again now that I know what I’m doing and see how differently it plays out for me game wise.

Halo CE: Frustratingly awesome time

For a game that’s as old as it is, Halo holds up really well in my opinion. First off, it has the best feeling to its guns of all the games. Something about the sound and the way it moves and the reloads are just perfect in my brain. I was always a little disappointed to load up the other games and realize the guns don’t shoot, sound, or feel the same way they did in this one. 10/10

It took me so much longer to beat this game than Reach, both because the campaign is longer and also because of the stupid motherfucking flood. 

Honestly, when they first appeared I thought I was getting into a horror movie because holy hell the devastation they brought to the ring and everyone on it, goddamn. Also, that one scene with the soldier who had a psychotic break and shoots at you is insane, like how do you think of that? I shot him the first time out of instinct and I felt so bad I restarted the chapter to see if I could save him (spoiler alert, you can’t) and it was at that moment I realized what kind of game I was dealing with because that small moment completely shifted the tone. 

Anyways, the flood sucks and I spent over an hour just on the beginning part of the library trying to get past the first wave of zombies. Like, literally couldn’t get into the next room. I then had to come to the unfortunate conclusion that you cannot outrun the flood, you must instead take all of them out one section at a time or else they will surround you and run you over like a stampede. Once I figured that out I got through the levels a little faster, but I did die a lot. I had fun though and the whole twist with both what the Halo weapon was and what the monitor’s purpose was still made me gasp in excitement and betrayal (Fuck you moniter I never trusted your ass). 

Very fun game 10/10, will not be replaying it until I recover from dealing with the flood. I might have trauma from that.

Halo 2 anniversary: HOLY FUCK THAT WAS GOOD

First off, the animation was gorgeous, going from Halo to Halo 2 Anniversary was a shock to my systems but goddamn was it pretty. 

Was a little disappointed with the guns and I don’t know if I just got better at the game or if the AI got nerfed but the levels felt like they were quicker to beat and not nearly as time consuming as Halo (maybe it was just because there were a lot less Flood to deal with, could also just be that). BUT it was still fun and getting to shoot aliens in actual space was cool, plus the cutscene of Master Chief dropping a bomb on the covenant will never not be cool.

Story was fucking awesome, Master Chief really had his time to shine here with Cortana and I love it. The Arbiter was also really cool and I remember I was watching his cutscenes and thinking “man, wouldn’t it be cool if I got to play as an elite? That’d be sick” AND THEN LITERALLY THE NEXT LEVEL WAS ME PLAYING AS THE ARBITER it was sick. I was on the edge of my seat whenever I sat down to play and completely lost myself in this world and the characters in it. 

Overall, really good game and I had a fun time playing it even if I had to download a different app just to play it because of how laggy it is (a common problem with Halo 2 Anniversary, I found out). Super worth it, love all of these games so far.

Halo 3: Good time, Good ending

Again, a little disorienting going from updated animation from Halo 2 Anniversary to the original graphics in Halo 3 but I got used to it quickly. Again again, the gun function was a little disappointing (except for sniper which is always a win) but it didn’t affect my gameplay and it definitely wasn’t bad, I just really really like OG Halo’s guns. 

The story started off a little meh for me, but it quickly gained traction and got me invested again. It wasn’t quite as stressful and need-for-complete-focus as the first one nor was it as gripping as the second, but Halo 3 stood really well among the trilogy and the ending was very satisfying. (Also, fuck you moniter I never trusted you).

Overall, I think this is a great trilogy and I adore the story they told here. 

Halo 3 ODST: Not bad at all

I’ll be honest, I was hesitant when I started this game. The characters weren’t as compelling as in Reach and I always roll my eyes at the “We used to date before but now our relationship is strained because we have to have some kind of drama to propel the plot” trope that writers love to use for heterosexual relationships. BUT I did end up coming to like them (still not as much as Noble Team) and Rookie is fucking awesome, I loved playing his bits while he was trying to figure out what happened to his team.

Speaking of which, very clever to have the gameplay go back and forth from Rookie roaming the empty streets all by himself to the more livelier streets the rest of his team are fighting in. Also, the engineer is cute. Very adorable design and his scene with Sargent Johnson made me smile (Rip Johnson, you were one of the best). The story overall was pretty good, even though I wasn’t really sure what they were doing half the time (Veronica, what are doing hun, c’mon) but I had more fun than I thought I would and enjoyed the game thoroughly. 

Guns were wack again though and I mourn the loss of my OG Halo guns. 

Halo 4: Surprisingly good

From what I heard off hand from other people, I knew Halo 4 was not as loved as the last 5 campaigns and playing it for myself, I can see why. The forerunner guns are wonky and the shoot weird; it took me forever to get used to them (except for the sniper because I will always be a pro with a sniper) and I tended to avoid them when I could. The look of the new enemies was pretty cool and they have some cool game mechanics like how you have to shoot the turret things so they don’t revive the prometheans again, but the prometheans themselves were hell to fight and I got annoyed with them, especially since they seemed to have endless health that the forerunner guns did nothing to. But I digress, they were fine and I got good at shooting the dogs(?) heads off. 

