Author’s Note: Hello my horny friends. I hope this fic finds you well. Have some vulgar Jacob smut. This is self-indulgent, as it usually is. Jake makes me question my sanity… this fic is merely a glimpse for you all into my madness. This is a little on the shorter side but when it's literally just porn and no plot that's what happens. Also VERY minimally edited so apologies in advance.

Once again, this fic wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for @jakeyt I hope you know that I love you so much and I’m so glad I have you in my life. Your constant encouragement means the world.

The thing is, it never really gets easier – the whole long distance thing that is. You get better at it, sure. But it never actually becomes easier to deal with. If anything, you only miss him more when he’s gone than you used to. Jake has this… aura about him that draws you into him – pulling you into his orbit whether you want to be or not. Though he’s not known to his fans as the loud one (that title remains firmly on Josh), Jake’s personality when he’s with you is anything but subdued. He’s sweet like no other man you’ve ever met, and can make you laugh harder than anyone else, and the comfort that he radiates is unparalleled. And so his absence is only made all the more painful the longer you’ve been with him.

This time especially, going on almost two months without getting to see him, you’re physically aching to be near him again. Daily texts and FaceTimes only satisfy you so much, and at this point you’re desperate. He’s coming home tonight and your body is practically vibrating with your excitement as you tidy up things around the house in order to pass the time.

He’d said he’d be home around 7pm and god have these past few hours been the longest of your entire life. You’ve showered and shaved – making sure to use the body wash that Jake loves the smell of; and you’ve slipped into the little lingerie set that always drives him nuts, coupled with nothing but one of his old t-shirts. The two of you had phone sex a few times throughout his absence, but the action only ever leaves the both of you aching and missing the other even more. Jake has always been a tactile individual, loving the feeling of you and the feeling of the two of you together. So you know that as soon as he gets home he’s going to be all over you. That at least, is one positive of his long absences. Fuck is the welcome home sex incredible.

Taking a seat on the sofa, you glance up at the clock for what feels like the millionth time.

7:07pm

You clench your thighs in anticipation as you watch the front door. You’re almost embarrassed by the way you're literally sitting here waiting like a dog for its owner to come home. But it really has been so long so you figure you’ve earned the right to be this desperate.

You glance up again.

7:16

Furrowing your brow, you check your phone to see if he’s texted you. Nothing.

Sighing, you click your phone off and place it back down on the table.

Another five minutes.

You check your phone again. Then the clock. Then your phone again. You fix your hair. Check the clock again.

And just when it hits 7:45 and you’re about to pick up your phone to call him, the front door practically slams open and in steps Jake – looking frazzled and annoyed but no less handsome than he had the last time you saw him.

“Fuck, I hate airports.” His voice is the same as you remember it too – deep and soft as it envelopes you like a warm hug.

Rising from your seat quickly, you stride over to where he’s standing, surveying his appearance for a moment. His hair is slightly longer, the ends resting just below his shoulders. He’s shaved since the last time you FaceTimed, but the barely there dusting of hair that adorns his top lip lets you know that maybe he’s thinking of growing it out again.

You both stand there for a second, eyeing the other in a strange dance of anticipation. Finally, you reach out and grip his wrist, tugging him in close to you. Almost as if the action broke the seal, suddenly he’s on you, shoving you backwards until your back slams into the wall.

“Jake.” You whine, but he silences you by sealing his lips over yours, immediately plunging his tongue into your waiting mouth. It’s all teeth and tongues and there’s nothing but desperation behind it as he practically devours you. The both of you moan as his bulge presses against you.

“Missed you so much, angel.” He breathes out between kisses, and all you can do is whimper in response as his plush lips trail down to your throat, nipping and biting as he goes.

You bring your hands up to tangle in his hair, tugging on it hard to get a reaction from him. Never one to disappoint, a groan rumbles through his chest at the sting.

His strong hands grip your hips and lift, effortlessly picking you up and you wrap your legs around his waist to steady yourself. His mouth doesn’t leave your skin once as he walks the two of you over to the sofa before he unceremoniously deposits you onto it.

Still trapped between your thighs, Jake sinks to the floor onto his knees.

“Missed you too. So much.” You tell him, gripping his shoulders and digging your fingers into the hard muscle that lies hidden beneath his button down shirt.

He pulls away from you for a moment and his eyes look practically black as he stares at you. His chest is heaving and his lips are already swollen and slick with spit. You’re sure that you probably look even worse off than he does as your desperation for him grows with each passing second.

“I’ve been thinking about this for days.” He admits, splaying his palms out on your thighs and spreading your knees apart. His eyes trail downwards and you watch with rapt attention as they widen slightly as he sees the deep green lace of your panties. A wolfish grin spreads across his lips. “These are my favorite.”

“I know.” Your voice comes out quiet, almost a whisper. “Put them on just for you.”

“You spoil me.” His finger trails across your clothed center, just barely pressing into your clit through the fabric.

You whine and spread your legs wider, begging him to finally touch you where you need him.

“And as gorgeous as you look in these…” He says, hooking his fingers in the elastic and tugging. “You look even better without them.”

He slides the lacey fabric down your legs, allowing you to kick them off onto the floor. His eyes rake across you, greedily taking in the sight of your drenched pussy for the first time in weeks.

“Fuck.” He whispers, licking his lips and running a calloused finger through your folds. “Even prettier than I remember.”

Sweeping his eyes up to yours, Jake grips your thighs again tightly before diving into you, sucking on your clit and drawing a loud moan from you.

“Jake!” Your eyes slam shut at the immediate relief of his mouth on you.

He’s eating you out like it’s his job, plunging his tongue into you roughly as his nose presses into your swollen bundle of nerves. Your moans and whines are interrupted by his own sounds – tiny little groans and grunts as he diligently brings you closer and closer to the edge of climax.

Embarrassingly fast, that coil in your belly begins to tighten and you reach down to tug on his hair in warning. Instead of drawing away, Jake only renews his efforts and the coil snaps as your orgasm tears through you. He laps up your release without pause, moaning at the taste of you before pulling away.

“That was fast.” He grins, a smug smirk overtaking him.

“Fuck off. It’s been too long.” You tell him, trying to catch your breath.

“Or I’m just that fucking good.”

You shake your head at him, fighting a grin.

“Mmm. Missed you being a cocky little shit.” You tell him, sarcasm clear in your tone.

“Did you now?” He hedges, narrowing his eyes at you playfully.

“Oh yeah. I really miss- Oh!”

Without warning, Jake plunges a finger into you, immediately finding that spot inside you that drives you fucking wild.

“What was that?” He asks, adding another finger.

You can’t answer, too focused on the heavenly feeling of his fingers that you missed so much.

“I’ll tell you what I missed.” He says, fingers picking up their pace as he fucks you with them. “I missed this pretty pussy. And I missed those lovely sounds that you make when I hit that special little spot inside of you.” He punctuates his sentences by curling his fingers upwards and brushing your g-spot, drawing a loud cry from you. “Like that one. Fuck, I missed that sound.”

“Jesus Christ.” You moan, overcome with pleasure as he presses his thumb into your clit, rubbing tight circles over you.

This is so much better than all those nights on the phone with him – nights where you lay there wishing that it was his fingers pleasuring you and not your own. But now he’s finally here, and the combination of having him after so long coupled with his stupidly talented fingers has your second orgasm approaching just as quickly as the first.

“Come on, angel.” He encourages, eyes glued to where his fingers fuck in and out of you. “Give it to me.”

The band snaps for the second time, and this time the feeling is white hot and overwhelming, leaving you with shaky legs and a brain completely absent of any conscious thought.

“Jacob!” You whine, body left reeling as he pulls his fingers from you. “I need your cock. Please. Fuck, I need it.” You beg, reaching out to him to pull him in closer.

“I know. I know, angel.” He mutters, extracting himself from your grip and standing up. He quickly unbuttons his shirt and tosses it to the ground before turning away from you. You furrow your brows for a moment as you watch him start to leave before realization washes over you.

Condom your brain finally supplies. He’s going to get a condom.

As if acting on its own accord, your hand darts out to wrap around his wrist, stopping him. He turns back to you, confusion clouding his eyes as he takes in your expression.

Before you can talk yourself out of it, you shake your head at him.

“No condom.”

“But-” he starts, turning back around to face you fully. “You’re not on birth control.”

“I know.” You say as you stare into his eyes, silently begging for him to catch on to what you mean.

He does, and his mouth parts in surprise as your meaning finally hits him.

“Y/n.” He hedges, taking a step back towards you. “You-” he stops himself, unsure and afraid of reading the situation wrong.

“I miss you so much when you’re gone, Jake.” You admit, pulling him even closer to you. “Want something of yours to keep with me when you leave.”

Jake groans, dropping his hand downwards to palm his hard cock.

“Fuck, are you sure?” He sounds fucking wrecked – voice broken in a way you haven’t heard it before.

“Very.” You assure him, biting your lip as you glance up at him. “I’ve been thinking about it since you left. I want it so bad, Jake.”

“I need to hear you say it, Y/n.” His eyes are dark as he watches you, chest heaving as the weight of your words seem to finally sink in.

“Jake,” you start, willing him to see just how serious you are. “I want you to fill me up. Put a baby in me. Please, Jake.”

He moans loudly and he looks almost pained as you speak. Without hesitation, he practically rips the button of his jeans open before shoving them downwards, yanking his boxers down with them. His cock springs free, slapping his stomach and weeping with precum. You’ve never seen him so hard before – the velvety skin shiny and red. You spread your legs and scoot backwards, pressing your back into the arm of the sofa. He all but collapses onto the sofa between your legs and a fresh wave of slick gushes from you as you see the slight tremble of his shoulders. He’s fucking shaking.

“Say it again.” He demands, grabbing his length and sliding his tip through your folds, gathering your wetness and spreading it over himself.

“Put a baby in me, Jake. Fill me up. I want it so bad.”

“Fuck.” He whines – an honest to god whine, before he plunges into you.

You let out a loud wail as he finally enters you, stretching you deliciously.

“I missed your cock so much!” You cut yourself off with another moan. You reach upwards and hook your hands behind his shoulders to pull him into you, capturing his lips with yours as he pounds into you.

“Fuck, baby.” His voice is deeper than it ever has been before and it cracks slightly on the last word. “You wanna know what I think about when I’m up there on stage?”

You nod, dropping your head backwards and wrapping your legs around him to pull him in deeper.

“God.” He starts, moaning loudly before continuing on breathlessly. “I think about you. Every fucking time.” He grabs your ankle and tosses it up over his shoulder, making his cock sink even deeper into you. “I imagine you like this. Beneath me. I get so worked up just thinking about it. Like I could just fucking explode right up there on stage."

