There is a lot going on in this little fairy tale property built in 1998 in Norwood, CO. It has 1bd, 1ba, $323,900. So many outbuildings, too.
Tumblr media
The main house is adorable, but there's this little cottage on the property that looks like a real fixer upper.
Tumblr media
Large deck with a pergola, attached to a shed.
Tumblr media
Cute little crooked she shed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The main house extends out the back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at the interior, though. A sweet little hobbity sleeping nook.
Tumblr media
Victorian mantel.
Tumblr media
An old, architectural salvage door.
Tumblr media
Small back room with laundry. Look at the cute lattice and stuff. Is that a composting toilet by the washer?
Tumblr media
They took a shot thru a different lens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen's as funky as you'd expect it to be.
Tumblr media
Looking at the rest of the cluttered, maximalist home from the kitchen. Look at the washtub in the counter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, here we are in the bath. Is that a zinc tub?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Back outdoors, there are some wild gardens.
Tumblr media
A structure for storing wood. They could've taken better photos of this interesting property.

Gate to the whopping 40 acre property. That's a lot of room to build, etc.

I want to ask you this cause it seems like you’re the lyric person here in the fandom. I was listening to Paul’s ‘driving rain’ album and I just wanted your opinion on it Mclennon wise. Lonely road I’m sure is a definite Mclennon song with lyrics like
“tried to get over you
I tried to find
something new
But all I could ever do
was fill my time
With thoughts of you
I tried to go
somewhere old
To search for my pot of gold”
aka that dream that John and Paul both shared when they were younger about them finding gold in the dirt or something. But what I want to really know is about ‘riding into Jaipur’. It just feels Mclennon to me? And I did some research and found out that Paul recorded ‘lonely road’ and ‘riding into Jaipur’ On the same day…. Thoughts ? ( sorry I hope this all came out clear English is not my first language)
Hey Anon,
thank you for your message! I am also a Mclennon-newbie and in no way an expert (having only read 3 books so far because of laziness lol). I hope I will make sense with this. Feel free to correct me or add any additions @/everyone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Driving Rain" being the album title song, is probably the theme of the album, the song suggests that Paul's mental health has been dwindling. I guess due to Linda's death in 1998 at the same time, George Harrison had been struggling with his health around the same time this album is being created. So those are probably triggers.
Letting sunshine in the darkest places When I've been going there again
I think John's influence and memories will always be a huge thing in Paul's songwriting.
Here are my thoughts on the songs you mentioned:
Lonely Road Paul himself said that pot of gold was used to just rhyme with old and that it is half imagination/half reality. "He does not need gold anymore". But I think gold is more of a metaphor for "love" in this sense.
"I hear your music and it's driving me wild Familiar rhythms in a different style I hear your music and it's driving me wild again"
"Paul went into his past". Especially this latter part sounds like something he is saying to John. I guess even listening to new music makes him think of John. It was their thing to listen to LPs, so that's just intensely sad.
Riding to Jaipur According to Paul this song was not written in India but during his vacation with Linda in Maldives. (Though Paul had visited Jaipur in 2001).
Weirdly enough, Jaipur is called the Paris of India. Connecting these two places of significance to the Beatles. This might actually be a Beatles dedicated song.
The guitar he used sounds like a sitar and that's George's thing and then Jaipur being the Paris of India would connect it to John.

"THE GREATEST STONER/ GARAGE/ PSYCHEDELIC/ PUNK/ METAL BAND EVER. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN HUGE."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on CD package design for the KYUSS/ QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE split release, artwork by the late, great Frank Kozik (1962-2023), issued under the legendary Man's Ruin Records (Man's Ruin MR 063) in 1997.
OVERVIEW: "Emerging wild-eyed and stoned from the desert surrounding Palm Springs, California, in 1992 with their classic second album "Blues for the Red Sun," KYUSS proceeded over the ensuing three years and through two further masterpieces to become the greatest stoner/ garage/ psychedelic/ punk/ metal band ever. They should have been huge.
But saddled with a record company that didn't have the first idea what to do with them, KYUSS only sold records to friends, family and a relatively minuscule band of diehard fans. So they split. Admittedley at a creative high point, but also at a time when they had so much to offer. This much is testified to by the first three tracks on "Queens of the Stone Age." Here are the last songs Kyuss recorded, all first released on a highly-prized 10-inch single and each encapsulating the hypnotic intensity and gargantuan blugeon the band summarily conjured up.
The first track is a frazzled eight-minute deconstruction of BLACK SABBATH's "Into the Void'. KYUSS remain one of the very few bands capable of doing Sabbath's black-hearted doom justice; accomplised in this instance by taking the original tracks prehistoric slurge of a riff and dragging it through a series of skewed rhythmic shifts and a long spaced-out jam.
Like all great bands, KYUSS' sound was utterly distinctive: essentially, Josh Homme's fuzzed-up guitar operating in tandem with Scott Reeder's monstrous bass rumble to create riffs that hit you with the force of a bulldozer to the chest, while singer John Garcia howled away impressively, and intermittently, over the top. All of this is contained in the two-part "Fatso Forgotso" -- a vast 10-minute expanse of soul-drenched, head-spinning rolling thunder.
The album is completed by three tracks from Homme's new band, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE. These too are extraordinary. The music is still dense, trippy and relentlessly heavy, with an even more extreme psychedelic edge. On "If Only Everything" and "Born to Hula." Homme -' who also sings -- appears to be playing a sitar with a road drill, while the whacked-out instumental "Spiders and Vinegaroons" is clearly the work of a man who's imbibed a vast amount of mind-altering substances, and gone mad. We'll not see their like again."
-- "KERRANG!" (review by Paul Rees), published January 10th 1998.

Chapter Summary: Our heroes go on an overnight trip to San Antonio to attend a family get-together, then go out and sing karaoke.
Notes: Chapter title from "Run Away With Me" by Carly Rae Jepsen. I feel like this is one of my favorite chapters, but I also think that every week so WHO KNOWS. I just think they're cute. Alrighty, shall we?
[ First Chapter ] [ Previous Chapter ] [ Spotify Playlist ] [ AO3 ]
Hilton Palacio del Rio, San Antonio, TX July 18, 1998
Out of all of the situations you’ve put yourself in these past few weeks, this is, by far, the most reckless. Which is saying something. Not only did you disobey Dan’s specific orders not to go to a party (although, frankly, he can go fuck himself), but you went to a party with your lover. And not only did you go to a party with your lover, but he introduced you as his girlfriend to his family. Exacerbating circumstances include (but are not limited to): staying the night with him in a hotel, drinking all day in the hot sun, and displaying affection very publicly.
It’s like the stars aligned for it to happen. Dan had a softball tournament 100 miles away all weekend and wouldn’t be back until Sunday night. Javi was already planning on going to his cousin’s house in San Antonio for a party, and asked if you wanted to come with him. When you told him yes, he called around and got a hotel room for the night, then came over to watch you freak out about what to wear for a half an hour. You were finally satisfied with a red slip dress adorned with a white floral pattern.
“See, it coordinates with your outfit because you’re wearing a white shirt,” you told him while applying red lipstick in the vanity mirror.
He smiled and shook his head, eyes glued to your ass, “Whatever you say, cariño.”
On the ride out, he tried his best to prepare you for what was to come. Being that you have 36 first cousins, you were raised in the world of chaotic family gatherings. However, you haven’t seen your extended family in years, and, thus, are out-of-practice.
