Look I am in class so this needs to be quick but here’s my Izzy predictions for season 2: my unhinged one and my slightly more sane one.

Slightly more sane: Izzy will have a potential/confirmed lover in S2 who’s a new character. Idk who the bitch with the blacked out nose is (it’s not Stede right?? I’ve got face blindness pls help) but when Iz says the line “it’s about belonging to something…” AUUUUU? Could be romance for him—also supported by the article that described his arc as romantic! I think he’s fully given up by Blackbeard/Ed and Izzy needs to get out and make a life for himself.

Unhinged: STIZZY FUCKING REAL??? STEDDYHANDS ENDGAME???? IZZY TRAINING STEDE???? THE ASS SLAP;:????

Le Paradis (2023)

(International Title: The Lost Boys)

Chin or hush from those prompts for any wayhaven couple you so choose 😊

Chin for Kasey/Mason, with a bonus of Kasey & Adam brotp. :D (Hush is here with Janine/Felix)

---

There were times Kasey wondered why she bothered with combat training. For all her eyerolls whenever Adam or Mason spouted off about supernatural superiority, they were... not wrong. Unfortunately.

She yelped and just managed to dodge a swipe at her head. "Don't actually hit me, you--"

Adam caught her wild swing back, letting her hand drop soon as he stopped the attempted hit. "You are thinking too much," he scolded. "While it's good to approach a fight tactically, you are trying to plan as if fighting another human."

Kasey crossed her arms and arched a brow at him. She'd take the lecture if it meant she got even a teensy break, but not without a little pushback. "And what, the rules don't apply?"

"No," Adam said, mirroring her stance. "Not when the difference in ability is so severe."

"Thanks for sugarcoating it," she snarked.

" I believe I have known you long enough to note you dislike being coddled, but I can put it in even harsher terms if you prefer," he retorted. His expression softened fractionally. "It does you no good to underprepare, Agent."

"Isn't everything I do underprepared for dealing with the supernatural?" Kasey growled in frustration as she raked hair out of her face. The shiny new title made her lack in certain areas sit even heavier in her thoughts.

"That's why you have us," Adam said. "To support you, protect you, train you."

"I'm shit at fighting anyway, Adam. Even before you throw in all the supernatural benefits." She smacked the back of her hand lightly against one of his massive biceps. Though those were probably hard work more than anything.

"Which is why you train." He let his arms fall, hands swinging at his sides. "You will not magically improve without practice. Returning to my initial point; you cannot try to plan your fight with a supernatural as you would a human--watching for patterns or tells. You will have to trust your instincts. Even that may not be enough--"

There it is, she thought dryly.

"--but it should at least buy you time. Now." He squared his shoulders. "Try again."

Even with the pep talk, such as it was, Kasey didn't manage to land a single hit over the next half hour. She came close a couple times, but didn't actually make contact. Adam landed every light tap (and held a few back from contact) aimed at her. He finally called it when she cursed with yet another miss.

"Finished rubbing it in?" Kasey panted, beelining for her water bottle.

He chuckled, the bastard. "You are improving, Kasey."

"Says the man who hasn't even broken a fucking sweat," Kasey groused.

"I said you were improving," Adam shrugged, "one of the benefits to age--few opponents are a challenge."

"Yeah, yeah," she huffed. "Go... beat up an elephant, or something else big."

Adam shook his head, but he was smiling as he turned to leave. "I will see you later, Agent."

Kasey grunted an affirmative, mid-swig from her water, and watched him go. She couldn't help being annoyed at herself, despite his encouragement. She knew being human limited her going up against supernaturals. She knew there was only so much she could do to minimize that, short of becoming a vampire herself. Didn't make it any less annoying to get handed her ass in a fight, she mused, eyeing the training equipment scattered around the room.

With a final deep drink from the water bottle and swipe at her face with her towel, Kasey pushed off the bench and strode for the punching bag. She had improved enough to know how to throw a decent punch in a few different ways. She practiced all of them, unleashing a salvo against the bag until she sensed a presence behind her.

"Adam said you were done."

She suppressed the instinctive flinch and skipped heartbeat at unexpected company, throwing on a smirk before she pivoted. "Aw, sunshine, you miss me that bad?"

"Yeah," Mason said with a shrug, and the casualness of it put her on her back foot for a moment before he matched her smirk. "You're more fun than anyone else around here."

"Felix will be crushed, but right back atcha," Kasey winked.

"So, if you wanna keep working up a sweat, why not do it with me?"

She huffed a wry laugh, stumbled a little when the punching bag swung into her back. "That would be more fun..."

Mason studied her for a moment, raking one hand through his hair. "Why are you still here? Beating people up has never been a special interest of yours."

"I dunno," Kasey shrugged, "just felt like I need more practice for my new line of work. Beating people up seems to happen a lot."

"Only since we met you, sweetheart," Mason snorted.

She chewed the inside of her cheek, debating the next part. "I want... I want to be better prepared. For the future." She ducked past him to start collecting her stuff, the words not ones she wanted to say looking him in the eye. "If going to toe to toe with supernaturals is gonna happen a lot" --she suppressed a shudder at the thought of Sin. Of fucking Murphy. --"which it seems to, I'd like to at least sort of hold my own. Even as a poor little mortal."

Mason was at her side, catching her arm, as she headed for the door. "Kasey."