“Jake.” You whine, but there’s nothing to follow it up with. It’s like you’re in a fog, aware of nothing beyond the man on top of you and the delicious feeling of his cock pounding into you so fucking deep.

“It gets me so hard, angel. So hard it hurts. All those people screaming my name but it’s you that I’m thinking about.”

"Is that why you hump your poor guitar?" You manage to stutter out breathlessly.

Jake chuckles and nods his head.

"Can't fucking help it "

You lean upwards and kiss him again, biting his bottom lip between your teeth. Your brain can’t seem to create words anymore and all coherent thought has long since flown out the window.

Jake groans into the kiss before dropping his chin to press his forehead into yours. His hips snap into you at a bruising pace and you know that you’ll be sore tomorrow.

“M’gonna cum, Jake." You warn through clenched teeth. "Fuck I’m cumming!” Your climax is sharp – slicing through you with reckless abandon as Jake keeps fucking you through it. Your entire body trembles and the wet sound of Jake’s length slamming in and out of you is fucking obscene.

Roughly, Jake grabs your waist and turns you over and your hands scramble to try and catch yourself from face planting into the arm of the sofa. Grabbing your hips in both hands, Jake pulls you back into him to meet each thrust. The room is filled with nothing but the sound of his skin hitting yours and the moans and whines spilling from the both of you

“Oh my god. Oh my god, Jake. Fuck!” You practically scream. “Right fucking there!”

“You’re mine, angel.” He growls into your ear. “Gonna fill you up. Get you fucking pregnant. Show everyone that you belong to me.”

“Fill me up, Jake. Sir, please.” The ‘sir’ slips out of you on instinct, and you can feel Jake starting to lose his control. He’s fucking you harder than he ever has – his movements practically feral.

“God, the fans...” He starts, reaching his right hand up to tangle in your hair and pull – causing you to arch backwards into him. “They’re gonna fucking lose it seeing you all big and round with MY baby. Jesus.”

“I want it so bad, Jake. Knock me up! Please!” Your words are starting to slur together and you can feel it as your body starts to tremble and shake. It feels like your nerve endings are on fire.

“You’re gonna be so fucking sexy when you’re pregnant, Y/n.” He growls, his pace beginning to falter. “Fuck, I’m gonna cum.”

“Give it to me, Jake.” You beg, tossing your head back with a moan as he reaches his hand around you to circle your clit.

“Gonna give it to you, angel. Get you fucking fat and pregnant. Fuck!”

A high pitch moan escapes you as you cum again, and the feeling of your walls clenching around his length has him spilling into you.

He groans loudly as he finishes – louder than you’ve ever heard him as he rocks his hips into you, making sure to get every last drop of his release deep inside of you.

Finally, he collapses into you – utterly spent. You both lay there in silence, the sweat covering both of you causing your skin to stick together, though both of you are too tired to care.

Eventually, he pulls out of you, hissing as he goes. You roll over onto your back, taking in the fucked out expression on his face.

“Hi.” You say, grinning up at him.

“Hi, baby.” His smile back to you is soft and his eyes practically glitter as they look at you. “Think it worked?”

You giggle softly.

“I hope so. If not, we’ll just have to try again.”

“We should probably just go ahead and try again tomorrow anyway. Just to be safe.”

That draws a real laugh out of you, and he leans down to press a sweet kiss to your lips.

“Y/n.” He says suddenly, pulling away from the kiss with wide eyes. “I’ve just realized something.”

“What?” You ask, taken aback by his abruptness.

“Your boobs are gonna get so big.” He says with a wolfish grin, and you sigh at him dramatically.

“Jacob Thomas Kiszka, you are a menace.”

So, i finally got around to watching the final two episodes of Agatha All Along for a second time (and this time on tv screen and not bleary eyed on my phone in the middle of the night). In terms of where the story line went, I pretty much expected it and had long since excepted Agatha was going to die and become a ghost like in the comics.

Was I super impressed by the two episodes? No. Episode 9 wasn't a bad episode in itself but it was a strange season finale. It felt underwhelming after the drama of the episode before. Episode 8 had a lot of good stuff but it felt disorganised and chaotic. I think it really contrasted against last weeks Episode 7, which brought a lot of threads together very intellugently and fluidly. Instead, so much was thrown into a short time in episode 8 that the threads of storyline just kind of touched base in the episode without truly intertwining. I think the episode probably needed to be ten minutes longer to fit everything in more comfortably.

Was it a terrible ending? No. I am happy with were it left off. Its a neat place to go from Agatha All Along to 'Wiccan' or whatever they chose to call the next series.

I know a lot of people are hoping for a season 2 of Agatha All Along but its not going to happen. Like Wandavision led directly to this series, this series was always leading to Wiccan. Not to worry though as, like Billy was the other main character in this series, Agatha is going to have a key role in his. It will no doubt be Jac Schaeffer again and this will allow time to explore more of Agatha's backstory. I will eat my hat if Rio isnt involved somehow in that series, especially as death will still be a theme. I also did really enjoy Billy's story and cant wait to see were it goes.

What they decide to do with Agatha at the end of that season will depend on if the MCU has further plans for her. If they do, then somehow she will come back to life (as she does in the comics). If they dont have plans, then the option is there to finally lay her to rest with her son, reconciled with her own past. You have to feel that in either of those options, Rio has a role to play.

Finally, although I love a redemption story as much as the next person, i am glad they didn't completely go down that line with Agatha. Yes she has some redeeming qualities but on the whole she is a pretty terrible person. She is selfish and cruel. She is a murderer and con woman. She made her own child complicit in those murders. Yes, I get she wanted to keep him alive, but that absolutely does not make her actions right. She is emotionally manipulative...i mean so manipulative she pretty much emotionally abuses and uses the literal embodiment of death. I dont think you have to ignore all that and even try to make excuses for her to still love the character.

I have to say though, if I was playing Alice's 'kiss, kill, marry' game with the last three women standing (i use the word standing with Agatha very loosely), I would be killing Agatha all over again. You couldnt trust her as far as you could throw her 🤣

So, I would just like to finish by saying thank you to Jac Schaeffer, her team and the cast for a great show and the amount of amazing queer representation. Also, huge shout out to the fans who have made so much content (fics, videos, gif sets, artwork, commentary etc). You have made this wild ride even better X

❤ TF ONE STORY TIME! ❤

youtube

I had a very similar experience like what Comodin described around 7:49...

To preface my story, I have seen Transformers One 5 times in the cinema now. Unfortunately, Thursday was my last time going to see it because I need to save my money. However, I encourage EVERYONE to PLEASE GO AND WATCH THIS MOVIE! GIVE IT YOUR MONEY, YOUR LOVE, YOUR SOUL!

It really needs everyone's attention and love! Even to those who AREN'T Transformers fans, I implore you to see it!

Anyways, onto my story...

About a week and a half ago I had gone to see Transformers for the third time. I had convinced my mom to drop me off at the local theater to let me see it again. I had been sitting in the car and told her how much passion I have for the film, not just as a Transformers fan, but also someone who is shooting to go into Animation. This is the kinda stuff I wanna do, and I want to support it in any way I can.

So, I get into the theater and because it was a spontaneous thing, I had about 45+ minutes to kill before the film would start. I stood around the front of the theater drinking my coffee and talking with the bag checker who is also a massive transformers fan. He knew exactly what I was planning on seeing just from me mentioning the showtime. I decided to shoot the shit with him until the showing.

He had told me that he and the staff had been asked many many questions about Joker 2, and they had been honest about its terrible reception. They had also been trying their DAMNDEST to get people to watch TF One instead. [Basically to support a... GOOD movie. Pfft!]

So, time goes on, and I keep chatting with him about how great this film is. 20 minutes before the movie was going to start, these two kids came inside and I hear them debating what movie they even wanted to watch... They stood beside me at the self-service ticket station and were going back and forth about the flashback showings as well as the recent releases. Well about 5 minutes pass and they hadn't made up their mind, and it sounded like they were about to settle on Hotel Transylvania 2 [Hahahaha, I wasn't gonna let that happen.]

I suggested Transformers One, and the two looked at each other and then back at me, clearly a little skeptical but they admitted to having considered it.

"We don't know much about Transformers."

Was the first thing they said, so I followed it up with a simple...

"You don't need to. This movie tells you everything you need to know."

Then they asked...

"Is it anything like Michael Bay? Is there a lot of action?"

So I tried to sum it up as best as I could.

"No. It's not like Bay... but has a good amount of action... It's also extremely funny and hits HARD. I promise."

That was all I could really say without revealing anything, but I implored that they give it a chance. Around that time was when I headed in. Much to my surprise, these kids did it! They took my suggestion!

At the end of the film, I had stayed for the after credits (cannot skip that man), and when I walked out into the lobby, I found the kids were still there. So I asked them what they thought.

I didn't expect their reactions... THEY LOVED IT, and they were MORE THAN HAPPY to express how much they loved that movie! They thanked me, and told me that they had apparently been waiting around/looking for me JUST to thank me for suggesting it to them!

I do not think anything has made me as happy as that has in the longest time. I felt AMAZING after that! I even proceeded to tell my mom when she picked me up, and she thought it was really sweet.

WELP! I hope you guys liked my story time!~ I actually have a story or two more to tell about TF One, maybe more because... WHOO this movie has literally just rocked my whole world! These past three weeks have been nothing but TF One on the brain, and I am loving every minute of it! Lemme know some of your guys' stories and experiences around/about the movie!~ I wanna hear what you guys have been up to and how yer all driving your families crazy talking about it nonstop! Ha! Anyways...

#transformers #tf one #tranformers one #story time #me talking #shadowfreak talks #transformers one #maccadams #maccadam #tf1 #tfone #tf #tf one 2024 #transformers one SLAPS dude #WATCH TF ONE PLZZZ!!!#Youtube

PPP Novel is out❣️

...just in time for the Lunar New Year Eve, Feb. 9th. 🎉

Noitamina Shop will hold Arata Shindo-kun's bday campaign and at the same time promotes the PPP novel sale 🥂🥳.

Have you already prepared dried persimmons? 🤗 You know, in ancient times people used to wind-hang outside Hoshigaki, thus the Japanese lantern shape we know about today were taken from. 📸 Google Images.

Quick Review:

During the premier of PPP movie before the Global launch, fans kept asking Dir. Shiotani about

The meaning of empty liquor bottle in Kogami's desk.