“Now, you don’t have to drink everything they try to give you. Because they will try to liquor you up to extract information,” he ran his hand over his face and sighed, taking his eyes off the road, glancing down at your hand, “You should take off your engagement ring.”
“Oh, sure. I never think about it, sorry,” heat rose to your face as you took it off, dropping it into your wallet for safekeeping.
“I don’t know what would be worse: everyone finding out you’re engaged to another man or everyone thinking we’re engaged,” he chuckled.
A pain radiated through your chest as you winced and mumbled, “Yeah, because being engaged to me would be horrible.”
“Fuck, that’s not- I didn’t mean it like that. I- I mean my family would jump all over you with a million questions,” he stumbled, shifting in his seat, “I don’t think that… that would be horrible. I, um, I hope that some day I’ll be able-“
“You don’t… have to tell me that, Javi, it’s fine. I get it,” you smiled weakly and lit a cigarette, rolled the window down. An awkward silence settled until you sighed, “Besides, being engaged to me isn’t that great. I heard I’m kind of a slut.”
“Well that’s perfect, I love sluts,” he grinned over at you boyishly.
You laughed and rolled your eyes at him, “I love you.”
As soon as you opened the door to hop out of Javi’s truck, you knew this was going to be a wild day. The music playing in the backyard could be heard a half a block away. You brushed off your dress and shook your hands out nervously before he strode over to embrace you and whisper, “Try not to worry, baby, they don’t bite,” into your hair before kissing you, transferring a tint of red lipstick onto his lips.
You laughed, “Red is a good color on you,” before helping him wipe it off.
The rumblings of conversation grew louder with every step up to the house. The moment he swung the door open, time started to blur. A blur of faces, names, foods, drinks, questions, comments. More than once you were compared to Lorraine; you still didn’t know what to make of that. Apparently, that’s the only girlfriend he has introduced to his family in the past 15 years. You ate so much food you thought you would fucking explode, but wished you could have somehow eaten more because it was so delicious. Javi’s cousins offered you a few drinks, which you graciously accepted, not heeding his warning, because you figured the alcohol would counteract the anxiety.
As predicted, his cousins Jose and Ricardo did try to divulge information once you had a few drinks under your belt. Javi went to go to the bathroom while you were sitting at a table, tapping your foot to the music, just looking around, observing people. The duo sat down at the table, then Jose asked how you met his cousin.
“Well,” you squinted and tilted your head, then leaned forward towards him, “We actually met a few years ago here in San Antonio. He um-” a loud laugh flew out of your mouth, “I was out with my roommate, and they went home together, ditching me at the club.”
“No shit?” Jose laughed, throwing his head back, “What an idiot.”
“We ended up talking and watching the movie IT after she went to bed. And then we got to talk more and, um, stuff when he came to visit her again,” you nodded, looking away when heat rose to your face at the implication of and, um, stuff in that sentence.
“I swear, I remember this happening,” Ricardo told you, his warm brown eyes sparkling, animated face expressing freely as he talked, “He stayed with me for a few days while he was back from Columbia. He went home with some chicks while he was here, you know how he is- er, was. But I remember this time because he came back at 5am, waking me up, telling me about ‘I watched the killer clown movie with this girl’ like, what the fuck dude let me go back to sleep?”
“That is me, I am that girl!” you smiled from ear-to-ear, pointing to yourself.
“Look, he wouldn’t want me to tell you this, but,” Ricardo leaned in to spill the tea as Jose started laughing at his brother’s antics, “When he came back after seeing you the second time, he was talking about ‘I think I found her’, like ‘I didn’t even feel this connection with Lorraine, it was fucking crazy’ and I just tried to tell him that he needs to get some sleep, man.”
You laughed and your face hurt from smiling so big, “He’s never told me that before, that’s so sweet.” Instead of basking in the after glow of the saccherine story, you feel something ugly gnawing at your brain. It's that fucking name again. After looking around to make sure Javi isn’t nearby, you inquired, “So… what's the deal with Lorraine?”
The mood immediately shifted from playful secret telling to something markedly more serious. They looked at each other, then Ricardo sat back and shook his head as if to say I’m not touching this one. Jose leaned forward, “What has he told you?”
“That it was a relationship that didn’t work out,” you responded with a shrug, then took a swig of beer.
“I guess that’s one way of putting it,” Ricardo howled, shaking his head, “That fucking guy.”
“They were engaged,” Jose explained, ignoring his brother.
“Oh, shit, really?” your eyes widened.
He was fucking engaged? Why would he hide that from me?
“Yeah… yeah. He uhh… he left her at the alter,” Jose grimaced.
There it is, that’s why.
“Oh fuck,” your eyes widened through a nervous giggle, “That is… horrifying.”
“What is?” Javi questioned as he pulled out the chair on the beside you and sat down, leaning in towards the conversation.
“You guys want to do a shot?” Ricardo offered, changing the subject promptly.
“Fuck yes,” you slapped the table, “Let’s do it.”
I’m going to save all my worrying about the Lorraine thing for later. Maybe never. Maybe I can just forget I ever knew.
Trying to avoid turning into a complete shit show and embarrassing yourself, you tapered off your drinking after this. You wanted to toe the line between socially lubricated and drunk, but started stumbling into drunk territory. When the sun started to go down, you and Javi bid everyone farewell so you could go check into the hotel. You received goodbye hugs from at least a dozen people who told you that they were happy to have met you, and they’d see you again. You were tense during the drive to the hotel, which you tried to keep under wraps as long as possible.
As long as possible just happens to be until he swings the door to your room opens. You know that you have to talk about it or you’re going to fucking detonate. It feels like you’ve been lied to, or at least misled, and the weight of that knowledge is pressing down on your chest, growing stronger every time you turn the words over in your head:
He was engaged. He left her at the altar. He abandoned the fuck out of her. Is that what he’ll do to me?
“What do you wanna do tonight?” he asks as he sinks down into the bed next to you. You swallow hard and take a deep breath.
“Ok, first thing I need to do, actually, is umm… talk to you about something... so it will stop eating away at me,” you stammer, biting down on your cheek as you look to him.
He looks alarmed as his brow furrows and he sits up on his elbow, waiting for you to continue.
“Tell me… more about Lorraine,” you request as you search his face for clues. His eyebrows raise and eyes widen as he scratches his neck, obviously trying to figure out what to tell you. Trying to figure out what you know.
“We were together for years. We were… engaged,” he sighs, looking down at his hands, then back up to meet your eyes, “I couldn’t do it. It wasn’t… right. It wasn’t real. I backed out.”
You continue to bore your eyes into him, making him squirm.
“Fuck, ok,” he groans, “I didn’t show to the wedding. Turned around on my way there. Got the fuck out.”
His words hang in the air like a cloud of noxious gas. You get lightheaded.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” you breathe, drawing your eyebrows together as your shoulders slump.
He shakes his head, exhaling in exasperation before admitting, “I didn’t want you to know about that part of me. It’s ugly.”
Doesn’t he know I’ll love every ugly part of him?
“Yeah… yeah, I get that. It’s literally my worst fear,” you swallow hard, “Is… is that going to happen with me one day where you just… can’t? And disappear without warning? Will you decide this isn’t real?” You tear up at the thought. He doesn’t respond right away, just stares, mouth agape. Long enough for you to think that maybe you shouldn’t have brought this up. Long enough for you to think that you shouldn’t have even asked his cousins about Lorraine. Long enough to think that he must trying to figure out how to tell you yes. Once those thoughts start, it’s like a floodgate has been opened.