She puffed out a sigh, ruffling her bangs. "...I didn't hit Adam one bloody time through the whole thing, didn't dodge him once, either." Shoved open the door to start down the hall. "If I can't even manage against a friend and teammate who's trying to help me train--"

Mason snorted, easily keeping pace. "Sweetheart, if beating Adam in a fight was the bar for joining the unit, none of us would fucking be here. He's nine hundred year old and his idea of relaxing is kicking my ass or Nate's ass or someone's ass."

"That's my point, though," Kasey said, lightly kicking the wall as she walked. "I don't need to beat him, but not even one hit, Mason. Not one. If I can't do that with stakes as low as a training match, what happens with something more serious?" She leaned against the wall near her door. "Do I even belong here if you guys are gonna have to keep an eye on me every single fight?" She rubbed the faint scars on her wrist.

"You say that like I mind keeping an eye on you," Mason smirked, letting the tip of one fang show as he bit his lip. But the flirtation vanished and he stepped forward, distractingly close, trapping her against the wall. He hooked a finger under her chin to tip it up, his thumb brushing light arcs over her jaw. "And of course you belong here. Hell, at this point I don't know how we'd cope without you."

"So you've said," Kasey mumbled, trying very hard not to let her thoughts drift to the sentence that had followed that statement before.

"And I don't like having to repeat myself," he said, faint rumble of a growl on the words. "Just because you're not as good in a fight as Adam doesn't mean we don't need you. But if you need something to distract you from bullshit doubts..." his gaze dipped to her mouth and back up as he smirked, "I'm happy to oblige."

"My hero," she deadpanned with a matching smirk and tugged him in by his shirt collar for a kiss. "You gonna help me get all sweaty again now?" she mumbled as her arm slid around his neck.

"The fun way this time, sweetheart," Mason promised, pressing close enough Kasey could feel his crystal digging into her chest. He slid his hands down her thighs and hiked her up to wrap her legs around his waist.

Kasey obliged, one hand groping for her doorknob as the other arm tightened around his neck and she kissed him again. "I'm holdin' you to that, sunshine."

Mason just chuckled and sucked a hickey at the base of her throat as the door finally yielded to her blind attempts and they all but tumbled into her room.

He was, per usual, as good as his word.

Truly sad that my favorite drawing of Alear thus far is blue Alear. An absolute travesty for the red Alear fandom (me).

Hello Deadpool and Wolverine fandom

I'd like to bring this golden post back in light of the Honda Odyssey scene

[rafeandonlyrafe]

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

[brainrotcharacters]

When irl pisses me off, I rewatch the Honda Odyssey scene to relax

[yeah-yeah-beebiss-1]

in case you were wondering how things went down at the pokemon world championships this weekend:

-during the top 8 of the TCG masters division, chilean player fernando cifuentes was running a gimmick deck that consisted exclusively of four iron thorns ex and a whole ton of control-focused trainer cards in a strategy that either completely shuts down opponents or shits the bed entirely

-through skillful play and some good luck, fernando made it through 2 days in a tournament with over 1100 players to get to the quarterfinals

-fernando lost 2-0 to ian robb, who was running regidrago vstar (widely considered one of the best decks in the current format)

-in an overexuberant victory celebration, ian did what can only be described as a jacking-off gesture, on a stream with tens of thousands of viewers run by a company with very firm player conduct expectations

-the judges determined that this warranted a penalty of game loss, but for some reason, rather than applying it to ian’s next game in the semifinals, they applied it to the one he had just won in the top 8

-(it should be noted that the prize money for making top 8 is $15k while top 4 is $20k, so this jerking gesture cost ian robb $5,000)

-nearly an hour after fernando came to terms with his loss and the end of an impressive run, he was told that he was to get back on stream because he’s now playing in the semifinals due to winning by default

-the player he was up against in the semifinals was playing a deck (miraidon) that happens to get shut down hard by iron thorns’s gimmick, so fernando wins the semifinals

-said player, jesse parker, had notably had an undefeated run throughout the whole tournament up to this point, and likely would have continued that streak had his intended semifinal opponent not gotten a game loss penalty for miming a lewd act on stream

-meanwhile, the other semifinal winner is japan’s seinosuke shiokawa, running a deck (roaring moon) that players had largely written off as underwhelming months ago

-the grand finals are on the following day, so saturday evening was abuzz with a lot of people baffled by the absurdity of the situation

-come sunday afternoon, the grand finals are set to begin, with fernando cifuentes running iron thorns and seinosuke shiokawa running roaring moon

-it should be noted here that the roaring moon deck doesn’t rely very much on abilities, so iron thorns’s gimmick has very little effect - this is basically an even matchup

-fernando wins the first game of the set, and seinosuke wins the second

-the third and final game of the set is a bonafide cheek-clencher, with both players reaching a state where a single KO will win the game, but fernando manages to clinch it at the last minute

-and that’s the story of how a guy pretending to jork it led to the first instance of a pokemon world champion who also lost the quarterfinals

“They gave me runway in this film. There’s one monologue in there. I can’t tell you the details of it. I say more words in that monologue than I said in an entire movie once as Wolverine. But there are sides of the character that I’ve been scratching at for 24 years […] There is stuff in this movie where I was like, ‘This is the thing I’ve been trying to get out’ and I feel so excited about it.”