Why Kogami removed his jacket during his balcony scene

And his answer were simple. Kogami didn't know the difference of wearing it inside or outside. At first, I thought it was some kind of a funny little joke, or I didn't understand the words full well (I'm not a full-bred Japanese though I studied Nihonggo way back in grade school).

But if you read the PPP novel, you will realize Kogami isn't fully adjusted from his traumatic experiences as a mercenary overseas 🤧. So he doesn't feel how to act just as he used to when he's back.

And ofcourse, we all know he and Saiga only emptied the liquor after long hours of chatting and Tonami profiling.

2. It's interesting that the writing team have taken the pulse of the fans during the Q&A session, thus some points in PPP novel is what we might've expect after all 🤭.

3. Some may say it's nothing new. As it seems the writing team pretty much remain loyal to the movie summary. But if you read between the lines, you realize how it is a bit forgiving & fan-serving, compare to the movie itself 👍🏻.

4. The locations...last minute alterations... 😆😂.

5. And ofcourse the last time Akane spent with Saiga on his detention cell 😭. She literally blame herself for asking him to come to them on Dejima in MoFA's HQ to retrieve the Stronskaya Papers a day after. Which we all know ended tragically.

6. She pulls the trigger. She question the justice. Which quotes the same kind of line from PP3 novel when she's writing her thoughts down in an analogue typewriter. From that scene she thought of Kogami's action and how Sybil judged him for that.

But in PPP novel, no doubt she puts into consideration the life of Atsushi Shindo and how he was used as a pawn, only to be a master pawn who puppets the life of another pawn like what happened to Akira Ignatov.

Aswell as Akira Ignatov's sacrifice. He volunteered to be a puppet for the sake of the future generation. For the sake of his brother in particular 😢😓😓😢.

7. Frede-chan's holding back and being indecisive to keep the truth about the mission to Kogami. Is like keeping her phone number to her crush 😹🤭. Sure, she's just conscious how would Kou-chan would react since she knows Saiga and him are pretty close 😮‍💨.

8. The writing team did a pretty good job by staying true to their plot work. They know what they're doing. As if taken up some piece of advice from Gege Akutami 😅😂.

9. The last scene is pretty much heart-aching but well executed 😘🤌🏻❤️

10. The General was a medical AI but I wonder if the creator of Sybil also created that?... how about BiFrost? Oh hello, Season 4! We're waving at you ☺️😀!

11. Many hate Akane for trying to control Kogami, again?! Let me get this straight, SHE ISN'T CONTROLLING ANYONE!

There's a MASSIVE difference when he a.) first pulled the trigger against Makishima (out of revenge) and when he b.) pulls that against Tonami.

Akane knows it best.

a) She doesn't want him to be a person swallowed by revenge like Sasuke (Naruto).

b) She hopes Kogami is back for the better but instead he acted again with his animal instinct which indicates he can still be easily outplayed by emotions instead of not letting it get the human out of him.

Akane still looks up to Kogami. She knows he was labeled as a latent criminal by Sybil. But the way Kou acted is like proving to Sybil that their labeling of him as latent criminal was right. And if there's one thing Akane isn't fond of, that is proving Sybil right.

So it's not about Kogami. It's about her campaign against Sybil's false and unfair judgement! So don't mock her! 😖

Lastly, PPP novel is enjoyable because a lot of fans are exerting efforts to translate it to English for fans abroad. Kudos to you all❣️

Not everyone have the time, capacity and dedication you've spent. Including me, I'm not good in translation. So thank you. You are the heart of PSYCHO-PASS franchise global expansion ❤️🥰.

End of Review.

Okay, so that wasn't a quick one 😋 sorry about that. I just hope you guys have a wonderful day. Have fun and enjoy everything that you do!

🥰🤗

Meanwhile, the original crew of PP1 are in their podcast discussing how the series have been progressing so far 😋😂

Nah! It's just a trace sketch of CD Discussion Vol. 1

🤣🤣🤣

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - Sky Breaker: WARNING: SPOILERS!!!

1. Getting to run alongside the Zakru on Pa'li was the bomb. My GOD! THEY ARE MASSIVE!!

2. My son has made friends 💙 he's even hanging with Nopsi (a zakru!!!)

Nopsi loves him!!

3. My favourite old ladies are back!! (Love Nafiki calling Anufi darling!): side note, I ship it!

4. Ri'nela really coming into the Storyteller part of being Sarentu!

5. Mokasa's back. And he still has the balls to play victim here. Tried coming at Alma and throwing my mother's name in my face as if he wasn't the reason Alma even knew about them in the first place. Ugh! This bitch!

6. Oh don't mind me, just admiring my giant babies as I make them feel pretty💙

7. It's offical guys. Teylan is our little Anti-Gremlin 💙

(Dammit, no more photos!!)

8. The Games were so fun!! My favorite's the horseback archery challenge! And how does Eetu get to places so quickly!?!🤣

9. Teylan rode a pa'li. The both of them were terrified 😂 don't worry buddy, you'll get there!

10. The RDA are back, they seem to be taking special interest in Anufi and Alma. Guess they're not happy she's back in the driver seat as the Kame'tire's leader.

11. Was not expecting us to be knocked out for several days. Thankfully, it seems the core cast is okay. Mokasa is shooketh over Alma pulling him out of the rubble. Still a dick though.

12. They literally made a Valkyrie crash just to take out as many Na'vi as possible. Assholes.

The poor Zakru were either killed in the blast or fled in the chaos, Nesim is furious (rightfully so) and Harding's back.

13. Anufi and Alma have been kidnapped and Teylan confirmed that the brainscap machine could give someone brain damage and kill em, basically meaning that Spider could have literally died hadn't Quaritch pulled him out.

14. Was freaking out so bad during the NeroSect bit that I only got Alma out by 20 secs. And Harding was drowning Anufi in oxygen!?! WTF!!!

Also, Mokasa came in clutch, saving us at the last minute! But he got shot. Yikes.

15. Okay, maybe I get why people felt Harding's death was lackluster, but it certainly wasn't easy, so I don't know what people were talking about there.

But maybe just a cutscene of her crawling toward us with a pistol to give us that final farewell would be notch.

16. Mokasa finally takes responsibility for his actions toward the Sarentu and the Kame'tire and even has a moment of understanding with Alma. He rests with Eywa now.

17. It's over now. All those that remained of TAP are gone, so all that's left is the Secret of the Spires, DLC. And it makes me wonder who that have planned for the big bad. Surely Nor is gonna make a return, but I doubt he is gonna be the bad guy.

Pros; loved everything.

The new legendary tier weapons and gear, the development of the characters (my baby boy Teylan has grown so much) the colours of the Heartlands animals was stunning (pa'li could have been better) and the upgrade skills bonus was a clever way to spend the points you keep racking up (though that stops when you spend a final 5 points every skill bubble)

Cons; Glitches

There were a lot more glitches this time around. First, one of the Contributions Baskets isn't working and it's ironically the main camp one. I've given it like 20 seeds already and still nothing.

And then there was a tremor machine that was freaking out one of the runaway Zakru, but when I went to hack it to turn it off, nothing happened? Only when I blew it up with a grenade arrow did it work. Or maybe that was just me being a stup 😋

Either way, I loved everything about this DLC, glitches aside and it was a good addition to the Sarentu story and I can't wait to see what happens next.

And I'm almost finished with my Sarentu OC, so stay tuned for that. Buh-bye!!

Ok it’s 2 am right now and instead of trying to sleep I’ve been thinking about how I feel about Usopp post time-skip and his character progression cuz I see a bunch of people have problems with it but I honestly like it. I just want to put my thoughts into the ring

So, most of my thoughts about him base on my own generalized anxiety disorder and how I’ve coped with it. I don’t think people consider that people with anxiety issues will struggle with it for life. It makes sense to me that Usopp continues to have moments where he runs away from the problem at hand despite his personal growth over the time-skip.

Usopp’s character growth isn’t about never running away or being “strong”. It’s about being brave, doing things despite how scary they are. It’s about him becoming more confident in himself and realizing he has a place on the crew.

People probably don’t think that Usopp changes much after time-skip because hasn’t he always been doing this? Well, yeah he has but the difference here is how he copes with the things that scare him. He does that better, and he doesn’t need to use a fake persona like in the past. He can be himself now.

I think the best example is in Dressrosa because of how much time he gets in the spotlight there. The first time he faces Sugar he runs away, but he’s a lot faster to realize he can’t do that than in the past. He accepts the challenge without the use of his Sogeking persona (which is a HUGE step). He gets it done and when it’s time to face her again he isn’t afraid at all. He’s being hunted down by a giant mob and yet he has his eyes on the prize.

The significance to me lies in my own experience. My flight response is so overwhelming that it’s impossible for me to think clearly at first. I’ve only started being able to calm myself down in 10 minutes versus the hours it used to take.

I get like this over things like writing a paper. Usopp gets like that over fighting for his life. I think that makes his actions pretty reasonable. It’s hard for me to exactly put it into words, but the growth for him lies in being able to get focused and stay focused after that initial flight response. I hope that makes sense to other people that aren’t me.

One last thought that’s semi-related. The scene in Wano that everyone likes to shit on Usopp for. Can we stop and think for half a second and realize that he would be acting just like Nami was if he was in her place.

There’s a list of priorities for Usopp when he’s in trouble that’s different for when others are in trouble. It’s something he shares with a lot of other members of the crew. If he’s in trouble in a situation where people are dissing Luffy, he will make up a whole speech on why they’re wrong about him. If another crew member is in trouble, their safety comes first. We’ve literally seen this happen before, why are people freaking out about it?

Plus, it’s not as if Luffy would get mad at him for it. His crew’s lives are more important than his pride. That’s been a thing all the way back since drum island with Vivi telling him to stand down for Nami’s sake. He’s learned that lesson as a captain. So it would make no sense for it to be a problem when Usopp does it. Especially since Luffy’s gained such a deep understanding of Usopp and how his mind operates after Water 7.