Of course he will disappear on you too, why wouldn’t he? Especially now that you’re confronting him about something. Now that you’re upset about something.
His tendrils are in my heart, if he rips them out I will die.
Panic spreads through your body like venom, burning your veins. You stand up out of bed and start pacing, flapping your hands back and forth frantically. The sobs start to rise in your chest but you try to shove them back down. You walk over to the dresser to dig in your purse for your cigarettes.
Javi jumps up and cups your face, bringing your eyes to his as he furrows his brow, “Hey, hey, what’s going on? Talk to me.”
“I- I- I- I shouldn’t have said anything, I’m sorry. It’s none of my fucking business. I shouldn’t have tried to talk about this and ruin our night. I’m always fucking ruining things like this. Fucking crying all the time, fuck. So fucking selfish. I’m sorry, Javi,” you ramble through the fat salty tears rolling down your face.
His face drops and he pulls you into a bear hug, then kisses the top of your head and mumbles, “Don’t apologize, there’s nothing to apologize for. I’m not upset with you at all, cariño.”
You let your emotions run free as you bury your face in his chest, sobbing all of your racing thoughts into his shirt, “You don’t want me, Javi, I’m fucking crazy. Do you see this? This is me. Do you see me? This is who I don't want anyone to know. I’m broken. I’m so fucking broken. I always have been. Just- just get it over with and leave me, it’s ok. At least I’ll know, it helps if I know, I can prepare-“
“Hey hey hey heyheyhey-“ he shushes you and cups your cheeks again, stroking the tears away from your eyes with his thumbs. His lips press against your forehead, then your nose, your cheek, other cheek, your chin, your lips. He whispers, “You ruined nothing. Don’t be sorry. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m not leaving you-“
“You will, though, you will -“ you cry. Panic has fully hijacked your brain.
“Hey, I need you to look at me,” he tells you sternly, forehead pressing against yours. You nod, then look up into his eyes, chest heaving between the two of you. The connection starts to calm you down. He whispers again now, “Take a deep breath in through your nose, out through you mouth,” you follow the instruction, releasing tension on the exhale, “Good, that’s good. Keep doing that. Now… You didn’t do anything wrong. I love you. I swear on my mother’s grave I will not disappear.”
Your body shudders with a sob, “Ok.”
“Ok. Come lay down with me, baby,” he pulls you towards the bed. You sniffle and nod, following him, then settle into a fetal position on your side and concentrate on breathing. He lays down next to you and plays with your hair as you work through your terror.
After a few minutes, he takes a deep breath and speaks softly, “I'm sorry for not telling you about Lorraine. This is real. Me and you. I don’t know what it is, but it just feels… right with you. When I’m with you, I don’t want the time to end. I love you,” he rolls over on his side to face your back, words kissing the nape of your neck, “Even when I knew you before. I know it sounds like bullshit, but I swear to god… after I met you, almost every night while falling asleep, I would think of the beautiful woman I met in San Antonio who- who watched movies with me and made me smile and,” he cautiously envelops one of your hands in his. You roll over to face him. Once he realizes you’re allowing him to keep your hand in his, a soft smile dances across his face, and he strokes your palm with his thumb.
He continues with shaky breath, “She held my hand in one of the darkest times of my life. I would think about how being with her felt… like that’s how it’s supposed to be. I felt I could talk to her about anything. How the sex was fucking incredible, as if we were made for each other,” he gulps and waits a beat before whispering, “I would think about how badly I fucked up by letting her go.”
Hands lay intertwined between your bodies as he waits for you to say something. It’s so quiet you can faintly hear your heart pounding in your chest. All those nights laying in bed, restless and lonely, longing for the connection you felt with this fucking guy, feeling pathetic, wondering if he even remembered you. And he did the same thing.
“I thought about you all the time, too,” you whimper. He squeezes your hand and the corners of your mouth turn upward, “I didn’t know it was like that for you, too. When I saw you again and you didn’t recognize me… I was devastated. I felt like… such a fucking loser.”
He sighs and licks his lips thoughtfully, then meets your gaze, “When I was in Columbia, it changed me. I don’t remember a lot of details from that time. I was just... surviving. I- I couldn’t recognize your face when I saw you in Laredo. I just knew I was drawn to you. Even after you screamed at me in the middle of a fucking parking lot,” he smiles and you burst out laughing at the memory. He continues, “But as soon as I heard your laugh, it clicked. You’re her.”
The way he says her makes heat pool in your stomach. Her. Like you’re Aphrodite herself. A goddess, the answer to a prayer. You’re breathless as the butterflies are roused and start flittering around your chest.
He brings your wrist to his mouth, parting his lips to kiss the knotted scar tissue. A reminder that he loves every part of you. Even the parts you find so revolting that you’ve spent countless hours trying to decide if they’re worth fixing, or everyone’s better off if you scrap the whole project.
You reclaim your wrist from his grasp to run your fingers through his hair. To trace the wrinkles on his face, the shape of his lips, the arch of his nose. His face softens at your touch. In just a whisper, you tell him that you love him.
The response comes in the form of a kiss, delicate at first. But it’s like when sharks taste blood and go on a feeding frenzy. You taste his saliva and need to fucking devour, arching into him as his mouth responds with the same ferocity. He wastes no time blindly yanking your dress down so he can grab handfuls of your bare tits so hard you gasp into his mouth.
“Is that too hard?” he asks, already a panting mess.
“No, no I fucking love it, baby.” you mewl breathlessly as you push yourself closer.
“Fuck,” he groans as he squeezes even harder, watching you, eyes hot on your skin, as you moan and bite your lip. It’s pain, but it makes you feel fucking electric, tugging at something so satisfying in you. After so many blue, wretched, draining feelings hurting you from the inside… you want the red, bruising, stinging feelings on the outside. To reach some kind of equilibrium. Balance the scales.
A hand slips up the hem of your dress and rips your underwear off, then rubs up and down your slit. He moans, “Fuck, baby girl you’re so wet for me,” when he feels the slick spilling out of your aching, needy cunt. You whine and nod frantically as you thrust into his hand and start to grind against it. He tightens his vice grip on your tit, making you shudder, then he releases, “I want you face down ass up.”
“I want you to get undressed,” you huff in response.
He grins and raises an eyebrow, “Your wish is my command, princess.”
This brings a wide smile to your face as you watch him unbutton his white shirt, still wet with your tears, mascara and red lipstick smeared on it.
I must look like a fucking dream right now if that’s what his shirt looks like.
You pull the dress over your head, throwing it on the floor, then prop yourself up on your elbows, ass in the air facing him. One split second after you hear his pants hit the floor, his mouth is on you, lapping your juices up. You groan, “Fuck yes, Javi,” and tilt your pussy towards him as far as you can. He starts rolling his tongue on your clit, sending you sputtering. The fire is stoked inside you, swirling around.
He pulls back from eating your pussy to slap his hand to your ass cheek, literally making you growl, “Fuck yes, daddy, keep slapping my ass I fucking love it.” He complies, smacking until you’re sure your ass is beet red. The entire concept of humanity flies out of your brain. Each lash pulls a guttural moan from your lips. He grunts and curses, watching as your cunt floods more and more.
“Holy fuck, eat my pussy again, baby, please-“
“Please daddy,” he corrects, pulling all contact off of your body.
“P- please daddy please eat my pussy,” you whimper desperately, arching back.