The story itself was okay. I don’t really love that they brought the forerunners back, especially since from what we learned from the monitor in the first game, they purposefully killed themselves so that the flood wouldn’t spread, right? Also don’t really like the bit where they devolved humans so they wouldn’t take over? Idk, the lore kinda confused me sometimes and the librarian still doesn’t make sense even though I had gone out of my way to collect the extra cutscenes throughout the game. Like, what did she do to Chief? Make him an unkillable cockroach? He was already that before! What did she do?!

That being said, any scene with Cortana and Chief was a win. Cortana’s slow descent into rampancy was so well done and you feel Chief’s worry for her and his insistence to make sure she’s okay. Chief also got a lot more dialogue and we got to see more of who he is as a character and how much he loves Cortana. I adore these two and their relationship and I got emotional in that end scene with them. They have my heart and I love them. 

Overall, the game was fun and I think Cortana and Chief really carried the story and made it enjoyable. Lore was kind of meh, but I might try to rewatch cutscenes to try and piece together what was happening.

Hi! I don’t know if you’re still taking requests but I would love if you could write one about Nate’s press conference where killshot was growing hands with Jorge.

It’s up to you if you make a Nate or killshot one, would love to read both 👊🏻

The Brawl

(N 39 R 29)

a/n i''m doing Nate cause there's shit going on with killshot

"are you upset that I bugged you into taking me?" I turned my head to him in the truck "no it's fine, do I like you with me yes. do I like the idea of you at the presser not really" "I'll be good" he chuckled "you will don't know about other people" I grabbed his free hand kissing it. "hi honey" Rich said giving me a hug "hi" I smiled before saying hi to all the guys, "baby will you take a picture of me and the guys" I nodded and took his phone, "okay now smile look like you like each other!" they chuckled before I took the next picture "thanks" he took his phone "you look handsome Nathan" I smiled he cupped my cheek and kissed me.

I slightly leaned into Nate grabbing my book starting to read when my phone went off in my lap I grabbed it 'you have a message request from @ gamebredmasvidal ' I lightly nudged Nate from his Convo I showed him my screen his brows went tight he clicked it

'tell your boy to come ready'

"send that to me then block that fucking guy" I did that he wrapped his arm around me pulling me into him, I kissed his chin. We got to the presser and someone took our bags to the house we were staying at "okay I love you I'm gonna go get my seat" I pecked his lips "nicks(killshot) is gonna come with you" he said "okay" I smiled "love you too" he smiled pecking my lips.

We sat in the front with Marcellius next to us who I didn't know very well, the guys made it onto the stage Jorge gave me a wave making me look back to Nate. "Just ignore him" nick said making me nod, the presser went on for a while some heated words before Nate said "I'm done with this whole press conference shit,I'm glad we're here promoting these great fights that are happening, but, besides that, my work here is done.fuck this ugly motherfucker" He got up going to get off the stage they said some words I couldn't hear both the guys next to me stood up making me do the same.

Nate went somewhere trusting that one of the guys would get me somewhere, but instead killshot and Marcellius started yelling at Jorge's team I turned away from them. I moved through people who were moving to the brawl. Jose gave me his hand pulling me out and pushing people away "thank you" he nodded opening the door to the hallway where Nate was "you okay?" Nate asked cupping my cheeks "yeah I'm fine" "where's Nick?" "Fighting someone" he took a deep breath could tell he was pissed "it's fine" I smiled and rubbed his forearms, he kissed my forehead and pulled me over to the group.

Someone was trying to interview him about the brawl when Jorge was brought into the same hallway "fuck you looking at!? Come down and get your fucking asses whipped then! Sorry motherfuckers! Yeah,turn around bitch!" Nate yelled turning to them and they replied with something "your coach got knocked out!" Chris yelled "you think you just sold another million POV?" the interviewer asked "I don't know, I don't give a fuck" Jorges team and him we're yelling again "let's go! Let's go then!" Nathan started walking over to him "Nate don't".

We finally left in the car "I'm fucking pissed at killshot" he said driving "it's fine I'm fine" he shook his head and shrugged I kissed his face "you okay?" I asked "yeah I'm okay".

I was laying in bed Nate was smoking outside while the guys were partying in the living room he came back, "come here baby" I put my arms out for him, he got in bed and wrapped his arms around me "I won't come to anything anymore it stresses you out" "you sure? I mean I liked having you but" "I won't stress you out" I kissed him "I love you mamas" "I love you too Natey" he smiled closing his eyes, I rubbed his neck scratching his head kissing the top of his head.