Ok rant over. I’m sorry if this is kind of incoherent, I’ve got a lot to say and don’t always know the best way to explain it. I’d be happy to know if other people have thought about this stuff too. Thank you for listening Usopp nation.

just logging back in to be annoying for a second :]

genuinely i have no clue what is going on in that building. seunghan…going solo? you’re fucking lying dude. i will never ever understand how sm comes to the conclusions that they do because on what planet is this a good idea? besides it being painfully obvious that this is a last minute decision (those new photos of him were literally meant to be part of the seasons greetings you can’t tell me otherwise)…where is the apology to seunghan? where is the legal action against the people who sent the funeral wreaths? hello? i also don’t understand why they’d announce his solo debut so many months in advance. the second half of 2025? brother it’s november. seunghan is so talented and could absolutely make it as a soloist but where is his statement that it was his decision to take this step instead of go back to riize. everyone knows he was bullied out of that group. he trained WITH the intention of going back to riize during his entire hiatus, was finally brought back, and then left completely alone while he was harassed and tormented by, mind you, a very small group of people that absolutely should not have overshadowed the love of the 7 trillion other people who were celebrating having him back. sm let it all happen cause they knew the “only option” would be to have him leave. people were rightfully pissed and started boycotting, it actually hurt sm where it mattered (money and stats), they got scared and scrambled to find a “solution” and pulled this shit straight out of their ass. and we’re supposed to do what exactly… be happy? is everyone forgetting wonbin’s post and how he mentioned that all the members thought long and hard about seunghan’s return and that in the end, they wanted him back in the group cause that’s where he belonged? like you’ve gotta be kidding me right now. people saw those new photos of him and completely lost the plot. do you really think sm is gonna protect him as a soloist when A) they couldn’t even protect him as a newly debuted artist IN A GROUP and B) they couldn’t even take the right preventive measures to stop the hate against him and stand on fucking business? you’re lying to yourself and everyone else!!! they don’t care about him and they’ve shown it countless times. this is an awful decision. unless i hear it from seunghan himself that this was his choice, i’m continuing to boycott riize. sm has 30 fucking minutes

#like im truly so confused #maybe this is controversial but at this point i don’t care #im pissed at sm #and im pissed at people all of a sudden GIVING UP and just being like #oh well this is the best we’re gonna get!#…..GET OUTTA HEREEEEEE #i will 100% support him in his solo i will NOT be boycotting it if it’s truly what he wants to do #and if he really wants to be a soloist #yes kinghan ill be at the front lines cheering you on #but i just need to hear it from him and NOT the evil company that put him through actual hell #anyways #yeah #rii7e #riize #seunghan

Your Words I Hold Forever Ch. 2

December 19th, 1968 7:20pm

Fez sighed heavily as he peered down at his hands... probably permanently dirty and blistered now. He assessed his handy work thus far, and frowned. The hole wasn't deep enough - no yet. But, it was getting late, and the camp was fairly quiet except for the hushed voices coming from his platoon mates.

He needed a break.

Five minutes. He would get a quick drink of water and sit for just five minutes...then he would get back to it. And hopefully Ethan would show up soon.

Ethan was supposed to be holed up with him for the night (helping dig the fox hole too he thought annoyed) but he hadn't shown up yet.

Where the hell was he?

Fez let out a sigh, figuring he'd show up eventually, and set the short-handel shovel against the wall of the hole next to his rifle with a 'thunk'. He grabbed his canteen and took a long drink, recapped it, and situated himself on the ground. The unusually cool clay felt nice against his back as leaned against it, like an ice pack on his skin.

He set the canteen next to his outstretched legs and his fingers instinctually grabbed at the side of his thigh where there was a large pocket...felt the small notebook there and closed his eyes.

He would finish the letter later...in the morning perhaps, if time allowed. He would let her know he was thinking of her...always. He would let her know he was okay and that things had been calm, peaceful almost.

Nothing like what happened two months ago with Nate, Mackay...and the Vietnamese girl. And certainly nothing like what happened to Nickle...and the attack on that village south of Hol An.

He just wanted to be home, home with his family...home with Lexi.

Fez wondered how Lexi was getting along now...so close to the due date. She had mentioned being tired and sore, and complaining of swollen ankles in the last letter he had received. But she seemed happy and the baby was doing great, and growing...a lot.

It was a trip to think that in just six or seven weeks he and Lexi would be parents. He wasn't sure if he would ever get used to the idea. It still didn't feel real to him. Maybe because he wasn't there with Lexi to experience everything, all the little milestones, like most soon to be fathers.

But he had the letters Lexi would send and he considered that good as gold. He memorized the little details she would share...

Baby has fingernails. Baby's heart kinda sounds like galloping horses. Linea nigra is a vertical dark line that appears on your belly. Baby is literally able to do summersaults. Baby is 17 1/2 inches long, and 6.8 pounds, they're going to be chunky. Baby's kidneys are fully developed now. Apparently, carrying low and sideways means Baby is a boy more than likely, but that information comes from both Kitty and mom - more than likely that's not accurate.

He was thankful Suze had calmed down and was trying to be supportive...had even begun to back off the drinking and found a new jones for painting. And, according to Lexi, was currently in the midst of creating a mural for the nursery.

He hoped he would get to see it.

"Hey O'Neil!" Someone whispered from above him, bringing him out of his thoughts. "Man you got any extra -"

Fez barely had enough time to look up before a loud stream of pops assaulted his ears and he felt something wet spray against the left side of his face and chest. His heart sprung from his chest and lodged in his stomach.

He was on his feet in an instant, bounding up off the ground just in time as the kid...Hardy...he thought that had been his name...fell into the hole. Almost on top of him.

The kids left eye was completely blown out and there was a second hole just below that, nothing but a crater of mangled red meat, bone and teeth.

Fez grabbed his rifle and leapt out of the fox hole, just as a grenade set off on the other side of the camp...then another...closer this time. Once he reached the top of the hole he whirled the m16 quickly into the shooting position and clicked the safety off.

Chaos broke out.

There was nothing but noise and shouting around him now. He could see what looked like thousands of fireflies wizzing by in quick single line successions. First from the south side of the camp, then another a mere two hundred yards to his left.

Fuck! Where was he supposed to aim?

With the approaching dark, and now the smoke from the grenades and m16 rounds shrouding the edge of the surrounding forest in a thick fog, he couldn't make out shit.

He could see only a handful of his platoon mates, rushing to get to the safety of their fox holes. He saw more trying to hide behind and underneath the few M-113 APC vehicles parked at the camp.

Something whizzed past his head causing him to duck down in a kneeling position.

"Fez! Get down!" He looked over to see three of his platoon mates in a fox hole about sixty feet from him. One of them was frantically pointing to his right towards the west side of the camp. "VC to the west! Shoot damnit - shoot -" another explosion ripped through the ground just as Fez turned his head to look where the guy had been pointing.

The sound was deafening and there was a shrill ringing in Fez's ears. The smell of sulfur nearly choked him. When he looked back, the fox hole was now a large crater and enveloped in swirls of smoke.

Fez's turned to head back to his own fox hole, towards safety, when something hit him in the chest...then in the stomach. Another hard thud to his left shoulder sent him spinning and he fell backwards into the fox hole, landing on his side.

He let out a loud gasp and pain exploded within his chest as his body slumped, rolling him onto his stomach, and he tried to catch his breath. He tried to free the arm pinned beneath him, but he couldn't move.

He took another breath in...more pain, this time followed by a distinct squelching rattle as he exhaled.

Oh fuck...

He could still hear the chaos unfolding above him but with dred he noticed the noise was less distinguishable now.

Fuck! Not like this...

Fez had once told Lexi he believed in God...not now...not in this place, but if he was about to meet 'him' he prayed the big guy would take him soon. He prayed he would keep Lexi safe and give her strength.

He didn't want to leave her like this...but...

A rage suddenly boiled inside of Fez. Fuck the big guy...why did it have to end like this...His eyes stung as the tears began to form.

He could feel warmth and wetness spread beneath him. He was bleeding out. A tear slipped out of the corner of his eye, leaving a wavy streak down the strong bridge of his nose.

He thought back to how pissed Lexi had been when he had finally got the courage to tell her he was being shipped out to Nam. All the things he had said...promises he had made. What fucking good were they now...

He always figured he would get fucked over considering his line of work back in Cali. He hadn't been lying when he said everybody eventually had to pay for all the wrong they did...but not her.

He didn't figure she would be punished as well.

Or maybe Lexi and the baby were his punishment. Giving him hope of having something he desperately wanted...then taking it away.

But they didn't need to suffer along with him.

Fez felt heavy now, like his body was weighed down and fused with the dark red earth beneath him. He felt sleepy almost...maybe that wasn't quite the right word. But he couldn't keep his eyes open. He blinked rapidly but it didn't help.

The gunfire, explosions...the shouting sounded even more distant now, like how he would hear it when he had been a newbie stationed in Tien-sha...it sounded miles away. He could still feel the ground shake though, followed by a shower of dirt.

He just needed to close his eyes...

The night he and Lexi met flashed in his mind. The classy outfit, red lips and the most beautiful doe eyes.

He had felt grimmy wanting her, such an obviously good girl...she would never feel the same Fez had told himself but like with most things in his life he felt sure about, he had been wrong...so wonderfully wrong.

The ground shook again, a spray of dirt from the opposite side this time hit him, covering his face.

It was a warm evening, in his grandmother's living room, the music playing softly. Giving her a twirl as they danced.

Their first night together...tears and nervous touches...soft skin beneath his fingertips. Cinnamon colored hair splayed across his pillow...the soft delicious sounds she had made.

Fez slowly flexes his fingers again, moving them until he feels the notebook in his side leg pocket. He shudders...

It was still there. Tucked in between the pages was a photo of Lexi she had sent with her last letter. A grainy photo but beautiful. She was wearing a loose fitting dress and looking down at her lap, a soft smile gracing her lips. She was looking at her hands placed protectively over the growing swell there. Visible proof of the life growing within her...the life he had helped create.

Fez began praying out loud. He wasn't for sure if he was hearing the words he was speaking, but someone was going to fucking hear.

"Oh Lord thou art in heaven...bless them and keep them safe...keep them safe within the folds of your gracious arms...forgive me...forgive me..."

A sob slipped from his quivering lips.

" Oh Lord please forgive me...Lexi please...forgive..."

🕺 GREASE! STRAY KIDS SERIES

Chris part one | part two // Changbin // Jisung // Hyunjin // Seungmin // Minho // Felix // Jeongin

It’s been two days since you met Chris’ friends and still, you couldn’t help from fantasizing about a certain something that happened that night.

It was not a new habit for your boyfriend to be sprawled on your - or his, bed and smoke; you had to confess that you never thought about trying to smoke – let alone smoke weed, so why did the thought keep crossing your mind lately?

You breathed a dejected sigh, lifting your leg so that your inner thigh was pressed on Chris’ naked body, right under his navel. It was a cloudy spring day; the scent of blooming magnolia occasionally entered your bedroom, keeping company to the smell of sex that still lingered in your bedroom.

Chris was laying on his back and you were on your side, slightly lying on top of him with your head resting on his chest. Using your fingertips, you drew random patterns on your boyfriend’s torso, endless ideas alternated in your head. Unconsciously, you moved your leg, and a low chuckle interrupted your thoughts.