“Ooooh fuck baby girl,” he coos, running his fingers through your swollen lips, covering them in your slick. His tongue returns to your clit, flicking the sensitive nub, as he sinks two fingers inside you and starts to fuck you. This causes you to dissolve into a whimpering, blithering mess. The fire in your center grows wider and wider.
“Keep- keep going daddy I’m going to cum yes yesyesyes just like- that it’s fucking perfect oh-“ your mouth holds the o shape as an you convulse around his fingers, still pumping into you. You try to clamp your legs shut with no avail. He holds you there, spread open so he can work you through the orgasm. He pulls his fingers out and runs his tongue between your lips to your opening, lapping at your cum, moaning into your cunt as you writhe and whimper.
Once satisfied, he climbs on top of you, taking hold of your face to wrench it towards him, letting you taste yourself on his tongue. You reach behind and clutch his hair, pulling his face closer, licking and kissing indiscriminately. You even lick his fucking mustache, even though it feels rough against your tongue.
“I want you so bad,” he rasps, grabbing at your waist.
“Then fucking take me, Javi,” you growl, pushing your ass against him as you start to grind against his throbbing cock, “Make me fucking cum again, please, daddy.”
“Fuck, I love you,” he whispers, “get on your knees.”
As he returns to the end of the bed, you slide back onto your knees, presenting yourself to him. His fingers dig into your hips, lighting your body up with goosebumps, and sinks his cock inside you. He chokes out, “H- holy shit, baby girl, your pussy is fucking perfect.”
He drags it out, and in your state of delirium, you whimper, “Its just for you, Javi, it’s yours- nobody else can have me.”
He starts driving into you, languid and deep, taking time to bury his fat cock in your cunt as far as it can go with each thrust. It feels like every nerve ending inside you is lighting up. Javi croaks, “Fuck yes, you’re all mine, cariño,” and starts fucking you faster, snapping his hips into yours, hitting something with just the right pressure and pace.
It’s at this point you start reduce from a human into puddle, choking out moans as his cock fills you over and over again. He groans and pulls out of you to flip you over, then starts rutting into you with such speed and force, it rips a sob from your throat. He pants, “Look at me.”
When you meet his gaze, your eyebrows draw together, there’s a tangible connection between the two of you. Love pools in your center, hedonistic as it swells, making your ears ring and your legs tremble. Your foreheads press together and the whimpers you’re panting out become gasping breaths as another wave of ecstasy crashes down onto you, swallowing you whole. He cups your face and steals sloppy, frantic kisses from you when his hips stutter and he finds his release.
The kisses slow to a trickle of delicate pecks as you both start to regain humanity, sweating and gasping for air. He tumbles sideways and sprawls out next to you.
“Jesus Christ, Javi,” you pant, casting a glance his way.
“What?” he laughs while grabbing blindly for his cigarettes and ashtray.
You shake your head, unable to get rid of the dopey smile plastered on your face, “I think that’s the hardest I’ve ever cum in my life.”
He has an equally dopey smile as he rolls onto his side and lights two cigarettes, handing you one. On the exhale, he mumbles, "Fucking love magic."
You smoke in silence for a minute or two, regaining your composure and resting heart rate.
“What now?” he asks eventually.
“Ok, well, I was thinking… I’ve really been wanting to do karaoke,” you tell him, observing his reaction.
Yes? No? Maybe?
“Karaoke?” he groans with the faintest hint of interest glimmering just below the surface.
I’ll take that as a maybe.
“Come on, it’ll be fun! We’ll get drunk before we take the plunge,” you slap his chest playfully, then bite your lip and jump up, puffing on your cigarette as you float over to the bathroom mirror. The person in the reflection has mascara bleeding down her cheeks and smeared around her eyes, lipstick gone, skin and hair drenched in sweat.
“Fine,” he smiles, peering over at you through the bathroom door.
You look at him in the reflection and scoff, “First of all, don’t act like you’re not a little excited. Second of all, how could you fuck me when I look like this? I’m a mess.”
He grinds his cigarette out in the ash tray and makes his way behind you, wrapping his arms around your bare belly as his lips press against your shoulder. His eyes meet yours in the mirror and he mutters, “You’re fucking beautiful.” It’s so sincere it makes your stomach flip, smile stretching across your face. He lays a kiss on your temple then inquires with a slap on your ass, “You wanna hop in shower with me?”
Four.
It takes four drinks before the two of you have enough gusto to put your names on the docket for karaoke. You agree to keep your songs a secret from each other. In the meantime, you people-watch, joke around, and talk about music. He asks what your favorite musical artist is, to which you reply it’s impossible to pick one, to which he replies, “That’s absolute bullshit.”
“It’s not, there’s so much good music! I can’t choose!” you throw your hands up defensively.
“Fine, give me 3,” he slaps his hand on the bar top. You’re both a little boozy, needing the liquid courage to do the dang thing, so the conversation is growing rowdier by the minute.
“FINE,” you snarl like a brat, earning a cheeky smile from him, “Let’s see… Hole, Violent Femmes, and…” you shake around the options in your head until you decide, “ABBA.”
“I can respect those choices,” he nods, takes a long sip from his drink, then adds, “Prince and Johnny Cash are the big ones for me.”
You smile from ear-to-ear and lean your head onto his shoulder a little, “I love that. Both very worthy artists.”
“So what song did you pick?” he asks with a sly smirk, then lays a kiss on your forehead.
“Javier FERDINAND Peña you know I can’t tell you. For shame,” you gasp theatrically, then sit up straight to take a drink.
Your name comes over the speakers and it’s your time to shine.
It is… terrifying. And so fun . You sing “Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin. Javi stands close to the stage with an unshakeable smile on his face, cheering you on and swaying his hips. When the song is over, he howls WOOO so loud your face turns hot as you walk off stage.
Javi sings “Kiss” by Prince. He dances in place and points at you while singing in his falsetto voice, almost hitting the highest notes. Which is, honestly, shocking and impressive, considering how deep his voice is. While watching, you dance and sing along, face hurting from smiling. And there’s not one single doubt in your body that you are hopelessly, irretrievably, relentlessly fucking in love with him.
On the drunken amble back to the hotel from the karaoke bar, you’re in love with the world, too. You stop in this 24 hour diner to get some greasy food before going to bed.
“Do you ever, like, just stop and think about how fucking beautiful this earth is? How amazing humans are?” you ask him loudly, “I don’t know if it’s because I’m drunk, or because I’m in love, or because this is the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had in my life, but its like… I’m so happy, Javi.”
He giggles at your introspection, “I am too.”
“My best friend is coming down this week, do you want to meet her?”
“Claudia? Fuck yeah, I’d love to meet her. What day does she come in?”
“Wednesday. Maybe we can go out to the bar or something.”
He nods as he takes a bite of his cheeseburger. It’s quiet for a moment as your mind wanders from all of the lovely things in the world, into real life.
“You know what sucks? I just know when I go home, it’s going to be hell. I hate it there,” you frown, picking at the french fries on your plate, “I want to run away with you. I hate him.”
“Running away doesn’t work long term, trust me,” he dismisses the comment immediately, then reaches over to grab some of your fries and shove them into his mouth, “The chickens always come home to roost.”
“That’s not the saying,” you scoff, “It’s the rooster always comes home to the chicken.”
Laughter bubbles out of him, “You’re so wrong right now, I don’t know where to start.”
“Kiss my ass, Peña,” you shoot back, so loud that a fellow customer turns and glares at you.