[star--anon]

I'm bored let's talk Warriors Cats Gladers

YOU READ THAT RIGHT. FUCK YEAH. I'M BACK ON MY BULLSHIT GRIND. NOW WITH STUPIDITY TENFOLD

Thomas: Brightpaw/Brightwind

Prefix Bright- because he symbolizes hope UwU with a -wind suffix because. running

Alby: Leafstar/Leafpounce

something nature-related for the Glade. He's leader so he gets the automatic -star treatment, but I feel like his warrior name would've been something like -pounce or -scratch (Leafscratch doesn't sound right, though)

Newt: Newtfire/Newtstar

Newt- is a valid warriors cats prefix, and I wanted to give him a -fire suffix to balance with Alby's nature theme

Minho: Rushclaw

Prefix Rush- for obvious reasons, and -claw because that man knows nothing but Violence™ (it's okay we love him for it)

Chuck: Softpaw/Softwind

He's Softpaw for most of book one. He's given his warrior name when he gets shot by Gally and bleeds out in Thomas' arms. He tells Thomas that, in a world where he could've lived, he would've wanted to be named Softwind. Named after Thomas himself, whose warrior name is Brightwind.

Kinda like Badgerfang?

In Safe Haven, they carve Chuck's warrior name into the rock.

Teresa: Falconcall

Falcons hunt by dropping out of the air at speeds above 200mph, and that kind of SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER energy really suits Teresa. Suffix -call because of her telepathy with Thomas

Gally: Scorchbite

Another character who gets a fiery name :D Plus -bite as a suffix because, again, Violence™

Brenda: Morningstorm

Suffix -storm just fits her. I'm not sure how to explain it. She's so unpredictable yet somehow so cool and collected as well. Also prefix Morning- to represent change/a fresh start because Scorch Trials

Jorge: Lionhunt

Thought about giving him the -star suffix, but figured someone like movie Jorge wouldn't take on the leader name, even if he was in a leadership role. So I just gave him the prefix Lion- instead (king of the jungle, yadda yadda)

Blondie: Fangspider

equal parts stupid and threatening. what more could you ask for from the man that shot Thomas

In July 2020, an incident involving Sonya Holt at a Black Lives Matter Rally was recorded by 16-year-old Sierra Glimer. The viral video shows Holt making racists and homophobic slurs and remarks, proclaiming white superiority, and derogatory remarks towards black and LGBTQ+ individuals. She can be heard repeatedly chanting, “White lives matter, white lives are better” (Fitz-Gibbon, 2020, para. 2). Additionally, she is recorded telling Glimer “you’re a poor little black girl and you got a messed-up mind” as well as a “black and twisted crazy person” (Fitz-Gibbon, 2020, para. 3). At another point, Holt was witnessed, although not captured on video, shouting at another protestor, “You are a gay homosexual piece of crap who’s going to burn in hell” (Fitz-Gibbon, 2020, para. 2). Furthermore, an unidentified older white male was seen alongside Holt shouting “We should have kept you motherfuckers as slaves, that’s what we should have done” (unawardedBlack, 2020). Despite her assertion in the video that she would not face consequences for her behavior, social media users were able to quickly identify her (unawardedBlack, 2020). Not too long after being identified, Holt was terminated from Keith Family Vison Clinic in Johnson city (Fitz-Gibbon, 2020, para. 4).

X-Files, Season 2, Episode 1: Little Green Men

Hope Project 86 makes an appearance.

Finally made it to season 2. Will the X-Files be permanently shut down? the other 10 seasons says yes.

Daaaaaaaaamn Mulder gave Scully the cold shoulder. That's your ride or die, why you do her like that?

The 90's clothes were so bulky, Jesus Christ...

Some gun lock, you can just toss it on the grown and it pops open. What's Mulder thinking he's going to do, shoot some aliens snatching his sister?

Wait, they do be blasting aliens in the face to kill. them. Deep Throat said so.

The irony of the password trustno1 when someone is snooping on your computer

Shit turning on by itself playing music is another thing that will forever be creepy to me.

Jorge took off into the storm. He said "Que se jodan estos extraterrestres, me estoy arriesgando con los elementos." and he died for his troubles.

Naaaaah not the black couple being shitty spies...

I could tell by that dude's mustache he was a black conservative.

My curiosity is that is it one group/species/whatever of aliens t hat's fucking with Mulder, or are we on some Men in Black shit?

I'd be fighting this motherfucker every time he lit a cig in my office. I was alive and fully aware during the time you could smoke indoors and that shit pissed me off. If someone smoked in my office at that time in the 90's? Fights.

We back in a new season. Good season opener. Hopefully season 2 has more eagle noises and drawings of cryptids with huge racks.

And now for our musical guest, Project 86. Take it away fellas!