«Babygirl,» Chris’ husky and sleepy voice mumbled above you. «How can you be so eager? You just came, like, literally ten minutes ago.» he sighed, faking surprise while kissing your hair. «Twice.» he added as he moved just enough to whisper in your ear, sending shivers down your spine.

You furrowed your brows with a smile, the fact that as far as you were concerned, you would have sex with him 24/7 trapped on the tip of your tongue. However, you choose not to confess that, yet.

«I was wondering…» you lifted yourself on your elbow and placed your chin on the palm on your hand, still drawing patterns on his pale and toned chest. «… Can we smoke again, and… And then, have sex?» Chris’s eyes widened comically wide, and he quickly took your head in his hands, gently starting to move it left and right, up and down, looking for a an unknown spot on your face. The action made you giggle.

«What happened to you?» he smiled as he checked your face again. «Did Hyunjin swap bodies with you last night?» You laughed at his words, playfully hitting his shoulder. You kept looking at him expectantly, and as soon as he understood you were not joking around, he motioned for you to sit on the bed. You complied, sitting comfortably and crossing your legs, covering only the lower part of your body with the blanket you shared, watching Chris slightly stretch and reach for the nightstand.

Your eyes hungrily followed his body’s movements, from his biceps, to his torso, to his abs, all the way to the happy trail disappearing right under the white blanket – how could you be so hungry for him all the time?

Chris took the remaining of the joint he smoked earlier that afternoon along with the zippo lighter you gave him as a present. He sat mirroring your pose, so that you both sat facing each other cross legged, as Chris lit up the cigarette and inhaled briefly.

«You wanna try smoking it, or you want to do it like last night?» he asked, breathing out a small puff of smoke that almost instantly started to make you feel a little intoxicated.

As much as you enjoyed last night – Chris’ plump lips hovering over yours as he directly blowed smoke on you face, this time you wanted to try it. Your boyfriend nodded at your answer, some strand of his wavy blonde hair falling directly into his face, before handing you the cigarette.

«It’s your first time so take a small hit. Take a slow and deep breath, babygirl.» Chris gently instructed, and you meticulously followed his directions. «Take a small pause, hold it in and then exhale, slowly.» As white smoke started to surround the two of you, you could not help but slightly furrow your brows in slight distaste, your throat slightly burned but it was nothing you couldn’t get used to.

«I’m impressed,» Chris smiled, «Seungmin started coughing right away, the first time he tried to smoke.» You laughed quietly, repeating your actions another couple of times before handing the cigarette back to him.

Your eyes were focused on his plump lips closing around the filter as he inhaled, pushing some of the smoke back into the air as he removed the cigarette in order to hand it to you, once again, before blowing out a puff of smoke. You went on like this for few minutes, you started to gradually accommodate to the feeling of smoking and gradually growing intoxicated by it. You felt lightheaded and much more giggly than usual and surprisingly, you enjoyed it.

Balancing the joint between his lips, Chris reached out towards the ashtray neatly placed between your bodies and placed it on his side, far enough from your bodies and, with a firm move, he uncovered the both of you, before tapping his thigh using his fingertips. You widened your eyes in response, and Chris chuckled at you.

«Come on, babygirl. I won’t burn your hair.» he added, his voice much more raspy than before, as he extended a hand towards you. You complied, eagerly taking his hand and climbing on his lap. You felt him immediately: already half-hard and pressing right against your core. He slightly laid back, resting one hand on the mattress to balance his weight, carefully caressing your chin and paying attention not to burn your skin.

«You’ll forgive me, babygirl.» Chris whispered, leaning closer. His eyes shifting between your eyes, your lips, your chest and your eyes once again. «I’m not in the mood for foreplay, this time.»

“As if I’m not already wet enough” you thought, giggling to yourself, fully aware that Chris already noticed how aroused you already were, judging by the smirk plastered on his lips. He smoked again, and you inched closer to repeat the action he did last night.

He kept his hand in the air, the cigarette burning next to your bodies close enough for you to reach out and smoke directly from his hand but far enough not to burn either of you. The white puff of weed dispersed between your bodies, and you finally captured his lips in a silent answer you know he would understand, his lips immediately moving against your own. You were definitely intoxicated; the kiss felt much hotter and more intense than usual – and Chris was already a pretty intense lover on his own.

Chris’ lips sensually moulded against your own, he’d hum in approval anytime you’d softly bit his lower lips, and then he’d repeat the action just a little bit harsher, making you whimper in anticipation. You felt him grow hard under you, and the feeling of his twitching hardness mixed to the plump lips and soft moans he’d make were most definitely about to make you lose sanity. You shortly parted from his lips, noticing how Chris’ hooded eyes glanced towards the cigarette, tilting his head to give you a silent hint.

As soon as your lips closed around the filter of the cigarette, you felt Chris’ lips hungrily attach to your neck, nibbling and kissing your skin. You closed your eyes, gripping his hair and suppressing a moan as you felt his mouth travelling downwards, biting, kissing and licking his way towards your breasts. He teased your nipple with his tongue flat, and you unconsciously started to grind on him, slowly coating his length with your wetness. You quietly exhaled another white puff of smoke, throwing your head back to give him more room. Chris let you take full control this time, loving how you would direct his touches by the firm grip you had in his hair, whimpering a soft series of “Please, more” every now and then.

He parted from your body just enough to inhale the last breath of the cigarette before rolling its butt on the ashtray, pushing it further away from your bodies. You lift your head enough to look back at him, already missing his lips on your body, when he reached down with one hand to guide his length against your folds. Quickly, Chris moved both his hands under both your thighs, slightly widening them so that you would fully sink on his length without any further notice. You moaned at the unexpected action, your head falling on his shoulder due to feeling so full all of a sudden.

Nothing had changed but this time, he felt even hotter than he used to feel, you were hyperaware of the twitching hot length inside you, and Chris’ wet lips and warm hands all over you.

«So wet, babygirl.» Chris’ raspy voice moaned, licking a long stripe from your collarbone to your neck. «I can feel your wetness on my thighs,» his breath hitched, trying to hold back from pushing you into the mattress and restlessly pound into you. «You’re dripping, fuck. You-You’re amazing.» you blushed at his words, slightly feeling embarrassed on how you’ve been affected so quickly, and his hands tightly gripped your waist.

You shifted a bit, now completely used to Chris’ length inside of you. If you were being honest, you didn’t need to adjust to it since you had sex earlier before, but you loved having Chris’s hard length inside of you that you took advantage of any occasion you had just to feel him twitching inside your walls as he gradually grew restless by the fact that he couldn’t move, yet. You captured his lips once again and tentatively clenched tight around him. Chris held you even closer as your mouths absorbed one another’s breathy moans, his hand coming in contact with your ass with a loud slap.

«Don’t get too smart with me, now.» Chris mumbled, gripping your hair and forcing you to look at him. «Be a good girl, or I’ll take control.» you nodded, your mind slightly clouded by everything feeling so intense, and he let go of your hair, an affectionate smile back on his face seeing you submitting easily to him. You set up a slow pace, grinding on his hips when you started to feel your abdomen burn with the need to come dangerously approaching. You were determinated to make this last as much as you could, even if you knew that Chris would have been more than willing to repeat this anytime you asked.

Your boyfriend’s tongue explored your mouth, and you felt him slowly shift back in the position he was before, partially leaning back and balancing his weight on his hands. Chris followed the slow pace you set, occasionally thrusting upwards only to hear your whimpers getting louder and louder. You were moving on his length, balancing yourself on his shoulders and tightly clenching your core anytime you would get up, right before sinking back down. You loved hearing Chris moans and hisses of pleasure, and judging by the more and more frequent twitching of his length, he was probably as close as you were.

«Ride me, faster.» he demanded between kisses, his hot tongue licking your lower lip before biting on it. And you complied, gripping his shoulders a little bit tighter, your nails sinking in Chris’s skin as you knew he enjoyed. You were frantically bouncing on his length now, chasing both of your orgasms; Chris placed one of his hands on your hips, gradually tightening it as both your moans grew more frequent and louder right against each other’s mouths.

At this point, you were not even kissing anymore; your lips would hover against each other, sometimes interrupted by harsh nibbles.

«I’m so close, Chris-» you whined, and Chris’ hand lowered between your legs, using his index and middle finger to part your folds as if it would make him reach deeper spots into you, and your breath hitched due the new, unfamiliar stimulation. Chris’ pale fingers would lie flat on your core spreading your lips, and his thumb would rub directly against your clit, sending new waves of pleasure in your bodies.

«Me too. Come for me, babygirl. Come all over me.» Chris’ raspy and husky voice was probably everything you needed. You came repeating his name like a prayer, tightly clenched around his length and completely sinking down on it. Your orgasm triggered his, and you hungrily kissed him, absorbing his moans with your mouth as you felt his release coating your walls.

«I guess you enjoyed it, babygirl.» Chris smug and pleased expression welcomed you back from your post-orgasm state.

«I loved it.» you nodded, trying to steady your breath and running a hand through his blonde hair, now slightly damp with sweat. You took in your boyfriend appearance: plump reddish and clearly bitten lips, his flushed cheeks – a blush that reached all the way to his torso; he definitely was the definition of fucked up and honestly, you did not want to know how you were looking at the moment. You returned your lover’s soft gaze, the effect of the weed was gone for the both of you by now, and you reached out to peck Chris’ lips once again.

«We’re going to do this at least two more times before dinner.» you breathed against his lips.

Chris chuckled, «Are you sure you’re not a nymphomaniac or something?»

«As if you wouldn’t love it.» you scoffed, lifting up. You both quietly hissed from oversensitivity as Chris’ now soft member slit out of you, some of your mixed fluids creating a stripe connecting the both of you.

«Come on, babygirl, let’s go take a super-hot bath.» your boyfriend followed you out of the bed, taking your hand and leading you towards the bathroom.

«Oh yeah, the nymphomaniac was me, right? You… Hungry wolf!» You giggled, playfully flicking his shoulder as he turned on the water in the bathtub, laughing with you.

«I’m lucky you love me, then, babygirl.» he shrugged, with a wide and angelic smile, dimples on full display and smitten eyes meeting yours.

«Of course I love you, Channie.» you answered, returning the smile and softly kissing his forehead. You stood there, getting towels ready and kissing each other as you waited for the bathtub to fill up and take a warm bath together.