He keeps laughing, then looks up at you with sparkling eyes, “Has anyone ever told you that you’re kind of a fucking brat when you’re drunk?”
You hum, “Once or twice.”
“I like it,” he coos.
“Good,” you wink.
“You’re getting better at that,” he grins, “Alright let’s go.”

Limerence: The Masterpost ☆
I couldn't miss the opportunity for another canon-flavoured masterpost, so here I go again with Limerence. This collection is a prequel to Homecoming, so if you're not ready to say goodbye, by all means, carry on! The structure remains: above the cut lies links, and below lurks a prompt breakdown where I attempt to justify everything that just happened. Onward!
Tumblr: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Read it on AO3 ▶ Previous Masterposts: Homecoming〡Evermore
This is your rest stop. Beyond the Keep Reading banner are many words and manga caps for those with a vested interest in Inuyasha headcanons/meta/anecdotes. Snacks applicable!
Tumblr media
The Personal Bit ☆
ALRIGHT, masks off besties. Are they your OTP? Cause they’re my OTP too, and we should consider bursting into flames about it together (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥
I didn't think I’d participate with writing this year, until about a week before the event, when I was frying-panned with some notions. As a fellow bearer of the curse, it started with a seedling of Kagome looking out for Inuyasha in the modern era, whether she realised it or not and even if, logically, she knew better, and snowballed from there. So, I blasted through each prompt with the intention of keeping them short, and after a survey back, each chapter grew deceptively longer, and I thought: why not add a stair [100 words] to Kagome's case for each day?
This particular canon universe is approached thusly: the prompt is the starting point, and the characters do the rest. I don't control the narrative, the narrative controls me, type thing. Hence, chapters are plot-negative, and times skips are abundant. Anyway. Enough waxing!
Note: I am working with the Viz English translation of the Inuyasha manga with some anime filler for seasoning, and the timeframe for the 3-year separation falls loosely between 1998-2001.
Final Note: Limerence spoilers start here.
Tumblr media
Prompt Breakdown ☆
Day 1: Love Language(s)
Summary: Kagome's been distracted. Or, I hc that Kagome spent a good amount of time away with the fairies (and trying to catch up with school) when she first got back. Thoughts and Feels:
Love Language(s) were coined in 1992; the likelihood of them being such a commonly adopted phrase/ideology was as slim as Kagome knowing what her friends were going on about. They're a relatively new conception of navigating romance, but that doesn't mean buzzwords didn't make it into those teen mags we remember so well, though! Point for fuck it we ball!
For better or worse, friends are gonna be a tad nosy, and Kagome’s definitely were. Consistently and without fail:
Tumblr media
Chapter 23, Volume 3, Mask of Flesh ☆
—and how else to feel her “snapping back into the room” in 100 words, if not when confronted with mathematics?
Tumblr media
Chapter 411, Volume 42, The Kind One ☆
Fun Fact: There is a small high chance I spent the most time on this one overall because trying to spin a tale in 100 words is wild.
Day 2: Possession
Summary: Kagome acts on impulse. Or, I hc that uncanny resemblances might ruin a girl's day out. Thoughts and Feels:
Okay, yeah, okay, technically the baseball cap didn't happen in the manga. But this is why filler episodes are good for the ecosystem, or something.
Shock can have a lot of side effects. Confusion, agitation, complete and utter lack of personal or road safety (to name a few), and in Kagome's case here, shoving Inuyasha-shaped familiarity under her nose when she least expected it had her acting up, because not only has the well been sealed off for X time, she was used to him acting up whenever he stepped foot in the modern era:
Tumblr media
Chapter 392, Volume 40, A Peaceful Meal ☆
Her friends still care, though! Cause that's what friends are for! As wild of a creature as Kagome can be, they're aware of her “struggles” with her health, and are oddly used to her odd ways:
Tumblr media
Chapter 35, Volume 4, A Little Imp ☆
Fun Fact: I rewrote that last line, like, 7 times. The free writing tag is actually fake news.
Day 3: Safe
Summary: Kagome's has a nightmare. Or, I hc that a brave face doesn't do much when she's at her most vulnerable. Thoughts and Feels:
If you've ever had nightmares/night terrors/sleep paralysis, you'll know how, well, terrifying they can be. Lucid states between sleep and wakefulness has a nasty way of warping perceptions, and with everything Kagome witnessed, her dreamscapes had to be vivid, especially after her stint in the jewel, where reality and fantasy blurred real bad, and what's worse, it taunted her about it:
Tumblr media
Chapter 554, Volume 56, High School Life ☆
To further that point, Inuyasha gets brutal - beheadings, graphic slaughterings (sometimes at the hands of an MC eheh), you know, justgirlythings - and therefore toned down for television, as anime adaptations often are. Kagome was 15, and while she did that, it would leave a mark. Trauma, guys. We're talking about trauma now.
If the reference was caught during her tiny tale: the scene with Mama H being shook to fuck over her baby glowing is anime-only, but I really dig the idea that she knew something was up with Kagome from Day 0, really aided in reasoning why she was so okay with her daughter doing all that, thank you for understanding. Another point for filler!
Tumblr media
Fun Fact: I…barely remember writing this one, actually, truly, read it back a week later like: don't know her. I love her like any proud mother, though!
Day 4: Modern
Summary: Kagome asks a question she doesn’t like the answer to. Or, I hc that curiosity killed the cat. Thoughts and Feels:
The trickiest one, in terms of setting. I spent too much time looking into the availability and flavours of historical records in Tokyo (particularly 2000ish, bc digital archives weren't that hot then) and came to the conclusion that while yes, it was possible for her to gain access to [something], no, it wasn't very likely she'd come across any death records, (specifically Koseki) for her friends, with the added bonus that family names are notably lacking until 1868. But take Kagome's resourcefulness + Japan's love for paperwork, and it led me here – to some kinda fake archive with fake books and fake names that could potentially be somebody that she used to know. And while I try my best to be respectful of the people and the setting I'm writing within, I asked myself bluntly, if I really gave a fuck about being accurate in this regard/fictional setting, and the answer was also: no. There isn't a Sunset Shrine either, so a fictional National Archives with The Right Documents there shall be.
Of all the Fuedal-Inuyasha characters, I feel like Sango is the one that would have Done Something to leave a mark, somewhere written on paper. You know...Badass Women For Agriculture Union [codeword for demon slaying], something. Yeah, Miroku was a holy man, but we're not talking about history right now, we're talking about Herstory.
And finally, that moment. The one where Kagome almost cracked and unleashed self-inflicted rage on some guy, cause time didn't cease to exist for them. The thing about Kagome, apart from her being an all round great character, is that she isn't tame, nor timid, and certainly no shrinking violet. But where she's brash and loud and (sometimes) quick to anger, she's also kind. And reasonable, and at the core, a wonderful person, and that duality is what makes her so lovable, relatable, and fun to write. Lookit her:
Tumblr media
Chapter 175, Volume 185, Where They First Met ☆
Fun Fact: I really wanted to point out that Kagome was supposed to be in her high school uniform, but writing restriction said naur. Irrelevant. Also, this is my favourite chapter. Weird, right? Haha?
Day 5: Heat
Summary: Kagome hears a bump in the night. Or, I hc that stranger things have occurred than a random bout of sleepwalking while living with PTID (Post Traumatic Isekai Disorder). Thoughts and Feels:
There was a small blip in time where this chapter skewed Mature. Explicit, even. Something about imagining a certain someone in a compromising position, but then the wind changed direction, and I went for literal heat. Japanese summers are stifling, and heat...is hot. Ace card, go!
Lunar charts and such: they don't add up when you compare two points in time, 500 years apart. But there could still be some peculiar celestial moon stuff that led a sleep-deprived Kagome to have a gander at the moon, especially when it's new.
Tumblr media
Chapter 140, Volume 15, The Other Side of the Well ☆
Inuyasha had a brilliant way of turning up when she least expected him, or staying away when she wanted to see him the most. There are little things that happen, like an open window or remnants of a dream that might stay with her upon waking, to lead her to think-maybe it was him?
Tumblr media
Chapter 287, Volume 29, Mimisenri ☆
BEHIND THE SCENES REVEAL: Kagome was the one who opened her door and tried to feed the cat, but it didn't work, because sleepwalkers are silly. Easter Eggy Subtext: Buyo is the catalyst, but Kagome is the key. Think about it.
Tumblr media
Chapter 494, Volume 50, Two Worlds ☆
Day 6: Courting
Summary: Kagome tries her best. Or, I hc that Kagome gives it the old college effort, a la jewel illusion. Thoughts and Feels:
Kagome's family want the best for her. Kagome's friends are boy-crazy hen-peckers. Hojo is cute, and has always shown an interest in Kagome. Therefore: it would be wild to assume she didn't at least say yes, once, to going out with him, even if she knew it really wasn't going to go anywhere:
Tumblr media
Chapter 140, Volume 15, The Other Side of the Well ☆
Sometimes you have to do things to understand how much you don't want to do that thing. At this point in time, Kagome's coming up for graduation, she's spent almost 3 years dealing with everything that happened to her, and she's not a complete tool. However, the mind wanders, especially when you'd rather someone else's company:
Tumblr media
Chapter 69, Volume 8, Sensing Presences ☆
She's going to give the modern era one last shot – because while romance isn't everything, it can be part of something – before throwing in the towel and saying fuck it, I tried. And as Kagome's will Kagome, she'd want to make an effort for the sake of others:
Tumblr media
Chapter 35, Volume 4, A Little Imp ☆
Fun Fact: This chapter (and the next) ended up floating around 1.5K at first draft. I'd like to formally apologise to the words lost in transit, you will be missed.
Day 7: Smile
Summary: Kagome comes home. Or, I hc that Kagome finally puts her wants, needs and feelings first, and those might suspiciously man-shaped. Thoughts and Feels:
Yeahyeah, the “I never thought I'd write this”, we've all seen it. But it's true! Never thought I'd write a chapter retelling, and this one is that fact's poster child. They aren't my bag (to read or to write) but the ending was there all along, obviously:
Tumblr media
Chapter 494, Volume 50, Two Worlds ☆
The right wish, the wrong wish, a selfish wish, a selfless wish – as many Isekai's go, wish fulfilment is a huge part of the narrative (not just for Kagome, but so many of the characters) but she, unlike others, had a huge weight on her shoulders about making the right one that I wanted to tease out that moment where she gets it:
Tumblr media
Awfully familiar cap is familiar, Chapter 558, Volume 56, Tomorrow ☆
Are you sure you're supposed to be there, Miss Thing? Life doesn't end just because you finished a job, or have to feel beholden to a sense of home. Home can be anywhere! Home can be a person! You can do it, bestie. Do it for her! Her is you! Go Kagome!
Tumblr media
Chapter 79, The Fruits of Evil ☆
She made her dreams – from acing school, to making her family proud, to seeing Inuyasha again – a reality. There's really nothing more I can say about that, it's all there. She chose herself! And that included him! Ain't that neat!
Fun Fact: In Japanese, Inuyasha calls her a baka. In the scanlation, he calls her an idiot. In the English sub/dub, he calls her an idiot. In the Viz translation (the one I refer to most) he calls her a fool. Imho, in English, he says idiot, cause Inuyasha has zero respect and carries that no-finesse kind of rizz. Bless him.
Bonus Fun Fact: Chapters like this are why I'm such a flaming monster about writing advice being a tool, not a rule. Those last two lines, without the use of But and And at the beginning, would not carry the same weight and timing I wanted to achieve, therefore, you can pry them as sentence starters out of my cold, dead hands.
The End.
Weehee! This could have been way longer (you're thinking how, I'm thinking I'm proud of how restrained I was) but alas, we've reached the end. Thanks again to @inukag-week for hosting the event of all time! I love them sooo much. Sososo much, they're the best little guys 🎉
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, click here to send me an ask! I love not shutting up about them 🛸

► BIOGRAPHY
TW; family dysfunction
When Anastasia was born, her name was given as a path of life. Her mother having had been one of the most famous ballerinas for the Russian Ballet, it only made sense to give her daughter the name of one of the most sought-after roles for dancers. At the time, her parents had no idea just how big of a force she was going to be in the ballet realm. As others took steps, Anastasia took leaps. She was quickly the favorite in every studio she walked into, and she also managed to be the top of her class in academics as well. Even when making the switch from a public school to a prestigious performing arts school when she was in middle school, Anastasia never faltered in the changes in her life. From Clara in The Nutcracker, to Odette and Odile in Swan Lake, her talent well proceeded her and her mother gracefully handed on the baton of the ballet legacy when she retired. Though, Anastasia loved ballet; the discipline and well as the freedom, she also began to struggle when her mother retired. It was then, that she wasn't dancing for herself anymore, but living a life her mother could live vicariously through. At least she still had figure skating. Figure skating was something that was fully Anastasia's. Even when she was first competing, she loved the adrenaline rush that came from being on the ice. After the induction into the NYC Ballet, after touring headlining shows and juggling a social life and her figure skating, Anastasia told her mother that she wanted to pursue a higher education in mass communications. She received a full-ride scholarship (though she didn't need it) for an accelerated program in journalism and mass communications because of her GPA and outstanding SAT scores to NYU. Her father was the one who wouldn't let her pass it up. Suddenly, Anastasia's name is plastered all over the papers when her competition broke their ankle. Now having to compete in a placement that was given to her on a technicality, Anastasia is battling the negative headlines whilst trying to clean her family name. Ana is currently residing in Merrock as her family's beach house to try to get some of the pressure from the press off of her.
► DEEP DIVE
Anastasia is a force to be reckoned with; She's not afraid to speak her mind, and competition runs in her veins. If she wants something, she goes and gets it, and may no one get stuck in her path. Though she can be intense in these ways, she also has a warmth to her that draws people in. Elegant, soft, and almost whimsical - Anastasia can never truly fit in anywhere. If anything, she sticks out like a sore thumb. This aspect about her either makes her well-loved or disliked (some may write her off as pretentious or snobby), depending on the person. She loves art history due to her father being an art historian and growing up listening to all sorts of foreign fairytales and mythology. She's a hopeless romantic, but tends to self sabotage relationships. She enjoys dancing in the rain and making life cinematic at any and every opportunity. She's genuinely kind, and at the end of the day she'll make anyone laugh without knowing she's being funny. She's just drawn as a villian but has such a soft girl vibe.She's just guarded to a default due to coming from old money on her father's side and experiencing people trying to use her/them to get to the fortune.

Shawn Michaels vs Stone Cold Steve Austin pt 2
So before I begin I must give my apologies if you were waiting on this as I've been backed up with other projects. Next I wanna give all proper credit to Wrestling Bios on YouTube, his reliving the war series made this a whole lot easier instead of having to look up various different resources to put this series together, and if you arent subscribed to his channel you can click this link here!
he reviews classic games like No Mercy, WCW/NWO Revenge, WWF Attitude and Warzone if youre nostalgic for those games. if not here we are!