Note

Out of curiousity, do you have any tips for outlining and how to recover from burnout? 🫣🫣 I haven't been able to get words on a page for two months now.

hey anon!! I'm sorry to hear that.

unfortunately, I'm not the best person to ask about burnout, as I tend to try pushing through it and my current state of being (bad) tells me how well that's going for me lmfao. in response to that, my only things I can say is:

there might be a reason why you haven't been able to write for two months, and that's ok. sometimes the well runs dry and you have to wait for rain. two months is not very long and is not a personal failure.

when trying to get over burnout, i tend to pick something low-stakes, silly, and fun to begin with. either a sillier scene for a longer piece, or a piece that's disconnected from my other /serious/ projects. do something that doesn't feel like work.

As to outlining, I have a lot more advice there! so below the cut!

Outlining tips.

the way I outline my work is as follows:

I put all my big plotpoints in a document - the non-negotiables (e.g. in Pieces this was the soul jar, the nature of what ascendency is, the major character death, etc). these are the things that the story needs, to have internal consistency. if you don't have an end at this point, that's so totally fine, but it often helps if you do, because having an ending guarantees the most internal consistency of all.

I tend to outline the start first, and write to a point where I begin to get the tone of the story (in Pieces, this was up to Chapter 7, and the library, I think you can tell because there's a shift in action in this point), and then once I'm there I begin hammering down the specifics of the big plotpoints I mention above.

My outline is always literally bullet points. I start with bulletpoints of the story and its progression, and then as I begin to write in a chapter format, I might make smaller bullet points going beat by beat in a scene.

I try to give myself as much flexibility as possible, beyond the 'internal consistency' point. So while I may have bullet points for the story progression, I do not hammer down a chapter-by-chapter necessarily, because often as you are writing you find the natural breathing points/cliffhangers that will do that for you. If something ends up being longer, I am happy for it to become a chapter - same if conversation etc. that need to happen end up being too short to stand-alone.

Another type of flexibility is the ability to embellish and ad-lib. I typically outline in 'x happens' or "y talks to [side character]", or in lines of dialogue I want to include if I've been struck by inspiration. But the action is not necessarily determined (unless I've been struck down by visions) until I'm writing it. A classic was in Pieces I knew I need to have romance scenes in between plot happening, so I'd be like "something sexy happens" or "another confrontation here". Another example is I knew Orin was going to confront Astarion in an Honest Lie, and she had some goals (wanted to see if he was weak enough to be manipulated, etc.) but the holy water was added last minute when I realised I wanted more horror. Give yourself breathing room to embellish in the moment so you can have fun with it.

My final piece of advice is: know when and when not to stick to your outline! Pieces was my first popular fic as it updated, and a lot of the comments were positing things I wasn't doing. I kept to my outline then, because I knew that trying to change to please others would just fuck the story, bc the story had always been written with a certain ending in mind. So I just had to tunnel down, even if it made people unhappy - at least then, the ending wouldn't feel cheap.

BUT if you are having doubts or... if you're bored, which is the biggest writer killer, then maybe there's a way to spice up your outline. I know sometimes it's unavoidable (Iron throne, I'm looking at you), but try not to do the whole "I am writing to this one fun scene at the end"... you will probably get bored before you get there. Try to make every scene fun for you to write, if you can!!! Be silly with it, as well!

FIRST LINES ROUND-UP

Tagged by @fohatic--thank you for my life. Also WHAT is going on in Rich Man's Feast...that opening line has me both curious and scared.

Rules: List the first line(s) of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there’s a pattern!

Like Pavlov's Dog: This was where they were at.

Water to a Pig Slaughter-Day Morning: He'd just watched his dream get massacred.

Vorspiel: Steve was out of the mansion and in his Brooklyn nest for only one night before Tony Stark came poundin' at his door.

A Thousand Rainy Days Since We First Met: The best minutes of Steve's day are an imprecise scatter between 7:15 and 7:30am.

Darling, Darling, Stand By Me: The first time it happens, Tony's not even really aware of himself.

Since We've No Place to Go: Credit where credit's due—Steve doesn't hold a grudge during a crisis.

I'm Jealous of Your Neck (It Gets to Hold Your Head): Steve's burning to bits when Tony opens the door to his room.

Hyperballad: Tony walks up to him, plops down on the stool, and begins: (AN: I don't know if that counts as a sentence, exactly, but uh. Let's go with it!)

The More They Stay the Same: Bucky was meant to take Tony back to the station twenty-five minutes back.

The More Things Seem to Change: The guards had told him as much but something in Bucky still clenches with surprise at the sight of it.

What we've learned is that (a) my first lines are generally short, (b) I'm two-timing past and present tense, and (c) most of the time, my first line is the thought and/or context that precedes an action. Call this game hall of mirrors the way it's got me seeing myself all wonked out.

I'm tagging: @soliloquent-stark, @snoozingcat, @lazywriter7, @no-gorms, and literally anyone else who wants to give this a go. Just say I tagged you, I won't tell x

#Awwwwright.#fic game

so like we're all aware of the uh absolute disaster of arrests related to the coronation, right? with the police arresting people for seemingly no reason at best?

anyone want to hear a first hand account of one of them? yeah?

well, let me introduce you to the group who were arrested in the middle of a seminar that was entirely unrelated to the coronation who were arrested by the metropolitan police with a rather surreal tangent about vegan breakfasts.

[Alt Text:]

‘It was utterly surreal’: police accused of farcical error after 14 arrested at seminar on day of coronation

Primary teacher and ex-civil servant were among those attending class. Here they recount what happened

Daniel Boffey Chief reporter, Sun 21 May 2023

“I felt that they knew by the time they had taken us to the station in the van that they had the wrong people,” said Lauren, 26, a medical writer in the pharmaceutical industry.

The post-coronation wash-up over the last fortnight has been marked by an array of surreal stories of bungled arrests, from the republican activists swept up by police for possession of luggage straps to the pro-monarchy Australian architect who had been simply seeking to enjoy a pleasant day out at Westminster Abbey.

It has been notable that in each of those cases, after intense media attention, the Metropolitan police has since admitted some regret and announced that no further action would be taken.

The group, almost entirely female or non-binary, aged between their mid-20s and late 60s and largely new to activism, let alone its more extreme manifestations, were arrested on suspicion of being a Just Stop Oil cell intent on disrupting the crowning of Charles III.

In reality, they had gathered in a small nondescript room in a rented work space in east London for a seven-hour seminar about the theory, history and practice of non-violent protest after expressing an interest in the social activist group Animal Rising, largely via its website.

They were put in minivans outside the building, with eight of the group taken to Brixton police station in south London and six to Stoke Newington in north London. Hillwood was sat in the vehicle for hour and a half before disembarking in Brixton. There was a further 90-minute wait outside the station before being checked in at the custody desk.

It was 4pm by the time Hillwood was led to her cell. She asked for her solicitor and was served a vegan “all day breakfast”. “It was literally beans,” Hillwood said. A solicitor advised her to offer no comment to the officers’ questions.

But when it came to his turn, Jenkins felt no such compunction. “I said my intention was to sit in an all day training course learn about non-violent protests, meet some new people and avoid the coronation.”

The group were let out late in the evening on bail pending further investigation. Those arrested have since tried to piece together what may have happened. They learned that Just Stop Oil had previously used the building for meetings, along with many other organisations.

The police had mentioned some placards lying around in part of the building, and some paint unconnected to the training. The truth, said Caitlin, was that it was a horrible bungle. Animal Rising is planning a civil case for wrongful arrest and imprisonment. “I want the police to drop it,” said Caitlin. “I want my phone and my watch back and I want this wiped from the police database.”

The Metropolitan police has declined to comment.

full article here

so little tl/dr: the metropolitan police essentially raided a 7 hour seminar that was unrelated to the coronation, and arrested 14 people on suspicion of being part of just stop oil and held them for over six hours because uh, well theyd rented the same room as just stop oil did one time and there was some signs i guess.

(side note on just stop oil; ive read a lot of conflicting information about them as activists and i honestly dont know if they are a real activist group or if its astroturfing. if anyone more educated on them wants to elaborate, please do.)

they were arrested “on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance” because the police believed they intended to disrupt the coronation.

im not sure how they planned to do that since they were five miles away from it and in a seven-hour seminar, but who needs logistics or facts when you have a law that violates human rights.

theyre still being investigated now; the police still have caitlins phone; theyre out on fucking bail.

again, the police believe their part of just stop oil because they rented a room that anyone can rent and apparently they saw some signs and placards.

if you wrote "25 police officers mistakenly raid a seminar on non-violent protest as they believed them to be part of a conspiracy for renting a room" as satire, youd probably get the feedback or it being a little on the nose. but nope, this actually happened.

Foodfight! Workprint Analysis and Discussion (Part 1)

youtube

Hey everyone! So, just like I mentioned in my previous post, we're going to be covering the Foodfight! workprint from August 2005, which contains early animation, storyboards and more! I still can't get over how incredible this is- this is a rough cut of the ENTIRE movie, from start to end, and features a ton of footage from early on in production. Did you really think we'd EVER get to see this? Or that the rumored "stolen" version of the film was actually just 7 minutes of completed animation created to show investors, almost all of which would be included in a workprint cobbled together from storyboards, scratch track and badly Photoshopped renders? Cats and dogs living together (literally in the case of Sunshine and Dex), mass hysteria, anarchy! I never imagined the early footage would be found or that this was how it would happen, but here we are! So without further ado, let's go back in time to 2005, before Foodfight! became the disaster it's known as today...

The workprint opens in much the same way as the finished film, with Mr Leonard closing up his store and saying goodbye to the last customer of the night, only constantly switching between finished animation, concept art, and storyboards cobbled together using Photoshop. This is a common theme throughout the workprint and it's emblematic of the movie's chaotic production- it never really seems to settle on a specific style to use, and so instead just kinda goes for all of them at once. And for something solely for internal use that's fine (even if the Photoshopped boards would basically be useless for the actual animators), but apparently this was shown to INVESTORS. Imagine that! It's no wonder so many companies pulled out of the movie as it went on, and it's mindboggling that anyone thought this was professional enough to show off that way. With that being said, the completed animation as the supermarket comes to life is fantastic- it's not as groundbreaking as something like Toy Story was, but it has its own unique charm and style, reminiscent of classic Warner Bros cartoons.

It then goes to ACTUAL storyboards as we're introduced to Dex Dogtective, mascot for Cinnamon Sleuth Cereal, as he faces off against the dastardly Fat Cat Burglar. This becomes a trend throughout the workprint- whenever there's an action sequence or anything particularly heavy on movement, actual storyboards that show the camera angles, motion and expressions of each character are used. I guess maybe someone convinced Larry Kasanoff they needed them for these kind of scenes, but he still insisted they didn't need them for the rest of the movie?

This sequence is similar to how it is in the film, but there are a few key differences- instead of Fat Cat Burglar sending the Hairless Hamster Henchmen to fight Dex, with him distracting them using a piece of cheese, here Dex is surrounded by spidery Ikes and he fights them off using his martial arts skills. There are also numerous differences in dialogue but I'm not going word-by-word on this, I'd be writing for years if I listed every single change. (The same goes for the rest of the workprint- I'll only write about dialogue being different if it's particularly significant or noticeable) If I had to guess, the intense fight with the spidery Ikes was cut as it was too hard to do in motion capture, as in the novelization they've already been replaced by the Hairless Hamster Henchmen but it still mentions Dex fighting them off (This also makes it clear the workprint is based off an earlier draft of the script than the novelization, but that'll be made far clearer later on).

Dex saves a basket of kittens from the Fat Cat Burglar, and meets up with his best friend Daredevil Dan to talk about his plan for proposing to his girlfriend Sunshine. There's some missing dialogue here- in the movie (and even in a draft of the script from around the same time) Dex talks with a reporter called Hedda Shopper a little before going to see Dan, but here he just walks right up to him. There are a number of these odd cuts throughout the workprint and I have no idea why, but I feel the changes actually help it flow better as a whole and keep the dialogue from overstaying its welcome.

Obviously there are still quirks with the pacing as some of the boards haven't been timed properly to various shots yet, but it's overall shorter and more coherent than the finished film, clocking in at just over 65 minutes despite featuring scenes that were left out of the finished film (thus somehow paradoxically containing more story in less time). I attribute this a lot to sequences not being so horrendously drawn out- in the finished film the big fight against Brand X is stretched out ridiculously long, but here it's kept tighter and shorter. It's a huge improvement overall and you feel the ripples of it throughout the entirety of the workprint, so I thought I'd bring it up the first time it makes itself apparent.

It's also around this time we first hear the main characters speak and as this workprint was created before any of the cast had started recording, all the dialogue is scratch track taken from various crewmembers doing a script reading (you can hear them turning pages multiple times while talking). Even though this was obviously never intended to be the actual audio, I still prefer the voices here over the final cast. The voice actor for Dex in particular puts a lot more emotion into the role than Charlie Sheen did, and gives a much more convincing performance overall.

Dex sits outside for a romantic dinner with Sunshine and attempts to propose to her, and this sequence (like many others in the workprint) is depicted entirely through poorly Photoshopped 3D renders of the various characters and environments. Apparently this was at the request of Larry Kasanoff, who hated how traditional storyboards made everyone look like "stick figures" and insisted investors "wouldn't understand" them. This is obviously a completely insane thing to say, and shows just how little he knew about the process of animation. Storyboards aren't there to look pretty, they're a way for members of the team to visualize the elements of each shot and what'll happen in each scene. These Photoshopped boards do none of that, so they would've been practically useless to everyone on the crew except Larry, who in the depths of his ignorance somehow thought these looked good.

They ARE useful today however, because they provide a look at several earlier character models and how they looked earlier in production. Because of these bizarre boards, later on in the movie we even get to see a ton of models for the various real-world brand mascots, which we otherwise would never gotten the chance to see. I'll make a separate post about those however, so I can count up how many we see in the workprint compared to the finished film.

Just like in the movie, Sunshine goes missing, and six months later Mr Clipboard arrives at the store pushing Brand X products, much to Leonard's disapproval. However there's a bizarre line included here where Mr Clipboard refers to Leonard as "the last of the great grocers"... now what does that mean, seriously? A great grocer? Groceries do not make one great.

Mr Clipboard's voice is far more normal in this workprint as well, still sounding somewhat wacky but nowhere near the absolute chaos of Christopher Lloyd's portrayal. Given how the character is similarly subdued in the novelization, it's crazy how memorable he ended up being in the finished film. Christopher Lloyd's voice and GJ Echternkamp's motion capture worked together perfectly to elevate a relatively forgettable character into what quickly became the most memorable and enduring part of the movie, likely what most people first think of whenever they hear the name "Foodfight!".

Mr Clipboard stomps on a bag of Kaptain Krispy potato chips, and just as Krispy says "No-one wastes me chips and gets away with it", it cuts to what may LOOK like a plain white screen...but actually, if you look very carefully, you can just make out the text "HOLD for Mr Pringles line "Now Kaptain Krispy, you don't want to be sent back to anger management". I have no idea why this text is barely legible, but the same line is in also in the script, making it clear this was supposed to be Mr Pringles' role in the plot (most of the actual brand mascots only getting a line or two). You also see the character later on in the workprint fully modelled and flying on a giant Pringle like the Silver Surfer, but more on that when we get to it.

There's a brief scene of Mr Leonard worriedly looking at the new Brand X display before closing the supermarket for the night (which IS in the novelization but left out of the movie), before we cut to Dex having a nightmare about Sunshine's disappearance. This nightmare sequence is pretty similar to how it is in the finished film, save for Dex inexplicably seeing what looks like a Brand X soldier taking Sunshine away. Given at this point in the movie he doesn't even know Brand X exists and would have never seen them before...how exactly does this work? I guess it's that special type of nightmare you only see in movies, where they can inexplicably reveal things a character would otherwise have no way of knowing.

Dex wakes up from his nightmare and T-poses so hard he starts levitating in front of Dan, who for his part doesn't seem to be particularly fazed by this. Actually, I'm just kidding around- this scene is mostly the same as it is in the movie, with Dex blaming himself for Sunshine's disappearance and Dan telling him that he has the Copabanana club to run now.

We then go to a scene that isn't in the movie at all but we HAVE discussed previously, on account of it being in the novelization- Dex making his way to the club while being accosted by Hairy Hold, who explains he's been struggling as the head of the USDA (United Supermarket Defence Association) ever since Dex quit, and that he needs to stop blaming himself for Sunshine's disappearance. I really wish this scene had been in the movie since it adds some much-needed depth to the characters- here we see just how badly Dex has been affected by Sunshine's disappearance, as well as a proper introduction to Hairy's character, making it clear that despite being something of a wet blanket he occasionally stands up for himself (In that sense, he kinda reminds me of Antoine from the 90s Sonic The Hedgehog cartoon...or Bartleby from the other, less memorable 90s Sonic The Hedgehog cartoon).

youtube

Dex and Hairy's tense moment is interrupted by Dan, flying by with a Copabanana banner (try saying that five times fast) attached to the tail of his plane. And delightfully, this scene is FULLY ANIMATED! That's right, nearly two whole minutes of classic squash-and-stretch goodness. I've linked a video of the scene above so you can check it out for yourself, because damn if it's not satisying to watch. The actual content of the scene is similar to the finished movie ( only with less sexually charged jokes and the Keebler Elves instead of creepy gnomes) but visually the difference is night and day. Literally! This scene actually takes place at night whereas the finished film always looks like its perpetually mid-afternoon, despite the very premise of the movie being it's what happens in a supermarket at NIGHT.

Isn't it crazy to finally be able to watch a fully-animated scene in this style though? For those not in the know, only seven minutes of completed animation was actually made this way, part of a pitch reel to help sell the movie to investors. So there's only this and a handful of other fully-rendered scenes in the entire workprint (and that's all that ever existed- there's no more "lost movie" to be found, this is it) but looking at this on it's own you wouldn't know that, right? It feels like it's just a scene from an early 2000s animated movie in the vein of Hoodwinked or Jimmy Neutron, and it's impossible not to wish you could see the whole movie in this style.

Shortly afterwards, we get to see ANOTHER fully-animated scene, this time of Dex meeting local sleazebag Cheazel T. Weasel on his way to the club, saving Polar from having his pockets emptied by the schemer. As I'm sure is obvious from the picture above, Dex is a human in this scene instead of a dog. In case you're wondering why, at the time the aforementioned pitch reel was initially developed Dex was a human called "Dex Detective", with him being changed to a dog around 2002 due to the character not testing well with investors. However, it seems they never went back through the whole reel and changed him to a dog- there are a FEW shots where he's been replaced by a dog, possibly for a shorter version of the reel to show off the new version of the character, but there are an equal number of shots where he hasn't been replaced at all and is still a human. I'm honestly glad they made this change- human Dex just looks boring visually, and I feel it would've made the movie a little TOO similar to Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Dex deals with the Weasel and we're treated to yet ANOTHER fully-animated scene as he arrives at the Copabanana, constantly shifting between human and dog like some sort of store-brand Animorph (see what I meant earlier?). I have to say, the crowd shots here are INCREDIBLY impressive for the time- there are hundreds, if not thousands of extras surrounding the club, something that would've been insanely tough to render at the time this was made. Apparently there was a special software called "Q-Tip" they used to achieve this, and the results speak for themselves. It's incredible- these crowd shots are actually more impressive than the ones in the finished film, which was released over a decade later. The whole scene looks incredibly visually appealing, and the various characters in the crowd actually look like they could be mascots for grocery products. I'm a particular fan of the tuxedo-wearing ant holding a tommy gun, who the script tells me is called "Ant Acid".... get it, like antacid?

Dex adds Polar Penguin (from the earlier scene with Cheazel) to the VIP list so he can be let into the club, and you'll notice at some points here the bouncer Maximilius is instead a large blue dog. This character's name was Panzer Pup, being replaced by Maximilius Moose sometime after Dex was changed to a dog. If I had to guess why, I'd say that it was so they didn't have two main characters who were both anthropomorphic dogs. I mean come on, you can't have TWO dogs, that's anarchy, that's chaos!

Dex enters the club, and it's here we see a type of animation that isn't used anywhere else in the workprint- it seems to be incredibly rough blocking using low-poly versions of the character models, presumably to help visualize how the sequence would look when finished. I have no idea why this is the only time it's used but it does provide us with a look at the M&Ms, who at this point in production were still intended to be part of the movie. The Green M&M tells the Red M&M "my therapist says I'm suffering from peanut envy" and I've gotta admit I find this joke really really funny. The inherent ridiculousness of these candy mascots talking about going to therapy, the pun on the Freudian concept "penis envy", it's silly enough that it tickles me in just the right way. It's also fascinating to finally see the M&Ms' role in the plot- by the time the movie actually came out, they'd been replaced with a Roman gladiator who rants about how he's "so excited to get a table" before falling into a cow's anus and whining that he's "stuck in a butt and it's so disgusting". I mean...just... what? Even if you take issue with the "peanut envy" joke, I feel like you have to concede stumbling into a bovine rectal cavity is just as inappropriate.