So the next night on Raw after No Way Out of Texas, DX were said to be pursuing legal advice following their loss to Steve's team. The broadcast airs a vignette with Chyna and its showcasing her achievements so far...and ends with her receiving a Stone Cold Stunner at the previous nights PPV. They aren't on the show tonight..but that stunner was pretty damn funny still.
The following week on Raw, DX cut a promo from Shawn's house. Triple H mentioned that the only way for Raw to raise its rating was for them to come to Shawns house, and if they get ratings from chaos then the next 4 weeks are about to set the nielsen rating books on fire. Shawn says Owen, Steve, and Mike Tyson are due to be on Raw the next week in Cleveland and that would be a great place to start raising hell and so the best place to end it is at...YOU GUESSED IT....WRESTLEMANIA. Shawn not only confirms but guarantees the match with Steve at Mania. Triple H says to the camera that from here on out, Wrestlemania is going to be X Rated...(of course they changed it to DX rated).
The next week on RAW opens up with DX, and Triple H says "The road to Wrestlemania Begins tonight, Wrestlemania is X Raided (Rated whatever), Parents need to get their childrens permission because discretion is advised, but will be completely ignored." When Shawn takes the mic, he says DX are going to make Tyson an offer he cant refuse, and should he refuse he wont ever forget DX and thats a promise (his words not mine). He then says Steve is going to face the Showstopper, The Icon, The Main Event (you know that 97 Shawn Michaels spiel) and hes going to show that the toughest S.O.B in the WWF isn't tough enough to deal with the Heartbreak Kid. Shawn tells Steve to put on his dancing shoes because hes going to taste some Sweet Chin Music tonight..and of course Steve makes his way down to the ring and right before he gets a chance to square up with Shawn the lights go out and Kane makes his way down while Shawn and DX manage to escape...of course Steve is pissed. A lil later Tyson arrives with Shane McMahon.
Tumblr media
Later on in the night Tyson comes down to the ring with Vince and the pre-Corporation keep in mind the crowd is booing. In the ring, Vince asks Tyson if hes going to be the enforcer or is Austin going to enforce his own rules..all questions will be answered at Wrestlemania and the crowd boos even louder (I dont blame them i wouldve booed McMahon too. Right when Mike is about to speak DX music hits and they come down to the ring. Shawn snatches the mic from Vince and says his name isnt Steve Austin and DX isnt here to disrespect Tyson as thats not their style. But they will call people out face to face. Shawn says to Tyson he should make no mistake hes looking at the WWF champ and the champ is calling him out right here right now..BOYYYYY (Yeah he really called him boy, not sure in what context but moving on) After agreeing to a throwdown, Shawn clears the ring out. Tyson dares Shawn to hit him and after a little suspense building Shawn rips his WWF Attitude shirt off to reveal a DX shirt and the crowd goes WILD.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They really werent feeling this until he was revealed i thought that was insane as a kid but getting older and seeing celebrities come in and out of the WWE. I realized why just didnt know it was going on back in 1998. But regardless, still this was great. Just this shot alone.
Tumblr media
Before he gets in his car to leave the arena, Tyson is being hounded by Michael Cole with Cole asking Tyson about what just happened and MIke says that Stone Cold is going to get knocked out cold at Wrestlemania, he shuts the door and drives off. At the end of the night Steve was scheduled to go against Kane. While making his way down to the ring he notices Triple H standing on the stage so of course he goes after him, Shawn comes from behind out of nowhere with a Sweet Chin Music as soon as Steve turns around.
One thing I want to mention about the March 2nd episode of Raw. This was the night the scratch logo officialy made its way into the stage display, going from the simplistic curtain and titantron combo to now having an arch like structure with the logo situated right in the back...ahhh good times. This version of the logo was prototype as hell and it makes me cringe especially when you see they had a more proper version of the logo in the scaffolding on the sides of the stage, but its still history nonetheless.
Tumblr media
The following week on the March 9th episode of Raw. Triple H comes out with Chyna and once again reminds the crowd that Wrestlemania is going to be X Raided (Rated). Talks about how Chyna got into Owens head last week and this week, she might get physical if she wanted to, he then tells the crowd Shawn isnt there and of course they boo. After cutting to a replay of last weeks Superkick to Austin, Shawn is shown in a diner. He says thst Tyson joining DX changes everything at Wrestlemania. He then says whats even sweeter than that is the fact that Shawn said last week Steve is going to taste Sweet Chin Music, he proved Steve is just like everyone who steps up to HBK. He gets dead serious when he says the old line "HBK doesnt lay down for anybody and hes certainly not going to lay down for Steve at Wrestlemania. Steve is nothing more than a fad when HBK will always be IN in the WWF... (hmm yeah we'll see about that sir). Shawn is going to knock him down and drag him out and he's going to walk out of Wrestlemania the WWF champion..and Triple H says if youre not down with that then they've got TWO WORDS FOR YA!!!! Before taking a seat at the commentary table right before Owens match.
Tumblr media
And it seems someone who had two words for Triple H..
Annnnnd of course during Owens match with Barry Windham (Bray Wyatts namesake), Chyna gets involved and causes the DQ.
Tumblr media
Would ya look at that face, she really put her all into that low blow didnt she?
At the end of the night Raw airs an interview with J.R and Tyson.
Tumblr media
Mike says he is excited to be working in the WWF, but he was skeptical on how he would be received..looking back on the episode when he joined DX, he wasn't wrong but the reveal must've lead to a pleasant surprise to him with him being cheered on. J.R asks him how he feels about Austin shoving him the night after the Royal Rumble. He admits Austin pissed him off but he cant wait to get his hands on him at Wrestlemania. Jim asks him abotu his role in DX and warns that Triple H and Shawn use people to get ahead and Tyson said pretty straightforward that every body is using everybody including the guy giving the interview. Last words of the interview pertain to whether or not he will be a fair ref and Mike says life hasnt been fair to him and he ended it with "fair is winning". Its like I get where he was going but that shit went completely left. Im sure Mike knew it didnt make sense but look at that face, does it look like he cares? As long as the checks are cleared, he's good.
Tumblr media
Now on to the main event of the night.. Triple H vs Savio Vega. Now because Austin made his threats security are heavy out there and mere fucking seconds after the bell rings...
Tumblr media
Shoved the ref and head of security..with his old ass...WHATS THE POINT OF ELDERLY HEADS OF SECURITY BACK IN THE DAYS..(DOUG DILLINGER IM LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU). But back to the match..... STUNNERS FOR EVERYONE... and by everyone I mean Savio
Tumblr media
And after laying almost everybody out he turns around into a big surprise...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And down goes Austin....
And Shawn almost went down too
Tumblr media
Keep in mind his back was out of commission at this time and he wasn't supposed to be getting physical..but like the team player he is.. he plays it off even though you can see it in his face.
Tumblr media
Now this night Raw pulls one of Nitros signatures and leaves the crowd on a cliffhanger when DX has Austin prepped up for the chair shot...they go off the air...not kidding check it out.
Tumblr media
They literally went off the air right when Shawn cocked back for the swing LOL.