As Dex takes a seat at the bar we cut to Daredevil Dan on the other side of Marketropolis, making his way to the Copabanana on a horse-drawn wagon. He attempts to backflip off the wagon, only to land flat on his face right in front of Lady X, the Brand X Detergent Ike. This is another scene that wasn't in the movie but WAS in the novelization, so it's great to finally see a visual representation of it. I wasn't too sure about this scene when reading about it, but seeing it onscreen I think it would've worked. It's clear Lady X is supposed to be entirely cast in shadow here, building up a sense of intrigue while still making her entrance at the Copabanana later an exciting introduction to the character. We also get a good look at the Brand X Detergent building here, with a huge washing machine on the front being very noticeable (the reason I bring this up is it becomes relevant later).

Dex is still sat at the bar mourning Sunshine, when we're treated to another fully-animated scene as Lady X makes her big entrance, with all the Ikes instantly falling head-over-heels for her. These scenes really are incredibly well-crafted- I can't stop going back and admiring all the little details, like Lady X's pupils dilating in the light, or the reflections on the floor. Regardless of how you feel about the quality of the early animation (personally I think it looks great), you can tell a lot of care was put into it. And you know what? I'm not afraid to say it, Lady X looks gorgeous rendered like this, I wish I had boobs like hers. Unfortunately this is the last of the fully-rendered scenes for a while, as the majority of the pitch reel consisted of scenes from very early on in the movie.

Lady X introduces herself to Dex and the two start flirting in a scene mostly identical to the finished film, before Dan barges in calling himself her "sugar daddy". Kaptain Krispy interrupts all three of them to point out there's something dirty about Brand X on account of Mr Clipboard stomping one of his bags earlier, which provokes Dan into starting a bar fight. Since this is an action sequence, we're once again treated to some actual storyboards and I have to say these are my favorite part of the workprint ,second only to the animation itself. The photoshopped boards don't really tell you a whole lot about how various sequences were supposed to look, and since they use the same few images every time there's not much visual variety to them. However, with actual storyboards we can understand exactly how every shot would have played out...which of course, is the entire point of having storyboards to begin with (don't tell Larry).

I mean, look how dynamic this is and how it instantly tells you everything about the scene- from each characters' emotions, to the movements they're supposed to be making to how they're going to be posed, it really does a great job at showing how good this bar fight could've looked if not for Larry Kasanoff's meddling.

Dex quickly puts an end to the fight and tells everyone to get out of his club- and once again there's a scene here that wasn't in the movie but was in the novelization, where Dan is about to be thrown out of the Copabanana as well. Dex tells Maximilius to let him stay, but isn't quite sure what to do about Lady X.

Dex heads back to his office and after an INCREDIBLY brief animated shot of the doorway, Lady X arrives in an attempt to seduce him into joining Brand X. This scene mostly goes down the same as it does in the finished film, only just like the novelization Lady X is still in her red dress here- in the movie she's wearing a "sexy" schoolgirl outfit, which not only is it inappropriate considering this was supposed to be for children, it also doesn't even make a lick of sense. Apparently this change was made at the request of Larry Kasanoff (surprise surprise!) and "nobody liked" having to do this, but he insisted. So in case you haven't already put two and two together and figured out Larry likely did this so he could whack off to the scene, I'm putting that mental image into your head now and it'll never go away. Gross, isn't it? And I know I've said it before, but this scene (and the workprint as a whole) is acted far better than the movie was. I guess part of it is that the scratch track was done with crewmembers all reading the script together in the same room, allowing them to play off each other's performances, whereas the actual cast would've all recorded separately. Even taking that into consideration however, I think the voices for Dex and Lady X are a far better fit than Charlie Sheen and Eva Longoria were. For some reason, they just seem to suit the characters better.

Dex hears screaming outside and so after a very cinematic shot of Lady X watching him from the window as he runs toward the source of the noise, he makes his way to a crime scene- every Ike thrown out of the club earlier found dead, with the exception of Dan who's mysteriously gone missing. Dex surmises that someone tried to make it look like this was all a continuation of the bar fight, but that they were actually rubbed out by an outside force. In some dialogue that once again wasn't in the movie but was in the novelization, Hairy explains something similar happened with Sunshine, but quiets down as soon as he's about to mention that her body was never found. In addition, much like the novelization there's an actual crowd surrounding the scene, whereas in the movie it's just the principal characters standing out on the street by themselves. Basically EVERYTHING, every additional scene or line of dialogue initially thought exclusive to the novelization is included in this workprint, which points to a lot of these changes being made made very late on in production (as the novelization would've been written after this workprint was made and yet they're still included). And all of these changes make the workprint vastly more enjoyable to watch too- from added character depth, to more appropriate jokes, to just straight up making more sense.

During the day, we see customers going crazy for Brand X products and buying up all their stock, with the huge Brand X Detergent display and its accompanying washing machine looming behind. This scene wasn't in the finished film, but once again it WAS in the novelization- and on top of that, it was also in the Deluxe Sound Storybook we talked about a few posts ago. So really, it's in every version of Foodfight! except the actual movie...crazy, right? Dex watches on from inside his Cinnamon Sleuth box, concerned enough about the whereabouts of Dan to jump back into action. And I know I said this back when I covered the novelization, but I think it's a cool idea that from within their products the Ikes are still able to witness everything that happens in the store during the day- the only hint of this we get in the finished film is Kaptain Krispy making a comment on his chips being stomped as soon as it happens, but since the rules of the Marketropolis aren't so clearly defined in the movie that could easily be mistaken as voiceover.

Meanwhile in the supermarket's deli case the USDA are holding a meeting about the deaths of the various Ikes, and since the bar fight that started it all was between sugar and salt icons, it's being ascribed to a bittersweet flavor of bigotry-motivated violence. It's here we're treated to a number of cameos from real-world brand mascots- as I mentioned before however, I'll explain all the brand mascots shown here in a separate post. As head of the USDA, Hairy Hold decides to Brand X put in charge of the store, with some Ikes protesting the change and others in full support.

We then return once again to actual storyboards (hooray!) as Lieutenant X, one of the Brand X cronies, coerces Cheazel into bringing Dex to them. This isn't an action scene, but I'm guessing it got proper storyboards anyway because the way Cheazel moves is very specific and detailed, something that would be impossible to depict with Photoshopped 3D renders. These particular boards are also drawn in a different, much more detailed style than the other storyboards, although I couldn't possibly say why (possibly due to Cheazel being Larry Kasanoff's favorite character?)

In the finished film, this scene takes place atop a building, but here (and in all other versions of the story) it takes place in the Italian food aisle, modeled after the streets of Venice. The voices are very different here too- unlike the earlier Cheazel clip and the movie itself, where he was voiced by Larry Kasanoff, here it sounds like someone attempting to do an impression of Ugarte from Casablanca. Given he was the inspiration for the character that's not surprising, but it does make me wonder why Kasanoff didn't bother to voice him here. Lieutenant X's voice is different as well, sounding like an exaggerated impression of Christopher Walken and taking comically long pauses between each word.

The following scene is yet another Cheazel appearance and so is also drawn with proper storyboards, only this time they're back to the less detailed ones we saw earlier. I still absolutely LOVE these though- they're so full of life and character, and night and day compared to the utter lack of expressiveness in the finished film. Seeing Cheazel slither and snake around to Dex's increasing irritation is genuinely charming when drawn like this- it almost makes me wish we could've seen Foodfight! as a 2D animated movie, as clearly a lot of artists on the project had talent in that area.

Cheazel lures Dex right to the Brand X Detergent building, and he runs into Lady X. The two aggressively flirt as they start to tango, although their dancing isn't shown here as this entire sequence is represented through a single Photoshopped storyboard. This would've meant the animators had absolutely nothing to work from- even though they had already switched to motion capture around this time and so would've had the capture of actual dancing available as reference, it still helps to have storyboards for a sequence as complex as this. This does seem to happen more as the workprint goes on however, with multiple sequences only being represented by a single still image, suggesting they were pressed for time when putting the workprint together. It really does show once again how chaotic the production of Foodfight! was- no other animated movie on the planet is directed and boarded like this, no one would ever think to put it together in this way. And yet despite the bizarre way it's put together, it's still a thousand times more entertaining and appealing to look at than the finished film.

There's some additional dialogue here that's not in any other version of the story (not even the novelization or the script) where Lady X says "You've been playing in the wrong aisles, Dex. Snack foods are for kids, now detergents....well that's adults only". I really like this line, as it sheds some light as to why Lady X is so much more provocatively designed than the other Ikes- detergents ARE something that only adults buy, and so it makes sense the personification of that would be less child-friendly than that of a sugary breakfast cereal. I think this scene is especially well-delivered too- the people voicing Dex and Lady X are far more convincing as these characters, Dex having a lot more emotion in his voice and Lady X delivering all her lines with a throaty, seductive purr. I think they have a natural chemistry with each other here, far more than Charlie Sheen and Eva Longoria did in the actual movie. Even though this was just scratch track, I think they were a much better fit for the roles overall.

Dex refuses to fall for Lady X's charms, and so she sics her robotic Xobytes on him, in the process revealing that she used them to wipe out all the other Ikes the previous night. This scene was once again bizarrely left out of the movie (even though it contains a crucial piece of exposition), but it IS in both the novelization and the Sound Storybook I talked about recently, making this yet another scene that's in every version of Foodfight! but the actual movie. Crazy how that keeps happening, right?

The Xobytes swarm Dex and he's quickly rendered unconscious, Lady X sadly reflecting on how they could've had such beautiful products together (could they? He's a cereal mascot and she's a detergent icon...what does putting those two together entail?). The dialogue in this scene is somewhat different to other versions of the story, but there's not much to say about it other than, like all the other changes made here, the workprint does it better.

We're just about halfway through the workprint now, and unfortunately it's too long to cover in a single post (did you know Tumblr only allows 30 images per post? Yeah, me neither) but I hope you'll join me in the second half of this analysis so we can finish off covering the DEFINITIVE version of the Foodfight! story! I know I said the novelization was the definitive version back when I talked about that, but that was BEFORE a workprint of the entire movie from 2005 was discovered. Who knew this was ever going to be found? I sure didn't, but I couldn't be happier that it was. The animated sequences are incredibly well-crafted and it still blows my mind we finally get to see all the lost footage, the pencil-sketched storyboards are a delightful look at how certain sequences would've come together, the voices and dialogue are far better than the film itself, and even the Photoshopped boards give us plenty of glimpses at early character models. In short, every aspect of this workprint is better than anything in the finished film. Stay tuned for a brief interlude about all the brand mascots in this version of the movie as well as the second half of my analysis, and I'll catch you on the flipside!