Next week on Raw sees a lot of hype videos since Wrestlemania is officially two weeks away. The first hype video is of course of Shawn, Michael Cole is jocking for position on Shawns...nevermind... hes giving him his flowers saying why hes synonymous with Wrestlemania, the glitz, the glamour, the pomp and pagentry...sounds like someone describing British traditional ceremonies (not a shot, I rock with the Brits...seriously lets party)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A very glitzy and glamourous man indeed...
We have a promo segment with Vince McMahon and Kevin Kelly (Yes Kevin Kelly from New Japan for all the younger wrestling fans). Vince starts off by saying his in ring meeting with Steve was unfortunate and unprofessional. They show a replay when Steve flips Vince off and Mr. McMahon says he didnt appreciate that and this was again very unprofessional. Vince then says it was Austin that was stunned when Shawn brought out Mike Tyson to join DX. A clip shows Austin offering Vince a free shot that he refused to take. Vince said Austin wouldve had a broken jaw if he took it. Another clip shows Austin kicking Vince out of the ring and Vince said he obliged because it wouldnt look good to see the boss drop Steve's punk ass...no he didnt say the punk ass part but he did let his "grapefruits" hang on this night..everyone including Jerry Lawler found it hilarious. One question remains unanswered and its if Mcmahon wants to see Steve as WWF champ.. and its not just a simple "no" its a "OH HELL NO!!'
Tumblr media
Vince was definitely breaking out of his shell as an on screen character isnt he? ...cant wait to cover the feud between him and Austin.
Anywho...afterwards they show a Steve Austin hype package.
DX havent really been featured tonight but while Owen was on commentary, Triple H comes down unannounced.
Tumblr media
A pissed off Helmsley comes down talking mad trash and gets in his face calling him less than a man for stealing the European championship. He says he wants a match tonight for the belt.
Tumblr media
Owen tells Triple H to wait until Mania so to get under Owens skin and make sure he gets his wish, he mushes Owen in the face.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If "I'm going to kick this guys fuckin ass" was a facial expression this would definitely be it.
They begin to brawl. And since theres a referee on hand, it seems as if we have a title match boys and girls! While brawling, Triple H gets thrown into the steps, once they get in the ring, the bell rings. After the match starts they spill back to the outside and this time Owen gets thrown in to the ringpost. Triple H causes a distraction looking like a medieval wench..
Tumblr media
Was I wrong? (best jokes in the comments)
But Chyna comes from behind with a baseball bat and smacks Owens injured leg. Once Owen is rolled back into the ring, Triple H puts him in a submission hold and the referee calls for the bell.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Triple H won his title back and tells Owen hes going to send him back to Calgary in a wheelchair if he shows up to Wrestlemania. He then says he has two words for him..
Tumblr media
Next up...the go home show before Wrestlemania!
I'm going to end this here because I guess I went overboard with the imagery and I wont have the necessary room to add any more images with my description of next week so I will talk about the next episode soon after I make this upload. Stay Tuned and thank you again for coming back.

Today's mix:
DJ-Kicks: Stereo MC's by Stereo MC's 2000 Breakbeat / Breaks / Hip Hop / Trip Hop / Downtempo
Here we get a smörgåsbord of selections that reveal some of the all too wild depths of UK hip hop and electronic group Stereo MC's' very own collective record crates. If you've never heard of these guys before, they tore up the early 90s back home with their third LP, Connected, and then they didn't release another album of any kind until this mix from '99/2000, as a part of Berlin label !K7's own consistently brilliant DJ-Kicks series.
So, this set in particular, which I think is the first mix that they ever released commercially, sees the Stereo guys weaving together a deeply-grooved, heady, and flat-out stoned tapestry that seems to be made of some of their absolute favorite tracks, both classic and contemporaneous, and in totality, makes for a deadly grab-bag that combines old school breaks, superb rap tunes, and psychotropically subterranean downtempo, trip hop, and breakbeat instrumentals.
And while this description should already sell you on just how good this thing is, there's also something else: a few separate times throughout this journey, the Stereo boys take a hip hop a cappella and match it to a very different instrumental than the one it had originally been paired with. Witness what they do with the Ultramagnetic MC's' 1992 song, "Poppa Large," by laying it over the very obscure Soul Circuit revision of The Freakniks' "Tell Me Why" from 1997. And then wait for the mix to proceed to the next track, where they let the instrumental from The Disco Four's 1981 tune, "Do It, Do It" ride for a little bit, until they drop "Poppa Large" on that beat too! Then later on, listen to what they pull off with ephemeral rap trio The Associates' 1998 song, "From the Ground Up," and Freddy Fresh's "Roller Rinks and Chicks" from that same year. All of it's so good! 😎
Not a bad word to say about this thing. Unpredictable, wig-splitting madness with a tracklist that spans across decades. Another timeless banger from the eclectic and unwavering DJ-Kicks series 😤.
Listen to the full mix here.
Highlights:
The Mike Theodore Orchestra - "Moon Trek" The Troubleneck Brothers - "Back to the Hip Hop" Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - "Road to the Riches" Freakniks - "Tell Me Why (Revised by Soul Circuit)" Ultramagnetic MC's - "Poppa Large" The Disco Four - "Do It, Do It" Sofa Surfers - "Beans & Rice" Divine Styler - "Tongue of Labyrinth" Freddy Fresh - "Roller Rinks and Chicks" The Associates - "From the Ground Up (a cappella)" Oil - "Slight of Hand" Stereo MC's - "Rhino, Part II" 57th Dynasty - "Pharaoh Intellect" 101 Strings - "Flameout" The Herbaliser - "Theme From Control Centre (reprise)" Mark Stewart - Hypnotize" The Funky Lowlives - "Latazz" Hieroglyphics - "At the Helm" Stereo MC's - "Rhino, Part III" Red Snapper - "Seeing Red" Stereo MC's - "Rhino, Part I"
And by the way, here's a list, off the top of my head, of other great trip hop/downtempo/breakbeat/hip hop-oriented mixes from this same series:
In no certain order,
Kruder & Dorfmeister Terranova Nightmares on Wax Kid Loco Thievery Corporation

Get out now. Not just outside, but beyond the trap of the programmed electronic age so gently closing around so many people at the end of our century. Go outside, move deliberately, then relax, slow down, look around. Do not jog. Do not run. Forget about blood pressure and arthritis, cardiovascular rejuvenation and weight reduction. Instead pay attention to everything that abuts the rural road, the city street, the suburban boulevard. Walk. Stroll. Saunter. Ride a bike, and coast along a lot. Explore.      Abandon, even momentarily, the sleek modern technology that consumes so much time and money now, and seek out the resting place of a technology almost forgotten. Go outside and walk a bit, long enough to forget programming, long enough to take in and record new surroundings.      Flex the mind, a little at first, then a lot. Savor something special. Enjoy the best-kept secret around—the ordinary, everyday landscape that rewards any explorer, that touches any explorer with magic.      The whole concatenation of wild and artificial things, the natural ecosystem as modified by people over the centuries, the built environment layered over layers, the eerie mix of sounds and smells and glimpses neither natural nor crafted—all of it is free for the taking, for the taking in. Take it, take it in, take in more every weekend, every day, and quickly it becomes the theater that intrigues, relaxes, fascinates, seduces, and above all expands any mind focused on it. Outside lies utterly ordinary space open to any casual explorer willing to find the extraordinary. Outside lies unprogrammed awareness that at times becomes directed serendipity. Outside lies magic.
—John R. Stilgoe, from Outside Lies Magic: Regaining History and Awareness in Everyday Places (Walker Publishing Co., 1998)
